Hawaii
The countdown from a vantage point overlooking Waikiki Beach was amazing! There was some time between the departure and the countdown, but during that time, I was able to enjoy fireworks from various hotels and homes. Looking up, I could see so many stars, which was also moving! The countdown amidst such beautiful scenery was a once-in-a-lifetime moment that I will always remember. It was truly fun!!! However, it can be quite chilly during this time, so having a long-sleeved jacket might be necessary...
ワイキキビーチを一望できる位置でのカウントダウンが最高でした!
出航してからカウントダウンまで時間が空いていたのですが、その間も各ホテルや家庭から上がる花火を楽しむことができました。そして上を見上げると星がたくさん見えてそれにもまた感動!どこを見ても綺麗な景色の中でのカウントダウンは今までにない一生の思い出に残る瞬間となりました。本当に楽しかった!!!
ただこの時期はかなり肌寒いので長袖の上着がないとツライかも…?
The food and Polynesian dance were great. I participated alone, but I was able to chat a bit with a Japanese couple sitting next to me. I also thought that having a designated waiter for each table contributed to the smooth service.
料理もポリネシアンダンスもよかったです。一人参加だったのですが、隣の日本人夫婦の方と少しお話ができました。また、テーブルごとに担当のウエイターが決まっていることも、スムーズな対応につながるのだと思いました。
Thank you very much for participating in our New Year's Eve cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed meeting the person next to you. Please come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

I enjoyed participating in the bus tour of the illuminated city at night, which was a view I don't usually get to see! The double-decker bus offered a great view too✨ It can be a bit chilly, so it's better to bring a long-sleeved shirt!
ライトアップの夜の街をバスで走り、普段見れないシティだったので、楽しく参加出来ました!
バスも2階建てでとても良い景色でしたよー✨
少し寒いので、長袖は持って行ったほうがいいですねぇ!
Overrated, but still fun to see the city from up high (especially with kids)
It was a nice and fun trolley ride with the kids to see the Honolulu City Christmas lights. Recommend it to anyone who wants to sit back, relax and listen to Christmas songs while enjoying the festive lights. I liked is especially that I didn't have to drive and look for parking which made the evening more enjoyable to spend with the kids.
Highly recommend this tour and buy yoir tickets thru this site. Fast and prompt notification on confirmations, etc.
I scheduled a massage for my arrival day for the first time. First, they offered a foot bath with a salt massage, which was quite refreshing. The 90-minute massage was also very pleasant, and I dozed off a bit.
初めて到着日にマッサージを予定してみました。まず足湯をソルトマッサージ付きでしてくれるので、かなりさっぱりしました。
マッサージも90分ウトウトしながら気持ちよかったです。
We loved the whole thing! Only thing we would change is maybe including a printout of all the menu items with further detail such as ingredients and/or how the tradition cake about in ancient Hawaiian culture.
GREAT time!!!! Staff was wonderful and did a great job of ensuring we had a good time!!!
If we had the time, we’d do it again!!!
We had a really good time at the Luau. It was 1 hour long and that was enough time for my children ages 9 & 12 to enjoy the show and get a feel for a bit of Hawaiian culture. We did the cocktails only show and we found this to be a good option for our family. It was a good show for the $112 it cost to attend.
Loved loved our lei's fresh and beautiful !! The lady helped get our luggage and our shuttle. She was wonderful!!
Aloha Dottie!
Thank you for your wonderful review! Your greeter, Marlyn, had an absolutely wonderful time with your lei greeting. We pride ourselves with our aloha, and we are glad to have shared it to you to last you a lifetime! I will inform Marlyn of your wonderful review, and I am quite certain that she will be ecstatic. We hope to serve you again in the future!

Our driver Pua was so wonderful and made our trip so memorable !!!!!!
Thank you very much for your review and your email to our office. We will pass this on to Pua as she also mentioned to us that she had a great time with you and your family. We look forward to your return later this year =P

It was very nice, we opted for the cocktails and show. A little disappointed that the bartender left a few minutes after the show started.
I was busy with work and couldn't go on a honeymoon. For our 30th wedding anniversary, I chose this tour to Hawaii for the first time. I kept the wedding ceremony a surprise for my wife. While we were on the cruise, enjoying Red Lobster and steak, the crew said they would take us to meet the captain, and we had the ceremony there. It was sudden, and my wife was overjoyed, thanking me for a lifetime memory.
仕事が忙しく新婚旅行に行くことが出来なかたった。今回初めてのハワイで結婚30年の節目にこのツアーを選びました。妻には、結婚セレモニーを内緒にサプライズにしておきました。クルーに入って、レッドロブスターやステーキを食べている時、船長にあわせてあげると言って連れて行かれセレモニーをして頂きました。突然のことで妻も、一生の思い出をありがとうと大喜びでした。
Thank you very much for choosing our cruise to celebrate your special day. The surprise vow renewal for your wife is truly wonderful! We are also very happy to hear that she enjoyed it. Please do come back together again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Was so easy to purchase this as a wedding gift. What a great idea to give for someone that is going to Hawaii on their honeymoon!
There are many wild dolphins closely, that's really amazing. However, if there is less people on the cruis that would be better. Overall, it is nice activity.
Had a blast on this event! Although we did not see dolphins up close, we still saw amazing sea life and beautiful waters! First time snorkeling out this far and it was awesome! Worked up an appetite and the crew hit it off with some tasteful grub!!! Shaka to the crew!!!
I participated with my wife and my parents, who are nearly 80 years old. We found out at the last minute that our reserved sunset cruise was not available due to Independence Day, so we hurriedly signed up for this plan instead. It was quite a bit over our budget, but in the end, it was definitely the right choice. We were able to watch the Independence Day fireworks from the boat, and my parents were absolutely thrilled.
家内と80歳目前の両親と一緒に参加しました。他に予約していたサンセットクルーズが独立記念日ということで予約できてないことが直前にわかり、慌ててこちらのプランを申し込みました。予算的にはかなりオーバーしましたが、結果的にこちらで大正解でした。独立記念日の花火も船上から見ることができて、両親も大喜びでした。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Great experience, enjoyed by whole family, would recommend to others!
This was done nicely. The dancers were so elegant and the history was informative. Finally the vendors were so nice and showed great craftsmanship.
Thank you for getting us too and from our events in a safe and timely manner. The graduates enjoyed the comfortable ride.
It was an entertaining intimate luau with crowd participation. We did the show and cocktail only option since we are not big eaters. It would have been nice to know they close the bar when the show starts so we were bamboozled on the drinks. Show was not very long but very good.
We loved our time on the snorkeling and dinner cruise excursion. Well worth the price. Our captain gave great instruction and safety procedures. He also took us up snd close to a whale which gave us quite a show within 25 yards or so. The time by the shore snorkeling was impressive. Lots of fish.
The dinner was delicious with plenty of variety of drinks both spirited and not. I enjoyed the time to enjoy the sunset. Beautiful. There are two restrooms where you can change. Two shower hoses to rinse off after you snorkel. Staff was great. Underwater photographer was along for optional photo package you can purchase.
I know it's just the luck of the draw and bad timing but 5 or 6 people got sick on our trip due to high waves. Maybe cancelling the trip would have been best because after all that, the provided meal was not at all appetizing. Yes we saw a couple green sea turtles, but it would have been much, much better without the fear of human projectile.
It was very sucesefull suprise for my son and his girlfriend! Mahalo
Very special treatment throughout. Even though we had bad weather, the Captain accommodated us by performing some of the ceremony outside as rain permitted. The food and the service were the highest quality.
We renewed our vows and it was very special. The staff was very attentive and our dinner was wonderful. The Captain was very sincere when doing the renewal.
My wife and I enjoyed this very much, Great way to help celebrate our 30th anniversary. A fun and knowledgable crew took very good care of us. Fantastic catamaran
We came with a couple who had not yet experienced Hawaii. To be welcomed with the beautiful leis and friendly and helpful people, gave us the start we were hoping for. Thank you so much, for the great products, but even more for the true reflection of the "Aloha" spirit!
Aloha! Thank you for taking the time to inform us of your lei greeting! The image of all of you being happy is so priceless! Your greeter, Rumalynn, is a great example of genuine Hawaiian hospitality, and we enjoyed assisting you with this lei greeting from start to finish! We hope you had a wonderful time here on our islands, and we look forward to having the opportunity to serve you again in the future!
Mahalo!

This was a great trip to go on. The check-in went smooth and the staff were friendly. The ocean was rough but the boat was so stable that I did not even get sea sick. While we were not able to go snorkeling because of this, we saw a whale and lots of dolphins! The morning sunshine made for a beautiful backdrop to the Waianae coastline. Ocean Joy is environmentally friendly to the dolphins and we normally would get to snorkel- just not with the dolphins since it disturbs them.
Our photographer gave everyone a 50% discount on our normally $40 photo package and the photos turned out great! We appreciated the treatment of the crew and everyone had fun even though we did not snorkel. Drinks and lunch were served and everything was tasty. I had fun and look forward to going with this crew again someday. Thanks to Veltra for a smooth confirmation process. It could not have been easier to book a fun outing.
We came to Hawaii for the first time as a couple. The service was wonderful, and watching the fireworks from the boat created great memories. The air conditioning and sea breeze were colder than expected, so be careful about what you wear.
夫婦で初めてハワイに来ました。
サービスも素晴らしく、花火を船上から見ることができていい思い出になりました。
冷房と潮風が思ったより寒いので、着るものには注意が必要です。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
It's wonderful that you and your spouse traveled to Hawaii for the New Year.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our services and the fireworks.
As you mentioned, it can be a bit chilly in the evenings and indoors in Hawaii, so we recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes.
Please do come back and visit us again with your spouse.
All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
