All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

Loved it really enjoyed the experience would highly recommend. Fantastic way to end a holiday

It’s beautiful just don’t opt for the all you can drink it’s to short of a journey to try and catch a buzz while admiring the views!

You can enjoy beautiful views of Diamond Head and feel the breeze of Hawaii, which is very enjoyable. This time it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I would love to visit again.

ダイアモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたりと景色が堪能でき
ハワイの風を感じられたりととても楽しいです。
今回は曇ってて日の入りが見られませんでしたが、またリピートしたいと思います。

We had the most incredible evening - these women are kickass and we couldn't have imagined a better crew!! The drinks were great, the sunset unbelievable and the boat was VERY clean - even the bathrooms were nice and clean. We would definitely do this again when back in Hawaii!

Highly recommend a Hawaiian Mimosa by the way!! Well worth the money for an evening on the water - big enough that it's spacious too. Thank you girls for such a memorable evening!! <3

I apologize for the late post, but I used the service in April. Since our arrival date was on a Friday, I signed up for my friend’s first trip to Hawaii to see the Hilton fireworks! My friend, who was worried about motion sickness, was very happy to enjoy the fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze (a jacket is a must!). I usually watch from the beach, but seeing the fireworks from the water was exceptional. I would like to sign up again next time!

投稿が遅くなりましたが、4月に利用しました。到着日が金曜日だったので、ヒルトンの花火が観られる！とハワイ初の友達のために申し込みました。乗り物酔いが心配だった友達も、心地よい風を受けながらの花火鑑賞にとても喜んでくれました（上着は必須です！）。私もいつもはビーチからの鑑賞でしたが、海の上から見る花火は格別なものでした。次回も申し込みたいと思います！

It was an amazing trip with beautiful views. The crew was friendly and funny. I would recommend this trip!!!

I was very lucky to encounter a pod of dolphins! The tour guide was also very enthusiastic and made the experience enjoyable. I was truly happy in that wonderful atmosphere. Thank you very much! 😊

イルカの群れにも出逢えて
とてもラッキーでした！
添乗員さんもノリノリで楽しませて頂き
本当に幸せな空間で嬉しかったです。
ありがとございました(^^)

I showed my voucher at the booth as instructed, but was told it was the wrong place and that I needed to go to the Sheraton. When I went to the Sheraton, there was no reception area. When I returned, I saw the same person from earlier with the boat in the photo, so I asked again and was told to wait there. However, while I was left waiting, more and more people boarded the boat, and as they were about to close it, I asked again and was told to hurry up. During the tour, everything was lively in English, but the only time I heard Japanese was when they asked for tips at the end. It was the worst experience.

指示どうりのブースでバウチャー見せたのに、ここではない シェラトンの方だと、シェラトンの方に行きましたが受付らしきものはなく、また、戻って見ると先程の人と写真の船があったので、もう一度聞くと、その場で待つように言われたが、どんどん他の人間が乗船する中ほったらかし、締め切ろうとするので、もう一度聞くと早く乗れと ツアー中もすべて英語で盛り上がって、唯一下船時に『チップ下さい』の日本語 最悪〜

We participated as a couple, and it was really fun. This might be the best tour we've been on so far. The captain was lively and made it enjoyable, and there were young people from abroad, so we were able to take photos together, creating great memories.

夫婦で参加しました、とても楽しかったです
今まで行ったツアーで一番かな。キャプテンもノリノリで楽しかったです、外国の若者もいて一緒に写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。

Last year, I participated with my daughter and had so much fun that this time I joined with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. I signed her up as a surprise gift since she is a bit scared, but the fun was so overwhelming that she seemed to forget her fear and was really happy, asking to go to the front of the boat to take pictures. There were not many Japanese people, but the foreigners were lively, dancing and singing, which made it incredibly enjoyable. When we got off the boat, a wave came and soaked us up to our bottoms (^▽^;). I think it's better to have a towel. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

昨年、娘と参加してとても楽しかったので今回はハワイ初の友人と参加させていただきました。少し怖がりの友人へサプライズプレゼントで申し込みしたのですが、あまりの楽しさに怖さもどこかへ行ってしまったのか自分から船の先頭へ行って写真撮って～と凄く喜んでいました。日本人は少ないですが、外人さん達がノリノリで踊ったり、歌ったりですっごく楽しかったです。
船から降りる時に波がきてお尻まで濡れてしまいました(^▽^;)タオルはあった方が良いと思います。またハワイへ行った際は是非参加したいです。

I stayed in Hawaii for a wedding this time. I booked this sunset cruise as an optional tour that my parents and relatives could enjoy together! As expected, everyone from my elderly parents to my cousins in their 20s had a great time. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the cheerful crew created a fun atmosphere, making the cruising experience fly by. The last time I came to Hawaii, I participated in the daytime cruise, but I personally recommend the sunset cruise because it’s not too hot, and the sea breeze feels nice! If you go to Hawaii, definitely consider joining this. It should be enjoyable for people of all ages and genders.

今回ウェディングのためにハワイに滞在しました。両親、親戚も一緒に楽しめるオプショナルツアーとしてこちらのサンセットクルーズを予約しました！期待通り高齢の両親から20代のいとこまで全員楽しむ事が出来ました。ドリンクは飲み放題で明るいクルー達が盛り上げてくれ楽しい雰囲気であっという間のクルージングです。前回ハワイに来たときは日中の本クルーズに参加しましたがサンセットクルーズのほうが暑すぎず海風が気持ち良くて個人的におすすめです！！ハワイに行かれる際は是非ご参加してみてください。年齢、性別問わずお楽しみいただけるはずです。

I was worried about seasickness, so I participated without alcohol. There were many people besides Japanese, and the atmosphere on the boat was lively. We were blessed with good weather, and it was a wonderful sunset time. I would like to join this tour again when I go to Hawaii.

船酔いが心配だったので、ノンアルコールで参加しました。
日本人以外もたくさんいて、船上はにぎやかでした。
お天気にも恵まれ、素敵なサンセットタイムでした。
またハワイに行った際は、参加したいツアーです。

Easily booked.
Rather difficult to find the place to check in.
Excellent captain and hostess.
Could go a bit further in the ocean instead of making a couple of rounds near the shore.

I have been on a catamaran before and have participated in sunset cruises, but this time was the best.

Above all, the hospitality of the captain and the bartender was outstanding!

And not only did we see the sunset, but we also got to see dolphins!

I have seen whales before, but they were a bit far away, so that was a little disappointing. However, this time, as the captain said, we saw them up close.

And the casual interactions with the friendly mainland people on board.

I was reminded once again how important it is for each person to connect!

カタマランには以前にも乗ったことがあるし、サンセットクルーズにも参加したことがあるし、、、と思いながら参加したのですが、今回のは最高でした。

何より船長とバーテンダーのホスピタリティが最高！

そして、サンセットだけでなく、なんとイルカも見ることができました！

クジラは見たことがあるのですが、やや遠かったので少し残念でした。しかし今回は、船長の言った通り、すごく間近で見るました。

そして船上でのフランクなメインランドの人達とのささいな関わり。

人間、ひとりひとりが関わることが大事なんだと改めて実感しました！

At the meeting point, there are similar boats, so it's essential to confirm the logo of the black-hulled "Mai Tai." At first, I mistakenly went to the reception of a different boat in front. When the start time arrived, there was an energetic explanation, and we boarded with that same excitement. Soon after, Mai Tais were served, but you really have to go and get them yourself. There were many young Americans, and the atmosphere felt just like a party. We went out much further than I expected, and Diamond Head was beautiful. You can enjoy it for a full two hours.

二時間たっぷり、楽しめます。

An American group with a wedding reception vibe, just so cheerful! Unlimited Mai Tais, 4 to 5 cups! I was surprised by the dolphins jumping.

結婚式二次会風のアメリカ人グループ、とにかく陽気❗️ マイタイ飲み放題を4～5杯‼️ イルカのジャンプにはびっくりしました。

Check-in was at 2:30 PM, so I arrived a bit early, around 2:20 PM, and checked in right at 2:30 PM. However, it felt quite relaxed, as it seemed you could check in anytime between 2:30 PM and 2:45 PM.

The sunset cruise was fully booked a few days in advance, but it seemed like the daytime cruise was okay for same-day reservations. Those who were boarding on the day had paper wristbands on their arms, and there were quite a few of them.

There are restrooms available. The drinks for the daytime cruise were not all-you-can-drink, as stated on Veltra, so I went with that expectation. In reality, the bartender explained things in long sentences in English, which I didn't quite understand, but I heard him mention prices like "beer ◯ dollars" and "Mai Tai ◯ dollars." However, everyone seemed to just tell the bartender what drinks they wanted, giving it a feel of all-you-can-drink.

Tips were being thrown in with $10 and $20 bills. I guess it was implied that while the beer was ◯ dollars, you should tip on top of that? I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper explanation in Japanese at check-in regarding that system. Regulars were already ordering drinks and starting to drink before the explanation.

On the boat, people who didn’t know each other were chatting and having a good time, but if you can’t speak English, you might feel a bit isolated. It seems like it would be more fun with a larger group.

チェックインが14:30なので早めに14:20くらいに着いて14:30ぴったりにチェックインしましだが、14:30〜14:45くらいまでにチェックインすれば良いような緩い感じでした。
サンセットの方は予約で数日前から埋まってましたが、昼の部は当日でもOKのようです。当日受付に言って乗る人たちは腕に紙のリングを巻いてましたが、かなりいました。
トイレあります。
ドリンクは昼の部は飲み放題ではないとベルトラに書いてあったので、そのつもりで乗りました。
実際はバーテンダーが英語で長文で説明されたので良くわからなかったのですが、ビール◯ドル、マイタイ◯ドルとか読み上げてましたが、みんなバーテンダーに飲みたいドリンクを言って飲み放題感覚でした。
チップは10ドル紙幣や20ドル紙幣がガンガン入れられていました。
「ビール◯ドルだけど、チップで入れてね」ってことだったのでしょうか？
あのシステムは日本語にして受付で紙で配ってくれても良いなと思いました。常連さんは乗った時から（説明前）ドリンクをオーダーして飲み始めてました。
船上は知らない人同士も気さくに話し合い盛り上がっていましたが、英語が話せないとポツンとしてしまいます。大人数で乗った方が盛り上がるでしょうね。

we absolutely loved our trip on the Mana Kai Catamaran! Our captain was named Brewski and he made sure that we all had a great time and everybody was safe. Beautiful views, fun vibe, and good people.

Buy a handle of rum and mix it with some fresh Hawaiian juices, mix it up in a huge jug and bring it aboard for everybody to share! you will make friends quick! everyone is on vacation so its a great vibe

It was an exciting and enjoyable evening. I had to make a reservation early for the evening, as last year it was fully booked and I couldn't get in. This time, I made a reservation from Japan and went on my second choice date. Since most of the guests were Japanese, I felt a bit more at ease.

迫力があり楽しい夕時でした。
夕方の予約は早い目にしないといけないので去年は予約いっぱいでダメだったので今回は日本で予約して第二希望日で乗りました。日本の方がほとんどだったので少し安心でした。

This was my third time on the Sunset Sailing Mai Tai Catamaran, and for the first time, I saw other Japanese participants besides ourselves.

Still, the view of Diamond Head from the sea, the refreshing scenery and breeze, and the setting sun were amazing. I think when I go to Hawaii again, I will rely on the Sunset Sailing for my fourth time.

今回で３回目の【サンセットセーリング　マイタイ・カタマラン号】でしたが、初めて自分達以外の日本人が参加しているのを見ました。

それでも海側から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、爽やかな景色と風、沈んでいく夕日は最高で、またハワイに行った時には４回目のサンセットセーリングにお世話になると思います。

Friday night firework dinner cruise was fantastic.
Drinks, music, food, picturesque views of the city, mountains, and ocean. Sat on the front of the boat outside with my wife and 2 teenage boys.
A memory that’s hard to recreate. I read reviews prior to the trip and saw griping about the food.
Ridiculous in my opinion. If you want gourmet food then go to a 5 Star restaurant. If you want the memory of a sunset cruise on a catamaran with fireworks, alcoholic beverages, music, and fun people the. I recommend

Watching the fireworks from the sea on Friday was such a luxury. The yacht cruiser was comfortable and didn't sway much. The food wasn't gourmet, but there was plenty of it, and drinks were generously unlimited. Above all, the captain and the crew were all fantastic.

金曜日の花火を洋上から見るなんてとても贅沢でした。
ヨット・クルーザーはさして揺れることもなく快適で、
料理は高級ではないが、量は十分あり、飲み物もご厚意で飲み放題でした。
何より船長はじめ乗組員は皆様最高です。

The wind was strong and the waves were high, but it was a pleasant sailing experience while enjoying a Mai Tai. Last time, dolphins swam alongside us, so I was hoping for the same this time, but unfortunately, they didn't show up! I would love to participate again.

風が強く波も高かったけど、マイタイを頂きながら気持ちいいセーリングでした。前回はイルカが併走したので今回も期待してたのですが、今回は現れてくれず残念！ また参加したいです。

I have visited Hawaii many times, but it has been a while since I went out to sea on a boat. My wife, who easily gets seasick, suggested trying a catamaran cruise. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky and strong winds, we couldn't see the sunset, but we enjoyed a pleasant time in the sea breeze. Next time, I would like to go on a calm, sunny day.

これまで何度となく訪れたハワイですが、海に船で出るのは久しぶり。船酔いしやすい妻が乗ってみたいと言い出したカタマラン・クルーズ。
曇り空かつ風の強い日だったため、サンセットは残念ながら見ることはできなかったが、潮風の中を心地よい時間を過ごせた。
今度は晴れた穏やかな日に乗船してみたいと思う。

I was relieved to find out that it was okay as long as I arrived by the boarding time when I called because I was running late for check-in. It was a day with very strong winds and quite high waves, and almost everyone got pretty wet when boarding the boat from the shore. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the sunset, but it was a great experience to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. I would like to try again next time.

チェックイン時間に遅刻しそうになりTelすると、乗船時間までに来てくれればOKとのことで助かりました。風が非常に強い日で波がかなり高く、波打ち際から船に乗り込む際にほとんど全員がかなり濡れました。
サンセットは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、海から見るワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドはいい経験になりました。
次回リベンジしたいと思います。

The sunset was obstructed by clouds as it sank into the sea, but this cruise was very pleasant, and believe it or not, it's my fourth time. When you come to Hawaii, you have to take this cruise to really get started!

サンセットは海に沈むには雲が邪魔しちゃいましたが、とってもこのクルーズは気持ちがよくなんだかんだと4回目です。ハワイに来たらこれに乗らないと始まらないね！

It was boring because everything was in English and I couldn't understand what was being said. It felt like a waste of money since it was only foreigners who were excited. The snacks were also not great.

英語ばかりで英語がわからないと何を言っているのかわからずつまらなかった。外国人だけで盛り上がり高いお金を出したのにもったいなかったです。軽食ももイマイチでした。

During the night tour, we could watch the fireworks. I recommend bringing a jacket or windbreaker to protect against the cold wind.

This is my second time participating. This time, I tried it during sunset. Unfortunately, due to the weather, I wasn't able to see the sunset, but no matter what time you participate, it's an activity where you can feel the breeze of Waikiki. I'm sure I want to ride again.

二度目の参加です
今回はサンセットの時間帯にしてみました
あいにくの天気で夕日にはお目にかかることが出来ませんでしたが
ただ、どの時間帯に参加してもワイキキの風を感じられるアクティビティです
きっとまた乗りたいと思います

This is my second time participating. Last time, after checking in, I wasn't informed of anything and just waited for over 40 minutes. However, this time, perhaps due to improvements in the system, I was informed of the meeting time 50 minutes later at check-in, which allowed me to return to the hotel for a bit. Unfortunately, the cruise was marred by cloudy weather, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset.

2度目の参加です。前回は受け付けをしてから何も伝えてもらえず、ただただ40分以上待たされましたが、今回は、システムが改善されたのか、受け付け時に50分後の集合時間を伝えてもらえてた事で、一度ホテルに帰る事が出来ました。肝心のクルーズは、生憎の曇天だったためサンセットを見られず残念でした。
