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

A great experience: fireworks up close!

Reviewed by: Sybil & Didi

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.

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

View blocked! :(

Reviewed by: Disappointing

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.

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>

It was a bit wild, but I enjoyed it. 少しワイルドだが楽しめた

Reviewed by: こーじ

When boarding, it's better to wear sandals and shorts as your feet might get a little wet. There’s no roof, so you can enjoy the open air, and the ride is a bit wild with loud music playing, allowing you to fully experience a sense of adventure. When the fireworks are going off, there are no lights or sound inside the boat, but for a short time, you can enjoy the fireworks from the deck. You might want to bring a small towel, as your feet will get wet and sandy when disembarking.

乗船の際に少し足が濡れるので、サンダルでショートパンツで行った方が良いです。
屋根が無いので開放感があり、運転も少しワイルドで、音楽もガンガンかかってて、非日常感を十分味わえると思います。
花火が打ちあがっている時は船内の照明や音響もなく、短い時間ではありますが船上の花火を楽しめました。
下船時に足が濡れて砂まみれになるので、小さいタオルなど持参した方が良いかもしれません。

Amazing view of fireworks!

Reviewed by: Jas

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!

Waikiki Sunset Dinner & Fireworks Sail with Cocktails - Spirit of Aloha Cruises

I wouldn’t go again.

Reviewed by: Guest

It was good, but I wouldn’t go again. I thought we signed up for a luao, a nice dinner, and a bigger boat that wouldn’t roll as much. This had a small take out dinner, dance music that felt like we were at the bar and the workers pushed for you to drink alcohol. In other words, this trip wasn’t attended to go as a family trip.

Besides the expectations going in - it was good, just wouldn’t go again. That’s not our scene.

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>

Yacht, fireworks viewing, cocktail party. ヨットで、花火鑑賞、カクテルパーティー

Reviewed by: リッキー

The staff at the Outrigger's Holokai Catamaran were very pleasant, and once we set sail, the crew's service was also wonderful. We enjoyed the swells on the yacht while sipping rum mixed with passion fruit juice.

Around 7:30, the fireworks from the Hilton began, and we got more cocktails from the all-you-can-drink option, which added to the excitement.

As Japanese people, we might be a bit shy, but we enjoyed the cheerful and lively atmosphere created by the Western guests.

It became a very good memory. Thank you!

アウトリガーのホロカイカタマラン受付スタッフの対応が感じ良くて、出航すると、船頭?さんたちの対応が、また、素晴らしく、ヨットで波によるうねりを楽しみながら、ラム酒のパッションフルーツジュース割りをいただきました。
7時半過ぎ位から、ヒルトンの花火が始まり、飲み放題のカクテルをおかわりして、盛り上がりました。
我々日本人は恥ずかしがり屋かもしれませんが、西洋人の方々の陽気で明るい、多騒ぎを楽しませてもらいました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

Great Fireworks Cruise

Reviewed by: Brad S

My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. The weather was pleasant and the fireworks and the views of the city at night were spectacular. The food was good and the drinks were very good. The sailboat was clean and comfortable. We both felt that the captain and crew did a really nice job. We would do it again if we if we ever go to Oahu.

It was fun, but not meant for minors. This was a firework cruise, with an open bar. I just didnt realize it would be less minors and more abou the open bar. Which is my own fault. the crew was great.

Feel the breeze of Hawaii. ハワイの風を感じる

Reviewed by: TOSI

Choosing this activity on the first day of my trip was a great decision, especially considering the jet lag (I have snorkeling, surfing, and skin diving planned for the next day).

Since I was the first to arrive at the meeting point and there were no signs indicating the location for Veltra, I was a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. However, a staff member came out from the building, but I thought it would be nice to have some kind of flag or sign.

Fortunately, the meeting point was close to the Outrigger Reef hotel, and the check-in process went smoothly. However, there were other groups from different countries that arrived late, which made us wait quite a bit. It felt a bit frustrating since I had arrived early. But I guess that's just how it is internationally.

No one was wearing masks. The sense of freedom from not wearing a mask was incredible. At first, I wondered if it was really okay, but I gradually got used to it.

I couldn't understand the crew's explanations in English, but they were very considerate towards the Japanese participants, so there were no issues. It felt like we could enjoy ourselves even without a common language, as we shared beers and had fun together. However, I always feel that I should have studied more English. If I understood the language better, it would have been even more enjoyable. (I'm currently looking for a translation app.)

However, it felt like I was being welcomed by the sea, wind, air, scenery, and fireworks of Hawaii. This is a wonderful activity to fully enjoy the eternal summer of Hawaii's ocean. I highly recommend it.

時差ボケなどもあるだろうからと、旅行初日に本アクティビティを選択し正解でした(次の日からシュノーケリング、サーフィン、スキンダイビングが控えています)。
集合場所に一番乗りだったため、ベルトラの集合場所という表示も何もないため、ここで本当に良いのか不安でした。担当員が建物の中から出てきてくれましたが、何かのぼり旗のような表示があればいいのになと思いました。
しかし、ホテル(アウトリガーリーフ)からも集合場所が近く、スムースに受付もできました。が、他国の遅れてくるグループがありだいぶ待たされました。せっかく早めに行ったのにという感じでした。が、それがインターナショナルなんでしょうね。
マスクをしている人はいません。マスクからの解放感は半端ないです。最初は本当にいいのかなという感じでしたが、次第に慣れていきます。
クルーの説明は英語で理解できませんでしたが、日本人にもクルーが大変気を使ってくれて何も問題はありません。ビールを飲んで一緒に盛り上がりましょうという感じで、言葉は通じなくても楽しめます。が、もっと英語を勉強しておけばよかったといつも痛感します。言葉がわかれば、もっと楽しいのになって。(今通訳アプリなどを探しています)
しかし、ハワイの海、風、空気、景色、そして花火で歓迎を受けているようでした。常夏のハワイの海を満喫できるすばらしいアクティビティです。おすすめです。
