All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

Fun evening, lots of different things to do and the show was top notch!

A wonderful event that my husband and kiddos all loved- a memory made together!

Perfect experience, exactly what I pictures + more!

It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.

The upgraded cruise was well worth it for us, the food was divine!

I went with children who aren't very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they had a great time. In addition, there are hula performances and fire shows, so I think it's a good show! Also, at the end, you can take photos with the performers and have conversations with them!

エルビスやマイケルをあまり知らない子供と行きましたがとても楽しんでいました。
それ以外にもフラやファイヤーショーなども見られるので良いショーだと思います！
また帰り際には出演者さんと一緒に写真が撮れ会話も交わせます！

Although the weak yen has resulted in considerable expenses, since I was going to board anyway, I booked a 5-star experience with fireworks on Friday and a course meal.

From the moment I boarded, I was guided to a special floor via the elevator, and the dinner set was nicely arranged at my seat, creating an excellent atmosphere.

Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and after the luxurious meal, there was a dinner show, followed by the fireworks viewed from the ship, which were breathtaking. Everyone moved to the side where the fireworks could be seen, making the boat feel like it was tilting a bit (laughs).

It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend the 5-star experience!

円安でかなりの出費にはなりますが、どうせ乗船するなら、金曜日の花火付きで、コース料理も食べられる5スターを予約しました。

乗船する時から、エレベーターでの特別フロアへのご案内、席にはディナーセットがきちんと用意され、雰囲気も抜群。

サンセットはもちろんのこと、豪華なお食事の後はディナーショー、そして船上から見る花火は、圧巻でした。みんな花火が見える方に移動するので、気持ち船が傾いているような(笑)

ハワイ観光の良い思い出になりました。
5スター、おすすめです！

I was very excited to go on this activity, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. When you arrive at check-in, they will not validate your parking (which is the opposite of the information you get in your confirmation email) so expect to pay $15 for parking and not $4. Next, they will take some pictures in front of a wall mural before you go into the boat. They don't give you a choice of whether you want to be photographed or not and they do not tell you that the pictures will cost $50 if you want them. The pictures actually came out nice so I asked if I could just buy one and they said that was not possible...way to be accommodating to your guests. The time on the cruise is way too long and they could really use a host that sounds excited to be there. The singer was fine but keeps the energy too mellow, you could see that everyone was ready to get off the cruise after an hour. I specifically chose this type of boat expecting that it would be more stable and I wouldn't get seasick but I did. I'd say if you really want a sunset cruise experience, I'd try out a catamaran since the vibe on those looks a lot more lively and friendly than on this bigger vessel...The best part of the cruise was of course the views (the bartender and server were nice as well.)

It was a beautiful evening on the ocean. The sunset was hidden behind clouds but you could see the rays from the sun peaking thru. The food was flavorful and an abundance of it. With a tremendous variety to choose from.

Eight years ago, my daughter, who was in elementary school, said she wanted to see it again, so we participated. Unlike last time, we had a buffet meal before the show started. I think the content of the show was almost the same as before. We enjoyed the look-alike show, hula, and fireman show, among other things.

8年前に小学生だった娘がまた見たいと言うので、参加しました、前回と違いショーが始まる前にビュッフェでお食事、ショーの内容は前回とほぼ同じような感じだったと思います。そっくりさんショーとフラやファイアーマンショーなど楽しめました。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise was amazing! My group had an awesome time, food was delicious, show was amazing as well. I was hoping for an actual Luau with the fire show. The service was great, very welcoming. Highly recommended!

I initially thought it would be an ordinary show since it started with hula dancing, but I enjoyed the diverse content, including impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, fire attractions, and aerial descents reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil. The theater also had a retro feel, creating a nice atmosphere.

After the show, the dancers from the Elvis and fire attraction were waiting near the exit, and I was pleased with the hospitality as they were willing to take commemorative photos. In the U.S., where prices are high, I appreciate it when shows like this offer discounted tickets.

フラダンスから始まったので、最初は凡庸なショーかなと思っていましたが、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショーや、ファイヤーアトラクションやシルクドソレイユを思わせる空中からの人の降下など、多彩な内容で楽しめました。劇場もレトロ感があり、良い雰囲気でした。
ショーが終わった後、エルビスとファイヤーアトラクションのダンサーが出口付近に待機しており、記念写真の撮影に応じてくれるなど、おもてなし感にも満足しました。米国は物価が高く、今回のショーのように、値引き販売してくれると、うれしいです。

Boarding Day: Friday
Boarding Course: 5 Star

If you're going to board, it's best to do so on a Friday when the Hilton fireworks are held. The fireworks themselves last about 5 minutes, but the combination of the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks from the sea is breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the sunset was not very impressive due to the clouds. I guess that's just luck...
However, the dinner was extremely delicious.
Also, the live performance was great.
I had previously boarded a 3 Star cruise, but I think I will only choose 5 Star in the future.
While it is more expensive compared to 3 Star, you should definitely go for 5 Star.

乗船曜日:金曜
乗船コース:5スター

乗船するなら、ヒルトンの花火が行われる金曜です。花火自体は5分程度ですが、海上からワイキキの夜景と花火のコラボは絶景です。
サンセットは雲があり、感動する感じではなかったのが残念でした。こればかりは運かと…。
でも、ディナーが非常に美味しかったです。
また、生演奏がよかった。
以前に3スターに乗船したことありましたが、今後は5スターしか選ばないと思います。
3スターに比べれば値は張りますが、5スターにすべきです。

We participated as a couple. Since the explanations were in English, I didn't understand everything, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. It was a fun time talking with the Japanese people who were also on board. I was a bit worried about needing the restroom after drinking too many Mai Tais, but there was a restroom on the boat, so I felt relieved. I was a little surprised to find a restroom in such a place, but several people, both men and women, used it.

The night view of Waikiki from the sea was amazing, and the Hilton fireworks were a different experience compared to viewing them from land, making it feel luxurious. At one point, we raised the sails and went sailing, which was quite fast and refreshing.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
英語での説明なのでよくわからなかったんですが、雰囲気で盛り上がることができました。
同乗していた日本人の方ともお話できて楽しい時間でした。
マイタイを飲み過ぎるとトイレが心配されてますが、船にはトイレがあるので安心です。こんなところにトイレが、ちょっとビックリでしたが、男性、女性とも何人かの方が利用してました。

洋上から眺めるワイキキの夜景は素晴らしく、ヒルトンの花火は陸から見るのとは一味違い、贅沢な気分でした。
途中、帆を上げてセーリング、結構な速さで爽快でした。

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time seeing fireworks, and I booked the Fireworks Cruise. It was wonderful to enjoy the fireworks while sipping drinks, and I didn't experience any seasickness, plus the cruise went all the way to Diamond Head, making for a very enjoyable time. The only downside was that the meeting point was hard to find.

Since I was staying at the Sheraton, I thought it would be easy to get to the designated spot, but I couldn't figure it out even while looking out at the coast. When the boat finally arrived, I assumed it was ours, but when I asked the crew, they told me our boat was docked on the other side of the Sheraton. I realized I had gone to the wrong meeting point just in time to barely make it for departure, and I had to run.

Regarding the meeting point, the explanation of "go past the Sheraton pool and head to the beach" is a bit misleading for those staying at the Sheraton, as it's easier to exit towards the Royal Hawaiian side. I think it would be more helpful to specify the Hale Koa side instead.

ハワイは何度か来ていますが、花火は初めてで、ファイアークルーズを予約しました。お酒を飲みながらゆっくり花火がみられて、心配していた船酔いもなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルーズがあって、とても楽しい時間でした。唯一のマイナスポイントは集合場所がわかりにくかったこと。
シェラトンに泊まっていましたので指定の場所まですぐのはずが、海岸を見渡してもわからず。
やっと船が来たので、てっきりそれだと思っていましたが、船員さんに聞くと私たちが乗る船はシェラトンの向こう側に泊まると。集合場所を間違えている事がわかったのが出航に間に合うかギリギリの時間で、慌てて走りました。集合場所について「シェラトンのプールの横を通って海岸に出る」という説明ではシェラトンに泊まっているとロイヤルハワイアン側に出るのが楽なので、ハレクラニ側と記載された方が親切だと思います。

It was a lovely experience! Crew was amazing and entertainment was fun. Food was also very good. Only issue I had was I ordered 2 Mai tias. One alcoholic ,one non alcoholic and they charged me same price for each…$10 a piece. I do not think a drink that only contained fruit juice and no alcohol should have been the same price.
Other then that, it was a beautiful cruise

Great staff, drinks, music, and view of the fireworks.

Even with standard seating our seats were close to the stage and our view was very good. Venue doesn’t offer the tropical and natural setting and backdrop (high rise in background of all our photos), but it was close to our hotel and didn’t consume several hours of our day/night going/returning on a bus.
Entertainment was very good and the food was good. All luaus are expensive, so no real bargains.
Overall, we are glad we went and had the experience.

It was my first experience, and I was able to feel Hawaii. There were various events, and it became a lifelong memory. It was fun!

初めての体験で、ハワイを感じる事ができました。
色々なイベント事があり、一生の思い出になりました。
楽しかったデス

It was a wonderful show where I could enjoy various genres of music and dance. The quality of the singing and dancing was also high.

いろいろなジャンルの音楽やダンスを楽しめて素晴らしいショーでした。歌やダンスのクオリティも高かったです。

I felt strong swells at the beach, but it was completely calm offshore. I only remembered going out to see the sunset and coming back before, but this time we cruised all the way around Diamond Head while enjoying the sunset, fully savoring the refreshing experience on the catamaran. It was only in English, but there were no particular issues. The free soft drink was a very light pineapple flavor? (laughs) That wasn't the main purpose, so it was just a little charm. I went on the last day, and it was casual and a fitting way to cap off the final day; it was a great trip. I absolutely recommend it.

浜辺ではうねりが強い感じがしましたが沖は全く静か。以前は沖に出て夕陽を見て帰って来ただけの記憶でしたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで夕陽を見ながらずーっとクルーズ、めいっぱいカタマランでの爽快感を堪能できました。英語のみですが特に問題はなかったです。フリーのソフトドリンクはうすーいパイナップル味？笑。それが目的ではないのでそこもご愛嬌。最後の日に行きましたが気軽ですし最終日を飾るにふさわしい、良い旅でした。
絶対おすすめです。

I participated with my wife and two daughters, a total of four people. Most of the participants were from overseas, and we were probably the only Japanese family there. I was the only one in my family drinking alcohol, so I had the famous Mai Tai while the other three enjoyed soft drinks. The waves were relatively calm, so it didn't sway as much as I had worried it would. I enjoyed my drink while being blown by the wind, and the pleasantness made me keep drinking, leading to about five or six more Mai Tais and sparkling wines. Unfortunately, the cloud conditions were a bit poor, so I couldn't see the "perfect sunset," but I was able to see a big rainbow, making it a very satisfying boat trip.

妻と2人の娘、計4人で参加しました。
参加者のほとんどが海外の方で、日本人はおそらく私たち家族だけでした。
家族の中でお酒を飲むのは私だけだったので、私は名物マイタイを、あとの3人はソフトドリンクを頂きました。
波が比較的穏やかだったので心配していたほど揺れることもなく、風に吹かれながら美味しく飲み、あまりの気持ち良さに酒も進んでマイタイのおかわりやスパークリングワインなど5、6杯も頂いてしまいました。
残念ながら雲の条件がやや悪く“100点満点の夕陽”は拝めませんでしたが、大きな虹を見ることができ、大満足の船旅になりました。

I have loved magic since I was young, and among all magicians, I particularly adored Atsuto Ogawa's performances. So when I found out I could see his magic during my trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation immediately. Before the show, Mr. Ogawa spotted us and came over to chat! During the performance, he mixed in some Japanese, and we had a really enjoyable time. I was truly moved to see Atsuto Ogawa's magic live, something I had admired for so long!

昔からマジック好きな自分は、中でも緒川集人さんのマジックが大好きだったため、ハワイ旅行にあたって緒川さんのマジックが見れるということで即予約。
開場前に緒川さんが自分たちを見つけて、話しかけてくれました！
公演中も日本語を交えながらやってくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく昔から見ていた緒川集人のマジックを生で見れたことに感動でした！

What a fabulous trip.
My partner and i thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Stevie and the crew were amazing and made the trip so enjoyable.
A trip not to be missed. The views are spectacular watching the sunset from the catamaran.
Highly recommend.

Yummy food and beautiful Hawaii views out your boat window! Can't go wrong

Super fun. Lovely ship. Friendly crew. Yummy food. Beautiful dance show. Just do it!

The food and the show were amazing. Above all, the intensity of the fire dance and the power of Michael Jackson's performance left a lasting impression on me.

食事からショーまでさいこーでした。
なんといっても、ファイヤーダンスの迫力、マイケルジャクソンの迫力、全てが記憶に残りました。

17:10 Arrived at the meeting place (the meeting time was noted as 17:15)
~ Waiting while standing for about 40 minutes ~
17:50 Entered the venue
~ Waiting at the seats for about 40 minutes ~
18:30 Guided to go get the buffet
~ Waiting in line for food ~
18:45 Served the first dish on the plate
~ Picking various dishes ~
18:55 Finished getting food and took a seat. Started eating.
19:00 The performance begins
Around 20:00, fireworks go off

◆ Overall, there was a lot of waiting. I brought my elderly parents, and the waiting times really tired them out.
◆ If you're just listening to the performance and singing, I think it's sufficient to stay in the guest room.
◆ For the luau show, there were people staying at the Hilton who watched from the beach outside the venue over a low fence. Honestly, it was easier to see up close than sitting in the golden seats.
◆ As mentioned in other experiences, there are times when it rains, which can be stressful. I found myself wishing, "Please don't let it rain!" Also, the wind was quite strong.
◆ Because of the strong wind, the food got quite cold while I was getting it. Still, the meat dishes were delicious. The menu was limited, and the breakfast buffet at Japanese hotels has more variety. I don't remember everything, but there were about two small cakes for dessert and one type of something like fruit punch.
◆ The golden seats made it quite difficult to see the show. If you're aiming for the show, I think the higher-class Diamond Premier is better.

Choosing this show for my trip to Hawaii was a mistake. I should have skipped this show and opted for a restaurant or TOGO, spending more time on sightseeing in Waikiki or ocean leisure activities. I cannot recommend it to those who find waiting times unbearable or a waste.

The day before, I went on the "Dinner Cruise Star of Honolulu 3 Star," and that was very good.

18:55 料理取り終わり着席。食事開始。
19:00 演奏が始まる
20:00ごろ 花火が上がる

◆とにかくひたすら待つことが多かったです。高齢の親を連れて行ったのですが、待ち時間でとても疲れさせてしまいました。
◆演奏や歌を聴くだけなら、客室にいても十分だと思います。
◆ルアウショーは、ヒルトン宿泊の人なら会場外のビーチから低い柵越しに鑑賞してる人もいました。正直ゴールデンシートに座ってるより近くで良く見えました。
◆他の体験談でもありましたが、雨が降る時があるので落ち着かないです。「お願いだから降らないで〜」と願うストレス、、、あと風が結構強い。
◆風が強いので、料理をとってる間に料理がかなり冷めてしまいます。それでも肉系の料理は美味しかったです。メニューは少なく、日本のホテルの朝食ブッフェの方が種類があります。全部は覚えてないけど、デザートは小さいケーキ？2種とフルーツポンチ？みたいなもの1種くらいでした。
◆ゴールデンシートはショーがかなり見えづらかったです。ショー目当てなら上位クラスのダイヤモンドプレミアがいいと思います。

今回のハワイ旅行で、このショーを選んだことは失敗でした。このショーに行かず、レストランかTOGOにして、もっとワイキキ観光や海レジャーに時間を使った方が良かったです。待ち時間が耐えられない・もったいないと思う人にはとてもお勧めできません。

前日に「ディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル 3スター」も行きましたがこれはとても良かった。

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also concerts featuring musicians from past generations, which was very enjoyable. Additionally, the fire dance was incredibly impressive! It's definitely worth going!

フラダンスだけでなく歴代のミュージシャンのコンサートも付いていてとても楽しめました。更にはファイヤーダンスも迫力満点！行く価値あります！

Our server, Danny brought great energy and had exceptional hospitality service. Good experience and perfect to enjoy with family.
