Oahu
The Oahu Dinner Sunset Cruise was very nice; the service was great and the food was excellent.
Gave us a chance to spend more time at the North Shore (we stayed at Waikiki).
I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island for the first time. As long as the pick-up bus gets started, the tour is a fun and enjoyable one while learning a great deal about the history of Pearl Harbor. Tour guide was excellent.
An outstanding tour. We did the "Explorers' Tour" which was fascinating and John, our guide, was brilliant. A once in a lifetime opportunity to see the workings of a battleship and see what our brave men had to endure with 'life on board'.
We had a great time on this tour. We saw a little bit of everything. Rongo, our guide, was so much fun, and so knowledgable. He had so much personal knowledge of the island we often felt like we were somehow being driven around by an old friend who wanted to 'show us around'. Rongo was just a great, great guide. We had fun. We had time to take pictures anywhere we stopped, never felt rushed or hurried. Loved everything we saw and felt like we got a very complete 'view' of the island as well as it's history and all of the things that made 'Oahu'....Oahu. We took this tour our second day in Oahu in case we stumbled across something we would want to spend more time investigating later. We're glad we did. Rongo was also willing to give us tips on great places to eat, or grab a drink. We really had fun!
I just want to say this was one of the most enjoyable, educational tours we've taken. 'Mr. Bill' our guide was very informative and had a sense of humor. I would recommend the full Explorer tour to everyone, you learn so much. As my father was on the USS Colorado for twenty years and I always wanted to know what life was really like during the war on one of these beautiful ships. It is really hard to imagine what our boys went through during WWII and have great admiration for all those that served.
The tour can't be called fun, but i can say "don't miss it". It's very informative, quite solemn (the Arizona portion) and something i think every visitor should take in. It was well organized, good timing, and did everything we hoped it would.
We were very happy with our experience and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.
we absolutely had a great time on the cruise we saw whale activity just as promised. The only two things that I would suggest in the future is that you may want to utilize more of the boats space with the activities you provided, people were too crowded. the buffet needed to be held open longer and have food available in supple amounts those of us who were told we could watch the whales longer and that the buffet would be there came back to limited food and a quick clean up.
If you would really like to do something romantic for your boyfriend or girlfriend this is the web page where you can find many activities. I got a surprise limo ride from the luau back to our hotel, and I have to say it was nice way to end the Luau dinner. The staff was very helpful. You can call them during their work hours and they will help you any way they can. I really recommend it.
A very fun time with a nice tour guide and his family. Unique stops on the North SHore that most tour companies just drive by. Highly Recommended!
My bother and I went on the Oahu Day Cruise on April 10th 2008 just for an activity for the day. The cruise was an amazing experience with great staff and good people. The whales were amazing that day, so there was no lack of seeing one. I would highly recommend this activity during april or wnever there are whales to watch. It was quite an experience. Thanks to Hawaii Activities, and the Star of Honolulu crew.
My family had a wonderful time on this cruise. We would do this again if we go back to Hawaii. Everyone should try it, the food was great, the entertainment was great. Evrything was wonderful.
Our tour driver was excellent. Garfield was energetic, informative, polite, and entertaining. We learned lots of things from him and had a great time.
Thanks, Gar - we really appreciated your care of us while touring Oah'u. You certainly made our day.

The meal, the activities alongside the watching, and the prices were all satisfactory. We saw whales several times!! However, they didn't jump as much as in the photos. It felt more like their fins were rolling with the waves. Still, being able to experience whales up close like this is truly unique to Hawaii.
食事内容、ウォッチングと平行しているアクティビティー、料金とも納得できるものでした。クジラも何度か出てくれましたしね!!でもあの写真程はジャンプしませんでした。波とともに背びれがうねる~と言う感じです。それにしても こんなに近くでクジラを感じられるのはやはりハワイならではですよね。
Thank you very much for participating in the whale watching tour. We look forward to having you on board again.
この度はホエールウォッチングにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
又のご乗船お待ちしております。
Was really informative, fun, yet still educational. Took the whole family we all enjoyed it. The tour around the city was just right to get the main points of Hawaiian history. The driver was very well informed on all the facts.
My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!
As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.
I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!
My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.
The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.
The Travel DRS give a 5**** to Hawaii Activities.
I will let other Travel Agents know about this site!
Customer Service is professional, helpful and respond the same day to any messages left for them. The website is user friendly and documents have easy accessibility.

This was a great tour. I am planning on doing it again in 2009. Our tour guide/driver, Art, was great. Great deal and very informative.
Brother Oscar was great. Informative and entertaining. A great tour for all. Well recommended.
IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE WATCHING WHALES WHILE HAVING LUNCH. HAD A GREAT TIME!
Your tour guide was Ron. He was the best tour guide anyone would want. He was very knowledgeable and took time to show us everything. Thank you very much. The MO is magnificent.
Great tour and guide
I took my girl on this 3 star dinner cruise and we had a really great time. She thought watching the sunset out by diamond head was really romantic - bonus points for me! I never ate a whole lobster before and it was awesome. The show was pretty sweet too because it is a small stage and they are really close to you and they have cool costumes. Thanks for a great night!
Pearl Harbor-Battleship Missouri Tour. I had randomly chosen this tour as a last-minute activity before we visited Honolulu. It was a wonderful surprise to have a very knowledgeable individual tour guide. The additional spaces we we able to visit on the ship were awesome and it was indeed worth price of admission.
We briefly saw some whales, but did not really get close enough to get any good pictures. Food was okay. The air conditioning was on high and everyone, even the mem on board were complaining about how cold it was. It was cool and windy out on deck, but people were going out to try to warm up. It really distracted from the enjoyment of the cruise.
The Whale watch cruise aboard the Star of Honolulu was enjoyable. We did see whales from a distance and near the boat. We also saw spinner dolphins at the beginning of the cruise.
The other activities on board besides the whale watching was entertaining. My daughter enjoyed making leis for us and herself.
The lunch that was served was delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed returning to the buffet for a second helping of the salads. My daughter enjoyed the fruits and cookies that were served. The price of drinks were a bit pricey.
I want to thank the staff who helped me cleanup after my daughter when she became seasick on the cruise. They also stopped by our table afterwards and inquired about how she was doing. Thanks for your concern. Thanks also to the passengers who helped me as well with their kleenex and kindness.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants an off island excursion. It shows the island's beauty from a different viewpoint.
This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!
It was the highlight of our Vacation! If anybody is interested in history then you need to go and do the tour ! We loved it!!!
The cruise was nice and we DID see whales! Not a lot of them, but a few spouts and breaches. Too far to really get any type of photo. The lunch is well worth it - better food than what we had at the Polynesian Center Luau!!! I'd recommend to friends who are on first time visits.
This was worthwhile. Guide was helpful, informative, friendly. One drawback - necessary time limitations; if you really want to be leisurely about the visit, tour the museum using the audio guide ($5 price, not part of Hawaiiactivities.com), shop the store at your pace, etc., it may be better to drive yourself to the site. If that's not your objective, then this tour is perfect. The tour of Honolulu afterward was very enjoyable, giving bits of history and current news.
