Hawaii
This time, two women participated. Since it was September, we were blessed with good weather. One of us joined because of Alan's campaign, so I think we got a bit of a bonus there. We participated in the 3 PM departure, which was nice because the sun wasn't too strong. Depending on the day, the sailing departures are at 11 AM, 1 PM, and 3 PM. There are also tours where you can stop the catamaran offshore for snorkeling, and a sunset sail starting at 5 PM, which I recommend!
The location is easy to find; just look for the friendly old man standing there as a landmark. Once we head offshore, you can enjoy drinks on the catamaran. I think it was around $5... they also have champagne and cocktails. The captain and staff were really nice!
I believe we were on a tour that usually doesn’t stop offshore, but since there were mostly a small number of foreigners, we stopped at a point with fish, and everyone changed into swimsuits and jumped in. As expected, foreigners know how to have fun! With such surprises, I definitely recommend wearing a swimsuit for participation. Everyone should join and enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea!
今回は女性二人の参加。９月といこともあり天気にも恵まれました。
今回は一人はアランのキャンペーン参加で参加したのでちょっと得したかな？
私達が参加したのは日差しがきつくない３時出発で参加しました。登場は曜日にもよるけど１１時、１時、３時の出発がセーリングです。他には沖合いでカタマランを止めシュノーケリングをするツアーや５時からのサンセットセイルもあるようでお勧めですよ！
場所はすぐにわかります。やさしいおじさんがたっているのが目印です。
沖合いにでますとカタマランの上でお酒が飲めます。確か５ドルくらいだったような・・・シャンパンやカクテルもあります。
キャプテンやスタッフをとてもいい感じ！
私達は通常沖合いには止まらないツアーだっと思いますが、小人数の外人さんが殆どだったので、魚のいるポイントで船を止めて皆水着になって飛び込んでいました。
さすが・・・外人さんは楽しみ方を知ってますね！
そんなサプライズもあるので是非水着を着用しての参加がお勧めです。
皆さんも是非参加して海から見るワイキキを眺めてみてはいかが・・・

I arrived early at the Outrigger Hotel, but I couldn't find the catamaran, which made me a bit anxious. Around 12:30, when check-in started, a yacht that looked like it appeared. Check-in was on the beach.
The weather was perfect, and it was wonderful to enjoy the pleasant breeze while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head. There were a few splashes from the waves, but it was just the right amount.
There were about a dozen participants, including an elderly lady and a family with a baby, but the staff paid attention to everyone, which was nice.
You can either dangle your feet over the net or sit in a chair. Since we were sailing, there was no engine noise, and I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
In the latter half, I caught a glimpse of some dolphins. I think an hour and a half is just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, it might get boring, so it was a perfectly enjoyable tour that anyone could easily join.
アウトリガーホテルに早めに到着しましたが、カタマランは見当たらず、若干不安に。受付開始時間12:30ちょうど位にそれらしきヨットが現れる。受付はビーチで。
天候は申し分のない日で、気持ちのよい風をうけながら、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは最高でした。若干波しぶきがかかりましたが、気持ちのよい程度。
参加人数は10数人で、かなり高齢のおばあさん、ベビーを連れたファミリーもいましたが、スタッフはそれぞれに気を配っていい感じでした。
ネットの部分で足を投げ出してもいいですし、イスに座ることもできます。帆走をしますので、エンジン音がすることもなく、快適に楽しむことが出来ました。
後半、イルカの姿が少しだけ見られました。一時間半という時間はちょうどよいと思います。あまり長くても飽きてしまうので、気軽に参加することのできるちょうど良いツアーでした。

i wanted to do something special for my girlfriend's birthday during our stay in Oahu.... Turns out it was a success!!!!
I booked the 3 star dinner w/ special occasion feature for my girl and I. The food was great! loved the lobster and steak... our waitress Jasmine was great also! It didnt take very long for us to get our plates.... The view of diamond head was amazing... When it was time for sunset, we headed up to the observation deck, WHAT A SIGHT!!!! We took a couple of photos and one of the other guests offered to take a photo op for us.... After seeing the picture she took of us, we realized what that picture could be! "something much more." as in, a Save the Date type of photo..... My girlfriend has an idea of what I was up to to since i mentioned the photo as a save the date type of picture but shes gonna be surprised when I pop the question in the near feature!!!!! THEN she can finally say that we can use this photo for our SAVE THE DATE picture!!!
thanks for the g
We did the sunset cruise and it was great. We walked to the marina from our hotel (Marriott Beach Club) and were surprised how friendly the staff on board was. They were always offering us drinks and chatting with us. Sitting on the net of the boat was fun and the sunset was romantic. I had champagne and my finance had the cruise's "special" drink which had 3 shots of rum in it. The experience was romantic but a family would enjoy this too. There were a few groups of friend on board that seemed to enjoy themselves. It is a nice end to the day, not too expensive, and very relaxing. Recommended for everyone!!
We had such a blast. The crew was great and the music that they played was amazing yet perfect. It was such a nice way to relax and enjoy the beach. We recommend this to anyone who is looking for something relaxing to do besides sitting on the beach. They do offer drinks at a small fee. If you want something to do for 1 1/2 hours then this is for you. The cool part is that once you are in the ocean you can sit on the netting in the front and really enjoy the sites of Waikiki.
We had an activity the previous day with this same company and were very pleased with the snorkling outing. On the sunset cruise a different staff was provided. When we booked a sunset cruise for our last night we were thinking something romantic. Their were only 2 couples on the cruise and some teenage kids and partying adults, anything but romantic. The kids were jumping on the "trampoline" at the front and even though they were told to stop they continued, one of the staff finally got them to stop but they were still complaing. I just felt maybe it should be booked either as couples or a party cruise. The scenery was beautiful at sunset, just not able to enjoy the experience much.
Had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It was a fantastic setting to propose to my girlfriend!
It was the best time we've ever had. The food,the entertainment, the view was excellant.
On the day of arrival, I had some time before check-in, so I participated. It was a very comfortable stimulation for my slightly dazed mind. The boat, moving refreshingly with just the wind, allows you to feel the wind, sea, and sun directly on your body, unlike larger ships. The hour-long duration was just right.
到着した日、チェックインまでに時間があったので、参加しました。少しぼーっとした頭に、とても快適な刺激でした。風だけで、爽快に進んでいく船は、他の大きな船と違って、体に直接風や海や太陽を感じます。1時間ほどの時間も丁度よかったです。

I signed up for the activity on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Running through the blue sky with the wind while listening to music was incredibly refreshing and felt great. I saw a lot of big turtles. I definitely want to participate again!
知人に勧められてアクテビィティ申し込みました。
音楽をかけながら青い空を風をきって走るのはすごく爽快で気持ちよかったです。大きな亀がたくさん見れました。
また是非参加したいです！

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.
I thought the "dinner cruise" would be on a larger ship, but it was a yacht. It rocked quite a bit. The weather was nice, so the sunset and the view of the volcano were absolutely stunning. The buffet food was completely different from what was listed on the website. It wasn't bad, but when I tried to eat a salad with lettuce on the ship, it all blew away in the wind. However, considering the cost, I suppose this is what you get, and I wasn't dissatisfied. The staff was cheerful and friendly. I got lost on the way back to the shuttle bus from the coast. While I was lost, I ended up at the Marriott Hotel, so I went shopping at Kings Market. When I called the travel desk about getting lost, they said, "You don't have to worry too much about the shuttle bus." This seems to reflect the laid-back nature of Hawaii. I watched the sunset five times on the Big Island, and each time felt different. It would have been better to have dinner at a restaurant with a terrace while watching the sunset.
「ディナークルーズ」というのでもっと大きな船かと思っていたら、ヨットだった。
結構揺れた。
天気はよかったので、サンセット、火山の景色は最高によかった。
バイキングの料理は、ウェブに記載されたものとは全く違った。まずくはなかったが、船上でレタスの入ったサラダを食べようとすると、すべて風に舞った。
でもコストを考えるとこんなもんだろうし、不満ではない。
スタッフは、明るく、親切だった。
帰りの海岸から送迎バスまでを迷ってしまった。
迷っていたらマリオットホテルに着いたので、そのままキングズマーケットでショッピングした。迷ったことを旅デスクに電話したら、「送迎バスは、そんなに心配はしませんよ」とのこと。これがハワイらしいおおらかさのようだ。
ハワイ島でサンセットは5回見たが、すべて違う感じであった。
別オプションのレストランテラス席で食事しながらサンセットを見るほうがよかった。

a really enjoyable evening entertainment was excellent as well as the food would reccomend this trip for anyone.
Nice but noisy lots of children around.
I was always terrified of boats...but this sunset cruise was the best gift my husband could have ever given me! We had so much fun, and I enjoyed the sea, from the sea! I have always been a beach lover, but sailing, WOW it's breath-taking. I would do it again if I ever have the good fortune to return. The crew made sure everyone had the best time. The drinks were great, and music too. It was one of the best times of my life. AND we could afford this one!! Thank you!!
The sunset cruise we took was awesome. They have excelled my expectation on every aspects: the boat, crew, food, entertainment, etc. The cruise ended with the beautiful Hawaiian sunset over the vast Pacific Ocean. We even got to see a pod of dolphins as a bonus. I'll recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice all-around sunset cruise. Mahalo!
The crew was amazing and knowledgable. The only snorkel/sunset cruise I could find. A Blast!
First, it was quite challenging to get on the bus to the port. The staff made a mistake with the passenger list, so we couldn't board right away. There were mostly Japanese people gathered, but there was someone who could speak English, which was helpful for conversation.
Since it was a one-star experience, my wife and I had our meal at a shared table, reminiscent of a school trip. The food was simple, but I wasn't concerned since I didn't have high expectations for the meal from the start. The waiter was the same person who made the mistake with the bus list. Overall, the service felt a bit casual, or you could say it had a homey atmosphere.
During the meal, a show and live performances started, but with the sunset, about half of the guests got up to take pictures outside or enjoy the view from the ship.
Since it was a large ship, it didn't sway much, which was nice.
As night fell, the Independence Day fireworks began. The ship docked right in front of the launch site. I had heard from locals that the fireworks were smaller compared to those in Japan, but perhaps because it was the 50th anniversary, they were quite satisfying.
In higher classes, there might be a dress code, allowing for a more relaxed dining experience while watching the fireworks.
On the way back, there was a tremendous traffic jam. It usually takes about ten minutes to get back to the Marriott Hotel, but it took over an hour. If you are in a group, it might be nice to walk back while enjoying the scenery.
まず、港までいくバスに乗るまでが大変でした。
スタッフのかたが乗車名簿を間違えてしまい、すぐに乗ることができませんでした。日本人ばかりで集まっていましたが、英語を話せる方がいたのでいろいろと話をしていただいて助かりました。
ワンスターだったので、まるで修学旅行のような、相席のテーブルで妻と食事をとりました。
食事はシンプルなものでしたが、最初から食事に関して期待していなかったため気になりませんでした。
担当ウェイターはバスの名簿を間違えた人でした。接客は全体的になぁなぁな感じで、よくいえばアットホームなとでも言えましょうか。
食事中にショーやライブが始まりましたが、サンセットも重なり半分くらいの人が席を立って外で写真撮影や船上からの景色を眺めたりしていました。
大きな船ということもあり、さほど揺れもきになりませんでした。
いよいよ夜になり、独立記念日の花火大会が始まりました。船は打ち上げ場所の目の前で停泊。花火は日本と比べて小規模だと現地の方から伺っていましたが、５０周年記念ということもあってか、結構満足のいったものでした。
もっと上のクラスではドレスコードもあり、ゆったりとクルージングディナーをして座りながら花火を観ることができたのですかね。
帰りがものすごく渋滞して、マリオットホテルまで帰るのに普段１０分くらいなのですが1時間以上かかりました。複数でいたら散歩しながら帰るのもいいかもしれません。
Thank you very much for participating in our Independence Day special cruise.
All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

On July 2nd, The historical sunset cruise we took was fabulous right until the end but we were very disappointed that the captain elected to dock five minutes too soon. A fantastic sunset was in the making and if we had slowed down five minutes we would have been treated to a terrific sky. Everyone with a camera was out on deck with cameras ready, and we just pulled right in to dock watching the sun slip behind the island instead of over the water where it would have been had we stayed out five more minutes. I know for certain many others were unhappy with this handling of time. Why we had to dock so quickly is a mystery to me.
The boat lost engine power in the middle of going back to shore. Apparently there was some water in the fuel so we ended up staying out till about 8:30 or 9:00 with screaming children. It was fun other than the engine giving out. They said it had never happened before which is probably true but nevertheless, it wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.
this was a very relaxing and romantic excursion of tranquility.
great food and entertainment. the scenery was awesome and the sunset was glorius. the people who entertained and served were impeccable in quality
My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!
It was our 38th anniversary and we had a great time! The server and the crew were very nice! I would do it again! Thanks so much.
Our sunset sail was awesome! Jonathan and Ryan were top notch - very friendly and safetly consious. The views of the island at sunset are not to be missed. Gourgeous sunset!
We had a great great time!!!
I would recommend this to everyone i know. It was all worth it. My partner and i enjoyed evey minute of it! The food was the bomb! We had 3 star which is a 5-course meal. i even took pictures of the food! Our server Rita was so nice, i always see her smiling and she was very attentive to us! It was so fun!
I will surely go back and this time i'm gonna bring my mom!
I used the service recently.
There was no staff interaction at all.
It felt like they just picked us up and that was it.
However, we did see whales, so it became a nice memory.
Thank you very much.
先日利用しました。
スタッフ対応は全く無しです。
お迎えに来て、乗せて終わりな感じでした。
鯨は見えましたので、いい記念になりました。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. If the staff who greeted you were local staff, they may have had difficulty communicating with customers as they do not speak much Japanese. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.
スターオブホノルルです。この度はご乗船有難うございました。
お迎えに行ったスタッフが現地スタッフだった場合、日本語があまり話せない為、
なかなかお客様とのコミュニケーションがとりづらいようです。
またのご乗船お待ちしております。

This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.
The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.
The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.
I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.
I participated because I wanted to ride on a yacht rather than a large ship.
The floor of the yacht is netted, allowing you to see the ocean! (Of course, there are also seats that are not netted.)
When the wind blows, ocean spray hits you and it's chilly, but that's part of the fun.
You can order alcohol and soft drinks, and I enjoyed sipping a margarita while relaxing and gazing at the vast ocean under the blue sky. It felt wonderful!
I was lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins.
Not all the participants were Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so there were generally no issues.
For those who might get seasick, it could be a concern, but the participation fee isn't too high, so I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to feel the Hawaiian breeze!
大きな船ではなくヨットにのりたくて参加しました。
ヨットの足元はネット状になっていて、海が見られます！
（もちろんネットになっていない座席もありますよ）
風がふくとオーシャンスプレーがかかってちべたいですが、それもまた楽しい。
アルコールやソフトドリンクもオーダーでき、
青い空のしたで大きな海を眺めながらのんびりマルガリータを飲みました。
とっても気持ちよかった！
私はラッキーなことにイルカもたくさん見られました。
ほかの参加者はみんな日本人ではありませんでしたが、
ガイドの人が日本語が話せるので、だいたい問題ありません。
あんまり船酔いする人はあれかもしれませんが、
参加費もそんなに高くないので、
ハワイの風を感じたい人にはとってもおすすめです！

Would have liked to have seen more fish on the snorkel trip, but nice crew.
A great experience -- to see whales, especially baby whales-- was an experience of a lifetime. Thanks for a great day at sea. The music was especially good; and I was able to make my own lei. Thanks for a great time.
