All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.

On the last day of our family trip to Hawaii, we decided to participate in this activity to create some memories. I had been on a catamaran a few times in Hawaii (with another company), but it was the first time for my husband and our 2-year-old daughter.

There aren't many activities available for children, so the fact that our daughter could join us for free was a deciding factor.

The meeting point was inside the Outrigger Reef. It was beautifully renovated, and the Holokai counter was easy to find. We got a little lost with the map provided, but the hotel staff kindly helped us.

From there, we walked to the boarding area near Halekulani.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our trip, but just as the sun was setting, a gap in the clouds appeared, creating a truly wonderful memory.

Here are a few concerns that led to a four-star rating:

【Concerns】
- When we boarded, we were the only Japanese among about 30 people. It was fun to experience the international atmosphere, but the crew members did not speak Japanese, so those who are concerned about this should take note.

- The boat allows drinking. We chose not to drink, but the first drink is included at no extra charge! The international guests were drinking a lot and having a great time. Families with children or those who are not comfortable with drinking should be cautious.

- My husband and daughter got seasick. Depending on the weather, the waves were quite high and the boat rocked a bit. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is a must! Also, please be aware that the ride lasts about an hour and a half.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we could feel the fun atmosphere from everyone on board. I think it would be good to compare prices as catamaran rates vary by company.

ハワイへの家族旅行最終日に、思い出になればと思い参加を決めました。私はハワイで何度かカタマラン（別の会社主催の方）に乗ったことがありましたが、夫と2歳の娘は初めてでした。
娘が参加できるアクティビティがなかなかないので、子どもは料金がかからず一緒に楽しめることも決め手になりました。

集合場所はアウトリガーリーフ内。綺麗にリニューアルされており、ホロカイのカウンターもわかりやすかったです。案内の地図で少し迷いましたが、ホテルの方が丁寧に教えてくれました。

そこからハレクラニ横まで徒歩で移動して乗船します。

当日はあいにく曇りでしたが、日が沈む瞬間は雲の間ができ、すごく素敵な思い出となりました。

以下、少し懸念される点がありましたので星4つになります。

【懸念点】
・私達が乗船した際は、30人ほどのうち日本人は私達だけでした。海外の雰囲気を味わえて楽しかったですが、乗務員さんも日本語は話せない方なので気にする方はぜひ。

・飲酒可能な船です。私たちはお酒がのめないので選びませんでしたが、一杯目は追加料金なくお酒を楽しめます！海外の皆さんはたくさん飲んで大変盛り上がっていました。
子連れやお酒のノリが苦手な方は、注意が必要かもしれません。

・夫、娘は船酔いしてしまいました。天候にもよるかと思いますが、沖合は割と波も高く揺れました。苦手な方は酔い止め必須です！また、1時間半ほど乗るのでお気をつけください。


全体として非常に楽しく、海外の雰囲気を一緒に乗船されたみなさんからも感じられて、楽しいひとときとなりました！カタマラン船は料金も各社違うのでぜひ参考に比較いただくとよいかと思います。

Despite the weak yen... the quality was so good that I thought it was cheap! With this content at this price, it's the best!
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.
It all started with receiving a lei around my neck, and I enjoyed the food while watching the dances and songs✨. Finally, I got to enjoy a fantastic show right in front of the stage, almost within reach✨.
I struggled with English and participated alone, but I had a great time. I think I could have enjoyed it 1.5 times more if I understood English better!
I want to study English a bit more and participate again.

円安ですが…安い！！っと思うくらいのクオリティでした！この内容でこの価格！最高です
初めてのハワイでしたが大満足です
まずレイを首にかけてもらうところから始まり、踊りや歌を楽しみながらお料理を✨そして最後に手が届きそうなほどステージの真ん前から本格的なショーを堪能✨
英語が苦手&１人での参加でしたが、十分楽しめました英語がもっと分かればさらに1.5倍は楽しめたと思います！
英語もう少し勉強してまた参加したいです

I participated because I wanted to see the fire dance and hula dance. The theater was very well constructed. Dancers and a famous local singer appeared, and it was very exciting from the start. Around the middle, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson came out, and they danced to their famous songs with the dancers, which was really thrilling! The show itself lasts about an hour and a half, so it might be a good idea to use the restroom beforehand. I definitely want to see it again when I go to Hawaii!

ファイヤーダンスとフラダンスが見たくて参加しました。劇場もすごくしっかりとした作りでした。ダンサーと地元の有名な歌手？が登場し、最初からとても盛り上がりました。中盤くらいから、エルビスやマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが登場し、それぞれの有名な曲に合わせてダンサーさんと踊っててとても盛り上がれました！！劇場自体1時間半くらいあるので、最初に御手洗を済ませた方がいいかもしれません。またハワイに行ったら是非見に行きたいです！

Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.

シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました！船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです！ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。

Before the show, the meal was plentiful. During dinner, the staff performed dances, Hawaiian songs, and took requests for songs while we enjoyed cocktails. Moving to the venue, the seating had a tiered arrangement, making it very easy to see.

As the show began, there were hula dances, rock dances, and fire dances, all flowing beautifully with great singing. Listening to nostalgic songs from the '80s, there was also a Michael Jackson impersonator whose dancing was amazing, and before we knew it, the time flew by to the end. It was wonderful to see this show in Waikiki, and I would love to see an Elvis performance next time.

ショーの前、食事タイムボリューム満点です。
食事どきからスタッフによるダンス、ハワイアンソング、カクテルを飲んで歌のリクエスト。
会場へ移動、席は段差があってとても見やすい。
ショーが始まりフラダンス、ロックダンス、ファイヤーダンス、とても流れが良く歌もうまい。
80sの懐かし歌を聴き、またマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさん、ダンス最高で時間もあっという間にラスト。ワイキキでこのショーが見られとても良かった、今度はプレスリーも見たいな。

Many people were visiting Hawaii for the first time, and we enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the sea. The sunset was beautiful, and it was the perfect start to an incredibly fun trip. Everyone was thrilled.

初めてのHawaiiの人が多く
海からみるワイキキを楽しみました。
サンセットもキレイで
最高に楽しい旅の始まりでした。
みんな大喜びでした。

I participated with a group of six friends who were visiting Hawaii for the first time. We were blessed with great weather, and everyone was thrilled. We had a wonderful time enjoying Mai Tais and beer, and we even got to see dolphins. It was the best day ever.

初めてHawaiiに来る友達をつれて6名で参加しました。
お天気にも恵まれてみんな大喜びでした。
マイタイやビールでみんな楽しく盛り上がり
イルカも見ることが出来て最高の一日でした。

The beautiful sunset and the lovely sea
Unlike the hustle and bustle of Waikiki,
I was able to relax and enjoy my time.
I would love to join again when I come to Hawaii.

キレイな夕日ときれいな海
ワイキキの喧騒とちがって
のんびりと過ごせました
ハワイに来たらまた参加したいです。

This was my nth time in Hawaii, and I participated as a monitor. The buffet mainly featured pork, and there weren't many seafood options like poke. There were English speakers participating as well, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the Japanese attendees were being prioritized less. The show featured live singing and live music! I was surprised by the chubby Michael, who sounded similar (laughs). Rather than traditional hula dancing and fire shows, it was more of a mix with rock, so it might not be suitable for those who want to enjoy something more authentic and relaxed.

ハワイ何度目かでモニター参加しました。
バイキングは豚肉中心で、ポキなどの魚介系はあまりありませんでした。
英語圏の方も参加していたのですが、どうしても日本人は後回しにされている感じが否めなかったです。
ショーは生歌で生演奏でした！
声は似てるけれど太ったマイケルには驚きました（笑）
本格的なフラダンスやファイアーショーというよりも、ロックと掛け合わせなので、本格的なものをゆったり楽しみたい人には向かないかもしれないです。

Yesterday I decided to just get away to Waikiki for some fun on the water and I had the pleasure of having 2 awesome experiences. Everyone was was very nice. Drinks were awesome and the crew was spectacular. I recommend as I will be sailing out with these awesome people again. Mahalo

Overall good experience, enjoyed venue , service and hawaiian dances Everyone seems to be in cheerful mood and in moments. As we are vegetarian- food was ok for us . Didn’t like patty prepared for us from Soya . I will recommend overall as memorable experience.

The ride on the catamaran at mild temperatures with nice people and free soft drinks was very romantic. The price-performance ratio is right.

However, a certain degree of mobility is required to get on and off the boat.

Unfortunately the music is too loud. You have to like that.

Ruined by 3 drinking moms. There was an announcement to refrain from standing on the benches. 3 drinking moms stood as soon as the fireworks started and blocked our view. None of the crew reminded them to sit so others could enjoy the fireworks. The fireworks were not very high as they are for other shows I have been to. The captain could have turned the boat so they were not in the front towards the fireworks and give others a chance to see. The crew was nice, played music, and appeared to want everyone to have a good time.

I went on the first day of my trip to Hawaii, and it was so much fun that I forgot about my jet lag! The buffet dinner had a bit of a wait, but I ate until I was full. The show was in English, but the atmosphere in the venue created a sense of unity, and I was thrilled. The singing was truly impressive and captivating! The fire dance was also an amazing performance.

ハワイ旅行初日に行きましたが、時差ボケを忘れる位の楽しさでした！
ビュッフェディナーは待ち時間がやや長かったものの、お腹いっぱい食べました。
ショーは英語でしたが、会場の雰囲気が一体感になり、興奮しました。歌がホントに上手で魅了されました！
ファイヤーダンスも圧巻のパフォーマンスでした。

On the first night in Hawaii, I participated in this luau and show. The buffet at the luau had such a large portion that I couldn't finish it, but it was delicious. Above all, I was able to see the ukulele performance and hula dancing up close, and I really immersed myself in the Hawaiian atmosphere! I felt it was a great experience for the first day. It was our honeymoon, and they played and sang a Hawaiian wedding song on the ukulele, which became a wonderful memory for us. That was probably the best part of participating this time! The show even featured Elvis and Michael Jackson. Although they are from a different generation, I still enjoyed it! And the fire dance was amazing. I would have loved to see a bit more fire in the performance! I think it's a show that people who enjoy musicals would really like!

ハワイ1日目の夜にこちらのルアウ＆ショーに参加。
ルアウのビュッフェは盛られる量が多くて食べきれませんでしたが、美味しかったです。
何よりウクレレでの演奏とフラダンスを間近で見れて、ハワイの雰囲気にどっぷり浸かれました！
1日目で良かったなぁと思います。
ハネムーンだったんですが、ハワイのウェディングソングをウクレレで弾き語りしてもらい、とても思い出になりました。
それが今回参加して1番良かったことかなぁ♪
ショーではエルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンまで登場。世代ではないですが、楽しめました！
そしてファイヤーダンス(？)が凄かった。もう少し火を使った芸の割合が多いと嬉しかった！ミュージカルが好きな人は楽しめるショーだと思います！

First, take the escalator to the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center B building, where you can receive a sticker as your participation badge at the reception, and then head to the buffet venue.

When we participated, the seating style had Japanese guests at the same table. It provided a natural opportunity to chat with those seated with us, which may have been a consideration to help everyone relax and enjoy their meal. While enjoying a menu that reflects Hawaii (personally, I found the desserts especially delicious!), there were also hula dance performances and songs presented up close, and those interested could take hula dance lessons.

The main "Rock-a-Hula" show was incredibly powerful, featuring impressive performances by "Elvis" and "Michael," along with thrilling fire dances. The dancers' movements were sharp, and I had a great time.

I initially thought about skipping the final photo session, but in the end, I ended up taking pictures with my favorite "Michael" and the dancers.

まずはロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターB館のエスカレーターで4Fへ行き、受付で参加証代わりのシールを受け取り、ビュッフェ会場へ。

私たちが参加した時は、日本人同士が同じテーブルにつくスタイルでした。
同席した方たちと自然とお話しする機会もあり、なるべくリラックスして食事を楽しめるようにとの配慮だったのかもしれません。間近でフラダンスや歌が披露される中、ハワイらしいメニュー（個人的には特にデザートがおいしかった！）も楽しめ、希望者はフラダンス・レッスンも受けられます。

そしてメインの「ロック・ア・フラ」ショーは迫力満点で、「エルビス」さんや「マイケル」さんの渾身のパフォーマンスや、ドキドキのファイアーダンスもお薦めですが、ダンサーたちの踊りもキレキレで、とても楽しみました。

最後の写真撮影はパスしようと思っていたのですが、結局、お気に入りの「マイケル」さんやダンサーさんと一緒に撮ってもらっちゃいました。

The buffet, especially the roast beef, was incredibly delicious! You can enjoy your meal while drinking a Mai Tai and watching hula dancing and ukulele performances up close. (For those who don't drink alcohol, non-alcoholic options are available.)

After that, we moved to the concert hall to watch the show. It was packed with content, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian vibe. The fire dance at the end was truly impressive. I was very satisfied that we could take photos together at the end. This event is full of activities, and I think especially those visiting Hawaii for the first time will enjoy it even more.

ビュッフェは特にローストビーフが最高に美味しかったです！マイタイを飲みながらフラダンスやウクレレ演奏を間近に観ながら食事ができます。(お酒が飲めない方はノンアルコールもOK)
その後はコンサートホールへ移動し、ショーを見ます。盛り沢山の内容でハワイ感を存分に味わえました。終盤のファイヤーダンスは迫力満点。最後に写真も一緒に撮ることができ大満足でした。このイベントは盛り沢山で特にハワイに初めていらっしゃった方はより楽しめると思います。

The highlights were the roast beef, fish fry with white sauce, and Hawaiian-style tofu dishes, all of which were very well seasoned. I got a bit carried away and ended up taking too much food, so I should have reduced the carbs like yakisoba and macaroni, which were just average in taste, and been a bit more composed. Haha! The Rock-a-Hula show was impressive! The dancers were not only great at hula but also had sharp rock dance moves, which was fun. I was tired from the flight, but I was very satisfied to have an American and Hawaiian experience right from the first night. I'm glad I went!

特に美味しかったのは、ローストビーフ、フィッシュフライのホワイトソースがけ、ハワイ風豆腐の料理など味付けがとてもよかった。ついつい浮かれて取り過ぎて食べきれなかったので、焼きそばとかマカロニとか炭水化物系は普通の味なのでそれを減らしたり、もうちょっと冷静に過ごせばよかった。笑　ロックアフラは見ごたえあり！ダンサーはフラだけじゃなくロックのダンスもキレキレで楽しかった。飛行機で疲れていたけど、初日の夜からアメリカ＆ハワイらしい体験ができて大満足。行ってよかった！

It was absolutely wonderful!
I was able to see sea turtles and flying fish.

On the boat, I could enjoy drinks like juice, and it was a luxurious time.

Thank you very much.

最高に気持ち良かったです！
ウミガメ、飛び魚を見ることができました。

船の上ではジュースなど飲み物も飲むことができ、優雅な時間でした。

ありがとうございました。

I was very moved during my last trip to Hawaii in 2019, so I made sure to include it again this time. The live band performance was powerful, and I enjoyed the songs of my favorite artists, Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing and authentic entertainment. Considering COVID-19, it was nice to be able to watch from the first floor since there was no dining while viewing. It was a bit disappointing that the performer playing Michael had gained some weight after the pandemic. Still, I was very satisfied.

前回（2019）ハワイへ行った時にとても感動したので今回も必須で組込みました。
生バンドでのパフォーマンスは迫力があり大好きなエルビスやマイケルの歌やフラダンスと本場のエンターテイメントを楽しめました。
コロナを考慮して、食事をとりながらの観覧は無いため1階席で観れたのは良かったです。
コロナ後で演者さんが代わりマイケルがちょっと小太りになっていたのは残念。
それでも大満足でした。

Ya better book ahead for this one ! Cocktail sailing was super !
The view along the coast was beautiful as was the sunset .The boat ride itself was well worth the money and the staff/crew were entertaining and we had a memorable time .
Every sunset is different in Hawaii .All the colours of the water, sky and being out on the water...it made a wonderful way to finish our day .

Great way to end our trip. Crew were friendly and drinks were essentially endless. Beautiful views of the sunset and city.

The Rock-a-Hula show was a lot of fun.

I thought it would be just hula, but since the main part was a rock-themed show (impersonations), I had a great time. My plan was to sit in the second-floor seats, so I entered the theater without much expectation, but it turned out to be a large first-floor seat, positioned six seats from the front, which gave me a fantastic view of the show. Elvis was amazing, but I’m sorry to say that Michael was a bit on the heavier side and lacked sharpness, which made me laugh throughout the performance (he was really trying hard, so I feel bad).

As for the buffet in the first half, there was quite a wait as rumored, so it's best to go with that in mind. The sweet potatoes were delicious. However, I took too much—way too much, actually, and couldn't finish it. I really think it's better to take just a little bit at a time. During the meal, there was also a simple hula show and a mini hula experience, which was quite enjoyable.

ロック・ア・フラ、楽しかったです。

フラだけだと、少し、と思っていたのですが、ロックな感じのショー（モノマネ）がメインだったので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
私のプランは、２階席と書いてあったので期待せずにシアターに入ったのですが、２階席ではなく、大きな１階席で、前から6席目という位置付けでしたので、すごくよくショーが見えました。
エルビスは最高だっただけに、マイケルは申し訳ないですが、ちょいとふくよかで、キレがあまりなく、終始笑わせてもらってました。（本人はすごく頑張っていたので、申し訳ないです）

前半のビュッフェは、噂通り待ち時間が結構ありましたので、そのつもりで行った方がいいですね。食事はお芋がおいしかったです。でも、２つは取りすぎました。すごくたくさん取ってしまうので、食べきれません。本当に少しづつ取った方がいいと思います。
食事の途中でフラの簡単なショーや、フラのプチ体験とかもあって、結構楽しかったです。

We departed from the beach in front of the Sheraton Hotel, just a stone's throw away from the hotel, about 80 minutes before sunset. The catamaran can accommodate around 20 to 30 people. We turned around after passing the beautifully illuminated Diamond Head at sunset. Cruising while sipping a Mai Tai and enjoying the sunset is an absolutely wonderful experience!

泊まったホテルから目と鼻の先、シェラトンホテル前のビーチから、日没約80分前に出発しました。カタマラン型のヨットには、20〜30人くらい乗れます。夕日が美しく映えるダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎた辺りでUターン。マイタイ・ドリンクを飲みつつ、サンセットを眺めながらのクルージングは最高に気持ちが良いものです！

The show structure was wonderful! I enjoyed the interaction with the dancers before the meal. The staff's service was also very pleasant.

ショー構成素晴らしい！
ダンサーさんとの食事前の交流が楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々の対応も気持ち良かったです。

The friendly staff really gets everyone in a great mood. Watching the fireworks from a prime spot is the best. I'm engraving the view of Waikiki's night scenery into my heart during the cruise.
Be careful of the waves when boarding and disembarking; you might trip.

フレンドリーなstaff 皆でノリノリになります。花火を特等席で観られて、最高です。ワイキキの夜景を観ながらのクルージング目に心に焼き付けています。
乗船、下船する時、波に気を付けましょう、足元がすくわれます。

On October 29th, I participated in a show that I had been interested in for a while as a memory of my trip to Hawaii.

First, we enjoyed a meal while watching hula dancing, sipping on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks made with orange and fresh pineapple. The luxurious buffet-style dinner created a wonderful atmosphere where everyone was cheerful and friendly. The desserts, including coffee, fruits, and ice cream, were also very delicious.

During the showtime, we were treated to beautiful singing and authentic hula. I was captivated by the spectacular performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, making for an unforgettable night and a lovely memory.

10/29にハワイ旅行の記念に以前から気になっていたショーの参加をしました。
まずは、食事ですがオレンジに生パインのアルコールやノンアルをいただきながら、フラの踊りを観賞。そして豪華なビュッフェスタイルの夕食は、みんな和気あいあいでとても素敵な雰囲気でした。デザートもコーヒーや果物、アイスクリームもあって、とても美味しかった。
ショータイムは歌手の素敵な歌と本場フラ。
また、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンのショーアップされた演出に心を奪われ感激の夜を過ごし、素敵な記念になりました。

We had the best time with our group of 12 on the sunset catamaran cruise. Meet up at the hotel was easy to find. Boarding the boat was quick and efficient the ride out was a little choppy but we laughed our way thru the bumps a couple people were nauseous so if you get nauseous easily take something before.. The drinks were great and the bar service was too! They had a variety of drinks including local beer. The views were amazing. We took great pictures and enjoyed the sunset. I highly recommend and would definitely do it again

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.
