Reviews for Waikiki Sunset Cruise: Bachelorette and Birthday Parties

Such a fun time on the two hour sunset cruise. Captain Mo was fun, informative, and hilarious, and Jandy and Jalen were awesome crew/hosts. Everyone on the boat was made to feel welcome, we learned about sea life and how to spot a whale beneath the surface, and the swimming time and sunset were just beautiful. 11/10 recommend!

It was the best snorkel I have done. I loved it. Shout out to Captain Loni for bringing us out to the best spots for Turtles and a bonus whale showing. Michelle and Emma elevated the experience with their highly skilled swimming ability touring us from the sea floor - that was so cool.

We had a picture‑perfect day out on the water with Aloha Sails Waikiki and I can’t recommend this snorkeling trip enough. From the moment we checked in, the crew made everyone feel welcome and excited for the adventure ahead. The ride out was half the fun—sitting up front meant catching a few salty splashes as we bumped over playful waves, but the laughter it sparked set the tone for the whole outing. The captain found a calm, crystal‑clear spot and gave us more than enough time to explore. The crew kept a watchful eye while still giving us plenty of freedom, so we never felt rushed back aboard. The boat does have a restroom (a nice reassurance), though I never needed it thanks to the smooth, well‑timed itinerary. After everyone was back on deck, we took a leisurely cruise around the coastline before heading in—it was so relaxing none of us wanted the day to end. Beautiful weather, a fun ride, attentive crew, and plentiful time in the water made this excursion a standout. If you’re looking for an easygoing, wildlife‑rich snorkeling adventure, hop aboard—you’ll be planning your next trip before you even dock.

Very relaxing experience- weather was perfect & water was smooth. 3 times we saw whales spout & tails! Nice view of Diamond Head from the water.

The owners, captain and crew of the Aloha Sails Waikiki, are awesome people. The sunset cruise/snorkle was super relaxing, beautiful, and very chill. If anyone is coming to Oahu and looking to book a sunset sail, this is the best, in my opinion. Bring a towel and a mask and get ready to hang out, looking at the world below until you are tired of doing it. Then follow that with a beautiful view of the sunset. Sometimes you get lucky enough to see the green light right as the sun is done setting and we saw it yesterday. Perfect weather, perfect crew, and good vibes! Saw three whales, a sea turtle, and lots of beautiful fish on this trip. I look forward to booking with them again in the near future and for my work events too.

Amazing time on Aloha Sails snorkel tour! The staff were kind and very knowledgeable. They took us out to a spot where we saw lots of turtles and fish in the clear blue water. The boat ride out was also super fun, and those in our group who didn’t feel like snorkeling the whole time relaxed on the boat on beanbags. Other snorkel tours came and went as we were still out in the water enjoying the reef. Would definitely recommend this tour!

The boat was great, the Captain and Mate were very competent, friendly, and knowledgeable. Be warned, Google Maps will not be helpful finding the boat. Call the company for detailed directions.

I originally booked an Aloha Hour tour because I just wanted to get out on the water a little while I was visiting. Aloha Sails contacted me the day before to see if I would be interested in changing my booking (I did not ask why as I was really open to anything as long as it involved a boat), but I could not commit to another day so they offered to rebook me for the 8AM whale Watching tour the same day at no additional cost. I agreed. It was raining and no whales graced us with their presence (no one can control that) but I still enjoyed the trip. The staff was great, the playlist of local Island Reggae they played was perfect and I got my time on the water. I got drenched from the rain but I would do it again hands down- whales or no.

This company saved our wedding weekend! We had plans to take our party of 20 on a sunset sail with a different company. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the boat on the same day so we scrambled to find an alternative. Luckily, we were able to book a private charter with them at a reasonable price just 5 hours before sail time. We shared a beautiful sunset and evening watching the fireworks from the boat. Excellent captain and deckhand (I think her name was Emma). They had empty coolers with ice for us to byob. Thank you so much!!

Super cool crew slash bartenders! Boat is right outside of Dukes and people do line up to snag a good seat. Check in is by first name. Two drinks included. If you’re already drunk they won’t let you on the boat. You may get wet depending where you sit. I came in beach clothes, others in dinner attire. The ride out was cool and then coming back in to watch the sunset was over the top. They stopped the boat next to the other Aloha boat while we waited for the sun to set while jamming to great music. *Please tip the crew! They announced it but many just ignored it. Sunset sail with Aloha Sails highly recommended.
