Hawaii
This is my second time participating. Last year, the event was canceled due to weather conditions, so I was really looking forward to this year. However, during my stay, I was troubled by a typhoon, and on the day of the event, it was unfortunately cloudy. Even though the tour went ahead, I was worried about the sunset. But when the time came, we were treated to a beautiful sunset! The captain and the assistant were wonderful people who kept the atmosphere lively while being attentive to our needs. Thanks to them, I had a very enjoyable time and I strongly want to participate again.
2度目の参加です
去年は天候の影響で不催行となってしまい今年こそは...と張り切っていましたが滞在中は台風に泣かされ当日もあいにくの曇り空、ツアーは決行でもサンセットはどうかな?とモヤモヤしながらヨットが出航
ところがサンセットの時間になると綺麗な夕日が!!
キャプテンとアシスタントの方も素敵な人たちで
細やかな気配りをしながらも場を盛り上げて下さいました
おかげさまで大変楽しい時間を過ごすことができ、また参加したいと強く思いました
I experienced cruising on a yacht for the first time. Cruising on a yacht while feeling the wind all over my body, along with unlimited drinks and a sunset sinking on the horizon, was amazing.
初めてヨットでのクルージングを体験しました。ヨットなので直接風を全身に浴びながらのクルージング、そしてドリンク飲み放題と水平線に沈みサンセットは最高でした。
I had a hard time choosing from several sunset cruises (including dinner cruises), but the result was "absolutely right!" (laughs).
On the day of the cruise, there were some clouds (which made the temperature comfortable), and the sun peeked out from time to time. With the cheerful captain and female crew guiding us, we started with a toast and enjoyed free-flowing Mai Tais, which set the perfect mood for watching the sunset. Plus, we even got a bonus view of a "rainbow" over Diamond Head!?
I think the weather can affect the experience, but for those who want to feel close to the sunset, I highly recommend this sailing for its cost performance as well.
数件あるサンセット・クルーズ(含ディナー・クルーズ)から迷いながらチョイスしま
したが、結果は『大正解!(笑)』でした。
当日は若干雲もあり(その分気温は快適)太陽が見え隠れする空模様でしたが、
陽気なキャプテン・女性クルーの案内&“乾杯”からスタートするフリー
ドリンクのマイタイで、最高のテンションでサンセットを迎える事ができ、
更にはダイヤモンドヘッドに掛かる“レインボー”のおまけ付き!?
天候にも左右されると思いますが、身近にサンセットを感じたい方には
コストパフォーマンスも含めおすすめのセーリングだと思います。
In recent years, I've enjoyed the sunset sailing on the catamaran every time! The scenery and atmosphere are truly amazing. There are fewer Japanese people, and the staff speaks English. I feel a bit anxious since I'm not very proficient in English, but it doesn't bother me at all!
ここ数年、毎回カタマラン号のサンセットセーリングを楽しんでいます!
ほんとに景色、雰囲気、最高です。
日本人は少なめ、スタッフも英語。英語が堪能でないのでちょっと不安な感じもするのですが、ちっとも気になりません!
Such a beautiful weather! The green color of the ocean and the blue skies doesn't lie! Thanks to the friendly crew of Mana Kai Catamaran for making this such a wonderful experience! The whole gang at my work decided to take this trip together and it was truly a great way for us to loosen up after a stressful week!
For only $31 per person, you'll enjoy a fun ride, sip on your favorite drink (BYOB), or snacks, listen to good music, and feeling the breezy tradewinds while watching the gorgeous scenic view of Waikiki! Ahhhh..mazing! I would go again for sure!
We had a great time on this catamaran cruise. Captain Johnny and his crew were awesome, and they made the experience to remember.
My first booking with another boat was declined since it was last minute, but VELTRA called me and suggested to book this one instead. I'm glad they did because it was definitely on my bucket list of things to do. The price was also reasonable. The boat is a bit smaller than expected and they don't serve any alcohol on board, so grab some beers from ABC store and they'll keep them cold for you. I'll recommend this cruise to everyone who is looking for something casual.
It was sunny and clear, perfect weather to go sailing! We had lunch before departing so we brought light appetizers & drinks on board. The only "table" was the top of the storage box. Luckily, we didn't bring anything too large with us so it wasn't too bad.
The ocean was beautiful even though the waves can get pretty rough. Highly recommend taking motion sickness medicine before going out. It made the experience so much more enjoyable without worrying about my stomach.
Captain Johnny & his crew were great! Very friendly and funny. It was like a bunch of friends hanging out on a sail. I didn't even care that I got splashed by the waves. You guys are the best, can't wait to go again!
This was a really fun sail. We ordered pizza and brought it on board with drinks, though since it was an afternoon sail we had most of our lunch before departing. Bench seating with no tables, so we had to improvise. Finger foods that are easy to eat and not very messy are ideal to bring on, as are cans and bottles for drinks.
It's really cool and windy out on the water, so it can get rough if the boat goes near Diamond Head where the water isn't protected from the waves. That said, if you're willing to get wet it's a lot of fun sitting on the netting and getting splashed!
Great crew, comfy boat, tasty drinks. Can definitely recommend this evening cruise!
The crew were outstanding!! Jason, the captain of the boat was very interactive with the kids regarding the operation of the boat. Jason and Lindsey were very good with the number of people and keeping the bar operating at a very good pace. I would suppose my only issue is that there aren’t any real tables to sit and eat. You need to find a place to enjoy the food, which by the way is very good. Overall, was worth the cost and would take this trip again. Thank you “Pride of Maui”
We were a group of Aussies celebrating my 50th in Hawaii. Thought this would be fun to do and we weren't wrong - everyone had a ball - even those who weren't expecting to. The weather was perfect - not needing jackets at all and the sunset was beautiful. We took heaps of photos with the sunset in the background and then Diamond Head as the boat turned around. The Open Bar was a great hit with the Mai Tai's flowing very nicely. The crew were friendly and fun. We had one member of our group worried about being sea sick but she said she felt nothing and really enjoyed the sail. Highly recommend doing this - all ages.
Thank you so much for the wonderful post! We would love to have you join us again! Your photos are beautiful!
Aloha, Mindy
It's a sunset sailing, but the fireworks viewing on Friday is after sunset, so you won't be able to see the sunset. I don't think people who don't understand English and can't drink alcohol will enjoy it. The fireworks were beautiful.
サンセットセーリングだけど、【金曜日】花火鑑賞付きは日の入り後なのでサンセットは見られません。
英語がわからずお酒が飲めない人は楽しめないと思います。
花火は綺麗でした。
Had a fun time, will go again next visit for sure!
Crew was good. Music was good. Would have liked more drink choices since it's called a booze cruise
Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent
I have participated with my mother, who is over 80 years old, for three consecutive years. I am satisfied with the staff's brightness, the thrill of the boat, and the delicious cocktails.
80歳を過ぎた母と3年連続で参加させていただいたています。
スタッフの明るさと船のスリルとおいしいカクテル 満足です。
My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!
I used this service on the last night of my trip to Hawaii. I was able to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery on a luxurious cruiser, creating the best memories. While most other tours had a majority of Japanese participants, this tour had many international guests. For $30, you can receive the photo data. I would love to use this service again!
ハワイ旅行最後の夜に利用しました。
高級感溢れるクルーザーで美味しい料理と、素敵な景色を見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。
他のツアーは日本人の方が大半ですが、こちらのツアーは海外の方がたくさん来ていました。
30ドルで写真のデータを送ってもらえます。
また利用したいです!
アトランティスクルーズをマジェスティック号でVELTRAを通じてご予約いただき、ありがとうございます。アロハ。
Mahalo for booking an Atlantis Cruise aboard Majestic with VELTRA. Aloha.
I participated on New Year's Day with hopes that 2018 would be a wonderful year.
The departure point for the catamaran was a bit hard to find, but I asked someone at a nearby shop and managed to locate it.
When boarding the cruise, you will have to step into the water from the sandy beach, so it's recommended to wear flip-flops or go barefoot.
There were many participants from countries other than Japan, allowing us to enjoy an international atmosphere.
The sight of the large sun slowly setting over the coastline is breathtaking. This tour allows you to feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature. The boat returns just after the sun has completely set, so you can thoroughly enjoy the view of the sunset.
The boat has a restroom, but be careful not to drink too much water (laughs).
2018年が素晴らしい1年になるよう願いを込めて、元旦に参加しました。
カタマラン出港場所が少し分かりにくく、
近くのお店の人に聞いて見つけました。
クルーズに乗り込む時は、砂浜から船に乗るため、水に足が浸かる形となります。乗る時はビーチサンダルか裸足がオススメです。
日本人以外の参加者の方も多く、インターナショナルな雰囲気が味わえます。
海岸線に大きな太陽がゆっくりと沈んでいく様子は圧巻です。
ハワイの自然の雄大さを感じられるツアーです。
夕日が完全に沈み終わった頃に船が帰着するので、日が沈んでいく様子をじっくりと楽しむことができました。
船にトイレは付いていますが、水分の取りすぎには要注意かも(笑)。
I participated with my 8-year-old son, and the sailing trip to the distant ocean was wonderful. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from out at sea was great! Occasionally, we got splashed by big waves and felt the wind, which got my son really excited!
8歳の息子と二人で参加しましたが、遠い沖までのセーリングで、離れた海の上からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが良かったです!
時折、大きな波を被ったり、風を感じて、息子も大興奮でした!
I had previously taken the catamaran during the day and found it very pleasant, so this time I chose this plan to enjoy the sunset, the catamaran, and some drinks! The catamaran was indeed enjoyable! The weather was great, and the sunset was amazing! There were not only beers but also Mai Tais and sparkling wine. They were delicious!
Last time I went, it was quite windy and cold, so I brought a long-sleeved hoodie, which was just right. However, it seemed tough for those who are prone to seasickness... If you don’t get seasick, I recommend the catamaran over the luxurious sunset cruise!
お昼のカタマランは以前乗ったことがあり、とても気持ち良かったので、今回は是非サンセットとカタマランとお酒を楽しめるこのプランにしました!
やっぱりカタマランは気持ち良かった!天気がよくて、サンセットも最高でした!アルコールも、ビールだけじゃなくてマイタイやスパークリングワインもありました。美味しかったです!
前回乗ったとき、風がかなりあり寒かったので、長袖のパーカーを持参したところ、ちょうどいい具合でした。
ただ、船酔いしやすい人はつらそうでした…。船酔いしないならば、豪華サンセットクルーズよりもカタマランがおすすめです!
We had a blast. Staff and skipper were sensational. Good drinks and a bloody good time!
I participated for the first time on a Friday night when the Hilton had fireworks. I thought the fireworks would be far away, but they were quite close and very beautiful! After that, I enjoyed the stunning night sky filled with stars. There wasn't anything particularly eventful, but the relaxed hour and a half spent sipping Mai Tais and wine was fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to go sailing during the day!
初めて参加しました。ヒルトンの花火がある金曜の夜に。花火は遠くからかなー、と思っていたのですが、かなり近くでとってもきれい!その後夜空の美しい星空も楽しめました。特にイベントらしいものはありませんでしたが、マイタイやワインを飲みながらゆったり流れる約一時間半の時間は最高でした。今度は昼のセーリングにぜひ行きたいです!
Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.
We used the service with three family members. There were only two other Japanese groups, and most of the participants were from Europe and America. Therefore, the staff provided all instructions in English, and they spoke very quickly. As someone who is not good at English at all, I could hardly understand anything (laughs). The staff didn't pay extra attention just because I was Japanese, so a certain level of English proficiency is essential. In fact, it might be better to try to communicate in broken English, as it could make other participants feel more comfortable.
If you can get past that, the atmosphere of everyone having fun together is really enjoyable, and the sunset is incredibly beautiful. I hope this helps!
家族3人で利用させてもらいました。他に日本人グループは2組だけで、ほとんどが欧米人の参加者。なのでスタッフもオール英語の案内。しかも早口のマシンガントーク。英語が全くダメな私はほぼ聞き取れませんでした(笑)スタッフも日本人だからということで気にかけてくれるわけではありませんので、ある程度の英語力は必須です。それどころか、他の参加者に気を使わせてしまうので、下手な英語でもコミュニケーションをとるようにした方がいいと思います。
そこをクリアすれば、みんなでワイワイやる雰囲気はとても楽しい(楽しそう)ですし、夕日も最高に綺麗です。参考になれば。
I chose this season to go on a boat to see whales, but unfortunately, I didn't spot any this time. However, I think it's great that I can try again with my boarding pass during my stay!
クジラを見たいがために、この季節を選び船に乗りましたが、残念ながら今回クジラの姿は見れませんでした。でも、滞在中乗船券でしたら再度挑戦できるので良いと思いました!!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to observe any whales on the day of your participation.
The next season will begin in January, so we hope you will join us again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
Star of Honolulu
私共のクルーズにお越しいただき誠に有難うございました。
ご参加いただきました日はクジラを観測いただけず、大変残念に思います。
1月より次のシーズンが始まりますので、またご参加いただければと思います。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
スターオブホノルル
Comfortable, scenic, and fun. The views were great and the crew were very attentive. They went above and beyond for a couple passengers with sea sickness.
Don't worry if you're the last to board and can't find a seat, once you take off everyone is outside and moving around. No wait at the bar or food table. Friendly crew, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge of the islands.
A light jacket or long sleeve shirt might be needed at sunset.
And don't arrive too early since there is a little wait before boarding.
Awesome time!
I was able to experience a refreshing atmosphere, a cool breeze, and stylish music that felt extraordinary! The sunset was beautiful and truly moving!
雰囲気、爽やかな風、おしゃれな音楽非日常を味わうことができました!サンセットもキレイで感動だったー!
Among the approximately 50 participants, we were the only Japanese family of four. We could hardly understand the staff's English announcements, but once we departed, each staff member spoke to us in broken Japanese.
We were swept up in the excitement of the international guests, and it was incredibly fun. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic.
50人ほどの参加者の中で日本人は、我々の家族4人だけで、スタッフの英語のアナウンスは、ほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、出発してからは、スタッフそれぞれが、片言の日本語で話掛けてくれました。
海外の方々の盛り上がりに引っ張られ、最高に楽しかった。もちろん日の入りも美しく、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高でした。
I am sensitive to boats, so I took motion sickness medication before boarding, but there was no rocking. The staff took photos and made the experience enjoyable, and it went by in a flash. I really enjoyed the cruise.
船に弱いので、酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船しましたが、
揺れも無く、スタッフの方々が写真を撮ってくれたり、
盛り上げてくれて楽しくあっという間だったです。
クルーズを満喫させて貰いました。
