All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Before departure, there was quite a heavy rain and rough seas, so I thought it might be canceled. However, against the backdrop of whitecaps, we set sail. Since it was a catamaran, I felt there was less rocking. When the weather is bad, it can get very cold on the boat, so it's good to have something to wear. Also, because of the all-you-can-drink option, if you get carried away and drink too much, you'll find yourself needing the restroom more often. There is indeed a type of restroom located on the left side of the bow that you enter from below. However, you have to go down a ladder of about 1 meter (and it's quite cramped inside), so those with mobility issues or elderly individuals should be extra careful.

出港する前まではかなり大雨と時化でしたので、中止になるのかな～と思って待っていたら、白波が立つ中なんと出港しました。双胴船なので揺れは少なかったように思います。天気が悪いと船上はとても寒いので羽織るものがあると良いです。また、飲み放題のため調子に乗って飲み過ぎるとトイレが近くなってきますが、なんと舳先の左側の方に下に入るタイプのトイレがあります。しかし、梯子で１mちょっと降りないと行けない（しかも中はかなり狭い）ので足が悪い方やお年寄りの方は更に気を付けて下さい。

On the day of the event, it was a bit disappointing that the luau was held indoors due to the weather, but I was greeted with a lei at the entrance and chose a Mai Tai. There were many types of food available to fill up before the show, and I was quite satisfied. The show included audience participation events, creating a friendly atmosphere. The singing and hula were fantastic, and the fire dance brought everything to a climax. It was an incredibly enjoyable evening.

当日は天候の影響で室内でのルアウとなり少し残念でしたが
入り口でレイを掛けていただき、マイタイをチョイス。
ショーの前の腹ごなしも多くの種類が並び満腹になりました。
ショーでは客席参加型のイベントもあり和やかな雰囲気でした。
歌、フラも最高、ファイヤーダンスで最高潮となり
とても楽しく過ごせた夕べでした。

I was able to participate from Japan without any worries, thanks to the kind answers to my questions during the reservation process. The atmosphere was even better than I imagined, the drinks were very delicious, and they served plenty. Both of the captains were cool, which added to the charm of the sunset cruising. I am still reminiscing about the experience since returning home. Thank you very much. I will definitely make a reservation next time.

予約の際も質問に親切にお答え頂きまして何の不安もなく日本から楽しみに参加させていただきました。想像以上にムードも良く、ドリンクがとても美味しく、沢山振舞って下さいました。お二人のキャプテンさんもカッコよく、更にサンセットクルージングの魅力が増しました。帰国してからも思い出に浸っております。ありがとうございました。次回も必ず予約します。

We had a great time on the Sunset Cruise, the staff were great, sunset didn’t disappoint!!
I bought the tickets as a surprise for my husband’s 60th in Hawaii, and we both had a ball! Watch those Maitais though, as they warned us, they really do creep up on you...

I have used Sunset Sailing several times, but during busy times, I have often found it sold out after arriving on-site. This year, I took advantage of the option to make a reservation in advance. The sea changed to a deep blue, and I enjoyed views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the water. With cheerful music playing and unlimited drinks like my favorite Mai Tai, the weather was great, and I was able to see the sunset perfectly. It was absolutely wonderful! My grandchild, who experienced this for the first time, was also thrilled!

サンセットセーリングは何度か利用したことがありましたが、混雑時期のこの時間帯は現地入りしてからではsold outということが何度かあり、今年は事前に予約できるこちらを利用させてもらいました。深いブルーに変化する海、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチ、陽気な音楽を聴きながら大好きなマイタイ等のドリンク飲み放題、天気も良かったのでサンセットもバッチリ見ることが出来、とにかく最高でした。初体験の孫も大喜びでした!

We attended with seven family members in the Diamond Seat. The price is high, but the major benefits are being able to watch the show from the front row and having priority access to the buffet. The buffet had a long line, possibly due to the Golden Week crowds, and it was disappointing to be cut in line by those who didn't have priority. The drink bar also had a Japanese menu available. Additionally, they take a photo of you at the beginning, and later a staff member comes around selling the framed photo for $50, which is amusing. After the show, the performers allow you to take pictures in the hallway, so that was satisfying.

家族7人で、ダイヤモンドシートで参加しました。
価格は高いですが大きいメリットは、最前列でショーを観れる・ビュッフェが最優先で並べるの2点です。ビュッフェはGWの混雑のせいか長蛇の列で、優先ではない方に割込みされ残念でした。
ドリンクバーは日本語メニューもありました。
また、最初に写真撮られ、後でまわってくるスタッフさんが写真たて付き50ドルで売りに来ます笑
ショーの後、出演者の方が廊下で写真を撮らせてくれるのでそれで満足でした。

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sunset because it was cloudy, but I was able to see it just before leaving! Just like last time, the Mai Tai was delicious, and the snacks that were handed out tasted surprisingly good, perhaps because we were on the boat. There were many Westerners, but there were also Japanese people, and we were able to take pictures with each other's families and enjoy our time together.

曇りで夕日が見れるか心配でしたが、帰り際にちゃんと見れました！前回同様マイタイも美味しく、配られたスナック菓子も船の上のせいか何故かとても美味しく感じました。西洋人の方が多いですが、日本人も居てお互いの家族で写真を取り合ったりして仲良く過ごせました。

From the departure, the explanations, the Mai Tai and champagne service, and the careful adjustment of the mast to ensure the boat could sail steadily were all done excellently, allowing us to relax and focus on chatting and taking photos.

出発から、説明、マイタイ、シャンペンのサービス、船が安定して航行できるようにマストの状態を注意深く調整するなど、最高の仕事ぶりで、私たちは安心して、おしゃべりや写真に集中できました。

This is my third time, and it’s always amazing no matter how many times I go! The fireworks, the ocean, the drinks, and the music in Waikiki. Enjoying a drink while gazing at the night view of Waikiki is truly the best! Since it’s an open bar, the all-you-can-drink option is fantastic!

今年で3回目になりますが、何度乗っても最高にたのです！ワイキキの花火と海とお酒と音楽と。本当にワイキキの夜景を遠目に眺めながらのお酒は最高です！オープンバーなので、飲み放題も最高☆

Had a fabulous time on the fireworks cruise with the guys from Maitai catamaran. This was for my 50th birthday and was the most amazing way to spend it.
The crew where so nice and the drinks where yummy. Great music.
Very reasonable price.
Would highly recommend these guys.
Loved it.

The sunset in Waikiki offers a breathtaking view of the night scenery from the boat, and you can enjoy the fireworks without any obstructions. With light meals and alcohol, I had a great time feeling a bit tipsy among the high-energy passengers and the crew who spoke Japanese. It's also reassuring that there are restrooms on board. If there are many Japanese guests, they provide individual explanations in Japanese, which was very appreciated.

ワイキキのサンセット、夜景が船から一望でき、花火も視界を遮るものが何も無く堪能できます。軽い食事とアルコールでほろ酔い気分でハイテンションな乗客と日本語が通じるクルーのおもてなしでとても良い時間を過ごすことができました。トイレも船内にあるので安心です。日本人が多い場合は、日本語で個別に説明をしてくれるのでそこもありがたかったです。

It's all foreigners, so it feels a bit like an away game! If you can speak English, it might be fun~ And it depends on the weather~ Also, language skills! Communication too!

外人ばっかりで、アウエーな感じ！
英語が出来れば、楽しいかも〜
そして天気次第ですね〜
あと語学力！コミニュケーションも

I arrived just in time for the 5 PM meeting, but the local staff greeted us with smiles. The waves were calm, and it felt great when the boat caught the wind and picked up a bit of speed. The scenery while sipping a Mai Tai on the boat, with the blue sky, the setting sun, and Diamond Head illuminated by the sunset, was truly wonderful.

There were two couples and a family of four, in addition to my own family of three, and everyone else was from various countries. Since we could speak English, we were able to chat with other passengers, which made for a very enjoyable time. There was no sign of poor service just because we were Japanese or because we couldn't speak English.

The staff on the boat were very friendly and helped create a lively atmosphere, making it a lot of fun. While there were no explanations in Japanese, I think even those who don't understand English at all could follow along through the staff's gestures.

I was a bit anxious about how to get to the meeting point, but if you go through the Sheraton's pool and bar, it's right in front of you. If you're unsure, you can show your voucher at the Sheraton front desk and say "Mai Tai Sunset," and they should be able to help you.

17時集合のギリギリ滑り込みになってしまいましたが、現地スタッフも笑顔で対応してくれました。
波も静かで、船が帆を張って風を受けて進むときに少しスピードが出て気持ちが良かったです。青い空、沈んでいく夕日、夕日を受けたダイアモンドヘッドなど、船上でマイタイを飲みながら見る景色は本当に素晴らしかったです。

日本人は自分の家族（3人）以外にカップルで2組とご家族で4人ぐらいで、他は皆さんいろんな国から来ていた人ばかりでした。自分たちは英語が話せたので、ほかの乗客とも話したりできてとても良い時間になりました。日本人だから、英語が話せないからといって、サービスが酷いなどの事も見られませんでした。

船上のスタッフもとても気さくで、その場を盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。日本語での説明などはありませんが、全く英語が分からなくてもスタッフのジェスチャーなどで説明は理解できると思います。

集合場所への行き方が不安でしたが、シェラトンのプールとバーを抜けていくとすぐ目の前にあります。分からなかったら、シェラトンのフロントとかでバウチャー見せて「マイタイ・サンセット」と言えば教えてくれるかと思います。

Superrrr fun will definitely recommend!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We participated with a total of nine relatives. The weather was great, and the sunset over Honolulu from the boat was amazing. There were not many Japanese people, but several military parties were on board, and everyone was having a great time from the start. The boat didn't rock too much, so I didn't get seasick. Next time I come to Honolulu, I would love to go again.

親類総勢９名で参加しました。天気もよく船上から見るホノルルの夕焼けは最高でした。日本人は少なく軍人のパーティが何組か乗船して出発から大乗で楽しんでいました。船はそんなに揺れなくて船酔いはしませんでした。
次回、ホノルルに来たら又、乗りたいです。

On Friday we were lucky enough to enjoy the Friday fireworks boat cruise. It was so easy to book, easy to find the pick up location on the beach and so relaxing! All of the staff were so accommodating; offering us a range of alcoholic and soft drinks and making us feel so comfortable. The music was great too and they took requests! Super relaxing with lots of great photo opportunities and then we stopped at a good location to enjoy the fireworks. Will definitely recommend to anyone and will do again! Thank you- really set our last night in Hawaii up to be the best!

I made a reservation for my mother, who loves hula. The weather was favorable in early April, and it was comfortable at first, but as the sun went down, it became chilly, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The show was of high quality, and I was satisfied to be able to show her authentic hula. This time, I chose the Golden Seat, but since we arrived late, we ended up with seats on the edge, which was disappointing. Next time, I definitely want to reserve the Diamond Seat and see it up close.

今回フラの好きな母のために予約しました。
４月上旬天候にめぐまれ最初快適でしたが、日が落ちると
やはり肌寒く上着を持参すればと後悔しました。
ショーは完成度が高く、本場のフラを見せてあげることができて
満足しました。今回はゴールデンシートにしましたが遅めに到着したため
端の席になり残念でした。次回はぜひダイヤモンドシートで予約し
間近で見たいと思います。

The reception was a bit hard to find, and I had to search for it a little. First, I moved to a spot where I could see the fireworks well and enjoyed a drink (most people had Mai Tais) while watching the fireworks. The wind was calm, and I had a pleasant time. After the fireworks ended, we went sailing out to Diamond Head and circled back to in front of the Sheraton. As we moved away from the lights of Honolulu, the stars became beautifully visible.

受付は少し分かり辛く、ちょっと探してしまいました。
まずは花火が良く見える場所まで移動しドリンク（ほとんどの方がマイタイでした）を頂きながら花火を鑑賞。風も穏やかで気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。花火が終わると、ダイヤモンドヘッド沖までセーリングし、ぐるっと回ってシェラトン前まで戻ります。
ホノルルの光から遠ざかるので星もきれいに見えます。

It was fun, drinks were good. Perfect place to see the fireworks on Waikiki Beach.

Good view and good drinks out on the water . Great time with friends

Fun way to get out of the water after sunset and watch the firework show!

I had a great time. Very scenic tour and great for groups.

This luau show was a bit different from what I've seen before, and as expected from Hilton, it was great! I had a very good seat in the front center. However, since the venue is relatively small, I think the experience would still be quite impressive from any front row seat, not just the center ones.

今まで見たのとは少し違うアレンジされたルアウショーでさすがヒルトン！！
前方中央席でとても良かったです。
ただ、会場が割と狭いので中央席じゃなくても前方席なら迫力も対して変わらないかなと思いました。

This is my second time. I became a repeat visitor just to see Michael. The Polynesian show is also very impressive. It has become one of my favorite activities in Waikiki.

今回で二回目です。マイケル観たさにリピーターになってしまいました。ポリネシアンショーも見応え十分です。ワイキキでの楽しみの一つになりました。

My friends and I had a wonderful time watching the fireworks and listening to dance music. The crew was very nice and filled our drinks very quick. I would recommend this tour for everyone. Also the temperature was perfect !

We were impressed with the boat. Excellent captain. Fun music and we went on a Friday for fireworks! Loved it! Suggest you do it on the Friday or any night during sunset. The sunset happens very quickly keep your camera ready!

There were more Japanese participants than I expected.
Since it wasn't a large ship, there were times when we got splashed by the waves, but in some areas, we didn't get wet.
The sunset was beautiful because the weather was nice, and I could see it very clearly while holding a Mai Tai!
Next time, I would like to participate when I can see the fireworks on Friday.

思っていたより日本人参加者が多かったです。
大型船ではないため波がかかることもありましたが、場所によっては濡れることはありませんでした。
サンセットも天気がよかったため、マイタイ片手にとてもきれいに見れました！！
次回は金曜の花火をみれるときに参加してみたいです。

The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!

お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました！
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です！

The sunset was incredibly beautiful and moving. The rocking was more intense than I expected, and almost all the Japanese passengers were down (laughs). If you're prone to motion sickness, it might be better to skip it. I had a great time, but my wife was on the verge of throwing up. In a way, it became a good memory!

夕日は最高に綺麗で、感動的でした。
揺れは思っているよりも激しく、乗っている日本人はほぼ全員ダウンしていました(笑)
酔いやすい方はやめておいた方が良いかも。
私はすごく楽しかったですが、妻は吐く寸前でした。ある意味良い思い出になりました！

Was a great experience. Picked us up outside our place on the beach (Moana Surfrider). The crew were super hospitable and provided a good atmosphere to enjoy the Friday Night Fireworks. Great spot and cold drinks.
