90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Fireworks & Moonlight Sail with Open Bar

AWESOME!

Reviewed by: Miya

I went on the fireworks cruise with a friend of mine and it was definitely a trip to remember. The drinks were fantastic and the crew was so friendly. It was definitely something I would do again and I did! Except the next time I did the sunset cruise. The fireworks were spectacular from the boat and was worth it.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Romance and Dance

Reviewed by: Jersey Girl

I was swept away by the sunset, full moon, dancers, mai tis, whale watching and our MC for the evening. Because I was traveling solo I was the center of focus majority of the evening :) (I didn't mind) The level of participation and energy from everyone in the room was mind blowing. Can not wait to return, but with a significant other.

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Fireworks & Moonlight Sail with Open Bar

Pleasantly Surprised!

Reviewed by: Leslie C.

When our original fireworks sail was canceled, we were told this sail would be comparable. However, when the confirmation was sent it clearly stated we would not see the fireworks regularly scheduled on Friday evenings since we would be ashore before the fireworks began. We were devastated. BUT... much to our surprise and NOT mentioned on line or the confirmation/voucher documents, we sailed amidst the local sailboat club's Friday sunset "race". It was absolutely breathtaking to sail with several other boats in the sunset. The crew make some awesome Maitai's too! Enjoy!!!

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Fireworks & Moonlight Sail with Open Bar

Fireworks show and cocktails

Reviewed by: Mrs.Osaki

Waikiki was the destination of our honeymoon and a Fireworks Cocktail Cruise sounded perfect! I didn't anticipate how DARK it would be when arriving to the boat. It should have been obvious...but I didn't think about it. It was cumbersome to board the boat due to the tide and needing to board from another area a catamaran had left from. This meant we had to walk over a concrete divide that had been slightly eroded to access the ship. Was a little tricky.
The staff for the event was great. Full of energy and kept everyone informed of what was happening. The boat was full of happy tourists ready to party. Drinks flowed quickly and if you were adept enough to weave through the crowd in bobbing waves--there was not problem in accessing beverages. Since it was super dark, it was hard to see how to get around the boat. We unfortunately sat by the toilet on deck which was hysterical. It basically was a clear plastic top that opened and you climbed down stairs that felt like a propped up ladder. Inside it was really tight to move (duh, it's a catamaran). My husband said he didn't know how women would actually use it if they needed to sit. Best of all was---since it was so dark, the only light you could see was from the toilet; and if you were down there...EVERYONE could look down and see you. It was one of my favorite take-aways from the experience.

Overall the cruise was fun, staff was great, and drinks were solid. Hard part is having only a few minutes of fireworks...and then floating around in the dark with a boombox and sitting next to the bathroom.

If I was to book a cocktail cruise again...I'd choose the happy hour to enjoy the sunset.

A Great Experience

Reviewed by: James

The catamaran sail was a great experience. The crew were friendly and enthusiastic and the other passengers were all happy to chat. Getting to see the fireworks from the ocean is an amazing thing and I am very pleased that I went. I would definitely go again next time I am in Honolulu and I recommend it whole-heartedly.

Delightful Experience!!!

Reviewed by: Vern Lentz

I have lived in Hawaii since 1985. My niece from Indiana visited for a week. I took her on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise, having never been on it myself. I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome! We both loved it. The pre-boarding hula & Hawaiian music, the on-board entertainment, the food, the views and the friendly staff were all very enjoyable. When other friends and family come to visit, I will be sure to take them. It was the highlight of my niece's visit!

Highlight of our trip

Reviewed by: Julie

Amazing time, fun atmosphere! We went as a family of 4 adults a 7yr old & 1yr old. I wasn't too sure if it would be children friendly but it was. Well worth the money. It was a great start to our vacation. The Maitais were great but be careful they creep up on you. The captain & bartender were amazing and attentive. Just bring a light coat because it is at night and of course with the wind it could get chilly but good thing I read a review and went prepared. Loved it!!!

花火鑑賞セーリング マカニ・カタマラン号 嬉しいドリンク付き!<ワイキキ送迎可/金曜日限定/ケワロ湾発>

Can you ride this much? こんなに乗れるの?

Reviewed by: yu3in

At first, I thought there were about 50 people on board. There were only us and one other group of Japanese people. There wasn't any special event, but the food was delicious, and we got to see Diamond Head, surfers, the sunset, and since we went on a Friday, we also saw the Hilton fireworks. It was really great! Initially, I had booked a different tour, but it got canceled when we entered the dry dock, so I chose this tour instead. I highly recommend it and plan to go again next year.

最初思いましたが、結構50人位乗っていたような?気がします。、
日本人は私たちともう1組のみでした~
何か催しものがあるわけではないのですが、ご飯もおいしかったし、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サーフィンする人たち、夕日、さらに、金曜日に行ったのでヒルトンの花火も見れたし~本当によかったです!
最初は実は別のツアーを予約していましたが、ドライドックに入るとキャンセルになり
こちらのツアーにしましたが、おすすめだし、来年も行こうと思います。

The sunset sail wasn't actually at sunset and we didn't get underway till 1/2 hour past sunset and 1/4 hour past the said sail time. We also finished early only spending 1 hour sailing. Having said that I would still recommend as it was great.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Spectacular Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Gail

This dinner cruise was truly spectacular. We checked in and seemed to be upgraded from the roast beef dinner to the steak and crab dinner. Love it! We were seated at an intimate table for two on the side of the stage and were able to start eating while the rest of the guests were seated with efficiency. It didn't take long for us to be on our way and dinner was served. The steak was medium rare and delicious and the crab (if not a little cold) was wonderful. Entertainment was superb! We enjoyed the beautiful sunset and even spotted a few whales in the distance and enjoyed the Polynesian entertainment. We were able to stroll all decks and since the 2nd deck was not occupied enjoyed a quiet moment before returning to the dock. Enjoyed every minute.

What a night! It took 46 years of marriage to finally get to Hawaii and enjoyed it to the fullest including the romantic cruise watching the fireworks. Perfect night weather and sea conditions. Beautiful shorline with the colorful night lights. Can't wait to return...hopefully sooner than 46 more years!

Reviewed by: Eri

We headed to the location by rental car, but we were running late. However, seeing that we were in a hurry, the boat staff waited for us a little. Onboard, there were many families, and when the boat started moving, it felt a bit chilly, but once we entered the cabin, it was fine. The fireworks were very beautiful. Although they weren't as powerful as I expected, the view of Waikiki was stunning.

レンタカーで、現地まで向かったが、出発時刻より、時間が過ぎていた。
しかし、急いでいる私たちを見て、船のスタッフが少し待ってくれました。
船上は、家族連れもたくさんいて、船が動きだすと、少し肌寒く感じましたが、船内に入れば、問題無し。花火は、とてもきれいでした。
思っていたより花火に迫力がなかったですが、ワイキキが見渡せて、とてもきれいでした。

Good cruise but was disappointed that it stated Fireworks and they brought us back to land to watch it and not on the catamaran where we would have gotten a great view. Don't advertise fireworks and then don't deliver. We could have paid the lesser price and got the same thing. Just sayin!!

It was so much fun that I couldn't help but laugh! 笑っちゃうほど楽しかった!

Reviewed by: mks

We were the only Japanese people. When we arrived at the location, the small boat was completely different from what I had imagined. And there was a restaurant that looked like a ruin right next to it. At first, I felt really anxious. Is this okay? Is this the right place? But after completing the procedures, it seemed to be correct. Despite my worries, we started!!

The boat allowed us to feel the waves and wind, which was really pleasant! Since there were no other Japanese people, it really felt like we were overseas! It was a fun experience that you definitely can't have on a two or three-story boat. It was like an adventure! We were also able to see the fireworks clearly, which made me very satisfied. It was an incredibly casual night cruise with a great sense of openness. I'm very satisfied!

日本人は私たちのみ。現地に到着するとイメージしていた船とは全く異なる小さな船が。そして廃墟のようなレストランがすぐそばに。最初とっっっても不安になりました。これは、大丈夫か?と。合ってるの?
と。でも手続きをしたら合っている模様。不安になりながらもスタート!!
波と風を感じられる船でとっても気持ちが良い!日本人がいないので海外にきてるなー!という感じ。二階建てや三階建ての船では絶対に体験できない楽しさ。まるでadventure!花火もしっかりと見ることができ大満足。開放感抜群のカジュアルすぎるナイトクルーズ。満足です!

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Fireworks & Moonlight Sail with Open Bar

Spectacular Evening!!! Let's Sail!!

Reviewed by: ArchAOD

A fun relaxing evening to put it simply. First there's the no hassle boarding right off the beach as the catamaran comes right up onto the beach. There may be a line but boarding is quick with lots of room for everyone once on board. You get underway very quickly, a brief safety talk, and then your motoring out past the waves to station yourself for the fireworks show. Drinks are as free flowing as you want distributed by the crew of one in a very efficient manner. The fireworks show looking back at the beach is pretty good - how can it not be- your on a boat in the Pacific, looking at skyline of Waikeke and it's 82 degrees!!! After the fireworks the captain raises the sails and you cruise along the coast. BUT - the best part of the trip is talking with the other passengers- my family met a group from New Zealand and we spent the time talking about differences between the two cultures as similiar as they may be to each other. We have 17 year old twins (boy & girl) and they also had lots of fun !! The price was a very good value, the time at sea was about right- Highly recommended!!
