I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time seeing fireworks, and I booked the Fireworks Cruise. It was wonderful to enjoy the fireworks while sipping drinks, and I didn't experience any seasickness, plus the cruise went all the way to Diamond Head, making for a very enjoyable time. The only downside was that the meeting point was hard to find.
Since I was staying at the Sheraton, I thought it would be easy to get to the designated spot, but I couldn't figure it out even while looking out at the coast. When the boat finally arrived, I assumed it was ours, but when I asked the crew, they told me our boat was docked on the other side of the Sheraton. I realized I had gone to the wrong meeting point just in time to barely make it for departure, and I had to run.
Regarding the meeting point, the explanation of "go past the Sheraton pool and head to the beach" is a bit misleading for those staying at the Sheraton, as it's easier to exit towards the Royal Hawaiian side. I think it would be more helpful to specify the Hale Koa side instead.
ハワイは何度か来ていますが、花火は初めてで、ファイアークルーズを予約しました。お酒を飲みながらゆっくり花火がみられて、心配していた船酔いもなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルーズがあって、とても楽しい時間でした。唯一のマイナスポイントは集合場所がわかりにくかったこと。
シェラトンに泊まっていましたので指定の場所まですぐのはずが、海岸を見渡してもわからず。
やっと船が来たので、てっきりそれだと思っていましたが、船員さんに聞くと私たちが乗る船はシェラトンの向こう側に泊まると。集合場所を間違えている事がわかったのが出航に間に合うかギリギリの時間で、慌てて走りました。集合場所について「シェラトンのプールの横を通って海岸に出る」という説明ではシェラトンに泊まっているとロイヤルハワイアン側に出るのが楽なので、ハレクラニ側と記載された方が親切だと思います。

It was nice to see the fireworks at night on the water. The drinks were good, but our catamaran was 10 mins late and the crew seemed more tired and ready to end a long work day.

Great experience overall, you will have to walk in ankle deep water so wear appropriate shoes. They offer free drinks and I’m not sure anyone was checking how many we had to I guess it’s unofficially unlimited. Wish it was a little longer of a ride the hour goes quickly

The drinks are all-you-can-drink, but there are no restrooms, so I couldn't drink much. After the fireworks at night, the night view of the sea is beautiful, but it got a bit chilly, so it's better to have a jacket. ^_^
飲み物は飲み放題ですが、トイレがないので、あまり飲めなかったです。
夜の花火の後は、夜の海で夜景は綺麗だけど、少し肌寒くなってきたので、上着があった方が良いです^_^

This cruise was not very good. The food was cold and the meat was mostly fat and if I could guess, it was about a 2 ounce cut of fat. The show was 2 people, doing a song. Not what I would think a show of the culture would be.

Sunset catarmaran sail was a blast! An ocean dance party pre-wedding night 5 July!
Walk onboard barefoot from the beach at Duke's through the gentle waves so put your fancy footwear in your bag or store your flipflops on board with all the others.
This was great value for money with the choice of two free-flowing cocktails throughout the trip.
Crew (skipper and ship's mate) are highly-skilled and friendly.
Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks, dont miss it!

We had a great time on the fireworks cruise. The crew was fun and energetic and made everyone laugh. The drinks were nice and strong and service was fast. Some folks seemed like they pre partied all day and got a little raunchy. Families with young kids should keep this in mind (this is also warned on their website). The view was great and the music was fun.
A nice way to end the day!

I participated in the fireworks viewing on Friday. Since it was said that we would get wet while boarding the boat, I went in shorts and sandals. I had seen fireworks before on the Star of Honolulu, but there was nothing obstructing the view this time, and since it was a catamaran yacht, we got close to the fireworks, making it much more impressive. Everyone was drinking Mai Tais, but I requested champagne or sparkling wine. They served us baby-sized bottles, one each. I drank quite a bit and honestly don't remember how I got back to the hotel—definitely a reminder to be careful not to drink too much!
金曜日の花火鑑賞に参加しましたボートに乗る際濡れるとなっていたので半ズボンとサンダルで行きました花火は以前スターオブホノルルでも見たことがあったのですが遮るものがないのとカタマランヨットなので近くまで行ったのでこちらの方が迫力があります 皆マイタイを飲んでいましたがシャンパン?スパークリングワインを所望しました ベビーサイズのボトルを1本づつ開けて出してくれていました 結構飲んでどうやってホテルに帰ったのかわからない位でした→飲み過ぎ注意ですね

When I went to the reception booth and showed my voucher, they said something like, "Please sign the agreement," and my husband and I each signed. We were told, "Be at that peach over there by 7:15," so we waited on the beach, and soon a boat approached from the sea.
We boarded the same boat that had been used for the previous sunset cruise. After the previous passengers disembarked and the cleaning and preparations were done, we were instructed to take off our shoes and roll our pants up to our knees as we got on board. The staff directed us to our seats, and we stored our shoes and bags in the space behind the chairs. After the staff introduced themselves and shared some safety points about the cruise, we set sail.
I was nervous about how to order drinks, but then they called out, "Who wants a Mai Tai? Raise your hand!" Almost everyone raised their hands. Plastic cups filled with ice and Mai Tais were distributed one after another, and cheers of "Kanpai!" echoed around. After that, we went to the counter to order our favorite drinks.
We moved around to take photos and exchanged shots with different groups. At exactly 8:00, fireworks went off, and there was a loud cheer. The weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the starry sky was beautiful. Along the way, the staff handed out snacks like Doritos.
Both the reception and the boat staff spoke only English, and they spoke quickly. Most of the passengers were foreigners, with probably just one other Japanese group besides us. I was nervous about how it would go, but everyone was a bit tipsy, laughing heartily, and we had a great time.
Even with my limited English, I was able to enjoy myself!
受付ブースに行ってバウチャーを見せると『同意書にサインしてねー』的なことを言われ、夫と各々サイン
『7時15分にあっちのピーチにいてねー』と言われ、浜辺でボーっと待っていたら沖から船が近づいてきた
前の時間のサンセットクルーズに使用したのと同じ船に乗るのね
前の乗客が降りて、清掃&準備が整うと、靴を脱いで乗るように言われ、ズボンを膝上まで捲り上げていざ乗船
スタッフが座る位置を指示してくれる
靴や荷物を椅子の背もたれにあるスペースに収納
スタッフの自己紹介とクルーズの注意点と思われる事を聞いて、いざ出航
どうやってドリンクの注文するのかとドキドキしてたら『マイタイ飲みたい人手を挙げてー』
ほぼ全員挙手
氷とマイタイが入ったプラカップが次々と配られて、あちこちでカンパーイの声
その後はカウンターのスタッフに好きな飲み物を注文しに行く
写真を撮ったり、違うグループ同士で撮り合いっこしたりで、好きな場所に移動
8時丁度に花火が上がって大歓声
お天気も良く波も穏やかで星空もキレイ
途中でスタッフがスナック菓子(ドリトス等)を配ってくれる
受付も船のスタッフも英語オンリー、しかも早口、乗客もほぼ外国人
日本人は私達以外に多分もう一組
どうなる事かとドキドキしたけれど、皆んなほろ酔いでゲラゲラ笑って楽しい時間を過ごせました
出川イングリッシュでも充分楽しめました

The hour went so quickly!
The boat was easy to find, right out the front of Duke's.
The boarding into the boat was relatively easy, there's stairs that come down from the centre of the boat that you climb up. We did get wet leaving the boat but that was okay!
We cruised around to where the fireworks happen and had a great view.
The time went so quickly!

Last year, the waves were calm, but this year the waves were big, and I was anxious about how to board the boat. The catamaran ran up onto the sandy beach to guide the guests. I managed to board safely and got a bench seat on the side deck.
Right away, a Mai Tai was served, and I felt fantastic. We enjoyed the fireworks at Hilton Hawaiian Village and disembarked safely. The weather wasn't great, but the sense of freedom was outstanding; it was a really good activity.
昨年は波が穏やかでしたが、今年は波が大きくて、どうやって乗船するのか、不安でした。カタマラン号は砂浜に乗り上げて、お客さんを案内。無事に乗船し、サイドデッキのベンチ席をゲット。
早速、マイタイが振る舞われて気分は最高、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのと花火を鑑賞して、無事に下船。天候がイマイチでしたが、解放感抜群、とても良いアクティビティです。

On June 24th (Friday), I was able to participate with peace of mind since there was a pickup service from Waikiki. The Hilton fireworks were somewhat lacking compared to Japanese fireworks, but the night view of Waikiki from the sea was very beautiful and wonderful. I was captivated and time flew by. I would like to use Veltra's tours again in Japan.
6月24日(金)ワイキキ送迎付きだったので安心して参加することができました。
ヒルトン花火は 日本の花火に比べると 物足りないものでしたが、 初めての海から眺めるワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で素晴らしく 見飽きることなく あっという間に時間がたちました。ベルトラのツアーはまた日本でも利用したいと思います。

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

I had completed the check-in early, but when moving from the reception counter to the boat, I ended up towards the back. Once on board, there were no seats available! A few of us had no choice but to stand near the captain as we set sail. It would have been fine during the day, but standing on the deck in the darkness after sunset was unsettling... I thought I would never do that again.
After the fireworks, I was able to secure a vacant seat, and we had a great time singing "Can't Help Falling In Love" together while feeling a bit tipsy. In any case, I recommend not lagging behind when moving to the boat.
チェックインは早く済ませていたのですが、受付カウンターからボートに移動する際に後ろのほうになってしまい、乗船してみると既に座る場所なし!仕方なく数人はキャプテンの近くに立ったまま出航になりました。昼間ならよいのですが、陽が落ちた後の暗闇の中をデッキに立ったままのセイリングは不安定で・・・二度と御免だと思いました。
花火後は空席を確保できたので、いい感じに酔った皆で「Can't Help Falling In Love」を合唱するなど、楽しかったですが。とにかくボートへの移動時に遅れをとらないことをお勧めします。
