All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

It was really fun to be together with a small group, laughing and chatting. Maybe it was even better because we were all Japanese!

少人数で皆んな一緒にワイワイ、ガヤガヤ、ゲラゲラ、本当に楽しかったです。日本人だけが良かったのかも！

I’m not a big boat person, but I’m so glad my friends convinced me to come out with them! The staff is amazing. My friends & I showed up past the check-in time, but they were nice enough to wait for us! As your sailing out, the view is GREAT... So take lotssss of pictures! Definitely recommend this cruise!

My family and I had an amazing time on this cruise. We had a group of about 20 people and they were very accommodating to all of us. Our boat was a little rockey but that just made it that much more exciting! I would definitely go on this boat again!

Our family of 5 did the the Friday Fireworks sail last Friday and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were great fun and the cocktails were lovely and plentiful. Would definitely recommend for all ages.

This is my second time participating. I want to ride the Mai Tai Catamaran as many times as possible. When I rode it about five or six years ago, there were mostly foreigners and only us Japanese, but this time about half of the participants were Japanese... it's increasing! The sunset from the sea, Diamond Head, the Waikiki skyline, and if you're lucky, a rainbow! It was raining on and off during the day, but by the departure time, it cleared up and everything was wonderful. The staff's way of getting everyone excited was also great, making it a memorable tour. The catamaran is the best!!!

二回目の参加です。何回でも乗りたいマイタイ・カタマラン号。５、６年前に乗った時はほぼ外国人で日本人は私たちだけでしたが、今回は半分くらいが日本人・・・増えてきましたね。海からのサンセットとダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキのビル群そして、運が良ければレインボー！　当日は昼から時々雨も降っていましたが、出発時間には晴れてきて全てが素晴らしかったです。
スタッフさんの盛り上げ方も上手で思い出に残るツアーですね。
カタマラン最高！！！

Oahu is currently in the rainy season. It drizzled several times on the day of our outing, but we were able to set sail without any issues. When I glanced towards Waikiki, I encountered the miracle of a large rainbow stretching from the Waikiki hotels to Diamond Head!

On the yacht, since drinks were unlimited, everyone ordered their beverages, and the crew cheerfully opened several bottles of champagne while lively music played… it felt just like a club atmosphere!

The sunset was also beautiful as the clouds lit up, and when the sun went down, the night view of the Waikiki hotels was stunning, so I recommend it for those who are not averse to being on a boat.

However, since sunset cruises depart from various locations, be careful not to mix up the meeting point! I mistakenly went to the catamaran booth and realized it just before departure, so I ran along the beach to get to the Sheraton. However, the beach was interrupted along the way, so I had to enter one of the Waikiki hotels… and ended up getting lost. Thinking I might be late, I asked someone at a hotel bell desk for help, and kindly, that person ran with me to the meeting point, even though I couldn't speak English well.

I missed asking for their name or hotel name, so I wanted to express my gratitude and searched for them at nearby hotels after disembarking, but in the end, I couldn't find them.

It's unbelievable, but I hope this comment reaches them, and I can find out more details…

オアフ島は、今、雨季のシーズン。
当日も小雨が何度も降っていましたが、無事出航出来ました。
ふと、ワイキキ方向を見ると…何とワイキキホテルから、ダイアモンドヘッドにかけて大きな虹がかかるという奇跡に遭遇☆

ヨットの上では、飲み放題という事もあって、おのおの飲み物を注文したり、クルーも、景気良くシャンパンを何本か開けてくれ、ご機嫌な音楽もかかり…まるでクラブのようなノリでした*\(^o^)/*

肝心のサンセットも雲が焼けて、いい感じで☆陽が沈むとワイキキホテルの夜景も綺麗なので、船が苦手じゃない人にはおすすめですV(^_^)V

ただ、サンセットクルーズは、色々な場所から出ているので、待ち合わせ場所は、間違えないように‼︎
私は、カタマランブースを間違えて、直前に気づきビーチを走って移動。
シェラトンHを目指しましたが、途中ビーチが寸断されていたので、ワイキキホテルの中に入って…迷子になってしまいました。
間に合わないといけないと思い、どこかのホテルのベルデスクの人に助けを求めると…
親切にもその方は、英語がわからない私と一緒に、かなり走って集合場所に連れて行って下さいました。
名前もホテル名も聞きそびれてしまったので…
お礼が言いたくて、下船後近くのホテルを訪ねて探しましたが、結局わかりませんでしたσ(^_^;)

ありえない事ですが…このコメントを見て下さっていて、責めて詳細がわかるといいのですが…

Good overall experience, the sunset was okay but we had an amazing moon rise over Diamond Head! Crew was great! Thank you

I chose this sailing experience for my father, who loves yachts, to enjoy. The speed was faster than I expected, and since we were catching the wind, I didn't feel seasick. However, the prime spot at the front of the boat, where you can see the ocean, was occupied by another Japanese family, so my child was disappointed that they couldn't get closer. Additionally, I found the strong push for tips, separate from the tour fee, a bit disappointing.

ヨットが好きな父に楽しんでもらうため、このセーリングを選びました。
思ったより早い速度で進み、風を受けていたため、船酔いも大丈夫でした。
ただ先頭の海面を見渡せる特等席はもう一組の日本人家族が占拠してしまっていたため、うちの子どもは近づけず残念そうでした。
またツアー代金とは別にチップの要求アピールが強かったため、少し残念でした。

We did not really know what to expect when we booked this adventure. We had a group of 20 go with us and it was a lot of fun. The crew did a great job with serving us and as soon as we got on offered us a drink. It was nice to know they were checking ID's of the individuals that were close to 21 years old. We left Waikiki and headed out to diamond head and they continually offered each person a drink as soon as they ran out. It was a lot of fun sitting in the sun and hanging out with friends and we got a lot of pictures. the net sitting in the front of the boat was so much fun and if you have never done this you MUST sit in the nets for a couple splashes. We took video and frame by frame experience that we have posted on Facebook and we have so many people that love that picture and wanted to find out more details about where we did this as well as the cost.

My only suggestion it would be nice if the company had ideas were we could continue the party after we get off the boat (i.e., happy hour at Duke's from 3-6pm, etc)

When the waves are high, the height difference is quite significant, making it feel like an attraction, and it was really fun! It can be pretty intense, so if you get seasick, it might be better to skip it, haha.

The all-you-can-drink Mai Tais and champagne were incredibly delicious, and the two staff members were really wonderful!

There were hardly any Japanese participants; it was mostly foreigners, and when the music started, everyone began to dance, creating an amazing atmosphere that really pumped me up!!! I definitely want to join again the next time I go to Hawaii＾＾

The boat is relatively simple in design, and since you have to take off your shoes and climb up a ladder from the sea, flip-flops are the best choice!

波があるときは高低差がかなりあってアトラクションのようになって楽しかったです！けっこう激しいので船酔いする人はやめておいたほうが良いかもｗ

飲み放題のマイタイもシャンパンもすっごく美味しいし、スタッフのお兄さん二人もとっても素敵でした☆

参加者に日本人はほぼおらず外人の人ばかりで、音楽がかかるとみんな踊り出すしすごく盛り上がるしでめちゃくちゃテンション上がりました！！！またハワイに行ったときは絶対参加したいです＾＾

船はわりかし簡素というかシンプルな作りで、靴を脱いで海にかかったはしごから登っていくのでビーサンのがいいです！

I made a reservation for a Friday night with fireworks! The night view was really beautiful! The fireworks weren't huge, but it was great to see them at this time of year, as it's rare. Everyone on the tour spoke English as a standard, and I was a bit flustered because the reception area was a little hard to find, but just before it started, Japanese participants began to gather, which made me feel relieved.

花火のある金曜夜に予約して行きました！
夜景がほんとキレーに見えました〜！
花火はどかんと大きいわけじゃないですが、こんな時期に見れるのはレアで良かったです。
ツアーの人は皆英語が基準で、受付の場所がちょっと分かりづらかったので焦りましたが、始まる直前になると日本人参加者が集まってきたので安心しました。

The crew was warm and welcoming! It was a fun experience and the drinks were amazing. It’s a good way to spend a couple hours with family and friends while looking at the beautiful island. I will definetly do this cruise again!
I would say be prepared to get wet! I didn’t realize how much the waves can splash and would definetly wear a swimsuit next time instead of regular clothes.

I use this every time I come to Hawaii.
Seeing Honolulu from the sea is refreshing.
It felt amazing to experience the ocean breeze all over my body.
I got a bit wet, but that felt good too.
My elderly mother was with me, and she enjoyed it without any issues.

毎年ハワイに来る度に利用しています。
海から見るホノルルも新鮮ですよ。
海風を身体全体で感じる事が出来て最高に気持ち良かったです。
多少濡れますがそれも気持ち良いです。
高齢の母も一緒でしたが問題なく楽しんでいました。

The scenery was beautiful as well. It was unfortunate that it started to rain just before the fireworks, but seeing them up close was truly impressive.

景色もきれかったです。花火 直前に雨が降ってきて 残念でしたが 間近に見て すごく 感激しました。

I booked my first sailing experience on a trip to Hawaii after a long time!

Since Friday was our last day and my child loves fireworks, I chose the option that included fireworks viewing.

However, from the title, I thought we would be watching the sunset before the fireworks, but we gathered after the sun had set, so we couldn't see the sunset.

It might have been a seasonal issue, but if you want to see the sunset, it might be better to choose an option without fireworks viewing!

My son was very happy, and it became a great memory!

久しぶりのハワイ旅行で初めてのセーリングを申し込みました！

金曜日が、ちょうど最終日だった事や子供が花火が好きだったこともあり、花火鑑賞付きにしました。

ただ、題名からだとサンセットを見てからの花火鑑賞なのかな？とおもっていたのですが、こちらに関しては日が落ちてからの集合だったのでサンセットは見れませんでした。

時期的な問題だったのかもしれませんが、サンセットをみたいのであれば花火鑑賞つきでない方がいいのかなとおもいました！


息子もとても喜んでいていい思い出になりました！

Although the weather was unfortunately cloudy, I was able to catch a glimpse of the sunset for a moment, and the night view of Waikiki was also visible. With music, drinks, and a pleasant sway, it was comfortable. There were a moderate number of Japanese people, and we were able to communicate while taking photos together. I definitely recommend this tour.

生憎の天気（曇り）でしたが、一瞬日が沈むところが観えたり、ワイキキの
夜景も見えて、音楽とお酒と心地よい揺れで、快適でした。適度に日本人も多く、写真を取り合いながら、コミュニケーションが取れました。是非、お勧めのツアーです。

Almost all of us were Japanese, and while enjoying Mai Tais and chatting with people from various countries, we had a wonderfully fulfilling time swaying gently on the calm waves while watching the sunset! There was a gentleman from the mainland United States who mentioned it was his eighth time participating, and I completely understood his feelings. I highly recommend it!

For those who don't drink Mai Tais, there were also non-alcoholic drinks, white wine, and canned beer available, along with small snacks to enjoy while taking in the sway of the boat.

I really recommend it!

9割近くが、日本人以で
マイタイをのみながら各国の人たちとも
会話を楽しみつつ、サンセットを見ながら穏やかな波に揺られて、すごく充実した時間を過ごせました！！
乗り合ったアメリカ本土から来られているおじさまは、8回目の参加って言ってましたが、
その気持ちがよーくわかりました。
おススメです！

マイタイ飲まない方用のアルコールフリードリンクや白ワイン、缶ビールも用意されていて、
小ぶりのスナック菓子ももらえておつまみいただきながら、船の揺れを楽しめました。

ホントおススメです。

The afternoon boat trip was so much fun. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was to much trouble. We watched the sun set and the drinks were flowing for the whole trip. We met some really nice people and the trip was a great part of our holiday

I'm SO glad we booked this! I will again, when I return!

Great boat trip, very friendly staff and drinks are flowing the whole trip. Really had a fun time and the weather was great and watched the sun setting on our sail. Recommend the trip to couples or families

The fireworks last only about 5 minutes, but the catamaran cruise with beautiful night views and unlimited cocktails was a lot of fun. You can enjoy it even without the fireworks.

花火はほんの5分位ですが，夜景が奇麗なカタマランクルーズと飲み放題のカクテル．とても楽しかった．
花火がなくても十分楽しめます．

We got tickets for the sunset tour and it was the most beautiful experience! The crew was very friendly and welcoming from the time we boarded till we got back to shore, I would highly recommend this tour!!

I noticed from the reviews that, as expected, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. I couldn't quite keep up with the energy of the foreigners, but the Mai Tai was delicious, and the night view and fireworks were amazing!

書き込みを見ていて、予想通り日本人は私たち以外にはもう1組だけでした。外国人の方々のテンションにイマイチついていけませんでしたが、マイタイが美味しかったのと、夜景と花火が最高でした！

What a terrific experience! The crew were excellent; fun, and relaxed, they allowed us to sit in the net of the boat (some don't!). The music was great, too. We would definitely go sailing on Na Hoku 2 again!

I was worried about seasickness and hesitated to sign up, but with a friend's recommendation from last year, I took motion sickness medication and participated. It was amazing. The beautiful sunset was definitely worth it, especially with the medication. Thanks to the medicine, I didn't feel any seasickness at all and had a great time.

船酔いを心配して申し込みを迷っていましたが、昨年参加した友人の勧めもあり酔い止めの薬を服用して参加しました。最高でした。とても綺麗なサンセットは酔い止め飲んで参加の価値ありです。薬のおかげか全く船酔いもなく楽しめました。

I was able to see Waikiki from the sea for the first time. The fireworks from Hilton felt different from those viewed from Hilton Lagoon; it was as if I was monopolizing the fireworks. However, I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food.

初めて海上からワイキキを観る事が出来ました。
ヒルトンの花火もヒルトンラグーンから観る花火とは違った印象を受けたのは、まるで花火を独占していたかのように感じたからでしょう。
只、食事はあまり期待しない方が良いと思います。

Sailing with the wind and no engine noise.
A fun atmosphere with everyone.
We could see both the north and south on the round trip.
It was supposed to be fireworks on Friday, but it was after the cruising.

帆で走りエンジン音が無い。
皆んなで楽しい雰囲気。
往復で南北両方見れた。
金曜日の花火という事だったが、クルージング語だった。

I participated because I could drink alcohol and the prices were cheaper than others. The drinks included Mai Tai cocktails and canned beer. We went quite far out and were able to see the sunset. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea is amazing! Since it's all-you-can-drink, I could drink without hesitation. Next time, I want to join on a Friday.

お酒が飲めて、料金が他より安いので参加しました。アルコールは、カクテルのマイタイと、缶ビールでした。けっこう沖まで行って、夕日を見ることができました。海から見るワイキキや、ダイヤモンドヘッド最高です！飲み放題なので、遠慮なく飲めます。今度は、金曜日に参加したいですね。

The night view was more beautiful than I expected. Since it's an all-you-can-drink option, it's cost-effective for those who can drink, but be careful as there are no restrooms. Japanese women are often perceived as looking younger, so they were asked to show ID (passport) when ordering alcohol.

期待した以上に夜景が綺麗だった。飲み放題なので、飲める人にはコスパが良いがトイレはないので注意が必要。日本人の女性は若く見られるのでお酒の注文にはＩＤ（パスポート）の提示を求められていた。

I read other experiences and was a bit worried about not being able to blend in with the other participants, but it was not a problem at all. Everyone enjoyed their time in their own way, and we were able to relax and watch the sunset while sipping on Mai Tais. The staff were all very friendly and made it easy to enjoy our time.

他の体験談を読んで、他の参加者の方に溶け込めなかったらどうしよう…と若干心配になりながら申し込みましたが、全く問題なかったです。みんなそれぞれの楽しみ方で過ごしていて、私たちもマイタイを飲みながらのんびりと夕日を眺められました。スタッフの方はみなさんとても気さくで過ごしやすかったです。
