All Reviews for Private Boat Charters

I participated in early December, and unfortunately, the weather was quite chilly and rainy, but I still had a great time. There were beautiful coral reefs nearby, and fish were swimming right in front of me. Just peeking into the water was captivating, and while enjoying other activities, time flew by quickly. During the round trip to the sandbar, there was also a performance by the crew, and the captain and crew's stories were entertaining as well.

参加日は12月初旬あいにく肌寒く、雨も降るイマイチな天候でしたがそれでも存分に楽しめました。
綺麗なサンゴ礁が近くにあり、目の前を魚が回遊しています。海中を覗くだけで夢中になれますし、他のアクティビティも堪能していると、あっという間に時間がなくなります。
サンドバーまでの往復中も、クルーの演奏もあり、また船長やクルーたちのお話も面白かったです。

The sandbar itself was stunning, and the live Hawaiian music added a perfect island vibe. Equipment was clean and easy to use, and the crew provided helpful tips to make the most of each activity.

The scenery was absolutely stunning with cliffs, sea caves, and vibrant colors as the sun set over the Pacific.

Great snorkeling spot! Not many turtles but that can't be controlled! Some other groups saw a lot!

This is the second time we took this activity in Honolulu. My kids love the banana boat and the bumper tube so much . Will come again next time.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but I was satisfied to watch sea turtles and 5-6 F22s taking off and climbing rapidly in their training. The zodiac was very fast, more thrilling than a roller coaster, and my family was overjoyed! I would love to ride it again.

残念ながらクジラは見れなかったのですが、海亀とF22が次々と5-6機、離陸し急上昇する訓練を見れて満足いたしました。ゾディアックはスピードが速く、ジェットコースターよりスリリングで、家族は大喜びでした！また乗りたいと思います。

I was very satisfied with the beautiful sandy beach and activities. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but it was a bit disappointing that I didn't get to see any. The staff were all cheerful and fun people.

きれいな砂浜とアクティビティで大満足です。
ウミガメを期待してましたが、会えなかったのが少し残念です。
スタッフは皆さん明るく楽しい方々でした。

The team was extremely helpful in explaining the events. I brought my wife and in-laws from Japan with us. We felt the Aloha immediately! We were worried about the cloudy morning but just as we set sail the sun came out in during our ride. We got to spend a good amount of time in the sun and enjoyed the music from the performers on board. Tip your performers, people! They can sing all the island tunes 10/10. We will certainly book again for our next trip and bring our kids. Mahalo and many thanks from Seattle, Wa.

We set sail to catch the sunset. Enjoyed some snacks and cocktails while feeling a bit tipsy. Spotted a whale in the distance. We had the best sunset experience on the Big Island of Hawaii!

サンセットに合わせて出航。スナックとカクテルでほろ酔い。遠くにクジラを発見。最高のハワイ島サンセットを楽しみました！

Everyone on this crew was kind and funny and super helpful, starting with the live music first thing, to the galley crew and everyone helping with the gear for the various activities. We brought some family from the mainland and they felt very comfortable. We all felt very welcome and had a perfect day!

Crew was amazing and made the very best of weather conditions to make the snorkel tour a truly enjoyable experience. They made every effort to find marine life and find an area to snorkel that would provide the best chance to see fish and sea life. We saw a few sea turtle, sting ray, flying fish, tropical fish and a pod of spinner dolphin! Food and drinks were very good. The crew made sure we all had a great time! The photographer was so fun and his picture pack value is unbelievable - no brainer of a purchase. Highly recommended 🤙

Unfortunately, my older child had a fever, and since the cancellation would result in a full charge, I attended with my younger child, who is in first grade. (I reluctantly gave up the fee for the absent child.) However, I am grateful for the courteous response from the office, which offered to change the date.

I also added bus transportation, but since the meeting point is quite far, I think it would be better for those staying around Waikiki who haven't decided on transportation options to include it. The bus driver was a cheerful and kind Japanese woman!

Regarding the activity, I changed the date and participated in the afternoon, and while I was aware of it, the tide was high that day. When we arrived, the sandbar was gone, and the water was too deep for adults to stand, which scared my younger child, who clung to me and struggled. It was difficult to swim even the short distance of about 10 meters to the floating island where we could canoe, and I thought we might drown. My child, who had become completely intimidated during the move, was also scared of the canoe, and in the end, we managed to return to the boat and spent the entire time on board, which was disappointing.

While I understand this is a matter of personal responsibility, I think it would have been nice if they had differentiated the price a bit, such as lowering it during high tide, to avoid any frustration.

However, other families were enjoying snorkeling, riding banana boats, and seemed to be having a great time. They had plenty of time, and I believe those who are mainly considering activities other than the sandbar would really enjoy it.

What impressed me was the live music performance on the boat; it was pleasant to listen to music while feeling the breeze.

On that day, participants included people from Japan, as well as from China, South Korea, and the mainland United States. The crew consisted of one Japanese person and local staff.

あいにく上の子が熱を出し、キャンセルは全額になるため小1の下の子と2人で参加してきました。（不参加分のお代は泣く泣く諦めました）
ただ日時をずらしてくださるなど、事務所の方は丁寧に対応していただき感謝です。
バス送迎もつけましたが、集合場所までかなり遠いのでワイキキ周辺にお泊りの方はレンタカーなど移動手段が決まっていない方はつけた方がよろしいかと思います。
バスの運転手さんは日本人の女性で明るくて優しい方でした！

アクティビティですが、日時を変更し午後参加になり、分かっては居ましたがその日の午後は満潮。
着いたらサンドバーは無く大人も足がつかない深さで下の子はとても怖がりしがみつき暴れるので、カヌーが出来る浮島まで移動する間の10M位だけでも泳ぐのが困難で溺れるかと思いました。移動ですっかり萎縮した子供はカヌーも怖がり、結局なんとか必死に船上に戻ってずっと船の上で過ごすことになったのは残念でした。
今回のことは自己責任ではありますが、せめて満潮時は値段を下げていただくなど少し差別化をして貰えたらモヤモヤもなかったかなと思います。

ただ他のご家族はシュノーケリングを楽しんでいたり、バナナボートをしたり、各々楽しそうで、時間もたっぷりあり、サンドバー以外のアクティビティをメインに考えていらっしゃる方にはとても楽しめると思います。

感動したのは船上のライブ演奏で、ゆったり音楽を聞きながら風を感じるのは心地よかったです。

その日の参加は、日本の他、中国、韓国、アメリカ本土からの方が参加されていました。クルーの皆さんは日本人の方１名と、現地の方がいらっしゃいました。

Got picked up at the hotel in Waikiki. We were 4. It was a short drive to the sandbar. What an experience. It literally looked like Tahiti. The Hawaiian singers/ukulele players were amazing and the staff was friendly and so accommodating. We enjoyed everything about the day, but the views were to die for. We appreciated the affordable alcoholic beverages that were offered as well as the free fresh donuts. We really enjoyed floating on the barge and kayaking and it was my first time on a paddleboard. What was so cool was that the water there is as calm as the lake.! we would highly recommend this trip!

This was such a great experience! Very organized, everything was nice and easy, the stuff was absolutely incredible! Great vibes, helpful and accommodating , going above and beyond for everyone to have a great time! We did the all inclusive package and it was perfect. The band was great as well and we had the best time! Highly recommended!!

Such a fun and active morning snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding around Kaneohe Bay!

The ocean in Waikiki is beautiful, but this place is on another level! It was a clear emerald green. We did bumper tubing, banana boating, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We stayed in the water the whole time without returning to the boat. The bumper tubing we did right after arriving was quite challenging, especially for families with kids. It was thrilling! The time felt long enough that I thought we should go back, but I was completely satisfied. We went banana boating with four people. It wasn't as difficult as the bumper tubing, but you could really feel the sea breeze—definitely a classic ocean activity! For snorkeling, you can use your own gear or rent some. We fed the fish and filmed the ocean with a GoPro. The SUP had an instructor, so it was reassuring to know that if you fell, you’d just land in the water! It was a fantastic time enjoying the ocean in Hawaii.

ワイキキの海も綺麗ですが、ここは別格！透き通ったエメラルドグリーンでした。バンパーチューブ、バナナボート、シュノーケリング、サップをやりました。一度も船に戻らず、ずっと海に。着いてすぐにやったバンパーチューブは難易度高め？お子さんを乗せているご家族も。スリル満点！もう戻ってーと思うほど時間も長くて大満足。バナナボートは4人で乗りました。バンパーチューブほどは難易度は高くないですが、潮風を感じられてザ・海のアクティビティ！シュノーケリングは自分のものでも、貸し出しを使用してもOK。えさをもらってゴープロで海を撮影しました。サップはインストラクターもいて、落ちても海なので安心！ハワイの海を大満喫できた時間でした。

I was looking forward to it! Sandbar.
There was a little incident on the way there, but I was overwhelmed by the scenery that made me forget all about it.

楽しみにしていた！サンドバー
行きの車ではハプニングがあったけど、それを払拭するほどの、光景に圧倒されたのしめました。

The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the activities. However, some people on the same bus were being excessively noisy both on the bus and on the boat, which made us uncomfortable. There are people who want to rest on the shared bus, and it was too loud, making it difficult for us to have conversations. I understand that it might be difficult to address this on the spot, so I would appreciate it if you could raise awareness about this in your guidelines or instructions.

スタッフは親切でアクティビティも楽しめました。ただ、同じバスの方たちがバスの中や船内で度を越えた騒ぎ方をしていて不快な気持ちになりました。乗り合いバスの中は、休みたい人もいますし、騒がし過ぎて、バスや、船内では。私達の会話もほとんどできませんでした。その場での注意は難しいと思いますので、注意事項などで喚起していただけますと幸いです。

One in a Lifetime Experience with the most beautiful Views

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.

思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。

Pretty place to go to once maybe twice, tide was up. So you basically are floating or walking on ocean floor

It was high tide, so we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar, but we were able to enjoy the stunning sea! On the boat, they sang songs and served donuts and drinks, so we never got bored. For activities other than kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, we could swim without life jackets.

満潮の時だったので綺麗なサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、十分に綺麗な海を見ることができました！
船の中では歌を歌ってくれたりドーナツやドリンクもサービスされ、退屈することなく過ごせました。
カヤックやSUP以外のアクティビティであればライフジャケットはなしで泳ぐことができました。

Gorgeous day! Captain Jeff and crew made our trip comfortable. Stop at Natatorium made the ash release so special. Great views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, and Ala Moana. Special treat when a very large pod of dolphins escorted us back to the pier.

The trip was a great experience. The boat ride was enjoyable. We sat on the upper deck and got wet which was great for us. The sights were amazing. The food and drink were fantastic. I would recommend this trip and would take it again. The captain and crew were friendly and helpful.

We took the family for a day of cruising, snorkeling, and relaxing. We saw dolphins, flying fish, sea turtles and beautiful coral and fish. The crew was amazing and took care of our every need. From keeping our drinks full, to sunscreen, dry towels, a delicious lunch and incredible snorkeling. We walked to the dock from Ko Olina, very easy. We cruised up the coast, so we did not go far but got a nice view of the resort from the ocean.

This tour was amazing. The staff was friendly and so helpful. There was so many things to do, you could snorkel, kayak, paddle-board or play beach volleyball. They even have this area where you can hang out on the water float and just relax in the sun. I will definitely be doing this excursion next year. We took my mom for her birthday and she had an absolute blast. The water was so clear and I got so lucky to see a sea turtle while I was kayaking. The tour also has live singers aboard, which makes the tour 10 times better, they were awesome. This tour was 10 out of 10 and thank you again to the staff for being so awesome!

This was our first experience snorkelling and it was absolutely amazing. Our reef guide Kalini made the experience so special, he was extremely knowledgeable about the fish we could see and spent time getting to know us so he could make our experience personal. There were many other activities available on the sandbar but we were having such a great time snorkelling we didn’t get around to doing anything else. I would highly recommend this activity.

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Oahu and this excursion! The crew was amazing — super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The local Hawaiian music they played on the boat was excellent and really added to the overall vibe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were a blast, and the views out on the bay were absolutely beautiful.

The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because we didn’t really get to see the sandbar. The water was up to my chest (I’m 5’11”), so it didn’t quite have that “standing on the sandbar” experience we were hoping for. Still, it was a really fun and relaxing trip that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!

This time, all participants were over sixty years old, but thanks to the kind and fun staff, we were able to enjoy sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding.

今回は参加者全員が還暦を過ぎた面々でしたが優しく楽しいSTAFFのおかげでシーカヤックやサップを楽しむ事ができました。

The best day ever crew was awesome and music was stellar Jessie!!!
