Pub Crawl
Thursday evening

Join fellow conference attendees for this popular IALLT tradition. Just a short walk (0.6 mile) from the Ala Moana Hotel are three different watering holes! The Irish Rose Saloon, Suzie Wong’s Hideaway, and Waikiki Brewing Company are within two blocks of each other, so you can pick your favorite vibe for the evening, or easily check out all three places at your own pace.

You might also want to check out Mai Tai’s on the fourth floor terrace of the Ala Moana Center, or Pint + Jigger in the lobby of the Ala Moana Hotel.

Join us for an evening of relaxation and great views from the decks of the Majestic during this 90-minute cocktail and fireworks cruise. Enjoy a complimentary welcome cocktail and the option to purchase other hand-crafted cocktails from the full-service bar while you soak in breathtaking views from the air-conditioned lounge. Don’t miss the top-level deck which offers 360-degree, open-air views of Waikiki’s famous coastline as the city comes to life with its glimmering evening lights. Feel free to roam all three levels of our spacious ship to get a front row seat to Oahu’s stunning fireworks show. See this vibrant display from a whole new perspective as the colorful lights reflect off the sea. Kick back and enjoy the live entertainment too.

Or select the dinner cruise option for only $30 more! This buffet style dinner menu is hosted in a semi-private space that includes reserved seating. The local favorites menu includes options such as oriental chicken salad, beef broccoli, mochiko chicken, teriyaki beef, chicken katsu, fried fish, house noodles, and white rice.  (Menu subject to change without notice and no substitutions. Please be aware that, unfortunately, this is not a vegetarian-friendly menu.) After dinner, join your conference colleagues on the other decks of the Majestic.

*We must have a minimum of 30 participants for the dinner option. If we fail to meet this minimum, your ticket will be converted to a standard cruise with a refund of $30.

FLEAT 8 Closing Event – $50
Saturday evening, Ala Moana Center

Do you like piña coladas? Getting caught in the rain? Come with us and Escape! We’ll start the evening with dinner (not included) in the Ala Moana food court, choosing from options such as Mr. Cow, Seoul Mix, Musubi Cafe Iyasume, Mahaloha Burger, and Mana Sandwiches. As dinner progresses,  each 8-person team will be escorted to The Escape Game for an immersive, multi-room 60-minute themed challenge. Will you pull off the perfect museum heist? Find the gold in the prospector’s cabin? Or, in perhaps the scariest scenario, escape from a fourth grade classroom in time for the kickball game?! At the conclusion of your hour, your team will rejoin the others for optional celebratory refreshments.
