All Reviews for Honolulu Nightlife & Things to Do

It was hard to find the location, and I got lost. There is a boarding area at the beach inside the Sheraton. Before boarding the yacht, we took some photos and then got on. The welcome drink was a Mai Tai, followed by an all-you-can-drink option. There were about three groups of Japanese people, but most of the guests were white. However, I really enjoyed that it was the most interaction I had with foreigners during my trip to Hawaii.

場所がわかりずらく迷いました。シェラトンの中のビーチに乗り場があります。ヨットに乗る前に写真撮影し、乗船。アルコールはマイタイがウエルカムドリンク。その後飲み放題。日本人は3組程度でほぼ白人でした。が、ハワイ旅行で一番外人と触れ合えたのが楽しかったです。

It is a fun tour starting right from Waikiki Beach. The tide was high when we left so it was a bit if a challenge to get on board but once on it, it was a great evening. A good adult punch and local beer was all it took ...

When getting on and off, high waves came, and I got quite wet up to my waist. I had read reviews about this, so I wore a quick-drying dress, flip-flops, and a swimsuit underneath, which allowed me to enjoy without any stress.
The black yacht named Mai Tai stood out and looked cool, and the staff wore matching colored T-shirts, so I thought I would definitely buy one if they had it.
Drinking a Mai Tai, seeing a rainbow, and viewing Diamond Head from various angles felt really nice.

乗るときと降りるときに高い波が来て、けっこうビシャっと腰まで濡れました。そんな口コミを見ていたので、すぐ乾くワンピースに、ビーサン、中には水着を着ていったので、ストレスなく楽しめました。
マイタイ号の黒いヨットは、目立っていてかっこよく、従業員さんが同じカラーのTシャツを着ていたので、あればぜったい買ったのになぁと思いました。
マイタイを飲んで、虹も見れて、ダイヤモンドヘッドも色々な方向から見れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。

While being rocked by the boat, the crew also got everyone excited, and with some drinks in us, we all became cheerful, dancing and singing. We had a great time and definitely want to participate again next time.

船に揺られながら、クルー達も盛り上げてくれて、お酒が入った私達もみんな陽気になり、踊ったり、歌ったりとっても楽しめました。次回もまた、必ず参加したいです。

The Rock a Hula show was good, including Elvis presley, michael jackson, and katie perry. It also included traditional festive hawaiian misic, and dance, as was quite entertaining.!! I would recommend taking the show-laua package, food was great, and hosts were sooo nice!! I hope you will decide to go. The fire knife dance was also very entertaining!! He pressed the fire directly to his tongue, and held up the fire directly with his feet! Also twirled the fire with both hands! I cannot believe how he can stand the heat!! Elvis presley sang many songs, and came off the stage into the balcony, and shook my hand, and hugged my wife, unbelievable!! Michael jackson did his moonwalk, and sang classic mj songs like billie jean, etc., so entertaining!! He really looked like michael jackson, the black geri-curled hair, signature white glove, red dance jacket, and those famous michael jackson dance moves, WOW!!
I can't say enough about the venue, the hotel which held the show, the drinks were awesome, all the staff were so nice, so accomodating, and everyone was helpful!! When I return to hawaii in june I plan to go again with my sons!! You would really enjoy this show, I highly recommend it!! The total experience was an unforgettable pleasure!!

My husband took me here for our Anniversary. We had a great time at the buffet! The food was amazing and so was the dinner entertainment! There isn't a bad seat in the place! They engaged the audience in the performance and not only were the main acts great, the dancers were amazing and kept the audience attention the whole time. You weren't ready for it to be over, but it was nice to take pictures wth the entertainers after the show. It was my husbands second time attending, so I bet we will be back for another show! Worth every penny!

During my trip to Hawaii with my mother, I wanted to see a hula dance show since we were in Hawaii. I found information about this hula show in other guidebooks and thought it might be famous, so we decided to participate. The location was excellent, right in the center of Waikiki, and the show ended after 9 PM. I was a bit worried about walking back to the hotel, but there were plenty of people around, and we were able to walk back safely.

We gathered at the Royal Hawaiian Center around 6:30 PM and had our meal in a tent-like area outside. It was a lot of fun to interact with others seated nearby. The buffet-style meal was delicious, and the staff were all very cheerful, creating a bright and enjoyable atmosphere. After having dessert and taking a restroom break, we entered the venue right in front of us and took photos with the performers.

When the performance started, the hula dance and impersonation show began, and everything was really enjoyable. Watching the performers dance so happily lifted our spirits as well. The impersonation performers ranged from stars of the grandmother generation to current popular figures, making it a show that people of all ages could enjoy.

Seeing this show energized me and made me feel very cheerful. It was a lot of fun!

母と2人でハワイへ旅行した際に、ハワイに来たからにはフラダンスを見たいと思い、他のガイドブックにもこのフラショーについて書いてあり、有名なのかなと思い参加してみました。立地がとても良く、ワイキキの中心部にあり夜9時過ぎに終演で、帰り道など危なくないかと不安でしたが、人通りも多く、ホテルまで歩いて帰れました。
18時30分頃ロイヤルハワイアンセンターへ集合し、食事は外のテントのような所で食べました。席が近くなった方と交流したりとても楽しかったです。また、食事はビュッフェスタイルでとても美味しい料理ばかりでした。スタッフの方もとても陽気な方ばかりで、明るい雰囲気がとても楽しかったです。 食後のデザートを食べ、トイレ休憩した後は目の前の会場の中に入り、パフォーマーの方と写真を撮りました。 パフォーマンスが始まると、フラダンスとモノマネショーが始まりどれもとても楽しかったです。パフォーマーの方がとても楽しそうに踊っている姿をみて、私たちも楽しい気分になりました。モノマネパフォーマーのおばあちゃん世代のスター〜今時の流行りの方だったりと、どの世代も楽しめるようなショーでした。
このショーを見れて元気が出ましたし、とても明るい気持ちになりました。 楽しかったです！

Fireworks, free Maitai's, and sailing at night along Waikiki beach. How can you go wrong? You can't. This is the best Waikiki attraction for the bucks. And the drinks were excellent.

OPEN BAR!!!!

Mahalo.

This had to be one of the highlights of our holiday! Relaxing, amazing and the coktails are beautiful!

I had known about it for a while, but this was my first time participating. The day I had reserved before leaving for Hawaii was forecasted to be rainy, so I changed my reservation after arriving in Hawaii! Even though it was a windy day and some people were feeling seasick, it was truly a fun time with music, drinks, and cheerful foreigners!

以前から知っていましたが、今回初めて参加しました。ハワイ出発前に予約していた日は雨予報でしたので、ハワイに着いてから予約日変更！
それでも風が強い日で、船酔いされている方もいましたが、音楽とお酒と陽気な外国人ばかりで本当に楽しい時間でした！

These guys have got it down, great drinks, music selection, and beautiful views! Their maitais are delicious too!

We had great time, the food was good with very nice servers who were also the hula dancers, they were very entertaining and made it a great experience, a singer was there the whole time too. Afterwards we went into the theater for the show. The performers were great especially the Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, also the whole show had a Hawaiian theme with interspersed hula dances. Best part was the guy with the fire at the end. Overall very entertaining and highly recommended.

Since Hawaiian shows are not easy to come by, if you're staying at the Hilton, I think you won't regret going to this one located on the rooftop of the parking lot. There are more locals than Japanese people. You can fill your plate with buffet-style food from the good seats in order. It's better not to expect much in terms of taste. However, the content of the show is worth it. The final fire dance, in particular, is impressive.

なかなかハワイアンショーは見れないので、ヒルトンに泊まってるなら、駐車場の屋上にあるこちらに行っても損はしないと思います。
日本人より本国の方が多め。
良い席から順にブュッフェスタイルの料理をプレートに入れて行きます。味は期待しない方が良い。
ただ、ショーの内容は価値あり。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力ありますよ。

There were more than 20 participants, and there were other guests as well, but it didn't feel crowded, and we had a great time. The beautiful sunset, friendly staff, and free drinks were fantastic!

20名以上で参加し他の客もいましたが満員感もなく楽しめました。きれいな夕日とフレンドリーなスタッフ、フリードリンクは最高でした！

Originally, I was planning to use a different, cheaper catamaran, but I couldn't make a reservation. I also hadn't booked Holokai, but luckily, when I got there, I was able to slip into an opening that became available at the last minute. The sunset I was hoping for was decent, but the fact that I was able to go whale watching by chance was the highlight. The cheaper catamaran didn't go out far enough, so if I had used that one, I probably wouldn't have been able to go whale watching. I'm glad I chose Holokai.

元々は最安の別のカタマランを利用するつもりでしたが、予約が取れませんでした。
ホロカイも予約出来てなかったのですが、現地に行ってから、運良く直前に空いた枠に滑り込みました。
お目当のサンセットはそこそこでしたが、偶然にもホエールウォッチングが出来たのは最高でした。
最安値のカタマランはあまり沖までは行ってなかったので、そちらを利用していたらホエールウォッチングは出来なかったことでしょう。
ホロカイにして、良かったと思います。

I find this a very special treat for my out of state guests. The cruise is lovely, the drinks are good (the musics too loud for conversation) and the fireworks display is gorgeious.

It was our first time in Hawaii with our 9-year-old and 16-year-old! We had a great time taking photos with a family we met on the trip, even though we didn't understand English! My daughter was thrilled to take a picture with a beautiful model-like woman at the helm in a Titanic pose. The sunset, Mai Tai, and atmosphere made for an amazing time.

9歳、16歳の子どもを連れて初めてのHawaiiでした！乗り合わせたファミリーと写真をとりあったりして英語がわからないにもかかわらず盛り上がりました！娘は船頭でモデルさんみたいな美女とタイタニックポーズで写真を一緒に撮ってもらい大喜びでした。サンセット、マイタイ、雰囲気ともに最高の時間でした。

On the day of the cruise, the wind was strong, and I was wondering if we would set sail, but we departed safely. There was a photo opportunity before boarding, which cost $20. I purchased it as a keepsake. We went quite far out, and with the wind and strong waves, seawater was coming into the boat, but it was the best cruising experience. The view of Waikiki from the ocean and the sunset were amazing, and it turned into a photo-taking event. However, I had gone to the restroom before boarding, and after disembarking, I had to dash to the restroom (laughs).

当日は風が強く、出航するんかなといった感じでしたが、無事出航。乗船前には写真撮影があります。こちらは20ドルでした。記念に購入しましたよ。結構沖の方まで出て、風があって波が強く、船の中まで海水が入って来てましたが、最高のクルージングでした。沖からのワイキキの眺めや、夕日が沈んでいく様は素晴らしく、写真撮影大会でした。ただ、乗船前にトイレ行ってたんですが、下船後はトイレにダッシュ(笑）でした。

I have also participated in a dinner cruise, but I didn't really need the meal; I joined to see the sunset! There are similar boats, so I ended up lining up at a different location. This one departs from in front of the Sheraton Hotel beach. Feeling the breeze and enjoying drinks, I was able to make friends with the people around me and see the most beautiful sunset. I highly recommend it!

ディナークルーズにも参加したことがありましたが、食事はそんなにいらないけれど夕日を見たいので参加しました！
同じような船があるので違う場所に並んでしまいました。こちらは、シェラトンホテルのビーチ前から出発する船です。
風を感じ、お酒やソフトドリンクを飲みながら、
まわりの人とも仲良くなったりして、サイコーにきれいな夕焼けを見ることができました。
オススメです！！

After having dinner, we watched the show.

The dinner started off with a fun atmosphere, thanks to a kind woman dressed in Hawaiian attire who adorned our heads with flower decorations and took photos for us.

To be honest, I participated with the show as the main focus and didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was surprised by how delicious everything was in the buffet! By the fourth day of our trip, I was getting tired of the heavy Hawaiian meats, but I was able to eat heartily. There were various performances during the meal, which made it enjoyable.

After the meal, we had dessert and felt great and full before watching the show. Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with the original material, but there were so many engaging elements that kept it interesting! The cast members were also very enthusiastic, which added to the fun. The highlight was definitely the Michael Jackson performance; despite a slight height difference, he looked just like the real thing! His dancing was incredible, and it felt like I was watching the real Michael. At the end, we took a photo together, and even up close, he looked just like him. I think anyone who knows famous rockers will enjoy this!

ディナーを食べてからショーを見る流れでした。

ディナーはハワイアンな格好の優しい女性が、頭に花飾りをつけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しい雰囲気ので始まりました。

実はショーをメインに考えて特にご飯には期待せずに参加しましたが、バイキング形式でどれも美味しくてびっくりしました！
旅行の4日目に行ったため、ハワイのお肉てんこ盛り＆味のこってりしたものに飽きて来ていた中、ぱくぱく食べることができました。
食事中もパフォーマンスが色々あって、楽しかったです。

食事の後はデザートを食べて、満腹でいい気分になってからショーを観ます。
正直私が元ネタになっている人をよく知らないということがありましたが、それでも飽きさせない演出が沢山盛り込まれていました！
そしてキャストの方々がサービス精神旺盛でそれもまた面白かったです。
やはり特によかったのはマイケルジャクソンで、少し身長は違えど本人としか見えないぐらいそっくり！
ダンスもバリバリで、本人を見ているような気分でした 笑
最後に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、近づいてもそっくりです。
有名どころのロッカーを知っていれば、誰でも楽しめると思います！

I had visited Hawaii several times, but I had never tried a cruise. This time, I participated in this cruise for the first time at the request of my family.

We cruised east off the coast of Waikiki, and it was unexpectedly fun. There were hardly any Japanese groups; most of the participants were family groups from the mainland United States, and they were lively and excited from the start. However, it wasn't uncomfortable; it was heartwarming to see the children having a great time splashing in the waves at the front of the boat. By the time we turned back for the second half, the kids had calmed down, and we were able to enjoy the sunset leisurely.

First of all, if you absolutely don't want to get wet, this cruise is not for you. You will definitely get wet up to your knees when boarding. Depending on the waves, you might even get wet up to your lower body. It's better to be prepared for that. On the other hand, as long as you are sitting normally on the boat, you won't get wet.

Also, as others have mentioned, the meeting point is indeed hard to find. I was staying on the east side, so I walked along the coast, but it was quite a walk. I recommend checking the meeting point thoroughly in advance.

I was with my 4-year-old child, and they were very satisfied, so I believe people of all ages can enjoy this. The evening tour is also a plus. As for drinks, as the tour name suggests, we started with "Mai Tai" (Mai Tai is served from the Mai Tai server), but some people were gulping down champagne. However, since the boat was rocking, it was hard to tell what we were getting tipsy from. The selection of soft drinks was not very extensive.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour in terms of cost.

ハワイは何度か訪れていましたが、あまりクルーズには未挑戦でした。
今回、同行した家族の希望で初めて当クルーズに参加しました。

ワイキキ沖を東方面へクルーズしていったのですが、これが予想に反して面白い。
日本人グループはほとんどいなくて、大半がアメリカ本土からの家族グループだったのですが、最初からテンションマックスで大騒ぎ。かといって不快なわけでなく、船の前方で飛び散る波に大はしゃぎしている様は微笑ましいものでした。その子供たちも、折返してからの後半からはおとなしくなり、今度はサンセットをまったり楽しむことができました。

まず、絶対に濡れたくない人は参加できません。
乗船時には確実に膝あたりまでは濡れます。波の具合によっては、下半身まで濡れてしまいます。ある程度は覚悟して参加するほうがいいでしょう。
逆に船上では、普通に座っている限り、濡れることはありません。

あと、皆さんも言っていますが、集合場所が確かにわかりにくいです。
私は宿泊が東サイドだったので、海岸沿いを進んだのですが、結構歩かされます。
事前に集合ポイントを十分にチェックされることをお勧めします。

4歳の子供と一緒だったのですが、子供も大満足でしたので、間違いなく老若男女楽しめると思います。夕刻からのツアーというのもgood。
ドリンクはツアー名通り、最初は「マイタイ」（マイタイサーバーからマイタイが出てきます）ですが、何人かはシャンパンをガブガブやっていました。ただ、揺れるので、何に酔っているのかわからなくなります。ソフトドリンクはあまり充実していませんでした。

コスト的に満足したツアーでした。

Great crew, seats, not just netting, beautiful views from the sea. Added surprise was the friendliness of the passengers even before the bar opened! Met almost everyone on board, laughed almost non-stop. BTW, despite what their website says, there IS A BATHROOM on board. Great experience!

The waves were a bit rough, but it was a very enjoyable cruising experience. It was a wonderful experience to be able to enjoy it together with the people on board.

少し波が荒かったが、とてもたのしいクルージングでした。共に乗船していた人達と一緒に楽しめる事は素晴らしい体験でしたね。

The cruise begins with a yacht ride from the beach. It's essential to wear sandals or go barefoot since you'll be getting into the water to board the yacht. Also, be aware that waves may come, so your clothes are likely to get wet! I ended up soaked up to my chest.

Even on the yacht, there's a chance of getting wet. A cool guy on the yacht serves drinks, including Mai Tais and soft drinks. Everyone sits together and enjoys the cruise.

I think it depends on the day, but it was quite rocky that day. Those prone to seasickness should be cautious; my friend got seasick. The kids were with us, but they didn't get sick and had a great time.

While enjoying the waves, I also took in the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. The highlight was definitely the sunset! It was absolutely beautiful! The cruise continues until the sunset is over.

I highly recommend this tour for those who don't get seasick; it's a unique experience you can only have in Hawaii.

海辺からヨットに乗ってクルージングが始まります。注意は、海に入ってヨットに乗りますから、サンダル履きは必須です。それか、裸足になるか。 あと、波がきますから洋服が濡れる可能性大です！私は、胸あたりまで濡れてしまいました。
ヨットに乗っても濡れる可能性あります。
ヨットでは、カッコいいお兄さんが飲み物を渡してくれます。マイタイ、ソフトドリンクもあります。
皆さんで座っでクルーズします。
日によるのだと思いますが、この日はかなり揺れました。船酔いされる方は要注意です。私のお友達も酔ってしまいました。子供たちも一緒でしたが、子供たちは酔わずとっても楽しんでました。
ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキを見ながら、私は波も楽しみました。
一番のポイントは、サンセット!とっても綺麗でした！
サンセットが終わるまでクルーズしてくれます。
船酔いがない方には、とってもおすすめでハワイならではのツアーですね。

It's a fun sailing experience with champagne, dancing, and just the two of us being Japanese. The captain and the bartender (who is cute and strong) really liven things up!

シャンパン飲んで、踊って、楽しいｾｰﾘﾝｸﾞです。日本人は私達2人だけでしたが、キャプテンとバーテン(可愛いて逞しい)が盛り上げてくれます‼

Waikiki is known for its many Japanese visitors, but on this cruise, everyone except us was a foreigner! We were able to enjoy a cheerful, exotic atmosphere while sipping cocktails!

日本人が多いワイキキですが、このクルーズは私たち以外は皆外人さん！カクテルを飲みながら陽気な異国の雰囲気を味わえました！

I participated in a sunset cruise for the first time. The waves were quite high and it was rocky, but I was fine since I took motion sickness medication. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. We had soft drinks, but everyone else was drinking Mai Tais. It gets a bit chilly, so a jacket is a must. We also got to see dolphins, which was very exciting. I would like to join the Hilton fireworks next time.

初めてサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
結構波が高く揺れましたが酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。日本人は私達の他に1人組みだけでした。私達はソフトドリンクでしたがみなさんはマイタイを飲んでいました♪肌寒くなるので上着は必須です。ドルフィンにも会え大盛り上がりでした。
ヒルトンの花火の金曜日に今度は参加してみたいです。

I watched it with a friend, and it was a fun time that went by in the blink of an eye. Thank you very much. The content was also packed, and I was very satisfied. I would like to watch it again.

友人と観覧しましたが、あっという間の楽しいひと時で、どうもありがとうございました。
内容も、盛りだくさんで、大満足でした。
また、観覧したいと思います。

This year, I went to Hawaii to participate in the Hapalua Marathon. Since I had a busy schedule of 3 nights and 5 days, I arrived without a plan. When the schedule is set from the beginning, I tend to get greedy and end up moving around too much, which prevents me from enjoying the relaxed pace that Hawaii offers. It was great that I could make arrangements on-site the day before! On the day of the event, we were the only Japanese passengers, which made it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it to everyone.

今年もハパルアマラソン参加でハワイへ行きました。今回は3泊5日と忙しいスケジュールだったのでノープランで到着。初めからスケジュールが決まっていると欲張ってつい動いてしまい、ハワイならではのゆっくりした時間を満喫できなくなってしまうので、現地で動きながら前日に申し込みできるので、とても良かったです！
当日、乗客は日本人は私達のみで、それまた楽しく
皆さんにおすすめです。

17 people! All housewives participating in a large group.
With unlimited alcohol and soft drinks, everyone was in high spirits!
While watching the sunset, we (in our 50s) and other foreigners all had a great time together.
I absolutely recommend it!
It was incredibly fun!

17名！全員主婦の大人数での参加。
アルコール、ソフトドリンク飲み放題で皆んなテンション高め！
サンセットを見ながら私たち(50代)も他の外人の方も皆んなで大盛り上がりで楽しめました。
絶対にオススメです‼︎
最高に楽しかった！
