All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

The sunset was, of course, beautiful, but just riding on the square boat and cruising through the sea was plenty of fun. Depending on the weather, there might be times when you can't see the sunset, but I think just taking a cruise around Waikiki Beach would still be a great experience. By the time the boat returned to the harbor, the night view was stunning, allowing us to enjoy both the sunset and the night scenery.

The only disappointing part was that I didn't quite understand the all-you-can-drink system. At first, they asked in English (probably something like "Who wants a drink?"), and those who raised their hands were given pineapple cocktails, but those who didn't raise their hands received nothing.

The staff would ask those who ran out of cocktails if they wanted a refill, but I wasn't sure if we could order drinks other than cocktails. As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I ended up not having anything to drink from start to finish (laughs). I did see some people around me receiving drinks other than cocktails, but I couldn't tell if those were included in the all-you-can-drink or if they were extra charges... I think it would be quite tough if you don't understand English.

Also, since you are exposed to the wind for two hours, it was quite cold in short sleeves. I think having a jacket would be better. Especially depending on the seat, some people got splashed with seawater, and my husband, who got soaked, looked cold the whole time. The seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you want to enjoy the view more, I recommend sitting at the ends, and if you want to avoid getting wet, choose a seat in the middle.

夕陽はもちろん綺麗でしたが、四角い船に乗って海を進んでいくだけでも充分楽しかったです。天気によっては夕陽を見られない事もあると思いますが、船に乗ってワイキキビーチをクルーズするだけでも良い体験になると思います。
船が港に戻る頃には夜景が綺麗で、サンセットと夜景の二度楽しめました★

唯一残念だったのは、飲み放題のシステムがよくわからなかった事です。
最初に英語で質問され（恐らく「お酒いる人ー？」のような感じ）、手を挙げた人はパイナップルのカクテルが配られるのですが、手を挙げなかった人には何も配られませんでした。

カクテルがなくなった人にはスタッフさんがお代わりはいるか聞いてくれるのですが、カクテル以外のドリンクが頼めるのかどうかわからず、お酒の飲めない私は最初から最後まで何も飲めませんでした(笑)
周りの方でカクテル以外のドリンクをもらっている人もいましたが、それが飲み放題に含まれているのか別料金なのかわからず…英語がわからないとなかなか厳しいと思います。

また、2時間風を浴びるので半袖だとけっこう寒かったです。上着があった方が良いと思います。
特に席によっては海水がかかるので、背中がびしょ濡れになった夫は終始寒そうにしていました。
座席は先着順なので、より景色を楽しみたい方は端の席、濡れたくない方は中央の席を選ぶと良いと思います。

So much fun! Thank you guys for an awesome time! The crew was outstanding

Great greeters, buffet. Dinner entertainment and show! Beverages were bad. The Mai Tai didn't taste like a MT. Sdas watered down or missing half required syrup at $5 each. Excellent value. My teen son loved it. We all did. Thank you.

I booked a plan without meals that includes photos. I chose this because the reviews for the meals weren't great, but I think the plan without meals was sufficient. It felt like being in a movie theater where I could order drinks and enjoy the show while sipping on them. The seats were closer than I expected and easy to see!

2回席食事なし写真付きプランで予約しました。
食事の口コミがよくなかったので無しにしましたが
食事なしのプランでも充分だと思います。
映画館の様なところでドリンクを注文して、飲みながらショーを楽しむことができました。
席も思っていたよりも近くて見やすかったです！

When boarding, it's better to wear sandals and shorts as your feet might get a little wet. There’s no roof, so you can enjoy the open air, and the ride is a bit wild with loud music playing, allowing you to fully experience a sense of adventure. When the fireworks are going off, there are no lights or sound inside the boat, but for a short time, you can enjoy the fireworks from the deck. You might want to bring a small towel, as your feet will get wet and sandy when disembarking.

乗船の際に少し足が濡れるので、サンダルでショートパンツで行った方が良いです。
屋根が無いので開放感があり、運転も少しワイルドで、音楽もガンガンかかってて、非日常感を十分味わえると思います。
花火が打ちあがっている時は船内の照明や音響もなく、短い時間ではありますが船上の花火を楽しめました。
下船時に足が濡れて砂まみれになるので、小さいタオルなど持参した方が良いかもしれません。

We had a wonderful time sailing and enjoying the sunset and a few drinks.
Brian and Brodie (I think was their names) were great fun.
I would recommend this trip it was a great experience.

We purchased a plan just for the show with our family, and since we arrived a bit early, we were able to sit in the front row, which was great. The show lasted about two hours and included traditional hula dancing, performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, and fire dancing, making it a very fulfilling experience. Additionally, after the show, we were able to take photos with the performers and get their autographs, so it was a lot of fun right until the very end.

家族でショーだけのプランを購入しましたが、少し早めに着いたこともあり、前の方の席で観れたのでとてもよかったです。約2時間のショーで伝統的なフラダンスから、エルヴィスとマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんのショー、ファイヤーダンスもありとても充実したショーでした。また、終わった後に出演者と写真を撮ったりサインをもらうことができたので、最後の最後までとても楽しかったです。

I was a little late, and my husband and I hurried to the Royal Hawaiian Center for the luau, arriving about 10 minutes past the start time. However, we made it just in time, and as soon as we reached the reception, we were kindly greeted. Since we had opted for the commemorative photo, the photographer took our pictures. While we listened to the music leaking from the venue, we excitedly rushed to open the door to the second-floor seating area, where the actor playing Elvis Presley was performing with singing and dancing. I was already in a great mood and sat in the empty seats at the back! (You can see perfectly well from the back of the second floor!) The person playing Michael Jackson was also incredibly cool with both his singing and dancing. I was deeply moved to see the hula, which is a traditional Hawaiian dance, as well as the fire performances. During the final photo session with the actors, they happily obliged for autographs, and it was amazing to take pictures with Elvis and Michael! The actors looked just like them, haha. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

少し遅刻してしまい、ロックフラの会場のロイヤルハワイアンセンターまで夫と二人駆け足でいき、時間10分くらい過ぎてしまったのですがなんとか到着し、受付にくるとすぐに親切に声をかけてくださり、記念写真のオプションもつけていたので、カメラマンさんに撮影していただき、会場からの音漏れを聞きながらワクワク急いで二階席の会場の扉をあけるとエルヴィスプレスリー役の役者さんが歌とダンスでパフォーマンスしていて、もう気分はルンルンで後ろのすいてる席に座りました♪(二階席後ろでも全然よく見えます！マイケルジャクソン役の方も、歌もダンスもすごくカッコよくて、フラはハワイの伝統的なダンスやファイヤーのパフォーマンスも観れて大感動でした。最後の役者さんとの記念撮影の時はサインも快く応じてくだり、エルヴィスとマイケルと写真を撮れるなんて最高でした！！役者さんそっくりです笑
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました。

Our guides were super entertaining and helpful.
Some outstanding, picturesque views from the sail! Very nice experience!

The reception staff included Japanese speakers, which was reassuring.
It's a Hawaiian show that you can enjoy starting from dinner before the show begins.
The food included Hawaiian dishes that we wouldn't typically choose ourselves, and everything was delicious, even the dessert!

The show was enjoyable for all ages, tracing the history of hula as well as famous artists.

My parents are from the perfect generation and used to listen to this music a lot, so I want to take them next time.

受付には日本語対応のスタッフさんもいらっしゃって安心でした。
ショー開始前のディナーから楽しめるハワイショーです。
食事もハワイのお料理など自分たちでは選ばないようなものばかり、
味も美味しくデザートまで楽しめました！

ショーはフラの歴史はもちろん有名アーティストの歴史をたどるような年代に関係なく楽しめるものでした。

両親がドンピシャ世代で昔良く聞いていたので今度は連れて行ってあげたいなと思っています。

The wait from when we were seated until the meal started was quite long, and I ended up having a lot of time on my hands. We were seated at a long table in the order we arrived, so the people sitting next to me were from groups I didn't know at all. While we were waiting, a local person with a ukulele sang songs upon request, but they weren't very good, and it was quite tough to be forced to tip them. However, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the hula show.

席に座ってからご飯が始まるまでの時間が長く、かなり時間を持て余してしまいました。席は来た順番に長机に向かい合わせで座っていくので両隣はまったく知らないグループになります。待っている間ウクレレをもった現地の方が勝手にリクエストに応じて歌ってくれますがあまり上手でとなく、またチップを強制的に払わされるのが結構しんどかったです。でもご飯はおいしかったですし、フラショーは楽しめました。

Really fun evening! We would recommend this luau to our friends visiting.

This is my second time participating. There are emotions that you can't feel on a large ship, like the sea and the wind. The sunset was a touching moment. It's better to have something to wear over your shoulders.

2回目の参加になります。
海や風など大きな船では感じられない感動がありますね。サンセットは感動のひとときでした。
羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。

On our honeymoon, we wanted to experience the essence of Hawaii on our first day, so we participated in this show!

First, we were excited to receive leis around our necks! When we sat at our table, there were two other Japanese couples already there.

As soon as we sat down, a woman with a ukulele appeared, inserting a $10 bill into her instrument. After playing a couple of songs, she immediately asked, "Do you know tip?" which, while feeling somewhat American, was a bit of a letdown. I wondered how much tip we would be expected to pay before even eating (laughs). The other Japanese couples at the same table seemed a bit taken aback.

After that, we enjoyed our meal while watching hula dancing. The food and the dance were not bad, but I felt that we shouldn't expect the same level of hospitality as in Japan.

The following show was of very high quality and quite lively. The dancers all looked like they were having fun, and it was really enjoyable to watch.

At the end, I got a photo and autograph from Michael. This was a nice keepsake!

I think once is enough for this experience, but since the location is good, participating in the show just to feel the Hawaiian vibe might be worth it!

ハネムーン、着いた初日にハワイらしさを味わいたく、このショーに参加しました！
まずはレイを首にかけて貰ってテンションアップ！テーブルに着席すると同じく日本人カップルがもう2組いました。
着席するやいなや、ウクレレを持ったおばさんがウクレレに10ドル紙幣を挟み登場。2曲ほど弾いたあとに、Do you know tip〜? とすかさず聞いてきて、ある意味アメリカらしさを感じつつも興醒めしました。ご飯を食べる前からこれか、一体いくらチップを払わされるんだろう…と(笑) 同テーブルの日本人カップルは若干みんな引き気味でした。

その後はフラダンスを観ながらご飯を食べました。ダンスもご飯も悪くはありませんが、日本ほどのホスピタリティを求めて行ってはいけないかなと感じました。

その後のショーはとてもクオリティも高く、盛り上がりました。ダンサーさん達もみんな楽しそうに踊っていて、観ていてとても楽しかったです。

最後にマイケルに写真とサインをしてもらいました。これは良い記念になりました！

1度行けばもういいかなと思いますが、まぁ立地も良いですしハワイらしさを感じるにはとりあえずショーだけ参加するのはありかもね！と思います。

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 location was great, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The shows featuring not only hula dancers but also singers impersonating Elvis and Michael Jackson were very impressive. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the exchanges in English between the performers and the audience. It seemed that the American tourists from the mainland enjoyed it even more.

立地が良いので、買い物や食事に合わせて利用できた。フラのみならずプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮した歌手によるショーは見ごたえ充分。残念なのは、タレントと観客との英語による応酬がこちらに分からなかったこと。本土から来た米人観光客たちは、一層楽しんだようだった。

My friends and I all went together (ages 21-23) and had the best time! The crew on board was so lively, and fun. The music also kept us dancing the whole time

It took about 30 minutes from the time we sat down for our meal and received our drinks until we went to the buffet. The roast beef at the buffet was delicious. The show was so enjoyable that I was completely captivated. I experienced a lot during this trip, but this was my favorite.

食事の席に着いてドリンクが来てからビュッフェを取りに行くまでの時間が30分ほどありました。ビュッフェはローストビーフが美味しかったです。ショーは全てが見入ってしまう程楽しかったです。この旅で色々体験しましたが一番お気に入りでした。

Cruising while listening to upbeat Western music like reggae is the best! Since 90% of the people are foreigners, the atmosphere is very cheerful and different from cruising in Japan. I go on board every time I come to Hawaii.

レゲエなどノリの良い洋楽を聞きながらのクルージングは最高ですね。9割が外国の方であるせいか、日本でのクルージングとは異なりとても陽気で雰囲気は最高です。
ハワイに来ると毎回乗船しています。

I wasn't very interested in the show at first, but I made a reservation anyway. However, once I participated, I had a great time and I'm glad I went! My family enjoyed it as well! It was also nice to have time to take photos with the performers after the show!

あまりショーは興味がなかったのですが、とりあえず予約しました。
しかし参加してみるとすごい楽しく、参加して良かったです！家族も楽しんでおりました！
ショーの後に演者と写真をとれる時間もまたよかったです！

This was such a great time and the crew was amazing. We got to see the most beautiful sunset on the ocean while listening to the best music. This was our first girls trip to Hawaii and I would highly recommend Holokai Catamaran.
Note...dont recommend sitting on the floor close to the front unless your okay with topping your drink off with saltwater...lol. The entertainment, to the drinks, to the beautiful view....5 big s!!

Awesome trip! Staff was great and would highly recommend!

The level of dancing was high, and even the children who didn't know the era enjoyed it. The adults had a great time in a tipsy mood after dinner.

踊りのレベルが高く、時代を知らない子供達も楽しんでいました。大人はディナーの後のほろ酔い気分で最高でした。

The show was wonderful, but I was disappointed with the waiting time from check-in to being seated and the quality of the food.

ショーは素晴らしかったですが、チェックインタイムから着席までの待ち時間と料理の質にゲンナリしました。

I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but about 80% of the group was non-Japanese. With so many people, I expected the buffet to be more crowded, but everyone maintained order, and we were able to enjoy our meal without chaos. The taste was average, but since it's a buffet, the portions were generous, and the two included drinks made it feel like a good deal.

The show is recommended for those who might get bored with just hula, as well as fans of Elvis and Michael Jackson. While the impersonations of Elvis and Michael Jackson don't go beyond imitation, the stage is luxurious, the sound quality is good, and they perform classic hit songs, so I think you'll enjoy it. The hula performance was impressive from the VIP seats. Please see the photos. You can take pictures freely without flash (video and recording are not allowed).

Here are some points to note: The reception staff can speak Japanese, but once you enter the dining area, it's in English. The meal is outdoors, while the show is indoors with air conditioning, so it's advisable to bring a jacket. The show ends after 9 PM, and there are no trolleys for the return; you'll need to walk, take a taxi, or use The BUS if you're able. For those staying nearby, it shouldn't be a problem.

Overall, it's a comfortable evening event.

参加者は日本人が多いかと思ったら、8割くらいが日本人以外の団体でした
。人数が多く、ビュッフェがもっと混雑するかと思いましたが、皆さん秩序を守っていて、混乱なく食事をとることができました。味は、まあ普通ですが、ビュッフェなのでボリューム満点で、ドリンクも2杯ついてくるのでお得感はあります。
ショーは、フラだけだと飽きてしまう人、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンのファンの人にお勧めです。プレスリーとマイケルジャクソンは物真似の域を出ないですが、舞台が豪華で音響もよく、定番のヒット曲を披露するので、楽しめると思います。フラも、VIP席でしたので迫力がありました。写真をご覧ください。フラッシュなしなら、自由に撮影できます。（ビデオ、録音は不可）
以下、注意点です。受付の人は、日本語大丈夫ですが、食事会場に入った後は英語です。食事は屋外、ショは屋内で冷房が効いていますから、上着持参が望ましいです。ショーの終了は9時過ぎですので、帰りは、トロリーはなく、徒歩、タクシー、使える人はThe　BUSになります。ホテルが近い人は問題ありませんが。
全体に、快適に過ごせる夜のイベントです。

It's a bit disappointing that the location has changed to the rooftop parking lot; it used to be in the courtyard. As a result, the space feels smaller, and the scale of the show seems reduced. The fire dance has also become smaller. Perhaps it's due to the high cost of living.

場所が駐車場の屋上になったことが、少し残念。以前は中庭でした。
その分スペースが小さくなり、ショーの規模も小さい気がします。
　ファイヤーダンスも規模が小さくなってしまった。
　料理もかな
　物価高だから仕方ないのかもしれません

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.

I wanted to have a meal separately, so I chose a course that only allowed me to experience the show. When it was time, we were allowed into the theater, but it seemed that the middle area was reserved for those with meals, so guests who only attended the show were guided to the seats on the sides. The show was quite good overall. The kids didn't react much since they aren't very familiar with Elvis or Michael, but they seemed to enjoy the fire show. It might have been better if there had been a bit more acrobatics. There were perhaps too many songs, which made it slightly boring... As for Michael, he was a bit chubby and I wouldn't say his dancing was great. Of course, the real Michael is incredible, so it's understandable that he can't be imitated, but the overall quality was solid and it was enjoyable as entertainment. However, what we had imagined was enjoying music outdoors while feeling the sea breeze, so it was a bit of a surprise to be completely inside the theater in a sealed space. I thought maybe a show at a hotel would have been better. Well, I was glad to see the authentic Hawaiian hula dance, so next time I would like to book a package that includes a meal and some activities.

食事は別でしたかったので、ショーだけを体験できるコースを選びました。
時間になるとシアターに入れますが、どうやら真ん中のエリアは食事付きの人の分みたいでショーだけのお客は左右のシートに案内されます。
ショーは普通に良かったです。子供たちはエルビスもマイケルもあまり知らないから反応は薄かったですが、ファイヤーショーなんかは楽しめたみたい。
もう少しアクロバットな感じがあったら良かったかもしれませんね。
歌が多すぎて若干退屈だったかも…
マイケルもね。。太っちょマイケルで、お世辞にもダンスが上手とは言えない感じで。本物がスゴすぎるのでマネをすることはできないんでしょうけどねもちろん全体の完成度はしっかりしておりエンターテインメントとして楽しめました。
ただ、私たちが想像していたのは屋外で海の風を感じながら流れる音楽を楽しんで…というものだったので、シアターの中に完全に入って密封空間になったのはちょっと誤算でした。
それならホテルなんかでやってるショーでもよかったかなとちょっと思ったり。。
まぁでも本番ハワイのフラダンスは観られたので良かったです次は食事付きで、ちょっとしたアクティビティもついてる方を申し込んでみたいと思います。

The kids were down from being drunk the whole time. I felt like I might get drunk too if I let my guard down. However, the other foreign guests were having a great time. The sunset sinking on the horizon was amazing. I thought I would choose a larger ship with less rocking next time.

子供が、酔ってずっとダウン。自分も油断すると酔いそうでした。けど、他の外国の方々は楽しく過ごしていました。地平線に沈んでく太陽は最高でした。次回の機会には揺れが少ない大型船にしようと思いました。

The sunset was incredibly beautiful and highly recommended! The captain (handsome) and the female bartender were both very cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. Be careful not to drink too many Mai Tais (laughs).

夕陽が超きれいでかなりオススメ！船長（イケメン）も、バーテンダーの女性もハッピーな感じでとても楽しかったです。マイタイ飲み過ぎ注意です（笑）
