Reviewed by: Sinem

We had such a wonderful time on our sunset cruise while in Oahu. Lost track of how many whales we saw while out there. And the staff were so incredibly nice. Special shout out to Vivian who spent some extra time with my son who was feeling very shy. We truly had a lovely night.

Luxury Ko Olina Sunset Cruise with Snorkeling, Dinner Buffet & Premium Cocktails - Ocean Joy Cruises

Had a great time

Reviewed by: Arianna

Even if the weather wasn't really great during our experience, we still had a great time chilling in the boat watching the view, snorkeling and had dinner and drinks. It was a really good value for the price since the dinner and alcoholic beverage were also included. The crew was really great too and we spent time talking to them as well. Captain Don, Trent and Jacob were really fun and helpful throughout the experience. Even if we didn't see the sunset because of the weather, it was still great because we saw a humpback whale swimming next to us.

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

Annual Family Tradition

Reviewed by: Docdavis4L

Captain Nick and crew showed us a great time on our fourth consecutive annual November sunset cruise. Each one is a little different vibe. Sunday appears to be the best day for a more peaceful vibe. Great interaction with Captain and crew. The food is OK (catered boxes) but we started scheduling a post-cruise restaurant dinner last year at nearby Fresco and enjoyed that again this year. We plan to take this cruise every year!

サンセットセーリング スピリット・オブ・アロハ号 軽食&アルコール2杯付き&ソフトドリンク飲み放題<ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発>

It had an adult atmosphere. 大人の雰囲気でした

Reviewed by: ベルベル

I participated with my middle school child, but all the participants were foreigners (I couldn't understand the explanations at all). Although the atmosphere was adult-oriented since alcohol was served, we were able to relax and spend a long time enjoying light snacks, which made for a wonderful memory on our last night. I'm glad I participated.

中学生の子供と参加しましたが、全員外国人の参加でした(解説も全く聞き取れませんでした)。お酒を飲めることから大人の雰囲気ではありましたが、軽食を食べながら長い時間、ゆったりと過ごすことが出来、最後の夜の素敵な思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

Amazing Cruise with Gorgeous Views of Waikiki

Reviewed by: Trisha L

Our dinner cruise was nothing short of exceptional. The vessel was spacious, ensuring a smooth, comfortable ride without any hint of seasickness. Boarding and disembarking were seamless, and despite the ship’s size, the atmosphere felt intimate rather than crowded. The meal was beautifully prepared and flavorful, complemented by lively entertainment. Our server’s vibrant energy and warmth elevated the entire experience. The true magic, however, unfolded on deck—watching Waikiki’s shimmering skyline from the water as fireworks lit up the night sky. An unforgettable evening I would gladly repeat.

The seating is way to close they are cramming as many people as they can on the boat . The food was not good the meat was not appetizing looking or tasting . The view from the top deck is nice but they really really need to work on the food if they are going to charge you so much we had to get food after still because we couldn’t eat the food from the buffet

サンセットシュノーケリング・クルーズ ハワイアンディナー&アルコール4杯付き<ワイキキ地区ホテル送迎あり/英語スタッフ/コオリナ発>

It was amazing! 最高でした!

Reviewed by: Y&Y

First of all, Mason Captain's Japanese is incredibly good! I was surprised at how well he speaks, to the point where I thought he might be better than some Japanese people, as he learned it by ear.

We were the only Japanese people there, but he provided translations for all the announcements without slowing down the tempo, keeping everyone engaged. He is truly amazing.

The clientele was also great; there were elderly gentlemen and ladies who surprised me by snorkeling down to about 5 meters deep. Additionally, they opened the restrooms that were only for park members for us when we urgently needed them, which was very kind of them.

Before COVID, it seems that about 30-40% of the guests were Japanese, but after COVID, it appears that hardly any Japanese people have returned. However, even for those who are not good at English, there is really no trouble at all, and the food was delicious. It was the best activity, so I really hope everyone gets to experience it!

To Mason,
Wishing you and your fiancée happiness!
Thank you!

まず、メイソンキャプテンの日本語がめちゃくちゃ上手い!
耳で覚えたとのことですが、日本人より上手いんじゃないか、ってくらいのレベルでびっくりしちゃいました。

日本人は僕らだけでしたが、全部のアナウンスに和訳も添えてくれて、なのにテンポ落とさずに全員を盛り上げていて、本当にすごい人です。

客層も良く、高齢の殿方とご婦人もいらっしゃいましたが皆さんシュノーケルで5mくらいある底まで潜っていらっしゃったりしてびっくりしました。
あとパークメンバーオンリーのお手洗いを急を要していた我々のために開けてくれたりして、素敵な方々でした。

コロナ前までは3-4割は日本人のお客さんだったそうですが、アフターコロナはほとんど日本人が戻ってきてないそうです。
ただ、英語苦手な方でも本当に全く困らないし、ご飯も美味しくて最高のアクティビティだったので、是非みんな行ってみて欲しいです!

婚約者の方とお幸せに!
ありがとうございました!

Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Schaeffer Family from Eastern Oregon

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.
