All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I participated with a female friend.
The blue sea and blue sky were beautiful.
It felt great to be bathed in the sea breeze.
Seeing the city of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the ocean was also wonderful.
My friend was happy as well.

友人も喜んでいました

As the reviews mentioned, it was difficult to find the reception area. While I was looking for a blue beach umbrella, it turned out to be a brown palm umbrella. Once I got out to the sea, the waves were bigger than I expected, making it fun like surfing. You get quite wet, so it's a good idea to bring a towel or something. I heard that if you're lucky, you can see dolphins and sea turtles; unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins, but I did see a swimming sea turtle. The cocktail made with dark rum and peach juice was a generous portion; the first one was $8, and refills were $3, if I remember correctly. It was very easy to drink and delicious!

クチコミ通り、受付の場所は見つけにくかったです。
青いビーチパラソルを探してたら、今は茶色いシュロのパラソルでした。
沖へ出ると、思ってた以上に波が大きくて波乗りしてるみたいで楽しいです。
盛大に濡れますのでタオルなど持っていった方がいいですね。
運が良ければイルカやウミガメが見れるとの事で、残念ながらイルカには会えなかったのですが、泳いでいるウミガメは見れました。
ダークラムをピーチジュースで割ったカクテルはたっぷりの量で最初の１杯は８ドル、おかわりは３ドルって言ってたと思います。とても飲みやすくて美味しかった！

This was our second time on the cruise and we loved it more this time. The staff are very nice and helpful. Thanks for a great time.

We booked this cruise in particular because it was wheelchair accessible. We were traveling with a friend who is in a wheelchair and we wanted to be able to get her out on the ocean. The crew was fantastic! The ramp was easy and we sat in the front of the boat.
On this cruise to Ke'alakekua, not only was there a wonderful bartender, but also a fabulous array of appetizers and a yummy dinner. AND there was a historian, named Boyd, who was able to tell us the history of the areas we were cruising by. Kudos to Boyd! IN ADDITION to all of this, we were suprised to find out the crew had fishing lines out and caught three large fish! Very exciting for us and also the crew.
This is just a great company with a great crew wo do hospitality right. Loved it all!

I'm not big on touristy activities, but I was thoroughly surprised at how fun this sunset cruise was. My 2 daughters (8 and 5) both had a blast. Being out in the open waters does wonders... next time I'm in Hawaii, I know what we're doing again.

This is the best experience on the catamaran. We enjoyed a lot. This is more than worth the price we paid for. The drinks were awesome and all together a great experience event.

Was a nice time. The mixed drink that was served had too much sugar. I think it is best to stick with wine or beers, or at least have a drink that is more rich with booze and not so sweet.

This is my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I've always wanted to ride on this catamaran but couldn't participate because it was fully booked. I finally got to join this time.

The high demand is likely due to the cost and the fact that it's a two-and-a-half-hour tour, making it accessible even for those not staying for a long period.

Even if you don't understand English at all, you can kind of figure things out! For example, you learn not to sit in the blue areas, to sit on the net when departing, and how to order drinks... I understood most of it.

I'm just mimicking what the foreigners do, but anyway, it's a lot of fun. It really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii! The captain, who looked like a pirate, and the crew were quite friendly and cool. My wife also got to take a picture with them.

ハワイ旅行は、5回目なのですが、今までこのカタマランに乗りたくて申込してきましたが、満員で参加できていませんでした。ようやく参加できました。
参加希望の多さは、コスト的なこともそうですが、約2時間半のツアーであることもその理由かと思います。長期間の滞在でなくとも参加できます。
英語が全く分からなくとも、なんとなく解かってしまいますね！青色の場所には座らないでとか、出航の時には網の上に座ってくれとか、飲み物の注文は、・・・・大体わかりました。
外人の見よう見まねなのですが・・・
とにかく楽しめます。ハワイに来たのだと自分に確認させることができますよ！
海賊みたいな図体の艇長さんと乗組員は、結構親切で恰好よかったです。わが女房も一緒に写真に撮ってもらいました。

The instructions and directions to the location where we could park was not specific for those of us who had never been in the area before (we paid $26 to park). Our emailed confirmation told us to check in at 6:45pm and the catamaran would set sail at 7pm. Our group was first to arrive with plenty of time for checking in. Our catamaran did not arrive to pick us up until 7:15pm and it took another 10 minutes after that to get us all checked in to board. Once onboard, we realized the mai tais were weak so we drank beer instead. This was a very slow-paced cruise. We would like to come back but are more likely to experience a different catamaran cruise than this one.

I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.

If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.

On the last day of our Golden Week trip, which was a Friday, we decided to participate in this highly rated activity of watching fireworks from a boat. After two hours, witnessing the ten-minute fireworks display was indeed a wonderful experience! However, while the food was tasty, I became anxious about whether I could eat much due to the boat's rocking for two hours (worried about seasickness). In the end, no one in my family could use the free drink tickets (two drinks each), and we barely managed to sip the first drink served.

Moreover, it was extremely cold. To protect my grandmother from the cold, we huddled together on the deck. Thankfully, we managed to avoid catching a cold until today, so it remains a good memory. The staff were cheerful and attentive to us, but considering all of this, I have to rate it accordingly.

Make sure to dress warmly if you go. I also recommend taking motion sickness medication before participating. Additionally, since the restroom is located at the bottom of the boat, I think it's best to avoid going to the restroom while on board to prevent seasickness. The sunset, the bright moon, and the view of Diamond Head illuminated by it were all wonderful, but I think one hour would have been sufficient.

GW旅行の最終日、金曜日だった為、花火を船上で見上げるのも一興かもね、と、皆さんの評価も高かった本アクティビティに参加しました。
2時間の末に見上げた10分の花火の饗宴を見上げたのはやはり素晴らしい経験でした！
が、食事は味はいいのですが、やはり食べると、2時間もつか（船酔いしてしまうのでは？）と不安になるくらい揺れるため、あまり食べることができず。
飲み物のフリーチケット（各２杯）は、結局家族のだれも使えず、最初のサービスの一杯に口をつけるのが精いっぱいでした。
そして、何より、超・寒かった。
祖母を寒さから守るため、身を寄せ合って甲板に座り、、結局今日まで風邪をひかないで済んだので、良い思い出ではありますが。
スタッフの皆さんは陽気で楽しく、我々にも大変気を使ってくださったのですが、、、そんなこんなで評価の星数です。
しっかり暖かい恰好をしていってください。
さらに、酔い止めは、しっかり飲んで参加をお勧めします。
また、船のトイレは船底にあるため、船上でトイレに行くのも、酔うのを避けるには、やめたほうがよいかと思います。
サンセットも、月が明るくなる様子もそれに照らし出されるダイヤモンドヘッドも素晴らしかったけど、１時間でいいです。。

On the last day, I made a reservation for the shuttle bus to the airport, which was supposed to pick me up at 3:00 PM, right on the day of my return.

The voucher indicated a departure at 10:30, so I arrived 15 minutes early, but it seems the daily departure is at 11:00. I was told to come back at 10:45, and in the end, the departure was at 11:15, so I had to wait quite a bit.

Still, the hour and a half boat trip was very pleasant, and it was a meaningful time to say goodbye to Hawaii on my last day.

Various yachts were sailing around, but this one took us further out and was faster, which made it a lot of fun.

Afterward, I washed my hands and feet at the water station by the hotel pool and quickly changed in the restroom on the first floor of the hotel.

Since I felt a bit sticky from the seawater, I recommend preparing a change of clothes in a small eco bag for the day of your return.

最終日。空港までのシャトルバスが15時に迎えに来るという、まさに帰国する日に予約をしました。

バウチャー券に10:30出航とあり15分前に行きましたが、毎日11:00出航のようで10:45に来てと言われ、結局11:15の出航で、だいぶ待ちぼうけをしました。

それでも1時間半の船旅は、とても気持ちが良く☆、ハワイにお別れをする最終日にとても相応しい☆、有意義な時間を過ごせました☆☆☆

色々なヨットが周りを走っていましたが、こちらのほうがより遠くへ行ってくれて、スピードもあって、とても楽しかったです♪

終わったあとは宿泊ホテルのプールに設置されている水道で手足を洗い、ホテル1階にあるトイレでささっと着替えをしました。

やっぱり海水で少しだけベタついたので、帰国日の際は、着替えをエコバックなどに小さく用意しておくことをおすすめします。

It may have been a coincidence, but there were no other Japanese people besides us among the staff and passengers. It was mostly young Americans, which was very nice. The catamaran was also wonderful.

たまたまかもしれないが、受付も乗客も我々以外に日本人はいなかった。　ヤングアメリカンばかりで、大変良かった。
カタマランも素晴らしい。

It's a boat that feels like a fish without substance, but it allows you to feel close to the sea, which is great. It's a fun experience that you don't get with larger boats.

身のない魚のような船ですが、
海を身近に感じれてイーです。
大きな船にはない楽しさですね。

Great evening and entertainment. Sat by door which despite staffs attempts to block off, was continually opened by customers causing a lot of wind while we ate.

It was simply amazing. This was the best part of the tour. The wind was quite strong and the waves were high, so we ended up soaking wet as if we had taken a shower, but that made it even more fun. My husband and I are already talking about participating again the next time we go to Hawaii. Despite the huge waves, I didn't feel seasick at all, which was incredibly enjoyable. The tour lasted about two hours and was reasonably priced, so I signed up with a casual mindset, but it turned out to be a great decision. On the way back to Waikiki Beach, we encountered sea turtles twice, which really boosted our excitement. When the staff threw out some food, a lot of fish came over, and that was great too. I highly recommend it.

とにかく面白いの一言です。
今回のツアーの中では最高でした。
風が結構あって波も高かったのでまるでシャワーをあびたようにびしょぬれ状態でしたが、そこがまた楽しくて今度ハワイに行った時も絶対に参加しようと主人と話しています。
あんなにすごい波なのに船に酔うという事が楽しすぎて全くありません。
時間も２時間位だしお値段も安いのでついでの様な気持ちで申し込んだツアーでしたが、大正解でした。
ワイキキの浜へ戻る時にウミガメと2回遭遇してまたテンションが上がりました。
スタッフの方が餌をまいたら沢山お魚が寄ってきてそれも良かったですよ。
かなりお勧めです。

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

The sunset viewed from the catamaran was amazing. The wind is strong over the sea, and it gets quite cool in the evening, so don't forget to bring a light jacket!

カタマランから眺めるサンセットは最高でした。
海の上は風が強く夕方は結構涼しいので羽織るのもを忘れずに！

The luxurious dinner on the large ship was like a show, so I decided to book a different route. It was very good. The captain was a typical American, but he spoke fluent Japanese and kept cracking jokes. We enjoyed the sunset while moving around the deck. We got close to the fireworks on the yacht, and they were spectacular. I highly recommend it to many people.

大きな船での豪華ディナーはショーなので、別の路線に行きたく申し込ませていただきました。
大変良かったです。キャプテンがこてこてのアメリカ人なのですが、日本語ペラペラの冗談続き。
デッキ中、あっちに行ったりこっちに行ったりしながら夕日を堪能させていただきました。花火もヨットなのですぐ近くまで行って、迫力満点で見せていただきました。多くの人に、推薦します。

We saved the best for last , attended the night before we flew home . Everybody said it was the best time they had in the 2 weeks we spent on the big island. We loved it!!!!

We will set sail around 4:00 PM and return before 6:00 PM. One of the great points is being able to see Waikiki from a perspective that you can't from the ground. Additionally, you can view Diamond Head from an angle that is usually not visible, which was also nice. We'll return just in time for sunset, so you'll get to see a really beautiful sunset. Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I think it's great for those who can handle their alcohol and don't get seasick!

16：00ころ出航して、18:00前くらいに戻ってきます。
地上からは見ることの出来ないワイキキの姿を見れるのがグッドポイントです。またダイアモンドヘッドも普段は見れない角度から見れてこれも良かった。
戻ってくる頃にちょうどサンセットの時間帯ですごくきれいな夕日が見れます。
お酒が飲み放題なので、お酒が強くて、船酔いしない人にとっては良いと思います！

I had heard that it was hard to get seasick, but when we went out into the open ocean, it was anything but fireworks. The foreigners around me were also terribly seasick. I'm done with this.

あまり酔いにくいと聞いていたのですが、外洋に出たときには花火どころではありませんでした。周りの外国人もひどく酔っていました。こりごりです。

We participated as a family of four. Since I have experienced dinner cruises on large ships twice before, this time we chose the catamaran. The ship was almost full, but we were the only Japanese guests. There were many foreign couples, and the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was very popular. I had three myself.

It does sway quite a bit (sometimes the captain intentionally makes it rock), so it's not suitable for families with small children, but you can stand on the deck, and I think it's perfect for adult groups. Also, since we stayed at the Sheraton, it's very convenient for those staying at nearby hotels. I definitely want to participate again next time.

家族４名で参加しました。
大型船でのディナークルーズは、これまで２回経験しているので、今回はカタマラン号にしました。
船内は、ほぼ満席でしたが、日本人は我々だけ。外国人は、カップルも多く、飲み放題でマイタイが大人気。私も３杯いただきました。
さすがに揺れるので（船長がわざと揺らす場合もあります）、小さい子供づれには不向きですが、甲板にも立てますし、大人のグループには最適だと思います。また、宿泊がシェラトンだったのっで、近くのホテルに宿泊の方はとても便利です。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。

Everyone except for us, a couple, was from an English-speaking country.
At the beginning, the pace was slow and the atmosphere was relaxed, but from the middle, the speed picked up, and we were squealing with excitement at the splashes of water.
The background music also got louder, and everyone's spirits lifted.
Although it was far away, I was moved to see a whale.
Out in the distance, the crew members were feeding fish.
There were mostly black fish, but many gathered around.
As for attire, some people were in swimsuits, while others wore T-shirts and shorts.
It's reasonably priced, and I think it's worth participating.
It was truly refreshing.

私たち夫婦以外は皆さん英語圏の方でした。
序盤は緩やかなスピードでのんびりした雰囲気でしたが、
中盤から、スピードが速くなり、水しぶきにキャーキャー。
ＢＧＭも大音量になって、皆のテンションも上がります。
遠くでしたが、クジラを見れて感動しました。
沖の方で、船員さんが魚にエサをあげます。
黒い魚ばかりでしたがたくさん集まってきました。
服装は、水着の人もいれば、Ｔシャツに短パンの人もいました。
手頃な値段だし、参加してみてもいいと思います。
まさに爽快です。

The weather wasn't very good, but seeing the whales made for an amazing memory. I would like to participate again next time.

天気は、あまり良くなかったですが、クジラも見れて最高の思い出になりました。
次回も、参加したいと思います。

There are various menus available, and even during the bright red sunset from land, sea, and sky, the sunset from the sea evokes an exhilarating reaction regardless of age. The pricing, crew, number of tour participants, and of course, the handsome captain provided truly delightful service tailored for singles, couples, and families. About one-third of the tour participants were Japanese, but after departure, everyone formed a group. The hosts were wonderful, and coincidentally, we were on the same boat as the currently popular couple, Yuya Uchida and Kiki Kuroki, which added to the sense of quality. I would love to ride the same catamaran with the same crew next time.

色々なメニューが有ります、陸海空からの真っ赤なサンセット中でも海からのサンセットは年齢に関わらず感激の奇声を発してしまいます、価格、クルー、ツアーの人数、キャプテンは無論イケメンコンビは、シングル、カップル、ファミリーへの肌理細やかなサービスには誠に楽しいものでした、ツアーの日本人は三分の一位でしたが，出航後は全員がグループ化していました素晴らしいホストでもありました、又当日は偶然にも今話題の内田裕也、樹希樹林夫妻と同船で、グレード感も感じました、次回も同じクルーのカタマラン号に乗りたいたいと思います。

I participated on the last night of my honeymoon. The fireworks viewed from the sea were very beautiful. I think it will be a great memory. The tour is in English, but there are crew members who can speak Japanese, which is reassuring.

新婚旅行の最後の夜に参加しました。
海からの見る花火はとても綺麗でした。
いい記念になると思います。
ツアーは英語となってますが、日本語が話せるクルーもいて安心です。

The sunset viewed from Waikiki Beach is beautiful, but the sunset seen from the ocean is exceptional. Be sure to enjoy the sunset cruise on a catamaran among the guests from the mainland. I think you'll create memories that are different from before.

ワイキキビーチから見るサンセットも素敵ですが、洋上から眺めるサンセットは格別。本土からの客に交じって是非カタマランからのサンセットクルーズを楽しんでください。これまでと違った思い出が残ると思います。

We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp

We participated as a couple on the recommendation of our son and his wife, who joined us two days ago. Although I couldn't catch the English explanations very well, we had a great time following these points that I heard from them:

- Sit inside the red line on the net during departure and arrival.
- Once we are out at sea, try to avoid going on the net as much as possible.
- Do not touch the ropes.
- The first drink is recommended to be the original cocktail, but there is also unlimited beer, champagne, and wine available.

2日前に参加した息子夫婦から勧められ、夫婦で参加しました。説明の英語はうまく聞き取れませんでしたが、息子夫婦から伝え聞いた以下の点を守って、大いに楽しみました。

出港時と帰港時は、ネットの上、赤線の内側に座ること、
沖に出たらネットの上にはできるだけ行かないこと、
ロープ類には触らないこと、
最初の一杯はオリジナルカクテルをお勧めするが、他にビールもシャンパンもワインも飲み放題なこと。
