All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I was a bit troubled because there was no one who could speak Japanese, and I wasn't sure where the reception was or if I should just wait here. There were no other Japanese participants either.
However, once we set sail on the boat, the breeze was very pleasant and it was amazing.
I recommend departing in the evening; I think the sunlight is too harsh during the day.
Beer and soft drinks are all-you-can-drink. Japanese is not understood.

日本語が話せる人がいなくて受付もどこにあるのかここで待ってればいいのかちょっと困りました。参加者も日本人があおませんでした。
でも実際に船で海に出発するととても風が気持ちよくて最高でした。
夕方出発がオススメです。お昼は日差しがキツすぎると思います。
ビールもソフトドリンクも飲み放題です。日本語は通じません。。

This is a great family activity and everyone to enjoy.

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The ship was bigger than I expected. Well, it was quite crowded. I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly. At times, it rocked quite a bit, and I thought I might get seasick if it lasted too long. The view from the sea, including Diamond Head, was wonderful.

初めてのハワイで参加しました。
思っていたより船も大きかったです。まぁ、ぎゅうぎゅうに乗ってましたけど。
ゆっくりサンセットも拝むことが出来ました。
時々、かなり揺れて、長時間だと酔ってしまうかなっと思いました。
沖からの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど、素晴らしかったです。

Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.

Good cruise but was disappointed that it stated Fireworks and they brought us back to land to watch it and not on the catamaran where we would have gotten a great view. Don't advertise fireworks and then don't deliver. We could have paid the lesser price and got the same thing. Just sayin!!

Originally I was planning to join sunset sailing, but it was full and jointed daytime sailing. It was one of the best experience while I was staying in Waikiki. Beautiful view and great time with fun crews

We encountered about ten whales during the cruise. They appeared very close to the boat, which was truly moving. It was a bit disappointing that the Japanese announcements came after the English ones, causing a slight delay in the whale sighting announcements.

クルーズ中に１０頭ほどのクジラに遭遇。船のすぐ近くにも現れて感動ものでした。日本語の案内が英語の後なのでクジラ出現のアナウンスがワンテンポ遅れてしまうのが少し残念。

We used this for our honeymoon memories. We departed from Hilton Hawaiian Village and spent about two hours relaxing on the sea while enjoying the sunset. The time spent heading towards Diamond Head bathed in the sunset was particularly pleasant and enjoyable.

There were only my husband and I as the Japanese participants, but the crew was very considerate and kindly provided us with the onboard explanation in Japanese separately from the other participants.

Additionally, the boat was comfortable to ride on, and when it started to rain, we were able to take shelter under the roof, allowing us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Alcoholic drinks were free for up to two servings, and there was a wide variety available, along with potato chips and warm snacks.

The boat was larger compared to the number of participants, which allowed everyone to enjoy their own space. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

ハネムーンの思い出に利用しました。
ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ヴィレッジから出発し、サンセットを臨みながら2時間ほど海上でのんびり過ごしました。夕日を浴びるダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かう時間は、特に心地よく気持ちが良かったです。

参加者で日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、船員の方が気を利かせてくれ、他の参加者とは別に私たちだけに日本語で出発前の船内説明をして頂けて非常に親切でした。

また、船も乗り心地は快適で、途中雨が降ってきたときも屋根つきのためデッキからの非難ができ、最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
アルコール類も2杯までは無料で種類も豊富、ポテトチップスやあたたかい小料理もありました。

参加人数に比べ大き目の船でしたので、それぞれが思い思いの場所で過ごせるのもいい点でした。ハワイに来た時には、また参加したいと思いました。

This is a great option for those that get sea sick! The boat was very smooth! Brandon our waiter was fantastic, and was a good laugh. Would recommend and go again

It was quite fun to be out at sea and feel the speed while sailing with the wind. I was able to see Diamond Head from offshore.

沖合に出てから風で走っているときのスピードが結構速く楽しかった。ダイヤモンドヘッドを沖合から見る事が出来た。

I board the cruise every time to enjoy the last sunset in Hawaii.

Usually, the calm waters of Waikiki are a delight, but this time the waves and wind were unusually strong, causing the boat to sway a bit. However, it was still an enjoyable cruise.

There were many people surfing off Waikiki, riding the big waves that reminded me of the North Shore. I also had plenty of Mai Tais.

The sunset was more beautiful than usual, and I was able to see various rays of sunlight. Although it wasn't a green flash, it was stunning enough to be etched in my memory.

Every time, I whisper to myself that I will come back to see it again, and I enjoyed the last sunset in Hawaii. The cruise staff was wonderful too! I will definitely use this service again.

毎回、ハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しむために、乗船します。
いつもは穏やかなワイキキの海が、珍しく波が強く風も強く、やや船は揺れましたが、それはそれで楽しいクルーズでした。
ワイキキ沖でサーフィンを楽しむ人たちが多く、ノースを思わせるような大きな波に楽しそうに乗っていました。
マイタイもまたまた、たくさんいただきました。
サンセットも、いつも以上にきれいに見え、太陽の様々な光を見ることができました。グリーンフラッシュとはいかずとも、目に焼き付くような美しさでした。
毎回、また見に来るね~と、心でつぶやいてハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しみました。
クルーズスタッフも素敵でした！！
また、必ず利用します。

We were the only Japanese people. When we arrived at the location, the small boat was completely different from what I had imagined. And there was a restaurant that looked like a ruin right next to it. At first, I felt really anxious. Is this okay? Is this the right place? But after completing the procedures, it seemed to be correct. Despite my worries, we started!!

The boat allowed us to feel the waves and wind, which was really pleasant! Since there were no other Japanese people, it really felt like we were overseas! It was a fun experience that you definitely can't have on a two or three-story boat. It was like an adventure! We were also able to see the fireworks clearly, which made me very satisfied. It was an incredibly casual night cruise with a great sense of openness. I'm very satisfied!

日本人は私たちのみ。現地に到着するとイメージしていた船とは全く異なる小さな船が。そして廃墟のようなレストランがすぐそばに。最初とっっっても不安になりました。これは、大丈夫か？と。合ってるの？
と。でも手続きをしたら合っている模様。不安になりながらもスタート！！
波と風を感じられる船でとっても気持ちが良い！日本人がいないので海外にきてるなー！という感じ。二階建てや三階建ての船では絶対に体験できない楽しさ。まるでadventure！花火もしっかりと見ることができ大満足。開放感抜群のカジュアルすぎるナイトクルーズ。満足です！

For some reason, we were checked for ID, and since we didn't have our passports, we couldn't drink alcohol. It completely defeats the purpose of participating in a cocktail cruise if we can't drink. Moreover, the other participants weren't checked for ID, and it seems to depend on the crew's discretion, which is just unacceptable!

なぜかIDチェックをされて、パスポートを持っていなかった私たちはアルコール類を飲む事が出来ませんでした。カクテルクルーズなのに飲めないのでは参加した意味が全くありません。
また、周りの参加者にはIDチェックはしておらず、船員のさじ加減次第で決められてしまうなんてあり得ない！！

The activity is about an hour and being such a wide vessel motion sickness is not an issue. The shoreline was amazing and the fireworks were nice. It is petty much what you'd expect being on a catamaran.

The dinner was amazing, the filet was cooked perfectly and the crab legs kept on coming. We got a complimentary mai tai that was actually a very good drink (not that pre-mixed yucky stuff) and also ordered the $40 bottle of champagne. When dinner was finished, they put on a Polynesian show within the cabin that was loads of fun. Unfortunately the sunset was blocked by cloud cover but the show made up for it. The waitress was fantastic and the room supervisor was very attentive. Would definitely do this again! An additional note: they took the usual souvenir photo and charged $27 which we thought was way over the top...but it was framed beautifully (book-bound style) and ended up being the best photo of our entire honeymoon!! Worth every penny!

I went with my girlfriend. I was expecting a large ship for the cruise, but I was surprised it was smaller. However, this small size actually made it easier to communicate with the foreign guests around us. We had an amazing time! The Mai Tais on the boat were delicious, and I had about five of them. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and seeing the rainbow near Diamond Head was very soothing. Initially, I was worried about the weather, but it held up, and we were able to end our last day in Hawaii on a high note! I highly recommend it! 😊

彼女と行きました。クルーズということで、大きい船を予想していましたが、小さめでびっくり。
でもこの小ささが、周りの外国の方とのコミュニケーションが弾む結果に。めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！船で飲むマイタイはおいしく、5杯くらい頂きました。
もちろんサンセットも綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッド近くにできた虹を見て、とても癒されました。
当初天気が心配されましたが、なんとか持ち堪えてくれて、ハワイ最終日を最高な気分で終えることができました！！
オススメです(^ ^)

We participated as a couple. This sunset cruise offers unlimited drinks, and they serve Mai Tais as cocktails. The boat initially uses the engine to head out to sea, but once we are offshore, it sails solely with the sails. Since it was dusk, we enjoyed a very cool breeze, which was refreshing. I felt so good that I ended up drinking several Mai Tais. We were able to see the sunset clearly, and it was an unforgettable cruise experience.

夫婦で参加しました。このサンセットクルーズでは飲み物が飲み放題。カクテルはマイタイを出してくれます。船は最初エンジンを使って沖に出ていきますが、沖に出た後は、帆だけで海原を疾走します。夕暮れ時なので、大変涼しい風にあたれ、気分が爽快になります。私はあまりの気分の良さにマイタイを何杯も飲んでしまいました。
日が沈むところもしっかりと見え、これ以上ないクルーズが楽しめました。

Participated on the first day in Honolulu. It's perfect for feeling the essence of Hawaii.

Viewing Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea while enjoying a Mai Tai with the waves and wind is the best. I put my sandals and bag in the boat's storage box and boarded barefoot.

The front of the boat has a net, and the splashes of water are quite thrilling and enjoyable. You can move freely between seats, and it's also free to stand and feel the wind. Surrounded by foreigners, you really feel like you've come to Hawaii. This is definitely one of the activities I want to repeat next time.

ホノルル初日に参加。ハワイを感じるのに最適です。
ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海から眺め、波と風を感じながらマイタイって最高です。サンダルとバッグは船の収納ボックスに入れ、裸足で乗り込みます。
船の前方はネットが張ってあり、水しぶきがけっこう迫力があり楽しめます。席は自由に移動でき、立って風を感じるのも自由。周りは外人さんばかりでハワイに来たーと実感できます。次回もリピートしたいアクティビティのひとつです。

This was our first booked activity and it was amazing. Our captain was the best and the sunset was gorgeous. A relaxing, fun, and beautiful sail at sunset. The perfect introduction to Hawaii.

This was the most romantic experience.. Will do again at 50 year anniversary...

So happy I selected this cruise! Our flight was delayed getting to Oahu on our scheduled sail day and Island Magic was able to accomodate us by rescheduling us for the next day! On first meeting, crew was friendly and professional! The drinks flowed as promised and Chris, the drink captain was attentive and entertaining!
I only wished they served some vodka on board! But I was ok with the white wine served! Beautiful sunset, great views, awesome time!! Hope to have time to do it again before we leave!!

I spent a consideral amount of time researching some of the different options for sight seeing tours of the Napali Coast and found this to have the best reviews and all of them were 100% accurate. My girlfriend and I had been very active on our trip to Kauai up to this point and looked to this as a relaxing evening which it was. The Caiptain (his name escapes me) was very funny throughout the trip making sure to update us when we were near items of interest and was also a very skilled navigator, at one point situating the stern of the boat under a waterfall for people who wanted to go under it.

The two deck hands (I am not sure the proper title) were very attentive to all of the guests aboard throughout the entire trip. I forget the gentelmens name that I spoke with but he stood with me for some time explaining to me much of the history of the Napali Coast as well as what it has been like growing up on the Island which made my experience even better. The crew does whatever it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible and my tip to you is to tip them accordingly, they do a great job and deserve it!

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in having an informative relaxing experience. Also, the food was very good and the crew made sure that you always had a drink in your hand.

Food ia not that good!! The dinner tables are not that gate

A fun relaxing evening to put it simply. First there's the no hassle boarding right off the beach as the catamaran comes right up onto the beach. There may be a line but boarding is quick with lots of room for everyone once on board. You get underway very quickly, a brief safety talk, and then your motoring out past the waves to station yourself for the fireworks show. Drinks are as free flowing as you want distributed by the crew of one in a very efficient manner. The fireworks show looking back at the beach is pretty good - how can it not be- your on a boat in the Pacific, looking at skyline of Waikeke and it's 82 degrees!!! After the fireworks the captain raises the sails and you cruise along the coast. BUT - the best part of the trip is talking with the other passengers- my family met a group from New Zealand and we spent the time talking about differences between the two cultures as similiar as they may be to each other. We have 17 year old twins (boy & girl) and they also had lots of fun !! The price was a very good value, the time at sea was about right- Highly recommended!!

I had only been on large ships in Hawaii until now, so the catamaran, which allowed me to feel the ocean up close, was absolutely fantastic. My children also had a great time and were very happy. It was interesting to see surfers riding the waves up close. The crew was friendly as well. However, the boat does sway quite a bit due to the wind, so your clothes may get wet, and I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness.

いままでハワイで大型船にしか乗ったことがなかったので海を一番身近に感じられるカタマランは最高に楽しかったです。子供もとても楽しかったと喜んでいました。サーファーの波乗りもかなり近くでみることができ面白いです。クルーもフレンドリーです。ただし、船は風によってかなり揺れますので、お洋服は濡れますし、船酔いをする方にはあまりお勧めできません。

The Island Magic is the perfect name for the perfect Sunset Catamaran Cocktail Sail we had. The crew, drinks, and MUSIC was great. The sunset was spectacular but the bonus was the full moon over Diamond Head. It was an amazing night. Mahalo for the wonderful memories.

It was sunset time. The captain was very friendly, and it was a lot of fun. The sunset viewed from the beach is beautiful, but the sunset seen over the vast ocean is also wonderful. It was worth more than the price. This was my first catamaran experience in Hawaii, despite it being my sixth visit.

サンセットの時間帯でした。船長もとても気さくな方でとても楽しかったです。そして浜辺で観る夕陽も綺麗ですが、大海原で眺める夕陽も素敵です。価格以上の満足度でした。ハワイは６回目にして始めてのカタマラン体験でした。

The crew was amazing. The fireworks were awesome!! It started out with a booking that was fast and informative. We then started out on the water. Smooth sailing, and the captain was very friendly and personable. They said that the maitais were the best on the island. They weren't kidding!! Overall very well done! A must do, must see, must experience!

I have participated in the daytime cruise twice before and had a great time, so this time I tried the sunset cruise. We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful. The experience is completely different from viewing it from the ground. Previously, most participants were foreigners, but this time there were many Japanese people. They were a bit quieter, but we were able to take photos and enjoy ourselves casually. This makes it three consecutive years. I will definitely participate again next time.

今まで2回、昼のクルーズに参加して楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズにトライしました。天気に恵まれ、サンセットは最高に綺麗でした。地上から見るのとは全然違う感動があります。参加者は今までは外国人ばかりでしたが、今回は日本人が多数でした。大人しめでしたが、写真を撮りあったり気楽に過ごせました。これで、3年連続。次も必ず参加します。

You will have your photo taken before boarding the ship after checking in. While it's not mandatory to purchase the photo when disembarking, it does add a bit of time to the boarding process. There were many foreign participants, but there were also some Japanese people. Even though we didn't communicate much verbally, it was enjoyable to share the same space and connect a little. The sunset viewed from the ship was a different experience compared to watching it from the beach, and it was truly moving. I would love to participate again next time.

受付を済ませて船に乗る前に写真を撮られます。下船時に強制ではありませんが買うシステム。そのため乗船に少し時間がかかりました。参加者は外国人の方が多いですが日本人もいました。言葉はあまり通じなくても同じ場所にいるだけで少しだけですがコミュニケーションがとれて楽しかったです。船から見る夕日はビーチから見るのとは一味違って感動しました。次回も参加したいです。
