Great Job To the Staff

Fireworks were nice, but that’s all

Michael_W, Sept 2023

Fireworks were nice. Boat, crew, refreshments, etc., were lousy. Overcrowded boat, scramble to find seating on benches, and terrible rum drinks that tasted like Kool Aid with vodka. Too expensive for what you get.

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Michael. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the fireworks, but we apologize for the issues you encountered with the boat's overcrowding and refreshments. Your feedback is important to us, and we will take it into account to improve our services. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a better experience.

Sunset/Fireworks cruise

Tamisha_P, Sept 2023

We did the Friday sunset cruise and the views were amazing and so was the firework show that we watched from the boat. I would recommend a better variety of music but other than that it was great. The staff were friendly and kept the kids occupied with glow stick necklaces, glasses and bracelets. The views from the ocean was my favorite part!

Response from Host, Sept 2023

Skyline views and sunset....

Valerie_L, Aug 2023

Skyline views and sunset. The crew was nice, especially Sue that helped us with getting drinks from downstairs. The stairs were tricky with transitioning from downstairs to upstairs with drinks but overall we had a good time. Sue was also very friendly and provided everyone opportunities for family/group photos at sunset

Disappointing service wouldn't do it again

Georg_F, Aug 2023

Unfortunately there was a elderly couple sitting at the back of the ship. She was walking with cane and he had a hard time walking, the crew not once checked on them. For part of the boatride they were sitting in a cloud of exhaust. The cruise came with 2 free drinks, the one that most people liked they were out of halfway through the cruise. Seating was very limited, even though the captain anounced that they had permit for 50 more people. Wouldn't do this cruise again.

10 out of 10 I don’t recommend

Cheryl_W, July 2023

The ride was pleasant. My pickup experience wasn’t good. I will tell anyone that comes to Hawaii the good and the bad. It was sad we couldn’t get picked up our hotel because that evening I had a large group 14 family members and we had to use 3 Ubers to pickup point. The bathroom was horrible no tissue and floor full of piss.

My time with E Sea Diver

Anke_W, July 2023

I had a wonderful time on my tour with E Sea Diver. I went on one of their Friday fireworks cruises with a few of my friends, and we all had a spectacular experience. Although I was initially hesitant to go, since I get seasick easily, it was well worth it. The boat ride was incredibly smooth, and the views were beautiful. The crew: Max, Sooa, and Brad, made us all feel so safe and welcomed. All in all, I highly recommend E Sea Diver, and would love to go on another cruise with them someday.

Fun

Sunny_K, June 2023

Wow! I went on the Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruise, and it was super cool! We hopped on a big boat and sailed out into the Pacific Ocean. The best part was watching the beautiful sunset in Hawaii from the middle of the ocean. But the most awesome part was when the fireworks started right in front of us! As the sun went down, we got more and more excited. The sky turned all different colors, and it was so pretty. And then, the fireworks started! They were amazing! The colors and shapes in the sky were so cool. It felt like a big celebration, and everyone was cheering and having fun. The crew made sure we had everything we needed and kept us entertained with fun stories and jokes. They even picked us up and dropped us off, so we didn't have to worry about getting there and back. Overall, the Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruise was a really fun adventure. The views were breathtaking, the sunset was beautiful, and the fireworks were incredible. I had the best time ever!

Staff great! Experience was just blah for the money.

Les_G, May 2023

The staff was great & friendly. I think for the money, I would of rather just got a good spot on the beach and watch the fireworks from there. The experience was exactly what is advertised, just didn't get blown away like I thought we would of.

Fireworks excursion sucked

Anonymous, May 2023

Don’t take this excursion the boat is not safe and it’s really a fishing boat. The drinks were horrible NO rum in the drink. The railing is unsafe and if u can’t get on top (25 people max) you can’t see the fireworks. Better to go to the Hilton Hawaiian Village ( the Bali restaurant) for the best view of the fireworks.

Response from Host, June 2023

We apologize for the negative experience you had during the excursion. Safety is of utmost importance to us, and we deeply regret if you felt that the boat was not safe or if the railing was inadequate. Your concerns will be taken seriously, and we will assess and address any safety issues to ensure the well-being of our guests. Regarding the drinks, we apologize if they did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide high-quality beverages, and we appreciate your feedback. We will review and improve our drink offerings to ensure a more enjoyable experience for our guests. We understand your disappointment regarding the limited capacity for optimal fireworks viewing from the top of the boat. Your suggestion of going to the Hilton Hawaiian Village's Bali restaurant for a better view of the fireworks is duly noted, and we appreciate your input. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconveniences you experienced. We will use your comments to improve our offerings and provide a better experience for future guests.
