サンセット・ディナーセーリング スピリット・オブ・アロハ号 <金曜日限定/ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発>

The fireworks viewed from the sea were beautifully reflected against the backdrop of the hotels in Waikiki. 海上からの花火見学 ワイキキのホテル群をバックにきれいに映えてました

Reviewed by: penchan

I boarded the Aloha with about 30 participants from the pier. To prevent water and dirt from getting on our feet, we handed our belongings to the crew when boarding and received them back upon returning to the pier.

The two drink tickets given at check-in can be exchanged for drinks of your choice, but the crew will also serve drinks without tickets, so in a way, there are no restrictions. Apart from us, there was one couple and a man who boarded alone for photography, along with couples and families from overseas.

It was a bit chilly outside due to the strong wind, but it’s not a long voyage, so it’s manageable. The fireworks against the backdrop of the Hilton Hawaiian Village last only about five minutes, but they are as spectacular as the finale of a Japanese fireworks festival. This short evening activity is convenient to enjoy after daytime sightseeing or water play.

Although it’s called a buffet, it’s more of a light snack rather than a lavish spread. Enjoy the fireworks with the image of flowers rather than dumplings!

船着き場の突堤から30人ほどの参加者と一緒にアロハ号に乗り込みました。足元は水濡れや船内の汚れ防止のためか乗り込む際にクルーに預け、突堤に帰港した際、受け取ります。
チェックインの際に渡されたドリンクチケット2枚で飲みたいドリンクと交換ですが、チケットなしでもクルーが欲しいドリンクを出してくれるのである意味制限なしみたいなものです。日本人は我々以外にご夫妻が1組と単独で写真撮影のために乗船した男性一人 あとは海外からのカップル 家族でした。 船外は風が強くやや冷えますが長時間の航海ではないので大丈夫です。 ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジをバックに打ちあがる花火はわずか5分ほどですが、日本の花火大会で云うフィナーレのような打ち上げで華やかです。夕方からの短時間のアクティビティですので日中の観光や水遊びの後に楽しめるのでお手軽です。ビュッフェと云っても豪華なものではなくスナック程度の軽食と思っていただいた方がいいです。花より団子ではなく団子より花のイメージで花火を楽しまれるといいですよ

A good time memorable adventure

Reviewed by: Bill

It was a great sunset (as almost all are in Hawaii) meeting some new friends and having some fun with a lively crew. Would recommend for family entertainment as well as enjoyable for 'just the two' of you. It was great to have the pre-boarding show and get to meet some of the crew/cast. The food was good and the crew took very good care of of all.

This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!!

Go with the 5 Star!

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

  • A delicious and lovely vegan option

  • A salad so pretty I almost didn't want to eat it

  • Private reception and hula dance

Very elegant experience with great food and amazing live music

Reviewed by: Ashton

I would definitely recommend the Five Star package if you're having trouble deciding which package to choose from! It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!

Three star. I'm not sure I'd go again. And certainly not at that price.

Reviewed by: Yawn

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

Perfectly Elegant Evening

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Catherine Yu

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.

Beyond expectations!! 期待以上!!

Reviewed by: ひろひろりん

I had seen the Friday fireworks from Waikiki Beach several times, but when I found "Sailing," I thought, this is it!! There were about 50 people on board, and only four of us were Japanese, but it was reassuring to have Japanese language support. I was impressed by the hospitality of Captain Matthew and the staff, including Masa. There were plenty of drinks and a buffet, which made me very satisfied. The pleasant sea breeze and the fireworks in the night sky of Waikiki created wonderful memories. I highly recommend it to everyone!

ワイキキビーチからの金曜日花火は、何度か観ていたのですが「セーリング」を見つけてこれだ!!と。
満席(約50名)の中、日本人は4人でしたが日本語でも安心。マシュー船長はじめ、マサさん他スタッフのホスピタリティに感激。
飲み物、ビュッフェもたっぷりあって満足。心地よい潮風とワイキキの夜空の花火は、良い思い出になりました。みなさんも是非!

Great food! Great entertainment! Great scenery! Great service!

Reviewed by: Ortiz Family

The sunset dinner was truly a great experience. Everything was very well organized. We were served champagne to begin with and helped ourselves to fresh cheese, crackers and fruit trays. And those were left out for everyone the entire trip, which is beneficial when you have kids who might not like the whole dinner but still want to eat something. The entire dinner was fresh and tasty, and plentiful. Beverages were refilled as necessary but there weren't a lot of soda options. The sunset was beautiful. You just have to keep watch for the ideal time to take pictures of your experience. The entertainment was great, with music and dancers. Great experience overall!!

Will WORTH the MONEY

Reviewed by: Satisfied Guests

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

Excellent sunset dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Laurie Torchia

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.

Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

Perfect 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration!

Reviewed by: Mark & Selena Chino

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

The night view and fireworks seen from the seaside are the best. 海側から眺める夜景と花火は最高

Reviewed by: さとちゃん

The sunset in Waikiki offers a breathtaking view of the night scenery from the boat, and you can enjoy the fireworks without any obstructions. With light meals and alcohol, I had a great time feeling a bit tipsy among the high-energy passengers and the crew who spoke Japanese. It's also reassuring that there are restrooms on board. If there are many Japanese guests, they provide individual explanations in Japanese, which was very appreciated.

ワイキキのサンセット、夜景が船から一望でき、花火も視界を遮るものが何も無く堪能できます。軽い食事とアルコールでほろ酔い気分でハイテンションな乗客と日本語が通じるクルーのおもてなしでとても良い時間を過ごすことができました。トイレも船内にあるので安心です。日本人が多い場合は、日本語で個別に説明をしてくれるのでそこもありがたかったです。
