All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

This was my first time participating with my family of seven. It was easy to make a reservation on the day, the staff were very friendly, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a very enjoyable experience.

今回初めて家族7人で参加させていただきました。予約も当日、簡単に取れスタッフがとても親切で、天候にも恵まれ非常に楽しかったです。

I wasn't very confident participating because I don't understand English well, but the cruise while viewing the Diamond Head from the boat and the sunset scenery became a wonderful memory! The Mai Tai cocktail was also delicious! I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

英語があまりわからずで参加でしたので少し不安がありましたが、船から見るダイヤモンドベッドや、夕日が沈む景色を見ながらのクルーズは素敵な思い出になりました！カクテルのマイタイも美味しかった！ハワイに行った時はまた参加したいです！

Delish dinner with great view points out your window the whole night!

we celebrated our anniversary on this gorgeous evening, sunset was spectacular and we even got to see whales!

Outstanding! A great crew, wonderful vibe and energy. We loved seeing the fireworks from the Catamaran. Would highly recommend!

My friends and i had a great time. staff was nice.

It can get very chilly.. be careful with the splash zone as well! Overall, the view was fantastic! We saw a full rainbow and everyone was all vibing together, enjoying the scenery. All of the members were very helpful and entertaining, they made sure everyone was having a great time. Drinks were pretty good, definitely hold onto your drinks, this booze cruise can get rocky!

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

Although the weather may impact your experience on this cruise, the crew doesn't let it get in the way of making it fun! The music blastic, if the rain is pouring they will make sure the boat feels the waves so that everyone can groove!

Everyone loved the ride and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu from way past the swimming point of the shore! The crew is entertaining and fun!

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

We saw humpback whale was breathing from the upper deck. Captain and the crew did a great job to trace the whale after the first sight. Good experience and learned a lot about humpback whale.

Joined morning whale watching cruise by Star of Honolulu. The cruise started from detailed explanation of naturist, and my sons enjoyed listening to the facts about humpback whales before actually seeing it afterwards.
We saw the whale right after departing the port and captain maneuver the ship very well so that we could chase and see the whale several times. Unfortunately the whale was not so entertaining this time and we couldn’t see live actions like tail slap or bleaching.
Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.
Good to know they will give another chance for free if you cannot see whale during the cruise.
Great experience for winter Hawaii visit!

It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

Although it was from a distance, I was really satisfied to see a whale for the first time.

There were several whale watching boats, but I think it was a good choice to select the Star of Honolulu, as the smaller boats tend to sway quite a bit.

遠目ではありましたが初めてクジラを見れてすごく満足でした


数隻ホエールウォッチングの船がありましたが小さい船は結構揺れるのでスターオブホノルル号を選択して良かったと思いました。

The scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. The Mai Tai was very delicious and since it was all-you-can-drink, I had quite a few. Everyone was cheerful and having a great time. When boarding, you enter the water a little, so shorter clothes might be better. Many people wore shorts. It felt a bit chilly, so I think it's good to have something to throw on. It was truly a wonderful time. I plan to use this again.

景色も雰囲気も最高でした。
マイタイがとても美味しく飲み放題なのでたくさん頂きました。
皆酔っぱらって陽気で楽しかったです。
乗船するとき海に少し入るので、短めの服がいいかも。
ショートパンツの方が多かったです。
肌寒く感じるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
本当に素敵な時間です。
また利用しようと思います。

We had a wonderful time! We were super lucky to see a lot of dolphins and whales. It was for sure a once in a lifetime adventure. The entire crew was awesome! Thank you so much!

The Friday sunset and firework cruise by Three Tiki Sailing was outstanding. The crew was fabulous and even took us to see some whales that were close by. There were plenty of great seats and lots of great picture opportunities. The crew was more than happy to take several selfies of my wife and I. I would highly recommend this tour.

The crew was so friendly and welcoming. My roommates and I went on our last day in Hawaii and it was definitely a highlight.

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした！
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高！パーティーも最高！クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました！

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます！ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです！

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました！
スタッフさん1名は少し日本語を話してくれます❤︎

the cruise itself was great, we went on a weekday so it was pretty empty in terms of other guests on board

on a side note: i lost my engagement ring and they located it and returned it to me. it was so kind of them and they went above and beyond to help me!

I encountered many whales and even saw a few dolphins, making it a very satisfying tour. When whales or dolphins appear, the staff will guide you on their direction, so I think it's hard to miss them. However, there is only one restroom available, so it's best to take care of that before boarding for peace of mind. Since it's a morning tour, it's also nice that you can schedule activities for the afternoon. (The departure point is near Aloha Tower, so exploring after disembarking is a good idea.)

沢山のクジラと出会えました。また、少しですがイルカも見れて大満足のツアーでした。クジラやイルカが現れた時にはスタッフの方が方角を教えてくれるので、見逃すことも少ないと思います。
ただ、トイレが1箇所しか無いので、乗船前に済ませておいた方が安心です。
午前中のツアーなので、昼からも予定が入れられるのも良いと思います。(発着場所が、アロハタワーの近くですので、下船後に探索するのもいいと思います。)

My first whale watching experience!
I happened to visit Hawaii during the season when whales can be seen, so I thought it was a rare opportunity and joined a tour.
About 20-30 minutes after boarding, we were able to see whales right away! The view is great from the upper deck, but since it's a bit far away, I recommend watching from the lower deck for a closer look. While we couldn't get extremely close, I was very moved to see a whale in person for the first time! The sea breeze was pleasant, and the whole experience of being on the boat was enjoyable.

初のホエールウォッチング！
たまたま鯨を見れる時期にハワイを訪れたので、なかなかない機会だと思いツアーに参加しました。
乗船してから20-30分ぐらいですぐに鯨を見ることができました！上の階だと見晴らしは良いですが、少し距離があるので、下の階でより近くで見るのがおすすめです。かなり近い距離とはいきませんが、生の鯨を初めて見られてとても感動しました！潮風も気持ちよく、乗船自体も楽しかったです。

We had an amazing experience on the sunset raft whale watching excursion. Our guides, Luke and Nick, were superb and told us so many facts about the whales. They were attentive to both my teenagers and my 9 year old, providing them with snacks and drinks and making sure that they had a great experience. We saw whales breaching and babies swimming close to the raft. It was the highlight of our trip.

I was worried about whether I would be able to see anything since I participated in late March, but shortly after we set sail, a whale appeared! It spouted water and I was able to see its tail as well. However, it was a small whale and it was just a brief moment.

After that, there were a couple of brief appearances of small whales in the first half, but they were really just for an instant. In the second half, we didn't see anything at all, which left a feeling of disappointment.

Still, I’m glad I got to see a whale, even if just once in my life. If you imagine a big whale spouting water or slapping its large tail on the surface of the sea, you might end up feeling like, "Is that all there is?"

3月下旬に参加のため、見られるのか心配していたものの、出航して間もなく、くじらが現れてくれました。潮を吹いて、尾っぽも見ることが出来ました。しかし、小さなクジラで一瞬の出来事でした。
その後、前半に2回くらい小さなクジラが一瞬現れてくれたものの、本当に一瞬でした。後半は全く見られず、尻すぼみ感がありました。
それでも、一生に一度でもクジラを見られて良かったです。
大きな鯨が現れて潮を吹いてくれるとか、大きな尻尾を海水面に叩きつけるとか想像を膨らませて参加すると、そんなもんか〜という感想になるかもしれません。

The crew was super friendly and walked around checking on everyone throughout the cruise; the ride out and back had lovely views of Honolulu, and the captain stopped the boat so we could watch a whale swimming the waves as the sun went down - beautiful ride!

I participated in early March.
I had a great time on a cruise overlooking the coast of Hawaii.
Since you never know where the whales will appear, we only saw them for a moment, but we were able to see a whale's tail and it spouting water. The captain worked hard to adjust the boat's position so we could see the whales.
The boat was large, so I didn't feel much rocking, but I think it would be reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Also, it was windy and cold on the water, so I recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket. It was chilly in short sleeves.

3月上旬に参加しました。
ハワイの沿岸部を眺めるクルーズで楽しく過ごすことができました。
クジラはどこに出るかわからないので、見えたのは一瞬でしたが、私達はクジラのしっぽと潮吹きしているところを見ることができました。船長ががんばってクジラが見えるように船の位置を調整してくれていました。
船は大きいので、そこまで揺れが強いとは感じませんでしたが、酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心かなと思います。また、海の上は風が強く寒いので、長袖の上着を持っていくのがおすすめです。半袖だと寒かったです。

My experience with the whale watching activity was truly unforgettable. From the moment we boarded the boat, the anticipation and excitement were palpable. The crew was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about marine life, which enhanced the overall experience.

As we ventured into the open waters, the captain skillfully navigated us to prime whale sighting spots. The vastness of the ocean combined with the breathtaking scenery created a serene atmosphere, perfect for observing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Witnessing the sheer size and grace of the whales as they surfaced and dove back into the depths left me in awe. It was mesmerizing to see them glide effortlessly through the water, showcasing their majestic beauty.

I have been to Hawaii many times, and this was my second time seeing whales, but my eldest daughter had never had the opportunity, so we decided to participate this time. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much since I didn't see many last time, but perhaps the location was good, as a mother and her three calves appeared alongside the boat.

ハワイは何度も来ていて私はクジラは2度目でしたが長女は機会がなかったので今回参加する事にしました。前回余り見れなかったので正直期待していませんでしたがポイントが良かったのか3頭の親子が船と並走するように現れてくれました。

I participated in the morning session on March 8. There were designated meeting points at nearby hotels, and we took a bus to the port. Most participants were Japanese, and the staff didn't seem to speak Japanese particularly well. There were plenty of Japanese signs and information, so I didn't have much trouble.

As for the whales, we could see their tails and spouts from a distance, but it wasn't satisfying. Also, it was quite windy and cold on the boat, so I felt that a jacket was necessary rather than just a light layer. I wouldn't recommend wearing shorts either.

It seems that this is the tail end of the whale-watching season, so I guess it's understandable that we couldn't see them well, which is my impression after returning.

3/8の午前中の回で参加しました。
近隣のホテルごとに集合場所が設けられ、バスに乗って港まで行きます。
参加者は日本人が多め、スタッフは特に日本語ができる様子はありませんでした。
案内の表示などでは日本語も多くて困ることは少なかったです。
肝心のクジラはというと、少し離れた場所で尻尾が見えたり、潮吹きが見えたりといった感じで満足とは言えないくらいでした。
また、船上は風が強くて寒いので、羽織るもの程度ではなく上着が必要かなと感じました。短パンもお勧めできません。
ホエールウォッチングとしてはギリギリの時期らしいのでしっかり見れなかったのも仕方ないかなというのが帰ってからの感想です。
