All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

The captain and the friendly staff created a wonderful atmosphere on board, making for a very enjoyable sailing experience. We were able to see the streets of Waikiki from offshore, providing a different perspective and allowing us to capture memories with our cameras. One thing that concerned me was that I was asked to submit a paper "liability waiver" when making the reservation, so I searched for a facility to print it early in the morning and brought it with me, but in the end, it was not requested, and I left without submitting it (I was having so much fun that I forgot to submit it, haha). Thank you for the enjoyable time.

キャプテンはじめ気さくなスタッフの皆さんにより船上の雰囲気が一体化してとても楽しいセイリングでした。ワイキキの街並みを沖合から見ることができ、いつもとは違った風景を見ることができ、思い出をカメラに収めました。一つだけ気になることは、予約時に紙での「免責同意書」の提出を求められ、早朝から印刷できる施設を探して持参しましたが結局求められなかったので提出しないまま帰路につきました。（楽しくて提出自体を忘れていました（笑））。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。

If you have a plan for sunset-boat in Honolulu, you absolutely have to choose this company.
It was awesome & great. I'll visit you again.
SEE YOU SOON^^

The staff is wonderful.
The ship is cool and spacious.
You can drink as much as you want. It's cheaper to drink here than at a restaurant.

スタッフが素晴らしい。
船がカッコイイし、広い。
飲み放題でしっかり飲めます。レストランで飲むより安くたくさん呑めます。

The crew was friendly, and the vibe was family-friendly and easygoing.

The views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline at golden hour were stunning. The vibe was relaxed and not too jam packed feeling.

This is our third time, in March 2023, March 2024, and June 2024. The refreshing feeling of the yacht, the beauty of the night view, the deliciousness of the Mai Tai, and the thoughtfulness of the crew all contribute to a full experience of enjoying Hawaii. We are a couple with a combined age of 139, but in Hawaii, the "Mai Tai Catamaran" has become a must-do event for us.

I made the right choice by joining this sunset cruise since I can't drink alcohol. We set sail at 5 PM and enjoyed about two and a half hours until sunset, and it was amazing to swim off the coast of Waikiki. The three young crew members operated the catamaran efficiently while ensuring our safety, which was impressive.

お酒が飲めないのでこちらのサンセットクルーズに参加して大正解でした。
夕方5時に出航してサンセットまで約2時間半、ワイキキ沖で泳ぐ事もできて最高でした。若い3人のクルー達が安全に気を付けながらテキパキとカタマランを操作する様子もカッコよかったです。

This was my first time participating, and it was a wonderful experience. The boat didn't sway much, but occasionally we hit strong waves that splashed water, which was also a fun experience. Most people were enjoying Mai Tais, but since we are not good with alcohol, we opted for soft drinks. Along the way, we saw a rainbow over Diamond Head, and it became a lovely memory with beautiful scenery.

初めて参加しましたが、とてもいい体験でした。船はあまり揺れることがなかったのですが時折強い波に当たると水しぶきが飛んできますがそれも楽しい体験です。ほとんどの人がマイタイを美味しそうに飲んでいましたが、私たちはお酒に弱いのでソフトドリンクにしました。途中ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、すてきな景色も見ることができて良い思い出となりました。

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.

We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.

The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.

Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!

To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

まず、メイソンキャプテンの日本語がめちゃくちゃ上手い！
耳で覚えたとのことですが、日本人より上手いんじゃないか、ってくらいのレベルでびっくりしちゃいました。

日本人は僕らだけでしたが、全部のアナウンスに和訳も添えてくれて、なのにテンポ落とさずに全員を盛り上げていて、本当にすごい人です。

客層も良く、高齢の殿方とご婦人もいらっしゃいましたが皆さんシュノーケルで5mくらいある底まで潜っていらっしゃったりしてびっくりしました。
あとパークメンバーオンリーのお手洗いを急を要していた我々のために開けてくれたりして、素敵な方々でした。

コロナ前までは3-4割は日本人のお客さんだったそうですが、アフターコロナはほとんど日本人が戻ってきてないそうです。
ただ、英語苦手な方でも本当に全く困らないし、ご飯も美味しくて最高のアクティビティだったので、是非みんな行ってみて欲しいです！

toメイソンさん
婚約者の方とお幸せに！
ありがとうございました！

It was wonderful to enjoy a cruise while feeling the breeze. I was able to leisurely watch the passage of time and the sunset.

風を感じながらのクルーズ。時間の流れと日が沈んでいく様子をゆったりと見ることが出来てとても良かったです。

The staff was wonderful, and I'm definitely coming back! It was exciting to be able to swim after heading out to sea! The atmosphere was friendly and cheerful!

スタッフが素晴らしく、リピート確定です！沖に出てから泳げるのも盛り上がりました！和気あいあいとした雰囲気でした！

It was an explanation in English, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a wonderful and fun time. Along the way, I was able to see a big rainbow and a monk seal! It was great that there was a place to store our luggage as well.

英語だけの説明だったけど、特に困った事もなくとても素敵で楽しい時間でした。
途中大きな虹、モンクシールも見ることができました！
荷物を入れる所もあってよかったです。

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

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！

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。

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。

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。

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！

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！

We saw more people sea sick instead of whales. Only 2 turtles and a few dolphins were spotted. The boat ride was fine and they do offer you can go back again if you don’t see any whales.

We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the view of Diamond Head and the deep blue sea and sky from the ocean was stunning. Even if we hadn't encountered any whales, I would have been completely satisfied just with the cruise. Just when I was about to give up, the whales finally appeared! The sight of two of them slapping their tails on the water's surface was incredibly powerful. We were able to see them closer than I had imagined. They showed up again in another spot, and I was absolutely thrilled. The kids were also very excited!

いいお天気に恵まれて、沖から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや真っ青な海と空。
もしもクジラに出会えなくても、遊覧だけでも大満足、思っていたところ...
諦めかけた頃に、ついにクジラが現れました！
２頭並んで尻尾を海面に打ち付ける様子は迫力満点。想像していたよりも近くで見れました。
その後もまた別の場所でも現れて、
大大満足です。
子どもたちも大興奮でした！
