I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.

The crew on the boat was humorous, and we had a very enjoyable time. They took photos for us, and the service was excellent. The length of the sunset cruise was just right. Since you can swim in the sea at the points along the way, I think having snorkeling gear would make it even more enjoyable. I also recommend bringing a jacket as it can get cold. If I have the opportunity to go to Waikiki again, I would definitely like to use this service.
船のクルーはユーモアがあり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。写真を撮ってくれたり、サービスも満点です。
サンセットクルーズの長さもちょうど良いです。
途中のポイントの海で泳ぐことができるので、スノーケルがあるとより楽しめると思います。
また、寒くなるので上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。
またワイキキに行く機会があればぜひ利用したいです。

The staff was skilled at getting everyone on board, and we had a great time together. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was refreshing, and I recommend this experience. At first, my wife was worried about seasickness, but she ended up drinking more than usual.

Lovely crew, delicious Mai Tai, amazing wildlife viewing. I have never seen a humpback whale do a complete breach, and this was just supposed to be a sunset sight cruise! We laughed and truly enjoyed the time. Our plans changed from going to see the stars to this, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Wish I had understood I would be barefoot the whole time (I likely didn't read the memo). Would have changed which shoes I wore to board.

We have been on several Sunset Cocktail Cruises on Maui over the past decade but this was by far our favourite.
The captain and crew were super friendly, knowledgeable & accommodating…they serve everything right to you!
Ukulele Dave was a great addition as well!
All of this + multiple whale sightings made for a great evening and we definitely recommend.

Too windy to cruise up the Na Pali coast the day we went and that was the only negative of an otherwise wonderful experience. I appreciated the safety 1st approach and professional attitude and experience brought by captain and crew. We cruised down the west and south side and had a great time, seeing beautiful shoreline, spinner dolphins and humpback whales. The crew was excellent, and everyone had a blast. Nice job!

I participated in a whale watching tour on March 4th. I was torn between a large cruise ship and a smaller one, but I decided to go with the smaller cruise ship, thinking it might get closer to the whales when we spotted them.
At the meeting point, there was no reception, and the staff who were on the returning cruise ship handled the check-in, which left me a bit confused about whether I was in the right place while waiting.
They did move a bit closer, getting within about 100 meters, and I was able to take great videos and photos with my smartphone's 2x zoom.
There were options not just for the five mountains, but also for morning, late morning, and early afternoon, allowing for flexibility in scheduling with other options and making effective use of my time.
3月4日のホエールウォッチングに参加
大きいクルーズ船と迷ったが小さいクルーズ船の方がホエールを見つけた際、少しでも近づけるのではと今回申込みをしました
集合場所では受付が無く戻ってきたクルーズ船に乗っているスタッフが受付をする為、待っている間ここで良いのか戸惑いました
やはり少しずつ移動をしてくれて100m辺りまで近づいてくれスマホの2倍望遠でも十分動画、写真が取ることが出来ました
時間も五山だけで無く、朝・昼前・昼過ぎから選べるので他のオプションとのセッティングも出来時間を有効に使う事が出来ました

I participated in this tour in early February 2023. One of the things I wanted to do in winter Hawaii was whale watching, and since my hotel was Aulani, I joined this tour departing from Ko Olina Marina.
It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Aulani to Ko Olina Marina, and about 5 minutes by car. The tour included four alcoholic drinks, so I walked there instead of driving, but I was a bit tired on the way back (^_^;).
Upon arriving at the marina, the check-in area was easy to find. I signed in on the list, received a wristband, used the restroom, and boarded the boat. There were about 15 to 20 guests at that time, but we were the only Japanese group. All the explanations were in English, but a young Japanese male staff member came later to explain in Japanese, and he also supported us during snorkeling, which was very helpful!
After the boat headed out to sea, we encountered a mother and baby whale! I was incredibly excited to see the whales spouting water and their tails coming up to the surface with my own eyes! Since it was an evening tour, we didn’t see any dolphins, but I was very satisfied to have encountered the whales.
After that, we went to the snorkeling point and enjoyed snorkeling. During this time, we encountered a sea turtle. I was moved to see it coming up from the bottom of the ocean for air, floating on the surface, and then returning to the ocean floor, all from a very close distance! The water was a bit cold during this season, but I was glad I participated in snorkeling! After snorkeling, it was chilly, so I changed from my swimsuit to regular clothes in the boat's restroom. The restroom was a bit spacious with shelves, making it suitable for changing. There were two restrooms, one on each side at the back.
After snorkeling, we enjoyed dinner and the sunset. The dinner was served on a single plate, but it was piled high, so I was full! The taste was also delicious. The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful.
I think this is a highly recommended activity for those staying around Ko Olina!
2023年2月上旬に参加しました。
冬のハワイでやりたい事がホェールウォッチングで、宿泊ホテルがアウラニだったのでコオリナマリーナから出発するこちらのツアーに参加しました。
アウラニからコオリナマリーナまでは歩いて片道25分くらい、車だと片道5分くらいです。ツアーにアルコールが4本かな?含まれていたので車は使わずに歩いて行きましたが帰りはちょっと疲れました(^_^;)
マリーナに到着して受付の場所はわかりやすかったです。名簿に記帳してリストバンドを付けて、御手洗を済ませてボートに乗り込みます。
この時は15名?20名??くらいお客さんが居ましたが日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。
色々な説明は全て英語でしたが、若い日本人男性のスタッフさんがあとから日本語で説明しに来てくださって、その後のシュノーケルもサポートしてもらえたのでとても助かりました!
ボートが沖に出て少しするとクジラの親子に遭遇出来ました!肉眼でクジラの潮吹きや海面の上に出てきた尾びれを見られてものすごく興奮しました!夕方のツアーなので時間的にイルカは見られませんでしたがクジラに遭遇出来たので大満足でした。
その後シュノーケルポイントに行って、シュノーケルを楽しみました。この時に海亀に遭遇出来ました。海の底から息をにし浮上してくる様子や海面をぷかぷかしている様子、また海の底に帰って行く様子を近づくことが出来るギリギリの距離で見られて感動しました!
この時期の海はちょっと寒かったですが、でもシュノーケル参加して良かったです!
シュノーケルの後は寒かったのでボートのおトイレで水着から私服に着替えました。おトイレは少しだけ広めで棚とかがあったので着替えスペースも兼ねている感じでした。おトイレは後方左右に1つずつ計2つありました。
シュノーケルが終わるとディナーとサンセットを楽しみます。ディナーはワンプレートですがモリモリに盛ってもらえたのでお腹いっぱいになりました!味も美味しかったです。ボートからのサンセットもすごく素敵でした。
コオリナ周辺で宿泊されている方にはとてもおすすめのアクティビティだと思います~。

Since they are wild whales, I suppose it's understandable, but I could only see them spouting water from a distance and their tails. It was hard to tell whether they were whales or dolphins.
野生のクジラなので仕方がないと思いますが、遠くに潮を吹く姿、尾ひれくらいしか見られませんでした。その位なのでクジラなのかイルカなのか区別がつかない感じでした。

The back of Prince Waikiki serves as the meeting place, and everyone gathers there at the scheduled time. The departure was on time as planned.
Inside the boat, music was playing, creating a great atmosphere. Drinks can be purchased at the bar counter on the first floor.
As for the whales, we couldn't see them up close, but we saw many, so I was very satisfied! The day I participated, the weather was cloudy, and the wind was very strong, making the waves quite rough, which caused some people to feel seasick. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring some medication.
prince waikikiの裏が待ち合わせ場所になっていて集合時間になるとみなさん集まってきます。時間は予定通りに出航してくれました。
船内も音楽がかかっていて良い雰囲気です。ドリンクは1階のバーカウンターで購入できます。
肝心のクジラはあまり近くでは見れなかったですが、たくさん見れたので大満足です!
私が参加した日は天気は曇り、風がとても強かったので波がとても荒く船酔いしている人もいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持って行った方が良いと思います。

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.
