All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

The Hilton Hotel is very spacious, and I got quite lost trying to find the meeting place. I wish they had provided a clearer map or something similar.

The show itself was enjoyable, and the food was delicious. I chose the Golden Circle seats, and they guided us from those seats to the buffet, so I’m glad I opted for this seating. The people in other sections had to wait in long lines.

ヒルトンホテル内がとても広くて、集合場所が分からずかなり迷いました。もうすこし分かりやすく地図なども入れてくれればいいなと思いました。
ショー自体は楽しく、食事もおいしかったです。ゴールデンサークル席にしたのですが、ビュッフェ形式でこのゴールデンサークル席から案内してくれるのでこの席にしてよかったです。他の席の人たちはかなり並んでいました。

There were several similar shows, and I was a bit confused, but since it was in Waikiki, I chose this one! There were more participants than I expected, and it was a bit chilly since it was outdoors, but I really felt like I was in Hawaii!! I had a great time! I think it's worth seeing at least once! The hotel also had many shops, and I enjoyed shopping on the way back♪

同じようなショーがいくつかあって迷いましたが、ワイキキということで、このショーにしました！　思っていたよりも参加人数が多く、屋外の為少し寒い思いもしましたが、ハワイに来た！！という感じがして楽しい時間を過ごしました！１度は見ておいて損はないと思います！ホテルにはお店も沢山あり、帰りにはお買い物も楽しみました♪

The facilities and content were both great!

設備、内容ともに良かったです！

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was one of the most fun experiences we've had here in Hawaii! We moved here this summer and when my parents told us they were coming to visit again, I knew we had to do something special. And this was it! We had 6 adults and 5 kids between the ages of 7 and 11. The kids stole the show - they danced the whole time! It did not matter that there was drinking going on - the kids had a blast! How could they not? And of course we joined them in the dancing when the music got pumped up. Starting out with

A must-see for Elvis fans! Even those from generations who don't know him can enjoy it to some extent (laughs). Unlike Japanese impersonations, it's incredibly authentic. The lookalikes of Michael and Gaga were also quite well-crafted.

エルビスファンなら必見！知らない世代の方もそれなりに楽しめます（笑）日本のモノマネと違って限りなく本物志向ですね。マイケルやガガなどのソックリさんもかなり作り込んでいました。

The duration was three hours, but it wasn't just continuous dancing; there were audience interactions and various shows, making the time fly by. It was a lot of fun. I thought it might be a bit of a luxury, but it created wonderful memories for my mother and me on our trip. Thank you very much.

所要時間が3時間だったのですが、ただダンスが続くだけでなく、観客を巻き込んだり、色々なショーが観れてあっという間の時間でした。とても楽しかったです。ちょっと贅沢かなと思ったのですが、母娘旅に良い思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。

The scenery was obviously beautiful and the crew seemed very knowledgable and capable. However, I have not been on a cruise like this before and conduct of other passengers and comments by crew about drinking and such were inappropriate in the presence of children. The enviroment was definitely not a family one. I was disappointed because my children did not enjoy it like I thought they would because they felt uncomfortable.

The sunset, the sea breeze, the drinks, and the atmosphere were all amazing on the catamaran. But... why was it on the net? A friend's camera from a wedding and honeymoon slipped through the net and fell into the sea! A fun memory turned into a sad one...

夕日も、海風も、お酒も、雰囲気も最高のカタマラン号でした。が・・・なぜ？網の上なの？ウェディング＆ハネムーンの友人のカメラが見事網の目をくぐって海へ！楽しい思い出が悲しい思い出に・・・　

This was a show that truly felt like Hawaii. The scale has shrunk quite a bit since I first saw it several decades ago, but it was a good show. The fire dance, in particular, was impressive. The food was buffet style; it wasn't bad, but it was just okay. I recommend it for those visiting Hawaii for the first time.

これぞハワイと言う感じのショーでした。
数十年前に始めてみた時からは大分規模はシュリンクしていましたが、良いショーでした。
特に火の踊りは圧巻でした。
料理は、ビュッフェスタイルで、まずくはありませんが、まずまずというところでした。
ハワイへ初めて行く人にはお勧めです。

I always had experiences that I couldn't enjoy from the land or the hotel garden. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, and the romantic presentation from the sea.

いつも陸やホテルの庭からでは味わえない体験をしました。
ハワイといえば海、その海からのロマンある演出、

We shared a table with several foreign couples. We enjoyed watching the show while having fun conversations. When they asked if we were on our honeymoon, we were cheered on by those around us and ended up going on stage to dance. It became a wonderful memory.

外国人カップル数組とテーブルが一緒でした。
楽しく会話しながらショーを拝見しました。
ハネムーンの方？と言われたので周りから囃し立てられ登壇してダンスをしました。　良い思い出になりました。

This was like my 5th time and like always a BLAST!!

I wasn't expecting much from the hula and fire dance in Hawaii, but it was really great. I didn't understand much English, but I had a lot of fun. Before the show started, there were some fun booths where you could choose your favorite designs for temporary tattoos on your arms and legs... (it was free). The food was served buffet-style, and I could take as much as I wanted. However, once the show started, I got so focused on watching that I forgot to eat with my chopsticks (or fork). I sat next to an American named Porter, and even though we couldn't understand each other, we connected and exchanged emails. After returning home, I sent him the photos via email.

Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the free seating. I'm thinking of coming back here next year if I have dinner elsewhere in the evening.

ハワイのフラやファイヤーダンスだろうってそんなに期待していなかったけどとても良かった。
英語はよくわかりませんでしたが楽しめましたよ。
ショーが始まるまではちょっとした遊びのブース見たいのがあって足や腕にタトゥーを好きな絵柄を選んで書いてくれたり.....（無料でした）
料理もビュフェ形式で好きなものを沢山取れます。でもショーが始まると見ることに集中して箸（フォーク）が止まって食べるのを忘れてた。
隣に座っていたアメリカ人のポータさんとは言葉は理解できないけど、打ち解けメール交換しましたよ。帰国して写真をメール送信しました。
席も早めに並んで行ったので自由席でも十分楽しめました。

来年も夜は他でディナーするならまたここで楽しみたいと考えています。

With so many activities in HI being budget-breakers, this one delivers a really fun, relaxing evening at a very reasonable price. The mai tai's on board were enjoyable and refreshing. The crew was great, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs, which made the experience all the more fun. The music was appropriately upbeat and fun. I thnk I could be pursuaded to do this nightly!

Since the stage is set up on the rooftop, it's difficult to see the show because of people's heads. If the seating were tiered like at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it would be possible to see the entire show from the back, even if it's far away.

The "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is very convenient for those staying at the Hilton, as it's located within the village. It's also convenient to be able to watch the show while having a meal.

The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.

First time in Hawaii, decided to do a sunset cruise. Really enjoyed it. Crew was excellent. Unfortunately you can't pick your fellow passengers so occasionally you may find a winner.

The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.

It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.

While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.

However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...

とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。

日本人以外の方が多く（日本人：日本人以外＝１：４ぐらい）、交流ができてよかったです。（ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑）
クルーの方もみなさん親切でよくしていただきました。

大きな船でのディナークルーズもいいですが、少人数でゆったりとなごやかなクルーズもよいと思います。

ただ食事（肉系が・・・）がすぐになくなってしまい思う存分は食べられませんでした・・・。

It was a wonderful show with singing and dancing. The two drinks included were just right. The meal was also delicious.

歌にダンスにとても素晴らしいショーでした。
ドリンク２杯が付いてるのも丁度良かったです。
お食事も美味しくいただきました。

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!

I couldn't speak English, which made it half as enjoyable... I wished I could speak English. I was satisfied with both the show and the meal.

英語ができず、楽しかったが楽しさ半分に…。英語ができればと思いました。
ショー、食事ともに満足できました。

My trip to Oahu was for my honey moon. Everything was amazing! After 2 weeks of tours, hikes, shopping, snorkeling & beach fun in the sun-we needed something quiet & romantic. So our last night on this beautiful island was spent on board the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise. I chose this cruise line because I am easily motion sick & was told the build of this ship helped prevent a lot of the swaying you experience. It was great! Food was good-hawaiian pork, chicken teriyaki, potatoes & veggies(you want fancy-up grade),drinks were yum-decently priced. The crew was very nice! The most important part of the ship was the observation decks-awsome!! Plenty of room for everyone. I got some beautiful pics & wonderful memories! & the Friday night fire works made a fabulous ending to a perfect evening at the end of an amazing trip!! I would rebook this cruise on every trip I made!

Overall a great value and great time. Our 19 year old daughters were a bit bored. Can't blame them... They were jealous. The drinks were flowing and the captain and bartender did a great job keeping everyone topped off! Ship was beautiful. Nice circuit of the cruise around Waikiki and Diamond Head. Reccomend highly.

The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.

I participated alone. It was more fun than I expected. I really felt like I was in Hawaii!

Once on board, the crew started talking about safety instructions. I couldn't understand anything they were saying... ^_^;

After a while, they served everyone cocktails in cups, and the crew came around multiple times for refills.

I also went to the restroom. No one seemed to have used it, so it was very clean that day. However, it was quite narrow! Since you have to use a vertical ladder, it might be difficult for those with mobility issues...

Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely ride this catamaran again! Wait for me! (laughs) THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

一人で参加しました。
思っていた以上に、楽しかったです。
ハワイに来たんだーーー♪と実感してきました。

乗船すると、クルーの人が注意事項等を話し出します。
何を言っているかさっぱりわかりませんでした・・・^_^;

そして、しばらくすると、カップに入ったカクテルを全員に振る舞ってくれて、お代わりは、わざわざクルーの人が何度も、回ってきてくれました。

トイレも行って来ました。だれも、使用していなかったのか、その日は、とてもキレイでした。
ただ、とても狭い！　はしご階段（垂直）を使うので、足の悪い方は、大変かも・・・。

次回ハワイに来たら、またこのカタマランに乗りに行きます！待っててね！（笑）
　　　　　THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

Christine was super cool at the check-in, she was so joyful and fired-up, loved this cruise! On-board crew was amazing and the drinks kept coming and coming. What a night - hahahaha! Yeah, WHAT A NIGHT! If you are in Waikiki you will WANT to take a sail out ... I went on a few and this one - by far - had the biggest drink cups!

My friend decided to do this cruise and so we went along. We all had an incredible time! While we were sailing out in the deep blue ocean enjoying our tasty drinks and listening to the tunes, it just automatically becomes the perfect combination to get everyone in a mood to socialize, move around and even dance on-board! The best part about the whole cruise was the gorgeous sunset (besides the OPEN bar).

I would definitely recommend this to my friends and to everyone I know!! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Sailing + Drinks + Friends = GOOD TIMES!

This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!

Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!

Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!

As mentioned in other reviews, most participants were foreigners. On the day we attended, I believe there was only one other Japanese group besides us.

After departing from Waikiki Beach, there is a safety briefing and a drink explanation, all in English. Once the explanation is over, drinks are served, and then you can relax while watching the sunset.

On the day we participated, it started off sunny, but it became cloudy, and unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely and elegant time out in the waters off Waikiki. The young foreign girls were dancing with drinks in hand the whole time! Don't worry if you can't speak English at all! With so few Japanese people around, you can really feel like you're abroad.

Please make sure to use the restroom before boarding! You should assume there is no restroom on the boat. (There is one, but it has a terrible smell, and you really have to brace yourself to use it...) Well, it's for emergencies!

But other than that, it was fantastic! The next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely sign up again!

他の方の口コミにもあるように、参加者の大半の方が外国人でした。私たちが参加したこの日も、日本人は私たち以外に１組だけだったと思います。

ワイキキビーチを出発すると、安全確認の説明と、ドリンクの説明があります。全て英語です。その説明が終わると、ドリンクが配られ、あとはサンセットを見ながらのんびりです。

私たちが参加したこの日は、最初は晴れていたのですが、途中から曇ってしまい、あいにくキレイなサンセットは見れませんでした。でも、ワイキキの沖でゆっくりのんびり、優雅な時間を過ごせました。外人の若い女の子たちは、終始お酒片手に踊っていましたよ☆　英語ができなくても全然大丈夫！日本人が少ないので、外国を感じることができます。

くれぐれも、乗船する前にトイレは済ませて下さい！船にはトイレが無いと思った方がいいです。（あるにはあるけど、ひどい悪臭で、相当覚悟しないと入れないと思います・・・）　まぁ、緊急用ですね！

でもそれ以外は最高です！
次回ハワイに行ったら、必ずまた申し込みます☆
