Waikiki
The cruise was very nice. On time arrival. Great seating. Amazing bartender!! captain dave was a fun!! Really enjoyed the take home cups!!
It was so beautiful when the fireworks started on the water.We had a great time on boat.
It took a little time before departure, but more importantly, once we boarded the boat, the staff made it fun and enjoyable. Inside the boat, we took off our shoes and went wherever we liked to enjoy the scenery and the breeze. Drinks and food were provided, and until the fireworks started, there was background music playing. The staff frequently checked on our drinks and brought them to us, and they also came around with desserts. The fireworks lasted about five minutes, but the view of the star-filled sky against the dark backdrop and the pleasant breeze were wonderful.
出発まで少し時間がかかりましたが、そんなことより
船に乗りスタッフさんが盛り上げてくれ楽しく過ごせましたよ
船内は、靴を脱ぎ入ると好きなとこに行って景色、風を楽しみました
ドリンクと食事が用意されていて花火が始まるまでBGM が流れスタッフさんが
よくドリンクを聞いて持ってきてくれたり 、デザートも持って回ってきてくれました
花火は5分ぐらいで終わりましたが、真っ暗な空から満点の星、風が良かったです

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.
Great fun, short cruise but a good view of the fireworks. Fair bit of seating on the vessel, bar on board with basic drinks for cash. Board from the beach, beautiful evening activity for August.
Love it, love it , love it!
I don't drink, and I do not need it to feel a very nice environment, every body was very happy. Well done organize.
Was a very lovely trip. The boys running it were fabulous and certainly in the right spirit. Just ensure you go to the Outrigger Reef... And not the Outrigger. This needs to be made clearer. An absolutely fun trip.
I made a reservation without any issues for the Hilton dinner cruise, but I realized that I should have checked the reviews before booking. To put it simply, the price for this experience is too high. The boat, the staff, the food, and the Hilton fireworks—everything really is subpar as others have commented. At around $80, I would have found the price acceptable, but at this rate, it’s understandable to call it a rip-off.
ヒルトンのディナークルーズなので、問題なく予約してみましたが、レビューは見てから予約しなければいけないことと思い知りました。一言で申し上げますと、この設定でこの価格は高すぎますね。船、船のスタッフ、食事、ヒルトンの花火、流れ的に他のコメントが本当ですべて三流です。８０ドルくらいなら価格的にも納得ですが、これではボッタクリと言われても仕方ありませんね。

Friendly crew, fireworks were great. If you buy the cup you get a discount rate for rinks for future use
My wife and I took the Maitai Sunset Sail for our wedding anniversary. Our crew, Ian and Lindsey, made the sail fun and Lindsey made sure that our hands never went without a glass. Water was beautifully calm, view from the waterfront was spectacular, and the fireworks just topped it off. I highly recommend this outing to anyone.
This was an awesome adventure. We had 8 people in our group and the crew was so courteous and accommodating in helping our 82 year old Mom to get on and off the catamaran. The Fireworks Friday Sail is a must if visiting Honolulu. We enjoyed and will definitely do this activity again when we visit. Everything was just perfect. Thanks.
The sunset before boarding the ship was also moving. I ended up getting seasick, which made it impossible for my girlfriend to enjoy the fireworks. I'm sorry, as the fireworks must have been amazing.
船に乗る前の夕日も感動です。船酔いをしてしまい彼女に花火どころではない状況を作らせてしまいました。花火は最高だったはずなのにごめんなさい。

The weather was a little disappointing with some light rain but aside from that everything was fantastic. Fireworks were spectacular and the evening was topped off by a lovely bbq dinner - so good we went back again!
The Holokai beached itself with time to spare and after a quick clean up on board when the previous group departed( the boat, not died), there was a name check and then with footwear secured in boxes to be taken on board, we climbed the steps and got underway. There was the usual safety briefing re life jackets and areas to stand and not stand in, then the bar was open and the cocktails were served - delicious. The sea was a bit choppy but it didn't detract from the awesomeness of sailing, drinking cocktails and watching fireworks - with my wife. It doesn't get any better. The crew were great and I got the feeling that even though we were drinking, they wouldn't allow it get out of hand. Very professional and very enjoyable.
This was a great evening activity for a Friday. The check-in process was super-simple, we even had extra time so we went to the small bar to the right of the check-in stand. Then we lined up and where able to board the vessel. I recommend shorts, as this is a barefoot cruise. I got a little wet but others weren't so fortunate. The cruise was a quite ride out, then down to Diamond Head and back near Magic Island to see the fireworks. Overall a great experience.
Honestly, it could not have been better! Everything was perfect!!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!
We booked this event last minute e.g. the afternoon before the event day and we're lucky that we got on. We enjoyed the trip. The food was ok perhaps average for the price of the event. 2 alcoholic baverages were included subsequent alcoholic drinks were 1$ (beer, wine) or 2$ (cocktails, mixed drinks) which is very cheap. So a good deal for people who can drink a lot. The crew was friendly, helpful and knowledgable.
We were a family of 8 people that included 4 young adult children looking for a fireworks cruise that included dinner and found this cruise on this website that was very well priced.
The fireworks are on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village every Friday night and the Hilton put on a fireworks cruise at a more expensive price but I wasn't sure if we would like the food so decided to go for this cruise that included BBQ buffet dinner at Shore Bird restaurant in the Outrigger hotel. We met the Holokai catamaran on the beach directly out front of the Shore Bird restaurant. The crew were friendly and we were able to purchase our drinks on board and got to keep our cocktail shaker that we bought our drinks in, nice souvenir! We sailed out to position in front of the Hilton Hotel Rainbow tower.
Such a lovely tour to do whether you are a small or large group and then return to the beach to make your way to a BBQ of fish,chicken or steak and help yourself to the all you can eat salad buffet followed by desert.
We had the steak and fish for dinner and we're happy with our meals, I especially liked their potato salad int the salad buffet as well.
The restaurant overlooks the beach and they also have karaoke. I would highly recommend this cruise as it is well priced and it gives you the option of dinner or no dinner if you would prefer to eat elsewhere.
The actual activity was great. The boat was new, and the staff was friendly. I docked one star only because VELTRA had the wrong time listed on their website and confirmation. They said we were loading at 6:30PM but the actual loading time was 7:15PM, the booking site had it wrong. Other than that it was a great experience.
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.
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!!!
What a great way to spend a Hawaiian sunset!
Capt Jake and Travis made sure we enjoyed our cruise.
Dinner at the Shorebird was good, Friday night fireworks and Karaoke was a bonus
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.
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.
The cruise was good, the weather, not so much. The captain and bartender were very friendly, and entertaining.
We were a bit anxious being the only Japanese people, but fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member from Okinawa, and we were able to have a fun conversation about Hawaii. It's a great tour where you can enjoy both fireworks and the sunset.
日本人は僕たちだけで不安でしたが、たまたま沖縄出身の日本人スタッフがいて楽しいハワイの話をすることが出来ました。花火とサンセットの両方を味わえるお得なツアーです。

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!!!
This was the worst dinner cruise I've ever experienced. It felt more like a fishing boat. It was rocky for families with children, and the dinner was terrible... I regret not choosing something like Five Star. Next time, I will join a cruise on a larger ship.
今までで、ディナークルーズとしては、最悪でした。釣りに行く船やないですか。子供連れには、揺れるし、ディナーは、まずいし...
ファイブスターとかに、したら良かったと、後悔しています。次回は、大きな船のクルーズに参加します。

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.
This is a MUST do for everyone and anyone. We did the fireworks cruise and it was incredible. The staff were amazing and the drinks were awesome. This was the perfect way to end our week in Hawaii.
