Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. While it's part of the luck of the draw, I wished there had been more entertaining activities to enjoy.

残念ながら、クジラは見ることができませんでした。これは時の運もあるのでしょうがないのですが、それ以外にもっと楽しませるエンターテイメントが欲しかった。

サンセットセーリング スピリット・オブ・アロハ号 軽食&アルコール2杯付き&ソフトドリンク飲み放題<ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発>

December was cold!!! 12月は寒かった!!!

Reviewed by: 1111RW

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we wanted to enjoy a lovely sunset, so our family of four decided to take this cruise. We boarded from the pier right in front of the Hilton, and the kids were able to play on the beach during the waiting time, which made it a stress-free experience. When the sun began to set, we left our shoes before boarding and didn't need to bring much else. The boat was relatively large and had restrooms. There were benches in both a sheltered area to avoid the sun and wind, as well as an outdoor area. They offered light snacks, but it was just chips and cookies. That day, it was just us and one other couple from abroad. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, and we cruised until the city lights came on, but it was really windy and cold!!! I wore a long-sleeve shirt and a windbreaker, but my feet were bare and got chilly... The boat was rocking, and my 2-year-old got seasick and was in a bad mood. It was quite a long time, so I felt sorry for him. I think the atmosphere and facilities are good, so I recommend this for families with small children during warmer seasons!

ハワイ到着日にサンセットで素敵な雰囲気をと思い家族4人で利用しました。ヒルトンの目の前の桟橋から乗船するため、待ち時間も子どもたちは砂浜で遊ぶなどゆったりとストレスありませんでした。陽が傾きかけたころ、乗船前に靴を預けて裸足で乗る以外は特に持ち物は要りません。比較的大きな船でお手洗いもあります。陽射しや風を避ける壁がついたエリアと外のエリアにベンチがあります。軽食とありますがスナック菓子、クッキー程度です。その日は私たちと他外国人のご夫婦1組だけでした。残念ながらサンセットは見えず、その後街がライトアップするまでクルージングするのですが、何せ風もすごいし寒い!!!長袖にウィンドブレーカーを着ていきましたが、足元は裸足だし冷えました・・・。うねりがあって揺れたこともあり、2歳の子どもは船酔いしてしまい、機嫌も悪く、更に結構時間が長いので可哀想なことをしました。雰囲気設備は良いと思うので、小さなお子さんがいる方は暖かい季節をおススメいたします!

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Magic on the Sea

Reviewed by: James

We took this cruise as a final romantic night to complete out honeymoon, and couldn't have made a better choice! The crew was very friendly and entertaining, it felt as though they were a little family who'd invited us to enjoy their boat with them. Our bartender was a fun guy who poured great drinks, including their special "Hightide." I won't give away the recipe, but of course it involves significant parts Rum, Tropical Fruit, and Delicious.

Ship was smooth sailing, giving us a nice calm view of Waikiki and the setting sun across the Pacific. The route taken goes out from the harbor and past Diamond Head, allowing for a wonderful view of it. Hiking to see the view from atop Diamond Head is one thing, but seeing the whole peak from sea is quite another treat. You'll get the feeling of a visiting explorer from the past, watching that peak and shore slip into view. Only difference is you're on a luxury cruise with Hightide in hand and some great party music playing.

Our crew even managed to find us whales, and made sure we got a great view. Saw several surface, blowholes blasting, a fluke raise, and even a calf breach! Despite some other snorkel boats mentioning the possibility of whales, this was the first time we'd gotten to see them. Even more exciting that they were so close!

Thanks again to the whole crew for making this such a wonderfull sail. Loved the food and drinks, danced to the classic hits being played, sat on the mesh net across the double bow, and ended our honeymoon with a beautiful sunset on the sea.

Definitely booking the Makati again whenever we make it back to Waikiki!

For the price... 値段の割には…

Reviewed by: MA2016

Every year, I spend New Year's in Hawaii. This year, I decided to spend it on the Star of Honolulu and made a reservation. I chose the most luxurious plan, but when I got there, they packed in too many guests. The view from the front of the second deck was nice, but the amount of food served after 10 PM was overwhelming, and the meat was cold. The service was good, but I could hear the conversations of the people next to me.

The live jazz was great, but the neighboring room on the second deck seemed more casual with its food and had a hula show, which looked like more fun.

About 20 minutes before the countdown, we were guided to a spot where we could see the fireworks easily, but just before it started, there was an announcement in Japanese saying that the view was better from the opposite side. Everyone suddenly started moving to the other side, and when I asked the staff, they said it could be seen from both sides. Since the foreign guests didn't understand the announcement, many stayed put, and in the end, those who didn't move had a great view of the fireworks around Waikiki River and the Rum Fire area.

On the way back, we gathered again for the bus. We waited for about 20 minutes and finally headed home. I feel like it would have been better to watch from Kaka'ako Park.

毎年ハワイで年越ししています。今年はスターオブホノルルで過ごすことにして予約しました。
一番豪華なプランにして、いざ行ってみたら、客を詰め込みすぎ。二階の船の先端で、景色は良いけど食事は22時過ぎから食べきれない量、しかも冷めてるお肉とか。サービスは良いです。席は隣の会話まる聞こえ。
ライブジャズは良かったけど、二階の隣の部屋はリーズナブルな所なのか料理も少しカジュアルで、フラショーなどがあり、そちらの方が楽しそうでした。
カウントダウンの20分前に案内されて花火が見えやすい所を陣取っていたら、直前に日本語で反対から見えます、とアナウンス。一斉に皆反対に行きだし、スタッフに聞いたら反対からも見えますと。外国の方はアナウンスがわからないのでそのままだったりして、結局は移動しない方がワイキキ川、ラムファイヤーのあたりの花火がよく見えました。
帰りはまたバスに集合。20分くらい待ち、ようやく帰路につきました。
カカアコパークから見た方がよかったな、という気がします。

Honolulu Winter Wonderland & Christmas City Lights Double-Decker Bus Tour from Aloha Tower

Okay but not what I was expecting

Reviewed by: Melanie

It was a little hard to find the meeting spot, and the description of the tour didn't match what actually happened. First, I thought we would be on a smaller, old-fashioned trolley. We actually rode on a double-decker tour bus, and the fumes were awful on the lower level. The description of the tour said that we would make 2 circuits around Waikiki to see the lights and made no mention of getting off the bus at any time. But, we actually stopped at the extremely crowded Honolulu City of Lights for 30+ minutes, which I was not expecting.

Happy New Years Melanie!
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience with our Holiday Lights Tour. We were not clear enough in letting customers know that
they would be in double decker vehicles. We sincerely apologize. (The name of our company is The Waikiki Trolley but we actually have many types of
vehicles.)

Where did you read the description of our tour? Was it on our web site? The stop at Honolulu Hale is the highlight of this tour so I am concerned where
we missed that in the description you read. We really do appreciate you letting us know these things so we can continually improve.

If you could respond to jlawson@waikikitrolley.com that would be great!

I ended up spending Christmas in Hawaii, and since I was there, I booked this tour. I mistakenly went to the wrong meeting place and had to explain the situation to the tour company in my limited English. Fortunately, they responded quickly, and everything turned out fine, but I felt sorry for the other tour guests for the inconvenience.

The illumination felt a bit subdued. It might be more extravagant in Japan, but I think it's a nice way to enjoy Christmas in Hawaii.

Dear Kaoru,
Thank you for using the Holiday Lights Tour. I apologize for the miscommunication regarding the meeting point. The Honolulu City Lights is an event that local people look forward to every year during this season.

The sunset was absolutely beautiful! There were only my husband and I, along with one elderly parent-child pair, and the atmosphere was great with lively English-speaking guests! The staff didn't speak Japanese, but my husband and I, who can't speak any English at all, had no particular problems.
For those who will be boarding in the future, please note that a jacket is essential! I boarded on December 20, and it was very windy that day, so it got cold once we went offshore. It was also quite rocky! I'm not sure if there are restrooms available, but considering it's cold and you'll be drinking alcohol, please keep the restroom situation in mind when boarding.

夕日がとっても綺麗でした!日本人は私達夫婦とあと一組の年配親子だけで、ノリのよい英語圏の方ばかりでそれがまた雰囲気がよかったです!スタッフは日本語は通じませんでしたが、英語が全く話せない私達夫婦でしたが特に問題はなかったです。
これから乗る方に注意してもらうことは、上着は必須です!12月20日に乗ったのですが、この日はとっても風が強くて沖合に出ると寒かったです。そしてとっても揺れました!あとお手洗いが有るのか無いのかわからないですが、寒いしお酒も飲むのでお手洗いの事も考慮して乗船して下さい。

We made our own fun. I had to drive, so no alcool for me, but the gf got drunk with their delicious cocktail and champagne. It was friday, so we stayed on the waikiki beach waiting in line for the beach restaurant ShoreBird, watching the fireworks and coming inside to grill our own fosh afterward. It was a great night. I recommend going on a friday. We wanted to go to Chinatown after, for the first friday of the month (they have a celebration) but we got lost, and it was too late.

This was my 4th time seeing the lights. There were fewer lights then previous years. The worst part was not enough time was allowed for seeing the displays at the Hale building. The trolley was decorated nicely and the driver was pleasant but radio was used for music which was interrupted with talking. I doubt I will do this again due to parking cost added to ticket cost. :-(

I rode the Holokai Catamaran! ホロカイ・カタマラン号乗りました!。

Reviewed by: おったん。

On November 13, 2015, I took my first ride on the Holokai Catamaran. I actually wanted to book the dinner cruise I used last time, but it was fully booked, so I signed up for this plan instead. In the end, I think it was a good choice.

The meeting place was Waikiki Beach, so I could walk there from my hotel, the Hyatt Regency. I changed into clothes that I didn't mind getting wet and headed out. However, there are two "Outrigger" locations on Waikiki Beach, which unexpectedly made me a bit anxious.

That said, I arrived at the meeting place safely and was able to participate. We set sail at 5 PM and enjoyed a sunset cruise while sipping cocktails and beer.

There was no guidance in Japanese, so I spent some time observing, but I quickly got used to it and enjoyed 3 to 4 cocktails while swaying with the waves. The boat was small, so everyone around me quickly became friendly, but unfortunately, a bit of English proficiency is necessary here.

We encountered a light rain along the way, but there was no place to escape, so I just had fun with the other foreigners around me. After that, a rainbow appeared over Waikiki, which felt like a great bonus. The sense of connection with nature on a small yacht, which you can't experience on a dinner cruise, was truly the best.

I was worried about the restroom situation, but it wasn't as bad as I had feared, which was a relief. Well, I think it's best not to have to go at all, but... this is just my personal opinion.

If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to sign up for this again. Thank you!

2015年11月13日、ホロカイ・カタマラン号に初めて乗りました。

集合場所はワイキキビーチだったので、投宿先のハイアットリージェンシーからも
徒歩で行け、一旦ホテルで濡れても構わない格好に着替え、向かいました。
ただ集合場所の『アウトリガー』はワイキキビーチに2ヶ所あり、
想定外に焦ってしまいました。

とは言うものの、無事に集合場所へ辿り着き、参加できました。
5時に出航してカクテルやビールを飲みながら、サンセットクルーズを
満喫できました。

日本語でのガイダンスがなく、少し様子を見ながら、過ごしていましたが
すぐに慣れ、波に揺られながら、カクテルを3~4杯いただきました。
狭い船内なので、周囲では直ぐに打ち解けた様子でしたが、
ここは悲しいかな、多少の英語力が必要です。

途中で軽く雨にも当たられましたが、逃れる場所もなく、
ただただ周囲の外国人と一緒にはしゃぎ回ってました。
でもその後はワイキキの街に虹がかかり、お得感満載でした。
ディナークルーズでは味わえない、小さなヨットでの自然との一体感は、
やっぱり最高です。

危惧していたトイレも、覚悟したほどではなく、安心しました。
まぁ行かないに越したことは無いと思いますが、
…まぁこれは個人的な感想なので。

もしまたハワイへ行けるなら、また申し込みたいと思います。

100% feeling of being in Hawaii. ハワイに来た感100%

Reviewed by: nancy

It was very convenient to depart from the beach in front of the Sheraton Hotel where we stayed. There were about 50 people on board, and we were the only four Japanese. All the crew and other passengers looked foreign, and the language was English ONLY, so we couldn't understand the detailed explanations at all, but it actually made it feel more like we were abroad, which was fun.

Feeling the wind and the splashes of the waves while watching the sunset over Waikiki Beach created a sense of unity that you can't experience on a large ship, and it was the best.

Although there is a restroom available, it seems you have to open a lid about 50 cm on the deck and go down a vertical ladder (I saw two men go down), so I wouldn't recommend it for women.

私たちが泊まっていたシェラトンホテル前ビーチからの出航でとても便利でした。
定員50人ほどで、日本人は私たち4人だけ、クルー他乗客全員見た目も外人、言葉も英語ONLYで、細かな説明などはサッパリわかりませんでしたが、反って外国に来た感おお有りで楽しかったです。
風と波しぶきを感じながら、ワイキキビーチの夕暮れ、サンセットを見られて、大型船では味わえない一体感が最高でした。
お手洗いは有りとなってますが、デッキにある50㎝くらいの蓋を開けて、垂直はしごを降りていくようで(男性が2人ほどいかれてましたが)女性にはおすすめできません。

Makani Catamaran Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Drinks & Transportation

Wonderful Night in Hawaii!

Reviewed by: Ricky

I took my friend on this dinner cruise for her birthday gift and it was very enjoyable. Every time I'm on the Makani Sunset Dinner Sailing Cruise alway over the top amazing, the atmosphere aboard was terrific with great music and great crew. The crew was fabulous! The night views from cruise were tremendous and the food was very well done too. If you want something special while in Hawaii, you should go. You can also enjoy the beautiful sunset from offshore. Only advice I would give is they start serving food almost as soon as ship pulls out of port, it is almost dark. Interrupt your dinner to go out on deck to take pictures. I feel like I did not get enough pictures of sunset because it seemed to get dark very fast.
