All Reviews for Social Cruises & Activities

Last year, I participated in the Mai Tai Catamaran cruise to see the Hilton fireworks on Friday, and it was so wonderful that I wanted to join again, but I couldn't be there on Friday night this year, so I joined this one instead.
Like last year's fireworks cruise, everyone was from the West, and my husband and I were the only Japanese.
All the explanations were in English, but it wasn't a problem at all.
The fireworks from the catamaran were great, but the sunset was truly beautiful! ☆
I also got to see the amazing sight of a rainbow over Diamond Head ♪
Some other people's experiences mentioned light snacks included, but during our time, there were only unlimited drinks＾＾； I wonder if it varies by time??
The Mai Tai is easy to drink, like juice.
I hope to take some kind of cruise again the next time I go to Hawaii! ♪

昨年は、金曜日のヒルトンの花火を見るマイタイカタマランのクルーズに参加して、本当に素敵だったのでまた参加したかったのですが、今年は金曜夜にはいられなかったので、こちらに参加しました。
昨年の花火クルーズと同様、みんな欧米人の方で日本人は私達夫婦のみでした。
説明は全て英語ですが、特に問題ありません。
カタマラン船から見る花火も良かったですが、サンセットも本当にキレイでした☆
ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかったスゴイところも見られました♪
他の方の体験談に軽食付きと書かれていましたが、私達の時はドリンク飲み放題のみでした＾＾；　その時によるのでしょうか？？
マイタイはジュースのようで飲みやすいです。
また次回ハワイに行った際に、何らかのクルーズ船には乗りたいな～と思います♪

Great boat, Great food we had the steak and lobster. Beautiful dancing and entertainment.If your in the area I recommend this for any one.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

We had a really nice time! I got soaked with Waikiki ocean water, which was very refreshing. Worth the ride!

Please participate thinking of it as an attraction rather than a cocktail cruise. Once we set sail, they serve Mai Tais, and there is an all-you-can-drink option, but the conditions make it hard to enjoy. We continue to pass through areas with high waves, causing the boat to rock, making it difficult to drink or take photos. The splashes from the waves are intense, so it's not a good situation for enjoying drinks or capturing pictures. Also, not wearing a swimsuit was a mistake, as I couldn't fully enjoy the splashes of water. I highly recommend participants come in swimsuits. If you think of it as an attraction in swimwear, you can have a great time, but if you’re looking for a relaxing experience as a couple, it could turn out to be quite challenging, so please be careful.

まずカクテルクルーズと思わずにアトラクションと思って参加してください。
出航したらマイタイを振る舞ってくれ、その後も飲み放題ですが、とても飲める状況にはありません。波の高いポイントを通り続けるので、船が揺れてそれどころではありません。また波の飛沫が激しいので、お酒も写真も撮れる状況にありません。また水着じゃなかったのが失敗で、水飛沫も満喫できませんでした。参加する人は是非水着で参加してください。
水着でのアトラクションと思えば非常に満喫できますが、夫婦でまったりと考えたら大変なことになるのでお気をつけてください。

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing...the most beautiful & picturesque sunset I have ever experienced in my life!
The buffet dinner was very nice, the fish was so fresh and just melted in your mouth, there were also pulled pork, teriyaki chicken, salad, veges and from memory Im sure there was rice. Unfortunately we did not experience the Hawaiian show nor the dessert (as the sunset captivated us for the time until the fireworks viewing!). My daughter (13 yrs old) and I thoroughly enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise.

The sunset was really beautiful, and it became a great memory. I got a little tipsy, so I could only drink one cocktail. If you're prone to getting drunk easily, it's definitely a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.

夕陽がとってもきれいで、良い思い出になりました。ちょっと酔ってしまったのでカクテルが1杯しか飲めませんでした。酔いやすいかたは、やはり酔い止め必須かもです。

Guys were super friendly, the drinks were good and the view was awesome!!! It's worth the $

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I ended up acting at the last minute on the day of my visit, but I was able to easily find the place located between Halekulani and Sheraton. They serve all-you-can-drink cocktails that taste like pineapple, and you can also have beer and soft drinks like guava juice and cola. The pineapple cocktail, which was already salty, became extremely salty with the seawater added. I won't forget the beautiful view of the surfers up close and the rainbow that appeared!

ハワイが初めてで当日、ぎりぎりに行動してしまうことになってしまいましたがハレクラニとシェラトンの間のわかりやすい場所にありすぐに見つけることができました。
飲み放題でパイナップル味？のようなカクテルが配られますが、アルコールはビールやらソフトドリンクはグアバドリンクやコーラ等もいただけます。もとから塩辛いようなパイナップルカクテルが海水が入りすごくしょっぱかったです。本場のサーファーを近くでみられたのと虹がかかってすごくきれいだった景色は当分忘れられないかな！

What a great ride! Crew was great and music was awesome!! We had a blast!!

The cruise itself was pleasant, and we were able to see the sunset, but I have to make a candid comment: the price is a bit high. They say it's an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, but the alcohol seemed weak, and I hardly felt any buzz. There are other catamaran cruises available in Waikiki, so I don't think I'll be repeating this one.

クルーズ自体は、サンセットも見られましたし気持の良いものでしたが、あえて辛口のコメント。値段が、少々高いです。マイタイ飲み放題といいますが、アルコールが弱いようでほとんど酔いは感じませんでした。ワイキキには、他にもカタマランクルーズは出ているので、リピートはしないと思います。

The sunset sinking on the horizon is very beautiful and wonderful. The boat is small, so it sways a lot. However, the scenery was so lovely that I didn't get seasick. I did get splashed with water, but it dries quickly. The instructions before boarding were only in English, so I didn't understand them at all (^ ^ゞ But it wasn't a problem.

水平線に沈む夕日がとてもキレイで素晴らしいです。船は小さいのでよく揺れます。が、景色がキレイで酔いませんでした。水がかかります。スグに乾きますが。乗船前の注意事項は英語のみで、さっぱりわかりませんでした(^ ^ゞでも問題なかったです。

We participated as a couple. It was a nice day with good weather in the evening, so we were able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. It can be a bit chilly, so having a long-sleeve T-shirt is convenient. There are restrooms available, but I recommend using them before boarding if possible.

夫婦で参加しました。夕方の天気のいい日だったので、気持ちよくクルーズできました。少し肌寒い事もあるので長袖Tシャツあると便利です。後トイレはありますがなるべく済ませて乗る事をお勧めします。

Five adults were very satisfied (^o^)
It was three times more fun than we expected!
Next time, I want to ride during the sunset ^_^
We couldn't jump in because it was full on the day, so making an online reservation was definitely the right choice ^_^

大人５人大満足(^o^)
予想の3倍楽しかったですよ！
つぎはサンセットで乗りたいです^_^
飛込みは当日は満員で無理でした。ネット予約して大正解でした^_^

This is my fourth time in Hawaii, and I've used this service three times. I recommend it for the afternoon of the first day. It's a large catamaran, so there's not much rocking, which makes it安心 (safe).

ハワイは4回目ですが　内3回利用しています　
初日の午後にお勧めです
大型のカタマランですので　揺れもさほどなく
安心です　

I was late for the meeting time, but it was okay! I was the only Japanese person. In other tours, even if there was just one Japanese person, they would often reach out (of course in English) and show concern, but this time, there was absolutely no consideration, and I wasn't even asked if I wanted a drink refill. (Maybe they intentionally didn't ask since the other people were quite active.)

The other large group was having a great time at the front of the netting area (a wet spot where you could get splashed). However, it was quite cold, so I didn't have the luxury to join in. The sunset was beautiful, and there were turtles, making it an enjoyable cruise, but since I'm not very strong with alcohol (of course, there are soft drinks available), I felt it was just an ordinary cruise with one can of juice.

Well, it was average. The sunset looked more beautiful from Magic Island, and I can see turtles on other occasions as well. For those who love alcohol and can drink about ten cups, it seems like a great deal. I recommend it for those who understand English to some extent and want to have fun with a group on the boat.

集合時間に遅れましたが、大丈夫！と軽く受け入れてくれました。
日本人は私だけ。
他のツアーでは、日本人１人でも結構声をかけてくれたり、（もちろん英語です）
気にしてくれたり、でしたが、今回は全く何も気遣われず、飲み物のお替りも聞かれない感じ。
（他の人々が積極的だったので、敢えて他の人にも聞いてなかったのかも知れません）
他の大人数グループは先端の網のところ（水しぶきがかかったりする濡れる場所）で
大騒ぎしていて楽しそうでした。
が、結構寒く、そんな余裕はなし。
夕日は美しかったし、カメもいたりして楽しいクルーズでしたが、私はあまりアルコールに強くないので、（もちろんソフトドリンクもありますが）缶ジュース1本で、普通のクルーズって感じだったので、
まあ普通です。
サンセットもマジックアイランドから見たほうが美しかったですし、
カメも普通に他の機会にたくさん見れますし。
お酒大好きで、10杯くらい飲める、という人はおおいに元が取れる感じ。
英語がある程度分かって、グループで船に乗って騒ぎたい人にはおススメです。

The breeze was pleasant, and the sunset was wonderful. It was an open-style boat, with nothing obstructing the view, and I was very satisfied.

風も気持ち良くて、サンセットも素晴らしかった^ ^
おーぷんな感じの船で、遮るものがなく大満足でした。

I arrived in Hawaii without knowing that a hurricane was coming, and after a while of rain and clouds, I participated. One hurricane had already passed, but another was still offshore; despite this, the weather was clear and the conditions were perfect with no waves. The sunset was beautiful and it was the best. Besides our family of four, there were only four young women, and most participants were from Europe and America. The age range was diverse, and everyone was enjoying the sunset with a Mai Tai in hand. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハリケーンが来ているのを知らずにハワイに到着し、暫く雨だったり、曇ったりの後、参加しました。まだ、ハリケーンの１つは過ぎましたがまだもう一つ沖合いに残っていさるにもかかわらず、天気は快晴で、波もなく絶好のコンディションでした。夕日もきれいに見えて最高でした。日本人は私たち家族４人の他、若い女性のグループ４人だけで、ほとんどが欧米人。年齢層も様々で、みんなしみじみとマイタイ片手にサンセットを楽しんでいました。次回も絶対参加します！

I was able to easily experience a luau in Waikiki.
The show was very entertaining and authentic.
It became a wonderful memory for the whole family.

ワイキキで気軽にルアウを体験できました。
ショーはとてもおもしろく、本格的でした。
家族みんなのとてもいい思い出になりました。

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

I go to Hawaii every year and was aware of the boats anchored at the beach, but this was my first time participating in this cruise. I've been on regular dinner cruises before, and the food wasn't great, but I wanted my husband to enjoy his first time in Hawaii, and since I love cruises, I decided to join. It was definitely the right choice. The weather was perfect, and on the boat, there was an all-you-can-drink Mai Tai, which I enjoyed since I love alcohol. There were also snacks provided. There were no Japanese people on board, just everyone from overseas. Everyone was very friendly, and we took pictures together while enjoying the sunset and even saw a rainbow. It was the best cruise. My husband said he really enjoyed it too, and since we could disembark in the evening, we were able to go for a delicious meal afterward, making the most of our time. It was fantastic.

ﾊﾜｲには毎年行っており、ﾋﾞｰﾁに留まっている船の存在は知っていましたが今回初めてこちらで申し込み参加しました。普通のディナークルーズは行ったことがありお料理も美味しくないしでも初めてのﾊﾜｲを夫に楽しんでほしいのと、ｸﾙｰｽﾞ大好きな私も楽しみたいとこちらに参加。参加して大正解。ちょうどお天気も絶好調の中、船の中でﾏｲﾀｲ飲み放題ｗお酒大好きなので何杯かいただきました。おつまみのｽﾅｯｸ付。乗船しているのは日本人はいなくみんな海外の方でした＾＾　とっても気さくでみんなで写真撮りあったりして、ｻﾝｾｯﾄも虹も一緒に見ることができ最高のｸﾙｰｽﾞでした。夫もほんとに楽しかったといっており、夕方に船を下りれるのでｸﾙｰｽﾞ後においしいお食事にも行けて時間も有効活用。最高えでした。

Very fun. Dinner was amazing. Show was amazing, crew was amazing. Very fun and I will do this again when I come back to Oahu.

This tour was amazing, the guys on the ship were very chill and the views were incredible. I would go again if im in the area and to be able to drink on the boat was a great and fun idea. Its a must try for anyone!

I participated with five friends from my hula group. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations because the price was on the lower side, but it turned out to be an experience that exceeded my expectations. Although I've visited Hawaii many times, I've never seen such a beautiful sunset before. We were all deeply moved! The sunset, of course, along with the ocean, sky, wind, waves, and the view of Waikiki, plus the all-you-can-drink Mai Tais! Each element was simply amazing! There's no doubt this will become a repeat optional activity for our next visit!!

フラ仲間5名で参加しました。
正直、値段が安めなので期待はしていませんでしたが、期待値以上の体験になりました。
ハワイは既に何度も訪れているものの、こんなに素敵なサンセットを見ることができたことはありませんでした。全員で、感動しきり！サンセットはもちろん、海・空・風・波・ワイキキの景色、そして、飲み放題のマイタイ！どれも感激！の一言でした。次回からリピートするオプショナルになることは間違いありません！！

This was a lot of fun. Captain Steve filled us in as to what to expect and Chris was a great bartender and sailing mate. We went out just past Diamond Head and had a beautiful view of everything. The other cruisers were laid back and the conversation was a lot of fun. You must do this at least once.

Had a FABULOUS TIME!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise!! The crew was energetic and courteous!! Would highly recommend and definitely return!!!!

Overall, I had a great time. From the sunshine to the sunset, feeling the sea breeze while swaying with the big waves, the choice of music was also high-energy. The snacks and drinks served were delicious. The crew members were kind as well. My 4-year-old daughter was also in a good mood.

総合的に、
とっても楽しめました。
太陽の陽射しから夕陽、
大きな波に揺られながら感じる海風
、音楽の選択もハイテンションへ。
軽食にドリンクの振る舞いも美味しかった。
クルーの方々も親切です。
4歳の娘もご機嫌でした。

It felt like we were abroad since everyone else was from another country. The weather was nice, and it was a very pleasant sailing experience. I think an hour and a half was just the right amount of time—not too short, not too long.

They were selling drinks for $5, and I wanted to have one, but I decided to skip it just in case I got seasick. The waves were minimal, so I might have been fine to drink. Next time, I’d like to try the sunset cruise.

私たち以外外国の方でしたので海外にいる気分になれました。天気がよくてとても気持ちのいいセーリングでした。1時間半でしたので短すぎず長すぎずよかったと思います。
お酒が5ドルで販売してたので飲みたかったですが、船酔いを心配して念のためやめておきました。揺れは少なかったので飲んでも大丈夫だったかも。今度はサンセットクルーズに参加してみたいですね。

Great experience, better then expected. Would recommend it to family and friends.

The strong winds led to a cancellation on the day of the event. It was rescheduled for another day, but due to my travel schedule, I couldn't make the sunset cruise and had to switch to a night cruise where I could see the fireworks. The night view was very beautiful, but if I have the chance, I would like to participate in the sunset cruise next time. Since cancellations can happen suddenly due to weather, I think it's better to plan for the first half of the trip when adjustments to the schedule are easier.

当日は風が強くキャンセルになってしまいました。
別の日に振り替えとなりましたが、旅のスケジュールの関係でサンセットクルーズが無理となり、花火が見れるナイトクルーズへ変更となりました。
夜はとてもきれいでしたが、機会があれば次回はサンセットクルーズに参加してみたいです。
天候で当日急にキャンセルになることもあるので、スケジュールの調整がしやすい旅の前半にしたほうがいいと思いました。
