2015年11月13日、ホロカイ・カタマラン号に初めて乗りました。
ホントは前回利用したディナークルーズを申し込もうと思ったけど、
満員だったため、こちらのプランに申し込みました。
結果としてはこちらにして、良かったと思います。
集合場所はワイキキビーチだったので、投宿先のハイアットリージェンシーからも
徒歩で行け、一旦ホテルで濡れても構わない格好に着替え、向かいました。
ただ集合場所の『アウトリガー』はワイキキビーチに2ヶ所あり、
想定外に焦ってしまいました。
とは言うものの、無事に集合場所へ辿り着き、参加できました。
5時に出航してカクテルやビールを飲みながら、サンセットクルーズを
満喫できました。
日本語でのガイダンスがなく、少し様子を見ながら、過ごしていましたが
すぐに慣れ、波に揺られながら、カクテルを3~4杯いただきました。
狭い船内なので、周囲では直ぐに打ち解けた様子でしたが、
ここは悲しいかな、多少の英語力が必要です。
途中で軽く雨にも当たられましたが、逃れる場所もなく、
ただただ周囲の外国人と一緒にはしゃぎ回ってました。
でもその後はワイキキの街に虹がかかり、お得感満載でした。
ディナークルーズでは味わえない、小さなヨットでの自然との一体感は、
やっぱり最高です。
危惧していたトイレも、覚悟したほどではなく、安心しました。
まぁ行かないに越したことは無いと思いますが、
…まぁこれは個人的な感想なので。
もしまたハワイへ行けるなら、また申し込みたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

We absolutely loved this boat and its staff. I can to Hawaii to visit my sorority sister. So one might imagine how we partied in our college days. Although this wasn't a wild rager, the staff was hilarious, other passengers were super friendly, and the boat was fun (liquor helped). From beginning to end the whole experience was effortless and well worth every penny. We are actually making it a tradition every time we go to Hawaii. It's good for all ages and an amazing way to experience the beauty of Waikiki.

I took my friend on this dinner cruise for her birthday gift and it was very enjoyable. Every time I'm on the Makani Sunset Dinner Sailing Cruise alway over the top amazing, the atmosphere aboard was terrific with great music and great crew. The crew was fabulous! The night views from cruise were tremendous and the food was very well done too. If you want something special while in Hawaii, you should go. You can also enjoy the beautiful sunset from offshore. Only advice I would give is they start serving food almost as soon as ship pulls out of port, it is almost dark. Interrupt your dinner to go out on deck to take pictures. I feel like I did not get enough pictures of sunset because it seemed to get dark very fast.

I have always wanted to take a cruise in Hawaii and came across the Makani Sunset Dinner cruise and it seem like a great deal so I instanty booked it. They also offer shuttle service from Wakkiki which I took advantage of. I received a detail confirmation on the cruise, as well as a phone call confirmation. This felt very professional of the company. The cruise ship captain and crew was also very friendly, professional and made sure we were all having a great time! The weather was great and overall great experience. The food was buffet style, the offering was simple but the food was good. You get 2 drink tickets and it's good for any drinks. You can purchase additional drinks afterwards but the cost is very reasonable. I had fun and would recommend for anyone that wants a short cruise to see the island from the ocean. Thank you for great experience!

Our friends who had previously been to Hawaii, said that we MUST do one of these sailing cruises on a Friday night. They weren't wrong! This is a MUST do!
This sunset dinner sailing cruise was awesome! 9/10 I'll break it down.
The crew had charisma, they had explained everything in detail and they were extremely approachable for any questions. Excellent service! 5/5
The food was great! Island style means buffet style - my wife and I definitely weren't hungry at the end of the night! They even had cookies out for dessert! 5/5 on my books for food!
They didn't have a blender, but that didn't stop the bartender from making a mean Mai Tai! They had a wide selection of beer, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks. I tried a High Tide as suggested by the bartender, amazing! Personally I like my crushed ice. Still good though, for Drinks I gave a 4/5.
And most importantly the view of the fireworks was spectacular! Perfect view, the catamaran was right in front of the fireworks - everyone on the vessel could see the fireworks, there was no crowding. 5/5

Everything was excellent! The weather didn't cooperate, but the captain was nice enough to offer opportunities to reschedule for another night without any charges. Unfortunately this was our last chance to go, and thankfully they were up for it if we were! Everyone was so friendly and the drinks were great. The service was very prompt and even with the monsoon weather we were having it was still an awesome time on the water. We had a blast!!!!

A Fun, also on rainy days!
We booked the firework dinner cruise a few weeks before we started our trip to Hawaii.
The transportation from the hotel to the marina (small extra fee) was on time and near our Hotel.
The catamaran was nice und clean. After entering the boat the crew briefed us about the security on board.
Due to the calm, we couldn`t sail but the engine was powerful enough to have fun.
The dinner started shortly after leaving the marina.
We had springrolls,chicken, rice and vegetables. Everything was tasty and well cooked.
We specially like the miniwraps.
After Sunset we had a nice view to Waikiki-beach.
The firework started ontime and we had a place in the first row, very close to it.
On the way back to the marina we had some cookies and drinks.
We had a fun evening and enjoy our stay an board. Next time we wanna do it again.

The Holokai beached itself with time to spare and after a quick clean up on board when the previous group departed( the boat, not died), there was a name check and then with footwear secured in boxes to be taken on board, we climbed the steps and got underway. There was the usual safety briefing re life jackets and areas to stand and not stand in, then the bar was open and the cocktails were served - delicious. The sea was a bit choppy but it didn't detract from the awesomeness of sailing, drinking cocktails and watching fireworks - with my wife. It doesn't get any better. The crew were great and I got the feeling that even though we were drinking, they wouldn't allow it get out of hand. Very professional and very enjoyable.

I've never expected such a great things on this because I cancelled other cruise activity (Atlantis) and there were not enough reviews on Holokai Catamaran Sunset cruise. But right now, I strongly recommend this for everyone. I don't know how romantic and luxurious big cruises are, but can say definitely NOT BETTER THAN THIS!! Crews were nice, cruise duration was enough and people were not crowed so that we could enjoy our time & place enough. If I visit Hawaii again, I'll do this again. Thanks for your effort!!

We were greeted at our hotel by a Cruise rep and his trainee who had a wonderful smile. We were taken to our boat and directed to our seats by a wonderful staff who all greeted us with the traditional "Aloha". The Cruise rep and his trainee (Smiley) cited on our table with tremendous professionalism and friendliness making our cruise very pleasant. The food was perfect for this cruise and everything was brought to our table in perfect order. The floor show was spectacular and it was fun seeing the traditions of dance and music. We started off during daylight and cruised the beautiful skyline of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu in the dark. Everyone had a chance to spend time outside on several different viewing areas. This was a great dinner cruise and we highly recommend it to people of all ages.

This was a great evening activity for a Friday. The check-in process was super-simple, we even had extra time so we went to the small bar to the right of the check-in stand. Then we lined up and where able to board the vessel. I recommend shorts, as this is a barefoot cruise. I got a little wet but others weren't so fortunate. The cruise was a quite ride out, then down to Diamond Head and back near Magic Island to see the fireworks. Overall a great experience.

My friend and I booked onlne before we left Australa and couldn't wait! We weren't disapppointed at all. Once we left Honolulu Harbour the sail went up. Sitting there and just chilling out was awesome. Dinner was served and was really nice with more than enough food for everyone. The crew were really friendly as well. We got two free drinks and believe me, their signature Hai Tais are a must have!! Seeing dolphins slice through the water beside us was just magical. Thanks to the mate for pointing them out to us! Everyone onboard had a really great time and I would thoroughly recommend this as an absolute must in Honolulu. I could have stayed on board all night but all good things must come to an end. I would definitely go again!

My friends and I had the BEST night in Hawaii with this combo :D The drinks flowed freely (Get the shaker! TOTALLY WORTH IT!), the music was kicking, the views were awesome and the crew was on IT!
We wanted a to see the sunset and have some cocktails AND have a delicious dinner, and this fit the bill perfectly. Rather than shelling out $100 or more for a dinner cruise (basically a floating restaurant), we got to enjoy the sunset while under sail, had all of the booze we could drink (mimosas, mai tais and more!) and then had a yummy dinner that we got to grill up ourselves. Woot! Woot!
The dinner was hella tasty and it was great that we got the combo since I saw people walk up to the hostess at the restaurant and they got told that there would be an hour and a half wait. WHAT!? We checked in and got escorted right to our table. Yup! Yup!
Definitely a great choice for anyone looking to have a great island night in Waikiki~

We decided to do this on our honeymoon and we were really glad we did !! They picked us up at our hotel and then dropped us off when it was over. Make sure you add this option as you will enjoy a few drinks and don't want to be driving back and it's far better than a cab!
The cruise itself was fantastic. Calm waters and a leisurely pace out and back all the way past diamond head watching the sun set over the city and Waikiki it was amazingly beautiful. The dinner was very good and the bartender and crew were all friendly fun and professional. I would do this every time I visit Waikiki without question!!

It was a great experience, from our pick up at Waikiki to the Pier.
Everything was better than I expected, the bus had plenty of space, and the ride was smooth.
When we got to the pier we only waited for 10 minutes in order to be inside the boat.
My wife and I wanted to have a good time, since we are newlyweds and we were spending our honeymoon in Hawaii.
The food was delicious and the bartender was one of the best in Hawaii, will never forget the High Tide, it really made my night better.
It was a romantic night and the crew made the best they could in order to make us feel comfortable.
I wish to go back again in my next trip to Hawaii.
Aloha!

We spent an evening aboard the Makani during our honeymoon... What a great decision it was!!! The staff was very friendly, you truly can tell that they enjoy their jobs and want to have their guests to have the best time possible. Our cruise may have had 20 other guess on board. They could have easily fit 2x that many so it was not crowded. The Bartender named Stretch mixes some delicious drinks, and they are STRONG :) Food was much better then expected. We enjoyed a beef stir fry, sushi wraps, egg rolls, teriyaki chicken, salad, white rice, cookies and more. The scenery was extremely romantic and a perfect evening during our honeymoon!! Special note: Bring camera and selfie stick. Alot of people aboard our boat didn't have one and said that is one thing theyd bring next time

The title is a little confusing when booking the Friday sunset cocktail sail ...... kinda sounds like you're getting the fireworks at the end. Unfortunately, that's a totally different sail, but would have been nice. The sail kind of just goes back and forth between the Hilton and the Westin until sunset then goes in. I wasn't fond of the run drink they served, but it comes with the price. All in all, the captain and 1 person crew/bartender were accommodating. I would recommend it.

We have already decided on our next trip, we will for sure be doing this again. If you're smart, you'll take them up on the offer prior to boarding the boat. They offer a shaker with a house cocktail which you get before boarding to pregame but it also gets you on the boat before anybody else (plus the drink is so so good)

We were a family of 8 people that included 4 young adult children looking for a fireworks cruise that included dinner and found this cruise on this website that was very well priced.
The fireworks are on at the Hilton Hawaiian Village every Friday night and the Hilton put on a fireworks cruise at a more expensive price but I wasn't sure if we would like the food so decided to go for this cruise that included BBQ buffet dinner at Shore Bird restaurant in the Outrigger hotel. We met the Holokai catamaran on the beach directly out front of the Shore Bird restaurant. The crew were friendly and we were able to purchase our drinks on board and got to keep our cocktail shaker that we bought our drinks in, nice souvenir! We sailed out to position in front of the Hilton Hotel Rainbow tower.
Such a lovely tour to do whether you are a small or large group and then return to the beach to make your way to a BBQ of fish,chicken or steak and help yourself to the all you can eat salad buffet followed by desert.
We had the steak and fish for dinner and we're happy with our meals, I especially liked their potato salad int the salad buffet as well.
The restaurant overlooks the beach and they also have karaoke. I would highly recommend this cruise as it is well priced and it gives you the option of dinner or no dinner if you would prefer to eat elsewhere.
