The sunset cruise on the yacht was absolutely beautiful!
About 30% of the guests were Japanese, and there were no explanations in Japanese, so it might not be suitable for those who are anxious without Japanese language support. I was amazed by how much the guests from other countries enjoyed their drinks! That was fun too.
However, the yacht does sway quite a bit, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness. I saw reviews saying it wasn't too rocky, so I thought, "Maybe I'll be okay?" and took some motion sickness medication before participating, but for me, the swaying was significant, and I ended up feeling very seasick. However, I was the only one who got seasick, so I think those who don't worry too much about it can enjoy themselves thoroughly!!!
ヨットでのサンセットクルーズとってもきれいでした!
日本人のお客さんは全体の3割程度で日本語での説明もないので、日本語じゃないと不安な方にはむいてないかもしれません。他の国の方々のお酒の飲みっぷりにおどろかされました!それも楽しかったです。
ただ、わりとヨットが揺れるので船酔いしがちな方にはおすすめしません。あまり揺れないというレビューを見て「これなら大丈夫かな?」と思い酔い止めを飲んで参加したんですが、私にとっては揺れが大きく結局ひどい船酔いになってしましました。でも、船酔いになっていたのは私だけだったので、そんなに心配のない方は十分楽しめると思います!!!

Perhaps the season has come to an end. I was on the boat for about an hour, but that was all. I also couldn't receive the reboarding ticket. Since it is valid only during the same season, I wouldn't have been able to use it anyway... In any case, I didn't do enough research on my part.
おそらくシーズンは終わってしまったのかもしれませんね。
1時間ほど船に揺られたということでそれ以上にはなりませんでした。

About 80% of the guests were from English-speaking countries (there were 6 Japanese people), and the captain and bartender on board were also American. All announcements were in English, but since the explanations for drinks and life jackets were simple, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Personally, I preferred this place over one filled with only Asians. I made friends with other American passengers and had a great time. By the way, drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there was sparkling wine available. My recommendation is the Mai Tai!
利用客の8割型が英語圏の方(日本人は6人)で、クルーとして乗っている船長、バーテンもアメリカ人でした。全てのアナウンスメントが英語ですが、飲み物の説明や救命胴衣の説明などシンプルなものなので、あまり困らないでしょう。
個人的には、アジア人ばかりの場所よりもこちらが好きでした。他のアメリカ人の乗客とも仲良くなり非常にたのしかったです(^^)
ちなみにドリンクは飲み放題でスパークリングワインもありました。イチオシはマイタイです^^

I was looking forward to the cruise, but unfortunately, no whales appeared. We participated in the morning cruise, but I later heard from locals that there is a relatively better chance of seeing them in the afternoon. Since our travel schedule was tight, we didn't need tickets for a re-boarding. The breakfast before departure was delicious.

Understanding the boats cannot come closer than 100 yards, outs seemed to stay 200-300 yards away. Unless you have a telephoto lens, just use your eyes and retain the memory because any other camera, including phones and GoPros, will just show the whales as a small blip.

My parents in their 70s participated (I had to act separately because I have children). The weather was nice, and it seems they had a wonderful cruise. They were able to see plenty of whales and got a close view of Diamond Head.
Since it's an early morning tour, it can be tough, but you can make good use of the afternoon, so I recommend the morning tour. Even my parents, who are in their 70s and have no English skills at all, enjoyed participating. If you're considering optional tours for a three-generation trip, definitely think about this tour. It will surely create wonderful memories.

クジラも十分に見ることができ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも間近に見れたそうです。

The seats you are guided to when you board the ship are just for the initial explanation, so don't worry if your seat doesn't have a view of the sea. After the explanation, you can freely go out to the deck. Since the wind can be cold, I recommend bringing something to wear. I was able to see the whales jumping clearly. I also saw swimming sea turtles. Everything was explained in English.

Every time I go to Hawaii, I participate, and this was my fifth time. As soon as I board, I really feel like I've arrived in Hawaii. This time, the departure was at 11 AM, and the weather was nice, making for a pleasant cruise. The ship was about 70-80% full, and we were the only Japanese guests; there was one group from Korea and the rest were groups from Europe and America. The evening cruises are beautiful when you can see the sunset, but since drinks are all-you-can-drink, it can get a bit too noisy. The daytime cruises are more relaxing. Of course, I will participate again next time.
ハワイに行くたびに参加して、もう5回以上になりますが、乗るとハワイに来たことを実感します。今回は、11時発でしたが、天気も良く気持ちのいいクルージングでした。7~8割ぐらいの乗船率で、日本人は珍しく我々だけ、あとは韓国人グループが1組で、他は欧米人のグループでした。夕方からのクルーズも夕日が見えるときれいなのですが、飲み放題なので、騒がしすぎるという一面もあります。昼の方がゆったりできます。次も、当然参加します。

It was great to see the humpback whales swimming right in front of us multiple times and to witness them spouting water. My children and my mother-in-law were also delighted.
Since it was a live event, I was worried about various risks such as weather and the possibility of not seeing the animals, but everything turned out perfectly. Additionally, making leis at the craft event, where the whole family created the same lei to take home, became a wonderful memory.
Next time, I would like to come with my own parents.

I was a bit worried about taking my 83-year-old sister-in-law on the cruise, but it was really enjoyable. The night view of Waikiki, the fireworks, and the sailing were all very pleasant. While some other catamarans weren't sailing, the captain was great, and I was truly satisfied. When boarding, your feet can get wet, so it might be helpful to bring a towel and find a way to warm your feet. My sister-in-law put her feet in a plastic bag.

I didn't know that winter whales come around the Big Island until I went there. I really wanted to see them, so I quickly signed up for a tour after arriving and participated with my family. I had two concerns: getting to the boarding area from the hotel and seasickness, but thanks to this tour, I managed to get through it safely. When traveling to an unfamiliar destination, even if you know the port's name, you can be troubled by not knowing the distance from the hotel or the means of transportation, but it was a great decision to have them pick us up at the hotel! Additionally, the boat was luxurious and hardly swayed, so I didn't experience the seasickness I was worried about. On top of that, I was able to see dolphins and whales, which was wonderful!
