All Reviews for Leisure Day Sail & Scenic Boat Tour

This is my fourth time participating.
It's incredibly refreshing!
We often join on the last day of our trip.
We take off our sandals on the beach before boarding, and we go barefoot inside the catamaran.
Depending on the waves, you might get splashed!
Make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
If you're lucky, you might even see a honu (sea turtle).

3.4回目の参加になります。
何しろ気分爽快‼️
私たちはよく旅行最終日に参加します。
ビーチでサンダルを脱いで乗船になり、カタマラン内では裸足です。
波によってはビチャーッ❗なんてことも……
日焼け対策はしっかり！
運が良ければホヌ(海亀)も見れます。

I participated with my 9-year-old child.

It had been quite a while since I last rode a catamaran, so it was a nice change.

At this time of year, I think you don't have to worry too much about the weather, but since there was a hurricane, I wanted to see the beach as soon as we arrived in Hawaii, so I made a last-minute reservation.
It was fine to book the day before, and I received an immediate confirmation email. There were no issues with check-in on the day.

Boarding involved getting wet up to about my knees, and there’s a rule to shake off the sand from your sandals before getting on. The seating is first-come, first-served, but everyone was courteous and shared.

Once we set sail and headed out, we caught the wind. The front of the boat took quite a bit of spray, but that’s part of the fun of being on a catamaran.
While it was calm at the beach that day, there were significant waves offshore, and we glided over them.
The first half was quite an intense activity, but on the way back, we enjoyed a peaceful sail while taking in the views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki.
I was able to take some great photos.

The downside was the location.
Based on my old memories, I headed towards the Sheraton, but I couldn't get through from the pool area and had to take a long detour from the parking lot to reach it.
It seems like you could access it from Kai Market or around the pool, but it felt like it was limited to Sheraton guests.
It would be helpful if there were more detailed route instructions.

9歳の子どもと参加しました。

自分がカタマランは乗ったのは随分前で久々の参加でした。

この時期は天気の心配はあまりしなくていいとは思いますが、ハリケーンもあったのでハワイに着いてビーチの様子を見たくて、直前の予約となりました。
予約は前日でも大丈夫で、即OKのメールがきました。当日のチェックインも問題なかったです。

乗船は膝くらいまで濡れる感じで、サンダルは乗る前に砂を落としておくルール。座席は自由な感じで、早い者勝ちだけど譲り合いながら。

出航して沖に出ると風を受けて進みます。前方はかなり波を被りますが、それがカタマランの楽しさ。
この日はビーチだと穏やかでしたが、沖は結構な波で、滑空するように波を乗り越えます。
前半はかなり激しいアクティビティでしたが、後半の帰りはダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを眺めながら、穏やかなセイリング。
いい写真撮れました。

難点は開催場所。
昔の記憶でシェラトンの辺りに向かうとプールの辺りから通り抜けられず、駐車場の方から大回りしてたどり着きました。
カイマーケットか、プールあたりからはいけそうなんですが、シェラトンの宿泊者限定っぽい感じで。
ルート案内がもう少し情報があれば。

Sunday morning cruise. The captain and all the crew were women.

I participated because I wanted to view the hotels in Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea.

Just a little way out, and the color of the ocean changed to ocean blue, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful cruise.

Although it was indicated that only soft drinks would be available, alcoholic beverages were also served on board.

Completing the waiver and health check online in advance is more convenient and avoids any hassle.

日曜日の午前のクルーズ。キャプテン、クルーすべて女性でした。

ホノルルのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドなどを海から眺めたうと思い、参加しました。

少し沖に出るだけで、海の色がオーシャンブルーに変わり、素敵なクルーズを楽しめました。

ソフトドリンクだけと案内がありましたが、船上ではアルコール飲料も提供されてましたよ。

事前の免責同意書、ヘルスチェックはWebで済ませておく方が、面倒がありません。

It was amazing to be able to go around the back side of Diamond Head! The boat sways quite a bit, so those who are prone to seasickness should be careful. There was also alcohol available, but I didn't use it.

ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側まで回れて最高でした！船は結構揺れるので、船酔いされるかたは注意です。アルコールの提供もありましたが、利用はしていません。

The weather was nice, and the waves by the shore weren't too bad, but once we headed out to sea, raised the mast, and started sailing, the waves began to rise, and the thrilling experience of getting splashed was so much fun. We got quite wet, but by the time we returned to shore, we were completely dry. My husband and I talked about how if the price were a bit lower (it felt very much like Hawaii), we would be happy to go every time.

天気も良く岸辺の波は大したことはなかったのですが、沖合に出てマストを上げて航行が始まったころから何が高くなり始めてバッサーンと波を被りながらのヨット体験はとってもスリリングで楽しかったです。
結構濡れましたが岸に戻るころにはすっかり乾いていました。
もう少しお値段が安かったら（とてもHawaiiらしくて）毎回乗ってもいいねと主人と話しています。

This is my second time on the Kamataran. I repeated it because I had a great experience four years ago, and it was still amazing.

Last time, I encountered a pod of dolphins, which was a wonderful memory. This time, encountering sea turtles was the highlight!

今回2回目のカマタラン号
4年前に乗ったカマタラン号が良くてリピートしましたがやっぱり最高でした。

前回はイルカの群れと遭遇していい思い出。
今回は海亀と遭遇最高でした。

The two male crew members raising the sail were very cool, and with a happy song, we headed out to sea. The splashes of the waves were magnificent, the wind was pleasant, and I was moved by the majestic view of Diamond Head from the ocean. It was the best option for me. I will definitely ride again next time!

帆を揚げる2人の男性クルーがとてもcoolで、
ハッピーな曲とともに沖へ
波しぶきがとても豪快で、風も心地よく、
そして、沖から眺める雄大なダイヤモンドヘッドに感動
私にとって最高のオプションでした
次回も絶対乗ります‼️

There were just the two of us Japanese people, and while drinking Mai Tai for $5, we enjoyed a pleasant time on a cruise with the refreshing sea breeze that passed by in no time.

日本人は我々2人でした、マイタイ5ドルを飲みながら海風が気持ち良くてあっという間のクルーズで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

After six years, I went back to Hawaii, and I signed up again because I had such a great time last time!

Even though it was sailing, it was amazing to see dolphins and turtles, and the view from the sea was spectacular.

6年ぶりのHawaiiで、
前回楽しすぎて再び申し込みました！

セーリングとは言え、イルカやカメが見れたり、海側からの角度で一望できるので最高でした。

I was glad to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. The staff were very friendly and kind. I was satisfied with the simple plan and schedule because I wanted to take my time enjoying the views.

とてもきれいなハワイの景色が観れて良かったです。
スタッフの方ととてもフレンドリーで、親切でした。
景色をゆっくりみたかったので、シンプルなプランとタイムスケジュールで満足でした。

It was an affordable price, but with beautiful scenery and lovely boats, I was satisfied because I saw whales twice. Even when I got motion sickness, they responded quickly.

お手頃な値段だけど、綺麗な景色、綺麗なボートで、クジラが2回も見れたので、満足です。乗り物酔いになってしまった時も、素早い対応をしていただきました。

My elderly mother was able to relax and enjoy a comfortable time without worry. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was stunning against the blue sky.

高齢の母も安心して喜んでのんびりゆったりと快適な時間を過ごしました
海から見るワイキキとダイヤモンドヘッドは青空とともに絶景でした

This is a cruising experience around Waikiki from the beach in front of Sheraton Waikiki. The interaction between the captain and another crew member creates an extraordinary cruising experience.

シェラトンワイキキ前の ビーチから ワイキキを 一周するクルージングです。キャプテンともう一人の クルーの掛け合いと 異次元に感じる
クルージング感激です。

Starting from Waikiki Beach, you can have the best experience with the wind at your back. The waves are calm, and the breeze is pleasant—definitely recommended!

ワイキキビーチから出発して、風をうけて最高の体験ができる。波も穏やかで風が心地よく絶対おススメします。

What an amazing way to culturally connect with the indigenous peoples of Hawaii by sailing the beautiful waters like how our ancestors did. Amazing stories, singing, food and interactive activities and seeing the dolphins and honu (turtles) swimming alongside our wa’a (waka/ boat) was magical! We were well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and relaxed hospitality. Definitely recommend this to people who are looking for an authentic, educational and fun experience of Hawaii. Mahalo!

Yes, it's early. But, we LOVED the early sail. Less boats on the water and calmer ocean conditions. If you're looking for a unique cultural experience, this is it. We did the morning cruise and were the only 2 guests on the boat which was really cool. The boat limits capacity to 6-guests. As a local resident, I really liked how the two main hosts of the cultural experience and the Captain were Kamehameha graduates. This boat also offers midday cruises and sunset. Overall, the morning sail was calm and one of the truly unique sails here on Oahu.

Boarding right in front of the hotel. The staff was very energetic. We were able to relax while enjoying the waves and drinks. I got a nice tan as well. I want to ride again.

ホテルの目の前からの乗船。テンション高いスタッフ。波風やジュースなどをのみながらゆったりとまわれました。日焼けもしっかり。また乗りたいです。

We boarded the catamaran departing at 1 PM as a couple. People from various countries, including families with babies and elderly gentlemen, were on board. After taking an hour and a half to travel from Waikiki to near Diamond Head, we went west offshore until we could see Kaka'ako Waterfront Park before returning. The waves were quite high, causing some thrilling splashes, and the view from the sea was absolutely stunning! If you prefer not to get too wet, I recommend sitting towards the back. The male crew on the catamaran was very kind, always attentive to an elderly gentleman with mobility issues, and they helped him down the ladder slowly and safely at the end of the trip, which left a strong impression on me.

13時出発のカタマランに夫婦で乗船させて頂きました。赤ちゃん連れのファミリーから高齢のおじいちゃんまで色んな国の方々が乗船して１時間半かけてワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行った後、カカアコウォーターフロントパークが見えるくらいの沖合西へ行ってから戻るコースです。波が高いと結構揺れてスプラッシュも何度かありスリル満点で海から見る景色は最高です！あまり濡れたくない方は後ろ寄りに座るのがオススメ。カタマランの男性クルーがとても親切で、足の悪い高齢のおじいちゃんを常に気にかけてあげたり、最後下船する際も滑らないよう手を取ってゆっくりタラップ降りるフォローされていたのが印象的でした。

We were about ten people celebrating the wedding of one of the girls living in Hawaii. It was a great memory. The ship didn't sway much, so I wasn't worried about seasickness. Hawaiian beer is well chilled and costs around $4 to $5. You don't need marine shoes since you board barefoot. Be careful of sunburn. The boarding area is between the Sheraton and Halekulani. The girl at the reception doesn't speak Japanese, but she is friendly.

日本人は我々位でしたが、ハワイ在住の女のコたちの一人が結婚するとかで10人位でお祝いにて乗船しておりました。良い思い出です。船は揺れも少なく船酔いは心配ありません。ハワイのビールは４から5ドルでよく冷えてます。乗船時は裸足ですのでマリンシューズは必要ありません。日焼けは注意です。乗り場はシェラトンとハレクラニの間。受け付けの女のコは日本語はNGですがフレンドリー。

Just the best! I think Hilton is the number one. It felt so good. I even encountered dolphins, which was amazing. I will ride again.

もう、最高の一言！ヒルトンのが1番だと思います。とても気持ち良かったです。イルカにも遭遇出来て最高でした。また乗ります。

800 Year Fish Pond. Learned about predator fish. Cool Boat Ride with Blue Water and Awesome View of Chinaman’s Hat!

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。

It was written that masks should be worn, but everyone had them off. I think it would be reassuring if they could enforce safety measures a bit more thoroughly so that I could feel comfortable making a reservation.

マスク着用と書いてありましたが皆外してました。少し安全管理を徹底してもらえると安心して予約できると思いました。

Very reasonable priced glass bottom boat trip with a knowledgeable captain who told
great stories on the history of the area. His lovely wife even took a family photo for us with diamond head in the background.
We saw dolphins, turtles and lots of colourful fish.
The boat was clean and sanitised before we boarded. Free Water was provided and a toilet onboard.
Only negative is that It would have been wonderful if able to to go below deck to view under or From side viewing panels instead of Viewing down from the top.
I would recommend this trip for the views and experiences.

Reservations were fully booked for two days in advance, so same-day applications were not possible. I recommend making an early reservation. Before boarding, they asked if I had a fever and provided a paper to write down contact information in case of an accident.

When boarding, you need to take off your sandals. You will get wet up to your knees, so please wear something that can get wet. It's barefoot inside the boat. Many people wore swimsuits because of the splashes along the way. I brought a towel to dry my feet. There was a place to store luggage inside the boat. You can buy Mai Tais and juice on board, and there were restrooms available. I brought my own drinks, though. The staff took photos and were very friendly, making it a lot of fun!

予約が2日分先まで埋まっていて、当日の申し込みはできない状態でした。早めの予約をお勧めします。乗る前には熱がないかを聞かれたり、事故にあった場合の連絡先など書く紙がありました。
いざ乗るときにはサンダルを脱いで乗ります。膝くらいまでは濡れますので、濡れても良い格好で参加してください。船内は裸足です。途中しぶきで濡れるので、水着の方が多かったです。足を拭くタオルを私は持っていきました。船内に荷物を入れる場所はありました。船内では、マイタイやジュースを買うことができますし、トイレがありました。私は飲み物は持参しましたが、、。スタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれたり、気さくでとても楽しかったです！

Had a great time! Amazing and friendly staff. Enjoyed the views

I made a reservation because I had some time before check-in on the day of arrival. Dolphins swam close to the boat, and I even got to see whales nearby. They sell alcohol on board, so you can enjoy beautiful views while drinking! There were not many solo participants, but the crew was attentive, and there were no issues at all!

I would love to go again!

到着日にチェックインまで時間があったので予約しました。
イルカが近づいてきて船の横で泳いだり、クジラまで近くでみれました。酒も船内で売ってるので、飲みながら綺麗な景色が見れます！
ひとり参加は少ないですが、船員の方も気にかけてくれますし、全く問題ありませんでした！

また乗りたいと思います！

Super fun time and great view if Diamond Head, also loved the crew!

We had a very enjoyable trip near Waikiki to view fish and turtles. Our captain and guide were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where to take us to look at the animals. They provided lots of information about the fish as well as the area near which they were found. They were also very helpful with taking pictures with great backgrounds. The timing was just about right--not too long bringing on boredom in younger patrons, and not too short with no opportunities to actually see the animals in their natural habitat. It was a good experience for our entire group.

We did a sunset cruise with another boat but we strongly preferred this one! Our crew was all girls which I thought was amazing!! Amy was great. The drinks were good and they even offered snacks for the kids that were on the boat. It was a nice morning cruise and I recommend to anyone! And they let you go on the netting on this boat, unlike another one I went on.
