I had some waiting time before departure, so I was able to relax and take photos. There was a diverse crowd, including people from Europe and Asia. We were the only Japanese people there. I didn't fully understand the explanations in English, but I managed to grasp the gist of it!
The attire ranged from luxurious outfits to people in shorts and sandals, so there didn't seem to be a dress code. I tend to get seasick, so I didn't eat anything, and it was quite cold at the end of November, but I stayed outside the whole time. When my companion tried to get a refill, the meat was gone, but it seemed there were still plenty of potatoes left. The cookies they distributed were delicious.
The staff were kind, taking photos for us and being very attentive. It was disappointing that we couldn't see the orange sunset >_<. However, I was happy to see a small dolphin! I was quite satisfied with the views of Diamond Head and the hotel nightscape. I recommend this tour for active individuals.
出発まで待ち時間があったので、写真を撮ったりしてゆっくりできました。多国籍な感じでヨーロッパ圏やアジア圏の方もおられました。日本人は私たちだけでした。英語での説明はわからなかったですが、なんとなく理解しました!
服装はラグジュアリーな感じの方から、短パンにサンダルみたいな方もいて、ドレスコードはなさそうでした。
私は船酔いしやすいので食事は取らず、11月末で寒かったですが、ずっと外にいました。連れがお代わりしようとすると肉とかはなくなっていましたが、イモとかはまだ余っていたようです。配ってくれたクッキーは美味しかったです。
スタッフの方は親切で写真を撮ってくれたり、気配りもバッチリでした。オレンジの夕日が見られなかったのが残念でした>_<
小さなイルカが見れたのは嬉しかったです!
ダイヤモンドヘッドとかホテルの夜景を見れて かなり満足です。アクティブな方にオススメのツアーです。

I think everyone feels the same way, but before leaving for Japan, I imagined "blue seas and skies" and planned fun optional tours. However, Hawaii isn't always sunny! Especially for ocean activities, the weather can lead to either amazing memories or disappointing results.
The sunset dinner cruise I booked this time had bad weather, with cloudy skies throughout, so I didn't have high expectations... but the result was very good! The gently rocking boat, combined with the friendliness of the crew, created a very pleasant atmosphere.
Seeing the lights of the hotels in Waikiki from the sea and a pod of dolphins swimming alongside the boat was wonderful. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, but it became a great memory that you can't experience on land. I would love to participate again next time, on a sunny day!
皆さん同じだと思うのですが、日本を発つ前は「青い海と空」を思い描き楽しいオプショナルツア―を組みます。でも、ハワイは晴の日ばかりじゃないんですねぇ!!
特に海系は天候次第で最高の思い出になったり、ガッカリの結果だったり。
今回予約したこのサンセットディナクルーズ、当日は天候も悪く終始曇り空、あまり期待せずに…、、、でも結果はとてもgood!
適度に揺れる船内はクルーの人懐っこさも相まって、とても和やかでした。

We participated as a couple. We arrived 15 minutes late for the pickup. Naturally, there was no sign of embarrassment, and we were taken to the yacht harbor. Well, I suppose we can say this is the pace of a tropical country. However, it can be a bit unsettling if you're unsure whether you're in the right place.
The cruise was on a medium-sized boat. It had a large sail, so I guess it falls into the category of a yacht. When we think of a cruise, we often imagine a luxury liner, but I believe any boat that sails on the sea can be considered a cruise in that sense. I was aware of this from other reviews, so it didn't particularly bother me, and the price was low, so it was to be expected. The wind we felt while cruising and the views we saw were fantastic. I would definitely want to use this service again. The boat had little rocking, and no one was feeling seasick. Also, we were lucky enough to see dolphins. However, it gets cold on the way back. Once the sun sets, it can be quite chilly, so it's necessary to prepare with a hoodie or something similar.
Regarding dinner, you simply take 5 or 6 types of side dishes onto your plate and eat them, so it's like a lunch plate. It's best not to have high expectations. You should come with the mindset of enjoying the cruise itself.
カップルで参加してきました。
迎えには15分遅れで到着。当然のように悪びれるそぶりはなく、ヨットハーバーまでの送迎でした。まぁこの辺は、南国の時間とでも言いましょうか。ただ分かっていればいいのですが、この場所で合ってるのか等不安になります。
クルーズは、中型船でのクルーズでした。大きな帆がありましたので、ヨットの部類に入るんでしょうか。クルーズというと豪華客船のような船をイメージしがちですが、船で海を走ればどんな船でもクルーズという意味でクルーズだと思います。この点は、他の方の口コミで分かっていたので特に気にならなかったですし、値段も安いのでそんなもんです。クルーズしながら浴びる風、見える景色は最高でした。また、利用したいと思えるものでした。船も揺れは少なく、よっている人はいませんでした。また、偶然イルカも見れて良かったです。ただ、帰りは寒いです。日が沈むとかなり寒いので、パーカー等の準備が必要です。
ディナーに関しては、5,6種類のおかず等を自分の皿にとってそれを食べるだけなので、ランチプレートのようなものです。あまり期待をしない方がいいです。あくまでも、クルーズのみを楽しみに来たと割りきるべきです。

When you think of Hawaii, you think of cruising, so I decided to participate. The boat was about the size of a cross between a cruiser and a yacht; however, if you are prone to seasickness, you should take motion sickness medication in advance, as there can be enough rocking to make you feel sick. I had a coupon for one free drink, but when I upgraded to a larger size, I was charged normally. All the staff were locals, so if you don't speak English, it can be difficult to understand these things. The food was light snacks, so that was a bit of a letdown. On the day of the cruise, there was also a rainbow, and the weather was nice, so overall, I was fairly satisfied.
ハワイといえばクルージングと思い、参加しました。
クルーザとヨットの中間くらいの大きさの船でした、ただし船酔いがひどい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んでおかないと、船酔いするくらいの揺れはあります。
ドリンク1杯無料のクーポンを持っていたのにサイズを大きくしたら、普通にお金をとられました。スタッフは全員現地の人なので、英語が話せないとこの辺がよくわからないです。料理は軽食だったのでそこです。当日は虹もでていて、天気も良かったので総合的にはそれなりに満足できました。

I was a bit disappointed. I was excited for my first cruise. The pickup was 20 minutes late, and I became anxious, so I called the Hawaiian company from my Japanese phone. They said they were delayed. The microbus arrived over 30 minutes late. I had to sit in a jump seat on a full bus, and the driver confirmed names without apologizing for the delay before we departed. The ship was also full, and it started to rain heavily with high waves, so everyone went inside. This time, there were not enough meals for the number of people, and they sold out quickly, which was funny.
The rain intensified, and many people started to feel seasick. We were given buckets and water. By the time we were returning, the rain had stopped, and we could see the night view of Waikiki. On the way back, we had to wait again, and since it had rained, there were no seats available. My mother, who is over 80, ended up feeling unwell the next day. If the driver and the weather had been better, it might have turned into a good memory.

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service you expected.
I have confirmed the situation with the operating company on the day of the tour. As I reported in a separate email, there was heavy traffic due to bad weather, which caused delays in the pickup time. I apologize for making you wait for a long time at your travel destination, which must have caused you anxiety. I have requested that the company contact customers in advance if they are unable to arrive at the promised time. Additionally, I have strictly warned the operating company to provide a proper explanation and apology in cases where delays are unavoidable.
Regarding the meals, I have received a report from the operating company that they provided food according to the number of people, but I am very sorry to hear that you were not satisfied. I have conveyed your feedback directly to the operating company.
Lastly, due to the bad weather on the day, I understand that you could not enjoy the sunset cruise, and your mother had to stay outside for a long time in the bad weather, which must have been a difficult experience during your trip to Hawaii. The operating company reported that the captain and staff did their best to ensure that customers could enjoy themselves, but I deeply apologize for not being able to provide the expected level of service.
We take your words seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to see the sunset from the ocean, so I booked this tour. It's a yacht rather than a large boat, so it sways more than I expected! I think it's better to be out on the deck and feel the wind rather than stay inside.
As soon as we set sail, drinks were served, and after a while, there was a buffet-style dinner. Although no one spoke Japanese, the staff was very friendly, so I didn't have any issues. We set sail at 5 PM, and by before 6 PM, the drinks and dinner were finished. I thought to myself, "Do I really have to stay in this sway for over an hour?" but on the way back, the swaying stopped due to the direction of the waves, and I was able to enjoy the much-anticipated sunset and relax.
It may depend on the day, but I think those who are not prone to seasickness will enjoy it even if it sways.
せっかくハワイに来たので海からのサンセットが見たくこちらのツアーを予約。
大型船ではなくヨットなので思っていた以上に揺れる!
室内にいるよりデッキに出て風に当たる方がいいと思います。
出航してすぐドリンクが提供され、しばらくしてバイキング形式のディナー。日本語は全く通じませんがスタッフはとてもフレンドリーで困ることはありませんでした。
17時に出航して18時前にはドリンクとディナーが終了、まだ1時間以上もこの揺れの中いるのかぁ、、と一瞬挫けそうになりましたが戻りは波の向き的に揺れがなくなり期待のサンセットを見たりのんびり過ごせました。
日にもよると思いますが揺れても大丈夫な船酔いに強い方は楽しめると思います。

We scheduled our evening on the Prince Kuhio Sunset Cruise for our 26th Wedding Anniversary. It wasn't a large boat but I will tell you the Captain and the crew had big hearts and were full of BIG surprises.
We had a sumptuous dinner that was better than any meal I had had on the island. The chef should be commended. The food was served quickly and it was hot when you got it. The crew swiftly took your beverage orders and made sure you were happy. Their customer service was exemplary!
Then we were entertained to a hula show and a fire dance. The evening was capped off by a spectacular fireworks display from the shore.
This crew worked their tails off: they drove the shuttle buses, they served food and beverages, and they put on a show.
It was a magical night that I will never forget as long as I live! Thank you Prince Kuhio!
WOW!!! Glad we could help with your special day and you had so much fun

During my 7-day stay in Hawaii, I arranged various optional tours, but the sunset dinner cruise was the most memorable. The boat is a slightly larger catamaran yacht, so there was hardly any rocking, allowing us to enjoy the sunset in a calm atmosphere. In Hawaii, there are many Japanese tourists everywhere, and while there are tours with a 100% participation rate of Japanese people, this tour had a lower percentage of Japanese guests, which made it enjoyable to converse with multilingual tourists in English.
However, there are a couple of downsides:
1. Although it's called a buffet, it's not an all-you-can-eat experience. For example, there are restrictions like "two pieces per person." It means you can eat what you like, but only in specified quantities. Japanese people might associate buffet with all-you-can-eat, so this is something to be aware of.
2. At the check-in counter, Westerners were allowed to check in before the designated time, while Japanese guests were told to "wait until the time," which felt discriminatory. After persistent negotiation, I was finally allowed to check in, but for Japanese guests with limited English skills, they might end up feeling helpless. Since boarding is done in the order of check-in, securing your spot is very important.
7日間のハワイ滞在で、いろいろなオプショナルターを組みましたが、その中でもこのサンセット・ディナークルーズが一番の記念になりました。船はすこし大きめのカタマランヨットですので、ほとんど揺れがなく落ち着いてサンセットが楽しめました。ハワイはどこに行っても日本人が多く、参加率100%日本人のツアーもある中、このツアーは日本人率が低く、多言語の観光客と(英語で)お話をすることもできて楽しめます。
難点は、
①ビュフェとありますが、いわゆる食べ放題ではありません。たとえば「これは一人二個まで」などの制限があります。「好きなものを決まった分量まで食べてよいですよ」という意味です。日本人はビュフェ=食べ放題というイメージでしょうから注意が必要です。
②チェックインカウンターでは、西洋人はチェックイン開始時間前に受付していながら、日本人は「時間までまて」と差別を受けました。しつこく交渉してやっと受付てもらえましたが、英語力のない日本人だと泣き寝入りでしょう。受付順に乗船して席を確保しますので、受付順は非常に重要です。

Food was pretty good as well as the drinks!!! We stuffed our selves! One of the crew even fished as we sailed along, unfortunately nothing was caught this time out. The views of waikiki and diamond head were amazing! It was great to get to see the skyline from the ocean. The sunset was beautiful and was timed great on our way back!

The dinner cruise we participated in was completely different from any other dinner cruise we've been on. First, we were picked up at 4 PM, which felt early for a dinner cruise.
The boat was small with an open bottom, making it feel like it was on skis. On the day we went, we were the only Japanese guests, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, everything was in English, but that was fine.
As soon as we set sail, a buffet-style meal began. However, the selection was limited, and it wasn't really what you would call a dinner buffet. There were too few tables for everyone to eat at the same time. Up to that point, I thought this cruise was a bit disappointing, but I was surprised when we went out onto the deck. The waves were high that day, and the boat was moving at an incredible speed, riding over the waves like surfing, which was really thrilling. It felt like the boat itself was an attraction, and while I was scared it might capsize, I had a lot of fun. The other guests were also very excited.
There was a deck at the front of the boat where you could stand and get splashed with water. The front area had a net-like seating arrangement, allowing us to see the ocean below through the mesh. It was quite impressive. Instead of enjoying a meal on the dinner cruise, we found a different kind of enjoyment and were very satisfied. I recommend wearing casual clothes that you don't mind getting wet.
After the thrilling experience, we slowly moved towards Diamond Head, where we enjoyed a peaceful moment that was quite different from earlier. During sunset, we had a relaxing time and took many photos. The tour ended when the sun went down, so we returned earlier than on a typical dinner cruise. By the time we left, even though we couldn't communicate well, the Americans who were also on the cruise made an effort to communicate with us, which was enjoyable.
I wouldn't recommend this for those who want to enjoy a dinner, but for those who want to experience the thrill of the boat, it was an excellent cruise.
参加したディナークルーズは今まで参加したディナークルーズとは全く違いました。まず迎えに来てもらうのが16時。ディナークルーズにしては早いなって思いながらの参加でした。
船は小さく船底が開いている…船がスキー板をはいている感じです。参加した日は日本人は私たち夫婦だけでした。スタッフも日本語が話せないので全て英語でしたが大丈夫でした。
出航するとすぐにバイキング形式の食事が始まりました。食事と言っても品数は少なくてとてもディナーバイキングと呼べる料理ではありませんでした。テーブルも少なくて全員が一斉には食事出来ない席数です。ここまではこのクルージングはいまいちかと思っていましたがデッキへ出てびっくりしました。私が参加した日は波が高くて沖にすごいスピードで船が進んで行くので波乗りのように波を渡っていきそれはそれはすごい迫力でした。船そのものがアトラクションのようで転覆しないかとすごく怖かったけどすごく楽しかったです。外人さん達も大盛り上がりでした。船の先端にデッキがありそこに立つと水しぶきですごく濡れます。前方は網で編んだような座れるところになっていて下は海が網の目から見れます。すごい迫力です。ディナークルーズで食事を楽しむよりは違った楽しみ方で大満足でした。服は濡れてもいいようにカジュアルが良いと思います。アトラクションのようなスリルの後はゆっくり進んでダイヤモンドヘッドが見れて先ほどとは違った静かな時間が流れました。サンセットの時もゆったりした時間で写真もたくさん撮れました。日が沈むと終了のツアーなので通常のディナークルーズより帰りは早いです。帰る頃には言葉は通じないけど参加していたアメリカの人達が一生懸命コミュニケーションをとってくれて楽しかったです。ディナーを楽しみたい人にはあまりおすすめしませんが船の迫力を楽しみたい人には最高のクルージングでした。

Since I have a 6-month-old and a nearly 3-year-old, I thought a formal cruise might be too much, so I chose this option. However, both my mother in her 70s and I are prone to seasickness, so we took motion sickness medication. The boat rocked quite a bit, and while I took the full recommended dose and was on the verge of seasickness, my mother, who took half, ended up completely seasick. My husband and the kids, who usually don’t get seasick, were fine. After a while out at sea, the seasickness settled down, but those prone to it should be cautious.
The boat is small, and everyone was dressed casually, making for a relaxed cruising experience. There are no assigned seats, so you can sit wherever you like on a first-come, first-served basis. Hawaiian music played before departure, which really set the mood. After we set sail, ballads from artists like The Beatles filled the air, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I was mesmerized by the pink-tinted sea. And then there was the green flash! I’m not entirely sure since it wasn’t a bright green, but the crew member shouted "green flash!" so I believe that’s what it was. The sunset, which shone brightly before fading away, left a strong impression.
The food was light snacks, but it was delicious. Even my 3-year-old ate well. Our family was the only one with kids; most of the participants were white. Since the kids behaved quietly, I don’t think we were looked at disapprovingly. A friendly woman in her 60s approached me while I was holding the baby, which made me happy.
As a side note, a fishing rod set up at the back of the boat got a hit, and we caught a fish about 60 cm long. It seemed to be very exciting for the 3-year-old boy.
6か月とそろそろ3歳の子連れなので、格式高いクルージングは無理かな…と思い、こちらを選択しました。ただ、私も70台の母も船酔い体質なため、酔い止めを飲みました。が、かなり船は揺れたため、規定量の全量飲んだ私は船酔い一歩手前、半量飲んだ母は完全な船酔いに…。あまり酔わない夫と子供たちは大丈夫でした。沖に出てしばらくすると船酔いも落ち着きましたが、船酔いする人は要注意です。
船は小さく、参加者も皆ラフな服装なので、カジュアルに楽しめるクルージングです。席は決まっていないので、先着順に好きな席に座れます。出航前から、ハワイアンミュージックが流れており、ムードが高まりました。出航後はビートルズなどのバラード系の洋楽が流れ、雰囲気満点でした。
夕陽はとても美しく、ピンクに染まる海にうっとりでした。そしてグリーンフラッシュ!はっきりとした緑色ではなかったので自信はないですが、船員さんが「green flash!」と叫んだので,
きっとそうなのだと思っています。最後にピカッと光ったあとにスッと消えた夕陽はとても印象的でした。
ご飯は軽食ですが、美味しかったです。3歳の子も良く食べていました。
子連れは私たち家族だけで、ほとんどは白人でした。子供たちが大人しくしてくれていたので、白い目で見られることはなかったと思います。赤ちゃんを抱っこしていたら白人の60台くらいの女性からフレンドリーに話しかけられて嬉しかったです。
余談ですが、船尾にしかけた釣り竿がヒットし、60㎝くらいの魚を釣り上げていました。3歳の男の子にはとっても面白かったようでした。

The pickup was a bit confusing since other tours gathered at the same location, but I was relieved that we were picked up safely. After arriving, we waited a little before boarding. The boat was smaller than I expected. Right after boarding, there was an announcement about safety instructions in the dining area, but it was all in English. There were no other Japanese people besides us, which made me a bit worried, but I managed to understand most of it with some listening skills. They explained the locations of the life jackets and the restrooms. The meal was served buffet-style, with white rice, taro, spring rolls, beef and vegetable stir-fry, BBQ chicken, and boiled vegetables. There weren't many options, but since I was worried about seasickness, it was enough for me. We had a small child with us, but they didn't mind at all, and we were able to relax. The area with a net stretched over the water below was a lovely spot. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the dazzling sea before sunset, and we were very satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. The child seemed impressed and kept saying, "The sky is red!" Even the family members who were seasick felt better after watching the beautiful sunset! I’m really glad we participated. I highly recommend this tour!
ピックアップは、他のツアーも同じ場所で集合があり、少し分かりづらかったものの、無事ピックアップしていただけて安心しました。
到着後、少し待ってから乗船しました。
思っていたより小さな船でした。
乗り込んですぐに、船内の食事スペースで乗船の注意事項の案内がありましたが、全て英語です。
日本人は私達意外おらず、少し心配でしたが、多少のヒアリング力で大体分かりました。
ライフカードの場所、トイレの場所等の説明でした。
食事はビュッフェ形式です。
白米、タロ芋、春巻、ビーフと野菜炒め、BBQチキン、茹で野菜等がありました。
品数は多くはなかったですが、船酔いが心配であまり食べられなかったので十分でした。
小さい子連れでしたが、嫌がられる事もなく、安心して過ごせました。
水上を真下にネットが張ってあるスペースは素敵な場所でした。
天候にも恵まれ、サンセット前の眩しい海を堪能してから、キレイなサンセットをしっかり見られ大満足でした。
子どもも印象的だったようで、お空が赤!とずっと言っていました。
船酔いしていた家族も美しいサンセットを見ていたら船酔いも解消された!と大満足でした。
参加してとても良かったです。
オススメのツアーです!

We attended the dinner sunset cruise on Sunday September 10, 2017. Transportation is included at no additional cost. Our assigned time to ba at the pick up location was 3:40 for a 3:50 pick up. We were told to look for a black or silver Mercedes Sprinter Van. Many passed by with out stopping. As the time got later every van that flew past us just made us that more concerned that we may not get picked up. We were unstructured to call the Makani if there was any delay in transportation. When I called the recording said I was the third caller. When it finally said I was next and someone would be with me shortly, five minutes later it said they were experiencing high call volume and leave a message. I tried this a couple of times with no luck. Found out after the fact that they don't answer calls after hours so it does no good giving a number to customers. Around 4:10 a van came by. They had a small sign in the front window for Makani. The driver said he was just from a transportation company who gets called sometimes to pick up Makani guests. He received the call late which meant all the remaining guests would be that much later. We mad four stops on the way to the boat to pick up additional passengers and each was more upset than the previous. Makani should contact passenger and let them know that the transportation is running late or have someone answering the phone.
The weather was a little rainy but it was still. Ice to get out on the water. We still had a nice time and the sunset pics were okay. You can't control the weather. The food served was actually really good. Teriyaki chicken, rice, egg rolls, veggies, etc. cookies for dessert. Beers were $6. Other boats included alcohol for around the same price fare but didn't have availability last minute. When we saw the boats that we called which didn't have availability they looked over full. All in all it was a good experience.

This cruise was incredible! My wife and I only had a few days in Waikiki and chose carefully how we wanted to spend our time. The cruise was definitely the highlight of our trip. The views were incredible, the staff was friendly, and the food was really good! If you're looking for a great photo op this is the place. It can be romantic, but also something fun to do with family or friends. The next time we are in Waikiki we will definitely take this sunset cruise.

We participated in the sunset dinner cruise as a couple this time. The views during the cruise were absolutely stunning, and as we departed, the sunlight and the approach to Diamond Head were exceptional! Once the sun began to set, it was truly a beautiful sunset.
I had imagined a certain size of boat based on the tour description, but it was surprisingly small. Perhaps because of that, we felt quite a bit of rocking at first. The meal, too, was not as grand as one might expect from a dinner cruise, but it suited the size of the boat, resembling more of a buffet-style dining experience.
今回のサンセットディナークルーズに夫婦で参加させていただきました。
クルージングの景色は申し分ない程の絶景で、出向後の太陽の日差しとダイヤモンドヘッドに近づくにつれ格別で!
また日が暮れ始めてからは正にサンセットと、とても綺麗そのものでした。
ツアーの内容的にもそれなりの船を想像していたのですが意外と小さく、そのためか当初かなり揺れを感じることになっていました。
もっとも食事もディナークルーズの名に想像する規模ではなく、船体のサイズに合う感じではありましたが地上でいう立食にも。

My husband and I had an amazing time on the Makani sunset dinner cruise while on our honeymoon in Hawaii! The only downfall, as others have mentioned, is having to wait to get checked in. With the arranged transportation, we arrived an hour before the boat set sail and could not check in until 30 prior to the departure time. The staff took excellent care of everyone throughout the night to make sure we all had a good experience. The food was casual but very good- especially the spring rolls! Drinks are reasonably priced with a variety of options. We especially enjoyed that the cruise was on a catamaran for a more intimate feel compared to a larger cruise ship. We would definitely recommend this sunset dinner cruise to anyone in O'ahu for vacation!
Thank you so much for your honest review. We have begun to implement earlier check-ins based upon past guests experiences. We look forward to having you aboard again soon! Aloha MakaniCat

We had a wonderful evening on Makani. After reviewing several dinner cruise options, we selected Makani due to the great reviews and good price. It was one of our favorite excursions on our vacation!
The pros: The staff was great - funny and personable. The food was good and there was a large drink selection, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It was a very relaxing cruise with a beautiful view; it lasted approximately two hours, so you get to enjoy the sunset, as well.
The cons: There is only one, which is that they provide transportation, but not from our hotel. Though they didn't require us to go very far, it was a bit confusing trying to find our pick up point as that particular hotel has several locations. Also a slight put off considering we passed our hotel going to the marina. All was fine in the end though, as it was nice that transportation was provided at no additional cost.
Overall, I would highly recommend this excursion. We really enjoyed the relaxing, beautiful evening aboard the Makani Dinner Cruise.
Thank yo so much for your review! We continue to strive to build a better experience for everyone. We look forward to having you aboard again soon! Aloha MakaniCat

This cruise is very relaxing and gives you the opportunity to calm down and enjoy the evening in a friendly and family oriented environment, specially if you have already done lots of adventurous activities elsewhere. I definitely recommend to go on this cruise as part of your Oahu trip. We saw lots of couples and families and they all seemed to be enjoying the cruise, specially during the sunset. In addition, the food was pretty good too. It included several options and there was plenty so I think you won't leave the boat hungry. If I go back to Oahu, I will go back on this cruise again specially towards the end of my trip to chill, relax, and take good sunset pictures.
Thank you so much for choosing Makani Catamaran! We aim to please! Look forward to having you aboard again soon. Aloha MakaniCar

I participated in a Makani Dinner Cruise. Unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day of the cruise, but I was impressed by the atmosphere and the view. The dinner featured a plate of Hawaiian local cuisine with chicken, beef, potatoes, spring rolls, and rice, and it was very delicious. The only downside was the one-drink policy. If the lighting had been better, I think it would have been the perfect dinner cruise. This time, I joined with my beloved boyfriend, and it became a memorable day for both of us. The cruise was amazing, and I love my boyfriend!!

Since the participants are dressed quite casually, I recommend wearing pants. After arriving at the bay, you will exchange your boarding pass and drink voucher, and board the catamaran! There is no Japanese support, and all explanations are in English, but I was able to find out the location of the life jackets and the restroom on the boat. Drinks start as soon as we set sail! There are two sizes available, but the smaller one is sufficient.
After departure, it was quite rocky until we got out to sea, but that’s part of the experience! The catamaran has nets over the bow where you can sit, but we were too scared to try it. The dinner was more on the Asian side and tasted great. I was pleasantly surprised by the large cookie they handed out later.
However, there wasn't anyone on the crew who spoke Japanese, so I wished there had been at least one. But you can definitely enjoy the scenery!
参加者の皆さんはかなりラフな服装ですので、パンツスタイルがお勧めです。湾に到着後、乗船券とドリンク券を引き替え、カタラマンに乗船!日本語の対応はなく全て英語の説明ですが、船にある救命胴衣の位置やトイレの場所はわかりました。ドリンクは出港するとすぐに開始!サイズは2種類ありますが、小さい方で充分。
出港後、沖に出るまではかなり揺れましたが、それも醍醐味!カタラマンの双頭にはネットがかけてあり、そこに座ることができますが、私たちは怖くていけませんでした。ディナーは、どちらかというとアジアン寄りで味はおいしかったです。後で配ってくれた大きなクッキーは予想してなかったので、うれしかったです。
ただ、クルーに日本語をはなせる方がいかなったので、ひとりは欲しかったな~
でも、景色は堪能できます!

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice sunset dinner cruise the other night in the Makani catamaran. The night started off with a friendly driver picking us up at our hotel and bringing us to the boat. The only criticism of the whole night (very minor) is that we arrived at the boat around 4:40 but we're not able to "Check in" until 5 even though the girl was sitting in the booth waiting until 5. So rather than checking in as people arrived we now had an awkward line waiting to check in. Then we waited another 15-20 minutes to board the boat. Like I said, minor but the timing could have been better. Once aboard, the crew was great and got us quickly out of the harbor to enjoy the amazing views of the city and mountains. The food was as expected, a decent buffet. The drinks were good and reasonably priced.
What you are paying for is the views and that sunset! That was worth every penny on our trip. The catamaran boat let you enjoy the experience a lot more as you are free to move around and sit on the front netting.

Every time I come to Waikiki, I've thought about going on a sunset cruise on a yacht, but since my wife gets seasick, we only had the option of larger cruise ships that don't sway much. However, this time I decided to go for it and made a reservation.
The yacht was larger than those docked in Waikiki and hardly swayed at all. However, because of the sea breeze, a hat might feel tight. Being close to the water allows you to truly experience the beauty of Waikiki's sea. The bow of the yacht has a net, making it even closer to the water and more enjoyable. There are also light snacks available in a buffet style, and they suited the Japanese palate well.
I noticed that most of the guests were American, with only a few Japanese, along with some Korean couples and Chinese families. The four staff members were also American, and since all the explanations were in English, there were some things we didn't understand due to our limited English skills, but it wasn't a major issue. If we could speak English, we could have chatted more friendly with various people.
Unlike large cruise ships, I especially recommend this for couples who want a quiet and romantic atmosphere. Of course, there are clean restrooms available, which is reassuring.
ワイキキに来る度に、ヨットでのサンセットクルーズしたいなと何度か思いつつ、妻が船酔いするため?、揺れの無い大きいクルーズ船しかありませんでしたが、今回思い切って予約。
ワイキキに停泊してるヨットよりも大きく、ほとんど大きくゆれませんでした。但し海風を受けるため、帽子はきついかも。海面に近い為、ワイキキの海を身近に感じヨットの良さが体験出来ます。特に船首はネットになっており更に海面がより近く楽しいです。軽食もバイキングで好きなだけ何度も食べれます。日本人の味にあってました。
気になったのは、ほとんどがアメリカ人で、日本人は数名、あとは韓国人カップルと中国人親子でした。
スタッフ4名もアメリカ人で説明は全て英語な為、英語が不得意な私達は分からない事がありましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。英語が話せれば色々な人達とフレンドリーに話せるのになぁ。
大きい客船とは違い、静かにムードにしたりたいカップルには特にお薦めです。勿論水洗トイレも完備で安心ですよ。

Compared to cruises in Japan, the prices are a bit higher, but the crew members were very friendly, and we had a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the coastline from the ship. The boat wasn't full, so we could relax comfortably. The buffet was delicious, and the sunset viewed from the ship was absolutely lovely, making for great memories of the trip.
On the day of the cruise, it was quite windy, and the boat was rocking a lot, but while watching the sunset, the boat slowed down a bit, so the swaying wasn't too bad. Some people were sitting in chairs at the front of the ship or on a net-like area to enjoy the view. There were no other Japanese passengers on board, and there were no Japanese announcements, but I think it would still be enjoyable for everyone.
日本のクルーズと比べたら少し料金はお高めですが、船員の方たちはとてもフレンドリーで、船からダイアモンドヘッドや海辺が綺麗に見えました。
船も満員ではなかったのでゆったりと乗ることができました。ブュッフェも美味しく、船から見るサンセットはすごく素敵で、旅行の思い出にはとても良かったです。
クルーズに乗った日は風が強く、船がすごく揺れてましたが、サンセットを見る間は船は少し動きが遅くなるので、揺れもそんなになく見ることができました。
船の前の方ではいすに座ったり、網のようなところで座って見てる人もいました。日本人は他に乗ってなく、日本語の案内などはないですが、十分に楽しめるかと思います。

I wanted to experience a slightly luxurious dinner cruise for our honeymoon, so I participated. I was really looking forward to it, but it was disappointing.
First of all, the boat was really small. There were about 30 passengers, including us, and once we sat down, it was quite cramped. The dinner was a buffet style. The taste was okay, but it was just simple light snacks. It wasn't what you would call a dinner cruise; it felt more like a light snack cruise. The variety of drinks was good, and there were plenty of alcoholic options.
The boat swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.
As for the cruise itself, the sunset was beautiful, and it was nice to take photos with Diamond Head in the background. The staff offered to take our pictures, which was a nice touch. However, because my expectations were high, it wasn't as romantic as I had hoped; it felt more like a casual cruise. We dressed up, but everyone around us was foreign and dressed casually in beach sandals, so we felt out of place.
I think this tour is suitable for those who want to enjoy a relaxed cruise. If you're looking for a romantic atmosphere or expecting a classic dinner cruise, it would be better to go with something more famous like the Star of Honolulu.
ハネムーンのためちょっと豪華なディナークルーズを体験したいなと思い参加しました。
とても楽しみにしていた分、期待はずれでした。
まず、船が本当に小さい。私たちも含め乗客は30人くらいでしたが、椅子に座ったらキツキツでした。
ディナーはバイキング形式。味はまぁまぁ美味しかったですが、簡単な軽食です。ディナークルーズと呼べるものではありません。軽食付きクルーズです。ドリンクの種類は豊富でよかったです。お酒もたくさんありました。
かなり揺れるので船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
クルーズの内容としては、サンセットが綺麗で素敵でした。ダイアモンドヘッドを背景に写真が撮れたのはよかったです。係員の方が写真を撮りましょうかと声を掛けて下さりました。ただ、期待が大きかった分、思ったよりロマンチックな感じではなく、カジュアルなクルーズでした。
私たちは正装で行きましたが、周りは外国人ばかりでみんなビーチサンダルとかラフな感じだったので、浮いてしまいました。
気楽にクルーズを楽しみたい方には向いているツアーだと思います。
ロマンチックな雰囲気を求める方や、王道のディナークルーズを期待する方は、有名なスターオブホノルルとかにした方がいいです。
