All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I didn't see any whales, but the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was very beautiful! I accepted that it was just a matter of luck, but I still enjoyed the cruising experience. It was really bumpy, so I definitely recommend bringing motion sickness medication from Japan.

くじらは見られませんでしたが、海の上から見るワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗でした！
こればっかりは運なので仕方がない、と諦めましたがクルージングだけでも充分楽しめました。すごく揺れたので酔い止めは日本から持って行ったほうが絶対にいいと思います。

I participated at the end of the year. I took motion sickness medication, but the boat was very slow, and it was tough until we returned to land. I couldn't see any whales, but later I heard that it's quite rare to see them around Oahu. Even if you do see them, they are said to be very far away. I think it would be better to participate in Maui or similar locations.

年末に参加しました。
酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが、船がとてもゆっくりで陸に戻るまで辛かったです。
クジラも見る事ができなかったのですが、後で聞くとオアフで見られるのはかなり希なようですね。
見る事ができてもとても遠いとの事でした。
マウイ島などで参加されるのがよいと思います。

The whole experience was relaxing and Nice.It was quite windy .
One complimentary drink was provided .

Beautiful sunset
A nice ride on the water
Guys were so awesome and accommodating made sure it was a great experience for everyone

We had a great time. We saw dolphins, turtles, and a mom and baby humpback whale. The baby was breaching over and over; incredible to watch! The crew was funny and informative and helpful. It was a really enjoyable experience!

The breeze was pleasant, and it was a very enjoyable cruise! The captain spotted a whale and chased after it several times. From a distance, we could see the spray and the tail!
At one point, the boat stopped, and those who wanted to swim went into the water. We didn't swim because we thought it might get cold after getting out of the sea.
Indeed, during this time of year, it gets chilly after sunset. I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket.
Also, the night view of Waikiki was very beautiful!
I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

風が気持ち良く、とても楽しいクルーズでした！キャプテンがくじらを発見し、何度も追いかけてくれました。遠くからですが、しぶきと尾ひれが見えました！
途中で船を停めてくれて、海に入りたい人は泳いでいました。私たちは海から出た後、寒くなりそうだったので、泳ぎませんでした。
やはり、この時期は、日が沈んでからは、肌寒くなってきました。長袖の上着を持ってきていて良かったと思いました。
そして、ワイキキの夜景がとても綺麗でした！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery without any waves. Next time, I will sign up for a Japanese tour!

クジラが見れなかったのが残念でしたでも波もなく素晴らしい景色堪能しました☺️次回は日本語ツアー申込します❗

I was wondering if I would be able to see anything in December, but I boarded the boat with a little hope. The cheerful and polite staff welcomed us warmly. Despite the strong sea breeze, they called out to each group of passengers and took photos one after another. I got to see the whale I had been longing for and the spouting water. I am grateful to the staff who anchored the boat in the sea and waited patiently. The vast blue ocean stretched out as far as the eye could see. I hope to ride this boat again someday for whale watching. By then, I’m sure I’ll be able to meet the whales…

12月ではまだ見れないかな？と思いながら、少しだけ期待もして搭乗した船。
陽気で丁寧な応対のお兄さん達。
強い海風に煽られながらも、グループ毎の乗客に声をかけて、次々に写真を撮ってくれた。
会いたかったくじら。見たかった汐吹。
海上で船を停泊させて粘ってくれた、お兄さん達に、感謝。青い大海原がずっと先まで見渡せた。
いつかまたフォーエルウォッチングをしにこの船に乗ろう。その時は、きっと、くじらに合えるように…

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

With anticipation, I set sail, feeling the pleasant breeze and gazing at the coastline of Waikiki Beach. However, as time went by, my feelings became complicated with disappointment and sadness about not being able to see much. But when the boat finally reached the point where dolphins gather, everyone started taking pictures, and somehow that helped distract me a little.

As for my thoughts, I felt that we needed to go a bit further out to see more. Also, since the boat rocked quite a bit, I thought medication would be necessary.

期待を持ちながら、出航し気持ちいい風を感じながら、ワイキキビーチの海岸を眺め、海を見つめていましたが、時間がどんどん経つにつれ、段々見れないことに気持ちが、落ち込むことと、残念に思うことに複雑になってきましたが、最後イルカの集まるポイント！？に船が着くとみんな写真をパシャパシャと、何となくそれで少し、気がまぎれたようなかんじになりました！？
感想としては、もう少し沖に出ないと、見れるものも見れないのではと思った。
また、船が、だいぶ揺れるので、薬は必要と思った。

The tour was conducted only in English, but even for us, who hardly speak any English, we managed just fine. It's not guaranteed that you'll definitely see whales, but they extended the time by about an hour beyond the scheduled time, and we were able to see them. I was really happy that they were so flexible.

Even though I had seen Waikiki from the ocean on TV, the actual scenery was amazing. Even if we hadn't seen any whales, it was a tour that left us completely satisfied! If I come to Hawaii during the whale watching season again, I will definitely want to join this tour.

ツアー自体は英語のみの案内なのですが、英語がほとんどできない私達でもなんとかなりました。
クジラは必ず見えるとはもちろん確定されていません。ただ、予定していた時刻より1h時間ほど延長してくださり無事に見ることができました。ここまで融通を効かせてくださることも本当に嬉しかったですし
沖から見るワイキキはテレビで見たことがあっても実際の風景は素晴らしく、仮にクジラが見えなかったとしても十分満足ができるツアーでした！
またホエールウォッチングができる時期にハワイに来たら必ず参加したいツアーです。

Such a great experience!
Crew was great and made the whale watching excursion wonderful.

My friends and I had a blast on the Ke Kai Waikiki sunset cocktail cruise, and seriously can't wait till we can go again!

The boat's brand spanking new and seriously comfy, and the drinks? Tasty and on tap! Props to the crew for keeping the glasses full and snapping awesome pics. Heads up, though, the nets mean splashes if you're cruising to Diamond Head. I got totally soaked, but it was part of the fun!

Sunset views? 10/10. Oh, and don't forget to wear sandals or flip-flops since you have to take off your shoes and walk through water to get on board the boat :)

Hella chill vibe, perfect sunset, and a splashy adventure, and I totally recommend it!

Everything was great. The hosts of the boat were all very personable and very friendly with a good sense of humor! Their mai tais were GREAT, I don't care for mai tais because of the dark rum but they do theirs differently and i loved their drinks. Very calming, good music and great drinks. I would definitely do this again

The fireworks at the Hilton on Friday lasted about 10 minutes. The Mai Tai cruise offered unlimited cocktails, and I had three cocktails, but they made them without a hint of annoyance. The night view was great, and since it was the end of the year, it was a bit cold, so you might need long sleeves.

金曜日ヒルトンの花火は10分くらいで終わりました。マイタイ号はカクテル等飲み放題でわたくしはカクテル3杯飲みましたが、嫌な顔ひとつせず作ってくれました。
夜景がいいのはもちろん年末だったので、少し寒いので、長袖は要るかも。

On the day, we were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best sunset! The boat was very clean, and it had a restroom, which was reassuring.

当日、良い天気に恵まれ、最高のサンセットを見ることができました！
船はとっても綺麗で、トイレもあるので安心です。

this was the best 1st day in waikiki activity you can do .
the crew were fantastic and very entertaining . my daughter said she has a new dad called Amos ! he was charming
thank you again for a wonderful afternoon.
highly recommend .

I have been on large ships for dinner cruises, but I rarely have the opportunity to ride on a sailboat or a yacht with an outboard motor. This time, I got to experience a catamaran, and it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time on one, and I had a wonderful time. Everyone stayed on deck, feeling the wind, and unlike large ships, we were often rocked by the waves, which made it feel like we were really out at sea. Although it was unfortunate that there were many clouds and I couldn't enjoy the sunset, the view of Diamond Head and the illuminated Waikiki hotels from the sea was beautiful. I was also surprised by the restroom on the boat. Be careful not to drink too many Mai Tais, as you might get seasick. We departed from the beach, but the meeting point is somewhat difficult to find for those not staying at the Halekulani or Sheraton, so it's better to scout the location in advance. It's an activity that makes you feel like you're in paradise.

ディナークルーズなどで大型船に乗る事はあったが、セールと船外機つきヨットに乗せてもらう機会は滅多になく、カタマランという形式で、こりゃもうタマラン！今回初めての乗りでとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。皆様ずっと甲板にいて、風に吹かれ大型船と異なり波に揺らされる事も多いので、海に出ているという実感を味わえます。雲が多くて残念ながら夕陽を浴びる事はなかったものの、海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキホテル群のイルミも又美しい。又、船に備え付けられているトイレにはビックリしました。マイタイの飲み過ぎには注意、酔ってマイッタします。ビーチからの出帆ですが、ハレクラニやシェラトン宿泊者以外はやや分かり難い場所が待ち合わせなので、事前に下見しておいてベター。マタイキタイと思わせしめるアクティビティだ。

It was truly amazing. The convenience was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Everyone was super excited. It seems that if you're lucky, you can see whales. I enjoyed unlimited drinks and got quite tipsy!

本当に最高でした
手軽さも良いし雰囲気も最高で
みんなテンション爆上がり
運が良いとクジラ見れるみたいです
飲み放題で沢山飲んで酔えました！

I don't understand Japanese at all, but it was a fun cruise. We go quite far offshore. It's great that drinks are free. Since we go further offshore than I expected, the waves might be a bit concerning, so those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication before boarding.

日本語は全く通じませんが、楽しいクルーズでした。けっこう沖合までいきます。飲み物がフリーなのはありがたいです。思ったより沖合にいくためか、少し波が気になりますので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んで乗船した方が良いかもしれません。

The team at Waikiki Sailing were a well-oiled sailing machine! The directions provided in the confirmation email were clear and easy to follow. Check in was smooth and the beach boarding only splashed us up to our shins. We decided to sit on the catamaran netting on a particularly windy day and were warned about getting splashed multiple times. We endured the soaking and had an amazing time, plus the crew helped grab our empties and snacks so we could continue to enjoy. I recommend Waikiki Sailing 10,000 times over!

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。
ヒルトン宿泊でしたが集合場所が、少し迷ってしまい珍道中でしたがそれも楽しかったです♪

According to the captain, if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We were in Honolulu the day before, and a whale appeared, which heightened our spirits and allowed us to have an unexpectedly wonderful time.

キャプテンによると、運が良ければイルカが見れるとのこと。私たちはホノルル前日であったが、クジラがあらわれ、機運が高まったことから予想以上に素晴らしい時間を過ごせた。

The crew was awesome happy and nice. The boat was kept very clean and really comfortable. We did hope they would have wine but was not needed to enjoy the beautiful views.

I had a wonderful experience on the booze cruise.
The staff were approachable, friendly, and respectful.
The music was fire. The playlist included a mix of old and new music across genres. One staff member was HILARIOUS! I danced, laughed, had three drinks, and enjoyed the beautiful sunset. Definitely something I’d enjoy doing again.

The staff is cheerful and kindly makes your experience enjoyable! The view of Honolulu's skyline and the sunset from offshore is beautiful and wonderful. We sail close to Diamond Head.

スタッフは陽気で親切に楽しましてくれます！とにかく沖合のから見るホノルルの街並みや夕陽の景色が美しく素晴らしいです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの近くまで航行します。

This was an amazing sunset booze cruise that my wife and I did. Three staff was outstanding, had us smiling and laughing all cruise. Thank you.

It was a fun trip. The employees, other than Justin, could have been a tad friendlier but overall a fun trip.

On this sailing trip, you can see breathtaking views that are unlike anything you've seen before, almost like a movie set, from the boat!

The view of Waikiki Beach from the sea is exceptional, and watching the sun set over Waikiki and Diamond Head is simply wonderful.

The beautiful scenery of the sun gradually sinking into the ocean will undoubtedly become one of your unforgettable memories in Hawaii.

Happy sailing!

このセーリングでは　他で見たこともない雄大でまるで映画のセットのような美しい光景をボートから見ることができます!

海から見るワイキキビーチも格別で　夕日に沈むワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。

海の中に太陽が徐々に沈んでいく美しい景色は　ハワイでの忘れられない思い出の一つになることは間違いないです。

ハッピー　セーリング〜

I love the ocean in Hawaii, but since I'm with my elderly parents, I won't be swimming during our stay. I wanted to experience the feeling of being in a resort, so I participated in this activity. It's refreshing to see Waikiki from the sea, which I usually walk through. Since I participated on the day of arrival, spending a leisurely time on the boat felt like a luxurious experience. Although Japanese is not spoken, it was a time where communication wasn't necessary, so there were no inconveniences.

ハワイの海は好きですが、高齢の親と一緒なので滞在中は泳ぎません。
せっかくリゾート地に来た感覚を味わいたくて参加しました。
いつも歩いているワイキキを海から見られるのは新鮮な感じです。
到着日に参加ということもあり、
船でのんびりとゆったりと過ごせるのは贅沢な時間です。
日本語は通じませんが、特に会話しなくても問題ない時間でしたので、不都合も無かったっです。
