Hawaii
I went in February.
I was very satisfied to see many whales.
It became a good memory.
It was difficult to take photos, but it was fun.
2月に行きました。
たくさんのクジラを見ることができて大満足でした。
良い思い出になりました。
写真を撮るのは難しかったですが、楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed seeing many whales. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.
We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.
They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.
Sunset sail, great crew, great music, good food. what more can you ask for. This is one of the best trips we have in Hawaii.
I have no word to describe how anyone would not join this cruise. The scene was gorgeous and the crew couldn't be more inviting. Everyone was kind and make sure that we are safe and still have fun. I enjoyed most is the Mai Tai and the buffet . What a relaxing way to enjoy the sunset. I highly recommend this event. Is a must to do in Oahu
I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.
After reading experiences about how rough it can get out at sea, I changed my schedule to a day when the wind seemed to be calming down, based on the weather forecast. On the day of the trip, the wind speed was 5 m/s. Once we were out at sea, there were some waves that splashed water on us, but it felt like a little adventure and was quite fun! Most of the time, there wasn't much rocking, and we could enjoy the scenery and the sunset! My high school son was very satisfied as well. However, among about 50 passengers, there was one person who felt unwell. I took motion sickness medication just in case.
沖に出るとかなり揺れるという体験談を読んで、天気予報を見ながら風が弱まりそうな日に日程を変更しました。当日は風速5m/s。沖にでると、水しぶきがかかるほどの揺れもありましたが、ちょっとした冒険気分で楽し〜いという感じ。ほとんどの時間は揺れもあまりなく景色もサンセットも楽しめます!高校生の息子も大満足。なお、50人ぐらいの乗客の中で一人だけ気分が悪くなった人がいました。私は念のため酔い止めを飲みました。
Without having any expectations we can say that this excursion rocked! The captain and crew absolutely exceeded expectations in all areas - food, fun, booze, music, atmosphere and views! We weren't sure what to bring or really what to expect - bottom line is, you don't need to bring anything except a smile and a desire to relax and enjoy a great evening (and a camera if you're interested in getting some spectacular pics of the sunset, beaches, and some gorgeous coastlines). The food was quite delicious and well prepared (we've been on cruises like this before in other area's and is typical "rubber chicken" stuff - that was not the case here - excellent steak, bbq chicken, veggies, and fixings! The crew (doubling as bartenders) did not skimp on the drinks and made some truly good cocktails. The crew were also fantastic in checking on everyone and making sure everyone was having a good time and getting what they needed. The music they played was awesome and really helped set the atmosphere - you could dance by the moonlight or sunset and have a few romantic moments - or just some good atmosphere. We would absolutely go again!
Good points:
The night view of Waikiki from the boat was very beautiful and satisfying!
Bad points:
The meeting place was shared with other activities, which made it very confusing.
The fireworks are more beautiful in Japan.
The light meal course had few items and was simple. It wasn't enough for dinner.
良い点
船上からのワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で満足でしたよ!
悪い点
集合場所が他のアクティビティーと一緒でとても迷いました。
花火は日本の方が綺麗です。
軽食コースは品数もなく簡素でした。晩ご飯にはなりません。
Very entertaining show; we had a great time! Wonderful dancers!
The captain and crew of this boat were phenomenal! They created at atmosphere that was relaxed, fun and entertaining (no easy feat considering the diverse group on board!). The food was surprisingly excellent (we had low expectations and were quite pleasantly surprised) :) The drinks were quite good, generous and not watered down at all (again, something common on other cruises). The views were spectacular and the captain made sure that everyone knew what was coming and how / where to enjoy the sights. We would absolutely go out on this boat / trip again any time were on the island. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough.
Thank you so much! We do try our best to bring a great sailing experience to all of our guests. Have a great day! Aloha MakaniCat
I headed to the meeting place (meeting time 3 PM) by rental car. The office is located in a building on the right side as you head towards the port, and just beyond that, there is a large parking lot where you can park. After parking, I checked in at the office by confirming the health status items displayed on the screen (all in English). At 3:10 PM, the captain arrived, called out names one by one to confirm everyone was present, and explained the precautions in English before heading to the port. Besides us, there was another Japanese family participating, but the other 12 or 13 groups were all foreigners. Before boarding, we took off our shoes and went barefoot, leaving our shoes in the designated area (some people chose to carry theirs on board).
We set sail at 3:30 PM. There were three staff members, including the captain (two men and one woman). At first, it was cloudy, and we could see rain falling in the distance over the sea, which made us worry about the weather. However, as we headed towards the Na Pali Coast, the skies cleared up. We enjoyed the cruise while having drinks and light snacks (like cheese and crackers), and after about an hour, we finally saw the towering cliffs.
From there, we were treated to breathtaking views that you can't find in Japan! After about an hour, we reached the end of the Na Pali Coast (slowing down the boat at various points to take in the scenery) and turned around. On the way back, we carefully navigated the boat into a spot where the cliffs had eroded, creating a cave-like area, which was a lot of fun. We were also shown a place where there were many sea turtles, and we were able to see two of them surface.
Around 6 PM, we had dinner (there were quite a few options for rice and side dishes). We also got to see dolphins, who jumped out of the water and spun around to greet us.
Finally, just after 7 PM, we counted down together for the moment the sunset hit the ocean, and there was applause at the moment of sunset! (For those who wanted, there was a toast with champagne!) After that, we were moved by the changing colors of the sky from sunset to night. We safely arrived back at the port at 7:30 PM and disbanded.
The captain provided explanations through the microphone while driving the boat, and the other two staff members were very friendly, chatting with us and taking pictures for us. I couldn’t drink alcohol since I had to drive back, but others enjoyed the "all-you-can-drink!" It was the best time ever.
レンタカーで集合場所(集合時間15時)に向かったのですが、港に向かって右側に事務所がある建物、その先すぐに広い駐車場があるので、そこに駐車してOK。事務所で画面に表示された当日の健康状態確認事項(すべて英語表記です)にチェックを入れて受付完了。15時10分船長さんが現れ、1組ずつ名前が呼ばれて全員集合を確認し、注意事項を英語で説明して港へ。私達以外に、もう1組日本人家族が参加していましたが、他の12,3組程度の方はすべて外国の方でした。乗船前に靴を脱いで裸足になり、靴置き場に預けます。(自分で持って乗る人もいました。)
15時30分出航。スタッフは船長さんを含めて3名(男性2名・女性1名)です。最初は曇っていて、海の遠方では、雨が降っているのが見えて、天気がどうなるか心配しましたが、ナパリコーストに向かう途中でどんどん晴れてきました。行きに飲み物と軽食(チーズやクラッカー等)を頂きながらクルーズを楽しみ、1時間ほど進むといよいよ断崖絶壁の山が見えてきます。
そこからは、日本にはない絶景をこれでもか!というくらい楽しめます。約1時間ほどでナパリコーストの端に到着(途中ポイント・ポイントで船の速度を落として景色を堪能します)してUターン。戻る途中、絶壁が削れていて少し洞窟みたいなっている所に船を慎重に入れて楽しみます。また、ウミガメがたくさん居る所を案内してくれて、2匹水面に現れて見ることができました。18時頃、夕食を食べました。(ご飯、おかず、結構種類がありました。)また、イルカにも会えて、水面から飛び上がり、くるくる回転して歓迎してくれました。
いよいよ19時ちょっと過ぎに、海面に夕日が沈む瞬間を、皆でカウントダウンして、日没の瞬間に拍手!!(希望者にはシャンペンで乾杯!)その後、空が夕焼けから夜に向かう色の変化に感動し、19時30分、無事港に到着し解散となりました。
船長さんは運転しながら、マイクで所々説明をしてくれ、残りの2名のスタッフは、フレンドリーに話しかけてくれたり、カメラのシャッターを押してくれたり、とても親切でした。私は帰りに車を運転しなければならなかったので、アルコールは飲めませんでしたが、他の方はまさに「飲み放題!」
最高のひと時でした。
私たちはあなたをお迎えできて嬉しく思い、あなたのレビューを読みながら笑顔になっています!Holo Holo Chartersを選んでいただき、あなたの水上での時間についての感想を教えていただきありがとうございます!マハロとアロハ。
We are glad to have had you aboard and are smiling reading over your review! Thank you for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for letting us know what you thought about your time on the water! Mahalo and Aloha
Compared to another cruising company, this one had a more subdued atmosphere without the wild partying. The combination of fireworks, sea breeze, and drinks was fantastic.
別のもう一つのクルージング会社に対してこちらはどんちゃん騒ぎせず大人しい感じ。花火と海風とお酒の組み合わせは最高だった。
I missed the meeting place and ended up passing by and going all the way to Waikiki, which made me anxious, but I managed to make it in time. It was my first time seeing the fireworks festival on Friday. After that, I went sailing for nearly an hour and was able to see the sparkling stars on the night sea, with the moon rising over Diamond Head, creating a magical view. Next time, I want to join to see the sunset.
集合場所がわからずに通り過ぎてワイキキまで行ってしまい、焦りましたが何とか間に合いました。金曜日の花火大会は初めて見ました。その後はセイリングで1時間近く夜の海を星の輝き、ダイヤモンドヘッドの上に月が上がり幻想的な景色を見ることができました。今度はサンセットを見に参加したいです。
The scenery was amazing, and the cheerful and reliable crew was also enjoyable. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate!!!!
景色も最高でしたが、陽気で頼もしいクルーも楽しかったです。また、機会があれば、参加したいです!!!!!!!!!!
We were a group of 13 and ready for a great time. We certainly weren’t disappointed! Ryan and Magic Mike were awesome we would absolutely recommend this cruise. The views were outstanding and I can’t wait to go back.
This is my second consecutive year enjoying the sunset sailing. I had a great time with people I just met today, cheering with drinks in hand, and I was moved by the fantastic view of the setting sun. I'll definitely come again next year!
2年連続のサンセットセーリング、お酒を片手に今日初めて会ったばかりの人達と陽気に盛り上がって、沈む夕日の幻想的な光景に感動しました。また来年も来ま~す!!
Crew was spectacular, the boat was clean and well maintained, and the ocean was well behaved. Couldn't ask for anything more :)
It was a perfect night on the ocean as it was my wife’s Birthday so I decided to take her on the dinner cruise every thing was perfect , from the Lady and crew who picked us up from the hotel to the cruise staff ,food was great service was great and entertainment was fantastic I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out
The crew was fantastic and entertaining. I would definitely do this again.
Every year in Hawaii, I make it a point to spend the last night on a catamaran sunset cruise. With the stunning backdrop of the sunset shining on Waikiki and Diamond Head, it’s the perfect view to enjoy while sipping delicious Mai Tais, marking the end of my trip. The thrill of being on a small boat adds to the experience, and the crew members create a lively atmosphere, making it a truly enjoyable time.
毎年ハワイ 最後の夜はカタマラン号のサンセットクルーズと決めています。
夕陽に輝くワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに最高の景色と美味しいマイタイに酔いしれて旅の終わりとなります。
小型船ならではのスリルも楽しみながら
クルーの方々も陽気に雰囲気を盛り上げて下さりとても楽しいひと時です。
Last year, we took a boat ride for the Friday fireworks, but my family was definitely happier with the sunset! The view from the sea and the ocean breeze are truly experiences unique to being on a yacht.
昨年は金曜日の花火に乗船しましたが、断然サンセットの方が良かったと家族も大喜び!やはり海側からの景色や海風はヨットならではの経験と言えます。
My sister in-law was visiting town with her friends and she wanted to go on a booze cruise. I came across this cruise and we couldn't have chosen a better cruise to go on. The crew was very friendly and awesome, frequently coming up to us to ask if we needed another drink. Drinks were delicious. Unlimited Mai Tai! Sunset was beautiful. Boat was clean and easy to locate right off of the beach. I would highly recommend this cruise for anyone who is looking to drink and have a good time. Very affordable. I will definitely be referring this cruise to all my families and friends who will be visiting in the future.
It's a good idea to have a light jacket since it's windy. Depending on where you sit, you might get splashed by the waves, but that was fun. I was able to get a refill on my Mai Tai, and I also enjoyed some chips. The sunset was amazing!
風にあたるので羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。
座る場所によっては波をかぶります、でもそれが楽しかったです。
マイタイのお替りもでき、チップスもいただきました。
サンセット最高‼
We gathered at the beach of the Kaanapali Beach Hotel, but there wasn't a counter; just a small sign, and the staff didn't arrive until the last minute, leaving many participants confused.
When boarding the boat, some people got wet up to their upper bodies due to the waves, so I think it's essential to wear clothes that can get wet and bring a towel.
I was satisfied with the quality and quantity of the snacks and drinks, which were better than I had imagined!
There are various types of catamarans, but they are relatively large, so there was little rocking, making it comfortable.
カアナパリビーチホテルのビーチに集合でしたが、カウンターがあるわけではなく小さな看板1つで係員もギリギリまで来ず、多くの参加者が迷っていました。
船に乗り込む際は波の都合で上半身まで濡れた人もいたので、濡れても良い服装➕タオルが必須だと思います。
想像していたより軽食・ドリンクの質も量も良くて満足でした!
カタマランも色々種類がありますが、割と大きめなので揺れも少なく快適でした。
マウイからのアロハ!レビューありがとうございます。ビーチへのアクセスは、波の状況が不安定な時に難しいことがあります。上半身まで濡れてしまったと聞いて残念です。他の懸念事項、例えばチェックインの看板やスタッフの時間厳守について、運営に伝えて対策を講じるようにします。マハロ、クイ
Aloha from Maui! Thank you for your review. Beach loading can be challenging at times when surf conditions are unstable. Am sorry to hear that you were wet up to your upper body. I will let operations know to look into your other concerns such as: check-in signage, staff punctuality to prevent this from getting guest lost. Mahalo, Kui
I had a great time.
It was fun to watch the fireworks from the boat without any swaying.
The meeting place was a bit hard to find.
I asked the Japanese concierge at the Sheraton Hotel for directions and managed to make it on time.
It got a bit wet when the waves became strong while boarding the boat, but it's a good memory.
とても楽しかったです。
船の上から花火を見れて揺れもなく楽しかったです。
集合場所が少しわかりにくかったです。
シェラトンホテルの日本語コンシェルジュに場所を聞いてなんとか待ち合わせ時間に間に合いました。
船に乗る時に波が強くなってまあまあ濡れましたがいい思い出です。
The boarding area was changed, so we walked a bit, but the beer on the boat tasted even better because of it. Since we were with a group of foreigners, we all got excited together. The refreshing sea breeze after the sails were raised was wonderful. I was also captivated by the staff's performance of catching fish. It became a great memory on the first day in Hawaii.
乗り場が変更となり少し歩きましたがその分船上のビールがとても美味しく感じました。
外人さんの団体さんと一緒だったので一緒にテンション上がりました。帆が上がったあとの潮風の気持ち良いこと〰️。スタッフの人が魚を釣り上げるパフォーマンス?にも釘付けになりました。Hawaii初日に良い想い出となりました
Crew was great and the boat itself was really cool but it was so choppy when you got on the water it was hard to enjoy the trip. You couldn’t stand up without falling over and if your prone to any type of motion sickness, it’s game over. The crew was so helpful though! JJ helped me to the back of the boat, got me and my party ice chips, and continued to check on us through the whole trip. Super nice but not the right weather sadly.
We participated as a group. The boat has three floors: the first floor is a dining area, the second floor is a bar where you can listen to live performances. It can accommodate a large number of passengers. I think it's great for groups and families since it's lively. Of course, there were also many couples. The boarding time was quite long, I believe. We were able to enjoy the sunset and the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel on Fridays (for five minutes) nicely.
グループで参加しました。
船は3階まであり、1階が食事スペース、2階がバーで生演奏を聞ける
大人数乗船可。
にぎやかなのでグループ、ファミリーで参加するにはいいと思います。
もちろんカップルの方もたくさんいました。
乗船時間は結構長かったと思います。
サンセットと金曜のヒルトンホテルの花火(5分)はいい感じで見れました。
I had a wonderful time enjoying a peaceful evening! The scenery was amazing, and the delicious drinks made for an even more fantastic escape from everyday life!
夕方の穏やかなひとときを楽しく過ごせました!景色も最高、美味しくお酒も楽しため更に素敵な非日常を大満喫でした!
The crew was very attentive. From the moment we were greeted at the dock to the end of the cruise they were very personable and engaging. Great music and food. Overall, an outstanding experience for me and my significant other. Highly recommended!
We went oemanu Kai sunset cruise with our 2 teens. We had a great time, and the crew was great! We didn’t get to see the sunset, but it was cloudy. Other than that, it was wonderful!
