The sailing was pretty, the views were gorgeous during sunset, and the boat was nice enough. The crew was great. But I don't think it was worth the almost $200 we paid to go as a couple. The drinks were fairly weak, and of course they talk you into buying the $8 souvenir cup under the pretense that you'll get a bigger drink for the same price as the small cups... but they just use more mixer and ice and the same amount of liquor. We expected that and weren't expecting much of the food either since most touristy things like this aren't the best in either department. I'm mostly bummed out that this was advertised as a lantern ceremony sail which is the only reason we booked it. We've wanted to see the ceremony for the past 4 years but didn't want to deal with the huge crowds on shore. I understand that with the surf, you can't get too close, but we hadn't realized just how far away we'd be. It was just distance lights far away against the shore that blended in with he city lights and traffic. I had my extreme zoom telephoto lens and even I could barely tell when the lanterns hit the water. People opted to pull up the live streaming of the ceremony on their phones, which honestly was kind of a cool mixture to be out there live on the water and get a closer view digitally, but not worth $200 for the experience. Overall kind of disappointed, but still a cool way to see a different view of the island. Just not the lantern experience we had expected.

What a fun sail with flowing MaiTai's and beautiful views of Waikiki Beach! The vantage point was incredible to see the Hilton's fireworks show, and the cruise was not overcrowded. The only caveat - they tell you for sure to wear something that can get wet and they are not kidding. Getting on seemed fairly easy, but getting off, the tide seemed to be a little more surly and we got a little wetter (over our knees for sure). Luckily, we were only walking back to our hotel. Overall, a great end to our first wonderful day in Hawaii!

This was my first time participating. There were hardly any Japanese people, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but thanks to the cheerful captain and staff, I had a really enjoyable time. The weather was great that day, and I felt fantastic while watching the beautiful sunset. It's an activity that makes me want to participate again!

初めての参加です
日本人はほとんど居らず日本語も通じませんが陽気なキャプテンとスタッフさんのおかげで大変楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました
当日はお天気にも恵まれ綺麗な夕日を見ながら最高の気分になりました
また参加したいと思えるアクティビティですね！

My husband and I booked this cruise during our stay in Hawaii in December. I wasn't sure what to expect. The crew were very polite and very accommodating! The ride was relatively calm and very enjoyable. The fireworks were spectacular! I would recommend for anyone who has the opportunity to do this cruise to take advantage of it!

How wonderful sailing around Waikiki. Staff were so welcoming, I highly recommend this activity

This dinner cruise was excellent. I recommend doing this for everyone. I would definetly do it again.

It was a great time. It got extremely hot. After we asked the waiter to open one of the windows he opened ours which helped a lot other then everyone came to our window to take pictures because it was the only window ope. Food was amazing tho and the service was awesome. I just think they should keep all the windows open. I would recommend this dinner to everyone

This was so much fun! Although we couldn't see the sunset because of the distant clouds, the sky above was clear, and we enjoyed a lively atmosphere on the boat, delicious Mai Tais, quite a bit of speed, and thrilling near misses with other boats! It was a very satisfying 90 minutes. The departure from Waikiki Beach made it easily accessible. Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is definitely not to be missed! Thank you very much.

これ、とっても楽しかったです！遠くの雲にじゃまされてサンセットこそ見れませんでしたが頭上は晴天で、賑やかな船上・おいしいマイタイ・けっこうなスピード・他の船とのスリリングなニアミス！と、大満足の９０分でした。ワイキキビーチから出航なのでアクセスも良かった。海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドはやっぱり見逃せませんね～　ありがとうございました。

The guys running the catamaran were friendly and fun, and the cruise itself was beautiful and relaxing (once you get used to the movement of the boat). Was very easy to chat with other people and make friends on the boat. If I ever get back to Waikiki, I'll absolutely be on the Holokai again! Thanks for a fun time!

I spent a blissful time blessed with good weather, wind, and waves. The view of Waikiki from the sea, along with Diamond Head, revealed a different side of Waikiki. The sunset was also very beautiful, and I had a dreamlike experience. I highly recommend it.

天気と風と波に恵まれた至福のの時間を過ごしました。海からみるワイキキの風景、ダイヤモンドヘッド、そこにはいつもと違うワイキキがありました。サンセットもとても美しく、夢のような時間を送りました。ぜひ、おすすめします。

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews, but it was an absolutely amazing location and a fun time! I had been on a large boat before, but this cruiser vibe unique to Hawaii was just the best.

口コミが少なくて不安でしたが 全然最高のロケーションかつ楽しいひとときでした‼️
大きい船は前に乗りましたが 自分はハワイならではのこのクルーザー雰囲気といい 最高でした

I watched this show when it first opened with another friend, and it seemed that some of the cast had changed, but I still enjoyed it. The friends I traveled with this time were visiting Hawaii for the first time and said they were happy and had a great time.

このショーが オープニングしたばかりの時にも 別の友人と見ましたが
出演者？も 多少入れ替わったようでしたが 変わらず楽しめました。
今回 同行した友人達は ハワイ初めてで 喜んで 楽しかったと言っていました。

Good food, had all you can eat crab leg and steak. Great music and entertainment. Perfect sunset and view of the city. Well worth money. I would do it again

By far one of the better things done while in Oahu!

Wow what a great show. Luau and ledgends so much fun! I highly recomend for the whole family.

Hubby and I came to Hawaii for our 30th anniversary. Perfect way to spend our Friday night. Views were awesome as was the crew. Enjoyed the food as well.

Such a great day out on the boat with the friendly staff. The cocktails were thoroughly enjoyed and the views were incredible. Amazing!
Thanks Ryan and Dave !!

This is my eighth trip to Hawaii, but this was my first time using this service. I signed up thinking it would be a light sailing experience, but it was even more enjoyable than I imagined. First, we went out to sea with the engine, and after turning it off, we raised the yacht's canopy and sailed using only the wind. It was surprisingly fast and refreshing. The original cocktail made by the staff was also quite delicious. My colleague who joined me was thrilled, and it has become a tour we will definitely repeat. If I go again next year, I would love to participate.

ハワイ旅行は８回目ですが、今回初めて利用させてもらいました。軽いセーリング気分で申し込んだのですが、想像以上に楽しめました。まずエンジン駆動で沖まで出て、エンジンを切ったあとヨットの幌を上げて風のみで航行するのですが、思った以上にスピード感もあり、爽快です。スタッフさんが作ってくれたオリジナルカクテルも中々おいしかったです。一緒に参加した同僚も感激しており、リピート確定ツアーになりました。また来年行くことがあれば、ぜひ参加したいと思います。

We had an amazing time. First time doing this. Crew was amazing. I would recommend to everyone.

I boarded the ship alone while my wife saw me off (laughs). The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was incredibly beautiful and moving. I want to go again soon!

一人で乗船、家内は見送り(笑)海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは大変美しく感動しました。また直ぐにでも乗りたいです‼

The time spent on the boat was too long. In the second half, it seemed like everyone—foreigners, Japanese, and Koreans—was struggling. Since we had been drinking a lot, there were no restrooms on the boat when we needed to go. When we returned to the sandy beach, everyone dashed back.

船に乗っている時間が長すぎです。
後半は外国人？日本人？韓国人？みんな辛そうでした。
何杯も飲んでいるのでトイレに行きたくなっても船にはありません。
砂浜に帰ってき時は、全員猛ダッシュでした。

Amazing views, staff was very fun and friendly and the drinks were delicious. Best value sunset cruise in Waikiki

We went on the Friday night fireworks cruise. It was great! Then we were told unlimited booze. What a great surprise! Great crew and great music all made for a fun time. Oh, the fireworks were good too!

This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.

I joined this by my self.
The clue were really sweet and nice. And of corse the sunset was really gorgeous !
I like the dress cord was barefoot:)
It was my favorite experience in Honolulu.

When I went to Hawaii before, I thought, "I definitely want to ride this next time!" and made a reservation from Japan.
We boarded during sunset, and the atmosphere was great. The spot for watching the fireworks was perfect, making it a wonderful memory!
There's an all-you-can-drink cocktail option, but there are no restrooms, so be careful not to drink too much. Also, it gets cold after the sun sets, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

以前ハワイに行ったときに、次は絶対に乗りたい！と思い日本から予約していきました◎
夕暮れに乗船し雰囲気もよく花火をみる場所もバッチリなのでいい思い出になりました！
カクテル飲み放題ですが、トイレがありませんので飲みすぎは禁物です。あと、日が落ちると寒いので薄手の上着を持参しておいた方がいいです。

During the first time, there were hardly any Japanese people, and the music was lively, which made it very enjoyable. However, this time it was more crowded and a laid-back cruise. I think this was good in its own way! However, the $20 for the photos taken before boarding is way too expensive.

１回目の時は日本人がほとんどおらず、音楽もノリの良い曲をかけてくれたのでとても楽しかったのですが、今回は人も多くマッタリしたクルーズでした。
これはこれで良かったと思います！
ただ、乗船前に撮った写真が20ドルって高すぎる。

Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!

Went with my wife and the boat was really nice and the crew was great. Got us is in perfect position to see the fireworks. The food they provided was terrible, barely edible Chinese food. Would have been better off not having food on the boat at all.

Viewing Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle, the ever-changing colors of the ocean—everything was just the best scenery! The ride was quite bumpy, and while it was fun at first, I started to feel a bit nauseous… I think a shorter duration would be better, but I enjoyed it at a reasonable price, so it was worth it.

いつもと違う角度から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド、どんどん変わっていく海の色、とにかく最高の景色でした！途中揺れが凄くて、初めはそれも楽しかったのですが…少し気持ちが悪くなりました…。もう少し短い時間でもいいかなと思いますが、お手頃な値段で楽しめたのでよかったです。
