Oahu
We boarded the boat and first headed a little offshore for some snorkeling. It’s not too far from the shore, but surprisingly there is quite a current and depth. That said, life vests are provided, so there’s no need to worry. We were able to swim while watching sea turtles and small fish.
During the sailing afterward, we got to see dolphins up close. However, the wind was strong offshore, which made the boat quite rocky. Additionally, being wet and exposed to the wind made it feel much colder, even though the sun was strong. I think motion sickness medication and a jacket are essential.
船に乗り込んでまずは少し沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリングです。岸からそこまで離れていないのですが意外に流れと深さがあります。とはいえライフベストが配られるので心配ありません。ウミガメや小さな魚を見ながら泳ぐことができました。
その後のセーリングではイルカを間近で見ることができました。ただし風が沖では強かったこともあってかなり揺れました。また濡れたまま風にあたるので日差しは強かったのにかなり冷えました。酔い止めと上着は必須だと思います。

Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!
Liz was great. She and the other staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. She gave us a couple of nice dives....we didn't have to do a thing, the crew took care of all the hard work of loading tanks and equipment, so just got to have fun. 10 out 10 would do again!
We had a great time on the Sunset Cruise, the staff were great, sunset didn’t disappoint!!
I bought the tickets as a surprise for my husband’s 60th in Hawaii, and we both had a ball! Watch those Maitais though, as they warned us, they really do creep up on you...
Such an awesome trip- got to see 3 sea turtles right off the bat. Great staff, very friendly and they go out of their way to make this experience as best they can!
I have used Sunset Sailing several times, but during busy times, I have often found it sold out after arriving on-site. This year, I took advantage of the option to make a reservation in advance. The sea changed to a deep blue, and I enjoyed views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the water. With cheerful music playing and unlimited drinks like my favorite Mai Tai, the weather was great, and I was able to see the sunset perfectly. It was absolutely wonderful! My grandchild, who experienced this for the first time, was also thrilled!
サンセットセーリングは何度か利用したことがありましたが、混雑時期のこの時間帯は現地入りしてからではsold outということが何度かあり、今年は事前に予約できるこちらを利用させてもらいました。深いブルーに変化する海、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチ、陽気な音楽を聴きながら大好きなマイタイ等のドリンク飲み放題、天気も良かったのでサンセットもバッチリ見ることが出来、とにかく最高でした。初体験の孫も大喜びでした!

Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!
We attended with seven family members in the Diamond Seat. The price is high, but the major benefits are being able to watch the show from the front row and having priority access to the buffet. The buffet had a long line, possibly due to the Golden Week crowds, and it was disappointing to be cut in line by those who didn't have priority. The drink bar also had a Japanese menu available. Additionally, they take a photo of you at the beginning, and later a staff member comes around selling the framed photo for $50, which is amusing. After the show, the performers allow you to take pictures in the hallway, so that was satisfying.
家族7人で、ダイヤモンドシートで参加しました。
価格は高いですが大きいメリットは、最前列でショーを観れる・ビュッフェが最優先で並べるの2点です。ビュッフェはGWの混雑のせいか長蛇の列で、優先ではない方に割込みされ残念でした。
ドリンクバーは日本語メニューもありました。
また、最初に写真撮られ、後でまわってくるスタッフさんが写真たて付き50ドルで売りに来ます笑
ショーの後、出演者の方が廊下で写真を撮らせてくれるのでそれで満足でした。

There is a live band and hula dancing, and the guests also participate and dance together. I am close with the band members, and they always accommodate my requests. It's fun, and I always look forward to it.
生バンドとフラダンスもあり、お客も一緒に参加して踊っています、私はバンドのメンバーとも親しく、いつもリクエストに応じてくえます、楽しいです、

For the past few decades, I have stayed at Sheraton Waikiki every year, and I finally decided to participate this year, which I had been curious about for a long time. I regret not joining sooner and want to participate every time I visit from now on. First of all, the captain was handsome, cheerful, and fun. It was great to be able to drink alcohol, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Most of all, I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles. It was a lot of fun.
ここ数十年、毎年シェラトンワイキキに宿泊してますが、毎回気になってたので今年思い切って参加してみました、もっと早く参加すればよかったと後悔しました、これからは行くたびに参加したいです。まずはキャプテンがイケメンで陽気で楽しかった、お酒が飲めてよかった、海からのワイキキの景色やダイヤモンドヘッドが見れてよかった、何より野生のイルカちゃんとカメちゃんに会えた事です、楽しかった。

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sunset because it was cloudy, but I was able to see it just before leaving! Just like last time, the Mai Tai was delicious, and the snacks that were handed out tasted surprisingly good, perhaps because we were on the boat. There were many Westerners, but there were also Japanese people, and we were able to take pictures with each other's families and enjoy our time together.
曇りで夕日が見れるか心配でしたが、帰り際にちゃんと見れました！前回同様マイタイも美味しく、配られたスナック菓子も船の上のせいか何故かとても美味しく感じました。西洋人の方が多いですが、日本人も居てお互いの家族で写真を取り合ったりして仲良く過ごせました。

Wonderful cruise, attentive and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend.
From the departure, the explanations, the Mai Tai and champagne service, and the careful adjustment of the mast to ensure the boat could sail steadily were all done excellently, allowing us to relax and focus on chatting and taking photos.
出発から、説明、マイタイ、シャンペンのサービス、船が安定して航行できるようにマストの状態を注意深く調整するなど、最高の仕事ぶりで、私たちは安心して、おしゃべりや写真に集中できました。

Thank you for explaining things clearly. It was my first time, and I was happy to be able to stand! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!
分かりやすく教えて頂き、
初めてでしたが、
立つことができて嬉しかったです！
またハワイに行ったときは参加したいです！

This is my third time, and it’s always amazing no matter how many times I go! The fireworks, the ocean, the drinks, and the music in Waikiki. Enjoying a drink while gazing at the night view of Waikiki is truly the best! Since it’s an open bar, the all-you-can-drink option is fantastic!
今年で3回目になりますが、何度乗っても最高にたのです！ワイキキの花火と海とお酒と音楽と。本当にワイキキの夜景を遠目に眺めながらのお酒は最高です！オープンバーなので、飲み放題も最高☆

This was my first time surfing, and I was worried about whether I could do it, but there were about 20 people in the group with around 5 instructors who helped push us when the waves came. They also gave us signals like, "Come on, come on! Stand up!" By the third try, I started to get the hang of it and was able to ride the waves! The instructors were all friendly, and some of them spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to do this again next year! ☆
今回、初サーフィンとのことで、乗れるか心配でしたが、20人前後のグループにインストラクターが5人程付いて、波が来たタイミングで押してくれます。あとは、「コイデコイデー！セイザー！タッテー！」と合図をくれるので、3回目くらいにはコツが掴めて来て、波に乗れるようになります！スクールのインストラクターの方も皆さんフランクで、日本語を話せる方もいたので、安心してできました。来年も絶対やりたいです☆

You will travel to the submarine by a larger ferry from the pier and board the submarine that has surfaced. The journey to the submarine feels like a cruise with a view of Diamond Head. The boat may sway a bit, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.
Inside the submarine, there is a decent amount of space, and we were able to enjoy observing the underwater fish and sea turtles. As we navigate between the reefs, you can see many fish. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles.
It was a very enjoyable tour.
潜水艦までは桟橋から大き目のフェリーで移動し，浮上してきた潜水艦に搭乗します．
潜水艦までの移動もダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらクルージングといった雰囲気です．少々船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方は注意してください．
潜水艦内はそこそこ余裕もあり，楽しく水中の魚やウミガメを観察することができました．
漁礁の間を縫うように進むため，たくさんの魚をみることができます．
運よく自分たちはウミガメを見ることができました．
非常に楽しいツアーでした．

Had a fabulous time on the fireworks cruise with the guys from Maitai catamaran. This was for my 50th birthday and was the most amazing way to spend it.
The crew where so nice and the drinks where yummy. Great music.
Very reasonable price.
Would highly recommend these guys.
Loved it.
It's all foreigners, so it feels a bit like an away game! If you can speak English, it might be fun~ And it depends on the weather~ Also, language skills! Communication too!
外人ばっかりで、アウエーな感じ！
英語が出来れば、楽しいかも〜
そして天気次第ですね〜
あと語学力！コミニュケーションも

While I was at the sandy boarding area, a staff member approached me. I got a little wet while boarding, but it was comfortable on the boat. We were the only Asians among the passengers. Although they only spoke English, it wasn't a problem. I was able to encounter dolphins and whales, and I was very satisfied.
乗合場所の砂浜にいたら、係の方から、お声掛けされました。乗り込む時、少し濡れましたが、船の上は快適でした。利用者でアジア人は私達だけでした。英語のみですが不自由はありませんでした。イルカやクジラにも遭遇する事が出来、満足です。

You can see airplanes sunk deep on the ocean floor, making it truly an adventure. If you're lucky, you might also spot a large sea turtle swimming gracefully next to the submarine. Before diving in the submarine, you'll travel by boat, and I think the views from there are also very nice. If you mainly want to enjoy the fish, consider choosing a different tour, such as snorkeling.
深く海底に沈んでいる飛行機なども見れてまさにアドベンチャー。運が良ければ大きなウミガメが潜水艦の横を悠々と泳ぐ姿も見れます。潜水艦で潜る前に船で移動しますが、そこからの景色もとても良いと思います。なお、お魚をメインで楽しみたい方は、シュノーケルなど別なツアーにしましょう。

About 5-6 years ago, I paid $30 directly to ride the same Manukau Ikatara. The price has increased by $9-19 since then, and drinks are now charged separately. I feel it's a bit expensive.
5-6年前、30ドル直接払って、同じマヌカイカタラマン乗っていました。当時より値上がり9-19ドル、かつ飲み物有料です。

Had a long dive with the turtles. We saw 6-8 turtles and tons of fish. Crew was super friendly and very accommodating to our needs. Felt very safe with my 11 year old daughter with us. Snacks were plentiful as most were hungry after the dive. We had a nice sail after the dive too.
I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my partner. It started without much explanation, and we paddled out, enjoying the waves alongside surfers. After it ended, I was asked if I saw any photos, but there wasn't anyone taking pictures, so I wondered if they had taken some without us knowing. In the end, no photos were taken. I wonder if they would take pictures if requested, although it might be an additional charge. We don't have any photos of us on the canoe, and while it remains a nice memory, I think it would have been great to have some, especially since we were with a child.
5歳の娘と親子3人で参加しました。
特に説明もなく始まり、パドルをもって漕ぎ出し、サーファーと一緒に気持ち良く波乗りを楽しみました。
終了後、写真見ました？と言われましたが、特に撮影している人もいなかったですし、どこかで知らない間に撮ってたのか？とも思いましたが、結局撮っていませんでした。
写真を希望すれば、撮ってくださるのかな？別料金でしょうけど。
カヌーに乗った写真はなく、思い出に残っていますが、子連れでしたし、あったら良かったなと思いました。

I arrived just in time for the 5 PM meeting, but the local staff greeted us with smiles. The waves were calm, and it felt great when the boat caught the wind and picked up a bit of speed. The scenery while sipping a Mai Tai on the boat, with the blue sky, the setting sun, and Diamond Head illuminated by the sunset, was truly wonderful.
There were two couples and a family of four, in addition to my own family of three, and everyone else was from various countries. Since we could speak English, we were able to chat with other passengers, which made for a very enjoyable time. There was no sign of poor service just because we were Japanese or because we couldn't speak English.
The staff on the boat were very friendly and helped create a lively atmosphere, making it a lot of fun. While there were no explanations in Japanese, I think even those who don't understand English at all could follow along through the staff's gestures.
I was a bit anxious about how to get to the meeting point, but if you go through the Sheraton's pool and bar, it's right in front of you. If you're unsure, you can show your voucher at the Sheraton front desk and say "Mai Tai Sunset," and they should be able to help you.
17時集合のギリギリ滑り込みになってしまいましたが、現地スタッフも笑顔で対応してくれました。
波も静かで、船が帆を張って風を受けて進むときに少しスピードが出て気持ちが良かったです。青い空、沈んでいく夕日、夕日を受けたダイアモンドヘッドなど、船上でマイタイを飲みながら見る景色は本当に素晴らしかったです。
日本人は自分の家族（3人）以外にカップルで2組とご家族で4人ぐらいで、他は皆さんいろんな国から来ていた人ばかりでした。自分たちは英語が話せたので、ほかの乗客とも話したりできてとても良い時間になりました。日本人だから、英語が話せないからといって、サービスが酷いなどの事も見られませんでした。
船上のスタッフもとても気さくで、その場を盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。日本語での説明などはありませんが、全く英語が分からなくてもスタッフのジェスチャーなどで説明は理解できると思います。
集合場所への行き方が不安でしたが、シェラトンのプールとバーを抜けていくとすぐ目の前にあります。分からなかったら、シェラトンのフロントとかでバウチャー見せて「マイタイ・サンセット」と言えば教えてくれるかと思います。

I wanted to surf in Hawaii, so on the morning of the day, I searched and found a session available from the afternoon, and I joined. Since I had experience with wakeboarding and snowboarding, I thought I would be able to stand up easily. It was a group session, but that day there were few people, so it ended up being just me and the coach (lucky!). We watched a video on the basics, and then headed out to the ocean! The coach said, "Go, go!" and I managed to stand up on my first try for about 20 meters! After that, I rode the waves 7 or 8 more times and stood up every time. It was incredibly fun! I'm grateful to the coach!!
I had a great time surfing for the first time!
ハワイでサーフィンしたいと思い当日の朝、探していると、昼から参加可能を見つけて、参加しました。
ウェイクボードとスノボードはした事あるので、立てたらなのとかなると思っていました。
グループ参加でしたが、その日は、人が少なくコーチとツーマンでした。（ラッキー！）
基本をビデオで見て、いざ沖へ！
コーチが「コイデーコイデー」っと言って、
いざ波へ1回目で立てて20mくらいは、立っていたと思います！！
その後も7〜8回滑って全部立てました。
最高ー！に楽しかったです。
コーチに感謝！！
初めてのサーフィン楽しく遊べました！

I participated alone. Both the instructor and the participants were friendly, so it was fine. There were about 5 instructors for 9 participants. It's okay even if there isn't an instructor who speaks Japanese, but there was one on this day. You can have fun even by yourself! The waves in Hawaii are easy to ride and you can stand for a long time, so even those who can't stand in Japan can enjoy it. Most of the participants were beginners, but everyone was able to stand up.
一人で参加しました。インストラクターも参加者も気さくで大丈夫です。9人参加にインストラクター5人位いました。日本語が話せるインストラクターが居なくても大丈夫ですが、この日は居ました。一人でも楽しめます！ハワイは波が乗りやすい波で長く立て、日本で立てない人も楽しめもす。参加者ほぼ初めての方でしたが、全員立てていました。

This cruise was a great way to conclude our visit to Waikiki Beach. Beautiful sunset, friendly crew, lots of memories. We enjoyed the company of other people and the whole atmosphere on the boat.
Captain Chris and his crew were amazing. My wife and I had a blast.
If we hadn't already booked other attractions through the week, we'd have just hung out with the Manu Kai team for days. The guys spotted dolphins and redirected course to give us the up-close experience.
Just a great time. Loved it. Thank you guys so much.
I was able to see the whale's spout. I was surprised that it came out so far offshore. Some people also saw turtles. The staff's response was good, and I had a second cocktail for $3. I will definitely ride again next time.
クジラの潮吹が見えました。あんなに沖の方まで出てくれるとは思っていなかったので、ビックリ。亀を見た人もいました。スタッフの対応も良く、カクテル3$でお代わりしました。次も絶対乗ります。
