I really enjoyed the cruise. They started on time and I didn't have any issues confirming my seat through this website. I was on their list promptly. It lasts roughly two hours and the first 15 minutes generally consists of a safety briefing before everyone gets started. The crew was very informative and they allowed you to fully walk the boat as well as take pictures while you are stirring the boat. The sunset itself was beautiful and we happen to catch a few whales while out there. Overall it was well worth the experience. It's definitely a little pricy however if you are looking for a good cruise, this should definitely be something you consider.

It was an experience that you can't have in Japan.
The entertainment-filled service from all the staff was wonderful.
Although it was a bit more expensive due to the weak yen, I was satisfied with the cost performance.

We got a free shuttle bus from Waikiki but arrived in the harbor an hour earlier. I don't know why the driver pick us so early. We just stayed in the harbor and took pictures of us to kill the time. After we had done the tour, we needed to go back to the hotel by ourselves by using the city bus.
Hospitality, food, drink and music were all good! If you are lucky, you can see whales during winter. (We couldn't see them.) Besides that, the sunset was beautiful and hilarious.
We suggest that you had better to bring sweater, jacket or whatever you like to wear in December and January as it is chilly and windy. Overall, we highly recommend you join this tour if you have enough time in Waikiki. If you don't expect too much, then this cruise is for you. The ship was small but it was okay for us to enjoy having dinner and seeing the sunset.

It was windy and chilly because we joined this tour in the end of December. We thought Hawaii is hot even in winter but it wasn't. Early morning and evening was chilly. Jackets or sweaters are must! My dad felt bad as he wore short sleeves and short pants. I saw some people had sea sick. Some of them were lying on the chair and did nothing. One of the staffs take them and told them to breathe a fresh air. I realized staffs were considerate and generous. Besides, food was good. They had six dishes, which were teriyaki chicken, white rice, broccoli with beef, vegetable burritos, macaroni salad, and cookies. Everything was fine.I think teriyaki chicken was the best. Most of the dishes were cooked with vegetables so everybody can enjoy having dinner. However, the dinner would be better if all the food was hot until we started to eat.
Overall, We highly recommend you take long sleeves if you will join the cruise in winter. The sunset was beautiful and was the last time to see in 2014.(We're suppose to join the cruise on 30th but it was cancelled due to a bad weather. So, we did it the following day instead.) I guess all generations can enjoy this cruising!

My wife and I purchased the tickets last minute, and we had a great time. We took the sunset cruise, and it was truly amazing to watch sunset on the sea. They had great music along with the ride on the way, they serve nice cocktail, the crew were in good control of the cruise and friendly.
Note that some people got motion sick since we had waves on the sea. Take warm jacket if you decide to watch sunset as it gets cold and windy after sunset.

This was overall very very disappointing. We went on this tour on Christmas eve with our young family, our daughter was excited to go on one of the trolleys and sing Christmas carols, as she had seen them drive along Waikiki. Firstly there was no trolley, but a double decker bus. The driver explained at the outset that because they had changed to a bus, he would not be able to sing or talk along the way. It was promoted as 90 minute trip, but it was actually 45 minutes in total. The lights indeed were lovely but the experience was disappointing
Aloha BJAM,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Honolulu City Lights program, we did make a last minute substitution from trolleys to double deckers, allowing more people to enjoy the beauty of our city lit up for the holiday season. The 90-minute experience includes time to get off and enjoy Honolulu Hale, the rides, booths, and festivities.
We understand your disappointment at the loss of Christmas cheer this change created for your daughter and your family. Your feedback is valuable to us and we will continue improving this experience for 2015 using the information you have passed along helping us give you both the holiday spirit and the aloha spirit that make your holidays full of joy.

I'd like to sorry upfront for my candid feedbacks.
My main objective is to watch the whale; however, there was no whale to watch. The captain tried to raise the expectation of tour participants with somehow false alert such as "01 mile away from whales"... but at the end, no one could sense any whale signals. Even though, the Cruise offered other time to watch the whale, for foreign travellers like me, this is not a genuine gesture - it will be difficult for us to spend another trip to Hawaii for another Whale Watch Cruise. Thus, I suggest it should say that "the Cruise will go around Honolulu in an attempt to find whale, but chance to see whale depends on different factors. If you cannot see whale, take it easy and enjoy the sightseeing..." or something like that.
Lunch will be another area for improvement as the listed dishes are far away from similar one in other normal restaurants.
Other than the above, the trip can be a nice memory when participants can enjoy the beautiful landscape of Honolulu from the Ocean.

This year, at my father's request after he experienced illness and surgery, we went on a trip to Hawaii. Since my parents usually don't express gratitude to each other, I surprised them by booking this option.
The captain's ceremony was entirely in English, so I did my best to translate the important points with my limited English skills, and they seemed to understand somewhat. Afterward, I was worried when my father fell silent, but suddenly he started to cry and expressed his gratitude.
The food was even better than expected, and the show was plentiful, keeping us entertained beyond the scheduled time. There was even a show at the end that brought everyone on the ship together, and I was more satisfied than I had imagined.
Thank you very much. Now that I am back home, I would like to give my parents a letter with the captain's vow along with photos from the vow renewal ceremony. I would be even happier if you could provide that information.
今年病気と手術を経験した父の希望もあり、ハワイ旅行へ行きました。
普段はなかなか感謝を伝え合わない両親なので、サプライズでこのオプションを申込みました。
キャプテンのセレモニーは全文英語のため、私の拙すぎる英語力で大事なポイントはなんとか和訳して伝え、何となく理解はしてくれました。その後、父は黙りこんでしまったため不安でしたが、突然涙を流して感謝してくれました。
お料理も予想以上においしく、ショーもたっぷり、時間を越えてまで楽しませてくれました。
最後は船内が一体となるようなショーもあり、想像以上に満足でした。
ありがとうございました。
帰国した今、改めてバウリニューアル時の写真と共に、キャプテンの誓いの言葉を両親に手紙で渡したいのですが、お教えいただくことができれば、なお嬉しいです。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are also very pleased to hear that your father enjoyed it. You have a wonderful family, and reading your comments warmed our hearts.
The captain's oath will be in English, but if that works for you, I can send it via email. Please send your email address to Info@StarofHonolulu.com, addressed to Noriko.
All of us on the staff look forward to your next visit.

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Sunset Dinner Cruise was worth every penny!!!! As Kamaaina, my husband and I enjoy participating in various so called "tourist" activities. Not everyone who lives in Hawaii has a boat...so activites that offer ocean fun is very appealing. The trip started with a very comfortable pick up and ride aboard a full sized air conditioned bus. The driver was even early for pick-up. Ocean Joy fulfilled our every need from the moment we arrived at the check-in location to the time we departed the boat. The staff were very attentive and informative. The food was plentiful and the bar was flowing. We experienced one of the best views of our local sunset and even got to see a whale breach off the side of the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii and other "Locals" who are looking for new things to do.

My wife and I did this as part of our honeymoon. And even though it was a cloudy evening and we didn't get to see the sunset, we still really enjoyed the trip. The crew was very personable and friendly. And even in choppy seas, the ride was smooth and peaceful. Got to see Waikiki from a different perspective, being on the ocean, and all lit up at night. The food was good, but the only thing that I would change is that the food could have been warmer. Overall an enjoyable time and I would recommend.

This was my first time in Hawaii. I wanted to watch the sunset from the sea and debated between a dinner cruise, but I chose this one because it was reasonably priced.
As everyone mentioned, the meeting place was hard to find. I saw a JTB representative walking around at the Sheraton, so I called out to them for directions.
Feeling the wind and seeing Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from the sea was an entirely different view that excited me, and the sunset sinking into the horizon was beautiful.
We all burst into laughter when we saw a foreigner who was completely soaked after getting splashed while taking pictures with their iPad and smartphone. The atmosphere on the boat was fun, especially with some drinks involved.
初ハワイです。海からサンセットを眺めたくてディナークルージングと迷いましたが値段も手頃なこちらに参加しました。
皆さん書かれてる通り集合場所が分かり難かったです。シェラトンでJTBの人が歩いて居たので思わず声をかけて教えて貰いました。
風を感じて海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街はまた景色が全然違って興奮したし、水平線に沈む夕日も綺麗でした。
ネットの上でiPadやスマホで夢中に写真を撮っていた外国人が思いっきり水しぶきを被ってビショビショになった姿を見て皆で爆笑が起きたりと船上もお酒が入ってる事もあり楽しかったです。

The cloudy weather from the previous day was a lie, as we were greeted with a beautiful clear sky and a wonderful sunset. Just at the moment the sun was setting, the excited crew bounced the yacht too much, which caused some booing from those who were trying to capture the perfect photo or video, but I thought it was very American.
This time, there were many young Americans who were quite loud, and when a group of Chinese tourists passed by on their yacht, some unpleasant remarks were made about it not being an Asian sea, which was quite uncomfortable. However, there were also many solo participants, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
For drinks, we all toasted with Mai Tais, and when we asked the crew for refills, they brought out plenty of Mai Tais, beers, and colas. The stars from the ocean at night and the night view of Waikiki were also absolutely stunning. After the cruise, there was the usual photo sale, and I ended up purchasing one because the view of Diamond Head in the background was beautiful!
前日までの曇天が嘘のように快晴でとても素晴らしいサンセットでした。
丁度夕日が沈む瞬間に、興奮したクルーがヨットをバウンドさせすぎたので、せっかくのシャッターチャンスやビデオを撮影していた人たちからブーイングになりましたが、アメリカっぽいと思いました。
今回は若いアメリカ人が多くとても騒がしくて、近くを中国人グループのヨットが通った時にアジアの海じゃないなどとの差別用語が飛び交ってかなり不愉快なこともありましたが、一人参加の人も多くて気軽な感じでした。
ドリンクは、全員でマイタイで乾杯し、お変りはマイタイやビール、コーラなどクルーに確認するとたくさん出てきます。
夜の海からの星や、ワイキキの夜景もとても素晴らしかったです。
クルーズの後で、お決まりの写真販売がありましたが、背面に移ったダイアモンドヘッドがきれいだったので購入してしまいました!

The reception area can be a bit hard to find, so it might be a good idea to check it out in advance. At the reception, you just hand over your voucher, so it's easy.
When boarding, you'll be wading in water up to your knees, so be mindful of your clothing, and you'll need to take off your shoes to get on. Also, it gets chilly after sunset, so wearing long sleeves is helpful.
The boat does sway a little, but the breeze feels nice and the scenery is beautiful, so I didn't feel seasick. It was a bit disappointing that there were more clouds on the day, but overall, I was very satisfied.
少し受付の場所は分かりにくいので、先に確認しておく方がいいかもです。受付ではバウチャーを渡すだけなので楽。
乗船の時に膝くらいまで浸かるので服装に注意、靴も脱いで乗り込みます。あと、日が暮れてからは冷えるので長袖が役に立ちます。
船は少し揺れますが、風が気持ちいいことと景色が綺麗で酔うことはありませんでした。当日は少し雲が多かったのが残念でしたが、大満足です。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, and I couldn't help but think how wonderful it would have been to have a clear sunset. I don't speak Japanese at all, but everyone was friendly and kind, and the Mai Tai was very delicious.
When boarding the boat, you will get soaked up to your knees, and it can get surprisingly cold, so a towel and a sturdy windbreaker are essential.
当日は残念ながら曇りだったので、はっきりしたサンセットだったらどんなに素晴らしいだろうと思いました。日本語は全く通じませんが、皆さんフレンドリーで優しく、マイタイもとても美味しかったです。

After being in Hawaii for four days already and snorkeling each day, I am so glad I took with snorkel tour since it was by far the best snorkeling with beautiful reefs and sea life, and the photographer came into the water and took underwater photos of us! A jump drive with all the photos cost $40 and was well worth it! Of note do take some motion sickness medicine, you are on a boat!

I have previously watched the sunset with a meal on a large cruise ship filled with Japanese people, but this catamaran is on a completely different level!! You can feel the Hawaiian air and breeze to the fullest, and drinks like cocktails are all-you-can-drink. You can freely walk around the ship while enjoying cocktails, and there were not many Japanese people, which was quite moving. If you're hungry, it's a good idea to bring snacks. I highly recommend it!
