All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

It would be nice if the back ground music was not exist. Since the sailing time only with soft wave sound, would be my best prefered environment.

I had wanted to go on the Mai Tai Catamaran since last year. It departs right in front of the Sheraton where I was staying. The two skippers were really enthusiastic and it was a lot of fun. There were three groups of Japanese participants, including a baby. The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful.

去年から行きたかったマイタイカタマラン号。宿泊していたシェラトンの真ん前から出航します。スキッパーの二人がノリノリで楽しかったです。
日本人は3組参加。赤ちゃんもいました。サンセットは息を呑む美しさでした。

This was a great cruise! The team onboard was extremely friendly and engaging! Cocktail election was perfect and appetizers were on point! Although it gives you the choice to book with kids, I would caution taking kids who are under the age only because the group of passengers were clearly there for a good time. Overall great experience

My wife and I participated together. We went out to sea on a catamaran, enjoyed snorkeling, made our way to the surfboard relying on our safety lines, and spent a thrilling half day. During sunset, they played ballads, and we were able to have a wonderful time. The cost performance was excellent. Thank you ❤️

妻と二人で参加させて頂きました。カタマランで沖に出て、シュノーケリングを楽しんで、命綱を頼りにサーフボードまでたどり着き、スリリングな半日を過ごしました。サンセットタイムにはバラードを流して頂き素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました。コスパ最高でした。ありがとう❤️

The fireworks lasted about 5 to 10 minutes, but they were beautiful to watch. The night view was also stunning. The staff brought drinks to us when we called out, making it easy to enjoy. There are restrooms available, but I recommend using the restroom before boarding the boat, as the ones on the boat are not ideal. The meeting point was hard to find just by looking at the paper, and I got a bit lost and flustered. I suggest allowing plenty of time and asking people for directions. I think it would be even more enjoyable if the boat could increase its speed while moving. I imagined a more leisurely experience while taking in the same scenery.

花火は、5分？10分ぐらいでしたが、見れてキレイでした。夜景もキレイでした。お酒は、声をかけて運んでくださるので、飲みやすかったです。トイレは、ありますが、船の中のトイレは、使わないで事前にトイレに行っておくことをおすすめします。集合場所は、紙を見ただけでは、わからず、迷いあせりました。時間に余裕をもって、人に聞きながら行くことをおすすめします。船のスピードを上げて移動してもらえるとさらに楽しいかなと思いました。同じ景色をのんびり見るイメージです。

The boat, the sea, and all the staff were wonderful and fun.

I look forward to next time!

⛴️、海、️､､､及びスタッフの皆さんは、素敵楽しかった。

Went on this sunset cruise with my wife on our honeymoon and gotta say it was definitely a highlight! Big Ryan was super cool too

Exceptional cruise! Great service; friendly staff; fantastic entertainment; overall experience was outstanding!!! Highly recommend!!

The people operating the cruise made it fantastic! I wouldn’t think any other sunset sail would be as good as what these three gentlemen did. Would recommend to everyone.

A really lovely balance of getting to see the Na Pali and enjoying dinner while getting the gorgeous views!

A wonderful event that my husband and kiddos all loved- a memory made together!

It's a very convenient boat trip to consider entering the sea, starting from a location near the canal's seaside exit, within walking distance from our hotel. We returned still in our swimsuits.

We moved out to Waikiki Beach (about a 10-minute ride?), enjoyed activities like diving and playing in the sea, and by the time we were fully satisfied, it was sunset. We watched the sun sink into the ocean on our way back. The timing was just right. The water temperature was neither too cold nor too warm. I realized that it's easier to float in the sea than in the pool.

The boat had a bar counter where you could buy drinks. The crew was cheerful and serious, making us feel safe and able to enjoy ourselves. I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance.

運河の海側の出口近く、我々のホテルから歩けるところからの出発で、海に入ることを考えるととても便利な船遊びです。帰りも水着のままで帰ってきました。
ワイキキビーチ沖まで移動して(10分くらい？)、飛び込みなど海遊びをして、満喫した頃に日没の時間。海に沈む夕日を眺めて帰ってくる。時間配分もちょうどよかったです。水温は冷たすぎず、ぬる過ぎず。海の方がプールより浮きやすいのを実感しました。
船には、バーカウンターがあり、飲み物を買うことができます。
クルーはみな陽気で真面目な印象で、安心して楽しめました。
事前の酔い止め服用は、お勧めします。

This tour was absolutely amazing! I would book this again in a heartbeat. The staff was great. The ride was great. The food was great. The drinks were great. I honestly can’t say great enough. They highly exceeded our expectations!

It was overall an enjoyable experience. I had minor gripes I don’t recall anyone asking how we would like our steak cooked, some were medium, some were medium rare, I know it was a busy day but we found a hair. I enjoyed the drink selection and the bartender did a great job. The servers and staff were great. It was rather warm and it wasn’t until the way back that someone decided to open the “plastic windows” to allow more of a breeze. The Luau portion was just as enjoyable as everything else. I truly had a great time, and would definitely recommend.

The upgraded cruise was well worth it for us, the food was divine!

Although the weak yen has resulted in considerable expenses, since I was going to board anyway, I booked a 5-star experience with fireworks on Friday and a course meal.

From the moment I boarded, I was guided to a special floor via the elevator, and the dinner set was nicely arranged at my seat, creating an excellent atmosphere.

Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and after the luxurious meal, there was a dinner show, followed by the fireworks viewed from the ship, which were breathtaking. Everyone moved to the side where the fireworks could be seen, making the boat feel like it was tilting a bit (laughs).

It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii. I highly recommend the 5-star experience!

円安でかなりの出費にはなりますが、どうせ乗船するなら、金曜日の花火付きで、コース料理も食べられる5スターを予約しました。

乗船する時から、エレベーターでの特別フロアへのご案内、席にはディナーセットがきちんと用意され、雰囲気も抜群。

サンセットはもちろんのこと、豪華なお食事の後はディナーショー、そして船上から見る花火は、圧巻でした。みんな花火が見える方に移動するので、気持ち船が傾いているような(笑)

ハワイ観光の良い思い出になりました。
5スター、おすすめです！

I was very excited to go on this activity, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. When you arrive at check-in, they will not validate your parking (which is the opposite of the information you get in your confirmation email) so expect to pay $15 for parking and not $4. Next, they will take some pictures in front of a wall mural before you go into the boat. They don't give you a choice of whether you want to be photographed or not and they do not tell you that the pictures will cost $50 if you want them. The pictures actually came out nice so I asked if I could just buy one and they said that was not possible...way to be accommodating to your guests. The time on the cruise is way too long and they could really use a host that sounds excited to be there. The singer was fine but keeps the energy too mellow, you could see that everyone was ready to get off the cruise after an hour. I specifically chose this type of boat expecting that it would be more stable and I wouldn't get seasick but I did. I'd say if you really want a sunset cruise experience, I'd try out a catamaran since the vibe on those looks a lot more lively and friendly than on this bigger vessel...The best part of the cruise was of course the views (the bartender and server were nice as well.)

It was a beautiful evening on the ocean. The sunset was hidden behind clouds but you could see the rays from the sun peaking thru. The food was flavorful and an abundance of it. With a tremendous variety to choose from.

I participated in late March. As the title suggests, I wasn't able to see any whales, but the cruise ship was very nice, and it was a valuable experience to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. I was offered a coupon due to not seeing any whales, but since my stay in Hawaii was short, I declined. If I had been able to see whales, it would definitely have been a five-star experience.

3月下旬に参加しました。タイトルのとおり、クジラを見ることはできませんでしたが、クルーズ船はとても良かったですし、船からワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドを見ることができたのは貴重な経験でした。クジラを見ることができなかったことで、クーポンをいただく提案も受けましたが、ハワイの滞在は短かったので、お断りしました。
もしクジラを見ることが出来たら、間違いなく☆5つです。

I was thrilled just to encounter a pod of dolphins up close, and then a dolphin jumped right in front of me, not once but twice! *^O^* Then a flying fish leaped out of the water and glided by! The three crew members were all friendly, kind, and delightful, making it the best two-hour sunset sailing experience! I want to participate every time I visit Oahu.

間近でイルカの群れに遭遇しただけでも感激なのに、目の前でイルカがジャンプしました、2回も *^O^* そして目の前をトビウオが水上に飛び出し滑空！クルー3名の方々は皆さん気さくで親切で愉快で、最高のサンセットセーリング2時間でした！毎年オアフ島を訪れる度に参加したいと思ってます。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Cruise was amazing! My group had an awesome time, food was delicious, show was amazing as well. I was hoping for an actual Luau with the fire show. The service was great, very welcoming. Highly recommended!

Boarding Day: Friday
Boarding Course: 5 Star

If you're going to board, it's best to do so on a Friday when the Hilton fireworks are held. The fireworks themselves last about 5 minutes, but the combination of the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks from the sea is breathtaking.
Unfortunately, the sunset was not very impressive due to the clouds. I guess that's just luck...
However, the dinner was extremely delicious.
Also, the live performance was great.
I had previously boarded a 3 Star cruise, but I think I will only choose 5 Star in the future.
While it is more expensive compared to 3 Star, you should definitely go for 5 Star.

乗船曜日:金曜
乗船コース:5スター

乗船するなら、ヒルトンの花火が行われる金曜です。花火自体は5分程度ですが、海上からワイキキの夜景と花火のコラボは絶景です。
サンセットは雲があり、感動する感じではなかったのが残念でした。こればかりは運かと…。
でも、ディナーが非常に美味しかったです。
また、生演奏がよかった。
以前に3スターに乗船したことありましたが、今後は5スターしか選ばないと思います。
3スターに比べれば値は張りますが、5スターにすべきです。

We participated with a family of eight right at sunset! It was amazing to enjoy the beautiful scenery while sipping on our favorite drinks like Mai Tais and pineapple juice! Families with small children were having fun going in and out of the deck and the room. We were able to leave our bags in the room and enjoy ourselves freely on the deck with drinks in hand. The restrooms were separated by gender, which was reassuring.
Next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to join again at sunset!

ちょうどサンセットの時間帯に家族8人で参加しました！　マイタイ、パイナップルジュース…それぞれが好きなドリンクを飲みながら本当に素敵な景色で最高でした！小さなお子さんを連れて参加の方はデッキに出たり部屋に入ったりして楽しまれてました。荷物も部屋に置くことができてドリンクを片手にデッキの好きな所で自由にそれぞれが楽しんでいました。トイレも男女別々にあって安心できました。
次ハワイに行った時もまたサンセットの時間に参加したいです！

We participated as a couple. Since the explanations were in English, I didn't understand everything, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. It was a fun time talking with the Japanese people who were also on board. I was a bit worried about needing the restroom after drinking too many Mai Tais, but there was a restroom on the boat, so I felt relieved. I was a little surprised to find a restroom in such a place, but several people, both men and women, used it.

The night view of Waikiki from the sea was amazing, and the Hilton fireworks were a different experience compared to viewing them from land, making it feel luxurious. At one point, we raised the sails and went sailing, which was quite fast and refreshing.

夫婦二人で参加しました。
英語での説明なのでよくわからなかったんですが、雰囲気で盛り上がることができました。
同乗していた日本人の方ともお話できて楽しい時間でした。
マイタイを飲み過ぎるとトイレが心配されてますが、船にはトイレがあるので安心です。こんなところにトイレが、ちょっとビックリでしたが、男性、女性とも何人かの方が利用してました。

洋上から眺めるワイキキの夜景は素晴らしく、ヒルトンの花火は陸から見るのとは一味違い、贅沢な気分でした。
途中、帆を上げてセーリング、結構な速さで爽快でした。

There are various sunset cruises, but I chose this one because it also offers water activities. There were hardly any Japanese people, but it was more fun than I imagined! Two cute dogs greeted us. I'm not great with animals, but they were very calm, so it was totally fine. We jumped into the sea from the boat using a slide and floated on a float! We were lucky to see a big double rainbow! Drinks are available for a fee starting at $3. I enjoyed a cocktail. It says no outside food or drink, but there were people with their own bottles. There's a shop in the harbor waiting area after check-in, so some people bought shave ice or soft serve and ate while boarding. There are plenty of floats to attach around your waist, so even if you're not a strong swimmer, I think you'll enjoy it. Please make sure to wear a swimsuit!

サンセットクルーズは色々ありますが、海遊びもできるとの事で選びました。
日本人はほとんどいなかったけど、想像以上に楽しかった！
可愛いワンチャンが2匹お出迎え。わたくし動物は苦手ですが、とても大人しいので全然大丈夫でした。
ボートから海にスライダーで飛び込んだり、フロートで浮いたり！大きなダブルレインボーも見えてラッキー！
ドリンクは有料で3ドルから。私はカクテルを楽しみました。持ち込み不可とありますがマイボトル持ってる人もいましたよ。受付後のハーバーの待合でショップがあるのでシェイブアイスやソフトクリームを買って、食べながら乗り込む人も。
腰に付けるフロートがたくさんあるので、(ライフジャケットは限りあるかな？)泳ぎが苦手でも楽しめると思います。ぜひ水着着用で参加してください！

I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time seeing fireworks, and I booked the Fireworks Cruise. It was wonderful to enjoy the fireworks while sipping drinks, and I didn't experience any seasickness, plus the cruise went all the way to Diamond Head, making for a very enjoyable time. The only downside was that the meeting point was hard to find.

Since I was staying at the Sheraton, I thought it would be easy to get to the designated spot, but I couldn't figure it out even while looking out at the coast. When the boat finally arrived, I assumed it was ours, but when I asked the crew, they told me our boat was docked on the other side of the Sheraton. I realized I had gone to the wrong meeting point just in time to barely make it for departure, and I had to run.

Regarding the meeting point, the explanation of "go past the Sheraton pool and head to the beach" is a bit misleading for those staying at the Sheraton, as it's easier to exit towards the Royal Hawaiian side. I think it would be more helpful to specify the Hale Koa side instead.

ハワイは何度か来ていますが、花火は初めてで、ファイアークルーズを予約しました。お酒を飲みながらゆっくり花火がみられて、心配していた船酔いもなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルーズがあって、とても楽しい時間でした。唯一のマイナスポイントは集合場所がわかりにくかったこと。
シェラトンに泊まっていましたので指定の場所まですぐのはずが、海岸を見渡してもわからず。
やっと船が来たので、てっきりそれだと思っていましたが、船員さんに聞くと私たちが乗る船はシェラトンの向こう側に泊まると。集合場所を間違えている事がわかったのが出航に間に合うかギリギリの時間で、慌てて走りました。集合場所について「シェラトンのプールの横を通って海岸に出る」という説明ではシェラトンに泊まっているとロイヤルハワイアン側に出るのが楽なので、ハレクラニ側と記載された方が親切だと思います。

It was a lovely experience! Crew was amazing and entertainment was fun. Food was also very good. Only issue I had was I ordered 2 Mai tias. One alcoholic ,one non alcoholic and they charged me same price for each…$10 a piece. I do not think a drink that only contained fruit juice and no alcohol should have been the same price.
Other then that, it was a beautiful cruise

We set sail at 5:30 PM while it was still bright, enjoying the view of Waikiki from the sea, which is something you don't often get to see, along with free drinks. We also enjoyed the changing sunset, and the staff took photos for us. By the time we returned to Waikiki, it was completely nighttime, and we were able to enjoy the various views of the Waikiki skyline from the sea.

まだ明るいじかんの17:30に出港で、普段はなかなか見ることの少ない海からのワイキキの景色を楽しみながらフリードリンクをいただきました。
変わりゆくサンセットも堪能しスタッフの方が写真撮影もしてくださいました。
ワイキキに戻る時間はすっかり夜景時間となり、イロイロな海からのワイキキの街並みも楽しめました。

Great staff, drinks, music, and view of the fireworks.

Wonderful private charter experience. Captain Michael and Gretchen were wonderful - and so attentive. I highly recommend this company - one of the best experiences on the Big Island - don’t miss it.
