We booked the Friday night fireworks cruise for Halloween. We got married that day and this was a fun way to celebrate with our adult children. The cruise was fun and the kids enjoyed the open bar. The fireworks were great.

This is the 2nd time in 2 years that I have done this catamaran cruise to watch the Friday night fireworks from the water. This time I invited friends who are locals to join me. They were impressed. The crew is amazing. The drinks are great, the view is spectacular. Unfortunately the fireworks show seems to get shorter every year. HOWEVER, that is not the fault of the crew. It’s still an amazing evening and I will do it again next trip despite the fact that I typically stay at the Hilton and could see the fireworks from my condo or from the beach, but doing it with Ke Kai takes the whole experience to a whole new level.

The staff was really nice, we bought it quickly after they arrived. It was about an hour long. The fireworks sadly were only about five minutes long. It is all you could drink of alcohol honestly, I didn't really like the drinks I had 2. but for those I like to drink this is the boat for you. They did advise not to take any kids unfortunately we're here on a family trip so I did take my kiddos, but it still wasn't too bad. There were a few party girls on there but nothing too bad

This was my first time doing the Friday night fireworks on the ocean on the ke kai. This was sooo worth it. It's rare to see locals on the boats but this even the locals come out for. Lots of date night couples on this one. Pictures are available if you wish for a nominal charge. Music was playing. Plenty of seats. It's shoes off you board right at the beach very convenient. Fireworks were beautiful. Everyone is carded young and old bring your id for complimentary drinks.
It was perfect.

We had a great experience seeing the fireworks on a Friday evening. The boat ride is about an hour. The firework was about a good 10 minutes (two parts) but you will be not be able to see fireworks sitting in the Waikiki beach area so recommend making a reservation with Ke Kai as they know the spot where the firework takes place. We were expecting the firework to be a little longer but that is okay. Drinks are included in the package. Definitely be coming back! Thank you for making it a great night.
Bring a jacket or sweater with you as it gets chilly in the evening throughout the boat ride.

We had a special night on the ke Kai watching the Friday night fireworks.
Staff were all lovely was a great vibe on the catamaran.
So nice seeing Waikīkī at night like that, the fireworks themselves don’t go for too long but still was magic.
We went with our kids and they loved it.

The crew are experienced and fun! They cracked jokes and worked with the atmosphere of the guests on board. Music was blasting and the drinks were flowing. They even had a photographer to capture personal or group photos for purchase! It was amazing to see the fireworks from the boat. I would highly recommend this cruise if you want to have a good time!

Great experience overall, you will have to walk in ankle deep water so wear appropriate shoes. They offer free drinks and I’m not sure anyone was checking how many we had to I guess it’s unofficially unlimited. Wish it was a little longer of a ride the hour goes quickly

Sunset catarmaran sail was a blast! An ocean dance party pre-wedding night 5 July!
Walk onboard barefoot from the beach at Duke's through the gentle waves so put your fancy footwear in your bag or store your flipflops on board with all the others.
This was great value for money with the choice of two free-flowing cocktails throughout the trip.
Crew (skipper and ship's mate) are highly-skilled and friendly.
Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks, dont miss it!

We had a great time on the fireworks cruise. The crew was fun and energetic and made everyone laugh. The drinks were nice and strong and service was fast. Some folks seemed like they pre partied all day and got a little raunchy. Families with young kids should keep this in mind (this is also warned on their website). The view was great and the music was fun.
A nice way to end the day!

The hour went so quickly!
The boat was easy to find, right out the front of Duke's.
The boarding into the boat was relatively easy, there's stairs that come down from the centre of the boat that you climb up. We did get wet leaving the boat but that was okay!
We cruised around to where the fireworks happen and had a great view.
The time went so quickly!

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Fireworks lasted for a decent amount of time. Boat ride was very bumpy, but it was also my first time on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect, also sat at the front of the boat, which probably didn't help.

The crew was nice. The cost was to include 3 Mai Tais. Whatever they served us was not Mai Tais. They didn’t look or taste like Mai Tais, no juices or dark rum.
We had fun but they need to improve the drinks and actually provide Mai Tais not something they concocted with white rum
And ginger ale. What we got was not what we paid for.

This activity is so much fun! Round trip it took about 2 hours from getting on to getting off the boat, so it's perfect if you're looking for a quick boat ride while in Waikiki. The fireworks show were great and the perfect start or ending to a Friday night. The crew we had was amazing - very quick bar service, very stiff drinks, and they were the most helpful and fun! You can tell I was having a good time by the attached photo lol. FYI you will get a bit wet if you choose to sit on the catamaran's net seating at the front, but the boat is very comfortable and everyone had a good view from anywhere they were seated while the fireworks were going on. Also FYI they don't let the sails down during this night boat trip. Definitely recommend for just an easygoing and cool experience.

The ride on the catamaran at mild temperatures with nice people and free soft drinks was very romantic. The price-performance ratio is right.
However, a certain degree of mobility is required to get on and off the boat.
Unfortunately the music is too loud. You have to like that.

Ruined by 3 drinking moms. There was an announcement to refrain from standing on the benches. 3 drinking moms stood as soon as the fireworks started and blocked our view. None of the crew reminded them to sit so others could enjoy the fireworks. The fireworks were not very high as they are for other shows I have been to. The captain could have turned the boat so they were not in the front towards the fireworks and give others a chance to see. The crew was nice, played music, and appeared to want everyone to have a good time.

The package was exactly as described online. The meet up spot was very easy to find. The boat provided amazing views of the fireworks with fun music. The entire experience was about an hour and the workers on the boat were awesome. Drinks were also included, but honestly I did not find them to taste that great. Otherwise, this package was absolutely worth the money and I would definitely do it again!

You load the boat on the beach so wear shoes that are easy to slip off.
