All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

The artists were great and they allowed even the standard ticket people to take pictures with them after the show.

I participated in the buffet dinner and show plan with my mother! Since this was not my first time in Hawaii, I thought the usual hula show would be boring, so we joined this tour! The dinner was on the 4th floor of the Hawaiian Center (outdoors) and had a homey feel! All the explanations were in English (including the show). If you're tired of the usual hula shows, it might be worth participating in this one! The show is also interesting!

いつものフラショーに飽きた方は参加してみていいかもしれませんよ！
ショーも面白いです！

I made a reservation for about 10 people from Japan at the recommendation of a friend. I was a bit anxious about finding the boarding area, but once we got to Waikiki Beach, it was easy to locate, and we set sail about 30 minutes after gathering! Since it was a yacht, it felt amazing, and everyone was very satisfied! The captain and crew were friendly and cool, which really boosted our spirits (laughs). I highly recommend it for anyone who isn't particularly sensitive to motion; it's truly affordable and enjoyable!

友人から すすめられ、日本から10人ほどで予約しました。乗り場がわかるか？不安もありました ワイキキビーチに行けばすぐわかり、集合から30分ほどで、出港！！ヨットなので めちゃくちゃ 気持ちが良く皆んな大満足！！
キャプテンとクルーもフレンドリーで、かっこ良く、テンション上がりました（笑）
乗り物にとても弱い方、以外ならどなたも 本当に、安くて楽しめ、おすすめです！！

Participated in the sunset cocktail sail off Waikiki Beach. Was so plesantly surprised. Enjoyed it immensly. Saw whales as a bonus, the Captain and crew were excellent and helpful with local information. Cocktails great, would highly recommend anyone to go and experience thesail off the beach at Waikiki. Thank you Veltra and Waikiki Rigger Catamaran sail.

The reception was a bit delayed, but the sunset and the night view of Honolulu from the ocean were both wonderful. There was also a variety of drinks available for unlimited consumption. It was the best night with great scenery, drinks, and staff.

受付が少し遅れましたが、サンセットも、そして、海から見るホノルルの夜景も素晴らしいものでした。お酒も、いろいろ飲み放題。景色も、ドリンクも、スタッフも最高の夜でした。

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.

I've visited Hawaii many times, so I wanted to do something different this time! I participated in this activity, and the cruising with relaxing Hawaiian music was fantastic! There were few Japanese people, which made me feel like I was really abroad. ^^ It gets chilly when the wind blows, so be sure to bring something to wear!

ハワイは何度も訪れているのでいつもと違う事がしたい！と思いこのアクティビティに参加しました。ゆったりとしたハワイアンミュージックが流れる中のクルージングは最高です！日本人が少なく、海外に来た気分を味わえます＾＾風が出ると寒いので必ず羽織れる物を持参しましょう！！

Would have liked more free alcohol drinks for the price we paid. At least 3 drinks or lower prices since we already paid so much for the sail.

This luau was very entertaining and food was delicious. It was very convenient being right at our hotel. The only thing I wish was that we could have tasted the alcohol in the Mai tai.

I took my mother in her late 60s and my middle school daughter. It was meant to please my mother, who is a fan of Presley, but both my mother and my daughter enjoyed it. We were satisfied with the authentic stage and the bright, friendly staff. I definitely want to take my mother again next time.

60代後半の母と、中学生の娘を連れて行きました。
プレスリー好きの母を喜ばせるためのものでしたが、
母はもちろん、中学生の娘も楽しめました。
本格的なステージと明るく親切なスタッフに満足しました。
また次回母を連れてぜひ行ってみようと思いました。

It was fun. We will do it again. It was a great way to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

Fantastic Cruise. Too bad there were no fireworks on this friday night. Otherwise, everything was brilliant!

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.

A project that allows you to experience a nearby showtime in the heart of Waikiki instantly. While it lacks excitement in terms of singing and dancing, its convenience is commendable. I felt dissatisfied with the dinner options. I would recommend choosing just the show.

ワイキキ中心部での身近なショウタイムを即座に経験出来る企画、内容的には、歌とダンスで面白さと言う点では乏しさも感じるものの、手軽さは評価出来る。ディナーの内容には不満を覚える。ショーのみを選択することもお勧めしたい。

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.

It was a small boat, so I was a bit worried I might get seasick, but it was fine. Since there were a lot of us on board, we ended up having a great time and making a lot of noise. The night view was beautiful, and it became a wonderful memory!

小さな船だったので、酔ってしまうかも？って不安でしたが、大丈夫でした。
大人数で乗ったのでワイワイ騒いでしまいましたσ(^_^;)
夜景も綺麗で、とても良い記念になりました！

My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves the food was good but the entertainment was surprisingly good and the staff preformed their duties perfectly .

Great crew. Great boat. Sunset and fireworks were awesome. Great bartender :) would definitely recommend.

We decided to see a hula and fire dance show during our first trip to Hawaii as a three-generation family. We researched online and read many reviews to choose which show to attend.

Honestly, regarding the food, it's better not to have high expectations, as others have mentioned; a buffet style usually offers this kind of experience. However, we were very satisfied with the show in terms of content and duration; it was truly a professional performance. The hula danced by the woman in the center and the fire dance by the men exceeded our expectations.

In the city and restaurants in Hawaii, it seemed that nearly 70% of the visitors were Japanese, but I think it was about 20% here. There were a few staff members who spoke Japanese, but since the only conversation needed was for drink orders, there was hardly any need to worry about communication.

３世代家族、初めてのハワイ旅行ということでフラ・ファイヤーダンスを見ることにしました。
インターネットで調べてどこのショーを見るか、書き込みなどを沢山見て決めました。
正直、食事については他の書き込み通りであまり期待をしないほうが良いですが、ビュッフェスタイルだとこんなものだと思います。
ショーについては内容・時間ともに非常に満足できるもので、まさにプロフェッショナルのショーでした。
女性のセンターで踊る方のフラと、男性のファイヤーダンスは期待以上のレベルです。
ハワイの市街地やレストランなどでは７割近くが日本人という割合でしたが、ここでは２割位だったと思います。　日本語の出来るスタッフも何人かいましたが、会話が必要なのはドリンクオーダーくらいなので、会話の不安は殆ど不要です。

I didn't have much time, and since we had a mix of older adults and children, I chose this option. I tried almost all the dishes, and they were all quite delicious. Considering the dance performances, I felt it was a good choice. (My young son started to look a bit bored during the show, but his eyes lit up during the final fire dance. He was amazed and watched intently.)

We drove there, and the parking was located in a building on the right side shortly after entering the premises. I realized that building was the Mid-Pacific Conference Center, and after getting out of the car, I took the nearby elevator straight up to the venue, which was very easy. (When I handed the parking ticket to a person in a light green aloha uniform inside the venue, they processed it through a machine and stamped it for free.)

For the tattoo experience (they were using regular markers), the kids each got hibiscus and honu designs, and my husband got a whale. They all turned out well and really lifted our spirits. If you're interested, I recommend lining up early since it's popular.

We were a group of six, and although there were still empty tables next to the stage, we were seated next to a couple who were already there (behind them). It was a bit disappointing not to be right up against the stage, but I suppose the empty tables were reserved for larger groups, so it couldn't be helped (one table was for ten people, and we ended up sitting with eight—my group of six and the couple).

I was happy to wear the fresh flower lei the whole time, but other members kept asking, "Can I take it off?" and "It's cold," and ended up removing theirs, which felt a bit wasteful (laughs). However, despite using time elsewhere right up until the show started, we were able to enjoy the performance very close to the stage, so I don't regret choosing the premium seats.

Each person received two free drink tickets, but the selection of free drinks was limited (only alcoholic Mai Tai or soft drinks like tropical fruit juice), and since the kids didn't like the juice, everyone ended up not using their tickets and left them unused (there was delicious free water on the table, which we enjoyed). I wish there had been a few more options.

I brought sunglasses as it was suggested, but I didn't need them (in mid-October). As time went on, it got a bit chilly, so I think having a light jacket would be good.

After the show, we exited the venue and were able to take pictures with the dancers in the hallway, which lifted our spirits again (were we being a bit starstruck?). We left feeling great.

時間に余裕があまりなくて年配から子供までの構成だったのでこちらを選びました。
お料理も殆ど全種類取りましたが全て普通に美味しく、ダンス等の内容からも選んで良かったと思います。（小学校低学年の男の子はショーの途中、段々とつまらなさそうにし始めましたが、最後のファイアーダンスで目がパッチリ。すごーい！と、食い入るように見ていました。）

レンタカーで行き、敷地に入って割とすぐ右手にある建物がパーキングだったので入庫、その建物がミッド・パシフィック・コンファレンス・センターだという事に気づき、車を降りてすぐ近くのエレベーターに乗ってそのまま上階へ、とても簡単に会場入りできました。（駐車券は、会場内の薄いグリーンのアロハ制服の人に渡すと、機械にとおして無料のスタンプを押してくれました）

タトゥー体験(普通の油性ペンで描いてましたが）は、子供がそれぞれハイビスカスとホヌ、夫がクジラを書いてもらい、いずれも上手で気分が盛り上がりました。やりたい方は、人気なので早めに並ぶと良いと思います。

席は、当方6名で、まだ舞台脇に空きテーブル席があったのですが、既に着席していた白人のご夫婦の隣(後ろ）に案内され、舞台かぶりつきではなく少々残念でしたが、空テーブルはもっと大人数のグループ用にあけていたのでしょう、仕方なかったかな（1テーブル10名用で、私たちのテーブルは結局8名(白人ご夫婦と当方6名）で座りました）
生花のレイは、私は嬉しくずっとつけていましたが、他のメンバーは「とっていい？」「冷たい」と次々に外してしまい、ちょっともったいない感が(笑)
でも、開演の割とギリギリまで他で時間を使ったにもかかわらず舞台のすぐ近くでショーを楽しめたので、プレミアムシートに後悔はしていません。

飲み物は一人2枚のフリードリンク券がついていましたが、フリーの飲み物の種類が少なく(アルコール・マイタイか、ソフトドリンク・トロピカルフルーツ味ジュースの2種類）子供の好みのジュースではなかった事もあって全員おかわりせず券を余らせ（テーブルに無料の美味しいお水があり、それを頂きました）種類がもう少しあったらなと思いました。

持って行った方が良い物にサングラスと書いてあったので持っていきましたが、必要なかったです(10月中旬）時間が経つと少し肌寒くなってきたので、薄い上着があると良いと思いました。

ショー終了後、会場を出て廊下で踊り手さんと写真が撮れて、また気分が盛り上がり(ミーハー？）気持ち良く帰途につきました。

Enjoying a Mai Tai while on a sunset cruise was something I was really looking forward to, but it was so cold that I couldn't bring myself to drink the Mai Tai. I was wearing a proper jacket, but the wind was strong and the waves were rough, and I found myself thinking about how I just wanted it to end before I got seasick. It was very disappointing. The boat was full, mostly with foreigners who were having a great time, so I felt sad that I couldn't join in the fun (^_^;) The sunset was mostly hidden by clouds, so it wasn't as beautiful as I had hoped, but I was glad to experience it at least once. However, if I have the chance again, I will choose a daytime cruise.

マイタイ飲みながらサンセットクルーズ。楽しみに参加したのですが
とても寒くてマイタイを飲む気になれませんでした。上着はちゃんと着ていたのですが
風が強くて波も荒れていて船酔い寸前で早く終わることばかり考えてしまい
非常に残念でした。船内は満席でほとんどが外国人でのりのりで盛り上がっていたので
一緒に楽しめず悲しかったです(^_^;)
サンセットもちょうど雲に隠れてしまい、すごく綺麗とまではいきませんでしたが
一度は体験してみたかったのでよかったです。ただ、次回があるとすれば
昼間のクルージングにします。

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。

Whenever I go to Waikiki, I ride on a catamaran. This time, my father, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, also rode on the catamaran. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset, cocktails in hand, and had fun communicating with the foreigners who were on board with us. It seems that this catamaran experience was the most enjoyable part of our trip to Hawaii. I want to ride it again next time.

いつもワイキキにいく時には、カタマランに乗っています。
今回は初ハワイの父もカタマランに乗り、きれいな夕日とともに、カクテル片手に、一緒に乗った外人の方と、カタコトコミュニケーションも楽しんでいました。
ハワイ旅行の中で、このカタマランが一番楽しかった様です。
次回も乗りたいです。

This was my second trip to Hawaii, but since my last visit focused on marine sports and shopping, I wanted to do some sightseeing this time! I wanted to experience Hawaiian culture, so I participated in an event that was within walking distance from our hotel.

The show was very enjoyable, and the host, who was from Hawaii, had great energy and really got everyone excited. The singing was excellent! There were many Japanese tourists, but there were also a lot of foreigners, which made it very interesting. I was so captivated that the time flew by, and before I knew it, it was over! The fire dance was very impressive and worth watching! I think this is something unique that you can't see in Japan.

If I could wish for something, I would like the main showtime to be longer. Also, the buffet ended after just one round, so I would have been very satisfied if it had been a style where you could go back for more. I didn't even get to the dessert...

ハワイ旅行は２度目でしたが、前回はマリンスポーツ＆ショッピングが主でしたので今回は観光をしよう！ということで、ハワイの文化に触れたいと思い、私たちの宿泊ﾎﾃﾙからも徒歩圏内でしたので参加しました。
ショーはとても楽しく、進行の方もハワイの方なのでノリも良くとても盛り上がっていました。歌もとっても上手☆日本人の観光客は多いですが、外国の方も多く見ていてとってもおもしろいです。見入ってしまうのであっと言う間に終りが来てしまいました！フ　ァイヤーダンス、とっても迫力あって見甲斐があります！これは日本では見れない外国ならではだと思います。

少し欲を言えば、メインのショータイムの時間がもっと増えたらなと思います。
また、ビュッフェも一回りしたらおしまいでしたので、何度も取りにいけるスタイルだと大満足です。デザートまでたどり着けませんでした。。。

I had a very pleasant time! My niece and sister-in-law, who I brought along without understanding the content, were also very impressed! We saw a turtle right by the beach before boarding the boat, and once we set sail, we could see that turtle swimming a little offshore. The sunset was incredibly beautiful... I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first cruise in Waikiki, and I was more moved than I expected. However, it was disappointing that after watching the sunset, we returned relatively early, even though it was supposed to include seeing the sparkling night view of Waikiki. We had too much time afterwards and ended up skipping the plan to watch the Hilton fireworks on the beach.

とても気持ちのいい時間を持てました！内容がわからずに連れて行った姪と義妹も大感激！船に乗船する手前のビーチですぐそばに亀に会って、出航したらその亀？が少し沖で泳いでるのが見れたし、サンセットは最高にキレイだったし・・・何回もハワイには行っていますが、初めてのワイキキでのクルーズだったし思った以上に感動しました。ただ、内容はサンセット見た後、ワイキキの光輝く夜の風景を見て帰ると書いてあったのに、わりと早く帰ったので、その後ビーチでヒルトンの花火を見る予定が時間がありすぎて止めたのが残念でした。

I had been on daytime yacht trips before, but this was my first time on a night yacht. The sunset was beautiful. Unlike the daytime yacht, the ride was calm. There were no splashes of water.

今まで昼のヨットは乗っていましたが、始めて夜のヨットに乗りました。
サンセットはきれいでした。
昼のヨットと違いおとなしい走行でした。
水しぶきもかかりません。

The overwhelming intensity and loudness that approached my face were amazing; it was an event that passed in the blink of an eye. I was reminded of Elvis's greatness.

顔面に迫るど迫力と大音響のすばらしさ、あっと言う間の出来事でした。エルビスのすばらしさを再認識致しました。

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!

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

We took the dinner cruise on our first night's stay here in Hawaii! It was the best start to our vacation that we could have had! The food was fabulous and the entertainment was superb! We would highly recommend this dinner cruise to kick off anyone's vacation here in the islands!!
