Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

• Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
• Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

• Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

BEST Waikiki catamaran: Friday Fireworks

By yestohawaii

Updated on December 26, 2023

In this article, we check out Port Waikiki Hilton Cruises for the Hilton Fireworks Sail, a two-hour cruise (6:00pm-8:00pm) departing from the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. We'll take you along with us as we explore the sunset, appetizers, drinks, and of course, the fireworks show.

This sunset and fireworks sail is a great way to spend a FRIDAY night in Waikiki.

Adventure At A Glance

Starting point:.

Port Hilton | Waikiki | OAHU

Group size:

Maximum: 60-guests

What's Provided:

2 complimentary alcoholic beverages per adult. Additional: $1 Beer and $2 per Wine/Cocktail! Appetizers.

Our Experience :

Watch youtube video.

Check out this YouTube video on our full trip

Check-in Process

The check-in process was easy. The boat is located right by the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, making it easily accessible if you're staying in Waikiki. This catamaran is a docked catamaran, meaning that you don't have to walk into the water to get on the boat (as you would with a beach catamaran). Check out this article for our comparison of docked catamarans vs. beach catamarans.

After a quick safety briefing, we were free to move around the boat.

Menu: Appetizers and Drinks

We headed to the boat to pick up our appetizers and drinks. The appetizers were super tasty and just the right amount of food for a light snack.

NOTE: The tour description explains this cruise as a dinner cruise. However, compared to other dinner cruises and due to portion sizes, we looked at this more as sail with appetizers rather than a full dinner – in our humble opinion.

Dinner Menu:  Deep-fried mahi mahi fish katsu with soy ginger aioli, Teriyaki chicken, Shoyu hot dog, and Steamed rice

Vegan & GF MealVeg:  Fire torched miso-glazed tofu with vegetables (advance notice is required)

Drinks:  Unlimited non-alcoholic beverages and two alcoholic drinks are included. A full bar is available and beers are $1.00, and wine and cocktails are $2.00

We sailed past Diamond Head Crater and along the skyline. It was absolutely stunning to watch the sunset from the water. The nets were a perfect area to hang out or have a few cocktails.

At 8:00pm, the fireworks show began. It was a short show that lasted about five minutes, but it was absolutely amazing to watch the fireworks from the water.

In the winter season, the Hilton Fireworks start a bit earlier at 7:45pm.

If you're looking for a relaxing evening in Waikiki, the Hilton Fireworks Sail is an excellent way to spend a Friday night.

Will we be sharing the cruise with other groups?

Is it possible to take the fireworks cruise on days other than Friday?

As the fireworks display in Waikiki is exclusively held on Fridays, the fireworks cruise is exclusively offered on this day as well.

Overall rating

My family has been to Hawaii the past 5 summers in a row. We always make sure that this is part of our trip. It is so much fun and good for the ages of our kids who are teens. We absolutely love the warm night air while ... watching the fireworks and the amazing view! The hosts are ALWAYS great and of course the drinks are a bonus! Thank you as always and we will be booking again in the near future!

Hurray for our 6th year on this amazing sail. This firework cruise remains a travel must for our family and never disappoints! Fun and professional! Mahalo

The only way to view fireworks

We had such a fabulous night on this cruise. The fireworks were fabulous but more importantly the hosts were great, funny and made the experience even better. Loved going for a sail afterwards and the maitais were delici ... ous. Thanks for an awesome night.
