All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Dinner great waitress very overwhelmed. Service so so. Entertainment great as well

It was a very pleasant sunset cruise. Enjoying drinks while taking in the beautiful scenery and music made for a wonderful memory on my last day in Waikiki. I definitely want to use this service again when I visit Waikiki. Highly recommended!

サンセットとても気持ちのいいクルーズでした。
お酒を飲みながら　素敵な景色に音楽　ワイキキ最終日に予約してとてもよい思い出になりました。また、ワイキキを訪れた時にはぜひ利用したいです。
とてもおすすめです。

I had heard that the meeting place was hard to find, but following the guidebook led me there without any issues. We took off our shoes at the beach and climbed the stairs to the catamaran. The waves came in, and my daughter got wet up to her knees. Whether you get wet or not depends on the timing, I guess. The conversation between the cool bartender and the captain was enjoyable, and the music really enhanced the sunset experience. We even saw a whale jump and a big rainbow, which made me feel incredibly happy. It was a tour that definitely deserves the highest ratings from everyone. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii. I think it would be even more fun if I could speak English.

集合場所がわかりにくいと情報から聞いていたのですが、案内書通りにいくと問題なく到着。靴を海岸で脱がされ双胴船の階段登って行きました。波が来て娘は膝上まで濡れてました。濡れる濡れないは、タイミングかな。かっこいいバーテンダーのお姉さんと船長さんの会話も楽しく音楽もサンセットを盛り上げてくれます。鯨のジャンプもみれたし大きな虹も見れすごく幸せな気分でした。みんなが最高と評価するのも当然っておもえるツアーでした。再びハワイに来ても参加したいと思いました。英語が話せるともっと楽しいだろうなあ。

On the day of the event, it had just stopped raining, and we were able to see a beautiful rainbow from the boat for a long time. The appearance of the whales was a bit modest, but it turned out to be a fun cruising experience!

参加当日は雨上がりで、綺麗な虹を長時間船上から見ることが出来ました。
クジラの登場は2度と少し控えめでしたが、楽しいクルージングになりました!

I visit Hawaii every year, and I make it a must to experience the Friday night fireworks sailing. It's incredibly refreshing, the all-you-can-drink Mai Tais are delicious, and the fireworks are beautifully visible. I prefer this size of yacht over a large boat; you can feel the gentle sway, the wind, and the splashes of water, which really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii.

毎年ハワイに来ていますが、金曜日の花火鑑賞セーリングは必須イベントにしています。最高に爽快で、飲み放題のマイタイも美味しいし、花火もきれいに見えます。セーリングは大型の船より、これぐらいのヨットがいいですね、程よい揺れや、風や水しぶきを感じられるし、ハワイにきている実感が感じられます。

I was prepared for the possibility that I might not see it, but...

Unfortunately, I ended up on a disappointing day.

Maybe it's just right to think of it as lucky if I do get to see it!?

必ず見られるとは限らないとは覚悟してたけど・・・

そんな残念な日に当たってしまった。

見れたラッキーぐらいがちょうど良いかも！？

Overall, it was great.
The captain, especially Google, made it feel like we were truly experiencing Hawaii.
The free drink service was also excellent and top-notch.
The sunset sailing became my greatest memory, and I want to go again.

とにかく良かった。
キャプテンは、特にGoogle
これぞ、ハワイを感じることができた。
フリードリンクのサービスも、申し分なく最高だった。
セーリングでのサンセットは最大の思い出になりました、また行きたいです。

I participated in January and brought a long-sleeved cardigan and a bath towel, but the night on the boat was colder than I expected while barefoot. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, but since I can't drink alcohol, I wasn't in the mood for juice either because it was cold, so I thought it would be nice to have warm beverages available. Aside from the cold, it was truly wonderful, and I would definitely like to participate again if I go during a warmer season. The night view of Waikiki is still etched in my memory. For those sensitive to the cold during this time, I highly recommend dressing warmly.

参加したのは1月で、長袖のカーディガンと、バスタオルを持って行ったのですが、夜の船上は裸足のままで、思ったより寒かったです。
ドリンクも飲み放題でしたが、私はお酒も飲めないので、ジュースも寒くて飲む気分にもなれず、温かい飲み物もあると良いと思いました。
寒さを除けば、とても素晴らしかったので、もっと暖かい時期に行ったら、また是非参加したいと思います。
ワイキキの夜景がまだ目に焼き付いています。
この時期に行く寒さに敏感な方は、思い切り暖かい服装をおすすめします。

The boat sways quite a bit, so at first, it's hard to walk, but during meal times, we anchor offshore, so you can relax. Moreover, at that time, a manta ray and many dolphins gathered around. I think they must have liked the singing. I can't remember the name, but there was a singer with the most beautiful voice singing live the whole time, and songs that felt very Hawaiian, which was truly soothing.
There was also a vegan menu, and the buffet was satisfying.

Most of the participants were from the mainland United States, and they were drinking and making a lot of noise, so even when I was trying to talk about history and the land, I couldn't hear it next to me. But overall, it was the best cruising experience. If you can't speak English, it might feel long and confusing as you won't know what's happening.

It was a bit disappointing that the sunset was partially hidden by clouds, but it was still a beautiful view. People who participated in the previous trip said they didn't encounter anything, so we were really lucky on our trip.

船はかなり揺れるので、最初は歩くのもやっとだけど、食事のときは沖で停泊するので落ち着いていただけます。しかも、この時、マンタが1匹と、イルカもたくさん集まってきました。きっと、歌声が好きだったんじゃないかと思いますお名前は覚えていないけど、最高に美しい声の歌手がずっと生歌を歌っていて、ハワイっぽい曲とか、本当に癒されました。
Veganメニューもあって、ビュッフェも満足でした。

参加者がほぼアメリカ本土から来た人たちばかりで、お酒飲んで大騒ぎするので、せっかく歴史や土地の話をしているのが隣に行っても聞こえないくらいだったけど、とにかく最高のcruisingでした。英語ができないと、何が起こってるか分らなく長く感じるかもしれないけど。

あとは、夕日が少し雲に隠れてしまったのが残念だけど、それでも美しい景色でした。前の便に参加した人たちは、何も出会えなかったそうで、私たちの便は本当に幸運に恵まれました。

It was such a great time and perfect day. I have done other catamaran cruises, and this one was the best.

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.

For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).

I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.

The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!

港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした（酔い止め薬は必須かと思います）
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見！30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです！

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.

From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。１度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で １００ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。２回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。

We participated as a family of four. The crew members were all friendly and attentive, making it a comfortable experience. The sunset was beautiful, and we were thrilled to encounter a pod of dolphins!

家族４人で参加しました。クルーの方々がみんな気さくで気がつき、快適でした。
サンセットも綺麗だったし、イルカの群れに遭遇して、感動しました！

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!

I want to see it again!

船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎

もう一回見たいですね〜

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.

The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.

Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.

The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.

The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

We took the sunset cruise with Lui and Jason and it was awesome. They both were super informative and friendly, the history was very cool, and the drinks were fantastic! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do a laid back sunset cruise on Kauai.

It was really great! The view of Waikiki from the ocean was exceptional. Along the way, a rainbow appeared towards Ala Moana, which really boosted my spirits! The sunset was also perfect! My husband was very satisfied, and when we come to Hawaii again, we will definitely ride again! ^ ^

とても良かったです！海から見るワイキキの街並みは格別でした。途中、アラモアナ方面に虹が現れ、テンション上がりました！サンセットも文句なし！
主人も大満足で、またハワイに来るときは絶対に乗ります^ ^！！

The fireworks viewed from the sea had a different and amazing location. I participated in January, and the nights in Hawaii were a bit cold, so I think having a jacket would be better. However, the staff kindly lent me a blanket, which was very nice!

海から観る花火はロケーションがまた違って凄く良かったです。1月に参加しましたが夜のハワイは少し寒くて、上着があった方が良いと思います。でもスタッフの方が膝掛けを貸してくれて、とても親切でした！

Many Japanese people were a bit anxious because the meeting place was hard to find, so I helped them out since it was my second time. I think Japanese guidance or catamaran signage is necessary. This time, I came to Hawaii to celebrate my wife's 60th birthday. We participated in the cruising with the intention of celebrating. The fireworks up close and, of course, the night view of Waikiki from the sea were amazing, and it felt like we were truly blessed by Hawaii on this special day! Thank you!

集合場所が分かりづらく少々不安になった日本人が多くいらしたので2度目の私が教えてあげましたが、日本語案内かカタマラン表記は必要かと思います。今回は、妻の還暦祝でハワイに来ました。祝福のつもりでクルージングに参加しました。近距離での花火は勿論海からのワイキキの夜景は最高で、スタート日としてはハワイに祝福されてる感が最高でした❗️ありがとう

It was the best part of our trip to Honolulu. It was like having a fun party on the middle of the sea!
My mom asked me to cancel this before the cruise cuz she felt really tired after other activities but she said it was THE best thing she did in Honolulu!
The crew were super fun, great music, great drinks, everything was all so great. Of course, sunset was beautiful, took my breath away.
And also we saw two humpback whales! It was my first time! It really was an amazing experience.
I will definitely do this again next time I visit Honolulu with my husband.

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

I had never been to Hawaii during whale watching season before, and this was my first attempt at whale watching. I boarded the boat with high expectations, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales... tears. The morning boat ride was pleasant with the sea breeze, but it's still disappointing not to see anything. We were returning home the next day, so we didn't use it, but I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can receive a free boarding ticket. (Transportation to the boat is separate.) I thought it was nice that they have such care in place.

これまでクジラが見られる時期にハワイにきたことがなく、ホエールウォッチング初挑戦でした。期待を膨らませて船に乗りましたが、残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした…涙
早朝の船で海風も心地よかったのですがやっぱり見れないと残念ですよね。
私達は翌日帰国だったので使いませんでしたが、見れなかった場合は無料乗船券を貰えるそうです。（船までの送迎は別途必要）そういったケアがあるところはいいなと思いました。

Beautiful sunset and fun crew. We had an amazing backdrop between the whales breaching in the sunset and the Honolulu skyline in the back. Only request would have been a longer cruise, as we were only out for roughly 1.5 hours although they advertise for 2 hours.

Very convenient and pleasant cruise. Transportation was easy, staff was friendly, food was tasty, entertainment was entertaining. Very good date for a couple. Would reccomend to anyone looking for something to do for an evening.

Very good! Friendly staff, saw whales! Was very happy with the experience

I previously participated in another tour, but just before the trip, I found a free monitor tour for a second person and decided to go with this one. The shuttle service to the hotel was free, and along the way, the driver shared many recommended spots and shops.

We arrived at the yacht harbor early, and it was suggested that it would be cooler to wait in the car until the time, so we were allowed to wait inside the vehicle. All the other participants were foreigners, and all explanations and consent forms were in English, but it was perfectly fine even if you don't understand English at all.

You have to go barefoot on the boat, so I recommend wearing sandals. Inside the boat, bottled water and crackers with peanut butter were provided for free. You can bring your own alcohol, so everyone was freely putting it in their coolers.

There was time to swim until sunset, but the floaties were different from what I imagined; they were long, stick-like objects, so if you're not a good swimmer, I recommend bringing your own floatie.

The scenery was amazing! It was a breathtaking view like I had never seen before. I could see the moment the sun set clearly. On the way back, we could also see the night view, which was great!

以前は別のツアーに参加したのですが、旅行直前で2人目無料モニターツアーを見つけてこちらにしました。
ホテルまでの送迎は無料で、道中は運転手さんがオススメスポットやお店をたくさん教えてくれました。
ヨットハーバーへ早めに着くと、時間まで車で待ってたほうが涼しいとのことで、車内で待たせてくれました。
他の参加者は全員外国人で、説明や同意書も全て英語でしたが、英語が全然分からなくても大丈夫でした。
船は裸足で乗らなければならないので、サンダルで行くことをオススメします。
船内ではペットボトルの水とピーナッツクリームがサンドされたクラッカーが無料でした。お酒は持ち込み出来るので、みんなクーラーボックスに自由に入れていました。
サンセットの時間まで泳ぐ時間がありましたが、浮き輪は想像していたものとは違って長い棒状の物だったので、全然泳げない人は自分の浮き輪を持っていくことをオススメします。
景色は最高です！今まで見たことがないほどの絶景でした。太陽が沈む瞬間までハッキリ見えました。
帰りは夜景も見られるので良かったです！

The cruise was very relaxing and had beautiful scenery. The captain Louie and first mate/ bartender Jason were awesome. So friendly and knowledgeable. During the cruise Louie told us a lot of history. Jason made great drinks and had good conversation about Kauai. We cruised through the bay and down the river. The boat was very clean and well maintained. The only negative is that I would have liked to go down the coastline more but that’s always weather and wave depending. I would do this cruise again.

I was really lucky to meet dolphins and whales. However, the waves were rough that day, and I got seasick... I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

イルカやくじらに会うこともできて本当にラッキーでした。
ただその日は波が荒く船酔いに…酔い止めお勧めします
