Amazing experience. Crew were funny sweet and attentive. They really all your photographer, bartender, and all knowing nature guide. They got us to the best views and sailed to the sunny spots saving us from the rain while still finding the whales. They also gave us great recommendations for the next day to go kayaking to islands. Super amazing experience would totally do it again.

Wonderful experience! The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect at first and it was raining, the team went above and beyond to take us to an area with sunshine and we even got to see whales! It turned into such a memorable trip. I highly recommend this experience.

All the girls on the crew were so sweet. They were all very kind and sweet. All very good at walking around and tailoring to your needs. Very professional and courteous. 10/10 would recommended and attend again.

Great sunset cruise - but bring a jacket!

Amy_M, Mar 2026
It was a lovely sunset cruise - bring a jacket and maybe a towel. It definitely got cold as the sun set and we got wet sitting in front.

Worth it!

Heidi_K, Mar 2026
Worth every penny! The all-woman crew did a fantastic job! The vibe, premium drinks and sunset were top notch!

Lauren_R, Feb 2026
We didn’t really get to see the sunset because the clouds did not cooperate that day, but it was still a fun experience and worth doing. The crew was very nice and attentive. They also made fantastic drinks.

Jeremy_P, Feb 2026
We had an amazing time on the Moana Sunset Cruise. The crew were all very accommodating and went out of their way to offer drinks, to collect empty cups and replace them with additional drinks, to take pictures of each group or couple, etc. They also pre-warned passengers when they were sitting in a part of the boat that was about to get wet, although many didn’t believe it until after they were already wet and moved on to another area. The cruise was smooth, the sunset was beautiful, and we thoroughly enjoyed the view of both the Waikiki skyline and Diamond Head. Highly recommend. Note: only the first drink is included with your ticket to board. Additional drinks can be purchased as needed.

Fun, beautiful trip!

Julie_D, Feb 2026
The crew was super nice. The views were amazing. They even found some dolphins in the water for us to watch, I don’t think that’s always part of the trip though,

Mahalo for reviewing!

This is 100% worth it!...

Recie_F, Jan 2026
This is 100% worth it! The crew was very friendly and always checks in on you. The drinks are great and the views are hands down the best part of it all from the sunset, mountains, city landscape and even the planes flying over. If you want to relax but are worried about filling your time up with excursions, this is a great combination of an adventure and extremely relaxing. Just sit back for 2 hours and enjoy the view!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Mahalo for sailing with us! We’re glad you loved the views, drinks, and crew. We hope to have you back on board again!

Mahalo for reviewing!

Most relaxing part of our Hawaiian visit!

Clyde_R, Jan 2026
Great experience! Very relaxing. Due to anticipated high winds our cruise was canceled but we were invited to join an earlier cruise (instead if just canceling our trip). The all woman crew was first class in every aspect.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for joining us! We’re happy everything worked out and that you enjoyed the cruise and our crew.

Great Crew, Great Time

Vincent_G, Jan 2026
Great experience, great crew, very satisfied. The positive attitude of the crew made for a very enjoyable and relaxing trip. They were very attentive, boat is clean and well kept. They went to extra efforts to see a whale off of Diamond Head and we were successful at capturing whale flukes with a gorgeous sunset in the background

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Mahalo for sailing with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the positive sail, crew, and that special whale moment with the sunset. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

Highly recommend

Michael_P, Jan 2026
Really great experience, good drinks and friendly crew. Highly recommend. Comfortable ride with great views.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for the awesome review! We hope to welcome you back soon 🤙

Great cruise, great Crew. Book yourself!

Steven_W, Jan 2026
Do not book this trip thru Viator. Cost less booking on your own. And DO NOT upgrade to VIP tix. A complete waste of money. All you get is on boarding first. But I am giving this cruise a 5 Star rating b/c the crew was outstanding! Very attentive and friendly. We saw whales which was a big plus since there were clouds and no sun this evening. Very relaxing and great views of Diamondhead and the coast line of Waikiki.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Mahalo for the 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the sail and whale sightings. We truly appreciate the kind words about our crew. Hope to welcome you back again!
