Took my wife for her birthday a few days ago and really had a good time. Food was good, music and entertainment was good as well. Outstanding views!!!
I would recommend this cruise as an addition to your itinerary while on island.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Good show/food, Odd location
Activity Date: 2022/07/02 | Posted on: 2022/07/04

Pros:
Great show. Very entertaining for all ages. The fire dancing was amazing. Chief was funny and a joy to watch. The food was better than I expected with how many people they were feeding. They ran out of some of the items and for it being an all you can eat, they closed the lines down quickly after everyone had a serving. The food lines also moved quickly.

Cons:
The location. It is inside the wet n wild water park which definitely takes away from it being authentic. Some of the tables has shade but many didnt. They have you get there at 5 but thinks dont really start until closer to 545 so you are just sitting there roasting and burning. I expected more activities to do woth the family but there werent any to do at all except look at 2 booths of trinkets. You also have to use the wet b wild bathrooms and they were so so dirty and smelly.

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran
Catamaran drink cruise
Activity Date: 2022/07/01 | Posted on: 2022/07/03

Absolutely Outstanding! From start to finish this was a blast. Great crew, friendly and fun! Dave, Amos and Noah were superb. Drinks were good, ice cold Coronas too! We got to go way out to see Diamond Head and then leisurely back in and watched the sun set! I highly recommend and I’ll do it again next time in Honolulu!

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran
A wonderful experience!
Activity Date: 2022/06/09 | Posted on: 2022/07/02

Getting to see the scenery of Oahu from a boat was very beautiful, especially the sunset! I would definitely recommend this for those who just want to have a bit of fun, while enjoying the scenery. Ideally, it’s best if everyone was 21+ since you get free drinks from the moment you get on the boat. Something that I would like to advise is that it is quite windy once the boat departs from the shore so hold onto your hats or anything that may fly! Another thing is to get on/off the boat, you will have to step in the water momentarily so be prepared to take off your shoes and wear shoes that you’re okay getting a bit wet. Other than that, the staff who ran the whole thing was very awesome and nice!

This show was outstanding. It surpassed all of our expectations. The talent and skills were evident and the energy level was high throughout the night. On the needing improvement side of things, the lines to get drinks were unbelievably long and very slow. The food was average at best but they were feeding 1000 people.

Germaine's Luau - Fun Backyard Style Luau with Dinner, Show & Fire-Knife Dance
It was an amazing experience!
Activity Date: 2022/06/03 | Posted on: 2022/06/27

Loved the activity! The travel was not too long. Food was really good and we could go for seconds. I got the VIP package and it was definitely worth it because it gets you closer to the stage, two framed photos to take back home as well as 3 comp drinks and some additional swag. Overall it was a great experience, the show went on longer than expected but we were okay with it. Highly recommend!

Aloha Evelyn, First of all thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to write about your experience at our family luau! So happy to hear that you were pleased with your premier seating in our Plumeria package, and the extra amenities, or as you stated "additional swag". We're also glad that you enjoyed our delicious buffet, a variety of island favorites. We hope you will share your time at our luau with your family and friends back home, and hopefully you'll be able to come back to our beautiful island one day, and maybe even come back to visit us too!! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment
Elegant and memorable activity with breathtaking views and wonderful music/atmosphere
Activity Date: 2022/06/23 | Posted on: 2022/06/24

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.

They didn’t call you Chief for nothing

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.

「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合!有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内>
The show from the VIP seats is the best!
VIP席からのショーは最幸!
Activity Date: 2022/06/08 | Posted on: 2022/06/19

I had been curious about the Royal Hawaiian dinner show for a while✨ I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but everything exceeded my imagination and was incredibly delicious! The drinks included one complimentary drink in addition to the service, and there were non-alcoholic cocktails available, which were plentiful and tasted amazing✨ The showtime featured a lovely and talented female singer who was absolutely wonderful✨ I had been intrigued by the "Rock-a-Hula Show" from the photos, and when it started, I thought, "Ah! So that's what it is!" and it all made sense✨ Both Elvis and Michael were great at singing and dancing, and I was surprised at how well it matched with the Hawaiian theme! But the absolute highlight was the fire show✨ The performance was fantastic, and the performer looked just like my husband, which had us all laughing out loud! Personally, they were my number one look-alike! It was also a nice touch that we could take a commemorative photo together at the end, which felt very American! I definitely want to recommend this tour to my friends who are going to Hawaii✨

以前から気になっていたロイヤルハワイアンのディナーショー✨
ディナーはそこまで期待してませんでしたが、想像を越えてどれもこれもとっても美味しかったです!
ドリンクもサービス以外にワンドリンク付いていて、ノンアルコールカクテルもあり、量も多く味も凄く美味しかったです✨
ショータイムは、シンガーの女性が可愛くて上手でとっても素敵でした✨
「ロックアフラショー」のロックが、写真を観てても気になってましたが、始まってみて「あっ!そういうことか!」と納得✨
エルビスもマイケルも歌も踊りも上手で凄かったし、ハワイアンとマッチしてるのが驚きでした!
でも、1番最高だったのはファイヤーショー✨
演技が素晴らしいのは勿論ですが、この方が私の主人にそっくり瓜二つで大爆笑でした〜笑
個人的にNo.1のそっくりさんでした笑笑
最後に一緒に記念撮影が出来るのもアメリカらしくて良いサービスですね!
ハワイに行く友人達に是非勧めたいツアーです✨

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment
The Best Way to Experience Oahu Sunset
Activity Date: 2022/06/14 | Posted on: 2022/06/18

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.

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.

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment
Best memory of Honolulu
Activity Date: 2022/06/14 | Posted on: 2022/06/17

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.

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.
