We had a wonderful time out on the Makani Catermeran this week. The crew was very friendly, funny and accomodating. The boat ride was also very smooth ( per the weather conditions ) and all of us looked like we had a great time. We never felt cramped, the boat was plenty large enough. Food was pretty good as well as the drinks!!! We stuffed our selves! One of the crew even fished as we sailed along, unfortunately nothing was caught this time out. The views of waikiki and diamond head were amazing! It was great to get to see the skyline from the ocean. The sunset was beautiful and was timed great on our way back! Thank you everyone at Makani Catameran!

The dinner cruise we participated in was completely different from any other dinner cruise we've been on. First, we were picked up at 4 PM, which felt early for a dinner cruise.
The boat was small with an open bottom, making it feel like it was on skis. On the day we went, we were the only Japanese guests, and since the staff couldn't speak Japanese, everything was in English, but that was fine.
As soon as we set sail, a buffet-style meal began. However, the selection was limited, and it wasn't really what you would call a dinner buffet. There were too few tables for everyone to eat at the same time. Up to that point, I thought this cruise was a bit disappointing, but I was surprised when we went out onto the deck. The waves were high that day, and the boat was moving at an incredible speed, riding over the waves like surfing, which was really thrilling. It felt like the boat itself was an attraction, and while I was scared it might capsize, I had a lot of fun. The other guests were also very excited.
There was a deck at the front of the boat where you could stand and get splashed with water. The front area had a net-like seating arrangement, allowing us to see the ocean below through the mesh. It was quite impressive. Instead of enjoying a meal on the dinner cruise, we found a different kind of enjoyment and were very satisfied. I recommend wearing casual clothes that you don't mind getting wet.
After the thrilling experience, we slowly moved towards Diamond Head, where we enjoyed a peaceful moment that was quite different from earlier. During sunset, we had a relaxing time and took many photos. The tour ended when the sun went down, so we returned earlier than on a typical dinner cruise. By the time we left, even though we couldn't communicate well, the Americans who were also on the cruise made an effort to communicate with us, which was enjoyable.
I wouldn't recommend this for those who want to enjoy a dinner, but for those who want to experience the thrill of the boat, it was an excellent cruise.
参加したディナークルーズは今まで参加したディナークルーズとは全く違いました。まず迎えに来てもらうのが16時。ディナークルーズにしては早いなって思いながらの参加でした。
船は小さく船底が開いている…船がスキー板をはいている感じです。参加した日は日本人は私たち夫婦だけでした。スタッフも日本語が話せないので全て英語でしたが大丈夫でした。
出航するとすぐにバイキング形式の食事が始まりました。食事と言っても品数は少なくてとてもディナーバイキングと呼べる料理ではありませんでした。テーブルも少なくて全員が一斉には食事出来ない席数です。ここまではこのクルージングはいまいちかと思っていましたがデッキへ出てびっくりしました。私が参加した日は波が高くて沖にすごいスピードで船が進んで行くので波乗りのように波を渡っていきそれはそれはすごい迫力でした。船そのものがアトラクションのようで転覆しないかとすごく怖かったけどすごく楽しかったです。外人さん達も大盛り上がりでした。船の先端にデッキがありそこに立つと水しぶきですごく濡れます。前方は網で編んだような座れるところになっていて下は海が網の目から見れます。すごい迫力です。ディナークルーズで食事を楽しむよりは違った楽しみ方で大満足でした。服は濡れてもいいようにカジュアルが良いと思います。アトラクションのようなスリルの後はゆっくり進んでダイヤモンドヘッドが見れて先ほどとは違った静かな時間が流れました。サンセットの時もゆったりした時間で写真もたくさん撮れました。日が沈むと終了のツアーなので通常のディナークルーズより帰りは早いです。帰る頃には言葉は通じないけど参加していたアメリカの人達が一生懸命コミュニケーションをとってくれて楽しかったです。ディナーを楽しみたい人にはあまりおすすめしませんが船の迫力を楽しみたい人には最高のクルージングでした。

Since I have a 6-month-old and a nearly 3-year-old, I thought a formal cruise might be too much, so I chose this option. However, both my mother in her 70s and I are prone to seasickness, so we took motion sickness medication. The boat rocked quite a bit, and while I took the full recommended dose and was on the verge of seasickness, my mother, who took half, ended up completely seasick. My husband and the kids, who usually don’t get seasick, were fine. After a while out at sea, the seasickness settled down, but those prone to it should be cautious.
The boat is small, and everyone was dressed casually, making for a relaxed cruising experience. There are no assigned seats, so you can sit wherever you like on a first-come, first-served basis. Hawaiian music played before departure, which really set the mood. After we set sail, ballads from artists like The Beatles filled the air, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The sunset was incredibly beautiful, and I was mesmerized by the pink-tinted sea. And then there was the green flash! I’m not entirely sure since it wasn’t a bright green, but the crew member shouted "green flash!" so I believe that’s what it was. The sunset, which shone brightly before fading away, left a strong impression.
The food was light snacks, but it was delicious. Even my 3-year-old ate well. Our family was the only one with kids; most of the participants were white. Since the kids behaved quietly, I don’t think we were looked at disapprovingly. A friendly woman in her 60s approached me while I was holding the baby, which made me happy.
As a side note, a fishing rod set up at the back of the boat got a hit, and we caught a fish about 60 cm long. It seemed to be very exciting for the 3-year-old boy.
6か月とそろそろ3歳の子連れなので、格式高いクルージングは無理かな…と思い、こちらを選択しました。ただ、私も70台の母も船酔い体質なため、酔い止めを飲みました。が、かなり船は揺れたため、規定量の全量飲んだ私は船酔い一歩手前、半量飲んだ母は完全な船酔いに…。あまり酔わない夫と子供たちは大丈夫でした。沖に出てしばらくすると船酔いも落ち着きましたが、船酔いする人は要注意です。
船は小さく、参加者も皆ラフな服装なので、カジュアルに楽しめるクルージングです。席は決まっていないので、先着順に好きな席に座れます。出航前から、ハワイアンミュージックが流れており、ムードが高まりました。出航後はビートルズなどのバラード系の洋楽が流れ、雰囲気満点でした。
夕陽はとても美しく、ピンクに染まる海にうっとりでした。そしてグリーンフラッシュ!はっきりとした緑色ではなかったので自信はないですが、船員さんが「green flash!」と叫んだので,
きっとそうなのだと思っています。最後にピカッと光ったあとにスッと消えた夕陽はとても印象的でした。
ご飯は軽食ですが、美味しかったです。3歳の子も良く食べていました。
子連れは私たち家族だけで、ほとんどは白人でした。子供たちが大人しくしてくれていたので、白い目で見られることはなかったと思います。赤ちゃんを抱っこしていたら白人の60台くらいの女性からフレンドリーに話しかけられて嬉しかったです。
余談ですが、船尾にしかけた釣り竿がヒットし、60㎝くらいの魚を釣り上げていました。3歳の男の子にはとっても面白かったようでした。

The pickup was a bit confusing since other tours gathered at the same location, but I was relieved that we were picked up safely. After arriving, we waited a little before boarding. The boat was smaller than I expected. Right after boarding, there was an announcement about safety instructions in the dining area, but it was all in English. There were no other Japanese people besides us, which made me a bit worried, but I managed to understand most of it with some listening skills. They explained the locations of the life jackets and the restrooms. The meal was served buffet-style, with white rice, taro, spring rolls, beef and vegetable stir-fry, BBQ chicken, and boiled vegetables. There weren't many options, but since I was worried about seasickness, it was enough for me. We had a small child with us, but they didn't mind at all, and we were able to relax. The area with a net stretched over the water below was a lovely spot. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the dazzling sea before sunset, and we were very satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. The child seemed impressed and kept saying, "The sky is red!" Even the family members who were seasick felt better after watching the beautiful sunset! I’m really glad we participated. I highly recommend this tour!
ピックアップは、他のツアーも同じ場所で集合があり、少し分かりづらかったものの、無事ピックアップしていただけて安心しました。
到着後、少し待ってから乗船しました。
思っていたより小さな船でした。
乗り込んですぐに、船内の食事スペースで乗船の注意事項の案内がありましたが、全て英語です。
日本人は私達意外おらず、少し心配でしたが、多少のヒアリング力で大体分かりました。
ライフカードの場所、トイレの場所等の説明でした。
食事はビュッフェ形式です。
白米、タロ芋、春巻、ビーフと野菜炒め、BBQチキン、茹で野菜等がありました。
品数は多くはなかったですが、船酔いが心配であまり食べられなかったので十分でした。
小さい子連れでしたが、嫌がられる事もなく、安心して過ごせました。
水上を真下にネットが張ってあるスペースは素敵な場所でした。
天候にも恵まれ、サンセット前の眩しい海を堪能してから、キレイなサンセットをしっかり見られ大満足でした。
子どもも印象的だったようで、お空が赤!とずっと言っていました。
船酔いしていた家族も美しいサンセットを見ていたら船酔いも解消された!と大満足でした。

We were picked up in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue at Waikiki Beach at 9 AM and arrived at the port, just past Ala Moana, in about 30 minutes. We waited for about 45 minutes for the previous tour to finish. While I thought about how time flows in Hawaii, the kids enjoyed watching the fish at the bottom of the port in the different water compared to Japan, and my wife had fun chatting in broken English with a woman in her twenties from New Zealand who was on the same tour.
After a fun wait, a cruiser that can hold about ten people arrived, and we boarded with some anxiety for our first parasailing experience. As we headed out to sea, preparing for about 15 minutes (putting on the harness and life jackets), it suddenly began. Suspended from the parachute at the end of the rope connected to the boat, we were lifted over 100 meters into the air, and from below, we looked like tiny dots.
Once we were up in the air, the feeling was incredible, surrounded by the deep blue sea and the bright blue sky. Depending on the situation, we were sometimes higher than small airplanes or helicopters, so if you're not good with heights, you might want to skip this. For those who are not comfortable, the slight swaying in the wind can be quite terrifying, so motion sickness medication is a must.
We were in the air for about 5 to 10 minutes, splashed down onto the water briefly, and then went back up into the sky before landing on the boat. The crew consisted of two people: the captain and a supporter, who spoke some broken Japanese and made the experience enjoyable. They were very considerate and gentle, especially towards small children and women.
My son said this was "the most fun" part of our trip, and we would definitely like to participate again if we come back to Oahu.
朝9時にワイキキビーチのデュークカハナモク像前からピックアップしてもらい、アラモアナを少し過ぎた港へ約30分で到着。
そこで前のツアーが終わるのを45分くらい待ったでしょうか、これがハワイ時間の流れ方かと思いつつも、子供たちは日本と違う住んだ水で港の底にいる魚たちを見て楽しみ、妻は片言の英語でツアーが一緒になったニュージーランドの20代女性と会話を楽しんでました。
楽しく待ち時間をすごしたのちに10名程が乗れるクルーザーが到着、初めてのパラセイリングに不安も感じながら乗船。
青い海に白い波を立てながら15分ほどパラセイリングの準備(ワイヤーやライフジャケット着用)をしながら沖に出たところで、突然はじまります。
船に繋がれたロープ先のパラシュートに吊るされて100m以上の上空へ、下から見てると豆粒くらいになります。
上空にあがると気分は最高、真っ青の空と眼下の深青の海に囲まれ絶景です。
遠くに小型飛行機やヘリコプターより場合によっては高くなるので高いのが苦手な人はやめた方がいいかもしれません、苦手な人だと少し風で揺れる事もあるので恐怖以外の何物でもないと思われます、酔い止めは必須です。
5分~10分程上空にいて、一度海面にちゃぷんと着水してもう一度空へ、それから船の上に着地します。
クルーはキャプテンとサポーターの2名です、片言の日本語で色々はなして盛り上げてくれ楽しい時間をすごせました。
小さい子供や女性にも優しく、気遣いも非常に紳士です。
今回の旅行で「一番楽しかった」と息子の感想です、またオアフに来たらぜひ参加したいと思います。

We attended the dinner sunset cruise on Sunday September 10, 2017. Transportation is included at no additional cost. Our assigned time to ba at the pick up location was 3:40 for a 3:50 pick up. We were told to look for a black or silver Mercedes Sprinter Van. Many passed by with out stopping. As the time got later every van that flew past us just made us that more concerned that we may not get picked up. We were unstructured to call the Makani if there was any delay in transportation. When I called the recording said I was the third caller. When it finally said I was next and someone would be with me shortly, five minutes later it said they were experiencing high call volume and leave a message. I tried this a couple of times with no luck. Found out after the fact that they don't answer calls after hours so it does no good giving a number to customers. Around 4:10 a van came by. They had a small sign in the front window for Makani. The driver said he was just from a transportation company who gets called sometimes to pick up Makani guests. He received the call late which meant all the remaining guests would be that much later. We mad four stops on the way to the boat to pick up additional passengers and each was more upset than the previous. Makani should contact passenger and let them know that the transportation is running late or have someone answering the phone.
The weather was a little rainy but it was still. Ice to get out on the water. We still had a nice time and the sunset pics were okay. You can't control the weather. The food served was actually really good. Teriyaki chicken, rice, egg rolls, veggies, etc. cookies for dessert. Beers were $6. Other boats included alcohol for around the same price fare but didn't have availability last minute. When we saw the boats that we called which didn't have availability they looked over full. All in all it was a good experience.

However, regarding the "height" that was initially set, I'm not sure if it was really the length I signed up for. Since paragliding is done in pairs, I was with someone else, and I wondered if that person had signed up for the same height too.

We participated in the sunset dinner cruise as a couple this time. The views during the cruise were absolutely stunning, and as we departed, the sunlight and the approach to Diamond Head were exceptional! Once the sun began to set, it was truly a beautiful sunset.
I had imagined a certain size of boat based on the tour description, but it was surprisingly small. Perhaps because of that, we felt quite a bit of rocking at first. The meal, too, was not as grand as one might expect from a dinner cruise, but it suited the size of the boat, resembling more of a buffet-style dining experience.

クルージングの景色は申し分ない程の絶景で、出向後の太陽の日差しとダイヤモンドヘッドに近づくにつれ格別で!
また日が暮れ始めてからは正にサンセットと、とても綺麗そのものでした。
ツアーの内容的にもそれなりの船を想像していたのですが意外と小さく、そのためか当初かなり揺れを感じることになっていました。

My husband and I had an amazing time on the Makani sunset dinner cruise while on our honeymoon in Hawaii! The only downfall, as others have mentioned, is having to wait to get checked in. With the arranged transportation, we arrived an hour before the boat set sail and could not check in until 30 prior to the departure time. The staff took excellent care of everyone throughout the night to make sure we all had a good experience. The food was casual but very good- especially the spring rolls! Drinks are reasonably priced with a variety of options. We especially enjoyed that the cruise was on a catamaran for a more intimate feel compared to a larger cruise ship. We would definitely recommend this sunset dinner cruise to anyone in O'ahu for vacation!

We participated with three adults and one high school student. We traveled by boat from the sandy beach to the spot. The ride can be bumpy, and it shakes while waiting for others to fly, so I think it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand.
After about a five-minute boat ride, the staff starts preparing everything. We took off our sandals, put on life jackets, and once we were ready, the groups started flying one after another. You choose the height when you make the reservation, but it didn't seem to be confirmed, so the height doesn't seem to matter much. What was checked were the number of water landings and the force of the jump. I didn't want to get wet, so I used "ones! mild!" and only splashed a little. Some people got quite wet, but it seems it's also possible to come back dry.
The flying lasts just under ten minutes, but it feels amazing. It was quite high and a bit scary, but I had enough time to wave my hands and take pictures. The staff were handsome and kind, and it was fun to chat with others on the same boat.
大人3人高校生1人で参加しました。砂浜からスポットまでボートで移動しました。移動も揺れますし、他の方が飛んでいる待機中も揺れますので酔い止めは飲んでいった方が良いと思います。
ボートで5分くらい移動したらスタッフの方が着々と準備を始めます。サンダルを脱いで、ライフジャケットを着て、準備が整うとはじのグループから次々に飛んでいきます。予約の時に高さを選びますが特に確認されることもなかったので、高さはあまり関係ない気がします。確認されたのは着水の回数と勢いです。私は濡れたくなかったので「ones!mild!」と使えたのでポチャくらいでした。人によってはかなり濡れていましたし、濡れずに帰ってくることも可能みたいです。
飛んでいる間は10分弱ですがかなり気持ちいいです。結構高くて少し恐さはありましたが手を振ったり、写真を撮る余裕はありました。スタッフの方がイケメンで親切で、同じボートの方との話ができたり楽しかったです。

We had a wonderful evening on Makani. After reviewing several dinner cruise options, we selected Makani due to the great reviews and good price. It was one of our favorite excursions on our vacation!
The pros: The staff was great - funny and personable. The food was good and there was a large drink selection, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It was a very relaxing cruise with a beautiful view; it lasted approximately two hours, so you get to enjoy the sunset, as well.
The cons: There is only one, which is that they provide transportation, but not from our hotel. Though they didn't require us to go very far, it was a bit confusing trying to find our pick up point as that particular hotel has several locations. Also a slight put off considering we passed our hotel going to the marina. All was fine in the end though, as it was nice that transportation was provided at no additional cost.
Overall, I would highly recommend this excursion. We really enjoyed the relaxing, beautiful evening aboard the Makani Dinner Cruise.
Thank yo so much for your review! We continue to strive to build a better experience for everyone. We look forward to having you aboard again soon! Aloha MakaniCat

In addition, the food was pretty good too. It included several options and there was plenty so I think you won't leave the boat hungry. If I go back to Oahu, I will go back on this cruise again specially towards the end of my trip to chill, relax, and take good sunset pictures.

Since the participants are dressed quite casually, I recommend wearing pants. After arriving at the bay, you will exchange your boarding pass and drink voucher, and board the catamaran! There is no Japanese support, and all explanations are in English, but I was able to find out the location of the life jackets and the restroom on the boat. Drinks start as soon as we set sail! There are two sizes available, but the smaller one is sufficient.
After departure, it was quite rocky until we got out to sea, but that’s part of the experience! The catamaran has nets over the bow where you can sit, but we were too scared to try it. The dinner was more on the Asian side and tasted great. I was pleasantly surprised by the large cookie they handed out later.
However, there wasn't anyone on the crew who spoke Japanese, so I wished there had been at least one. But you can definitely enjoy the scenery!
参加者の皆さんはかなりラフな服装ですので、パンツスタイルがお勧めです。湾に到着後、乗船券とドリンク券を引き替え、カタラマンに乗船!日本語の対応はなく全て英語の説明ですが、船にある救命胴衣の位置やトイレの場所はわかりました。ドリンクは出港するとすぐに開始!サイズは2種類ありますが、小さい方で充分。
出港後、沖に出るまではかなり揺れましたが、それも醍醐味!カタラマンの双頭にはネットがかけてあり、そこに座ることができますが、私たちは怖くていけませんでした。ディナーは、どちらかというとアジアン寄りで味はおいしかったです。後で配ってくれた大きなクッキーは予想してなかったので、うれしかったです。
ただ、クルーに日本語をはなせる方がいかなったので、ひとりは欲しかったな~
でも、景色は堪能できます!

Three years ago, my four-year-old grandchild couldn't participate, so only my seven-year-old grandchild had the experience. This time, both grandchildren were able to join. The younger one was scared at first when going up, but seemed to calm down as they started looking further away, and they were very happy.
三年前は四歳だった孫は参加出来ず、上の七歳の孫だけしか経験出来なかったか、今回は二人の孫が揃って参加出来ました。下の子は上に上がった最初の内は怖がっていたが、遠くを見るようになって落ち着いたようで、とても喜んでいた。

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice sunset dinner cruise the other night in the Makani catamaran. The night started off with a friendly driver picking us up at our hotel and bringing us to the boat. The only criticism of the whole night (very minor) is that we arrived at the boat around 4:40 but we're not able to "Check in" until 5 even though the girl was sitting in the booth waiting until 5. So rather than checking in as people arrived we now had an awkward line waiting to check in. Then we waited another 15-20 minutes to board the boat. Like I said, minor but the timing could have been better. Once aboard, the crew was great and got us quickly out of the harbor to enjoy the amazing views of the city and mountains. The food was as expected, a decent buffet. The drinks were good and reasonably priced.
What you are paying for is the views and that sunset! That was worth every penny on our trip. The catamaran boat let you enjoy the experience a lot more as you are free to move around and sit on the front netting.

After experiencing this absolute fun activity last year with my wife and three friends we decided to give it another go this year.
5 of us made the bookings on line and met up with our guide Thomas and 5 other peddlers.
Thomas made us feel very welcome and excited to do this again, he explained the rules and the stops for this trip. Was a bit disappointed no Duck Fart or Brewsum but what the heck.
Turns out the new venues were just great with great beers, food and staff.
This uniquel experience should be done by anyone visiting Waikiki and you don't have to be fit - others can pedal lol. Expect a fun time.

I was a bit worried about the light rain as I boarded the boat, but it stopped right away. I had signed up for the 130m experience, but the other passengers were at the same height, so I wondered if the height standards of 110, 130, and 150 meters really made a difference. The view of Diamond Head and the high-rise hotels below was fantastic.
雨がパラパラで大丈夫かなと思いながら乗船。すぐやんだ。130mに申しこんだが、同じ乗船客も同じ高さだったので、高さ基準は110も130も150も変わらないのでは、、、と思った。
ダイヤモンドヘッドや高層ホテル群が眼下に見えて素晴らしかった。

That was an awesome adventure! My brother and I had a blast we just wish the ride was at least ten minutes longer. Besides that the crew was very professional but also new how to have a good time. We would definitely do it again. Although for future customers you should add some time for the price! Thanks.

Every time I come to Waikiki, I've thought about going on a sunset cruise on a yacht, but since my wife gets seasick, we only had the option of larger cruise ships that don't sway much. However, this time I decided to go for it and made a reservation.
The yacht was larger than those docked in Waikiki and hardly swayed at all. However, because of the sea breeze, a hat might feel tight. Being close to the water allows you to truly experience the beauty of Waikiki's sea. The bow of the yacht has a net, making it even closer to the water and more enjoyable. There are also light snacks available in a buffet style, and they suited the Japanese palate well.
I noticed that most of the guests were American, with only a few Japanese, along with some Korean couples and Chinese families. The four staff members were also American, and since all the explanations were in English, there were some things we didn't understand due to our limited English skills, but it wasn't a major issue. If we could speak English, we could have chatted more friendly with various people.
Unlike large cruise ships, I especially recommend this for couples who want a quiet and romantic atmosphere. Of course, there are clean restrooms available, which is reassuring.
ワイキキに来る度に、ヨットでのサンセットクルーズしたいなと何度か思いつつ、妻が船酔いするため?、揺れの無い大きいクルーズ船しかありませんでしたが、今回思い切って予約。
ワイキキに停泊してるヨットよりも大きく、ほとんど大きくゆれませんでした。但し海風を受けるため、帽子はきついかも。海面に近い為、ワイキキの海を身近に感じヨットの良さが体験出来ます。特に船首はネットになっており更に海面がより近く楽しいです。軽食もバイキングで好きなだけ何度も食べれます。日本人の味にあってました。
気になったのは、ほとんどがアメリカ人で、日本人は数名、あとは韓国人カップルと中国人親子でした。
スタッフ4名もアメリカ人で説明は全て英語な為、英語が不得意な私達は分からない事がありましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。英語が話せれば色々な人達とフレンドリーに話せるのになぁ。
大きい客船とは違い、静かにムードにしたりたいカップルには特にお薦めです。勿論水洗トイレも完備で安心ですよ。
