All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We bought tickets from the site in Australia and thought we were getting a "Sunset/fireworks cruise" however when we got there we were on a moonlight cruise. (Which is the one we wanted. I think your site needs to clarify the differnece in the two tours a bit better. The sunset cruise went out at 5.00 and the one we were on was 6.30. Having said that we were placed on the right one as we wanted to see the fireworks which were fantasic.
The staff were amazing and we had a very memorable time. I would highly recommend this activity to all but just get clarification as to what cruise you actually want to be on.
D&D, Melbourne Australia. October 2012

I attended on October 30th, and the weather was great that day, making me feel very rich.

I definitely want to participate again next time.

It's perfect for couples!

10月30日に参加しましたが、当日は天気も良くとってもリッチな気分になれました。

ぜひ、次回も参加したいと思います。

ｶｯﾌﾟﾙには最高～

When I chose this dinner cruise on our first trip to Maui, I thought "larger boat, more space". Instead, it was "larger boat more people". The four of us in our group could not believe how many tables were set up on the upper deck. In my opinion, it was not even safe if something had happened to the ship. I even had the sense that the ship was top heavy.

We sat near the bow in the center. For whatever reason, everyone was served around us before we received our food. We were absolutely the last people served, but we weren't the last table in any of the rows. I realize that some table has to be last, but it didn't make any sense in the way they served the tables. We even had to remind them that we hadn't been served. The people at the stern were close to the bar and the food. They were finished with dessert before we had been served. There was almost no way to get the three drinks included with the meal unless you ordered all of them at once. Too many people trying to order from one

I had my first sailing experience in Hawaii this time! At first, I was a bit anxious because everyone on board, except for us, was a foreigner, but once we set sail, it didn't matter at all. The breeze felt amazing, and we even got to see a sea turtle along the way! Drinking a beer on the catamaran was exceptional. Next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate in a sunset sailing.

今回ハワイで人生初のセーリング体験をしました！初めはクルーも乗船客も私たち以外みんな外人で不安でしたが、いざ出航したらそんなことはまったく関係なかったです。かぜが本当に気持ちよくて、途中海ガメも見ることができました！カタマランの上で飲むビールは格別です。またハワイに行く際は、ぜひサンセットセーリングに参加してみたいです。

Amazing sunset and smooth ride! Loved the net seat!

I felt the pleasant Hawaiian breeze, and the cruise was very enjoyable. On this day, the ship hardly swayed, making for a comfortable cruise. The cocktails served were also delicious. While listening to upbeat music, I was able to see a very beautiful sunset, which was the best part.

As for precautions, I think it was important to stay inside the red lines of the hammock once we were out at sea and to avoid sitting in the areas painted blue. I felt the cheerful spirit of the Americans. Bringing snacks along is also fun.

心地の良いハワイの風を感じながら、クルーズは、とっても気持ちよかったです。
この日は、船はほとんど揺れず快適なクルーズでした。出された、カクテルも美味しかったです。
乗りの良い音楽を聴きながら、とても美しい夕日をみることができて、最高でした。
注意事項は、恐らく沖に出たらハンモックの赤いラインの内側にいること、ブルーに塗ってある場所に座らないことだったと思います。
アメリカ人の方が底抜けの陽気さを感じました。
お菓子なんかを持って行くのも楽しいです。

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience

If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.

Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you

Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

This Catamaran outting was definitely worth the price for anyone. My wife and I enjoyed the staff courtesy during the whole trip. They provide all you can drink choices which was great during the beautiful sunset ride. They played nice music from beginning to end which was relaxing. The Sunset is beautiful from out in the water coasting along. I would definitely go on this ride again when visiting here.

Food was very good. Took the cruise on Friday and saw fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Village which were spectacular. Also, took the city lights tour which was spectacular as well.

I felt安心 with the Japanese-speaking staff. Additionally, snorkeling was a valuable experience, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle. What surprised me the most was how delicious the food served on the boat was when we were all hungry after snorkeling. Overall, it was a tour that was packed with value.

日本語スタッフで安心でした。また、シュノーケリングも貴重な体験で、ウミガメも運良く見れました。何より意外だったのが、シュノーケリング後のお腹ペコペコな時に出された船上での料理が凄く美味しかったです。全体的にボリューム満点なツアーでした。

No one else from Japan participated besides us, but we were able to see a wonderful sunset. It was breathtaking.

日本の方は私たち以外どなたも参加されておりませんでしたが、素晴らしいサンセットが見られました。
感激です。

This was my fourth time in Hawaii. In the past three visits, I participated in sunset cruises with dinner, but this time I wanted to try a different cruise, so I chose this one. It turned out to be a great decision. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. In Waikiki, which is usually filled with Japanese tourists, this cruise offers a taste of foreign charm. Unlimited Mai Tais and the views were fantastic! The homey atmosphere where everyone starts dancing to the music is something you can't easily experience in Japan! The small boat does sway quite a bit, but that adds to the thrill! I definitely want to participate again next time.

4回目のハワイ。過去3回、ディナー付のサンセットクルーズに参加していましたが、いつもと違うクルーズがしたいと思い、こちらを選択。結果、大正解でした。私たちのほかに日本人グループは１組だけ。日本人だらけのワイキキにあって、このクルーズは外国情緒を味わえます。マイタイ飲み放題、景色も最高！みんな音楽に合わせて踊りだすアットホームな雰囲気は日本ではなかなか味わえません！小さい船だから結構揺れますが、それもスリリング！次回からも参加したいと思います。

We had an absolutely terrific time. The staff was great!

Departing from Waikiki on a yacht was fantastic! We went quite far out to sea. It was relaxing to enjoy drinks while watching the sunset, and the view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the ocean was really great. I didn't get seasick, and I enjoyed four glasses of wine and cocktails, which made for a wonderful experience. We did various activities, but this was the most memorable and I highly recommend it.

ヨットでワイキキを出発！
結構沖まで出ました。
サンセットまでお酒を飲みながらのんびりできるし
海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチは
かなり良かったです。
船も酔わないしワインとカクテルを４杯のんで
かなり満喫しました。
いろいろアクティビティしましたが、一番印象深くオススメです。

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

Confused about where to meet at the location at first and boat was about 15 minutes late so we were kind of worried if we were in the correct place.
Cruise and staff were awesome.
Mai tai's did not have much alcohol.

My 2 oldest daughters and I recently took the morning trip and we had a wonderful time.
The staff (Chris & ?...sorry) were fun, energetic, informative & all around great.
We had fun, laughter, conversation, information & those yummy shaker drinks Chris served up. The whole trip made my oldest daughters 1st visit to Hawaii very worth while...a definite "do again" trip.
The following pictures are just a glimpse of the fun morning we had despite the yucky weather beforehand.

Cheers,
Vivian, Jessica & Mary

We had fun, didn't expect this to be a drinking cruise with a bunch of your party goers, but it was fun.

I participated in the same fireworks event at Hilton last year and had a great time, so I signed up for the same tour this year. The staff crew was the same, and there was a very charming guy who was great at talking (he mentioned he was getting married soon and asked for tips, but I feel like he said the same thing last year...?). Anyway, they were all people who made the passengers enjoy themselves. The cruise had an equal mix of Japanese and foreign guests. The food was simple but delicious, and although drinks were ticket-based, soft drinks were unlimited, so I didn't have much trouble (the waves were slightly higher than last year, and since the meal was on the outdoor deck, it was a bit challenging due to the rocking).

We were able to enjoy the sunset on the horizon, and the atmosphere from the sea was fantastic. I especially recommend this tour for Friday nights.

ヒルトンの花火が催される金曜日の夜に昨年も同じ規格で参加し、たいへん楽しめたので今年も同じツアーに申し込みました。スタッフクルーも同じで大変話のうまいお兄さんでした（結婚間近なのでチップよろしくと言っていましたが、確か昨年も同じことを言っていたような気が・・・？）とにかく乗客を楽しませてくれる方々でした。日本人客と外国の方が半々のクルーズでした。食事はシンプルな内容でしたが美味しかった、ドリンクもチケット制ですがソフトドリンクは飲み放題でほとんど不自由しなかったです（波が昨年より若干高く、食事はデッキ屋外だったので揺れてやや大変でした。
水平線上のサンセットも拝めて、海上からのはナビは雰囲気最高でした。特に金曜日の夜はお勧めのツアーだと思います。

Food was great. The crew was friendly. Our overall experience was amazing!

Awesome experience. My family and I really let are hair down and had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Wife and I took the dinner cruise for our 25th anniversary. We had a great time. The dinner was excellent, the service was not bad. You have to remember everybody came on at the same time, so everybody wants something right away. The setting was amazing, nice boat, weather was awesome, and the scenery and sunset so beautiful. We would definately recommend this excursion.

I thought I bought and paid for the sunset cruise but it was
actually was the moonlight cruise with my young grandchildren
that actually slept thru most of it. It is too late for little kids. The fireworks were good though.

Had a blast. The staff was friendly and helpful. One guest got sick an they ran around to help her out! Sunset pictures were great, have memories for a lifetime!!!!

We have been on this catamaran 4 times now, we absolutely love it! The staff is so nice and they make the BEST Mai Tai's as well! We will always book with them when we visit Hawaii.

Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.

The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."

Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.

This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.

I participated with a group of five friends. I decided to board the large ship because I had been on one before and wanted to see the fireworks, but the fireworks felt a bit far away. However, the performances on the ship included dancing, and we could enjoy them together. I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I understood English a little better.

友人5人のグループで参加しました。大きな船には乗ったことがあるのと花火を見たくて乗船を決めましたが少し花火は遠くかんじました。ただ船の中のパフォーマンスは踊りありで一緒に楽しめます。英語がもう少し分かればもっと楽しめたんだろうなと思います。

We went with six people from three generations. The sea breeze felt great. The waves got bigger around Diamond Head, and my wife got seasick. I think it would be fine for those who don't get seasick easily. We cruised slowly and returned around sunset. The evening view of Waikiki was a bit cloudy, but the setting sun was very beautiful. I wish I could have understood the captain's talk a bit more to enjoy it even more.

３世代６人で行きました。海の風は気持ちがよかった。ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎるあたりから波が大きくなり、嫁さんは船酔いしてしまいました。酔いやすい人でなければ大丈夫だと思います。ゆっくりクルーズして日の沈むころ戻りました。ワイキキの夕方の眺めも、ちょっと雲がかかったけど沈む夕日もとてもきれいでした。もう少し船長の話を理解できればもっと楽しめたのにと思いました。

We traveled as a couple with our children aged 2, 5, and 8. Since the kids are small, snorkeling wasn't suitable, and we didn't want the mood of a dinner cruise, but we still wanted to be on a boat. That's why we signed up for this tour. First, we took off our shoes and boarded barefoot. As the reviews said, it was an impressive tour that was also safe for families with children. We were able to see several sea turtles swimming. The front edge of the boat got quite wet, but the middle stayed mostly dry. It was also reasonable and a great deal. The kids were very happy.

夫婦で２歳、５歳、８歳の子供を連れての旅でした。子供が小さいのでシュノーケリングは不向きだし、ディナークルーズの様なムードもいらない、でも船は乗りたい。そこでこのツアーに申し込みました。まず靴を脱いで裸足で乗船します。クチコミ通り、迫力もありながら子連れでも安心なツアーでした。泳いでいるウミガメも数匹見れました。前方の端がずぶ濡れになる場所でしたね。真ん中はほとんど濡れません。リーズナブルでもあり、お得でした。子供も喜んでおりました。

We participated as a couple. Since our schedule was packed (laughs), we were looking for an activity that we could join for a short time and found one that involved riding a boat♪ I had read some experiences, so I expected to get somewhat wet, but I never imagined I would end up completely soaked from head to toe! (>▽<)/ It was even more fun than I had imagined♪ I didn't know I would get this wet, so I participated in a T-shirt and shorts, but next time I plan to join in a swimsuit and clothes that can get wet, and after getting off the catamaran, I want to play on the beach＾＾ The drinks were reasonably priced, even on the boat. Many experiences mentioned that there were no other Japanese participants, but during our time, there was a Japanese father who had been on this catamaran multiple times and his elementary school-aged daughter, and we were able to chat a bit＾＾ Foreigners also approached us and kindly took our pictures. (When we went further out, the waves were high, so it wasn't really a good time for photos...) All the explanations were in English, but I think it would be manageable even if you don't understand English♪ I definitely want to participate again!

夫婦で参加しました。
予定がぎっしりなので(笑)、短時間で参加できる、船に乗れるアクティビティを探していて見つけました♪
体験談を読んでいたので、ある程度濡れるだろうとは思っていましたが、まさかあんなに頭から全身ずぶぬれになるとは！(>▽<)/
想像以上にとても楽しかったです♪
今回はこんなに濡れるとも知らずTシャツとジーンズの短パンで参加してしまいましたが、次回は水着＋濡れても良い格好で参加して、カタマランから降りた後はそのままビーチで遊びたいと思います＾＾
ドリンクも、船の上なのに良心的な価格でした。
日本人の参加者は他にいなかった、との体験談が多いですが、私達の時はこのカタマランに何度も乗ったことがある日本人のお父さんと小学生くらいの娘さんもいらっしゃって、少しお話もできました＾＾
外国人の方も、あちらから声をかけていただいて気さくにシャッターを押してくださいました。
(沖の方へ行くと波が高く、写真を撮っている場合ではないですが。。)
説明などは全部英語ですが、英語がわからなくてもなんとかなると思います♪
また絶対に参加したいです！
