To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!

I was lucky to be able to make a reservation as there were still openings the day before! I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and relaxing on a float in the beautiful waters of Kaneohe Sandbar (when I went, the water was about waist-deep), and after that, I was able to go on a short snorkeling trip to see the coral reefs. During snorkeling, I saw three large sea turtles, which was fantastic. There were also cute eels! It was great to enjoy cocoa on the boat along with spam musubi and snacks! Since it’s compact and enjoyable in the morning, I think it’s perfect for those with a shorter stay. There was also a Japanese staff member, so I think those who are not confident in their English will feel at ease. Don’t forget that it can be cold getting out of the water in winter without a towel!

前日にまだ空きがあり、予約できてラッキーでした！
カネオヘサンドバーという綺麗な海(私が行った時は腰くらいまでの深さでした)でSUPをしたり、浮き輪で浮いたりのんびりしたあとに、短いコースですがサンゴ礁シュノーケルができました。
シュノーケル中3匹も大きなウミガメが見れてとても良かったです。かわいいウツボもいました♪
船の上でココア飲んだりスパムにぎりやお菓子もいただけてとても良かったです！
午前でコンパクトに楽しめるので、滞在が短めな方にはぴったりだと思います。スタッフさんに日本人の方もいたので英語苦手な人も安心だと思います。
タオルがないと海から上がったあと冬場は寒いと思うのでお忘れなく！

Great food, excellent service, beautiful show, and wonderful atmosphere!

Fun cruise. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunset Cruise on the Majestic. We picked a beautiful evening to experience the sunset and bonus was the whale. I was able to get a picture of the whale along with numerous sunset shots. The reception, music, and service was top notch. I would highly recommend this cruise.

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

The staff spoke Japanese, so the safety explanations, including sending signals if someone was in danger of drowning, were very clear. My husband couldn't swim very well, so we planned to wait on the boat, but thanks to the staff, we were able to go snorkeling.

It was fun to use the SAP and floaties. The spam onigiri, snacks, and macadamia nut coffee were also delicious.

Since it was cold in February, I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.

日本語が話せるスタッフでしたので、おぼれそうになったらサインを送る等安全面含め説明がとても分かりやすかったです。主人がほとんど泳げませんでしたので船で待機する予定でしたが、スタッフの方のおかげでシュノーケリングができました。
SAPや浮き輪も使えて楽しかったです。スパムのおむすび、スナック菓子、マカダミアナッツのコーヒーもおいしかったです。
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織るものをお持ちいただいた方がよいと思います。

I will start with our driver ernie he so nice and good made the drive not boring...The Historical sites of the Pearl Harbor was amazing and ghostbumps..feeling the history that I only read and watch on YT

It was a bit cold with strong winds in February, but it was fine once I got into the sea! The staff were very friendly and spoke Japanese, so I felt comfortable enjoying my time there.

2月なので風が強く少し寒かったですけど海に入れば大丈夫でした！スタッフもとても親切で日本語も話せるから安心して楽しめます♪

We participated as a pair. The weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny. There were about 30 participants, and surprisingly, 28 of them were Japanese. Therefore, all the explanations that day were in Japanese, and the crew members were very kind. When we went to the heavenly sea by boat, we were greeted by an emerald blue that looked like a picture. It was much more beautiful than the sea at Waikiki Beach. We participated in early February, and the sea was warmer than we expected. First, we rode a stand-up paddleboard in the shallow waters for the first time, and it felt very pleasant. After that, we went snorkeling and swam above the fish. We also encountered turtles twice. This was the activity where I felt the most connected to Hawaii during this trip. I would love to participate again if I come back.

2人で参加。天候は曇りと晴れが混ざった感じ。参加者が30人程いましたが、なんと内28人が日本人。そのため、その日の説明は全て日本語、クルーの皆さんとても親切でした。船で天国の海にいくと、写真のようなエメラルドブルーが広がっています。ワイキキビーチの海とは比較にならないくらい綺麗。2月上旬の参加でしたが、思ったよりも海は暖かかったです。まずは浅瀬でサップボートに初めて乗りましたが、とても心地がいい。その後シュノーケリングをし、魚が泳いでいる上を遊泳していました。あと亀にも2回遭遇しました。今回のハワイ旅行で1番ハワイを感じたアクティビティでした。また来たら参加したい。

So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.

Its a rain or shine experienced but its awesome...My 7yo son is biracial Filipino Taiwanese and cannot understand english but he clapped like an adult during the HA a breath of life show... the fire dance by the samoan made him amaze...the food at gateway was perfect...I've seen so many Filipinos in the buffet area assesting us... So many crew assesting in the tribes sometimes I felt overwhelmed yet its good...the missionaries were good too... the asked me both are approachable too...they all smile...I'm so proud that they have Filipino and other asian workers...Mabuhay
PS. I liked the bus driver Shaft so funny and informative

I had a great time. There were various activities, and I really enjoyed myself. I was able to meet turtles, which became an unforgettable memory for me. This is a tour I can recommend to anyone.

とても楽しかったです。
いろいろなアクティビティがあり、楽しめました。亀に会うことができ、一生忘れられない思い出になりました。
どんな方にもおすめできるツアーです。

When you go to the reception at check-in time, you are first seated at a long table outside. The spacing between the chairs is a bit tight, so it feels like you're crammed in among strangers.

You receive a complimentary welcome drink, along with two free drink vouchers (you can choose whether they include alcohol). The meals are served buffet-style, and there were also some light entertainment during the meal. The taste was average, but the drinks (cocktails) were delicious.

Before long, we were guided inside the venue to watch the show, and finally, it was time for the Hawaiian show.

It started with hula dancing, followed by impersonations of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, and there was also a fire dance. The quality of the show was high, and I really enjoyed it.

チェックインタイムに受け付けに行くと、まず外にある長いテーブルに座らされます。椅子の間隔がやや狭いので、知らない人の中に詰め込まれる感じです。

無料のウェルカムドリンク、それとは別にドリンク２杯の無料券がもらえます(アルコール有無が選択できる)。
食事はビッフェ形式で、食事中もちょっとした余興がありました。お味は普通かな。飲み物(カクテル)は、美味しかったです。

そうこうしているうちに、ショーを見るために館内へ入るように案内され、いよいよハワイアンショーです。

フラダンスに始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ダイアナ・ロスのそっくりさんショーがあり、ファイアーダンスもありました。ショーの完成度は高く楽しめました。

We were able to participate as a family. There was an initial explanation, but I could hardly understand it in English. Just before entering the water, I realized that wearing the rental life jackets was not optional for those diving; everyone had to wear one. It would be easier to understand if there were boards displaying information in multiple languages.

The snorkeling was fantastic, with clear weather and a wonderful encounter with a turtle. There were some waves as we headed out to sea, and I got a bit seasick. Participants should be cautious about that. However, even in that situation, I felt safe. The staff were kind and helped me recover quickly.

At the end, we took a commemorative photo with the staff. It was a great memory to be able to swim with the turtle as well.

家族で参加できました。
最初の説明がありましたが、英語でほとんど理解できず、海に入る直前に、レンタルの救命胴衣は希望者ではなく、潜る人は皆着用必須であることがわかりました。各国語表示の掲示板のようなものがあると理解しやすいのになと思います。
シュノーケリングは天候も快晴でカメさんとの出会いもあり最高でした。
沖合に出るため、多少波があり、波酔してしまいました。参加する人は注意しましょう。しかしそうなっても、安心です。スタッフさんが優しく対応してくれすぐに回復しました。
最後はスタッフさんと記念撮影。亀さんとも一緒に泳ぐことができいい思い出になりました。

現地1/30(月)
母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。

ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。

CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪

ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました！
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました！

シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ！
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました！

ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています！
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います！

I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.

ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。

I had a wonderful experience. During snorkeling, I was able to see three sea turtles, and one of them was close enough to touch.

素晴らしい体験ができました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメを三匹見ることができ、
そのうちの一匹は触れるほどの距離で見ることができました。

We celebrated the night before our marriage on this event. We were a large group of 27. They accommodated us and sat us all together. The entertainment and the food were excellent. The servers kept everything flowing and joyful. Very organized and fun. I really enjoyed the dancers and singers. They performed in front of us and had them all over so everyone could enjoy them. The only bummer was that I specifically chose to go on the Friday sunset cruise for the firework show. However, it didn’t happen due to the winds. I was very sad. Other than that, I thought it was a fabulous experience.

The Sunset Cocktail Cruise was so much fun. The drinks and appetizers were amazing.
The entire Crew was very friendly and accommodating with serving drinks, appetizers and offering to snap photos.
We look forward to Cruising again next January

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The experience was wonderful, even though the day was not sunny and it was a little windy. The snorkeling was amazing, and we definitely saw a bunch of turtles! The boat ride was smooth, and the water was nice! Definitely recommend, it was totally worth it!

When I woke up in the morning and looked outside, it was cloudy... Since it looked cold, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and a light jumper! There were four staff members on the boat, and they were all wearing thick hoodies (laughs). We arrived at the sandbar quickly from where the boat was anchored! The water was about waist-deep, and despite the clouds, it was surprisingly clear and beautiful! They lent us paddleboards and floaties, so we spent time taking pictures and having fun at the sandbar! After that, we put on life jackets and snorkels and swam to see the honu! It was quite deep, but wearing a life jacket made it completely fine! There were a lot of participants, so it was a bit crowded for swimming. We were able to see about 3-4 honu (^ - ^). After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I was shivering, so having a thick hoodie or sweatshirt might be a good idea! On the boat, there were snacks, warm water, coffee, and one spam onigiri per person! The snacks were all-you-can-eat, so I tried some that I had never eaten before! They were all delicious snacks, so I bought some as souvenirs at a local supermarket! Since there was a little time after getting off the boat, some people were changing. It was really cold, so I wish I had brought a change of clothes... One of the staff members spoke Japanese, so I could hear the explanations in Japanese! It was a valuable experience!!

朝起きて外を見たら、曇り、、、
寒そうだったので水着＋ラッシュガード＋薄手のジャンパーみたいなものを羽織って行きました！
船のスタッフは4名いましたが、みなさん厚めのパーカーを羽織ってました(笑)
船の停まってる場所からサンドバーまではすぐ到着しました！腰くらいの高さでしたが、曇りの割に水が透き通って見えてとても綺麗でした！
パドルボートや浮き輪を貸してくれたので、サンドバーで楽しみながら写真を撮ったりして過ごしました！
その後、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて、ホヌに会いに泳ぎました！結構深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着てるので全く問題なかったです！
参加者が多かったので、泳ぎにくさはありました。3-4匹のホヌに会えることができました(^-^)
海から上がった後は震えるくらい寒かったので、厚手のパーカーやトレーナーがあると、いいかもしれません！
船上ではスナック、あったかい水・コーヒー、1人1個スパムおにぎりがありした！！スナックは食べ放題なので、食べたことのないスナックを食べました！！どれも美味しいスナックなので、お土産に地元のスーパーでも買いました！
船から降りてから少し時間もあったので、着替えてる方もいました。とにかく寒かったので着替え持参しておけばよかった、、
スタッフのうち1名、日本語スタッフがいてくれたので、説明は日本語で聞けました！
貴重な経験ができました！！

Aloha my Pearl Harbor tour was quite fantastic! We truly enjoyed the informational experience. It was a long day though.

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was a wonderful experience, blessed with great weather. The whales were far away, but we could see their tails and spouts. I later heard they were juvenile humpback whales. Overall, it was a pleasant cruising experience. I would have liked to see the dynamic adult whales a bit closer.

海上から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドペット、
お天気にも恵まれ最高の時間でした。
クジラは遥か遠くでしたが尾びれや潮吹きも確認できました。あとから聞いたら子供のザトウクジラだそう。ともかく気持ちの良いクルージングでした。もう少し近くでダイナミックな親クジラもみたかったです。

It was held inside the hotel.
They welcomed us with leis, and it was a fun time.
The food was also very filling, and the show was impressive.

ホテル内で開催されていました。
レイでお出迎えしてくれて楽しいひと時。
ご飯もボリューム満点でショーも見応えがあった。

From around 10 AM to about 3 or 4 PM, not all the water slides were operating. It seemed like they were only open from 1 PM, possibly due to a lack of staff. Considering the high price we paid, it was quite disappointing. I don't think I'll go again next time.

10時くらいから3時か4時くらいまでで、
ウォータースライダーも全てがやってるわけではなく、午後1時からとか従業員がいないせいか
やったりやらなかったりで高いお金出してるわりには散々でした
次はもう行かないと思います

The staff was absolutely fantastic. It was the first tour of the new year, and the weather was perfect! The hamburgers were delicious, and it was a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere. I highly recommend it for those who are inexperienced.

スタッフが最高に楽しかったです。新年1回目のツアーだったらしく、天候も最高！ハンバーガーも美味しくて他では味わえない楽しみでした。
未経験の方は絶対オススメです。

My wife and I enjoyed ourselves on the Sunset Dinner cruise. Have a fabulous time. Enjoyed the sunset and show.

We went snorkeling around the sandbar and enjoyed various marine activities in the shallow waters. It was safe and fun! We also got to see three sea turtles swimming, which made us truly feel the essence of Hawaii.

The staff were very kind, and there was even a Japanese staff member who was attentive throughout our visit.

Thank you to all the staff! I especially recommend this for families with children.

サンドバー周辺をシュノーケリングし、浅瀬では様々なマリンアクティビティ。安全で楽しく遊ぶことができました。また、ウミガメの泳ぐ姿(3頭)も見ることができ、ハワイを実感しました。
スタッフの方がとても親切。日本人スタッフの方もいて、終始、気を使っていただきました。
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました！
子連れの方には特におすすめです。

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.
