All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

We went on a Friday for the fireworks. Everything from the food entertainment show and service was over and beyond. Would highly recommend! The sunset was absolutely beautiful.

We were enjoying a lively cruise with the captain's MC and the people around us, but as the sun began to set, the atmosphere turned quietly romantic.

As the sun sank lower, we thought we saw a large airship rising in the east, but it turned out to be a giant full moon. At that moment, a couple appeared to propose with a ring, and the excitement on the ship reached a peak.

In the end, the evening was capped off with a small fireworks display, reminiscent of bidding farewell to summer.

船長のMCのもと周りの人達とワイワイ言いながらクルージングを楽しんでいましたが、やがて日が暮れてくるとしんみりロマンチックな雰囲気に。

さらに、日が沈んでいくにつれ、東に大きな飛行船が上がってきた？と思ったら、それは巨大な満月でした。
そこで、指輪を差し出して結婚を申し込みするカップルも現れ、船内は大盛り上り。

最後は、ゆく夏を惜しむがごとき小さめの花火で締め括られました。

It was so much fun and the captain and crew were amazing, definitely made the cruise a lot more fun! The sunset was beautiful and romantic since I went with my husband on our honeymoon.

This sunset sail is outside of Waikiki. We loved the 2-hour cruise and opted for the open-bar option. The catamaran was pretty spacious and is a docked catamaran (walk right from the pier to the boat) instead of a beach catamaran like many of the Waikiki ones. The crew was really friendly. Would recommend getting the souvenir cup! It comes with a lid so you don't spill your drink when it gets a little windy and makes a fun souvenir.

Yes, it's early. But, we LOVED the early sail. Less boats on the water and calmer ocean conditions. If you're looking for a unique cultural experience, this is it. We did the morning cruise and were the only 2 guests on the boat which was really cool. The boat limits capacity to 6-guests. As a local resident, I really liked how the two main hosts of the cultural experience and the Captain were Kamehameha graduates. This boat also offers midday cruises and sunset. Overall, the morning sail was calm and one of the truly unique sails here on Oahu.

Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.

And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.

I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.

If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.

Overall, great cruise! So much fun!

We really enjoyed the sunset catamaran cruise - amazing views of the water & Waikiki coastline with enough Mai Tais & Coronas to go around for everyone. Some bumpy moments so I would not recommend if you are prone to seasickness. Overall we had a really amazing time and I would definitely do it again!

Even though it rained during our cruise we still had a great time because of the crew memebrs! Affordable great drinks (1 was free) and good music! Definitely recommend booking through them and will do it again when we come back to Hawaii! Shout out to Sarah for giving her rain jacket to the lady next to me so she wouldn't get wet!

I read the reviews and trusted everyone's comments about how great it was, so I signed up. It was amazing! Since I was staying at the Sheraton, it only took 5 minutes to get to the boarding area from my room. We had to wait quite a while until departure, but it was fine even if we were cutting it close. We sped out into the ocean, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. After 6 o'clock, the sunset turned the sky red, and it was stunning.

口コミを読んで、皆さんの最高という感想を信じて、申込ました。最高でした！
シェラトンに泊まっていたので、部屋から5分で乗り場まで行けます。出航までかなり待ちました。ギリギリでも大丈夫です。風をきって、かなり沖まで走ります。海から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドはとてもキレイです。6時過ぎからサンセットで空が赤くなりキレイです。

Seeing Waikiki and the fireworks from the sea was an overwhelming experience that exceeded my expectations. It's definitely an optional tour you should participate in.

海上から見るワイキキ&花火は想像を　
超える感動したでした。絶対参加の
オプショナルツアーです。

Typically, the seats of other people are right next to you, and since everyone is not wearing masks, if you are concerned about COVID, the restrictions in Japan are completely different, so at the very least, wearing a mask is necessary.
I attended alone, but considering my seating, I was allowed to sit in a special reserve seat and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The colors of the sunset were indescribable, a pink hue that is rarely seen in Japan, and it dyed the sea that color as well.
Since we set sail while it was still bright, the view of the buildings in Waikiki and the mountains behind them from the ocean was fantastic, and especially the night view after it got dark was amazing.
The cruise lasts for two hours until the fireworks start, so you can really enjoy it.

通常であれば他の人の席はすぐ横で、皆さん、マスク等もしていないので、コロナを気にされるなら、日本での制限状況とは全く違うので、最低限マスクは必要です。
一人での参加だったのですが、席を考えていただき、特別の予備席に座らせていただき満喫できました。
夕焼けの色はなんとも言えない日本ではなかなか見れないピンク色で海までそのピ色に染まってました。
明るいうちから出港するので、沖から眺めるワイキキの建物と後ろの山々の景色は最高で、とりわけ暗くなってからの夜景も最高です。
クルーズの時間が花火が上がるまでの2時間あるので、かなり満喫できます。

My partner and I did this cruise while in Waikiki..the staff were all very experienced and friendly..great vibe on board and of course open bar with good choice of drinks! Perfect place to see fireworks from on the water. Group size was good..boat not too crowded and was reasonably priced for Hawaii. Highly recommend!

Go on a Friday to catch the Friday night fireworks sponsored by Hilton Hawaiian Village. Usually after dinner is done, and while the performers entertain, guests usually hangout by the side rail outside the dining area, or at the top deck to get good seating/viewing spots until the fireworks. Otherwise, food was mediocre good (we had the crab, steak, and mashed potatoes deal) and complimentary Mai Tai was too sweet with little to no alcohol. Dessert was brought out while guests were in the deck plates. It was between the boat cruise or a luau....we should've tried the luau.

Loved the show, food was ok but I was disappointed they didn't have steamed white rice.

This tour was really fun! I've been to Oahu multiple times but my fiance hasn't. So we decided to try some fun new stuff out. I've never done a sunset tour. Our group on the boat was fun and slightly reserved, which is fine by me! The crew was great! It's only 2 guys but they make it fun with passing out drinks and starting up convos. I get sea sick and forgot to take my motion meds before we took off from the beach. Going out the water was exceptionally choppy and the waves were big the further out you got. I had to stand up and by the railing to make sure if I had to vomit it wouldn't go on me or anyone else. The meds finally kicked in on the way back and the water also smoothed out coming back in so I was perfectly fine to start talking to people and getting my moneys worth of drinks in me. This cruise is for everyone! There was one young girl (underage) who stayed up in front of the boat on the netting and got soaked and enjoyed every min of it. There was two older ladies (I mean like 75-85 years in age who needed more assistance getting on the boat and off and around the boat at times and the two guys who run the boat were perfect gentlemen helping them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Also the music was good! I'd recommend this to everyone and anyone wanting to enjoy a sunset cruise!

We had such an extraordinary experience in the Polynesian Culture Center. We enjoyed the live performances, learned the history and culture of various polynesian groups, and enjoyed the food! Had a wonderful day!

We did a LOT of activities while we were on Oahu, but this was our favorite! The crew was SO MUCH FUN! they came around making sure everyone had drinks! My teenagers and 8 year old were with me too and they said this was their favorite as well! The crew was everything! HIGHLY recommend!

Getting to the boarding area takes some time, and even though drinks are included once you're on board, you can't really enjoy them on the deck. There wasn't much to see on the way to the fireworks location, and it would have been nice if there was a bit more fun along the way.

船乗り場までまず時間がかかり乗ってからのみものつきといえど甲板らへんにいるととりにはいけない。花火の場所までは何もなくもう少し楽しさがあるとよかった。

Me and my girlfriend went to the star of Honolulu cruise dinner the last night on the island where everything changed, Captain Stephens can’t thank you enough for the honor of having him help me out with the proposal on the back of the ship on the top deck record our precious moments of now being engaged to the love of my life! Great food and great service all around amazing place, will definitely come join the crew again!

The Luau show is Stupendous especially on stage. All daces are wonderful. Not too long and short enough to go with the story of the past.

-All show - perfect!
- Food - just ok

Overall, relaxing atmosphere and very much enjoyable.

I was surprised by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. They really looked alike. The hula dance and fire performance were impressive, and I enjoyed a genuine American show.
The food was not great. The meat was tough, and the seats were cramped. I had trouble communicating with the staff in Japanese, but a person at a nearby table helped me.

エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンにびっくり。本当に良く似ていました。フラダンスも火のパフォーマンスも見応えがあり、アメリカ本場のショーを観賞しました。
食事はイマイチ。肉が硬かったし席も狭く、スタッフに日本語が通じず、苦労しました。近くの席の人が助けてくれました。

Fun, lots of laughter, romantic, entertaining, and worth every royal dollar. The best Luau in the entire island. I recommended to go their your first night

Totally enjoy the whole cruise! From the atmosphere, food, service and total entertainment was so enjoyable. My friends and I had a great time!

It's a must try when in Hawaii, we're so happy we they got a jolly crew that's made our "Catamaran experience" so FUN and EXCITING. I would recommend it doing when in Hawaii, made my Waikiki experience more memorable and unforgettable...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Awesome experience. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. The sights, the sounds, and the crew were all Top Notch. Loved it. Great way to cap our Anniversary. Beautiful.

Super fun experience. The boat and crew were friendly and their pina coladas were EXCELLENT.

The only thing that kept this from being an outstanding experience was that as a solo participant, I was a little left out. Drink orders went out and someone finally noticed I didn’t have one and took care of it. Then, towards the end, another staff member went around asking everyone if they wanted their photos taken and I wasn’t included. At the end of the day, it’s no biggie and I don’t think it was intentional but just wanted to mention it for consideration. I think it’s just one of those things that happen to solo travelers here and there.

Otherwise, loved it!

Staff was very friendly! Nice relaxing cruise with an amazing firework show and beautiful pictures!

The crew did a great job of getting us boarded and out to sea and back. Would do it again.

The canoe ride was so fun!!! The luau did not have alcoholic bevs tho :(
