All Reviews for Sunset & Cocktail Cruises

I participated with my wife and sister. It was really great. We had planned to enjoy a sunset and fireworks while having dinner and a beer on a yacht cruise, but something unexpectedly wonderful happened. --- A whale jumped right next to the yacht! Everyone was surprised, shouting "Wow!" and it was a big commotion on the yacht! Afterward, we disembarked while enjoying the starry sky with a beer in hand. I want to go again!

妻と姉の3人で参加しました。メッチャ良かったです。サンセットと花火をディナーを食べながらビールを一杯飲んでヨットでクルーズの予定が、うれしい予定外のことがありました。---ヨットからすぐ傍でクジラがジャンプ！モーみんなびっくり、キャー・ワー、ヨット中大騒ぎ！ビール片手に星空鑑賞しながら下船。また行きたいなあё

I boarded the ship on February 28th, and the weather was wonderful. The sunset over Diamond Head and the Hawaiian breeze felt great... I even saw whales, it was just amazing! Next time, I want to go with my family.

2月28日に乗船しました、天候にも恵まれ夕日にダイアモンドヘッドそしてハワイの風が気持ちいい…鯨まで見れてもう最高！次回は家族で行きたいです。

Since nature is the main factor, I didn't have overly high expectations, but I was able to see many whales and dolphins. I think I was just lucky. The price was also reasonable, and I was very satisfied. Additionally, I had no issues with seasickness, which was my biggest concern.

自然が前提なのであまり過度な期待はしなかったのですが、鯨も、そしてイルカもたくさん見ることができました。たまたまラッキーだったんだと思います。
お値段も安かったし、大満足です。
そして一番心配だった船酔いも全く問題ありませんでした。

We used this service as a family. It included my elderly parents, my uncle and aunt, and my siblings. The ages ranged from older to younger, but everyone was very satisfied. Feeling the wind while cruising on a yacht, which is different from a luxury cruise ship, was fun for us in a more attraction-like sense. However, there was no one who spoke Japanese, so we couldn't understand the pre-participation explanation at all, and we also couldn't follow the announcements during the cruise, which was a bit scary, but that was part of the charm. We enjoyed ourselves with the cheerful crew and other guests. Drinks were free, but there didn't seem to be any non-alcoholic options. For those who can't drink alcohol, you'll quickly realize after taking a sip that it's better to avoid it. Also, the meeting point at the Waikiki Ligar Catamaran was surprisingly hard to find. I recommend checking the map in advance.

家族で利用しました。
年配の両親、親戚のおじ夫婦、私たち兄弟です。
年齢は年配～若手までですが、全員大満足でした。
風を感じながら、豪華客船とは違うヨット？でのクルーズのほうが
私たちにとってはアトラクション的な意味合いでも、楽しかったです。
でも、日本語をしゃべれる人がいなかったので、参加前の説明もまったくわからず、
クルーズ中の案内もわからず・・って意味では少し怖かったけど、
それもご愛嬌。
陽気なクルーと、外人さんたちとみんなで楽しめました。
飲み物はフリーですが、ノンアルコールは、ない感じでした。
お酒が飲めない方は、一口飲めばすぐにわかると思いますが
飲まないほうが無難です。
あと集合場所のワイキキリガーカタマランが意外にわかりづらかったです。
事前に地図で調べていくことをお勧めします。

It's surprisingly small, and since you can't see it up close, if you have too high expectations, you might think it's not much. When a whale is spotted, there will be an announcement in the direction it was seen, so I think it's important to dash and secure a good spot. If you don't make an effort to move, you might end up not seeing anything at all.

意外と小さいくて、あまり近くではみれないので、あまり期待し過ぎてるとこんなもんかと思ってしまいます。
クジラが見えたら見えた方向の放送がはいるので、ダッシュしていい場所が取れるかが重要だと思います。
頑張って移動したりしないと見れないで終わってしまったりもあり得ると思います。

I participated in a whale watching cruise for the first time in Hawaii.
I saw them!! Whales!!
I saw them multiple times. It was amazing.

And I also saw dolphins.
The dolphins jumped close to the boat.
Even though it was a whale watching tour, I was really lucky to see dolphins too.

As expected, in February in Hawaii, you can see both whales and dolphins. I was lucky.

I heard there are days when you can't see them.

You don't even need to go to the upper deck; the second floor was enough to see well.
On the contrary, you can see the dolphins much closer from the second floor.
The upper deck was packed with people!!

I hope everyone who participates gets to see them too!

Hawaiiで初めてホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。
見えましたよ！！ホエール！！
何回も見えました。見ました(^_-)-☆
何頭もいました。感動です。

そして、ドルフィンも見ました。
ドルフィンは、船の近くでジャンプもしてくれました。
ホエールウォッチングなのに、ドルフィンも見れてすごくラッキーでした。

やっぱり2月のHawaiiでは、ホエールもドルフィンも見えるんですね。っていうかラッキーでした。

見えない日もあるみたいですよ。

船の上の階にいかなくても、２Ｆでも充分見れました。
逆にドルフィンは２Ｆの方が、すごく近くで見れますよ。
上の階は、人でいっぱい！！

参加した方が、みなさん見れますように(^_-)-☆

This was my first time participating, and I was able to see a lot from a distance! I booked the option without meals, and I think that was a good choice.

About 20 minutes after departure, we started to see whales, so those who were at the buffet couldn't concentrate on their meals anymore. If you choose the meal option, I think it's better to finish eating early as the ship departs.

I was able to see more than I expected, and I was very satisfied!

初めて参加しましたが、やや遠目にたくさん見れました！
食事なしのものを予約しましたがそれでよかったように思います。

出港して20分くらいでクジラが見え始めたので、ビュッフェ中の人は食事に集中できなくなってました。
食事つきにするのなら、船の出港とともに早めに食べ終えたほうがいいと思います。

思ったよりたくさん見れて、大満足でした！

My wife and I enjoyed the activity.

My husband and I went on a morning cruise on Valentine's day. We were so excited to spot pods of whales we forgot to go downstairs to join in Hawaiian activities. Unfortunately we couldn't come across impressive acts of whales, but we'll keep it next time.

It's simply fun. I was a bit anxious at first because there weren't many Japanese people, but once I toasted with a Mai Tai and had some drinks, it didn't matter. Surrounded by cheerful Westerners, I enjoyed the atmosphere, was moved by the sunset, and immersed myself in the travel experience.

I recommend using this on the last day of your trip.

単純に楽しいです。
あまり日本人がいないため最初はちょっと不安でしたが、マイタイで乾杯してお酒が入れば関係ありません。
陽気な西洋人に囲まれて一緒に盛り上がり、夕陽を見て感動し、旅情に浸れます。

利用は旅行の最終日がおススメです。

I participated on February 11. The weather was cloudy, there were strong winds at sea, and the air conditioning indoors made it quite cold. However, considering the low budget and that breakfast was included, I was satisfied. I was able to see whales multiple times, which was great. It took about 3 hours and 30 minutes from leaving the hotel to returning, so the schedule was easy to manage.

２月１１日に参加しました。天候は曇りで、海上は強風、室内は冷房が効いていたので、実は寒かったです(＠_＠;)
しかしながら、低予算で朝食付きということもあり、満足しました。肝心のクジラを何度も見ることができましたので、良かったです。ホテルを出発して、戻ってくるまで３時間３０分程度だったので、スケジュール的にも楽々でした。

We were staying at the Sheraton for a friend's wedding and decided that this was close and a perfect way to spend an evening, and boy were we were right! The delicious and bottomless maitais made for a great night and the best way to enjoy Hawaii's signiature sunshine.

The boat boarded right from the beach almost directly in front of our hotel, and from there we cruised along Waikiki for unbelievable views. The crew was excellent and this is a must do for anyone wanting to go sailing in Hawaii. Enjoy!

This was my first time participating in a whale watching cruise. I didn't know there were whales just a few kilometers from Waikiki. Depending on the timing, we could only see a little bit of their backs in the distance, which was a bit disappointing.

はじめてホエールウォッチングクルーズ参加。
ワイキキから数キロのところにクジラがいるなんて知りませんでした。
タイミングもりますが遠くに背中が少し見える程度だったのでちょっと残念でした。

For those who participated in the morning cruise, it was reported that they only saw a baby whale briefly, and it seemed that the participants from another tour yesterday had a similar experience, so I honestly didn't have high expectations.

However, during the afternoon cruise, we were able to see adult whales and baby whales up close, as well as whales jumping in the distance. Although we chose a course that included a meal, my son was so excited about the whale sightings that he neglected his food to go watch the whales, and he was thrilled to have seen them a total of 21 times. I regret thinking that if we had chosen the course without lunch from the beginning, we could have focused more on the whales.

I definitely recommend the no-lunch option for those who really want to see whales.

朝のクルーズに参加の方は、子供のクジラがちょっと見えただけとのことで、昨日の別のツアーの方も同じような状況だったので、正直、あまり期待していませんでした。
ところが、お昼のクルーズでは、大人のクジラや子供のクジラが近くで見ることが出来たり、遠くでジャンプするクジラも見ることが出来ました。
折角、食事つきのコースにしたのですが息子はクジラ情報がでると食事そっちのけでクジラを見に行ってましたが、合計21回見れたと大変喜んでいました。はじめっから、ランチなしのコースにしておけば、私たちもクジラに集中できたのでは？と反省しています。
是非、クジラを観たいという方は、ランチなしがお勧めです。

I made a reservation on the night of my arrival in Hawaii!

The dinner cruise's food and performance were very satisfying!

The vow renewal ceremony also became a wonderful memory, but I couldn't catch everything that was said in English during the proceedings (^_^;)

Also, since it was the night of my arrival in Hawaii, I was feeling a bit dazed from jet lag, and towards the end of the dinner cruise, I was battling sleepiness (^_^;)

If you're not confident about dealing with jet lag, I wouldn't recommend the dinner cruise on your first night in Hawaii (>_<)

If it weren't for the sleepiness, I might have enjoyed it a bit more (>_<)

ハワイ到着日の夜に申し込みました！

ディナークルーズのお食事＆パフォーマンスは大満足でした！

バウリニューアルのセレモニーも素敵な思い出になりましたが、

ただ、進行する時の言葉が全て英語であまり聞き取れなかったです(^_^;)

それから、ハワイ到着日の夜と言う事もあり、時差ボケで頭が朦朧としてきて

ディナークルーズの終盤は睡魔との闘いでした(^_^;)

時差に自信ない方は、ハワイ初日のディナークルーズはおすすめ出来ません(>_<)

睡魔が襲ってこなければ、もう少し楽しめたかも(>_<)

A large bus came to pick us up at the hotel, and the explanations in Japanese were thorough, which made us feel at ease participating.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but the boat was large, so it didn't sway, and we were able to enjoy a wonderful cruise.

大きなバスでホテルまでお迎えに来てくださり、
日本語の説明もしっかりあって安心して参加できました。

残念ながらホエールを見ることはできませんでしたが、
船が大きかったため揺れることもなく素敵なクルーズを
おくることができました。

Last time, I participated in the daytime Takamalan. I was very impressed then, so this time I joined the sunset event. The views of Waikiki, the sunset, and Diamond Head from the yacht are all breathtaking. I believe it's definitely worth participating at least once.

前回は昼のタカマランに参加しました。
そのときも大変感動したので今回はサンセットに参加。
ヨットから見るワイキキ・夕日・ダイヤモンドヘッド・どれをとっても感激します。
一度は参加する価値大いにあると思います。

Enjoyed the entire morning activity. Saw several pods of whales and the boat ride itself was fun. Would recommend light sweater as it was very windy!

Thanks to you, I was able to see whales up close. The staff told us, "When the boat suddenly turns, there will be a whale nearby," and right after that, one appeared.

On the way back, I learned to play the ukulele and performed in front of everyone... I had a very fulfilling time. If I have the chance to go again in winter, I would definitely like to participate. Thank you very much.

おかげさまで、すぐ近くでクジラを観ることができました。
「船が急にターンすると、すぐ近くにクジラがいるよ」と
スタッフが教えてくれて、実際その直後に出現しました。

帰り際にはウクレレを習って、
皆の前で演奏したり・・・
とっても充実した時間を過ごすことができました。
またぜひ冬に行くことがあれば、参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

The sunset and fireworks were both amazing! However, on that day, the wind was strong and the waves were high, causing quite a bit of rocking on the boat. My companion got seasick, so I had to take care of them, which meant I could only enjoy about half of the experience. Still, I was satisfied. Despite causing some trouble for the staff, they responded with smiles throughout, and I am very grateful for that.

サンセット、花火ともに最高でした！
ただ、この日は風が強く波も高く船の揺れがけっこうあり、連れ添いが船酔いをしてしまい介抱していたため半分位しか楽しめませんでした。それでも満足でした。
スタッフのみなさんに迷惑を掛けたにもかかわらず、終始笑顔で対応していただき感謝・感謝です。

On the last day, I went with a friend.
There were hardly any Japanese participants, so I really felt like I was abroad.
The captain spoke in English, but even though I didn't understand, I enjoyed the atmosphere. The music playing and everyone getting into the groove was fun, and the sunset was truly moving. I was lucky enough to see a whale and a rainbow.

However, even if the weather is nice, I felt cold, so it's definitely best not to stay in a wet swimsuit. A cover-up is absolutely necessary.
The boat sways due to the waves, but the ride isn't too rough. Drinks were distributed freely, but I hardly drank any because it was cold.

The sunset on the last day was really the best!

最終日に友人と乗りました。
参加メンバーに日本人はほとんどいなくて、海外に来たなぁと感じられます。
なにやら英語でキャプテンが話したりしてますが、分からなくても雰囲気で充分楽しめました。音楽が流れて周りもノリノリになるのも楽しかったですし、
サンセットは本当に感動します。偶然クジラや虹見れました。

ただいくら天気が良くても寒いと感じたので、濡れたまま水着で…とかは絶対にやめた方がいいです。羽織りが必ず必要です。
波によって揺れますが激しい運転ではありません。ドリンクは勝手に配られるって感じでほとんど飲んでません。寒かったので。

最終日のサンセットは本当に最高でした！

The ship was surprisingly large, and there were participants from various countries on board, which made it very enjoyable. It might be due to the season, but it felt a bit chilly while anchored offshore, so I recommend bringing a warm jacket. It's not often you get the chance to see Waikiki from offshore, and with the waves, the background music, and a Mai Tai, I was completely in a good mood.

思いの他大きい船で、乗船される参加者も色々なお国に人が居て、とても楽しかったです。
時期的な事かもしれませんが、沖合いで停泊している間はやや肌寒い感じがしましたので、しっかりと上着を用意する事をお勧めします。
なかなか沖合いからワイキキを見る機会も無いことですし、波とBGMとマイタイで、すっかり良い気分になりました。

It was a whale watching experience blessed by good weather, but I only saw a baby whale spouting in the distance at first, and after that, I couldn't see anything else. Well, it's a living creature, so there's nothing we can do about it.

However, the staff with the Japanese guide were wonderful, and it’s not often you get to enjoy the view of the horizon from the boat, as well as Waikiki and Diamond Head, so I had a great time!

Since it's a trip abroad, it might also be nice to hear local recommendations from the Japanese guide.

天候にも恵まれたホエールウォッチングでしたが、
最初に子どもクジラの潮吹きが遠くに見えたっきり、それ以降は見る事ができませんでした。まぁ、生き物なので仕方ないですね。

しかしながら、日本語ガイドのスタッフの対応も素晴らしく、また船上から水平線を眺めたり、ワイキキ＆ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺める事が出来る機械はなかなかないので、十分楽しめました！

せっかくの海外ですので、日本語ガイドから現地のおすすめ情報を聞いたりするのも良いかもしれませんよ。

We had a very pleasant sunset sail on the MaiTai. The crew was great, the free flowing maitai's tasty, and the sunset beautiful. We managed to see a few whales as well. A fun time. I'd do it again.

I might have had too high expectations. I was able to see the whale several times, but it was quite far away, which made it feel a bit lacking in impact.

期待しすぎていたのかくじらが何度か見ることができましたがかなり遠い！？のか小さいのか少し迫力にかけた感じが残りました。

We had a great time!

I participated in the morning tour on January 3rd. Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales at all. The breakfast included eggs, sausages, and bread, and it was quite substantial for the price.

During the New Year period, the weather in Honolulu was consistently bad with rain coming and going, but thanks to that, I was able to see a big rainbow from the boat.

I have been on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise several times, and during those times, it makes a U-turn just before Diamond Head. However, this tour goes even further. It was interesting to view Oahu from the sea, as well as the backside of Diamond Head.

But I really wanted to see whales...

1/3の午前中のツアーに参加しました。
残念ながらクジラは全く見ることが出来ませんでした。
朝食は卵やソーセージ、パンなどがあり、お値段の割にはしっかりと取れました。

お正月の期間ホノルルはずっと天候が悪く雨が降ったり止んだりでしたが、お蔭で船から大きな虹を見ることが出来ました。

スターオブホノルルのディナークルーズに何度か乗ったことがありますが、その際はダイヤモンドヘッドの手前あたりでＵターンします。
ですが、こちらのツアーさらにその先まで行きます。
海からオアフ島を、またダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで眺める事ができたのは面白かったです。

でもクジラを見たかった…

The weather was perfect, and I had a wonderful time. It felt amazing. I had read in the reviews that I might get wet, so I brought a change of clothes, but perhaps because the waves were calm, I didn't get wet at all. It turned out we were the only Japanese people there, which was actually nice. I couldn't communicate in Japanese at all... The meeting place was completely different from what was written. I was glad I had allowed plenty of time, but if I had been cutting it close... The actual yacht was located near the Sheraton. The cocktails were delicious. Everyone I went with was very satisfied. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to go on this again.

天候にも恵まれ、優雅な時間を過ごせました。
最高に気持ちよかったです。
クチコミにも濡れるとあったので、着替えを持って行きましたが、波が穏やかだったからか、全く濡れませんでした。
やはり日本人は私達だけでした。それが逆によかったです。
日本語は全く通じませんでしたが…
集合場所が書いてある場所と全然違います。余裕を持って動いていたのでよかったですが、ギリギリだったら…
実際ヨットがあったのはシェラトン前あたりでした。
カクテルもおいしかったです。
一緒に行ったみんなが大満足でした。
またハワイに行く事があったらまた乗りたいと思います。

The weather was bad, I got seasick, and there were no whales; it was the worst.

天候が悪く、船酔いはするは、鯨は居らず最悪でした。

Looking out at Waikiki Beach from the sea, Diamond Head presented a different view than usual, with the blue sky and blue ocean, and the gentle breeze made it perfect.

Whales appeared on the surface multiple times, and each time we were in a flurry of excitement.

I have visited Hawaii many times, but this was my first whale watching experience. I wasn't very interested at first, but it turned out to be much better than I expected.

ワイキキビーチを海から眺め、ダイヤモンドヘットもいつもと違う景色、青空に青い海、風も穏やかで最高でした。

クジラも何度も水面に姿をあらわし、その度に右往左往。
大きな船で船酔いもせず快適でした。

何度もハワイを訪れてますがホエールウォッチングは初めて、あまり興味なかったのですが思っていた以上でとても良かったです。
