I had a great time on the boat with juice and snacks. Although there were no sea turtles, I enjoyed looking at the islands from the boat and taking photos, which is a unique way to spend time on a boat. Due to my mistake, I only had a $20 bill on me, so for reference, I recommend bringing a few $1 bills for tips if you're going.
ジュースとスナックありで楽しく船の時間を満喫。海亀やらは居なかったけれど船から島を眺めたり写真を撮ってもらったりと船ならではの過ごし方が出来ます。私の失敗で手持ちまさかの20ドル紙幣の持ち合わせしかなく、、参考のため、行く方はチップ代として1ドル紙幣を何枚か持っていく事をオススメします。

We had a really great time. From our bus host to the main event. Cousin Tao was our bus host and she made the 45 minute bus ride fly by. She educated us on the culture the tattoos and made us laugh. She talked about pearl harbour, the climate of the island, as well as some of her native language.
We enjoyed the food. The pork was flavorful, chicken was good. Like anyone, I stayed away from what I knew I wouldn't like. Drinks were ok, but we aren't big drinkers to begin with. The main show amazing. Chief was very entertaining. The dancers were authentic. They tell a story and explain each islands culture, while entertaining you. The finale was great with multiple fire knife world champions. I highly recommend this luau! Yeah it's not on the beach, but so what! I learned about the culture, and had great food.
Also at the end of the night we ended up with two drunk strays. Cousin Tao, even though she didn't have to. She could've just said sorry you aren't on the roster and made them get off the bus. She
Called her boss, asked him to come back to bring them back to Waikiki. I thought that was super nice of her. If you want a genuine luau experience go to Chiefs luau.

Our arranged bus was 20 min late, but part of the blame was a nearby hit and run (so traffic staggered around the police and paramedics). This caused us to miss most of the pre-show. Can't really fault anyone for that - just wished we had experienced it.
They no longer separate parties by table, so no more actual COVID separation (on paper/signs, they ask people to wear masks when away from their tables, but hardly anyone did so and no one enforced it).
Food was great. Buffet style, both sides of 2 rows of tables. Pick what you want, go back as much as you want. Lines were quick.
Performance was awesome. I wasn't aware that they had world champion fire dancers in the troupe. I personally loved the stories and explanations of each dance.

The sunset cruise was larger than I expected. I chose the three-star option, and it was packed with volume. The lobster was particularly large, with a firm texture, and it was very delicious.
Since I added a commemorative option, there were arrangements for photos, cake, and champagne. However, the photos were taken right after boarding the ship, so the background was land. I wish we could have taken some pictures in a nicer location on the water.
The cake was not what I expected; it was a large whole cake, so it felt more like something to take home rather than to eat on the spot. I ended up having to eat it for breakfast over the next couple of days, so it might not have been necessary.
One reason I added the option was to sit by the window, but there were people who sat by the window without the option, so it might not have been necessary after all.
Everyone was dressed very casually, so I think you don't need to worry about a dress code. The cruise had delicious food, and the singing and dancing were really great. At the end, everyone stood up and danced together, which was a lot of fun.
The price is a bit on the high side, but I’m glad I booked it. For those considering it for a honeymoon, you might not need to add the option. I definitely recommend the tour!
サンセットクルーズですが、船は思っていたよりも大きかったです。
3スターにしましたが、ボリューム満点で、なんと言ってもロブスターがとても大きく、プリプリの身でとても美味しかったです。
記念のオプションをつけたので、写真、ケーキ、シャンパンの用意がありましたが、写真は船に乗ってすぐ撮影されたため、背景が陸地でしたので、できればもう少し海上の素敵なロケーションでも撮影してもらえたらなと思いました。
ケーキは、思っていた感じではなく、大きなホールケーキでしたので、その場で食べるというよりは、持って帰る用という感じでした。笑
向こうで食べ切るために、2日ほど朝頑張って食べるという感じになったので、いらなかったかもしれません。笑
オプションをつけたのは窓側がいいからということもありましたが、つけていなくても窓側に座れていた方もいたので、特につけなくてもよかったかもと思います。
服装は、本当にラフな感じで皆さん参加されているので、ドレスコードは気にしなくて大丈夫だと思います。
クルーズは、お料理も美味しく、歌やダンスもとてもよかったです。最後にはみんなで立って一緒にダンスをしたり、大盛り上がりで楽しかったです。
お値段は少し高級ですが、申し込んでよかったと思います。
ハネムーンでご検討されている方でも、オプションは別につけなくてもいいかもです。ツアー自体はおすすめです!

My partner and I absolutely loved their sunset cruise! Their entire crew was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and fun. The day we boarded was just myself, my partner and another family of four, which made it a very relaxing and peaceful day experience. The music, food, and history was something we will never forget. Even though the water was calm that day, don’t forget dramamine if you get easily sea sick like myself! I felt so bad for probably looking so uncomfortable, because it’s absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We are so grateful for the chance to have been on board with them.

It's more like a rental shop provided at the meeting place rather than a tour image. The staff are all friendly and approachable!
Since we didn't plan to go into the ocean that day, we only used the bicycles. The bicycles have wider tires compared to those in Japan, and they move quite well with just a light push. The brakes have their quirks (laughs), so definitely experience them on-site.
For those planning to go snorkeling, Kailua Beach is nice, but it might be a bit challenging to go all the way to Lanikai.
Especially, managing your belongings might be difficult.
There are various shops to enjoy while exploring Kailua. A great souvenir for women is Kanikai Bath & Body!
Also, there are a lot of wild birds. Additionally, since the tour time can be quite long, if you're confident in your stamina, I recommend climbing up to the Pillbox.
Regarding lunch, you can choose from three options, and we went with the BBQ plate and pizza. As mentioned in the comments, the pizza is different from what you find in Japan; it's oily, and the crust is thick yet crispy and delicious.
The BBQ plate is also tasty, but the eating area might be a bit questionable in terms of hygiene. The area in front of the pizza shop was clean! Since you're overseas, it's probably best not to worry too much about it!
ツアーのイメージではなく、集合場所のお店の提供されている貸出店舗という感じです。
スタッフさんは、みなさんフレンドリーで親しみやすいですよ!
私達は当日は海に入る予定がなかったため自転車のみ利用でした。
自転車は、日本と違いタイヤの幅も大きく軽く漕げば結構すすみます。
ブレーキは一癖あり(笑)是非現地で体験してください。
シュノーケリングされる予定の方はカイルアビーチは良いですが、ラニカイまでいくとなるとちょっと大変かも。
特に、荷物管理が難しいかもしれませんね。
カイルア散策ではいろいろなお店もあり楽しめますよ。
女性向けのお土産で良かったのはKanikai Bath&Bodyです!
あととにかく、野鳥が多いです。
またツアー時間が結構長くとれるので、体力に自信がある方はピルボックスの方まで登るのはおすすめです。
ランチについては、3種類から選べるのですが、
私達はBBQプレートとピザにしました。コメントのあるようにピザは日本のとはちがいオイリーで生地はふといのにサクサクでうまいです。
BBQプレートも美味しいのですが、食べる場所はちょっと衛生的に微妙かも。ピザ屋さんの前は綺麗でした!
海外ですのであんまり気にしすぎないほうが良いですね!
Dear R&S,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour without a shuttle service after the pandemic. Hawaii is now starting to return to normal, and we have also begun offering free shuttle service from the Waikiki area.
We strongly recommend using bicycles for the Kailua Beach Plus option, so your choice was indeed the right one! When visiting Lanikai Beach, we think it's best to store your belongings in our lockers and go light. The view from the Pillbox is absolutely stunning!
When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit Kailua again. Our entire staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

In Honolulu, where the COVID-19 situation is improving, I felt there were still few Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, I participated alone this time. We moved towards Ko Olina and boarded a lovely boat from the harbor. Without any rocking, we encountered a pod of dolphins after about 20 minutes. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot and had an encounter with a sea turtle. After returning to the boat, I enjoyed some drinks and lunch, even though I was alone. A few people, including the captain, spoke Japanese, which was considerate for me as a solo traveler. Since there are few Japanese tourists, it might be understandable, but I think the fast-paced English explanations would be quite challenging without strong language skills. If possible, I would have appreciated it if printed translations of the explanations in Japanese were provided. Overall, it was a satisfying tour.
コロナが収まりつつあるホノルルは、まだ日本人が少ない印象でした。
それでも今回は一人で参加させていただきました。
コオリナ方面へ移動して、ハーバーから素敵な船に乗船してさど揺れることなく移動して約20分でイルカの群れに遭遇しました。
それからシュノーケリングのポイントに移動してウミガメとの遭遇。
船に戻って一人でしたがお酒やランチで堪能しました。
船長をはじめ数人が日本語を話せたので一人旅の私に気遣っていただきました。
日本人が少ないので仕方ないかもしれませんが、早口の英語の説明はよほどの語学力がないと厳しいと思います。
可能であれば、説明の内容を日本語の和訳でプリントしたものを配布していただけるとありがたかったと思いました。
トータル的には満足したツアーでした。
