Nice time
I had a nice time on this cruise. Overall it was all I could have asked for. A time to just break away and relax and chill with other cool people.
Just what I was looking for.
Only think that may have been cooler is if the drinks has been provided rather than BYOB.
Awesome though. Good stuff.

Father and daughter date
I took my daughter on a Hawaiian vacation and I wanted to get out to celebrate the holiday in a special way somehow. She is 13 and just at that age where it is still "cool" to go out on dates with your dad. So I decided to take her on this cruise and make a big night of it.
It was perfect! We got a little dressed up and went on board...there was live music and a delicious dinner (I had Mahi Mahi that was out of this world, and they even had a vegetarian offering for my always on a diet daughter!)
Watching the fireworks show, and seeing my little girl happy and feeling like a queen for the night...that was priceless. Worth the money, without a doubt!

Blue Sea Cruises Independence Day Fireworks Dinner Cruise (from Kailua-Kona)
Kona fireworks
This was a great night all around.
Not much night life usually happens on the Big Island in general, so I was wondering what the heck we were going to do on the Fourth of July. I was tired of going to just a regular beach fireworks show year after year.
This cruise was a great break from the norm. To get on a boat and just cruise along, eat some good food, and chill with a few drinks, was great.
The fireworks were da bomb too!

Fun, food and fireworks
Great cruise.
Really laid back. Open bar. Wide variety of appetizers (I learned that they call them "pupus" in Hawaii).
Good food. Good fun. Good night.
Oh yeah! And there were fireworks!

Fireworks with family
We took our family on this cruise, and are happy we did. Every year we never seem to know what to do about going to Fireworks shows. We have two kids, and I am always a little worried to have them around a huge crowd of people. I don't want them to get scared and also, just safety concerns and feeling so hectic and in the middle of the Waikiki hub bub...we had to find an alternative.
This cruise was the perfect solution. We just showed up, and were greeted by hula dancers which my kids thought was so great! And then we were served a great meal, that even the kids ate. The fireworks started and we were able to enjoy all the thrill of the Magic Island show, without being stuck in the middle of that crazy crowd of people. We would do this again next year for sure.

What a BLAST!
My wife and I took this cruise and had a great time!
Being new to the area, we asked for some suggestions and several people mentioned the Star of Honolulu to us. So we gave it a shot, and we are so glad we did.
It was easy to get to the pickup point right from our hotel, we actually walked! And then the dinner was great. I am a big eater, and a self-professed food snob, but that lobster and five-course meal was truly amazing. Fireworks capped off the night with a bang, and it was just wonderful.

Cruising
I picked this cruise because I wanted to get out and do something for the Fourth of July, but I didn't want the hassle of dealing with huge crowds of people, fighting traffic, and being around a bunch of screaming teenagers running around.
This was the perfect choice for me. I am a big guy, so I like to eat...buffet style all the way, and I am a happy man. So the food was good. Drinks were available at reasonable prices, and the best part was nobody seemed to be there to get drunk, but just enjoyed some drinks and the night. The fireworks were the best ending to a good night. I made a great choice, obviously.

Solo Cruiser
So I came to Hawaii, alone, over a holiday. I was already feeling kind of down about that already. Really wanted to do something fun to celebrate the fourth. Anything besides sitting in my hotel alone would have been good, but this tour, was amazing!
I wasn't sure how a dinner cruise would feel going as an individual. Worried that maybe I would feel weird, but it wasn't like that at all! The boat was incredible...luxurious..kind of like the type you see on movies. And the food was buffet style, which made me feel happy about rather than a stuffy foodservice. I ate well that night! The fireworks were every bit as good as they said they would be, and I had a great night, even on my own!

Great to get out of Waikiki!
This was my second time on Oahu, and the first trip I mostly spent all my time in and around Waikiki. This tour was great in that it got me all the way to the other side of the island for a change of pace.
That side of the island....they called it Kaneohe Bay I think, man, it was beautiful. The water was so clear, and I got to see all kinds of fish I had never seen before too.
I didn't want to spend a ton of money either, and so this was a good deal for the price, as lunch was part of it...and tasted good too! The people were nice and helpful, and the sandbar was probably my favorite part. Good tour.

Nervous mainlander
I have to admit I was pretty nervous about my first experience. I am from the mainland, born and raised, and really haven't spent much of any time in waters other than YMCA swimming pools!
But from the minute I got there the guide was so friendly and welcoming. As shy as I am, I felt completely comfortable and at ease. THIS in itself made the trip for me.
But then we got in the cove, and oh my gosh! The number of fish and ocean critters we saw were amazing! A whole new world was opened up to me, and I LOVE it! Go on this tour, for sure!
