All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

I had the most happy time. The staff and passengers laughed together, creating a lively and good atmosphere. We cut through the wind at an unexpectedly fast speed, soaking in the splashes of the waves, which added just the right amount of thrill. Above all, the sunset viewed from the sea was unforgettable; it felt like I was a movie hero (or heroine) with the orange road leading to the sunset from the yacht.

最高にhappyな時間を過ごしました。スタッフと乗客が同じツボで大笑いし、開放感で盛り上がり、goodな雰囲気。思いのほか早いスピードで風を切り、波しぶきを全身に浴びて程よいスリル感も二重丸。何よりも海上から見たサンセットは忘れられない、ヨットから夕日に続くオレンジロードムードたっぷりで映画のヒーロー(ヒロイン)になった気分でした。

It was definitely a good value. I went with my dad and my sister. My dad said among all activities we went to in Honolulu including Luau and circle island tour, this is cheapeast and most fun. So I would definitely recommend to whoever comes to honolulu for first time.

I participated in the luau show because I wanted to show it to my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. Since we had a small child with us, I chose standard seating, thinking it might be troublesome if the child started to make noise. However, it turned out to be fine since we were seated directly in front. The only downside was that we had to wait a little to get our food after the Golden Circle guests.

The food was good, especially the sushi rolls and roast beef, but the rest was just average. It was fun to see various dances, and the fire dance was particularly impressive. Instead of making noise, the child was actually keeping rhythm with the music.

It was great that we could take commemorative photos with the dancers after the show.

初ハワイの母にルアウショーを見せたくて参加しました。
席は小さい子供がいるので騒ぎ出して迷惑になったら困ると思いスタンダードシートにしました。見づらいかなぁと思っていましたが、正面だったからか何の問題もなかったです。ただ、お料理を取りに行くのはゴールデンサークルシートの方達のアトになるので少し待ちますが。。。
お料理は海苔巻きとローストビーフは美味しかったですが他は普通かな。
色々なダンスを見ることができて楽しかったです。その中でもファイヤーダンスは迫力がありました。子供も騒ぎ出すどころか音楽に合わせてリズムをとっていました。
ショー終了後にダンサーの方々と記念撮影ができたのは良かったです。

My husband & I had a wonderful evening. The food was super delicious. We would like to thank the great chef, the pleasant/efficient servers & their very attentive manager. The show was great & very entertaining ESP. Michael Jackson, & the 2 Elvis impersonators. We'll do it again next time we are in Honolulu. Thank you so much for that excellent night!!! Btw, we're also glad that they gave us our 2 pictures. We will highly recommend this superb activity to our families & friends!

I was able to participate on a nice day. I had previously joined daytime cruises, but this was my first experience with a sunset cruise. It was a bit chilly, but the sea was illuminated by the orange sun, creating a different atmosphere compared to the daytime views. It seemed that not many Asians participated, which added to the feeling of "Ah, this is foreign," and I liked that.

お天気の良い時に参加できました。
今まで日中のクルーズには参加したことがありましたが、サンセットクルーズは初体験。
少し肌寒くて、でも海はオレンジの太陽に照らされて、
日中見ている海の景色とはまた一味違った感じでした。
アジア人はあまり参加していない様で、なんだかそれも、「あぁ外国だなぁ」という感じがして良かったです。

There is a boarding area between the Sheraton and Halekulani, and check-in is done flexibly there.

Both the captain and the crew were lively and helped create a great atmosphere. It didn't feel forced, so we were able to enjoy ourselves too.

They quickly brought us drinks as soon as we ran out, and I felt they were really attentive. I also received some snacks. Everyone was kind, and I really felt their hospitality.

We even saw dolphins along the way.

There was a comment about there being few Japanese people, but when we boarded, there were about three groups.

シェラトンとハレクラニの境に乗り場があり、チェックインもそこで臨機応変にやっています。

キャプテン、クルー共にノリノリで盛り上げてくれました。
ワザとらしくないので、こちらも盛り上がる事ができました。

そして、飲み物もなくなったらすぐに持ってきてくれて、よく見てくれてるなと感じました。
スナックもいくつかもらいました。
みんな優しくて、ホスピタリティーをとても感じました。

途中でイルカも見れました。

日本人が少ないとレスがありましたが、私達が乗った時は３組程いました。

Once we entered, there was a long wait until the show started. 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 our food, but our seats were towards the back, so we had to wait quite a bit, and there wasn't much to do, which felt like a waste of time.

It might be nice for those who want to enjoy the show leisurely, but considering the quality of the food, I thought it was a bit pricey, even with the strong yen.

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、時間が勿体なかったです。
のんびりショーを見たい人だったらいいかもしれないけど、料理の内容を考えても、円高でもちょっと高いなぁと思いました。

Last month, I booked this as part of my son's wedding event. Most of the participants were repeat visitors to Hawaii and had already experienced dinner cruises. The bride's wish was for a dinner cruise, so after some deliberation, we decided on this sunset cruise. The boat was small, which might be a bit unfortunate for those who are sensitive to motion, but the open-air breeze was pleasant, and the staff had experience staying in Japan and were very attentive. Next time, I would like to take a cruise for my husband and my anniversary.

先月、息子のウエディングのイベントとして申込みました。
殆どの参加者が、ハワイのリピーターと言う事もあり、ディナークルーズも経験済み。お嫁さんの希望はデナークルーズ。で、頭を抱えた結果決めたのが、こちらのサンセット　クルーズ。船が小さい為、船に弱い方には少しお気の毒でしたが、オープンエアーの風邪が心地よく、スタッフの方も、日本に滞在経験があり、とても気の付くスタッフでした。次回は私と主人のアニバーサリーで乗船したいものです。

the staff was great

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

Crew was friendly and funny. It was a very enjoyable cruise. I highly recommend it. Very low key and relaxing.

This was our second time on the cruise and we loved it more this time. The staff are very nice and helpful. Thanks for a great time.

This was our family's first trip to Hawaii. We participated thinking we could enjoy authentic hula and food. As expected, the powerful and graceful movements of the wahine and the muscular dances of the kane were truly wonderful. Our family, while doing hula, learned a lot.

The food was very delicious. As expected from Hilton!! However, my youngest daughter, who just lost two front teeth during this trip, struggled with her favorite corn...

今回初めての家族でのハワイ旅行でした。本場のフラと食事を堪能できると思い参加しました。予想通り迫力があるし体もしなやかなワヒネ、マッチョ体型のカネの踊りは本当に素晴らしかった。　フラをしている私たち家族はとてもいい勉強になりました。

食事の方はとてもおいしかったです。さすがヒルトン！！
ただ、この旅行中に前歯二本抜けたばかりの次女は大好きなコーンに四苦八苦。。。

I'm not big on touristy activities, but I was thoroughly surprised at how fun this sunset cruise was. My 2 daughters (8 and 5) both had a blast. Being out in the open waters does wonders... next time I'm in Hawaii, I know what we're doing again.

This is the best experience on the catamaran. We enjoyed a lot. This is more than worth the price we paid for. The drinks were awesome and all together a great experience event.

Was a nice time. The mixed drink that was served had too much sugar. I think it is best to stick with wine or beers, or at least have a drink that is more rich with booze and not so sweet.

The instructions and directions to the location where we could park was not specific for those of us who had never been in the area before (we paid $26 to park). Our emailed confirmation told us to check in at 6:45pm and the catamaran would set sail at 7pm. Our group was first to arrive with plenty of time for checking in. Our catamaran did not arrive to pick us up until 7:15pm and it took another 10 minutes after that to get us all checked in to board. Once onboard, we realized the mai tais were weak so we drank beer instead. This was a very slow-paced cruise. We would like to come back but are more likely to experience a different catamaran cruise than this one.

The performance was wonderful. Since I chose the premium seats, I was able to enjoy it well, and I could eat at the buffet without waiting. However... I felt like something was missing, and upon reflection, it was that I couldn't participate, just watching. When I came to Hawaii before, during the sunset cruise, there was dancing right in front of me, and jumping in to participate was so much fun.

パフォーマンスは素晴らしかったです。プレミアムシートにしたのでよく鑑賞できたしビュッフェも待たされずに食べることができました。でも。。。何か物足りない感じがして、よく考えたら観ているだけで参加できなかったことだと。以前ハワイに来たとき、サンセット・クルーズでは目の前でのダンスがあり、飛び入り参加がとても楽しかったので。

First of all, even though the meeting place was our hotel, it took a while for the guide to be identified. It seems that the dancer who was performing was the guide. We saw other tourists talking to that dancer and being taken somewhere, so we decided to try asking them too, and we were able to arrive safely.

Then, there was a long line to the venue, and it took a lot of time before we could take our seats. Since we had reserved Golden Circle seats, we sat in the front row, and those in the Golden Circle were prioritized for food, so we could start eating quickly. However, those in the regular seats seemed to go for food more than 30 minutes later, so I definitely recommend reserving Golden Circle seats.

Also, when ordering beer, it seems that Japanese people are often perceived as looking younger, so they checked our age. In our case, they didn't ask for a passport, but if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring an ID that shows your age.

The show featured dancers changing outfits one after another, and we got to see various dances. Personally, I found the solo dance of a little girl to be incredibly cute!

まず、集合場所が自分たちの宿泊ホテルだったにも関わらず、案内人が判明するまで時間がかかりました(A；´･ω･)
ダンスパフォーマンスをしていたダンサーさんが案内人だったみたいですｗ
他の観光客らしき人たちが、そのダンサーさんに声をかけてどこかに連れて行かれるのを見て、試しに声をかけると、私たちも無事、到着できた感じです。

そして会場まで長蛇の列で、席につくまでとても時間がかかりました。
ゴールデンサークル席を予約していたので、一番前の席に座り、ゴールデンは食事を取りに行くのも優先なので、早く食べ始めることができましたが、普通席の方々は30分以上も後に食事を取りに行くかんじなので、ぜひゴールデンサークル席を予約されることをお勧めします☆

あとはビール注文時に、やはり日本人は若く見られるらしく年齢を確認されたので(20代後半の私)、私たちの場合はパスポート提示までは求められませんでしたが、心配な方は年齢がわかる身分証を持って行かれたほうが良いかと思います。

ショーはダンサーさん達が次から次へと着替え、色々なダンスを見ることができました☆
個人的に小さな女の子のソロダンスが可愛くて仕方なかったです+.(o´∀｀o).+

The show was in English, so I thought it would be more enjoyable if I understood the language, but the show itself was powerful and wonderful, so I was glad to participate. The food was decent, and it was interesting to have Hawaiian food as well. During the show, people celebrating their birthdays or those visiting for their honeymoon were brought to the front to be celebrated, which I think made for great memories. However, the Japanese honeymoon couple seemed a bit shy while dancing together to the live band.

ショーは英語なので、言葉が分かるともっと楽しめると思いましたが、ショー自体が迫力があってすばらしいので、参加して良かった。食事もまあまあで、ハワイアンフードもありめずらしかった。ショーの中で今日が誕生日の人や今回ハネムーンで訪れている人など特別な人が前にでてみんなにお祝いされるのも、いい思い出になると思いました。ただ、日本人のハネムーンカップルは生バンドに合わせて抱き合いながらのダンスはちょっとはずかしそうでしたよ。

I participated with a group of nine, including my friend's family. The singing, hula dancing, and fire dancing were impressive, and the children had a great time. I created wonderful memories with my friends.

友人家族と9名で参加しました。歌やフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、迫力があり子供達もとても楽しんでいました。
友人との良い思い出ができました。

On the last day of our Golden Week trip, which was a Friday, we decided to participate in this highly rated activity of watching fireworks from a boat. After two hours, witnessing the ten-minute fireworks display was indeed a wonderful experience! However, while the food was tasty, I became anxious about whether I could eat much due to the boat's rocking for two hours (worried about seasickness). In the end, no one in my family could use the free drink tickets (two drinks each), and we barely managed to sip the first drink served.

Moreover, it was extremely cold. To protect my grandmother from the cold, we huddled together on the deck. Thankfully, we managed to avoid catching a cold until today, so it remains a good memory. The staff were cheerful and attentive to us, but considering all of this, I have to rate it accordingly.

Make sure to dress warmly if you go. I also recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. Additionally, since the restroom is located at the bottom of the boat, I think it's best to avoid going to the restroom while on board to prevent seasickness. The sunset, the bright moon, and the view of Diamond Head illuminated by it were all wonderful, but I think one hour would have been sufficient.

GW旅行の最終日、金曜日だった為、花火を船上で見上げるのも一興かもね、と、皆さんの評価も高かった本アクティビティに参加しました。
2時間の末に見上げた10分の花火の饗宴を見上げたのはやはり素晴らしい経験でした！
が、食事は味はいいのですが、やはり食べると、2時間もつか（船酔いしてしまうのでは？）と不安になるくらい揺れるため、あまり食べることができず。
飲み物のフリーチケット（各２杯）は、結局家族のだれも使えず、最初のサービスの一杯に口をつけるのが精いっぱいでした。
そして、何より、超・寒かった。
祖母を寒さから守るため、身を寄せ合って甲板に座り、、結局今日まで風邪をひかないで済んだので、良い思い出ではありますが。
スタッフの皆さんは陽気で楽しく、我々にも大変気を使ってくださったのですが、、、そんなこんなで評価の星数です。
しっかり暖かい恰好をしていってください。
さらに、酔い止めは、しっかり飲んで参加をお勧めします。
また、船のトイレは船底にあるため、船上でトイレに行くのも、酔うのを避けるには、やめたほうがよいかと思います。
サンセットも、月が明るくなる様子もそれに照らし出されるダイヤモンドヘッドも素晴らしかったけど、１時間でいいです。。

It's a boat that feels like a fish without substance, but it allows you to feel close to the sea, which is great. It's a fun experience that you don't get with larger boats.

身のない魚のような船ですが、
海を身近に感じれてイーです。
大きな船にはない楽しさですね。

Great evening and entertainment. Sat by door which despite staffs attempts to block off, was continually opened by customers causing a lot of wind while we ate.

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

I went to a luau show. I wasn't expecting much, as I didn't plan to go all the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I didn't understand the language, it felt like everyone could participate. The final fire dance was breathtaking. The dancers looked like they were having so much fun, which made it enjoyable for us too.

The meeting point was a bit hard to find, and the guidance wasn't sufficient, so I was a bit confused. I paid extra for good seats, but those who got in early were able to sit in the front. To get in early, you should stay a bit away on the Ala Moana side rather than at the meeting point. I think the guidance was provided early.

ルアウショーに行ってきました。
あまり期待していなかったのですけど、
ポリネシア文化センターとかまで行く気はなかったもので。

でも、いい方に裏切られました。
言葉はわからなくても、みんなで参加できた感じです。
最後のファイアーダンスは圧巻です。
ダンサーは皆さん、とっても楽しそうに踊っていて、
それがまた楽しかったです。

集合場所がちょっとわかりずらいのと、案内も十分では
なかったので、戸惑いました。
プラス料金でいい席を取りましたが、そのなかでも
早く会場に入ることができた方が一番前に座れます。
早く会場に入るには、
集合場所よりもアラモアナ側で遠巻きにしていること。
案内が早くされたと思います。

I applied for the Golden Circle Premium, but I was very disappointed as my seat was in a backstage-like area. I had high expectations for my first luau show. I arrived early, but the ticket exchange was not prioritized, and there were people who already had tickets while others were waiting in line, which was disappointing due to the lack of guidance. It felt like the seating was grouped by foreigners and Japanese. The food was delicious.

ゴールデンサークルプレミアムに申し込んだのですがせきが舞台裏のようなところでとても残念でした。初めてのルアウショーで期待をしていたのですが。早くから行っていたのですがチケットの交換が優先ではなく順番だった人もいればもうすでに持っている人がいたりで案内もなくがっかりでした。席が外国人と日本人とにグループ分けがしてあったかんじでした。料理は美味しかったです。

On the day, it was quite windy and cold. The paper cups with drinks were being blown around quite a bit. Since everything was in English, I felt like I was just kind of looking at it... The fire dance was amazing. As for the food, it was just okay.

当日は風も強くて寒かったです。
飲み物の入った紙コップも結構飛ばされていました。
全て英語なのでなんとなく見ているという感じで・・・
ファイヤーダンスはすごかった。
食事はこんなののかな？くらいです。

The sunset viewed from the catamaran was amazing. The wind is strong over the sea, and it gets quite cool in the evening, so don't forget to bring a light jacket!

カタマランから眺めるサンセットは最高でした。
海の上は風が強く夕方は結構涼しいので羽織るのもを忘れずに！
