All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

When you go to the reception at check-in time, you are first seated at a long table outside. The spacing between the chairs is a bit tight, so it feels like you're crammed in among strangers.

You receive a complimentary welcome drink, along with two free drink vouchers (you can choose whether they include alcohol). The meals are served buffet-style, and there were also some light entertainment during the meal. The taste was average, but the drinks (cocktails) were delicious.

Before long, we were guided inside the venue to watch the show, and finally, it was time for the Hawaiian show.

It started with hula dancing, followed by impersonations of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross, and there was also a fire dance. The quality of the show was high, and I really enjoyed it.

チェックインタイムに受け付けに行くと、まず外にある長いテーブルに座らされます。椅子の間隔がやや狭いので、知らない人の中に詰め込まれる感じです。

無料のウェルカムドリンク、それとは別にドリンク２杯の無料券がもらえます(アルコール有無が選択できる)。
食事はビッフェ形式で、食事中もちょっとした余興がありました。お味は普通かな。飲み物(カクテル)は、美味しかったです。

そうこうしているうちに、ショーを見るために館内へ入るように案内され、いよいよハワイアンショーです。

フラダンスに始まり、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、ダイアナ・ロスのそっくりさんショーがあり、ファイアーダンスもありました。ショーの完成度は高く楽しめました。

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!

Excellent Experience! Crew was outstanding and the drinks were generous, we had an amazing evening! Highly recommend! We went to celebrate my best friends birthday before having dinner. It was a fun way to enjoy a beautiful sunset in Waikiki..

I participated in January 2023.
The view of the land from the sea was incredibly beautiful. The sunset was also wonderful. However, as the day went on, the wind picked up and it got quite cold, so I spread out the beach towel I brought and used it to sit on and cover my shoulders. It might be a good idea to bring a jacket during this time. Although there was an all-you-can-drink option, it was too cold, and I could only have one drink at the start. When the catamaran set sail, everyone started dancing to the upbeat music and stood up to take photos, creating a very cheerful atmosphere. Although Japanese was not spoken, the vibe was very lively.

2023年１月に参加
海から見える陸の景色は最高にきれいでした。サンセットもすばらしかった。しかしだんだんと日が暮れていくにつれて、この日は風も強くて、だいぶ寒くなり持参したバスタオルを敷いて座ったり、肩にかけたりしていた。この時期上着は持って行った方がいいかも。飲み放題だったけど寒くて最初の１杯しか飲めなかった。カタマラン号が出航するとノリノリの音楽に合わせて踊りだしたり、立ちあがって写真を撮ったりとみんなとても陽気に楽しんでいた。日本語は通じませんが、とてもノリの良い雰囲気でした。

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

It was held inside the hotel.
They welcomed us with leis, and it was a fun time.
The food was also very filling, and the show was impressive.

ホテル内で開催されていました。
レイでお出迎えしてくれて楽しいひと時。
ご飯もボリューム満点でショーも見応えがあった。

Michael Jackson was terrible.
He was overweight, danced poorly, and lip-synced.
I wonder what he was trying to do—was there a lack of talent?
There was no emotion or satisfaction.

マイケルジャクソン酷過ぎ
太めで、ダンスが下手で口パク
何がしたいのだろう　人材不足？
感動も満足感もなし

It was a wonderful show.
The performance was amazing, and of course, the singing and dancing were top-notch.
It was a fusion of hula and rock.

素晴らしいショーでした。
演奏も素晴らしく、勿論歌やダンスも最高でした。
フラとロックの融合です。

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..

First, we filled our stomachs at the buffet, then moved on to the hall where the showtime began. Although Michael was a bit small and chubby, he was impressive with his dancing and singing.

最初にビュッフェでお腹を満たして、移動し、ホールでショータイムが始まります。
ちょっと、小さくてぽっちゃりのマイケルだったけど、踊りも歌もうまくて感動しました。

This is the 2nd time we’ve done this sunset cruise and it lived up to our first experience, which was amazing! Great captain and crew! So much fun and gorgeous views!

The VIEW of Waikiki and Aloha Sunset, with booze with friends/cousins is SPECTACULAR. The crew were amazing and the crowd is cool.

Staff was great. Scenery was amazing. Highly recommend it.

The show and entertainment were amazing, but the vegan options for food were surprisingly underwhelming.

I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.

マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。

Great sunset cruise off the coastline of Waikiki.
The team of Noah, Mitchell and Amos were great and friendly.
The kids enjoyed the cruise also.
Definitely worth it and highly recommend.

It might always be like this, but perhaps due to the year-end usage, it was very crowded. The atmosphere was a bit awkward throughout because various groups were mixed at the long table for meals. When seated, the pineapple set on the table gave off a vibe of "please share it among yourselves," which further intensified the awkwardness. The taste of the buffet was just okay. During the meal, cast members performing hula and playing the ukulele came around to each table, but if you're looking for something more substantial, this might not be the place for you. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch a show, which was probably of high quality (the American guests were really excited about the Elvis and MJ impersonations), but it felt more like an impersonation show and lacked the Hawaiian vibe, which was disappointing.

いつもこうなのかもしれないが、年末の利用ということもあったせいかとても混雑していた。食事がロングテーブルに色々なグループが混雑しているため終始少し気まずい空気。着席時にテーブルにセットされてたパイナップルはこの辺りの人で適当に分けてねという感じで気まずい空気に更に拍車が掛かる。肝心のビュッフェの味はまあまあ。食事中にフラ踊るやウクレレ演奏するキャストが各テーブルを回って来るがしっかりとしたものを見たい人はココじゃなくても良いかも。食事の後、シアターに移動して観るショーはクオリティは高いのだろうが（アメリカ人っぽいお客さんはエルヴィスとかMJのモノマネでとても盛り上がっていたので）モノマネショーがメインといった感じでハワイっぽさはあまりないのが残念。

The atmosphere was great, everyone was friendly and accommodating, and of course the views were amazing. Our group of friends all had a blast! Highly recommend.

The restaurant at the Outrigger Reef Hotel has a lovely pool. Families are smiling while watching their children play in the pool. It's a wonderfully warm atmosphere with live music, making it a great space for both adults and kids to enjoy. The meals and drinks served in this setting are delightful. I'm really glad I made a reservation!

アウトリガーリーフホテルの素敵なプールにあるレストラン。
周りでは、子供たちをプールで遊ばせてそれを見ながら微笑んでる家族。
なんともほんわかした雰囲気の中、生ライブもあって大人も子供も楽しめるような素敵な空間です。そんな中で食べるお食事や楽しめるお酒など。
ほんと予約して良かったと思います！！

If you've seen some Polynesian shows, you should definitely check this one out. It's casual and fun!

幾つかのポリネシアンショーを鑑賞された方は、是非鑑賞してみてはいかがでしょうか。カジュアルで楽しいですよ。

The guidance to the buffet seating and the distribution of drinks were extremely rough. There was no difference from the VIP experience. If it were like this, only the show would be good.

ビュッフェの席への案内、ドリンクの配布など、極めて粗雑。VIPとの差もなし。
これたったらショーだけが良い。

Karina and Jr were very welcoming and fun! Thanks guys!!!!

I watched the Hilton's luau show for the first time in a while. I made a reservation for an event during Christmas in Hawaii after three years. I felt like there weren't many Japanese people there yet. The show had great seating and was wonderful. The food was satisfying for me, especially since I had been lacking vegetables since coming to Hawaii.

ひさびさにヒルトンのルアウショーを観ました。
3年ぶりのハワイでクリスマスに何かイベントをと思って予約しました。
日本人はまだあまりいなかったような気がします。
ショーはお席もよく、素敵なものでした。
お食事もハワイに来て野菜不足だったので、わたし的には満足です

I attended with my 4-year-old daughter. The buffet was lavish, and the roast beef was especially delicious. There was also a simple hula lesson, which my daughter really enjoyed!

４歳の娘と参加しました。
ビュッフェも豪華で、ローストビーフが特に美味しかったです。簡単なフラレッスンもあり、娘もとても楽しんでいました！

I made a reservation for an event for both families after the wedding. The boat was about the size to accommodate around 30 people, and the cozy atmosphere was very nice. The gentle rocking felt like an attraction, and getting splashed with water occasionally was one of the joys that larger boats don't offer. Before booking the tour, I thought it was a bit short for the price, but after watching the setting sun, I was able to relax and enjoy the night view of Waikiki, which left me very satisfied. The variety of drinks was also impressive, which made me happy as a fan of alcohol.

結婚式後の両家でのイベントとして予約しました♪
30人入るか入らないか位の船の大きさで、アットホームな雰囲気がとても良かったです。アトラクションのような揺れで時折り水飛沫がかかるのも大型船にはない楽しみの１つだと感じました。ツアーを予約する前は時間としては短めのツアーでその割に値段も高く感じましたが、沈む太陽を見たあとはワイキキの夜景をゆったりと楽しむことができとっても満足感がありました。
お酒の種類も充実しておりお酒好きとしても嬉しかったです。

The dining area and the theater are at the same floor , the 4th floor of the shopping mall building. It is very close to the Waikiki Beach. We can just walk from our hotel, which is very convenient. The buffet has ube bread, salads, fish filet, steamed ube and yam, pastas, BBQ beef and etc. and the amazing food is pork and Traditional Hawaiian Kalua pig. The chef helped to cut the entire pig. The crispy pig skin is really good. I love it. And the coconut pudding is also delicious. And dinner, we watched the show. I thought it’s the show all about traditional Hawaii dance. However, it also has they music of Elvis Aaron Presley and Michael Jackson. The singers are amazing. I love the show, too.

I made a reservation for the first night in Hawaii. No one was wearing masks outdoors. The atmosphere was very Hawaiian, and sitting right in front of the stage, I could feel the waves and enjoy the live Hawaiian music and singing. It truly made me feel like I was in Hawaii! It was also nice that the artists were not young but rather had a certain presence, being a bit older. The food was decent, and the staff was friendly, making it a wonderful experience overall.

ハワイ初日の夜に予約。
マスクは屋外でみなつけてません。
ハワイらしい雰囲気、ステージすぐ前の席で波の音とハワイアンミュージックの生演奏と生の歌声であぁハワイにきたー！という実感がしみじみ。アーティストが若手ではなく貫禄あるややシニアの方々なのもまた良かった。料理もまずまず、スタッフも親切で最高です。

Evening sailing on the Mai Tai catamaran for sunset sailing was amazing.
The captain is fantastic and shows you the best sunset.
The drink service is excellent.
You can feel the thrill of sailing throughout your whole body.
The captain is handsome...
I would love to join again if I have the chance.

イブニングセーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号のサンセットセーリング、最高でした。
キャプテンが最高です、最高のサンセットを見せてくれる。
ドリンクのサービスが充実している。
セーリングの醍醐味が体全体で感じられる。
キャブテンがイケメン・・・
機会があったらまた参加したい。

There is no attendant at the meeting place, so I had to check in by myself at the check-in counter by showing my voucher. However, I was informed that my reservation wasn't properly reflected, which left me confused. In the end, it took quite a bit of time, and I managed to get in by sending a photo of the voucher. It was awkward since there were a lot of people lined up behind me.

The food was delicious, so I was satisfied. However, every time I ordered a drink other than the initial welcome Mai Tai, I had to pay with a credit card, which was a hassle. They don't accept cash, so a credit card is a must.

It seems that the performers change depending on the day, and on my day, it was only Elvis. I would have liked to see Michael too. If you like Elvis or Michael, you might enjoy it.

集合場所に特にアテンドの方はいないので、自分でチェックインカウンターでバウチャーを見せてチェックイン。と思いきや予約がうまく反映されていないと伝えられて困惑。結局かなり時間がかかってバウチャーの写真を送ることでなんとか入れてもらいました。後ろにかなり人が並んでいて気まずかった。
料理は美味しかったので満足です。ただ、最初のウェルカムマイタイ1杯以外のドリンクを頼む時、いちいちクレカでの決済が必要で面倒だった。現金は受け取らないとのことで、クレカ必須です。
ショーは日によって出演者は違うようで、私の日はエルビスオンリーでした。マイケルも見たかった。エルビスやマイケルが好きな人は楽しめるかな。
