All Reviews for Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruises

Food ia not that good!! The dinner tables are not that gate

A fun relaxing evening to put it simply. First there's the no hassle boarding right off the beach as the catamaran comes right up onto the beach. There may be a line but boarding is quick with lots of room for everyone once on board. You get underway very quickly, a brief safety talk, and then your motoring out past the waves to station yourself for the fireworks show. Drinks are as free flowing as you want distributed by the crew of one in a very efficient manner. The fireworks show looking back at the beach is pretty good - how can it not be- your on a boat in the Pacific, looking at skyline of Waikeke and it's 82 degrees!!! After the fireworks the captain raises the sails and you cruise along the coast. BUT - the best part of the trip is talking with the other passengers- my family met a group from New Zealand and we spent the time talking about differences between the two cultures as similiar as they may be to each other. We have 17 year old twins (boy & girl) and they also had lots of fun !! The price was a very good value, the time at sea was about right- Highly recommended!!

The crew was amazing. The fireworks were awesome!! It started out with a booking that was fast and informative. We then started out on the water. Smooth sailing, and the captain was very friendly and personable. They said that the maitais were the best on the island. They weren't kidding!! Overall very well done! A must do, must see, must experience!

My girlfriend and I went on a Star of Honolulu dinner cruise one Friday and we had a blast!
We arrived early and had some drinks before boarding the ship and were greeted with a performance of beautiful Hawaiian dancers. They kept dancing all the time while people were boarding, it was so pretty.
On board everybody was very friendly and welcoming, it felt great. They had to manage a lot of people getting on the ship but the staff seemed relaxed and genuinely happy that we were on board. Our server was particularly sweet, she worked so hard all evening. Although she was incredibly busy she even took the time to chat with us (we both share the same name and were joking around about it). The welcome drink was great (Mai Tai)! And dinner as well. It was so much to eat I was totally stuffed at the end. Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes, and crab legs as much as we could eat (warning: you will think you can eat more but it's already so much you cannot!). All finished off with yummy ice cream desert and coffee. The welcome drink was included, additional drinks had to be paid for but the prices were absolutely reasonable for the type of cruise! The route was beautiful and took us out towards Diamond Head. Even though there were a lot of people on board there is enough room to walk around and get a good spot to watch the sunset or take pictures. Later they started an evening show with lots of different costumes which was fun! We sat very close to the performance and they were again beautiful to watch. After the show they even encouraged everybody to stand up and dance! That was so much fun. Some people were shy but the crew had so much energy themselves they danced and danced and got many people up. Time just flew by! It was so beautiful to see the island and Waikiki/Honolulu from the distance, the lights, night setting in. Definitely recommended as a special trip for your vacation or a very romantic special date with your loved one :)

It was an enjoyable, memorable, unforgettable, and breathtaking Dinner Cruise celebrating my 60th birthday on August 31, 2014 with "Three Star Classic Steak & Lobster Dinner" all the way from Toronto, Canada. Me and 13 guests were very pleased from Customer Service (very friendly staff), food and beverages, and atmosphere. I will surely strongly recommend to all Canadians and non-Canadians. The greatest thing... I felt I was the "STAR" of Honolulu Dinner Cruise guest at the time, as I got lots of attention from STAFF and GUESTS greeting me "Happy birthday." In addition, one of the Polynesian dancers, Emmy C. my cousin daughter watching her dancing, added my day celebrating another Milestone. She and all her co-dancers and all the entertainers did a great job! Kudos!

I will also to thank VELTRA tours and activities Company especially my niece Emily Coloma who booked our reservation. I will surely recommend to all my friends, family, relatives and acquaintances globally. Mahalo!

Was everything that we expected and much more. Good food, great entertainment and a lot of fun. My husband and I went on this fabulous cruise not only for dinner and entertainment but for the beautiful sunset that occurs off the shores of Oahu. Would highly recommend this for everyone...couples, families, and singles!

Great boat, Great food we had the steak and lobster. Beautiful dancing and entertainment.If your in the area I recommend this for any one.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

What a great ride! Crew was great and music was awesome!! We had a blast!!

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

Very fun. Dinner was amazing. Show was amazing, crew was amazing. Very fun and I will do this again when I come back to Oahu.

Had a FABULOUS TIME!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise!! The crew was energetic and courteous!! Would highly recommend and definitely return!!!!

we had the best time , everything was great and the night was perfect we would highly recommend this adventure

I highly recommend this tour for those who are proficient in English or currently studying it! It was the tour where I felt the most like I was abroad, with mostly Westerners participating. It was delightful to enjoy the beautiful sunset with people from around the world. The music playing added to the charm! I found myself enjoying the tunes of Michael Jackson and the Beach Boys, and I ended up drinking a bit too much and getting a little tipsy. Haha!

英語が堪能な方や、勉強中の方に特におすすめ！欧米人がほとんどのツアーで、海外に来た感が一番感じられたツアーでした。美しいサンセットを、世界の方々と堪能できて心地よかったです。音楽がかかっていることも魅力！Michael Jacksonや、Beachboys、気持ちよくてついつい飲みすぎて酔いすぎました。笑

Highly recommend! I've been to Hawaii multiple times and this was my first time on this dinner cruise. The views of Waikiki from the boat are a must. The show was great and so was the food.

The food was great, but the service was fantastic! Brina really made out night special! Thank you so much!

Had a great time! Would recommend to everyone! Show was way better than we expected! Dinner was great! Views were incredible!

Everything was well managed even from the purchase on line of tickets. Pickup was on time in topscale bus. Staff was dressed in 1st class attire. Greeting by staff at dock was nice. Seating was fine with exception of sun shining directly in my husband eyes . it was a little distracting. Dinner and the drinks was great, along with the service. The entertainment after dinner was fantastic. Truly, truly mesmerizing.
Would recommend without hesitation.

great entertainment and food. it was very enjoyable. the kids loved it.

Such a fun evening. Great food, drinks, entertainment, and service! Would highly recommend.

This catamaran sail was great! The crew made us all feel comfortable and safe. Drinks were free and the MaiTais were very tasty. The Captain moored us in a great place to see the fireworks and then sailed towards Waikiki to see a beautiful moon rise. Great tour all the way around.

Beautiful, relaxing cruise. Incredibly helpful crew, especially helping the older folks on board. Bathroom is only for the brave.

We alway do the star of Honolulu. Dinner is awesome. Lobster mmmm. Drinks. A little dancing at the end. With a great view

My wife and I had a great time! The food was good and the staff were all extremely polite and enthusiastic. The show was a treat and the dancers were all very gracious and patient about taking pictures with the guests. The views from the boat of the city and Diamond Head alone were worth the money. We'll surely do it again on our next trip back.

We enjoyed the chill and fun atmosphere. There are two crew: one captain and one lifeguard/firstmate/bartender

Very nice way to spend a Friday night in Waikiki. Generous with drinks and making sure everyone had a good time. The lights from the shoreline made a beautiful sight.

Ian and Clarry were awesome. Laid back with the right attitude. Made sure everyone was comfortable and attended to. Very easy process to get on the catamaran. Great music played during the cruise. I recommend this cruise for those who want to have a few drinks and meet a few new friends.

3 Star was really all-time famous.

seat was really tight due to many passangers.

food was not that great. I guess 5 star only would provide great taste.

other that that, the trip was safe, view - great. Thanks.

I participated because I could see the Hilton fireworks from the sea. There were not many Japanese people, but I was surprised to see many couples with small children (or rather, babies) and pregnant women. Since it was a small boat, the rocking was quite strong, so I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. At the start, we could see the sunset, and after the sun went down, we enjoyed the night view of Waikiki, the moon, light snacks, and cocktails. The snacks were limited in quantity, so make sure not to miss out. I participated in mid-October and brought a windbreaker just in case, but since the weather was nice, I was fine without anything over my sleeveless top. The fireworks lasted for about ten minutes, but they could be seen without any obstructions from the sea. This tour was more affordable than a cruise on a large ship, and since it was a small boat, it was nice to enjoy it with a small group. However, one thing to note is that the pickup location was at Hyatt Regency, which is also a departure point for many other optional tours, leading to a big crowd with large buses and other tour participants, making it very time-consuming to find my tour's pickup vehicle.

ヒルトンの花火を海から見れるということで参加。日本人は少なかったですが、小さな子供（というよりむしろ赤ちゃん連れ）や妊婦さんのカップルがたくさんいてびっくり。小さい船なので揺れは結構は強めなので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必須と思う。スタート時は夕日が見られ、日が沈んだ後はワイキキの夜景や月の鑑賞、軽食とカクテルも楽しめた。軽食は量が限らているので、取り遅れないように。10月中旬の参加で、念のためウィンドブレーカーを持って行っていたが、天気が良かったせいかノースリーブのまま上にはおるものがなくても平気だった。花火の時間は10数分ですが、海側からなんのさえぎりもなく見られます。大型船でのクルーズよりはお得で、また小さい船なので少人数でゆっくりみられるこのツアーはよかったです。ただ一つ言えば、送迎のピックアップ場所がハイアットリージェンシーだったが、そこはほかの多くのオプショナルツアー出発場所にもなっていて、大型バスとほかのツアー参加者とで大混雑、自分のツアーの送迎車が来たのかどうかを見つけるのが非常に時間がかかった。

This catamaran sunset cocktail cruise was very enjoyable. Mai Tai's were great... My husband is still talking about them. Crew was awesome. Boat was comfortable and fireworks were actually really good for a random Tuesday night. Would definitely recommend!
