All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Great time , interesting island history, great crew

She has a leg disability and uses a prosthetic leg, so I carried her onto the yacht. I want to make sure she can get on the yacht without getting wet. I would like a special ladder prepared for her.

彼女は、足が悪く義足の為、私がおぶってヨットに乗せました。濡れないでヨットに乗れる様にして欲しい。何か特別な、はしごを用意して欲しい。

We participated with 20 people. The service may not be very reliable, but if you approach it with a self-service mindset, you can enjoy it. As for drinks, there are times when they might be forgotten, so you need to be proactive in getting them.

サービスはあまり期待は出来ませんが、セルフ感覚で参加すると楽しめます。
ドリンクは、配り忘れられることがあるので、積極的に取りにいかないといけません。

The crew was awesome! Michelle was a fantastic bartender and we had so much fun on the cruise! Would highly recommend for a relaxed fun time.

My husband and I had an amazing time on the Makani sunset dinner cruise while on our honeymoon in Hawaii! The only downfall, as others have mentioned, is having to wait to get checked in. With the arranged transportation, we arrived an hour before the boat set sail and could not check in until 30 prior to the departure time. The staff took excellent care of everyone throughout the night to make sure we all had a good experience. The food was casual but very good- especially the spring rolls! Drinks are reasonably priced with a variety of options. We especially enjoyed that the cruise was on a catamaran for a more intimate feel compared to a larger cruise ship. We would definitely recommend this sunset dinner cruise to anyone in O'ahu for vacation!

We participated as a family of three. This was our sixth time on Oahu, but it was the first time we joined, and it became a wonderful memory. The Mai Tai was delicious (it tastes better without ice). We would like to participate again next time.

家族3人で参加しました
オアフ島6回目で初めて参加しましたが、素晴らしい思い出になりました。
マイタイも美味しく（氷を無しにしてもらったほうが美味しい）いただきました。
次回も参加したいと思います。

The sunset was beautiful, and the 90 minutes went by in no time. I definitely want to ride again next time. Thank you very much.

サンセットが綺麗であっと言う間の90分でした、また次回ぜひ乗りたいです。
ありがとうございました。

Unfortunately, the clouds covered the sunset moment, so I couldn't capture it beautifully, but it was really enjoyable to drink while watching the sunset over the sea. Everyone was so friendly, both Japanese and foreign visitors, and it was a lot of fun! I couldn't understand English at all (laughs), but they took pictures for me and ordered drinks. When I recommended it to my friends, they also seemed to have a great time! I want to go again! Thanks to other people's reviews, I didn't get wet! As expected, wearing flip-flops and shorts is important because you will get wet up to your knees when boarding, so be careful with your clothing!

残念ながら雲がちょうどかかっちゃって肝心なサンセットの瞬間は綺麗には撮れませんでしたが、海の上で夕焼けみながら飲むのは本当に楽しかったです。皆さん和気あいあいとされてて日本人、外国の方、みなさん声かけてくださって凄く楽しかったです！英語全然わからなかったけど（笑）写真撮ってくれたり、お酒頼んでくれたり。友達にも勧めたら楽しかったみたいです！またのりたい！他の方のクチコミのおかげで濡れませんでした！やはりビーサンにショートパンツなど、乗り込み時にひざくらいまで海につかるので服装は注意が必要です！

Unfortunately, it seems that the whales went towards Canada, so we couldn't go whale watching. I'm disappointed that it looks like I won't be able to use the tickets before they expire! I'll try again next year.

あいにくクジラたちはカナダの方へ行ったようでホエールウオッチングは叶いませんでした。
頂いたチケット期限に使えそうもなく残念！！又来年トライします。

Crew amazing. Sailing was an awesome time. Appetizers too! Who could possibly complain!

After two years, we returned to Hawaii, and since it was my wife's birthday, we booked a dinner cruise. I requested a surprise cake, and with the help of the onboard staff, we were able to have a wonderful birthday party with the kids. Thank you very much.

2年ぶりのハワイ、ちょうど妻の誕生日だったので久しぶりにディナークルーズを申し込みました。サプライズでケーキをお願いし、乗船スタッフのご協力もあり、子供達と素晴らしい誕生日パーティが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but I had never experienced a cruise. I decided to participate to try it out, and I was extremely satisfied with the excitement and comfort, which exceeded my expectations. I would like to do it again.

ハワイには何度も行ったことがありますが、クルーズは未体験でした。一度は体験しておこうと参加しましたが、予想以上の盛り上がりと気持ち良さで大満足でした。またリピートしたいと思います。

The food and service were all very good. The dishes were suitable for my 4 and 8-year-old children, who even asked for seconds. The fruits were fresh as well. It was a luxury to view Waikiki from the seaside, and we were able to relax. The staff mentioned that it had rained the day before, but they saw a rainbow. That kind of scenery is nice too.

料理、対応全てとても良かったです。
4歳、8歳の子供たちにも口に合う料理でおかわりをしていました。フルーツも新鮮。
海側からワイキキを見るのはとても贅沢でゆっくりとすごせました。
前日は雨が降っていたようですが
虹が見られたとスタッフの方が言っていました。
そんな景色もいいですね。

You take off your shoes at the dock and board the boat barefoot. Most of the passengers are Westerners, with about 10% being Asians, including Japanese. The crew spoke only English, but they were friendly and pleasant. After departing, drinks and appetizers are served. Following that, you can enjoy dishes including tacos. It gets quite rocky, so I think it's better to wear a swimsuit.

船着き場で靴を脱いで裸足で船に乗り込みます。ほとんどが欧米人で日本人を含むアジア系は1割程度でしょうか、クルーは英語オンリーでしたがフレンドリーな感じで好感が持てました。出発してしばらくするとドリンクとオードブルがでます。その後はタコスを含む料理が楽しめます。結構揺れますので水着で乗った方がいいと思います。

We had a wonderful evening on Makani. After reviewing several dinner cruise options, we selected Makani due to the great reviews and good price. It was one of our favorite excursions on our vacation!
The pros: The staff was great - funny and personable. The food was good and there was a large drink selection, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It was a very relaxing cruise with a beautiful view; it lasted approximately two hours, so you get to enjoy the sunset, as well.
The cons: There is only one, which is that they provide transportation, but not from our hotel. Though they didn't require us to go very far, it was a bit confusing trying to find our pick up point as that particular hotel has several locations. Also a slight put off considering we passed our hotel going to the marina. All was fine in the end though, as it was nice that transportation was provided at no additional cost.
Overall, I would highly recommend this excursion. We really enjoyed the relaxing, beautiful evening aboard the Makani Dinner Cruise.

7.5 billion people and I spent it my two favorite, my wife and daughter. Thanks for being part of our memories!

There were no Japanese-speaking staff, but everything went smoothly and I had a great time. I couldn't figure out the parking lot and the free service points from the map. Also, I wasn't quite sure about the grassy area. Those two points were disappointing.

日本語対応スタッフはいませんでしたが、特に問題なく進行しとても楽しむことができました。
駐車場と無料対応ポイントが地図を見てもわかりませんでした。
あと、芝生広場もイマイチわかりませんでした。
その２点が残念でした。

This cruise is very relaxing and gives you the opportunity to calm down and enjoy the evening in a friendly and family oriented environment, specially if you have already done lots of adventurous activities elsewhere. I definitely recommend to go on this cruise as part of your Oahu trip. We saw lots of couples and families and they all seemed to be enjoying the cruise, specially during the sunset. In addition, the food was pretty good too. It included several options and there was plenty so I think you won't leave the boat hungry. If I go back to Oahu, I will go back on this cruise again specially towards the end of my trip to chill, relax, and take good sunset pictures.

Recommend for friday fireworks! We enjoyed beautiful nightview of Waikiki and Ala moana.

I participated in a Makani Dinner Cruise. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of the cruise, but I was impressed by the atmosphere and the view. The dinner featured a plate of Hawaiian local cuisine with chicken, beef, potatoes, spring rolls, and rice, and it was very delicious. The only downside was the one-drink policy. If the lighting had been better, I think it would have been the perfect dinner cruise. This time, I joined with my beloved boyfriend, and it became a memorable day for both of us. The cruise was amazing, and I love my boyfriend!!

マカニディナークルージングに参加しました。クルージング当日は残念ながら雲っていましたが、クルージングの雰囲気と眺めに感動しました。ディナーはハワイのロコ料理のプレートと料理でチキン、ビーフ、ポテト、生春巻きそしてライスでとても美味しかったです。ただ少し残念なのがワンドリンク制でした。電気も良ければ最高のディナークルージングだと思います。今回は大好きな彼氏と参加し二人にとって思い出の１日になりました。クルージング最高、彼氏大好きです！！

Highly recommended!! Had so much fun!! Must do while in Hawaii!

Best firework sail on the island!! Would definitely do it again and recommend it to any and everyone!!

Since the participants are dressed quite casually, I recommend wearing pants. After arriving at the bay, you will exchange your boarding pass and drink voucher, and board the catamaran! There is no Japanese support, and all explanations are in English, but I was able to find out the location of the life jackets and the restroom on the boat. Drinks start as soon as we set sail! There are two sizes available, but the smaller one is sufficient.

After departure, it was quite rocky until we got out to sea, but that’s part of the experience! The catamaran has nets over the bow where you can sit, but we were too scared to try it. The dinner was more on the Asian side and tasted great. I was pleasantly surprised by the large cookie they handed out later.

However, there wasn't anyone on the crew who spoke Japanese, so I wished there had been at least one. But you can definitely enjoy the scenery!

参加者の皆さんはかなりラフな服装ですので、パンツスタイルがお勧めです。湾に到着後、乗船券とドリンク券を引き替え、カタラマンに乗船！日本語の対応はなく全て英語の説明ですが、船にある救命胴衣の位置やトイレの場所はわかりました。ドリンクは出港するとすぐに開始！サイズは２種類ありますが、小さい方で充分。
出港後、沖に出るまではかなり揺れましたが、それも醍醐味！カタラマンの双頭にはネットがかけてあり、そこに座ることができますが、私たちは怖くていけませんでした。ディナーは、どちらかというとアジアン寄りで味はおいしかったです。後で配ってくれた大きなクッキーは予想してなかったので、うれしかったです。
ただ、クルーに日本語をはなせる方がいかなったので、ひとりは欲しかったな～
でも、景色は堪能できます！

The food was poor. There were too few dishes, and despite taking too long from departure to the fireworks, the duration of the fireworks was too short.

食べ物がお粗末
料理の品数が少ないし、出港から花火迄の時間がかかりすぎのわりに花火の時間が少なすぎる

There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us.
The crew spoke only English, but we had a great time.
On the contrary, I recommend it for those who want to feel the overseas atmosphere.
The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat has a unique charm and is very lovely.
Personally, I prefer this catamaran over the sunset cruise with dinner.

私たちの他に、日本人は1組だけ。
クルーも英語のみでしたが、十分楽しめます。
逆に海外を感じたい人にはお勧めです。
船上から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは
一味違う雰囲気でとても素敵です。
個人的にはディナー付きのサンセットクルーズより
このカタマランの方が大好きです。

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice sunset dinner cruise the other night in the Makani catamaran. The night started off with a friendly driver picking us up at our hotel and bringing us to the boat. The only criticism of the whole night (very minor) is that we arrived at the boat around 4:40 but we're not able to "Check in" until 5 even though the girl was sitting in the booth waiting until 5. So rather than checking in as people arrived we now had an awkward line waiting to check in. Then we waited another 15-20 minutes to board the boat. Like I said, minor but the timing could have been better. Once aboard, the crew was great and got us quickly out of the harbor to enjoy the amazing views of the city and mountains. The food was as expected, a decent buffet. The drinks were good and reasonably priced.
What you are paying for is the views and that sunset! That was worth every penny on our trip. The catamaran boat let you enjoy the experience a lot more as you are free to move around and sit on the front netting.

We've been to Waikiki many times and have done a few catamaran tours. This tour was by far the best! Very personalized, highly recommend the drink shaker and VIP boarding. Captain Rich and his crew Michelle are amazing, Will definitely do this tour again. Highly recommend this tour.

The sunset from off Diamond Head was absolutely beautiful. On the dinner cruise, I was fortunate enough to win a commemorative lobster, but the view of the Hawaiian sunset while cruising was simply elegant.

ダイヤモンドヘッド沖からのサンセットは最高に美しかった。ディナークルーズでは記念のロブスターが当たると言う幸運にも恵まれましたが、とにかくハワイの夕日をクルーズしながら見る景色は優美です。

About 90% of the participants were foreigners. The special drink is recommended as it doesn't make you drunk. If you are prone to seasickness, please take motion sickness medication before joining. Japanese is hardly understood, but it’s an enjoyable tour. If the timing is off when getting on and off the boat, you can get quite wet. Please board quickly while watching the wake. As mentioned by everyone, there is quite a wait. Even if the meeting time is 5 PM, the departure is around 5:45 to 6 PM. Bring minimal luggage. Towels are unnecessary. A waterproof camera is recommended. During this Obon season, a windbreaker is not needed. The voucher stating "comfortable shoes" is incorrect; wearing beach sandals is best. If you go on a Friday, you might enjoy the fireworks after sunset. You can view Waikiki from the sea, which is very nice. You can also see the layers of Diamond Head. If it's during the day, I recommend the snorkeling option.

9割くらいが外国人でした。スペシャルドリンクは酔わなくておススメです。船に酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでから参加して下さい。日本語はほぼ通じません。でも楽しめるツアーです。乗り降りの際にタイミングが悪いとかなり濡れてしまいます。引き波を見ながら、さっと乗船して下さい。皆様記載されていますが、かなり待たされます。集合時間が17時でも出航は17時45分～18時くらいです。荷物は少なく。タオルは不要。カメラは防水をお勧め。このお盆の季節ならウインドブレーカーは不要。歩きやすい靴というバウチャーは間違っています。ビーチサンダルで参加がベスト。金曜日ならサンセット後の花火を鑑賞できる時間帯も良いかも。ワイキキを海から眺められるので、とても良いです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの地層も見えます。昼間ならばシュノーケリング付がお勧めです。

We do this every time we come back! Great crew, great drinks and the sunset is always amazing
