All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

First time on this cruise and it was awesome. The crew members were friendly and they made it a point to reach out to everyone. The drinks were fantastic and the view was spectacular. Would definitely recommend it.

The sailing was pretty, the views were gorgeous during sunset, and the boat was nice enough. The crew was great. But I don't think it was worth the almost $200 we paid to go as a couple. The drinks were fairly weak, and of course they talk you into buying the $8 souvenir cup under the pretense that you'll get a bigger drink for the same price as the small cups... but they just use more mixer and ice and the same amount of liquor. We expected that and weren't expecting much of the food either since most touristy things like this aren't the best in either department. I'm mostly bummed out that this was advertised as a lantern ceremony sail which is the only reason we booked it. We've wanted to see the ceremony for the past 4 years but didn't want to deal with the huge crowds on shore. I understand that with the surf, you can't get too close, but we hadn't realized just how far away we'd be. It was just distance lights far away against the shore that blended in with he city lights and traffic. I had my extreme zoom telephoto lens and even I could barely tell when the lanterns hit the water. People opted to pull up the live streaming of the ceremony on their phones, which honestly was kind of a cool mixture to be out there live on the water and get a closer view digitally, but not worth $200 for the experience. Overall kind of disappointed, but still a cool way to see a different view of the island. Just not the lantern experience we had expected.

What a fun sail with flowing MaiTai's and beautiful views of Waikiki Beach! The vantage point was incredible to see the Hilton's fireworks show, and the cruise was not overcrowded. The only caveat - they tell you for sure to wear something that can get wet and they are not kidding. Getting on seemed fairly easy, but getting off, the tide seemed to be a little more surly and we got a little wetter (over our knees for sure). Luckily, we were only walking back to our hotel. Overall, a great end to our first wonderful day in Hawaii!

This was my first time participating. There were hardly any Japanese people, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but thanks to the cheerful captain and staff, I had a really enjoyable time. The weather was great that day, and I felt fantastic while watching the beautiful sunset. It's an activity that makes me want to participate again!

初めての参加です
日本人はほとんど居らず日本語も通じませんが陽気なキャプテンとスタッフさんのおかげで大変楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました
当日はお天気にも恵まれ綺麗な夕日を見ながら最高の気分になりました
また参加したいと思えるアクティビティですね！

My husband and I booked this cruise during our stay in Hawaii in December. I wasn't sure what to expect. The crew were very polite and very accommodating! The ride was relatively calm and very enjoyable. The fireworks were spectacular! I would recommend for anyone who has the opportunity to do this cruise to take advantage of it!

How wonderful sailing around Waikiki. Staff were so welcoming, I highly recommend this activity

This was so much fun! Although we couldn't see the sunset because of the distant clouds, the sky above was clear, and we enjoyed a lively atmosphere on the boat, delicious Mai Tais, quite a bit of speed, and thrilling near misses with other boats! It was a very satisfying 90 minutes. The departure from Waikiki Beach made it easily accessible. Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is definitely not to be missed! Thank you very much.

これ、とっても楽しかったです！遠くの雲にじゃまされてサンセットこそ見れませんでしたが頭上は晴天で、賑やかな船上・おいしいマイタイ・けっこうなスピード・他の船とのスリリングなニアミス！と、大満足の９０分でした。ワイキキビーチから出航なのでアクセスも良かった。海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドはやっぱり見逃せませんね～　ありがとうございました。

I spent a blissful time blessed with good weather, wind, and waves. The view of Waikiki from the sea, along with Diamond Head, revealed a different side of Waikiki. The sunset was also very beautiful, and I had a dreamlike experience. I highly recommend it.

天気と風と波に恵まれた至福のの時間を過ごしました。海からみるワイキキの風景、ダイヤモンドヘッド、そこにはいつもと違うワイキキがありました。サンセットもとても美しく、夢のような時間を送りました。ぜひ、おすすめします。

I was a bit anxious because there were few reviews, but it was an absolutely amazing location and a fun time! I had been on a large boat before, but this cruiser vibe unique to Hawaii was just the best.

口コミが少なくて不安でしたが 全然最高のロケーションかつ楽しいひとときでした‼️
大きい船は前に乗りましたが 自分はハワイならではのこのクルーザー雰囲気といい 最高でした

We had an amazing time. First time doing this. Crew was amazing. I would recommend to everyone.

The time spent on the boat was too long. In the second half, it seemed like everyone—foreigners, Japanese, and Koreans—was struggling. Since we had been drinking a lot, there were no restrooms on the boat when we needed to go. When we returned to the sandy beach, everyone dashed back.

船に乗っている時間が長すぎです。
後半は外国人？日本人？韓国人？みんな辛そうでした。
何杯も飲んでいるのでトイレに行きたくなっても船にはありません。
砂浜に帰ってき時は、全員猛ダッシュでした。

Amazing views, staff was very fun and friendly and the drinks were delicious. Best value sunset cruise in Waikiki

We went on the Friday night fireworks cruise. It was great! Then we were told unlimited booze. What a great surprise! Great crew and great music all made for a fun time. Oh, the fireworks were good too!

I joined this by my self.
The clue were really sweet and nice. And of corse the sunset was really gorgeous !
I like the dress cord was barefoot:)
It was my favorite experience in Honolulu.

When I went to Hawaii before, I thought, "I definitely want to ride this next time!" and made a reservation from Japan.
We boarded during sunset, and the atmosphere was great. The spot for watching the fireworks was perfect, making it a wonderful memory!
There's an all-you-can-drink cocktail option, but there are no restrooms, so be careful not to drink too much. Also, it gets cold after the sun sets, so it's a good idea to bring a light jacket.

以前ハワイに行ったときに、次は絶対に乗りたい！と思い日本から予約していきました◎
夕暮れに乗船し雰囲気もよく花火をみる場所もバッチリなのでいい思い出になりました！
カクテル飲み放題ですが、トイレがありませんので飲みすぎは禁物です。あと、日が落ちると寒いので薄手の上着を持参しておいた方がいいです。

During the first time, there were hardly any Japanese people, and the music was lively, which made it very enjoyable. However, this time it was more crowded and a laid-back cruise. I think this was good in its own way! However, the $20 for the photos taken before boarding is way too expensive.

１回目の時は日本人がほとんどおらず、音楽もノリの良い曲をかけてくれたのでとても楽しかったのですが、今回は人も多くマッタリしたクルーズでした。
これはこれで良かったと思います！
ただ、乗船前に撮った写真が20ドルって高すぎる。

Went with my wife and the boat was really nice and the crew was great. Got us is in perfect position to see the fireworks. The food they provided was terrible, barely edible Chinese food. Would have been better off not having food on the boat at all.

A very nice romantic sail, buffet & fireworks display crew helped make it a memorable experience on our ruby wedding anniversary
Thank You

Had a wonderful time. We had the loberster and steak was excellent cook perfectly!

The sunset cruise on the Catamaran was the most wonderful one I've ever experienced! I've been on the Star of Honolulu, Navatek, and Alii Kai, and they were all great, but this time was special. From start to finish, it was open-air, allowing us to truly feel Hawaii. And the sunset was lovely. It was such a delightful time. I think this cruise will definitely become a regular for our family from now on.

Also, everyone is concerned about the restrooms, but there are facilities available. It's all good. I took some photos for reference. To enter, you open the lid and go down about five steps vertically. It might feel a bit daunting, but women were using it too.

サンセットクルーズは、スターオブホノルル号、ナバッテック号、アリイカイ号と乗っていまして、どれも素晴らしいサンセットクルーズでしたが、今回、初めて乗ったカタマラン号のサンセットクルーズが、今までで一番素晴らしい！
最初から最後までオープンエアで、ハワイを実感できます。
そして、素敵なサンセット。
なんとも素敵な時間でした。
次回からも、きっとこのクルーズが我が家の定番になりそうです。

それと、皆さん、トイレを気にしてますが、とりあえずあります。
大丈夫です。
写真を撮りましたので参考にしてください。
入り方は、ふたを開けて、垂直に階段を５段ぐらい降ります。
ちょっと抵抗があるかもしれませんが、女性も利用していました。

This is a must do. So much fun and absolutely stunning views! Captain and co-captain were amazing!

The catamaran cruise offers various time slots, but this sunset cruise is the best. I experienced it for the first time last year and was very moved, so I participated again on the last day this year. I was the only Japanese person, but I had a great time surrounded by cheerful Americans. Unlike large ship cruises, the catamaran glides over the water, and the refreshing sea breeze is very pleasant. We were blessed with good weather and were able to see the best sunset. There is no food provided, but Mai Tais and soft drinks are all-you-can-drink. Considering the generally poor cost performance in Hawaii, I think the value of this event is excellent.

カタマランクルーズはいろんな時間帯がありますが、このサンセットクルーズは最高です。去年初めて経験してとても感動しましたので今年も最終日に参加しました。日本人は私一人でしたが陽気なアメリカ人に囲まれてとても楽しかったです。大型船のクルーズと違って水面を滑るように走るカタマランは気持ちの良い海風がとても爽快です。天気にも恵まれ最高のサンセットを見ることができました。食事などはありませんがマイタイやソフトドリンクは飲み放題です。何かとコストパフォーマンスの悪いハワイにあってこのイベントのコスパは最高だと思います。

We had a great time but did notice there were no fireworks and we booked the fireworks sail?

Crew was nice. Somewhat disorganized at the beach. I don't like when they take pictures to sell you.

As one of the events after the ceremony, we invited both families and boarded a boat. I love this catamaran option and always use it when I go to Hawaii. It was great to see that my mother-in-law and husband, who were riding for the first time, enjoyed it very much. We were able to go close to Diamond Head, take impressive photos, and we were blessed with good weather, allowing us to see a wonderful sunset. I would like to use this service again.

挙式後のイベントのひとつとして、両家を招待して乗船しました。
私はカタマランのこのオプションが大好きで、ハワイに行くと必ず利用しています。
はじめて乗った義母も旦那さんもとても楽しめた様で、良かったです。
ダイヤモンドヘッドに近いところまで回って、迫力ある写真も取れましたし、お天気にも恵まれ、素晴らしいサンセットを見ることが出来ました。また利用したいです。

Departing from Waikiki Beach at dusk.
Since it was Friday, we were able to enjoy the fireworks launched from the Sheraton Village from the sea.
I indulged in the luxurious experience of sipping a Mai Tai while taking in the night view of Waikiki.

夕暮れにワイキキの浜から出航。
ちょうど金曜日であったため、シェラトンビレッジの打ち上げる花火を海上から眺めることができました。
マイタイを飲みながらワイキキの夜景を眺めるというぜいたくな時間を満喫しました。

I participated in a night cruise where we could see the fireworks on Friday. The boat had minimal rocking, and the night view of Waikiki was amazing. With free drinks, we had unlimited Hawaiian cocktails, and it was quite lively. It's safe even for families with children, so I highly recommend it.

金曜の花火がみられるナイトクルーズに参加。船は揺れも少なく、ワイキキの夜景は最高。フリードリンクでハワイのカクテルも飲み放題で、かなり盛り上がりました。子ども連れでも危険はなくお薦めです。

It was the only event during this trip with few Japanese people. The fireworks were clearly visible, and it was lively and fun. Although it was an all-you-can-drink option, I felt like I might get seasick from drinking too much.

今回の旅で唯一日本人が少ないイベントでした。
花火もよく見え、ノリがよく楽しかったです。
飲み放題ですが、飲みすぎて船酔い誘発しそうでした。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset! Onboard, drinks were served, and there were tourists singing along to the background music (laughs), but the atmosphere was relaxed, making it easy to enjoy the cruise. Anyway, as long as the weather is good, I think it will be a wonderful memory.

お天気に恵まれ、素敵なサンセットを眺めることが出来ました！
船内ではドリンクが振る舞われ、BGMで合唱する観光客の方達もいましたが（笑）、リラックスした雰囲気でクルーズを楽しめます。とにかく、お天気が悪くなければ良い思い出になるかと思います。

Lots of drinks and laughs and a beautiful sunset cruise – shame one of the other passengers stole my flip flops when we went ashore!
