Super fun activity ! The Wahine koa crew was awesome. We saw some turtles off the boat and had a beautiful sunset. The slides off the big boat were a highlight. There’s floatation devices and vests provided if you worry about swimming in open water. Bring your own snorkel goggle and mask if you want to see underwater. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun water sunset excursion!

The crew, captain and first mate are great! Swimming was excellent with beautiful clear water. And we spotted some turtles while we were swimming. Sunset was gorgeous!

The tour was priceless. The staff was so friendly and welcoming I cannot remember there names to give even more credit. It’s one of the best 2 hours spent on a boat. The sunset was breathtaking. Thank you.

Sunset

Rosa_A, Jul 2026
Staff makes you fell at home. The experience is amazing and very secure also if you have little ones use them. They make sure that they are safe at all times

Great trip

Sarah_S, Jul 2026
Great experience for kids and adults. Booked last minute and was definitely a highlight of the trip.

Pink Sail Sunset catamaran Cruise

Jose_P, Jul 2026
Easily located with $1 a hour street parking. Easy to find. Sailed to Waikiki where we anchored and went for a swim. We were in the bigger boat which had 2 slides. One from the top deck of the boat. Then a short trip to a perfect view of diamond head for some great pics. Then sailed towards the sunset for an amazing ending to a great excursion. Had a bar with clean restrooms. Played great music with great energy. Jaime Yandy and Xavier were great hosts. We definitely will be bring the family next visit to Oahu. 10 out of 10

Must go!

Best Boat Experience!

Kevin_P, Jul 2026
We had the best time on this sunset boat!! We had like 50 min of swim time which was great, and the crew was amazing. Mo was a great captain and made us feel super safe and kept the vibes up! Jaylen was super sweet to us and also checked up on people to see they were having a great time. Justin and LD were also amazing, this whole crew really made the experience! We would definitely recommend this and book it again if we ever get a chance to come back! They will definitely take care of you and make sure you have fun they even spotted some turtles and monk seals and made sure we all took a look!

Rude Host

Lajuana_R, Jul 2026
We didn't have a good experience. The host a male with blond hair was very hostile. He was very rude to my son who was having an issue swimming. Other women on the boat expressed the same thing. Then he was shoving a payment app in our faces begging for a tip as we were exiting the boat. No thanks. We will not return or recommend.

We didn’t plan to swim...

Erica_A, Jul 2026
We didn’t plan to swim but even with the boat docked for swimmers, the captain found ways to engage those on the boat. We saw fish, held an urchin and enjoyed the experience.

cabreedon, Jul 2026

Milynn_P, Jun 2026
Make sure you put money in the meter, or they will tow u. Great sunset and tour guides. The swimming spot was amazing

Refund disappointment

Bobbie_K, Jun 2026
The June 15 sail was cancelled due to rough seas, understandable and acceptable. The message indicated a refund within 3-5 days. 10 days later nothing had been credit back to my payment card. Poor customer, disappointing because the sails I’ve been on with them have all been great, but I’m unwilling to pay for services not rendered.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

To help us look into your reservation, could you please let us know if you replied to our cancellation email advising whether you wished to reschedule or receive a refund?

So much fun!

Jamie_W, Jun 2026
We had a good time! The slides and jumping off the platform into the water made it fun for the kids. Bring goggles with you so you can see the fish swim around you! The only disappointment we had was the listing said they will have snacks, and they didn’t offer any kind of snacks, but they do have a bar with a few choices of alcohol, and sodas for just a inexpensive donation! I would recommend this!!!

If given the choice, pick the sailboat, Jamie, Alex and Jayln were a fantastic captain and crew. Very happy with the experience

Truly amazing experience...

Giovanna_M, Jun 2026
We had to rescheduled for an earlier day and the communication was quick and helpful. It was truly an amazing experience absolutely stunning views and the crew was nothing but fun and funny to be around ! 10/10 would definitely be coming back again!

Rude staff & rushed experience

Elean_L, Jun 2026
Terrible experience. The staff was rude, and the entire sail felt rushed. We barely had time to enjoy before we were hurried back. Look for a different operator that actually values its guests

Response from Host, Jun 2026

We always welcome constructive feedback. However, since you were not our customer and did not personally experience our tour, we kindly ask that you direct your feedback to the business where you had your actual experience.

Ruined by miserable staff

Hu_C, Jun 2026
If you are looking for the Aloha spirit, you won't find it here. The shockingly poor customer service completely ruined what should have been a relaxing Honolulu cruise. From the moment we boarded, the staff treated paying guests like a massive inconvenience. Simple questions were met with eye rolls, heavy sighs, and condescending snaps. There was zero warmth, zero hospitality, and absolutely no professionalism. Do yourself a favor and book with a tour company that actually values its customers.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Oh yeah, not sure which boat you were on but it wasn’t one of ours. And if it was, I’m trying to figure out a reason why somebody would be rude to only you? Why were you specifically targeted? I think he may be reviewing the wrong company

Sunset cruise

akparkin, Jun 2026
It was lovely to be out on the water, and to enjoy the late afternoon. Our group did not go swimming, but those who did seem to really have fun. The crew was very efficient and accommodating for the passengers. This is a good, low key activity that can be enjoyed by most age groups.

Fun crew for a sunset cruise with a little dip in the ocean

Terence_L, Jun 2026
Friendly crew, nice boat, good vibes. Boat left on time, was clean and not too crowded. Like the slides in the lower and upper decks for taking a dip in the ocean

Dianne_B, May 2026
Had a great time! Very memorable and relaxing! Great decision booking this cruise! Make sure you book with Pink Sails. Booked another the last minute and they came through with assisting us exceptionally. Thank you very much Viator!!

Sunset and sip

Ronak_R, May 2026
The tour was a little crowded but crew and service was amazing. Had a great time on the boat. Good drinks

Great crew (Alex, Xavier, Jamie), fun swim opportunities, and beautiful vistas

Carol_W, May 2026
Beautiful evening for a sail. Our crew was fun and friendly, but also very professional. Great way to spend a few hours with family and)or friends. Jumping off the boat and swimming was a blast. The water was beautiful, with multiple fish and turtle stings. The sunset was perfection.
