Departing from Waikiki Beach at dusk.
Since it was Friday, we were able to enjoy the fireworks launched from the Sheraton Village from the sea.
I indulged in the luxurious experience of sipping a Mai Tai while taking in the night view of Waikiki.

夕暮れにワイキキの浜から出航。
ちょうど金曜日であったため、シェラトンビレッジの打ち上げる花火を海上から眺めることができました。
マイタイを飲みながらワイキキの夜景を眺めるというぜいたくな時間を満喫しました。

Since I requested a super ambassador, the staff will be with me the whole time to guide me. They are Japanese exchange students, so there won't be any language issues. I can also enjoy the bus ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center with a Japanese staff guide.

スーパーアンバサダーをお願いしたので、スタッフがつきっきりで案内してくれます。日本人の留学生の方なので、言葉に問題はありません。ポリネシア文化センターまで行くバスの中も日本人スタッフのガイドで楽しめます。

We celebrated a 25 th anniversary, and had a fantastic time. The crew was friendly and fun.

I have booked this trip months ago. I requested after 12noon pick up and it was 7am pick schedule for us. Then it was adjusted to 12.05 .When we arrive Honolulu, I had to check with my hotel about the pick up area. They were surprise why we had to travel all the way from Hilton Waiikiki beach to Hilton Village . I had to speak to you again and reschedule the pick up to Marriot and time changed from 12.05 to 12.30. We all anxiously waiting for the 1st adventure at honoluu and it turned out to be a complete disaster. The vehicle with Poynesian was suppose to pick only some Japanese tourist. We have been wasting from 12.10pm to 1.45pm doing nothing and making several stressful phone calls. It all says organisation and coordination was poor.

Unfortunately it was a compete disaster. Thank you for organizing the refund.
We had some other tours organised with other people and it all turned out very well.


Kind Regards

This is a wonderful dinner cruise! From the onset, the staff and crew catered to our every need. Our server, Kahleo (sp?) was a doll! We chose the tenderloin and all-you-can-eat crab meal and have to say, it was excellent! The tenderloin was cooked perfectly and the crab was hot and plentiful! Our window seat table was awesome. I'm amazed how the crew can serve so many people a hot, wonderful meal! Fantastic cruise up to Diamond Head ending with a beautiful fireworks display. A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ evening! Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a dinner cruise!

I participated in a night cruise where we could see the fireworks on Friday. The boat had minimal rocking, and the night view of Waikiki was amazing. With free drinks, we had unlimited Hawaiian cocktails, and it was quite lively. It's safe even for families with children, so I highly recommend it.

金曜の花火がみられるナイトクルーズに参加。船は揺れも少なく、ワイキキの夜景は最高。フリードリンクでハワイのカクテルも飲み放題で、かなり盛り上がりました。子ども連れでも危険はなくお薦めです。

I went with four colleagues from work. The Polynesian Cultural Center is quite far away.

We only had the buffet and show package, but once we got there, there were various activities, so it might be worth considering the full-day package to enjoy everything.

I honestly didn't have high expectations for the buffet, but it was surprisingly delicious, so I was very satisfied.

I spent about 80% of the show sleeping, so I won't comment on it. However, my colleagues watched it properly and said they were "moved." I secretly thought, "How can you be moved when you don't understand English!?"

会社の同僚4名で行ってきました。
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターまでが遠いです。

ビュッフェとショーだけのコースでしたが、現地着いたら色々あったので、1日コースで楽しむのもありかもしれません。

ビュッフェは正直あまり期待していなかったのですが、思いのほか美味しかったので大満足。

ショーは8割寝ていたので感想は割愛します。
でも、同僚はちゃんと観て、「感動した」って言ってましたが、英語わかんねーのに感動デイんのかよ！？ってツッコミいれたのは内緒です。

Great crew a very fun time for my wife and son and myself. Food was good desserts were good.
Hilight of the cruise was the sighting of a whale.
The M C was very friendly and our waiter Max could not have been more helpful.

It was the only event during this trip with few Japanese people. The fireworks were clearly visible, and it was lively and fun. Although it was an all-you-can-drink option, I felt like I might get seasick from drinking too much.

今回の旅で唯一日本人が少ないイベントでした。
花火もよく見え、ノリがよく楽しかったです。
飲み放題ですが、飲みすぎて船酔い誘発しそうでした。

We participated as a couple in our 60s, and I thought we would be stuck in a can from morning till night?! But time flew by, and I'm really glad we joined (*^^*) We were able to do some sightseeing and shopping too ★ I highly recommend this tour.

60代夫婦で参加しましたが、朝から晩まで缶詰状態⁈と思ってたが、時間もあっと言う間に過ぎて本当に参加してよかった(*^^*)観光も出来買い物も★このツアーはおすすめです。

We went with seven people, and we thoroughly enjoyed both the dinner and the show! The dinner is buffet-style, so it might be enough to just attend the show.

7人で行ったのですが、ディナーもショーも堪能出来充分でした！
ディナーはブッフェタイプなので、ショーだけでも充分かもしれないです。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset! Onboard, drinks were served, and there were tourists singing along to the background music (laughs), but the atmosphere was relaxed, making it easy to enjoy the cruise. Anyway, as long as the weather is good, I think it will be a wonderful memory.

お天気に恵まれ、素敵なサンセットを眺めることが出来ました！
船内ではドリンクが振る舞われ、BGMで合唱する観光客の方達もいましたが（笑）、リラックスした雰囲気でクルーズを楽しめます。とにかく、お天気が悪くなければ良い思い出になるかと思います。

Lots of drinks and laughs and a beautiful sunset cruise – shame one of the other passengers stole my flip flops when we went ashore!

Had a lots of fun and a good activity to see the sunset

The staff were all kind and welcomed us with smiles. The initial flash show and fire show had high-level dancers and were very good. They came down from the stage, sang, and showered guests with flowers and shook hands, providing great service. I spoke with a Michael look-alike during the final photo session, and he was a modest person with a personality similar to Michael's!? I had a one-year-old with me, but thanks to the child sleeping through the show, I was able to concentrate on the performance. I'm also happy that we could take photos at the end! There were many Michael fans and honeymooners. It was so much fun!!

スタッフの方も皆親切で、笑顔で歓迎されました。
最初のフラショー、ファイヤーショー、もダンサーのレベルが高くとてもよかったです。
ステージから降りてきて、歌いながらゲストにお花をかけてくれたり握手したり、サービスもよかったです。
マイケルのそっくりさん、最後の写真撮影でお話ししましたが控えめな方で性格もマイケル似！？
1歳の子連れでしたが子供はすべて寝てくれたおかげでショーに集中できました。
最後に写真撮影もできるのも嬉しいです♪
マイケルファンの方とハネムーンの方が多かったです。
とっても楽しかった！！

Great time, great views, and great crew. This was an amazing experience. The drinks were delicious.

If you go to Hawaii, you must take a sunset cruise. No matter how many times you go, it feels great and is moving! I definitely plan to go again next year. The all-you-can-drink Mai Tai is delicious too!

ハワイに行ったら必ずサンセットクルーズ。何度乗っても気持ちよく感動できます！また来年も絶対乗ろうと思います。飲み放題のマイタイも美味しいですよ

A real Aloha spirit was experience on this cruise. My family enjoyed it very much.
Food was good and the service was excellent!!!

I thought the fireworks at Hilton would be the main event (of course, the fireworks were wonderful), but the cruise continued for quite a while, and it felt really nice! (A hoodie is a must.) My parents started with beer, but they seemed to really enjoy the Mai Tai cocktail and were happily drinking! I'm glad we went.

The most impressive part was the deck of the boat illuminated by the moonlight, creating an indescribably mystical atmosphere. (I couldn't take good photos because it was dark, so I can't share that.)

I felt that both the daytime and sunset had their own charm. I would love to participate again next time.

ヒルトンの花火がメインと思っていましたが
(もちろん花火は素晴らしく)
真っ直ぐ、浜辺(乗った場所)に帰るのかなぁ～と思っていたら
結構な時間、クルーズが続いて
とっても気持ち良かったです！(パーカーは必須)
両親は、始めビールばかりでしたが
マイタイ(カクテル)が気に入ったらしく
ご機嫌に飲んでました！
行って良かったと思いました。

一番印象的だったのは、月明かりに船のデッキが照らされて
なんとも言葉ではいい表せないくらい、とても神秘的な雰囲気でした。
(写真は、暗くてうまく撮れなかったのでお伝えできませんが)

お昼間、サンセットそれぞれ良さがあると感じました。
次回も、また参加したいです。

Loved the cultural center and all its history. I felt like we could have gotten there earlier if our tk guide didn't share so many personal stories. We had many beautiful stops but he'd wait till we sat back in our seats to stand and share stories. I'd prefer to get on the road and spend more time at stop points or cultural center

The Sunset Cocktail Tour was fantastic. The tour guide and bartender are both friendly and helpful without being overbearing in any way. The drinks were delicious and you absolutely couldn't beat the view. The ship was very spacious and we had an awesome time. Totally worth the price!

This was the highlight of our vacation. Watching the sunset over the ocean and fireworks from the water was fun and romantic. The food was pretty good and very filling. We had great time. I would highly recommend this excursion.

I've been to Hawaii countless times, but just like how people living in Tokyo may never have climbed Tokyo Tower, I've passed by the Polynesian Cultural Center many times, thinking I could go anytime... and it's been decades. This time, I finally went to see the show! I was just so moved ❤! Even though I didn't understand the words, I was completely drawn into the show, and it was the best moment! On the way back, my bus was parked in a different location, and I panicked a bit with the tour group, but I definitely want to bring my parents next time!

Hawaiiには数えられない程行っているものの
東京に住んでいる人でも東京タワーに登った事がないのと同じく
ポリネシア文化センターの前は何度も通ってはいたものの、いつでも行けるな～と思いながらウン十年…
今回、初めてショーを見に行きました！
もぅ感動❤の一言！
言葉は解らなくてもどんどんショーの中に引きこまれ、最高のひと時でした！
帰りのバスが私のバスだけ離れた場所に駐車してあり、帰りはツアーの方と一緒に焦りましたが、次回は両親も連れて是非行きたいと思いました！

The sunset viewed from the sea was beautiful and moving. There was only one other couple besides our family, and everyone spoke English, but we had no trouble enjoying the cruise while sipping Mai Tais and soft drinks. As time went on, the Mai Tais kept flowing, and the atmosphere on the boat became very lively. In the second half, we split into groups on the right and left sides of the boat, and began a loud call-and-response of "Ho~♪ Fu~♪," creating quite a commotion.

It became a very memorable sunset cruise as we felt a sense of unity with the people we happened to be with.

When boarding and disembarking, the waves can come up to knee height, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Also, once you head out to sea, the wind can be strong, so having an extra layer to wear would be a good idea.

海から観るサンセットは美しく感動ものでした。日本人は私たち家族とカップルが一組のみ。英語オンリーでしたが、問題なくマイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらクルーズを楽しむことができました。
時間が経つにつれマイタイも進み、船内は非常に盛り上がり、後半は、船の右と左のグループに分かれて、「ホウ～♪フウ～♪」と大声の掛け合いが始まり大騒ぎ＾＾
たまたま乗り合わせた人たちと一体感を持てて、とても思い出深いサンセットクルーズになりました。

乗船と下船の際には、波がひざ上くらいに来ることがありますので、濡れても良い服装がいいです。また、沖へ出ると風が強いので、一枚羽織るものがあると良いと思います。

The activities, dancing, and MC were very good. The food, however was just average. I have been to several luau before all of which had a better food selection.

We had a lovely time on the cruise, staff was nice, and drinks were tasty

I go to Hawaii every year, but since it has been renewed after a long time, I participated in the tour.

The guide's explanations on the bus were easy to understand, and the staff in the newly renovated park were very kind. The ancient games were also refreshing. The meal options have improved, and I was satisfied with the cost performance. If there had been a little more free time, I would have liked to look for souvenirs...

毎年行くハワイですが、久しぶりにリニューアルされた事もあり、ツアー参加しました。

バスの車内のガイドさんの説明もわかりやすく、更に、リニューアルされた園内も担当の方が、
とても親切でした。
　古代のゲームも新鮮でした。
食事内容も良くなっていて、コストパフォーマンスも満足です。
もう少し、自由時間があれば、お土産も見たかったです・・・。

We decided to splurge a little on the sunset dinner cruise our last night in Waikiki. Great decision. I booked on Veltra and got a seniors' rate. The pick up and drop off was at no additional charge, and worked like clockwork. If you plan to enhance your ocean outing with lots of alcoholic drinks, it might be worth a bit extra to purchase the larger souvenir glass, which seemed pretty popular. A sweater or a jacket is a must, especially when the sun goes down. The staff were efficient and very friendly. Whales were spotted! Highly recommended activity.

Food wasn't that great and wished it was on a beach, but the dancers were outstanding!

Friendly crew, fireworks were great. If you buy the cup you get a discount rate for rinks for future use
