The clear blue pacific didn't disappoint. An abundance of fish and of course the stunning turtles. Capt. Rich, Michelle and Austin got us to were we needed to be safely and with a lot of fun. Genuinely nice people as well. Made us feel special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Would go on an adventure with them without hesitation. Highly recommend.

The weather was great with clear skies, and as soon as the boat set off, we saw turtles!! It was a quick ride to the sandbar, so I didn't feel seasick at all. The water was incredibly clear, and the guides were very friendly. Also, while waiting for our turn to snorkel, we could use free inflatable rings and paddleboards.

天候に恵まれ晴天で、船が出てすぐに亀が！！
サンドバーまでは船ですぐだったので全く船酔いもしなかったです。
海の透明度もすごいですし、ガイドさんたちもすごくフレンドリーでした。
また、シュノーケルの順番を待っている間も無料で貸し出しの浮き輪やパドルサーフィンもできました。

I felt like I waited quite a while before we set sail. Since it was a large ship, the view from the deck was wonderful. However, whales didn't appear for a long time, and when they finally did, it was from quite a distance. During my last trip in January, I was able to see mother and baby whales up close, so I was a bit disappointed and thought it was just bad luck this time. The cruise, with the whales not showing up, felt a bit slow, and some people were resting because they were tired. I experienced a bit of seasickness from the slow-moving ship, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take medication beforehand.

出港までに随分と待たされた印象でした。
大型船でしたので、デッキからの眺めは素晴らしいものでした。ただ、なかなか鯨が現れず、現れてもかなり遠いところからの見学となりました。前回、1月に参加した際には近い距離で親子鯨を見ることができましたので、期待外れとその時の運だと思いました。鯨がなかなか現れない中でのクルーズは、やや中弛みし疲れて休んでいる人もいらっしゃいました。ゆっくりと進む船に少々船酔いしましたので、酔い安い方は事前に薬を飲むことをオススメします。

What a totally enjoyable day. Well worth it. I recommend getting the group guided tour inside the Center to save time and get a better experience.

The driver was on time, courteous and helpful. Great service.

Perfect night for a cruise. Our second voyage of the day on the Holokai. Rich and Michelle were excellent hosts and made everyone on board feel welcome. Lots of fun and laughter. Made us feel extra special on our 20th wedding anniversary. Home now and still smiling Michelle :D. Would highly recommend.

I participated in the Angel's Sea Tour on March 15, 2018. It was a cloudy and chilly day, but as we approached the sandbar, the blue sky opened up, and the contrast between the blue of the sky and the white of the sandbar was amazing.

When I got into the sea from the boat, I was surprised by the sudden depth, as the water was up to my shoulders, but it quickly became shallower, allowing me to take photos comfortably. After enjoying some beach volleyball and other activities in the water, we were treated to freshly made BBQ, which was exquisite.

I also saw plenty of sea turtles and made a wish (laughs). Finally, we moved to a spot with coral reefs for snorkeling, where I was able to enjoy the colorful fish. The tour had a good mix of foreigners and Japanese participants, and the explanations provided in a separate area for the Japanese made it easy to enjoy without any worries.

The sandbar is an experience you can only have here, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't seen it yet.

２０１８年３月１５日に天使の海ツアーに参加しました。
雲の多い肌寒い日でしたが、サンドバーに近づくにつれ青空が広がり、空の青さとサンドバーの白さとのコントラストは最高でした。
船から海に入る時はいきなり肩まで海水につかる深さだったので、ちょっとびっくりしましたが、すぐに浅く腰までになりゆっくり写真をとることができました。
海でバレーボール等ををしてゆっくり楽しんだあとは、出来立てのBBQが待っていました。絶品でしたよ。
ウミガメもたくさん見られて、しっかり願い事もしました（笑）
最後はサンゴ礁のある場所に移動してシュノーケリングでしたが、カラフルな魚がいっぱいいて堪能することが出来ました。
外国人と日本人が半分半分くらいのツアーでしたが、日本人向けに別の場所でしっかり説明してもらい安心して楽しめました。
サンドバーはここでしか体験できないので、まだ見ていない人は是非お勧めします。

Compared to some ranches, there are hardly any Japanese people, and if you're okay with only English, I highly recommend it! The location is North Shore, just a few minutes by car from Giovanni's. After the activities, you can enjoy sightseeing in Haleiwa and also try garlic shrimp, so definitely go for it!

某牧場と比べて、日本人はほぼいないし、英語のみでも大丈夫なら非常にオススメです！場所はノースショア、ジョバンニから車で数分です。アクティビティ後にハレイワ観光、ガーリックシュリンプも楽しめるので是非！

I participated with my daughter. Both my daughter and I tend to get motion sickness, so we took some medication before joining. We usually do fine with regular boat rides, but we had to stop the boat and wait on the water for the whales to arrive. This is what made us feel nauseous.
All the announcements on the boat were in English.
The food seemed to be worth the price.
We were able to see a whale briefly, but I expected to see more, which is why I gave this rating.

娘と一緒に参加しました。私も娘も乗物酔いをする方なので、酔い止めを飲んで参加しました。通常の船の走行では大丈夫なのですが、クジラが来るのを待つために船を止め海上の上で待機するのです。これが、酔います。
船内の案内は全て英語です。
お料理は値段相応かしらという感じでした。
クジラは少しだけ見ることができましたが、もっと見れるんだと思っていたので、この評価となりました。

Great crew and sail. Wonderful view of Diamond Head. Even saw a few Sea Turtles.

This Hawaii travel was our 4th visit and 1st to Oahu, we actually had multiple times of Luau at the Maui, Big Island, Kauai and even in the Oahu.
I can definitely vote Rock-a-Hura show was one of our best show out of what we experienced many Luau show.
We took show + Luau dinner, surprising was hura dancers at the Luau are all real dancers of main rock-a-hura show, they are very kind and friendly during our Luau dinner, I even still remember our table host whose name is Megan, she was also performed in the main show. Every table had assigned a dancer as host and they were taking care of all dinner process and took picture together, isn't it amazing?
Main show also was wonderful, Michael Jackson, Elvis etc.. all rockers were amazing as well as hura dancers who's already known during Luau dinner.
I strongly recommend this show if you are staying at the Oahu.

It was very exciting. The view from Ala Moana Beach to Diamond Head was wonderful. When I signed up, it mentioned that only English instructors would be available, but they spoke a little Japanese.

非常にエキサイティングでした。アラモアナビーチからダイヤモンドヘッドまで一望できて景色も素晴らしかった。
申し込むときに英語のインストラクターのみと書いてありましたが、片言ですが日本語でしゃべってくれます。

I was able to see more dolphins than I imagined! There were lovey-dovey dolphins and baby dolphins cuddling with their mothers. They showed us their natural behavior, which made us smile. During snorkeling, I only saw one turtle, but I got to see plenty of tropical fish! Additionally, we enjoyed the acrobatic swimming of the guides underwater. Right after we set sail, we saw many turtles from the boat, so it turned out to be an amazing experience!

想像以上に沢山のイルカ達に会えました！ラブラブなイルカやおかぁさんに甘える子供のイルカ。自然な姿を見せてくれてこちらも思わず微笑みたくなるような場面もありました。シュノーケリングではカメさんには一匹しか会えませんでしたが、熱帯魚はたくさん見れました！さらにガイドさん達の水中でのアクロバチック？な泳ぎも楽しみました。出航してすぐに船の上からカメさんには沢山会えたので、結果最高の体験になりました！

This is my second time participating after a year. Last time, I only attended the show, so this was my first experience with the buffet. The staff were very kind, dancing close by, which made the meal enjoyable. And to my surprise, these staff members were also performers in the show! It felt very personal, and the fun was doubled. The content of the show was completely different from a year ago, making it feel fresh, and everyone's skill level was high. I definitely want to see it again when I come to Hawaii.

1年ぶり、２回目の参加です。
前回はショーのみだったので、ビュッフェ付きは初めてでしたが、
スタッフの方達がとても親切で、身近で踊ってくれたりと楽しく食事をすることが出来ました。
そしてなんと、このスタッフ達がショーの出演者でビックリ！
とっても身近に感じられて、楽しさも倍増しました。
ショーの内容も１年前とは全然変わっていて新鮮だったし、皆さんの技術力も高く、ハワイに来た際は又是非観たいと思いました。

At first it was terrifying because youre so high up but after the first 2 obstacles it was fun. Loved the swing!! The rock climning was hard for me because my arms were tired by then but overall i had fun. The instructor was very helpful and patient.

I was worried about the weather not being very good, but I signed up three days ago and participated. After it ended, we dispersed at the location, but since it was close to the Hilton, I was able to walk back to Waikiki and have lunch.

お天気があまり良くなく大丈夫かどうか心配でしたが、3日前に申し込みしての参加でした。終了後は現地解散でしたが場所がヒルトンの近くだったのでワイキキまで歩いて戻りランチできました。

Unfortunately, we were unable to encounter any whales during this cruise. However, the view of Hawaii from the sea was exceptional. I would definitely like to try again on a nice weather day.

残念ながら、今回のクルージングではクジラと遭遇する事は出来ませんでした。
でも、海から見るハワイの景色もまた格別でした。
またお天気のいい日に、ぜひチャレンジしてみたいと思います。

The pickup location is clearly indicated within the airport, making it easy to find, and the pickup process is smooth. The rates are also very affordable, including tips. You can use this service with peace of mind.

乗車場所は空港内から表示があるのでわかりやすく、ピックアップもスムーズ。料金もチップ込みで格安。安心して利用できる。

This is wonderful! Even though it started raining halfway through the ride, we continued and it was just amazing! I hadn’t ridden since I was a child, so I was very happy with the gentle horse they gave me.

It was my first time paragliding, and I had a lot of fun. There was also a pick-up service to the hotel, and the local staff were very entertaining and made the experience enjoyable. It would have been even better if the weather had been nice!

初めてのパラセイリングでしたが、
とても楽しかったです。
ホテルまで送迎もあり、現地の担当の方もすごく楽しませて頂き、面白かったです。
天気が良ければもっとよかったです！

Before the show, we had dinner at a buffet-style restaurant on the terrace of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center's fourth floor. We were first offered drinks, and we could choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Regardless of our choice, the drinks were served in Hawaiian-style cocktail glasses. The meal included a whole roasted pig, beef, salads, bread, desserts, and coffee, leaving us completely full. The dinner venue also featured hula performances and Hawaiian music, making the dining experience enjoyable. Finally, we entered the show venue and took our seats. The show was not only filled with impersonators of Elvis and Michael but also included hula dancing, Tahitian dancing, and fire dancing, making it a fantastic experience. I would love to see it again!

ショーの前に食事でした。ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターの４階のテラスみたいなところでブッフェ形式のディナーを頂きました。最初にドリンクサービスがあり、アルコール入りかノンアルコールかを選べました。どちらを選んでもハワイらしいカクテルグラスででてきました。食事は豚の丸焼きのほかビーフやサラダやパン、デザートやコーヒーまでありお腹いっぱいになりました。ディナー会場でもフラやハワイアンの曲の演奏もあり食事中も楽しめました。いよいよショー会場に入り席に着きます。ショーはプレスリーやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーだけでなくフラダンスありタヒチアンダンスありファイアーダンスありの盛沢山でとっても楽しめました。また観たいと思います！

My first surfing experience became a wonderful memory. Before I started, I was worried about whether I could ride the waves, but the instructor taught me patiently, and I was able to enjoy surfing with my friends. Some of the instructors spoke Japanese, so even if you're not very good at English, I think you'll have a great time. I was able to have photos taken while I was surfing, and I received them for free afterward. It was a bit disappointing that it was cold. Next time, I want to be able to ride bigger waves.

初めてのサーフィンは、良い思い出となりました。始める前は波に乗れるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方に丁寧に教えていただき、友人と楽しくサーフィンをすることができました。インストラクターの方の中には、日本語を話すことのできる方もおられ、英語があまり得意でなくとも、楽しめると思います。サーフィンを体験しているときの写真を撮ってもらうことができ、終わった後に無料でいただくことができました。寒かった点が少し残念でした。次回はもう少し大きな波に乗れるようになりたいです。

I participated in a 120M parasailing with my daughter early in the morning. Under the guidance of two cheerful instructors, we headed out to the vast ocean.

Parasailing while gazing at Diamond Head was amazing. The 8 minutes felt incredibly long. I was a bit concerned about seasickness, but it wasn't a problem at all. It might have been due to the waves that day.

Thank you for the wonderful time!

早朝１２０Mのパラセイリングに娘と参加。
陽気なインストラクター二人のガイドの元、大海原へ。。

ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めつつのパラセイリングは最高でした。
８分間がものすごく長く感じました。
船酔いが気になりましたが、特に問題はありませんでした。
その日の波の揺れによるかもしれません。

楽しい時間をありがとうございました！

The staff member was handsome and very accommodating. It was reassuring that he could speak a little Japanese. I would like to go again.

お兄さんがイケメンで対応が良かったです。
日本語も少し話せるようでしたので安心でした。また行きたいです。

The pickup bus was late, which made me a bit anxious, but the staff were very friendly and it turned out to be a fun time! While waiting to board the boat, they entertained us by letting us feed the fish! Parasailing was absolutely amazing! It was such a luxurious experience to look out over Waikiki from the sky in the morning! During the parasailing, the ascent was slow and there were no sudden jolts, so I felt stable and was able to fully enjoy the scenery without any fear!

迎えのバスがピックアップより遅くてヒヤヒヤしましたが、送迎の方が外国の方でしたがとっても感じよく楽しい時間でした！ボートに乗るまでの時間も魚にエサをあげたりと楽しませてくれました！パラセイリングはもう最高です！朝から海の空でワイキキを眺められるなんて贅沢な時間でした！パラセイリング中、上がるのもゆっくりで急な揺れなどもなく安定飛行で恐怖心もなく景色をしっかり楽しめました！

Everyone was very friendly out on the boats and helped us with whatever we needed!

I think it's the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful sea of Waikiki.

I couldn't see any dolphins, but I was able to encounter some whales. The staff on the boat were very friendly, and we had a wonderful time filled with laughter throughout the trip.

However, the boat can be quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. Thank you for a very enjoyable journey!

ワイキキの美しい海を堪能するのに最適だと思います。

イルカは見れなかったけれど、クジラには遭遇することができました。
船のスタッフさん達もとても感じの良い方々で、終始笑いの絶えない雰囲気で素敵な時間を過ごせます。

ただ、揺れが激しいので船酔いしやすい方は注意が必要です。
とても楽しい旅をありがとうございました！

I applied with a light heart, wanting to see a show that feels Hawaiian. The buffet food might not be suitable for those who dislike greasy dishes, but there was plenty of delicious meat and fish. It might be difficult to go back for more food due to the show and seating arrangements, but I think one plate will be satisfying.

As for the show, I enjoyed both traditional Hawaiian hula and fire dancing, as well as a rock show, and I was very satisfied with the ample time given. The cast members even came up to the second-floor seats during the show, so for those who want to shake hands, I recommend moving early after the buffet to secure seats in the front row or on the aisle.

By the way, if I were to go again, I think I would prefer a plan without the buffet.

なにかハワイらしいショーも観てみたいなと、軽い気持ちで申込みました。
ビュッフェの料理は、脂っこいのが苦手な人には向かないかもしれませんが、肉や魚の料理がたっぷりで美味しかったです。ショーや席の都合で、料理を何度も取りに行くのは難しいかもしれませんが、1皿でも満足できると思います。
ショーの方は、ハワイらしいフラやファイヤーダンスとロックショーの両方が楽しめ、時間もたっぷりで満足でした。
途中でショーのキャストさんが2階席まで来てくれたりもするので、握手などしたい方は、ビュッフェのあとは早めに移動し、最前列や通路側の席を確保すると良いと思います。
ちなみに、もし次回行くとしたらビュッフェ無しのプランでいいかな、とは思います。

It was amazing, encourage others to go. We saw a tail slap, fins, and a whale clear the water! Enjoyed it immensely. The captain even stayed out a little longer because we saw so many.

We originally tried to book the Star Line dinner cruise, but it was booked up. I'm glad we decided to book the Makani dinner cruise. It exceeded all of our expectations! The boat wasn't very big, but was able to accommodate up to 65 people.
The crew were very welcoming and willing to help with anything we needed during our ride. They really made the whole experience a lot more personable than we would have gotten if we booked the Star Cruise.
The food was a small buffet style selection. It was all you can eat, and was excellent! They don't have an open bar, but there's one free drink included in your purchase. The bartender Chris was a real cool guy. Probably the most popular guy on the boat. I can't seem to put my finger on why lol.
To cap the night off the fireworks over the water were amazing! To see Waikiki lit up and glaring with fireworks was the highlight for me. I would definitely recommend wearing a light jacket, possibly even some pants. It gets extremely windy during the ride!
If you're considering doing the dinner cruise you can't go wrong with the Makani!
