Oahu
Really good sailing weather and beautiful sunset with a crazy crew. We went with this company 10 years ago and we needed just one more sunset cruise before our sun permanently set😂
Wear a light jacket and wading shoes.
Mahalo for sailing with us again after all these years! We’re thrilled the weather, the sunset, and our fun‑loving crew made your return trip memorable. Your comment gave us a good laugh — and we’re honored you chose to spend “one more sunset” with us.
Wishing you many more beautiful horizons ahead, and we hope to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for the next adventure.
If we had departed a little earlier, we would have been able to see the beautiful night view of Honolulu illuminated by the sunset. A departure at 6 PM in December is too late.
On the other hand, we had to wait quite a while in the cold on the boat until the fireworks started, and once they began, they ended in a short time, leaving us feeling unsatisfied.
もう少し早い出港であれば夕日に映えるホノルルの夜景が見えたはず。12月の18時発は遅すぎる。
一方、花火が始まるまでに寒い船上で随分待たされ、花火が始まったら短時間で終了してしまい、物足りなく思った。

Since the main event is in early spring, I boarded with moderate expectations. However, we encountered a whale before reaching the point! Although I couldn't take any photos, I was able to enjoy watching a whale jump high up close (just like in promotional photos). Most of the passengers were Americans, but there were also about three groups of Japanese. It's easy to get there by Uber or bus, and for this price, I'm very satisfied!
本番は春先ということで、期待そこそこで乗船。ところがポイント到着前からくじらに遭遇！写真は撮れませんでしたが、大きくジャンプするくじら(まさに宣材写真の通り)を至近で楽しむことが出来ました。殆どが米人ですが、日本人グループも3組ほどいました。
Uberでもバスでも行きやすく、この値段なら大満足です♪
Since the wind is strong, a windbreak is essential. If you're concerned about seasickness, it's better to take medication.
風が強いので風除けは必須かと。船酔いの薬も心配な方は服用した方が良いです。

The weather was favorable, the waves were calm, and the wind felt nice. The sailboats moving along were a great sight, and the people on board seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was refreshing to view the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was able to enjoy a pleasant afternoon.
天候に恵まれ、波が穏やかで、風も気持ち良かったです。
帆を上げて進む船もいい感じで、乗船してる方々も楽しそうな雰囲気です。
ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドを海から眺めるのも新鮮です。
午後のひと時を楽しく過ごすことができました。

The staff were kind and amazing! Even though I brought a cardigan, I felt cold after drinking a cold beverage. The staff prepared several towels for me, and in the end, they even lent me a jacket! I want to join this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
スタッフが優しく最高！
カーディガンを持っていったものの冷たいドリンクを飲んだせいか寒くしていたら、
スタッフがタオルを何枚も用意してくれ、しまいには上着を貸してくれました！
またハワイ行ったら参加したいツアー。
心からの感謝を申し上げます。私たちのクルーがあなたを大切にし、ツアー中に快適で温かく過ごせるようにしてくれたと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。真心のアロハを提供し、ゲストを大切にすることは常に私たちの優先事項であり、それがあなたにとって違いをもたらしたことを知ることができて大変意味があります。
次回ハワイを訪れる際には、ぜひまたお迎えできることを光栄に思います。それまでの間、私たちと一緒に航海していただき、体験を共有していただきありがとうございます。
Mahalo nui loa for your kind review. We’re so happy to hear that our crew took good care of you and made sure you stayed warm and comfortable during your tour. Providing genuine aloha and looking after our guests is always our priority, and it means a lot to know it made a difference for you.
We’d be honored to welcome you back the next time you visit Hawai‘i. Until then, thank you for sailing with us and for sharing your experience.

We had a great experience seeing the fireworks on a Friday evening. The boat ride is about an hour. The firework was about a good 10 minutes (two parts) but you will be not be able to see fireworks sitting in the Waikiki beach area so recommend making a reservation with Ke Kai as they know the spot where the firework takes place. We were expecting the firework to be a little longer but that is okay. Drinks are included in the package. Definitely be coming back! Thank you for making it a great night.
Bring a jacket or sweater with you as it gets chilly in the evening throughout the boat ride.
Had a wonderful sail. Beautiful view of city and lights at night . Clear view of fireworks show. Clean boat. Friendly staff.
It's inexpensive, the boat is large and stable, and the staff is not mean. I was told that we wouldn't see any whales in December, but we saw many, and they were very close, clearly showing their bodies and fins, even spouting water—it was truly moving. I think there were about 100 participants, but no Japanese people. Well, the restroom was smelly, but that's unavoidable. The meeting place was a bit hard to find. I've been to Hawaii around 30 times, but this might have been the best experience yet!
お安いし、船も大きくて安定してるし、スタッフも意地悪じゃない。12月は見れないと言われていたクジラもたくさん見れて、何頭もすごく近くで体、ヒレもはっきり、潮まで吹いてくれて感動しかない。100人とか参加してたと思うけど日本人なし。まあ、トイレは臭いけど仕方なし。集合場所は若干わかりにくいかな。ハワイは30回とかは軽く来てるけど、今までで一番よかったかも！

The breeze was pleasant, the sunset was beautiful, and in the end, I got to see the night view, which made me very satisfied! Above all, the Mai Tai was incredibly delicious, and I ended up drinking too much, but there were restrooms available, so it was all good!
風も気持ち良く、サンセットも綺麗、最後には夜景も観れ、大満足です！
なによりマイタイがとても美味しく、ついつい飲みすぎてしまいましたが、トイレもあるので大丈夫！
マハロ（ありがとう）！私たちと経験を共有していただきありがとうございます。心地よい風、美しい夕日、そしてきらめく夜景があなたのクルーズを本当に満足のいくものにしたと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。そして、マイタイを楽しんでいただけたことも嬉しいです — それには理由がある人気のドリンクですからね！
航海中、快適で大切にされていると感じていただけたことが素晴らしいです。私たちと一緒に過ごしていただき感謝しており、また水上でのリラックスした思い出に残る夜をお迎えできることを願っています。
Mahalo for sharing your experience with us. We’re so glad to hear the pleasant breeze, beautiful sunset, and sparkling night views made your cruise truly satisfying. And we’re happy you enjoyed the Mai Tai — it’s a guest favorite for a reason!
It’s great to know you felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the sail. We appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing and memorable evening on the water.

The staff were very lively and served drinks, creating a great atmosphere. Since it was an all-you-can-drink option, I enjoyed Mai Tais, sparkling wine, and beer while watching the beautiful sunset and Diamond Head, experiencing a sense of the extraordinary as the boat swayed. It was a very luxurious and happy time. I would love to repeat this the next time I go to Hawaii.
店員のお姉さんがとてもノリノリでお酒を配ってくれ、とても盛り上がりました。飲み放題だったのでマイタイやスパークリングワイン、ビールを飲みながら、綺麗な夕日やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めて、船に揺られながら非日常を味わうことができました。とても贅沢で幸せな時間でした。次ハワイに行く時もリピートしたいと思います。
The meeting place might be a bit difficult to find. When boarding the boat, you'll need to climb the stairs that lead over the shallow water, so I think it's best to wear easy-to-remove sandals since
集合場所が少し難しいかもしれません。船に乗る際、海の浅瀬にかかっている階段を登って、船の中では裸足のため脱ぎやすいサンダルがいいと思います。

I came to Hawaii to see whales. When I went to Hokkaido, I also stared intently at the ocean surface searching for whales. In Hawaii, I also gazed at the sea, looking for them. (The captain tried various things like bananas and shrimp.) But unfortunately!! This time it didn't work out!! Next time, for sure!
クジラが見たくてハワイに来た。
北海道に行った時もジーッと海面を見つめてクジラを探した。
ハワイでもジーッと海をにらんで探した。（キャプテンもバナ
ナ、エビの投入など色々、試してくれた。）でも残念！！今回
はダメだった！！次はぜひ
Never give up and keep challenging yourself.

It was amazing.
We participated with seven family members, including three children.
There were no Japanese people, but that was totally fine!
It was the best cruise.
The crew consisted of two women, and they were very kind to the children.
最高でした。
家族7人、内 子供３人で参加。
日本人はいませんでしたが全然OK！

The sunset and night view are beautiful.
The service was good, and the meat was delicious.
I paid for a window seat guarantee, but it felt like I wasted my money since only the window seats were used.
The price was high, so my expectations were great, but there was no excitement that matched the cost.
Everyone was unsure whether to tip or not.
If a tip is necessary, it should be stated in advance; otherwise, it's unfortunate for the serving crew.
夕日と夜景は綺麗です。
サービスも良く、お肉は美味しかった。
窓側確約料金を払ったが、実際は窓側しか使用されておらず、無駄なお金を払ってしまった気分になった。
料金が高いので期待が大きかったが、料金に見合った感動はない。
チップを払うのか否か皆が迷っていた。
チップが必要なら事前に記載しないと、サーブする船員の方々がかわいそうだ。
Be careful not to have too high expectations.
期待しすぎに注意です。
Thank you very much for bringing your family to our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We are sorry that we could not meet your expectations at Nova Five Star, but we are very pleased that you enjoyed the sunset and night view from the ship, as well as your meal. Thank you for your feedback.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズに御家族でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ノバファイブスターにてお客様のご期待に答えられなかったことが残念に思っておりますが、船上からのサンセットと夜景、そして、お食事を楽しんで頂き大変嬉しく思っております。今回のお声を有難うございました。

There were no Japanese people at all, but I enjoyed the sunset while drinking something delicious. Since we went quite far out, seeing Diamond Head from the sea was refreshing.
全く日本の方はいませんでしたが、おいしく飲みながらサンセットを楽しみました。
結構沖のほうまで行くので海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドも新鮮です。
When you see the ship, you might feel anxious about where the restroom is, but don't worry if you drink too much; there are restrooms available, so you can relax.
船をみるとトイレがどこにあるか不安ですが、飲みすぎても大丈夫です、ちゃんとトイレはありますので安心して下さい。

It was my first time on a cruise ship. I was happy to see both the sunset and a rainbow at the same time. The staff and the guests were all cheerful, and it was a lot of fun. I would like to participate again.
初めて乗ったクルーズ船。夕日と虹を同時に見られて幸せでした。スタッフもお客さんもみんな陽気で楽しかったです。また参加したいと思います。

There are often clouds on the horizon, so you might not be able to see the sunset, but the mood is absolutely fantastic. Although there are only light snacks and alcohol, I really enjoyed the 90-minute sailing.
水平線上に雲が出ることが多いので夕陽の沈むタイミングは見られないかもしれませんが、何よりムードが最高です。
軽食とアルコールのみですが90分間のセーリングはとても楽しめました。
Everything is running on time, so there's no need to go early; just make sure to arrive by the meeting time.
全て時間通りに運営されているので、早く行く必要はなく、集合時間に間に合えば良いです。

A beautiful evening doing the sunset cruise. Friendly staff, great music and a little bit of entertainment thrown in.
Great for couples and adults
I had a great time. It was nice to receive energy from the young people. I hope to come again. I'll do my best.
楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。若い人から元気をもらってよかったです。また来ますように。がんばります。

This morning sail is great! Staff are so friendly & fun. Will be booking this again next year!!!
I participated in activities like ziplining and buggy rides at Kualoa Ranch, flying a Cessna, jet skiing, and a tour of the waterfalls in Maui, but the best experience was this Mai Tai catamaran cruise.
On my last day in Hawaii, I enjoyed a drink while feeling the Hawaiian breeze with Western music playing in the background. Watching the sunset and reflecting on my trip to Hawaii, I realized that despite all the tours I took, the most luxurious and happiest moments were simply spending time like this, enjoying the pleasant wind of Hawaii.
ダイアモンドヘッド、クアロアランチのジップラインとバギー、セスナ操縦、ジェットスキー、パラセーリング、マウイの滝のツアーにも参加したが、1番よかったのがこのマイタイカタマランクルーズ。
ハワイ最後の日暮れ。洋楽が流れる中、ハワイの風を感じながらお酒を飲む。夕陽が落ちるのも見届けながら、ハワイ旅行の振り返りをする。いろんなツアーに参加したけど、結局ハワイは風が気持ちいいのだから、こーやってぼーっと時間を過ごすのが1番贅沢だなと幸せだなと感じました。

We had a special night on the ke Kai watching the Friday night fireworks.
Staff were all lovely was a great vibe on the catamaran.
So nice seeing Waikīkī at night like that, the fireworks themselves don’t go for too long but still was magic.
We went with our kids and they loved it.
Great crew made this a fun evening on the water with beautiful views. If you are looking to get out on the water, this is an awesome way to see the coast and amazing sunset. Crew are pro’s with people to make sure all are safe and having a great time.
Had an absolute great time. It was a nice day outside, the water was calm. The staff was very nice, greeting, helpful with questions. The food was good, the buffet I couldn't complain. The chicken and roast beef were top notch as well as the salads and desserts. The entertainment was fun, learned out to do some Polynesian dancing on board and the dancers were really good and crowd uplifting. I would do it again. Cruise was about 2-3 hours on the water. Definitely good views of the sunset for photo taking.
Price should be maybe 20-25 dollars lower for cost.
Our group really enjoyed the sunset cruise. Great service, fun environment and the drinks were a bonus treat. LOVE this trip we plan on doing it again in 2024!
The crew was cheerful and kind, and the sunset over the Waikiki night view along with the free drinks on board was fantastic🥂 I will definitely ride again next time!
クルーの方も陽気で親切で、ワイキキの夜景にサンセット、船上でのフリードリンクは最高でした🥂
次回も絶対また乗ります！
It's better to prepare a tip before you go.

The crew is very friendly and professional. The view of Honolulu is spectacular after sunset. Talk to other passengers- meet interesting people
I boarded three times before the COVID-19 pandemic. The atmosphere was nice, and there were staff members who could speak Japanese. I was really looking forward to this trip to Hawaii after a long time, but the staff prioritized foreign guests and were not friendly towards Japanese guests. The drinks I ordered took over 30 minutes to arrive, and they didn't even ask if I wanted a refill on the bread. The only saving grace was the beautiful fireworks from Hilton. Overall, I'm just disappointed.
コロナ禍前に3回乗船しました。
雰囲気も良く、日本語も出来るスタッフもいました。今回久しぶりのハワイでとっても楽しみにしてましたが、スタッフは外人のゲストファーストで、日本人には愛想無し。頼んだドリンクは30分以上来ない。パンのおかわりさえ聞かない。唯一ヒルトンの花火が綺麗だった事が救い。
とにかく残念の一言
Thank you very much for joining our Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. We sincerely apologize for the delay in serving your drinks. We also appreciate your previous three visits. We regret that this experience was very disappointing. We will be in contact with the general manager to provide guidance to all staff for strengthening our customer service in the future.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号デイナークルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ドリンクがすぐに届かず、お飲み物をお出しするのに 大変時間が掛かったことをお詫びいたします。以前にも3回乗船していただき誠にありがとうございました。今回の体験が非常に残念な結果となったことをお詫び致します。総支配人と連絡を取り今後のカスタマーサービス強化のための指導をすべてのスタッフにしていく予定です。

Overall is very good. The lobster is very tasty, the steak is great, the view to the fire work is amazing, the crews are super friendly, the dance performance is fantastic. We enjoyed the dance at the end with a lot of laughs & funs together. Highly recommended.
I visit Hawaii regularly every year. I have participated in various sailing activities, but Holokai Catamaran has been the best, so this is my third consecutive year joining them.
The most wonderful aspect is, of course, the view of Waikiki from the sea, but even more so, the friendly attitude and service spirit of the crew. They offer unlimited drinks and provide timely refills, which reflects the hospitality that Japanese people appreciate, and it makes me happy.
There are many sailing options in Waikiki, but this one is the best. If you're considering it, definitely go and check it out!
毎年HAWAIIには定期的に伺います。
いろいろなセーリングに参加していましたがホロカイカタマランが一番良かったので今回で3年続けて参加させて頂きました。
何よりも素晴らしいのは当然海から見るワイキキの風景ですが、それにもましてクルーのフレンドリーな対応やサービス精神です。
飲み放題ですがタイムリーにお代わりの飲み物を提供してくれたり日本人が喜ぶもてなしの精神か伺え嬉しくなります。
ワイキキには数多くセイリングがありますが
ココが一番です。
ご検討の人は是非行って見てください。

Everything was GREAT! Everything was right on schedule. Great host, such a smooth ride. Our captain gave great tips and the bartender kept the drinks coming. It's a great ride to get a whole view of wakiki Beach
