Reviewed by: jiji

You can watch the fireworks right next to the boat at Waikiki Beach. The food and show were also great. It seems to get fully booked quickly due to its popularity.

ワイキキビーチの花火があがる船のすぐそばで花火が観れます。食事、ショーも良かったです。
人気ですぐ満員になったようです。

クリスマス期間限定!ホノルル・シティ・ライツ 2階建てバストロリーツアー  ワイキキ送迎付きプランあり<2025年11月30日~12月30日>

Christmas クリスマス

Reviewed by: 元ちゃん

The reception was right on time, and while we were waiting, we got to take a photo with Santa.
There were a lot of people, and our departure was delayed by 15 minutes!
We rode on the upper deck of a double-decker bus, having a great time,
enjoying the pleasant breeze while watching the amazing illuminations, and there was even a pumpkin carriage, which felt very foreign and exciting.
The inside of the city hall was beautiful with many trees on display.
However, I wasn't sure where to find the bus for the return trip, so I just lined up where there seemed to be people, and it showed up.
It was the best experience of Christmas in Hawaii.
Mahalo~~

受付は、きっちり時間通りで、待ってる間にサンタさんと写真撮らせていただきました。
人数が多く出発時間が15分遅れてました!
二階建てバスの二階に乗り、盛り上がって、
心地よい風が吹く中、最高のイルミネーションを観て、カボチャの馬車もいて、外国って感じで、
興奮しました。
市役所の中も沢山のツリーを観て綺麗でした。
ただ帰りのバスの場所がわからず何となく人のあいる方で並んでいたら来ました。
ハワイのクリスマスの体験ができて最高でした。
マハロ〜〜

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>

The reviews were good, but... クチコミは良かったけど…

Reviewed by: あきサンタ

I reserved a front-row seat. The host only spoke in English, so I couldn't understand anything they were saying... but I knew this in advance and could get the vibe, so I accepted that. The problem was the food.

After the drinks were served, the appetizer? It was served in a bento box-like container, and it was bad. Then we were served a plate with a mix of chicken, beef, and pork. Not many people around me finished their meals. We paid nearly 100,000 yen for this meal. What a letdown. The show itself was only good during the last 15 minutes. I was glued to the fire dance, but before that, it was a bit dull.

I booked this hoping my kids, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, would feel the essence of Hawaii, but I'm not sure if it was worth the hefty price.

前列席確約を予約。司会は英語オンリーだったから全く何を話してるか分からない…でもこれは前もって知っていたし雰囲気で分かるから良しとしても…問題は食事。
ドリンクがでたあと前菜?弁当箱みたいなので提供されますが、これが不味い。そのあとに提供されるのが鶏肉&牛肉&豚肉?の3種盛みたいなプレート。回りの人も完食してる人はあまりいなかった。3人で10万近く支払ってこの食事かぁ。がっくり。ショー自体は最後の15分間だけ良かった。ファイヤーダンスは釘付けで見てましたが、それまでは少々眠たくなるくらい。

ハワイ旅行がはじめての子供達にハワイを感じてほしくて予約したけど大金はらってまで行く価値があるかは微妙。

A great show in a beautiful setting.

Reviewed by: Kate

A great experience for the whole family. The show had a variety of dances and songs; and the performers were great. Also, being right on the beach with the sunsetting over the water and the lights of the cityscape in the night sky, it made for some beautiful pictures. We would definitely do it again.

シュノーケリングクルーズ イルカやウミガメに出会えるチャンスも!?選べる8時/12時出港プラン<ハワイアンプレートランチ&アルコール4杯付き/ワイキキ送迎あり>

Am I the only Japanese person? 日本人は私が一人だけ?

Reviewed by: Markun

In Honolulu, where the COVID-19 situation is improving, I felt there were still few Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, I participated alone this time. We moved towards Ko Olina and boarded a lovely boat from the harbor. Without any rocking, we encountered a pod of dolphins after about 20 minutes. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot and had an encounter with a sea turtle. After returning to the boat, I enjoyed some drinks and lunch, even though I was alone. A few people, including the captain, spoke Japanese, which was considerate for me as a solo traveler. Since there are few Japanese tourists, it might be understandable, but I think the fast-paced English explanations would be quite challenging without strong language skills. If possible, I would have appreciated it if printed translations of the explanations in Japanese were provided. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.

コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。

Reviewed by: Moon Man

Crew, entertainment & cruise were superb! Food was good- crab was really good, steak good, but chicken dry. Could use more veggies.
Black coffee was very as was mai tai!

Only disappointment was the fireworks cancellation. Paying extra for 4th of July fireworks and not getting was a disappointing especially since the cruise doesn’t operate the fireworks.

Definitely recommend purchasing!

Just did the Snorkel and Sunset dinner cruise. I would definitely do this again. The. Staff was absolutely awesome and very very patient. I sometime feel very constrained with all the rules but the staff did a very good job explaining why they have to do what they do to keep all of us safe and still have the best time. The music was great, the food was wonderful. And everybody on the boat seemed to have a good time. Oh and the sunset on the water was epic. I highly recommend this to all!

Beautiful Waikiki Luau

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

Loved experiencing this right in Waikiki! The location at the Royal Hawaiian hotel was really convenient (no long bus rides) and the food was 10 out of 10. It started to rain a bit during the show and within minutes, the servers brought out towels to everyone so we could stay dry and catch the last bit of the show. Service was fantastic. Would recommend the extra to get the Premium seating closer to the stage.

Best Christmas lights tour & Birthday fun!

Reviewed by: Breeana

My birthday was on December 19th and booked 8 tickets including 2 kids under 10. Before the ride they had the grinch and Santa’s elves passing out candy and provided picture taking with Santa, the grinch and elves which the kids loved. Because of covid there weren’t many lights on the buildings but our driver was awesome and sang a bunch of Christmas carols with us the whole ride. Then when we stopped at the honolulu hale the driver came up to the top of the bus and had the whole bus singing happy birthday to me.. Best surprise birthday ever and everyone in my family had a great time and will definitely book again. Mahalo to the driver!

Star of Honolulu New Year's Eve Fireworks Cruise - Dinner & Cocktail Packages

Star of Honolulu New Year’s Eve Cruise

Reviewed by: Virgibell

A great location to view the Waikiki fireworks at midnight to ring in the New Year. However, do not attempt if you get sea sick easily, no matter how many Dramamine you take! 3/4 of the guests got sea sick last night. Rough waters = sea sick.
The food and dessert was great. We had a nice size steak, and a nice lobster. Dessert was good too.
The hula show was nice. There was a nice singer and a sax player too.
The lady who played the ukulele was nice, but could have played more. There were times w no music at all.
I recommend this, but not with bad weather. We took a chance because we booked this trip for New Year’s Eve, but will not do it again if rough waters are out n about.

Honolulu Winter Wonderland & Christmas City Lights Double-Decker Bus Tour from Aloha Tower

Christmas City Lights Trolley Tour

Reviewed by: Kotak Loeak

The trolley tour made our winter feel the vibe of Christmas that was missing since Covid hit. It delivered us through a ride that brought the holiday spirits back! Our son enjoyed the ride very much and we enjoyed watching him having fun during the tour. We usually just visit city lights by using our own transportation but this tour is a big plus to add on to your city lights tour. While riding the trolley, you will get to listen to Christmas songs that will bring back memories of previous winter seasons that will never get old. Big thanks to Santa and his helpers for the great hospitality. Mahalo to the crew and Merry Christmas from my ohana and I.

Great crew, awful photographer

Reviewed by: Cece

The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.
