90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

Perma-Grin !

Reviewed by: Rob from Phoenix AZ

I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.

  • Spectacular Sunset March 2023

  • View from the bow

サンセットセーリング ワイキキ沖で夕日を堪能!ご希望でサンセットタイムのスイミングも! <ワイキキ発>

A friendly crew and the best sunset cruise. フレンドリーなクルーと最高なサンセットクルーズ

Reviewed by: Harumi

The crew on the boat was humorous, and we had a very enjoyable time. They took photos for us, and the service was excellent. The length of the sunset cruise was just right. Since you can swim in the sea at the points along the way, I think having snorkeling gear would make it even more enjoyable. I also recommend bringing a jacket as it can get cold. If I have the opportunity to go to Waikiki again, I would definitely like to use this service.

船のクルーはユーモアがあり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。写真を撮ってくれたり、サービスも満点です。
サンセットクルーズの長さもちょうど良いです。
途中のポイントの海で泳ぐことができるので、スノーケルがあるとより楽しめると思います。
また、寒くなるので上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。
またワイキキに行く機会があればぜひ利用したいです。

Waikiki Fireworks Sail & Honolulu Booze Cruise with Drinks Included - Holokai Catamaran

It was fun, but more of a booze cruise

Reviewed by: bhall

It was fun, but not meant for minors. This was a firework cruise, with an open bar. I just didnt realize it would be less minors and more abou the open bar. Which is my own fault. the crew was great.

The staff was skilled at getting everyone on board, and we had a great time together. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was refreshing, and I recommend this experience. At first, my wife was worried about seasickness, but she ended up drinking more than usual.

Since it's a small cruise ship, one advantage is that if we find a whale, we can get close to it. 小さいクルーズ船だからこぞホエールを見つけたら近くに寄って貰えるメリット

Reviewed by: take2

I participated in a whale watching tour on March 4th. I was torn between a large cruise ship and a smaller one, but I decided to go with the smaller cruise ship, thinking it might get closer to the whales when we spotted them.

At the meeting point, there was no reception, and the staff who were on the returning cruise ship handled the check-in, which left me a bit confused about whether I was in the right place while waiting.

They did move a bit closer, getting within about 100 meters, and I was able to take great videos and photos with my smartphone's 2x zoom.

There were options not just for the five mountains, but also for morning, late morning, and early afternoon, allowing for flexibility in scheduling with other options and making effective use of my time.

3月4日のホエールウォッチングに参加
 大きいクルーズ船と迷ったが小さいクルーズ船の方がホエールを見つけた際、少しでも近づけるのではと今回申込みをしました
 集合場所では受付が無く戻ってきたクルーズ船に乗っているスタッフが受付をする為、待っている間ここで良いのか戸惑いました

やはり少しずつ移動をしてくれて100m辺りまで近づいてくれスマホの2倍望遠でも十分動画、写真が取ることが出来ました

時間も五山だけで無く、朝・昼前・昼過ぎから選べるので他のオプションとのセッティングも出来時間を有効に使う事が出来ました

花火鑑賞 ナイトセーリング  2種類の船から選べる!ロマンチックな夜のクルーズ ドリンク購入可<金曜日限定/アラワイボートハーバー発>

Beautiful sunset and fireworks. 美しい夕日と花火

Reviewed by: よっちゃん

On my last trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise and had a great time, so this time, since the day before my return was a Friday, I joined a fireworks viewing cruise. It seems that some other tours don't allow you to see the sunset due to departure times, but this tour lets you enjoy both. There are sightseeing boats and yachts, but I recommend the yacht. It departs from in front of the Prince Hotel, and you can get there from Waikiki by taking bus numbers 20, 23, or 42. On the way back, I took the E bus. Tips are separate, and there was a box provided for them when disembarking.

前回のハワイ旅行ではサンセットクルーズに参加してとても良かったので、今回は帰国前日が金曜だったこともあり花火鑑賞のクルーズに参加しました。他のツアーでは出発時間の関係で夕日が見られないツアーもあるようですが、このツアーは両方見られます。船は遊覧船とヨットがありますがヨットの方がお勧めです。プリンスホテルの前から出航ですが、ワイキキからは20,23,42番のバスで移動できます。帰りはEに乗りました。チップは別で下船の際に入れる箱が用意されていました。

I couldn't tell if it was a whale or not. クジラかどうかは分からない位の見え方でした

Reviewed by: マキオクン

Since they are wild whales, I suppose it's understandable, but I could only see them spouting water from a distance and their tails. It was hard to tell whether they were whales or dolphins.

野生のクジラなので仕方がないと思いますが、遠くに潮を吹く姿、尾ひれくらいしか見られませんでした。その位なのでクジラなのかイルカなのか区別がつかない感じでした。

I am very satisfied! とても満足です!

Reviewed by: mrk

The back of Prince Waikiki serves as the meeting place, and everyone gathers there at the scheduled time. The departure was on time as planned.

Inside the boat, music was playing, creating a great atmosphere. Drinks can be purchased at the bar counter on the first floor.

As for the whales, we couldn't see them up close, but we saw many, so I was very satisfied! The day I participated, the weather was cloudy, and the wind was very strong, making the waves quite rough, which caused some people to feel seasick. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring some medication.

prince waikikiの裏が待ち合わせ場所になっていて集合時間になるとみなさん集まってきます。時間は予定通りに出航してくれました。
船内も音楽がかかっていて良い雰囲気です。ドリンクは1階のバーカウンターで購入できます。
肝心のクジラはあまり近くでは見れなかったですが、たくさん見れたので大満足です!
私が参加した日は天気は曇り、風がとても強かったので波がとても荒く船酔いしている人もいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持って行った方が良いと思います。

Waikiki Sunset Canoe Sail with Hawaiian Dinner & Culture Activities - Kamoauli

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 Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

Amazing snorkel trip w/ top-notch crew

Reviewed by: Johnny Avo

We took a snorkel trip with the Moana boat crew and had a fantastic experience. We set sail on the beautiful catamaran at 0830 and to head out see the sea turtles at the infamous 'shell-cleaning' reef which is located just outside the breakers off Waikiki beach. Our Capt for the day, Anthony, was personable, friendly and made us all feel welcome aboard the boat. Zack and Sarah were the other two crew members and they were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. 100% would sail with this crew again. Bring some tip $ for them, because they definitely deserve it. Book a tour today!

The snorkel site is popular and several boats are in the area, which is nice because you don't feel like you're out in the middle of the ocean alone. It can get busy with everyone trying to see the turtles and fish so be sure to keep an eye on the surface as well as watching what is below. Some turtles even come over to our boat and I snapped a photo (attached to this review). Overall water depth is about 20-30 feet and even on a cloudy & murky day (like ours) we could easily see numerous fish and several large sea turtles. We were even lucky enough to see Humpback whales (mom & baby)!!

We booked our trip in mid/late Feb and it was overcast & rainy. A bit chilly at times, but come prepared and it's a fun trip regardless. Plenty of covered space to store dry items, but a "drybag" is a nice touch on any beach/water adventure.
We booked the 0830 trip to maximize sea life activity which also resulted in 2 families being on the boat....8 people total. Virtually a private tour! When we pulled back into the pier for the next tour there were about 20-25 people waiting for the next tour. And, parking at the marina is easier before the crowds arrive.

  • Turtle swimming right next to the catamaran close enough to almost reach out and touch.
