All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I came back again this year. The scenery on this cruise was amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales, but I definitely want to plan for next year and participate again.

去年に続き、やってきました。このクルーズ景色はサイコーでした。
残念でしたがホエールは見れませんでした、来年も計画して是非参加したいです。

Based on reviews, my expectations were pretty high. The only thing high was the cost and the brutal 30-40 MPH winds. This cruise should have been cancelled. The day before the Dinner Cruise I received a call to confirm my reservation. The weather unfortunately for 4 days was rain and high winds. The day before the wind was very strong. I asked about the wind conditions and was told no problem as they sailed to a calmer protected area. On the day of the Dinner Cruise we showed up and the wind was howling. You could not even wear a hat. The boat is very nice, the crew was great and attentive. The Captain even said Ma'laea Harbor was the windiest place in Maui. He joked that the salad may blow off the plates. He actually was not joking, the salads did blow off the plates. We were instructed to bring a light sweater as the evenings could be cool. By the end of the trip we needed full ski suits and gloves. Everyone tried to gather in the enclosed part of the boat to escape the wind and cold. The Trilogy out of Lahaina may be a better option as the wind is blocked by the mountain range. If you book, just make sure of the weather forecast. I can envision this being a very nice experience, but due to the wind and cold, it really should have been cancelled.

The Sunset Cocktail Tour was fantastic. The tour guide and bartender are both friendly and helpful without being overbearing in any way. The drinks were delicious and you absolutely couldn't beat the view. The ship was very spacious and we had an awesome time. Totally worth the price!

This was the highlight of our vacation. Watching the sunset over the ocean and fireworks from the water was fun and romantic. The food was pretty good and very filling. We had great time. I would highly recommend this excursion.

Super fun time during the entire cruise, great drinks, and outstanding food. Captain and crew attentive and fun to talk to. Can't go wrong with this cruise.

The sunset viewed from the sea was beautiful and moving. There was only one other couple besides our family, and everyone spoke English, but we had no trouble enjoying the cruise while sipping Mai Tais and soft drinks. As time went on, the Mai Tais kept flowing, and the atmosphere on the boat became very lively. In the second half, we split into groups on the right and left sides of the boat, and began a loud call-and-response of "Ho~♪ Fu~♪," creating quite a commotion.

It became a very memorable sunset cruise as we felt a sense of unity with the people we happened to be with.

When boarding and disembarking, the waves can come up to knee height, so it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Also, once you head out to sea, the wind can be strong, so having an extra layer to wear would be a good idea.

海から観るサンセットは美しく感動ものでした。日本人は私たち家族とカップルが一組のみ。英語オンリーでしたが、問題なくマイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらクルーズを楽しむことができました。
時間が経つにつれマイタイも進み、船内は非常に盛り上がり、後半は、船の右と左のグループに分かれて、「ホウ～♪フウ～♪」と大声の掛け合いが始まり大騒ぎ＾＾
たまたま乗り合わせた人たちと一体感を持てて、とても思い出深いサンセットクルーズになりました。

乗船と下船の際には、波がひざ上くらいに来ることがありますので、濡れても良い服装がいいです。また、沖へ出ると風が強いので、一枚羽織るものがあると良いと思います。

We had a lovely time on the cruise, staff was nice, and drinks were tasty

We decided to splurge a little on the sunset dinner cruise our last night in Waikiki. Great decision. I booked on Veltra and got a seniors' rate. The pick up and drop off was at no additional charge, and worked like clockwork. If you plan to enhance your ocean outing with lots of alcoholic drinks, it might be worth a bit extra to purchase the larger souvenir glass, which seemed pretty popular. A sweater or a jacket is a must, especially when the sun goes down. The staff were efficient and very friendly. Whales were spotted! Highly recommended activity.

Friendly crew, fireworks were great. If you buy the cup you get a discount rate for rinks for future use

We had a fantastic time. Ian, Jeremy and Kama did a wonderful job and took great care of us. The scenery was amazing, and they filled us in on some history of the area. We even got to see some whales breach, accompanied by spinner Dolphins!. Great trip and would recommend to anyone. Holo Holo did a first class job!

This was hands down our favorite excursion on the island! Fantastic Crew, great food, fun music, great snorkeling, and lovely boat ride. We went with my mom and our 5 year old son. Both of them chose not to snorkel and still had a blast. Extra bonus, they have a photographer who took tons of photos (even underwater!) at the cost of $40 for the entire flash drive. Really great time! Highly recommend!! We will be back :-)

We participated as a family of four. It wasn't too hot or too cold, and there was a slight breeze, so the weather was perfect. Even though there was an all-you-can-drink option, I found that two sweet cocktails were more than enough. It was my first time seeing Waikiki from the ocean, and I thought it was great. On the boat, the American ladies were lively and it was entertaining.

家族4人で参加。暑くもなく、寒気もなく、風も少しあり天気は最高でした。
お酒飲み放題といっても、甘ったるいカクテルで２杯も飲めばもう十分です。
海の方からワイキキを見るのは初めてでしたので、良かったと思います。
船の上は米人の小母さん達が盛り上がって面白かったです。

Everything was wonderful. The food, and service... I will come back again

I didn't see any tails splashing, but I did see whales multiple times and also witnessed spouting. I opted for the breakfast option, and it had more variety than I expected and was delicious, so I'm glad I chose it. The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the restroom was clean. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also wonderful! Even if you don't see whales, you can still enjoy the cruise. I would love to participate again.

しっぽバッシャーンのような姿は見られませんでしたが、何度もクジラの姿が見られたし、潮吹きも見られました。朝食付きにしましたが、思っていたよりも種類もあったしおいしかったので付けてよかったです。大きな船だったので船酔いもなく、トイレもきれい、海から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの姿も素晴らしかったです！もしクジラが見られなくてもクルーズを楽しめます。また参加したいです。

It's awesome!!!!! And very nice. It's my first time get on board, and I will never forget this experience in my life. Thank to staff on board!!!

had the BEST time, we went on for a friend's 21st and they made us feel really special. great music, absolutely stunning sunset, yummy drinks, well priced overall and the staff were really nice and interactive. thanks for having us and humouring us even when we were really annoying and loud. MAHALO YALL

The main event of this trip to Hawaii (laugh) was the whale cruise. The crew members were using binoculars on deck to search for whales, but we didn't see a single one... However, on the way there, we saw a small shark, and on the way back, three dolphins swam alongside the boat, so that was nice. I guess we were a bit late in the season... I'll try again next year.

今回のハワイ旅行のメインイベント（笑）である、クジラクルーズ。
乗組員のスタッフさん達が甲板で双眼鏡を使って探してくれていましたが、一頭も見られませんでした。。。
でも、往路では小さなサメ　復路の埠頭内ではイルカが三頭船に並走してくれたので　それだけでもよかったです。
時期が遅すぎたのでしょうか、、、、　
来年にリベンジします

Nice cruise. Food was good. Free to move up and down the boat. View was amazing. Caught the best sunset.

A few weeks ago, I heard from an acquaintance that it was great, so I decided to join.

I was worried about seasickness, but it was no problem at all. Enjoying drinks while watching the sunset over the ocean was truly moving!

Just a few days ago, I enjoyed dinner while watching the sunset from Waikiki Beach, but being able to enjoy the sunset from both the sea and the land, Hawaii is truly the best!

数週間前に知り合いが行って良かったと聞いたので参加しました。

船酔いが心配だったけれど全然問題なく、お酒を楽しみながら海からのサンセットは感動でした！

ちょうど数日前にワイキキビーチからサンセットを見ながらディナーを楽しみましたが、海からも陸からもサンセットを楽しめて、やっぱりハワイは最高です！

Had a great time on this cruise, meet really cool people, would recommend doing this at beginning of trip so you get the opportunity to hang out with new friends. Drinks were always full :)
Would definitely go again.

We had a wonderful experience at the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise.
This was our second time, but we will absolutely go again.

We had a great time, enjoyed the food and first class service as well as entertainment and fireworks. The only negative was that if you eat different meals, you can't sit together in the same room. The staff did make accommodation and get us together but we never got the steak and lobster that was paid for with the more expensive meal.

Had a blast! Several whale sightings. The lunch was fantastic. Hula lessons, lei making and yukelele lessons. Service was impecable. My kids and husband had a fantastic time.

We travel a lot and love an afternoon sail. Wednesday's 3pm sail featured mellow 70s music (CCR, Eagles, and that classic plane crash ditty Fire and Rain, along with some 50s tunes). Really? Music that's 40 - 58 years old?

The captains seemed barely engaged in their jobs, chatting with each other about filing their taxes for much of the 90 minute sail.

Though the trades weren't blowing, no effort was made to find enough wind to make it feel like a sail, nor did our crew display any interest in pointing out local landmarks, Hawaiian history and lore, or the flora and fauna.

There were good at hustling the $2 waters and sodas and $10 refillable drinks and reminding us to tip.

Snooze.

My boyfriend and I went on the Sunset Cocktail Sail on the Holokai Catarmaran, and it was absolutely perfect! The crew was so welcoming and so much fun, the drinks were never empty, and the views were absolutely stunning. Our Airbnb host recommended this activity to us and I'm so glad he did! It was fun, romantic, and perfect for site seeing. I highly recommend!

I apologize for the inconvenience caused by our mistake, but you provided a courteous response. In the future, I would like to use your services again.

Great cost performance!
Great service!
Great food !
Great entertainment!

I must say I was a little skeptical... It turned out to be fantastic. We decided to go on this dinner cruise for my wife's birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The food was great...surprising for a huge amount of people. The drinks, entertainment, the vessel, the views all spectacular. And the staff were first rate!!!! I would definitely do this again and quite frankly for the price...it is truly a bargain!!!

It was great experience . we enjoyed celebrated our little ones first bday !! we enjoyed the food it was delicious!! a memorable experience!!!

I waited at the ticket booth 30 minutes before departure, but there was no one around. As I kept waiting, a lot of people started gathering near the catamaran. In the end, check-in began right at the departure time in front of the catamaran, and we were photographed as a group. We boarded while getting wet up to our thighs. Although we were assigned seats, it seemed we could sit anywhere if there were open spots. Some people stood the whole time getting splashed with water, and I worried if they were cold. (It wasn't cold if you didn't get splashed.) There were about five Japanese people, and the Mai Tai was very delicious, so be careful not to drink too much.

We enjoyed the wind and turned around at the back of Diamond Head, then had a luxurious time watching the sunset. Perhaps because of the season, we were lucky enough to see a whale's tail.

Everyone was excited about the crew's talk, but it was totally fine not to understand English.

The tour ended on time. Right after getting off, photos were printed and sold for $20, but it was perfectly fine to decline. However, the photo of us with the blue ocean, Diamond Head, and the catamaran in the background turned out beautifully, so we decided to buy it.

I've experienced sunset cruises on luxury ships, but I want to go on this tour again. I wonder when I can go next.

出発の30分前にチケット売り場で待ってましたが、それらしき人もいなく
ひたすら待ってたら、カタマラン号の前あたりに人が沢山集まってきました。
結局出発時間ちょうどにカタマラン号の前で受け付けが始まり、グループごとに
写真を勝手にとられ＾＾ひざ上まで水につかり乗り込みました。
席は支持はされましたが、空いていればどこでもいいみたい。
ずっと水しぶきをあびて立っている人もいましたが、寒くないのかと心配になるくらい。
（水を浴びなければ寒くはなかったです）
日本人は合計5人ほどで、マイタイがとてもおいしくて飲みすぎ注意。

風を身体中にあびてダイヤモンドヘッドの裏までいきUターン
その後サンセット贅沢な時間を過ごせました。
この時期だからなのか、くじらの尻尾もみることができラッキーでした。

英語はさっぱりわからずクルーの話に皆さん盛り上がっていましたが、
わからなくても全然オッケーです＾＾

時間通りに終了。降りたら直ぐに＄20で写真が印刷され売られてましたが、
断ってもまったくかまいません。
が、青い海にダイヤモンドヘッドとカタマラン号をバックに映った私達
とても綺麗に撮れてましたので、お買い上げしました＾＾

豪華クルーズ船でのサンセットも経験していますが、
また次に乗りたいと思うのは、このツアーです。
今度はいついけるのかなあ。
