All Reviews for Sunset Cruises

Overall the cruise was pretty great. Every time ive been i get sea sick and usually its very easy to get the drink mixture for seasickness but my waiter sucked he was unprofessional and never came back without tracking him down. If that wasnt bad enough he never came back to give me more crab legs. Thats one of the main reasons my wife and come on this cruise. This experience was worse than before. I feel as though maybe he was new.i WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this cruise to anybkdy looking for something nice for a date night.

The whales were just fantastic, and we saw two spyhops, lots of flukes and around a dozen blows. All in all a just wonderful sight. Breakfast buffet was only average but who cares about that??!!!!

What a wonderful experience!
The crew on the Holokai did an exceptional job of taking care of us.
We even got to meet the fabulous owner of the Holokai, Soo.
We would highly recommend watching the beautiful Waikiki sunset aboard the newest catamaran on Waikiki! It was also fun eating at the Shorebird. We had a table right near the beach. A few steps out from the restaurant and you can see the Hilton fireworks show!
All in all, a great experience!
A big Mahalo to Soo and the crew of the Holokai!

I could see a bit of the tail in the distance, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see it well. (I was hoping to see it up close!) As for the tour, the meals were of sufficient quantity, and while they weren't particularly delicious, they were average, so I was generally satisfied.

遠くに尾びれが少し見えましたが、良く見えなくて残念でした。（もっと近くで見えるのか？！と期待していたのですが...）
ツアーとしては、食事も十分な量，質も特に美味しい！という訳では無いですが普通なので、概ね満足でした。

It was cloudy, but the cruise was amazing. I got a little too carried away with the free drinks on board and ended up drinking too much. I thought there were no restrooms, but when I asked the crew, they told me there were, which was a relief.

Now that I know there are restrooms, I will definitely use the service again in March.

曇りですが・・・クルーズは最高でしたが、船上でのフリードリンクに気を良くしてしまい飲み過ぎてしまいました。
トイレがないと思い込み、船員に聞くとあるとの事で助かりました。

再度、トイレがある事がわかりましたので、再度３月に利用させて頂きます。

The boarding area was hard to find, which made me a bit anxious. There were few Japanese people around, allowing me to really enjoy the travel atmosphere. I thought two hours would be short, but it felt like I had plenty of time on the boat. The all-you-can-drink option added to the sense of value. The boat was small, so it was fun to see the ocean up close.

乗り場がわかりにくく不安でした。
日本人が少なく、旅行気分を味わえます。
2時間は短いのかと思いきや、たっぷりと船に乗った感じがしました。
飲み放題もついておりお得感がありました。
船が小さいので海を近くに見られて楽しかったです。

We were lucky enough to see whales jumping out of water many times. Crew members were professional. They gave clear and accurate instructions on directions to which whales were just coming up to surface. Besides whale watch, the cruise trip itself was awesome. We had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful coastline of Oahu.

It is worth more than just a sail boat! There is no better way to enjoy an afternoon with gorgeous sunset at Waikiki! We liked the view, the cocktail, the captain...almost everything that we experienced. Sure will try it again if I'm back to Waikiki.

Transportation was completely hassle-free, allowing for a worry-free experience. During the cruise, the wind was incredibly strong, so women should pay attention to their clothing. I saw whales! Thank you for the amazing experience.

送迎などはまったく問題なく安心して参加できます。クルーズ中は風がものすごく強いので女性は服装に注意。クジラ見れました！感動体験をありがとうございました。

This cruise was great! Mostly because of the crew. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They watched out for your safety. The boat itself is very sturdy. There is an inside cutout that you can sit in, out of the weather if need be. I took my elderly family and they did great!!!

Had an awesome time on the Hilton Hawaiian Village Sunset Cocktail Sail! Josh, Masa and Brad were a very professional, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Can't wait to come back next year to do this again!

My sister and I had the best time. Didn't see any fireworks, but that really was ok.
If go back to Hawaii we will definitely be doing this again. The captain & mate were
very entertaining. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!

It was comfortable without any rocking on the large ship. I was lucky to see whales. I also enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, making it a great cruise experience.

大きな船で揺れる事もなく快適でした。くじらを見る事ができてラッキーでした。ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色も見られて、クルーズとしても楽しめました。

In the midst of a beautiful sunset, a baby whale appeared on the surface of the sea. I was moved by this unexpected development, as I had not been able to see anything during the whale watching the day before. Next time, I would like to participate with my parents.

なんと、美しいサンセットのさ中、子供のクジラが海面に姿を現しました。
前の日に、ホエールウヲッチングでは見ることが叶わなかったため、今回の予想外の展開に感動しました。
次は、両親と一緒に参加したいと思いまいた。

Had an awesome time on the boat! The sunset was pretty and the drinks were awesome! Had a blast!

I've been to Hawaii nearly 20 times, but it was my first time coming in January, so it was my first whale watching experience! Although it said "pickup available," adding the pickup increased the price, so I took The Bus. Ideally, I should have gotten off at the corner of Nimitz Highway on routes 19 or 20, but since those buses were taking a while to arrive, I ended up taking an E bus and got off at the corner of Alakahi Road. At that point, I was about 10 minutes late for the 8:00 AM meeting time, and in a panic, I walked another 10 minutes to arrive, only to find that many people were still checking in (the boat's departure time was 8:45 AM).

Once the boat departed, I had breakfast, and as soon as I went out on deck, we spotted a whale! It showed its belly and splashed down dramatically! After that, we saw two more whales that stayed close to us, and on our way back, we spotted another whale on the Waikiki Beach side. The weather was nice, the sea was calm, and most importantly, I was very satisfied to see the whales.

20回近く来たハワイだが、1月に来たのは初めてだったので、初のホエールウォッチング！
「＜送迎あり＞」と書いてあるけれども送迎をつけると料金が増すので、The Busで行き、本当は19番20番でニミッツハイウェイの角で降りればよいのだが、19番20番がなかなか来ないので、来たEかなんかに乗ってしまい、アラカイロードの角で下車。その時点で集合時刻とされた8時を10分ぐらい過ぎていたが、大焦りでさらに10分ほど歩いて到着してみると、まだたくさんの人が受付をしているところだった。（船の出航時刻は8時45分。）
船が出発し、朝ごはんを食べ、甲板に出るとすぐにクジラ発見！おなかを見せてダイナミックにバッサーン！その後も別な2頭のクジラがつかず離れずいて、折り返して戻る途中にもワイキキビーチ側にまた別なクジラを発見。天気も良く海は凪いで、なによりクジラが見られたので大満足。

Capt and crew were anazing. They were very personable and made a great relaxing sail. Food was not too heavy but enough to keep you going. Drinks were strong and delicious, overall amazing sail. Most people were either looking to go back out on the snorkeling trip or had come from it earlier in the day. That good of a sail.

The entertainment was nice, food was good. We enjoyed the fireworks show

This cruise was awesome, the staff was very entertaining and Mai Tai's went down smoothly, very tasty! Would recommend this cruise to everyone!

I couldn't see it.
There are about two days like that in a month.
It's disappointing, but there's nothing we can do about it.

I received a ticket to ride again during this season.

見られませんでした。
１ヶ月に２日くらいはそういう日もあるということ。
残念でした。こればっかりはしょうがないですね。

今シーズン中にもう一度乗れるチケットをいただきました。

I participated after dinner. You take off your shoes and go barefoot. After departure, the DJ played upbeat music, making it feel like a club on the boat. I was able to request various cocktails from the bartender. It was great that we stopped at the best spot to enjoy the fireworks. We were the only Japanese people there, but even though I couldn't understand English, everyone was friendly and it became a fun memory. There is a restroom, but it's small and not very convenient, so I think it's better to take care of that before boarding.

夕食後に参加しました。靴を脱いで裸足で乗ります。出港後はＤＪがノリのイイ音楽をかけてくれ、船上のクラブみたいでした。カクテルもバーテンダーに色々リクエストできました。花火をベストスポットが見られる場所に止まって観賞できてよかったです。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、英語が分からなくてもみんなワキアイアイと話しかけてきてくれて楽しい思い出になりました。トイレはありますが、小さくて使いづらいので乗る前に済ませてきた方がいいと思います。

wonderful experience.
However, Lunch was not so good.

When it comes to Hawaii, whale watching is a must! I was really looking forward to it and signed up! The boat was large and had many Japanese and foreign tourists, which was great! Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales. There are certainly whale watching tours every day, and when I think about it, it's not guaranteed that you can see them every day. I had somehow convinced myself that whale watching meant you would definitely see whales, but it seems there are many days when you don't. I received a ticket for the next trip, but I wonder when I will be able to visit Hawaii again... It turned out to be just a cruise instead of whale watching. Well, the scenery was nice, but it got a bit boring after a while. I think I would have preferred to go snorkeling instead, even though there’s a chance of seeing whales, and it would be amazing if we did!

ハワイといえばホエールウォッチング！
楽しみに申し込みしました！
日本人も外国の観光客も多く乗った船も大きくて良かったです！
ただ残念ながらクジラは見られませんでした。たしかに毎日のようにホエールウォッチングツアーはあるだろうし、よく考えたらその毎日が毎日見れるわけじゃないですよね。 ただ、なんでかホエールウォッチングと聞いたら完全クジラに会えるもんだと思い込んでましたが、、見られない日も多いようでした。次回乗船券をいただきましたが、次にハワイに訪れられるのはいつのことか、、、
ホエールウォッチングではなく、ただのクルーズになりました、、まぁ、景色は良かったですがずーっとはちょっと飽きてしまいました。これなら、クジラじゃないけど、シュノーケリングとかしたかったかな、、ただクジラが見られるかもしれないし、見られたら最高だと思います！

We had a lot of fun on this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The service was excellent. We went on the fireworks cruise which was very nice. The crab legs were very good. The food was good, but could have been warmer. It may be hard on such a big boat. The only other thing that could have done better is we took the transportation from hotel to the boat and when we got there and started walking the girl leading us never talked to us just talked to another person and we just tried to keep up her so we knew where to go. When we got to boat we followed her on and went on wrong way and were corrected and told to go on another way. We were just following her on. She never turned around and said go on this way or have a good time. It was a little odd. Other than that it was a good time.

I love dinner cruises and have been on quite a few over the years, so I knew I had to go during this visit to Hawaii. We chose the One Star since we love crab and love AYCE crab even more!

Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep our plates full of crab, our glasses filled with drinks and would let us know when the sunset would be.

The show was fun, and the musicians are top notch! Although the weather did not cooperate, I will definitely go back again!

I participated on February 15th. We were able to see parent and child whales, but more than anything, the silence while waiting for the whales really enhanced the atmosphere. The English announcements on the ship also did a great job of building excitement.

2/15日に参加しました
親子の鯨を見る事が出来ましたが何より鯨を待つ間の静寂が雰囲気を盛り上げていました。船内の英語の放送も上手く盛り上げてくれました。

I attended the Three Star Lobster and Steak Dinner Cruise and I must say I was amazed at the customer service provided. Being on board with 1,000 passengers, the waiters and staffs did an amazing job with serving each guest on time. Our waitress was a doll, I believe Larissa is her name. The view of the sunset, and Diamond Head was breath taking. This tour is a must if you want to experience Paradise away from the city.

Be careful when selecting which type of meal you like because family members don't get to sit together if you eat something different. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time!

十分楽しかった。元々食事を期待しての参加では無く、ロブスターやヒレ肉は当然無しのバフェでしたが十分食事を楽しめた。５人家族、子供達も全員成人の構成です。
スタッフは一生懸命楽しませてくれたし、男性歌手はまずまずのエンタテイナーです。
たまたまですが、雲の全くない日で海に落ちる夕日は最高。狙ったとおり金曜の晩のヒルトンの花火も盛り上がりました。
毎年訪れるハワイでの１０年ぶりのサンセットディナークルーズでしたが、なかなかバカにしたものではありません。おすすめします。

Excellent experience worth every bit unlimited drinks very friendly and happy crew and the sunset was beautiful a must do
