Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.

The waves were really strong, and I got seasick... I definitely regret not watching from the beach. Also, both the reception and the boat staff only spoke English, so I couldn't understand anything.
波が凄く 船酔いしました...,

We have been to Hawaii several times and I kind of wanted to do a luau again, but also love getting on the water… This cruise is both… Quite a good deal! Also always fun!
I would recommend doing this dinner cruise, one of your first nights in Hawaii.

I was busy filming a video, so I couldn't take pictures of the fireworks, but watching the fireworks while drinking beer on a dark boat was the best!

We booked the Friday night fireworks cruise for Halloween. We got married that day and this was a fun way to celebrate with our adult children. The cruise was fun and the kids enjoyed the open bar. The fireworks were great.
You load the boat on the beach so wear shoes that are easy to slip off.

We got married an hour before the sunset Catamaran cruise. We were so excited to finish the day with a champagne toast and the Hilton fireworks show from the boat. Great music, great group of happy passengers, the sailing crew were vibing with us. It was a beautiful night.
The only thing wrong was my new husband's foot was bleeding. The staff will tell you to take off your shoes before the short walk on the beach to clamber onto the boat. Rethink removing your shoes. We don't know what he stepped on, but he sheared off some skin. Now he can't walk, drive or work according to the wound care specialist. We have been home for 3 weeks and he's still showering with a bag over his foot.
Despite the barefoot calamity, the ease of booking was great. The price was reasonable. The boat was clean and comfortable. Everything was on point. I truly would recommend this cruise to just about anyone.
Getting married in Hawaii was the absolute best. The wedding, the sunset, the boat, champagne, fireworks... it was almost a Perfect day!!
Consider keeping your shoes ON.

This is the 2nd time in 2 years that I have done this catamaran cruise to watch the Friday night fireworks from the water. This time I invited friends who are locals to join me. They were impressed. The crew is amazing. The drinks are great, the view is spectacular. Unfortunately the fireworks show seems to get shorter every year. HOWEVER, that is not the fault of the crew. It’s still an amazing evening and I will do it again next trip despite the fact that I typically stay at the Hilton and could see the fireworks from my condo or from the beach, but doing it with Ke Kai takes the whole experience to a whole new level.

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.

When getting on the boat, there's a high possibility of getting wet up to your knees. (I timed my run to jump on the boat with the waves, so I didn't get wet.) I read in reviews that they gave out small snacks, but this time there were none (?). Since I was drinking alcohol, I wish there had been some snacks (if you need them, bring your own). The Mai Tai was delicious, and I ended up drinking too much.
Thanks to everyone's advice, I brought a jacket. It got chilly with the sea breeze, so wearing a light windbreaker was just right. My partner didn't bring one and ended up wrapping himself in the bath towel I brought.
When getting off the boat, they ask for tips, so it might be good to have some cash on hand. I only had a few dollars or a $100 bill, and I gave them a few dollars, but I felt bad because it seemed too little.
The boat felt like a moving bar, and the fireworks and night view from the sea were amazing. I want to participate again next year!
船に乗る時に膝くらいまで濡れる可能性大です。(私は波のタイミング見て走って乗ったので濡れませんでした)
口コミでは小さなスナックをくれたって書いてあったんですけど、今回は(?)なしでした。お酒飲むのでおつまみあったら良かったなぁ〜(必要な人は持参して)
マイタイ美味しくて飲み過ぎました。
皆さんのアドバイスで上着を持参しました。海風に当たっていたら冷えてきたので薄いウィンドブレーカーを着てちょうど良かったです。相方は持参せず、私が持って行ったバスタオルを羽織ってました。
船を降りる時にチップ要求されるので、適当な現金持ってた方が良いかも。数ドルか100ドル札しかなくて、数ドル渡したけど少なくてごめんなさいって感じでした。
船は動くバーみたいで、海から見る花火と夜景はサイコーでした。
また来年も参加したいです。
A jacket is essential. It might be good to have some snacks as well. Feel free to ask for drinks yourself. (A passport is required.)
上着は必須。おつまみもあった方が良いかも。
お酒は自分から声をかけてね。(パスポート必須です)
素晴らしいアドバイスをありがとうございます!また私たちと一緒に航海していただけることを願っています...いつも違って美しいです。
Mahalo for such a wonderful set of tips! We hope you will come and sail with us again...it is always different and beautiful.

I participated in May.
At 19:15, a group that enjoyed the sunset cruise returned. We boarded the ship and departed at 19:30.
We headed out to sea and anchored near Hilton, facing the Hilton.
At 19:45, the fireworks began.
I have experienced watching fireworks at Hilton Lagoon and Fort DeRussy Beach before, but this time it was the most luxurious viewing while sitting and sipping on a Mai Tai.
The fireworks ended in five minutes. After that, we headed east (toward Diamond Head) for about an hour of night sailing. We enjoyed unlimited sparkling wine, beer, and cocktails while listening to pop music.
We returned around 21:00.
The side-to-side rocking wasn't too bad, but there was some up-and-down motion when crossing the waves. I sat near the center, so I didn't get splashed much. My wife was worried about seasickness and took some motion sickness medication, but she said she didn't feel any nausea at all.
It was $80 per person; the cost-performance evaluation varies for everyone, but I enjoyed it enough.
