We had to reschedule due to President Trump's visit to Oahu and disruption of island traffic. They were very accommodating and pleasant in assisting us. We may have missed the fire works but the views were awesome, the music pleasant, and the dinner varied/good! Mahalo to the Capt and crew!!

The lobster was packed with meat and delicious!
The buffet menu was limited, and drinks were charged separately, which was disappointing.
However, if you're thinking of it as a light experience for a travel memory, it might be fine.
As for the dress code, many Westerners were in casual styles like T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
If you dress too formally, you'll definitely stand out.
It seemed just right to go with a collared shirt (polo shirts are fine), long pants (jeans are acceptable), and shoes (sneakers are okay).
**Message from the tour company:**
There was a free drink table with coffee, tea, and water, but there were no sodas??
There was no menu on the table, and they didn't come to take orders; it seemed like you had to go to the ordering table to get guidance.
I think I didn't approach the ordering table because I assumed there would be an extra charge from the start, but it was a bit unclear.
I hope for improvements!
ロブスターが身が詰まってておいしかった!
ビュッフェメニューは少ないし、ドリンク類有料だし食事内容は残念。
でも、「旅の記念に行ってみよう」くらいの軽い感覚ならいいのでは?
ドレスコードですが、欧米人はTシャツ、短パン、ビーサンのラフスタイル多数。
決め過ぎると間違いなく浮きます。
襟付きシャツ(ポロシャツ可)、長ズボン(ジーンズ可)、靴(スニーカー可)くらいで行くのが丁度良さそうでしたよ。
※※※催行会社さんからのメッセージを読んで※※※
コーヒー、紅茶、水はフリードリンクのテーブルにありましたが、コーラ類はありませんでしたけど??
テーブルにメニューもなかったし、そもそもオーダーを取りにも来てくれなかったし、注文するテーブルまで行かないと案内されないシステムだったのでしょうかね。
最初から別料金だと思って、オーダーするテーブルに近づかなかったからわからなかったのだと思いますが、ちょっとわかりづらいですね。
改善を期待します!

It was bad timing with President Trump's visit, but everything proceeded on schedule without any issues. The night view and fireworks were great, but the buffet on the ship was somewhat disappointing in taste. Most of the main meal was on the sweeter side, which was disappointing; the only thing that was really good was the lobster. I was satisfied with the fruits and vegetables. I was able to see the fireworks from a good spot on the deck, so I was happy with that, although the duration was short.
トランプ大統領の来島とのバッドタイミングでしたが、無事に定刻どおり進みました。夜景と花火は、良かったのですが、船内のバイキングは、いまいちの味でした。メインミールの味付けが殆ど甘めで、ガッカリでした、唯一美味しかったのは、ロブスターくらいかな〜
フルーツと、野菜等は満足はしました。
花火は、デッキの良い場所から見れましたので、満足でした。ただ、時間は短かったです。

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。

The fireworks were shorter than I expected (about 5 minutes), so I thought it might not have been necessary to take the boat just for that. However, the atmosphere on the boat with the dining, dancing, and performances, as well as the night view, was very nice. I got seasick as soon as we boarded and couldn't move from my seat much, but the staff was very attentive and considerate. They took photos during boarding and would come around to sell them later. We decided to have the data sent to us via email, but there was no Wi-Fi on the boat, so I couldn't confirm the data reception. Later, it turned out that the data hadn't been sent, but I consulted with VELTRA, and they were able to send it to me after I returned to Japan. I was very grateful for their help. I think it's better to receive the photos in physical form.
予想していたよりも、花火は短かったので(5分くらい)、わざわざ花火のために船に乗らなくても良かったかなと思います。ただ、船上でのお食事や、踊りや演奏など、夜景など雰囲気はとても良かったです。乗船してすぐに船酔いしてしまい、ほとんど席から動くことはできなくなりましたが、スタッフの方たちは、いろいろ気にかけて下さいました。また、乗船時に写真を撮り、後で売りに来ます。私たちはデータのみメール送信してもらうことにしましたが、船内にwifiがなくデータ受信が確認できませんでした。あとで、送られていないことが判明しましたが、VELTRAの方に相談して、日本に帰国してからデータを送ってもらうことができました。VELTRAの方にも大変お世話になりました。写真は、やはり実物で受け取ったほうが良いと思いました。

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.

I drove to the parking lot of Aloha Tower Marketplace and searched around the marketplace, but I couldn't find anything that looked like a ticket center. Be aware that Pier 6, where the cruise departs, is located a bit further away. The rundown marketplace had sparse crowds, and even after asking a few people, no one knew where Pier 6 was. Although it was written that Atlantis Adventures could assist in Japanese, they only spoke English, which was a bit concerning. So, just to be safe, I asked an older gentleman managing the port, and finally arrived at Pier 6, where there was a large parking lot next to it. It would have been better if they had guided me here from the start.
As for the cruise itself, it was on a small boat, so there was a bit of rocking. The entertainment was simple, featuring a live performance and one hula dancer, but it was enough to enjoy the sunset and the night view of Honolulu. The meal portions were also appropriate. The boat has three levels: the first floor has tables for dining, the second floor has sofas for a more relaxed atmosphere, and the stage is also on the second floor. The third floor is partially covered with a roof over the deck, so it depends on the weather.
I think the cost is reasonable.
レンタカーでアロハタワー・マーケットプレイスの駐車場に行き、マーケットプレイス内を探し回りましたが、チケットセンターらしきものはなく、出航するピア6は少し離れた場所にあるので注意。さびれたマーケットプレイスには人がまばらで何人かに聞いてもピア6の場所は分からず、日本語で対応可能と書いてあったアトランティス アドベンチャーズ は英語しか話せず心許なかったので、念のため港の管理のおじさんに聞いてやっとピア6に到着すると、横に大きな駐車場。最初からここを案内してくれれば良いものを。
クルーズ自体は、小さな船なので少し揺れが大きく、エンターテイメントも簡易な生演奏とフラガール一人とささやかですが、サンセットやホノルルの夜景が楽しめるので十分でしょう。食事も適量です。船は三層で1階はテーブルで食事、2階はソファもあってゆったりくつろぐ感じ、ステージも2階です。3階は半分がデッキに屋根を付けたものなので、天候によるでしょう。
コスト的にはリーズナブルだと思います。

Dining while cruising and enjoying the sunset, the night view of Waikiki, and even watching fireworks was a truly luxurious experience. However, the fireworks from Hilton lasted only about five minutes, so if you're imagining the quality of a Japanese fireworks festival, you might find it a bit lacking. Please keep that in mind when attending the fireworks every Friday! ^^
クルーズで食事を取りながらサンセット、ワイキキの夜景、さらに花火を見たりするのはとても贅沢な時間を過ごせられました。ただヒルトンからの花火は5分程度だったので、日本の花火大会のようなクオリティを想像していると物足りなさが出てしまうため、毎週金曜日の花火はそのつもりで参加されてくださいね^^

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。

As mentioned in other people's experiences, the claim that this is "the only dinner cruise in Hawaii that can take you from Waikiki to offshore Diamond Head" was false. It followed the same route as Star of Honolulu and turned back well before reaching Diamond Head. It may have been due to high waves on the day, but there was no explanation provided. I had explained to other first-time visitors to Hawaii that we would go to offshore Diamond Head... The food was delicious. It was also nice that it wasn't as large as Star of Honolulu and had fewer people.
他の方の体験談にも記載がありましたが、「ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行くことができるハワイ唯一のディナークルーズ」というのは嘘でした。スターオフホノルルと同じコースを辿り、ダイアモンドヘッドのはるか手前で折り返し。当日は波が高かったのでそうなったかもしれませんが、その説明は無し。他の初ハワイの人たちに、「ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖まで行く」と説明したのに・・・。食事は美味しかったです。スターオフホノルルほど大きくなく人が少ないということも良かったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with the expected cruise to Diamond Head, which must have been disappointing.
Upon confirming the details of the cruise course with the local operating company, we found that there has been a change in the course since May 2017, and it no longer includes a trip to Diamond Head. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused due to our lack of coordination with the local operating company, which resulted in outdated information being published.

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。

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.
到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました

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!

There was also a Hawaiian dinner, but I opted for the affordable all-you-can-eat appetizers. It included four items like Thai-style grilled chicken and meatballs, along with a dessert cake. While it didn't feel luxurious, considering the $30 difference, the sunset, night view, and hula dance were wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.
ハワイアンディナーもあったのですが、金額の安いアペタイザー食べ放題にしました。タイ風の焼き鳥、肉団子など4品とデザートのケーキで、豪華感はなかったですが30ドルの違いがあるとかと言えば、サンセットや夜景、フラダンスなどの主役は素晴らしく、充分堪能できました。

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.

It was fully booked since I made a reservation for Friday night. I was worried if it would be too crowded. The sunset was hidden due to the clouds, but I was able to see the fireworks from the Hilton clearly.
The deck railing side was filled with people who boarded earlier, so I had to view from between them while sitting. The buffet tables are first-come, first-served, so if you board late, you won't get a good seat with a nice view. Since there is time until the fireworks, it might be a good idea to think about how to spend your time. The welcome drink was too sweet, and the alcoholic cocktails were just okay. Each person gets one lobster, so be careful not to overeat. It's a pretty standard buffet.
金曜日の夜に予約したので満席でした。こんなに乗れるのかな?と心配に。曇りでサンセットは隠れていて見られませんでしたが、ヒルトンの花火はしっかり見られました。
デッキの手すり側は先に乗船出来た人達で埋まっており、座ってだと人の隙間から見る感じ。
ビュッフェのテーブルは自由席で、遅く乗船になると眺めのいい席は座れないです。花火までは時間があるので、過ごし方を検討してみるといいかもしれません。ウェルカムドリンクは甘過ぎ、アルコールカクテルもちょっと・・・。ロブスターも一人ひとつ出るので食べ過ぎ注意。無難なビュッフェかと。

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

The food and service were all very good. The dishes were suitable for my 4 and 8-year-old children, who even asked for seconds. The fruits were fresh as well. It was a luxury to view Waikiki from the seaside, and we were able to relax. The staff mentioned that it had rained the day before, but they saw a rainbow. That kind of scenery is nice too.
料理、対応全てとても良かったです。
4歳、8歳の子供たちにも口に合う料理でおかわりをしていました。フルーツも新鮮。

前日は雨が降っていたようですが
虹が見られたとスタッフの方が言っていました。
