All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

From the moment we got on the boat, and until we made our way back onto the beach, we had an amazing time on this booze cruise. The views are perfect, the drinks were strong and tasty, and the seating was surprisingly comfy. Def need to give a shout out to the awesome captain and crew who were on it with taking pictures and offering drinks. Can't wait to go back!

My wife and I enjoyed the sunset cruise. Although it was an issue or two, they should try to be resolved the last time I took the cruise. I was able to be out on the outside on the deck at the sunset. Got to take some amazing pictures . This time we are in line for the buffet when is sunset. I think the time should be adjusted if the time is earlier when the sun sets. The whole purpose of a sunset cruise is to be able to watch the sunset and not be called to the buffet table to get your meal. My wife really enjoyed the Buffay food. She said it was very good as a picky eater. She ate a little bit of everything and enjoyed it.

I will verify the timing of other cruises before I would take the cruise again as the whole purpose was to be able to watch the sun set

crew were great. everyone had a great time even the seniors and uptights. just know you will get your feet wet boarding the boat. other than that if you don’t have an amazing time that’s all you because this boat and crew are well worth the proce

There were 2-3 Japanese people, but it was a great multicultural experience and became a wonderful memory. Watching the fireworks right in front of us was absolutely fantastic.

日本人は2-3名でしたが多国籍感満載で参加していい思い出になりました。
真正面で花火が観れるのは最高に良かった

We were a little apprehensive about getting a boat from the sandy beach, but it was all beautifully managed and we enjoyed a really good trip and a lovely sunset.
We were able to sit still and enjoy the drink and nibbles we had brought with us, while others enjoyed moving around onto the net to enjoy being really near the water. Even a little child under one year was there!
I would recommend this to anyone. A few steps through water and up into the boat led to a wonderful trip.

Pick-up was perfect, complimentary Mai Tai was lovely, but the sunset was hard to savour in the middle of queuing, collecting food and eating! The food was okay.
We chose the trip for the sunset and traditional dancing, but the dancing was evidently lovely BUT hard to see as the girls were not raised up and one needed to look round other people and tables.
We had a nice wander to the top of the boat which was great! BUT the ‘entertainment’ was done by a guitarist who couldn’t sing above a certain pitch and girls who followed his very out of tune singing. I suppose the other passengers got up and took part, as they felt that was expected but we found that part excruciating!
Overall not worth the money.

Went on a Friday, the boat was crowded and the seating was shoulder to shoulder. I could not really see the show from where I was seated I just had to listen to it and get a glimpse whenever I could. The fireworks were nice but EVERYONE on the boat was trying to see them so you have to get out of your seat early to get a good spot to see.

On the last day of our family trip to Hawaii, we decided to participate in this activity to create some memories. I had been on a catamaran a few times in Hawaii (with another company), but it was the first time for my husband and our 2-year-old daughter.

There aren't many activities available for children, so the fact that our daughter could join us for free was a deciding factor.

The meeting point was inside the Outrigger Reef. It was beautifully renovated, and the Holokai counter was easy to find. We got a little lost with the map provided, but the hotel staff kindly helped us.

From there, we walked to the boarding area near Halekulani.

Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of our trip, but just as the sun was setting, a gap in the clouds appeared, creating a truly wonderful memory.

Here are a few concerns that led to a four-star rating:

【Concerns】
- When we boarded, we were the only Japanese among about 30 people. It was fun to experience the international atmosphere, but the crew members did not speak Japanese, so those who are concerned about this should take note.

- The boat allows drinking. We chose not to drink, but the first drink is included at no extra charge! The international guests were drinking a lot and having a great time. Families with children or those who are not comfortable with drinking should be cautious.

- My husband and daughter got seasick. Depending on the weather, the waves were quite high and the boat rocked a bit. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking medication is a must! Also, please be aware that the ride lasts about an hour and a half.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and we could feel the fun atmosphere from everyone on board. I think it would be good to compare prices as catamaran rates vary by company.

ハワイへの家族旅行最終日に、思い出になればと思い参加を決めました。私はハワイで何度かカタマラン（別の会社主催の方）に乗ったことがありましたが、夫と2歳の娘は初めてでした。
娘が参加できるアクティビティがなかなかないので、子どもは料金がかからず一緒に楽しめることも決め手になりました。

集合場所はアウトリガーリーフ内。綺麗にリニューアルされており、ホロカイのカウンターもわかりやすかったです。案内の地図で少し迷いましたが、ホテルの方が丁寧に教えてくれました。

そこからハレクラニ横まで徒歩で移動して乗船します。

当日はあいにく曇りでしたが、日が沈む瞬間は雲の間ができ、すごく素敵な思い出となりました。

以下、少し懸念される点がありましたので星4つになります。

【懸念点】
・私達が乗船した際は、30人ほどのうち日本人は私達だけでした。海外の雰囲気を味わえて楽しかったですが、乗務員さんも日本語は話せない方なので気にする方はぜひ。

・飲酒可能な船です。私たちはお酒がのめないので選びませんでしたが、一杯目は追加料金なくお酒を楽しめます！海外の皆さんはたくさん飲んで大変盛り上がっていました。
子連れやお酒のノリが苦手な方は、注意が必要かもしれません。

・夫、娘は船酔いしてしまいました。天候にもよるかと思いますが、沖合は割と波も高く揺れました。苦手な方は酔い止め必須です！また、1時間半ほど乗るのでお気をつけください。


全体として非常に楽しく、海外の雰囲気を一緒に乗船されたみなさんからも感じられて、楽しいひとときとなりました！カタマラン船は料金も各社違うのでぜひ参考に比較いただくとよいかと思います。

Many people were visiting Hawaii for the first time, and we enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the sea. The sunset was beautiful, and it was the perfect start to an incredibly fun trip. Everyone was thrilled.

初めてのHawaiiの人が多く
海からみるワイキキを楽しみました。
サンセットもキレイで
最高に楽しい旅の始まりでした。
みんな大喜びでした。

The beautiful sunset and the lovely sea
Unlike the hustle and bustle of Waikiki,
I was able to relax and enjoy my time.
I would love to join again when I come to Hawaii.

キレイな夕日ときれいな海
ワイキキの喧騒とちがって
のんびりと過ごせました
ハワイに来たらまた参加したいです。

Yesterday I decided to just get away to Waikiki for some fun on the water and I had the pleasure of having 2 awesome experiences. Everyone was was very nice. Drinks were awesome and the crew was spectacular. I recommend as I will be sailing out with these awesome people again. Mahalo

Overall good experience, enjoyed venue , service and hawaiian dances Everyone seems to be in cheerful mood and in moments. As we are vegetarian- food was ok for us . Didn’t like patty prepared for us from Soya . I will recommend overall as memorable experience.

This was one of the best parts of our trip! Beautiful views, fun crew and good times. I highly recommend adding it to your vacation!

The ride on the catamaran at mild temperatures with nice people and free soft drinks was very romantic. The price-performance ratio is right.

However, a certain degree of mobility is required to get on and off the boat.

Unfortunately the music is too loud. You have to like that.

Ruined by 3 drinking moms. There was an announcement to refrain from standing on the benches. 3 drinking moms stood as soon as the fireworks started and blocked our view. None of the crew reminded them to sit so others could enjoy the fireworks. The fireworks were not very high as they are for other shows I have been to. The captain could have turned the boat so they were not in the front towards the fireworks and give others a chance to see. The crew was nice, played music, and appeared to want everyone to have a good time.

Very beautiful! Drinks were good and we enjoyed the crew

Seeing the beautiful sunset from the boat was amazing, but before that, I enjoyed swimming in the sea and jumping off the boat. In the end, I was very satisfied to see the sunset over the Diamond Bed and the night view. I highly recommend it.

船からの綺麗な夕日ご見れるのも最高ですが、その前の海では泳いだり船からの飛び込んだりして楽しめました。
最後は夕暮れのダイヤモンドベッドや夜景も見れて大満足でオススメです。

Ya better book ahead for this one ! Cocktail sailing was super !
The view along the coast was beautiful as was the sunset .The boat ride itself was well worth the money and the staff/crew were entertaining and we had a memorable time .
Every sunset is different in Hawaii .All the colours of the water, sky and being out on the water...it made a wonderful way to finish our day .

Great way to end our trip. Crew were friendly and drinks were essentially endless. Beautiful views of the sunset and city.

We departed from the beach in front of the Sheraton Hotel, just a stone's throw away from the hotel, about 80 minutes before sunset. The catamaran can accommodate around 20 to 30 people. We turned around after passing the beautifully illuminated Diamond Head at sunset. Cruising while sipping a Mai Tai and enjoying the sunset is an absolutely wonderful experience!

泊まったホテルから目と鼻の先、シェラトンホテル前のビーチから、日没約80分前に出発しました。カタマラン型のヨットには、20〜30人くらい乗れます。夕日が美しく映えるダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎた辺りでUターン。マイタイ・ドリンクを飲みつつ、サンセットを眺めながらのクルージングは最高に気持ちが良いものです！

The friendly staff really gets everyone in a great mood. Watching the fireworks from a prime spot is the best. I'm engraving the view of Waikiki's night scenery into my heart during the cruise.
Be careful of the waves when boarding and disembarking; you might trip.

フレンドリーなstaff 皆でノリノリになります。花火を特等席で観られて、最高です。ワイキキの夜景を観ながらのクルージング目に心に焼き付けています。
乗船、下船する時、波に気を付けましょう、足元がすくわれます。

We had the best time with our group of 12 on the sunset catamaran cruise. Meet up at the hotel was easy to find. Boarding the boat was quick and efficient the ride out was a little choppy but we laughed our way thru the bumps a couple people were nauseous so if you get nauseous easily take something before.. The drinks were great and the bar service was too! They had a variety of drinks including local beer. The views were amazing. We took great pictures and enjoyed the sunset. I highly recommend and would definitely do it again

Overall an enjoyable sunset cruise but a bit rushed boarding the boat. We were served and eating our meal while the boat was still in dock. Our meal was the first out and surrounding tables took a while before theirs came out. Our crab leg shells were soft and impossible to crack open. Otherwise the food was enjoyable. Entertainment was fun and lively. I would recommend this experience.

Great cruise, all staff, especially our service assistant, were extremely pleasant, professional, and efficient. A very good buffet with carved roast beef, delicious chicken and fish, everything. Fireworks show a bit difficult. In order to see it well people had to run to one side of the ship, not only tilting the ship a bit but making it even more difficult for people who didn't want to dash to the side to see. This was only a minor observation.

Loved the thought process here, but overall, kind of crowded. Our waiter had too many tables or he was just slow. Not sure. Food was ok, didn’t go home hungry. Music was great and the final show was awesome.

Cute small sailboat! Not too windy the day we went but still good ride! They had friends on board so they stopped and let anyone swim! I was bummed I wasn’t prepared for that cause I love the water! People in charger were nice and friendly! Thank you!

And great crew! Fantastic views. This sunset cruise will not disappoint!

We were a tarty of 4 (two couple) from California:
1. Overall impression is okay but not great because the steak was served cold and chewy.
2. Dancing activities are great!

I think there are several catamarans, but the 1.5-hour ride was just right. The reception was easy to find as it was located on the 1st floor of the Outrigger Reef Hotel. The staff maintained a good distance, which I appreciated. The boat also had a restroom. I was worried about seasickness, but it was a clear day with calm waves, so I didn't get splashed and enjoyed a pleasant breeze during the fun cruising. Although I didn't see any sea turtles or dolphins, I was very satisfied with the views of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea. I definitely recommend experiencing this at least once.

カタマランはいくつかあるかと思うのですが、乗船時間が1時間半なのが丁度良かったです。受付もアウトリガーリーフホテル1Fにお店が入っていて分かりやすかったです。スタッフの方も良い距離感で、有り難かったです。船にはお手洗いもありました。船酔いが心配でしたが、快晴で波も静かな日だったので、海水が掛かることもなく、気持ち良い風を感じて楽しいクルージングでした。ホヌやイルカは見れませんでしたが、海からのホノルルやダイヤモンドヘッドを見れて大満足です。是非一度体験して欲しいです。

The perfect sunset cruise! Beautiful view of Honolulu. Great buffet and great crew. Great live music and Luau performance. Nice experience to share with family and friends.
Dinner food was superb also, you get a free drink (Mai Tai) on the house.
The top deck is a great spot for pictures and videos of sunset and Waikiki Beach.
We had such a Great time.
