This is my eighth time in Hawaii, and I was curious about how the sunset view from the sea looks, so I decided to join for the first time.

The cruise departs from the reef and lasts about 60 minutes, allowing you to fully experience the pleasant breeze from the ocean. There were about 40 participants, with around 8 Japanese attendees.

However, once you head out to sea, the boat can sway quite a bit due to the waves, so it might be a bit challenging for those who are not comfortable on boats.

Personally, I found it to be better than I expected. The view is different from what you see from the beach or hotel, so I highly recommend it.

ハワイは8回目になりますが、
海からのサンセット・景色はどう見えるのか？興味本位で
初めて参加させていただきました。

リーフから出発して約60分のクルーズ
海からの気持ちよい風を思う存分体感できます
約40名ほどの参加で日本人は8名ほどでした。

ただ、沖に出るとかなり波で船が揺れるので、
船が苦手な方はちょっとという感じです。

個人的には予想以上によかったです。
ビーチやホテルから見る景色とは異なるので、
おすすめですよ。

The content of the show was very good. The host was entertaining and it was lively. However, as everyone has mentioned, it wasn't exactly a smooth dining experience. The buffet style is nice, but there was a long line. The quality of the food isn't terrible, but it's best not to have high expectations.

ショーの内容はとても良かったです。
司会の人が面白くて盛り上がりました。
ただ、みなさん書いている通りスムーズに食事を頂く…という感じではありません。
ブッフェ形式なのは良いのですが、長蛇の列です。
食事の内容もひどくはないですが、期待はしない方が良いでしょう。

We participated in a trip from Fukuoka at the end of September with two people. Besides us, there was a family of three Japanese participants. They came with their daughter, and they were really nice people who made our experience enjoyable. The rest were foreign guests.

It was amazing to watch the sunset while enjoying drinks on the boat. I think the cost performance is excellent as well. I definitely recommend it!

福岡からの旅行で9月終わりに2人で参加しました。
日本人は私達の他にご家族3人で参加されていました。娘さんと3人で来られていましたが、すごくいい方々で楽しませていただきました。あとは外国の方々でした。
船に乗船してお酒をのみながら陽が沈むのを見るのは最高でした。コストパフォーマンスも最高だと思います。是非オススメします！

The fireworks at the Hilton on Friday were larger and more beautiful than I expected. Also, viewing Waikiki Beach from the sea was quite nice, and with the beautiful scenery and delicious drinks, all the guests were very satisfied. I planned this event, and my husband was also impressed!

Additionally, that day, there happened to be another fireworks display nearby on the water, and the captain moved us close to it, so we were really lucky to see two fireworks shows at once!

The night sea breeze is surprisingly cool, so a hoodie or something similar is a must.

金曜日のヒルトンの花火は予想以上に大きく、とても綺麗でした。
また、海からみるワイキキビーチも中々で、
綺麗な景色と美味しいお酒で、お客さんはみんな大満足ー。
私が企画したのですが、主人も感激しておりました＼(^o^)／

また、その日は、たまたま近くの海上で別の花火があがっており、キャプテンがその近くまで移動してくれたので、1回で2つの花火をみられかなりラッキーでした！

夜の海風は意外に冷たいので、パーカーなどは必須です～。

A lovely Friday night cruising off the beach to see the fireworks. The crew were very professional and the bar was well run. Highly recommended on Waikiki Beach

It was a bit disappointing because I couldn't see the sunset very well, but I was satisfied because I got to see a rainbow and a little bit of the sunset, as well as the night view.

あまり良くなかったので残念ながらサンセットはあまり見えなかったですが虹が出たり少しだけサンセットがみれたり夜景まで見せていただいたので満足です。

I participated in a sunset cruise! It was my first trip to Hawaii, and this cruise became a wonderful memory! The location is quite hard to find, as others have mentioned, but if you're staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, it's just beyond the infinity pool.

There was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. I can't speak English at all, but luckily, a foreign tourist who understood Japanese kindly helped translate for us! All the explanations and guidance on the boat were in English, so those who can't speak at all should be careful!

I usually don't drink cocktails, so it was my first time trying a Mai Tai, and it was delicious and easy to drink, like orange juice! Most people were drinking Mai Tais, but there were also beers, wines, and colas available. Additionally, a copy of your passport for alcohol verification was fine.

It was a bit chilly on the water in October with strong winds, so I think it's better to have a jacket. The boat docks on the sandy beach, so when you board, your feet will get wet, but it's okay if you're not in a swimsuit.

There was a sudden downpour, but thanks to that, we were able to see a double rainbow! The sunset was also amazing! If I ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again!

サンセットクルーズに参加しました！初めてのハワイ旅行でしたが、このクルーズはとても素敵な思い出になりました！
場所は他の皆さんの仰る通りかなりわかりにくいですが、シェラトンワイキキに宿泊している方であればインフィニティプールを抜けてすぐのところです。
私たち以外に日本人は1組だけでした。英語は全然喋れないのですが、たまたま日本語がわかる外国の観光客の方が親切に通訳してくれて助かりました！説明や船上での案内など全て英語ですので全く喋れない方は気をつけてください！
普段カクテルは飲まないのでマイタイ自体初めて飲みましたが、オレンジジュースのようで飲みやすく美味しかったです！皆さんほとんどマイタイを飲んでましたがビールやワイン、コーラなどもありました。また、アルコール提供確認のパスポートはコピーしたものでOKでした。
洋上は風も強く10月だったので少し寒かったです、上着があったほうがいいと思います。船が砂浜に停泊しているので乗るときに足だけ海に浸かりますが、水着でなくても大丈夫です。
突然スコールもありましたが、おかげでダブルレインボーを見ることができました！夕日も最高でした！もしまたハワイに行くことがあれば絶対にまた参加したいです！！

We participated with two women to enjoy the fireworks from the sea on Friday, October 14th. There were only a few Japanese people. The captain and staff spoke in English, so we managed to order juice by picking up some words. The non-Japanese guests laughed at the captain's jokes and shared drinks with strangers, but we were a bit overwhelmed as we weren't used to such interactions.

The fireworks were not like those in Japan, where there is a pause between bursts; instead, they were flashy and went off in quick succession. They ended in the blink of an eye, but they were impressive. The pleasant sea breeze, lively music, dazzling night scenery, and fireworks all contributed to a memorable page in our Hawaiian experience.

10/14金曜日花火を海上から堪能する！を目的に女性２人で参加しました。
日本人はほんの数人でした。船長やスタッフの会話はもちろん英語なので単語を拾って何とかジュースを注文。
日本人以外の方たちは船長のジョークに笑い、知らない人同士でも杯を酌み交わしていましたが私たちはそういった行為に慣れていなく少し圧倒されました。
花火は日本のように打ち上がっては一拍置くような感じではなく、立て続けに打ち上がる派手な花火。あっという間に終わりますが逆に迫力ありいました。
心地よい海風と軽快な音楽まばゆいばかりの夜景、そして花火。ハワイの思い出の１ページとなりました。

Lovely cruise to watch the fireworks. Crew were lovely. I think its a bit overpriced (US$50) as there aren't any drinks included. Also when the bar opened there was only 1 glass of white wine left! I've previously been on the sunset cruise and think it was better value.

We had everything on our sunset cruise - a sun shower, a beautiful rainbow right over Diamond Head, a magnificent sunset and a full moon. We also had the amazing Dave and Philippe and a great bunch of fellow travellers. The drinks and the fun flowed! We'll definitely recommend this trip to family and friends. We'll be back for another cruise next time we are in Waikiki.

Nice sailboat. Good food and pleasant sail. Would recommend.

Thank you for contacting me about forgetting the voucher. I had read everything thoroughly, but the meeting place was quite far from what was indicated, and before I knew it, my husband and I were running on the sandy beach. When we finally arrived, it seemed like my name was called out many times, and they said "yu-me-i-jin," which made everyone chuckle. However, it was a lot of fun!

バウチャーを忘れて連絡ありがとうございます。隅から隅までよく読んでいたのです集合場所が表記とはかなり離れていて気がついたら時間ぎりぎり主人と二人で砂浜を走る走るやっとたどり着いたら最後の最後で何度も何度も名前は呼ばれていたらしくyu-me-i-jin
と言われてみんなクスクス笑いでしたがとてもとても楽しかったです。

The catamaran was clean and very well kept in appearance. The crew was great and professional at all times plus courteous. We had a wonderful time and great experience on the sail and dinner. The food was good and plentiful! But be sure that you are aware that other than one drink non alcoholic or not is all that each get. Other than that it is extra but that was fine.

Had a good time overall on cat cruise-sail...crew was friendly & professional . We did not like the music played during cruise....not appropriate & too loud...could have done without....it made the people on this cruise talk louder to drown out the music. The staffers; on the phone-reservation, at the check-in desk, & photo gal were VERY nice, too. A fun & beautiful part of our vacation.

There was a mix-up with what we ordered and what we were given, but the manager on duty did an excellent job making it right. Overall, it was a pleasant evening with good food. I would say that the rate is slightly more expensive than what I would expect for the return on the overall entertainment without alcohol.

We thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the people on this Cruise. Although they only offered one mixed drink and a few different types of beers and wine. They did set out to help everyone have a good time and the music was excellent. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Presley was incredibly cool!! He came right up close, and the fan service was amazing, as expected! It was an American show. The quality was high! The singing was very good, and even if you're not familiar with the singers or songs, you can still enjoy it completely. I felt a bit floaty and dreamy for a while, haha. I want to go again!!!!

プレスリーめちゃめちゃめちゃめちゃかっこよかったです！！近くまで来てくれて、ファンサービスもすごかったです、、さすが！アメリカンショーでした。クオリティが高い！
歌もとても上手くて、歌手や曲に詳しくなくても全然楽しめます。しばらくふわふわして、 夢心地にいる感じでした笑
また行きたいです！！！！！！！！

It was absolutely amazing!! The sunset was incredibly beautiful, the atmosphere was fantastic, and both the drinks and snacks were delicious (all-you-can-drink)!!! Plus, the people were kind and friendly, and the captain played a wide variety of music, from romantic tunes to rock, showing great hospitality.

I definitely want to use this service again when I come to Hawaii!

もうサイコーでした！！
夕日もめちゃめちゃ綺麗だし、雰囲気もサイコーだし、お酒もおつまみもおいしくて(全て飲み放題です)！！！それに、人も親切で優しくて、BGMもロマンチックなものやロックなものまでありとあらゆる曲をかける、とてもサービス精神旺盛な船長でした笑

ハワイに来るときには、必ずまた利用したいと思います！

This cruise was perfect. The crew were so much fun, and clearly wanted nothing but the best for the guests. Awesome time! Loved every second!

The food was excellent the entertainment was great had a really great time the sunset was beautiful the picture they took...wow!!!! Would love to do this again

You can relax on a boat and enjoy the night view of Waikiki until the fireworks start. The Hilton's fireworks were launched in rapid succession and were very beautiful. It was quite crowded.

花火まで船に揺られてのんびりワイキキの夜景を見ることができます。
ヒルトンの花火は連発で、とても綺麗でした。結構満員？です。

Very friendly. Freddy took good care of us. Ship needs some updating but a good time and great views of Honolulu.

We had a great time, excellent food, very friendly staff, awesome entertainment.

I really like the cruise. I've been on it a couple if times. They always go out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time. The first time we saw whales, the second time we raced another cruise and everybody got involved. The views of Waikiki and Diamond head are amazing. This is the way to start out a vacation to Honolulu.

this cruise was the best part of our honeymoon! Delicious, (yet strong) drinks, great energy and hospitality by the staff, and amazing overall time! Several dolphins swam along side our boat during the cruise-it was unforgettable! We want to go again!!!

The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the ocean side was amazing! The Mai Tai was delicious too! We were blessed with great weather, and the sunset was very beautiful. I participated with eight colleagues from work, and everyone was satisfied. I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii.

海側からの、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチの眺めは最高でした！マイタイも美味しかった！
お天気にも恵まれ、夕陽もとても綺麗でした。
会社の同僚たちと８人で参加しましたが、みんな満足していました。
ハワイに行ったら、また参加したいと思います。

While the activity itself was good and the captain and crew were attentive....the travel arrangements were subpar and caused eight of us to squeeze into vehicles not meant to transport that many people. The other tour participants ranged from families with small children to young adults who called it a "booze cruise" .... I would suggest that the tours be advertised as either "family friendly" or a "party tour", which is one that freely hands out alcohol to young folks who are interested in partying. Having tours designated as such would allow the people seeking the particular type of activity to choose which tour to sign up for, the company can have it both ways. Overall, we enjoyed the activity ... Just not all of our fellow passengers.

Since we went to Hawaii for relaxation rather than activities, this was the best attraction for us. Although there were no Japanese participants, there were no situations that particularly required language skills. The staff is kind, so I hope you can participate without worry. The view of the sea and Hawaii from the front of the boat, along with the coolness and beauty unique to the evening, is exquisite! The all-you-can-drink option is also wonderful. I think it would be even more enjoyable with a partner, spouse, or friends.

アクティビティ目的でなく、のんびり目的でハワイに行ったので、我々にとってはこれが一番のアトラクションでした。日本人の参加はないものの特に語学力が必要な場面はないです。スタッフさんも優しいので、心配なく参加してほしいです。船の先頭から眺める海とハワイの眺望、それから夕方ならではの涼しさと美しさは絶品です！飲み放題なのも素敵です。彼氏彼女やご夫婦、友達でいくと、より一層楽しめると思います。

Beautiful cruise! Great food and the dancers were stunning! Highly recommended! Service was outstanding!!! We had a great time!!!

We had a spectacular time! Easy to book, easy to get on board, DELICIOUS crab and steak and ice cream ! Mai Tais are excellent! Gorgeous dancers and costumes! I loved the ukulele musician, he was wonderfully entertaining and kept everyone happy. He has a beautiful voice! Our pictures on the Star are unforgettable. This really made our last night in Hawaii memorable. Junior was our staff member and he was terrific. Thank you for the night of a lifetime!
