All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

We had a wonderful time out on the Makani Catermeran this week. The crew was very friendly, funny and accomodating. The boat ride was also very smooth ( per the weather conditions ) and all of us looked like we had a great time. We never felt cramped, the boat was plenty large enough. Food was pretty good as well as the drinks!!! We stuffed our selves! One of the crew even fished as we sailed along, unfortunately nothing was caught this time out. The views of waikiki and diamond head were amazing! It was great to get to see the skyline from the ocean. The sunset was beautiful and was timed great on our way back! Thank you everyone at Makani Catameran!

The dinner cruise we participated in was completely different from any other dinner cruise we've been on. First, we were picked up at 4 PM, which felt early for a dinner cruise.

The boat was small with an open bottom, making it feel like it was on skis. On the day we went, we were the only Japanese guests, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, everything was in English, but that was fine.

As soon as we set sail, a buffet-style meal began. However, the selection was limited, and it wasn't really what you would call a dinner buffet. There were too few tables for everyone to eat at the same time. Up to that point, I thought this cruise was a bit disappointing, but I was surprised when we went out onto the deck. The waves were high that day, and the boat was moving at an incredible speed, riding over the waves like surfing, which was really thrilling. It felt like the boat itself was an attraction, and while I was scared it might capsize, I had a lot of fun. The other guests were also very excited.

There was a deck at the front of the boat where you could stand and get splashed with water. The front area had a net-like seating arrangement, allowing us to see the ocean below through the mesh. It was quite impressive. Instead of enjoying a meal on the dinner cruise, we found a different kind of enjoyment and were very satisfied. I recommend wearing casual clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

After the thrilling experience, we slowly moved towards Diamond Head, where we enjoyed a peaceful moment that was quite different from earlier. During sunset, we had a relaxing time and took many photos. The tour ended when the sun went down, so we returned earlier than on a typical dinner cruise. By the time we left, even though we couldn't communicate well, the Americans who were also on the cruise made an effort to communicate with us, which was enjoyable.

I wouldn't recommend this for those who want to enjoy a dinner, but for those who want to experience the thrill of the boat, it was an excellent cruise.

参加したディナークルーズは今まで参加したディナークルーズとは全く違いました。まず迎えに来てもらうのが16時。ディナークルーズにしては早いなって思いながらの参加でした。
船は小さく船底が開いている…船がスキー板をはいている感じです。参加した日は日本人は私たち夫婦だけでした。スタッフも日本語が話せないので全て英語でしたが大丈夫でした。
出航するとすぐにバイキング形式の食事が始まりました。食事と言っても品数は少なくてとてもディナーバイキングと呼べる料理ではありませんでした。テーブルも少なくて全員が一斉には食事出来ない席数です。ここまではこのクルージングはいまいちかと思っていましたがデッキへ出てびっくりしました。私が参加した日は波が高くて沖にすごいスピードで船が進んで行くので波乗りのように波を渡っていきそれはそれはすごい迫力でした。船そのものがアトラクションのようで転覆しないかとすごく怖かったけどすごく楽しかったです。外人さん達も大盛り上がりでした。船の先端にデッキがありそこに立つと水しぶきですごく濡れます。前方は網で編んだような座れるところになっていて下は海が網の目から見れます。すごい迫力です。ディナークルーズで食事を楽しむよりは違った楽しみ方で大満足でした。服は濡れてもいいようにカジュアルが良いと思います。アトラクションのようなスリルの後はゆっくり進んでダイヤモンドヘッドが見れて先ほどとは違った静かな時間が流れました。サンセットの時もゆったりした時間で写真もたくさん撮れました。日が沈むと終了のツアーなので通常のディナークルーズより帰りは早いです。帰る頃には言葉は通じないけど参加していたアメリカの人達が一生懸命コミュニケーションをとってくれて楽しかったです。ディナーを楽しみたい人にはあまりおすすめしませんが船の迫力を楽しみたい人には最高のクルージングでした。

The breeze was very pleasant, and I was able to enjoy both the sunset and the night view! The crew and participants were very energetic, and it felt like being in a nightclub or bar. The meeting point was a bit hard to find.

風がとても気持ちよく、サンセットと夜景と両方楽しめました！クルーも参加者もテンション高く、なんだかナイトクラブやバーにいる気分でした。集合場所が分かりにくかったです。

Great food, great service, friendly and attentive staff. The show was awesome would love to do it again when we come back in 2019!!

The sunset sailing was beautiful, with the sunset being particularly stunning. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite nice. A rainbow appeared as well. There were two handsome staff members.

Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I was very satisfied as a fan of alcohol.

A point to note is that you board the boat barefoot, so I recommend wearing flip-flops. Also, there aren't enough seats for everyone, so it's better to board early. We ended up being quite late, so there were no seats for us, but eventually, someone stood up and we were able to sit in their spot. The sunset happens during the second half of the sailing, so sitting until the sun sets and then standing to watch is a good idea. It sways quite a bit, so pack lightly.

The meeting place was by the Outrigger Reef, but I mistakenly went to the Outrigger and got quite flustered. Make sure not to mix them up.

サンセットセーリングだけあって、夕陽がとてもきれいでした。海から見るワイキキの街並みもなかなかなでした。虹も出ましたよ。スタッフはイケメンの２人。
お酒は飲み放題なので、お酒好きの私は大満足。
注意点は船には裸足で乗るので、靴はビーサンくらいがいいと思います。あと、座席は人数分ではないので、早めに乗った方がいいです。私たちはかなり遅くなってしまったので、座席はありませんでしたが、途中、立つ人がいて空いたところに座れました。夕陽はセーリング後半なので、途中まで座って陽が暮れたら立って見るのもいいですね。かなり揺れるので荷物は少な目に。あと集合場所は「アウトリガー・リーフ」の海辺だったのですが、間違えて「アウトリガー」に行ってしまい、かなり焦りました。お間違えなく。

Had an amazing Time the entire crew was amazing!! Will def be booking again when I'm back in Hawaii!!

Since I have a 6-month-old and a nearly 3-year-old, I thought a formal cruise might be too much, so I chose this option. However, both my mother in her 70s and I are prone to seasickness, so we took motion sickness medication. The boat rocked quite a bit, and while I took the full recommended dose and was on the verge of seasickness, my mother, who took half, ended up completely seasick. My husband and the kids, who usually don’t get seasick, were fine. After a while out at sea, the seasickness settled down, but those prone to it should be cautious.

The boat is small, and everyone was dressed casually, making for a relaxed cruising experience. There are no assigned seats, so you can sit wherever you like on a first-come, first-served basis. Hawaiian music played before departure, which really set the mood. After we set sail, ballads from artists like The Beatles filled the air, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I was mesmerized by the pink-tinted sea. And then there was the green flash! I’m not entirely sure since it wasn’t a bright green, but the crew member shouted "green flash!" so I believe that’s what it was. The sunset, which shone brightly before fading away, left a strong impression.

The food was light snacks, but it was delicious. Even my 3-year-old ate well. Our family was the only one with kids; most of the participants were white. Since the kids behaved quietly, I don’t think we were looked at disapprovingly. A friendly woman in her 60s approached me while I was holding the baby, which made me happy.

As a side note, a fishing rod set up at the back of the boat got a hit, and we caught a fish about 60 cm long. It seemed to be very exciting for the 3-year-old boy.

6か月とそろそろ3歳の子連れなので、格式高いクルージングは無理かな…と思い、こちらを選択しました。ただ、私も70台の母も船酔い体質なため、酔い止めを飲みました。が、かなり船は揺れたため、規定量の全量飲んだ私は船酔い一歩手前、半量飲んだ母は完全な船酔いに…。あまり酔わない夫と子供たちは大丈夫でした。沖に出てしばらくすると船酔いも落ち着きましたが、船酔いする人は要注意です。

船は小さく、参加者も皆ラフな服装なので、カジュアルに楽しめるクルージングです。席は決まっていないので、先着順に好きな席に座れます。出航前から、ハワイアンミュージックが流れており、ムードが高まりました。出航後はビートルズなどのバラード系の洋楽が流れ、雰囲気満点でした。
夕陽はとても美しく、ピンクに染まる海にうっとりでした。そしてグリーンフラッシュ！はっきりとした緑色ではなかったので自信はないですが、船員さんが「green flash!」と叫んだので,
きっとそうなのだと思っています。最後にピカッと光ったあとにスッと消えた夕陽はとても印象的でした。

ご飯は軽食ですが、美味しかったです。3歳の子も良く食べていました。
子連れは私たち家族だけで、ほとんどは白人でした。子供たちが大人しくしてくれていたので、白い目で見られることはなかったと思います。赤ちゃんを抱っこしていたら白人の60台くらいの女性からフレンドリーに話しかけられて嬉しかったです。
余談ですが、船尾にしかけた釣り竿がヒットし、60㎝くらいの魚を釣り上げていました。3歳の男の子にはとっても面白かったようでした。

We waited for over 30 minutes past the meeting time before boarding finally began. Your feet will definitely get wet when you get on, so it's better to wear flip-flops. If you don't want to get wet on the boat, it's best to sit in the middle. The front and back ends will definitely get wet. However, it was fun, like an amusement park attraction. I was a little worried about getting seasick, but I was totally fine. In addition to Mai Tai, there are also unlimited soft drinks like juice. The music ranged from nostalgic tunes to recent hits, and by the end, many young Japanese people were dancing along. About half of the guests were Japanese. In the end, everyone, including the crew and foreigners, became friendly. We stopped until the sunset, and the view was amazing. The price is also reasonable, so I highly recommend this tour!

集合時間より30分以上待たされてやっと乗船開始でした。乗るときに足元は絶対に濡れます。ビーサンで行った方がいいです。船で濡れたくないなら真ん中の席に座った方がいいです。前方や後方の両端は絶対に濡れます。でも遊園地のアトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。酔ってしまうかなとちょっと心配しましたが私は全然平気でした。マイタイの他にジュースなどのソフトドリンクも飲み放題です。音楽も懐かしいのから最近のヒット曲までかかって最後は若い人は日本人もノリノリで踊ってました。半分位が日本人でした。最後は乗組員や外国人含めてみんな仲良しになりますよー。夕陽が沈むまでは停止して景色が最高でした。お値段もお安いしオス
スメのツアーです！

We had one of the best experiences! So much fun and it's something I will never forget! Defiantly would recommend!

We attended the sunset cocktail cruise and had a lot of fun! Both the bartender and captain were very friendly. We had been on several other sunset cruises and this one is easily one of the best. We encountered some waves which everyone enjoyed. Try the Holokai cocktail!

My fellow bridesmaids and I took 25 women on the cocktail cruise as part of a bachelorette party. Everyone had a great time and raved about the experience! The crew was great as were the drinks! Highly recommend for a group or family!!

You can enjoy a pleasant cruise. The drinks are delicious, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea are fantastic. There are quite a few foreigners on board, and the atmosphere is lively, so if you can get used to that, it might be even more fun.

気持ちいいクルーズが楽しめます。ドリンクを美味しく、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも最高です。外人多めでテンション高めなので、それになれれば、さらに楽しいかも。

I had a wonderful time with the best crew and the best passengers. We boarded barefoot and raced along while enjoying the refreshing breeze. We ordered cocktails, beer, champagne, and whatever we liked as we ventured further out to sea. We took a lot of photos. It was a very enjoyable cruise.

最高のクルーと最高の乗船者達とのひとときを過ごしました。裸足で乗船し、爽やかな風を浴びながら疾走します。カクテル、ビール、シャンパンなど好きなものを頼んで、どんどん沖に行きます。写真も沢山撮りました。とても楽しいクルーズでした。

It was great to see various aspects of Waikiki from bright daylight to nighttime. The waves added a thrill, almost like a little attraction! I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly, and the view of Waikiki's night scenery from the ocean was wonderful.

明るい時間から、夜景の時間まで、いろいろなワイキキが見れてよかったです
波もあって、ちょっとしたアトラクションみたいでスリル満点です！
サンセットもゆっくり見れたし、海から見るワイキキの夜景が素敵でした

My wife and I had a great time. The scenery was amazing and we got some really good pictures. The food was really good also.

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.

到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました

Overall, it was good, but heading towards the sunset was impossible. Since we set sail after sunset, it was a bit disappointing to board in complete darkness, illuminated only by the searchlight. The sailing itself was very nice. The wind was strong, but it felt great.

全般的には良かったのですが、夕陽に向かって⁇は、無理でした。日没後の出航なので、真っ暗中、サーチライトに照らされながらの乗船でちょっと残念でした。
セーリングは大変良かったです。風が強かったですが、気持ちよく過ごせました。

The pickup was a bit confusing since other tours gathered at the same location, but I was relieved that we were picked up safely. After arriving, we waited a little before boarding. The boat was smaller than I expected. Right after boarding, there was an announcement about safety instructions in the dining area, but it was all in English. There were no other Japanese people besides us, which made me a bit worried, but I managed to understand most of it with some listening skills. They explained the locations of the life jackets and the restrooms. The meal was served buffet-style, with white rice, taro, spring rolls, beef and vegetable stir-fry, BBQ chicken, and boiled vegetables. There weren't many options, but since I was worried about seasickness, it was enough for me. We had a small child with us, but they didn't mind at all, and we were able to relax. The area with a net stretched over the water below was a lovely spot. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the dazzling sea before sunset, and we were very satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. The child seemed impressed and kept saying, "The sky is red!" Even the family members who were seasick felt better after watching the beautiful sunset! I’m really glad we participated. I highly recommend this tour!

ピックアップは、他のツアーも同じ場所で集合があり、少し分かりづらかったものの、無事ピックアップしていただけて安心しました。
到着後、少し待ってから乗船しました。
思っていたより小さな船でした。
乗り込んですぐに、船内の食事スペースで乗船の注意事項の案内がありましたが、全て英語です。
日本人は私達意外おらず、少し心配でしたが、多少のヒアリング力で大体分かりました。
ライフカードの場所、トイレの場所等の説明でした。
食事はビュッフェ形式です。
白米、タロ芋、春巻、ビーフと野菜炒め、BBQチキン、茹で野菜等がありました。
品数は多くはなかったですが、船酔いが心配であまり食べられなかったので十分でした。
小さい子連れでしたが、嫌がられる事もなく、安心して過ごせました。
水上を真下にネットが張ってあるスペースは素敵な場所でした。
天候にも恵まれ、サンセット前の眩しい海を堪能してから、キレイなサンセットをしっかり見られ大満足でした。
子どもも印象的だったようで、お空が赤！とずっと言っていました。
船酔いしていた家族も美しいサンセットを見ていたら船酔いも解消された！と大満足でした。
参加してとても良かったです。
オススメのツアーです！

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to see a show that would let me experience Hawaii, so I booked this one right in front of the Sheraton Waikiki where I was staying.

There were hula dances and fire dances, of course, but also shows featuring Elvis, Michael, and Katy Perry, which was different from what I had imagined. However, it was a good experience to see American entertainment.

After taking commemorative photos, I received a welcome drink, a Mai Tai, and moved to my seat in the front row. By the way, the photos were available for purchase at $25, and since they turned out to be surprisingly good, I decided to buy them (including a photo of Elvis and three others).

I had reserved a VIP seat, so after being seated, the meal began, but it was arranged to eat before the show started. I entered about 15 minutes late, so the meal felt a bit rushed, but it was all delicious, starting with the main set of steak and salmon.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience for my first time in Hawaii.

初ハワイでしたので、ハワイを感じられるショーを見ておこうと思い、宿泊していたシェラトンワイキキ目の前のこちらを予約しました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスはもちろん、エルビスやマイケル、ケイティペリーのショーもあるなど、想像していたステージとは違っていましたが、アメリカンエンターテインメントを見ることができてよい経験でした。
記念の写真撮影を撮影後、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイを受け取り、ステージ正面の1階席に移動。ちなみに写真は25ドルで購入可能で、思いのほか良い写真だったので購入しました。（エルビス他3人の写真もセット）
今回はVIP席で予約していたため、着席後は食事が始まるのですが、ショーが始まる前に食べる段取りでした。15分ほど遅刻しての入場であったため、やや急かされての食事でしたが、メインのステーキとサーモンのセットをはじめ、一通り美味しい食事でした。
初ハワイとしては満足の経験でした。

A fun filled night with good singing and dancing. Entertaining for all ages!

Best sunset sail we have been on! Crew was awesome!

It was our first day in Hawaii with our 4, 8, and 11-year-old children, and even though we couldn't speak any English, the atmosphere was amazing. The staff was friendly, and everyone on board was in a good mood with drinks. Compared to other boats, the vibe was great, and I would love to ride on the same boat again.

4、8、11歳の子供と初めてのハワイで初日だったのですが、英語も全く喋れないのに、最高の雰囲気で、スタッフも親切、乗っているみんなお酒が入って気分良く過ごせました。 他の船より、ノリが良くまた同じ船に乗りたいと思います。

We enjoyed the show and thought it was quite professional

Great way to see d island , eat and relax. D food was great and staff friendly and accommodating

I participated in a cocktail cruise on the Friday of the fireworks event. There were no white chairs as a landmark. The reception was at 7 PM and the departure was at 7:30 PM, but we actually left at 7:45 PM, just a few minutes before the fireworks started. We cruised for about an hour afterward, but I couldn't tell where the hotels in Waikiki were, as I could only see the lights without any clear landmarks. I think it would have been better around sunset. However, the starry sky was absolutely beautiful! Since it was late, I quickly became sleepy and spent most of the cruise dozing off (T_T). On the boat, upbeat songs were playing from the DJ, and the bartender was making drinks while a young group was having a great time. I got the impression that it might not be suitable for older guests. There are various nighttime cruises available, like dinner cruises, so it's best to choose one that suits you!

花火開催日の金曜のカクテルクルーズに参加しました。目印の白い椅子はありません。受付19時出航19:30でしたが、19:45に出航し数分後に花火が。その後1時間程クルーズしましたが、ワイキキ界隈のホテルは灯りが灯る様子だけで何処がどの辺りかわからない。サンセットの頃の方が良かったです。ただ、星空が凄く素敵でした！時間が時間なので直ぐ眠くなってしまい、クルーズ中ほぼ寝てました(T_T) 船内ではDJ選曲のアップテンポな曲がかかりバーテンダーがドリンクを作ってくれ、若いグループがキャッキャ言うてました^_^ 年配層には向かないかなーーって印象です。夜のクルーズ船はディナークルーズなど数々あるので、ご自分に合ったものを選ぶと良いですヨ

There was also a Hawaiian dinner, but I opted for the affordable all-you-can-eat appetizers. It included four items like Thai-style grilled chicken and meatballs, along with a dessert cake. While it didn't feel luxurious, considering the $30 difference, the sunset, night view, and hula dance were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

ハワイアンディナーもあったのですが、金額の安いアペタイザー食べ放題にしました。タイ風の焼き鳥、肉団子など４品とデザートのケーキで、豪華感はなかったですが３０ドルの違いがあるとかと言えば、サンセットや夜景、フラダンスなどの主役は素晴らしく、充分堪能できました。

At the time of departure, there were dark clouds in the western sky, and I was feeling like I would have to give up on the sunset, but surprisingly, the sun broke through the clouds at sunset, and it was amazing. A group of about ten cheerful Americans really lifted the atmosphere. I think $45 for all-you-can-drink is a great price. I want to go again next year.

出航時には、西の空に黒い雲がかかってサンセットは諦め気分でしたが、なんと、日没には雲の間から夕日が出てきて最高でした。
10名ほどのアメリカ人の団体さんが陽気で、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれました。ドリンクフリーで45ドルはお値打ち価格だと思います。来年もまた乗りたいです。

We had a wonderful time on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. Met really nice people. The Crew was a lot of fun teaching us the hula. The sunset was beautiful. The food was great. Very organized.

Before the show started, I enjoyed a welcome drink, a Mai Tai, and was treated to cut fruits and macadamia nuts before entering. We had dinner at a VIP table in front of the stage. The lobster was half, but the steak was decent. My wife and I attended together, and she wore a dress she got the day before at a shop in Waikiki, while I dressed up a bit too, filled with excitement for the dinner. The dessert and the final Kona coffee were also very delicious.

Soon, everyone who was only attending the show entered, and the show was about to begin. Elvis Presley had a great atmosphere, and Michael Jackson's dancing was wonderful, receiving applause for his moonwalk. Katy Perry was a bit unfamiliar to us in our 50s, but it was fun and lively. The Hawaiian show and fire dance were packed with entertainment, making it a fantastic show. Above all, the performers' dedication was remarkable, which I believe was a major factor in our enjoyment. After the show, everyone was waiting at the exit, casually taking photos and signing autographs, which allowed us to capture great pictures.

My wife was also at her maximum excitement, and we truly felt we had a wonderful experience. It was a luxurious and enjoyable night in Waikiki to see an entertainment show that combined the essence of Las Vegas with Hawaiian flair, all from a VIP perspective.

ショーの始まる前にウィルカムドリンクのマイタイを頂き、カットフルーツやマカダミアナッツ等でおもてなし後入場しました

家内もテンションMAXで本当にいい体験が出来たと感じました。本場ラスベガスのエンターティメントショーに、ハワイアンが加味された素晴らしくも楽しいディショーをVIPで見れるなんて贅沢で楽しいワイキキの夜でした。

Veltra's response was prompt, and I was grateful that there were no worries before the trip. The sunset was breathtaking. I definitely want to participate again next time.

Veltraの対応は迅速で、旅行前の不安がないのがまず有難かった。感動のサンセット。また次回も是非参加したいです。
