I had a great time. Since my feet were on the bottom of the water, I was able to challenge myself with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). I also enjoyed snorkeling. I felt safe following along because I had a guide for snorkeling. I was also taken care of by a Japanese captain.

楽しかったです。雨の底に足がついたのでSUPにもチャレンジできました。シュノーケルも楽しみました。シュノーケルも先導したもらったので安心してついて行けました。日本人キャプテンにもお世話になりました。

A bus will pick you up to Honolulu.
I enjoyed snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking for about two hours.
There were Japanese staff members, and the local staff spoke Japanese as well. They were cheerful people, so you can relax and have fun!

ホノルルまでバスの迎えが来てくれます。
シュノーケルやSUP、カヤックを2時間程度堪能しました。
日本人スタッフもいましたし、現地スタッフも日本語が話せて、陽気な人たちなので、安心して楽しめます！

It was a bit disappointing that there was only an English guide, but I enjoyed the scenery, so it was good. The check-in was smooth, and I'm glad I made a reservation for the tour.

英語ガイドしか無いのが少し残念でしたが、景色も楽しめて良かったです。受付もスムーズに出来て、予約(ツアー参加)しておいて良かったです。

After deciding to go to Hawaii, I was asked to go fishing, so I made a reservation here. Although they didn't speak Japanese, we managed to communicate since it was fishing. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all. During our trip, we didn't catch many fish overall, but my son caught three small ones and released them. Although we couldn't eat them, my son was very satisfied to be able to fish in the beautiful sea.

ハワイに行くと決まってから、釣りがしたいとお願いされ、こちらを予約しました。
日本語は通じませんが、釣りですので、何とかなりました。
心配していた船酔いも全くなかったです。
魚は参加した回は全体的にあまり釣れずでしたが、息子は小さめを3匹釣り、リリースしました。
食べることは出来ませんでしたが、息子は綺麗な海で釣りが出来、大満足でした。

Had a great day on the water. Right out of the bay we experience whales breaching the water. Staff was well trained, everyone had their job and was on it. They were very helpful in and out of the water. Very knowledgable about the history of the bay and Capt. Cook. Breakfast and lunch was very good and served efficiently. Saw lots of species of fish on the coral reef at the Capt. Cook Monument. To finish the day we were entertained by Spinner Dolphins jumping out of the water. Highly recommend!

The guide, who was fluent in Japanese, was very enjoyable and seemed like part of the boat crew. After spending plenty of time snorkeling, we were able to fully enjoy stand-up paddleboarding. It was my first challenge, but I was able to stand up. The weather was also perfect, making it a fun activity.

日本語が堪能なガイドさん(女性)が船のクルーにみえて非常に楽しかったです。シュノーケリングにたっぷり時間を割いて頂いたのちsupを十分に楽しむ事ができました。初めての挑戦でしたが立ち上がる事ができました。天気も最高に良く楽しいアクティビティとなりました。

In this time of yen depreciation, I hesitated to join the activity tour, but I’m really glad I experienced it! It felt almost unbelievable, like I was in a dream… it was a graceful, powerful, and majestic time with the manta rays.

However, my whole family tried to take photos with our smartphones, but we were so focused on observing and getting into position that we ended up not capturing a single image, which I truly regret. It was the highlight of the trip, but the impact of that experience is something that words alone cannot convey.

For those considering participation, having good physical stamina will enhance your enjoyment, so I recommend not postponing and experiencing it as soon as possible. Also, be sure to prepare your health to avoid lack of sleep and to be ready for potential seasickness!

この円安のご時世、アクティビティツアー参加はとても迷ったのですが、本当に体験して良かったです！
なんだか信じられない、夢の中にいたような…優雅で、パワフルで、雄大なマンタとの時間でした。
　
ただ、家族全員スマホで撮影を試みたのですが、体勢を整えて観察するので精一杯になり、画像が一枚も撮れなかったのが本当に本当に心残りです。
この旅行のハイライトとなったのですが、あの迫力はみんなに言葉だけでは伝えきれないです。

参加を考えている方は、体力があった方がより楽しめるので、また今度にと先延ばしせず体験されることをお勧めします。
あと船酔いに備え、睡眠不足にならないよう体調整えての参加を！

Very much a book cruise. Scenery was beautiful and staff were super friendly, but no information on whales other than that is was whale season. being on the boat was wonderful and can't beat the view and we did see whales, but I wish I hadn't had the mai tai as too strong for me. Bus was fun!

I purchased the Rock-A-Hula Luau Dinner with Green Room VIP Package as part of an early Valentines trip to the Island of Oahu. We are a couple who have been to each of the main Hawaiian Islands and look for unique experiences each place we travel. We have participated in other Luau's in Hawaii and similar other events in other places we have traveled. Upon arrival we were greeted with flower lei's. Then had Champagne and appetizers in the Green Room which had furnishings from Elvis's home. Cameron the manager who gave us the tour was very informative and could tell he had a passion for the production and the crew. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming and during dinner came around and performed various songs, dances, and even did a "Hula Lesson" for anyone who wanted to participate. The food and drinks were very good as well. Following Dinner we went back to the main theatre for the show which was a good blend of history and entertainment. We appreciated the screens showing the history and how it coordinated with the entertainment on stage. Overall the Green room/Backstage tour experience was very good and we are glad to have opted for this option but also would recommend just the dinner and show experience.

Meet at Pier 8 near Aloha Tower at 8:00 AM.
There is a shuttle service, but you can also take The Bus from Waikiki for just $3 one way!
I arrived before 8:00 AM, and check-in started right at 8:00, with check-in open until around 8:30. It's definitely better to arrive early.
We departed on time, and the female guide spoke various things in English to the participants, but I couldn't understand anything. (laughs)
After that, we were told we could freely move around the deck, and I looked out at the sea from the third floor, searching for whales.
The explanations about the whales were given alternately in English and Japanese, which was very educational and enjoyable.
Later, we heard an announcement about the direction of a spout, and everyone stared in that direction, but we didn't see any whales until the end of the cruise.
Well, it's nature, so it can't be helped.
That said, the view of Diamond Head from the sea was very beautiful, and it was a great experience.
When we were getting off the boat, there was an announcement that those who wanted could get tickets to ride again. If you're confident in your English, feel free to ask.
Considering the time I had in Honolulu, I thought it would be impossible to try again, so I didn't reschedule this time. After all, there's no guarantee that I would see anything next time either...
It was a fun experience. Thank you very much.

８時にアロハタワー近くのピア８集合。
送迎があるけどワイキキから出てるザバスで向かえば片道３ドルで行けます！
８時前に着き、８時ちょうどにチェックイン開始、８時半くらいまでチェックイン受け付けてた印象です。早く行くに越した事は無いですが。
時間通りに出航し、まず添乗員の女性が参加者に向かって色々英語で話してましたが全く分からず。笑
その後は自由にデッキを移動して良いと言われ、3階から海を眺めクジラを探しました。
クジラについての説明が英語と日本語交互で行われ、とても勉強になったし楽しかったです。
その後、潮吹きが何時の方向で見えましたのアナウンスを聞きみんなでそちらの方向を凝視するもクルージング終了までクジラは現れず。
まあ、自然相手なので仕方ないですね。
とは言え海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗で、良い体験になりました。
船を降りる時、希望者はまた乗れるチケットをくれるとアナウンスがありました。英語で伝えられる自信がある人は言ってみてください。
ホノルル滞在時間を考えるとまたチャレンジするのは無理かなと思い、今回は特段振り替えませんでした。次乗った時見れるとも限りませんからね、、、。
楽しい経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

It was my first time parasailing, and I had a really fun time. I also requested photos and received some great pictures. We rode on a small boat with a few other groups to go out to sea, so while others were experiencing it, we had to wait on the boat, which made the time on the boat quite long. I had heard from previous participants that there was a possibility of seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication beforehand and enjoyed it without feeling sick. I think it's essential for those who are prone to motion sickness. Other than that, it was an incredibly fun and amazing time.

初めてのパラセイリングでしたがとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
写真もお願いしてとてもいい写真をいただきました。
何組かと合同で小さい船に乗って沖まで出るので、他の方が体験している間は船で待っていることになり、かなり船に乗っている時間が長いです。事前に参加した方から船酔いする可能性あると聞いていたので酔い止めを事前に飲んで、特に酔うこともなく楽しめました。おそらく乗り物に弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。
それ以外は、とてもとても楽しく最高な時間でした。

Great trip with Tyler being our pilot. Not only was he a great pilot he was very knowledgable about the Big Island and about things a vacationer would not know. Saw many whales and spinner dolphins.. Circle Island tour was a great experience! Support staff was great and gave us all the information needed to make the trip great, but also safe!

We participated in the 11:30 session. There were seven of us in total, including the three of us and two pairs of friends who joined. It was great that we could fly as a group of three.

The weather was nice, and we enjoyed the stunning views. It was our first experience, and at first, there were parts that felt a bit scary, but as we got used to it, the height didn't bother us much.

If you pay an additional $40, you can receive dozens of photo data on an SD card (they can also transfer it on the spot if you have an iPhone). I recommend this for those who want to keep memories of themselves enjoying parasailing.

11:30の回に参加。我々３人と、二人連れ２組の計７人でボートに乗り込みました。我々は３人で飛べたのでよかったです。

天気がよかったこともあり、絶景を満喫しました。初めての体験で、最初は少し怖かった部分もありましたが、慣れてくると高さはあまり気になりません。

追加で$40を支払うと数十枚の写真データをSDカードでもらえます（iPhoneでればその場で転送もしてくれます）。パラセイリングを楽しんでいる自分たちの姿を残しておきたい方にはオススメです。

We had a very large group of all ages and swim levels and everyone had such a great time! The crew was so nice and helpful. We would definitely go again.

I thought this horseback riding experience was a bit hard for complete beginners. The staff was very kind and interacted with us in a fun way, which made me very satisfied. However, the fact that it was only in English was a concern. I understood that there was no Japanese guide, but since we are dealing with animals, it's very important to have explanations that need to be conveyed clearly, and doing that entirely in English felt a bit off. While it's understandable that the guide is in English, I believe there should be a Japanese version of the instructions on how to ride and safety precautions, or at least an email sent in advance with that information.

Even though the staff explained things clearly, I think there might be instances where I could miss something if it's in English. It's not just about being careful for myself; we are dealing with living animals. Their mood can change, and they might get agitated over small things. I actually experienced that this time. Fortunately, nothing serious happened, and the horse is not to blame, but I hope this aspect can be improved.

今回の乗馬体験は、全くの乗馬初心者にはちょっとハードだったかなと思いました。スタッフの方はとても親切で、楽しく接してくれて大満足なんですが、まずは英語ガイドなこと。日本語ガイドがない事はわかっていたのですが、動物相手なので、とても重要なことの説明が必要なのに、それを全部英語でと言うのは、ちょっと違うかなと思いました。ガイドは英語でも仕方ないことですが、注意しなければいけない事、馬の乗り方の説明ガイドの日本語版は用意して欲しい、もしくは前もってメールで送るなどの配慮が必要だと思いました。
スタッフの方はわかりやすく説明はしてくれても、英語だと聞き逃したりがあるとおもいます。
自分だけが気をつけていればで済むことではないからです。相手は生きている動物なので。その時の気分や、ちょっとしたことで暴れてしまうこともあるからです。実際今回私はそうでした。大事にはいたりませんでしたし、馬に罪はないのでそれ以上どうと言う事はありませんが、その点は改善して欲しい事です。

It was beautiful, but it was just too cold. My 12-year-old child enjoyed it, but it was tough for my 6-year-old daughter. I recommend it for those over 10 years old. I wish the price could be lower for children who can't snorkel.

きれいだったけど、とにかく寒すぎました
12歳の子供は楽しめましたが、6歳の娘は厳しかったです。10歳以上の方にオススメします
シュノーケルできない子供は料金を安くしてほしいです

Enjoying the wave pool!
- After arriving by bus
It was a bit unsettling to find no one there, but when we went near the entrance, a Japanese staff member was there to assist us. They helped us enter and even guided us to where we could rent lockers.

- Wave pool
My child (11 years old) seemed to have the most fun here. There are also floaties available. There are thrilling rides, but my child ended up crying, so please be cautious. It might be a little scary for kids at first, but once they get used to it, it's no problem! Some of the thrill rides require you to take off your glasses, so those who wear glasses should be careful. I put mine in my pocket.

- Lunch
We added lunch to the tour, but I thought it was a bit insufficient. It might be better to plan on purchasing your own food.

波のプールでエンジョイ！
・バスで到着後
誰もいなくて、ちょっと不安になりますが、入り口付近に行くと、日本人スタッフの方がいらっしゃり、一緒に入場してくださり、ロッカーを借りるところまで、お世話をしていただけました。

・波のプール
子ども（11歳）は、ここが一番楽しかったようです。浮き輪も置いてあります。
絶叫系のものありあすが、子どもは泣いてしまったので、注意して下さい。
子どもには、最初ちょっと怖いかも。慣れてしまえば問題ないです！
絶叫系はメガネは外さないとだめなのもあるので、メガネの人は注意して
下さい。私はポケットにいれました。

・お昼
ツアーにお昼を付けましたが、ちょっと足りないかと思います。自分で購入できるので、そのつもりの方が良いかと思います。

We went as a family of three (with an 11-year-old child) and had a truly satisfying and precious time!

- Getting to the port by bus
After arriving, I felt a bit anxious about where to go, but it was fine as long as we followed the flow. A Japanese staff member provided explanations. It's a good idea to fill out a waiver beforehand. No need to print it; you can do it on your smartphone.

- On the way
We headed there while listening to Hawaiian live music, which really lifted our spirits. It felt very Hawaiian.

- Kayaking
First, we enjoyed kayaking together as a family of three. The child had a great time too!

- Stand-up paddleboarding
Standing up at first is a bit scary, but it's manageable.

- Snorkeling
I believe we will definitely see fish. We received fish food from the staff. It was the child's first snorkeling experience, and they enjoyed it without any issues!

I recommend bringing a GoPro. You can take pictures safely underwater, and the staff can take family photos for you, creating memories that you wouldn't normally capture!

One thing I regret is not knowing how to give tips. I wanted to give a tip to the staff who helped us during snorkeling, but I didn't see a place for it on the boat. There was a box for tips inside the boat, so I put it there. However, when we got off the boat, the staff were there to see us off. Was it proper etiquette to give tips there? I didn't have any ready in my hand, so I just shook hands and left. I hope I didn't leave a bad impression on the staff who took care of us! It was the best hospitality. If I have the chance, I will go again!

親子3人（子ども11歳）で行きました。大満足な貴重な時間が過ごせました！
・バスで港まで
到着後、どこに行けばよいかちょっと不安になりますが、流れに沿って行けば大丈夫でした。日本人スタッフの方が説明して頂きました。行く前に事前に誓約書みたいのを書いていくと良いです。印刷不要です。スマホで出来ます。
・行くまで
ハワイアンライブミュージックを聞きながら、テンションを上げながら向かいます。ハワイって感じでした。
・カヤック
まずは、カヤックは３人乗りで、親子３人で楽しみました。子供も楽しめます！
・スタンダップパドル
最初立つのは怖いですが、大丈夫です。
・シュノーケリング
魚は、間違いなく見れると思います。スタッフの方に魚のえさをもらえました。子供は初のシュノーケリングでしたが、全く問題なく楽しんでました！

GoProの持参をおすすめします。海の中でも安心して撮れますし、スタッフの方に家族の写真を撮ってもらえたりして、普段撮れない写真が撮れて、良い思い出になっています！

ちょっと悔いが残るのは、チップの渡し方がわかりませんでした。
シュノーケリングの時にお世話になったスタッフに渡したかったのですが、
ボート内に見たらなかったので、ボートの中にチップを入れる箱があった
ので、そこに入れました。でもボートを降りると、スタッフの方が
見送りでいてくれました。そこでチップを渡すのがマナーだったのでしょうか？
手にチップを用意しておらず・・そのまま、握手をして帰ることに・・。
お世話になったスタッフの方に嫌な思いをさせていたらすみません！
最高のおもてなしでした。
機会があれば、また行きます！

I received some important information before arriving at the sandbar. The captain spoke only in English, but a female staff member kindly explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel very reassured during the experience.

Once we arrived, we enjoyed paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and drinks and light snacks (one Spam per person and some snacks) were available for us to enjoy freely! For those who couldn't snorkel, they could hold onto an inflatable ring, and the staff would pull them to points where we could see fish and even sea turtles. It was a wonderful experience!

Thanks to this, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I had a really great time! Thank you very much!

サンドバーに着くまでに注意事項を聞きました。
キャプテンは完全に英語のみでしたが、女性スタッフが日本語で説明しなおしてくださり、とても安心して体験出来ました
着いたらサップや浮き輪で楽しみ、ドリンクや軽食(スパム1人1つとスナック)はご自由にという感じでした！
シュノーケルではできない人が浮き輪に捕まり、スタッフがひっぱって魚が見えるポイントや海ガメのところまで連れて行ってくださって、とてもいい体験ができました！！
おかげさまで海ガメと泳ぐことが出来ました
本当に楽しかったです！
ありがとうございました！

This time, since it was my first visit to Hawaii in a while, I booked a dinner cruise for the last day. We were guided to the fourth floor, which featured a gorgeous space and a spacious deck. You can immediately tell it’s a special setting. The sunset view across the sea from the window, combined with the magical beauty of the sunset, creates the perfect location. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but everything was delicious with delicate seasoning. By the time we reached the main course, I was usually quite full, and even if they served a steak with an overly marbled texture at that point, I could only manage a bite. However, the steak had a good balance of texture, which I personally rated highly. There was piano music, saxophone, and live jazz singing, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that matched the dress code. The captain greeted each guest, and the staff's attentive service was refined. Since I participated with my spouse, I imagined how wonderful it would be to spend this special time with all our children as well. I definitely want to participate again. T.K

I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first sunset cruise on the Honolulu. Perhaps because it was a weekday, all the middle seats were empty, and we were seated by the window with a view. The atmosphere was very nice, and the guests, wearing bright red dresses, added a touch of elegance to the space. The course meal included an appetizer of assorted cheeses, a salad (with lobster), a sorbet in between, thick-cut roast beef with truffle mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and coffee. Everything was truly delicious, and I could really feel the quality of 5A. With live performances, it was a dinner cruise that left me completely satisfied. S.K

今回は久しぶりのハワイという事で、最終日にディナークルーズを予約。
4階部分に案内され、ゴージャスな空間と、広めのデッキ。
特別な空間とすぐにわかります。
窓から見れる海を挟んでの夕景は、日の入り時の幻想的な美しさと合わさって、最高のロケーションに。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、繊細さを持つ味付けでどれも美味しい。
メイン料理に辿り着く頃、大抵満腹近くなり、そのタイミングで霜降り過ぎる肉質のステーキなど出されても到底一口しか食べれないが、バランスの良い肉質のステーキで、個人的には◎。
ピアノ演奏、サックス、ジャスの生歌があり、ドレスコードに合った演出に、非日常感があります。
キャプテンが一人一人に挨拶され、スタッフの方の丁寧なもてなしも洗練されたものがあります。
今回夫婦で参加したため、子供たちもみんな連れてこの特別な時間を過ごせたらと想像した程素晴らしい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
是非また参加したいです。
T.K

サンセットクルーズは何度か参加しましたが、
ホノルル号でのサンセットクルーズははじめてでした。
平日という事もあってか、真ん中の席は全て空いていて、景色が見える窓際に案内されました。
雰囲気もとても良く、来てるお客さまも真っ赤なドレスなど一流の雰囲気を醸し出され、空間に華を添えています。
コース料理も前菜チーズ盛合わせ、サラダ（ロブスター付き）、一度シャーベットを挟み、
厚切りローストビーフにトリュフ入りマッシュポテト、チーズケーキとコーヒーでした。
どれも本当に美味しくて流石5Aだなと感じました。
生演奏ライブもあって大満足のディナークルーズでした。

Everyone was great! The staff and the horses. The trip totally made my day. The weather was great and trail was interesting. Good times. Thank you to Tori who was our trail guide. She seemed to know exactly what the horses needed and when

We were reassured that the tour would be a "go" even though rain was threatening. The group was a bit hesitant but the trip went without a hitch, even when the skies opened up and we got dumped on. The tubing portion was great and a lot of fun for all. Kiersten was a great lead guide, and her team made sure that everyone was safe. Lunch was good, but dampened by the downpour. Overall, I believe that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this adventure. Special kudos to Kiersten.

This is absolutely the best tour we ever had! It was cloudy before we ascend the Mt. Haleakala, but the mountain peak was above the cloud and we could watch the beautiful sunset. We even saw the shade of the Earth on the right side of the horizon after the sunset. Gorgeous!
Then the guide set up two telescopes for stargazing. We were the only group at the overlook area a bit away from the peak, it was a beautiful starry night just like a natural planetarium.
He offered us a hot drink and doughnuts, that was nice. We had a great time looking constellations, Andromeda and other nebulae, Jupiter with its stripes and four satellites and so on, very educational. I recommend this tour for anyone.

I was a bit anxious about the unfamiliar activities abroad, but the bus guidance on the day was clear, and there were Japanese staff on-site, which made me feel at ease.

I was able to go horseback riding for two hours in the great outdoors, which was also a filming location for Jurassic Park, and it was incredibly relaxing. I definitely want to go again!

慣れない海外でのアクティビティで少し不安でしたが、当日のバスの案内などもわかりやすく、現地では日本人スタッフの方もいて、安心でした。

ジュラシックパークのロケ地にもなった大自然の中で、2時間も乗馬ができて、最高に癒されました。またぜひ行きたいです！

We had the best time whale watching! Captain Paul, and Micah are wonderful!! Captain Paul, piloted us towards multiple whale pods, he and Micah pointed out the whales, showing us the females, calves, and escort male whales. We were given great information regarding their travels, rituals, and behaviors. It was truly an awesome experience!l We can’t wait to do it again!

They treated us with so much aloha spirit that they are the only ones we would want to go out with again!!

It was a great tour packed with info. Instructions were very clear and we knew what to do from start to finish. We had a disabled member in our party and Michael did whatever he could to make our trip memorable and easy

This boat was by far the best option for whale watching. We took my 3 year old son for his birthday, so glad we chose this one. Our captain was determined to have everyone witness all of the amazing sights of whales in their natural habitat including, breaching, Mom and baby, whale tail waves, even the smell of anchovy whale breath! Will definitely be doing this one again! This was the highlight of our trip, an unforgettable experience! Mahalo Hawaii Nautical!

The activity itself was so much fun, and I was very satisfied! Driving was enjoyable, and the bumpy roads, puddles, and hills were all a blast!

My body, face, and hair ended up covered in dust!

I brought a raincoat based on reviews, but it was too hot to wear. I recommend bringing a complete change of clothes, plenty of wet wipes, and disposable plastic bags to cover your belongings!

My face was covered in sand, even my eyelashes, so if you're concerned about that, it's a good idea to bring makeup remover and cosmetics or plan a schedule where you can return to the hotel right away.

We left early in the morning for the activity and had a tour that ended around 2 PM, but I spent too much time getting ready for the return trip and had to skip lunch. I went straight back to the hotel and reset everything, haha!

アクティビティ自体は楽しすぎて大満足でした！運転自体が楽しいし、ガタガタする道や水たまり、坂など…とても楽しかったです！

体、顔、髪すべてが砂埃だらけになります！

口コミを見てレインコートを持参しましたが暑すぎて着ていられず。
おすすめは、全身の着替え・たくさんのウェットティッシュ・荷物を覆うための使い捨てビニール袋を持参することです！

顔はまつげまで砂まみれになるので、気になる方はメイク落としと化粧品を持参またはすぐホテルに帰れるスケジュールにするといいです。

朝早くに出てすぐアクティビティ、14時頃解散のツアーでしたが、帰りの身支度に時間を取られて昼食は断念、すぐホテルに帰ってオールリセットしました笑

I have a slight fear of heights, but I participated. The wind was strong and it was scary, but the fun outweighed the fear. Motion sickness medication was a must.

少し高所恐怖症ですが、参加しました。
風が強くて怖かったけど楽しさのほうが勝ちました。
酔い止め必須でした。

The event began on time with a glass of champagne. I must admit that the food was better than expected. The staff waited to serve each course until we were at the table, as we often went out to take air between courses and take pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short dinner cruise with romantic/relaxing ambiance.
