All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I participated with my best friend couple, making four of us. There were few Japanese people, which added to the exotic feel. Then, everyone jumped into the water off Waikiki! I can't swim well, but I jumped into the beautiful sea. I was nervous, but it was fun. Enjoying the swim and sunset had a different charm compared to a big boat, and I made great memories.

親友夫婦と4人で参加しました。日本人は少なく異国感も充分。するとワイキキの沖でなんと皆んな飛び込むではないですか！
自分はまともに泳げないけど綺麗な海に飛び込んで､焦ったけど楽しかった。
大きな船とは違う魅力でスイム&サンセットを満喫､いい思い出が出来ました。

Im sorry but this was the best American boat experience ever. When they say open bar they mean it! Great staff, great experience, food icing on the cake this should be 200 per person!!!!!!

The staff at the Outrigger's Holokai Catamaran were very pleasant, and once we set sail, the crew's service was also wonderful. We enjoyed the swells on the yacht while sipping rum mixed with passion fruit juice.

Around 7:30, the fireworks from the Hilton began, and we got more cocktails from the all-you-can-drink option, which added to the excitement.

As Japanese people, we might be a bit shy, but we enjoyed the cheerful and lively atmosphere created by the Western guests.

It became a very good memory. Thank you!

アウトリガーのホロカイカタマラン受付スタッフの対応が感じ良くて、出航すると、船頭？さんたちの対応が、また、素晴らしく、ヨットで波によるうねりを楽しみながら、ラム酒のパッションフルーツジュース割りをいただきました。
7時半過ぎ位から、ヒルトンの花火が始まり、飲み放題のカクテルをおかわりして、盛り上がりました。
我々日本人は恥ずかしがり屋かもしれませんが、西洋人の方々の陽気で明るい、多騒ぎを楽しませてもらいました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

By far the best sunset cruise ever!!
Very kind and friendly staff, amazing service. Great vibes. Recommend to bring shoes that you can get wet.
Drinks were great!

Staff were good. Clean boat. Beverage ok. Tour was not interesting.

Beautiful night, crew had loads of energy made the night that much better. Would recommend to others and do again.

The staff did a tremendously good job making it feel like a special event, which of course for us it was. They never gave the impression that it was just another night on the water. And their attentiveness to my wife's dairy allergy was above and beyond! The libations were sturdy...meaning none of the cocktails were watered down. I had the Old Fashioned and the bourbon was very much in evidence and flavorful. The food was also commendable. My wife's beef was tender and tasty, a very good medium rare. My fish with its caper sauce was delectable. All in all we had a delightful experience and can highly recommend Trilogy.

I went on the 5-Star cruise. I made a reservation with the Celebration Plan (guaranteed window seat) and paid for it, but I was booked under the regular plan. While the manager was confirming my reservation, I couldn't eat the food in front of me for about 30 minutes after being seated. In the end, it turned out that the reservation from VELTRA to Star of Honolulu was under the regular plan, and I was treated as such until the end. I never expected something like this to happen. I'm very disappointed.

Also, it seems that the shuttle bus got caught in traffic, so by the time we arrived, dinner had already started, and other guests who arrived earlier were enjoying their meals.

I thought there might be a separate entrance for the 5-Star guests, but there wasn't anything like that. We all lined up at one entrance to board the ship.

The schedule mentioned that there would be a welcome reception by the captain on the exclusive deck on the top floor for 5-Star guests, but there was nothing of the sort. We were just guided to line up and proceed into the ship.

The food wasn't particularly delicious; it was average. It was mentioned that the meat could be cut with a fork, but it was more like something you could manage to cut with a knife.

I have been to Hawaii several times, and regarding the Hilton fireworks, I've seen them from various places, but sitting on the beach south of the Rainbow Tower is the best spot. Watching the fireworks from the cruise ship was an experience, but since it was from a distance, it lacked impact.

Additionally, guests from the lower deck were casually coming up the stairs to the 5-Star deck. There was a rope at the top of the stairs, but they seemed to know how to unhook it to get in and then rehook it. These were regular guests, not staff.

I was considering this might be my elderly mother's first and last overseas trip, so I regret spending a lot of money and time on this optional tour. I hope this review can be helpful to someone.

5スターで行ってきました。
セレブレーションプラン（窓際席確約）で予約し、その分の金額も支払いましたが、通常のプランで予約されており、あちらのマネージャーに予約したプランの確認をしてもらっている間、席についてからも30分ほど、目の前の料理を食べることができませんでした。
結局、VELTRAからスターオブホノルルへの予約が通常プランだったそうで、最後まで通常プランとしての扱いとなりました。
こんなことが起きるなんて、思いもしませんでした。非常に残念で仕方ありません。

また、恐らく送迎バスが渋滞に巻き込まれたせいで、私たちが到着した頃にはすでにディナーは始まっており、先に着いていた他のお客さんは食事を楽しんでました。

乗船する際に5スター用の入口でもあるのかなと思ってましたが、特にそのようなものはなく、大勢で列に並んで一か所の入り口から乗船しました。

5スターだと「最上階の専用デッキでキャプテンによるウェルカムレセプションがある」というスケジュールが記載されていますが、そんなものは一切ありません。列になって船内に進むように案内されました。

料理も、特別おいしいものではなかったですね。普通です。お肉がフォークで切れるという記載がありますが、ナイフでがんばって切れるぐらいの感じでした。

私自身は何度かハワイに行ったことがあり、ヒルトンの花火については、いろいろな場所から見てますが、レインボータワーの南側のビーチに座って見るのが一番ですね。
クルーズ船から花火を見れたことは一つの経験にはなりましたが、遠くから見ることになるので、全然迫力はないです。

それから、下の階のお客さんが、普通に5スターのデッキに階段を上ってきてました。一応階段を上がった先にロープがありますが、手慣れた感じでフックを外して入って、またフックをかけてました。スタッフの方ではなく、一般のお客さんです。

年老いた母を含めた、最初で最後の海外旅行だろうと考えてましたので、このようなオプショナルツアーに大金と時間を使ったことが残念で仕方がないです。
誰かの参考になればと思い、口コミを残します。

The crew was awesome. Easy boarding from the beach. The view…stunning!
Price was fair.

This is my fourth time using this service, and each time I have had a wonderful experience that has never let me down. While sailing, we encountered a huge rainbow that connected 180 degrees, and afterwards, we all cheered and celebrated wanting to see it again. It was the best experience.

今回４度めの利用ですが毎回期待を裏切らない素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。セイリング中１８０度つながる大きな虹に遭遇しその後もう一度と皆で歓声を上げて喜びました。最高の体験でした。

We had so much fun. The crew were friendly and helpful. The fireworks were great. A perfect start to our Hawaiian holiday.

The service was excellent, the food was great, the ambiance was unforgettable - need I say more,

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usually gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. The weather was pleasant and the fireworks and the views of the city at night were spectacular. The food was good and the drinks were very good. The sailboat was clean and comfortable. We both felt that the captain and crew did a really nice job. We would do it again if we if we ever go to Oahu.

Amazing cruise, had a lot of fun with friends. Dance performances are really good. Not many food options for vegetarian/vegan people. I think they can even improve the quality of non-vegetarian food.

This was a perfect activity for our little family! It started to rain in the middle, but we still had a great time! Ended up with a beautiful rainbow! I would definitely recommend!

Can't go wrong with a nice evening on the gorgeous Waikiki shores!

Really delicious food and friendly staff! Thank you for the great evening.

It was a nice experience. It was a bit crowded so didn't feel as intimate as I expected.

This was my second time participating. Last time, the weather was so great that I enjoyed taking photos while drinking a Mai Tai, but this time, as soon as we headed out to sea, it got really rough. I got completely soaked and couldn't move because of the rocking, but the staff poured Mai Tais for each of us. There were many foreigners on board, which made it very lively. I switched my mindset and enjoyed it as a soaking wet attraction, making it a memorable experience. It's definitely a good idea to bring a towel and a jacket.

2回目の参加です。前回があまりにもお天気に恵まれ、マイタイを飲みながら、写真撮影を楽しみましたが、今回は沖に出た途端に大荒れでした。びしょ濡れになり、揺れで移動ができずにいたら、スタッフさんが一人一人にマイタイ注いでくれました。船上は外人が多かったこともあり、とても賑やかです。
気持ちを切り替え、びしょ濡れアトラクションとして楽しみ、思い出に残る体験になりました。
タオルと上着は絶対に持って行った方がいいです。

During this trip to Hawaii, I was really looking forward to taking a boat ride to see Waikiki from the sea, something I had wanted to do for a long time, but unfortunately, it didn't happen. The backup location was hard to find, and in the end, I was late and couldn't participate. I regret not allowing more time and wish I had joined a nearby tour since I was staying at a hotel in Waikiki.

今回のハワイ旅では、前々からやってみたいと思っていた船に乗って海からワイキキを見るという事をやりたくて楽しみにしていましたが、それが叶いませんでした。
というのもバックアップ場所が分かりづらく、結局時間にも遅れてしまった事で参加する事が出来ませんでした。
もっと余裕をもって行けば良かったという反省とともに、宿泊しているホテルがワイキキだったので、近くのツアーに参加すれば良かったと後悔しかありません。

I have been coming to Hawaii for about 30 years and this was my first time participating. There were only my husband and me as Japanese people, and everyone around us was foreign, but everything, including Waikiki and Diamond Head viewed from the sea, was fresh and very enjoyable! I definitely want to participate again.

ハワイには30年程前から何十回と来ていますが、今回はじめて参加してみました。
日本人は私達夫婦しかおらず、周りは全て外国の方ばかりでしたが、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド等全て新鮮でとても楽しめました！
また是非参加したいと思います。

I make a reservation every time I come to Hawaii. Especially while waiting for the sunset, enjoying my favorite sparkling wine, Hawaiian beer, and cocktails is the best.

ハワイに来る度に予約してます
特にサンセットを待ちながらゆっくり好きなスパークリング、ハワイビール、カクテル三昧は最高です

We participated for the first time as a family of four (two adults and two children aged 3 and 1).

There were not many Japanese people, but everyone was very kind, and we had an amazing time.

We brought our own snorkeling set, so we were able to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, which was great.

I would like to do this again when we go to Hawaii.

Thank you!!!

家族4人(大人2人＋3歳1歳の子供2人)で、初めて参加しました。

日本人は少なかったですが、みなさんとても親切で最高に楽しかったです。

シュノーケルセットを持って行ったので、ワイキキ沖でシュノーケルもでき、よかったです。

またハワイへ行ったらリピしたいと思います。

ありがとうございました！！！

Incredible experience! There were 10 of us of different ages celebrating my daughter's graduation The team treated everyone with respect. helped grandpa get up and down of a catamaran.And by an amazing coincidence, the sails on the catamaran are the colors of the Ukrainian flag,we are originaly from Ukraine. it was very nice.
Thank you guys!

The reception was a bit confusing, but once on the boat, it was very enjoyable and refreshing. I was able to enjoy delicious drinks and beautiful fireworks on the way home.

受付等ちょっとわかりづらかったですが、船に乗ればとても楽しく、気分爽快帰宅美味しいお酒と綺麗な花火を楽しめました

The crew was very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about Hawaiian culture from them.

We love the Maui sunsets and being on the water was even better. Very quiet smooth sail. The entire staff was attentive, happy a pleasure to be with. we had heard a few not so good things about cocktail cruises (rowdiness, drunks, loud) but this was a great experience. Nothing but good things occurred. Great appetizers and drinks. Also not crowded. We've seen a lot of boats heading out with tons of people on board. Not our cup of tea.
For 1st time cocktail cruise sailors wear comfy shoes. We didn't need it but we brought a light jacket anyway. Sunglasses and sunscreen a must. BE ON TIME!
The staff work very hard to ensure our comfort. Don't forget to say Mahalo (Thanks) and give them a tip too.

The crew was excellent! All were very personable, professional, looking out for everyone's safety and comfort. All very knowledgeable about the area, and seemed to love what they do which always makes for an excellent adventure. Sunset didn't disappoint either. Would love to do it again!

Great dinner with wonderful service. The staff were friendly and very attentive.
