Oahu Dinner Cruises

Turn Dinner into a Night on the Water

An Oahu dinner cruise gives you a chance to watch Honolulu change as the day winds down. Once the boat leaves the harbor, Waikiki and Diamond Head start to open up from the water, the breeze picks up on deck, and the city lights gradually take over from the sunset.

Star of Honolulu offers several ways to spend the evening. You can keep it casual with buffet dining and a Polynesian show, choose a three-star or five-star dinner cruise with a more polished multi-course meal, or skip the full dinner altogether and head out on the Mai Tai Sunset Cocktail Cruise with light pupu snacks and drinks.

The atmosphere can range from lively and social to more dressed-up and celebratory, so it is worth choosing the cruise by the kind of night you have in mind. A casual dinner and show can be fun for families and groups, while the higher-tier dinner options feel more suited to anniversaries, date nights, or a special evening in Honolulu.

Before booking, check the boarding time, transportation options, menu details, and table setup. If sunset is a big part of the plan, keep the season in mind too, since the timing of the evening light changes throughout the year.
