I thought it would be better to bring warm clothing since it was a bit cold.
It was only in English, but I didn't have any trouble.
The sunset from the boat was a different experience, and I enjoyed the atmosphere.

少し寒かったので防寒具は持って行った方がいいなと思いました。
オンリー英語でしたが、困ることはなかったです。
船の上からのサンセットは一味違って雰囲気を楽しめました。

We really enjoyed drinking homemade mai tai and want to join that next time too!

I felt like I was in a foreign country since there were hardly any Japanese people around. When we boarded the ship, the captain explained that the mai tai was homemade that day, and when I tried it, it was much tastier than what I had at other restaurants, so I ended up drinking a lot. I was able to chat with a Canadian next to me, take some photos, and had a great time. We were also able to see whales during that season! The tour was all in English, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't speak the language.

We really enjoyed drinking homemade maitai and want to join that next time too !

日本人が全然おらず、外国に来た！って感じがしました。
乗船すると、船長がマイタイは当日仕込んだ手作りだと説明しており、飲んでみると他のレストランで飲んだものよりも、とてもおいしくて、たくさん飲んでしまいました。
隣にいたカナダ人と雑談もでき、写真もとって、楽しかったです。
時期的にクジラも見ることもできました！
ツアーは全て英語でしたが、できなくても楽しめると思います。

While sipping on a Mai Tai and watching the sunset, everyone took photos and chatted in their own way. We admired the hotels of Waikiki and Diamond Head, and when we turned around, we saw a bright red sunset on the horizon. There was hardly any rocking that day. It's recommended to wear beach sandals as you might get wet when getting on and off. VERTRA was very courteous with their email confirmations before and thank-you emails after. It mentioned that a passport is required for alcoholic beverages, but that wasn't necessary at all. Thank you for a great experience!

マイタイを飲みながら夕日を眺めて、皆さん思い思いに写真を撮ったりおしゃべりしたり。ワイキキのホテル群とダイヤモンドヘッドを眺め、振り返れば水平線に真っ赤な夕日。この日はほとんど揺れることはなかった。乗り降りの時に濡れるのでビーチサンダルがオススメ。VERTRAさんはメールでの直前確認や直後のお礼メールなど丁寧でした。アルコール飲料にパスポートが必要と書いてあるけど、全然要らなかったです。良い企画を有難うございました。

I made a reservation based on a recommendation from a local friend. Depending on where you are, the waves can splash, making it feel like an attraction, and I had a great time. The captain is American, and since there are few Japanese participants, you can really experience the international atmosphere.

現地の友人のお勧めで予約しました。いる場所によっては波がかかったりとアトラクションのようでとても楽しめました。船長がアメリカ人で参加者に日本人が少ないので海外感が味わえます。

We sent my Grandparents on this cruise. It was an amazing boat. The staff treated them really well. They said it was so much fun. The food was wonderful. They said that they wished our whole family would come do it. The fireworks were so cool. Everyone there was having a great time. They want to do it again with our family. Thank you! :)

It was very cold outside.
Even if it's hot during the day, it's better to bring something to wear at night.
I couldn't drink cold beverages because it was too cold.
Everything was in English, so I didn't understand it well, but the show was powerful and enjoyable.

屋外でとっても寒かったです。
日中暑くても夜は羽織るものを持参した方がいいです。
冷たい飲み物も寒くて飲めませんでした。
すべて英語だったのでよくわかりませんでしたがショーは迫力があって楽しかったです。

After reading some experiences, I wanted to see this show when I went to Hawaii. Since I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest, I made a reservation for VIP seats. The experience started with dinner, and then we leisurely watched the show. Those who reserved VIP seats were able to enjoy cocktails and snacks before dinner. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the steak was delicious, and the mashed potatoes with truffles were very tasty. The content of the show was also very fulfilling, and I had a great time until the end. I definitely want to go again when I visit Hawaii.

体験談を見てハワイに行ったらこのショーを見たいと思いました。
せっかく鑑賞するならVIP席が良いと思い予約しました。
最初にﾃﾞｨﾅｰを食べてからショーをゆっくり見るという感じで、VIP席を
予約した人はﾃﾞｨﾅｰの前にカクテルとおつまみを頂くことが出来ました。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたがステーキも美味しく、トリフが
入ったマッシュポテトがとても美味しかったです。
ショーの内容もとても充実していて最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
またハワイに行った時には是非行きたいと思います。

Last year, I was watching yachts leave from the hotel lanai, wondering where they were departing from, where to book, and where they were going. After returning home, I found out that there are various courses available, including sunset cruises! I absolutely wanted to go on one, so this year I took my first sunset cruise.

Among all the places I visited and other options I experienced, this became the most enjoyable memory!

I've loved boating since I was a child, so the cruise was just wonderful! Unlimited drinks and a perfect sunset!

During the cruise, a mother whale and her calf appeared, and I was able to see them teaching how to breathe.

There are catamarans enjoying the sunset everywhere, and when we waved to each other as we passed by, they happily waved back!

Everyone on the sea is a friend~~♪

I definitely want to use this service again.

Next time, it would be nice to go in the morning. I think this will become a regular activity for our family.

去年、ホテルのラナイからヨットが出て行くのを眺めていて、どこから出てるのか？どこで申し込むのか？どこに行くのか？とっても気になってました。
帰国後調べてみると、いろんなコースがあり、サンセットクルーズもあると判明！
これは絶対に乗りたい！っと今年初めてサンセットクルーズに。

あちこち行ったり、他のオプションを体験した中でこちらは一番楽しい思い出になりました！

幼い頃からボート遊びが好きだったので、クルーズはやっぱり気持ちいい！
飲み放題のお酒に完璧なサンセット！

クルーズ中、クジラの親子が現れ、息つぎを教えている様子も見ることができました。

サンセットを楽しむカタマラン号はあちこちにあり、すれ違いざまに相手に手を振ると嬉しそうに手を振ってくれたり！

海の上はみんな仲間〜〜♪

また是非利用したいです。

次は朝から乗るのもいいな〜。
多分我が家はこちら、定番アクティビティとなりそうです。

This was the second time we did this dinner Cruise but this time we took our family with us. We were not disappointed. The care with the service and entertainment was excellent. We would gladly recommend this everyone. The only problem was that my wife does not eat crab but made do with what was available to eat.

Fantastic view, great food, enjoyable entertainment, friendly and professional staff. Felt like king and queen for the night.

The captain and staff were amazing and made the night even better than expected! The sights were amazing, catamaran was enjoyable, music was hopping and the drinks were flowing! We can't wait to go back.

I had experienced a sunset cruise on a large cruise ship before, but this was my first yacht cruise. I was a bit anxious about getting seasick, but it turned out to be completely fine.

We gathered at the meeting point at 4:30 PM for the 5 PM departure. It seemed a bit early, as we were informed that the actual gathering time was 10 minutes before departure, so we waited on the beach for a little while. Check-in started around 4:45 PM. At the beach, I showed the voucher to the staff, boarded the yacht, and before that, a cheerful staff member took a picture of us with the yacht in the background. You can purchase this photo after disembarking (we didn’t buy it).

After boarding, we listened to some safety instructions (like not leaning over the edge and not standing in the captain's area), and then we set sail! Almost immediately, the captain got everyone excited by asking, "Who wants a Mai Tai?" and everyone responded enthusiastically. Of course, there are soft drinks available for those who prefer non-alcoholic options, so no worries there.

After about an hour of enjoying the gentle breeze and the beautiful scenery of Waikiki, we turned around just past Diamond Head. Since sunset was around 6:25 PM, we were able to enjoy it perfectly. Everyone was in high spirits, and we had a wonderful time together. The sunset was clear with no clouds, which was breathtaking! This was the highlight of my trip, and I would love to participate again.

As for the passengers, about 40% were American, 40% Japanese, and around 20% Korean. You only get wet when boarding and disembarking from the steps, so regular clothing is fine. It's best to wear shoes that are easy to take off. I think only those who are very sensitive to motion sickness might need medication.

Although my English is not very good, we managed just fine.

大型客船でサンセットクルーズはしたことがありましたが、初めてのヨットクルーズ。酔わないかなど不安でしたが、全く大丈夫でした。
5時出航のため、4時半に集合場所へ。まだ早かったのか、再度集合時間は10分前でと告げられ少しビーチで待つことに。4時45分くらいから受付開始。ビーチで受付のお姉さんにバウチャーを見せて、乗船、とその前に元気なお姉さんがヨットをバックに写真をパチリ。下船後、買うことができます。(私たちは買いませんでした)
乗船してから注意事項(乗り出さないとか船頭で立たないとか)を聞いて、いざ出航！すぐに船長が『マイタイ飲みたい人～♪』と盛り上げてくれて一同ハーイヽ( ・∀・)ﾉとマイタイ大会です。もちろんお酒が弱い人のためのソフトドリンクはありますのでご安心を。
出航してから1時間くらい風に吹かれながら、まったりとワイキキの風景を楽しみ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを少し過ぎた辺りでUターン。日没が6時25分くらいだったので、ちょうどいい具合にサンセットを楽しむことができました。みんな出来上がっているので、いい感じで盛り上がり楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。そして雲もないサンセット。感動でした！この旅一番の思い出です。また参加したいです。
その他…
乗客はアメリカ人が4割、日本人4割、韓国人2割くらいの割合でした。
濡れるのは乗船と下船のタラップのところだけなので、服装は普通でOKです。靴は脱ぎやすいものがよいでしょう。酔い止めもよっぽど揺れに弱い人以外はいらないかと。
英語はあまりできない私たちでしたが、なんとかなります。

Overall the cruise was pretty great. Every time ive been i get sea sick and usually its very easy to get the drink mixture for seasickness but my waiter sucked he was unprofessional and never came back without tracking him down. If that wasnt bad enough he never came back to give me more crab legs. Thats one of the main reasons my wife and come on this cruise. This experience was worse than before. I feel as though maybe he was new.i WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this cruise to anybkdy looking for something nice for a date night.

It's expensive. If you make a reservation on-site, it will only cost $99. Also, Hilton guests can view the model room for free. I'm very satisfied with the experience!

高いです。
現地で予約、したら９９ドルで済みます。
また、ヒルトン滞在者が現地のモデルルーム見学すれば無料で見られます。
内容は大満足ですよ！

What a wonderful experience!
The crew on the Holokai did an exceptional job of taking care of us.
We even got to meet the fabulous owner of the Holokai, Soo.
We would highly recommend watching the beautiful Waikiki sunset aboard the newest catamaran on Waikiki! It was also fun eating at the Shorebird. We had a table right near the beach. A few steps out from the restaurant and you can see the Hilton fireworks show!
All in all, a great experience!
A big Mahalo to Soo and the crew of the Holokai!

I made a reservation for the night of my arrival on Oahu! We had dinner at a different restaurant beforehand. The show was so lively, in a way that you don't see in Japan, and I had a great time!

Since it's located in the center of Waikiki, I was able to go shopping while still in a festive mood. At the end of the show, we could take photos, and I took one with Michael and Celine!

One disappointing thing was that since it was close to the hotel, I opted for no transportation, but the explanation for the voucher was unclear, and I had trouble purchasing the tickets. It said "meet on-site," so I waited in front of the ticket counter, but when the time came, I ended up buying them myself. There were many Japanese people who seemed to be guides, but there was no announcement or anything. I thought there would be someone there since it said to gather, but that wasn't the case. It might be an issue of comprehension, but I wish it had been explained more clearly.

I arrived early and waited, but ended up in the back row, so I feel like there's no point in reserving through Veltra next time. The audience was about two-thirds full.

In response to the above comments, I will give the lowest rating due to the standard response. The show itself is wonderful, so I recommend it to those who are unsure!

オアフ島到着日の夜に予約！食事は別のレストランで食べてから。ショーは日本にはないかんじの盛り上がり方で、とっても楽しかったです！
ワイキキの中心部にあるため盛り上がった気分のままショッピングに行けます。ショーの最後には写真撮影もでき、マイコーとセリーヌと撮りました！
ひとつ残念だったのは、ホテルから近かったため送迎なしにしたところ、バウチャーの説明が分かりづらくチケット購入に手間取りました。
[現地集合]とあり窓口前でずっと待っていましたが時間になってしまい、自分で買いました。ガイドらしき日本人もたくさんいましたが呼びかけも何もありませんでした。集合というからには誰かいるものだと思ったのですが違ったのですね。読解力の問題かもしれませんがもっと分かりやすく記載して頂きたかったです。
せっかく早く着いて待っていたのに結局後ろの席になったため、次はベルトラで予約する意味はないかなというかんじです。客入りは3分の2くらいでした。

以上のコメントに対し、定型文での返答の為、最低評価にさせて頂きます。
ショー自体は素晴らしいものですので迷ってる方にはオススメですよ。

It was cloudy, but the cruise was amazing. I got a little too carried away with the free drinks on board and ended up drinking too much. I thought there were no restrooms, but when I asked the crew, they told me there were, which was a relief.

Now that I know there are restrooms, I will definitely use the service again in March.

曇りですが・・・クルーズは最高でしたが、船上でのフリードリンクに気を良くしてしまい飲み過ぎてしまいました。
トイレがないと思い込み、船員に聞くとあるとの事で助かりました。

再度、トイレがある事がわかりましたので、再度３月に利用させて頂きます。

The boarding area was hard to find, which made me a bit anxious. There were few Japanese people around, allowing me to really enjoy the travel atmosphere. I thought two hours would be short, but it felt like I had plenty of time on the boat. The all-you-can-drink option added to the sense of value. The boat was small, so it was fun to see the ocean up close.

乗り場がわかりにくく不安でした。
日本人が少なく、旅行気分を味わえます。
2時間は短いのかと思いきや、たっぷりと船に乗った感じがしました。
飲み放題もついておりお得感がありました。
船が小さいので海を近くに見られて楽しかったです。

It is worth more than just a sail boat! There is no better way to enjoy an afternoon with gorgeous sunset at Waikiki! We liked the view, the cocktail, the captain...almost everything that we experienced. Sure will try it again if I'm back to Waikiki.

My sister and I had the best time. Didn't see any fireworks, but that really was ok.
If go back to Hawaii we will definitely be doing this again. The captain & mate were
very entertaining. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!

In the midst of a beautiful sunset, a baby whale appeared on the surface of the sea. I was moved by this unexpected development, as I had not been able to see anything during the whale watching the day before. Next time, I would like to participate with my parents.

なんと、美しいサンセットのさ中、子供のクジラが海面に姿を現しました。
前の日に、ホエールウヲッチングでは見ることが叶わなかったため、今回の予想外の展開に感動しました。
次は、両親と一緒に参加したいと思いまいた。

Had an awesome time on the boat! The sunset was pretty and the drinks were awesome! Had a blast!

The entertainment was nice, food was good. We enjoyed the fireworks show

This cruise was awesome, the staff was very entertaining and Mai Tai's went down smoothly, very tasty! Would recommend this cruise to everyone!

I participated after dinner. You take off your shoes and go barefoot. After departure, the DJ played upbeat music, making it feel like a club on the boat. I was able to request various cocktails from the bartender. It was great that we stopped at the best spot to enjoy the fireworks. We were the only Japanese people there, but even though I couldn't understand English, everyone was friendly and it became a fun memory. There is a restroom, but it's small and not very convenient, so I think it's better to take care of that before boarding.

夕食後に参加しました。靴を脱いで裸足で乗ります。出港後はＤＪがノリのイイ音楽をかけてくれ、船上のクラブみたいでした。カクテルもバーテンダーに色々リクエストできました。花火をベストスポットが見られる場所に止まって観賞できてよかったです。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、英語が分からなくてもみんなワキアイアイと話しかけてきてくれて楽しい思い出になりました。トイレはありますが、小さくて使いづらいので乗る前に済ませてきた方がいいと思います。

Went here after our wedding. It was very organized for the amount of people attending yummy buffet before show which was a top notch with all of the performers! Thank you for a wonderful time!

Amazing toime beautiful water beautiful boat couldn't ask for more.

This time, I chose the buffet plan. It was great to enjoy interacting with other guests while watching the show outside. The show was full of enthusiasm, and I received a gift from one of the performers. I would love to participate again.

今回はバイキングのプランを選択しました。店外でフラショーを見ながら、他のお客さんと交流して楽しめたところも良かったです。
ショーはサービス精神旺盛で、出演者の方からプレゼントを頂きました。また、参加したいです

We had a lot of fun on this cruise. Entertainment was excellent. The service was excellent. We went on the fireworks cruise which was very nice. The crab legs were very good. The food was good, but could have been warmer. It may be hard on such a big boat. The only other thing that could have done better is we took the transportation from hotel to the boat and when we got there and started walking the girl leading us never talked to us just talked to another person and we just tried to keep up her so we knew where to go. When we got to boat we followed her on and went on wrong way and were corrected and told to go on another way. We were just following her on. She never turned around and said go on this way or have a good time. It was a little odd. Other than that it was a good time.

I attended with my mother. My mother, who is in her 50s, was very pleased with the content of the show. It was heartwarming to see the hula dancer providing services like holding and taking pictures with guests who had small children during the waiting time.

母と二人で参加しました。
50代母がショーの内容に非常に喜んでいました。
待ち時間にフラのお姉さん？が、小さな子連れのお客さんに抱っこや写真のサービスをしていたのが見ていて微笑ましかったです。
