All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

An overall outstanding experience! Food was good but not crazy good. Can’t have too high expectations for a buffet on a catamaran though. The crew was wonderful. Initially thought there would be too many people for the boat to be comfortable but there was plenty of space for people to move around and take the pictures they wanted. The sunset was amazing and the trip lasted the perfect amount of time. I didn’t feel like they were rushing us back but we weren’t out so long that we got bored. Would highly recommend overall!

Oahu is currently in the rainy season. It drizzled several times on the day of our outing, but we were able to set sail without any issues. When I glanced towards Waikiki, I encountered the miracle of a large rainbow stretching from the Waikiki hotels to Diamond Head!

On the yacht, since drinks were unlimited, everyone ordered their beverages, and the crew cheerfully opened several bottles of champagne while lively music played… it felt just like a club atmosphere!

The sunset was also beautiful as the clouds lit up, and when the sun went down, the night view of the Waikiki hotels was stunning, so I recommend it for those who are not averse to being on a boat.

However, since sunset cruises depart from various locations, be careful not to mix up the meeting point! I mistakenly went to the catamaran booth and realized it just before departure, so I ran along the beach to get to the Sheraton. However, the beach was interrupted along the way, so I had to enter one of the Waikiki hotels… and ended up getting lost. Thinking I might be late, I asked someone at a hotel bell desk for help, and kindly, that person ran with me to the meeting point, even though I couldn't speak English well.

I missed asking for their name or hotel name, so I wanted to express my gratitude and searched for them at nearby hotels after disembarking, but in the end, I couldn't find them.

It's unbelievable, but I hope this comment reaches them, and I can find out more details…

オアフ島は、今、雨季のシーズン。
当日も小雨が何度も降っていましたが、無事出航出来ました。
ふと、ワイキキ方向を見ると…何とワイキキホテルから、ダイアモンドヘッドにかけて大きな虹がかかるという奇跡に遭遇☆

ヨットの上では、飲み放題という事もあって、おのおの飲み物を注文したり、クルーも、景気良くシャンパンを何本か開けてくれ、ご機嫌な音楽もかかり…まるでクラブのようなノリでした*\(^o^)/*

肝心のサンセットも雲が焼けて、いい感じで☆陽が沈むとワイキキホテルの夜景も綺麗なので、船が苦手じゃない人にはおすすめですV(^_^)V

ただ、サンセットクルーズは、色々な場所から出ているので、待ち合わせ場所は、間違えないように‼︎
私は、カタマランブースを間違えて、直前に気づきビーチを走って移動。
シェラトンHを目指しましたが、途中ビーチが寸断されていたので、ワイキキホテルの中に入って…迷子になってしまいました。
間に合わないといけないと思い、どこかのホテルのベルデスクの人に助けを求めると…
親切にもその方は、英語がわからない私と一緒に、かなり走って集合場所に連れて行って下さいました。
名前もホテル名も聞きそびれてしまったので…
お礼が言いたくて、下船後近くのホテルを訪ねて探しましたが、結局わかりませんでしたσ(^_^;)

ありえない事ですが…このコメントを見て下さっていて、責めて詳細がわかるといいのですが…

Good overall experience, the sunset was okay but we had an amazing moon rise over Diamond Head! Crew was great! Thank you

On the last day of our family trip, we participated with our 8-month-old baby. We were able to fully enjoy the scenery of Waikiki at sunset and the night view! We were very satisfied.

家族旅行の最終日に、8ヶ月の乳児連れで参加しました。
ワイキキの夕暮れの風景から、夜景まで、満喫できました！とても満足でした。

I chose this sailing experience for my father, who loves yachts, to enjoy. The speed was faster than I expected, and since we were catching the wind, I didn't feel seasick. However, the prime spot at the front of the boat, where you can see the ocean, was occupied by another Japanese family, so my child was disappointed that they couldn't get closer. Additionally, I found the strong push for tips, separate from the tour fee, a bit disappointing.

ヨットが好きな父に楽しんでもらうため、このセーリングを選びました。
思ったより早い速度で進み、風を受けていたため、船酔いも大丈夫でした。
ただ先頭の海面を見渡せる特等席はもう一組の日本人家族が占拠してしまっていたため、うちの子どもは近づけず残念そうでした。
またツアー代金とは別にチップの要求アピールが強かったため、少し残念でした。

We did not really know what to expect when we booked this adventure. We had a group of 20 go with us and it was a lot of fun. The crew did a great job with serving us and as soon as we got on offered us a drink. It was nice to know they were checking ID's of the individuals that were close to 21 years old. We left Waikiki and headed out to diamond head and they continually offered each person a drink as soon as they ran out. It was a lot of fun sitting in the sun and hanging out with friends and we got a lot of pictures. the net sitting in the front of the boat was so much fun and if you have never done this you MUST sit in the nets for a couple splashes. We took video and frame by frame experience that we have posted on Facebook and we have so many people that love that picture and wanted to find out more details about where we did this as well as the cost.

My only suggestion it would be nice if the company had ideas were we could continue the party after we get off the boat (i.e., happy hour at Duke's from 3-6pm, etc)

When the waves are high, the height difference is quite significant, making it feel like an attraction, and it was really fun! It can be pretty intense, so if you get seasick, it might be better to skip it, haha.

The all-you-can-drink Mai Tais and champagne were incredibly delicious, and the two staff members were really wonderful!

There were hardly any Japanese participants; it was mostly foreigners, and when the music started, everyone began to dance, creating an amazing atmosphere that really pumped me up!!! I definitely want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii＾＾

The boat is relatively simple in design, and since you have to take off your shoes and climb up a ladder from the sea, flip-flops are the best choice!

波があるときは高低差がかなりあってアトラクションのようになって楽しかったです！けっこう激しいので船酔いする人はやめておいたほうが良いかもｗ

飲み放題のマイタイもシャンパンもすっごく美味しいし、スタッフのお兄さん二人もとっても素敵でした☆

参加者に日本人はほぼおらず外人の人ばかりで、音楽がかかるとみんな踊り出すしすごく盛り上がるしでめちゃくちゃテンション上がりました！！！またハワイに行ったときは絶対参加したいです＾＾

船はわりかし簡素というかシンプルな作りで、靴を脱いで海にかかったはしごから登っていくのでビーサンのがいいです！

I made a reservation for a Friday night with fireworks! The night view was really beautiful! The fireworks weren't huge, but it was great to see them at this time of year, as it's rare. Everyone on the tour spoke English as a standard, and I was a bit flustered because the reception area was a little hard to find, but just before it started, Japanese participants began to gather, which made me feel relieved.

花火のある金曜夜に予約して行きました！
夜景がほんとキレーに見えました〜！
花火はどかんと大きいわけじゃないですが、こんな時期に見れるのはレアで良かったです。
ツアーの人は皆英語が基準で、受付の場所がちょっと分かりづらかったので焦りましたが、始まる直前になると日本人参加者が集まってきたので安心しました。

The crew was warm and welcoming! It was a fun experience and the drinks were amazing. It’s a good way to spend a couple hours with family and friends while looking at the beautiful island. I will definetly do this cruise again!
I would say be prepared to get wet! I didn’t realize how much the waves can splash and would definetly wear a swimsuit next time instead of regular clothes.

I use this every time I come to Hawaii.
Seeing Honolulu from the sea is refreshing.
It felt amazing to experience the ocean breeze all over my body.
I got a bit wet, but that felt good too.
My elderly mother was with me, and she enjoyed it without any issues.

毎年ハワイに来る度に利用しています。
海から見るホノルルも新鮮ですよ。
海風を身体全体で感じる事が出来て最高に気持ち良かったです。
多少濡れますがそれも気持ち良いです。
高齢の母も一緒でしたが問題なく楽しんでいました。

The scenery was beautiful as well. It was unfortunate that it started to rain just before the fireworks, but seeing them up close was truly impressive.

景色もきれかったです。花火 直前に雨が降ってきて 残念でしたが 間近に見て すごく 感激しました。

After boarding, we took our seats, and the buffet meal and arrangements were smooth. The staff's response was good, allowing us to have a pleasant time. While waiting in line for the buffet, we were served pineapple juice. One downside was the long wait from after the meal until the fireworks, but the staff engaged us in conversation to keep us entertained. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks from our special seats on the boat.

乗船後、着席、ブッヘでの食事と段取りがスムーズでスタッフの対応も良く、気持ちが良く過ごすことが出来た。 ブッヘが行列ですくまで待つてると、パインジュースをサービスして頂きました。 食後から花火まで、かなりの時間を待つのが難点でしたが、退屈させないように、スタッフが色々と話しかけてくれました。 船上という特等席からの花火も充分楽しめました。

I booked my first sailing experience on a trip to Hawaii after a long time!

Since Friday was our last day and my child loves fireworks, I chose the option that included fireworks viewing.

However, from the title, I thought we would be watching the sunset before the fireworks, but we gathered after the sun had set, so we couldn't see the sunset.

It might have been a seasonal issue, but if you want to see the sunset, it might be better to choose an option without fireworks viewing!

My son was very happy, and it became a great memory!

久しぶりのハワイ旅行で初めてのセーリングを申し込みました！

金曜日が、ちょうど最終日だった事や子供が花火が好きだったこともあり、花火鑑賞付きにしました。

ただ、題名からだとサンセットを見てからの花火鑑賞なのかな？とおもっていたのですが、こちらに関しては日が落ちてからの集合だったのでサンセットは見れませんでした。

時期的な問題だったのかもしれませんが、サンセットをみたいのであれば花火鑑賞つきでない方がいいのかなとおもいました！


息子もとても喜んでいていい思い出になりました！

Although the weather was unfortunately cloudy, I was able to catch a glimpse of the sunset for a moment, and the night view of Waikiki was also visible. With music, drinks, and a pleasant sway, it was comfortable. There were a moderate number of Japanese people, and we were able to communicate while taking photos together. I definitely recommend this tour.

生憎の天気（曇り）でしたが、一瞬日が沈むところが観えたり、ワイキキの
夜景も見えて、音楽とお酒と心地よい揺れで、快適でした。適度に日本人も多く、写真を取り合いながら、コミュニケーションが取れました。是非、お勧めのツアーです。

Almost all of us were Japanese, and while enjoying Mai Tais and chatting with people from various countries, we had a wonderfully fulfilling time swaying gently on the calm waves while watching the sunset! There was a gentleman from the mainland United States who mentioned it was his eighth time participating, and I completely understood his feelings. I highly recommend it!

For those who don't drink Mai Tais, there were also non-alcoholic drinks, white wine, and canned beer available, along with small snacks to enjoy while taking in the sway of the boat.

I really recommend it!

9割近くが、日本人以で
マイタイをのみながら各国の人たちとも
会話を楽しみつつ、サンセットを見ながら穏やかな波に揺られて、すごく充実した時間を過ごせました！！
乗り合ったアメリカ本土から来られているおじさまは、8回目の参加って言ってましたが、
その気持ちがよーくわかりました。
おススメです！

マイタイ飲まない方用のアルコールフリードリンクや白ワイン、缶ビールも用意されていて、
小ぶりのスナック菓子ももらえておつまみいただきながら、船の揺れを楽しめました。

ホントおススメです。

The afternoon boat trip was so much fun. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was to much trouble. We watched the sun set and the drinks were flowing for the whole trip. We met some really nice people and the trip was a great part of our holiday

I'm SO glad we booked this! I will again, when I return!

Great boat trip, very friendly staff and drinks are flowing the whole trip. Really had a fun time and the weather was great and watched the sun setting on our sail. Recommend the trip to couples or families

The fireworks last only about 5 minutes, but the catamaran cruise with beautiful night views and unlimited cocktails was a lot of fun. You can enjoy it even without the fireworks.

花火はほんの5分位ですが，夜景が奇麗なカタマランクルーズと飲み放題のカクテル．とても楽しかった．
花火がなくても十分楽しめます．

We got tickets for the sunset tour and it was the most beautiful experience! The crew was very friendly and welcoming from the time we boarded till we got back to shore, I would highly recommend this tour!!

I noticed from the reviews that, as expected, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. I couldn't quite keep up with the energy of the foreigners, but the Mai Tai was delicious, and the night view and fireworks were amazing!

書き込みを見ていて、予想通り日本人は私たち以外にはもう1組だけでした。外国人の方々のテンションにイマイチついていけませんでしたが、マイタイが美味しかったのと、夜景と花火が最高でした！

What a terrific experience! The crew were excellent; fun, and relaxed, they allowed us to sit in the net of the boat (some don't!). The music was great, too. We would definitely go sailing on Na Hoku 2 again!

I was worried about seasickness and hesitated to sign up, but with a friend's recommendation from last year, I took motion sickness medication and participated. It was amazing. The beautiful sunset was definitely worth it, especially with the medication. Thanks to the medicine, I didn't feel any seasickness at all and had a great time.

船酔いを心配して申し込みを迷っていましたが、昨年参加した友人の勧めもあり酔い止めの薬を服用して参加しました。最高でした。とても綺麗なサンセットは酔い止め飲んで参加の価値ありです。薬のおかげか全く船酔いもなく楽しめました。

The weather was bad the day before, and it was raining in the morning on the day of the trip, so I participated with the feeling that it would be lucky if we could see anything at all. However, by the time we arrived at the Napali Coast, the weather improved, and we were able to enjoy the stunning views.

On the way, we even got to see dolphins, which was amazing. Cruising while watching the changing scenery was fantastic, and on the way back, we enjoyed a champagne service while watching the sunset, making for a perfect time.

Thank you very much.

前の日の天気が悪く、当日も午前中は雨が降っていたので、少しでも見れたらラッキーという気持ちで参加しましたが、ナパリコーストに到着した時には天気も良くなり最高の景色を堪能することができました。
行く途中、イルカにも会うことができ最高でした。
変わりゆく景色を見ながらのクルージングも最高で、帰りにサンセットを見ながらシャンパンのサービスもあり最高の時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

I was able to see Waikiki from the sea for the first time. The fireworks from Hilton felt different from those viewed from Hilton Lagoon; it was as if I was monopolizing the fireworks. However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food.

初めて海上からワイキキを観る事が出来ました。
ヒルトンの花火もヒルトンラグーンから観る花火とは違った印象を受けたのは、まるで花火を独占していたかのように感じたからでしょう。
只、食事はあまり期待しない方が良いと思います。

Sailing with the wind and no engine noise.
A fun atmosphere with everyone.
We could see both the north and south on the round trip.
It was supposed to be fireworks on Friday, but it was after the cruising.

帆で走りエンジン音が無い。
皆んなで楽しい雰囲気。
往復で南北両方見れた。
金曜日の花火という事だったが、クルージング語だった。

We had an amazing time on our sunset cruise!! The crew was very accommodating and we appreciated the thoughtfulness to take care of our family as we are traveling with our 91 year old father. He had a wonderful time as well!!! Definitely will do it again! Loved the sunset!!

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to see the Hilton Hotel's fireworks from the sea. Not only did I enjoy the fireworks, but I also got to experience the sunset.

There was quite a bit of time between the meal and the fireworks, so I relaxed while drinking coffee.

The taste of the food was average, nothing special but not bad either.

ヒルトンホテルの花火を海上から見たくて、こちらのツアーに申し込みをしました。
花火だけでなく、サンセットも楽しめました。

食事をしてから花火までの間、けっこう時間があったので、コーヒーを飲みながらゆったりと過ごしました。

食事の味は、可もなく不可もなくといった感じでした。

I participated because I could drink alcohol and the prices were cheaper than others. The drinks included Mai Tai cocktails and canned beer. We went quite far out and were able to see the sunset. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is amazing! Since it's all-you-can-drink, I could drink without hesitation. Next time, I want to join on a Friday.

お酒が飲めて、料金が他より安いので参加しました。アルコールは、カクテルのマイタイと、缶ビールでした。けっこう沖まで行って、夕日を見ることができました。海から見るワイキキや、ダイヤモンドヘッド最高です！飲み放題なので、遠慮なく飲めます。今度は、金曜日に参加したいですね。

In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.

結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。
