We participated with two women to enjoy the fireworks from the sea on Friday, October 14th. There were only a few Japanese people. The captain and staff spoke in English, so we managed to order juice by picking up some words. The non-Japanese guests laughed at the captain's jokes and shared drinks with strangers, but we were a bit overwhelmed as we weren't used to such interactions.
The fireworks were not like those in Japan, where there is a pause between bursts; instead, they were flashy and went off in quick succession. They ended in the blink of an eye, but they were impressive. The pleasant sea breeze, lively music, dazzling night scenery, and fireworks all contributed to a memorable page in our Hawaiian experience.
10/14金曜日花火を海上から堪能する!を目的に女性2人で参加しました。
日本人はほんの数人でした。船長やスタッフの会話はもちろん英語なので単語を拾って何とかジュースを注文。
日本人以外の方たちは船長のジョークに笑い、知らない人同士でも杯を酌み交わしていましたが私たちはそういった行為に慣れていなく少し圧倒されました。
花火は日本のように打ち上がっては一拍置くような感じではなく、立て続けに打ち上がる派手な花火。あっという間に終わりますが逆に迫力ありいました。
心地よい海風と軽快な音楽まばゆいばかりの夜景、そして花火。ハワイの思い出の1ページとなりました。

We had everything on our sunset cruise - a sun shower, a beautiful rainbow right over Diamond Head, a magnificent sunset and a full moon. We also had the amazing Dave and Philippe and a great bunch of fellow travellers. The drinks and the fun flowed! We'll definitely recommend this trip to family and friends. We'll be back for another cruise next time we are in Waikiki.

Thank you for contacting me about forgetting the voucher. I had read everything thoroughly, but the meeting place was quite far from what was indicated, and before I knew it, my husband and I were running on the sandy beach. When we finally arrived, it seemed like my name was called out many times, and they said "yu-me-i-jin," which made everyone chuckle. However, it was a lot of fun!
バウチャーを忘れて連絡ありがとうございます。隅から隅までよく読んでいたのです集合場所が表記とはかなり離れていて気がついたら時間ぎりぎり主人と二人で砂浜を走る走るやっとたどり着いたら最後の最後で何度も何度も名前は呼ばれていたらしくyu-me-i-jin

It was absolutely amazing!! The sunset was incredibly beautiful, the atmosphere was fantastic, and both the drinks and snacks were delicious (all-you-can-drink)!!! Plus, the people were kind and friendly, and the captain played a wide variety of music, from romantic tunes to rock, showing great hospitality.
I definitely want to use this service again when I come to Hawaii!

You can relax on a boat and enjoy the night view of Waikiki until the fireworks start. The Hilton's fireworks were launched in rapid succession and were very beautiful. It was quite crowded.

I really like the cruise. I've been on it a couple if times. They always go out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time. The first time we saw whales, the second time we raced another cruise and everybody got involved. The views of Waikiki and Diamond head are amazing.

Since we went to Hawaii for relaxation rather than activities, this was the best attraction for us. Although there were no Japanese participants, there were no situations that particularly required language skills. The staff is kind, so I hope you can participate without worry. The view of the sea and Hawaii from the front of the boat, along with the coolness and beauty unique to the evening, is exquisite! The all-you-can-drink option is also wonderful. I think it would be even more enjoyable with a partner, spouse, or friends.
アクティビティ目的でなく、のんびり目的でハワイに行ったので、我々にとってはこれが一番のアトラクションでした。日本人の参加はないものの特に語学力が必要な場面はないです。スタッフさんも優しいので、心配なく参加してほしいです。船の先頭から眺める海とハワイの眺望、それから夕方ならではの涼しさと美しさは絶品です!飲み放題なのも素敵です。彼氏彼女やご夫婦、友達でいくと、より一層楽しめると思います。

Our family’s first trip to Hawaii and our first sunset cruising!
At first, we were the only Japanese people on board, surrounded by foreigners, and with unlimited drinks, I was a bit anxious and tense about what kind of lively atmosphere the boat would have...
However, once the cruising started, everyone was friendly, and the atmosphere was free and enjoyable for everyone, making it an incredible experience!
We were blessed with wonderful weather and got to see a breathtaking sunset.
As the sun turned into a sunset, we witnessed the moments before it sank, the moment it sank, and after it sank... and then the night view. It was truly moving, and we had a fantastic experience.
To see such postcard-like scenery live, and so close over the ocean... plus, we even saw a rainbow in the distance later on, which was overwhelming.
This has definitely become an activity I want to participate in again when I come back to Hawaii!
家族で初ハワイ、初のサンセットクルージング!
最初は日本人が私たちだけで、外人さんばっかりでお酒飲み放題だったので、どんなノリノリな船になってしまうのか…と、少し不安と緊張感がありました。。
が、いざクルージングがスタートすると、みんなフレンドリーだし、全員が楽しめる、自由な雰囲気で最高に楽しめました!!
そして、天気にすごく恵まれた日で、最高に感動するサンセットを見ることができました。
太陽が夕日になってきて、沈む前、沈む瞬間、沈んだあと、、そして夜景。これは本当に感動もので、良いものを体験させて頂きました。
あんな絵はがきみたいな光景を、生で、しかも海の上のあんな近くで見られるなんて、、しかも、途中から遠くの方で虹を見ることも出来て、感無量でした。
次ハワイに来ても、絶対に参加したいアクティビティになりました!!

I participated in the 5 PM departure.
Spending the evening on the sea in Waikiki was wonderful.
Seeing Diamond Head from the ocean gives a true sense of Waikiki. Also, as the sunset illuminated the sky, the lights of the Waikiki hotels gradually turned on, creating a beautiful scene.
I would like to participate again.

I participated on September 19. It felt like there was light rain every morning and evening, but before the sunset, there was light rain on the mountain side, and several rainbows appeared! We were also able to see a rainbow from the sea near Diamond Head. The sunset was beautiful, but unfortunately, we couldn't see the green flash. There were only two couples of Japanese people, my husband and I, and another newlywed couple. The atmosphere on the boat was very nice, and it was fun with unlimited Mai Tais and other drinks.
9/19に参加しました。毎日、朝夕に小雨が降る感じでしたが、夕陽が沈む前に山側に小雨が降り、虹が何箇所か出現!ダイヤモンドヘッド側の海上からも虹を見ることが出来ました。夕陽も綺麗でしたが残念ながらグリーンフラッシュを見ることは出来ませんでした。日本人は私達夫婦と新婚夫婦の2組みだけ。マイタイ他が飲み放題で船上はとても良い雰囲気で楽しかったです。

I thought a smaller boat, where you can feel closer to the sea, would be better than a large dinner cruise ship, so I chose this one. It was just as impressive as I imagined, and the sunset reflecting on the water was beautiful! I was also able to take photos of surfers nearby from the same eye level. The boat's rocking was not as bad as I had worried, and I didn't get seasick.
The meeting point is a bit hard to find, so I recommend checking it out in advance on Google Maps.
ディナークルーズ船のような大きな船ではなく、
海が近く感じられる小さな船が良いと思い、こちらにしました。
想像通り迫力があり、水面に反射する夕陽が綺麗でとてもよかったです!
サーファー達が近くでサーフィンする様子を同じくらいの目線の高さで写真に撮ることもできました。
心配していた船の揺れもそれほどでもなく、船酔いもせずにすみました。
集合場所が少しわかりづらいので、
グーグルマップで事前に下調べしておくと良いと思います。

The sunset from the sea in Waikiki was amazing. On the day of the cruise, I thought it might be canceled due to rain in the morning, but the rain stopped about two hours before departure, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. I only knew about large ship cruises for sunsets, but the catamaran was just the right size and had a friendly atmosphere, making it very enjoyable. The Mai Tai was also very delicious. I definitely want to see the sunset again next time.
ワイキキの海からのサンセットは最高でした。
当日は、朝から雨で中止ではないかと思っていましたが、、、出航2時間前ぐらいから雨も上がり最高の夕日が見れました。

I had always booked dinner cruises, but I felt disappointed that the cruising would end without seeing the ocean views. That's when I found the sunset sailing. It was our honeymoon, and since it was my husband's first time in Hawaii, I decided to go for it and make a reservation. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, so I was glad I took a walk beforehand to scout it out. You can access it by going through the path between the Sheraton Hotel and Halekulani. Other than us, there were only two other Japanese participants, and the rest were foreigners ( *´꒳`* ). I generally like to visit places with fewer Japanese people when I travel abroad, so I had no hesitation in joining. It's great that Mai Tais are all-you-can-drink! There is a restroom, but I heard it's small, so I didn't drink too much and enjoyed the sunset and the views from the boat while sipping on soft drinks. There is some rocking. When the waves are high, it can be hard to stand. The foreigners were moving around while standing, but since Japanese people tend to be smaller, it's better to stay seated. At sunset, we were in the best position on the water, unfurling the blue sail and turning off the engine to sail only with the wind. The sunset spread out before us, and we had Diamond Head all to ourselves ♡ It was a wonderful tour, and I will participate again!
いつもディナークルーズを予約していたのですが、海の風景を見ずにクルージングが終わってしまうことに残念さを感じていました。そんな時にサンセットセーリングを見つけました。新婚旅行、旦那さんは初めてのハワイだし思い切って予約してみました。集合場所が分かりにくい所にあり事前に散歩がてら探しておいてよかったと思いました。シェラトンホテルとハレクラニの間の小道を入ると行けました。それ以外は日本人の参加者は私達を含め2組で他は外人です( *´꒳`* )元々海外に来たら日本人の少ない場所に行くのが好きなので抵抗もなく参加できました。マイタイが飲み放題なのも嬉しいですね!トイレもありますが、狭いと聞いたのでガブ飲みせず、ソフトドリンクも飲みながらサンセットと船の上からの景色を楽しみました。揺れはあります。波が高い時は立ってられないくらい揺れます。外人は立ってわちゃわちゃ動いてましたが、日本人は小柄なので座ってた方がいいですよ。サンセットの時刻には海のベストポジションでブルーの帆をひらいてエンジンを止めて帆だけで進むんです。目の前に広がるサンセット、ダイヤモンドヘッドを独り占め♡素敵なツアーでした。また参加します!

This April marks my second repeat visit this year. While a pricey dinner cruise is nice, for me, the open-air catamaran cruise swaying with the Hawaiian waves is the best. Unfortunately, there were many clouds, so the sunset wasn't beautiful, but that's part of the charm of travel. I definitely want to repeat this again next time. As I mentioned last time, there are proper restrooms, so you can rest assured...
今年4月に引き続き、今年2回目のリピートです。
高額なお金を払うディナークルーズも良いですが、私には、オープンエアで、ハワイの波に揺られるカタマランクルーズは最高です。
残念ながら、雲が多くてサンセットは綺麗に見れませんでしたが、それも旅の醍醐味。
次回も、またリピートしたいと思います。

Overall it was a fun activity. Clean boat, good drinks, friendly staff, etc. However it was a bit presumptuous on their part to require your picture be taken for an upsell opportunity before you could board the boat. They had all the guests lined up for pictures like grade school photo day. Cheesy! Then of course after the cruise came the sales pitch the second you stepped back on shore. I was literally chased down the beach....LOL. Well it is the 21st century now, so many of us just used our smart phones instead at no additional cost. Other than this odd irritation I had an enjoyable cruise. Thank you.

The fireworks viewed from the boat were amazing, and I also enjoyed a delicious Mai Tai! It seemed like we took a route that we didn't go on during the daytime cruise, going all the way to Ala Moana and the harbor side, which allowed us to see a wonderful atmosphere that we usually don't get to experience.

Warm Aloha Lianna,
We are sorry to hear that you missed the catamaran. The Maitai Catamaran is a very popular activity that perhaps there were fully booked that they could not reschedule you to another date. We hope you were at least able to experience a sunset from the Waikiki Beach.
