All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

I had a great time. Very scenic tour and great for groups.

This luau show was a bit different from what I've seen before, and as expected from Hilton, it was great! I had a very good seat in the front center. However, since the venue is relatively small, I think the experience would still be quite impressive from any front row seat, not just the center ones.

今まで見たのとは少し違うアレンジされたルアウショーでさすがヒルトン！！
前方中央席でとても良かったです。
ただ、会場が割と狭いので中央席じゃなくても前方席なら迫力も対して変わらないかなと思いました。

My husband and I had a blast! Great crew!! Wish we had time to go again before leaving!

This is my second time. I became a repeat visitor just to see Michael. The Polynesian show is also very impressive. It has become one of my favorite activities in Waikiki.

今回で二回目です。マイケル観たさにリピーターになってしまいました。ポリネシアンショーも見応え十分です。ワイキキでの楽しみの一つになりました。

My friends and I had a wonderful time watching the fireworks and listening to dance music. The crew was very nice and filled our drinks very quick. I would recommend this tour for everyone. Also the temperature was perfect !

We were impressed with the boat. Excellent captain. Fun music and we went on a Friday for fireworks! Loved it! Suggest you do it on the Friday or any night during sunset. The sunset happens very quickly keep your camera ready!

There were more Japanese participants than I expected.
Since it wasn't a large ship, there were times when we got splashed by the waves, but in some areas, we didn't get wet.
The sunset was beautiful because the weather was nice, and I could see it very clearly while holding a Mai Tai!
Next time, I would like to participate when I can see the fireworks on Friday.

思っていたより日本人参加者が多かったです。
大型船ではないため波がかかることもありましたが、場所によっては濡れることはありませんでした。
サンセットも天気がよかったため、マイタイ片手にとてもきれいに見れました！！
次回は金曜の花火をみれるときに参加してみたいです。

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です！

This was a three-generation trip with ages ranging from 6 to 69 years old. We boarded a catamaran and were very satisfied! The scenery was amazing, and we even saw sea turtles. There were restrooms available (though we didn't use them), which made us feel secure during the ride. Along the way, those in swimsuits could swim in the sea. ^_^

下は6歳〜年長者は69歳の3世代の旅。
カタマラン乗船し、とっても満足しました！
景色は最高、ウミガメも見れました。
お手洗いもあり(使用してませんが)、安心して乗れました。
途中、水着の方は海で泳ぐごとができます^_^

The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.

This was our second time on the cruise, as my child really enjoyed it the first time. The waves are bigger in winter, which might make it more fun with the rocking motion. For those who prefer a calm cruise, summer is recommended. Since you're out on the sea, you can get quite sunburned. I recommend taking extra precautions against sunburn, even more than when you're at the beach. We also saw turtles and dolphins, which excited both the adults and the kids.

以前乗船し、子供が気に入っていたので、2回目の乗船でした。
波が大きい冬場の方が揺れがあって楽しいかもしれません。
穏やかなクルーズを希望する方は夏場がオススメです。
海の上なので、かなり日焼けします。日焼けしたくない方は、ビーチに居る時以上にしっかり日焼け対策をすることをお勧めします。
亀やイルカも見られて、大人も子供も大興奮でした。

The sunset was incredibly beautiful and moving. The rocking was more intense than I expected, and almost all the Japanese passengers were down (laughs). If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be better to skip it. I had a great time, but my wife was on the verge of throwing up. In a way, it became a good memory!

夕日は最高に綺麗で、感動的でした。
揺れは思っているよりも激しく、乗っている日本人はほぼ全員ダウンしていました(笑)
酔いやすい方はやめておいた方が良いかも。
私はすごく楽しかったですが、妻は吐く寸前でした。ある意味良い思い出になりました！

Was a great experience. Picked us up outside our place on the beach (Moana Surfrider). The crew were super hospitable and provided a good atmosphere to enjoy the Friday Night Fireworks. Great spot and cold drinks.

We did the Friday night fireworks cruise and it was a blast! Fantastic crew that made sure the drinks were always flowing, so much fun!

I made a reservation for 13 people for a company trip. Most of us were foreigners, but there were no issues at all. We boarded the boat before 6 PM, and watching the sunset over the sea was amazing and moving. Although it was March, the sea at sunset can be a bit chilly, so I think it's better to have something to wear. If you drink too much, you'll need to go to the restroom, but it's very cramped... It might take a bit of courage to go.

会社の慰安旅行で13名で予約しました。ほとんどが外国人でしたが全然問題ありませんでした。
午後6時前に船に乗り込み夕暮れを見ながらの海は最高で感動しました。
３月でしたが夕暮れの海は肌寒いので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
飲みすぎるとトイレに行きたくなりますが非常狭くて…。ちょっと行くのに勇気がいるかもです。

There are no instructions in Japanese, as there are few Japanese participants, but I didn't have any particular issues. Additionally, it was great to see Diamond Head from a different angle since we went further out than I expected. I was very satisfied to see whales, dolphins, and a rainbow. I would like to participate again on Friday. Considering the price and content, I highly recommend it.

日本人参加者が少ないため日本語での案内はありませんが、特に困ったことはありませんでした。
また、思った以上沖に出るのでダイヤモンドヘッドを違った角度から見ることができて良かったです。
クジラ、イルカ、虹も見ることができ大満足。
次は金曜日に参加したいと思います。
金額、内容を考えるととてもオススメです。

I was sitting right at the front by the net and got completely soaked from the splashes! But that's a good memory. If you don't want to get wet, I think it's better to sit further back (^ - ^) I wanted to see dolphins and whales, but it might be better to join a dedicated tour for that.

一番前のネットの脇に座っていましたら、しぶきでずぶ濡れになりました！
それもいい思い出です。
濡れたくなかったら、奥に座ればいいと思います(^-^)
イルカとクジラに会いたかったけど、それには専用のツアーがいいかもしれません。

I received an email from Mr. T.S. about the family trip, and everyone was very happy! I definitely want to participate when we go during Golden Week.

家族旅行で、出かけたT.Sさんからメールで
皆さんたいへん喜ばれてました！
ゴールデンウィークに行く時は、是非参加して見たい。

The cruise lasted too long, and the buffet was disappointing. The fireworks that I had been looking forward to ended in an instant, leaving me feeling somewhat let down. The sunset was beautiful, but you can enjoy the sunset without being on the boat...

クルーズの時間が長すぎるのと、バイキングの内容が残念。待ちに待った花火はあっというまに終わり、なんだかな～という感じ。夕陽は綺麗でしたが、船に乗らなくても夕陽は眺められるし……

It's been years since I last went sailing in Waikiki. No matter how many times I ride, it always feels great. It seems that not many Japanese people go, but once you try it, you'll definitely be hooked. The view of the Waikiki hotels and Diamond Head from the ocean is completely different from seeing it from land. This time, the weather was great, and the wind was perfect—it was the best day ever.

何年ぶりかのワイキキセーリング
何度乗っても気持ち良い。
あまり日本人は乗らなみたいですが、乗ったら病みつき間違いなしです。
沖から見る　ワイキキのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドは陸から見るのとは大違いです。　今回もい天気良く、風も良く最高の1日でした。

This was our first sailing experience in Hawaii and we were more than satisfied with the evening. From the boat, to the crew, to the food, and the sunset, everything was perfect. The 65' vessel was clean and spacious with plenty of room to walk around and take in the views from every direction. Diamond Head crater in the evening light was majestic and stunning.
Throughout the sail, the crew were all helpful and attentive. In addition to their regular duties of serving food and drinks and providing knowledge of marine life (we saw a whale!), they also played the role of photographers and were kindly willing to take pictures of guests with the beautiful sunset as the backdrop.
Also worth mentioning was the delicious food. If you're vegan or vegetarian, no need to fear! They were very accommodating and provided various options like tofu wraps, spring rolls, rice, potatoes, and steamed/sauteed tofu with veggies. I certainly did not leave hungry! And of course the exotic cocktails were refreshing and yummy.
The Makani Catamaran dinner cruise exceeded our expectations and left us eager to set sail again!

I took motion sickness medication, but it didn't help at all. The ride was quite bumpy. I didn't vomit, but I felt unwell, and even though there was an all-you-can-drink option, I couldn't finish my first drink. The high-energy voices of the other passengers and crew only made my nausea and headache worse. It's my own fault, but I will never participate again. I absolutely cannot recommend this for those who are prone to motion sickness or have concerns!

酔い止めを服用していきましたが、全然ダメでした。かなり揺れます。吐きはしませんでしたが気分不良で、飲み放題とのことですが、一杯目も飲みきれず。テンション高めな乗客とクルーの声で余計に嘔気と頭痛が悪化しました。自業自得ですが、二度と参加することは無いです。酔いやすい、もしくは心配な方には、絶対オススメできません！

The captain and tour guide were very friendly and informative. The view from the water was awesome. We saw a few fish and a turtle, which was great and unexpected. Just a very nice time out on the water.

I wanted to see the fireworks from the sea, but the night view of Waikiki and the starry sky away from the city lights were truly beautiful, and I was moved even without the fireworks. And of course, the fireworks were beautiful too.

Going barefoot and boarding during high tide can get you quite wet if the waves are not timed well. It's best to wear beach sandals and clothes that can get wet, like swimwear. My husband thought he was approaching the stairs when the waves receded, but he ended up soaked because of the incoming waves, and the material he was wearing was hard to dry, so he said he felt cold.

After disembarking, there is a shower in front where you can wash your legs.

花火を海上から見てみたい、が参加の理由でしたが、海から見えるワイキキの夜景と街の明かりから離れて見上げる星空が本当にきれいで、花火なしでも感動しました。
そしてもちろん花火もきれいでした。
裸足になるのと、満潮時の乗船で波のタイミングが悪いとかなり濡れます。ビーチサンダルと、下は水着等ぬれても良い格好で。夫は波が引いたタイミングで階段に近づいたつもりが寄せる波で下がずぶ濡れになり乾きにくい素材だったため寒いと言ってました。
下船後正面にシャワーがあるので脚は洗えます。

Watching the fireworks and enjoying the night view of Honolulu was amazing. However, it was cold. In March, I waded into the sea up to my shins at night to board the boat, and inside the boat, I was barefoot. The night sea breeze hit me directly, and by the time I disembarked, I was freezing. I think bringing a thicker jacket, using the restroom before boarding, and limiting fluid intake would make the experience even more enjoyable.

花火をみることができ、ホノルルの夜景も満喫し、それは最高でした。ただ、寒かったです。3月、夜の海にひざ下まで浸かり乗船し、船の中は裸足。夜の海風をモロに受けて、下船するころには体が冷え冷えでした。厚めの上着持参、乗船前にトイレ、なるべく水分は控えめにすると、より楽しめると思います。

Last year, I went on a sunset sailing trip on the catamaran, but this year there were light snacks (which turned out to be quite filling!) along with a welcome drink (champagne) and free drinks (unlimited alcohol). However, you must wear an armband to enjoy the free drinks! I was a bit disappointed that the communication and handover were not thorough, but the cruise itself was fantastic. I highly recommend it to everyone.

昨年はカタマラン号にてのサンセットセーリングでしたが今年は軽食（軽食との事でしたが結構なボリュームがあり満腹になります！）にウェルカムドリンク（シャンパン）にフリードリンク（アルコール飲み放題）との事でした。
ただフリードリンクにはアームバンドを付けていなければダメ！とのことでした。連絡、引継ぎが徹底されていなく少しがっかりでしたがクルーズ自体は最高でした。
皆さんにもお勧めします。

Best in town, great view, great crew, great cocktails

The boat was a little bit too crowded, but the dinner experience and the view of Waikiki were great.

We started with dinner, and then enjoyed hula, singing, and dancing with very quick costume changes. Even the impersonators sang like professionals. I was a fan of that nostalgic Elvis. The show was wonderful, and my hands turned red from all the applause.

ディナーから始まり、フラや歌、踊りなどとても素早い衣装替えで楽しみました。
そっくりさんでも歌はプロですね。懐かしいあのプレスリー。実はファンでした。
ショーが素晴らしくて、拍手で手が真っ赤になっちゃいました。

To begin with the staff was super friendly and engaging. Saul was on time and absolutely beautiful. I would return on my next trip.
