The crew was amazing and wonderful. They went out of their way to make sure you felt welcomed, drinks were awesome and Josiah entertained and took pictures of all the guests! This crew works tirelessly to ensure all the guests have an amazing time on their boat! We would this trip again in a heartbeat! The viewing of the sunset was spectacular!

My boyfriend and I had a great time on this catamaran. Great music and generous with drinks too lol. The drinks weren’t very strong, it was mostly juice but not a big deal. Super great price. Would go again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Night Cruise into Happiness last night with the Star of Honolulu crew and amazing entertainment
We did this cruise 41 years ago and it was just amazing then and spectacular now! The steak and lobster with the attentive crew made for a flawless experience! The main singer carried your spirit to the best times. We also loved the smooth jazz music Finally the Hawaiian dancers made us feel like true Ohana ❤️
Mahalo for another superb evening

It was my first time on a catamaran, and I enjoyed the beautiful views without feeling seasick. The staff were friendly, taking photos and conversing in Japanese, which showed their hospitality. It was refreshing to see Diamond Head from the sea, and the moment the sunset occurred was truly moving. I would like to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii.
カタマラン、初めてだったのですが酔うこともなく終始美しい眺めを堪能できました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーで写真を撮ってくれたり、日本語で会話してくれたりとホスピタリティーに溢れていました。ダイヤモンドヘッドを海上から眺めるのは新鮮でしたし、何より夕陽が落ちる瞬間が感動的でした。またハワイに来た時は利用したいと思います。

The crew speaks in fast English, and I don't understand at all. I was completely ignored. I couldn't enjoy it at all. I learned the location of the restroom by watching other people go, and I didn't understand the safety instructions, yet I was made to sign a waiver before boarding. In Japan, they would at least be a little accommodating to tourists. Here, there is none.
クルーは早口の英語で話しますが、全くわかりません。完全無視されます。
まったく楽しめませんでした。
トイレの場所は、他の人が行くのを見てしりましたし、安全の説明はわからないままなのに、乗船前には、免責のサインかかされました。
日本なら観光客に少しくらい寄り添ってくれます。

The experience was great! The food was good and the service great. We did the 3-star dinner and it was so much fun. We did the private table upgrade, which is worth the extra cost. Also, pay a little extra to have them pick you up with their shuttle service. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!!!

Everything was in English, which was difficult for me, but a Japanese person who was with us was fluent in English and helped me a lot. It was a bit disappointing that there were some clouds, but it was a very Hawaiian tour.

The sailing was just over an hour from Waikiki Beach, and we were blessed with great weather and the best location! We were lucky to see tuna, dolphins doing flips, and a mother and baby dolphin jumping as well. The Mai Tai service was good. We were the only Japanese guests, but everyone was friendly, and we had a wonderful time!

After making a reservation through VELTRA, I received an SMS with information in English about the meeting place and consent form. It might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English.
On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy and it was quite windy, which caused the boat to sway a lot, and I felt seasick the entire time. Although drinks were unlimited, I didn't feel like drinking alcohol in such rough conditions, so it was hard to get my money's worth.
Because of the clouds, I couldn't see much of the sunset either. Overall, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointing trip.
VELTRA経由で予約した後にSMSで英語の集合場所や同意書に関する案内が来ました。英語がわからないとややハードルが高いかもしれません。
乗った日の天候は曇りかつ風が強かったためか、船がものすごく揺れまして、始終船酔いでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、この揺れの中でお酒をガンガン飲む気分にはなれず、元を取るのは難しいと思われます。
曇りのためあまり夕日も見れず。
ちょっとがっかりな旅になりました。

The first time I saw the fireworks, it was great, but afterwards it was just drifting, so I think it would have been better if it had been shorter. Also, the music was loud like rock, and more relaxing music would have helped me unwind.
最初に花火を見た時は良かったが、その後は漂っているだけだったので、もっと短い時間で良かったと思う
また音楽もロックの様なうるさいもので、もっとゆったりした音楽の方がリラックス出来た

I signed up to experience something I usually wouldn't do in Japan. Unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, and we didn't get to see a beautiful sunset, but I had so much fun that I forgot about that. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was like a "Wanko Mai Tai" instead of "Wanko Soba," with Mai Tais being poured one after another. They also give you small bags of snacks, which makes you want to drink more.
There weren't many Japanese participants, but the receptionist, Miko, spoke Japanese. The staff's talk on the boat was in English, so I regretted not understanding the witty jokes. Next time, I want to join the fireworks sailing.
普段日本ではやらないことを体験したくて申し込みました。
生憎参加した日は雲が多く、きれいなサンセットではありませんでしたが、そんなこと忘れるくらい楽しかったです。
飲み放題アルコールは、マイタイが次々注がれる『わんこ蕎麦』ならぬ『わんこマイタイ』状態。スナック菓子の小袋がもらえるのでまたお酒が進みます。
日本人参加者はほとんどいませんが、受付のミコ嬢は日本語OKでした。
船上でのスタッフさんのトークは英語なので、軽妙なジョークが分からなかったのは悔しいなぁ。
次回は花火のセーリングに参加したいです。

The drinks were great and the appetizer platter they present to each person was delicious! Shrimp, fresh fruit, hummus and crackers, cheese...yum! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and they gave us roses and champagne as a special VDay treat. Thanks everyone!

To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry you did not enjoy your time onboard with us! If needed, we do have Japanese Waivers available at check-in. We also sail rain or shine! Only in cases where the captain deems it 'un-sailable' is when we would cancel. Weather in Hawaii can be a little unpredictable at times.
