The view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing! The captain and crew were very friendly, and I had a great time! They even let me sit in the pilot's seat and took pictures for me. It became a wonderful memory!

I had some waiting time before departure, so I was able to relax and take photos. There was a diverse crowd, including people from Europe and Asia. We were the only Japanese people there. I didn't fully understand the explanations in English, but I managed to grasp the gist of it!
The attire ranged from luxurious outfits to people in shorts and sandals, so there didn't seem to be a dress code. I tend to get seasick, so I didn't eat anything, and it was quite cold at the end of November, but I stayed outside the whole time. When my companion tried to get a refill, the meat was gone, but it seemed there were still plenty of potatoes left. The cookies they distributed were delicious.
The staff were kind, taking photos for us and being very attentive. It was disappointing that we couldn't see the orange sunset >_<. However, I was happy to see a small dolphin! I was quite satisfied with the views of Diamond Head and the hotel nightscape. I recommend this tour for active individuals.
出発まで待ち時間があったので、写真を撮ったりしてゆっくりできました。多国籍な感じでヨーロッパ圏やアジア圏の方もおられました。日本人は私たちだけでした。英語での説明はわからなかったですが、なんとなく理解しました!
服装はラグジュアリーな感じの方から、短パンにサンダルみたいな方もいて、ドレスコードはなさそうでした。
私は船酔いしやすいので食事は取らず、11月末で寒かったですが、ずっと外にいました。連れがお代わりしようとすると肉とかはなくなっていましたが、イモとかはまだ余っていたようです。配ってくれたクッキーは美味しかったです。
スタッフの方は親切で写真を撮ってくれたり、気配りもバッチリでした。オレンジの夕日が見られなかったのが残念でした>_<
小さなイルカが見れたのは嬉しかったです!
ダイヤモンドヘッドとかホテルの夜景を見れて かなり満足です。アクティブな方にオススメのツアーです。

My husband and I attended the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise on 12/06/17. When we had First checked in we were greeted by a nice lady and apologized and told my husband he was not wearing the proper attire for the night. He was wearing khakis and flip flops. The nice thing is they were accommodating going so far as letting borrow shoes and pants for the night. I was so happy cuz we had limited time and wouldn’t be able to reschedule. And it was my fault at not looking for a dress code when I booked it. Once we got on the boat we were greeted by the captain! He was super nice and well dressed (everybody was). The dancers, entertainment and food was AMAZING! Not to mention the excellent customer service they made sure they took care of all our needs. We will definitely do this again whenever we come back! Must do!!!

I think everyone feels the same way, but before leaving for Japan, I imagined "blue seas and skies" and planned fun optional tours. However, Hawaii isn't always sunny! Especially for ocean activities, the weather can lead to either amazing memories or disappointing results.
The sunset dinner cruise I booked this time had bad weather, with cloudy skies throughout, so I didn't have high expectations... but the result was very good! The gently rocking boat, combined with the friendliness of the crew, created a very pleasant atmosphere.
Seeing the lights of the hotels in Waikiki from the sea and a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the boat was wonderful. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but it became a great memory that you can't experience on land. I would love to participate again next time, on a sunny day!
皆さん同じだと思うのですが、日本を発つ前は「青い海と空」を思い描き楽しいオプショナルツア―を組みます。でも、ハワイは晴の日ばかりじゃないんですねぇ!!
特に海系は天候次第で最高の思い出になったり、ガッカリの結果だったり。
今回予約したこのサンセットディナクルーズ、当日は天候も悪く終始曇り空、あまり期待せずに…、、、でも結果はとてもgood!
適度に揺れる船内はクルーの人懐っこさも相まって、とても和やかでした。
洋上から見るワイキキのホテルの灯り、船を追い越そうと泳ぐイルカの群れ、
残念ながら夕日を見る事は叶いませんでしたが、地上では味わえない良い思い出になりました、又次回も参加したいです、晴れの日に!

My husband and I took the Star of Honolulu Dinner Jazz Cruise on 10/22/2017. This was one of the best meals I have ever had. You are treated as royalty as soon as you check in. On check in, we found out that this level of dinning (there are 3 levels) requires men to wear long pants. This was booked as a surprise gift for my husband and I totally forgot to have him pack pants. The staff was great and got my husband a pair of slacks that they keep on hand. We were escorted from the check in to the boat and then by another attendant to the ship were we took photos with the Captain. Then the luxury begins. We have complementary welcome about cocktails and 3 amazing appetizers. Our waiter Forrest escorted us to our table. The meal is 7 courses, but each is small so you are able to finish. Each dish was amazing. At desert you are offered a coffee and can include an addition of coffee liquor. They have premium spirits aboard and you get two free drink tickets in your package. There a constant flux in hula shows and then a jazz show. They were very good. I highly recommend the rainbow colored martini, yummy. The staff all went an extra mile to make this the best experience ever.

We participated as a couple. We arrived 15 minutes late for the pickup. Naturally, there was no sign of embarrassment, and we were taken to the yacht harbor. Well, I suppose we can say this is the pace of a tropical country. However, it can be a bit unsettling if you're unsure whether you're in the right place.
The cruise was on a medium-sized boat. It had a large sail, so I guess it falls into the category of a yacht. When we think of a cruise, we often imagine a luxury liner, but I believe any boat that sails on the sea can be considered a cruise in that sense. I was aware of this from other reviews, so it didn't particularly bother me, and the price was low, so it was to be expected. The wind we felt while cruising and the views we saw were fantastic. I would definitely want to use this service again. The boat had little rocking, and no one was feeling seasick. Also, we were lucky enough to see dolphins. However, it gets cold on the way back. Once the sun sets, it can be quite chilly, so it's necessary to prepare with a hoodie or something similar.
Regarding dinner, you simply take 5 or 6 types of side dishes onto your plate and eat them, so it's like a lunch plate. It's best not to have high expectations. You should come with the mindset of enjoying the cruise itself.
カップルで参加してきました。
迎えには15分遅れで到着。当然のように悪びれるそぶりはなく、ヨットハーバーまでの送迎でした。まぁこの辺は、南国の時間とでも言いましょうか。ただ分かっていればいいのですが、この場所で合ってるのか等不安になります。
クルーズは、中型船でのクルーズでした。大きな帆がありましたので、ヨットの部類に入るんでしょうか。クルーズというと豪華客船のような船をイメージしがちですが、船で海を走ればどんな船でもクルーズという意味でクルーズだと思います。この点は、他の方の口コミで分かっていたので特に気にならなかったですし、値段も安いのでそんなもんです。クルーズしながら浴びる風、見える景色は最高でした。また、利用したいと思えるものでした。船も揺れは少なく、よっている人はいませんでした。また、偶然イルカも見れて良かったです。ただ、帰りは寒いです。日が沈むとかなり寒いので、パーカー等の準備が必要です。
ディナーに関しては、5,6種類のおかず等を自分の皿にとってそれを食べるだけなので、ランチプレートのようなものです。あまり期待をしない方がいいです。あくまでも、クルーズのみを楽しみに来たと割りきるべきです。

The staff were friendly, the ship was clean and we enjoyed the food and entertainment. The entertainers, from the dancers to the musicians on our deck, were fun to watch and listen to. The food was tasty and the portions were generous. The only downside, in my opinion, was that they served dinner immediately after setting sail. Given that sunset was 30 mins after we sailed, we either had to choose to watch the sunset and let our food get cold, or eat our food and miss the sunset. We had plenty of time to eat, so I wish they had waited until after sunset to serve the food.

My wife and I were recently transferred from the mainland and celebrated our 41st Anniversary here in Honolulu without our family, So we thought a seven course meal sunset dinner meal cruise with Jazz entertainment would an ideal way to celebrate our weddding anniversary. Coincidentally we were sitted next to another couple from Chicago who just renewed their wedding vows after 41 years of marriage also and found a lot in common with them (same age of children and grandchildren and pathway in life), thus truly enjoyed each company - for they were traveling by themselves as well. The Captain, the crew were great (especially Foster our server), the service was fantastic, and the food was great. And of course the entertainment and the ambiance with sunset backdrop and Waikiki ocean shore scenery made it memorable.
Here's what you can expect from Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment / Three Star Steak and Lobster Dinner with Jazz entertainers.
Coast over the calm water of Waikiki aboard the most popular dinner cruise in Hawaii, where you
will be treated to live music, top dining and spectacular views.
Upon arrival at Aloha Tower Pier, you will be guided to the top deck, where the captain and crew are waiting to treat you to a Hawaiian Belini toast and seasonal appetizers. A sophisticated way to start off an elegant evening at sea.
7-Course Dinner
Served in the luxurious top-deck Super Nova room, this premium French-style dinner menu features only the best seasonal ingredients picked and prepared by expert chefs. Maine lobster and top-quality beef tenderloin are sure to be highlights of the meal.
Drink Service
As a Five Star dinner guest, the full drink menu is available for you to order from. Up to three super premium beverages are included with your meal.

When you think of Hawaii, you think of cruising, so I decided to participate. The boat was about the size of a cross between a cruiser and a yacht; however, if you are prone to seasickness, you should take motion sickness medication in advance, as there can be enough rocking to make you feel sick. I had a coupon for one free drink, but when I upgraded to a larger size, I was charged normally. All the staff were locals, so if you don't speak English, it can be difficult to understand these things. The food was light snacks, so that was a bit of a letdown. On the day of the cruise, there was also a rainbow, and the weather was nice, so overall, I was fairly satisfied.
ハワイといえばクルージングと思い、参加しました。
クルーザとヨットの中間くらいの大きさの船でした、ただし船酔いがひどい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおかないと、船酔いするくらいの揺れはあります。
ドリンク1杯無料のクーポンを持っていたのにサイズを大きくしたら、普通にお金をとられました。スタッフは全員現地の人なので、英語が話せないとこの辺がよくわからないです。料理は軽食だったのでそこです。当日は虹もでていて、天気も良かったので総合的にはそれなりに満足できました。

I was a bit disappointed. I was excited for my first cruise. The pickup was 20 minutes late, and I became anxious, so I called the Hawaiian company from my Japanese phone. They said they were delayed. The microbus arrived over 30 minutes late. I had to sit in a jump seat on a full bus, and the driver confirmed names without apologizing for the delay before we departed. The ship was also full, and it started to rain heavily with high waves, so everyone went inside. This time, there were not enough meals for the number of people, and they sold out quickly, which was funny.
The rain intensified, and many people started to feel seasick. We were given buckets and water. By the time we were returning, the rain had stopped, and we could see the night view of Waikiki. On the way back, we had to wait again, and since it had rained, there were no seats available. My mother, who is over 80, ended up feeling unwell the next day. If the driver and the weather had been better, it might have turned into a good memory.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service you expected.
I have confirmed the situation with the operating company on the day of the tour. As I reported in a separate email, there was heavy traffic due to bad weather, which caused delays in the pickup time. I apologize for making you wait for a long time at your travel destination, which must have caused you anxiety. I have requested that the company contact customers in advance if they are unable to arrive at the promised time. Additionally, I have strictly warned the operating company to provide a proper explanation and apology in cases where delays are unavoidable.
Regarding the meals, I have received a report from the operating company that they provided food according to the number of people, but I am very sorry to hear that you were not satisfied. I have conveyed your feedback directly to the operating company.
Lastly, due to the bad weather on the day, I understand that you could not enjoy the sunset cruise, and your mother had to stay outside for a long time in the bad weather, which must have been a difficult experience during your trip to Hawaii. The operating company reported that the captain and staff did their best to ensure that customers could enjoy themselves, but I deeply apologize for not being able to provide the expected level of service.
We take your words seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to see the sunset from the ocean, so I booked this tour. It's a yacht rather than a large boat, so it sways more than I expected! I think it's better to be out on the deck and feel the wind rather than stay inside.
As soon as we set sail, drinks were served, and after a while, there was a buffet-style dinner. Although no one spoke Japanese, the staff was very friendly, so I didn't have any issues. We set sail at 5 PM, and by before 6 PM, the drinks and dinner were finished. I thought to myself, "Do I really have to stay in this sway for over an hour?" but on the way back, the swaying stopped due to the direction of the waves, and I was able to enjoy the much-anticipated sunset and relax.
It may depend on the day, but I think those who are not prone to seasickness will enjoy it even if it sways.
せっかくハワイに来たので海からのサンセットが見たくこちらのツアーを予約。
大型船ではなくヨットなので思っていた以上に揺れる!
室内にいるよりデッキに出て風に当たる方がいいと思います。
出航してすぐドリンクが提供され、しばらくしてバイキング形式のディナー。日本語は全く通じませんがスタッフはとてもフレンドリーで困ることはありませんでした。
17時に出航して18時前にはドリンクとディナーが終了、まだ1時間以上もこの揺れの中いるのかぁ、、と一瞬挫けそうになりましたが戻りは波の向き的に揺れがなくなり期待のサンセットを見たりのんびり過ごせました。
日にもよると思いますが揺れても大丈夫な船酔いに強い方は楽しめると思います。

During my 7-day stay in Hawaii, I arranged various optional tours, but the sunset dinner cruise was the most memorable. The boat is a slightly larger catamaran yacht, so there was hardly any rocking, allowing us to enjoy the sunset in a calm atmosphere. In Hawaii, there are many Japanese tourists everywhere, and while there are tours with a 100% participation rate of Japanese people, this tour had a lower percentage of Japanese guests, which made it enjoyable to converse with multilingual tourists in English.
However, there are a couple of downsides:
1. Although it's called a buffet, it's not an all-you-can-eat experience. For example, there are restrictions like "two pieces per person." It means you can eat what you like, but only in specified quantities. Japanese people might associate buffet with all-you-can-eat, so this is something to be aware of.
2. At the check-in counter, Westerners were allowed to check in before the designated time, while Japanese guests were told to "wait until the time," which felt discriminatory. After persistent negotiation, I was finally allowed to check in, but for Japanese guests with limited English skills, they might end up feeling helpless. Since boarding is done in the order of check-in, securing your spot is very important.
7日間のハワイ滞在で、いろいろなオプショナルターを組みましたが、その中でもこのサンセット・ディナークルーズが一番の記念になりました。船はすこし大きめのカタマランヨットですので、ほとんど揺れがなく落ち着いてサンセットが楽しめました。ハワイはどこに行っても日本人が多く、参加率100%日本人のツアーもある中、このツアーは日本人率が低く、多言語の観光客と(英語で)お話をすることもできて楽しめます。
難点は、
①ビュフェとありますが、いわゆる食べ放題ではありません。たとえば「これは一人二個まで」などの制限があります。「好きなものを決まった分量まで食べてよいですよ」という意味です。日本人はビュフェ=食べ放題というイメージでしょうから注意が必要です。
②チェックインカウンターでは、西洋人はチェックイン開始時間前に受付していながら、日本人は「時間までまて」と差別を受けました。しつこく交渉してやっと受付てもらえましたが、英語力のない日本人だと泣き寝入りでしょう。受付順に乗船して席を確保しますので、受付順は非常に重要です。

We had a wonderful time out on the Makani Catermeran this week. The crew was very friendly, funny and accomodating. The boat ride was also very smooth ( per the weather conditions ) and all of us looked like we had a great time. We never felt cramped, the boat was plenty large enough. Food was pretty good as well as the drinks!!! We stuffed our selves! One of the crew even fished as we sailed along, unfortunately nothing was caught this time out. The views of waikiki and diamond head were amazing! It was great to get to see the skyline from the ocean. The sunset was beautiful and was timed great on our way back! Thank you everyone at Makani Catameran!

The dinner cruise we participated in was completely different from any other dinner cruise we've been on. First, we were picked up at 4 PM, which felt early for a dinner cruise.
The boat was small with an open bottom, making it feel like it was on skis. On the day we went, we were the only Japanese guests, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, everything was in English, but that was fine.
As soon as we set sail, a buffet-style meal began. However, the selection was limited, and it wasn't really what you would call a dinner buffet. There were too few tables for everyone to eat at the same time. Up to that point, I thought this cruise was a bit disappointing, but I was surprised when we went out onto the deck. The waves were high that day, and the boat was moving at an incredible speed, riding over the waves like surfing, which was really thrilling. It felt like the boat itself was an attraction, and while I was scared it might capsize, I had a lot of fun. The other guests were also very excited.
There was a deck at the front of the boat where you could stand and get splashed with water. The front area had a net-like seating arrangement, allowing us to see the ocean below through the mesh. It was quite impressive. Instead of enjoying a meal on the dinner cruise, we found a different kind of enjoyment and were very satisfied. I recommend wearing casual clothes that you don't mind getting wet.
After the thrilling experience, we slowly moved towards Diamond Head, where we enjoyed a peaceful moment that was quite different from earlier. During sunset, we had a relaxing time and took many photos. The tour ended when the sun went down, so we returned earlier than on a typical dinner cruise. By the time we left, even though we couldn't communicate well, the Americans who were also on the cruise made an effort to communicate with us, which was enjoyable.
I wouldn't recommend this for those who want to enjoy a dinner, but for those who want to experience the thrill of the boat, it was an excellent cruise.
参加したディナークルーズは今まで参加したディナークルーズとは全く違いました。まず迎えに来てもらうのが16時。ディナークルーズにしては早いなって思いながらの参加でした。
船は小さく船底が開いている…船がスキー板をはいている感じです。参加した日は日本人は私たち夫婦だけでした。スタッフも日本語が話せないので全て英語でしたが大丈夫でした。
出航するとすぐにバイキング形式の食事が始まりました。食事と言っても品数は少なくてとてもディナーバイキングと呼べる料理ではありませんでした。テーブルも少なくて全員が一斉には食事出来ない席数です。ここまではこのクルージングはいまいちかと思っていましたがデッキへ出てびっくりしました。私が参加した日は波が高くて沖にすごいスピードで船が進んで行くので波乗りのように波を渡っていきそれはそれはすごい迫力でした。船そのものがアトラクションのようで転覆しないかとすごく怖かったけどすごく楽しかったです。外人さん達も大盛り上がりでした。船の先端にデッキがありそこに立つと水しぶきですごく濡れます。前方は網で編んだような座れるところになっていて下は海が網の目から見れます。すごい迫力です。ディナークルーズで食事を楽しむよりは違った楽しみ方で大満足でした。服は濡れてもいいようにカジュアルが良いと思います。アトラクションのようなスリルの後はゆっくり進んでダイヤモンドヘッドが見れて先ほどとは違った静かな時間が流れました。サンセットの時もゆったりした時間で写真もたくさん撮れました。日が沈むと終了のツアーなので通常のディナークルーズより帰りは早いです。帰る頃には言葉は通じないけど参加していたアメリカの人達が一生懸命コミュニケーションをとってくれて楽しかったです。ディナーを楽しみたい人にはあまりおすすめしませんが船の迫力を楽しみたい人には最高のクルージングでした。
