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

Anniversary Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Tony S, 2022/10/24

The pickup was quick and efficient and comfortable from the bus tour company. The guide told us what to expect before we arrived and showed a safety video while we were driving. From there we were escorted to the boat. Then swiftly seated at our table. The inside of the ship was very nice and tables were set and ready to receive us. We were right next to the stage. The live music was awesome and our entertainment was nonstop from a ukulele Hawaiian singer to Jazz saxophone player with a singer, then an amazing array of traditional Hawaiian dancers that brought excitement and energy to the cruise. The day went was Friday so the captain stayed out longer for the Fireworks at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. (Caution if you get motion sickness take precautions Dramamine or motion sickness bands are a must. No joke) It was our wedding anniversary we had the best time and the lobster and steak were amazing.

What an amazing adventure! The crew was so nice! The boat ride was amazing and the snorkeling was just out of this world! Best day of my entire trip.
The barbecue was perfect. And playing volleyball in the middle of the ocean was just unreal! Thanks again for the memorable experience

初めてのハワイ

Reviewed by: さやか, 2022/10/22

ずっと行きたかったサンドバーのツアーに、大学生の友達4人で参加しました。日本人のガイドさんがいたので、特に困ることもなく、楽しく過ごせました。サンドバーでもシュノーケリングでも、写真をたくさん撮って満喫するだけの時間は十分ありましたし、船の上からウミガメもたくさん見れました!とてもおすすめのツアーです!

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

Wouldn’t be ideal for non swimmers

Reviewed by: Cici, 2022/10/21

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.
Advice,

スターオブホノルル号|サンセットディナークルーズ!ライブショーと選べるビュッフェ/コースディナー付き

ショーと食事は良かったが、残念な点も幾つかあり。

Reviewed by: ミッチーYOKOHAMA, 2022/10/15

アメリカ本土からの観光客中心に船内はほぼ満席でした。
丁度金曜日の夜でヒルトンホテル辺りの海岸からの花火が短時間ですが綺麗でした。
食事はフルーツ、チーズのバイキングとコース料理とで食べきれないほどあり、良かったのですが、いかんせん、テーブルが小さく、臨席との間隔がギチギチで残念。
海上が見える外へは直ぐに出られるので、特に海の見える席を指定する必要は無いと思います。
ドリンク券2枚付ですが、ウェイトレスが少なく、ウッカリしていると二杯目注文が漏れることに、、、。
私は一応チップを渡しましたが、周りほとんど渡している人は居ませんでした。

Worth it.

Reviewed by: Jordan , 2022/10/15

The dinner cruise is worth it. We had the crab legs, steak, and bbq chicken. The crab legs were a little small, but everything else was very tasty. I would recommend this activity and may do it again if I go back to Oahu. The entertainment was also great and enjoyable to watch. The staff on board was also friendly and attentive.

船に乗る前から踊りで出迎えてもらえ、スタッフさんが皆さん明るく迎え入れてくださりました!
乾杯のドリンクを聞かれたときとっさに英語が聞き取れなかったのですが携帯の翻訳機で伝えてくださったりと臨機応変で親切な対応でした。
1番ランク下のビュッフェのコースでしたが、料理もすべて美味しかったです!
ただ、ケーキはアメリカらしいすごく甘すぎる感じだったのでフルーツばかり食べていました。
ハワイの音楽を聴きながら穏やかな海でサンセットが見れて、たくさん写真も撮れたので最高の思い出になりました。

とても楽しくうっとりするひと時でした!

Reviewed by: トミー, 2022/10/11

金曜日の花火がある日に3スターコースに参加しました。窓際オプションと記念写真も申し込みました。
料理が順に運ばれて来ます。事前に「夕陽の写真を撮っている内にお皿が下げられた」というコメントを見て参加しましたが、タイミングを見計らえば、そんなことはありません。
「エビが水っぽい」というコメントもありましたが、特には感じませんでした。
花火は、開始時刻が近くなると一斉に動き始めるので、
少し早めに動くのがコツです。米人の後ろからは見えません。ただ、日本の花火大会より時間は短く(10〜15分?)、遠方からなので迫力は今一歩です。
終わり近くになるとディスコタイムとなり、女性従業員が弾けて踊り、盛り上がりました。
説明書に、「代金にはチップが含まれていない」と書いてあったので、心積もりしていましたが、渡すタイミングがありませんでした。
出口付近で、フラダンスの男女ペアと記念撮影してくれます(無料)。いい思い出になりました。

コロナ以前の素晴らしいおもてなしはどこへやら。

Reviewed by: サクラサク, 2022/10/10

フリードリンクチケットを2枚/人もらっていた。チチを注文したが、忙しくて何十分も待ったあげく、花などの飾りもないものが置かれた。二枚めを使おうとすると、英語をまくしたてて、拒否された。もうラストオーダーなのかもと思い、諦めていたら、そのうち、臨席のオーダーを取り始めた。なぜ私のオーダーを受けなかったのかと問い詰めたが、何を言ってるのかさっぱりわからなかった。一応チケットを受け取ったが、結局ドリンクは持ってきてくれなかった。コロナ明けで人手不足なのかもしれないが、最低のスタッフだと思います。以前ファイブスターで、カウントダウンクルーズに参加した時は最高のスタッフのおもてなしだったのに、今回は、楽しめるどころか、差別されて、悲しかったです。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Live Entertainment - Great Value!

It was just okay.

Reviewed by: Laura, 2022/10/03

It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.

Reviewed by: na◎◎, 2022/10/02

5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。

最高レビューばかりで若干サクラを疑ってましたが本当に最高でした。
当日は快晴で、海が一層綺麗でした。
日本人と英語スピーカーと乗船は半々くらいでした。
日本人のガイドさんもいたため、英語がわからない方でも安心です。
サンドバーではビーチバレーコートを設置してくれ、国籍とわずで楽しめました。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーは焼きたてのパテがとてもジューシーでした。
その後海亀ウォッチは沢山の海亀が見れ、
シュノーケリングでは偶然マンタと泳ぐこともできました。(珊瑚礁での海亀やマンタとの遭遇かなりレアだそうです)
全てを通して大満足です。
ただし日焼け止めは膝裏までしっかり塗ってください。痛い目を見ます。

Kualoa Ranch Movie Sites Tour - Visit TV Shows & Hollywood Filming Locations

Ranch Movie Tour

Reviewed by: Bitty, 2022/09/30

From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)

I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.

This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.

絶景が楽しめます!そしてご飯もとても美味しかった!

ホテルから集合場所がとても遠かったので、往復で送迎つけるべきだったかなと思ったのですが、タクシーでなんとかなりました。
往路は道が混んでいたので、待ち合わせ時間に間に合うかどうかヒヤヒヤしたのと交通費が高くついたので、心配な方は送迎をつけるべき。
復路は混んでいなかったので安く済みました(^^)

机と机の間隔が狭く、窮屈に感じたのは残念だったのですが、
ご飯も美味しく、ロブスター丸ごと1匹はとても感動しました!美味しかった!
