All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

My husband and I booked this excursion while we were in Hawaii for our honeymoon. unfortunately, it was very cloudy and didn't get much of a sunset but the views of the island were beautiful. To make the adventure even better- throughout our sail we were visited by spinner dolphins. Absolutely amazing!
We would recommend to anyone!

The sunset, which allows you to enjoy the changing colors of the sky, was very beautiful, and seeing Waikiki from the sea was refreshing. The sunset cruise offers both the daytime scenery and the sparkling night view. There was little rocking of the boat, so even I, who am sensitive to motion, was able to enjoy it comfortably. In addition to unlimited Mai Tais, there was also champagne available!

空の色の変化を楽しめるサンセットもとてもキレイでしたが、海から見るワイキキも新鮮でした。サンセットクルーズは昼間の景色とキラキラ夜景の両方が漫喫出来ます。船の揺れも少なく、船に弱い私も快適に楽しめました♪マイタイ飲み放題の他にもシャンパンもありましたよ♪

I used this service on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The staff were all very friendly and cheerful. When I tried to take a selfie, a staff member offered to take a photo for me. However, I felt that the variety of dishes at the buffet was a bit lacking, so I rated it one star lower. The taste was just okay. After finishing the meal, we moved to the upper floor to watch the sunset.

There wasn't much time between the meal and the sunset, and we had quite a bit of time to spare from sunset until we disembarked, but we enjoyed a wonderful time watching live performances and hula!

ハワイに到着した日に利用しました。
スタッフの方はニコニコ、とても感じの良い方達ばかりでした。
自撮りしようとしたら、写真撮りましょうか？とスタッフの方から声を掛けてくれました。
ただ、ビュッフェの品数が少し物足りなかったので☆−1です。味はまぁ、こんなものかなと行った感じです。
お食事が終わってから上の階へ移動し、サンセットを見ました。

食事〜サンセットまであまり時間がなく、日没〜船を降りるまで割と時間を持て余しましたが、生演奏やフラを見れて素敵な時間を過ごせました！

I boarded with my aunts who are nearly 80 years old. I was worried about whether it would be okay for seniors, so I hesitated to sign up, but there was no severe rocking, and it was a relaxed cruise. The view of Honolulu from the sea was refreshing, and the breeze felt nice. I'm glad I went, but I really wish we could have gone a bit further out where dolphins might be.

80近い叔母たちと乗船しました。高齢者も大丈夫か不安で申し込みを迷ってましたが、激しい揺れもなく、ゆったりとしたクルーズでした。海からホノルルの景色が新鮮で風も気持ちよく、乗って良かったですが、もうちょっとほんとにイルカがいそうな沖まで行きたかったな。

I wanted to see the fireworks, so I went on Friday night. It was simply the best! I definitely think you should go! Next time, I want to ride during the day and in the evening. I highly recommend it!!!!

花火を観たくて金曜日の夜にしました。
ただただ最高です！
絶対乗るべきだと思います！
次は昼と夕方乗りたいと思います。
おすすめです！！！！

Brought friends visiting the island on this sail. This is the second time I've take this sunset sail on the North Shore and both times it was great. I've also done a sail in town but the north shore coastline and scenery is much better in my opinion. Boat and crew are top of the line.

It was a smaller ship compared to Star Cruises, but I think that was a good thing. The percentage of Japanese passengers was low, and everyone, including the staff, was friendly and it was enjoyable.

スタークルーズとは違う、こじんまりした船でしたが、それがよかったかなと思います。
日本人割合も少なく、スタッフの方も含め、みなフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

We were on our honeymoon and had a really great time. I would give it 4.5 stars but that wasn't an option so they got 5 because it was better than 4. Food was good and entertainment was excellent. Pictures and drinks were pricey but I guess that's expected.

I go to Hawaii twice a year and always ride on the first day, but it's amazing no matter when you ride!

The sunset is the best!!!

年に２回ハワイに行き必ず初日に乗りますが
いつ乗っても最高です！！

サンセットが最高！！！

Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.

I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.

The food was very good, the service was great and the memories are unforgettable!

After being asked to remove my shoes before going on board, I was not sure what to expect. However, it was a wonderful evening. The crew was very professional but friendly. Food was good as well. I think the number of passengers was perfect and was pleasantly surprised it was adults only. We have friends coming in April and have passed on the info so they can sign up for the Friday night sail.

Great trip...good food...beautiful scenery! I'd return to do it again!

I booked three experiences this time, but this was the best one. I didn't expect to be so moved just by the beautiful sunset. The boat itself was filled with a happy atmosphere, and I'm glad I scheduled it for the last day of our trip. My one-year-old baby didn't quite understand, but my 65-year-old mother enjoyed it for 10 minutes. We just cruised while drinking unlimited alcohol from cups as the sun set. Everyone was moved and taking photos. There were no Japanese-speaking staff, only English, but we had a great time.

今回3つの体験を申し込みましたがその中で1番よかったです。夕日が綺麗と言う事だけでこんなに感動するとは思いませんでした。船自体がハッピー感に包まれていて旅行の最終日に設定してよかったです。一歳の赤ちゃんはいまいち理解できていませんでしたが65歳の母は10分楽しんでいました。カップに飲み放題のお酒を飲んで夕日が沈む中ただただクルーズします。みんな感動して写真を撮っていました。日本語対応スタッフはいらっしゃらなくて英語だけでしたが楽しめました。

A great way to watch sunset from the water, friendly, informative & fun crew, great drinks!

I participated with a friend. I think this price is quite cheap considering it includes transportation, meals, and one drink. Most participants were from English-speaking countries, with only about 3 to 4 groups of Japanese. The explanations given on the ship after departure (such as the location of life jackets and the description of drink containers) were all in English. The meal was served buffet-style, and I think it's best to expect light snacks. The flavors were very delicious and seemed to appeal to Japanese tastes! It was the perfect time to relax, swaying with the waves while enjoying dinner and watching the sunset.

We cruised near Diamond Head until the fireworks started, but the waves were quite strong, which was a bit scary. (I recommend it for those who enjoy amusement park attractions like the "Viking" ride.) The wind was also quite strong, so it's essential to prepare for the cold. The fireworks can be seen beautifully from the front! After the fireworks ended, we headed back to the port, but I was a bit tired of the strong wind, so I was actually grateful for it (laughs). If I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.

友人と参加しました。
送迎、食事、ワンドリンクが付いてこの価格はかなり安いと思います。
参加者はほぼ英語圏の方ばかりで、日本人は3～4組くらいでした。
出発後に行われた船内の説明(救命胴衣の場所や、ドリンクの容器の説明など)はすべて英語です。
食事はビュッフェ形式で、軽食程度だと思って参加した方が良いかと思います。
日本人受けしそうな味付けで、とても美味しかったです！
船内の思い思いの場所で、食事をしながらゆったり波に揺られて、夕日を眺める最高の時間でした。
花火開始まで、ダイアモンドヘッド近くをクルーズしていましたが、波が強すぎて少し怖いくらいでした。
(遊園地の『バイキング』的なアトラクションが好きな方にはオススメ)
風もかなり強いので、絶対に防寒対策は必要です。
花火も正面からとても綺麗に見れます！
花火終了後は、すぐに港に引き返しますが、強風に少しうんざりしていたので、むしろ有り難かったです(笑)
ハワイを訪れたら、また絶対に参加したいと思います。

I bought this as a surprise birthday gift for someone and we both thought it was great. The crew on the catamaran were wonderful and the ukelele players were perfect. The only suggestion I would make, would be seperating the party people screaming almost the whole trip, as a seperate Sail (I was hoping for a low key sail lol) but otherwise fantastic!

I participated for the first time with my uncle, aunt, and my 4-year-old child. We saw a whale for the first time. My child was very moved as well. I want to participate again next time.

おじとおば、4歳の子供の4人で初めて参加しました。初めてクジラに会えました。子供もとても感動してましま。次回もまた参加したいです。

Wonderful entertainment. Beautiful view of Waikiki. Nice food. Great night out with the family.

It was great. Lovely people amacing sunset and delicious cocktails...

My wife and I participated together. Overall, we were satisfied because it was reasonably priced, including the all-you-can-drink option and the unique perspective of Diamond Head from the ocean side, which is not usually seen.

One point to note is the check-in line. A queue suddenly forms in front of a small chair on the sandy beach. Moreover, this chair, which serves as a marker, is quite hard to identify. We were distracted by the boat returning from the ocean and taking pictures, so by the time we noticed, we had no choice but to line up at the back. As expected, once we boarded the boat, we struggled to find a decent place to sit and ended up having to forcefully make space.

That said, the evening view from the venue was stunning and definitely worth seeing. Personally, I feel that participating with a larger group would be more fun and lively than just the two of us. Let's hope for luck in witnessing the sunset sinking into the "cloudless horizon" (laughs).

妻と二人で参加しました。
飲み放題であること、普段見られない角度（海側）からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺められること、を含め、金額的にもリーズナブルだったので全体的には満足でした。

注意点があるとすれば、チェックインの際に並ぶ場所。
砂浜にある小さな椅子の前に突然行列ができます。
しかも、この目印代わりの椅子がまぁ、判りにくいこと。
我々は沖から戻ってきた船に気を取られ写真を撮るなどしていたため、気づいた時には最後尾に並ぶしかありませんでした。
案の定、船に乗り込んでもまともに座れる場所が探せず、無理やりスペースを空けてもらう羽目になりました。

とは言え、会場から眺める夕方の景色は素晴らしく、一見の価値ありですね。
尚、あくまで個人的な感覚ですが、二人で参加するよりも大勢の仲間と乗る方がワイワイ騒げてきっと楽しめると思います。
「雲一つない水平線」に沈む夕陽が拝めるか、は運に期待しましょう（笑）。

I participated with a friend. There were only two groups of Japanese people, including us, and most of the attendees were foreigners, which made for excellent intercultural communication. At first, there wasn't much conversation, but as the drinks flowed, we gradually became closer, chatting and dancing to the music. I would like to participate again.

友達と2人で参加しました
日本人が私達を含めて2組しかいなくて
ほぼ外国人の方だったので異文化コミュニケーションに
は抜群皆でした。最初はみんな会話がなかったの
ですが、お酒が進むうちに徐々に親しくなり
会話をしたり、音楽に合わせて皆さん踊っていました。
また参加したいです

Amazing experience ! Food was great, the host was funny and the whole thing was just so much fun !

I made a reservation with the purpose of watching the fireworks, but it turned out to be an even more wonderful cruising experience. Of course, the fireworks were beautiful, and we could leisurely enjoy them from the sea.

We cruised slowly for about two hours on the dark ocean, and the view of Waikiki across the water was dazzling. While listening to music and enjoying drinks, just watching the waves was moving.

We even promised each other as a family that we would come back again! I think it's enjoyable for couples, families, and friends alike.

花火を見るのが目的で予約しましたが、それ以上に素晴らしいクルージングでした。もちろん花火は綺麗でしたし、海上からのんびり眺められました。
2時間ほど真っ暗な海をゆっくりクルージングし、対岸のワイキキは煌びやかで、音楽を聴きながらドリンクを頂き、波を見てるだけで感動でした。
その場で、家族でまた来ようね！と約束した程です。カップルでもファミリーでもお友達同士でも楽しめると思います。

My daughter, grandkids and I had a great experience with Star of Honolulu. The show mesmerized my grandkids and the "conga line" gave party boat a new meaning. Would live to go this activity again.

Was lots of fun . staff was great entertainment was awesome boat was very clean. Food was great

This was a very nice and romantic evening. We loved the food and atmosphere. It was a tad bit windy for flowey dresses, but several areas to get out of the wind if necessary.

There were people from various countries participating, so it really had a global feel ♥ It was lively and fun ((o(｡>ω<｡)o))

いろんな国からの方々が参加していたので、ほんとグローバル感ありました♥わぃわぃして楽しかったです((o(｡>ω<｡)o))

This tour, which allows you to enjoy both the sunset and fireworks, was highly rated in reviews, so I signed up without hesitation! On the day of the tour, there were some thin clouds... I set sail hoping to see a beautiful sunset. There were few Japanese people on the boat, mostly foreigners, which made me really feel like I was abroad. If you're good at English, I encourage you to join this tour and share a fun time with people from various countries! By the way, I can't speak English, but I was able to interact with a few foreigners, and it was enjoyable.

I was worried about the sunset, and although there were some clouds, the view peeking through was also beautiful! There were people on yachts watching the sunset, and my favorite photo of the sunset was taken through the yacht. As the day gradually turned to night, everyone eagerly awaited the vibrant fireworks that lit up the dark sky, accompanied by cheers from the crowd. It was a short time, but it was definitely worth it! I can't believe I got to see the first fireworks of the year in Hawaii! The staff were kind, and I truly felt that joining this tour was a great decision!

If you're considering participating in the tour, I highly recommend it for a wonderful night out of the ordinary!

サンセットと花火鑑賞が出来ると言う二度美味しいこのツアー、口コミ評価も高かったので迷わず申し込み！
当日は薄っすらと雲が…綺麗なサンセットが見れますようにと思いを馳せながら出航。
船には日本の方は少なく殆どが外国の方ばかりで海外に来たな〜っと実感出来る時間でした。
英語が得意な方はこのツアーに参加して色んな国の方と交流して楽しい時間を分かち合って楽しいひと時を過ごして下さい♪
因みに私は英語は話せませんが何名かの外国の方と交流が出来て楽しかったです。
心配していたサンセットは若干雲がありましたが雲間からこぼれ出す景色もまたよかったです！
周りにはヨットからサンセットを眺めている人達も居てヨット越しに写したサンセットの写真が、私の１番のお気に入りです♪
段々と日が暮れ皆んながまだかと待ちわびていた真っ黒な空に色鮮やかな花火が皆んなの歓声と共に広がった。
短時間だったけど見応えはあった！
今年最初の花火をハワイで見れるとは♡
スタッフの方々も優しくてこのツアーに参加して本当によかったと思いました！

ツアー参加を検討している方も是非参加して非日常の素敵な夜を過ごして下さい☆
