All Reviews for Aloha Tower, Honolulu

The food was just okay, but the three-story ship was great! The first floor had dining, the second floor was a live music bar, and the third floor had a deck and bar, which made for a fulfilling experience! Above all, the sunset was beautiful to see!

料理はまぁまぁでしたが、3階建ての船で1階でご飯、2階が生演奏バー、3階はデッキ＆バーと充実して楽しめました！
とにかくサンセットが綺麗に見えて良かった！

I participated on September 28. The hotel pickup was about 15 minutes late, and I was contemplating whether to call for inquiries when a large bus arrived. We were the last pickup. However, it was reassuring that the pickup location and the contact number for inquiries in case of delays over 10 minutes were clearly stated at the time of booking. There were only two of us Japanese; the rest were from Australia and the United States. The guide on the bus spoke Japanese, which was helpful.

The seating on the boat was basically free. There were round tables for six. Since the boat was spacious and the tables were large, we could enjoy our meals without worrying about the people next to us. It was a buffet style, and there was plenty of food, which was satisfying. The pineapple among the fruits was particularly delicious, and I ate quite a bit of it.

We could move freely between the second and third floors, so I went to the front to take pictures of Diamond Head while it was still light. Then I went to the back of the boat to watch the sunset. Finally, it was time for the fireworks. The display lasted about five minutes, but it was a satisfying fireworks experience. The weather was good, and there were no waves, making it a comfortable viewing of the fireworks from the boat. The weather and waves depend on luck, so all we can do is pray for good conditions.

９月２８日の参加です。ホテルピックアップが約１５分遅れ、問い合わせの電話をしようかと迷っていたところへ大型バスが到着。私たちが最後のピックアップでした。ただ申し込み時に、ピックアップの場所と１０分以上遅れた場合の問い合わせ先も明記してあったので安心でした、、、。日本人は私たち２人だけ。あとはオーストラリア、アメリカから。バスに添乗していたガイドさんが日本語の話せる方でしたので、助かりました。船の席は基本自由。６人掛けの丸テーブル。広い船内と広いテーブルでしたので、隣の方を気にすることなく食事ができました。バイキング形式でしたが、量もふんだんにあり、満足でした。フルーツではパイナップルがとても美味しかったのが印象的でした、、、かなり食べました、、、。
２階３階へは移動が自由でしたので、明るいうちにダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に収めるため先頭へ。夕日を観るため船尾へ。そして花火の時間。打ち上げは５分ほどでしたが満足の花火観賞でした。お天気が良く波もなかったので快適な船からの花火観賞でした。お天気と波は運次第ですね。祈るしかありません。

I booked this for the fireworks, but the sunset was amazing, and the fireworks were fantastic as well. The view from the sea was unobstructed, with Diamond Head shining in the sunset and the hotels in the background, making it a spectacular sight. It was a tour I would love to join again.

花火を目的で予約しましたが、夕日は最高だし、花火も最高でした、海から見える景色は遮るものもなく、夕日に輝くダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテル群、見ごたえがありました。
また参加したいツアーでした。

I made a reservation for the last day in Hawaii on Friday. I was really looking forward to it, but… there was no information about when, what, or where things were happening. It seems there was live music, but in the end, I couldn't see or hear anything.

The dinner buffet guests were on the 1st and 2nd floors, while the appetizer guests were on the 3rd floor. After boarding, we were taken to the 1st floor, and seating was free, but there was no guidance on that either, so everyone was just wandering around aimlessly.

For some reason, it seemed that non-Japanese guests had arrived early and had already taken the window seats and were eating. I had also made a reservation for a children's chair since I was attending with a small child, but since there was no assigned table, they didn't bring it until I asked. The child was really looking forward to the hula dance, so it was truly disappointing.

In the end, I couldn't see it, but after watching the fireworks, I caught a glimpse of guests who seemed to be feeling good after drinking and were dancing with the dancers, which felt like the atmosphere of a bar or club. The fireworks and night view were beautiful, but it was really disappointing.

金曜日のHawaii最終日に予約しました
とても楽しみにしていたのですが…
いつ・なにを・どこでしているのかも案内すら無く
生演奏もしていたようですが結局見ることも聞くことも出来ませんでした
ディナービュッフェの客は1F2Fアペタイザーの客は3F
乗船後1Fに通され席も自由席でしたがその案内も無く、ただただみんなウロウロゴソゴソするばかり
何故か？日本人以外の客は早々に来ていたようで窓際の席に陣取りすでに食事をしている状態
小さな子供も連れての参加で事前に子供椅子の予約もしていましたが…
テーブルが決まっているわけでもないので言うまで持ってきてくれず
子供がフラダンス等とても楽しみにしていたのに本当に残念でした
結局は見れなかったのですが…最後花火を見終わりちらっと見た感じでは
飲んで気分が良くなったお客さんがダンサーと共に踊って楽しんでいる…
と言うその辺のバーやクラブのノリでした
花火や夜景は綺麗だったのに本当に残念でした。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset due to the cloudy weather, but the night view and fireworks visible from the sea were great. The boat sways quite a bit, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be tough for you.

残念ながら曇りだったため綺麗なサンセットは見られませんでしたが、海から見える夜景と花火はよかったです。
船は結構揺れて長時間乗っているので酔いやすい方は辛いかもしれません。

Amazing experience. Everyone was supper nice and the entertainment was amazing as well

Wonderful evening on the Star of Honolulu! Entertainment & music was fantastic! A huge thank you to all the entertainers, staff, musicians, crew & captain of the ship! Our wait staff, Nicole was exceptional! They all made our evening memorable!

I don't like being told how much to write or to do so at all. The cruise was fine

Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent

My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!

I used this service on the last night of my trip to Hawaii. I was able to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery on a luxurious cruiser, creating the best memories. While most other tours had a majority of Japanese participants, this tour had many international guests. For $30, you can receive the photo data. I would love to use this service again!

ハワイ旅行最後の夜に利用しました。
高級感溢れるクルーザーで美味しい料理と、素敵な景色を見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。
他のツアーは日本人の方が大半ですが、こちらのツアーは海外の方がたくさん来ていました。
30ドルで写真のデータを送ってもらえます。
また利用したいです！

Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.

Amazing experience!! The food, service, setting and ambiance is outstanding. Highly recommend and do the 7 course meal, so worth it!!

We took the sunset cruise and enjoyed the meal and going out and watching the sunset on the Ocean in view of diamond head.

Before boarding ship, performers played fura dance, they made good moody.
This dinner was very good for me, especially I likeed roasted beef!
I enjoyed performance by singer and dancer, so I could join the teaching fura dance.
Of course, I could take a picture behind sunset on horizon.
Finally they celebrated us about honeymoon.

We loved it! Show was so good and the performers were amazing and so attentive. Highly recommend!!!

First, we waited for the pickup, then we waited to go, and even after we arrived, we waited... It was so difficult to find something to eat that we could enjoy, as there were very few options. Since there were Japanese staff members, I had no worries about the language. The scenery and fireworks were beautiful. The return trip was also quite long...

まず、ピックアップからまち、行くまでも待ち、ついてからも待ち・・・
ご飯も食べれるものを探すのに苦労するくらい食べれるものが少ない。日本人スタッフがいるから言葉の心配はゼロ。景色、花火はきれいにみれた。帰りもまぁ、長かった・・・

Great food, great service. The only thing I might add is to provide something to crack open the lobster

This was a last minute thing that we decided to do - and we're sure glad that we did.
Was a great night with good food and good entertainment to follow. Rose was our server and what a fantastic job she did, she had a number of tables to look after (as servers do over there) yet she gave intimate tables of two just as much as large group tables.
Overall a well run experience from pickup to drop off couldn't fault it at all

Entertainment was great. There was always something going on if you don't be careful you will miss the sunrise. I was beautiful.

We went for my daughter's graduation, we had a great time. The food was ok, but the performances and audience involvement made up for it. My kids really enjoyed it! The sunset was amazing!!! This is a must do activity.

My tour of the Big Island was canceled at the last minute due to the volcanic eruption, so since I was already in Hawaii, I quickly booked a sunset cruise. Thanks to arriving early, I was able to get a nice window seat and was among the first in line for the buffet, which made me happy. The experience wasn't perfect because there was a Chinese family whose kids were climbing on the sofa with their shoes on, throwing cushions, and running around, making a lot of noise. It really ruined the atmosphere.

ハワイ島観光が噴火の影響で直前キャンセルになり、すでにハワイにいたので急遽サンセットクルーズを申し込みました。
早めに現地に着いたおかげで窓側のいい席をとれてブッフェも最初に並ぶことができて満足です。
満点にならなかったのは中国のファミリーがいて子供達が土足でソファにあがったり、クッション投げをしたり、バタバタ走り回っていてうるさかったです。せっかくのムードが台無し。

A family of 11, including adults and infants, participated. They enjoyed a fun time while eating at the buffet, and eventually, as sunset approached, everyone was satisfied.

大人、乳幼児11人のファミリー参加しました。
ビュッフェを食べながら楽しく過ごし、やがてサンセットの時間になりみんな満足していました。

Watching the sun set was beautiful! The entertainment and food was good, especially the unlimited crab legs.

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.

残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment

Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.

船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。

This was my second time on a dinner cruise, but this ship didn't have any special stage performances, just a few band members and one Hawaiian dancer, which felt quite simple. There wasn't really a show to speak of, and there were no announcements for birthday or wedding celebrations, which made it a bit lonely. The cheerful atmosphere of Hawaii is very enjoyable, so it was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't too high, so maybe that's to be expected? Since we were a group of six, we had reserved seats, but some groups had to sit together at shared tables. It's also based on the order of boarding, so I recommend boarding early.

夕食付きクルージングは、2度目ですが、今回の船には、特段舞台もなく、数名のバンドと一人のハワイアンダンサーでさっぱりしたものでした。
ショーと言えるものはなく、お誕生日お祝い、結婚祝いなどの呼びかけもなく、ちょっと寂しかったかな。ハワイの陽気な雰囲気は、とても楽しいので、
残金でした。料金もそれ程なのでやむ得ないか？
6人で行ったので、予約席がありましたが、数名のグループは自由席で、相席状態でした。それも、乗船順なので、早めに乗船することを勧めます。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.

スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

Due to a sudden change in the hull inspection, we used this option. Since it was our wedding anniversary, I was worried about how it would turn out, but this was also very lovely. The view was great as well.

船体検査で急遽変更し、こちらを利用させていただきました。結婚記念日でしたのでどうなることかと思いましたが、こちらもとても素敵でした。景色もよく見えました。
