I have participated in large ship cruises before, but this cruise was incredibly pleasant, allowing me to truly feel the Hawaiian sea, and it was the best. I spent almost the entire two-hour cruise at the front of the ship, enjoying delicious beer. The staff later went trolling. Occasionally, they catch tuna or mahi-mahi. Although nothing was caught that day, I was able to see flying fish skimming just above the surface of the water. This time, I was able to participate at a very low price due to a campaign, but I believe it would be worth it even at the regular price.
いままで、大きな船のクルーズには参加したことがありましたが、今回のクルーズがすごく気持ちのいい、ハワイの海が感じられて、一番です。約2時間のクルーズをほとんど船の先端のところでおいしいビールを飲みながら過ごしました。スタッフは後でトローリングをしていました。ときどき、マグロやマヒマヒが釣れるそうです。その日はつれませんでしたが、トビウオが海面すれすれを飛ぶのが見れました。今回はキャンペーンですごく安く参加できましたが、普通に払っても十分価値はあると思います。

I had heard rumors about it, but the boat ride out to sea is quite bumpy, so it's better not to eat right before. There was an American woman who looked like she was in a "salted greens" state. I think this ride might be a bit hard for children under elementary school age. However, the view from offshore Waikiki is amazing, so I definitely encourage you to be in good shape and give it a try. Bringing your own camera or video for filming is not allowed (or rather, it's difficult due to the rocking), but if you ask, they will film one roll for $15 and give it to you at the end. This will be a nice keepsake!
噂には聞いていましたが、沖に出るまでのボートの揺れが激しいので、直前に物を食べないほうが良いですヨ。アメリカ人のお姉さんで、「青菜に塩」状態のひとがいました。この揺れは小学生以下のお子さんには少々ハードだと思います。でも、ワイキキの沖から眺める景色は最高なので、ぜひ体調を万全にしてチャレンジして頂きたいと思います。持ち込んだカメラやビデオでの撮影は不可(というか、揺れのために困難)ですが、お願いしておくと、15ドルでフィルム1本分を撮影して最後に渡してくれます。これは記念になりますね!

Yachts can really pick up speed, can't they? As a first-timer, I was pleasantly surprised. Along the way, I spotted a few dolphins, and flying fish were jumping around constantly. Although there was no shuttle service included, the check-in location was easy to find, which was great. Light snacks were provided, and it was a good decision to participate without having breakfast. On the deck, the splashes were quite intense, so it would have been better to wear clothes that could get wet. This was an activity I definitely want to participate in again next time.
ヨットってとてもスピードがでるのですね。初参加で知らなくって、嬉しい驚きでした。途中、イルカも少し見えたし、飛び魚は常時はねていました。送迎の無いプランでしたが、チェックイン場所は分かりやすかったので良かったです。軽食もついていて、朝食抜きで参加して正解でした。デッキでは、水しぶきがすごいので、濡れても良い服装で参加したほうが良かったです。次回も是非参加したいアクティビティーでした。

The boat was state-of-the-art and luxurious. However, since it was sailing the whole time, I think it would have been better if there were stops for activities like snorkeling along the way.
船は最新式で豪華でした。ただズーッとセイリングなので、途中で止めてシュノーケリングなどあればもっと良かったと思います。

When you think of Hawaii, you might expect a lot of optional tours. Our family planned to enjoy Hawaii this time without any extras. We decided to participate in a tour after seeing some information about ALAN, mainly because it was affordable and included a simple breakfast that you could enjoy by the sea. Since we rented a car, we parked for free right in front of the Ward Warehouse and headed to the cruiser. Hoping there wouldn't be too many Japanese people, we boarded the boat and found that our family was the only one. Although there were some waves at the time, the large yacht was very stable. The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the pleasant morning breeze while taking in views of Waikiki and Diamond Head with coffee in hand, alongside a captain who shared jokes in Japanese. The two hours spent on the tour were incredibly meaningful. I've visited Hawaii several times, but this tour was exceptional. Since I had no expectations at all,
ハワイと言えばお約束の、オプショナルツアー三昧が多いと思われますね。我が家は今回もオプションなしでハワイを楽しもうと考えてました。何となく見たALAN情報にまず、値段が安いことと、簡単な朝食が出て、海で味えるので参加しました。レンタカーを借りているのでワードウエアハウスの真ん前の無料駐車場に止めクルーザーに向かいました。どうかあまり日本人が居ませんようにと思いながら船内に乗ると日本人は我が家族のみ。当時はは波はややあるとのことでも大型ヨットのため安定感は抜群スタッフの応対も良く、日本語の冗談を話す船長とともに朝の心地よい風に吹かれながら船上からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをコーヒーを片手に見る事ができました。2時間はもの凄く有意義な時間でした。何度かハワイには訪れていますが、このツアーは○でしょう。全く期待してなかっただけに、

This year, it seemed like there were more windy days than usual in Hawaii, but fortunately, on the day of the event, it was calm from early morning. I participated with my family of five (myself, my wife, our 8-year-old and 3-year-old children, and my mother) while rubbing our sleepy eyes. Only my wife had experience with parasailing, so I was a bit nervous about what to expect at first, but the staff's kind assistance and humor eased our nerves, and before we knew it, it was our turn to soar into the sky. The view of Honolulu and Diamond Head from high above the ocean was stunning and left a strong impression on me. We were also able to have photos taken while parasailing, which we purchased as a keepsake. My mother, who is 63 this year, was particularly happy, saying, "This became a wonderful memory, my first and last." However, she mentioned that her shoulder hurt the next day, as it seemed she had gripped the parasailing rope tightly with all her strength. I also hope that when the kids grow up, we can participate in a higher altitude experience rather than the standard one.
今年はハワイはいつもより風の強い日が多いような気がしましたが、参加当日は幸いにも早朝から穏やかで眠い目をこすりながらファミリー5人(私、妻、子供8歳、3歳、母)で参加しました。パラセールに参加した経験があるのは妻だけでしたので初めはどんなことになるだろうか緊張をしていましたが、スタッフの方の親切な対応とユーモアで和み自分達の順番まであっという間になり風を切って大空へ舞い上がりました。海上高くから見たホノルルの町並みとダイアモンドヘッドの眺めは素晴らしく印象に強く残りました。また、パラセイルをしている写真を撮ってもらえるので記念に購入をしました。特に母は今年63歳であり「最初で最期のいい思い出になった」と喜んでいました。しかし、次の日に肩が痛いということであり緊張してパラソロのロープを渾身の力で握り締めていたようです。また、子供達が大きくなったらスタンダードではなくもっと上空高くあがれる方に参加したいと思います。

I participated in a members-only experience tour. Since light snacks were included, I joined without breakfast. There were several types of bread and fruits available. My family was the only Japanese participants, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but it wasn't a problem. The water splashes were quite intense, so it's best to be prepared to get wet if you're at the front of the deck. The kids were lying on the net in the center of the deck, enjoying the feeling of a roller coaster and were very happy. We saw a lot of flying fish, and we also spotted a few dolphins. It was a very satisfying activity.

We experienced parasailing for the first time as a family of four, with a standard course of about 150 meters, which was more than enough for beginners. My wife and our two children (ages 6 and 9) loved it; it was thrilling, refreshing, and offered a fantastic view of Waikiki from above. I highly recommend this tour. The kids were so excited, saying they wanted to do it again and would definitely participate next time! Seeing their joy made me promise the whole family that we would join again. In our case, we were picked up around 10:30, took turns boarding the boat, and each group experienced about 15 minutes. Our family went up together into the bright blue sky, and we were dropped off at the hotel around 12:30.
I definitely encourage you to give it a try!
少し風があるなか、家族4人で初のパラセイルを体験しました。スタンダードコースの約150Mでしたが初心者には充分でした。妻・子供2人(6歳と9歳)とも大好評で、スリル満点・全身に受ける爽快感・空から眺めるワイキキの街、絶対にお勧めのツアーでした。子供たちは、もっとやりたい、絶対にまた来たとき時にはやる~!など、こんなに喜んでいる様子を見ていると、また必ず参加することを家族みんなに約束しました。私たちの場合、10時半ごろピックアップしてもらい、順番にボートに乗り込み、各組約15分程度体験し。私たち家族は4人一緒に真っ青な空へ・・・・ホテルに送り届けてくれたのが約12時半ごろでした。

I participated with my child (elementary school student). The comments included many words like "fun" and "getting dizzy," which made me a bit anxious about boarding, but it was nothing like that! The boat, splashing water and moving at an incredible speed, made my child very happy. For those who haven't experienced it yet, I highly recommend trying it out. It's worth the money. The fruits and pastries provided were also delicious, and we had a great time. The two hours flew by. I would love to do it again.
子ども(小学生)と参加させていただきました。
コメントには「楽しい」「酔う」という言葉が多く、若干不安を感じての乗船でしたが、とんでもない!
水しぶきを上げて、ものすごいスピードで走る船に、子どもは大喜びでした。

I signed up for Alan's campaign and participated in the sunset cruising on July 31. The Makani was a much more beautiful and lovely ship than I had imagined. Additionally, there were only ten guests on board, including my family of four, so the kids ran around excitedly and enjoyed a lot of delicious food at a price of just $7.77, which felt like a steal for such a wonderful time. Unfortunately, there were too many clouds, so we couldn't see the sunset, but it felt great to be on the bow of the yacht, feeling the wind as we sped along. I highly recommend that everyone give it a try. You can experience a different kind of pleasure compared to the Star of Honolulu or the Navatek dinner cruises.

Two adults participated for the campaign price of $7.77 for a group of five across three generations. I was a bit worried because it was so cheap, but the boat was very clean, the staff was friendly, and there were even people who spoke Japanese, so I felt really at ease participating. The light snack bread was quite tasty, and there were several types of fruit, plus unlimited drinks, which I thought was a great deal.
That day, there was wind, and the boat was rocking. My 10-year-old daughter and I were at the bow and got soaked from the splashes, but she seemed to enjoy it and kept getting splashed. We also encountered a school of flying fish, and I think it was a great experience that we wouldn't normally have. Since you might get splashed, it's a good idea to bring a towel.
大人2人はキャンペーン価格の7.77ドルで3世代5人で参加しました。
安いので少し心配していましたが、船はとても清潔でスタッフも親切ですし日本語を話せる方もいるので本当に安心して参加出来ました。軽食のパンもなかなか美味しいし、フルーツも数種類あって飲物も飲み放題とてもお得だと思いました。
その日は風があって船が揺れ、船首にいた私と10歳の娘は波しぶきでビショビショになりましたが、娘はそれが楽しかったらしく何度も波しぶきを浴びていました。
海面ではトビウオの集団にも出会えたし、普段なかなか出来ない経験が出来て良かった思います。波しぶきを浴びるかも知れないのでタオルは持って行ったほうがよいですよ。

I participated in a catamaran cruising on July 30. Since I've been to Hawaii many times, I decided to try something I had never done before and signed up for the cruising. It departed from Kewalo Basin, right next to Ala Moana Beach, which was convenient and close to Waikiki. The captain was a very gentlemanly person who spoke Japanese well, and the crew was incredibly stylish and friendly. The weather was perfect, with a bright blue sky and sea, making for a very pleasant cruising experience. Since it started at 10 AM, I had a light breakfast before going, but there were delicious Danish pastries, fruits, and drinks on board, so it would have been fine to go without breakfast. I heard that on the previous evening's cruise, they saw dolphins, so if the timing is right, you might encounter dolphins as well. I definitely want to participate in the sunset cruising next year.
7月30日にカタマランクルージングに参加してきました。ハワイは何度も行っているので今回は今までしたことのないことをしようとクルージングに申し込みました。アラモアナビーチのすぐ隣のケワロ湾から出港なのでワイキキからも近く便利でした。キャプテンは日本語の上手なとても紳士的な方でしたし、クルーもモデル張りに格好良くて皆さんとても親切でした。お天気も最高で空も海も真っ青で、とっても気持ち良いクルージングが出来ました。朝10時からでしたので軽く朝食をとってから行ったのですが船内でおいしいデニッシュパンと果物そして飲み物がありましたので朝食をとらずに行ってもOKでした。前の日の夕方のクルージングではイルカも見れたとの話を聞いたのでタイミングが良ければイルカにも遭遇できるみたいです。来年は是非サンセットクルージングに参加してみたいです。

I parked my car in the free parking space at Ala Moana Park Drive (Ala Moana Beach Park) to participate in the morning sailing. Since it was early in the morning, it's a good idea for those using rental cars to park here. There are paid parking spaces at Kewalo Basin, but it was convenient to have free parking within walking distance.
I was surprised by how well-maintained and large the catamaran was. I could only understand about half of the initial explanation, which was all in English, but they later provided explanations in Japanese as well.
For breakfast, there was a wide variety of bread and plenty of fruit. Juice was unlimited, but please note that carbonated drinks are charged extra. We were able to see dolphins for a long time, making it an activity that could easily be marketed as dolphin watching (it seems there’s a good chance of seeing dolphins).
From the sea, I enjoyed the beautiful blue ocean and the view of Waikiki. Please experience the sight of Diamond Head and the Waikiki hotels gradually getting closer as they appeared small from the ocean. This time, sailing on a catamaran allowed me to enjoy a refreshing feeling of moving with the wind, unlike on a large ship.
If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again.

I participated in the campaign morning cruise. I was surprised by the price, which included a meal of bread, fruit, and juice.
There were several types of bread available, and while the variety was rich, there were only a few of each type, so it's better to choose your favorite bread early.
Sailing in high waves felt like a roller coaster, and some people might get seasick. (My daughter started to feel sick too, but when I had her sit near the bow and enjoy the scenery, the fun made her forget about the seasickness...) The wind was strong, and one participant's sandals were blown away and fell into the sea, so please do not leave your belongings outside. The bow area gets quite wet, so be careful with your clothing and belongings.
We were able to see dolphins multiple times, and while a few people spotted whales, we didn't notice them. I heard that sea turtles can also be seen, but we didn't see any this time.
The captain spoke Japanese very well, which made me feel at ease.
I was disappointed that there was no snorkeling available, as I thought there would be, but I believe it would have been perfect if snorkeling had been an option.
キャンペーンモーニングクルーズに参加しました。パンとフルーツとジュースの食事がついてこの値段には驚きました。
パンはいろいろな種類の物が数個ずつあり、種類は豊富でしたが同じ種類のパンの数が少ないので早めに自分の好きなパンを選んだ方がよいです。
セーリングは波が高いところではジェットコースターのようで酔う人もいるかもしれません。(我家の娘も酔い始めましたが、船首付近で座って景色を眺めさせたら、楽しさが酔いを吹き飛ばしました…)
風が強く、一緒に参加した方のサンダルが飛ばされ海に落ちてしまったので、持ち物は決して外に出しっぱなしにしないでください。
船首付近は波がかなりかかりますので服装や持ち物に注意してください。

On July 24th, my daughter (6th grade) and I participated in a sunset cruise. Out of about 20 participants, we were the only Japanese. The meal included three types of food and cookies. While there was still food left by the end, the cookies disappeared quickly. These cookies are delicious. The explanations during boarding were, of course, in English, but later the captain provided individual explanations. Just being on the boat was enjoyable. The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the sunset from the ocean was wonderful. My daughter was able to take a commemorative photo at the driver's seat, and although she was initially nervous about the language barrier, as time went on, she seemed to be captivated by the charm of the boat. As we approached the end, she kept saying, "It's almost over..." I was happy to be able to talk with others on board using my limited English vocabulary. Since we participated in a campaign, I gave a small tip when we disembarked. On the way back, we took the bus to Waikiki from the bus stop right in front of us. Fortunately, the bus arrived quickly. I think it would be satisfying even at the regular price. I want to ride the Makani again!! The captain was wonderful too.

It was amazing! We decided to go for the extreme ride with the mindset of going higher. I wouldn't recommend it for those with a fear of heights, but if you're okay with it, the extreme option is definitely the way to go! They took us up so high that we were at the same level or even above the top of Diamond Head. It was just the best. But when I looked down, the boats looked like tiny dots. I was a bit scared, but I'm glad I did it. I really felt like a bird, and I think it's very romantic for couples.
The boat ride was also fun, and the staff took lots of pictures, so it became a great memory. It's close to Waikiki, so I highly recommend it!

Since there was no shuttle service, I took the bus to the meeting point, but the park is quite large, so I got a little lost. I think it would have been helpful to have information about the nearest bus stop.
However, I believe there’s no other cruise like this for just $7.77. There were several types of fruits, drinks, and bread available for us to enjoy freely, and we had a cruise of about two hours, which made me very satisfied!
Personally, I got a bit seasick, so I couldn't enjoy the food and drinks as much as I wanted, but my friend fully enjoyed it. I usually don’t get seasick, but the wind was quite strong, and even on a sunny day, the boat rocked a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication unless you’re very confident.
Since it was a local guide, Japanese wasn’t very well understood, but I appreciated that the staff were considerate of my seasickness. I’m a little worried that such low prices might affect the livelihoods of the kind local staff.
It’s so cheap, Alan! But thanks to you, I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.
送迎なしなので集合場所へはバスで行きましたが、公園が広いのでちょっと迷いました。最寄バス停なども教えていただけたらよかったと思いました。
しかし、7.77ドルで、これだけのクルーズができるのはほかにないと思います。
フルーツ・ドリンク・パンが何種類か備えられており、自由に飲食でき、かつ2時間程度のクルーズができまして、大満足です!
個人的には船酔いをしてしまったので、思う存分飲食できませんでしたが、友人はしっかり満喫しておりました。私は船酔いはあまり普段しないのでそのまま行ってしまいましたが、結構風が強くて、晴天でも揺れたので、よほど自信のある方以外は酔い止めの内服をおすすめします。
現地の方の案内なので、日本語はあまり通じませんが、船酔い気味の私をスタッフの方が気遣ってくださって有難かったです。
あまりに安いので、このように親切な現地スタッフの方々の生活に支障をきたしはしないかと少し心配です。
安いよ、アランちゃん!でもおかげさまでとっても楽しませていただきました。

I joined this tour at the invitation of a friend, and before going, I was worried about getting seasick. However, once I started cruising and became one with the wind, those worries were completely unnecessary. First of all, the boat was new and clean, with proper restrooms, and the snacks like Danish pastries and fruits were delicious. Drinks, except for alcohol, were free. We set sail from Kealohilani Bay, heading straight out to sea. The engine was used during departure, but once we were offshore, we raised the sails and caught the wind. It was quite thrilling to ride over the waves. There was a netted area at the bow of the boat, and sitting there, I could see the waves just below me, feeling almost like I was a flying fish (though I did get splashed quite a bit...). The staff on the boat were friendly, and the captain spoke Japanese. It felt like I was invited to a friend's yacht. I was truly healed by the sense of unity with the wind that you can't experience on a large boat.
友人の誘いでこのツアーに行くことになり、行く前は船酔いしないかなーと心配でした。しかーし、風と一体になってクルージングしていたらそんな心配ぜんぜん必要なしでした。まず、船が新しくきれいで、トイレもちゃんとしたトイレが完備され、おやつのデニッシュ、フルーツもおいしく、飲み物もアルコール以外はフリーです。ケワロ湾を出航し、沖に向かってまっしぐら。出航時にはエンジンを使用しますが、沖にでたら帆をはって風をいっぱいに受けて走ります。波を乗り越えかなりの迫力です。船のへさきにネット状になったところがあり、そこに座ると波がすぐ下に見えて まるで自分がトビウオになったよう。(波しぶきをかなりかぶりますが・・・・)船のスタッフもフレンドリーで船長さんは日本語も話せます。まるで知り合いのヨットに招待されているような そんな気分でした。大きな船では味わえない風との一体感に本当に癒されました。

There were no Japanese staff members, but I felt reassured as they explained everything properly in Japanese.
The breakfast and light snacks were plentiful, with a great variety of bread and plenty of fruits, which made me very satisfied!
We went quite far out, and the ride there was pretty bumpy (depending on the wind strength)....
On the way back, we could enjoy a leisurely cruise. However, depending on where you stand, you might get splashed by the waves.
I was told we might see dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't see any this time.
The boarding point is just a short walk from the bus stop, making it easy to enjoy the cruise.
スタッフに日本人はいませんでしたが、きちんと日本語で注意等説明してもらえて安心でした。
朝食兼軽食は総菜パンなど盛りだくさん、フルーツも充実していて大満足♪
かなり沖まで出ますが、行きは結構揺れます(風の強さにもよりますが)・・・・
帰りはゆっくりクルージングを楽しめます。ただ、立ち位置によっては結構波で濡れるかもしれません。
イルカが見えるかも・・・って言われましたが今回は見れませんでした。
乗り場までバス停からすぐですし、気軽にクルージングが楽しめました。

The captain and the crew didn't speak any Japanese, so I boarded the ship feeling a bit anxious. However, the captain could speak broken Japanese and was kind and fun, which put me at ease. He let me take the helm and even took a commemorative photo with me. It became a great memory, and I was really happy about it.
The cruise itself was truly wonderful. At first, we enjoyed a thrilling ride with splashing waves, which I recommend for those looking for excitement. If you don't like scary experiences, you can stay inside the ship's cabin without any worries. As the sun began to set, we all admired the beautiful sunset together. During our trip, the participants were only couples, so the atmosphere on the ship was fantastic (laughs).
I think group participation can also be fun, but I especially recommend it for couples. Lastly, if I could suggest something, I felt that the selection at the appetizer bar was a bit limited, so I would be happy if they could add a few more items.
船長さんやクルーズの人達は、日本語を全く話さなかったので、大丈夫かなぁと不安を抱えながら乗船しました。
でも、船長さんは、カタコトで日本が話せるし、優しく楽しい方で安心しました。
舵を握らせてくれ、記念写真も撮ってくれました。
良い記念になりました。
凄く嬉しかったです。
クルーズ自体も、本当に良かったです。
最初は、波しぶきがあがるような激しいクルージングを楽しませてくれ、スリル感を味わいたい人達にもお勧めです。
怖いのが嫌な方は、船のキャビンの中にいれば大丈夫です。
日が暮れてくると、美しいサンセットを皆で眺めました。
私達の時は、参加者がカップルだけだったので、船自体が雰囲気抜群状態でした(笑)。
私は、グループの参加とかも楽しいと思いますが、カップルの人達には、特にお勧めです。
最後に、希望を挙げるとしたら、オードブルバーの品目がちょっと少なかった気がするので、もう少し増やして貰えると嬉しいです。

It was surprisingly fast, almost unbelievable that it was moving solely by the power of the wind after turning off the engine. I thought the captain might not understand Japanese, but he spoke it quite well, which made it unexpectedly enjoyable. I spent so much time outside looking at the sea that I hardly had time to eat any snacks, so it might be a good idea to order drinks as soon as you get on board...
エンジンを切ってから風の力だけで動いているとは思えないぐらいスピード感があった。
日本語が通じないのかと思ったけど船長さんは日本語ぺら?ぐらいだったので意外に楽しかった。
軽食なんて食べる暇がないぐらい外で海を見ていることが多かったので、飲み物は乗ったらすぐに注文したほうがいいかも・・・

It was my first time sailing on a yacht. Although the explanations were in English and I didn't understand them at first, I was grateful for the explanations given in Japanese later on. When the sails were raised, the speed increased significantly, and standing at the bow of the boat, I could feel the up-and-down motion and the speed, making it feel like I was one with the boat, which was enjoyable. The crew member who had spent a year in Shinjuku, Japan, was also fun, and I was able to take pictures with the captain, creating great memories.
初めてのヨットセーリングでした。英語の説明が有りわからないままでしたが、後で日本語で説明して頂き助かりました。
ヨットの帆をはるとスピードが、ぐんと上がり、船の先端に立っていると、船の上下動とスピードを感じ自分が船と一体になったようで楽しかった。
日本の新宿に一年間来たことのある船員さんも楽しく、船長さんとも写真をとって頂き良い思いでなりました。

I participated in the campaign today and just returned to my room. I arrived a bit late to the ticket booth due to traffic, and when I showed my voucher and apologized for being late, they told me there was still an hour left. I was surprised and listened to their explanation, which was that on Friday nights, the departure is delayed by an hour to watch the fireworks at Hilton. I checked my voucher thoroughly, but there was no mention of that anywhere. So, I killed an hour at the nearby Ward (this is why I deducted one star).
Once on board, there were no particular issues. The only other Japanese guests were my family and another family who had booked through ALAN and arrived an hour earlier. The staff were all friendly and pleasant. It seemed that there were no Japanese speakers at the ticket booth or on the ship today. The food was light snacks but tasted good (wrap sandwiches in soft tortillas, fried spring rolls, salad with pasta, and cookies). Drinks are free for up to two cups in exchange for tickets received during check-in. If you want more, you can order them for a fee.
Unfortunately, there were many clouds today, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset, but the Hilton fireworks were clearly visible. The ship stopped at a good position until the fireworks ended, and then headed towards the shore, so we disembarked around 8:30 PM.
As for the rocking of the boat, I felt it was more than I expected. However, when I asked the staff about the conditions today, they said there was less rocking. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. My family and I took some beforehand, so we didn't get seasick. I found this experience more enjoyable than a dinner cruise on a large ship.
本日キャンペーンを利用して参加、先ほど部屋に戻ってきました。
チケットブースへの到着が渋滞で少し遅れてしまい、バウチャーを見せて遅くなってすいませんと謝るとまだ1時間あるとのこと。
え?と思い話を聞くと、金曜の夜はヒルトンの花火を見るために出港が1時間遅いとのこと。バウチャーの隅から隅まで目を通しましたがどこにもそれについては書いてません。仕方がないので向かいのワードで1時間時間をつぶしました。(これが☆を一つマイナスした理由です)
乗船後は特に問題はありませんでした。お客さんはうちともう一家族(ALANで申し込んだ方でした。この方も一時間前に到着。)だけが日本人でした。
スタッフはみなさんフレンドリーで感じのよい方ばかりでした。日本語の出来る方はチケットブース、船内どちらも今日はいなかったようです。食事は軽食ですが味はよかったです。(やわらかい皮のトルティーヤに包まれたラップサンド、揚げた春巻き、パスタの入ったサラダ、クッキー)飲み物はチェックインの手続きの時にもらうチケットと引き換えに2杯まで無料です。それ以上欲しかったら有料で注文できます。
本日は残念ながら雲が多くてきれいなサンセットは見られなかったのですが、ヒルトンの花火はよく見えました。花火が終わるまで調度良い位置で停船していてその後岸にむかったので船から降りたのが8時半頃になりました。
あと心配していた揺れですが、私の感想は思ったより揺れたでした。が、スタッフの人に今日の状況を聞いたところ揺れが少ないとのこと。酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがいいかもしれません。我が家は私も子供二人も事前に飲んでおきましたので酔うことはありませんでした。
大型船の食事つきディナークルーズよりはこっちの方が楽しいと思いました。

I participated in this campaign. I was worried about transportation since I chose a plan without pick-up service, but I was able to walk from Honolulu to the location, and on the way back, even though I was concerned because the trolley ended early on Sunday, I walked to the Ala Moana Hotel and took a taxi from there, so it was totally fine.
As for the tour itself, my husband and I, who are not great with boats, were a bit nervous about the rough waves until we got out to sea, but once we were out and the boat stopped fighting the waves, we had a great time and ended up having fun on the deck. We could see the hotel district of Honolulu and Diamond Head all at once, and the blue ocean even had flying fish appearing occasionally—it was just wonderful! It was so enjoyable, and the light snacks were also very delicious. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. If you're hesitating, I highly recommend joining!
今回キャンペーンで参加させていただきました。送迎なしのプランで行き帰りの交通手段が心配だったのですが、行きはホノルルから歩いて現地まで行けましたし、帰りも日曜日でトロリーが早めに終わってしまって心配でしたがアラモアナホテルまで歩いてそこからタクシーに乗れたので全然OKでした。
肝心なツアーの内容ですが、船に弱い私たち夫婦は沖に出るまでの荒波に少々ビビリましたが、沖に出て船が波に逆らわなくなると楽しくて甲板に出てはしゃいでしまいました。とにかくホノルルのホテル街・ダイヤモンドヘッド等一望でき、青い海に時々飛び魚まで現れてくれてすばらしい!!の一言でした。こんなに楽しい上、軽食もとてもおいしくいただきました。またハワイに行ったら是非参加したいです。迷っている方は是非参加してみてください。

It was a participation through a campaign, but to be honest, it's definitely worth it even at the regular price. The small group yacht cruise made us feel very luxurious and rich. My children (ages 3 and 5) said it was the most fun out of all the tours we did this time. We took a lot of pictures on the sea, and it became a special memory for the kids. We were able to take many great photos that we can cherish forever.
キャンペーンでの参加でしたけど、はっきり言って、普通でもぜんぜんお得です。少人数でのヨットクルーズはとても贅沢でリッチな気分になれます。こども(3歳、5歳)も今回、いろいろ行ったツアーの中で一番面白かったと言ってます。海の上でたくさん写真を撮り、こどもたちには特別な記念となりました。ずっと大事にできるいい写真がたくさん撮れますよ。
