All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

We anchored offshore until sunset and dived from the boat. Participants jumped in one after another, boldly and without hesitation, doing flips and more. Both the bikini-clad ladies and the older gentlemen with floaties joined in. It felt like a party with lively music playing.

While there were many people who didn't dive, just watching was exciting and a lot of fun. My son, who is a good swimmer, mustered up the courage to do a commemorative dive.

There were no other Japanese people, but there were no feelings of discomfort or issues at all. As long as you fill out the application form diligently, you'll be fine. There's no obligation to purchase unnecessary drinks. The parking lot is hard to find. You can walk from Waikiki. If you want to snorkel, make sure to bring your own gear, as they mentioned there are no rentals available for sunset.

サンセットまでの時間沖合で停泊し、船上からダイブしまくり。
参加者は豪快に、躊躇なく、宙返りなどしながら次々飛び込んでいきます。ビキニのお姉さんも、フローティングをつけたおじさんも。ノリノリの音楽に合わせてパーティーみたいでした。
飛び込まない人も沢山いますが見ているだけでも楽しくて大興奮でとても楽しいです。水泳得意な息子も勇気を出して記念ダイブしました。
日本人は他にいませんでしたがたくに違和感も問題もなし。申込フォームさえ頑張れば大丈夫です。
不要なドリンク購入なども強制はありません。駐車場は見つけにくいです。ワイキキからなら歩いても行けます。シュノーケルしたかったら持参して。貸し出しはサンセットには無いとのことでした。

We took this vessel out to watch whales. The staff were awesome. Provided a lot of great information of life as a whale. The water was a bit choppy so there was a bit of rocking. After we disembarked, the Captain spent a good 10-15 minutes out of his busy schedule to talk with us.
I highly recommend the tour!

Everything about the cruise was great. The crew was super and a lot of fun. The drinks were great. We had a wonderful time.

Great staff. They made us feel safe and welcome. Provided a fun environment with information, jokes and help with photos.
Will come back and do it again.

I had a reservation for the last event of the season on April 15, 2024, but due to rain, the boat could not go out. I was contacted and given the option to reschedule for another day or receive a refund. Since I had some flexibility in my itinerary, I requested to reschedule for April 16 if possible, and they agreed to operate the boat on that day as well!

I wanted my 2-year-old son, who loves whales and dolphins, to see these natural creatures, so I rescheduled. On the day of the trip, it was sunny and we were able to set sail, and we saw both whales and dolphins, which was wonderful! The English guide provided thorough information, and it was an interesting experience!

However, be careful as the address for the meeting point provided in the voucher and on the website was incorrect. If you rely on the address, you will end up at the far end of the harbor. The correct meeting point is at Pink Sails Waikiki, which you can find by searching; it’s located just before the harbor, where you turn right at the first road (with hotels on your right and continuing straight past the boats on your left). If you are traveling with small children, it can be quite a hassle, so please be cautious!

今季最後の開催日である2024/4/15に予約をしていましたが、雨天で船が出せないことに。別日に振替か返金かを選べると連絡がありました。
旅程に余裕があったため、可能なら4/16に振り替えたいと連絡すると、予定になかった4/16も船を出してくれることに！
クジラとイルカが好きな2歳の息子に自然の生き物を見せたかったので、振り替えました。当日は無事に晴れて出航できたし、クジラもイルカも見られてとてもよかったです！
英語ガイドも丁寧な内容で、興味深い体験が出来ました！

ただ、バウチャーやべるとら上で事前に連絡されていた集合場所の住所が違っていたので要注意です。
住所を頼りに行くと、ハーバーの一番奥に到着してしまいます。正しい集合場所はピンクセイルズワイキキで検索して出てくる、ハーバーの1番手前の道を右に曲がったところ（右手にホテル郡、左に船を見て真っ直ぐ進んだ先）です。
小さいお子さん連れの場合、かなりの労力を浪費することになるのでご注意ください！

The best way to end our Mother Daughter vacation is with a sunset & fireworks on the water!
Three Tiki did a great job reassuring our experience even though the weather was not great. Captain Mark? did a great job sailing and keeping us safe and mostly dry! LOL
The crew was great from start to finish. Friendly and accommodating they provided a cooler and ice for our BYOB.
The location was easy to find and had a great staging area with food trucks and firepits that were great after our cruise.
Overall, very happy with our experience and will definitely refer others to enjoy a memorable evening with Three Tikis

From start to finish the staff was all engaging and professional. They worked through any language barriers and got everyone set up for the cruise. The size of the boat and number of people on board was just right, intimate but still lively and fun. There was plenty of room onboard to move around and never felt crowded. The views were gorgeous throughout. When the water got a little choppy, the back of the boat was still calm. Just a great time made better by the crew, would definitely go again.

There were only the two of us, a couple, among the Japanese people, and at first, we were quietly speaking English. The atmosphere was great from the beginning, and we started with a toast with Mai Tai. Before the sunset, we unexpectedly enjoyed whale watching, which made the experience even more exciting. The captain was very kind, allowing us to take photos together at the helm. During the final sunset, everyone got so carried away that they didn't care about anything else. Although I don't speak much English, a few people nearby reached out to us, and we were able to communicate and take pictures together, making it a very enjoyable time for both of us after a long while.

日本人は私たち夫婦の2人だけで、始めは英語が飛び交っておとなしくしていました。始めから雰囲気がよく、まずはマイタイで乾杯。サンセットの前に思いもよらないクジラウォッチングで、一段と盛り上がりました。写真も船長の操縦席で一緒に取らせてもらったりととても親切です。最後のサンセットのときは、盛り上がりすぎてみんなそんなのお構いなしでした。英語はあまり話せませんが、近くの何組かの人たちに声掛けしてもらい、コミニュケーションも取れ一緒に写メったりと久々に夫婦ともどもとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

If you are looking for something to do while visiting Waikiki, this is definitely an activity to book. Beautiful views, the staff was great, the music was awesome and the drinks were flowing!

We enjoyed the cruise very much very enjoyable nice weather

I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming alongside us for a long time. The whales were quite elusive, but we managed to spot one in the distance after continuing to move the boat. It seems that there are significant differences in sightings depending on the day.

Along with sunscreen, motion sickness medication is essential. When heading out to search for whales, the waves can be quite rough, and it can be pretty scary until you get used to it. There were even children who fell inside the boat. The guide was speaking in English and kept cracking quite a few dad jokes. I recommend this for those who aren't afraid of the ocean's swaying!

イルカの群れも並走し長く見ることができました。
鯨はなかなかあらわれずでしたが、
がんばって船を動かしつづけ最後遠くにですが、見ることができました。
日によって見れる時と見れない時の差がはげしいようです。

日焼け止めとともに、
酔い止めは必須です。鯨をさがし沖にむかいつきすすむときは揺れが激しく、
慣れるまではかなり怖いです。中で転んでいる子供もいました。
ガイドのお兄さんは英語ですが、かなりなオヤジギャグを連発でした。
海の揺れが怖くない！って方にはおすすめです。

This was my first time participating with my family of seven. It was easy to make a reservation on the day, the staff were very friendly, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a very enjoyable experience.

今回初めて家族7人で参加させていただきました。予約も当日、簡単に取れスタッフがとても親切で、天候にも恵まれ非常に楽しかったです。

I wasn't very confident participating because I don't understand English well, but the cruise while viewing the Diamond Head from the boat and the sunset scenery became a wonderful memory! The Mai Tai cocktail was also delicious! I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

英語があまりわからずで参加でしたので少し不安がありましたが、船から見るダイヤモンドベッドや、夕日が沈む景色を見ながらのクルーズは素敵な思い出になりました！カクテルのマイタイも美味しかった！ハワイに行った時はまた参加したいです！

Outstanding! A great crew, wonderful vibe and energy. We loved seeing the fireworks from the Catamaran. Would highly recommend!

My friends and i had a great time. staff was nice.

It can get very chilly.. be careful with the splash zone as well! Overall, the view was fantastic! We saw a full rainbow and everyone was all vibing together, enjoying the scenery. All of the members were very helpful and entertaining, they made sure everyone was having a great time. Drinks were pretty good, definitely hold onto your drinks, this booze cruise can get rocky!

Although the weather may impact your experience on this cruise, the crew doesn't let it get in the way of making it fun! The music blastic, if the rain is pouring they will make sure the boat feels the waves so that everyone can groove!

Everyone loved the ride and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu from way past the swimming point of the shore! The crew is entertaining and fun!

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

The scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. The Mai Tai was very delicious and since it was all-you-can-drink, I had quite a few. Everyone was cheerful and having a great time. When boarding, you enter the water a little, so shorter clothes might be better. Many people wore shorts. It felt a bit chilly, so I think it's good to have something to throw on. It was truly a wonderful time. I plan to use this again.

景色も雰囲気も最高でした。
マイタイがとても美味しく飲み放題なのでたくさん頂きました。
皆酔っぱらって陽気で楽しかったです。
乗船するとき海に少し入るので、短めの服がいいかも。
ショートパンツの方が多かったです。
肌寒く感じるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
本当に素敵な時間です。
また利用しようと思います。

The Friday sunset and firework cruise by Three Tiki Sailing was outstanding. The crew was fabulous and even took us to see some whales that were close by. There were plenty of great seats and lots of great picture opportunities. The crew was more than happy to take several selfies of my wife and I. I would highly recommend this tour.

The crew was so friendly and welcoming. My roommates and I went on our last day in Hawaii and it was definitely a highlight.

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした！
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高！パーティーも最高！クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました！

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます！ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです！

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました！
スタッフさん1名は少し日本語を話してくれます❤︎

There were only two of us participating from Japan. Everything was explained in fast-paced English, which I couldn't understand at all, but that was expected, so it wasn't a problem. I was satisfied to see the whale's tail from a distance a few times, which was also within my expectations. However, when snacks were being distributed, they didn't even acknowledge us, and when we were getting off, they kept looking at our hands, probably checking if we would leave a tip? I got off the boat feeling disappointed.

日本人の参加は私達2人だけでした。説明など全て早口の英語で全くわからなかったけど、想定内の事なので問題なし。クジラも遠くに尻尾が見える程度でこれも想定内でしたので､何度か見る事ができたので満足でした。ただ、スナックを配ばる際､私達2人には声もかけてもらえず、降りる時､ずっと手元を見られていて、チップ入れるか確認してたのかな？残念な思いで下船しました。

Great crew! We had prime view of the fireworks and Waikiki all lit up at night.

So much fun and energy! Thank you to the great crew!

We had an amazing time on this fireworks tour. It was a great experience and we even got to see some whales unexpectedly which made the whole thing even better. The crew members Annie and Mark were really nice and made it a memorable time for everyone. They were engaging with the guests on the boat and checked in on us throughout the trip. Definitely worth it if you’re in Hawaii and want something fun to do.

We have been to Hawaii several times and this was the first time we took the fireworks catamaran sail and it did not disappoint. The crew was FANTASTIC, drinks were great, music was fantastic, and seeing the fireworks and the Waikiki shoreline at night is beautiful. We had so much fun and would do it again!

The staff was very kind, and I felt safe on board. I was able to see a beautiful sunset, and I didn't experience any seasickness, which I was worried about. It was fun! The pineapple juice was also delicious. The location is amazing, and I highly recommend it! We even had the chance to dive and swim along the way, making for a truly enjoyable time! Thank you very much.

とても親切で、安心して乗れました。
綺麗なサンセットを見せていただき、心配していた船酔いもなく、楽しかった！
パイナップルジュースも美味しかったです。
最高のロケーション、お勧めです！
途中ダイビングできたり、泳いだりもできて、ほんとうに、楽しいひとときを過ごせました！
ありがとうございました。

When it comes to winter in Hawaii, whale watching is definitely a highlight! I participated in early February 2024.

I took an Uber from my hotel to the meeting point for the first morning tour. During this time of year, it can get a bit cool in the mornings and evenings, so having a light jacket was a good idea. Upon arriving at the meeting point right next to the Prince Hotel, I found many guests from the mainland USA already lined up. (It seemed there were few Asian guests.) After giving my name to a staff member in a PINK SAILS uniform, I completed the check-in process. Once the boat was ready, we were guided to board.

The interior of the boat is spacious, but seats at the front and on the upper deck are taken in the order of boarding. If you hesitate, you might miss out on a good seat, so I recommend getting in line early!

I was a bit anxious about seasickness, but the waves were calm on the day I participated. Since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking, and I could enjoy the pleasant sea breeze. We departed the harbor and moved a little off the coast of Waikiki. The boat stopped near Hilton's beach, and the whale watching began. Fortunately, during my tour, we spotted a mother and calf whale within just a few minutes, coming close enough to see them clearly. We maintained a respectful distance to avoid stressing the whales, allowing us to observe their fins and spouts for a while.

The onboard guide spoke entirely in English, providing detailed explanations about whale behavior, including parenting methods, as well as the direction of where to look for the whales. While good listening skills in English are necessary, there were many interesting stories that were very informative. The guide also indicated the direction of the whales (like 11 o'clock or 3 o'clock), and all the guests from the mainland were looking in the same direction. Even if someone missed the English explanation, they could follow the gaze of the other guests to spot the whales!

However, since the color of the whales' backs can blend in with the ocean, it might be difficult to see them from a distance. If you're prepared, bringing binoculars could help you see better.

After enjoying the whale watching, a pod of dolphins appeared in the distance. While they didn't jump high, they surfaced and showed their fins, and compared to the whales, the dolphins were more playful and adorable, which was a delightful surprise. Just when I thought I was already satisfied with the whales, the excitement continued! A white woman sitting next to me kept exclaiming "Oh my god" in delight, and the little children were also visibly thrilled.

Seeing such precious wildlife off the coast of Waikiki, surrounded by tall buildings, truly showcases the unique beauty of Hawaii's nature. It seems there are days when you might not see anything depending on the wave conditions and the whales' mood, so I feel incredibly grateful for my good fortune.

I'm really glad I participated. Thank you to all the staff!

冬のハワイの風物詩といえば、やっぱりホエールウォッチングですね！2024年2月初旬に参加しました。

朝一番の回、ホテルからUberで集合場所まで移動。この時期のハワイは朝晩少し涼しくなりますので、薄手の上着があって良かったです。プリンスホテル真横の集合場所に到着すると、既にたくさんの米国本土のお客様が並んでいました。（アジア系のゲストは少ない様子でした。）
PINK SAILSさんの制服を着たスタッフさんに名前を伝えればチェックイン完了です。船の準備が整ったところで乗船の案内をいただきました。
船内は広々していますが、前の席や上のデッキ等は乗船した順で取られていきます。遠慮していると良い席に座れなくなりますので、早めに列に並んでおくのがお勧めです。！

船酔いしないか少しヒヤヒヤしていましたが、私が参加した日は波も穏やか。カタマラン船なので船の揺れも少なく、気持ち良い潮風を感じることもできました。港を出発しワイキキ沖を少し進みます。ヒルトンのビーチが見える辺りで船が止まり、クジラ探しがスタート。私の参加回は強運なことに数分の創作でクジラの親子が見つかり、ギリギリ見えるくらいの距離まで接近してくれました。親子のストレスにならないようにボートとクジラの距離を保ちながら、しばらくクジラの背びれや潮吹きの様子を見ることができました。

船内のガイドは全て英語ですが、クジラの見える方向に加えて子育ての仕方などもクジラの生態も丁寧に説明してくれます。英語のリスニング力が必要ですが、興味深い話も多く、大変参考になりました。
またクジラが見える場所については、何時の方向（11時の方向、3時の方向等）で教えてくれますし、一緒に乗っているアメリカ本土のお客さんが全員同じ方向を向いてくれます。英語ガイドを聞き逃した人も、周りのお客さんに合わせて視線を向ければ、クジラの姿に気がつくはず…です！

なお、クジラの背中と海の色が似ているため、なかなか遠くからは見えづらい場合もあると思います。準備ができる方は望遠鏡などを持っていくとよく見えるかもしれません。

一通りクジラウォッチングを楽しんだ後、遠くにイルカの群れが現れてました。大きなジャンプこそなかったですが、鼻を出してくれたり、背びれを見せてくれたり、クジラに比べてアグレッシブでかわいいイルカたちも見られ感動でした。クジラだけでも大満足だったところに嬉しいサプライズ！横に乗っていた白人女性の方は嬉しさのあまり「Oh my god」と言い続け、小さなお子さんたちも大喜びの様子でした。

ビルが立ち並ぶワイキキ沖でこんなに貴重な野生動物が見られるなんて、ハワイの大自然は唯一無二ですね。
波の状況やクジラの気分によっては見られない日もあるようなので、自身の強運には驚きと感謝ばかり。

参加でき本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました！

The fireworks viewing was wonderful, but it was disappointing that the catamaran was mostly docked and not cruising. It was also disappointing that the crew was mostly talking with acquaintances.

花火鑑賞は、素晴らしかったですが、
カタマラン船は、ほぼ停泊していて、クルーズではなくて残念でした、
乗組員も知り合いと話してばかりいて残念でした、
