All Reviews for Sunset Cruises

Went on the 1 1/2 hours sunset cruise with Captain Johnny and it was great. We enjoyed the trip and the sunset view was amazing. Tons of pictures and lots of fun. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommending this trip.

I celebrated my 30th birthday on 12/21. My bf and I had an amazing time. We brought a bottle of champagne and chips. Watched the sunset together. The captain and his crew were very friendly. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!

My wife and I went while on our vacation. We had a terrific time interacting with the staff and other guests. Highly recommend!

This was a beautiful cruise with excellent customer service. Captain Johnny was the best. He called to help to provide directions and he made the trip a wonderful experience. He and his crew were great and the food was excellent. It was a wonderful evening that could not be matched. 5 star!!

Had a great time on the boat with me and my wife. Boat was easy to find, it's right on the beach where the instructions say it is. Crew was helpful and nice when we got on bored. Introducied themselves and made us feel welcome. The ride was super smooth, and being able to bring drinks on board was great. Highly recommend!!

The ride was so much fun! Me and my friends had a blast. The sunset was beautiful but since it’s winter time it does go down a little earlier. The crew were super friendly and the drinks were delicious

Sunset cruise was amazing - I highly recommend it. Cheers

it's a vey enjoyable experience. we spent about 1.5 hrs on the boat we love it

Had a great time. Crew was alot of fun. We loved Noah, and Fabio( his name isn't Fabio but that's what they call him.) Great soundtrack and yummy maitai's that flowed freely. It was at 25% capacity because we went 5 days after travel restrictions were lifted ...on the sunset cruise it didn't feel empty or like we were only getting part of the experience.( Most activities during corona felt that way)
And the scenery was incredible!
we had a great time and would definately go again!!!

We've been on a few sunset cruise's in the past, this one had the best drinks, views of the coast, waves, boat, sunset and crew by far! It's a must for couples.

Me and my boyfriend went during our stay in Waikiki and we had such a fantastic time. Even my boyfriend who is hesitant about boats/water activities loved it. The staff was so friendly and funny. It wasn't too crowded as a covid 19 precaution which was nice. And the mai tai's were 10/10.

Specific shoutout to Jeff on the crew. He made our trip even more amazing with some recommendations for hikes and food spots and he was just plain fun to talk to!

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely evening on this board. The water was a bit bumpy but the captain sailed her right. Crew was on top of serving you drinks. I certainly recommend this cruise.

The crew was amazing and super friendly. Our fellow passengers were a lot of fun as well. Overall it was a great experience. I highly recommend this catamaran cruise.

The crew was incredibly nice, drinks were tasty and the whole trip just breathtaking!! Loved it!!!

Super fun experience! Very romantic even with a baby. I live on the island and want to do that again!

This was the first activity/cruise my boyfriend and I went on since the pandemic started in March. Now that things on Oahu are opening up again we wanted to get out and have a nice evening. When we checked in on the beach, one of the crew members (wearing a mask) provided hand sanitizer and had us both sign in. Then we boarded and were served drinks right away (corona beer or maitais). Oahu's current regulations allow boats to carry 25% capacity on tours, so manu kai is allowed to have 12 passengers on board now. This actually made it really enjoyable because there was so much room to spread out across the catamaran. As for masks, the crew didn't enforce face masks or social distancing to any extent. The only time you were told to put on a mask was at check-in, boarding, and de-boarding. Once you're on the boat, you were told you didn't have to wear it and none of the crew members were wearing masks during the cruise. Overall I'd say they did the bare minimum, if that, for preventing the spread of coronavirus so I'd recommend going for a sunset cruise that is really putting in more effort to keep their guests and community safe.

The experience was amazing and would do it again with this crew. Captain and crew are amazing to talk to and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to see the sunset for an affordable price.

When I come to Hawaii, I always make sure to include sunset sailing in my plans. Once you experience it, you'll be hooked! I thoroughly enjoyed sailing while taking in views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, as well as watching the beautiful sunset.

This time, what impressed me the most was encountering a pod of dolphins. At first, I could see something like dorsal fins peeking through the waves, and they occasionally jumped to show themselves. Sometimes they even twisted while jumping... They swam alongside the boat for a long time, which was so exciting that I couldn't take my eyes off them. Seeing dolphins swimming in the ocean for the first time truly made me feel "amazing!"

After the sun sets, the temperature drops, so a windbreaker is necessary. I'm really looking forward to what discoveries await on my next sailing!

ハワイに来たら、必ずサンセットセーリングは予定に入れています。
一度体験したら、もう病みつきですよ！
船上からワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドなどを眺めたり、沈みゆく美しい夕陽を見たりして、セーリングをたっぷり楽しめました。
今回、一番感動したのは、イルカの群れに遭遇したことです。最初は波間に背ビレのようなものが見え隠れしていたのが、時々ジャンプしてその姿を見せてくれました。時々ひねりながらジャンプすることも…。ずーっと船と並んで泳いでくれたので、目が離せないほど興奮しました。海でイルカが泳ぐのを初めて見て本当に「すごい！」と感じました。
日が沈んだ後は気温が下がるのでウィンドブレーカーは必要ですね。
次のセーリングでは、どんな発見があるのかとても楽しみです！

I really like it. Why? Because there are few Japanese people. So I hope there won't be more! (A honest opinion) I ride every time, but this was my first experience with high waves. The meeting place changed suddenly, and we had to walk to board the boat. Once on board, the staff was as pleasant as always, and I was very satisfied. They remembered the alcohol I had last time, and we had a great conversation. Basic Japanese isn't understood, but you can still have a good time. Time flies by quickly. Depending on the day, snacks are provided, but sometimes they aren't. I think it's fine to bring your own.

とっても気に入ってます。何故か？日本人が少ないから。だから増えてほしくな～い　（正直な感想）毎回乗るが今回は初めての高波経験でした。集合場所も急遽変わり歩いての乗船　乗ってからはいつもどうりスタッフも気持ち良い対応で大満足　前回乗った時に飲んだアルコールを覚えてくれて　話が弾みました。基本日本語は通じませんが楽しく過ごせます　時間もあっという間に過ぎてしまいます。そのときによりスナック菓子がでますが出ないときもあります。持参しても良いと思います。

I participated on March 13 with my two sons. It was one of the activities we were really looking forward to, but... the meeting place was very difficult to find, and we ended up walking around a lot. When we finally arrived at the meeting spot and were waiting, a group of foreign young people came and cut in line as if it was normal, one by one, until we found ourselves at the very back. They were already drunk and making a lot of noise before we even got on the yacht.

I was satisfied that we could see the Hilton fireworks straight on, but the whole time it felt like they only cared about having fun themselves, and it was just a constant ruckus, which made it not enjoyable at all. It was just cold and not fun, and I wanted to go home quickly. I regretted that I should have spent my money and time on something else.

Since it was a trip to celebrate my son's entrance exams and it was his first time overseas, I signed up thinking he would enjoy it, but honestly, I was very disappointed. I will definitely not repeat this experience.

3/13に息子二人と参加しました。
とても楽しみにしていたアクティビティの一つだったのですが…集合場所がとても分かりにくく、かなり歩きまわりました。やっと集合場所に到着し、待っていると、私達の前に団体で来ていた外国人の若者があたり前のような顔をして割り込んで来て、一人増え、二人増え…で気づけば一番後ろに。
ヨットに乗る前から、酔っ払って大騒ぎしてました。
ヒルトンの花火は真っ正面から見れたので、満足してますが、自分達だけが楽しければいいというような感じで、終始大騒ぎで、全く楽しくなかったです。
ただただ、寒いし、楽しくないし、早く帰りたくて、こ
んな事なら、他の事にお金と時間を使えば良かったと、
後悔したぐらいです。
受験のお祝いを兼ねた旅行で初海外の息子もいたので、
楽しんで貰おうと思い申し込んだのですが、正直とてもがっかりしました。
リピートは絶対ありません。

This was my second time participating in this tour. However, I think swimming off Waikiki is better in the summer. This time it was in March and a bit cloudy, so it was a little chilly. But the sunset was very beautiful, and although I've been to Hawaii dozens of times, I hadn't had the chance to see the night view of Waikiki from the sea, so the atmosphere was really nice. I definitely want to participate again next time.

今回、このツアーは2回目の参加でした。
ただワイキキ沖で泳ぐには、夏場の方がいいかなと…
今回は3月で少し曇っていた日なので肌寒かったです。
でもサンセットはとても綺麗に見れて、今まで何十回とハワイには来ていますが、なかなか海上からワイキキの夜景を見る事がなかったので、とても雰囲気も良く又次回も参加したいです。

I signed up on the recommendation of a friend. Since it was a trip that included a Friday, I chose a day with fireworks.
We took a taxi from the hotel. The taxi driver checked the address and dropped us off about 300 meters before the actual location, so I was a bit worried if we were in the right place. However, the meeting point from the app's map was indeed correct.

Our family was the only Japanese participants; the rest were international travelers. Japanese was not understood.

They offered assistance when boarding and disembarking. It got quite chilly after the sun went down, and I regretted not changing out of my shorts.

The captain and crew were cheerful and engaged with us, and there was always fun music playing. It was unfortunate that we couldn't see the sunset because it was cloudy that day. However, I was moved by the changing colors of the sky and the scenery. The fireworks at 19:45 were wonderful, and everyone was excited.

友人に勧められて申込みました。金曜を挟む旅行だったので、花火のある日にしました。
ホテルからタクシーで移動しました。タクシー運転手さんが住所で調べて降ろしてくれたところが、300メートルくらい手前だったので場所が本当にあっているか不安でした。が、アプリからの地図の場所で集合は正しかったです。

日本人参加は私達家族のみであとは海外の旅行者でした。日本語は通じなかったです。

乗船する時と下船する時は、手を貸してくれました。
日が沈むと随分肌寒かったので、下は短パンをやめておけば良かったくらいでした。

キャプテンやクルーが陽気で声を掛けてくれて、楽しい音楽も常にかかっていました。
その日曇っていたので、サンセットが見られなかったのは残念でした。でも移りゆく空の色や景色に感動。そして19:45〜の花火はとても素敵で、みんな盛り上がっていました。

Our last day in Oahu and we took a sunset cruise on the catamaran, the staff was fun and friendly, the boat was clean and we had a blast, my wife and I had gotten married in Oahu February 29th 2020 and this was the perfect end to our trip to the island

Would highly recommend!!!

I had a lot of fun. However, I didn't understand English very well, so I wasn't sure about the types of drinks and couldn't drink much. It was quite shaky, so I got pretty seasick at first... But the view was really great!

とても楽しかったです。
けど、英語があまり分からなかったってのもありますが飲み物の種類がよく分からずあまり飲めませんでした。
かなり、揺れるので初めはかなり酔いました…
見える景色はとても良かったです！

I participated in this tour at the end of 2019 with my 2-year-old child. The view of the cityscape from the venue, Diamond Head, and the sunset—all of them are etched in my memory and became the best memories. The crew really energized the atmosphere, and I felt pleasantly tipsy; it was such a satisfying tour that I would love to join again!

2歳になる子を連れて2019年の年末にこのツアーに参加しました。
会場から眺める街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッド、そしてサンセット。
どれも目に焼き付いて最高の思い出となりました。
クルーの皆さんが場を盛り上げてくれて、ほろ酔い気分にもなれるし、また参加したいなぁと思える大満足なツアーでした！

The sunset was very beautiful! The wind was quite strong, and it got cold as the sun began to set. I think a jacket is necessary.

サンセットがとても綺麗でした！
風がかなり強く、日が沈みだすと寒かったです。上着は必要だと思います。

It was very relaxing and fun, would book again in the future!

I took a cruise from Hilton Village for the first time, and it was affordable with great content, so I decided to book it. We anchored off Waikiki, were provided with life jackets, and had a wonderful time enjoying the sea! The experience was unique compared to other cruises, and the crew was friendly and fantastic! I would definitely recommend it to others going there.

ヒルトンビレッジの側から出ているクルーズは初めてでしたが、価格も安くて、内容も良かったので申し込みました。
ワイキキ沖で、停泊してライフジャケットも貸してもらい、海で楽しむ事ができて楽しかったです！
他のクルーズにはない内容で、クルーも親切で最高でした！
また、行く人におすすめしたいです。

In February, I went with nine family members. Everyone was very satisfied, and it became a wonderful memory.

Before boarding, there is a group photo session (you can purchase a photo for 2000 yen after disembarking). Sailing in the pleasant breeze was very enjoyable, and the scenery was fantastic! We were able to see not only the sunset but also whales. I highly recommend it!

2月に親族9人で行きました。
全員大満足で、良い思い出になりました。

乗船前にはグループで記念撮影があります。（下船後、1枚2000円で購入することが出来ます。）
心地よい風の中のセーリングは大変気持ちよく、
景色も最高でした！サンセットだけでなく、鯨を見る事もできました。
おすすめです！

This is my second time participating. This time I brought my 1-year-old and 8-year-old children, and the staff were very kind, and all the passengers were nice people.

2回目の参加です。今回は1歳と8歳の子供連れでしたが、スタッフの対応が親切でしたし、乗客の皆さんも良い人ばかりでした。
