Waikiki
Setting sail as the sun begins to set. As we head out to sea, the full view of Waikiki's skyline along with Diamond Head comes into sight. During this time, the sun sets behind the western mountains. By the time the western sky turns orange and the heavens become purple, we arrive at the dock. It's a brief experience, but this tour allows you to enjoy Waikiki from the sea. Give it a try!
陽が傾き始めたころの出航。
沖に出るほどにダイヤモンドヘッドとともにワイキキの街並みの全容が眼に入ってきます。
この時期は、西の山並みに陽が沈みます。
西の空がオレンジ色に、そして天空が紫色になるころ着岸。
僅かな時間ですが海からのワイキキを体験できるツアーです。
一度お試しを。
Open bar, Great mai tai's, beautiful sunset, great crew, good music.
Since we had an all-you-can-drink option, after heading a bit out to sea, everyone except those who couldn't drink was served a Mai Tai. It was sweet and easy to drink.
After that, everyone enjoyed their beers while swaying on the boat, gradually moving away from the shore, and we could see the beautiful Diamond Head in full view. With music playing, we sang together, drank, and enjoyed the sunset, creating a lovely atmosphere and a fun time.
The staff were also very lively, taking photos with us and letting us steer the boat, which was a lot of fun. We even saw a beautiful rainbow.
The sunset was stunning, but even on a cloudy day when the sun wasn't visible, it felt like we could still have a great time on the boat!
私たちは飲み放題だったので、少し沖に出てからまず、飲めない人以外に全員マイタイが配られました。甘くて飲みやすかったです。
そのあとはみなさん自由にビールなどを飲みながら船に揺られ、だんだんと海辺から離れ綺麗にダイヤモンドヘッドが一望出来てきます。
音楽も流れみんなで歌いながら、お酒を飲みながら夕日も見えてきて綺麗な景色と楽しい時間を過ごせました。
スタッフの方々もノリノリで一緒に写真を撮ったり撮ってもらったり、船の操縦をさせてもらったりとても楽しかったです。
さらには綺麗な虹も見えました。
夕日も綺麗ですが、曇って夕陽が見えない日ですら楽しく過ごせそうな船でしたよー!
I participated in June 2023. It was a night cruise with a fireworks viewing. I couldn't understand most of the explanations and safety instructions on the boat since they were all in English, but I could tell that all the passengers were really excited.
After the fireworks, we drifted at sea for nearly an hour, just drinking and having a good time. If you can speak English, I think you would be able to join in on the fun.
I was just trying to cope with seasickness and holding in my need for the restroom. I wasn't sure if there was a restroom on the boat, so I endured until we returned to port. Since drinks are unlimited, I think it's best to check on the restroom situation beforehand.
2023年6月に参加しました。花火鑑賞付きで夜からの乗船でした。船の説明や注意事項はすべて英語でほとんど分かりませんでしたが、乗客全員のテンションが上がっていることはわかりました。
花火後は一時間近く海を漂って、ひたすら飲んで騒ぐといった感じでした。英語が話せる方であれば一緒に騒いで楽しめると思います。
私は船酔いとトイレを我慢することで精一杯でした。トイレは船に設置されているのかわからなかったので、帰港までひたすら耐えておりました。ドリンクが飲み放題なので、トイレの確認はきちんとされたほうが良いと思います。
Went on the Sunset Cruise mid week, spectacular! Was a little concerned about the ‘barefoot cruise’ advice, but all good, it made good sense.
Our Captain (also DJ) & bartender were welcoming, entertaining and inclusive.
We had such a good time, have booked for the Friday night cruise. ✅
Good final for our holiday.
Crew was friendly. Nice music in background.
Mahalo for joining us!
The experience had a little of everything. Great drinks! Great people! An exciting journey around Diamond head, big swells and some splashing! Then when we turned back toward shore it was a lot calmer. The deck hands were out of this world incredible! The sunset was chill and peaceful!
I would do this again in a heartbeat!
By far the best sunset cruise ever!!
Very kind and friendly staff, amazing service. Great vibes. Recommend to bring shoes that you can get wet.
Drinks were great!
Staff were good. Clean boat. Beverage ok. Tour was not interesting.
The crew was awesome. Easy boarding from the beach. The view…stunning!
Price was fair.
Mahalo for joining us!
This is my fourth time using this service, and each time I have had a wonderful experience that has never let me down. While sailing, we encountered a huge rainbow that connected 180 degrees, and afterwards, we all cheered and celebrated wanting to see it again. It was the best experience.
今回4度めの利用ですが毎回期待を裏切らない素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。セイリング中180度つながる大きな虹に遭遇しその後もう一度と皆で歓声を上げて喜びました。最高の体験でした。
This was a perfect activity for our little family! It started to rain in the middle, but we still had a great time! Ended up with a beautiful rainbow! I would definitely recommend!
We are so happy the drizzles brought out a beautiful rainbow! Mahalo for sharing your review!
This was my second time participating. Last time, the weather was so great that I enjoyed taking photos while drinking a Mai Tai, but this time, as soon as we headed out to sea, it got really rough. I got completely soaked and couldn't move because of the rocking, but the staff poured Mai Tais for each of us. There were many foreigners on board, which made it very lively. I switched my mindset and enjoyed it as a soaking wet attraction, making it a memorable experience. It's definitely a good idea to bring a towel and a jacket.
2回目の参加です。前回があまりにもお天気に恵まれ、マイタイを飲みながら、写真撮影を楽しみましたが、今回は沖に出た途端に大荒れでした。びしょ濡れになり、揺れで移動ができずにいたら、スタッフさんが一人一人にマイタイ注いでくれました。船上は外人が多かったこともあり、とても賑やかです。
気持ちを切り替え、びしょ濡れアトラクションとして楽しみ、思い出に残る体験になりました。
タオルと上着は絶対に持って行った方がいいです。
I have been coming to Hawaii for about 30 years and this was my first time participating. There were only my husband and me as Japanese people, and everyone around us was foreign, but everything, including Waikiki and Diamond Head viewed from the sea, was fresh and very enjoyable! I definitely want to participate again.
ハワイには30年程前から何十回と来ていますが、今回はじめて参加してみました。
日本人は私達夫婦しかおらず、周りは全て外国の方ばかりでしたが、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド等全て新鮮でとても楽しめました!
また是非参加したいと思います。
Incredible experience! There were 10 of us of different ages celebrating my daughter's graduation The team treated everyone with respect. helped grandpa get up and down of a catamaran.And by an amazing coincidence, the sails on the catamaran are the colors of the Ukrainian flag,we are originaly from Ukraine. it was very nice.
Thank you guys!
Great time a sunset cruise was fun and relaxing at the same time!!
The crew was amazing and wonderful. They went out of their way to make sure you felt welcomed, drinks were awesome and Josiah entertained and took pictures of all the guests! This crew works tirelessly to ensure all the guests have an amazing time on their boat! We would this trip again in a heartbeat! The viewing of the sunset was spectacular!
My boyfriend and I had a great time on this catamaran. Great music and generous with drinks too lol. The drinks weren’t very strong, it was mostly juice but not a big deal. Super great price. Would go again!
It was my first time on a catamaran, and I enjoyed the beautiful views without feeling seasick. The staff were friendly, taking photos and conversing in Japanese, which showed their hospitality. It was refreshing to see Diamond Head from the sea, and the moment the sunset occurred was truly moving. I would like to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii.
カタマラン、初めてだったのですが酔うこともなく終始美しい眺めを堪能できました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーで写真を撮ってくれたり、日本語で会話してくれたりとホスピタリティーに溢れていました。ダイヤモンドヘッドを海上から眺めるのは新鮮でしたし、何より夕陽が落ちる瞬間が感動的でした。またハワイに来た時は利用したいと思います。
The crew speaks in fast English, and I don't understand at all. I was completely ignored. I couldn't enjoy it at all. I learned the location of the restroom by watching other people go, and I didn't understand the safety instructions, yet I was made to sign a waiver before boarding. In Japan, they would at least be a little accommodating to tourists. Here, there is none.
クルーは早口の英語で話しますが、全くわかりません。完全無視されます。
まったく楽しめませんでした。
トイレの場所は、他の人が行くのを見てしりましたし、安全の説明はわからないままなのに、乗船前には、免責のサインかかされました。
日本なら観光客に少しくらい寄り添ってくれます。
ここでは、皆無
Everything was in English, which was difficult for me, but a Japanese person who was with us was fluent in English and helped me a lot. It was a bit disappointing that there were some clouds, but it was a very Hawaiian tour.
全て英語で、私には難しかったですが、一緒に居てくださった日本人の方が、英語達者な方で色々教えて頂き助かりました。やや雲があったのは残念でしたが、とてもハワイらしいツアーでした。
The cruise was perfect. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening. Highly recommend.
Mahalo for joining us!
The sailing was just over an hour from Waikiki Beach, and we were blessed with great weather and the best location! We were lucky to see tuna, dolphins doing flips, and a mother and baby dolphin jumping as well. The Mai Tai service was good. We were the only Japanese guests, but everyone was friendly, and we had a wonderful time!
ワイキキビーチから1時間ちょっとのセーリング⛵天気にも恵まれ最高のロケーションでした!マグロにイルカの回転ジャンプやイルカ親子のジャンプも見る事が出来てラッキーでしたマイタイのサービスもgood️日本人客は私達だけでしたが、皆さんフレンドリーでとても楽しめました✨
We loved our sunset sail. The staff was knowledgeable and fun. They took the time to answer any questions. They always had our safety in mind. I would highly recommend this tour.
Mahalo for trusting us to host your tour!
The captain's notes were excellent. I laughed a lot. The conversations with the other passengers were friendly and enjoyable, and I felt relaxed. I will definitely ride again on my next visit to Hawaii.
船長の注意事項が最高です。笑いまくりです。同乗の他のお客さんとの会話もフレンドリーで楽しく、くつろげました。次回のハワイ訪問でも、また乗ります。
After making a reservation through VELTRA, I received an SMS with information in English about the meeting place and consent form. It might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English.
On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy and it was quite windy, which caused the boat to sway a lot, and I felt seasick the entire time. Although drinks were unlimited, I didn't feel like drinking alcohol in such rough conditions, so it was hard to get my money's worth.
Because of the clouds, I couldn't see much of the sunset either. Overall, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointing trip.
VELTRA経由で予約した後にSMSで英語の集合場所や同意書に関する案内が来ました。英語がわからないとややハードルが高いかもしれません。
乗った日の天候は曇りかつ風が強かったためか、船がものすごく揺れまして、始終船酔いでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、この揺れの中でお酒をガンガン飲む気分にはなれず、元を取るのは難しいと思われます。
曇りのためあまり夕日も見れず。
ちょっとがっかりな旅になりました。

Aloha Yukuri,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry you did not enjoy your time onboard with us! If needed, we do have Japanese Waivers available at check-in. We also sail rain or shine! Only in cases where the captain deems it 'un-sailable' is when we would cancel. Weather in Hawaii can be a little unpredictable at times.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you would like to discuss anything further.
Mahalo,

My husband and my two boys and I went on a sunset cruise and had a fantastic time. We got to drink our own drinks so we didn’t have the watered down stuff. They usually serve on these types of cruises. The crew was incredibly friendly. We saw a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows.
The first time I saw the fireworks, it was great, but afterwards it was just drifting, so I think it would have been better if it had been shorter. Also, the music was loud like rock, and more relaxing music would have helped me unwind.
最初に花火を見た時は良かったが、その後は漂っているだけだったので、もっと短い時間で良かったと思う
また音楽もロックの様なうるさいもので、もっとゆったりした音楽の方がリラックス出来た
I signed up to experience something I usually wouldn't do in Japan. Unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, and we didn't get to see a beautiful sunset, but I had so much fun that I forgot about that. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was like a "Wanko Mai Tai" instead of "Wanko Soba," with Mai Tais being poured one after another. They also give you small bags of snacks, which makes you want to drink more.
There weren't many Japanese participants, but the receptionist, Miko, spoke Japanese. The staff's talk on the boat was in English, so I regretted not understanding the witty jokes. Next time, I want to join the fireworks sailing.
普段日本ではやらないことを体験したくて申し込みました。
生憎参加した日は雲が多く、きれいなサンセットではありませんでしたが、そんなこと忘れるくらい楽しかったです。
飲み放題アルコールは、マイタイが次々注がれる『わんこ蕎麦』ならぬ『わんこマイタイ』状態。スナック菓子の小袋がもらえるのでまたお酒が進みます。
日本人参加者はほとんどいませんが、受付のミコ嬢は日本語OKでした。
船上でのスタッフさんのトークは英語なので、軽妙なジョークが分からなかったのは悔しいなぁ。
次回は花火のセーリングに参加したいです。
I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.
