Me and my husband thought about going to hawaii for our first wedding anniversary. I did our itinerary for hawaii and I am so glad that I purchased this! I got seasick cause im not used to cruising but overall it was very worth it purchasing this. My husband and i really had fun. They played music and sells alcoholic or non alcoholic drink which it made more cooler, they'll take you in the middle of the ocean and show you a very nice view of waikiki, you can see the fishes. it was very scenic!!!!! the staffs are really friendly, they'll give you instructions about what to do and what not to do. Make sure you follow 'em. I will surely try this again for our next visit to honolulu!! PS: bring your sunscreen!! :-)

The dolphin tour we initially planned was suddenly canceled three days before departure, so I quickly searched online and found this tour. There were similar sailing options, but since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, we decided on this tour. I felt reassured that VELTRA confirmed the reservation at the time of booking.
On the day of the tour, it rained in the morning... I thought it might get canceled, but by the afternoon, the rain cleared, and we departed from the beach as scheduled! Once we were out at sea, we set the sails and let the wind and waves guide us... At this point, the refreshing feeling was indescribable! The view from the sea of Waikiki and Diamond Head was also amazing. There was only one other family besides us participating, so we were able to take our time taking photos and videos on board. The taste of beer on the water was the best.
The captain and staff were very friendly, and they provided explanations in Japanese on board.
We thoroughly enjoyed the one-hour sailing. We didn't see any dolphins, but we were very satisfied. (o^-^o)
当初予定していたドルフィンツアーが出発3日前に突然の中止になり 急遽ネット検索し、このツアーにたどり着きました。同じ様なセーリングもあったのですが ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたのでこのツアーに決めました。VELTRAは申し込と同時に予約確定か否かが分かるので安心しました。
当日は朝から雨・・これはcancelになるかと思いきや午後には雨も上り予定通りビーチから出発❗沖に出ると帆を張り風任せ 波任せ・・ここまでくると何とも言えない爽快感デス❗海から見るワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド迄の景色も素晴らしかった。参加者は私達の他にファミリーが1組のみ・・船上ではゆったり写真や動画を撮る事が出来ました。海上でのビールの味も最高
キャプテンを始めstaffはとてもフレンドリー 船上では 日本語で説明してくれます。
1時間のセーリングを満喫しました。イルカは見られなかったけど大満足しました。(o^-^o)

I was a bit anxious because the explanation was only in English, and there were few Japanese participants, but I wanted to experience the sunset cruise on a catamaran that you can't enjoy on a large dinner cruise, so I joined! Along with the lively crew and other passengers, I enjoyed cocktails while taking in the beautiful sea! I was able to spend a wonderful time in Hawaii, admiring the luxurious views from blue to sunset and then to the night scenery! Actually, we were also visiting Waikiki for our son's wedding, and on that day, there was a newlywed couple from abroad on board as well, which added to the happy atmosphere and made it the best moment!
説明が英語のみということで、日本人の参加は少なく、不安でしたが、大きなディナークルーズでは味わえないカタマランのサンセットクルーズに乗りたかったので参加!
ノリノリのクルーと乗船客に交じって、カクテルを飲みながら、美しい海を満喫しました!青から、夕陽、そして夜景と贅沢な景色を眺めながら、ハワイの素敵な時間を過ごすことができました!実は私たちも息子の結婚式でワイキキを訪れていたのですが、ちょうどこの日は外国人の新婚カップルも同乗してて、幸せ気分もいただいて最高のひと時でした!

I was worried about the rocking since it was a yacht, but the weather was very calm that day, and the pregnant woman who joined us was able to board safely. The staff were kind, taking photos for us and interacting with other guests, making it a fun time. We also got to see a beautiful sunset, and we were able to see Diamond Head up close, which made me very satisfied!

The sunset, which allows you to enjoy the changing colors of the sky, was very beautiful, and seeing Waikiki from the sea was refreshing. The sunset cruise offers both the daytime scenery and the sparkling night view. There was little rocking of the boat, so even I, who am sensitive to motion, was able to enjoy it comfortably. In addition to unlimited Mai Tais, there was also champagne available!
空の色の変化を楽しめるサンセットもとてもキレイでしたが、海から見るワイキキも新鮮でした。サンセットクルーズは昼間の景色とキラキラ夜景の両方が漫喫出来ます。船の揺れも少なく、船に弱い私も快適に楽しめました♪マイタイ飲み放題の他にもシャンパンもありましたよ♪

I boarded with my aunts who are nearly 80 years old. I was worried about whether it would be okay for seniors, so I hesitated to sign up, but there was no severe rocking, and it was a relaxed cruise. The view of Honolulu from the sea was refreshing, and the breeze felt nice. I'm glad I went, but I really wish we could have gone a bit further out where dolphins might be.
80近い叔母たちと乗船しました。高齢者も大丈夫か不安で申し込みを迷ってましたが、激しい揺れもなく、ゆったりとしたクルーズでした。海からホノルルの景色が新鮮で風も気持ちよく、乗って良かったですが、もうちょっとほんとにイルカがいそうな沖まで行きたかったな。

We had a really nice time. Saw some sea turtles and some fish. Unfortunately it was windy and a boat of scuba divers scared off the fish and turtles or should I say made it hard to keep up with them. The crew was completely awesome. The sail to the other side of Diamond Head was amazing. We had a really good time.

I couldn't see sea turtles on the tour, but I was very satisfied to see many here. If you can swim, please consider renting or bringing your own fins. It seems to be a diving spot, and if you can dive to about 5 to 6 meters, you can see a variety of colorful fish. The area near the surface is full of black fish, so if you're confident in your swimming, give it a try. The staff was friendly, which was great.
海亀を見るツアーで見れなかったのですが、こちらで、いっぱい見れて大満足です。泳げる方は、是非フィンをレンタルもしくは、持参して下さい。ダイビングスポットらしく、5〜6m潜れれば、色とりどりの魚が見れます。海面付近は黒い魚だらけなので、泳ぎに自信のある人はチャレンジしてみて下さい。スタッフもフレンドリーな感じで良かったです。

The submarine experience was nice. The inside of the sub was cool and comfortable. The only downside was that I was expecting to see the ocean floor teeming with fishes and corals which was not the case. Instead there were deliberately sunken ships and airplane ruins that served as artificial reefs or the ocean floor would have otherwise been bare. Didn't see any natural corals. But I guess it's not the fault of the tour though their ads were a bit overhyped and misleading with colourful fishes so you would tend to over expect. A fun and unique activity nevertheless for first timers!

I always wanted to check out the Turtle Canyon, and, on this particular trip, I was able to. My only complaint was that it was on the western edge of Waikiki Beach, which was somewhat inconvenient. In a perfect world, it would have been placed in the center of Waikiki's hotel row. I boarded the catamaran and was greeted by a very friendly and personable crew. Once on board, the staff gave us a safety briefing, then explained the protocol for snorkeling the area. Once we arrived at our destination, the captain dropped anchor and the group was off. It was not long before someone spotted some turtles. All of us watched in awe as we observed their underwater universe. We were in the water quite a while before the captain signaled us to come aboard. Then, we were treated to a magnificent sailing past Diamond Head and around Waikiki Beach. Between the snorkeling (an excellent exercise for me), the turtles and the sail, it was a perfect afternoon for me. I was back in time to go with my friend for evening entertainment. This is one of the top three activities you must do before you leave Hawaii. It is truly a magical day!

I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.

We went snorkeling as a family for the first time in Hawaii. Since the boat departs right in front of the hotel, you can easily enjoy it without having to go all the way to the North Shore. What surprised me was seeing a group of sea turtles swimming right in front of us. Even without snorkeling, the exhilarating feeling of sailing with the wind filling the sails was refreshing.
ハワイでは初めて家族でシュノーケリングしました。出船がホテルの目の前からなのでノースショアなどわざわざ行かなくてもお手軽に楽しめます。驚いたのは、ウミガメが目の前を群れなして泳ぐ姿が観れたこと。シュノーケリングしなくても帆に風をいっぱいに受けての疾走は爽快でした。

I booked three experiences this time, but this was the best one. I didn't expect to be so moved just by the beautiful sunset. The boat itself was filled with a happy atmosphere, and I'm glad I scheduled it for the last day of our trip. My one-year-old baby didn't quite understand, but my 65-year-old mother enjoyed it for 10 minutes. We just cruised while drinking unlimited alcohol from cups as the sun set. Everyone was moved and taking photos. There were no Japanese-speaking staff, only English, but we had a great time.
