A fun night at sea.

Reviewed by: KD

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.

1-Hour Waikiki Fireworks Sail Cruise with Drinks Included - Holokai Catamaran

Beauuuutiful experience, almost perfect!

Reviewed by: Honeymooners

We got married an hour before the sunset Catamaran cruise. We were so excited to finish the day with a champagne toast and the Hilton fireworks show from the boat. Great music, great group of happy passengers, the sailing crew were vibing with us. It was a beautiful night.

The only thing wrong was my new husband's foot was bleeding. The staff will tell you to take off your shoes before the short walk on the beach to clamber onto the boat. Rethink removing your shoes. We don't know what he stepped on, but he sheared off some skin. Now he can't walk, drive or work according to the wound care specialist. We have been home for 3 weeks and he's still showering with a bag over his foot.

Despite the barefoot calamity, the ease of booking was great. The price was reasonable. The boat was clean and comfortable. Everything was on point. I truly would recommend this cruise to just about anyone.

Getting married in Hawaii was the absolute best. The wedding, the sunset, the boat, champagne, fireworks... it was almost a Perfect day!!

Waikiki Friday Fireworks Sail with Beers & Cocktails Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Consistently Great Service

Reviewed by: R Winkler

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.

Waikiki Friday Fireworks Sail with Beers & Cocktails Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Great View

Reviewed by: Mayra

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

Waikiki Friday Fireworks Sail with Beers & Cocktails Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Friday Night Fireworks on the ocean!!

Reviewed by: Gretchen

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.

Waikiki Friday Fireworks Sail with Beers & Cocktails Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

10/10 Firework View with Ke Kai

Reviewed by: Kevin Park

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.

Beautiful night

Reviewed by: Magic night

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.

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Fireworks & Moonlight Sail with Open Bar

Mai Tai’s and Fireworks ~ great combination!

Reviewed by: Dvbatman

Great experience, the staff on the boat were really personable and experienced.
Reminder to those going on the catamaran, wear shorts or something you don’t mind getting wet, no denim or something that will take. Whole to dry as you have to walk through the water to get on the boat and you have to time the stair climb with the waves.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. The instructions on where to check in were clear and there was a water tap to rinse our feet off after which was nice. This catamaran was smaller than any others I had been on which was great for easy on and off. The mai tai’s were really good too!! Much better than some of the hotel bars we have had.

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

Waikiki Friday Fireworks - it's a must!

Reviewed by: Jan Ferguson

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!

Awesome cruise!

Reviewed by: Jay

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!

花火鑑賞セーリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 <金曜日限定/アウトリガー・リーフ発>

There aren't enough seats, are there? 席 足りないですよね・・・

Reviewed by: Yoshiko

I had completed the check-in early, but when moving from the reception counter to the boat, I ended up towards the back. Once on board, there were no seats available! A few of us had no choice but to stand near the captain as we set sail. It would have been fine during the day, but standing on the deck in the darkness after sunset was unsettling... I thought I would never do that again.

After the fireworks, I was able to secure a vacant seat, and we had a great time singing "Can't Help Falling In Love" together while feeling a bit tipsy. In any case, I recommend not lagging behind when moving to the boat.

チェックインは早く済ませていたのですが、受付カウンターからボートに移動する際に後ろのほうになってしまい、乗船してみると既に座る場所なし!仕方なく数人はキャプテンの近くに立ったまま出航になりました。昼間ならよいのですが、陽が落ちた後の暗闇の中をデッキに立ったままのセイリングは不安定で・・・二度と御免だと思いました。
花火後は空席を確保できたので、いい感じに酔った皆で「Can't Help Falling In Love」を合唱するなど、楽しかったですが。とにかくボートへの移動時に遅れをとらないことをお勧めします。
