All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I participated in the 3 PM session. Like everyone else's experiences, we were the only Japanese people, and everything was conducted in English. It seemed that there were many acquaintances of the crew, possibly due to the low number of customers.

Because of that, the splashing service was intense, and we ended up completely soaked. My husband's beer apparently didn't taste like seawater.

I didn't drink, but being soaked and drinking would make me want to go to the bathroom, so it seemed tough for my husband.

The experience was thrilling, a bit chaotic, and had a foreign vibe that was interesting. I would like to ride again.

15時の回に参加しました。　皆様の体験談　同様　私達の時も日本人は私達だけで　
全て　英語で話しが進み　お客さんが少ないのか　船員さんのお知り合いが　沢山いらっしゃったようです。　　

そのせいか　水しぶきサービスが　半端なく　全身びじょびじょで　主人の持っていた
ビールは　海水の味しなかったらしいです。

わたしは　飲みませんでしたが　びしょ濡れで飲むとトイレに行きたくなるので　主人は　大変そうでした。

体験は　スリルもあり　なーなーさもあり　外国っぽくて面白かったです。
また　乗ってみたいです。

Absolutely loved the dinner cruise. It was the height of our vacation! The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was Delicious and the entertainment was superb!! From beginning to end-FABULOUS!!

It was truly refreshing once we set sail from the beach! We went as far as we could see the views of Hawaii Kai and then turned back. As we headed west, the sun began to set, and we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset. It was the perfect moment while sipping on a Mai Tai. I would love to participate again.

浜から沖へ出て、セイリングが始まってからは、爽快そのものでした！ハワイカイの景色が見えるあたりまで行って引き返し、西に向かった頃から太陽が沈み始め最高の夕陽も鑑賞できました。マイタイを傾けながらの最高のひと時でした。また参加したいと思っています。

You can enjoy a luxurious time on the boat that you can't experience in Japan. This was my second time using the service, and no matter how many times I go, watching the sunset slowly while enjoying music, the breeze, and drinks on the boat is the best experience. There are many guests, and at first, you sit in a designated spot, but once you're out at sea, you can move around freely. Please make sure to experience that moment at least once.

とにかく日本では味わえない優雅な時間を船の上で過ごせます。
今回2回目の利用でしたが、何度行っても船上での音楽、風、お酒がある中でゆっくりと夕日が沈んでいくのを眺めるのは最高の時間です。
たくさんの利用客がおられ、最初は決まったところに座りますが沖へでれば自由に移動できます。
是非一度あの瞬間を味わってください。

My first time in Hawaii!! Sailing is a must!
I chose the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran from various options.
The sea breeze cutting through the wind felt amazing, and I was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat.
Seeing turtles and dolphins up close was truly moving! (^^)!

I also love the photos taken before boarding! They make a great memory.

I even recommended it to complete strangers! (^^)!
If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate!

初めてのハワイ！！セーリングは外せない！
いろんなオプションの中から選んだワイキキリガー・カタマラン号
風を切って走る海風はとても気持ちよく
船上から見えるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色にも大満足ですが
まじかで見るカメやイルカには感動しました!(^^)!

乗船前に撮ってもらった写真も気に入ってます！！いい記念になります。

全く知らない人にも勧めてしまいました!(^^)!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対参加します！

We had Lots of fun. The Crew of two worked well together and was very friendly and kept the Mai Tai's coming. I loved the choice of music as we sailed. This is a must do !!

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.

あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

This was an amazing sunset dinner cruise for my girlfriend and I. We had attended this cruise as a birthday gift to her, and it felt like we were on a honeymoon. This cruise is meant for couples because it is amazingly breathtaking with the view of Diamond Head crater, the deep blue ocean, and the beautiful shores of Waikiki. Then to top it all off with a sunset upon our west coast beaches.

I wanted to see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, so I joined a catamaran tour. The sailing lasted an hour and a half, and we went quite far out. The sea changed from emerald green to deep blue... Since I joined at 3:00, there were few people, and I sat in a netted area, but when the waves came, I got soaked. Our family was the only Japanese group, and although we couldn't speak English, we somehow felt like we made friends by just saying "wow" and "yay." My face and hair got all salty and messy from the seawater and sea breeze, but it was a lot of fun. (However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a bit tough.)

ワイキキのホテル群を海から見たい、カタマランに乗りたいと思って参加しました。　１時間半のセイリングなので、だいぶ沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました。　海はエメラルドグリーンから紺碧の色に…　　３：００からの参加だったからか、人数が少なく、網の状態の場所に座りましたが、波が来ると、ビショビショになります。　日本人は我々家族だけで、英語は話せませんが「ワーキャー」言っていると何となくお友達になれたような気分になりました。　海水と潮風で、顔も髪の毛もバリバリ（？）になりましたが、とても楽しかったです。　（ただし、乗り物に弱い方はちょっとつらいかもしれません。）

The cruise was very enjoyable for me and my wife. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun. Being on a ship in itself was exciting. The meal was well prepared and delicious. The staff were entertaining yet very professional. Many of my friends has take this cruise and I would recommend it for anyone.

We enjoyed the cruise and the beautiful view provided on the cruise
The food and drinks were very good
Service was excellent
Entertainment was very good and the entertainers were very enthusiastic and got the attendees involved in the show

We really enjoyed the sunset sail! It was beautiful and the staff was great!

I loved it! As a native to this island, the sight of the island from the ocean while the sunset was still able to take my breath away! If you can afford it, please buy the Sunset Royal Dinner with the Window Seating! If you're going to celebrate an anniversary like I did, it's extremely worth it! If you're a tourist, you will enjoy the local songs that they play and the events they set up.

As for the food, it was amazing. Make sure you perhaps call in advanced if you're going to substitute something on the menu!! They didn't have my grilled chicken. Instead, they gave terayaki chicken and were very apologetic!

If you want to take a picture in the front of the boat with the sunset, make sure you go at least 10 minutes early or else you won't be able to get a spot to take picture! It will be crowded!

DOWNSIDE:
THE WAITER SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE! IF YOU LIKE HAVING A NICE SOFT DRINK BEVERAGE, DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO FILL THEM IMMEDIATELY. SOMETIMES THEY WILL IGNORE YOU TOO.

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ～って感じでした。

We participated with a total of seven people. I wouldn't recommend it for those who get seasick, but for those who are okay with it, I definitely encourage you to join. The staff were very kind (they only speak English). Above all, the scenery is beautiful. It's only a few hours, so it's a fantastic experience that won't interfere with other schedules. I absolutely recommend it!!

総勢7名で参加しました。船酔いする方にはお勧めしませんが、OKな方には是非参加してほしいです。スタッフの方々もとっても親切（英語しか話せないスタッフですよー）。なんと言っても、景色がキレイ。ほんの数時間なので、他のスケジュールの邪魔にならないサイコーの体験です。ぜったいお勧め！！

It was very pleasant.
Since it was a catamaran, the sea water was right in front of us, and the sunset was amazing.

There were about 30 participants, with around 7 Japanese people.
There was also an elderly person (probably of American descent) who was using a cane.
Be careful as you have to climb a few steps up a steep ladder.
The instructions were only in English, but it was manageable even if you didn't understand everything.

During the sailing, it felt really nice.
I was sitting in the front row, but here the sea water splashed up from below,
and my T-shirt got completely soaked from the spray.
It's best to wear clothes over your swimsuit.
(The front half of the yacht has a net at the feet.)

Even in summer, it was cold when splashed with water.
A windbreaker or something similar is necessary.

とても気持良かったです。
カタマランなので、海の水が目の前にあり、最高のサンセットでした。

参加していたのは、３０人位で、日本人は7人位ですね。
杖をついている年配の（多分米国系）の方も参加されていました。
急な、梯子を数段上るので、注意です。
説明は、英語のみでしたが、判らなくても何とかなりました。

セイリング中は、とても気持よかったです。
最前列の座っていましたが、ここは下から海の水がかかり、
スプレーでティーシャツがビショビショになりました。
水着の上に服を着ているのが、正解です。
（ヨットの前半分の足元はネットになっています）

夏でも、水をかぶると寒いくらいでした。
ウィンドブレーカー等が必要ですね。

Your Cruise was the highlight of our trip. We had Nao as our waiter and he was great. He was so accommodating and everyone had such a great time. We were in and out of the dinning area taking pictures of the Sunset and later the Friday night fireworks. We had a great time, but in all the nights excitement we forgot one of our camera cases on board. The next day we received a call and asked if we had lost our camera case. We were already on the Big Island and could not physically get the case. Leslie told us not to worry, that she would have it sent to our place in Los Angeles. When I asked her if she needed my Credit Card to pay for the shipping, she said they would be glad to send it to us. Born and raised in Oahu, this made me proud of the Ohana and spirit of Aloha that was shared with us. We will never forget the feeling of Ohana and look forward to Sailing with you when we visit again. Oh, and the food was wonderful. See you soon. Mahalo

This was a wonderful experience. The driver Larry is amiable and knowledgable who provided all the information needed for the trip and he gave detailed description about the areas along the road. Crews on the boat are professional and helpful. They did an excelent job in making it an enjoyable trip on the sea. Watching the golden sun vanishing into the ocean, eventhough we did not make encounter with the dolphinss, yet it was an unforgetable pleasant experience.

Well there are no seats and you have to climb to get in and sit on floor, then they sail and you can move around. We thought there would be seats, but this only had benches. You have to be fit. We thought we could take my grandson, when we got there he couldn't possibly go. Also it's the Outrigger II, not the Outrigger. We showed up at Outrigger and were told it's a 10 minute walk. We are very unhappy. We bought 8 tix and 3 people didn't go and 2 who went got sea sick. There should be warnings as to what you are getting into.

I had a really good time on the Waikiki Rigger. Great staff, great drinks, fun folks onboard the boat, nice music! It was a little cloudy out at times and rained on us for a bit, but just looking at the city while in the water, the beautiful shots of Diamond Head Cater, other boats passing us make for a truly fun evening. I had a great time and something again that didn't tie up your whole evening. I hope do this again in a heartbeat!

You might have to wait a bit from the meeting time until departure, but it feels like a good timing adjustment to see the sunset! There isn't anything particularly special about it, but enjoying the view of Waikiki from the catamaran and having a drink on board (of course, I'll have a refill) is fun.

集合時間から出発まではちょっと待たされるけど、いいタイミングでサンセットが見られる時間調整って感じ！特にこれと言った特徴があるわけではないけど、カタマランで海側から見るワイキキの街並みや船上での一杯（もちろんおかわりしますが）が楽しいです。

Great trip through the bay at Waikiki! The people make or break your experience, but everyone is there to have a great time, and you do, especially with the great musical accompaniment. Be sure to bring some extra cash for the picture at embarkment, and the special glass for your rum drink. Wonderful experience!!!

I was worried about seasickness, but it wasn't a big deal and the boat was comfortable. The food was tastier than I expected. I was lucky to see whales multiple times and was able to take great photos. The onboard cultural programs were diverse, and I enjoyed participating in activities like lei making and hula dance lessons.

船酔い心配しましたが、たいしたこともなく快適な船でした。食事は思ってたよりおいしかったです。クジラ、ラッキーにも何度も見れ、写真もしっかりとれました。船内のカルチャープログラムも多彩でレイ作り、フラダンス講習など楽しんで参加できました。

We had a blast!, great food, all you can eat crab legs. great service and great show! If you're still deciding what dinner cruise you should take, here's your answer! You can't go wrong! My suggestion take this event as your grand finale of your vacation, probably on the last day of your trip. Thanks so much hawaiian activities, they added Hanauma Bay trip as a extra bonus at no cost( but you need to pay for the entrance fee)which you can not missed! My family and I had a wonderful time.

It's surprisingly small yacht. There were moments when it swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Basically, there don't seem to be many Japanese people on board. This time, it was just my husband and me. But since we came all the way overseas, it was a refreshing experience to escape the Japanese crowd in Waikiki. The sunset was amazing. And there's an all-you-can-drink option!

意外に小さいヨットです。波でけっこう揺れる場面もありましたが、これもみんなとっても受けてました。基本的に日本人はあまりいないようです。今回も私と夫だけでした。でもせっかく海外に来たのだから、日本人ばかりのワイキキを抜け出して新鮮体験でしたよ。サンセットは最高でした。そして飲み放題です！

would do this again in a hart beat! It is one in a life time experience the no words that can describe

My wife and I participated together. We enjoyed welcome drinks and appetizers on the top deck, and after taking a commemorative photo with the captain, we were guided to our seats. The staff was very polite and accommodating in Japanese, and the course meal was excellent. When we went out to the deck during sunset and fireworks, the staff kindly took photos for us. I think this was the best optional tour we've participated in during our time in Hawaii. I highly recommend it to everyone!

妻と二人で参加しました。最上階のデッキでウェルカムドリンクにアペタイザーをいただき、キャプテンとの記念写真撮影の後席に誘導されます。担当の方は日本語で丁寧に対応していただき、コース料理も最高でした。サンセット＆花火の時間にデッキに出ると、スタッフが快く写真を撮っていただきました。今まで参加したハワイのオプショナルツアーの中では最高だと思いました。皆さまも是非

Awesome cruise. Great dinner. Amazing fireworks. Definitely worth booking for July 4th

The daytime yacht experience was so enjoyable that this time I participated in a sunset cruise. Although there were many clouds and the sunset was disappointing, it was a quiet cruise without the liveliness mentioned in other reviews. Well, that was fine in its own way, but I still had more fun during the daytime when I wore my swimsuit and got splashed by the waves.

日中のヨットがあまりに楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
雲が多くてサンセットは残念でしたが、他の方の口コミのようなにぎやかさはなく、静かなクルーズでした。まぁ、それはそれで良かったけど、やっぱり水着を着て、たくさん波を浴びた日中の方が楽しかったです。

This is a very fun time for a fair price. The catamaran is basic (i.e. no cabin or bathrooms) but it's a great sail with a crew that seems to love their jobs. The mai tais are good and plentiful, and it was great to see the sunset from the water. The sail goes out early enough that you get back in time to go to dinner, and you're in a wonderful mood when you return. I'd definitely recommend this cruise to people who want a fun time seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from a new perspective.
