Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula Show

Great time!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!

Had A Great Time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

i wanted to do something special for my girlfriend's birthday during our stay in Oahu.... Turns out it was a success!!!!

I booked the 3 star dinner w/ special occasion feature for my girl and I. The food was great! loved the lobster and steak... our waitress Jasmine was great also! It didnt take very long for us to get our plates.... The view of diamond head was amazing... When it was time for sunset, we headed up to the observation deck, WHAT A SIGHT!!!! We took a couple of photos and one of the other guests offered to take a photo op for us.... After seeing the picture she took of us, we realized what that picture could be! "something much more." as in, a Save the Date type of photo..... My girlfriend has an idea of what I was up to to since i mentioned the photo as a save the date type of picture but shes gonna be surprised when I pop the question in the near feature!!!!! THEN she can finally say that we can use this photo for our SAVE THE DATE picture!!!

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

A Most Memorable Weekend

Reviewed by: Jackie & Shannon

Aloha! We are local residents of the island Oahu and have never been fortunate enough to do an activity like this one... until now!

Captain Bob's tour was an adventure full of variety for even the local resident. The sandbar was amazing and a great place to start the activity. We were surprised at the size of the sandbar and even though our tour was a crowded we had ample space to enjoy our own privacy and each others company. There was also volleyball set up in the middle of the ocean for playing and group enjoyment.

We then went to a spot where we saw an abundance of sea turtles. As locals of Hawaii, turtles are no big surprise and are often seen in our waters everywhere. However, when we cruised over the area - they were such an amazing and beautiful sight, that we started to ooh and ahh!

The actual snorkeling was also an experience. The reef that we were brought to was private and well marked and preserved. It was beautiful to swim around the edges and explore. It was the

Most relaxing and unique time!

Reviewed by: Charity

Captain Bob's was one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was very laid back and extremely helpful (served us beer in the water). One girl even got stung by a jellyfish and the captain carried her all the way back to the boat and immediately rendered first aid. 60 of us total and it was not crowded at all. Burgers were good, people were awesome and the snorkeling was spectacular. Saw a few turtles and other beautiful fish. Volleyball on the sandbar was pretty fun too!! All in all my husband and I really had a great time. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!

We booked this trip before we arrived on Oahu and were slightly nervous about going as we had never snorkelled before. However, the staff on the trip were very friendly and patient, the food was good and the actual snorkelling was amazing. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone going to the island and we will certainly be snorkelling again - thanks very much for a great day!

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.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise with Crab Legs, Steak & Chicken Dinner and Show

Unique Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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.

Great Cruise

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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

The kind of romance we were after..

Reviewed by: Lisa T.

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.

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!

Great Day!

Reviewed by: Donny

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

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

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

Big Kudos to Captain Bob's Crew!

Reviewed by: Douglas & Carol Kidwell

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.
