We had such a fun memorable experience watching fireworks from the ocean. The crew was super nice. Aleiah made our experience extra special. Refreshments were offered and safety was a priority.

Super cool and awesome!! Staff was very welcoming and friendly, especially Aleiah! She’s super duper sweet and I loved talking to her. We had a beautiful view of the fireworks. Overall, 10/10 experience.

PLZ GIVE ME MY REFUND. THEY CANCELED. Been waiting for my refund after they canceled the NIGHT OF!!!
Aloha, Angel We are very sorry that we had to cancel our fireworks last week for bad weather. Unfortunately, the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on the fireworks canceled the show and that is outside of our control. After getting off of the phone with you on Friday, we submitted for a refund right away. We tried reaching out to the phone number on file. Sometimes third-party platforms can be hard to get refunds from. We have sent you a time stamped confirmation of the refund. Please feel free to reach out if you’re having any further issues we have tried calling texting and emailing. We are a very small family run business and you’re welcome to call us anytime. I personally respond to our reviews and answer our phone calls. Chelsea 808-638-4800
Ask for clear instructions on where to meet/pier. Fireworks are only about 5 minutes…A little underwhelming overall…crew and captain were friendly
After carefully reading the experience description, I reached out ahead of time to confirm the vibe. I specifically asked whether it would be more of a party atmosphere or a quieter boat ride, and I was assured it would be upbeat—which is what our group was looking forward to after a long work week. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match those expectations. The atmosphere was very low-key, with minimal music and no real “party” energy. which was fine, but we were told otherwise prior to booking. In addition, the total time on the boat was pretty short as we were onboard for no more than about 30 minutes, rather than the expected 1 hour and 15 minutes. After the show, I felt we should have been able to stay on the boat. For the price of $65, that felt disappointing, especially since we had planned to relax and enjoy our time, and the drinks we brought, on the water. The refreshments were also more limited than described. it would have been helpful if the listing had clarified that offerings would be very light. Overall, the experience didn’t feel worth the cost given the shortened duration and mismatch in expectations. Had we known, we likely would have chosen to watch the fireworks from the beach instead.
This was advertised as approx. 1.45 min, but ours was 1 hour 5 min. The crew was great, however we would have picked a longer cruise had we known it was this short. They also had 2 boats going out, so maybe that was why the check-in took longer. Don’t forget to bring alcohol, as it’s not served or for sale. They state that, but several on boat didn’t realize that. We did see an amazing full moon above Diamond Head and it was nice to see Waikiki from the water at night.
First, the boat left too late to catch the sunset. We were to leave at 7:00 but we pulled out of the slip at 7:15. It was too late for the best view of sunset. They advertised pop/soda, local juices, ice, cooler and cups provided. There were local juices only and I did get a cup after asking. The snack is just chips. The floor mats are a killer on your feet. You are required to leave your shoes behind, which I expected. Other boats I've been on were no shoes but with a different type of flooring. The cruise was advertised as 90 minutes approximately. We left at 7:15 and returned to the slip at 8:30. I was able to get a last minute booking for a fireworks cruise at an acceptable price.
Great cruise ,good price, would do again.
A must do. The crew was very friendly and made you feel welcome. It was small group which made the experience so much better.
Aloha!! Thank you so much for the wonderful review! Fireworks are so awesome to see from the water! Our crew is so much fun and we always enjoy an evening on the water. Thank you for spending your evening with the Charter Oahu Mermaid crew! We hope you enjoy the rest of your time on island!!!
