All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

As a repeat visitor to Hawaii, I had never participated in a sunset cruise until this time. The sunset and Waikiki viewed from the sea were amazing. It was very romantic. Additionally, not only the scenery but also the staff were friendly and had a great vibe. The food was light but delicious, and you can enjoy up to two drinks with your ticket, which was a pleasant surprise.

We headed out to sea with the engine on, and once we were offshore, we raised the sails and cruised elegantly. You can spend a very relaxing time just listening to the sound of the waves and the wind. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to unwind.

Also, since there weren't many Japanese participants on this tour, I think it's definitely a step above tours that are exclusively for Japanese people. It was very enjoyable to communicate with people from various countries during the cruise. Of course, if you're not confident in your English, there's no need to worry. Please feel free to join in with peace of mind. I plan to visit Hawaii again in the fall, so I would like to participate again.

ハワイのリピータですが、サンセットクルーズをしたことが今まで無く、今回初めての参加でした。海から見るサンセット＆ワイキキはサイコーでした。とてもロマンチックですよ。又、景色だけでなくスタッフもフレンドリーでとてもいい感じです。食事も軽めのものですが、おいしかったですし飲み物も２杯までチケットで飲めちゃうんです。びっくりしました。
沖まではエンジンかけて行き、沖にでると帆をあげ優雅にクルーズをします。波の音と風だけにみみを傾けてとてもゆったりとした時間がすごせます。癒されたい人に是非お勧めです。
後このツアーは日本人の参加者があまり見られないので日本人ONLYのツアーより断然格上だと思います。クルーズでいろんな国の方とのコミュニケーションがとれとてもたのしいです。もちろん英語に自身がない方でも心配しないでも大丈夫。安心して参加してみて下さい。次回、秋頃にハワイに行く予定でですので又、参加したいと思っています。

If you're in Hawaii, you definitely have to enjoy the ocean, so I decided to join this sailing trip. On July 2nd, the day of the trip, the weather was clear, and we had a pleasant sailing experience under the sunset. It was about a two-hour cruise, and the interior was beautiful, the yacht had a great atmosphere, and being surrounded by foreigners really made me feel like I was abroad. As for the provided meals, they were just snacks as mentioned in other reviews, but I was aware of that in advance, so it wasn't a problem.

One thing to note is that even if it's hot when you board, it can get chilly during the cruise, so it's essential to bring a light jacket. Also, my wife got seasick, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication beforehand.

ハワイに来たならやっぱり海だろうと思って参加しました。
搭乗した７月２日は晴天で、夕焼けのもと気持ちのいいセーリングになりました。　２時間位のクルージングでしたが、内装？もきれいで、ヨットも雰囲気があり、周りは外国人だらけで、外国に来ている気分を再認識できました。　用意されている食事に関しては、他の書込みにあるとおり間食程度のものでしたが、あらかじめわかっていたので特に問題なかったです。
注意することは、乗船時は暑くても航海しているうちに寒くなってくるので、１枚羽織るものは必須です。あと、妻は船酔いしてしまったので、弱い人は酔止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをお勧めします。

This cruise was just lovely. The facilities and staff were great. We left on time and had a very fun yet relaxing cruise. We would do this again!

I participated in a two-hour sunset cruise on a catamaran that accommodates about 50 people. I was worried about seasickness, but there was little rocking, and I was able to feel the ocean up close for about two hours while enjoying a beautiful sunset.

At the time I participated, I was the only Japanese person among about 15 others from the mainland United States and Malaysia, with three staff members. There were no particular attractions; once we got out to sea, the engine was turned off, and the sails were raised, allowing the boat to move solely by the power of the wind. It was a relaxing time filled with the sounds of the wind and waves, where I enjoyed conversations with the staff and other participants, while the children took turns steering the boat with the captain. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their own experience.

Two drinks and snacks were provided, but this alone may not be enough to fill you up. The boat is well-maintained, and since there are no assigned seats, you can enjoy the sunset in Waikiki at your own pace. However, everything is in English, so it might be a good opportunity to test your English skills.

定員５０人くらいの双胴船で２時間のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。船酔いが心配でしたが揺れも少なく約２時間海を間近に感じ、とてもきれいなサンセットも見れて楽しくすごせました。
私たちが参加した時は私だけが日本人でアメリカ本土からとマレーシアからの計１５人ほどでスタッフが３人。特にアトラクションなどはなく、沖まで出るとエンジンを切って帆を揚げ風の力だけで船は進みます。風と波の音だけのゆったりとした時間でスタッフや他の参加者と会話を楽しんだり、子供たちはキャプテンと一緒に舵を握ったり、みなそれぞれの時間を楽しんでいたようです。
飲み物２杯分とおつまみがついてきますが、これだけではお腹はいっぱいにならないのであしからず。
船はきれいに手入れされており、席も決まっていないので自分のペースでワイキキのサンセットを楽しめます。
ただ、すべて英語ですから自分の英語力を試すいいチャンスかもしれません。

We went out on Friday night to see the fireworks show. The ride was great, as was the sunset view. The fireworks were great, I just wish they had been a little longer. There was no down side to this activity. I highly recommend it.

I took my girlfriend to this dinner cruise cuz I heard great things about it. It def. met my expectation, but I wish I had more money to do 5star. We did three star, and it was still good, but if you are really into that person you are with, you should do 5 star (no offense to my gf... next time...) i had a chance to peek the top floor, and it looked really nice inside. Neverthless, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Thanks!

I participated in 2007.
I recommend it for those staying in Hawaii on Independence Day.

I think it would be nice to go a little early, have a meal at Hooters in the Aloha Tower Marketplace, and then join the event.

On the way back, there is a tremendous traffic jam, so if you take a taxi back to the hotel, the meter will go up quickly, so you should be careful.

2007年に参加しました。
独立記念日にハワイに滞在している方にはお勧めです。

ちょっと早めに行って、アロハタワー・マーケット・プレイス内にある
ＨＯＯＴＥＲＳでお食事してから参加するのもいいと思います。

帰りはものすごい渋滞なので、タクシーでホテルまで帰ると
メーターがガンガン上がるので、気をつけたほうがいいですよ。

Our captain was hilarious, the view was spectacular, the drinks were fantastic...you must do this! We made some new friends on the cruise who are locals, I told them I hadn't expected to meet and locals since I thought it was more of a tourist activity they said it's the best value for your money on Oahu! It was so much fun! A tip: bring along your camera, a few ones to tip the bar tender and $5 to purchase the "shaker" (which is optional). And for the ladies... YES! there is a potty on board!

We found the experience a total refreshment. From the loading on the ship to the disembarking, the personal attention to our needs was delightful. We found the food to be excellent. The only down side we found was their taste in music, but to each his/her own.
We found the Vow Renewal part not as exciting as anticipated but well worth the expense.

We went on the sunset cruise. Even though the sky overcast and the waters were choppy for part of the trip, we still had an amazing time!

Food was average but yummy, served buffet style: chicken wraps, pasta salad, spring rolls, cookies.

Great, friendly, helpful crew. Good middle-ground between a fancy dinner cruise and simple booze cruise. This is the only catamaran cruise I found that actually offers food...and for about the same price as the others that only offer alcohol.

Would definitely recommend!

I decided to take a trip to hawaii and include this lovely romantic cruise ship for my boyfriend's 30th birthday.If was very intimate and romantic. We absolutely loved the experience and the staff. Kalani and Joe were such a joy. I would strongly recommend the 5 star honolulu dinner cruise to any couple celebrating a special or intimate event.

I participated in this as a way to create memories with a friend who is leaving Hawaii, and it was a pleasant sailing experience with great weather.

The staff was very accommodating, and the snacks provided were delicious, which made me very satisfied.

Above all, as a woman, what made me happiest was that the restrooms were clean! This is definitely a high point.

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to relax and fully enjoy Hawaii!

ハワイを去ってしまう友達と一緒に
思い出作りとして参加したのですが、
お天気もよく、気持ちのいいセーリングでした。

スタッフの対応もよく、用意してある
スナックもおいしくて、大満足でした。

何より女性として一番うれしいのは、
おトイレがキレイだということ♪
ここはかなりポイントが高いです。

リラックスしつつ、ハワイを満喫したい、と言う人にはぜひオススメです(・∀・)ノ

The Oahu Dinner Sunset Cruise was very nice; the service was great and the food was excellent.

It was a blast! From what I can remember...

It was a bit windy on the day, but the atmosphere was quite nice, and we enjoyed it for about two hours. However, the food was just a light snack. My parents in their 70s also found it amusing.

当日は少々風が強かったのですが、かなり雰囲気がよく約２時間満喫しました。ただ、食事等はほんのつまみ程度です。
７０代の親も面白がっていました。

The sunset sailing on Friday was fully booked, so I participated in the afternoon sailing instead. We were the only Japanese people there, but the captain spoke Japanese well, so there were no issues at all. While luxury cruise ships are nice, feeling the waves and wind directly on a yacht is the best! I absolutely recommend it!

金曜日のサンセットセーリングが満席だったので、アフタヌーン セーリングに参加しました。
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、キャプテンが日本語が上手で、全然問題ありませんでした。豪華客船もいいけどヨットで波と風を直接に感じれて最高！絶対おすすめ！

excellent sunset sail. beyond expectations with staff and food. wonderful!

this was so lovely and we got to see a mother and calf whale...off season too...highly recommend. Staff was excellent...

Jon and his crew are hilarious and wonderful.
It's a good short trip around the bay that I highly recommend. Great for first times and repeat visitors. Excellent for kids!!!!

This cruise was short of wind and so no sails - on fault of the crew of course but it was disappointing. The crew was very good. The sun set was average. I was impressed with the boat itself. Nonetheless, we had a great time and would recommend it.

It was a fantastic experience. The staff was really nice and loved "high tide". The captain was funny and let you drive the boat for a little bit. Food was really good and the bartender will be your new best friend.

The staff was great. The bartender was friendly and outgoing. The captain was awesome!! I've never been sailing before and my wife is an avid sailor and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. The ride was smooth. Coctails were available the whole time. We saw whales and a beautiful sunset.

Transportation picked us up on time. We were seated upon arrival to the boat. We were served promptly. the ride was soo smooth. The food was excellent. The entertainment was fabulous. There was plenty of time for pictures and you were able to walk around at your leisure. we got amazing pictures especially sunset pictures, and the crew was great!.. i would recommend this to anyone looking for a fabulous dinner cruise to attend in hawaii. this is a definite must do! the picture attached, was a product of this cruise!

We had SUCH a wonderful time aboard this catamaran! The Captain and crew were friendly and efficient, the food was good and plentiful, the drinks were well made, and the view was just stunning! The light dinner (turkey wraps, pasta, and spring rolls with a cookie for desert) was plentiful and good quality, very fresh. The 3 free drink coupons we had were just the right amount, we didn't even need to buy more drinks. The bartender did a good job, the mixed dinks were well made. There is even a plasma TV on board with a video of underwater shots of fish if you prefer to stay below deck! The Vessel is very well kept and clean, quite comfortable, and lots of viewing space! It was a wonderful way to finish out out week in Hawaii~! The fireworks were beautiful, but short, but the view couldn't have been more lovely!

we absolutely had a great time on the cruise we saw whale activity just as promised. The only two things that I would suggest in the future is that you may want to utilize more of the boats space with the activities you provided, people were too crowded. the buffet needed to be held open longer and have food available in supple amounts those of us who were told we could watch the whales longer and that the buffet would be there came back to limited food and a quick clean up.

I participated on a Friday in February 2008. I love Hawaii and have been there many times, but this was the first time I felt so much like I was in a foreign country. No matter where I went, there were Japanese people, and even when I spoke in English, I was responded to in Japanese in Waikiki... but this tour was different. My husband and I participated, but everyone else was foreign.

All the staff were also foreign, but the captain had lived in Osaka before and spoke Japanese well. The others probably spoke only English, so I think it's good to be able to speak at least a little English. It's really fun to be able to talk with other guests too.

Also, a jacket is absolutely essential! Other foreign guests were fine in sleeveless tops, but my husband, who usually gets hot easily, was freezing.

The sunset and fireworks were beautifully visible, and I was very satisfied.

By the way, the crew was full of handsome guys.

2008年2月の金曜日に参加しました。
ハワイは好きで何度も行っていますが・・こんなに外国を
感じたのは初めてでした。
どこへ行っても日本人がいて、英語で話しても日本語で
返されるワイキキ・・でもこのツアーは違いました。
夫婦で参加したのですが、他の方はすべて外国人でした。

スタッフも全て外国人でしたが、キャプテンが以前に
大阪に住んでいたそうで、日本語が上手でした。
それ以外の方は恐らく英語オンリーなので、
やはり多少でも英語が話せるといいと思います。
他のお客さんとも話せると、とっても楽しいですよ。

それから上着は絶対必須！です。
他の外国人の方々は平気でノースリーブでいましたが、
普段暑がりの旦那も凍えてました。

サンセットも花火もキレイに見えて大満足。

余談ですが、クルーはイケメン揃いです。

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. In Hawaii, where there are mostly Japanese, I felt a sense of "foreignness." The female bartender was also sexy, and the food was decent and good. Above all, I felt like I was on my own cruiser, which was the best part. I've been to Hawaii over 30 times, and each time I always experience "Hawaii for the first time."

夫婦２人で参加しました。
日本人は、私たち２人でした。どこに行っても、日本人ばかりのハワイで、"外国"を感じました。バーテンダーの女性もＳＥＸＹで、食事もそれなりに、ＧＯＯＤ，何より、自分のクルーザーみたいな気になり、最高でした。ハワイは、３０回以上になります。毎回、いつも"初めてのハワイ"を体験します。

My bother and I went on the Oahu Day Cruise on April 10th 2008 just for an activity for the day. The cruise was an amazing experience with great staff and good people. The whales were amazing that day, so there was no lack of seeing one. I would highly recommend this activity during april or wnever there are whales to watch. It was quite an experience. Thanks to Hawaii Activities, and the Star of Honolulu crew.

This was an awesome activity!!! I went with my seven year old daughter and we both had a fabulous time. The sunset was AMAZING!! The crew and the captain were funny, polite, and extremely accomedating to the all guests on board. Before leaving the dock they went over safety tips, what food was being provide and where to find it, as well, the itenerary for the evenings trip. The fireworks from the Hilton were great! It was a nice way to wrap up the trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys the open water and beautiful scenery.

My family had a wonderful time on this cruise. We would do this again if we go back to Hawaii. Everyone should try it, the food was great, the entertainment was great. Evrything was wonderful.
