All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We saw so many whales and the crew was fabulous! We will do this again.

We’ve taken this cruise several times and love it every time! The food is excellent, the crew is so accommodating, the music is relaxing and Captain Rick is the best. The water was a little ruff so the crew waited on us hand and foot. Captain Rick was funny and went further out in the ocean to avoid a rain shower on the way back so everyone didn’t get soaked. Oh! And Boyd is full of history stories about the island. We strongly recommend this dinner cruise for everyone. There were 2 elderly people on the cruise and the crew got them on board and to their seat safely. We would rather take this cruise then go to a luau. Great job Body Glove!

Last time, I couldn't board because I didn't make a reservation, so this time I booked in Japan.

On the day of the cruise, it coincided with the last day of the Honolulu Festival (fireworks festival), and I received a notice that the cruise would be temporarily canceled. However, it changed to a notice saying that there would be restrictions on the roads due to the festival, so please be careful... What a relief...

Finally, the long-awaited cruise! From the commemorative photo before boarding to spotting whales during the voyage, it was thrilling... Above all, the open bar was the best. The homemade Mai Tai was amazing!! The MC was fantastic too!!

I felt that wearing clothes that could get wet and, depending on the season, a windbreaker was necessary. The person next to me looked super cold in a T-shirt and hot pants...

I definitely think it will be a memorable experience...

I highly recommend it.

前回は予約せずに行ったので乗船出来ませんでしたので、今回は日本で
予約をしました。

当日はホノルルフェスティバルの最終日（花火大会）と重なり
一時クルージングが中止になると連絡が有ったが、中止ではなく
フェスティバルで道など規制があるので注意して下さいとの連絡に
変わりました。。。。一安心・・・・

それで待ちにまったクルージングですが、乗船前の記念写真から
航海中、鯨も偶然見られ感激。。。。
何よりオープンバーが最高でした。
自家製マイタイも最高！！
ＭＣも最高！！

濡れても良い服装と時期によってはウィンドブレーカが必要と感じました。
隣の方はＴシャツにホットパンツで超寒そうでした。。。

絶対に記念になると思います。。

お勧めします。

This was my fourth time in Hawaii, and having previously experienced sunset dinner cruises like the Star of Honolulu, I wanted to enjoy the sunset in a different way, so I joined this course. Fortunately, the weather was great, and I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset. Unlike the dinner cruises, this experience had a wild feel to it, allowing me to fully enjoy the sense of being abroad. However, everything from the reception to the staff guidance on board was in English, and the ratio of Western guests was quite high, so the way the atmosphere built up on the ship was different from what I'm used to as a Japanese person, which made me feel a bit out of place. Nevertheless, I had a great time overall! I highly recommend it.

4度目のハワイで、過去にスターオブホノルルなどのサンセットディナークルーズも体験しましたので、何か違う方法でサンセットを楽しみたいと思い
このコースに参加しました。幸いお天気にも恵まれてとてもきれいな夕日も楽しめました。ディナークルーズとは違い、ワイルドな感じでより外国に来た感を満喫できました。ただし、受付、船上でのスタッフの案内もすべて英語、乗船客も欧米の方の比率がとても高く、船上での盛り上がり方が日本人とは違うので少々ノリについていけないというか、アウウェイ感は高いです。
しかし、それも含めてとても楽しめました！おススメです。

Shortly after setting sail, we were able to see two shadows, and the journey continued alongside a mother and her calf. It was a tour where we shared the excitement with the crew while watching their backs, dorsal fins, and occasionally seeing them spout water.

The crew and captain's announcements were in English, but perhaps because there were many Japanese participants, they used simple words. We were also able to view specimens of vertebrae and some simple research materials, and they provided explanations while we looked at them.

Although the weather in the Waikiki area was unfortunate, we were not caught in the rain while at sea and were able to enjoy a relaxing time while watching a beautiful rainbow.

出航してまもなく、２つの影を見ることができ、そのまま親子二頭に付き添う航海でした。
背中、尾びれ、たまに潮吹きを見守りながらクルーさんと感動を分かち合う、そんなツアーでした。

クルー、船長さんのアナウンスは英語ですが、日本人の多いツアーだからか、簡単な単語を使ってくれます。
背骨の標本や、簡単な研究資料なども閲覧可能で、見ていると説明もしてくださいました。

ワイキキエリアはあいにくのお天気でしたが、海上で雨に降られることもなく、綺麗な虹を見ながらのんびりした時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated based on the information that whales are still migrating in March. But in the end, it was just a brief glimpse of something far away, and I couldn't tell if it was really a whale or not. We weren't given any re-boarding tickets either. Hmm, is this how it usually is...? I've heard rumors that they haven't been seen at all for the past two weeks. I wish they had canceled it then... The wind was also too strong, and it wasn't pleasant at all. I won't be doing this again!

3月は鯨がまだ回遊しているという情報をもとに参加。　でも結局ほんとに遠くにチラッと見えたか見えないかで終了。　再乗船券も配られず。う〜ん　こんなもんなんですかねぇ〜。。。　風の噂にここ２週間ぐらい全然見えないと言う事。　なら中止して欲しかった。。。　風もあまりに強く気持ちよかったわけでもなく。　再度はないですね！

I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking the hotels and beaches of Waikiki, as well as Diamond Head.

Since it had rained earlier, there was a rainbow, and I was lucky enough to see a whale spouting water, making for a fulfilling time.

ワイキキのホテルやビーチ、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望でき綺麗な夕日を楽しむことができました。

雨が降った後だったので虹が出ていたり
運良くクジラの潮吹きも見れたりと充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

Since watching Jurassic Park, I had always wanted to visit the Na Pali Coast. However, my expectations were too high, and I was a bit disappointed. My daughters, who joined me, seemed to have a great time and were very excited. The crew members were also very kind, which was nice.

ジュラシックパークを見て以来いつかはきたいと思っていたナパリコースト。妄想が膨らみすぎてガッカリだった。一緒に参加した娘たちは大はしゃぎでとても楽しかったみたいです。クルーの方もとても親切でよかったです。

The scenery wasn't as impressive as I expected, but I was able to see whales in the distance. The staff were very good.

思ったほどの景色ではありませんでしたが、鯨を遠くに見ることができました。スタッフの方々はとてもよかったです。

I participated with my girlfriend as a graduation trip. The food was delicious, and the pineapple, in particular, was exquisite. We took photos before boarding, and I was very satisfied with the service that offered data for around 1000 yen during the cruise! When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.

卒業旅行として彼女と参加しました。
料理も美味しく、特にパイナップルは絶品でした
乗船前に写真を撮り、その後クルーズ中に1000円前後でデータをプレゼントというサービスも大変満足しました！
またハワイに訪れたときは、是非とも参加したいと思います。

I was skeptical about whether I would be able to see whales, but I was able to see a mother and baby whale beautifully. It was truly amazing. There was also an announcement in Japanese on the boat. The boat was clean and nice as well. It became a wonderful memory.

クジラを観れるかどうか半信半疑でしたが、見事に親子のクジラを観ることができました。ほんとに最高でした。船上では日本語のアナウンスもありました。船も綺麗で良かったです。
良い思い出になりました。

We had the most fun time on the boat. The water of Waikiki can’t be explained. The staff was very friendly, as they say with a lot of “aloha spirit”. Great music and it’s open bar, you can’t go wrong with any of that. Music was on point, and the whales decided to give us a show as well. Hands down, the best activity in Hawaii, so worthy!!!

With excitement in our hearts, we boarded the luxurious cruise ship "Star of Honolulu." We chose the "no meal option," but since the gathering was early in the morning, many people were enjoying a buffet breakfast on board.

As we cruised off the coast of Waikiki, we spotted about three whales, but we could mostly see just their backs. Just when we were about to give up, we finally witnessed a blow (spouting) scene, which brought us a sense of relief.

　期待に胸膨らませながら豪華クルーズ船「スターオブホノルル号」に乗船。
我々は「食事なしコース」を選択しましたが、集合が早朝だったので船内でブッフェ形式の朝食を摂っている人たちも多くいました。
　ワイキキ沖合をクルーズしていると、３頭ほど鯨が見られましたがほとんどが背中の部分のみ、諦めかけていた時ついにブロー(潮吹き)シーンが見られ、まあ何とか安堵の気持ちになりました。

I previously participated in a regular sailing to enjoy the sunset, so this time I signed up because I could see the fireworks on Friday night. Watching the fireworks from the boat was a different experience compared to viewing them from Waikiki Beach, and it was great. There was nothing obstructing the view, so I could see the fireworks clearly from the moment they launched and as they continued to go off one after another.

It was a bit disappointing that we stopped the boat early and stayed in the same spot for quite a long time to watch the fireworks. It gets chilly at night, so bringing a windbreaker was definitely the right choice.

以前は、サンセットを楽しむ通常のセーリングに参加したので、今回は金曜夜の花火が見られるということで申し込みました。
船上からの花火観賞は、ワイキキビーチから見るのとは、また違った感じで良かったです。何も遮るものがないので、花火が上がる瞬間から、次々と打ち上がる様子がよく見えました。
花火を見るため、早めに船を停めて結構長時間同じ場所に留まっていたのが、残念。
夜は冷え込むのでウィンドブレーカーは、持って行って正解でした。

The fireworks on Friday ended in the blink of an eye, but it was very pleasant to watch and became a great memory. It was fun to enjoy drinks together while being on the yacht.

金曜の花火はあっと言うまに終わりましたがとても心地よく見られて良い思い出になりました。ヨットの中も飲み物を飲みながら皆で盛り上がって楽しかったです

One of the highlights of our trip! Great atmosphere and staff. We had 6 of us ages 22-26 and it was a blast!

I had a reservation starting at 5:00 PM, but for some reason, I was guided to a course starting at 5:30 PM and ended up waiting on the beach for an hour feeling anxious. This year in Hawaii seems to be quite cold, and I think it would be tough without a somewhat thick jacket on the water. In fact, there were people wearing thin down jackets. We wore hoodies, but we ended up putting on the windbreakers we had brought as a backup while on the water. Although you won't get splashed by waves, you do have to enter the water when boarding and disembarking, so if you're wearing long pants or a long skirt, it's better to wear something that can be rolled up to above the knees. The reception and everything else is in English. During our time there, about 80% of the guests were from English-speaking countries, except for six Japanese people and a family of four from Korea. Before boarding, there is a photo service that takes pictures without asking, and after disembarking, you're encouraged to purchase them for around $20. For some reason, even though we had our pictures taken, we ended up with none. The sailing itself was wonderful, and even while enjoying drinks on the water, I didn't feel seasick and had a great time.

17:00からを予約していたのですが、なぜか17:30からのコースを案内され、不安なまま1時間砂浜で待つことになりました。
今年のハワイはかなり寒いようで、海上ではやや厚手の上着がないとつらいと思います。実際、薄手のダウンを着ている人もいました。私たちは、パーカーを着ていましたが予備で持っていたウインドブレーカーを海上では着ていました。波をかぶったりすることはないのですが、乗船と下船には水の中に入るので、長ズボンやロングスカートを着用する場合は、膝上までたくし上げられるものにしたほうがいいと思います。受付その他全て英語対応です。私たちの時は、日本人６人と韓国人家族４人以外の8割方は英語圏の方でした。乗船前に、写真を撮るサービスがあり有無を言わさず撮られ、下船後に20ドルくらいで購入を勧められます。私たちはなぜか撮影したにもかかわらず、写真がないという…。セーリング自体はとても素晴らしく、海上でアルコールを飲みながらでしたが酔うこともなく楽しめました。

On February 9th, our family of seven participated. We chose the option with transportation, and the pickup was smooth. Upon arrival, we boarded the boat and immediately had breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, sausages, bread, watermelon, pineapple, and drinks of coffee and orange juice—please refer to the photos. After breakfast, we enjoyed about an hour and a half of cruising. The weather was great that day, and we had a wonderful view of the streets of Hawaii and Diamond Head. As for the whales, we saw them very well. At first, there was one, and later on, two came to visit us, and we could see their tails clearly. I believe everyone who participated that day had the best smiles. I read in other reviews that some people experienced seasickness, but since it’s nature, I think it can’t be helped. We were lucky to have a calm sea cruise under clear skies, so we didn’t get seasick. This event was suggested by my wife, and I truly think it was a great decision to go. Thank you very much to all the staff for providing us with such a wonderful experience and memories of our trip.

2月9日に家族7名で参加しました。送迎付きを選択しましたが、スムーズにピックアップしてもらいました。到着し船に乗りすぐに朝食でしたが、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、パン、スイカやパイナップル、飲み物はコーヒーとオレンジジュースで、写真を参考にして下さい。朝食後、約一時間半のクルージングでしたが、当日は天気も良く、ハワイの街並み、ダイアモンドヘッドも良く見え素晴らしいものでした。あと、肝心のクジラですが、本当に良く見えました。最初は一頭、最後の方には二頭がやって来てくれ、いずれも尻尾が良く見え、当日、参加した人全員が最高の笑顔だったと思います。他の人の口コミで船酔いをしたとの書き込みがありましたが、自然相手のことですので仕方ないのではないかと思います。私達は晴天の中で静かな海のクルージングでしたので、船酔いをしなかったのは、本当に幸運でした。今回のイベントは妻の提案で行くことになりましたが、行って本当に良かったと思います。スタッフの皆さん、旅の思い出として、とても良い経験をさせていただき本当にありがとうございました。

I was glad to see many whales, but I thought I would be able to see them a bit closer. Overall, I am satisfied.

たくさんクジラが見れたので良かったのですが、もう少し近くで見られると思ってました。
おおむね満足です。

At first, I thought it wouldn't be much since the price was low, but the crew was great at getting everyone excited. Even though I couldn't speak Japanese, it didn't matter; they worked hard to engage us with gestures. There were many foreigners, but we could all enjoy the experience together. When the fireworks went off, the excitement peaked again.

It was truly fun, and if I come to Hawaii again, I definitely plan to join this again.

最初は　値段も安いし
たいしたことはない　だろうと思って
乗り込みましたが
クルーの方々の盛り上げ方がうまい。
日本語が通じないけど　そんなの関係なく
一生懸命　身振り手振りで盛り上げてくれる
外人が多かったけど
知らない人たちと一緒に盛り上がれる
花火が打ちあがると
またまた大盛り上がり

本当に楽しくて
また　ハワイにきたら
次も絶対乗ろう思っています。

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

This was absolutely amazing!! It had everything! We had a fabulous meal of steak and lobster, watched the Polynesian show which was amazing and saw whales several times for the first time! We had the Captain renew our vows after 21 years together. He did it at the helm of the ship and the view was absolutely beautiful! I would definitely do this again, the crew was amazing and our every need was tended to! It was the absolutely perfect way to spend our 21st anniversary!!!

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only caught a glimpse of the tail towards the end of the cruise, but this time, I was able to see both the spout and the tail several times! If you go expecting something like the promotional photos, you might feel disappointed. Everything from check-in to disembarking the boat is in English, so I was a bit worried about what to do in case of an emergency, but the boat itself was large and stable, so I felt safe on board. It was great to see the views of Waikiki and the east side of Diamond Head from a different perspective.

2回目の参加です。前回は、クルーズ終わり頃に尾がチラッと見えただけでしたが、今回は、潮吹きも尾も何度か見ることができました！
宣伝写真のようなのを期待して行くと、残念な気になると思います。
受付から船を降りるまで、すべて英語なので、万が一の時はどうしよう•••と思いましたが、船自体は大きくて揺れも少なく、安心して乗っていられました。
沖からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの東側など普段と違う方角からの景色が観られて良かったです。

I was satisfied with everything.
From the transportation to the service on the boat,
seeing the sunset and Waikiki from the sea, and finally even spotting a whale made for a very enjoyable time.
The staff's response was also wonderful.

全てに満足でした
送迎から船内でのサービス
夕日や海からのワイキキ、最後にクジラまで見れて、とても楽しい一時でした。
スタッフの方達の対応も素晴らしかったです。

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

It was a rare perfect sunny day for winter. The view of the Waikiki skyline and Diamond Head from the boat was different and wonderful compared to seeing it from land. I was able to see whales five times, but they only appeared a bit far away, which was a little disappointing.

冬の時期にしては珍しく完璧な快晴。船から見るワイキキのビル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドは陸から見るのと違い良かった。クジラは5回見ることができたが少し遠くにしか現れずちょっと不満でした。

This whale watching experience was amazing. I was impressed by the onboard buffet as well. Another thing that moved me was the clear blue sea. I wonder how it becomes such an emerald green?

今回のホエールウォッチは最高でした。見れたこともありますが船内バイキングに感動してました。
もうひとつ感激したのは青く澄み渡った海です。どうしてこんなエメラルドグリーンになるんだろうか？

I learned that fireworks are launched every Friday, so I made a reservation for Friday. At the meeting point, Mai Tai, we were able to watch the sunset before departure, and the fireworks viewed from the boat while enjoying drinks were very beautiful. It was also great to see the night view of Hawaii from the sea. When getting on and off the boat, you might get wet, so it's a good idea to bring a towel and prepare for getting wet.

毎週金曜日に花火があがる情報を知り、金曜日に予約をとりました。集合場所のマイタイでは、出航前に夕日を見る事ができ、お酒を飲みながら船で見る花火はとてもキレイでした。また海からみるハワイの夜景も見れたので良かったです。船から乗り降りする時は濡れるので、タオルと濡れても大丈夫な用意しておいた方が良いです。

I participated from the morning of February 22, and the shuttle driver was a nice person. I chose the no-meal plan. Once on the ship, we were guided based on whether we had a meal or not. It felt like there was a designated meal time. During that time, guests without meals were left waiting. Fortunately, it was sunny, and I think we could enjoy the cruise comfortably. We were able to catch a glimpse of a mother and baby whale's backs. So, it might be better not to expect jumping or anything like that. If you're hoping to see at least their backs, there are many spots on land where you can observe them, so I feel this tour is worthwhile for those who want to enjoy the cruise without regrets.

2月22日朝からの参加で送迎のお兄さんもいい方でした。食事無プランを選択。船内へ入ると食事有無で案内されます。説明も兼ねてでしたが、食事の時間が設けられていたように感じました。その間、無しのお客さんは待っている状態です。幸いな事に晴れていてクルーズ自体気持ち良く楽しめると思います。メインの鯨も親子で背中をチラッと拝むことが出来ました。なので、ジャンピング等は期待せず行った方が良いかもしれません。背中だけでも見れたらな。という方は陸から観れるスポットも多々あるので、クルーズも楽しみたい方は後悔しないツアーだと感じます。

We went on the Friday 21 and over sunset cruise.
The crew was great, the drinks were great, the people on the cruise were great and the weather was great. We will go again the next time in Waikiki.
I know a lot of greats, but the cruise was great.
