A group of us took the Holkai Catamaran for a friend's bachelor party. We had a great time. The staff really made it fun and met some great people on the cruise as well. Would highly recommend!

I participated in this tour to see the Hilton fireworks on Friday. The moment I got on the boat, I was moved by the beautiful sunset. The Hilton fireworks lasted about five minutes, which was quite short, but the view from the boat was amazing with nothing blocking my sight. The cocktail I had (Mai Tai) was delicious, and I enjoyed a luxurious adult experience while watching the sunset and fireworks. The night breeze was quite strong, and it felt a bit chilly, so I recommend bringing a light jacket. Thank you very much.

今回金曜日のヒルトンの花火を見るためにこちらのツアーに参加しました。
船に乗った瞬間、とても美しい夕陽を見れて感動しました。
ヒルトンの花火は5分程度ととても短い時間でしたが、船上からの花火は目の前に何も遮るものがなく最高でした。
いただいたカクテル（マイタイ）も美味しく、夕陽と花火を眺めながら贅沢な大人の遊びという感じで楽しい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
夜風が結構強く、肌寒く感じるので薄手の上着を持って行くのをおすすめします。
ありがとうございました。

The cruise was both pleasant and entertaining. It was a great way to cap off our last day in Hawaii.

Fireworks are definitely the best in Japan, but enjoying a Mai Tai while swaying on a boat and looking at the night view of Waikiki is the best! Oahu was filled with Japanese people no matter where I went or which tour I joined, but when I participated, there were only four girls and two older couples! Even so, I felt it was safer and more secure than going to a bar! I recommend it for those who want to experience a foreign atmosphere and for first-time travelers abroad!

花火はやはり日本が1番ですが、船に揺られワイキキの夜景を眺めながらのマイタイは最高です★オアフはどこに行ってもどのツアーに参加しても日本人だらけでしたが、わたしが参加したときは女の子4人組と年配のご夫婦2組だけでした！それでもBARに行くより安心で安全だと感じました！外国気分を味わいたい方、初海外の方にもおすすめです♪

The crew was cheerful, and with the option to drink alcohol, the atmosphere on board was full of fun. However, there are a few points that Japanese travelers should be cautious about, which may be helpful for those participating in the future.

1. The departure location is hard to find.
2. You will almost get completely soaked when boarding.
3. The time between the meeting time and departure is wasted.

Regarding point 1, as others have mentioned, since it's within the hotel premises, it was very difficult for those not staying there to find. I went for a preview the day before, but there were no landmarks, so I was anxious until the day of departure.

For point 3, there was no designated line for boarding, and passengers were scattered around, so even though I arrived well before the 5:00 PM meeting time, I ended up being one of the last to board.

If you're used to the proper service found in Japan, you might feel a bit confused. Honestly, I was quite skeptical about these issues before boarding, but the cruise itself was enjoyable.

クルーの人達が陽気な感じで、お酒も飲めるとあって、船内は楽しさいっぱいでした。
ただし、日本人的には気を付けなければならない点がいくつかありますので、今後参加される方のご参考になれば。
1.　出航場所が分かりづらい
2.　乗船する時にほぼびしょぬれになる
3.　集合時間から出航までの時間が無駄

1.は、別の方も書いていますが、ホテルの敷地内ですので、そこに宿泊していない者にとっては非常に分かりづらかったです。前日に下見に行ったのですが、何の目印もないので、当日まで不安でした
3.は、乗船用の列がなく、お客さんはその辺に散らばっていたので、集合の17:00よりかなり前に行ったのに、いざ乗り込む時は一番最後になってしまいました．．

日本のように、きちんとしたサービスに慣れていると、少々戸惑うかもしれません。
正直、私は乗船する前は、これらのことで疑心暗鬼でしたが、クルーズ自体は楽しかったです。

This was my second dinner cruise on my third trip to Hawaii, but it seemed shorter than the last time. I was disappointed that the cruise ended before the night view started.

三度目のハワイ旅行で二度目のデイナークルーズでしたが前回より時間が短かつたようでした。夜景が始まる前にクルーズが終わり残念でした。

The pleasant sea breeze of Hawaii, the shimmering Diamond Head at sunset, and a cruise while sipping on the original Mai Tai was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. My sister, my daughters, and I participated, and it was everyone's first yacht cruise, but everyone loved it. The original Mai Tai on the Mai Tai Catamaran was as delicious as the crew boasted, and everyone had multiple drinks. About 30% of the participants were Japanese, but everyone was cheerful and having a great time. As the reviews said, the cost performance is very good. For attire, we participated in locally sourced muumuu dresses, but since the wind lifted the hems, I think shorts would be less bothersome. We took off our beach sandals and went barefoot. We didn't get wet on the yacht, but when boarding, the hem of my dress got wet from the waves on the beach. That was fun too. Before boarding, they take group photos with Diamond Head in the background. They take really beautiful photos, so I recommend buying them. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Honolulu. The crew, who kept the atmosphere lively, was also great! I am looking forward to joining again!

ハワイの心地良い海風と夕日に輝くダイヤモンドヘッド、そしてオリジナルのマイタイを飲みながらのクルーズは、旅の締めくくりにぴったりでした。
私と妹、娘たち4人での参加でみんな初のヨットクルーズでしたが、全員絶賛していました。
マイタイ カタマラン号のオリジナルマイタイは、クルーの自慢通り、とても美味しくみんな何杯も飲んでいました。
参加者は、日本人は3割程度でしたが、みんな陽気に楽しく盛り上がっていました。
口コミ通り、コスパもとても良いと思います。
服装は、私たちは現地調達したムームードレスで参加しましたが、風ですそがめくれるので、ショートパンツなどのほうが気にならないと思います。
足元は、ビーチサンダルをぬいで裸足になります。
ヨット上では濡れなかったですが、ヨットに乗り込むときに浜辺の波でドレスのすそが濡れました。それも楽しかったですが。
乗船前にグループごとにダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮ってくれます。
凄くきれいに撮ってくれるので買う事をオススメします。
次回のホノルル旅行のときにも、またぜひとも参加したいと思っています。
楽しく盛り上げてくれたクルーもGOOD！！です。
また、ぜひとも参加したい思っています♪

Beautiful afternoon/evening cruise - recommend the catamaran option, crew were great fun & accommodating - probably don't need the dinner option as food is not the focus of the experience

We thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was average. The staff very friend,
Ly All we expected it to be

Ninety-nine percent of the people on board were foreigners. Everyone was very cheerful, and I thought that foreign people and Japanese aunties are universally the same! However, it was disappointing that there was only one type of free drink.

乗船している人は９割9分外国人でした。
皆さんとっても陽気で外国の人も日本のおばちゃんも万国共通なんだ！と思いました。
ただ無料ドリンクは一種類だけだったのが残念でした。

We had our wedding in Hawaii in January and used this for the after-party. Everyone had quite a bit to drink, but it was a comfortable cruise without much swaying. We were lucky to unexpectedly see whales. Be careful, as it takes quite a while to walk from the Hilton to the beach.

1月にハワイで結婚式を挙げ、2次会で利用しました。皆さんかなり酒が入っていましたが、特に揺れる事も無く、快適なクルーズでした。思いがけず、鯨を見る事が出来てラッキーでした。ヒルトンからビーチを歩いていくと、かなりかかるので要注意です。

I used this service on the first day of my trip! Since we set sail while it was still light out, I was able to enjoy the beautiful blue sky, the blue ocean, and the view of Waikiki! I was also moved by the beauty of the sunset afterward! When we participated, it was very quiet. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely cruise while savoring a meal along with hula dancing and live singing! When choosing the sunset cruise, I was torn between a yacht or this option, but since I was with my mother this time, I was glad we chose the relaxing cruise with transportation included! I had checked the meal options in advance, so I didn't have high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed as long as I thought of it as a bonus. The staff's service was also good! I was especially happy that the bartender spoke Japanese and engaged in conversation with us!

旅行初日に利用しました！
明るいうちに出航するので、青空と青い海とワイキキの景色を気持ちよく堪能！その後サンセットの美しさに感動しました！
私たちが参加した時は、とても空いていました。そのおかげか食事をしながら、フラダンスと生歌を堪能し、ゆったりとクルージングを楽しめました！
サンセットクルーズを選ぶ時に、ヨットにするか迷いましたが、今回は母と一緒だったので送迎付きのゆっくり過ごせるクルージングにして良かったです！
食事内容は事前に確認していたので、あまり期待はせず、おまけ程度と思えば不満はありませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応も良かったです！特にバーテンダーの方が日本語の出来る方で、沢山話しかけて下さったのが嬉しかったです！

This was a fun cruise...good music, great staff, fun atmosphere...we were especially happy and grateful to the staff, as we were a group of 8, celebrating a friend's 60th birthday. Three of us had neglected to get tickets in time, and were on standby, hoping that we'd all get on the boat. Luckily, we were all able to go on the cruise, making this a special event for our friend...thanks so much, Holokai Catamaran!

The captain and crew were great and they made the cruise enjoyable. The ride was nice even tho' it did not go to sunset, probably about 1/2 hour short. Major complaint was that the wine selection was WEAK. No red!!

We participated with our son's girlfriend. The weather was perfect, and we were on a boat that could hold about 50 people. In the past, I had a trauma from a shaky boat in Thailand, but this time it didn't rock at all, and it was very comfortable. For lunch, we could choose our favorite drinks and eat as much salad as we wanted. The staff was very kind and always attentive. I was so happy that I didn't have to give a tip, but I decided to be generous. At the bow of the boat, dolphins joyfully led the way in groups, and the cliffs of Na Pali were breathtakingly beautiful no matter where you looked. I'm really glad we went.

息子の彼女と私たち夫婦で参加しました。お天気は最高で、50人乗り位のボート。
昔、タイで揺れたボートにトラウマでしたが、今回は全然揺れなくって、快適でした。
ランチは、好きな飲み物をもらって、サラダも食べたいだけ食べれて。スタッフもとても親切。いつも気にかけてくれました。嬉しくてチップ渡さなくてもいいのだけど、奮発しました。
船首の先をイルカたちが楽しそうに群れでリードしたり、ナパリの崖はどこを見ても圧倒される美しさ。本当に行ってよかった。

I'm glad I could see the Hilton fireworks. However, 90 minutes might be surprisingly long!? It started to rain halfway through, and I think 60 minutes would have been enough!

ヒルトンの花火が見られて良かった。
だけど90分は意外と長いかも！？
途中スコールも降ってきて、60分でも十分だと思う！

We participated as a couple, and it was a more exciting cruise than we had imagined. I personally had a great time, but I think those who are prone to motion sickness would have a very painful experience, as it was difficult to stand properly for about three hours. You need to be prepared for that. However, during the cruise, the captain played JD and we enjoyed some great music, which was very nice. Along the way, we encountered dolphins and turtles, and the views of the beautiful islands were stunning. We ended with a toast with champagne at sunset.

夫婦で参加しましたが、想像したよりもエキサイティングなクルーズでした。
まともに立っていられない状態が3時間ほど続き、私自身は楽しかったですが、乗り物いする方は大変苦痛な時間を過ごされると思います。覚悟が必要と思いますが、クルーズ中船長がJDをしてロックが流れてとてもNiceでした。
途中イルカや亀にも出会い、素晴らしい島の景色と最後はサンセットにシャンペンで乾杯です。

My wife and I went on the Captain Cook dinner cruise last week, and it was much better than either of us expected. The musical entertainment was first class, and we were able to watch spinner dolphins and short-finned pilot whales. It was hard to hear the narration of the historical sites, but that was probably our fault for sitting on the other side of the boat. We would definitely do this again if we ever visit Kona in the future.

Last time, I watched the sunset on a cocktail cruise, so this time I decided to join a dinner cruise. I was satisfied to be able to sit back comfortably and enjoy the sunset and the city while sipping welcome champagne.

As for the meal, it felt similar to a lunch buffet that you could find in Japan for around 1,000 to 2,000 yen.

Perhaps a cocktail cruise where you choose and purchase your favorite items at a market or supermarket, and then enjoy them at the hotel while soaking in the atmosphere, might be a safer option.

前回は夕日をカクテルクルーズで観たため、今回は夕食付きクルーズをと思い参加しました。
ゆったりと席について、ウェルカムシャンパンをいただきながら夕焼けや街を観ることができ、それには満足しました。
食事については、日本で千～二千円くらいで食べられるランチビュッフェのような感じでした。

もしかしたら、カクテルクルーズ→マーケットやスーパーで好きなものをチョイスして購入し、ホテルで余韻にひたりながら食べる、とかのほうが無難かもしれません。

They take you quite far out into the ocean. There’s an all-you-can-drink alcohol option, but they also had non-alcoholic tropical cocktails that tasted just like the tropical blended cocktails. You can still have fun even if you don’t drink. It can get quite bumpy, so if you’re prone to seasickness, it might be better to skip it. Most of the participants were foreigners, and they seemed to enjoy the rocking. There were groups dancing energetically to the loud music, and just being in the same space was fun. If you have plans afterward, please allow for extra time. They took us out to sea for about 20 minutes longer than scheduled. I think it’s a good idea to make restaurant reservations with some buffer time.

けっこう沖まで行ってくれます。
アルコール飲み放題ですが、
トロピカルなブレンドのカクテルと同じ味の
ノンアルコールのトロピカルなカクテルも
用意されていました。
お酒が飲めなくても楽しめます。
かなり揺れるので、酔いやすい人はやめておいた方がいいかも知れません。
参加していたのはほとんどが外国人で、
その揺れも楽しんでいました。
大音量で流れる音楽でノリノリで踊っているグループもいて
同じ空間にいるだけで楽しかったです。
このあとの予定があるかたは、時間は長めに見ていてください。
予定よりも20分ほど長めに海に出てくれていました。
レストランなどの予約は、余裕を持って予約するといいと思います。

This time, I participated with my family of four. Riding on the cruiser and watching the sunset in Hawaii was truly moving. The cheerful behavior of the foreigners made us feel united across borders, and the two hours flew by. I plan to join again the next time I come to Hawaii. Everyone, please consider participating as well. Aloha!!

今回、家族４人で参加しました。クルーザーに乗ってハワイてのサンセットは大変感動でした。外人さんの陽気な振る舞いに国境を越えて何かひとつになれてあっという間の２時間でした。次回ハワイに来た時また参加しようと思います。皆さんも是非、参加してみて下さい。アロハ!!

This is by far the best dinner cruise on the Island ,music,dancing,and a fun time ,The food was outstanding ,the crew could not do enough for you ,this would be a first for me 10 out 10 ,and bonus seen dolpins again ,top sunset .
,
And CPt Cook site

Had a great time and the ride was amazing with seeing Waikiki from afar...

During my last visit to Hawaii, I experienced a dinner cruise, but since the meal was the main focus, I wanted to enjoy the sunset more this time, so I participated in this cruise. It departs from the Sheraton beach, so I think it's best to go in beach sandals. You can go barefoot on the boat and store your belongings under the seats.

Aside from us, there was only one other group of Japanese participants, and most of the attendees were foreigners. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, including Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks. Everyone was cheerful, enjoying their drinks and dancing to upbeat music, which was quite impressive.

As for the main event, the sunset, there were no clouds, and I was able to enjoy the moment when the sun sank, painting the sea and sky a brilliant red. This cruise offers a 360-degree view of the ocean, which was very refreshing.

The boat does sway quite a bit when it accelerates, but I didn't feel seasick. The wind was pretty strong and felt cold, so I think having something to cover up would be a good idea. I had a wonderful time and would love to do it again.

前回ハワイを訪れた際はディナークルーズを体験したのですが、食事がメインだったためもっとサンセットを満喫したいと思い参加しました。
シェラトンのビーチから出航するのでビーチサンダルで行くのがいいと思います。船では裸足になり、座席の下に荷物を入れておくことができます。
参加者は私達以外に日本人の方は1組しかおらず、ほとんど外国の方でした。
ドリンクは飲み放題で、マイタイをはじめビールやソフトドリンクもあります。
皆さん陽気で、お酒を楽しみながらアップテンポな曲に合わせてノリノリだったのが印象的でした。
メインのサンセットですが、雲もなく、太陽が海と空を真っ赤に染めて沈んでいく瞬間を楽しむことができました。
こちらのクルーズは360度全方位から海を眺められるのでとても開放感があってよかったです。
船が加速する時はかなり揺れますが、酔うことはありませんでした。
風が結構強くて寒く感じるので、羽織るものがあるといいと思います。
とても満喫できました。また利用したいです。

I'm 65, 2 heart attacks on my resume and was never much of an adventurer. Your Catamaran ride woke me to what I've been missing. Thank you !!! Will I do it again? Absolutely!!! As a matter of fact, your ride out to the open sea prompted me to schedule to some parasailing Tuesday. I hope that answers your "review" Thanks again. . .

On the night we arrived in Honolulu, just before my daughter's wedding the next day, we boarded the ship. I had been on this cruise over a decade ago and had a great experience, so this was my second time. With the captain and crew's enjoyable conversations and atmosphere, we had some drinks and were able to watch the sunset. In the end, we got completely soaked from a downpour, but that was part of the fun. My jet lag has completely worn off. I had prepared a parka for the rain, but be careful as it can get chilly with just a short-sleeve T-shirt.

ホノルルに到着した夜、娘の結婚式を翌日に控えた日に乗船しました。10数年前にも乗船してとても良かったので、今回が2度目でした。船長・クルーの楽しい会話と雰囲気の中、お酒も進み、サンセットも見ることができました。最後はスコールでびしょ濡れでしたが、それも楽しみに一つです。時差ボケが完全に抜けました。私は雨対策でパーカーを準備しておりましたが、半袖Ｔシャツだけだと寒くなるので要注意です。

The sunset cruise was amazing, feeling the fresh air, sea breeze, and sunlight all around. After departing, we sailed along the Waikiki coast, getting views of Diamond Head and Kahala, then tacked back on our course. The sunset illuminated Waikiki, Diamond Head, Kahala, and the mountains beyond, creating a beautiful glow. On the way back, we sailed towards the sunset.

It felt wonderful. The crew was friendly, and the deck was filled with people from various countries, all enjoying the natural beauty and the atmosphere was great with everyone feeling high from the beauty and the drinks.

I definitely want to use this service again when I go back to Hawaii!

外気、潮風、日光をもろに感じ浴びながらのサンセットクルーズ最高でした。
出港後ワイキキ沿岸をダイアモンドヘッド、カハラが臨めるくらいまで帆走し、その後タックして戻るコース。夕日に照らされるワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド、カハラそしてその向こうにある山々の輝き。帰りは夕日に向かっての帆走。

とても気持ちよかったです。クルーもフレンドリーだし、またいろんな国の人が混じった甲板上も皆自然の美しさとアルコールでハイになりとてもいい雰囲気でした。

またハワイに行くときには利用したいですね！

The sunset cruise was the best thing on Oahu for my honeymoon. This activity was so relaxing.

Was really well done. Worth the money. Great entertainment and food.
