All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We had a fantastic time. The crew were outstanding, very friendly and made the trip a lot of fun. They were approachable and took time to answer any questions we had.
Pretty close to being the highlight of our trip.
Would definitely do it again.

The drinks, sunset, and atmosphere were all amazing! We gathered at the beach adjacent to the hotel at 5 PM, and although we had to wait for about 30 minutes, the meeting spot was easy to find, and we could play on the beach during the wait, so it wasn't a problem at all. Once we got on the boat, even though I'm not very good at English, the staff crew and the other international guests were very friendly, and I felt a sense of unity! When I mentioned I was Japanese, the staff handed me explanations and the drink menu written in Japanese, which I appreciated. I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii!

お酒もサンセットも雰囲気も最高でした！
夕方１７時にホテルに隣接したビーチに集合し、約３０分ほど待機時間がありましたが、集合場所もわかりやすかったし、待ち時間はビーチで遊んでも大丈夫なので、特に問題ありませんでした。
船に乗ってからは私はあまり英語が得意ではないのですが、スタッフクルーや同乗した異国の方がとてもフレンドリーで、一体感を味わえました！
日本人だと伝えると、スタッフの方が日本語で書かれた説明やお酒のメニューなどを渡してくれて、その気遣いも嬉しかったです。
またハワイに来た時も絶対に参加したいです！

I used the service in December. It was cloudy on the day, and it started to drizzle partway through, making it very, very cold. After reading the voucher carefully, I realized it mentioned bringing warm clothing, so it was our fault for not reading it well.

It was disappointing that we couldn't see the sunset beautifully, but I was able to feel cheerful and had a lot of fun. Drinking a Mai Tai while shivering on the boat is also a good memory. (laughs) If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to have a revenge experience!

12月に利用しました。当日は曇り＆途中から小雨が降ってきてしまい、とてもとても寒かったです。バウチャーをよく読んだら、持ち物に防寒具とかって書いてあったので、よく読まなかった自分たちが悪いのです。
サンセットは綺麗に見えずに残念でしたが、陽気な気分になれて楽しかったです。船上で震えながらマイタイを飲んだのも良い思い出。（笑）
またハワイに行く機会があったら、リベンジしたいなーと思います！

The weather wasn't great and it was cold, but it was good that it didn't rain. I was happy to see whales a few times!

天気が良くなくて寒かったですが、雨は降らなかったので良かった。
クジラは数回見れて良かったです！

I participated this time on the recommendation of my boss. As I had heard, most of the people on board were foreigners, which made me a bit anxious at first. However, the Mai Tai I had on the boat was exquisite, and the scenery was so beautiful that I found myself thoroughly enjoying the experience. I think it's quite a bargain for such a fun time at this price. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate once more.

上司からの勧めで今回参加しました。
噂に聞いていた通り乗っているのは外国の方ばかりで最初は少し不安でしたが、船で飲むマイタイは絶品で、見える景色もとても綺麗で気づいたらすっかり楽しんでいました。
こんなに楽しくてこの値段はかなりお得だと思います。次回もハワイに行く機会がありましたら参加したいと思います。

My wife and I went on the Sunset Dinner Cruise on the Star of Honolulu to celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary. This was one of the things we had scheduled in advance of our trip to Oahu, because we had heard nothing but good things about the cruise. They did not disappoint. From our meet and great with the captain to the final departure from the ship, everything was first class. The entire crew was extremely friendly and very accommodating. Our server, Germese, could not have been any nicer and very attentive. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We also enjoyed the live entertainment during and after dinner. It did start to rain as we were heading back to the dock, but the crew took very good care of us and walked us out to our transportation with umbrellas. Would definitely cruise again if we get back to Waikiki. We would certainly recommend the Star of Honolulu to anyone who wants to be treated perfectly. Aloha!

On our last night in Hawaii, we wanted to create some memories, so we signed up for this. We had a specific place in mind for dinner, so we were looking for a plan that only included the cruise, and this one was perfect. The weather was great, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. The staff was cheerful, and the atmosphere on the boat was warm. They kept making drinks for us right up until we arrived at the port, making for a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations.

ハワイ最後の夜、何か思い出にと思って申し込み。
ディナーは別に行きたいところがあり、クルーズだけのところを探していたのでぴったりなプランでした。
天気も良く、素敵な夕日を見ることができました。
スタッフの方も陽気で船内は暖かい雰囲気。
港に着く寸前までお酒を作って頂き、期待以上の素敵な時間でした。

I would absolutely recommend this excursion! My husband and I had the best time. Breathtaking scenery, the staff was fun and made the whole experience enjoyable! If you have the opportunity, book this now!

This tour is安心できる with no rocking of the boat. The best seats are on the right side facing the direction of travel. Although it is stated that the meal is a light snack, it turned out to be a buffet, so you can eat as much as you want. One drink is included, and if it's a soft drink, you can enjoy unlimited refills.

船は揺れもなく安心できるツアーです。
座る席は進行方向に向いて右側が最高です。食事も軽食とは書いてありますが
バイキングになっているので食べ放題でした。
１ドリンクは付いていますがソフトドリンクであれば飲み放題です。

The catamaran sunset cruise was amazing! Unlimited Mai Tais! The sunset was also fantastic! I want to go again!

カタマランのサンセットクルーズ最高でした！マイタイ飲み放題！サンセットも最高でした！また行きたいです！

Last time, it was a wonderful sailing experience, so this time I brought my elderly mother and aunt along. It seems like they both really enjoyed it, which is great!!! I plan to repeat it again...

前回、とても素敵なセーリングだったので　今回、年配の母と叔母を連れて
行きました。2人とも大変楽しんでくれたみたいで良かったです！！！
又　リピート予定です。。。

Best cruise!! So much fun, great lads creating such a great atmosphere, definitely one of our highlights of Waikiki! We were lucky enough to see whales also! I highly recommend this sunset cruise to anyone who wants to party and meet like minded fun seeking folks!!

It was amazing.
I even saw whales.
With a little help from alcohol, I made friends with foreigners.
The sunset was the best.
The scenery and sense of openness were completely better than the cruise.
I will definitely use it again.

最高でした。
クジラもみえました。
お酒の力も借りて外国の方とも仲良くなりました。
サンセット最高でした。
クルーズよりも景色と開放感は完全に上でした。
また必ず利用します。

Nice ride, kind staff. No whales. There was a promise to have a free new cruise if whales were not spotted, but I did not see the lady, who had to organise that. So, bit disappointing all in all

Not only was it pleasant to be on the boat, but the warm guidance and welcome from the staff made me feel at ease, making it the most enjoyable experience of my trip.

船に乗ることが気持ちいいだけでなく、スタッフの皆さんの暖かい案内とお迎えが安心できて、旅の中で一番楽しい体験となりました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but since it's nature, that's understandable. I think it would be amazing if we could see them. Even without seeing whales, you can still enjoy the cruising experience. I definitely recommend bringing binoculars!

残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたが、自然相手なのでそこは仕方ありません。見れたら最高だと思いますよ。クジラが見れなくてもクルージング気分は味わえます。是非、双眼鏡を持参する事をお奨めします！

The weather wasn't very good, and we couldn't see the sunset. The boat was rocking, and many people got seasick.

天気があまり良くなく、サンセットは見れませんでした。船が揺れてしまって、船酔いする人が多かったです。

I was disappointed. The waves were high, and many people on the boat got seasick. We didn't see any whales either. I don't recommend this for those who are prone to seasickness.

ガッカリでした。波が高くて船に乗って居られた沢山の方か船酔いをされてました。
鯨も見れませんでした。船酔いの弱い方にはオススメしません。

We had a great time on the sunset cruise, we got some awesome photos, met really cool people and did something we wouldn't normally do!
Only tips I would give is to go to the toilet first (the one on board is cramped and it can get bumpy, so more room for unlimited drinks) and make sure you check the meeting location carefully first because there's 2 Outrigger hotels and that confused us alot.

I was struggling to find a birthday gift for my husband which coincidentally falls on Valentine’s Day. As we were traveling to Oahu the next week form Australia I purchased 2 tickets for the Sunset Cocktail Cruise online, printed them and put them in his birthday card. WOW! What a great success that was, we had a wonderful time.
Weather was perfect, service and cocktail supply was 4 star and I would recommend this Cruise to all. The captain and his mate were attentive and entertaining, we were lucky enough to see whales in their natural habitat along with the magical sunset we were promised.
This was my 8th trip to Waikiki but I had never been on this Catamaran Cruise previously. We would definitely go again.
It was so easy to purchase online, prepay and print the receipt it made the perfect gift from the other side of the Pacific. Mahalo.

There was absolutely no Japanese guide, and I could only understand a little of what was being said, but that doesn't really matter. Even without words, it's okay. When everyone sang the birthday song for the cute girl, it was the best.

日本語ガイドなんて一切なく、なーにいってるのか、ちょっとしかわからなかったけど、そんなこの、どうでもいい。言葉なくても、大丈夫。かわいい女の子のお誕生日のお歌を全員で歌ったときは、最高でした。

We were very fortunate, we had a lovely sunny day and we saw 3 or 4 whales. The crew were very helpful.The buffet meal was of good variety, tasty food and people were able to return as many times as they wanted. With regard to the whales, as stated in the tour blurbs there are rules about how close the boat can get to the whales because of this and how fast they breach and disappear I would suggest putting the camera aside and fully enjoying the experience with your own eyes, which is quite a thrill.

I was surprised to see a bus accident on the way, but I'm glad it was a minor one. I enjoyed the cruise!

行く途中でバス同士の事故があったりでびっくりしましたが、小さい事故で良かった。
クルーズは楽しめました！

We participated as a family of three (with a 6-year-old son). There are many reviews mentioning a high percentage of Westerners, but due to the timing, there were also a lot of Asians participating. The Mai Tais they served were very delicious. When our cups were empty, they would ask if we wanted a refill, and the staff's response was great. Each person also received a bag of snacks. We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset was beautiful. If we go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate again.

家族3人（息子6歳）で参加しました。欧米人率が高いという口コミが多いですが、時期もあってアジア人もたくさん参加していました。配られるマイタイがとても美味しかったです。コップが空になっているとお代わりを聞いてくれたり、スタッフの方の対応もいいです。スナックも一人一袋もらえます。天気に恵まれサンセットも綺麗でした。またハワイに行くことがあれば参加したいです。

the food was normal, but lots of activity on board that you can participate. quite a great experience.

The sunset was really beautiful.

However, when getting on and off, your clothes get wet! You have to be prepared to get into the water up to your knees, or it can be quite a hassle... My 5-year-old son fell into the sea when getting off and got completely soaked! He was rescued by a staff member! There are no restrooms, so be careful not to drink too much! They make sure to leave only after sunset, so you can definitely enjoy the sunset.

とっても夕日はきれいでした

ただ、乗り降りするとき、服がぬれる！
膝ぐらいまでは海に入るのを覚悟でいかないと大変…
5歳の息子は降りる時、海にはまり、びしょびしょ！お兄さんに救助されてました！
トイレはないので飲み過ぎ注意！
ちゃんと、日の入後しか帰らないのでバッチリサンセットは見れます

I was disappointed to only see a glimpse of the whale's back. I participated with breakfast included, but there was a limited variety of ingredients.

鯨の背中が少し見えただけで残念でした。
朝食付きで参加しましたが食材のレパートリーが少なかったです。

Unfortunately, we encountered a day of heavy rain. Many people got off the shuttle bus from the hotel without umbrellas and boarded the boat. The air conditioning was strong, and we were shivering in our wet clothes. They temporarily turned off the air conditioning after seeing us, but it was soon turned back on. The sea outside was also rough, making it quite challenging.

As for the whales, there was an announcement about their direction, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any and received replacement tickets. My friend who got seasick probably won't go again! (laughs) However, I think the tour itself isn't bad, as weather and whale sightings are a matter of luck.

あいにくの大雨の日に当たってしまいました。ホテルから送迎バスを降りて、傘を持ってなかった人も多くて船に乗り込みました。
冷房が強くて、濡れた服を着た私達は震えてました。その様子を見て一旦冷房を止めてくれたのですが、すぐに再開。外の海も荒れていたので、なかなか辛かったです。
肝心の鯨は、何時の方向にいるとアナウンスが入るのですが、残念ながら見られずに振替チケットをもらいました。
船酔いした友達はもう行く事はないかな？（笑）
でも、天気も鯨も運なので、ツアー自体は悪くないと思います。

Since I participated during the rainy season, it couldn't be helped, but it was cold and difficult due to the rain. A raincoat or parka is absolutely necessary.

However, the captain and staff were very considerate, and the Mai Tai we had on board was delicious. They also generously served champagne. It was tasty.

On the way back, we were lucky to see the sunset from the western horizon. It was moving. I definitely want to participate again when the weather is nice.

雨季の時期に参加をしたので仕方がないですが雨で寒く大変でした。
カッパやパーカーは絶対に必要です。

ただ、船長は始めスタッフに皆さんの気遣いや船上で飲むマイタイは旨いです。シャンパンも大判振る舞いで出してくれました。
美味しかったですよ。
帰りがけに西の水平線からサンセットがラッキーに見えました。
感動しました。
また天気の良い時に是非参加したいですね。

Considering the winter activities, how was it? I participated knowing that visibility might be limited, but I was really disappointed because I could only see a small glimpse of the whales far away, and it wasn't clear enough to capture a photo. Although the whales were hard to see, I thought it might not be a bad tour if I considered it as a walk on the boat.

冬ならではのアクティビティのわりには、いかがなものでしょうか。
見えない場合もあるのは承知の上、参加しましたが、
本当に遠くに小さく、一瞬見えただけで、とても写真におさめることもできず、肉眼ではっきりみえたわけでもないので、がっかりですね。
ホエールは見えにくかったけれど、船の船上散歩と考えれば、悪くないツアーかな？？？と思いました。
