Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Our Hawaii Tradition

Reviewed by: The Chief rules over all of the other Luau's.

Great time Luau with all the fun, food, and Entertainment you need. The price is a little high, but well worth it for a great evening. Not out of line with other high end complete evenings with food, and entertainment like dinner and shows, or a concert, or a sporting event.

The lobster for dinner was thick and tasted just like Japanese crab, it was truly delicious! The final jazz live performance was also moving. It was a great experience to overlook Waikiki and see the fireworks, I'm glad I participated!

目の前の食事に集中するとそれほどでもないのですが、波の揺れを気にすると酔いそうになります。気になる方は酔い止めがあるといいと思います。

Thank you very much for coming aboard our Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the five-star dining and entertainment. It was great that you were able to see the fireworks at Hilton on Friday as well. Thank you for the wonderful review and the photo of the lobster. We look forward to your next visit.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

It should have been better

Reviewed by: Joe

Transportation and vessel operation were good. Food service and food need improvement. Service was very slow. Food was not served even remotely hot. Our steaks were so rare as to be inedible. A different dessert should be offered as the the one being served has very little taste. The food was a real disappointment.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Amazing Cruise with Gorgeous Views of Waikiki

Reviewed by: Trisha L

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

Not the best best experience !

Reviewed by: Worse dinner cruise ever!

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!
