Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Sunset Cocktail Cruise

Reviewed by: Kay

We had so much fun on the cruise! We sat in the nets and had a terrific view plus great conversation with a family next to us. I think we had the best seats on the boat. The crew was funny, kind and helpful. I highly recommend it!

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

Shop around for other companies

Reviewed by: Shauna

After my group was picked up another couple was picked up. I was disappointed because they were picked up across the street from the condo we were staying at. My group had to take a 15 minute walk to The pick up location that they told us. We could have slept in a little bit later and had breakfast. The ride to Diamondhead was simple and quick. Once you get to the location they do you have food trucks if you want to grab food or something to drink. As we were entering we were ask for tickets. Our driver did not give us the tickets to enter the hiking trail. We called the company no one answered and we did not have the phone number to the shuttle driver. The staff at Diamondhead did not want to let us in. however after taking sympathy on as they were nice and let us in. They could have said no and we would have to have sat in front of Diamondhead for 2 1/2. If you book with this company make sure your driver gives you your blue ticket for entry into the park.

After the hike it was a madhouse because the afternoon tours were coming in and the morning tours were going out. I received a phone call and it was a new shuttle driver who was supposed to take us to our original shuttle driver because he was caught in some type of traffic. It was a tight squeeze because this new shadow was much smaller than the ones that we came in on. The drive was really nice he gave us kind of like a sightseeing tour as we were going to the drop off location. We all get out and we’re kind of just standing around waiting. He tells us that the original shuttle driver is coming (he never showed). For people decided not to continue on with the second hike. So the shuttle driver said that instead of us waiting he could take us now because it was a smaller group. This isn’t their first time doing these tour so I would have expected things to run a lot smoother. I do recommend shopping around for different tour companies.

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Not what we expected

Reviewed by: Kelli

We had a lot of issues finding the place we needed to check into the sail. The restaurant you need to go to is marked on Google maps but there is no street signs for it so it's very easy to miss. We drove past the alley you need to walk down twice. It's located in the busiest part of town and if you miss it, it takes about 10 minutes to loop back around due to the amount of traffic and one-way streets. After finding the alley, we realized the restaurant had no designated parking. We called the restaurant who informed us we would need to valet at the hotel out front which was a mess and about 15 cars backed up on the street. We were going to miss checking due to the nightmare that came with finding this place so we sent half our group on the sail, the other half stayed behind so our driver wouldn't be alone. They sold our remaining seats to walk ups and didn't refund our money. The sail itself is not as advertised and not appropriate for children. We were expecting a peaceful sunset cruise that was appropriate for children since we are allowed to bring them. While the ocean views were stunning, the sail is more of a party cruise with a bunch of drunk adults and very loud music. Overall, this excursion was a bust for our family.

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Relaxed sunset sail!

Reviewed by: Mariam

I had a blast on this sunset sail. It was the perfect "pau hana" (happy hour, end of work day)!

For drinks, they had cocktails, beer, wine, & non-alcoholic drinks. I really liked the appetizers (chicken, rice, and veggies). It was just the right amount of food to go with the Mai Tais that I had!

This is a docked catamaran. Unlike beach catamarans, you will not have to walk knee-deep in the water to board the boat. You'll be perfectly dry as you board the boat on the pier (as seen in the photo). This makes it a great choice for those who want to dress up a bit for the sunset sail, those traveling with little ones, guests with mobility issues, etc.

I loved that this was conveniently located in WAIKIKI! It's right at the Hilton Hawaiian Village (not to be confused with the Hilton Waikiki - which is a different hotel).

  • Boarding the catamaran

  • Loved being out on the water!

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Don’t waste your time!

Reviewed by: RAP

Overall disappointing. When I think “sunset cruise”, I was thinking something dressier, as were most of the passengers. Instead, we had to run through the surf to get onto the catamaran (no dock), getting wet and dirty in the process. The boat is leaky in the sense the water splashes through holes on the main deck, making you wet even if you’re not sitting on the edge of the boat. The “cocktails” consist of only two options: Mai Tais or beer, that’s it. The crew was pleasant, but over all, it was nothing like I expected.

Pink Sails Waikiki 2-Hour Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise with Light Snacks from Ala Wai Harbor

Not Much To See

Reviewed by: BeeKae

The worst snorkel tour I’ve ever been on as far as what a person was able to see under the water. My husband didn’t see a single fish. The kids and I saw two species. A black fish and a striped fish..literally two fish of each kind. Water is too cloudy to see much. I don’t believe there is really much to see even if the water were clear. No reef in sight. Way too many tourists from about 5 different boats all dropped off to snorkel at the same spot so people are constantly getting in each other’s way. I never saw a turtle except the one from the boat when we first pulled up. BEST part was the crew and the sail after the snorkel. The crew was wonderful. Brandon was super funny. Ryan and Mike both nice guys. They all work hard. Maybe it was just a poor day at sea for seeing much in the water, but I wouldn’t do it again. A sunset sail with them would be great since the sailing was the best part and the crew is awesome. But if you’re hoping to see a lot of fish and turtles while snorkeling, don’t expect it here. Wish I could get a refund.

Wonderful experience!

Reviewed by: Heather

Parasailing was amazing! We were a party of 8 including my 7 year old grandson. The experience was perfect for our family and our captain adjusted the ride appropriately for each group of our riders (some were gently dipped and others had a more thrilling experience). It was obvious our captain and crew knew what they were experienced. I recommend getting the pictures. We would definitely do again
