We had a great time, enjoyed the food and first class service as well as entertainment and fireworks. The only negative was that if you eat different meals, you can't sit together in the same room. The staff did make accommodation and get us together but we never got the steak and lobster that was paid for with the more expensive meal.

It was perfect weather, and the cruising on the stable Navatek was comfortable. I was able to see the whales raising their fins from a distance during the whale watching, but... It was a fun tour enjoyed separately from my family, but the excitement of the watching experience was lacking.
絶好のお天気、揺れないナバテック号に快適なクルージングでした。

We travel a lot and love an afternoon sail. Wednesday's 3pm sail featured mellow 70s music (CCR, Eagles, and that classic plane crash ditty Fire and Rain, along with some 50s tunes). Really? Music that's 40 - 58 years old?
The captains seemed barely engaged in their jobs, chatting with each other about filing their taxes for much of the 90 minute sail.
Though the trades weren't blowing, no effort was made to find enough wind to make it feel like a sail, nor did our crew display any interest in pointing out local landmarks, Hawaiian history and lore, or the flora and fauna.
There were good at hustling the $2 waters and sodas and $10 refillable drinks and reminding us to tip.
Snooze.

I've never been to a fishing cruise so this was a great excursion for a first timer like myself. The boat actually departed from right behind the Hilton Waikiki Hotel where we stayed, so we could just walk over to the check-in. The crew was super friendly and helpful. It did take a few tries to get a hang of it, and the fish kept taking our bait. After my 4th or 5th try, I caught my first fish! They did change the fishing spot a few times and one of the passengers got an edible fish so they cooked it right there and served everyone. Highly recommended for the entire family!

This was my first couple's massage, and the jet bath after the Lomi Lomi was amazing! I always come to the Mandara Spa at Hilton when I visit Hawaii, so I've been here about five or six times. It's expensive, but I love that I can use the sauna and pool facilities as much as I want; it's a dream time for me. Until now, my daughter was at the age where she would just wait, so this was her first spa experience! She said she understands why mom loves it. I sometimes wonder if this luxurious experience was ten years too early for her.
私もカップルマッサージは初めてでロミロミの後のジェットバスが最高でした!!

First of all, we had the experience of riding a glass-bottom boat at various tourist spots, but my eldest and second sons were extremely excited about the submarine. There were many families with small children, and it was great that we could enjoy our time without any issues even when our youngest shouted loudly every time he saw a fish or a turtle inside the vessel. The next day, we were very satisfied playing in the sand at the beach during departure.

I had previously experienced parasailing, so I chose this tour, which is more expensive than others.
The meeting place was in front of Quiksilver in the city center. It's easy to find since there aren't many people, but the road isn't very wide and there's no shade, so it was hot while waiting. The pickup vehicle was described as a "colorful trolley bus with the logos of 'Honolulu Screamer' and 'X-Treme Parasail'," but it was just a regular van. Since there were no logos and the staff didn't call out names when they arrived, it's better to ask if a vehicle that looks like it has come.
After checking in at the port, we were assigned to a boat and set off immediately. The boat I was on had 10 people in 5 pairs. The boat goes quite fast, so it rocks a bit. We didn't ride for a long time, but if you're worried about motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication beforehand.
The staff efficiently explained everything and prepared the equipment, and we took turns flying. The actual time in the air was about 5 to 6 minutes, which is quite short. I chose 110 meters, but it didn't feel very high, so I thought I could have gone for 150 meters instead. I'm not great with heights, but I didn't feel scared at all, so I think anyone can enjoy it. Hawaii always has a breeze, but it was very stable in the air, so I could relax and enjoy it.
At the end, it's standard to dip your feet and lower body in the water when landing, but we weren't able to do that since we wore clothes over our swimsuits. I was a bit disappointed because I thought I was prepared to get wet. Those who were only in swimsuits were able to get wet, so if you want to do that, it's better to take off your clothes.
The weather was great, and I enjoyed the beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the stunning ocean below from the air. Overall, the experience was short, so even those with limited time can easily enjoy Hawaii's beautiful scenery, and I highly recommend it!
パラセイリングは以前体験したことがあったので、他のツアーより高いこちらを選びました。
集合場所は街中のクイックシルバー前でした。人がたくさんいるわけではないので分かりやすいですが、道がそんなに広くない上に日陰がない場所なので、待っている間暑かったです。
迎えの車は、案内では「「Honolulu Screamer」「X-Treme Parasail」のロゴが入った、カラフルなトロリーバス」となっていましたが、普通のバンでした。ロゴが入っているわけでもなく、来てもスタッフの方が名前を呼んでくれるわけでもないので、それっぽい車がきたら自分から聞きに行った方がよいです。
港についてから受付後、ボートを割り振られてすぐに出港しました。私が乗ったボートは2人ずつ5組の10人でした。
ボートはかなりスピードを出すので結構揺れます。そんなに長い時間は乗りませんが、心配な方は酔い止めを飲んどいたほうがいいかも。
スタッフの方がてきぱきと説明、装備の準備をしてくれて順番に飛んでいきました。
実際に空中にいる時間は5,6分くらい。結構短いです。私は110mにしましたが、全然高いという感じはせずちょっと物足りなかったので150mにしてもよかったかなと思いました。
私は高いところが苦手なほうですが、怖いということは全くなかったのでどんな方でも楽しめると思います。ハワイは常に風が吹いていますが、空中でも特に揺れることもなくとても安定していたので安心して楽しむことができました。
最後降りるときに、足や下半身を水につけるのが定番ですが、私たちは水着の上に服を着ていたせいかやってもらえませんでした。濡れてもいい服で行ったつもりだったのでちょっと残念でした。水着のみになっていた方は水につけられていたので、やってもらいたい人は服を脱いだほうがいいです。
天気もよく空中からワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッド、足元に広がるキレイな海を堪能できて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ツアー全体を通しても短い時間で体験できるので、滞在時間が短い方でも気軽にハワイの綺麗な景色を楽しむことができおすすめです!

I went on a 5-night, 7-day honeymoon. I had a packed schedule, and I had to change the itinerary after arriving. I couldn't make copies at the hotel, so I got it done at the JCB Center, which worked out fine.
The person who picked us up was very entertaining. If you want to take photos, I recommend asking before getting on the boat. I asked others as well, but it's definitely worth it to buy them. I didn't experience any seasickness.
Above all, the view was amazing. It became a wonderful memory. I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

I waited at the ticket booth 30 minutes before departure, but there was no one around. As I kept waiting, a lot of people started gathering near the catamaran. In the end, check-in began right at the departure time in front of the catamaran, and we were photographed as a group. We boarded while getting wet up to our thighs. Although we were assigned seats, it seemed we could sit anywhere if there were open spots. Some people stood the whole time getting splashed with water, and I worried if they were cold. (It wasn't cold if you didn't get splashed.) There were about five Japanese people, and the Mai Tai was very delicious, so be careful not to drink too much.
We enjoyed the wind and turned around at the back of Diamond Head, then had a luxurious time watching the sunset. Perhaps because of the season, we were lucky enough to see a whale's tail.
Everyone was excited about the crew's talk, but it was totally fine not to understand English.
The tour ended on time. Right after getting off, photos were printed and sold for $20, but it was perfectly fine to decline. However, the photo of us with the blue ocean, Diamond Head, and the catamaran in the background turned out beautifully, so we decided to buy it.
I've experienced sunset cruises on luxury ships, but I want to go on this tour again. I wonder when I can go next.

June 2015 we did this sunset cruise and hands down said it was the best part of our trip. March 2016 we planned another trip back to Waikiki and this was the first thing we booked. When you check in for the cruise you will have your picture taken before you board, with Diamond Head in your background. You can buy it at the end of the cruise for $20 dollars. We now have bought 2 of these pictures which are now hanging up in our house because the quality is so great! The selection of drinks is great but oh my goodness you have to try the boat cocktail. Hands down one of my favorite drinks now and I craved that cocktail ever since our first cruise. But beware they have a punch and you will be feeling great on no time! Thanks to the crew for a awesome experience once again. You guys are awesome!! This last cruise was the best because it was windy enough to sail, we saw a blue whale and it was a perfect evening. Cocktail in hand! One thing that I also enjoy about this cruise is by the end of the cruise you've became friends with half the boat and had a amazing time while enjoying the view. Thanks again Holokai Crew until next time!
Cheers!

Since it was a living creature, it depended on luck, but from a distance, I was able to see the spouting and the tail multiple times. I saw the body jump once and the tail slap once, which drew cheers from those on board.
I had heard that there were no explanations in Japanese, but this time there was a Japanese staff member on the boat who provided a simple explanation in Japanese following the English commentary. I was quite torn between this plan and another boat's plan, but I think choosing the Navatek was definitely the right decision. This boat seems to maneuver well, and it turns the bow towards the direction where the whales are spotted, allowing everyone on the deck at the front to see the same moment almost simultaneously.
Also, the sunlit surface of the sea was quite dazzling, so I thought it was essential to position ourselves with the sun behind us to see the whales.
Another boat was nearby, and it actually seemed closer to the whales, but given the direction of the sun, I think it would have been quite blinding. I believe it would have been challenging to keep focusing in that direction. Additionally, in a situation where we had to rush to the deck side to see the whales, it seemed difficult for all family members to witness the same sight. So, even though it was a bit pricey, I really felt it was worth it to choose the Navatek. However, I thought the pickup fee was a bit high. Since it wasn't far from Waikiki, I think it would have been fine to take a taxi if we had participated with multiple people.
生き物相手なので運しだいということでしたが、遠目ですが潮吹きや尻尾は何度も見れたし
体のジャンプが1回、尻尾を打ち付けるのが1回見られて船内から歓声があがっていました。
口コミで日本語での説明がないということでしたが、今回は日本人のスタッフが同船していて
英語の解説に続き日本語でも簡単な説明をしてくれていました。
もう一つの船のプランとかなり迷ったのですが、ナバテック号にして大正解だと思いました。
こちらの船は小回りが利くらしく、くじらが見えた方向に船首を向けてくれるので
デッキのある前方で目をこらしている客は全員ほぼ同じ瞬間を見られます。
また日のあたる海面はかなりまぶしいので、太陽を後ろにした位置どりをしてくれるのも
クジラを見る必須条件だと思いました。
もう一つの船も近くにいて、実際にはそちらの船の方がクジラから近かったように見えましたが
太陽の向きだったのでかなりまぶしかったんじゃないかと思います。
そちらの方向に目をこらし続けるのは大変だったと思います。
またクジラが見えるデッキ側へ急いで移動しなくてはならない状況では
同行した家族全員が同じ光景を見るのは難しかったように思いましたので
少し高かったけれどナバテック号にして本当によかったと思います。
ただ送迎料金が少し高いかなと思います。
