All Reviews for Seasonal & Holiday Activities

The night view of Waikiki and the New Year's fireworks were truly beautiful and moving. The number of people (about 50) was just right, and we could see the scenery from all 360 degrees without any obstruction from crowds, which was great. On the boat, there were nine members of my family and just one person participating alone; the rest were all foreigners. The atmosphere on the boat was lively, with music playing loudly and everyone dancing, making it incredibly fun!

ワイキキの夜景＆ニューイヤー花火が本当にキレイで感動しました。
人数（50人くらい）もちょうど良く、360°景色が見え、人が多くて観れないことがなかったので良かった。
乗船している日本人が私達家族9人、1人で参加されている方くらいで、後は外国人の方ばかりで、船上で音楽をガンガンかけながら皆が踊るノリがよくてメチャ楽しかったです！

Kevin and Sabrina took really good care of us. The boat was clean, explanations/safety rules were well covered, and everything was catered to how we wanted our ride to go! Whale watching together with our friends was such a precious experience and we would recommend it for everyone. They even gave us local recommendations for restaurants and more whale watching locations. We highly recommend it! (And by we, I mean party of 9 girls to celebrate our bride to be!)

The cocktail party is held on the 2nd floor of Halekulani, but it lacks excitement; the dance party on the 1st floor is better. It's a waste of money.

カクテルパーティーはハレクラニの2Fに案内されますが盛り上がりも欠け1Fのダンスパーティーの方が良いです
お金の無駄です

We had a large group in town for a sort time over NYE and this ticked all our boxes. The crew were great fun and made us all feel very welcomed.

I was able to welcome the New Year with the best Countdown at an affordable price. We departed from Kawehewehe and disembarked in front of the OUTRIGGER Leaf on the way back. It felt like it was quite popular and full (around 48 people?), but it wasn't cramped at all, and we enjoyed a comfortable cruise while fully enjoying the fireworks. I highly recommend it!

手頃な料金で最高のCountDownで新年を迎える事が出来ました
Kaweheweheから出て帰りはOUTRIGGER Leafの前で下船でした 人気で定員(48人?)FULLの様な感じでしたがそれ程窮屈な感じもせずに快適なCruisingで花火も充分に楽しめました　お勧めします

We had a great experience onboard. Adrian and Kyle alongwith the other crew onboard kept everything neat, clean and very organized. They kept the party active and stopped the boat exactly at a spot where we could see the fireworks 🎆. I would highly recommend people to seriously consider this catamaran experience for their year end celebration.

I couldn't speak any English at all, but everyone was very kind to me. Watching the fireworks from the boat was a great experience.

英語が、全く喋れなかったけど皆さん親切にしてくれました。
船の上から眺める花火は良い経験になりました。

We booked a private Honolulu Sunset Cruise to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. The crew was professional courteous and allowed everyone to enjoy the cruise. The next time we are in Honolulu, we will definitely book this cruise again!

During the holiday season, Christmas songs played inside the illumination bus, and the entire group of passengers got excited. The venue was sparkling, and it became a very good memory.

ホリデーシーズン限定で、イルミネーションバスの中もクリスマスソングが流れ、乗客全体で盛り上がりました。会場もキラキラで、とても良い思い出になりました。

The trolley is decorated for Christmas and Christmas songs are playing, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere than usual. City Lights has displays throughout its spacious grounds, including outside, but I found myself with too much free time. I thought it might have been better to go see it on our own rather than participating in the tour.

トロリーがクリスマス仕様にデコレーションされクリスマスソングが流れているので、いつもと違う雰囲気を味わえます。
シティライツは、外も含めれば広い敷地内にディスプレイがあるものの、時間を持て余してしまいました。ツアーで参加せずとも、自分たちで見に行くのでもよかったかなと思いました。

The view of New Year's Eve from the ocean in Waikiki was truly beautiful and memorable. The captain was also a very nice person, and I was able to enjoy myself while relaxing, whether lying down or sitting.

ワイキキの海から見る大晦日の景色は、ほんと！
すごくきれいで思い出に残る景色でした。
船長さんもとても良い人で、寝転んだり、座って楽しんだり、リラックスしながら楽しめました。

The trolley decorations and music were all Christmas-themed, and I was excited even before arriving at the venue! The venue's illumination was also impressive, and it was so much fun. I was able to experience a different side of Hawaii!

トロリーの装飾も音楽もクリスマスで、会場につく前からテンション上がりました！
会場のイルミネーションも本格的でとっても楽しかったです。
いつもとは違うハワイを経験できました！

I used it as a means of transportation for the night illumination. There are illuminations near the venue, and I passed through there on my way to the venue. If you sit on the left side, you can see it well.

夜のイルミネーションで交通手段として利用しました。会場近辺にイルミネーションがあり、そこを通りながら会場へ。
左側に乗るとよく見えます。

The crew was great, the drinks were great and the firework show was great. Nothing else to say.

We were supposed to meet at 5 PM, but I was surprised that we had to turn back for three Americans who were late. Is this our responsibility? The three of them didn't apologize and were overly cheerful; could this be a difference in national character? It finally got dark around 6:15 PM, and the illumination was beautiful, but what do you think about the timing set from 5 PM to 7 PM? I think it would have been better if it started from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, so we could enjoy it after it got dark.

17時集合でしたが、遅れたアメリカ人三人のため引き返し、びっくりしました。
自己責任でしょうか？
三人は謝りもせず、やたらテンション高くて国民性の違いでしょうか？
6時15分くらいにようやく暗くなりイルミネーション綺麗でしたが、17時から19時の設定はどうでしょうか？
せめて17：30から19：30が暗くなってから楽しめたと思います。

The last time I visited, it was a bit late in the evening and there were many people, making it quite crowded both inside and outside the city hall, which made taking photos a bit challenging.

This time, considering I had small children with me, I thought the crowds would be difficult, so I chose to go on a weekday before sunset. The venue was less crowded, and it was much easier to take photos.

After enjoying the inside of the city hall, we went outside as it was getting dark, allowing us to enjoy the outdoor illuminations without the crowds, and we were able to leave early, which was convenient.

Next time I go, I plan to visit on a similar schedule. It seems to have created good memories for the children as well, which was great.

以前に訪れた際は少し夜遅めの時間帯で人も多く、市庁舎の中も外もかなり込み合っていて、写真を撮るのもちょっと大変でした。

今回は小さい子供がいたため人混みは大変だと考え、平日の日没前の時間を選択して参加したところ、会場が空いていて写真も撮りやすかったです。

先に市庁舎の中で楽しんだ後、暗くなるころに外に出れば込み合うことなく屋外のイルミネーションも満喫でき、帰る時間も早めでラクでした。

また行く際は、同じようなスケジュールで訪れようと思います。子供にとってもいい思い出になったようで、良かったです。

When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.

Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.

Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.

When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!

The two-hour private rental was amazing, with a fantastic view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean! Swimming while anchored was also very refreshing! I highly recommend it for families and friends!

２時間貸切ですが沖から眺めるワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！
停泊しての海水浴も気持ち良い！
家族や友達の利用はお勧めです！

We chartered a boat for a family trip with three generations, totaling nine people. We booked the two-hour course, which turned out to be just the right amount of time to relax and enjoy meals on board. However, if you plan to have a longer meal on the boat, a longer course might be better.

We brought takeout food and drinks with us, but there were plenty of utensils provided, and it was helpful that cold drinking water was available. There was also a cooler on board, so we could keep our drinks and fruits chilled. There were two restrooms available, and we were able to bring a stroller on board as well. Although we didn't use it, there was also a microwave (or oven?!) available.

From the boat, you can see Waikiki and Diamond Head. The time spent lying outside while enjoying the panoramic view was absolutely the best!

The boat arrived at the dock about 15 minutes before the departure time. Since there isn't a waiting area like a terminal near the dock, it might be better not to arrive too early.

親子3世代9名の家族旅行でチャーターしました。
2時間コースで申し込みましたが、船上でのんびりしたり食事をすることができ、丁度良い時間でした。
ただ、船上での食事を長めにとる場合は、もう少し長いコースの方がよいかもしれません。
テイクアウトした食事や飲み物を持参して乗り込みましたが、カトラリー類は十分用意されていましたし、冷たい飲料水の提供もあり助かりました。
クーラーボックスも設置されているので、飲み物やフルーツなどは冷やしておくこともできます。
トイレは2か所ありました。
ベビーカーも積み込むことができました。
使用してはいませんが、電子レンジ(オーブン?!)もありました。

船上からはワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができます。
特に屋外で寝転がりながらパノラマビューを見ながら過ごす時間は最高でした!

船は出発時刻の15分くらい前に桟橋にやってきました。
桟橋付近にはターミナルのような待つ場所がないので、あまり早めに行かない方がいいかもしれません。

Perfect service, would totally recommend. They had different options for the rides so that was really
Sweet.

We boarded with 12 people. The yacht was larger and more beautiful than I expected, and we were able to spend a blissful time (^○^) Masa, who speaks Japanese, and the kind captain Austin prepared plenty of delicious appetizers for us, and I definitely want to use this service again! It was my first time seeing fireworks up so close!!!! Lying on the net at the front of the yacht while feeling the wind was just the best!!!! I already want to go again soon (^○^)

12人で乗船しました。
思っていたより大きくて綺麗なヨットで、至福の時を過ごすことができました(^○^)
日本語の出来るマサさん、優しい船長オースティン、美味しい前菜をたっぷり用意していただき、是非是非また利用させていただきたいです！
花火、あんなに間近で見たの初めててす！！！！
ヨットの前方のネットの上で寝転びながら風を感じるのがもう最高！！！！
またすぐ乗りたくなっちゃいます(^○^)

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした！
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高！パーティーも最高！クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました！

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます！ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです！

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました！
スタッフさん1名は少し日本語を話してくれます❤︎

Overall the event was nice. Food was good, but the table settings were cramped! It was uncomfortable to be so close to the person sitting next to me and trying to enjoy my food and avoid physical contact. The bar only had beer/wine and no other alcohol. The entertainment was good, but there was no dance floor or dancing!! Considering this is a NYE party and the price, there should have been dancing. Instead, they moved us from the ballroom to a 2nd floor balcony for the fireworks, but again, no dancing. We noticed the party below us had a live band and dance floor, so we ended up crashing their party. In addition, there was no transportation either by taxi or ride share after the party. We and three other couples were stranded at the hotel after the party for over 2 hours as taxi's were busy and both Uber/Lyft had no drivers available. Again, considering the price for the event and calling it a "Luxury celebration" it lacked dancing and a party atmosphere to celebrate the New Year.

Was surprised it was a more focused Japanese event. Food was really good, wine sub par. Enjoyed the entertainment but would have enjoyed a dance band. New year decorations, hats, etc, were cheap

Captain Amy and her crew were so much fun to celebrate with and bring in the new year!

I really enjoyed both the hula and Elvis, as well as Michael, but my companion was not as impressed... Especially the first-year middle school student kept fiddling with their smartphone. I think the evaluation can change quite a bit depending on whether one understands the original material or the English MC, and whether they can keep up with the atmosphere of the venue.

フラもエルビスもマイケルも私は非常に楽しめましたが、同行者はイマイチ…
特に中学1年生はちょくちょくスマホをいじる始末でした。
元ネタや英語のMCがわかるか、会場のノリについていけるかでかなり評価が変わると思います。

Fantastic experience! Really well organised and attentive hosts! Would definitely recommend!

The experience was absolutely very worth it with a big crew. We had a wonderful time with Jason & Courtney very very lovely host / captain. The boat was beautifully finished. Unforgettable experience 3-4 hours is absolutely perfect. We saw dolphins, sea turtles & fishes.

Neither Presley nor Michael resembled each other at all, and they didn't entertain me. The entire show was not interesting. New Year's Night was ruined.

プレスリーも、マイケルも全く似ていないし　楽しませてくれない。
ショー全体が　面白くなかった。ニューイヤーナイトが台無しでした。

I was able to welcome the New Year joyfully. It was a fun memory. Thank you very much. The buffet was delicious, and it was helpful that there was juice for those who couldn't drink champagne.

楽しく新年を迎えることができました。
楽しい思い出です。ありがとうございました。
ブッフェも美味しくて、シャンパンが飲めない人のためにジュースがあって助かりました。
