All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.

I participated alone. It was more fun than I expected. I really felt like I was in Hawaii!

Once on board, the crew started talking about safety instructions. I couldn't understand anything they were saying... ^_^;

After a while, they served everyone cocktails in cups, and the crew came around multiple times for refills.

I also went to the restroom. No one seemed to have used it, so it was very clean that day. However, it was quite narrow! Since you have to use a vertical ladder, it might be difficult for those with mobility issues...

Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely ride this catamaran again! Wait for me! (laughs) THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

一人で参加しました。
思っていた以上に、楽しかったです。
ハワイに来たんだーーー♪と実感してきました。

乗船すると、クルーの人が注意事項等を話し出します。
何を言っているかさっぱりわかりませんでした・・・^_^;

そして、しばらくすると、カップに入ったカクテルを全員に振る舞ってくれて、お代わりは、わざわざクルーの人が何度も、回ってきてくれました。

トイレも行って来ました。だれも、使用していなかったのか、その日は、とてもキレイでした。
ただ、とても狭い！　はしご階段（垂直）を使うので、足の悪い方は、大変かも・・・。

次回ハワイに来たら、またこのカタマランに乗りに行きます！待っててね！（笑）
　　　　　THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

Christine was super cool at the check-in, she was so joyful and fired-up, loved this cruise! On-board crew was amazing and the drinks kept coming and coming. What a night - hahahaha! Yeah, WHAT A NIGHT! If you are in Waikiki you will WANT to take a sail out ... I went on a few and this one - by far - had the biggest drink cups!

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

My friend decided to do this cruise and so we went along. We all had an incredible time! While we were sailing out in the deep blue ocean enjoying our tasty drinks and listening to the tunes, it just automatically becomes the perfect combination to get everyone in a mood to socialize, move around and even dance on-board! The best part about the whole cruise was the gorgeous sunset (besides the OPEN bar).

I would definitely recommend this to my friends and to everyone I know!! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Sailing + Drinks + Friends = GOOD TIMES!

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!

Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!

Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!

As mentioned in other reviews, most participants were foreigners. On the day we attended, I believe there was only one other Japanese group besides us.

After departing from Waikiki Beach, there is a safety briefing and a drink explanation, all in English. Once the explanation is over, drinks are served, and then you can relax while watching the sunset.

On the day we participated, it started off sunny, but it became cloudy, and unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely and elegant time out in the waters off Waikiki. The young foreign girls were dancing with drinks in hand the whole time! Don't worry if you can't speak English at all! With so few Japanese people around, you can really feel like you're abroad.

Please make sure to use the restroom before boarding! You should assume there is no restroom on the boat. (There is one, but it has a terrible smell, and you really have to brace yourself to use it...) Well, it's for emergencies!

But other than that, it was fantastic! The next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely sign up again!

他の方の口コミにもあるように、参加者の大半の方が外国人でした。私たちが参加したこの日も、日本人は私たち以外に１組だけだったと思います。

ワイキキビーチを出発すると、安全確認の説明と、ドリンクの説明があります。全て英語です。その説明が終わると、ドリンクが配られ、あとはサンセットを見ながらのんびりです。

私たちが参加したこの日は、最初は晴れていたのですが、途中から曇ってしまい、あいにくキレイなサンセットは見れませんでした。でも、ワイキキの沖でゆっくりのんびり、優雅な時間を過ごせました。外人の若い女の子たちは、終始お酒片手に踊っていましたよ☆　英語ができなくても全然大丈夫！日本人が少ないので、外国を感じることができます。

くれぐれも、乗船する前にトイレは済ませて下さい！船にはトイレが無いと思った方がいいです。（あるにはあるけど、ひどい悪臭で、相当覚悟しないと入れないと思います・・・）　まぁ、緊急用ですね！

でもそれ以外は最高です！
次回ハワイに行ったら、必ずまた申し込みます☆

I took my daughter on a Hawaiian vacation and I wanted to get out to celebrate the holiday in a special way somehow. She is 13 and just at that age where it is still "cool" to go out on dates with your dad. So I decided to take her on this cruise and make a big night of it.

It was perfect! We got a little dressed up and went on board...there was live music and a delicious dinner (I had Mahi Mahi that was out of this world, and they even had a vegetarian offering for my always on a diet daughter!)

Watching the fireworks show, and seeing my little girl happy and feeling like a queen for the night...that was priceless. Worth the money, without a doubt!

From the start to the end, great trip. The staff was unbelievable. They helped in all factors of the trip. From getting drinks, to helping people on board, to holding the buckets of the poor souls that had to much excitement. We will be back with the whole family. Thanks again for getting the double rainbow on the way back in.

I picked this cruise because I wanted to get out and do something for the Fourth of July, but I didn't want the hassle of dealing with huge crowds of people, fighting traffic, and being around a bunch of screaming teenagers running around.

This was the perfect choice for me. I am a big guy, so I like to eat...buffet style all the way, and I am a happy man. So the food was good. Drinks were available at reasonable prices, and the best part was nobody seemed to be there to get drunk, but just enjoyed some drinks and the night. The fireworks were the best ending to a good night. I made a great choice, obviously.

Very enjoyable trip and beautiful scenary

It was very enjoyable and interesting. The splashes of the waves were exhilarating, the swaying was like a roller coaster, and I was impressed by the deep blue color of the ocean. The view from offshore Waikiki was spectacular.

Among the participants, we were the only two Asians, and most seemed to be mainland Americans visiting for tourism (based on their accents).

Because of this, it was a very lively cruise. Indeed, the atmosphere tends to decline significantly when there are Japanese people on board.

If you don't understand Japanese and aren't quite fluent in English, you won't be able to grasp what the crew is saying. It was fun!!

大変楽しく面白かったでうす。
波しぶきは受けるは、ゆれはジェットコースター並みで、海の色の青さには、感激しました。
ワイキキの沖からの景色は絶景でした。


参加者は、東洋人は私たち２人だけで、ほとんどが、観光で着ているメインランドのアメリカ人のようでした。
（言葉のなまりで判断）

それなので、非常にのりのよいクルージングでした。やはり、のりのよさはでは、日本人がいると、かなり悪くなってしまいます。　　

日本語は通じず、かなり英語がしゃべれる人でないと、クルーの言っていることは、不明です。　
面白かった！！

I think there were about 25 people on board, and we were the only Japanese. It was a cruise where couples, families, and friends could all truly enjoy themselves in their own ways.

Everyone participated differently, but there was a sense of unity among us. My family, for instance, had the chance to take pictures with an American couple in front of us, and sometimes the couples were hugging and kissing. A group of young girls was having a blast, dancing to the music at the front of the boat while splashing water everywhere.

Thanks to the staff's attentiveness, everyone maintained a good distance from each other, and I can honestly say there was nothing to complain about. The beautiful sea, the view of Waikiki, and the pleasant breeze made it all perfect.

My 78-year-old father was feeling anxious before boarding, but afterward, he unexpectedly said, "I had so much fun, I want to do it again." I was truly glad that I could share this first experience with him.

乗船は25名ぐらいだったと思います、日本人は我々だけでしたがカップル、家族、友人同士それぞれが思い思いに本当に楽しめるクルーズでした。

参加の仕方はそれぞれですが、全員の一体感もあり家族で参加した私たちも前のアメリカ人のカップルと写真を撮りあったりする時間もあり、時にはカップルは抱き合ってキスしていたりと・・。
若い女の子のグループはめちゃくちゃはしゃいで水を浴びる船の先端で音楽に合せて踊っていました。
とにかくスタッフの気配りのおかげでみんな良い距離感を保てているし、おせじ抜きに言う事無しです。
綺麗な海とワイキキの景色、心地よい風。
78才の父も乗船前は不安になっていたのですが、終わってから「とても楽しかった、もう一度乗りたい」と想定外の言葉が飛び出して、初体験の父を一緒に参加させてよかったと心から思いました。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but after turning 60, I had one regret. I wanted to try surfing at least once! However, participating in the Outrigger Catamaran Sailing made me feel like my dream came true. The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, the blue sky, and the azure sea from the water was breathtaking. I even found the strength of the wind and the coolness of the sea spray to be pleasant. The perspective was different from the dinner cruise I had taken before; it felt as if I was flying over the waves... Unfortunately, since it was in the evening, I didn't encounter any sea turtles. Next time, I definitely want to join a morning sailing to meet the sea turtles! If possible, I would love to see dolphins too! This was an activity I would love to participate in again. Thank you very much.

ハワイはもう何度も行ってますが、６０歳を過ぎて心残りがありました。
一度でいいから「サーフィン」をしてみたい！でも今回のアウトリガー・カタマランセーリングに参加して、夢が叶った気分でした。海の上から眺めるワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、青い空、碧い海。風の強さも、波しぶきの冷たさも心地よくさえ感じました。以前に乗ったディナークルーズの船とは、目線の高さが違うぶん、まるで私が波の上を飛んでいるように…でも、夕方の時間だったので、海がめには遭遇できませんでした。次回はぜひ朝のセーリングに参加して、海がめに逢いたい！できればイルカにも逢いたい！
もう一度、ぜひ参加したいアクティビティでした。ありがとうございました。

I took my sister on this sail last night..and this is by far the best sail (tour wise) this island has to offer. Tropical winds, beautiful deep blue ocean and amazing hawaiian coastal scenery.

Crew on-board both the Spirit of Aloha and Honi Olani are superb and exceed your service expectations. Fortunately, for the adult beverage people, this became an Open bar sail (Beer is usually $1 and mixed drinks are $2) but this is because the boat departed late.

No one comes on-board to get drunk or rowdy..we were all in silent agreement to enjoy our drinks, enjoy our scrumptious dinner and have a wonderful time.. everyone on-board did just that.

Everyone who boarded the vessel were strangers, but we all became friends by the end of the night. Thank You Hawai' Nautical for a wonderful evening of good food, drinks, friendly conversations and laughter.

I was worried about the cloudy sky in the morning, but with the completely clear blue sky, I felt like a yachtsman. We were the only Japanese people, but we enjoyed sailing together with people from various nationalities. The color of the sea was stunning, perfectly described as cobalt blue and ocean blue. The yacht, boldly sailing against the wind on the sea, was more enjoyable than I expected.

朝からの曇り空に、気を揉んでいたのですが、
すっかりの青空に気分はヨットマン。
日本人は私達だけでしたが、いろんな国籍の方々と
和気あいあいと乗り組みました。
コバルトブルー、オーシャンブルー、・・
青色の表現がぴったりの澄んだ海の色に感激。
海の上を風に逆らって豪快に進むヨットは思いの他
楽しかったです。

It was just me and my friend, completely out of place among the Japanese, but the lively atmosphere and upbeat music really lifted our spirits! Surrounded by refreshing winds and the sea, it felt amazing. We encountered a large group of dolphins up close, and they even spun around like in a dolphin show. It's truly surprising to see this in the wild. Additionally, we were able to see sea turtles very close by, which was very satisfying. I recommend this for anyone who wants to see dolphins and turtles! I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by couples, friends, and families alike. Don't worry, it's not a tour where you get too wet! Also, there are two hotels in Waikiki, Outrigger and Outrigger Reef, so make sure you don't accidentally go to Outrigger Beach! It's right next to Halekulani~~＾＾ It was a relaxing tour amidst a packed Hawaii trip.

日本人は私と友達の二人だけで完全アウェイ状態でしたが、外国人のノリの良さとアップテンポな曲で一気にテンション上がりました~！！！
爽快な風と海に囲まれてとても気持ちよかったです。間近でイルカの大群に出会い、イルカのショーみたく、くるくるっと回転までしてくれました。これが野生なんだから本当に驚きです。また、ウミガメもすぐ近くで見ることができ、大満足でした。イルカもカメも見たい人にはおススメです！！
カップルでも友達でもファミリーでも楽しめるツアーだと思います。あまり濡れるツアーではないので安心してください。それから、ワイキキにはアウトリガーとアウトリガーリーフの２つホテルがあるので間違ってアウトリガーのビーチに行かないように！！ハレクラニの隣ですよ~~＾＾
予定ツメツメのハワイ旅行の間にホッとのんびりできるツアーでした。

Only my friend and I participated as Japanese. When the white sails of the yacht catch the wind and pick up speed, we are splashed with water without mercy. I had a very enjoyable time while gazing at the blue sea. I definitely think this is an activity I would like to participate in again!

日本人で参加したのは私と友達の二人。
ヨットの白い帆が風を受けてスピードが出ると容赦なく水をかぶります。
青い海を眺めながらとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
また、ぜひ参加したいアクティビティだと思います！

At first, I was worried about getting wet... but I ended up sitting at the front of the yacht, getting completely soaked and having a blast! I was able to enjoy a passion fruit cocktail on the yacht, and since the seawater splashed on us, I bought a drink in a shaker-type container! The cocktail had a slight salty taste from the seawater, and it was so much fun to enjoy it while having a great time with the other participants!

最初は濡れるのがいやかも…
と思っていましたが、ヨットの前に足を出して座り濡れまくり騒ぎまくりでハイテンションに！
ヨットの上でパッションフルーツのカクテルも飲めて、海の水がかかるので、シェーカータイプの容器に入ったドリンクを購入！海の水がかかってちょっぴり塩味なカクテルも、ほかの参加者たちと騒ぎながらでとても楽しかったです！

I was drawn in by the campaign price and decided to participate.

The yacht was relatively small, accommodating about 17 people. We boarded with my spouse and our 9-month-old baby, making three of us. The other guests were all foreigners (three groups, about seven people).

The boat left the sandy beach, started the engine, and headed a few hundred meters offshore. Once we were out at sea, we raised the yacht's sails and enjoyed the ride powered only by the wind. This was incredibly refreshing. Thanks to the cheerful captain and crew, the upbeat music kept the energy high throughout the trip! The alcohol mixed with tropical juice (for an extra charge) was perfect for this boat.

Although my spouse and I usually get motion sickness, we were able to enjoy ourselves this time without feeling seasick at all.

We even got to see sea turtles swimming, making this a thoroughly satisfying activity.

キャンペーン価格につられて参加しました。

ヨットは比較的小型のもので、１７人定員くらいのものでした。
我々は夫婦と０歳９カ月の赤ちゃんと３人で乗船。
他のお客さんは外国人の方々のみ（３組、７人位）。

船は砂浜を出て、エンジンをかけて数百メートルの沖へ。
沖に出てからはヨットの帆を張り、風の力だけで遊覧。
これが最高に気持ちいいです。
陽気な運転手さんと乗組員さんのおかげもあり、アップテンポな音楽でノリノリのヨットは常にテンション上がりっぱなし！
トロピカルジュース（別料金）で割ったアルコールも、この船にピッタリでした。

我々夫婦は乗り物酔いをする方なのですが、今回はほとんど船酔いすることもなく楽しめました。

ウミガメが泳いでいるところも見れましたし、大満足のアクティビティでした。

My wife and I participated together. The catamaran's docking location was right in front of us, accessible via a paved path leading from the Outrigger Hotel to the beach between the Halekulani Hotel. There were about twenty participants, and we were the only Japanese, but it was not a problem at all. Since our feet would get wet, we prepared to set sail in our swimsuits. The instructions were given in English, and we were able to leave our sandals and board barefoot. I tend to get seasick, so I quickly sat next to the center mast. The tour departed at 3 PM, and fortunately, the weather was great. As soon as we set sail, we spotted the silhouette of a sea turtle in the water. As we headed out, the sea, which had been calm, began to get choppy, resembling a bit of an amusement park ride. Other guests were squealing with excitement every time they got splashed by the waves. The view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was refreshing and created wonderful memories. I didn't give a perfect score of five stars overall because, on the way back to the beach, I got a bit cold after being splashed by seawater for a long time, which lowered my mood. I think it's best to wear a swimsuit if you sit at the bow, as you'll get wet often, but if you're near the captain, you might not get splashed as much.

　妻と２人で参加しました。カタマラン号の停泊場所は、アウトリガーホテルとハレクラニホテルの敷地間のビーチへ続く舗装道があって、そこを通ると目の前でした。参加者は２０数名、日本人は私たちだけでしたが特に問題なし。足元が濡れるので水着の状態で出航準備。英語で案内があって、サンダルを預かってもらって裸足で乗船。私は船に酔いやすいので、急いで中心の帆柱の横に座りました。午後３時出発のツアーで幸い天気もよく、出航してすぐ海中に海カメのシルエットを発見。沖に出ると次第におだやかだった海も波が高くなり、ちょっとした遊園地のアトラクションのようでした。他の客は波を被るたびにキャッキャ言っていました。沖から見るワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は爽快で、良い思い出となりました。総合評価で満点５つ☆にしなかったのは、ビーチへ帰るときに、長い間海水を被って少し冷えてテンションが下がってしまったことです。帆先に座るとよく濡れるので水着が良いと思いますが、船長近くの場所であれば、濡れることも少ないと思います。

We participated as a family of five. Besides us, there was a group of about ten American young people and a couple who were also American. The one and a half hours of sailing were overwhelming due to the lively performances of this group of young people (in their late teens) and the staff, making it a delightful and enjoyable experience.

ファミリー5名で参加しました。我々以外は、アメリカンの
若者グループ10数名と同じくアメリカンの夫婦一組でした。
セーリングの一時間半はこの若者（10代後半）グループとスタッフの乗りの良いパフォーマンスに圧倒され、愉快で楽しく過ごせました。

It was my honeymoon! I was torn between this and a three-star option, but I definitely think this one is better. There are crew members who are second-generation Japanese, so language is not a problem at all, which is reassuring. The ship is smaller than I expected (it has sails) and feels like a luxurious cruise.

The food is a buffet. You can take whatever you like whenever you want, but there are no refills, so if you don't eat the good stuff early on, it will be gone (laughs). However, overall, the flavors are delicious even for Japanese people, and I enjoyed a lot of it! (Desserts are served later too☆)

The sunset is truly beautiful! There’s nothing obstructing the fireworks, so it’s really nice.

On the last day of my honeymoon, I made some wonderful memories!

ハネムーンでした！
スリースターと迷ったんですが、断然こっちのほうがいいとおもいます♪日系二世のクルーがいるので、言葉も全く問題なく安心です。思ったよりはだいぶ小さい船(帆が付いています)でお金持ちのクルージングって感じ。
料理はビュッフェ？です。好きな時に好きなモノを取って食べる感じですが、追加はないので、最初の方に食べないと美味しいモノはなくなります(笑)でも、全体的に日本人にも美味しい味付けで沢山いただきました♪(後でデザートも出てきます☆)
夕日はほんとに綺麗です！花火も遮るものが何もないのでとてもいいです☆
ハネムーンの最終日、
とってもステキな思い出ができました♪

After helicoptering over it the day before, my lady and I weren't sure seeing the Na Pali coastline from below by boat would be worth the time and money. Boy, were we glad we took the chance! The two experiences were totally different. The sunset dinner cruise on the Holoholo catamaran was up close and personal. We recommend it highly.

Great time. Awesome value. Will return.

It was an evening cruise, and I had a really great time. At first, it was fine to wear a short-sleeved shirt since the sun was out, but as we went out to sea, it gradually got colder. I think it's a good idea to prepare something to wear over your clothes. Also, when you get on the boat, your feet will get wet, so wearing shorts or capri pants is best. The captain tells American jokes and sometimes uses Japanese.

夕方のクルージングでしたが、とてもとても楽しめました。
最初は日が出ていたため半袖で平気でしたが、海へ出て徐々に寒くなってきます。何か羽織る服を準備するといいと思います。
あとボートに乗るとき足が海に入るのでハーフパンツか短パンがベストです。
キャプテンのトークはアメリカンジョークをとばしてます。
時に日本語使ってくれます。

I participated with my boyfriend!
It was an English tour, but I enjoyed it enough♪

However, it was a bit lonely when they said, "Japanese people can sit over there."

The fireworks were beautiful, the boat was comfortable, and I had a great time.

I would like to participate again.

彼氏と参加しました！
英語のツアーなのですが、十分楽しめましたよ♪

ただ、説明の時に「ジャパニーズはあっちに座ってていいよ」と言われたのはちょっとさみしかったです。

花火はきれいだし、船も気持ち良く、楽しい時間を
過ごせました。

また参加したいと思います。

My Boyfriend and I had an incredible time on the Navatek. The employee who greeted us at the hotel was our server on the boat. She was the nicest most attentive women ever. The sunset was beautiful. This trip was a sheer pleasure.

The sunset viewed from the sea is exceptional. There is an emotion that only those who have experienced it can understand. On top of that, there are fireworks. You can enjoy a classic Hawaiian experience that makes you feel luxurious.

海から眺めるサンセットは格別です。体験した人にしかわからない感動があります。おまけに花火。リッチな気分が味わえるベタなハワイを体験できますよ。

I participated the day before returning home on my honeymoon. During my stay, I couldn't see the sunset very often, so I was looking forward to it.

There was one other family of Japanese people besides us, and since the explanations after boarding were in English, I only had a vague understanding of how to wear the life jackets and how to order drinks, but I had a great time.

Feeling the pleasant breeze under the blue sky, sipping champagne while listening to music was exceptional! The sunset in Hawaii was truly beautiful. Even though it was March, I was able to see whales in the distance. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again. I highly recommend it!

ハネムーンで帰国日前日に参加しました。滞在中、なかなかサンセットを見ることができなかったので期待していました。

日本人は私達のほかファミリーが一組で、乗船後の説明なども英語のため、救命胴衣の着用方法や飲み物のオーダー方法などなんとなくでの理解でしたが楽しい時間を過ごせました。

気持ちよい風を受け、青い空の下、音楽を聴きながらのシャンパンは格別です！ハワイでの初めてのサンセットは本当に美しかったです。3月でしたが、遠くでクジラを見ることができました。またハワイに来るチャンスがあれば参加したいです。オススメです！
