All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Food and service was good. Views were outstanding. Nice entertainment.

The whole experience was relaxing and Nice.It was quite windy .
One complimentary drink was provided .

Beautiful sunset
A nice ride on the water
Guys were so awesome and accommodating made sure it was a great experience for everyone

We had a great time. We saw dolphins, turtles, and a mom and baby humpback whale. The baby was breaching over and over; incredible to watch! The crew was funny and informative and helpful. It was a really enjoyable experience!

The breeze was pleasant, and it was a very enjoyable cruise! The captain spotted a whale and chased after it several times. From a distance, we could see the spray and the tail!
At one point, the boat stopped, and those who wanted to swim went into the water. We didn't swim because we thought it might get cold after getting out of the sea.
Indeed, during this time of year, it gets chilly after sunset. I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket.
Also, the night view of Waikiki was very beautiful!
I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

風が気持ち良く、とても楽しいクルーズでした！キャプテンがくじらを発見し、何度も追いかけてくれました。遠くからですが、しぶきと尾ひれが見えました！
途中で船を停めてくれて、海に入りたい人は泳いでいました。私たちは海から出た後、寒くなりそうだったので、泳ぎませんでした。
やはり、この時期は、日が沈んでからは、肌寒くなってきました。長袖の上着を持ってきていて良かったと思いました。
そして、ワイキキの夜景がとても綺麗でした！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

The food and atmosphere were great. I chose the 5-star option to watch the Hilton fireworks from the deck on Friday, but people from the lower floor started removing the chain from the stairs and crowded onto the deck before the fireworks started. After quite some time, the staff began to check if people were 5-star guests, but I thought it was too late.

お料理も雰囲気も良かったです。金曜日でデッキからヒルトンの花火を見るために5スターにしたのですが、花火の時間前から下のフロアーの人が、階段のチェーンを外しデッキに入ってくて混雑。
だいぶ経ってからスタッフが５スターかどうか確認を始めましたが遅いかと思います。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery without any waves. Next time, I will sign up for a Japanese tour!

クジラが見れなかったのが残念でしたでも波もなく素晴らしい景色堪能しました☺️次回は日本語ツアー申込します❗

I was wondering if I would be able to see anything in December, but I boarded the boat with a little hope. The cheerful and polite staff welcomed us warmly. Despite the strong sea breeze, they called out to each group of passengers and took photos one after another. I got to see the whale I had been longing for and the spouting water. I am grateful to the staff who anchored the boat in the sea and waited patiently. The vast blue ocean stretched out as far as the eye could see. I hope to ride this boat again someday for whale watching. By then, I’m sure I’ll be able to meet the whales…

12月ではまだ見れないかな？と思いながら、少しだけ期待もして搭乗した船。
陽気で丁寧な応対のお兄さん達。
強い海風に煽られながらも、グループ毎の乗客に声をかけて、次々に写真を撮ってくれた。
会いたかったくじら。見たかった汐吹。
海上で船を停泊させて粘ってくれた、お兄さん達に、感謝。青い大海原がずっと先まで見渡せた。
いつかまたフォーエルウォッチングをしにこの船に乗ろう。その時は、きっと、くじらに合えるように…

The private cruise for our family of ten was comfortable. First, we spotted a sea turtle in the bay! After that, when we went out to sea, a pod of dolphins came right around the boat, and we were able to see them up close. Then we headed out to search for whales and were able to see them as well, which was amazing.

While moving to the snorkeling spot, we enjoyed some snacks, making for a pleasant cruising experience. I thought it would have been good to bring a change of clothes since there was a restroom at the dock where we could change.

家族10人での貸し切りクルーズで快適でした。まずは入り江でウミガメを発見！その後海に出ると、イルカの群れが船の周りにまで来てくれて、たっぷり見ることができました。その後クジラを探しに沖まででて、クジラも見ることができ最高でした。
シュノーケリングのポイントまで移動する間にスナックもいただいて快適なクルージングでした。
船着き場にトイレがあり着替えもそこでできたようなので着替えを持っていけば良かったと思いました。

Sadly due to traffic I missed the boat by a minute I had checked how long it would take to get there when planning my leave time and I was quoted 45 every time when I was staying only 25 miles away however traffic was crazy and it ended up being an hour and a half drive we pulled into parking at exactly 1745 and the boat was pulling out as I was running to it. Gave a rating of Good because the boat left exactly on time and if I had been on board that would have been great

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

With anticipation, I set sail, feeling the pleasant breeze and gazing at the coastline of Waikiki Beach. However, as time went by, my feelings became complicated with disappointment and sadness about not being able to see much. But when the boat finally reached the point where dolphins gather, everyone started taking pictures, and somehow that helped distract me a little.

As for my thoughts, I felt that we needed to go a bit further out to see more. Also, since the boat rocked quite a bit, I thought medication would be necessary.

期待を持ちながら、出航し気持ちいい風を感じながら、ワイキキビーチの海岸を眺め、海を見つめていましたが、時間がどんどん経つにつれ、段々見れないことに気持ちが、落ち込むことと、残念に思うことに複雑になってきましたが、最後イルカの集まるポイント！？に船が着くとみんな写真をパシャパシャと、何となくそれで少し、気がまぎれたようなかんじになりました！？
感想としては、もう少し沖に出ないと、見れるものも見れないのではと思った。
また、船が、だいぶ揺れるので、薬は必要と思った。

The tour was conducted only in English, but even for us, who hardly speak any English, we managed just fine. It's not guaranteed that you'll definitely see whales, but they extended the time by about an hour beyond the scheduled time, and we were able to see them. I was really happy that they were so flexible.

Even though I had seen Waikiki from the ocean on TV, the actual scenery was amazing. Even if we hadn't seen any whales, it was a tour that left us completely satisfied! If I come to Hawaii during the whale watching season again, I will definitely want to join this tour.

ツアー自体は英語のみの案内なのですが、英語がほとんどできない私達でもなんとかなりました。
クジラは必ず見えるとはもちろん確定されていません。ただ、予定していた時刻より1h時間ほど延長してくださり無事に見ることができました。ここまで融通を効かせてくださることも本当に嬉しかったですし
沖から見るワイキキはテレビで見たことがあっても実際の風景は素晴らしく、仮にクジラが見えなかったとしても十分満足ができるツアーでした！
またホエールウォッチングができる時期にハワイに来たら必ず参加したいツアーです。

Such a great experience!
Crew was great and made the whale watching excursion wonderful.

My friends and I had a blast on the Ke Kai Waikiki sunset cocktail cruise, and seriously can't wait till we can go again!

The boat's brand spanking new and seriously comfy, and the drinks? Tasty and on tap! Props to the crew for keeping the glasses full and snapping awesome pics. Heads up, though, the nets mean splashes if you're cruising to Diamond Head. I got totally soaked, but it was part of the fun!

Sunset views? 10/10. Oh, and don't forget to wear sandals or flip-flops since you have to take off your shoes and walk through water to get on board the boat :)

Hella chill vibe, perfect sunset, and a splashy adventure, and I totally recommend it!

Everything was great. The hosts of the boat were all very personable and very friendly with a good sense of humor! Their mai tais were GREAT, I don't care for mai tais because of the dark rum but they do theirs differently and i loved their drinks. Very calming, good music and great drinks. I would definitely do this again

The fireworks at the Hilton on Friday lasted about 10 minutes. The Mai Tai cruise offered unlimited cocktails, and I had three cocktails, but they made them without a hint of annoyance. The night view was great, and since it was the end of the year, it was a bit cold, so you might need long sleeves.

金曜日ヒルトンの花火は10分くらいで終わりました。マイタイ号はカクテル等飲み放題でわたくしはカクテル3杯飲みましたが、嫌な顔ひとつせず作ってくれました。
夜景がいいのはもちろん年末だったので、少し寒いので、長袖は要るかも。

What an evening to celebrate an anniversary! Fabulous food and performers.

Is the meat top quality?
Are you serving the wrong grade of meat?
Even if you're drunk from alcohol, shortcuts in cooking will be noticed.

It's at the same level as the curry meat from the Deck at Queen Kapiolani; I can't believe it's the same meat I had for breakfast...
The hula ended in three minutes.
I don't think one visit is enough.
I'm commenting from inside the ship. If it were enjoyable and delicious, that kind of time wouldn't be normal.
Not worth giving a tip.

お肉は最高ランク？
肉のランクを間違って提供していませんか？
アルコールで、酔っても手抜き料理はバレますよ。

クイーンカピオラニのデックのカレー肉と同レベル、まさか朝食べたお肉と同じとは…。
フラも３分で終了
一度行けば十分ではないでしょうか？
今、船内でコメントしています。楽しく美味しければその様な時間は普通ありません。
チップ渡す価値なし

The weather we had was slightly less than perfect but we had an absolute blast with the crew, and we even got to see a few whales. All around a good time

On the day, we were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best sunset! The boat was very clean, and it had a restroom, which was reassuring.

当日、良い天気に恵まれ、最高のサンセットを見ることができました！
船はとっても綺麗で、トイレもあるので安心です。

this was the best 1st day in waikiki activity you can do .
the crew were fantastic and very entertaining . my daughter said she has a new dad called Amos ! he was charming
thank you again for a wonderful afternoon.
highly recommend .

I have been on large ships for dinner cruises, but I rarely have the opportunity to ride on a sailboat or a yacht with an outboard motor. This time, I got to experience a catamaran, and it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time on one, and I had a wonderful time. Everyone stayed on deck, feeling the wind, and unlike large ships, we were often rocked by the waves, which made it feel like we were really out at sea. Although it was unfortunate that there were many clouds and I couldn't enjoy the sunset, the view of Diamond Head and the illuminated Waikiki hotels from the sea was beautiful. I was also surprised by the restroom on the boat. Be careful not to drink too many Mai Tais, as you might get seasick. We departed from the beach, but the meeting point is somewhat difficult to find for those not staying at the Halekulani or Sheraton, so it's better to scout the location in advance. It's an activity that makes you feel like you're in paradise.

ディナークルーズなどで大型船に乗る事はあったが、セールと船外機つきヨットに乗せてもらう機会は滅多になく、カタマランという形式で、こりゃもうタマラン！今回初めての乗りでとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。皆様ずっと甲板にいて、風に吹かれ大型船と異なり波に揺らされる事も多いので、海に出ているという実感を味わえます。雲が多くて残念ながら夕陽を浴びる事はなかったものの、海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキホテル群のイルミも又美しい。又、船に備え付けられているトイレにはビックリしました。マイタイの飲み過ぎには注意、酔ってマイッタします。ビーチからの出帆ですが、ハレクラニやシェラトン宿泊者以外はやや分かり難い場所が待ち合わせなので、事前に下見しておいてベター。マタイキタイと思わせしめるアクティビティだ。

It was truly amazing. The convenience was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone was super excited. It seems that if you're lucky, you can see whales. I enjoyed unlimited drinks and got quite tipsy!

本当に最高でした
手軽さも良いし雰囲気も最高で
みんなテンション爆上がり
運が良いとクジラ見れるみたいです
飲み放題で沢山飲んで酔えました！

On 12/19/23 I went on Star of Honolulu, and participated in the Pacific Star Buffet Package. Finding the boat was easy due to it's large size. Walking up we were greeted by real hula dancers, that really set the vibe for the evening. Upon boarding the ship there was staff along the way that assisted in finding your section.

The ship is very large in size, and was so much fun to explore. The top deck was my favorite part, but definitely bring a sweater it can get a bit chilly! I recommend visiting the top deck as the sun is setting for your perfect kodak moment on the water, and once again when it gets' dark to see the beautiful city lights, and view of Diamond Head Crater.

The severs were very studious, and genuine when checking on our table. The buffet line went very quickly, hardly a wait at all! The food was delicious, with many options for all dietary needs. Being mainly plant based I was impressed by all the plant based sides, my favorite was the tofu salad! They even have a vegan patty upon request.

The show, and production was very engaging for the whole family. If you are traveling with a large group including children, I recommend the Pacific Star package there is something for everyone!

I don't understand Japanese at all, but it was a fun cruise. We go quite far offshore. It's great that drinks are free. Since we go further offshore than I expected, the waves might be a bit concerning, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication before boarding.

日本語は全く通じませんが、楽しいクルーズでした。けっこう沖合までいきます。飲み物がフリーなのはありがたいです。思ったより沖合にいくためか、少し波が気になりますので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んで乗船した方が良いかもしれません。

The team at Waikiki Sailing were a well-oiled sailing machine! The directions provided in the confirmation email were clear and easy to follow. Check in was smooth and the beach boarding only splashed us up to our shins. We decided to sit on the catamaran netting on a particularly windy day and were warned about getting splashed multiple times. We endured the soaking and had an amazing time, plus the crew helped grab our empties and snacks so we could continue to enjoy. I recommend Waikiki Sailing 10,000 times over!

The fireworks on Friday were amazing. I stayed at the Hilton, but I got a bit lost finding the meeting place, which turned into a bit of an adventure, but that was fun too!

金曜日の花火は、最高でした。
ヒルトン宿泊でしたが集合場所が、少し迷ってしまい珍道中でしたがそれも楽しかったです♪

According to the captain, if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We were in Honolulu the day before, and a whale appeared, which heightened our spirits and allowed us to have an unexpectedly wonderful time.

キャプテンによると、運が良ければイルカが見れるとのこと。私たちはホノルル前日であったが、クジラがあらわれ、機運が高まったことから予想以上に素晴らしい時間を過ごせた。

We would love to munch at this buffet again, everything was so flavorful! The evening was a wonderful experience.
