All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

Beautiful way to spend the sunset. A warning to other ladies: no bathroom + strong, unlimited drinks, so plan accordingly.

The variety of food was limited for the price. Since it gets cold at night, I think it would be nice to have warm dishes as well. The show lacked excitement, and some people left midway.

値段のわりに食事の種類が少なかった。夜は寒いので温かい料理もあれば良いと思う、ショーも盛り上がりにかける。途中で帰る人もいた、

I attended on December 31, 2012.

I waited in line for over 30 minutes to get in... At the very back, on the edge, it got quite cold when the sun went down, and even with a jacket, I was pretty chilly. It was raining, and I got quite wet... The food was also not great...

At this price, I think it would be better to go to a regular restaurant somewhere.

There were tables where we had to wait a long time for service, which was unfortunate.

The venue was just an outdoor area separated by ropes, and you could see it just by passing by...

It felt a bit overpriced.

I saw a similar show in Guam, and that one was of higher quality.

2012年の12/31に参加しました。

入るまでに30分以上並び…
一番後ろの一番端で、日が暮れると上着があってもかなり寒く、雨が降って結構濡れて…お食事もイマイチな感じです…。


このお値段なら、どこか普通のレストランの方がいいかなぁ。

バイキングも、ずっと待たされているテーブルもあって、
かわいそうでした。

会場はロープで仕切られているだけの屋外で、普通に通りすがれば見れるし…。

ちょっと割高かな。

グアムでも同じようなショーを見ましたが、
そちらの方がハイクオリティでした。

This time in Hawaii, we stayed at the Hilton and requested to see a show at our accommodation. All the seats facing the stage were premium seats, but since the stage was elevated, it was easy for our family, who had regular seats, to see well.

However, the seating was at a table for ten, so it was a bit cramped with our neighbors, so it's better to enter early. Since we checked in after 5 PM, we were able to choose our preferred table and ended up sitting at the closest regular seat to the stage, which was comfortable.

The show featured hula and fire dancing, which we enjoyed. Although I felt it lacked a bit of intensity at times.

What was disappointing was that our table staff tried to clear plates and glasses right away, which interrupted our viewing. They took away glasses that still had drinks in them and even asked if they could take away plates with food still on them... We were just pausing our eating to watch the show. I wished they would have let us focus on the performance.

今回のハワイはヒルトンでの滞在だったので、宿泊先でショーが見たいと申し込みました。ステージに面している席はすべてプレミアシートでしたが、ステージは高くなっていたので、通常席の私たち家族でも見えやすかったです。

ただ、席は10人掛けテーブルで相席（そして隣との距離はかなり狭い）になるので、早く入場した方がいいです。私たちは17時過ぎに受付をしたため、好きなテーブルが選べた上に通常席の中ではステージに一番近い席に座れたので快適でした。

ショーはフラとファイアーダンスで楽しめました。若干迫力に欠ける気もしないではなかったですが。

残念だったのは、私たちのテーブル係だったスタッフが、お皿やグラスをすぐに片付けようとして、鑑賞の邪魔になったことです。まだ残っているグラスを下げられましたし、お皿に食べ物が乗っているのに「もう下げてもいいか」と聞かれたり・・・ショーを見ているから、食べるのを中断していただけなんですけど。。鑑賞に集中させてほしかったです。

The entire experience was beyond our expectations.
The staff were very friendly.
The food superb.
The show extremely entertaining.
The performers were first class and very realistic.
Overall our experience was well beyond what we expected in every way.
Highly recommend it to all age groups.
Can't wait to go back next year.
Thank you to all for a fantastic evening.

My parents wanted to see it, so I made a reservation for the first time. The show itself was really great! Especially the impersonator of Michael Jackson was the best, and I want to see it again. I added a buffet dinner, but eating in a tent while it was raining and being close to the people next to us wasn't very pleasant. I think it might have been better to go for a proper course meal tour or a cocktail show. I definitely want to see it again!

両親が見てみたいと言うので、初めて予約しました。
ショー自体はとてもよかった♡
特にマイケルジャクソンのものまねの方は最高で、また見に行きたいと思います。
ビュッフェの夕食をつけたのですが、雨の降る中でのテントでの食事で、隣の人とも密着していたので、あまりよくなかったです。
ちゃんとしたコース料理のツアーにするか、カクテルショーでよかったかな？と思います。
また見に行きたいです！

This cruise was def. something worth seeing! It gets a little chilly out on the ocean; should bring a jacket, but it def. was amazing and beautiful! I totally recommend it to anyone!

The local staff were very attentive, and I was able to have a really enjoyable time.

現地スタッフの対応も卒がなく、とても楽しいひと時を過ごすことができました。

I participated on December 25th. I had been curious about this event every time I visited Hawaii, so I decided to join this time. First, we had a buffet meal at the special venue set up on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. The staff was very pleasant. The food was decent, but there weren't many options. During the meal, we enjoyed music and hula. After the meal, we went to the show venue. We were seated in the front row of the second floor, watching the dining scene on the first floor for a while. The impersonators of the stars were somewhat debatable in terms of resemblance, but they seemed to be genuinely trying to entertain us, making it enjoyable as a show. The Elvis impersonator came around shaking hands while singing in front of the front row on the second floor, creating a "wow" atmosphere. I don't think it's suitable for children, but I believe those who know Elvis and Michael Jackson will enjoy it.

　12月25日に参加しました。これまでハワイに行くたびに気になっていたので今回参加してみました。初めにロイヤルハワイアンＳＣ４階に設けられた特設会場でビュッフェの食事。スタッフはとても感じがよかったです。食事はまあまあ、品数は多くありません。食事の間、音楽とフラが楽しめます。食事の後ショーの会場へ。私たちは２階席の最前列。しばらく１階席の食事の様子を眺めていることになります。スターのそっくりさんは、似ているかというと微妙な感じなのですが、なんか一生懸命に楽しませてくれている感じでショーとして楽しめました。プレスリーのそっくりさんが、２階の最前列の前を歌いながら握手して回ってくれ、やっぱり「キャー」という雰囲気になりました。お子さんには向いているとは思いませんが、プレスリーやマイケルジャクソンを知る世代は楽しめると思います。

Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, I was wondering how it would turn out, but we were able to have a great time with cheerful music and at a speed that didn't make us dizzy. We could see Diamond Head very closely, and the night view of the buildings was also very beautiful. I'm very satisfied!

あいにくの曇り空となりどうかなと思っていたけれど陽気な音楽と酔わない程度のスピードで楽しく盛り上がることができました。ダイヤモンドヘッドがとても近くから見ることができ、ビルの夜景もとても綺麗でした。大満足です！

I had booked the submarine early, so after much deliberation, I signed up for the sunset cruise two days before departure... and it was a great decision! The staff were excellent at getting everyone excited, and the atmosphere, filled with English and Spanish speakers, was enjoyable since there were few Japanese people.

I didn't drink much, but the young foreigners in the group were drinking a lot and having a great time, which made me excited just watching them.

The view from the yacht was amazing, and the high-speed cruise had me thrilled regardless of my age (laughs). My husband was also very satisfied with the different colors of the sea compared to the beach and Diamond Head. I would love to join again when I go with friends.

サブマリンを早々と予約していたのでサンセットクルーズを悩んだ末、出発2日前に申し込みました。。。大正解！
スタッフの盛り上げ方が上手で日本人が少なく、英語やスペイン語があふれる雰囲気も楽しかったです。
私はあまり飲まなかったけれど、グループ参加の外国の若い方たちは大いに飲み盛り上がり、見ているだけでこちらまでわくわくしました。

ヨットからの眺めは最高で　スピードを上げてのクルーズは自分の年を省みず大興奮（笑）
夫もビーチからとは違う海の色やダイヤモンドヘッドに大満足でした。
友人と行くときにもまた参加したいです

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

Very smooth ride, we had a blast! Would do it again

I wanted to enjoy activities at the beach and have fun drinking!

I decided to participate because it seemed like they could accommodate those requests. I heard from other comments that there were hardly any Japanese people, but during my time, there were about three other groups.

I don't understand the language at all, but the atmosphere is nice.

It feels like only the Japanese are enjoying the all-you-can-drink option. The other foreigners were taking orders.

But even though it was a short time, it was quite fulfilling.

- The view of Diamond Head in the daylight
- The sight of numerous yachts floating on the sea
- The view of Honolulu from the ocean
- A wonderful sunset
- Diamond Head glowing in the sunset light

Additionally, it was quite windy on the yacht, so I brought something to wear. Just when I started to feel a bit tipsy, my friend's shirt flew away!!

It got blown away by the wind and disappeared into the sea...

Oh no (laughs).

Well, since we had some drinks, we laughed about it, and it became a fun memory.

Everyone, please be careful not to lose anything in the sea!

海でのアクティビティも楽しみたいし
お酒も楽しく飲みたい！

そんな要望を答えてくれそうだったから
参加しました。
他の人のコメントでは、日本人がほとんどいないと
聞いていたけど、私の時は、他に３組ほどいました。

言葉は全然分からないけど、雰囲気は良いです。

日本人だけ飲み放題な感じです。
他の外国人の人たちは、注文とってたし。



でも短時間なのに、かなり充実していました。

？明るいうちのダイヤモンドヘッド
？海に浮く数々のヨットの景色
？海から見るホノルルの景色
？ステキな夕日
？夕日に照らされて燃えるようなダイヤモンドヘッド


その他に、
ヨットの上は風が強いから羽織るものを持っていきました。
そしたら酔いもほろほろになってきたころ
友達のシャツが！！

風に飛ばされて海の彼方に消えていきました・・・

あ～あ（笑）

まっ、お酒も入っているから
笑っちゃって、楽しい思い出になっています。


皆さんも海に落し物が無いよう
気をつけてください。

I signed up for the luau. At first, I made a reservation without a meal, but I reconsidered and it turned out to be a great decision. The buffet was plentiful and delicious, but the welcome drink seemed to be a Blue Hawaii style with zero alcohol. During the meal, a young couple played the ukulele and performed hula, and I felt their sincerity and dedication. They were not overly pushy, which was very refreshing.

As for the impersonation show members, there were two Elvis impersonators (one for the first half and one for the second half), as well as Lady Gaga, Elton John, and Michael Jackson. I was impressed by how well they researched and practiced their performances, showing a strong professional spirit and dedication to their work.

At the end of the show, we were able to take commemorative photos together and get autographs. Some people missed out on getting autographs, but a manager-like person in a black suit and glasses quickly went to the dressing room and brought back autographs for everyone, which made me very happy. I didn’t catch their name, but I am grateful. It was so much fun!

　ルアウつきで申し込みました。最初、食事なしで予約し、考え直して当たりでした。BUFFET式で、種類も多く、おいしかったですが、ウエルカムドリンクが、ブルーハワイ風でアルコール分はゼロだったような．．．　食事中、ウクレレで曲をかなで、フラを披露してくれた、若いふたりが一生懸命で、誠実さを感じました。客ずれしてなくてとても好感を持てました。　ものまねショーのメンバーでは、プレスリー（二人いて、前半、後半）、ガガ、エルトン・ジョン、マイケル・ジャクソン、全員よく本人達を研究し、練習を重ねプロ意識を持ち仕事してるな、頑張ってるな、と感心しました。　ショー終了時、記念写真を一緒にとれましたし、サインももらえ、もらいそこねた人もいたのですが、黒いスーツで、眼鏡をかけた、マネージャーらしき人が機転をきかせて楽屋まで行き、貰ってきてくれ、全員分のサインがそろい、とても嬉しかったです。名まえはわかりませんでしたが、感謝してます。　すごく楽しかったです！

The day I participated was mostly cloudy, and unfortunately, the sunset was hidden behind the clouds. However, I was deeply moved when the sun briefly showed its face.

I also went on a snorkeling tour during the daytime cruise, but the night view of Waikiki was so beautiful that I recommend the sunset cruise if you have to choose one.

I had trouble finding the restroom, but if you ask the staff, they will guide you. There is a lever at the entrance to flush the toilet. It was cleaner than I expected.

I think it's the best activity you can easily join from Waikiki!

参加した日は一日曇りがちでしたが、サンセットも残念ながら太陽がかくれていました。なので一瞬顔を見せた夕日に感動ひとしおでした。

昼間のクルージングもシュノーケリングツアーで乗りましたが、ワイキキの夜景がとてもきれいだったので、どちらか乗るならサンセットがおすすめです。

トイレがわからなくて困りましたが、スタッフに声をかければ案内してくれます。水を流すのは入口のところにレバーがあります。思ったより清潔でした。

ワイキキから気軽に参加できる最高のアクティビティだと思います！

had a great time on the cruise. food was great. the view was awsome. the staff was great. loved the entertainment. you are treated very well.

I had seen a hula dance show in Guam before. I wondered if it would be similar, but since I was in Hawaii, I decided to watch it there as well. Even though the type of dance was the same, it was truly amazing no matter how many times I saw it!!! I got to see a lot of different types of dances, and the fire dance was absolutely captivating!!! It was so incredible that I still can't forget it and I want to see it again☆ The women were beautiful, and the men were strong♪ It was a lot of fun!!!

以前グアムでもフラダンスショーは見たことがありました。
似た感じなのかなぁと思いましたが、せっかくなのでハワイ
でも見る事に♪
ダンスの種類は同じでもやっぱり何度見てもすばらしい!!!
いろんな種類のダンスがいっぱい見れたし、何と言っても
ファイヤーダンスがくぎ付け!!!
すごくて今でも忘れられないしまた見たいって思いました☆
女性は綺麗だったし男性はたくましかったし♪
とても楽しかったです!!!

Ship was clean, sailing was fun. The food was not especailly great (except the cream puffs--defrosted frozen, love them!), and I was surprised that the alcohol was not good quality and the beer was limited to two types. We just sailed back and forth for about 1 1/2 hours off the coast of Waikiki, saw fireworks that lasted about 10 mins, and couldn't see them well unless you were on the front of the boat (and not everyone could fit up there. The crew were polite but not very interactive. Wouldn't do it again.

I participated in a company trip with my colleagues. We also attended a cruising show, but unlike the audience participation shows, this one had a much more relaxed pace, and there were moments when I felt a bit sleepy just watching. Since we had premium seats, we were the first to eat, but the food was quite bland, so I didn't enjoy it much. I was left with the impression that the fruit was the most delicious part, which was disappointing. The climax of the fire dance was very impressive, but considering the food and the price, I can't say I was completely satisfied.

会社の旅行で同僚達と参加しました。
クルージングのショーにも参加しましたが客席参加のものとは異なり、かなりゆったりした進行で、ほとんどがショーを見だけで若干眠くなる場面もありました。
プレミアムシートだったので、食事は一番乗りで食べられたのですが、内容が大味すぎて今ひとつ食はすすみませんでした。フルーツが一番美味しかったような印象なのが残念に感じました。
クライマックスのファイアーダンスは見応え満点でしたが、食事、値段なども合わせると大満足とはいきませんでした。

It was a trip with three middle-aged men. Last time, we spent our time playing golf on a trip that was postponed for a year due to 9/11. This time, one of the companions, who is from a certain prestigious yacht club, expressed a desire to go sailing, so I searched online.

Fortunately, we managed to book the fireworks for Friday. We parked the rental car in the parking area and arrived at the yacht harbor in just three minutes on foot. While looking for the ticket booth, I found two Hawaiian girls at the far end inside the booth. When I asked them in my broken English, it turned out to be a lucky coincidence. I wish they had provided a bit more information in the instructions.

Before departure, I took a picture of the sunset. Other participants included only us Japanese and a newlywed couple. The rest were about twenty Americans. The explanations were in English and were quite brief.

We set sail and navigated around Waikiki and Kahala. The view from the sea was breathtaking. I had an unpleasant memory of being swept away while windsurfing off Kahala when I was younger. We spent time until the fireworks with beer and light snacks, which were quite nice. I was surprised by the strength of the Hawaiian girl crew when they raised the sails.

We went back and forth in the bay until the fireworks, and everyone was in a state of "Are the fireworks really going to happen?" Gradually, as they lowered the sails and we were just floating around, the fireworks went off with a bang. I expected Japanese fireworks, but the fireworks off the coast of Hawaii were quite impressive as well. The older Americans danced to the music.

It lasted about ten minutes. I highly recommend it. As stated, a windbreaker is essential. We, the middle-aged men, were satisfied and headed back home.

A wonderful experience from start to finish.

From the moment you board, as a couple, family, or with friends, you truly
relax and unwind with fantastic crew, hospitality and the most amazing scenery you could possible wish for.

Certainly a must to do do whilst in Waikiki.

We bought tickets from the site in Australia and thought we were getting a "Sunset/fireworks cruise" however when we got there we were on a moonlight cruise. (Which is the one we wanted. I think your site needs to clarify the differnece in the two tours a bit better. The sunset cruise went out at 5.00 and the one we were on was 6.30. Having said that we were placed on the right one as we wanted to see the fireworks which were fantasic.
The staff were amazing and we had a very memorable time. I would highly recommend this activity to all but just get clarification as to what cruise you actually want to be on.
D&D, Melbourne Australia. October 2012

Since I attended alone, I chose the cocktail and show-only course. Everything was in English, but even as someone who doesn't usually listen to Western music, I recognized most of the songs, and rather than just impersonations, the entertainers were fantastic, so I enjoyed it until the end.

However, the more expensive course has seats on the first floor (I was on the second floor), where the stars come closer, and it feels like you're participating in the show. I thought I would like to choose that course next time.

Still, even with the cocktail-only course, I was able to take photos with the performers after the show.

一人での参加だったのでカクテル＆ショーのみのコースにしました。
全て英語でしたが、普段洋楽を聴かない私でも知っている曲ばかりだったし、モノマネと言うよりエンターティナーとして素晴らしかったので最後まで楽しめました。

でも高いコースの方が1階席で(私は2階でした)スターも近くに来てくれるし、ショーに参加してるような気分になれそう。
次回はそちらのコースにしたいと思いました。

でも、カクテルのみのコースでも終了後に出演者と一緒に写真を撮れました。

It was a long wait from when we entered until the show started, and since we went on the day of our arrival, I ended up feeling sleepy towards the end of the show. We had to go up in turns to get the food, but our seats were towards the back, so we had to wait quite a bit and had nothing to do in the meantime. It was a bit disappointing. However, we made some good memories.

入ってから、ショーが始まるまでが長く、到着日に行ったので、ショーの終わりの方は睡くなって、しまいました。
料理も順番に取りに行くのですが、私たちの席は最後の方だったので、かなり待たされ、ずっとする事もなくダラダラでした。
少し残念。
でもいい思い出ができました。

I attended on October 30th, and the weather was great that day, making me feel very rich.

I definitely want to participate again next time.

It's perfect for couples!

10月30日に参加しましたが、当日は天気も良くとってもリッチな気分になれました。

ぜひ、次回も参加したいと思います。

ｶｯﾌﾟﾙには最高～

Amazing sunset and smooth ride! Loved the net seat!

I felt the pleasant Hawaiian breeze, and the cruise was very enjoyable. On this day, the ship hardly swayed, making for a comfortable cruise. The cocktails served were also delicious. While listening to upbeat music, I was able to see a very beautiful sunset, which was the best part.

As for precautions, I think it was important to stay inside the red lines of the hammock once we were out at sea and to avoid sitting in the areas painted blue. I felt the cheerful spirit of the Americans. Bringing snacks along is also fun.

心地の良いハワイの風を感じながら、クルーズは、とっても気持ちよかったです。
この日は、船はほとんど揺れず快適なクルーズでした。出された、カクテルも美味しかったです。
乗りの良い音楽を聴きながら、とても美しい夕日をみることができて、最高でした。
注意事項は、恐らく沖に出たらハンモックの赤いラインの内側にいること、ブルーに塗ってある場所に座らないことだったと思います。
アメリカ人の方が底抜けの陽気さを感じました。
お菓子なんかを持って行くのも楽しいです。

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience

If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.

Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you

Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

This Catamaran outting was definitely worth the price for anyone. My wife and I enjoyed the staff courtesy during the whole trip. They provide all you can drink choices which was great during the beautiful sunset ride. They played nice music from beginning to end which was relaxing. The Sunset is beautiful from out in the water coasting along. I would definitely go on this ride again when visiting here.
