The crew was so funny and nice, and we had some amazing views of the sunset and twilight! It was the perfect length and we had a blast on the boat.

Had an awesome time, the crew was checking in with us super often to see if we needed drinks or wanted pictures. Was a great experience, wish we could have stayed on the boat longer!!

Captain John and his crew provided us with an amazing time filled with beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamondhead and the sunset from the comfort of a catamaran. The crew was also helpful pointing out turtles, whales and other wildlife when they were present. The option to order food for the trip was helpful and the menu options were great! The crew made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end. This is a five-star experience!

Amazing!!! 10/10 recommend! Staff was amazing, food was amazing-the overall experience was awesome! Will definitely do again. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Had an amazing night, saw dolphins! Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely worth it, wonderful experience!

The guys and captain were amazing. Jeff was awesome as always! What a great crew and I will definitely be back for more!

The boat was comfortable! The crew was outstanding and made sure that all the passengers had an amazing time. The boat left on time, and the crew made sure everyone got on and off safely. The views were outstanding. If the weather says the waves will be rough take some Dramamine.

Jeff & justin were awesome! Such a fun experience and our group had so much fun out there out in the water. Felt like we had our own catamaran

Went on the 1 1/2 hours sunset cruise with Captain Johnny and it was great. We enjoyed the trip and the sunset view was amazing. Tons of pictures and lots of fun. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommending this trip.

Great experience. It is worth the price. I've never been the ocean that far away from shore.

The staff was extraordinary!
The went out of their way to make us feel comfortable!
Outstanding!

I celebrated my 30th birthday on 12/21. My bf and I had an amazing time. We brought a bottle of champagne and chips. Watched the sunset together. The captain and his crew were very friendly. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!

My wife and I went while on our vacation. We had a terrific time interacting with the staff and other guests. Highly recommend!

This was a beautiful cruise with excellent customer service. Captain Johnny was the best. He called to help to provide directions and he made the trip a wonderful experience. He and his crew were great and the food was excellent. It was a wonderful evening that could not be matched. 5 star!!

I wish the cruise had been longer but I understand during covid everything is different. everyone had planty of space and very few aboard. Drinks were Plentiful.

The ride was so much fun! Me and my friends had a blast. The sunset was beautiful but since it’s winter time it does go down a little earlier. The crew were super friendly and the drinks were delicious

Sunset cruise was amazing - I highly recommend it. Cheers

it's a vey enjoyable experience. we spent about 1.5 hrs on the boat we love it

Had a great time. Crew was alot of fun. We loved Noah, and Fabio( his name isn't Fabio but that's what they call him.) Great soundtrack and yummy maitai's that flowed freely. It was at 25% capacity because we went 5 days after travel restrictions were lifted ...on the sunset cruise it didn't feel empty or like we were only getting part of the experience.( Most activities during corona felt that way)
And the scenery was incredible!
we had a great time and would definately go again!!!

We've been on a few sunset cruise's in the past, this one had the best drinks, views of the coast, waves, boat, sunset and crew by far! It's a must for couples.

Me and my boyfriend went during our stay in Waikiki and we had such a fantastic time. Even my boyfriend who is hesitant about boats/water activities loved it. The staff was so friendly and funny. It wasn't too crowded as a covid 19 precaution which was nice. And the mai tai's were 10/10.

Specific shoutout to Jeff on the crew. He made our trip even more amazing with some recommendations for hikes and food spots and he was just plain fun to talk to!

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely evening on this board. The water was a bit bumpy but the captain sailed her right. Crew was on top of serving you drinks. I certainly recommend this cruise.

The crew was incredibly nice, drinks were tasty and the whole trip just breathtaking!! Loved it!!!

This was the first activity/cruise my boyfriend and I went on since the pandemic started in March. Now that things on Oahu are opening up again we wanted to get out and have a nice evening. When we checked in on the beach, one of the crew members (wearing a mask) provided hand sanitizer and had us both sign in. Then we boarded and were served drinks right away (corona beer or maitais). Oahu's current regulations allow boats to carry 25% capacity on tours, so manu kai is allowed to have 12 passengers on board now. This actually made it really enjoyable because there was so much room to spread out across the catamaran. As for masks, the crew didn't enforce face masks or social distancing to any extent. The only time you were told to put on a mask was at check-in, boarding, and de-boarding. Once you're on the boat, you were told you didn't have to wear it and none of the crew members were wearing masks during the cruise. Overall I'd say they did the bare minimum, if that, for preventing the spread of coronavirus so I'd recommend going for a sunset cruise that is really putting in more effort to keep their guests and community safe.

The size of the boat feels neither too big nor too small, but if you are cruising for the first time, I would recommend a slightly larger ship. I think it's better not to expect much from the meals on this type of tour. However, the fireworks viewed from the shore create a very nice atmosphere. Since it's a catamaran, it seems to have less rocking, but after all, it's a yacht, so if the wind picks up, it can rock quite a bit. By the way, during my time, there was hardly any rocking, but it's safe to assume that it will generally rock.

船のサイズは大きからず、小さからずという感じですが、初めてクルージングされるのであれば、もう少し大きな船をオススメします。この手のツアーでの食事は期待しない方が良いと思います。ただ岸からみる花火はとても雰囲気は良いです。カタマランですので揺れは少ないようですが、しかし所詮ヨットですので風が出てくれば、かなり揺れます。ちなみに私の時はほぼ揺れはなかったですが、基本揺れると思っておいて間違いないと思われます。

I really enjoyed the buffet before the show! The hula dance during the buffet was entertaining and got me excited before the show even started. I was also allowed to take photos during the show, and I was able to take pictures with the performers at the end, which made for great memories. It was amazing!

ショーの前のビュッフェもとても楽しめました！
ビュッフェ中にフラダンスで楽しませて下さって、ショーが始まる前からワクワクできました。
ショー中も写真を撮っていいとのことと、最後に出演されていた方と写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。最高でした！

This year's trip to Hawaii is my 21st, and I participate in this cruise twice a year, during spring and Christmas. I have many acquaintances among the band members and staff, and they always provide a fun experience. I will be participating again this year.

今年のハワイ旅行は２１回目で、このクルーズには、毎年・春とクリスマスの時期に２回参加しています、バンドマンやスタッフにも知り合いが多く楽しく
対応してくれます、今年も参加します、

When I come to Hawaii, I always make sure to include sunset sailing in my plans. Once you experience it, you'll be hooked! I thoroughly enjoyed sailing while taking in views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, as well as watching the beautiful sunset.

This time, what impressed me the most was encountering a pod of dolphins. At first, I could see something like dorsal fins peeking through the waves, and they occasionally jumped to show themselves. Sometimes they even twisted while jumping... They swam alongside the boat for a long time, which was so exciting that I couldn't take my eyes off them. Seeing dolphins swimming in the ocean for the first time truly made me feel "amazing!"

After the sun sets, the temperature drops, so a windbreaker is necessary. I'm really looking forward to what discoveries await on my next sailing!

ハワイに来たら、必ずサンセットセーリングは予定に入れています。
一度体験したら、もう病みつきですよ！
船上からワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドなどを眺めたり、沈みゆく美しい夕陽を見たりして、セーリングをたっぷり楽しめました。
今回、一番感動したのは、イルカの群れに遭遇したことです。最初は波間に背ビレのようなものが見え隠れしていたのが、時々ジャンプしてその姿を見せてくれました。時々ひねりながらジャンプすることも…。ずーっと船と並んで泳いでくれたので、目が離せないほど興奮しました。海でイルカが泳ぐのを初めて見て本当に「すごい！」と感じました。
日が沈んだ後は気温が下がるのでウィンドブレーカーは必要ですね。
次のセーリングでは、どんな発見があるのかとても楽しみです！

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Since I was there, I thought it would be nice to see a show, so I booked this place based on good reviews.

First, the food. The buffet-style dinner had a wide variety of options, including meat, fish, and cakes, and everything was very delicious. During the meal, they shared stories about history and we were able to watch a simple show.

After dinner, we moved to a room with a stage. Our seats were in the middle of the front row on the second floor, so we had a great view. The show included impersonations, a fire show, and hula dancing.

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos.

Both the food and the show were amazing!

初めてのハワイ旅行。せっかくなので、ショーを見たいなぁと思い、口コミが良かったこちらを予約しました。

まずは、ご飯。
ビュッフェスタイルの夜ご飯は、肉、魚、ケーキなど種類が多く、どれもとても美味しかったです。
食事中は歴史の話をしてくれたり、簡単なショーを見ることが出来ました。

食事が終わると、ステージがある部屋に移動。
ショーは２階席の１番前の真ん中くらいでしたので、凄く良く見えました。
ショーは、モノマネやファイヤーショー、フラダンスがありました。

ショーが終わると記念写真を撮ることが出来ました。

ご飯もショーも最高でした‼

I really like it. Why? Because there are few Japanese people. So I hope there won't be more! (A honest opinion) I ride every time, but this was my first experience with high waves. The meeting place changed suddenly, and we had to walk to board the boat. Once on board, the staff was as pleasant as always, and I was very satisfied. They remembered the alcohol I had last time, and we had a great conversation. Basic Japanese isn't understood, but you can still have a good time. Time flies by quickly. Depending on the day, snacks are provided, but sometimes they aren't. I think it's fine to bring your own.

とっても気に入ってます。何故か？日本人が少ないから。だから増えてほしくな～い　（正直な感想）毎回乗るが今回は初めての高波経験でした。集合場所も急遽変わり歩いての乗船　乗ってからはいつもどうりスタッフも気持ち良い対応で大満足　前回乗った時に飲んだアルコールを覚えてくれて　話が弾みました。基本日本語は通じませんが楽しく過ごせます　時間もあっという間に過ぎてしまいます。そのときによりスナック菓子がでますが出ないときもあります。持参しても良いと思います。

I participated on March 13 with my two sons. It was one of the activities we were really looking forward to, but... the meeting place was very difficult to find, and we ended up walking around a lot. When we finally arrived at the meeting spot and were waiting, a group of foreign young people came and cut in line as if it was normal, one by one, until we found ourselves at the very back. They were already drunk and making a lot of noise before we even got on the yacht.

I was satisfied that we could see the Hilton fireworks straight on, but the whole time it felt like they only cared about having fun themselves, and it was just a constant ruckus, which made it not enjoyable at all. It was just cold and not fun, and I wanted to go home quickly. I regretted that I should have spent my money and time on something else.

Since it was a trip to celebrate my son's entrance exams and it was his first time overseas, I signed up thinking he would enjoy it, but honestly, I was very disappointed. I will definitely not repeat this experience.

3/13に息子二人と参加しました。
とても楽しみにしていたアクティビティの一つだったのですが…集合場所がとても分かりにくく、かなり歩きまわりました。やっと集合場所に到着し、待っていると、私達の前に団体で来ていた外国人の若者があたり前のような顔をして割り込んで来て、一人増え、二人増え…で気づけば一番後ろに。
ヨットに乗る前から、酔っ払って大騒ぎしてました。
ヒルトンの花火は真っ正面から見れたので、満足してますが、自分達だけが楽しければいいというような感じで、終始大騒ぎで、全く楽しくなかったです。
ただただ、寒いし、楽しくないし、早く帰りたくて、こ
んな事なら、他の事にお金と時間を使えば良かったと、
後悔したぐらいです。
受験のお祝いを兼ねた旅行で初海外の息子もいたので、
楽しんで貰おうと思い申し込んだのですが、正直とてもがっかりしました。
リピートは絶対ありません。
