All Reviews for Sunset Cruises

We liked this. There were very few food options. The crew were friendly and the view stunning.

Should have offered a soda with dinner. The complimentary Mai tai was nice.

Lovely cruise. Drinking champagne while watching a pair of humpback whales who just happened to show up "perform". The sunset was also nice. The staff and crew were fine and on time.

It was a great experience. I would like to do it again. great staff on board very well organised , and the show was amazing, good to see that great atmosphere. Thank you so much to give us that great night we will remember my 50th birthday.

You can enjoy sailing until sunset in the best location. However, while we were surrounded by lively foreigners enjoying the party atmosphere with Mai Tais, our family, being quiet Japanese, couldn't quite get into the mood... But after disembarking, we had all been holding it in, so everyone headed straight to the restroom at the Sheraton Hotel.

最高のロケーションで夕日が沈むまでのセイリングを満喫できます。
ただ、マイタイを飲みながらパーティー気分でノリノリの外国人の中で、無口な日本人の私たち家族はずっと雰囲気に乗り切れないままでしたが・・でも下船後はトイレを我慢していたので、全員がシェラトンホテルのトイレに直行でした。

We had a wonderful time, very entertaining! Would recommend to others.

I spent a few hours researching activities to do during our honeymoon to Maui. We decided that due to the exorbitant cost of drinks in any resort or restaurant we decided that an open bar cruise was going to be a great and cost effective experience.

I wasn't disappointed! The cruise was absolutely awesome. We saw at least 25 whales throughout the course of the evening which was fantastic.

The drinks were top notch as well. They had a huge number different top shelf liquors and made great drinks all night.

The crew was fantastic. They went over the top to take care of everybody's needs and made sure everyone was having a great time. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone that wants to see gorgeous views, enjoy great drinks, and have an awesome crew.

We participated as a couple. We enjoyed views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the nearby sea, and we witnessed the most beautiful sunset while sipping delicious Mai Tais! However, the experience before boarding and after disembarking was the worst. The meeting place was unclear, and it was hard to identify who the staff member was. There was no guidance even after the meeting time had passed. After guessing and asking around, we finally figured it out. The pre-boarding instructions were only in fast-paced English, making them almost impossible to understand. We were also forced to take photos before boarding. Upon disembarking, we were made to line up to buy those photos, and my wife, who needed to use the restroom, was left frustrated. The event itself was very enjoyable, but I think I would prefer a different yacht next time.

夫婦で参加しました。ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを近くの海から眺め、また最高の日没を拝め、おいしいマイタイを頂戴しました！が、乗船前、下船後が最低でした。集合場所はあいまい。誰が担当者か分からず。集合時間が過ぎても案内がなく。見当をつけて声をかけてようやく判明。乗船前の説明は早口の英語のみでほとんど理解不能。乗船前には強制的に写真撮影。下船時にはその写真を売りつけるために並ばされ、トイレに行きたい家内は顔をシロクロ。イベントそのものはたいへん楽しいですが、次回は別のヨットにしたいと思います。

I went to Hawaii with my parents for my brother's wedding. There were no other Japanese people besides us. However, the scenery was amazing. This time, we will be on our honeymoon. I will definitely return.

弟の結婚式でハワイに行ったときに親と一緒にいきました。私たち以外日本人はいなかったです。
でも、景色は最高でした＞＞
また今回はハネムーンできます。
リピーターします。

It was not the boat we paid for, food was average, tables were small and crowded, music was distortion,

We enjoyed the views and the hospitality of the crew! So do it again next trip!

Drinking a Mai Tai while watching the wonderful sunset from off Waikiki. It feels amazing! I want to experience it again.

ワイキキ沖から素晴らしい夕陽を見ながらマイタイを飲む。
サイコーな気分です！また体感したいと思っています。

I participated with my American friend. It was a wonderful cruise. The food was excellent. The timing was just right.

アメリカ人の友人と参加しました。とても素晴らしいクルージングでした。料理も最高でした。時間的にもちょうど良い配分でした。

We had a fantastic time and a great meal. The entertainment was also great. I would recommend this to anyone - couples or famalies.

We booked this cruise as a celebration for our engagement, and could not have been more pleased with the experience. The boat left a little later than posted, closer to 5:15, but it was good that they told us to arrive at 4:45 so we were not late, and others didnt slow us down. The crew welcomed us, gave us a run down on emergency procedures and rules, and we set sail! It was gorgeous out on the water. Jason, our captain, kept everyone informed and excited about the whales around us. We really appreciated that. They gave us a shout out over the PA for our engagement, and everyone toasted to our happiness. The crew, bartenders, captain and staff all made us feel special. The food was delicious, especially the shrimp and the artichoke dip. Full open bar (no champagne, but great wine and booze selection) and cheese platters, fruit, dessert. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Aloha, we (my boyfriend and I) are residents of Maui and attended the pride of Maui dinner/cocktail cruise for my pre birthday celebration this past Saturday. It was quite enjoyable despite the larger swells as we headed out along the coast. The food was fantastic, the crew was friendly and the bar was all you can drink so we were content. We enjoyed the experience for the deal that we were able to receive but I beleive if we had to pay full price we wouldn't have enjoyed it as much and would hope to expect more out of the experience. No one can help the weather or the ocean conditions but it felt like we were on a snorkeling boat standing up or sitting with no table eating dinner so it was a little steep in my opinion.

I really enjoyed the cruise. They started on time and I didn't have any issues confirming my seat through this website. I was on their list promptly. It lasts roughly two hours and the first 15 minutes generally consists of a safety briefing before everyone gets started. The crew was very informative and they allowed you to fully walk the boat as well as take pictures while you are stirring the boat. The sunset itself was beautiful and we happen to catch a few whales while out there. Overall it was well worth the experience. It's definitely a little pricy however if you are looking for a good cruise, this should definitely be something you consider.

We got a free shuttle bus from Waikiki but arrived in the harbor an hour earlier. I don't know why the driver pick us so early. We just stayed in the harbor and took pictures of us to kill the time. After we had done the tour, we needed to go back to the hotel by ourselves by using the city bus.
Hospitality, food, drink and music were all good! If you are lucky, you can see whales during winter. (We couldn't see them.) Besides that, the sunset was beautiful and hilarious.
We suggest that you had better to bring sweater, jacket or whatever you like to wear in December and January as it is chilly and windy. Overall, we highly recommend you join this tour if you have enough time in Waikiki. If you don't expect too much, then this cruise is for you. The ship was small but it was okay for us to enjoy having dinner and seeing the sunset.

It was windy and chilly because we joined this tour in the end of December. We thought Hawaii is hot even in winter but it wasn't. Early morning and evening was chilly. Jackets or sweaters are must! My dad felt bad as he wore short sleeves and short pants. I saw some people had sea sick. Some of them were lying on the chair and did nothing. One of the staffs take them and told them to breathe a fresh air. I realized staffs were considerate and generous. Besides, food was good. They had six dishes, which were teriyaki chicken, white rice, broccoli with beef, vegetable burritos, macaroni salad, and cookies. Everything was fine.I think teriyaki chicken was the best. Most of the dishes were cooked with vegetables so everybody can enjoy having dinner. However, the dinner would be better if all the food was hot until we started to eat.
Overall, We highly recommend you take long sleeves if you will join the cruise in winter. The sunset was beautiful and was the last time to see in 2014.(We're suppose to join the cruise on 30th but it was cancelled due to a bad weather. So, we did it the following day instead.) I guess all generations can enjoy this cruising!

Great time. Crew was fun and enjoyed the beverages and sunset. Would definitely do again.

My wife and I purchased the tickets last minute, and we had a great time. We took the sunset cruise, and it was truly amazing to watch sunset on the sea. They had great music along with the ride on the way, they serve nice cocktail, the crew were in good control of the cruise and friendly.

Note that some people got motion sick since we had waves on the sea. Take warm jacket if you decide to watch sunset as it gets cold and windy after sunset.

Great staff, beautiful scenery, we even saw a whale breech! Highly recommend this cruise!

We had a great time on the sunset fireworks cruise. We had a friendly crew and the food was pretty good. I would definitely recommend this cruise.

Well worth the money. I love the food. Everybody was very courtious and helped every way they could. All the staff was so helpful to us. My fiance is in wheelchair and they helped in every possible way. We got to have captain help us up to top floor to see fireworks. What an experience I couldn't tell u anything bad about this. They let u smoke on top of ship which is a good nerve helper. I would totally do it again

It was well beyond my expectations food great views great, fireworks great, hawaiian dancing great. Well worth the money. Staff very friendly

This year, at my father's request after he experienced illness and surgery, we went on a trip to Hawaii. Since my parents usually don't express gratitude to each other, I surprised them by booking this option.

The captain's ceremony was entirely in English, so I did my best to translate the important points with my limited English skills, and they seemed to understand somewhat. Afterward, I was worried when my father fell silent, but suddenly he started to cry and expressed his gratitude.

The food was even better than expected, and the show was plentiful, keeping us entertained beyond the scheduled time. There was even a show at the end that brought everyone on the ship together, and I was more satisfied than I had imagined.

Thank you very much. Now that I am back home, I would like to give my parents a letter with the captain's vow along with photos from the vow renewal ceremony. I would be even happier if you could provide that information.

今年病気と手術を経験した父の希望もあり、ハワイ旅行へ行きました。
普段はなかなか感謝を伝え合わない両親なので、サプライズでこのオプションを申込みました。
キャプテンのセレモニーは全文英語のため、私の拙すぎる英語力で大事なポイントはなんとか和訳して伝え、何となく理解はしてくれました。その後、父は黙りこんでしまったため不安でしたが、突然涙を流して感謝してくれました。
お料理も予想以上においしく、ショーもたっぷり、時間を越えてまで楽しませてくれました。
最後は船内が一体となるようなショーもあり、想像以上に満足でした。
ありがとうございました。
帰国した今、改めてバウリニューアル時の写真と共に、キャプテンの誓いの言葉を両親に手紙で渡したいのですが、お教えいただくことができれば、なお嬉しいです。

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Sunset Dinner Cruise was worth every penny!!!! As Kamaaina, my husband and I enjoy participating in various so called "tourist" activities. Not everyone who lives in Hawaii has a boat...so activites that offer ocean fun is very appealing. The trip started with a very comfortable pick up and ride aboard a full sized air conditioned bus. The driver was even early for pick-up. Ocean Joy fulfilled our every need from the moment we arrived at the check-in location to the time we departed the boat. The staff were very attentive and informative. The food was plentiful and the bar was flowing. We experienced one of the best views of our local sunset and even got to see a whale breach off the side of the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii and other "Locals" who are looking for new things to do.

The Five Star Cruise was a wonderful way to watch the Friday fireworks. The staff were great and the food was superb. It was well worth opting for the 5 star option. A must when you are on holiday, especially on the extended Friday cruise.

My wife and I did this as part of our honeymoon. And even though it was a cloudy evening and we didn't get to see the sunset, we still really enjoyed the trip. The crew was very personable and friendly. And even in choppy seas, the ride was smooth and peaceful. Got to see Waikiki from a different perspective, being on the ocean, and all lit up at night. The food was good, but the only thing that I would change is that the food could have been warmer. Overall an enjoyable time and I would recommend.

This was my first time in Hawaii. I wanted to watch the sunset from the sea and debated between a dinner cruise, but I chose this one because it was reasonably priced.

As everyone mentioned, the meeting place was hard to find. I saw a JTB representative walking around at the Sheraton, so I called out to them for directions.

Feeling the wind and seeing Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from the sea was an entirely different view that excited me, and the sunset sinking into the horizon was beautiful.

We all burst into laughter when we saw a foreigner who was completely soaked after getting splashed while taking pictures with their iPad and smartphone. The atmosphere on the boat was fun, especially with some drinks involved.

初ハワイです。海からサンセットを眺めたくてディナークルージングと迷いましたが値段も手頃なこちらに参加しました。
皆さん書かれてる通り集合場所が分かり難かったです。シェラトンでJTBの人が歩いて居たので思わず声をかけて教えて貰いました。
風を感じて海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街はまた景色が全然違って興奮したし、水平線に沈む夕日も綺麗でした。
ネットの上でiPadやスマホで夢中に写真を撮っていた外国人が思いっきり水しぶきを被ってビショビショになった姿を見て皆で爆笑が起きたりと船上もお酒が入ってる事もあり楽しかったです。
