All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Nice staff, beautiful way to see the shoreline of Waikiki. Loved the music.

My overall experience was honestly amazing I enjoyed myself very nice people on the boat and it was just friendly

The number of Japanese participants was relatively small.
All explanations on the ship, including the types of drinks, were in English.
At the drink counter, they would speak slowly, asking, "Champagne? Beer? Mai Tai?" so you won't have any trouble even if you don't understand English.
There was also water and cola (or Pepsi).

My mother, in her 60s, didn't want to get seasick, so she stayed in the center of the ship and didn't drink alcohol. There were also Japanese people who were feeling seasick.

日本人の参加者は割合的に少なかったです。
船の中の説明は飲み物の種類等含め、すべて英語です。
飲み物のカウンターに行けば、「シャンパン？ビール？マイタイ？」など、
ゆっくり話してくれるので、英語がわからなくても困りません。
水とコーラ（かペプシ）もありました。

60代の母は船酔いしたくないので、船の中心部分でアルコール飲まずにしていました。船酔いしている日本人もいました。

I wanted to go on a sunset cruise, but it was fully booked, so I gave up on that. However, choosing this option was definitely the right decision!

I've walked on Waikiki Beach before, but seeing the beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was spectacular.

It was faster than I expected and thrilling. The only downside was a group of students from Canada who were making a lot of noise, getting injured, and even throwing up. However, I think it was an experience that makes me want to participate again.

サンセットクルーズに乗りたかったのですが、予約がいっぱいで断念しましたが、こちらにして大正解でした！
ワイキキビーチで散歩したことはあっても、海から見るビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドは壮観でした。

思ったよりスピードがあって、スリリングでした。
カナダからの学生の団体がいて、大騒ぎして怪我をしていたり、吐いたりしてて騒がしかったのが唯一の難点でした。
しかし、また参加したいと思える内容だったと思います。

If you're in Hawaii, you definitely want to experience marine sports. However, not everyone is able to be very active. But with a catamaran, it's a great option even for those who may not be as mobile. We experienced the evening cruise, and it was wonderful; we didn't have to worry much about sunburn and enjoyed the beautiful sunset while fully taking in the Hawaiian sea. Just be aware that the meeting point can be a bit tricky to find.

ハワイに来たからにはマリンスポーツは経験したいイベント。でも、皆が活発に動ける訳ではないですよね。でも、カタマランなら、そんな人にもお勧めできます。私たちは夕方の便を体験しましたが、日焼けもあまり気にならず、素敵なサンセットを見ながら、ハワイの海を存分に楽しめました。ただ、集合場所は少しわかりにくいので、注意してくださいね。

I was worried about departing due to the rainy season, but fortunately, the weather was nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset over the sea from the ship, which became a wonderful memory! The crew members were cheerful, and I enjoyed some light snacks (like chips and bread) to satisfy my hunger, making it a fun experience!

雨期のため出港するか不安でしたが、運よく天気も良く船上から綺麗な夕日を海から見ることができ、とても良い思い出になりました！船員の方たちも陽気で、軽食(チップスやパンなど)で小腹も満たされ、楽しかったです！

It didn't shake too much, and the sunset was beautiful, so that was nice. However, all the explanations were in English, so I felt a bit lost. Even though they said it was all-you-can-drink, there were people tipping every time they ordered more, and I wasn't sure what to do. But there were foreigners dancing, and I enjoyed the fun atmosphere overall.

そんなに揺れないし、サンセットは綺麗に見られたので良かった。
が、説明はすべて英語なので、理解できないとうーんʅ（◞‿◟）ʃという感じ。飲み放題と言いながら、お代わりのたびにチップ入れてる人もいて、どうしたら良いのかよくわからなかった(*´Д｀*)
でも、踊り出す外人もいて、楽しい雰囲気は楽しめたので概ね良かった(^-^)

It was actually my second time doing this with my boyfriend. We did the cruise back in february 2018.
We had a great time and the crew was amazing as always. They’re very accomodating & energetic. They made sure everyone was having a great time which is awesome. We really did appreciate it! I loved the sunset especially when we were sitted in front. We were also able to take different photos in a different angle. The cocktails that were served as well taste amazing! I highly recommend this activity for anyone who wants to experience this beautiful sunset cruise. For future participants it might get cold so just bring a jacket or sweater to be sure. Enjoy!

I think it was great that almost no Japanese people were on the bus, and even on the boat, we didn't encounter any Japanese, which made it feel very foreign despite being in Hawaii. We were able to connect with people from various countries on the bus, all in English, and it was nice to wrap up our last night in Waikiki together as a family on this tour.

日本人がほとんどバスに乗ってなくて、船の中でも顔をあわさずハワイなのに日本人に遭遇することなく外国感満載で、英語オンリーでバスの中でも色んな国の人たちと一体感になれてワイキキ最後の夜を家族全員でこのツアーで締めくくれたのは良かったと思う。

Every time I go to Hawaii, I participated in the Catamaran Sunset Sailing (operated by a different company), but this time I took my first ride on "Mai Tai Catamaran." There was hardly any difference in the tour itinerary or the drinks served, and it was a great deal for just $6! I wanted to enjoy the sunset while listening to Hawaiian music, but the background music was more pop-oriented, perhaps reflecting the staff's preferences, similar to other companies.

ハワイに行く度、毎回カタマランサンセットセーリング（別社催行）に参加していましたが
今回はこちらの「マイタイカタマラン」に初乗船
ツアー行程もサービスされるドリンクにも殆ど違いは無く、わずか＄６ですがお得でした♪
ハワイアンを聴きながらサンセットを見たかったのですが、ＢＧＭはスタッフの好みか、他社同様ポップ調でした

My daughter participated in a company trip with six people. She has joined this tour multiple times and always finds it enjoyable, so she recommended it to everyone, and they said it was incredibly fun as well. I'm glad her reputation has improved.

娘が会社の慰安旅行で６名で参加しました。娘はこのツアーに何度も参加していて、いつも楽しいので、皆さんにお勧めして参加したところ、やはり最高に楽しかったとのことでした。娘の株もあがって良かったです。

good service, perfect check in. relaxing cruise with very good service, very friendly crew.
Breathtaking monemts with sunset and skyline of Waikiki.
Great cocktails and other drinks, never stopp serving.

The food was just okay, but the three-story ship was great! The first floor had dining, the second floor was a live music bar, and the third floor had a deck and bar, which made for a fulfilling experience! Above all, the sunset was beautiful to see!

料理はまぁまぁでしたが、3階建ての船で1階でご飯、2階が生演奏バー、3階はデッキ＆バーと充実して楽しめました！
とにかくサンセットが綺麗に見えて良かった！

The music was pumping and it was so much fun! I was lucky enough to see a double rainbow clearly from one end to the other, and it was breathtaking! The sunset was also incredibly beautiful. I want to participate again!

音楽ガンガンでとっても楽しかったです！運良くダブルレインボーで端から端までクッキリ見れて感動しました！
サンセットもとーーっても綺麗。また参加したいです！

The sunset was wonderful, and the crew and fellow passengers were fantastic! My 9-year-old nephew, who was nervous about his first overseas trip until the day before, was thrilled and exclaimed, "Hawaii is so much fun!" They provided not only alcohol but also juice, making it enjoyable for everyone from 3 years old to those in their 70s! It's no surprise that there are people who participate every year!

サンセットも素晴らしく、クルーや同乗の皆さんのノリも最高！
前日までは初の海外旅行におののいていた9歳の甥がこのセーリングを機に「ハワイ楽しい！」と大はしゃぎでした。お酒だけでなく、ジュースも用意していただいているので3歳児から70代まで楽しめます！
毎年参加されてる方がいるのも納得！

I participated on September 28. The hotel pickup was about 15 minutes late, and I was contemplating whether to call for inquiries when a large bus arrived. We were the last pickup. However, it was reassuring that the pickup location and the contact number for inquiries in case of delays over 10 minutes were clearly stated at the time of booking. There were only two of us Japanese; the rest were from Australia and the United States. The guide on the bus spoke Japanese, which was helpful.

The seating on the boat was basically free. There were round tables for six. Since the boat was spacious and the tables were large, we could enjoy our meals without worrying about the people next to us. It was a buffet style, and there was plenty of food, which was satisfying. The pineapple among the fruits was particularly delicious, and I ate quite a bit of it.

We could move freely between the second and third floors, so I went to the front to take pictures of Diamond Head while it was still light. Then I went to the back of the boat to watch the sunset. Finally, it was time for the fireworks. The display lasted about five minutes, but it was a satisfying fireworks experience. The weather was good, and there were no waves, making it a comfortable viewing of the fireworks from the boat. The weather and waves depend on luck, so all we can do is pray for good conditions.

９月２８日の参加です。ホテルピックアップが約１５分遅れ、問い合わせの電話をしようかと迷っていたところへ大型バスが到着。私たちが最後のピックアップでした。ただ申し込み時に、ピックアップの場所と１０分以上遅れた場合の問い合わせ先も明記してあったので安心でした、、、。日本人は私たち２人だけ。あとはオーストラリア、アメリカから。バスに添乗していたガイドさんが日本語の話せる方でしたので、助かりました。船の席は基本自由。６人掛けの丸テーブル。広い船内と広いテーブルでしたので、隣の方を気にすることなく食事ができました。バイキング形式でしたが、量もふんだんにあり、満足でした。フルーツではパイナップルがとても美味しかったのが印象的でした、、、かなり食べました、、、。
２階３階へは移動が自由でしたので、明るいうちにダイヤモンドヘッドを写真に収めるため先頭へ。夕日を観るため船尾へ。そして花火の時間。打ち上げは５分ほどでしたが満足の花火観賞でした。お天気が良く波もなかったので快適な船からの花火観賞でした。お天気と波は運次第ですね。祈るしかありません。

After gathering at 16:30 and completing the procedures, you can spend time at the beach or inside the Outrigger, and then move to the boat at 16:45. You will be asked to take off your shoes, so I recommend wearing sandals that are easy to remove! Inside the boat, you will be barefoot. Since it’s a cruise where alcohol is served, I brought my passport for age verification, but I wasn't asked to show it. Depending on the wave conditions (it wasn't enough to make me seasick), the boat can sway quite a bit, so it’s better not to bring valuables if you plan to place your bags or belongings on the shelves inside the boat. There are benches where you can sit. All announcements are in English, but they will show you a Japanese instruction manual. (It seems to be shared with the day cruise, so the pricing explanation is slightly different.) The return is scheduled for 18:30, but on the day I participated, we returned to the beach at 18:45. There seems to be a restroom available, but I didn't use it, so I can't provide details.

Drinks included cocktails, champagne, wine, beer, and possibly Sprite and cola. Be careful not to spill since it can sway! Everyone was enjoying themselves, drinking and taking in the scenery. You can watch the sunset until the sun goes down, but be cautious with your hat as the sea breeze can be strong!

16:30集合で手続きした後はビーチやアウトリガー内で時間を潰して、16:45に船に移動します。靴は脱いでねー！と言われますのですぐ脱げるサンダルがよいと思います♪船内は裸足です。アルコールが飲めるクルーズなので年齢確認されるかとパスポート持参しましたが特に提示を求められることはありませんでした。波の状態により(酔うほどではなかったです)結構揺れますので、両手が空くバッグか荷物を船内の棚に置く場合は貴重品はなるべく持参されない方がよいかと。座っていられるベンチもあります。アナウンスは全て英語ですが、日本語の説明書を見せてくれます。(デイクルーズと共有のようで、ちょっと料金説明が異なりますが)18:30帰着ですが参加した日はビーチに戻ったのは18:45着でした。トイレも付いているようですが、使わなかったので詳細は不明です。
ドリンクはカクテルにシャンパン、ワイン、ビール、スプライトやコーラなどもあったようです。揺れるのでこぼさないように注意です！皆さんお酒を飲んだり景色を眺めたり思い思いに過ごされていて楽しめます♪サンセットも日が沈むまでずっと眺めていられましたが、海風が強いので帽子は飛ばされないようにご注意を！

I booked this trip based on the great reviews for a two-person journey with my mother, who loves cruising and sailing! We arrived a bit late and caused some inconvenience, but everyone was so kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the beautiful sea created the best memories. Since the boat sways quite a bit, I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are worried about getting seasick! If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again! 😊

クルージングやセーリングが好きな母との2人旅で、レビューの良かったこちらを予約しました！
少し遅れてしまい、迷惑をかけてしまいましたが、皆さん優しく迎えてくれてありがたかったです。綺麗な海からワイキキの景色とダイアモンドヘッドが見れて、最高の思い出になりました。
結構揺れがあるので、船酔いが心配な方は、酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします！
またハワイに行くことが出来たら絶対に、また参加したいです(^^)

I booked this for the fireworks, but the sunset was amazing, and the fireworks were fantastic as well. The view from the sea was unobstructed, with Diamond Head shining in the sunset and the hotels in the background, making it a spectacular sight. It was a tour I would love to join again.

花火を目的で予約しましたが、夕日は最高だし、花火も最高でした、海から見える景色は遮るものもなく、夕日に輝くダイヤモンドヘッド、ホテル群、見ごたえがありました。
また参加したいツアーでした。

Unfortunately, the sunset was obscured by thick clouds, but sailing while enjoying drinks with the cheerful staff was very pleasant! When night fell, we were able to see a big full moon, so I think it turned out well in the end.

I participated on the last day in Hawaii, which was a bit bittersweet, but it became a good memory.

It was difficult to find the meeting place. Following the directions, I went through the lobby of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel to get to the beach, but I couldn't find the booth and ended up wandering around. Also, although I made a reservation for two, I was told at the reception that it was booked for six, and they took a photo of my reservation details. I think it's a good idea to bring something that shows your reservation details just in case!

Additionally, please be careful as you will get quite wet when boarding and disembarking from the boat.

サンセットはあいにく雲が厚く見ることができませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフさんたちとお酒を飲みながらのセーリングはとても気持ちよかったです！夜になると大きな満月を見ることができたので、結果オーライかなと思います。
ハワイ最終日に参加し、ちょっぴり切なく、でも良い思い出になりました。
集合場所が分かりづらかったのは困りました。案内の通りにシェラトンワイキキホテルのロビーを通ってビーチへ出ましたが、ブースが見当たらず右往左往しました。また、2名で予約しましたが、受付では6名で予約されていると言われ、予約詳細画面の写真を撮られました。もしもの時のために、予約詳細が分かるものは持参した方がいいと思います！
また、船への乗り降りの際はかなり濡れますのでご注意ください。

You can set sail in the bright evening, watch the sunset, and then enjoy the sparkling night views of seaside hotels after the sun goes down. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

夕方の明るい時に出航しサンセットを見たのち、日が落ちた後のキラキラした海沿いのホテルなどの夜景を楽しめます。ハワイの素敵な思い出になりました。

The weather was nice, but unfortunately, clouds appeared just as the sun was setting on the horizon, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset, which was very disappointing. The captain of the boat and the two staff members who were also the bartender were friendly and fun, but they didn't speak Japanese. However, since we weren't having difficult conversations, it was enough to enjoy the scenery while drinking and having fun on the yacht. This time, there were more waves than expected, and when we headed out to sea, it felt like a roller coaster, but that was enjoyable too.

お天気は良かったのに、太陽が水平線に沈む頃に雲が出てきてせっかくのサンセットが見られずとても残念でした。
船のキャプテンとクルー兼バーテンダーの2人のスタッフはフレンドリーで楽しい方でしたが、日本語は通じませんでした。ですが難しい話をする訳ではないので、景色を見ながらお酒を飲んでヨットを楽しむには十分です。
今回は思いの外、波のうねりがあり沖に向かって行く時はジェットコースターのようでしたがそれもまた楽しめました。

It was better than we thought it would be. We loved it.. recommend it!!!

This trip was definitely above our expectations. First, I want to applaud the customer service of this Company. Our first tour was cancelled due to weather. They informed us promptly and immediately rescheduled us for an alternative date. When we arrived after the boat, there had been an error in some customers booking causing a delay in the boat's departure. Not only did they extend our time, but our drinks were compensated due to the delay. We were more than obliged to wait for the late arrivals :). The boat was not crowded, the service was fantastic, and the music was great. As promised, we enjoyed the beautiful boat and the fantastic views of the sunset, city and diamond head. Everything was literally as promised. We would definitely recommend to friends.

Last time when I wanted to jump on a catamaran, it was fully booked, so this time I made a reservation in advance despite some concerns about the weather.

We departed from the bright beach and enjoyed the sunset on the water! On the way back, we experienced the beautiful night view of Honolulu.

It was truly wonderful since we can't see the sunset every day. The woman who prepared the drinks provided prompt service and even offered refills without us having to ask.

Indeed, Japanese was not spoken, but it was not a problem at all. There were no noisy people, and no one was standing on the net.

以前にカタマランに飛び込みで乗りたいと言った時は満席で断られたので今回は天気の不安もある中、事前予約しました。
まだ、明るいビーチを出発して、洋上でサンセット！帰る時にはホノルルの夜景と素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
毎日、サンセットを拝めるわけではないので本当によかったです。
飲み物を用意してくれた女性もテキパキとサービスしてくれてこちらから言わなくてもおかわりの催促をしてくれました。
確かに日本語は通じないけど、なんの問題もないです。
騒がしい方は全くいなくネットの上に乗る人もいませんでした。

My boyfriend and I got this to see the fireworks. It was amazing, drinks were good, vibe was great, service was perfect. Casual attire. Barefoot cruise. Any age would enjoy it. I would recommend this to everyone.

There were about two groups of Japanese participants, and most were from Europe and America. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it rained shortly after departure, but just before sunset, the sun peeked out, and although it wasn't a complete double rainbow, we could see one over the ocean. Your feet will definitely get wet, but it might be good to expect that getting wet from the rain can happen. When I went, there weren't any waves splashing onto the boat. You can store your bags and shoes on the back of the chairs, so that's fine. If you want to enjoy it even more, joining in with the European and American vibe can make it quite fun. The staff also helped to liven things up, and the cheerful music playing was a nice touch.

日本人参加者は2組程度、ほとんどが欧米の方でした。あいにくの曇り空で、出発直後に雨が降りましたが、日没直前に太陽がのぞき、洋上に完全ではないですが、ダブルレインボーが見えました。足は確実濡れますが、こんな風に雨で濡れることもあるのは想定した方が良いかもしれないですね、波が船にかかるって濡れる事はわたしのときはなかったです。荷物や靴は椅子の背もたれに入れられるので大丈夫ですよ。より一層楽しむなら欧米人のノリにのっかると、結構楽しくなってきます。スタッフも盛り上げてくれるし、ご機嫌な音楽も流れているのが良かったせです。

If you want to get out of Waikiki for a quick outing then this Tradewind Sail with Mana Kai Catamaran is perfect! Departing from the middle of Waikiki, it's a beach boarding and all you need is a pair of sunglasses and water. The captain and crew took us towards out the blue ocean and there you are just sitting looking at the iconic Diamond Head.
It's was great to just relax and bake under the sun for one hour!

First and most important to me was the kindness and concern for my safety. The guys were perfect gentleman and treated me like I was their family. The sail was breathtaking! They went above and beyond to give us an experience we will not forget. It was beautiful and my pictures actually came out great! Thank you for a special memory. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Don’t hesitate to book this trip it will not disappoint you.

Swaying with the boat, holding my third Mai Tai, the sunset with Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline in the background was amazing.

船の揺れに身をまかせ、3杯目のﾏｲﾀｲを片手に、ﾀﾞｲｱﾓﾝﾄﾞﾍｯﾄﾞとﾜｲｷｷのﾋﾞﾙ群をﾊﾞｯｸに見た夕日は最高、感度ものでした。
