This was an excellent experience! Highly recommend. Watching the sunset with your loved one while on the boat in the ocean at Waikiki Beach can’t be beat. Relationship didn’t last, but the experience was once in a lifetime.
Tajazia_J, Mar 2026
The staff on this vessel are amazing! I took the time to figure out which sunset cruise I should go on and I would pick this one again every time. They take photos and videos for you, play good music, have tasty drinks just and overall good time for singles and couples

You will need to take off your shoes and walk through water to board the boat. It wasn’t a problem zzzzzzzzzzzzz

We booked the sunset cruise. Cameron, Dez and Kapono all did an amazing job and cultivated a fun, lively atmosphere. My wife and I are both a little introverted and like to just be in our own little world and the crew created an atmosphere that was perfect for us. The view was beautiful and the entire experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
Lorrie_H, Oct 2025
The crew was amazing—fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The amount of time on this nice boat was just right to enjoy an experience on the ocean and take lots of photos of the sunset and Diamondhead without buildings in the way.
Lynn, Oct 2025
This was amazing cruise at sunset. Beautiful. The staff was fantastic. Helpful, funny, informative. Very friendly! The weather we went in October was perfect! We were hot by one wave and it felt great. Sunset was gorgeous.
Nicole_L, Sep 2025
The staff was very accommodating, got us drinks, made sure we could get lots of pictures, even helped take pictures. Some people had long pants on, I would wear shorts. This boat boards from the beach, you do have to step into water with no shoes on to board boat, but they help you to do so. It was a wonderful trip!
Jon_P, Sep 2025
The crew were fun and helpful. Nice way to experience Honolulu - seeing the sunset and the city rising up next to the ocean. Everyone loved racing with the wind on the catamaran too. Try this !
Response from Host, Sep 2025
We love hearing this! Watching the city light up from the ocean is such a unique perspective, and nothing beats the excitement of catching the wind under sail. Thanks for sharing your experience! We’ll be ready to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another adventure!
Sue_N, Sep 2025
You’ll have to take off your shoes and step outside n the water to board. The crew gives you lots of assistance. Wonderful beautiful trip and chance to take great pictures of Diamondhead.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad our crew could make boarding smooth and easy for you. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the trip and captured those beautiful Diamond Head views, they really are unforgettable! We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon.

Great experience. Finding the correct boat is a little confusing but once we found where we should be it was a pleasure.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Mahalo for sharing! We’re glad you had a great experience once you found us. We appreciate the feedback and hope your next adventure with us is even smoother and just as enjoyable!
Meiqi_D, Aug 2025
All crews are nice and took photos for us. The tour was amazing and definitely would come back next time.
Krissy_M, Aug 2025
My children and I chose this excursion because of it was 90 minutes instead of 2 hours. Although we didn’t see the Waikīkī skyline from the water, we could see it from our hotel and it was sufficient.
The crew was nice and the vessel was clean and in great condition. We liked the music and the drinks. The vibe was relaxing and that’s exactly what we were going for. Riding the waves on the way out to sea was a thrilling experience!
Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Mahalo nui loa, thank you very much, for your review! We’re so happy you got to enjoy the sail with us. It means the world when guests leave smiling.
Marina_Z, Aug 2025
Crew was fun and informative. Due to weather we had to board from the wharf and they were great about communicating this in advance.
Views were excellent and the sunset was stunning. A great way to end a vacation!
Josephina_R, Jul 2025
Beautiful views and a friendly crew. Was not able to see Sunset due to clouds, but that is just luck of the draw
Keena_G, Jul 2025
Amazing experience! We loved it. We got one free drink with our ticket . It was a nice experience overall. Nice crew also.
Misty_J, Jul 2025
Awesome vibes, very friendly! Great music! The sunset was beautiful on the water. Also a great view of diamond head.
Amy_F, May 2025
The crew was fabulous! Kept asking if we were good, bar tender was very nice and friendly. All were very fun.
James_C, May 2025
This was so much fun! The crew was wonderful and very friendly. The first mate and bartender on our cruise were phenomenal! The sunset was beautiful from the water. Overall a great experience! One item to note is that you have to sort of run across the beach and up a set of ladder steps between waves. The crew tells you when to run and it is kind of fun but waves are unpredictable and you may get wet, especially if you are a bit slow like me. You have to leave your shoes in a tub on the beach before boarding so are barefoot the entire trip. There were some families, but I would use caution with children who aren't used to handling moderate beach waves or who need assistance. Also, I wouldn't recommend having any bags that are large, loose or can't get wet. You want your hands free to go up the steps, if possible, and maybe phone in waterproof case. Most of the time you might not get too wet but I would be prepared in case. Just keep these things in mind and you will have a fantastic time!

The owner is very rude and unreliable. There is no formal notification or reminder of when we need to be there ahead of time. Like we need to be there 15mins ahead or something We were 2 mins late. And on the way I showed the owner Lyft screenshot that shows we are just around the corner. And when we got to the beach we can see the boat just left. When we tried to call the owner, she did not pick up the phone call or no explanations anything. Just refuse to communicate. I would not recommend anyone to take this tour. Very rude. I would suggest everyone to avoid this tour.

Aloha! We’re sorry to hear about your disappointment and appreciate the opportunity to clarify. Our confirmation voucher includes all check-in instructions, including the required check-in time 30min prior to departure which was 5:30pm. This timing ensures a smooth experience for all guests, as we must depart punctually. You were called at 5:22pm while still in transit, and we were informed you were approximately 2 miles away. You were then told we will be departing at 5:30pm. Unfortunately, we did not receive a phone call from you, only a refund request through Viator. Our team was on-site and available during the entire check-in window and did not receive any further communication.
While we understand travel delays can happen, we encourage all guests to arrive early, as noted in the confirmation. As a courtesy, we continue to offer all guests who miss their tour a credit for future use as a standby option.
Mahalo for your feedback, and we hope we can welcome you aboard another time under better circumstances.

The staff on board were all very nice and the boat ride was so fun! They gave multiple opportunities and stopped in different areas for everyone to take pics. The vibes were immaculate, wound definitely recommend!
Harry_Y, Apr 2025
Pleasant sailing and we did have a nice view of a sunset. Crew was helpful ad informative (like identifying the brown bobbies gracefully flying around when asked. No shoes allowed and needed to wade in water between waves to use ladder to ship. Had help boarding and departing fortunately.
Brittney_L, Apr 2025
