This was my second time participating, but there were no other Japanese people besides us. If you don't understand English at all, it might be a bit concerning. Watching the fireworks from the boat was amazing. It started to rain partway through, and because we were on the sea, it was very windy and quite cold. Since the weather can change quickly, I recommend preparing for the cold.

今回２度目の参加でしたが日本人は私たち以外いませんでした。
全く英語が解らないと、ちょっと心配かもしれません。
船上からの花火観賞はサイコーでした。
途中から雨が降ってきて、海上のため風が強くとても寒かったです。
お天気が変わりやすいので、防寒対策して行くのをお勧めします。

Our kids enjoyed all you can ear crabs then loved sunset view.

I didn't encounter dolphins or sea turtles, but I was truly moved by the beautiful sunset and the cobalt blue sea! The all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was incredibly delicious! I want to join again!!!

イルカや海ガメとは、遭遇出来ませんでしたが…
本当に美しい夕日とコバルトブルーの海に感動しました！
飲み放題だったマイタイ、すごく美味しかったです！また参加したい！！！

Since we arrived on Friday, I was looking for a nice place to watch the fireworks with him. I considered various options like dinner cruises and restaurants, but taking into account our schedule during the stay (the wedding), I found a plan that combined the fireworks with a cruise, which I wanted to include in this trip to Hawaii. I made the reservation right away.

The staff were lively, and the atmosphere was great with music, a relaxing breeze, and a beautiful night view. We were able to see the fireworks from a really good spot! It was a wonderful start to our night, feeling great right after our arrival!

金曜到着だったので、これは花火を素敵なところで（彼と）見なければ♪と、いろいろ探していました。ディナークルーズやレストラン、いろいろ検討しましたが、滞在中のスケジュール（挙式）なども考慮して、花火と、これまた今回のハワイ旅行で取り入れたかったクルーズがセットになっているプランを発見。さっそく予約しました。
ノリのいいスタッフさん達に、音楽～まったり風と夜景も楽しめる雰囲気もちゃんとあり～で、とてもよかったです。花火もしっかりいいスポットで見れました！
到着早々、いい気分でスタートの夜でした！

Since it was a special Friday with my daughters on their first trip to Hawaii, we decided to watch the fireworks from the sea. It was better than I expected, as we could see Diamond Head from a different angle and enjoy the pleasant breeze. The buffet-style meal was also tastier than I anticipated, and there seemed to be a variety of drinks available.

However, it would have been nice to have some notices in Japanese regarding safety instructions and how to order drinks on the boat. I didn't quite understand everything and couldn't enjoy the different drinks as much as I would have liked. It was a bit disappointing, especially since the bartender was very friendly and accommodating.

初ハワイの娘達と折角の金曜だったので、海上から花火を見ようと言うことに。違う角度からダイヤモンド・ヘッドが見れたり、気持ち良い風に吹かれながらと思った以上に良かったです。ビュッフェスタイルの食事も思ったより美味しかった。お酒も色々ありそうでした。
ただ、船上での注意書き、お酒の頼み方などせめて日本語表示の張り紙でもあればよかった。よく分からなくて、色んなお酒を楽しめなかった。作ってくれるお兄ちゃんはとってもフランクで良かっただけに少し残念。

It was a very cost-effective optional tour. I enjoyed Mai Tai cocktails and champagne, and had a romantic evening. Next time, I want to join during sunset. There were fewer Japanese participants, but everyone was lively and it was fun ^_^

If I had to point out one thing, the directions might be unclear. The right exit from the Sheraton Hotel pool is for the Mai Tai cocktail tour, but we went out the left exit and waited in front of a sign with a similar name. We later realized our mistake after asking around and hurriedly ran back. The names of the tours are similar, so please be careful. By the way, the main sign for the tour we mistakenly joined had pictures of a catamaran and the ocean, while the Mai Tai tour had a sign in red letters. The Mai Tai tour is just outside the Sheraton pool. The mistaken tour required quite a walk from the Sheraton pool, so that might help as a reference.

Even with the mix-up at the meeting point, it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii. I absolutely recommend it.

とてもコスパの高いオプショナルツアーでした。
マイタイのカクテルやシャンパンをいただき、ロマンティックな夜を過ごさせていただきました。今度はサンセットの時間帯に参加したいです。日本人は少なめですが、みんなノリノリで楽しかったです^_^
ひとつ指摘をあげるのであれば、案内が分かりづらいかもしれません。シェラトンホテルのプールから右側出口がマイタイカクテルツアーですが、私達は左側出口に出て、似たような名前の看板の前で待ち、後から周囲に聞いて謝りに気づき慌てて走りました。ツアーの名前も似てますので、気をつけてください。因みに間違えたツアーのメイン案内板は双胴船や海の写真が入ってますが、マイタイツアーは確か赤字での案内板でした。マイタイツアーはシェラトンのプールから出てすぐです。間違えたツアーはシェラトンのプールから出て、結構歩きましたので目安になると思います。
待ち合わせ場所を間違えたハプニングを除いても、とても良いハワイの思い出になりました。絶対おすすめです。

The cruise was the best part of the entire Waikiki trip!

The crew on this trip were excellent! We had the whole boat to ourselves. The captain of the boat went out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We saw turtles and also saw some dolphins
In the distance. The Crew were very knowledgable and made the experience very worthwhile! The captain knew a lot about the history of the island and talked us through it, throughout the ride. I would recommend this and will recommend this.
The boat ride was excellent! We really enjoyed the trip and this topped it off!
When we saw the dolphins the driver tried to get as close as possible to them before they swam off. The glass bottom allowed is
To see the Bottom of the ocean which was remarkable. The crew were very helpful and made the experience much better!
They pointed out turtles and dolphins, they explained the usual patterns and they gave us advice on what to see around the island and the best spots to visit.

The weather was nice, gradually turning into a beautiful sunset and then night. The atmosphere was great, the hula dance was very impressive, and the food was delicious. I was very satisfied.

天気も良くて、だんだんと夕焼けになって、夜になって、雰囲気も良くて、フラダンスがとても迫力があって、ご飯も美味しくて、大満足です。

I attended with my sister and was very impressed. I was excited by the high quality and felt thrilled. I would like to go again.

姉と一緒に観覧しましたが、大変感激しました。
クオリティーの高さに感激し、興奮しました。
また、行ってみたいと思いました。

I love this star of hononlulu sunset cruises... their had a very good services... next time I still gonna go more

The location was within the Royal Hawaiian Center, so it was convenient and close to the hotel where I was staying.

The show featured traditional Hawaiian dances and impersonations (?), alternating between them, and the time flew by. However, there were many songs I didn't know, so I thought it would have been better to study some songs by Michael and Presley in advance. The venue had strong air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket.

場所がロイヤルハワイアンセンター内だったので宿泊していたホテルから近く便利でした。

ショーの内容もハワイの伝統的なダンスとそっくりさんのモノマネ（？）ライブと交互にあり時間があっという間に過ぎました。
ただ知らない曲が多かったのでもう少し事前にマイケルやプレスリーの曲を勉強していけばよかったかなと思いました。
会場は冷房がかなりきいているので必ず長袖の上着を持っていくのがいいと思います。

On our honeymoon in early December, my husband and I went to see a famous rock show in Hawaii on our last night, the fourth night of our trip (＾＿＾)☆ The show took place on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, where we enjoyed a service that included toasting with drinks and eating fruits and nuts in a stylish VIP room before the show started! If you prefer non-alcoholic drinks, just say "non-alcohol please" and you will receive a non-alcoholic option♪ Alcoholic drinks come with clear straws, while non-alcoholic drinks have red straws as a marker! After that, we moved to the venue where the show was held and enjoyed a delicious meal (´ω｀). The luxurious lobster was the most impressive dish! The waitstaff were friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable! The show featured impersonators of famous celebrities like Michael Jackson, and it was truly moving to see them up close! Additionally, the fire dance was also impressive! It was my first time seeing a fire dance, and it was very powerful! The audience's excitement reached its peak! After the show, we had our photo taken with three celebrity impersonators by the staff! A little waiting in line for photos is all you need♪ The rock show created unforgettable memories for us (＾＿＾)☆ I would love to participate again!

ハネムーンで12月上旬に旦那と初めてのハワイの最終日4日目の夜にハワイで有名なロックショーを観に行きました（＾＿＾）☆ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階に行われたこのショーでは、ショーが始まる前におしゃれなVIPルームでお酒で乾杯しながらフルーツやナッツを食べたりするサービスがありました！ノンアルコール希望の人はノンアルコールプリーズと言えばノンアルコールをいただけます♪アルコールの方は透明なストロー、ノンアルコールの方は赤色のストローが目印です！その後にショーが行われる会場に移動し、美味しいお食事をいただきました(´ω｀)高級なロブスターが1番印象的でした！ウェイトレスさんも気さくな方が多くとても楽しかったです！ショーはマイケルジャクソンなどのそっくりな有名人さんを間近でみることができ、とても感動しました！また、ファイヤーダンスも感動しました！ファイヤーダンスも初めて観たのでとても迫力がありました！観客からの盛り上がりも最高潮に達していました！ショーが終わった後に、有名人そっくりさん3人と写真をスタッフの方に撮っていただきました！写真撮影は少し並べば大丈夫です♪ロックショでは、一生の思い出を作ることができました（＾＿＾）☆また参加したいと思いました！

I felt like I was on the boat for quite a long time! I usually don't take the time to enjoy the sunset, so I was completely relaxed and lost track of time. After the sun went down, I was able to enjoy the night view as well ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ On the way back, the waves were a bit rough, and I got seasick. But I want to go again!

結構長い時間のっていた気がします！！
夕日が沈むまで、ゆっくり見ることなんて普段ないので、時間を忘れて癒されました。
沈んでからは、夜景も堪能できました( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
帰りにじゃっかん波があらくて、船酔いしました。
でも、また行きたいです！

I watched my first hula show in Hawaii. Since I had the chance, I opted for the green room package with dinner. It included welcome champagne in the green room, a commemorative photo with the performers, a backstage tour, and a course meal. I think it's quite affordable at under $200 compared to other hula shows. The explanation during the backstage tour was all in English, so there were parts I didn't fully understand. I was able to watch up close, and I could feel the heat from the fire dance. I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity.

ハワイで初めてフラショーを観ました。
せっかくなので、グリーンルームと料理付きにしました。
グリーンルームでのウェルカムシャンパンと出演者との記念写真、バックステージツアーにコース料理。全て含まれて200ドルしないので他のフラショーと比べても安いと思います。
バックステージツアーの説明は全部英語なので所々わからないところ有りでした。
近くで観れたので、ファイアーダンスは炎の熱を感じる程でした。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

Everything was great - it even rained so we sort of had soupy food, but the entertainment was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and met a couple of very nice people!

It was an open rooftop, so we had our meal while getting soaked in the rain. They only provided thin plastic ponchos, and there wasn't much follow-up.

The show and the meal were good, so the weather seems to significantly affect the overall satisfaction.

屋根のない屋上だったので、雨でびしょびしょになりながら食事をしました。
薄いビニールのポンチョが配られただけで、特にフォローはありません。

ショーや食事は良かったので、天気で満足度はかなり変わりそうです。

My wife, Sherstin, and I immensely enjoyed our sail on the "Makani" and it was one of the high points of our recent time on Oahu.
The day was mostly sunny with a few rain squalls which made for some interesting contrasts.
The catamaran was very stable and the captain was expert at reading the waves and currents which was a great relief to my wife since she is a bit prone to dizziness. But she was able to handle the voyage with no problem.
What a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki! We also got a kick out of seeing a couple of turtles, as well as some surfers and snorkelers.
Hats off to the captain, crew and shore personnel -- we had a great time!

About 20% of the people were Japanese, but on the contrary, that really enhanced the feeling of being on an overseas trip, which was great. I was quite surprised that they went all the way out to the open sea!

日本人は２割くらいでしたが、逆にそれが海外旅行に来ている感をupさせてくれとてもよかったです。結構沖のほうまで行ってくれてびっくりしました！

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see much since I had the cheapest seat. However, the seat was close to the stage, and I could see everything. I enjoyed both the Hawaiian dance and the impersonations, and I felt like I got a great deal! Additionally, I was able to participate in photo opportunities after the show, so I had a wonderful time even at a low price.

1番安い席だから、あまり見えなかったらどぅしよう…と不安でした。しかし、席はステージから近く、全体を見渡せます。ハワイアンダンスもものまねも楽しめて、すごく得した気分！また、終了後の写真撮影にも参加でき、安い価格でも十分に楽しめました。

My husband and I went on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. It far exceeded our expectations! The staff was not only knowledgeable but incredibly fun and friendly. We felt so much Aloha. We enjoyed it so much we are going back again next year and doing this again. We are bringing friends this time!

I participated on the last day in Hawaii. The Hilton is very large, so it was difficult to find the venue. The food was just okay, but the show was all in English, and I enjoyed it enough.

ハワイ最終日に参加しました。
ヒルトンは、とても広いので会場を探すのが大変でした。
お料理はまあまあといったところ、ショーはすべて
英語ですが、十分楽しめました。

I was looking for a hula dance show and found this one based on the great reviews.

I chose the VIP plan, which included a dinner course. We enjoyed a course meal at our table before watching the show. The shrimp and meat were both incredibly delicious and there was plenty of food. The staff was also very kind.

We were able to watch the show right from our seats in the front row. The hula dance was very cute and glamorous. The fire dance was also very impressive.

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also performances by Michael, Elvis Presley, and Celine Dion. There were many songs I recognized, and it was so much fun. Everyone clapped along and got really into it. I think it’s highly recommended for both women and men. Michael was really a look-alike, and he sang beautifully, which made it enjoyable.

I truly had a wonderful time. After the show, I was able to take photos with Michael, Celine Dion, and Elvis Presley. It felt like I met stars.

I definitely want to go again when I come back to Hawaii. I highly recommend it.

フラダンスのショーを、見たくて、色々と探していました。
こちらのクチコミがよく、参加させていただきました。

vipプランにしたので、ディナーコース付きでした。
テーブルでコース料理を食べてからショーを見ました。
エビもお肉もすごく美味しくて量もありました。スタッフの方も、すごく親切でした。

ショーも、そのままの席で観れたので、最前列です。
フラダンスは、とても可愛くて、華やかでした。
ファイヤーダンスも、すごく迫力がありました。

フラダンスだけでなく、マイケルや、プレスリー、セリーヌディオンが出てきました。知っている歌も多くて、すごく楽しかったです。
みんなで手拍子をしたり、盛り上がりました。
女性だけでなく、男性にもとてもおすすめだと思いました。
マイケルも、本当にそっくりで、歌も上手くて楽しかったです。

本当に素敵な時間を過ごせました。
ショーの後は、マイケルやセリーヌディオン、プレスリーと一緒に写真が撮れました。スターに会えた気分になれました。

また、ハワイに来たらぜひ行きたいです。
おすすめです。

It was our family's first catamaran ride in 15 years! No matter when you ride, you can enjoy the essence of Hawaii! The kids, who were small back then, fell asleep during the trip, but this time they are adults (laughs), so they thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise while sipping on Mai Tais! Honestly, it seemed like the kids would have enjoyed the atmosphere even more if they had gone with people who weren't family (laughs).

家族で15年ぶりのカタマランでした！いつ乗っても、ハワイらしさを楽しめます！
当時、小さかった子供たちは途中で寝てしまっていましたが、今回は成人してるので（笑）、しっかりマイタイを頂きながら、サンセットクルーズを堪能していました！
・・正直、子供たちには、家族じゃない人と乗った方が、尚、雰囲気を楽しめそうでしたが（笑）

We loved the cruise from the moment we boarded to the moment we stepped off! The crew and catamaran were top notch and professionals at having fun! We were celebrating with my son and daughter in law and eveverything was amazing and entertaining!

My overall experience aboard the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise ship was fantastic! I went with my 7-year old son and he had a blast as well. His favorite part of the evening was going up and down the stairs from one deck to another exploring. And my favorite part was... the view of the Hawaiian sun disappearing behind the endless horizon. :)

We chose the all-you-can-eat crab dinner, and it was literally “all-you-can-eat!” The spirit-of-aloha-filled staff member was cruising along the dining area asking who else would like some more crab legs until the guests could not say a "yes" any more. The quality of food and entertainment were superb.

It was my first cruise dinner, so I did not know what to expect. A funny jokes-filled driver picked us up in a luxury motorcoach bus and upon arrival to Aloha Tower, an elegant staff representative escorted us to the ship. The tables were set beautifully with an orchid in the middle of the dinner plate.

I would definitely recommend this experience both to tourists and to those who live in Hawaii!

Such a fun excursion! I went with my family and this was fun for everyone. We got to see sea turtles and all sorts of native fish! The fish even came right up next to the boat. They took us out to where they saw dolphins the other day and while we didn't see any it was still a beautiful view. The staff were fun and informative and the boat was very clean and well maintained. The staff were quick to point out any local landmarks or points of interest and were very funny. I would definitely recommend this!

Oh, and be sure to try the house cocktail! They don't skimp on their pours ;) I'd also recommend getting the souvenir cup, you get twice the drink for your ticket and a cool cup to remember your trip by!

The catamaran heading towards the sunset was very stable, and the hotel cluster in Waikiki was beautifully lit up. For just a moment, the fireworks from the sea were amazing!

夕日に向かって走るカタマラン号は揺れも余り無く、
ワイキキのホテル群がライトアップされてとても美しかったです。
ほんの一瞬ですが、海上からの花火は素晴らしい～

We did the sunset sail our last night in Oahu and had a blast! Cruising around the water in Hawaii with open bar, can't go wrong!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。
