The reception was right on time, and while we were waiting, we got to take a photo with Santa.
There were a lot of people, and our departure was delayed by 15 minutes!
We rode on the upper deck of a double-decker bus, having a great time,
enjoying the pleasant breeze while watching the amazing illuminations, and there was even a pumpkin carriage, which felt very foreign and exciting.
The inside of the city hall was beautiful with many trees on display.
However, I wasn't sure where to find the bus for the return trip, so I just lined up where there seemed to be people, and it showed up.
It was the best experience of Christmas in Hawaii.
Mahalo~~
受付は、きっちり時間通りで、待ってる間にサンタさんと写真撮らせていただきました。
人数が多く出発時間が15分遅れてました!
二階建てバスの二階に乗り、盛り上がって、
心地よい風が吹く中、最高のイルミネーションを観て、カボチャの馬車もいて、外国って感じで、
興奮しました。
市役所の中も沢山のツリーを観て綺麗でした。
ただ帰りのバスの場所がわからず何となく人のあいる方で並んでいたら来ました。
ハワイのクリスマスの体験ができて最高でした。

I reserved a front-row seat. The host only spoke in English, so I couldn't understand anything they were saying... but I knew this in advance and could get the vibe, so I accepted that. The problem was the food.
After the drinks were served, the appetizer? It was served in a bento box-like container, and it was bad. Then we were served a plate with a mix of chicken, beef, and pork. Not many people around me finished their meals. We paid nearly 100,000 yen for this meal. What a letdown. The show itself was only good during the last 15 minutes. I was glued to the fire dance, but before that, it was a bit dull.
I booked this hoping my kids, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, would feel the essence of Hawaii, but I'm not sure if it was worth the hefty price.
前列席確約を予約。司会は英語オンリーだったから全く何を話してるか分からない…でもこれは前もって知っていたし雰囲気で分かるから良しとしても…問題は食事。
ドリンクがでたあと前菜?弁当箱みたいなので提供されますが、これが不味い。そのあとに提供されるのが鶏肉&牛肉&豚肉?の3種盛みたいなプレート。回りの人も完食してる人はあまりいなかった。3人で10万近く支払ってこの食事かぁ。がっくり。ショー自体は最後の15分間だけ良かった。ファイヤーダンスは釘付けで見てましたが、それまでは少々眠たくなるくらい。
ハワイ旅行がはじめての子供達にハワイを感じてほしくて予約したけど大金はらってまで行く価値があるかは微妙。

A great experience for the whole family. The show had a variety of dances and songs; and the performers were great. Also, being right on the beach with the sunsetting over the water and the lights of the cityscape in the night sky, it made for some beautiful pictures. We would definitely do it again.

Crew, entertainment & cruise were superb! Food was good- crab was really good, steak good, but chicken dry. Could use more veggies.
Black coffee was very as was mai tai!
Only disappointment was the fireworks cancellation. Paying extra for 4th of July fireworks and not getting was a disappointing especially since the cruise doesn’t operate the fireworks.
Definitely recommend purchasing!

I sometime feel very constrained with all the rules but the staff did a very good job explaining why they have to do what they do to keep all of us safe and still have the best time.

Loved experiencing this right in Waikiki! The location at the Royal Hawaiian hotel was really convenient (no long bus rides) and the food was 10 out of 10. It started to rain a bit during the show and within minutes, the servers brought out towels to everyone so we could stay dry and catch the last bit of the show. Service was fantastic. Would recommend the extra to get the Premium seating closer to the stage.

My birthday was on December 19th and booked 8 tickets including 2 kids under 10. Before the ride they had the grinch and Santa’s elves passing out candy and provided picture taking with Santa, the grinch and elves which the kids loved. Because of covid there weren’t many lights on the buildings but our driver was awesome and sang a bunch of Christmas carols with us the whole ride. Then when we stopped at the honolulu hale the driver came up to the top of the bus and had the whole bus singing happy birthday to me.. Best surprise birthday ever and everyone in my family had a great time and will definitely book again. Mahalo to the driver!

A great location to view the Waikiki fireworks at midnight to ring in the New Year. However, do not attempt if you get sea sick easily, no matter how many Dramamine you take! 3/4 of the guests got sea sick last night. Rough waters = sea sick.
The food and dessert was great. We had a nice size steak, and a nice lobster. Dessert was good too.
The hula show was nice. There was a nice singer and a sax player too.
The lady who played the ukulele was nice, but could have played more. There were times w no music at all.
I recommend this, but not with bad weather. We took a chance because we booked this trip for New Year’s Eve, but will not do it again if rough waters are out n about.

The trolley tour made our winter feel the vibe of Christmas that was missing since Covid hit. It delivered us through a ride that brought the holiday spirits back! Our son enjoyed the ride very much and we enjoyed watching him having fun during the tour. We usually just visit city lights by using our own transportation but this tour is a big plus to add on to your city lights tour. While riding the trolley, you will get to listen to Christmas songs that will bring back memories of previous winter seasons that will never get old. Big thanks to Santa and his helpers for the great hospitality. Mahalo to the crew and Merry Christmas from my ohana and I.

The crew were friendly, but the photographer was no good. Don’t purchase the pictures. They are not worth it. She basically only took pictures of u on the boat, which u can also do with your own camera. When it’s time to go under water, the photographer was too busy snorkeling herself. We had to chase her down for some pictures, but it came out super blurry. At the end when the pictures package were emailed to us, it consists many Google under water sea life images. I’d recommend u bring ur own phone with waterproof pouch, the pictures will be so much better.

The trolley crew were fantastic! They were very jolly and I appreciated that they sanitized the trolleys in between each ride. They also decorated the trolley with lights and Santa was on board as well. I was just disappointed at the fact that all the decorations at the Honolulu hale weren’t on display. Also, a lot of the downtown buildings that usually have decorations didn’t decorate this year. Hopefully next year will be much better because the ride was fun!

Unfortunately, the weather on the day was not great, so the event was held indoors. However, the spacious indoor setting was not a problem at all. We enjoyed the welcome drinks, additional drinks, and the food thoroughly, and the main show, despite being hosted in English, was moving. The price is a bit on the higher side, but I believe the experience is worth it.

We had a BLAST! We were scheduled on a night before Christmas, however, due to very bad weather, the Mayor kept light display “dark”. Enoa Tours provided EXCELLENT customer service! They were determined and devoted to rescheduling us or giving us a full refund! We rode on the last night of City Lights and, although Christmas had past, with our upbeat and fun driver we rocked out to a special Christmas/Sha la la playlist and waved, wished a Happy New Year to everyone we passed!
MAHALO NUI LOA Enoa Tours, we will DEFINITELY make this a Christmas tradition and invite family and friends to join us!

Unlike the regular trolley, this one takes a detour to beautiful illuminated spots. When I got off the trolley in front of the city hall, the giant Santa statue and the Hawaiian-style decorations were wonderful. I see the Santa statue during the day when passing by on TheBus, but its sparkling appearance at night is exceptional. Additionally, inside the city hall, there was an exhibition of Christmas wreaths made by local citizens, and the unique wreaths were impressive.
通常のトロリーと違って、イルミネーションの美しい箇所を寄り道して通り、市庁舎前で、トロリーを降りたら、巨大なサンタ像、ハワイ風のデコレーションが素晴らしかった。サンタ像は、昼間にもTheBusで通る際にも見るが、夜の光輝く姿は格別です。また、市庁舎内には、一般市民の作ったクリスマスリースの展示もあり、個性豊かなリースが印象的でした。

We had to wait about half an hour for the “tour” to begin. The driver mentioned a couple of places on the way to the drop off point but basically it was a bus ride to downtown where we got off the bus and walked around for an hour on our own and then boarded the bus back to the bus depot. An Uber would have been a lot cheaper.
I will not sign up for this tour again in the future.

The seats were at the edge, so I couldn't see the stage very well. It was a round table for eight, but the seats inside the table were free seating, so it's a good idea to arrive early. It felt more like a show centered around hula rather than a hula show. Since it was held inside a building, I couldn't feel the atmosphere of Hawaii. I was disappointed that I couldn't use all three drink tickets, but the food was very delicious.
席は端でしたので、ステージはよく見えずでした。
円卓8名席でしたが、円卓内は自由席なので、早めに行くといいですね。
フラショーというより、フラ中心のショーという感じでした。
建物内の開催だったので、ハワイという雰囲気は感じられずでした。

We were seated at a central window table. There was a leak from the ceiling (it was a sunny day).
Right after we started our meal, water droplets began falling onto our food and clothes. Our clothes were ruined, and of course, we couldn't eat. Three groups, including us, totaling eight people, faced this unfortunate situation.
Everyone was quite mature about it; no one got angry or excited. Instead, there were wry smiles of disbelief. But the mood definitely plummeted! It took a long time for them to respond, and as the countdown approached, we were finally moved to a new table and given food near the dimly lit back of the ship, close to the door leading outside the cabin.
We were looked at with puzzled expressions by other guests. We couldn't see the show in front of us, and our appetite had already vanished.
Despite splurging on a good seat, it turned into the worst countdown that I will remember for a lifetime. Of course, the captain did offer an apology...
中央の窓際席でした。天井より水漏れあり。(当日は晴天でした。)
食事開始早々に水滴が料理や洋服に落ちてきました。
洋服は台無しだし、食事はもちろん食べられません。
我々を含め3組8名の方が災難にあいました。
流石に皆さん大人です。切れて興奮する方はいませんでした。逆に呆れて苦笑い。でも気分は大盛り下がり!
対応に時間がかかりカウントダウンが近くなってようやく新しい席と料理が薄暗い船後部の通路・キャビン外に出るドア付近に設定されました。
他のお客さんに怪訝そうな目で見られました。
前方でのショウも見れませんし、すでに食欲はなくなっていました。
奮発していい席を取ったのに、一生記憶に残る最悪のカウントダウンになりました。
もちろん、キャプテンのお詫びの言葉はありましたが・・・

The fireworks up close from the boat were amazing, but the strong rocking made it difficult to enjoy the unlimited champagne I was tempted by. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're someone who can handle the boat well.
