All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

The sunset sailing was amazing! I was torn between a dinner cruise and the yacht sunset cruise, but the sunset cruise was the best! We felt the wind, enjoyed the sea, took photos with fellow guests, and it was a perfect conclusion to our trip with four families from work (nine people in total). The crew was friendly and even took photos with us. I definitely want to do it again!

サンセットセーリング、最高でした!
ディナー付きのクルージングと迷いましたが、ヨットのサンセットクルージング、最高でした!風を感じ、海を感じ、お客さん同士で写真を撮り、職場の仲間4家族（9名）での旅でしたが最高の締めくくりとなりました。
クルーの方もフレンドリーで一緒に写真も撮っていただきました。
また乗りたいですね!

Great time. You have access to all decks. Naturalist answers all question. Plenty of seating. Servers available for sodas and coffee and cocktails. Breakfast is optional at additional charge. Bring your camera for photos of whales and view of waikiki. Enjoyed very much. Tour was wworrth. The money for sure. We did early bird . We were back before lunch time. Bring light jacket for early morning. You will enjoy this ride. Super big ship very stable. Stay on deck for best views. They know exactly where the whales are.

There were fewer Japanese people, but that was nice in its own way. I really enjoyed the sunset sailing, feeling closer to the sea than on a dinner cruise. I was able to see dolphins up close, and I will definitely book again.

日本人は少なかったですがそれもまたよかった。ディナークルーズよりも海を近くに感じて本当にサンセットセーリングを楽しみました。
イルカもまじかで観れたしまた必ず予約します

Not a fan of the food. The crew was fun and knew their stuff. The experience was great. We went out on a windy night and the water was a little rough. It was too cloudy to see the sunset that night too.

This is one of the cruises where you can truly feel the light and wind of Hawaii. It's a catamaran, so it's extremely stable. Enjoy soaking in the light and wind of Hawaii with your whole body. The sunset is also incredibly beautiful. Don't forget your camera!

最もハワイの光と風を感じられるクルーズの一つです。
双胴船なので安定も抜群です。全身でハワイの光と風を浴びてください。
サンセットも最高に美しいです。カメラをお忘れなく！

Since it was the last day for whale watching registration, I can only say that it was disappointing to just get on the boat. I wish I had gone during the breeding season when we could have definitely seen them. It's just one word: disappointing.

ホエールウオッチング最終日受付ということもあり？ただただ、船に乗っただけで、残念としか言いようがありません。確実に会える産卵期にすればよかったかと。残念の一言です

I had prepared myself because someone mentioned that the whales appear small. Indeed, they seem very far away. There aren't any boats that can get close, so it can't be helped, but you can still see them properly. It's impossible to take pictures with a mobile camera because they are too far away. Even when zoomed in the most, it looks like this. Keeping that in mind, I think it's a good cruise to join.

鯨が小さく見えると書いていた方が居たので覚悟はしていました。
やっぱり、すごく遠くに見えると言う感覚です。
近くに行ける船がないからしかたないですが、ちゃんと見れます。
携帯カメラでは遠すぎて撮影は無理です。
1番ズームにして撮影してもこんな感じ。
それを頭において、参加すればいいクルーズだと思います。

I decided to participate in the sailing instead of the dinner cruise because it had a higher review score and also goes out to Diamond Head. Choosing this sailing was definitely the right decision.

There was only one other Japanese group besides me. The rest were foreigners, and everyone was really lively. People of various ages were on board.

It was slightly cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to fully enjoy the process of the evening setting in and the night view becoming more prominent. It was romantic, and I savored the beautiful scenery.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and after toasting with Mai Tai, there were various options like pineapple beer (which wasn't sold at ABC Store), sparkling wine, and wine.

Since the weather wasn't great, there were times when the boat rocked like an attraction. It was fun, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to go on a nice day.

I enjoyed the sea breeze, the twilight, and the night view, and had a wonderful time. I would love to go again! I absolutely recommend it!

ディナー・クルージングよりも、セーリングの方がレビュー点数が高いのと、さらにダイアモンドヘッド沖まで行くのでこれに参加する事に決めました。このセーリングにして、大正解でした。

日本人は私以外は一組だけ。外国人ばかりでノリノリです。幅広い年齢の方が乗船していました。

薄曇りだったので、日没は見る事ができませんでしたが、夕暮れて行き、夜景が際立っていく過程を充分に見る事ができました。ロマンチックで、美しい景色を堪能しました。

ドリンクは、飲み放題でマイタイで乾杯の後、パイナップル・ビール（ABCストアでも売っていませんでした）、スパークリングワイン、ワイン等、様々ありました。

天気が良くなかったので、アトラクションの様に船が揺れた時もありました。面白かったけれど、船酔いし易い方は、天気の良い日に乗船なさった方が良いかも知れません。

海風と夕暮れと夜景を味わい、すてきな時間を過ごせました。また乗船したいです！　絶対にお勧めです！

Since I participated on Friday, I watched the fireworks from the Hilton instead of enjoying the sunset. The crew members were very fun, but there were free Mai Tai cocktails being served, and the boat was quite crowded and chaotic. On the day of the event, there was an announcement that the sea was relatively calm, but there were people who got sick from the alcohol and seasickness, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

金曜日参加だったので、サンセット鑑賞ではなくヒルトンの花火を船上から観ました。
クルーさんがとても楽しい方でしたが、フリーのマイタイカクテルが振舞われるのと船内が人いっぱいでカオス状態でもありました(^^;;
参加日当日は、割と海が静かだというアナウンスはありましたが、お酒と船酔いで吐いていた人もいるので、乗り物酔いをされる方は、酔い止めを服用されることをオススメします。

I am 46 years old. My wife and I went on a trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. During that time, we participated in this tour and created the best memories. The weather was nice, and while watching the sunset, we reaffirmed our love for each other. Since we didn't have a wedding ceremony in a church, my wife was moved to tears! Our spirits were high, and even though it wasn't suggested, we ended up sharing a vow kiss... The only disappointment was that the champagne we added as an option was served quite late in the course, and we couldn't finish it. I wish it had been on the table from the beginning... We ended up adding champagne unnecessarily. However, it was a very meaningful dinner and time, and we were extremely satisfied!

46歳です。妻と2人で25周年の結婚記念日にハワイ旅行にいきました。
その際、このツアーに参加して最高〜の想い出ができました。
天気も良く、沈む夕日を眺めながら改めて、2人の愛を誓い合いました。
教会での挙式をしていなかったので、妻も目を潤ませて感動していました！
気分も高まり、言われてもいないのに誓いのキスなんかしちゃいました・・・。
残念だったのは、オプションで追加したシャンパンが、コースのかなり後で出てきて、飲みきれなかった事ぐらいですね〜。
最初から、テーブルに出ていて欲しかった・・・。
無駄にシャンパンを追加してしまいました。
でも、とても有意義なディナーと時間で、大満足です！

Unfortunately the weather gods were not on our side and we had high winds and very rough ocean.

However the boys who run this trip make it fun for everyone - the unlimited bar is just an added bonus.

Even though we didn't see the sunset due to weather I can imagine what it would be like on a perfect Hawaiian day.

We will definately go again on our next trip.

Unfortunately we did not see any whales - they did offer a free return trip but we did not have the time to take this offer up.

I understand it is a gamble - but the weather was very bad and windy - locals told us that when the water is that rough you tend not to see whales - maybe they should have given us option prior to boarding.

Thanks.

The boat and crew are awesome! Highly recommend! Me and my girlfriend and roommate have a blast. All you can drink and it’s all inclusive. I lived in Hawaii for 18 years and every time I go back to visit I try and go on a booze Cruze.

I was able to see the whale, but it felt a bit pointless because it was too small. I think it's better to be prepared for a little seasickness since it moves at a right angle to the waves.

くじらは見れましたが、小さ過ぎてあまり意味はなかったような気がします。波に直角に動くので少し酔うことは覚悟した方が良いと思います。

I participated in a honeymoon trip. If you're staying at Outrigger Reef, the meeting place is close and I recommend it. The sailing time was quite long, and I really enjoyed the cruise.

It was great to see the diamond head clearly. Since it was March, the wind was stronger than expected, and it got quite cold in the second half. Since you'll be taking off your shoes, I think it's better for those who get cold easily to dress warmly.

There was a wide range of participants, from young to old. Most were Westerners. There were various cocktails and alcohol available, making it a very enjoyable cruise.

新婚旅行で参加しました。アウトリガーリーフに滞在の方は集合場所が近くてオススメです。航海時間も結構あり、クルーズを満喫できました。
ダイアモンドベッドがしっかり見れてよかったです。3月でしたからか予想以上に風が強く後半はかなり寒かったです。くつも脱ぎますので、寒がりの方は着込んだ方がいいと思います。
老若男女という感じで幅広い方が参加されてました。ほぼ欧米人でしたが。
カクテルなどアルコールも色々あってとても楽しいクルーズでした。

The sunset was the goal, but due to bad weather, we couldn't go out into the bay. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was not delicious at all. It felt more like just having a meal inside the boat rather than a sunset dinner cruising experience.

サンセットが目的でしたが天候悪く湾の外に出られませんでした。料理については期待はしていませんでしたが全く美味しく有りませんでした。サンセットディナークルージングでは無く舟の中で食事だけした感じです。

We couldn't see the whales due to heavy rain.

The warranty period is until the end of April.
Our family is scheduled to return the next day.

At the very least, the warranty period should be free‼️

I will never participate again.

大雨でクジラは見れず

保証期間は、四月いっぱい
次の日に帰国予定の我が家

最低でも、保証期間はフリーにすべき‼️

二度と参加しません。

such a fun way to begin our trip in hawaii. We arrived and headed straight for the cruise and it was just amazing.. the staff were awesome and never let your glass become empty. Such a nice way to see the whole of Waikiki beach. Highly recommended!!

I expected it, but I didn't see any whales at all. As others have mentioned, the air conditioning was too strong, and it was really cold. Just wearing a T-shirt feels like I might catch a cold in Hawaii. Be sure to bring something to wear over it. There was also a children's program to keep the kids entertained, but there were too few participants, so it seemed impossible for everyone to join (laughs).

予想はしてたもののホエールは一切見れませんでした。他の方も書いているとおり冷房が効き過ぎて寒すぎます。Tシャツ1枚ではハワイで風邪をひきそうです。羽織るものは必ず持参して下さい。子供を退屈させないために子供用プログラムも用意されていましたが、人数が少なすぎて全員参加はとてもムリそうでした(笑)

I could see the whales, but they were far away, so it felt like, "Is this all there is?" However, the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was quite spectacular!

クジラは見えましたけど、距離が遠く、こんなもんかーって感じでしたね。
ただ沖からみるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは、なかなかの絶景でしたー

We considered taking a cruise on the day of our family trip with 10 members as a memorable experience. We debated between a large cruise ship with meals included or a sunset cruise on a catamaran yacht. Having previously experienced both, and thinking about the grandchildren, we chose the catamaran yacht since it was "closer to the sea." Seeing the joy of our four grandchildren during the cruise and after disembarking made me realize that we made the right choice with the yacht. No one in our family got seasick, but those who are sensitive to motion should take precautions like taking medication.

10名の家族旅行の記念にと思い、急遽　当日に乗船を検討。食事付きの大型客船か双胴船ヨットでのサンセットクルーズにするか悩みましたが、以前　大型客船とヨット双方に乗船経験があり、孫を中心に考えると「海が近い」双胴船ヨットを選択しました。クルーズ中と下船した時の孫4名の喜びを見ると、ヨットにして良かったと実感しました。我が家族の中には船酔いした者はいませんでしたが、船に弱い人は薬を飲む等の対策は必要です。

The view was great, but there were no whales at the end of March. I heard that they have been decreasing recently. I received a voucher for my next visit, but it's only valid for 10 months, so I can't use it. It may not be anyone's fault, but I think it would be nice to have a little more traveler-friendly guarantees.

眺めは良かったのですが、3月末の時点でクジラはいませんでした。
最近は、減っているとの話もありました。
次回利用の券をもらいましたが、10ヶ月間のみ有効なので、使えませんね。。
誰の責任でもないかも知れませんが、もう少し、旅行者にやさしい保証があると良いと思います。

We participated as a couple. The sunset was beautiful.
Hawaii has many sunny days, but it's rare to see a beautiful sunset with clouds near the horizon.
By the way, the sunset can also be beautifully viewed from the beach.
The staff provided a notice specifically for Japanese guests and were very proactive in taking photos, which was wonderful service.
The music played by the DJ felt a bit dated, and there were women in their 40s and 50s really enjoying it.
I thought the duration could be a little shorter.

夫婦で参加しました。夕日は綺麗でした。
ハワイは晴れの日が多いですが水平線の辺りは雲が多く綺麗なサンセットが見られるのはなかなかないかと思います。
ちなみにサンセットはビーチからでも綺麗に見れます。
スタッフも日本人専用注意書きをくれ、写真も進んで撮影してもらい、素晴らしい対応でした。
DJがかける音楽は少し世代が古く感じられ、40〜50代くらいのおばさんがノリノリでした。
時間はもう少し短くても良いかなと思いました。

The crew was friendly. We saw whales nearly the whole time we were on board. The cocktails were tasty and the entertainment was great. We will do this again with our family. Next time, we will do the food option. The kids wanted to eat as soon as they brought out the food.

During a day with a thunderstorm forecast, it miraculously cleared up, and although it wasn't perfect, I was able to witness an inspiring sunset. The moody music and the sunset illuminating the hotels in Waikiki, along with Diamond Head, are definitely worth seeing. However, the waves were over 3 meters, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.

雷予報の一日の中、奇跡的に晴れ、完ぺきとはいえないまでも、感動する夕焼けを観ることが出来ました。ムーディーな音楽と夕日に照らされたワイキキのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドは一見の価値ありです。
しかし、波が3メートル以上あり、船に酔いやすい方は注意が必要。

The first thing I got confused about was the description of the location, "there are stairs beyond the pool at Sheraton Waikiki." When I arrived, there were no participants for the tour, and I was flustered! In fact, there were two conditions written on the paper! For those going on the tour, please remember this well! The pool at Sheraton Waikiki is not the one with the waterslide; it is the pool that is for people aged 16 and over! So please be careful!

私はまず迷ったのは、「シェラトンワイキキのプールの先に階段があって」という場所説明ですね。行ってもツアーに参加する人がいなくてあたふた❗️実は紙に書いてある条件のところは２つあったのです‼️ツアーに行く方はよーく覚えておいてください！シェラトンワイキキのプールというのはウォータースライダーがあるプールではなくて、１６才以上の人が入れるプールのことです‼️
なので気をつけて‼️

The cruise was very good, but I didn't know who to ask for the ticket that you receive when you don't see any whales, so I ended up not getting it.

クルーズとしてはとても良かったのですが、くじらが見れなかった時にもらえる券が誰に聞いたらもらえるのかわからず、結局もらうことができませんでした。

I had a great time. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, and I couldn't see the sunset, but I thoroughly enjoyed the food and live music. However, the air conditioning on the ship was quite strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.

楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
残念ながら曇りで、日の入りは見ることができませんでしたが、お料理や生演奏は満喫できまきた。
ただ、船内がけっこう空調がきいていたので、上着を持参する方がいいかもしれません。

On March 21, we hadn't been blessed with great weather, but this day was sunny. I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw the luxurious Star of Honolulu. We set sail! Out to Diamond Head. No whales. We desperately searched with many passengers. Unfortunately, the approximately two-hour voyage ended without sighting any. The view of Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. I wish more information about the probability of sightings for this time of year had been provided the previous week.

3月21日、なかなかいい天気に恵まれてませんでしたが、この日は晴れました。豪華なスターオブホノルル号を見たとき胸の高鳴りを押さえられませんでした。出航！ダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで。いません。クジラいません。多くの乗船客とともに必死に探しました。むなしくも約2時間の航行終了。海からのダイヤモンドヘッドはきれいでした。この時期は前週での確率の情報をもっと提供してほしいものです。

The title is a bit confusing ... sunset and fireworks cruise ... I thought I was ordering the fireworks cruise but in fact it was a sunset booze cruise. Weather wasn’t great but that’s not their fault. The 5:30 cruise is the sunset cruise. 1 1/2 hours all you can drink MaiTais and champagne. Friday night the yaucht club races, so that was pretty cool to watch. When we got off the boat we walked down the beach and actually had a really good view of the fireworks so it all worked out.
