Great fun - Great crew and a fun tour. Information listed on Viator is incorrect, as there is no dinner served. They offer a snack box with two small sandwiches. We saw whales and a turtle. The whole family had a great time.

Stunning sunset from a catamaran - The best way to watch the sunset in Waikiki! One of the best catamaran cruises we’ve been on - mostly because it was not crowded at all. It was so chill and relaxed, we went pretty far off shore and managed to see some whale spouts and even a fluke! The drinks were fantastic and everyone had their own box of a small sandwich and grapes (it was fresh and good - a nice healthy snack with your cocktail). The sunset was stunning. And it was super-convenient to take the tour right from the Hilton resort. If you are staying at the Hawaiian Village you shouldn’t miss taking the sunset cruise - it really is beautiful.

Best Birthday Ever - I had funny and memorable experience with OGs on the 1/27 evening sunset cruise. I was celebrating a solo birthday trip. The crew and riders were extremely welcoming. I even receive a lovely birthday song. It’s not advertised but you may see whales. We saw three that seem to follow us to the sunset. The captain chanting “whipple of whales” seems to keep them nearby. The boat ride was peaceful and just long enough. The drinks were good everyone said the Mai Tai was the best on the island.

Great Sunset Experience, even though the sunset was not so cooperative☺️ - Anthony was extremely knowledgeable. Really appreciated his information about the history of Hawaii! “Corndog” , as well as the rest of the crew, was so good about ensuring our drinks were filled. Drinks were great! Corndog took our picture and was soooo good about getting the best shot! Food box could have been better. 😕 The catamaran was clean and checked all the boxes for safety! Thank you for such a great experience! When asked, Anthony in particular was very informative and very proud of the Hawaii culture!
