We had an amazing time with Go Hawaii Watersports! Although we left a few minutes late due to final check-ins (there were about 50 of us or a little more), it was completely understandable. The boat was super clean, the staff was absolutely amazing, and they even offered complimentary snacks. They took music requests and really set a fun vibe—some of the staff even came down and danced with us! The fireworks went off beautifully, and the young crew was very knowledgeable and professional. Out of 10, I honestly give them a 12. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting!

Sunset cruise canceled No Notice
ROSE_F, Oct 2025
The sunset portion of the cruise was canceled with no notice. We arrived to go on the sunset cruise and informed that we would be leaving an hour later than planned and only see fireworks for 5 minutes. We canceled as did many others who were equally frustrated to have been misled. We did request a full refund.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Aloha, We’re very sorry for the disappointment you experienced with your sunset cruise. Unfortunately, we occasionally have to adjust or cancel trips due to weather-related safety concerns, as the safety of our guests and crew is always our top priority. We truly regret that this change happened with such short notice and understand how frustrating that must have been. Your feedback helps us improve our communication, and we appreciate your understanding. We’re glad you requested a full refund and our team will ensure it’s processed promptly. Mahalo for sharing your experience, Go Hawaii Watersports
its a good experienced,...
Melody_F, Sep 2025
its a good experienced, the only thing is too long hanging on the ocean to watch a 5 minute fireworks.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Aloha, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're really glad to hear you had a good experience overall. While the fireworks are certainly a highlight, many of our guests tell us that the extended time out on the ocean is one of the most enjoyable parts of the evening. It’s a chance to unwind, take in the stunning views of the coastline, feel the ocean breeze, and enjoy the company of others in a truly unique setting. We hope the peaceful cruise and relaxing atmosphere added to the magic of the night, and we'd love to welcome you back on board for another unforgettable evening soon! Mahalo Go Hawaii Watersports

You lied to get a booking
Adam_H, Jul 2025
Booking stated there would be no $7 fuel surcharge yet I was charged $14 for both my friend and I at check-in AND it also stated that there would be an underwater viewing room to see marine life below, there wasn’t !
Response from Host, Jul 2025

We’re also very sorry to hear you didn’t get to enjoy our underwater viewing room. It is one of the highlights we love offering our guests, and we regret that you weren’t made aware of its location or availability during your cruise. Your experience is very important to us, and we’ll be sure to reinforce this with our crew so they can better guide and assist guests in the future.

Awesome Fireworks Cruise
Michael_N, Jun 2025
We kept hearing that the best way to watch the Friday fireworks was from the water. Viator had a great option with Go Hawaii Watersports on a catamaran. We arrived at the dock about 6 pm and the line to the check-in was very long. It was no fault of GHW; it was because nobody ready a freaking email fully anymore. They had to complete their waivers at the dock instead of prior. Okay, enough of that. We were ushered down the dock to this lovely boat. There were numerous dem hands to help us on board. We grabbed a seat up top. Although the website suggested BYOB, quickly the captain advised all the drinks and snacks were free! A There were Mai Tias and various soft drinks as well as bagged sweet and salty snacks. Hard to believe they could do this for such a reasonable price. The entire crew was great! They took customer pictures and delivered Mai Tais and snacks, even on the upper deck as the boat bobbed in the water. The tour did not disappoint. There was a beautiful sunset and we could see the city and Diamond Head in the distance. The night turned into a family party with everyone laughing and chatting with each other and the crew. And no joke - it was the place to see the fireworks. So good from that angle. Wonderful end to end. Use Go Hawaii Watersports for this and any other watersport needs. You even get a 20% discount on future bookings!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Aloha, Mahalo nui loa for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a memorable evening on our Friday fireworks cruise, from the beautiful sunset and city views to the festive atmosphere on board. We're glad you enjoyed the complimentary drinks and snacks, and we appreciate your understanding about the check-in delays. You're absolutely right, completing waivers ahead of time makes for a smoother start, and we always aim to keep things as seamless as possible. Our crew works hard to create a fun, welcoming environment, and it’s great to hear they helped make your night special, even delivering Mai Tais to the upper deck! It sounds like you experienced exactly the kind of laid-back, unforgettable evening we strive to provide. Thank you again for the glowing recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back on the water — and don’t forget to use that return guest discount! With warm aloha, The Go Hawaii Watersports ‘Ohana
Awesome experience!
Sandra_F, Jun 2025
The crew was very friendly and accommodating. The boat was not crowded which made the fireworks able to be seen. We loved the experience!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Aloha, Mahalo for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you had a great time and enjoyed the fireworks—there’s nothing like seeing them from the water with plenty of space to relax.

Amazing experience
Alyssa_R, May 2025
It’s honestly meant for anyone who does have seasick problems. Though it’s byob and kids around it doesn’t feel like it’s a bad mix. Everyone was having a good time, the friend groups, families, even the solo riders were having a great time. I went into this blindly and had the best experience. Staff was great. They gave out free snacks, drinks, and soda.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear that you had such a great time, even going in without knowing what to expect.

We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back aboard again soon!

Karyn_M, Apr 2025
The crew was great! Very friendly and engaging. Drinks were flowing. Appeared to be mostly people in their 20s and 30s. Maybe 2 kids. Rest were all adults.

A waste of money... or Coke in Mai Tai
John_E, Feb 2025
We were scheduled to leave at 530pm to see the sunset but left late well past 630pm so no sunset! The crew waited for a friend so that delayed us. The Captain never once explained why we were late and never apologized for what happened, she had her deck hands apologize for her. The captain also told us the we would leave harbor and head down towards Diamondhead to see the Waikiki light up as the sunset but since we left late and didn't see the sunset all we did was drive around in circles waiting for the fireworks. Additionally, they served alcoholic drinks but for the life of me I have never had a Mai Tai made with coke???? They had the premixed Mai Tai but added coke.... I won't be using their services again. Viator should refund me money for this trip. It was supposed to be a romantic Valentines day trip but it was a joke!
Waste of money
Nathalie_B, Jul 2024
We got on a tiny boat we didn’t book. The boat driver kept joking around, letting 2 of the other passengers drive the boat for few minutes who had no clue how to drive a boat in an already choppy surface which made the boat rock even more. I did not feel safe nor was this comfortable. I drive boats for my work and would never let an amateur drive with other passengers on board. Just not safe. We didn’t get a safety brief or nothing and this was a very small boat in choppy water. Very unprofessional.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

We really enjoyed the smaller group firework cruise. Since the boat a smaller, they were able to be closest to the fireworks in the water. The crew was amazing. We will definitely recommend and be back.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Aloha Marina! Thank you so much for joining us on our fireworks cruise! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed being closest to the fireworks on the water and that our crew made your experience amazing. We operate smaller boats because we believe that their intimate size offers the best opportunity to enjoy the fireworks up close, ensuring you get the ultimate view! Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for more memorable cruises in the future! Warm regards, Go Hawaii Watersports
Great Friday night harbor cruise
Jeanne_W, May 2024
Small boat, so not a huge crowd. Watched the sunset, before the fireworks. Captain Nick was very accommodating to my 80 year old mother, and a lot of fun for all of the guests. Definitely recommend for your family.
Response from Host, Jul 2024

Best way to watch fireworks!
Robin_L, Feb 2024
So much fun! Saw a whale and fireworks were awesome! We just loved Daniel and Ben! Do this! You will not be sorry! They took out 2 boats the night we went and since we were at the back of the line, there were only 6 people on our boat.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Aloha Robin, Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had so much fun and even had the opportunity to witness a whale sighting during your trip. It's always a special treat to see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. We're delighted that you enjoyed the fireworks as well!

Beautiful Scenery
Chris_G, Jan 2024
Seeing the fireworks from the water was very good. The people on the tour were from various places and we all got along, selecting music and talking about things. Sitting sideways the entire trip was a bit uncomfortable. The seating is designed to be on the edge of the boat. I'm a keen photographer and only took 8 photos - usually I'd take 100's and need to cull/edit after the event. We were charged an extra $7USD prior to boarding, as a 'fuel levy' - so have that ready. Definitely take a jacket / something warm, if you're going in winter. The chill off the water was noticeable. Plus if you sit at the front, there's a good chance you'll get a bit of sea spray. I enjoyed the experience. Just be aware that it's pretty basic. Literally watching the fireworks from a boat.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Aloha Chris, Mahalo for sharing your experience with us after the fireworks tour. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed seeing the fireworks from the water and that the camaraderie among guests added to the positive atmosphere. We appreciate your feedback regarding the seating arrangement, and we understand that it can impact the overall comfort, especially for keen photographers like yourself. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as it helps us consider improvements for the future. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the additional $7USD fuel surcharge, and we appreciate your understanding. Transparency is crucial, and we'll work on ensuring that such charges are communicated more effectively in the future. Your advice about bringing a jacket in winter is valuable for future guests, and we're glad you enjoyed the experience despite the basic nature of watching fireworks from the boat. If there's anything else you'd like to share or if you have further suggestions, please feel free to reach out. We value your input and hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable experience in the future. Mahalo, The Go Hawaii Watersports Team
