Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Great Catamaran, Amazing Views, UpBeat Crew, A++

Reviewed by: Dustin

My wife and were on vacation for a vow renewal after 14 years that we wanted to celebrate with amazing Oahu views. I had never heard of Makani and will be sure to spread the good word to many of our friends about an overall unforgettable trip! The Makani Catamaran Sunset Dinner Cruise was 5 star all the way. The boat was amazing, the staff was incredible (polite, fun, upbeat, funny and overall engaging) the food was great and, of course, how could you beat an amazing Hawaiian sunset watching the perfect fireball dip in to the endless blue water. You always expect for the trip to be good when you pay the money to be entertained, but this trip far exceeded my expectations. Everyone wanted to lay out on the catamaran nets to watch the fireworks which is always fun. Overall, this trip was the single highlight of our week long vacation in paradise and I wouldn't have changed a thing. A++ rating for the Makani and as I stated before, we will be sure to spread the word that Makani is the #1 way to spend your night watching the fireworks over the beautiful beaches of Oahu.

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Great Friday Fireworks Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Derek S.

I had been looking for a nice dinner cruise that is a little more intimate than the large ships with several hundred people. The Makani sunset dinner cruise was perfect with only 30-40 people and a much more personal feel. Check-in was 5:00 and we boarded the catamaran around 5:20. We were given a quick overview of the ship, safety protocol, and facilities and were off around 5:30.

The initial drink service was a little slow with only one bartender but after the first round, ran fairly quickly. The food came out about 30-45 minutes into the trip and was a very tasty buffet line, similar fare to most Asian buffets in Hawaii.

The catamaran is a great design with a lot of exposed areas to stand, sit, and sunbathe as well as rails all around the ship. There is also a covered seating/dining area below deck in the center with the bar that is perfect for getting out of the wind and/or enjoying your dinner.

The night we went out was pretty windy/choppy but it didn't bother us and didn't look like anyone else aboard the ship had any motion sickness issues. The crew was very friendly and helped to deliver a great dinner cruise experience. We had captain Johnny, bartender Jenna, and can't remember the first mates name.

The fireworks display finished off our night and then we quickly returned to the harbor. I'd definitely recommend this dinner cruise and will take friends and family visiting Hawaii on this again in the future.

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open-Bar

Romanticc Sunset Catamaran

Reviewed by: Jorge

Incredible views of Honolulu & Diamond head, nice breeze, a fun crew, and all you can drink Mai Tais, what could be better?

My wife & I were really glad we chose the sunset catamaran over the night (fireworks) one, as it got a bit chilly after the sunset... especially if you happen to get wet. If you enjoy being at the front of the catamaran, I would recommend a swimsuit, as you'll probably get wet. Also, if you choose the Friday night catamaran, just be aware that fireworks are only about 10 minutes long at around 7:45pm.

Otherwise, this is a must, enjoy it!

Last memories of the trip. 旅の最後の思い出

Reviewed by: 赤塚良太

I signed up for this cruise because I wanted to experience the best sunset on the last day. The waves were rolling right in front of me, sparkling and creating an incredible atmosphere. The weather was also perfect, allowing for an emotional sunset. I think it's definitely better than being on a cruise ship. I will participate in this again next time.

最終日に最高のサンセットに出合いたくてこのクルーズに申し込みました。波が目の前でうねりキラキラ輝いていて臨場感が半端ないです。天気も最高によかったので感動的なサンセットが見れました。クルーズ船より断然いいと思います。次回もこれには参加すると思います。

素晴らしい！ wonderful!

Reviewed by: SKY

It was a very special time. The staff all spoke English. They also provided explanations about the restrooms and other things. It was on a boat. There was an all-you-can-drink option. Almost everyone ordered a Mai Tai cocktail. They were very accommodating with refills. There were also other drinks available, including sparkling wine and white wine. Knowing it was all-you-can-drink, I brought some snacks. I wasn't particularly scolded for eating, and it felt like it was okay. An overseas guest who was on board praised it as the best Mai Tai they had ever had. It was very easy to drink.

When getting on and off the boat, your feet can get wet. I recommend bringing a towel or a cover-up. The staff is very kind and offers to help.

The view from the boat is amazing. The sunset over the horizon was beautiful, and we were able to see the sun setting.

It was very special time.
とても素敵な時間でした。スタッフは全員が英語でした。トイレなどの説明もしてくれました。船にあります。飲み放題でした。マイタイカクテルをほぼ全員が注文。おかわりも、快くいれてくれます。また、ちがうドリンクやスパークリングワインや白ワインなどもありました。飲み放題と知ってたので、スナックを持ち込みました。特に食べていて注意されたりはなく、オッケーという感じでした。一緒に乗っていた海外の方はこれまでに飲んだマイタイの中で一番おいしいと絶賛していました。とても飲みやすかったです。
船に乗り込むときやおりるときに足がぬれます。タオルやはおりものを一枚もっていくのをおすすめします。スタッフが手を貸してくれたりします。とても親切でした。
船からの景色は最高です。水平線に夕日がきれいで、太陽が沈むところまでみれました。

There are various cruises, but I think this one is the best. First of all, it's close to nature! You can feel the waves and the wind while boarding barefoot. It's also great that you can take pictures with the cheerful staff and enjoy free drinks. Soaking in the romantic atmosphere while watching the sunset is the best. It would be even better if I could speak more English.

いろんなクルーズがありますが1番イイと思います。まず何と言っても自然に近い！波や風を感じて裸足で乗船。陽気なスタッフと写真を撮ったり、ドリンクもフリーなのがまた嬉しい。サンセットを見ながらロマンチックな雰囲気に浸るのも最高です。後は英語がもっとできるとなお良い。

Great way to enjoy the sunset!

Reviewed by: Justin

My friend and I had a really enjoyable time on the Makani Sunset Dinner Sailing cruise. Used the shuttle service that picked up right at the hotel and was comfortable, convenient and the driver was professional and courteous. The check-in process was simple and easy. The ship itself was in good condition, larger size and the group was manageable, good mix of people and not overcrowded. The Captain was professional yet casual and fun along with the staff including the entertaining bartender. The drinks were fun and good and the food was also good and filling and good mix of options with more than enough for seconds. The cruise itself was a highly enjoyable great experience on the water, view of Waikiki and the Crater. The full moon over the crater was an awesome treat along with the crew keeping the boat in perfect position to watch the Friday night fireworks. They returned the boat right on time and the shuttle back was also convenient. All-in-all, it was a great experience and recommend it to others.

The Deluxe sunset cruise with window seating is worth the extra dough!

Reviewed by: Maiwayalways1

Do not skimp on this cruise... The window seating is spacious and the views are breathtaking! And when you arrive back@ the Harbor, you will be allowed off first. No cramped, uncomfortable seating and no waiting for your meal or to exit off. We're not impatient people but when you have small children and want the views this upgrade is worthy.

The deluxe dinner cruise was great! We upgraded to the window seating and that was a fantastic choice for our family. The investment was worthwhile.The children had front views of the water and full moon. The dinner was good but the beef was the highlight. It was so tender like prime rib! So good!
The fireworks were nice and the entertainment was engaging. The entire staff including the Captain were hospitable and welcoming. It was our second cruise with Navatek but our children's first and it's definitely one of our families' favorite excursions.

Great night out

Reviewed by: Janine Batley

This dinner cruise was very entertaining and relaxed. We came away at the end of the night thoroughly impressed. The staff on board were very nice, they talked to us personally about Hawaii and what to do while we were staying. The dinner was buffet style and the food was very tasty. Be sure to take warm clothing, as it got later into the night there was a cool sea breeze. The fireworks were impressive, however even without the fireworks the dinner cruise would still be just as good. The boat was in lovely condition and fit lots of people easily. The 2 free drinks was an extra bonus! Overall, we had a lovely night out and would highly recommend as a lovely night out on the water in Honolulu.

Makani Sunset Dinner Sailing Cruise (Waikiki)

Reviewed by: Brad

There really isn't any better way to see the Hawaiian sunset than cruising off Waikiki beach - with only the sound of wind whistling through the sails...great food and good conversations. The crew are very friendly - sharing their sailing experiences and interesting facts about the island and Pacific ocean. The captain is very personable and experienced (having raced large sailboats). He set the sails just right for a comfortable cruise and even allowed some to take a try at the helm. In addition to the great panoramic view of Waikiki and sunset we saw a sea turtle and whales. If we had more time on this trip we would do this sailing cruise again...and most definitely will the next time we're on Oahu.

A relaxing ride with a yummy, Asian style buffet.

Reviewed by: Aidan

Being on a quiet catamaran sailboat is a unique experience in comparison to a noisy motorboat. The buffet dish I like the most was the BBQ teriyaki chicken. The staff were experienced and friendly, starting off with a comical safety briefing and ending off with a friendly goodbye. The bartender was very knowledgeable about dealing with seasickness and different types of liqueurs. The drink special was a delicious tropical blend that fits perfectly with the environment. It was smooth sailing going out and back in, and we saw multiple whale spoutings in the distance. Listening to the relaxing music with the rhythmic movements of the ocean made a relaxing trip.

The scenery is beautiful, but I got seasick... 景色は綺麗ですが船酔いが・・・

Reviewed by: satomiii

After work, I headed straight to Hawaii with three friends. After arriving, we slept for about three hours and then participated in a cruise. Unfortunately, all three of us got severely seasick, and we couldn't enjoy the scenery at all.

Since you will be on the boat for quite a long time, I think it would be better to take your time to adjust your condition before participating, rather than going on the day you arrive. I also got the impression that there were hardly any Japanese people there.

仕事帰りその足で友人3人とハワイ旅行へ向かいました。
到着後３時間ほど寝て、こちらのクルーズに参加しました。
結果は３人とも激しく船酔いしてしまい、景色どころではなく終わってしまいました。

結構長い時間乗り続けることになるので、到着した日よりもゆっくりコンディションを整えてから参加されたほうが楽しめると思います。
日本人の方はほとんどいなかった印象です。

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

A day that I won't ever forget!

Reviewed by: Ms. Kitty

My friends and I were finally able to get together on Oahu, and we knew that we wanted to spend it out on the water. This cruise was the perfect choice since we got to snorkel at TWO spots (both filled with fish, coral, urchins, etc.), sipped on cocktails, devoured plates and plates of food, watched the sunset AND got to see whales! We literally couldn't ask for more!

After leaving the harbor, we headed out to the first snorkel spot and got the first glimpse of whales and after we got out of the water (which was really warm by the way), we saw even MORE whales!

The food was really hearty and filling (pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, a really tasty pasta salad, white rice, veggies and fruit) and the crew kept all of our drinks topped up :)

Really happy that we got to go on this cruise, and can't wait to go again on my next visit!

Had an amazing time!

Reviewed by: Ms. Ems

I had an amazing time! Cruise was fun! I've been to many dinner cruises on the island and the Navatek boat is indeed by far the smoothest ride I've ever been. We went during the Nagaoka Festival in Waikiki and the fireworks display was so outstanding, which made it more enjoyable and memorable for us!

The staff at the Ticket Desk were also very friendly. We got there 45-minutes early and Josh was very kind enough to answer the many questions I had while we were waiting. It wasn't their normal schedule that night and Josh was able to share their regular schedule with me, the transportation and check-in procedures, and wait times from boarding to departure.

As for the servers on the boat, they were okay but they could have been better! I would have preferred them to be more energetic and quicker. Our server that night seemed a little too tired and it also took us a while to get the drinks we ordered. Very good food though! The teriyaki garlic chicken was my favorite..yummmm!!!!

The Polynesian entertainment was good but I wish it was longer. They only performed three (3) different dances and that was it. The host and singer was also good, I like that she interact with the audience while singing but I wish she could have sang songs that are more familiar to the audience. I thought the songs were too old to be sung these days.

Something that I never expected though is the dancing at the end of the cruise! We danced the night away and that was so much fun! I loved it! I'm glad I took this trip as I didn't know this is also available at Navatek. I've always thought this to be more intimate, for couples celebrating their anniversaries or honeymooners who want a quiet and romantic moment but this can be for families or group of friends as well.

Thank you Navatek for allowing me and my family to enjoy your cruise!

We used this for a company trip with a total of 23 people. I think it was a great value cruise with a beautiful sunset and unlimited drinks. We were the only Japanese guests, and we enjoyed communicating with the international guests. However, a few people got seasick, which made for a tough time, and I regret that. I recommend that those who are prone to seasickness take some medication in advance.

It was a lot of fun to experience the boat trip with my friends. The boat was small and swayed a bit, but after having a cocktail, I felt energized. When I went out on deck, suddenly a whale appeared, surfacing multiple times and spouting water—it was a surprising and happy moment. We had a great view of Diamond Head, and the sunset was absolutely perfect for the mood. Just when I thought it was time to head back, the whale showed its tail several times, as if inviting us to come back to the waters of Hawaii. I plan to come again next year. The sunset cruise was amazing!

I participated with two female friends.

Even though I couldn't understand the words, I found myself laughing as everyone got excited. The sunset was beautiful! However, it was quite cold, and although there was an all-you-can-drink alcohol option, I couldn't drink that much. I realized that a thick hoodie is essential during this time of year.
