Oahu
This was a very enjoyable experience, staff on board were very accomodating.
a very enjoyable night
As experienced travelers have mentioned, we were the only Japanese people on board. It was the best cruising experience amidst the English conversations. You can choose from drinks like special punch and beer, and the staff were happy to take photos for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the ocean and the sunset over the sea. The only downside was that the lively background music was old pop songs. After all, Hawaii should have Hawaiian music! For those who will participate, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. The return to Waikiki after the sunset might be a bit tough.
経験者のコメント通り、日本人は私たちだけ。英語が飛び交う中、最高のクルージングでした。飲み物も、特製のパンチやビールが選べますし、カメラのシャッターもスタッフが快く押してくれました。沖から眺めるワイキキも、海に沈むサンセットも満喫しました。残念だったのは賑やかにかかるBGMが古いポップスだったこと。やっぱハワイはハワイアンでしょ!これから参加する方はやはり乗り物酔い止めの薬を飲むことをお勧めします。サンセットのあと、ワイキキに戻るまでがちょっと辛いかもです。
i throughly enjoyed not only the cruise itself but the entertainment and the food were fantastic.
I had a great time!
My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform
Wow!!! The guys were great, drinks were awesome and the music was perfect. The perfect party boat. Thanks guys, I'll see you again next year.

The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.
i really don't have anything to say but i enjoyed it
I participated in a tour on July 3rd. Since the tour location was the beach in front of the Outrigger Reef Hotel, I leisurely walked to the designated spot in the morning!
First, we each signed in before boarding the catamaran!
Most of the participants were foreigners, which really lifted my spirits!
We first headed out to the waters off Waikiki for snorkeling! The blue of the ocean is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what you see at Waikiki Beach! However, I thought there were no fish... but when the crew fed them, suddenly there were fish!!! But only black fish... There were no coral fish or anything like that. The black fish were very timid and would swim away if you got too close...
Since it was a morning catamaran tour, snorkeling early in the day was a bit chilly for us Japanese, so we got out of the water early. Compared to that, the Americans were amazing!!
After snorkeling, the catamaran set sail towards Waikiki! As we sped towards Waikiki, when the boat hit the waves, we were at the front and got splashed all over, getting completely soaked! It was quite fun!!
On the way back, we turned off the engine, and it really felt like a "catamaran cruise."
Also, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication before boarding the catamaran! My mother, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling sick (^_^;).
7月3日にツアーに参加しました。ツアー場所がアウトリガーリーフホテル前のビーチということで、朝のんびりと散歩がてら指定場所に向かいました!!
最初に、一人一人署名をしてからカタマランに乗りました!!
ツアーに参加してる方はほとんど外国の方ばかりなので、気分も上々!!
まずワイキキ沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリング!!海の青さはワイキキビーチと比べものにならないくらい綺麗ですよ!でも、魚がいない・・・と思ったらクルーがえさをあげたら、いつの間にか魚が!!!でも黒い魚のみ・・・コーラルフィッシュなどはいませんでした。。。その黒い魚はとても臆病で近寄ると逃げちゃうんですよ・・・
朝のカタマランツアーなので、早くからのシュノーケリング・・・私たち日本人にはちょっと寒くて早めに海から上がりました。それに比べアメリカ人はすごいね!!
シュノーケリング後、カタマランはワイキキ沖へとセーリング!!ワイキキ沖に向かってスピードを出すので、船と波がぶつかると、前のほうにいた私たちはビッシャンビッシャンとしぶきが飛んできて、ずぶ濡れでした!!それが面白かったですよ!!
帰りはエンジンを切って、これぞ「カタマランクルーズ」ってなかんじでした。
また、カタマランに乗る前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいですよ!普段乗り物酔いしない母が酔いましたから(^_^;)
The food was great, the show was amazing and watching the sunset with Diamond Head in the background was perfect! Much better than any of the other luaus I have been on!
If you have a shuttle included, it's recommended to arrive early as the shuttle bus departs right on time.
送迎付の場合、送迎バスが出発時刻すぐに出るので早めにいかれることをお勧めします。
This luau was very nice. We throughly enjoyed the entertainment and the food. Very high class and would recommend to friends and family.
Will do again.
We had a great time on the Navatek. Met some really nice people. The problem was we were right in front of the entertainer's and some in the group complained the volume of the entertainment was too loud. Of course you really couldn't carry on a conversation during dinner because the entertainment was a bit loud! The service was great, the food fantasic, just the entertainment a bit too loud.
Had a really good time on the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise! The ride was real smooth and the dinner was good. I'll be making another trip aboard the Navatek when I return to Oahu!
This was a great experience. Food was great service was great show was excellent over all this was a experience of a lifetime.
We have been to 3 other Luau's the food was the best here. We had 11 in our party Parents, Grandparents, and Children. We had all booked seperatly but the staff did place us together and were extremely helpfull and attentive. Last year we went to Paradise cove and for the kids it has a lot more to do. But this was close to our hotel and we all had a good time. It was money and time well spent.
We went on the sunset dinner cruise in June 2007 and had a great time! All of the staff was wonderful and very friendly. The dinner was good- nice portions ( we did NOT go home hungry), and the music and show was a blast! The top deck was perfect for taking sunset pictures of Diamond Head. We did the couple's plan and recommend it to any couple deciding on this package. This ended up being a really fun night for the both of us and would highly recommend it to anyone going to Oahu!
The catamaran ride was great. The staff was very entertaining and made sure we had a good time. The fire works show was pointless. However, I still recommend the catamaran ride itself.
Food was great, service was great, entertainment was superb.
I'll do it again next visit.
It was a great experience. I look forward to doing it again.
The show is wonderful. The food was horrible. All salty to the taste and food that was suppose to be hot was cold.
We had a great time! We opted for the sit down dinner to get window seats for 4. The dinner was more food than we could eat which was served course by course beginning with cocktails and skewered shrimp, followed by a salad, lobster, and lastly steak and vegetables. They time the meal so that you are finished in time to watch the sunset. There is a small deck outside that only holds about 20; so keep an eye on the time and leave your table early to secure a spot on the deck to watch the sunset. After the sunset return to your table to enjoy the entertainment and dessert. Overall this was a great experience.
I appreciate your service. It's been a fantastic, pleasurable, and smooth first time experience with your company. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends, family, and co-workers. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.
THIS WAS ONE THE BEST TIMES I HAD WHEN I WAS IN HAWAII. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THE SUNSET WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS WORRIED THAT THE BOAT WOULD BE ROCKY BUT IT WAS SMOOTH SAILING AND THE UPPER DECK IS A GREAT PLACE TO SIT BACK AND RELAX WITH YOUR HUNNY!
This was probably one the best hi-lights of our trip.It was a very pleasant surprise,as we had no idea what to expect.The only thing wrong was that the sun didn't co-operate for us .But all in all it was a very pleasant experience.I will do this again if we ever make it back there.
Thanks,
Bill Claypool
I enjoyed it when the speed was high in the first half, but in the second half, it became more relaxed, which felt nice, but I almost dozed off. It was easy to participate and I had a great time.
前半のスピードが出ていたときは楽しめましたが、後半はのんびりしてしまい気持ちよいのですが、うとうとしてしまうくらいでした。
気軽に参加できて楽しめました。
a friend of mine who went to hawaii last spring break told me about the pacific star and i am so glad that she did. the food is sooooo good and it is awesome being in the private lounge since i went around the boat and saw the other decks and they were totally crowded. we had our own private restroom and even a nice little deck area too. and only $5 for martinis! can't go wrong!
We were not lucky enough to spot a whale on our first attempt, although we were graced with the company of a large pod of Spinner Dolphins swimming very close to the ship.
Two days later, having taken advantage of the free raincheck ticket, we saw four adult Humpback Whales and a calf. There are no words to adequately describe the experience - just go and do it. The Star of Honolulu is crewed by very knowledgeable staff and the onboard facilities and entertainmen are first-rate.
