All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

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.

There are other sunset cruises, but I chose this simple tour focused on the sunset. The boarding was just a short distance from my hotel, the Sheraton, and about 35 people boarded. Before and after boarding, the cheerful staff provided explanations mixed with jokes, but I couldn't understand the content since I don't speak English, which was disappointing. I had heard that you need to bring your passport to be served alcohol, but even without it, there was an unlimited supply of Mai Tais. At first, I quietly sat in my seat, but as the boat moved along, the atmosphere became lively, and it felt like a very cheerful buffet party with everyone enjoying drinks. The sunset over the ocean was, of course, breathtaking, but unexpectedly, it started to rain lightly, and on the opposite side of the sunset, we were able to see a magnificent semicircular rainbow with multiple colors.

It was fun to feel the sense of unity as everyone on board was moved by the experience. The staff was incredibly cheerful, and I had a wonderful time. If I come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to join this cruise again.

サンセットクルーズは他にもありますが、サンセットに絞ってシンプルなこのツアーに参加しました。乗船は宿泊先のシェラトンからすぐで、３５人ほど乗り込みました。乗船前、乗船後に明るいスタッフがジョークをまじえた説明をしてくれましたが、英語がわかりませんので、内容がわからなかったのが残念。パスポートを持ってこないと、お酒は出せないようなことを聞いていたのですが、所持してなくてもマイタイ飲み放題でした。はじめはおとなしく席に座っていたのですが、船が進むにつれ、船上は盛り上がり、お酒も入ってとてもにぎやかな立食パーティのようでした。海の上からのサンセットはもちろん感動的ですばらしかったのですが、今回急に雨がぱらついて、夕日と反対がわに見事な半円の七色の虹を見ることができました。
船上でも、皆が感動しているのが一体感があって楽しかったです。スタッフはどこまでも明るく素敵な時間をすごせました。またハワイに来たら、ぜひ乗りたいです。

The crew members was really nice. We were running late and they waited for us. We saw an amazing sun set. Wish they had more variety on the alcohol.

It felt like it was normal to be significantly late for the meeting time, which didn't suit me as a Japanese person. The ship's captain and bartender had a good vibe and were nice.

集合時間を大幅に過ぎてもそれが当たり前のような感じだったので日本人の僕には合いませんでした。
船のキャプテンとバーテンダーはノリも良くいい感じでしたよ。

WOW!! What a beautiful evening. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good. The view AWESOME!! We would definitely do this cruise again.

We really enjoyed this sunset cruise. Great mix of people, there was plenty of room on the boat with perfect sunset views.
Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Oahu :)

Great views, plentiful tasty appetizers and drinks! knowledgeable crew that answers all your questions about anything 'Oahu' ! Our Sunday night sunset cruise had very few tourists so e could spread out, have the crew take pictures, lounge on the front nets, lots of drinks and great appetizers. We were looking for something unique to do with our parents (70+) on our last night of vacation and this was perfect. Leaves from beachside of Tropics restaurant in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, parking validated. Book now!

During pickup, the tour guide did not hold a sign, which caused confusion as I couldn't identify the vehicle. Another company's guide helped me, so I boarded just in time for departure. As usual, we took photos immediately upon arrival and were billed later. Despite being a buffet, the menu was unusually limited. It was difficult to order drinks. It was terrible.

ピックアップの時、ツアー担当者が看板を手に持たず、どの車かわからず困惑。他社のガイドさんが教えてくれたので、出発ぎりぎりに乗車。お決まりの到着すぐに写真撮影し後から請求。ブッフェなのに異常に少ないメニュー。飲み物をオーダーしにくい。ひどかった

I participated because I could enjoy the sunset while drinking. The boat was simpler than I imagined, so it was affected by the waves. My wife was a bit scared of the rocking. For those who are not comfortable with the sea, a dinner cruise might be a safer option. The experience itself was very enjoyable with unlimited drinks and great music, and I was able to take many beautiful photos. If you prefer being close to the sea, I definitely recommend it.

夕方のサンセットが飲みながら見れるとのことて参加。
想像しているより簡素な船の為、その分波の影響等も受けます。
夫婦で参加しましたが、波の揺れに若干嫁は怖がっていました。
海が苦手な方はディナークルーズ等の方が安心かと思います。
内容自体は飲み放題のドリンクと音楽が非常に楽しく、綺麗な写真もたくさん取れました。
海との距離が近い方が好きな方はぜひ。

This was my first time doing anything like this, and I have to say, it defied my expectations in a good way. I had prepared myself for something flashy—bordering on gaudy, even—but what I got was something casual and relaxing, yet still elegant. There were no forced performances or over-the-top dramatizations, just a well-prepared dinner, prompt service and outstanding views. In a word, the whole experience felt genuine. It didn't feel pre-packaged or manufactured. I highly recommend it, especially for a group.

What a wonderful evening!
The boat is very elegant and has three decks with excellent viewing areas. The large windows are a plus, no matter where you are seated you will get a great view of Waikiki. My favorite part was the lounge area on the second deck, after dinner we enjoyed some cocktails listening to great Hawaiian Jazz music. The transportation was punctual and the staff is very friendly. The dinner buffet is good and there are options for everyone.
I had a really nice time with my friends at the Majestic, I would definitely recommend it for everybody.

Having previously been on turtle and night cruise with same company we brought our two young ones back and enjoyed the Tradewinds cruise. The captain was fantastic with my youngest

No complaints here! Bar tenders will make your drinks stronger if you ask :) No shortage of delicious food and knowledgeable info from the crew. They even had the cutest dog on board!

Friendly staff, music, Mai Tai, and the night view of Waikiki from the ocean. The slow cruise means no worries about seasickness. The atmosphere was lively, and a foreigner sitting next to me asked where I was from, which led to fun conversations with various people. When it got a bit chilly, I ordered a Mai Tai with no ice for a refill. Just before we arrived, some people were dancing to the latest music as the drinks kicked in! Families, couples, and groups of friends were all enjoying the night view in their own ways.

フレンドリーなスタッフと音楽とマイタイと沖から見るワイキキの夜景。ゆっくりな航海なので船酔いも心配なし。気分も盛り上がり隣に座っていた外国人からどこから来たの？と声をかけられ、それがきっかけで色々な方と楽しいトーク。少し寒くなってきたらマイタイはノーアイスでお代わり。到着間際は酔いも回り最新音楽に合わせてダンスする方も！
ご家族、カップル、友達グループ、色々な方が思い思いの夜景を楽しんでいました。

My family and I enjoyed it so much we can't wait to do it again!

Excellent crew. Fun adventure. Definitely recommend

On the way to our destination, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They swam together as if leading the boat, and the captain kindly slowed down. We took turns standing at the bow, and the photos turned out great! My daughter was thrilled by the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast. On the way back, they stayed out until the sunset, going over the scheduled time as a special treat. The staff was amazing too!

目的地に向かう途中で、イルカの群れに遭遇。
まるで船を先導するように集団で泳いでおり、キャプテンが気を利かせてスローダウン。
交替で船首に立ち、写真もバッチリ！
ナパリコーストの大迫力に、娘も大満足。
帰りは夕日が落ちるまで粘ってくれ、予定時間をオーバーしての大サービス。
スタッフも最高でした！

This was awesome! The boat is beautiful and the scenery even better! Food was a nice buffet and there was plenty to go around. The crew is the best and take care of you all evening! A must do on Friday nights!

Had an awesome time, food was good, entertainment was good....would do it again in a heartbeat! I would recommend this cruise to everyone whose going to be in honolulu.

My family had a great time! Crew was amazing, boat wasn't crowded and the views were beautiful. Almost booked a second cruise on our trip.

It was me and my husbands anniversary and head a great time on the dinner cruise. The all you can eat crab was great :)

The cruise started right on time. The cheerful captain got everyone excited for the start, and we toasted with Mai Tais☆ As lively music played, the entire view of Waikiki Beach unfolded before us. We could also see the scenery beyond Diamond Head, and the sunset was beautiful. There were few Japanese tourists, creating a great international travel atmosphere! I enjoyed three Mai Tais plus a beer!

時間ぴったりにクルーズスタート。陽気なキャプテンがスタートを盛り上げ、マイタイをみんなで乾杯☆陽気な音楽が流れる中ワイキキビーチの全体像が広がって行きます。ダイアモンドヘッドの向こう側の景色も見れて、夕焼けもキレイに見れました。日本人は少なく海外旅行の雰囲気満点です！マイタイ3杯プラスビールをいただきました！

This cruise was great. The food was good, the entertainment outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu. I also liked walking around outside and seeing the island from the sea. It's a little pricey, but worth it.

I wanted to see the fireworks beautifully on Friday, so I decided to go on a cruise. It was just my 9-year-old daughter, my 68-year-old mother, and me, who can't speak English, but we were able to enjoy it enough and were very moved by the beautiful fireworks seen from the sea! The meeting place was hard to find, and even when it was time to depart, we didn't leave right away, which made me a bit anxious, but I'm glad we participated! My daughter also said she had a great time.

金曜日の花火をきれいに見たかったので、クルーズすることにしました。英語の話せない私と9歳の娘と68歳の母の3人での参加でしたが、十分楽しむことができ、海側から見るきれいな花火にとても感動しました！集合場所がわかりにくく、出航時間がきてもなかなか出ないので、不安なことはありましたが、参加してよかったです！娘も楽しかったと喜んでいました。

We had heaps of fun. There was a great group on the trip. The crew were relaxed and accommodating setting the mood for the afternoon. Would recommend this activity to anyone visiting Waikiki

Nice boat and sail. City lights and sunset beautiful. Got to see fireworks. Dinner Buffet very average. Best thing was the cookie for dessert. Some live entertainment would be nice.

Great fun, short cruise but a good view of the fireworks. Fair bit of seating on the vessel, bar on board with basic drinks for cash. Board from the beach, beautiful evening activity for August.

It was a great cruise where we could see fireworks, and the breeze was very pleasant! The staff was also very kind! I want to go again!

花火も見れて、風も気持ちよくて、とてもいいクルーズでした！スタッフの人もとても親切でした！また行きたいと思います！

It was great cruise but too many people for server so it took a very long time to get drinks.. We were in second course before we got drinks

Nothing special, lots of people on the catamaran, the crew where great, unfortunately the food let the experience down, it was mediocre at best.....alcohol was served in plastic cups, that I understand but not a great deal of variety, hubbie said the signature cocktail was ok, captain was great at getting the position right for the fireworks, probably wouldn't do the cruise agin
