In May 2015, my spouse and I participated with my four parents. The reception staff member was easy to spot as he was setting up umbrellas on the beach in front of Outrigger Reef. The waves and wind were calm that day, and thankfully, there was no seasickness among the family, which I had been worried about. Drinks were unlimited, but to avoid using the boat's restroom, I limited myself to two of my favorite beers. The local staff spoke only English, but I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand everything. The young crew was very attentive.
The weather was great, and we enjoyed the same scenery as shown in the photos on the website. My parents, aged 79 and 75, were delighted and said they enjoyed it more than a large cruise ship. This is a recommended optional tour with good access and an affordable price.
2015年5月に私たち夫婦と私の両親4名で参加しました。
レセプションのおじさんはアウトリガーリーフ前のビーチにパラソルを立てていたのですぐにわかりました。この日は波も風も穏やかで、心配していた家族の船酔いもありませんでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、船のトイレを使わずにすむようにと、大好きなビールも2本で我慢しました。現地スタッフなので全て英語ですが、もし聞き取れなくても十分楽しめると思います。若いクルーが色々気を配ってくれます。
天候も良く、HPの紹介写真と同じ景色を楽しめました。79歳と75歳の両親も「大型客船よりも楽しめた」と喜んでいました。アクセスが良くお手軽価格のお勧めのオプショナルツアーです。

There were only the two of us who were Japanese. When the sunset appeared through the gaps in the clouds, everyone on board was thrilled and it was the best experience. The drinks included delicious cocktails, beer, and unlimited juice. It was said that if you buy a special container for $5, you can board first, and all 30 people bought it. As for the boarding location, if you use the corridor inside the Outrigger Reef Hotel, you can get there quickly without getting lost. If you don't know the location, the Japanese staff inside the Outrigger Reef Hotel will kindly help you if you show them your voucher, so please go to the meeting place from inside the hotel. (The outside route is hard to understand.) This course is not available through regular travel agency options, so it's a shame that there are so few Japanese people. The price is reasonable, and since the boat is a sailboat that lets the wind take you rather than a dinner cruise, the time passes very pleasantly. I did use the restroom, but it wasn't so dirty that I couldn't hold it. Even if you can't speak English well, interacting with foreigners is enjoyable. I definitely want to ride this boat again the next time I go to Hawaii. I recommend it.
日本人は、私たち2人だけでした。 夕日が、雲の隙間に出てきた時、乗っている皆で、感動の大騒ぎ 最高でした。飲み物は、美味しいカクテル、ビール、ジュース飲み放題でした。専用容器5ドルを買うと優先で、先に乗船できるということでしたが、30人皆買っていました。乗り組む場所ですが、アウトリガーリーフホテルの中の通路をつかうと迷う事なく早く行けます。場所が、わからなければ、アウトリガーリーフホテル内の日本語案内で、バウチャー見せるとやさしく教えてくれますので、ぜひホテル内から集合場所に行って下さい。(外回りは、分かりずらいです)このコースは、普通の旅行社のOPには、ないので、日本人が、少ないのは、残念ですね。お値段も安いし、ディナークルーズより船が、風まかせのヨットですので、とても気持ちよく時間が、過ぎます おトイレは、やはり私は、使ってしまいましたが、我慢できないほどの汚さでは、なかったです、 外国人との交流もうまく英語が、しゃべれなくても楽しいです。 次回ハワイにいく時もぜひこの船に乗りたいです。おすすめします。

Love, love, loved the dinner cruise. This was our first time in Hawaii and I must say I am happy that we chose this as one of the activities to attend to. From the very beginning when we got picked up from the hotel, welcoming at the cruise ship, dinner, entertainment and fireworks, this is definitely a night that will be forever cherished. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive especially our table server Rosey, she constantly made sure we had enough crab (purchased steak and all you can eat crab meal) and glasses were filled with drinks. Just AWESOME!!! The music and performers were great as well. At the end of the night we watched fireworks out on the deck. Overall my husband and I had a most memorable evening and recommend if you have not already done so this is one of the a Hawaii activities you don't want to miss!!!

My fiancee and I had a great time on the Sunset Sail. The check in process was very easy and fast. The 2 man crew were great as well. We enjoyed the great views and drinks from the water. I just wished the weather would have cooperated more. It was pretty cloudy and rained a little. However, we still had a great time overall! I would definitely recommend.

It was a windy day, so the boat rocked quite a bit. I think it might be difficult for those who are prone to seasickness.
The group of Americans on board was very lively, creating a party atmosphere, which made it a lot of fun.
The sunset is very beautiful, and you can enjoy stunning views of the 360° blue ocean and the hotels in Waikiki from the sea.
The all-you-can-drink option at this price is a great deal. However, the photo taken before boarding was a bit pricey at $20 each. It's not necessary to buy this, though...
風が強い日だったので、舟はかなり揺れました。船酔いする方には難しいかと思います。
乗り合わせたアメリカ人の団体さんがかなりテンション高く、船上パーティー状態だったので、かなり楽しかったです。
夕陽はとてもきれいですし、360°青い海と言う光景や、海側から見たワイキキのホテルなど、美しい眺めが楽しめます。
飲み放題でこの価格はお得です。
ただ、乗船前に撮った写真が1枚20ドルだったのはちょっと割高感があります。これは買わなくても良いのですが…。

It's my 3rd time with Star of Honolulu and they never fail to amaze me!
I was greeted with a beautiful smile by Kathleen at the ticket office. She was very nice, friendly, and it seems like she was enjoying her job. Before we boarded, the dancers are always very entertaining, a unique way to welcome their guests (yes, I've been to other dinner cruises and only Star of Honolulu has this great idea).
At the boat, here comes the cheerful and very energetic Freddie, who took us to our table. He didn't realize there were eight (8) of us but he was able to accommodate us right away having our own table by the window! He is the Assistant Floor Manager and I was really impressed with his friendliness and bright personality, he is funny too! The couples that we were with are visitors from Canada, celebrating their Silver Wedding Anniversary. I forgot to mention this special occasion when I made the booking so I told Freddie if there’s a way he can announce it after dinner. Knowing how busy they were, I never expected it to happen but I was extremely happy and grateful that he didn't forget. After the Polynesian entertainment, he immediately pulled my couple family towards the stage to make their dance. All the other couples, honeymooners, anniversary celebrants, followed. It was an honor!! Thank you so much Freddie for that, it was a memory of a lifetime for my family.
I would also like to give credit to Jay, who was our server that night, in fact all the crew members because they know how to take care of their guests, they're fast and attentive! The One Star package is not bad at all, I actually like this better than the Three Star believe it or not and IT'S ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!! Yummy! The steak was delicious also, so tender and juicy!
Will definitely cruise with Star of Honolu again and again! True "Aloha" spirit..good impression for those visiting the islands for the first time...greatly satisfied with the services they offer. Thumbs up SOH!!

The sunset cruise departing at 5:30 PM was fully booked. There was a group of Australians, a couple of families with children, and couples from the West Coast, and we were the only Japanese participants. When boarding the yacht, you toss your shoes into a large plastic bucket and board barefoot. Some people took off their sneakers, but flip-flops are the best choice. When disembarking, you'll end up flipping the bucket over on the sandy beach to find your shoes, so it's a good idea to mark expensive sandals. The wind and scenery were fantastic. We encountered whales and saw splashes, and a sea turtle swam by us, making for a fulfilling two hours. The meeting point on the beach and the reception area were somewhat easy to find.
17:30出港のサンセットクルーズ、定員フルでした。
オージーの団体さん、子供連れの2〜3ファミリー、西海岸からのカップルなどで、邦人は我々だけでした。
ヨットに乗り込む際に履物を大きなポリバケツに放り込んで裸足で乗船します。
スニーカーを脱ぐ人もいましたが、ビーサンがベストです。下船時に砂浜にバケツをひっくり返して自分の履物を探すことになるので、高価なサンダルとかは目印しといたほうがいいです。
風と景色いうことありません。クジラにも遭遇しスプラッシュを見れたし、ウミガメが側を泳いだりと充実した2時間でした。
ビーチの集合場所、受付もなんとなく判ります。

I wanted to do something special for my daughter and friend and thought a dinner cruise would be wonderful. I went the extra mile and extra money to upgrade to a window seat . I did the reservation almost three to four weeks in advance Upon boarding we were seated next to the wall. The third window seat was not a window seat but just behind the window seat. If I leaned up and out I could see.
When I asked to be moved I asked the manager if I could be seated next to the window she stated they were full and she offered a bottle of wine, as I don't drink I asked her to treat me like she would treat her mother, and that is when she told me her mother was nice, implying I wasn't. I had thought I had been nice up to that point I had just wanted to see as that is what I had paid for this time(I have been on this tour before and sat in the middle ) They did offer us an upgrade and a nice private table, meaning quiet, back near the door as to not see the show. The upgraded meal was delicious and as we had all lived in Oahu the show was not really missed. I am not sure I would recommend this tour unless you upgraded to the dinner and not the buffet. I would recommend a maximum of two for the window seating and make sure you state near the wall does not count. Other than the manager's attitude which I allowed to bother me, the servers were efficient, courteous and friendly.

Incredible views of Honolulu & Diamond head, nice breeze, a fun crew, and all you can drink Mai Tais, what could be better?
My wife & I were really glad we chose the sunset catamaran over the night (fireworks) one, as it got a bit chilly after the sunset... especially if you happen to get wet. If you enjoy being at the front of the catamaran, I would recommend a swimsuit, as you'll probably get wet. Also, if you choose the Friday night catamaran, just be aware that fireworks are only about 10 minutes long at around 7:45pm.
Otherwise, this is a must, enjoy it!

It was a very special time. The staff all spoke English. They also provided explanations about the restrooms and other things. It was on a boat. There was an all-you-can-drink option. Almost everyone ordered a Mai Tai cocktail. They were very accommodating with refills. There were also other drinks available, including sparkling wine and white wine. Knowing it was all-you-can-drink, I brought some snacks. I wasn't particularly scolded for eating, and it felt like it was okay. An overseas guest who was on board praised it as the best Mai Tai they had ever had. It was very easy to drink.
When getting on and off the boat, your feet can get wet. I recommend bringing a towel or a cover-up. The staff is very kind and offers to help.
The view from the boat is amazing. The sunset over the horizon was beautiful, and we were able to see the sun setting.
It was very special time.
とても素敵な時間でした。スタッフは全員が英語でした。トイレなどの説明もしてくれました。船にあります。飲み放題でした。マイタイカクテルをほぼ全員が注文。おかわりも、快くいれてくれます。また、ちがうドリンクやスパークリングワインや白ワインなどもありました。飲み放題と知ってたので、スナックを持ち込みました。特に食べていて注意されたりはなく、オッケーという感じでした。一緒に乗っていた海外の方はこれまでに飲んだマイタイの中で一番おいしいと絶賛していました。とても飲みやすかったです。
船に乗り込むときやおりるときに足がぬれます。タオルやはおりものを一枚もっていくのをおすすめします。スタッフが手を貸してくれたりします。とても親切でした。
船からの景色は最高です。水平線に夕日がきれいで、太陽が沈むところまでみれました。

There are various cruises, but I think this one is the best. First of all, it's close to nature! You can feel the waves and the wind while boarding barefoot. It's also great that you can take pictures with the cheerful staff and enjoy free drinks. Soaking in the romantic atmosphere while watching the sunset is the best. It would be even better if I could speak more English.

Do not skimp on this cruise... The window seating is spacious and the views are breathtaking! And when you arrive back@ the Harbor, you will be allowed off first. No cramped, uncomfortable seating and no waiting for your meal or to exit off. We're not impatient people but when you have small children and want the views this upgrade is worthy.
