Oahu
After three years, I participated in a sunset cruise on a catamaran in Hawaii. It was so much fun. Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, the sunset, and the sky turning pink afterward was breathtaking. There was a rainbow over Waikiki. We laughed out loud while getting splashed by the waves, and we even started singing together. It was a truly enjoyable time.
Since you might get wet, it's best to wear clothes that can get wet and keep your valuables in a waterproof bag. There was storage available, but there's a chance of getting splashed by the waves.
I definitely plan to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.
3年ぶりのハワイで
カタマランでのサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
とにかく楽しかった。
海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、
サンセットとそのあとにピンクに染まる空。
ワイキキにかかる虹。
波しぶきを浴びて大笑いしたり、大合唱が始まったり、
とても楽しい時間でした。
濡れる可能性があるので参加には濡れていい服で、
貴重品は防水バッグに入れておくといいですね。
収納場所がありましたが波を受ける可能性もあるので。
次回のハワイでも絶対参加しようと思います。
From the moment our captain greeted us we knew this was going to be a fun cruise. The staff was wonderfully accommodating, the views/fireworks were beautiful. We would definitely do this again!
My friends and I had the most amazing and fun experience with Justin, Jeff, and Sailor Jerry!! We got to see the beautiful island from miles off the coast and into the deep blue waters. The waves were big and exciting, and if you’re in the right spot, you’ll get soaked! The alcohol wasn’t just one big jug of Mai Tai or beers, they had an amazing selection and the best bartenders who made the excursion so special and memorable. I would definitely take this cruise again and again!
First time snorkeling but Lifeguard teaches very simple and I had great time!!! Everyone (staffs)are very nice and very helpful thank you guys I will do again
I gave my name at the reception and waited for about 30 minutes. After that, we boarded and set off.
You can basically leave your luggage on the ship, so there are no issues.
At first, they said, "I'll take your photo for $40," and I asked them to take some memories for me. There was a bit of backlighting, but there were many good photos. The backlighting added a nice touch. I was satisfied because they took a lot of pictures for me.
The parasailing was explained in English, so I was a bit anxious, but I left it to the staff and just went along with it. It went really high and felt great. At the end, they dipped my toes in the sea, which was playful and nice. I didn't get too wet, and my face didn't get wet either.
受付で名前を言い、30分程待機。
その後、乗船し出発しました。
荷物は基本的に船に置いとけるので問題はなし。
写真は最初『40$で撮ってあげるよ』と言われ、思い出にお願いしました。
少し逆光が多めでしたが(笑)、いい写真もたくさんありました。逆光もいい味が出てました(笑)。
たくさん者を撮っていただいたので満足です。
パラセーリングも英語での説明だったので少し不安でしたが、スタッフに任せて、されるがままスタートしました。とても高く上がり気持ちよかったです。最後に足先を海につけられたり、遊び心があり良かったです。
大きく濡れたり顔が濡れることもないです。
Great experience. Very punctual, competent , friendly and attentive crew.
Smooth sailing, great ambiance and very relaxing. Felt safe. The views are amazing.
Highly recommend.
We have been on at least five catamarans that offer Sunset Sails,and Holokai is our favorite. The Captain is super accommodating with an amazing bartender who manages to stay balanced serving drinks! We will be back in October for another awesome sailing adventure!
Free fall from an airplane is truly an extraordinary experience! The price was comparable to that in Japan, so it felt like a great deal.
飛行機からの自由落下はまさに非日常体験です!価格も日本のそれと変わらず楽しめるのでお得感がありました。
It was amazing to swim in such a beautiful sea. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the kids were happy too.
とてもきれいな海で思いっきり泳げて最高でした。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくて、子どもも喜んでました。
The experience itself was very good! However, the wait time was too long, and in the heat, we couldn't buy any drinks, which was unfortunate for the children.
体験自体は大変良かった!ですが、待ち時間が長すぎて、暑い中飲み物も買えず、子どもがかわいそうでした。
I used this during my honeymoon. Some of the staff communicated with me in Japanese and provided explanations in Japanese, which was very kind of them. The continuous music created a wonderful atmosphere as well.
Regarding what to bring... For the bus transfer, it was fine to go in my swimsuit, but it's better to have something to change into for the return trip. A towel would also be great. If you're wet, the bus seats will get wet, and more importantly, the air conditioning is quite strong, so it can get really cold.
ハネムーン中に利用しました。
何人かのスタッフの方が日本語でコミュニケーションをとってくれたり、英語の説明を日本語でしてくださったりして、凄く親切でした。
またずっと音楽を奏でてくれるので素敵な時間も過ごせました。
持ち物に関してですが…
バス送迎は行きは水着でいけましたが、帰りは何か着替えるものを持っていった方がいいです。タオルもあれば◎
濡れたままだとバスの椅子が濡れてしまいますし、何より冷房ガンガンなので凍えます。
I have participated in sandbar tours several times before, but this tour was the most enjoyable so far because, in addition to snorkeling, there were various activities available such as stand-up paddleboarding, balls, and large floaties, which kept things fun and engaging. The staff were also bright and accommodating, making an effort to entertain us. However, one point to note is that all the explanations were in English only, so if the key points could have been communicated in Japanese as well, it would have made those who are not proficient in English feel more at ease.
今までサンドバーツアーには何回か参加したことがありますが、今回のツアーはシュノーケリング以外にも、サップボードやボール、大きな浮き輪等色々な遊び遠具が用意されていて、飽きずに楽しめ、今までで一番楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も楽しませてくれようと明るく対応してくれました。
ただ一点、説明が全て英語のみでしたので、ポイントだけでも日本語で伝えていただけたら、英語が得意でない人も、より安心できたと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed not only snorkeling but also the other activities we have arranged for our tour. Currently, our guides are English-speaking, and we would like to take your valuable feedback into consideration for future improvements. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
弊社ツアーではシュノーケリング以外にもお楽しみいただけるように工夫をいたしておりますので、楽しんでいただけてとても嬉しく思います。
現在ガイドにつきましては英語のガイドとなっておりますので、貴重なご意見を参考に工夫していきたいと思います。
またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
enjoyed a lot.
place is good, lot of activities, nice people!
bring more alcool next time :-)
It was myself and my 17 and 16 year old sons. The tour guides on the trail at the ranch were really nice and informative. So cool to ride through the ranch, up the mountain and overlook the water. Beauty every where you looked. Also, the scenes were movies were filmed was fun to see.
You do get dirty - it was very dry when we went so lots of dust. If it’s wet I image you’re covered in mud. They give you goggles and buffs to cover your nose and mouth. You need them! Another reviewer suggested to bring wipes to wash your face afterwards- solid advice. We did that to get some of the dirt off our faces. Plenty more came off in the shower. Haha
The bus to/ from was comfortable and clean. Only not so great thing I can say is there was a very long wait time from when we arrived at the ranch until our scheduled tour started. Had I known that I maybe would have rented a car and drove up on our own. Price would have been Equivalent, and plenty of other places to stop in along the way. All in all it was a great adventure and I definitely recommend it!
Everyone who comes to Hawaii should visit the Pearl Harbor and view the film and find out why it's very important in our History. You will leave with a better understanding of the events that led to the memorial. Roberts provides excellent guides and service and the city tour adds to the magnificent Day you will have. Put it on your Do NOT want to Miss IT.
I had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. The Captain and staff were awesome. Those Maitais were delicious. I loved the cruise and the booze so much that I went on the Fireworks cruise right after. Met some amazing people which I believe will turn into great friendships. If you’re in Hawaii and looking for a nice evening activity check out Manu Kai Catamaran Waikiki activities. You will not be disappointed!
This was so much fun!!! You definitely get super dirty but it is so worth it! You get to see so much of the ranch and the different valleys! We had Jessica as one of our tour guides and she was awesome! She did a lot of fun things with the group to make the experience more fun! If you love Jurassic World, you will love being able to see some cool things from the movie. Definitely a fantastic experience!
That was our first time Snorkeling and it was great. The crew was very nice and professional. All needed gear was provided and in very good condition. Drinks got served after Snorkeling. And yes we did see alot of Turtles.
Such a beautiful way to see Oahu. Would absolutely go again, had the best tour guides.
We had the very best time. I was a little nervous about the price but I would do it all over again.
Glad you had an opportunity to enjoy our Island with us!
It was great to have a view of Waikiki! It became a wonderful memory. However, the wait was long, and I struggled with seasickness. I purchased the photo service for $40, but my face was all dark and not visible.
ワイキキを一望でき、気持ちよかったです!
とてもいい思い出になりました。ただ、待っている間が長いので船酔いが辛かったです。写真のサービスを40ドルで購入しましたが、顔は全部暗くて見えませんでした。
The entire crew made us feel safe, well taken care of and worked hard to ensure we had a memorable visit! I will be coming back again this September and will be bringing my family.
I found out that I needed permission to hike Diamond Head, so I decided to join the Manoa Falls tour instead. I wasn't expecting much, but our guide Hiro was kind and provided detailed explanations. I was able to soak in a lot of negative ions, and it turned out to be a fun tour.
ダイアモンドヘッド登山が事前に許可を貰わないといけないことがわかり、急遽マノア滝ツアーに参加することにしました。あまり期待をしてなかったのですが、ガイドのHiroさんが親切で、細かく説明して下さったし、マイナスイオンも沢山浴びることができて、楽しいツアーでした。
The cruise ship was large, with many tables arranged inside and a small stage as well. We were guided to our seats by the staff. While we were on our way to the sandbar, we enjoyed lovely music played with a ukulele, guitar, and singing.
The water level at the sandbar changes with the tides, so if you have the time, it might be a good idea to check the tide conditions in advance. We signed up at the last minute, so we didn’t check beforehand, but on the morning of our visit, the water level was about waist-deep. In some areas, it was deep enough to reach shoulder height, but even so, the clear water was beautifully colored and truly stunning.
You can freely enjoy SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling. However, there are a limited number of SUPs and kayaks, so if others are using them and they are not available, you may have to wait. We tried SUP for the first time, and it was a bit difficult to balance, and with the ocean current, it was quite challenging to go in the direction we intended. But it was a lot of fun.
One thing to be careful about is the red buoys, which indicate where you should not go beyond. If you get too close, we were told to sit down and paddle back on the SUP or to get out and walk back if you were in a kayak.
For snorkeling, we swam in an area with coral reefs, and since the water was shallow, we were able to see the fish up close. They were so beautiful that we could have watched them for a long time.
The lounge floating on the sea was also a photogenic spot. At the sandbar, you can spend your time freely until it's time to go, so when we got cold, we returned to the ship to wrap ourselves in towels and enjoyed some orange juice and donuts.
There was one men's restroom and two women's restrooms on board, which was convenient. All the staff members were bright, cheerful, and wonderful people. There was also one Japanese staff member, so I think you don’t have to worry if you're anxious about your English.
On the way back, we left the sandbar while listening to music and returned to the port. It became a very lovely memory. We had so much fun. Thank you, everyone!
クルーズ船は大きくて、中はたくさんテーブルが並んでいて、小さなステージもありました。場所はスタッフの方に案内されて座りました。サンドバーに着くまでの間、ウクレレとギターと歌で素敵な音楽を聞くことができました。
サンドバーは潮の満ち引きによって水位が変わるので、余裕があれば、あらかじめ潮の状態を調べておくといいかもしれません。私たちは直前に申し込んだので調べていきませんでしたが、私たちが行った日の午前中は水位が腰くらいまでありました。場所によっては肩くらいまで深さがありましたが、それでも、透き通った水でとてもきれいな色をしていて、本当に美しかったです。
SUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングは自由にすることができます。SUPとカヤックに関しては個数が限られているので、他の方が使っていてその場にない場合は待たないといけないと思います。私たちは初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、バランスを取るのが少し難しく、海水の流れもあるので思った方向に進むのがなかなか難しかったです。でもとても楽しかったです。
注意しなければならないのは、赤いブイがあるので、その先には行かないということです。そこの近くまで行ってしまったら、SUPでは座って戻ったり、カヤックの場合は降りて歩いて戻ったりするように言われました。
シュノーケリングでは、珊瑚礁がある場所で泳ぎましたが、こちらも水深が浅いので、近くで魚たちを見ることができました。とてもきれいで、ずっと見ていられるくらいでした。
海に浮かぶラウンジもフォトジェニックな場所でした。
サンドバーでは時間まで自由に過ごすことができるので、体が冷えたら船内に戻ってタオルにくるまったり、オレンジジュースやドーナツをいただいたりしました。
船内に男子トイレは1つ、女子トイレは2つあったので、トイレに行けるのもよかったです。
スタッフのみなさんが明るく陽気で素敵な方ばかりでした。また、日本人のスタッフさんも1人いらっしゃったので、英語に不安があっても心配いらないと思います。
帰りも音楽を聞きながらサンドバーをあとにし、港へ戻りました。
とても素敵な思い出になりました。すごく楽しかったです。みなさん、ありがとうございました。
I had a good time with my family. The people running it were friendly. The park is beautiful.
The entire experience was wonderful, especially the captain and crew. The food and drinks were great as well. My only complaint is that I wish our time at the sandbar was longer! We spent a good while at the snorkeling reef, but I wish our time at the sandbar was equal in length. 10/10 recommend!!
Beginning with our pickup, through drop off, our trip was fantastic. Our tour guide was the best. Our first stop was to see city sights and he allowed us time for pictures along with him taking our group pictures. The battleship was fascinating and of course Pearl Harbour was very touching. Great tour.
I was nervous about my first parasailing experience, but it was really fun! I floated in the air longer than I expected, and the view was amazing!
初めてのパラセーリングでドキドキでしたが、すごく面白かったです( ^ω^ )
思ってたより長く空に浮かんでいて、景色も最高でした!!
So fun!! Loved all the workers who gave us history on Hawaii, from ferry driver to island workers who took us on canoe and glass bottom boat. Loved the sandbar canoe the best!! Definitely recommend visiting the beach
Was good, good staff and beautiful beach, fun family time .. please add 1 hour.
