All Reviews for Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruises

Best in town, great view, great crew, great cocktails

The boat was a little bit too crowded, but the dinner experience and the view of Waikiki were great.

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.

First time I went on a boat, first time eating lobster, first time in Hawaii! Everything was perfect from A to Z!

The crew was amazing and the drinks were great! Its our second time using this boat/company and would do it again! The fireworks are amazing from the water.

The fireworks from the sea on the boat were amazing. It was a small boat, but it didn't sway much. The Viking buffet was quite delicious as well. However, for first-timers, I recommend booking a larger boat for a better experience.

船で海からの花火は最高でした。
小さな船でしたがあまりゆれず
バイキングビッフェもなかなか美味しかった
でも、初めての方は、もう少し大きな船でランクを上げて予約する事をお勧めします。

We enjoyed the Dinner cruise very much.The food and entertainment were great.Right from the transport pick up everything very well organised.It was a beautiful evening and lovely to see Waikiki from the oceon,I also saw a Whale jump right out of the water for the first time.

The Manu Kai catamaran fireworks sail was a wonderful experience. The boat wasn’t overly crowded so that made for easy viewing of the fireworks. The captain and crew also exceeded expectations. They were friendly, approachable, and very generous with their drinks. All of these things definitely added to the overall positive experience. The perfect birthday activity idea for a Friday night visiting Honolulu. Would highly recommend. But be sure to bring a jacket, as it does get quite chilly at night!

We had a wonderful evening aboard the Star of Honolulu! And although we chose the least expensive option -- the Casual Dinner Buffet, the service was excellent, as was the food. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The Polynesian performance added a touch of magic to the evening. The views of Waikiki and the sunset were spectacular. Overall, an enchanting evening which I highly recommend. I plan to cruise again with Star of Honolulu on my next trip!

We really enjoyed the dinner. Thank you very much!

3 of us decided we wanted to do something different rather than having dinner at a nice restaurant, and this combination dinner and cruise fit the bill. The food was excellent, both the steak and the crab legs were fabulous, and we had an awesome view from our window-adjacent table. The entertainment on board was amusing, it added a great vibe to the dinner. The duration of the cruise from start to finish was just right - enough time to have a leisurely dinner, enjoy a show, watch the fireworks, and then return back to land. Just perfect, I highly recommend!

It was good my friends and I really enjoyed it. The view was breathtaking & the crew on board were so friendly and helpful. I am a picky eater so the food was alright to me however my friends really enjoyed it. If prone to seasickness, I recommend you take medication before getting onto the boat.

I went on this cruise with my friends as we all met in Hawaii for a little vacation. This dinner cruise was wonderful. We got to see the sunset and the food was delicious however we were just happy to be surrounded by great company and the view. If driving out keep in mind the traffic as it will get busy.

Our family enjoyed the sunset dinner cruise. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t have much of a sunset, but like others mentioned you just had to get up and go out on the deck as they don’t make any announcement. The food was okay. Service was great. The entertainment was good as well. But i’m not sure It was worth the money so I probably wouldn’t do it again.

My husband and our friends really enjoyed the view of Honolulu and the fireworks!

Everything was perfect. A very nice bus ride to the ship, all you can eat snow crab legs diner, the wonderful service & entertainment & of course the beautiful views.

We appreciated the enthusiasm of the crew, personalized attention, and the freshly made cocktails. I would not only recommend this group to others, but when we return we will definitely do another tour! Thank you.

Had a great time on the cruise with my friend and her family! Everyone couldn’t wait for the all you can eat crab legs! Once we took off everyone was having a awesome time watching the scenic view as we ate and later walked around. The kids we having so much fun watching the entertaining dancers then even more fun when they got to dance too! The crew, the food & the entertainment were amazing!

The food was okay and the show was good. Since the cruise was floating slow we felt seasick.

Our family of 5 did the the Friday Fireworks sail last Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were great fun and the cocktails were lovely and plentiful. Would definitely recommend for all ages.

I was able to see Waikiki from the sea for the first time. The fireworks from Hilton felt different from those viewed from Hilton Lagoon; it was as if I was monopolizing the fireworks. However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food.

初めて海上からワイキキを観る事が出来ました。
ヒルトンの花火もヒルトンラグーンから観る花火とは違った印象を受けたのは、まるで花火を独占していたかのように感じたからでしょう。
只、食事はあまり期待しない方が良いと思います。

Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.

This was a great experience the food, view and dancing. So well worth it would do it again.

It was better than we thought it would be. We loved it.. recommend it!!!

My boyfriend and I got this to see the fireworks. It was amazing, drinks were good, vibe was great, service was perfect. Casual attire. Barefoot cruise. Any age would enjoy it. I would recommend this to everyone.

Not one single conplaint! Everyone that attended spoke so highly of the entertaining and hospitable host.

Amazing experience. Everyone was supper nice and the entertainment was amazing as well

Wonderful evening on the Star of Honolulu! Entertainment & music was fantastic! A huge thank you to all the entertainers, staff, musicians, crew & captain of the ship! Our wait staff, Nicole was exceptional! They all made our evening memorable!
