Everyone was fantastic, but our female captain was truly incredible, so funny, friendly, and full of personality. She definitely made the experience even more memorable and took our trip to the next level!
We had such a great time and would 100% recommend Waikiki Sunset Tours to anyone visiting Oahu. An amazing experience with an amazing crew!

Nice little sunset cruise! Check in was easy though the requirement to be there an hour early seemed excessive- especially with no benches or seating area to wait. Staff was excellent and very patient with passengers- even with “Leo’s birthday” happening on board. Complimentary Mai-tai was a nice surprise. Solid vessel and safe. Very casual and chill. Would do it again- just not with drunk Leo. 😉
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Aloha Troy,
Thank you for joining us for a Waikiki sunset cruise and for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, beautiful evening on the water, and the overall experience aboard the vessel. We especially appreciate your kind words about our staff. Our crew works hard to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable, and we are happy to hear that their patience and professionalism stood out, even during a lively birthday celebration onboard.
We are also glad you enjoyed the complimentary Mai Tai and found the vessel to be solid and safe. Creating a casual, comfortable experience where our guests can sit back, enjoy the views, and take in a Waikiki sunset is exactly what we aim for.
We appreciate your honest feedback about the one-hour check-in time and the lack of seating while waiting. We understand how arriving that early can feel excessive, particularly when there is not a comfortable place to sit, and we will certainly take your comments into consideration as we continue looking for ways to improve the guest experience from check-in through the end of the cruise.
Thank you again for spending your evening with Go Hawaii Watersports and for the recommendation. We would be happy to have you back for another sunset on the water. We will do our best to make sure the next trip is just as enjoyable, with hopefully a little less excitement from Leo!

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review, Karissa.
We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Sunset Cruise and felt it was well worth the price. Our crew takes great pride in creating a fun and welcoming experience, so we truly appreciate your kind words.
Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing to spend part of your time in Waikiki with us. We look forward to welcoming you back aboard when you return to Hawaii.
The surcharge was not disclosed in advance. We were charged an additional $9 per person, which was unexpected. If this extra fee had been clearly stated before booking, I would have considered other options and likely chosen a better tour for the total price.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Aloha
Thank you for your feedback, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We understand how frustrating unexpected charges can feel when traveling. While the applicable fees are outlined in both the exclusions section of the tour listing and the booking confirmation email, we recognize that these details can sometimes be overlooked during the booking process.
We are committed to being as transparent as possible regarding pricing and will continue looking for ways to make this information even more visible for our guests. We sincerely appreciate your comments, as they help us improve the overall booking experience.
Thank you for joining us on our Sunset Cruise, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the beautiful views and time on the water.

It was rocky but we got to see beautiful sunset and Honolulu skyline. Go to bathroom before checking in for cruise or wait until board. Public restrooms in public park are horrendous.
