Amazing First Class Experience
We had a wonderful time. Definitely happy we booked the upgrade to the top deck - better food, great service, less crowded, and fantastic entertainment by the amazing jazz pianist, Jim Howard. First class all the way.!

Amazing experience and Marie Christina is wonderful
My family and I had an amazing time with the Star of Honolulu. Our experience consisted of a 5 course meal, Jazz for entertainment, and a beautiful view! Our server was Marie Christina and she was fantastic! She was funny, tentative, and because she was so kind she made completed our entire experience. 10/10, we 100% recommend you book with them on your trip ☺️ Thank you Star of Honolulu!

Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oahu.
How much does Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz cost?
+
Prices start at $236 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oahu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oahu is not rushed.
Is Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 215 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oahu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz?
+
Around 75 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oahu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oahu and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oahu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oahu?
+
On Outty we rank every Oahu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Oahu: Full or Half Day Grand Circle Island Tour, Pearl Harbor Remembered Tour, Oahu Majestic Circle Island Tour with Waimea Falls and Byodo Inn. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oahu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oahu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Gratuities; Additional beverages; and Hotel pick-up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Nova Five Star Sunset Dinner and Jazz?
+
