All Reviews for Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruises

The sunset was also atmospheric, and the performances, music, and food were delicious. You can also see fireworks before returning to port. I recommend it for newlyweds and couples.

サンセットもムードありますし、演奏や音楽、食事も美味しかったです。帰港前には花火も見られます。新婚さんやカップルにはおすすめです。

The sunset, the night view of Waikiki, the food, the gathering of people from around the world, the singing and performances, the staff's service—everything was great. Since it was Friday, there were also fireworks. I received a commemorative photo, so I want to share this story with my family while showing them the picture.

夕焼け、ワイキキの夜景、料理、世界の人が集まっている状況、歌と演奏、スタッフのサービス、すべて良かった。金曜日だったので花火もあった。記念写真をいただいたので、家族に見せながらこの話をしたいと思います。

A beautiful night. Great food. Great entertainment. Saw the spectacular fire works and the skyline night lights of Waikiki. Drinks included in the package was a bonus.

This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...

The staff were friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The DJ's song selection was also fantastic! I was able to spend a valuable time that I couldn't enjoy on a regular cruise, and the sunset was beautiful—overall, it was just the best!

スタッフが気さくで楽しく盛り上げてくれました。DJの選曲も素晴らしい！
普通のクルーズでは楽しめない貴重な時間を過ごすことができたし，サンセットもキレイで、とにかく最高でした！

hot on the first hour of the ship. but the rest of the night was fabulous.

I usually practice yoga, and I was interested in SUP yoga, but I hadn't had the opportunity to try it until this trip to Hawaii, so I signed up.

On the day of the activity, it didn't rain, and the temperature was fine. I had to carry the SUP board to the beach myself, and it was quite heavy.

The instructor was not Japanese, but they explained everything in detail, and there were no issues before or after the session.

During the SUP yoga experience, it was quite windy, and there were times when it was hard to hear the instructions (it was dark at night, which made it hard to see), so that was a bit challenging.

The activity itself is something you can't usually experience, and all the participants (except for us, everyone else was foreign) had a lot of fun.

Especially at the beginning, trying to jump on the board and rotate 90 degrees to return was difficult for everyone. Only one young middle school student from a family managed to do it, while the rest fell into the sea and enjoyed trying.

Thank you for the unique experience of yoga that I can't usually have.

ヨガは良くやっているのですが、SUPヨガは興味はありましたが、
此れまで体験する機会がありませんでしたので、今回のハワイ旅行の
機会に申し込みをしました。

当日は、雨も降らず気温なども問題有りませんでした。SUPのボード
は海辺まで自分で運ぶのですが、結構重かったです。

インストラクターは、日本人ではありませんでしたが、色々と細かく
説明をしてくれて、始まる前も終わりも特に問題有りませんでした。

SUPヨガ体験中は結構風が強くで、どういう動作をして下さいという声が
聞こえにくい時も多少あり(夜で暗い事もあり見えにくい）、その点が
少し困ったかなというところでした。

アクティビティーそのものは、普段体験出来る事ではないので、参加者
(私たち以外は外国人)皆でとても楽しんでいました。

特に、最初のころのボードの上で飛んで90度づつ回転して元に戻るのは、
参加者皆苦労して、出来たのは家族ずれの若い中学生くらいの1名くらい
だけで、あとは海に落ちたりして楽しんでトライしていました。

普段できない体験のヨガ有難うございました。

This is the 2nd time in 2 years that I have done this catamaran cruise to watch the Friday night fireworks from the water. This time I invited friends who are locals to join me. They were impressed. The crew is amazing. The drinks are great, the view is spectacular. Unfortunately the fireworks show seems to get shorter every year. HOWEVER, that is not the fault of the crew. It’s still an amazing evening and I will do it again next trip despite the fact that I typically stay at the Hilton and could see the fireworks from my condo or from the beach, but doing it with Ke Kai takes the whole experience to a whole new level.

Viewing the fireworks from the catamaran was the highlight of our week in Waikiki.

The lobster for dinner was thick and tasted just like Japanese crab, it was truly delicious! The final jazz live performance was also moving. It was a great experience to overlook Waikiki and see the fireworks, I'm glad I participated!

ディナーのロブスターが肉厚で味が日本のカニのようで本当に美味しかったです！
最後のジャズライブにもじーんとしました。
ワイキキを一望して花火が見られたのもいい経験で、参加してよかったです！

Transportation and vessel operation were good. Food service and food need improvement. Service was very slow. Food was not served even remotely hot. Our steaks were so rare as to be inedible. A different dessert should be offered as the the one being served has very little taste. The food was a real disappointment.

Yoga on the ocean. The waves are calm, and it's an experience in shallow waters, so even beginners can easily participate. After enjoying about an hour of yoga, you can take a commemorative photo in your favorite pose for just $10. You can refresh both your mind and body in the great nature of Hawaii. Don't worry if you're concerned about language barriers.

海の上でのヨガ。波は穏やかで浅瀬での体験なので初心者でも気軽に体験できます。約１時間たっぷりヨガをした後に10$で好きなポーズで記念写真も撮ってもらえます。ハワイの大自然の中で心身ともにリフレッシュできます。言葉に不安がある方も大丈夫です。

food was good for buffet, and the entertainment was so much fun!!

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

The buffet had a decent selection with carved roast beef, chicken, and sides. It’s not a luxury gourmet meal, but for the price it was solid and filling.

The fireworks we paid for were only 4 minutes long. The food was alright. The staff was friendly.

the Polynesian show was lively and engaging with great music and dance, my favorite part of the evening by far!

Dinner tasted great. Portions were on the small side. Firework show was good, but everyone crowded to one side and it was harder to find a space to look. Lots of people, but still romantic.

This was my third time sailing. There were some waves, but since it was a catamaran, it didn't rock too much, and it was the best sailing experience.

今回3回目のセーリングでした。
そこそこ波もありましたが、カタマランなので大きく揺れることもなく最高のセーリングでした。

Food was great
Staff was courteous helpful very professional
The entertainment was awesome
The view was breathtaking
Thank you

It was so good even we don’t have any yoga experience before!
It is very nice to be the first schedule in hawaii!!

Whole family enjoyed this experience. Small crowd so made it even more enjoyable. Food, alcohol drinks, drinks for the kids, food, watching the sunset out at sea, and the fireworks. The crew were welcoming and friendly, glad we made this part of our trip.

We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

When getting on the boat, there's a high possibility of getting wet up to your knees. (I timed my run to jump on the boat with the waves, so I didn't get wet.) I read in reviews that they gave out small snacks, but this time there were none (?). Since I was drinking alcohol, I wish there had been some snacks (if you need them, bring your own). The Mai Tai was delicious, and I ended up drinking too much.

Thanks to everyone's advice, I brought a jacket. It got chilly with the sea breeze, so wearing a light windbreaker was just right. My partner didn't bring one and ended up wrapping himself in the bath towel I brought.

When getting off the boat, they ask for tips, so it might be good to have some cash on hand. I only had a few dollars or a $100 bill, and I gave them a few dollars, but I felt bad because it seemed too little.

The boat felt like a moving bar, and the fireworks and night view from the sea were amazing. I want to participate again next year!

船に乗る時に膝くらいまで濡れる可能性大です。(私は波のタイミング見て走って乗ったので濡れませんでした)
口コミでは小さなスナックをくれたって書いてあったんですけど、今回は(？)なしでした。お酒飲むのでおつまみあったら良かったなぁ〜(必要な人は持参して)
マイタイ美味しくて飲み過ぎました。
皆さんのアドバイスで上着を持参しました。海風に当たっていたら冷えてきたので薄いウィンドブレーカーを着てちょうど良かったです。相方は持参せず、私が持って行ったバスタオルを羽織ってました。
船を降りる時にチップ要求されるので、適当な現金持ってた方が良いかも。数ドルか100ドル札しかなくて、数ドル渡したけど少なくてごめんなさいって感じでした。
船は動くバーみたいで、海から見る花火と夜景はサイコーでした。
また来年も参加したいです。

Best time ever, We will go again and again . So much fun

I participated in May.
At 19:15, a group that enjoyed the sunset cruise returned. We boarded the ship and departed at 19:30.
We headed out to sea and anchored near Hilton, facing the Hilton.
At 19:45, the fireworks began.
I have experienced watching fireworks at Hilton Lagoon and Fort DeRussy Beach before, but this time it was the most luxurious viewing while sitting and sipping on a Mai Tai.
The fireworks ended in five minutes. After that, we headed east (toward Diamond Head) for about an hour of night sailing. We enjoyed unlimited sparkling wine, beer, and cocktails while listening to pop music.
We returned around 21:00.
The side-to-side rocking wasn't too bad, but there was some up-and-down motion when crossing the waves. I sat near the center, so I didn't get splashed much. My wife was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but she said she didn't feel any nausea at all.
It was $80 per person; the cost-performance evaluation varies for everyone, but I enjoyed it enough.

Had to use a premium drink ticket for a diet coke. Gimme a break.
Lobster presentation was unacceptable. Lobster should have been served out of the shell, very messy.
Entertainment was good
