All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Crew was super friendly, awesome experience! View was beautiful and ride was fun. Crew also made sure our drinks stayed full!

My Father and Mother-in-law asked me to plan their vow renewal ceremony while we were in Honolulu. They wanted to renew their vows on the beach, but with my father having Parkinson's, I knew it would be a difficult trek through the sand. While searching, I came across the Star of Honolulu. They had everything we were looking for. My Father could have use of his mobility scooter, as the boat had an elevator. The dinner and entertainment were good, and the ceremony performed by the captain was intimate. The captain made sure that my father was comfortable and safe during the ceremony and paid special attention to both of my parents. It was a special time and one we won't forget.

I enjoyed myself and the crew was great. I would definitely do it again. Just wish it was longer than the hour. It went by too quick!

Five years ago, my family of three saw a pink sail catamaran yacht from a dinner cruise for the first time and decided that we would definitely take a ride the next time we came to Waikiki. However, it was postponed due to COVID-19. Now that my son's job hunting is over, we went on a trip just the two of us! It was an amazing experience. I want to share the beauty of the sunset cruise with more people in Japan. The jumping in was also fantastic. Thank you to the captain, the crew, and all the participants.

五年前、家族3人で初めてディナークルーズ船からピンクセールのカタマランヨットを見て次回、ワイキキに来たら必ず乗船すると、決めてましたが、コロナで伸び伸びになってましたが、息子の就活が終わって2人旅！
最高の体験が出来ました。もっと日本の皆にサンセットクルーズの良さを伝えたいです。
飛び込みも最高でした。キャプテン、クルーの皆んな、参加者の皆様ありがとうございました。

Really eloquent set up, and a fun evening on vacation! Fun to be on the water compare to the nightly restaurants!

I recommend this experience because you can enjoy a sunset while cruising easily. Beer and Mai Tais are all-you-can-drink. However, there were no snacks available. There is also a restroom on board.

On the same catamaran, depending on the company, you may not be able to sit on the net at the front, but with Holokai Catamaran, you can. However, if you sit on the net, you will get wet, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. The kids especially enjoy it, but one child ended up shivering from being soaked at the end. If you don’t sit on the net or at the front, you won’t get wet.

Most of the staff do not speak Japanese. You need to fill out a consent form for everyone in advance online, but you can also do it at the reception on the day. However, it’s better to complete it online.

お手軽にクルージングしながらサンセットが見られるのでお勧めです。ビールやマイタイ等は飲み放題です。つまみになるスナック類等はありませんでした。トイレも付いてます。
同じカタマランでも会社によっては前方のネットに乗ることが出来ませんが、ホロカイカタマランは乗ることができます。ただしネットに乗ると濡れますので水着着用＆タオル持参は必須です。子供達は特に喜びますが、ズブ濡れになった子供が最後は寒くなって震えてました。ネット＆前方に乗らなければ濡れなかったです。
ほとんど日本語は通じません。事前にネットで全員の同意書の記入が必要ですが当日受付でも出来ます。ただしネットで済ました方が良いです。

I had seen several boats from the beach beforehand, so I knew their size, but I was most concerned about getting seasick from the rocking. However, that worry was completely unfounded.

The boat moved swiftly, cutting through the waves, and while it bounced up and down, it felt more like an attraction than anything that would make me feel sick.

We ventured far out to search for dolphins (which, if you're lucky, can be seen from the boat), and with unlimited drinks like Mai Tais, we could enjoy our beverages while on board. The staff were very attentive, checking in when our drinks were running low and skillfully maneuvering the boat, providing a comfortable service.

We headed back to shore a bit early, and my husband and I remarked how it was still bright even though it was sunset. However, we stayed on the water until the sun had fully set and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. I joined the tour on the same day spontaneously, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. It became a wonderful memory before returning home!

ビーチから事前に船を何隻か見ていたので、大きさは分かっておりましたが、一番気になっていた揺れる＝酔うのではないかと思っておりましたが、全くの杞憂でした。
勢いよく走り船は波を横切りざぶんざぶんと上下になりますが、アトラクションのような揺れで酔うことはなかったです。

ぐんと沖に出てイルカ探索をしたり（ラッキーだと船上から見えるそうです）、マイタイなど飲み放題でしたのでアルコールを楽しみながら船を楽しめます。スタッフの方は大変きびきび行動されており、飲み物がなくなりそうになると声をかけてくれたり、船を操縦したりと、居心地の良いサービスでした。

結構早めに岸に向かったので夫とはサンセットなのにまだ明るいね…と話していたら、しっかり陽が傾くまで海上におり美しいサンセットを楽しめました。ツアーは急遽当日参加をしましたが、本当に予約して良かったです。
帰国前の素敵な記念になりました！

I participated with my mother.

We considered a sunset cruise on a large ship, but choosing this one was the right decision. The sense of distance and immersion with the sea and scenery is completely different.

I ordered drinks at the bar in my broken English, but the staff girl was very pleasant and accommodating.

Just one thing to note: be careful with the restroom. You can't flush the paper, so make sure not to accidentally put it in the toilet.

母と2人で参加しました。

大きな船でのサンセットクルーズも考えましたが、こちらにして正解でした。
海や景色との距離感、臨場感が全く違います。

拙い英語でバーでの飲み物を注文したのですが、スタッフの女の子が感じよく対応してくれました。

一つだけ、おトイレに注意です。
紙は流せませんのでうっかり便器に入れてしまわないように。

It was an activity that included everything you can do in Hawaii. Snorkeling from the boat was a great experience. The dinner was all-you-can-eat and drink, and it was a good value!

HAWAIIにいるからできることがすべて入ったアクティビティでした。船からのシュノーケリングは良い体験です。夕食も飲み食べ放題、コスバ良し!

The staff were so kind and fun. The drinks are endless, there’s a bathroom on board and the boat is quite large.

Booked this sunset cruise last minute not knowing it was a booze cruise. We had such a great time! The crew was safety conscious but encouraged everyone to enjoy and have a great time. They took care of the people. The views were amazing! We met new friends and just enjoyed the vibes. I would definitely book this again!

Aloha! I forget the names of our Cruise crew (one female and two males) but all 3 were great hosts. The vibe and music were just what we needed as a family on our last night in Oahu. The drinks were so good... Thank you! Our family laughed, danced and overall just had an amazing time. The sunset was beautiful. We will definitely be back in the near future.


Mahalo!

Great sunset sail & swim. Was BYOB and had a good crew. 10/10 would recommend if you’re downtown and want to good time.

Our last night in Waikiki and we enjoyed every moment!! Fun and awesome experience!! There were 23 people in our group ages between 3 and 70, mom had a fantastic time!!! Would highly recommend!!

Mahalo and a hui hou

The private boat charter was a great help for families with small children. Since there were many little kids, it was really nice for us parents not to have to worry about other customers being around. Not only did we go wild dolphin watching, but we were also lucky enough to see whales. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, and we were able to see them up close, which was incredibly cute. I definitely want to participate again, but when I tried to make the next reservation, it seemed that my next visit to Hawaii was fully booked, so I couldn't reserve. I'm really disappointed... I wish I had planned earlier.

貸切ボートチャーターは小さい子連れには助かりました。小さい子供が多かったので、他のお客様がいないことは親としては気を遣わなくてとってもよかったです。野生のイルカウォッチングだけでなく、運が良くクジラを見る事ができました。イルカが船に合わせて泳いでくれたのか、近くでみることができてとってもかわいかったです。ぜひまた参加したいと思い、次の予約をしようと思いましたら次のハワイ訪問日はいっぱいのようで、
予約できなくて残念です。。。もっと早く計画しておけばよかったです。

I imagined it would be an adult cruise since it felt like a drinking atmosphere, but there were many families and children, and it was quite noisy with kids running around. The fireworks and night view were wonderful, though...

お酒を飲む感じなので、大人のクルーズを想像していましたが、家族連れ、子供連れの方が多く、子供が走りまわり騒がしい感じでした。
花火も夜景も素敵でしたが。。。

Great Team ( really!) great moment… great cocktail ( no cheap drink) nice people. Very good experience .

The sunset view was beautiful and the crew was nice, but when I booked a cocktail cruise, I wasn’t expecting a boat full of children. There was a group of over 30 that had around 15 children with them and they took up all of the seating. One spilled a sticky drink down my husband’s leg. I love children, but like I said, I wasn’t expecting it due to the advertisement of this being a cocktail cruise. I will read more carefully before I book a similar cruise in the future.

We did a shorter sunset cruise, and the captain and crew were able to navigate windy conditions incredibly. Most of us on board did not have sea legs, and ended up loving the experience. Would 100% book again!

After passing by the pool bar at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, we arrived at the check-in area. After signing some documents, we boarded the boat right in front of the beach.

Once we set sail, we were immediately served Mai Tais and enjoyed cruising while taking in the night view. We watched fireworks in front of the Hilton Hotel! The view of the fireworks from the sea was fantastic as we could see the entire display!

After the fireworks, we cruised for a while, admiring the beautiful night view of the hotels. I went with my mother, who is in her 80s, and we had a great time without any rocking.

It was mid-July, but it was surprisingly chilly on the water during the fireworks, so having something to wrap around you would be nice. After the tour, we disembarked on the beach, so our feet were covered in sand, but there was no place to wash them off.

Since it was an English tour, we were the only Japanese people there. I can't speak English, but it was no problem at all, and we had a wonderful time!

シェラトンワイキキホテルのプールバー横を抜けると、チェックイン場所に到着。書類にサインした後、目の前の浜辺から上船します。
出航したら、すぐ、マイタイが配られ、夜景を楽しみながらクルージング。そして、ヒルトンホテル前で花火鑑賞！海から眺める花火は、全体が見えてとても素敵！
花火後は、華やかな夜景のホテル群を眺めながら、しばらくクルージング。
８０代の母と乗りましたが、揺れもなく楽しめました。
７月中旬でしたが、花火の時間帯の海上は意外と肌寒いので、羽織るものがあるといいですね。
ツアーが終わると浜辺に降りるので、足は砂だらけですが、洗う場所はありません。
英語ツアーだったせいか、日本人は私達だけ。英語はできないけど、全く問題なく、素敵な時間を過ごせました！

This was a great, relaxing sailing along the ko’olina coast. The drinks and snacks were surprisingly really good. We have 3 children (15, 12, and 9) and they all had a good time. There are some amazing views and the vibe is very laid-back. One of the crew-members (Ali) was awesome with my 15 year old who is really interested in going to school in Hawaii. She took time to share her personal experiences with her and it was greatly appreciated. The entire crew was great and we really enjoyed this tour.

The vow renewal package is 100% worth it!! What an amazing experience! Captain Mike renewed our vows on the deck. The staff was amazing enough to not just capture photos but also a video which is so memorable! The food was delicious.... a 5 course meal served to us. Way to much for me to eat but totally fresh and delicious food! The staff was amazingly nice and helpful. The Polynesian show was super cool! Overall absolutely worth every cent!!!! A must do!

The Polynesian show is very impressive，all the staff on board are nice, because of the weather we didn’t saw the beautiful sunset, but we saw the rainbow. we did not like food, anyhow it is a nice journey !

The crew were both helpful and entertaining. Would definitely go out on this trip again.

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was a wonderful sunset cruise like I have never seen before. There were hardly any Japanese people, mostly folks from the mainland, but everyone, regardless of age, was excited, drinking, dancing, and swimming. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

私が何度もハワイへ行ってますが、今までに見た事のない、素晴らしいサンセットクルーズでした。日本人がほとんどおらず、メインランドの方々でしたが、年齢問わずみんな盛り上がり、飲んで踊って、泳いでととても楽しい2時間でした。

Drinks were delicious, sun was shining and the views were great!

The boat was a bit rocky.
The food was delicious but felt cheap.
The fireworks were amazing.
If the boat were bigger, maybe the rocking would be less.

船が少し揺れやすくよいました
ご飯はおいしかったが　安っぽかった
花火は最高でした
船が大きければ揺れは小さいのかも

The food was ok. The noodles were the best part. The entertainment wad better definately. Did not get to see as much sunset due to the mountains.

It was the perfect welcome activity for the family! The cruise was relaxing, the crew very friendly. It rained very briefly which was ok because it gave us a beautiful rainbow. We loved the magical sunset colours.

The pick up point was very accessible, right on Waikiki beach which is just walking distance from our hotel (and most hotels). Prepare to get your feet and/or legs wet when boarding and getting off but it was part of the experience! The price is also reasonable and allows you to bring drinks of your choice.

Would do it again if we’re back.

This was my first time participating. I felt really good with the free drinks, and when I went to the front of the boat, I got soaked from the waves. However, everyone else participating was also wearing happy smiles and was very friendly, which made me feel even better. The weather was great that day, and I got to see the most beautiful sunset. I decided that I would participate again next time. Thank you!

今回、初めて参加しました。フリードリンクでとても気分良くなり、船の前方まで行くと、波を直に浴びてびしょ濡れになりましたが、参加されてる他の方々もみんなハッピーな笑顔でとてもフレンドリーでさらに気分が上がりました。この日は天候も良く最高に綺麗な夕日が見れました。次回もまた参加しようと思いました。ありがとうございました！
