All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

My sister and I booked this event to close our Hawaiian vacation. From the time we checked in to the time we walked off the boat, we enjoyed the friendliness of the staff working the event. Ian was a charismatic captain, and Alex was a very friendly bartender! Loved that this was a casual, barefoot experience. The views were great! Would absolutely recommend this event to friends and family.

Rock A Hula was a great show for me and my friends! There was a lot of music and fire dancing, and enjoyable songs to sing along with from Michael Jackson and other old classics. We all got a free drink from our purchase which made the show even more fun. The food and service was excellent was well. We came all the way from San Francisco and we were glad to have heard about this show. We also got to see backstage which was very interesting. Veltra helped me with deciding on my purchase so I highly recommend using this site too for the future!

A really enjoyable evening - even though the weather was awful! But you can't help that!
A great view of the Fireworks and the lights along Waikiki - awesome to view a different perspective!
Super friendly staff
Plenty of drinks - was a little worried at first - I was traveling with my daughter - there was a Hen's night and a Stag night on board - thought I may have booked the wrong type of trip - a booze boat - I was really relieved - everyone was having a great time, without being stupid!
Would highly recommend this activity - it was one of our hi lights!

As others have mentioned, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese, and most of the customers were English speakers. However, once you set sail, language doesn't matter. The pleasant breeze and the sunset scenery, along with the lively American atmosphere, allow you to have fun without worrying about the language barrier.

The snacks provided are just bags of chips, but drinks are all-you-can-drink. Also, you might wonder if there really is a restroom, but if you open a manhole-like cover, you'll find one. While I was inside, a drunk person playfully kept banging on the ceiling, but it was a fun moment.

他の方も書いていますが、スタッフに日本語を話せる方はいませんでしたし、お客さんも英語の方が過半でした。しかし、出航してしまえば言葉は関係ありません。気持ちの良い風とサンセットの風景。そして陽気なアメリカンの騒ぎっぷりで、言葉を気にせずに楽しく盛り上がれます。
おつまみはポテチの袋が配られるだけですが、飲み放題です。
また、トイレは本当にあるのか？という感じですが、マンホールみたいな蓋を開けるとトイレがあります。
入っていたら、酔っ払いにふざけて天井を叩かれまくりましたが、楽しいひと時でした。

We were the only Japanese people there, but once the drinks started flowing in the second half, we were able to have a great time regardless of nationality! Even though we couldn't understand the language, we took photos with the foreign ladies and interacted with the handsome crew. It was a lot of fun.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the elegant sunset and night views. It was colder in November than I expected, so a thicker jacket was necessary. I recommend wearing clothes that can be rolled up or shorter ones, as there is a possibility of getting wet when boarding.

日本人は私達だけでしたが、後半お酒も入ってくると国籍関係なく盛り上がれました！
言葉はわからなくても外人のお姉さん達と写真撮ったり、イケメンクルーにかまってもらったり。楽しかったです。
優雅に夕陽や夜景をみれてステキな時間でした。
１１月思ったより寒かったので厚めの上着必要でした。乗り込む時に濡れる可能性があるので、たくし上げられる服か、短めを履くことをお勧めします。

The sunset sailing while gently swaying with the waves was amazing! The drinks were all-you-can-drink, making it a comfortable experience! This was my third time using the service, and I look forward to it every time!

心地よく波に揺られながらサンセットセーリング最高でしたー！！ドリンクも飲み放題で快適に過ごせます！もお3回目の利用です(^^)毎回楽しみにリピートしてます！

It was truly a tour that I’m glad I went on!

First, we entered before the general public. It felt a bit exclusive! While I was a little nervous with the English guidance, we made our way to the green room. After taking photos, we enjoyed appetizers, fruits, and nuts while sipping drinks, spending a luxurious time! The backstage tour was entirely in English, but just being able to see the rarely seen behind-the-scenes was so much fun and exciting! It was really interesting!

After that, we had a leisurely dinner. The food and cocktails were both delicious! And then came the much-anticipated showtime! We were seated right in the front, so close that it felt like we could reach out and touch the performers, and I was so excited!!!

After the show, we took lots of photos and got autographs, and it was truly enjoyable.

We went on our honeymoon, and I didn’t expect to experience such a special feeling, so it was a wonderful tour that will remain in our memories!

本当に行って良かったと思えるツアーでした！

まずは一般のお客さんよりも先に入場。少し優越感！
英語での案内で少したじたじになりながら、グリーンルームへ。写真撮影後、前菜やフルーツ、ナッツを食べて、お酒を飲みながら贅沢な時間を過ごしました！
バックヤードツアーはひたすら英語だったけど、滅多に見られない舞台裏を見て回るだけでとても楽しかったし、わくわく！面白かった〜〜！
その後はゆっくりディナータイム。食事もカクテルもとても美味しい！
そしてお待ちかねのショータイム！
一番前の席で手が届きそうになるくらい近くて、とても興奮しました！！！
ショーの後もたくさん写真を撮って、サインももらって、本当に楽しかったです。

新婚旅行で行きましたが、こんな特別感が味わえるなんて思ってなかったので、思い出に残る素敵なツアーでした！

I participated because I wanted to do something different from others on my first trip to Hawaii!
I heard that there would be fireworks on Friday night, and the night view from the sea was amazing, as were the fireworks!

It was a bit rainy, so it was cold, haha.
I forgot to bring a towel, so it's a good idea to have one!
Since it can be a bit chilly, I think a thick hoodie would be just right!

Also, there's an all-you-can-drink option!
It seems like everyone is given a Mai Tai at first, but you can ask the bartender for more drinks!
I was drinking beer, but there was also white wine available!

初めてのハワイで他の人たちと別なことがしたくて参加しました！
ちょうど金曜日の夜花火が見られるとのことで
海から見る夜景も最高、花火も最高でした！

少し雨が降っていたこともあり、寒かったですw
タオルを持って行くの忘れたのでタオルはあった方がいいですよ！
少し肌寒いので厚手のパーカーくらいがちょうどいいかと思います！

あと、お酒飲み放題です！
マイタイ？が最初みんなに配られる感じなんですが、
お酒作る人に言えば出てきます！
私はビールを飲んでましたが、
ほかに白ワインとかもありましたよ！

I participated in the VIP course alone.

First, it's better to arrive earlier than the meeting time. There are some light snacks served at the cocktail reception. I arrived right on time and was immediately guided to the show venue.

The food is delicious. The meat is tender and easy to eat, even for the elderly. However... the portions are small, haha. So it's a good idea to eat the snacks at the cocktail reception beforehand, haha.

As for the show, fans of Elvis might enjoy it.

VIPコースに一人参加。

まず、集合時間より早めに行った方が良い。
カクテルレセプションで、ちょっとしたおつまみが出る。
私は時間ピッタリに着いてしまい、すぐにショー会場に案内されました。

食事は美味しい。
肉も柔らかく、高齢者でも食べやすい。
ただ・・・量が少ないw
だからカクテルレセプションのおつまみを食べておいた方が良いw

ショーは、エルビスのファンなら楽しめるかも。

The sailing departure was at six o'clock, but it wasn't immediately followed by dinner. It was a buffet style; the taste was okay, and the variety was decent. There were many locals, and only two groups of Japanese. Of course, the announcements were only in English. The boat just wandered around Waikiki Beach. The actual fireworks started at 7:45, so it was boring until then. The boat was rocking, so I didn't want to drink too much, and I didn't eat much either. The fireworks lasted only about five minutes, just a star mine. I was disappointed because I had the impression that they would last much longer, like in Japan.

セーリングの出航は六時からでしたが、そのあとすぐディナーというほどではなく、バイキング形式、味はまあまあ、種類はそこそこ
現地の方が多く日本人は二組でした。もちろん英語での案内のみ
船はワイキキビーチをうろうろしているだけです。
実際の花火の始まりは７時４５分からなので、それまで退屈
船も揺れますから酒に酔うといけないし、食べ物もたくさん食べませんでした。花火の上がる時間は５分そこそこ、スターマインが上がるだけです。
日本では長い時間あがる感覚でいたのにがっかりでした。

The catamaran was almost full. There were few Japanese people, and since they are not good at English, I couldn't understand the captain's talk very well, but I enjoyed the cruise while drinking sparkling wine and beer. The sunset and the lights of Waikiki were beautiful. Be careful as the restrooms can get crowded towards the end of the cruise.

カタマランはほぼ満席？日本人は少なく英語が苦手なのでキャプテンの話など良くわかりませんがスパークリングワインやビールを飲んでクルーズを楽しみました。夕陽やワイキキの街灯りが綺麗で良かったです。クルーズ後半はトイレが込み合うので注意かも。

I went to see the show at my husband's request. We had front-row seats. It was a rare experience to see the expressions of Elvis, Katy, and the dancers up close, creating wonderful memories. There was also a backstage tour before the show, where we could touch the costumes and props used on stage, providing an experience that we wouldn't normally have. We had plenty of time for meals, and I enjoyed the course-style dishes that were served, which was also satisfying. Additionally, the hospitality from the staff was pleasant and exceptional.

夫のリクエストで観に行きました。ステージから一番前の席。
エルビス、ケーティ、ダンサーの表情がまともに観れてとても貴重な
想い出ができました。ショーの前バックシテージツアーもあり、ステージでの

食事の時間もたっぷりあり、コース仕立てで運ばれてくるお料理を楽しむことができこちらも満足。
また、スタッフの皆さんの【お・も・て・な・し】が心地よくて最高でした。

My mother (in her 60s) and I (in my 30s) participated in the Rock-a-Hula show (backstage tour).
About the food… The appetizers we had in the green room were delicious. I only ate a little bit to save room for dinner, but I wish I had eaten more. The dinner itself was average in taste, but the presentation was vibrant and really captured the Hawaiian vibe.
About the backstage tour… Neither of us speaks English at all (we're not good at it, dislike it, and try to avoid it as much as possible), but they spoke slowly using simple words, so we were able to understand. Even if you don't understand English, I think you can enjoy looking at the performers' costumes, microphones, and stage lighting.
About the seating… We had seats in the center, the closest to the stage. It wasn't too close to the point where we couldn't see; we could see everything well.
About the show… I only recognized two songs, but my mother seemed to know almost all of Elvis's songs and was very happy. It was a shame that Michael wasn't there that day (both my mother and I are fans of Michael).
I also saw hula dancing for the first time, and it was fun, while the fire dance was incredibly powerful, to the point where I was worried about fire coming towards us! I enjoyed the fire dance the most during the show.
About the service… I arrived more than 20 minutes before the check-in time, but while sitting on a bench before check-in, a female staff member who spoke Japanese (I think she was an Asian dancer) approached us and explained that we could check in early and that we should move to the area near the outdoor stage once the show started. She was very polite and kind.
Overall… Both my mother and I had a great time. We were excited from the night we arrived, and it feels like we will continue to have fun from the next day! Participating was definitely the right choice!

母(60代)と私(30代)の２人でロックアフラショー(バックステージツアー)に参加しました。
食事について…。グリーンルームで食べたアペタイザーがおいしかったです。ディナーに備えてほんの少〜ししか食べなかったのですがもっと食べればよかったです。ディナー自体は、味は普通でしたが見た目が鮮やかでハワイ気分を満喫できました。
バックステージツアーについて…。２人とも全く英語ができない(苦手だし嫌いだしなるべく避けて通りたい)ですが簡単な単語でゆっくり話してくれるので私達でも聞き取れました。また、英語が分からなくても出演者の衣装やマイク、ステージ照明など見て楽しめると思います。
席について…。ステージから１番近い中央の席でした。近すぎて見づらいと言うこともなくちゃんと全体を見渡せます。
ショーについて…。モノマネは、私は知っている曲が２曲しかありませんでしたが、母はプレスリーの曲はほぼ全て知っていたようで喜んでいました。この日はマイケルがいなかったのが残念でした(私も母もマイケルのファンです)。
フラダンスも初めて見ましたが楽しかったですし、ファイヤーダンスはものすごい迫力で、こちらに火が飛んでこないかと不安になるくらいでした！私はショーの中でファイヤーダンスが１番楽しめました。
サービスなどについて…。受付開始時刻の20分以上前に着いてしまったのですが、受付前のベンチに座っていると、日本語を話す女性スタッフ(アジア系のダンサーの方だと思います)が声をかけてきてくれて、受付はもうできること、外のステージのショーが始まったらそのステージ付近に移動すればよいこと等、説明してくれました。とても丁寧で親切でした。
全体を通して…。母も私も楽しめました。到着日の夜からテンションがあがって、翌日からも楽しめそうな予感！！参加して大正解でした！！

Recently, every time I come to Honolulu, I participate in the sunset cruise on the Mai Tai Catamaran. There are no staff who speak Japanese, and most of the customers are Westerners. Perhaps because of that, the atmosphere is lively and quite enjoyable. It's a yacht, but since it's a catamaran, I think it's stable and doesn't tilt.

最近ではホノルルに来る度にマイタイカタマランのサンセットクルーズに参加しています。日本語が話せるスタッフもいませんし、お客さんもほぼ欧米系です。そのお陰かノリも良くむしろ楽しいですね。ヨットですがカタマランなので傾く事もなく安定していると思います。

We participated as a couple in a plan organized by an acquaintance. At first, I thought it would just be a casual event enjoying music while having a meal, but they played nostalgic songs one after another, and both my spouse and I had a wonderful time. Our seats were arranged in the same group as our acquaintance, and we were able to spend special moments with friends over drinks and food before the show started. The meal was luxurious and delicious. I realized that there are such enjoyable experiences to be had on a trip to Hawaii, and I am grateful for this tour and my acquaintance.

知人の企画で夫婦での参加となりました。最初は食事をしながら音楽を楽しむ程度のものかと思っていましたが、昔流れていた音楽が次々と繰り広げられ、懐かしい気持ちで夫婦共々楽しんでいました。座席も知人と同じグループとしてアレンジしていただき、ステージが始まる前の時間もドリンクや食事で友人との特別な時間を過ごすことが出来き、食事も豪華で美味しくいただけました。ハワイ旅行でこういった楽しみ方もあるのだなと、このツアーと知人に感謝の気持ちです。

I often visit live venues in Japan, but I decided to attend this show for the memories of Hawaii. Upon entering through the VIP entrance, I was greeted by a performer resembling Katy Perry, and I was overwhelmed by her doll-like appearance as we all took a commemorative photo together. I was guided to the front row right below the stage, where a wonderful meal was served one after another. When crab was brought out, the staff promptly removed the shells for us, allowing us to enjoy a very pleasant and delicious dinner.

As the show began, there were performances of Elvis, Michael, Katy, and Hawaiian performers, seamlessly blending with oldies that even Japanese people are familiar with, all accompanied by wonderful music. The quality of the singing was very high, and the performers often came down into the audience, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

I have experienced a real Michael stage performance before, but I believe this is not just an impersonation show; it is a splendid example of American entertainment.

私は、日本でもよくライブ会場に足を運びますが、ハワイの思い出にこのショーに参加してみました。VIP専用の入り口から入るとケイティ・ペリーのパフォーマーがお出迎え、まるでお人形のような容姿に圧倒されながら、皆で記念写真。ステージすぐ下の最前列に案内され、素敵な食事が次々と運ばれてきます。蟹が出てきたときには、すかさずスタッフが殻を外してくれて、とても気持ちがよく美味しいディナーをいただきました。
ステージが始まると、エルビス、マイケル、ケティにハワイアンパフォーマーと息もつかさず、日本人でもよく耳にしたオールディズが素敵な演奏とともに繰り広げられました。皆さん歌のクオリティも非常に高く、よく会場にも降りてきてくれますので、楽しめます。
本物のマイケルのステージも体験したこともありますが、これは単なるモノマネショーではなく、立派なアメリカンエンターテイメントだと思います。

My husband and I booked the fireworks sail for our last night in Hawaii and it was a great way to end our trip. The music was right, the fireworks were a beautiful sight, and my cup of maitai was constantly filled by the shirtless bartender! We would definitely book this again when we come back and maybe bring a few friends with us next time. :)

I heard from a friend who has seen various shows in Hawaii that the Hilton's luau was absolutely fantastic, so I decided to go.

The day before, there was heavy rain, and I was worried it might be canceled (it mentioned indoor seating), but on the day itself, it was beautifully clear. However, since it was going to be evening, a jacket was necessary. With guaranteed front-row seats, we also had priority for the buffet, and an extra drink was included, so we really enjoyed the meal.

There were couples from all over the world celebrating their honeymoons and silver anniversaries, and it was fun to chat with everyone at the same table. Our seats were the fourth row from the front, and the dancers were visible from all directions, so I had no particular complaints. However, I was a bit put off by the amusement park-style photo sales.

Whether you go early or not doesn't make much of a difference, but I'm glad I opted for the guaranteed seating.

The captain and crew only spoke English, so I couldn't understand what they were saying, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was very beautiful and enjoyable. It seems that members of Terrace House also participated in this sailing, which added to the atmosphere and made it great!

船長を始めクルーは英語しか喋りませんので何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが沖から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗で楽しめました^_^
テラスハウスのメンバーもこのセーリングに参加したようですので雰囲気も楽しめ良かったです！

Whole experience was great!
Mentioned about our 10 year anniversary- which was lovely.

Friendly staff, great service, great view, moved the boat around so every side had a great view

Great music, food and atmosphere. I wish we had more time. Definitely a repeat if given the opportunity.

It was a rock show after 20 years. Elvis was as cool as ever. It was disappointing that Michael Jackson was absent. Katy was cute too ❤️ She used to be Madonna, right?

２０年ぶりのロックアショー。エルビスは相変わらずカッコ良かったです。マイケルジャクソンが欠席だったのが残念でした。ケーティも可愛かった❤️昔はマドンナだったよね〜

There were few Japanese people, mostly foreigners, so just being on the boat felt exotic. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they also provided snacks. I was torn between a dinner cruise, but this one felt more like a resort experience. The rocking felt like an attraction, and depending on where you sit, you might get splashed by the waves, but that was also fun. The cruise was quite long, and by the time the sun was setting, everyone was singing together and having a great time. I wish I could speak a little more English. I will definitely ride again next time! I highly recommend it!

日本人は少なく、海外の人ばかりで船に乗るだけでも異国感。飲み物は飲み放題。スナックもくれました。ディナークルーズと迷ってましたが、こちらの方がリゾート感あります。揺れはアトラクションって感じで座る場所、波の大きさに濡れることありますがそれもまた楽しい。クルーズは結構長く日が沈む頃には、みんなで歌ったりとお客同士でワイワイ。もう少し英語話せたらよかったなぁ。絶対次も乗ります‼︎おススメです‼︎

We loved the view of fireworks over the HHW, and the Waikiki Beach skyline. After seeing the fireworks from shore, we wanted to take this trip on our return visit. It was worth it. The crew was fun and the mai tais were plentiful. Our only difficulty was finding the launch. Not being local, we weren't sure how to get to this spot. Street directions would have been helpful.

It was great. The best. I participated for the first time while staying at the Sheraton. Until now, I was just wondering what it was, but I happened to find it online and joined. It was very friendly and fun.

良かった。最高。シェラトンに泊まって初めて参加しました。今まであれなんかな?と見ていただけですが、ネットでたまたま見つけて参加しました。とてもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

This was my eighth visit to Oahu, so I was looking for activities I hadn't participated in before, and I found this one. Joining was definitely the right choice! The night view while drinking a Mai Tai was amazing, and the excitement from the boat's sway added to the fun! It was a wonderful time where participants and the crew all enjoyed together. ★

オアフ島は8回目の訪問でしたので、これまでに参加したことのないアクティビティを探していて、たどり着きました。
参加して大正解！マイタイを飲みながらの夜景は最高で、船の揺れでも大盛り上がり！参加者とクルーが一緒に盛り上がる素敵な時間でした★

This time, I participated with five friends from childhood (71 years old). When I mentioned that I had gone to see the show for the third time with my wife this October, they expressed a strong desire to see it as well, so they joined. I was amazed by the high quality and the spectacular stage, and we all had a great time. I was surprised that, apart from Elvis, the performers had changed since I saw it in October, and some parts of the show were different as well. Everyone had a wonderful time.

今回は幼馴染の男女5人での参加でした（71歳）今年の10月に妻と3回目の観ショーをした旨の話をしたところ是非とも観たいとの事で参加いたしました。そのクオリィティーの高さとショーアップされたステージに驚くとともに大盛り上がりで楽しんでおりました。10月に観た時と
エルビス以外は出演者も替っておりショーも一部分変わっていたのには驚きでした。
全員楽しいひと時を過ごせました。

The crew was friendly and fun. Great time and great mai this! Totally recommend!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We participated in a tour that is known for its unique hula dance show. During the initial backyard tour, we were greeted by an Elvis impersonator as a surprise. Although it wasn't the real Elvis, it felt like we had met a star.

After that, the dinner show began. The dinner was surprisingly filling, and we were very satisfied.

Then the show started. The hula dance show set to the songs of classic stars like Elvis and Michael Jackson was an impressive stage performance unlike anything I had seen before. Personally, I was most captivated by the fire dance. I recommend this for anyone looking to see a unique show.

新婚旅行でハワイにいきました。一風変わったフラダンスショーが見れると話題の当該ツアーに参加。最初のバックヤードの案内では、プレスリーのそっくりさんが出迎えてくれてるサプライズ。本人ではないですが、思わずスターに会った気分でした。
その後、ディナーショーが始まりました。ディナーも以外とボリューミーで大満足でした。
そしてショーが始まりました。プレスリー、マイケルジャクソンと往年のスターの曲に合わせたフラダンスショーは今まで見たことがない迫力のステージでした。個人的にはファイヤーダンスに一番夢中になりました。ちょっと変わったショーが見たい方にはおすすめです。
