I have participated in several cruises so far, and it was great. I didn't have high expectations for the food considering the price, but it was satisfying. There were various performances, and time flew by quickly. It was nice to hear Hawaiian songs live as well.
いままでにいくつかのクルーズに参加しましたが、良かったです。値段的に食事は期待していなかったのですが、満足出来るものでした。いろんなパフォーマンスもあり、時間のたつのが早く感じました。ハワイアンソングも生で聞く事が出来て良かったです。

Having made all the arrangements online, I was a bit nervous because this was my wife's 50th birthday celebration and we had 23 family members in attendance. The boat, food, service and ambiance were beyond my expectations! I would highly recommend this Sunset Dinner Cruise.
Great job to all those at Hawaiian Activities that had anything to do with helping me to put on such a great celebration for my wife and family.
Best regards!

Had a great show and good food.
I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!

I have to say that this dinner cruise will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only was the view beautiful, the agenda was entertaining, and I was actually proposed to on this cruise! Thank you for a spectacular evening that added to a wonderful occasion for us. The atmosphere could not have been better!

My fiancée took me to the 5-Star on our last evening in Hawaii and it was the perfect end to a wonderful vacation. From the moment the limo picked us up from the hotel to the time we were dropped off, the customer service was INCREDIBLE. I am so glad that he decided to book the 5-Star since the other decks looked pretty crowded and definitely not as intimate as the Super Nova Deck.
We got the Couple's Plan upgrade and we got window seating, a bottle of champagne and this great photo of us on this pretty leather cover. The maître d' and the waiters provided incredible service and the whole atmosphere was very upscale and refined.
The dinner was very scrumptious and I loved how there were many different dishes served throughout the evening. Also, I had been on other dinner cruises where they bombard you with annoyingly LOUD touristy Hawaiian music, but with the 5-Star, it was soothing jazz and I LOVED IT!
This is the PERFECT romantic dinner cruise!!!

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.

We went on the sunset dinner cruise in June 2007 and had a great time! All of the staff was wonderful and very friendly. The dinner was good- nice portions ( we did NOT go home hungry), and the music and show was a blast! The top deck was perfect for taking sunset pictures of Diamond Head. We did the couple's plan and recommend it to any couple deciding on this package. This ended up being a really fun night for the both of us and would highly recommend it to anyone going to Oahu!

It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.

We were not lucky enough to spot a whale on our first attempt, although we were graced with the company of a large pod of Spinner Dolphins swimming very close to the ship.
Two days later, having taken advantage of the free raincheck ticket, we saw four adult Humpback Whales and a calf. There are no words to adequately describe the experience - just go and do it. The Star of Honolulu is crewed by very knowledgeable staff and the onboard facilities and entertainmen are first-rate.

I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!

My friends and I have experienced the beautiful Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and it was the most memorable event ever. To begin the night was a graceful performance of the hula performers who greeted us aboard. We enjoyed songs of a live band and our favorite cocktails as we were seated to our table. The interior of the boat was elegantly decorated with special lighting and table settings, perfect for setting the mood of any occasion. As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course. Throughout the rest of our tour, we watched an entertaining act of Polynesian dancers of different cultures, like Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and Tongan performances done by professionals with great aloha sp

I took my kids on the Star of Honolulu Hawaiian Cultural Cruise and we had a great time together and we were greeted with the warmest of Aloha. We were served our drinks as the boat departed and then the different activities began. My kids and I enjoyed making flower leis as we watched the other visitors learn how to dance the Hula. On the other end, there were ukulele lessons going on and behind us was a session of coconut leaf weaving. The crew members gathered us all together and we all went out on the deck to feed all these fishes that were swimming in large clumps near the boat.
Later, my kids and I were assisted by a very helpful server with our food at the buffet line. After we ate lunch, we enjoyed the beautiful panoramic scenery from the top deck of the Star and laid back on the lounge chairs enjoying the warmth of the sun. It was a great day and my kids loved it.

It was great to see several whales. However, they were too far away. I had high expectations of being able to see the whole whale. Also, the boat, despite being large, swayed quite a bit. The food was delicious, but eating while swaying was a bit challenging... We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but quite a few people looked like they were feeling unwell...
クジラが何頭も見れたのはよかったです。が、遠すぎました。クジラの全体像を見れると思うと期待し過ぎです。あと、船は大きい割にはそれなりに揺れます。食事はおいしかったのですが、揺れながら食べるのはちょっと、、、私たちは酔い止めをのんでいたので平気でしたが、結構な数の人が具合悪そうでした。。。

The event I was most looking forward to this time was wonderful. The weather was great, and within 20-30 minutes of boarding, we encountered a mother and baby whale. I thought we might not be able to see them clearly due to regulations that prevent us from staying in one spot for more than 30 minutes and from getting within 100 meters of the whales. However, we were fortunate enough to witness the baby whale unexpectedly approaching the boat, allowing us to see them up close. After parting from this mother and baby, we encountered whales a few more times, but we quickly lost sight of them and couldn't observe them for as long as we did at first. I now think that meeting this mother and baby was a very lucky experience. I was worried about seasickness, but I was able to enjoy the cruise without any major turbulence. Additionally, they provide medication for those who are concerned. It became a very nice memory.
今回一番楽しみにしていたイベント、お天気も良く乗船20-30分で早くもクジラの親子に出会えました。法律によりクジラの居場所がわかっても30分以上一箇所に居続けられないこと、クジラから半径100m以内に近づけないこと等あって、そんなにはっきり見れないのかなと思っていましたが、子クジラが思わず船に近寄ってくる場面に遭遇し間近で観ることができました。この親子と別れてからも何度かクジラには遭遇しましたが、すぐに見失ってしまい最初ほど長い間観察できませんでした。親子との出会いはとても幸運なことだったのかもと今は思っています。船酔いを心配してましたが特に大揺れすることなくクルージングを楽しめました。また、心配な方には薬も配布してくださいます。とてもいい思い出になりました。

I participated with my mother on February 20. We opted out of the shuttle service, but it was about $10 by taxi from Waikiki. I was worried about whether we would be able to see anything, but we were able to see mother and baby whales. We didn't see the big jumps like you often see in photos, but we were able to see the cute little whale swimming behind its mother. It was completely unpredictable where we would see them from, but luckily we were able to see them from the side where we were having our meal. There were also lei-making, ukulele, and hula lessons included, and the staff were all very bright and friendly, which made it a lot of fun. We had a wonderful time and were very satisfied!!
2月20日に母とふたりで参加しました。
送迎なしにしましたが、タクシーでワイキキから10ドルぐらいでした。
見れるかどうか不安でしたが、私たちは親子クジラを見ることが出来ました。
よく写真で見る様な大ジャンプは見れませんでしたが、お母さんの後ろで泳ぐちびっこクジラのかわいい姿を見ることができました。
360度どこで見れるか全く予測不可能ですが、運よく私たちが食事をしていた側で見ることが出来ました。
レイメイキングやウクレレ、フラレッスンも付いていて、スタッフの方たちもとてもみんな明るくフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来て、大満足です!!

I went to Hawaii for my wedding and attended with both families. It was my first time in Hawaii, and just seeing it from the ocean was quite something. The sea is beautiful too! However, it was disappointing that I didn't see any whales at all... They had various events on the boat, like ukulele lessons, hula dancing, and lei-making classes, so it kept us entertained even if we couldn't see the whales! The food was also pretty good.
But personally, I struggled with seasickness... (laughs) I didn't realize I was so weak on boats...

I thought I would be able to enjoy whale watching elegantly on a luxury cruise, but I found it to be not particularly luxurious. The food was something that would suit Japanese tastes, but it was just "ordinary." As for the main attraction, the whales, I could only see a little bit of their backs far away, and I didn't get to see them splashing their tails like in the pictures. There were onboard activities like lei-making, hula classes, and ukulele classes, but since they all happened at the same time, I could only participate in one. Overall, it was disappointing. (I may have had overly high expectations...)
豪華客船で優雅にホエールウォッチングができると思い、申し込んだところ、特に豪華ではなかったかなぁと思います。食事は、日本人の口に合うものの、「普通」でした。メインのくじらは、背中が遠くの方でちょこっと見えたりするだけで、写真のように、尾ひれがザパーンとしているものは見えません。船内アクティビティは、レイ作り、フラ教室、ウクレレ教室とあるものの、3つ同時で行われるため、1つしかできません。総合的に、期待はずれでした。(期待しすぎた部分もありましたが・・・)

I went on January 13th. On the day I arrived in Hawaii, I signed up for this activity as a way to combat jet lag. I ended up rushing from the bus stop and arrived just in time!
Once on board, I was shown to my seat, and as I settled in, we set sail. The explanations were provided in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Even if I felt a bit tired and dazed sitting in my seat, they announced when whales were spotted, so I was able to see them. At first, they were quite far away, and we only saw spouts, which made me think it would be disappointing. However, the second sighting was a mother and calf, and we even got to see their tails. When you see that, you really feel like you've seen whales!
The meal was buffet style, but it seems you need to get your food at the beginning, as there are no additional servings later. The taste was okay, but I was able to enjoy some Hawaiian dishes as well.
On the way back, there were activities like lei making, hula, and ukulele lessons. I participated in hula and lei making, and I was surprised by how few participants there were.
There are various companies offering this plan, and I was initially concerned that this ALAN company, being cheaper, might have some drawbacks. However, that was not the case at all, which made me feel like I got a great deal!
1月13日に行ってきました。
ハワイ到着日に、時差ぼけ対策も兼ねたアクティビティーをと、こちらを申し込みました。集合時間ぎりぎりになってしまい、バス停から走りました!!
というのはさておき、乗船すると、席を案内され、そこを拠点に、船内観覧をしているうちに、出航。きちんと英語と日本語で説明してくれるので、よく分かりますし、ちょっと疲れてボーっとイスに座っていても、鯨が見えると、放送で教えてくれるので、見ることができます。始めはかなり遠くて、しかも潮吹きのみだったので、これでおしまいだと寂しいなぁと思っていたら、2頭目は親子で、しかも、テールも見れました。これが見れると鯨見た!って感じしますね。
食事は、バイキングスタイルですが、始めにとっておかないと、あとでの追加はないようです。まぁまぁなお味ですが、ハワイ料理もとれました。
帰路は、レイ作り、フラ、ウクレレレッスンのアクティビティーがあり、私は、フラとレイに参加しましたが、意外と参加者が少ないので驚きました。
様々な会社でこのプランありますし、その中で、このALANさんは格安だから、なにか差があったら??と思っていましたが、まったくそんなことなく、ということは、とってもお得な気分に浸れました。

I was moved by the sight of the boat racing through the sea breeze, filled with anticipation, but unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. Shortly after setting sail, we were fortunate enough to encounter a pod of dolphins. We received a re-boarding ticket, but our schedule was full, so we couldn't go again. It might have been a bit too early for this time of year. By now, it should definitely be possible to see whales. In our case, it was mid-December. The photo of the dolphins became our only memento.
海風を受けて走るさまに感動しながら期待に胸を弾ませて居りましたが残念ながら鯨に逢う事が出来ませんでした出航して程なく海豚の群れに出会えたのは幸いだったとおもいます。再乗船券を頂けたのですが予定が一杯でいくことが出来ませんでした。此時期まだ少し早かったのかもしれません。今頃はきっと鯨を見ることが可能でしょう。私達の場合12月中旬でした。海豚の写真が唯一の記念になりました。
