Did it twice and would do it again! - I went on Friday and Saturday evenings and had widely different yet great experiences each night. Our trip on Friday took us towards Diamond Head and back and yielded a phenomenal sunset as the sun dipped below the horizon. Saturday's trip saw an almost immediate set of whales spouting water and off we went in search! Due to a steady chop, we experienced the thrills of riding the waves and yes, some of us did get wet....and loved it! A pack of dolphins passed on both sides of the boat less than 10 minutes later. Although there was no visible sunset, the background of the Waikiki lights against incoming storm clouds rolling in made for a great background picture. I would definitely do this trip again. The boat is in top shape and the crew was fantastic in helping us to see the marine life.

Great Sunset Sail Experience! - We had a wonderful time with Waikiki Sailing Company. The crew was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they made sure everyone on board had a great view of the sunset. Drinks were flowing, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it never felt crowded or rushed. It was the perfect way to end the day in Waikiki. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid-back, scenic sail with great service!

Relaxing and romantic sunset sail - We had a great time and really appreciated top notch hospitality from Captain Kani, first mate Cameron, and bar tender Lucy. Thank you for a relaxing and memorable sunset sail! It was not too crowded and we had our choice of comfy places to hang out on the boat. I liked being on a smaller boat because you're closer to the water.

Perfect 5 star experience! - This sailing exceeded my expectations. We wanted something short and easy to do on the day we flew into Honolulu, before our cruise the next day. This really fit the bill. The operators were lovely, the catamaran was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. Not only did we get to see the most gorgeous sunset ever, but we really enjoyed watching all the surfers in Waikiki beach. You won’t be disappointed! We had the one complimentary cocktail and we paid a fair price for the second. In our opinion, the VIP experience is not necessary unless you really want to pour them down. The sailing is only 90 minutes. This was such a great price, great experience, definitely 5 stars. Not sure if my photos will attach, but if they do, fyi, these were taken with no filter!!

Vacation time and money well spent - There is nothing like being out on the water in Waikīkī at sunset. Everything was perfect - the ease of getting to the boat (walked across the street from hotel), the crew, the cocktails, the service the boat, the beautiful sails, the route, the view. We have enjoyed many sunset cruises around the globe and agreed this was the best.
