Family-Friendly Waikiki Friday Night Fireworks Cruise & Glass Bottom Boat Tour

Cruise

Reviewed by: Peter & Louise-Aust.

Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Great time!

Reviewed by: Greg Raymer

I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.

The best cruise. 最高のクルーズ

Reviewed by: もんじゃ

I participated with a friend. I think this price is quite cheap considering it includes transportation, meals, and one drink. Most participants were from English-speaking countries, with only about 3 to 4 groups of Japanese. The explanations given on the ship after departure (such as the location of life jackets and the description of drink containers) were all in English. The meal was served buffet-style, and I think it's best to expect light snacks. The flavors were very delicious and seemed to appeal to Japanese tastes! It was the perfect time to relax, swaying with the waves while enjoying dinner and watching the sunset.

We cruised near Diamond Head until the fireworks started, but the waves were quite strong, which was a bit scary. (I recommend it for those who enjoy amusement park attractions like the "Viking" ride.) The wind was also quite strong, so it's essential to prepare for the cold. The fireworks can be seen beautifully from the front! After the fireworks ended, we headed back to the port, but I was a bit tired of the strong wind, so I was actually grateful for it (laughs). If I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.

友人と参加しました。
送迎、食事、ワンドリンクが付いてこの価格はかなり安いと思います。
参加者はほぼ英語圏の方ばかりで、日本人は3～4組くらいでした。
出発後に行われた船内の説明(救命胴衣の場所や、ドリンクの容器の説明など)はすべて英語です。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、軽食程度だと思って参加した方が良いかと思います。
日本人受けしそうな味付けで、とても美味しかったです！
船内の思い思いの場所で、食事をしながらゆったり波に揺られて、夕日を眺める最高の時間でした。
花火開始まで、ダイアモンドヘッド近くをクルーズしていましたが、波が強すぎて少し怖いくらいでした。
(遊園地の『バイキング』的なアトラクションが好きな方にはオススメ)
風もかなり強いので、絶対に防寒対策は必要です。
花火も正面からとても綺麗に見れます！
花火終了後は、すぐに港に引き返しますが、強風に少しうんざりしていたので、むしろ有り難かったです(笑)
ハワイを訪れたら、また絶対に参加したいと思います。

A lovely night. 素敵な夜

Reviewed by: 福岡県 ９．２９

This tour, which allows you to enjoy both the sunset and fireworks, was highly rated in reviews, so I signed up without hesitation! On the day of the tour, there were some thin clouds... I set sail hoping to see a beautiful sunset. There were few Japanese people on the boat, mostly foreigners, which made me really feel like I was abroad. If you're good at English, I encourage you to join this tour and share a fun time with people from various countries! By the way, I can't speak English, but I was able to interact with a few foreigners, and it was enjoyable.

I was worried about the sunset, and although there were some clouds, the view peeking through was also beautiful! There were people on yachts watching the sunset, and my favorite photo of the sunset was taken through the yacht. As the day gradually turned to night, everyone eagerly awaited the vibrant fireworks that lit up the dark sky, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. It was a short time, but it was definitely worth it! I can't believe I got to see the first fireworks of the year in Hawaii! The staff were kind, and I truly felt that joining this tour was a great decision!

If you're considering participating in the tour, I highly recommend it for a wonderful night out of the ordinary!

サンセットと花火鑑賞が出来ると言う二度美味しいこのツアー、口コミ評価も高かったので迷わず申し込み！
当日は薄っすらと雲が…綺麗なサンセットが見れますようにと思いを馳せながら出航。
船には日本の方は少なく殆どが外国の方ばかりで海外に来たな〜っと実感出来る時間でした。
英語が得意な方はこのツアーに参加して色んな国の方と交流して楽しい時間を分かち合って楽しいひと時を過ごして下さい♪
因みに私は英語は話せませんが何名かの外国の方と交流が出来て楽しかったです。
心配していたサンセットは若干雲がありましたが雲間からこぼれ出す景色もまたよかったです！
周りにはヨットからサンセットを眺めている人達も居てヨット越しに写したサンセットの写真が、私の１番のお気に入りです♪
段々と日が暮れ皆んながまだかと待ちわびていた真っ黒な空に色鮮やかな花火が皆んなの歓声と共に広がった。
短時間だったけど見応えはあった！
今年最初の花火をハワイで見れるとは♡
スタッフの方々も優しくてこのツアーに参加して本当によかったと思いました！

ツアー参加を検討している方も是非参加して非日常の素敵な夜を過ごして下さい☆

Reviewed by: Chris

Lovely cruise to watch the fireworks. Crew were lovely. I think its a bit overpriced (US$50) as there aren't any drinks included. Also when the bar opened there was only 1 glass of white wine left! I've previously been on the sunset cruise and think it was better value.

It was different from what I imagined. 想像より違っていた。

Reviewed by: すぅさん

From the description and images, I imagined a course meal to be enjoyed at a table, but when I actually participated, it was a buffet style, with dining taking place somewhere on the ship. The fireworks were not viewed up close, but rather from a distance; however, I think the viewing points were not bad. It was also nice that the deck was open, allowing us to sit wherever we liked.

写真の画像、説明文から、コース料理、テーブルで食べるイメージをしていましたが、
実際に参加してみると、バイキング形式、船のどこかで食べるといったスタイルでした。
花火も間近での鑑賞ではなく、遠くで見る感じでしたが、鑑賞ポイントは悪くないと思います。
デッキも自由だったので、好きなところにすわれたのは良かったと思います。

The experience was fun, the catamaran is nice with plenty of seating & standing room. Some drinks at the bar, you just cruise out, watch the fireworks & cruise back. The kids had a great time but I think it's definitely better for adults without kids. Fireworks go for about 5 mins.

Waikiki Fireworks Sail & Honolulu Booze Cruise with Drinks Included - Holokai Catamaran

A serene experience

Reviewed by: Traveler from the UK

I went on the Friday Fireworks Sail in August 2016. I'd been on two sunset sails before and wanted to try something different. When we set off after sunset there was still enough light to see the coast clearly and everything looked a little magical in the twilight. As darkness fell the clouds were illuminated with a golden glow from the last rays of the Sun. The twinkling lights from Waikiki shone brightly as the cooling ocean breeze wafted gently across the boat. It was a serene experience. The climax of the trip is the fireworks display at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It only lasts a few minutes but you get a perfect view from the catamaran.
