Wonderful Night in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Ricky

I took my friend on this dinner cruise for her birthday gift and it was very enjoyable. Every time I'm on the Makani Sunset Dinner Sailing Cruise alway over the top amazing, the atmosphere aboard was terrific with great music and great crew. The crew was fabulous! The night views from cruise were tremendous and the food was very well done too. If you want something special while in Hawaii, you should go. You can also enjoy the beautiful sunset from offshore. Only advice I would give is they start serving food almost as soon as ship pulls out of port, it is almost dark. Interrupt your dinner to go out on deck to take pictures. I feel like I did not get enough pictures of sunset because it seemed to get dark very fast.

Great Sunset Dinner Experience!

Reviewed by: Shannen15

I have always wanted to take a cruise in Hawaii and came across the Makani Sunset Dinner cruise and it seem like a great deal so I instanty booked it. They also offer shuttle service from Wakkiki which I took advantage of. I received a detail confirmation on the cruise, as well as a phone call confirmation. This felt very professional of the company. The cruise ship captain and crew was also very friendly, professional and made sure we were all having a great time! The weather was great and overall great experience. The food was buffet style, the offering was simple but the food was good. You get 2 drink tickets and it's good for any drinks. You can purchase additional drinks afterwards but the cost is very reasonable. I had fun and would recommend for anyone that wants a short cruise to see the island from the ocean. Thank you for great experience!

Must do for travelers to Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Happy Honeymooner

Our friends who had previously been to Hawaii, said that we MUST do one of these sailing cruises on a Friday night. They weren't wrong! This is a MUST do!

This sunset dinner sailing cruise was awesome! 9/10 I'll break it down.

The crew had charisma, they had explained everything in detail and they were extremely approachable for any questions. Excellent service! 5/5

The food was great! Island style means buffet style - my wife and I definitely weren't hungry at the end of the night! They even had cookies out for dessert! 5/5 on my books for food!

They didn't have a blender, but that didn't stop the bartender from making a mean Mai Tai! They had a wide selection of beer, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks. I tried a High Tide as suggested by the bartender, amazing! Personally I like my crushed ice. Still good though, for Drinks I gave a 4/5.

And most importantly the view of the fireworks was spectacular! Perfect view, the catamaran was right in front of the fireworks - everyone on the vessel could see the fireworks, there was no crowding. 5/5

A Fun, also on rainy days!

We booked the firework dinner cruise a few weeks before we started our trip to Hawaii.

The transportation from the hotel to the marina (small extra fee) was on time and near our Hotel.

The catamaran was nice und clean. After entering the boat the crew briefed us about the security on board.

Due to the calm, we couldn`t sail but the engine was powerful enough to have fun.

The dinner started shortly after leaving the marina.
We had springrolls,chicken, rice and vegetables. Everything was tasty and well cooked.
We specially like the miniwraps.

After Sunset we had a nice view to Waikiki-beach.
The firework started ontime and we had a place in the first row, very close to it.

On the way back to the marina we had some cookies and drinks.

We had a fun evening and enjoy our stay an board. Next time we wanna do it again.

An absolutely wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Alison B

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

We were greeted at our hotel by a Cruise rep and his trainee who had a wonderful smile. We were taken to our boat and directed to our seats by a wonderful staff who all greeted us with the traditional "Aloha". The Cruise rep and his trainee (Smiley) cited on our table with tremendous professionalism and friendliness making our cruise very pleasant. The food was perfect for this cruise and everything was brought to our table in perfect order. The floor show was spectacular and it was fun seeing the traditions of dance and music. We started off during daylight and cruised the beautiful skyline of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu in the dark. Everyone had a chance to spend time outside on several different viewing areas. This was a great dinner cruise and we highly recommend it to people of all ages.

Reviewed by: Judy from Brisbane

My friend and I booked onlne before we left Australa and couldn't wait! We weren't disapppointed at all. Once we left Honolulu Harbour the sail went up. Sitting there and just chilling out was awesome. Dinner was served and was really nice with more than enough food for everyone. The crew were really friendly as well. We got two free drinks and believe me, their signature Hai Tais are a must have!! Seeing dolphins slice through the water beside us was just magical. Thanks to the mate for pointing them out to us! Everyone onboard had a really great time and I would thoroughly recommend this as an absolute must in Honolulu. I could have stayed on board all night but all good things must come to an end. I would definitely go again!

Ah Man! What an amazing trip. I was a bit weary on the afternoon of since the weather report was not promising any sun. But the sunset was probably the most beautiful I have ever seen. The colors that crusted the clouds were just tear jerking. The crew was so friendly and laid back, food was healthy and tasty, beer was cold, the coastline was misty, water dark blue ... it felt so good to be there at that moment. Cheers to Ocean Joy and VELTRA for making this short trip back to the islands so much fun.

The best sunset on Oahu!

Reviewed by: Lahn Bahn

This sail packs in so much in the perfect amount of time. Not only do you get to sail along the west coast of Oahu, but you get to visit a great snorkel spot, eat your fill of delicious food and guzzle down lots of drinks!

I have done a lot of regular dinner cruises in Hawaii and in other states, but this one is definitely the most unique and you totally get a great bang for your buck. Since you are on the west side, you are literally right there as the sun dips below the horizon, and with a steady stream of drinks and as much food as you can eat, there isn't anything better!!!

The drive is like 40 minutes from Waikiki, but the transportation was comfortable and on-time. Great option if you don't want to drive and definitely a "must do" if everyone in your party is planning on knocking back a few.

Be sure to bring some cash to buy the photos that they take of you. The photographer is fantastic and takes TONS of pictures throughout the cruise, both in and out of the water. They put it on a USB drive for you and that way you don't have to worry about snapping shots and can just focus on having fun ^_^

Best. Dinner. Snorkel. Sunset. Cruise. EVAR!

We decided to do this on our honeymoon and we were really glad we did !! They picked us up at our hotel and then dropped us off when it was over. Make sure you add this option as you will enjoy a few drinks and don't want to be driving back and it's far better than a cab!

The cruise itself was fantastic. Calm waters and a leisurely pace out and back all the way past diamond head watching the sun set over the city and Waikiki it was amazingly beautiful. The dinner was very good and the bartender and crew were all friendly fun and professional. I would do this every time I visit Waikiki without question!!

Most Beautiful Sunset in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Sam Falandes

It was a great experience, from our pick up at Waikiki to the Pier.
Everything was better than I expected, the bus had plenty of space, and the ride was smooth.
When we got to the pier we only waited for 10 minutes in order to be inside the boat.
My wife and I wanted to have a good time, since we are newlyweds and we were spending our honeymoon in Hawaii.
The food was delicious and the bartender was one of the best in Hawaii, will never forget the High Tide, it really made my night better.
It was a romantic night and the crew made the best they could in order to make us feel comfortable.
I wish to go back again in my next trip to Hawaii.
Aloha!

We spent an evening aboard the Makani during our honeymoon... What a great decision it was!!! The staff was very friendly, you truly can tell that they enjoy their jobs and want to have their guests to have the best time possible. Our cruise may have had 20 other guess on board. They could have easily fit 2x that many so it was not crowded. The Bartender named Stretch mixes some delicious drinks, and they are STRONG :) Food was much better then expected. We enjoyed a beef stir fry, sushi wraps, egg rolls, teriyaki chicken, salad, white rice, cookies and more. The scenery was extremely romantic and a perfect evening during our honeymoon!! Special note: Bring camera and selfie stick. Alot of people aboard our boat didn't have one and said that is one thing theyd bring next time

Good trip.

Reviewed by: Lisa

My husband and I were on our first trip to Hawaii and decided to book the Makani Dinner Cruise for our first night in Oahu. The weather was beautiful and the boat was very comfortable. The crew was very fun, polite, and helpful. It was a little confusing though about the drink coupons, or maybe it was just me, but I thought that you got two alcoholic drinks with the coupons and then the nonalcoholic drinks were free, that wasn't the case tho, anything after the two were at a cost. I will say that the drinks were pretty strong. We didn't see any dolphins and I was disappointed about that, but I can't blame them for that. All in all we enjoyed ourselves very much and the sites were great. I would have given five stars if just water would have been included after the two drinks.

Lovely Cruise that i ever had! Beautiful Sunset !

Reviewed by: Andy

This sunset cruise is very amazing, we book this trip as part of our honeymoon special memory. We got picked up from my hotel(Marriott) @3:30pm with nice Benz shuttle bus, got port @4:45 and start trip @5pm on board the lovely Makani ship.
The dinner start after 30 mins leave port, and really delicious(especially the chicken, my wife look a lot).
During the trip, we saw the nice Waikiki beach view and diamond head mountain, the sea is so deep blue and so pure. it feel different from what you see at the beach!
The exciting moment for this cruise must be at the sunset moment! and we are able to see it!(we stay there several days, but most sunset blocked by cloud, and we are so lucky that able to see the sunset!), in the attachment i attach few pics that i took at the sunset moment! Then we head back, we got back to port @7pm and ride shuttle bus back to hotel @ 8pm with nice memory.
At last, the Captain looks very nice and professional and thank you give us a nice sunset cruise!

My husband and I love the sailing cruise!! The rain was pouring down the day before and we were worried about our cruise, and it turned out the weather was just perfect on our cruise day. The staff are very friendly and make everybody comfortable. Dinner and two drinks are also delicious. We saw a very beautiful and amazing sunset in our life. The sailor girl is pretty cool when she pulls the two sails in wind. She also caught a large tree(not a big fish!) on our way back, which added to our trip another deep and funny impression. All in all, everything is great and we will definitely recommend this trip to our friends and probably try a second time!!!

A great experience!

Reviewed by: Geets83

My husband and I booked this cruise for my birthday and were pleasantly surprised. I was a little apprehensive as the yacht looked quite small compared to the number of people waiting to board. But once we were on board, there was plenty of room for everyone. There was a bar on board with a wide range of drinks to choose from (both alcoholic and non alcoholic). I wasn't too crazy about the food; it was too bland for my taste and because I do not like BBQ chicken. Some normal American food (bread, grilled chicken, mashed potatoes) would have made me a super happy camper. The ride was smooth for the most part and I loved the fact that the captain turned the yacht around when we spotted Dolphins and we were able to get a up close and personal look. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a good time on the water and a beautiful sunset.

As my review title highlights, it is pretty much self-explanatory what I'm going to describe about this event that took place on August the 28th, 2015. It was one of the most exciting moments of our lifetime. Since we booked this event we have been looking forward to it. Finally when the time arrived we boarded Makani Catamaran with a wonderful reception from the crews. They were all very funny and knowledgeable. The boat was clean and well organized. We sailed on time and were at the fireworks at the right moment. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with beautiful music. On the top of that we were also given a free drink. Had a nice opportunity to view the sunset as well. It was everything that you can expect on your first event in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Vancouver Visitor

We booked this with our 3 girls, ages 8, 8 & 10. This is a very family-friendly activity, and the girls interacted with other kids on the boat to make the experience better. The catamaran is comfortable and sails extremely well. We went all the way around Diamond Head before sunset, really good views! Dinner was salad, tofu rolls, chicken, beef, and extremely tasty. Not luxurious (if you want that, take the Star of Honolulu...for much more money!). The bar was well stocked. Sunset was beautiful. We had front row seats for the Hilton fireworks. The kids stayed interested and engaged the whole 3 hours, and adults had fun too! Transportation to and from Waikiki was efficient and on time.
Great value and highly recommended.

Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: sam

We loved the dinner cruise!!! The staff were awesome. Very friendly, willing to talk and answer questions. First captain was probably sick of taking pictures for everyone by the end :) The food was great also. There was plenty for each person and then some. The buffet style was great so everyone could eat when and where they wanted not to formal. Relaxed and casual just like we wanted. Timing was perfect to see the sunset and the view was beautiful. Everyone was good about rotating on the nets to make sure everyone else got time. The only thing I would change about this experience is make it an adult only cruise. Everything else was great!!! Thanks :)

It shakes quite a bit. 結構揺れますよ。

Reviewed by: マスダ

I heard it would be rocky, and it really is, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please take some medication before going. There were about 5-6 people from America, 2 from Europe, and around 6 Japanese participants. At first, it shakes quite a bit, which is a bit nerve-wracking, but it calms down towards the end. The staff engages with you, so you can really enjoy the travel atmosphere. They also speak some simple English, so it's recommended for those who want to feel like they're having fun locally. Lastly, the sunset is very beautiful. By the way, if you want a proper meal, you might want to reconsider, as it's just light snacks.

揺れると聞いていましたが、本当に揺れますので酔い止めが必要な人は飲んで行ってください。アメリカの方々？が５〜６　ヨーローッパ２名　日本人６名くらいで参加しました。最初は結構揺れるのでドキドキですが最後の方は穏やかです。スタッフの方々が話しかけてくれるので旅行気分がかなり味わえます。
簡単な英語も話してくれるので現地で遊んでいる感覚が欲しい人にはオススメです。最後にサンセットはとても綺麗です。ちなみにちゃんと食事したい人はやめた方がいいかもしれません。軽食です。

They were friendly and made sure to check on everyone to ensure no one was sick. We were out at sea for about 2 and a half hours, which is a good amount of time and there were a lot of waves out making it fun for many.

Dinner cruise

Reviewed by: the harts

We booked this cruise online, requesting a hotel pickup. The day before the booking we were contacted at our hotel to confirm day and time of pickup. On arriving at the boat all the guests were debriefed with safety instructions while on board (this was good to see), we were introduced to our crew, Johnny , stretch and Amy, who were all very approachable and friendly. We headed out from the marina and hoisted the sails. Not long after leaving the marina, we were all invited to get our meals. The food was great, tasty, light and plenty of it. As part of the package we each received two drink vouchers. We cruised from the marina right out to diamond head and back again. The sunset on the way back to the marina was just beautiful. We had a great evening and enjoyed meeting a number of people - if you like sailing and enjoy meeting new people, then I would recommend this activity.
