All Reviews for Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruises

I often participated in sunset cruises, but this was my first time joining a cruise while watching fireworks! The departure after dark created a wonderful atmosphere, and the fireworks were beautifully visible, making it a truly lovely experience!

サンセットのクルージングはよく参加していましたが、花火を見ながらのクルージングは初めての参加でした！
暗くなってからの出航でとても雰囲気も良く、花火も綺麗に見れてとても素敵な時間でした！！

The fireworks from the sea were simply wonderful, as if I could have them all to myself. The drinks were free, but there were no snacks, so I might need to bring some, haha. I would love to participate again.

花火を独り占め出来る程　海からの花火は素敵の一言　お酒もフリーです。おつまみは無いので持参かも笑笑　また参加したいです。

Watching fireworks from the sea. I was worried about the weather due to the heavy rain the day before, but I'm glad it went ahead. From my seat, I couldn't take good photos because people's heads and sails were in the way. They changed the direction of the boat towards the end, but I wish they had done it a bit earlier so that everyone could see equally well. I think that's enough... It's better to watch fireworks from the beach.

海上からの花火鑑賞。
前日の大雨で天候が心配だったけど、決行出来て良かったです。
座ってる席からは人の頭や帆が邪魔をして上手く写真を撮れなかった。
船の向きをほぼ終わり頃に変えてくれたけど、もう少し早く、どの席の人も平等に見えるように変えてほしかったです。
これはもういいかな…
花火は浜辺から見た方がいいです。

Wonderful time!! Beautiful view of Waikiki and sunset. Also a whale sighting.

One of the best parts of my Hawaii experience was the time I had with these guys. They gave me an awesome time, and I’ve been talking about it all day the next day, lol.

Thank you to the crew on the three tiki catamaran. We had a blast and three of you were all terrific. Mahalo 🤙

At the end of the day the price come to worth, you get to have welcome show , beautiful view, delicious food, dangerous but tasty drinks, and party at the end of the trip.

Good food selection at the buffet, and the boat is big so it is not too choppy on the waters.

The boat was large, I wish it was a bit more personal smaller tour, but nonetheless evening was filled with smiles!

Food was delicious, entertainment beautiful. We had a 2 yo with us and while they provided orange juice for him as his complimentary drink, he received no fork or napkin. When we asked for one, the waiter said he would see if he could find one and never came back. There were also dinner rolls in the table for all except the child. We were told we had to share ours with him.

Cruise was ok.. but not worth the price. The food was ok as some was good and desserts were bad. It was a buffet so you can go back for second of u liked it. No need to dress up. Everyone was in shorts and beach type clothes. .. will I tell someone to do the cruise again- absolutely not. Keep your money. Now the sun set price on the boat was the best thing going it cost $30.. they give u a cool frame . But technically I had the same picture on my phone ..

We were in Hawaii for my 60th birthday, girl trip! The crew of the cruise were very friendly and we had a great time! Recommend!

If we had departed a little earlier, we would have been able to see the beautiful night view of Honolulu illuminated by the sunset. A departure at 6 PM in December is too late.

On the other hand, we had to wait quite a while in the cold on the boat until the fireworks started, and once they began, they ended in a short time, leaving us feeling unsatisfied.

もう少し早い出港であれば夕日に映えるホノルルの夜景が見えたはず。12月の18時発は遅すぎる。
一方、花火が始まるまでに寒い船上で随分待たされ、花火が始まったら短時間で終了してしまい、物足りなく思った。

We had a great experience seeing the fireworks on a Friday evening. The boat ride is about an hour. The firework was about a good 10 minutes (two parts) but you will be not be able to see fireworks sitting in the Waikiki beach area so recommend making a reservation with Ke Kai as they know the spot where the firework takes place. We were expecting the firework to be a little longer but that is okay. Drinks are included in the package. Definitely be coming back! Thank you for making it a great night.

Had a wonderful sail. Beautiful view of city and lights at night . Clear view of fireworks show. Clean boat. Friendly staff.

The sunset and night view are beautiful.
The service was good, and the meat was delicious.
I paid for a window seat guarantee, but it felt like I wasted my money since only the window seats were used.
The price was high, so my expectations were great, but there was no excitement that matched the cost.
Everyone was unsure whether to tip or not.
If a tip is necessary, it should be stated in advance; otherwise, it's unfortunate for the serving crew.

夕日と夜景は綺麗です。
サービスも良く、お肉は美味しかった。
窓側確約料金を払ったが、実際は窓側しか使用されておらず、無駄なお金を払ってしまった気分になった。
料金が高いので期待が大きかったが、料金に見合った感動はない。
チップを払うのか否か皆が迷っていた。
チップが必要なら事前に記載しないと、サーブする船員の方々がかわいそうだ。

We had a special night on the ke Kai watching the Friday night fireworks.

Staff were all lovely was a great vibe on the catamaran.

So nice seeing Waikīkī at night like that, the fireworks themselves don’t go for too long but still was magic.

We went with our kids and they loved it.

Had an absolute great time. It was a nice day outside, the water was calm. The staff was very nice, greeting, helpful with questions. The food was good, the buffet I couldn't complain. The chicken and roast beef were top notch as well as the salads and desserts. The entertainment was fun, learned out to do some Polynesian dancing on board and the dancers were really good and crowd uplifting. I would do it again. Cruise was about 2-3 hours on the water. Definitely good views of the sunset for photo taking.

I boarded three times before the COVID-19 pandemic. The atmosphere was nice, and there were staff members who could speak Japanese. I was really looking forward to this trip to Hawaii after a long time, but the staff prioritized foreign guests and were not friendly towards Japanese guests. The drinks I ordered took over 30 minutes to arrive, and they didn't even ask if I wanted a refill on the bread. The only saving grace was the beautiful fireworks from Hilton. Overall, I'm just disappointed.

コロナ禍前に3回乗船しました。
雰囲気も良く、日本語も出来るスタッフもいました。今回久しぶりのハワイでとっても楽しみにしてましたが、スタッフは外人のゲストファーストで、日本人には愛想無し。頼んだドリンクは30分以上来ない。パンのおかわりさえ聞かない。唯一ヒルトンの花火が綺麗だった事が救い。
とにかく残念の一言

Overall is very good. The lobster is very tasty, the steak is great, the view to the fire work is amazing, the crews are super friendly, the dance performance is fantastic. We enjoyed the dance at the end with a lot of laughs & funs together. Highly recommended.

The window-side seat on the top floor had a great view and the food was delicious. However, the size of the steak was clearly smaller than those at the surrounding tables, which was disappointing. Additionally, they did not bring water to us or other Japanese guests.

I felt a bit sad about various things, but the evening and night views were wonderful, and we could see the fireworks well, so I think it was still a good experience. I believe those who participate can enjoy it if they have a relaxed mindset.

窓際席、一番上の階で景色も良くお料理も美味しかったです。しかし、ステーキの大きさが周りのテーブルより明らかに小さく、残念な気持ちになりました。また、私たちや他の日本人にはお水を持ってきてくれませんでした。
色々悲しい気持ちでしたが、夕景、夜景は素晴らしく花火も良く観れたので良かったのかなとは思います。
参加される方は心にゆとりがあれば楽しめるとは思います。

The sunset cruise was absolutely gorgeous and worth of your time. It was our anniversary with my wife and had a wonderful evening with the awesome Hula show and with the friendly crew members on board. Customer service was excellent and we will be coming back shortly. Food was of course great too and my favorite part was the BBQ chicken with the MaiTai cocktail!

From the photos, the cheaper options have a beer garden-like atmosphere. I chose the most expensive one. There were many people celebrating honeymoons or anniversaries, creating a calm yet lively ambiance with live piano and saxophone music.

Great experience, the staff on the boat were really personable and experienced.
Reminder to those going on the catamaran, wear shorts or something you don’t mind getting wet, no denim or something that will take. Whole to dry as you have to walk through the water to get on the boat and you have to time the stair climb with the waves.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. The instructions on where to check in were clear and there was a water tap to rinse our feet off after which was nice. This catamaran was smaller than any others I had been on which was great for easy on and off. The mai tai’s were really good too!! Much better than some of the hotel bars we have had.

Celebrating my wife's birthday on the Star of Honolulu! It was organized from the time we were picked up at our hotel by bus to being seated at our reserved table. The ship is divided by what package you purchase (excellent idea). We got a chance to watch fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel beach. But was wonderful was the breezes off the ocean in addition to the wonderful sunset while you have your meal. Your meal is brought to your table by the fantastic wait staff. Live music is performed while dining. Later, there is a hula/chaka show. Before you know it, the night is over. My wife received a special birthday cake that was light as a feather and delicious. We ended our stay in Oahu with this dinner cruise. Best time spent. Would do it again just for the sunsets.

Fantastic firework show .The crew was amazing. Great music .took my mom for her 85th birthday and she had the time of her life. The drinks kept coming.The fireworks show was fantastic.Everyone was pleasant.Would definitely do this excursion again!
I Recommend highly.

I capped off our 20th wedding anniversary with this Sunset Cruise. My wife and I were tremendously pleased with everything from start to finish. From the greetings to fireworks everything was on point. The food was delicious and the wait staff was impeccable. The live jazz music was great. I recommend you get the luxury experience with all the options. We enjoyed the 5 star treatment. It was classy and sophisticated. This will be a very memorable experience.

The Sunset Dinner Cruise, a luxurious 5-star experience, has upgraded its seating options to include window-side choices. The piano performance and live show were dreamy. The optional wine was so good that I wanted to have more, and the time flew by.

サンセット・ディナークルーズ豪華5スターは、更にシートもバージョンアップし窓際をオプション選択ピアノ演奏と生のライブショーは、夢心地でした。
オプションのワインもお替りをしたいぐらいで、あっという間のひと時でした。

Food was delicious, creds to the chefs! The firework show as well was awesome.

On the last day of my trip, I wanted to feel a bit luxurious and wrap up my enjoyable memories. As expected from 5STAR! The course dinner was very delicious (^.^). The sunset and the lights of Waikiki from the sea were as beautiful as jewels! The stylish atmosphere with jazz will surely create unforgettable memories with my loved ones.

旅の最終日にちょっとリッチな気分で楽しい思い出の締めくくり。
さすが5STAR！コースディナーの味もとても美味しくいただきました(^.^)
サンセットも海上から見るワイキキの灯も宝石みたいなキレイさ！
JAZZでオシャレな雰囲気は大切な方との生涯忘れられない思い出になると思います。
