I was able to organize, finalize & make changes for a group of 35 people along the way through Veltra, doing so from some 5,000 miles away from the venue! The Veltra process, from beginning to end went so smoothly & without problem that I had to pinch myself several times during it, just to make sure that it wasn't a dream! ANYONE wishing to make plans for a special & successful event shouldn't think twice about the success that will come in using Veltra!

I had always booked dinner cruises, but I felt disappointed that the cruising would end without seeing the ocean views. That's when I found the sunset sailing. It was our honeymoon, and since it was my husband's first time in Hawaii, I decided to go for it and make a reservation. The meeting place was a bit hard to find, so I was glad I took a walk beforehand to scout it out. You can access it by going through the path between the Sheraton Hotel and Halekulani. Other than us, there were only two other Japanese participants, and the rest were foreigners ( *´꒳`* ). I generally like to visit places with fewer Japanese people when I travel abroad, so I had no hesitation in joining. It's great that Mai Tais are all-you-can-drink! There is a restroom, but I heard it's small, so I didn't drink too much and enjoyed the sunset and the views from the boat while sipping on soft drinks. There is some rocking. When the waves are high, it can be hard to stand. The foreigners were moving around while standing, but since Japanese people tend to be smaller, it's better to stay seated. At sunset, we were in the best position on the water, unfurling the blue sail and turning off the engine to sail only with the wind. The sunset spread out before us, and we had Diamond Head all to ourselves ♡ It was a wonderful tour, and I will participate again!
いつもディナークルーズを予約していたのですが、海の風景を見ずにクルージングが終わってしまうことに残念さを感じていました。そんな時にサンセットセーリングを見つけました。新婚旅行、旦那さんは初めてのハワイだし思い切って予約してみました。集合場所が分かりにくい所にあり事前に散歩がてら探しておいてよかったと思いました。シェラトンホテルとハレクラニの間の小道を入ると行けました。それ以外は日本人の参加者は私達を含め2組で他は外人です( *´꒳`* )元々海外に来たら日本人の少ない場所に行くのが好きなので抵抗もなく参加できました。マイタイが飲み放題なのも嬉しいですね!トイレもありますが、狭いと聞いたのでガブ飲みせず、ソフトドリンクも飲みながらサンセットと船の上からの景色を楽しみました。揺れはあります。波が高い時は立ってられないくらい揺れます。外人は立ってわちゃわちゃ動いてましたが、日本人は小柄なので座ってた方がいいですよ。サンセットの時刻には海のベストポジションでブルーの帆をひらいてエンジンを止めて帆だけで進むんです。目の前に広がるサンセット、ダイヤモンドヘッドを独り占め♡素敵なツアーでした。また参加します!

I think you'll definitely get a sense of being abroad, as there are many non-Japanese guests. The weather wasn't great on the day we boarded, but once we got a little further out, the clouds cleared and we were able to see the blue sky. We also got to see a big rainbow, and I couldn't help but rush out to the deck from inside the ship, laughing.
On Friday, we were able to see the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel, so at the time the fireworks started, we went up to the third floor and had the best seats to watch them! They turned off the lights on the ship, making it very easy to see! All the staff were wonderful, and we had an incredibly fun time!
I didn't find the ship's rocking to be bothersome, and the buffet food was delicious. If you're looking to enjoy a slightly different night, I definitely recommend this cruise!
お客様は日本人以外も多く、海外に来ている感は十分に味わえるかと思います。
乗船した当日はあまり天候が良くなかったのですが、それでも少し沖に出ると雲が切れて青空を見る事が出来ました。
また大きな虹を見る事が出来て、思わず船内から甲板に飛び出していました笑
金曜日はヒルトンホテルの花火を見る事が出来るので、花火が上がる時間には3階に上がり、特等席で見ました!!船の明かりを消してくれたので、とても見やすかったです!!
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方ばかりで、とってもとっても楽しかったです!
船の揺れもそこまで気にならなかったし、ブッフェのお料理も美味しかったです。
ちょっと違う夜を楽しんでみたい方には、是非このクルーズをオススメします!!

Went with another couple..I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never been on any type of tour via water and there were only a few reviews.
But we're so glad we did. The crew was fantastic! Josh cracked jokes and made us feel welcome. Brad and Karin (spelling?) were great to talk to...they refilled our drinks and also took pictures.
It was laid back, great atmosphere, and beautiful view. Can't wait to do it again!

Dinner Cruise was awesome. Bus driver on the way was a ass and was nearly punched for being rude to my wife. Told her to be quiet and enjoy the ride. This after he told everyone one the bus we could joke with him because he used to be a shuttle driver.
Everyone on the bus had to drive by the exact same stops twice because he said we didn't know what he was doing.
Whoever scheduled the route didn't know what they were doing it took us nearly 50 minutes to drive around one block If the route would have gone the other way it might have lasted 10 enough said

This April marks my second repeat visit this year. While a pricey dinner cruise is nice, for me, the open-air catamaran cruise swaying with the Hawaiian waves is the best. Unfortunately, there were many clouds, so the sunset wasn't beautiful, but that's part of the charm of travel. I definitely want to repeat this again next time. As I mentioned last time, there are proper restrooms, so you can rest assured...
今年4月に引き続き、今年2回目のリピートです。
高額なお金を払うディナークルーズも良いですが、私には、オープンエアで、ハワイの波に揺られるカタマランクルーズは最高です。
残念ながら、雲が多くてサンセットは綺麗に見れませんでしたが、それも旅の醍醐味。
次回も、またリピートしたいと思います。
前回も紹介しましたが、トイレはちゃんとありますので、ご安心を・・・・

Missed the boat by 5 minutes. Couldn't find exact location. Tried to move the tour to another night but no response or effort. Didn't get refunded and over all lost $200. We are tourists and made an honest mistake on our end. Wishes there was an effort on there end.
Warm Aloha Lianna,
We are sorry to hear that you missed the catamaran. The Maitai Catamaran is a very popular activity that perhaps there were fully booked that they could not reschedule you to another date. We hope you were at least able to experience a sunset from the Waikiki Beach.

When we went on the cruise for our 25th anniversary, the weather was clear and we felt very welcomed by the friendly crew. We also got offered a free drink at the bar as were the other guests. My wife and I enjoyed the relaxing breeze on the tour accompanied with the warm sun. On the boat, we saw gorgeous views of Diamond Head and Waikiki and also took a lot of pictures. While on the boat, we didn't feel any bumps and the trip was very smooth. When we go to Hawaii again, we'll definitely go on this cruise. I highly recommend this cruise for anybody travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

When we went on the Waikiki Glass Bottom tour in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary, we were greeted very warmly and we felt very welcomed. Although it was raining, we still felt comfortable because of the crew and were offered free drinks. During the boat ride, we saw coral, tropical fish, and even sea turtles! We took lots of pictures of the stunning scenery of Waikiki and the Diamond Head. The crew also explained the history of Waikiki and made the tour more interesting so that every moment was enjoyable. Next time we come to Hawaii, we will definitely be going on the tour again. We highly recommend this great vacation tour for anyone travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

The trip was amazing. We went the first week of September so there wasn't much turtles or whales. It wasn't the season yet. It was still extremely fun and enjoyable. I went with my grandma and her or I did not get seasick! I recommend this for anyone who wants to relax at sea with a bit of adventure! Really great for elders and little kids. They have a net you can sit on. They also have a bar you can purchase alcoholic beverages or sodas! You can also buy a sippy cup so you won't spill your drink! Highly recommend and there's a coupon on Groupon! Take everyone!!! I will be coming back with more family members! Definitely coming back in December for the whales!

The meeting place is at the ocean side exit of the Outrigger Reef Hotel. From there, head left along the beach until you reach the area with an orange umbrella and a flag with the tour company's name on it. It's quite hard to find. When I arrived before the meeting time of 2:30, I was told that the boat hadn't arrived yet, and we would meet again at 2:45. After waiting a bit longer, we finally set sail around 3:15. There were a group of ladies typical of Western tourists, a few couples, and families on board. The announcements on the boat were only in English. I had imagined a boat speeding through the blue sea, but it was more about enjoying drinks and music at a leisurely pace. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, and instead of the blue sea, it rained at times, which was disappointing, but overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The ladies seemed to have a great time requesting their favorite songs and dancing.
集合場所はアウトリガーリーフホテルの海側の出口から出て砂浜を左に進み、オレンジのパラソルと催行会社名の入った旗が壁に貼ってあるところです。結構わかりにくいです。集合時間の2:30より前に行ったところ船がまだ来ないから45分にまた集合と言われ、再度行きましたがそこからもだいぶ待ちました。出航したのは結局15時15分頃だったかな?欧米人らしいおばさま集団と、数組の夫婦、ファミリーなど。船内の案内は英語のみです。青い海を風をきって走る船をイメージしてたのですが、ゆっくり走りながらお酒と音楽を楽しむ、というものでした。天候に恵まれず青い海どころか雨が降ったりしたので残念ですが、それなりに気持ちは良かったです。おばさま方は好きな曲をリクエストして踊ってとっても楽しそうでしたよ。

Overall it was a fun activity. Clean boat, good drinks, friendly staff, etc. However it was a bit presumptuous on their part to require your picture be taken for an upsell opportunity before you could board the boat. They had all the guests lined up for pictures like grade school photo day. Cheesy! Then of course after the cruise came the sales pitch the second you stepped back on shore. I was literally chased down the beach....LOL. Well it is the 21st century now, so many of us just used our smart phones instead at no additional cost. Other than this odd irritation I had an enjoyable cruise. Thank you.

From the description and images, I imagined a course meal to be enjoyed at a table, but when I actually participated, it was a buffet style, with dining taking place somewhere on the ship. The fireworks were not viewed up close, but rather from a distance; however, I think the viewing points were not bad. It was also nice that the deck was open, allowing us to sit wherever we liked.
写真の画像、説明文から、コース料理、テーブルで食べるイメージをしていましたが、
実際に参加してみると、バイキング形式、船のどこかで食べるといったスタイルでした。
花火も間近での鑑賞ではなく、遠くで見る感じでしたが、鑑賞ポイントは悪くないと思います。
デッキも自由だったので、好きなところにすわれたのは良かったと思います。

This is my third time in Hawaii, and I attended the show on the last night. This was my first time seeing the show, and the impersonator of Celine Dion had a wonderful singing voice. In particular, the segment about Elvis reminded me of watching the live broadcast in Honolulu on TV when I was in middle school, and it was very moving. This show is not just an impersonator show; it can be enjoyed as an entertainment show, and I believe it is worth attending at least once.

I participated to see the fireworks. The last time I joined, it was a daytime cruise, but this time it was my first night cruise. The atmosphere was completely different, and I really enjoyed it. The fireworks viewed from the boat were amazing, and I also enjoyed a delicious Mai Tai! It seemed like we took a route that we didn't go on during the daytime cruise, going all the way to Ala Moana and the harbor side, which allowed us to see a wonderful atmosphere that we usually don't get to experience.

以前参加した時は、昼間のクルーズだったのですが、今回は初めての夜のクルーズ。全く雰囲気も違うし、楽しめました。

It was our first time experiencing the glass bottom boat tour. Although it wasn't what I was expecting from the title of the tour, but it was fun. The boat consisted of boxes with glass bottom you can look down to see underneath the boat. During the shallow parts of the water, you can see fishes and of course it's not a guarantee on what or what not you would see. But, wish we would have seen more!
The captain and his partner were friendly and nice. We went during the first tour at 9am, so we basically had the entire boat to roam around with another family. They offer drinks (water, bud light, soda) and restroom on board, which was great!
We were also lucky with the day that we went. It was sunny but during some parts of the tour, the clouds covered the sun, so the breeze was nice. So all in all, it was a fun experience.

This glass bottom boat trip gives one a new view to look at while experiencing a cruise. Not only is the view amazing but you get to see a side of wild life you don't usually get to look at. We got to see a few different types of fish and a number of turtles.
Our captain and his partner were also hugely helpful. Answering all questions and giving us interesting information on the sea and boat life here in Waikiki. But do understand, you can't control wild life, so some days or seasons might be better to go than others. And while what wild life you see may depend on a number of different things, the view is always enjoyable and relaxing.
