All Reviews for Sunset Cocktail Cruises

It was a great experience, from our pick up at Waikiki to the Pier.
Everything was better than I expected, the bus had plenty of space, and the ride was smooth.
When we got to the pier we only waited for 10 minutes in order to be inside the boat.
My wife and I wanted to have a good time, since we are newlyweds and we were spending our honeymoon in Hawaii.
The food was delicious and the bartender was one of the best in Hawaii, will never forget the High Tide, it really made my night better.
It was a romantic night and the crew made the best they could in order to make us feel comfortable.
I wish to go back again in my next trip to Hawaii.
Aloha!

I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal A whole lobster n steak!! Purple bread was awesome wonderful soo so entertaining they singed happy birthday to ny mom too was soo fun

We spent an evening aboard the Makani during our honeymoon... What a great decision it was!!! The staff was very friendly, you truly can tell that they enjoy their jobs and want to have their guests to have the best time possible. Our cruise may have had 20 other guess on board. They could have easily fit 2x that many so it was not crowded. The Bartender named Stretch mixes some delicious drinks, and they are STRONG :) Food was much better then expected. We enjoyed a beef stir fry, sushi wraps, egg rolls, teriyaki chicken, salad, white rice, cookies and more. The scenery was extremely romantic and a perfect evening during our honeymoon!! Special note: Bring camera and selfie stick. Alot of people aboard our boat didn't have one and said that is one thing theyd bring next time

I thought the event might be canceled because it was raining quite heavily by the meeting time, but we set sail 30 minutes late in light rain. There were only two Japanese families, including us; the rest were all foreigners. Mai Tai was served, and we all toasted together. Mixing with the cheerful foreigners and aided by the drinks, we ended up having quite a bit of fun. Although the enjoyment of sipping cocktails while watching the setting sun was somewhat diminished, the rain stopped, and we were treated to a beautiful double rainbow, so it turned out well.

集合時間になっても結構強い雨が降っていたので中止になるのかと思っていましたが、30分遅れで小雨の中を出航。日本人は私たちともう1家族だけで後はすべて外国人でした。マイタイがサーブされてみんなで乾杯。陽気な外国人に混ざって、酔いも手伝って結構はしゃいでしまいました。沈みゆく夕日を見ながらカクテルをという楽しみは半減しましたが、雨がやんでダブルの虹がきれいに見えていたので良しとしました。

The title is a little confusing when booking the Friday sunset cocktail sail ...... kinda sounds like you're getting the fireworks at the end. Unfortunately, that's a totally different sail, but would have been nice. The sail kind of just goes back and forth between the Hilton and the Westin until sunset then goes in. I wasn't fond of the run drink they served, but it comes with the price. All in all, the captain and 1 person crew/bartender were accommodating. I would recommend it.

We did the activity our first night and Hawaii and it started the trip off right. We had a wonderful time!

We took the sunset cruise on our last night in Waikiki. It was such a fun way to end our trip! The crew was great and took great care of us aboard the boat. It was such a relaxing way to spend the evening. If we lived closer, I would take this cruise all the time!

This is Hawaii!
It's incredibly refreshing!
The scenery is wonderful!
Last time, I watched the fireworks from Mai Tai on Friday night, but this time, I recommend the sunset!

これぞハワイ！
最高に気持ちいい！
素晴らしい景色！
前回は金曜夜の花火をマイタイからみましたが、今回のサンセットのほうがオススメです！

Was it because of the sunset? We waited over 30 minutes before departure, but we got to see a beautiful sunset. The crew was very friendly, and they kept refilling our wine, which made us very satisfied. It's a great tour for those who enjoy drinking.

日の入りの関係か？出航まで30分以上待たされましたが、綺麗なサンセットが見れました。クルーたちも大変気さくで、ワインのお代わりもいっぱい注いでもらい大満足でした。お酒好きにはお得なツアーです。

My fiancé & I absolutely loved every second of this sunset cruise. The staff is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, & the views are just perfect. We have already decided on our next trip, we will for sure be doing this again. If you're smart, you'll take them up on the offer prior to boarding the boat. They offer a shaker with a house cocktail which you get before boarding to pregame but it also gets you on the boat before anybody else (plus the drink is so so good)

I participated in a tour during Silver Week. The sunset viewed from the catamaran and the Waikiki sunset were amazing. The Mai Tai was a bit weak in alcohol but still delicious. I switched to beer and enjoyed a few Mai Tais along with some beer. We encountered some rain and got soaked, but that was part of the fun. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

The only downside was that although the meeting time was set for 5 PM, when I asked the staff before 5 PM, they said, "We won't check in for another 20 minutes," and we ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes before departure. I wish I could have done more shopping during that time, so I deducted one star for that. However, it was such a fun tour that I almost forgot about that.

シルバーウィークにツアーに参加してきました。
カタマランから見るサンセット、ワイキキの夕日、　最高でした。
マイタイもアルコールが薄いけれども　おいしかったです。
ビールへの変更もでき、マイタイ数杯と、ビールを飲んできました。
途中で雨に会い、びしょ濡れになりましたが、これも醍醐味。
とても楽しい2時間でした。
ただマイナス点は、集合時間が5時になっていたのに、5時前に係りの人に尋ねると、「後20分くらいしないとチェックしない」と言われ、出航まで結局 30分近く待っていました。
それならもっと買い物したかったのに、、、と時間がすこしもったいなかったのでマイナス星１つです。
でもそれを忘れるくらいたのしいツアーでした。

On the evening of our arrival in Honolulu, we boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran. A nice breeze was blowing, and it was perfect cruising weather with big waves. We thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful sunset with cocktails in hand, accompanied by a lively crew and great background music. I will definitely ride again!

ホノルル到着日の夕方にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗り込みました。良い風が吹き、波も大きなクルーズ日和。ノリの良いクルーとBGMでカクテル片手に素晴らしいサンセットを心行くまで楽しみました。また絶対乗ります！

My husband and I were on our first trip to Hawaii and decided to book the Makani Dinner Cruise for our first night in Oahu. The weather was beautiful and the boat was very comfortable. The crew was very fun, polite, and helpful. It was a little confusing though about the drink coupons, or maybe it was just me, but I thought that you got two alcoholic drinks with the coupons and then the nonalcoholic drinks were free, that wasn't the case tho, anything after the two were at a cost. I will say that the drinks were pretty strong. We didn't see any dolphins and I was disappointed about that, but I can't blame them for that. All in all we enjoyed ourselves very much and the sites were great. I would have given five stars if just water would have been included after the two drinks.

I would highly recommend the Navatek Dinner Cruise. My husband and I both chose a chicken entree and it was fabulous. The staff was friendly and fun. The entertainment was awesome. This was our second time on board and we will definitely do it again. Thanks Navatek!!

This sunset cruise is very amazing, we book this trip as part of our honeymoon special memory. We got picked up from my hotel(Marriott) @3:30pm with nice Benz shuttle bus, got port @4:45 and start trip @5pm on board the lovely Makani ship.
The dinner start after 30 mins leave port, and really delicious(especially the chicken, my wife look a lot).
During the trip, we saw the nice Waikiki beach view and diamond head mountain, the sea is so deep blue and so pure. it feel different from what you see at the beach!
The exciting moment for this cruise must be at the sunset moment! and we are able to see it!(we stay there several days, but most sunset blocked by cloud, and we are so lucky that able to see the sunset!), in the attachment i attach few pics that i took at the sunset moment! Then we head back, we got back to port @7pm and ride shuttle bus back to hotel @ 8pm with nice memory.
At last, the Captain looks very nice and professional and thank you give us a nice sunset cruise!

It seems that the cruise on Saturday coincided with a local anniversary gathering, resulting in quite a crowd. There was also a group of about eight Japanese people from a company trip in the Kansai area. The crew was all very friendly, and we had a great time. The boat goes quite fast. Since we departed in the evening, it was a great idea to bring a long-sleeved shirt. We were able to take some lovely sunset photos. Since there was an all-you-can-drink option, be aware that while there are restrooms available, my husband and son mentioned that it might be a bit difficult for women to use them.

土曜日のクルーズと言う事と、地元の人の記念日の集まりにも重なったようで、かなりの人出でした。関西方面の会社の社員旅行の8名ほどの日本人のグループもご一緒でした。クルーは全員大変にフレンドリーで楽しめました。船はかなりスピードが出ます。夕方出発と言う事もあり、長そでを一枚持って行って大正解。素敵なサンセットの写真も撮れました。飲み放題と言う事もあり、飲み過ぎてしまうとトイレもありますが、女性はちょっと入りにくいだろうと、主人や息子の感想でしたのでご注意を。

My husband and I love the sailing cruise!! The rain was pouring down the day before and we were worried about our cruise, and it turned out the weather was just perfect on our cruise day. The staff are very friendly and make everybody comfortable. Dinner and two drinks are also delicious. We saw a very beautiful and amazing sunset in our life. The sailor girl is pretty cool when she pulls the two sails in wind. She also caught a large tree(not a big fish!) on our way back, which added to our trip another deep and funny impression. All in all, everything is great and we will definitely recommend this trip to our friends and probably try a second time!!!

We participated as a family of three. Unfortunately, due to the poor weather and high waves, some people became unwell. However, the boarding area was good, taking less than 10 minutes from the Royal Hawaiian Center. I think it's very nice that you can interact with other travelers since it's a shared experience.

Depending on the weather, it could be the best experience!

3家族で参加しました。天候が芳しくなく波が高かった為、体調不良者も出て残念でした。
しかし、乗船場もロイヤルハワイアンセンターから10分掛からずにＧＯＯＤ。乗り合いの為、他の旅行者とも交流ができる点は非常に良いと思います。

天候次第では最高になると思います！！

+ The sunset is beautiful
+ Drink as much as you want!
+ Crew was friendly and we stayed a bit longer
+ The extras: they take a nice photo of you

My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and were pleasantly surprised. I was a little apprehensive as the yacht looked quite small compared to the number of people waiting to board. But once we were on board, there was plenty of room for everyone. There was a bar on board with a wide range of drinks to choose from (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). I wasn't too crazy about the food; it was too bland for my taste and because I do not like BBQ chicken. Some normal American food (bread, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes) would have made me a super happy camper. The ride was smooth for the most part and I loved the fact that the captain turned the yacht around when we spotted Dolphins and we were able to get a up close and personal look. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time on the water and a beautiful sunset.

The day we participated, there was hardly any wind, so it didn't sway at all! However, since it's a small boat, it seemed like it would sway a lot on windy days. After the ride, the boat quickly heads back, so if you want to take pictures with the boat, make sure to do it beforehand or get off the boat early!

わたしたちが参加した日は全然風がなくて揺れませんでした！ただ、大きくない船なので風の強い日はすごく揺れそうでした。乗り終わった後はさっさと船は帰って行ってしまうので船とともに写真を撮りたい方は先に撮っておくか早い目に船から降りましょう！

I participate every time I come to Hawaii. I've joined various optional tours, but this one is the most fun. This time, we were the only two Japanese people, and there was a newlywed couple and their family participating, so it felt like their party. Even in such a situation, I think we were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to the sky and sea of Waikiki. We had a great view of the sunset, but I ended up drinking too much, influenced by those around me. If you're staying in Waikiki and don't get seasick, I definitely recommend joining.

ハワイに来るたびに参加しています。いろんなオプショナルツアーに参加しましたが、これが一番楽しいです。今回は、珍しく日本人は我々２名のみ。新婚さんとその家族が参加されており、その人たちのパーティーのようにもなってました。こんな状況でさえ、楽しめるのは、ワイキキの空と海のおかげだと思います。夕焼けもバッチリ見えましたが、周りにつられ、飲みすぎてしまいました。ワイキキに宿泊される方、船に酔わない方はぜひ参加ください。

We took 20 people on this cruise as part of our pre-wedding, Welcome to Hawaii event. It was absolutely perfect. The drinks were flowing, the crew members were friendly and outgoing, and the boat was big enough that we didn't feel jammed in - we had plenty of room to spread out and mingle with the whole group. Would definitely recommend this activity to others. Totally worth the cost!

As my review title highlights, it is pretty much self-explanatory what I'm going to describe about this event that took place on August the 28th, 2015. It was one of the most exciting moments of our lifetime. Since we booked this event we have been looking forward to it. Finally when the time arrived we boarded Makani Catamaran with a wonderful reception from the crews. They were all very funny and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and well organized. We sailed on time and were at the fireworks at the right moment. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with beautiful music. On the top of that we were also given a free drink. Had a nice opportunity to view the sunset as well. It was everything that you can expect on your first event in Hawaii!

On March 6th, I participated in a sunset cruise. First, I was worried about getting seasick, but it didn't rock as much as I thought, so I was fine. It was a bit chilly, but I got to see a beautiful rainbow and sunset, which was fantastic. Also, the all-you-can-drink option was great. I did get a little splashed, but that was fun in its own way. I highly recommend it!

３月６日に、サンセットクルーズに参加させて頂きました。
まず、船酔いが心配だったのですが、思ったほど揺れなくて大丈夫でした。
少し肌寒ったのですが、きれいな虹と夕日が見れたので最高でした。
後、飲み放題ってところも、良かったです。
水しぶきも少しかかったのですが、それはそれで、楽しかったです。
おすすめですよ。

The weather was uncertain, but it held up, and just in time for sunset, the clouds cleared, allowing us to enjoy the sunset beautifully. Surrounded by cheerful Americans visiting from the mainland and Koreans living in Japan, I had a great time on the cruise, experiencing a boat that sped close to the water even after sunset. The staff provided attentive service, making it a very pleasant tour, and I'm glad I participated.

天候が危ぶまれたがなんとか持って、しかもサンセットの時には雲も切れてグッドタイミングで日没を堪能出来ました。
本土から来ていた陽気なアメリカンと日本在住のコリアンに囲まれて楽しいクルーズでサンセット後も海面スレスレを快走する船を体験出来ました。
スタッフも細かい接客が出来ていてとても気持ちの良いツアーに参加出来て良かったです。

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best cruising experience. This time, we were a group of six: an elderly couple in their 70s, a 4-year-old, a 1-year-old, and my spouse and I. The waves were calmer than expected, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunset without any rocking. Also, as the name suggests, the Mai Tai Catamaran offered unlimited Mai Tais, which was satisfying. Although my English skills are limited, I was able to board smoothly without any inconvenience. It was nice to see that most of the guests were foreigners, with only a few Japanese families. I would love to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii.

天気に恵まれ最高のクルージングとなりました。今回は70歳の老夫婦と4歳１歳と私たち夫婦の6人でお世話になりました。思ったより穏やかな波で揺れることなく、夕陽もとてもきれいに楽しめました。また、マイタイカタマラン号というだけにマイタイ飲み放題で満足です。英語力がないのですが、なんとなくすんなり乗船でき、不便はまったくありませんでした。日本人も二、三組で外人がほとんどなのが、また良かったです。またハワイに来たら利用したいです。

This sunset cruise is well run, offers a good cruise out beyond Diamond Head and a great view of the Hilton Fireworks. Food is good but not luxurious. Very family friendly. Highly recommended!

We booked this with our 3 girls, ages 8, 8 & 10. This is a very family-friendly activity, and the girls interacted with other kids on the boat to make the experience better. The catamaran is comfortable and sails extremely well. We went all the way around Diamond Head before sunset, really good views! Dinner was salad, tofu rolls, chicken, beef, and extremely tasty. Not luxurious (if you want that, take the Star of Honolulu...for much more money!). The bar was well stocked. Sunset was beautiful. We had front row seats for the Hilton fireworks. The kids stayed interested and engaged the whole 3 hours, and adults had fun too! Transportation to and from Waikiki was efficient and on time.
Great value and highly recommended.

Since it was in the evening, we went on the day of our arrival. The cruise was pleasant, and the sunset was very enjoyable, making for a wonderful first day!

夕方からなので到着日に行きました。
クルーズは気持ちがよく、サンセットもとても気持ちよくて、とても素敵な初日になりました！
