The staff and the boat were amazing. We had the best time! They catered to our every need and were informative and seasoned. I felt safe every step of the way. You should try this, you won’t regret it.

We were supposed to meet at 5 PM, but I was surprised that we had to turn back for three Americans who were late. Is this our responsibility? The three of them didn't apologize and were overly cheerful; could this be a difference in national character? It finally got dark around 6:15 PM, and the illumination was beautiful, but what do you think about the timing set from 5 PM to 7 PM? I think it would have been better if it started from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, so we could enjoy it after it got dark.

17時集合でしたが、遅れたアメリカ人三人のため引き返し、びっくりしました。
自己責任でしょうか？
三人は謝りもせず、やたらテンション高くて国民性の違いでしょうか？
6時15分くらいにようやく暗くなりイルミネーション綺麗でしたが、17時から19時の設定はどうでしょうか？
せめて17：30から19：30が暗くなってから楽しめたと思います。

I was glad that the staff member was Japanese, which made me feel relaxed. We were able to chat as well. However, I wasn't satisfied because I had to pay an 18% tip on-site, which I didn't expect.

スタッフさんが日本人の方でしたので、リラックスできて良かったです。雑談もできて。ただ、チップが払っていないとのことで、現地で18％払いました。ちょっと納得出来てません。

We had a great time. The MC was awesome, very fun. All the dancer were really good. Very entertaining for the entire family!

The last time I visited, it was a bit late in the evening and there were many people, making it quite crowded both inside and outside the city hall, which made taking photos a bit challenging.

This time, considering I had small children with me, I thought the crowds would be difficult, so I chose to go on a weekday before sunset. The venue was less crowded, and it was much easier to take photos.

After enjoying the inside of the city hall, we went outside as it was getting dark, allowing us to enjoy the outdoor illuminations without the crowds, and we were able to leave early, which was convenient.

Next time I go, I plan to visit on a similar schedule. It seems to have created good memories for the children as well, which was great.

以前に訪れた際は少し夜遅めの時間帯で人も多く、市庁舎の中も外もかなり込み合っていて、写真を撮るのもちょっと大変でした。

今回は小さい子供がいたため人混みは大変だと考え、平日の日没前の時間を選択して参加したところ、会場が空いていて写真も撮りやすかったです。

先に市庁舎の中で楽しんだ後、暗くなるころに外に出れば込み合うことなく屋外のイルミネーションも満喫でき、帰る時間も早めでラクでした。

また行く際は、同じようなスケジュールで訪れようと思います。子供にとってもいい思い出になったようで、良かったです。

City Lights was incredibly enjoyable. This time, since it was the 40th anniversary, there were many beautiful illuminations, making it quite festive. However, the voucher pickup location was listed as "Waikiki Shopping Plaza - Royal Hawaiian Avenue entrance," but in reality, it was across the road from that entrance. I almost got left behind. They were also 15 minutes late, which meant I couldn't enjoy the pre-event. Other than that, I was satisfied.

シティライツは最高に楽しめました。今回は40周年というかとで，イルミネーション飾りも沢山あり、華やかでした。ただ、バウチャーのピックアップ場所は「 ワイキキ ショッピング プラザ - ロイヤルハワイアン通り側出入口」となっていたが、実際は「 ワイキキ ショッピング プラザ - ロイヤルハワイアン通り側出入口の道路向い側」であり、危うく置いていかれるとこでした。時間も15分も遅れてくるし。お陰で事前のイベントも楽しめず。それ以外は満足でした。

Lovely location, fabulous food, super service, entertaining entertainment. We are glad we had premium seating. But, every seat is fantastic.

Eine sehr beeindruckendes Erlebnis!
Kann ich allen empfehlen.

Such a fun night. The food options were delicious. The activities and vendors were interesting and informative. The show is very entertaining and fun to watch. The host, Paul, was fantastic and he made it special for my fiancé and l as he heard we got engaged a few days prior. We got to get our own dance along those who were celebrating anniversaries. That was such a sweet surprise and totally unexpected. I highly recommend luau! The transportation was also fantastic and super easy.

Our group was looking forward to our first luau and as we arrived at the destination it started raining. While the hosts were quick to hand out rain ponchos, the rain affected the event.

First, the hosts were rushed to get folks registered and get things moving. As a result, our group was never able to get our picture taken before the event started. Knowing this was an outdoor venue and its rainy season, I would have expected that certain things would have been under cover - like the photo area, the stage and honestly even the seating.

The food was under cover and was good. Not spectacular but good. A couple of our group had raw fish and were all sick that night so having certain foods outside for an extended period was not smart.

The performance from the warriors was good. They tried to show the different dress/dance of various polynesian groups but it would have benefited from more clarity on their differences as they all stared looking the same.

The ONE performance I was looking forward to was the fire dance. It was a disappointment. I expected all the adult performers to have choreographed a phenomenal dance of fire, complete with fire twirling, throwing etc. Instead they handed the "fire dance" off to one young boy for a solo act and two young boys to show off what they learned. YES, they were very good! but the magic of a "warrior tribe" dancing the fire dance was lost. The adults did come back for a grand finale - but it seems confusing at best.

Not what I expected.

Last year, we registered our marriage and, being a bit older, we weren't considering a wedding ceremony. However, after researching sunset cruises, we found an option for a vow renewal. We updated our marriage vows for our second anniversary and received a certificate, commemorative photos, and a bottle of champagne for toasting.

We were seated at a couple's table by the window, allowing us to enjoy the view while dining. The sunset and the night view of Honolulu were absolutely wonderful. There were hula dances and various performances, and everyone on the boat had a great time. I chose the one-star meal since I have a small appetite, but the portion was more than enough.

昨年、入籍をし年齢高めで挙式などは考えていませんでしたが、サンセットクルーズをリサーチしてバウリニューアルというのがあったので、入籍２年目の結婚の誓いの更新を行い証明書と記念写真、乾杯のシャンパン1本いただきました。
席は窓際のカップルシート指定で景色を見ながらお食事が出来ます。
サンセット、ホノルルの夜景、とても素敵です。フラダンスや色々なダンス、船内のみんなで盛り上がりました。
少食なので1スターにしましたが、充分な量です。

Not worth the amount paid. Food and beverages were below average. Dancers performed well. Location of the stage was wonderful. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying the VIP premium seating.Story telling was so boring .

My first time in Hawaii! It was a wonderful memory.
The weather was perfect!
The car was great!
The guide was fantastic!
I have nothing to complain about.

初めてのハワイ！とても良い記念になりました。
天気も最高！
車も最高！
ガイドさんも最高！
言うことなしです。

Small and intimate luau with a lot of Hawaiian history coursing through the show!

When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.

Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.

Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.

When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!

It was a great experience! The activities were fun and educational! Great family environment! Wonderful performances, amazing performers, good food and drinks! The best activity and experience on our vacation! You have to go!

You know how you can never quite describe the atmosphere, moments and beauty of something? That was this experience. From a long distance traveler- this was once in a lifetime. Tell everyone you know and bring them with you. 10/10.

Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.

This was a first for me and my husband and we were unfamiliar with the area. The instructions on where to meet could have been a little clearer. We were a little late due to that but the photographer was very understanding. Robert was very professional and willing to take any shots we wanted. He also recommended several poses for us and didn’t rush us at all. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I’m glad we were able to book it. Can’t wait to see the results!

Had a great experience ! Super easy to plan with Dempsey ! My new fiancée loved it ! She thought it was the most romantic and beautiful thing. Definitely a highlight of our trip ! 10/10 recommend booking this picnic !

Book this! Seriously worth it! The most amazing massage we have ever had!!!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with a couples massage. The location is so convenient, very welcoming space and felt very private. Such an amazing experience with such skilled masseuse’s. They knew where our problem areas were and we walked out like brand new people. Don’t hesitate to book this experience… as soon as we left we booked another one before we leave to go home.

We totally enjoyed the show. It was very entertaining and kept us engaged right up till the end. The food was delicious & plentiful. The whole experience was awesome!

What a great way to end off our Oahu trip! Mahalo to Mauka Luau!!

Fun evening, lots of different things to do and the show was top notch!

Perfect experience, exactly what I pictures + more!

This was our last night in Hawaii and this was the perfect way to end it. The setup was excellent and very cute. Jenny and Joshua were awesome host. They had everything setup made it really easy to find them. The food was also very good we ate pretty the whole charcuterie board. Overall it was a good experience to do, would recommend it.

We stayed at Marriott and enjoyed the premium upgrade for the luau so much!!

The water is so different over on this snorkel tour, and they pick up from hotel!

Ken was very pleasant from the moment he picked us up, and I felt relaxed and at ease even before the tour started. He made us laugh with jokes in the car and shared his knowledge and information about Hawaii, making the 7 hours fly by. The ride in the Lincoln was also fantastic; I didn't feel tired at all and could have stayed on longer. Ken is half Japanese and half American, and since he has lived in Japan for a long time, he speaks Japanese fluently. I would love to request Ken again the next time I have the opportunity. Thank you for the enjoyable time, Ken!

ケンさんはお迎えの時からとっても感じがよくて、ツアーが始まる前から安心&リラックスできました。車内ではジョークで笑わせてくれたり、ハワイの知識や情報を教えて下さったり、あっという間の7時間でした。リンカーンの乗り心地も最高で、全く疲れたりもせず、まだまだ乗っていたいくらいでした。ケンさんは日本とアメリカのハーフの方で、日本に長く住んでいたこともあるので、日本語はペラペラです。
また機会がある時はケンさんにお願いしたいと思っています。
ケンさん楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

The two-hour private rental was amazing, with a fantastic view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean! Swimming while anchored was also very refreshing! I highly recommend it for families and friends!

２時間貸切ですが沖から眺めるワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！
停泊しての海水浴も気持ち良い！
家族や友達の利用はお勧めです！
