All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

The stage was close, and I felt the excitement and energy intensely, which was moving. Also, I felt that the fire dance had the most amazing technique I've ever seen.

ステージが近く、迫力とともに、ビンビンと熱気が伝わり、感動をしました。また、ファイヤダンスは、今までの中で一番凄いテクニックを持っていると感じました。

I participated in a company trip with my colleagues! There were many people from various countries, as well as those on vacation from the mainland and newlyweds. Even though my English isn't that great, with a little help from the drinks, I was able to have enjoyable conversations and spend a fulfilling time.

I think there were various types of alcohol, but I tried a Hawaiian beer and had some sparkling wine along with something else. I don't remember it well. There is the "too much drinking = restroom problem," but don't worry, there are restrooms available!

By the time sailing was over, I had completely developed a beer belly.

I want to go again!

社員旅行に行った際、仲間と一緒に参加しました!
色々な国の方や本土から休暇で来ている方、新婚さんなどたくさんの方がいらっしゃり、英語はそれほど得意ではないけど、お酒の力もかり、楽しく会話し充実した時間を過ごせました〜。

お酒の種類は色々あったと思うけど、ハワイアンbeerを一通り飲んだのと、スパークリングワインと何かを飲みました。よく覚えてない。「飲みすぎ=トイレ問題」がありますが、トイレもついてるのでご安心を!

セーリングが終了する頃にはすっかりビール腹になりました。

また乗りたいです!

In theory this would be a great experience... but the night we went the ocean was VERY rough and both my husband and I got violently ill. The crew did their best to make us comfortable but I have to wonder why no one said anything about the possible conditions. A little warning would have been nice. (“Hey, if you’re prone to motion sickness we would recommend you not attend tonight due to giant waves, etc.” or “Do not drink mai tais if you are concerned about being sick.”)

Also my 8 year old was scared out of his mind...so leave the kids at home. And take Dramamine. Better yet, watch the sunset from the beach.

My husband recovered right away but I was sick for 24 hours!! I couldn’t get the rocking sensation out of my mind, and ate nothing but saltines the next day. I really had no idea this would be possible from a 90 min boat ride. (To the captains credit he brought the boat in early because it was just too rough. I still wonder why we went out in the first place!)

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in this event. It often appears in guidebooks, so at first glance, I wasn't particularly interested. However, when I saw that it was being held on Christmas, December 25, I thought, "Why not go for dinner?" and went without much expectation. As a result, I had a great time! Very much so! We had a leisurely dinner starting around 6:30 PM, and the show began around 8 PM. When you think of Hawaii, you think of hula, and there were impersonators of Elvis and Michael. I didn't know much about Elvis due to my generation, but I was drawn into the entertainment and really enjoyed it. During our visit, I noticed that there were fewer Japanese guests than I expected, and there was a wide range of ages among the audience. The food was standard, but I enjoyed it. Being seated in front of the stage allowed us to feel close to the performers, and I personally recommend this seating.

ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、こちらは、初めての参加でした。ガイドブックなんかにもよくでているので、パッとみて、特に興味がなかったのですが、クリスマスの12月25日に催行されているのをみて、夕食がてら一度行ってみるか！と最初は、あまり期待せずにいきました。その結果、楽しかったんです。とても！ステージ前の席でまず６時半頃からゆっくりディナーをいただいて８時頃からショーが始まりました。ハワイといえばフラ、そしてプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんが登場しました。世代的にプレスリーほとんど知りませんでしたが、エンターテイメントに引き込まれて、とても楽しめました。お客さんは、私たちのときは、日本人の方は思ったより少ないという印象と、幅広い年代の方がいらっしゃってるなという感じでした。お料理は、標準的なものでしたが、おいしくいただきました。やはりステージ前は演者の方を近くに感じることができて、こちらのお席、個人的におすすめです。

Recently, I was told by someone who went to this show that my parents would love it, so I went! I didn't know much about Presley, but my mom, who initially wasn't interested, was super excited‼️ On the way back, she couldn't calm down and kept asking to take and enlarge photos! I couldn't take my eyes off the hula, and I had a wonderful time, which made me very happy! They also gave us plenty of time, so I was extremely satisfied. I was able to do a great job of being a good child to my parents!

先日、こちらのショーに行った方に、両親が喜ぶよ！と言われ行って来ました！わたしはプレスリーは分かりませんでしたが、はじめは乗る気もなかった母が大興奮‼️帰りには写真撮って引き伸ばしてー！と興奮冷めやらず。わたしはフラに目が離せなく、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来幸せでした！時間もたっぷりやっていただいたので、大満足です。良い親孝行が出来ました！

It was amazing. Despite the bad weather, relatively low temperatures, and some rain, the fireworks were perfectly visible from the sea. The reflection of the fireworks on the water was beautiful! I was shivering along the way, but I enjoyed a Mai Tai because it was delicious, and they played great music to keep the atmosphere lively. Even though it was cold, I was sleepy, and the rain was intense, I couldn't feel anything but joy. I'm grateful for the wonderful crew who were so considerate, and for the cheerful and lovely people I shared the experience with. I want to go again!

最高でした。悪天候で、気温わりと低く、途中雨にも見舞われましたが、花火はバッチリ海上から見えました。水面に映る花火がまたキレイ❣️途中ガタガタ震えながら、美味しいのでマイタイを呑んでいましたが、上がる曲をかけてくれたり、盛り上げ上手で最高。寒いし、眠いし、雨は凄いし、帰りたくなりそうなところ、楽しい以外に感じられませんでした。気配りが素晴らしいクルーに感謝。乗り合わせた仲間、陽気なステキな人達に感謝。また行きたいな。

We had dinner first, and then watched a show in the hall, which was quite elaborate. There was even a fire dance, despite being indoors. The venue was in an area with many hotels, making it very convenient.

食事を先にして、その後ホールでショーを見たのですが、なかなかに凝ったショーでした。ちゃんとファイアーダンスもありましたし。室内なのに。
会場はホテルが多く立ち並ぶエリアで便利は良かったです。

The fireworks and night view were beautiful and amazing. The staff provided excellent service. I was very satisfied, even more than the amount I paid. Since it gets cold in winter, I think it's better to bring long sleeves.

花火と夜景が綺麗で最高でした
スタッフも凄くサービスが良かったです
金額以上に満足度が高いです
冬は寒いので長袖を持参したほうがいいと思います

Even though I was around the Sheraton Hotel with plenty of time, I couldn't get through from the Sheraton to the beach, which made me really anxious... The directions were hard to understand. In the end, I walked along the beach walk to the ocean side, turned right, walked to the end of the road, and took the path on the right that leads to the beach, where the boarding area was! I made it just in time.

Before boarding, I took some photos, and since the waves hit below the knees, wearing shorts was definitely the right choice. I enjoyed the sunset while sipping on a Mai Tai, with music playing loudly. It was the perfect optional tour for the last day of this trip!

余裕をもって乗り場のあるシェラトンホテル周辺にいたのに、シェラトンからビーチの通り抜けができず、焦りまくり…。道順の説明が分かりづらかった。結局、ビーチウォークを海側まで歩き、右折し、道の終わりまで歩いて、右手にビーチにでる小道を行けば、乗り場がありましたよ！ギリギリで間に合いました。

乗船前に写真を撮り、乗り込むのですが、膝下は波がかかるので、ショートパンツで正解でした。
マイタイを飲みながら、サンセットを楽しむ。しかもガンガン音楽を流して。今回の旅の最終日にぴったりのオプショナルツアーでした！

Great Captain & Barman/Crew hand/everything person. Music requests from passengers all included and plenty of drink - lots of fun with good care from the 2 crew!

To relieve daily stress, both the captain and the passengers were cheerful people, and the mood was high. The view from the ship was also exceptional.

日頃のストレス解消、船長も乗客も、陽気な人達で、気持ちは、ハイテンション、達しました、船からの景色も、また、格別でした

I participated with my mother and aunt (both in their 60s). We enjoyed the sunset over the ocean while it was still light, and by the time we returned, we could see the night view of Waikiki from the sea. The duration was about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which might feel long for those who are not used to being on a boat, but I think it allows you to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii.

母親と叔母（共に60代）を連れて参加しました。明るいうちから、海上でサンセット、戻る頃には海からワイキキの夜景が見れました。時間は1:30程で船に慣れてない人は長いかなと感じますが、ハワイの海を充分に堪能できると思います。

I participate every time I go to Hawaii! We are the only Japanese people, and although we can't speak Japanese, we manage somehow! The atmosphere is great, and it's always a lot of fun. Since the boat sways, if you drink too much, you'll feel quite wobbly after getting off, haha.

ハワイに行くたびに参加しています！
日本人は私たちだけで、日本語も通じないですが何とかなります！ノリが良く、毎回とても楽しいです。船の揺れがあるので飲み過ぎると降りたあと結構フラつきます笑

We were definitely not disappointed with booking this activity. The crew was super cool and chill and just created a good atmosphere and vibe overall. Would definitely book with these guys again. And the Mai Tais were delicious.

The crew really made that whole cruise awesome! The drinks were great and the sunset was gorgeous... the only thing I didn’t like was how choppy the water was, but that’s really out of their control!

It seems that various impersonators are performing, and this time it was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

The charm of hula, the power of the drums, and the fire dance, mixed with nostalgic performances of Elvis and Michael Jackson, created a story-filled stage that made the hour and a half fly by. The show, which involved not just the stage but also the venue, was extremely satisfying.

色々なそっくりさんが出演されるようですが、今回は、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンでした。

フラの魅力、太鼓の迫力、ファイヤーダンスに、懐かしのエルビスやマイケルジャクソンをおりまぜ、ストーリーのあるステージは、あっという間の1時間半でした。
ステージだけでなく、会場も巻き込んでのショーは、大満足でした。

It was amazing to have fun together with foreigners. The prepared cocktails were delicious, and the music playing on the boat was tasteful; I really enjoyed it.

外国人の方とも一緒になって盛り上がり最高でした。準備されたカクテルも美味しく、船上で流れるミュージックもセンスが良く本当に楽しかったです。

My first solo trip to Hawaii
I signed up for this tour because I was attracted by the all-you-can-drink offer.

I didn't have high expectations for the drink menu or the fireworks.
However, I was surprised by the experience!

The captain's talk was lively, the bartender's skills were impressive,
and the drinks were all delicious. The fireworks were also quite spectacular.
Additionally, the night view of downtown Honolulu was beautiful.

Moreover, there were people from various countries on board, and everyone was friendly,
taking photos with each other.
Even though I can't speak English, I was able to communicate with gestures and had a very enjoyable time.

It was a moment that made me realize the power of alcohol. (laughs)

This is one activity I would like to sign up for again when I come back to Hawaii.

初のハワイひとり旅
飲み放題に惹かれてこのツアーに申し込みました。

飲み放題メニューも、花火も対して期待はしていなかったです。
しかし、体験してびっくり！

キャプテンのトークに盛り上がり、バーテンダーの女性の捌きも鮮やかで、
飲み物も美味しいものばかり、花火も立派な内容でした。
また、ホノルル市街地の夜景も綺麗でした。

さらに、様々な国々の方々が乗船されていたのですが、みなさん気さくで
写真を撮りあったりしていました。
私も英語は話せませんが、身振り手振りで撮ったり撮ってもらったり
非常に楽しい時間を過ごせました。

酒の力の凄さを改めて感じた時間でした。笑

またハワイにきたら申し込みたいと思うアクティビティの一つです。

If you're in Hawaii, you definitely want to see hula dancing and fire dancing, so I watched them during a VIP course dinner. The location is the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is conveniently within walking distance from the major hotels in Waikiki.

True to its name, the VIP course had a separate entrance, and I was treated like a VIP right from the start! They served a welcome drink along with delicious snacks and fruits. I was pleasantly surprised right away.

I was seated in front of the stage and enjoyed the dinner course, which included lobster and steak... everything was colorful and delicious. Since the dinner was served slowly, it got a bit hectic just before the show started.

And finally, the show began! It started with hula dancing, followed by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing... everything was amazing! Elvis and Michael even came down from the stage to the audience, which was a great treat! Those who got Elvis's red scarf were lucky!

After the show, the performers from the hula dance, as well as Elvis and Michael, were waiting at the exit for photo opportunities. They were really nice guys and we were able to take great pictures.

This is a show you definitely want to see at least once when you come to Hawaii!!

ハワイに来たなら、フラダンスとファイアーダンスは見ておきたいと思い、
VIPコースディナーにて、観覧しました。
場所はロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター。
ワイキキの主要ホテルから徒歩で行けるのもうれしいですね。

VIPコースの名のとおり、入口も分けられており、いきなりのVIP待遇！
ウェルカムドリンクも出て、おいしいおつまみやフルーツも。
いきなり期待以上でした。

ステージ前の席に案内され、ディナーコースを頂きました。
ロブスター、ステーキ...彩鮮やかで、どれもおいしかったです。
ディナーはゆっくり運ばれてきたため、ショー開始直前は少しどたばたしてしまいました。

そしていよいよショーが開始！
フラダンスから始まり、エルヴィスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンス・・・
どれも最高でした！
エルヴィスやマイケルはステージを降りて客席まで来てくれる大サービス！
エルヴィスの赤いマフラーもらえた方はラッキーです！

ショーが終わった後、先ほどフラダンスした方や、エルヴィス、マイケルが出口で待っており、記念撮影させてくれます。
とてもナイスガイで良い写真を撮らせてもらえました。

ハワイに来たら一度は見ておきたいショーです！！

I have been participating every time I go to Hawaii recently. The staff took photos with us, which became wonderful memories. The sky, which was cloudy until just before, cleared up by sunset, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. By the time we arrived, everyone was singing and dancing, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again!

最近はハワイに行く度に参加しています。
スタッフの方が一緒に写真を撮ってくれてとてもいい思い出になりました。
寸前まで曇っていた空がサンセットの頃には晴れて綺麗な夕日が見れました。
着く頃にはみんなで歌って踊ってノリノリでとっても楽しかった～( ◠‿◠ )
又参加したいです(^O^)／

I participated because of the "second person free" offer. To be honest, I went without much expectation, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was more than enough, and I was extremely full. The show allowed us to feel the history of Hawaii while featuring performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson—truly a fantastic show from the home of entertainment, America. I felt a bit embarrassed that we essentially paid for one person with the second person free offer. It was a great value. If I have the chance again, I would love to see it, and I immediately recommended it to a friend who is going to Hawaii next month.

It's worth going. A must-see.

Thank you.

[Review]
(Young couple in their early 30s visiting Hawaii for a 4-night, 6-day trip)
Overall, we are very satisfied. We booked a course that included meals. The course meal was served, and after finishing the meal, a show was held. The food itself was delicious, and both of us were pleased. Regarding the show, it included a hula show and fire dance, which we definitely wanted to see during our trip to Hawaii. It was also our first time seeing a tribute show live, and we really enjoyed it, including the quality of the dancing.
[For those who will participate]
I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a Hawaiian show in a limited amount of time.

[感想]
（30代前半夫婦、4泊6日の旅行でハワイを訪問）
全体的に満足です。料理付のコースを予約しました。コース料理が提供され、食事が終わった後にショーが開催される流れです。料理自体も美味しく、夫婦ともに満足しております。ショーにつきまして、ハワイ旅行では一度は見ておきたかったフラショーやファイヤーダンスも確りしたものが組み込まれておりました。モノマネショーも生で観たは初めてであり、ダンスのクオリティーなど含めてとても楽しかったです。
[これから参加される方へ]
限られた時間でハワイのショーを楽しみたい方にはオススメです。

There were hardly any Japanese people, and the passengers were drinking and getting really loud, so the feeling of being out of place was quite strong, but I was able to fulfill the purpose of the "Sunset Cruise." I thought the boat turned in various directions, allowing everyone to enjoy the view from any seat. Since I don't drink alcohol, when I refused the drinks that were initially offered, I wasn't approached again after that. I wonder if they have soft drinks or something?

日本人がほとんどいなかったのと、乗客がお酒を飲んでハイテンションに騒ぎまくりだったので、アウェイ感は半端なかったですが、「サンセットクルーズ」という目的は果たせました。いろんな方向に船を向けてくれるので、どの席でも楽しめるようになっていると思いました。
わたしはお酒を飲まないので、最初に配られるお酒を拒否したら、そのあとは声を掛けられなくなりましたが、ソフトドリンクとか無いんですかね？

I boarded the Aloha with about 30 participants from the pier. To prevent water and dirt from getting on our feet, we handed our belongings to the crew when boarding and received them back upon returning to the pier.

The two drink tickets given at check-in can be exchanged for drinks of your choice, but the crew will also serve drinks without tickets, so in a way, there are no restrictions. Apart from us, there was one couple and a man who boarded alone for photography, along with couples and families from overseas.

It was a bit chilly outside due to the strong wind, but it’s not a long voyage, so it’s manageable. The fireworks against the backdrop of the Hilton Hawaiian Village last only about five minutes, but they are as spectacular as the finale of a Japanese fireworks festival. This short evening activity is convenient to enjoy after daytime sightseeing or water play.

Although it’s called a buffet, it’s more of a light snack rather than a lavish spread. Enjoy the fireworks with the image of flowers rather than dumplings!

船着き場の突堤から30人ほどの参加者と一緒にアロハ号に乗り込みました。足元は水濡れや船内の汚れ防止のためか乗り込む際にクルーに預け、突堤に帰港した際、受け取ります。
チェックインの際に渡されたドリンクチケット2枚で飲みたいドリンクと交換ですが、チケットなしでもクルーが欲しいドリンクを出してくれるのである意味制限なしみたいなものです。日本人は我々以外にご夫妻が1組と単独で写真撮影のために乗船した男性一人　あとは海外からのカップル　家族でした。　船外は風が強くやや冷えますが長時間の航海ではないので大丈夫です。　ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジをバックに打ちあがる花火はわずか5分ほどですが、日本の花火大会で云うフィナーレのような打ち上げで華やかです。夕方からの短時間のアクティビティですので日中の観光や水遊びの後に楽しめるのでお手軽です。ビュッフェと云っても豪華なものではなくスナック程度の軽食と思っていただいた方がいいです。花より団子ではなく団子より花のイメージで花火を楽しまれるといいですよ

I wanted to see a Hawaiian show, so I decided to participate. In the VIP course, after entering through a separate entrance, we enjoyed a delicious welcome drink and light snacks, followed by a course dinner and then the show. I think the meal was plentiful and luxurious. Also, if you don't know how to shell the lobster, you can ask for help, and they will do it for you. The show allows you to experience the history of Hawaii and its music from the past to the present, even covering songs from Disney's Moana, always keeping the content fresh. The audience was lively, and the performers came close to the seats, making it an engaging experience. One thing to note is that the venue was quite cold, so a jacket is essential.

ハワイアンショーを見たいと思い参加させていただきました。VIPコースでは、通常エントランスとは別入場の後、美味しいウェルカムドリンクと軽食をいただき、コースディナーをいただいた後ショー観覧といった流れとなります。食事は量が多くかつ贅沢な内容になっていると思います。また、ロブスターの剥き方がわからない人はお願いすれば剥いていただけました。ショーにはハワイと音楽の歴史を過去から現在にむかって体感するといった内容になっており、ディズニーのモアナの曲までカバーするという常に最新を意識する内容になっています。観客のノリもよく、また、役者が席の近くまでくるので飽きを感じない内容となっております。1点だけ注意すべきなのは、会場が大変寒く、羽織物必須ということでしょうか・・・

At first, I couldn't find the meeting place and ended up wandering around Waikiki Beach several times, but since most people are participating for the first time, I wish there were some more noticeable features. The boat had quite a speed and sway, but there was unlimited Mai Tais and champagne. It was great to see the fireworks as well. The crew seemed experienced, which made me feel at ease.

最初集合場所が見つけられずワイキキビーチを何度も散策してしまいましたが、初めてこれに参加する人がほとんどなのでもうちょっと目立つような工夫が欲しいです。船は結構なスピードと揺れがありましたがマイタイとシャンパンが飲み放題でした。花火もしっかり見れて良かったです。クルーも手慣れた感じがあり安心できました。

The day before, when I went for a preview, the catamaran returned from the afternoon sailing. To my surprise, two honu (sea turtles) chased right up to the shore. The passengers were thrilled!
The next day, we were blessed with perfect weather for the evening sailing. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sea was amazing!! The Mai Tai was delicious, but the Don〇〇 was also fantastic!! Towards the golden sunset, we all cheered!!
During the magic hour, the music started. Guests from all over the world were having a blast!! Dancing, singing, cheers! Cheers!
We enjoyed the best sunset sailing!!

前日、下見に行ったら、昼便のセーリングから帰ってきたカタマラン号。なんとホヌ（ウミガメ）２頭が海岸近くまで追っかけてきました。乗客も大喜び！
翌日は最高のお天気に恵まれ、イブニングセーリングへ。海上からダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチ全景も最高！！マイタイも美味しいけれど、ドン〇
〇も最高！！　黄金色の夕陽に向かって、みんなでcheers！！
マジックアワーは、ミュージックスタート。世界各地からのゲストが大フィーバー！！　踊って、歌って、乾杯！乾杯！
最高のサンセットセーリングを楽しみました！！

The scenery was absolutely beautiful and I had a great time!
You can take a lot of lovely photos.
All the guidance is in English, but I think even those who don't understand English can enjoy it.
It's a chance to make friends with foreign people you meet there. You can take photos together and bond.
If you're prone to seasickness or feel a bit uneasy, it's better to take some motion sickness medication. The boat can sway quite a bit, haha.
The first day I booked was canceled due to a thunderstorm, but I was able to reschedule for another day at the reception, and I successfully went on the trip two days later.
It might be a good idea to book early and have some buffer days in case of cancellations, rather than planning it for the last day of your trip.

Please enjoy your trip!

とっても景色が良くて楽しかったです！
綺麗な写真がたくさん撮れます。
案内などは全て英語ですが、英語がわからない人でも楽しめると思います。
一緒になった外国の人達とも仲良くなれるチャンスです。一緒に写真など撮って仲良くなれます。
船酔いしやすい人や少しでも不安な方は酔い止め飲んでいったほうがいいです。結構激しく揺れます笑
わたしが最初に予約した日はサンダーストームで欠航になってしまったのですが、別日にそのまま振替できるとのことで、受付で2日後に変更して、無事2日後に乗ることができました。
旅行の最終日とかではなく、早めに予約して欠航になっても振替れる余裕日を設けておいた方が良いかもしれません。

ぜひ楽しんで行ってきてください！

The hula dance show right in front of us was very powerful and absolutely worth watching. My family was also very satisfied. I would love to see a hula dance show again when I visit Hawaii.

目の前でのフラダンスショーはとても迫力があり、見ごたえ満点でした。
家族も大満足でした。ハワイを訪れた際はまたフラダンスショーを観に行きたいです。

I had a bit of anxiety at first since I had never been on one, but in reality, there was no need to worry. It seems both of them really enjoyed it.
- They felt a sense of unity with the wind and the sunset.
- There was a chance to talk with other tourists in a small group.
- The all-you-can-drink cocktails were delicious.

My parents were very happy about it.

私も乗った事がないので当初は少し不安がありましたが、実際は心配無用でした。
二人共 とても楽しめたようです。
ー風やサンセットと一体感を感じた
ー少人数グループで他の観光客とも話すチャンスが
あった
ー飲み放題のカクテルが美味しかった

と両親は喜んでいました。
