Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Great Time

Reviewed by: Sarah M

My family and I had a great time. We enjoyed the privacy and Chad and Kevin were great. It was a beautiful day. We explored, SUP, kayaked and floated. The only suggestion is that the details of where to meet need to be more explained.

Private Kaneohe Sandbar Speed Boat Rental with SUP & Snorkel – Captain Bruce

Worth every penny

Reviewed by: Minnie L

Our captain Ron was super friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, very kind to my old parents who knew limited English.

Service was great and every moment was enjoyable. The lunch setup was absolutely delightful and delicious.

It was so worth the price - for a small group, you get the customized experience that would last in everyone's memories.

I was able to see it. 見れました。

Reviewed by: Hale

On the first day, I couldn't see any whales and it was just a boat trip, but on the day I was able to go back for free, I got to see them up close. It was really moving.
Everyone around was foreign, and since Japanese wasn't understood, those who are not good at English might have a hard time with communication. The crew members were very polite.

最初の日はクジラに会えず、船旅だけでしたが無料で振り返えさせてした日はすぐに近くで見る事が出来ました。凄く感動しました。
周りは外国人ばかりで日本語は通じませんので、英語が苦手な方は振り返る連絡など苦労するかと思います。クルーの方は凄く丁寧です。

You should take motion sickness medication! 酔い止め飲んでおくべき!

Reviewed by: ゆみもん

I had a very precious experience being able to see a baby whale up close. My one-and-a-half-year-old daughter was with me, but she fell asleep during the boat's rocking. After she woke up, she was happy walking around the boat. I was satisfied that we also got to see dolphins at the end, but the boat was rocking a lot... A few people ended up getting sick, and my husband was fighting to hold it together. My daughter and I managed to be okay. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication!

赤ちゃんクジラも近くで観れてとても貴重な経験出来ました。
1歳半の娘も一緒でしたが、船の揺れで途中はお寝んね。
起きてからは船の中で歩いたりご機嫌でした。
最後にいるかも見れたので満足でしたが、
船が揺れて揺れて、、、
何人かリバースしてしまったり、主人もギリギリの戦いをしてました。
私と娘はなんとかセーフ。
酔い止め薬は飲んでおくべきだと思います!

I couldn't see the second try either. 二回トライも見れませんでした

Reviewed by: 裕ママ

I tried on January 2nd in the morning and January 3rd in the afternoon, but I couldn't see anything at all; it was just a cruise. It would have been nice if they could have taken us to spots where we could see dolphins or turtles when we couldn't see whales, but there was nothing at all.

It was tough as a parent to see my 7-year-old's disappointment. I think it would be good to have announcements about the likelihood of sightings and explanations of the spots, but they spoke optimistically, saying that it’s unpredictable, which was very disappointing.

1/2午前、1/3午後にトライしましたが、全く見れずに、ただのクルージングでした。クジラが見れないときは、イルカや亀など見れるスポットに連れていってくれるとかあれば良いのですが、全くなく。
GPSで探してるわけでもなく、7歳の子のガッカリを見ることになり、大変、親として辛かったです。
見える可能性の公表や、スポットの説明などがあると良いと思いますが、予測できないんだよ〜〜と楽観的に話されてて、とても、残念でした。

I will never participate again. もう二度と参加はしない

Reviewed by: たらむ

First, the pickup was 15 minutes late. Just as I was about to call because I couldn't wait any longer, they finally arrived, and of course, there was no apology. Next, when boarding the boat, it was so crowded that there were no seats at all. Our group of six had to stand both going and coming back. The staff completely ignored the fact that we were standing without seats. It was difficult to stand with the boat swaying, and when I tried to go towards the deck to grab the handrail, I was told I couldn't. I had no choice but to keep standing. A minute later, when a foreigner tried to go to the deck, the staff said nothing. So, we also moved to the deck. My wife's parents, who are elderly and have weak legs, were with us, and I think it's terrible to accept reservations when there are no seats available. Even though we were visible to the staff, they did nothing and even prevented us from going to the deck. Moreover, when we were sent back, there was no explanation, and we had no idea which car we were supposed to get into. At one point, they changed the route to drop off other customers, and for some reason, they started picking up new customers, leaving us anxious about when they would finally send us. They stopped for a long time near the Sheraton without any explanation, and since it seemed like we wouldn't be departing anytime soon, we had no choice but to get off and go shopping. It was truly the worst experience. I will never use this company's tour again.

まずピックアップは15分遅れ。待ちきれず電話しようとしたところでやっと到着、もちろん謝罪はない。つぎに船に乗る際人がいっぱいで、座るところが全くない。私たち6人のグループだけが行きも帰りも立ったまま。スタッフは我々が座れず立っているのに全く無視。ゆれて立っているのが大変なため船の手すりに捕まろうとデッキの方へ行こうとしたらダメと言われ、仕方なく立っていた。その1分後に外人がデッキへ行こうとしたらスタッフは何も言わず。なので我々もデッキへ移動。妻の親が参加しており老人で足腰弱いんだから、座る場所もないのに予約を受けるなんて最悪と思います。我々がスタッフに見えているにもかかわらず、なんの対応もせずデッキにすら行かせるのを邪魔して一体なんなんだと思います。しかも帰りの送りの際もなんの説明もなく、いったいどの車に乗ればいいのかさっぱりわからなかった。途中他の客の求めでコースを変えて降ろしていたし、何故か新たに客を乗せ出しているしいつになったら我々を送ってくれるんだとやきもきしました。途中シャラトンのそばでなんの説明もなくずっと停車しいつまで待っても出発しそうにない為、仕方なく我々は降車し買い物にでかけました。本当に最悪でした。二度とこの会社のツアーは利用しません。

I was able to see whales, and the male staff who spoke Japanese were really friendly, which was great. クジラも観れたし、日本語を話せるメンズスタッフもすごくフレンドリーでよかった。

Reviewed by: パクチーは絶滅すれば良い

The pickup time slightly exceeded the regulation stating, "If more than 10 minutes have passed since the meeting time, call the office," so I was wondering what to do when a cheerful guy and a colorful van appeared. We arrived at the harbor in about 15 minutes.

After signing a document stating that I understood, "Even if you don't see whales, if the boat sinks or if you flirt and die, we won't provide compensation, and it's at your own risk," I boarded the ship.

The boat was clean and spacious. Additionally, there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, which eased my concerns about the upcoming experience. They were very friendly. Alcohol and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there were two restrooms available, so no worries there.

However, even though the waves were calm, the boat rocked quite a bit, so for those who get motion sickness, I think it would be a 200% chance of getting sick, and even taking motion sickness medication might not help, so it might be better to give up.

On the way out to the open sea, we couldn't spot any whale spouts, so I was somewhat resigned, but while cruising with a beer in hand, watching passenger planes flying overhead in the open waters of Waikiki, I thought it was a nice vacation vibe and good content. Then, on the way back, we discovered a whale spout.

The deck erupted in excitement. After that, we were lucky enough to see multiple whales performing dives and spouting, which was thrilling.

I would say it was a very enjoyable tour experience.

I would recommend it to those who don't get seasick and can enjoy the cruise even if they don't see whales.

If you see a whale, consider yourself lucky.

ピックアップの時間が若干、レギュレーションにある「待ち合わせ時間に10分以上経過した場合は事務所に電話をしろ」という時間を超えていたので、どうしたもんかと思ったところ、陽気なにーちゃんとカラフルなバンが登場。15分程度でハーバーに到着。

「クジラが見えなくても、船が沈没したり、ナンパして、死んでも、おれんところは補償しないし、免責だぜ、」ということを理解しました、という内容にサインしてから乗船。

船は清潔で、広々としてる。さらに日本語を上手に操るスタッフのメンズがいて、今後の流れへの不安は払拭。とてもフレンドリー。
お酒やソフトドリンクも飲み放題。トイレも二つ備え付けなので、心配なし。

ただ、波は穏やかでも、船はそれなりに揺れるので、乗り物酔いする人は200%酔うので、酔い止めを飲んでも効かないレベルだと思うので、諦めた方がいいかもしれない。

外洋まで行く、往路ではクジラの潮吹きを見つけられなかったので、半ば諦めつつも、ビール片手に、ワイキキの外洋を、上空をかすめる、旅客機を見ながらのクルージングは、それはそれで、バカンス感もあり、コンテンツとしても良いかなと思っていた、往路で、クジラの潮吹きを発見。

甲板が一斉に盛り上がる。その後、運良く、複数のクジラが営業ダイビングや、営業潮吹きをしてくれて、盛り上がる。

大変楽しいツアーコンテンツだったと評せる。

船酔いをしない、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングだと思って楽しめる人にはオススメしたい。

クジラが観れたら、それは、ツイてた、ということで。

Maitai Catamaran Waikiki Private Boat Charter

Best Office Holiday Party Ever!

Reviewed by: Wrob

We chartered a catamaran for our office holiday party, and it was the perfect relaxing, fun, and unusual activity for a wonderful time! The two men who captained the boat and tended the bar did a wonderful job! We enjoyed the beauty of being out on the water with excellent beverage service (great maitais!) and nice waves splashing the kids who sat on the net. We would recommend it highly not just for office parties, but for any group. It's a wonderful icebreaker or memory maker activity! We have a lot of diversity of personalities in our office, but everyone had a great time!

  • Sunset sail with a maitai in hand for me, and a soda for the kids!

  • Looking back to shore after sunset with a beautiful Honolulu city skyline to enjoy.

Great Tour!

Reviewed by: JTran

This is my second time going to Oahu but was traveling with friends who have never gone. One was really interested in whale watching so we saw links for the Honi Olani Catamaran Sail and decided to try this one out. We're super glad we did because this was such a great tour!

The staff are extremely friendly and they provide such a great experience. The first time we went, we didn't see any whales but that may have been because of the strong waves and number of boats sailing around which might have scared them away.
Regardless of seeing whales, the cruise was awesome. It was really nice to be able to feel the sun on the catamaran and have a nice beverage while we enjoyed the weather. The tour was nice to give us a free voucher to ride again to see if we can spot whales the second time and we did! We ended up seeing a mother whale teaching her male calf how to breach!

I would definitely cruise again with this crew when I come back to Oahu. Mahalo for the great experience guys

FUN TIME!

Reviewed by: Stephanie M.

We went on the afternoon cruise on Valentine's Day 2016 that was suppose to leave at 3 p.m. We ended up leaving about 15 minutes late because we had to wait for a van coming from Waikiki with more riders and they were late. We did see whales about 2 miles off the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel. The crew was very friendly and we enjoyed the open bar. It was like a whale watching party on someone's private boat! We had so much fun, that we booked the 5:30 p.m. boat cruise that very same day! Again, the only disappointment was that the boat was suppose to depart at 5:30 p.m., but this time it did not depart until 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes later!) because again, we were waiting on a van that had gone to hotels in Waikiki to pick up more riders and they were late due to traffic. Our boat cruise was cut short by 45 minutes and we only stayed out on the ocean until 7 p.m. so we felt cheated out of ocean time. Again, the crew was friendly but when I pay to spend time on the ocean, I expect and want to spend the entire one and a half hours on the ocean. In the future, I would suggest to the boat company, not to wait for a late van of riders and penalize those who were on time. Or, make sure that your riders get their full time on the ocean by staying out longer if you depart late.

Nice people - no whales

Reviewed by: smdaniela

The crew were very pleasant and helpful, somewhat informative. Drinks were available to anyone who wanted them that early in the morning, and there were many who did. Unfortunately,only a few tails sighted. Boat/captain only went about 3 miles out, where every other boat had gone to whale watch - and no one had any luck. I'm guessing a combination of too many boats, too much noise, and the slight delay in migration everyone talked about b/c of el Nino.

Rainbow watching instead of whale watching. クジラの代わりにレインボーウォッチング

Reviewed by: TKD

The season had just started, and due to bad weather with rain, we unfortunately didn't encounter any whales. However, a big rainbow appeared over the hotels at Waikiki Beach...! In a different way, we enjoyed the cruise.

Before disembarking, they gave us a "one more boarding ticket for this season." If you're really hoping to see whales, consider scheduling your trip early in your stay to allow for a re-challenge. (It seems that reboarding reservations can only be made by phone and are available in English.)

This time, the weather was rough, and the boat rocked quite a bit... It was easier to stand and hold onto the railing to manage the swaying rather than sitting down. The crew was very attentive to those who felt unwell.

Given the early season we had low expectations on whale spotting, but we were at least looking forward to a great boat ride on the ocean. And we sure got that.
After about 20 minutes we spotted the first whale air blowout and there were many more. Finally two North Pacific Hump Back whales surfaced and dove down again, showing their tailfins. Great experience, great weather, great boat trip.

It was my first time whale watching, and it happened to be the first day of the season. Despite the light rain and high waves, I was starting to think it might not happen when a whale appeared. It was just a brief sighting, but I was lucky.

What surprised me even more was that all the staff and participants were foreigners. There were only two Japanese people, my wife and me. The foreign staff were chatting away before we set sail, but I couldn't understand a word.

Also, there was a couple with a 6-week-old baby and a 4-year-old child among the guests, and both of them were drinking champagne as soon as we set off. That’s something you wouldn't see in Japan. It was full of surprises!

Great Time

My mom and I are seasoned travelers to Hawaii. We enjoy whale watching but this was our first time on this Waikiki Whale Watch Sail.

Our driver picked us up on time and was courteous and professional.

We sailed on the Honi Olani. It is a 45 passenger boat but for our tour there were only a dozen or so guests. We were given safety instructions and then we headed out to search for whales!

Captain Chad seemed very experienced and knowledgeable about the humpback whales and their patterns. He knew how long they would be down and which direction they were headed.

We spotted 2 whales and stayed with them most of the tour. The whales dive down and then come back up every so often for air. We saw the other large whale watching boats but we were closer than them and able to turn quicker and get to the whales when they popped back up.

We also saw green sea turtles, spinner dolphins and flying fish.

The boat has bathrooms on board and snacks were provided. There was fresh orange and apple, chex mix and granola bars. There is a covered area in case of inclement weather. The drinks were free for sodas and $1 or $2 for alcohol.

The crew was great. Chad, Jacob and Chad were more than happy to talk to you about the beautiful Hawaiian Islands and all they have to offer.

Our tour lasted a few minutes longer than expected because we came upon the pod of spinner dolphins. Nobody on board had conflicting plans so we were able to prolong the tour a bit.

Upon arrival to Waikiki our drive was able to drop us at a different location to do some shopping! It wasn't far from our hotel yet it saved our tired feet and legs.

I do recommend this tour to others. It would be great for any age. There were senior and young children alike on our sail. The little ones enjoyed the nets in the front of the boat. And the seniors were able to sit in the covered area to rest. I'll definitely be going out on the boat again on my next visit to Waikiki.

Great time

I recommend the whale watching with Hawaii Nautical. The crew was fabulous and very friendly. We got lucky because our family was the only one on board that day. We saw some green sea turtles and some spinner dolphins but the whales were very elusive that day. The captain tried his best and even gave us some extra time to try and catch sight of some whales. He felt very bad that we did not get to see some whales up close. We were not disappointed, we just enjoyed the cruise. But he gave us some coupons for another free trip with them anyways. Next time we are in Hawaii, we will go with them again for sure!

Waiiki Whale Watch Cruise

Reviewed by: Sharon & Jim

Dave and the crew of the Honi Olani catamaran were very friendly and welcoming to their tour guests. We enjoyed our late morning cruise on a bright, sunny day which featured panoramic views of Honolulu, Waikiki and Diamond Head.
Unfortunately, following a through search with all eyes focused on the horizon, we did not see any whales during our late in the season (end of March) cruise. We did see several sea turtles which thrilled the children on board.
At the end of the cruise we received vouchers for another Hawaii Nautical tour which we plan to use on our next visit to Hawaii.
Although we didn't see any whales we would recommend this tour - how often do you have the opportunity to take a catamaran cruise in Hawaii!
