All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

The first thing I got confused about was the description of the location, "there are stairs beyond the pool at Sheraton Waikiki." When I arrived, there were no participants for the tour, and I was flustered! In fact, there were two conditions written on the paper! For those going on the tour, please remember this well! The pool at Sheraton Waikiki is not the one with the waterslide; it is the pool that is for people aged 16 and over! So please be careful!

私はまず迷ったのは、「シェラトンワイキキのプールの先に階段があって」という場所説明ですね。行ってもツアーに参加する人がいなくてあたふた❗️実は紙に書いてある条件のところは２つあったのです‼️ツアーに行く方はよーく覚えておいてください！シェラトンワイキキのプールというのはウォータースライダーがあるプールではなくて、１６才以上の人が入れるプールのことです‼️
なので気をつけて‼️

The title is a bit confusing ... sunset and fireworks cruise ... I thought I was ordering the fireworks cruise but in fact it was a sunset booze cruise. Weather wasn’t great but that’s not their fault. The 5:30 cruise is the sunset cruise. 1 1/2 hours all you can drink MaiTais and champagne. Friday night the yaucht club races, so that was pretty cool to watch. When we got off the boat we walked down the beach and actually had a really good view of the fireworks so it all worked out.

I made a reservation in Japan to take home the best memories on my last night in Hawaii. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't perfectly clear, which brought down the mood a bit. However, we were the only Japanese people there, and everyone else was foreign! The atmosphere was lively, and both the captain and the bartender (a woman) were very cheerful, which made us feel really happy.

While the sunset can be affected by the weather, the staff knew how to make the experience enjoyable beyond that. Watching the night view of Waikiki from the ocean and soaking in the atmosphere, I had four Mai Tais and felt absolutely wonderful.

ハワイ最後の夜に最高の思い出を持って帰ろうと日本で予約して行きました。
あいにく天気は快晴とはいかずややテンション下げ模様でした。
しかし日本人んは我々のみで、すべて外国の方！テンションもアゲアゲで船長＆バーテンダー（女性）もノリがよく気分はとてもハッピーになりました。
サンセットという意味では天気には左右されますが、それ以上にどう楽しませるかわかっているスタッフでした。
沖から見るワイキキの夜景や雰囲気にのせられ、マイタイも４杯頂き最高に気持ちよかったです。

It wasn't sunny, but I was able to see dolphins, and it was fun. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again.

晴天ではありませんでしたが、イルカも見ることができ、
楽しかったです。機会があれば、また参加したいと思います。

I also booked through VELTRA, just like at Sandbar. I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from a different perspective while getting splashed by the waves out at sea. There was a nice white wine with a pleasant barrel aroma that I really liked, and I had a luxurious time. Thank you very much!

サンドバーと同じくVELTRAさんでお願いしました。沖で波のしぶきをかぶったり普段見ている方向からのワイキキ前景を眺める事ができました。ワインも結構好みの樽香のする白ワインがあり贅沢な時を過ごすことができました。有難うございました！

Enjoyed the evening from start to finish - loved the meet and greet, the food was great and the selection unbelievable. The entertainment at the dinner and the participation by those having dinner created a happy and enjoyable experience. Following dinner the meet and photo session with Katie got everyone off to a great start for the show. I am a mad Elvis fan and an Australian who has been to Graceland 5 times, I had photos taken with Elvis after the show and told him that I have seen many Elvis impersonators and he is the best by far. I loved the show and the added input of the Beach Boys who I also love. The added attraction of the films behind the entertainers was fantastic. The backing band also were tops and the Hawaiian dancers right up there with the best.

My personal favorite part of the show - Elvis for sure - he blew me away and the way he moved about the audience during the songs made sure everyone had a great time. Will make sure during our next visit I and my colleagues will attend the show again!

Loved the dinner and show from start to finish! All of the performers were interactive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for all ages!

My family and I had an exciting time on this cruise. We got to mingle with people, laugh, talk, drink and the best part- dance while cruising on water. We had an awesome time and will definitely be cruising the Maitai Catamaran again!!!

Perfect night for a cruise. Our second voyage of the day on the Holokai. Rich and Michelle were excellent hosts and made everyone on board feel welcome. Lots of fun and laughter. Made us feel extra special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Home now and still smiling Michelle :D. Would highly recommend.

Great crew and sail. Wonderful view of Diamond Head. Even saw a few Sea Turtles.

This Hawaii travel was our 4th visit and 1st to Oahu, we actually had multiple times of Luau at the Maui, Big Island, Kauai and even in the Oahu.
I can definitely vote Rock-a-Hura show was one of our best show out of what we experienced many Luau show.
We took show + Luau dinner, surprising was hura dancers at the Luau are all real dancers of main rock-a-hura show, they are very kind and friendly during our Luau dinner, I even still remember our table host whose name is Megan, she was also performed in the main show. Every table had assigned a dancer as host and they were taking care of all dinner process and took picture together, isn't it amazing?
Main show also was wonderful, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc.. all rockers were amazing as well as hura dancers who's already known during Luau dinner.
I strongly recommend this show if you are staying at the Oahu.

This is my second time participating after a year. Last time, I only attended the show, so this was my first experience with the buffet. The staff were very kind, dancing close by, which made the meal enjoyable. And to my surprise, these staff members were also performers in the show! It felt very personal, and the fun was doubled. The content of the show was completely different from a year ago, making it feel fresh, and everyone's skill level was high. I definitely want to see it again when I come to Hawaii.

1年ぶり、２回目の参加です。
前回はショーのみだったので、ビュッフェ付きは初めてでしたが、
スタッフの方達がとても親切で、身近で踊ってくれたりと楽しく食事をすることが出来ました。
そしてなんと、このスタッフ達がショーの出演者でビックリ！
とっても身近に感じられて、楽しさも倍増しました。
ショーの内容も１年前とは全然変わっていて新鮮だったし、皆さんの技術力も高く、ハワイに来た際は又是非観たいと思いました。

Before the show, we had dinner at a buffet-style restaurant on the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center's fourth floor. We were first offered drinks, and we could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Regardless of our choice, the drinks were served in Hawaiian-style cocktail glasses. The meal included a whole roasted pig, beef, salads, bread, desserts, and coffee, leaving us completely full. The dinner venue also featured hula performances and Hawaiian music, making the dining experience enjoyable. Finally, we entered the show venue and took our seats. The show was not only filled with impersonators of Elvis and Michael but also included hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to see it again!

ショーの前に食事でした。ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターの４階のテラスみたいなところでブッフェ形式のディナーを頂きました。最初にドリンクサービスがあり、アルコール入りかノンアルコールかを選べました。どちらを選んでもハワイらしいカクテルグラスででてきました。食事は豚の丸焼きのほかビーフやサラダやパン、デザートやコーヒーまでありお腹いっぱいになりました。ディナー会場でもフラやハワイアンの曲の演奏もあり食事中も楽しめました。いよいよショー会場に入り席に着きます。ショーはプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーだけでなくフラダンスありタヒチアンダンスありファイアーダンスありの盛沢山でとっても楽しめました。また観たいと思います！

I think it's the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful sea of Waikiki.

I couldn't see any dolphins, but I was able to encounter some whales. The staff on the boat were very friendly, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter throughout the trip.

However, the boat can be quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. Thank you for a very enjoyable journey!

ワイキキの美しい海を堪能するのに最適だと思います。

イルカは見れなかったけれど、クジラには遭遇することができました。
船のスタッフさん達もとても感じの良い方々で、終始笑いの絶えない雰囲気で素敵な時間を過ごせます。

ただ、揺れが激しいので船酔いしやすい方は注意が必要です。
とても楽しい旅をありがとうございました！

I applied with a light heart, wanting to see a show that feels Hawaiian. The buffet food might not be suitable for those who dislike greasy dishes, but there was plenty of delicious meat and fish. It might be difficult to go back for more food due to the show and seating arrangements, but I think one plate will be satisfying.

As for the show, I enjoyed both traditional Hawaiian hula and fire dancing, as well as a rock show, and I was very satisfied with the ample time given. The cast members even came up to the second-floor seats during the show, so for those who want to shake hands, I recommend moving early after the buffet to secure seats in the front row or on the aisle.

By the way, if I were to go again, I think I would prefer a plan without the buffet.

なにかハワイらしいショーも観てみたいなと、軽い気持ちで申込みました。
ビュッフェの料理は、脂っこいのが苦手な人には向かないかもしれませんが、肉や魚の料理がたっぷりで美味しかったです。ショーや席の都合で、料理を何度も取りに行くのは難しいかもしれませんが、1皿でも満足できると思います。
ショーの方は、ハワイらしいフラやファイヤーダンスとロックショーの両方が楽しめ、時間もたっぷりで満足でした。
途中でショーのキャストさんが2階席まで来てくれたりもするので、握手などしたい方は、ビュッフェのあとは早めに移動し、最前列や通路側の席を確保すると良いと思います。
ちなみに、もし次回行くとしたらビュッフェ無しのプランでいいかな、とは思います。

We booked this tour because we wanted to see the sunset and beautiful scenery on our honeymoon. Since we were staying at Outrigger Reef, it was very convenient after departure and upon arrival.

However, it was indeed the rainy season. There were a lot of clouds, and we couldn't see the sunset. Additionally, being on a small boat was quite rocky. I felt nauseous and could hardly see the scenery.

Drinks are free, but I recommend not having too much alcohol. Also, it gets very cold, so I suggest bringing a jacket (I brought a down jacket).

There were only three Japanese people, including us, so it felt like an overseas club atmosphere, but that was fun in its own way, so I rated it a 3.

If you go during a time with better scenery, it might be more enjoyable.

今回は新婚旅行で来たため、サンセットが見たい、綺麗な景色が見たいとこのツアーを予約しました。
アウトリガーリーフに泊まっていたため、出発後到着後はとても便利でした。

しかし、さすがの雨季。
雲はたくさんあるし、サンセットは見れませんでした。それに加え、さすが小型船。揺れがとにかくすごい。気持ち悪くなってしまい、景色もほぼ見れませんでした。

飲み物は無料ですが、お酒をあまりとられないことをおすすめします。また、とても寒いので上着を持っていくことをおすすめします。(わたしはダウンを持参しました。)

日本人はわたしたちを含め三人しかおらず、海外のクラブのような雰囲気でしたが、それはそれで楽しかったので、評価としては３にしました。

景色がもっとよい時期に乗ると、気持ちいいかもしれません。

The night started off with hula dancing, and then transitioned into dining and then the show. It's only being honest when I say the food was a disappointing. I guess I expected it to be a little more foreign. It tasted great and me and my mom both got more than enough. The hosts were extremely original and open and encouraging to conversation. The girls were gorgeous and so attentive. There was only one guy host, Zack and he was really considerate, High energy and fun. The show definitely climaxes. It was so exciting. All of the performers looked happy to be there and we're putting themselves into it. It's obvious that alot of effort went into the choreography, set up and music. I loved that the singing was live and the VOICES!! Wow. Micheal Jackson, Katy Perry, Elvis in mpersonations were more than exceptional.

I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.

At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.

The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.

If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.

The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.

　ゴールデンシート＜前方席確約＞で参加しました。席も良かったですし，ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので，この席にして良かったと思います。

　会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので，着席するまでに長い行列ができます。

　スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが，チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は，ショーの最後の方で，5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。

　1時間近く待つのが嫌なら，18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。

　ショーは，ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて，楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが，英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。

　

The meeting time was 7 PM. I got lost and was about 10 minutes late, which made me anxious. However, check-in actually started around 7:20 PM, so I was able to participate without any issues. The Hilton fireworks began right after departure and ended quickly, so afterward, we just enjoyed the distant night views and drinks. There was a wide variety of beverages, so I think everyone can enjoy it. There are also restrooms, which is reassuring. When I participated, there was one other group of Japanese people. There were also families with children. All the explanations were in English, but I think it should be fine.

集合時間は19時。迷ってしまい10分ほど遅れたので焦りました。が、実際のところチェックインは19時20分くらいからスタート。問題なく参加できました。ヒルトンの花火は出航後すぐに始まって、すぐに終わってしまうので、その後はひたすら遠くの夜景とお酒を楽しむ感じ。飲み物の種類は豊富だったので、どなたでも楽しめると思います。トイレもあるので安心です。私が参加した時は日本人があともうひと組いたかな。お子さん連れの方もいました。説明等、全て英語のみでしたが大丈夫だと思います。

What a great evening activity! Staff was great! Definitely recommend

The surroundings are filled with people from various countries, making it a great place for international交流, and the scenery is amazing, so I want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii!

周りは色々な国の方たちで、国際交流も楽しめるし、景色も最高なので次ハワイ行くときもまたやりたいです！

I boarded the yacht with five colleagues from work. We set off on a catamaran that can accommodate about 30 to 40 people. Among the nearly full passengers, we were the only Japanese. The crew consisted of a service-oriented captain and a seemingly carefree young man.

After departing, we headed towards Diamond Head with Waikiki Beach on our left under the strong sunlight. Up to that point, it felt like a normal boat ride, but everything changed after passing Diamond Head. The strong winds created larger swells, and the yacht was bouncing around like a leaf. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), we were positioned at the bow and could barely hold on to the railing to avoid being thrown off.

It was written that we might get splashed with ocean spray, but it turned into an ocean shower, and we were completely soaked. However, everyone on board was smiling. The carefree young man even took off his T-shirt and, amidst the rough waves, raised the sails and steered the yacht, making everyone exclaim, "So cool!"

On the way back, we enjoyed a slightly romantic atmosphere while watching the sunset. This was the most enjoyable activity of our trip to Hawaii.

勤務先の仲間と5人で乗船しました。
30～40名程度が乗船できる双胴型ヨットに乗り込み出発。
ほぼ満員の乗船者のうち、日本人は我々のみでした。
クルーは、サービス精神旺盛なキャプテンとチャラそうな若者一名。
出航後、しばらくは強い日差しの中ワイキキビーチを左手に、ダイアモンドヘッド方向へ進みます。
そこまでは普通のボート感覚でしたが、ダイアモンドヘッドを過ぎてからは状況が一変。
折からの強めの風を受けてうねりが大きくなり、ヨットは木の葉状態。
運悪く（良く？）舳先に陣取っていた我々は、振り落とされないように手摺にしがみついているのがやっとでした。
オーシャンスプレーを浴びるかもしれないと書いてありましたが、オーシャンシャワー状態でずぶ濡れ。でも、乗船していた全員が笑顔で溢れていました。
チャラそうな若者も、Ｔシャツを脱ぎ、荒波の中でセールを張り、操る姿を見て、全員が「カッコいい！」
帰りは、夕陽を見ながら少しロマンティックな雰囲気も。
今回のハワイで一番楽しいアクティビティでした。

The weather was nice, and I was able to see a sunset that was much more beautiful than from the beach! The original cocktails were delicious too. ☺︎ We went around the back of Diamond Head and watched the sunset while heading back, but the waves were quite strong on the way to Diamond Head, so I didn't have the chance to enjoy my drink or take photos. It might be the season, but it got colder than I expected, so I recommend bringing a light jacket. As mentioned in the reviews, there were few Japanese participants, but that allowed me to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere! I would love to join again someday. ☺︎

天気が良く、ビーチから見るより何倍も素敵なサンセットを見ることができました！オリジナルカクテルも美味しかったです☺︎
ダイアモンドヘッドの裏の方へ回り、引き返しながらサンセットを見る感じだったのですが、ダイアモンドヘッド方面へ向かう途中波が激しく、ドリンクをゆっくり飲んだり写真を撮る余裕はありませんでした。また時期的になのかも知れないですが、思っていた以上に冷えた為羽織ものを持って行かれることを推奨します。
口コミにもあった通り日本人の参加者は少ないですが、その分ハワイの雰囲気を存分に味わうことができました！いつかまた参加させて頂きます☺︎

Rock-a-hula was awesome! The waitress were very helpful and friendly. During the dinner they entertained us with singing and dancing. The food was great and there were a good selection to choose from. Megan, the waitress was very easy to talk to and did a great job during her performance. All the performers did a great job impersonating each artist. The guy who was doing the fire performance did a awesome job, I thought that was very impressive and entertaining. After all the performance we were able to actually meet and take pictures with the them. My wife and I had a great time during the Rock-a-hula event, I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends as something to experience.

We enjoyed our meal on the terrace, and the roast beef and whole roasted pig were delicious. During the meal, we were entertained with hula dancing and ukulele music. After the meal, we entered the venue, and even though they were impersonators, the quality was so high that it felt like we were watching the real thing. The performers were very engaging, coming down to the floor to interact with the guests, and we got to enjoy songs like Elvis, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, and "Over the Rainbow," while also learning about the history of Hawaii. They provided entertainment from the meal to the show without missing a beat. This is a must-do. I will definitely book this again for my next trip to Hawaii!

食事はテラスで頂き、ローストビーフや豚の丸焼きなど、おいしかったです。食事中はフラダンスやウクレレで食事中も楽しませて頂きました。食事後に会場内に入り、そっくりさんと言えども、その質の高さは、本物をみているような錯覚すら覚えました。サービス精神旺盛でフロアに降りてきて、客と触れ合い、エルビス、マイケルジャクソン、Katy Perry 、Over the rainbowなどを聞きながらのハワイの歴史にも触れさせて頂きました。食事時からショーまで余すことなく楽しませてくれます。これは、一押しです。次のハワイの時も申し込みます！

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our show and dinner. Meagan was our favorite waitress she was there at dinner and she participated in the show. She was friendly and pretty. They included artist that included Katy Perry, Micheal Jackson, and Elvis. The artist did good impersonations. The dinner included a choice of pork, chicken, vegetables, starches and a wide variety and foods. The dessert choices included brownies and ice cream. I felt full for days on end. They gave us drink choices. My favorite was Micheal Jackson he was able to sing really well and he looked like he could actually be the Old Micheal.

It was absolutely amazing.
It was a great way to wrap up our graduation trip with friends on the last day.
Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy that day, but the pleasant atmosphere and the fun of the staff made me forget about that.
I definitely want to use this place again!

とにかく最高でした。
友達との卒業旅行最終日に、良い締めくくりになりました。
あいにくその日は曇り気味でしたが、そんなことは気にならないくらいの気持ちよさと、スタッフさんの楽しさでした。
是非また利用したいです！

The rock a hula was an amazing show. Everyone in the cast was nice and very friendly. Their performance was outstanding. They were good singers and impersonators of the artists. The food was okay, but the service and entertainment was outstanding. This show is good entertainment for all ages. The time and set up was great. I would strongly recommend this show to anyone visiting the waikiki area.

our 2nd time..would definitely go again
but preferred the Elvis we seen 3yrs ago

We had a fantastic time. The crew were outstanding, very friendly and made the trip a lot of fun. They were approachable and took time to answer any questions we had.
Pretty close to being the highlight of our trip.
Would definitely do it again.
