Overview

Every Friday night, the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on a beautiful fireworks display. Rather than watching them from the beach, take to the water for a front-row view on this evening cruise off Waikiki Beach. Plus, enjoy an open bar, making this a fun and affordable way to kick off the weekend. This is a great option for families and group celebrations such as birthdays and bachelorette parties.

Great staff that went over and beyond our expectations. They were kind, considerate, and helpful throughout the process from making reservations to ensuring the boat trip was safe and enjoyable. The fireworks were spectacular. Thanks to the staff for all the fun!!!

not worth the money

Bithania_A, Sep 2026

the drink selection was minimal and there was only one cocktail that tasted like diluted juice. it was very difficult to get onto the actual boat you have to walk on the sand and they don’t assist anyone that is having trouble doing so. they should have a hard surface to help people get across the sand especially considering a lot of the people on the cruise are elderly folks. the cruise was not that interactive the bartender chimed in every now and then but it was mostly a whole lot of nothing. overall if you are okay with wasting your money and an hour of your life doing absolutely nothing, this is the cruise for you.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are truly sorry your experience fell short of expectations. Because our catamaran operates directly off the sand, barefoot loading through the sand and water is a core part of the experience, though we know it can be challenging for some guests. City regulations prevent us from placing temporary walkways on public sand. This particular sail is designed to be a casual, relaxed open-bar cruise focused on the fireworks and skyline view rather than a guided tour, but we hear your thoughts on the narration and drink selection and will be reviewing both with our team. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve.

Great trip

Was a very fun crew with fun sense of humor. Great position for fireworks and open bar. A little expensive for one hour.
