All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Overall it was a fun activity. Clean boat, good drinks, friendly staff, etc. However it was a bit presumptuous on their part to require your picture be taken for an upsell opportunity before you could board the boat. They had all the guests lined up for pictures like grade school photo day. Cheesy! Then of course after the cruise came the sales pitch the second you stepped back on shore. I was literally chased down the beach....LOL. Well it is the 21st century now, so many of us just used our smart phones instead at no additional cost. Other than this odd irritation I had an enjoyable cruise. Thank you.

From the description and images, I imagined a course meal to be enjoyed at a table, but when I actually participated, it was a buffet style, with dining taking place somewhere on the ship. The fireworks were not viewed up close, but rather from a distance; however, I think the viewing points were not bad. It was also nice that the deck was open, allowing us to sit wherever we liked.

写真の画像、説明文から、コース料理、テーブルで食べるイメージをしていましたが、
実際に参加してみると、バイキング形式、船のどこかで食べるといったスタイルでした。
花火も間近での鑑賞ではなく、遠くで見る感じでしたが、鑑賞ポイントは悪くないと思います。
デッキも自由だったので、好きなところにすわれたのは良かったと思います。

My husband had a great time during the Fireworks cruise. Even though it felt like a lot of people were on board, everyone had a great vantage point for the fireworks show. Afterwards, we enjoyed boating, the views, and unlimited maitais (as well as other alcoholic drinks). The crew was friendly and check in on us, check in/check out was easy, but I would recommend bringing a light sweater because it does get chilly at night!

Great time, great crew, stunning scenery. They don't overcrowd the boat so there is plenty of room to move around. The crew makes the evening entertaining by socializing and they take pictures on request.

Should be adults only since it is open bar, but it is amazing. A must do activity.

I participated to see the fireworks. The last time I joined, it was a daytime cruise, but this time it was my first night cruise. The atmosphere was completely different, and I really enjoyed it. The fireworks viewed from the boat were amazing, and I also enjoyed a delicious Mai Tai! It seemed like we took a route that we didn't go on during the daytime cruise, going all the way to Ala Moana and the harbor side, which allowed us to see a wonderful atmosphere that we usually don't get to experience.

花火を見るために参加しました。
以前参加した時は、昼間のクルーズだったのですが、今回は初めての夜のクルーズ。全く雰囲気も違うし、楽しめました。
船から見る花火は最高で、マイタイも美味しく頂きました！昼間のクルーズでは行かないルートを通ったのか、アラモアナ、ハーバー側にまで行ってくれて、普段見れない雰囲気も見ることができてステキでした。

We would like to thank the staff of veltra for their outstanding services with helping making our dream vacation a reality, we really enjoyed the Dinner Cruise - the staff on the boat were perfect, dinner was delicious, show was very enjoyable!

Thanks Again

Fun way to spend a friday evening. Great sailing experience. Met some other friendly travellers. The drinks were certainly flowing! If I were to do it again I would have 2 shakers, instead of 3!!

I felt refreshed! The breakfast was a buffet, and I enjoyed it deliciously! After the meal, I went up to the deck, lay down on a chair, and relaxed while feeling the sea breeze—it was the best! I was also able to see whales in the distance! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii in the winter!

気分爽快でした！朝食もバイキングでしたが、おいしくいただきました！食後は甲板に上がり、イスに横になり、海風にあたりながらまったり最高でした！クジラも遠目でしたが見ることができました！また冬時期にハワイに行くときは参加したいと思います！

The all-you-can-drink option is great, and the crew is friendly. The space is a bit cramped, but there is a restroom available. However, it can be slightly visible from outside, so it's better for women to take care of that before boarding.

飲み放題もついいてクルーも気さくで少し狭いですがトイレもついていていますが外から若干見えてしまいますので女性の方は乗る前に済ましておいた方が良いです

It was a great night out with my best friend. Phillipe and Dave were both great and the view was amazing.

The experience was fun, the catamaran is nice with plenty of seating & standing room. Some drinks at the bar, you just cruise out, watch the fireworks & cruise back. The kids had a great time but I think it's definitely better for adults without kids. Fireworks go for about 5 mins.

I wanted to see the fireworks from the seaside on Friday, so I participated. The ship was fully booked, and the buffet guests and lobster dinner guests were on the same floor. Buffet guests could quickly grab their food and leave, but those having the lobster dinner had to wait for their meals to be served, which took quite a bit of time.

The ship isn't that large, so even without a window seat, there was plenty of opportunity to see the outside scenery, which was nice. I was told that the window seats were fully booked, so I couldn't request one, but I was lucky enough to have a window seat.

When asked if I would go again, I think I would prefer to go to a restaurant at the Hilton to watch the fireworks instead. I think once is enough for me.

海側から金曜日の花火が見たいと思い、参加しました。船内は満席で、ビュッフェの人とロブスターディナーの人が同じフロアでした。
ビュッフェの人は早く取って、食べて出ていけるのですが、ロブスターディナーの人は料理が運ばれてくるのを待つしかなく・・・結構、時間がかかります。
船はそれほど大きくないので、無理して窓側指定しなくても十分、外の景色が見えて、良い感じでした。うちは窓側が満席ですと言われて指定できなかったんですが、運良く窓側の席でした。
次また行くかと言われると、ヒルトンのレストランに行って、花火を見る方がいいかなと思っています。
1回行けば満足かなと思います。

Got a second email to do a review !! Lmao had a great time would totally do it again

The cruise was very nice. On time arrival. Great seating. Amazing bartender!! captain dave was a fun!! Really enjoyed the take home cups!!

It was so beautiful when the fireworks started on the water.We had a great time on boat.

I participated the day after arriving in Hawaii. There was some rocking, but it was enjoyable, and my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, was very happy. I would definitely like to participate again.

ハワイ到着の翌日に参加しました。揺れがありましたが、それもまた楽しく、ハワイが初めての母も大変喜んでいました。また、ぜひ参加してみたいです。

I participated in the morning whale watching tour. Perhaps due to the cloudy sky, the whales didn't show up. Since I was returning home that day, I couldn't use a rain check. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing to be done. However, as a birdwatching enthusiast, I was relieved to see the rendezvous flight of the white tern from the boat.

午前のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。曇り空のせいか、クジラさんは出てくれませんでした。その日に帰国するので、レインチェックも使えず。自然が相手なのでしかたないのですが、残念でした。バードウォッチングが趣味なので、船上からシロアジサシのランデブー飛翔が見られたのが救いでした。

My wife and I went for our anniversary and loved every minute of it. It's great to get out on the water in the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. The crew was very inviting and polite and friendly. The food was great and the drinks as well. Will be coming back to experience it again on Friday so we can see the fireworks as well!

Perfect way to end our holiday. We thoroughly recommend this activity when you visit Waikiki. Thanks for a memorable afternoon Dave and Phillipe.

The view of Waikiki from the sea was great. The sunset was perfect. There were more foreigners than Japanese people, and everyone was really lively. On the boat, we all felt like friends together.

良かった海から見るワイキキ。夕陽もバッチリ。日本人より外国の方の方が多く、とってもノリが良かったです。船の上では一体感で皆お友達でした。

Among the many optional sunset tours, we chose this catamaran to fully enjoy the sunset. During our previous dinner cruise on a passenger ship, we couldn't fully enjoy the sunset due to the meal and show, so this time we decided on this without hesitation.
On the boat we boarded, there were mostly foreigners, with only two Japanese people. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and while we mostly talked as a couple, a group of students engaged us in conversation, creating a very friendly atmosphere thanks to the effects of the drinks. We felt the sea breeze all over and thoroughly enjoyed the sunset.
I would love to take this tour again when I visit Oahu.

サンセットのオプショナルツアーは、たくさんある中、サンセットを満喫したいとこのカタマラン号を選びました。前回客船のディナークルーズでは、食事とショーでサンセットを満喫できなっかたので、今回は、迷わずこちらにしました。
私たちの乗った船は、外国人ばかりで、日本人は、二人だけ。お酒は飲み放題で、夫婦で話をするばかりでしたが、学生のグループが声をかけてくれたりとお酒の効果でとても和やかな雰囲気でした。海風を全身に感じ、サンセットもバッチリ満喫しました。
又、オアフに行ったら乗りたいと思います。

Unlike large ships, my daughter was thrilled by the occasional splashes of waves. There was a rainbow, and she was so captivated by the scenery that she even forgot to drink.

On the way to the meeting point, we walked along the coast from the Outrigger Reef area, but we got soaked along the way. I recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting wet when participating.

大きな船と違い、時々くる波しぶきに娘が大喜びしてました。虹がでていたり、周りの景色に夢中で飲むのも忘れてしまいました。
集合場所に行くまでに、アウトリガーリーフ方面から海沿いを歩いて行ったのですが、途中で早くもずぶ濡れになりました。参加するときは濡れてもいい格好がおすすめです。

Sailing with the wind after turning off the engine, and the beautiful sunset was magnificent. A cruise while drinking a chilled beer is the best.

エンジンを止めた後の風に乗ったセーリング、そして美しい夕焼けは見事なものでした。
冷えたビールを飲みながらのクルーズは最高です。

The sunset dinner cruise my wife and I took lived up to the hype. The food was excellent! The western coast of the Big Island was just beautiful at that time of day. We also got to see a pod of dolphins (I would say at least 20 jumping out of the water) along the way. Can't recommend this activity enough!!!

Loved the cruise. The food was good and service was on point. My girlfriend had an allergic reaction to something in food. We were blown away by the response the crew had and they took care of us. Overall we had a great time and plan to do it again in the future.

I participated at the recommendation of a friend who lived in Hawaii. From the moment we boarded, getting splashed by the waves was exciting. There was an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, Chardonnay, and beer. A cheerful and handsome guy served drinks and kept the atmosphere lively. It felt like a party with people of various nationalities enjoying the catamaran together. The beautiful sunset and ocean really elevated the mood. I highly recommend this for couples, families, or friends visiting Waikiki.

ハワイに住んでいた友達に勧められて参加。乗船から波に濡れてそれがまたワクワク。マイタイ、シャルドネ、ビール飲み放題。陽気でイケメンのお兄さんが飲み物をサーブして盛り上げる。色んなナショナリティの人たちがカタマランに乗ってひとときのパーティーを楽しんでる感じ。美しい夕日と海が気分を最高に盛り上げてくれる。カップルはもちろん家族でも友達同士でもワイキキに行くなら是非おすすめです。

Perfect night! Great cruise ship, the crew was wonderful and entertaining. Also, the food was delicious!

It took a little time before departure, but more importantly, once we boarded the boat, the staff made it fun and enjoyable. Inside the boat, we took off our shoes and went wherever we liked to enjoy the scenery and the breeze. Drinks and food were provided, and until the fireworks started, there was background music playing. The staff frequently checked on our drinks and brought them to us, and they also came around with desserts. The fireworks lasted about five minutes, but the view of the star-filled sky against the dark backdrop and the pleasant breeze were wonderful.

出発まで少し時間がかかりましたが、そんなことより
船に乗りスタッフさんが盛り上げてくれ楽しく過ごせましたよ
船内は、靴を脱ぎ入ると好きなとこに行って景色、風を楽しみました
ドリンクと食事が用意されていて花火が始まるまでBGM が流れスタッフさんが
よくドリンクを聞いて持ってきてくれたり 、デザートも持って回ってきてくれました
花火は5分ぐらいで終わりましたが、真っ暗な空から満点の星、風が良かったです

I went on the Friday Fireworks Sail in August 2016. I'd been on two sunset sails before and wanted to try something different. When we set off after sunset there was still enough light to see the coast clearly and everything looked a little magical in the twilight. As darkness fell the clouds were illuminated with a golden glow from the last rays of the Sun. The twinkling lights from Waikiki shone brightly as the cooling ocean breeze wafted gently across the boat. It was a serene experience. The climax of the trip is the fireworks display at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. It only lasts a few minutes but you get a perfect view from the catamaran.
