Top Oahu Cruises & Sailing

Best.sunset.in.Waikiki. plus we met so many friendly people on the boat. The views were breathtaking. The drinks were good and strong. The crew played good music and the fireworks were the cherry on top. It's a must for anyone going to Waikiki. Short trip, maybe 2hrs but I think it was a little shorter than that. I was having too much fun socializing, drinking, dancing, and having a blast to care about the time lol

Wow! A sunset in Hawaii is so much more than a cliché, it’s absolutely magnificent! The Pink Sails Waikiki team delivered above and beyond service and attention from start to finish. There are many companies offering sunset cruises, but if you’re looking for a more relaxed and less crowded experience, this is the one. The catamaran holds a maximum of 80 people, and the vessel is spacious enough that you can comfortably move around and enjoy the views without feeling cramped. On this particular cruise, the combination of current hits and ‘90s music had everyone singing along and enjoying the moment together. The charcuterie snack box was just enough, and the two included drinks were a nice touch. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and every view. Sunset cruises are always a favorite of mine, and I continue to choose Pink Sails because their sailings never disappoint.

My boyfriend and I went on this tour together and it was so nice!! I never leave reviews but i felt like i need to because the two crew girls were so amazing! we were lucky because there was only 5 guests in total and despite the language barriers, everyone was included and comfortable. everything went smoothly and we had so much fun :)

A moving experience. Ticket did not include access to Submarine exhibit. It was also extra for a guides tour and the virtual reality theatre. By the time we found the free Theatre Show which was next to the departure area for the boat to the Arizona, we didn’t have time to watch it. My advice. Head straight to the information desk and get a map on arrival.

Our party of 9 Adults, booked the Sunset Cruise for our last evening in Hawaii on the 18th April, and it was the perfect end to our holiday. We boarded our ship 'The Star of Honolulu' at 4.45 pm and were met by four traditional Hawaiian dancers who performed on the quayside for us. We were shown to our table on the lower deck, and given a Mai Tail cocktail as a welcome drink, both alcoholic and non alcoholic options were available. You could also purchase a traditional Hawaiian lei at this point. We then had time to chat and listen to a Hawaiian singer, before leaving port at 5.30 pm. It was at this point we were invited to the buffet table in the adjacent room. We queued along the outside deck. Although the line was long, it moved quickly. There was a wide selection of food, and waiter service was available to purchase drinks from the bar. These were reasonably priced. The ship follows the Honolulu coastline until it reaches Diamond Head. This is a great opportunity to take photos of the many hotels and skyline from the port side (left). Sunset for us was at 6.51 pm, and we moved to the top deck on the starboard side (right) for a better view. The ship had three levels, and access is gained via the stairs. There was plenty of space alongside the railings to capture your best sunset photo, if you were reasonable and took turns. We did not find this to be an issue. On returning to the lower deck restaurant, we watched a South Pacific dance show that lasted about 15 minutes and showcased traditional dancing from the South Sea islands of Hawaii, Maui and Haiti, to name but a few. Each had a costume change and the dancers were amazing. As we neared port, the music continued, and it moved seamlessly into party music, that included 'The Twist, and YMCA etc. The atmosphere was fantastic as everyone danced all over the deck. We finally docked at 7.30 pm. If I had a slight criticism, and it feels harsh to say, I would have liked more announcements to know what was happening. I was aware of the sunset time; others may not have. I also did not know the dance show was happening and could have very easily remained on deck and missed it completely. I felt lucky to have seen it. This trip has everything you could want from a 2-hour sailing, and it felt like the perfect way to end our holiday. If you choose not to take this trip, you will have missed out. I strongly recommend it. Aloha!

Ian and Stone were the captains for our tour and they brought the vibes. They had seen some whales while out on the tour before ours and knew exactly where to get us to see them for ourselves. Did not disappoint! I think there were 4 whales and we saw them multiple times moving around. It was so fun, especially for our kids (11 & 12) to see them for the first time. Music was great, Ian and Stone were fun, plus it was just a chill ride and a laid back way to see the island. Definitely recommend this one. (Bring a couple drinks to enjoy since it’s BYOB)

The food is amazing, the company was fantastic- it being a small group, we had the chance to have real conversation- our fellow travelers were from Oregon and Australia so we had a lot to talk about as far as where we had been before coming to Hawaii. It was very enjoyable and they made it very comfortable. I do not get my sea legs easily but the Captain kept it from being too crazy even with a good deal of wind and waves. The captian and the chef/first mate was friendly and very kind. We enjoyed it as much or more than anything else we've done on Oahu so far.

Bennett, Kaipo (?) the bartender and Capt. Jeremy were amazing!!!!!Their humor and knowledge made our trip extra fun. DJ Vicio was also top notch!! We literally want to book tomorrow after our amazing experience. 10/10 experience if you want to drink and dance
