All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

The sunset, the sea breeze, the drinks, and the atmosphere were all amazing on the catamaran. But... why was it on the net? A friend's camera from a wedding and honeymoon slipped through the net and fell into the sea! A fun memory turned into a sad one...

夕日も、海風も、お酒も、雰囲気も最高のカタマラン号でした。が・・・なぜ？網の上なの？ウェディング＆ハネムーンの友人のカメラが見事網の目をくぐって海へ！楽しい思い出が悲しい思い出に・・・　

I always had experiences that I couldn't enjoy from the land or the hotel garden. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, and the romantic presentation from the sea.

いつも陸やホテルの庭からでは味わえない体験をしました。
ハワイといえば海、その海からのロマンある演出、

Pros: Food was delicious, service was good and the views were great, the music was great!
Cons: The seating was very uncomfortable, the chairs were bolted down and the seating was very close. I have been on a few other cruises, and was much more comfortable on them. Would not do it again.

This was like my 5th time and like always a BLAST!!

I participated with my child. The sea was beautiful, and we went quite far out, which was very nice. However, I think it would have been even more fun if we could have joined as a group. Also, since you get quite wet from the sea spray, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet. If you're worried about getting wet, I don't think you'll enjoy it as much.

親子二人で参加しました。
海もきれいで結構沖まで行きとてもよかったですが、
グループで参加できればもっと楽しかったと思います。
また、かなりシースプレーで濡れるので濡れても構わない服装での参加をお勧めします。
濡れることを気にしているとそんなに楽しめないと思います。

With so many activities in HI being budget-breakers, this one delivers a really fun, relaxing evening at a very reasonable price. The mai tai's on board were enjoyable and refreshing. The crew was great, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs, which made the experience all the more fun. The music was appropriately upbeat and fun. I thnk I could be pursuaded to do this nightly!

Food was good and wonderful views from the top deck...music to be serenaded by in the back ground was quite nice as well. One thing we noticed is there were some empty tables and they could have spaced the couples out a little more to fill the tables and to give a more private setting for some couples to be a little more private with each other. They could have also sailed up or down the coast a little instead of just coasting around Lihania might made for some nice scenery sightings as well...but overall it's worth it !!!!

Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper

There were a lot of whale families. The prices are reasonable, and meals are included, so families traveling to Hawaii during this time should definitely participate. My family was very pleased.

クジラのファミリーが沢山いました。
金額も安いし　食事もついているので家族連れでこの時期にハワイに行かれる方は絶対に参加したほうがいいです。
家族にとても喜ばれました。

The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.

First time in Hawaii, decided to do a sunset cruise. Really enjoyed it. Crew was excellent. Unfortunately you can't pick your fellow passengers so occasionally you may find a winner.

I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with my mother and aunt. Since it was my first time riding a boat in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement, but perhaps I had too many expectations... It was a bit disappointing. All I saw were the spouts and part of the tail of a whale. However, the boat did move to follow the whales, so I could feel that they were trying to entertain the guests. Since we are dealing with wild animals, it's all a matter of luck.

初めてのハワイ旅行の母と叔母と一緒に参加
ハワイで船に乗るのが初めてというのもあって、期待に胸を膨らませすぎていたせいか、ちょっと期待はずれ・・・・
見えたのは　クジラの潮吹きと尾びれの一部。
でも、船はクジラを追って移動してくれるので、お客様を楽しませようとしている姿勢は感じられました。
野生の動物相手ですから、こればっかりは運任せですね。

The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.

It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.

While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.

However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...

とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。

日本人以外の方が多く（日本人：日本人以外＝１：４ぐらい）、交流ができてよかったです。（ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑）
クルーの方もみなさん親切でよくしていただきました。

大きな船でのディナークルーズもいいですが、少人数でゆったりとなごやかなクルーズもよいと思います。

ただ食事（肉系が・・・）がすぐになくなってしまい思う存分は食べられませんでした・・・。

We had a fantastic tour and was even lucky enough to see lots of Dolphins along the way!! Being on the boat was a fun experience (not recommended if you get sea sick as the waves can get very big which makes for a bumpy but fun ride!) and the views of The Na Pali were amazing. Great crew too which made the trip more enjoyable - lots of interesting stories and very welcoming! The food was well prepared and had a good variety too - very tasty! We would highly recommend this tour!

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!

My mom has never gone sailing before, so what an absolute treat this was to bring her on a Sunset Sail with me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single minute of it. It wasn't one of those Booze Cruises where everyone is loud and getting their fill of free booze, this one I was able to relax with my daughter, enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.

The crew mates were so friendly, drinks were top notch, and the Spirit of Aloha is in great shape to handle the open sea!

I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and simple sunset cocktail sail!

My trip to Oahu was for my honey moon. Everything was amazing! After 2 weeks of tours, hikes, shopping, snorkeling & beach fun in the sun-we needed something quiet & romantic. So our last night on this beautiful island was spent on board the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise. I chose this cruise line because I am easily motion sick & was told the build of this ship helped prevent a lot of the swaying you experience. It was great! Food was good-hawaiian pork, chicken teriyaki, potatoes & veggies(you want fancy-up grade),drinks were yum-decently priced. The crew was very nice! The most important part of the ship was the observation decks-awsome!! Plenty of room for everyone. I got some beautiful pics & wonderful memories! & the Friday night fire works made a fabulous ending to a perfect evening at the end of an amazing trip!! I would rebook this cruise on every trip I made!

Overall a great value and great time. Our 19 year old daughters were a bit bored. Can't blame them... They were jealous. The drinks were flowing and the captain and bartender did a great job keeping everyone topped off! Ship was beautiful. Nice circuit of the cruise around Waikiki and Diamond Head. Reccomend highly.

The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.

I participated alone. It was more fun than I expected. I really felt like I was in Hawaii!

Once on board, the crew started talking about safety instructions. I couldn't understand anything they were saying... ^_^;

After a while, they served everyone cocktails in cups, and the crew came around multiple times for refills.

I also went to the restroom. No one seemed to have used it, so it was very clean that day. However, it was quite narrow! Since you have to use a vertical ladder, it might be difficult for those with mobility issues...

Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely ride this catamaran again! Wait for me! (laughs) THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

一人で参加しました。
思っていた以上に、楽しかったです。
ハワイに来たんだーーー♪と実感してきました。

乗船すると、クルーの人が注意事項等を話し出します。
何を言っているかさっぱりわかりませんでした・・・^_^;

そして、しばらくすると、カップに入ったカクテルを全員に振る舞ってくれて、お代わりは、わざわざクルーの人が何度も、回ってきてくれました。

トイレも行って来ました。だれも、使用していなかったのか、その日は、とてもキレイでした。
ただ、とても狭い！　はしご階段（垂直）を使うので、足の悪い方は、大変かも・・・。

次回ハワイに来たら、またこのカタマランに乗りに行きます！待っててね！（笑）
　　　　　THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

Christine was super cool at the check-in, she was so joyful and fired-up, loved this cruise! On-board crew was amazing and the drinks kept coming and coming. What a night - hahahaha! Yeah, WHAT A NIGHT! If you are in Waikiki you will WANT to take a sail out ... I went on a few and this one - by far - had the biggest drink cups!

OK, there was a pod of 200 dolphins swimming all around our boat - which was a trip, sunset views were awesome - you won't see a sunset like this one in Waikiki, believe me I went one TWO sailing trips in Waikiki last week, which were great too ... but on this trip we actually saw the sun slip away behind the ocean horizon. The crew was so friendly and chill and accommodating ... no pressure ... no trying to shamelessly sell you stuff, actually, Captain Patrick shared all the free stuff to do along the coast, we saw the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean and the new Disney hotel too. The snorkeling was great! The food was simple and healthy and tasty! Yum! I understand that this is a newer tour so we only had about 18 people on a 49 capacity boat .... so lots of room to stretch out and get some tanning done. Thank you all at the Ocean Joy for such an amazing experience! We will be back the Kai oli oli again!!

My friend decided to do this cruise and so we went along. We all had an incredible time! While we were sailing out in the deep blue ocean enjoying our tasty drinks and listening to the tunes, it just automatically becomes the perfect combination to get everyone in a mood to socialize, move around and even dance on-board! The best part about the whole cruise was the gorgeous sunset (besides the OPEN bar).

I would definitely recommend this to my friends and to everyone I know!! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Sailing + Drinks + Friends = GOOD TIMES!

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!

Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!

Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!

As mentioned in other reviews, most participants were foreigners. On the day we attended, I believe there was only one other Japanese group besides us.

After departing from Waikiki Beach, there is a safety briefing and a drink explanation, all in English. Once the explanation is over, drinks are served, and then you can relax while watching the sunset.

On the day we participated, it started off sunny, but it became cloudy, and unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely and elegant time out in the waters off Waikiki. The young foreign girls were dancing with drinks in hand the whole time! Don't worry if you can't speak English at all! With so few Japanese people around, you can really feel like you're abroad.

Please make sure to use the restroom before boarding! You should assume there is no restroom on the boat. (There is one, but it has a terrible smell, and you really have to brace yourself to use it...) Well, it's for emergencies!

But other than that, it was fantastic! The next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely sign up again!

他の方の口コミにもあるように、参加者の大半の方が外国人でした。私たちが参加したこの日も、日本人は私たち以外に１組だけだったと思います。

ワイキキビーチを出発すると、安全確認の説明と、ドリンクの説明があります。全て英語です。その説明が終わると、ドリンクが配られ、あとはサンセットを見ながらのんびりです。

私たちが参加したこの日は、最初は晴れていたのですが、途中から曇ってしまい、あいにくキレイなサンセットは見れませんでした。でも、ワイキキの沖でゆっくりのんびり、優雅な時間を過ごせました。外人の若い女の子たちは、終始お酒片手に踊っていましたよ☆　英語ができなくても全然大丈夫！日本人が少ないので、外国を感じることができます。

くれぐれも、乗船する前にトイレは済ませて下さい！船にはトイレが無いと思った方がいいです。（あるにはあるけど、ひどい悪臭で、相当覚悟しないと入れないと思います・・・）　まぁ、緊急用ですね！

でもそれ以外は最高です！
次回ハワイに行ったら、必ずまた申し込みます☆

I took my daughter on a Hawaiian vacation and I wanted to get out to celebrate the holiday in a special way somehow. She is 13 and just at that age where it is still "cool" to go out on dates with your dad. So I decided to take her on this cruise and make a big night of it.

It was perfect! We got a little dressed up and went on board...there was live music and a delicious dinner (I had Mahi Mahi that was out of this world, and they even had a vegetarian offering for my always on a diet daughter!)

Watching the fireworks show, and seeing my little girl happy and feeling like a queen for the night...that was priceless. Worth the money, without a doubt!

From the start to the end, great trip. The staff was unbelievable. They helped in all factors of the trip. From getting drinks, to helping people on board, to holding the buckets of the poor souls that had to much excitement. We will be back with the whole family. Thanks again for getting the double rainbow on the way back in.

My wife and I took this cruise and had a great time!

Being new to the area, we asked for some suggestions and several people mentioned the Star of Honolulu to us. So we gave it a shot, and we are so glad we did.

It was easy to get to the pickup point right from our hotel, we actually walked! And then the dinner was great. I am a big eater, and a self-professed food snob, but that lobster and five-course meal was truly amazing. Fireworks capped off the night with a bang, and it was just wonderful.

I picked this cruise because I wanted to get out and do something for the Fourth of July, but I didn't want the hassle of dealing with huge crowds of people, fighting traffic, and being around a bunch of screaming teenagers running around.

This was the perfect choice for me. I am a big guy, so I like to eat...buffet style all the way, and I am a happy man. So the food was good. Drinks were available at reasonable prices, and the best part was nobody seemed to be there to get drunk, but just enjoyed some drinks and the night. The fireworks were the best ending to a good night. I made a great choice, obviously.

Very enjoyable trip and beautiful scenary
