The cruise was good, the weather, not so much. The captain and bartender were very friendly, and entertaining.

We had a great experience on this dinner cruise. The entertainment was outstanding and the firework show was just the icing on top. The waitress and staff went beyond expectations to make sure we were having a great time. The food was good but I wish they would give an option for the lobster. I do not care for lobster and therefore did not eat it. I just wish the steak would have been a larger portion since we did not eat the lobster. Other than that, excellent time!

Great crew and great experience. Don't miss out on heaven!

We were a bit anxious being the only Japanese people, but fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member from Okinawa, and we were able to have a fun conversation about Hawaii. It's a great tour where you can enjoy both fireworks and the sunset.

日本人は僕たちだけで不安でしたが、たまたま沖縄出身の日本人スタッフがいて楽しいハワイの話をすることが出来ました。花火とサンセットの両方を味わえるお得なツアーです。

Wow, what an amazing cruise!!! The weather was perfect, the sunset was dazzling, and my wife was stunning. With the sun setting in the west, Diamond Head looming in the east, and just the wind in our sails, we couldn't have asked for a more memorable experience. To top things off, there was a rain shower on Diamond Head that resulted in a rainbow, absolutely gorgeous!!! The crew was great and the food was delicious. We were given 2 drink tickets each, my recommendation is to purchase the Makani insulated tumbler, twice the drink for only $8. We opted for the Makani signature High Tide, quite tasty. This was our second adventure on the Makani, both were awesome!!! Highly recommended. A special Thank You to Mikiko at Veltra for keeping me on track!!!

Lots of fun. Never waited for a refill. Only one type of cocktail for the cruise but it was good. Excellent view of the sunset.

Boarding directly from Waikiki Beach, I was blown away by the refreshing breeze as we headed out to sea. Onboard, I raised my spirits with cocktails made by a nice guy. Surfing alongside several surfboards was an incredibly valuable experience.

ワイキキヒーチから直接乗船　気持ちいい風に吹かれて海原へ。
船上ではナイスガイの作るカクテルでテンションあげます。
何隻のサーフボードと共に波乗り。とても貴重な体験でした。

I booked for myself and 10 friends a cocktail sunset cruise with Island Magic in May 2015. The event was to celebrate my 50th - all 10 of us rocked up with our birthday t-shirts and in the mood for something special.

The cruise, drinks, crew, view and everything was wonderful, could not fault anything it was such a GREAT way to start my fiftieth celebrations, chilled out, relaxing and terrific fun. Thank you!

In May 2015, my spouse and I participated with my four parents. The reception staff member was easy to spot as he was setting up umbrellas on the beach in front of Outrigger Reef. The waves and wind were calm that day, and thankfully, there was no seasickness among the family, which I had been worried about. Drinks were unlimited, but to avoid using the boat's restroom, I limited myself to two of my favorite beers. The local staff spoke only English, but I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand everything. The young crew was very attentive.

The weather was great, and we enjoyed the same scenery as shown in the photos on the website. My parents, aged 79 and 75, were delighted and said they enjoyed it more than a large cruise ship. This is a recommended optional tour with good access and an affordable price.

2015年5月に私たち夫婦と私の両親4名で参加しました。
レセプションのおじさんはアウトリガーリーフ前のビーチにパラソルを立てていたのですぐにわかりました。この日は波も風も穏やかで、心配していた家族の船酔いもありませんでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、船のトイレを使わずにすむようにと、大好きなビールも2本で我慢しました。現地スタッフなので全て英語ですが、もし聞き取れなくても十分楽しめると思います。若いクルーが色々気を配ってくれます。
天候も良く、HPの紹介写真と同じ景色を楽しめました。79歳と75歳の両親も「大型客船よりも楽しめた」と喜んでいました。アクセスが良くお手軽価格のお勧めのオプショナルツアーです。

We decided to go see authentic dance at the request of my wife's father. He was very excited about the Tahitian dance and was thrilled, saying, "That hip-shaking dance was great!" He was so into it that he plans to buy a video of Tahitian dance as soon as we return home. I was able to do a good deed for my father-in-law, who experienced his first trip abroad. Thank you very much.

妻のお父さんの希望で、本場のダンスを見にいく事になりました。タヒチアンダンスにお父さんも大興奮で、”あの尻振りダンスは良かった”と大喜びしていました。
帰国次第、タヒチアンダンスのビデオを購入するくらいのハマりようで、初めての海外となったお父さんに良い親孝行が出来ました。
ありがとうございます。

This booze cruise was great. I've been on it twice and had a pleasant experience both times. Everyone was having a good time even the guys on the boat and captain are awesome people! Must do if your in Waikiki and you want alcohol.

We wanted to do something special to end our week in Oahu and after reading some excellent reviews we booked this cruise. We booked it the same day with only about 4 hours before it departed...the phone staff were so helpful and patient as we selected a cruise. We had some challenges accessing the website to print our voucher but the reservation staff was so patient and assured us there would be no problem.

We used the pick up option and the driver was so pleasant and helpful, he made us feel like we had known each other forever.


Every member of the staff we came in contact with from reservation, shuttle driver, cruise staff..everyone made us feel so welcome and didn't hesitate to extend that extra effort!

The cruise was amazing with views of Diamond Head and Oahu..music was enjoyable and the food was delicious! The Cruise was a perfect amount of time as It is still early enough to continue your evening when you return.

We would definitely recommend this cruise and look forward to sailing with them again!

It was the perfect, romantic end to our amazing week in Oahu!

I entered through the VIP entrance and received a welcome drink. There were some snacks and a commemorative photo opportunity (this time with an Elvis impersonator), but I thought just the photo would be enough. Since I was about to have dinner, I honestly didn't want to eat and felt it was a waste of time.
Once I took my seat next to the stage, dinner began. The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable time. I had delicious lobster and steak. I had ordered champagne in advance, so it was set up next to the table, which was a nice touch.
Now, regarding the show, the impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga performed. I personally love the songs of Michael and Gaga, so I was really excited and had a fantastic time. Michael's dancing was incredibly sharp and very skilled. He was a bit on the heavier side, though (laughs). I think it would be good for those attending to listen to the songs in advance. For someone like me who owns all of Michael's videos, it was a real treat.
After the show, you can get autographs on the commemorative photos you purchased and take pictures together. However, as expected, there is quite a line.

VIP入り口から入りウェルカムドリンクをいただきました。ちょっとしたおつまみや記念写真（今回はエルビスそっくりさん）もありましたが記念写真だけでいいと思いました。これからディナーを頂くので正直食べたくないし時間が勿体無いと感じました。
ステージ横の席に着くとディナーが始まります。スタッフも陽気でとても楽しい時間でした。ロブスター、ステーキと美味しくいただきました。予めシャンパンを頼んでおいたのでテーブル横にセッティングしてあり、嬉しい配慮でした。
さてショー肝心のショーですがエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、レディーガガさんのそっくりさんが出演しました。元々マイケルとガガの曲は好きでよく聞いていたので私的にはとても盛り上がってしまい、楽しくてしょうがない感じでした。マイケルのダンスもキレがすごくとても上手です。ちょっと太めでしたが（笑）行かれる方は予め曲を聞いておくとよいと思います。マイケルのビデオを全て持っている私にはたまりませんでした。
ショーが終わると、購入した記念写真にサインをして頂いたり一緒に記念写真を撮ることができます。ただ当然ですが結構並びます。

We participated with four family members and our grandmother.

To secure good seats, we lined up early for the circle seats. Thanks to that, we were seated in the front row, which was great for my mother, who has weak eyesight. We were able to go get food and enjoyed a lot of our favorites.

For drinks, we chose from the cocktails that were brought around. I started with a Mai Tai and then had a Blue Hawaii. They were very delicious, but it was a bit disappointing that the containers were clear cups. The food was also well-received by my grandmother, and there were meals for the children as well, which was nice.

The show became very exciting in the second half, and my wife was pulled onto the stage by a dancer to participate. There were many foreigners, and I think it’s more fun to join in without being shy. The final fire dance was spectacular, and the children were captivated. By the way, the announcements were only in English, so we found the MC parts a bit hard to follow.

It was a Hawaiian show that everyone from children to the elderly could enjoy, and it became a wonderful memory.

親子４人と祖母で参加しました。

良席を確保のために、サークル席ですが早めにならんで待ちました。
そのおかげでしょうか最前列の席にとうされ、視力の弱い母にはよかったです。
私たちから食事を取りに行けて、好きなものをたくさんいただきました。

飲み物はある程度、向こうからもってきたカクテルから選らんていました。
マイタイからはじまり、ブルーハワイをいただいたかな。
とても美味しかったですが、容器がクリアのコップだったのが残念でした。
料理は祖母にも好評で、子供たち用の食事もありよかったです。

ショーが後半大変盛り上がり、妻がダンサーに手をひかれて参加しました。
外人が多く、はずかしがらずに一緒に盛り上がった方が楽しいと思います。
最後のファイアーダンスは迫力満点で、子供たちも釘付けでした。
ちなみに、こちらは英語のアナウンスのみで我々にはＭＣの部分が分かりづらかったです。

子供から高齢者まで楽しめる、ハワイアンショーで良い思い出になりました。

There were only the two of us who were Japanese. When the sunset appeared through the gaps in the clouds, everyone on board was thrilled and it was the best experience. The drinks included delicious cocktails, beer, and unlimited juice. It was said that if you buy a special container for $5, you can board first, and all 30 people bought it. As for the boarding location, if you use the corridor inside the Outrigger Reef Hotel, you can get there quickly without getting lost. If you don't know the location, the Japanese staff inside the Outrigger Reef Hotel will kindly help you if you show them your voucher, so please go to the meeting place from inside the hotel. (The outside route is hard to understand.) This course is not available through regular travel agency options, so it's a shame that there are so few Japanese people. The price is reasonable, and since the boat is a sailboat that lets the wind take you rather than a dinner cruise, the time passes very pleasantly. I did use the restroom, but it wasn't so dirty that I couldn't hold it. Even if you can't speak English well, interacting with foreigners is enjoyable. I definitely want to ride this boat again the next time I go to Hawaii. I recommend it.

日本人は、私たち２人だけでした。　夕日が、雲の隙間に出てきた時、乗っている皆で、感動の大騒ぎ　最高でした。飲み物は、美味しいカクテル、ビール、ジュース飲み放題でした。専用容器５ドルを買うと優先で、先に乗船できるということでしたが、３０人皆買っていました。乗り組む場所ですが、アウトリガーリーフホテルの中の通路をつかうと迷う事なく早く行けます。場所が、わからなければ、アウトリガーリーフホテル内の日本語案内で、バウチャー見せるとやさしく教えてくれますので、ぜひホテル内から集合場所に行って下さい。（外回りは、分かりずらいです）このコースは、普通の旅行社のOPには、ないので、日本人が、少ないのは、残念ですね。お値段も安いし、ディナークルーズより船が、風まかせのヨットですので、とても気持ちよく時間が、過ぎます　　おトイレは、やはり私は、使ってしまいましたが、我慢できないほどの汚さでは、なかったです、　外国人との交流もうまく英語が、しゃべれなくても楽しいです。　次回ハワイにいく時もぜひこの船に乗りたいです。おすすめします。

The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The guys on the boat kept us entertained with their singing and antics. Well worth the money and time spent. Don't forget sunscreen though.

We were staying in KoOlina and this show arranged for us to be picked up and dropped off at our resort. This was an added bonus to the show. In addition, we couldn't believe the quality of the food served. We had lobster, filet mignon and salmon (along with salad, side dishes & dessert) all of which was cooked perfectly. The show was also top notch - with the impersonators portraying Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Lady Gaga in detail. You could tell that they studied their counterparts and copied their voices and dance style/moves to perfection. We truly enjoyed the show and recommend it to anyone who wants a fabulous dinner and wonderful live entertainment.

Wow.What an amazing show.The meal was also amazing to.I would recommend this show and dinner to anyone that wants to have an awesome night out.Cocktails and Nibbles before the show started.The staff were also amazing to very friendly and welcoming.You also get to have photos with Elivis, Jackson,Lady gaga.The performance is a WOW factor awesome.This is a must do when you go to Hawaii.Thanks again to the Staff and performers.Worth every penny.

My friend and her Mother from Australia joined up with me and we went on this cruise to celebrate her Mother's 80th Birthday. My friend is a vegetarian and she was a little concerned that there would not be anything she liked from the buffet. She was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious (and hot) and there were sufficient dishes that she could enjoy. Drinks were also good not watered down and surprisingly quite a good variety to choose from. We had two drinks each which were included in the price. The ship was very clean with plenty of room for everyone to move around freely either inside or outside. We left on time and the crew were really nice and also quite funny giving the safety talk. I was very glad we had chosen this particular Sunset Cruise as was very enjoyable and we were pleased with the level of service provided to us. The weather was perfect and the sunset amazing. WE will recommend this cruise to our friends in Australia and in California as it is good value for a very good price.+l y

I have lived in Hawaii since 1985. My niece from Indiana visited for a week. I took her on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise, having never been on it myself. I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome! We both loved it. The pre-boarding hula & Hawaiian music, the on-board entertainment, the food, the views and the friendly staff were all very enjoyable. When other friends and family come to visit, I will be sure to take them. It was the highlight of my niece's visit!

Love, love, loved the dinner cruise. This was our first time in Hawaii and I must say I am happy that we chose this as one of the activities to attend to. From the very beginning when we got picked up from the hotel, welcoming at the cruise ship, dinner, entertainment and fireworks, this is definitely a night that will be forever cherished. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive especially our table server Rosey, she constantly made sure we had enough crab (purchased steak and all you can eat crab meal) and glasses were filled with drinks. Just AWESOME!!! The music and performers were great as well. At the end of the night we watched fireworks out on the deck. Overall my husband and I had a most memorable evening and recommend if you have not already done so this is one of the a Hawaii activities you don't want to miss!!!

My fiancee and I had a great time on the Sunset Sail. The check in process was very easy and fast. The 2 man crew were great as well. We enjoyed the great views and drinks from the water. I just wished the weather would have cooperated more. It was pretty cloudy and rained a little. However, we still had a great time overall! I would definitely recommend.

On this day in Honolulu, the weather was quite changeable, with sunshine, clouds, and rain throughout the day. Just as we were about to board the catamaran, the skies began to look ominous, but on the water, there was a refreshing breeze and slightly larger waves, making for a fun sailing experience as we occasionally got splashed by the waves.

This time, we were the only Japanese tourists, and the explanations were, of course, in English. Even though we arrived at the meeting point on time, there was no catamaran...

I had been at the Sheraton Hotel the day before and had seen the boat docked, so I was confident that I was at the right meeting point, but I started to feel a bit anxious. Since I couldn't speak English, I showed the voucher at the counter and pointed to the time, and they informed me that the time had been changed.

I was able to fully enjoy the beautiful sea, sky, the city of Waikiki, and Diamond Head all at once. I will participate again next time.

この日のホノルルは、晴れたり、曇ったり、雨に降られたりのコロコロ天気が変わる一日で、丁度カタマラン号に乗る頃、雲行きが怪しくなったのですが、海上は爽やかな風とちょっと大きめの波で、時々波しぶきを浴びながらの楽しいセーリングでした。

今回、日本人観光客は私たちだけ、説明は当然英語・・
集合場所に時間通り行ってもカタマラン号は無く・・

前日にたまたまシェラトンホテルにいて、停泊を見ていたので集合場所は間違いないと確信していたのですが、少し不安になりました。
英語がしゃべれないのでカウンターでバウチャーを見せ、時間の所を指さしていると時間を書き換えて変更になった事を教えてくれました。

綺麗な海と空とワイキキの街そしてダイヤモンドヘット、
ハワイの良さを一度に満喫出来ました。
次回また参加します。

Amazing time, fun atmosphere! We went as a family of 4 adults a 7yr old & 1yr old. I wasn't too sure if it would be children friendly but it was. Well worth the money. It was a great start to our vacation. The Maitais were great but be careful they creep up on you. The captain & bartender were amazing and attentive. Just bring a light coat because it is at night and of course with the wind it could get chilly but good thing I read a review and went prepared. Loved it!!!

My husband booked this for me for my birthday. The stuff was very friendly and funny and very nice. The buffet style dinner was very good. The two drink voucher included alcoholic drinks and the Mai Tais were super yummy. They gave you a option of purchasing a large souvenir cup for $8.00 which you may use your drink ticket to refill rather than the small plastic cup. Way better deal.. We sailed around diamond head and then back to Waikiki. The sun set was amazing.There was nothing to complain about at all on this boat . It was definitely worth it and i would do it again on my next trip to the island .This is a must do so my sure it's on your list of things to do list . If you're looking to surprise someone for their birthday or even pop the question this is a perfect way to do it I highly recommend it.

Great experience, had very good time, food was awesome

We took our 3 children aged 2,4 and 9 and we all had a fabulous afternoon. The staff are friendly and professional and it was a real highlight of our stay. It's a must do!

This was the worst dinner cruise I've ever experienced. It felt more like a fishing boat. It was rocky for families with children, and the dinner was terrible... I regret not choosing something like Five Star. Next time, I will join a cruise on a larger ship.

今までで、ディナークルーズとしては、最悪でした。釣りに行く船やないですか。子供連れには、揺れるし、ディナーは、まずいし...
ファイブスターとかに、したら良かったと、後悔しています。次回は、大きな船のクルーズに参加します。

It was a special Friday night! We sailed all the way to the diamond head and came back to around Waikiki and stayed in the best spot for the firework. The firework together with the view of Honolulu seen from the sea was exquisite!
There was nothing to complain about the boat trip - the boat was clean and had enough space for everybody to enjoy the ocean view and the wind. The drink and food served was good, and the crews were very very friendly.
The boarding time was about 3 hours which felt perfect for me.
Some people didn't feel good because of sea sick, and I regretted not to having brought wind breaker - so prepare those for your own sake.

Loved the show and it was great to have some time at the end to take photos with the performers. A great night!
