90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Mai Tai Fun Time

Reviewed by: Freddie

This sunset cruise was by far one of the highlights of my trip. I was lucky enough to have an outstanding crew that not only operated the boat but severed as bartenders and entertainment. Famous Amos, Mitch, and Noah were all the life of the party and kept the energy going throughout the trip. The boat ride did get bumpy at some points but that was all part of the fun. Overall this tour gave a great view of not only the sunset but of downtown Waikiki. I would most certainly recommend taking this tour and come ready to party.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Pretty neat!

Reviewed by: Nick

It was pretty nice, overall, nothing spectacular or anything, but it is about what we expected. They have a greeting when you board and do pictures and hula dancers. Everyone is super nice and cool. Then they will seat you at your table, as you are immediately presented with salad with cheese and crackers, with non alcoholic champagne. As soon as they shove off, you will do a toast. They will then start taking orders for drinks and then soon bring out your lobster (which is a FULL lobster!) There will be singing and entertainment the entire time, with dancers as they showcase each Polynesian island just like the Luaus do. They then bring out your steak, which is just a tiny sirloin steak and very raw/undercooked. So make sure you tell them a head of time to cook it to your liking. I didn’t do this and never eat rare streak, so it made me very sick later that night. Also, I noticed we only received two drink tickets not three. But the drinks are free (I think you can order more and just have to pay for it.) Then they will bring out your dessert after your meal. You are free to move around the boat and take pictures and videos as well through out the cruise. It goes by very fast and next thing you are back to the dock to debark. The sunset was very nice and we all took pictures on the top deck. At the very end, as it’s getting closer back to the dock, they sort of turn it into a dance-club style. Everyone is dancing to modern songs until you debark. Overall, it’s pretty cool and fun and the food was great! You will be very full too!

Fantastic dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Shemika

I booked this dinner cruise for myself and my 10 year old. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and we enjoyed the live entertainment. My 10 year clapped, danced and participated from his seat when the audience was asked to join in during the entertainment. I would definitely recommend.

90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

Absolute Highlight of Our Trip

Reviewed by: Happy Couple

From the acrobatic flips from the crew as we headed out to the waters to the quiet observation facing the sunset once it began, it was a great experience. Appreciated the safety guidelines at the beginning, and the crew making sure we are safe at all times. Recommend bringing seasickness patch/medicine just in case. You get tossed up a bit towards the front where the netting is, but it is so much fun!

Good food and good entertainment

Reviewed by: Christina

The food came out in good timing intervals. Good food. Drinks were okay. I ended up switching to wine as the mixed drinks were not my favorite. I enjoyed the entertainment. Even with a Dramamine I was still a bit nauseous until we got out of the harbor but once on the ocean everything was fine. Beautiful sunset and great view of Waikiki.

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Not what we expected

Reviewed by: Kelli

We had a lot of issues finding the place we needed to check into the sail. The restaurant you need to go to is marked on Google maps but there is no street signs for it so it's very easy to miss. We drove past the alley you need to walk down twice. It's located in the busiest part of town and if you miss it, it takes about 10 minutes to loop back around due to the amount of traffic and one-way streets. After finding the alley, we realized the restaurant had no designated parking. We called the restaurant who informed us we would need to valet at the hotel out front which was a mess and about 15 cars backed up on the street. We were going to miss checking due to the nightmare that came with finding this place so we sent half our group on the sail, the other half stayed behind so our driver wouldn't be alone. They sold our remaining seats to walk ups and didn't refund our money. The sail itself is not as advertised and not appropriate for children. We were expecting a peaceful sunset cruise that was appropriate for children since we are allowed to bring them. While the ocean views were stunning, the sail is more of a party cruise with a bunch of drunk adults and very loud music. Overall, this excursion was a bust for our family.

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Relaxed sunset sail!

Reviewed by: Mariam

I had a blast on this sunset sail. It was the perfect "pau hana" (happy hour, end of work day)!

For drinks, they had cocktails, beer, wine, & non-alcoholic drinks. I really liked the appetizers (chicken, rice, and veggies). It was just the right amount of food to go with the Mai Tais that I had!

This is a docked catamaran. Unlike beach catamarans, you will not have to walk knee-deep in the water to board the boat. You'll be perfectly dry as you board the boat on the pier (as seen in the photo). This makes it a great choice for those who want to dress up a bit for the sunset sail, those traveling with little ones, guests with mobility issues, etc.

I loved that this was conveniently located in WAIKIKI! It's right at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (not to be confused with the Hilton Waikiki - which is a different hotel).

Boarding the catamaran
Loved being out on the water!

Don’t waste your time!

Reviewed by: RAP

Overall disappointing. When I think “sunset cruise”, I was thinking something dressier, as were most of the passengers. Instead, we had to run through the surf to get onto the catamaran (no dock), getting wet and dirty in the process. The boat is leaky in the sense the water splashes through holes on the main deck, making you wet even if you’re not sitting on the edge of the boat. The “cocktails” consist of only two options: Mai Tais or beer, that’s it. The crew was pleasant, but over all, it was nothing like I expected.

Trip was great! The crew was very friendly and answered our random questions. I loved getting to sail for the majority of the time that we were on the water, and getting a view of Waikiki & Diamond Head from the water! We had a great view of sunset as well, and planes taking off from HNL. It was BYOB, but they also had drinks for sale on the boat ($5/drink or $20 bottomless). The boat had a decent number of passengers, but I don’t think it was sold out, so it didn’t feel too crowded. The attached photo is of the boat before we boarded and left the marina.

2-Hour Moana Sailing Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Drink Included

Great Crew, Wonderful Views

Reviewed by: Stephanie Moyse

This sunset cruise was nearly perfect! My family and I were able to book our experience in the same week we took the cruise, I felt it was priced quite fairly and the process was very easy. The website's description was very helpful and I appreciated having the option to purchase dinner if I so wanted to. I did not buy the dinner package but the other guests who did seemed quite happy with their meals, though there weren't tables to place your food on. If you do choose to get the dinner, eat it before you get out to the open waters as you and your food can get pretty wet from ocean spray depending on where you sit. If you don't want to get wet there's plenty of seats that stay dry, though the catamaran can fill with many guests so arrive early if you want the best seating options. Overall, my family and I loved our experience, my mother was a bit worried as the crew didn't discuss emergency protocol but I never felt like this was a concern. The 90 minute trip had excellent views, wasn't too rocky, and I liked being able to bring my own drinks or purchasing drinks from the crew. I would highly recommend this activity to couples, families with older children, or friend groups. If I ever return to Oahu I would thoroughly like to do this again!

Some of the great pictures I got while onboard!
The island looked amazing from this distance!

Reviewed by: Nancy

The service provided on the dinner cruise by the servers was excellent. They were friendly and nice, always with a smile! I expected more interaction by the captain. He didn't introduce himself to the people on board or had anything to say to us. This dinner cruise was a disappointment, but we tried to make the best of it. The dinner was good, but two of my family members got sea sick because the waters were choppy and the vessel was rocking back and forth pretty bad. At least a photographer took a nice picture of us that we purchased! Thank God I took motion sickness medication before I boarded the vessel.

I love our family picture!
