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

Great experience

Reviewed by: Dave

Overall experience was fantastic. Felt like a condensed cruise trip. Need to make sure you don't eat the trip away because they keep bringing food and before you know it you are back to the dock. Good entertainment staff.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Very Nice Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: James & Shay

We were on our honeymoon and had a really great time. I would give it 4.5 stars but that wasn't an option so they got 5 because it was better than 4. Food was good and entertainment was excellent. Pictures and drinks were pricey but I guess that's expected.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Great time!

Reviewed by: Greg Raymer

I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.

Reviewed by: Kyle

This was a great tour! Amy was a great host and was a wealth of information. It was great to go inside 'McGarrett's' house and see different locations around Honolulu where they shoot the series. The next day (not on the tour) they were filming next to our Hotel and we met Scott Caan!

My expectations were too high. 期待が大きすぎました。

Reviewed by: makey

I thought I would be able to see whales up close, so I imagined a dynamic experience. However, due to conservation measures, there was quite a distance, which was different from what I expected. Still, the weather was nice, and I enjoyed a morning meal, and it was fun to stick to the deck and watch the surface of the sea. We were also able to take photos with Diamond Head in the background. I thought it was great for those with children, as it wasn't dangerous at all. As someone who enjoys swimming with dolphins and diving, this is our impression. It wasn't that we couldn't see them at all, and it was nice to encounter a mother and calf whale. However, we could only see their backs and fins popping up in the distance.

クジラを間近で見れると思っていたので、ダイナミックな感じを想像していました。
でも、保護の観点からかなりの距離があって、思っていたものとは違いました。
でも、お天気も良くて、モーニングも頂けましたし、甲板にへばりついて海面を見ているのも楽しかったですよ。
ダイアモンドヘッドバックに撮影も出来ましたしね。
お子様をお連れの方は、危なくありませんしいいなと思いました。
イルカと一緒に泳いだり、ダイビングをするのが好きな私達の感想です。
全く見れないって事ではなかったし、親子のクジラに遭遇出来たのも良かったです。
でも、遠くにポコポコって背中やひれが見える程度ですよ。

Not encountered. 遭遇ならず

Reviewed by: きのこ

We used this service with our family during the New Year. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales during our trip, so it ended up being just a regular cruise. It's something that can't be helped, but it might be tough for those who can't accept that. The kids were quite disappointed. I wish we had explained beforehand that "there might be times when we won't see any whales."

正月に家族で利用しました。私たちが参加した時は鯨に遭遇出来ませんでした。よってただのクルージングに。こればかりは仕方ないですね。って気持ちで参加できる方でないと厳しいかも。子供たちは結構ガッカリしてました。事前に「クジラには逢えない場合もあるからね」と説明しておけばよかったと、思いました。

I was able to organize, finalize & make changes for a group of 35 people along the way through Veltra, doing so from some 5,000 miles away from the venue! The Veltra process, from beginning to end went so smoothly & without problem that I had to pinch myself several times during it, just to make sure that it wasn't a dream! ANYONE wishing to make plans for a special & successful event shouldn't think twice about the success that will come in using Veltra!

Unable to encounter. 遭遇できず

Reviewed by: ヤマガラ

I participated in the morning whale watching tour. Perhaps due to the cloudy sky, the whales didn't show up. Since I was returning home that day, I couldn't use a rain check. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing to be done. However, as a birdwatching enthusiast, I was relieved to see the rendezvous flight of the white tern from the boat.

午前のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。曇り空のせいか、クジラさんは出てくれませんでした。その日に帰国するので、レインチェックも使えず。自然が相手なのでしかたないのですが、残念でした。バードウォッチングが趣味なので、船上からシロアジサシのランデブー飛翔が見られたのが救いでした。
