Enjoyed it. Would have liked it to be a little longer but we were able to get great photos and see some sea turtles. If you are already at the Kualoa Ranch, then I recommend to do this too! Boat ride was nice and views were amazing!!! Tour guides were very informative.

This is my second time participating, following last year. On the day of the event, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so being at the front of the boat felt like an attraction and was fun. I think it's a good idea to wear a swimsuit under your T-shirt since you'll get splashed with water. Of course, if you don't want to get wet, you can sit in the middle of the boat and be fine.

The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean was lovely! I will participate again when I go to Hawaii!

昨年に引き続き、二度目の参加です。
当日は風が強くて、波が高かったので、船の先端にいると、アトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。水しぶきを浴びるので、Tシャツの下に水着を 着ていると良いと思います。もちろん、濡れたくない人は、船の真ん中の椅子に座っていれば、大丈夫です。
海側から見たワイキキビーチは素敵でした！
またハワイに行ったら、参加します！

The Elvis impersonator was amazing. The entertainment was so much fun, and I had a great time even by myself. I enjoyed Hawaii with the aloha hula dance and fire dance.

エルビスのそっくりさん最高でした。エンターテイメントがとても楽しく1人でも楽しい時間を過ごせました。
アロハなフラダンス・ファィアーダンスでハワイを堪能しました。

The beach where you can see the fireworks is enough. It's cold, the boarding time is unnecessarily long, and the fireworks end in an instant. The food was nothing special either. That's how I felt. The only thing that remains is a sense of being overcharged. I won't ride again.

花火が見える海岸で充分です。
寒いし、乗船時間がムダに長いし、
花火は一瞬で終わるし。
料理も別に。という感じでした。
割高感だけが残りました。
二度と乗らない。

My wife and I were recently transferred from the mainland and celebrated our 41st Anniversary here in Honolulu without our family, So we thought a seven course meal sunset dinner meal cruise with Jazz entertainment would an ideal way to celebrate our weddding anniversary. Coincidentally we were sitted next to another couple from Chicago who just renewed their wedding vows after 41 years of marriage also and found a lot in common with them (same age of children and grandchildren and pathway in life), thus truly enjoyed each company - for they were traveling by themselves as well. The Captain, the crew were great (especially Foster our server), the service was fantastic, and the food was great. And of course the entertainment and the ambiance with sunset backdrop and Waikiki ocean shore scenery made it memorable.

Here's what you can expect from Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment / Three Star Steak and Lobster Dinner with Jazz entertainers.

Coast over the calm water of Waikiki aboard the most popular dinner cruise in Hawaii, where you
will be treated to live music, top dining and spectacular views.

Upon arrival at Aloha Tower Pier, you will be guided to the top deck, where the captain and crew are waiting to treat you to a Hawaiian Belini toast and seasonal appetizers. A sophisticated way to start off an elegant evening at sea.
7-Course Dinner

Served in the luxurious top-deck Super Nova room, this premium French-style dinner menu features only the best seasonal ingredients picked and prepared by expert chefs. Maine lobster and top-quality beef tenderloin are sure to be highlights of the meal.
Drink Service

As a Five Star dinner guest, the full drink menu is available for you to order from. Up to three super premium beverages are included with your meal.
Sunset

As the final moments of daylight fade over the Pacific horizon, the Super Nova room fills with warm light. Views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach

I participated in the evening of the day I arrived, and I felt like I was fully enjoying Hawaii from the very first day. The background music playing on the ship was also fantastic, creating a great atmosphere. I think it's unbeatable to enjoy unlimited Mai Tais while taking in the sunset at this price. I could join this every time I visit Hawaii. However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious...

到着した日の夕方に参加したのですが、初日からハワイと満喫した気分になれました。
船内に流れてるバックミュージックも最高で、ムード満点です。
このお値段で、マイタイ飲み放題でサンセットを満喫出来るのは申し分ないと思います。
ハワイに行くたびに参加してもいいくらいです。
ただし、船酔いされる方はご注意を。。。

The cruise lasted longer than expected, and I was able to enjoy the sunset and Oahu from various angles. The crew was very friendly. I would like to participate again.

予想よりクルーズ時間も長く、夕日やオアフ島をいろいろな角度から楽しむことができました。クルーの方もとてもフレンドリー。
また参加したいです。

We loved this cruise! It was so much fun, the drinks were great & kept coming. Definitely recommend it.

The children had a great time splashing in the water and squealing with joy. It might not be suitable for those who get seasick, but I recommend it for those who don't have any worries.

水しぶきを浴びながら、キャーキャー言って、子供達は凄く楽しんでくれました。
船酔いする方には向かないかもしれませんが、心配ない方にはオススメです。

We had to reschedule due to President Trump's visit to Oahu and disruption of island traffic. They were very accommodating and pleasant in assisting us. We may have missed the fire works but the views were awesome, the music pleasant, and the dinner varied/good! Mahalo to the Capt and crew!!

It is a must do in Waikiki, great crew and sail, we had a beautiful night on the ocean with beautiful fireworks from Hilton village.

You can enjoy a tribute show at Rock-a-Hula in Waikiki! While the Polynesian tours are more famous, it's located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it easy to plan if you're staying in Waikiki since you can walk there! This time, we attended the premium cocktail show, and we had a great time from our seats on the second floor. If you want to interact with the cast, I recommend the dining option on the first floor, where the cast comes down from the stage to give out gifts, take photos, and perform right in front of you!

ワイキキでモノマネショーが観れるロックアフラ！ポリネシアンツアーとかのが有名ですが、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階にありワイキキ宿泊なら徒歩で行けるので予定が組易いです！
今回はプレミアムカクテルショーでしたが、2階正面席で十分楽しめました。
キャストの方と触れ合いたいなら食事付きの1階席がいいと思います。キャストの方がステージから降りてきてプレゼントや写真、パフォーマンスを目の前でしてくれます！

As residents of Honolulu, we have a lot of houseguests, and we always offer to take them on the sunset & Friday fireworks dinner sail. It's a fun way to see Waikiki and watch the fireworks. The food and beverages are tasty and plentiful, and the crew is very friendly. We never tire of it!

The lobster was packed with meat and delicious!
The buffet menu was limited, and drinks were charged separately, which was disappointing.
However, if you're thinking of it as a light experience for a travel memory, it might be fine.

As for the dress code, many Westerners were in casual styles like T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
If you dress too formally, you'll definitely stand out.
It seemed just right to go with a collared shirt (polo shirts are fine), long pants (jeans are acceptable), and shoes (sneakers are okay).

**Message from the tour company:**

There was a free drink table with coffee, tea, and water, but there were no sodas??
There was no menu on the table, and they didn't come to take orders; it seemed like you had to go to the ordering table to get guidance.

I think I didn't approach the ordering table because I assumed there would be an extra charge from the start, but it was a bit unclear.

I hope for improvements!

ロブスターが身が詰まってておいしかった！
ビュッフェメニューは少ないし、ドリンク類有料だし食事内容は残念。
でも、「旅の記念に行ってみよう」くらいの軽い感覚ならいいのでは？

ドレスコードですが、欧米人はTシャツ、短パン、ビーサンのラフスタイル多数。
決め過ぎると間違いなく浮きます。
襟付きシャツ（ポロシャツ可）、長ズボン（ジーンズ可）、靴（スニーカー可）くらいで行くのが丁度良さそうでしたよ。


※※※催行会社さんからのメッセージを読んで※※※

コーヒー、紅茶、水はフリードリンクのテーブルにありましたが、コーラ類はありませんでしたけど？？
テーブルにメニューもなかったし、そもそもオーダーを取りにも来てくれなかったし、注文するテーブルまで行かないと案内されないシステムだったのでしょうかね。

最初から別料金だと思って、オーダーするテーブルに近づかなかったからわからなかったのだと思いますが、ちょっとわかりづらいですね。

改善を期待します！

It was bad timing with President Trump's visit, but everything proceeded on schedule without any issues. The night view and fireworks were great, but the buffet on the ship was somewhat disappointing in taste. Most of the main meal was on the sweeter side, which was disappointing; the only thing that was really good was the lobster. I was satisfied with the fruits and vegetables. I was able to see the fireworks from a good spot on the deck, so I was happy with that, although the duration was short.

トランプ大統領の来島とのバッドタイミングでしたが、無事に定刻どおり進みました。夜景と花火は、良かったのですが、船内のバイキングは、いまいちの味でした。メインミールの味付けが殆ど甘めで、ガッカリでした、唯一美味しかったのは、ロブスターくらいかな〜
フルーツと、野菜等は満足はしました。
花火は、デッキの良い場所から見れましたので、満足でした。ただ、時間は短かったです。

The buffet selection was lacking, but the cozy Hawaiian music and the fireworks in front of the Hilton added a bit of excitement.

ビュッフェ内容は物足りなかったが、小じんまりとしたハワイアンソングとヒルトン前の花火で少し盛り上がった。

Everything was great! The bartender, lifeguard, deck lady Alex (I think was her name) was awesome! Great drinks and music! Thanks for a fantastic time! We will be back

This is an optional tour that departs from the beach in front of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and returns in about 1.5 hours, making it easy to join. We enjoyed a great time on a catamaran yacht that can accommodate up to 30 people, taking in views of the hotel area and Diamond Head from offshore Waikiki. A camera is a must, as you'll be able to capture some truly Hawaiian photos. The captain is a cheerful woman who really enhances the atmosphere.

シェラトンワイキキホテル前のビーチを出発し1.5時間くらいで戻れて気軽に参加できるオプショナルツアーです。30人は乗れるカタマランヨットでワイキキ沖からホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺め楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。カメラは必携です、とてもハワイらしいいい写真が撮れますよ。またキャプテンは陽気な女性で雰囲気を盛り上げてくれます。

The weather was nice, and it was great to be able to drink alcohol. It would have been better if there were fewer people on the boat. There were too many, and it felt like we were going to bump into each other.

天気も良くて、お酒も飲めて良かったです。
もう少し船の中の人数が少ないと良かった。
多すぎて、ぶつかりそうでした。

Due to rain that evening, there was no sunset. But three of us enjoyed the dinner and live entertainment. Fortunately, we were seated at a table right in front. Our waiter, Ethan was superb! He was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Dinner was delicious! Would recommend this event.

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a truly beautiful sunset. Surrounded by a fun captain and mostly non-Japanese guests, I had a wonderful time even though I don't understand much English. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and no one got wet at all. We stepped into the sea a few steps to board the boat, and then we were barefoot inside the boat the whole time. You can see a different view of Diamond Head too! I definitely want to join again if I have the chance!

お天気にも恵まれ、本当にきれいなサンセットを見ることができました。楽しい船長さんと、ほとんど日本人以外のお客さんに囲まれて、英語があまり分からなくてもとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。船は思ったより揺れず、全員全く濡れませんでした。海に数歩入って階段を登って乗船、その後ずっと船内裸足です。ダイヤモンドヘッドもいつもと違う顔が見られますよ～。機会があればぜひまた参加したいです！

Great time with a great crew! Yummy cocktails, too!

I’ve done alot of catamaran ridees in waikiki as a local. This one was good, but not the best. The boat is good, the crew is great! There are many catamarans to choose from and this one would be my #2 choice. They only do either a sunset or a firework cruise, but not both, however it’s about half the price of my #1. #1 would be the Molikini friday night sunset/firework/dinner catamaran. This boat is good for the value and you will definitely enjoy it.

When you think of Hawaii, you think of cruising, so I decided to participate. The boat was about the size of a cross between a cruiser and a yacht; however, if you are prone to seasickness, you should take motion sickness medication in advance, as there can be enough rocking to make you feel sick. I had a coupon for one free drink, but when I upgraded to a larger size, I was charged normally. All the staff were locals, so if you don't speak English, it can be difficult to understand these things. The food was light snacks, so that was a bit of a letdown. On the day of the cruise, there was also a rainbow, and the weather was nice, so overall, I was fairly satisfied.

ハワイといえばクルージングと思い、参加しました。
クルーザとヨットの中間くらいの大きさの船でした、ただし船酔いがひどい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおかないと、船酔いするくらいの揺れはあります。
ドリンク1杯無料のクーポンを持っていたのにサイズを大きくしたら、普通にお金をとられました。スタッフは全員現地の人なので、英語が話せないとこの辺がよくわからないです。料理は軽食だったのでそこです。当日は虹もでていて、天気も良かったので総合的にはそれなりに満足できました。

It was my first catamaran tour, and there were over 40 people on the tour, but there were no other Japanese participants. Since all the instructions were in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a great time. The Mai Tai was very delicious, and since it was all-you-can-drink, I also had some wine. The next day it rained, so I was glad it was a sunny day!

初めてのカタマランツアー、40名を越えるツアーでしたが日本人もいなく、注意事項は全て英語の為わからないこと多かったですが特に困ることはなく、楽しくすごせました。マイタイもとてもおいしく飲み放題のためワインも頂きました。翌日は雨のため晴れた日で良かったです‼️

Very impresssed with the cat, cruise and the staff.

The meal was average at the buffet, but the Hawaiian dancer staff livened things up with singing and dancing. The Rock-a-Hula show featured a performer who looked just like Presley, and the singing and dancing were great. As a fan service, they came up to the second floor and shook hands with each person.

食事はビュッヘで月並みだったが、ハワイアンダンサーのスタッフが歌ったり、踊ったりして盛り上げてくれた。ロック・ア・フラショーはプレスリーがそっくりで歌とダンスが良かった。ファン・サービスで２階席まで上がって来て、一人づつ握手してくれた。

What an awesome way to see the Friday Fireworks. The crew on board were great fun.
We thought the drinks package was great value & would highly recommend it.

Would highly recommend!! We enjoyed this so so much! Very professional and polite crew!!

Since it was a catamaran, I didn't have to worry about seasickness and enjoyed plenty of free drinks like Mai Tais and champagne. I wish I had brought some snacks... The scenery is wonderful. It's romantic. As we got closer to Diamond Head, there was a lot of noise with dancing and singing to the music. It was about an hour, but it was fun. We took commemorative photos before boarding and bought them on the way back.

カタマランなので、船酔いの心配もなくフリードリンクのマイタイやシャンパンを沢山頂きました。おつまみ持参すれば良かったかな・・・
景色が素晴らしいです。
ロマンチックです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近づくと音楽に合わせてダンスしたり歌ったりと大騒ぎでした。
約１時間でしたが楽しかったです
記念写真を乗船前にとってもらい、帰りに買いました。
