Tour Reviews
We went on the dinner cruise on September 19, 2018. One of the best experiences so far on the star!! Everything was perfect from the bus ride to the boat to the music, hula lessons, food, and of course the service. We had the opportunity to be served by Kenny, which was amazing. So interactive with everyone, he made sure we were all good!! The manager of entertainment was such an amazing person as well, he was nice enough to announce my grandmothers birthday and have everyone sing to her! I very highly recommend this dinner cruise to anyone looking for a nice sunset dinner. You also get amazing advantages on photos with a beautiful view of the diamond head.
This was one of our (my wife and I) most exciting New Year’s Eve celebrations. The environment was super, the food was great, the entertainment was fantastic, the view of fireworks was front row and the service was excellent.
