All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

This was a great evening activity for a Friday. The check-in process was super-simple, we even had extra time so we went to the small bar to the right of the check-in stand. Then we lined up and where able to board the vessel. I recommend shorts, as this is a barefoot cruise. I got a little wet but others weren't so fortunate. The cruise was a quite ride out, then down to Diamond Head and back near Magic Island to see the fireworks. Overall a great experience.

There was a host who provided explanations in English, and the show began, but it felt like only the host was speaking in English despite more than half of the participants being Japanese. It might just be my feeling since I can't speak English, but I wish they had prepared pamphlets or something. The location was also surrounded by buildings, and the atmosphere was not great, which was disappointing given my expectations.

司会者がいて、説明がはいり（英語）、ショーが始まるのですが、参加者の半数以上が日本人なのに、司会者のみが英語でしゃべっている感じでした。自分が英語ができないのでそう感じただけかもしれませんが、出来たらパンフレットとかも用意してくれていたらと思いました。
場所もビルに囲まれた中で雰囲気もイマイチで、期待していただけに残念でした。

I have done sunset cruises in various countries, but this yacht cruise was the best I've ever experienced! There were only two groups of Japanese people, and I really felt like I finally made it to Hawaii! I was able to take lots of pictures with people from different countries, and it was so much fun! I definitely want to do this again if I get the chance! I was worried about the meeting place because there were some unclear reviews, but once I got there, it was straightforward, and there was a counter, so everything was fine. No need to worry.

いろいろな国でサンセットクルーズをやりましたが、このヨットクルーズが今までで一番サイコーに良かったです！日本人は2組だけ、やっとハワイにきたぞ！と実感しました。いろいろな国の方と写真もいっぱいとることができてとても楽しかったです！これはまた機会があればぜひやりたい！集合場所、わかりづらい口コミがあり心配しましたが、集合場所行けばその通りなにも迷うことなく、カウンターもあり大丈夫です。心配はいりません。

It was a celebrity look-alike show, and I really enjoyed it because I could also see dancers, hula dancing, and a fire show, and I was able to take photos!

有名人のそっくりさんショーですが、ダンサーやフラダンス、ファイヤーショーなども見れて写真も撮れたのでとても楽しめました！

Faboulous! I would recommend for families as well. Very professional; told a beautiful story; and food was 5 star.

I participated with my mother, who is 61, and my daughter, who is 34.

When we first saw the boat, my mother was worried about the swaying, but as time went on, she had a very satisfied look on her face.

The Mai Tai Catamaran looks like a large yacht with an engine. When boarding, you go down to the shore and step directly onto the boat, so your feet (up to your knees) get wet in the sea. That was also fun.

About 40 to 50 guests, along with the captain (driver) and bartender, board at once. The clientele is about 80% Westerners, with the rest being Chinese and Japanese, and there were about 3 to 4 Japanese groups. It adds to the exotic atmosphere.

The captain and bartender speak English. By the way, the staff at the reception and the explanations during boarding are also in English, but as long as you follow the actions of those around you, you won’t have any trouble.

As you can see in the photo, the boat is completely outdoors, so it is directly affected by rain and wind. If you can ride on a nice day, you can see the beautiful sunset in Waikiki.

The drink bar on board offers unlimited drinks. I was recommended the cocktail "Mai Tai," which shares the same name as the boat, and most guests were drinking it. The alcohol content is low, and it tastes like tropical juice, so you need to be careful not to drink too much (there is no restroom on the boat). They also have non-alcoholic options, so my mother was drinking pineapple juice (from a can).

The boat trip lasts about an hour and a half. The sunset is breathtakingly beautiful, and we were even able to see a pod of dolphins in the distance. It's great for families and friends, but I highly recommend it for couples.

The price is quite reasonable compared to dinner cruises. I definitely plan to repeat this experience the next time I visit Hawaii.

母61歳、娘34歳の親子で参加しました。 

最初に船を見たとき、母は揺れを心配していましたが、何のことはない、時間が経つにつれて大満足の顔になっていました。

マイタイ・カタマラン号はエンジン付きの大型ヨットのような形をしています。乗船する際は海岸に下りて直接乗り込むので、足元（ひざ下くらい）が海に浸かって濡れます。それもまた楽しいです。 

40～50人くらいの客と、船長（運転手）、バーテンダーが一度に乗り込みます。客層は欧米人が8割、あとは中国人や日本人で、日本人は3～4組くらいでした。それも異国情緒があります。 

船長やバーテンダーは英語です。ちなみに、受付の係員や乗船時の説明も英語ですが、周りの人の行動に合わせていれば困ることはありません。

 船は写真のとおり、思いっきり屋外なので、雨風の影響を直に受けます。天気の良い日に乗ることができたら、とても美しいワイキキのサンセットを見ることができます。 

船上のドリンクバーは飲み放題です。船と同じ名前のカクテル「マイタイ」をオススメされ、ほとんどのお客さんがそれを飲んでいました。アルコール度数は低く、トロピカルジュースみたいな味なので飲みすぎに注意する必要はあります（船にトイレはありません）。ノンアルコールも置いているので、母はパイナップルジュース（缶）を飲んでいました。

1時間半くらいの船旅です。サンセットはため息が出るほど美しく、イルカの群れを遠くに見ることもできました。家族や友人ともいいですが、カップルで乗ることをぜひオススメします。

 価格もディナークルーズなどと比較するとずいぶん安価です。次回ハワイを訪れる際にも、必ずリピートしようと思っています。

I had a great time. About half of the participants were Japanese, and I heard some say that there were a lot of Japanese people today. The cruise was very beautiful and pleasant, and I had no issues with the 2 or 3 cocktails I enjoyed. The sunset was also amazing.

Actually, a few days ago there was a rain forecast, and I was considering canceling, but I'm glad I didn't. It was a bit cloudy, but the boat didn't sway much. This is a tour I would like to join again when I visit Hawaii.

楽しかったです。半分くらい日本人で、今日は日本人が多いなぁって言ってました。クルーズはとてもきれいで気持ちよかったし、カクテルも2，3杯いただく限りでは問題ありません。サンセットも最高でした。
実は、数日前から雨天予報で、キャンセルしようか迷ったのですが、キャンセルしないで良かったです。曇りがちだったけど、船はそんなに揺れませんでした。ハワイに行った際にはまた参加したいツアーです。

My friends and I had the BEST night in Hawaii with this combo :D The drinks flowed freely (Get the shaker! TOTALLY WORTH IT!), the music was kicking, the views were awesome and the crew was on IT!

We wanted a to see the sunset and have some cocktails AND have a delicious dinner, and this fit the bill perfectly. Rather than shelling out $100 or more for a dinner cruise (basically a floating restaurant), we got to enjoy the sunset while under sail, had all of the booze we could drink (mimosas, mai tais and more!) and then had a yummy dinner that we got to grill up ourselves. Woot! Woot!

The dinner was hella tasty and it was great that we got the combo since I saw people walk up to the hostess at the restaurant and they got told that there would be an hour and a half wait. WHAT!? We checked in and got escorted right to our table. Yup! Yup!

Definitely a great choice for anyone looking to have a great island night in Waikiki~

I participated in a two-hour all-you-can-drink sunset cruise. With good music playing, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the lovely atmosphere! I wanted to drink a lot and soak in the ambiance, but unfortunately, this boat doesn't have a restroom... While there were plenty of elements to enjoy without drinking, it was a bit disappointing not to be able to drink much due to the lack of a restroom, especially since it was an all-you-can-drink option. However, the sunset was so breathtaking that it made me forget about that. Witnessing the moment the sun sets from the boat was incredibly romantic! I joined with two female friends, but I think this tour is perfect for couples and newlyweds. I highly recommend it! I'm glad I could participate without feeling seasick and had a great time.

２時間飲み放題のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
良い感じの音楽とともに綺麗な景色を眺め、素敵な雰囲気！！
お酒を沢山飲んでこの雰囲気に酔いしれた～いと思ったのですが、この船トイレが無いんですね・・・。
お酒飲まなくても酔いしれる要素は充分にありましたが、せっかくの飲み放題なのにトイレが無いことによってあまり飲めないのはやや残念でした。
でも、そんなことを忘れさせてくれるかのようなサンセットは絶景です。
陽が沈んでいく瞬間を船上で拝めるなんて、何ともロマンティック！！
私は友人(女２人)と参加しましたが、カップルや新婚さんにはもってこいのツアーだと思いました。オススメです！！
船酔いもなく、楽しく参加できて良かったです。

I opted for the buffet style, and the food was delicious. I was able to talk with the people around me, the hula was great, and the show featuring Elvis was cool, with wonderful singing. Of course, Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson were also amazing.

ビュッフェ形式にしましたが、料理も美味しかったし、周りの人達とも話せたしフラも良かったし、ショーもエルビスが格好良かったのと歌もすばらしかったです。
勿論、ガガ、マイケルジャクソンも最高でしたよ。

Today, the wind was strong, and we had the main sail set to one point reef (reefed sail), but as expected from a catamaran yacht, we were able to enjoy the sunset comfortably without heeling. Also, the drinks inside were all-you-can-drink, which might be great for a first round of drinks with friends! I would like to use this service again.

本日は風が強くメインセールは１ポイントリーフ（縮帆）でしたがさすがカタマランヨット、ヒールする事もなく快適にサンセットを楽しむ事ができました。また中での酒は飲み放題で友人との飲み会の一次会にも良いかな！？また利用したいと思います。

My wife and I participated together. The course I chose involved dining outside before watching the show, but even during our meal, the hula dancers we saw before entertained us by coming around the tables to sing and dance. The staff was also very hospitable, making it enjoyable even before the show started. The location was easy to find on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and of course, the show was fantastic.

家内と二人で参加しました。私が選んだｺｰｽは、外で食事をしてからｼｮｰを見るものでしたが、食事の前に見たﾌﾗﾀﾞﾝｽの人たちが食事中もﾃｰﾌﾞﾙを回って歌や踊りを見せてくれたり、ｽﾀｯﾌもﾎｽﾋﾟﾀﾘﾃｨ溢れていて、ｼｮｰを見る前から楽しめます。場所もﾛﾔﾙﾊﾜｲｱﾝｾﾝﾀｰ４階と分かり易く、勿論ｼｮｰも最高でした。

I entered the restaurant at 6:30 PM and enjoyed dinner on the terrace while chatting with a Japanese person at the next table. The food was just average; it wasn't particularly delicious or bad. However, incorporating hula into the experience made it truly enjoyable. So, the food didn't really matter. From 8:00 PM, there was a fun showtime featuring well-structured performances with songs and dances from Gaga, Michael, and Elvis. It was seriously fun! At the end, we took a photo together, which became a nice memory. Thank you! The Elvis impersonator and the photo with my daughter were great.

18：30に入店し、テラスでディナーをしていると相席の日本人の方とお話しながら、お食事を進めました。お食事は　まぁ普通で特に美味しいとかまずいとかはないです。でも、フラを間に取り入れてくれて本当に楽しい時間でした。だから、食事はどうでもよかったです。２０：００からは楽しいショウータイムで、ガガ、マイケル、エルビスと歌に踊りにフラによく構成された内容でした。マジ！！楽しかったです。最後は　写真を一緒に撮ってくれて、思い出になりました。サンキュー♪　エルビスのそっくりさん、娘とのフォトGOODでしたよ。

I thought the event might be canceled because it was raining quite heavily by the meeting time, but we set sail 30 minutes late in light rain. There were only two Japanese families, including us; the rest were all foreigners. Mai Tai was served, and we all toasted together. Mixing with the cheerful foreigners and aided by the drinks, we ended up having quite a bit of fun. Although the enjoyment of sipping cocktails while watching the setting sun was somewhat diminished, the rain stopped, and we were treated to a beautiful double rainbow, so it turned out well.

集合時間になっても結構強い雨が降っていたので中止になるのかと思っていましたが、30分遅れで小雨の中を出航。日本人は私たちともう1家族だけで後はすべて外国人でした。マイタイがサーブされてみんなで乾杯。陽気な外国人に混ざって、酔いも手伝って結構はしゃいでしまいました。沈みゆく夕日を見ながらカクテルをという楽しみは半減しましたが、雨がやんでダブルの虹がきれいに見えていたので良しとしました。

Since it was my first time, I think it was good to see it at least once. The food was average, but it was served quickly. The fire show was the most impressive.

はじめてだったので、一度は見ておいてよかったかたかと思います。
お料理は普通ですが、しまわれるのが早かった。
ファイアーショウが一番見応えがありました。

Honestly, it could not have been better! Everything was perfect!!! Recommend? YES, absolutely!

The title is a little confusing when booking the Friday sunset cocktail sail ...... kinda sounds like you're getting the fireworks at the end. Unfortunately, that's a totally different sail, but would have been nice. The sail kind of just goes back and forth between the Hilton and the Westin until sunset then goes in. I wasn't fond of the run drink they served, but it comes with the price. All in all, the captain and 1 person crew/bartender were accommodating. I would recommend it.

I read the reviews and everyone had such great things to say that I really wanted to participate, so I joined the Green Room Dinner Show monitor tour. Since our hotel was Aulani, a Disney Resort in the Ko Olina area, I was very grateful for the transportation provided to this location.

We left the hotel at 3:50 PM and, despite getting caught in quite a bit of traffic around Waikiki, we arrived at the venue around 5:20 PM. Since the entrance was at 6:00 PM, we had to wait about 40 minutes near the VIP entrance, which left us with some extra time, but once we got inside, we had a wonderful time.

First, only three groups of ten people were guided into the Green Room, where we were served cocktails and some snacks and fruits. We took photos with an Elvis impersonator who came to greet us (this photo was included in the tour price, and we also got Elvis's autograph after the show).

After that, the theater manager gave us a fun tour of the backstage and dressing rooms, and we even took photos on stage. We then joined the VIP tour group for dinner, and our seats were right up close to the stage, allowing us to enjoy a very powerful show.

The meal started with lobster, and the meat was tender, with the mashed potatoes as a side being very delicious. However, the mashed potatoes might have been a bit too much in quantity. I ordered a non-alcoholic Blue Hawaii drink, which was also tasty. The chocolate cake for dessert was very good, but it was a bit too sweet for us Japanese, making it hard to finish.

The show featured Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga. All three were excellent singers, and the performance was fantastic. The luau that took place between their shows was also of very high quality.

From start to finish, I had a truly enjoyable time and was very satisfied. At 9:40 PM, we were guided to the shuttle and taken back to the hotel. The people who provided the transportation and the woman who guided us to the venue were all very friendly and kind, making for a truly wonderful half-day experience, for which I am very grateful.

Next time I visit Hawaii (even if it's not a monitor tour), I definitely want to participate again.

レビューを読ませていただき皆さんの評判がとても良かったのでぜひ参加したいと思いグリーンルーム・ディナーショーのモニターツアーに参加させて頂きました。
今回私たちは滞在ホテルがコオリナ地区のアウラニディズニーだったのでこちらまでの送迎があったのもとても有難かったです。
さてPM3:50にホテルを出発して途中ワイキキ付近ではかなりの渋滞に巻き込まれながらもPM5:20くらいには会場まえに到着しました。入場はPM6:00ということでVIP入口付近で40分ほどの待ち時間があり少し時間を持て余してしまいましたが、入場してからはとても素敵な時間を過ごせました。
まずグリーンルームに3グループ10人だけが案内され、カクテルとちょっとしたおつまみ・果物のサービスを受け、挨拶に来てくれたエルビスのそっくりさんと各グループづつ写真を撮ってもらいました。(この写真はツアー料金に含まれっており、私たちはショー終了後にエルビスにサインもしてもらいました。)
その後劇場支配人がバックステージと楽屋を案内してくれてとても楽しく説明してくださり、舞台上で写真も撮ってもらいました。
その後VIPツアーの方たちと合流してお食事を頂きましたが、やはり席は舞台かぶりつきでとても迫力あるショーを楽しめました。
お食事はロブスターに始まりお肉も柔らかく付け合わせのマッシュポテトもとても美味しかったです。ただマッシュポテトちょっと量が多すぎたかな？
飲み物は私はノンアルコールのブルーハワイを頼みましたがこれも美味しかったです。
デザートのチョコレートケーキも味はとても良かったのですが、日本人の私たちにはちょっと
甘すぎて完食は厳しい感じでした。
今回のショーの出演はエルビスプレスリー・マイケルジャクソン・レディーガガでした。3人ともとても歌がうまくて素晴らしいショーでした。パフォーマンス最高です。
彼らのショーの合間に行われたルアウもとてもクオリティの高いものでした。
最初から最後まで本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来てとても満足しました。
PM9:40に送迎車に案内されホテルまで送ってもらいました。
送迎してくれた人たちも会場まで案内してくれた女性も皆とても気さくで親切な人たちだったので本当に素晴らしい半日を過ごすことが出来、とても感謝しています。
次回ハワイに行った折には(例えモニターツアーで無かっとしても)ぜひ参加したいと思っています。

Although my stay in Hawaii was short, it was my first trip to Hawaii, and I was overwhelmed by the various entertainment options. However, this live performance was packed with authentic live music, hula dancing, and Polynesian culture, and I was very satisfied. There were also many honeymooners from around the world.

今回、ハワイ滞在期間が短いものの、初めてのハワイ旅行ということで、色々なエンタメが魅力的で困っていましたが、このライヴは、本格的なライヴもフラダンスもポリネシアンもすべてがギュッと詰まっていて大満足でした。
世界中からハネムーンで来てるお客さんも多かったです。

We did the activity our first night and Hawaii and it started the trip off right. We had a wonderful time!

We took the sunset cruise on our last night in Waikiki. It was such a fun way to end our trip! The crew was great and took great care of us aboard the boat. It was such a relaxing way to spend the evening. If we lived closer, I would take this cruise all the time!

This is Hawaii!
It's incredibly refreshing!
The scenery is wonderful!
Last time, I watched the fireworks from Mai Tai on Friday night, but this time, I recommend the sunset!

これぞハワイ！
最高に気持ちいい！
素晴らしい景色！
前回は金曜夜の花火をマイタイからみましたが、今回のサンセットのほうがオススメです！

Was it because of the sunset? We waited over 30 minutes before departure, but we got to see a beautiful sunset. The crew was very friendly, and they kept refilling our wine, which made us very satisfied. It's a great tour for those who enjoy drinking.

日の入りの関係か？出航まで30分以上待たされましたが、綺麗なサンセットが見れました。クルーたちも大変気さくで、ワインのお代わりもいっぱい注いでもらい大満足でした。お酒好きにはお得なツアーです。

My fiancé & I absolutely loved every second of this sunset cruise. The staff is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, & the views are just perfect. We have already decided on our next trip, we will for sure be doing this again. If you're smart, you'll take them up on the offer prior to boarding the boat. They offer a shaker with a house cocktail which you get before boarding to pregame but it also gets you on the boat before anybody else (plus the drink is so so good)

I participated in a tour during Silver Week. The sunset viewed from the catamaran and the Waikiki sunset were amazing. The Mai Tai was a bit weak in alcohol but still delicious. I switched to beer and enjoyed a few Mai Tais along with some beer. We encountered some rain and got soaked, but that was part of the fun. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

The only downside was that although the meeting time was set for 5 PM, when I asked the staff before 5 PM, they said, "We won't check in for another 20 minutes," and we ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes before departure. I wish I could have done more shopping during that time, so I deducted one star for that. However, it was such a fun tour that I almost forgot about that.

シルバーウィークにツアーに参加してきました。
カタマランから見るサンセット、ワイキキの夕日、　最高でした。
マイタイもアルコールが薄いけれども　おいしかったです。
ビールへの変更もでき、マイタイ数杯と、ビールを飲んできました。
途中で雨に会い、びしょ濡れになりましたが、これも醍醐味。
とても楽しい2時間でした。
ただマイナス点は、集合時間が5時になっていたのに、5時前に係りの人に尋ねると、「後20分くらいしないとチェックしない」と言われ、出航まで結局 30分近く待っていました。
それならもっと買い物したかったのに、、、と時間がすこしもったいなかったのでマイナス星１つです。
でもそれを忘れるくらいたのしいツアーでした。

On the evening of our arrival in Honolulu, we boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran. A nice breeze was blowing, and it was perfect cruising weather with big waves. We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful sunset with cocktails in hand, accompanied by a lively crew and great background music. I will definitely ride again!

ホノルル到着日の夕方にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗り込みました。良い風が吹き、波も大きなクルーズ日和。ノリの良いクルーとBGMでカクテル片手に素晴らしいサンセットを心行くまで楽しみました。また絶対乗ります！

We booked this event last minute e.g. the afternoon before the event day and we're lucky that we got on. We enjoyed the trip. The food was ok perhaps average for the price of the event. 2 alcoholic baverages were included subsequent alcoholic drinks were 1$ (beer, wine) or 2$ (cocktails, mixed drinks) which is very cheap. So a good deal for people who can drink a lot. The crew was friendly, helpful and knowledgable.

We were a family of 8 people that included 4 young adult children looking for a fireworks cruise that included dinner and found this cruise on this website that was very well priced.
The fireworks are on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village every Friday night and the Hilton put on a fireworks cruise at a more expensive price but I wasn't sure if we would like the food so decided to go for this cruise that included BBQ buffet dinner at Shore Bird restaurant in the Outrigger hotel. We met the Holokai catamaran on the beach directly out front of the Shore Bird restaurant. The crew were friendly and we were able to purchase our drinks on board and got to keep our cocktail shaker that we bought our drinks in, nice souvenir! We sailed out to position in front of the Hilton Hotel Rainbow tower.
Such a lovely tour to do whether you are a small or large group and then return to the beach to make your way to a BBQ of fish,chicken or steak and help yourself to the all you can eat salad buffet followed by desert.
We had the steak and fish for dinner and we're happy with our meals, I especially liked their potato salad int the salad buffet as well.
The restaurant overlooks the beach and they also have karaoke. I would highly recommend this cruise as it is well priced and it gives you the option of dinner or no dinner if you would prefer to eat elsewhere.

The service was excellent, and the food, especially the truffle mashed potatoes, was delicious. The show was lively and enjoyable, with many non-Japanese audience members present.

サービスはとても良く、食事は特にトリュフ入りのマッシュポテトが美味でした。
ショーは観客にたくさんの日本人以外の方がいらっしゃったので盛り上がり楽しかったです。

It seems that the cruise on Saturday coincided with a local anniversary gathering, resulting in quite a crowd. There was also a group of about eight Japanese people from a company trip in the Kansai area. The crew was all very friendly, and we had a great time. The boat goes quite fast. Since we departed in the evening, it was a great idea to bring a long-sleeved shirt. We were able to take some lovely sunset photos. Since there was an all-you-can-drink option, be aware that while there are restrooms available, my husband and son mentioned that it might be a bit difficult for women to use them.

土曜日のクルーズと言う事と、地元の人の記念日の集まりにも重なったようで、かなりの人出でした。関西方面の会社の社員旅行の8名ほどの日本人のグループもご一緒でした。クルーは全員大変にフレンドリーで楽しめました。船はかなりスピードが出ます。夕方出発と言う事もあり、長そでを一枚持って行って大正解。素敵なサンセットの写真も撮れました。飲み放題と言う事もあり、飲み過ぎてしまうとトイレもありますが、女性はちょっと入りにくいだろうと、主人や息子の感想でしたのでご注意を。
