All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

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^^;

Unfortunately, I could only see a glimpse of the whale's tail spouting water from a distance, and that was it. Before disembarking, I received a ticket for free boarding on a later date as a form of recovery response. I believe the recovery ticket had a validity of about three months, but I didn't have the time to use it during my stay.

残念ながら、遠くで潮を吹いたクジラの尾びれが少しだけ見えましたが、それだけでした。
下船前の船内で、翌日以降に無料で乗船できるチケットをもらい、一応のリカバリー対応はありました。
リカバリーチケットは3カ月程度の有効期限が有ったと思いますが、滞在中に時間が取れず利用はしませんでした。

Definitely try to do this as a group. Most go on it for the open bar, which is a few beers, champagne, one wine and a mixed drink that they have in a keg. I would recommend for a big group, but not for a couple

All of it was awesome! Crew (helpful and pleasant) appetizers (did not skimp) dinner (delicious and plenty), music (love the sounds, fit the ambiance), history narrator (interesting and fun). We even saw a couple whales! Cruising on the water at night added to the wonderful experience!

I participated because I wanted to see the sunset over the ocean. There were just over 10 groups of participants, and among them, there were 3 groups of Japanese, including us. The atmosphere was filled with wonderful music, delicious cocktails (there were soft drinks available too), and beautiful scenery. We even got to see a whale, and everyone got excited with a big "fuuu~!"

Since it was a yacht and a windy day, I was very worried about getting seasick (I tend to get seasick easily...), but thanks to taking motion sickness medication before the trip and trying to look far away, I was able to enjoy the cruise without feeling sick at all!

There were no particular issues during the cruise, but I think it would be even more reassuring if there was a guide who could speak Japanese. Also, since you get hit directly by the sea breeze, I recommend bringing long sleeves.

I would love to participate again!

サンセットを海の上で見てみたくて参加しました♪
参加者は10組ちょっとといったところでしょうか。そのうち日本人は私たちも含め3組。素敵な音楽と美味しいカクテル(ソフトドリンクもありました)、そして美しい景色とムード満点でした。なんとクジラも見る事ができ、全員でfuuu〜♪と盛り上がりました！
ヨットだったのと風が強い日だったので、船酔いしないか非常に心配でしたが(当方比較的酔いやすいです…^^;)、参加前に酔い止めを飲み、なるべく遠くを見るようにしていたお陰か全く酔わずにクルーズを楽しむことができました♪
今回のクルーズ中は特に問題ありませんでしたが、日本語の分かるガイドさんが乗られてるともっと心強いかなと思います。あとは海風にダイレクトにあたるので、長袖は持って行くことをオススメします。
また参加したいです！

There were over 30 members from diverse international backgrounds on board. We had a great time with people from Europe, mainland America, and Asia, enjoying drinks together. The most popular order was the Monster (a cocktail made with the energy drink Monster).

Since it was February, it was quite chilly, and getting wet through the net made me shiver. But that was part of the fun (laughs).

I originally joined on the recommendation of a colleague, and I was very satisfied, just as I had heard. I would love to participate again.

国際色ゆたかなメンバーで、30人以上は乗船していたと思います。ヨーロッパ、アメリカ本土、アジア、お酒の力も借りてワイワイ。オーダー率が高かったのは、モンスター。(エナジードリンクのモンスターを使ったカクテル)
2月ということもあり、結構肌寒く、ネット越しに濡れるとガクブルでした。でもそれが楽しい(笑)

元々参加したのも、同僚のすすめだったのですが
前評判通り大満足。また参加したいです。

It was my first time going whale watching. I joined with the mindset that it would be lucky if I got to see any, but I was able to see them multiple times. I learned that whales surface for air about once every 15 minutes, so once we spotted one, we could see it several times. It was a bit far away, but it was incredibly impressive. I'm glad I participated.

生まれて初めてのホエールウォッチング。見れたらラッキー程度の気持ちで参加しましたが、何回も見ることができました。
クジラは息継ぎの為に15分に１度くらいで浮上してくるそうなので、一度見つけたら何回も見ることができました。
少し遠かったけど大迫力でした。
参加してよかったです。

Great time and good drinks!!!! Great crew and a good crowd was on broad

I was hoping to see maybe a blow or just a brief glimpse of a whale but we saw a whale show like I could never imagined. They called it the running of the bulls and it was whales breaching the water together jumping and showing off like they new we were there to see them. Breakfast was good a few more options for the price would have been appreciated, maybe bacon, potatoes, or some veggies and cheese to go with the scrambled eggs.

I ordered this for my friends, a family of 4, during their Hawaii trip. For they saw my posts, and love to go. However, because they have a 1.5-yr old, they can't go to the Five Star option, so they went to this one. They loved it. They said the lobster is about the size of their baby girl. Thank you for your service!

The day before was rainy, and there were strong winds on the day itself, so I understood to some extent, but I was unable to see any whales. The sea was rough, and even though it was a large ship, it was rolling and certainly not in a comfortable environment.

I understand that nature is unpredictable, so I can accept not seeing anything, but it left me feeling dissatisfied that there was no interaction at all on the ship or the return bus before we parted ways.

I at least wanted a word of acknowledgment.

前日雨、当日強風という日でしたのですある程度理解はしていましたが、クジラは見る事ができませんでした。
海はシケていたので、大型船ですがうねりながらと決して快適とも言えない環境でした。

見れなかったことに対しても自然が相手だからわかりますが、船でも、帰りのバスでも全く触れないまま解散と、なんだか不満だけが残りました。

せめて、ひと言欲しかったです。

We are a family of 5 adults and this was our first sunset dinner cruise and it exceeded all our expectations. Everything about the event was exceptional starting by the pickup at our hotel ,the check-in process,the photos,the reserved seating,the drinks,the food and the food servers. We were entertained by the singer/guitar player throughout which was very pleasant. The weather was perfect and we were thrilled when a humpback whale and her baby were breeching within our view. We are looking forward to a whale watching cruise on the Maui Princess in a few days as part of the special package deal. We highly recommend the Maui Princess.

Unfortunately, we were not blessed with good weather and couldn't see the sunset, but we encountered a whale. They chased after the whale, and we quickly switched to whale watching. Thanks to their quick thinking, even though we couldn't see the sunset, it wasn't a wasted experience, and everyone was satisfied.

残念ながら天候に恵まれなくサンセットは見れませんでしたが
なんと、クジラに遭遇。
鯨を追いかけてくれて急遽ホエールウォッチングに変更になりました。
機転をきかせてくれたのでサンセットが見れなくても無駄にはならず
利用者みんな満足してました。

As soon as we set sail, there was a whale at 3 o'clock!
Could it be a cute baby whale?
It even showed us its bridge style!
We also saw a mother and baby whale's backs while being sent off by dolphins and in the harbor upon our return!
I was so happy to see so many!

出港するやいなや、3時方向にクジラが！と。
まだかわいらしい子クジラでしょうか？
ブリッジスタイルもしてくれました❗
イルカの見送りや帰港の湾内では親子クジラの背中が！
たくさん会えて嬉しかったです！

My family went on this amazing trip expecting to see whales spray and slap their tails against the water. We did get that and so much more. We got to see at least two whales breaching numerous times and just playing, diving in and out of the water. It was so incredible. That early wake up was 100% worth it. The boat was very spacious and I really enjoyed the ride. The crew narrator was very informative and the whole crew, especially the captain were very professional. Highly recommend this outing.
