All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

In London, I love musicals, and in Paris, I enjoy cabaret shows. This time, I went without any prior knowledge, but it was incredibly fun. When we went, the lineup included Elvis, Michael, Madonna, and Britney. When Elvis first appeared, it was so similar that I burst out laughing. As for whether to sign up for the green room tour... I'm not sure. The seats were definitely in the front row, and it was fun to see the stage setup in advance. However, the quality of the welcome drink was a bit lacking, haha.

ロンドンではミュージカル、パリではキャバレー通いのショー好きな私。今回、予備知識なしに行ってみたけれど、サイコ―に楽しかった。私たちが行ったときにはエルビス、マイケル、マドンナ、ブリトニーのラインナップ。最初にエルビスが登場したときは似すぎて爆笑でした。グリーンルームのツアーで申し込むべきか否かは…どうかなー。確かに座席は最前列だったし、舞台装置が事前に見られるのも楽しかった。でもウェルカムドリンクの質は、イマイチでしたよｗ。

What a night! It took 46 years of marriage to finally get to Hawaii and enjoyed it to the fullest including the romantic cruise watching the fireworks. Perfect night weather and sea conditions. Beautiful shorline with the colorful night lights. Can't wait to return...hopefully sooner than 46 more years!

nice and relaxing, wish it was a little longer. Drink and crew were very good. Had a lot of fun.

I made a reservation for Sunset based on a friend's recommendation. I was surprised to see that we were the only Japanese people among a crowd of foreigners. As the boat moved further away from the island, it looked like rain was already coming from the clouds toward the island.

Please!!! Don’t rain! Don’t hide behind the clouds!!

I desperately wished for it, and my wish was granted; I was able to witness the sunset. I really wanted to go since it was highly recommended, and I was so glad I could participate on the last day! It felt completely foreign, but sharing the beautiful scenery transcended national boundaries! In fact, there were even some people who started dancing cheerfully and approached me to chat, despite being strangers.

It was truly memorable. When I saw the last sunset, tears came to my eyes without me realizing it.

Thank you for a wonderful time!!!

知り合いのオススメでサンセットを予約しました。
ビックリするくらい周りは外人だらけで、日本人はうちら2人。
船はどんどん島を離れながら
雲がかって島の方は雨がもう来てるだろうってとこで

お願い！！！
降らないでー！
雲に隠れないでー！！
必死に願い、

そして願いは届き、ちゃんと日の入りを見届けることができました。
オススメされていた分どうしても行きたくって、最終日に何とか参加でき、本当によかった！
完全にアウェイでしたが、それでも綺麗な景色を共有する気持ちは国は関係ないですね！
むしろ、陽気に踊り出す方も居たりして
隔たりなく初対面でも話しかけてくれたりして。

とっても思い出に残りました。
最後の夕日を見た時は勝手に涙が出てきました。

素敵な時間をありがとうございました！！！

The meeting place was a bit hard to find. When the time came, there were a lot of people lined up, but there were few Japanese. Once we started, they were talking a lot in English, but it felt like a "Yeah!" kind of atmosphere. There was an all-you-can-drink option for Mai Tais, beer, and wine, and I had a Mai Tai. Even though it was all-you-can-drink, I noticed that most foreign guests casually tipped when they ordered more, which I thought was a smart way to drink. The sunset and the view of Waikiki Beach from the sea were also wonderful. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to participate again. Also, before boarding, taking a photo cost $15 for those who wanted to buy it when disembarking.

集合場所がちょっと分かりにくかったですね。時間になるとたくさん並んでいましたが日本の方は少なかったです。乗り始めると英語でどんどん話してますが、なんとなく雰囲気でイェーって感じ。マイタイ、ビール、ワインなど飲み放題で、マイタイを頂きました。飲み放題ですがおかわりの時、外国の方（殆ど）さりげなくチップを渡してましたよ、なるほどスマートな飲み方だと思いました。夕日も、海から見えるワイキキビーチも素晴らしかったです。次に行くことがあったら、また参加したいと思ってます。あと、乗る前に写真を撮り、下船の時買う人は１５㌦でした。

I forgot my "age" (laughs). The friend I went with is from the Presley generation (in their 60s), while I'm from the Michael generation (in my 50s). I was the first to welcome Presley and take a commemorative photo, and my friend was already teary-eyed. The show started with Presley coming out while rowing a boat, and once again, there were tears. I don't know much about Presley, so I wasn't as moved. However, when Lady Gaga appeared as the second performer, I was completely knocked out (I own all her CDs) and got into the groove with the music. I couldn't hear the silence around me, and even though I didn't know the real Gaga, I found myself shouting "Gaga! Gaga!" Next was Michael Jackson! I was convinced that Michael is truly alive. After all, right in front of me is Michael, no matter what anyone says. His bold dancing was infused with delicate emotional expression, and this time I became teary-eyed. Amazing!! This is what applause and cheers are all about. This was my second trip to Hawaii, but my first visit was 25 years ago, and I don't think there was a show this wonderful back then. I'm really glad I went. It has become a treasure in my heart. After returning home, I've been bragging to my other friends. I think it's a must-see when you go to Hawaii. It was so much fun—I feel like I've rejuvenated. Thank you very much!!

私、自分の「歳」を忘れてしまいました（笑）
一緒に行った友達はプレスリー世代（６０代）
私はマイケル世代（５０代）で一番最初にプレスリーのお出迎え＆記念写真を撮ってもらい友達は既に涙目状態ウルウルでした。ショーはプレスリーが船を漕ぎながら出て来てまたもや涙涙。私はあまりプレスリーを知らないので感動がイマイチ。しかし２番手のガガ様の登場で私は完全にノックアウト状態になり（彼女のＣＤ全て保有）曲に合わせてノリノリになりました。まわりの静止も耳には入らず本物のガガ様を知らない私ですがガガ！ガガ！と叫んでしまいました。続いてはマイケルジャクソン！マイケルって本当は生きていると確信しました。だって私の目の前にいるのは誰が何と云おうとマイケルだからです。彼の大胆なダンスの中に繊細な感情表現が浸透していて今度は私が涙目ウルウルになりました。素晴らしい！！拍手喝采とはこの事です。ハワイへは２度目ですが最初の渡ハは２５年も前でしてこんなに素晴らしいショーは無かったと思います。
本当に行って良かったです。私の心の中の宝物になりました。帰国後も他のお友達に自慢しまくっています。ハワイに行ったら絶対外せないと思います。
楽しかった～　　なんだか若返ったようです。ありがとうございました！！

We had a great time on our sunset cruise! The staff were friendly and helpful, and although the cruise set off a little late this had no impact on our evening. We would highly recommend this activity when in Waikiki, I think it is a 'must do'.

We headed to the location by rental car, but we were running late. However, seeing that we were in a hurry, the boat staff waited for us a little. Onboard, there were many families, and when the boat started moving, it felt a bit chilly, but once we entered the cabin, it was fine. The fireworks were very beautiful. Although they weren't as powerful as I expected, the view of Waikiki was stunning.

レンタカーで、現地まで向かったが、出発時刻より、時間が過ぎていた。
しかし、急いでいる私たちを見て、船のスタッフが少し待ってくれました。
船上は、家族連れもたくさんいて、船が動きだすと、少し肌寒く感じましたが、船内に入れば、問題無し。花火は、とてもきれいでした。
思っていたより花火に迫力がなかったですが、ワイキキが見渡せて、とてもきれいでした。

I went to Hawaii for the first time with my parents and my wife.

At first, I was worried because the meeting place was only written as "by the ocean at Outrigger," and I didn't know exactly where to gather. After asking various people on the beach, I found out that it was the "Island Magic" boat. The coupon only had the operating company's name, "Welakahao Catamaran Inc. dba Waikiki Beach Sailing," and hardly anyone knew it by that name.

Initially, I was anxious as I wandered around, but in the end, it was a very enjoyable cruise. Since it was Friday, the day of the regular fireworks show, I was torn between the fireworks cruise and the sunset cruise. However, the sunset cruise was definitely more interesting as I could enjoy the beautiful scenery while feeling the nice breeze. I watched the fireworks leisurely on the beach after the cruise, but since they only lasted about five minutes, it might not have been necessary to go out into the dark sea.

We were the only Japanese people there, and the other guests were mostly Western tourists. Basically, all the instructions and announcements were in English, but there was no need to worry too much. The crew members were very cheerful and kind.

There was an all-you-can-drink service, and all the guests were drinking quite a bit, but even just one drink was enough to enjoy the scenery and the relaxed atmosphere.

初ハワイで父母＆嫁と行ってきました。

最初、集合場所がアウトリガーの海側とだけ書いてあって実際どこに集まればいいのかわからず、心配しました。ビーチの人にいろいろ尋ねたところ"Island Magic"号という名前だということが判明。クーポンには運営会社の名前"Welakahao Catamaran Inc. dba Waikiki Beach Sailing "しか書いておらず、この名前で知っている人はほとんどいませんでした。

初めはあちらこちら回って心配しましたが、結果としてはとても楽しいクルーズでした。恒例の花火大会がある金曜ということもあり、花火クルーズにするか迷いましたが、サンセットクルーズのほうが気持ちいい風に打たれながら景色も楽しめて断然面白いです。花火はクルーズ後にビーチでゆっくり見ましたが、５分くらいしかなかったんでわざわざ暗闇の海に出る必要は無いかも。

日本人は私たちだけで、お客さんは欧米系の観光客ばかり。基本的に指示や案内はすべて英語ですが、あまり心配する必要はありません。船乗りさんはとっても陽気で親切な方でした。

飲み放題サービスもあってお客さんはみなさんガバガバ飲んでいましたが、一杯だけでも景色とリラックスした雰囲気でお腹いっぱいになりました。

A few days ago, due to the impact of the hurricane, I was unsure if the luau would take place, but it was eventually confirmed. I went in a good mood, but it started to rain... I ended up eating dinner under a towel provided by the hotel. This kind of experience is something you can't have in Japan, and the food was quite delicious, so it was fun in its own way. However, the seating was not what you would expect from something called "premier." While we were close to the stage, we ended up in a spot with steps that obstructed the view, which was disappointing since I was really looking forward to the hula. I thought sitting further back in the center would have been better.

My biggest complaint, though, is about the photos! I mentioned that I had my eyes closed, but they assured me it was fine. I felt suspicious but went along with it, only to find that the final product was indeed a photo with my eyes closed. It was a keepsake, and since we were in it, I ended up buying it, but it was terrible! This was the only chance I had to see this luau, so I reluctantly purchased it, but it felt like a rip-off. I probably won't go again!

数日前のハリケーンの影響なのか、知人情報によると催行されるのかどうなのかと朝から検討中だったルアウ。結局なんとか催行される事になった。ごきげんで行ったが途中から雨が・・・。雨の中でホテルが提供してくれたバスタオルをかぶりディナーを食べていた。こんな経験は日本ではできないので、料理もなかなか美味しいしこれはこれで楽しかった。ただ、席についてはプレミアと名乗るようなものではなく、舞台の近くではあるのだが、私たちは運が悪いのかステップのあるところで邪魔になってしまい、フラをとても楽しみにしていたのに残念だった。これなら正面の後ろのほうがまだましなのではと思った。あと最大の不満は写真！目をつぶってしまったと言ったのに確認してくれて大丈夫と言われ、不審に思って引き下がったが、できあがったのはやはり目をつぶったものだった。記念だし、自分たちが写っているから買っちゃったけど、とにかくあれはひどい！今回はこのルアウしか見るチャンスが無かったから仕方なく買ったけどあれはぼったくりとしか言いようが無い。たぶんこれにはもう行かない！

an exceptional show great seating lovely food everyone enjoyed highly recommend

I was a bit troubled because there was no one who could speak Japanese, and I wasn't sure where the reception was or if I should just wait here. There were no other Japanese participants either.
However, once we set sail on the boat, the breeze was very pleasant and it was amazing.
I recommend departing in the evening; I think the sunlight is too harsh during the day.
Beer and soft drinks are all-you-can-drink. Japanese is not understood.

日本語が話せる人がいなくて受付もどこにあるのかここで待ってればいいのかちょっと困りました。参加者も日本人があおませんでした。
でも実際に船で海に出発するととても風が気持ちよくて最高でした。
夕方出発がオススメです。お昼は日差しがキツすぎると思います。
ビールもソフトドリンクも飲み放題です。日本語は通じません。。

This is a great family activity and everyone to enjoy.

It was a trip with my daughter, and this was my first trip to Hawaii.

Since I don't know if I'll have another opportunity, I wanted to make sure I had no regrets, so I researched several "Hawaiian dance shows" and decided on this one.

The seats I chose were premium seats, which are naturally more expensive than general seating, but the location of the show and the dining arrangements were always prioritized, allowing me to gain satisfaction beyond the price.

The dance performances were enjoyable, with the professional dancers showcasing beautiful and refined techniques.

The host's skillful storytelling and ability to energize the atmosphere made the experience fun. The nearly three-hour show was entertaining and never boring.

On the way back, I had a memorable two-shot photo with a beautiful hula dancer. The premium seats are about 4,000 to 5,000 yen more than general seats, but considering the location and the privileged service, I highly recommend the premium seats.

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend the premium seats. Enjoy!

娘との旅行でしたが、今回が私にとって初のハワイ旅行です。

これから機会があるかどうかはわかりませんので、せいぜい悔いのないようにしたいと見たい「ハワイのダンスショー」もいくつか案内と内容を調べ、このショーに決めました。

選択したシートはプレミアシートで一般よりは当然高いのですが、
ショーを観劇する場所といい、食事の案内といい常に優先されて、
価格以上の満足感を得ることができました。

ショーのダンスも楽しく、プロの踊りはきれいで美しく
そして鍛えられた技を見せてくれます。

司会者の巧みな話術や盛り上げ方など楽しく場面を盛り上げてくれます。
３時間近くのショーは楽しく決して見あきることはありませんでした。

帰りにはきれいなフラ姿のお嬢さんとツーショット撮影も記念になりました。
プレミアシートの席は一般席より４~５千円ぐらい高いのでしょうが、
席の場所、優遇されたサービスを考えればお勧めのプレミアムシートです。

これから、感激されるならプレミアムシートをぜひお勧めします。
楽しんでください。

I had a great time on this trip. We were running a bit late due to a road being closed,but that didn't seem to be an issue. I liked that they called to confirm that we were still coming. The crew was great and pretty much left us to just enjoy the ride after they went through safety and other useful instructions.

We went out a decent ways but not too far out to hit the really rough waters (granted I like big waves so I would have been fine with the rougher waters). If there was any interesting wild life, they pointed it out so everyone could see.There's a drink bar. I didn't really use this for anything beyond soda. I did buy one of their cups and still think it was worth it. It's a useful cup. As for space on the boat, there was never an issue with not having enough room to look out over the railing.

Things my husband and I enjoyed about the trip:
> The view - it was quite beautiful
> The fact that it was simple - we really didn't want to do a dinner cruise or be out on a giant boat. All we wanted was to get out on the water and enjoy the view and this was absolutely perfect for that.
> Meeting new people - we had several good conversations with the people on the boat. I rather enjoyed this and it made the trip that much better.
> Sitting on the netting - it was really neat to watch the water through the netting (also comfortable to sit on)

Over all it was a very excellent experience and was exactly what we wanted. I would have been happy spending all day out on the boat. If I ever end back up in the area, I would use them again.

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The ship was bigger than I expected. Well, it was quite crowded. I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly. At times, it rocked quite a bit, and I thought I might get seasick if it lasted too long. The view from the sea, including Diamond Head, was wonderful.

初めてのハワイで参加しました。
思っていたより船も大きかったです。まぁ、ぎゅうぎゅうに乗ってましたけど。
ゆっくりサンセットも拝むことが出来ました。
時々、かなり揺れて、長時間だと酔ってしまうかなっと思いました。
沖からの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど、素晴らしかったです。

Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.

Good cruise but was disappointed that it stated Fireworks and they brought us back to land to watch it and not on the catamaran where we would have gotten a great view. Don't advertise fireworks and then don't deliver. We could have paid the lesser price and got the same thing. Just sayin!!

Originally I was planning to join sunset sailing, but it was full and jointed daytime sailing. It was one of the best experience while I was staying in Waikiki. Beautiful view and great time with fun crews

The entire family participated. The event was conducted entirely in English, and I thought that those who didn't understand English might not grasp the meaning very well. Still, we were able to have a reasonably enjoyable time. Since similar shows are held in various places, I think it would be good to compare them. If asked whether I would come here again, I think I would look for a different place. I thought the levels of Tahitian dance and hula dance were quite high. Regarding the seating, the premium option is good because it is close to the stage and allows you to go to the buffet first. Since the seats are not assigned, if you want a good spot, I recommend arriving a bit early to line up rather than just before the show starts. They offer body painting before the show, which was popular among children and women.

一族総出で参加しました。終始英語で司会進行され、英語が分からない人には意味がよくわからないのではないかと思いました。それでもそれなりに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。さまざまな場所で同じようなショーが行われているので、見比べてみるのも良いかと思います。次回ここに来るかと聞かれたら、私はまた違うところを探すと思います。タヒチアンダンス、フラダンスともにレベルは高いのでないかと思いました。シートについてはプレミアだと舞台近くであることと、ビュッフェを先に取に行ける点が良いですね。座席は指定席ではないので、良い位置でみたいのならば開始直前に行かれるのではなく、ちょっと早めに行って並ぶ方が良いと思います。
ショー開始前にボディーペイントを行っています。子供・女性に人気でした。

This is a great option for those that get sea sick! The boat was very smooth! Brandon our waiter was fantastic, and was a good laugh. Would recommend and go again

It was quite fun to be out at sea and feel the speed while sailing with the wind. I was able to see Diamond Head from offshore.

沖合に出てから風で走っているときのスピードが結構速く楽しかった。ダイヤモンドヘッドを沖合から見る事が出来た。

I board the cruise every time to enjoy the last sunset in Hawaii.

Usually, the calm waters of Waikiki are a delight, but this time the waves and wind were unusually strong, causing the boat to sway a bit. However, it was still an enjoyable cruise.

There were many people surfing off Waikiki, riding the big waves that reminded me of the North Shore. I also had plenty of Mai Tais.

The sunset was more beautiful than usual, and I was able to see various rays of sunlight. Although it wasn't a green flash, it was stunning enough to be etched in my memory.

Every time, I whisper to myself that I will come back to see it again, and I enjoyed the last sunset in Hawaii. The cruise staff was wonderful too! I will definitely use this service again.

毎回、ハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しむために、乗船します。
いつもは穏やかなワイキキの海が、珍しく波が強く風も強く、やや船は揺れましたが、それはそれで楽しいクルーズでした。
ワイキキ沖でサーフィンを楽しむ人たちが多く、ノースを思わせるような大きな波に楽しそうに乗っていました。
マイタイもまたまた、たくさんいただきました。
サンセットも、いつも以上にきれいに見え、太陽の様々な光を見ることができました。グリーンフラッシュとはいかずとも、目に焼き付くような美しさでした。
毎回、また見に来るね~と、心でつぶやいてハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しみました。
クルーズスタッフも素敵でした！！
また、必ず利用します。

We were the only Japanese people. When we arrived at the location, the small boat was completely different from what I had imagined. And there was a restaurant that looked like a ruin right next to it. At first, I felt really anxious. Is this okay? Is this the right place? But after completing the procedures, it seemed to be correct. Despite my worries, we started!!

The boat allowed us to feel the waves and wind, which was really pleasant! Since there were no other Japanese people, it really felt like we were overseas! It was a fun experience that you definitely can't have on a two or three-story boat. It was like an adventure! We were also able to see the fireworks clearly, which made me very satisfied. It was an incredibly casual night cruise with a great sense of openness. I'm very satisfied!

日本人は私たちのみ。現地に到着するとイメージしていた船とは全く異なる小さな船が。そして廃墟のようなレストランがすぐそばに。最初とっっっても不安になりました。これは、大丈夫か？と。合ってるの？
と。でも手続きをしたら合っている模様。不安になりながらもスタート！！
波と風を感じられる船でとっても気持ちが良い！日本人がいないので海外にきてるなー！という感じ。二階建てや三階建ての船では絶対に体験できない楽しさ。まるでadventure！花火もしっかりと見ることができ大満足。開放感抜群のカジュアルすぎるナイトクルーズ。満足です！

It seemed like the crew was bored to be there with us, they had no enthusiasm whatsoever. We paid $70/each for this cruise and did not even get to take a swim break. The 1st mate was the only one that would talk with us and that was only when we asked questions. The forward sail was torn and tatered, otherwise the boat was clean.
We were told we could leave items below deck so we would not get them wet. My wife left her shorts below and when we left she realized her lipstick and hand lotion had been taken out of her pocket. We could not beleive someone would steal personal items of no value. Unbelievalbe. Change the crew out find people that are excited to be there and care about your customers.
Luxury Afternoon Sail....no way did they meet their claim

We participated with a 2-year-old, a 5-year-old, mom, and grandma. The 2-year-old also enjoyed free drinks. They adjusted the alcohol for us, and we had delicious cocktails. The show was fun too. However, since it was cold, I recommend bringing warm clothing!

2歳児、5歳児、ママ、おばあちゃんで参加しました。
2歳児にもフリーでドリンクをいただきました。
アルコールも調整してくれて、美味しいカクテルをいただきました。
ショーも楽しかったです。
ただ、寒いので、防寒着を持って行かれることをオススメします！

For some reason, we were checked for ID, and since we didn't have our passports, we couldn't drink alcohol. It completely defeats the purpose of participating in a cocktail cruise if we can't drink. Moreover, the other participants weren't checked for ID, and it seems to depend on the crew's discretion, which is just unacceptable!

なぜかIDチェックをされて、パスポートを持っていなかった私たちはアルコール類を飲む事が出来ませんでした。カクテルクルーズなのに飲めないのでは参加した意味が全くありません。
また、周りの参加者にはIDチェックはしておらず、船員のさじ加減次第で決められてしまうなんてあり得ない！！

My daughter is at the age where she can travel, so this year I took my first solo trip to Hawaii. Since a sunset dinner cruise was a regular activity with my daughter, I looked for a cruise that I could enjoy alone and found the Mai Tai Catamaran Cruise. Staying at the Sheraton Waikiki made the meeting place convenient, and I was satisfied with the reasonable price. Among the approximately 30 passengers, there were only a few Japanese, including myself and an older couple, while there were two Korean girls. As expected, the Western guests seemed to really enjoy the cruising experience. You can also order Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks for an additional fee. I would recommend this cruise for those who want to enjoy a reasonable and fun cruising experience.

娘（noe）もお年頃と言うことで、今年初めてHawaii一人旅してきました。娘とはサンセットディナークルーズもお決まりのコースだったので、何か一人参加でも楽しめそうなクルーズはないか、と探し当てたのが今回のマイタイ・カタマランクルーズです。ステイ先もシエラトンワイキキなので集合場所も便利、またお値段もリーズナブルで満足しました。30名位の乗船客の内日本人は私と熟年ご夫婦、他にアジア系は二人連れの韓国gal、流石に欧米系の方達はノリもよくクルージングを楽しまれたようです。別料金でマイタイやビール、ソフトドリンクも頼めます。リーズナブルにクルージングを楽しみたい方にはお薦めできます。

The activity is about an hour and being such a wide vessel motion sickness is not an issue. The shoreline was amazing and the fireworks were nice. It is petty much what you'd expect being on a catamaran.

This time, I attended a dinner show for the first time in Waikiki.

It was a standard plan, but I was able to enjoy the dance performances and the food was reasonably delicious.

However, the time between receiving the welcome drink and going to the buffet was too long, which was quite exhausting.

Depending on the seating order, some guests were served a bit earlier, but it would have been better if they could have accommodated us sooner.

Since I had an alcoholic welcome drink, I ended up getting tipsy before going to get the food.

The show itself was very satisfying.

今回ディナーショーはワイキキで初めて行きました。

スタンダードのプランでしたが、
十分にダンスを知覚で見れて料理もそれなりに美味しくいただきました。

ただ、ウェルカムドリンクがきてから、ビュッフェをとりにいくまでの時間が長過ぎてしんどかったです。

席の順番によってはやや早い方もいましたが、もっと早めにたいおうしてもらえると良かったです。

アルコールいりのウェルカムドリンクをいただいたので、料理をとりにいくまでに酔っ払いました。。

ショー自体はとても満足のいくものでした。
