it was ok younger kids and family would enjoy it. it was intersting because you see things you wouldn't normally see such as ship wrecks and plane wrecks. seeing aquatic life was pretty cool we saw a female sea turtle the narrator said that was rare. the most annoying was the dual english and japneese narration on a sub that was all english speaking passengers.

We really enjoyed the activity and the scenery was beautiful. It was great to view the island from a different vantage point. The friendly staff and food was great! It was definitely worth the money.You can be as active or as relaxed as you want to be.The staff was great with the kids.Unfortunately , it rained on our day so it kind of put a damper on things. The staff did their best to make it up to us. I would only recommend to bring extra clothes and a raincoat of some kind just in case.

My tour guide was Nappy. He was a true Hawaiian and new a lot about the island. He was very funny and made the tour enjoyable. I would recommend this for people who want to see all of the main attractions around Oahu!

This was a unique experience for me because I have never been on any sort of cruise ship before. Although the waves were a little choppy, overall I had a great time. The food is great (one star), service is good, and the atmosphere is satisfying. Just a little advice for all the couples out there who want a special "one-on-one" type of evening, spend the extra money to get a table for two. If not, you may end up sharing a table with another couple. I lucked out and the couple that was supposed to show, didn't. This is also a type of outing that is geared more towards tourists. So this may not be so entertaining for many of the locals. It also does get a little chilly, so bring some sort of jacket (for the men), or a jacket/shawl (for women). Overall, I enjoyed the quality and experience this activity had to offer. I would definitely do it again sometime.

Nappy, our bus driver and tour guide, made our tour fun, friendly and informative! He is a great storyteller and really takes an interest in his guests. All day tours in large busses are often long and grueling but he took the time to get to make sure that everyone was safe and was able to enjoy each stop to the fullest. My cousin, who is a local but has never played 'tourist', thought he was wonderful! She said that she never thought taking an island tour could be so much fun. Mahalo nui loa, Nappy! You are 'no ka oi' and we love you!

This was our second time to Oahu and our second sunset cruise. The first time was with Navatek and that was a nice cruise but we felt that one was overcrowded (we upgraded our cruise on both trips). The cruise on the Star of Honolulu was much more expensive than our upgraded Navatek cruise so we were looking for a much improved experience.
The Star of Honolulu cruise was VERY personal as there were very few people who upgraded to the upper deck package. Matt and Captain Roy were extremely attentive and a pleasure to be around.
Unfortunately it was very overcast and the ocean choppy for our voyage but the dining experience was first class. The jazz show was phenomenal as well.
The coach ride felt like herding cattle, and at the price of our ticket I would expect a more personal form of transportation (I realize a personal car required an additional upgrade, but would have expected something more intimate than a full sized tour bus). There was little to no information given

This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.
The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.
The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.
I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.

I did this with my 23 year old daughter and we both felt that this was an outstanding activity! The ride was great - some hills, windy trails, spectacular views, just the right length - 90 minutes. The staff was super - Darleena couldn't have been better - so knowledgeable, friendly and patient! The horses were very calm and perfect for this type of ride. We both agree that this is one of the best things we've done on Oahu. We've already recommended Gunstock Ranch to other family members that are planning to visit Hawaii. (I'll send photos later)

Had a great show and good food.
I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and the first time going out with Captain Bob. It was a well organized function with a superb crew! Having the first stop to the sandbar for volleyball was an excellent way for newbies to get used to snorkeling. It also allowed people to get acclimated to the water before getting into the snorkeling around the reef. Their choice in reef was nothing short of excellent! There was a large variety of fish to view to include several Moray Eels that swam about. The location also allowed a beautiful view of the Main Island and isolated islands off the coast. The only complaint is there was a young crew member who needed to pull up his bathing suit a little bit. He was a very nice young man & friendly with everyone but a bit more modesty would have been appreciated.
Overall, the event was great; everyone had an enjoyable time, and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu.

This submarine dive was awesome. It goes down about 120 feet and makes its way through two shipwrecks, a plane crash, U of Hawaii's artificial coral project... Not to mention all the fish and wildlife you see. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! However, do pay attention to the languages set for the time you go. But if you happen to get on a Japanese tour, there are headphones with English.

Had an absolute BLAST!! The crew was great and very entertaining. They were really helpful to first time snorkelers and were very welcoming. We truly enjoyed every moment (except for the brief heavy rain).
Since we were not staying in Waikiki, we drove ourselves and had a little trouble finding the place, but called and got more detailed directions and still made it in plenty of time.
