All Reviews for Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruises

The package was exactly as described online. The meet up spot was very easy to find. The boat provided amazing views of the fireworks with fun music. The entire experience was about an hour and the workers on the boat were awesome. Drinks were also included, but honestly I did not find them to taste that great. Otherwise, this package was absolutely worth the money and I would definitely do it again!

The catermaran was easy on the eye. Check in was quick and pick up conveniently located outside Outrigger Hotel. A great way to see the fireworks.

It was good, but I wouldn’t go again. I thought we signed up for a luao, a nice dinner, and a bigger boat that wouldn’t roll as much. This had a small take out dinner, dance music that felt like we were at the bar and the workers pushed for you to drink alcohol. In other words, this trip wasn’t attended to go as a family trip.

Besides the expectations going in - it was good, just wouldn’t go again. That’s not our scene.

This experience was beyond my expectations! We came to Hawaii to celebrate my husband’s birthday and out of all the things we did, this was his favorite activity. The music was on point, everyone was super welcoming and the crew was amazing which made the experience even better!!! This is a most if you come to Oahu!!!!

We were the only Japanese people there. It was helpful to have notes in Japanese. The fireworks were also perfectly visible, which was great. I want to go again.

日本人は、私たちだけでした。日本語の注意事項もあり助かりました。花火もバッチリ見えてよかったです。また行きたいです。

Best place to see fireworks and have a little party too lol

We had an amazing time, enjoyed the view but the staff was more than welcoming!! We really enjoyed the views and the laughs you won’t regret it! The whole family enjoyed it!

The crew were both helpful and entertaining. Would definitely go out on this trip again.

10/10 recommend! Had so much fun, the staff was super friendly, fun & professional!

This is an experience you don't want to miss !
Crew and captain are definitely top tier !

The staff at the Outrigger's Holokai Catamaran were very pleasant, and once we set sail, the crew's service was also wonderful. We enjoyed the swells on the yacht while sipping rum mixed with passion fruit juice.

Around 7:30, the fireworks from the Hilton began, and we got more cocktails from the all-you-can-drink option, which added to the excitement.

As Japanese people, we might be a bit shy, but we enjoyed the cheerful and lively atmosphere created by the Western guests.

It became a very good memory. Thank you!

アウトリガーのホロカイカタマラン受付スタッフの対応が感じ良くて、出航すると、船頭？さんたちの対応が、また、素晴らしく、ヨットで波によるうねりを楽しみながら、ラム酒のパッションフルーツジュース割りをいただきました。
7時半過ぎ位から、ヒルトンの花火が始まり、飲み放題のカクテルをおかわりして、盛り上がりました。
我々日本人は恥ずかしがり屋かもしれませんが、西洋人の方々の陽気で明るい、多騒ぎを楽しませてもらいました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

We had so much fun. The crew were friendly and helpful. The fireworks were great. A perfect start to our Hawaiian holiday.

My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. The weather was pleasant and the fireworks and the views of the city at night were spectacular. The food was good and the drinks were very good. The sailboat was clean and comfortable. We both felt that the captain and crew did a really nice job. We would do it again if we if we ever go to Oahu.

The reception was a bit confusing, but once on the boat, it was very enjoyable and refreshing. I was able to enjoy delicious drinks and beautiful fireworks on the way home.

受付等ちょっとわかりづらかったですが、船に乗ればとても楽しく、気分爽快帰宅美味しいお酒と綺麗な花火を楽しめました

Lovely friendly staff. Great sail. Would definitely recommend this trip

This was so much fun!! One of the best highlights of my trip!! The city lights and fireworks were beautiful, a lovely sail and great crew!! Thankyou!!

Great experience from the massive firework display to the fabulous free drinks (Beers for me and cocktails for just about everyone else) The lads kept us entertained with some hilarious facts and jokes. Couldn't recommend it anymore.

We had an AMAZING time on the fireworks cruise! Crew was a blast and the drinks were yummy! Thank you so much for your hospitality! Highly recommend doing ☺️

The staff were friendly and fun. The drinks were made quickly, and tasted good. The cruise itself was beautiful. Music was good and diverse. We had a very clear view of the fireworks. Me and my family anjoyed the cruise very much and will do it again next time we're in waikiki.

This was so refreshing and fun, I would definitely do this again!

It was fun, but not meant for minors. This was a firework cruise, with an open bar. I just didnt realize it would be less minors and more abou the open bar. Which is my own fault. the crew was great.

On my last trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise and had a great time, so this time, since the day before my return was a Friday, I joined a fireworks viewing cruise. It seems that some other tours don't allow you to see the sunset due to departure times, but this tour lets you enjoy both. There are sightseeing boats and yachts, but I recommend the yacht. It departs from in front of the Prince Hotel, and you can get there from Waikiki by taking bus numbers 20, 23, or 42. On the way back, I took the E bus. Tips are separate, and there was a box provided for them when disembarking.

前回のハワイ旅行ではサンセットクルーズに参加してとても良かったので、今回は帰国前日が金曜だったこともあり花火鑑賞のクルーズに参加しました。他のツアーでは出発時間の関係で夕日が見られないツアーもあるようですが、このツアーは両方見られます。船は遊覧船とヨットがありますがヨットの方がお勧めです。プリンスホテルの前から出航ですが、ワイキキからは20，23，42番のバスで移動できます。帰りはEに乗りました。チップは別で下船の際に入れる箱が用意されていました。

Great captain, great crew, great friends, beautiful night. Who good ask for more!

It was a lot of fun and lovely to see the fireworks and the night sky filled with stars! We are going to do it again! :-)

Last time I participated, I had a wonderful time watching the sunset from the boat, enjoying the views of Waikiki from the sea, and watching the fireworks. I wanted my children to experience this as well, so I joined again as a repeat customer. It was just as I had hoped, and my children seemed to enjoy it too, so I'm glad I repeated the experience. The staff remembered me as a returning guest and welcomed me, which made it another delightful experience.

前回、参加した際、船上からのサンセット、海側からのワイキキの風景と夜景、それに花火の鑑賞は、大変良い時間を過ごせた思いがあり、子供らにもぜひ体験をしてほしくリピーターとして参加しました。思っていたとおりの時間を過ごせ、子供らも満喫した感じもあり、リピートして良かったです。スタッフの皆さんも、リピーターとして覚えていてくれていて、歓迎してくれ、それもまた嬉しい体験でした。

Choosing this activity on the first day of my trip was a great decision, especially considering the jet lag (I have snorkeling, surfing, and skin diving planned for the next day).

Since I was the first to arrive at the meeting point and there were no signs indicating the location for Veltra, I was a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. However, a staff member came out from the building, but I thought it would be nice to have some kind of flag or sign.

Fortunately, the meeting point was close to the Outrigger Reef hotel, and the check-in process went smoothly. However, there were other groups from different countries that arrived late, which made us wait quite a bit. It felt a bit frustrating since I had arrived early. But I guess that's just how it is internationally.

No one was wearing masks. The sense of freedom from not wearing a mask was incredible. At first, I wondered if it was really okay, but I gradually got used to it.

I couldn't understand the crew's explanations in English, but they were very considerate towards the Japanese participants, so there were no issues. It felt like we could enjoy ourselves even without a common language, as we shared beers and had fun together. However, I always feel that I should have studied more English. If I understood the language better, it would have been even more enjoyable. (I'm currently looking for a translation app.)

However, it felt like I was being welcomed by the sea, wind, air, scenery, and fireworks of Hawaii. This is a wonderful activity to fully enjoy the eternal summer of Hawaii's ocean. I highly recommend it.

時差ボケなどもあるだろうからと、旅行初日に本アクティビティを選択し正解でした（次の日からシュノーケリング、サーフィン、スキンダイビングが控えています）。
集合場所に一番乗りだったため、ベルトラの集合場所という表示も何もないため、ここで本当に良いのか不安でした。担当員が建物の中から出てきてくれましたが、何かのぼり旗のような表示があればいいのになと思いました。
しかし、ホテル（アウトリガーリーフ）からも集合場所が近く、スムースに受付もできました。が、他国の遅れてくるグループがありだいぶ待たされました。せっかく早めに行ったのにという感じでした。が、それがインターナショナルなんでしょうね。
マスクをしている人はいません。マスクからの解放感は半端ないです。最初は本当にいいのかなという感じでしたが、次第に慣れていきます。
クルーの説明は英語で理解できませんでしたが、日本人にもクルーが大変気を使ってくれて何も問題はありません。ビールを飲んで一緒に盛り上がりましょうという感じで、言葉は通じなくても楽しめます。が、もっと英語を勉強しておけばよかったといつも痛感します。言葉がわかれば、もっと楽しいのになって。（今通訳アプリなどを探しています）
しかし、ハワイの海、風、空気、景色、そして花火で歓迎を受けているようでした。常夏のハワイの海を満喫できるすばらしいアクティビティです。おすすめです。

The booze cruise was amazing! It was on the beautiful waters that included a sunset. We had a DJ and bar on board. Double decker yacht-like boat that was a blast! The hosts/staff definitely join in on the fun and keep the vibe going. Plan to return on my next trip to Waikiki!

This was a ladies night with friends. We haven’t seen each other over 3 years. This was perfect to get together.

We were probably 50/50 on whether we should do this but we loved it. Was a great event and the crew and general atmosphere really made it. The boat was great and there was plenty to drink and it was a nice night. Would highly recommend especially if you have family old enough to drink its good fun..

It was an Amazing experience. We spent the loveliest time in the middle of the ocean, saw the sunset & danced till we got tired. It was very clean, well maintained boat. Crew was very nice & friendly.
