All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

My fiancee and I had a great time; the crew was very friendly and the Catamaran boat was very nice and clean. I would definetely recomment this trip for anyone who want to see the beautiful Waikiki shores from the ocean perspective.

I participated in the luau show because I wanted to show it to my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. Since we had a small child with us, I chose standard seating, thinking it might be troublesome if the child started to make noise. However, it turned out to be fine since we were seated directly in front. The only downside was that we had to wait a little to get our food after the Golden Circle guests.

The food was good, especially the sushi rolls and roast beef, but the rest was just average. It was fun to see various dances, and the fire dance was particularly impressive. Instead of making noise, the child was actually keeping rhythm with the music.

It was great that we could take commemorative photos with the dancers after the show.

初ハワイの母にルアウショーを見せたくて参加しました。
席は小さい子供がいるので騒ぎ出して迷惑になったら困ると思いスタンダードシートにしました。見づらいかなぁと思っていましたが、正面だったからか何の問題もなかったです。ただ、お料理を取りに行くのはゴールデンサークルシートの方達のアトになるので少し待ちますが。。。
お料理は海苔巻きとローストビーフは美味しかったですが他は普通かな。
色々なダンスを見ることができて楽しかったです。その中でもファイヤーダンスは迫力がありました。子供も騒ぎ出すどころか音楽に合わせてリズムをとっていました。
ショー終了後にダンサーの方々と記念撮影ができたのは良かったです。

My husband & I had a wonderful evening. The food was super delicious. We would like to thank the great chef, the pleasant/efficient servers & their very attentive manager. The show was great & very entertaining ESP. Michael Jackson, & the 2 Elvis impersonators. We'll do it again next time we are in Honolulu. Thank you so much for that excellent night!!! Btw, we're also glad that they gave us our 2 pictures. We will highly recommend this superb activity to our families & friends!

I was able to participate on a nice day. I had previously joined daytime cruises, but this was my first experience with a sunset cruise. It was a bit chilly, but the sea was illuminated by the orange sun, creating a different atmosphere compared to the daytime views. It seemed that not many Asians participated, which added to the feeling of "Ah, this is foreign," and I liked that.

お天気の良い時に参加できました。
今まで日中のクルーズには参加したことがありましたが、サンセットクルーズは初体験。
少し肌寒くて、でも海はオレンジの太陽に照らされて、
日中見ている海の景色とはまた一味違った感じでした。
アジア人はあまり参加していない様で、なんだかそれも、「あぁ外国だなぁ」という感じがして良かったです。

There is a boarding area between the Sheraton and Halekulani, and check-in is done flexibly there.

Both the captain and the crew were lively and helped create a great atmosphere. It didn't feel forced, so we were able to enjoy ourselves too.

They quickly brought us drinks as soon as we ran out, and I felt they were really attentive. I also received some snacks. Everyone was kind, and I really felt their hospitality.

We even saw dolphins along the way.

There was a comment about there being few Japanese people, but when we boarded, there were about three groups.

シェラトンとハレクラニの境に乗り場があり、チェックインもそこで臨機応変にやっています。

キャプテン、クルー共にノリノリで盛り上げてくれました。
ワザとらしくないので、こちらも盛り上がる事ができました。

そして、飲み物もなくなったらすぐに持ってきてくれて、よく見てくれてるなと感じました。
スナックもいくつかもらいました。
みんな優しくて、ホスピタリティーをとても感じました。

途中でイルカも見れました。

日本人が少ないとレスがありましたが、私達が乗った時は３組程いました。

Once we entered, there was a long wait until the show started. Since we went on the day of our arrival, I ended up feeling sleepy towards the end of the show.

We had to go up in turns to get our food, but our seats were towards the back, so we had to wait quite a bit, and there wasn't much to do, which felt like a waste of time.

It might be nice for those who want to enjoy the show leisurely, but considering the quality of the food, I thought it was a bit pricey, even with the strong yen.

入ってから、ショーが始まるまでが長く、到着日に行ったので、ショーの終わりの方は睡くなって、しまいました。
料理も順番に取りに行くのですが、私たちの席は最後の方だったので、かなり待たされ、ずっとする事もなくダラダラで、時間が勿体なかったです。
のんびりショーを見たい人だったらいいかもしれないけど、料理の内容を考えても、円高でもちょっと高いなぁと思いました。

When I came to Hawaii, I thought of the ocean, so I decided to sign up for a tour (even though it was my first time). As we set sail and headed out to sea, the color of the water changed from emerald green to blue. I was so amazed to think that this incredible color was the true color of the ocean. I got quite wet from the waves, but it was a wonderful experience.

ハワイに来たら海ということで（初めてだが）申し込んでみました。出船し沖に出ると、海の色がエメラルドグリーンからブルーに変わり、とても信じられないこの色が、本当の海の色なんだと思うと大感激でした。波で大分濡れましたがすばらしい体験でした。

Last month, I booked this as part of my son's wedding event. Most of the participants were repeat visitors to Hawaii and had already experienced dinner cruises. The bride's wish was for a dinner cruise, so after some deliberation, we decided on this sunset cruise. The boat was small, which might be a bit unfortunate for those who are sensitive to motion, but the open-air breeze was pleasant, and the staff had experience staying in Japan and were very attentive. Next time, I would like to take a cruise for my husband and my anniversary.

先月、息子のウエディングのイベントとして申込みました。
殆どの参加者が、ハワイのリピーターと言う事もあり、ディナークルーズも経験済み。お嫁さんの希望はデナークルーズ。で、頭を抱えた結果決めたのが、こちらのサンセット　クルーズ。船が小さい為、船に弱い方には少しお気の毒でしたが、オープンエアーの風邪が心地よく、スタッフの方も、日本に滞在経験があり、とても気の付くスタッフでした。次回は私と主人のアニバーサリーで乗船したいものです。

I participated with a female friend.
The blue sea and blue sky were beautiful.
It felt great to be bathed in the sea breeze.
Seeing the city of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the ocean was also wonderful.
My friend was happy as well.

友人と女性同士２人で参加しました

友人も喜んでいました

As the reviews mentioned, it was difficult to find the reception area. While I was looking for a blue beach umbrella, it turned out to be a brown palm umbrella. Once I got out to the sea, the waves were bigger than I expected, making it fun like surfing. You get quite wet, so it's a good idea to bring a towel or something. I heard that if you're lucky, you can see dolphins and sea turtles; unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins, but I did see a swimming sea turtle. The cocktail made with dark rum and peach juice was a generous portion; the first one was $8, and refills were $3, if I remember correctly. It was very easy to drink and delicious!

クチコミ通り、受付の場所は見つけにくかったです。
青いビーチパラソルを探してたら、今は茶色いシュロのパラソルでした。
沖へ出ると、思ってた以上に波が大きくて波乗りしてるみたいで楽しいです。
盛大に濡れますのでタオルなど持っていった方がいいですね。
運が良ければイルカやウミガメが見れるとの事で、残念ながらイルカには会えなかったのですが、泳いでいるウミガメは見れました。
ダークラムをピーチジュースで割ったカクテルはたっぷりの量で最初の１杯は８ドル、おかわりは３ドルって言ってたと思います。とても飲みやすくて美味しかった！

This was our second time on the cruise and we loved it more this time. The staff are very nice and helpful. Thanks for a great time.

This was our family's first trip to Hawaii. We participated thinking we could enjoy authentic hula and food. As expected, the powerful and graceful movements of the wahine and the muscular dances of the kane were truly wonderful. Our family, while doing hula, learned a lot.

The food was very delicious. As expected from Hilton!! However, my youngest daughter, who just lost two front teeth during this trip, struggled with her favorite corn...

今回初めての家族でのハワイ旅行でした。本場のフラと食事を堪能できると思い参加しました。予想通り迫力があるし体もしなやかなワヒネ、マッチョ体型のカネの踊りは本当に素晴らしかった。　フラをしている私たち家族はとてもいい勉強になりました。

食事の方はとてもおいしかったです。さすがヒルトン！！
ただ、この旅行中に前歯二本抜けたばかりの次女は大好きなコーンに四苦八苦。。。

I'm not big on touristy activities, but I was thoroughly surprised at how fun this sunset cruise was. My 2 daughters (8 and 5) both had a blast. Being out in the open waters does wonders... next time I'm in Hawaii, I know what we're doing again.

This is the best experience on the catamaran. We enjoyed a lot. This is more than worth the price we paid for. The drinks were awesome and all together a great experience event.

Was a nice time. The mixed drink that was served had too much sugar. I think it is best to stick with wine or beers, or at least have a drink that is more rich with booze and not so sweet.

This is my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I've always wanted to ride on this catamaran but couldn't participate because it was fully booked. I finally got to join this time.

The high demand is likely due to the cost and the fact that it's a two-and-a-half-hour tour, making it accessible even for those not staying for a long period.

Even if you don't understand English at all, you can kind of figure things out! For example, you learn not to sit in the blue areas, to sit on the net when departing, and how to order drinks... I understood most of it.

I'm just mimicking what the foreigners do, but anyway, it's a lot of fun. It really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii! The captain, who looked like a pirate, and the crew were quite friendly and cool. My wife also got to take a picture with them.

ハワイ旅行は、5回目なのですが、今までこのカタマランに乗りたくて申込してきましたが、満員で参加できていませんでした。ようやく参加できました。
参加希望の多さは、コスト的なこともそうですが、約2時間半のツアーであることもその理由かと思います。長期間の滞在でなくとも参加できます。
英語が全く分からなくとも、なんとなく解かってしまいますね！青色の場所には座らないでとか、出航の時には網の上に座ってくれとか、飲み物の注文は、・・・・大体わかりました。
外人の見よう見まねなのですが・・・
とにかく楽しめます。ハワイに来たのだと自分に確認させることができますよ！
海賊みたいな図体の艇長さんと乗組員は、結構親切で恰好よかったです。わが女房も一緒に写真に撮ってもらいました。

The instructions and directions to the location where we could park was not specific for those of us who had never been in the area before (we paid $26 to park). Our emailed confirmation told us to check in at 6:45pm and the catamaran would set sail at 7pm. Our group was first to arrive with plenty of time for checking in. Our catamaran did not arrive to pick us up until 7:15pm and it took another 10 minutes after that to get us all checked in to board. Once onboard, we realized the mai tais were weak so we drank beer instead. This was a very slow-paced cruise. We would like to come back but are more likely to experience a different catamaran cruise than this one.

The performance was wonderful. Since I chose the premium seats, I was able to enjoy it well, and I could eat at the buffet without waiting. However... I felt like something was missing, and upon reflection, it was that I couldn't participate, just watching. When I came to Hawaii before, during the sunset cruise, there was dancing right in front of me, and jumping in to participate was so much fun.

パフォーマンスは素晴らしかったです。プレミアムシートにしたのでよく鑑賞できたしビュッフェも待たされずに食べることができました。でも。。。何か物足りない感じがして、よく考えたら観ているだけで参加できなかったことだと。以前ハワイに来たとき、サンセット・クルーズでは目の前でのダンスがあり、飛び入り参加がとても楽しかったので。

First of all, even though the meeting place was our hotel, it took a while for the guide to be identified. It seems that the dancer who was performing was the guide. We saw other tourists talking to that dancer and being taken somewhere, so we decided to try asking them too, and we were able to arrive safely.

Then, there was a long line to the venue, and it took a lot of time before we could take our seats. Since we had reserved Golden Circle seats, we sat in the front row, and those in the Golden Circle were prioritized for food, so we could start eating quickly. However, those in the regular seats seemed to go for food more than 30 minutes later, so I definitely recommend reserving Golden Circle seats.

Also, when ordering beer, it seems that Japanese people are often perceived as looking younger, so they checked our age. In our case, they didn't ask for a passport, but if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring an ID that shows your age.

The show featured dancers changing outfits one after another, and we got to see various dances. Personally, I found the solo dance of a little girl to be incredibly cute!

まず、集合場所が自分たちの宿泊ホテルだったにも関わらず、案内人が判明するまで時間がかかりました(A；´･ω･)
ダンスパフォーマンスをしていたダンサーさんが案内人だったみたいですｗ
他の観光客らしき人たちが、そのダンサーさんに声をかけてどこかに連れて行かれるのを見て、試しに声をかけると、私たちも無事、到着できた感じです。

そして会場まで長蛇の列で、席につくまでとても時間がかかりました。
ゴールデンサークル席を予約していたので、一番前の席に座り、ゴールデンは食事を取りに行くのも優先なので、早く食べ始めることができましたが、普通席の方々は30分以上も後に食事を取りに行くかんじなので、ぜひゴールデンサークル席を予約されることをお勧めします☆

あとはビール注文時に、やはり日本人は若く見られるらしく年齢を確認されたので(20代後半の私)、私たちの場合はパスポート提示までは求められませんでしたが、心配な方は年齢がわかる身分証を持って行かれたほうが良いかと思います。

ショーはダンサーさん達が次から次へと着替え、色々なダンスを見ることができました☆
個人的に小さな女の子のソロダンスが可愛くて仕方なかったです+.(o´∀｀o).+

The show was in English, so I thought it would be more enjoyable if I understood the language, but the show itself was powerful and wonderful, so I was glad to participate. The food was decent, and it was interesting to have Hawaiian food as well. During the show, people celebrating their birthdays or those visiting for their honeymoon were brought to the front to be celebrated, which I think made for great memories. However, the Japanese honeymoon couple seemed a bit shy while dancing together to the live band.

ショーは英語なので、言葉が分かるともっと楽しめると思いましたが、ショー自体が迫力があってすばらしいので、参加して良かった。食事もまあまあで、ハワイアンフードもありめずらしかった。ショーの中で今日が誕生日の人や今回ハネムーンで訪れている人など特別な人が前にでてみんなにお祝いされるのも、いい思い出になると思いました。ただ、日本人のハネムーンカップルは生バンドに合わせて抱き合いながらのダンスはちょっとはずかしそうでしたよ。

I participated with a group of nine, including my friend's family. The singing, hula dancing, and fire dancing were impressive, and the children had a great time. I created wonderful memories with my friends.

友人家族と9名で参加しました。歌やフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、迫力があり子供達もとても楽しんでいました。
友人との良い思い出ができました。

On the last day of our Golden Week trip, which was a Friday, we decided to participate in this highly rated activity of watching fireworks from a boat. After two hours, witnessing the ten-minute fireworks display was indeed a wonderful experience! However, while the food was tasty, I became anxious about whether I could eat much due to the boat's rocking for two hours (worried about seasickness). In the end, no one in my family could use the free drink tickets (two drinks each), and we barely managed to sip the first drink served.

Moreover, it was extremely cold. To protect my grandmother from the cold, we huddled together on the deck. Thankfully, we managed to avoid catching a cold until today, so it remains a good memory. The staff were cheerful and attentive to us, but considering all of this, I have to rate it accordingly.

Make sure to dress warmly if you go. I also recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. Additionally, since the restroom is located at the bottom of the boat, I think it's best to avoid going to the restroom while on board to prevent seasickness. The sunset, the bright moon, and the view of Diamond Head illuminated by it were all wonderful, but I think one hour would have been sufficient.

GW旅行の最終日、金曜日だった為、花火を船上で見上げるのも一興かもね、と、皆さんの評価も高かった本アクティビティに参加しました。
2時間の末に見上げた10分の花火の饗宴を見上げたのはやはり素晴らしい経験でした！
が、食事は味はいいのですが、やはり食べると、2時間もつか（船酔いしてしまうのでは？）と不安になるくらい揺れるため、あまり食べることができず。
飲み物のフリーチケット（各２杯）は、結局家族のだれも使えず、最初のサービスの一杯に口をつけるのが精いっぱいでした。
そして、何より、超・寒かった。
祖母を寒さから守るため、身を寄せ合って甲板に座り、、結局今日まで風邪をひかないで済んだので、良い思い出ではありますが。
スタッフの皆さんは陽気で楽しく、我々にも大変気を使ってくださったのですが、、、そんなこんなで評価の星数です。
しっかり暖かい恰好をしていってください。
さらに、酔い止めは、しっかり飲んで参加をお勧めします。
また、船のトイレは船底にあるため、船上でトイレに行くのも、酔うのを避けるには、やめたほうがよいかと思います。
サンセットも、月が明るくなる様子もそれに照らし出されるダイヤモンドヘッドも素晴らしかったけど、１時間でいいです。。

On the last day, I made a reservation for the shuttle bus to the airport, which was supposed to pick me up at 3:00 PM, right on the day of my return.

The voucher indicated a departure at 10:30, so I arrived 15 minutes early, but it seems the daily departure is at 11:00. I was told to come back at 10:45, and in the end, the departure was at 11:15, so I had to wait quite a bit.

Still, the hour and a half boat trip was very pleasant, and it was a meaningful time to say goodbye to Hawaii on my last day.

Various yachts were sailing around, but this one took us further out and was faster, which made it a lot of fun.

Afterward, I washed my hands and feet at the water station by the hotel pool and quickly changed in the restroom on the first floor of the hotel.

Since I felt a bit sticky from the seawater, I recommend preparing a change of clothes in a small eco bag for the day of your return.

最終日。空港までのシャトルバスが15時に迎えに来るという、まさに帰国する日に予約をしました。

バウチャー券に10:30出航とあり15分前に行きましたが、毎日11:00出航のようで10:45に来てと言われ、結局11:15の出航で、だいぶ待ちぼうけをしました。

それでも1時間半の船旅は、とても気持ちが良く☆、ハワイにお別れをする最終日にとても相応しい☆、有意義な時間を過ごせました☆☆☆

色々なヨットが周りを走っていましたが、こちらのほうがより遠くへ行ってくれて、スピードもあって、とても楽しかったです♪

終わったあとは宿泊ホテルのプールに設置されている水道で手足を洗い、ホテル1階にあるトイレでささっと着替えをしました。

やっぱり海水で少しだけベタついたので、帰国日の際は、着替えをエコバックなどに小さく用意しておくことをおすすめします。

It may have been a coincidence, but there were no other Japanese people besides us among the staff and passengers. It was mostly young Americans, which was very nice. The catamaran was also wonderful.

たまたまかもしれないが、受付も乗客も我々以外に日本人はいなかった。　ヤングアメリカンばかりで、大変良かった。
カタマランも素晴らしい。

It's a boat that feels like a fish without substance, but it allows you to feel close to the sea, which is great. It's a fun experience that you don't get with larger boats.

身のない魚のような船ですが、
海を身近に感じれてイーです。
大きな船にはない楽しさですね。

It was simply amazing. This was the best part of the tour. The wind was quite strong and the waves were high, so we ended up soaking wet as if we had taken a shower, but that made it even more fun. My husband and I are already talking about participating again the next time we go to Hawaii. Despite the huge waves, I didn't feel seasick at all, which was incredibly enjoyable. The tour lasted about two hours and was reasonably priced, so I signed up with a casual mindset, but it turned out to be a great decision. On the way back to Waikiki Beach, we encountered sea turtles twice, which really boosted our excitement. When the staff threw out some food, a lot of fish came over, and that was great too. I highly recommend it.

とにかく面白いの一言です。
今回のツアーの中では最高でした。
風が結構あって波も高かったのでまるでシャワーをあびたようにびしょぬれ状態でしたが、そこがまた楽しくて今度ハワイに行った時も絶対に参加しようと主人と話しています。
あんなにすごい波なのに船に酔うという事が楽しすぎて全くありません。
時間も２時間位だしお値段も安いのでついでの様な気持ちで申し込んだツアーでしたが、大正解でした。
ワイキキの浜へ戻る時にウミガメと2回遭遇してまたテンションが上がりました。
スタッフの方が餌をまいたら沢山お魚が寄ってきてそれも良かったですよ。
かなりお勧めです。

I went to a luau show. I wasn't expecting much, as I didn't plan to go all the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I didn't understand the language, it felt like everyone could participate. The final fire dance was breathtaking. The dancers looked like they were having so much fun, which made it enjoyable for us too.

The meeting point was a bit hard to find, and the guidance wasn't sufficient, so I was a bit confused. I paid extra for good seats, but those who got in early were able to sit in the front. To get in early, you should stay a bit away on the Ala Moana side rather than at the meeting point. I think the guidance was provided early.

ルアウショーに行ってきました。
あまり期待していなかったのですけど、

I was very satisfied with the 90-minute cruise while enjoying the view of Waikiki Beach. I was able to relax and forget about time.

９０分のワイキキビーチを眺めながらのクルージングに大満足。
時間を忘れながらのんびり出来ました。

I applied for the Golden Circle Premium, but I was very disappointed as my seat was in a backstage-like area. I had high expectations for my first luau show. I arrived early, but the ticket exchange was not prioritized, and there were people who already had tickets while others were waiting in line, which was disappointing due to the lack of guidance. It felt like the seating was grouped by foreigners and Japanese. The food was delicious.

ゴールデンサークルプレミアムに申し込んだのですがせきが舞台裏のようなところでとても残念でした。初めてのルアウショーで期待をしていたのですが。早くから行っていたのですがチケットの交換が優先ではなく順番だった人もいればもうすでに持っている人がいたりで案内もなくがっかりでした。席が外国人と日本人とにグループ分けがしてあったかんじでした。料理は美味しかったです。
