All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

I have visited Hawaii many times, but it has been a while since I went out to sea on a boat. My wife, who easily gets seasick, suggested trying a catamaran cruise. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky and strong winds, we couldn't see the sunset, but we enjoyed a pleasant time in the sea breeze. Next time, I would like to go on a calm, sunny day.

これまで何度となく訪れたハワイですが、海に船で出るのは久しぶり。船酔いしやすい妻が乗ってみたいと言い出したカタマラン・クルーズ。
曇り空かつ風の強い日だったため、サンセットは残念ながら見ることはできなかったが、潮風の中を心地よい時間を過ごせた。
今度は晴れた穏やかな日に乗船してみたいと思う。

I was relieved to find out that it was okay as long as I arrived by the boarding time when I called because I was running late for check-in. It was a day with very strong winds and quite high waves, and almost everyone got pretty wet when boarding the boat from the shore. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the sunset, but it was a great experience to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. I would like to try again next time.

チェックイン時間に遅刻しそうになりTelすると、乗船時間までに来てくれればOKとのことで助かりました。風が非常に強い日で波がかなり高く、波打ち際から船に乗り込む際にほとんど全員がかなり濡れました。
サンセットは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、海から見るワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドはいい経験になりました。
次回リベンジしたいと思います。

The sunset was obstructed by clouds as it sank into the sea, but this cruise was very pleasant, and believe it or not, it's my fourth time. When you come to Hawaii, you have to take this cruise to really get started!

サンセットは海に沈むには雲が邪魔しちゃいましたが、とってもこのクルーズは気持ちがよくなんだかんだと4回目です。ハワイに来たらこれに乗らないと始まらないね！

It was boring because everything was in English and I couldn't understand what was being said. It felt like a waste of money since it was only foreigners who were excited. The snacks were also not great.

英語ばかりで英語がわからないと何を言っているのかわからずつまらなかった。外国人だけで盛り上がり高いお金を出したのにもったいなかったです。軽食ももイマイチでした。

During the night tour, we could watch the fireworks. I recommend bringing a jacket or windbreaker to protect against the cold wind.

This is my second time participating. This time, I tried it during sunset. Unfortunately, due to the weather, I wasn't able to see the sunset, but no matter what time you participate, it's an activity where you can feel the breeze of Waikiki. I'm sure I want to ride again.

二度目の参加です
今回はサンセットの時間帯にしてみました
あいにくの天気で夕日にはお目にかかることが出来ませんでしたが
ただ、どの時間帯に参加してもワイキキの風を感じられるアクティビティです
きっとまた乗りたいと思います

This is my second time participating. Last time, after checking in, I wasn't informed of anything and just waited for over 40 minutes. However, this time, perhaps due to improvements in the system, I was informed of the meeting time 50 minutes later at check-in, which allowed me to return to the hotel for a bit. Unfortunately, the cruise was marred by cloudy weather, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset.

2度目の参加です。前回は受け付けをしてから何も伝えてもらえず、ただただ40分以上待たされましたが、今回は、システムが改善されたのか、受け付け時に50分後の集合時間を伝えてもらえてた事で、一度ホテルに帰る事が出来ました。肝心のクルーズは、生憎の曇天だったためサンセットを見られず残念でした。

It was a wonderful activity. The sunset while swaying on the waves was the best time. The Mai Tai was great too. Interacting with the people I rode with made it even more enjoyable.

とても素晴らしいACTIVITY
波に揺られてサンセットが見れて最高の時間(^ ^)でした。マイタイ がまた合う(^ ^)
一緒に乗った人達との交流がまた楽しさを倍増させてくれた。

The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was grand and truly magical. When the boat headed out to sea, we had to overcome large waves, which felt like being on a roller coaster... I couldn't help but scream. Once we were out at sea, the rocking settled down, and I enjoyed the cruise while sipping on a drink. The captain and crew were friendly and made the experience fun. Additionally, there were fewer Japanese people, so it really felt like I was "overseas," and I was able to bond with people from various countries on board. Even if we didn't speak the same language, it's convenient now with smartphone translation apps. Departing from Waikiki Beach, this activity offers about two hours of enjoyment. This is a must-do when you come to Hawaii!

海の上から眺めるハワイの夕日は、スケールが大きくとても幻想的でした。
船が沖に乗り出す時、大きな波を乗り越えるので、まるでジェットコースターに乗ったかのような感覚に…。思わず叫んでしまいました。
一旦沖に出てしまうと揺れは収まり、ゆっくりとドリンクを飲みながらクルーズを楽しめました。
キャプテンやクルーもフレンドリーで楽しく盛り上げてくれます。また、日本の方が少ないので「海外に来たーーー」という気分が味わえ、同乗した色々な国の方とも親しくなれます。言葉が通じなくても今は、スマホの翻訳アプリもあるので便利ですよね。
ワイキキビーチから出発、約2時間たっぷり楽しめるアクティビティですね。
これはもうハワイに来たらマストです！

We really enjoyed the Makani Dinner Sail. Booking was easy through the website and the pick-up instructions were clear. When we arrived at the Illikai at the appointed time, the shuttle driver greeted us by name and we were off!

On board, the crew was super-friendly and low-key, not uptight or scoldy at all, which is always nice when you're out on an adult dinner cruise. And I was really happy that once we got out into open water, the captain shut off the engines and proceeded under sail. Much nicer ambiance without the diesels droning. Drinks were perfectly fine. My only critique would be food quality. The buffet they rolled out was perfectly fine for a boomer reunion picnic but as a picky millennial, I would happily pay a little extra per ticket for a level-up on the dinner spread. Maybe audition a few new caterers? Just didn't think it was at the same standard as everything else. Overall though, a really lovely break from Waikiki!

I participated in the evening on the day of arrival. I was wondering how the sunset would be since there were clouds, but it was visible at times through the clouds, and I was moved. There were only one or two other Japanese people besides us. Music was playing, and the foreigners were really into it. There were free drinks, including beer, Mai Tai, and soft drinks, for two hours. I also purchased a photo taken before boarding as a memory. I highly recommend it.

到着日の夕方に参加しました。
雲が出ていたので夕日はどうかなと思いましたが、時々雲の間から見えて
感動しました。
日本人は私たちともう1組くらいしかいませんでした。
音楽がかかっていて、外国人はノリノリ。
2時間の間ビールやマイタイ、ソフトドリンクのフリードリンク付きです。
乗る前に撮っていただいた写真も思い出に購入しました。
おすすめです。

It felt really good!
It was a tour with few Japanese people.
I’m not good at English, and while they explained things in a fun way with jokes, I just couldn’t understand!

とても気持ちよかったー！
日本人が少ないツアーだった。
英語が苦手で、、、ジョークを交えながら楽しく説明してくれていたが、どうも分からなかった！

Everyone was friend and outgoing! Great staff!!! (:

The fireworks were very beautiful and moving.

However, it was very disappointing that the people at the front were drunk, throwing their drinks into the sea and vomiting in the water.

花火がとても綺麗で感動しました。


でも先頭に乗ってた方々が酔っ払って、
お酒を海に捨てたり、海に吐いたりしていて
とても残念でした。。

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.

残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

I joined the tour on the recommendation of a local friend, and the crew was really fun, making it enjoyable even for those who don't understand much English! The weather was great, and it was truly the best! I would love to join again if I have the chance! It can be a bit windy and chilly on the boat, so I think it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

現地の友達に勧められて参加したツアーでしたが、船員さんも凄くノリが良く英語があまり分からなくても楽しめました！天気も良くて本当に最高でした！！また機会があれば参加したいと思いました！船の上は少し風も強く肌寒いので、薄手のジャンパーぐらいは持って行った方がいいと思います。

It was a sunset tour, but we couldn't see the sunset at all, so it was just a tour to enjoy drinks, which was a bit disappointing... The people who were lively and entertaining were truly wonderful.

サンセットツアーなのに夕日が全く見えなくて、お酒を飲んで楽しむだけのツアーで、少しガッカリしました。。。
盛り上げていた方は、本当に素敵な人達でした。

I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.

妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。

This will be a repeat visit.
The scenery, the wind, and the vibe are truly amazing.
It can get a bit chilly when you head out to sea, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.
I will use this service again.

リピートの利用になります。
風景も風もノリも本当に最高です。
沖に出るとちょっと寒いので上着を持って行くといいかも。
また利用します。

We participated as a mature couple. Our understanding of English is just enough to grasp what is being said, but we had an amazing time. The cheerful captain and the foreign participants really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a fun cruise. We were also deeply moved by the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the beauty of the sunset from the sea. We definitely want to participate again next time!

熟年夫婦で、参加しました。英語は、なんとなく言ってることが理解できる程度の私達ですが、最高に楽しめました。陽気なキャプテンや外国人の参加者が場を盛り上げてくれ楽しいクルーズとなりました。また、海から見るワイキキの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サンセットの美しさに大変感動しました。次回も絶対参加したい！

Great Crew, very good food, meet a lot of nice people. Enjoyed the beautiful sunset and fireworks!! Definitely a must do while in Waikiki. Was the best way to end our Hawaii holiday!!

Due to a sudden change for the inspection of the hull, I participated here. The weather was favorable, and I was able to see the best sunset view, but the food was still somewhat lacking. Since there were many participants and it was a buffet style, I had to wait in line for a long time to eat. The good weather and scenery were the greatest relief.

船体の点検の為、急遽変更し、こちらに参加しました。天気に恵まれ最高の夕日の景色を見ることができましたが、食事はやはりもうひとつと言った感じです。参加人数も多かった事もあり、ブュッフェスタイルなので長い時間並ばないと食べれず、天気と景色が良かったのが何よりの救いでした。

While enjoying a Mai Tai, we slowly went sailing. There were more foreign participants than Japanese, and the atmosphere and vibe were truly American. If the weather is favorable, it will be the best sunset cruise, but even with a bit of cloud cover, the colors of the sky gradually changed, which was quite moving. Since you board directly from the beach barefoot, it's best to wear clothes that can get wet, and depending on the weather, I think a light jacket is necessary.

マイタイを飲みながら、ゆっくりとセーリングしていきます。
日本人より外国人の参加が多く、雰囲気、乗りは、まさにアメリカンです。
天気に恵まれれば最高なサンセットクルーズとなりますが、少々曇っていても、空の色が徐々に変わっていって、なかなか感動ものでした。
浜辺から裸足で直接乗船するので、濡れてもよい恰好で、天気によっては寒いので羽織ものは必要かと思います。

This was my second time on a dinner cruise, but this ship didn't have any special stage performances, just a few band members and one Hawaiian dancer, which felt quite simple. There wasn't really a show to speak of, and there were no announcements for birthday or wedding celebrations, which made it a bit lonely. The cheerful atmosphere of Hawaii is very enjoyable, so it was a bit disappointing. The price wasn't too high, so maybe that's to be expected? Since we were a group of six, we had reserved seats, but some groups had to sit together at shared tables. It's also based on the order of boarding, so I recommend boarding early.

夕食付きクルージングは、2度目ですが、今回の船には、特段舞台もなく、数名のバンドと一人のハワイアンダンサーでさっぱりしたものでした。
ショーと言えるものはなく、お誕生日お祝い、結婚祝いなどの呼びかけもなく、ちょっと寂しかったかな。ハワイの陽気な雰囲気は、とても楽しいので、
残金でした。料金もそれ程なのでやむ得ないか？
6人で行ったので、予約席がありましたが、数名のグループは自由席で、相席状態でした。それも、乗船順なので、早めに乗船することを勧めます。

This time there were 49 people. It was my second time sailing.

I wondered if there was a toilet on this boat, but when I sat down, I found that the area near the toilet was quite spacious after opening the red lid and going down the stairs. People who had drunk too much kept going in and out.

This time we set sail at 7:30, and since the fireworks started at 7:45, everyone chatted and drank for the remaining hour, and it was once again a lot of fun.

今回も49名
2回目のセーリングでした。

この船にトイレ？と思いましたが、座ったところがトイレの近くで、赤の蓋を開けて、階段を降りると思ったより結構広いスペースがー
飲みすぎた人たちが入れ替わり立ち代り入って行きましたー

今回は7時30分出航で、7時45分から花火だったので、残り1時間はみんな喋って飲んでとまたまた楽しかったです。

I participated on the last day in Hawaii. As a result, I had a really fun time and made great memories! I highly recommend it! There were only a few Japanese people, which was nice since it was English-only. The staff were friendly and considerate, so I think those who are not confident in their English will have no worries. The people I boarded with were also very lively, and unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset very well, but the atmosphere and the breeze were pleasant, and I was satisfied. Be careful not to drink too many Mai Tais (laughs). I want to do it again!

Hawaii最終日に参加しました。
結果、本当に楽しい時間を過ごすことができ良い思い出になりました！オススメします！
英語対応オンリーで日本人は少なく、それが良かった！
スタッフも気さくで気遣ってくれるので英語が苦手な方でも心配ないと思います。
一緒に乗船した方々もノリノリで、残念ながら参加した日は曇っていてサンセットがあまり見えませんでしたが、とにかく雰囲気と風が気持ち良く満足。
マイタイ飲みすぎるので、そこは注意です（笑）
またリピートしたいです！

It was a cruising experience in the evening. To my surprise, alcohol was free, and we had such a great time! My friends and their spouses were also very satisfied. Both the crew and the guests were lively, and even though I didn't understand English, it was truly enjoyable. I would love to participate again next time.

夕方からのクルージングでした。
なんと、アルコールもフリーでこんな良い時間過ごさせていただいて！！
友達夫婦とも大満足でした。
クルーも客もみんな乗り乗りで、英語がわからなくても本当に楽しかったです。
次回もまた参加したいですね。

I had a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, but due to hull repairs, I was forced to cancel and quickly switched to the Majestic. However, even though it was just two docks away, I had quite a bit of trouble finding the boarding area. Because of that, I thought it might not compare well to the original cruise, but I believe the cost performance was actually better here. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, and I thought I might miss the fireworks too, but I was able to see them clearly, and they were not disappointing at all; I enjoyed them quite a bit. I thought the cocktail and light snacks were decent as well. More importantly, since I had planned to go directly to the boarding area, the outbound trip from the Kahala area would have been wasted, but thanks to VELTRA's negotiation, I was able to get a refund for one-way fare, which I was very grateful for. Because of that, my first ride back in a limousine was a fantastic experience.

スターオブホノルルを予約していたが船体補修とかでキャンセルを強いられ、急遽マジェスティックに切り換えた。処が、ふたつ先の桟橋なのに乗船場が分からず見つけるのにかなり苦労する。そんな事もあり当初のクルーズと比べてイマイチかなと思って乗船したが、コストパフォーマンスはこちらの方がよかったのではと思う。生憎曇っていてサンセットは見られず、花火もダメかなと思っていたらこれはしっかり見られて、その内容もそれ程ショボイものではなく、それなりに楽しめた。カクテル一杯と軽食もまあまあだったと思う。それより直接乗船場に行く事にしていた為、カハラ地区からの往路は無駄になるところだったのに、ベルトラさんのネゴで片道分をバックして貰えたのは大変有り難かった。お陰で、初めてのリムジンでの帰りは非常に気分が盛り上がったものであった。

Overall, the sunset cocktail cruise was excellent. The service staff was very attentive and would frequently go around the catamaran, refilling drinks and asking if you needed anything. The cruise itself did not take you very far from the pier, and stayed off the Waikiki coast, but still had an excellent view of diamond head and sunset. The appetizers were good, though not very substantial, consisting of chips, salsa, guacamole, salad, pasta salad, veggies, and rolls. Wouldn’t expect to get full from the food. The drinks were great, and basically free-flowing. Overall an excellent cocktail cruise

Due to a sudden change in the hull inspection, we used this option. Since it was our wedding anniversary, I was worried about how it would turn out, but this was also very lovely. The view was great as well.

船体検査で急遽変更し、こちらを利用させていただきました。結婚記念日でしたのでどうなることかと思いましたが、こちらもとても素敵でした。景色もよく見えました。
