Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.
And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.

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!

We really enjoyed the sunset catamaran cruise - amazing views of the water & Waikiki coastline with enough Mai Tais & Coronas to go around for everyone. Some bumpy moments so I would not recommend if you are prone to seasickness. Overall we had a really amazing time and I would definitely do it again!

Even though it rained during our cruise we still had a great time because of the crew memebrs! Affordable great drinks (1 was free) and good music! Definitely recommend booking through them and will do it again when we come back to Hawaii! Shout out to Sarah for giving her rain jacket to the lady next to me so she wouldn't get wet!

I read the reviews and trusted everyone's comments about how great it was, so I signed up. It was amazing! Since I was staying at the Sheraton, it only took 5 minutes to get to the boarding area from my room. We had to wait quite a while until departure, but it was fine even if we were cutting it close. We sped out into the ocean, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful. After 6 o'clock, the sunset turned the sky red, and it was stunning.

シェラトンに泊まっていたので、部屋から5分で乗り場まで行けます。出航までかなり待ちました。ギリギリでも大丈夫です。風をきって、かなり沖まで走ります。海から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッドはとてもキレイです。6時過ぎからサンセットで空が赤くなりキレイです。

Typically, the seats of other people are right next to you, and since everyone is not wearing masks, if you are concerned about COVID, the restrictions in Japan are completely different, so at the very least, wearing a mask is necessary.
I attended alone, but considering my seating, I was allowed to sit in a special reserve seat and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
The colors of the sunset were indescribable, a pink hue that is rarely seen in Japan, and it dyed the sea that color as well.
Since we set sail while it was still bright, the view of the buildings in Waikiki and the mountains behind them from the ocean was fantastic, and especially the night view after it got dark was amazing.
The cruise lasts for two hours until the fireworks start, so you can really enjoy it.
通常であれば他の人の席はすぐ横で、皆さん、マスク等もしていないので、コロナを気にされるなら、日本での制限状況とは全く違うので、最低限マスクは必要です。
一人での参加だったのですが、席を考えていただき、特別の予備席に座らせていただき満喫できました。
夕焼けの色はなんとも言えない日本ではなかなか見れないピンク色で海までそのピ色に染まってました。
明るいうちから出港するので、沖から眺めるワイキキの建物と後ろの山々の景色は最高で、とりわけ暗くなってからの夜景も最高です。
クルーズの時間が花火が上がるまでの2時間あるので、かなり満喫できます。

This tour was really fun! I've been to Oahu multiple times but my fiance hasn't. So we decided to try some fun new stuff out. I've never done a sunset tour. Our group on the boat was fun and slightly reserved, which is fine by me! The crew was great! It's only 2 guys but they make it fun with passing out drinks and starting up convos. I get sea sick and forgot to take my motion meds before we took off from the beach. Going out the water was exceptionally choppy and the waves were big the further out you got. I had to stand up and by the railing to make sure if I had to vomit it wouldn't go on me or anyone else. The meds finally kicked in on the way back and the water also smoothed out coming back in so I was perfectly fine to start talking to people and getting my moneys worth of drinks in me. This cruise is for everyone! There was one young girl (underage) who stayed up in front of the boat on the netting and got soaked and enjoyed every min of it. There was two older ladies (I mean like 75-85 years in age who needed more assistance getting on the boat and off and around the boat at times and the two guys who run the boat were perfect gentlemen helping them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Also the music was good! I'd recommend this to everyone and anyone wanting to enjoy a sunset cruise!

The food was not great. The meat was tough, and the seats were cramped. I had trouble communicating with the staff in Japanese, but a person at a nearby table helped me.

Super fun experience. The boat and crew were friendly and their pina coladas were EXCELLENT.
The only thing that kept this from being an outstanding experience was that as a solo participant, I was a little left out. Drink orders went out and someone finally noticed I didn’t have one and took care of it. Then, towards the end, another staff member went around asking everyone if they wanted their photos taken and I wasn’t included. At the end of the day, it’s no biggie and I don’t think it was intentional but just wanted to mention it for consideration. I think it’s just one of those things that happen to solo travelers here and there.
Otherwise, loved it!

It was my first sunset cruising experience. I had previously been on a dinner cruise, and since my husband had never been on one, I was thinking of doing a dinner cruise again. However, we decided to try the sunset cruise instead, so we quickly made a reservation.
After checking in, we boarded the ship at the scheduled time. Aside from us, everyone else was foreign tourists, but everyone was enjoying themselves, toasting with Mai Tais as we set sail. The view of Waikiki Beach and the opposite side of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic, as well as the mountains we saw from the activities we experienced during the day. Of course, the setting sun was beautiful.
The background music was from my husband's youth, which also became a wonderful memory.
初めてのサンセットクルージング。
以前ディナークルーズに乗ったことはあり、今回も主人が乗った事がなかったのでディナークルーズにしようと思っていました。
ですが、サンセットクルーズに乗ってみようという事で、早速申し込みました。
受付を済ませ時間になり乗船。
私達以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ楽しみ、マイタイで乾杯しながら出港。
海側から見るワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの反対側。そして昼間体験したアクティビティから見えた山など、すごく良かったです。
もちろん沈みゆく太陽、綺麗でした。

Great value, the three staff members were helpful in promptly refilling drinks when they saw empty cups. Also gave my wife and I unlimited mai tai's, probably for everyone else on the catamaran too. Ride was bumpy at times but we didn't get sea sick. Music choice was also perfect the entire way though. They take great pictures of you as well.

This was my first time boarding the "Catamaran" with my wife and our 25-year-old daughter. To put it mildly, it was "the best." Every time I walk along Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, which I have visited many times, I would see the "Mai Tai Catamaran" but would pass by without paying much attention. When a friend who is well-versed in Hawaii asked me, "Have you ever been on the Catamaran?" and I replied, "I know about it, but I haven't," he exclaimed, "What are you doing in Hawaii? You can't start your Hawaii experience without riding the Catamaran! It would be pointless to go to Hawaii!" I thought he was being a bit dramatic, but his enthusiasm piqued my interest, and I attempted to board once, but that year (2019, before the pandemic), it was fully booked every day. I resolved that the next time I went to Hawaii, I would definitely ride the Catamaran, and I made my reservation around the same time I booked my flight tickets.
On the day of my reservation in early August 2022, we went to the check-in area on the beach in front of the Sheraton at the designated time, confirmed our reservation with the voucher, and then walked barefoot along the shoreline to board the "Catamaran," being careful not to bring sand onto the boat. Two capable crew members skillfully prepared for departure, and as the boat smoothly pulled away from the beach and floated into the sea, an extraordinary feeling and excitement washed over me. I understood what my friend meant. The Catamaran proceeded slowly offshore, paying attention to the surfers near the beach, and after a while, it raised its sails and picked up speed. I was moved by the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, a perspective I had never seen before. The crew announced that drinks were ready, and we toasted as a family on board. The blue sea, blue sky, the scent of Hawaii, the sound of the ocean breeze, upbeat background music, and the sound of the sails fluttering all combined to create an indescribably exquisite moment that my vocabulary cannot capture.
After a while, we were delighted to see dolphins playing alongside the Catamaran. As the sun approached the horizon, I felt a twinge of regret as the boat drew closer to the beach. The cruise ended as we returned to Waikiki Beach around sunset. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely board the Catamaran. I apologize for the writing style resembling that of an elementary school student.
今回初めて、私、妻、25歳の娘の家族3名で「カタマラン号」に乗船しました。控えめに申し上げても「最高」でした。幾度となく訪れているハワイ、ワイキキビーチを散歩するたび毎回のように見掛けていた「マイタイ・カタマラン号」、あまり気も留めずに船の前を素通りしていました。ハワイ通の友人から「カタマラン号に乗った事ある?」と尋ねられ「知っているけど無い」と答えると、「何しにハワイに行ってるの!カタマラン号に乗らないとハワイは始まらないよ!ハワイに行った意味がないよ!」と友人、まぁまぁ大袈裟な話と思っていましたが、やけに熱く語っていたのが気になり一度乗船を試みるのですが、その年(コロナ禍前の2019年)は連日予約完売で乗船出来ずでした。次回ハワイに行く事ができれば、絶対にカタマラン号に乗る!と決意し、今回は航空券の予約とほぼ同時期に予約をしました。
2022年8月上旬予約当日、集合時刻にシェラトン前のビーチにある受付に行き
バウチャーで予約確認、その後、砂浜に乗り上げた形で留っている「カタマラン号」へ裸足で波打ち際を歩き船に砂を載せないよう注意深く乗船します。2人の頼もしい操船スタッフが手際よく出航させるのですが、船が砂浜から「すーっ」と離れ船が完全に海に「ふわー」と浮いた瞬間から非日常的な感覚とワクワク感が襲ってきます。これがハワイ通の友人が言っていた事なのかと納得。カタマラ号はビーチ付近のサーファー達に気を配りながらゆっくりと沖合へ進み、しばらくすると帆を上げスピードアップ、ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを今まで見ていた逆の目線、海からの景色に感動します。操船スタッフからドリンクが用意できていますとアナウンス、そして船上で家族で乾杯。青色の海、青色の空、ハワイの香り、潮風の音、アップテンポなBGM、帆がなびく音、それぞれが相まって私の語彙力では表現出来ない何とも言えない極上の時間です。
暫くするとイルカ達がカタマラン号と一緒に遊ぶ姿を見せてくれました。
太陽が水平線近づき、次第に船が沖合からビーチが近くになるのが残念に思えます。サンセット、日没と同時ぐらいにワイキキビーチへ戻りカタマラン号のクルーズは終わりとなります。次回またハワイに行く事が出来れば必ずカタマラン号に乗船します。
以上、小学生の作文の様な文章で申し訳ありません。
