All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Although the sky was unfortunately cloudy, I was wondering how it would turn out, but we were able to have a great time with cheerful music and at a speed that didn't make us dizzy. We could see Diamond Head very closely, and the night view of the buildings was also very beautiful. I'm very satisfied!

あいにくの曇り空となりどうかなと思っていたけれど陽気な音楽と酔わない程度のスピードで楽しく盛り上がることができました。ダイヤモンドヘッドがとても近くから見ることができ、ビルの夜景もとても綺麗でした。大満足です！

I had booked the submarine early, so after much deliberation, I signed up for the sunset cruise two days before departure... and it was a great decision! The staff were excellent at getting everyone excited, and the atmosphere, filled with English and Spanish speakers, was enjoyable since there were few Japanese people.

I didn't drink much, but the young foreigners in the group were drinking a lot and having a great time, which made me excited just watching them.

The view from the yacht was amazing, and the high-speed cruise had me thrilled regardless of my age (laughs). My husband was also very satisfied with the different colors of the sea compared to the beach and Diamond Head. I would love to join again when I go with friends.

サブマリンを早々と予約していたのでサンセットクルーズを悩んだ末、出発2日前に申し込みました。。。大正解！
スタッフの盛り上げ方が上手で日本人が少なく、英語やスペイン語があふれる雰囲気も楽しかったです。
私はあまり飲まなかったけれど、グループ参加の外国の若い方たちは大いに飲み盛り上がり、見ているだけでこちらまでわくわくしました。

ヨットからの眺めは最高で　スピードを上げてのクルーズは自分の年を省みず大興奮（笑）
夫もビーチからとは違う海の色やダイヤモンドヘッドに大満足でした。
友人と行くときにもまた参加したいです

I enjoyed a longer sailing time than I expected. The captain and the crew were cheerful, taking the boat slowly at times and speeding it up at others... I had a great time.

思ったよりも長いセーリング時間で堪能できました。
キャプテンも船員の方も陽気な方で、船をゆっくり運転したり飛ばしてくれたり…
とっても楽しめました。

For those considering an easy marine activity, you can enjoy 90 minutes of sailing off the coast of Waikiki with your children. The boat is new, and the staff is friendly. It was unfortunate that we were the only Japanese guests on a fully booked day.

Departure and return are from Waikiki Beach, making access excellent. Wearing swimwear is recommended, but just make sure to wear something that can get wet. The danger level is extremely low. There are no issues with participation for seniors. Both my wife and I qualified for the senior discount. Once you experience it, you might become addicted. You'll definitely want to recommend it to others. Not understanding English is not a problem at all. Mahalo.

手軽なマリーンactivityをお考えの方お子様連れの方、90分ワイキキ沖のsailing楽しめます。　　船も新しい、stuffもfriendly。　当日満席、日本人は我々だけだったのが残念。

出航、帰着がワイキキビーチからなのでアクセス抜群。　swim wear着用が望ましいが、とりあえず濡れてもいい格好で乗船すること。　　危険度は極めて低い。　爺、婆の参加問題なし。我々夫婦共にsenior discount 対象。　
一度体験すると病み付きになりそう。　きっと他人にも薦めたくなる。　英語分からなくても全然問題なし。　mahalo　　　　　

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

Very smooth ride, we had a blast! Would do it again

I wanted to enjoy activities at the beach and have fun drinking!

I decided to participate because it seemed like they could accommodate those requests. I heard from other comments that there were hardly any Japanese people, but during my time, there were about three other groups.

I don't understand the language at all, but the atmosphere is nice.

It feels like only the Japanese are enjoying the all-you-can-drink option. The other foreigners were taking orders.

But even though it was a short time, it was quite fulfilling.

- The view of Diamond Head in the daylight
- The sight of numerous yachts floating on the sea
- The view of Honolulu from the ocean
- A wonderful sunset
- Diamond Head glowing in the sunset light

Additionally, it was quite windy on the yacht, so I brought something to wear. Just when I started to feel a bit tipsy, my friend's shirt flew away!!

It got blown away by the wind and disappeared into the sea...

Oh no (laughs).

Well, since we had some drinks, we laughed about it, and it became a fun memory.

Everyone, please be careful not to lose anything in the sea!

海でのアクティビティも楽しみたいし
お酒も楽しく飲みたい！

そんな要望を答えてくれそうだったから
参加しました。
他の人のコメントでは、日本人がほとんどいないと
聞いていたけど、私の時は、他に３組ほどいました。

言葉は全然分からないけど、雰囲気は良いです。

日本人だけ飲み放題な感じです。
他の外国人の人たちは、注文とってたし。



でも短時間なのに、かなり充実していました。

？明るいうちのダイヤモンドヘッド
？海に浮く数々のヨットの景色
？海から見るホノルルの景色
？ステキな夕日
？夕日に照らされて燃えるようなダイヤモンドヘッド


その他に、
ヨットの上は風が強いから羽織るものを持っていきました。
そしたら酔いもほろほろになってきたころ
友達のシャツが！！

風に飛ばされて海の彼方に消えていきました・・・

あ～あ（笑）

まっ、お酒も入っているから
笑っちゃって、楽しい思い出になっています。


皆さんも海に落し物が無いよう
気をつけてください。

The day I participated was mostly cloudy, and unfortunately, the sunset was hidden behind the clouds. However, I was deeply moved when the sun briefly showed its face.

I also went on a snorkeling tour during the daytime cruise, but the night view of Waikiki was so beautiful that I recommend the sunset cruise if you have to choose one.

I had trouble finding the restroom, but if you ask the staff, they will guide you. There is a lever at the entrance to flush the toilet. It was cleaner than I expected.

I think it's the best activity you can easily join from Waikiki!

参加した日は一日曇りがちでしたが、サンセットも残念ながら太陽がかくれていました。なので一瞬顔を見せた夕日に感動ひとしおでした。

昼間のクルージングもシュノーケリングツアーで乗りましたが、ワイキキの夜景がとてもきれいだったので、どちらか乗るならサンセットがおすすめです。

トイレがわからなくて困りましたが、スタッフに声をかければ案内してくれます。水を流すのは入口のところにレバーがあります。思ったより清潔でした。

ワイキキから気軽に参加できる最高のアクティビティだと思います！

We took a dinner cruise on the last night to celebrate my parents' 60th birthday and wedding anniversary.

First, we were welcomed with a welcome drink, ukulele music, and hula dancing as we boarded the ship. The staff's service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese.

During the vow renewal, the captain acted as the officiant, offering congratulatory words and reciting the vows of love. We brought leis in advance and exchanged them with my parents. It was a wonderful experience to reaffirm their love and support for each other.

After us, a young foreign couple also had a vow renewal ceremony. Following that, we enjoyed champagne while taking photos with the captain and our family. The sunset was incredibly romantic.

The food was average, but the champagne included in the package, as well as the cocktails and non-alcoholic cocktails available with coupons, were very Hawaiian and delicious. The jazz performance was lovely as well.

It might be a good idea to take something for motion sickness. We used a limousine for transportation. Since we don't usually ride in limousines in Japan, it was a great experience.

Although the price is a bit high, it was perfect for the celebration, and my parents were very happy.

両親の還暦祝いと結婚記念日祝いの為、最終日の夜にディナークルーズを利用させていただきました。
まずウェルカムドリンクとウクレレ、フラダンスに迎えられ、船に乗り込みます。
スタッフのサービスも良かったです。日本語が出来るスタッフもいました。
バウリニューアルでは、キャプテンが結婚式の神父様の役割をしてくださり、お祝いの言葉と、愛の誓いを言ってくれます。
レイは事前に用意して行き、両親に交換してもらいました。これからも愛し合い、助け合って行くことを再認識できるので、とても良かったと思います。
私たちの後に、若い外国の方がバウリニューアルしていました。
その後シャンパンを飲みながらキャプテンと家族で写真を撮ってもらえます。
サンセットはとてもロマンチックでした。
料理は普通でしたが、パックについていたシャンパンや、クーポンで飲むことが出来るカクテル、ノンアルコールカクテルがハワイらしく、味もとても美味しかったです。
ジャズ演奏もステキでした。
乗り物酔いは飲んだほうが良いかもしれません。
送迎はリムジンを利用しました。日本では乗ることがないので、良い体験ができました。
少し料金は高くなりますが、お祝いにはぴったりです。両親にとても喜んでもらえました。

had a great time on the cruise. food was great. the view was awsome. the staff was great. loved the entertainment. you are treated very well.

Ship was clean, sailing was fun. The food was not especailly great (except the cream puffs--defrosted frozen, love them!), and I was surprised that the alcohol was not good quality and the beer was limited to two types. We just sailed back and forth for about 1 1/2 hours off the coast of Waikiki, saw fireworks that lasted about 10 mins, and couldn't see them well unless you were on the front of the boat (and not everyone could fit up there. The crew were polite but not very interactive. Wouldn't do it again.

It was a trip with three middle-aged men. Last time, we spent our time playing golf on a trip that was postponed for a year due to 9/11. This time, one of the companions, who is from a certain prestigious yacht club, expressed a desire to go sailing, so I searched online.

Fortunately, we managed to book the fireworks for Friday. We parked the rental car in the parking area and arrived at the yacht harbor in just three minutes on foot. While looking for the ticket booth, I found two Hawaiian girls at the far end inside the booth. When I asked them in my broken English, it turned out to be a lucky coincidence. I wish they had provided a bit more information in the instructions.

Before departure, I took a picture of the sunset. Other participants included only us Japanese and a newlywed couple. The rest were about twenty Americans. The explanations were in English and were quite brief.

We set sail and navigated around Waikiki and Kahala. The view from the sea was breathtaking. I had an unpleasant memory of being swept away while windsurfing off Kahala when I was younger. We spent time until the fireworks with beer and light snacks, which were quite nice. I was surprised by the strength of the Hawaiian girl crew when they raised the sails.

We went back and forth in the bay until the fireworks, and everyone was in a state of "Are the fireworks really going to happen?" Gradually, as they lowered the sails and we were just floating around, the fireworks went off with a bang. I expected Japanese fireworks, but the fireworks off the coast of Hawaii were quite impressive as well. The older Americans danced to the music.

It lasted about ten minutes. I highly recommend it. As stated, a windbreaker is essential. We, the middle-aged men, were satisfied and headed back home.

A wonderful experience from start to finish.

From the moment you board, as a couple, family, or with friends, you truly
relax and unwind with fantastic crew, hospitality and the most amazing scenery you could possible wish for.

Certainly a must to do do whilst in Waikiki.

Initially, I was scheduled to board on the second day of my stay, but unfortunately, the second and third days were booked for a private group, so I boarded two days before my return. I had checked the weather forecast for the latter half of my stay and found that the weather was not looking good, so it wasn't a cloudless sunset as predicted, but with some clouds, I was able to enjoy the changing colors of the clouds.

Most of the passengers were foreigners (I was also a foreigner in Hawaii!), primarily Americans, with only one other Japanese couple on board. Although Japanese was not spoken, I didn't feel inconvenienced during the approximately one-and-a-half-hour cruise while listening to Hawaiian music.

Since it was a catamaran, I expected less rocking, but unfortunately, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so it rocked quite a bit. My wife is not fond of boats, but she took motion sickness medication, so she was fine. The kids were thrilled.

I have also been on the Hilton's submarine, so there wasn't anything new for me to see from the boat looking at Waikiki, but those who are boarding for the first time will likely enjoy it.

Two drink tickets were distributed for alcohol, allowing for beer or champagne. Junk food and teriyaki chicken were served, but since this is a cocktail cruise, don't expect much in terms of food. If you get a good sunset, it will be fantastic!

当初は、滞在2日目に乗船予定でしたが、あいにく団体貸切に2日目、3日目がとられてしまい帰国2日前に乗船しました。天気予報で滞在後半、天気が芳しくないことを調べていたので、予報通り雲の無いサンセットではありませんでしたが、そこそこ雲があると雲の色の変化も楽しめます。
ほとんどが外人（私もHAWAIIでは外人！！）アメリカ人で日本人はもう1カップルのみでした。
日本語は通じませんが、Hawaiiannを聞きながら約1時間半のクルーズには不便を感じませんでした。
双胴船なので揺れが少ないはずでしたが、あいにく風が強く波も高かったので、結構揺れました。妻は船が苦手でしたが酔い止めb薬を飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。
子供は大喜びでした。
小生は、ヒルトンのサブマリンも乗船しているので、船から見るWAIKIKIに目新しさはありませんでしたが、初めて乗られる方はには喜ばれるでしょう。
アルコールは２杯までただのチケットが配られ、ビールやシャンパンが飲めます。ジャンクフードとチキンの照り焼き風が出ましたが、カクテルクルーズなので料理は期待しないでください。
良いサンセットにあたるとサイコーでしょう！！

We bought tickets from the site in Australia and thought we were getting a "Sunset/fireworks cruise" however when we got there we were on a moonlight cruise. (Which is the one we wanted. I think your site needs to clarify the differnece in the two tours a bit better. The sunset cruise went out at 5.00 and the one we were on was 6.30. Having said that we were placed on the right one as we wanted to see the fireworks which were fantasic.
The staff were amazing and we had a very memorable time. I would highly recommend this activity to all but just get clarification as to what cruise you actually want to be on.
D&D, Melbourne Australia. October 2012

I attended on October 30th, and the weather was great that day, making me feel very rich.

I definitely want to participate again next time.

It's perfect for couples!

10月30日に参加しましたが、当日は天気も良くとってもリッチな気分になれました。

ぜひ、次回も参加したいと思います。

ｶｯﾌﾟﾙには最高～

I had my first sailing experience in Hawaii this time! At first, I was a bit anxious because everyone on board, except for us, was a foreigner, but once we set sail, it didn't matter at all. The breeze felt amazing, and we even got to see a sea turtle along the way! Drinking a beer on the catamaran was exceptional. Next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to participate in a sunset sailing.

今回ハワイで人生初のセーリング体験をしました！初めはクルーも乗船客も私たち以外みんな外人で不安でしたが、いざ出航したらそんなことはまったく関係なかったです。かぜが本当に気持ちよくて、途中海ガメも見ることができました！カタマランの上で飲むビールは格別です。またハワイに行く際は、ぜひサンセットセーリングに参加してみたいです。

Amazing sunset and smooth ride! Loved the net seat!

I felt the pleasant Hawaiian breeze, and the cruise was very enjoyable. On this day, the ship hardly swayed, making for a comfortable cruise. The cocktails served were also delicious. While listening to upbeat music, I was able to see a very beautiful sunset, which was the best part.

As for precautions, I think it was important to stay inside the red lines of the hammock once we were out at sea and to avoid sitting in the areas painted blue. I felt the cheerful spirit of the Americans. Bringing snacks along is also fun.

心地の良いハワイの風を感じながら、クルーズは、とっても気持ちよかったです。
この日は、船はほとんど揺れず快適なクルーズでした。出された、カクテルも美味しかったです。
乗りの良い音楽を聴きながら、とても美しい夕日をみることができて、最高でした。
注意事項は、恐らく沖に出たらハンモックの赤いラインの内側にいること、ブルーに塗ってある場所に座らないことだったと思います。
アメリカ人の方が底抜けの陽気さを感じました。
お菓子なんかを持って行くのも楽しいです。

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience

If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.

Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you

Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

This Catamaran outting was definitely worth the price for anyone. My wife and I enjoyed the staff courtesy during the whole trip. They provide all you can drink choices which was great during the beautiful sunset ride. They played nice music from beginning to end which was relaxing. The Sunset is beautiful from out in the water coasting along. I would definitely go on this ride again when visiting here.

Food was very good. Took the cruise on Friday and saw fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Village which were spectacular. Also, took the city lights tour which was spectacular as well.

I felt安心 with the Japanese-speaking staff. Additionally, snorkeling was a valuable experience, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle. What surprised me the most was how delicious the food served on the boat was when we were all hungry after snorkeling. Overall, it was a tour that was packed with value.

日本語スタッフで安心でした。また、シュノーケリングも貴重な体験で、ウミガメも運良く見れました。何より意外だったのが、シュノーケリング後のお腹ペコペコな時に出された船上での料理が凄く美味しかったです。全体的にボリューム満点なツアーでした。

This was my fourth time in Hawaii. In the past three visits, I participated in sunset cruises with dinner, but this time I wanted to try a different cruise, so I chose this one. It turned out to be a great decision. There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. In Waikiki, which is usually filled with Japanese tourists, this cruise offers a taste of foreign charm. Unlimited Mai Tais and the views were fantastic! The homey atmosphere where everyone starts dancing to the music is something you can't easily experience in Japan! The small boat does sway quite a bit, but that adds to the thrill! I definitely want to participate again next time.

4回目のハワイ。過去3回、ディナー付のサンセットクルーズに参加していましたが、いつもと違うクルーズがしたいと思い、こちらを選択。結果、大正解でした。私たちのほかに日本人グループは１組だけ。日本人だらけのワイキキにあって、このクルーズは外国情緒を味わえます。マイタイ飲み放題、景色も最高！みんな音楽に合わせて踊りだすアットホームな雰囲気は日本ではなかなか味わえません！小さい船だから結構揺れますが、それもスリリング！次回からも参加したいと思います。

We had an absolutely terrific time. The staff was great!

Departing from Waikiki on a yacht was fantastic! We went quite far out to sea. It was relaxing to enjoy drinks while watching the sunset, and the view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the ocean was really great. I didn't get seasick, and I enjoyed four glasses of wine and cocktails, which made for a wonderful experience. We did various activities, but this was the most memorable and I highly recommend it.

ヨットでワイキキを出発！
結構沖まで出ました。
サンセットまでお酒を飲みながらのんびりできるし
海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチは
かなり良かったです。
船も酔わないしワインとカクテルを４杯のんで
かなり満喫しました。
いろいろアクティビティしましたが、一番印象深くオススメです。

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

Confused about where to meet at the location at first and boat was about 15 minutes late so we were kind of worried if we were in the correct place.
Cruise and staff were awesome.
Mai tai's did not have much alcohol.

My 2 oldest daughters and I recently took the morning trip and we had a wonderful time.
The staff (Chris & ?...sorry) were fun, energetic, informative & all around great.
We had fun, laughter, conversation, information & those yummy shaker drinks Chris served up. The whole trip made my oldest daughters 1st visit to Hawaii very worth while...a definite "do again" trip.
The following pictures are just a glimpse of the fun morning we had despite the yucky weather beforehand.

Cheers,
Vivian, Jessica & Mary

We had fun, didn't expect this to be a drinking cruise with a bunch of your party goers, but it was fun.
