All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I often go to Hawaii during summer vacation, but this time I decided to go in January for the first time, so I participated in a whale watching cruise to see the winter whales. It was a cloudy day with strong winds and high waves, which might be why the whales were not showing up. The captain announced that we would be turning back today, and the boat started to head back.

Then, from the other side, there was a cheer! Surprisingly, a whale was spouting water! And even its large tail fin! The boat made another U-turn to get closer to the whale. I'm grateful to the kind captain.

ハワイは夏休みに行くことが多く、今回はじめて１月に行くことになったので、冬のくじらに会いたいとホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。この日は曇り空で風も強く、波が高かったせいかなかなか鯨が出てきてくれず、キャプテンから今日はUターンするとのアナウンスがあり船は引き返すことに。
そこへ反対側からなにやら歓声が！なんと、鯨が潮を吹いているではありませんか！そして大きな尾びれまで！
船はもう一度Uターンして鯨のそばまで行ってくれました。やさしいキャプテンに感謝です。

This is a must great price great people. Only thing is be careful walking from the blue umprella to the cat. It was a little sketchy when there was no railing with a rocky ocean drop off. But besides that the trip was incredible captain and bartender were incredible. A ton of fun, welcoming people and fantastic company. Great music great drinks. Highly recommend.

It was a bit disappointing that the weather wasn't great. There were not many Japanese people, but we all had a fun time together! The champagne and Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink and delicious. Most importantly, my mother was happy, so I was very satisfied. Just be careful not to drink too much...

天候に恵まれなかったのが少し残念。
日本人は少ないですが、みんなでわいわい楽しかったです！！シャンパンもマイタイ？も飲み放題で美味しかったです。何より母が喜んでくれたので大満足でした。飲み過ぎには注意です。。。

meal was very good, show was very good, tables for two were to close together.
We meat Japanese couple next to us that did not speak English
we talked all night with help of their phone translation app.
At the end of the night they were so happy someone talked to them, they invited
us to Japan to stay with them during the next Olympics

I thought I want to go again! It was a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful sunset and Waikiki from the sea at a great value with my spouse. We had plenty of drinks and felt the nice breeze, making it the best memory!

また行きたい！と思いました
お値打ちに、素敵なサンセットと海から見るワイキキと夫婦で楽しめる時間でした
お酒も十分頂き、気持ちいい風を感じ最高の思い出となりました！

Every detal covered.
Very friendly smooth sailing. Performers are multi talented and put heart into the shows.

Fun for all ages.

I was not expecting such an amazing adventure!
I loved it! and I would love to do it again!

Originally, this experience deserved about five stars. The all-you-can-drink service was attentive, and they provided towels to those who got splashed, even lending their own jackets to girls who looked cold. There were many Japanese guests during our time, about half of the group (especially since there was a group of around eight girls). It was worth going out to see sea turtles and, reportedly, whales, and the music and the sway of the boat were fantastic! The only disappointment was that we couldn't see the sunset, which was why we booked this plan... However, the illuminated cityscape after the sun went down was also amazing. I have fond memories of getting off the boat and getting my skirt all wet because I was slow. I would love to go again to see the sunset.

本来なら星5つ分くらいの内容でした。
飲み放題も行き届いてたし、水がかかった人にはタオルを渡してくれてたし、寒そうな女子には自分の上着も貸してあげてました。
私達の時には日本人が多く、半分くらいいました。(8人くらいの女子の団体がいたから余計と)
海ガメがいたり、クジラが見えた(らしい)と沖に出た甲斐があるし、音楽も揺れも最高でした！
ただ、サンセットが見れなかっただけがこのプランを頼んだのに残念でした…
でも日が落ちた後のライトアップされた街並みも最高。降りる時にはもたもたしてスカートびしょびしょになったのもいい思い出です。
またサンセットを見に乗りたいです。

The weather was wonderful, and the view of Waikiki from the sea was truly moving. The atmosphere and the all-you-can-drink situation made the champagne taste even better. By the time we returned to the ship, I was feeling pleasantly tipsy, whether from the rocking of the boat or the alcohol, and I have a bit of regret about that. The scenes I saw on the ship are still vividly etched in my memory.

天候にも恵まれ、洋上から眺めるワイキキはとても感動しました。その雰囲気や飲み放題のシチュエーションも相まってシャンパンも大変おいしくいただきました。帰船時には船の揺れなのか、アルコールのせいなのか心地よい酔いが回っておとなしくなってしまい少し反省してます。船上で見た光景は今でも鮮明に残っております。

We sped along to the Napali Coast. The waves were strong, and I got seasick.
While we were traveling by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins and were able to stop the boat for some watching.
The dolphins entertained us by jumping and even doing flips.
The sunset was also magnificent.
Additionally, we were able to go whale watching.
On the way there, there was a buffet with light snacks like crackers and cheese, and for dinner, we had a buffet with chicken, fried rice, pasta, and salad. The food was delicious.
The staff was friendly and attentive, always with a smile.

ナパリ・コーストまではけっこうスピード出して進みます。波もあるので船酔いになりました。
船で移動中は イルカの群と遭遇し、船を停めてウオッチングさせてもらえました。
イルカは何度もジャンプしながら側転もしてくれて楽しませてくれました。
夕日も素晴らしかったです。
また、鯨のウオッチングもできました。
行きはクラッカー、チーズ 等軽食のビッフェがあり、夕食にチキン、チャーハン、パスタ、サラダ等のビッフェがありました。味も美味しかったです。
スタッフの方も笑顔で対応もよかったです。

The ship was heaving too much. My family got seasick. But I could watch whales.

Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales. However, the breakfast buffet on the ship was very delicious, and we were able to relax while enjoying the vast ocean view. I look forward to the next opportunity.

残念ながら鯨を見ることはできませんでした。
しかし船の上での朝ご飯バイキングはとても美味しく、広大な海を眺めてのんびりとした時間を過ごすことができました。
また次の機会に期待します。

It was bustling and fully booked, probably due to the year-end and New Year holidays. About 80% of the guests were Japanese. The cheerful atmosphere created by the lovely foreign couples and crew made it very enjoyable and relaxing.

年末年始のためか、満席で賑わってました。
8割くらいが日本人でした。
外人の素敵なカップルやクルーの方の明るい雰囲気で、とても楽しく、またリラックスして過ごせました。

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the sunset Cruise. We had a small group, and it honestly felt like a private cruise. The drinks were amazing, and the view even better! Louis explained the history of the place as we cruised by, and it made the experience a memorable one for sure! Thank you!!

3階建てのクルーズでしたが、1階に座るように言われました。しかし、ウェイトレスが空いている席があれば別の階に移動してもいいと言ってくれたので、私たちは移動しました。それが素晴らしかったです。3階では、雲が多い日でしたが、夕日を見ました。それでも楽しめました。この場所を完全にお勧めします :)

It was 3 floor cruise, and we were told to seat on the 1st floor but waitress told us that we can move and go to different floor if the seats are vacant so we did and it was great. At 3rd floor, we saw sunset it was cloudy day but still enjoyed. I totally recommend this place:)

I participated for the first time. Although there were mostly foreign guests, I was able to see a beautiful sunset in a very friendly atmosphere. The sea and sky after the sun went down were also mystical, creating a dream-like experience. It was the unique charm of a small yacht. This became my best memory in Hawaii.

初めて参加しました。ほとんど外国の方ばかりでしたが、とてもフレンドリーな雰囲気の中美しい夕日が見れました。
日が落ちた後の海と空も神秘的で夢のような時間でした。
小ぶりのヨットならではの醍醐味。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

The food, service and entertainment was all wonderful! Would definitely do it again.

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I tried the Sunset Cruise for the first time.

It was even better than the sunset seen from the beach. It was also the best view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head. I will participate again.

Drunk Millennial Madness pretty much the whole cruise made for a less enjoyable time. I get that they are young, dumb & drunk and having a gr8 time ( I was there myself when I was their age ), but the non-stop yelling and screaming soured the overall mood.

Unfortunately for those of us who can handle alcohol I would suggest in the future that these sunset cruises be alcohol free ....

We were seated at a central window table. There was a leak from the ceiling (it was a sunny day).

Right after we started our meal, water droplets began falling onto our food and clothes. Our clothes were ruined, and of course, we couldn't eat. Three groups, including us, totaling eight people, faced this unfortunate situation.

Everyone was quite mature about it; no one got angry or excited. Instead, there were wry smiles of disbelief. But the mood definitely plummeted! It took a long time for them to respond, and as the countdown approached, we were finally moved to a new table and given food near the dimly lit back of the ship, close to the door leading outside the cabin.

We were looked at with puzzled expressions by other guests. We couldn't see the show in front of us, and our appetite had already vanished.

Despite splurging on a good seat, it turned into the worst countdown that I will remember for a lifetime. Of course, the captain did offer an apology...

中央の窓際席でした。天井より水漏れあり。（当日は晴天でした。）
食事開始早々に水滴が料理や洋服に落ちてきました。
洋服は台無しだし、食事はもちろん食べられません。
我々を含め３組８名の方が災難にあいました。
流石に皆さん大人です。切れて興奮する方はいませんでした。逆に呆れて苦笑い。でも気分は大盛り下がり！
対応に時間がかかりカウントダウンが近くなってようやく新しい席と料理が薄暗い船後部の通路・キャビン外に出るドア付近に設定されました。
他のお客さんに怪訝そうな目で見られました。
前方でのショウも見れませんし、すでに食欲はなくなっていました。

奮発していい席を取ったのに、一生記憶に残る最悪のカウントダウンになりました。
もちろん、キャプテンのお詫びの言葉はありましたが・・・

The crew were friendly and helpful, drinks were plentiful (both alcoholic and non), seating was ample and the view of the city, fireworks, stars & moon were stunning. This was my family's "make up" for not being able to stay awake for New Year's eve, and it was worth the cost and hassle of finding parking in Waikiki. My only request would be for better directions to the spot because Duke's is not obvious from the street, and also to remind people while we're checking in (and still on land) to use the bathroom of the nearby restroom - and point out where that is at.

This year, I went to Hawaii for the first time for a countdown party on the ocean!

The ship was so big, I wondered how many people could fit on it!

As soon as we boarded, we were served champagne, and the full-course meal along with the bottle of wine was absolutely delicious.

Finally! We went out on the deck for the countdown: 3, 2, 1.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The fireworks were amazing, and I was so moved that I cried.

It became a wonderful memory.

I want to spend the end of the year on a dinner cruise in Hawaii again!

今年はハワイ(^^♪
初めて、海の上でのカウントダウンパーティー(#^.^#)

すごい大きな船で、何名乗るの～？！
ってくらい大きな船でした。

乗船してすぐ、シャンパンをいただき、
お料理のフルコース、ボトルワインまで、最高に美味しかったです(^^♪

いよいよ！　デッキに出てカウントダウン　　３．２．１．
ＨＡＰＰＹＮＥＷＥＡＲ
花火が最高　　感激で涙が出ました(#^^#)

素敵な思い出になりました♡

また、年末はハワイのディナークルーズで過ごしたいです(^^♪

The cruise wrapped in a pleasant breeze and the light of the orange sunset was amazing. Cheers with Mai Tais and champagne with family and foreigners! Sharing genuine smiles... It’s not pretentious, but it’s full of Hawaiian and international vibes! The sunsets from the beach and the room are very beautiful in Hawaii, but... the sunset on the catamaran was something special. I think it’s the most stylish cruise. I’ll save the catamaran cruise while watching fireworks for next time!

心地よい風とオレンジ色のサンセットの光に包まれながらのクルーズは最高でした。
自然に家族や外国の方とマイタイやシャンパンで乾杯！　心から笑顔をかわす…
気取ってないけどハワイ感、外国感満載‼︎
ビーチやお部屋からのサンセットもとても綺麗なハワイだけど…
カタマランのサンセットはひと味違いました。
最高にオシャレなクルーズだと思います。
花火を観ながらのカタマランクルーズを次回のお楽しみにとっておきます。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales. However, the weather for the cruising was perfect, so I felt good.

クジラが見えなかったことが残念でした。しかしクルージングには最高の天気だったので、気分は良かったです。

Mi abuela conoció Oahu el año pasado y este fue el único crucero económico que encontré. Afortunadamente encontré asiento para ella. Pero en general es muy cozy para todas las personas que habían
Menos gente puede hacer más ameno el Viaje.
The sailor was handsome. So that’s a bonus

We had the perfect day to Watch Whales and go to see several in the bay. Great Cruise and Crew and the Buffet Lunch was pretty tasty.

The sunset was very beautiful and amazing. However, the dinner on the cruise ship was disappointing, so my rating is a bit lower. I had dinner at another restaurant afterwards.

サンセットとても綺麗で最高でした。が、客船タイプディナーがお粗末で評価は少しがっかり。
また、別の店でディナーしました。

You can enjoy a wonderful sunset while sipping a delicious Mai Tai! This time, we also saw a beautiful rainbow, making for a very satisfying sailing experience. I highly recommend it.

美味しいマイタイを飲みながらの素敵なサンセットが見られます！今回美しい虹も見られ、大満足のセイリングでした。オススメです。

On January 2nd, I participated in the first day of the whale watching season. The weather was perfect, and I was excited to join, but unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. It seems that sometimes days like this happen, but if you don't see any whales, you can show a re-participation ticket (issued at the ticket center after disembarking) to get on another boat for free during that season. However, you must make your own way to the boarding area.

Due to our schedule, we couldn't try again during our stay this time, but if you're really eager to see whales, it might be a good idea to plan for a backup day in case you don't see any.

However, we did get to see a pod of dolphins, and the staff were all very kind.

1月2日、クジラウォッチングシーズンの初日に参加。
最高のお天気でワクワクしながら参加しましたが、残念ながら、クジラは見れませんでした。
たまにはこんな日もあるようですが、見れなかった場合、再参加のチケット(船を降りてからチケットセンターで発行)を見せればその年のシーズン中は再度船に無料で乗せてくれるみたいです。
但し、船乗り場までは自分で来ることが条件です。
私達は今回はスケジュールの都合上、滞在中に再度トライはできませんでしたが、どうしてもクジラを見たい方は、もしも見れなかった時の為に予備日も考えていたらいいかもしれません。

でも、イルカの群れを少し見ることができましたし、スタッフの方は皆さんとても親切でした。

I participated on the first day of the season. I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. It was disappointing since the kids were also looking forward to it, but I understand that it's all about luck. If I have the chance to come back in winter, I would like to try again.

シーズン初めての日に参加しました。
楽しみにしていましたがクジラを見ることができませんでした。こればっかりは運もあるので仕方がなかったのですが、子供達も楽しみにしていたので残念でした。
冬に来る機会があればリベンジしたいと思います。
