This catamaran sail was great! The crew made us all feel comfortable and safe. Drinks were free and the MaiTais were very tasty. The Captain moored us in a great place to see the fireworks and then sailed towards Waikiki to see a beautiful moon rise. Great tour all the way around.

I participated in this plan at my child's request. I was worried about the weather, but we were blessed with good conditions, enjoying the blue sea and a wonderful location. I was concerned about whether we would encounter whales, but many whales greeted us. The lunch was also satisfying, served buffet-style, and it was delicious. Additionally, the staff's activities on board provided a fun time. This became a memorable page of our enjoyable experience in Hawaii. Thank you very much.
子供の要望でこのプランに参加しました。天候が心配されましたが天気に恵まれ、青い海とすばらしいロケーションでした。鯨の歓迎に出会えるか心配でしたが、たくさんの鯨たちが出迎えの挨拶をしてくれました。昼食も、バイキング方式で満足のいくものでした。おいしかったです。また、船内でのスタッフの催しも楽しいひと時でした。ハワイでの楽しい想い出の一ページとなりました。ありがとうございました。

This time, my husband couldn't join due to work, so I took our two sons by myself. It was my first time booking an optional tour online, and I was quite nervous, but I had no worries at all. Our guide was wonderful, and we truly had a fun day.
When I booked online, I was anxious because there was no phone number provided, but once I completed the reservation, I received a printed voucher via email that included the tour company's phone number, which made me feel secure about participating.
The guide shared a lot of valuable information, and there were many moments that made me think, "Oh, that's true!" We enjoyed the Dole Plantation and the popular Macky's shrimp, fully experiencing the local flavor of Hawaii.
During my previous two trips to Hawaii, I only visited Waikiki Beach and did some shopping, but there are so many attractions in other areas of Hawaii! Thank you, guide!
今回、主人は仕事で来られず、私が一人で息子2人を連れ、また、ネットからのオプショナルツアーが初めてで、ドキドキでしたが、何の心配もなく、素晴らしいガイドさんで、本当に楽しい一日を過ごさせていただきました。
(ネットで申し込みの際は、電話番号もなく、操作などに不安がありましたが、申し込みをすれば、印刷するバウチャーがメールで届き、そこに催行会社の電話番号も書いてあり安心して参加できました。)
ガイドさんのお話は、ためになることがいっぱいで、そうだなぁ!って気づかされることも沢山ありました。
ドールプランテーション、人気のマッキーズのシュリンプ・・・ハワイのローカルを満喫できました。
過去に来た2度のハワイの旅ではワイキキビーチとショッピングだけでしたが、他の地域にもハワイの魅力がいっぱいです!

For a land lubber prone to sea sickness, this is the only way I could see whales in the ocean. The Navetek ship is amazing for it's stability whether you need it to eliminate nausea, or you are a photographer requiring a steady perch for your telephoto lens.
On the day I went, late Feb, the whales were awesome. There were many families. Lots of breaching, tail displays and some sort of pod wrestling among males, that I had never known about. I dreamed of whales that night.

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I thought I couldn't miss this tour during this season, but the result far exceeded my expectations. To my surprise, dolphins lined up and swam alongside the boat, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly in the water. At the end, a whale even surfaced in the distance and spouted water! Super lucky! The guide who spoke Japanese was really enjoyable, and seeing Waikiki from the sea along with the sea breeze was the best.
初めてのハワイでしたがこの時期のこのツアーははずせないと思って参加しましたが結果はまさにはるかに期待を上回るのものでした。なんとイルカが列をなしてボートの横を泳ぎ、海中ではウミガメもしっかり見れて、最後にはなんとクジラさんが遠くに顔を出して潮をふいてくれました。超ラッキー!日本語のできるガイドさんは本当に楽しく海からみるワイキキも潮風も最高でした。

The submarine itself was battery-operated and hardly made any noise, but due to considerable waves, nearly half of the participants got seasick, and as a result, I also felt a bit unwell and couldn't fully enjoy the underwater experience. I found it a bit unkind that the information didn't mention seasickness much. I would like to try again when the waves are calmer. The transportation and boarding process were very easy to understand.
潜水艦自体はバッテリー駆動で殆ど音が気にならなっかたが、かなりの波浪で参加者の半数近くが船酔いになり、その影響で自分も少し気分が悪くなり、じっくり海中を楽しめなかった。案内には船酔いのことが余り触れて無かったのが少し不親切かな?もう一度波の穏やかな時再度チャレンジしたい。送迎,搭乗とうに関しては、とてもわかりやすかった。

On the day of the event, I was worried it might be canceled due to the strong winds, but the pickup car arrived on time, which was a relief. The driver was cheerful and spoke to us in a friendly manner, even though we didn't speak much English.
Regarding the photos, there was a clear explanation in English about the price ($30) and that they would be provided on an SD card. They only took pictures of the group that requested them, and it seems we checked the SD card and made the payment after returning to the port. We brought our own waterproof camera, so we didn't request their service.
By chance, we were with a pair of Japanese women, so we were lucky to be able to take turns holding each other's cameras while flying. The boat ride felt like a thrilling attraction at high speed, which was quite fun! The parasailing was also amazing! Additionally, I forgot to take motion sickness medication, but I didn't feel nauseous at all.
当日は風が強かったので中止にならないか不安でしたが、迎えの車が時間通りに来てくれてひと安心。

Went out on the whale watch tour today and we saw 4 whales - 2 large whales together at first and then a mother and calf. They popped up several times during the cruise and saw their tails in the air a few times. They also came quite close to the ship at times. Recommended to do a whale watching tour. Our naturalist onboard (Dez) was knowledgeable about whales and their migration patterns. There is some periods throughout the cruise where you just have to be patient for 10-15 minutes at a time until they pop back up or another whale is spotted but it's worth the wait. The tour felt a little short as I wanted to see more however it was probably the right amount of time. The whales even waved goodbye as we headed off.

We were looking for a tour to see the North Shore but have the freedom to do what we want to do....we couldn't have picked a better tour. This is the perfect tour for people looking for freedom to do/go where they want. We had Sam as our tour guide, a native from Hawaii. He was informative and very the perfect style of guide for this tour. Knew what he was talking about, laid back but still detail oriented enough to handle everyone's activities and where they were. We went there the day of the Volcom Pipe Pro at the Pipeline. We rented bikes at the North Shore Surf Shop (an included activity with the tour - no extra charge) and that allowed us to go freely around. We rode up to the surf competition to watch live. The nice part was with the bikes, you were stuck in one spot the whole time. Watched the competition, then rode down the coast to Sharks Cove and Waimea Bay. It was great to have no schedule or "planned activities" when we got there. We had 3 hours to do what we want. Some wanted nothing to do with the surf competition and they could do what they want. Everyone had their own agenda and this tour worked great with it. (For a quick bite to eat, hit up Pupukea Grill. Its a food truck in Sharks Cove with a heavenly flatbread.) Met back next to Sharks Cove for the bus and rode to Haleiwa for the afternoon. Again, free time through the town to experience the city itself or do water activities at Surf N Sea. We wanted to experience the town, so we went into the surf shops, stores and walked around the town itself. (For a great sandwich, hit up Waialua Bakery and Juice Bar next to the grocery store...phenomenal.) For being a smaller town, Haleiwa is a very cool town to experience. After the town, we were to a beach to view the sea turtles that come on shore. It was amazing to see the turtles that close.

It was a large family with three generations, but surprisingly, everyone enjoyed it across the generations. The 6-year-old who said it was scary and the grandmother who was hesitant were both excited after the experience.
We scheduled it for our first day in Hawaii, and it was suitable because it wasn't too strenuous after the flight, yet it was stimulating and didn't take too much time.

Of course, the main focus is horseback riding, but we really do a lot of different activities. It's packed with experiences. We visited the Hitachi Tree, Dole Plantation, saw the honu at North Shore, enjoyed lunch (everyone's favorite, garlic shrimp♪), and then horseback riding. To top it off, our guide kindly recommended a coffee shop!
We were blessed with wonderful weather that day, making it truly a fantastic day.
I am really a beginner at horseback riding; the only experience I have is riding a pony for about five minutes when I was a child. Despite that, this time I suddenly found myself riding a polo horse! Moreover, Happy Trails is a prestigious ranch that even President Obama has visited! It made me think, "Maybe the horse I rode was the same one President Obama rode!" (It was a small mare, so it definitely wasn't, but it made me smile.)
I asked a Japanese couple who joined the same tour (they were quite experienced in horseback riding) and they said, "It's rare to ride a polo horse in Japan, so you can brag about this!" It was truly a valuable experience.
However! As a complete beginner, we started riding for an hour and a half with only verbal instructions! Plus, the path was muddy from the rain the day before... I really thought I might fall off! My friend and I were super nervous, but the polo horses were amazing, following our clumsy commands perfectly for the full hour and a half. Thank you, horses.
The staff at the ranch were also really friendly and it was a lot of fun. Next time, I'm interested in beach horseback riding, but I can't help but think that Happy Trails is still the best!
もちろんメインは乗馬ですが、本当に色々回ります。盛りだくさんです。

この日は、お天気にも恵まれ本当に素晴らしい1日でした。
乗馬は本当に初心者、子供の時に一度ポニーに5分くらい乗ったことぐらいしかありません。
それなのに、今回はいきなりポロの馬を乗ることに!その上、ハッピートレイルはなんとあのオバマ大統領も来たことがあるという由諸正しい牧場!もしかしたら、私の乗った馬がオバマ大統領の乗った馬かも!!!(小さい牝馬だったので、絶対に違うけど)と思わせてくれます。笑
同じツアーに参加された日本人の御夫婦(こちらの方は乗馬に精通していらっしゃいました)に伺ったところ、「日本でポロの馬に乗れることなど滅多にないから自慢できるよ!」のことで本当に貴重な体験でした。
が!まったくの初心者なのに口頭での説明のみで、いきなり1時間半の乗馬スタート!笑
その上、前日の雨で道はぐちゃぐちゃ・・・落馬するんじゃないか?!と本当に思いました。
私も友人もめっちゃくちゃ焦りましたが、さすがポロのお馬さん、私達のつたない指示にもきちんと従い、1時間半きっちり乗せてくれました。ありがとう、お馬さん。
牧場の方も本当にフレンドリーで楽しかったです。

We boarded in the evening on the day of arrival. I was fine, but my wife was a bit off due to jet lag, so it seemed to be a little tough for her. I was lying down on the internet, enjoying the quiet time. There were only two of us Japanese, and about 15 Westerners, so I could really feel the overseas atmosphere. It might be better to speak a little English. However, I personally liked the slow flow of time and the atmosphere without Japanese people. It might be better to avoid the day of arrival...

It was a calm and sunny day, with little movement on the water. Shortly after departure, within just five minutes, we encountered a mother and baby whale, and they swam alongside us for two hours. It seems that the law prohibits getting closer than 100 meters, so I couldn't take the photos I wanted with my iPhone lens. I recommend bringing a professional camera if you have one. If you have binoculars, you'll be able to see them in even more impressive detail.
穏やかに晴れた日で、揺れも少なかったです。
出港後、5分もしないうちに鯨の親子と遭遇、以降並走するように2時間ずっと一緒でした。

I saw the reviews and brought a fleece jacket just in case, but it wasn't necessary.
The weather was really nice, and the sunset was perfect!!
However, the small boat swayed a lot.
I got seasick and regretted not bringing motion sickness medication.
I had never gotten motion sickness on any vehicle before, so I let my guard down.
When getting on and off, my knees got a little wet.
Depending on the waves, I got soaked up to my waist.
I participated with my 4-year-old son, but there was no requirement for children to wear life jackets.
I got seasick, but I was able to see the sunset beautifully, so I was very satisfied!
By the way, before boarding, they took a photo of the boat with Diamond Head in the background, which you can buy for $15 on the way back.
The photo turned out really nice, so I purchased it♪
Also, the captain was a really cool guy, and all the announcements were in English.
He spoke quickly, and I didn't understand half of what he was saying (^_^;)

This was so much fun. Much more intimate than originally expected. About 16 people were on the sail (3 of them were staff). The staff was super nice and informative. Fireworks were fun to watch. The view of the city lights was amazing. The bar is a cash only bar. This was well worth the money. We had a great time and consider this a must do.

Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. During this time of year, it often rains and the weather can be less than ideal, but I’m relieved that you were blessed with good weather. I’m very happy to hear that you and your children enjoyed the experience. We all look forward to welcoming you back on board when you visit Hawaii again.
MAHALO!!
