What an awesome time! Our captain and guides were great and a lot of fun. We saw humpbacks and swam with Diamond Head in the background. Such a magical experience with a pretty special sunset. We loved it.

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.

The crew will take you...

Quang_P, May 2026
The crew will take you out on a spacious boat to see the coast towards Diamond Head, swim, and then see the sunset before heading back. After a serious safety briefing, the crew was cracking jokes the entire way and even let the passengers sing karaoke on the ship's sound system. Great experience at a reasonable price. My only complaint was that I came with a large group and we all had to do waivers right before the boat left which I would have preferred to do before we even left our hotel rooms had we known about it.

Not a catamaran

Amber_S, May 2026
They oversold tickets and told us to go to another boat, which was not a catamaran. It was like a double decker party boat. Not what we paid for.

Second cruise this trip

Daryl_S, Feb 2026
Second time booking with Pink Sails since we’ve been here on our honeymoon. Second time it’s been a phenomenal experience. The crew was great and helped us take a beautiful picture together with a rainbow in the background. Third trip is planned for tomorrow to snorkel with turtles. Book with Pink Sails….you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful sunset

Katarina_P, Feb 2026
We had a lovely experience on our sunset boat tour! The views were stunning, and we even got to see some whales and sea turtles! The boat staff was very friendly and they made sure we get the most out of our time on the water. Would definitely take this tour again!

Fabulous sunset experience with a great crew

Peter_P, Dec 2025
This cruise was fabulous. It wasn't just a sunset cruise but also a fun experience swimming in the ocean with a beautiful view onto Waikiki and Diamond Head. Sunset was amazing and we spent half hour admiring it and taking pictures even after it was gone The crew was super entertaining, helpful taking pictures and friendly, with Captain Jamie, Peter and Lexie. Highly recommend it and we would totally do it again.

The wind beneath my wings

PATRICIA_C, Dec 2025
I am rewriting this review because my first attempt got lost when I navigated away to look for photos to add. This time there will be no photos, as I don't know how to not have the same thing happen again. My trip with Pink Sails was on November 19, 2025. I think the trip was to begin @ 5:00 p.m with participants being there about half hr. early. Price was about $40 and duration about 2hrs. Unsure if this varies with the season. The idea of watching the sunset near Diamond Head from the water was attractive. The vessel was a catamaran. The weather was mostly cloudy although the sun did peak through sometimes. It was also very windy. I don't know wind speed in terms of miles per hr., but it was windy and with some quite strong gusts. The water on the open ocean was choppy. I was seated near the prow of the vessel and did not move to any other place or seat for the whole trip. The young people (those under age 40) moved about quite a bit and a good number of them went swimming. A time for the catamaran to be still to allow for swimming for those who desired to swim was built into the program. There was below deck seating available, but I did not go there. However, Peter, one of the co-captains, suggested taking my backpack below for safekeeping and I allowed that, although when I later felt cold, I asked him to go retrieve a sweatshirt from the backpack, which fortunately was right at the top making it easy to find. The weather was mostly cloudy with high, gusty winds. It was a challenge just to hold onto things (my walking stick, phone/camera, and my water bottle.) When a very strong wave crashed over the front of the catamaran, I held onto my walking stick and phone/camera but lost my water steel water bottle which I had purchased that same morning fir $9.99+tax. The following morning I purchased another smaller steel water bottle from the same store for $7.99+tax. The a smaller bottle is better suited to my needs because it is lighter(esp when full) and easier to carry in my backpack. The clouds interfered with the sunset, but after sunset we did get some nice color in the sky. My fellow passengers were friendly and one woman offered to take my photo with my camera. I accepted. She took 3 shots. Later that evening when I was reviewing the day's photos, I kept only the best one and deleted the other 2 (hey, I do the same with the photos I take). There were quite a number of families, some with small children and babies. There were also some young couples (late teens to 30 something). A diverse group by age, race, ethnicity etc. I think I may have been the oldest...soon to be 80.

Awesome swim and cruise

Kimberly_J, Nov 2025
Great experience, nice swim during sunset! Crew was awesome, great bang for the buck! Cute little dog aboard too, which was fun!

Fun Swim, Beautiful Sunset, Great Cruise

HELENA_T, Nov 2025
It was amazing to swim in the ocean, the water was so blue! The boat ride was fun and the sunset was beautiful. The crew was great. My husband got motion sickness and they took great care of him. Little Dog was so cute and he was wonderful company. It was a memorable tour!

Fun boat ride!

Bill_L, Nov 2025
Good tour guides, Capt Brian, John and Tyler. Had fun swimming in the ocean. Unfortunately we did not have a sunset which is out of the control of tour guides.

The sunset was gorgeous...

Tomoyo_P, Nov 2025
The sunset was gorgeous of course, it was the loveliest view to get to look back to the city with from the ocean. The operators were nice, swimming bit is a fun cute touch to add to this experience.

Great value for a two hour sunset sail, with spectacular views and a friendly accommodating crew. Would definitely do it again.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Mahalo for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the great value, spectacular sunset views, and our friendly, accommodating crew on the Sunset Splash & Sail. This cruise is designed to offer a relaxing two-hour experience on the water with beautiful Waikiki scenery and a fun, welcoming atmosphere — we’re delighted it delivered exactly that for you. We’d be thrilled to have you sail with us again on your next visit! Warm aloha, Pink Sails Waikiki

Experience was decent,...

Jamaal_C, Oct 2025
Experience was decent, but not very much inclusivity and interactions from the crew, like previous sunset catamaran cruises we have done in other places. Sunset views were very pretty and the drinks were good lol.

Nice cruise

Lisha_P, Oct 2025
Great experience! Crew was cool! Lexi, Peter and the captain were so nice taking pictures for us and giving a great vibe. I just hate that we have to pay for the soda that was watered down. If it’s going to be flat and watered down, it should be at least included in the package. That’s my only issue. Other than that, it was a great experience.

A must

Louise_M, Oct 2025
Beautiful cruise on sailboat catamaran. Great captain with personality and a wonderful crew. A must on you Hawaiian trip

Just Book It Braddah

Kawai_A, Oct 2025
This was an awesome experience. Being a local - the price was right compared to other “sunset cruises” & I was most happy with getting to swim without “mandatory” life vests. The ride was amazing and the crew was so helpful. We do plan on doing this again with our ‘ohana!
