This was a show that truly felt like Hawaii. The scale has shrunk quite a bit since I first saw it several decades ago, but it was a good show. The fire dance, in particular, was impressive. The food was buffet style; it wasn't bad, but it was just okay. I recommend it for those visiting Hawaii for the first time.

これぞハワイと言う感じのショーでした。
数十年前に始めてみた時からは大分規模はシュリンクしていましたが、良いショーでした。
特に火の踊りは圧巻でした。
料理は、ビュッフェスタイルで、まずくはありませんが、まずまずというところでした。
ハワイへ初めて行く人にはお勧めです。

YOU DO SEE TURTLES! Amazing experience- we saw 5 large sea turtles at the cleaning station. We had a large one come up for air literally right in front of us- I could have reached out and touched it! We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.

We shared a table with several foreign couples. We enjoyed watching the show while having fun conversations. When they asked if we were on our honeymoon, we were cheered on by those around us and ended up going on stage to dance. It became a wonderful memory.

外国人カップル数組とテーブルが一緒でした。
楽しく会話しながらショーを拝見しました。
ハネムーンの方？と言われたので周りから囃し立てられ登壇してダンスをしました。　良い思い出になりました。

I participated with my child. The sea was beautiful, and we went quite far out, which was very nice. However, I think it would have been even more fun if we could have joined as a group. Also, since you get quite wet from the sea spray, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet. If you're worried about getting wet, I don't think you'll enjoy it as much.

親子二人で参加しました。
海もきれいで結構沖まで行きとてもよかったですが、
グループで参加できればもっと楽しかったと思います。
また、かなりシースプレーで濡れるので濡れても構わない服装での参加をお勧めします。
濡れることを気にしているとそんなに楽しめないと思います。

I wasn't expecting much from the hula and fire dance in Hawaii, but it was really great. I didn't understand much English, but I had a lot of fun. Before the show started, there were some fun booths where you could choose your favorite designs for temporary tattoos on your arms and legs... (it was free). The food was served buffet-style, and I could take as much as I wanted. However, once the show started, I got so focused on watching that I forgot to eat with my chopsticks (or fork). I sat next to an American named Porter, and even though we couldn't understand each other, we connected and exchanged emails. After returning home, I sent him the photos via email.

Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the free seating. I'm thinking of coming back here next year if I have dinner elsewhere in the evening.

ハワイのフラやファイヤーダンスだろうってそんなに期待していなかったけどとても良かった。
英語はよくわかりませんでしたが楽しめましたよ。
ショーが始まるまではちょっとした遊びのブース見たいのがあって足や腕にタトゥーを好きな絵柄を選んで書いてくれたり.....（無料でした）
料理もビュフェ形式で好きなものを沢山取れます。でもショーが始まると見ることに集中して箸（フォーク）が止まって食べるのを忘れてた。
隣に座っていたアメリカ人のポータさんとは言葉は理解できないけど、打ち解けメール交換しましたよ。帰国して写真をメール送信しました。
席も早めに並んで行ったので自由席でも十分楽しめました。

来年も夜は他でディナーするならまたここで楽しみたいと考えています。

Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper

Since the stage is set up on the rooftop, it's difficult to see the show because of people's heads. If the seating were tiered like at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it would be possible to see the entire show from the back, even if it's far away.

The "Waikiki Starlight Luau" at the Hilton Hawaiian Village is very convenient for those staying at the Hilton, as it's located within the village. It's also convenient to be able to watch the show while having a meal.

It was a wonderful show with singing and dancing. The two drinks included were just right. The meal was also delicious.

歌にダンスにとても素晴らしいショーでした。

お食事も美味しくいただきました。

I couldn't speak English, which made it half as enjoyable... I wished I could speak English. I was satisfied with both the show and the meal.

英語ができず、楽しかったが楽しさ半分に…。英語ができればと思いました。
ショー、食事ともに満足できました。

My mom has never gone sailing before, so what an absolute treat this was to bring her on a Sunset Sail with me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single minute of it. It wasn't one of those Booze Cruises where everyone is loud and getting their fill of free booze, this one I was able to relax with my daughter, enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.

The crew mates were so friendly, drinks were top notch, and the Spirit of Aloha is in great shape to handle the open sea!

I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and simple sunset cocktail sail!

Sailing off Waikiki at an incredible speed was refreshing! It was also great to enjoy snorkeling.

I was told, "The turtles are used to people and won't be scared to come close, but don't touch them," but I never expected they would come so close... There were always 3 to 4 turtles swimming nearby, and when they surfaced for air, they were so close that I could almost touch them—they're really big.

The sailing speed was fast, and it was quite bumpy, but as long as I looked out at the distance and enjoyed the wind, it was fine. I'm glad I chose one that fit my needs among the various catamaran sailing options. There were no other Japanese people, but I didn't feel particularly worried about that.

すごいスピードでワイキキ沖を爽快セイリング！シュノーケリングも楽しめてとても良かったです。
『カメは人になれてて怖がらないで近くにくるけど触っちゃダメ』と言ってたけど、あんなに近づいてくるとは思わなかった・・・。３~４匹のカメが常に近くをまわってたし、息継ぎに浮き上がってくると触れるくらい近くとにかくデカイ。
帆走スピードが速くて、結構揺れたけど、遠くをみるようにして風に当たって楽しく参加したら大丈夫でした。
いろんなカタマランセイリングがある中から、自分のニーズにあったのを選んでよかったです。日本人は誰もいなかったけど特に心配もないし。

Overall a relaxing sail and a great time was had by my wife and i.

Never snorkeled before, but that was no problem....the boat was really impressively clean and well cared for. SOme tours can be kind of slack about cleanliness (bathrooms, facilities, etc..) but not this one...everything was immaculate. Staff was great. Always "on it" as far as service goes, and we had just a really great day. I could go on this tour several times and still enjoy it just as much, if not more, than the first time. Great staff. GReat day.

This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.

It was very enjoyable and interesting. The splashes of the waves were exhilarating, the swaying was like a roller coaster, and I was impressed by the deep blue color of the ocean. The view from offshore Waikiki was spectacular.

Among the participants, we were the only two Asians, and most seemed to be mainland Americans visiting for tourism (based on their accents).

Because of this, it was a very lively cruise. Indeed, the atmosphere tends to decline significantly when there are Japanese people on board.

If you don't understand Japanese and aren't quite fluent in English, you won't be able to grasp what the crew is saying. It was fun!!

大変楽しく面白かったでうす。
波しぶきは受けるは、ゆれはジェットコースター並みで、海の色の青さには、感激しました。
ワイキキの沖からの景色は絶景でした。


参加者は、東洋人は私たち２人だけで、ほとんどが、観光で着ているメインランドのアメリカ人のようでした。
（言葉のなまりで判断）

それなので、非常にのりのよいクルージングでした。やはり、のりのよさはでは、日本人がいると、かなり悪くなってしまいます。　　

日本語は通じず、かなり英語がしゃべれる人でないと、クルーの言っていることは、不明です。　
面白かった！！

I think there were about 25 people on board, and we were the only Japanese. It was a cruise where couples, families, and friends could all truly enjoy themselves in their own ways.

Everyone participated differently, but there was a sense of unity among us. My family, for instance, had the chance to take pictures with an American couple in front of us, and sometimes the couples were hugging and kissing. A group of young girls was having a blast, dancing to the music at the front of the boat while splashing water everywhere.

Thanks to the staff's attentiveness, everyone maintained a good distance from each other, and I can honestly say there was nothing to complain about. The beautiful sea, the view of Waikiki, and the pleasant breeze made it all perfect.

My 78-year-old father was feeling anxious before boarding, but afterward, he unexpectedly said, "I had so much fun, I want to do it again." I was truly glad that I could share this first experience with him.

乗船は25名ぐらいだったと思います、日本人は我々だけでしたがカップル、家族、友人同士それぞれが思い思いに本当に楽しめるクルーズでした。

参加の仕方はそれぞれですが、全員の一体感もあり家族で参加した私たちも前のアメリカ人のカップルと写真を撮りあったりする時間もあり、時にはカップルは抱き合ってキスしていたりと・・。
若い女の子のグループはめちゃくちゃはしゃいで水を浴びる船の先端で音楽に合せて踊っていました。
とにかくスタッフの気配りのおかげでみんな良い距離感を保てているし、おせじ抜きに言う事無しです。
綺麗な海とワイキキの景色、心地よい風。
78才の父も乗船前は不安になっていたのですが、終わってから「とても楽しかった、もう一度乗りたい」と想定外の言葉が飛び出して、初体験の父を一緒に参加させてよかったと心から思いました。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but after turning 60, I had one regret. I wanted to try surfing at least once! However, participating in the Outrigger Catamaran Sailing made me feel like my dream came true. The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, the blue sky, and the azure sea from the water was breathtaking. I even found the strength of the wind and the coolness of the sea spray to be pleasant. The perspective was different from the dinner cruise I had taken before; it felt as if I was flying over the waves... Unfortunately, since it was in the evening, I didn't encounter any sea turtles. Next time, I definitely want to join a morning sailing to meet the sea turtles! If possible, I would love to see dolphins too! This was an activity I would love to participate in again. Thank you very much.

ハワイはもう何度も行ってますが、６０歳を過ぎて心残りがありました。
一度でいいから「サーフィン」をしてみたい！でも今回のアウトリガー・カタマランセーリングに参加して、夢が叶った気分でした。海の上から眺めるワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、青い空、碧い海。風の強さも、波しぶきの冷たさも心地よくさえ感じました。以前に乗ったディナークルーズの船とは、目線の高さが違うぶん、まるで私が波の上を飛んでいるように…でも、夕方の時間だったので、海がめには遭遇できませんでした。次回はぜひ朝のセーリングに参加して、海がめに逢いたい！できればイルカにも逢いたい！
もう一度、ぜひ参加したいアクティビティでした。ありがとうございました。

This is a really convenient luau. In good walking distance or a cab ride away from all the hotels and incredibly delicious food. Be sure to get the Golden Circle, because we did and we had excellent front row type of seating. CHECK IN EARLY TO BYPASS THE CROWD!!!

Some bad "Cons" about this is:
there is no good/ romantic picture taking scenery, chairs are situated very close to eachother so your banging elbows with the next person, its on the top of a parking lot structure and its just surrounded by a bunch of buildings.

Staff was friendly, water is always provided, the Food is BETTER tasting from all the other Luau's I have been too.. so that is a plus.

It was a wonderful sail and beautiful scenery of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Town. The Captain answered all of my daughter's questions, and let me tell you..SHE HAD A LOT of questions!! She even made friends with another little girl on-board. We didn't snorkel because I am not a great swimmer and the waves looked kinda rough, but its ok...me and my daughter was on the top drinking our Orange and Guave juice and enjoying the breeze, relaxing and taking in the scenery.

The Catamaran was clean, comfortable, and had 2 CLEAN bathrooms on-board (Women and Men). The staff was very friendly, always came around to see how we were doing and offering us anything to drink.. Beautiful way to spend your afternoon.. Well done, Thank you Hawaiiactivities.com and Hawaii Nautical!!

I was worried about the cloudy sky in the morning, but with the completely clear blue sky, I felt like a yachtsman. We were the only Japanese people, but we enjoyed sailing together with people from various nationalities. The color of the sea was stunning, perfectly described as cobalt blue and ocean blue. The yacht, boldly sailing against the wind on the sea, was more enjoyable than I expected.

I wasn't sure about a Luau IN Waikiki but this one was really enjoyable. You don't have to take a bus 45 minutes each way or more outside of Waikiki, as you have to do with the other Luau's, which is a real plus! The food was excellent with a big assortment so there's really something that everyone would like. There's not really a bad seat in the house either. Of course we were sitting front row and it was pretty cool. Worth the extra bucks, in my opinion. The performers were really top notch. I'm not sure what I expected but they definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Definitely the best fire-dancers I've ever seen and I live here, so I've seen many. The whole experience was really fun and impressive. A great way to experience the culture of the islands.

I've been on other snorkeling cruises but was REALLY IMPRESSED with the boat and the crew. The boat was very clean, open and comfortable. Having great his and her bathrooms was a nice plus as well. The crew were fun, informative and professional. They make you feel very comfortable and taken care of. Swimming with the turtles was a total treat. There's a crew member in the water with you the entire time and they are not only looking out for your safety but are answering questions about the fish, turtles and the total area. In addition, they are educating you so you really "swim" away knowing more than when you came. The sailing portion was really relaxing and peaceful. It's great to see Waikiki & Diamond Head Crater from the water and being able to leave on this trip from the Hilton is a real plus. Even the food and snacks were good. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Our friend recommended that we do this cruise and boy was I not disappointed. I have been on several other snorkeling trips before but never have i been so close to turtles! The staff was really amazing and it even comes with 3 free alcoholic drinks! The lunch was very ono as well. Over all a really fun day!

It was just me and my friend, completely out of place among the Japanese, but the lively atmosphere and upbeat music really lifted our spirits! Surrounded by refreshing winds and the sea, it felt amazing. We encountered a large group of dolphins up close, and they even spun around like in a dolphin show. It's truly surprising to see this in the wild. Additionally, we were able to see sea turtles very close by, which was very satisfying. I recommend this for anyone who wants to see dolphins and turtles! I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by couples, friends, and families alike. Don't worry, it's not a tour where you get too wet! Also, there are two hotels in Waikiki, Outrigger and Outrigger Reef, so make sure you don't accidentally go to Outrigger Beach! It's right next to Halekulani~~＾＾ It was a relaxing tour amidst a packed Hawaii trip.

日本人は私と友達の二人だけで完全アウェイ状態でしたが、外国人のノリの良さとアップテンポな曲で一気にテンション上がりました~！！！
爽快な風と海に囲まれてとても気持ちよかったです。間近でイルカの大群に出会い、イルカのショーみたく、くるくるっと回転までしてくれました。これが野生なんだから本当に驚きです。また、ウミガメもすぐ近くで見ることができ、大満足でした。イルカもカメも見たい人にはおススメです！！
カップルでも友達でもファミリーでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。あまり濡れるツアーではないので安心してください。それから、ワイキキにはアウトリガーとアウトリガーリーフの２つホテルがあるので間違ってアウトリガーのビーチに行かないように！！ハレクラニの隣ですよ~~＾＾
予定ツメツメのハワイ旅行の間にホッとのんびりできるツアーでした。

Only my friend and I participated as Japanese. When the white sails of the yacht catch the wind and pick up speed, we are splashed with water without mercy. I had a very enjoyable time while gazing at the blue sea. I definitely think this is an activity I would like to participate in again!

日本人で参加したのは私と友達の二人。
ヨットの白い帆が風を受けてスピードが出ると容赦なく水をかぶります。
青い海を眺めながらとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
また、ぜひ参加したいアクティビティだと思います！

At first, I was worried about getting wet... but I ended up sitting at the front of the yacht, getting completely soaked and having a blast! I was able to enjoy a passion fruit cocktail on the yacht, and since the seawater splashed on us, I bought a drink in a shaker-type container! The cocktail had a slight salty taste from the seawater, and it was so much fun to enjoy it while having a great time with the other participants!

最初は濡れるのがいやかも…
と思っていましたが、ヨットの前に足を出して座り濡れまくり騒ぎまくりでハイテンションに！
ヨットの上でパッションフルーツのカクテルも飲めて、海の水がかかるので、シェーカータイプの容器に入ったドリンクを購入！海の水がかかってちょっぴり塩味なカクテルも、ほかの参加者たちと騒ぎながらでとても楽しかったです！

I was drawn in by the campaign price and decided to participate.

The yacht was relatively small, accommodating about 17 people. We boarded with my spouse and our 9-month-old baby, making three of us. The other guests were all foreigners (three groups, about seven people).

The boat left the sandy beach, started the engine, and headed a few hundred meters offshore. Once we were out at sea, we raised the yacht's sails and enjoyed the ride powered only by the wind. This was incredibly refreshing. Thanks to the cheerful captain and crew, the upbeat music kept the energy high throughout the trip! The alcohol mixed with tropical juice (for an extra charge) was perfect for this boat.

Although my spouse and I usually get motion sickness, we were able to enjoy ourselves this time without feeling seasick at all.

We even got to see sea turtles swimming, making this a thoroughly satisfying activity.

キャンペーン価格につられて参加しました。

ヨットは比較的小型のもので、１７人定員くらいのものでした。
我々は夫婦と０歳９カ月の赤ちゃんと３人で乗船。
他のお客さんは外国人の方々のみ（３組、７人位）。

船は砂浜を出て、エンジンをかけて数百メートルの沖へ。
沖に出てからはヨットの帆を張り、風の力だけで遊覧。
これが最高に気持ちいいです。
陽気な運転手さんと乗組員さんのおかげもあり、アップテンポな音楽でノリノリのヨットは常にテンション上がりっぱなし！
トロピカルジュース（別料金）で割ったアルコールも、この船にピッタリでした。

我々夫婦は乗り物酔いをする方なのですが、今回はほとんど船酔いすることもなく楽しめました。

ウミガメが泳いでいるところも見れましたし、大満足のアクティビティでした。

My wife and I participated together. The catamaran's docking location was right in front of us, accessible via a paved path leading from the Outrigger Hotel to the beach between the Halekulani Hotel. There were about twenty participants, and we were the only Japanese, but it was not a problem at all. Since our feet would get wet, we prepared to set sail in our swimsuits. The instructions were given in English, and we were able to leave our sandals and board barefoot. I tend to get seasick, so I quickly sat next to the center mast. The tour departed at 3 PM, and fortunately, the weather was great. As soon as we set sail, we spotted the silhouette of a sea turtle in the water. As we headed out, the sea, which had been calm, began to get choppy, resembling a bit of an amusement park ride. Other guests were squealing with excitement every time they got splashed by the waves. The view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was refreshing and created wonderful memories. I didn't give a perfect score of five stars overall because, on the way back to the beach, I got a bit cold after being splashed by seawater for a long time, which lowered my mood. I think it's best to wear a swimsuit if you sit at the bow, as you'll get wet often, but if you're near the captain, you might not get splashed as much.

　妻と２人で参加しました。カタマラン号の停泊場所は、アウトリガーホテルとハレクラニホテルの敷地間のビーチへ続く舗装道があって、そこを通ると目の前でした。参加者は２０数名、日本人は私たちだけでしたが特に問題なし。足元が濡れるので水着の状態で出航準備。英語で案内があって、サンダルを預かってもらって裸足で乗船。私は船に酔いやすいので、急いで中心の帆柱の横に座りました。午後３時出発のツアーで幸い天気もよく、出航してすぐ海中に海カメのシルエットを発見。沖に出ると次第におだやかだった海も波が高くなり、ちょっとした遊園地のアトラクションのようでした。他の客は波を被るたびにキャッキャ言っていました。沖から見るワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は爽快で、良い思い出となりました。総合評価で満点５つ☆にしなかったのは、ビーチへ帰るときに、長い間海水を被って少し冷えてテンションが下がってしまったことです。帆先に座るとよく濡れるので水着が良いと思いますが、船長近くの場所であれば、濡れることも少ないと思います。

We participated as a family of five. Besides us, there was a group of about ten American young people and a couple who were also American. The one and a half hours of sailing were overwhelming due to the lively performances of this group of young people (in their late teens) and the staff, making it a delightful and enjoyable experience.

ファミリー5名で参加しました。我々以外は、アメリカンの
若者グループ10数名と同じくアメリカンの夫婦一組でした。
セーリングの一時間半はこの若者（10代後半）グループとスタッフの乗りの良いパフォーマンスに圧倒され、愉快で楽しく過ごせました。

Great time. Awesome value. Will return.

All in all, was a good experience. The entertainment was excellent. Much less people than at the Polynesian Cultural Center lu'au which was very nice. The only problem was the server who was extremely rude and sarcastic and made a part of the night very unpleasant.
