All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Had such a great time on this cruise! It was such a good deal for the price. The boat isn’t huge, but once you get out on the water, you’re standing around the edge looking out at the gorgeous views anyways. Staff was very accommodating and funny, made the experience so much better. The drinks were great and we even got a 4th one as well as a little longer of a cruise as we took our time to head back to shore to see the sun set. Would recommend for anyone looking for a fun little booze cruise!

Always a pleasure. Brought my mother to the cruise. We both do not drink but still had an awesome time. Was a nice outing all the way around. Apologies as i forgot their names but i believe Mitchell was one and Jennifer was the other. Mahalos for the ride.

Great time was had by all. Crew helped celebrate my hubbys birthday. Superior customer service. Food was fantastic!!

Captain Cindy and Chelsea were so nice. It was my birthday and they made me feel so special. The drinks were flowing and they even provided a speaker for all of my friends and I to use. We had forgotten to get food and they had provided us an assortment of finger sandwiches to snack on. We watched the sunset and jumped off the boat. Honestly that experience was the highlight of my entire birthday trip in Hawaii. I will not hesitate to come back to them next time I am in Hawaii on the Big Island !

Staff was great. Bumpy ride out, smooth ride in. Can’t control the weather but I would totally do it again.

A great evening.
The food was very well prepared, we both had the prime rib, it was good quality.
The bar was excellent and accommodating. The staff was very friendly and created a great atmosphere.

Sunset cruise was a good time. Nice way to see the beach and Diamond Head. Beautiful views! Crew and all passengers were friendly and good music on board. Recommend

Would definitely do it again. Would recommend to friends and family.

We had so much fun! The “guides” were fun and the drinks were great. We even got to see whales!

It was a great evening for sailing. The Captain and crew were very nice and got along well with everyone. We saw dolphins and one . The food was catered and was pretty good. Salad, grilled chicken and white rice.

We had to wait for a few couples before we could leave but we stayed out a little longer.

The crew is fun and informative. Great views of the island from the water and even saw some whales breaching. Made for some great pictures and we saw the "green flash" as sunset! You take a tender to the boat and do have to walk into the water a bit so just make sure you have on shorts or something you can lift up while getting on and off. Bring cash for tip and any extra drinks. Departs from the beach behind the Marriott which was super convenient if you're staying here.

This was an amazing experience! Be sure to sit in the front of the boat on the way out You won't regret it
The beautiful waters and sunset Flowing drinks , music, meeting new people and the crew we had was the BEST! They were so much fun!
Mahalo
Will be back to sail again

The only reason this sail trip gets 2 stars is because crew didn’t sink the boat. Anything else was awful: boat was filthy, drinks were disgusting pre-mix maitais watered down; that is not to mention there were more people than seats.
Ocean and views of the island are great but that is not Manu Kai’s contribution.
We’ve done 10 sail trips in various Hawaiian islands- this was the worst of all.
It is cheap compared to others so if you’re after outstanding views for least money this trip will do the job.

Positives:
- friendly crew
- large boat
- BYOB
- boat was not crowded on the night that I went (only about 10 passengers total on a Thursday night)
- good areas to sit around boat and up front on nets

Negatives:
- beware that many sunsets on many nights are occluded by clouds (the company obviously can't control this)

The vessel is more like a ship than a boat like it has 3-4 levels. Very organized and informational! The staff is friendly. Lots of room to walk around. They offer motion pills or some kind of ginger cocktail to prevent motion sickness. They also offered small snakes like chips. There wasn't an option for breakfast.
I went in February and and I saw about 7-10 whales( sprays, tip of their tails). I think 1 or 2 came close to the boat. I enjoyed it. My little one (5yo) was mostly running around...lol.

We had an awesome time on the sunset booze cruise and will definitely be coming back. Captain JJ and the entire crew were awesome and made sure we were comfortable the whole time.

Just did the Snorkel and Sunset dinner cruise. I would definitely do this again. The. Staff was absolutely awesome and very very patient. I sometime feel very constrained with all the rules but the staff did a very good job explaining why they have to do what they do to keep all of us safe and still have the best time. The music was great, the food was wonderful. And everybody on the boat seemed to have a good time. Oh and the sunset on the water was epic. I highly recommend this to all!

The staff was friendly! The catamaran felt safe and was clean. With drinks included, it was very reasonably priced. Will definitely do it again when we have visitors!

Very we enjoyed a lot my kids had fun food was good dance was good very nice

We had such a great experience on this cruise. The staff was on top of it. The meal was great, the entertainment was outstanding! My husband and I had a wonderful time. We strongly recommend.

Super nice guys who manned this sunset sail. The price to do this was very reasonable and the VIEWS of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline at sunset were priceless. We even had a whale sighting-SO COOL!!! Would do this again a million times.

The guys were great. Very professional and safe but a lot of fun! It was a very festive St. Paddy's Day sail and it was beautiful. We even saw a few whales. Great time which I highly recommend.

Our cruise was so much fun, the crew are incredibly fun and accommodating. They played great music, the boat was really nice, and the cruise was beautiful. I got really sea sick about halfway through and the crew was so kind and helpful when I felt ill. They had a towel and bucket ready and made sure I had plenty of water. 5 star service and fun crowd! Would go again (with Dramamine next time)

Fantastic ride - great whale sightings. Convenient shuttle.

Captain Kurt and Dave gave us a beautiful and relaxing cruise. This was something the whole family can do. We were hoping to see some whales but they were a little too shy this trip. We did have a great snorkel spot. Dave showed the best spots to see sea life. My 2 year old grandson got into the ocean for the first time. Captain Kurt was able to assist some of our family into and out of the ocean safely. Dave brought up a starfish and a sea anemone so my grandson could see and touch them before releasing them back into the ocean.

Super awesome crew and great experience! We had a blast

The sunset cruise was a great way to celebrate my moms 60th birthday. Heather, Sequoia, and Zoey aka the Dream Team did a great job making sure each and every guest felt special and enjoyed their day. The scenery was beautiful and we were blown away by the whales and dolphins that we were able to see up close. It was definitely a night to remember!

Was a great evening with my fiance! Happy we got to go on this cruise

One of the highlights from our trip to Maui! The all female crew was amazing. We enjoyed the drinks, food, beautiful sunset and up close view of a humpback mom and calf!

Very informative. Enjoyed our trip. Great weather.
