Hawaii
I stayed in Hawaii for a wedding this time. I booked this sunset cruise as an optional tour that my parents and relatives could enjoy together! As expected, everyone from my elderly parents to my cousins in their 20s had a great time. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and the cheerful crew created a fun atmosphere, making the cruising experience fly by. The last time I came to Hawaii, I participated in the daytime cruise, but I personally recommend the sunset cruise because it’s not too hot, and the sea breeze feels nice! If you go to Hawaii, definitely consider joining this. It should be enjoyable for people of all ages and genders.
今回ウェディングのためにハワイに滞在しました。両親、親戚も一緒に楽しめるオプショナルツアーとしてこちらのサンセットクルーズを予約しました!期待通り高齢の両親から20代のいとこまで全員楽しむ事が出来ました。ドリンクは飲み放題で明るいクルー達が盛り上げてくれ楽しい雰囲気であっという間のクルージングです。前回ハワイに来たときは日中の本クルーズに参加しましたがサンセットクルーズのほうが暑すぎず海風が気持ち良くて個人的におすすめです!!ハワイに行かれる際は是非ご参加してみてください。年齢、性別問わずお楽しみいただけるはずです。
It was my first time going on a dinner cruise and it was everything i hoped it would be. The weather was nice and the view was beautiful. I was with my family that came to visit and they enjoyed it too. The food and customer service was good. I would bring back my family and friends here again.
We went for my daughter's graduation, we had a great time. The food was ok, but the performances and audience involvement made up for it. My kids really enjoyed it! The sunset was amazing!!! This is a must do activity.
I particularly enjoyed the unique views of Waikiki that we got on the catamaran. The breeze was nice and the beautiful sunset made it all the more special. I would love to do this again!
The dinner cruise was fun and a very enjoyable one. Our relatives from Philippines whom we treated with the cruise were really surprised and they’re so grateful. It was perfect and worthy experience for all of us.
We are so glad you and your family enjoyed yourselves! We look forward to having you aboard again in the future! Mahalo! MakaniCat
My tour of the Big Island was canceled at the last minute due to the volcanic eruption, so since I was already in Hawaii, I quickly booked a sunset cruise. Thanks to arriving early, I was able to get a nice window seat and was among the first in line for the buffet, which made me happy. The experience wasn't perfect because there was a Chinese family whose kids were climbing on the sofa with their shoes on, throwing cushions, and running around, making a lot of noise. It really ruined the atmosphere.
ハワイ島観光が噴火の影響で直前キャンセルになり、すでにハワイにいたので急遽サンセットクルーズを申し込みました。
早めに現地に着いたおかげで窓側のいい席をとれてブッフェも最初に並ぶことができて満足です。
満点にならなかったのは中国のファミリーがいて子供達が土足でソファにあがったり、クッション投げをしたり、バタバタ走り回っていてうるさかったです。せっかくのムードが台無し。
I was worried about seasickness, so I participated without alcohol. There were many people besides Japanese, and the atmosphere on the boat was lively. We were blessed with good weather, and it was a wonderful sunset time. I would like to join this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
船酔いが心配だったので、ノンアルコールで参加しました。
日本人以外もたくさんいて、船上はにぎやかでした。
お天気にも恵まれ、素敵なサンセットタイムでした。
またハワイに行った際は、参加したいツアーです。
I booked a tour for the next day while I was there. I received a confirmation email and waited at the pickup location on the day of the tour, but after waiting for over 20 minutes, no one showed up... I couldn't speak English, so I had to call, and with the help of the hotel staff, I managed to convey my issue. It seems the tour company said there was no reservation. In the end, I took a taxi to the boat and got a refund for the taxi fare, so I was able to participate in the tour after all. Since I didn't incur any financial loss, I asked Veltra to check the situation after returning home, and they responded sincerely. The tour itself was fine (I even saw a whale, albeit just a little), but it might be a bit risky to make last-minute reservations.
現地にいる時に翌日のツアーを予約しました。
予約完了メールも来て、当日迎えの場所で待っていましたが20分以上待っても来ず…英語が喋れないけど電話するしかない、とホテルの人に手伝ってもらいなんとか要件を伝えると、予約が入っていないとツアー催行会社から言われたようで…
結局タクシーで船のところまで行ってタクシー代を返金してもらえ、ツアーに参加することが出来たのでなんとかなりました。
金銭的に損をしたわけではなかったので、帰国後ベルトラさんに状況確認だけお願いしたところ誠実に対応してくださいました。
ツアー自体は問題ありませんでしたが(鯨もちょこっとだけ見れました)、直前の予約は少し注意が必要かもしれません。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We appreciate your valuable feedback. We will work together as a team to improve on the issues raised. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
A family of 11, including adults and infants, participated. They enjoyed a fun time while eating at the buffet, and eventually, as sunset approached, everyone was satisfied.
大人、乳幼児11人のファミリー参加しました。
ビュッフェを食べながら楽しく過ごし、やがてサンセットの時間になりみんな満足していました。
Easily booked.
Rather difficult to find the place to check in.
Excellent captain and hostess.
Could go a bit further in the ocean instead of making a couple of rounds near the shore.
I have been on a catamaran before and have participated in sunset cruises, but this time was the best.
Above all, the hospitality of the captain and the bartender was outstanding!
And not only did we see the sunset, but we also got to see dolphins!
I have seen whales before, but they were a bit far away, so that was a little disappointing. However, this time, as the captain said, we saw them up close.
And the casual interactions with the friendly mainland people on board.
I was reminded once again how important it is for each person to connect!
カタマランには以前にも乗ったことがあるし、サンセットクルーズにも参加したことがあるし、、、と思いながら参加したのですが、今回のは最高でした。
何より船長とバーテンダーのホスピタリティが最高!
そして、サンセットだけでなく、なんとイルカも見ることができました!
クジラは見たことがあるのですが、やや遠かったので少し残念でした。しかし今回は、船長の言った通り、すごく間近で見るました。
そして船上でのフランクなメインランドの人達とのささいな関わり。
人間、ひとりひとりが関わることが大事なんだと改めて実感しました!
At the meeting point, there are similar boats, so it's essential to confirm the logo of the black-hulled "Mai Tai." At first, I mistakenly went to the reception of a different boat in front. When the start time arrived, there was an energetic explanation, and we boarded with that same excitement. Soon after, Mai Tais were served, but you really have to go and get them yourself. There were many young Americans, and the atmosphere felt just like a party. We went out much further than I expected, and Diamond Head was beautiful. You can enjoy it for a full two hours.
集合場所に、似たような船があるので
黒い船体の「マイタイ」というロゴの確認必須。
最初、手前の違う船の受付へ行ってしまいました。
開始時間になると、ノリノリの説明があり
そのテンションのまま、乗船。
すぐに、マイタイがふるまわれますが、
自分から、グイグイ取りに行かないとだめです。
若いアメリカ人多し、まさにパーティ会場のようなテンションで
突っ走ります。
思っていたより、かなり沖まで行ってくれて
ダイアモンドヘッドがきれいでした。
二時間たっぷり、楽しめます。
We have been on other dinner cruises but this one was by far the best. I was very sceptical about doing another dinner cruise but friends we came with wanted to. The las one we went on was very hot and impersonal. This one was very different. We picked it because it was a sail and it was a smalll group and it was wonderful. The food, the crew and everything about it was great. It wasn’t hot even though we were sun side on the sail out. There was a breeze and we were able to move about the boat. The food was really good. Captain Emily was funny and experienced and we chatted with the other small group of guests. We had a good time and I would do it again.
An American group with a wedding reception vibe, just so cheerful! Unlimited Mai Tais, 4 to 5 cups! I was surprised by the dolphins jumping.
結婚式二次会風のアメリカ人グループ、とにかく陽気❗️ マイタイ飲み放題を4~5杯‼️ イルカのジャンプにはびっくりしました。
Check-in was at 2:30 PM, so I arrived a bit early, around 2:20 PM, and checked in right at 2:30 PM. However, it felt quite relaxed, as it seemed you could check in anytime between 2:30 PM and 2:45 PM.
The sunset cruise was fully booked a few days in advance, but it seemed like the daytime cruise was okay for same-day reservations. Those who were boarding on the day had paper wristbands on their arms, and there were quite a few of them.
There are restrooms available. The drinks for the daytime cruise were not all-you-can-drink, as stated on Veltra, so I went with that expectation. In reality, the bartender explained things in long sentences in English, which I didn't quite understand, but I heard him mention prices like "beer ◯ dollars" and "Mai Tai ◯ dollars." However, everyone seemed to just tell the bartender what drinks they wanted, giving it a feel of all-you-can-drink.
Tips were being thrown in with $10 and $20 bills. I guess it was implied that while the beer was ◯ dollars, you should tip on top of that? I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper explanation in Japanese at check-in regarding that system. Regulars were already ordering drinks and starting to drink before the explanation.
On the boat, people who didn’t know each other were chatting and having a good time, but if you can’t speak English, you might feel a bit isolated. It seems like it would be more fun with a larger group.
チェックインが14:30なので早めに14:20くらいに着いて14:30ぴったりにチェックインしましだが、14:30〜14:45くらいまでにチェックインすれば良いような緩い感じでした。
サンセットの方は予約で数日前から埋まってましたが、昼の部は当日でもOKのようです。当日受付に言って乗る人たちは腕に紙のリングを巻いてましたが、かなりいました。
トイレあります。
ドリンクは昼の部は飲み放題ではないとベルトラに書いてあったので、そのつもりで乗りました。
実際はバーテンダーが英語で長文で説明されたので良くわからなかったのですが、ビール◯ドル、マイタイ◯ドルとか読み上げてましたが、みんなバーテンダーに飲みたいドリンクを言って飲み放題感覚でした。
チップは10ドル紙幣や20ドル紙幣がガンガン入れられていました。
「ビール◯ドルだけど、チップで入れてね」ってことだったのでしょうか?
あのシステムは日本語にして受付で紙で配ってくれても良いなと思いました。常連さんは乗った時から(説明前)ドリンクをオーダーして飲み始めてました。
船上は知らない人同士も気さくに話し合い盛り上がっていましたが、英語が話せないとポツンとしてしまいます。大人数で乗った方が盛り上がるでしょうね。
we absolutely loved our trip on the Mana Kai Catamaran! Our captain was named Brewski and he made sure that we all had a great time and everybody was safe. Beautiful views, fun vibe, and good people.
Buy a handle of rum and mix it with some fresh Hawaiian juices, mix it up in a huge jug and bring it aboard for everybody to share! you will make friends quick! everyone is on vacation so its a great vibe
It was an exciting and enjoyable evening. I had to make a reservation early for the evening, as last year it was fully booked and I couldn't get in. This time, I made a reservation from Japan and went on my second choice date. Since most of the guests were Japanese, I felt a bit more at ease.
迫力があり楽しい夕時でした。
夕方の予約は早い目にしないといけないので去年は予約いっぱいでダメだったので今回は日本で予約して第二希望日で乗りました。日本の方がほとんどだったので少し安心でした。
This was my third time on the Sunset Sailing Mai Tai Catamaran, and for the first time, I saw other Japanese participants besides ourselves.
Still, the view of Diamond Head from the sea, the refreshing scenery and breeze, and the setting sun were amazing. I think when I go to Hawaii again, I will rely on the Sunset Sailing for my fourth time.
今回で3回目の【サンセットセーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号】でしたが、初めて自分達以外の日本人が参加しているのを見ました。
それでも海側から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、爽やかな景色と風、沈んでいく夕日は最高で、またハワイに行った時には4回目のサンセットセーリングにお世話になると思います。
Friday night firework dinner cruise was fantastic.
Drinks, music, food, picturesque views of the city, mountains, and ocean. Sat on the front of the boat outside with my wife and 2 teenage boys.
A memory that’s hard to recreate. I read reviews prior to the trip and saw griping about the food.
Ridiculous in my opinion. If you want gourmet food then go to a 5 Star restaurant. If you want the memory of a sunset cruise on a catamaran with fireworks, alcoholic beverages, music, and fun people the. I recommend
Watching the fireworks from the sea on Friday was such a luxury. The yacht cruiser was comfortable and didn't sway much. The food wasn't gourmet, but there was plenty of it, and drinks were generously unlimited. Above all, the captain and the crew were all fantastic.
金曜日の花火を洋上から見るなんてとても贅沢でした。
ヨット・クルーザーはさして揺れることもなく快適で、
料理は高級ではないが、量は十分あり、飲み物もご厚意で飲み放題でした。
何より船長はじめ乗組員は皆様最高です。
The wind was strong and the waves were high, but it was a pleasant sailing experience while enjoying a Mai Tai. Last time, dolphins swam alongside us, so I was hoping for the same this time, but unfortunately, they didn't show up! I would love to participate again.
風が強く波も高かったけど、マイタイを頂きながら気持ちいいセーリングでした。前回はイルカが併走したので今回も期待してたのですが、今回は現れてくれず残念! また参加したいです。
I have visited Hawaii many times, but it has been a while since I went out to sea on a boat. My wife, who easily gets seasick, suggested trying a catamaran cruise. Unfortunately, due to the cloudy sky and strong winds, we couldn't see the sunset, but we enjoyed a pleasant time in the sea breeze. Next time, I would like to go on a calm, sunny day.
これまで何度となく訪れたハワイですが、海に船で出るのは久しぶり。船酔いしやすい妻が乗ってみたいと言い出したカタマラン・クルーズ。
曇り空かつ風の強い日だったため、サンセットは残念ながら見ることはできなかったが、潮風の中を心地よい時間を過ごせた。
今度は晴れた穏やかな日に乗船してみたいと思う。
I was relieved to find out that it was okay as long as I arrived by the boarding time when I called because I was running late for check-in. It was a day with very strong winds and quite high waves, and almost everyone got pretty wet when boarding the boat from the shore. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the sunset, but it was a great experience to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. I would like to try again next time.
チェックイン時間に遅刻しそうになりTelすると、乗船時間までに来てくれればOKとのことで助かりました。風が非常に強い日で波がかなり高く、波打ち際から船に乗り込む際にほとんど全員がかなり濡れました。
サンセットは残念ながら見れませんでしたが、海から見るワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドはいい経験になりました。
次回リベンジしたいと思います。
The sunset was obstructed by clouds as it sank into the sea, but this cruise was very pleasant, and believe it or not, it's my fourth time. When you come to Hawaii, you have to take this cruise to really get started!
サンセットは海に沈むには雲が邪魔しちゃいましたが、とってもこのクルーズは気持ちがよくなんだかんだと4回目です。ハワイに来たらこれに乗らないと始まらないね!
It was boring because everything was in English and I couldn't understand what was being said. It felt like a waste of money since it was only foreigners who were excited. The snacks were also not great.
英語ばかりで英語がわからないと何を言っているのかわからずつまらなかった。外国人だけで盛り上がり高いお金を出したのにもったいなかったです。軽食ももイマイチでした。
During the night tour, we could watch the fireworks. I recommend bringing a jacket or windbreaker to protect against the cold wind.
Night tour we could watch the fireworks. I recomand to bring jacket or wind breaker for preventig from cold wind.
This is my second time participating. This time, I tried it during sunset. Unfortunately, due to the weather, I wasn't able to see the sunset, but no matter what time you participate, it's an activity where you can feel the breeze of Waikiki. I'm sure I want to ride again.
二度目の参加です
今回はサンセットの時間帯にしてみました
あいにくの天気で夕日にはお目にかかることが出来ませんでしたが
ただ、どの時間帯に参加してもワイキキの風を感じられるアクティビティです
きっとまた乗りたいと思います
This is my second time participating. Last time, after checking in, I wasn't informed of anything and just waited for over 40 minutes. However, this time, perhaps due to improvements in the system, I was informed of the meeting time 50 minutes later at check-in, which allowed me to return to the hotel for a bit. Unfortunately, the cruise was marred by cloudy weather, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset.
2度目の参加です。前回は受け付けをしてから何も伝えてもらえず、ただただ40分以上待たされましたが、今回は、システムが改善されたのか、受け付け時に50分後の集合時間を伝えてもらえてた事で、一度ホテルに帰る事が出来ました。肝心のクルーズは、生憎の曇天だったためサンセットを見られず残念でした。
I was nervous about whether we would make it since our pickup was over 30 minutes late. A young American couple waiting next to us asked, "Where is it going?" When I showed them my voucher, we realized we were on the same tour, and they contacted the tour company for us, which was a relief. The atmosphere on the boat wasn't bad, but it seemed a bit off for us. The only time it really got lively was during the fireworks. Well, the main purpose was to see the fireworks from the sea, so my husband and I thought, "Well, it's okay," as we returned home. Ah, it’s hard to say we had a lot of fun, though.
お迎えが30分以上遅れて間に合うのかドキドキでした.隣でお迎えを待っていた若いアメリカ人のカップルの男性がwere is go と聞いてくれたのでバウチャーを見せると同じツアーということが分かりツアー会社に連絡をとってくれたので一安心でした.船の中の雰囲気は悪くないけど私たちにはちょっと合わなかったようです.花火のときだけは大盛り上がり まあ一番の目的は海上から花火を見ることだったので主人と二人 まあいいか と帰ってきました.ああー楽しかったとは言い難いかな?
It was a wonderful activity. The sunset while swaying on the waves was the best time. The Mai Tai was great too. Interacting with the people I rode with made it even more enjoyable.
とても素晴らしいACTIVITY
波に揺られてサンセットが見れて最高の時間(^ ^)でした。マイタイ がまた合う(^ ^)
一緒に乗った人達との交流がまた楽しさを倍増させてくれた。
