The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.
It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.
While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.
However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...
とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。
日本人以外の方が多く(日本人:日本人以外=1:4ぐらい)、交流ができてよかったです。(ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑)
クルーの方もみなさん親切でよくしていただきました。
大きな船でのディナークルーズもいいですが、少人数でゆったりとなごやかなクルーズもよいと思います。
ただ食事(肉系が・・・)がすぐになくなってしまい思う存分は食べられませんでした・・・。

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!

My mom has never gone sailing before, so what an absolute treat this was to bring her on a Sunset Sail with me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single minute of it. It wasn't one of those Booze Cruises where everyone is loud and getting their fill of free booze, this one I was able to relax with my daughter, enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.
The crew mates were so friendly, drinks were top notch, and the Spirit of Aloha is in great shape to handle the open sea!
I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and simple sunset cocktail sail!

Overall a great value and great time. Our 19 year old daughters were a bit bored. Can't blame them... They were jealous. The drinks were flowing and the captain and bartender did a great job keeping everyone topped off! Ship was beautiful. Nice circuit of the cruise around Waikiki and Diamond Head. Reccomend highly.

I participated alone. It was more fun than I expected. I really felt like I was in Hawaii!
Once on board, the crew started talking about safety instructions. I couldn't understand anything they were saying... ^_^;
After a while, they served everyone cocktails in cups, and the crew came around multiple times for refills.
I also went to the restroom. No one seemed to have used it, so it was very clean that day. However, it was quite narrow! Since you have to use a vertical ladder, it might be difficult for those with mobility issues...
Next time I come to Hawaii, I will definitely ride this catamaran again! Wait for me! (laughs) THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ
一人で参加しました。
思っていた以上に、楽しかったです。
ハワイに来たんだーーー♪と実感してきました。
乗船すると、クルーの人が注意事項等を話し出します。
何を言っているかさっぱりわかりませんでした・・・^_^;
そして、しばらくすると、カップに入ったカクテルを全員に振る舞ってくれて、お代わりは、わざわざクルーの人が何度も、回ってきてくれました。
トイレも行って来ました。だれも、使用していなかったのか、その日は、とてもキレイでした。
ただ、とても狭い! はしご階段(垂直)を使うので、足の悪い方は、大変かも・・・。
次回ハワイに来たら、またこのカタマランに乗りに行きます!待っててね!(笑)
THANK YOUーーー♪♪♪ヽ(^0^)ノ

Christine was super cool at the check-in, she was so joyful and fired-up, loved this cruise! On-board crew was amazing and the drinks kept coming and coming. What a night - hahahaha! Yeah, WHAT A NIGHT! If you are in Waikiki you will WANT to take a sail out ... I went on a few and this one - by far - had the biggest drink cups!

My friend decided to do this cruise and so we went along. We all had an incredible time! While we were sailing out in the deep blue ocean enjoying our tasty drinks and listening to the tunes, it just automatically becomes the perfect combination to get everyone in a mood to socialize, move around and even dance on-board! The best part about the whole cruise was the gorgeous sunset (besides the OPEN bar).
I would definitely recommend this to my friends and to everyone I know!! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
Sailing + Drinks + Friends = GOOD TIMES!

As mentioned in other reviews, most participants were foreigners. On the day we attended, I believe there was only one other Japanese group besides us.
After departing from Waikiki Beach, there is a safety briefing and a drink explanation, all in English. Once the explanation is over, drinks are served, and then you can relax while watching the sunset.
On the day we participated, it started off sunny, but it became cloudy, and unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely and elegant time out in the waters off Waikiki. The young foreign girls were dancing with drinks in hand the whole time! Don't worry if you can't speak English at all! With so few Japanese people around, you can really feel like you're abroad.
Please make sure to use the restroom before boarding! You should assume there is no restroom on the boat. (There is one, but it has a terrible smell, and you really have to brace yourself to use it...) Well, it's for emergencies!
But other than that, it was fantastic! The next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely sign up again!
他の方の口コミにもあるように、参加者の大半の方が外国人でした。私たちが参加したこの日も、日本人は私たち以外に1組だけだったと思います。
ワイキキビーチを出発すると、安全確認の説明と、ドリンクの説明があります。全て英語です。その説明が終わると、ドリンクが配られ、あとはサンセットを見ながらのんびりです。
私たちが参加したこの日は、最初は晴れていたのですが、途中から曇ってしまい、あいにくキレイなサンセットは見れませんでした。でも、ワイキキの沖でゆっくりのんびり、優雅な時間を過ごせました。外人の若い女の子たちは、終始お酒片手に踊っていましたよ☆ 英語ができなくても全然大丈夫!日本人が少ないので、外国を感じることができます。
くれぐれも、乗船する前にトイレは済ませて下さい!船にはトイレが無いと思った方がいいです。(あるにはあるけど、ひどい悪臭で、相当覚悟しないと入れないと思います・・・) まぁ、緊急用ですね!
でもそれ以外は最高です!
次回ハワイに行ったら、必ずまた申し込みます☆

I picked this cruise because I wanted to get out and do something for the Fourth of July, but I didn't want the hassle of dealing with huge crowds of people, fighting traffic, and being around a bunch of screaming teenagers running around.
This was the perfect choice for me. I am a big guy, so I like to eat...buffet style all the way, and I am a happy man. So the food was good. Drinks were available at reasonable prices, and the best part was nobody seemed to be there to get drunk, but just enjoyed some drinks and the night. The fireworks were the best ending to a good night. I made a great choice, obviously.

I took my sister on this sail last night..and this is by far the best sail (tour wise) this island has to offer. Tropical winds, beautiful deep blue ocean and amazing hawaiian coastal scenery.
Crew on-board both the Spirit of Aloha and Honi Olani are superb and exceed your service expectations. Fortunately, for the adult beverage people, this became an Open bar sail (Beer is usually $1 and mixed drinks are $2) but this is because the boat departed late.
No one comes on-board to get drunk or rowdy..we were all in silent agreement to enjoy our drinks, enjoy our scrumptious dinner and have a wonderful time.. everyone on-board did just that.
Everyone who boarded the vessel were strangers, but we all became friends by the end of the night. Thank You Hawai' Nautical for a wonderful evening of good food, drinks, friendly conversations and laughter.

It was my honeymoon! I was torn between this and a three-star option, but I definitely think this one is better. There are crew members who are second-generation Japanese, so language is not a problem at all, which is reassuring. The ship is smaller than I expected (it has sails) and feels like a luxurious cruise.
The food is a buffet. You can take whatever you like whenever you want, but there are no refills, so if you don't eat the good stuff early on, it will be gone (laughs). However, overall, the flavors are delicious even for Japanese people, and I enjoyed a lot of it! (Desserts are served later too☆)
The sunset is truly beautiful! There’s nothing obstructing the fireworks, so it’s really nice.
On the last day of my honeymoon, I made some wonderful memories!
ハネムーンでした!
スリースターと迷ったんですが、断然こっちのほうがいいとおもいます♪日系二世のクルーがいるので、言葉も全く問題なく安心です。思ったよりはだいぶ小さい船(帆が付いています)でお金持ちのクルージングって感じ。
料理はビュッフェ?です。好きな時に好きなモノを取って食べる感じですが、追加はないので、最初の方に食べないと美味しいモノはなくなります(笑)でも、全体的に日本人にも美味しい味付けで沢山いただきました♪(後でデザートも出てきます☆)
夕日はほんとに綺麗です!花火も遮るものが何もないのでとてもいいです☆

It was an evening cruise, and I had a really great time. At first, it was fine to wear a short-sleeved shirt since the sun was out, but as we went out to sea, it gradually got colder. I think it's a good idea to prepare something to wear over your clothes. Also, when you get on the boat, your feet will get wet, so wearing shorts or capri pants is best. The captain tells American jokes and sometimes uses Japanese.
夕方のクルージングでしたが、とてもとても楽しめました。
最初は日が出ていたため半袖で平気でしたが、海へ出て徐々に寒くなってきます。何か羽織る服を準備するといいと思います。
あとボートに乗るとき足が海に入るのでハーフパンツか短パンがベストです。
キャプテンのトークはアメリカンジョークをとばしてます。
時に日本語使ってくれます。

I participated the day before returning home on my honeymoon. During my stay, I couldn't see the sunset very often, so I was looking forward to it.
There was one other family of Japanese people besides us, and since the explanations after boarding were in English, I only had a vague understanding of how to wear the life jackets and how to order drinks, but I had a great time.
Feeling the pleasant breeze under the blue sky, sipping champagne while listening to music was exceptional! The sunset in Hawaii was truly beautiful. Even though it was March, I was able to see whales in the distance. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again. I highly recommend it!
ハネムーンで帰国日前日に参加しました。滞在中、なかなかサンセットを見ることができなかったので期待していました。
日本人は私達のほかファミリーが一組で、乗船後の説明なども英語のため、救命胴衣の着用方法や飲み物のオーダー方法などなんとなくでの理解でしたが楽しい時間を過ごせました。
気持ちよい風を受け、青い空の下、音楽を聴きながらのシャンパンは格別です!ハワイでの初めてのサンセットは本当に美しかったです。3月でしたが、遠くでクジラを見ることができました。またハワイに来るチャンスがあれば参加したいです。オススメです!

An outstanding way to enjoy the waikiki sunset. Hawaiil activites is da bomb. our friday dinner cruise got cancelled due to weather. after a phone call to hawaii activites, they quickly got us rescheduled for the saturday evening cocktail cruise on the Hilton Aloha catamarran. We practically had this 50 ft sailboat to ourselves. a 1 1/2 hour cruise along the shores of waikiki. a beautiful sunset and saw humpback whales surfacing and "sounding". a fantastic way to spend our last evening in honolulu. The crew was great, attending to our every request. Great drinks and music. If you want a relaxing way to spend the evening and enjoy being out on the water, take this cruise.

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.
