Oahu
This tour is perfect for experiencing Hawaiian culture! I participated in a standing ovation for the first time in my life during the impressive show. The ice cream sold during the show's intermission was also delicious! I definitely recommend it! (^ -^)
ハワイのカルチャーを感じるのにぴったりのツアーです！
迫力のショーで人生で初めてスタンディングオーべーションに参加しました。
ショーの休憩中に、販売されるアイスも美味しかったです！
是非、おすすめです(^-^)

Amazing time, fun atmosphere! We went as a family of 4 adults a 7yr old & 1yr old. I wasn't too sure if it would be children friendly but it was. Well worth the money. It was a great start to our vacation. The Maitais were great but be careful they creep up on you. The captain & bartender were amazing and attentive. Just bring a light coat because it is at night and of course with the wind it could get chilly but good thing I read a review and went prepared. Loved it!!!
My husband booked this for me for my birthday. The stuff was very friendly and funny and very nice. The buffet style dinner was very good. The two drink voucher included alcoholic drinks and the Mai Tais were super yummy. They gave you a option of purchasing a large souvenir cup for $8.00 which you may use your drink ticket to refill rather than the small plastic cup. Way better deal.. We sailed around diamond head and then back to Waikiki. The sun set was amazing.There was nothing to complain about at all on this boat . It was definitely worth it and i would do it again on my next trip to the island .This is a must do so my sure it's on your list of things to do list . If you're looking to surprise someone for their birthday or even pop the question this is a perfect way to do it I highly recommend it.
Our Greeter was so friendly... ordered these welcome lei's as a surprise for my friend who I was traveling with.. She is allergic to flowers, I was able to do a traditional kukui nut lei with a shell upgrade, these were beautiful and fragrant free, perfect for my friend and we could still enjoy a welcome lei... Our greeter was so nice, took our picture, guided us down to baggage claim and helped us find our rental car shuttle.
Got to experience the cultures of all the islands and had a wonderfull tour
Great experience, had very good time, food was awesome
After swimming with the dolphins at Sea Life Park, we simply walked back through the park to the Luau (very convenient). We were greeted warmly with a shell necklace and photo op with the Chief, and then got to enjoy some games (spear tossing, a Polynesian version of musical chairs (except with sticks), braiding palm leaves to make head-bands, and hula dancing). There were also some tables with native-made goods for sale. Then the Chief led the unveiling ceremony of the roasted pig (he is very entertaining and funny), got our non-alcoholic drinks and food (which was very tasty, especially the pineapple cake!), and then enjoyed the show. The hula dancers were very talented, the fire dancers where great, and it was neat to see all the different dance styles of the islands that were represented. It was our 2nd wedding anniversary, so we got to go up on stage with some other couples and they honored us with some pretty flowers! The only down-side was that the location is a little small, but other than that, we had a great time!
We took our 3 children aged 2,4 and 9 and we all had a fabulous afternoon. The staff are friendly and professional and it was a real highlight of our stay. It's a must do!
I participated from dinner time. It takes about an hour to get to the Polynesian Cultural Center, so I requested a shuttle to the hotel. The guide was very entertaining and shared various stories about Hawaii's history, plants, and mountains. The meal didn't have a wide variety, but the show featured many dancers performing different dances, which was very impressive. I recommend it for beginners to Hawaii and families.
ディナータイムから参加しました。
ポリネシア文化センターまでは1時間くらいかかるので、ホテルまでの送迎をお願いしました。
ガイドさんはとても面白い方でハワイの歴史や植物の話、山の話など色々として頂きました。
食事はあまり種類が多くなく、そこまででしたが、ショーはダンサーの方が多く、色々なダンスをしてくれたので、とても見応えがありました。
ハワイの初心者の方や、家族連れの方にオススメです。

This was the worst dinner cruise I've ever experienced. It felt more like a fishing boat. It was rocky for families with children, and the dinner was terrible... I regret not choosing something like Five Star. Next time, I will join a cruise on a larger ship.
今までで、ディナークルーズとしては、最悪でした。釣りに行く船やないですか。子供連れには、揺れるし、ディナーは、まずいし...
ファイブスターとかに、したら良かったと、後悔しています。次回は、大きな船のクルーズに参加します。

It was a special Friday night! We sailed all the way to the diamond head and came back to around Waikiki and stayed in the best spot for the firework. The firework together with the view of Honolulu seen from the sea was exquisite!
There was nothing to complain about the boat trip - the boat was clean and had enough space for everybody to enjoy the ocean view and the wind. The drink and food served was good, and the crews were very very friendly.
The boarding time was about 3 hours which felt perfect for me.
Some people didn't feel good because of sea sick, and I regretted not to having brought wind breaker - so prepare those for your own sake.
Do the orchids!!! My husband was surprised and they lasted a long time. Keep them in the fridge. Yes there are orchids in the airport to buy but it is not the same as getting the Hawaiian greeting. Definitely for 1st timers. Kids would love this!
Loved the show and it was great to have some time at the end to take photos with the performers. A great night!
At first, I thought there were about 50 people on board. There were only us and one other group of Japanese people. There wasn't any special event, but the food was delicious, and we got to see Diamond Head, surfers, the sunset, and since we went on a Friday, we also saw the Hilton fireworks. It was really great! Initially, I had booked a different tour, but it got canceled when we entered the dry dock, so I chose this tour instead. I highly recommend it and plan to go again next year.
最初思いましたが、結構50人位乗っていたような？気がします。、
日本人は私たちともう１組のみでした～
何か催しものがあるわけではないのですが、ご飯もおいしかったし、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サーフィンする人たち、夕日、さらに、金曜日に行ったのでヒルトンの花火も見れたし～本当によかったです！
最初は実は別のツアーを予約していましたが、ドライドックに入るとキャンセルになり
こちらのツアーにしましたが、おすすめだし、来年も行こうと思います。

Operating a similar business on a neighbor island, it was clear the crew was burnt out on tourists. Too many customers for two crew and a captain. Waiting in line around 15 minutes for a drink to be made by the one crew member that had experience behind the bar was completely unacceptable. For over 40 customers to have one bartender and one deckhand that stood around looking pretty while the poor bartender served the drinks and even had to shut down the bar to prepare the food while the other deckhand was nowhere to be found. And his famous quote of the evening to make us feel like we were costing the company money to be out on the water was as follows "there is only limited amount of food to go around for everyone, and typically only one cookie per person." While they nickel and dime everyone for 2 small servings of alcohol/drink. Regarding the food it was limited selection with a pasta salad, one chicken, one beef, rice, an unappetizing tofu wrap, and one cookie. Also, there is limited table seating. Truly there is only space for 8 to 12 people to eat with a table, so it can be difficult to eat if you are sitting on the floor and it is choppy/wavy.
Such a lovely experience, great service and efficient organisation of the whole tour! Can't say more really!!
The dance show was amazing, without a doubt!! I booked the luau package and was lucky enough to get seats in the second row from the front (though we were viewing from the side). The choreography of the dance itself was structured like a story, so I was never bored watching it, and seeing it from the front was incredibly powerful. The fire dance towards the end was thrilling! It was a night that will become a lifelong memory.
Although the dinner time wasn't until after the dance show, I was still able to see some authentic hula. It seemed like photography was allowed, so I’ve been reminiscing about it since I got home. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend it.
なんといってもダンスショーがよかったです！！
ルアウパッケージで予約したのですが、運良く前から2番目の席で見ることができました。（横方向から見る形でしたが）
ダンスの構成自体も、ストーリー仕立てで飽きずに見ることができましたし、
前のほうで見ると迫力も満点でした。
最後のほうのファイヤーダンスではハラハラもの！
一生の思い出になりそうな一晩でした。
ディナーの時間もダンスショーまでではないにせよ、
本格的なフラを見ることができました。こちらは撮影可能のようで、家に帰ってからも
思い出してみています。
お料理もおいしく、お奨めです。

The Maitai sunset cruise was lots of fun! Drinks were flowing, the crew was so chill and the boat brought us some gorgeous views of the coastline and the sunset. A great addition to any trip to Waikiki.
I've been to Hawaii more than ten times, but I had never been to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I participated in the Twilight Deluxe tour that departs in the evening!
The meeting place was punctual, and after we departed, our student guide kept the bus lively and entertaining, making the journey enjoyable!
Once we arrived at the center, we had a little time to take photos around the park before entering the buffet area! I enjoyed browsing the shops as well. There were many cute souvenirs, and I bought a Hawaiian doll! It was such a cute little figure.
At the buffet, everything was delicious, including the roast beef and shrimp! I ended up drinking too much because all the beverages were so good. I highly recommend the pineapple juice—definitely give it a try!
When we entered the show venue, our seats were in the third row from the front, right in the center! It was amazing and very moving! I definitely want to see it again, and next time I think I’ll explore the center during the day.
During the intermission of the show, we were surprised to receive large fruit ice! I enjoyed watching the second half while having ice cream.
After the show, we took photos with the performers, which made for great memories! The return bus was easy to navigate, and it was truly a wonderful tour!
If you're curious about the Polynesian Cultural Center, I think you should definitely go at least once!
ハワイへは、10回以上行ってるのにポリネシア・カルチャー・センターへは行った事がありませんでした。夕方出発のトワイライトデラックスで参加！
集合場所には、時間通りに迎えに来て下さって出発してから到着まで学生のガイドさんが面白おかしく楽しくバスを盛り上げてくれて道中楽しかったです！
センターに到着してからは、ビュッフェ会場に入る前に少しの時間ですが園内で写撮影をしたり！ショップをまわったりして楽しみました★可愛いお土産も多く、ハワイアンドールを購入！とってもかわいいお人形でした。
ビュッフェ会場では、ローストビーフやシュリンプなどどれも美味しかったですし！飲み物がどれも美味しくっての飲みすぎてしまいました☆パイナップルジュースおすすめです。ぜひ飲んで見て下さい。
ショーの会場へ入ったら、座席が前から3列目の中央より！で最高☆☆☆物凄い迫力で、とっても感動しました！ぜひ、また観に行きたいですし・・・次回はお昼からセンターをまわってみたいと思いました。
ショーの休憩時には、大きなフルーツアイスがいただけてビックリ☆後半はアイスをいただきながら観ました。
ショーが終わった後は、出演者の方たちと写真撮影をして！良い思い出になりました☆
帰りのバスも、分かりやすくて・・・本当に素敵なツアーでした！
ポリネシア・カルチャー・センター☆気になっている方は、ぜひ1度は行かれてみた方がいいと思います★

While waiting at the hotel meeting point, a bus from the Polynesian Cultural Center arrived to pick us up. A student guide called out our names, and we boarded the bus to depart. Throughout the journey, the guide kept talking. Although they mentioned they were new to guiding, their enjoyable stories and enthusiasm made the hour pass quickly. Thank you very much, Roland.
Upon arrival, we received tickets after a restroom break. After that, we dispersed. We took some commemorative photos inside the center. Then, we headed to the buffet venue! A lavish buffet was laid out, with roast beef being sliced and seafood served, and they frequently came to check on our drinks. It was delicious.
When it was time, we moved to the show venue. We were amazed by the powerful performance from a very front row seat. It was a long show with breaks in between. We were also satisfied to enjoy some fruit ice. The show was a story, and although it wasn't in Japanese, it was easy to understand. It was very good. This has become a place I want to visit again when I come back to Hawaii. The transportation service was very helpful. Thank you!
集合場所のホテルで待っていると、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターのバスで迎えが来ました。学生のガイドさんが名前を呼んでくれてバスに乗り込み出発です。道中は、ずっと話してくれていました。ガイド歴が浅いと言ってましたが、とても楽しい話、そして一生懸命さが伝わってきて、1時間くらいの間楽しく過ごせました。ローランドさん、本当にありがとうございました。現地に到着すると、トイレ休憩の後チケットが配られました。その後解散です。私たちは、少しセンター内で記念撮影をしました。そしてビュッフェ会場へ！豪華なビュッフェが並んでいて、ローストビーフを切り分けてくれたり、シーフードをよそってくれたり、飲み物を何度も聞きにきてくれました。美味しかったです。時間になると、ショーの会場へ移動です。かなりま前の列でとても迫力のあるショーに驚きました。途中休憩もはさむ長いショーです。フルーツアイスも頂く事が出来て満足でした。ショーは物語になっていて、日本語ではありませんが理解出来ます。とても良かったです。またハワイを訪れた際には来たい場所になりました。送迎付なので助かりました。ありがとうございました。

I heard from a knowledgeable acquaintance about this show being enjoyable, so I decided to sign up. To conclude, I was very satisfied with the content.
Since I participated in the Green Room Monitor Tour, I was initially guided to the Green Room, but I was not used to the VIP treatment and felt confused. I think it was meant to be a special hospitality setting, but I felt it wasn't necessary to pay for it.
The backstage tour was interesting, but it didn't exceed my expectations. The show was as expected, featuring performances by Elvis, Michael, and Gaga, as well as hula and fire shows, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I wish the quality of Gaga's performance had been a bit higher.
Regarding the meal, the portion size was appropriate, and I thought the taste was good. However, the chocolate cake for dessert was too sweet, and I didn't see anyone around me able to finish it. I think it might not suit Japanese tastes.
It became a wonderful memory for my last night in Hawaii. I would like to visit again if I have the opportunity. Lastly, thank you to all the backup dancers for your hard work. Keep it up!
ハワイ通の知人から、このショーが楽しいと聞いて申し込みしました。
結論からいえば、大変満足できる内容でした。
グリーンルームモニターツアーへの参加ということで、最初グリーンルームに案内されましたが、VIP待遇に慣れておらず、わけがわからず、戸惑いました。特別なもてなしという設定だと思いますが、料金を払ってまで必要はないかなと思います。
舞台裏見学はおもしろかったのですが、期待した以上の内容はありませんでした。
ショーは期待どおりで、プレスリー、マイケル、ガガのショーだけでなく、フラ、ファイアーショーもあり、大変楽しめました。
ただ、カガのクォリティーが、もう少し高ければと思います。
食事に関しては 量も適量で、味も良かったと思います。
ただ、デザートのチョコレートケーキが甘すぎ、周りの人で食べきれている人はいませんでした。日本人の口には合わないと思います
ハワイ最終日の夜の良い思い出になりました。機会があればまたお邪魔したいと思っています。
最後にバックダンサーのみなさんたいへんお疲れさまでした。がんばってください。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to receive your valuable feedback and warm words for our staff. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。貴重なご意見、そしてスタッフへの暖かいお言葉、とても嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂きます様、スタッフ一同心よりお持ち申し上げます。

I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but during the ride, the stories shared by the student guide were very enjoyable and kept us entertained until we arrived. Before the show, we toured the grounds with the guide, had a meal, and then watched the show. The student who guided us around the grounds was very pleasant and made it a lot of fun. Of course, the show was also very impressive.
初めてポリネシア文化センターに行きました。ワイキキからは少し遠いのですが、送迎の車の中で、ガイドをしてくれた学生さんのお話がとても楽しく飽きることなく現地に到着。ショーの前に園内をガイドさんとともに見学後食事をしてショーを見るという流れでした。園内をガイドしてくれたのも学生さんでとても感じ良く楽しかったです。もちろんショーも見ごたえあるものでした。

This is my fourth cruise. The Mai Tai is delicious, and the view of the cityscape and Diamond Head from the sea is amazing; I never get tired of it, no matter how many times I go!
今回で４回目となりましたクルーズ。マイタイは美味しいし、海からの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は最高で、何度行っても飽きません！

It was a windy day, so the boat rocked quite a bit. I think it might be difficult for those who are prone to seasickness.
The group of Americans on board was very lively, creating a party atmosphere, which made it a lot of fun.
The sunset is very beautiful, and you can enjoy stunning views of the 360° blue ocean and the hotels in Waikiki from the sea.
The all-you-can-drink option at this price is a great deal. However, the photo taken before boarding was a bit pricey at $20 each. It's not necessary to buy this, though...
風が強い日だったので、舟はかなり揺れました。船酔いする方には難しいかと思います。
乗り合わせたアメリカ人の団体さんがかなりテンション高く、船上パーティー状態だったので、かなり楽しかったです。
夕陽はとてもきれいですし、360°青い海と言う光景や、海側から見たワイキキのホテルなど、美しい眺めが楽しめます。
飲み放題でこの価格はお得です。
ただ、乗船前に撮った写真が1枚20ドルだったのはちょっと割高感があります。これは買わなくても良いのですが…。

What an amazing time at Polynesian Cultural Center. Everyone was so nice. All the shows were top notch and very entertaining. The food at the luau was very good despite reading prior reviews, we thought it was terrific. The "Ha breath of life" show was very entertaining and had us on the edge of our seats. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the show. The dancers and story tellers are so talented. A definite MUST see on your trip to Oahu. Kudos to everyone at the center especially the dancers and entertainers
Upon arrival at the harbor the Malabo boat appeared a bit small for the size of the group. However once we boarded there was plenty of room to sit inside as well as the option to chill on deck or even sunbathe. The staff was very friendly and funny, and were very knowledgable about the islands. We were very fortunate to have been able to spot a few whales in the water during the cruise even though whale season had just ended. The catered food was served buffet style and included teriyaki chicken, pasta salad, beef and broccoli, tofu wraps, and delicious egg rolls! The free drink vouchers included alcoholic drinks and their mai tais were super good!! They give the option of purchasing a large souvenir cup for $8 which you may use your free drink ticket to refill rather than the small plastic cups. The overall cruise lasted for approximately 2 hours, with the sun setting right as we were headed back to the harbor. Overall a great experience, especially for the price. Definitely worth it!!
The organization of customer entry is inadequate. If we don't assign guides and make announcements in Japanese, attendees will wander around with their drinks, going back and forth multiple times before entering the venue. By the time they get in, they've already finished their drinks while waiting in line, making the drinks unnecessary.
As for the content of the performance, I would rate it four stars.
お客様の入場整理がだめです。案内人を配置する、日本語でアナウンスするなどしなければ会場に入るまでにドリンクを持ってあっちうろうろ、こっちうろうろと何回うろうろさせられたか、ドリンクは入場まで並んでいる時間で飲んでしまい、ドリンクは不要ですね。
本番の中身は、星４つですかね。
Thank you very much for attending our show.
We are very sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with our service.
We will translate your comments into English and forward them to the respective managers to strive for improvement in the future.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

It's my 3rd time with Star of Honolulu and they never fail to amaze me!
I was greeted with a beautiful smile by Kathleen at the ticket office. She was very nice, friendly, and it seems like she was enjoying her job. Before we boarded, the dancers are always very entertaining, a unique way to welcome their guests (yes, I've been to other dinner cruises and only Star of Honolulu has this great idea).
At the boat, here comes the cheerful and very energetic Freddie, who took us to our table. He didn't realize there were eight (8) of us but he was able to accommodate us right away having our own table by the window! He is the Assistant Floor Manager and I was really impressed with his friendliness and bright personality, he is funny too! The couples that we were with are visitors from Canada, celebrating their Silver Wedding Anniversary. I forgot to mention this special occasion when I made the booking so I told Freddie if there’s a way he can announce it after dinner. Knowing how busy they were, I never expected it to happen but I was extremely happy and grateful that he didn't forget. After the Polynesian entertainment, he immediately pulled my couple family towards the stage to make their dance. All the other couples, honeymooners, anniversary celebrants, followed. It was an honor!! Thank you so much Freddie for that, it was a memory of a lifetime for my family.
I would also like to give credit to Jay, who was our server that night, in fact all the crew members because they know how to take care of their guests, they're fast and attentive! The One Star package is not bad at all, I actually like this better than the Three Star believe it or not and IT'S ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!! Yummy! The steak was delicious also, so tender and juicy!
Will definitely cruise with Star of Honolu again and again! True "Aloha" spirit..good impression for those visiting the islands for the first time...greatly satisfied with the services they offer. Thumbs up SOH!!
I have gone many times with family and friends so they can enjoy as I did my first time.mmalways great day this time also, as Iwe had private tour guide which was amazing. Reason for one star down is that I paid for mini bus and was transported in large coach which less personal. I admit we had a great driver. Funny informable about trip and culture center. I did pay extra for mini so think I deserve refund for that upgrade.
I have done dinner cruise before in Honolulu many times. This time was the best ever experience. From time arrived at dock until returned to hotel was amazing . Everyone was friendly, food good, service amazing.
