All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

In the evening, we set sail from the beach. We were the only Japanese people there, and it was nice that both the staff and the other guests were foreigners. It might have been even more fun if I understood English... We enjoyed a leisurely cruise while drinking and listening to music, waiting for the sunset. The wind felt really nice and it was the best! In January, the wind was a bit chilly, so a windbreaker came in handy. I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

夕方、ビーチから出航しました。
日本人は私たちしかおらず、スタッフもお客さんも外国人ばかりで良かったです。英語が分かればもっと楽しかったかも…。
お酒を飲み、音楽を聞きながらゆっくりとクルージングしてサンセットを待ちました。風がとっても気持よくて最高でした！！1月は少し風が冷たかったのでウインドブレーカーが役立ちました。
また、ハワイに行ったら参加したいです！！

I was drawn in by the reasonable price and participated, and it was really great! The staff seemed to not understand Japanese, but they were very considerate, and I felt a bit sorry about that. I don't understand much English, but I managed somehow. I think there were five of us Japanese: a mother and daughter, and three young women. The registration was at the beach behind the hotel, and more people kept joining on the day.

You can wear anything, even swimsuits! It's better if your pants are short (above the knee). Even though I'm not good at socializing with everyone, I felt very happy just gazing at the sea and the sunset.

Thank you so much to the staff for being considerate to the Japanese mother and daughter. I would love to participate again next time.

リーズナブルなお値段にひかれ参加しましたが　とてもよかったです！　スタッフの方も日本語はわからないようでしたが　とても気を使って下さり　申し訳ないほどです。英語はあまりわかりませんが何となく大丈夫でした。日本人は私たち親子（母娘）と3人の若い女性の5人だったと思います。ホテルの裏のビーチで受付をしていて当日参加でどんどん人が増えていきました。
服装は水着でも何でもＯＫ！　パンツは短いほうがいいです。（ひざ上の）
あまりみんなとワイワイするのが苦手の私もぼんやり海や夕日を眺めいてとても幸せな気分でした。
スタッフの方　日本人母娘に気を使ってくださり本当にありがとうございました。次回もまた参加したいです。

We went out to sea on a catamaran yacht from Waikiki Beach and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. Plus, we had Mai Tais while doing it! It was such a pleasant experience. I would love to join this program again when I visit Hawaii!

ワイキキビーチから、カタマランヨットで沖に出て、キレイなサンセットを眺める。しかもマイタイを飲みながら！！
とても気持ちのよいプランでした~。
またハワイに行ったら、参加したいプログラムです！

My boyfriend and I went on the sunset cruise, and loved it. Thanks to the staff who were great and esspecially the bar man. We had read some reviews that some people felt because it was free drinks the bar man was a bit slow. Not at all the case. As soon as we put our empty shaker on our head he ran over and filled it up:)
Great cruise and we were treated to an awesome sunset. Thanks again guys we hope to do it again one day.
Also our cruise left at 5pm so a word of warning given that the drinks are free and the bar man so efficient (we were happy to tip for such a great service) do try to have an early dinner as we may have gotten a little carried away with drinking which is not a great idea on an empty tummy :)

Like always this is well worth your time and money!! I've been on this 4 times and everytime is a awesome time. See you next time :)

Among the middle-aged foreigners, there were just the two of us Japanese (we're middle-aged too...). The speed was more thrilling than I expected. The foreigners were really into it, but we could barely keep up! I think young people would really enjoy it.

中年の外人さんの中に日本人は私たち二人（私たちも中年ですが・・・）。
思ったよりスピードが出ていてスリリングでした。
外人さんはノリノリでしたが私たちは付いていくのがやっと！
若者は楽しめると思いますよ。

The sunset is amazing! The vibe with the Americans is great too! The bartender is super handsome. It might be good to wear something like a swimsuit and sweatpants.

サンセット最高!米国人のノリも最高!バーテンダーさん、めっちゃイケメン。服装は水着にスエット程度がよいかもです。

It was my first time trying a catamaran. There are many types of catamarans, and we chose this one for our trip. Since we don't drink alcohol, we only had soft drinks, but the scenery was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and we had a wonderful time. There were very few Japanese people. You get quite wet, but that also became a fun memory.

初めてのカタマラン挑戦でした。何種類もあるカタマランから今回こちらを選びました。私たちはお酒が呑めないので、ソフトドリンクだけでしたが、景色も最高、ノリも最高で楽しい時間を過ごせました。日本人、めっちゃ少ないですよ。いっぱい濡れます。それも楽しい思い出になりました。

I had been planning where to watch the sunset in Hawaii even before my trip, and I decided on this cruise, which turned out to be a great choice. Watching the sunset surrounded by the ocean while out on the boat was exceptional! The food was delicious, and enjoying the sunset while dining felt luxurious. The atmosphere was perfect and it was amazing.

ハワイの夕陽をどこで見ようかと旅行前から計画を練っていたところ、こちらのクルーズを見つけ決めましたが、やはり、よかったです。
船で沖へ出て、海に囲まれて見る夕陽は格別！食事もおいしかったし、食事をしながら眺める夕陽は贅沢な感じがしました。
ムード満点でサイコーでした。

Overall, it was great. I had always wanted to ride on a catamaran since I was interested in its structure, and this cruise, which offered both fireworks and a sunset, seemed perfect, so I decided to go with this one. The food was delicious, and the boat was clean, which was nice. I had a lot of fun. The fireworks in Hawaii were just as splendid as those in Japan. This year, I missed the fireworks festival in Japan, so I was able to make up for it in Hawaii, and on top of that, I had the best experience with a cruise and meals included. I definitely want to participate again next time. I never get tired of it.

とにかくよかったです。カタマラン船の構造に興味があったので、１度は乗ってみようと思っていましたが、特に花火と夕陽をセットで見れるこちらのクルーズがよさそうだったので、こちらに決めました。食事もおいしかったし、船も清潔でよかったです。とても楽しめました。ハワイの花火も日本に負けず劣らず、とても華やかでよかったです。今年は日本の花火大会をのがしてしまったので、ハワイで挽回できて、しかもクルーズ船の上・食事付という、最高の体験ができました。
また次回も是非こちらに参加したいです。何度でも飽きませんね。

The gradually changing colors of the sea were wonderful. The food was also very delicious, and the Spirit of Aloha was a great yacht. Above all, the staff were very welcoming, which made me feel at ease. I had been looking forward to this since before leaving Japan, and it exceeded my expectations. Watching the sunset from the edge of the boat with a glass in hand felt like a scene from a movie, and it was delightful. I think I might get hooked on this (laughs).

だんだん変る海の色が素敵でした。お料理もとてもおいしかったし、スピリット・オブ・アロハ号もとてもよいヨットでした。何よりスタッフの方がアットホームで、安心できました。日本を出発する前からとても楽しみにしていたのですが、予想以上によかったです。グラス片手に船縁で夕陽を眺めたら映画のワンシーンのようで、気持ちよかったです。
やみつきになりそうです（笑）

It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.

今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした！ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火！船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

I wanted to express my gratitude and share my experience. It was really wonderful. The sunset was amazing, and the view of the lights on Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful. The food was delicious, and everything was great. I'm so glad I participated! The refreshing sea breeze was pleasant, and I savored my happiness. Thank you so much to the staff on the boat who took care of us.

感謝したくて体験談投稿しました。
とってもよかったです。サンセットも素晴らしかったし、海から眺める灯りの点るワイキキビーチもきれいで、食事もおいしかったし、何もかもよかったです。
参加してほんとよかった！吹く潮風も心地よくて、幸せを噛み締めました。
お世話して下さった船のスタッフの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!

The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!

初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動！
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした！

サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです！

I made a reservation because I wanted to watch the sunset over the sea, and I'm so glad I did.

The gentle waves, the sea breeze, the sunset sinking beyond the horizon, and the white boat all created an amazing atmosphere—it was the best.

Being out on the sea, away from the beach, felt like I was having the sunset all to myself; there’s no greater luxury than that.

The food was delicious, and everyone on board, including the staff, was so nice, which allowed me to truly enjoy this cruise.

It was a wonderful memory.

夕日を海の上で眺めたいと思い、予約しましたが、申し込んでよかったです。

波の揺れと、潮風と、水平線の彼方に沈んでいく夕日と、白い船と、何もかもがムードを盛り上げて、最高でした。

ビーチから離れて海の上にいると、夕日を独り占めしているようで、これ以上の贅沢はないですね。

食事もおいしく、乗り合わせた人達も、船のスタッフも、みないい人ばかりだったので、このクルーズを心から楽しむことが出来ました。

いい思い出です。

I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.

I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.

We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.

And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.

申し込んで正解、最高でした。

ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。

沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。

そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。

We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします（^^）
家族で一緒にヨット（船？）に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!

It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.

ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです！
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい！

本当にサイコーでした！これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。

I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.

The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.

The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!

Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.

せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。

海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。

船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね！

ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and it was amazing. I'm so glad I signed up!! The sunset over the Hawaiian sea was so moving that I felt like I could cry. As I was savoring my happiness, there were fireworks next... I couldn't help but wonder if I could be this happy... and tears came to my eyes. It’s a memory I will never forget. The food was delicious too!

初めてのハワイでしたが、最高でした。申し込んでよかったです！！
ハワイの海のサンセットは、感動で涙が出そうでした。幸せをかみしめていたら、今度は花火が…。こんなに幸せでいいのだろうか…と涙が出てしまいました。一生忘れられない思い出です。食事もおいしかったです！

Great value & most enjoyable! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time :)

Def must do for the price offered. I went by myself and couldn't have had a more peaceful time to enjoy the view. The staff was great, 'Rabbit' is single btw and they offer great service. They offered to take pictures of me, played some music, offfered drinks as well. I couldnt have had a more delightful time.

Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.

A 90 min sailing with a small catamaran sometimes tipped by the waves, a fun crew (you tip them) and a great view of Honolulu and Diamond Head. Well worth the money, plus your Keiki go for free and the crew is experienced to handle them.

Be there in time as it slightly changes docking site on the beach according to the tide. Also, be prepared to get wet. If you arrive too early, start your adventure with a great MaiTai in the Outrigger bar for just $3.50 (till 5 pm).

I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.

英語があまり出来ないので心配でしたが、
参加してみると、スタッフの方が親切に飲み物を出して下さり、景色も最高で、とても素敵な経験をすることが出来ました。日本人は、私たちの家族だけでした。

It is a lot of fun and a perfect way to end the day. The crew really makes this trip worth while - Captain John and Rabbit were AWESOME!!!

It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!

For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!

想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。（おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、
何かちょっとしたスナック菓子とかあるとより楽しいかも）
４月の日の入りは、１９時！これだと、スケジュールにあった時間ではなく、サンセットがうまく見れないのかと
思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
１７：３０出港、１９：３０戻りといった具合に
２時間近くクルージングを楽しめました！
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。
私達家族５人しか日本人がおらず、船上での注意事項
（踏み入れちゃいけない場所等の説明があったらしい）も
全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で
紙でも渡してくださるといいのでは。。。と思いました。
ノリがいい音楽がたくさんかかり、
気がつけば、父まで踊りだす始末！

この価格で、フリードリンクであの楽しさは、かなりコスパいいですよ！オススメです！

I participated on the last day of my stay. I took part in various activities, but this one felt the most Hawaiian. The waves weren't too high, and the surface of the water felt very close, which was pleasant! The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

滞在中の最終日に参加しました。他のアクティビティにもいろいろ参加しましたが、一番ハワイらしかったような気がします。波もそれほど高くなくて、海面がすぐ近くに感じられて気持ちよかったです！スタッフの方にも親切に対応していただきました。

We gathered at 2:30 PM and departed at 3 PM! We were told to be punctual, but when I rushed in at 2:30, I got a Hawaiian response: "Oh, just sitting on the beach." It made me feel the pressure of time that Japanese people often experience.

We left a little after 3 PM and enjoyed about an hour of fun. At first, we started the engine to set sail, but once we were out at sea, we raised the sails and let the wind take us. The views of Hawaii were a different experience compared to the scenery seen from larger boats during whale watching. On the yacht, various cocktails and beers were available, and enjoying a drink while feeling the sun and wind was incredibly refreshing! We ventured further out than I expected and enjoyed a panoramic view of Honolulu. I definitely plan to participate again on my next visit to Hawaii.

Considering that the day after we boarded, the tsunami from the Chile earthquake prevented access to the sea, we were very lucky.

２時半集合、３時出発！　時間厳守！　との事でしたが、２時半に走って行ってら「あ。ビーチで座っていて~」　っとハワイアンな答えが！　ついつい時間に追われてしまっている日本人を感じてしまいました。
３時過ぎに出発し、約１時間程　楽しませてもらいました。
最初はエンジンをかけて出航していましたが、沖に出ると後は帆を張り風まかせ。　ホエールウォッチングなどの大きな船から見る景色とは、また一味違う　ハワイの景色を楽しませてもらいました。　ヨット内では、数種類のカクテル、ビールが販売されていて、太陽＆風　を感じながらのアルコールは格段に美味しい♪　思ってたよりも沖に出てホノルルの景色を一望して楽しませてもらいました。　次回のハワイ訪問時にも　是非　参加させてもらう予定です。
私たちが乗船した翌日は、チリ地震の津波で海に近寄れなかったのを考えると、とっても運が良かったのかも。

We boarded a yacht from the calm Waikiki Beach.

Onboard with us were a couple who had been swimming near the yacht before departure, and a relaxed foreign couple enjoying their retirement.

The yacht is equipped with seats, but we chose to sit on the net that can hold people, peering into the sea as we slowly set off!

I thought we would be gently swaying while looking into the water and gazing at Waikiki Beach, but to my surprise!

We sped off towards the vast ocean, feeling the wind and splashes of water all over, which instantly boosted our excitement!

I couldn't help but hope, "Maybe we'll see dolphins or whales!" as we ventured further out.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins or whales, but when we returned near Waikiki Beach, we encountered a sea turtle!

Isn't the sea turtle a symbol of happiness?? Watching it poke its head out and swim around was incredibly soothing!

For those who, like me, have never been on a yacht, I think just being on it is plenty of fun. You should definitely give it a try!

穏やかなワイキキビーチからヨットに乗り込みます。

一緒に乗船したのは、出発前までヨットの近くで
泳いでいたカップルや、リタイヤして悠々自適な
カンジの外国人夫婦などなど。

ヨットにはイスも備え付けられているのだけど、
人が乗っても大丈夫なネットの上に座って、
海の中を覗きながら、ゆっくりと出発進行！

「穏やかに揺られながら、海の中を覗き込んだり、
ワイキキビーチを眺めたりするんだろうな~」と
思いきや！

すっごい勢いで大海原に向かって走っていくので、
風や水飛沫を全身に感じることができて一気に
テンションアップ↑↑

「イルカとかクジラとか見れないかね~」と
期待しちゃうくらい沖にでます。

残念ながらイルカもクジラも見れなかったですが、
ワイキキビーチ近くまで帰ってきたときに、
ウミガメに遭遇しました！

ウミガメは幸せの象徴でしたっけ？？
頭をチョコンと出して、プカプカ泳いでるのを
間近で眺めて、すごーく癒されました！

私のように、ヨットに乗った経験がない方は、
乗るだけでも十分楽しいと思います。
一度体験されてみては？
