Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺

Our party had 3 different cars coming from far outside Honolulu and some of us got caught in terrible morning traffic. The boat and office allowed us to wait and even helped on phone to one of the lost parties.
The boat crew were calm and pleasant despite a very late start. They were also respectful and thoughtful.

We are an elderly couple, 70 and 69 years old. We were the only Japanese people on board. This was our ninth trip to Hawaii, and our first time on Kauai. Since we were here, we wanted to see the Na Pali Coast, so we decided to join the tour.
To be honest, I was worried about getting seasick. About 30 minutes before boarding, I took an old seasickness tablet from T Pharmaceutical that I brought from Japan (the kind you can take without water). Thanks to that, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. There were about six people who did feel sick. I think if I hadn't taken the seasickness medication, I definitely would have gotten sick. The cruise was comfortable, but it did sway quite a bit, similar to the Viking ride at a Japanese amusement park.
We talked with my husband, saying, "I'm glad we came," while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The sunset was cloudy, but we could still see it reasonably well. The food was delicious too. Besides the captain, there were two friendly staff members, a nice young man and a beautiful young woman, who were all very kind. Perhaps because of my age, whenever I tried to move around the boat, they would come right away to help me. My English isn't very good, but I didn't have any particular problems. My husband chatted happily with a gentleman from the mainland who was sitting next to him, and everyone there was very friendly.
We participated on May 10th, and we were able to see whales. Everyone was thrilled and shouting. Additionally, there was a rainbow over the Na Pali Coast, making it the best cruise ever.
I highly recommend participating. The Lucky Lady is a larger cruiser, so it felt safe. I'm really glad we joined.
70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S(水なしで飲めるもの)を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。
It is essential to take motion sickness medication before getting on. Japanese people should bring a windbreaker. I tend to get hot in Japan, but I was glad I wore it. You might also get splashed with
必ず、乗る前に、酔い止めを飲むことは必要です。日本人は、ウインドブレーカーを持っていかれたほうがいいです。私は、日本では、暑がりですが、着ていてよかったと思いました。水をかぶることもあります。

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise yesterday. The captain and his team (Audrey, Haley and G) were all great people, very helpful and considerate during the 5 1/2 tour. Few people got sick due to very strong current and rough water and this team took care of all by comforting them and taking good care of them. We certainly recommend this company for sunset cruises.
Make sure to take motion sick gess pill or patch an hour before the tour start time.

When you come up from the sea, the wind is cold, so it's better to take measures against the cold.

We chartered a boat for our group of 11 across three generations. From the moment we made the reservation, the email communication was very polite and reassuring. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we were able to see a lot of whales, a large pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and fish, which made us very satisfied. The sight of the large pod of dolphins was particularly incredible and moving. The guide and driver, as well as the boat captain, were kind and made every effort to find dolphins for us. Although the kids couldn't snorkel, it seems the captain entertained them well. The snacks with bags were a big hit with both adults and children, and everyone plans to take them to school and work after returning home. Thank you very much!
3世代11名だったのでチャーターでお世話になりました。
予約時点からメールでのやり取りがとても丁寧で安心できました。
当日はいいお天気でクジラもイルカの大群も海ガメも魚もたくさんみれて大満足でした。特にイルカの大群もは信じられないくらいいて感動しました。
ガイド兼ドライバーさん、船のキャプテンも親切でいるかを一生懸命探してくださいました。子供達はシュノーケルはできませんでしたがキャプテンに楽しませてもらったようです。バッグ付きのスナックは大人も子供も大喜びで、帰国後も皆学校や職場に持って行くそうです。本当にありがとうございました!
There were no people who got seasick, but it was quite rocky in some areas. If you're worried, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. Also, if you have binoculars, I think it's great to be abl
船酔いする人はいませんでしたが場所によってかなり揺れがありました。心配な方は酔い止め服用をお勧めします。また、双眼鏡があればご自身でもクジラたちを探せていいと思います

I participated in whale watching for the first time!
While cruising, I was able to enjoy some drinks and the scenery was amazing! ✨✨
I saw the whales spouting water and their tails from a bit of a distance!!
I thought I would be able to see them a little closer, but since they are wild animals, I understand that it's unpredictable. Still, the atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun!!
The restrooms on the boat aren't usually very clean and can be hard to access, but this boat had clean restrooms, so I felt comfortable even while drinking!
I would love to participate again someday!!
初めてホエールウォッチングに参加しました!
クルージングしながらお酒も飲めて景色も最高でした✨✨
クジラは少し遠くで潮を吹くところやテールを見ることができました!!
もう少し近くで観れると思っていましたが、自然の生き物の事なので、予想がつかないのも仕方がないな〜と思いつつ、雰囲気はとても良く楽しむことができました!!
船でのおトイレは綺麗なところがあまりなく、なかなか行きにくいですが、こちらの船は綺麗なトイレでお酒を飲んでも安心でした!

This is a luxurious tour where you can enjoy whale watching, dolphin watching, sea turtle viewing, and snorkeling all on a cruise charter. We participated as a family of six across three generations, and with two staff members accompanying us, one of whom entered the water to provide guidance and support, my 78-year-old mother, who has paralysis on her right side, was truly grateful to be able to snorkel together. After snorkeling, there was a service of tropical fruits, juice, and snacks, which I believe offers great value for the price. I especially recommend private charters for families with small children or elderly individuals.
クルーザーチャーターで、ホエールウオッチングも、イルカウオッチングも、ウミガメかざしも楽しめ、スノーケルも楽しめる贅沢なツアーです。
三世代家族6人で参加しましたが、スタッフが2人付いてくれ、1人が一緒に海に入って指導やサポートをしてくれるので、78歳で右半身に麻痺が残る母も、一緒にスノーケルできたのが本当にありがたかったです。
スノーケル後にはトロピカルフルーツやジュース、スナックのサービスもあり、お値段以上の価値があると思います。
特に小さいお子さんや高齢の方にはプライベートチャーターはお勧めです。
Private charters offer not just a luxurious experience, but also true peace of mind and freedom. If you want to make the most of your trip, I definitely recommend going private.
プライベートチャーターは、贅沢な体験という以上に、本当に安心安全で自由が利きます。せっかくの旅行を満足なものにしたいのでしたら、是非プライベートをお勧めします。
