Hawaii
We saved the best for last , attended the night before we flew home . Everybody said it was the best time they had in the 2 weeks we spent on the big island. We loved it!!!!
We will set sail around 4:00 PM and return before 6:00 PM. One of the great points is being able to see Waikiki from a perspective that you can't from the ground. Additionally, you can view Diamond Head from an angle that is usually not visible, which was also nice. We'll return just in time for sunset, so you'll get to see a really beautiful sunset. Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I think it's great for those who can handle their alcohol and don't get seasick!
16:00ころ出航して、18:00前くらいに戻ってきます。
地上からは見ることの出来ないワイキキの姿を見れるのがグッドポイントです。またダイアモンドヘッドも普段は見れない角度から見れてこれも良かった。
戻ってくる頃にちょうどサンセットの時間帯ですごくきれいな夕日が見れます。
お酒が飲み放題なので、お酒が強くて、船酔いしない人にとっては良いと思います!
We participated as a family of four. Since I have experienced dinner cruises on large ships twice before, this time we chose the catamaran. The ship was almost full, but we were the only Japanese guests. There were many foreign couples, and the all-you-can-drink Mai Tai was very popular. I had three myself.
It does sway quite a bit (sometimes the captain intentionally makes it rock), so it's not suitable for families with small children, but you can stand on the deck, and I think it's perfect for adult groups. Also, since we stayed at the Sheraton, it's very convenient for those staying at nearby hotels. I definitely want to participate again next time.
家族4名で参加しました。
大型船でのディナークルーズは、これまで2回経験しているので、今回はカタマラン号にしました。
船内は、ほぼ満席でしたが、日本人は我々だけ。外国人は、カップルも多く、飲み放題でマイタイが大人気。私も3杯いただきました。
さすがに揺れるので(船長がわざと揺らす場合もあります)、小さい子供づれには不向きですが、甲板にも立てますし、大人のグループには最適だと思います。また、宿泊がシェラトンだったのっで、近くのホテルに宿泊の方はとても便利です。
次回もぜひ参加したいです。
The weather wasn't very good, but seeing the whales made for an amazing memory. I would like to participate again next time.
天気は、あまり良くなかったですが、クジラも見れて最高の思い出になりました。
次回も、参加したいと思います。
There are various menus available, and even during the bright red sunset from land, sea, and sky, the sunset from the sea evokes an exhilarating reaction regardless of age. The pricing, crew, number of tour participants, and of course, the handsome captain provided truly delightful service tailored for singles, couples, and families. About one-third of the tour participants were Japanese, but after departure, everyone formed a group. The hosts were wonderful, and coincidentally, we were on the same boat as the currently popular couple, Yuya Uchida and Kiki Kuroki, which added to the sense of quality. I would love to ride the same catamaran with the same crew next time.
色々なメニューが有ります、陸海空からの真っ赤なサンセット中でも海からのサンセットは年齢に関わらず感激の奇声を発してしまいます、価格、クルー、ツアーの人数、キャプテンは無論イケメンコンビは、シングル、カップル、ファミリーへの肌理細やかなサービスには誠に楽しいものでした、ツアーの日本人は三分の一位でしたが,出航後は全員がグループ化していました素晴らしいホストでもありました、又当日は偶然にも今話題の内田裕也、樹希樹林夫妻と同船で、グレード感も感じました、次回も同じクルーのカタマラン号に乗りたいたいと思います。
I participated on the last night of my honeymoon. The fireworks viewed from the sea were very beautiful. I think it will be a great memory. The tour is in English, but there are crew members who can speak Japanese, which is reassuring.
新婚旅行の最後の夜に参加しました。
海からの見る花火はとても綺麗でした。
いい記念になると思います。
ツアーは英語となってますが、日本語が話せるクルーもいて安心です。
The sunset viewed from Waikiki Beach is beautiful, but the sunset seen from the ocean is exceptional. Be sure to enjoy the sunset cruise on a catamaran among the guests from the mainland. I think you'll create memories that are different from before.
ワイキキビーチから見るサンセットも素敵ですが、洋上から眺めるサンセットは格別。本土からの客に交じって是非カタマランからのサンセットクルーズを楽しんでください。これまでと違った思い出が残ると思います。
We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp
We participated as a couple on the recommendation of our son and his wife, who joined us two days ago. Although I couldn't catch the English explanations very well, we had a great time following these points that I heard from them:
- Sit inside the red line on the net during departure and arrival.
- Once we are out at sea, try to avoid going on the net as much as possible.
- Do not touch the ropes.
- The first drink is recommended to be the original cocktail, but there is also unlimited beer, champagne, and wine available.
2日前に参加した息子夫婦から勧められ、夫婦で参加しました。説明の英語はうまく聞き取れませんでしたが、息子夫婦から伝え聞いた以下の点を守って、大いに楽しみました。
出港時と帰港時は、ネットの上、赤線の内側に座ること、
沖に出たらネットの上にはできるだけ行かないこと、
ロープ類には触らないこと、
最初の一杯はオリジナルカクテルをお勧めするが、他にビールもシャンパンもワインも飲み放題なこと。
The view of Waikiki from the sea was truly exceptional. This time, there were no other Japanese participants, and the crew's explanations were in lively local English, so I felt that having a certain level of English understanding would make it more enjoyable. Unlimited champagne, the best views, and a fun time with happy fellow passengers—it's really a great deal for this price.
海から振り返って見るワイキキの景色は、また格別でした。今回は日本人の参加者が他にいなく、クルーの説明もノリのいいローカルイングリッシュなので、ある程度の英語が分かった方が安心して楽しめるかな、とは感じました。飲み放題のシャンパン、最高の景色、ハッピーな乗客のみなさんとの楽しい時間、この価格で楽しめるなんて、ほんとうにお得です。
It was an easy, inexpensive, and refreshing sailing experience. Running across the sea towards the sunset felt great, and the view of Honolulu in the evening from the ocean was beautiful. It seems that we went quite far out compared to other yachts.
The captain and staff's explanations are in English, but they don't seem to say much, so I think it's fine even for those who are not good at English. The participants were about 60% Westerners and 40% Japanese, including couples, families, and groups. Since alcoholic drinks were free, it got lively towards the end, mainly among the Westerners.
The check-in office is located near the Sheraton Hotel's beach foot wash area, close to the landing spot for the Mai Tai Catamaran. It's a small yacht, but there is a small, narrow toilet located at the front of the left hull. It shakes a bit, so it's not very convenient to use.
手軽で、安くて、爽快なセーリングでした。
夕日に向かって海原を走るのは大変気持ちが良く、沖から見る夕方のホノルルの街もきれいでした。他のヨットにくらべかなり沖に出るようです。
船長・スタッフの説明は英語ですが、大したことは言っていない模様ですでの、英語の苦手な方のでも大丈夫かと思います。
参加者は西洋人6割、日本人4割ぐらいで、カップル、ファミリー、グループいろいろでした。アルコール類もフリードリンクだったので、最後の方は西洋人中心に盛り上がっていました。
チェックイン事務所はシェラトンホテルのビーチ足洗い場近くにあり、マイタイ・カタマラン号の上陸場所近くです。
ちっちゃいヨットですが、左胴体内の前方下に小さく狭いトイレがあります。揺れますのであまり使い勝手は良くないです。
This was great activity! The historian who was on board with us did an excellent job of explaining everything that we were seeing along the coast. The food was really good and there was plenty of it. As an added bonus to our wonderful evening, we were first entertained by several schools of dolphins and then we sighted several whales. What a wonderful sight! The crew were very curtious and helpful and the live entertainment and the drinks were great. Definitely a highlight of my stay and something that I would do again!!
The boat was absolutly out of this world. I really enjoyed all the amazing food. There was much of it my tummy was stuffed by the time I got off. I also like that there were not to many people on board compared to some other boats ive been on. The crew was fantastic as well. A+
This was a wonderful experience. The employees were courteous and friendly and hospitable. We saw whales and rocked out to good music while feasting our eyes on the gorgeous ocean and the sunset. The mai tai's were great. We want to go again.
This is our second Sunset Cruise and we had a wonderful time. Service and Entertainment was outstanding. Food was average, and uneventful. We are not fans of meat cooked rare and would have liked to had the meat cooked to our liking. We look forward to taking this dinner cruise again, when we are in Honolulu.
my husband and i went on the star of honolulu last year for our annual trip to hawaii, and he surprised me the dinner cruise on valentines day! it was just perfect. i thought we were going to go to a regular dinner but instead he takes me to this luxury ship and even got the 5 star!! that was just too much! the jazz music was so relaxing, so much better than the cheesey hula music, and the food was ridiculously delicious ^_^ like i haven't had anything that good since. the steak like melted into my mouth and the appetizers were so yummers too~!!!!
i wish i was in hawaii for valentines again this year so i could go again XD
I took my friends from California to this cruise. Their mai tai is delicious and they are all you can drink! The whole cruise is very relaxing and you get to enjoy the Honolulu coast. The timing is perfect as well.
Highly recommended!
Sunset and fireworks viewing! Friday only dinner cruise.
It's just the best.
The staff is friendly, and you can enjoy wine while watching the sunset, and at the end, there are fireworks!!
I especially recommend it for couples.
サンセットと花火を観賞!金曜日限定ディナークルーズ
とにかく最高です。
スタッフの方も気さくだし、夕日を見ながらワインを飲んで
最後には花火!!
特にカップルにお勧めですよ
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was one of the most fun experiences we've had here in Hawaii! We moved here this summer and when my parents told us they were coming to visit again, I knew we had to do something special. And this was it! We had 6 adults and 5 kids between the ages of 7 and 11. The kids stole the show - they danced the whole time! It did not matter that there was drinking going on - the kids had a blast! How could they not? And of course we joined them in the dancing when the music got pumped up. Starting out with
The scenery was obviously beautiful and the crew seemed very knowledgable and capable. However, I have not been on a cruise like this before and conduct of other passengers and comments by crew about drinking and such were inappropriate in the presence of children. The enviroment was definitely not a family one. I was disappointed because my children did not enjoy it like I thought they would because they felt uncomfortable.
The sunset, the sea breeze, the drinks, and the atmosphere were all amazing on the catamaran. But... why was it on the net? A friend's camera from a wedding and honeymoon slipped through the net and fell into the sea! A fun memory turned into a sad one...
夕日も、海風も、お酒も、雰囲気も最高のカタマラン号でした。が・・・なぜ?網の上なの?ウェディング&ハネムーンの友人のカメラが見事網の目をくぐって海へ!楽しい思い出が悲しい思い出に・・・
I always had experiences that I couldn't enjoy from the land or the hotel garden. When you think of Hawaii, you think of the ocean, and the romantic presentation from the sea.
いつも陸やホテルの庭からでは味わえない体験をしました。
ハワイといえば海、その海からのロマンある演出、
Pros: Food was delicious, service was good and the views were great, the music was great!
Cons: The seating was very uncomfortable, the chairs were bolted down and the seating was very close. I have been on a few other cruises, and was much more comfortable on them. Would not do it again.
This was like my 5th time and like always a BLAST!!
With so many activities in HI being budget-breakers, this one delivers a really fun, relaxing evening at a very reasonable price. The mai tai's on board were enjoyable and refreshing. The crew was great, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs, which made the experience all the more fun. The music was appropriately upbeat and fun. I thnk I could be pursuaded to do this nightly!
Food was good and wonderful views from the top deck...music to be serenaded by in the back ground was quite nice as well. One thing we noticed is there were some empty tables and they could have spaced the couples out a little more to fill the tables and to give a more private setting for some couples to be a little more private with each other. They could have also sailed up or down the coast a little instead of just coasting around Lihania might made for some nice scenery sightings as well...but overall it's worth it !!!!
Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper
The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.
First time in Hawaii, decided to do a sunset cruise. Really enjoyed it. Crew was excellent. Unfortunately you can't pick your fellow passengers so occasionally you may find a winner.
The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.
It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.
While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.
However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...
とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。
日本人以外の方が多く(日本人:日本人以外=1:4ぐらい)、交流ができてよかったです。(ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑)
クルーの方もみなさん親切でよくしていただきました。
大きな船でのディナークルーズもいいですが、少人数でゆったりとなごやかなクルーズもよいと思います。
ただ食事(肉系が・・・)がすぐになくなってしまい思う存分は食べられませんでした・・・。
