Friday Fireworks

My husband and I took the cruise for the Friday night Waikiki fireworks and absolutely loved it. The staff was fun and friendly. You couldn’t beat the views of the sunset out on the water and the captain stopped at a great vantage point for the fireworks.

Friday fun firework facts

It was a great opportunity and overall a fun experience for my partner and I. A heads-up for getting there: arrive early. We were the last pickup with a scheduled time of 5:40. The two people before us missed their ride, and we started getting calls and texts at 5:19 with a 5-minute warning that we were about to be left. I was able to respond quickly and the driver kindly waited. (His system showed a 5:20 pickup while ours showed 5:40 — definitely a system mismatch.) Either way, the point is: be early so you don’t miss the ride! The captain and his team were friendly, and we left on time. A few things I realized in hindsight: • This is not a 21+ only tour. • They provide 2+ drinks per person plus snacks. The included alcoholic drinks are premade and very sweet. • You can bring your own preferred drinks. • You do go a good distance out into the ocean—waters can get choppy, and some people may get seasick. The fireworks were beautiful, and it was fun seeing the Waikiki hotels lit up against the night sky. For transportation afterward, our driver was very kind and dropped us directly at our hotel. Aloha

Friday night fireworks cruise

Short cruise out to see fireworks on Friday evening. Was good and did what it said on the tin. Worth considering as you get a good view.

Honolulu Fireworks on the water

Enjoyed the boat tour of the coastline! Staff was friendly and courteous. The music being played was somewhat vulgar and none kid friendly!. The fireworks were nice but lacked any real punch and ended way too soon! This boat trip is perfect for a young audience ready to party and have a great time on the water!

It was a great experience, super fun. Captain Jim was great. Big shout out to Riley (hopefully spelled right) she was friendly and helpful. My husband has a hard time walking and she went out of her way to make sure we got what we needed.

Sad

Expérience has been cancel for weather issue. But 5 minutes of fireworks does not deserve to spend so much money.

Relaxing

Loved being on the water and relaxing with a few drinks. The night sky was filled with amazing colors as the sunset. The staff were attentive and kept the party hopping . The fireworks were very good

Major Failure

Tried to phone this tour several times the day before and the day of the tour as requested regarding pick up but no answer. Contacted Viator and they sent a message to them-no response. There was confusion in pick up time and location so we went where Viator suggested we go. We were not picked up and missed the cruise! The tour company was certainly quick to contacted us to say that we were a no show and they would not issue a refund!!! THANKS FOR MAKING THE LAST DAY OF OUR TRIP SO MEMORABLE!!!

🌈 Aloha Cheryl, I understand you’re upset, but I’d like to clarify a few things. Our system automatically sends pickup information through email and text messages, and we also sent a reminder text from our main number the day of your tour. We didn’t receive any calls or missed messages from your number. Our pickup instructions are very clear, and most customers receive multiple reminders — sometimes they even complain they get too many! Because this was a no-show, and all instructions were delivered properly, unfortunately we cannot issue a refund. We appreciate your feedback and hope we can welcome you aboard in the future under better circumstances. Mahalo, E Sea Diver Team 🤙🏾
