The views were worth it. Didn’t really like the food. Opt out of photo as you will have time to go around the ship and take your own photos free of charge.

Worth the money for a short cruise.
Activity Date: 2022/09/16 | Posted on: 2022/10/08

This is an inexpensive booze cruise with Beer and Mai Tai's.
Just a short trip straight out and back.
Crew were excellent at getting drinks, taking pics or whatever you needed.

What an enjoyable evening! Beautiful view, nice cuts of meat prepared deliciously, fun entertainment and we met some wonderful people. What a small world, met some folks from a nearby city back home. Strongly encourage you to book a special night- no regrets!

Enjoy the night view and fireworks of Waikiki with a glass of wine!
ワイキキの夜景と花火をワイン片手に!
Activity Date: 2022/09/30 | Posted on: 2022/10/06

This is my third time participating. The fireworks themselves are short, so I think it's better to approach it with the mindset that you can see the fireworks during the night cruising. They anchor the boat so that you can see the fireworks from any seat. The staff is always friendly and enjoyable. The view of the fireworks from the sea along with the night scenery of Waikiki... I think it's a great value.

今回3回目の参加です。花火そのものは短いのであくまでナイトクルージングに花火が見られる、という気持ちでいた方良いと思います。どこの席に座っても花火が見えるように停泊してくれます。スタッフもいつも楽しく感じよく。海から眺める花火とワイキキの夜景・・・ お値打ちだと思います。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show
It was just okay.
Activity Date: 2022/09/30 | Posted on: 2022/10/03

It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.

Beyond expectations cruising
期待以上のクルージング
Activity Date: 2022/09/09 | Posted on: 2022/10/02

We were enjoying a lively cruise with the captain's MC and the people around us, but as the sun began to set, the atmosphere turned quietly romantic.

As the sun sank lower, we thought we saw a large airship rising in the east, but it turned out to be a giant full moon. At that moment, a couple appeared to propose with a ring, and the excitement on the ship reached a peak.

In the end, the evening was capped off with a small fireworks display, reminiscent of bidding farewell to summer.

船長のMCのもと周りの人達とワイワイ言いながらクルージングを楽しんでいましたが、やがて日が暮れてくるとしんみりロマンチックな雰囲気に。

さらに、日が沈んでいくにつれ、東に大きな飛行船が上がってきた?と思ったら、それは巨大な満月でした。
そこで、指輪を差し出して結婚を申し込みするカップルも現れ、船内は大盛り上り。

最後は、ゆく夏を惜しむがごとき小さめの花火で締め括られました。

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation
Just outside Waikiki, way less crowded
Activity Date: 2022/04/27 | Posted on: 2022/09/29

This sunset sail is outside of Waikiki. We loved the 2-hour cruise and opted for the open-bar option. The catamaran was pretty spacious and is a docked catamaran (walk right from the pier to the boat) instead of a beach catamaran like many of the Waikiki ones. The crew was really friendly. Would recommend getting the souvenir cup! It comes with a lid so you don't spill your drink when it gets a little windy and makes a fun souvenir.

Waikiki Sunset Dinner & Fireworks Sail with Cocktails - Spirit of Aloha Cruises
Sunset + City lights + Fireworks
Activity Date: 2022/07/22 | Posted on: 2022/09/29

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.

I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.

If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.

Overall, great cruise! So much fun!

We really enjoyed the sunset catamaran cruise - amazing views of the water & Waikiki coastline with enough Mai Tais & Coronas to go around for everyone. Some bumpy moments so I would not recommend if you are prone to seasickness. Overall we had a really amazing time and I would definitely do it again!

Even though it rained during our cruise we still had a great time because of the crew memebrs! Affordable great drinks (1 was free) and good music! Definitely recommend booking through them and will do it again when we come back to Hawaii! Shout out to Sarah for giving her rain jacket to the lady next to me so she wouldn't get wet!

I read the reviews and trusted everyone's comments about how great it was, so I signed up. It was amazing! Since I was staying at the Sheraton, it only took 5 minutes to get to the boarding area from my room. We had to wait quite a while until departure, but it was fine even if we were cutting it close. We sped out into the ocean, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. After 6 o'clock, the sunset turned the sky red, and it was stunning.

口コミを読んで、皆さんの最高という感想を信じて、申込ました。最高でした!
シェラトンに泊まっていたので、部屋から5分で乗り場まで行けます。出航までかなり待ちました。ギリギリでも大丈夫です。風をきって、かなり沖まで走ります。海から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドはとてもキレイです。6時過ぎからサンセットで空が赤くなりキレイです。

スタッフさんの配慮、おもてなし、クルーズそのもの、最高!
Activity Date: 2022/09/23 | Posted on: 2022/09/26

Typically, the seats of other people are right next to you, and since everyone is not wearing masks, if you are concerned about COVID, the restrictions in Japan are completely different, so at the very least, wearing a mask is necessary.
I attended alone, but considering my seating, I was allowed to sit in a special reserve seat and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The colors of the sunset were indescribable, a pink hue that is rarely seen in Japan, and it dyed the sea that color as well.
Since we set sail while it was still bright, the view of the buildings in Waikiki and the mountains behind them from the ocean was fantastic, and especially the night view after it got dark was amazing.
The cruise lasts for two hours until the fireworks start, so you can really enjoy it.

通常であれば他の人の席はすぐ横で、皆さん、マスク等もしていないので、コロナを気にされるなら、日本での制限状況とは全く違うので、最低限マスクは必要です。
一人での参加だったのですが、席を考えていただき、特別の予備席に座らせていただき満喫できました。
夕焼けの色はなんとも言えない日本ではなかなか見れないピンク色で海までそのピ色に染まってました。
明るいうちから出港するので、沖から眺めるワイキキの建物と後ろの山々の景色は最高で、とりわけ暗くなってからの夜景も最高です。
クルーズの時間が花火が上がるまでの2時間あるので、かなり満喫できます。

Very touristy and packed. Must do ONE time experience
Activity Date: 2022/09/02 | Posted on: 2022/09/24

Go on a Friday to catch the Friday night fireworks sponsored by Hilton Hawaiian Village. Usually after dinner is done, and while the performers entertain, guests usually hangout by the side rail outside the dining area, or at the top deck to get good seating/viewing spots until the fireworks. Otherwise, food was mediocre good (we had the crab, steak, and mashed potatoes deal) and complimentary Mai Tai was too sweet with little to no alcohol. Dessert was brought out while guests were in the deck plates. It was between the boat cruise or a luau....we should've tried the luau.

Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open Bar Included - Holokai Catamaran
Really fun time!
Activity Date: 2022/09/06 | Posted on: 2022/09/24

This tour was really fun! I've been to Oahu multiple times but my fiance hasn't. So we decided to try some fun new stuff out. I've never done a sunset tour. Our group on the boat was fun and slightly reserved, which is fine by me! The crew was great! It's only 2 guys but they make it fun with passing out drinks and starting up convos. I get sea sick and forgot to take my motion meds before we took off from the beach. Going out the water was exceptionally choppy and the waves were big the further out you got. I had to stand up and by the railing to make sure if I had to vomit it wouldn't go on me or anyone else. The meds finally kicked in on the way back and the water also smoothed out coming back in so I was perfectly fine to start talking to people and getting my moneys worth of drinks in me. This cruise is for everyone! There was one young girl (underage) who stayed up in front of the boat on the netting and got soaked and enjoyed every min of it. There was two older ladies (I mean like 75-85 years in age who needed more assistance getting on the boat and off and around the boat at times and the two guys who run the boat were perfect gentlemen helping them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Also the music was good! I'd recommend this to everyone and anyone wanting to enjoy a sunset cruise!

Getting to the boarding area takes some time, and even though drinks are included once you're on board, you can't really enjoy them on the deck. There wasn't much to see on the way to the fireworks location, and it would have been nice if there was a bit more fun along the way.
