All Reviews for Waikiki Afternoon Happy Hour Cruise

The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. The guys on the boat kept us entertained with their singing and antics. Well worth the money and time spent. Don't forget sunscreen though.

At first, I thought there were about 50 people on board. There were only us and one other group of Japanese people. There wasn't any special event, but the food was delicious, and we got to see Diamond Head, surfers, the sunset, and since we went on a Friday, we also saw the Hilton fireworks. It was really great! Initially, I had booked a different tour, but it got canceled when we entered the dry dock, so I chose this tour instead. I highly recommend it and plan to go again next year.

最初思いましたが、結構50人位乗っていたような？気がします。、
日本人は私たちともう１組のみでした～
何か催しものがあるわけではないのですが、ご飯もおいしかったし、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サーフィンする人たち、夕日、さらに、金曜日に行ったのでヒルトンの花火も見れたし～本当によかったです！
最初は実は別のツアーを予約していましたが、ドライドックに入るとキャンセルになり
こちらのツアーにしましたが、おすすめだし、来年も行こうと思います。

The trip was fun and nice, totally worth more than the price! We had a great time.

I had a great time drinking beer. It would have been even better if they had done a little more cruising after the fireworks.

ビールも飲めてチョー楽しかったです。花火が終わった後、もうちょっとクルーズをしてくれたらもっと良かったなあ。

did not make it out as it was too windy but company was great to deal with

Great staff, nice cat, cheap drinks! Can't compain :)

Very nice outing. Unfortunately no whales or Dolphins were seen! We did see flying fish which was exciting for the children.

We headed to the location by rental car, but we were running late. However, seeing that we were in a hurry, the boat staff waited for us a little. Onboard, there were many families, and when the boat started moving, it felt a bit chilly, but once we entered the cabin, it was fine. The fireworks were very beautiful. Although they weren't as powerful as I expected, the view of Waikiki was stunning.

レンタカーで、現地まで向かったが、出発時刻より、時間が過ぎていた。
しかし、急いでいる私たちを見て、船のスタッフが少し待ってくれました。
船上は、家族連れもたくさんいて、船が動きだすと、少し肌寒く感じましたが、船内に入れば、問題無し。花火は、とてもきれいでした。
思っていたより花火に迫力がなかったですが、ワイキキが見渡せて、とてもきれいでした。

This is a great family activity and everyone to enjoy.

Originally I was planning to join sunset sailing, but it was full and jointed daytime sailing. It was one of the best experience while I was staying in Waikiki. Beautiful view and great time with fun crews

We were the only Japanese people. When we arrived at the location, the small boat was completely different from what I had imagined. And there was a restaurant that looked like a ruin right next to it. At first, I felt really anxious. Is this okay? Is this the right place? But after completing the procedures, it seemed to be correct. Despite my worries, we started!!

The boat allowed us to feel the waves and wind, which was really pleasant! Since there were no other Japanese people, it really felt like we were overseas! It was a fun experience that you definitely can't have on a two or three-story boat. It was like an adventure! We were also able to see the fireworks clearly, which made me very satisfied. It was an incredibly casual night cruise with a great sense of openness. I'm very satisfied!

日本人は私たちのみ。現地に到着するとイメージしていた船とは全く異なる小さな船が。そして廃墟のようなレストランがすぐそばに。最初とっっっても不安になりました。これは、大丈夫か？と。合ってるの？
と。でも手続きをしたら合っている模様。不安になりながらもスタート！！
波と風を感じられる船でとっても気持ちが良い！日本人がいないので海外にきてるなー！という感じ。二階建てや三階建ての船では絶対に体験できない楽しさ。まるでadventure！花火もしっかりと見ることができ大満足。開放感抜群のカジュアルすぎるナイトクルーズ。満足です！

Beautiful scenery... Friendly, courteous guides... Great time.... Too short!

I highly recommend this tour for those who are proficient in English or currently studying it! It was the tour where I felt the most like I was abroad, with mostly Westerners participating. It was delightful to enjoy the beautiful sunset with people from around the world. The music playing added to the charm! I found myself enjoying the tunes of Michael Jackson and the Beach Boys, and I ended up drinking a bit too much and getting a little tipsy. Haha!

英語が堪能な方や、勉強中の方に特におすすめ！欧米人がほとんどのツアーで、海外に来た感が一番感じられたツアーでした。美しいサンセットを、世界の方々と堪能できて心地よかったです。音楽がかかっていることも魅力！Michael Jacksonや、Beachboys、気持ちよくてついつい飲みすぎて酔いすぎました。笑

We had a good time nice fun ride would do it again next visit and recommend it to friends as well. Thank you

Highly recommend, nice for all ages. Great service from Veltra.

Really enjoyed this ride. We saved it for our last day in Hawaii. The water was beautiful. Plenty of room on the boat for maybe 30 people. I counted 23 but it didn't feel crowded at all. They serve drinks and play music.

I took my children (1 year old, 3 years old, 5 years old) with me.
We gathered in front of Outrigger Reef, but there were no signs or anything.
You have to show your voucher to a foreigner who seems to be in charge.
All the instructions are in English.
Perhaps due to the season, the other passengers on board were all foreigners besides us.
It was windy that day, and once we went out to sea, we got splashed a lot by the high waves.
It gets cold, so long sleeves are a must.
I think those with small children should consider whether to participate.
Adults will enjoy it!

子供(1歳、3歳、5歳)を連れて行きました。
OutriggerReefの前に集合ですが、特に看板等は出ていません。
それらしき外国人にバウチャーを見せるしかありません。
案内は全て英語です。
時期的なのか、乗船したお客さんも私達以外、外国人でした。
当日は風が強く沖に出ると高波で、水しぶきをたくさん浴びました。
冷えるので、長袖は必需です。
小さい子連れの方は参加を考えた方が良いと思います。
大人は楽しめますよ！

I think it's a great deal compared to other similar services in Hawaii. The staff on the board were friendly and very good. The meeting place was on the beach, so it was a bit hard to find, but I'm satisfied.

ハワイ内の他の同サービスの物と比較すると格安と思います。ボードのスタッフはフレンドリーでとてもよかったです。待ち合わせ場所がビーチなので、少し見つけづらかったですが、満足です。

I participated because I could see the Hilton fireworks from the sea. There were not many Japanese people, but I was surprised to see many couples with small children (or rather, babies) and pregnant women. Since it was a small boat, the rocking was quite strong, so I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. At the start, we could see the sunset, and after the sun went down, we enjoyed the night view of Waikiki, the moon, light snacks, and cocktails. The snacks were limited in quantity, so make sure not to miss out. I participated in mid-October and brought a windbreaker just in case, but since the weather was nice, I was fine without anything over my sleeveless top. The fireworks lasted for about ten minutes, but they could be seen without any obstructions from the sea. This tour was more affordable than a cruise on a large ship, and since it was a small boat, it was nice to enjoy it with a small group. However, one thing to note is that the pickup location was at Hyatt Regency, which is also a departure point for many other optional tours, leading to a big crowd with large buses and other tour participants, making it very time-consuming to find my tour's pickup vehicle.

ヒルトンの花火を海から見れるということで参加。日本人は少なかったですが、小さな子供（というよりむしろ赤ちゃん連れ）や妊婦さんのカップルがたくさんいてびっくり。小さい船なので揺れは結構は強めなので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めが必須と思う。スタート時は夕日が見られ、日が沈んだ後はワイキキの夜景や月の鑑賞、軽食とカクテルも楽しめた。軽食は量が限らているので、取り遅れないように。10月中旬の参加で、念のためウィンドブレーカーを持って行っていたが、天気が良かったせいかノースリーブのまま上にはおるものがなくても平気だった。花火の時間は10数分ですが、海側からなんのさえぎりもなく見られます。大型船でのクルーズよりはお得で、また小さい船なので少人数でゆっくりみられるこのツアーはよかったです。ただ一つ言えば、送迎のピックアップ場所がハイアットリージェンシーだったが、そこはほかの多くのオプショナルツアー出発場所にもなっていて、大型バスとほかのツアー参加者とで大混雑、自分のツアーの送迎車が来たのかどうかを見つけるのが非常に時間がかかった。

After just arriving in Waikiki two days earlier this was a great way to relax with the family. Would certainly recomend doing the crew were great and the music was fantastic.

It was a very cost-effective and enjoyable tour. The sailing was pleasant with a nice breeze, and I had no worries. Most importantly, I got to encounter nearly ten dolphins and two graceful turtles. It's not guaranteed that you'll always meet dolphins and turtles, but I participated in the tour hoping to see them, and I was able to create wonderful memories. I would definitely like to join again when I go to Hawaii.

非常にコストパフォーマンスの高い楽しいツアーでした。セーリングは風が気持ちよく、不安もなく、何よりも10頭近いイルカと優雅に泳ぐカメ2ひきに出会うことができました。イルカやカメとはいつも出会えるとは限らないそうですが、きっと会えると思ってツアーに参加したら、最高の思い出を作ることができました。また、ハワイに行くときは再度参加したいと思っています。

I participated in the 3 PM session. Like everyone else's experiences, we were the only Japanese people, and everything was conducted in English. It seemed that there were many acquaintances of the crew, possibly due to the low number of customers.

Because of that, the splashing service was intense, and we ended up completely soaked. My husband's beer apparently didn't taste like seawater.

I didn't drink, but being soaked and drinking would make me want to go to the bathroom, so it seemed tough for my husband.

The experience was thrilling, a bit chaotic, and had a foreign vibe that was interesting. I would like to ride again.

15時の回に参加しました。　皆様の体験談　同様　私達の時も日本人は私達だけで　
全て　英語で話しが進み　お客さんが少ないのか　船員さんのお知り合いが　沢山いらっしゃったようです。　　

そのせいか　水しぶきサービスが　半端なく　全身びじょびじょで　主人の持っていた
ビールは　海水の味しなかったらしいです。

わたしは　飲みませんでしたが　びしょ濡れで飲むとトイレに行きたくなるので　主人は　大変そうでした。

体験は　スリルもあり　なーなーさもあり　外国っぽくて面白かったです。
また　乗ってみたいです。

My first time in Hawaii!! Sailing is a must!
I chose the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran from various options.
The sea breeze cutting through the wind felt amazing, and I was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat.
Seeing turtles and dolphins up close was truly moving! (^^)!

I also love the photos taken before boarding! They make a great memory.

I even recommended it to complete strangers! (^^)!
If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate!

初めてのハワイ！！セーリングは外せない！
いろんなオプションの中から選んだワイキキリガー・カタマラン号
風を切って走る海風はとても気持ちよく
船上から見えるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色にも大満足ですが
まじかで見るカメやイルカには感動しました!(^^)!

乗船前に撮ってもらった写真も気に入ってます！！いい記念になります。

全く知らない人にも勧めてしまいました!(^^)!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対参加します！

I wanted to see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, so I joined a catamaran tour. The sailing lasted an hour and a half, and we went quite far out. The sea changed from emerald green to deep blue... Since I joined at 3:00, there were few people, and I sat in a netted area, but when the waves came, I got soaked. Our family was the only Japanese group, and although we couldn't speak English, we somehow felt like we made friends by just saying "wow" and "yay." My face and hair got all salty and messy from the seawater and sea breeze, but it was a lot of fun. (However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a bit tough.)

ワイキキのホテル群を海から見たい、カタマランに乗りたいと思って参加しました。　１時間半のセイリングなので、だいぶ沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました。　海はエメラルドグリーンから紺碧の色に…　　３：００からの参加だったからか、人数が少なく、網の状態の場所に座りましたが、波が来ると、ビショビショになります。　日本人は我々家族だけで、英語は話せませんが「ワーキャー」言っていると何となくお友達になれたような気分になりました。　海水と潮風で、顔も髪の毛もバリバリ（？）になりましたが、とても楽しかったです。　（ただし、乗り物に弱い方はちょっとつらいかもしれません。）

It was a blast. Capt Mike made it fun, fast and exciting. We had a great time sitting on the net area while the catamaran screamed across the swell.

The weather was nice, and it was a comfortable cruising experience. However, the commentary was only in English, so I didn't understand it well. I think it would have been more enjoyable with explanations in Japanese.

天候もよく快適なクルージングでした。ただ、解説が英語のみでしたのでよくわかりませんでした。日本語の説明があればもっと楽しかったと思います。

This is my third time using the catamaran. The first time I rode it, I got soaked from the splashes and it was quite impactful and fun, so I was looking forward to using it again when I went to Hawaii. However, the second time there were no waves at all and it was boring, but I thought I would give it another try for the third time. Unfortunately, this time there were also no waves and it was too boring. I probably won't use it again.

　カタマラン号の利用は３回目です。
初めて乗った時は波しぶきがかかってびしょぬれになりかなりインパクトがあり
楽しかったのでハワイへ行った時は利用しようと楽しみにしていましたが、二回目は
全く波もなく退屈でしたが、今度こそと思って三回目の申し込みをしました。
今回も波がなく退屈すぎました。
多分もう利用しないと思います。

Really fun. Would definitely do it again. The captain played great music too!!

I participated with three friends from my student days. One of them, who I hadn't seen in ten years, requested, "I want to see the sunset on a boat!" Since it was a special occasion, I thought it would be nice to surprise her with the Hilton fireworks, so I chose this tour on Friday. Most of the participants that day were from Europe and America, with just the three of us Japanese and four people from Korea from Asia. The guidance and instructions were in English, but we managed... The sunset came early in the season, so the wait was long and cold, but the night view of Waikiki from the sea was beautiful, and the fireworks were amazing. My friend was very happy. It's a tour that I hope many people can enjoy, so be sure to dress warmly!

学生時代の友人3名で参加しました。その中のハワイ10年ぶりの友人の「船上でサンセットが見たい！」のリクエストでした。せっかくなので彼女にサプライズ（？）で、ヒルトンの花火を見せてあげたいと思って金曜日のこのツアーにしました。当日の参加者はほとんど欧米の方で、アジアからは私達3名の日本人と4名の韓国の方でした。案内も注意事項も英語ですが、なんとか・・。サンセットの時間が早い季節だったのでそれまでの時間が長く寒かったけど、洋上から見るワイキキの夜景はきれいだったし・・花火は最高でした。友人もとても喜んでくれました。寒さ対策をして、沢山の方に楽しんでいただきたいツアーです！

The weather was perfect, and I had a wonderful time. It felt amazing. I had read in the reviews that I might get wet, so I brought a change of clothes, but perhaps because the waves were calm, I didn't get wet at all. It turned out we were the only Japanese people there, which was actually nice. I couldn't communicate in Japanese at all... The meeting place was completely different from what was written. I was glad I had allowed plenty of time, but if I had been cutting it close... The actual yacht was located near the Sheraton. The cocktails were delicious. Everyone I went with was very satisfied. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to go on this again.

天候にも恵まれ、優雅な時間を過ごせました。
最高に気持ちよかったです。
クチコミにも濡れるとあったので、着替えを持って行きましたが、波が穏やかだったからか、全く濡れませんでした。
やはり日本人は私達だけでした。それが逆によかったです。
日本語は全く通じませんでしたが…
集合場所が書いてある場所と全然違います。余裕を持って動いていたのでよかったですが、ギリギリだったら…
実際ヨットがあったのはシェラトン前あたりでした。
カクテルもおいしかったです。
一緒に行ったみんなが大満足でした。
またハワイに行く事があったらまた乗りたいと思います。
