Beautiful boat ride at sunset! The music was fun, waves were calming, and the crew were so nice and knowledgeable. The fireworks were great, but the whole boat ride was lovely. Highly recommend!

Fireworks Watch

It was nice and chill. I do recommend to hold on to your belongings like phones and cameras because it’s a bumpy ride. A young woman dropped her phone and fell into the ocean on the way over. The staff is nice and friendly.

A trip from hell!

The day before this cruise was to happen the operator contacted me to inform me that they will be unable to sail due to a mechanical maintenance issue. We were given the option to rebook with another company, Oahu Boat Cruises. We were told that this cruise offers 30 minutes extra on the water and a complimentary drink. It was very difficult to find their office to sign in and when we did we were told that we were in the wrong place. It wasn't until we went back that they acknowledged that they were operating the Firework Cruise. We were informed that the music would be loud but at that point we decided to go ahead since we already paid for parking. The operator told us to sit in the front of the boat to be far from the speakers. The pontoon boat did not leave until 7:45. The fireworks were scheduled for 8PM. We were nowhere near Waikiki Beach at 8PM and no one noticed the fireworks until it was halfway over. The music was extremely loud and we did not escape it sitting in the front of the boat. We also did not escape the waves breaking over the front and flooding the first half of the boat. Our feet got wet and more importantly we were not able to move our backpack fast enough to prevent it from getting soaked. We had our cameras in there. The free drinks were awful. We questioned the safety of providing drinks and have people dancing on a small boat while the floor was flooded and it was bouncing in the ocean. The boat operator was frequently distracted with the young ladies. Several times he focused his attention at the back of the boat, watching the parting taking place there. We returned to the dock at 9PM which was 45 minutes less than we were supposed to have on the water. Soon after that evening I sent an email to the original company to express our experience and did not receive a response. A week later I followed up with a phone call and I have yet to hear back from them. Very dissatisfied!

Response from Host, May 2024

We are deeply saddened that you did not get the experience you were expecting and regret any disappointment you experienced. In an attempt to compensate, we have fully refunded your group for your troubles. We are deeply sorry again and will not be using this company any longer should the need arise. We value our guests' safety and experience and would never want to compromise that. We really hope that we may have another chance to earn your trust again in the future. Mahalo

Amazing Fireworks!

Leticia_T, Jan 2024

Finding the boat was a little tricky. Plan to arrive at least 30-45 minutes early to find parking. The crew was very helpful. We had a great evening & the fireworks were amazing. Thank you!
