Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Beautiful setting!

Reviewed by: Mercy

It was such a beautiful setting much nicer than others I’ve been to. The food was just ok and there was too much pause from the entertainment. They wanted people to spend money at their gift shop and buy a portrait. The band would stop playing during these periods.

Great Food!

Reviewed by: Mercy

The food was delicious and the cruise was very nice. The only thing is there were too many tables and left no room for the entertainment. There should have been a better stage set up.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Fun at sea

Reviewed by: Torres Family

I appreciated leaving on time from the harbor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The ride
allowed us to see the beautiful Kaneohe Bay. We were given ample time on the soundbar which is breathtaking. Snorkeling was also a lot of fun and we see a number of turtles. The lunch and service was great.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour

Reviewed by: Angel

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Great day on the water!

Reviewed by: kp123

This was a great experience! We stayed in Waikiki and the pick-up and drop-off was amazing, especially at the end of the day since we were able to sleep on the shuttle home. Swimming around and playing volleyball on the sandbar was fun! The crew did a good job getting the passengers involved. After lunch we drove around and saw sea turtles before heading to the reef to snorkel. It was our first time snorkeling, but the crew was helpful making sure we were comfortable with the gear. We had a blast! Would definitely book this if you're looking to maximize your time with activities.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Review

Reviewed by: The Sager’s

The grounds are beautiful, but it was just an average experience in our opinion. This luau show itself was low energy and our bus leader was on the over stressed and anxious side. The pre show had all sorts of activities going on that made the experience more enjoyable for anyone with kiddos. The lines for drinks were plentiful and went very well. The buffet food lines seemed to be going in the wrong or opposite direction, as one had to traverse everyone in line with a full plate of food.

Paradise cove luau on the beach at Ko Olina Resort

Reviewed by: Buckner family

My overall experience at this resort was that it was a beautiful place to enjoy and experience laughter, family, love and great music. The resort overall was beautiful sensory with singing and luau dancers dancing next to the ocean. There were items that we didn’t like for example the food. The food was cold and very uncomfortable unclean. What I mean by this is that it was more like a buffet before COVID was established., no one was serving our food and we had to serve ourselves, just a recipe for disaster. Our seating arrangements at the luau were very confusing too, we given a guide to seat us, to sit us by a number system arranged on the tables., with the number of people at this luau their so be a better system on how they seat people for a better experience.

The transportation to and from the place makes it such a smoother process! Everyone on the crew were really amazing and sweet! We had so much fun and it's definitely something everyone should do if it's their first time visiting. The only thing is that they don't have towels, so bring your own!

Star of Honolulu Luxury Sunset Dinner Cruise with Drinks, Private Table & Jazz

Elegant and memorable activity with breathtaking views and wonderful music/atmosphere

Reviewed by: Eric

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.

5スターコースを利用しましたが、
集合時間を間違えて出港ギリギリの時間になってしまい、ウェルカムイベント等には参加できませんでした。
でもスタッフの方々は嫌な顔せずに丁寧に対応していただきました。船長との記念写真も時間を過ぎていましたが特別に撮影してもらえました。
料理の前にドリンク券を3枚×2人分もらいました。テーブルにはコースメニューや日没の時間(月毎に時間が違います)、生演奏のスケジュールが載ったものが置いてます。料理の途中で一旦離席して5スター専用デッキで日没を見ることもできます。なので、1番最初に日没の時間を確認することをお勧めします。料理の量は適量でとても美味しかったです。
ウェイターさんがこまめに気をつかって話しかけてくださいました。

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation

Great snorkeling fun!

Reviewed by: Christine

This was a great experience for me and my family. The kids had never been snorkeling and it had been a long time for me. I like that we had transportation from the hotel, and then a fun boat ride. They had life vests and snorkeling gear. The stop at the sandbar was fun because we decided to get used to the snorkeling gear while others played volleyball. And my daughter doesn’t swim so she was getting comfortable in the water there. Lunch was great, a nice bbq on the boat. And then the snorkeling was so cool! By the way there’s a ladder down into the water (especially good for kids but all the adults used it too.) We saw a lot of sea turtles on the way to our spot. And also while swimming. And as you know or will hear, you have to back up from them and give them 10 feet of space. But they are majestic! So cool to see the reef and all the tropical fish. My son especially loved it. The crew was all very great and helpful. I think it’s a great trip and we are glad we did it!

Star of Honolulu Luxury Sunset Dinner Cruise with Drinks, Private Table & Jazz

The Best Way to Experience Oahu Sunset

Reviewed by: Greg H

This is truly a 5-star luxury experience and the best Oahu sunset dinner cruise. From start to finish you are treated like royalty by friendly and helpful staff. We had the package that includes transportation to and from Waikiki and 4 drinks each (1 Captain's Bellini drink and 3 premium drink tickets). When you arrive you are greeted by dancers, the crew, and captains. You have an opportunity to meet the captains and get amazing photos before setting off on the cruise. The boat was very accessible with elevators to each of the decks. The 5-star luxury SuperNova deck is beautiful and spacious. You are treated to a 7-course dinner and live jazz trio band. At any point you are free to roam the private top deck area for incredible photos of Oahu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, ocean, and sunset. I would advise anyone who signs up for the 5-star luxury deck to wear the appropriate attire (business to formal). I don't think you would be allowed boarding with swimsuits or t-shirts. Dress pants, sneakers and collared shirts should be fine for men, but be aware some guests will dress very formal and be celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, etc. We highly recommend the 5-star luxury dinner experience as it was one of our favorite parts of our Hawaii trip.

船上で過ごす優雅で特別な時間でした

Reviewed by: ピピやま

ハネムーンで5スターのプランに参加しました。
泊まっているホテルに送迎があり、そこで参加の証であるシール(胸あたりに貼るよう指示)やドリンク券1人3枚ずつが渡されます。ワクワクしながらあっという間に船が停まっている港に到着。
船の入口へ向かうと、参加者の列ができていましたが、胸に貼ったシールを確認したのか5スターの方のみスタッフの方が優先的に船の中へ案内してくれました。
5スターは最上階の4階に案内され、船長やスタッフの方々が出迎えてくれます。デッキに出てウェルカムドリンクやワンスプーンの食事で歓迎を受けます。船長との写真撮影がありました。帰り際に27ドルで購入できます。(ほとんどの方が購入しているように見えました)
船内のテーブルに案内されると、両サイドの席にも日本人の夫婦で同様にハネムーンでハワイに来ているようでした。ドリンク券を利用し最初はビールで乾杯。
その後、料理が順番に出てきましたがどれも美味しく、またスタッフの方もドリンクの注文や食事のペースなど気にかけてくれて愛想も良く気持ちの良い対応でした。
終始ピアノやサックスのジャズの生演奏があり、特別で素敵な時間でした。途中で再度デッキに出てサンセットを眺めたり、写真を撮ったりもできます。
最後は、女性に1輪の薔薇のプレゼントもありました。
最初から最後までVIP待遇で優雅で素敵な時間を過ごすことができます。
ハワイの夜に本当におすすめの体験です。

Star of Honolulu Luxury Sunset Dinner Cruise with Drinks, Private Table & Jazz

Best memory of Honolulu

Reviewed by: Rachel

I booked this sunset cruise trip as a get-away trip for me and my mum. My mum is 70 years old and she has bad knees so we have limited activities we can enjoy in Honolulu. The Star of Honolulu is probably the biggest cruise I can find in Oahu. It even has an elevator so my mum does not need to climb stairs!
I was super impressed with the service. As soon as we boarded the ship, we were brought to deck #4 through the elevator, this is the top deck. We were greeted by crew members, have our private photo opportunity with the captain and two beautiful dancers. we enjoyed our onboard drink and appetizer before being brought to our table. by the way we have six alcohol drink vouchers as part of the package. we had a five-course meal: soup, salad, lobster, wellington beef, icecream, and desertl food is absolutely delicious. this is absolutely five star luxury dinner. Most of people were celebrating anniversary, honeymoon or birthday. The crews are super friendly and attentive. When my mom and I walked to the deck to take sunset pictures, they came out to help us! I highly recommended the tour, it will make your the other half feel so special. My best memory of Honolulu.
