All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

The Mai Tai was not crowded with Japanese people, allowing us to fully enjoy the overseas atmosphere! The funky Westerners added to the excitement, making the sunset even more enjoyable!

マイタイ号は日本人少なく、海外気分満喫！
ファンキーな欧米人が盛り上げてサンセットをより楽しめました！

This was my second time on the Holokai Catamaran, and it was my first time at Sunset Cruises. The staff really got everyone excited, and it was a fun time. I was able to see parts of Diamond Head that I wouldn't normally see, which made me feel like I was really in Hawaii! The sunset was also very beautiful, and the locals surfing looked amazing. I think the unlimited drinks at a great price were a fantastic deal! Thank you very much!

今回で二回目のホロカイカタマランで、サンセットクールズは初めてでした。スタッフさん盛り上げてくれて、楽しい時間でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側とかもなかなかみれないので、ハワイに来たなー！という実感が湧いて来ました。サンセットもとても綺麗で、サーフィンをしているロコ達がとても画になり素敵でした。お酒も飲み放題でお得な金額だと思います！ありがとうございました

We participated in this cruise as the start of my cousin's bachelor party and boy what a great way to start it out! The catamaran was so cool, there was plenty of room for everyone, the staff was helpful and very friendly, and the views were breathtaking. We even saw a sea turtle at the end! The staff made it so fun and made some pretty good drinks to boot. The appetizers were not great, but that is not why we were on the cruise. It was a relaxing and easy cruise right off the pier and around Diamond Head. The sunset views were beautiful. I would highly recommend taking a sunset Waikiki Sail on the Spirit of Aloha.

We had a wonderful time. Staff was great! Would do it again!

There were about 20 participants, mostly Westerners, along with my family and another group of Japanese people. The staff was friendly, and Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink. Initially, only those who wanted a Mai Tai raised their hands, and they were served accordingly. After that, those who wanted juice could request it themselves. Instead of moving sideways near the Diamond Head, we stopped the engine and sailed straight out to sea using only the power of the sails. If you sit on the right side during the ride, you can enjoy the view of Diamond Head on the way out and the sunset on the way back, which I highly recommend.

Those who ordered alcoholic drinks like Mai Tais put about $5 in the tip box when disembarking. They also took a commemorative photo with the yacht when boarding, which you can purchase for $20 if you like. I bought it as a keepsake, and it became a wonderful memory! The boarding point is at the beach near the Sheraton's Halekulani. It's a bit hard to find, so please be careful. It's a white yacht.

日本人は私たち家族ともう一組であとは欧米人ばかり２０人ほど参加していました。
スタッフもフレンドリーでマイタイやビール、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題。最初にマイタイ希望者のみ手を挙げ人数分サーブされ、その後にジュースなどの希望者は自分でリクエストします。ダイヤモンドベッド近くに横に進むというよりエンジンを止めてかなりの沖合までビーチに垂直に帆の力だけで進みます。乗船は右側に座ると行きはダイヤモンドベッド、帰りはサンセットを眺めれるのでオススメです。
マイタイ等アルコールを注文した人達は降りる時に5ドルほどチップを箱の中に入れていました。乗船時にヨットと記念撮影してくれ気に入れば20ドルで購入出来ます。
記念に購入しましたが良い思い出になりました！乗船はシェラトンのハレクラニ側のビーチです。わかりづらいので気をつけてください。白いヨットです。

Absolutely unreal! Worth every penny. Great music, great crew, just beautiful. Get ready to get splashed!

Next time I would take an anti nausea capsule as it was a little choppy heading out.

There were only Asians and mostly Westerners, but it was fun! I thought there would be soft drinks, but it seems there were only alcoholic beverages.

アジア人は自分たちだけで、あとは欧米の人たちばかりでしたけど楽しかったです！
ドリンクはソフトドリンクがあるかと思いましたけどお酒が入ったドリンクしかなかったようです。

Expected the glass to be under our feet but we had to get up and look through box, it was ok

Beautiful sights along the waters! Enjoyed every second on the boat. Met some pretty cool people from around the world and had an awesome time just relaxing and taking in the views while having some drinks...aloha

I booked this sunset cruise for my man and I for our last night in Hawaii. I wish we would've done this first!!! But saved the best for last. So much fun and the crew was amazing. Will book again.

I was swayed for longer than I expected. We departed while it was still a bit light out, but it quickly got dark, and the fireworks were really beautiful. Since I participated on the day I arrived in Honolulu, the sway of the boat was pleasantly soothing, and I dozed off a bit due to the time difference... I didn't understand the language, but the atmosphere was good, so I had a great time.

思ったより長い時間揺られていました。
まだ少し明るい時間に出発したけどあっという間に暗くなり、花火もとってもきれいに見れました。今回、ホノルルに到着した日に参加したので時差の関係で船の揺れが心地よくウトウト･･･
言葉は分からなかったけどノリは良かったので楽しかったです。

Friendly fun staff and a fantastic sail even though the sunset was not spectacular.

Last year, I couldn't make a reservation on-site, so this year I booked from Japan. It was more fun than I expected. My parents in their 70s were also able to participate. I recommend it because there are not many Japanese people.

昨年現地で予約が取れなかったので、今年は日本から予約していきました。
予想以上に楽しかったです。７０代の両親も参加出来ました。
日本人が少ないのがお勧めです。

We had a great time on the boat sailing around diamond head and the Waikiki area. The two man crew was super helpful and a joy to be around. There was a variety of beers onboard along with a homemade concoction of mango and a variety of alcohols. Don't exactly know what was in it..but it was fantastic. The boat was fully packed, but we all had a great time riding the waves and enjoying all the views!

It was fun! The actual sunset was after we got off the boat, but it was great for experiencing the atmosphere. The participation rate of Japanese people is lower compared to other activities, so you can feel a sense of being in a foreign country.

たのしかったです！
実際のサンセットは船を降りてからでしたが、雰囲気を味わうにはよかったです。
他のアクティビティより日本人の参加率は低めなので、異国感は感じられます。

I was late for the meeting time, but I was relieved that they welcomed me with a smile. The sunset had nice music, and everyone seemed happy. Besides us, there were other foreigners, which added to the Hawaiian vibe and made it a relaxing experience. There are restrooms available, but they are portable toilets, and you can see from above, which might be a bit embarrassing for those in one-piece swimsuits.

集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが笑顔で迎えてくれて助かりました。
サンセットはいい感じの音楽でみんなが幸せそうでした。
私たち以外、外国人の方で、さらにハワイ感が感じられてゆったりと過ごせました^ ^
トイレもついていますが、簡易トイレでうえからは丸見えです笑
ワンピース型の水着の方はちょっと照れてしまうかもしれません(^ ^)

We had a wonderful time on the Holokai! The captain and crew were very funny and asked many times if they could get us anything. I would highly recommend this. It was one of our favorite activities while in Hawaii.

I previously used a different catamaran during the day, but this one was more affordable, so I decided to use it to watch the sunset. Since it was bright, I usually missed the sunset without realizing it, but this time it was perfect from the water. My child found it amusing to bounce on the safety net last time, so they quickly moved onto the net, but it seems that's not allowed now, and they were warned. Still, they were satisfied sitting at the front and getting soaked from the splashes. It's a must to wear a swimsuit at the front.

子供は前回セフティーネットで跳ねた事が面白かったらしく、早速ネットの上に移動したのですが、今はダメらしく注意されました。
それでも先端に座って飛沫でずぶ濡れになって満足そうでした。
先端は水着で参加がマストですね。

It's was a very fun time. The crew were competent as well as entertaining. The crowd were of varied ages, so it made everyone comfortable and included. A beautiful evening in Waikiki. My wife and I went on the cruise instead of a luau for our 34th anniversary and we have absolutely NO regrets. I highly recommend it

We participated as a family of four. Most of the participants were Westerners, creating an exceptional exotic atmosphere. With Diamond Head in the background and other yachts coming and going in the sunset, it turned out to be the perfect sunset cruise. It was a wonderful memory.

家族4人で参加。ほとんどが西洋人で異国情緒の雰囲気抜群。夕陽にダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに他のヨットが行き来し、これ以上ないサンセットクルーズになりました。素晴らしい思い出です。

We participated as a couple, and about 70% of the passengers were from English-speaking countries. The crew was very attentive, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we didn't feel any language barrier. The cruising experience was very pleasant, and the sunset provided us with a valuable experience. It was such a great time on the Holokai Catamaran that we would love to participate again next time.

私たちは夫婦で参加しました、乗船者の７割くらいの方は英語圏の方でしたが、クルーの気配りも良く言葉のハンデも感じないほど楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。クルージングはとても気持ちよく、サンセットは貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。次回も参加をしたいと思うほど良いホロカイ・カタマラン号です。

This is my fifth time participating! It's become a tradition to join when I'm staying in Honolulu on Fridays! It's the best! Even in summer, it can be cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

今回で５回目の参加です！
金曜に、ホノルル滞在の時は参加するのが定番に！
最高ですよ～
夏場でも寒いので上着は持参をおすすめです。

It was a participation with my friend's 10-year-old twins and the four of us. The weather was cloudy and not very clear, but the little ones seemed to enjoy the boat swaying in the waves, which felt like a roller coaster. It would have been perfect if there were fewer clouds!

友達の10歳の双子と4人での参加でした。
雲が多くスッキリしない天気でしたが、チビッ子たちは波に揺れる船がジェットコースターみたいで楽しかったようです。
これで雲が少なければ最高でした！

Since I participated on Friday night, I was able to enjoy the sunset as well as the Hilton fireworks from the boat, which was wonderful. The staff were all cheerful, and I was able to have a fun time throughout. There was plenty of time, and I was satisfied with being able to leisurely enjoy both the sunset and the night view.

金曜の夜に参加したので、サンセットに加えてヒルトンの花火も船上から見ることができ、とてもよかったです。スタッフの方が皆陽気で、終始楽しい気分で過ごせました。時間がたっぷりあり、夕陽も夜景もゆっくり楽しめて満足でした。

The captain and crew mate were excellent. They were having fun and clearly love their jobs. We had a great time and got to see beautiful sights.

While waiting to depart, I got completely soaked from the waves hitting the shore! If you don't like getting wet, I recommend avoiding the seats in front of the left-side railing. At first, I felt a bit seasick from the rocking, but I gradually got used to it. By the middle of the trip, the wind felt pleasant, the music was uplifting, and interacting with people from different countries was enjoyable. It was really great!

出港待ちの間に、岸に当たった波で、全身ずぶ濡れ！
濡れるのが嫌な方は、左側 手すり前の席は避けた方が良いと思います。
はじめの内は揺れで酔いそうになりましたが、だんだん慣れてきて、中盤を過ぎた頃には、風が心地良く、音楽に心踊り、異国の方達との交流も楽しく、とても良かったです‼︎

THE EXPERIENCE WAS BEYOND GREAT AND ME AND FAMILY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME

I sailed with 15 family members and that made the experience very special. The open bar was less than we expected but the staff was very nice and pretty entertaining.

I could see the Hilton fireworks very well.
The pitch-black Waikiki cruise was mystical.
The all-you-can-drink option was quite difficult to enjoy.

ヒルトンの花火がよく見えました。
真っ暗なワイキキクルーズは神秘的。
飲み放題は中々飲みづらいなあ

Amazing staff! The trip was amazing! The ease of changing a reservation was also a huge plus.
