Dining while cruising and enjoying the sunset, the night view of Waikiki, and even watching fireworks was a truly luxurious experience. However, the fireworks from Hilton lasted only about five minutes, so if you're imagining the quality of a Japanese fireworks festival, you might find it a bit lacking. Please keep that in mind when attending the fireworks every Friday! ^^

クルーズで食事を取りながらサンセット、ワイキキの夜景、さらに花火を見たりするのはとても贅沢な時間を過ごせられました。ただヒルトンからの花火は5分程度だったので、日本の花火大会のようなクオリティを想像していると物足りなさが出てしまうため、毎週金曜日の花火はそのつもりで参加されてくださいね^^

As mentioned in other people's experiences, the claim that this is "the only dinner cruise in Hawaii that can take you from Waikiki to offshore Diamond Head" was false. It followed the same route as Star of Honolulu and turned back well before reaching Diamond Head. It may have been due to high waves on the day, but there was no explanation provided. I had explained to other first-time visitors to Hawaii that we would go to offshore Diamond Head... The food was delicious. It was also nice that it wasn't as large as Star of Honolulu and had fewer people.

他の方の体験談にも記載がありましたが、「ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行くことができるハワイ唯一のディナークルーズ」というのは嘘でした。スターオフホノルルと同じコースを辿り、ダイアモンドヘッドのはるか手前で折り返し。当日は波が高かったのでそうなったかもしれませんが、その説明は無し。他の初ハワイの人たちに、「ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖まで行く」と説明したのに・・・。食事は美味しかったです。スターオフホノルルほど大きくなく人が少ないということも良かったです。

This was my second time on the Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was great again. Unfortunately, the sunset was hidden by clouds, but the night view of the Waikiki hotel district from the ocean side was very beautiful. The last-minute reservation went smoothly, and there were no issues at all. I think it's a recommended tour.

サンセットディナークルーズは二度目でしたが
今回も良かったです。残念ながら夕日は雲に隠れて見えなかったけど海側から見るワイキキのホテル街の夜景はとても綺麗でした。急遽の予約でしたが送迎もスムーズでなんの問題もありませんでした。オススメのツアーだと思います。

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.

到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました

Great way to see d island , eat and relax. D food was great and staff friendly and accommodating

There was also a Hawaiian dinner, but I opted for the affordable all-you-can-eat appetizers. It included four items like Thai-style grilled chicken and meatballs, along with a dessert cake. While it didn't feel luxurious, considering the $30 difference, the sunset, night view, and hula dance were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

ハワイアンディナーもあったのですが、金額の安いアペタイザー食べ放題にしました。タイ風の焼き鳥、肉団子など４品とデザートのケーキで、豪華感はなかったですが３０ドルの違いがあるとかと言えば、サンセットや夜景、フラダンスなどの主役は素晴らしく、充分堪能できました。

It was fully booked since I made a reservation for Friday night. I was worried if it would be too crowded. The sunset was hidden due to the clouds, but I was able to see the fireworks from the Hilton clearly.

The deck railing side was filled with people who boarded earlier, so I had to view from between them while sitting. The buffet tables are first-come, first-served, so if you board late, you won't get a good seat with a nice view. Since there is time until the fireworks, it might be a good idea to think about how to spend your time. The welcome drink was too sweet, and the alcoholic cocktails were just okay. Each person gets one lobster, so be careful not to overeat. It's a pretty standard buffet.

金曜日の夜に予約したので満席でした。こんなに乗れるのかな？と心配に。曇りでサンセットは隠れていて見られませんでしたが、ヒルトンの花火はしっかり見られました。
デッキの手すり側は先に乗船出来た人達で埋まっており、座ってだと人の隙間から見る感じ。
ビュッフェのテーブルは自由席で、遅く乗船になると眺めのいい席は座れないです。花火までは時間があるので、過ごし方を検討してみるといいかもしれません。ウェルカムドリンクは甘過ぎ、アルコールカクテルもちょっと・・・。ロブスターも一人ひとつ出るので食べ過ぎ注意。無難なビュッフェかと。

After two years, we returned to Hawaii, and since it was my wife's birthday, we booked a dinner cruise. I requested a surprise cake, and with the help of the onboard staff, we were able to have a wonderful birthday party with the kids. Thank you very much.

2年ぶりのハワイ、ちょうど妻の誕生日だったので久しぶりにディナークルーズを申し込みました。サプライズでケーキをお願いし、乗船スタッフのご協力もあり、子供達と素晴らしい誕生日パーティが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

The food and service were all very good. The dishes were suitable for my 4 and 8-year-old children, who even asked for seconds. The fruits were fresh as well. It was a luxury to view Waikiki from the seaside, and we were able to relax. The staff mentioned that it had rained the day before, but they saw a rainbow. That kind of scenery is nice too.

料理、対応全てとても良かったです。
4歳、8歳の子供たちにも口に合う料理でおかわりをしていました。フルーツも新鮮。
海側からワイキキを見るのはとても贅沢でゆっくりとすごせました。
前日は雨が降っていたようですが
虹が見られたとスタッフの方が言っていました。
そんな景色もいいですね。

7.5 billion people and I spent it my two favorite, my wife and daughter. Thanks for being part of our memories!

The food was poor. There were too few dishes, and despite taking too long from departure to the fireworks, the duration of the fireworks was too short.

食べ物がお粗末
料理の品数が少ないし、出港から花火迄の時間がかかりすぎのわりに花火の時間が少なすぎる

The sunset from off Diamond Head was absolutely beautiful. On the dinner cruise, I was fortunate enough to win a commemorative lobster, but the view of the Hawaiian sunset while cruising was simply elegant.

ダイヤモンドヘッド沖からのサンセットは最高に美しかった。ディナークルーズでは記念のロブスターが当たると言う幸運にも恵まれましたが、とにかくハワイの夕日をクルーズしながら見る景色は優美です。

At first, I thought the pickup time was too early, but since I arrived early, I was guided to a table with a view of the fireworks. The food was just okay. The fireworks started late, and I had to wait quite a bit, but the view was fantastic, and I was satisfied.

最初は、ピックアップ時間が早過ぎると思ってましたが、早く着いたため、花火が見える方のテーブルを案内してもらいました。
食べ物は、まぁ〜そんな感じかなって。
花火が上がる時間が遅く、かなり待ちましたが、最高の眺めで満足です。

I participated with my mother and aunt. Since it was the day before Independence Day, it was very quiet. We were able to enjoy a graceful cruise. The windows weren't very clean, so the view from inside the boat wasn't great, but it felt really nice when we went outside.

母と叔母と3人で参加しました。独立記念日の前日だったのでとても空いてました。優雅な感じでクルージングが出来ました。窓ガラスがあまり綺麗じゃなかったので船内からの景色はいまいち、でも外に出たらとても気持ち良かったです。

It was quite comfortable with little shaking. There were many people from overseas. The staff was very friendly. We could see a rainbow in a semicircle.

あまり揺れなくてかなり快適。
海外からの方々非常に多いです。
スタッフかなり親切でした。レインボーが半円でみれました。

This was my second dinner cruise on my third trip to Hawaii, but it seemed shorter than the last time. I was disappointed that the cruise ended before the night view started.

三度目のハワイ旅行で二度目のデイナークルーズでしたが前回より時間が短かつたようでした。夜景が始まる前にクルーズが終わり残念でした。

I used this service on the first day of my trip! Since we set sail while it was still light out, I was able to enjoy the beautiful blue sky, the blue ocean, and the view of Waikiki! I was also moved by the beauty of the sunset afterward! When we participated, it was very quiet. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely cruise while savoring a meal along with hula dancing and live singing! When choosing the sunset cruise, I was torn between a yacht or this option, but since I was with my mother this time, I was glad we chose the relaxing cruise with transportation included! I had checked the meal options in advance, so I didn't have high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed as long as I thought of it as a bonus. The staff's service was also good! I was especially happy that the bartender spoke Japanese and engaged in conversation with us!

旅行初日に利用しました！
明るいうちに出航するので、青空と青い海とワイキキの景色を気持ちよく堪能！その後サンセットの美しさに感動しました！
私たちが参加した時は、とても空いていました。そのおかげか食事をしながら、フラダンスと生歌を堪能し、ゆったりとクルージングを楽しめました！
サンセットクルーズを選ぶ時に、ヨットにするか迷いましたが、今回は母と一緒だったので送迎付きのゆっくり過ごせるクルージングにして良かったです！
食事内容は事前に確認していたので、あまり期待はせず、おまけ程度と思えば不満はありませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応も良かったです！特にバーテンダーの方が日本語の出来る方で、沢山話しかけて下さったのが嬉しかったです！

Last time, I watched the sunset on a cocktail cruise, so this time I decided to join a dinner cruise. I was satisfied to be able to sit back comfortably and enjoy the sunset and the city while sipping welcome champagne.

As for the meal, it felt similar to a lunch buffet that you could find in Japan for around 1,000 to 2,000 yen.

Perhaps a cocktail cruise where you choose and purchase your favorite items at a market or supermarket, and then enjoy them at the hotel while soaking in the atmosphere, might be a safer option.

前回は夕日をカクテルクルーズで観たため、今回は夕食付きクルーズをと思い参加しました。
ゆったりと席について、ウェルカムシャンパンをいただきながら夕焼けや街を観ることができ、それには満足しました。
食事については、日本で千～二千円くらいで食べられるランチビュッフェのような感じでした。

もしかしたら、カクテルクルーズ→マーケットやスーパーで好きなものをチョイスして購入し、ホテルで余韻にひたりながら食べる、とかのほうが無難かもしれません。

This was amazing, loved the top floor with the nice ocean breeze. I will definitely be doing this again when I come back!!

It was my first time seeing Waikiki from the ocean. The fireworks ended in about five minutes, but since we were seated on the third-floor deck for the appetizers, we had a great view during the fireworks.

海からワイキキをみるのは初めてでした。花火はものの5分程度で終了しましたが、アペタイザーは３階のデッキに最初から座るので花火のとき良い席でした。

Since we boarded on Friday, we were able to see the Hilton fireworks from the ship. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited variety of dishes at the buffet.

金曜日に乗船したので、ヒルトンの花火を船上から見ることができました。ただ、バイキングのお料理の種類が少なくてちょっと残念でした。

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this time, due to my retirement and our 35th wedding anniversary, I signed up for a sunset dinner cruise through VELTRA for the first time and participated.

It might just be me, but when I boarded the ship, other participants were already having dinner, and when I was shown to my seat, there was no explanation at all. I had no idea what to do, and my dissatisfaction started piling up from the beginning of dinner. To make matters worse, the photos I purchased were not handed to me on the spot but were given to me when I was getting off, which wasted time checking the faces of the buyers against the photos, leaving me in a terrible mood.

As for the cruise itself, I had previously been on the Navatek, and since this one also operated near Diamond Head, I thought it was good.

何度もハワイ旅行に行っていますが、今回は退職、結婚35年ということもあって、初めてサンセットディナークルーズをＶＥＬＴＲＡを通じて申し込み、参加しました。
私だけかもしれませんが、船舶に乗り込んだ時には、他の参加者はすでにディナーを取っており、席に案内された際に何の説明もなく、何をすればよいのか全然わからず、ディナー開始から不満が積もり、挙句の果てには購入した写真をその場で渡さず、降りる際に渡したため、購入者の顔と写真のチェックに無駄な時間だけがかかり、気分は最悪でした。
クルーズ自体は、以前ナバティック号に乗ったこともあり、今回もダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで運行したので良かったと思います。

The catamaran was supposed to be stable, but it rocked quite a bit due to the high waves. They took great care of my daughter, applying some aromatherapy to help with her seasickness! Unfortunately, I didn't eat much because I was busy looking after her, but there were many delicious-looking dishes!

双胴船で揺れにくい！ということでしたが波が高かったためかなりの揺れ。
酔った娘に アロマを塗ってくれたり、とても手厚くしてもらいました！
残念ながら、介抱のためほとんど食べずでしたが、美味しそうな料理がたくさんでした！

The space was spacious and very comfortable. We were guided to a designated table on the first floor for a buffet dinner before departure. After the meal, we relaxed in the lounge on the second floor while enjoying a leisurely sunset cruise. Off the coast of Waikiki, we enjoyed taking photos on the deck. Although it was a new ship, it wasn't overcrowded, so we could relax elegantly.

スペースがゆったりで非常に快適でした。
一階の指定されたテーブルに案内され、出港前にビュフェディナー。食後は二階のラウンジにてくつろぎながらサンセットクルーズをゆたりと楽しむ。
ワイキキの沖ではデッキに出て写真撮影を楽しんだ。新しい船だが多人数が乗船するのでないから
優雅にくつろげた。

I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was delicious. The fireworks were beautiful, but what left the biggest impression on me was when a whale jumped right next to the boat. I enjoyed both the dinner cruise and whale watching.

料理はあまり期待していなかったのですが、美味しかったです。
花火も綺麗だったのですが、一番印象に残ったのは、船のすぐ横で鯨がジャンプした事です。
ディナークルーズとホエールウォッチングの両方を楽しめました。

The sunset was cool.
After dark I enjoyed the Hawaii skyline even more.
Need to figure out a better flow through the buffet line. The people were entering the buffet area form both sides which caused confusion and not a lot of area to move around in.

The atmosphere of cruising while enjoying the breeze on the rooftop deck was fantastic. However, the air conditioning on the second floor was too strong, making it quite cold and not very comfortable for a long stay, so I recommend bringing a jacket for those participating. I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. This time, I happened to choose the fireworks viewing plan, but there was over two hours between sunset and the fireworks, which made the waiting feel tedious and tiring. Ultimately, I think a plan without fireworks viewing would have been better. Next time, I would like to board with a plan that doesn't include fireworks viewing.

屋上デッキで風を浴びながらのクルーズの雰囲気は最高でした。
ただ、２Ｆフロアーはクーラーがききすぎて、寒く、とても長居できないので、参加される方は、上着持参されたほうが良いと思います。
料理はそんなに期待しないほうが良いと思います。
今回たまたま花火鑑賞プランを選びましたが、サンセットから花火までの時間が２時間以上あるので、途中時間を弄び、逆に疲れました。
結果的には、花火鑑賞がついてないプランの方が良かったと思います。
次回は、花火鑑賞付きプラン以外で乗船したいと思います。

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.

First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"

The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.

2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は１階フロアで円卓の8人掛け　そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。　最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低　すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか！」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何！　そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし！　と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、　2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、　検討中の方々に参考になればと　思い投稿することにしました。

I used this service on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The staff were all very friendly and cheerful. When I tried to take a selfie, a staff member offered to take a photo for me. However, I felt that the variety of dishes at the buffet was a bit lacking, so I rated it one star lower. The taste was just okay. After finishing the meal, we moved to the upper floor to watch the sunset.

There wasn't much time between the meal and the sunset, and we had quite a bit of time to spare from sunset until we disembarked, but we enjoyed a wonderful time watching live performances and hula!

ハワイに到着した日に利用しました。
スタッフの方はニコニコ、とても感じの良い方達ばかりでした。
自撮りしようとしたら、写真撮りましょうか？とスタッフの方から声を掛けてくれました。
ただ、ビュッフェの品数が少し物足りなかったので☆−1です。味はまぁ、こんなものかなと行った感じです。
お食事が終わってから上の階へ移動し、サンセットを見ました。

食事〜サンセットまであまり時間がなく、日没〜船を降りるまで割と時間を持て余しましたが、生演奏やフラを見れて素敵な時間を過ごせました！
