All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Getting to see the scenery of Oahu from a boat was very beautiful, especially the sunset! I would definitely recommend this for those who just want to have a bit of fun, while enjoying the scenery. Ideally, it’s best if everyone was 21+ since you get free drinks from the moment you get on the boat. Something that I would like to advise is that it is quite windy once the boat departs from the shore so hold onto your hats or anything that may fly! Another thing is to get on/off the boat, you will have to step in the water momentarily so be prepared to take off your shoes and wear shoes that you’re okay getting a bit wet. Other than that, the staff who ran the whole thing was very awesome and nice!

Crew was nice but overall boring experience. Music was boring, drinks were awful. Would not do this trip again.

Was a spectacular adventure! The views were spectacular and the crew were awesome!

It was so fun, everyone was so nice and the views were amazing. Be prepared to get a little wet- I would advise to wear a swimsuit because you can go swimming at the end. Have no doubts and do it!!

Friendly staff and outstanding views. The whole cruise was definitely worth the money!

My friends and I had an absolute blast!! The cocktails were delicious and there was fun music! We got gorgeous pictures and the crew was so nice! Highly recommend!

Fun and friendly crew, was an awesome time. Would definitely recommend if you are in Waikiki.

We had never been on a sailboat before. It was a wonderful experience. The crew was welcoming and funny. At 10:00 am, we didn't partake of the free booze, but still had a great time. The ride was fun. We got a little wet. And we saw turtles.

This was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much! The staff was friendly, the music was light and fun, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

This activity is for those who like to treated like a VIP. From arrival to departure, you feel like a special guest. This boat is enormous. 4 floors of dining & entertainment. The views from the 4th floor walk around area can’t be beat. The food is good and the drinks are outstanding. If you get cold easily, bring a light jacket. The dining area is air conditioned. Supposedly, you can see the Hawaiian Village fireworks on Friday nights. A great way to get some fantastic photos and memories.

Crew was amazingly fun and sunset was divine. Very glad I booked this for my trip!

Me and my husband enjoyed this cruise, they made our honeymoon full of fun!

What a wonderful evening! The men that worked the boat were entertaining and the views were spectacular! Highly recommend!

This is truly a 5-star luxury experience and the best Oahu sunset dinner cruise. From start to finish you are treated like royalty by friendly and helpful staff. We had the package that includes transportation to and from Waikiki and 4 drinks each (1 Captain's Bellini drink and 3 premium drink tickets). When you arrive you are greeted by dancers, the crew, and captains. You have an opportunity to meet the captains and get amazing photos before setting off on the cruise. The boat was very accessible with elevators to each of the decks. The 5-star luxury SuperNova deck is beautiful and spacious. You are treated to a 7-course dinner and live jazz trio band. At any point you are free to roam the private top deck area for incredible photos of Oahu, Waikiki, Diamond Head, ocean, and sunset. I would advise anyone who signs up for the 5-star luxury deck to wear the appropriate attire (business to formal). I don't think you would be allowed boarding with swimsuits or t-shirts. Dress pants, sneakers and collared shirts should be fine for men, but be aware some guests will dress very formal and be celebrating anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, etc. We highly recommend the 5-star luxury dinner experience as it was one of our favorite parts of our Hawaii trip.

the crew was friendly and we easily found our way to the table. The ship was clean while a bit snug easy to move around. We really thought the entertainment was well done and varied with polynesian dancers and jazz musicians. Our dinner was well presented and prepared.
The Deluxe 3 Star was the way to go.

it was a great first experience for me :) i was unsure on how sea sick i would get, but i didn't at all! it was nice to feel the breeze and see the clear blue waters with the nice sunset in the back. i would definitely recommend this experience for people to just enjoy an evening in O'ahu. I am definitely going to come back!

So let me say I felt it was relatively easy to book the outing. Finding parking not so much. However the boat was big bright and easy to locate. Red and yellow. Price was amazing for the trip type. I enjoyed the trip out to sea. Felt like an roller coaster ride lol three in one lol. Bartenders was amazing and funny. Would have a drink with him. Hella chill vibes I was a little nervous being an amputee. But your crew put me at ease and I can't wait till the next one I hope you offer private tours. Only thing I did not want to return to shore and we spotted a turtle yay! Epic day for my first tour.

I booked this sunset cruise trip as a get-away trip for me and my mum. My mum is 70 years old and she has bad knees so we have limited activities we can enjoy in Honolulu. The Star of Honolulu is probably the biggest cruise I can find in Oahu. It even has an elevator so my mum does not need to climb stairs!
I was super impressed with the service. As soon as we boarded the ship, we were brought to deck #4 through the elevator, this is the top deck. We were greeted by crew members, have our private photo opportunity with the captain and two beautiful dancers. we enjoyed our onboard drink and appetizer before being brought to our table. by the way we have six alcohol drink vouchers as part of the package. we had a five-course meal: soup, salad, lobster, wellington beef, icecream, and desertl food is absolutely delicious. this is absolutely five star luxury dinner. Most of people were celebrating anniversary, honeymoon or birthday. The crews are super friendly and attentive. When my mom and I walked to the deck to take sunset pictures, they came out to help us! I highly recommended the tour, it will make your the other half feel so special. My best memory of Honolulu.

Fun crew, windy evening. Music was more on the party side. I prefer softer music. But if you are 25-35, the party boat is for you. Still very nice time overall. Hawaii has the best sunsets…

Relaxing way to see Waikiki beach. Friendly crew. Cool breezes and ocean air.

The food , the music , the scenery , the service is great . I would definitely take the tour again we love it .

It was a beautiful evening on Mana Kai Catamaran out of Waikiki beach. We liked that it was BYOB and enjoyed the music played during the sailing. Please just note that this catamaran does leave right from the beach rather than a dock so plan accordingly. We had a great time though!

Loved the catamaran ride the most friendly staff when they tell you your going to get wet sitting on the front they are not kidding but I loved it Those free drinks not watered down like most other places

This was a super fun activity! The catamaran was amazing and had lots of space despite being full. The crew was sooo attentive, you never had to ask for a refill. They were also super nice and communicative. They played awesome music, and timed the trip back with the sunset perfectly. I was with a group of about 10 and we had an amazing time!

We had a ball Definitely book for good vibes and good Views. The crew aswell was very cool

We enjoyed the entertainment, however the tables were too close together, not even a arms length, and the lobster was served whole and was difficult to cut .

Initially I was a bit skeptical about booking the sunset cruise because it had mixed reviews. It was my husband’s birthday so I took a chance. The booking I must say could be a bit easier to navigate, however this review is about the amazing experience. The transportation to the dock was free and luxurious from our hotel. Arriving at the dock we were greeted by music and the nicest staff, where we were then guided to the top deck to a welcome ceremony with Hors d’oeuvres and photos with the captain. After which we were shown to our table and the luxurious dining experience commenced. There were seven courses of excellent food and amazing staff. Our server Tyler was very nice and accommodating. The live piano jazz was a nice touch. The view was absolutely amazing so many photo worthy moments out on the deck! The overall experience was well worth it. The only con I would say is that the ship is a bit weathered, needs painting and updating in the dining rooms. Despite the dated decor we had a fantastic time.

The food and show was great. The food tasted fresh and the drinks was good as well.

Great experience. Only critique would be to have cleaner dishes.

My family and I ended our 7-day Hawaii vacation by booking this sunset booze cruise for our last night and it did NOT disappoint! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. That sunset was truly stunning! The crew was extremely friendly and ensured we never had an empty beer or mai tai in our hands! One thing to keep in mind is that if waves are a bit rough it will not depart from Waikiki beach. Instead, they can change the departure to the pier, which is about a 15+ min drive from Waikiki with limited parking. To be honest I was definitely a bit disappointed about that but I forgot all about once I stepped on that catamaran and was given a Mai tai! Go ahead and book this, it's totally worth it!
