All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

We had a great time on the boat sailing around diamond head and the Waikiki area. The two man crew was super helpful and a joy to be around. There was a variety of beers onboard along with a homemade concoction of mango and a variety of alcohols. Don't exactly know what was in it..but it was fantastic. The boat was fully packed, but we all had a great time riding the waves and enjoying all the views!

I often stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I had never seen a luau before and experienced it for the first time. The meal was a buffet with a variety of dishes, and it was delicious and filling. The luau show was also great.

There is a recommendation to arrive 10 minutes early, but it takes about 40 minutes from the start of admission to completion, and since it’s still sunny at that time, if you go too early, it can be hot and the wait time is long. I felt there was no need to rush.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにはよく泊まるのですが
ルアウは見たことがなく、初めて体験しました。
食事はビュッフェ形式でいろいろなメニューがあり
おいしくお腹いっぱいになりました。
ルアウショーも良かったです。

会場には10分前に来るように案内がありますが
入場を開始してから完了するまで40分ぐらいかかり、
まだ日も照っている時間なので早く行くと暑くて待ち時間が長いです。
急いで行く必要はないと思いました。

It was fun! The actual sunset was after we got off the boat, but it was great for experiencing the atmosphere. The participation rate of Japanese people is lower compared to other activities, so you can feel a sense of being in a foreign country.

たのしかったです！
実際のサンセットは船を降りてからでしたが、雰囲気を味わうにはよかったです。
他のアクティビティより日本人の参加率は低めなので、異国感は感じられます。

In addition to the star-studded stage, there were beautiful hula performances, impressive fire dances, and the food was delicious! My elementary school daughters also enjoyed it.

スターのステージに加え、華やかなフラ、迫力あるファイヤーダンス、お料理も美味しいです！小学生の娘達も楽しんでました。

I was late for the meeting time, but I was relieved that they welcomed me with a smile. The sunset had nice music, and everyone seemed happy. Besides us, there were other foreigners, which added to the Hawaiian vibe and made it a relaxing experience. There are restrooms available, but they are portable toilets, and you can see from above, which might be a bit embarrassing for those in one-piece swimsuits.

集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが笑顔で迎えてくれて助かりました。
サンセットはいい感じの音楽でみんなが幸せそうでした。
私たち以外、外国人の方で、さらにハワイ感が感じられてゆったりと過ごせました^ ^
トイレもついていますが、簡易トイレでうえからは丸見えです笑
ワンピース型の水着の方はちょっと照れてしまうかもしれません(^ ^)

We had a wonderful time on the Holokai! The captain and crew were very funny and asked many times if they could get us anything. I would highly recommend this. It was one of our favorite activities while in Hawaii.

I previously used a different catamaran during the day, but this one was more affordable, so I decided to use it to watch the sunset. Since it was bright, I usually missed the sunset without realizing it, but this time it was perfect from the water. My child found it amusing to bounce on the safety net last time, so they quickly moved onto the net, but it seems that's not allowed now, and they were warned. Still, they were satisfied sitting at the front and getting soaked from the splashes. It's a must to wear a swimsuit at the front.

以前は別のカタマランを昼に利用しましたが
此方の方がお値打ちでしたのでサンセットを
見るために利用しました。
明るいのでいつもは知らない間にサンセットが
終わっていましたが、今回は海上からバッチリです。
子供は前回セフティーネットで跳ねた事が面白かったらしく、早速ネットの上に移動したのですが、今はダメらしく注意されました。
それでも先端に座って飛沫でずぶ濡れになって満足そうでした。
先端は水着で参加がマストですね。

It's was a very fun time. The crew were competent as well as entertaining. The crowd were of varied ages, so it made everyone comfortable and included. A beautiful evening in Waikiki. My wife and I went on the cruise instead of a luau for our 34th anniversary and we have absolutely NO regrets. I highly recommend it

We participated as a family of four. Most of the participants were Westerners, creating an exceptional exotic atmosphere. With Diamond Head in the background and other yachts coming and going in the sunset, it turned out to be the perfect sunset cruise. It was a wonderful memory.

家族4人で参加。ほとんどが西洋人で異国情緒の雰囲気抜群。夕陽にダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに他のヨットが行き来し、これ以上ないサンセットクルーズになりました。素晴らしい思い出です。

I was well taken care of in Hawaii during my meals! I enjoyed the drinks and food, and since I have weak legs, they helped me carry things and I also enjoyed dancing! The hula show was more than enough! The performances by Presley and other activities were wonderful and captivating. This year, I also got to see the fire dance for the first time! I'm looking forward to putting the photos I purchased in my album. I will visit again next year. Please continue to provide wonderful shows!

食事中はハワイのかたたに、お世話になりました❗
飲み物、りようりは足が弱い私は、運んでいただき、踊り

アルバムに張り楽しみです。来年伺いますね。
素晴らしいショー宜しくお願い致します

I was able to enjoy a spectacular fire dance. The large circle that matched the visuals in the background was also impressive. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone going to Honolulu. The food was delicious, and it was a wonderful entertainment experience that kept us entertained during mealtime.

豪快なファイヤーダンスも楽しむことができました。後ろの映像とマッチングしているところも見ごたえのある大きなが円で良かったです。是非ともホノルルへ行く人にも勧めたいと思います。食事もおいしく、食事時間にも楽しませてくれる大変良いエンタテイメンントで素晴らしかったです。

We participated as a couple, and about 70% of the passengers were from English-speaking countries. The crew was very attentive, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we didn't feel any language barrier. The cruising experience was very pleasant, and the sunset provided us with a valuable experience. It was such a great time on the Holokai Catamaran that we would love to participate again next time.

私たちは夫婦で参加しました、乗船者の７割くらいの方は英語圏の方でしたが、クルーの気配りも良く言葉のハンデも感じないほど楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。クルージングはとても気持ちよく、サンセットは貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。次回も参加をしたいと思うほど良いホロカイ・カタマラン号です。

This is my fifth time participating! It's become a tradition to join when I'm staying in Honolulu on Fridays! It's the best! Even in summer, it can be cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

今回で５回目の参加です！
金曜に、ホノルル滞在の時は参加するのが定番に！
最高ですよ～
夏場でも寒いので上着は持参をおすすめです。

I'm 56 years old, but I don't know Elvis from his peak years, I just met Michael, and I have no idea about Katy. However, including the Hawaiian part, it was a lot of fun.

We started with cocktails and then enjoyed a meal while chatting. I thought, "This tastes familiar," and it might be from STAR of Honolulu?

All the performers put in a lot of effort, entertaining the audience. Since our seats were close, we could even hear their breathing. It was very powerful. There were many Japanese people, so maybe they made the English jokes easier to understand?

My husband and I are beginners who are totally hooked on Hawaii (this is our third time in three consecutive years). It was our first time at a typical Hawaiian show, and we had a great time; the time flew by.

Being from the countryside, I'm not used to entertainment itself, so I might find everything "amazing."

いい歳（56歳）ですが、エルビスは若い頃のピークを知らず、マイコーはジャストミート、ケイティーはさっぱりわからず。でもハワイアンも含めて、とても楽しかったです。
カクテルからスタートしてワイワイ言いながら食事へ、「どこかで食べたようなと思ったら」STAR of Honolulu？かな。
出演者みんな一生懸命のパフォーマンスで、観客を楽しませてくれます。席が近いので、皆さんの息遣いまで聞こえます。迫力満点です。日本人が多いので英語のジョークもわかりやすく言ってくれてるのかな？
私たち夫婦は、ハワイ・どハマリ初心者（3年連続3回目）です、ベタなハワイのショーが初めてでしたが普通に楽しく、時間の過ぎるのもすごく早く感じました。
田舎者なので、Entertainmentそのものに慣れてなくて、何でも「スゴイ」と感じているかもです。

It was a participation with my friend's 10-year-old twins and the four of us. The weather was cloudy and not very clear, but the little ones seemed to enjoy the boat swaying in the waves, which felt like a roller coaster. It would have been perfect if there were fewer clouds!

友達の10歳の双子と4人での参加でした。
雲が多くスッキリしない天気でしたが、チビッ子たちは波に揺れる船がジェットコースターみたいで楽しかったようです。
これで雲が少なければ最高でした！

Since I participated on Friday night, I was able to enjoy the sunset as well as the Hilton fireworks from the boat, which was wonderful. The staff were all cheerful, and I was able to have a fun time throughout. There was plenty of time, and I was satisfied with being able to leisurely enjoy both the sunset and the night view.

金曜の夜に参加したので、サンセットに加えてヒルトンの花火も船上から見ることができ、とてもよかったです。スタッフの方が皆陽気で、終始楽しい気分で過ごせました。時間がたっぷりあり、夕陽も夜景もゆっくり楽しめて満足でした。

My husband and I were looking for a night out and this fit the bill. Our service was the best of the several excursions we have taken while here. The food was good and was cooked at our request to my personal liking. The show itself was very good which continually moved forward with good timing. The only negative I found was we sometimes lost the vocals, my husband thought is was probably due to our location in the room, which was on the floor directly in front of and below the stage. Dispite this it was an excellent show.

While waiting to depart, I got completely soaked from the waves hitting the shore! If you don't like getting wet, I recommend avoiding the seats in front of the left-side railing. At first, I felt a bit seasick from the rocking, but I gradually got used to it. By the middle of the trip, the wind felt pleasant, the music was uplifting, and interacting with people from different countries was enjoyable. It was really great!

出港待ちの間に、岸に当たった波で、全身ずぶ濡れ！
濡れるのが嫌な方は、左側 手すり前の席は避けた方が良いと思います。
はじめの内は揺れで酔いそうになりましたが、だんだん慣れてきて、中盤を過ぎた頃には、風が心地良く、音楽に心踊り、異国の方達との交流も楽しく、とても良かったです‼︎

THE EXPERIENCE WAS BEYOND GREAT AND ME AND FAMILY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME

I sailed with 15 family members and that made the experience very special. The open bar was less than we expected but the staff was very nice and pretty entertaining.

This was my second time participating, and it was so much fun that I brought a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

At the Terrace Luau, there was a whole roasted pig, and all the Hawaiian dishes were delicious.

It seems that the content of the show is constantly changing, so I never got bored.

About 90% of the participants seemed to be Japanese, but Katy Perry wasn't very well-known among the older audience and didn't get much of a reaction.

Michael Jackson and Elvis were, of course, very well-known and received a great response.

We got to see both hula and fire dancing, and everyone in my group was very satisfied. They said the one-hour show flew by.

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time.

私は２度目の参加でしたが、
とても楽しかったので
初めてハワイに行く友人を連れて
参加しました。

テラスルアウでは仔豚の丸焼きがあり
ハワイ料理も美味しいものばかりでした。

ショーの内容は、どんどん以前と
変化しているようで
見飽きませんんでした。

参加者は９割がた日本人のようでしたが
ケイティー・ペリーは年配者の方には
知名度が低くてあまりウケませんでした。

マイケルジャクソンとエルビスは
さすがによく知られているので
大ウケでした。

フラもファイヤーダンスも見られて
同行者はみんな大満足。
1時間のショーがあっという間だったと
言っていました。

また渡ハしたときは、参加したいと思います。

I could see the Hilton fireworks very well.
The pitch-black Waikiki cruise was mystical.
The all-you-can-drink option was quite difficult to enjoy.

ヒルトンの花火がよく見えました。
真っ暗なワイキキクルーズは神秘的。
飲み放題は中々飲みづらいなあ

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time attending this show. First of all, I was surprised at how close the audience was to the stage! Until I saw it, I thought it would be just another typical Hawaiian show, but it was completely different! While it may not be on par with Las Vegas shows, it was quite similar. The fire dance was also very impressive due to the proximity to the stage.

I signed up for the dinner package, and the meat was delicious. Above all, the staff's service was outstanding! The entire experience, including dinner, lasted about three hours, but I enjoyed it without getting bored. I would definitely recommend it to someone.

There were drinks available in the waiting room, and the service was good, so I recommend arriving a little early. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lobster...

I have added more memories of Hawaii!

ハワイに何回か来たことがありますが初めての今回のショーでした。
まず客席が舞台にかなり近いのがビックリ！見るまではハワイによくありがちなハワイショーかと思いきや全滅違いました！
ラスベガスのショーとまではいかないですがかなり近いものがありました。
舞台に近いせいもありファイヤーダンスも迫力満点でした。
ディナー付きで申し込みましたがお肉が美味しいかったです。そして何よりスタッフの方の対応が素晴らしい！ディナーも含めて3時間程度でしたが飽きずに楽しめました。
誰かにオススメしたいと思います。
ウェイティングルームのドリンクもありサービスもいいので少し早めに行かれることをオススメします。
ただロブスターが少し残念でした…
またハワイの思い出がふえました。

Amazing staff! The trip was amazing! The ease of changing a reservation was also a huge plus.

Booked the Holokai Catamaran for the first night of our trip. Was relaxing cruising up and down Waikiki beach. Great views of Diamond Head as well. Plenty of photo opportunities. The night we went the ocean was calm and we were able to stand up on the deck the entire time. No chance of getting sea sick. The captain even let my wife steer the boat (great photo opp). Complimentary alcohol, but a healthy tip makes all the difference. Be sure to know where the pickup location is (on the beach), because you don't want to be late and "miss the boat". Perfect excursion to start off our trip. Cruise returns just in time for dinner. I'm returning to Waikiki in November and will be booking this cruise again.

The highlight of the tour is the fireworks on Friday night. Everyone can enjoy them from the deck with an unobstructed view. Thanks to Captain Josh, Crew Corinne, and Lisa, we had a great time. For some reason, we were encouraged to drink plenty of alcohol (what was the two-drink limit about?).

By the way, the tour is in English. I think it's fine even for those who are not good at English as long as you follow the people around you.

Staying at Hilton Village made it convenient. It's a 54-passenger catamaran yacht. To be honest, it does sway. Depending on the weather, it could get quite rough. I think this is a matter of personal preference. My companions were upset, but we were fortunate with the weather. Also, everyone had to board barefoot, leaving shoes in a box at the pier.

There is no cooler, but since we were on the water, it wasn't hot and was actually quite pleasant. It became a great memory.

肝心のツアークライマックスは金曜日晩の花火です。これはデッキで全員文句なしに特等席で見られます。
Captain Josh & Crew Corinne とLisaのおかげで楽しく過ごせました。なぜかアルコールもふんだんに飲まされました。(2杯のリミットはなんだったんでしょうか)
ちなみに英語ツアーになります。英語苦手な方でも周りの人に合わせてれば問題ないと思います。
ヒルトンビレッジ泊だったので楽でした。
双胴船の54人乗りのヨットです。正直なところ揺れます。天候次第ではとんでもないことになるかな。ヨットだから。これは好き嫌いかなり別れると思います。同行者は怒ってましたが天候に恵まれ助かりました。また全員素足での乗船となり、埠頭のボックスに靴は預けることになります。
クーラーもありませんが海上なので暑くなくむしろ気持ち良かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

We had an amazing time!! Unlimited Mai-Tai cocktail and drinks, great staff and nice music while cruising Waikiki beach!! What else to expect from this tour?
We absolutely recommend it to people that want to have an unforgettable Friday night at Oahu!!

I was a bit drowsy at first due to fatigue from Hawaii, but once I woke up and started watching, my eyes were glued to the performance. Of course, Presley and Michael were amazing, but I was surprised by the dancers in the background who seamlessly performed not only hula but various other dances as well. It was even more surprising to realize that they were the same staff who brought us drinks during our first meal. Wow, it was incredible. It was very engaging, and I highly recommend it. The buffet meal might not be the best, so I give it four stars.

ハワイ疲れで最初はウトウトしてましたが、はっと目覚め見始めると、目が釘ずけになりました。プレスリーやマイケルはもちろん素晴らしいのですが、バックで踊っている方々がフラはもちろんの事どんなダンスでも次々とこなし、ビックリしました。それが最初の食事の時にドリンクを運んで来てくれたスタッフだとわかり、ますますビックリ。いやー、凄いです。見応えあって、オススメです。バイキングの食事はいまいちかも。で、星4つ。

I was thinking about where to watch the fireworks at Hilton on Friday when I discovered this option and signed up immediately!

There were more foreigners than Japanese participants (when I went, it was about 30% Japanese). Before boarding, the people who had gone on the sunset tour returned, and everyone was super excited. I got on a bit apprehensively, wondering why they were so hyped up (laughs). The staff were very cheerful and kept recommending Mai Tais, and the foreigners were singing and dancing to the music playing in the background, getting more and more pumped up. In the end, we all joined in a big sing-along and had a blast! I finally understood why the people who boarded earlier were so energetic. I was worried I might get seasick, but I didn't feel seasick at all; I just got drunk (laughs). However, after getting off the boat, due to the alcohol, I still felt a bit wobbly as if I was still on the boat for a while.

It was so much fun that it has become one of the activities I absolutely want to recommend to anyone going to Hawaii, and I will definitely participate in it again the next time I go to Hawaii. It was June, but it was a bit chilly at night, so having a light jacket or something might be a good idea.

金曜日のヒルトンの花火をどこで見ようかと考えていた所
このオプションを発見して、即申し込み！

参加者は日本人よりも外国人の方が多く（私が乗った時は日本人3割くらいかな）
乗る前に、サンセットツアーに行っていた人たちが帰ってきて
みんなめっちゃテンション高くて、なんであんなテンション高くなってるんだ
って若干引き気味で乗ったんだけど（笑）
スタッフはめっちゃ陽気でどんどんマイタイを薦めて来るし
外国人たちはアルコールが入ってBGMで流れている歌を歌ったり踊ったり
どんどんテンションも上がって、最終的には私たちも大合唱で大はしゃぎ！
先に乗ってた人たちのテンション高い意味がよくわかった。
船酔いするかも？って心配してたけど
船酔いは全然せず、ただ酒に酔っただけでした（笑）
でも、船を降りた後はアルコールのせいもあって
まだ船に乗っているようなフワフワ感がしばらく抜けませんでした。

とにかく楽し過ぎるので、これからハワイに行く人には絶対オススメしたいアクティビティの1つになりましたし、自分も今後ハワイに行く時には必ず参加するアクティビティの1つになりました。
6月だったけど夜は少し肌寒いので薄手のジャケット等があった方がいいかもです。

We set sail from the beach while the sun is high, gently swaying with the pleasant breeze and waves as we round Diamond Head. While enjoying the scenery and sipping drinks, we gradually transition into dusk. It's always packed, but as we toast and chat, time flies by, so standing is perfectly fine. And finally, we witness the beautiful sunset sinking into the horizon. It's not an expensive tour with meals included, so it's easy to join. Enjoying the sunset while savoring a pre-dinner drink (all-you-can-drink♪), we then have a leisurely dinner at a delicious restaurant.

陽の高いうちにビーチから出航し、心地よい風と波に揺られながらダイヤモンドヘッドの向こう側まで回り込みます。
お酒を飲みながら、風景を楽しんでのんびりしているうちにだんだん夕暮れに。
毎回満席であふれてますが、乾杯したり、おしゃべりしたりしているうちにあっという間に時間が過ぎるので立ったままでも全然大丈夫でした。
そして最後に水平線に沈む美しいサンセット
お食事付きの高価なツアーではないので気軽に参加出来ます。
