All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Very fun. Dinner was amazing. Show was amazing, crew was amazing. Very fun and I will do this again when I come back to Oahu.

This tour was amazing, the guys on the ship were very chill and the views were incredible. I would go again if im in the area and to be able to drink on the boat was a great and fun idea. Its a must try for anyone!

The cruise was wonderful the food and drinks were fantastic.

I participated with five friends from my hula group. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations because the price was on the lower side, but it turned out to be an experience that exceeded my expectations. Although I've visited Hawaii many times, I've never seen such a beautiful sunset before. We were all deeply moved! The sunset, of course, along with the ocean, sky, wind, waves, and the view of Waikiki, plus the all-you-can-drink Mai Tais! Each element was simply amazing! There's no doubt this will become a repeat optional activity for our next visit!!

正直、値段が安めなので期待はしていませんでしたが、期待値以上の体験になりました。
ハワイは既に何度も訪れているものの、こんなに素敵なサンセットを見ることができたことはありませんでした。全員で、感動しきり！サンセットはもちろん、海・空・風・波・ワイキキの景色、そして、飲み放題のマイタイ！どれも感激！の一言でした。次回からリピートするオプショナルになることは間違いありません！！

This was a lot of fun. Captain Steve filled us in as to what to expect and Chris was a great bartender and sailing mate. We went out just past Diamond Head and had a beautiful view of everything. The other cruisers were laid back and the conversation was a lot of fun. You must do this at least once.

A fabulous experience with such a friendly crew, no one was left unattended. The sunset was particularly beautiful including the cloud colouring over the volcanoes. A lovely adventure worth every penny,i would recommend it to anyone!

Had a FABULOUS TIME!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise!! The crew was energetic and courteous!! Would highly recommend and definitely return!!!!

I told friend of mine that I was going to be in Kona with my family and he highly recommended that I take Captain cooks dinner cruise. He couldn't remember the actual name of the dinner cruise but with this info I googled it and found it. I was skeptical at first about going on the three hour cruise because we were a huge party of 12 women, children and one man (me), but let me tell you, it was the funnest event of our entire 10 days in Kona. For the most part people seem to be nice and easy-going on the Big Island, but the entire crew of the boat - from the "captain" to the bartender - where the coolest, nicest, and funniest people we met on our entire trip to the Big Island. They really bend over backwards to make you feel at home and they definitely keep you entertained with an interesting historical overview of the Hawaiian Islands given by a Hawaiian storyteller, as well as by a great musical performance given by a talented and recognized young music artist. I highly recommend this dinner cruise for anybody wishing to have a great time in Kona!

Overall, I had a great time. From the sunshine to the sunset, feeling the sea breeze while swaying with the big waves, the choice of music was also high-energy. The snacks and drinks served were delicious. The crew members were kind as well. My 4-year-old daughter was also in a good mood.

総合的に、
とっても楽しめました。
太陽の陽射しから夕陽、
大きな波に揺られながら感じる海風

軽食にドリンクの振る舞いも美味しかった。
クルーの方々も親切です。
4歳の娘もご機嫌でした。

I could only see the whale's fins and tail, but the deep blue, beautiful sea was stunning! Also, there were so many people that when the whale appeared, everyone crowded to that side, so I couldn't take many photos of the whale!

クジラは手や尾しか見れなかったのですが、真っ青で綺麗な海がとてもきれいでした！
また、人数がとても多くてクジラが現れるとそっち側に皆が寄るのでクジラの写真はあまり撮れなかったです！

I was able to see the whales! However, they were too far away, just barely... I was hoping for splashes like in the photos, so I was a bit disappointed.

くじらは見れました！
しかし、遠すぎて、かろうじて・・・でした。
写真のような波しぶきを期待しちゃったので、
ちょっと残念でした。

Great experience, better then expected. Would recommend it to family and friends.

My husband and I booked this dinner cruise as a way to celebrate our anniversary while in Hawaii. The food was delicious and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunset the night we went. I would recommend this to other couples. There were great views of the island while relaxing on the water.

The strong winds led to a cancellation on the day of the event. It was rescheduled for another day, but due to my travel schedule, I couldn't make the sunset cruise and had to switch to a night cruise where I could see the fireworks. The night view was very beautiful, but if I have the chance, I would like to participate in the sunset cruise next time. Since cancellations can happen suddenly due to weather, I think it's better to plan for the first half of the trip when adjustments to the schedule are easier.

当日は風が強くキャンセルになってしまいました。
別の日に振り替えとなりましたが、旅のスケジュールの関係でサンセットクルーズが無理となり、花火が見れるナイトクルーズへ変更となりました。
夜はとてもきれいでしたが、機会があれば次回はサンセットクルーズに参加してみたいです。
天候で当日急にキャンセルになることもあるので、スケジュールの調整がしやすい旅の前半にしたほうがいいと思いました。

First off, the employees at VELTRA went out of their way to ensure our booking was confirmed and they even delivered a confirmation page for our sunset cruise directly to our hotel. Absolutely fabulous service all around !
When we arrived at the beach at the required check in time, friendly staff welcomed us as we waited to board.
Once onboard, the crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing time! Even though this is listed as a " Cocktail Sail " , it was also a very family friendly atmosphere for our teenage Daughter as well, she had a most enjoyable time and not to worry, they have a variety of free non- alcoholic beverages available onboard too. They offer a photo option of your family / group prior to boarding which we normally would not buy but the background and picture quality came out so incredible and was worth the 15 dollar fee ,they have the print in a cardboard folder waiting for you upon your return to shore if you decide to purchase it.
This sunset cruise was a superb value for the low price , from the amazing Crew, to the smooth and safe sailing , and the fun music and relaxing atmosphere , it was a great way to meet so many other nice people on our Hawaiian Vacation! This was one of our top experiences on Oahu.
Simply put, we cannot wait to do it again on our next visit to Waikiki!

This was one of our favorite excursions. My husband, kids, brother and niece were very glad I booked this. The scenery was wonderful, the sunset was gorgeous, and the two crew members were so much fun. My kids are 26,24,and 21, and they still had to get pictures behind the wheel of the boat. I would recommend this even if you do not want to drink the unlimited maitia's! We sailed around Diamond-head Crater and saw the lighthouse which was really cool.

Every time I visit Hawaii, I always ride without fail!! If you come to Waikiki, you must ride it! Being a little tipsy on the ocean... it's the best. You can see a different view of Hawaii from Waikiki Beach.

Hawaiiに訪れる度に毎回必ずのります !!
ワイキキに来たら乗るべしッ
海の上でほろ酔い・・・最高です。
ワイキキビーチから見るHawaiiとはまた違った風景が見れますよ

My childern, ages 16 and 21, and I had the best time on the Sunset Cruise! It was one the top highlights of our vacation in Hawaii! The crew members were awesome! They took care of all of our needs. They took many pictures of me and my children and a couple of "selfies"! They were so much fun!! Everyone on the cruise seemed to be having a blast! The even caught a huge mahi mahi while fishing! We saw a beautiful rainbow and a little of another one to make a double rainbow! We had so much fun, we didn't want it to end! Thanks for a fantastic time!!

we had the best time , everything was great and the night was perfect we would highly recommend this adventure

This was my first time on a catamaran, and it was the most enjoyable and memorable time of my trip to Hawaii. I haven't laughed and had so much fun in a long time, and it felt refreshing. I participated with a bit of worry about experiences like getting splashed by waves, dropping my camera, or feeling seasick, but once I got on board, there were no problems at all. If anyone is hesitant, seeing is believing. Definitely give it a try!

The view of the Waikiki skyline from the sea, the full panorama of Diamond Head, and the sunset unobstructed by anything were truly amazing. It was such a happy experience to enjoy those wonderful sights with a Mai Tai in hand. I will definitely participate again next time! (But I think I’ll avoid wearing jeans or clothes that take a long time to dry, as there are times when you really do get splashed! (laughs))

初めてのカタマランでしたが今回のハワイ旅行の中で一番楽しく印象に残る時間でした。
こんなに大声で笑ったり、騒いだりするのは久しぶりでスカッとしました。
波がザブンと来て濡れるとか、カメラを落としたとか、船酔いした等の体験談に少し心配しながらの参加でしたが乗ってしまえば全く問題なしです。もし、迷っていらっしゃる方がおられるなら百聞は一見にしかず。是非チャレンジしてみてください！！
海から見るワイキキのビル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの全景、何にも邪魔されず見られる夕陽。
そんな素晴らしい景色をマイタイ片手に見られるなんて本当に幸せな経験でした。
又、次も絶対に参加しま～す。
（でも本当に波を被る時があるのでジーンズや乾きにくい服は避けようと思います（笑））

I surprised my husband Curt, with the Deluxe Sunset Cocktail Sail from Kaanapali Beach. We had an awesome time. I would recommend it to anyone, the views were spectular. The staff was very accommodating, fun, knowledgable. We will do this again, next summer.

Most relaxing sail into a magnificent sunset. Surrounded by other vessels in the bay, we had perfect seat for the fireworks. With a slight glow in the sky, and a breeze rustling through our hair the sail was the perfect Friday night date. The specialty drink in the shaker is SO good and even big enough to share! Now I have a special cute little momento of that Serene night holding my one and only's hand while we sail on the darkening sea. Would absolutely do again.

It was cloudy, and there was a bit of rain, but as we set off, a rainbow appeared, and thanks to the cheerful captain and staff, it turned out to be a fun cruising experience!

くもりで、雨もぱらついてましたが、出発と、同時に虹も出て陽気なキャプテンとスタッフの方のおかげで楽しいクルージングとなりました！

It was an incredibly fun time for just $39.

As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht accelerated further, the passengers, feeling a bit tipsy from the splashes of water, were at their peak excitement, cheering and laughing. Regardless of nationality or group, everyone was joyfully acting like children.

By the time we returned to the original beach, the sunset was coloring the western sky, and I couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful memories of my trip to Hawaii.

たった39＄という設定が信じられないくらい楽しいひと時でした。

ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎてヨットがさらに加速すると、上がる波しぶきを浴びてほろ酔い気分の乗客もキャーキャーと最高潮。国籍もグループも関係なくみんな子供のようにはしゃいでいました。

もとのビーチに帰る頃には夕陽が西の空を染めて、思わずしんみりと楽しかったハワイ旅行を思い返していました。

It was so much fun. As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht picked up speed, the passengers, slightly tipsy from Mai Tais, splashed water and squealed with delight, laughing together beyond groups and nationalities—truly a scene fitting for a heavenly island.

By the time we returned to the beach, the sun was painting the western sky, and I reflected on the enjoyable trip to Hawaii. I think the emotions will be even more profound if I board on the last day.

とにかく楽しいです。ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎヨットも速度を増すと、マイタイでほろ酔い気分の乗客が水しぶきを浴びてキャーキャーと騒ぎ、グループや国籍を超えてみんなで笑う姿はまさに天国の島にふさわしい光景でした。

ビーチに戻る頃には太陽が西の空を染め、楽しかったハワイ旅行が思い返されます。最終日に乗れば、旅情もひとしおかと思います。

I highly recommend this tour for those who are proficient in English or currently studying it! It was the tour where I felt the most like I was abroad, with mostly Westerners participating. It was delightful to enjoy the beautiful sunset with people from around the world. The music playing added to the charm! I found myself enjoying the tunes of Michael Jackson and the Beach Boys, and I ended up drinking a bit too much and getting a little tipsy. Haha!

英語が堪能な方や、勉強中の方に特におすすめ！欧米人がほとんどのツアーで、海外に来た感が一番感じられたツアーでした。美しいサンセットを、世界の方々と堪能できて心地よかったです。音楽がかかっていることも魅力！Michael Jacksonや、Beachboys、気持ちよくてついつい飲みすぎて酔いすぎました。笑

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was amazing! There was probably just one other group of Japanese people with us. We kept getting refills on our drinks too.

海からみるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、最高でした！　日本人は私たちとあと一組だったかな？　飲み物もどんどんおかわりしていましたよ。

We had a good time nice fun ride would do it again next visit and recommend it to friends as well. Thank you

I highly recommend this cruise. The food and wait staff were top notch. Beautiful view of the island and sunset. Very worth the cost. The Mai Tai was so good I ordered a second one and that is not my drink of choice. lol

This was my second time participating. Since it was the longest day of the year, we made several trips back and forth off the coast of Waikiki while waiting for the sunset. Thank you to the best crew! It was even more enjoyable than the last time. This is an essential event for a trip to Hawaii.

今回２回目の参加でした。一年で一番日の長い時期のため、サンセットを待ってワイキキ沖を何往復もしてくれました。最高のクルーに感謝！前回以上に楽しい時間となりました。ハワイ旅行に欠かせないイベントとです。
