All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

The boat was quite rocky and the wind was cold, but the sunset was breathtaking! I really felt like I was in the great outdoors.

To be honest, the sunset was just average, but the dessert was delicious.

After finishing dinner, there was quite a long wait until the fireworks, but we ended on a high note with the fireworks! My 80-year-old mother was also very happy.

船は結構揺れて風も冷たかったですが、夕陽は圧巻でした！
大自然の中にいるなぁという感じです。
夕陽は正直、普通でしたが、デザートは美味しかったです。

夕食を食べ終え、花火まですごく時間が空いてしまうのですが、最後に花火で盛り上がりました！
80歳の母も喜んでくれました。

I had an amazing time! Cruise was fun! I've been to many dinner cruises on the island and the Navatek boat is indeed by far the smoothest ride I've ever been. We went during the Nagaoka Festival in Waikiki and the fireworks display was so outstanding, which made it more enjoyable and memorable for us!

The staff at the Ticket Desk were also very friendly. We got there 45-minutes early and Josh was very kind enough to answer the many questions I had while we were waiting. It wasn't their normal schedule that night and Josh was able to share their regular schedule with me, the transportation and check-in procedures, and wait times from boarding to departure.

As for the servers on the boat, they were okay but they could have been better! I would have preferred them to be more energetic and quicker. Our server that night seemed a little too tired and it also took us a while to get the drinks we ordered. Very good food though! The teriyaki garlic chicken was my favorite..yummmm!!!!

The Polynesian entertainment was good but I wish it was longer. They only performed three (3) different dances and that was it. The host and singer was also good, I like that she interact with the audience while singing but I wish she could have sang songs that are more familiar to the audience. I thought the songs were too old to be sung these days.

Something that I never expected though is the dancing at the end of the cruise! We danced the night away and that was so much fun! I loved it! I'm glad I took this trip as I didn't know this is also available at Navatek. I've always thought this to be more intimate, for couples celebrating their anniversaries or honeymooners who want a quiet and romantic moment but this can be for families or group of friends as well.

Thank you Navatek for allowing me and my family to enjoy your cruise!

Good time, reasonably priced, not much on the varity of drinks

We had an awesome moment having time with friends with a cocktail in front of the sunset. I will do it again in my next trip in waikiki, for sure!

We used this for a company trip with a total of 23 people. I think it was a great value cruise with a beautiful sunset and unlimited drinks. We were the only Japanese guests, and we enjoyed communicating with the international guests. However, a few people got seasick, which made for a tough time, and I regret that. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take some medication in advance.

総勢23名の社員旅行で利用しました。綺麗なサンセットとドリンクも飲み放題でとってもお得なクルージングだと思います。日本人客は私たちしかおらず、海外の方とコミュニケーションをとりながら楽しめました。ただ、数人船酔いしてしまい、辛い時間になってしまったことが悔やまれます。船酔いする方は前もって酔い止めなど飲むことをお勧めします。

great meal & entertainment
beautiful sunset & Friday Hilton fireworks
would recommend this to Hawaii travelers

While visiting the beautiful Island of Oahu, I started to reminisce of the last time I came here and it was for the last Michael Jackson performance back in the 90's. I was searching for a dinner and show activity and I was fortunate that I came across hawaiiactivities.com - Veltra because they have a 2 For 1 Review Rebate Special. I was traveling with my family, and so we booked for the Green Room & Dinner Show package. As we checked in at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, we were greeted with warm alohas from everyone working. We started on an amazing tour of the theater and got to see some of the marvelous collections of Elvis and Michael Jackson. The dinner was amazing, and the we had the cocktails coming all night long. The show was amazing! It brought back many fond memories of my teenage life growing up listening to Elvis. I was having many flashbacks as I was singing to all the songs and rocking the night away. But unlike many shows in Waikiki, Rock A Hula has something special and particular to their show which is... Hawaiian Performances. Hula dancers, chants, and acts that resembled Elvis's presence here in Hawaii while sharing the Aloha spirit. This show is highly recommended if you love old school pop and classical songs. Thank you Veltra & Stars of Paradise for this wonderful time I had.

It was a wonderful cruising experience, and I felt very good. You can feel the wind and waves much closer than on a large cruiser. If you come to Hawaii, you definitely should go on this.

素敵なクルージングで　とても気持ち良かったです。
大型のクルーザーより　風も波も近くに感じられます。
ハワイに来たなら　絶対乗るべきです。

I participated with two female friends. There were few Japanese people, and the staff communicated entirely in English, so the explanations were a bit lacking, but I could generally understand the atmosphere of the place. Even though I couldn't understand the words, I found myself laughing as everyone got excited. The sunset was beautiful! However, it was quite cold, and although there was an all-you-can-drink alcohol option, I couldn't drink that much. I realized that a thick hoodie is essential during this time of year.

女ともだち2人での参加です♪
日本人の人は少なく、スタッフの方もオールイングリッシュだったので説明などはいまいちでしたが、その場の雰囲気で大体わかりますし、みんながワーッと盛り上がっていたら言葉はわからないけど笑えてきました。笑
サンセットも綺麗でした！
が、どうにも寒くアルコールも飲み放題ですがそんなに飲めませんでした。この時期は厚手のパーカーなどが必須だなと実感しました。

Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I wanted to see a show nearby, so I participated. I think this is what a luau show is like, but I was disappointed that the buffet-style meal was not great.

ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジに泊まっていたので、近くでショーを見たいと思って参加しました。ルアウショーはこんなものなのかなと思いますが、ビュッフェ形式の食事がもう一つで残念でした。

I participated on the day of arrival.

Since I had the opportunity, I chose the Golden Circle, and it was definitely the right decision.

I was able to watch the show right up close to the stage, and it was incredibly powerful—I could even feel the warmth of the fire.

With the Golden Circle, in addition to receiving a shell lei upon entry, you also get a fresh flower lei, and you can go to the luau buffet with priority. It was definitely worth it just for the premium seating.

However, unfortunately, it was a very windy day, and it was quite cold, so it's advisable to bring a jacket.

I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food while experiencing Hawaiian culture.

到着日に参加しました。

せっかくだからと
ゴールデンサークルにしましたが
やはり大正解でした。

ステージのすぐ間際でショーを見られて
大迫力で、火の暖かさまで感じられるくらいでした。

ゴールデンサークルだと
入場の際に、シェルのレイのほか
生花のレイもかけてもらえるし、
ルアウのビュッフェも優先的に
取りに行くことができます。
プレミアムシートだけの価値はありました。

ただ、残念なことに
たいへん風の強い日で
かなり寒かったので
上着は持参されたほうがよいでしょう。

ハワイの文化を楽しみながら
おいしいお料理をいただけて
たいへん満喫しました。

Great time. Plenty of booze, great staff. We actually saw a humpback whale!! Highly recommended. Do the Friday sunset tour, then grab a drink at shore bird , and watch fireworks from the beach. Did I mention the humpback whale!

Highly recommended! The whole group bonded over whale watching and guava juice/rum libations. The crew was friendly, accommodating, and chill. Awesome experience!

Loved it. Kids lived it the entertainment was fun and the crab was endless.

did not make it out as it was too windy but company was great to deal with

I was finally able to ride the catamaran that I've wanted to try for a long time. Most of the people around me were foreigners, and there was no Japanese spoken, but even with my limited language skills, I had a great time! The crew was really nice! There are free drinks available, but be careful not to drink too much since there are no restrooms. Overall, I felt amazing. I will definitely do this again!

以前から乗りたかったカタマランに初めて乗ることができました。周りは殆どが外国の方で、日本語は無でしたが、片言しか話せない私でも十分！！楽しめました。クルーもかなりの、ｎｉｃｅ　ｇｕｙ！！！フリードリンクで飲み放題ですが、トイレはないので飲み過ぎに注意。取りあえず、気分は最高。また、リピートします！！

The dinner cruise was amazing and even though we had over cast of Vog and spinkles all day we still captured a beautiful sunset from the ships deck. The food was delicious and staff was wonderful - would highly recommend

We chose the buffet style, and it was a fun meal while enjoying live guitar performances and hula dancing.

After the meal, we were led to the venue where the show began.

Everything was performed live by the band and look-alikes singing, with an astonishingly high level of quality. It's completely different from Japanese comedy look-alikes. In between, there were hula dances arranged in a rock style. After the show, there was also a time for commemorative photos.

It was truly a worthwhile and enjoyable entertainment experience.

I would like to visit again when I go to Hawaii.

The VIP Green Room Dinner and Show was the ultimate Legends in concert experience. Before the dinner my wife and I had the opportunity to relax in the VIP section where the complimentary drink and snacks set the right tone for the evening. The Elvis impersonator was available to take pictures minutes prior to being seated a few feet from the stage. The main course was delicious. Wife said the Steak was excellent but didn't care for the Salmon. I enjoyed them both. The drink tickets were an added benefit to compliment an already wonderful dinner. The desert was a delicious and beautifully arrange. The show began at about 815PM and the ELVIS impersonator was an awesome entertainer. He did about 4 songs to open the show and really had us comfortable and enjoying the show. He came off the stage and greeted the guest in the VIP section and planted a kiss and lei on a few unsuspecting women, my wife being one of them. Then the Lady Gaga impersonator had an outstanding performance. She WOWed the crowd with a descending entrance from above the stage. She was very fitting for show and a joy to watch. The The Michael Jackson impersonator was to the letter dancing like Mike. Although he wasn't as vocal as the other performers, those classic Michael Jackson dance move had us clapping and snapping. There were several other performances between impersonators that were very well performed as well. The host, ELVIS, did a final stage appearance and the grand finale was epic. After the show we had the opportunity to take photos with the entertainers and consume more beverages. Just as we thought the night was complete, a young lady validated our parking and we only paid 8 dollars in the Royal Hawaiian Parking Garage. My wife enjoyed it so much she said she's coming back. It was actually the best stage performance I'd ever been to. From check-in to check-out the whole experience was over the top classic.

We liked this. There were very few food options. The crew were friendly and the view stunning.

Should have offered a soda with dinner. The complimentary Mai tai was nice.

If you are contemplating going, don't think - just book it! Rock-a-Hula is by far one of the more entertaining shows here on Oahu. You can only watch so many luaus before getting sick of them. If you enjoy Vegas shows, this is on the same scale. Also make sure to book the VIP backstage package. It was definitely worth having the show producer show us the entire stage, meet and greet with the crew, etc. - especially if anyone in your group is interested in theater. The food was several times greater than what we ate at other shows that cost more as well, with a 4-course surf and turf. The end dessert was delic'. The entire staff was very professional and you could tell they wanted you to really enjoy their performance as they must put a lot of work making the magic happen. My mother in law thought Elvis looked more handsome than the real deal. The mannerisms of all the characters were spot on. Bravo to the dancers, especially to the fire juggler. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of Hawaii's cultural aspects into the show for that local touch.

I went to the show with my parents and my husband. It was our first time in Hawaii, so we had little clue what to do, what to see and where to go. My parents found out about the show from some Korean TV show(they came from Korea) and told me about it, so I got the VIP tickets. We stayed in Waikiki so we could Walk to the theater.
The producer showed us the behind scene such as dressing rooms and even let us walk on the stage. There was a Hawaiian Flame show(I don't know the official name). It was actually my favorite part of the whole show. I was thrilled. I wanted to take a pictures with him but only the singers were out waiting for the photo time. That was disappointing.
There were a lot of Hawaiian dances. I thought the this Hawaiian dance part is something that I wouldn't be able to see in any other cities.
And "Michael Jackson" had the same nose job as the real Michael Jackson. Haha. His moon walk was great.
The dinner was served right before the show for about an hour and the food was very delicious. I was in the VIP seat so I was served the full course dinner. The dessert, molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was heavenly.
The only downside I thought about the show was the fewer numbers of the legend singers than I would like to see. I was expecting about five singers but it was 1 hour and 20 minutes show with three singers.
I was just glad that my mom loved the show. She doesn't speak English but music doesn't require languages. It is all about the showman ship and atmosphere.
Overall it was a good show and I recommend this show to everyone!

It was a great tour where I could enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea in a short time. Since we went quite far out, it was a bit rocky, and the splashes of water made it chilly, so it's necessary to wear long sleeves or take measures against the sea breeze. The boarding area was a little hard to find.

短い時間で、ホノルルの景色を海側から眺められて良いツアーでした。結構沖まで出るので揺れるし、水しぶきがかかったりするので冷えるし潮風対策もかねて長袖等は必要です。乗り場が少しわかりづらかったです。

The dance show lets you experience the Hawaiian vibe! The food is delicious too. However, there aren't many Japanese people there, so there is no support in Japanese.

ダンスショーはハワイ気分を味わえます！
料理も美味しいですよ。
ただ日本人はそこまで多くないので
日本語のフォローはないです。

Lovely cruise. Drinking champagne while watching a pair of humpback whales who just happened to show up "perform". The sunset was also nice. The staff and crew were fine and on time.

It was a great experience. I would like to do it again. great staff on board very well organised , and the show was amazing, good to see that great atmosphere. Thank you so much to give us that great night we will remember my 50th birthday.

You can enjoy sailing until sunset in the best location. However, while we were surrounded by lively foreigners enjoying the party atmosphere with Mai Tais, our family, being quiet Japanese, couldn't quite get into the mood... But after disembarking, we had all been holding it in, so everyone headed straight to the restroom at the Sheraton Hotel.

最高のロケーションで夕日が沈むまでのセイリングを満喫できます。
ただ、マイタイを飲みながらパーティー気分でノリノリの外国人の中で、無口な日本人の私たち家族はずっと雰囲気に乗り切れないままでしたが・・でも下船後はトイレを我慢していたので、全員がシェラトンホテルのトイレに直行でした。

I participated with a light-hearted desire to see hula dancing, but I enjoyed it even more than I had imagined! Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the powerful performance from the front row. The buffet was delicious as well. I was happy that the lei greeting used real orchids. I felt that the photos taken for commemorative purposes were a bit expensive, but overall it was a great experience!

フラダンスを見たいという軽い気持ちで参加しましたが想像してた以上に楽しめました！はやめにいったので最前列で大迫力のパフォーマンスを楽しめました。ビュッフェも美味しかったです。レイグリーティングも本物の蘭の花を使っておりうれしかったです。記念撮影した写真は少し高いなと感じましたが総じてよかったです！

We had a wonderful time, very entertaining! Would recommend to others.
