On the day of the trip, it was sunny, but there was a bit of a strong wind, and the waves felt high. For those who get seasick, taking motion sickness medication is a must.
We departed on time from the harbor next to Prince Waikiki. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the hotels from the sea were beautiful.
The staff were cheerful young men who kindly took photos of each group during the trip. It was also great that we could choose from different time slots: 8:00, 10:30, and 13:00, allowing us to fit it into our schedule.
当日は、晴れていましたが、少し風が強く、波も高いように感じました。船酔いする方は酔い止め必須です。
プリンスワイキキの横のハーバーから、定刻通りに出航しました。残念ながらクジラには会えませんでしたが、海の上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキビーチ、ホテル群の景色も良かったです。
スタッフの方々も、陽気なお兄さんたちで、合間にはグループ毎に写真を撮ってくれたりと、親切でした。
時間帯も、8時、10時30分、13時と選ぶことができて、自分たちの予定に合わせることができたのも良かったです。

We really enjoyed this laid back and super fun evening. Right after we set sail we saw an enormous sea turtle and several surfers who were fun to watch. Then we enjoyed a couple cocktails made by the crew which were great! Something for everyone including mock tails. We left the kids with family while we’re gone for just over 2 hrs, but school aged and pre-teens would probably really enjoy it as well. (The teens on-board all seemed thoroughly bored lol). We started heading back and a few minutes before sunset we stopped to watch the spectacular colors and views. That alone was completely worth it- it was so beautiful. Highly recommend and completely worth it!

The boat itself is fun. You can see the whale's tail. I think you can enjoy it even if you don't understand the English commentary. There is no seasickness. You can also order drinks. I think it's a good value for the price.

After making a reservation through VELTRA, I received an SMS with information in English about the meeting place and consent form. It might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English.
On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy and it was quite windy, which caused the boat to sway a lot, and I felt seasick the entire time. Although drinks were unlimited, I didn't feel like drinking alcohol in such rough conditions, so it was hard to get my money's worth.
Because of the clouds, I couldn't see much of the sunset either. Overall, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointing trip.
VELTRA経由で予約した後にSMSで英語の集合場所や同意書に関する案内が来ました。英語がわからないとややハードルが高いかもしれません。
乗った日の天候は曇りかつ風が強かったためか、船がものすごく揺れまして、始終船酔いでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、この揺れの中でお酒をガンガン飲む気分にはなれず、元を取るのは難しいと思われます。
曇りのためあまり夕日も見れず。
ちょっとがっかりな旅になりました。

Aloha Yukuri,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry you did not enjoy your time onboard with us! If needed, we do have Japanese Waivers available at check-in. We also sail rain or shine! Only in cases where the captain deems it 'un-sailable' is when we would cancel. Weather in Hawaii can be a little unpredictable at times.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you would like to discuss anything further.

The first time I saw the fireworks, it was great, but afterwards it was just drifting, so I think it would have been better if it had been shorter. Also, the music was loud like rock, and more relaxing music would have helped me unwind.
最初に花火を見た時は良かったが、その後は漂っているだけだったので、もっと短い時間で良かったと思う
また音楽もロックの様なうるさいもので、もっとゆったりした音楽の方がリラックス出来た

I signed up to experience something I usually wouldn't do in Japan. Unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, and we didn't get to see a beautiful sunset, but I had so much fun that I forgot about that. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was like a "Wanko Mai Tai" instead of "Wanko Soba," with Mai Tais being poured one after another. They also give you small bags of snacks, which makes you want to drink more.
There weren't many Japanese participants, but the receptionist, Miko, spoke Japanese. The staff's talk on the boat was in English, so I regretted not understanding the witty jokes. Next time, I want to join the fireworks sailing.
普段日本ではやらないことを体験したくて申し込みました。
生憎参加した日は雲が多く、きれいなサンセットではありませんでしたが、そんなこと忘れるくらい楽しかったです。
飲み放題アルコールは、マイタイが次々注がれる『わんこ蕎麦』ならぬ『わんこマイタイ』状態。スナック菓子の小袋がもらえるのでまたお酒が進みます。
日本人参加者はほとんどいませんが、受付のミコ嬢は日本語OKでした。
船上でのスタッフさんのトークは英語なので、軽妙なジョークが分からなかったのは悔しいなぁ。
次回は花火のセーリングに参加したいです。

There were no issues with the pickup from the hotel, the guidance to the boarding, or the transfer to the hotel after disembarking.
As for the whales, they would briefly appear at the surface and then dive below for about 15 minutes. Many participants were intently watching the surface of the water, and when a whale did appear, cheers erupted, with everyone shifting their gaze in that direction, repeating this process.
My initial expectation was to see the whales up close while being splashed by seawater, but it turned out to be more of a distant viewing experience. The captain made efforts to capture them on camera, but I felt that approaching this with high expectations carries significant risks.
集合ホテルからのピックアップ、乗船迄の誘導、下船後のホテルへの移動については全く問題ありませんでした。
問題のクジラですが、水面に僅かに姿を現したかと思うと、15分程度海面下に潜ってしまいます。
多数の参加者が目を凝らして海面を注視しているので、現れると歓声が上がり、そちらの方向に全員が視線を移す、と言う繰り返し。
事前のイメージでは、海水を浴びながらクジラを間近で見られる、と言うモノでしたが、かなり遠景でのウォッチングでした。
船長さんも努力下さり、何とかカメラには納められましたが、大きな期待を持って臨むにはリスクが高いと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are all disappointed that you weren't able to see enough whales. The captain did his best to make it happen, but we are glad you were able to see some. Please come again. We hope to have you experience many whales up close next time.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測が充分に見られなかった様子でスタッフ一同残念に思っております。出来る限りのことは船長も努力しておりますが少しでも見れたことを嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回は沢山のクジラを身近で観れたらと思います。

The crew on the boat was humorous, and we had a very enjoyable time. They took photos for us, and the service was excellent. The length of the sunset cruise was just right. Since you can swim in the sea at the points along the way, I think having snorkeling gear would make it even more enjoyable. I also recommend bringing a jacket as it can get cold. If I have the opportunity to go to Waikiki again, I would definitely like to use this service.
船のクルーはユーモアがあり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。写真を撮ってくれたり、サービスも満点です。
サンセットクルーズの長さもちょうど良いです。
途中のポイントの海で泳ぐことができるので、スノーケルがあるとより楽しめると思います。
また、寒くなるので上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。
またワイキキに行く機会があればぜひ利用したいです。
