Oahu
My fiance and I had a great time on this cruise. The sailboat was beautiful, the staff was awesome! The food was delicious. Good music. Beautiful sunset.... We even saw dolphins! We plan on doing other activities hosted by this crew.
what a fun time we had the food was very good.the show you cant miss this one,the service was excellent ,the sunset awsome.do not let this dinner cruise get away from you.....mahalo al n kathie becker
We have been on several dinner cruises in the Chicago area. This cruise was by far the best. It was a perfect way to finish up our vacation. The meal was very good. The crew was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was alot of fun - I wish that part of the experience lasted longer. We were just getting into the groove when the boat pulled into the dock.
Well worth the money.
We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing
-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif
Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.
The ticket center looks like a small booth, and it's quite confusing...
The cruise is interesting at first, especially with the beautiful sunset, which is enjoyable, but the wait time until the fireworks is just too long...
For that matter, it wasn't as close or as impressive as I expected, and there weren't that many fireworks either...
It felt a bit off.
It didn't turn into a lively atmosphere with strangers all having fun together. Maybe the age group of the people on board was older?
チケットセンターも小屋みたいで、よくわからないし・・・
クルーズも最初は物珍しいので、夕日も綺麗だしたのしいんですけど、花火までの時間があまりにもありすぎる・・・。
のわりには、そんなに近くで大迫力ってわけでもなく、沢山あがるわけでもなく。。。。
微妙な感じです。
知らない人たちもみんなでワイワイってことには全然なりませんでした。乗船してる人の年齢層が高かったのかな？

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.
The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.
I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.
祖父母と親子の５人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。
ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー＆ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。
あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。

This time, I participated in a special fireworks event on the eve of Independence Day. In Hawaii, where it has been quite cold in the mornings and evenings, it was also chilly on this day, and the wind over the sea was quite cold without long sleeves. Plus, the drinks were cold... The fireworks on the 4th are much larger in scale, but since I could only book for this day, I thought, well, that's okay... We set sail at 6:30, and while waiting for the fireworks that started at 8:45, we enjoyed the sunset and listened to live music, but it felt a bit long. I got a bit bored. Inside the boat, they were playing music at a loud volume, and an Indian family with a baby was struggling with their crying child, asking to lower the volume, but their request went unheard. I also wondered about bringing a baby on a nighttime fireworks cruise. Drinks, including alcohol, were limited to three per person! Additionally, there were snacks provided, which were quite nice. Watching the sunset and enjoying the evening view of Honolulu was lovely. Especially since it was a catamaran, it felt very pleasant.
今回、独立記念日前夜の特別な花火の日に参加しました。連日朝晩寒い位のハワイで、この日も長そでがないと、海上はかなり風が冷たかったです。それに飲み物も冷たいものだし・・・花火は４日の本ちゃんの方が数倍大規模ですが、予約できたのがこの日だったので、ま、いいかと・・・出港が6：30で、8：45から始まった花火までサンセットを見て、生演奏を聞いて過ごしますが、ちょっと長いなと。飽きてしまいましたね。船内では大音量で音楽を流していて、赤ちゃんずれのインド人家族が、泣きやまない子供に手を焼いて、音量下げてと言っていましたが、聞き届けられず。夜の花火観賞クルージングに赤ちゃん連れてくる方もどうかとも思いましたけどね。ドリンクはアルコールも含め全て一人3杯まで！あと、おつまみがでました。こちらも結構いただけましたよ。夕日をみながら、ホノルルの夕暮れを眺めるのもいいものでした。ましてやカタマランなので、とっても気持ちがよかったです。

It's hard to find the place without a map!!

We loved the food...So delicious....the sunset was so nice and romantic....crabs were all you can eat....
I would like to thank our hawaii activities director ... We thought we had made reservations for Tuesday, June 8, but it turned out that I had made the reservation for Monday, June 7. They came to pick us up at our hotel on Monday, and we weren't ready. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mistake ... I thought I had been really careful to make sure that something like that hadn't happened ... but, I DID make the mistake. The Oahu Cruise people were very understanding, and told me that they would just pick us up on Tuesday. I then called our hawaii activities director and told her about the mistake I had made. She said that there was not a problem, no extra fee, and that she would reschedule me for Tuesday, and fax me a new voucher to our hotel. Talk about service! She was GREAT! The voucher was at our hotel in minutes!
Also, I need to say that this cruise is EXCELLENT! The food was EXCELLENT, and the entertainment was WONDERFUL!
Thanks for everything! We had a GREAT
I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.
英語があまり出来ないので心配でしたが、
参加してみると、スタッフの方が親切に飲み物を出して下さり、景色も最高で、とても素敵な経験をすることが出来ました。日本人は、私たちの家族だけでした。

The food and entertainment was great.
I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆
The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...
I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.
私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆
ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。
もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

This was a very enjoyable cruise of Oahu's sunset. We enjoyed the food and entertainment. My husband and I saw flying fish which to us was icing on the cake. The sunset was amazing to watch and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The waiter showed us tricks on disassembling our lobster, which was nice, I didn't want to make a mess. I think the Navatek is the best because of the smoothness and to be able to go into open waters and still remain smooth. This is a wonderful cruise and a great way to end an evening.
It is a lot of fun and a perfect way to end the day. The crew really makes this trip worth while - Captain John and Rabbit were AWESOME!!!
It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!
For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!
想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。（おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、
何かちょっとしたスナック菓子とかあるとより楽しいかも）
４月の日の入りは、１９時！これだと、スケジュールにあった時間ではなく、サンセットがうまく見れないのかと
思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
１７：３０出港、１９：３０戻りといった具合に
２時間近くクルージングを楽しめました！
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。
私達家族５人しか日本人がおらず、船上での注意事項

全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で
紙でも渡してくださるといいのでは。。。と思いました。
ノリがいい音楽がたくさんかかり、
気がつけば、父まで踊りだす始末！
この価格で、フリードリンクであの楽しさは、かなりコスパいいですよ！オススメです！

The staff was magnificient. The cruise along the sunset waters of Oahu was romantic and picture perfect. Great entertainment and food. We had the 3 star VIP with Dom Perignon. Wonderful night. Perfect for couples. And if you are thinking of Proposing, this itinery is perfect. Alo'ha!!!!
Um... yeah. this was an AMAZING way to start our Oahu vacation. We went as a couple doing the regular package. The food was good- no real complaints there. and you get one drink (that was pretty weak). and there is entertainment. all as one would expect...
but the best part of it was the SUNSET!! Even though it was a little chilly, it was incredibly romantic and we got some nice photos
And we SAW HUMPBACK WHALES!!! about 12-15 of them to be exact. Lots of tail flukes and 4 spy-hopping. We were probably the only couple that saw that many because we ate dinner and then decided to for-go the cheesy entertainment with all the ...tourists, and go up on the deck to make sure we didn't miss the sunset. When we went back in, we were surprised how many people didn't go on the deck, and didn't see ANY whales!!
TIPS: Arrive early to get a dinner table by the window. Don't waste your time with the cheesy entertainment, the sunset is what makes this trip worth it (and whales!!). Also, get
We went on the Dinner Cruise for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable. They had some great entertainment (singer and dancers). The food was wonderful as well. But to top of our evening we were able to spot some dolphins swimming and jumping along side the boat. Could not have had a better experience and would definitely do this again.
Everything was great. Food, fun, and entertainment. From pick up to drop off. Professional and courteous. Great experience. I'd recommend t for everyone.
The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.
約30？名ほどの満席に近い状態で、出港しました。
夕日が、落ちる間際が本当にきれいでした。が、乗った早々ﾄｲﾚを我慢出来なくなり大変でした。しばらく我慢をしていましたが・・・簡易トイレがあることが分からず・・・
外人さんは、飲んで騒いで・・・本当によく話をしていました。見習いたいです。

We wanted to do something special for our Anniversary. We're celebrating 6 years. We've never done anything like this.
Taking the Navatek was a nice experience.
We had the best seat. We recommend paying extra for the window seat its worth it. And the Sunset was soo Awesome. I was worried about getting sea sick I'm sorta sensitive, But I was uneffected. I did not get sick :)
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and my Husband has been here for over 10 years so we see beautiful senaery everyday, And I've danced hula and tahitian Yet, Its just nice to get away and enjoy Hawaii for yourself...
We had a Great Time and would Do it Again :)
Maybe next time we'll take my Mom in Law I think she'd love it!
This cruise was a great way to start our two week vacation in Hawaii!
We had a great time although the way the gentlemen at the check in referred to it as the booze cruise, you had wave down a crewmen in order to get a drink or a refill!
We had a great sunset and a full moon rising which made it extra special.
Since it was a cloudy day in Oct., we didn't really get a spectacular sunset, but that's not the cruise company's fault. The ride to Diamondhead and back was nice. Staff was very friendly, and the hula/ singing show was pretty good. The big bus picked us up a block away from our hotel, so we didn't have to deal with trying to find the boat, or parking. A big plus!
In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.
ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを１度は体験してみたい！ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう！』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。

I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.
他の人の書き込みに屋上でやったとありましたが、私たちのときは広い中庭でやり、非常に開放感がありよかったです。海も見えます。
ショーもいろいろな踊りがあり、メリハリがあり楽しかったです。司会は英語で観客が何人か参加する場面も有りました。（外国の方はのりがよく盛り上がっていました）
ファイヤーダンスはすごかったです！
最後に出口にダンサーが何人かいて一緒に写真をとってもらうことができました。

The cruise was great!
The staff was very efficient, and helpful too.
Ambiance onboard was great, with music and a unique openbar!
I recommand this cruise to everyone, couple or friends!
Free alcohol (unlimited) and the ocean? Awesome time! One of the best values on my trip. Paid WAY more for WAY less one some other ones!
My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.
