I wanted to see the fireworks from the seaside on Friday, so I participated. The ship was fully booked, and the buffet guests and lobster dinner guests were on the same floor. Buffet guests could quickly grab their food and leave, but those having the lobster dinner had to wait for their meals to be served, which took quite a bit of time.
The ship isn't that large, so even without a window seat, there was plenty of opportunity to see the outside scenery, which was nice. I was told that the window seats were fully booked, so I couldn't request one, but I was lucky enough to have a window seat.
When asked if I would go again, I think I would prefer to go to a restaurant at the Hilton to watch the fireworks instead. I think once is enough for me.
海側から金曜日の花火が見たいと思い、参加しました。船内は満席で、ビュッフェの人とロブスターディナーの人が同じフロアでした。
ビュッフェの人は早く取って、食べて出ていけるのですが、ロブスターディナーの人は料理が運ばれてくるのを待つしかなく・・・結構、時間がかかります。
船はそれほど大きくないので、無理して窓側指定しなくても十分、外の景色が見えて、良い感じでした。うちは窓側が満席ですと言われて指定できなかったんですが、運良く窓側の席でした。
次また行くかと言われると、ヒルトンのレストランに行って、花火を見る方がいいかなと思っています。
1回行けば満足かなと思います。

My wife and I went for our anniversary and loved every minute of it. It's great to get out on the water in the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. The crew was very inviting and polite and friendly. The food was great and the drinks as well. Will be coming back to experience it again on Friday so we can see the fireworks as well!

Great views, plentiful tasty appetizers and drinks! knowledgeable crew that answers all your questions about anything 'Oahu' ! Our Sunday night sunset cruise had very few tourists so e could spread out, have the crew take pictures, lounge on the front nets, lots of drinks and great appetizers. We were looking for something unique to do with our parents (70+) on our last night of vacation and this was perfect. Leaves from beachside of Tropics restaurant in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, parking validated. Book now!

During pickup, the tour guide did not hold a sign, which caused confusion as I couldn't identify the vehicle. Another company's guide helped me, so I boarded just in time for departure. As usual, we took photos immediately upon arrival and were billed later. Despite being a buffet, the menu was unusually limited. It was difficult to order drinks. It was terrible.
ピックアップの時、ツアー担当者が看板を手に持たず、どの車かわからず困惑。他社のガイドさんが教えてくれたので、出発ぎりぎりに乗車。お決まりの到着すぐに写真撮影し後から請求。ブッフェなのに異常に少ないメニュー。飲み物をオーダーしにくい。ひどかった

This was my first time doing anything like this, and I have to say, it defied my expectations in a good way. I had prepared myself for something flashy—bordering on gaudy, even—but what I got was something casual and relaxing, yet still elegant. There were no forced performances or over-the-top dramatizations, just a well-prepared dinner, prompt service and outstanding views. In a word, the whole experience felt genuine. It didn't feel pre-packaged or manufactured. I highly recommend it, especially for a group.

What a wonderful evening!
The boat is very elegant and has three decks with excellent viewing areas. The large windows are a plus, no matter where you are seated you will get a great view of Waikiki. My favorite part was the lounge area on the second deck, after dinner we enjoyed some cocktails listening to great Hawaiian Jazz music. The transportation was punctual and the staff is very friendly. The dinner buffet is good and there are options for everyone.
I had a really nice time with my friends at the Majestic, I would definitely recommend it for everybody.

My partner & I, sister & brother in law had such a good fun time. The crew were young, energetic & so professional. Nothing was a problem, plus they were also great photographers. The food was delicious & lots of it & the drinks were plentiful. The catamaran was fun especially sitting at the front on the net with the water underneath you. When we arrived back at the pier our shoes were ready sitting in pairs, after they had been locked safely away in a box on the dock until our return. Oh yes & the sunset was beautiful.

Dinner was a buffet, and it was great to have control over the portions. The roast beef that was served was delicious. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any trouble communicating.
Indeed, I didn't notice any swaying, and I had finished eating before we set sail. After eating on the first floor, everyone was free to go up to the bar on the second floor or the third floor, and I appreciated that freedom. While on the third floor, I could hear the live music from the second floor, but I couldn't tell when the hula dance show was happening. I was very satisfied as I enjoyed the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, yachts, and the sunset, but it might not be suitable for those who want to see more shows or party. I saw many people dancing on a large cruise ship passing by as it entered the harbor, so if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy your meal and the scenery, I think this cruise is a good option.
夕食はビュッフェで、量がコントロールできて良かったです。切り分けていただいたローストビーフはおいしかったです。
日本語スタッフもいましたので、困るようなことはありませんでした。
確かに揺れも気にならないし、ほとんど出港前に食べ終わっていました。1階で食べたら、各々自由に2階のバーや3階に上がっていて、その自由さが良かったです。3階にいると、2階の生演奏の歌は聞こえるけど、フラダンスのショーがいつやっていたのかは分かりませんでした。私はワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、ヨット、夕日など景色を満喫できたので大満足でしたが、ショーをもっと見たり騒ぎたい人には向かないかもしれません。近くを走行する大きなクルーズ船では、港に入るときに大勢が踊っているのが見えましたので、そういう雰囲気が苦手で食事と景色を楽しむなら、こちらのクルーズはお手頃だと思います。

We were pretty disappointed with this trip. Just not as organized as we had hoped. We've been on many different snorkel trips over the years and this is one of the most unorganized we've attended. Competing boats seem to pass out gear and explain rules and safety regulations on the way to the destination. Then, once anchored, we can get in the water. This boat waits until we are on anchor, then starts the slow unorganized process of handing out gear. Takes way too long!
Food was decent, but mixed drinks were not! The captain, although tried to be funny, was not for the most part. We tried to have a conversation with him and generally got one word answers. So, he really wasn't interested in talking with us. When we were on anchor, he seemed to be more interested in flying his own personal drone around the boat.
The crew was nice and helpful, the captain, not so much! The best part of the trip was the photographer. Really a terrific individual, very personal with the guest and generally took an interest in the guest.
Overall, I wouldn't use this boat again.

The sunset cruise we set up on the final day of our trip was wonderful. It was a perfect way to wrap up our journey. Watching the scenery while reminiscing about our travels under the sunset was the best. There were a few spots with higher waves, but I think most people would be fine and not get seasick. I would definitely want to do this again.

I made a reservation for a Friday departure with a course meal and a window seat guarantee (optional). The day before the tour, I received an email stating, "The window seat guarantee can no longer be accommodated. There is a possibility of sharing a table. The optional fee will be refunded." I was honestly anxious because it was my biggest enjoyment for my last night in Hawaii. I contacted the local operator myself to confirm the window seat guarantee and private seating, and in the end, I was able to sit at a window seat with private seating as originally booked, which was great. However, I was surprised and worried by the last-minute notice that the option was unavailable.
The activity itself was very satisfying; the new boat had little sway, the interior was clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I was very pleased overall. It was a fantastic tour, but it was a bit disappointing to have confusion regarding the reservation details.
Additional note: I wonder if negative reviews are not reflected? Other reviews I wrote on the same day have been reflected in both the review and points, but this review has not appeared on the product page and does not have points.
金曜日出発、コース料理、窓際確約(オプション)で予約。
ツアー前日に「窓際確約はできなくなりました。相席になる可能性もあります。オプション代は返金します。」とメールが来ました。ハワイ最後の夜の一番の楽しみだったため、正直焦りました。自分で現地の催行会社に問合せ、窓際確約・プライベート席なのを確認し、結果的には予約通り窓際・プライベート席に座れたので良かったですが、直前のオプション不可という連絡に驚き不安になりました。
アクティビティ自体は、新しい船ということもあり、揺れも少なく、船内もきれいで、料理も美味しく、スタッフも親切で大満足です。
大満足のツアーだっただけに予約内容の件でゴタゴタしたのが少し残念でした。

It was a very beautiful cruise ship, and since it was Friday, we were able to see fireworks, which was great! However, dinner was served a bit early. By the time we returned to our seats after exploring the ship once the buffet was over, the cups for our tea had already been cleared away, so it was disappointing that we couldn't have a post-dinner tea time.

On the last day of my stay in Hawaii, I chose a sunset cruise. The boat was recently renovated and looked very nice. I opted for the buffet for the meal, and the taste and variety were average, nothing special. After boarding, the meal began, and we set sail shortly after. Once we finished eating, we could freely move to the bar counter or the deck to enjoy tropical cocktails and watch the sunset. It was a very pleasant cruise, sipping cocktails while enjoying the sea breeze and taking in the sunset views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. I highly recommend it!
ハワイ滞在の最終日に、サンセットクルーズを選びました。

乗船してから食事が始まり、しばらくしてから出港しました。食事が終わったら、自由にバーカウンターや、デッキに移動して、トロピカルカクテルを楽しんだり甲板に上がって、夕日を見たりできます。夕焼けに照らされたワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見て、海風にあたりながらカクテルを飲んだりしてとても気持ちいいクルージングでした。

I liked the interior of the boat and the dining room was very elegant. Our photographer took our picture and we started the cruise off with a drink. They have excellent virgin lava flows and coffee! The boat was swaying to the nice jazzy tunes of the singer. I enjoyed the variety of songs and the musician was a talented ukulele and guitar player. Our waiter was attentive and they placed lightly sweetened iced tea and water in carafes at the table. Sodas and juices are complimentary but you have to order them from the waiter. I liked the salad, teriyaki chicken, cut fruit, and the coconut cake. They have an observation deck that is fantastic so be sure to bring your camera. Overall the cruise is a good value for the price and I recommend going especially on Friday nights to see the fireworks!
