All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

The meal was delicious, but there was a delay in service as our dishes arrived only when the table next to us was finishing their meal. The show was entertaining and enjoyable. I wish Presley could have come to the seats in the back as well, not just the front row.

食事は美味しかったですが、隣の席が食べ終わる頃にやっとこちらの料理が来るというサービスの手際の悪さがありました。
ショーは面白くて楽しめました。前列だけじゃ無くて後ろの席にもプレスリーが来てくれたら良かったのになと思いました。

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice sunset dinner cruise the other night in the Makani catamaran. The night started off with a friendly driver picking us up at our hotel and bringing us to the boat. The only criticism of the whole night (very minor) is that we arrived at the boat around 4:40 but we're not able to "Check in" until 5 even though the girl was sitting in the booth waiting until 5. So rather than checking in as people arrived we now had an awkward line waiting to check in. Then we waited another 15-20 minutes to board the boat. Like I said, minor but the timing could have been better. Once aboard, the crew was great and got us quickly out of the harbor to enjoy the amazing views of the city and mountains. The food was as expected, a decent buffet. The drinks were good and reasonably priced.
What you are paying for is the views and that sunset! That was worth every penny on our trip. The catamaran boat let you enjoy the experience a lot more as you are free to move around and sit on the front netting.

We've been to Waikiki many times and have done a few catamaran tours. This tour was by far the best! Very personalized, highly recommend the drink shaker and VIP boarding. Captain Rich and his crew Michelle are amazing, Will definitely do this tour again. Highly recommend this tour.

The sunset from off Diamond Head was absolutely beautiful. On the dinner cruise, I was fortunate enough to win a commemorative lobster, but the view of the Hawaiian sunset while cruising was simply elegant.

ダイヤモンドヘッド沖からのサンセットは最高に美しかった。ディナークルーズでは記念のロブスターが当たると言う幸運にも恵まれましたが、とにかくハワイの夕日をクルーズしながら見る景色は優美です。

About 90% of the participants were foreigners. The special drink is recommended as it doesn't make you drunk. If you are prone to seasickness, please take motion sickness medication before joining. Japanese is hardly understood, but it’s an enjoyable tour. If the timing is off when getting on and off the boat, you can get quite wet. Please board quickly while watching the wake. As mentioned by everyone, there is quite a wait. Even if the meeting time is 5 PM, the departure is around 5:45 to 6 PM. Bring minimal luggage. Towels are unnecessary. A waterproof camera is recommended. During this Obon season, a windbreaker is not needed. The voucher stating "comfortable shoes" is incorrect; wearing beach sandals is best. If you go on a Friday, you might enjoy the fireworks after sunset. You can view Waikiki from the sea, which is very nice. You can also see the layers of Diamond Head. If it's during the day, I recommend the snorkeling option.

9割くらいが外国人でした。スペシャルドリンクは酔わなくておススメです。船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでから参加して下さい。日本語はほぼ通じません。でも楽しめるツアーです。乗り降りの際にタイミングが悪いとかなり濡れてしまいます。引き波を見ながら、さっと乗船して下さい。皆様記載されていますが、かなり待たされます。集合時間が17時でも出航は17時45分～18時くらいです。荷物は少なく。タオルは不要。カメラは防水をお勧め。このお盆の季節ならウインドブレーカーは不要。歩きやすい靴というバウチャーは間違っています。ビーチサンダルで参加がベスト。金曜日ならサンセット後の花火を鑑賞できる時間帯も良いかも。ワイキキを海から眺められるので、とても良いです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの地層も見えます。昼間ならばシュノーケリング付がお勧めです。

Loved the view we had as the captain brought us closer to Diamondhead! Got to see honus and had tons of fun! Definitely recommend! :)

We do this every time we come back! Great crew, great drinks and the sunset is always amazing

Many people are already lined up before the meeting time, so if you have some flexibility, why not arrive a little early?! This is because those who get the welcome drink early and can freely enjoy the stick snacks while waiting at the front have a higher chance of being seated at the dining area sooner and getting a spot in the front row! The food, including lobster and steak, is all delicious. The show was truly amazing. It's definitely worth paying a bit more to see. With performances featuring Elvis, Michael, Katy Perry, hula dancing, and fire dancing, this is the essence of America! It felt like a true Las Vegas entertainment show from start to finish, and everything was great. It was almost like watching a Disney musical! The cost performance is excellent. I absolutely recommend the first-floor seats that are closer to the stage with meals included!

集合時間前にかなりの人が並んでますので、余裕のある方は少し早目に行ってはどうでしょうか？！
何故なら早くウエルカムドリンクを貰いスティックツマミを自由に食べて前方で待機していた方が、食事席に早く案内して貰いより最前列になる確率が高いです！
食事はロブスター、ステーキほか全て美味しいです。
ショーは本当に最高でした。
少し高いお金払ってでも観る価値は十分あります。プレスリー、マイケル、ケイティ・ペリー、フラダンス他、ファイヤーダンス。これぞアメリカン‼️ 本場ラスベガスエンターティナーショーって感じで‼︎最初から最後まで全て良かったです。
ディズニーのミュージカルを観ているようでもありました！
コストパフォーマンス最高です。
絶対に食事付きのステージにより近い1階席をお薦めします！

Every time I come to Waikiki, I've thought about going on a sunset cruise on a yacht, but since my wife gets seasick, we only had the option of larger cruise ships that don't sway much. However, this time I decided to go for it and made a reservation.

The yacht was larger than those docked in Waikiki and hardly swayed at all. However, because of the sea breeze, a hat might feel tight. Being close to the water allows you to truly experience the beauty of Waikiki's sea. The bow of the yacht has a net, making it even closer to the water and more enjoyable. There are also light snacks available in a buffet style, and they suited the Japanese palate well.

I noticed that most of the guests were American, with only a few Japanese, along with some Korean couples and Chinese families. The four staff members were also American, and since all the explanations were in English, there were some things we didn't understand due to our limited English skills, but it wasn't a major issue. If we could speak English, we could have chatted more friendly with various people.

Unlike large cruise ships, I especially recommend this for couples who want a quiet and romantic atmosphere. Of course, there are clean restrooms available, which is reassuring.

ワイキキに来る度に、ヨットでのサンセットクルーズしたいなと何度か思いつつ、妻が船酔いするため？、揺れの無い大きいクルーズ船しかありませんでしたが、今回思い切って予約。
ワイキキに停泊してるヨットよりも大きく、ほとんど大きくゆれませんでした。但し海風を受けるため、帽子はきついかも。海面に近い為、ワイキキの海を身近に感じヨットの良さが体験出来ます。特に船首はネットになっており更に海面がより近く楽しいです。軽食もバイキングで好きなだけ何度も食べれます。日本人の味にあってました。
気になったのは、ほとんどがアメリカ人で、日本人は数名、あとは韓国人カップルと中国人親子でした。
スタッフ4名もアメリカ人で説明は全て英語な為、英語が不得意な私達は分からない事がありましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。英語が話せれば色々な人達とフレンドリーに話せるのになぁ。
大きい客船とは違い、静かにムードにしたりたいカップルには特にお薦めです。勿論水洗トイレも完備で安心ですよ。

Compared to cruises in Japan, the prices are a bit higher, but the crew members were very friendly, and we had a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the coastline from the ship. The boat wasn't full, so we could relax comfortably. The buffet was delicious, and the sunset viewed from the ship was absolutely lovely, making for great memories of the trip.

On the day of the cruise, it was quite windy, and the boat was rocking a lot, but while watching the sunset, the boat slowed down a bit, so the swaying wasn't too bad. Some people were sitting in chairs at the front of the ship or on a net-like area to enjoy the view. There were no other Japanese passengers on board, and there were no Japanese announcements, but I think it would still be enjoyable for everyone.

日本のクルーズと比べたら少し料金はお高めですが、船員の方たちはとてもフレンドリーで、船からダイアモンドヘッドや海辺が綺麗に見えました。
船も満員ではなかったのでゆったりと乗ることができました。ブュッフェも美味しく、船から見るサンセットはすごく素敵で、旅行の思い出にはとても良かったです。
クルーズに乗った日は風が強く、船がすごく揺れてましたが、サンセットを見る間は船は少し動きが遅くなるので、揺れもそんなになく見ることができました。
船の前の方ではいすに座ったり、網のようなところで座って見てる人もいました。日本人は他に乗ってなく、日本語の案内などはないですが、十分に楽しめるかと思います。

This was my first time using the service. It was supposed to be a sunset cruise, but since we set sail when it was getting dark, I couldn't see the sunset. However, I was satisfied because we had a great view of the fireworks that are held every Friday from the sea. After the fireworks ended, we had more cruise time than I expected, and I enjoyed a delicious Mai Tai while stargazing (though it was a bit weak). The waves were high, but I didn't get seasick and had a great time.

初めて利用させていただきました。
サンセットということでしたが、出航は辺りが暗くなる頃でしたので、夕日は見れませんでした。
金曜恒例の花火は海からよく見えたので、これは満足できました。
また花火終了後は、思った以上にクルーズ時間があり、星を見ながら、マイタイを美味しくいただけました。(ちょっと薄かったけど)
波が高かったのですが、船酔いもせず、楽しめましたよ。

For about ten years, my mother and I have been visiting Hawaii almost every year, but this time we decided to try sailing for the first time and boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran, which departs near our hotel. I used to stay at the Sheraton, so I often saw it, but I never thought to ride it... For some reason, I was curious this time and decided to give it a try, and it was so much fun! I wish I had done this every year. As mentioned in other reviews, there were very few Japanese people on board. Besides us, there was only one couple, and the rest were from various countries, which made it even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively! My mother doesn't speak English, but she had a great time getting wet and laughing with someone from another country who was sitting across from us, using gestures to communicate. It was refreshing to look at the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea and feel the ocean breeze. We also saw sea turtles. The duration of the trip was just right. I read in other reviews that it was good to bring less luggage, so I tried to minimize what I brought. Before boarding, they took our picture, which we could purchase on the way back for $20. Unfortunately, I didn't have the money to buy it, and that's the only regret I have.

10年程前からほぼ毎年ハワイに母娘で訪れていたのですが、今回初めてセーリングをしてみようと思い、ホテル近くから出航するマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗りました。昔、シェラトンを利用していたので、よく見かけていたのですが、乗ってみようと思うことがなく・・・。なぜか今回気になって乗ってみたら、とっても楽しくて、これなら毎年乗ればよかったと思いました。他の方の口コミにもありましたが、日本人は少ないです。私達の他に、1組カップルの方がいたくらいで、他は国際色豊かでした。それが、また楽しかったですね。ノリがいいので！母は英語が話せませんが、向かいに座った違う国の方と共に濡れて、一緒に笑ってジェスチャーを交えて楽しそうでした。海からワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて、海風を感じて爽快でした。あと、ウミガメも見れました。時間もちょうどいい長さでした。他の方の口コミで、荷物を少なくして乗船したと記載されてたので、持ち物を極力少なくして行ったら、乗る前に写真を撮ってくれて、帰るときに購入できるのですが・・・20ドル。持ってなくて買えませんでした。それだけが心残りでした。

The Mai Tai was not crowded with Japanese people, allowing us to fully enjoy the overseas atmosphere! The funky Westerners added to the excitement, making the sunset even more enjoyable!

マイタイ号は日本人少なく、海外気分満喫！
ファンキーな欧米人が盛り上げてサンセットをより楽しめました！

At first, I thought the pickup time was too early, but since I arrived early, I was guided to a table with a view of the fireworks. The food was just okay. The fireworks started late, and I had to wait quite a bit, but the view was fantastic, and I was satisfied.

最初は、ピックアップ時間が早過ぎると思ってましたが、早く着いたため、花火が見える方のテーブルを案内してもらいました。
食べ物は、まぁ〜そんな感じかなって。
花火が上がる時間が遅く、かなり待ちましたが、最高の眺めで満足です。

This was my second time on the Holokai Catamaran, and it was my first time at Sunset Cruises. The staff really got everyone excited, and it was a fun time. I was able to see parts of Diamond Head that I wouldn't normally see, which made me feel like I was really in Hawaii! The sunset was also very beautiful, and the locals surfing looked amazing. I think the unlimited drinks at a great price were a fantastic deal! Thank you very much!

今回で二回目のホロカイカタマランで、サンセットクールズは初めてでした。スタッフさん盛り上げてくれて、楽しい時間でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側とかもなかなかみれないので、ハワイに来たなー！という実感が湧いて来ました。サンセットもとても綺麗で、サーフィンをしているロコ達がとても画になり素敵でした。お酒も飲み放題でお得な金額だと思います！ありがとうございました

I wanted to experience a slightly luxurious dinner cruise for our honeymoon, so I participated. I was really looking forward to it, but it was disappointing.

First of all, the boat was really small. There were about 30 passengers, including us, and once we sat down, it was quite cramped. The dinner was a buffet style. The taste was okay, but it was just simple light snacks. It wasn't what you would call a dinner cruise; it felt more like a light snack cruise. The variety of drinks was good, and there were plenty of alcoholic options.

The boat swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

As for the cruise itself, the sunset was beautiful, and it was nice to take photos with Diamond Head in the background. The staff offered to take our pictures, which was a nice touch. However, because my expectations were high, it wasn't as romantic as I had hoped; it felt more like a casual cruise. We dressed up, but everyone around us was foreign and dressed casually in beach sandals, so we felt out of place.

I think this tour is suitable for those who want to enjoy a relaxed cruise. If you're looking for a romantic atmosphere or expecting a classic dinner cruise, it would be better to go with something more famous like the Star of Honolulu.

ハネムーンのためちょっと豪華なディナークルーズを体験したいなと思い参加しました。
とても楽しみにしていた分、期待はずれでした。
まず、船が本当に小さい。私たちも含め乗客は30人くらいでしたが、椅子に座ったらキツキツでした。
ディナーはバイキング形式。味はまぁまぁ美味しかったですが、簡単な軽食です。ディナークルーズと呼べるものではありません。軽食付きクルーズです。ドリンクの種類は豊富でよかったです。お酒もたくさんありました。

かなり揺れるので船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
クルーズの内容としては、サンセットが綺麗で素敵でした。ダイアモンドヘッドを背景に写真が撮れたのはよかったです。係員の方が写真を撮りましょうかと声を掛けて下さりました。ただ、期待が大きかった分、思ったよりロマンチックな感じではなく、カジュアルなクルーズでした。
私たちは正装で行きましたが、周りは外国人ばかりでみんなビーチサンダルとかラフな感じだったので、浮いてしまいました。
気楽にクルーズを楽しみたい方には向いているツアーだと思います。
ロマンチックな雰囲気を求める方や、王道のディナークルーズを期待する方は、有名なスターオブホノルルとかにした方がいいです。

We had a wonderful time. Staff was great! Would do it again!

There were about 20 participants, mostly Westerners, along with my family and another group of Japanese people. The staff was friendly, and Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink. Initially, only those who wanted a Mai Tai raised their hands, and they were served accordingly. After that, those who wanted juice could request it themselves. Instead of moving sideways near the Diamond Head, we stopped the engine and sailed straight out to sea using only the power of the sails. If you sit on the right side during the ride, you can enjoy the view of Diamond Head on the way out and the sunset on the way back, which I highly recommend.

Those who ordered alcoholic drinks like Mai Tais put about $5 in the tip box when disembarking. They also took a commemorative photo with the yacht when boarding, which you can purchase for $20 if you like. I bought it as a keepsake, and it became a wonderful memory! The boarding point is at the beach near the Sheraton's Halekulani. It's a bit hard to find, so please be careful. It's a white yacht.

日本人は私たち家族ともう一組であとは欧米人ばかり２０人ほど参加していました。
スタッフもフレンドリーでマイタイやビール、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題。最初にマイタイ希望者のみ手を挙げ人数分サーブされ、その後にジュースなどの希望者は自分でリクエストします。ダイヤモンドベッド近くに横に進むというよりエンジンを止めてかなりの沖合までビーチに垂直に帆の力だけで進みます。乗船は右側に座ると行きはダイヤモンドベッド、帰りはサンセットを眺めれるのでオススメです。
マイタイ等アルコールを注文した人達は降りる時に5ドルほどチップを箱の中に入れていました。乗船時にヨットと記念撮影してくれ気に入れば20ドルで購入出来ます。
記念に購入しましたが良い思い出になりました！乗船はシェラトンのハレクラニ側のビーチです。わかりづらいので気をつけてください。白いヨットです。

I was looking forward to the meal before the show based on the reviews, but it was disappointing. ⤵ The seating during the show was good and easy to see, but the development of the one-hour show was lacking and I got bored.

ショーの前の食事のクチコミを読んで期待していましたがそれ程ではではなくがっかり⤵
ショータイムも席は見やすく良い席でしたが1時間程のショーの展開がイマイチであきてしまいます。

It was my first time to be on the cruise and I loved it!
The food was delicious, the view was amazing, and the staffs were very nice and friendly. There were about 12~13 people on the cruise at a time, so the space was enough for everyone.

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. There is a ticket counter where you can give your name and receive your tickets.

You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are smoothies and other options, and since the air conditioning is a bit strong, it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket.

We happened to have seats in the center, but I think you can still enjoy it even from the side seats, as Mr. Presley might come to you as well.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。
チケット売り場があるので名前をいい、チケットを受け取ります。

ドリンクはアルコールとノンアルコールが選べます。
スムージーとそうでないものがあり、少し空調が効いているので薄手の上着を持っていくといいかもしれません。

私達はたまたまセンターの席でしたが、端の席でもプレスリーさんが来てくれたりするので充分楽しめると思います。

Absolutely unreal! Worth every penny. Great music, great crew, just beautiful. Get ready to get splashed!

Next time I would take an anti nausea capsule as it was a little choppy heading out.

We had a great time on the boat with our two kids and baby. They lived seeing the fish and turtles through the glass. The captain and his mate were very friendly. We would do this again!

There were only Asians and mostly Westerners, but it was fun! I thought there would be soft drinks, but it seems there were only alcoholic beverages.

アジア人は自分たちだけで、あとは欧米の人たちばかりでしたけど楽しかったです！
ドリンクはソフトドリンクがあるかと思いましたけどお酒が入ったドリンクしかなかったようです。

Saw this performance with my teen age daughter. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it. It was a fun night out in Waikiki. The dancers are the best part in my opinion. Elvis has strong vocals. Good band too. Excellent stage show - very entertaining. The food was great - my steak was cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation. Even my picky daughter liked the food and tried the lobster. We had great seats - center stage up front. Everyone was very welcoming and the wait staff attentive. The drinks are quite tasty and pretty potent. We did the VIP package and the welcome mai tai was delicious. I'm glad we went.

Beautiful sights along the waters! Enjoyed every second on the boat. Met some pretty cool people from around the world and had an awesome time just relaxing and taking in the views while having some drinks...aloha

It was a fun show that I would like to attend again. However, while they did their best, the singing ability of each performer didn't quite match the real thing, and since I was imagining the originals, I felt a bit unsatisfied. Video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was okay.

また行きたいと思う楽しいショーでした。ただ頑張っておられましたが各歌手の歌唱力がさすがに本物に及ばず、本物をイメージして鑑賞しているだけに少し物足りなさを感じてしまいました。動画はダメですが写真撮影はオッケーでした

I booked this sunset cruise for my man and I for our last night in Hawaii. I wish we would've done this first!!! But saved the best for last. So much fun and the crew was amazing. Will book again.

On our last night in Waikiki, my husband and I participated in this event. First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink and entered the venue. We had about 90 minutes for dinner, which allowed us to enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. Lobster, salmon, and steak were served. The taste was just okay. Next, the show began, featuring Hawaiian hula dancing, fire dancing, and impersonation acts, all accompanied by a Hawaiian band. There were many foreign participants, and I thought that if you don't understand English, it might be difficult to grasp what was being said. However, it was a lively and enjoyable time.

ワイキキ最後の夜に、夫婦二人で参加しました。まず、ウェルカムドリンクでおもてなしを受け、会場に入ります。食事の時間が90分程度あり、ゆっくりいただけました。ロブスターやサーモン、ステーキが出てきます。お味はまあまあといったところでした。次にショーが始まり、ハワイのバンドの演奏に合わせて、ハワイアンのフラダンスやファイヤーダンス、ものまねショーが見られます。外国の方の参加が多く、英語がわからないと何を言っているのか理解できないこともあると思いました。しかし、賑やかで楽しいひと時でした。

I was swayed for longer than I expected. We departed while it was still a bit light out, but it quickly got dark, and the fireworks were really beautiful. Since I participated on the day I arrived in Honolulu, the sway of the boat was pleasantly soothing, and I dozed off a bit due to the time difference... I didn't understand the language, but the atmosphere was good, so I had a great time.

思ったより長い時間揺られていました。
まだ少し明るい時間に出発したけどあっという間に暗くなり、花火もとってもきれいに見れました。今回、ホノルルに到着した日に参加したので時差の関係で船の揺れが心地よくウトウト･･･
言葉は分からなかったけどノリは良かったので楽しかったです。
