It was an enjoyable, memorable, unforgettable, and breathtaking Dinner Cruise celebrating my 60th birthday on August 31, 2014 with "Three Star Classic Steak & Lobster Dinner" all the way from Toronto, Canada. Me and 13 guests were very pleased from Customer Service (very friendly staff), food and beverages, and atmosphere. I will surely strongly recommend to all Canadians and non-Canadians. The greatest thing... I felt I was the "STAR" of Honolulu Dinner Cruise guest at the time, as I got lots of attention from STAFF and GUESTS greeting me "Happy birthday." In addition, one of the Polynesian dancers, Emmy C. my cousin daughter watching her dancing, added my day celebrating another Milestone. She and all her co-dancers and all the entertainers did a great job! Kudos!
I will also to thank VELTRA tours and activities Company especially my niece Emily Coloma who booked our reservation. I will surely recommend to all my friends, family, relatives and acquaintances globally. Mahalo!

I was able to see whales! I participated with my 5-year-old daughter, but she didn't seem very impressed, perhaps because of the distance to the whales. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly, so my husband and I had a great time.
The boat hardly rocked, so I don't think anyone would get seasick.
クジラ見られました!
5歳の娘と参加したましたが、娘はクジラまでの距離があるせいか、あまり感動していないようでした(@_@;)
料理も美味しかったし、スタッフの方もフレンドリーだし、夫と私はとても楽しかったです。
船もほとんど揺れないので、酔うこともないと思います。

My husband and I went on this fabulous cruise not only for dinner and entertainment but for the beautiful sunset that occurs off the shores of Oahu.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

I could only see the whale's fins and tail, but the deep blue, beautiful sea was stunning! Also, there were so many people that when the whale appeared, everyone crowded to that side, so I couldn't take many photos of the whale!
クジラは手や尾しか見れなかったのですが、真っ青で綺麗な海がとてもきれいでした!
また、人数がとても多くてクジラが現れるとそっち側に皆が寄るのでクジラの写真はあまり撮れなかったです!

This was my several times visiting Hawaii, and since there was a whale watching tour available, I signed up with high expectations.
We were able to see the whales spouting water and occasionally showing their tails in a location not far from Honolulu, but there were no jumps or anything like that; it felt more like they were swimming gracefully, which lacked a bit of excitement. So, I was a bit disappointed...
However, the weather was nice, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. Among the boats around us, the Star of Honolulu was the largest and most stylish!
Next time, I definitely want to see them jump and get my revenge!
何度目かのハワイで、ホエールウォッチングの設定がある時でしたので、期待して申込ました。
ホノルルからさほど離れていない場所で潮を吹くところや尾びれをちらっと見せたりと見ることは出来ましたが、ジャンプするとかは無く優雅に泳いでる感じで迫力に欠けたかなという事で、う~ん!少し残念・・・
でも、お天気も良く船酔いする心配もなく、周りにいた船のなかでは一番大きくてカッコイイスターオブホノルル号でした!
次回はぜひジャンプを身にリベンジしたいです。
Thank you for joining our whale watching tour. We look forward to having you on board again during your next trip to Hawaii.

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.
2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠~くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。
Thank you for choosing our cruise. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again.

First of all, the inside of the ship is too cold. It's better to bring a jacket.
Also, everything on the ship is in English only.
I was able to see a whale in the distance, but it was much farther away than I had imagined, so I could only see it briefly and it looked small.
After that, there was nothing to do but wait to return, so I spent quite a bit of time just passing the time. There was too much free time, and I wish there had been some kind of event.
I wouldn't really recommend it.
まず、船内が寒すぎ。羽織物を持参した方がよい。
また、船内は全て英語オンリーです。
遠くの方で鯨がみれましたが、想像していたのよりだいぶ離れているので小さくしかみえず一瞬でした。
後は帰るのみなので時間をかなり弄びました。フリー時間がありすぎるので何かイベント的なものがあればよいのに。。
あまりおすすめしません。

My girlfriend and I decided to attend this luau because we were told that it is more privatized, less populated, and more personal. Indeed it was. Chiefs Luau has got be one of the most entertaining luau I have been to so far. Chief Sielu is a natural entertainer, with a real good sense of humor. The best part was Chief Sielu hand selected Ali'is to be used for demonstrations and entertainment. I believe the ali'is that he has chosen for the evening will never forget how to hold their wives, and throw them away. Overall this was the most funniest luau and great food.

I signed up for this experience because my companion, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, wanted to go on a boat, see whales, and dance the hula—all in one package. Although the wind was strong, the boat was large enough that I felt comfortable. We saw the whales' tails twice. The activities were divided into three parts: hula, ukulele, and lei-making. My friend was thrilled to finally dance as she had always wanted. The staff was also very friendly. Next time, I want to go when the whales are more active.
ハワイが初めての同行者が希望した、船に乗りたい・クジラを見たい・フラダンスを踊りたいがまとめて叶うので、申し込みました。風が強かったですが、船が大きいので、弱い私も大丈夫でした。クジラは尾だけ2回見られました。フラとウクレレとレイ作りの3つに分かれて教えてくれました。友人は念願かなって楽しそうに踊っていました。スタッフも親切でした。今度はクジラが活発な時期に行ってみたいです。

thoughtful and polite and returned to see if we wanted more food.
The mixed drinks were no more than sugar water. I attended the
