All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

I used it on the last day in Hawaii. It was much more comfortable than I expected, with very little rocking. However, since there are no walls on the yacht, it can get cold when the wind blows, so I recommend preparing warm clothing.

ハワイ最終日に利用させていただきました。
予想していたほど揺れはなく、非常に快適でした。
ただ、ヨットには壁等はなく、風が吹くと寒いので、
防寒着だけはしっかり用意した方が良いと思います。

I searched for a short cruise without meals and participated. The weather was nice that day, so it wasn't too cold in the evening, and the scenery was amazing! I could see Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach from the sea, and even a whale spouting in the distance! It was the perfect cruise that I could join between daytime activities and dinner time, yet it felt relaxed and enjoyable! This time, it was just the two of us, but next time I want to encourage our kids to join as well!

短時間で乗れる食事の付かないクルーズをさがして参加しました。
当日お天気が良かったため、夕方からもそれほど寒くなく、景色が最高でした！
ダイヤモンドヘッド、海からのワイキキビーチ、遠くにクジラが潮を吹いているのも見えました！
昼間の遊びの時間と晩御飯の時間の間に参加出来る、しかし、ゆったりした最高のクルーズでした！
今回は夫婦2人の参加でしたが、次回は子供たちにも参加を勧めたいと思っています！

I went with my 5-year-old and 8-year-old. The kids were super excited as we occasionally got splashed by the waves. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the clouds, but we got close to Diamond Head and enjoyed some great views.

5歳と5歳と8歳の子連れで乗りました
波しぶきがたまにかかったりして、子ども達は大興奮でしたね
残念ながら雲で日没は見えませんでしたが、ダイアモンドヘッドにも近づいたり、いい景色が見られました

Lots of fun, good food, great crew. Safety and "fun" was the name of the game.

This was my second time participating, but there were no other Japanese people besides us. If you don't understand English at all, it might be a bit concerning. Watching the fireworks from the boat was amazing. It started to rain partway through, and because we were on the sea, it was very windy and quite cold. Since the weather can change quickly, I recommend preparing for the cold.

今回２度目の参加でしたが日本人は私たち以外いませんでした。
全く英語が解らないと、ちょっと心配かもしれません。
船上からの花火観賞はサイコーでした。
途中から雨が降ってきて、海上のため風が強くとても寒かったです。
お天気が変わりやすいので、防寒対策して行くのをお勧めします。

I didn't encounter dolphins or sea turtles, but I was truly moved by the beautiful sunset and the cobalt blue sea! The all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was incredibly delicious! I want to join again!!!

イルカや海ガメとは、遭遇出来ませんでしたが…
本当に美しい夕日とコバルトブルーの海に感動しました！
飲み放題だったマイタイ、すごく美味しかったです！また参加したい！！！

Great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we arrived on Friday, I was looking for a nice place to watch the fireworks with him. I considered various options like dinner cruises and restaurants, but taking into account our schedule during the stay (the wedding), I found a plan that combined the fireworks with a cruise, which I wanted to include in this trip to Hawaii. I made the reservation right away.

The staff were lively, and the atmosphere was great with music, a relaxing breeze, and a beautiful night view. We were able to see the fireworks from a really good spot! It was a wonderful start to our night, feeling great right after our arrival!

金曜到着だったので、これは花火を素敵なところで（彼と）見なければ♪と、いろいろ探していました。ディナークルーズやレストラン、いろいろ検討しましたが、滞在中のスケジュール（挙式）なども考慮して、花火と、これまた今回のハワイ旅行で取り入れたかったクルーズがセットになっているプランを発見。さっそく予約しました。
ノリのいいスタッフさん達に、音楽～まったり風と夜景も楽しめる雰囲気もちゃんとあり～で、とてもよかったです。花火もしっかりいいスポットで見れました！
到着早々、いい気分でスタートの夜でした！

It was a very cost-effective optional tour. I enjoyed Mai Tai cocktails and champagne, and had a romantic evening. Next time, I want to join during sunset. There were fewer Japanese participants, but everyone was lively and it was fun ^_^

If I had to point out one thing, the directions might be unclear. The right exit from the Sheraton Hotel pool is for the Mai Tai cocktail tour, but we went out the left exit and waited in front of a sign with a similar name. We later realized our mistake after asking around and hurriedly ran back. The names of the tours are similar, so please be careful. By the way, the main sign for the tour we mistakenly joined had pictures of a catamaran and the ocean, while the Mai Tai tour had a sign in red letters. The Mai Tai tour is just outside the Sheraton pool. The mistaken tour required quite a walk from the Sheraton pool, so that might help as a reference.

Even with the mix-up at the meeting point, it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii. I absolutely recommend it.

とてもコスパの高いオプショナルツアーでした。
マイタイのカクテルやシャンパンをいただき、ロマンティックな夜を過ごさせていただきました。今度はサンセットの時間帯に参加したいです。日本人は少なめですが、みんなノリノリで楽しかったです^_^
ひとつ指摘をあげるのであれば、案内が分かりづらいかもしれません。シェラトンホテルのプールから右側出口がマイタイカクテルツアーですが、私達は左側出口に出て、似たような名前の看板の前で待ち、後から周囲に聞いて謝りに気づき慌てて走りました。ツアーの名前も似てますので、気をつけてください。因みに間違えたツアーのメイン案内板は双胴船や海の写真が入ってますが、マイタイツアーは確か赤字での案内板でした。マイタイツアーはシェラトンのプールから出てすぐです。間違えたツアーはシェラトンのプールから出て、結構歩きましたので目安になると思います。
待ち合わせ場所を間違えたハプニングを除いても、とても良いハワイの思い出になりました。絶対おすすめです。

The cruise was the best part of the entire Waikiki trip!

Had a great time. Saw lots of turtles and enjoyed laying on the net to get splashed. Very informative. Great Captain and mate. Will definitely do again.

I felt like I was on the boat for quite a long time! I usually don't take the time to enjoy the sunset, so I was completely relaxed and lost track of time. After the sun went down, I was able to enjoy the night view as well ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ On the way back, the waves were a bit rough, and I got seasick. But I want to go again!

結構長い時間のっていた気がします！！
夕日が沈むまで、ゆっくり見ることなんて普段ないので、時間を忘れて癒されました。
沈んでからは、夜景も堪能できました( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
帰りにじゃっかん波があらくて、船酔いしました。
でも、また行きたいです！

About 20% of the people were Japanese, but on the contrary, that really enhanced the feeling of being on an overseas trip, which was great. I was quite surprised that they went all the way out to the open sea!

日本人は２割くらいでしたが、逆にそれが海外旅行に来ている感をupさせてくれとてもよかったです。結構沖のほうまで行ってくれてびっくりしました！

My husband and I went on this cruise as part of our honeymoon. It far exceeded our expectations! The staff was not only knowledgeable but incredibly fun and friendly. We felt so much Aloha. We enjoyed it so much we are going back again next year and doing this again. We are bringing friends this time!

It was our family's first catamaran ride in 15 years! No matter when you ride, you can enjoy the essence of Hawaii! The kids, who were small back then, fell asleep during the trip, but this time they are adults (laughs), so they thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise while sipping on Mai Tais! Honestly, it seemed like the kids would have enjoyed the atmosphere even more if they had gone with people who weren't family (laughs).

家族で15年ぶりのカタマランでした！いつ乗っても、ハワイらしさを楽しめます！
当時、小さかった子供たちは途中で寝てしまっていましたが、今回は成人してるので（笑）、しっかりマイタイを頂きながら、サンセットクルーズを堪能していました！
・・正直、子供たちには、家族じゃない人と乗った方が、尚、雰囲気を楽しめそうでしたが（笑）

We loved the cruise from the moment we boarded to the moment we stepped off! The crew and catamaran were top notch and professionals at having fun! We were celebrating with my son and daughter in law and eveverything was amazing and entertaining!

The catamaran heading towards the sunset was very stable, and the hotel cluster in Waikiki was beautifully lit up. For just a moment, the fireworks from the sea were amazing!

夕日に向かって走るカタマラン号は揺れも余り無く、
ワイキキのホテル群がライトアップされてとても美しかったです。
ほんの一瞬ですが、海上からの花火は素晴らしい～

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Spirit of Aloha!
The departing location is very convenient and we could just walk from our our hotel. The check-in was fast and after we boarded the Captain gave us a safety briefing and we started the sail.
The appetizers were good, they have a small buffet line with wings, meatballs and dried snacks. The bar has a selection of draft beer, champagne and cocktails and the prices are very reasonable. Watching the sunset in Hawaii listening to good music, cocktails and friends was the highlight of trip. The views from Waikiki are amazing and at this time of the year, after the sunset we still got to sail under the starts and it was very relaxing. Make sure to include this cruise on your next trip to Hawaii!

We did the sunset sail our last night in Oahu and had a blast! Cruising around the water in Hawaii with open bar, can't go wrong!

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.

楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

My husband and I recently moved to Oahu, and my parents were coming to visit us for Thanksgiving....I wanted to find something different we could do so I thought a dinner cruise would be perfect and relaxing. The food was subpar, and they made it seem like it was going to be a huge spread. We did not get to see fireworks, when the weather seemed fine. And towards the end of the cruise, we were just hanging out in the same area for quite some time before we had to dock. I am usually not one to complain, or write reviews, but I suggest you ask specific questions if considering these particular cruises so you are not left disappointed. We felt as though it was a waste of our money, and we would have rather gone out for a nice dinner, and sat outside to watch the sunset.

The sunset view in Waikiki is amazing, but I had a memory of the dinner cruise food being... so for our first family trip to Hawaii, I chose only the sunset cruise and participated in this tour. It was a bit chilly as we were properly exposed to the wind, but I had a fun and pleasant time.

ワイキキに夕陽が落ちていく景色は最高なんだけど、ディナークルーズの食事は･･･という記憶があったので、初の家族ハワイ旅ではサンセットクルーズのみを選択して、このツアーに参加。まともに風を受けるので少し肌寒いですが、楽しく、気持ちよく過ごせました。　

Great hosts, great craft! Loved every moment!!!

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.

First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"

The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.

2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は１階フロアで円卓の8人掛け　そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。　最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低　すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか！」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何！　そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし！　と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、　2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、　検討中の方々に参考になればと　思い投稿することにしました。

Great staff, excellent selection of drinks at the bar! I've been on a lot of tours like it but this stood out as one of the best.

It's full of couples and groups of friends.

It seems like there's an all-you-can-drink option, but the boat sways quite a bit, so I only had one drink.

The sunset view from the boat was really nice.

カップルや友達連れの人だらけです。

お酒飲み放題みたいだけど、
船はわりと揺れるので一杯だか飲みました。

船から見るサンセットはとても良かったです

The day we participated, there were few Japanese people.
The sunset was very beautiful.
I was satisfied with the postcard-like photos I took.

私達が参加した日は日本人が少なかったです。
夕日がとっても綺麗
絵ハガキのような写真が撮れて満足です。

This was an awesome trip. We had quite some waves on the ocean but the boat felt save all the time.
The people are nice. Good drinks.
We had a great sun set.

The crew for this catamaran was awesome, super friendly and great people to talk to my wife and I truly enjoyed ourself. I would say we had one of the best seats to watch the fireworks

Unfortunately, the cloudy sky meant we couldn't see the sunset at all, which was disappointing. However, the staff were very friendly to families, and it was a lively and fun atmosphere, especially with tourists from Europe and America. I was a bit taken aback by two women speaking in Kansai dialect who were dancing wildly with strange energy... I would like to try again on a day with better weather.

あいにくの曇り空でサンセットが全く見れず残念でした。
ただ、スタッフは家族連れにも親切で欧米からの観光客を中心にわいわい楽しくといった感じで良かったです。関西弁の女性二人が変なテンションで踊り狂っていたのにはちょっと引きましたが。。。
今度は天気の良い日に再度トライしたいと思います。
