All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

We went out to sea on a catamaran yacht from Waikiki Beach and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Plus, we had Mai Tais while doing it! It was such a pleasant experience. I would love to join this program again when I visit Hawaii!

ワイキキビーチから、カタマランヨットで沖に出て、キレイなサンセットを眺める。しかもマイタイを飲みながら！！
とても気持ちのよいプランでした~。
またハワイに行ったら、参加したいプログラムです！

My boyfriend and I went on the sunset cruise, and loved it. Thanks to the staff who were great and esspecially the bar man. We had read some reviews that some people felt because it was free drinks the bar man was a bit slow. Not at all the case. As soon as we put our empty shaker on our head he ran over and filled it up:)
Great cruise and we were treated to an awesome sunset. Thanks again guys we hope to do it again one day.
Also our cruise left at 5pm so a word of warning given that the drinks are free and the bar man so efficient (we were happy to tip for such a great service) do try to have an early dinner as we may have gotten a little carried away with drinking which is not a great idea on an empty tummy :)

Initially, it was explained that the tour, which usually takes two days, would be completed in one day, and I truly had a fulfilling day. Our guide, Kerina, was very entertaining, and we were able to learn about Hawaii's history and culture as well. I believe there are many Oahu tours available, but I highly recommend this one. Moreover, our driver, Minoru, who has lived in Hawaii for 28 years, was very kind and easy to communicate with, which made us feel at ease. For us, who are new to Hawaii, it became a wonderful memory. They even held a craft class during our lunch break and took us to Pearl Harbor, which was not originally planned, and I was very moved by that. I was surprised and touched to hear the story from the novel "Eternal Zero" presented as a true story. This tour of "Oahu" was so fulfilling that I think it would be worthwhile just to meet the guides. Thank you very much.

最初に本来なら２日で回るところを１日で回るプランと説明がありましたが、正に丸１日を充実して過ごせました。名物ガイドさんのケリナさんの話はとても面白く、そのうえでハワイの歴史や文化にも触れることができました。オアフ周遊ツアーはたくさんあると思いますが、お薦めはこのツアーだと思います。しかも今回のドライバーはミノルさんというハワイ在籍２８年の日本人の方でとても優しく（言葉もよく通じるので）安心でき、ハワイ初心者の私達にとってとても良い思い出となりました。お二人で昼休みにクラフト教室を開催してくれたり、本来予定に無かったパールハーバーまで案内してくれ、とても感激しています。小説「永遠のゼロ」に出てくる話が実話として紹介されたのにもビックリするとともに感動もしています。ガイドさんに会いに行くことを目的にしても良いと思うくらい、充実した「オアフ周遊」のツアーでした。本当にありがとうございました。

I highly recommend the Golden Circle Premier seats. You don't need to arrive early at the meeting place, but if you go ahead of time when heading to the venue after gathering, you will definitely get good seats.

This time, I was able to fully enjoy the "Waikiki Starlight Show" from the very front row, close to the stage! While listening to live music, there was delicious food (a buffet full of Hawaiian dishes) and a welcome event (lei, photo opportunities, ring toss, tattoos, conch shell contest, hula lessons) before the show, and I was completely satisfied and full without getting bored at all.

ゴールデンサークルプレミア席がお薦めです。集合場所に早く行く必要はありませんが、集合後会場へ向かう際には案内について早めに行けば良い席が必ずとれます。
今回、ステージに近い一番前の席で「ワイキキ・スターライト・ショー」がバッチリ堪能できました！
生演奏を聞きながら、ショーの前に美味しい料理(ハワイらしい料理がいっぱいのバイキング）と歓迎イベント（レイ、写真撮影、輪投げ、タトゥ、ほら貝コンテスト、フラレッスン）があり、まったく飽きさえず腹いっぱいになって大満足でした。

Like always this is well worth your time and money!! I've been on this 4 times and everytime is a awesome time. See you next time :)

The sunset is amazing! The vibe with the Americans is great too! The bartender is super handsome. It might be good to wear something like a swimsuit and sweatpants.

サンセット最高!米国人のノリも最高!バーテンダーさん、めっちゃイケメン。服装は水着にスエット程度がよいかもです。

It was my first time trying a catamaran. There are many types of catamarans, and we chose this one for our trip. Since we don't drink alcohol, we only had soft drinks, but the scenery was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and we had a wonderful time. There were very few Japanese people. You get quite wet, but that also became a fun memory.

初めてのカタマラン挑戦でした。何種類もあるカタマランから今回こちらを選びました。私たちはお酒が呑めないので、ソフトドリンクだけでしたが、景色も最高、ノリも最高で楽しい時間を過ごせました。日本人、めっちゃ少ないですよ。いっぱい濡れます。それも楽しい思い出になりました。

Overall, it was great. I had always wanted to ride on a catamaran since I was interested in its structure, and this cruise, which offered both fireworks and a sunset, seemed perfect, so I decided to go with this one. The food was delicious, and the boat was clean, which was nice. I had a lot of fun. The fireworks in Hawaii were just as splendid as those in Japan. This year, I missed the fireworks festival in Japan, so I was able to make up for it in Hawaii, and on top of that, I had the best experience with a cruise and meals included. I definitely want to participate again next time. I never get tired of it.

とにかくよかったです。カタマラン船の構造に興味があったので、１度は乗ってみようと思っていましたが、特に花火と夕陽をセットで見れるこちらのクルーズがよさそうだったので、こちらに決めました。食事もおいしかったし、船も清潔でよかったです。とても楽しめました。ハワイの花火も日本に負けず劣らず、とても華やかでよかったです。今年は日本の花火大会をのがしてしまったので、ハワイで挽回できて、しかもクルーズ船の上・食事付という、最高の体験ができました。
また次回も是非こちらに参加したいです。何度でも飽きませんね。

It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.

今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした！ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火！船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!

The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!

初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動！
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした！

サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです！

I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.

I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.

We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.

And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.

申し込んで正解、最高でした。

ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。

沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。

そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。

I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.

The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.

The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!

Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.

せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。

海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。

船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね！

ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and it was amazing. I'm so glad I signed up!! The sunset over the Hawaiian sea was so moving that I felt like I could cry. As I was savoring my happiness, there were fireworks next... I couldn't help but wonder if I could be this happy... and tears came to my eyes. It’s a memory I will never forget. The food was delicious too!

初めてのハワイでしたが、最高でした。申し込んでよかったです！！
ハワイの海のサンセットは、感動で涙が出そうでした。幸せをかみしめていたら、今度は花火が…。こんなに幸せでいいのだろうか…と涙が出てしまいました。一生忘れられない思い出です。食事もおいしかったです！

Great value & most enjoyable! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time :)

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif

Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.

The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.

I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.

祖父母と親子の５人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。

ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー＆ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。

あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。

I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.

英語があまり出来ないので心配でしたが、
参加してみると、スタッフの方が親切に飲み物を出して下さり、景色も最高で、とても素敵な経験をすることが出来ました。日本人は、私たちの家族だけでした。

I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...

I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆

ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。

もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

It is a lot of fun and a perfect way to end the day. The crew really makes this trip worth while - Captain John and Rabbit were AWESOME!!!

It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!

For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!

想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。（おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、
何かちょっとしたスナック菓子とかあるとより楽しいかも）
４月の日の入りは、１９時！これだと、スケジュールにあった時間ではなく、サンセットがうまく見れないのかと
思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
１７：３０出港、１９：３０戻りといった具合に
２時間近くクルージングを楽しめました！
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。
私達家族５人しか日本人がおらず、船上での注意事項
（踏み入れちゃいけない場所等の説明があったらしい）も
全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で
紙でも渡してくださるといいのでは。。。と思いました。
ノリがいい音楽がたくさんかかり、
気がつけば、父まで踊りだす始末！

この価格で、フリードリンクであの楽しさは、かなりコスパいいですよ！オススメです！

The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.

約30？名ほどの満席に近い状態で、出港しました。
夕日が、落ちる間際が本当にきれいでした。が、乗った早々ﾄｲﾚを我慢出来なくなり大変でした。しばらく我慢をしていましたが・・・簡易トイレがあることが分からず・・・
外人さんは、飲んで騒いで・・・本当によく話をしていました。見習いたいです。

This cruise was a great way to start our two week vacation in Hawaii!
We had a great time although the way the gentlemen at the check in referred to it as the booze cruise, you had wave down a crewmen in order to get a drink or a refill!
We had a great sunset and a full moon rising which made it extra special.

In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.

ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを１度は体験してみたい！ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう！』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。

I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.

他の人の書き込みに屋上でやったとありましたが、私たちのときは広い中庭でやり、非常に開放感がありよかったです。海も見えます。
ショーもいろいろな踊りがあり、メリハリがあり楽しかったです。司会は英語で観客が何人か参加する場面も有りました。（外国の方はのりがよく盛り上がっていました）
ファイヤーダンスはすごかったです！
最後に出口にダンサーが何人かいて一緒に写真をとってもらうことができました。

The cruise was great!
The staff was very efficient, and helpful too.
Ambiance onboard was great, with music and a unique openbar!
I recommand this cruise to everyone, couple or friends!

Free alcohol (unlimited) and the ocean? Awesome time! One of the best values on my trip. Paid WAY more for WAY less one some other ones!

My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.

This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.

今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした！！
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。

ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。

Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.

I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.

The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.

ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。

開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。
