Even though it was cloudy, I could see a bit of the sunset and Diamond Head with a rainbow over it. It was amazing along with the flowing music!

「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合!有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内>
It was different from the photos, and it wasn't a table seat.
写真と違うしテーブル席じゃなかった
Activity Date: 2022/09/25 | Posted on: 2022/10/03

I made a VIP reservation and was told I would have the front row seats, but from the photos, it looked like a table seat, and in reality, there were no table seats, just regular seats. If there are changes, I think it should be clearly stated. Moreover, the price difference between VIP and regular reservations is significant, yet the regular seats are just one row behind the VIP ones.

It's really unfair to book based on the photos.

VIPで予約し、一番前の席とのことだったが、写真で見た限り、テーブル席なのに実際はテーブル席などなく、普通の席だった。変更があるならそう書くべきだと思う。しかも、vipと普通の予約で値段が大きく違うのに普通でも席はvipの一つ後ろなだけ。

こちらは写真を見て予約するのに酷すぎる

花火鑑賞 ナイトセーリング  2種類の船から選べる!ロマンチックな夜のクルーズ ドリンク購入可<金曜日限定/アラワイボートハーバー発>
Beyond expectations cruising
期待以上のクルージング
Activity Date: 2022/09/09 | Posted on: 2022/10/02

We were enjoying a lively cruise with the captain's MC and the people around us, but as the sun began to set, the atmosphere turned quietly romantic.

As the sun sank lower, we thought we saw a large airship rising in the east, but it turned out to be a giant full moon. At that moment, a couple appeared to propose with a ring, and the excitement on the ship reached a peak.

In the end, the evening was capped off with a small fireworks display, reminiscent of bidding farewell to summer.

船長のMCのもと周りの人達とワイワイ言いながらクルージングを楽しんでいましたが、やがて日が暮れてくるとしんみりロマンチックな雰囲気に。

さらに、日が沈んでいくにつれ、東に大きな飛行船が上がってきた?と思ったら、それは巨大な満月でした。
そこで、指輪を差し出して結婚を申し込みするカップルも現れ、船内は大盛り上り。

最後は、ゆく夏を惜しむがごとき小さめの花火で締め括られました。

Waikiki Semi-Private Polynesian Canoe Sail & Hands-On Cultural Experience Tour
The 8am morning sail is worth it!
Activity Date: 2022/04/26 | Posted on: 2022/09/29

Yes, it's early. But, we LOVED the early sail. Less boats on the water and calmer ocean conditions. If you're looking for a unique cultural experience, this is it. We did the morning cruise and were the only 2 guests on the boat which was really cool. The boat limits capacity to 6-guests. As a local resident, I really liked how the two main hosts of the cultural experience and the Captain were Kamehameha graduates. This boat also offers midday cruises and sunset. Overall, the morning sail was calm and one of the truly unique sails here on Oahu.

Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Dinner, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula Show
So glad there was a covered area from the rain!
Activity Date: 2022/07/06 | Posted on: 2022/09/29

Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.

And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.

Waikiki Sunset Dinner & Fireworks Sail with Cocktails - Spirit of Aloha Cruises
Sunset + City lights + Fireworks
Activity Date: 2022/07/22 | Posted on: 2022/09/29

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.

I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.

If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.

Overall, great cruise! So much fun!

We really enjoyed the sunset catamaran cruise - amazing views of the water & Waikiki coastline with enough Mai Tais & Coronas to go around for everyone. Some bumpy moments so I would not recommend if you are prone to seasickness. Overall we had a really amazing time and I would definitely do it again!

Even though it rained during our cruise we still had a great time because of the crew memebrs! Affordable great drinks (1 was free) and good music! Definitely recommend booking through them and will do it again when we come back to Hawaii! Shout out to Sarah for giving her rain jacket to the lady next to me so she wouldn't get wet!

Activity Date: 2022/09/24 | Posted on: 2022/09/26

I read the reviews and trusted everyone's comments about how great it was, so I signed up. It was amazing! Since I was staying at the Sheraton, it only took 5 minutes to get to the boarding area from my room. We had to wait quite a while until departure, but it was fine even if we were cutting it close. We sped out into the ocean, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. After 6 o'clock, the sunset turned the sky red, and it was stunning.

口コミを読んで、皆さんの最高という感想を信じて、申込ました。最高でした!
シェラトンに泊まっていたので、部屋から5分で乗り場まで行けます。出航までかなり待ちました。ギリギリでも大丈夫です。風をきって、かなり沖まで走ります。海から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドはとてもキレイです。6時過ぎからサンセットで空が赤くなりキレイです。

スタッフさんの配慮、おもてなし、クルーズそのもの、最高!
Activity Date: 2022/09/23 | Posted on: 2022/09/26

Typically, the seats of other people are right next to you, and since everyone is not wearing masks, if you are concerned about COVID, the restrictions in Japan are completely different, so at the very least, wearing a mask is necessary.
I attended alone, but considering my seating, I was allowed to sit in a special reserve seat and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The colors of the sunset were indescribable, a pink hue that is rarely seen in Japan, and it dyed the sea that color as well.
Since we set sail while it was still bright, the view of the buildings in Waikiki and the mountains behind them from the ocean was fantastic, and especially the night view after it got dark was amazing.
The cruise lasts for two hours until the fireworks start, so you can really enjoy it.

通常であれば他の人の席はすぐ横で、皆さん、マスク等もしていないので、コロナを気にされるなら、日本での制限状況とは全く違うので、最低限マスクは必要です。
一人での参加だったのですが、席を考えていただき、特別の予備席に座らせていただき満喫できました。
夕焼けの色はなんとも言えない日本ではなかなか見れないピンク色で海までそのピ色に染まってました。
明るいうちから出港するので、沖から眺めるワイキキの建物と後ろの山々の景色は最高で、とりわけ暗くなってからの夜景も最高です。
クルーズの時間が花火が上がるまでの2時間あるので、かなり満喫できます。

Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open Bar Included - Holokai Catamaran
Really fun time!
Activity Date: 2022/09/06 | Posted on: 2022/09/24

This tour was really fun! I've been to Oahu multiple times but my fiance hasn't. So we decided to try some fun new stuff out. I've never done a sunset tour. Our group on the boat was fun and slightly reserved, which is fine by me! The crew was great! It's only 2 guys but they make it fun with passing out drinks and starting up convos. I get sea sick and forgot to take my motion meds before we took off from the beach. Going out the water was exceptionally choppy and the waves were big the further out you got. I had to stand up and by the railing to make sure if I had to vomit it wouldn't go on me or anyone else. The meds finally kicked in on the way back and the water also smoothed out coming back in so I was perfectly fine to start talking to people and getting my moneys worth of drinks in me. This cruise is for everyone! There was one young girl (underage) who stayed up in front of the boat on the netting and got soaked and enjoyed every min of it. There was two older ladies (I mean like 75-85 years in age who needed more assistance getting on the boat and off and around the boat at times and the two guys who run the boat were perfect gentlemen helping them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Also the music was good! I'd recommend this to everyone and anyone wanting to enjoy a sunset cruise!

I was surprised by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. They really looked alike. The hula dance and fire performance were impressive, and I enjoyed a genuine American show.
The food was not great. The meat was tough, and the seats were cramped. I had trouble communicating with the staff in Japanese, but a person at a nearby table helped me.

エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンにびっくり。本当に良く似ていました。フラダンスも火のパフォーマンスも見応えがあり、アメリカ本場のショーを観賞しました。
食事はイマイチ。肉が硬かったし席も狭く、スタッフに日本語が通じず、苦労しました。近くの席の人が助けてくれました。

Good experience!
Activity Date: 2022/09/16 | Posted on: 2022/09/18

Super fun experience. The boat and crew were friendly and their pina coladas were EXCELLENT.

The only thing that kept this from being an outstanding experience was that as a solo participant, I was a little left out. Drink orders went out and someone finally noticed I didn’t have one and took care of it. Then, towards the end, another staff member went around asking everyone if they wanted their photos taken and I wasn’t included. At the end of the day, it’s no biggie and I don’t think it was intentional but just wanted to mention it for consideration. I think it’s just one of those things that happen to solo travelers here and there.

Otherwise, loved it!

We were a party of four and one of ours had to use the restroom downstairs and he said it was clean and well maintenance.
