All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

Ninety-nine percent of the people on board were foreigners. Everyone was very cheerful, and I thought that foreign people and Japanese aunties are universally the same! However, it was disappointing that there was only one type of free drink.

乗船している人は９割9分外国人でした。
皆さんとっても陽気で外国の人も日本のおばちゃんも万国共通なんだ！と思いました。
ただ無料ドリンクは一種類だけだったのが残念でした。

We definitely enjoyed our two hours of sailing on the beautiful Makani Catamaran. It’s the best escape from the sweltering midday heat. All aboard! The enthusiastic riders strolled towards the stretched tarp fronting the 60 foot catamaran, as others filled the inner cabin, or sat on the open air benches. Not to worry, all views satisfied a person’s thirst for adventure. After a brief introduction of safety, expectations and friendly crew introductions the big white $2million dollar catamaran slowly glided out of Kewalo Basin towards the majestic deep blue Pacific Ocean, passing other harbored yachts, catamarans and various tourist boats. At the mouth of the basin local fishermen on the shores cast their lines, hoping for a fresh catch for dinner. Beyond the ocean horizon a large cargo boat cruised along at a seemingly slow pace, and by the time the catamaran set at 1/4 mile out in the ocean it had traveled parallel to Diamond Head.
We were entertained, watching the skillful rigging of the main sail and sailing effortlessly along the fringes of the island. Excitement stirred when two large sea turtle surfaced on the dark blue waters, appeasing our anticipation for marine life. Feeling the ocean air against our face, listening to the rippling sounds of ocean waves gently splashing against the hulls, watching sailboats skimming across the blue horizon, parasail riders bobbing in the air, and surfer zealots zigzagging across 4-6 foot waves on Point Panics - What more could we ask for?

We had our wedding in Hawaii in January and used this for the after-party. Everyone had quite a bit to drink, but it was a comfortable cruise without much swaying. We were lucky to unexpectedly see whales. Be careful, as it takes quite a while to walk from the Hilton to the beach.

1月にハワイで結婚式を挙げ、2次会で利用しました。皆さんかなり酒が入っていましたが、特に揺れる事も無く、快適なクルーズでした。思いがけず、鯨を見る事が出来てラッキーでした。ヒルトンからビーチを歩いていくと、かなりかかるので要注意です。

I used this service on the first day of my trip! Since we set sail while it was still light out, I was able to enjoy the beautiful blue sky, the blue ocean, and the view of Waikiki! I was also moved by the beauty of the sunset afterward! When we participated, it was very quiet. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely cruise while savoring a meal along with hula dancing and live singing! When choosing the sunset cruise, I was torn between a yacht or this option, but since I was with my mother this time, I was glad we chose the relaxing cruise with transportation included! I had checked the meal options in advance, so I didn't have high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed as long as I thought of it as a bonus. The staff's service was also good! I was especially happy that the bartender spoke Japanese and engaged in conversation with us!

旅行初日に利用しました！
明るいうちに出航するので、青空と青い海とワイキキの景色を気持ちよく堪能！その後サンセットの美しさに感動しました！
私たちが参加した時は、とても空いていました。そのおかげか食事をしながら、フラダンスと生歌を堪能し、ゆったりとクルージングを楽しめました！
サンセットクルーズを選ぶ時に、ヨットにするか迷いましたが、今回は母と一緒だったので送迎付きのゆっくり過ごせるクルージングにして良かったです！
食事内容は事前に確認していたので、あまり期待はせず、おまけ程度と思えば不満はありませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応も良かったです！特にバーテンダーの方が日本語の出来る方で、沢山話しかけて下さったのが嬉しかったです！

They talked about the history of Hawaii, but I couldn't understand anything at all... (*ºчº*)w

I thought I would have enjoyed it more if I could speak English. (´∇｀)

Thank you very much!!!!

ハワイの歴史の話をしてくれたんですが。。。
全く聴き取れず。。。。(*ºчº*)w

英語が喋れたらもっと楽しめたなーっと思いました(´∇｀)

ありがとうございました!!!!

This was a fun cruise...good music, great staff, fun atmosphere...we were especially happy and grateful to the staff, as we were a group of 8, celebrating a friend's 60th birthday. Three of us had neglected to get tickets in time, and were on standby, hoping that we'd all get on the boat. Luckily, we were all able to go on the cruise, making this a special event for our friend...thanks so much, Holokai Catamaran!

I wanted to see a show in Hawaii, and I found a campaign for a second ticket free for "Rock-a-Hula," so I signed up immediately (･∀･). The shuttle service was also free, but since I was staying near the Royal Hawaiian Center where the show was held, I walked there. I arrived around 6:15 PM.

Dinner was served about 1 to 2 hours before the show started. We were welcomed with drinks and pineapple, and then we each took a plate to the area where the food was laid out. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the whole roasted pig was showcased by the chef. While the pig was the main attraction, the huli huli chicken and roast beef were also delicious.

Since it was a buffet, I planned to go back for more, but I got full after just one plate and decided against getting more. For dessert, there were cakes and coconut macadamia nut ice cream, and I tried everything. During the meal, we learned hula dancing, and the atmosphere was filled with the sounds of ukulele and singing, truly capturing the essence of Hawaii.

After dinner, we entered the venue in order, and I was seated on the second floor, but I didn't feel far from the stage at all. Plus, the Elvis impersonator came up to the second floor and even shook hands with us. We enjoyed hula dancing and fire dancing with impersonators of Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, and time flew by.

At the end, we were able to take pictures with the impersonators for free! I really had a wonderful time. Thank you, ALOHA!

ハワイで何かショーを見たくて探していたらロックアフラの2人目無料のキャンペーンがあったので即申込みました(･∀･)
送迎も無料でしたがショーのあるロイヤルハワイアンセンターの近くに宿泊していたので歩いて行きました。
18:15頃に到着しました。
食事はショーがはじまるまえ1.2時間でとるようになっていました
スタッフの方からのウェルカムドリンクとパイナップルが振る舞われ、その後は1人ずつ皿を持ち料理が並んでいる所へ
種類も豊富にあり豚の丸焼きはシェフが披露していました。
その豚がメインですが他にもフリフリチキンやローストビーフも美味しかったです。
ビュッフェなので次に取りに行こうと思っていましたが1皿でお腹いっぱいになり追加は断念しました。
デザートはケーキやココナッツマカダミアクッキーアイスクリームがあり全部制覇しました。
食事中はフラダンスを教わったりウクレレの音や歌で雰囲気はハワイでした。
食事後順番に会場入り2Fの席だったのですがステージとの距離はあまり感じませんでした。
しかもプレスリーのそっくりさんは2Fまで来てくれて握手もしてもらえました。
マイケルジャクソン、ケイティペリーとフラダンスやファイヤーダンスと、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
最後にはそっくりさんとの写真撮影も無料で出来ました！
本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました。
thank you ALOHA!

The captain and crew were great and they made the cruise enjoyable. The ride was nice even tho' it did not go to sunset, probably about 1/2 hour short. Major complaint was that the wine selection was WEAK. No red!!

Nice show! I took my family (the age varies from 9 to 87), and everyone liked it!

This was our first luau and we both enjoyed it.

Husband and I chose the Golden Circle package. We were given leis when we arrived, seated next to the stage, and were among the first to go up to the buffet.

The buffet was typical buffet foods with some Hawaiian additions. It was nie to taste new flavors but, the meats were overcooked and dry. Typical steam tray buffet. There were some nice vegetable options and the desserts were good. I don't recommend the poi. Try it somewere else.

The show takes the guests on a tour of the Polynesian islands through dance. The dancers play to all 3 sides of the seating so everyone gets a good show. Woo! The dancers were great. The musicians were great. The emcee was great. Yes, we enjoyed the show. I was mesmerized by the skill of the dancers.

My biggest complaint is the seating. We were very cramped at the tables. The chairs are uncushioned wood and tightly packed. It kinda reminded me of a wedding-type seating.

I'm glad I could see the Hilton fireworks. However, 90 minutes might be surprisingly long!? It started to rain halfway through, and I think 60 minutes would have been enough!

ヒルトンの花火が見られて良かった。
だけど90分は意外と長いかも！？
途中スコールも降ってきて、60分でも十分だと思う！

Last time, I watched the sunset on a cocktail cruise, so this time I decided to join a dinner cruise. I was satisfied to be able to sit back comfortably and enjoy the sunset and the city while sipping welcome champagne.

As for the meal, it felt similar to a lunch buffet that you could find in Japan for around 1,000 to 2,000 yen.

Perhaps a cocktail cruise where you choose and purchase your favorite items at a market or supermarket, and then enjoy them at the hotel while soaking in the atmosphere, might be a safer option.

前回は夕日をカクテルクルーズで観たため、今回は夕食付きクルーズをと思い参加しました。
ゆったりと席について、ウェルカムシャンパンをいただきながら夕焼けや街を観ることができ、それには満足しました。
食事については、日本で千～二千円くらいで食べられるランチビュッフェのような感じでした。

もしかしたら、カクテルクルーズ→マーケットやスーパーで好きなものをチョイスして購入し、ホテルで余韻にひたりながら食べる、とかのほうが無難かもしれません。

They take you quite far out into the ocean. There’s an all-you-can-drink alcohol option, but they also had non-alcoholic tropical cocktails that tasted just like the tropical blended cocktails. You can still have fun even if you don’t drink. It can get quite bumpy, so if you’re prone to seasickness, it might be better to skip it. Most of the participants were foreigners, and they seemed to enjoy the rocking. There were groups dancing energetically to the loud music, and just being in the same space was fun. If you have plans afterward, please allow for extra time. They took us out to sea for about 20 minutes longer than scheduled. I think it’s a good idea to make restaurant reservations with some buffer time.

けっこう沖まで行ってくれます。
アルコール飲み放題ですが、
トロピカルなブレンドのカクテルと同じ味の
ノンアルコールのトロピカルなカクテルも
用意されていました。
お酒が飲めなくても楽しめます。
かなり揺れるので、酔いやすい人はやめておいた方がいいかも知れません。
参加していたのはほとんどが外国人で、
その揺れも楽しんでいました。
大音量で流れる音楽でノリノリで踊っているグループもいて
同じ空間にいるだけで楽しかったです。
このあとの予定があるかたは、時間は長めに見ていてください。
予定よりも20分ほど長めに海に出てくれていました。
レストランなどの予約は、余裕を持って予約するといいと思います。

The service was attentive, and I had a pleasant time. The show was impressive and authentic. I was satisfied with the dinner as well. It was a fun entertainment show!

サービスも行き届いており心地よい時間を過ごせました^_^ショーも本格的で圧巻です。ディナーも満足＾＾
楽しいエンターテイメントショーでした！

This time, I participated with my family of four. Riding on the cruiser and watching the sunset in Hawaii was truly moving. The cheerful behavior of the foreigners made us feel united across borders, and the two hours flew by. I plan to join again the next time I come to Hawaii. Everyone, please consider participating as well. Aloha!!

今回、家族４人で参加しました。クルーザーに乗ってハワイてのサンセットは大変感動でした。外人さんの陽気な振る舞いに国境を越えて何かひとつになれてあっという間の２時間でした。次回ハワイに来た時また参加しようと思います。皆さんも是非、参加してみて下さい。アロハ!!

My friend and I participated for the first time. The meal was a buffet, and while there weren't many options, the flavors were familiar and easy for Japanese people to enjoy. The same staff members handled everything from the food to the dancers, and everyone was very kind. We were entertained with various Hawaiian dances even before the show started.

The show featured Hawaiian hula and fire dancing, with impersonations as the main focus. The highlight was definitely the performance of Elvis Presley, who looked and sounded just like the real thing, and the fan service was amazing.

We were also able to take a commemorative photo with the staff at the end, which made us very satisfied. However, the venue was a bit cold, so I think having a shawl would have been a good idea.

友人と2人で初めて参加させていただきました。
食事はビュッフェで、品数は多くはなかったですが、味は日本人にも馴染みのある味が多く食べやすかったです。
食事からダンサーまで同じスタッフさんでしたが、皆さんとても親切で、ショーはもちろん、ショーが始まるまでの時間も様々なハワイアンダンスで楽しませていただきました。
ショーはハワイらしくフラダンスやファイヤーダンスを盛り込みつつ、モノマネがメインのショーでした。特に声も顔もそっくりなエルビスプレスリーさんの時が一番盛り上がっており、ファンサービスもすごかったです。
最後にスタッフさんと記念撮影もでき、大満足でした。
ただ、会場が少し寒かったので、羽織があった方が良いかと思いました。

Had a great time and the ride was amazing with seeing Waikiki from afar...

During my last visit to Hawaii, I experienced a dinner cruise, but since the meal was the main focus, I wanted to enjoy the sunset more this time, so I participated in this cruise. It departs from the Sheraton beach, so I think it's best to go in beach sandals. You can go barefoot on the boat and store your belongings under the seats.

Aside from us, there was only one other group of Japanese participants, and most of the attendees were foreigners. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, including Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks. Everyone was cheerful, enjoying their drinks and dancing to upbeat music, which was quite impressive.

As for the main event, the sunset, there were no clouds, and I was able to enjoy the moment when the sun sank, painting the sea and sky a brilliant red. This cruise offers a 360-degree view of the ocean, which was very refreshing.

The boat does sway quite a bit when it accelerates, but I didn't feel seasick. The wind was pretty strong and felt cold, so I think having something to cover up would be a good idea. I had a wonderful time and would love to do it again.

前回ハワイを訪れた際はディナークルーズを体験したのですが、食事がメインだったためもっとサンセットを満喫したいと思い参加しました。
シェラトンのビーチから出航するのでビーチサンダルで行くのがいいと思います。船では裸足になり、座席の下に荷物を入れておくことができます。
参加者は私達以外に日本人の方は1組しかおらず、ほとんど外国の方でした。
ドリンクは飲み放題で、マイタイをはじめビールやソフトドリンクもあります。
皆さん陽気で、お酒を楽しみながらアップテンポな曲に合わせてノリノリだったのが印象的でした。
メインのサンセットですが、雲もなく、太陽が海と空を真っ赤に染めて沈んでいく瞬間を楽しむことができました。
こちらのクルーズは360度全方位から海を眺められるのでとても開放感があってよかったです。
船が加速する時はかなり揺れますが、酔うことはありませんでした。
風が結構強くて寒く感じるので、羽織るものがあるといいと思います。
とても満喫できました。また利用したいです。

I'm 65, 2 heart attacks on my resume and was never much of an adventurer. Your Catamaran ride woke me to what I've been missing. Thank you !!! Will I do it again? Absolutely!!! As a matter of fact, your ride out to the open sea prompted me to schedule to some parasailing Tuesday. I hope that answers your "review" Thanks again. . .

On the night we arrived in Honolulu, just before my daughter's wedding the next day, we boarded the ship. I had been on this cruise over a decade ago and had a great experience, so this was my second time. With the captain and crew's enjoyable conversations and atmosphere, we had some drinks and were able to watch the sunset. In the end, we got completely soaked from a downpour, but that was part of the fun. My jet lag has completely worn off. I had prepared a parka for the rain, but be careful as it can get chilly with just a short-sleeve T-shirt.

ホノルルに到着した夜、娘の結婚式を翌日に控えた日に乗船しました。10数年前にも乗船してとても良かったので、今回が2度目でした。船長・クルーの楽しい会話と雰囲気の中、お酒も進み、サンセットも見ることができました。最後はスコールでびしょ濡れでしたが、それも楽しみに一つです。時差ボケが完全に抜けました。私は雨対策でパーカーを準備しておりましたが、半袖Ｔシャツだけだと寒くなるので要注意です。

It's a one-hour show, but it's not boring at all. It had not only impersonations but also a touch of Hawaii. It might be worth seeing at least once.

1時間のショーですが、飽きないですね。
ものまねショーだけではなく、ハワイらしさもありました。一度は良いかもしれません。

It's a very enjoyable show that feels like a time slip back to my youth. The handsome Elvis, even though I knew he was an impersonator, drew me in as if he were the real Elvis. Next was Michael, who embodies my own youth! I found myself naturally moving to the rhythm and singing along.

As for the food, it was centered around meat dishes with flavors that suit Japanese tastes. I must admit, I wasn't expecting much from the buffet at a Hawaiian event, but the food was very satisfying.

At the end of the show, there was a photo opportunity with the performers! I got to take pictures with everyone and was so excited. I will definitely participate again next time.

青春時代にタイムスリップしたようなとても楽しいショ－です。
イケメンのエルビス、なんだかそっくりさんとわかっていても、本物のエルビスと勘違いしてい引き込まれてしまいました。
つぎにマイケル、私自身の青春時代そのもの！自然に体がリズムをとり、いっしょに口ずさんでいる自分に気づきました。
食事ですが、肉料理が中心で日本人の口に合う味付けされており、失礼ですがハワイのイベントビュッフェの料理と期待しておりませんでしたが、とても満足できる料理でした。
ショ－の終わりは出演者との写真撮影！全員と写真を撮って頂き、とてもはしゃいでしまいました。次回もまた参加致します。

It was a fantastic trip , the 2 tour guides were fantastic and knew what they were talking about , made me feel very comfortable and relaxed , I will definitely be back

The sunset cruise was the best thing on Oahu for my honeymoon. This activity was so relaxing.

Amazing. Great entertainment. Food amazing. Really well done

Was really well done. Worth the money. Great entertainment and food.

I treated my husband to this sunset cruise, and honestly it was the best decision ever. The crew were amazing and the maitais were refreshing and quite good. You get a perfect view over Waikiki Beach and the Diamond Head. Thanks guys for an amazing time. We will definitely choose you again when we're back in Hawaii.

The crew was great, good food, good music, all around good time watching the sunset and fireworks.

We thoroughly enjoyed the show with our family. We went on the day we arrived in Hawaii, and it was so much fun that it made us forget about jet lag. Additionally, there was an accident, and I made a last-minute request, but Mr. M from Veltra responded quickly and was very helpful. I apologize for the inconvenience. Also, since it was our honeymoon, we received warm words, which my husband and I were very touched by. I would appreciate it if you could convey this to the person in charge. Thank you very much for everything this time.

家族でショーを堪能しました。
ハワイ到着日に行ったのですが、時差ボケも吹っ飛ぶ楽しさでした。
また、アクシデントがあり、急遽のお願いをしたのですが、ベルトラのMさんに迅速に対応して頂き、とても助かりました。無理を言ってすみませんでした。
そして、またハネムーンということもあり、温かい言葉を頂き、夫とともに感激いたしました。
その旨、担当者さまに伝えて頂けると嬉しいです。
今回は本当にありがとうございました。

I planned a cruise to fully enjoy the sea in Hawaii. Since I was going on a cruise, I made a reservation for Friday night to watch the fireworks. I had previously been on a dinner cruise, but this time it was a cocktail cruise on a yacht, so I was a bit worried. From the moment I boarded, the crew's fun conversations and music lifted my spirits. The all-you-can-drink options were great, and above all, I was moved by the wonderful cruising experience in the pleasant Hawaiian breeze and the spectacular fireworks. It was an emotional experience that felt like time stood still.

やっぱりハワイの海を最大限に楽しみたいとクルーズを計画しました。折角クルーズするのであれば花火を見ながらと思い、金曜日の夜に予約しました。今まで、ディナークルーズ船は乗船した事があり今回は、カクテルクルーズでヨット式の船でしたのでちょっぴり心配していました。乗船時から、クルーの楽しい会話とミュージックでテンションアップアップです。様々なドリンクが飲み放題でしっかり飲めて何より、ハワイの気持ち良い梅風の中のクルージングと素晴らしい花火に感動しました。時間が止まったような感動的な体験でした。
