All Reviews for Sunset Cruises

It was amazing. Despite the bad weather, relatively low temperatures, and some rain, the fireworks were perfectly visible from the sea. The reflection of the fireworks on the water was beautiful! I was shivering along the way, but I enjoyed a Mai Tai because it was delicious, and they played great music to keep the atmosphere lively. Even though it was cold, I was sleepy, and the rain was intense, I couldn't feel anything but joy. I'm grateful for the wonderful crew who were so considerate, and for the cheerful and lovely people I shared the experience with. I want to go again!

最高でした。悪天候で、気温わりと低く、途中雨にも見舞われましたが、花火はバッチリ海上から見えました。水面に映る花火がまたキレイ❣️途中ガタガタ震えながら、美味しいのでマイタイを呑んでいましたが、上がる曲をかけてくれたり、盛り上げ上手で最高。寒いし、眠いし、雨は凄いし、帰りたくなりそうなところ、楽しい以外に感じられませんでした。気配りが素晴らしいクルーに感謝。乗り合わせた仲間、陽気なステキな人達に感謝。また行きたいな。

The fireworks and night view were beautiful and amazing. The staff provided excellent service. I was very satisfied, even more than the amount I paid. Since it gets cold in winter, I think it's better to bring long sleeves.

花火と夜景が綺麗で最高でした
スタッフも凄くサービスが良かったです
金額以上に満足度が高いです
冬は寒いので長袖を持参したほうがいいと思います

Even though I was around the Sheraton Hotel with plenty of time, I couldn't get through from the Sheraton to the beach, which made me really anxious... The directions were hard to understand. In the end, I walked along the beach walk to the ocean side, turned right, walked to the end of the road, and took the path on the right that leads to the beach, where the boarding area was! I made it just in time.

Before boarding, I took some photos, and since the waves hit below the knees, wearing shorts was definitely the right choice. I enjoyed the sunset while sipping on a Mai Tai, with music playing loudly. It was the perfect optional tour for the last day of this trip!

余裕をもって乗り場のあるシェラトンホテル周辺にいたのに、シェラトンからビーチの通り抜けができず、焦りまくり…。道順の説明が分かりづらかった。結局、ビーチウォークを海側まで歩き、右折し、道の終わりまで歩いて、右手にビーチにでる小道を行けば、乗り場がありましたよ！ギリギリで間に合いました。

乗船前に写真を撮り、乗り込むのですが、膝下は波がかかるので、ショートパンツで正解でした。
マイタイを飲みながら、サンセットを楽しむ。しかもガンガン音楽を流して。今回の旅の最終日にぴったりのオプショナルツアーでした！

Great Captain & Barman/Crew hand/everything person. Music requests from passengers all included and plenty of drink - lots of fun with good care from the 2 crew!

To relieve daily stress, both the captain and the passengers were cheerful people, and the mood was high. The view from the ship was also exceptional.

日頃のストレス解消、船長も乗客も、陽気な人達で、気持ちは、ハイテンション、達しました、船からの景色も、また、格別でした

I participated with my mother and aunt (both in their 60s). We enjoyed the sunset over the ocean while it was still light, and by the time we returned, we could see the night view of Waikiki from the sea. The duration was about 1 hour and 30 minutes, which might feel long for those who are not used to being on a boat, but I think it allows you to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii.

母親と叔母（共に60代）を連れて参加しました。明るいうちから、海上でサンセット、戻る頃には海からワイキキの夜景が見れました。時間は1:30程で船に慣れてない人は長いかなと感じますが、ハワイの海を充分に堪能できると思います。

I participate every time I go to Hawaii! We are the only Japanese people, and although we can't speak Japanese, we manage somehow! The atmosphere is great, and it's always a lot of fun. Since the boat sways, if you drink too much, you'll feel quite wobbly after getting off, haha.

ハワイに行くたびに参加しています！
日本人は私たちだけで、日本語も通じないですが何とかなります！ノリが良く、毎回とても楽しいです。船の揺れがあるので飲み過ぎると降りたあと結構フラつきます笑

We were definitely not disappointed with booking this activity. The crew was super cool and chill and just created a good atmosphere and vibe overall. Would definitely book with these guys again. And the Mai Tais were delicious.

The crew really made that whole cruise awesome! The drinks were great and the sunset was gorgeous... the only thing I didn’t like was how choppy the water was, but that’s really out of their control!

It was amazing to have fun together with foreigners. The prepared cocktails were delicious, and the music playing on the boat was tasteful; I really enjoyed it.

外国人の方とも一緒になって盛り上がり最高でした。準備されたカクテルも美味しく、船上で流れるミュージックもセンスが良く本当に楽しかったです。

Unlike large cruises, it was a relaxing and wonderful time. Swimming in the ocean while watching the sunset felt amazing. I recommend bringing something to wear on the way back since it can get cold.

大型クルーズと違い、ゆったりした素敵な時間でした。サンセットを見ながらの沖で泳ぐのも、最高に気持ち良かったです。
帰りは、寒いので羽織るものを持参することを、オススメします。

My first solo trip to Hawaii
I signed up for this tour because I was attracted by the all-you-can-drink offer.

I didn't have high expectations for the drink menu or the fireworks.
However, I was surprised by the experience!

The captain's talk was lively, the bartender's skills were impressive,
and the drinks were all delicious. The fireworks were also quite spectacular.
Additionally, the night view of downtown Honolulu was beautiful.

Moreover, there were people from various countries on board, and everyone was friendly,
taking photos with each other.
Even though I can't speak English, I was able to communicate with gestures and had a very enjoyable time.

It was a moment that made me realize the power of alcohol. (laughs)

This is one activity I would like to sign up for again when I come back to Hawaii.

初のハワイひとり旅
飲み放題に惹かれてこのツアーに申し込みました。

飲み放題メニューも、花火も対して期待はしていなかったです。
しかし、体験してびっくり！

キャプテンのトークに盛り上がり、バーテンダーの女性の捌きも鮮やかで、
飲み物も美味しいものばかり、花火も立派な内容でした。
また、ホノルル市街地の夜景も綺麗でした。

さらに、様々な国々の方々が乗船されていたのですが、みなさん気さくで
写真を撮りあったりしていました。
私も英語は話せませんが、身振り手振りで撮ったり撮ってもらったり
非常に楽しい時間を過ごせました。

酒の力の凄さを改めて感じた時間でした。笑

またハワイにきたら申し込みたいと思うアクティビティの一つです。

I have been participating every time I go to Hawaii recently. The staff took photos with us, which became wonderful memories. The sky, which was cloudy until just before, cleared up by sunset, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. By the time we arrived, everyone was singing and dancing, and it was so much fun! I want to participate again!

最近はハワイに行く度に参加しています。
スタッフの方が一緒に写真を撮ってくれてとてもいい思い出になりました。
寸前まで曇っていた空がサンセットの頃には晴れて綺麗な夕日が見れました。
着く頃にはみんなで歌って踊ってノリノリでとっても楽しかった～( ◠‿◠ )
又参加したいです(^O^)／

There were hardly any Japanese people, and the passengers were drinking and getting really loud, so the feeling of being out of place was quite strong, but I was able to fulfill the purpose of the "Sunset Cruise." I thought the boat turned in various directions, allowing everyone to enjoy the view from any seat. Since I don't drink alcohol, when I refused the drinks that were initially offered, I wasn't approached again after that. I wonder if they have soft drinks or something?

日本人がほとんどいなかったのと、乗客がお酒を飲んでハイテンションに騒ぎまくりだったので、アウェイ感は半端なかったですが、「サンセットクルーズ」という目的は果たせました。いろんな方向に船を向けてくれるので、どの席でも楽しめるようになっていると思いました。
わたしはお酒を飲まないので、最初に配られるお酒を拒否したら、そのあとは声を掛けられなくなりましたが、ソフトドリンクとか無いんですかね？

I boarded the Aloha with about 30 participants from the pier. To prevent water and dirt from getting on our feet, we handed our belongings to the crew when boarding and received them back upon returning to the pier.

The two drink tickets given at check-in can be exchanged for drinks of your choice, but the crew will also serve drinks without tickets, so in a way, there are no restrictions. Apart from us, there was one couple and a man who boarded alone for photography, along with couples and families from overseas.

It was a bit chilly outside due to the strong wind, but it’s not a long voyage, so it’s manageable. The fireworks against the backdrop of the Hilton Hawaiian Village last only about five minutes, but they are as spectacular as the finale of a Japanese fireworks festival. This short evening activity is convenient to enjoy after daytime sightseeing or water play.

Although it’s called a buffet, it’s more of a light snack rather than a lavish spread. Enjoy the fireworks with the image of flowers rather than dumplings!

船着き場の突堤から30人ほどの参加者と一緒にアロハ号に乗り込みました。足元は水濡れや船内の汚れ防止のためか乗り込む際にクルーに預け、突堤に帰港した際、受け取ります。
チェックインの際に渡されたドリンクチケット2枚で飲みたいドリンクと交換ですが、チケットなしでもクルーが欲しいドリンクを出してくれるのである意味制限なしみたいなものです。日本人は我々以外にご夫妻が1組と単独で写真撮影のために乗船した男性一人　あとは海外からのカップル　家族でした。　船外は風が強くやや冷えますが長時間の航海ではないので大丈夫です。　ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジをバックに打ちあがる花火はわずか5分ほどですが、日本の花火大会で云うフィナーレのような打ち上げで華やかです。夕方からの短時間のアクティビティですので日中の観光や水遊びの後に楽しめるのでお手軽です。ビュッフェと云っても豪華なものではなくスナック程度の軽食と思っていただいた方がいいです。花より団子ではなく団子より花のイメージで花火を楽しまれるといいですよ

It seems that the departure is after sunset to coincide with the fireworks, so the two hours in the dark are quite boring. It's impossible to swim, and I wonder where they expected us to swim?? There's no space to move since it's cramped, and we just have to endure sitting until the fireworks. It's cold, dark, and scary... and there's no restroom. I was looking forward to this since I had a great time on another company's catamaran last year, but it's disappointing.

花火に合わせなのか、サンセット後に出港なので
暗闇の中の2時間は退屈です。とても泳ぐなんて無理だし、どこで泳がせようとしたのか？？
狭いので動けるスペースもなく、座ったまま
ひたすら花火まで耐える感じです。
寒いし暗くて怖いし、、、トイレもないし。
昨年、他社のカタマランが楽しかったので期待してたのですが残念です。

At first, I couldn't find the meeting place and ended up wandering around Waikiki Beach several times, but since most people are participating for the first time, I wish there were some more noticeable features. The boat had quite a speed and sway, but there was unlimited Mai Tais and champagne. It was great to see the fireworks as well. The crew seemed experienced, which made me feel at ease.

最初集合場所が見つけられずワイキキビーチを何度も散策してしまいましたが、初めてこれに参加する人がほとんどなのでもうちょっと目立つような工夫が欲しいです。船は結構なスピードと揺れがありましたがマイタイとシャンパンが飲み放題でした。花火もしっかり見れて良かったです。クルーも手慣れた感じがあり安心できました。

The day before, when I went for a preview, the catamaran returned from the afternoon sailing. To my surprise, two honu (sea turtles) chased right up to the shore. The passengers were thrilled!
The next day, we were blessed with perfect weather for the evening sailing. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sea was amazing!! The Mai Tai was delicious, but the Don〇〇 was also fantastic!! Towards the golden sunset, we all cheered!!
During the magic hour, the music started. Guests from all over the world were having a blast!! Dancing, singing, cheers! Cheers!
We enjoyed the best sunset sailing!!

前日、下見に行ったら、昼便のセーリングから帰ってきたカタマラン号。なんとホヌ（ウミガメ）２頭が海岸近くまで追っかけてきました。乗客も大喜び！
翌日は最高のお天気に恵まれ、イブニングセーリングへ。海上からダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチ全景も最高！！マイタイも美味しいけれど、ドン〇
〇も最高！！　黄金色の夕陽に向かって、みんなでcheers！！
マジックアワーは、ミュージックスタート。世界各地からのゲストが大フィーバー！！　踊って、歌って、乾杯！乾杯！
最高のサンセットセーリングを楽しみました！！

The scenery was absolutely beautiful and I had a great time!
You can take a lot of lovely photos.
All the guidance is in English, but I think even those who don't understand English can enjoy it.
It's a chance to make friends with foreign people you meet there. You can take photos together and bond.
If you're prone to seasickness or feel a bit uneasy, it's better to take some motion sickness medication. The boat can sway quite a bit, haha.
The first day I booked was canceled due to a thunderstorm, but I was able to reschedule for another day at the reception, and I successfully went on the trip two days later.
It might be a good idea to book early and have some buffer days in case of cancellations, rather than planning it for the last day of your trip.

Please enjoy your trip!

とっても景色が良くて楽しかったです！
綺麗な写真がたくさん撮れます。
案内などは全て英語ですが、英語がわからない人でも楽しめると思います。
一緒になった外国の人達とも仲良くなれるチャンスです。一緒に写真など撮って仲良くなれます。
船酔いしやすい人や少しでも不安な方は酔い止め飲んでいったほうがいいです。結構激しく揺れます笑
わたしが最初に予約した日はサンダーストームで欠航になってしまったのですが、別日にそのまま振替できるとのことで、受付で2日後に変更して、無事2日後に乗ることができました。
旅行の最終日とかではなく、早めに予約して欠航になっても振替れる余裕日を設けておいた方が良いかもしれません。

ぜひ楽しんで行ってきてください！

I had a bit of anxiety at first since I had never been on one, but in reality, there was no need to worry. It seems both of them really enjoyed it.
- They felt a sense of unity with the wind and the sunset.
- There was a chance to talk with other tourists in a small group.
- The all-you-can-drink cocktails were delicious.

My parents were very happy about it.

私も乗った事がないので当初は少し不安がありましたが、実際は心配無用でした。
二人共 とても楽しめたようです。
ー風やサンセットと一体感を感じた
ー少人数グループで他の観光客とも話すチャンスが
あった
ー飲み放題のカクテルが美味しかった

と両親は喜んでいました。

Since dinner was light, I was able to focus on the sunset, which was quite nice! The tour guide was cheerful, and the service was excellent. It was a fulfilling two-hour tour! I would love to participate again next time!

夕食が軽食なため夕日に集中でき、
かなり良かったです！！
ツアーの方も陽気でサービスも
ばっちりでした。
充実した2時間ツアーでした！！
また次回も参加したいツアーです！

What a beautiful night cruising the bay with amazing views of Diamond Head, Koko Head and the City of Waikiki! The girl crew, Jenn and Jess, were really friendly. Offering to take our picture and refilling our drinks when needed. Awesome way to spend a couple hours in Waikiki.

It was a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday and will be remembered for years to come! Thanks for finding my cell phone

This jet coaster truly cuts through the vast ocean waves! It was an unprecedentedly fun experience. The interactions with the surfer friends of the captain we met out at sea, along with the beauty of the sun and ocean, are sights unique to Hawaii. In a sense, it's a hard marine sport and, in another sense, an adventure, but there's no doubt you'll enjoy it. There were no Japanese participants, and everything was in English, but it's perfect for enjoying Hawaii. I definitely want to participate again. The champagne on the ocean was also the best! (Make sure to wear clothes that can get wet!)

まさに大海原を波をかき分け進んで行くジェットコースター！未だかつてない楽しい経験でした。沖で出会う船長さんの知り合いのサーファーとの掛け合いや、太陽と海の美しさはハワイならではの光景でしょう。ある意味、マリンスポーツ、ある意味冒険のハードなものですが、楽しめること間違いなしです。日本人の参加はありませんでしたし、全て英語ですが、ハワイを楽しむにはもってこいです。是非また参加したいです。海の上でのシャンパンも最高でした！(参加時には濡れても大丈夫な服装で！)

Last time, I enjoyed the sunset on the catamaran, and this year I wanted my son's family to see the sunset too, so I participated. Next, I'm planning to go to Hawaii with my wife's sisters, so I think I'll join again.
The sunset is amazing! The view of Diamond Head from the sea and the night scenery of Waikiki are always fantastic, no matter how many times I see them.

前回、カタマラン号でサンセットを満喫しましたが、今年は息子家族にもサンセットを見せたくて参加しました。今度は、妻の姉妹とハワイに行く予定なので、また参加しようと思っています。
サンセット最高！海から見たダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキの夜景も何度見ても最高です。

The Manu Kai Catamaran crew was amazing! They were very welcoming and entertaining! They were constantly checking on us about drinks and making sure we were comfortable. The sunset/scenic views were absolutely stunning. It was well worth what you paid, with drinks included! I would highly recommend. Mahalo!

This was my second time using this service, following last year. The waves were quite high and it was a bit rocky, but you can see the coastline lined with hotels and a different view of Diamond Head from off Waikiki. Mai Tais and other alcoholic drinks are all-you-can-drink, and since I overindulged last year, I kept it moderate this time and enjoyed taking pictures of the scenery. Next time, I’d like to invite my sons to join!

昨年に続き、二回目の利用でした。
結構波が高く揺れましたが、ワイキキ沖から見るホテルが並ぶ海岸線や、ダイアモンドヘッドのまた違った表情を見ることができます。
マイタイや他のアルコールも飲み放題で、昨年は飲み過ぎたので、今年は控えめにして、景色の撮影を楽しみました。
次回は息子たちを誘って利用したいですね！

The Sunset Sailing offered by Hilton is more expensive compared to those from Sheraton or Outrigger, but since I was staying at Hilton, I chose this tour. It was great that the meeting place was close, allowing me to use the time before departure meaningfully. Although the limit was set to two alcoholic drinks, the crew didn't seem to collect the vouchers. As a result, I was able to enjoy as many drinks as I wanted. Perhaps due to the alcohol, I didn't feel the sway of the boat at all. I was also satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. I gave a generous tip as a thank you.

ヒルトン発のサンセットセーリングは、シェラトン発やアウトリガー発に比べ料金が高いですが、ヒルトンに宿泊していたのでこのツアーを選びました。
集合場所が近いので出発までの時間を有意義に使えて良かったです。
アルコールは２杯までとなっていましたが、クルーが引換券を受け取ろうとせず。結果的には何杯でもいただくことが出来ました。
アルコールで酔ったせいか、船の揺れはまったく感じませんでした。
きれいな夕日も見ることができ満足です。
お礼にチップを多めに渡してきました。

It was amazing to watch the sunset, drink a Mai Tai, feel the sea breeze, and see the night views of Diamond Head and Waikiki.

夕日を眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら、潮風をうけながら、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの夜景を見るのが、最高でした。

I thought it would be a leisurely boat ride, but it turned out to be a dynamic sailing experience, pushing forward against high waves. My sons in their twenties also enjoyed it. I was watching the direction of the boat and the waves, and I had a great time without getting seasick. (It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case.) However, on the way back, it got cloudy, and even though I was wearing a light hoodie, it was very cold.

遊覧船感覚かと思いきや、高い波に向かってグイグイ進むダイナミックなセーリングでした。20代の息子たちも楽しんでいました。私も進行方向と波を見ていたら　船酔いすることなく、楽しかったです。（一応、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いかも）ただ帰りが日が陰って来たので、薄手のパーカーを着ていましたが、とても寒かったです。
