All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Since it is a yacht-type vessel that accommodates about 60 people, it offers a 360-degree view, allowing us to see the fireworks from a closer point than other vessels, making for an impressive cruise. Additionally, being a catamaran, it had less rocking, and we could enjoy the pleasant sea breeze.

約60人乗りのヨットタイプの船舶なので、３６０度視界が確保でき、花火のポイントにも他の船舶より近くから見ることができて、迫力満点のクルーズでした、また海面も近く双胴船のため揺れも少なく、潮風を心地よく感じました。

I think everyone feels the same way, but before leaving for Japan, I imagined "blue seas and skies" and planned fun optional tours. However, Hawaii isn't always sunny! Especially for ocean activities, the weather can lead to either amazing memories or disappointing results.

The sunset dinner cruise I booked this time had bad weather, with cloudy skies throughout, so I didn't have high expectations... but the result was very good! The gently rocking boat, combined with the friendliness of the crew, created a very pleasant atmosphere.

Seeing the lights of the hotels in Waikiki from the sea and a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the boat was wonderful. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but it became a great memory that you can't experience on land. I would love to participate again next time, on a sunny day!

皆さん同じだと思うのですが、日本を発つ前は「青い海と空」を思い描き楽しいオプショナルツア―を組みます。でも、ハワイは晴の日ばかりじゃないんですねぇ！！
特に海系は天候次第で最高の思い出になったり、ガッカリの結果だったり。
今回予約したこのサンセットディナクルーズ、当日は天候も悪く終始曇り空、あまり期待せずに…、、、でも結果はとてもgood！
適度に揺れる船内はクルーの人懐っこさも相まって、とても和やかでした。
洋上から見るワイキキのホテルの灯り、船を追い越そうと泳ぐイルカの群れ、
残念ながら夕日を見る事は叶いませんでしたが、地上では味わえない良い思い出になりました、又次回も参加したいです、晴れの日に！

Friendly staff, great service, great view, moved the boat around so every side had a great view

We chartered a catamaran for our office holiday party, and it was the perfect relaxing, fun, and unusual activity for a wonderful time! The two men who captained the boat and tended the bar did a wonderful job! We enjoyed the beauty of being out on the water with excellent beverage service (great maitais!) and nice waves splashing the kids who sat on the net. We would recommend it highly not just for office parties, but for any group. It's a wonderful icebreaker or memory maker activity! We have a lot of diversity of personalities in our office, but everyone had a great time!

There were few Japanese people, mostly foreigners, so just being on the boat felt exotic. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and they also provided snacks. I was torn between a dinner cruise, but this one felt more like a resort experience. The rocking felt like an attraction, and depending on where you sit, you might get splashed by the waves, but that was also fun. The cruise was quite long, and by the time the sun was setting, everyone was singing together and having a great time. I wish I could speak a little more English. I will definitely ride again next time! I highly recommend it!

日本人は少なく、海外の人ばかりで船に乗るだけでも異国感。飲み物は飲み放題。スナックもくれました。ディナークルーズと迷ってましたが、こちらの方がリゾート感あります。揺れはアトラクションって感じで座る場所、波の大きさに濡れることありますがそれもまた楽しい。クルーズは結構長く日が沈む頃には、みんなで歌ったりとお客同士でワイワイ。もう少し英語話せたらよかったなぁ。絶対次も乗ります‼︎おススメです‼︎

We loved the view of fireworks over the HHW, and the Waikiki Beach skyline. After seeing the fireworks from shore, we wanted to take this trip on our return visit. It was worth it. The crew was fun and the mai tais were plentiful. Our only difficulty was finding the launch. Not being local, we weren't sure how to get to this spot. Street directions would have been helpful.

It was great. The best. I participated for the first time while staying at the Sheraton. Until now, I was just wondering what it was, but I happened to find it online and joined. It was very friendly and fun.

良かった。最高。シェラトンに泊まって初めて参加しました。今まであれなんかな?と見ていただけですが、ネットでたまたま見つけて参加しました。とてもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

This was my eighth visit to Oahu, so I was looking for activities I hadn't participated in before, and I found this one. Joining was definitely the right choice! The night view while drinking a Mai Tai was amazing, and the excitement from the boat's sway added to the fun! It was a wonderful time where participants and the crew all enjoyed together. ★

オアフ島は8回目の訪問でしたので、これまでに参加したことのないアクティビティを探していて、たどり着きました。
参加して大正解！マイタイを飲みながらの夜景は最高で、船の揺れでも大盛り上がり！参加者とクルーが一緒に盛り上がる素敵な時間でした★

The crew was friendly and fun. Great time and great mai this! Totally recommend!

Good food and attentive staff. A little disappointed in not seeing the full sunset and with the quality of music.

I have always wanted to ride the Mai Tai, which is popular among foreigners. You need to make a reservation to enjoy the sunset cruise. The staff is cheerful and makes the sunset experience enjoyable. I want to ride it every time.

外国人の多いマイタイ号いつか乗りたいと思っていました。サンセットは予約しないと乗れませんよ。スタッフも陽気で楽しくサンセット。毎回乗りたいと思います

We have been on “dinner cruise’s before, thought it would be very nice for our anniversary based on description, not a sit down dinner cruise, you stand and hold onto poles. Unlimited drinks were nice.

Compared to dinner cruises I experienced in other cities, this cruise felt lacking in scenic variety as the boat stops off Waikiki. Next time, I’ll try enjoying the night view from the top of the mountain (Tantalus).

他の何か所かの都市で体験したディナークルーズに比較し、船がワイキキ沖に止まるコース
設定のため、眺めの変化に乏しいクルーズという気がした。次回は山の上（タンタラスの丘）
からの夜景観賞にトライしてみよう。

I participated in cocktail sailing. The view at sunset is amazing. However, it’s cold, so please dress warmly. I enjoyed the rainbow, the sunset, and arriving at Diamond Head.

カクテルセーリング参加しまいました。夕暮れの時景色最高です。ただ寒いので、暖かくして参加くださいませ。虹と、夕日とダイヤモンドヘッド到着して堪能しました。

My husband and I took the Star of Honolulu Dinner Jazz Cruise on 10/22/2017. This was one of the best meals I have ever had. You are treated as royalty as soon as you check in. On check in, we found out that this level of dinning (there are 3 levels) requires men to wear long pants. This was booked as a surprise gift for my husband and I totally forgot to have him pack pants. The staff was great and got my husband a pair of slacks that they keep on hand. We were escorted from the check in to the boat and then by another attendant to the ship were we took photos with the Captain. Then the luxury begins. We have complementary welcome about cocktails and 3 amazing appetizers. Our waiter Forrest escorted us to our table. The meal is 7 courses, but each is small so you are able to finish. Each dish was amazing. At desert you are offered a coffee and can include an addition of coffee liquor. They have premium spirits aboard and you get two free drink tickets in your package. There a constant flux in hula shows and then a jazz show. They were very good. I highly recommend the rainbow colored martini, yummy. The staff all went an extra mile to make this the best experience ever.

It was amazing.
I participated based on the experiences of others.

The view while feeling the sea breeze was fantastic, and the night view of Honolulu from the sea was very beautiful.
You can drink as much alcohol or soft drinks as you like, so no worries!
There are proper restrooms too, haha.

There are no Japanese people or Japanese staff, but everyone is cheerful and friendly, so those who can't speak English don't need to worry at all.

I’m definitely joining again next time!

最高でした。
他の方の体験談を参考に参加させて頂きました。

海風を浴びながら眺める景色もサイコーだし、海から眺めるホノルルの夜景もとても美しかったです。
アルコールやシフトドリンクを好きなだけ飲んでもご安心ください！
お手洗いもちゃんとあります 笑

日本人も日本人スタッフもいませんが、みんな陽気でフレンドリーなので、英語が話せない方も何も心配しないで大丈夫ですね

次回も参加決定です

This was my second time in Hawaii, and the view from the yacht was amazing. I took some motion sickness medication just in case, but I didn't feel sick at all and completed the schedule without any issues. There were only a few Japanese people, and I think most of the others were from English-speaking countries.

While enjoying a delicious Mai Tai, I thought how great it would be to talk with these people, which strongly motivated me to learn English.

人生2回目のハワイでしたが、ヨットから眺める景色が最高でした。一応酔い止めも飲んで行きましたが、全く酔う様子もなくスケジュールを終えました。日本人はチラホラ程度で殆どが英語圏の方たちだったと思います。
美味しいマイタイ飲みながらこの人たちと話せたらなぁっと英語学習のモチベーションにも強く影響を与えました。

This cruise was a fantastic way to end our holiday! The Staff were lovely and the boat was clean & comfortable. We had a great time :)

We participated as a couple. We arrived 15 minutes late for the pickup. Naturally, there was no sign of embarrassment, and we were taken to the yacht harbor. Well, I suppose we can say this is the pace of a tropical country. However, it can be a bit unsettling if you're unsure whether you're in the right place.

The cruise was on a medium-sized boat. It had a large sail, so I guess it falls into the category of a yacht. When we think of a cruise, we often imagine a luxury liner, but I believe any boat that sails on the sea can be considered a cruise in that sense. I was aware of this from other reviews, so it didn't particularly bother me, and the price was low, so it was to be expected. The wind we felt while cruising and the views we saw were fantastic. I would definitely want to use this service again. The boat had little rocking, and no one was feeling seasick. Also, we were lucky enough to see dolphins. However, it gets cold on the way back. Once the sun sets, it can be quite chilly, so it's necessary to prepare with a hoodie or something similar.

Regarding dinner, you simply take 5 or 6 types of side dishes onto your plate and eat them, so it's like a lunch plate. It's best not to have high expectations. You should come with the mindset of enjoying the cruise itself.

カップルで参加してきました。
迎えには15分遅れで到着。当然のように悪びれるそぶりはなく、ヨットハーバーまでの送迎でした。まぁこの辺は、南国の時間とでも言いましょうか。ただ分かっていればいいのですが、この場所で合ってるのか等不安になります。
クルーズは、中型船でのクルーズでした。大きな帆がありましたので、ヨットの部類に入るんでしょうか。クルーズというと豪華客船のような船をイメージしがちですが、船で海を走ればどんな船でもクルーズという意味でクルーズだと思います。この点は、他の方の口コミで分かっていたので特に気にならなかったですし、値段も安いのでそんなもんです。クルーズしながら浴びる風、見える景色は最高でした。また、利用したいと思えるものでした。船も揺れは少なく、よっている人はいませんでした。また、偶然イルカも見れて良かったです。ただ、帰りは寒いです。日が沈むとかなり寒いので、パーカー等の準備が必要です。
ディナーに関しては、5,6種類のおかず等を自分の皿にとってそれを食べるだけなので、ランチプレートのようなものです。あまり期待をしない方がいいです。あくまでも、クルーズのみを楽しみに来たと割りきるべきです。

The sunset was great, the crew was great, and the Mai Tai was great! It was a tour that had all the right elements. I didn't get seasick on the boat, but I did get tipsy from the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai (laughs). It was really delicious Mai Tai. Cheers!!

サンセットよし、乗組員よし、マイタイよし！
三拍子そろったグッドなツアーでした。
船に酔うことはなかったけれど、飲み放題の
マイタイに酔ってしまいました（笑）。
ほんとに美味しいマイタイでした。乾杯!!

I was able to see a beautiful sunset.
It gets chilly when the sun goes down, and you might get wet, so a jacket and towel are essential.
When riding on the yacht, it's best to go barefoot, so I recommend wearing sandals.

きれいなサンセットが見られました。
日が沈むと肌寒くなるのと、濡れたりするので上着とタオル必須です。
ヨットに乗るとき裸足になるので、ビーにサンダルがおすすめです。

Great dinner nice show and fireworks. Worth it. And they held the ship because so many delayed because of trumps visit and traffic jam

I arrived in Hawaii on Friday, so I participated to see the fireworks. Most of the attendees were foreigners, but there was music playing and the atmosphere was great!!

They also served non-alcoholic pineapple juice, which was nice!

I got to see the fireworks, and it became a wonderful memory (*^ω^*)

金曜にハワイに到着したので、花火をみるために参加しました。ほとんどが外国の方でしたが、音楽もかかって雰囲気もよかったです！！

お酒が入っていないパイナップルジュースも出してくれて、よかったです！

花火もみれて、いい思い出になりました(*^ω^*)

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Very willing to take photos of you and provide information.

We started our tour from Wailea by rental car, visiting places like the Tree Tunnel, Hanapepe Valley, and Old Koloa Town, with a lunch break along the way, and reached Port Allen in about four hours.

In front of the meeting point at the Holoholo Charters office, there’s a Kauai Chocolate shop! I was really impressed by the samples (laughs). When we arrived at 1:00 PM, newlywed couples and others began to gather.

The captain of the cruiser and the female crew were friendly and kind. Of course, the views of the Na Pali Coast were stunning. Although it was the rainy season in November and it rained a bit, it stopped quickly, allowing us to see a beautiful full-size rainbow. We even encountered dolphins welcoming us! The sunset provided an incredible photo opportunity.

It can be quite bumpy. Most people are fine, but if you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

I highly recommend this experience. Be aware that drinks like beer and wine are unlimited!

レンタカーでワイルアから出発ツリートンネル～ハナペペ渓谷～オールドコロアタウン～など観光、途中昼食、４時間くらいでとポートアレン。
集合場所のホロホロチャーターズの事務所前にカウアイチョコレートのショップあり！試食で大感激（笑）。１：００PMについて待ってると新婚のカップルなどなど集合してきました。
クルーザーのキャプテンや女性クルーも気さくで親切。もちろんナパリコーストの景観は素晴らしく。１１月雨季とのことで雨が降ったがすぐ止みおかげできれいな虹がホールサイズで見ることができました。イルカの歓迎にも遭遇！もちろんサンセットはまたとない写真が撮れました。
かなり揺れます。ほとんどの人は平気ですが船酔い心配なかたは酔い止め薬を。
絶対オススメです。飲み物はビール、ワイン、など飲み放題なのでご注意を。

There were three groups of Japanese participants, and about 30 foreigners. The explanations before departure and on the boat were all in English, so I was a bit anxious and didn't understand well. However, the captain and guide spoke fluent Japanese. After explaining to the foreigners, he kindly provided various explanations to the Japanese guests, mixed with jokes. The fireworks were beautiful. The best spot is at the back of the boat. The food was also delicious.

日本人3組参加でした。他は外人30人位。出発前と、船の中の説明は、すべて英語だったので、良く分からなく、不安でしたが、なんと、船長兼ガイドが日本語ペラペラで、外人に説明後、丁寧に、日本人だけに、ジョーク交じりに、色々説明してくれました。花火綺麗です。ベスポジは船後部です。食事も美味しいです。

Everyone except us were Western guests. The crew only provided explanations in English. Still, we managed to understand that the first cup of guava juice was free and got it. After that, the other guests were having a great time drinking beer and wine. We, however, couldn't quite understand what to order, so we held back and didn't drink. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the refreshing thrill and the amazing scenery, and the return trip was a leisurely cruise. I regret not studying more English; we could have enjoyed it much more.

私たち以外はみな欧米のお客さん。クルーも英語のみの説明。
それでも何とか、最初の1杯目のグァバジュースは無料ということは理解しゲット。
その後も周りのお客さんはビールを飲んだりワインを飲んだりと大盛り上がり。
私たちは、なんて注文すれば良いのかちゃんと理解できてないので、飲まずに我慢。
それでも、爽快な疾走感と最高の景色、また戻りはゆったりとしたクルーズが楽しめました。
もっと英語を勉強しておくんだったと後悔。もっともっと楽しめたはずです。

子供たちと楽しい時間を過ごしました。ワイキキからホノルルを見渡す素晴らしいダイヤモンドヘッドの景色と共に、心地よい貿易風を楽しみました。クルージングは最高です！おすすめです。

had fun with my kids. enjoyed lovely nice trade wind with fantastic view of daiamond head through waikiki over honolulu.
good cruising!! recommended.

The two people on the sailing Mai Tai, the girls who saw us off, and the women from the returning photo team were all amazing! The content, service, and cost performance were very satisfying! Everyone around us had big smiles of satisfaction. Thank you for a wonderful time!

セイリングのマイタイ 号の中の2人も、見送りの女の子たちも、帰りの写真隊の女性たちも、みんな最高です！とっても満足できる内容とサービス・コスパでした！
周りの人たちも大満足の笑顔でした。素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました！

I was fed up with the two Japanese girls who were having too much fun. They were walking around the ship, drinking heavily and making a scene. They didn't consider the inconvenience they were causing to others, and they ruined the beautiful sunset.

日本の女の子二人連れのはしゃぎぶりに辟易。酒をがぶがぶ飲みながら船内を歩き回って大はしゃぎ。他人の迷惑を考えず、せっかくの夕日も台無しでした。
