I took this trip on my own. The staff were very friendly and personable and laid back. The catamaran was quite large and fit everyone comfortably. Unfortunately, the water was quite silty and therefore the visibility was poor. I saw a couple of turtles and a few fish, but overall the snorkeling portion of the trip was disappointing. It sounds like from other reviews it is not always this way, so I may have just been unlucky. After snorkeling, we sailed around, which was fun. Subway subs were provided for lunch; however there were no vegetarian friendly subs - I would recommend for the future that this option be made available.
Overall, the trip was good but would have been much better had the visibility been better.

It was my first time paragliding, and it was so much fun. I booked for 90 meters, but there was another foreign family with us, and since it was the last time slot, I think we flew over 90 meters.

I had a great time on this trip. We were running a bit late due to a road being closed,but that didn't seem to be an issue. I liked that they called to confirm that we were still coming. The crew was great and pretty much left us to just enjoy the ride after they went through safety and other useful instructions.
We went out a decent ways but not too far out to hit the really rough waters (granted I like big waves so I would have been fine with the rougher waters). If there was any interesting wild life, they pointed it out so everyone could see.There's a drink bar. I didn't really use this for anything beyond soda. I did buy one of their cups and still think it was worth it. It's a useful cup. As for space on the boat, there was never an issue with not having enough room to look out over the railing.
Things my husband and I enjoyed about the trip:
> The view - it was quite beautiful
> The fact that it was simple - we really didn't want to do a dinner cruise or be out on a giant boat. All we wanted was to get out on the water and enjoy the view and this was absolutely perfect for that.
> Meeting new people - we had several good conversations with the people on the boat. I rather enjoyed this and it made the trip that much better.
> Sitting on the netting - it was really neat to watch the water through the netting (also comfortable to sit on)
Over all it was a very excellent experience and was exactly what we wanted. I would have been happy spending all day out on the boat. If I ever end back up in the area, I would use them again.

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The ship was bigger than I expected. Well, it was quite crowded. I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly. At times, it rocked quite a bit, and I thought I might get seasick if it lasted too long. The view from the sea, including Diamond Head, was wonderful.

It was my first time on a submarine, and I participated at the request of my grandson who is in his first year of university. There were many fish around the reef, and there were turtles as well. However, I was hoping to see more colorful fish. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take good photos underwater.

We used this for our honeymoon memories. We departed from Hilton Hawaiian Village and spent about two hours relaxing on the sea while enjoying the sunset. The time spent heading towards Diamond Head bathed in the sunset was particularly pleasant and enjoyable.
There were only my husband and I as the Japanese participants, but the crew was very considerate and kindly provided us with the onboard explanation in Japanese separately from the other participants.
Additionally, the boat was comfortable to ride on, and when it started to rain, we were able to take shelter under the roof, allowing us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Alcoholic drinks were free for up to two servings, and there was a wide variety available, along with potato chips and warm snacks.
The boat was larger compared to the number of participants, which allowed everyone to enjoy their own space. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii.
ハネムーンの思い出に利用しました。
ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ヴィレッジから出発し、サンセットを臨みながら2時間ほど海上でのんびり過ごしました。夕日を浴びるダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かう時間は、特に心地よく気持ちが良かったです。
参加者で日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、船員の方が気を利かせてくれ、他の参加者とは別に私たちだけに日本語で出発前の船内説明をして頂けて非常に親切でした。
また、船も乗り心地は快適で、途中雨が降ってきたときも屋根つきのためデッキからの非難ができ、最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
アルコール類も2杯までは無料で種類も豊富、ポテトチップスやあたたかい小料理もありました。
参加人数に比べ大き目の船でしたので、それぞれが思い思いの場所で過ごせるのもいい点でした。ハワイに来た時には、また参加したいと思いました。

Every year I go to Hawaii, but this was my first time sailing off Waikiki. There were about 10 participants that day, and we were the only Japanese. The ride was comfortable without any nausea-inducing swaying. The view of Waikiki from the sea was exceptional. There were quite a few turtles at the snorkeling point, which was enjoyable. However, there were no life jackets, just a floating noodle. They provide snorkeling gear for free, so if you're anxious, it's better to bring your own. The other catamaran tour I considered had life jackets (I noticed since they were at the same point). Drinks and snacks are available for purchase, so I recommend bringing your own water. The staff only spoke English but were friendly and kind. Since it departs from Waikiki Beach, it's easy to join, so I recommend it.
毎年ハワイに行っていながら、初のワイキキ沖セーリング。当日の参加者は10人ほどで日本人は私たちだけ。酔うような揺れもなく快適。沖から見るワイキキの眺めは格別でした。シュノーケルポイントにはカメさんも結構いて楽しめます。ただ・・・ライフジャケット等はなく、英語で「ヌードル」という浮く棒のみ。シュノーケルは無料で貸してくれます。なので、不安な方は持参した方がよいかと。迷ったもう1つのカタマランツアーにはライフジャケットがありました(同じポイントでやっていたのでわかりました)。飲み物、スナックは有料なのでお水等持参がおすすめ。スタッフは英語のみですが感じよく親切。ワイキキビーチ発なので気軽に参加できるのでおすすめです。

I went surfing near Kapiolani Park in Waikiki. The instructor was a local, and he quickly remembered my face and name, giving necessary instructions in broken Japanese. Everyone else was a beginner, so the instructor was pushing the board for us when we were catching waves. I found it a bit lacking for my level. He also took pictures of me surfing, which I bought as a keepsake. It's a nice memento.

I was nervous participating alone without speaking English, but it was great to be in the same group as Japanese people. Once you get out to the sea, you end up being alone anyway, so I don't think there's any need to worry about participating solo. Riding the waves by yourself is difficult, but the staff pushes you at just the right moment, making it easy to catch the waves. However, as a beginner, the board was really big, and paddling was very challenging.
英語も話せずのひとり参加したのでドキドキでしたが、日本の方と同じグループだったので良かったです。海に出ると結局は一人になるので、ひとり参加でも不安になることは無いと思います。自分で波に乗るのは難しいですが、スタッフがちょうど良いタイミングで押してくれるので簡単に波に乗ることが出来ました。ただ、初心者だったのでボードがすごく大きくパドルで進むのがとっても大変でした。

I board the cruise every time to enjoy the last sunset in Hawaii.
Usually, the calm waters of Waikiki are a delight, but this time the waves and wind were unusually strong, causing the boat to sway a bit. However, it was still an enjoyable cruise.
There were many people surfing off Waikiki, riding the big waves that reminded me of the North Shore. I also had plenty of Mai Tais.
The sunset was more beautiful than usual, and I was able to see various rays of sunlight. Although it wasn't a green flash, it was stunning enough to be etched in my memory.
Every time, I whisper to myself that I will come back to see it again, and I enjoyed the last sunset in Hawaii. The cruise staff was wonderful too! I will definitely use this service again.

We were the only Japanese people. When we arrived at the location, the small boat was completely different from what I had imagined. And there was a restaurant that looked like a ruin right next to it. At first, I felt really anxious. Is this okay? Is this the right place? But after completing the procedures, it seemed to be correct. Despite my worries, we started!!
The boat allowed us to feel the waves and wind, which was really pleasant! Since there were no other Japanese people, it really felt like we were overseas! It was a fun experience that you definitely can't have on a two or three-story boat. It was like an adventure! We were also able to see the fireworks clearly, which made me very satisfied. It was an incredibly casual night cruise with a great sense of openness. I'm very satisfied!
