90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Perfect view!

Reviewed by: Jackie

It can get very chilly.. be careful with the splash zone as well! Overall, the view was fantastic! We saw a full rainbow and everyone was all vibing together, enjoying the scenery. All of the members were very helpful and entertaining, they made sure everyone was having a great time. Drinks were pretty good, definitely hold onto your drinks, this booze cruise can get rocky!

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Lovely cruise with wonderful sunset and waikiki beach view!

Reviewed by: Jim & Susan

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

Rainbow of Blessings 祝福の虹

Reviewed by: Nobuko

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

Thank you for the wonderful entertainment! 素敵なエンターテイメントに感謝!

Reviewed by: アオサン

I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.

ロックアフラに参加出来てとても感激です。
最初のディナーは、ハワイローカルの美味しい料理を味わう事が出来て、良い体験でした。
また、ウクレレの生演奏やフラダンスも楽しめました。ショーの方は、多様な歌や踊り、楽器演奏があり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。どの演目も迫力があり、プロフェッショナルのエンターテイメントに体全体が震えました。こんなに素敵なショーが見れたことに感謝しています。ディナーのサーバーのおもてなしも大変素晴らしかったです。

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Beautiful Sunset!

Reviewed by: Matthew

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

It was amazing!! 最高でした!!

Reviewed by: まつ★★

The scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. The Mai Tai was very delicious and since it was all-you-can-drink, I had quite a few. Everyone was cheerful and having a great time. When boarding, you enter the water a little, so shorter clothes might be better. Many people wore shorts. It felt a bit chilly, so I think it's good to have something to throw on. It was truly a wonderful time. I plan to use this again.

景色も雰囲気も最高でした。
マイタイがとても美味しく飲み放題なのでたくさん頂きました。
皆酔っぱらって陽気で楽しかったです。
乗船するとき海に少し入るので、短めの服がいいかも。
ショートパンツの方が多かったです。
肌寒く感じるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
本当に素敵な時間です。
また利用しようと思います。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「アハアイナ」ワイキキ中心!ダイアモンドヘッドを望む絶景オーシャン・フロントでのディナーショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン内>

It was the best luau! 最高のルアウでした!

Reviewed by: ちぃちぃ

If you're looking to see a hula show, I had my mind set on the Aha Aina at the Royal Hawaiian. Of course, I signed up for the front row seating plan. Since the price difference between regular and front row seats is minimal, I recommend going for the front row.

The show itself was simply amazing! With mesmerizing dances, comedic performances, passionate dances, and powerful fire dances, there was never a dull moment—it flew by in no time.

The dinner included an appetizer, a main course, and a generous dessert platter, so much that I couldn't finish it all. As expected from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, everything was delicious. The ticket also included three drink vouchers, so I thoroughly enjoyed Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiis, and Piña Coladas.

フラのショーを見るなら、ロイアルハワイアンのアハ アイナと決めていました。もちろん、前列席確約プランで申し込み。普通席と前列席との価格差が少ないので、前列確約をおすすめします。
ショー自体は、素晴らしいの一言でした!うっとりするダンスやコミカルなお芝居、情熱的なダンスや力強いファイヤーダンス等々、飽きる暇もなく、あっという間でした。
ディナーは、前菜とメインにデザートの盛り合わせとボリュームたっぷりで、食べきれないほど。さすが、ロイヤルハワイアンホテル、どれも美味しかったです。ドリンクも3杯分のチケットが付いていたので、マイタイ、ブルーハワイ、ピニャコラーダなど十分楽しめました。

Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Anonymous

The upper deck was great for taking pictures. We started off with a charcuterie board that had tasty cheeses and fruit. The second course included lobster over a beet salad with a nice puree. My only reservation was the meat which was overcooked in my opinion, but to be fair, I'm sure many people prefer a medium-well filet. Taking pictures in between courses was a huge plus and didn't make us feel confined to the table. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time.

It took a bit to get to the top of the building but it was worth it. We got there and they were very helpful. Greeted up with a lei and took us to our table. Gave us our drink order (non alcoholic) and took our picture. The line up of food was quite amazing! All kinds of food to please everyone's liking. They also had dessert. It rained pretty good so they were able to cover the side so we didn't get wet. After dessert we we inside to watch the Rock a hula. And it was awesome.

The dance and singing were of high quality and enjoyable. You can also enjoy meals and entertainment before the show. The impersonators of Elvis and Michael were so dedicated to their roles that it didn't feel cheap at all. I recommend going at least once.

I enjoyed the meal and the show. 食事とショーを楽しみました。

Reviewed by: ama

The food was just average. Since it's a buffet, you can eat as much as you want. A person came around playing the ukulele at each table, but it seemed like they were looking for tips, so feel free to decline if you don't want to give one. Dining outdoors had its challenges due to the season and weather, and it was a bit cold. We got VIP seats for the show, but I think you can enjoy it from the regular seats as well. The impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson seemed to be of high quality.

食事の味はまぁ普通です。ビュッフェなので満足するまで食べられます。
各席を回ってウクレレを弾いてくれる方が回って来ましたがチップ狙いのようなので不要であれば断ってください。
野外での食事で季節、天候の問題もあり多少寒かったです。
ショーはVIP席をとりましたが、通常の席でも楽しめると思います。

Amazing performance with stunning dinner

Reviewed by: Gordon

This combo offers an immersive and entertaining experience that captures the spirit of Hawaiian culture. The evening begins with a warm welcome and traditional lei greeting, setting the tone for an authentic Hawaiian experience.

The dinner itself features a delicious buffet spread showcasing a variety of local dishes, including traditional Hawaiian favorites such as kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, and poi. The food is fresh, flavorful, and provides a wonderful introduction to Hawaiian cuisine.

The performance showcases the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii and other Pacific Islands, with vibrant costumes, energetic dances, and soulful music that transport audiences to another time and place. One of the highlights of the evening is the fire knife dance, a mesmerizing display of skill and daring that never fails to impress. Watching the performers twirl, spin, and juggle flaming knives against the backdrop of the night sky is truly awe-inspiring and adds an exhilarating finale to the show.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ>

[Beltra Staff Experience] A Hawaiian show overflowing with hospitality! 【ベルトラスタッフ体験談】ホスピタリティーに溢れたハワイアンショー!

Reviewed by: S.VELTRA

I had been curious about the "Waikiki Starlight Luau" for a while, and this time I enjoyed it luxuriously from the Diamond Premium seats.

The venue is located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, in a building adjacent to the Grand Waikikian. It's very close to the main entrance of the Hawaiian Village, so if you're feeling unsure, just head towards the entrance, and you should see the Starlight Luau sign nearby. I was a bit nervous about finding the venue since it was my first time attending, but there were plenty of signs, so I was able to arrive without getting lost.

The event was set to start at 4:45 PM, so I took my time, but by the time I arrived around 4:35 PM, there was already a long line! The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I recommend arriving a bit early if you're in the Golden Seats. With the Diamond Premium seats, you can enter before the Golden Seats and are guaranteed seats close to the stage, so you don't have to rush too much to secure a good spot.

The weather was beautifully sunny, typical of Hawaii! When the venue first opened, I could enjoy the pleasant blue sky, the Hilton buildings, and a view of Waikiki beach. Being able to enjoy the time from daylight to night is one of the unique pleasures of this luau.

Once inside, I received a lei greeting and took a commemorative photo, then headed to my seat with a Mai Tai in hand! All the seating is communal, so I chatted with guests from the mainland who were sitting nearby while enjoying the welcome music and hula dance on stage.

After a while, when all the guests in the Golden Seats had entered, the showmaster made the opening announcement. First, it was time for dinner, served buffet-style with music. Guests from the Diamond Premium seats lined up first to serve themselves. The quality of the food was exceptional. Everything, from the meat to the bread and salad, was delicious, and I found myself going back for seconds of the mini malasadas and roast beef. It's great to be able to get plenty of vegetables through the salad, especially since they can be lacking during a stay in Hawaii.

You can also order alcoholic drinks with drink tickets, but be prepared to show an ID. Many Japanese people often look younger than those from the mainland, so it's a good idea to keep a copy of your passport handy. Additionally, many staff members circulate around the tables, so if you need help, they are quick to assist. It was nice when they approached me with friendly questions like, "Are you having fun?" which made me feel at ease.

After finishing the meal and as dusk approached, the dance show began. In my session, six dancers performed various tropical dances. The beauty of the women's hula dance was breathtaking. The Tahitian dance, which is not something I usually see, was also powerful and very interesting. During the show, there was a scene celebrating an anniversary, and the atmosphere of everyone enjoying the luau was delightful. Many children from the mainland were participating, and it was adorable to see them dancing with their mothers!

The finale of the dance show featured a fire dance by strong male dancers! The atmosphere became intense as preparations began, and men with torches appeared on the dark stage. Having seen several fire dances in my line of work, I can say that the dancers at the Starlight Luau had impressive techniques! Their performances, including fire manipulation and combinations with each other, created a captivating show that kept my eyes glued to the stage. It was a fantastic performance that was fitting for the grand finale. I was applauding enthusiastically alongside the American guest next to me.

Another great point is the easy access from the center of Waikiki compared to other luaus. If you have time, it might be nice to stroll around the Hilton Waikiki Village before the show. There are plenty of shopping, dining, and café options within the Hilton Waikiki Village to enjoy for a while.

以前から気になっていた「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」。今回は贅沢にダイヤモンドプレミアシートで楽しませていただきました。

会場はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内、グランドワイキキアンに併設した建物です。ハワイアンビレッジのメインエントランスからすぐ近くですので、不安な方はひとまずハワイアンビレッジのエントランスに向かえば、近くにスターライトルアウの看板が見えるはずです。初めての参加で、会場探しからドキドキしましたが、看板の数も多いので迷うことなく会場まで到着することができました。

16:45から会場とのことでゆっくりしていましたが、私が到着した16:35頃には既に長い列が…!並んだ順に好きな席に座っていくスタイルなので、特にゴールデンシートでご参加の方は少し早めに到着しておくことがお勧めです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートの場合は、ゴールデンシートより先に入場ができる他、ステージ間近の席が確約されているので、急ぎすぎなくても良い席を確保できそうでした。

当日はハワイらしい快晴!開場したばかりの頃は気持ちの良い青空とヒルトンの建物群、ワイキキの海も見渡すことができました。明るい時間帯から夜までの時間を楽しめるのは、このルアウならではの醍醐味ですね。

会場に入ってレイグレイーティングと記念撮影をいただき、その後はマイタイを手に持って自席へ!全ての席が相席ですので、近くに座ったアメリカ本土からのお客さんとも会話をしながら、ステージでのウェルカム演奏やフラダンスを楽しみました。

しばらくたってゴールデンシートのお客様も全員が入場した頃から、いよいよショーマスターより開会のアナウンス。まずは音楽とともにお食事タイム、ビュッフェスタイルです。ダイヤモンドプレミアムシートのゲストから順番に並んで取り分けていきます。お食事のクオリティはさすがの一言。お肉もパンもサラダも全て美味しく、ついついミニマラサダやローストビーフをおかわりしてしまう程でした。ハワイ滞在中に不足しがちなお野菜もサラダでたっぷり摂れるのは嬉しいポイントですね。

食事に合わせドリンクチケットでアルコールも頼むことができますが、IDカードの提示を求められることも。。日本人は米国本土の方より若く見える人も多いので、パスポートのコピー等はすぐ出せる場所に持っていると安心です。
また、たくさんのスタッフがテーブルを回ってくれていますので、困ったことはすぐにサポートしてくれます。「楽しんでる?」という風に、向こうから親しげに話しかけてくれることも、気持ちが和らぎ、ありがたいとこでした。

一通りお食事が終わり、夕暮れも進んだころから、ダンスショーが開幕です。私の回では、男女合計6名のダンサーさんにて、様々な南国のダンスを披露してくださいました。特に女性のフラダンスは息を飲む美しさ。普段馴染の少ないタヒチアンダンスも迫力がありとても興味深かったです。
ショーの途中には、アニバーサリーを祝うシーンもあり、会場全体でルアウの時間を満喫している空気が心地よかったです。米国本土から参加しているゲストの子供たちも多く、お母さんたちと一緒にダンスを頑張っている姿は可愛かった~!

ダンスショーのフィナーレは屈強な男性ダンサー陣によるファイヤーダンス!!
直前からものものしい雰囲気で準備が始まり、暗いステージに松明を持った男性たちが登場します。仕事柄これまでもファイヤーダンスはいくつか見てきましたが、スターライトルアウのダンサーさんたちはテクニックが見事!火を舐めるようなパフォーマンス、ダンサー同士のコンビネーション技など、目を離せないショーが繰り広げられ、見入ってしまいました。
ショーの締めくくりにふさわしい素晴らしい演目です。私も隣の米国人と一緒に拍手喝さいでした。

他のルアウに比べて、ワイキキ中心地からアクセスが良いことも嬉しいポイントですね。
時間のある方は、ショーの前にヒルトンワイキキビレッジ内を散策してみるのも良いかもしれません。ショッピングやレストラン、カフェ巡りなどヒルトンワイキキビレッジだけでもしばらく楽しめる施設があります。

なお、全行程が英語で案内されていきますが、丁寧なスタッフたちが親身にサポートしてくれます。またダンスショー自体は言葉を超えたパフォーマンスですので、英語が苦手な方でも十分楽しめるはず!
(一部ショーマスターの話す冗談など、英語ネイティブでないと難しい内容もありましたが、ほとんど不自由は感じませんでした。)

ハワイの風を感じながら参加できること、ヒルトンさんならではのクオリティ、ホスピタリティにも溢れたショーケースでした。
スタッフの皆様、本当にありがとうございました!

花火鑑賞セーリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 <金曜日限定/アウトリガー・リーフ発>

Fireworks Cruise 花火クルーズ

Reviewed by: キエミサ

The fireworks viewing was wonderful, but it was disappointing that the catamaran was mostly docked and not cruising. It was also disappointing that the crew was mostly talking with acquaintances.

花火鑑賞は、素晴らしかったですが、
カタマラン船は、ほぼ停泊していて、クルーズではなくて残念でした、
乗組員も知り合いと話してばかりいて残念でした、

Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise & Party Boat with Live DJ - Ocean & You Hawaii

SO MUCH FUN! IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT, JUST BOOK!!

Reviewed by: Christie

I seriously cannot even get started on how much fun this was.
We booked this for part of our friends bachelor & bachelorette weekend in Waikiki and I'm so glad we did.
The location was easy enough to find and right away the staff was super friendly. We bought the $40 unlimited drink cups and WOW were we all drunk by the end. The DJ was awesome and played so much fun music, Tiana was amazing, she was so sweet to talk to and gave our friends a shout out which made the night feel even more special. All the drinks were delicious and well made.
The amount of people on board was pretty perfect, not so many people that it was over whelming but enough to still make it feel like a party! The only thing that would have made this better would be the option to stay on for a bit longer.
I would HIGHLY recommend doing this and if I ever find myself in Waikiki again I will be sure to book.
We went on Feb 28th 2024

花火鑑賞セーリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 <金曜日限定/アウトリガー・リーフ発>

This is the best event for those who want to enjoy fireworks while sailing and drinking. セーリングしながら花火を見て飲みたい方にはベストなイベント。

Reviewed by: Koba

We are meeting at 6:30, so I plan to enjoy the sunset before heading to the meeting point. After confirming the members who made the reservation, we will be guided to the yacht (sandals are the best choice). Once on board, the excitement builds. After a safety briefing, drinks will start. It seems you can drink as much as you want, so don't hold back. The atmosphere gets even more lively when the fireworks begin. There is no meal provided, so it's advisable to consider a restaurant for after disembarking.

18;30に集合との事で、その前にサンセット堪能してから集合地点に向かう。
予約したメンバー確認後は、ヨットまで引率してもらう。(サンダルがベスト)
乗船後はテンション上がる。セーフティ関連の説明後にドリンクスタート。ここは何杯でも飲めるようなので遠慮せずに飲むべし。花火が始まると一層盛り上がる。
食事はないので、下船後のレストランは事前に考慮すべし。

花火鑑賞セーリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 <金曜日限定/アウトリガー・リーフ発>

The fireworks and the night breeze made for a perfect evening! 花火も夜風も最高の夜でした!

Reviewed by: かなりん

There are many fireworks tours to choose from, and I was unsure, but it was the right choice! We gathered at the Outrigger, which was easy to find. There was a bit of wind, but the night sailing was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks, the full moon, and the night view of Hawaii. Thank you very much! ♪

花火ツアーはいくつもあって、悩みましたが、正解!です。アウトリガーに集合で、わかりやすく、ちょっと風はありましたが、夜のセーリング最高でした!花火に満月にハワイの夜景を満喫できました。ありがとうございました♪

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open-Bar

Great sunset cruise and crew !!

Reviewed by: Tango McHale

Highly recommend this evening out . The captain and his first mate are absolutely professional and also a lot of fun. We felt very looked after and safe on the adventure . The wind was pretty rough and the sea was the same but they did an excellent job ensuring our safety and comfort.

Cheers to the crew and the sunset experience.

Would recommend to anyone .
Thank you

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Dinner cruise ship

Reviewed by: -PAUL-

It was interesting to say, enjoyed the environment and the food. Was with my girlfriend and she loved it. Was at a table on the edge to the starboard side. What topped it all was doing it on the night of the fireworks! Would do again.
