Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Great time!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls

Justin's Surf Bus was Awesome!

Reviewed by: Chris B

The Surf Bus tour to the North Shore was the best tour that we took. Our driver Justin was awesome. On the tour of the island he was very knowledgable and pointed out lots of things that we would have missed if we had just taken a rental car. This tour also gave us lots of options as far as activities and a choice of beaches to spend time at. Waimea Bay was the best beach on the island and the jumping rock was a lot of fun. I would recomend this tour to anyone!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was told by a friend that it would be better to move by taxi, but after trying this trolley, which is not available in Japan, I can say it was refreshing and pleasant. I took the Blue Line to Hanauma Bay. I also frequently used the Pink Line for shopping.

友人からはタクシーで移動すればいいのでは??と言われていましたが日本にはないこのトロリーという乗りものに乗ってみて思ったのは開放感があり気持ちいいの一言です。ブルーラインでハナウマ湾まで行ってきました。あとお買い物にピンクラインをよく利用しました。

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Great Day Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We took this tour because it was a great variety of the island. Our guide "cowboy" was awesome and very knowledgeable. Very descriptive of the Pearl Harbor attack and then just generally around the island also. The Pearl Harbor tour was a great experience and the guide had some excellent advise to get in and out of the crowds. The Circle island was also amazing as you could see the Dole Plantation, although really only a gift shop as it is no longer a functioning plant, the Mac nut farms, and then see lots of the gorgeous surfing beaches! Overall this was a great tour, but you must be willing to get up SUPER early and be prepared to be gone all day. We were picked up from our hotel at 5:50AM, and weren't returned until around 5:30PM. But it was a great scenic day.

オアフ島 熱帯雨林ハイキング 初心者~中級者向け <英語ガイド>

Secret hiking? 秘密のハイキング?

Reviewed by: nori

I recommend this for those who have visited Manoa Falls as mentioned in the guidebook and felt they could walk more or want a bit more adventure!

There were seven participants, including myself. Three were solo travelers, one couple, and one married couple, all from the mainland United States. The guide primarily spoke English but also shared a little bit of Japanese. I think even those who don't understand English at all will be fine. Rather, we were walking quite a bit, so there wasn't much opportunity for conversation during the hike.

It felt more like trekking off the beaten path than I expected, so I think it's better to wear trekking shoes or change into borrowed rubber boots. I went in short sleeves and shorts, but even with insect repellent, I still got bitten (the swelling went down quickly♪), so I recommend long pants for those who are prone to mosquito bites. As for belongings, everything was fine as listed.

ガイドブックに載っているマノアの滝に行った方で、歩き足りなかった方やもう少し冒険したい方にオススメです!

参加者は私を含め7名でした。一人参加が3名、カップル1組、ご夫婦1組で、全員アメリカ本土からの方でした。ガイドは基本的に英語ですが、ほんの少し知ってる日本語を披露してくれました。全く英語がわからない方でも平気だと思います。とゆうより、かなり頑張って歩くので移動中はみんな話す余裕はなかったです。

思ったより道なき道を進む感じで、トレッキングシューズを履いていくか、長靴が借りられるので履き替えた方がよいと思います。半袖&ハーフパンツで行きましたが、虫除けスプレーをしても刺されてしまったので(すぐ腫れは引きました♪)、蚊に刺されやすい方は長ズボンをお勧めします。持ち物などは、記載された通りで平気でした。

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

good introduction to Oahu

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Pearl Harbor is a must for any hot blooded American. I was on the brink of tears most of the time. Our carefree life in the USA is provided by countless sodiers, policemen, and firemen. They are true heros.

The circle the island tour is a good way to see Oahu within hours. My only suggestion is to have lunch at one of the shrimp trucks instead of a restaurant. Honey's Restaurant is decent but hardly unique. I'd rather have a plate of shrimps on rice from a truck. That, to me, is uniquely Oahu.

The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly, deserving of praise.

It's $ worth spending if one has never been to Oahu.

The kind of romance we were after..

This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.

The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.

The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.

I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.

We had Olafe as our tour guide. He is fantastic. I am a history buff and yet I learned more about the Dec 7th attack in that one trip then I have learned in all of my life.

He really really knows his stuff. Thank you to him.

I have only one complaint, the instructions to get to the hotel to meet the tour were very poor.
I think that they would be fine if a person knew the area, but we had never even been on that island. However once again Olafe was great. He waited for us and we made it. I am 61 years old and I have wanted to see that memorial for at least 50 years. I would have been heart broken if I had missed it.

So than you again Olafe

【冬季限定!1/3~3/21】ホエールウォッチ スターオブホノルル号 1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船!軽食&ドリンク付き<ワイキキ送迎可>

Exciting エキサイティング

Reviewed by: リンク

I participated with lunch and transportation included. The lunch was okay. For the transportation, I realized it’s better to speak up when you see a bus that looks like it belongs to the tour, rather than just waiting at the pickup spot. This applies not only to this tour but also to others.

It seemed fine to be picked up at the hotel and to stay at Aloha Tower on the way back (since the number of people going and returning was different).

Now, there were quite a few people on board, and I thought we probably wouldn’t see any whales. So, I was in a complete state of giving up, just looking at the sea while saying, “I heard they give you a ticket to ride again.”

Then, my child started to fuss about being hungry, and while I was asking, “Do you want to eat?” there was an announcement on the boat saying, “There’s a whale at 2 o'clock.”

Suddenly, the boat was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was thrilled when they saw the whale's tail! We were able to see the tail multiple times, but since it’s a wild animal, it was at the whale's pace. We kept looking at the sea, and it was like, “Oh, it just spouted! I saw the tail!”

I was wondering, “Aren’t whales usually in groups?” and then we spotted another whale at 9 o'clock!

It was quite exciting! It was more thrilling than when we went to see dolphins. The dolphins were cute, but the whales gave a sense of the grandeur of nature, which was incredibly moving. It felt like discovering Mount Fuji??? Maybe because you can’t see them in aquariums?

On the boat, there were various activities like hula and ukulele lessons, and making leis, which were fun. It was a moment that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy.

However, coffee, tea, and fruit punch were free, while other soft drinks and alcohol were at an additional charge... I thought it would have been nice if at least one drink was free.

Also, they take the promised photo when boarding. It’s a nice keepsake, so we always buy it, but the boarding process takes quite a while for the group to gather, so be prepared to wait patiently.

ランチ・送迎付きでの参加です。
ランチはまあまあ。送迎は、ピックアップ場所で待ってるだけよりは、それらしいバスを見かけたら自分から声をかけた方がいいなと実感しました。これは、このツアーだけでなく、他のツアーに参加するときもそうです。

ホテルで拾ってもらって、帰りはアロハタワーに残る事もOKのようでした。(行きと帰りの人数が違っていたので)

さて、乗船人数はかなり多かったですが、私たちはクジラはもう見れないかなーと思っての参加でした。
だから「再度乗れるよっていう券、くれるらしいよ~」なんて言って完全諦めモードで海を眺めてました。

そのうち、子供がおなかがすいたとぐずりだしたので「食べる?」なんて言ってたら、「クジラが2時の方向に居る」との船内放送がありました。

そうしたら、船内がザワザワというかキャー!というか、もうみんな浮き足立って
クジラのシッポが見えると 大歓声!
何度もシッポを見る事はできましたが、やはりそれは自然の生き物なのでクジラのペースです。
ずーっと海を見ていて 「あ、今、潮吹いた!シッポが見えた!」という感じでした。

「クジラって群れで居ないのかなー」って言ってたら、今度は9時の方向でもクジラが!

かなりエキサイティングでしたよー。
ドルフィンを見に行った時よりも盛り上がりました。
ドルフィンは「かわいい!」って感じでしたが、ホエールはなんか大自然の雄大さを感じるというか感激度もすごかったです。富士山を発見した時のような感じ???水族館などでも見れないという事からですかね?


船内では、フラ、ウクレレのレッスン・レイを作るなど様々な催しがあり、楽しかったです。
子供からお年寄りまでたのしめたひと時でした。

ただ、コーヒー、紅茶、フルーツパンチは無料。それ以外のソフトドリンクとアルコールが別料金だったので・・・・
どうせなら1杯は無料とかだと良かったのにな~と思いました。

あと、乗船の時に お約束の写真を撮ります。
記念になるので我が家では絶対に買うのですが、撮影で乗船時にかなりもたつきます。グループで全員揃って、気長に待ってね。という感じです。

This is the Star of Honolulu.
We are pleased to hear that whales were observed on the day of your cruise. Since they are natural creatures, there are times when they may not appear, even on days when guests are scheduled to return the next day, so we believe you were truly lucky.
If you have the opportunity, please consider using the Star of Honolulu again. Thank you for sailing with us this time.
