I was finally able to ride the catamaran that I've wanted to try for a long time. Most of the people around me were foreigners, and there was no Japanese spoken, but even with my limited language skills, I had a great time! The crew was really nice! There are free drinks available, but be careful not to drink too much since there are no restrooms. Overall, I felt amazing. I will definitely do this again!
以前から乗りたかったカタマランに初めて乗ることができました。周りは殆どが外国の方で、日本語は無でしたが、片言しか話せない私でも十分!!楽しめました。クルーもかなりの、nice guy!!!フリードリンクで飲み放題ですが、トイレはないので飲み過ぎに注意。取りあえず、気分は最高。また、リピートします!!

You can enjoy sailing until sunset in the best location. However, while we were surrounded by lively foreigners enjoying the party atmosphere with Mai Tais, our family, being quiet Japanese, couldn't quite get into the mood... But after disembarking, we had all been holding it in, so everyone headed straight to the restroom at the Sheraton Hotel.
最高のロケーションで夕日が沈むまでのセイリングを満喫できます。
ただ、マイタイを飲みながらパーティー気分でノリノリの外国人の中で、無口な日本人の私たち家族はずっと雰囲気に乗り切れないままでしたが・・でも下船後はトイレを我慢していたので、全員がシェラトンホテルのトイレに直行でした。

We participated as a couple. We enjoyed views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the nearby sea, and we witnessed the most beautiful sunset while sipping delicious Mai Tais! However, the experience before boarding and after disembarking was the worst. The meeting place was unclear, and it was hard to identify who the staff member was. There was no guidance even after the meeting time had passed. After guessing and asking around, we finally figured it out. The pre-boarding instructions were only in fast-paced English, making them almost impossible to understand. We were also forced to take photos before boarding. Upon disembarking, we were made to line up to buy those photos, and my wife, who needed to use the restroom, was left frustrated. The event itself was very enjoyable, but I think I would prefer a different yacht next time.
夫婦で参加しました。ワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを近くの海から眺め、また最高の日没を拝め、おいしいマイタイを頂戴しました!が、乗船前、下船後が最低でした。集合場所はあいまい。誰が担当者か分からず。集合時間が過ぎても案内がなく。見当をつけて声をかけてようやく判明。乗船前の説明は早口の英語のみでほとんど理解不能。乗船前には強制的に写真撮影。下船時にはその写真を売りつけるために並ばされ、トイレに行きたい家内は顔をシロクロ。イベントそのものはたいへん楽しいですが、次回は別のヨットにしたいと思います。

I really enjoyed the cruise. They started on time and I didn't have any issues confirming my seat through this website. I was on their list promptly. It lasts roughly two hours and the first 15 minutes generally consists of a safety briefing before everyone gets started. The crew was very informative and they allowed you to fully walk the boat as well as take pictures while you are stirring the boat. The sunset itself was beautiful and we happen to catch a few whales while out there. Overall it was well worth the experience. It's definitely a little pricy however if you are looking for a good cruise, this should definitely be something you consider.

We got a free shuttle bus from Waikiki but arrived in the harbor an hour earlier. I don't know why the driver pick us so early. We just stayed in the harbor and took pictures of us to kill the time. After we had done the tour, we needed to go back to the hotel by ourselves by using the city bus.
Hospitality, food, drink and music were all good! If you are lucky, you can see whales during winter. (We couldn't see them.) Besides that, the sunset was beautiful and hilarious.
We suggest that you had better to bring sweater, jacket or whatever you like to wear in December and January as it is chilly and windy. Overall, we highly recommend you join this tour if you have enough time in Waikiki. If you don't expect too much, then this cruise is for you. The ship was small but it was okay for us to enjoy having dinner and seeing the sunset.

It was windy and chilly because we joined this tour in the end of December. We thought Hawaii is hot even in winter but it wasn't. Early morning and evening was chilly. Jackets or sweaters are must! My dad felt bad as he wore short sleeves and short pants. I saw some people had sea sick. Some of them were lying on the chair and did nothing. One of the staffs take them and told them to breathe a fresh air. I realized staffs were considerate and generous. Besides, food was good. They had six dishes, which were teriyaki chicken, white rice, broccoli with beef, vegetable burritos, macaroni salad, and cookies. Everything was fine.I think teriyaki chicken was the best. Most of the dishes were cooked with vegetables so everybody can enjoy having dinner. However, the dinner would be better if all the food was hot until we started to eat.
Overall, We highly recommend you take long sleeves if you will join the cruise in winter. The sunset was beautiful and was the last time to see in 2014.(We're suppose to join the cruise on 30th but it was cancelled due to a bad weather. So, we did it the following day instead.) I guess all generations can enjoy this cruising!

Note that some people got motion sick since we had waves on the sea. Take warm jacket if you decide to watch sunset as it gets cold and windy after sunset.

Ocean Joy Snorkel & Sunset Dinner Cruise was worth every penny!!!! As Kamaaina, my husband and I enjoy participating in various so called "tourist" activities. Not everyone who lives in Hawaii has a boat...so activites that offer ocean fun is very appealing. The trip started with a very comfortable pick up and ride aboard a full sized air conditioned bus. The driver was even early for pick-up. Ocean Joy fulfilled our every need from the moment we arrived at the check-in location to the time we departed the boat. The staff were very attentive and informative. The food was plentiful and the bar was flowing. We experienced one of the best views of our local sunset and even got to see a whale breach off the side of the boat. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii and other "Locals" who are looking for new things to do.

My wife and I did this as part of our honeymoon. And even though it was a cloudy evening and we didn't get to see the sunset, we still really enjoyed the trip. The crew was very personable and friendly. And even in choppy seas, the ride was smooth and peaceful. Got to see Waikiki from a different perspective, being on the ocean, and all lit up at night. The food was good, but the only thing that I would change is that the food could have been warmer. Overall an enjoyable time and I would recommend.

This was my first time in Hawaii. I wanted to watch the sunset from the sea and debated between a dinner cruise, but I chose this one because it was reasonably priced.
As everyone mentioned, the meeting place was hard to find. I saw a JTB representative walking around at the Sheraton, so I called out to them for directions.
Feeling the wind and seeing Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from the sea was an entirely different view that excited me, and the sunset sinking into the horizon was beautiful.
We all burst into laughter when we saw a foreigner who was completely soaked after getting splashed while taking pictures with their iPad and smartphone. The atmosphere on the boat was fun, especially with some drinks involved.
初ハワイです。海からサンセットを眺めたくてディナークルージングと迷いましたが値段も手頃なこちらに参加しました。
皆さん書かれてる通り集合場所が分かり難かったです。シェラトンでJTBの人が歩いて居たので思わず声をかけて教えて貰いました。
風を感じて海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街はまた景色が全然違って興奮したし、水平線に沈む夕日も綺麗でした。
ネットの上でiPadやスマホで夢中に写真を撮っていた外国人が思いっきり水しぶきを被ってビショビショになった姿を見て皆で爆笑が起きたりと船上もお酒が入ってる事もあり楽しかったです。

The cloudy weather from the previous day was a lie, as we were greeted with a beautiful clear sky and a wonderful sunset. Just at the moment the sun was setting, the excited crew bounced the yacht too much, which caused some booing from those who were trying to capture the perfect photo or video, but I thought it was very American.
This time, there were many young Americans who were quite loud, and when a group of Chinese tourists passed by on their yacht, some unpleasant remarks were made about it not being an Asian sea, which was quite uncomfortable. However, there were also many solo participants, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
For drinks, we all toasted with Mai Tais, and when we asked the crew for refills, they brought out plenty of Mai Tais, beers, and colas. The stars from the ocean at night and the night view of Waikiki were also absolutely stunning. After the cruise, there was the usual photo sale, and I ended up purchasing one because the view of Diamond Head in the background was beautiful!
前日までの曇天が嘘のように快晴でとても素晴らしいサンセットでした。
丁度夕日が沈む瞬間に、興奮したクルーがヨットをバウンドさせすぎたので、せっかくのシャッターチャンスやビデオを撮影していた人たちからブーイングになりましたが、アメリカっぽいと思いました。
今回は若いアメリカ人が多くとても騒がしくて、近くを中国人グループのヨットが通った時にアジアの海じゃないなどとの差別用語が飛び交ってかなり不愉快なこともありましたが、一人参加の人も多くて気軽な感じでした。
ドリンクは、全員でマイタイで乾杯し、お変りはマイタイやビール、コーラなどクルーに確認するとたくさん出てきます。
夜の海からの星や、ワイキキの夜景もとても素晴らしかったです。
クルーズの後で、お決まりの写真販売がありましたが、背面に移ったダイアモンドヘッドがきれいだったので購入してしまいました!

The reception area can be a bit hard to find, so it might be a good idea to check it out in advance. At the reception, you just hand over your voucher, so it's easy.
When boarding, you'll be wading in water up to your knees, so be mindful of your clothing, and you'll need to take off your shoes to get on. Also, it gets chilly after sunset, so wearing long sleeves is helpful.
The boat does sway a little, but the breeze feels nice and the scenery is beautiful, so I didn't feel seasick. It was a bit disappointing that there were more clouds on the day, but overall, I was very satisfied.
少し受付の場所は分かりにくいので、先に確認しておく方がいいかもです。受付ではバウチャーを渡すだけなので楽。
乗船の時に膝くらいまで浸かるので服装に注意、靴も脱いで乗り込みます。あと、日が暮れてからは冷えるので長袖が役に立ちます。
船は少し揺れますが、風が気持ちいいことと景色が綺麗で酔うことはありませんでした。当日は少し雲が多かったのが残念でしたが、大満足です。

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, and I couldn't help but think how wonderful it would have been to have a clear sunset. I don't speak Japanese at all, but everyone was friendly and kind, and the Mai Tai was very delicious.
When boarding the boat, you will get soaked up to your knees, and it can get surprisingly cold, so a towel and a sturdy windbreaker are essential.
当日は残念ながら曇りだったので、はっきりしたサンセットだったらどんなに素晴らしいだろうと思いました。日本語は全く通じませんが、皆さんフレンドリーで優しく、マイタイもとても美味しかったです。
船に乗り込む際にひざ下までおもいっきり濡れることと、意外なほど冷え込むので、タオルと、しっかりした風よけの上着は必須です。

This sunset dinner and snorkel sail was excellent! The catamaran was very spacious with plenty of space to walk around and two spacious clean bathrooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and the photographer was exceptional! The food for dinner was also very good! After being in Hawaii for four days already and snorkeling each day, I am so glad I took with snorkel tour since it was by far the best snorkeling with beautiful reefs and sea life, and the photographer came into the water and took underwater photos of us! A jump drive with all the photos cost $40 and was well worth it! Of note do take some motion sickness medicine, you are on a boat! Overall I would highly recommend this trip to any one who wants to see great corral and beautiful sea life!

I have previously watched the sunset with a meal on a large cruise ship filled with Japanese people, but this catamaran is on a completely different level!! You can feel the Hawaiian air and breeze to the fullest, and drinks like cocktails are all-you-can-drink. You can freely walk around the ship while enjoying cocktails, and there were not many Japanese people, which was quite moving. If you're hungry, it's a good idea to bring snacks. I highly recommend it!
