All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I wanted my 2-year-old to experience sailing, so we participated! There were two other families with small children, and about 40% of the participants were Japanese.

I had expected mostly young foreigners based on the reviews, but surprisingly, there were quite a few older participants as well (laughs), and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. However, when the waves splashed, everyone got excited and started squealing, and as the drinks kicked in, we gradually began dancing to the music, enjoying the lively vibe of a different culture!

The captain and crew didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly and cheerful, which made for a pleasant experience.

While some reviews mention negative experiences, I think those who enjoy drinking and having a good time will really enjoy this. We've participated in various activities during our trip to Hawaii, but my husband, who doesn't speak English, said this cruise was the most fun. The rocking of the boat is quite intense, making it perfect for those who love roller coasters! Conversely, if you're looking to enjoy a more serene sunset, you might want to choose a different cruise.

2歳児にセーリングを体験させたくて参加しました！他にも小さなお子様連れが2組いて、日本人参加者は全体の4割程度でした。

口コミを見て外国人は若者ばかりを覚悟していましたが、案外若くもなく（笑）落ち着いた感じでした。でも波しぶきがかかるとキャーキャー言って盛り上がり、酔いがまわると次第に音楽に合わせて踊り始め異国のノリを楽しめました♪
キャプテンやクルーは日本語を話せませんが、フランクな陽気な方でとても感じが良かったです。

口コミでたまに嫌な思いをされる方がいるようですが、お酒が好きで、ワイワイするのが好きな方でしたら楽しめると思います。このハワイ旅行で色々と参加しましたが、英語が話せない主人でもこのクルーズが一番楽しかったと言っています。揺れが激しいので、ジェットコースター好きな方にもピッタリです！
逆に、しっとりとサンセットを楽しみたい方は別のクルーズにされた方がいいかもしれません。

I was moved when I rode it for the first time last year! I've decided to make it a regular tour starting this year! Enjoying a delicious Mai Tai against the backdrop of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head♡ This is pure bliss. Sometimes getting splashed by the waves, and after the excitement of the activities, slowing down to fully enjoy the sunset. I'll ride it again next year!

昨年初めて乗って感動！今年から定番ツアーに決定！ワイキキのホテル群とダイヤモンドヘッドを背景に美味しいマイタイを飲む♡
これぞ至福の時間。時に波をかぶったり、アクティビティの様なワクワクの後、スピードを落としてサンセットを存分に楽しむ。また来年も乗ります！

Open bar had great selection. Length of trip with fireworks was perfect. Just what I was looking for.

I booked the evening cruise on the fourth day. Be careful, as it looks nothing like the catalog images. As soon as we got out to Diamond Head, the waves of the open sea caused a lot of up-and-down motion... Personally, it was the best activity, but I definitely do not recommend it for those who get motion sickness.

4日目の夕方乗船で予約。カタログ画像と全く違うので要注意。ダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで出たとたん、外洋の波でアップダウンの激しい揺れが・・・。個人的には最高のアクティビティーでしたが、乗り物酔いする方には絶対にお勧めしません。

I quickly found the reception area since I had researched it in advance. I arrived at the meeting time of 2:30 PM and was told to return by 3:00 PM, so I waited right in front. However, even at 3:00 PM, it seemed like the reserved guests hadn't arrived, and they were discussing something while looking at the list, which delayed our boarding. In the end, it was just our group and a family of three that set sail. It was nice to have the boat to ourselves and enjoy the view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean, but when we went further out towards Diamond Head, it was a bit scary. If we could have seen dolphins or something, it might have been more enjoyable, but I started to feel a bit bored. Since I can't speak English, the staff kindly checked on me in Japanese to see if I was okay.

受付場所は事前に調べていたのですぐにわかりました。集合時間14：30に到着し50分に戻って来てと言われたのですぐ前で待っていましたが、15：00になっても予約客が来ないのか名簿を見ながら何やら話してなかなか乗船出来ませんでした、結局私達と3人家族だけで出航しました。貸切状態でゆったりできワイキキビーチを沖から見ているでは良かったけれど、延々沖（ダイヤモンドヘッドの方）へ出た時ちょっと怖かったかな。イルカとか何か見れたらもう少し楽しめたかもですがちょっと退屈してきました。英語が話せないのでスタッフは大丈夫？と日本語で気遣ってくれました。

We had a great time seeing Waikiki from the water and the crew was great, they were very fun with the guests and made every effort to anticipate our needs.

I enjoyed the sunset at Diamond Head while sipping a Mai Tai with a cheerful captain!

It's my favorite memory from Waikiki.

陽気なキャプテンとマイタイを楽しみながら、サンセットのダイヤモンドヘッドを満喫しました！

ワイキキでの一番の思い出です。

Great just don’t bother paying the extra for all you can drink it can be a little bumpy out there

It was a small Mai Tai catamaran, but it sped along gracefully, with the cheers of passengers splashing in the waves. Tourists from Japan were able to exchange photos with foreign tour guests and share a fun time together. The sight of Diamond Head glowing in the sunset was also impressive, and I definitely want to board again next time.

小型のマイタイ・カタマラン号でしたが軽快に疾走し、波しぶきを浴びた乗客達の歓声が船中に。
日本からの観光客も、外国人ツアー客とも写真交換させてもらい楽しい時間を共有できました。
夕日に浮かぶダイアモンドヘッドも印象的で、次回も是非、乗船したいと思う。

Loved it really enjoyed the experience would highly recommend. Fantastic way to end a holiday

It’s beautiful just don’t opt for the all you can drink it’s to short of a journey to try and catch a buzz while admiring the views!

Although we hadn't registered our marriage yet, we wanted to have a ceremony during our wonderful trip to Hawaii, and it became an unforgettable memory. With the captain's presence, we pledged our love to each other, and it felt very sacred, allowing us to reaffirm our feelings for one another. The staff who escorted us were also very kind and accommodating. Thank you very much. I thought it would be nice to participate again in five or ten years.

入籍はまだでしたがせっかくのハワイ旅行中に式を挙げたかったので最高に良い思い出になりました。
船長さんの立ち会いで愛を誓い合い、とても神聖な気持ちになり
お互いの気持ちを再確認する事ができました。
エスコートしてくれたスタッフの方もとても親切に対応してくださいました。
有り難うございました。
５年後、１０年後、又、参加したいなと思いました。

We loved it! Show was so good and the performers were amazing and so attentive. Highly recommend!!!

You can enjoy beautiful views of Diamond Head and feel the breeze of Hawaii, which is very enjoyable. This time it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I would love to visit again.

ダイアモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたりと景色が堪能でき
ハワイの風を感じられたりととても楽しいです。
今回は曇ってて日の入りが見られませんでしたが、またリピートしたいと思います。

We had a great time. It was definitely a perfect opportunity to get away from it all. With that said it’s worth the cost! The dock was easy to find. They are the first booth as you enter the lot. Check in was easy at 1700 and sailed promptly at 530 pm. It was nice to unwind with a friendly crowd from all walks of life while “chasing” the sunset. The crew were super chill and attentive. The food was okay. That night they had tofu rolls, egg rolls, white rice, glazed chicken, and ginger beef with veggies buffet style/self serve. Then had chocolate chip cookie after served by crew member. The bar was rolling so I take it everyone was enjoying their drinks. The package came with one drink, it can be used towards juice or soft drink or with spirits. The part I enjoyed the most was having the moment to sit back, relaxing and enjoying the “waves”. But for the most part, I did enjoy socializing with other people on the cruise. That night was filled only with good vibes. We did the cruise on mid part of our stay here in Oahu and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We were busy running around “chasing” for the best of the best and the 2+ hr sail finally gave me the chance to “breathe” if you will. We had plenty’s of time to take pictures and a crew member was more than happy to assist as well. He gave us the heads up as far as what to expect and he was right on. No surprises on board! Just how I like it! You can sit in the enclosed area which I do not recommend if you get sea sick or you can stay standing, do your Kate and Leo’s pose, sit and relax by the nets. Ladies it does get windy so unless you also want to be Marilyn Monroe, wear shorts or pants! There’s a parking lot directly by the dock for $1/hr. It was a smooth sail (take it from me..I am one to guaranteed to get nauseous just from standing on the beach). There were no children on board. I didn’t travel with my children this time so I am not sure if that is stated on the description site..

First, we waited for the pickup, then we waited to go, and even after we arrived, we waited... It was so difficult to find something to eat that we could enjoy, as there were very few options. Since there were Japanese staff members, I had no worries about the language. The scenery and fireworks were beautiful. The return trip was also quite long...

まず、ピックアップからまち、行くまでも待ち、ついてからも待ち・・・
ご飯も食べれるものを探すのに苦労するくらい食べれるものが少ない。日本人スタッフがいるから言葉の心配はゼロ。景色、花火はきれいにみれた。帰りもまぁ、長かった・・・

We had the most incredible evening - these women are kickass and we couldn't have imagined a better crew!! The drinks were great, the sunset unbelievable and the boat was VERY clean - even the bathrooms were nice and clean. We would definitely do this again when back in Hawaii!

Highly recommend a Hawaiian Mimosa by the way!! Well worth the money for an evening on the water - big enough that it's spacious too. Thank you girls for such a memorable evening!! <3

I apologize for the late post, but I used the service in April. Since our arrival date was on a Friday, I signed up for my friend’s first trip to Hawaii to see the Hilton fireworks! My friend, who was worried about motion sickness, was very happy to enjoy the fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze (a jacket is a must!). I usually watch from the beach, but seeing the fireworks from the water was exceptional. I would like to sign up again next time!

投稿が遅くなりましたが、4月に利用しました。到着日が金曜日だったので、ヒルトンの花火が観られる！とハワイ初の友達のために申し込みました。乗り物酔いが心配だった友達も、心地よい風を受けながらの花火鑑賞にとても喜んでくれました（上着は必須です！）。私もいつもはビーチからの鑑賞でしたが、海の上から見る花火は格別なものでした。次回も申し込みたいと思います！

It was an amazing trip with beautiful views. The crew was friendly and funny. I would recommend this trip!!!

I was very lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins! The tour guide was also very enthusiastic and made the experience enjoyable. I was truly happy in that wonderful atmosphere. Thank you very much! 😊

イルカの群れにも出逢えて
とてもラッキーでした！
添乗員さんもノリノリで楽しませて頂き
本当に幸せな空間で嬉しかったです。
ありがとございました(^^)

The meeting is at 15:30, and it takes about four hours in a relaxed manner. I didn't expect much from the food, and it turned out as I anticipated. However, if you can have a normal conversation in English, it might actually be quite interesting. We encountered dolphins, or rather, there was a dolphin show happening around the boat in a certain area of the sea.

15:30集合からダラダラと四時間程度かかります。食事も期待しないで行きましたが、やはり予想通りでした。ただ、英語で普通に会話出来れば案外面白いかも。
イルカには遭遇というか、航路上のある海域で、船のまわりでイルカショー状態でした。

Captain Mike and crew were unbelievable. Friendly and helpfull. They truly took care of us on this beautiful sunset trip.

I showed my voucher at the booth as instructed, but was told it was the wrong place and that I needed to go to the Sheraton. When I went to the Sheraton, there was no reception area. When I returned, I saw the same person from earlier with the boat in the photo, so I asked again and was told to wait there. However, while I was left waiting, more and more people boarded the boat, and as they were about to close it, I asked again and was told to hurry up. During the tour, everything was lively in English, but the only time I heard Japanese was when they asked for tips at the end. It was the worst experience.

指示どうりのブースでバウチャー見せたのに、ここではない シェラトンの方だと、シェラトンの方に行きましたが受付らしきものはなく、また、戻って見ると先程の人と写真の船があったので、もう一度聞くと、その場で待つように言われたが、どんどん他の人間が乗船する中ほったらかし、締め切ろうとするので、もう一度聞くと早く乗れと ツアー中もすべて英語で盛り上がって、唯一下船時に『チップ下さい』の日本語 最悪〜

Great food, great service. The only thing I might add is to provide something to crack open the lobster

No complaints about the boat, captain and crew. It was all professional and attentive. Food was great, beer selection included local and usual brands. As advertised, they don't overcrowd the boat, so there's plenty of room for the passengers. I do recommend a light jacket and hat. Unless you stay in the cabin, you will get wet. How much will depend on where you sit/stand. Amazing views to be seen and we were lucky enough to see a school of porpoises jumping around the ship. Sunset off the aft (back) of the ship was worth it.

Great time on the Sea Maui. The music was wonderful! Really great service too. Got great shots of the sunset.

I would totally recommend this catamaran ride to everyone.

We participated as a couple, and it was really fun. This might be the best tour we've been on so far. The captain was lively and made it enjoyable, and there were young people from abroad, so we were able to take photos together, creating great memories.

夫婦で参加しました、とても楽しかったです
今まで行ったツアーで一番かな。キャプテンもノリノリで楽しかったです、外国の若者もいて一緒に写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。

Last year, I participated with my daughter and had so much fun that this time I joined with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. I signed her up as a surprise gift since she is a bit scared, but the fun was so overwhelming that she seemed to forget her fear and was really happy, asking to go to the front of the boat to take pictures. There were not many Japanese people, but the foreigners were lively, dancing and singing, which made it incredibly enjoyable. When we got off the boat, a wave came and soaked us up to our bottoms (^▽^;). I think it's better to have a towel. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

昨年、娘と参加してとても楽しかったので今回はハワイ初の友人と参加させていただきました。少し怖がりの友人へサプライズプレゼントで申し込みしたのですが、あまりの楽しさに怖さもどこかへ行ってしまったのか自分から船の先頭へ行って写真撮って～と凄く喜んでいました。日本人は少ないですが、外人さん達がノリノリで踊ったり、歌ったりですっごく楽しかったです。
船から降りる時に波がきてお尻まで濡れてしまいました(^▽^;)タオルはあった方が良いと思います。またハワイへ行った際は是非参加したいです。

This was a last minute thing that we decided to do - and we're sure glad that we did.
Was a great night with good food and good entertainment to follow. Rose was our server and what a fantastic job she did, she had a number of tables to look after (as servers do over there) yet she gave intimate tables of two just as much as large group tables.
Overall a well run experience from pickup to drop off couldn't fault it at all

Entertainment was great. There was always something going on if you don't be careful you will miss the sunrise. I was beautiful.
