FAQs
Yes, you should come in particular attire for the dinner cruise. If you are opting for the Three Star, Star, and Pacific Star dinner cruises, we categorize it as resort casual. This means you don’t have to dress up fancy but should look presentable in jeans and t-shirts. Other options we recommend are long pants, polo shirts, sundresses, linen pants, skirts, or a nice button-up attire will do. It’s not super fancy, but you’ll want to step it up a bit from t-shirts and jeans.
On the other hand, for the Five Star Sunset Dining & Jazz cruise, try dressing up semi-formally. Guys can wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and collared shirts. However, ladies can wear a chic pants-and-top combo. An evening gown for ladies is not required, but a good dress will do.
Most dinner cruises offer a variety of dining options, including local Hawaiian cuisine, seafood, and international dishes. Meals typically include appetizers, light snacks, entrees (such as steak, chicken, or fish), sides, and desserts. Some cruises offer buffet-style dining, while others provide plated meals. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options may also be available upon request.
Yes, we offer round-trip transportation from some Kahala or Waikiki hotels, for which you’ll have to pay an extra fee. Once you confirm your tour, we’ll provide you with a voucher that will have the exact pickup spot and time.
Yes, we highly suggest you follow the dress code to keep things respectful for everyone on board. So, please do not wear shorts, casual t-shirts, flip-flops, cutoffs, or tank tops.
