このツアーに参加して、まず言いたいことは皆さん参加するべきです！！船から見るサンセット、船上で食べるビッフェ式のディナーなどどれも100点満点！！まず最初にバスで迎えが来るんですけど運転手の方の対応も良く、船員の方々もとてもハワイらしくフレンドリーでこちらも気分がとても良かったです！舟も大きく私たちが参加した時は20人程度だったのですが広々して、窮屈という感じは全くありませんでした！またハワイに行く機会があったら参加したいと思います！

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Good crew and nice experience

Reviewed by: Stephen

The booking was easy to make and the round-trip bus ride was a definite plus - the driver dropped us off at our hotel as a courtesy. The boat ride was pleasant and the food was decent and bountiful. The crew was very friendly and excelled at their jobs. I thought it was very thoughtful of them to help passengers with motion sickness by providing a bottle of essential oils. The sky was cloudy on this particular evening, a sunset was not seen. However, the lights of Honolulu were gorgeous and the overall atmosphere was most enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this excursion, I only advise that you try to plan accordingly in terms of weather so that you may see a sunset. One thing to keep in mind during the winter months is whale sightings are possible. Thank you to the crew

Nice Way to End Our Trip

We booked as the ending of our trip in Honolulu. It was very relaxing. Food was ok and the drinks a bit weak for the price and the pricing was not clear. But the sailing was smooth, the crew was friendly, and the view was spectacular.

A good time memorable adventure

Reviewed by: Bill

It was a great sunset (as almost all are in Hawaii) meeting some new friends and having some fun with a lively crew. Would recommend for family entertainment as well as enjoyable for 'just the two' of you. It was great to have the pre-boarding show and get to meet some of the crew/cast. The food was good and the crew took very good care of of all.

Reviewed by: Alaskans

This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!!

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Great cruise if you like sunset!

Reviewed by: Brian

The boat departed the pier just after the posted time. There’s a cash bar onboard and they have the must-haves there; Mai Tai, pina colada, among others. Buffet was open after the sail went up, about 15 minutes into the cruise. Basic stuff, chicken, rice, egg rolls, but nicely done. It’s mid November so the sunset was about 5:50, and on the one side the setting sun, the other Diamond Head and Waikiki, it really is a very nice setting for photos. The crew was friendly and took good care of us. We turned back after an hour and the last 30 minutes or so you also get the night view of Waikiki as the last light disappeared behind the horizon.
Make sure you take a Dramamine If you get sick on boats, because with all the activities in the area wakes can turn even the calmest sea into a roller coaster, and it was pretty windy that day. Also if you don’t show up on time the driver won’t wait, and you’ll just have to get a taxi or uber to the on-site check-in point.

Go with the 5 Star!

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

  • A delicious and lovely vegan option

  • A salad so pretty I almost didn't want to eat it

  • Private reception and hula dance

Very elegant experience with great food and amazing live music

Reviewed by: Ashton

I would definitely recommend the Five Star package if you're having trouble deciding which package to choose from! It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!

Three star. I'm not sure I'd go again. And certainly not at that price.

Reviewed by: Yawn

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

Sunset sail, great crew, great music, good food. what more can you ask for. This is one of the best trips we have in Hawaii.
I have no word to describe how anyone would not join this cruise. The scene was gorgeous and the crew couldn't be more inviting. Everyone was kind and make sure that we are safe and still have fun. I enjoyed most is the Mai Tai and the buffet . What a relaxing way to enjoy the sunset. I highly recommend this event. Is a must to do in Oahu

Perfectly Elegant Evening

Reviewed by: MsTravelGal

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

Dynamite Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Karrie B

Without having any expectations we can say that this excursion rocked! The captain and crew absolutely exceeded expectations in all areas - food, fun, booze, music, atmosphere and views! We weren't sure what to bring or really what to expect - bottom line is, you don't need to bring anything except a smile and a desire to relax and enjoy a great evening (and a camera if you're interested in getting some spectacular pics of the sunset, beaches, and some gorgeous coastlines). The food was quite delicious and well prepared (we've been on cruises like this before in other area's and is typical "rubber chicken" stuff - that was not the case here - excellent steak, bbq chicken, veggies, and fixings! The crew (doubling as bartenders) did not skimp on the drinks and made some truly good cocktails. The crew were also fantastic in checking on everyone and making sure everyone was having a good time and getting what they needed. The music they played was awesome and really helped set the atmosphere - you could dance by the moonlight or sunset and have a few romantic moments - or just some good atmosphere. We would absolutely go again!

  • A group of us together for sunset on deck!

Best sunset / dinner cruise on the islands!

Reviewed by: Stephen

The captain and crew of this boat were phenomenal! They created at atmosphere that was relaxed, fun and entertaining (no easy feat considering the diverse group on board!). The food was surprisingly excellent (we had low expectations and were quite pleasantly surprised) :) The drinks were quite good, generous and not watered down at all (again, something common on other cruises). The views were spectacular and the captain made sure that everyone knew what was coming and how / where to enjoy the sights. We would absolutely go out on this boat / trip again any time were on the island. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough.

A Great Time On Oahu's South Shore!

Reviewed by: Dave

We had the most awesome time on Makani Catamaran! The views of the city are beautiful and give you a very different perspective of the city from the ocean.

The catamaran is well maintained, clean, and very stable on open waters. The best place to sit is up front near the trampolines as you head out towards Diamond Head.

Captain Brad, Adam, and Tommy were very personable, and made sure that all passengers were having a great time.

We highly recommend this sunset cruise. It is so relaxing and absolutely stunning!

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Catherine Yu

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.
