My first time in Hawaii. Before wandering around Honolulu, I decided to take in the view from the sea, so after arriving, I dropped off my luggage at the hotel and joined the tour. As soon as we set sail, we were greeted with the stunning scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head right before our eyes. However, there was a bit of wind that day, and it was quite rocky offshore. Perhaps because of that, the buffet area during lunch wasn't too crowded and was quite smooth. Onboard, there were lessons for making leis, hula dancing, and ukulele playing, which seemed to create a lively atmosphere. Additionally, there were dance shows until disembarkation, and the crew's spirit of service was abundant. Finally, they came around selling group photos taken during boarding for $18. While it's not mandatory, it's a keepsake, so I felt compelled to buy it—what do you think? (laughs)
はじめてのハワイ。ホノルル市内を歩き回る前にまず海上から全体を眺めてみようという事で、到着後ホテルに荷物を預け参加しました。出航後、すぐにワイキキ・ダイヤモンドヘッドの素晴らしい風景を眼前にする事ができます。ただ当日は少し風があり沖合では結構揺れました。そのせいかランチ時のビュッフェコーナーもそう混む事もなくスムーズでした。船内では、レイ作製、フラダンス、ウクレレ等のレッスンがあり盛り上がっていた様です。また、降船時までダンス等のショーもありクルーのサービス精神は旺盛です。最後に乗船時グループ単位で写真を撮影したものを$18で販売に来ます。強制ではないものの記念という事で買わざるを得ませんが、これはどうでしょうか(苦笑)

Took my wife on the 3 star and had a great time! Our waiter was a super waiter ... the food was fancy and tasty and the entertainment was fun. The best part is going up to the top deck and watching the sun go down. You will never see a more beautiful sunset!

My husband and I took the sunset dinner cruise to celebrate our two-year wedding anniversary. It was fantastic! For those who worry about getting sea-sick, the boat right was very smooth and enjoyable, I did not have any problems. The food was delicious and the entertainment was great. I loved the music, very romantic and low and perfect. The sunset was beautiful. They will take pictures of you on the boat that will make great souvenirs - you need to splurge and buy them! Highly recommended!

My family and I went on this tour last year, and we cannot wait to visit the islands once again to experience more whale watching!
The onboard whale expert was very knowlegable and even though my daughter peppered her with questions throughout the tour, she was very attentive and answered each one throughly.
I do wish that there was a bit more outside deck space since it was rather limited, but there was plenty of space indoors, and there were quite a few windows as well.
Great tour!

This was a great way to start our family Hawaiian vacation. There was something for everyone to do. We made fresh flower lei's, learned to play the ukelele, and had hula lessons. The staff was extremely friendly and accomodating. The lunch buffet had a very nice selection and was ono (yummy).
Two hours didn't seem quite long enough. There were so many activities that we didn't get much opportunity to just sit back and enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea. I would recommend this for a family activity. I would go again, next time for the whale watching season.

The Dinner Cruise was fine. We did the City Lights tour afterwards and it was a complete rip off. What little naration there was, was delivered in Japanese. Don't waste your money. Unfortunately it soured our entire evening.

I took my girlfriend to this dinner cruise cuz I heard great things about it. It def. met my expectation, but I wish I had more money to do 5star. We did three star, and it was still good, but if you are really into that person you are with, you should do 5 star (no offense to my gf... next time...) i had a chance to peek the top floor, and it looked really nice inside. Neverthless, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Thanks!

We found the experience a total refreshment. From the loading on the ship to the disembarking, the personal attention to our needs was delightful. We found the food to be excellent. The only down side we found was their taste in music, but to each his/her own.
We found the Vow Renewal part not as exciting as anticipated but well worth the expense.

we absolutely had a great time on the cruise we saw whale activity just as promised. The only two things that I would suggest in the future is that you may want to utilize more of the boats space with the activities you provided, people were too crowded. the buffet needed to be held open longer and have food available in supple amounts those of us who were told we could watch the whales longer and that the buffet would be there came back to limited food and a quick clean up.

My bother and I went on the Oahu Day Cruise on April 10th 2008 just for an activity for the day. The cruise was an amazing experience with great staff and good people. The whales were amazing that day, so there was no lack of seeing one. I would highly recommend this activity during april or wnever there are whales to watch. It was quite an experience. Thanks to Hawaii Activities, and the Star of Honolulu crew.

The meal, the activities alongside the watching, and the prices were all satisfactory. We saw whales several times!! However, they didn't jump as much as in the photos. It felt more like their fins were rolling with the waves. Still, being able to experience whales up close like this is truly unique to Hawaii.
食事内容、ウォッチングと平行しているアクティビティー、料金とも納得できるものでした。クジラも何度か出てくれましたしね!!でもあの写真程はジャンプしませんでした。波とともに背びれがうねる~と言う感じです。それにしても こんなに近くでクジラを感じられるのはやはりハワイならではですよね。
Thank you very much for participating in the whale watching tour. We look forward to having you on board again.

My client called wanting a dinner cruise at sunset so he could ask the woman of his dreams to marry him!
As his travel agent I opted to use Hawaii Activities. We booked the Sunset Dinner Cruise and Tom added the private dinning options with the complimentary professional picture.
I received a picture text at 2:30am from Tom indicating that Conni had said yes, taken by a cruise line staff!
My clients had an absolutely wonderful time with memories that will carry them through their life together.
The Travel DRS will in the future recommend this cruise to any/all my clients as an option for their Hawaii vacation.
The Travel DRS give a 5**** to Hawaii Activities.

I took my girl on this 3 star dinner cruise and we had a really great time. She thought watching the sunset out by diamond head was really romantic - bonus points for me! I never ate a whole lobster before and it was awesome. The show was pretty sweet too because it is a small stage and they are really close to you and they have cool costumes. Thanks for a great night!

We briefly saw some whales, but did not really get close enough to get any good pictures. Food was okay. The air conditioning was on high and everyone, even the mem on board were complaining about how cold it was. It was cool and windy out on deck, but people were going out to try to warm up. It really distracted from the enjoyment of the cruise.

The Whale watch cruise aboard the Star of Honolulu was enjoyable. We did see whales from a distance and near the boat. We also saw spinner dolphins at the beginning of the cruise.
The other activities on board besides the whale watching was entertaining. My daughter enjoyed making leis for us and herself.
The lunch that was served was delicious and my boyfriend enjoyed returning to the buffet for a second helping of the salads. My daughter enjoyed the fruits and cookies that were served. The price of drinks were a bit pricey.
I want to thank the staff who helped me cleanup after my daughter when she became seasick on the cruise. They also stopped by our table afterwards and inquired about how she was doing. Thanks for your concern. Thanks also to the passengers who helped me as well with their kleenex and kindness.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants an off island excursion. It shows the island's beauty from a different viewpoint.

The cruise was nice and we DID see whales! Not a lot of them, but a few spouts and breaches. Too far to really get any type of photo. The lunch is well worth it - better food than what we had at the Polynesian Center Luau!!! I'd recommend to friends who are on first time visits.
