All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

You can set sail in the bright evening, watch the sunset, and then enjoy the sparkling night views of seaside hotels after the sun goes down. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

夕方の明るい時に出航しサンセットを見たのち、日が落ちた後のキラキラした海沿いのホテルなどの夜景を楽しめます。ハワイの素敵な思い出になりました。

The weather was nice, but unfortunately, clouds appeared just as the sun was setting on the horizon, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset, which was very disappointing. The captain of the boat and the two staff members who were also the bartender were friendly and fun, but they didn't speak Japanese. However, since we weren't having difficult conversations, it was enough to enjoy the scenery while drinking and having fun on the yacht. This time, there were more waves than expected, and when we headed out to sea, it felt like a roller coaster, but that was enjoyable too.

お天気は良かったのに、太陽が水平線に沈む頃に雲が出てきてせっかくのサンセットが見られずとても残念でした。
船のキャプテンとクルー兼バーテンダーの2人のスタッフはフレンドリーで楽しい方でしたが、日本語は通じませんでした。ですが難しい話をする訳ではないので、景色を見ながらお酒を飲んでヨットを楽しむには十分です。
今回は思いの外、波のうねりがあり沖に向かって行く時はジェットコースターのようでしたがそれもまた楽しめました。

It was better than we thought it would be. We loved it.. recommend it!!!

This trip was definitely above our expectations. First, I want to applaud the customer service of this Company. Our first tour was cancelled due to weather. They informed us promptly and immediately rescheduled us for an alternative date. When we arrived after the boat, there had been an error in some customers booking causing a delay in the boat's departure. Not only did they extend our time, but our drinks were compensated due to the delay. We were more than obliged to wait for the late arrivals :). The boat was not crowded, the service was fantastic, and the music was great. As promised, we enjoyed the beautiful boat and the fantastic views of the sunset, city and diamond head. Everything was literally as promised. We would definitely recommend to friends.

Purchased our VIP package from the outset it was a great night good food fantastic entertainment and a very lovely waitress all made it a very special evening. The costumes were amazing and singers and dancers excellent a true taste of Hawaii and its culture along with a lot of happy memories of different musical stars we have

Last time when I wanted to jump on a catamaran, it was fully booked, so this time I made a reservation in advance despite some concerns about the weather.

We departed from the bright beach and enjoyed the sunset on the water! On the way back, we experienced the beautiful night view of Honolulu.

It was truly wonderful since we can't see the sunset every day. The woman who prepared the drinks provided prompt service and even offered refills without us having to ask.

Indeed, Japanese was not spoken, but it was not a problem at all. There were no noisy people, and no one was standing on the net.

以前にカタマランに飛び込みで乗りたいと言った時は満席で断られたので今回は天気の不安もある中、事前予約しました。
まだ、明るいビーチを出発して、洋上でサンセット！帰る時にはホノルルの夜景と素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
毎日、サンセットを拝めるわけではないので本当によかったです。
飲み物を用意してくれた女性もテキパキとサービスしてくれてこちらから言わなくてもおかわりの催促をしてくれました。
確かに日本語は通じないけど、なんの問題もないです。
騒がしい方は全くいなくネットの上に乗る人もいませんでした。

I participated in the tour for my wife, who loves hula. The location was convenient, being close to the hotel and having a shopping mall nearby. Above all, the entertainment from the show was excellent.

フラ好きの女房の母親の為にツアーに参加しました。
場所がホテルから近くショッピングモールも有り便利でした。
何よりショーのエンターテイメントが最高でした。

My boyfriend and I got this to see the fireworks. It was amazing, drinks were good, vibe was great, service was perfect. Casual attire. Barefoot cruise. Any age would enjoy it. I would recommend this to everyone.

I was wondering if the food wouldn't be good because it's a buffet, but the quality is high! The whole roasted pig and roast beef are really delicious. The show was also amazing, and the venue was lively, it was the best!

ブュッフェだからご飯が美味しくないのかなーと思っていたら、質が高いです！豚の丸焼き、ローストビーフも本当に美味しい。ショーもすごく会場が盛り上がり最高でした！

There were about two groups of Japanese participants, and most were from Europe and America. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it rained shortly after departure, but just before sunset, the sun peeked out, and although it wasn't a complete double rainbow, we could see one over the ocean. Your feet will definitely get wet, but it might be good to expect that getting wet from the rain can happen. When I went, there weren't any waves splashing onto the boat. You can store your bags and shoes on the back of the chairs, so that's fine. If you want to enjoy it even more, joining in with the European and American vibe can make it quite fun. The staff also helped to liven things up, and the cheerful music playing was a nice touch.

日本人参加者は2組程度、ほとんどが欧米の方でした。あいにくの曇り空で、出発直後に雨が降りましたが、日没直前に太陽がのぞき、洋上に完全ではないですが、ダブルレインボーが見えました。足は確実濡れますが、こんな風に雨で濡れることもあるのは想定した方が良いかもしれないですね、波が船にかかるって濡れる事はわたしのときはなかったです。荷物や靴は椅子の背もたれに入れられるので大丈夫ですよ。より一層楽しむなら欧米人のノリにのっかると、結構楽しくなってきます。スタッフも盛り上げてくれるし、ご機嫌な音楽も流れているのが良かったせです。

First and most important to me was the kindness and concern for my safety. The guys were perfect gentleman and treated me like I was their family. The sail was breathtaking! They went above and beyond to give us an experience we will not forget. It was beautiful and my pictures actually came out great! Thank you for a special memory. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Don’t hesitate to book this trip it will not disappoint you.

Swaying with the boat, holding my third Mai Tai, the sunset with Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline in the background was amazing.

船の揺れに身をまかせ、3杯目のﾏｲﾀｲを片手に、ﾀﾞｲｱﾓﾝﾄﾞﾍｯﾄﾞとﾜｲｷｷのﾋﾞﾙ群をﾊﾞｯｸに見た夕日は最高、感度ものでした。

Previously, I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran to see the sunset sinking on the horizon. I was moved then, so this time I boarded to watch the Friday fireworks at Hilton. Since Hilton Village is my regular accommodation, I had been watching the Friday fireworks from the beach and poolside in front of Hilton Village, but seeing the fireworks from the sea was something special. I sat on the port side, but when we started moving, I realized we were facing the opposite side of the beach and thought I might have made a mistake. However, we stopped facing the fireworks venue, so I had a good view. If you sit close to the bow, prepared to get splashed by the waves, you can see the fireworks well. The crew only spoke English but were kind. Because of that, I ended up drinking quite a bit—Mai Tai, beer, and white wine—and then I needed to go to the restroom, which was a bit of a problem. Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was a window on the port side, and when I went to check it out, I found that it was the restroom.

以前、水平線に沈む夕日を見にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗船しました。その時も感動しましたので、今回はヒルトンの金曜花火を見るために乗船しました。ヒルトンビレッジが常宿なので金曜花火はヒルトンビレッジ前の浜辺やプールサイドから見ていましたが、海上から見る花火はまた格別でした。左舷の席に座りましたが、走り出すと浜辺と反対側と気づき失敗したかなと思いましたが、花火会場に舳先を向けて止まったのでよく見えました。波を被るのを覚悟で舳先近くに座れば花火がよく見えます。クルーは英語しか話せませんが親切でした。そのためマイタイ、ビール、白ワインと結構飲んでしまいトイレに行きたくなり困ってしまいました。よく見ると左舷に窓があり、そこに潜る人を見つけ、見に行くとそこがトイレでした。

Since it was a VIP course, we started in a lounge-like area with Mai Tais and self-service snacks (such as prosciutto with pineapple, fruit skewers with melon, macadamia nuts, and potato chips). After that, we moved to our dining seats and enjoyed a course meal. We had informed Veltra in advance that we were bringing our one-year-old daughter, so a seat for her was also prepared.

During the meal, our daughter was able to participate in a treasure hunt game, which made her happy as she could walk around the venue (sitting still for the entire meal would have been boring for a one-year-old).

After the meal, the show began. With the VIP course, we could watch the show from our dining seats (on the first floor) while continuing to enjoy our drinks. For the regular course, it seemed that guests finished their meals outside the venue before entering the second-floor seating.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by an Elvis Presley impersonation show, a Michael Jackson impersonation show, and finally, fire dancing and hula dancing. All of it was wonderful, and we had a great time. I'm not sure if the quality of the Michael impersonation was high, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Last year, we watched a hula dance show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was a more traditional show that showcased Hawaiian culture without any sexy costumes (and that was good in its own way). In contrast, this show was a complete entertainment show with sexy and beautiful hula costumes, and it also allowed for a lively rock atmosphere, making us feel like we were in America! While I didn't know many of the songs, I still had a lot of fun.

Since there is a rock segment, the time for hula dancing isn't very long, so if you want to focus solely on hula dancing, I would recommend other shows. However, if you want to enjoy both American-style music and hula dancing, this show is highly recommended. The location is also at the Royal Hawaiian Center, so for those staying in Waikiki, it's within walking distance, which is a great point for efficient use of time.

VIPコースでしたので、初めにラウンジのようなところでマイタイとセルフサービスのおつまみ（生ハムパイナップル、メロン等の果物串、マカデミアナッツ、ポテトチップス）をいただきました。
それから、各自食事の席まで移動し、コース料理をいただきました。
我が家は1歳の娘連れであることをベルトラさんを通して事前に伝えていたため、娘の席も用意していただいていました。
食事の間に娘は宝探しゲームに参加させていただき、会場を歩くことができて喜んでいました。（1歳の娘にとって食事中ずっとイスに座っているのは退屈なので）

食事が終わると、ショーが始まります。
VIPコースは食事の席（1階席）でそのまま観覧するため、引き続き飲み物を飲みながら見ました。
普通のコースだと、会場の外で食事を終えてから2階席に入場していたようです。

ショーはフラダンスから始まり、エルビスプレスリーの（ものまね）ショー、マイケルジャクソンの（ものまね）ショー、最後にファイヤーダンスとフラダンスという感じで進みました。
どれもとても素敵で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
マイケルのものまねのクオリティーが高かったのかどうかは謎ですが（笑）、楽しめたのでありだと思います。

昨年はポリネシア・カルチャーセンターのフラダンスショーを見ましたが、そちらは、セクシーな衣装などはなしでハワイの文化をしっかり見せる正統派なショーという感じでした。（それはそれでよかったです）
それに対してこちらは完全なエンターテイメントショーで、フラダンスの衣装もセクシーで素敵で、同時に、ロックで盛り上がることもでき、「アメリカにきたって気がする！（笑）」という気分を味わうことができました。
知っている曲は多くありませんでしたが、それでもとても楽しめました。

ロックの時間がある分、フラダンスの時間は長くありませんので、フラダンスだけをじっくり見たい方は他のショーをお勧めしますが、アメリカっぽい音楽もフラダンスも両方楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、ワイキキに宿泊している方は徒歩で行けますので、時間が効率的に使えるのも良い点ではないでしょうか。

I made a reservation for the last day in Hawaii on Friday. I was really looking forward to it, but… there was no information about when, what, or where things were happening. It seems there was live music, but in the end, I couldn't see or hear anything.

The dinner buffet guests were on the 1st and 2nd floors, while the appetizer guests were on the 3rd floor. After boarding, we were taken to the 1st floor, and seating was free, but there was no guidance on that either, so everyone was just wandering around aimlessly.

For some reason, it seemed that non-Japanese guests had arrived early and had already taken the window seats and were eating. I had also made a reservation for a children's chair since I was attending with a small child, but since there was no assigned table, they didn't bring it until I asked. The child was really looking forward to the hula dance, so it was truly disappointing.

In the end, I couldn't see it, but after watching the fireworks, I caught a glimpse of guests who seemed to be feeling good after drinking and were dancing with the dancers, which felt like the atmosphere of a bar or club. The fireworks and night view were beautiful, but it was really disappointing.

金曜日のHawaii最終日に予約しました
とても楽しみにしていたのですが…
いつ・なにを・どこでしているのかも案内すら無く
生演奏もしていたようですが結局見ることも聞くことも出来ませんでした
ディナービュッフェの客は1F2Fアペタイザーの客は3F
乗船後1Fに通され席も自由席でしたがその案内も無く、ただただみんなウロウロゴソゴソするばかり
何故か？日本人以外の客は早々に来ていたようで窓際の席に陣取りすでに食事をしている状態
小さな子供も連れての参加で事前に子供椅子の予約もしていましたが…
テーブルが決まっているわけでもないので言うまで持ってきてくれず
子供がフラダンス等とても楽しみにしていたのに本当に残念でした
結局は見れなかったのですが…最後花火を見終わりちらっと見た感じでは
飲んで気分が良くなったお客さんがダンサーと共に踊って楽しんでいる…
と言うその辺のバーやクラブのノリでした
花火や夜景は綺麗だったのに本当に残念でした。

We departed about an hour before sunset and quickly headed out to sea. With a drink included in the price, we enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. I would love to go again on my next trip.

夕日の落ちる約１時間前に出発し、あっという間に沖へ。料金に含まれているドリンク片手に美しいハワイのサンセットを楽しみました。また旅行の際は乗りたいです。

Not one single conplaint! Everyone that attended spoke so highly of the entertaining and hospitable host.

The sailing vessel was very impressive and incredibly well maintained and professionally operated. I am a sailing enthusiast and this catamaran was extremely smooth and well built to service a delightful dinner event. The crew was attentive, while also allowing the guests to enjoy their cruise and take in the beauty of Waikiki. The cruise had a personal ambience to it while accommodating the 25 to 30 guests that were on our specific sailing. We did not feel crowded at all, and it was nice to not feel like a “herd” of guests on those double decker party cruises. The food was tasty and filling. We did get to enjoy actually sailing on the main and the jib, and we only motored for a very short time. There is something magestic and almost spiritual about sailing on the sea. The cobalt blue water beneath, and the gentle trade winds so effortlessly powering the huge sails is an experience to treasure.

The only encouragement that I would make to the Makani experience is to provide some gentle Hawaiian music on top where the forward trampoline is. Most guests enjoyed staying forward on the trampoline, and the music only played below in the bar/covered seating area.

We chose to have the Makani pick us up from our hotel and the driver and vehicle were very professional. We recommend this option as it made the entire experience effortless. I would definitely do this activity again. It was worth the time and was a good value.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset due to the cloudy weather, but the night view and fireworks visible from the sea were great. The boat sways quite a bit, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be tough for you.

残念ながら曇りだったため綺麗なサンセットは見られませんでしたが、海から見える夜景と花火はよかったです。
船は結構揺れて長時間乗っているので酔いやすい方は辛いかもしれません。

It was a fun stage not just for dining and watching the show, but also featuring interactive events! There was a practice time for hula dancing, a contest where randomly selected guests were invited on stage to blow a conch shell (or something like that?), and opportunities to dance with the performers—there was so much going on. The hula dancers showcased various patterns of dance. The English MC was explaining things, but it was a bit fast and hard to understand... Still, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The fire dance was amazing!

The meal had a Hawaiian flair, and it was nice that it wasn't overly extravagant. The fish dish was the most delicious.

ただ食事をしてショーを見るだけでなく、参加型イベントもある楽しいステージでした！
フラダンスの練習タイムがあったり、お客さんの中からランダムにステージに上げられて、ホラ貝（のようなもの？）を吹くコンテストがあったり、ダンサーと一緒に踊ったり、盛りだくさんです。
フラダンスは様々なパターンのダンスを見せてくれます。
英語のMCで説明していたようですが、早口でよくわからず、、、
それでも十分楽しめました。
ファイヤーダンスは最高でしたね！

お食事はハワイらしい内容で、豪華すぎなくて良かったです。
お魚料理が一番美味しかったです。

This catamaran cruise this evening was an unforgettable experience! We have been coming to Oahu for over 15 years as a couple (this is our 25th wedding anniversary trip) and have never seen Honolulu and Waikiki from a boat tour before. The Makani was an excellent first-time experience: Well captained and crewed, this vessel holds people above and below deck. It has a head (bathroom) that is easily accessible before or during the voyage. The crew did a nice job with the meal and beverage service, were on top of all the ship and passenger details, and readily and easily answered our questions. We sat topside in the front on bean bag canvas seats by the webbing and thoroughly enjoyed the view of the boat, the water, and the sunset and coastline. It was fun to sail as far as Diamond Head and see the lighthouse, as well as Koko Crater. Also, the hotel pickup and dropoff was a nice experience. The suggestions on attire were right on track. We would someday like to try the Friday night fireworks cruise!

I watched from the second floor with a simple ticket without a meal. As expected from a professional. Both Michael and Presley had high quality performances. The show ended in the blink of an eye.

食事なしのシンプルなチケットで2階席で見ました。さすがプロですね。マイケルもプレスリーも、クオリティ高いです。あっという間にショーが終わっちゃいました。

This is my second time participating, having joined for the first time two years ago. I wanted my friend to experience it, so I participated on the last day of our stay, just like last time. We were able to see a sunset over the sea without clouds and a large rainbow over Ka'ena Point. It was my first time seeing such a big and vivid rainbow. After the sunset, there was a party on the boat. It was a lot of fun, and I'm sure it will be a memorable experience. I highly recommend it.

二年前に初めて参加して今回２回目です。
友人に体験させたくて前回と同様、滞在最終日に参加しました。雲のない海に沈むサンセットとカイマナヒラにかかる大きなレインボーがみられました。初めてみました。こんなに大きなくっきりとした虹。サンセットのあとは船上パーティー。これは楽しいです。きっと思い出に残ると思います。おすすめです。

Rock and hula. I couldn't imagine what kind of show it would be as I checked in. I was guided to a tent next to the reception where they offered a welcome drink, and I was asked if I wanted a Mai Tai cocktail or a non-alcoholic version. During and before the meal, dancers from the main show entertained us with singing and dancing. The food was delicious, and the whole roasted pig was exquisite. You can order drink refills from your seat and pay on the spot. The show itself was of high quality, allowing you to enjoy hula, rock, Polynesian, and pop music. I think it's a show you definitely should see.

ロックとフラ。どんなショーになるのか想像もつかないまま受付。
受付横のテントに案内されてウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはカクテルとノンアルコールを聞いてくれる。食事の前や食事中も、本編に出演しているダンサーが歌や躍りで盛り上げてくれる。食事も美味しく、豚の丸焼きは絶品でした。ドリンクのおかわりは座席で注文し、その場で支払いです。
ショーも完成度が高く、フラ、ロック、ポリネシアン、ポップスすべて堪能できます。是非見てほしいショーだと思います。

My husband and I had so much fun on the catamaran...the view we had at sunset was absolutely amazing! The crew was friendly and very welcoming.

What a great night to finish off our trip to Waikiki, the show was very entertaining showcasing various cultures from the South Pacific and the food was great, a good mix of traditional and exotic, compere for the evening was excellent.

Loved it. Luau Buffett Dinner excellent. Cast members made it so much fun. Cocktails spot on.
Really enjoyed the Show - will be recommending to my friends

I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some anti-nausea medication, but I still ended up feeling sick because of the strong winds. We set sail to coincide with the sunset, but unfortunately, clouds covered the sky at sunset, and we could barely see the sun. I understand that activities like this are affected by the weather, so I know it's difficult, but it was a bit disappointing.

車酔いなどしやすいので酔い止めは飲んでいきましたが、風が強かったのもあり酔ってしまいました。
また、サンセットの時間に合わせて出航したものの、サンセットの時間には雲がかかり太陽がほぼ見えない状態でした。天候に左右されるアクティビティのため難しいとは思いますが、少し残念でした。

The yachts floating offshore in the sunset were very impressive, like a painting.

The photo taken before boarding became a nice keepsake.

The boarding area was easily accessible and comfortable.

夕日に浮かぶ沖合いのヨットが
絵画のようでとても印象的でした

乗る前に撮ってくれた写真も記念に

乗り場もアクセスしやすく
快適でした

I was worried about the weather and whether the fireworks would be launched, but they started as scheduled at 8 PM, and I was able to enjoy the fireworks from the boat. After that, we cruised near Diamond Head, and the night view of Waikiki was beautiful.

花火が打ち上げられるか天候が心配でしたが、予定通り8時から打ち上げられ、船上から花火を堪能できました。その後、ダイヤモンドヘッド近辺までクルーズして、ワイキキの夜景がきれいでした。
