It was the rainy season in Honolulu, but we were blessed with good weather and spent a fun few days there. On the last day, we participated in this tour. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any wildlife, but as everyone has mentioned, it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it (^^;

However, at the end, we received a compensation slip. Since it was the last day, I thought it would be nice to offer a small refund or even a commemorative postcard for those who missed out. It would change the feeling of disappointment and make us more excited to come back and see them next time!

But all the staff members were great♪ Thank you very much!

雨季のホノルルでしたが、天候に恵まれ
楽しい数日間を過ごし、最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
あいにく遭遇できませんでしたが、皆さん書かれているように、自然の生き物ですから仕方ないですね(^^;

ただ最後に、補償の紙をいただきましたが
最終日でしたし
そういう人のためには少しでも返金
もしくは記念のポストカード1枚でもあると
残念感が違うし、今度は見るぞ!という気分にさせるのでは?と思いました。

でも、staffの方はみんな良かったです♪

Great time with my son!
Posted on: 2016/12/02

My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)

We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.

It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.

I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!

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.

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.

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.

My expectations were too high.

Activity Date: 2016/01/14 | Posted on: 2016/10/19

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。

Incredibly romantic! The dinner was so good and our server, Jeanette, was as professional as she was personable. My husband was speachless, but he did say yes to marrying me again.

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!

I felt refreshed! The breakfast was a buffet, and I enjoyed it deliciously! After the meal, I went up to the deck, lay down on a chair, and relaxed while feeling the sea breeze—it was the best! I was also able to see whales in the distance! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii in the winter!

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。
