All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

This is a great option for those that get sea sick! The boat was very smooth! Brandon our waiter was fantastic, and was a good laugh. Would recommend and go again

It was quite fun to be out at sea and feel the speed while sailing with the wind. I was able to see Diamond Head from offshore.

沖合に出てから風で走っているときのスピードが結構速く楽しかった。ダイヤモンドヘッドを沖合から見る事が出来た。

I board the cruise every time to enjoy the last sunset in Hawaii.

Usually, the calm waters of Waikiki are a delight, but this time the waves and wind were unusually strong, causing the boat to sway a bit. However, it was still an enjoyable cruise.

There were many people surfing off Waikiki, riding the big waves that reminded me of the North Shore. I also had plenty of Mai Tais.

The sunset was more beautiful than usual, and I was able to see various rays of sunlight. Although it wasn't a green flash, it was stunning enough to be etched in my memory.

Every time, I whisper to myself that I will come back to see it again, and I enjoyed the last sunset in Hawaii. The cruise staff was wonderful too! I will definitely use this service again.

毎回、ハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しむために、乗船します。
いつもは穏やかなワイキキの海が、珍しく波が強く風も強く、やや船は揺れましたが、それはそれで楽しいクルーズでした。
ワイキキ沖でサーフィンを楽しむ人たちが多く、ノースを思わせるような大きな波に楽しそうに乗っていました。
マイタイもまたまた、たくさんいただきました。
サンセットも、いつも以上にきれいに見え、太陽の様々な光を見ることができました。グリーンフラッシュとはいかずとも、目に焼き付くような美しさでした。
毎回、また見に来るね~と、心でつぶやいてハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しみました。
クルーズスタッフも素敵でした！！
また、必ず利用します。

We were the only Japanese people. When we arrived at the location, the small boat was completely different from what I had imagined. And there was a restaurant that looked like a ruin right next to it. At first, I felt really anxious. Is this okay? Is this the right place? But after completing the procedures, it seemed to be correct. Despite my worries, we started!!

The boat allowed us to feel the waves and wind, which was really pleasant! Since there were no other Japanese people, it really felt like we were overseas! It was a fun experience that you definitely can't have on a two or three-story boat. It was like an adventure! We were also able to see the fireworks clearly, which made me very satisfied. It was an incredibly casual night cruise with a great sense of openness. I'm very satisfied!

日本人は私たちのみ。現地に到着するとイメージしていた船とは全く異なる小さな船が。そして廃墟のようなレストランがすぐそばに。最初とっっっても不安になりました。これは、大丈夫か？と。合ってるの？
と。でも手続きをしたら合っている模様。不安になりながらもスタート！！
波と風を感じられる船でとっても気持ちが良い！日本人がいないので海外にきてるなー！という感じ。二階建てや三階建ての船では絶対に体験できない楽しさ。まるでadventure！花火もしっかりと見ることができ大満足。開放感抜群のカジュアルすぎるナイトクルーズ。満足です！

For some reason, we were checked for ID, and since we didn't have our passports, we couldn't drink alcohol. It completely defeats the purpose of participating in a cocktail cruise if we can't drink. Moreover, the other participants weren't checked for ID, and it seems to depend on the crew's discretion, which is just unacceptable!

なぜかIDチェックをされて、パスポートを持っていなかった私たちはアルコール類を飲む事が出来ませんでした。カクテルクルーズなのに飲めないのでは参加した意味が全くありません。
また、周りの参加者にはIDチェックはしておらず、船員のさじ加減次第で決められてしまうなんてあり得ない！！

The activity is about an hour and being such a wide vessel motion sickness is not an issue. The shoreline was amazing and the fireworks were nice. It is petty much what you'd expect being on a catamaran.

The dinner was amazing, the filet was cooked perfectly and the crab legs kept on coming. We got a complimentary mai tai that was actually a very good drink (not that pre-mixed yucky stuff) and also ordered the $40 bottle of champagne. When dinner was finished, they put on a Polynesian show within the cabin that was loads of fun. Unfortunately the sunset was blocked by cloud cover but the show made up for it. The waitress was fantastic and the room supervisor was very attentive. Would definitely do this again! An additional note: they took the usual souvenir photo and charged $27 which we thought was way over the top...but it was framed beautifully (book-bound style) and ended up being the best photo of our entire honeymoon!! Worth every penny!

I went with my girlfriend. I was expecting a large ship for the cruise, but I was surprised it was smaller. However, this small size actually made it easier to communicate with the foreign guests around us. We had an amazing time! The Mai Tais on the boat were delicious, and I had about five of them. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and seeing the rainbow near Diamond Head was very soothing. Initially, I was worried about the weather, but it held up, and we were able to end our last day in Hawaii on a high note! I highly recommend it! 😊

彼女と行きました。クルーズということで、大きい船を予想していましたが、小さめでびっくり。
でもこの小ささが、周りの外国の方とのコミュニケーションが弾む結果に。めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！船で飲むマイタイはおいしく、5杯くらい頂きました。
もちろんサンセットも綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッド近くにできた虹を見て、とても癒されました。
当初天気が心配されましたが、なんとか持ち堪えてくれて、ハワイ最終日を最高な気分で終えることができました！！
オススメです(^ ^)

We participated as a couple. This sunset cruise offers unlimited drinks, and they serve Mai Tais as cocktails. The boat initially uses the engine to head out to sea, but once we are offshore, it sails solely with the sails. Since it was dusk, we enjoyed a very cool breeze, which was refreshing. I felt so good that I ended up drinking several Mai Tais. We were able to see the sunset clearly, and it was an unforgettable cruise experience.

夫婦で参加しました。このサンセットクルーズでは飲み物が飲み放題。カクテルはマイタイを出してくれます。船は最初エンジンを使って沖に出ていきますが、沖に出た後は、帆だけで海原を疾走します。夕暮れ時なので、大変涼しい風にあたれ、気分が爽快になります。私はあまりの気分の良さにマイタイを何杯も飲んでしまいました。
日が沈むところもしっかりと見え、これ以上ないクルーズが楽しめました。

Participated on the first day in Honolulu. It's perfect for feeling the essence of Hawaii.

Viewing Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea while enjoying a Mai Tai with the waves and wind is the best. I put my sandals and bag in the boat's storage box and boarded barefoot.

The front of the boat has a net, and the splashes of water are quite thrilling and enjoyable. You can move freely between seats, and it's also free to stand and feel the wind. Surrounded by foreigners, you really feel like you've come to Hawaii. This is definitely one of the activities I want to repeat next time.

ホノルル初日に参加。ハワイを感じるのに最適です。
ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海から眺め、波と風を感じながらマイタイって最高です。サンダルとバッグは船の収納ボックスに入れ、裸足で乗り込みます。
船の前方はネットが張ってあり、水しぶきがけっこう迫力があり楽しめます。席は自由に移動でき、立って風を感じるのも自由。周りは外人さんばかりでハワイに来たーと実感できます。次回もリピートしたいアクティビティのひとつです。

This was our first booked activity and it was amazing. Our captain was the best and the sunset was gorgeous. A relaxing, fun, and beautiful sail at sunset. The perfect introduction to Hawaii.

This was the most romantic experience.. Will do again at 50 year anniversary...

So happy I selected this cruise! Our flight was delayed getting to Oahu on our scheduled sail day and Island Magic was able to accomodate us by rescheduling us for the next day! On first meeting, crew was friendly and professional! The drinks flowed as promised and Chris, the drink captain was attentive and entertaining!
I only wished they served some vodka on board! But I was ok with the white wine served! Beautiful sunset, great views, awesome time!! Hope to have time to do it again before we leave!!

Food ia not that good!! The dinner tables are not that gate

A fun relaxing evening to put it simply. First there's the no hassle boarding right off the beach as the catamaran comes right up onto the beach. There may be a line but boarding is quick with lots of room for everyone once on board. You get underway very quickly, a brief safety talk, and then your motoring out past the waves to station yourself for the fireworks show. Drinks are as free flowing as you want distributed by the crew of one in a very efficient manner. The fireworks show looking back at the beach is pretty good - how can it not be- your on a boat in the Pacific, looking at skyline of Waikeke and it's 82 degrees!!! After the fireworks the captain raises the sails and you cruise along the coast. BUT - the best part of the trip is talking with the other passengers- my family met a group from New Zealand and we spent the time talking about differences between the two cultures as similiar as they may be to each other. We have 17 year old twins (boy & girl) and they also had lots of fun !! The price was a very good value, the time at sea was about right- Highly recommended!!

I had only been on large ships in Hawaii until now, so the catamaran, which allowed me to feel the ocean up close, was absolutely fantastic. My children also had a great time and were very happy. It was interesting to see surfers riding the waves up close. The crew was friendly as well. However, the boat does sway quite a bit due to the wind, so your clothes may get wet, and I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness.

いままでハワイで大型船にしか乗ったことがなかったので海を一番身近に感じられるカタマランは最高に楽しかったです。子供もとても楽しかったと喜んでいました。サーファーの波乗りもかなり近くでみることができ面白いです。クルーもフレンドリーです。ただし、船は風によってかなり揺れますので、お洋服は濡れますし、船酔いをする方にはあまりお勧めできません。

The Island Magic is the perfect name for the perfect Sunset Catamaran Cocktail Sail we had. The crew, drinks, and MUSIC was great. The sunset was spectacular but the bonus was the full moon over Diamond Head. It was an amazing night. Mahalo for the wonderful memories.

It was sunset time. The captain was very friendly, and it was a lot of fun. The sunset viewed from the beach is beautiful, but the sunset seen over the vast ocean is also wonderful. It was worth more than the price. This was my first catamaran experience in Hawaii, despite it being my sixth visit.

サンセットの時間帯でした。船長もとても気さくな方でとても楽しかったです。そして浜辺で観る夕陽も綺麗ですが、大海原で眺める夕陽も素敵です。価格以上の満足度でした。ハワイは６回目にして始めてのカタマラン体験でした。

The crew was amazing. The fireworks were awesome!! It started out with a booking that was fast and informative. We then started out on the water. Smooth sailing, and the captain was very friendly and personable. They said that the maitais were the best on the island. They weren't kidding!! Overall very well done! A must do, must see, must experience!

I have participated in the daytime cruise twice before and had a great time, so this time I tried the sunset cruise. We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful. The experience is completely different from viewing it from the ground. Previously, most participants were foreigners, but this time there were many Japanese people. They were a bit quieter, but we were able to take photos and enjoy ourselves casually. This makes it three consecutive years. I will definitely participate again next time.

今まで2回、昼のクルーズに参加して楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズにトライしました。天気に恵まれ、サンセットは最高に綺麗でした。地上から見るのとは全然違う感動があります。参加者は今までは外国人ばかりでしたが、今回は日本人が多数でした。大人しめでしたが、写真を撮りあったり気楽に過ごせました。これで、3年連続。次も必ず参加します。

You will have your photo taken before boarding the ship after checking in. While it's not mandatory to purchase the photo when disembarking, it does add a bit of time to the boarding process. There were many foreign participants, but there were also some Japanese people. Even though we didn't communicate much verbally, it was enjoyable to share the same space and connect a little. The sunset viewed from the ship was a different experience compared to watching it from the beach, and it was truly moving. I would love to participate again next time.

受付を済ませて船に乗る前に写真を撮られます。下船時に強制ではありませんが買うシステム。そのため乗船に少し時間がかかりました。参加者は外国人の方が多いですが日本人もいました。言葉はあまり通じなくても同じ場所にいるだけで少しだけですがコミュニケーションがとれて楽しかったです。船から見る夕日はビーチから見るのとは一味違って感動しました。次回も参加したいです。

I joined the sunset sail with my family. The views were perfect, and my Mum and Dad really enjoyed it, it is interesting to see the sunset on catamaran with a bottle of Maitai. The price is reasonable and you will not regret.

We had a blast on the catamaran from start to finish. We looked into the dinner cruises but were drawn to the quaintness and al-inclusive drinks on the catamaran. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful to show you a good time. The sail included a ride past Diamond Head and then returned toward the sunset over the Pacific. Seeing the many sailboats, paddleboarders, and surfers along the way was fun. We would definitely do it again.

Soooo Much Fun!! And they are not stingy on the drinks.lol I thought I would have to be asking for drinks but they actually go around often to refill your cup. I was never fully done with my drink. (And my friends and I were racing to finish them!) lol We were on the corner of the sailboat so we got soaked! We didn't mind getting wet though! Everyone must do this! So worth it!

My girlfriend and I went on a Star of Honolulu dinner cruise one Friday and we had a blast!
We arrived early and had some drinks before boarding the ship and were greeted with a performance of beautiful Hawaiian dancers. They kept dancing all the time while people were boarding, it was so pretty.
On board everybody was very friendly and welcoming, it felt great. They had to manage a lot of people getting on the ship but the staff seemed relaxed and genuinely happy that we were on board. Our server was particularly sweet, she worked so hard all evening. Although she was incredibly busy she even took the time to chat with us (we both share the same name and were joking around about it). The welcome drink was great (Mai Tai)! And dinner as well. It was so much to eat I was totally stuffed at the end. Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes, and crab legs as much as we could eat (warning: you will think you can eat more but it's already so much you cannot!). All finished off with yummy ice cream desert and coffee. The welcome drink was included, additional drinks had to be paid for but the prices were absolutely reasonable for the type of cruise! The route was beautiful and took us out towards Diamond Head. Even though there were a lot of people on board there is enough room to walk around and get a good spot to watch the sunset or take pictures. Later they started an evening show with lots of different costumes which was fun! We sat very close to the performance and they were again beautiful to watch. After the show they even encouraged everybody to stand up and dance! That was so much fun. Some people were shy but the crew had so much energy themselves they danced and danced and got many people up. Time just flew by! It was so beautiful to see the island and Waikiki/Honolulu from the distance, the lights, night setting in. Definitely recommended as a special trip for your vacation or a very romantic special date with your loved one :)

I have visited Hawaii with my family about 30 times, but this was the first time my husband and I participated in this cruise. It was so wonderful that we joined again this time and experienced the best sunset.

３０回ほど家族でハワイを訪れていますが、このクルーズには前回夫と初めて参加しました。あまりのすばらしさに今回も参加し、最高のサンセットが経験できました。

It was an enjoyable, memorable, unforgettable, and breathtaking Dinner Cruise celebrating my 60th birthday on August 31, 2014 with "Three Star Classic Steak & Lobster Dinner" all the way from Toronto, Canada. Me and 13 guests were very pleased from Customer Service (very friendly staff), food and beverages, and atmosphere. I will surely strongly recommend to all Canadians and non-Canadians. The greatest thing... I felt I was the "STAR" of Honolulu Dinner Cruise guest at the time, as I got lots of attention from STAFF and GUESTS greeting me "Happy birthday." In addition, one of the Polynesian dancers, Emmy C. my cousin daughter watching her dancing, added my day celebrating another Milestone. She and all her co-dancers and all the entertainers did a great job! Kudos!

I will also to thank VELTRA tours and activities Company especially my niece Emily Coloma who booked our reservation. I will surely recommend to all my friends, family, relatives and acquaintances globally. Mahalo!

I was able to see whales! I participated with my 5-year-old daughter, but she didn't seem very impressed, perhaps because of the distance to the whales. The food was delicious, and the staff was friendly, so my husband and I had a great time.

The boat hardly rocked, so I don't think anyone would get seasick.

クジラ見られました！
５歳の娘と参加したましたが、娘はクジラまでの距離があるせいか、あまり感動していないようでした(＠_＠;)
料理も美味しかったし、スタッフの方もフレンドリーだし、夫と私はとても楽しかったです。

船もほとんど揺れないので、酔うこともないと思います。

Beautiful scenery... Friendly, courteous guides... Great time.... Too short!

On our last day in Hawaii, my girlfriend and I dressed up and boarded a boat, but it felt like a children's summer camp from the movie The Addams Family, with an overly cheerful muscle crew interacting with families and elderly couples in a typically American, broad manner. The food was terrible, mostly fried items that would have been better left unserved. It might be fine for families with children under 13 or elderly couples, but I can't recommend it for couples. My girlfriend felt seasick and became moody, stopping talking altogether. Everyone seemed to be happily enjoying the sea turtles popping up, but I wondered if it was really that fun. This tour, which only goes a short distance from Waikiki Beach, reminded me a lot of the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride I took at Disney World in Florida long ago. We boarded a submarine-like attraction that was full with just 15 people, dove only 2 meters, and saw a mechanical octopus that was broken and wouldn't move, with dads exclaiming "Waoooo!!" to their kids. It brought back that atmosphere.

I feel bad for my girlfriend...

ハワイ最後の日の思い出にと彼女とオシャレして船に乗り込んだものの、映画アダムスファミリーの子供向け夏合宿のごとく、やたら陽気一辺倒のマッスルクルーがマッスルスマイルで家族連れから老夫婦迄、アメリカ特有の大雑把なくくりで終始対応していた。食事は最悪で出さない方がまだましな揚げ物系ばかり。家族連れの13歳未満のお子様、老夫婦には丁度いいが、カップルにはお勧め出来ない。私の彼女は船酔いもあって気分悪く不機嫌になって喋らなくなってしまった。海カメが顔だしているのを皆まんぞくげに喜んでいたが、そんなに楽しいのだろうか？ワイキキビーチからわずかに遠くに行くだけの本ツアーは、昔フロリダのディズニーワールドで乗った海底2万マイルとよく似ている。15人も入ったら満員の潜水艦型アトラクションシップに乗込み、わずか2メートル潜水して、機械仕掛のしかも壊れて動かないタコがでてきて、お父さんが子供にWaoooo!!というやつ。あの雰囲気を思い出す。

彼女には悪いことしてしまった。。
