All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We went as a family with our 4-year-old daughter. Since we included transportation to and from the hotel, we felt安心 (at ease) during our trip. We were able to see whales three times. The view from the sea was also very beautiful, so we were glad we participated.

４歳娘を連れて家族で行きました。
ホテルまでの送迎も付けたので行き帰りも安心でした。
クジラも３回見られました。
海からの景色もとても綺麗なので、参加して良かったです。

Great staff. They made us feel safe and welcome. Provided a fun environment with information, jokes and help with photos.
Will come back and do it again.

I had a reservation for the last event of the season on April 15, 2024, but due to rain, the boat could not go out. I was contacted and given the option to reschedule for another day or receive a refund. Since I had some flexibility in my itinerary, I requested to reschedule for April 16 if possible, and they agreed to operate the boat on that day as well!

I wanted my 2-year-old son, who loves whales and dolphins, to see these natural creatures, so I rescheduled. On the day of the trip, it was sunny and we were able to set sail, and we saw both whales and dolphins, which was wonderful! The English guide provided thorough information, and it was an interesting experience!

However, be careful as the address for the meeting point provided in the voucher and on the website was incorrect. If you rely on the address, you will end up at the far end of the harbor. The correct meeting point is at Pink Sails Waikiki, which you can find by searching; it’s located just before the harbor, where you turn right at the first road (with hotels on your right and continuing straight past the boats on your left). If you are traveling with small children, it can be quite a hassle, so please be cautious!

今季最後の開催日である2024/4/15に予約をしていましたが、雨天で船が出せないことに。別日に振替か返金かを選べると連絡がありました。
旅程に余裕があったため、可能なら4/16に振り替えたいと連絡すると、予定になかった4/16も船を出してくれることに！
クジラとイルカが好きな2歳の息子に自然の生き物を見せたかったので、振り替えました。当日は無事に晴れて出航できたし、クジラもイルカも見られてとてもよかったです！
英語ガイドも丁寧な内容で、興味深い体験が出来ました！

ただ、バウチャーやべるとら上で事前に連絡されていた集合場所の住所が違っていたので要注意です。
住所を頼りに行くと、ハーバーの一番奥に到着してしまいます。正しい集合場所はピンクセイルズワイキキで検索して出てくる、ハーバーの1番手前の道を右に曲がったところ（右手にホテル郡、左に船を見て真っ直ぐ進んだ先）です。
小さいお子さん連れの場合、かなりの労力を浪費することになるのでご注意ください！

The best way to end our Mother Daughter vacation is with a sunset & fireworks on the water!
Three Tiki did a great job reassuring our experience even though the weather was not great. Captain Mark? did a great job sailing and keeping us safe and mostly dry! LOL
The crew was great from start to finish. Friendly and accommodating they provided a cooler and ice for our BYOB.
The location was easy to find and had a great staging area with food trucks and firepits that were great after our cruise.
Overall, very happy with our experience and will definitely refer others to enjoy a memorable evening with Three Tikis

First of all, the waiter who attended us was very attentive and had just the right amount of brightness without being pushy. The dinner was delicious, and many people of all ages seemed to be quite full. When the fireworks started, everyone moved to the side to watch, and the boat tilted noticeably. But apparently, that's okay. The live performance was wonderful, and the MC singer was good too! For those on the Five Star, you go up to the fourth floor, but there was a smoking area outside on the same floor, which was appreciated by smokers who feel a bit out of place. Also... the inside of the boat is cold!!! Perhaps because Westerners tend to have a higher body temperature than Japanese people... if you're attending in a sleeveless, thin dress, it might get really chilly, so please be careful.

まず、ついてくれたウエイターの方はよく気がつくし、しつこくないくらいの明るさで丁度良かったです。
ディナーも美味しく老若男女割とお腹いっぱいになっていた方が多かったです。
花火が始まると皆さま一斉に花火側へ移動されるので、分かりやすいくらい船が傾いてました。笑
が、大丈夫だそうです。
生演奏も素敵でしたしMCの歌い手の方もgoodでした！
ファイブスターの方は四階へ上がりますが同フロアの外に喫煙所がありました。
肩身の狭い喫煙者には有り難かったです。
後…船内は寒いです！！！
欧米の方々は、日本人より体温が高めだからか…
ノースリ薄手のワンピで参加となると、めちゃくちゃ冷えるかもなのでお気を付けてください。

From start to finish the staff was all engaging and professional. They worked through any language barriers and got everyone set up for the cruise. The size of the boat and number of people on board was just right, intimate but still lively and fun. There was plenty of room onboard to move around and never felt crowded. The views were gorgeous throughout. When the water got a little choppy, the back of the boat was still calm. Just a great time made better by the crew, would definitely go again.

There were only the two of us, a couple, among the Japanese people, and at first, we were quietly speaking English. The atmosphere was great from the beginning, and we started with a toast with Mai Tai. Before the sunset, we unexpectedly enjoyed whale watching, which made the experience even more exciting. The captain was very kind, allowing us to take photos together at the helm. During the final sunset, everyone got so carried away that they didn't care about anything else. Although I don't speak much English, a few people nearby reached out to us, and we were able to communicate and take pictures together, making it a very enjoyable time for both of us after a long while.

日本人は私たち夫婦の2人だけで、始めは英語が飛び交っておとなしくしていました。始めから雰囲気がよく、まずはマイタイで乾杯。サンセットの前に思いもよらないクジラウォッチングで、一段と盛り上がりました。写真も船長の操縦席で一緒に取らせてもらったりととても親切です。最後のサンセットのときは、盛り上がりすぎてみんなそんなのお構いなしでした。英語はあまり話せませんが、近くの何組かの人たちに声掛けしてもらい、コミニュケーションも取れ一緒に写メったりと久々に夫婦ともどもとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

If you want to take a break from the walking, shopping, and hotel hustle and bustle around Waikiki I suggest a sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu.

The five star experience on the top deck Nova Room is a relaxing evening filled with well-made bar drinks, superior cuisine, piano and mood music, and sparkling views of coastal O'ahu.

The Nova Room experience is a step above the normal pricing for the cruise, but is a good value for all you receive.

I especially enjoyed the time to talk and relax with my wife, to enjoy the coastal scenery, and to savor the various courses of the dinner as described in the promotional materials.

The service was excellent throughout the evening and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Nova Room experience on the forth deck of the Star of Honolulu.

If you are looking for something to do while visiting Waikiki, this is definitely an activity to book. Beautiful views, the staff was great, the music was awesome and the drinks were flowing!

We participated as a couple over the age of 60. Since we were there, we decided to go to the top floor. We dressed in a way that didn't require us to touch the code. By the window, there were couples from various countries who seemed to be newlyweds, immersed in their own world, while the center seats were mostly families enjoying their meals, the scenery, and jazz. During the Memorial Day event, there was a sense of unity in celebration, but everyone enjoyed themselves at their own pace at their respective tables. Of course, we also had a leisurely and relaxed time.

The entrance to the stern was close, and it was great to see the fireworks as well as the hotel buildings on both sides. After the fireworks, when I held the door to keep it from closing like a doorman, everyone thanked me. Even a Japanese person said thank you, and we all laughed together as we realized we were fellow passengers. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. My wife was also satisfied and very happy. Unfortunately, there was no welcome from the captain. I hope for improvement in that area. This year, I would like to try a different deck.

還暦を過ぎた夫婦２人で参加しました。折角ならと最上階へ。コードに触れない程度の服装で参加しました。窓際は新婚さんと思しき各国のカップルさんが、自分達の世界に浸り、センター席はファミリーが多く思い思いに食事、風景、ジャズを楽しんでいました。メモリアルデーイベントでは、お祝いで一体感となりましたが、各自のテーブルごとそれぞれのペースで楽しんでいました。勿論我々ものんびり、ゆったりの時間でした。

船尾への出入り口が近く、花火は勿論、ホテル群が左右に見渡せ良かったです。
花火の後、ドアマンの如くドアが閉まるのを抑えていたら、皆さんにサンキュウと言われました。日本人の方にも言われ、乗客の一人ですとお互い大笑いでした。
料理は美味しく、量も丁度良かったです。妻も満足し、大変喜んでいました。
残念ながら、船長出迎えは有りませんでした。改善を望みます。
今年は別のデッキにトライしたいと思います。

We enjoyed the cruise very much very enjoyable nice weather

I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming alongside us for a long time. The whales were quite elusive, but we managed to spot one in the distance after continuing to move the boat. It seems that there are significant differences in sightings depending on the day.

Along with sunscreen, motion sickness medication is essential. When heading out to search for whales, the waves can be quite rough, and it can be pretty scary until you get used to it. There were even children who fell inside the boat. The guide was speaking in English and kept cracking quite a few dad jokes. I recommend this for those who aren't afraid of the ocean's swaying!

イルカの群れも並走し長く見ることができました。
鯨はなかなかあらわれずでしたが、
がんばって船を動かしつづけ最後遠くにですが、見ることができました。
日によって見れる時と見れない時の差がはげしいようです。

日焼け止めとともに、
酔い止めは必須です。鯨をさがし沖にむかいつきすすむときは揺れが激しく、
慣れるまではかなり怖いです。中で転んでいる子供もいました。
ガイドのお兄さんは英語ですが、かなりなオヤジギャグを連発でした。
海の揺れが怖くない！って方にはおすすめです。

I decided to go whale watching at my father's request. After comparing several tours, I chose this one. The whale watching tours offer small, medium, and large boats, and I opted for the large boat this time due to concerns about seasickness. I wondered if I would get seasick, but I didn't at all. I was worried because the guide only spoke English, but even I, who don't understand English at all, was able to enjoy it! There were many whales, and I was moved to see more than I had imagined. The boat has four levels, and I enjoyed the different views from each floor. I also appreciated the shuttle service to the boat.

父の希望でホエールウォッチングに行くことに。
何個かのツアーと比較して、こちらに決定。
ホエールウォッチングのツアーには小型船、中型船、大型船とあり、こちらは大型船のツアー。
今回は船酔いを心配して大型にしました。
船酔いするかな？と思ったけど、全然そんなことありませんでした。
ガイドは英語のみなので心配しましたが、英語をまったく理解出来ない私でも楽しめました！
クジラもたくさん来ていて、想像以上にたくさんのクジラを見ることが出来て感動。
こちらの船は1階から4階まであって、それぞれの階で見たのですが、見え方が違ってそれも楽しめました。
船までの送迎があるのもありがたかったです。

This was my first time participating with my family of seven. It was easy to make a reservation on the day, the staff were very friendly, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a very enjoyable experience.

今回初めて家族7人で参加させていただきました。予約も当日、簡単に取れスタッフがとても親切で、天候にも恵まれ非常に楽しかったです。

I wasn't very confident participating because I don't understand English well, but the cruise while viewing the Diamond Head from the boat and the sunset scenery became a wonderful memory! The Mai Tai cocktail was also delicious! I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

英語があまりわからずで参加でしたので少し不安がありましたが、船から見るダイヤモンドベッドや、夕日が沈む景色を見ながらのクルーズは素敵な思い出になりました！カクテルのマイタイも美味しかった！ハワイに行った時はまた参加したいです！

Delish dinner with great view points out your window the whole night!

Outstanding! A great crew, wonderful vibe and energy. We loved seeing the fireworks from the Catamaran. Would highly recommend!

My friends and i had a great time. staff was nice.

It can get very chilly.. be careful with the splash zone as well! Overall, the view was fantastic! We saw a full rainbow and everyone was all vibing together, enjoying the scenery. All of the members were very helpful and entertaining, they made sure everyone was having a great time. Drinks were pretty good, definitely hold onto your drinks, this booze cruise can get rocky!

This was a fun island activity and a romantic dinner for two. Other passengers also looked to be having a great time. The best part of the cruise was the opportunity to see the waikiki beach from the water. The weather cooperated and we also had a beautiful sunset. All of the food was picture perfect and tasty but smaller portions than I expected and it was certainly the smallest maine lobster I have ever seen. The upstairs on the ship was set up like a very nice restaurant, white tablecloths and the wait staff were in black suits - very fancy. The wait staff was polite and as professional as could be but as far as I could tell there was only one waiter for the entire top section this made getting drinks a bit slow. The jazz music was mostly just piano and was too loud for the room the piano had a microphone set up and it seems like it could have been turned down a notch. I shouldn't have to strain to hear the person I'm eating with who it just across the table, the couple next to us made the same comment about the volume. The singer on the other hand was wonderful and had a beautiful voice. My expectation was there would be some mellow jazz playing while we were eating, I suppose the singer had to provide some entertainment on one of the other decks while the piano played upstairs. All in all an okay experience but the photo ads and descriptions are playing it up a bit. Again best part of the voyage was the view.

Although the weather may impact your experience on this cruise, the crew doesn't let it get in the way of making it fun! The music blastic, if the rain is pouring they will make sure the boat feels the waves so that everyone can groove!

Everyone loved the ride and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu from way past the swimming point of the shore! The crew is entertaining and fun!

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

We saw humpback whale was breathing from the upper deck. Captain and the crew did a great job to trace the whale after the first sight. Good experience and learned a lot about humpback whale.

Joined morning whale watching cruise by Star of Honolulu. The cruise started from detailed explanation of naturist, and my sons enjoyed listening to the facts about humpback whales before actually seeing it afterwards.
We saw the whale right after departing the port and captain maneuver the ship very well so that we could chase and see the whale several times. Unfortunately the whale was not so entertaining this time and we couldn’t see live actions like tail slap or bleaching.
Still we’ve enjoyed the whale watching including the hospitality of the clue.
Good to know they will give another chance for free if you cannot see whale during the cruise.
Great experience for winter Hawaii visit!

It was a comfortable cruise, possibly due to the large ship, as my wife, who easily gets seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, didn't feel any nausea at all. There were times when I could feel the ship swaying up and down, but we were so engrossed in searching for whale spouts that it was completely fine. For those who are anxious, I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication before boarding. During our whale search, although they were far away, we were able to see the spouts, dorsal fins, and parts of the bodies multiple times, which was very satisfying. It was impressive to see them seemingly jump as well. The captain and the female tour guide had such warm personalities that it felt great from the morning greeting. The peppermint rain we received when we got off was so delicious that I wish they would sell it. It was such a fulfilling experience that I even thought about going again the next day. From my husband's perspective, the power of the planes taking off and landing from the nearby airport was incredible, allowing us to enjoy both at once, which was the best. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

まずは酔い止めを飲んでも酔いやすい妻がまったく船酔いしなかったくらい、大型船というのもあったのか快適なクルーズでした。時には上下に揺れてるなという感覚はあるけどクジラの潮吹き探しに夢中になり全然大丈夫だったとのことです。不安な方は酔い止めを飲んでから乗った方がもちろん良いと思います。そのクジラ探しでは遠くではあったものの何度も潮吹きからの尾ビレや一部のボディも見れて大満足でした。ジャンプまでしたように見えたのが印象的でした。キャプテンも添乗員の女性の方も人柄が滲み出ていて朝の挨拶から気持ちよかったです。降りる時にいただいたハッカの雨がとても美味しくて販売して欲しいなとなってます。めちゃくちゃ充実していたので次の日も行こうと思ったくらいです。夫の私的には近くの飛行場から離着陸する飛行機の迫力も凄まじく一度に二つ楽しめて最高でした。次回ハワイに来た時も必ず行かせていただきます。

Our evening on the Star of Honolulu was an excellent experience! Ample parking was easy and accessible with 2 lots within walking distance. The check-in process was a breeze, make sure your voucher is ready. Waiting to board we were entertained with local dancers and music. Time to board! We were sorted by class and our trip to the top deck was a nice elevator ride up. We were seated at a nice intimate table with large window perfect for viewing. First on the table was a charcuterie board with tasty cheeses, meats and fruit. Don’t forget the champagne! As the cruise got underway were able to chat with the guests seated next to us. The dancers and singers provided more entertainment as we departed. The music throughout the night was relaxing.

On our journey to view the sunset in front of Diamon Head we encountered some whales! A happy surprise. The lobster course was delicious. We were treated to a sorbet course in the middle of our dining experience which was tasty. The food was flavorful and appetizing. Delicious! During the trip you are able to take many great pictures and they even have a photographer on standby.

The sunset was amazing as well as the views from the Waikiki area. The journey home was more intimate and with the lowered light and live jazz music. Dancing is also encouraged. The cheesecake dessert did not disappoint. The journey was full of memories and was the perfect end to an amazing time in Hawaii. Overall this cruise is very recommended to anyone looking for memories, delicious food and a wonderful evening.

Although it was from a distance, I was really satisfied to see a whale for the first time.

There were several whale watching boats, but I think it was a good choice to select the Star of Honolulu, as the smaller boats tend to sway quite a bit.

遠目ではありましたが初めてクジラを見れてすごく満足でした


数隻ホエールウォッチングの船がありましたが小さい船は結構揺れるのでスターオブホノルル号を選択して良かったと思いました。

The scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. The Mai Tai was very delicious and since it was all-you-can-drink, I had quite a few. Everyone was cheerful and having a great time. When boarding, you enter the water a little, so shorter clothes might be better. Many people wore shorts. It felt a bit chilly, so I think it's good to have something to throw on. It was truly a wonderful time. I plan to use this again.

景色も雰囲気も最高でした。
マイタイがとても美味しく飲み放題なのでたくさん頂きました。
皆酔っぱらって陽気で楽しかったです。
乗船するとき海に少し入るので、短めの服がいいかも。
ショートパンツの方が多かったです。
肌寒く感じるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
本当に素敵な時間です。
また利用しようと思います。

The Friday sunset and firework cruise by Three Tiki Sailing was outstanding. The crew was fabulous and even took us to see some whales that were close by. There were plenty of great seats and lots of great picture opportunities. The crew was more than happy to take several selfies of my wife and I. I would highly recommend this tour.

The crew was so friendly and welcoming. My roommates and I went on our last day in Hawaii and it was definitely a highlight.
