All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

This is my second time participating. This time I brought my 1-year-old and 8-year-old children, and the staff were very kind, and all the passengers were nice people.

2回目の参加です。今回は1歳と8歳の子供連れでしたが、スタッフの対応が親切でしたし、乗客の皆さんも良い人ばかりでした。

I do not understand English, but both elderly and young people can enjoy sunset and drinking. It became a good memory of Hawaii. Thank you!

We participated as a family of four. For those who couldn't drink alcohol, there were soft drinks available. At first, we were served a drink made with juice and gin (?), and then we could refill our drinks; our family finished a bottle of champagne. Just as we started to feel the effects of the alcohol, the sunset was beautiful, and it felt wonderful. However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick, and food was not allowed, so we were just drinking. On that day, we were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly, and we had a great time.

家族4人で参加しました。アルコールが飲めない人はソフトドリンクもありました。最初にジュースとジン（？）を割ったお酒が配られ、あとはお代わりをするシステムで我が家はシャンパンを一本飲み干しました。
丁度、お酒の酔いが回ったぐらいで夕日が沈み、とても気分が良かったです。
ただ、結構揺れるので、船酔いする方は厳しいのと、フードはＮＧなのでひたすら飲んでいました。
この日は日本人は私たちだけでしたが、みなさんフレンドリーで楽しめました。

I'm glad I went! The sunset sinking into the ocean in Hawaii was amazing. I didn't plan to drink, but the staff kept making Mai Tais and handed them to me forcefully. (laughs) Among a few Asian couples, including my husband and me, the staff was very energetic and explained everything in English, but everyone was friendly and it felt very cheerful. Other guests were the same. During the cruise, they played music continuously, making it quite lively during the sunset moment. I ended up buying the photo taken before boarding. It was a pretty good picture with the boat and Diamond Head in the background.

乗ってよかった！ハワイの海にしずむサンセットは最高でした。
飲まないつもりでしたがスタッフがマイタイ？をガンガン作って強引に渡されました。笑　私たち夫婦含めアジア系は数組ほどの中、スタッフのテンション高い説明も英語のみですが、みなフレンドリー、和気あいあいという感じ。他のお客さんも。航行中はサンセットの瞬間もずっと音楽かけっぱなし、やたら賑やかです。
乗船前に撮られた写真、買ってしまいました。船とダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにした、けっこういい写真だったので。

enjoyable sunset cruise with cocktails included great photo opportunity with stunning views of Diamond head and shoreline would definitely recommend this cruise good value for money

Beautiful and fun sunset cruise!!! Staff was so pleasant and never let us go without a drink. My new husband and I were in Ohau for our honeymoon and this cruise was a perfect way to get out on the water! Drinks were of great quantity and got us buzzed! The sunset was stunning and we saw two whales breach. Would definitely book this again! and highly recommend!

If you plan to drink alcohol at the reception area, you will need to show your passport and get a stamp on the back of your hand. You will need to show this stamp when ordering alcohol on board. You will wait for about 15 minutes before boarding. After that, a group photo will be taken in front of the ship. (After the cruise, when you disembark, they will ask you in English if you would like to buy the developed photo for $20, so you can purchase it there if you're interested.)

Once on board, all announcements will be made in English. I don't understand the content, but the sunset is beautiful, and the people around are cheerful, which makes it enjoyable just to watch. For those who cannot drink alcohol, soft drinks like pineapple juice are available, so there's no need to worry. There are no snacks, but towards the end, a small bag of potato chips will be passed around for each person. If you're worried about getting seasick, it might be a good idea to have a little something to eat before boarding.

Lastly, there is a restroom on the ship (in the lower deck), but it is a bit unclean for Japanese standards. When I went in, there was no toilet paper, so it's a good idea to bring tissues just in case. It's best to use the restroom before boarding! However, if you can't hold it and need to use the restroom, you can ask a female instructor for directions.

受付の場所で、お酒を飲む予定の方はパスポートを提示して、手の甲あたりにスタンプを押してもらいます。そのスタンプ船上でお酒を注文する際に見せて注文するようでした。
乗船するまでは約15分程度待ちます。
そのあと船の前で人グループずつ写真を撮られます。(クルーズ終了後、船を降りる際に現像した写真を手に、20ドルで買いませんか？と英語で尋ねてきますので、欲しいな方はそこで購入できます。)
そして乗船し、終始英語で案内があります。
内容は分かりませんが、夕焼けは綺麗だし、周りの方々は陽気で見ているだけで楽しい気分にはなれます。
お酒が飲めない方もパイナップルジュースなどのソフトドリンクは用意されているので安心です。
軽食などはありませんが、最後らへんに小袋のポテトチップスなどが一人一袋回ってきます。
悪酔いしないように心配な方は少しお腹を満たしてから乗ったほうがいいかと思います。
最後に、船の中(船底)にトイレはありますが、日本人にはちょっと耐えがたい汚さです。また、私が入った際にはトイレットペーパーが無かったので、念のためティッシュは持っていったほうがいいかと思います。
トイレは乗船前にあらかじめ済ませたほうがいいです！でも我慢できずトイレを利用する際には女性のインストラクター？の方に声をかけると場所を教えてくださいます。

We had an great time and the staff was awesome. It was a beautiful evening on the water and enjoyed everyone on board.

The views from the catamaran sail tour were outstanding. I saw two humpback whales breach. The crew was so friendly and helpful. It's a very popular tour, though, so book ahead on line to assure that you are able to have the experience. If your staying on Waikiki Beach, you can just walk down the beach to get on board. I would go again.

The explanation for the transfer from the hotel to the cruise ship was in English, so I could hardly understand it. The food was delicious, but the inside of the ship was cold, and there were people drinking hot water. There was quite a bit of time until the fireworks, and it was disappointing that the other children got bored and started running around.

ホテルからクルーズ船まで送迎での説明は英語でしたので　ほぼわからずでした。
食事は美味しくいただきましたが船内が寒くて白湯を飲んでる人たちもいらっしゃる状態でした。
花火までの時間がかなりあり　他の子供たちは飽きてしまい運動場化してたのが残念！

I participated in the sunset cruise on a catamaran. On the day of the event, we gathered at the catamaran booth located by the beachside of the Sheraton Hotel. There were already participants gathered, and once on board, there were about 40 people, creating a lively atmosphere.
It was an open bar, and the cocktail called Mai Tai was very delicious. I thought the drink list was also extensive and great.
The sunset was magnificent, and I was able to spend a wonderful time on the waters of Hawaii. It was a thoroughly satisfying two hours.

カタマラン号のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。当日はシェラトンホテルのビーチサイドにあるカタマランブース集合でした。既に参加者が集まっており、乗船すると40名程居て賑わっていました。
オープンバー方式となっていて、マイタイと呼ばれるカクテルがとても美味しかったです。ドリンクのリストも豊富で良かったと思います。
夕焼けも見事で、ハワイの海から素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。大満足の2時間でした。

Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I went directly to the meeting place. Please note that there is no office at the meeting location. I used Google Maps for navigation, and there were both Japanese and foreign participants. Drinks and snacks were provided as we departed. The yacht ride was comfortable, and we enjoyed views of Diamond Head and Oahu from the ocean side, which are not usually seen during sunset. There was plenty of time to enter the water, but I didn't go in because I didn't bring a snorkel, there didn't seem to be many fish, and it looked cold. However, those who did go in seemed to be having a great time floating around. If I had brought a snorkel, I might have gone in since I enjoy seeing underwater. On the way back, it felt quite cool due to the wind, so I think it's essential to have something to wear, especially during this season.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊だったので直接集合場所へ。集合場所にオフィスがある訳ではありませんのでご注意を。私はGoogleマップでナビして行きました半分日本人、半分外国の方での利用。飲み物、菓子類を出発と同時に案内してくれました。ヨットの乗り心地も良くサンセットまでは普段見ることのない海側からのダイヤモンドヘッド、オアフ島を見れました。海に入る時間も十分ありましたが、シュノーケルを持ってきてなかったこと、魚がいそうではなかったこと、寒そうだったこともあり私は入りませんでしたが、入っている方はプカプカと楽しそうでした。シュノーケルを持って行ってれば海中を見ることは好きなので入っていたかも。帰りは風もあり、かなり涼しく感じられるので羽織るものは特にこの時期は絶対必要だと思います。

The sunset was amazing and moving! The Mai Tai has less alcohol, so I think even those who are not strong with alcohol can enjoy it. The wind is strong and it's a bit chilly, so you'll need something to wear.

サンセットが素晴らしくて感動❣️マイタイはアルコール少なめなのでお酒の弱い方でも飲めると思います風が強く肌寒いので羽織るモノは必要です。

Fantastic cruise!!!
Friendly crew
Good music
Great Cocktails
Fun couple of hours. Good time was had by all and would love to do it again.

Great experience off of the coast of Waikiki. Our crew did a great job of keeping our drinks full the whole cruise. Beautiful views of the coastline and the sunset. Great price for the experience. Would definitely recommend!

The participants were multinational. The crew spoke English, but there was no language barrier. They did a great job of keeping the atmosphere lively. There was a wide variety of drinks, and the sunset over Waikiki from the sea was amazing. I would love to go again. However, when you drink, you will need to go to the restroom... Be sure to take care of that before boarding. It seems there is a restroom in the bottom of the boat in case of emergencies. Just let the crew know.

参加者は多国籍でしたね。クルーは英語ですが言葉の壁は有りません。上手に盛り上げてくれます。お酒の種類も豊富で海から見るワイキキの夕暮れもサイコー。また、乗りたいと思いました。
ただ、飲めばトイレに行きたくなるもの…。乗船前には必ず済ませて下さい。緊急時には船底にトイレが有るようです。クルーに声がけを。

I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to see whales and a full moon. The hospitality of the staff was also wonderful, and it became a great memory.

夕陽は見れなかったけど、クジラや満月が見れました。スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティも大変すばらしく、良い思い出になりました。

Captain & Kevin were a lot of fun. Great to get out on the water to watch the sunset. Spotted some whales too! Highly recommend this couples trip!

This was such a great ride. The guys are awesome. Going to head down and book it for another night!

This was the perfect ending to a beautiful day. Location was convenient, boat was beautiful, crew superb. Great atmosphere and the sunset was incredible. Could not have asked for better!

This was an absolutley amazing experience! I had this planned for my last night on Oahu and it didnt disappoint! Amazing people, with even more amazing views. Island Magic is a beautiful Catamaran to escape on. You can even bring drinks, just so long as it's not in a glass container. Swimming off the boat was an adventure I'll never forget. Definitely 100% totally worth it!

My friends and I wanted a good-priced sunset booze cruise with drinks included so this was the perfect option for us. You depart right in front of Dukes restaurant on Waikiki beach so it's really convenient location if you're staying in Waikiki. Three drinks are included and we sailed all the way to Diamond Head. I am very prone to getting sea sick, but I took bonine 1 hour prior to the sail and I was completely fine. I would totally recommend this cruise for someone wanting a relaxing activity to enjoy the sunset on the ocean

I participated in the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii. It was cloudy and there was occasional rain, so I didn't expect much from the sunset, but once the boat went out to sea, the clouds cleared and we were able to see a beautiful sunset! I was also thrilled to spot dolphins and whales in the distance! The crew was always attentive to our drinks. The Mai Tai cocktail was very delicious, so I highly recommend it. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, but I didn't find it inconvenient at all.

ハワイ到着日の夕方に参加しました。
曇っていたり雨が時々ぱらついていたのでサンセットは期待せず乗船したのですが、船が沖に出たら雲が取れて綺麗なサンセットが見れました!またイルカとクジラも遠くにですが拝めて感動！クルーの方は常にドリンクを気にかけてくれます。カクテルのマイタイがとっても美味しいのでおすすめです。日本を話せるスタッフの方はいらっしゃいませんでしたが、何も不便はなかったです。

We participated as a couple. There were 5 groups, including us, totaling 11 people, and about half were Japanese, with plenty of space available. We were advised to buy drinks and snacks at a convenience store before boarding since outside food and drinks were allowed. It seemed that water and crackers (peanut butter sandwiches) were available for free, but perhaps due to a language barrier, no one seemed to take them as they weren't strongly encouraged. After heading out to sea for a while, we had some time to swim. We didn't plan to swim, but everyone else seemed to be enjoying it. However, it looked quite cold after getting out, so it would be wise to bring a jacket or something. The weather was nice, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset offshore! The staff were friendly and had a relaxed vibe, which was great!

夫婦で参加しました。
乗客は私達を含めて5組、11名と半数は日本人で席に余裕がありました。
乗船前に飲物などコンビニで買うように勧められました。　持ち込み自由なので。
水とクラッカー（ピーナツクリームサンド）が自由にいただけるようでしたが、英語が聞き取れなかったのか、強く勧められた感じもなく誰も取らずでした。
沖にでるでしばらくすると泳ぐ時間が取られます。
私達は泳ぐつもりがなかったですが、皆さん楽しんで泳いでいました。ただ、上がった後がかなり寒そうでしたので、上着などは持参した方がよさそうです。
天気も良く沖合がサンセット見られて最高でした！
スタッフさんもフレンドリーで気楽な感じで良かったです！

Enjoyed sail wish it would have lasted a little longer, be on the water when sunset. Drinks were good would have liked a few more choices

A typical dinner cruise. The round table for eight was too cramped to enjoy the meal. To be honest, the food wasn't good either. The show and live performance were of low quality, making it a disappointing tour.

よくあるディナークルーズ。丸テーブルに8人掛けは狭過ぎて食事も楽しめない。その食事もハッキリ言って美味しくなかった。ショーも生演奏もレベルが低くガッカリなツアーでした。

The night view was beautiful, and I had a great time. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the drinks! I definitely want to recommend this to those who are going for their honeymoon. I want to go again!

夜景が綺麗でとても楽しめました。
お酒も飲めて雰囲気最高でした！
これからハネムーンで行かれる方にも是非おすすめしたいです。
また行きたいです！

Nice budget friendly trip. Great to enjoy the skyline. Getting in and out of boat was in the water.

A bit rough waters but the crew handed it beautifully! So fun and helpul...great guys!! Highly recommend!!

This was an absolutely wonderful trip that included drinks, music, and a lot of fun. The drinks were great but be prepared to only have the option between Carona and Mai Tais (which were strong and well made). The music was a combination of rap, pop, mixed with a little country and a variety of other genres. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking for a beautiful sunset in an amazing city with a lively crew.
