All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

My first sailing experience.
The weather was perfect.
The staff was incredibly kind and strong!
I was able to experience something out of the ordinary, and it was a wonderful experience. I still don't have the courage to go alone on my next solo trip, but I definitely want to go again.
I think this is a highly recommended activity for a trip to Hawaii.
It was fun.
Thank you very much.

初めてのセーリング。
お天気は最高。
スタッフのお姉さんがめちゃくちゃ優しくたくましく❣️
非日常を体験できとても素晴らしい経験ができました。次回1人旅で一人で行く勇気がまだないのですが気持ち的にはまた行きたいです。
是非ハワイの旅にはお勧めのアクティビティだと思います。
楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。

I went on the Fireworks cruise last night and it did not disappoint. The catamaran was clean and tidy. The bar menu was full. The crew were fun and very helpful. A fabulous night was had and I would highly recommend it.

The sailing was canceled once due to strong winds, but I rebooked. The pink and white sail was very cute. The crew provided ample care, which was reassuring. There was plenty of time to dive from the boat, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Luckily, we also encountered turtles and dolphins. It felt wonderful to sail with the sails up. The sunset was beautiful and enjoyable as well.

一度強風のためキャンセルになり、再度申し込みました。
ビンクと白のとても可愛い帆でした。
クルーの方は充分なケアをして安心でした。
船からダイビングできる時間も充分あり、皆さん楽しそうでした。運良く亀やイルカにも会えました。帆を張って、走るヨットは、とても気持ち良かったです。
サンセットも美しく堪能できました。

The sunset cruise in Hawaii was beautiful, and the all-you-can-drink option is recommended for those who enjoy alcohol. There were quite a few waves, so we were worried about getting seasick and took motion sickness medication before participating. Thanks to that, we didn't experience any seasickness.

ハワイのサンセットクル-ズはきれいでしたし、飲み放題はお酒好きにはおすすめです。波が結構あったので私達は船酔いを心配して酔い止めの薬を飲んで参加しました。そのおかげか、船酔いはしませんでした。

The sunset was amazing. The only downside was that it set behind the mountains of Oahu instead of the ocean. It's understandable since it's June; I'll come back in August.

サンセットも見られて最高でした。ちょっと残念だったのが、サンセットは海ではなくオアフ島の山に沈んだことです。6月だからしょうがない、また8月に来ます。

It became my best memory in Hawaii! The location is absolutely amazing! The all-you-can-drink alcohol was great, and the Mai Tai was delicious! The only juice available was canned guava. There are restrooms, so you don't have to worry about drinking a lot! If you're prone to seasickness, you should be careful! You will get wet up to your shins when getting on and off the boat! When I used Google Maps to get to the reception, it directed me to a street behind, so be cautious about that.

ハワイで一番の思い出になりました！すごく最高なロケーションです！
アルコール飲み放題で、マイタイが美味しかったです！ジュースは缶のグァバしかなかったです。トイレあるのでたくさん飲んでも心配はないです！
船酔いしやすい方は気をつけたほうがいいです！
乗り降りで膝下までぬれます！
受付までGoogleナビで行ったら、1本裏を案内されたので気をつけてください。

I experienced my first sunset cruise in Hawaii. The waves were calm, and I could see the cityscape of Waikiki, Diamond Head, Kahala, and even Coco Head in the distance from the sea. The Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink and delicious! Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset because it was cloudy, but we were lucky to see a beautiful rainbow along the way. After getting off the boat, there was a shower nearby where I could wash my feet, and I was able to go straight to dinner. I definitely want to participate again next time I go.

初めてのハワイ、サンセットクルーズを体験しました。波も穏やかで、海からみるワイキキの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、カハラ、遠くにココヘッドも見えました。
マイタイは飲み放題、美味しかった！
残念ながら綺麗なサンセットは雲がかかり見れませんでしたが、途中、きれいな虹が見れてよかったです。
船を降りてからも、シャワーが近くにあり、足を洗うことができ、そのまま夕食に行けました。
今度行った時も是非参加したいです。

Summer Memories of 2023
A trip to Hawaii with my elderly parents and two grandchildren. We signed up for a boat tour as one of the attractions since it was close to our hotel. The view of Waikiki from the boat was exceptional. Along the way, the captain brought us to an area where we could see sea turtles and dolphins, which was so exciting. We also got to dive into the ocean from the boat. Finally, the captain allowed me to take the helm, and I was on cloud nine. I plan to try again in 2024.

2023夏の思い出
老夫婦2人と孫2人でハワイ旅行
観光の一つに乗船しました。HOTELから近かったので即申し込み
ました。船上からワイキキの景色はまた格別でした。
途中キャプテンがウミガメとイルカの回遊地域に船を寄せてもらい大はしゃぎまた，船上から海中へダイビング
最後にキャプテンから船の操縦許可いただき舵を取らせていただきテンションマックスでした。
2024年も再チャレンジします。

Last year, when I went to Hawaii, I saw it and wanted to try it this year, so I signed up. It was really cool and wonderful to see a woman at the helm. I participated with a friend, but my friend got seasick and regretted not taking motion sickness medication beforehand. Other than that, it was really fantastic. Thank you very much.

昨年ハワイに行った際に見かけて今年は乗ってみたいと申込みをしました。
女性が舵を取るのがとても格好良く素敵でした。
友人と参加しましたが、友人は船酔いをしてしまい酔い止めを飲んでおくんだったと後悔していました。
それ以外はとても素晴らしかったです。
ありがとうございました。

You can enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea, and the sunset was wonderful. The staff were experienced and had great conversations! There is a bar on board where you can enjoy beer and cocktails, and free snacks are also available!

The boat stops offshore at the beautiful Waikiki Beach, where you can see fish from the surface, allowing for snorkeling and jumping in the water! Free floatation devices are also available for rent!

Not only can you enjoy the sunset, but there are activities to enjoy during the time leading up to it, making this tour a great value for the price! The guide only spoke English, and there were no other Japanese people besides us, so I think some basic English for communication is essential.

Also, depending on the day, the wind can be strong, and the boat can sway quite a bit, so be cautious of seasickness. I'm not usually prone to it, but I felt a little queasy.

Overall, I highly recommend this tour!

ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを海から一望でき、夕陽も素晴らしかったです。スタッフのみなさんはベテランの方々でトークも面白かったです！
船内ではバーがあり、ビールやカクテルも楽しめました！無料のスナックもいただけます！
水面から魚が見えるほど綺麗なワイキキビーチの沖で船はとまるので、シュノーケルや飛び込んだり楽しめます！浮きポールも無料でレンタルできます！
サンセットだけではなく、サンセットまでの時間にアクティビティを楽しめるので料金の割に凄くお得なツアーだと思います！
案内は英語のみ、私たち以外に日本人はいなかったので、コミュニケーションがとれるくらいの英語は必須かなと思います。
あと日によって風が強く、すごく船が揺れるので船酔いには注意が必要です。私はあまり酔うタイプではないのですが、少し酔いました。
総じて本当におすすめのツアーです！

Very windy day but the crew did an excellent job getting people on and off. Ship was sparkling clean, drinks were so-so and most people were polite and fun to talk with. A wedding party of young people shared the cruise, all was good with the exception of one girl who felt she needed much attention. I'm surprised she didn't land in the water with he risky dancing/gyrating she performed on the front of the catamaran. If it were up to me, I would have asked her to settle down before she or someone else gets hurt.

Overall, a great cruise and would highly recommend this company - staff was outstanding!!!

This is my fifth time participating in the Mai Tai Catamaran sunset cruise, and I never get tired of it. Since it's a catamaran yacht, it doesn't heel, and enjoying the famous cocktails while watching the sunset is just the best. I plan to join again the next time I visit Hawaii.

マイタイカタマランのサンセットクルーズには5回目の参加ですが、何度参加しても飽きませんね。カタマランヨットなので艇がヒールする事も無く名物のカクテルを頂きながらのサンセットは最高ですね。また次回ハワイを訪れたら参加しようと思います。

The crew was great . Very welcoming , accommodating and friendly . The music was entertaining and the drinks were perfect ! The water became a little choppy , but the sunset view was still worthwhile and I'd definitely do this again sometime !

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

I had completed the check-in early, but when moving from the reception counter to the boat, I ended up towards the back. Once on board, there were no seats available! A few of us had no choice but to stand near the captain as we set sail. It would have been fine during the day, but standing on the deck in the darkness after sunset was unsettling... I thought I would never do that again.

After the fireworks, I was able to secure a vacant seat, and we had a great time singing "Can't Help Falling In Love" together while feeling a bit tipsy. In any case, I recommend not lagging behind when moving to the boat.

チェックインは早く済ませていたのですが、受付カウンターからボートに移動する際に後ろのほうになってしまい、乗船してみると既に座る場所なし！仕方なく数人はキャプテンの近くに立ったまま出航になりました。昼間ならよいのですが、陽が落ちた後の暗闇の中をデッキに立ったままのセイリングは不安定で・・・二度と御免だと思いました。
花火後は空席を確保できたので、いい感じに酔った皆で「Can't Help Falling In Love」を合唱するなど、楽しかったですが。とにかくボートへの移動時に遅れをとらないことをお勧めします。

My friends and I, had the best time on this cruise. It was the highlight of our entire Hawaii trip. The music, ambiance, and overall vibe was amaaaazing. It’s a must do!

This was so much fun! The staff was very friendly and knew how to keep the good times rolling. The drinks were delicious & the scenery was absolutely gorgeous! I cannot hype up this place enough, coming back home after my vacation I’ve been telling all my family & friends if they plan on going to Hawaii anytime soon, this is the sunset sail to book! I will definitely book again! :)

I have relied on Mai Tai Yacht many times before. It's easy to find since it departs from in front of the Sheraton, and above all, the boat is beautiful, clean, and "looks cool," which makes it one of my favorites.

Usually, on the afternoon of the day I arrive, I make it a tradition to feel "I've come to Hawaii!!" by greeting the full view of Waikiki and Hawaii's symbol, Diamond Head, from across the sea. However, watching the fireworks and the atmosphere of the night sea was "exceptionally wonderful!!!!" It became the most memorable event of this trip.

During the fireworks, cheerful music played, and everyone was excited, cheering loudly. After that, the boat slowly made its way towards Diamond Head, and the gentle night breeze felt pleasant on my skin. The dark silhouette of Diamond Head was overwhelmingly impressive, and the sparkling cityscape of Waikiki in the distance was beautiful. I was able to relax completely, filled with a sense of liberation.

Looking up at the night sky at that moment, I was able to do some stargazing and even saw the "Big Dipper," which was an emotional joy. The Mai Tai cocktail here was delicious, and I ordered several refills (the cups are cute too). The cocktail boy served them with a big smile, which is another happy memory.

Additionally, you can safely store flip-flops and personal belongings in the box behind the seat. I will definitely make a reservation again next time. Mahalo☆彡

マイタイヨットは、これまでに何度もお世話になっています。シェラトン前から出航するのでわかりやすいのと、何より船が綺麗で清潔で「見た目がカッコいい」のでお気に入りです。
普段は到着した日の午後いちに「ハワイに来た!!」を感じるべく、海の向こうからワイキキ全貌とハワイのシンボルダイヤモンドヘッドに挨拶をするのがお決まりなのですが、花火鑑賞と夜の海の雰囲気たるや「格別に素晴らしく！！！！」今回の旅行での一番の思い出に残るイベントになりました。
花火鑑賞中は陽気な音楽が流れて皆さんヒューヒュー言って大盛り上がりでした。
その後は、ダイヤモンドヘッド側へゆっくり長い時間をかけて船を走らせてくれるのですが、静かな夜風が肌に心地よく。真っ暗なダイヤモンドヘッドは圧倒的存在感で。遠くに見えるワイキキのキラキラした街並みもそれは美しく。もう開放感いっぱいに体中をリラックスすることが出来ました。
このとき夜空を見上げると星空観測もできて「北斗七星」も観ることが出来ました、この喜びは感動ものです。
こちらのマイタイカクテルが美味しくて♪何度もおかわりをしたのですが（カップも可愛い）カクテルボーイの方がずっと笑顔で提供してくれたのもそれも嬉しい思い出のひとつです。
なお、ビーサンや手荷物は背もたれの中のボックスに入れて置けるので安心です。
また次回も絶対予約します。マハロ☆彡

Really fun sunset sail. Free open bar with multiple drinks. Very fun sail into the wind/waves for a bit of excitement. Saw some whale spouts, beautiful calm return sail. Some fun music to keep the festivities lively. Not too crowded at all.
The meeting place was well described and the cruise was as expected. Would recommend and would also hope to return!

You take off your shoes and board the boat while getting a little wet from the sandy beach. There are benches that serve as shoe storage.

The marine toilet is equipped, but you can only use it for urination. Please pull the lever to flush.

Also, some splashes from the waves will come, so it might be tough to go to a fancy restaurant with those wet feet, but you don't need to wear a swimsuit.

A 5-year-old might be a bit scared, but children around the age of elementary school can enjoy it without fear. They serve drinks like gin, rum, and vodka mixed with Sprite, ginger ale, or orange-pineapple juice. Feel free to enjoy the all-you-can-drink option!

靴を脱いで砂浜からちょっとだけ濡れながら乗船します。ベンチが靴入れになっています。
マリントイレ装備ありますが、おしっこしかできません。レバーをシュコシュコしてあげてくださいね。
あとは適度に波飛沫も来ますのでその足で高級レストラン行くのは厳しいですが、水着である必要はありません。
5歳児は半べそでしたが小学校中学年くらいなら怖がらず楽しめます。お酒はジンラムウォッカなどをスプライトやジンジャエール、オレンジパイナップルジュースなどで割ってくれます。気軽に飲み放題してください。

Amazing trip and experience
Superb sea trip with a beautiful atmosphere and a splendid view

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Fireworks lasted for a decent amount of time. Boat ride was very bumpy, but it was also my first time on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect, also sat at the front of the boat, which probably didn't help.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but there was a wide variety of drinks, and I enjoyed the humorous announcements as well.

あいにくお天気よくなかったんですが、ドリンクも豊富でしたし、ユーモアたっぷりなアナウンスも楽しみました。

There were other ships participating, but this was my first time. I got the impression that it was a solid company, as I checked in at the counter of the cruise company located in the hotel and went over the liability waiver. The sunset finally began on the return trip, offering a different impression from the outbound journey. They mentioned unlimited drinks, but I didn't particularly like the taste of the free drinks and couldn't finish one. Beer and champagne are available for an additional charge. Occasionally, there were large waves, so the ship had its unique rocking motion. I saw someone who couldn't move due to seasickness, so I think it's better for those who are really sensitive to have motion sickness medication. In any case, I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a luxurious 90 minutes of doing nothing.

他の船での参加はありましたたが、こちらは初めて。ホテル内にある船会社のカウンターでチェックインを受け免責についてチェックをするなどしっかりした会社という印象。サンセットは復路からようやく始まり、往路とはまた違った印象が味わえます。飲み放題とのことですが、無料のドリンクの味はあまり好みではなく１杯飲みきれず、ビールやシャンパンは別料金です。時々大きな波がくるため船独特の揺れはあります。船酔いで動けなくなった方がいたので本当に弱い方は酔い止めがあったほうが良いと思います。とにかく９０分、何もしない贅沢な時間を味わいたい方におすすめです。

Always a great time. We’ve been twice with them. And they are just nice people

I usually don't take boats because I get seasick, but I've been coming to Hawaii for about 40 years. I've always watched the boats depart from the hotel, so I decided to challenge myself! I can hardly speak English, but I still felt really good about it. ⛵⛵⛵

酔うので船は乗ることがないのですが、HAWAIIに来始めて約40年。ホテルからいつも出港するのを見ていてせっかくなのでチャレンジ！私は殆ど英会話はできませんが、それでもとても気分が良かったです⛵⛵⛵

A really fun trip that is great for groups of friends and families. I went with both, including a child and we all had fun! Beautiful views all around and plenty of good photo ops. You won’t be wearing shoes and will be walking through water so make sure you are wearing clothes you don’t mind getting wet! If you get sea sick just stay shoreside until the party is over :).

This was my second time on the Mana Kai Catamaran. First time was doing the sea turtle snorkeling tour. It was fun being able to watch the sunset and see Diamond Head and the city from the ocean. The staff were very friendly and amazing. Was also fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the water! I definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

We enjoyed the sunset cruise even with a not great sunset (it was cloudy and little rainy). The crew was fun and we had fun getting to know the others on the boat with us. Definitely recommend this sunset cruise.

Our experience aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly kind staff. I was nervous having a toddler but everyone assured us our son was welcomed. They even had a place store our stroller.

One of the first things that struck us was how immaculately clean the boat was. It was evident that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities for the crew.

The ride itself was an absolute blast! Having never been on a catamaran, it did not disappoint! As we cruised along, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sunset casting its warm hues over the Honolulu skyline, with the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head in the background. We even got to anchor and jump into the ocean.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was how family-friendly it was. The crew went above and beyond to ensure my little one was comfortable even though he was crying. They were so incredibly nice!

Overall, our time aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was an absolute delight. We can't recommend it enough for families looking to create unforgettable memories in the stunning backdrop of Honolulu. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our experience so memorable!
