All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

I participated because I wanted to see the sunset over the ocean. There were just over 10 groups of participants, and among them, there were 3 groups of Japanese, including us. The atmosphere was filled with wonderful music, delicious cocktails (there were soft drinks available too), and beautiful scenery. We even got to see a whale, and everyone got excited with a big "fuuu~!"

Since it was a yacht and a windy day, I was very worried about getting seasick (I tend to get seasick easily...), but thanks to taking motion sickness medication before the trip and trying to look far away, I was able to enjoy the cruise without feeling sick at all!

There were no particular issues during the cruise, but I think it would be even more reassuring if there was a guide who could speak Japanese. Also, since you get hit directly by the sea breeze, I recommend bringing long sleeves.

I would love to participate again!

サンセットを海の上で見てみたくて参加しました♪
参加者は10組ちょっとといったところでしょうか。そのうち日本人は私たちも含め3組。素敵な音楽と美味しいカクテル(ソフトドリンクもありました)、そして美しい景色とムード満点でした。なんとクジラも見る事ができ、全員でfuuu〜♪と盛り上がりました！
ヨットだったのと風が強い日だったので、船酔いしないか非常に心配でしたが(当方比較的酔いやすいです…^^;)、参加前に酔い止めを飲み、なるべく遠くを見るようにしていたお陰か全く酔わずにクルーズを楽しむことができました♪
今回のクルーズ中は特に問題ありませんでしたが、日本語の分かるガイドさんが乗られてるともっと心強いかなと思います。あとは海風にダイレクトにあたるので、長袖は持って行くことをオススメします。
また参加したいです！

There were over 30 members from diverse international backgrounds on board. We had a great time with people from Europe, mainland America, and Asia, enjoying drinks together. The most popular order was the Monster (a cocktail made with the energy drink Monster).

Since it was February, it was quite chilly, and getting wet through the net made me shiver. But that was part of the fun (laughs).

I originally joined on the recommendation of a colleague, and I was very satisfied, just as I had heard. I would love to participate again.

国際色ゆたかなメンバーで、30人以上は乗船していたと思います。ヨーロッパ、アメリカ本土、アジア、お酒の力も借りてワイワイ。オーダー率が高かったのは、モンスター。(エナジードリンクのモンスターを使ったカクテル)
2月ということもあり、結構肌寒く、ネット越しに濡れるとガクブルでした。でもそれが楽しい(笑)

元々参加したのも、同僚のすすめだったのですが
前評判通り大満足。また参加したいです。

Great time and good drinks!!!! Great crew and a good crowd was on broad

Unfortunately, we were not blessed with good weather and couldn't see the sunset, but we encountered a whale. They chased after the whale, and we quickly switched to whale watching. Thanks to their quick thinking, even though we couldn't see the sunset, it wasn't a wasted experience, and everyone was satisfied.

残念ながら天候に恵まれなくサンセットは見れませんでしたが
なんと、クジラに遭遇。
鯨を追いかけてくれて急遽ホエールウォッチングに変更になりました。
機転をきかせてくれたのでサンセットが見れなくても無駄にはならず
利用者みんな満足してました。

In 2015, it was just the two of us with three aunts who love alcohol. The night view of Waikiki and the fireworks created a different kind of excitement, and we enjoyed a fun time with drinks flowing.

2015年は友人と二人でしたが、お酒大好きのおばさん３人。ワイキキの夜景に花火前回とは違う盛り上がりでお酒もすすみ楽しいひと時でした。

For my husband and me, staying at the Sheraton Waikiki felt like setting sail from a private beach. The weather was clear and the waves were calm. Coincidentally, an American couple who had just finished their wedding, along with their guests, boarded the boat, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Enjoying various unlimited alcoholic drinks while watching the sunset was absolutely fantastic!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊した私達夫婦にとってはプライベートビーチからの船出のような気分。天気晴朗にして波も穏やか。たまたま結婚式を終えたばかりの米カップルと参列者も乗り込み、幸せ気分も乗せて出航。飲み放題のアルコール各種試飲しながらの夕陽はサイコ―でした！

I chose this because I was staying at Outrigger Reef.
The boarding point is from the beach of Outrigger Reef.
Everyone except us was a foreigner, making for a very exotic sailing experience.
Soft drinks, Mai Tais, and Budweiser are all-you-can-drink, so people of all ages can enjoy it.
You will get quite wet, so a cover-up that can get wet is necessary.
It gets chilly once the sun sets.

アウトリガーリーフに宿泊していたこともあり選びました。
乗り場は、アウトリガーリーフのビーチからです。
自分たち以外は外国人で、異国感満載のセーリングになりました。
ソフトドリンクやマイタイやバドワイザーなども飲み放題なので、老若男女楽しめます。
かなり濡れますので、水着に濡れてもいい上着が必要です。
日が沈めば、はださむくなります。

I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The only downside was that no one spoke Japanese, but that didn't matter because I had a wonderful time with stunning views. It felt great, and since it was sunny, I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I was lucky to also see a rainbow on the mountain side. I definitely want to join again on my next trip to Hawaii!

ハワイ到着日に参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じないのが難点でしたが…
そんなことは気にならないくらい素晴らしい景色、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく気持ちが良くて、晴れていたのでサンセットもきれいに見れました。
山側に虹も見れてラッキーでした。
次回のハワイ旅行でもまた参加したいと思います！

I attended with a female friend. The fireworks looked different from the venue, and it was great. There was a foreign couple being affectionate the whole time, and I thought I’d like to go with a partner next time. Haha.

女友達と参加しました。花火も会場から見るものはまた違って見えてよかったです。外国人のカップルが終始イチャイチャしてて次はカップルで行きたいって思いました。笑

My wife and I enjoyed this very much, Great way to help celebrate our 30th anniversary. A fun and knowledgable crew took very good care of us. Fantastic catamaran

I had a wonderful time cruising while enjoying free drinks, including champagne. We even spotted whales nearby, and the sunset was perfect.

とても気持ちよくフリードリンクでシャンパンも楽しみながらクルーズできました。
途中クジラも近くに見られてサンセットもバッチリでした

I was attracted to the point where I could enjoy both drinks and a sunset cruise, so I signed up. While on board, I could enjoy the scenery without getting wet and felt a pleasant breeze. There’s nothing to obstruct the view, so the sunlight is dazzling until the sun sets, making sunglasses a must. This was my fourth time in Hawaii, but seeing the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea offered a different perspective, which was wonderful. The duration was as planned, and I was able to stick to my schedule after the cruise without any issues.

お酒とサンセットクルーズ同時に楽しめるポイントに惹かれて申込みしました。
乗船中は濡れることもなく、気持ちの良い風を浴びながら景色を堪能できます。
遮るものがないので夕日が落ちる前までは日差しが眩しいので、サングラス必須です。
4度目のハワイでしたが海から見るワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは一味違う景色で、とても良かったです。
所要時間も予定通りで乗船後の予定も狂うことなく過ごすことが出来ました。

Enjoyed our evening on the catamaran. Food was awesome, bar, music and an amazing view of Honolulu!!!

The guys were really friendly and sincerely wanted everyone to have a good time. We got pretty drunk off that uh oh juice and the sunset was beautiful.

I participated to create a final memory of my trip. I was very satisfied to be able to enjoy a beautiful starry sky and fireworks while drinking a Mai Tai. It's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you will get wet up to your shins when boarding. I participated in January, and the weather was great, with just the right temperature to enjoy. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

旅行の最後の思い出にと参加しました。
マイタイを飲みながらきれいな星空と花火を見ることができとても満足できました。
乗り込みの際にひざ下ぐらいまで濡れるので濡れてもいい格好で参加したほうがいいです。
１月の参加でしたが、とてもいい天気で気温もちょうどよくて楽しめました。
機会があればまた参加したいです。

I participated with my daughter, and there were only two Japanese people. It felt great to feel the wind more than on a big ship. There was also a couple dancing energetically, making it a really fun time.

娘と参加で、日本人は二人ボッチでした。(^-^;
大きな船より風を感じられて気持ち良かったです。
ノリノリで踊っているご夫婦もいて凄く楽しい時間でした。

I read in the reviews that there are few Japanese people and the explanations are in English, but it was a completely problem-free relaxing time. I go to Hawaii about twice a year, so I signed up for various optional tours, but this tour is one I can't miss next time. Since it was late January, it was indeed cold due to the strong winds. A light jacket is necessary.

口コミでは日本人は少ないし説明も英語なので・・とありましたが、全く問題なしのリラックスタイムでした。ハワイは年に2回ほど行きますので色々なオプショナルツアーに申し込みましたがこちらのツアーは次回も外せないです。１月下旬だったので、風が強いこともあり確かに寒かったです。羽織るものは必要ですね。

I was considering a dinner cruise, but after referring to other people's experiences, I chose the cocktail cruise. I was a bit anxious about whether I would enjoy it, but it turned out to be a great decision. The sunset from the coast is beautiful, but watching the sunset from the cruiser while feeling the thrill of the ride was exceptionally stunning. Thanks to the cheerful and high-energy crew and the other foreign guests, the atmosphere was great, and I had a wonderful time.

ディナークルーズにしようかと思ってましたが、他の方の体験談を参照し、カクテルクルーズを選択しました。
楽しめるか少し不安でしたが、結果は大正解でした。海岸からのサンセットも綺麗ですが、クルーザーの疾走感とともに海の上から観るサンセットはまた格別に綺麗でした。陽気でハイテンションなクルーや他の外国人客のおかげて、雰囲気も良く楽しい時間を過ごせました。

Great sunset sail. Music was awesome and views were even more amazing. Captain and bartender were also equally amazing which made out sail even more enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and do this again on my next trip. Worth every penny.

The itinerary includes departing, cruising towards Diamond Head for a while, turning back, waiting in front of the Hilton, and then the fireworks start. The fireworks last about 10 minutes. The sequence is as follows: beach docking. They say that "Mai Tai" is easy to make, and they keep saying "Mai Tai, Mai Tai!" The only soft drink available is canned pineapple. By the way, we were the only Japanese people there. None of the crew spoke Japanese. It might be fun for those who understand English.

内容としては出航→ダイヤモンドヘッド方面へしばらくクルーズ→折り返し→ヒルトン前で待機→花火開始　花火は１０分程度で終わり→船着きビーチの順です。飲み物は「マイタイ」が簡単に作れるらしく「マイタイ、マイタイ！」と言ってきます。ソフトドリンクは缶のパイナップルのみ。ちなみに日本人は私達だけでした。クルーも日本語は全員ダメ。英語が分かる人は楽しいかもね。

We had the best time. The crew was great and we met some good friends. We will definitely be doing this again.

Were initially concerned when we saw the cat and number of people going on the cruise however once on board there was ample room. We both had great time the cruise was smooth and fireworks excellent, the crew entertaining and efficient certainly looked after everyone on board. Would recommend it if you want to experience something a little different and have some fun. May not appeal to everyone as there was a bit of drinking but nothing offensive. Well done!

The sunset sail was a great way to end our week on Oahu. Fun crew, great drinks, beautiful sunset and gorgeous views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. They gave us a great suggestion for dinner after the sail as well. Thanks for the making our final night so memorable.

I experienced this on the same day I arrived in Hawaii.

First, the meeting point was hard to find (there are quite a few similar boats), so I walked quite a bit on Waikiki Beach. You enter the water when boarding. There is a risk of sandals without heels being swept away (a child's sandal was lost).

With unlimited drinks and loud music, I thought it might be a young crowd, but families with children were also there, and other guests were friendly and chatted with us (though it might depend on the boat). We had a great time. There were no other Japanese people besides us.

Although it's always summer in Hawaii, the night cruise was cold. I recommend bringing a jacket.

I was hesitant to use the restroom, but I couldn't hold it due to the cold and ended up using it. It's an interesting restroom that you enter by going down a ladder. It's very cramped, and I didn't know how to lock it. It wasn't too dirty, and the smell wasn't bothersome.

The fireworks viewed from the sea were exceptional. The night view was also very beautiful, but the ocean was pitch dark.

Next time, I would like to try the sunset cruise as well.

ハワイに到着したその日に体験しました。
まず、集合場所がわかりづらく（同じような船がけっこうある）ワイキキビーチをかなり歩きました。乗船する際に海に入ります。かかとのないサンダルは流される危険ありです（子供のサンダルが流されました。）
お酒飲み放題で音楽がガンガンかかっていて、若者のノリかとも思いましたが、子連れファミリーでもほかのお客さんが気さくに話しかけてくれたり（その時の船によるでしょうが）、とても楽しめました。日本人は私たち以外にはいませんでした。
常夏のハワイですが、ナイトクルーズは寒かったです。上着を持つことをお勧めします。
トイレはなるべく使用したくないな～と思っていましたが、冷えのせいか我慢できず使用しました。梯子を下りて入る面白いトイレです。とにかく狭い。鍵のかけかたがわからない。それほど汚くはなくにおいも気になりませんでした。
海から見る花火は格別でした。夜景もとてもきれいでしたが、海は真っ暗です。
次回はサンセットクルーズも乗ってみたいです。

The sunset/cocktail cruise was a blast. Captain and ship mate were great. Made the trip fun and exciting!! Got some great shots of the beach from the boat and the sunset was AMAZING! So cool seeing it from atop the deep blue. Definitely recommend it for a fun night away from the hustle bustle of Waikiki. Great bang for you buck!! (try the maitai with champagne...but be careful...they are dangerous!)

The sunset was cool.
After dark I enjoyed the Hawaii skyline even more.
Need to figure out a better flow through the buffet line. The people were entering the buffet area form both sides which caused confusion and not a lot of area to move around in.

I had a blast. I would recommend this boat in a heartbeat and would do it again next time I come.

The atmosphere of cruising while enjoying the breeze on the rooftop deck was fantastic. However, the air conditioning on the second floor was too strong, making it quite cold and not very comfortable for a long stay, so I recommend bringing a jacket for those participating. I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. This time, I happened to choose the fireworks viewing plan, but there was over two hours between sunset and the fireworks, which made the waiting feel tedious and tiring. Ultimately, I think a plan without fireworks viewing would have been better. Next time, I would like to board with a plan that doesn't include fireworks viewing.

屋上デッキで風を浴びながらのクルーズの雰囲気は最高でした。
ただ、２Ｆフロアーはクーラーがききすぎて、寒く、とても長居できないので、参加される方は、上着持参されたほうが良いと思います。
料理はそんなに期待しないほうが良いと思います。
今回たまたま花火鑑賞プランを選びましたが、サンセットから花火までの時間が２時間以上あるので、途中時間を弄び、逆に疲れました。
結果的には、花火鑑賞がついてないプランの方が良かったと思います。
次回は、花火鑑賞付きプラン以外で乗船したいと思います。

In the evening, we set off in time for the fireworks. Onboard, there was an all-you-can-drink selection of alcohol and soft drinks, and by the end, the guests had become friendly and it was a fun, lively tour.

夕刻、花火の時間に合わせ出発。船内では、アルコールやソフトドリンクが飲み放題で同乗したお客同士が最後には仲良くなってワイワイ・ガヤガヤ楽しいツアーでした。

It was amazing and the crew was awesome very friendly!!! Seen dolphins and a whale and it was just beautiful we will do more with this tour
