You can enjoy Diamond Head and the deep blue sea with a different atmosphere than usual. However, those who are prone to seasickness definitely need to bring motion sickness medication.

Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper

This was my first massage abroad. I thought it might be a bit expensive, but since the hotel I was staying at was Hilton, I chose this place for its convenience. The room had a luxurious feel, it was calm, and I was able to relax very much. The massage was performed by a young white girl, and she was very skilled. I was tired from my arrival day and almost fell asleep several times, but I managed to stay awake. My daughter was with me, and she said she definitely wants to come back again.

We cruised until we reached the point where we boarded the submarine! The inside of the submarine was a bit cramped, and the windows were smaller than I expected, but I got to see the wreckage of a Japanese airplane that sank long ago and also spotted some sea turtles, experiencing something out of the ordinary.

I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with my mother and aunt. Since it was my first time riding a boat in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement, but perhaps I was a bit too optimistic, as it turned out to be somewhat disappointing... All I saw were the spouts and part of the tail of a whale. However, the crew did their best to follow the whales and keep the guests entertained, which I appreciated. Since we are dealing with wild animals, it's really a matter of luck.

The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.
It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.
While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.
However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...
とても綺麗な夕日、ワイキキの夜景、花火でした。
日本人以外の方が多く(日本人:日本人以外=1:4ぐらい)、交流ができてよかったです。(ハワイはどこに行っても日本人だらけなので新鮮でした笑)

This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

I used the service with my two sons, who are in their late teens. Since we received massages in the same room, I felt a bit shy as the mother, but the atmosphere of the shop was luxurious, and I was satisfied with both the staff's service and their skills, allowing me to relax.
Also, I realized the day before that I didn't have the coupon for Mandara Spa, which caused a panic on-site. However, a representative from Alan1, who heard that we didn't have the coupon, helped us secure our spa treatments at Mandara Spa and even faxed the coupon to our hotel. Thanks to them, all three of us were able to enjoy the spa services without any issues. It was truly reassuring to feel safe amidst the panic so far away from Japan in Hawaii. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude. Thank you very much.
This was our Hawaii trip, but in the future, if I look for optional tours while traveling somewhere, I definitely want to use Alan1's services, which provide solid support even during troubles, despite being low-cost optional tours. I am truly grateful.
This trip has added another cherished memory with my children.

As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!

My mom has never gone sailing before, so what an absolute treat this was to bring her on a Sunset Sail with me and my daughter. We enjoyed every single minute of it. It wasn't one of those Booze Cruises where everyone is loud and getting their fill of free booze, this one I was able to relax with my daughter, enjoy a drink and watch the sunset.
The crew mates were so friendly, drinks were top notch, and the Spirit of Aloha is in great shape to handle the open sea!
I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good and simple sunset cocktail sail!

Dove on "Sea Tiger" wreck ... awesome dive to deck level at 100' and then to Horseshoe Reef ... Saw a Dragon Eel there ... very rare and very cool. Don't know how Marco found it buried in a coral hole but he did and made sure we all got a look.

I participated with my 18-year-old daughter. We had a blast together!
Since I have a fear of heights, we chose the lowest option, but when we actually jumped, it didn't feel that high because the ocean was below us. However, the boats looked small, so it must have been quite a height.
The beautiful blue ocean surrounded us in a 360-degree panorama, and beyond that, we could see the streets of Waikiki. It was amazing!
Out of six groups, only two were Japanese, and we were able to take pictures together, which was great. We met a couple, Mr. O and his wife, for the first time on this tour, but later we coincidentally ran into them twice in Waikiki. The second time was at the hotel laundry. It was exciting to experience such coincidences because we participated in this tour.
There were various encounters, and it was a lot of fun!
18歳の娘とい一緒に参加しました。ふたりで大はしゃぎ♪
高所恐怖症なので、一番低いのにしましたが、実際飛んでみると、下が海なのでそれほど高いとも感じず、でも、ボートが小さく見えるので、かなりの高さだったんでしょうね。
きれいな青い海が一面、360度パノラマ状態で、その向こうにワイキキの街並みが見えて、最高☆
6組のうち2組だけが日本人で、写真を取り合いでき、良かったです。そのOさんご夫婦とは、このツアーではじめてお会いしたのですが、その後、ワイキキで二回も偶然お会いしました。二回目は、ホテルのランドリー。そんな偶然に興奮することができたのも、このツアーに参加したから。
いろんな出会いがあり、楽しいですよ♪

Diving into the sea in a submarine is something that rarely happens, so I had a very valuable experience.
Inside the submarine, we couldn't leave our seats, so it was disappointing that I couldn't see the shark that was apparently visible from the opposite window. However, the submarine rotated to allow us to see five different points from both windows, so I was able to enjoy watching sleeping sea turtles and beautiful fish swimming around the reefs.
The commentary on board was aimed at children, but I think it was enjoyable enough for adults as well. The relationship between sunlight underwater and the colors of the coral was very interesting.
After disembarking, I heard that we could see dolphins from the boat returning to the pier, but during the transition between trips, the boat rocked due to strong winds, and I got seasick, so I couldn't see them (TT).

I have been on similar fishing trips in the past. As far as fishing goes, this was the biggest disappointment of all of them.
The fishing gear was not adequate for the fish in the area. Throughout the trip rigs were being lost to fish with sharp teeth. I personally lost one rig and my partner lost two, and it was definitely a fish, not coral. The captain and mate spent a large amount of time replacing rigs.
Over the course of four hours the entire boat caught about eight triggerfish, which all had to be thrown back. Not a single keeper was caught. A majority of the boat, including myself and my partner, never hooked a thing except for whatever stole our rigs. I believe a lot more fish could be caught if appropriate tackle was used.
The sunset and the view of Honolulu were the bright spots in the evening. The boat also got a great view of Diamondhead.
I will never being doing the fishing trips again, but a sunset dinner cruise might be worth it.

Sailing off Waikiki at an incredible speed was refreshing! It was also great to enjoy snorkeling.
I was told, "The turtles are used to people and won't be scared to come close, but don't touch them," but I never expected they would come so close... There were always 3 to 4 turtles swimming nearby, and when they surfaced for air, they were so close that I could almost touch them—they're really big.
The sailing speed was fast, and it was quite bumpy, but as long as I looked out at the distance and enjoyed the wind, it was fine. I'm glad I chose one that fit my needs among the various catamaran sailing options. There were no other Japanese people, but I didn't feel particularly worried about that.

『カメは人になれてて怖がらないで近くにくるけど触っちゃダメ』と言ってたけど、あんなに近づいてくるとは思わなかった・・・。3~4匹のカメが常に近くをまわってたし、息継ぎに浮き上がってくると触れるくらい近くとにかくデカイ。
