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。

Having made all the arrangements online, I was a bit nervous because this was my wife's 50th birthday celebration and we had 23 family members in attendance. The boat, food, service and ambiance were beyond my expectations! I would highly recommend this Sunset Dinner Cruise.
Great job to all those at Hawaiian Activities that had anything to do with helping me to put on such a great celebration for my wife and family.
Best regards!

Had a great show and good food.
I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!

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.

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。

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

The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. 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 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.
