Oahu
I participated with a friend. Riding on the Mai Tai and drinking Mai Tais!
Be careful not to drink too much; you'll want to go to the bathroom.
The scenery from the sea is beautiful and refreshing, different from what I usually see. Since there are few Japanese participants, you can really enjoy the overseas atmosphere.
The sunset was also beautiful, so I was very satisfied. I will participate again next time!
友達と参加しました。マイタイ号に乗って、マイタイを飲む!
飲みすぎ注意です。トイレに行きたくなります。
普段見ている風景とは違い、海からの景色もきれいで、水しぶきも気持ちいい!日本人の参加が少ないので、海外気分が味わえます。
夕焼けもきれいに見えたので大満足です。次回も参加します!
This was my second time, and I had a great time! The lively music is enjoyable for everyone, from the elderly to children, and the pleasant breeze, champagne, wine, and cocktails are all you can drink. Bringing snacks really boosts the mood! Being on the net is amazing; it feels like gliding over the ocean. The sunset was beautiful, and I saw couples kissing. There are restrooms available, so don't hesitate to use them; it will create good memories. Just be careful not to sit on the toilet lid—my friend's husband got stuck! Overall, I highly recommend this cruising experience.
今回で2度目でした とにかく楽しめますお年寄りから子供までのりの良い音楽に気持ち良い風 シャンパン ワイン カクテル すべて飲み放題つまみなんか持参でテンションあがりまくりです ネットの上は最高です まるで海の上をすべっているかのようサンセットもとてもきれいでカップルがキスしてましたよ トイレもあります 我慢するよりまずは使用してみてください良い思い出になりますよ ただしトイレのふたに座られないよう気お付けてください
友人の旦那様は座られてとじこめられました とにかくこのクルージングはお勧めです
The crew did a wonderful job. Travis was especially good at keeping all the guests adequately hydrated.
Please come back again soon! Aloha!
In the evening of the day, it started to rain, and I was worried about whether we could set sail. About 20 people were waiting on the sandy beach, with 7 to 8 of them being Japanese. When the rain lightened, boarding began. Looking up at the boat, I started to worry that there wouldn't be enough seats, and when I asked a staff member, she said "On the net," and I couldn't help but respond, "Huh?"
When I got on, all the guests were seated on a net stretched over the hull of the boat. Below was the sea, and we set sail just like that. It was a sturdy net, with no walls or roof, making it feel very wild. The sea breeze blew through, and it felt amazing. The waves weren't too big that day, and the rocking of the boat was comfortable, much less than I had worried about.
As we moved out, we could see the hotels of Waikiki, and when a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head (and it was a double rainbow), everyone cheered. There were unlimited drinks available, and you could choose from alcoholic options (cocktails, wine, whiskey) or non-alcoholic ones.
After a while, the catamaran slowed down as we waited for the sunset. By this time, everyone started to relax while enjoying their drinks. Listening to rock music, especially the cheerful Westerners began to dance, and there were couples taking lots of photos.
I had previously participated in a sunset dinner cruise on a large boat, but I remember being too busy with the meal to enjoy the sunset leisurely. In comparison, the catamaran felt much more open, giving a sense of unity with the sky and sea.
Isn't it perfect for those who want to calmly gaze at the ocean? In the end, we rode the waves while basking in the sunset, and the sensation was wonderful, almost like being on a surfboard, and before I knew it, we were back at the beach. It became an unforgettable and wonderful memory of Hawaii.
当日は夕方から雨が降り出し出航出来るか不安になりました。
砂浜に待つのは20人位、日本人は7〜8人でした
小雨になった頃乗船が始まりました。
船を見上げ、座席の数が足りないのではと、心配になった時、係りの女性に「オンザネット」と、言われて思わず「えっ?」
上がってみると、お客は皆んな船体に渡したネットの上に座わらされたのです。
下は海。そのまま出航です。
丈夫なネットです、壁は無し、屋根も無しとってもワイルドでした。
海風がそのまま吹き抜けて行き気持ち良い事最高です。
当日は波はそれ程大きくなく、船体の揺れも心配していたほどでは無く快適な乗り心地でした。
沖へと進みワイキキのホテル群が見える頃、ダイアモンドヘッドの上にに虹がかかり(しかもダブル)皆から歓声が上がりました。
飲み放題ドリンクが付いていてアルコール(カクテル、ワイン、ウイスキー)もノンアルコールもお好みで選べます。
暫くするとカタマランはゆっくりした動きになりサンセットを待ちます。
お酒を飲みながらこの頃になると皆寛ぎ始めました。
音楽(ロック)を聞き特に陽気な欧米人達は踊り出し、写真を撮りまくるカップルもいました。
以前、大きな船のサンセットディナークルーズにも参加した事がありますが、食事をするのに忙しくゆっくりサンセットを楽しめなかった記憶があります。それに比べカタマランはズット開放的で空と海と一体になった感じがします。
落ち着いて海を眺めたい人にはピッタリでは無いでしょうか?
最後は夕陽を浴びながら波に乗り、まるでサーフボードに乗っているようなスピード感が素敵で、あっという間にビーチに戻りました。
忘れられない素敵なハワイの思い出となりました。

We used this place for a meal with both families after the ceremony. On that day, the waves happened to be high, and since it was a buffet style, it was difficult for family members to go get food due to seasickness.
Since it’s not a large ship, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness. Other than that, I think it’s a tour where you can participate with peace of mind without worrying about language!
挙式後の両家合わせての食事の際に利用させて頂きました。
当日はたまたま波が高く、ビュッフェスタイルの為家族が船酔いしてしまい食事を取りに行く事が難しかったです。
大型船ではないので、船酔いをする方には向いていないかもしれません。
それ以外は言葉の心配もなく、安心して参加できるツアーかと思います!
I participated using a member monitor! Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was looking forward to the sunset. I was a bit anxious because I read in the experiences that there were no Japanese-speaking crew members, but surprisingly, I enjoyed the atmosphere☆
It was a mystery why there was almost an hour from the meeting time to the boat's departure...
The yacht was very stable, and the wind out at sea felt great. I was excited because we went further out than I imagined, but the foreigners were really into it (laughs).
There were nearly 30 people on board, but only about three groups were Japanese.
I couldn't understand the crew's English at all, but on the contrary, I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of being in a foreign country. After all, when walking around Waikiki, it's mostly Japanese people.
When drinks ran out, the crew would check on us♪
We were quietly enjoying the ride like typical Japanese, but next time, I definitely want to master at least conversational English to communicate with other guests.
会員モニターを利用して参加しました!初めてハワイに来たので、サンセットも楽しみにしていました。体験談に「日本語を話すクルーがいない」と書いていたので少し不安でしたが、意外に雰囲気で楽しめました☆
集合時間から船の出発まで1時間近くあったのが謎でしたが・・・・。
ヨットはとても安定していて、沖の風も気持ちよかったです。想像していたより沖合まで行くのでドキドキでしたが、外国の人たちはノリノリでした(笑)
30人近く乗っていましたが、日本人は3組くらいでした。
クルーの英語はまったく聞き取れませんでしたが、逆に外国にきた雰囲気を満喫できました。ワイキキ歩いてると日本人ばかりですからね。
飲み物なんかもなくなると、クルーが声をかけてくれます♪
私たちはいかにも日本人らしく静かに乗っていましたが、次回は是非日常会話程度の英語をマスターして他のお客さんとコミュニケーション取りたいと思えるツアーでした。
친구의 도움으로 예약을 해서 가게 됐는데
정말 멋진 시간이였다!!
귀여운 돌고래와 멋진 석양.... 그리고 친절한 직원들까지
하나 더! 함께 탄 사람들도 참 유쾌했다
다만 우리가 영어에 약해 어울리지 못했다는
점이 참 아쉽다
다음 기회에 또 다시 이용하리라
당신의 소중한 의견을 주셔서 감사합니다!
I have visited Hawaii other times ! And always make it a point to go on this catamaran, I meet the owner back in1996 and had my first ride than, his catamaran experience is the best! When visiting Hawaii this is the FIRST activity on my list of must do , also the same when my daughters visit, we love you!
Thanks again for a wonderful evening while their celebrating our 35 yr wedding .
We enjoyed this tour so much we decided to do it again our last evening in Waikiki! It was relaxing, exciting and fun at the same time. Very professional crew on board. Cher
On the last day of our honeymoon, we participated in this tour. We traveled from the hotel using the HIS trolley, and there was a meeting point just a short walk from the stop (I can't remember which stop it was). We joined in mid-May, and at the meeting time, the sun was still a bit high in the sky. After we set out to sea on the yacht, I think the sun began to set shortly after that.
There were only two groups of Japanese tourists, including us, possibly because none of the staff spoke Japanese. The other group seemed to understand English. We hardly understood any English, but we enjoyed the atmosphere anyway. Before boarding the yacht, they took pictures of each group. When we got off the yacht, they sold the finished photos for about $15. I was in a hurry to go to the restroom and ended up buying one, but it was a photo of me with my eyes closed, so honestly, I didn't need it. I think I could have refused if I wanted to.
The yacht is anchored on the sandy beach, so you have to leave your shoes before entering the water and then board the yacht. Instead of chairs, you sit on a net arranged in a circle, so I regretted wearing a skirt.
As soon as the yacht set sail, they offered drinks. I think they had cola, wine, cocktails, and beer, all of which were unlimited. The cocktail was probably a Mai Tai. I ended up drinking too much and had to go to the restroom, which was quite a struggle.
The view of Waikiki from the yacht was beautiful, and although it wasn't raining at sea, there were rainbows appearing in various places around Waikiki. Above all, the sunset was exceptional. Watching it from the sea offered a different beauty than seeing it from the beach. It was truly enjoyable, and I think it created wonderful memories for our honeymoon. However, it would have been even better without the worry about the restroom.
I thought I wasn't too weak with alcohol, but I felt quite tipsy after two Mai Tais. The yacht was swaying, and perhaps because it was a bit chilly, I really had to go to the restroom after a while. So, be careful not to drink too much.
But aside from that, it was truly the best memory!
新婚旅行の最終日にこのツアーに参加しました。
ホテルからHISのトロリーで移動し停留所(どこの停留所か忘れましたが)から歩いてすぐのところに集合場所がありました。
5月の中旬の参加でしたが集合時間にはまだ日が少し高いところにありヨットで海に出てしばらくして日が沈んだような気がします。
スタッフで日本語を話せる方は全いないためか日本人観光客は私たち含めて二組のみ。もう一組の方は英語がわかる方だったようです。私たちは英語がほとんどわかりませんがなんとなく雰囲気だけ楽しみました。
ヨットに乗る前に一組ずつ写真を撮ってくれます。そしてヨットから下りる時に出来上がった写真をたしか15ドルほどで売ってきます。私はすぐにトイレに行きたくてそれどころではなかったため買ってしまいましたが目を閉じている写真だったので正直いらなかったです。断ろうと思えば断れたと思います。
ヨットは砂浜に停留しているので乗る前に履物を預けて一度海に入ってから乗るかたちになります。ヨットの上はいすではなく網を張られた上に円を描くように座るのでスカートをはいていったことを後悔しました。
ヨットが出るとすぐに飲み物の案内が入ります。コーラとワインとカクテル、ビールだったような気がしますがどれものみ放題です。カクテルはおそらくマイタイだと思われます。飲みほうだいでのみすぎてトイレに行きたくなり結構苦労しました。
ヨットから眺めるワイキキはとてもきれいで、海は雨ではありませんがワイキキのあちこちで雨が降っていたのか虹が2本くらい出ていました。
何よりサンセットは格別です。海の上から見るとのビーチで見るのではまた違ったよさがありました。本当に楽しかったし、とてもいい景色を心に刻めて素敵な新婚旅行になったと思います。がトイレの心配がなければもっと良かった。
お酒はあまり弱くないと思いましたがマイタイ2杯で結構よったような気がします。ヨットも揺れますし、肌寒いのもあってかと思いますが途中からとてもトイレに行きたくて仕方かなったです。のみすぎには注意ですね。
でもそれさえなければ本当に最高の思い出です!
We had an excellent time! Wanted to go again, but ran out of time. We will go back to Hawaii, and we will do this sunset booze cruise again!
Despite having a reservation, my name was missing at check-in. I was able to explain the situation and board, but I would like better communication. The Sunset Cocktail Cruise itself was great; the crew was friendly, and I enjoyed cocktails (Mai Tai), juice, and snacks. Also, I participated alone, but I can assure you that a woman traveling alone can enjoy it just as much.
予約していたにもかかわらず、Check-in時に私だけ名前が無く状況を説明して乗る事が出来ましたがしっかり連絡をつけて欲しいです。サンセット・カクテルクルーズそのものはクルーも親切でカクテル(マイタイ)・ジュース・スナック等頂きました。また、私は1人参加でしたが女性1人でも十分楽しめます。
I've always wanted to ride a catamaran. Whenever I go to Hawaii, I end up packing my schedule too tightly and miss the sunset, watching the catamarans return to the beach with envy.
This time was my first experience, and it was amazing to enjoy a drink on board while looking at the deep blue sea and watching the setting sun... it was the best.
I definitely want to ride it again next time.
ずっと乗りたかったカタマラン
いつもハワイに行くと、予定を詰め込みすぎてサンセットタイムに間に合わず
ビーチに帰ってくるカタマランを指を咥えて眺めていました。
今回は初めての体験でしたが
船上でアルコールを飲みながら真っ青な海を見て
沈みゆく太陽を眺める・・・最高でした。
次回も絶対に乗りたいです。
I have been to Hawaii many times.
However, I always just watched the catamaran.
I had decided to ride it someday, but I always ended up filling my schedule with other plans and regretting it.
But this time, I successfully made a reservation for the first time!
We were supposed to meet in front of the Outrigger at 16:45, but we were kept waiting, and the departure was at 17:30.
Everything was in English (as expected), and I couldn't catch much because it was quite fast-paced, but beer, wine, and sparkling drinks were free.
Everyone paid $10 for the Mai Tai, but that was only at the beginning. After that, the staff kept pouring as soon as they saw our glasses were empty.
The cruise lasted a total of an hour and a half, and I was able to enjoy a very elegant time while viewing Diamond Head from a different angle and looking out at the sea off Waikiki.
Of course, the sunset was also amazing.
I will definitely make a reservation next time. I think it would be nice to go twice during my stay.
ハワイには何度も行っています。
が、いつも眺めているだけのカタマラン。
いつか乗ろうと決めていましたが何だかいつも慌ただしく予定を入れてしまい
後悔ばかりしていました。
が今回初めて申し込みに成功!
アウトリガー前に16:45に集合でしたが、ずっと待たされ
出航は17:30でした。
全部英語(当然ですが)かなりハイスピードで聞き取れませんでしたが
ビール、ワインやスパークリングは無料でした。
マイタイだけが皆さん10ドル払っていましたが、それも最初だけ。
あとはスタッフさんが空になったのを見計らってどんどん注いでいましたよ。
合計1時間半のクルーズでしたがダイアモンドヘッドを別方向から見たり
ワイキキ沖の海を眺めながらとっても優雅な時間を過ごせました。
もちろんサンセットも最高でしたよ。
次回も必ず申し込みます。
滞在中、2回は乗っても良いと思います。
I signed up because the reviews were good. However, despite having a reservation, I received requests to change the schedule twice—once in Japan and once in Hawaii. In the end, I couldn't participate due to scheduling conflicts. Both times, the reason for the changes was that they had accepted my reservation even though there was already a private booking. Of course, I will get a full refund for the cancellation fees, but it was very disappointing that the trip I was looking forward to was ruined. It may have just been a coincidence that these issues occurred, and I understand that I chose this tour myself, but I was really hoping my family would enjoy our first trip to Hawaii, so it was very disappointing.
口コミで評判が良かったので、申し込みました。しかし予約が取れていたにもかかわらず、日本で1回、ハワイ現地で1回、計2回も日程変更のお願いの連絡が入り、結局スケジュールがあわず参加できませんでした。2回とも変更の理由は貸切の予約が入っているにも関わらず予約をOKしていたとの事でした。もちろんキャンセル代は全て返金してもらいますが、せっかく楽しみにしていた旅行が台無しでした。たまたまこういった事が重なったのかもしれませんし、このツアーを選んだのも自分ですのでしょうがないとは思っていますが、初めてのハワイ旅行を家族に楽しんでもらうために計画していたのに非常に残念な思いをしました。
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused due to the arrangement issues during your trip. Unfortunately, we had back-to-back private bookings on your desired date, which ultimately resulted in us being unable to accommodate you. We have communicated with the operating company to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future. We would be grateful if you could consider using our services again in the future. Once again, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused.
この度はせっかくのご旅行にも関わらず、手配の不備によりご迷惑をおかけし大変申し訳ございませんでした。ご希望の日に続けて貸切が入ってしまい、お客様へは最終的にご案内できない結果となってしまいました。催行会社へも今後同じような事が発生しないよう、十分に管理するよう伝えております。また機会がございましたらご利用いただけたら幸いでございます。この度は本当に申し訳ございませんでした。Alan1.net

Went on the Friday night fireworks dinner cruise. Must admit that the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Food was better than expected, boat was smooth, position for the fireworks was good (could have been closer I think). Was not rushed, felt like the crew was there to help us have fun - unlike other places that make you feel like a transaction...
Last May, when I went to Hawaii, I went on a dolphin tour, and this time I decided to go see whales. I went this year. The boat was large, and I didn't feel seasick, so it was comfortable. We were able to see whales off the coast of Waikiki. We caught glimpses of their backs a few times. Unfortunately, we didn't see any jumps or big tails, but I was moved by my first encounter with whales. If I get the chance again, I would like to challenge myself to go in the middle of winter.
昨年5月にハワイに行った時イルカのツアーに行って次はクジラを見に行こうということで今年行ってきました。船は大きくて船酔いもなく快適。ワイキキ沖でクジラを見ることができました。背中の一部が数回。流石にジャンプとか大きな尻尾は見ることはできませんでしたが、初めてのクジラ遭遇には感動しました。また機会があれば、真冬にチャレンジしたいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the whales, even just a little. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

Fortunately, the weather was nice (though the wind was really strong), and we were able to see a few whales. However, it was indeed difficult to capture them with my iPhone. In the photos, they appear distant, but in reality, they were a bit closer. Filming was also challenging because it was hard to predict where the whales would appear. I missed several opportunities to actually see them because I was so focused on filming. At first, there were announcements indicating the direction to look, but by the time we were heading back, there were no announcements. Just before we arrived, we spotted a whale near the shore, but it's unclear how many people noticed it. There were free activities like lei-making and ukulele lessons on the first floor of the boat, so most people participated. My sister and I didn't join and were on the second or third floor, just gazing out at the sea. I think it was mentioned that the Star of Honolulu tends to sway, but I didn't get seasick. Since the meal wasn't included, we freely ate what we had bought at the supermarket. To be honest, I wished I could have seen more whales jumping out of the water. Lastly, I believe the shuttle service would have cost an extra $12, so we took The Bus number 19 to the event location. On the way back, there was a bus stop very close by, so we were able to return smoothly. (The return bus also had signs indicating stops at Ala Moana Center and Waikiki Beach.)
幸い天気にも恵まれ(風は凄く強かったが)クジラも少しみれた。ただiPhoneで撮影するのはやはり難しい。写真で見ると離れて見えるが実際はもう少し距離が近かった。ビデオ撮影もどこから出現してくるかわからないので、撮影が厳しかった。また撮影に夢中で実際に目でみる機会を何度か失ってしまった。始めのうちはアナウンスで何時の方向に見えると教えてくれるが、帰る頃はアナウンスがない。到着間際に岸の近くにクジラを発見した。ただ気づいた人がどれだけいるかは不明。無料でレイ作りやウクレレなど船の1Fで開催していたので、大抵の人たちが参加していた。私たち姉妹は参加せず2Fだったか3Fだったか?!にいて、海をぼーっと眺めていた。スターオブホノルル号は揺れやすいと掲載されていた気がするが、船酔いもしなかった。食事付きでなかったので、スーパーで買って来た物を自由に食べていた。欲を言えばもっとクジラが海の上に飛び跳ねてる姿を見たかったのが本音です。最後に送迎付きだとプラス$12くらいするはずだったので、ザ・バスの19番に乗って開催場所まで行った。帰りもすぐ近くにバス亭があるので、スムーズに帰れた。(帰りのバスもアラモアナセンターやワイキキビーチ行きとバスに表示が出ていたはず)
It was a very impressive ship, and I was excited from the start! The leisurely cruise was very pleasant, and the captain pointed out the direction where we could see the whales, so we didn't miss the opportunity to see them. We were able to see multiple whales, and they put on various performances, leaving me in awe during my first whale watching experience!
とても立派な船で、最初からテンションが上がりました!
のんびりとクルーズする時間はとても心地よく、
船長さん?が、クジラの見える方角を言ってくださるので、タイミングを逃すことなく
見ることができました。
クジラも複数見ることができ、いろんなパフォーマンスを見せてくれ、
初めてのホエールウォッチングで感動しっぱなしでした!
Thank you very much for boarding the Star of Honolulu. The chances of seeing whales are high during this season. If you have another opportunity, please do board again. We look forward to your visit.

On March 20th, my spouse and I participated. As seen in the reviews, the sunset was beautiful, and the atmosphere on the boat was friendly, making it a fantastic experience. We were lucky to also do some whale watching that day. Thank you for the happy time. Mahalo!
3月20日に、夫婦で参加しました。口コミで見た通り、夕日が綺麗に見え、船内もフレンドリーで最高に楽しめました。当日は、たまたまホエールウォッチングも出来てラッキーでした。(^ ^)
幸せな時間ありがとうございました。 マハロ〜♪( ´θ`)ノ
My wife, 11 month old daughter, and boarded the Star of Honolulu, on the One Star package. The night started with a Mai Tai, which was quite strong (coming as a surprise to me as in my experience, “welcome drinks” tend to be very watered down), and we were taken to our table with our appetizers ready and waiting for us. The food was fantastic! I’m going to be honest; I had low expectations for the food. All you can eat crab on a ship, generally does not mean “high quality” to me. And boy was I proven wrong. The crab especially was very tasty, and my wife and I definitely took advantage of the “all you can eat” description. The show was also very fun to watch, with examples of dances of different styles from around Polynesia. The service from our waiter, Chad, was excellent as well: my water was never empty, empty plates were taken as soon as I was finished, and the crab kept coming. I’ve already suggested the Star of Honolulu to family members for when they visit.
It was very good. We used the shuttle from Aulani on February 27 with four children and three adults. We had a lot of fun. I recommend it. There were events on the boat, such as hula dance and ukulele workshops, which were enjoyable. It was unfortunate that the hula dance instructor felt sick from seasickness. However, the boat didn't sway as much as I expected. I think the lunch was reasonably priced.
Perhaps it was the right season, as we were able to see whales multiple times. Also, it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean perspective, as I had never seen them that way before.
In any case, the children were happy, and I highly recommend it!
とても良かったです.アウラニからの送迎で,子供4人大人3人で2月27日に利用させていただきました.とても楽しかったです.お薦めです.舟の中では,フラダンスやウクレレの講習会などのイベントがあり,楽しませていただきました.フラダンスの先生が船酔いで具合悪かったのが,残念でした.とは行っても,舟は思ったほど揺れてませんでした.お昼の食事は,値段相応かと思います.
時季が良かったのでしょうか,クジラを何度も見られました.また,ワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドを海からの角度から見たことがなかったので,これもまた良かったです.
とにかく,子供も喜んでいましたし,お薦めです!!
The morning started off with a leisurely pickup, and the bus was comfortable. The boat was very clean, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike!
I had heard in a post that we might only see small whales, so I honestly approached it with a cruising mindset, but we were fortunate enough to see mother and baby whales jumping one after another!
The lunch was delicious, and the afternoon workshops, including ukulele, hula, and lei-making, were fun and enjoyed by everyone.
At the end, they asked if there were any birthday celebrants or newlyweds, and when the honeymooners gathered in front, they sang Hawaiian songs with a guitar, creating a wonderful time for everyone to celebrate.
I highly recommend it!
朝もゆっくりピックアップで、バスも快適。
船もとてもきれいで、家族、カップル、友達同士どんな旅行でも
楽しめる内容でした!
投稿で『小さい鯨の姿が見える程度』と聞いていたので、正直
クルージング感覚で行きましたが、鯨の親子が次々にジャンプ!
とても恵まれていました。
ランチも美味しいし、午後のワークショップもウクレレ、フラ、レイ作りと
楽しく皆満喫していました。
最後には誕生日の方か新婚さんはいますかー?前に出てーっと言われて、
ハネムーナーが前に集まると、ギターでハワイアンソングを歌ってくれて、
みんなで祝福する素敵な時間となりました。
本当におすすめですよー
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
We are glad you were able to encounter an active mother and baby whale!

I had so much fun watching the whales that I lost track of time. I want to go again. Next time, I will bring binoculars. However, when it was time to take the bus back, I was late getting off the boat, so I had to look for the bus.
くじらを見ることに時間を忘れるほど
楽しかった。また、行きたい。今度は双眼鏡を持って行きます。ただ、帰りのバスに乗る時に、船から降りるのが遅かったので、バスを探しました

Excellent value, responsive and didicated to service. Thanks
I participated with my wife and sister. It was really great. We had planned to enjoy a sunset and fireworks while having dinner and a beer on a yacht cruise, but something unexpectedly wonderful happened. --- A whale jumped right next to the yacht! Everyone was surprised, shouting "Wow!" and it was a big commotion on the yacht! Afterward, we disembarked while enjoying the starry sky with a beer in hand. I want to go again!
妻と姉の3人で参加しました。メッチャ良かったです。サンセットと花火をディナーを食べながらビールを一杯飲んでヨットでクルーズの予定が、うれしい予定外のことがありました。---ヨットからすぐ傍でクジラがジャンプ!モーみんなびっくり、キャー・ワー、ヨット中大騒ぎ!ビール片手に星空鑑賞しながら下船。また行きたいなあё
I boarded the ship on February 28th, and the weather was wonderful. The sunset over Diamond Head and the Hawaiian breeze felt great... I even saw whales, it was just amazing! Next time, I want to go with my family.
2月28日に乗船しました、天候にも恵まれ夕日にダイアモンドヘッドそしてハワイの風が気持ちいい…鯨まで見れてもう最高!次回は家族で行きたいです。
Since nature is the main factor, I didn't have overly high expectations, but I was able to see many whales and dolphins. I think I was just lucky. The price was also reasonable, and I was very satisfied. Additionally, I had no issues with seasickness, which was my biggest concern.
自然が前提なのであまり過度な期待はしなかったのですが、鯨も、そしてイルカもたくさん見ることができました。たまたまラッキーだったんだと思います。
お値段も安かったし、大満足です。
そして一番心配だった船酔いも全く問題ありませんでした。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed not only the whales but also the dolphins.
