All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

The dinner cruise on Star of Honolulu was awesome. The crew were very welcoming and efficient. The dancers were terrific-we really enjoyed them and how close to the audience they were. But the food was the best part. Crab legs, beef and chicken with all the trimmings. Wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

One of the joys of going to Hawaii is being able to see Presley. I have been a big fan since he was alive. I got to see him again this time. From a distance, this Presley looked quite similar to him. His physique, voice, and singing were nearly perfect. The venue was at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is close to the hotel, and even better, there is a food court on the second floor of this building where we had dinner. He sang six songs, including "Blue Hawaii" and "My Way." His show can't be seen without going to Las Vegas, but this one is not inferior; at the end, you can take a photo together. I highly recommend it.

ハワイに行く一つの楽しみは、プレスリーに会えることです。彼が生きている頃から、大のファンでした。今回も会えました。今回のプレスリーは遠目には顔もよく似ていました。体形、声、歌も満点に近い存在でした。会場は　ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターにあり、ホテルから近くであり、さらにいいことはこの建屋の2階にはフードコートがあります、ここで夕食を済ませて行きました。ブルーハワイ、そして最後にマイウェーなど6曲も歌ってくれました。彼のショーはラスベガスに行かないと見れませんが、ここはそれに引け劣りません、最後には一緒に写真も撮ってくれます。おすすめです。

Beautiful relaxing evening. Free-flowing drinks. Thoroughly enjoyable sail.

It was a great experience! The activities were fun and educational! Great family environment! Wonderful performances, amazing performers, good food and drinks! The best activity and experience on our vacation! You have to go!

My husband and I had a good time on the cruise. The food was good and the show was fun!

You know how you can never quite describe the atmosphere, moments and beauty of something? That was this experience. From a long distance traveler- this was once in a lifetime. Tell everyone you know and bring them with you. 10/10.

I arrived a little early, and the staff greeted me, allowing me to take photos with the hula dancers, enjoy the ukulele, and have some drinks. The food was delicious as well. I think it would be nice to have a bit more Hawaiian cuisine. The show was wonderful, and I had a great time. I was seated in the second row, center, so I could see the performers' expressions clearly. I was also able to take a photo with Michael and Elvis at the end. It was a different kind of enjoyment compared to the hula show at the Hilton.

少し早めに到着しましたが、受付の方に声掛けいただき、フラダンサーとの写真撮影・ウクレレ・飲み物などの対応を受けました。
食事も美味しかったです。もう少しハワイらしい料理が多いと良いかなとは思います。
ショーもすばらしく楽しく過ごせました。場所も２列目真ん中で表情まではっきりと見えました。
マイケル･エルビスとも最後に写真を一緒にとれました。
ヒルトンのフラショーとは違う楽しみ方ができ楽しめました。

A couple in their 70s has experienced Hawaii several times in the past and is well aware of its charm. However, they have recently become more aware of their declining physical strength and decided to enjoy one last trip to Hawaii while they are still able to move around.

In previous trips, they prioritized visiting various tourist spots, and the only show they had seen was over a decade ago at the Polynesian Cultural Center. This time, they considered revisiting the center for its grand show, but due to the distance, they learned that there was a show very close to their hotel in Waikiki and decided to sign up for it on a whim.

To their surprise, the show turned out to be quite professional, featuring not only beautiful hula and intense Polynesian dances but also performances by impersonators of the late popular stars, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. They realized that if this were the real deal, it would be incredibly difficult to obtain tickets even for a hefty sum, and they both agreed on that.

After the show, there was a meet-and-greet with the artists and a photo opportunity, which added to their experience. On the way back to the hotel, they felt that just being able to see such a show made the trip to Hawaii worthwhile, and they were very satisfied, especially when his wife showed off a photo of herself with the beloved "Presley."

70歳代の夫婦、ハワイ旅行は過去にも何度か体験してハワイの魅力を十分認識しておりますが、最近とみに体力の衰えを自覚するようになり、身体が動くうちにもう1度、と今回が最後のつもりでハワイ旅行を楽しんで来ました。
数年前までは、ハワイの色んな観光スポットを巡ることを優先していた関係で、ショーを鑑賞したのは10数年前の「ポリネシアカルチャーセンター」でのショーが1度きり。
今回の旅行でも、久し振りにそこを訪れて豪華ショーを鑑賞しようかとも思ったのですが、距離的にちょっときつかったので、ワイキキの宿泊ホテルからすぐ近くでもショーがあるのを知り、ちょっと覗いてみようかと軽い気持ちで申し込みました。
ところが、これがなかなか本格的なショーで、華麗なフラや激しいポリネシアンダンスだけでなく、今は亡き人気スター、エルビス・プレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんの歌やパフォーマンスまであって、しかもそれを中央前方のVIP席で鑑賞できるなんて、これが本物だったらン十万払ってもチケット入手は困難だろうなと家内とも納得し合ったりもして。
またショーが終わっての帰りには、出場アーティストたちとの握手会や記念撮影サービスなどもあって至れり尽くせり。
こんなショーを観れただけでも、ハワイに来た甲斐があったよね、とホテルへの帰り道、あこがれの"プレスリー"との２ショット写真を私に見せながら大満足の家内でした。

Easy entry process, meet by dance troop and greeted by crew member. Scored a very nice table by the window. Staff were warm and friendly and our first free drink was delivered promptly. Food was good and plentiful and stayed out as long as people kept going up. Show was as expected with all staff taking part. We did the fireworks night which was fab. Only real complaint was with the Sunset, the sun didn't com out to play :).
We enjoyed the evening thank you

I was impressed by the packed program. I enjoyed a delicious buffet and had a great time at the show. The appearances of Elvis and Michael allowed me to take a trip down memory lane to my younger days.

盛りだくさんのプログラムに感動。美味しいビュッフェもたっぷり頂き、ショーも大いに楽しめました。エルビスやマイケルの登場で、若い頃にタイムスリップできました。

First, we had a meal and then enjoyed a hula dance. The food was delicious. My 7-year-old son was having a great time experiencing the hula dance. After that, there was a show. At first, it was entertaining, but while I know Michael from the impersonation contest, I didn't recognize the other person, so I couldn't find it funny, just noting that he had a lot of chest hair. It felt like an unknown guy was singing while showing off his chest hair. My son was fast asleep.

We ended up here because the boat got lost, but my son said he preferred the boat. For people in their 20s and 30s, the characters might feel too outdated. It just becomes a situation where you keep listening to old music you don't know.

It felt like tracing the history of Hawaiian music. Both my son and husband said the fire show was amazing.

最初お食事してフラダンスをします。
料理は美味しいです。
7歳の息子が楽しそうにフラダンス体験をしていました。
あとはショー。最初は面白かったのですが、
モノマネ大会マイケルは知ってますが、もう1人は知らないので、胸毛が凄いくらいで面白いと思えませんでした。
知らないおじさんが汗を書いて胸毛を出した歌ってるってなります。
息子は爆睡していました。

船が迷ってこちらにしましたが、
息子は船が良かったと言っていました。
20代30代の人は人物が古すぎて微妙かと。
まず誰やねんって知らない昔の音楽をただただ聞き続ける事になります。

ハワイの歴史音楽を辿っていくみたいな感じです。
ファイヤーショーは息子も夫もすごいといっていました。

I enjoyed the hula dance, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson very much. It was great, and I would like to use it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

フラダンス、エルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン楽しく拝見しました、とても良かったです、次にハワイを訪れた際はまた利用したいと思います。

Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.

It's quite interesting, but once is enough for me.

They gave us a lei at the entry. I was very happy because it's something you don't see often. The ukulele-playing aunt went around to entertain us, and the hula girls performed a couple of times to liven things up. The food was sufficient in variety and quantity, but the taste was... just okay? The main performance is more enjoyable as you get older. If you get tired from walking, being able to sit and enjoy is a big plus, especially for the ladies!

中々、興味深いけど、一回で十分かな。

エントリーでレイをくれました。
意外とありそうで無かったので、とても嬉しい☺️
ウクレレの叔母様が席を回って楽しませてくれたり、フラガールズ（２名）が2回ほどパフォーマンスで盛り上げてくれます。
食事は種類、量ともに十分ですが、味は…そこそこ？
本編パフォーマンスは、年齢が上がるほど楽しめます。
歩き疲れたら、座って楽しめるのはポイント高いかもしれません。マダムには特に！

Private table is not Private at all, you have about 2ft at the most between tables. Service was slow we were told by the server he was covering our area due to another employee not showing up. It took a while to get drinks or water refilled. They don't have condiments available for your meal. It was very warm during dinner and the sun was blinding. Take sunglasses. The top deck was a great area to get some air. There was a large amount of guest and I thought they do a pretty good job handling the amount of people on board but it may be too many for the guest to have a truly great experience

It felt like Presley and Michael Jackson took it easy. For those in their 30s and 40s, it might not be that great. The show lasted about 1 hour and 20 minutes, and it went by in a flash. I think even the seats in the back are sufficient.

プレスリー＆マイケルジャクソンは楽したという感じです
３０代４０代の方には、いまいちかな～
場所はショーは約１時間２０分、あっという間でした
後ろの席でも充分だと思います

Since I was staying at Outrigger Reef Waikiki, I used this service during my stay. Dining while listening to Hawaiian music created a wonderful atmosphere, and I was able to relax. As for the food, the flavors were a bit on the heavy side, so I can't say it was delicious, but since it was a special menu for ticket holders, I guess that's to be expected. Whether I would want to use it again is a bit uncertain, but it might be nice for guests since you can return to your room right after the meal.

アウトリガーリーフワイキキに宿泊していたので、滞在中に利用しました。
ハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらの食事は雰囲気がとても良く、ゆっくりできました。
食事の方は、味は少し大味で美味とまでは言えませんでしたが、チケット専用の特別メニューだったので仕方ないかな…。
また利用したいかと言うと微妙な所ですが、食後すぐにお部屋に戻れるので宿泊者にはいいかもしれません。

Beautiful scenery! Honolulu city lights…wow!
Hilton fireworks was a bonus! Wonderful way to end our vacation!! We had a great time, Ryan and Ian were great.

We had a wonderful time on the cruise, the staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the atmosphere and music on board, didn't expect to get drenched on some big waves, but we had a blast. Would highly recommend the cruise!!!

It's a show with songs that everyone knows, so both adults and children can enjoy it. During the performance, taking photos is allowed, and there is a greeting session after the show, so you can take plenty of memorable pictures. The 90-minute show went by in no time!

誰もが知ってる曲ばかりなので、大人も子どもも楽しめるショーです。
上映中は写真もOKで、ショーのあとにはグリーディングもあるので、思い出の写真がたくさんとれます。
90分あっという間のショーでした！

It would be nice if the back ground music was not exist. Since the sailing time only with soft wave sound, would be my best prefered environment.

I had a very comfortable stay on the first floor of the hotel. The music was great, and the casual dining had a wonderful Hawaiian vibe that left me very satisfied. Being close to the performers added to the live atmosphere. The guests started dancing, which is a feeling not often experienced by Japanese people, allowing us to truly enjoy Hawaii. Since the tip is included, I think it's a great deal for Japanese visitors, especially with the current weak yen. A beer was included, and it was a large size, so there was plenty!

ホテル内の一階で、とても快適で過ごせました。音楽も良かったですし、料理もカジュアル料理で、ハワイ感が溢れていて大満足です。歌い手から近いので、ライブ感がありました。お客さんで来ていた人達が踊り出したり、日本人にはあまりない感覚で、ハワイを楽しめます。チップ代が込みなので円安の今は、日本人にはとても良いと思います。ビールが一杯ついているのですが、大サイズでたっぷりでした！

I thought it might be too early for my preschooler, but after considering the meal option, I decided that the show alone would be fine since the duration might be too long for young children. The location was also convenient, so we participated to create some travel memories.

I was worried about my child possibly falling asleep or getting fussy during the show, but it turned out to be a vibrant performance with classic songs, and my child seemed to particularly enjoy the hula dance. The seating was not too close to the front, which allowed my child to see the entire performance, and that turned out to be a good thing.

The check-in process was smooth, and the optional commemorative photo session we had signed up for went quickly. We also bought drinks for both the child and adults at the bar counter (since it's paid, some people choose not to order), so we didn't get thirsty during the show and had a great time.

There were also familiar songs from Moana, making it a show that the whole family could enjoy, so we were very satisfied. Initially, I had a lot of worries, but I’m really glad we were able to see it and create wonderful memories.

At the end, there was a photo opportunity with the stars in the hallway, but since my child looked sleepy, we decided to skip it. We had signed up for the initial photo option, so we didn't get a picture with the stars, but it was definitely the right choice to sign up.

It was also nice that there were plenty of shops open after the show, so it didn’t feel scary at all. If you’ve never seen it before, I highly recommend this show!

未就学児にはまだ早いかな？と思いましたが、食事付きと悩んだ結果、未就学児の子連れには拘束時間が長いという判断でショーだけなら大丈夫だろうと立地も行きやすい良い場所だったので、旅の思い出に参加してきました。
未就学児が途中、寝てしまったりぐずったらどうしようかと心配してましたが、ショーは華やかで名曲、特にフラダンスが気に入ったようで楽しそうに観ていました。
席も前の方ではなくて子供は全体を見渡せて楽しかったようで逆に良かったです。
受付もスムーズでオプションで申し込んでおいた記念撮影もサクサク進みました。バーカウンターで子供と大人の飲み物も買って（有料なので注文しない人もいます）鑑賞中も喉が乾くこともなく楽しめました。
子供も知ってるモアナの選挙もあったり家族で楽しめたショーだったので大変満足です。最初は心配だらけでしたが本当に観られて良い思い出を作る事ができました。
最後は廊下でスターとの写真サービスがありますが、子供が眠そうだったので断念しました。
最初のオプション写真サービスには申し込んでいたのでスターは一緒には写ってないですが申し込んでおいて正解でした。
終わってもお店が沢山あるので怖くないのも良かったですね。一度も観たことないなら是非オススメしたいショーです。

I had wanted to go on the Mai Tai Catamaran since last year. It departs right in front of the Sheraton where I was staying. The two skippers were really enthusiastic and it was a lot of fun. There were three groups of Japanese participants, including a baby. The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful.

去年から行きたかったマイタイカタマラン号。宿泊していたシェラトンの真ん前から出航します。スキッパーの二人がノリノリで楽しかったです。
日本人は3組参加。赤ちゃんもいました。サンセットは息を呑む美しさでした。

The fireworks lasted about 5 to 10 minutes, but they were beautiful to watch. The night view was also stunning. The staff brought drinks to us when we called out, making it easy to enjoy. There are restrooms available, but I recommend using the restroom before boarding the boat, as the ones on the boat are not ideal. The meeting point was hard to find just by looking at the paper, and I got a bit lost and flustered. I suggest allowing plenty of time and asking people for directions. I think it would be even more enjoyable if the boat could increase its speed while moving. I imagined a more leisurely experience while taking in the same scenery.

花火は、5分？10分ぐらいでしたが、見れてキレイでした。夜景もキレイでした。お酒は、声をかけて運んでくださるので、飲みやすかったです。トイレは、ありますが、船の中のトイレは、使わないで事前にトイレに行っておくことをおすすめします。集合場所は、紙を見ただけでは、わからず、迷いあせりました。時間に余裕をもって、人に聞きながら行くことをおすすめします。船のスピードを上げて移動してもらえるとさらに楽しいかなと思いました。同じ景色をのんびり見るイメージです。

It was more enjoyable to see it in person than to watch it on YouTube. On the way back, there was a service where you could take photos with the performers, which was also a lot of fun. The Royal Hawaiian Center is located in the heart of Waikiki, making it very convenient to get to and from. There were videos, and the music and dance were enjoyable to watch. The fire performances were also amazing.

ユーチューブで見るより、実際にみた方が楽しかったです。帰りに、出演者の方々と写真が撮れるというサービスがあり、それもとても楽しかったです。ロイヤルハワイアンセンターはワイキキの中心にあり、行き帰りもすごく楽でした。映像もあり、音楽や踊りも楽しく見れました。火を使ったパフォーマンスもすごかったです。

Went on this sunset cruise with my wife on our honeymoon and gotta say it was definitely a highlight! Big Ryan was super cool too

Exceptional cruise! Great service; friendly staff; fantastic entertainment; overall experience was outstanding!!! Highly recommend!!

The people operating the cruise made it fantastic! I wouldn’t think any other sunset sail would be as good as what these three gentlemen did. Would recommend to everyone.

What a great way to end off our Oahu trip! Mahalo to Mauka Luau!!
