All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Three months ago, I saw a catamaran departing from in front of Halekulani and thought I definitely want to ride it next time. After three months back in Hawaii, I made an early reservation with eight friends joining me. Since Japanese-issued credit cards are not accepted on the website, I booked through Veltra. I printed the voucher and will hand it over at the reception.

The sunset cruise gathers at 5:00 PM, but it's dangerous to cross from the Halekulani side due to high tide. Please make sure to go around from the Sheraton side. I've taken motion sickness medication and I'm fully prepared! I also brought a waterproof cover for my smartphone. Unlike a yacht, this boat is stable and won't rock, so even those prone to seasickness will be fine.

Cutting through the refreshing wind is the best! Everyone is feeling cheerful with drinks, singing, and surrounded by joyful laughter as we enjoy the beautiful sunset from the boat. I can't wait to participate again!

3ヶ月前に、ハレクラニの前から出航する双胴船を見て、次回は絶対乗ってみたいと思っていました。
３ヶ月ぶりのハワイ、友人8名の参加予定で早めに予約を入れました。
HPからですと、日本発行のクレジットカードは受け付けていないので、veltraで予約しました。
バウチャーは印刷して、受付に渡します。
サンセットクルーズ5:00集合ですが、ハレクラニ側からですと満ち潮で危なくて渡れません。必ず、シェラトン側から回ってください。
酔い止めは飲んで準備万端です！スマホの防水カバーも用意しました。
ヨットと違い、安定していて揺れませんので船酔いする人も大丈夫です。
爽快に風を切り、最高です！
皆んな、お酒も効いてきて陽気に歌ったり、楽しそうな笑い声に包まれ美しいサンセットを船上から、また参加するしかないでしょう‼︎

We had a wonderful time. The captain steered around a storm and we were able to have a great trip. The food was delicious, the whole crew was great. Thanks for the awesome time.

The day was overcast all day long, and even after the ship set sail, the sun didn't show its face... Amidst this, two handsome crew members entertained the passengers, including a very friendly and cheerful Carlos, who engaged everyone in conversation, took photos, and showcased steering performances. Even if we couldn't see the sunset, I was already satisfied~~... Just when I thought that, the sunset appeared! It was dramatic, and cheers erupted. Arriving at the beach amidst the beautiful sunset and the cheerful atmosphere with everyone was truly moving. My husband and his 67-year-old sister were really happy with this unique experience. I'm so glad I gifted it to them~

この日は一日中曇天で、船が出港してからも太陽は顔を出さず・・・
その中を2人のハンサムクルーが、乗客を巻き込みながら楽しませてくれました。乗船客のカルロスさんのめちゃめちゃフレンドリーで、陽気なおしゃべりを盛り立てて、写真を撮ったり操舵のパフォーマンスを見せてくれていました。もう、このままサンセットが見れなくても、満足～～～
・・・っと、思ったところにサンセット登場！！劇的で歓声が上がりました。
皆さんとの和気あいあいとした雰囲気の中、サンセットの美しさの感動の中浜に到着でした。
夫と、夫の姉67歳は日頃にない体験に、本当に喜んでくれました。プレゼントしてよかった～

We had a wonderful time on the dinner cruise. The food was great, water was very calm. It was also a very beautiful sunset on the cruise. The staff was great. They took care of every need. Will definitely do this again. The only issue we had was finding the right boat dock.

This was my third time in Hawaii, and my first cruise! Before we set sail, we encountered big waves and got completely soaked (~_~;). However, there’s no cruise as fun as this one! The breeze on the yacht was pleasant, the sunset was beautiful, and we even saw a rainbow. I will definitely join again next time! (^o^)/

ハワイ3回目で初めてののクルーズ❗️出航前に大波に会いずぶ濡れ(~_~;)しかし、こんな楽しいクルーズは、無いな〜〜‼️ヨットの、風が心地良く夕日はも素敵だったしレインボーも見れて、絶対に又次回参加しまーす(^o^)/

Group of people 69-86 years went out to do this and because a handful felt waters was not calm elected not to do this. I was notwith them but had done it in the past and found it to be enjoyable

This is a very nice cruise for the package you choose and the staff very friendly. My group of 21 had nothing but praise for the Crableg and steak package we chose. Water was calm and the cruise directors made you feel part of the activity by having everyone get involved.

Had a good experience at veltra cruise dinner on 2016 may 26.

The only thing that I would suggest is a variety of different music playing while on the cruise (more up to date selections). Other than that, it is a good time.

We had a fantastic time! I would do this again too. The staff was very professional and made us feel safe and very welcomed.

When we set sail, it was covered in thick clouds, and I thought we wouldn't be able to see the sunset, but just as the sun was setting, the clouds parted, and we were treated to a beautiful sunset that drew cheers from everyone! The view of Diamond Head from the sea was different from what you see from Waikiki Beach, and it was wonderful. We spent a full hour and a half on the water, so if you're worried about the cold, it's a good idea to bring a beach towel or something to wear. You can store your belongings in the back of the chairs. There was also a proper explanation of the restroom facilities, and I saw women using them. This time, the sun was setting behind the mountains, so next time, I want to see the sunset over the ocean!

出航したときは厚い雲で覆われていてサンセットは無理かと思っていたら、太陽が沈むところだけ雲が切れて綺麗なサンセットが見れて歓声があがっていました！海から見渡すダイヤモンドヘッドはワイキキビーチから見るのとはまた違う景色でよかったです。たっぷり１時間半は海の上なので、寒さが心配な方は、ビーチタオルや羽織るものを持っていったほうが良いです。イスの背の中に荷物をしまうことができます。ちゃんとトイレの説明もあり、実際に使用している女性もいました。今回は山に日が沈む時期だったので、次回は海に沈む夕日を見たいです！

Cruising on the deep blue sea with vibrant orange and yellow sails. Enjoying delicious cocktails and juices with the navy blue sea, white waves, and a pleasant breeze. The sway of the yacht was interesting and fun... I even got to see dolphins jumping... This cruise allowed me to feel the sea, waves, wind, and comfort much more than the previous large ship dinner cruise.

鮮やかなオレンジ色と黄色の帆を上げて濃紺の海をクルージング。紺色の海と白い波と心地よい風に美味しいカクテルとジュース。ヨットの揺れが面白くて楽しくて・・・。
イルカのジャンプも見られたし・・・。前回の大型船ディナークルーズより海も波も風も気持ちよさも肌で感じることができたクルージングでした。

The second sunset cruise on the Mai Tai Catamaran with the sunset illuminating Diamond Head is amazing. I want to take this cruise as many times as I can because it feels so good.

２回目のマイタイ・カタマラン号のサンセット夕日に染まるダイアモンドヘッドが最高です何度でもこのクルーズは気持ちいいから乗りたいです。

We had a great time on the sunset cruise! The kids really enjoyed sitting near the frontbofvthe boat getting splashed while we relaxed and enjoyed the view. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins as well! Would definitely recommend!

We ended our trip in Maui with the sunset dinner cruise. It was perfect because it was a very relaxing night. Before we got on the boat, it was a little unclear what we needed to do with our Veltra vouchers, the man working there sent us on the line with out getting our real tickets needed so we were sent off the line to go back and get those. Not a huge deal, but maybe more of a clear direction when people get there could avoid that. The drinks were yummy and the food was pretty good. I tasted my boyfriend's steak and liked it better than my Mahi Mahi, so I would say go for the steak instead ! A tasty cheesecake was served for dessert as well! We got hit by one huge wave at the end which was kind of scary because the boat tipped a lot, otherwise it was smoothe sailing over all and a beautiful experience.

I signed up for the tour starting at 5:30. It was incredibly pleasant, and seeing Diamond Head from the ocean side was something I wouldn't have experienced without participating in the tour. It was a moving and dream-like time. If you're going to Hawaii, you absolutely should join this tour. I will definitely participate again next time!

5時半からのツアーに申し込みました。
凄く気持ち良くて、ダイアモンドヘッドを海側から見れることなんて、ツアーに参加しなければ、
なかったです。
感動と夢のような時間でした。
ハワイに行くなら絶対参加するべきです。
私もまた次回も必ず参加します！

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, so we didn't get to see the sunset. We made a reservation, but I think it would be fine to sign up on-site at the last minute after checking the weather.

残念ながら当日は曇り空で夕日に染まりませんでした。予約して行きましたがお天気を見て直前に現地で申し込んでもいいかと思います。

My daughter and I had a great time on the Friday night sunset cruise! Such a wonderful way to begin our time on Oahu! More than enough drinks and the music added to the fun!

Would highly recommend this trip, was my first night in Hawaii and what a way to start!! Cocktails are absolutely delicious and never ending!! The crew are just freaking awesome and everybody is there for a good time so it's just smiles and happy people all round! Would definitely do this again if I come back... Beautiful sunset while with my beautiful girl meeting awesome people! Thank you

The catamaran was so much fun! You linger in the Waikiki harbor and wait for the sun to go down. Norhing like a sunset with Diamondhead in the distance. The cocktails were very good and the crew funny .... all in all, it was a wonderful hour and a half on the ocean

Very unforgettable experience. The food is Good, server is nice.

I used it on the day I arrived. The weather was great, it was the best! I was a bit worried about the strong winds causing some rocking, but there were no problems at all, and it was a refreshing cruise. The Mai Tai was almost like juice, but it was delicious! I had a fun time taking pictures with the newlyweds sitting next to us. Being able to board right from the beach also saved time on transportation, which I really appreciated! I definitely want to participate again next time.

着いた日に利用しました。
お天気もよく、最高でした❗
ちょっと風が強かったので、揺れが心配でしたが、まったく問題なく、爽快なクルーズでした。
マイタイはほぼジュースでしたが、美味しかったです❗
隣り合わせた新婚さんのお二人と写真をとりあったりして、楽しい一時でした。
ビーチからすぐ乗れるのも、移動にかかる時間を節約でき、ありがたいです！次回もぜひ参加したいです。

Cruising under the sun and feeling the pleasant breeze was truly enjoyable. It was a rare experience to see Diamond Head from the ocean side. I think this tour is perfect for those who want to enjoy a casual cruise rather than a fancy dinner show, especially for those who love drinks. Being able to see the wonderful scenery for an hour and a half with unlimited drinks is a great value! However, the background music was quite loud, leaning towards rock (or maybe pop), which was a bit overwhelming. Since it's a tour aimed at tourists, I wish they would play Hawaiian music to enhance the atmosphere.

太陽の陽を浴びて、心地よい風に吹かれながらのクルーズ、本当に気持ち良かった
ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から見られる貴重な体験でした
大層なディナーショーではなくカジュアルにクルーズを楽しみたい方、お酒が好きな方にはピッタリのツアーだと思います
素晴らしい風景を１時間半も見られ、飲み放題はコストパフォーマンス高いと思います！
スタッフの好みなのか、ＢＧＭがロック（というかポップというか）がガンガンだったので少々うるさく、
観光客向けのツアーなのだから、折角ならハワイアンを流して雰囲気出して欲しいです～

We found this Cruise to be entertaining and relaxing. The music was great. The food and drink were very good and plentiful. The hosts were very gracious and we met many nice guests that we enjoyed sharing information of our adventures. We would recommend this to anyone!

This was a great evening, weather was good and entertainment was awesome!

You will have your own privacy during the tour. The Captain and Bartendie was nice. I like their signature cocktail. STRONG!!!

What a great night. From start to finish. Would recommend this cruise to everyone

I went again. The captain is as wonderful as ever! It's a really pleasant cruise with a comfortable breeze. There are hardly any Japanese people here. I'm fully enjoying the feeling of being in America.

また行っちゃいました。キャプテンも相変わらず素敵！
心地良い風で本当に気持ちの良いクルーズです。日本人はほとんどいません。
アメリカにいるって感じ満喫ですよ。

First time on this cruise and it was awesome. The crew members were friendly and they made it a point to reach out to everyone. The drinks were fantastic and the view was spectacular. Would definitely recommend it.

The sailing was pretty, the views were gorgeous during sunset, and the boat was nice enough. The crew was great. But I don't think it was worth the almost $200 we paid to go as a couple. The drinks were fairly weak, and of course they talk you into buying the $8 souvenir cup under the pretense that you'll get a bigger drink for the same price as the small cups... but they just use more mixer and ice and the same amount of liquor. We expected that and weren't expecting much of the food either since most touristy things like this aren't the best in either department. I'm mostly bummed out that this was advertised as a lantern ceremony sail which is the only reason we booked it. We've wanted to see the ceremony for the past 4 years but didn't want to deal with the huge crowds on shore. I understand that with the surf, you can't get too close, but we hadn't realized just how far away we'd be. It was just distance lights far away against the shore that blended in with he city lights and traffic. I had my extreme zoom telephoto lens and even I could barely tell when the lanterns hit the water. People opted to pull up the live streaming of the ceremony on their phones, which honestly was kind of a cool mixture to be out there live on the water and get a closer view digitally, but not worth $200 for the experience. Overall kind of disappointed, but still a cool way to see a different view of the island. Just not the lantern experience we had expected.
