Sunset dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Viviane et jon

Huge disappointment
The dinner cruise was not a dinner cruise but a cruise where the excusexwas to get drunk on very ordinary food put in a box with zero explanation about what we were seeing
Unfortunately due to poor weather thete was no sunset to be seen
All in all it was 500 dollars totally wasted

Hawaiian fireworks ハワイアン花火

Reviewed by: 豪遊

The fireworks on Friday were amazing. I stayed at the Hilton, but I got a bit lost finding the meeting place, which turned into a bit of an adventure, but that was fun too!

金曜日の花火は、最高でした。

I wouldn’t go again.

Reviewed by: Guest

It was good, but I wouldn’t go again. I thought we signed up for a luao, a nice dinner, and a bigger boat that wouldn’t roll as much. This had a small take out dinner, dance music that felt like we were at the bar and the workers pushed for you to drink alcohol. In other words, this trip wasn’t attended to go as a family trip.

Besides the expectations going in - it was good, just wouldn’t go again. That’s not our scene.

My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. The weather was pleasant and the fireworks and the views of the city at night were spectacular. The food was good and the drinks were very good. The sailboat was clean and comfortable. We both felt that the captain and crew did a really nice job. We would do it again if we if we ever go to Oahu.

Wonderful

Reviewed by: DLW

Our family -seniors and adult children-were delighted with the sunset sail. It was the best thing I did in Oahu. We learned about Hawaiian values, the significance of the leis, danced some hula steps, and the men pounded taro. It was fun, staff was excellent, and we ended with a chant to the sunset. Everyone was so glad we did this. Highly recommended.

This is a MUST - don’t hesitate

Reviewed by: Valerie

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.

Waikiki Sunset Dinner & Fireworks Sail with Cocktails - Spirit of Aloha Cruises

Sunset + City lights + Fireworks

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.

I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.

If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.

Overall, great cruise! So much fun!

  • Gorgeous view from the water!

My partner and I absolutely loved their sunset cruise! Their entire crew was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The day we boarded was just myself, my partner and another family of four, which made it a very relaxing and peaceful day experience. The music, food, and history was something we will never forget. Even though the water was calm that day, don’t forget dramamine if you get easily sea sick like myself! I felt so bad for probably looking so uncomfortable, because it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful for the chance to have been on board with them.

AMAZING!!!! 5-Stars!!

Reviewed by: Onu

I highly recommend the Kamoauli Waikiki Sunset Cruise!

I was looking for something unique to surprise the love of my life while visiting the Island of O‘ahu. I came across the Kamoauli and I'm so glad I did! It was an amazing experience!!! We were able to sail during sunset and soak up so much Hawaiian culture. This was truly different than any other advertised cruise. It truly felt like we were in a different world. We got a chance to get away from the hustle & bustle of Waikiki and escaped to our own little paradise on the water. We felt a sense of peace. We danced, learned about the history of Waikiki and listened to beautiful music throughout the cruise. Did I say the food was authentic Hawaiian food and delicious! This was such a memorable experience and to be able to share it with the man I love was..... priceless! I love you R!

A huge Mahalo to the captain and crew!

The fireworks viewed from the sea at night, the best location. 夜の海から見る花火、最高のロケーション

Reviewed by: あきらっち

I participated in my first sunset dinner sailing. The meeting place is quite small, so you might overlook it... Be careful not to arrive too early, as there won't be any staff present before the meeting time. Since the maximum number of passengers is limited, I recommend making a reservation early. It's a sunset cruise, so you can see the romantic views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea. The boat also raises its sails, so there’s no engine noise, allowing for a smooth drift over the water, leading to the evening fireworks.

The fireworks viewed from the sea were beautifully reflected against the backdrop of the hotels in Waikiki. 海上からの花火見学 ワイキキのホテル群をバックにきれいに映えてました

Reviewed by: penchan

I boarded the Aloha with about 30 participants from the pier. To prevent water and dirt from getting on our feet, we handed our belongings to the crew when boarding and received them back upon returning to the pier.

The two drink tickets given at check-in can be exchanged for drinks of your choice, but the crew will also serve drinks without tickets, so in a way, there are no restrictions. Apart from us, there was one couple and a man who boarded alone for photography, along with couples and families from overseas.

It was a bit chilly outside due to the strong wind, but it’s not a long voyage, so it’s manageable. The fireworks against the backdrop of the Hilton Hawaiian Village last only about five minutes, but they are as spectacular as the finale of a Japanese fireworks festival. This short evening activity is convenient to enjoy after daytime sightseeing or water play.

Although it’s called a buffet, it’s more of a light snack rather than a lavish spread. Enjoy the fireworks with the image of flowers rather than dumplings!

船着き場の突堤から30人ほどの参加者と一緒にアロハ号に乗り込みました。足元は水濡れや船内の汚れ防止のためか乗り込む際にクルーに預け、突堤に帰港した際、受け取ります。
チェックインの際に渡されたドリンクチケット2枚で飲みたいドリンクと交換ですが、チケットなしでもクルーが欲しいドリンクを出してくれるのである意味制限なしみたいなものです。日本人は我々以外にご夫妻が1組と単独で写真撮影のために乗船した男性一人 あとは海外からのカップル 家族でした。 船外は風が強くやや冷えますが長時間の航海ではないので大丈夫です。 ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジをバックに打ちあがる花火はわずか5分ほどですが、日本の花火大会で云うフィナーレのような打ち上げで華やかです。夕方からの短時間のアクティビティですので日中の観光や水遊びの後に楽しめるのでお手軽です。ビュッフェと云っても豪華なものではなくスナック程度の軽食と思っていただいた方がいいです。花より団子ではなく団子より花のイメージで花火を楽しまれるといいですよ

I had seen the Friday fireworks from Waikiki Beach several times, but when I found "Sailing," I thought, this is it!! There were about 50 people on board, and only four of us were Japanese, but it was reassuring to have Japanese language support. I was impressed by the hospitality of Captain Matthew and the staff, including Masa. There were plenty of drinks and a buffet, which made me very satisfied. The pleasant sea breeze and the fireworks in the night sky of Waikiki created wonderful memories. I highly recommend it to everyone!

The night view and fireworks seen from the seaside are the best. 海側から眺める夜景と花火は最高

Reviewed by: さとちゃん

The sunset in Waikiki offers a breathtaking view of the night scenery from the boat, and you can enjoy the fireworks without any obstructions. With light meals and alcohol, I had a great time feeling a bit tipsy among the high-energy passengers and the crew who spoke Japanese. It's also reassuring that there are restrooms on board. If there are many Japanese guests, they provide individual explanations in Japanese, which was very appreciated.

ワイキキのサンセット、夜景が船から一望でき、花火も視界を遮るものが何も無く堪能できます。軽い食事とアルコールでほろ酔い気分でハイテンションな乗客と日本語が通じるクルーのおもてなしでとても良い時間を過ごすことができました。トイレも船内にあるので安心です。日本人が多い場合は、日本語で個別に説明をしてくれるのでそこもありがたかったです。

I was able to see Waikiki from the sea for the first time. The fireworks from Hilton felt different from those viewed from Hilton Lagoon; it was as if I was monopolizing the fireworks. However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food.

The boat I wanted to take was canceled due to maintenance, and I made a last-minute reservation without much expectation. However, being close to the water and feeling the pleasant sea breeze while watching Waikiki transform from day to night was really wonderful. The casual style allowed us to sit at the front of the boat and relax. We could see the happy Friday fireworks from the front, making it feel like we had them all to ourselves. Drinks were unlimited, and the crew promptly checked on us when our drinks ran low and made more for us. The food was delicious too. They brought desserts around to the guests, and everyone was really nice. Although I'm not very good at English, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. I usually don't get motion sickness in cars or boats, but I was a bit worried about seasickness when we headed out. Surprisingly, it didn't sway much even while docked. I felt the price was a bit high when I signed up, but it was totally worth it. It was the best experience!

乗りたい船がメンテナンスでキャンセルになり、ぎりぎりで予約して期待してなかったのですが、海面が近くて、海風が心地よくワイキキの町を日が沈み夜景に変化していく姿もとっても良かったです。ラフなスタイルのため船の前の方に座ってのんびりできます。happy Fridayの花火他の船より前で見ることができます。花火独り占めな感じです。飲み物も飲み放題でした。船員さんも飲み物なくなるとすぐ聞いてくれて作ってくれます。食べ物もおいしかったです。デザートを船のあちこちにいるお客さんの所に持ってきてくれてとってもいい人達でした。英語得意ではないですが日本語できるスタッフいるので安心でした。普段車酔いや船酔いなどしない方ですが、沖に出るため船酔いを気にしましたが停泊中も意外と揺れなかったです。お値段は少し高いかなーと感じて申し込みましたが全然良かったです。最高でした。

Friday is surprisingly great! 金曜日は意外と最高です!

Reviewed by: ふーみん

I reluctantly participated here as I couldn't secure a reservation for the Star of Honolulu and Majestic. However, this cruise takes a detour to ensure a clear view of Diamond Head, and thanks to the surrounding sailboats, you can capture beautiful photos. Unfortunately, on the day of the cruise, the weather was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset, but it would have been visible without any issues on a clear day. The buffet can be thought of as simple fast food and drinks, so I don't think it will be a major issue. As for the evening fireworks, it was surprisingly close, which was quite moving.

One point to note right after boarding is that the announcements will be made in Japanese in the cabin and in English on the deck. It’s definitely advisable to secure a spot on the deck. The announcements include the locations of the restrooms (two at the back), explanations of the boat/life jackets in case of an emergency, and how to order drinks, which are all straightforward matters.

スターオブホノルル号とマジェスティック号の予約が取れず、渋々こちらに参加しました。
然るに、本回遊はダイヤモンドヘッドがしっかり見えるまで迂回し、周りの帆船の甲斐あって、美しい写真が撮れます。当日は残念ながら曇天につき夕陽は拝めませんでしたが、快晴であれば問題なく見れたでしょう。ビュッフェは簡単なファストフード&ドリンクと思って頂ければ大きな問題にはならないと思います。後は夜の花火ですが、意外と間近で拝見することになり感無量になります。
一点、乗船直後の諸注意連絡ですが、日本語説明をキャビンで、英語説明をデッキで行います。どう考えても場所取りはデッキを押さえるべきです。連絡事項はトイレの場所(後方2箇所)、不慮の事故の際のボート/ライフジャケットの説明、ドリンクオーダーの仕方などで全く問題ない内容です。

Sunset & Fireworks Viewing Dinner Sailing サンセット&花火鑑賞・ディナーセーリング

Reviewed by: fy_kari

The number of passengers is about 40 to 50, mostly foreigners. When we boarded, there were only three groups of Japanese, including us.

All explanations and announcements after boarding are in English, but even for someone like me who struggles with English, I could somewhat grasp the atmosphere and understood that they were explaining the ship's features and safety instructions with a bit of humor.

After departure, we had about two hours of free time to enjoy meals and drinks, take in the scenery, and take photos. Initially, many people focused on getting food and ordering drinks, but after a while, the atmosphere on the ship settled down. The staff came around to take drink orders, took photos, and later brought around desserts. As we approached the time for fireworks, the staff provided guidance (all in English), and everyone moved to the deck to enjoy the fireworks from prime spots.

After the fireworks ended, we returned to the dock, marking the end of the dinner sailing.

As noted in the guidelines, "the dress code is casual," which made me wonder how casual it really was. I think wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals is perfectly fine. As mentioned in other people's experiences, you need to take off your shoes before boarding. In reality, you remove your shoes on land and place them in a large basket, then walk a little on asphalt to board the ship. Most people took off their socks when removing their shoes, so I recommend wearing sandals from the start. Also, since shoes are placed directly in the basket without bags, if you're concerned, it might be best to avoid expensive or brand-name shoes.

Regarding the food, it was a buffet as listed on the menu. The ship swayed quite a bit, so I couldn't eat a full meal and ended up just having light snacks. For drinks, each person received two alcohol tickets, but honestly, it felt like you could drink as much as you wanted (though this might have only been the case on the day we participated).

Depending on the weather, the ship can sway quite a lot due to being on the sea. If you're worried at all, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. I tend to get motion sickness easily, so I took medication before boarding. To avoid seasickness, I kept my meal light, opted for soft drinks, and thanks to the medication, I was able to enjoy the entire experience without feeling sick.

Overall, true to the tour's name, I was able to enjoy the sunset and fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze on the sea, creating wonderful memories. The staff were friendly and very nice. However, considering the atmosphere on the ship and the variety of food, I think the price is quite high. Honestly, I found myself justifying the cost with reasons like "it's a family trip" or "we're in Hawaii," trying to convince myself that the price was reasonable.

乗船人数はだいたい40~50名程度でほとんどが外国人の方です。私たちが乗船したときは、私たちを含め日本人は3組でした。
乗船後の説明・案内等は全て英語ですが、英語が苦手な私でもなんとなく雰囲気で船内の説明や注意事項を冗談交じりで説明しているんだなぁということがわかりました。
出発後は、食事やドリンクを受け取り食事をしたり、景色を眺めたり、写真を撮ったり、2時間くらい自由な時間を過ごす感じです。最初は食事を取りに行く方やドリンクを注文しに行く方が集中しますが、少し時間が経つと船内の中が落ち着き、スタッフの方がドリンクの注文を聞いてまわってくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたり、後半にはデザートを持ってまわってくれました。出発から2時間くらいが経って花火の時間が近づくとスタッフの方が案内をしてくれ(全て英語です)、全員デッキへ移動して特等席で花火を見ることが出来ます。
花火終了後は乗り場まで戻り、ディナーセーリング終了という流れです。

ご注意・ご案内の欄にも記載ある通り、“ドレスコードはカジュアルです”となっているため、どの程度のカジュアルなのかとても悩みましたが、Tシャツ・短パン・サンダル等のラフな格好で問題ないと思います。他の方々の体験談にも記載のとおり、船内は靴を脱いで乗船となります。実際は、船を乗る前に、陸のところで靴を脱ぎ大きなカゴみたいなところに靴を入れて、船のところまでアスファルトの上を少し歩き、乗船します。靴下等を履いている場合は、靴を脱ぐ際に一緒に靴下を脱いでいる方がほとんどでしたので、最初からサンダルで行くことをお勧めします。また、靴は袋等に入れることなくカゴの中にそのまま入れるため、もし気になる方がいれば高級な靴やブランド靴は控えたほうが良いかと思います。

料理については、メニューに記載されている内容のビュッフェでした。船が大変揺れますので、私はしっかり食事を取ることはできず、おつまみのような軽食を食べるのみになってしまいました。
ドリンクについては、アルコールチケット1人2枚までもらえますが、正直あまり関係なく何杯でも飲めるような感じでした。(私たちが参加した日だけかもしれませんが)

天候にもよると思いますが、海の上のため、船はかなり揺れます。少しでも心配な方は酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。私は乗り物酔いをしやすいため、乗船前に薬を飲んでから参加しました。船酔いだけは避けたかったため、食事も軽めに済ませ、ドリンクもソフトドリンクにし、薬を飲んだかいもあり(?)、船酔いすることなく最後まで楽しめました。

全体を通して、ツアー名通り、海の上で心地よい風を感じながらサンセットと花火鑑賞を楽しむことができ、良い思い出となりました。スタッフの方々は気さくでとても良い方ばかりです。
ただ、それにしても船内の感じや料理の種類等からすると値段が高すぎるかと思います。“家族旅行だから”“せっかくハワイまで行ったから”等の理由を無理やりつけて、この値段で納得するようにしているのが正直なところです。
