All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

good shizzle. i liked it . it was very nice and romantic. but i think that there could be a better selection for the lobster, overall though, kudos and good job

Initially, I had signed up for Saturday at 7:77, but due to the other party's circumstances, it was changed to Friday, and I was able to enjoy the Hilton fireworks. Lucky!
The boat was cozy and had a small number of people, which was nice.
There were hardly any Japanese people, so it felt like I was abroad. However, my English is not very good, so I struggled to communicate even when spoken to.
The food was just okay.
Overall, the sunset was amazing, and I was satisfied with the views of the Waikiki nightscape and Diamond Head from the sea.

当初は土曜日で７．７７に申し込みをしたのですが、先方の都合で金曜日に変更になり、ヒルトンの花火を堪能することが出来ました。ラッキー！
船もこじんまりしてて、少人数なので良かったですよ。
日本人もほとんどいなく、海外に来た感がありました。ただ英語が不十分な私は、話かけられても片言しか話せないので苦労しました。
食事はちょっとって感じでした。
全体的には夕日も最高で、海からワイキキの夜景やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めたりと満足できました。

This was my first time participating in a sunset cruise in Hawaii, despite it being my 14th visit. Until now, I thought it was unthinkable to have a meal on a boat because I get seasick. However, my friend really wanted to see the sunset from the water, so I reluctantly joined this time. The sunset and Waikiki viewed from the sea were absolutely amazing.

I was surprised that I didn't get seasick after we set sail for a while. The meal was light, but it was delicious. Once we were out at sea and the sails were raised, all I could hear was the sound of the waves, and I was able to enjoy a very luxurious time.

Now, here are my personal tips. Since the sun is strong before departure, I recommend staying inside the boat and taking your time with a Mai Tai or something similar. After we set sail, there was a trampoline on the boat where you could bounce around. (It's just bouncing on a net, but it's quite fun!) If you're lucky, you might even see dolphins.

There were few Japanese participants on this tour, but you don't need to worry about your English skills. When we went in July, the sun set behind the mountains, but in the coming seasons, it will set over the ocean, making it a perfect and budget-friendly memory for couples. Of course, I plan to join next time with my boyfriend.

ハワイ１４回目にしてはじめて、サンセットクルーズに参加しました。
今まで船酔いするので船上で食事なんてとんでもない。と思っていましたが友人がどうしても船上からサンセットを見たいというので仕方なく今回初めての参加でした。海から見るサンセット＆ワイキキはサイコーでした。
出航してしばらくして船酔いしていない自分にビックリでした。
食事も軽めでしたが、おいしかったです
沖にでると帆をあげるので波の音しかしないしとてもリッチな時間がすごせました。

ここからは私なりのアドバイスです。
出航までは日差しが強いので船内に居ることをおすすめし、まずマイタイでも飲みながらゆっくりとしてください。
出航後は船上でトランポリンができます。〔網が張っている上で飛び跳ねるだけですが結構楽しいですよ。〕
運がよければイルカにも逢えるそうです。
このツアーは日本人の参加者が少ないですが英語力がなくても大丈夫です。
私達が行った７月は太陽が山に沈みましたがこれからの季節は海に沈んでいくのでカップルには安上がりでも最高の思い出になるはずです。
もちろん次回は彼氏と参加します。

I have experience with dinner cruises on large ships, but this was my first time on a smaller vessel like a sailboat. It was a wonderful experience, feeling the sea up close, even getting splashed by the waves at times.

The captain, who is also the owner, had previously lived in Japan, so he spoke Japanese fluently. After explaining the safety instructions in English, he gathered the Japanese passengers to provide a second explanation in Japanese. There were many foreign guests, and I sometimes felt a bit hesitant with only the English explanation, but I was able to enjoy the cruise without any worries.

The cruise offers three options: breakfast cruise, lunch cruise, and sunset cruise. We participated in the sunset cruise. The harbor is just past Ala Moana, so it's very close to Waikiki. Those who are familiar with the area drove directly to the harbor.

The cruise lasted about 1 hour and 30 minutes and included light snacks and two drinks. The snacks can serve as a meal, but they felt more like appetizers to accompany drinks. Of course, if you eat a lot, it can substitute for a meal. The drinks ranged from non-alcoholic juices and mineral water to beer and cocktails, all prepared efficiently by a female bartender. The food included baked potatoes, macaroni, spring rolls, bread, and cookies.

On our way back, we received a $10 discount coupon. If I have the chance, I would like to join the breakfast cruise next time.

大きな船でのディナークルーズなどは経験がありますが、帆船のような小さな船は初めての経験で、時には波しぶきがかかったりと、海を近くに感じるとても良い経験でした。
経営者でもあるキャプテンは以前日本に住んでいたこともあり、日本語はバッチリ通じ、乗船直後の注意事項等説明は英語の後に日本人だけを集めて再度説明してくれました。外国人の方の比率が多く、英語だけの説明だけでは何と無く気後れしてしまったりしまいますが、そんな不安も無く安心して楽しむことができました。
クルーズはブレックファストクルーズ、ランチクルーズ、サンセットクルーズと１日に３回あるそうですが、私達はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。港はアラモアナのすぐ先のハーバーですからワイキキからも直ぐです。慣れている方は車で直接来ていました。
クルーズ自体は1時間30分ほどで、軽食とドリンク2杯がつきます。軽食は食事代わりにもなりますが、どちらかというとお酒のおつまみ程度という感覚です。勿論、沢山食べれば勿論食事代わりにもなります。飲み物は、ノンアルコールのジュースやミネラルウォーターからビール、カクテルまで女性のバーテンダーさんが手際良く作ってくれます。料理の内容的は、ベイクドポテト、マカロニ、生春巻き、調理パン、クッキー等です。
帰り際に10＄割引券を頂きました。機会があったらブレックファストクルーズにでも参加したいと思います。

I had a really fun time!

There were only my friend and I who were Japanese, but everyone was friendly. We took pictures together, exchanged emails with a couple, and they invited us to visit the mainland United States. It was truly an open and enjoyable time.

We had two drinks and a meal that included two types of wraps, fried food, and macaroni salad, with cookies for dessert. The sunset was really beautiful, and we could see the moonlight as well. It felt like we had plenty of time, and we were very satisfied. Thank you to the staff for taking care of us!

とっても楽しい時間を過ごせました！

日本人は私と友人だけだったけど、皆フレンドリーで、写真を撮りあったり、
ご夫婦とメール交換したり、アメリカ本土に遊びにおいでと言ってもらったりと、
本当オープンで楽しい時間でした。

ドリンク２杯と食事は　ラップ２種類と揚げ物とマカロニサラダで
デザートはクッキーでした。
サンセットは本当に綺麗で、月明かりも見れたし、時間もたっぷりとあった感じで
私達は大満足でした。スタッフの方、お世話になり有難うございました！

This was my second time in Hawaii, but my first time cruising.

First of all, the good thing was that the pickup time for the transfer was accurate. In fact, they arrived five minutes early. I signed up for other optional tours, but this was the only one that was precise. Also, the captain (who was also the driver) who picked us up was really cool. Moreover, he welcomed us Japanese guests warmly.

On the day I participated, there were about 50 people, and among them, there were only my husband and I and one other Japanese couple. The safety instructions before departure were only in English, but it was reassuring that the captain could speak Japanese.

The meal included two drinks (alcohol was okay) and snacks (like spring rolls and cookies). The snacks were delicious. It was a self-service format. Since it was just snacks, I didn't get full, but it was just right as a side for the drinks. Also, as others have mentioned, if you plan to drink alcohol, please bring your passport or ID.

I was worried about not being able to speak English, but there was no need to worry at all. I would love to join this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.

今回ハワイは2回目でしたが、クルージングは初めてでした。
まず、よかった事は送迎のピックアップの時間が正確でした。むしろ５分早くきてくれました。他にもオプショナルツアーを申し込みましたが正確だったのはここだけでした。また迎えにきてくれた船長さん（兼ドライバーさん）がかっこよかったです。しかも日本人をすごく歓迎してくれました。
私が参加した日は５０人くらいで、その中の日本人は私たち夫婦ともう１組だけでした。出航前の注意事項は英語だけでしたが、船長さんが日本語を話せるので安心です。
食事はドリンク２杯（アルコールｏｋ）とおつまみ（はるまきやクッキーなど）です。おつまみおいしかったです。セルフで取る形式でした。おつまみ程度なのでお腹いっぱいになりませんでしたがお酒のおつまみになりちょうどよかったです。あと、他の方も書いていましたがアルコールを飲むならパスポートかＩＤ持って行ってください。
英語できなく心配でしたが全然心配ないです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいツアーです。

This time, I participated in a cruise for the first time with my friends. It was my first time in Hawaii, and I didn't know that Waikiki would look so beautiful from the sea. The cruise lasted about two hours, but it went by in a flash. The sunset was absolutely stunning. I felt that there were many families from foreign countries among the participants. One family even started a photo session mimicking the Titanic. Even if there are no Japanese people around and you can't speak English, everyone is friendly, so it's all good. The staff is also very nice. Especially the female bartender, whose name I forgot, was both sexy and cool. Drinks are included, and light snacks are part of the tour fee. Oh, for Japanese guests, if you want to drink alcohol, please make sure to bring your ID. It seems that the regulations have become stricter, and you can't drink without something that shows your date of birth. It would be a shame to enjoy a graceful evening on the sea without alcohol, right? So don't forget your ID! Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to participate in a cruise during the fireworks.

今回友達と初めてクルーズに参加しました。初ハワイだったんですが、海からみるワイキキがこんなに綺麗だなんて知らなかったです。２時間程のクルーズでしたがあっという間でした。サンセットそれはそれは綺麗でしたよ。参加者は
外国籍の家族連れが多かったように思います。今回参加された家族はタイタニックをまねた写真撮影会をはじめていました。日本人がいなくても英語が話せなくてもみんなフレンドリーなので大丈夫です。スタッフの方もとてもいい感じですし。特にバーテンの女の人、名前を聞くのを忘れましたがセクシーでかつかっこいいんです。飲み物も付いているし軽食もツアー代金に含まれています。あっ、日本人の方、もしアルコールが飲みたい方は必ずIDを持参してくださいね。取締りが厳しくなったのか生年月日が記入されているものがないと今は飲めないんです。せっかく海の上で優雅に黄昏たいのにアルコールなしじゃなんかものたりないですよね？なのでIDはお忘れなく！！次回ハワイに行くときは花火の時のクルーズに参加したいと思っています。

As a repeat visitor to Hawaii, I had never participated in a sunset cruise until this time. The sunset and Waikiki viewed from the sea were amazing. It was very romantic. Additionally, not only the scenery but also the staff were friendly and had a great vibe. The food was light but delicious, and you can enjoy up to two drinks with your ticket, which was a pleasant surprise.

We headed out to sea with the engine on, and once we were offshore, we raised the sails and cruised elegantly. You can spend a very relaxing time just listening to the sound of the waves and the wind. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to unwind.

Also, since there weren't many Japanese participants on this tour, I think it's definitely a step above tours that are exclusively for Japanese people. It was very enjoyable to communicate with people from various countries during the cruise. Of course, if you're not confident in your English, there's no need to worry. Please feel free to join in with peace of mind. I plan to visit Hawaii again in the fall, so I would like to participate again.

ハワイのリピータですが、サンセットクルーズをしたことが今まで無く、今回初めての参加でした。海から見るサンセット＆ワイキキはサイコーでした。とてもロマンチックですよ。又、景色だけでなくスタッフもフレンドリーでとてもいい感じです。食事も軽めのものですが、おいしかったですし飲み物も２杯までチケットで飲めちゃうんです。びっくりしました。
沖まではエンジンかけて行き、沖にでると帆をあげ優雅にクルーズをします。波の音と風だけにみみを傾けてとてもゆったりとした時間がすごせます。癒されたい人に是非お勧めです。
後このツアーは日本人の参加者があまり見られないので日本人ONLYのツアーより断然格上だと思います。クルーズでいろんな国の方とのコミュニケーションがとれとてもたのしいです。もちろん英語に自身がない方でも心配しないでも大丈夫。安心して参加してみて下さい。次回、秋頃にハワイに行く予定でですので又、参加したいと思っています。

If you're in Hawaii, you definitely have to enjoy the ocean, so I decided to join this sailing trip. On July 2nd, the day of the trip, the weather was clear, and we had a pleasant sailing experience under the sunset. It was about a two-hour cruise, and the interior was beautiful, the yacht had a great atmosphere, and being surrounded by foreigners really made me feel like I was abroad. As for the provided meals, they were just snacks as mentioned in other reviews, but I was aware of that in advance, so it wasn't a problem.

One thing to note is that even if it's hot when you board, it can get chilly during the cruise, so it's essential to bring a light jacket. Also, my wife got seasick, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.

ハワイに来たならやっぱり海だろうと思って参加しました。
搭乗した７月２日は晴天で、夕焼けのもと気持ちのいいセーリングになりました。　２時間位のクルージングでしたが、内装？もきれいで、ヨットも雰囲気があり、周りは外国人だらけで、外国に来ている気分を再認識できました。　用意されている食事に関しては、他の書込みにあるとおり間食程度のものでしたが、あらかじめわかっていたので特に問題なかったです。
注意することは、乗船時は暑くても航海しているうちに寒くなってくるので、１枚羽織るものは必須です。あと、妻は船酔いしてしまったので、弱い人は酔止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをお勧めします。

This cruise was just lovely. The facilities and staff were great. We left on time and had a very fun yet relaxing cruise. We would do this again!

I participated in a two-hour sunset cruise on a catamaran that accommodates about 50 people. I was worried about seasickness, but there was little rocking, and I was able to feel the ocean up close for about two hours while enjoying a beautiful sunset.

At the time I participated, I was the only Japanese person among about 15 others from the mainland United States and Malaysia, with three staff members. There were no particular attractions; once we got out to sea, the engine was turned off, and the sails were raised, allowing the boat to move solely by the power of the wind. It was a relaxing time filled with the sounds of the wind and waves, where I enjoyed conversations with the staff and other participants, while the children took turns steering the boat with the captain. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their own experience.

Two drinks and snacks were provided, but this alone may not be enough to fill you up. The boat is well-maintained, and since there are no assigned seats, you can enjoy the sunset in Waikiki at your own pace. However, everything is in English, so it might be a good opportunity to test your English skills.

定員５０人くらいの双胴船で２時間のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。船酔いが心配でしたが揺れも少なく約２時間海を間近に感じ、とてもきれいなサンセットも見れて楽しくすごせました。
私たちが参加した時は私だけが日本人でアメリカ本土からとマレーシアからの計１５人ほどでスタッフが３人。特にアトラクションなどはなく、沖まで出るとエンジンを切って帆を揚げ風の力だけで船は進みます。風と波の音だけのゆったりとした時間でスタッフや他の参加者と会話を楽しんだり、子供たちはキャプテンと一緒に舵を握ったり、みなそれぞれの時間を楽しんでいたようです。
飲み物２杯分とおつまみがついてきますが、これだけではお腹はいっぱいにならないのであしからず。
船はきれいに手入れされており、席も決まっていないので自分のペースでワイキキのサンセットを楽しめます。
ただ、すべて英語ですから自分の英語力を試すいいチャンスかもしれません。

The service was wonderful. Anyone booking should know before hand that the stairs going above/beow decks is difficult for anyone with walking difficulties (with a cane). Food was very well prepared.
Comments from the entertainer regarding what we are passing as we cruise along the coast would be beneficial. But, it was very good music.

We went out on Friday night to see the fireworks show. The ride was great, as was the sunset view. The fireworks were great, I just wish they had been a little longer. There was no down side to this activity. I highly recommend it.

I took my girlfriend to this dinner cruise cuz I heard great things about it. It def. met my expectation, but I wish I had more money to do 5star. We did three star, and it was still good, but if you are really into that person you are with, you should do 5 star (no offense to my gf... next time...) i had a chance to peek the top floor, and it looked really nice inside. Neverthless, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Thanks!

I participated in 2007.
I recommend it for those staying in Hawaii on Independence Day.

I think it would be nice to go a little early, have a meal at Hooters in the Aloha Tower Marketplace, and then join the event.

On the way back, there is a tremendous traffic jam, so if you take a taxi back to the hotel, the meter will go up quickly, so you should be careful.

2007年に参加しました。
独立記念日にハワイに滞在している方にはお勧めです。

ちょっと早めに行って、アロハタワー・マーケット・プレイス内にある
ＨＯＯＴＥＲＳでお食事してから参加するのもいいと思います。

帰りはものすごい渋滞なので、タクシーでホテルまで帰ると
メーターがガンガン上がるので、気をつけたほうがいいですよ。

Our captain was hilarious, the view was spectacular, the drinks were fantastic...you must do this! We made some new friends on the cruise who are locals, I told them I hadn't expected to meet and locals since I thought it was more of a tourist activity they said it's the best value for your money on Oahu! It was so much fun! A tip: bring along your camera, a few ones to tip the bar tender and $5 to purchase the "shaker" (which is optional). And for the ladies... YES! there is a potty on board!

I and My husband often visit Hawaii, but never came to Kauai.
So, for the 5th Anniversary Trip, we decided to see the Na Pail, which our friends visit Last year and recommended to us.
The Crew members were great! We were the only Japanese couple on the Boat, but they tried to understand our poor English, explain the history of Kauai, and they even sang us a Hawaiian Song after they found out this is our 5th Anniversary Trip..
Off course, the view was incredibly beautiful.
I strongly recommend this Activity for my Friend!!
Thank you Sooo much!

We found the experience a total refreshment. From the loading on the ship to the disembarking, the personal attention to our needs was delightful. We found the food to be excellent. The only down side we found was their taste in music, but to each his/her own.
We found the Vow Renewal part not as exciting as anticipated but well worth the expense.

We went on the sunset cruise. Even though the sky overcast and the waters were choppy for part of the trip, we still had an amazing time!

Food was average but yummy, served buffet style: chicken wraps, pasta salad, spring rolls, cookies.

Great, friendly, helpful crew. Good middle-ground between a fancy dinner cruise and simple booze cruise. This is the only catamaran cruise I found that actually offers food...and for about the same price as the others that only offer alcohol.

Would definitely recommend!

I decided to take a trip to hawaii and include this lovely romantic cruise ship for my boyfriend's 30th birthday.If was very intimate and romantic. We absolutely loved the experience and the staff. Kalani and Joe were such a joy. I would strongly recommend the 5 star honolulu dinner cruise to any couple celebrating a special or intimate event.

I participated in this as a way to create memories with a friend who is leaving Hawaii, and it was a pleasant sailing experience with great weather.

The staff was very accommodating, and the snacks provided were delicious, which made me very satisfied.

Above all, as a woman, what made me happiest was that the restrooms were clean! This is definitely a high point.

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to relax and fully enjoy Hawaii!

ハワイを去ってしまう友達と一緒に
思い出作りとして参加したのですが、
お天気もよく、気持ちのいいセーリングでした。

スタッフの対応もよく、用意してある
スナックもおいしくて、大満足でした。

何より女性として一番うれしいのは、
おトイレがキレイだということ♪
ここはかなりポイントが高いです。

リラックスしつつ、ハワイを満喫したい、と言う人にはぜひオススメです(・∀・)ノ

The Oahu Dinner Sunset Cruise was very nice; the service was great and the food was excellent.

It was a blast! From what I can remember...

It was a bit windy on the day, but the atmosphere was quite nice, and we enjoyed it for about two hours. However, the food was just a light snack. My parents in their 70s also found it amusing.

当日は少々風が強かったのですが、かなり雰囲気がよく約２時間満喫しました。ただ、食事等はほんのつまみ程度です。
７０代の親も面白がっていました。

The sunset sailing on Friday was fully booked, so I participated in the afternoon sailing instead. We were the only Japanese people there, but the captain spoke Japanese well, so there were no issues at all. While luxury cruise ships are nice, feeling the waves and wind directly on a yacht is the best! I absolutely recommend it!

金曜日のサンセットセーリングが満席だったので、アフタヌーン セーリングに参加しました。
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、キャプテンが日本語が上手で、全然問題ありませんでした。豪華客船もいいけどヨットで波と風を直接に感じれて最高！絶対おすすめ！

excellent sunset sail. beyond expectations with staff and food. wonderful!

this was so lovely and we got to see a mother and calf whale...off season too...highly recommend. Staff was excellent...

Jon and his crew are hilarious and wonderful.
It's a good short trip around the bay that I highly recommend. Great for first times and repeat visitors. Excellent for kids!!!!

This cruise was short of wind and so no sails - on fault of the crew of course but it was disappointing. The crew was very good. The sun set was average. I was impressed with the boat itself. Nonetheless, we had a great time and would recommend it.

It was a fantastic experience. The staff was really nice and loved "high tide". The captain was funny and let you drive the boat for a little bit. Food was really good and the bartender will be your new best friend.
