Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Star of Honolulu sunset buffet cruise

Reviewed by: Anica

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Sunset dinner cruise.

Reviewed by: NV

Highlight was the Polynesian show. Food was ok, deserts were good. Complimentary drinks were average. Purchased drinks were pricey. Overall, did not get to see much of a sunset by being busy with the food and the show. It felt more like sitting in a restaurant since the boat was moving slow and sturdy unless you come out to grab the food.

We had the best time with the Star of Honolulu. The captain was very welcoming, and the staff was first rate. Our restaurant wait person Tina, was very prompt in meeting our needs. She was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was excellent, and the food was tasty and plentiful. We sat next to a couple of other travelers and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I would recommend this cruise to everyone!

2-Hour Waikiki Sunset Sail & Swim Experience - Three Tiki Catamaran Cruise

Family-friendly, magical and fun

Reviewed by: Cheryl

Our experience aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly kind staff. I was nervous having a toddler but everyone assured us our son was welcomed. They even had a place store our stroller.

One of the first things that struck us was how immaculately clean the boat was. It was evident that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities for the crew.

The ride itself was an absolute blast! Having never been on a catamaran, it did not disappoint! As we cruised along, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sunset casting its warm hues over the Honolulu skyline, with the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head in the background. We even got to anchor and jump into the ocean.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was how family-friendly it was. The crew went above and beyond to ensure my little one was comfortable even though he was crying. They were so incredibly nice!

Overall, our time aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was an absolute delight. We can't recommend it enough for families looking to create unforgettable memories in the stunning backdrop of Honolulu. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our experience so memorable!

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Pam

My husband and I really enjoyed the Sunset Snorkel Cruise! The views were beautiful and the crew were so nice! I was nervous about trying to snorkel but the crew was super helpful and I felt safe (life vest and I was able to use a floatie as well) and we saw lots of colorful fish and sea turtles! The cocktail service was great, tasty and generous. Unfortunately during the return portion of the cruise, I felt a bit seasick (did not really affect my enjoyment of the cruise though) so only ate rice for dinner but my husband enjoyed the food which was plentiful. If you are prone to motion sickness (which I am) that would be my only advice, I forgot my accupressure wristbands which do actually work fairly well. I liked that the group was small and we had the freedom to move around and sit and stand where we wanted and all the guests were pleasant and we felt comfortable socializing and getting to talk to other people. I highly recommend this cruise!

Missed the Boat

Reviewed by: Mystery Karr

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great

Pacific Star Buffet Package

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess

{Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff}

On 12/19/23 I went on Star of Honolulu, and participated in the Pacific Star Buffet Package. Finding the boat was easy due to it's large size. Walking up we were greeted by real hula dancers, that really set the vibe for the evening. Upon boarding the ship there was staff along the way that assisted in finding your section.

The ship is very large in size, and was so much fun to explore. The top deck was my favorite part, but definitely bring a sweater it can get a bit chilly! I recommend visiting the top deck as the sun is setting for your perfect kodak moment on the water, and once again when it gets' dark to see the beautiful city lights, and view of Diamond Head Crater.

The severs were very studious, and genuine when checking on our table. The buffet line went very quickly, hardly a wait at all! The food was delicious, with many options for all dietary needs. Being mainly plant based I was impressed by all the plant based sides, my favorite was the tofu salad! They even have a vegan patty upon request.

The show, and production was very engaging for the whole family. If you are traveling with a large group including children, I recommend the Pacific Star package there is something for everyone!

According to the captain, if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We were in Honolulu the day before, and a whale appeared, which heightened our spirits and allowed us to have an unexpectedly wonderful time.

2-Hour Moana Sailing Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Drink Included

Perfect Pre-Dinner Outing!!!

Reviewed by: Taylor C.

As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!

The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.

Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!

The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!

  • Our trip was pretty full but we were super comfortable and didn’t feel crowded!

  • Even though we had a super cloudy evening, still beautiful!

  • Diamond head!

Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Arlen

My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.

I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Disappointing evening

Reviewed by: Matilda

Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.
