All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

I signed up for this cruise because I wanted to experience the best sunset on the last day. The waves were rolling right in front of me, sparkling and creating an incredible atmosphere. The weather was also perfect, allowing for an emotional sunset. I think it's definitely better than being on a cruise ship. I will participate in this again next time.

最終日に最高のサンセットに出合いたくてこのクルーズに申し込みました。波が目の前でうねりキラキラ輝いていて臨場感が半端ないです。天気も最高によかったので感動的なサンセットが見れました。クルーズ船より断然いいと思います。次回もこれには参加すると思います。

fireworks were amazing. Ride was great and just long enough. Very relaxing. Crew members were nice and funny. Drinks were delicious.

Great time on the boat! Drinks were good, people were nice & a whale and her baby gave us a show! Not to mention the sunset was just great! Will surely do it again!!

It was a very special time. The staff all spoke English. They also provided explanations about the restrooms and other things. It was on a boat. There was an all-you-can-drink option. Almost everyone ordered a Mai Tai cocktail. They were very accommodating with refills. There were also other drinks available, including sparkling wine and white wine. Knowing it was all-you-can-drink, I brought some snacks. I wasn't particularly scolded for eating, and it felt like it was okay. An overseas guest who was on board praised it as the best Mai Tai they had ever had. It was very easy to drink.

When getting on and off the boat, your feet can get wet. I recommend bringing a towel or a cover-up. The staff is very kind and offers to help.

The view from the boat is amazing. The sunset over the horizon was beautiful, and we were able to see the sun setting.

It was very special time.
とても素敵な時間でした。スタッフは全員が英語でした。トイレなどの説明もしてくれました。船にあります。飲み放題でした。マイタイカクテルをほぼ全員が注文。おかわりも、快くいれてくれます。また、ちがうドリンクやスパークリングワインや白ワインなどもありました。飲み放題と知ってたので、スナックを持ち込みました。特に食べていて注意されたりはなく、オッケーという感じでした。一緒に乗っていた海外の方はこれまでに飲んだマイタイの中で一番おいしいと絶賛していました。とても飲みやすかったです。
船に乗り込むときやおりるときに足がぬれます。タオルやはおりものを一枚もっていくのをおすすめします。スタッフが手を貸してくれたりします。とても親切でした。
船からの景色は最高です。水平線に夕日がきれいで、太陽が沈むところまでみれました。

It was perfect, the food, the sunset, fireworks and staff, we even met some very nice people aboard as well, the whole experience made our vacation even better

There are various cruises, but I think this one is the best. First of all, it's close to nature! You can feel the waves and the wind while boarding barefoot. It's also great that you can take pictures with the cheerful staff and enjoy free drinks. Soaking in the romantic atmosphere while watching the sunset is the best. It would be even better if I could speak more English.

いろんなクルーズがありますが1番イイと思います。まず何と言っても自然に近い！波や風を感じて裸足で乗船。陽気なスタッフと写真を撮ったり、ドリンクもフリーなのがまた嬉しい。サンセットを見ながらロマンチックな雰囲気に浸るのも最高です。後は英語がもっとできるとなお良い。

My friend and I had a really enjoyable time on the Makani Sunset Dinner Sailing cruise. Used the shuttle service that picked up right at the hotel and was comfortable, convenient and the driver was professional and courteous. The check-in process was simple and easy. The ship itself was in good condition, larger size and the group was manageable, good mix of people and not overcrowded. The Captain was professional yet casual and fun along with the staff including the entertaining bartender. The drinks were fun and good and the food was also good and filling and good mix of options with more than enough for seconds. The cruise itself was a highly enjoyable great experience on the water, view of Waikiki and the Crater. The full moon over the crater was an awesome treat along with the crew keeping the boat in perfect position to watch the Friday night fireworks. They returned the boat right on time and the shuttle back was also convenient. All-in-all, it was a great experience and recommend it to others.

Do not skimp on this cruise... The window seating is spacious and the views are breathtaking! And when you arrive back@ the Harbor, you will be allowed off first. No cramped, uncomfortable seating and no waiting for your meal or to exit off. We're not impatient people but when you have small children and want the views this upgrade is worthy.

The deluxe dinner cruise was great! We upgraded to the window seating and that was a fantastic choice for our family. The investment was worthwhile.The children had front views of the water and full moon. The dinner was good but the beef was the highlight. It was so tender like prime rib! So good!
The fireworks were nice and the entertainment was engaging. The entire staff including the Captain were hospitable and welcoming. It was our second cruise with Navatek but our children's first and it's definitely one of our families' favorite excursions.

This was a wonderful ending to our week vacation in Hawaii. The staff on the catamaran were very friendly and helpful and made you feel comfortable and like you were part of their family. The fireworks from this vantage point was a great way to complete our Hawaiian vacation. Would highly recommend this activity.

This dinner cruise was very entertaining and relaxed. We came away at the end of the night thoroughly impressed. The staff on board were very nice, they talked to us personally about Hawaii and what to do while we were staying. The dinner was buffet style and the food was very tasty. Be sure to take warm clothing, as it got later into the night there was a cool sea breeze. The fireworks were impressive, however even without the fireworks the dinner cruise would still be just as good. The boat was in lovely condition and fit lots of people easily. The 2 free drinks was an extra bonus! Overall, we had a lovely night out and would highly recommend as a lovely night out on the water in Honolulu.

I was completely satisfied with this thrilling experience! I was looking forward to the show in Las Vegas, and it was on a different level compared to Japanese impersonations. It was pure entertainment. I now have another wonderful memory from our spring break trip with my daughter. The backstage tour was a super VIP experience with welcome champagne and a warm greeting from the performers, allowing us to have a great time. Elvis was so cool. Michael was there too. And Lady Gaga! There was a reveal, and we even got to take pictures together, which was fun. The food was surprisingly delicious, especially since I went in with no expectations for the dinner show. I enjoyed lobster, steak, and dessert, which I rarely get to eat in Japan. We had front-row VIP seats. During the show, the performers came to our seats singing and even gave us a kiss on the cheek as part of the VIP service, making it a fun experience. Overall, the VIP treatment was astonishing, and it was a rare experience that I thoroughly enjoyed.

ドキドキの体験に大満足！！
本場ラスベガスのショーとあって楽しみにしてました。
日本のものまねとはレベルが違いますね。
エンターテイメントでした。
娘と二人の春休み旅行の楽しい思い出が1つふえました。
バックステージツアーはウエルカムシャンパンと出演者のかたたちのお出迎えでチョーVIP待遇で楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
エルビスがかっこよかったです。
マイケルもいましたよ。
ガガ様もね！
タネあかしあり、一緒に写真も撮れて楽しかったです。
料理はディナーショーの料理とあって全然期待せずに行ったのが良かったのか結構美味しかったです！！
日本では食べる機会のないロブスターもステーキもデザートもおいしくいただきました。
席は一番前のVIP席。
ショーの途中歌いながら席に来てくれてほっぺにキスのまたまたVIPサービスに、楽しく観れました。
とにかくびっくりするほどのVIP待遇、めったにできない体験で楽しめました。

I had a wonderful time.
Even though we couldn't communicate with words, everyone is here to have fun, so it's all good.
However, there is only one restroom, so it might be better to limit your beer intake.
The Mai Tai was also quite delicious.

とても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。
言葉は通じなくても、みんな楽しむために来ているから大丈夫です。
ただし、トイレは一つしかないので、ビールは控えた方がいいかも。
マイタイも十分美味しかったです。

We didn't get up to Diamond Head as announced as we had to head back to port for a health emergency with one of the crew.
Otherwise food was great and atmosphere fantastic!

This sail was very beautiful and relaxing. We were able to see the sun go down, ride the waves and have cocktails from the open bar. I would recommend this to anyone looking to relax on the ocean and have a drink.

This dinner cruise was truly spectacular. We checked in and seemed to be upgraded from the roast beef dinner to the steak and crab dinner. Love it! We were seated at an intimate table for two on the side of the stage and were able to start eating while the rest of the guests were seated with efficiency. It didn't take long for us to be on our way and dinner was served. The steak was medium rare and delicious and the crab (if not a little cold) was wonderful. Entertainment was superb! We enjoyed the beautiful sunset and even spotted a few whales in the distance and enjoyed the Polynesian entertainment. We were able to stroll all decks and since the 2nd deck was not occupied enjoyed a quiet moment before returning to the dock. Enjoyed every minute.

Everything was pretty good except tables were too close.

We had a wonderful time on the cruise. We met some very nice people, enjoyed the scenery, and even saw some whales. The crew treated us like Kings and kept the drinks flowing. The ship was full, but had plenty of space to mill around and get a good view.

I was a little worried about attending a Luau on top of a parking garage. It turned out to not be a problem. They decorated the venue very nice and we were in the shade the whole time, which really helped. The food was wonderful, with a wide selection for everybody, even the kids. The acts were fantastic! I took a star away for the location not being by the ocean and the tight seating arrangement.

I participated in this tour during my honeymoon in Hawaii. It was a Green Room Monitor Tour, and I got to experience a VIP feeling in the Green Room!

I arrived about 30 minutes late for the tour, so I couldn't see the backstage, but they quickly brought me welcome champagne and guided me to my seat. The champagne was easy to drink and delicious! The lobster and steak were tender, and I enjoyed all the dishes!

In the Green Room tour, drinks are free for one per person, and there is a charge for the second drink, which I felt was a bit pricey at $10 plus tip. I had a seat in the front row, so I could watch the show right in front of me.

The impersonation show featuring Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, and Elvis had quite a few songs I recognized, and I had a great time! The authentic hula show was also impressive and overwhelming! The performers in the hula show were all beautiful.

There were many foreign audience members around me, and their reactions were lively, which added to the fun! I couldn't understand the English talk, so I was completely lost, but I found myself laughing along.

At the end, I was able to take a photo with someone who resembled Michael Jackson (laughs)!

I highly recommend this tour as you can enjoy delicious food and a show all at once!

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

I would love to participate in a similar monitor tour if I go to Hawaii again!

新婚旅行のハワイでこちらのツアーに参加しました(^^)
グリーンルームモニターツアーだったのですが、
グリーンルームでVIPな気分を味わえました！
ツアー開始時間に30分程遅れてしまい、舞台裏の見学はできなかったのですが、すぐにウェルカムシャンパンを持ってきて頂き席に案内されました。シャンパンも飲みやすくて美味しかったです！
料理のロブスター、ステーキも柔らかくて料理全部美味しくいただきました！
グリーンルームのツアーでは飲み物が1人1杯まで無料で二杯目からは料金がかかるシステムになっていて、
1杯10ドル+チップで少しお高いかな？と感じました。
一番前に席が用意してあり、すぐ目の前でショーを見ることができました。
マイケルジャクソン、レディーガガ、プレスリーのものまねショーは知っている曲が結構あり楽しめました！
本場のフラショーも迫力満点で圧倒されました！
フラショーに出ている方が綺麗な人ばっかりです^_^
周りの観客も外国の方が多くリアクションが大きく又それも楽しかった！
英語が分からずトークは何を言ってるのかちんぷんかんぷんでしたがつられて笑ってました輪
最後にマイケルジャクソン似？（笑）の方と写真が撮れました！

美味しい料理とショーも一度に楽しめオススメですよー！

楽しい思い出をありがとうございました！

又ハワイに行ってこのようなモニターツアーがあったら参加したいです！

There really isn't any better way to see the Hawaiian sunset than cruising off Waikiki beach - with only the sound of wind whistling through the sails...great food and good conversations. The crew are very friendly - sharing their sailing experiences and interesting facts about the island and Pacific ocean. The captain is very personable and experienced (having raced large sailboats). He set the sails just right for a comfortable cruise and even allowed some to take a try at the helm. In addition to the great panoramic view of Waikiki and sunset we saw a sea turtle and whales. If we had more time on this trip we would do this sailing cruise again...and most definitely will the next time we're on Oahu.

the food is delicious but choices are limited. There were wonderful view and music & performence

The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly. The sunset was beautiful too! Since only English is spoken, it might be better for those who don't understand to avoid this place. It was cold, and the restroom was dirty... that was disappointing.

景色は最高に綺麗で、ダイアモンドヘッドが綺麗に見えました(*^◯^*)
夕日も、綺麗です！
英語しか通じないので、分からない方は避けた方が良いですね〜
寒かった&トイレが汚くて…残念でした（≧∇≦）

We attended as a couple, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We did the Terrance luau style dining, and it was very good. All the food from the buffet were excellent, and the two hula dancers and a Hawaiian musician created a great atmosphere to enjoy our dinner.

Once the show began, the time flew by. Elvis started the show with some old classic rocks, then Lady Gaga came on. She was hilarious and I thought her piano performance was pretty good. But our favorite was Michael Jackson. Everyone loved him, and boy, he had some moves. He even got the side way moonwalk down to science.

Overall, it was a great night, and I highly recommend this show to anyone!

It was a good fun thing to do as a family. My only complaint was we were to be released by tables for the food but apparently the Japan folks didn't get that and we ended up having to wait a long time. The ship was clean and the staff we nice.

Being on a quiet catamaran sailboat is a unique experience in comparison to a noisy motorboat. The buffet dish I like the most was the BBQ teriyaki chicken. The staff were experienced and friendly, starting off with a comical safety briefing and ending off with a friendly goodbye. The bartender was very knowledgeable about dealing with seasickness and different types of liqueurs. The drink special was a delicious tropical blend that fits perfectly with the environment. It was smooth sailing going out and back in, and we saw multiple whale spoutings in the distance. Listening to the relaxing music with the rhythmic movements of the ocean made a relaxing trip.

After work, I headed straight to Hawaii with three friends. After arriving, we slept for about three hours and then participated in a cruise. Unfortunately, all three of us got severely seasick, and we couldn't enjoy the scenery at all.

Since you will be on the boat for quite a long time, I think it would be better to take your time to adjust your condition before participating, rather than going on the day you arrive. I also got the impression that there were hardly any Japanese people there.

仕事帰りその足で友人3人とハワイ旅行へ向かいました。
到着後３時間ほど寝て、こちらのクルーズに参加しました。
結果は３人とも激しく船酔いしてしまい、景色どころではなく終わってしまいました。

結構長い時間乗り続けることになるので、到着した日よりもゆっくりコンディションを整えてから参加されたほうが楽しめると思います。
日本人の方はほとんどいなかった印象です。

fun time! we even saw Whales ! Even though it was cloudy and we saw no sunset we had such a great time we forgot about it!

The boat was quite rocky and the wind was cold, but the sunset was breathtaking! I really felt like I was in the great outdoors.

To be honest, the sunset was just average, but the dessert was delicious.

After finishing dinner, there was quite a long wait until the fireworks, but we ended on a high note with the fireworks! My 80-year-old mother was also very happy.

船は結構揺れて風も冷たかったですが、夕陽は圧巻でした！
大自然の中にいるなぁという感じです。
夕陽は正直、普通でしたが、デザートは美味しかったです。

夕食を食べ終え、花火まですごく時間が空いてしまうのですが、最後に花火で盛り上がりました！
80歳の母も喜んでくれました。

I had an amazing time! Cruise was fun! I've been to many dinner cruises on the island and the Navatek boat is indeed by far the smoothest ride I've ever been. We went during the Nagaoka Festival in Waikiki and the fireworks display was so outstanding, which made it more enjoyable and memorable for us!

The staff at the Ticket Desk were also very friendly. We got there 45-minutes early and Josh was very kind enough to answer the many questions I had while we were waiting. It wasn't their normal schedule that night and Josh was able to share their regular schedule with me, the transportation and check-in procedures, and wait times from boarding to departure.

As for the servers on the boat, they were okay but they could have been better! I would have preferred them to be more energetic and quicker. Our server that night seemed a little too tired and it also took us a while to get the drinks we ordered. Very good food though! The teriyaki garlic chicken was my favorite..yummmm!!!!

The Polynesian entertainment was good but I wish it was longer. They only performed three (3) different dances and that was it. The host and singer was also good, I like that she interact with the audience while singing but I wish she could have sang songs that are more familiar to the audience. I thought the songs were too old to be sung these days.

Something that I never expected though is the dancing at the end of the cruise! We danced the night away and that was so much fun! I loved it! I'm glad I took this trip as I didn't know this is also available at Navatek. I've always thought this to be more intimate, for couples celebrating their anniversaries or honeymooners who want a quiet and romantic moment but this can be for families or group of friends as well.

Thank you Navatek for allowing me and my family to enjoy your cruise!
