All Reviews for Shore Excursions from Honolulu Pier

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

Arizona ferry ride and memorial were just breathtaking

A great see when staying on Oahu, holds great American history

Tons of fun, food was just okay, definitely a 1 time do but worth it to try for your first Hawaii visit

Laughed out Loud!!! What a fun evening filled with lots of Hawaii memories :)

This tour gives you access to both Missouri and Arizona in just half a day, it is a reat tour to visit PH while in Waikiki.

Friendly and warm tour guide made our experience memorable

The views you get from the Cruise are amazing, however some of the staff came off rude when trying to guide passengers on what direction to go, our dinner had a lot of people getting seasick.

We had a good time good food and watching the fireworks was great I would do it again

Host is hilarious which I feel like makes this place stand out! My kids were laughin the night away.

Great food and great entertainment, just be weary on the boat ride if you get sea sick especially while eating.

Excellent evening and event

Food was great, entertainment was excellent and the entire night felt authentic and not just an overpriced tourist trap

Highly recommended

This is my second time on the 5-Star cruise. This time, I wanted to see the fireworks on Friday, so I made a reservation here.

I enjoyed the meal and Hawaiian-style cocktails. By the time I was seated, the appetizers were already prepared, and the lobster and salad were easy to eat.

If you want to relax and enjoy a calm atmosphere, I recommend the window-side seats on the 3 or 5-Star cruises.

In the past, I took a photo with the captain at the entrance, but this time it was taken at my seat.

2回目の5スター乗船です。
今回は金曜日の花火も見たくて、
こちらを予約しました。

お食事とハワイらしいカクテルを楽しみました。
お席に着いた時にはもう前菜が用意されており、
ロブスターやサラダは食べやすかったです。

落ち着いた雰囲気でゆっくり楽しむなら
窓側指定の3か5スターがおすすめです。

お写真は以前は入口で船長さんと一緒に撮影しましたが、今回はお席での撮影でした。

I will be simple and straight, please see my following points.

1. I booked sit down dinner, not buffet, overall food presentation look good, taste good too. Drinks are good too.
2. Service is just so so, the server for my table never gets me things I asked for, example, refill water, lemon, and my second glass of drink, I understand it's a busy task and have to serve all plates and take finishing plates away, and each server takes care of couple tables, but this should not be used as an excuse for service quality.
3. The show is good, but it's kind short, I wish we can see the full stage of Luau show, but the center stage is pretty small, so in order to accommodate every guest, they always have couple dancers on each side,

A very professional high-quality show filled with authentic elements of traditional cultures, like how they instantly made baskets out of coconut leaves. Particularly, the host was good, that he was able to play with fire while being a genuine comedian, making fun of lovers and kids in such a delightful way. True respect to the host, our chief that night!

The food, service, and entertainment were very good. The trip was organized well. Very clean facility and the experience was so enjoyable. We loved the sunset and fireworks while onboard. We'd take friends along on another cruise in the future. This is a great idea for special occasions.

The crab was really tasty. Overall, really liked this menu. There's also entertainment on-board. We really liked walking around the boat and the observation deck on the top floor of the boat was my favorite. There were lounge chairs on the top deck so it was the perfect place to catch sunset.

Tips:
-You can do menu substitutions (ex. vegan, fish instead of steak, etc.) if you request it 24-hours prior

Absolutely LOVED this dinner menu. We opted for the Friday Fireworks cruise with window seating. And it was worth it! I had done the other menus before (Buffet, Casual, & Deluxe) so I was looking forward to try out the fine dining menu.

The only not-so-great thing was the time it took for us to get any beverages. Our waiter passed us every time. We waited and waited - everyone else around us was being served. Finally, we flagged someone down but even they also took a long time so we had to flag a 2nd person.

The food was so delicious. Would definitely recommend the menu! This options also comes with premium drink tickets. We had mocktails which were delicious.

Fantastic show and we really enjoyed it even my kids. However pick up time should have been earlier as stated. Due to traffic we were just in time for the show and disappointed we couldn’t tried the activities provided. However it was a great experience and show. My kids enjoyed the show. Variety of foods from buffet was good however when you are the last table, whatever are left that’s it. Disappointed as the stir fry noodles was finished and when asked if there are more noodles, no answer was provided. Do hope next time you can cater for all the guest. Please advise all guest to put mosquito repellent as we were bitten by mosquitoes on our legs. Great and beautiful pictures taken by the staff and it’s digital, sent link to your phone and pictures can be downloaded for free. Thank you. Memories will treasure. Great performances and talented staff. Love the musics and dances. Highly recommended. Mahalo.

The sunset dinner cruise was quite crowded. Since I had reserved a 5-star experience, there wasn't much of a feeling of congestion when I arrived on the floor, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meal also progressed slowly, so many people went out to the deck to enjoy themselves along the way. While sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the sunset... I realized the sky was filled with stars. Fireworks erupted from Waikiki Beach, and the atmosphere on the boat reached its peak! After that, we returned to port while indulging in jazz. It turned out to be a wonderful day.

サンセットディナークルーズはかなりの混雑ぶり。5スターを予約したのでフロアに着くとそれほど混雑感は無く、ゆっくりと楽しめました。食事もかなりゆっくりと進むので、途中デッキに出て楽しんでいる方も大勢いました。サンセットを眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら…気付くと満天の星空。ワイキキビーチから花火が上がり船内の盛り上がりも最高潮！その後、JAZZに酔いしれながら帰港。素敵な1日になりました。

Great food, good entertainment, great view of the fireworks, and ended the cruise with a fun dance party!

We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.

My Father and Mother-in-law asked me to plan their vow renewal ceremony while we were in Honolulu. They wanted to renew their vows on the beach, but with my father having Parkinson's, I knew it would be a difficult trek through the sand. While searching, I came across the Star of Honolulu. They had everything we were looking for. My Father could have use of his mobility scooter, as the boat had an elevator. The dinner and entertainment were good, and the ceremony performed by the captain was intimate. The captain made sure that my father was comfortable and safe during the ceremony and paid special attention to both of my parents. It was a special time and one we won't forget.

Really eloquent set up, and a fun evening on vacation! Fun to be on the water compare to the nightly restaurants!

I am so glad I booked this luau for my family and me. We all had such a good
time. The show was very entertaining to watch. We got to learn a lot about Polynesian culture. They also involve the audience as well. As for the food, it was great as well. There was a wide selection of food and dessert. If you want to have a good time and eat great food, I would recommend this. You also have the option of adding transportation which was great for us.

Overall very nice experience.
Food was better than anticipated and show was funny and very informative.
It is well organized as well.
A bit far and remote however was worth it and would highly recommend.

This was best luau show we have been to. The Chief was so funny and made the show. We loved the girls dancing and the guys with the fire were outstanding. The food was ok

I enjoyed the special dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu for the last night of my trip to Hawaii, which was on Independence Day. The luxurious dinner and the entertaining show by the fun crew on board were excellent. The sunset was also very beautiful, and it was truly moving.

ハワイ旅行の最後の夜を独立記念日のスペシャルディナークルーズ　スターオブホノルル号で楽しみました。豪華な夕食と楽しいクルーの船上でのショーは
非常に良かったです。サンセットも大変良くて、感動しました。

Enjoyed the show more than anything. The food was okay. Noodles and bread were cold. Also the drink menu was limited. Enjoyed the bus ride there and even more on the way back as our bus driver dropo us of right in front of our hotel. The venue was also shared by a water park which in my opinion was a lot little tacky
