All Reviews for Cruise Ship Shore Excursions

We had a wonderful time, very entertaining! Would recommend to others.

this was a great surprise for my mum....getting to see the whales out in the ocean was such a surprise. the breakfast buffet was amazing and the scrambled eggs are amazing. we saw dolphins as well...and the cruise was so smooth. this will definitely be a memory that myself as well as my mum and kids will never forget

It was exactly as I imagined seeing the whales. I was able to see them spouting water, diving with their backs showing, and their tails. The boat was anchored at the whale watching point, so the kids got a bit bored along the way. Since it was just a little extra to add breakfast when ordering a juice, I thought it might be nice to book the breakfast plan next time.

想像通りのクジラの見え方でした。潮を吹いているところ（潮のみ）、背中から潜って尾ひれが見えるところ、を見られました。クジラのいるポイントで船が泊まっているので、子供は途中で飽きてしまいました。ｼﾞｭｰｽ単品代金にちょっと追加するだけで朝食付きとなったので、次回は朝食付きプランで申し込んでもいいかなと思いました。

We participated as a couple. It was a very large ship, and we boarded with many foreign guests. For breakfast, soy sauce was provided, which made us feel that consideration was given to Japanese guests. During our last visit to Hawaii, I heard that whales can be seen in January, so I signed up and was able to see live whales. I was moved by the large tail of the mother whale and the small tail of the baby whale. Next time, I plan to bring binoculars to enjoy the experience even more!

夫婦で参加しました。とても大きな船で、多くの外人客とともに乗船しました。朝食には醤油が用意され、日本人に配慮されていることを感じました。前回ハワイ訪問時、1月はクジラが見れるとのことで参加を申しみ、なまクジラを拝見出来ました。親子クジラの大きな尻尾と小さな尻尾には感動する覚えました。次回はオペラグラスを用意して、見学したいと思います！

We participated as a family of three. The food was delicious, and the show and the group dance were very enjoyable, but... the seats were just too cramped. With someone sitting next to you, it was hard to get up, and when the food and drinks were brought out, there wasn't enough space on the table, so we had to eat quickly, which felt a bit uncomfortable. I wish there was a little more room between the seats in front, behind, and on the sides.

家族3人で参加しました。
お料理もおいしく、ショーや全員参加のダンスもとても楽しかったのですが・・
とにかく席が狭すぎて、隣の人がいると席も立てず、お料理やドリンクが運ばれてくるのですがテーブルにのらないので急いで食べたりと少々窮屈でした。
もう少し、前後左右、席に余裕があるといいなぁと思いました。

I was able to see whales. Although I couldn't see the whole whale, as they were mostly spouting water or just showing their tails, I was glad to see them multiple times during the cruise. The food was also delicious. There were hardly any Japanese passengers, and the detailed explanations were only in English, but there were Japanese menus and announcements, so it was manageable.

くじら見えました。潮噴いてたり尻尾だけだったりと、なかなか全体は見えませんでしたがクルーズ中何度も見ることができて良かったです。
ご飯もおいしかったです。
乗客にも日本人はほとんどいなくて、細かい説明は英語のみでしたが、日本語メニューやアナウンスもあったので、それなりに大丈夫でした。

The Chief's Luau was fun and culture fulfilled. This was our second Luau and found this better than the Paradise Cove Luau as there was alot more teachings of the Polynesia culture. It was wonderful to hear about the different Polynesian beleifs, markings dancers and so much more. The Chief was a great host and his passion for his culture was lovely. A wonderful night.

At first, I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything, but I encountered a family of whales and was able to see them spouting multiple times while staying alongside them. I didn't get too seasick and had a great time. A tip for not missing the whales is to stay close to the naturalist! The view of the buildings in Honolulu from the sea is also very beautiful. ☻

最初は見られるかどうか不安でしたが、ファミリーに遭遇できて、ずっと並走して、なんども潮吹など見ることができました。
船酔いもあまりせず、楽しめました。
ホエールを逃さず見るコツは、ナチュラリストの近くにいる事！
海側からみるホノルルのビルもとっても綺麗です☻

I was looking forward to seeing whales, but I couldn't spot any. However, I did discover three mantas! I enjoyed a lovely morning cruise.

クジラ楽しみに行きましたが見れませんでした。しかし、マンタ三匹を発見！そして、朝の気持ち良いクルーズ、楽しめました。

We had a fantastic time and a great meal. The entertainment was also great. I would recommend this to anyone - couples or famalies.

It was an experience that you can't have in Japan.
The entertainment-filled service from all the staff was wonderful.
Although it was a bit more expensive due to the weak yen, I was satisfied with the cost performance.

日本では味わえない体験でした。
スタッフ全員のエンタ－ティメントあふれる接客が素晴らしかったです。
円安で少し高くなってしまいましたが、コスパも満足です。

Well worth the money. I love the food. Everybody was very courtious and helped every way they could. All the staff was so helpful to us. My fiance is in wheelchair and they helped in every possible way. We got to have captain help us up to top floor to see fireworks. What an experience I couldn't tell u anything bad about this. They let u smoke on top of ship which is a good nerve helper. I would totally do it again

It was well beyond my expectations food great views great, fireworks great, hawaiian dancing great. Well worth the money. Staff very friendly

I'd like to sorry upfront for my candid feedbacks.

My main objective is to watch the whale; however, there was no whale to watch. The captain tried to raise the expectation of tour participants with somehow false alert such as "01 mile away from whales"... but at the end, no one could sense any whale signals. Even though, the Cruise offered other time to watch the whale, for foreign travellers like me, this is not a genuine gesture - it will be difficult for us to spend another trip to Hawaii for another Whale Watch Cruise. Thus, I suggest it should say that "the Cruise will go around Honolulu in an attempt to find whale, but chance to see whale depends on different factors. If you cannot see whale, take it easy and enjoy the sightseeing..." or something like that.

Lunch will be another area for improvement as the listed dishes are far away from similar one in other normal restaurants.

Other than the above, the trip can be a nice memory when participants can enjoy the beautiful landscape of Honolulu from the Ocean.

My first luau and it was such fun great food and entertainment I learnt how to do the hula and even got up on stage the chief is so funny too

This year, at my father's request after he experienced illness and surgery, we went on a trip to Hawaii. Since my parents usually don't express gratitude to each other, I surprised them by booking this option.

The captain's ceremony was entirely in English, so I did my best to translate the important points with my limited English skills, and they seemed to understand somewhat. Afterward, I was worried when my father fell silent, but suddenly he started to cry and expressed his gratitude.

The food was even better than expected, and the show was plentiful, keeping us entertained beyond the scheduled time. There was even a show at the end that brought everyone on the ship together, and I was more satisfied than I had imagined.

Thank you very much. Now that I am back home, I would like to give my parents a letter with the captain's vow along with photos from the vow renewal ceremony. I would be even happier if you could provide that information.

今年病気と手術を経験した父の希望もあり、ハワイ旅行へ行きました。
普段はなかなか感謝を伝え合わない両親なので、サプライズでこのオプションを申込みました。
キャプテンのセレモニーは全文英語のため、私の拙すぎる英語力で大事なポイントはなんとか和訳して伝え、何となく理解はしてくれました。その後、父は黙りこんでしまったため不安でしたが、突然涙を流して感謝してくれました。
お料理も予想以上においしく、ショーもたっぷり、時間を越えてまで楽しませてくれました。
最後は船内が一体となるようなショーもあり、想像以上に満足でした。
ありがとうございました。
帰国した今、改めてバウリニューアル時の写真と共に、キャプテンの誓いの言葉を両親に手紙で渡したいのですが、お教えいただくことができれば、なお嬉しいです。

The Five Star Cruise was a wonderful way to watch the Friday fireworks. The staff were great and the food was superb. It was well worth opting for the 5 star option. A must when you are on holiday, especially on the extended Friday cruise.

We are both very experienced travellers who have attended many many tours all over the world, but in my opinion, this tour was the best! Both Amy and Zook were tremendious tour guides who really knew their stuff. It was great having the jeep as it was only my partner and I on the tour. We visited iconic filming locations all over the island. Then we met 'Duke' who was the most genuine person I have probably ever met. It was an honor to meet him and a real highlight of the tour. Then... Amy took us to where they were filming that day!!! What an experience! We got to stand and watch them film for nearly 45 mins! Amy went above and beyond to give us the best Hawaii Five O experience and overall the tour was just amazing!! Cant wait to come back again and go on the Super Fan tour!

Great time! A must do if you visit Hawaii. Chief Cielu is hilarious and the dancers are amazing!

This tour was absolutely fantastic. My wife and I are die-hard Hawaii 5-0 fans and had so much fun on this tour. Our tour guide Amy was extremely knowledgeable of the island and the show itself. One of the main checkpoints that we wanted to see was McGarrett's house and right off the bat she got us over there to see the picture perfect house that is so often shown on TV. In addition to that we got to tour the inside of the house and meet the wonderful owners who allowed us in and were extremely welcoming.
Among the other highlights of the tour that we enjoyed were seeing Kona and Chin Ho's house, and multiple scene locations from across the first couple seasons. Although we were unable to meet any of the characters Amy tried her hardest to get us to them and the extra effort was greatly appreciated.
Besides the locations that we saw, Amy's knowledge of the show itself gave us further insight to the characters and how the show operates on a day to day basis.
We would recommend this tour to anyone who loves the show and wants to get a better understanding of how the show and the island are connected.

This tour is a must if you are a true Hawaii Five-O fan! Our tour guide Amy was amazing to say the least. She had 1st hand information on the production and actors and actresses along with film locations. I think that's what made the tour so special that we had a guide who knew so much about the show...not just a person who researched the show online or watched it on tv and can drive you around to various locations but someone who can tell you about the show as someone who interacts with the people on the show and the producers. She was just so sweet with my niece who is 8 years old, my sister who is 22, and my husband. Before taking the tour I did some research to see where we might go and #1 on my list was Steve McGarrett's house. Who doesn't love seeing it come up in the show with the beach in front and who doesn't want to sit in those Adirondack type chairs and just sip a glass of wine after a hard day at work. Well...we went to McGarrett's house and met the real home owners who were just the sweetest people in the world. They welcomed us in and treated us just like we were family. In fact they even said "a hui hou" as we left..until we meet again. At each site we watched a film clip of a scene at that location to remind us of what happened there if we didn't immediately realize it. We also saw Chin Ho Kelly's house and Kono's house. Along with that was a drive by of Dano's ex-wife and daughters house...which is currently up for rent. Any takers? We visited McGarrett's father's cemetery site where he met Ellie recently. Of course I had to mention how much I love Michelle Borth and want her and McGarrett to end up together. She's just so kick butt but loving at the same time. We are already planning another trip out in September and can't wait to do the Sunset on the Beach!! Definitely take this tour as a fan. It will not disappoint. PS next time I want McGarrett to drive our Jeep! :)

I had been many dinner cruises in Chicago, Portland and New Orleans, But this was the best one !!! so far.

First time & confused couples must try this !!

Had a great day especially enjoyed the visit to Steve Mcgarrett's house thanks again to the owners for their hospitality.

This was our first luau and we weren't disappointed.
The food was so-so.... but the entertainment was first class.
The chief was funny and the dancers were excellent

Thank you for the other day. The vow renewal created wonderful memories. Since I participated in a dress, I was celebrated by everyone, danced, and it truly was a fantastic day. The service on the ship was attentive, and the food was delicious. I thought I would visit again for another anniversary.

先日はありがとうございました。
バウリニューアルでは 素敵な思い出になりました。ドレスで参加させて頂いたので みなさんに祝福され ダンスをしたり ほんとに素敵な１日でした。船の中のサービスも行き届いており お料理も美味しかったです。
記念日の区切りの時には再度訪れようと思いました。

The show was very good. The meal was OK, with the crab legs being excellent, while the steak left something to be desired. The dance afterwards was a genuine "hoot"!!!

I visited Hawaii from Japan for my wedding party.
We planned to have a bachelor and bachelorette party before the wedding and booked Private Limo with VELTRA for ride to club.
Everyone was so excited when Hummer Limo arrived at Hotel to pick us up. We requested to drive around Waikiki downtown and we started to party inside the car.Driver was very nice and polite. He easily responded our request (drop off/pick up some friends during drive)and we totally enjoyed limo riding with party songs and drinks.
It was nice that we could bring in our own drinks, snacks and music. We ended up clubbing after limo ride and everything was smooth and perfect. We had a blast.I really recommend to ride a Hummer Limo if you really want to make a great memories!

We went on a trip to Hawaii with my parents, wife, and daughter, a total of six people. There were many unclear parts due to everything being in English, but we were very satisfied with the dance performance.

両親、妻、娘、計６人でのハワイ旅行、すべて英語での対応で意味不明なところはたくさんありましたが、ダンスパフォーマンスに大満足でした。

Excellent service I have no hesitation in recommending Veltra. Courtesy, helpful beautifully presented drivers, clean and roomy cars. Very reasonably priced.

Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.
