All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

The Independence Day fireworks were beautiful, even though I didn't expect much since I was in a foreign country. They lasted a full 15 minutes and were really stunning. The final crew and staff dance performance felt a bit over the top, but it was fun.

独立記念日の花火，外国だからとあまり期待していませんでしたが，たっぷり15分間，すごくきれいでした。
最後のクルー，スタッフそろってのダンスパフォーマンスは少しやり過ぎかな？
でも楽しかったです。

Staff was efficient and courteous. The trip was well worth the time and money.

I never thought I would have the same experience after reading stories about others who had issues with their arrangements. However, when I arrived on the day of my cruise, I was told that my reservation had not been made. The staff only spoke English, and it was a situation where someone who struggles with English would likely give up.

Although I'm not very good at English, I had planned my travel schedule based on the cruise reservation, so I desperately negotiated. I had to change my plans, but I was able to switch to a cruise two days later. In the end, it turned out well, but it's really disappointing to have such issues in a place where communication is difficult. The cruise itself was pleasant, and I'm glad I had the experience.

ここで、手配ができていなかったという体験談を読んでいてまさか自分が同じ経験をするとは思っていなかったけど、当日時間通りに行くと、なんと予約がされていない、と言われてしまいました。相手は現地の英語しか話さないスタッフで英語が苦手な人はまずあきらめてしまう状況でした。
私は英語が得意ではないけれど、その日にクルーズの予約をしているうえでの旅行のスケジュールを立てていたので、必死で交渉しました。
予定を変えないといけなかったけど、なんとか２日後のクルーズに変更することができました。結果オーライだったからよかったけど言葉が満足に通じないところでこういうことは本当に残念です。クルーズ自体は気持ちよく、体験してよかったと思えました。

We had a great time, with a very attentive and fun crew, and the open bar was a real plus!

Wow oh wow! I took my beautiful family out on my husband and my favorite sunset cruise! The service, music, and overall experience were incredible! What a great way to start off our trip. We have used this company several times and highly recommend this to others!

Previously, I had an experience with Navatek's sunset cruise, and I didn't find it particularly special, so I hadn't planned to include a sunset cruise this time. However, I made a reservation because the price was low, it departed from Waikiki Beach, and it was my wife's first time in Hawaii.

The meeting point at the beach was just a few minutes from our hotel, which was convenient. Before 5:30 PM, I took off my sandals and boarded barefoot. I found a seat, and the crew started cheering as we set off. Occasionally splashed by the waves, we headed out while enjoying the view of the hotels lining the coastline, making our way past Diamond Head.

Along the way, we enjoyed drinks like Mai Tais and beer while feeling the wind all around us. The drinks were free and unlimited. I thought the Mai Tai might not have had alcohol in it because I didn't feel drunk at all, even after having several.

When the sails were raised and the engine was turned off, the only sounds were the waves cutting through the water and the wind. Standing on the side of the boat, I could see the passing scenery and feel the waves right at my feet, which was completely different from going on a large cruise ship and was truly enjoyable.

That day, there were many clouds, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. Perhaps because of that, we returned to the beach before sunset, which was a bit disappointing. We returned at 7 PM instead of the scheduled 7:30 PM. Since it was Friday, we stayed to watch the fireworks from Hilton, and it was nice that we secured a good spot, so an early return was actually beneficial.

The price was reasonable, and I would recommend it as long as the weather is good.

以前、ナバテックのサンセットクルーズの経験があり、そんなに特別な印象がなかったので今回当初の予定ではサンセットクルーズは入ってなかったのですが、料金が安いこと、ワイキキビーチから出ること、妻がハワイが初めてだったことで予約しました。
集合場所のビーチがホテルから数分だったので便利でした。
17時半前にサンダルを脱いで裸足で乗り込みました。適当に座り、船のクルーが雄たけびを上げ出発。
たまに波のしぶきを浴びながら沖に出て、海岸線に並ぶホテルを見ながらダイアモンドヘッドの更に先まで向かいます。
途中でマイタイやビールなどのドリンクを飲みながら風を全身に浴びて船は進みます。
ドリンクもフリーで飲み放題。マイタイはアルコールが入ってなかったんじゃないかと思うほど飲んでも全く酔わなかった。

帆を上げ、エンジンを切って風で進むと聞こえるのは波を切る音と風の音だけ。船のサイドに立ち、流れていく風景を見ながらすぐ足元に波を感じることができるのは大きなクルーズ船で行くのとは全く違い本当に気持ちが良い。

当日は雲が多く綺麗なサンセットは観れなかった。そのせいか日の入り前にビーチに戻ってしまった。そこが少し残念だった。予定の19時半ではなく19時だった。
金曜日だったのでヒルトンから上がる花火を見るために、そのまま宿泊していたリーフのビーチまで戻った。良い場所を確保できたので早目の帰港で良かったかな。

値段もリーズナブルだし、天気さえ良ければおススメです。

Had a blast! Booze cruise all the way! Travis was our crew guy and he was awesome. Captain Terry was cool calm and collective and chillen the entire trip. Take a wind breaker jacket cuz it gets kinda chilly. Two thumbs up

Beautiful cruise with great views. Fun crew and great atmosphere.

Highly recommend, nice for all ages. Great service from Veltra.

The views from the ocean were excellent and the people on the cruise as well as the staff were friendly and fun. The food was OK and the entertainment was good (I'm not a party person, so that is about the most that you will get out of me.) The most memorable thing was after dinner, when Dolphins were playing with the boat and putting on a show for us. The best view of the sunset was actually when we were docking at the harbor, at the very end of the cruise.

Really enjoyed this ride. We saved it for our last day in Hawaii. The water was beautiful. Plenty of room on the boat for maybe 30 people. I counted 23 but it didn't feel crowded at all. They serve drinks and play music.

Our sunset catamaran cruise was very nice. We were promptly greeted and seated on time, offered our choice of beverages and entertained by both passengers and crew. The cruise itself was calm and uneventful providing an ideal view of the coastline and the sunset. Travis (crew) bent over backwards to ensure all had a positive experience!

make sure u book on friday for the fire work show...........................................

This was my several times visiting Hawaii, and since there was a whale watching tour available, I signed up with high expectations.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and occasionally showing their tails in a location not far from Honolulu, but there were no jumps or anything like that; it felt more like they were swimming gracefully, which lacked a bit of excitement. So, I was a bit disappointed...

However, the weather was nice, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. Among the boats around us, the Star of Honolulu was the largest and most stylish!

Next time, I definitely want to see them jump and get my revenge!

何度目かのハワイで、ホエールウォッチングの設定がある時でしたので、期待して申込ました。
ホノルルからさほど離れていない場所で潮を吹くところや尾びれをちらっと見せたりと見ることは出来ましたが、ジャンプするとかは無く優雅に泳いでる感じで迫力に欠けたかなという事で、う～ん！少し残念・・・
でも、お天気も良く船酔いする心配もなく、周りにいた船のなかでは一番大きくてカッコイイスターオブホノルル号でした！
次回はぜひジャンプを身にリベンジしたいです。

We brought our daughter with us. The dinner cruise was really nice. At first we were worried as when we left the harbor it was really hot, no breeze and we were baking while awaiting the dinner service. About 45 minutes into the cruise the boat made a bit of a direction turn and the breeze made all the difference. The rest of the cruise was enjoyable; food was adequate and dinner service was good. People on the boat were friendly and accommodating. The music was good, but only "our generation" knew the songs. Our daughter was clueless on the genre. We headed out toward the north west at a slow pace. The Maui mountains were a beautiful backdrop. The sunset was a bit obscured by the low cloud cover but still amazing. Before passing Kaanapali beach we turned back and headed in. I wish we had toured further but all in all it was a good experience.

Good drinks!! Great hosts!! Would book again!!!!!!!

A pleasant late afternoon! Good crew and good company. Beautiful views!

During my trip to Hawaii during Golden Week, I made a reservation in advance from Japan to participate. I boarded the boat directly from the beach at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Since I was the last to board, there were no seats available, and I ended up sitting at the back of the boat, but it was the best spot. I was lucky to be in a place where I could stretch my legs and take in the view. I highly recommend this for anyone going to Hawaii. You will get wet when boarding, so it's a good idea to wear beach sandals. It gets cold after sunset, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt is advisable.

ゴールデンウィークにハワイに旅行した時に、事前に日本より予約して参加しました。
シェラトンワイキキホテルのビーチから直接船に乗り、素晴らしい景色を楽しみました
最後に乗ったので、席がなく船の後方に座ったのですが、それが最高　足をのばして
景色を見渡せる場所でラッキーでした
ハワイに行かれる方はぜひおすすめします　
乗るときに濡れますので、ビーチサンダルで参加するとよいです。日暮れから寒くなりますので長袖を持っていくとよいです

My husband and I had a super sensational time. We loved the water splashing on us and seeing the spectacular coastline was so amazing. My husband loved going under the waterfall and getting drenched so much fun and going in close to look inside a cave. Crew were exceptional as safety was their main goal and the food was delicious. Highly recommend it to anyone.

On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.

2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠～くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。

Highly recommend! I've been to Hawaii multiple times and this was my first time on this dinner cruise. The views of Waikiki from the boat are a must. The show was great and so was the food.

The crew was really cheerful and fun! I had a great time with the other passengers. The waves were high and we got soaked, but it was a memorable cruising experience.

クルーたちはほんとに陽気で楽しい！
周りの乗客とともに楽しいひと時を過ごしました。
波が高くてずぶぬれになりましたが、思い出に残るクルージングでした。

So Baffled how We wede crammed into this vessel. No enough seats. All of the patron made the best of it. Not entirely sure ic they ment to over book us or not.

The food was great, but the service was fantastic! Brina really made out night special! Thank you so much!

Our group shared a solemn gathering to bid a final farewell to a great man. The charter crew provided us the perfect attitude for the occasion. They were very professional and provided us with the utmost respect.
Lastly, the widow of the deceased is a Japanese woman that traveled all the way from Japan for the occasion. She has expressed her deepest gratitude for the service provided. I'm absolutely certain she will be forever grateful.
Thank you to Jake and Travis for their outstanding services.

The tour guide was awesome! I can't remember her name, but she pointed out a ton of cool sites (sights) and even knew how to hula dance! The food and drinks were delicious and it was a great experience! We even saw whales and spinner dolphins! Oh and LT Smooth was awesome too.

The most spectacular sunset I have seen. Sailing combined with a wonderful crew bringing drinks. Fantastic !

Had a great time! Would recommend to everyone! Show was way better than we expected! Dinner was great! Views were incredible!

We were in Hawaii for our 36th anniversary and the Navatek Dinner Cruise was a lovely and romantic way to spend the evening. We booked the window seating and the spectacular view was really worth it! The Lobster - Steak dinner was delicious. Our server prepared our lobster for us at the table which was a nice surprise. The beef was a bit well done for our taste however. Overall the dinner was very tasty. The show was enjoyable and fun, and the main singers were all really good! There were quite a few honeymoon and anniversary couples, and it was nice visiting with the other diners. Also, we very much enjoyed going out on deck to view the beautiful sunset and beach from the ship. We look forward to another dinner cruise next time we're there.

First of all, the inside of the ship is too cold. It's better to bring a jacket.
Also, everything on the ship is in English only.
I was able to see a whale in the distance, but it was much farther away than I had imagined, so I could only see it briefly and it looked small.
After that, there was nothing to do but wait to return, so I spent a lot of time just passing the time. There was too much free time, and it would have been nice if there were some events or activities.
I wouldn't really recommend it.

まず、船内が寒すぎ。羽織物を持参した方がよい。
また、船内は全て英語オンリーです。
遠くの方で鯨がみれましたが、想像していたのよりだいぶ離れているので小さくしかみえず一瞬でした。
後は帰るのみなので時間をかなり弄びました。フリー時間がありすぎるので何かイベント的なものがあればよいのに。。
あまりおすすめしません。
