All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We had a really nice time! I got soaked with Waikiki ocean water, which was very refreshing. Worth the ride!

Please participate thinking of it as an attraction rather than a cocktail cruise. Once we set sail, they serve Mai Tais, and there is an all-you-can-drink option, but the conditions make it hard to enjoy. We continue to pass through areas with high waves, causing the boat to rock, making it difficult to drink or take photos. The splashes from the waves are intense, so it's not a good situation for enjoying drinks or capturing pictures. Also, not wearing a swimsuit was a mistake, as I couldn't fully enjoy the splashes of water. I highly recommend participants come in swimsuits. If you think of it as an attraction in swimwear, you can have a great time, but if you’re looking for a relaxing experience as a couple, it could turn out to be quite challenging, so please be careful.

まずカクテルクルーズと思わずにアトラクションと思って参加してください。
出航したらマイタイを振る舞ってくれ、その後も飲み放題ですが、とても飲める状況にはありません。波の高いポイントを通り続けるので、船が揺れてそれどころではありません。また波の飛沫が激しいので、お酒も写真も撮れる状況にありません。また水着じゃなかったのが失敗で、水飛沫も満喫できませんでした。参加する人は是非水着で参加してください。
水着でのアトラクションと思えば非常に満喫できますが、夫婦でまったりと考えたら大変なことになるのでお気をつけてください。

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing...the most beautiful & picturesque sunset I have ever experienced in my life!
The buffet dinner was very nice, the fish was so fresh and just melted in your mouth, there were also pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, salad, veges and from memory Im sure there was rice. Unfortunately we did not experience the Hawaiian show nor the dessert (as the sunset captivated us for the time until the fireworks viewing!). My daughter (13 yrs old) and I thoroughly enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise.

The sunset was really beautiful, and it became a great memory. I got a little tipsy, so I could only drink one cocktail. If you're prone to getting drunk easily, it's definitely a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

夕陽がとってもきれいで、良い思い出になりました。ちょっと酔ってしまったのでカクテルが1杯しか飲めませんでした。酔いやすいかたは、やはり酔い止め必須かもです。

Guys were super friendly, the drinks were good and the view was awesome!!! It's worth the $

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I ended up acting at the last minute on the day of my visit, but I was able to easily find the place located between Halekulani and Sheraton. They serve all-you-can-drink cocktails that taste like pineapple, and you can also have beer and soft drinks like guava juice and cola. The pineapple cocktail, which was already salty, became extremely salty with the seawater added. I won't forget the beautiful view of the surfers up close and the rainbow that appeared!

ハワイが初めてで当日、ぎりぎりに行動してしまうことになってしまいましたがハレクラニとシェラトンの間のわかりやすい場所にありすぐに見つけることができました。
飲み放題でパイナップル味？のようなカクテルが配られますが、アルコールはビールやらソフトドリンクはグアバドリンクやコーラ等もいただけます。もとから塩辛いようなパイナップルカクテルが海水が入りすごくしょっぱかったです。本場のサーファーを近くでみられたのと虹がかかってすごくきれいだった景色は当分忘れられないかな！

What a great ride! Crew was great and music was awesome!! We had a blast!!

The cruise itself was pleasant, and we were able to see the sunset, but I have to make a candid comment: the price is a bit high. They say it's an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, but the alcohol seemed weak, and I hardly felt any buzz. There are other catamaran cruises available in Waikiki, so I don't think I'll be repeating this one.

クルーズ自体は、サンセットも見られましたし気持の良いものでしたが、あえて辛口のコメント。値段が、少々高いです。マイタイ飲み放題といいますが、アルコールが弱いようでほとんど酔いは感じませんでした。ワイキキには、他にもカタマランクルーズは出ているので、リピートはしないと思います。

The sunset sinking on the horizon is very beautiful and wonderful. The boat is small, so it sways a lot. However, the scenery was so lovely that I didn't get seasick. I did get splashed with water, but it dries quickly. The instructions before boarding were only in English, so I didn't understand them at all (^ ^ゞ But it wasn't a problem.

水平線に沈む夕日がとてもキレイで素晴らしいです。船は小さいのでよく揺れます。が、景色がキレイで酔いませんでした。水がかかります。スグに乾きますが。乗船前の注意事項は英語のみで、さっぱりわかりませんでした(^ ^ゞでも問題なかったです。

We participated as a couple. It was a nice day with good weather in the evening, so we were able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. It can be a bit chilly, so having a long-sleeve T-shirt is convenient. There are restrooms available, but I recommend using them before boarding if possible.

夫婦で参加しました。夕方の天気のいい日だったので、気持ちよくクルーズできました。少し肌寒い事もあるので長袖Tシャツあると便利です。後トイレはありますがなるべく済ませて乗る事をお勧めします。

I was late for the meeting time, but it was okay! I was the only Japanese person. In other tours, even if there was just one Japanese person, they would often reach out (of course in English) and show concern, but this time, there was absolutely no consideration, and I wasn't even asked if I wanted a drink refill. (Maybe they intentionally didn't ask since the other people were quite active.)

The other large group was having a great time at the front of the netting area (a wet spot where you could get splashed). However, it was quite cold, so I didn't have the luxury to join in. The sunset was beautiful, and there were turtles, making it an enjoyable cruise, but since I'm not very strong with alcohol (of course, there are soft drinks available), I felt it was just an ordinary cruise with one can of juice.

Well, it was average. The sunset looked more beautiful from Magic Island, and I can see turtles on other occasions as well. For those who love alcohol and can drink about ten cups, it seems like a great deal. I recommend it for those who understand English to some extent and want to have fun with a group on the boat.

集合時間に遅れましたが、大丈夫！と軽く受け入れてくれました。
日本人は私だけ。
他のツアーでは、日本人１人でも結構声をかけてくれたり、（もちろん英語です）
気にしてくれたり、でしたが、今回は全く何も気遣われず、飲み物のお替りも聞かれない感じ。
（他の人々が積極的だったので、敢えて他の人にも聞いてなかったのかも知れません）
他の大人数グループは先端の網のところ（水しぶきがかかったりする濡れる場所）で
大騒ぎしていて楽しそうでした。
が、結構寒く、そんな余裕はなし。
夕日は美しかったし、カメもいたりして楽しいクルーズでしたが、私はあまりアルコールに強くないので、（もちろんソフトドリンクもありますが）缶ジュース1本で、普通のクルーズって感じだったので、
まあ普通です。
サンセットもマジックアイランドから見たほうが美しかったですし、
カメも普通に他の機会にたくさん見れますし。
お酒大好きで、10杯くらい飲める、という人はおおいに元が取れる感じ。
英語がある程度分かって、グループで船に乗って騒ぎたい人にはおススメです。

The breeze was pleasant, and the sunset was wonderful. It was an open-style boat, with nothing obstructing the view, and I was very satisfied.

風も気持ち良くて、サンセットも素晴らしかった^ ^
おーぷんな感じの船で、遮るものがなく大満足でした。

I arrived in Hawaii without knowing that a hurricane was coming, and after a while of rain and clouds, I participated. One hurricane had already passed, but another was still offshore; despite this, the weather was clear and the conditions were perfect with no waves. The sunset was beautiful and it was the best. Besides our family of four, there were only four young women, and most participants were from Europe and America. The age range was diverse, and everyone was enjoying the sunset with a Mai Tai in hand. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハリケーンが来ているのを知らずにハワイに到着し、暫く雨だったり、曇ったりの後、参加しました。まだ、ハリケーンの１つは過ぎましたがまだもう一つ沖合いに残っていさるにもかかわらず、天気は快晴で、波もなく絶好のコンディションでした。夕日もきれいに見えて最高でした。日本人は私たち家族４人の他、若い女性のグループ４人だけで、ほとんどが欧米人。年齢層も様々で、みんなしみじみとマイタイ片手にサンセットを楽しんでいました。次回も絶対参加します！

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

I go to Hawaii every year and was aware of the boats anchored at the beach, but this was my first time participating in this cruise. I've been on regular dinner cruises before, and the food wasn't great, but I wanted my husband to enjoy his first time in Hawaii, and since I love cruises, I decided to join. It was definitely the right choice. The weather was perfect, and on the boat, there was an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, which I enjoyed since I love alcohol. There were also snacks provided. There were no Japanese people on board, just everyone from overseas. Everyone was very friendly, and we took pictures together while enjoying the sunset and even saw a rainbow. It was the best cruise. My husband said he really enjoyed it too, and since we could disembark in the evening, we were able to go for a delicious meal afterward, making the most of our time. It was fantastic.

ﾊﾜｲには毎年行っており、ﾋﾞｰﾁに留まっている船の存在は知っていましたが今回初めてこちらで申し込み参加しました。普通のディナークルーズは行ったことがありお料理も美味しくないしでも初めてのﾊﾜｲを夫に楽しんでほしいのと、ｸﾙｰｽﾞ大好きな私も楽しみたいとこちらに参加。参加して大正解。ちょうどお天気も絶好調の中、船の中でﾏｲﾀｲ飲み放題ｗお酒大好きなので何杯かいただきました。おつまみのｽﾅｯｸ付。乗船しているのは日本人はいなくみんな海外の方でした＾＾　とっても気さくでみんなで写真撮りあったりして、ｻﾝｾｯﾄも虹も一緒に見ることができ最高のｸﾙｰｽﾞでした。夫もほんとに楽しかったといっており、夕方に船を下りれるのでｸﾙｰｽﾞ後においしいお食事にも行けて時間も有効活用。最高えでした。

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!!

フラ仲間5名で参加しました。
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
、音楽の選択もハイテンションへ。
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!
