All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

I was drawn in by the reasonable price and participated, and it was really great! The staff seemed to not understand Japanese, but they were very considerate, and I felt a bit sorry about that. I don't understand much English, but I managed somehow. I think there were five of us Japanese: a mother and daughter, and three young women. The registration was at the beach behind the hotel, and more people kept joining on the day.

You can wear anything, even swimsuits! It's better if your pants are short (above the knee). Even though I'm not good at socializing with everyone, I felt very happy just gazing at the sea and the sunset.

Thank you so much to the staff for being considerate to the Japanese mother and daughter. I would love to participate again next time.

リーズナブルなお値段にひかれ参加しましたが　とてもよかったです！　スタッフの方も日本語はわからないようでしたが　とても気を使って下さり　申し訳ないほどです。英語はあまりわかりませんが何となく大丈夫でした。日本人は私たち親子（母娘）と3人の若い女性の5人だったと思います。ホテルの裏のビーチで受付をしていて当日参加でどんどん人が増えていきました。
服装は水着でも何でもＯＫ！　パンツは短いほうがいいです。（ひざ上の）
あまりみんなとワイワイするのが苦手の私もぼんやり海や夕日を眺めいてとても幸せな気分でした。
スタッフの方　日本人母娘に気を使ってくださり本当にありがとうございました。次回もまた参加したいです。

We went out to sea on a catamaran yacht from Waikiki Beach and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Plus, we had Mai Tais while doing it! It was such a pleasant experience. I would love to join this program again when I visit Hawaii!

ワイキキビーチから、カタマランヨットで沖に出て、キレイなサンセットを眺める。しかもマイタイを飲みながら！！
とても気持ちのよいプランでした~。
またハワイに行ったら、参加したいプログラムです！

The food wasn't as good as i expected, but i think you are mainly paying for the cruise. the mai tais were great! steak could have been cooked a little more. i dont like crab, but my boyfriend loved it! this is def a great activity for a little romance for couples for a nice evening.

My boyfriend and I went on the sunset cruise, and loved it. Thanks to the staff who were great and esspecially the bar man. We had read some reviews that some people felt because it was free drinks the bar man was a bit slow. Not at all the case. As soon as we put our empty shaker on our head he ran over and filled it up:)
Great cruise and we were treated to an awesome sunset. Thanks again guys we hope to do it again one day.
Also our cruise left at 5pm so a word of warning given that the drinks are free and the bar man so efficient (we were happy to tip for such a great service) do try to have an early dinner as we may have gotten a little carried away with drinking which is not a great idea on an empty tummy :)

Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.

最初に本来なら２日で回るところを１日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸１日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍２８年の日本人の方でとても優しく（言葉もよく通じるので）安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.

This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.

ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました！
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング）と歓迎イベント（レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン）があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

Like always this is well worth your time and money!! I've been on this 4 times and everytime is a awesome time. See you next time :)

Among the middle-aged foreigners, there were just the two of us Japanese (we're middle-aged too...). The speed was more thrilling than I expected. The foreigners were really into it, but we could barely keep up! I think young people would really enjoy it.

中年の外人さんの中に日本人は私たち二人（私たちも中年ですが・・・）。
思ったよりスピードが出ていてスリリングでした。
外人さんはノリノリでしたが私たちは付いていくのがやっと！
若者は楽しめると思いますよ。

The sunset is amazing! The vibe with the Americans is great too! The bartender is super handsome. It might be good to wear something like a swimsuit and sweatpants.

サンセット最高!米国人のノリも最高!バーテンダーさん、めっちゃイケメン。服装は水着にスエット程度がよいかもです。

It was my first time trying a catamaran. There are many types of catamarans, and we chose this one for our trip. Since we don't drink alcohol, we only had soft drinks, but the scenery was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and we had a wonderful time. There were very few Japanese people. You get quite wet, but that also became a fun memory.

初めてのカタマラン挑戦でした。何種類もあるカタマランから今回こちらを選びました。私たちはお酒が呑めないので、ソフトドリンクだけでしたが、景色も最高、ノリも最高で楽しい時間を過ごせました。日本人、めっちゃ少ないですよ。いっぱい濡れます。それも楽しい思い出になりました。

The entertainment on this dinner cruise was exceptional; there is so much culture, talent, and professional attention to detail! I really appreciate how dedicated the dancers and musician were to their crafts!

My son and daughter-in-law were celebrating their 28th Anniversary and I gave them this Sunset Dinner Cruise as a gift. They loved it - said food was great and the view of the sunset was awesome. They were able to get lots of beautiful pictures for their album. I would recommend this cruise for everyone. I regret not doing it for my husband and myself since we also were celebrating our 55th anniversary but I didn't want to intrude on their time.

The Sunset Dinner Cruise was a pleasant experience and we would recommend this event to anyone who would ask and/or we knew that were planning a visit to Oahu.

The food was served hot and was excellent. The entertainment was fair. The Cruise along the coast line was fantastic. The crew was courteous, professional, and informative.

Based on the time of the year, the only thing that I would recommend is that the dinner should start a little earlier so that you have more time on deck to view the sites and take a lot of photographs since night falls pretty quick.

Yes, we would do this again on our next trip to Oahu.

I went sightseeing in the morning, and after shopping in the afternoon, I joined this cruise. It was interesting to experience a catamaran rather than a regular yacht, so I'm glad I did. One hour felt just right for a cruise—not too long. The boat was quite luxurious. The view of the land from the sea was great, and the ocean was beautiful and refreshing. I really enjoyed it.

午前中に観光して、午後は買い物をした後、このクルーズに参加。普通のヨットでなく、カタマラン船というのも興味深かったので、体験できてよかったです。1時間というのもちょっとクルーズ、という感じで長すぎずよかったですね。なかなか豪華な船でした。沖から眺める陸の眺めもよかったし、海がきれいで気持ちよかった。なかなか楽しめました。

Overall, it was great. I had always wanted to ride on a catamaran since I was interested in its structure, and this cruise, which offered both fireworks and a sunset, seemed perfect, so I decided to go with this one. The food was delicious, and the boat was clean, which was nice. I had a lot of fun. The fireworks in Hawaii were just as splendid as those in Japan. This year, I missed the fireworks festival in Japan, so I was able to make up for it in Hawaii, and on top of that, I had the best experience with a cruise and meals included. I definitely want to participate again next time. I never get tired of it.

とにかくよかったです。カタマラン船の構造に興味があったので、１度は乗ってみようと思っていましたが、特に花火と夕陽をセットで見れるこちらのクルーズがよさそうだったので、こちらに決めました。食事もおいしかったし、船も清潔でよかったです。とても楽しめました。ハワイの花火も日本に負けず劣らず、とても華やかでよかったです。今年は日本の花火大会をのがしてしまったので、ハワイで挽回できて、しかもクルーズ船の上・食事付という、最高の体験ができました。
また次回も是非こちらに参加したいです。何度でも飽きませんね。

It was my first experience on a catamaran, and it was very comfortable. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the boat was amazing, and I was able to take postcard-like photos. The ocean was also very beautiful.

After finishing the morning sightseeing and taking a leisurely walk along the beach, I joined this cruise and then enjoyed some shopping. I feel that just adding this one-hour cruise made a huge difference in my satisfaction for the day. I'm glad I participated.

初めてのカタマラン船体験でしたが、とても乗り心地がよかったですね。船から見るダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキの景色が最高で、ポストカードのような写真が撮れましたし。海もとてもきれいでした。
午前の観光が終って、海辺とかゆっくり散歩した後にこのクルーズに参加、その後ショッピングを楽しみました。この1時間のクルーズが入るだけで、その日の満足度が全然違ったな~と思います。参加してよかったです。

It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.

今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした！ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火！船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

Actually, I had never been on a cruise before, and my first cruise turned out to be in Hawaii. I thought a smaller boat would be better than a big ship, so we discussed it and chose this cruise from the website. The catamaran also felt very Hawaiian.

It was my first experience feeling how nice it is to sail through the sea with the sea breeze. Looking at the land from the sea gave me a strange feeling, like, "Oh, I was just over there, and now I'm looking at it from the water." The crew members were very kind and made it enjoyable for us.

Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Next time, I definitely want to join a sunset cruise plan.

実は今までクルーズってしたことがなく、初めてのクルーズがハワイになってしまったんです。大きな船よりも小さいボートっぽいのがいいな、と思ってみんなで相談してホームページからこのクルーズを選びました。カタマラン船っていうのもハワイっぽかったし。
潮風を受けて海を進むのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて初めての体験でした。海から陸を眺めるのも、「ああ、さっきまであそこにいたのに、今は海から眺めているんだな」って不思議な感覚でした。船員のスタッフの方々がとても親切で楽しませてくれました。
あっという間に１時間が経ってしまいました。
今度は是非夕日を眺めるクルーズプランに参加したいです。

I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!

The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!

初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動！
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした！

サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです！

I participated on the same day I arrived in Hawaii. The flight was long, so I was a bit tired, but the refreshing sea breeze and the beautiful ocean completely blew away my fatigue.

I was glad to enjoy the Hawaiian sea on the cruise right after arriving in Hawaii. The staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere.

The cleanliness and beauty of the ship (maybe it was new?) also left a good impression.

Overall, everything was great.

ハワイに到着したその日に参加しました。飛行機が長かったので、少々疲れていましたが、潮風が気持ちよく、海がキレイだったので、すっかり疲れも吹っ飛びました。
ハワイに行ってまずクルーズでハワイの海を楽しめてよかったです。
スタッフの方々が明るくて盛り上げてくれたのも、楽しめました。

船が清潔できれいだった（新しいのかな？）のも、好印象でした。

とにかく全てにおいてよかったです。

I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.

I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.

We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.

And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.

申し込んで正解、最高でした。

ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。

沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。

そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。

The blue sea and the blue sky! It was the best day. I actually thought a sunset cruise would be nice, but due to scheduling, I ended up going with this one. But it was great!

Believe it or not, I saw dolphins! While I was gazing at the sea, I spotted them below... I was so excited! A sea with wild dolphins swimming is truly wonderful! I'm really glad I signed up. The view of Hawaii from the sea was also very beautiful, and even though it was just a one-hour cruise, I felt very fulfilled.

Next time, I want to sign up for a sunset cruise as well. I hope the captain is the same as this time...

青い海に青い空！最高の日でした。本当はサンセットクルーズもいいな、と思ったのですが、予定の関係で、こちらになりました。でも、よかったんです！
なんと、イルカが見えたんです！
海を眺めていたら、下の方をすーっと…
もう大興奮でした！野生のイルカが泳ぐ海なんて、ホント、すてきですね！
申し込んでよかったーって思いました。海の上から眺めるハワイの景色もとってもきれいで、たった１時間のクルーズなのに、充実した気持ちでした。
今度はサンセットクルーズも申し込みたいです。その時も、今回と同じキャプテンだと嬉しいな…。

I had so much fun that it didn't feel like just an hour. The Hawaiian sea, with its waves felt so close, was incredibly beautiful, and looking at Waikiki Beach from the water felt strangely wonderful. It was my first time on a catamaran, and it felt like a very stable boat, making for a comfortable ride. Honestly, I wished I could have stayed out on the water forever.

とても１時間とは思えないくらい楽しかったです。
波を近くに感じて進むハワイの海はとてもきれいで、ワイキキのビーチを海から眺めるのも何だか不思議な気持ちがしました。
カタマラン船というのも初めて乗りましたが、安定感があるボートっていう感じで、乗り心地もよかったですね。
本当はずっと海の上にいたいくらいでした。

I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.

The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.

The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!

Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.

せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。

海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。

船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね！

ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and it was amazing. I'm so glad I signed up!! The sunset over the Hawaiian sea was so moving that I felt like I could cry. As I was savoring my happiness, there were fireworks next... I couldn't help but wonder if I could be this happy... and tears came to my eyes. It’s a memory I will never forget. The food was delicious too!

初めてのハワイでしたが、最高でした。申し込んでよかったです！！
ハワイの海のサンセットは、感動で涙が出そうでした。幸せをかみしめていたら、今度は花火が…。こんなに幸せでいいのだろうか…と涙が出てしまいました。一生忘れられない思い出です。食事もおいしかったです！

Great value & most enjoyable! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time :)

My fiance and I had a great time on this cruise. The sailboat was beautiful, the staff was awesome! The food was delicious. Good music. Beautiful sunset.... We even saw dolphins! We plan on doing other activities hosted by this crew.

what a fun time we had the food was very good.the show you cant miss this one,the service was excellent ,the sunset awsome.do not let this dinner cruise get away from you.....mahalo al n kathie becker

We have been on several dinner cruises in the Chicago area. This cruise was by far the best. It was a perfect way to finish up our vacation. The meal was very good. The crew was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was alot of fun - I wish that part of the experience lasted longer. We were just getting into the groove when the boat pulled into the dock.
Well worth the money.

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif
