I have to say that this dinner cruise will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only was the view beautiful, the agenda was entertaining, and I was actually proposed to on this cruise! Thank you for a spectacular evening that added to a wonderful occasion for us. The atmosphere could not have been better!

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.

My fiancée took me to the 5-Star on our last evening in Hawaii and it was the perfect end to a wonderful vacation. From the moment the limo picked us up from the hotel to the time we were dropped off, the customer service was INCREDIBLE. I am so glad that he decided to book the 5-Star since the other decks looked pretty crowded and definitely not as intimate as the Super Nova Deck.
We got the Couple's Plan upgrade and we got window seating, a bottle of champagne and this great photo of us on this pretty leather cover. The maître d' and the waiters provided incredible service and the whole atmosphere was very upscale and refined.
The dinner was very scrumptious and I loved how there were many different dishes served throughout the evening. Also, I had been on other dinner cruises where they bombard you with annoyingly LOUD touristy Hawaiian music, but with the 5-Star, it was soothing jazz and I LOVED IT!
This is the PERFECT romantic dinner cruise!!!

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.

I participated with my mother and husband on September 16, 2007. I was worried because I had read in past experiences that the meeting place was hard to find, but I found it right away.
I've been to Hawaii quite a few times, but it was my first time seeing Waikiki from the ocean, and it was very refreshing and truly beautiful. The main sunset was also wonderful, and it was a moment where I could forget the busy days in Japan.
On that day, there were only about 12 guests in total, including the five groups, and we were the only three Japanese people, which made it feel relaxed and homey, which was even better.
The conversations with the crew and other passengers, as well as the simple orientation that takes place right after boarding (like how to handle a situation if you fall into the sea and introductions of the crew), are all in English, so it might be a bit tough for those who can't speak at all.
2007年9月16日に母親と主人と3人で参加しました。
過去の体験談で集合場所が分かりにくいと書いてあったので
心配したのですが、すぐに分かりました。
ハワイにはかなり行っていますが、
沖からワイキキを見るのは初めてだったので
とても新鮮で本当にキレイでした。メインの
サンセットも素晴らしくて、忙しい日本での毎日を
忘れられるひと時でした。
当日は、私たちを含めて5組計12人くらいのお客さんしか
おらず(日本人は我々3人のみ)、ゆったりとアットホームな感じだったのも更に良かったです。
乗組員、他の乗客との会話はもちろん、乗船後すぐに
行われる簡単なオリエンテーション
(万が一、海に落ちた場合にどう対処すべきかとか
乗組員の紹介など)は全て英語なので、全く話せない
方は少し辛いかもしれませんね。

We went on our honeymoon. I thought it was wonderful that we could see fireworks from the ship, so I made a reservation. However, we were very hungry as soon as we got on the ship and started eating a lot of spring rolls, and about 15 minutes after departure, my husband started to feel seasick... What was supposed to be a lovely fireworks cruise turned into me taking care of him as he felt unwell and cold. For those who are going, I recommend bringing seasickness medication and a jacket! With those, I believe it will definitely become a wonderful memory.
新婚旅行でいっていきました。船の上から花火が見れるなんてとっても素敵だと思い予約しました。
ところがお腹がとてもすいていた私たちは、船に乗るなり春巻きなどをたくさん食べていたところ、出発して15分程で旦那が酔い始めてしまいました・・・。せっかくの素敵な花火クルーズのはずが、辛そうで寒がる彼の介護におわれました。これから行く方はぜひ酔い止め薬と上着をお持ちの上、ご参加されると良いかと思います!それさえあればとっても素敵な思い出になるに違いないと思います。

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。

There’s no experience quite like sailing on the dark waters of Oahu after sunset! I took your advice and brought a jacket. That was a great decision! At first, it was so warm that I thought I wouldn’t need it, but it got cold at night. For adult couples, it’s lovely to chat on the slowly moving boat. There was quite a bit of time before the fireworks, so I found myself eagerly waiting… Before the fireworks, they turned off the boat's lights, which felt quite mysterious. It was surprising how hard it was to see other boats, almost like Captain Jack Sparrow had appeared! The crew was friendly. The netting was scarier than I expected, so no one really wanted to go on it… but once you’re on, it feels amazing! I was careful not to lose my flip-flops, but it was definitely worth it to sit down! Lying back and relaxing, my husband seemed satisfied while enjoying a drink and smoking a cigarette. The fireworks were beautiful too! And the moment they unfurled the sails was incredibly cool!
日が沈んでからの暗いオアフの海上を走るなんて経験はこれ以外ないでしょう!アドバイスどおり上着をもっていきましたよ。大正解!初めは暑いくらいで上着いらなかったなーっておもったら夜は寒い。おとなのカップルならゆっくりと進む船の上で語り合うのも素敵ですよ。花火が上がるまでかなり時間があるので、まだかまだかと首が長くなりましたが・・花火前には船の電気を消すのでまた不思議な感じ。ジャックスパロウ出てきたかと思うくらい他の船も見えにくくなっててっびっくり クルーの方はフレンドリーですね。あみ網の上は思った以上に怖くてみんな乗らなかったけど・・乗っちゃえばすごく気持ちイーよっビーサンが落ちないように気を使ったけど 気持ちいいよっ絶対座ってみるべき!ねころがったりしてみたりっ旦那は御酒を飲みながらタバコがすえたので満足そうでした。花火も綺麗に見えましたよ!あとっあの船の帆を出すときがたまらなくかっこよい!

I have taken several sunset dinner cruises in the past, but I was getting a bit bored with the early dinners and the lively hula and live performances. However, I couldn't miss the tradition of watching the sunset from the sea on the last day, so I found this activity while searching. As mentioned in the reviews, besides our family, there was only one other couple from Japan.
The light snacks served for dinner were first come, first served, including wrap rolls, small Vietnamese spring rolls, and pound cake for dessert. However, since there was an unlimited amount relative to the number of people, our family, who wasn't very hungry, leisurely enjoyed the scenery and ended up missing out, getting only one piece of wrap roll each. However, we were all very satisfied with this cruise, which allowed us to directly feel the Hawaiian breeze on the yacht's deck, rather than eating a not-so-tasty lobster and steak dinner on a cruise. Since it was Friday night, we were also able to see the regular Hilton fireworks from the sea. The crew was all friendly and it was wonderful. I recommend this for Hawaii repeaters. We boarded on August 31, but it gets chilly at night, so a light jacket is necessary. Next time, I want to enjoy a daytime sailing.
今まで数あるサンセットディナークルーズに乗船しましたが、いずれも早めの夕食にフラやライブの盛り上げで、少々飽きていました。でも、最終日の夕日は海から・・の習慣をどうしてもはずせなく、探していたらこのアクティビティを見つけました。書き込みの通り我々ファミリーの他は日本人があと1組のカップルのみでした。
夕食として出る軽食は早い者勝ちで、ラップロールや小さなベトナム春巻き、デザートにパウンドケーキが出ていましたが、人数分の割りに取り放題になっているので、お腹が空いていなかったのでのんびり風景を眺めていた我家族は取り損ね、ラップロールを一切れずつになってしまいました。しかし、おいしくもないロブスター&ステーキのディナーをうやうやしく食べるクルーズより、直接HAWAIIの風をヨットのデッキで受けるこのクルーズに家族全員大満足です。金曜日の夜だったので恒例のヒルトンの花火も海上から見る事ができました。クルーが皆フレンドリーで最高でした。HAWAIIリピーターにお薦めです。8月31日の乗船でしたが、夜は冷えます。上に羽織る物が必要でした。今度は昼のセイリングを楽しみたいです。

The clear blue sky and intense sunlight made for a refreshing experience as the catamaran dynamically raced through the waters of Hawaii! The high speed was incomparable to a large ship's dinner cruise, and we sped through the high waves without a care! It's amazing that we're moving just with the sails!
Viewing Waikiki Beach from the sea and seeing Diamond Head from the back offered new discoveries. I got to experience the differently shaped Diamond Head as well.
The captain and crew were quite handsome! They didn't pay much attention to the guests, but it felt refreshingly foreign. There were only about two groups of Japanese guests, with mostly Westerners on board.
For those who are sensitive to the boat, I think it's best to enjoy the sea on the deck first, avoiding the sun and not eating beforehand, and then enjoy drinks after getting used to it.
A big wave suddenly hit us, soaking us from head to toe, but I was fine since I was wearing quick-drying clothes.
In the second half, we were thrilled to encounter a pod of dolphins. It's incredible how they swim alongside the boat! I participated in a tour where I swam with dolphins in the sea, but it was too fast to see them well. The catamaran was so fast that the dolphins desperately kept up with us, almost playing with us. I had a blast with a Latin family. I want to ride again!
On the way back, we had a leisurely shopping and dining experience at the Ward Center right in front of the port, making for a fulfilling day.
抜けるような青い空、強烈な日差し中、ハワイの海をダイナミックに駆け抜けるカタマラン号は爽快そのもの!
大型船のディナークルーズとは比べものにならないほどのハイスピードで高波もなんのその!どんどん駆け抜けていきました。これが帆だけで進んでるんだから風ってすごい!
ワイキキビーチを海から眺め、ダイヤモンドヘッドを裏側から見ると新たな発見。形の違うダイヤモンドヘッドも体験できました。
キャプテンもクルー達も男前!お客をろくに構ってくれないけど結構サッパリした感じで外国って感じで良かった。お客さんも日本人は2組くらいで殆んど欧米かって感じ。
ただ船に弱い人は、日差しを避けて日陰にいたり、食事を先にとったりしないで、まずは甲板で海を楽しんで、馴れた後に飲物を楽しんだりすればいいと思いました。
大きな波が突然来て頭から被っちゃいましたが、乾きやすい服装だったのでOKでした。
後半にイルカの群れに逢えて感動。イルカってあんなに船に並走するんですね。イルカと海の中で一緒に泳ぐツアーにも参加したけど速くてよく見れなかった。その点カタマラン号はすごく速いから、イルカも必死でついて来るって言うか、じゃれてきた。ラテン系の家族と一緒に大はしゃぎでした。また乗りたいです。
帰りは、ポートの目の前のワードセンターでゆっくり買い物して食事もできるので、充実した一日になりました。

We participated as a couple. This was our third time in Hawaii and our first time sailing. About 80% of the participants were foreigners. The sunset was somewhat cloudy, but it was refreshing to sail with the wind. We enjoyed the night view of downtown Honolulu from the sea, and the fireworks were beautiful. The meal was just light snacks. It's advisable to prepare motion sickness medication and a jacket. Overall, it's more of an activity with an adult atmosphere.
夫婦で参加しました。ハワイは3度目で、セーリングは初めて。周りは外国人が8割ぐらいでした。やや雲の多いサンセットでしたが、風に乗って走るのは爽快でした。ホノルル市街の夜景を海から眺め、花火もきれいでした。食事は軽食程度です。酔い止め、上着は準備しておいたほうがよいです。どちらかというと、大人向けの雰囲気のあるアクティビティです。

Since it was a sunset sailing on Friday, I was supposed to see fireworks, but we drifted in the best position for over 20 minutes past the scheduled launch time, and ultimately, the fireworks for that day were canceled. It wasn't the fault of the Makani, but due to the Hilton's circumstances, so I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to it.
Additionally, I had to wait nearly 30 minutes for the pickup. I became worried and inquired several times. The inquiries were only handled in English, so it might be difficult for those who are not good at English. It might be better to take a taxi to the pickup point by yourself.
The staff on the Makani were friendly, which was nice. About 20% of the passengers were Japanese.
金曜日のサンセットセーリングだったので、花火を見られるはずが…打ち上げ予定時間から20分以上、ベストポジションで漂流していましたが、結局その日の花火は中止ということでした。ヒルトン側の都合で、マカニ号の責任ではないのですが、楽しみにしていたので、とても残念でした。
また、ピックアップは、30分近く待たされました。心配になり、何度か問い合わせをしました。問い合わせは、英語のみの対応なので、英語が苦手な方は難しいです。自分でタクシーで乗り場まで行った方がよいかもしれません。
マカニ号のスタッフは、フレンドリーでよかったです。乗客も、日本人は2割くらいでした。

I decided to participate in watching the Hilton fireworks from a boat on Friday. We walked from Ala Moana to the meeting point, which was just under 2 km (about 20 minutes), so I think it would be better for those who are not confident in their physical fitness, have small children, or are elderly to take a taxi. The ticket booth is in a yellow building right next to Fisherman's Wharf.
While walking in Waikiki, I thought, "Is this Japan?" because there were so many Japanese people, but as the reviews said, there were actually few Japanese, and about 70% were foreigners. Naturally, there was no explanation in Japanese from the crew.
Once we set sail and headed out to sea from Waikiki, the sunset was incredibly beautiful. It was a breathtaking sight. However, after the sun went down, it became quite challenging. It was cool... or rather, cold!!! Even though I was wearing a hoodie, I got so cold that I neglected the beautiful night view of Waikiki and ended up retreating to the cabin. The captain was also wearing a fleece and windbreaker partway through, and some foreign women were wearing knit cardigans. I recommend preparing for the cold!
We didn't particularly mind the rocking of the boat, but if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. There were indeed some people who got seasick.
Despite everything I've written, the most disappointing part was that there were no fireworks, which were supposed to be the main event. While that can't be helped, there was no explanation about it during the trip, and at the end, we only heard, "I'm sorry we couldn't show you the fireworks today." I thought there could have been a bit more explanation. On the other hand, if you are fluent in English, you could have asked for the reason.
Overall, it's a good activity to enjoy the atmosphere, but you definitely need to prepare for the cold, have anti-nausea medication, and have a bit of language skills!
金曜日のヒルトンの花火を船上で見ようと思い参加しました。
私たちはアラモアナから歩いて集合場所まで行きましたが、

キャビンに引きこもってしまいました。
キャプテンも途中からフリース&ウィンドブレーカーを

着ている方もいました(Θ щ Θ)
防寒対策をしていくことをオススメします!
船のゆれも私たちは特に気になりませんでしたが、
乗り物に弱い方は酔い止め必須です。
やっぱり船酔いしてる方もいました。
なんだかんだ書き込みさせて頂きましたが、
何より残念だったのはメインの筈の花火がなかったことです。
それは仕方のないことですが、
その説明が途中一切無く、
最後降り際に「今日は花火が見せられずに申し訳ない」と
一言あっただけでした。
もう少し説明があっても良さそうだなと思いました。

総じて雰囲気を楽しむには良いアクティビティですが、
寒さ対策と酔い止め、若干の語学力は必須です!

On the day of the event, due to issues with the fireworks contractor from Hilton, the fireworks display was unexpectedly canceled. I believe that both the guests aboard the Makani and those who planned to watch from within Hilton were disappointed.
We conducted a confirmation process with Hilton just before departure, so it seems that this was an unforeseen circumstance on their part as well.
This was the first time we encountered such a situation since the launch of the Makani cruise, and we would like to consider how to address this in the future.

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

Seeing the fireworks from the boat was my first experience, and it was amazing. It was truly a prime seat. The sunset was also incredibly beautiful.
While my husband and I were taking pictures of each other, people around us were friendly and engaged, which added to the pleasant atmosphere on the boat. Additionally, we were lucky enough to see dolphins along the way!
However, there were way too many people! There were so many that not everyone could find a seat (we had to sit by the stairs because there were no seats available), which felt a bit overcrowded. I also heard that they provided safety instructions in Japanese, but perhaps due to the crowd, that didn't happen. I understood most of what was being said, so I was fine, but those who can't speak Japanese might feel a bit anxious.
It might have been because it was a Friday, but I think it would have been perfect if there were fewer people. The boat sways quite a bit, so it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
船上から見る花火は初体験だったので、すごく良かったです。正に特等席でした☆夕日もすごくキレイでした。

We participated as a family of four. I was worried about the lack of transportation, so I confirmed the departure location the day before, which allowed us to leave our accommodation with some extra time on the day of the event. The staff mostly did not speak Japanese, and there were few other Japanese passengers, but there were many families participating, and we had a great time. The pastries served for breakfast were especially delicious, and the kids even asked for seconds.
家族4人で参加しました。送迎が無いのが心配で、前日に出航の場所を確認したので、当日はある程度余裕をもって宿泊先を出ることができました。

The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.

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 confirmed with Hilton just before departure, so it seems that this was an unforeseen circumstance on their part as well.
This was the first time we encountered such a situation since the start of the Makani cruises, and we would like to consider how to address this in the future.
Sincerely,
The Makani Staff Representative
御利用有難うございます。
当日はヒルトン側の花火業者の問題で、花火の打ち上げが急遽キャンセルとなりました。マカニ号に乗船の御客様および、ヒルトン内でご覧の予定だったお客様も残念な思いをされたことと思います。
出航直前にヒルトンとは確認作業を行っておりますので、今回はヒルトン側も不慮の出来事だったようです。
マカニ号のクルーズをはじめて以来、はじめてのケースでしたので、今後は対応を検討させていただきたいと思っております。
