All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Nothing negative to say. Small sailing boat with less people. That was good because it was not crowded. Crew was funny & helpful. You can bring your own drinks and snacks.
It was a nice and relaxing trip.

On the last day of my trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise. The ride was relatively calm with little rocking. Since I had dinner planned afterward, I joined in a regular long dress, and while there was a bit of splashing, I didn't get too wet. However, when boarding the boat, my feet got wet, so it's better to avoid wearing pants. Once on board, the explanations were in English, and I couldn't understand much, but it wasn't a problem at all. The sunset was beautiful, but what followed was magical and wonderful, making it worth participating. I had previously been on a daytime cruise, but I definitely recommend the sunset cruise!

ハワイ旅行最後の日に、サンセットクルーズ参加しました。揺れも少なく、比較的穏やかなクルーズでした。その後、ディナーを予定してましたので、普通のロングワンピースで参加しましたが、少し水しぶきがかかるくらいで、たくさん濡れることもありませんでした。ただ、船に乗り込む時は、足が濡れるので、パンツとかは避けたほうがいいです。乗船後は英語での説明で、何言ってるかさっぱりでしたが笑。特に困ることはないです。夕日が沈むとこもキレイですが、その後が幻想的で素晴らしく、参加して良かったです。以前に昼間のクルーズも乗りましたが、絶対サンセットクルーズがお勧めです。

Great crew & cocktails! My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time, great experience and beautiful evening. Thank you!

This is my third time on the boat, and I really recommend it. This time, I was worried about the high waves because it was a windy day, but the wind felt nice, and out at sea, they turned off the engine and used only the sails, allowing us to enjoy the calm environment with the ocean and Diamond Head.

There were not many Japanese people, and it was fun to see everyone having a great time. I highly recommend the Mai Tai!

3回目の乗船ですが、ほんとにおすすめです。今回は風が強い日だったので波が高いのが心配でしたが、風が気持ちよく、沖ではエンジンを切って帆だけにしたので、静かな環境で海とダイヤモンドヘッドを楽しめました。
日本人が少なく、盛り上がって楽しんでいる人を見ているのも楽しかったです。
マイタイ、おすすめです。

This experience was beyond my expectations! We came to Hawaii to celebrate my husband’s birthday and out of all the things we did, this was his favorite activity. The music was on point, everyone was super welcoming and the crew was amazing which made the experience even better!!! This is a most if you come to Oahu!!!!

The rainbow and sunset were beautiful.
It was a shame that there wasn't a good spot available for the sunset photo opportunity.
It would be nice if there were better timing for changing locations.

虹と夕日は綺麗だった。
夕日のシャッターチャンスに、良い場所が空かなくて残念だった。
場所替えのタイミングがあると良い。

I got in trouble for jumping at the height of the waves while holding the rail (understandably), so don’t do that, but it was an awesome adventure! Would gladly go again, but without jumping this time.

It was a good time on water looking at Waikiki beach and the Diamond Head. The best time for its price!!
The crew was friendly and beer option was good.

I recently had the pleasure of joining the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the breathtaking views of Diamond Head and Waikiki to the stunning Hawaiian sunset, every moment on this cruise was filled with awe and wonder.

The highlight of the cruise was undoubtedly the views. As we set sail, the magnificent Diamond Head loomed in the distance, creating a picturesque backdrop for the entire journey. The vibrant hues of the setting sun cast a magical glow over the Waikiki shoreline, creating a truly mesmerizing spectacle. It was a sight that I will forever cherish and one that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Honolulu.

The crew on board the boat were nothing short of amazing. They were not only knowledgeable about the area but also extremely friendly and accommodating. They made every effort to ensure that everyone on board had a memorable experience. Whether it was answering questions about the local landmarks or simply engaging in light-hearted banter, the crew went above and beyond to create a warm and enjoyable atmosphere.

Of course, no booze cruise would be complete without the drinks, and the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise did not disappoint. From tropical cocktails to beers, there was something for everyone. The bartenders were skilled and quick, ensuring that no one had an empty glass for long. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind while taking in the stunning views.

In conclusion, my experience with the Waikiki Sunset Booze Cruise was nothing short of phenomenal. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were breathtaking, the Hawaiian sunset was simply beautiful, and the crew was awesome. The endless supply of drinks added an extra touch of enjoyment to an already incredible journey. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable experience in Honolulu.

My husband and I loved the BYOB Sunset Cruise. The crew was expert and helpful. They took pictures of couples and families if you asked and generally made everything fun and casual. I had never been on a catamaran before and I felt perfectly comfortable.It's a small craft, so you will get wet, but not soaking (unless you opt to ride on the webbing up front). Memories for a lifetime!

Crew was super friendly, awesome experience! View was beautiful and ride was fun. Crew also made sure our drinks stayed full!

I enjoyed myself and the crew was great. I would definitely do it again. Just wish it was longer than the hour. It went by too quick!

Five years ago, my family of three saw a pink sail catamaran yacht from a dinner cruise for the first time and decided that we would definitely take a ride the next time we came to Waikiki. However, it was postponed due to COVID-19. Now that my son's job hunting is over, we went on a trip just the two of us! It was an amazing experience. I want to share the beauty of the sunset cruise with more people in Japan. The jumping in was also fantastic. Thank you to the captain, the crew, and all the participants.

五年前、家族3人で初めてディナークルーズ船からピンクセールのカタマランヨットを見て次回、ワイキキに来たら必ず乗船すると、決めてましたが、コロナで伸び伸びになってましたが、息子の就活が終わって2人旅！
最高の体験が出来ました。もっと日本の皆にサンセットクルーズの良さを伝えたいです。
飛び込みも最高でした。キャプテン、クルーの皆んな、参加者の皆様ありがとうございました。

I recommend this experience because you can enjoy a sunset while cruising easily. Beer and Mai Tais are all-you-can-drink. However, there were no snacks available. There is also a restroom on board.

On the same catamaran, depending on the company, you may not be able to sit on the net at the front, but with Holokai Catamaran, you can. However, if you sit on the net, you will get wet, so wearing a swimsuit and bringing a towel is essential. The kids especially enjoy it, but one child ended up shivering from being soaked at the end. If you don’t sit on the net or at the front, you won’t get wet.

Most of the staff do not speak Japanese. You need to fill out a consent form for everyone in advance online, but you can also do it at the reception on the day. However, it’s better to complete it online.

お手軽にクルージングしながらサンセットが見られるのでお勧めです。ビールやマイタイ等は飲み放題です。つまみになるスナック類等はありませんでした。トイレも付いてます。
同じカタマランでも会社によっては前方のネットに乗ることが出来ませんが、ホロカイカタマランは乗ることができます。ただしネットに乗ると濡れますので水着着用＆タオル持参は必須です。子供達は特に喜びますが、ズブ濡れになった子供が最後は寒くなって震えてました。ネット＆前方に乗らなければ濡れなかったです。
ほとんど日本語は通じません。事前にネットで全員の同意書の記入が必要ですが当日受付でも出来ます。ただしネットで済ました方が良いです。

I had seen several boats from the beach beforehand, so I knew their size, but I was most concerned about getting seasick from the rocking. However, that worry was completely unfounded.

The boat moved swiftly, cutting through the waves, and while it bounced up and down, it felt more like an attraction than anything that would make me feel sick.

We ventured far out to search for dolphins (which, if you're lucky, can be seen from the boat), and with unlimited drinks like Mai Tais, we could enjoy our beverages while on board. The staff were very attentive, checking in when our drinks were running low and skillfully maneuvering the boat, providing a comfortable service.

We headed back to shore a bit early, and my husband and I remarked how it was still bright even though it was sunset. However, we stayed on the water until the sun had fully set and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. I joined the tour on the same day spontaneously, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. It became a wonderful memory before returning home!

ビーチから事前に船を何隻か見ていたので、大きさは分かっておりましたが、一番気になっていた揺れる＝酔うのではないかと思っておりましたが、全くの杞憂でした。
勢いよく走り船は波を横切りざぶんざぶんと上下になりますが、アトラクションのような揺れで酔うことはなかったです。

ぐんと沖に出てイルカ探索をしたり（ラッキーだと船上から見えるそうです）、マイタイなど飲み放題でしたのでアルコールを楽しみながら船を楽しめます。スタッフの方は大変きびきび行動されており、飲み物がなくなりそうになると声をかけてくれたり、船を操縦したりと、居心地の良いサービスでした。

結構早めに岸に向かったので夫とはサンセットなのにまだ明るいね…と話していたら、しっかり陽が傾くまで海上におり美しいサンセットを楽しめました。ツアーは急遽当日参加をしましたが、本当に予約して良かったです。
帰国前の素敵な記念になりました！

I participated with my mother.

We considered a sunset cruise on a large ship, but choosing this one was the right decision. The sense of distance and immersion with the sea and scenery is completely different.

I ordered drinks at the bar in my broken English, but the staff girl was very pleasant and accommodating.

Just one thing to note: be careful with the restroom. You can't flush the paper, so make sure not to accidentally put it in the toilet.

母と2人で参加しました。

大きな船でのサンセットクルーズも考えましたが、こちらにして正解でした。
海や景色との距離感、臨場感が全く違います。

拙い英語でバーでの飲み物を注文したのですが、スタッフの女の子が感じよく対応してくれました。

一つだけ、おトイレに注意です。
紙は流せませんのでうっかり便器に入れてしまわないように。

The staff were so kind and fun. The drinks are endless, there’s a bathroom on board and the boat is quite large.

We were the only Japanese people there. It was helpful to have notes in Japanese. The fireworks were also perfectly visible, which was great. I want to go again.

日本人は、私たちだけでした。日本語の注意事項もあり助かりました。花火もバッチリ見えてよかったです。また行きたいです。

Best place to see fireworks and have a little party too lol

We had an amazing time, enjoyed the view but the staff was more than welcoming!! We really enjoyed the views and the laughs you won’t regret it! The whole family enjoyed it!

Great sunset sail & swim. Was BYOB and had a good crew. 10/10 would recommend if you’re downtown and want to good time.

Our last night in Waikiki and we enjoyed every moment!! Fun and awesome experience!! There were 23 people in our group ages between 3 and 70, mom had a fantastic time!!! Would highly recommend!!

Mahalo and a hui hou

I imagined it would be an adult cruise since it felt like a drinking atmosphere, but there were many families and children, and it was quite noisy with kids running around. The fireworks and night view were wonderful, though...

お酒を飲む感じなので、大人のクルーズを想像していましたが、家族連れ、子供連れの方が多く、子供が走りまわり騒がしい感じでした。
花火も夜景も素敵でしたが。。。

Great Team ( really!) great moment… great cocktail ( no cheap drink) nice people. Very good experience .

After passing by the pool bar at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, we arrived at the check-in area. After signing some documents, we boarded the boat right in front of the beach.

Once we set sail, we were immediately served Mai Tais and enjoyed cruising while taking in the night view. We watched fireworks in front of the Hilton Hotel! The view of the fireworks from the sea was fantastic as we could see the entire display!

After the fireworks, we cruised for a while, admiring the beautiful night view of the hotels. I went with my mother, who is in her 80s, and we had a great time without any rocking.

It was mid-July, but it was surprisingly chilly on the water during the fireworks, so having something to wrap around you would be nice. After the tour, we disembarked on the beach, so our feet were covered in sand, but there was no place to wash them off.

Since it was an English tour, we were the only Japanese people there. I can't speak English, but it was no problem at all, and we had a wonderful time!

シェラトンワイキキホテルのプールバー横を抜けると、チェックイン場所に到着。書類にサインした後、目の前の浜辺から上船します。
出航したら、すぐ、マイタイが配られ、夜景を楽しみながらクルージング。そして、ヒルトンホテル前で花火鑑賞！海から眺める花火は、全体が見えてとても素敵！
花火後は、華やかな夜景のホテル群を眺めながら、しばらくクルージング。
８０代の母と乗りましたが、揺れもなく楽しめました。
７月中旬でしたが、花火の時間帯の海上は意外と肌寒いので、羽織るものがあるといいですね。
ツアーが終わると浜辺に降りるので、足は砂だらけですが、洗う場所はありません。
英語ツアーだったせいか、日本人は私達だけ。英語はできないけど、全く問題なく、素敵な時間を過ごせました！

The crew were both helpful and entertaining. Would definitely go out on this trip again.

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was a wonderful sunset cruise like I have never seen before. There were hardly any Japanese people, mostly folks from the mainland, but everyone, regardless of age, was excited, drinking, dancing, and swimming. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

私が何度もハワイへ行ってますが、今までに見た事のない、素晴らしいサンセットクルーズでした。日本人がほとんどおらず、メインランドの方々でしたが、年齢問わずみんな盛り上がり、飲んで踊って、泳いでととても楽しい2時間でした。

Drinks were delicious, sun was shining and the views were great!

10/10 recommend! Had so much fun, the staff was super friendly, fun & professional!

It was the perfect welcome activity for the family! The cruise was relaxing, the crew very friendly. It rained very briefly which was ok because it gave us a beautiful rainbow. We loved the magical sunset colours.

The pick up point was very accessible, right on Waikiki beach which is just walking distance from our hotel (and most hotels). Prepare to get your feet and/or legs wet when boarding and getting off but it was part of the experience! The price is also reasonable and allows you to bring drinks of your choice.

Would do it again if we’re back.
