Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation
Really wonderful sunset cruise!
Posted on: 2008/05/27

We went on the sunset cruise. Even though the sky overcast and the waters were choppy for part of the trip, we still had an amazing time!

Food was average but yummy, served buffet style: chicken wraps, pasta salad, spring rolls, cookies.

Great, friendly, helpful crew. Good middle-ground between a fancy dinner cruise and simple booze cruise. This is the only catamaran cruise I found that actually offers food...and for about the same price as the others that only offer alcohol.

Would definitely recommend!

absolute lovely
Posted on: 2008/05/26

I decided to take a trip to hawaii and include this lovely romantic cruise ship for my boyfriend's 30th birthday.If was very intimate and romantic. We absolutely loved the experience and the staff. Kalani and Joe were such a joy. I would strongly recommend the 5 star honolulu dinner cruise to any couple celebrating a special or intimate event.

I participated with a female friend. Inside the park, there is one guide for about ten people in a group. Our guide was a 23-year-old named Steve who spoke fluent Japanese. I was surprised to hear that 80% of the employees at the Polynesian Cultural Center are students from the nearby university. The guide was excellent, and the dancers were truly professional!

In the Hawaiian village, we also got to experience hula dancing. The show after dinner was absolutely amazing! We were seated in the third row from the front, right in the center of the stage! They showcased not only hula dancing but also dances from various countries. I especially loved the Tahitian dance. The girls' hip movements were truly beautiful. The audience was also incredibly excited about the fire dance! It was just amazing!

I highly recommend going at least once if you visit Hawaii. Also, I heard that the dancers from here recently came to Japan and performed in Odaiba.

女友達と2人で参加しました。園内では10人ほどのグループに1人のガイドさんがついて案内してくれます。私たちのガイドさんは、日本語ペラペラの23歳スティーブ君でした。ポリネシアカルチャーセンターの従業員は8割は隣接している大学の学生さんだそうです。それを聞いてびっくりなほど、ガイドも上手だし、ダンサーも本当にプロです!!
ハワイ村ではフラダンス体験もさせてもらいました。
ディナー後のショーはマジで最高!!!私たちは、ステージど真ん中、前から3列目の席でした!!フラダンスだけではなくて、各国のダンスを見せてくれます。特に私はタヒチアンダンスが大好きでした。女の子の腰つきは本当美しかったです。あと客席が大興奮だったのはファイアーダンス!とにかくすごい!
ハワイに行ったら絶対一度は行く事をオススメします。あと、この前ここのダンサーさんたちが来日してお台場でやってたそうですよ。

I participated in this as a way to create memories with a friend who is leaving Hawaii, and it was a pleasant sailing experience with great weather.

The staff was very accommodating, and the snacks provided were delicious, which made me very satisfied.

Above all, as a woman, what made me happiest was that the restrooms were clean! This is definitely a high point.

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to relax and fully enjoy Hawaii!

It was a bit windy on the day, but the atmosphere was quite nice, and we enjoyed it for about two hours. However, the food was just a light snack. My parents in their 70s also found it amusing.

Luxury catamaran Makani afternoon sailing
豪華カタマラン マカニ号 アフタヌーン セーリング
Posted on: 2008/05/08

The sunset sailing on Friday was fully booked, so I participated in the afternoon sailing instead. We were the only Japanese people there, but the captain spoke Japanese well, so there were no issues at all. While luxury cruise ships are nice, feeling the waves and wind directly on a yacht is the best! I absolutely recommend it!

金曜日のサンセットセーリングが満席だったので、アフタヌーン セーリングに参加しました。
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、キャプテンが日本語が上手で、全然問題ありませんでした。豪華客船もいいけどヨットで波と風を直接に感じれて最高!絶対おすすめ!

More than I expected.
思った以上に
Posted on: 2008/05/07

I have been to Honolulu over a dozen times, but I had a strange preconceived notion and had never considered going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. However, this time, since I am also learning Hawaiian dance (hula) and was able to participate alone with some freedom, I decided to go. Although the reservation deadline on the website had passed, they provided a contact for those in such situations. I reached out two days before my desired participation date, and they confirmed my reservation with a pleasant response, allowing me to participate comfortably. The atmosphere inside the center was very authentic, and the dancers who performed were all highly professional, which was quite surprising. Thanks to this, I was able to have a great time. The dinner buffet was all-you-can-eat, and the taste was quite good. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is a repeat visitor to Hawaii.

ホノルルへはも十数回行っていますが、変な先入観でこのポリネシアン文化センターは一度も行こうとしてませんでしたが今回、ハワイアンダンスのフラも習っていることもあり一人参加で自由もきいたので行くことを決めました。予約はサイトで取扱期限が過ぎてましたがそういった人にも対応していただける連絡先も書いてまして参加希望日、二日前でしたが予約して折り返しの確認も連絡していただき気持ちよく参加できました。センター内はとても現地の雰囲気も出ていて登場するダンサーもかなりのプロ意識を持っている方々ばかりで驚きばかりでした。おかげで楽しく過ごすことができました。ディナーのビィッフェですが食べ放題なのに味もいけてました。ハワイリピーターの方にも一度は参加をお勧めできるツアーでした。

A review
Posted on: 2008/04/30

This cruise was short of wind and so no sails - on fault of the crew of course but it was disappointing. The crew was very good. The sun set was average. I was impressed with the boat itself. Nonetheless, we had a great time and would recommend it.

On a company trip♪
社員旅行で♪
Posted on: 2008/04/25

It's a small company, but I was entrusted with organizing the event for our last night in Hawaii, and we participated in the Twilight plan.

Our group was a mix of Hawaii repeat visitors and first-timers, but since no one had been to the Polynesian Cultural Center, we decided on that.

During the day, everyone enjoyed shopping and water activities, and although we only had the show at night, it was very exciting, and everyone was fast asleep on the bus ride back (laughs).

小さな会社なのですが幹事を任されて、ハワイ最後の夜のイベントとして、トワイライトのプランに参加しました。

ハワイリピーターから、はじめての人などバラバラのメンバーでしたが、ポリネシア文化センターは、誰も行ったことがなかったので、決めました。

昼間はショッピングに海遊びで各自遊びまわり、夜からショーだけでしたが、非常に盛り上がり、帰りのバスはみんな熟睡でしたね(笑)

I went with my elementary school son, uncle, aunt, and parents, so we rented a car and drove to the Polynesian Cultural Center, which is located on the opposite side of the island from Waikiki.

My elderly parents found the guided tour interesting, and since it was their first time in a foreign country rather than just Hawaii, the reactions from the staff seemed very fresh to them.

The evening show was also very impressive. I actually thought it would be similar to the shows seen on cruises, but I was completely wrong!

We got to see a fire dance, there were many dancers, and it was full of excitement! I want to go again.

小学生の息子と叔父叔母や両親と、家族での参加だったので、レンタカーを借りてドライブしながら、ワイキキとはちょうど島の反対側にあるポリネシア文化センターに行って来ました。

年取った両親も園内見学ツアーは興味深いものだったらしく、ハワイがというよりも外国がはじめてだった両親には、スタッフの方のリアクションとかがとても新鮮だったようです。

夜のショーも見応えタップリで、実はクルーズで見られるショーと変わらないと思っていたのですが、大間違い!

ファイヤーダンスは見られるし、ダンサーの数が多いし、迫力満点でした!また行きたいと思います。

What a great cruise!
Posted on: 2008/04/23

We had SUCH a wonderful time aboard this catamaran! The Captain and crew were friendly and efficient, the food was good and plentiful, the drinks were well made, and the view was just stunning! The light dinner (turkey wraps, pasta, and spring rolls with a cookie for desert) was plentiful and good quality, very fresh. The 3 free drink coupons we had were just the right amount, we didn't even need to buy more drinks. The bartender did a good job, the mixed dinks were well made. There is even a plasma TV on board with a video of underwater shots of fish if you prefer to stay below deck! The Vessel is very well kept and clean, quite comfortable, and lots of viewing space! It was a wonderful way to finish out out week in Hawaii~! The fireworks were beautiful, but short, but the view couldn't have been more lovely!
