Good hike, a bit difficult though as there are rock parts and tough hills.

Me and my husband enjoyed this cruise, they made our honeymoon full of fun!

Pearl Harbor is a very memoric place! Great day I loved it.

This is not your regular Luau event that you go to. My husband and I were celebrating our 5th year wedding anniversary and it’s his first trip after 35 years. I was surprised to know that I was not only watching or going to a luau but also going to a comedy show. Chief was amazingly great! His delivery was superb and did not seem rehearsed but was very natural. The staff (i feel bad that I didn’t get his name :( but he was great) took care of a mishap that happened and was very professional. Everyone was so great and I will definitely go back and tell my friends to make sure to see Chiefs Luau.

We were picked up right on time and our driver/ tour guide was very knowledgeable about the points of interest, culture and history. I was very impressed!! Not too forget the lunch stop was delicious!

This was suppose to be one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu… the Pearl Harbor specifically the visit to USS Arizona! We fully paid months before our Hawaii trip. Why a poor review? There were 18 of us. Families and friends. We were informed that they were not able to get a ticket for us to go to USS Arizona, right during the bus pickup! Our other friends who were on a different time slot, same day, were able to do so no problem. We feel that this company should have informed us ahead of time so we would have an opportunity to book with another company. So disappointed! Not good business! I hope this does not happen to anyone else.

I looked at a lot of tours and this one seemed most inclusive. I had done one many years ago and wanted to show my kids now. First of all, it’s awesome when you have a fun tour guide. I’m sure they are all great, but I did feel lucky to have “Chief Rob” as ours. Because he is local and taught us a lot about Hawaiian culture and the language and history. I enjoyed hearing about his family too. He is a funny guy with a lot of information and also incredibly good delivery with the jokes! Made us all laugh and interact. But also the tour has the perfect stops. You get to see just about everything! Obviously can’t stay too long every place as it takes 10 hours in the end already. But it seemed just right to me at most places. If you are buying food anywhere, have one person jump in line and the other goes to shop and look around. We didn’t get shave ice in Haleiwa as the lines were too long but it was nice to walk around the area. Next stop was Dole anyway and we got Dole Whip there. The food stop at Fumis was delicious! Man that shrimp is so good that now I don’t want to eat it at home. I only want the good stuff! One of my favorite stops was Waimea Falls. Time was tight there with kids whining and trying to make it to see the Falls. We made it and hustled back in the refreshing rain and were one of the last on the bus. It’s just such a beautiful place and I could stay for hours. But next time you rent a car and go to your favorite places. It was a great tour and I highly recommend it! Thanks Rob!

This is truly a 5-star luxury experience and the best Oahu sunset dinner cruise. From start to finish you are treated like royalty by friendly and helpful staff. We had the package that includes transportation to and from Waikiki and 4 drinks each (1 Captain's Bellini drink and 3 premium drink tickets). When you arrive you are greeted by dancers, the crew, and captains. You have an opportunity to meet the captains and get amazing photos before setting off on the cruise. The boat was very accessible with elevators to each of the decks. The 5-star luxury SuperNova deck is beautiful and spacious. You are treated to a 7-course dinner and live jazz trio band. At any point you are free to roam the private top deck area for incredible photos of Oahu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, ocean, and sunset. I would advise anyone who signs up for the 5-star luxury deck to wear the appropriate attire (business to formal). I don't think you would be allowed boarding with swimsuits or t-shirts. Dress pants, sneakers and collared shirts should be fine for men, but be aware some guests will dress very formal and be celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, etc. We highly recommend the 5-star luxury dinner experience as it was one of our favorite parts of our Hawaii trip.

This Luau is a must! It is so entertaining. The Chief’s story is so heartfelt, the performance is awesome and the food is amazing! I am so glad we chose this Luau to attend. Definitely one of a kind performance!

the crew was friendly and we easily found our way to the table. The ship was clean while a bit snug easy to move around. We really thought the entertainment was well done and varied with polynesian dancers and jazz musicians. Our dinner was well presented and prepared.
The Deluxe 3 Star was the way to go.

Very easy booking/ shuttle was right on time and driver was friendly and clear about instructions for when we got to the memorial. No having to wait on lines and the tour gave plenty of time to see the memorial and walk around the grounds. Would highly recommend

Really important part to Hawaii if you ask me. I would not have missed this tour

If you have limited time in Hawaii, this is a MUST DO! The atmosphere is amazing, the hosts truly make you feel like family! Delicious food & drinks-A perfect blend of laughter, history, and talented performers.

Every staff member we encountered were super polite and happy. The 30 minute tour was very informative. Enjoyed being able to take my time after guided tour to really experience what life was like on the ship during that time. The ship Is really well preserved.

I booked this sunset cruise trip as a get-away trip for me and my mum. My mum is 70 years old and she has bad knees so we have limited activities we can enjoy in Honolulu. The Star of Honolulu is probably the biggest cruise I can find in Oahu. It even has an elevator so my mum does not need to climb stairs!
I was super impressed with the service. As soon as we boarded the ship, we were brought to deck #4 through the elevator, this is the top deck. We were greeted by crew members, have our private photo opportunity with the captain and two beautiful dancers. we enjoyed our onboard drink and appetizer before being brought to our table. by the way we have six alcohol drink vouchers as part of the package. we had a five-course meal: soup, salad, lobster, wellington beef, icecream, and desertl food is absolutely delicious. this is absolutely five star luxury dinner. Most of people were celebrating anniversary, honeymoon or birthday. The crews are super friendly and attentive. When my mom and I walked to the deck to take sunset pictures, they came out to help us! I highly recommended the tour, it will make your the other half feel so special. My best memory of Honolulu.

We have been to others, but this one was the best ever! It was unforgettable
Nonstop entertainment with lots of variety, engaging the audience as well.
The basket weaving, coconut and fire demonstrations were great. Such a variety of food, drink and hula dancing, war dances, and lest anyone could forget, the fire dances ! We loved it!

Our guide, Nani gave us an awesome experience. Very knowledgeable & fun music!

During the drive, I found it fascinating to hear about the origins of Hawaii and current stories from the guide in Japanese. The Dole Plantation was also a perfect spot for a restroom break and souvenir shopping. The main horseback riding was guided by a kind elderly couple who owned the ranch, and it was enjoyable to ride through the forest course. Having only six people in the group made it relaxing and fun. It was my first time horseback riding, but it felt similar to walking a dog, and I was able to control the horse well. In Haleiwa, I tried the garlic shrimp that the guide recommended, and it was the best I've ever had. On the way back, I fell asleep and we quickly arrived in Waikiki. I'm glad I experienced this tour.

ドライブ中はガイドさんから、日本語でハワイの起源とか現在の話が聞けて興味深かった。
また、ドールプランテーションも丁度良いトイレ休憩とお土産購入になった。
メインの乗馬も牧場主の優しい老夫婦の案内で林間コースを回った。
人数が6人と少なかったのが良かったのか、のんびりして楽しかった。
乗馬は初めてだったが、犬の散歩と似ていてコントロールでき、良い子だった。
ハレイワでは、ガイドさんが教えてくれたガーリックシュリンプを食べたが、今までで一番美味しかった。
帰りは、寝てあっという間にワイキキに着いた。
このツアーは体験して良かった。

Was a great humbling experience I would definitely recommend to families with children- history is always good to learn and experience thank you so much for this experience as it has made me feel whole.

Great views, service, and well served lunch. I will surely recommend this to anyone.

Such a nice time with the kids. They enjoyed the dancers the most and they really had skilled and amazing dancers. The Chief is entertaining and kind and just joyful. I enjoyed him hosting. The food is also very good and the kids tried everything. I think they did so well with the buses and the set up and the service. Its memorable. It’s a very large gathering and I’m amazed at how well they handled so many people.

The food , the music , the scenery , the service is great . I would definitely take the tour again we love it .

Bumpy trail be weary, however beautiful jungle scenery!

Great day, I love to get a deeper understanding of what we went through.

We had Jonah as our tour guide, and it was a fantastic experience! We were picked up from the front of our hotel and shared a van with two other couples, which was nice. Jonah immediately began telling us all about local buildings and other factoids as we drove to our first location. All of the locations were a lot of fun, but the stand out was the sea turtles. We were able to stay there a bit longer than planned and enjoy the several wild sea turtles who were swimming by and beginning to climb onto the sand. Everyone had a blast taking pictures of this, and Jonah was clearly enjoying himself as well and made sure to point out other turtles he saw for us to get a full experience! 10/10 would recommend!

The views are just breathtaking! Lani, the tour guide, was a friendly and joyful spirit.

We enjoyed the entertainment, however the tables were too close together, not even a arms length, and the lobster was served whole and was difficult to cut .

Initially I was a bit skeptical about booking the sunset cruise because it had mixed reviews. It was my husband’s birthday so I took a chance. The booking I must say could be a bit easier to navigate, however this review is about the amazing experience. The transportation to the dock was free and luxurious from our hotel. Arriving at the dock we were greeted by music and the nicest staff, where we were then guided to the top deck to a welcome ceremony with Hors d’oeuvres and photos with the captain. After which we were shown to our table and the luxurious dining experience commenced. There were seven courses of excellent food and amazing staff. Our server Tyler was very nice and accommodating. The live piano jazz was a nice touch. The view was absolutely amazing so many photo worthy moments out on the deck! The overall experience was well worth it. The only con I would say is that the ship is a bit weathered, needs painting and updating in the dining rooms. Despite the dated decor we had a fantastic time.

Our guide Jonah was bloody awesome. The bloke could be a part time real estate agent! Chilled as too. His ring tone - soundtrack to Magnum PI should be Hawaii's anthem.

The minibus was clean and looked fairly new - no mucking about. Jonah had his headset so all the peeps in the backseat could hear his valuations of properties, which doughnut vans and food trucks to eat at, movies and tv shows filmed in Hawaii and places of interests. He struck a pose better than Madonna when she first donned the headset.

Lunch was at a massive gathering of food trucks. Superb tucker! Huli Huli Chicken is a must, as well as the garlic prawns (shrimps, for you Yankies) at The Bald Guy - all recommended by Jonah - he's been there done them all - how does he keep that figure?

I won't spoil it too much - we got to see turtles swimming in less than a metre away from you (3 feet) as well.

Anyway, I highly recommend this tour - avoid the bloody big buses and have an intimate one with Jonah - he's an absolute bloody legend - nuf said!

Such an amazing experience!!! Absolutely loved it.
