All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

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.

A little while ago, at the end of 2011, I participated in an event where we could see fireworks from a boat.

We set sail around dusk, and there were about 20 people, I think? I had heard it was an English tour, but it was quite accommodating for Japanese speakers, so it wasn't a problem if you couldn't speak much.

The meal was served buffet-style. There were a decent variety of dishes, and I thought the food itself was tasty. I believe drinks were included for the first two.

The fireworks lasted about 15 minutes. If you imagine a Japanese fireworks festival, it might feel a bit lacking.

However, if you focus on the value of seeing fireworks from a boat, I don't think it's bad at all.

Personally, I felt my level of satisfaction was just okay.

少々前ですが、2011年末、船上から花火が見れるということで参加しました。

夕暮れ時に出向し、約20人くらいだったでしょうか？
英語ツアーと聞いていましたが、日本人慣れしており、喋れなくてもほぼ問題ありません。

お食事はブッフェ形式。
種類はそこそこあってお食事自体は美味しかったと思います。
ドリンクは確か2ドリンクまでは料金込みでした。

花火は15分ほどだったと。
日本の花火大会を想像してしまうと、やっぱり物足りなさはありましたが。

船上から花火を見えるという価値を重視すれば、すごくわるいわけではないと思います。

個人的には満足度はそこそこかなーと思いました。

I had a great time.
However, I think it could have had a bit more speed and thrill.
My elderly mother seemed to be expecting more excitement than I was.

気持ちよく楽しめました。
でも、もう少しスピード・スリルがあっても良かったかなと思います。
高齢の母は私よりスリルを期待していたようです。

I enjoyed the cruise dinner very much. Beautiful meal with a beautiful transportation to take in the view of the beautiful island.

It was a blast. Capt Mike made it fun, fast and exciting. We had a great time sitting on the net area while the catamaran screamed across the swell.

It was beyond what I expected. Nice entertainment for the whole family. The food was very delicious. The host where very friendly

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

THIS WAS A FUN THING TO DO, IN FACT WE WENT BACK FOR A SECOND TOUR! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. lOVE THE MUSIC THEY PLAY!

I had such a great time riding on a catamaran yacht in the past that this time I joined the sunset cruise. Unfortunately, there were a lot of clouds in the mornings and evenings all week, so we could only catch a glimpse of the sunset through the clouds. Even though it was an all-you-can-drink option, one Mai Tai was enough for us. I brought some snacks as mentioned in the reviews, but unlike what others had said, there wasn't any cheerful dancing that started... it was a very quiet cruise. The yacht was pleasant, but even though check-in was at 5 PM, it actually started after 5:30 PM, which felt like a waste of time.

昔日中のカタマランヨットに乗って、あまりにも楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。この週はずっと朝晩雲が多く、夕日の雲の合間からちらっとしか見えない状態でしたので残念でした。飲み放題とはいえ、私たちはマイタイ１杯で充分。口コミにあったので、おつまみも少し持って行きましたが、他の口コミにあったような陽気なダンスが始ったり…はなく、とても静かなクルーズでした。ヨットは気持ち良かったですが、５時チェックインとあるのに、実際始ったのが５時半過ぎで、時間がもったいなかったかな。

The weather was nice, and it was a comfortable cruising experience. However, the commentary was only in English, so I didn't understand it well. I think it would have been more enjoyable with explanations in Japanese.

天候もよく快適なクルージングでした。ただ、解説が英語のみでしたのでよくわかりませんでした。日本語の説明があればもっと楽しかったと思います。

Highly recommended. Very comfortable ride. Friendly crews. Sun set was unforgettable. Recommend to bring a wind breaker. It can gets quite cold on the way back.

I participated with a friend. Riding on the Mai Tai and drinking Mai Tais!
Be careful not to drink too much; you'll want to go to the bathroom.
The scenery from the sea is beautiful and refreshing, different from what I usually see. Since there are few Japanese participants, you can really enjoy the overseas atmosphere.
The sunset was also beautiful, so I was very satisfied. I will participate again next time!

友達と参加しました。マイタイ号に乗って、マイタイを飲む！
飲みすぎ注意です。トイレに行きたくなります。
普段見ている風景とは違い、海からの景色もきれいで、水しぶきも気持ちいい！日本人の参加が少ないので、海外気分が味わえます。
夕焼けもきれいに見えたので大満足です。次回も参加します！

This was my second time, and I had a great time! The lively music is enjoyable for everyone, from the elderly to children, and the pleasant breeze, champagne, wine, and cocktails are all you can drink. Bringing snacks really boosts the mood! Being on the net is amazing; it feels like gliding over the ocean. The sunset was beautiful, and I saw couples kissing. There are restrooms available, so don't hesitate to use them; it will create good memories. Just be careful not to sit on the toilet lid—my friend's husband got stuck! Overall, I highly recommend this cruising experience.

今回で2度目でした　とにかく楽しめますお年寄りから子供までのりの良い音楽に気持ち良い風　シャンパン　ワイン　カクテル　すべて飲み放題つまみなんか持参でテンションあがりまくりです　ネットの上は最高です　まるで海の上をすべっているかのようサンセットもとてもきれいでカップルがキスしてましたよ　トイレもあります　我慢するよりまずは使用してみてください良い思い出になりますよ　ただしトイレのふたに座られないよう気お付けてください
友人の旦那様は座られてとじこめられました　とにかくこのクルージングはお勧めです

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

This was the second time I went on this cruise... Love the atmosphere and the crew is supper friendly. The Reggae music and fireworks were the best but the Mai Tai drinks are definitely the best I've had!!! Overall I totally loved it and will do it a third and fourth time!!!

The crew did a wonderful job. Travis was especially good at keeping all the guests adequately hydrated.

In the evening of the day, it started to rain, and I was worried about whether we could set sail. About 20 people were waiting on the sandy beach, with 7 to 8 of them being Japanese. When the rain lightened, boarding began. Looking up at the boat, I started to worry that there wouldn't be enough seats, and when I asked a staff member, she said "On the net," and I couldn't help but respond, "Huh?"

When I got on, all the guests were seated on a net stretched over the hull of the boat. Below was the sea, and we set sail just like that. It was a sturdy net, with no walls or roof, making it feel very wild. The sea breeze blew through, and it felt amazing. The waves weren't too big that day, and the rocking of the boat was comfortable, much less than I had worried about.

As we moved out, we could see the hotels of Waikiki, and when a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head (and it was a double rainbow), everyone cheered. There were unlimited drinks available, and you could choose from alcoholic options (cocktails, wine, whiskey) or non-alcoholic ones.

After a while, the catamaran slowed down as we waited for the sunset. By this time, everyone started to relax while enjoying their drinks. Listening to rock music, especially the cheerful Westerners began to dance, and there were couples taking lots of photos.

I had previously participated in a sunset dinner cruise on a large boat, but I remember being too busy with the meal to enjoy the sunset leisurely. In comparison, the catamaran felt much more open, giving a sense of unity with the sky and sea.

Isn't it perfect for those who want to calmly gaze at the ocean? In the end, we rode the waves while basking in the sunset, and the sensation was wonderful, almost like being on a surfboard, and before I knew it, we were back at the beach. It became an unforgettable and wonderful memory of Hawaii.

当日は夕方から雨が降り出し出航出来るか不安になりました。
砂浜に待つのは20人位、日本人は7〜8人でした
小雨になった頃乗船が始まりました。
船を見上げ、座席の数が足りないのではと、心配になった時、係りの女性に「オンザネット」と、言われて思わず「えっ？」
上がってみると、お客は皆んな船体に渡したネットの上に座わらされたのです。
下は海。そのまま出航です。
丈夫なネットです、壁は無し、屋根も無しとってもワイルドでした。
海風がそのまま吹き抜けて行き気持ち良い事最高です。
当日は波はそれ程大きくなく、船体の揺れも心配していたほどでは無く快適な乗り心地でした。
沖へと進みワイキキのホテル群が見える頃、ダイアモンドヘッドの上にに虹がかかり(しかもダブル)皆から歓声が上がりました。
飲み放題ドリンクが付いていてアルコール(カクテル、ワイン、ウイスキー)もノンアルコールもお好みで選べます。
暫くするとカタマランはゆっくりした動きになりサンセットを待ちます。
お酒を飲みながらこの頃になると皆寛ぎ始めました。
音楽(ロック)を聞き特に陽気な欧米人達は踊り出し、写真を撮りまくるカップルもいました。
以前、大きな船のサンセットディナークルーズにも参加した事がありますが、食事をするのに忙しくゆっくりサンセットを楽しめなかった記憶があります。それに比べカタマランはズット開放的で空と海と一体になった感じがします。
落ち着いて海を眺めたい人にはピッタリでは無いでしょうか？
最後は夕陽を浴びながら波に乗り、まるでサーフボードに乗っているようなスピード感が素敵で、あっという間にビーチに戻りました。
忘れられない素敵なハワイの思い出となりました。
