All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I wanted to have a special experience in Hawaii, so I joined a sunset sailing tour. Although it was just a little over an hour long, it turned out to be a very memorable and enjoyable time!

We boarded the boat during daylight and were able to see the changing sky from sunset to nightfall while on the water. There were unlimited drinks and even chips provided. The original Mai Tai was incredibly delicious!

I think about 30-40% of the participants were Japanese. The crew was also very proactive in taking photos, which made for the best memories!

ハワイで何か特別な体験を、と思いサンセットセーリングのツアーに参加しました。
わずか1時間少しのツアーですが、とても印象に残る良い時間になりました！
明るい時間から船にのり、夕焼けから日が沈むまでの移りゆく空を、船の上で見ることができます。
ドリンク飲み放題でチップスまで配られます。オリジナルのマイタイもすごくおいしかったです！
参加される方で、日本人の割合は3-4割だったかなと思います。
クルーの方も積極的に写真を撮ってくださったり、最高の思い出になりました！

We are an elderly couple, 70 and 69 years old. We were the only Japanese people on board. This was our ninth trip to Hawaii, and our first time on Kauai. Since we were here, we wanted to see the Na Pali Coast, so we decided to join the tour.

To be honest, I was worried about getting seasick. About 30 minutes before boarding, I took an old seasickness tablet from T Pharmaceutical that I brought from Japan (the kind you can take without water). Thanks to that, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. There were about six people who did feel sick. I think if I hadn't taken the seasickness medication, I definitely would have gotten sick. The cruise was comfortable, but it did sway quite a bit, similar to the Viking ride at a Japanese amusement park.

We talked with my husband, saying, "I'm glad we came," while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The sunset was cloudy, but we could still see it reasonably well. The food was delicious too. Besides the captain, there were two friendly staff members, a nice young man and a beautiful young woman, who were all very kind. Perhaps because of my age, whenever I tried to move around the boat, they would come right away to help me. My English isn't very good, but I didn't have any particular problems. My husband chatted happily with a gentleman from the mainland who was sitting next to him, and everyone there was very friendly.

We participated on May 10th, and we were able to see whales. Everyone was thrilled and shouting. Additionally, there was a rainbow over the Na Pali Coast, making it the best cruise ever.

I highly recommend participating. The Lucky Lady is a larger cruiser, so it felt safe. I'm really glad we joined.

　70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
　正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S（水なしで飲めるもの）を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
　美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
　参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。

Had to use a premium drink ticket for a diet coke. Gimme a break.
Lobster presentation was unacceptable. Lobster should have been served out of the shell, very messy.
Entertainment was good

There were surprisingly many participants. Although it wasn't planned, the captain chased after whales and sea turtles when the opportunity arose. The view of the Ko Olina hotels from the sea was incredibly vast. The waves were a bit high, but it was beautiful.

参加者は意外と多かったです。予定には無いけど、ホエールやウミガメも機会があれば、船長の判断で追いかけてくれました。海から見るコオリナのホテル群は、とてつもなく広大でした。ちょっと波が高かったけど、綺麗でしたよ。

What was great about this sailing experience was that it was conducted with a small group. It mentioned that operations would be canceled with fewer than four people, but there were three of us, and a couple who were at Waikiki Beach joined us, making a total of five, which allowed for a fun sailing experience with a small number of participants. Right after boarding, we were served a welcome drink (Mai Tai), which was nice. During the one-hour sailing, the crew also took photos with their smartphones. I thought sailing in the morning was very good because it allows for effective use of the afternoon.

　今回のセーリングでよかったことは、少人数でも運航されたことでした。4名以下の時は運航中止と書いてましたが、私たち３名でしたが、ワイキキビーチにおられたカップルが急遽乗船されて合計５名になって少ない人数で楽しくセーリングできました。乗船後すぐにウエルカムドリンク（マイタイ）を頂いてよかったです。その後1時間のセーリング中にはクルーがスマホで写真も撮っていただけました。午前中のセーリングは午後の時間を有効に使えるので大変良いと思いました。

The waves were a bit high, and the boat swayed slightly, but I felt safe on board. The captain and one crew member really livened up the atmosphere, and I was able to mingle with various people while enjoying drinks, taking photos together—it was an incredibly fun sailing experience. Watching the setting sun added a romantic touch as well. I was a bit scared before getting on, but I'm glad I did. It became the best memory!

波が少し高くて船は少し揺れましたけれど、
安心して乗っていられました。
船長と船員さん1人が場を盛り上げてくれて、飲み物片手にいろいろな方と交流し、写真の撮り合いっこをしたり、最高に楽しいセーリングでした。沈みゆく夕日を見ながら、ロマンチックにもなれますし。
乗るまでは怖い気持ちもありましたが、乗って良かったです。最高の思い出になりました。

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise yesterday. The captain and his team (Audrey, Haley and G) were all great people, very helpful and considerate during the 5 1/2 tour. Few people got sick due to very strong current and rough water and this team took care of all by comforting them and taking good care of them. We certainly recommend this company for sunset cruises.

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.

ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ？とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。

We had an extraordinary joyous time with Stevie & crew. I couldn't have asked for a better start to my birthday. Thanks, Stevie & Crew!

There were mostly foreign visitors, and very few Japanese people. If you buy one drink, you can enjoy unlimited drinks afterward, and snacks were distributed during the trip. Since I had a 2-year-old with me, we spent our time on the boat, but I definitely recommend securing a seat on the second floor! Those who want to join midway can enter the water. The sunset was hidden by clouds, but seeing Hawaii from the sea had its own charm, and I was very satisfied. The crew was also surprised, as we were able to encounter a large group of dolphins and see them swimming.

ほとんど海外の方で日本人はいませんでした。一杯買えばその後飲み放題のドリンクもついていて、途中でスナックも配られました。2歳児を連れていたので船内で過ごしましたが、2階席を確保するほうが断然おすすめです！途中入りたい人は海の中に入れます。サンセットは雲に隠れてしまいましたが海から見るハワイはまた別の良さがあって大満足でした。船員の人も驚いていましたが、イルカの大群に出会うことができ、泳ぐ姿を見ることができました。

I signed up because I wanted to show my grandchild dolphins and turtles, and I was able to see plenty of dolphins, plus I got to see five turtles all at once. I am very satisfied.

孫にイルカとカメを見せたくて申し込んだのですが、イルカをお腹いっぱい見ることができ、さらに亀も5枚も一度に見ることができました。
大満足です。

Lots of people on the boat, very busy but the team works very hard!

We celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 aboard this charter, and it was an unforgettable experience. The crew was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. The views were breathtaking; we truly couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate!

To no fault of their own it rained. It poured really hard. The Captain & First mate were great. They tried to get us out of the pouring rain as best and as fast as they could. The premade drinks were ok. Add some champagne/sparkling wine to them & an ok drink turned into a good drink. The music was great and put all of us soaking wet peeps into a great mood. We were very lucky to be able to see the beautiful sunset in spite of it raining on the first part of our cruise. Everyone was grateful it was dry on our way back to shore. Even though it was rainy & wet it was still worth the cruise. You can't control the weather and the crew handled it well. Thank you for a memorable sunset cocktail cruise.

We are so happy we did this! The ride out to sea was wild as everyone on the front deck got SOAKED. It was a ton of fun! The drinks and the music were great too! The hosts of the catamaran are really what made it such a fun experience! We will absolutely recommend this any day!

It was our first night cruising, and we were the only Japanese people there, but we enjoyed it without any worries. The guests were singing along to popular songs and having a great time. After the fireworks on Friday, we cruised for a while while admiring the sparkling hotels before heading back. The cruise was longer than we expected, and we were very satisfied.

初めてのナイトクルージングで、日本人は私達だけでしたが何の不安も無く楽しめました。流行りの歌だったのかお客さん達は歌って盛り上がっていました。
金曜日の花火が終わった後もキラキラ輝くホテルを見ながらしばらくクルージングしてから戻りました。
思ったより長いクルージングで満足出来ました。

I had the best time.
I feel it was worth more than the price.
The boat departed almost on time. We encountered a pod of dolphins along the way and were able to see them swimming alongside us and jumping. I was surprised and moved because I thought we would only be watching the sunset!
After about an hour of sailing, we arrived at the swimming spot. About half of the people were diving into the sea from the boat, excitedly saying, "I've been waiting for this!" while the other half enjoyed a leisurely time watching those swimming from the boat. Swimming is not mandatory, so either option is fine, but I recommend swimming since you're there!!!
You can wear a life jacket or use a float (available for rent) when going into the sea. Several staff members are watching closely, and there is a lifeguard on board, so it's safe.
The swimming time is about 20 minutes.
When we got out of the water, the sun started to set, and it got a bit chilly, so I think it's better to have something to wear.
Also, there are no beach towels on the boat, so you'll need to borrow one from your hotel and bring it with you!

Diamond Head, the streets of Waikiki, and the sunset created unforgettable scenery.
The staff were very friendly, chatting with us and asking if we wanted photos taken, providing excellent service.
It was about a two-hour experience, and since we were all together, we talked and got to know each other well.
The sunset view was of course perfect, and everything else was very satisfying. I would love to participate again when I come back to Honolulu!

最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
お値段以上の価値があると感じます。
ボートはほぼ時間ぴったりに出発。途中でイルカの群れと遭遇し、並泳やジャンプを見ることができました。サンセットを見るだけだと思っていたので、これにはとても驚き感動しました！
約1時間ほど航行したところで、スイミングスポットへ到着。半分くらいの人は「待ってました！」という感じで船から海へダイブして泳ぎ、その他半分は船の上で泳ぐ人を眺めてゆったりとした時間を過ごしていました。泳ぐのは強制ではないので、どちらでも大丈夫ですがせっかくなので泳ぐのがおすすめ！！！
ライフジャケットまたは浮き輪(借りられます)を付けて海へ。スタッフ数名がしっかり見ていてくれるし、ライフセーバーさんも同乗しているので安心です。
スイミングタイムは約20分ほど。
海から上がると日が沈み始め、寒くなってくるので羽織るものがあった方が良いと思います。
またビーチタオルは船内には無いので、ホテルから借り持参が必要です！

ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの街並み、サンセット。忘れられない景色になりました。
スタッフの方々もとてもフレンドリーで、話しかけてくれたり、写真撮りますか？と声をかけてくれたり素晴らしいサービスでした。
約2時間の体験でしたが、他の乗船客ともずっと一緒なので色々とお話をしたり仲良くなりました。
サンセットの景色はもちろん満点、その他も大満足です。またホノルルに来た際は、参加したいと思います！

Best Crew we could have asked for. They made the experience Epic and Fun!!! Thank you for such a great night.

Great time! Great crew! They call it appetizers, but it’s a meal. Even the drinks were superb. Fortunate enough to see one of the last whales of the season. Highly recommended! Would do again!

The trip and staff were wonderful, we had a great time, we snorkelled, fished, and sat in the hot tub. It was cheaper for a family of three than going on separate fishing and snorkelling trips and it was private!

Had a great time. very friendly staff, well organized production.
It may be their job but everyone seemed to enjoy making sure you have a great time.
go. get the pictures. the memories are priceless.

bonus : go on Friday and you get the fireworks show on the water with Waikiki as the backdrop. what could be better???

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.

The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.

The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.

自分へのご褒美に５スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。１人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット２枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

Crew was very nice. Great catamaran and I loved being under sail for most of it (no engine noise).

I participate every year, and this time it was a calm sailing with no waves. Thank you, Captain Tamiko. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the clouds, but we encountered a US Navy submarine coming out of the marina.

毎年の様に参加していますが、今回は波も無く穏やかなセーリングでした。たみこキャプテンありがとうございます。雲がかかってしまい残念ながらサンセットはみれませんでしたが、USネイビーの潜水艦がマリーナから出てくるところに遭遇しました。

It was the last day of whale season, but many whales came out, and I was moved to see so many whales off the coast of Waikiki, something I had never known before.

クジラシーズンの最終日でしたが。たくさんクジラが出てきてくれて、ワイキキ沖でこんなにクジラが見れるのをいままで全く知らず感動です。

I thought it was just a sightseeing tour, but it seems there was a swimming time in the sea after a stop along the way. I didn't know about that, so I was just waiting for the 30-minute swimming time to end, which was a bit boring. I think those who jumped in had fun, but since I got to see a whale jump, I guess that's good enough... it felt somewhat unsatisfying.

遊覧だけかとおもったら、途中で停泊したかと思ったら､海で遊泳タイムがあるみたいで､そんな情報知らなかったので､30分ぐらいの遊泳タイム終わるの待ってるだけでたいくつでした。飛び込んだ人は楽しかったと思うけど､､､鯨のでジャンプ見れたから良しとするか､､､ってかんじ､､､やや不完全燃焼

We saw a whale tail. We also saw sea turtles. The boat ride was a great experience. The captain and crew were amazing. I would recommend this to everyone‼️

It was a very satisfying activity where we could see whales and dolphins. The sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but we were still able to feel the beauty of the sunset. I would definitely like to participate again.

鯨やイルカもみられて大満足のアクティビティでした。
サンセットは少し雲に隠れてましたが、夕日は十分感じる事ができました。
まて是非参加させていただきます。

I participated with four friends. We were the only Japanese people there, but with some drinks and interactions with people from other countries, it became a very enjoyable memory. The view of Waikiki from the ocean was a bit cloudy, but the sunset from the ocean side was really beautiful and definitely worth experiencing!

友人4人と参加しました。日本人は私達だけでしたが、お酒も入り、他国の方との交流もあってとても楽しい思い出となりました。海からのワイキキ、少し曇りでしたが海側のサンセットもとっても綺麗で乗る価値ありです！

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.
