All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

It's a sunset sailing, but the fireworks viewing on Friday is after sunset, so you won't be able to see the sunset. I don't think people who don't understand English and can't drink alcohol will enjoy it. The fireworks were beautiful.

サンセットセーリングだけど、【金曜日】花火鑑賞付きは日の入り後なのでサンセットは見られません。
英語がわからずお酒が飲めない人は楽しめないと思います。
花火は綺麗でした。

Had a fun time, will go again next visit for sure!

Crew was good. Music was good. Would have liked more drink choices since it's called a booze cruise

I have participated with my mother, who is over 80 years old, for three consecutive years. I am satisfied with the staff's brightness, the thrill of the boat, and the delicious cocktails.

80歳を過ぎた母と３年連続で参加させていただいたています。
スタッフの明るさと船のスリルとおいしいカクテル　満足です。

I participated on New Year's Day with hopes that 2018 would be a wonderful year.

The departure point for the catamaran was a bit hard to find, but I asked someone at a nearby shop and managed to locate it.

When boarding the cruise, you will have to step into the water from the sandy beach, so it's recommended to wear flip-flops or go barefoot.

There were many participants from countries other than Japan, allowing us to enjoy an international atmosphere.

The sight of the large sun slowly setting over the coastline is breathtaking. This tour allows you to feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature. The boat returns just after the sun has completely set, so you can thoroughly enjoy the view of the sunset.

The boat has a restroom, but be careful not to drink too much water (laughs).

2018年が素晴らしい１年になるよう願いを込めて、元旦に参加しました。

カタマラン出港場所が少し分かりにくく、
近くのお店の人に聞いて見つけました。

クルーズに乗り込む時は、砂浜から船に乗るため、水に足が浸かる形となります。乗る時はビーチサンダルか裸足がオススメです。

日本人以外の参加者の方も多く、インターナショナルな雰囲気が味わえます。

海岸線に大きな太陽がゆっくりと沈んでいく様子は圧巻です。
ハワイの自然の雄大さを感じられるツアーです。
夕日が完全に沈み終わった頃に船が帰着するので、日が沈んでいく様子をじっくりと楽しむことができました。

船にトイレは付いていますが、水分の取りすぎには要注意かも（笑）。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and the sailing trip to the distant ocean was wonderful. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from out at sea was great! Occasionally, we got splashed by big waves and felt the wind, which got my son really excited!

８歳の息子と二人で参加しましたが、遠い沖までのセーリングで、離れた海の上からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが良かったです！
時折、大きな波を被ったり、風を感じて、息子も大興奮でした！

I had previously taken the catamaran during the day and found it very pleasant, so this time I chose this plan to enjoy the sunset, the catamaran, and some drinks! The catamaran was indeed enjoyable! The weather was great, and the sunset was amazing! There were not only beers but also Mai Tais and sparkling wine. They were delicious!

Last time I went, it was quite windy and cold, so I brought a long-sleeved hoodie, which was just right. However, it seemed tough for those who are prone to seasickness... If you don’t get seasick, I recommend the catamaran over the luxurious sunset cruise!

お昼のカタマランは以前乗ったことがあり、とても気持ち良かったので、今回は是非サンセットとカタマランとお酒を楽しめるこのプランにしました！
やっぱりカタマランは気持ち良かった！天気がよくて、サンセットも最高でした！アルコールも、ビールだけじゃなくてマイタイやスパークリングワインもありました。美味しかったです！
前回乗ったとき、風がかなりあり寒かったので、長袖のパーカーを持参したところ、ちょうどいい具合でした。
ただ、船酔いしやすい人はつらそうでした…。船酔いしないならば、豪華サンセットクルーズよりもカタマランがおすすめです！

We had a blast. Staff and skipper were sensational. Good drinks and a bloody good time!

I participated for the first time on a Friday night when the Hilton had fireworks. I thought the fireworks would be far away, but they were quite close and very beautiful! After that, I enjoyed the stunning night sky filled with stars. There wasn't anything particularly eventful, but the relaxed hour and a half spent sipping Mai Tais and wine was fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to go sailing during the day!

初めて参加しました。ヒルトンの花火がある金曜の夜に。花火は遠くからかなー、と思っていたのですが、かなり近くでとってもきれい！その後夜空の美しい星空も楽しめました。特にイベントらしいものはありませんでしたが、マイタイやワインを飲みながらゆったり流れる約一時間半の時間は最高でした。今度は昼のセーリングにぜひ行きたいです！

We used the service with three family members. There were only two other Japanese groups, and most of the participants were from Europe and America. Therefore, the staff provided all instructions in English, and they spoke very quickly. As someone who is not good at English at all, I could hardly understand anything (laughs). The staff didn't pay extra attention just because I was Japanese, so a certain level of English proficiency is essential. In fact, it might be better to try to communicate in broken English, as it could make other participants feel more comfortable.

If you can get past that, the atmosphere of everyone having fun together is really enjoyable, and the sunset is incredibly beautiful. I hope this helps!

家族3人で利用させてもらいました。他に日本人グループは2組だけで、ほとんどが欧米人の参加者。なのでスタッフもオール英語の案内。しかも早口のマシンガントーク。英語が全くダメな私はほぼ聞き取れませんでした（笑）スタッフも日本人だからということで気にかけてくれるわけではありませんので、ある程度の英語力は必須です。それどころか、他の参加者に気を使わせてしまうので、下手な英語でもコミュニケーションをとるようにした方がいいと思います。
そこをクリアすれば、みんなでワイワイやる雰囲気はとても楽しい（楽しそう）ですし、夕日も最高に綺麗です。参考になれば。

Comfortable, scenic, and fun. The views were great and the crew were very attentive. They went above and beyond for a couple passengers with sea sickness.
Don't worry if you're the last to board and can't find a seat, once you take off everyone is outside and moving around. No wait at the bar or food table. Friendly crew, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge of the islands.
A light jacket or long sleeve shirt might be needed at sunset.
And don't arrive too early since there is a little wait before boarding.
Awesome time!

I was able to experience a refreshing atmosphere, a cool breeze, and stylish music that felt extraordinary! The sunset was beautiful and truly moving!

雰囲気、爽やかな風、おしゃれな音楽非日常を味わうことができました！サンセットもキレイで感動だったー！

Among the approximately 50 participants, we were the only Japanese family of four. We could hardly understand the staff's English announcements, but once we departed, each staff member spoke to us in broken Japanese.

We were swept up in the excitement of the international guests, and it was incredibly fun. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic.

50人ほどの参加者の中で日本人は、我々の家族4人だけで、スタッフの英語のアナウンスは、ほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、出発してからは、スタッフそれぞれが、片言の日本語で話掛けてくれました。
海外の方々の盛り上がりに引っ張られ、最高に楽しかった。もちろん日の入りも美しく、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高でした。

I am sensitive to boats, so I took motion sickness medication before boarding, but there was no rocking. The staff took photos and made the experience enjoyable, and it went by in a flash. I really enjoyed the cruise.

船に弱いので、酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船しましたが、
揺れも無く、スタッフの方々が写真を撮ってくれたり、
盛り上げてくれて楽しくあっという間だったです。
クルーズを満喫させて貰いました。

I signed up for this tour thinking it would be an easy activity for my first time in Hawaii. I initially thought we would just be sitting on the boat, but after a while, once the captain introduced himself and the crew, we were able to go out on deck and enjoy the view of the ocean.

The narration was in English, and there were newlyweds, families, and solo travelers, but everyone was very friendly and cheerful.

We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and my whole family was extremely satisfied, wanting to repeat the experience the next day. I would like to use this service again on another occasion.

初ハワイで何か手軽なアクティビティーをと思い、このツアーに申し込みました。普通に船に座って乗っているだけかと思いきや、船が出てからしばらくして船長さん達の紹介を終えると甲板に出て海を眺めることが出来ました。

進行は英語で、海外の新婚さんや家族連れ、おひとり様の方もいましたが、とても和気藹々としていました。

イルカやウミガメにも会うことができ、家族みんな大満足で翌日またリピートしたいと思うほどでした。
またの機会にも利用したいとおもいます。

The catamaran cruise what just what we hoped for! Wonderful time out on the water with friendly service, delicious drinks, incredible views, and nothing to worry about. We would definitely do this again!

it was good time if the drunk people would be absent. it should be needed control/advise by the crews.

The meeting place was farther than I expected, so I was a bit late, but the boat hadn't arrived yet. We waited for about 30 minutes while enjoying the beautiful sunset, and boarded the boat around dusk. The crew members were friendly, and the view of Waikiki from the sea with the fireworks was very beautiful. Music was playing the whole time, creating a club-like atmosphere on the boat. I tend to get seasick easily, and I regretted not taking motion sickness medication... Fortunately, my daughter, who gets seasick more easily than I do, was fine because she took her medication. If you're prone to seasickness, don't forget to take your medication.

集合場所が思っていたより遠く少し遅れてしまいましたが、船はまだ到着していなくて、そこから30分ほどきれいな夕陽を見ながら船を待ち、日が暮れた頃に乗り込みました。
クルーのお兄さんたちはフレンドリーで、花火と海から見たワイキキの街並みがとてもきれいでした。ミュージックがずっと流れていて、船上クラブの雰囲気も♪
もともと酔いやすいのに、酔い止めを飲まずに乗って後悔・・・。わたしより酔いやすい娘は酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげで大丈夫でした。酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

There were more people from other countries than Japanese, but I was able to have a fun time chatting with those at the nearby table, even with my limited English. There were some women and children who looked cold, so it might be a good idea to bring something to wear over your clothes for warmth.

日本人よりも他の国の方が多かったですが、つたない英語でも近くの席の方とワイワイ楽しい時間を過ごせました。中には寒そうにしてる女性や子どもがいたので、羽織るものを持って行く方が安心かもしれません。

I participated in the 5 PM reception. I was planning to return before the sunset, but thanks to the captain's arrangement, we were able to extend our time and see a very beautiful sunset. Thank you to the captain and the lovely bartender! Please be careful with your footing when boarding and disembarking, as the waves can be high and the stairs are narrow.

17時受付の回に参加しました。
夕日が沈む前に帰ってくる予定が、
キャプテンの計らいで、延長していただき、
とても美しい沈む夕日がみれました。
キャプテン、そして美しいバーテンの女性の方、ありがとうございます！！
乗船、下船時は波が高いこともあり足場も細い階段なので、足元注意です。

At the time of the reservation, I couldn't predict the weather, and unfortunately, it was cloudy on the day, so we couldn't see the sunset. However, everyone on the boat, including the staff and other guests, had a great time! When drinks ran out, the staff encouraged us to have more, so we could drink plenty. There are also restrooms on board, which is reassuring! The wind feels amazing! I would love to participate again when it's sunny!

予約の時点で天気の予想が出来ず、当日あいにく曇りでサンセットはみれませんでしたが、船の上でスタッフも他のお客さんもみんなで盛り上がりました！飲み物が無くなったらスタッフが進めてくれて沢山飲めます。トイレもついてるので安心です！風が凄く気持ちいいです！晴れてる時にまた参加したいなぁと思います！

I wanted my 2-year-old to experience sailing, so we participated! There were two other families with small children, and about 40% of the participants were Japanese.

I had expected mostly young foreigners based on the reviews, but surprisingly, there were quite a few older participants as well (laughs), and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. However, when the waves splashed, everyone got excited and started squealing, and as the drinks kicked in, we gradually began dancing to the music, enjoying the lively vibe of a different culture!

The captain and crew didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly and cheerful, which made for a pleasant experience.

While some reviews mention negative experiences, I think those who enjoy drinking and having a good time will really enjoy this. We've participated in various activities during our trip to Hawaii, but my husband, who doesn't speak English, said this cruise was the most fun. The rocking of the boat is quite intense, making it perfect for those who love roller coasters! Conversely, if you're looking to enjoy a more serene sunset, you might want to choose a different cruise.

2歳児にセーリングを体験させたくて参加しました！他にも小さなお子様連れが2組いて、日本人参加者は全体の4割程度でした。

口コミを見て外国人は若者ばかりを覚悟していましたが、案外若くもなく（笑）落ち着いた感じでした。でも波しぶきがかかるとキャーキャー言って盛り上がり、酔いがまわると次第に音楽に合わせて踊り始め異国のノリを楽しめました♪
キャプテンやクルーは日本語を話せませんが、フランクな陽気な方でとても感じが良かったです。

口コミでたまに嫌な思いをされる方がいるようですが、お酒が好きで、ワイワイするのが好きな方でしたら楽しめると思います。このハワイ旅行で色々と参加しましたが、英語が話せない主人でもこのクルーズが一番楽しかったと言っています。揺れが激しいので、ジェットコースター好きな方にもピッタリです！
逆に、しっとりとサンセットを楽しみたい方は別のクルーズにされた方がいいかもしれません。

I was moved when I rode it for the first time last year! I've decided to make it a regular tour starting this year! Enjoying a delicious Mai Tai against the backdrop of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head♡ This is pure bliss. Sometimes getting splashed by the waves, and after the excitement of the activities, slowing down to fully enjoy the sunset. I'll ride it again next year!

昨年初めて乗って感動！今年から定番ツアーに決定！ワイキキのホテル群とダイヤモンドヘッドを背景に美味しいマイタイを飲む♡
これぞ至福の時間。時に波をかぶったり、アクティビティの様なワクワクの後、スピードを落としてサンセットを存分に楽しむ。また来年も乗ります！

Open bar had great selection. Length of trip with fireworks was perfect. Just what I was looking for.

I booked the evening cruise on the fourth day. Be careful, as it looks nothing like the catalog images. As soon as we got out to Diamond Head, the waves of the open sea caused a lot of up-and-down motion... Personally, it was the best activity, but I definitely do not recommend it for those who get motion sickness.

4日目の夕方乗船で予約。カタログ画像と全く違うので要注意。ダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで出たとたん、外洋の波でアップダウンの激しい揺れが・・・。個人的には最高のアクティビティーでしたが、乗り物酔いする方には絶対にお勧めしません。

I quickly found the reception area since I had researched it in advance. I arrived at the meeting time of 2:30 PM and was told to return by 3:00 PM, so I waited right in front. However, even at 3:00 PM, it seemed like the reserved guests hadn't arrived, and they were discussing something while looking at the list, which delayed our boarding. In the end, it was just our group and a family of three that set sail. It was nice to have the boat to ourselves and enjoy the view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean, but when we went further out towards Diamond Head, it was a bit scary. If we could have seen dolphins or something, it might have been more enjoyable, but I started to feel a bit bored. Since I can't speak English, the staff kindly checked on me in Japanese to see if I was okay.

受付場所は事前に調べていたのですぐにわかりました。集合時間14：30に到着し50分に戻って来てと言われたのですぐ前で待っていましたが、15：00になっても予約客が来ないのか名簿を見ながら何やら話してなかなか乗船出来ませんでした、結局私達と3人家族だけで出航しました。貸切状態でゆったりできワイキキビーチを沖から見ているでは良かったけれど、延々沖（ダイヤモンドヘッドの方）へ出た時ちょっと怖かったかな。イルカとか何か見れたらもう少し楽しめたかもですがちょっと退屈してきました。英語が話せないのでスタッフは大丈夫？と日本語で気遣ってくれました。

We had a great time seeing Waikiki from the water and the crew was great, they were very fun with the guests and made every effort to anticipate our needs.

I enjoyed the sunset at Diamond Head while sipping a Mai Tai with a cheerful captain!

It's my favorite memory from Waikiki.

陽気なキャプテンとマイタイを楽しみながら、サンセットのダイヤモンドヘッドを満喫しました！

ワイキキでの一番の思い出です。

Great just don’t bother paying the extra for all you can drink it can be a little bumpy out there

It was a small Mai Tai catamaran, but it sped along gracefully, with the cheers of passengers splashing in the waves. Tourists from Japan were able to exchange photos with foreign tour guests and share a fun time together. The sight of Diamond Head glowing in the sunset was also impressive, and I definitely want to board again next time.

小型のマイタイ・カタマラン号でしたが軽快に疾走し、波しぶきを浴びた乗客達の歓声が船中に。
日本からの観光客も、外国人ツアー客とも写真交換させてもらい楽しい時間を共有できました。
夕日に浮かぶダイアモンドヘッドも印象的で、次回も是非、乗船したいと思う。
