Oahu
This sunset cruise is recommended for those who want to spend a romantic evening as well as for those who want to enjoy a lively time with friends. Most participants are foreigners, and the staff are cheerful sea men. With loud music playing, those who have had a few drinks create a lively atmosphere with dancing and singing.
The cruise starts while the sun is still high and lively, but as it turns back, the sun gradually sets, completely changing the scenery. I believe you'll get to see a wonderful sunset and create lovely memories.
このサンセットクルーズはロマンチックな夕暮れを過ごしたい方にも仲間とにぎやかに過ごしたい方にもおすすめです。
というのも参加者の大方は外国人で、スタッフも陽気な海の男たちです。大音量で音楽をかけて酔いがまわった人たちはダンスや歌ににぎやかな雰囲気でした。
スタート開始はまだ日が高くにぎやかにスタートしますが、引き返すころにはだんだんと日が落ちてきてすっかり風景も変わってきます。素晴らしいサンセットが見れて素敵な思い出になると思います。
It was quite the fun experience. From the Captain, to the first mate, to the bartender, they were all quite entertaining and they managed to make a relaxing time very much quite enjoyable. I went with my wife and we managed to get some beautiful pictures taken of this experience. The sun sets as you are sailing along the beautiful view of Waikiki and Diamond head.
I highly recommend this event for anyone who likes to just get away from it all for an evening. To top it all off, it also comes with a meal and two drinks so you have your evening off to a great start!
very nice boat, super staff. A little disappointed in the amount of sea life seen, which was very little.
My wife and I thought this cruise was the highlight of our trip to Oahu. This made my 3rd visit to the island (my wife's 1st) and we both were amazed with this activity. We were fortunate to see whales and a dolphin in the bay! The crew was outstanding. A true value for your money.
What a great experience! From when we entered the Atlantis boat until we got off, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We sat near the window, ate great food, enjoyed whale watching (saw many) and enjoyed the entertainment. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a great evening.
We are repeat visitors to Navatek. The entertainment is far superior to any other dinner cruise ship. These people really can sing and play their instruments very well. The singers are awesome. They don't just do a typical luau type show, they also sing a wide variety of music for listening or dancing. I told one of the singers that she is every bit as good or better than any of those American Idol people! We had a great time! The dancers are beautiful. The crew was very friendly and down to earth.
I've been on all the other dinner cruise ships as I am a repeat visitor to Hawaii. We don't have an ocean where I live, so I always want to experience it when I'm there. All the other cruise ships(Alii Kai, Star of Honolulu and Starlet)were horrible. Nothing can beat the smooth ride on Navatek and the unobstructed views of the sunset that Navatek offers. I believe I have heard that no other dinner cruise ship goes past Diamond Head to Kahala and beyond -- and I believe it. Every time I've
It was really great. On the opposite side of the orange sun setting, I could see the pure white full moon rising. On the yacht, it felt like a party with unlimited drinks and lively music as the background. It wasn't the romantic experience I had imagined; instead, it was a more aggressive atmosphere where we drank, made noise, and shouted towards the sunset. It was a fun sailing experience.
とてもよかったです。オレンジな太陽が沈む反対側では真白な満月が昇るのが見えました。ヨットの上では飲み放題でノリノリな音楽をBGMにパーティーをしている感じ。想像していたようなロマンチックなものではなく、もっとアグレッシブに飲んで騒いで夕陽にむかって叫ぶような、たのしいセーリングです。
Was an excellent sail watching the lights of Honolulu and the fireworks - it's beautiful and I recommend it to any couple.
Only bad points were that they could provide a little more food for everyone and they missed us for pickup even though we were waiting at the designated spot well before the specified time but with many other tours departing that spot it can get hard to find people I guess.
Thanks guys!
I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii, but unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, which made me quite down. However, once we cut the engine and started sailing, I felt the pleasant breeze while swaying with the waves, and my mood lifted.
After sunset, you can enjoy the night view of Waikiki from the sea. Watching Diamond Head as it darkens and the lights of the hotel district floating in the night sky was moving, especially since I wasn't expecting it!
There were about 40 participants, and I was the only Japanese person. There were parts of the announcements with jokes in English that I couldn't follow, but the staff were friendly and reached out to me, which left a good impression. Even if you don't understand English, it won't be a big problem, and it's perfectly fine to just relax while enjoying free drinks, so I think anyone can have a good time in any situation.
ハワイ到着日に参加しましたが、あいにくの曇り空でかなり気落ちしていました。ところが動力を切って帆走を始めると、波に揺れながら気持ちよい風を受けて気分も盛り上がってきました。
そして日が暮れてからは、ワイキキの夜景を海側から楽しむことができます。ダイヤモンドヘッドが暮れてゆく様子や、ホテル街のライトが夜空に浮かぶ光景は、期待していなかっただけに感動的でした!
40名ほどの参加者で日本人は僕だけでした。英語でのジョークまじりのアナウンスについていけない部分もありましたが、スタッフも声をかけてくれたりと印象はよかったです。英語がわからなくても大きな支障はないし、フリーのお酒を飲みながらただぼんやりしているだけでもOKなので、どんなシチュエーションでも楽しめると思います。
The Captain & Crew of the Makani make the experience worthwhile. Wonderful, geniune people who truly love sharing the waters of Hawaii with you. A enjoyable morning surrounded by caring people. Highly recommend!
Really loved the cruise! Lots of laughs and fun! Beautiful views.
The sunset sail was very beautiful, but the bartending needs some improvement.
We had a wonderful time. The food was great and the sunset breathtaking
Make sure to get their signature shaker cup with the signature drink-Outrigger Cocktail! Sail was awesome and beautiful with the sunset!
I participated w/ a bunch of friends, and it was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. We've never been on a sailing boat, and we absolutely LOVED it. Their original Mai Tai was the best. We had a great time onboard. Thanks!
I took my girlfriend to the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was very romantic and fun. We booked the Royal Package, so we were taken to the upstairs which was much better than standard in the downstairs (i think!). The foods were great, and we couldn't even finish the three (3) drink tickets we received. The guy who was singing and playing the guitar for us that night was fantastic. The boat itself was pretty stable, and even though I was worried that I would get seasick, neither of us did. :)
For the foods, drinks, entertainment we got, I would recommend this cruise to anyone! Our server, Jenn, was very pleasant as well.
Great food, a great staff, and a beautiful boat. What you would expect from a non-private romantic dinner cruise. Got the 5 drinks per person included but didn't have time to finish all the drinks. Window seat was nice but doesn't allow for the best view of the dancers and performers on the stage . I would definitely recommend it as for the price you get everything expected.
a very enjoyable night
As experienced travelers have mentioned, we were the only Japanese people on board. It was the best cruising experience amidst the English conversations. You can choose from drinks like special punch and beer, and the staff were happy to take photos for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the ocean and the sunset over the sea. The only downside was that the lively background music was old pop songs. After all, Hawaii should have Hawaiian music! For those who will participate, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. The return to Waikiki after the sunset might be a bit tough.
経験者のコメント通り、日本人は私たちだけ。英語が飛び交う中、最高のクルージングでした。飲み物も、特製のパンチやビールが選べますし、カメラのシャッターもスタッフが快く押してくれました。沖から眺めるワイキキも、海に沈むサンセットも満喫しました。残念だったのは賑やかにかかるBGMが古いポップスだったこと。やっぱハワイはハワイアンでしょ!これから参加する方はやはり乗り物酔い止めの薬を飲むことをお勧めします。サンセットのあと、ワイキキに戻るまでがちょっと辛いかもです。
Wow!!! The guys were great, drinks were awesome and the music was perfect. The perfect party boat. Thanks guys, I'll see you again next year.

i really don't have anything to say but i enjoyed it
I participated in a tour on July 3rd. Since the tour location was the beach in front of the Outrigger Reef Hotel, I leisurely walked to the designated spot in the morning!
First, we each signed in before boarding the catamaran!
Most of the participants were foreigners, which really lifted my spirits!
We first headed out to the waters off Waikiki for snorkeling! The blue of the ocean is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what you see at Waikiki Beach! However, I thought there were no fish... but when the crew fed them, suddenly there were fish!!! But only black fish... There were no coral fish or anything like that. The black fish were very timid and would swim away if you got too close...
Since it was a morning catamaran tour, snorkeling early in the day was a bit chilly for us Japanese, so we got out of the water early. Compared to that, the Americans were amazing!!
After snorkeling, the catamaran set sail towards Waikiki! As we sped towards Waikiki, when the boat hit the waves, we were at the front and got splashed all over, getting completely soaked! It was quite fun!!
On the way back, we turned off the engine, and it really felt like a "catamaran cruise."
Also, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication before boarding the catamaran! My mother, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling sick (^_^;).
7月3日にツアーに参加しました。ツアー場所がアウトリガーリーフホテル前のビーチということで、朝のんびりと散歩がてら指定場所に向かいました!!
最初に、一人一人署名をしてからカタマランに乗りました!!
ツアーに参加してる方はほとんど外国の方ばかりなので、気分も上々!!
まずワイキキ沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリング!!海の青さはワイキキビーチと比べものにならないくらい綺麗ですよ!でも、魚がいない・・・と思ったらクルーがえさをあげたら、いつの間にか魚が!!!でも黒い魚のみ・・・コーラルフィッシュなどはいませんでした。。。その黒い魚はとても臆病で近寄ると逃げちゃうんですよ・・・
朝のカタマランツアーなので、早くからのシュノーケリング・・・私たち日本人にはちょっと寒くて早めに海から上がりました。それに比べアメリカ人はすごいね!!
シュノーケリング後、カタマランはワイキキ沖へとセーリング!!ワイキキ沖に向かってスピードを出すので、船と波がぶつかると、前のほうにいた私たちはビッシャンビッシャンとしぶきが飛んできて、ずぶ濡れでした!!それが面白かったですよ!!
帰りはエンジンを切って、これぞ「カタマランクルーズ」ってなかんじでした。
また、カタマランに乗る前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいですよ!普段乗り物酔いしない母が酔いましたから(^_^;)
We had a great time on the Navatek. Met some really nice people. The problem was we were right in front of the entertainer's and some in the group complained the volume of the entertainment was too loud. Of course you really couldn't carry on a conversation during dinner because the entertainment was a bit loud! The service was great, the food fantasic, just the entertainment a bit too loud.
Had a really good time on the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise! The ride was real smooth and the dinner was good. I'll be making another trip aboard the Navatek when I return to Oahu!
The catamaran ride was great. The staff was very entertaining and made sure we had a good time. The fire works show was pointless. However, I still recommend the catamaran ride itself.
It was a great experience. I look forward to doing it again.
We had a great time! We opted for the sit down dinner to get window seats for 4. The dinner was more food than we could eat which was served course by course beginning with cocktails and skewered shrimp, followed by a salad, lobster, and lastly steak and vegetables. They time the meal so that you are finished in time to watch the sunset. There is a small deck outside that only holds about 20; so keep an eye on the time and leave your table early to secure a spot on the deck to watch the sunset. After the sunset return to your table to enjoy the entertainment and dessert. Overall this was a great experience.
I enjoyed it when the speed was high in the first half, but in the second half, it became more relaxed, which felt nice, but I almost dozed off. It was easy to participate and I had a great time.
前半のスピードが出ていたときは楽しめましたが、後半はのんびりしてしまい気持ちよいのですが、うとうとしてしまうくらいでした。
気軽に参加できて楽しめました。
Cruising on the Makani Catamaran on the Friday Night Fireworks Sail was a breathtaking experience!
After departing from Kewalo Basin, the crew quickly set up the sails so the vessel could glide through the water purely on wind power. It was amazing to stand on the bow of the catamaran, with just the sound of the ocean and the breeze in my ears. Normally there is that incessant growl of an engine when you are on a boat, but not on the Makani!
The crew members catered to the guests wonderfully and were always available to take photos, clean up the inevitably drink spill or answer any questions that we had. There were also some very yummy pupus on board, like chicken wraps, spring rolls, pasta salad and some cookies for anyone with a sweet tooth. Rather than being confined to a table, and being served by waiters, guests are free to snack and walk meander around the catamaran as they please. Oh! I mustn't forget the drinks?the bartenders whip up some very yummy cocktails! The recomm
This past weekend my kids and I went on the Makani Catamaran Sailing Adventure and we had a great time. As soon as we got on board my kids were so excited. The crew of the boat gave a brief safety tutorial and as soon as they were done we were headed for sea. There was food for everyone and a bar to purchase drinks. It was such an adventure especially if you like the sun, the wind, and the waves. My kids joined some of the other guests on the net that was located at the front of the Makani, loving the cool splashes of the water as we picked up speed, while being able to see right under where they sat. The crew was so polite and friendly always checking to make sure that everyone is alright. I would definitely recommend this tour to you if you like the relaxing yet adventurous activities while being able to view the beautiful scenery of the water and land of Oahu.
