The weather is awesome! I got to see a group of honu (sea turtles) and dolphins, which was amazing! I enjoyed plenty of Waikiki and also got to see Diamond Head, which was fantastic!

天気☀️もサイコー！
ホヌ、イルカの群れにも会え、サイコー！
たっぷりワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見れサイコー！

- That was a great show! Excited about every performance. Delicious food with plenty of choices. The staff is welcoming, adorable, smiles all around, and polite to every customer.
- I love the performance! The stage acts are fantastic, and every actor performs so well. The singing is incredibly beautiful
- A place near the accommodation, convenient to travel to, and easy to find parking.
- My husband and I will definitely come back to use the service again, and we'll bring our family along next time.

I enjoyed both the buffet and the show from start to finish. There were some songs I didn't know, but the interaction with the audience during the show really made me feel like I was in a foreign country! I had a great time even by myself!

ビュッフェもショーも最初から最後まで楽しみました。知らない曲もありましたが、ショーでの観客とのやり取りとか、ああ外国に来たなぁという感じが満載でした！1人でも楽しめました！

Its our first time to travel to hawaii and attending a luau is for sure one of the things we want to try! I came across online this activity and booked it right away. We had it last night and all i can say was just WOW!!!!! LITERALLY WOW! Me and my husband did the Rock a Lua in the heart of waikiki, Just few steps aways from our hotel. We were greeted with sweet smiles of the reception and entertainers and sent to our table, The set up is good on the dining area, And come to the buffet set up it was all Gooooood!!! Also with the Roasted Pig? Omg! It was so goooooood especially the skin part! The welcome to dinner buffet and the performances in between was just really entertaining! We come to the performance time to the theater and its SPECTACULAR!!! we didnt expect that the show was like that, not the usual show but a lot of performances from singing to dancing with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Hahahahah that was the main show! Its kinda scary but at the same thing all of our jaw dropped! Its a jow dropping show and performances. The Dances were really good too, the band, the set up. Basically everything it was a lively and very entertaining show. Id do it over and over again if given a chance! THE WHOLE BUFFET AND SHOW WAS A SPOT ON!!! ITS WAS REALLY GOOD!

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。

I have relied on Mai Tai Yacht many times before. It's easy to find since it departs from in front of the Sheraton, and above all, the boat is beautiful, clean, and "looks cool," which makes it one of my favorites.

Usually, on the afternoon of the day I arrive, I make it a tradition to feel "I've come to Hawaii!!" by greeting the full view of Waikiki and Hawaii's symbol, Diamond Head, from across the sea. However, watching the fireworks and the atmosphere of the night sea was "exceptionally wonderful!!!!" It became the most memorable event of this trip.

During the fireworks, cheerful music played, and everyone was excited, cheering loudly. After that, the boat slowly made its way towards Diamond Head, and the gentle night breeze felt pleasant on my skin. The dark silhouette of Diamond Head was overwhelmingly impressive, and the sparkling cityscape of Waikiki in the distance was beautiful. I was able to relax completely, filled with a sense of liberation.

Looking up at the night sky at that moment, I was able to do some stargazing and even saw the "Big Dipper," which was an emotional joy. The Mai Tai cocktail here was delicious, and I ordered several refills (the cups are cute too). The cocktail boy served them with a big smile, which is another happy memory.

Additionally, you can safely store flip-flops and personal belongings in the box behind the seat. I will definitely make a reservation again next time. Mahalo☆彡

マイタイヨットは、これまでに何度もお世話になっています。シェラトン前から出航するのでわかりやすいのと、何より船が綺麗で清潔で「見た目がカッコいい」のでお気に入りです。
普段は到着した日の午後いちに「ハワイに来た!!」を感じるべく、海の向こうからワイキキ全貌とハワイのシンボルダイヤモンドヘッドに挨拶をするのがお決まりなのですが、花火鑑賞と夜の海の雰囲気たるや「格別に素晴らしく！！！！」今回の旅行での一番の思い出に残るイベントになりました。
花火鑑賞中は陽気な音楽が流れて皆さんヒューヒュー言って大盛り上がりでした。
その後は、ダイヤモンドヘッド側へゆっくり長い時間をかけて船を走らせてくれるのですが、静かな夜風が肌に心地よく。真っ暗なダイヤモンドヘッドは圧倒的存在感で。遠くに見えるワイキキのキラキラした街並みもそれは美しく。もう開放感いっぱいに体中をリラックスすることが出来ました。
このとき夜空を見上げると星空観測もできて「北斗七星」も観ることが出来ました、この喜びは感動ものです。
こちらのマイタイカクテルが美味しくて♪何度もおかわりをしたのですが（カップも可愛い）カクテルボーイの方がずっと笑顔で提供してくれたのもそれも嬉しい思い出のひとつです。
なお、ビーサンや手荷物は背もたれの中のボックスに入れて置けるので安心です。
また次回も絶対予約します。マハロ☆彡

Charismatic host and thrilling performances by men, women and children representing the different island nations/territories. Food is buffet style with many tasty options. Alcohol free options were also available and enjoyable.

Really fun sunset sail. Free open bar with multiple drinks. Very fun sail into the wind/waves for a bit of excitement. Saw some whale spouts, beautiful calm return sail. Some fun music to keep the festivities lively. Not too crowded at all.
The meeting place was well described and the cruise was as expected. Would recommend and would also hope to return!

I wanted to see a hula show, so I chose one of the entertainment shows that also offered dinner. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was delighted by the lei welcome, and I enjoyed the welcome drink, Mai Tai, as well as the buffet-style dinner, which was delicious. The service was timely, and the hula dancing during dinner was performed right beside us, making for a packed experience. I was able to see the long-awaited hula show from the front row, and it was incredibly powerful. The dancers were beautiful, and I was amazed at how the same performers could showcase such a variety of dances. I had just watched the movie "Elvis" on the plane, so I found it fascinating and enjoyable to see the Elvis show. Since I grew up during Michael's era, that was fun too. Above all, the fire show in the Polynesian show was spectacular and very impressive. It became a wonderful memory on my last night in Hawaii.

フラのショーを観たいと思いいくつかあるエンターテイメントショーの中から、ディナーも楽しめるとのことで選ばせていただきました。ハワイは初めてだったので、レイの歓迎も嬉しく、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイもバイキング形式のディナーも美味しくいただきました。タイミング良くサーブもしていただき、ディナー途中のフラダンスもすぐそばで踊ってくださるのと、また体験もあり盛りだくさんでした。念願のフラのショーも最前列正面で見させていただき、迫力も満点でした。ダンサーの方たちも美しく、多種のダンスも同じ方？って思うほど、各種類のダンスも七変化で楽しませてもらいました。エルビスのショーもちょうど機内で『エルビス』の映画を観たすぐだったので、そっくりだなぁーと思いつつ、興味深く楽しませてもらいました。マイケルもちょうど世代なので楽しかったです。そして何よりポリネシアンショーの火のショーが素晴らしく、迫力満点でした。ハワイ最後の夜に良い思い出となりました。

Very highly recommended. Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Friendly staff!

Amazing trip and experience
Superb sea trip with a beautiful atmosphere and a splendid view

I attended with my 7-year-old child. I was prepared for basic English, but thanks to Shoot's consideration, the magic show included some Japanese, allowing both my child and wife to understand and enjoy it very much. It was a type of magic that you don't often see in Japan, and it helped me rediscover its fun! If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

7歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
基本英語を覚悟してましたが、shootさんの心遣いで日本語も交えたマジックショーで子供も奥さんも理解しながら大変楽しく参加させて頂きました。
日本ではなかなか見ないマジックでしたが、改めてその楽しさを再発見させてもらいました！
また機会があれば是非参加させてもらいます。

Food and service were great! Watching the sunset out on the water was amazing. Easy Uber ride to/from our hotel in Waikiki. Would definitely recommend and do again!

This was my first time attending after several trips to Hawaii. At first, I thought it might not be that great, so I joined with mixed expectations, but the food was decent, and after the meal, there was singing and hula right there! Then we moved to the theater, and a full-fledged show began, featuring a collaboration of hula and rock! There was a tribute to Elvis and Michael (impersonation) in the hula performance. Although it wasn't full, everyone was really into it. It ended with the music from Hawaii 5-0! The approximately four hours flew by. I thought the price was cheap considering it included a buffet-style meal and a show. Some luaus in a certain H Village charge several hundred dollars just for the meal and hula, and the time is about half... I hope this is helpful for those considering it.

ハワイ旅行数回目で初めて行きました。
最初は大したことないのでは？と期待半分で参加しましたが、食事もまあまあだったし、食事が終わると歌とフラをその場で！
そのあと会場をシアターに移り、本格的なショーが始まり、フラとロックの共演！フラからプレスリーとマイケル（ものまね）ショー。満員ではなかったがみんなノリノリでした。
最後はHawaii5-0の音楽で終了!!時間にして約4時間があっという間の感じでした。
食事（ブッフェスタイル）が付いてショーが付いてこの値段は安いと思った。
某Hビレッジ内のルアウも食事とフラだけで数百ドル！時間も半分ぐらいだし・・・
検討されている方がいれば参考になればと思います。

The whole night was fun and a memorable experience. The food was good, entertainment was excellent and staff very courteous and accommodating.
We would highly recommend this Sunset Dinner Cruise on a Friday night to see the fireworks.

I’ve always wanted to go to a luau and this didn’t disappoint!! I enjoyed the food, the entertainment while we ate and the desert! My friend and I also got some hula lessons!! A huge highlight for me, I’ve always wanted to try hula dancing. After dinner we got to see the show, with performances from the 1940s up to the present! I especially liked the fire dancing. My friend and and I enjoyed this experience and I would say it was worth it! So if you’re like to have a luau experience with a rocking show, I would recommend trying this.

Highlight was the Polynesian show. Food was ok, deserts were good. Complimentary drinks were average. Purchased drinks were pricey. Overall, did not get to see much of a sunset by being busy with the food and the show. It felt more like sitting in a restaurant since the boat was moving slow and sturdy unless you come out to grab the food.

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Fireworks lasted for a decent amount of time. Boat ride was very bumpy, but it was also my first time on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect, also sat at the front of the boat, which probably didn't help.

Since I was staying at Hilton, the meeting place was close, making it easy to participate.

The breeze felt special on the boat, it was pleasant, and the scenery was amazing! I was very satisfied to encounter a honu (sea turtle).

ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所も近くて、気軽に参加できました。

船で感じる風は特別で、気持ちよく、景色も最高！
ホヌにも出会えて、大満足でした。

We had the most amazing night doing the luau and show. The hospitality was so beautiful, it was the best activity we did in waikiki. We travelled from New Zealand and appreciated how they sang us a maori song. The show was outstanding, we could not fault one thing. Thank you for the amazing time and showing us your beautiful culture.

Me and 3 friends came here and were blown away. The food was absolutely stunning and the entertainment was unreal. We travelled from New Zealand and were serenaded with a special maori (native language of NZ) song. The hospitality was just beautiful and the show was super fun!! Would recommend this over any other ones.

I love Jurassic Park and have always wanted to visit this place. It all started when the theme song began to play on the bus! It was an English tour, but I always choose English tours no matter the country, and I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere with the other international guests. The guide was also proactive in taking photos, which made me, as a solo tour participant, very happy!

This tour is a must for both movie lovers and nature enthusiasts when visiting Hawaii.

ジュラシックパーク大好きでずっと行ってみたかった場所へ
バスの中であのテーマソングが流れ始めた所からスタート！！
英語ツアーでしたが、私はどこの国でも英語ツアーにしていて周りの外人さん達の和気あいあいな雰囲気が大好きです。
ガイドさんも率先して撮影して頂き、1人ツアー参加の私には本当に嬉しかったです！

大自然と撮影地、映画好きの方にも自然好きの方にもハワイへ来たら是非参加して欲しいツアーでした。

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but there was a wide variety of drinks, and I enjoyed the humorous announcements as well.

あいにくお天気よくなかったんですが、ドリンクも豊富でしたし、ユーモアたっぷりなアナウンスも楽しみました。

There were other ships participating, but this was my first time. I got the impression that it was a solid company, as I checked in at the counter of the cruise company located in the hotel and went over the liability waiver. The sunset finally began on the return trip, offering a different impression from the outbound journey. They mentioned unlimited drinks, but I didn't particularly like the taste of the free drinks and couldn't finish one. Beer and champagne are available for an additional charge. Occasionally, there were large waves, so the ship had its unique rocking motion. I saw someone who couldn't move due to seasickness, so I think it's better for those who are really sensitive to have motion sickness medication. In any case, I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a luxurious 90 minutes of doing nothing.

他の船での参加はありましたたが、こちらは初めて。ホテル内にある船会社のカウンターでチェックインを受け免責についてチェックをするなどしっかりした会社という印象。サンセットは復路からようやく始まり、往路とはまた違った印象が味わえます。飲み放題とのことですが、無料のドリンクの味はあまり好みではなく１杯飲みきれず、ビールやシャンパンは別料金です。時々大きな波がくるため船独特の揺れはあります。船酔いで動けなくなった方がいたので本当に弱い方は酔い止めがあったほうが良いと思います。とにかく９０分、何もしない贅沢な時間を味わいたい方におすすめです。

I returned home on a flight tomorrow afternoon, and I went there the night before. The location might be hard to understand just by reading about it, but there are clear video explanations on Instagram and other platforms, so checking in advance should help you navigate smoothly.

The food had a good balance of flavor and portion size (it's a buffet, so it's up to you). I mentioned that I have allergies regarding the welcome drink, and they kindly exchanged the Mai Tai for another soft drink.

The show likely resonates differently depending on your generation and preferences, so there might be moments that appeal to me and others that appeal to you. However, I enjoyed the entire show while maintaining the initial momentum.

Here are two pieces of advice for those who will be going:
(1) Check in a bit early. We arrived around 5:10 PM, and there were already quite a few guests seated. It gets crowded close to the deadline, and joining the buffet after the time has passed can feel like you're missing out.
(2) Use the restroom before the meal time ends. The transition to the theater happens suddenly and orderly, and once seated, it’s difficult to leave (this is generally true overseas, so it’s best to go when you can rather than thinking you’ll go later).

明日はお昼の飛行機で帰国、という夜に行ってきました。
場所は文章で読むと分かりにくいですが、Instagramなどでも分かりやすく動画説明されていていますので事前チェックしておけば迷わずスムーズかと思います。
食事は程よい味と量(ビュッフェなのでご本人次第)。ウェルカムドリンクはアレルギーがあるのでとお願いしたらマイタイから別のソフトドリンクに交換していただけました。
ショーはおそらく世代や趣向によって刺さるツボが違うので、ある場面では私が、別の場面ではあなたが、というノリになるかと思いますが、最初の勢いを維持したままショー全体が進行し楽しめました。
これからいかれる方へのアドバイスとして2点。
(1)少し早めにチェックインする。我が家は17:10頃に行きましたが既に先客がそれなりに着席されていました。締切間際は混むのと、時間すぎてからビュッフェに参加するのは出遅れ感出てせっかくなのに残念です。
(2)お手洗いは食事の時間が終わる少し前までに済ませておく。
シアターへは突然かつ整然と移動することになり、着席後は離席もしにくいです(海外全般の話になるかと思いますが、後で行こうとは思わずに行ける時に行く、というのが基本)。

Show the app at the reception, sign the documents, and board barefoot. The Diamond Head is first visible on the right side from the stairs, and later on the left side. We saw humpback whales and sea turtles. The wind was strong, and my hat flew away. It was about a one and a half hour cruise.

受付でアプリを見せて書類にサインをして、裸足で乗船。階段から右側が最初にダイヤモンドヘッドが見え、左側が後からダイヤモンドヘッド側になります。
座頭鯨と海亀が見えました。
風が強く帽子は飛ばされます。
1時間半ぐらいのクルーズでした。

We did not have the dinner. We only purchased show tickets. The show was enjoyable. A mix of Hawaiian tradition with some rock and roll.

I'm glad I was able to enjoy food that can only be experienced in Hawaii. However, even though the meeting time was at 5:30 PM, we didn't start eating until around 6:15 to 6:30 PM, which was quite a wait. The food is delicious, so I recommend it for those who are patient.

It was great that the waiter communicated with us in Japanese.

The show was very entertaining, and we had good seats. The venue was cold, so it's better to bring a jacket. It was a great experience to see hula dancing from various generations. The performances, including those mimicking Elvis and Michael Jackson, got the audience excited, but for kids and younger generations like us, it wasn't very familiar, so we couldn't tell how similar they were. The kids were fast asleep. But it was really cool. I highly recommend it for people of that generation!

ハワイでしか体験できないご飯が食べられてよかったです。しかし、集合が17時30分なのに、ご飯を食べ始められたのは18時15〜30分ととても待ちました。ご飯はおいしいので気が長い方にはおすすめです。
ウェイトレスのお兄さんが日本語を交えながらコミュニケーションをとってくれてよかったです。

ショーはとても面白く、いい席で見せてもらえます。ショー会場は寒いので上着があった方がいいです。様々な年代のフラダンスを見れていい経験となりました。
レイビス？やマイケルジャクソンのモノマネで会場が盛り上がりますが、子供や若い世代の自分たちには馴染みが薄く似ているかはよくわからなかったです。子供は爆睡していました。でもとてもかっこよかったです。世代の人はとってもおすすめです！！

I usually don't take boats because I get seasick, but I've been coming to Hawaii for about 40 years. I've always watched the boats depart from the hotel, so I decided to challenge myself! I can hardly speak English, but I still felt really good about it. ⛵⛵⛵

酔うので船は乗ることがないのですが、HAWAIIに来始めて約40年。ホテルからいつも出港するのを見ていてせっかくなのでチャレンジ！私は殆ど英会話はできませんが、それでもとても気分が良かったです⛵⛵⛵
