What a great tour. The best bang for your buck for an hour and a half. Friendly staff, great Mai Tai’s, music, fun and awesome fireworks. Love that we board from them beach. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

I enjoyed the show for a long time.
The singing and dancing were great and it was fun.
Michael Jackson's impersonation was also good!

長い時間ショーが楽しめました。
歌もダンスも上手で楽しかったです。
マイケルジャクソンのモノマネも良かった〜

Great trip and the crew made it even better. Perfect trip for soaking up nature.

My family has been to Hawaii the past 5 summers in a row. We always make sure that this is part of our trip. It is so much fun and good for the ages of our kids who are teens. We absolutely love the warm night air while watching the fireworks and the amazing view! The hosts are ALWAYS great and of course the drinks are a bonus! Thank you as always and we will be booking again in the near future!

Hurray for our 6th year on this amazing sail. This firework cruise remains a travel must for our family and never disappoints! Fun and professional! Mahalo

It took a while for the usher to find our seat which seems to me that they didn't have assigned seats. I suggest getting assigned seats so this kind of incident will not happen again.

The actual shows were pretty short. It would be nice to extend it a little

The sunset from the sunset sailing was a bit cloudy, but it was nice. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also great. The service from the guide on board was excellent, and I think everyone had a fun and emotional time until the end.

サンセットセーリングからの夕日は少し雲がかかっていたけど良かったです。
海からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドと眺めも良かったです。
船上でのガイドさんの接客もよくて、みなさんが最後まで楽しく、感動的に
過ごせた時間だったと思います。

This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands. The canoe show was great!

I attended with my husband, his mother, and our two children, making a total of five of us. It was a wonderful show featuring hula, songs from Disney movies that the kids know, as well as music from Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, fire dancing, and more—something that the whole family could enjoy! They even took pictures with us, making it a very memorable experience. I definitely want to recommend it to everyone! ^ ^

主人の母、主人、子供2人と私の5人で参加しました。素晴らしいフラに加え、子供も知っているディズニー映画の歌や、マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、ファイヤーダンスなどなど、家族みんなが楽しめるショーでした！！
一緒に写真も撮ってくれたりと、とても思い出に残るものでした。
ぜひぜ皆さんにもおススメしたいです^ ^

I felt that the fireworks were a bit far away, but overall it was good. My feet were completely bare. Marine shoes were also not allowed.

花火が少し遠いと感じましたがおおむね良かったです。
足は完全素足です。マリンシューズも不可でした。

Well done. We loved the show and would do it again. We highly recommend this show.

There is guidance in Japanese from the pick-up onwards (including broken Japanese). They are punctual, and the buffet food is delicious. However, it may be a bit shaky on some days.

お迎えから全て日本語案内あり（カタコト含む）
時間に正確で、ビッフェのお料理もおいしいです
ただ、日によっては揺れるかもしれません

Since the trolley doesn't operate at the start time in the morning, we took a taxi from our hotel in Waikiki. We arrived in about 20 minutes. After checking in at the counter, a Japanese staff member named Miho gave us a 30-minute tour of the museum. From the garden plants to the history of Hawaii, it was a short time, but I learned a lot. Both the building and the garden were wonderful.

The hula lesson started at 10 AM. Since my daughter and I were the only students that day, it was a private lesson. We began with some basics, and the teacher's husband played the ipu heke, making it a luxurious lesson for beginners. The song was "Hale Maumau." I had done a little hula in Japan, but it might be a bit difficult for complete beginners. However, it felt like the lesson was tailored to the students. By the end of the one-hour lesson, we were able to dance one song, and we received a certificate at the end of the hula lesson. After that, we learned how to make a lei using ti leaves, which took about 30 minutes to complete. I wore the lei until the evening, and I received compliments while shopping.

After the program ended, we explored the museum, looking at things like the bird capes that Miho had shown us, and we returned by trolley.

Although it's a distance from Waikiki and there are no trolleys at the start time, I think it's a place worth visiting. If I have the chance, I would love to go again.

朝はトロリーがない時間にスタートなので、ワイキキのホテルからタクシーで行きました。
20分くらいで到着。
カウンターで受付後、日本人スタッフのミホさんが30分くらい博物館の案内をしてくれます。
庭の植物から、ハワイの歴史、短い時間でしたが、とても勉強になりました。
建物も庭も素晴らしいものでした。

10時からフラレッスン開始。
この日の生徒は私と娘だけだったので、プライベートレッスン。
始め少しベーシックをやり、先生のご主人がイプヘケを叩いてくれて、初心者向けには贅沢なレッスンでした。
曲はハレマウマウ。日本で少しフラをやっていたのですが、まったくの初心者だと少し難しいかもしれません。
でも生徒に合わせてもらえる感じでした。
一時間のレッスンで一曲踊れるようになり、最後に認定証を頂き、フラレッスンは終了。
そのあとティーリーフを使ってレイの作り方を教えてもらえるのですが、30分ほとで完成、その日は夕方までレイをかけていましたが、買い物先などで褒めてもらえました。

プログラム終了後は、ミホさんに教えて頂いた鳥のマントなど、館内を見て回り、帰りはトロリーで戻りました。

ワイキキからは距離があり、開始時間にトロリーがないので、タクシーなどで行かなければなりませんが、行く価値のある場所だと思います。
次の機会があれば、またぜひ行きたいです。

I thought it was over after watching the fireworks, but even after they ended, I was able to enjoy the peaceful sea out offshore. It was a lot of fun.

花火観賞で終わりとおもっていたが花火が終わった蹟も沖合いまで出て太平の海を満喫できました。楽しかったです。

The crew was great and the food was delicious. Advice for those who get sea sick: premediciate! The catamaran isn't huge, so riders definitely feel every wave. The evening we went the water was really rough and seasickness definitely puts a damper on an otherwise great experience.

Love the experience. Love the food. Will come back and visit again. We came with two small children’s 2 and 4. They love the show and the buffet. Love the boat ride and the theater show. Ac is very cold in the imax show. We took the boat ride and went the very back and visited all the villages back so it’s a one way trip to the buffet if the timing is right. And after the buffet we hang out by the market and listen to the live music.

I previously participated in a luau at Hilton on the Big Island, but this was my first time on Oahu. It was a luau on a rooftop surrounded by hotels, and the show was wonderful. If I understood a bit more English, I might have grasped the explanations better, but I still enjoyed the stage performance. After the show, the dancers were also happy to take photos, and it seemed like the kids had a great time. Above all, it really felt like I was in Hawaii.

以前はハワイ島でヒルトンのルアウに参加しましたが、今回はオアフでの初参加でした。
ホテルに囲まれた屋上でのルアウでしたが、ショーは素敵なものでした。
もう少し英語が分かれば、説明している内容も分かったのでしょうけど、それでもステージは楽しめました。
ショーが終われば、ダンサー達も気軽に写真にも応じてもらえますし、子供も楽しめていたようでした。何より、ハワイに来たな〜と感じられます。

I wasn't expecting much from the food or the show, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable and delicious! When Michael came out, it was the best! I didn't know they had shows like this in Hawaii. The hula dancing was also wonderful. It's definitely worth experiencing at least once!

食事もショーも期待していませんでしたが、これが結構楽しくて美味しかった‼︎
マイケルが出てきた時は最高‼︎
ハワイでこんなショーをやってるのを初めて知りました。
フラダンスも素敵でした。
一度は是非‼︎

We had such a fabulous night on this cruise. The fireworks were fabulous but more importantly the hosts were great, funny and made the experience even better. Loved going for a sail afterwards and the maitais were delicious. Thanks for an awesome night.

The view was absolutely beautiful. Upbeat background music was playing, and there was an all-you-can-drink option (including alcohol) along with some simple snacks. You can choose your seat in the order you lined up, but every seat offers a great view, and you can freely stand up or move around, so honestly, any seat is good. (For those who are afraid of seasickness, the back is the least bumpy.) If you're at the very front, you might get splashed by the waves! The sunset was stunning! Seeing the Waikiki beach hotels and Diamond Head from the ocean was also wonderful! The breeze felt nice! It was the best.

景色が非常に良かったです。
ノリノリなBGMが流され、飲物飲み放題（アルコールも有り）、簡単なスナック菓子付。並んだ順に席を選べますが、どの席でも景色は良いですし、好きに立ったり席移動も自由なので、どこの席でも正直良いと思います。（船酔いが怖い人は一番後ろが一番揺れません）一番前だと、波をかぶって濡れてたかも？
夕日がキレイ！ワイキキのビーチホテル群もダイヤモンドヘッドも沖から見るのもまた良い！風が気持ち良い！最高です。

We participated as a family of four and enjoyed wonderful sailing in great weather. We took in the stunning views of the hotels along Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the beautiful sunset sinking in the west. The captain and all the staff only spoke English, but they were very attentive with boarding, disembarking, and serving drinks. Also, the popular Mai Tai initially feels like juice, but be careful as the alcohol kicks in after a while.

家族4人で参加、天候に恵まれ素晴らしいセーリングを楽しみました。海からのワイキキビーチのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの絶景そして西に沈んでいく素晴らしい夕日を堪能しました。船長はじめスタッフは全員英語しかしゃべらないのですが、乗船下船や飲物サーブもしっかり対応してくれます。また、人気のマイタイは最初はジュースのように感じますが、そのうちアルコールが回ってきますのでご注意を。

Staff were amazing. Helpful and fun. Had an awesome sail and saw the sun set capturing the most amazing photos. It was relaxing and chilled. People were friendly and we all enjoyed the music as we watched the horizon. Thanks for a great experience

I had a great time starting with the Polynesian Show, followed by Presley and Michael! I would like to see it again when I travel to Hawaii!

ポリネスアンショーから始まり、プレスリー、マイケルととても楽しめました！
またハワイ旅行の時には、観たいと思っています！

We arrived at the scheduled time and greeted by our NASA ambassador, astronomer, Greg.
He was so enthusiastic and pointed so many amazing things to see in the night sky. My favorite was seeing Saturn! The GPS telescope was very impressive.
It was a beautiful location to learn about the stars, planets, and our solar galaxy as the sun went down over the horizon.
We will be back!

At first, I was worried about getting wet from the waves and the rocking of the boat, but it was fine. I held back a bit on the all-you-can-drink option since there were no restrooms, but the Mai Tai on board was delicious. There were no snack appetizers.

最初は波で濡れることやゆれる事を心配しましたが、大丈夫でした。飲み放題もトイレがないので少し抑え目にしていましたが、船上のマイタイはおいしかったです。おつまみスナックはありませんでした。

Entertaining evening enjoyed by whole family. Plus bonus swim in waterfall during the day. Hard to beat.

Mai Tai Katamaran is fully booked for reservations, so it's hard to get a spot once you're there. Moreover, I think this tour is very special because you can enjoy the fireworks. The departure time is after dinner, which gives you some leeway. First, we boarded the boat and toasted with Mai Tai. After that, we cruised and docked on the Hilton side. The boat stays in a position where you can see the fireworks from either side. If I had to say, the best position is the front right from the beach. At 8:00 PM, the fireworks started. For almost five minutes, you can enjoy the fireworks without anything obstructing your view. After the fireworks, we continued cruising along Waikiki Beach up to the Diamond Head area. It was a wonderful time. However, I noticed that other boats departing from Waikiki Beach had a higher ratio of foreigners, which created a more lively atmosphere, and I really liked that feeling of being abroad!

マイタイカタマランは、現地に行ってからではまず予約できません。予約でいっぱいなので。
しかも、今回は花火鑑賞ができるということで、とても貴重なツアーだと思います。出発時間も夕飯を食べてからの出発なので余裕もありました。まずは、船内に乗り込みマイタイで乾杯。その後クルーズを経てヒルトン側に停泊。船の左右からどちからでも見えるように、泊まってくれます。強いて言うなら浜から見て右手手前がベストポジション。20:00になり花火開始。5分弱の時間、遮るものもなく花火を満喫できます。花火鑑賞後はクルージング。ワイキキビーチに沿ってダイアモンドヘッド付近までいきます。素敵な時間でした。ただ、ワイキキビーチから出ているほかの船の方が外国人比率が高いので、さらに盛り上がり、海外に来ている！という雰囲気は好きかな〜

I participated in a family trip for both families that also served as a wedding ceremony. There were relatively few Japanese guests, which allowed me to enjoy the feeling of being abroad. The weather was nice, and the views of Waikiki from the ocean, as well as the sunset and night scenery, were very beautiful and enjoyable. The food wasn't particularly delicious. The variety of drinks wasn't extensive, but the prices were reasonable and not high. The main fireworks were farther away than I expected, which was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend attending just for the purpose of watching the fireworks.

It was a memorable experience.

結婚式を兼ねた両家の家族旅行で参加しました。
日本人客は比較的少なく、海外に来た感が楽しめました。
天気が良かったのでワイキキの街を沖から見た風景やサンセットや夜景はとても綺麗で楽しめました。
ご飯は美味しいわけではありませんでした。
ドリンクの種類はさほど多くありませんが、料金は高くなく、良心的でした。
メインの花火は思っていたより遠くて、残念でした。花火を見る目的で参加するならばオススメしません。

思い出にはなりました。

Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.
