All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

At the time of the reservation, I couldn't predict the weather, and unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, so we couldn't see the sunset. However, everyone on the boat, including the staff and other guests, had a great time! When drinks ran out, the staff encouraged us to have more, so we could drink plenty. There are also restrooms on board, which is reassuring! The wind feels amazing! I would love to participate again when it's sunny!

予約の時点で天気の予想が出来ず、当日あいにく曇りでサンセットはみれませんでしたが、船の上でスタッフも他のお客さんもみんなで盛り上がりました！飲み物が無くなったらスタッフが進めてくれて沢山飲めます。トイレもついてるので安心です！風が凄く気持ちいいです！晴れてる時にまた参加したいなぁと思います！

I wanted my 2-year-old to experience sailing, so we participated! There were two other families with small children, and about 40% of the participants were Japanese.

I had expected mostly young foreigners based on the reviews, but surprisingly, there were quite a few older participants as well (laughs), and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. However, when the waves splashed, everyone got excited and started squealing, and as the drinks kicked in, we gradually began dancing to the music, enjoying the lively vibe of a different culture!

The captain and crew didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly and cheerful, which made for a pleasant experience.

While some reviews mention negative experiences, I think those who enjoy drinking and having a good time will really enjoy this. We've participated in various activities during our trip to Hawaii, but my husband, who doesn't speak English, said this cruise was the most fun. The rocking of the boat is quite intense, making it perfect for those who love roller coasters! Conversely, if you're looking to enjoy a more serene sunset, you might want to choose a different cruise.

2歳児にセーリングを体験させたくて参加しました！他にも小さなお子様連れが2組いて、日本人参加者は全体の4割程度でした。

口コミを見て外国人は若者ばかりを覚悟していましたが、案外若くもなく（笑）落ち着いた感じでした。でも波しぶきがかかるとキャーキャー言って盛り上がり、酔いがまわると次第に音楽に合わせて踊り始め異国のノリを楽しめました♪
キャプテンやクルーは日本語を話せませんが、フランクな陽気な方でとても感じが良かったです。

口コミでたまに嫌な思いをされる方がいるようですが、お酒が好きで、ワイワイするのが好きな方でしたら楽しめると思います。このハワイ旅行で色々と参加しましたが、英語が話せない主人でもこのクルーズが一番楽しかったと言っています。揺れが激しいので、ジェットコースター好きな方にもピッタリです！
逆に、しっとりとサンセットを楽しみたい方は別のクルーズにされた方がいいかもしれません。

I was moved when I rode it for the first time last year! I've decided to make it a regular tour starting this year! Enjoying a delicious Mai Tai against the backdrop of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head♡ This is pure bliss. Sometimes getting splashed by the waves, and after the excitement of the activities, slowing down to fully enjoy the sunset. I'll ride it again next year!

昨年初めて乗って感動！今年から定番ツアーに決定！ワイキキのホテル群とダイヤモンドヘッドを背景に美味しいマイタイを飲む♡
これぞ至福の時間。時に波をかぶったり、アクティビティの様なワクワクの後、スピードを落としてサンセットを存分に楽しむ。また来年も乗ります！

I booked the evening cruise on the fourth day. Be careful, as it looks nothing like the catalog images. As soon as we got out to Diamond Head, the waves of the open sea caused a lot of up-and-down motion... Personally, it was the best activity, but I definitely do not recommend it for those who get motion sickness.

4日目の夕方乗船で予約。カタログ画像と全く違うので要注意。ダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで出たとたん、外洋の波でアップダウンの激しい揺れが・・・。個人的には最高のアクティビティーでしたが、乗り物酔いする方には絶対にお勧めしません。

I enjoyed the sunset at Diamond Head while sipping a Mai Tai with a cheerful captain!

It's my favorite memory from Waikiki.

陽気なキャプテンとマイタイを楽しみながら、サンセットのダイヤモンドヘッドを満喫しました！

ワイキキでの一番の思い出です。

It was a small Mai Tai catamaran, but it sped along gracefully, with the cheers of passengers splashing in the waves. Tourists from Japan were able to exchange photos with foreign tour guests and share a fun time together. The sight of Diamond Head glowing in the sunset was also impressive, and I definitely want to board again next time.

小型のマイタイ・カタマラン号でしたが軽快に疾走し、波しぶきを浴びた乗客達の歓声が船中に。
日本からの観光客も、外国人ツアー客とも写真交換させてもらい楽しい時間を共有できました。
夕日に浮かぶダイアモンドヘッドも印象的で、次回も是非、乗船したいと思う。

You can enjoy beautiful views of Diamond Head and feel the breeze of Hawaii, which is very enjoyable. This time it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I would love to visit again.

ダイアモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたりと景色が堪能でき
ハワイの風を感じられたりととても楽しいです。
今回は曇ってて日の入りが見られませんでしたが、またリピートしたいと思います。

We had a great time. It was definitely a perfect opportunity to get away from it all. With that said it’s worth the cost! The dock was easy to find. They are the first booth as you enter the lot. Check in was easy at 1700 and sailed promptly at 530 pm. It was nice to unwind with a friendly crowd from all walks of life while “chasing” the sunset. The crew were super chill and attentive. The food was okay. That night they had tofu rolls, egg rolls, white rice, glazed chicken, and ginger beef with veggies buffet style/self serve. Then had chocolate chip cookie after served by crew member. The bar was rolling so I take it everyone was enjoying their drinks. The package came with one drink, it can be used towards juice or soft drink or with spirits. The part I enjoyed the most was having the moment to sit back, relaxing and enjoying the “waves”. But for the most part, I did enjoy socializing with other people on the cruise. That night was filled only with good vibes. We did the cruise on mid part of our stay here in Oahu and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We were busy running around “chasing” for the best of the best and the 2+ hr sail finally gave me the chance to “breathe” if you will. We had plenty’s of time to take pictures and a crew member was more than happy to assist as well. He gave us the heads up as far as what to expect and he was right on. No surprises on board! Just how I like it! You can sit in the enclosed area which I do not recommend if you get sea sick or you can stay standing, do your Kate and Leo’s pose, sit and relax by the nets. Ladies it does get windy so unless you also want to be Marilyn Monroe, wear shorts or pants! There’s a parking lot directly by the dock for $1/hr. It was a smooth sail (take it from me..I am one to guaranteed to get nauseous just from standing on the beach). There were no children on board. I didn’t travel with my children this time so I am not sure if that is stated on the description site..

First, we waited for the pickup, then we waited to go, and even after we arrived, we waited... It was so difficult to find something to eat that we could enjoy, as there were very few options. Since there were Japanese staff members, I had no worries about the language. The scenery and fireworks were beautiful. The return trip was also quite long...

まず、ピックアップからまち、行くまでも待ち、ついてからも待ち・・・
ご飯も食べれるものを探すのに苦労するくらい食べれるものが少ない。日本人スタッフがいるから言葉の心配はゼロ。景色、花火はきれいにみれた。帰りもまぁ、長かった・・・

We had the most incredible evening - these women are kickass and we couldn't have imagined a better crew!! The drinks were great, the sunset unbelievable and the boat was VERY clean - even the bathrooms were nice and clean. We would definitely do this again when back in Hawaii!

Highly recommend a Hawaiian Mimosa by the way!! Well worth the money for an evening on the water - big enough that it's spacious too. Thank you girls for such a memorable evening!! <3

I apologize for the late post, but I used the service in April. Since our arrival date was on a Friday, I signed up for my friend’s first trip to Hawaii to see the Hilton fireworks! My friend, who was worried about motion sickness, was very happy to enjoy the fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze (a jacket is a must!). I usually watch from the beach, but seeing the fireworks from the water was exceptional. I would like to sign up again next time!

投稿が遅くなりましたが、4月に利用しました。到着日が金曜日だったので、ヒルトンの花火が観られる！とハワイ初の友達のために申し込みました。乗り物酔いが心配だった友達も、心地よい風を受けながらの花火鑑賞にとても喜んでくれました（上着は必須です！）。私もいつもはビーチからの鑑賞でしたが、海の上から見る花火は格別なものでした。次回も申し込みたいと思います！

I was very lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins! The tour guide was also very enthusiastic and made the experience enjoyable. I was truly happy in that wonderful atmosphere. Thank you very much! 😊

イルカの群れにも出逢えて
とてもラッキーでした！
添乗員さんもノリノリで楽しませて頂き
本当に幸せな空間で嬉しかったです。
ありがとございました(^^)

I showed my voucher at the booth as instructed, but was told it was the wrong place and that I needed to go to the Sheraton. When I went to the Sheraton, there was no reception area. When I returned, I saw the same person from earlier with the boat in the photo, so I asked again and was told to wait there. However, while I was left waiting, more and more people boarded the boat, and as they were about to close it, I asked again and was told to hurry up. During the tour, everything was lively in English, but the only time I heard Japanese was when they asked for tips at the end. It was the worst experience.

指示どうりのブースでバウチャー見せたのに、ここではない シェラトンの方だと、シェラトンの方に行きましたが受付らしきものはなく、また、戻って見ると先程の人と写真の船があったので、もう一度聞くと、その場で待つように言われたが、どんどん他の人間が乗船する中ほったらかし、締め切ろうとするので、もう一度聞くと早く乗れと ツアー中もすべて英語で盛り上がって、唯一下船時に『チップ下さい』の日本語 最悪〜

We participated as a couple, and it was really fun. This might be the best tour we've been on so far. The captain was lively and made it enjoyable, and there were young people from abroad, so we were able to take photos together, creating great memories.

夫婦で参加しました、とても楽しかったです
今まで行ったツアーで一番かな。キャプテンもノリノリで楽しかったです、外国の若者もいて一緒に写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。

Last year, I participated with my daughter and had so much fun that this time I joined with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. I signed her up as a surprise gift since she is a bit scared, but the fun was so overwhelming that she seemed to forget her fear and was really happy, asking to go to the front of the boat to take pictures. There were not many Japanese people, but the foreigners were lively, dancing and singing, which made it incredibly enjoyable. When we got off the boat, a wave came and soaked us up to our bottoms (^▽^;). I think it's better to have a towel. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

昨年、娘と参加してとても楽しかったので今回はハワイ初の友人と参加させていただきました。少し怖がりの友人へサプライズプレゼントで申し込みしたのですが、あまりの楽しさに怖さもどこかへ行ってしまったのか自分から船の先頭へ行って写真撮って～と凄く喜んでいました。日本人は少ないですが、外人さん達がノリノリで踊ったり、歌ったりですっごく楽しかったです。
船から降りる時に波がきてお尻まで濡れてしまいました(^▽^;)タオルはあった方が良いと思います。またハワイへ行った際は是非参加したいです。

I stayed in Hawaii for a wedding this time. I booked this sunset cruise as an optional tour that my parents and relatives could enjoy together! As expected, everyone from my elderly parents to my cousins in their 20s had a great time. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the cheerful crew created a fun atmosphere, making the cruising experience fly by. The last time I came to Hawaii, I participated in the daytime cruise, but I personally recommend the sunset cruise because it’s not too hot, and the sea breeze feels nice! If you go to Hawaii, definitely consider joining this. It should be enjoyable for people of all ages and genders.

今回ウェディングのためにハワイに滞在しました。両親、親戚も一緒に楽しめるオプショナルツアーとしてこちらのサンセットクルーズを予約しました！期待通り高齢の両親から20代のいとこまで全員楽しむ事が出来ました。ドリンクは飲み放題で明るいクルー達が盛り上げてくれ楽しい雰囲気であっという間のクルージングです。前回ハワイに来たときは日中の本クルーズに参加しましたがサンセットクルーズのほうが暑すぎず海風が気持ち良くて個人的におすすめです！！ハワイに行かれる際は是非ご参加してみてください。年齢、性別問わずお楽しみいただけるはずです。

It was my first time going on a dinner cruise and it was everything i hoped it would be. The weather was nice and the view was beautiful. I was with my family that came to visit and they enjoyed it too. The food and customer service was good. I would bring back my family and friends here again.

I particularly enjoyed the unique views of Waikiki that we got on the catamaran. The breeze was nice and the beautiful sunset made it all the more special. I would love to do this again!

The dinner cruise was fun and a very enjoyable one. Our relatives from Philippines whom we treated with the cruise were really surprised and they’re so grateful. It was perfect and worthy experience for all of us.

My tour of the Big Island was canceled at the last minute due to the volcanic eruption, so since I was already in Hawaii, I quickly booked a sunset cruise. Thanks to arriving early, I was able to get a nice window seat and was among the first in line for the buffet, which made me happy. The experience wasn't perfect because there was a Chinese family whose kids were climbing on the sofa with their shoes on, throwing cushions, and running around, making a lot of noise. It really ruined the atmosphere.

ハワイ島観光が噴火の影響で直前キャンセルになり、すでにハワイにいたので急遽サンセットクルーズを申し込みました。
早めに現地に着いたおかげで窓側のいい席をとれてブッフェも最初に並ぶことができて満足です。
満点にならなかったのは中国のファミリーがいて子供達が土足でソファにあがったり、クッション投げをしたり、バタバタ走り回っていてうるさかったです。せっかくのムードが台無し。

I was worried about seasickness, so I participated without alcohol. There were many people besides Japanese, and the atmosphere on the boat was lively. We were blessed with good weather, and it was a wonderful sunset time. I would like to join this tour again when I go to Hawaii.

船酔いが心配だったので、ノンアルコールで参加しました。
日本人以外もたくさんいて、船上はにぎやかでした。
お天気にも恵まれ、素敵なサンセットタイムでした。
またハワイに行った際は、参加したいツアーです。

A family of 11, including adults and infants, participated. They enjoyed a fun time while eating at the buffet, and eventually, as sunset approached, everyone was satisfied.

大人、乳幼児11人のファミリー参加しました。
ビュッフェを食べながら楽しく過ごし、やがてサンセットの時間になりみんな満足していました。

Easily booked.
Rather difficult to find the place to check in.
Excellent captain and hostess.
Could go a bit further in the ocean instead of making a couple of rounds near the shore.

I have been on a catamaran before and have participated in sunset cruises, but this time was the best.

Above all, the hospitality of the captain and the bartender was outstanding!

And not only did we see the sunset, but we also got to see dolphins!

I have seen whales before, but they were a bit far away, so that was a little disappointing. However, this time, as the captain said, we saw them up close.

And the casual interactions with the friendly mainland people on board.

I was reminded once again how important it is for each person to connect!

カタマランには以前にも乗ったことがあるし、サンセットクルーズにも参加したことがあるし、、、と思いながら参加したのですが、今回のは最高でした。

何より船長とバーテンダーのホスピタリティが最高！

そして、サンセットだけでなく、なんとイルカも見ることができました！

クジラは見たことがあるのですが、やや遠かったので少し残念でした。しかし今回は、船長の言った通り、すごく間近で見るました。

そして船上でのフランクなメインランドの人達とのささいな関わり。

人間、ひとりひとりが関わることが大事なんだと改めて実感しました！

At the meeting point, there are similar boats, so it's essential to confirm the logo of the black-hulled "Mai Tai." At first, I mistakenly went to the reception of a different boat in front. When the start time arrived, there was an energetic explanation, and we boarded with that same excitement. Soon after, Mai Tais were served, but you really have to go and get them yourself. There were many young Americans, and the atmosphere felt just like a party. We went out much further than I expected, and Diamond Head was beautiful. You can enjoy it for a full two hours.

集合場所に、似たような船があるので
黒い船体の「マイタイ」というロゴの確認必須。
最初、手前の違う船の受付へ行ってしまいました。
開始時間になると、ノリノリの説明があり
そのテンションのまま、乗船。
すぐに、マイタイがふるまわれますが、
自分から、グイグイ取りに行かないとだめです。
若いアメリカ人多し、まさにパーティ会場のようなテンションで
突っ走ります。
思っていたより、かなり沖まで行ってくれて
ダイアモンドヘッドがきれいでした。
二時間たっぷり、楽しめます。

An American group with a wedding reception vibe, just so cheerful! Unlimited Mai Tais, 4 to 5 cups! I was surprised by the dolphins jumping.

結婚式二次会風のアメリカ人グループ、とにかく陽気❗️ マイタイ飲み放題を4～5杯‼️ イルカのジャンプにはびっくりしました。

we absolutely loved our trip on the Mana Kai Catamaran! Our captain was named Brewski and he made sure that we all had a great time and everybody was safe. Beautiful views, fun vibe, and good people.

Buy a handle of rum and mix it with some fresh Hawaiian juices, mix it up in a huge jug and bring it aboard for everybody to share! you will make friends quick! everyone is on vacation so its a great vibe

It was an exciting and enjoyable evening. I had to make a reservation early for the evening, as last year it was fully booked and I couldn't get in. This time, I made a reservation from Japan and went on my second choice date. Since most of the guests were Japanese, I felt a bit more at ease.

迫力があり楽しい夕時でした。
夕方の予約は早い目にしないといけないので去年は予約いっぱいでダメだったので今回は日本で予約して第二希望日で乗りました。日本の方がほとんどだったので少し安心でした。

This was my third time on the Sunset Sailing Mai Tai Catamaran, and for the first time, I saw other Japanese participants besides ourselves.

Still, the view of Diamond Head from the sea, the refreshing scenery and breeze, and the setting sun were amazing. I think when I go to Hawaii again, I will rely on the Sunset Sailing for my fourth time.

今回で３回目の【サンセットセーリング　マイタイ・カタマラン号】でしたが、初めて自分達以外の日本人が参加しているのを見ました。

それでも海側から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、爽やかな景色と風、沈んでいく夕日は最高で、またハワイに行った時には４回目のサンセットセーリングにお世話になると思います。

The wind was strong and the waves were high, but it was a pleasant sailing experience while enjoying a Mai Tai. Last time, dolphins swam alongside us, so I was hoping for the same this time, but unfortunately, they didn't show up! I would love to participate again.

風が強く波も高かったけど、マイタイを頂きながら気持ちいいセーリングでした。前回はイルカが併走したので今回も期待してたのですが、今回は現れてくれず残念！ また参加したいです。
