All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Was a great experience. Was extremely fun. Crew was very friendly, funny, and dedicated to giving a great experience. Definitely planning on repeating this.

I was able to see whales about four times, and it was really exciting!

However, since the captain's greetings and everything were in English, I was quite nervous (laughs). I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I could properly understand English. The food seemed delicious, but I couldn't handle the smell, so I couldn't participate in the cultural experience (^^;;)

クジラは4回くらい見ることができて、すごく盛り上がりました！

が、船長さんの挨拶や諸々が全て英語だったので、、結構緊張しました（笑）
ちゃんと英語がヒアリングできたらもっと楽しかっただろうなと思いました。
ご飯は美味しかったみたいですが、私は匂いがダメで・・文化体験も萎縮してしまって参加できませんでした(^^;;)

The rain and wind were strong, and unfortunately, the weather was not good. The captain announced that a whale had been spotted, but I couldn't see it at all. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done.

雨風共に強く、あいにくのお天気でした。キャプテンはクジラを発見したと放送がありましたが、まったくわかりませんでした。仕方ありませんが残念でした。

Great time. Wonderful staff; very friendly and professional.

Wonderful experience. Yummy drinks and a lot of fun.

About 20 minutes after departure, we set sail with the sails up, and right after that, the captain shouted, "Wow, a whale!" Looking ahead, we saw a whale spouting water. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and we had unlimited drinks including beer, Mai Tais, and soft drinks. The boat also had a proper restroom, which was reassuring. Plus, if you're lucky, you might get to see whales and dolphins like we did—it's a great and easy tour.

Just be careful as the explanations are all in English, and watch out for seasickness. But you can manage to catch the gist of the English through the atmosphere.

出航して20分ほど経ってから帆を張っての航行になるのですが、その直後キャプテンから「ワオ、ホエール！」と大きな声。前をよく見るとなんとクジラが潮吹きしているではありませんか。サンセットがとても美しかったのはもちろん、ビールやマイタイ、ソフトドリンクなどが飲み放題で、船にちゃんとトイレもあるので安心です しかも運が良ければ今回のようにクジラやイルカを見ることもできるお得で手軽なツアーです。
説明が全部英語なのと船酔いだけはお気をつけください。でも英語は雰囲気でなんとか聞き取れますよ。

I planned a trip to Hawaii during this season because I wanted to see whales. Believing that we would meet them, eight of us joined this option! We set off with excitement. However, the result was… disappointing. But still, I was gazing at the vast ocean the whole time on board, and it was a very pleasant cruise. We were lucky to have good weather. On the ship, my companion tried making a lei and got a lovely hair accessory. During lunch, while waiting in line, one of my companions got seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. We could also see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, making it a fun cruise. Thank you to the crew!

クジラさんが見たくて、この時期にハワイへ行く計画を立てました。クジラに会えると信じて、8名でこのオプションに参加！ルンルンで出発です。でも、結果は…残念でした。でもでも、私は乗船中、ずっと大海原を眺めていたのですが、とても気持ちの良いクルーズができました。天気に恵まれたのはラッキーでした。船内では、ツレがレイ作りに挑戦し、素敵な髪飾りをゲットしていました。ランチは順番を立って待っている時、船酔いしたツレもいたので、酔い止めをお勧めします。ワイキキのホテル群も海側から見られ、楽しいクルーズになりました。クルーさんたち、ありがとうございました。

We enjoyed this cruise. There are activities besides whale watching (lei making, ukulele lessons and hula lessons). We saw whales and dolphins. This is great for all ages.

If I had known the shuttle bus route, I wouldn't have used it. I can't believe it took an hour...

The air conditioning was too strong, and I got cold.

The breakfast was so bad and disappointing that I was speechless...

In bad weather, I strained my eyes on the deck for an hour, but the whales didn't show up; all I could see were small boats...

The worst part was that someone who got seasick had vomited, and it was left unattended for a long time...

I woke up early to go, but...

I would have been better off sleeping at the hotel. It was disappointing...

送迎バスのルートを知っていたら使いませんでした。まさか1時間もかかるとは、、
クーラーの効きすぎで身体が冷えました。

朝食もまずくてショボすぎて絶句…

悪天候の中デッキで目を凝らすこと1時間、、くじらはあらわれず、見えるのは小型ボートのみ、、

最悪なのは船酔いされた方が嘔吐したものが長時間放置されていたこと、、

せっかく早起きして行ったのに・・

これならホテルで寝てれば良かったです。残念でした、、

Friendly crew and beautiful scenery. Will definitely do again

My wife and I had a very nice time on the cruise. We decided to do the stake and all you can eat crab legs. The food was good and our waiter was very funny. The only thing we didn't like too much was the crowdedness. My wife is claustrophobic, so she didn't like that the tables were very close together. Other then that being our one complaint, this is a cruise worth doing. The sunset is beautiful!

THIS WAS THE MOST NICE OUT OF THE DINNER CRUISES WE ATTENED

Was awesome! Will most likely do this again for the 3rd time :) crab dinner was unlimited was nice

In February, known as the rainy season, I participated in my first whale watching cruise. After doing some research, I found that larger boats tend to sway less, which is reassuring for those prone to seasickness, so I signed up for this one. Since I am prone to motion sickness, I made sure to have a hearty breakfast before boarding, opting for a simple plan without breakfast.

On the day of the cruise, there was an unexpected heavy rain that surprised even the locals, but since there was no cancellation notice, we headed to the meeting point. However, after being taken to the port by bus, the tour guide strangely walked at the back of the line, leaving those of us at the front unsure of where to go in the rain. Once on board, no one provided any guidance (or any explanation at all), which led to people mistakenly going to the wrong deck or stopping confused near the entrance. Even after entering the ship, breakfast began without any proper explanation, so those on the no-breakfast plan were probably eating on their own.

I felt a bit nauseous from the smell of food around me, so I went out to the deck to look at the sea as soon as we set sail. Just listening to the announcements from the naturalist was enjoyable. The sea was quite rough with whitecaps, and even when the captain and naturalist announced they spotted a whale, it was honestly difficult for amateurs like us to see. If the weather had been clear and the sea calm, it might have been easier to spot them. It was disappointing, but since the weather and whale appearances are left to chance, I’ve come to accept it. Now I have a reason to try again someday.

However, I can't help but feel that if the care before and after boarding had been a bit more thorough, my overall satisfaction would have been much higher, leaving me with a sense of regret.

雨季と言われる2月、初めてのホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。
色々と調べた結果、酔いやすい人は大きな船の方が揺れが少なくて安心、と見たのでこちらに申し込みました。酔いやすいので朝ごはんもしっかり食べてから乗船しましたので、朝食も無しのシンプルプランで。

当日は現地の方も驚く豪雨でしたが、欠航の連絡もないのでひとまず集合場所へ。
しかしバスで港まで連れて行かれた後、添乗員の方は何故か列の最後方を歩いており、先頭あたりにいた私たちは、雨の中どこへ向かえばいいのかも分からず…
乗船後も誰も案内（というか一切の説明）をしてくれないので、間違ったデッキに上がってしまったり、訳が分からず入り口付近で立ち止まってしまう人ばかり。
船内に入った後も、特にちゃんとした説明もないまま朝食が始まったので、おそらく朝食無しプランの方も勝手に食べていたのではないでしょうか。

私は周囲の食事の臭いで酔いそうだったので、出港早々デッキに出て海を眺めていましたが、Naturalistのお姉さんのアナウンスを聞いているだけでも楽しかったです。
さすがに海は荒れて白波が立っており、CaptainやNaturalistの方がクジラを見つけたとアナウンスしてくれても、正直素人には発見は難しかったです。晴れて海面が穏やかなら、もう少し探しやすかったのでしょうか。
残念でしたが、お天気とクジラの出現は運任せですので、仕方なかったかなと諦めています。いつか再挑戦する名目ができました。

ただ乗船前後のケアがもう少ししっかりしていたら、全体的な満足度はもっと高かったんじゃないかと思うと、こちらは悔しい思いが残りました。

I participated in a whale watching plan that included breakfast and hotel transfers! To be honest, the breakfast was not great, but it was nice to have the opportunity to eat breakfast on the sea, so I’m glad I included it. The inside of the boat was air-conditioned and a bit chilly, so it's better to bring a jacket. As for the whale watching, I saw a few whale spouts, but I didn’t actually see any whales. Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about that. However, I was satisfied with the cruise as I could leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat!

朝食付きのホエールウォッチング、ホテルからの送迎付きのプランに参加しました！朝食は正直いまいちですが、海の上で朝食を食べる機会はそうそうないので朝食を付けて良かったです。船内は冷房が効いていて肌寒かったので、上着を持っていったほうが良いですね。肝心のホエールウォッチングですが、数回クジラの潮吹きが見れましたが、クジラは見れませんでした。。自然のことなので、こればかりは仕方ないですよね。船の上からゆっくりとワイキキの街並みやダイアモンドヘッドが見れたのでクルーズとしては満足でした！

I'm glad I participated. Although the meeting time was changed the day before, I received notifications via both email and phone, so I was able to join without any worries. It's much quicker and more reliable to enjoy the fireworks than searching for a restaurant at Hilton that has a view of them.

参加して良かったです。前日に集合時間が変更になりましたが、メール、電話の両方で連絡頂き、何の不安もなく参加する事ができました。ヒルトンの花火が見れるレストランを探すより手っ取り早くしかも確実に花火を満喫できます。

We went on a cruise with a senior couple we are close to. This was our second time, following last year, and since we had such a great experience then, we invited the senior couple along. The views from the boat were spectacular, and what I particularly recommend is seeing how the shape of Diamond Head changes from different angles as the boat moves. What made it even better was that the senior couple was truly impressed. We could go every time!

お世話になっている先輩ご夫婦と私たち夫婦でのクールスでした。私たちは昨年に続き２度目で、昨年とてもよかったので先輩ご夫婦をお誘いしました。船からの景観が総会で、とくにおすすめなのが、船からの角度の変化によって、ダイヤモンドヘッドの形が変わっていく様子を見ることができることです。何よりもよかったのが、先輩ご夫婦が感激してくださったことです。毎回行ってもいいですね。

I used this service with my mother. We opted for the premium course that included lunch, but unfortunately, the food was not very good for the price we paid, which was disappointing.

Additionally, while it was said that we could experience various activities, I couldn't understand the explanations about the whales since I don't speak English. The only information provided was a paper outlining the day's schedule, which wasn't very detailed.

There were no signals for when things were supposed to start, so I felt like I had to keep checking the time and act on my own. Many people also experienced seasickness, and overall, it was an activity that I wouldn't want to do again.

母親と利用させて頂きました。
ランチ付きのプレミアムコースにしましたが、まずは、食事が値段の割にはあまり良いものがなく、残念でした。
また、色々な体験が出来るとの事でしたが、英語が分からないのでクジラの説明も分からず、説明の紙も１日の流れが書いてあるのみで、あまり詳しく書いてありませんでした。
全て、始まる合図等ないので、時計を見て自身で行動する感じです。
船酔いの人もとても多く、もう一度利用したいとは思わなかったアクティビティでした。

Very special treatment throughout. Even though we had bad weather, the Captain accommodated us by performing some of the ceremony outside as rain permitted. The food and the service were the highest quality.

Since I came to Hawaii, I signed up for this, and it was really great. The sunset was very beautiful. In February, it can be a bit chilly, so I recommend dressing warmly. If I come again, I would like to sign up for this. The location is a bit hard to find, so I think it's better to check the map carefully.

ハワイに来たのだから、ということで申し込みましたが、とても良かったです。サンセットがとても綺麗でした。二月だと少し肌寒いので、厚着で行かれりことをおすすめします。また来ることがあったら申し込みたいです。場所が少しわかりにくいので、地図でしっかり確認した方が良いかと思います。

Due to the timing or weather, we were able to see the whales, but only for a brief moment as they surfaced. I think it also depends on luck, so we were just enjoying the cruise experience in the meantime.

時期的か天候の為かクジラは見えましたが背中が一瞬見える程度でした。運もあると思いますので僕たちはクルーズ気分を味わうついでにって感じでした。

If you're looking to enjoy fireworks on a Friday night, I highly recommend this tour. Watching the sunset from Waikiki Beach and the fireworks from the boat is fantastic. Personally, I think it's better to enjoy the fireworks on this tour rather than on a dinner cruise, and then head to a restaurant afterward. Since it can be windy on the water, it's a good idea to bring a jacket.

金曜日夜の花火を楽しむならぜひオススメなツアー。サンセットはワイキキビーチから、花火は船上から見れば◎。ディナークルーズよりもこちらのツアーで花火を堪能、終了後にレストランへ行ったほうが個人的には良いと思う。海上は風が強いので上着は一着持参したほうが無難。

This is my fourth time in Hawaii, but it was my first time seeing the sunset from the ocean. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sun setting because of the clouds, but just as the sun was about to set, the clouds parted perfectly, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I love the atmosphere of Hawaii, but this moment on the ocean gave me a different experience of Hawaii.

4回目のハワイですが洋上からの夕日は今回が初めてでした。
雲が出ていたので海に沈む夕日が見られるか不安でしたが、太陽が沈みかけた時にタイミングよく雲が切れてとても綺麗なサンセットが見られました。
ハワイの空気感が大好きですが、洋上でのひと時はまた違うハワイを味合わせてくれました。

This sail was great and I like it . Just the location was difculty to find for me. I walked around for while and asked a few of people, finally I found boarding place it is the time for boarding already.
Otherwise everything is very good, the stuff is nice and professional, the weather is good and the sailing tour is very enjoyable.

I saw an actor named Hosoda on TV having a great time on a cocktail cruise, so I thought it was a must-do when I went to Hawaii. I made a reservation and was really looking forward to it.

Since it was my first time in Hawaii and I wasn't familiar with the area, it was quite challenging to find the meeting place, but I made it just in time. The person at the reception was friendly, and when my wife mentioned she was from Osaka, it made me happy too. I didn't get seasick, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to understand most things through the atmosphere, and I could chat with a few people and exchange photos.

It was truly enjoyable, and I created wonderful memories of Hawaii.

　テレビで、細田君という俳優さんが、カクテルクルーズですごく楽しそうにしておられたので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に外せないと思い、予約して、楽しみにしていました。
　初めてのハワイで、土地勘がなかったので、集合場所にたどり着くまで大変でしたが、ギリギリ間に合いました。受付の人はフレンドリーで、妻は大阪の人だと言っておられ、私もなんかうれしくなりました。船酔いもなく、英語は話せなかったけど、雰囲気で大体のことがわかり何人かの人とお話もできたし、写真も交換できました。
　本当に、楽しくてハワイの素敵な思い出ができました。

This was my second time going. Was a lot of fun and will do it again in the future. Be sure to call them direct if you are trying to book last minute

Went on the cruise and wouldn't you know it, the day clouded over Kate afternoon so there was no sunset that might. The food was great and the drinks were great. It was a calm night so eating buffet style wasn't a huge problem. Would be nice to have a table to sit and eat. Saw lots of whales

I will definitely recommend to my friends. It's great!

I will definitely recommend to my friends. It's great!

It was quite cold for the season. Since it was Friday night, it was pretty dark except for the fireworks, and surprisingly, the sunset might have been better? The fireworks were beautiful! They ended quickly though^^; I couldn't enjoy my cold Mai Tai because it was so chilly^^;

季節的にも結構寒かったです。金曜夜だったので、花火以外は結構真っ暗で、意外にもサンセットの方が、良いのかな？、、、花火はきれいでした！すぐ終わっちゃったけど^^;寒くて冷たいマイタイも進まず^^;
