All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

The tour guide and bus drivers were very nice.

It was a very good and unique experience for both of us. The only thing that I think you should include in your website or ads is to tell them that it can be draining since it is a whole day affair. We were both exhausted due to long walks and the humid weather. Otherwise, very good!

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.

The employees are all very nice and a lot of fun, the food was delicious, and the shows were great.

Our guide was very informative. We loved learning more about each culture and participating in the activities. The food at the luau was fantastic and the entertainment was wonderful. The Horizons show was incredible.

I truly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to all who come to Hawaii. Thank you so much for this experience.

I thought the center was enjoyable for the whole family. I definitely recommend the all day "Ambassador" package. It was great having a tour guide to take us to each village to ensure we didn't miss anything and arrived just in time to have perfect seating without having to wait. Our guide (Darrin from New Zealand) took our kids to do activities while my husband and I watched several pre-shows in peace and than he brought the kids to see the main show in each village. The dancing parade on canoes is a must see along with the Samoa village. My guide recommended the Prime Rib buffet dinner instead of the Luau Buffet. He said the food was much better, it was more quiet to have a break, and the show was just a mini pre-show to the one we were going to see at 7:30. I am definitely glad we did that and have to agree with him. The night show was spectacular and if you get the Ambassador package you get preferred sitting and ice cream during the show. Don't waste your money on the Super Ambass

I booked the lunch ride for myself and Daughter in June of 2007. I have to commend the Gunstock Ranch, we had such a wonderful time with our 2 tour guides and saw the beautiful sights of Oahu from the bottom to the top. Were we found seashells on the very top of the mountain and mongoose along the path to get there. The Lunch and the company the tour forward will last us forever until we can get back again to do it all over, I would not hesitate to recommend this extremely enjoyable activity. If you ever need a recommendation please let me know.

Made reservations for the Twilight "Ambassador" package and the only difference I noticed between the "Ambassador" and the "Alii" package was probably just the seating assignment at the show, souveniers, and free ice cream desert during the shows intermission. Had a good time but I think the "Alii" package would have been a much better value considering there wasn't much of a difference between the two packages and I think I would have seen a much better overall view of the show. I wasn't able to see much on the other side of the stage because I was sitting to close to it.

Our family loved the whole day, the food
was as good as any cruise ship we have
been on. This is a must on our next
visit to Ohau.

I loved the polynesian cultural center. The luau, night show and the overall cultural center were amazing. It was great fun, but I would recommend the whole day activity because you need that much time to visit all the different islands and their shows at the center. This was my second time visiting the center and I would recommend it to anybody.

A great overview of Polynesia. I enjoyed my day. I suggest a guided tour to see everything. Unfortunately, no cocktails are available.

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!

Thoroughly enjoy our whole day at the Center. The activities were great and the luau dinner was wonderful. Everyone we met there was extremely courteous, helpful, informative, and friendly! Would highly recommend everyone partake of this adventure!

A unique experience definitely worth a vist while in Oahu.

twelve hours of fun and very educational.
delicious lunch and luau dinner.
great show for the whole family.
got our money's worth.
highly recommended for everybody.

My husband and I had a great time. We only went for half of the day and wish we would have gone the whole day. Our favorite was the Samoa presentation.

my husband and i enjoyed our time at the polynesian cultural center, but next time i think we will do the all day package. there is just so much to see that it is hard to cram everything in just a few hours. the show was absolutely amazing and the food at the luau was very delicious!

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.

THIS WAS ONE THE BEST TIMES I HAD WHEN I WAS IN HAWAII. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THE SUNSET WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS WORRIED THAT THE BOAT WOULD BE ROCKY BUT IT WAS SMOOTH SAILING AND THE UPPER DECK IS A GREAT PLACE TO SIT BACK AND RELAX WITH YOUR HUNNY!

This was probably one the best hi-lights of our trip.It was a very pleasant surprise,as we had no idea what to expect.The only thing wrong was that the sun didn't co-operate for us .But all in all it was a very pleasant experience.I will do this again if we ever make it back there.

Thanks,
Bill Claypool

a friend of mine who went to hawaii last spring break told me about the pacific star and i am so glad that she did. the food is sooooo good and it is awesome being in the private lounge since i went around the boat and saw the other decks and they were totally crowded. we had our own private restroom and even a nice little deck area too. and only $5 for martinis! can't go wrong!

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

SIMPLY FANTABULOUS!!!!! HOPING TO RETURN SOON!!!!!!

Date of participation: March 19, 2007 (Monday). We participated as a couple. Gunstock Ranch is about an hour and a half by car from Waikiki, located beyond the Polynesian Cultural Center. The area is lush and green, quite different from the rocky terrain of the Big Island, making it suitable for horseback riding. We gathered at 8:30 in the morning. It was just the two of us participating. After the rain, the greenery and rainbow were beautiful. We signed some documents, learned the basics of horseback riding, and mounted our horses. We proceeded with three horses into the greenery. Along the way, the female guide asked, "RUN?" and when I answered "YES," we started to gallop. The horse I rode was well-trained and very responsive. Since it was a horse that wanted to run, I hardly had to kick it at all. We mostly galloped except for the climbs and descents to the hill and some slippery red dirt areas. The trees on both sides formed an arch, and we moved through it at a comfortable speed. The guide picked guava fruit for us, which was sour and delicious. When we reached the top of the hill, we had a 360-degree view. We could see the ocean as well. The wind felt nice, and the view was amazing. The hour flew by. It was a lot of fun.
P.S. To Alan1: Please create a farm stay tour at this ranch.

参加日: 2007/03/19(月) 夫婦２人で参加しました。
ガンストック牧場はワイキキから車で約１時間半、ポリネシアカルチュアルセンターの先にあります。緑が一面に広がっていて、ハワイ島のゴツゴツした地面とは違い、乗馬に適していました。朝、８時半に集合。参加は私たち夫婦２人のみ。雨上がりで緑と虹がとてもきれいです。書類にサインをし、乗馬の基本を教えてもらい騎乗。緑の中へ３頭で進んでいきます。途中、女性のガイドさんから「ＲＵＮ？」と言われたので「ＹＥＳ」と答えると駆け足開始。乗った馬は良く調教されていてとてもよく言うことを聞きます。走りたがりの馬だったのでほとんど蹴らずにすみました。丘までの上り下りや、赤土むき出しで滑りやすい場所以外はほとんど駆け足です。両側の木がアーチになっていて、その下を心地よいスピードで進みます。ガイドさんがグァバの実を採ってくれます。すっぱくておいしい。丘のてっぺんに上ると、そこからは３６０度の視界が開けます。海も見えます。風も気持ちよく最高の眺めです。あっという間の１時間でした。とても楽しかったです。
追伸：Alan1ちゃんへ　この牧場のファームスティツアーをぜひ作ってください。

If you don't like sharing a table, it's better to choose this option. There are seats by the sea, and they are divided according to the number of people. One person has their back to the sea, so it can be a bit uncomfortable to look at the ocean, but it was fine since we enjoyed delicious food together. The champagne is one bottle for two people, and there was quite a lot, more than we could finish. They also took photos for us, which made for a great memory.

相席がイヤならこのオプションを付けたほうが良いですよ。海側に席があって人数に応じて席が区分けされています。一人は海に背を向けているので海を眺める時はちょっとツライ姿勢になるけど２人で美味しい料理をいただけたから別に良いけど。シャンパンは２人で一本なんですが結構量が沢山で飲みきれないほどでした。写真もとってもらって良い記念になりました。

We added a couple's plan to the three-star course. It wasn't that I really disliked sharing a table, but having our own dishes on our own table definitely makes for a more relaxing dining experience. Although the neighboring seats aren't very far away, there are other people nearby, but it doesn't bother me at all. The price is also quite reasonable, and it includes a commemorative photo, so I recommend opting for this plan.

３スターのコースにカップルプランをつけました。
相席がすごいやだったわけではないですが、気分的に自分達のテーブルには自分達の料理がのっていて、
食事ができるのは、やっぱり落ち着きます。隣の席とすごく離れてるわけではないので、
すぐ近くにに他の人がいるけれど、別に気にはなりません。
料金自体も安くて、記念の写真もついてくるので、このプランをつけることをおすすめします。
