Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Fantastic dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Shemika

I booked this dinner cruise for myself and my 10 year old. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the live entertainment. My 10 year clapped, danced and participated from his seat when the audience was asked to join in during the entertainment. I would definitely recommend.

Good food and good entertainment

Reviewed by: Christina

The food came out in good timing intervals. Good food. Drinks were okay. I ended up switching to wine as the mixed drinks were not my favorite. I enjoyed the entertainment. Even with a Dramamine I was still a bit nauseous until we got out of the harbor but once on the ocean everything was fine. Beautiful sunset and great view of Waikiki.

This was one of the best dinner cruises I've ever attended. The food was scrumptious and the entertainment was exhilarating. Also, we had one of the most professional and friendliest waitress. I can't forget to say the sunset was breathtaking.

Great Family Event

Reviewed by: Honolulu Headrick

There were 10 of us that had the opportunity to enjoy a fancy dinner on the waters off of Ohau. The age range of our party were from 2-72.

From the time we arrived and checked in we were treated courteously and made to feel welcomed! The music and dancing while we waited made the experience more exciting for my nephews (2,4, & 8 years old) and for my Brother and wife who have never been to Hawaii before. Once onboard we were greeted by the captain of the boat which thrilled them silly and kept my sister in law busy trying to get them to their seats.

We had the best waitress for our table! we always had something to drink and when we were undecided she was able to suggest drinks for the adults and kids. When the boys were unsure with dinner, our waitress brought more cheese and fruit. We never had to look for her she just knew and was always available.

We all enjoyed the dancing and even were invited to join in. My nephews danced their hearts out, along with my mom (the 72 year old) and my sister. The views from the top deck were specular and we got some great family pictures.
Defiantly an event we will remember!
Thank you to the staff aboard the Star of Honolulu! you were fantastic!

Outstanding Experience⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reviewed by: Rox and Rain

It was indeed an outstanding experience doing this sunset dinner cruise with Star of Honolulu. We super enjoyed the 5-course dinner, the overflowing cocktails, the champagne and most of all the live music and cultural dances. You even made the journey more easy with your smooth pick up and drop off. All the staff were great as well! Special mention to Manager Rose for an excellent service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We will be booking with you again when we come back. Aloha and Mahalo❤️

The cruise itself, staff and entire experience was wonderful and the views were breathtaking at sunset.
Service and dancers were outstanding and enjoyable to watch. Food was not all that great but otherwise a great time and worth the expense to experience it. I would definitely recommend to anyone to do this dinner cruise but do not have high expectations with the food.

花火鑑賞セーリング マカニ・カタマラン号 嬉しいドリンク付き!<ワイキキ送迎可/金曜日限定/ケワロ湾発>

It shakes quite a bit, so please be careful. そこそこ揺れますのでお気を付け下さい。

Reviewed by: ブラザー!

The size of the boat feels neither too big nor too small, but if you are cruising for the first time, I would recommend a slightly larger ship. I think it's better not to expect much from the meals on this type of tour. However, the fireworks viewed from the shore create a very nice atmosphere. Since it's a catamaran, it seems to have less rocking, but after all, it's a yacht, so if the wind picks up, it can rock quite a bit. By the way, during my time, there was hardly any rocking, but it's safe to assume that it will generally rock.

船のサイズは大きからず、小さからずという感じですが、初めてクルージングされるのであれば、もう少し大きな船をオススメします。この手のツアーでの食事は期待しない方が良いと思います。ただ岸からみる花火はとても雰囲気は良いです。カタマランですので揺れは少ないようですが、しかし所詮ヨットですので風が出てくれば、かなり揺れます。ちなみに私の時はほぼ揺れはなかったですが、基本揺れると思っておいて間違いないと思われます。

  • 船上から気持ち良いですよ!揺れること覚悟です!

  • 距離はありますが岸からの眺めはとても雰囲気goodです

Worth every penny.

Reviewed by: John bisby

You might be asking yourself if a sunset Cruise is worth it. I asked myself the same thing. I went with my wife and some family and had a great time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was really good and had lots of options. The shows were very entertaining and some where quite funny thanks to the performers. Then the sunset was great. We went on a Wednesday and it was not many people. Felt almost like we had the entire ship to ourselves. Super fun experience overall.

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 at night, the best location. 夜の海から見る花火、最高のロケーション

Reviewed by: あきらっち

I participated in my first sunset dinner sailing. The meeting place is quite small, so you might overlook it... Be careful not to arrive too early, as there won't be any staff present before the meeting time. Since the maximum number of passengers is limited, I recommend making a reservation early. It's a sunset cruise, so you can see the romantic views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea. The boat also raises its sails, so there’s no engine noise, allowing for a smooth drift over the water, leading to the evening fireworks.

初めてのサンセット・ディナーセーリングに参加。
集合場所はとてもこじんまりした所なので見落としちゃうかも・・・集合時間よりあまり早めに行くと係員が居ないので注意です。
最高乗船人数が少ないので早めの予約がオススメ。
サンセットクルーズなので夕暮れのダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを海側から見れてロマンチック。船も帆を立てるのでエンジン音もなく、スムーズに海を漂い、夜の花火へ

The experience was great. We loved the view from the ceiling and the Luau dance. One thing that could have been done better is the food choice (given the culinary taste that different people have). We didn’t like the fish and chicken served. Overall it was good.

Well done!

Reviewed by: Tom

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.

The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.

Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.

The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.

The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

Casual dinner and fireworks

Reviewed by: Ash

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

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

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.
