I was able to see whales! クジラ見れました！

Reviewed by: ガガ

We participated as a couple in our 70s. First of all, the view from the ship was amazing! We were able to see the buildings of Hawaii and Diamond Head from the sea side, and we enjoyed it even when we couldn't see any whales. We spotted whales about three times! Although we couldn't see their entire bodies, we were able to see their tails and the spouts. The interior of the ship was spacious, and we could go out to the deck from various levels, which made it fun to experience the different views. Right after boarding, there was a photo session, and we received the developed photos at the end. Onboard, we could purchase light snacks, soft drinks, and alcohol.

70歳夫婦で参加しました。
まず、船内からの眺めが最高でした！ハワイの建物やダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から見ることができ、クジラが見れないときも楽しめました。
クジラは３回ほど見えました！身体全体は見えなかったですが、尻尾や潮吹きの様子を見ることができました。
船内は広くいろいろな階からデッキに出ることができ、移動してそれぞれの景色の違いも楽しかったです。
乗船してすぐに写真撮影があり、最後に現像したものを頂けました。船内では軽食やソフトドリンク、アルコールも購入できました。

I want to experience it at least once when I come to Hawaii. ハワイに来たら一度は体験したい

Reviewed by: モコちゃん

It was a bit disappointing that the departure was slightly delayed, leaving us with less time to see the sunset. However, everything else met my expectations. I especially want to experience the excitement of the Hawaiian show, where everyone comes together.

出航が若干遅れ、サンセットを見る時間が少なかったのは残念でした。ただそれ以外は期待通り。特にハワイアンショーで一体となった盛り上がりはぜひ体験したいものです。

I couldn't see any whales, but it was a great cruising experience! クジラは見えなかったけど良いクルージングになりました！

Reviewed by: あいう

Meet at Pier 8 near Aloha Tower at 8:00 AM.
There is a shuttle service, but you can also take The Bus from Waikiki for just $3 one way!
I arrived before 8:00 AM, and check-in started right at 8:00, with check-in open until around 8:30. It's definitely better to arrive early.
We departed on time, and the female guide spoke various things in English to the participants, but I couldn't understand anything. (laughs)
After that, we were told we could freely move around the deck, and I looked out at the sea from the third floor, searching for whales.
The explanations about the whales were given alternately in English and Japanese, which was very educational and enjoyable.
Later, we heard an announcement about the direction of a spout, and everyone stared in that direction, but we didn't see any whales until the end of the cruise.
Well, it's nature, so it can't be helped.
That said, the view of Diamond Head from the sea was very beautiful, and it was a great experience.
When we were getting off the boat, there was an announcement that those who wanted could get tickets to ride again. If you're confident in your English, feel free to ask.
Considering the time I had in Honolulu, I thought it would be impossible to try again, so I didn't reschedule this time. After all, there's no guarantee that I would see anything next time either...
It was a fun experience. Thank you very much.

８時にアロハタワー近くのピア８集合。
送迎があるけどワイキキから出てるザバスで向かえば片道３ドルで行けます！
８時前に着き、８時ちょうどにチェックイン開始、８時半くらいまでチェックイン受け付けてた印象です。早く行くに越した事は無いですが。
時間通りに出航し、まず添乗員の女性が参加者に向かって色々英語で話してましたが全く分からず。笑
その後は自由にデッキを移動して良いと言われ、3階から海を眺めクジラを探しました。
クジラについての説明が英語と日本語交互で行われ、とても勉強になったし楽しかったです。
その後、潮吹きが何時の方向で見えましたのアナウンスを聞きみんなでそちらの方向を凝視するもクルージング終了までクジラは現れず。
まあ、自然相手なので仕方ないですね。
とは言え海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗で、良い体験になりました。
船を降りる時、希望者はまた乗れるチケットをくれるとアナウンスがありました。英語で伝えられる自信がある人は言ってみてください。
ホノルル滞在時間を考えるとまたチャレンジするのは無理かなと思い、今回は特段振り替えませんでした。次乗った時見れるとも限りませんからね、、、。
楽しい経験になりました。ありがとうございました。

ノバファイブスター サンセットディナークルーズ スターオブホノルル号 最上階の専用フロア＆プライベートテーブルでいただくプライムテンダーロイン付き5コース

The most fantastical time on a cruise ship nestled between the sunset and the coastal hotel views. 夕日と海岸沿いのホテルの夕景に挟まれたクルーズ船での最高に幻想的な時間

Reviewed by: kimura

This time, since it was my first visit to Hawaii in a while, I booked a dinner cruise for the last day. We were guided to the fourth floor, which featured a gorgeous space and a spacious deck. You can immediately tell it’s a special setting. The sunset view across the sea from the window, combined with the magical beauty of the sunset, creates the perfect location. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but everything was delicious with delicate seasoning. By the time we reached the main course, I was usually quite full, and even if they served a steak with an overly marbled texture at that point, I could only manage a bite. However, the steak had a good balance of texture, which I personally rated highly. There was piano music, saxophone, and live jazz singing, creating an extraordinary atmosphere that matched the dress code. The captain greeted each guest, and the staff's attentive service was refined. Since I participated with my spouse, I imagined how wonderful it would be to spend this special time with all our children as well. I definitely want to participate again. T.K

I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first sunset cruise on the Honolulu. Perhaps because it was a weekday, all the middle seats were empty, and we were seated by the window with a view. The atmosphere was very nice, and the guests, wearing bright red dresses, added a touch of elegance to the space. The course meal included an appetizer of assorted cheeses, a salad (with lobster), a sorbet in between, thick-cut roast beef with truffle mashed potatoes, cheesecake, and coffee. Everything was truly delicious, and I could really feel the quality of 5A. With live performances, it was a dinner cruise that left me completely satisfied. S.K

今回は久しぶりのハワイという事で、最終日にディナークルーズを予約。
4階部分に案内され、ゴージャスな空間と、広めのデッキ。
特別な空間とすぐにわかります。
窓から見れる海を挟んでの夕景は、日の入り時の幻想的な美しさと合わさって、最高のロケーションに。
食事はあまり期待していませんでしたが、繊細さを持つ味付けでどれも美味しい。
メイン料理に辿り着く頃、大抵満腹近くなり、そのタイミングで霜降り過ぎる肉質のステーキなど出されても到底一口しか食べれないが、バランスの良い肉質のステーキで、個人的には◎。
ピアノ演奏、サックス、ジャスの生歌があり、ドレスコードに合った演出に、非日常感があります。
キャプテンが一人一人に挨拶され、スタッフの方の丁寧なもてなしも洗練されたものがあります。
今回夫婦で参加したため、子供たちもみんな連れてこの特別な時間を過ごせたらと想像した程素晴らしい時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
是非また参加したいです。
T.K

サンセットクルーズは何度か参加しましたが、
ホノルル号でのサンセットクルーズははじめてでした。
平日という事もあってか、真ん中の席は全て空いていて、景色が見える窓際に案内されました。
雰囲気もとても良く、来てるお客さまも真っ赤なドレスなど一流の雰囲気を醸し出され、空間に華を添えています。
コース料理も前菜チーズ盛合わせ、サラダ（ロブスター付き）、一度シャーベットを挟み、
厚切りローストビーフにトリュフ入りマッシュポテト、チーズケーキとコーヒーでした。
どれも本当に美味しくて流石5Aだなと感じました。
生演奏ライブもあって大満足のディナークルーズでした。

It was a senior trip with three friends, and we were blessed with great weather; the sunset and location were perfect. I was able to listen to Hawaiian music live for the first time in a while, and I had a wonderful time enjoying the elegant dance and delicious food. Recently, it felt like luaus have been focusing mainly on hula and fire dancing, so I was really happy to hear Hawaiian songs live. If I have the chance again, I plan to visit once more.

友人3人のシニア旅でしたが、天気にも恵まれて、夕陽もロケーションも最高でした。
久々にハワイアンを生歌で聞く事ができ、優美な舞と食事に満足した時間を過ごせました。
最近のルアウ・ショーはフラ＆ファイヤーダンスだけに重きをおいている感じがしていたので、ライブでのハワイアン・ソングは嬉しかったです。
またチャンスがあれば、訪れようと思います。

The event began on time with a glass of champagne. I must admit that the food was better than expected. The staff waited to serve each course until we were at the table, as we often went out to take air between courses and take pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a short dinner cruise with romantic/relaxing ambiance.

NOVA FIVE STAR, MORE LIKE TEN STARS!

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

Nova Five Star package should be renamed to, 'Ten Star.' The reason being this package was over the top elegant, professional, and accommodating. Each table had their own charcuterie board, which was perfect snack to get the evening started.

The meal was served in an order that was so unique. I had never had sorbet in the middle of a meal, and I'm still dreaming of the texture and flavor. The presentation/ quality of food was very impressive. Each course amazed me more and more!

The music throughout the meal was so relaxing, and set the mood for a delightful evening. If you are looking for an intimate evening with your loved one, this is the package for you!

Mahalo to SOH for going the extra mile to create a magical space!

Beautiful ambiance and delicious meal!

Reviewed by: Ms.Ems

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

We did the dinner cruise with the Nova Five Star on the 4th deck of the boat and it was a treat and we really had a great time. Their table set up at the Super Nova Room was so beautiful, clean, so organized, and elegant! We had our own private table seating next to the window and we enjoyed the night view even without having to explore the boat.

We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious dinner. The steak was exceptionally tender, and the fresh fruit sorbet was our favorite. The servers provided excellent service as well, and the entertainment complemented the rainy weather, creating a more relaxing atmosphere.

Anyone looking for a romantic celebration on Valentine's Day, Anniversary, or any special occasion, the NOVA Five Star aboard the Star of Honolulu is an ideal choice.

For those seeking for a smaller crowd and more privacy, I would recommend booking the Nova Five Star cruise on Thursdays as it is not as busy as on the weekends.

Reviewed by: あけちゃん

It was a windy day, so perhaps due to that, the boat rocked quite a bit. With the wind and the cold, I think it's better to have a jacket. I didn't get seasick, possibly because the motion sickness medication worked for me, but I saw several people looking unwell, so I recommend taking the medication.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any whales until the end, but I will try to think of it as having enjoyed the cruising experience. However, it was mentioned that if we didn't see any whales, we would receive a ticket for a future ride, but I didn't receive one. There weren't any other available dates for me, so it's not a big deal if I don't get one, but just for your reference.

風の強い日でしたので、その影響もあるのか船はかなり揺れました。
風もあり寒いので上着があった方がいいと思います。私は酔い止め薬が効いたのか、船酔いはしませんでしたが気分が悪そうにしている人を何人か見かけたので薬は飲んでおいた方がいいかと思います。
肝心のクジラは最後まで見えなくて残念でしたがクルージングを楽しんだと思うことにします。
ただ、見れなかったときは次回乗れる券がもらえるようなことが書いてありましたが、もらえませんでした。日程的に他に空いてる日はなかったので、別にもらえなくてもいいのですが、参考まで。

We participated as a group of four, with two adults and two children. We opted for the shuttle service.

After boarding, we had a little time and were able to enjoy breakfast with the bread we brought along.

The onboard announcements (in English) inform you about the direction to look for whales, so I don't think you'll miss them.

We were able to see the whales spouting water and their tails multiple times. Unfortunately, we didn't get to witness a whale jumping out of the water. However, it was a fun experience, and we felt the presence of the whales more than we expected.

It can be quite windy, so having a long-sleeved jacket is advisable.

乗船してから少し時間があり、持ち込んだパンで朝ごはんを取る余裕がありました。

船内アナウンス(英語)で、時計のどの方向にクジラが見えるか教えてくれるので、見逃してしまうことはないかと思います。

クジラがざっぶーんとジャンプするような姿を拝むことは残念ながらできませんでした。
でも、思った以上にクジラの存在を感じることができて楽しい時間でした

Unfortunately, it rained on the day of our cruise at the beginning of February during the rainy season. We arrived early at the Aloha Tower area, but since there isn't much to do, it might be better not to arrive too early. We were able to watch a hula dance show in front of the ship before check-in time. After that, we boarded the ship. It seems that the deck level changes depending on the course rank! We moved to the fourth floor for the five-course meal! The ship has an elevator.

After giving our names, we were shown to our seats and served a delicious welcome drink of champagne! Once we set sail, we enjoyed a toast from the captain and a hula performance by the dancers! We enjoyed our meal for a while, and although we might have been able to see the sunset outside, we couldn't due to the rain. However, we were able to take our time with the meal and enjoy some jazz music in the second half! The ship was a bit rocky, possibly due to the rain and strong winds, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious! The restrooms were very spacious and clean!

We had a great time on our first dinner cruise, even in the rain!

Aside from the initial briefing area being a bit cramped and crowded, and the fact that only the first floor restroom was available, I was very satisfied.
There were some people who seemed to be seasick, possibly due to the slightly high waves. I chose this option because I felt reassured that I could try again if I didn't see anything, and I think it was a good choice.

Reviewed by: 水戸黄門

I was worried about seasickness, so I chose the largest sightseeing boat on Oahu. The view as we left the harbor and passed through Waikiki towards Diamond Head was simply amazing. As we got closer to Diamond Head, we encountered a family of whales three times. A group of about three, possibly a mother and her calves, surfaced for air, and every time they spouted water, cheers erupted. Onboard, there was a briefing about where to look when whales were spotted, which made the experience enjoyable. It seems this boat is also used for Sunset Dinner Cruises at night, and it had a restaurant onboard. Next time, I definitely want to experience the Sunset Cruise.

船酔いが心配だったのでオアフ島で一番大きいという観光船を選択。港をでてワイキキ沖を通ってダイヤモンドヘッドに向かう景色は、それだけで素晴らしいものです。ダイヤモンドヘッドに近くなったころに、クジラの家族？に三度遭遇。親子なのか三頭くらいの群れが呼吸のために海面に出てきて汐を吹くたびに歓声があがりました。船内では、クジラが見えたときのアナウンスと見る方向などが事前にレクチャーされており、楽しめました。この船は夜はSunset Dinnerクルーズなどに使われているようで、レストランも完備されていました。次回は是非、Sunsetクルーズを体験してみたいと思います。

Whale watching ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: たまちゃん

I participated in a whale watching tour with my middle school son. The pickup was near our hotel, but there were other tours, and when the bus arrived, it turned out to be for a different tour. After that, our tour bus arrived, but the pickup was a bit delayed. The bus was clean, and there was no typical bus smell, making it comfortable.

Once on board, we listened to explanations in a large dining area on the first floor, where those who wanted could pay for meals. All the staff were locals, so the explanations were in solid English. After the briefing, we could go up to the deck.

We waited at a spot where whales were expected to appear. The boat rocked quite a bit while moving and even while waiting. I took motion sickness medication, but those who are prone to seasickness might get nauseous. I got seasick quickly and rested on a chair on the deck.

We saw a few dolphins. I heard that when a whale appears, they announce it by saying "○ o'clock," so I was lying down and seemed to have missed it when it showed up. My son noticed it because someone next to him murmured about the spout, and he saw it when they said "3 o'clock," so he apparently saw it twice. The whales were quite far away, as shown in the photos, while the dolphins were relatively close.

中学生の息子とホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
ピッキングは宿泊ホテルの近くでしたが、他のツアーの方もいて時間に来たバスが来たので聞いてみると違うツアーでした。その後当ツアーのバスが来ましたが、お迎えは少し時間が遅れていました。バス内は清潔でバス特有の匂いもなく快適でした。
乗船し、1階の食事が出来る大部屋で説明を聞きながら希望者は有料で食事が出来ます。スタッフは全員現地の方なので、説明もガチ英語。
説明が終わったらデッキへ上がれます。
出没スポットと思われるところで待機。船は走っているときも待機中も結構揺れます。酔い止めを飲んでいましたが、乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔ってしまうでしょう。私はすぐに酔ってしまい、デッキの横になれるチェアで休んでいました。
イルカが数匹見れました。
「○oclck」とクジラがでたらアナウンスされると聞いたので、横になっていましたが気づかないうちに現れていたようです。
息子は隣の人が呟いたため気づいて見えた潮吹きと、「3o'clock」と言われてみたので計2回見えたようです。クジラは写真の通り遠巻きで、イルカは割と近くで見えます。

The pickup did not come. お迎えが来ませんでした

Reviewed by: 匿名

I was supposed to participate with a pickup from the Lacroix Hotel. Even after 15 minutes had passed, no one arrived, and when I called the contact number that said, "Please contact us if you haven't been picked up after 5 minutes," I received a message saying it was outside of business hours, leaving me at a loss. When I consulted with the front desk at the Lacroix Hotel, they kindly made a call and connected me with a Japanese woman from the tour company. After explaining the situation, I was told, "Your pickup is at Sheraton Waikiki. The pickup time for today has already passed. You can take a taxi at your own expense." I mentioned that I had requested the pickup from the Lacroix Hotel from the beginning, that I had already paid for the service including the pickup, and that it didn't have to be today, and only then was I finally offered a reschedule. It was very disappointing that they spoke as if it was my mistake from the start without trying to find the cause of the misunderstanding, and their response reflected that. Since it was a family trip, I rescheduled for the next day, but honestly, I felt like canceling due to their handling of the situation. If a customer cancels on the day of, they incur a cancellation fee, so I thought it would be reasonable for them to provide compensation for this incident. The next day, the pickup was also more than 15 minutes late, and when I called, I couldn't get through, just like the day before. Fortunately, there was another family scheduled to participate, and they received a call about a 20-minute delay on their mobile phone, and I felt relieved when I saw the bus arrive shortly after. However, I was truly disappointed with these experiences over two consecutive days.

Managing time to avoid being late with young children and planning this trip with excitement for months, it is regrettable to have to go through such anxiety and discomfort. I also emailed Veltra about the lack of pickup, and they promptly and very kindly intervened with the tour company. It was through Veltra's contact that I learned for the first time that the pickup location had mistakenly been set to Sheraton Waikiki. The tour company did not provide any explanation or apology regarding this mistake and spoke as if it was a communication error between Veltra and the tour company. While I understand that mistakes can happen, I believe it is very rude not to offer a sincere explanation or apology. I recommend Veltra, but I do not recommend this tour company.

ラクロワホテルお迎えで参加予定でした。15分過ぎても来ず、「当日5分過ぎたら連絡ください」という連絡先に電話しても営業時間外というアナウンスが流れ、途方に暮れていました。ラクロワホテルのフロントの方に相談すると電話をかけてくださり催行会社の日本人女性の方と繋げてくれました。経緯をお話すると「シェラトンワイキキお迎えになっています。今日のお迎え時間はもう過ぎています。自費になりますがタクシーで来ていただいてもいいです。」と言われました。申込時からラクロワホテルでお願いしていること、送迎込みの金額をすでにお支払いしていること、今日でなくてもよいことを伝えるとようやく振替を提案されました。行き違いの原因を探そうともせず最初からこちらのミスであるような言い方をされ、それを踏まえた対応をされたのは大変遺憾でした。せっかくの家族旅行なので翌日に振り替ましたが正直キャンセルしてもいいと思うくらいの対応でした。お客側が当日キャンセルしたらキャンセル料が発生するのですから、今回はこちらにもそれに見合った弁償があってもいいのではないかと思いました。翌日もお迎えは15分以上遅れ、電話をかけても昨日と同じく繋がりませんでした。幸い参加予定のご家族がもう一組おり、そちらの携帯に20分ほど過ぎたころ遅延している旨電話が来て、すぐにバスが見えたので安心しました。しかし2日連続のこれらの対応には本当にがっかりしました。
幼いこどもを連れて時間に遅れないよう時間管理をし、何ヶ月も前からスケジュールを立てて楽しみに旅行に来ているのに、こんな不安な思いや不快な思いをしなければならないのは残念です。
ベルトラさんにもメールでお迎えが来ない旨ご相談したのですが、催行会社との間に入り、迅速に大変親身にご対応いただきました。ベルトラさんからのご連絡で初めて催行会社側のミスで送迎先がシェラトンワイキキになっていたことを知りました。催行会社の方はその旨の説明も謝罪もなく、ベルトラさんと催行会社の間での伝達ミスのような言い方をされました。ミスをするのは人間なのでしょうがないと思います。しかし誠実な説明や謝罪ないのはこちらに対して大変失礼だと思います。
ベルトラさんはおすすめしますが、こちらの催行会社はおすすめしません。

サンセット・ディナークルーズ 　スターオブホノルル号　ライブショーと選べるビュッフェまたはコースディナー

Wedding anniversary & birthday 結婚記念日&誕生日

Reviewed by: とも

We participated to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday. We were both very satisfied with the beautiful sunset, the large lobster, and the authentic hula dance.

However, there was one point: I had no idea how to eat the lobster at first, so I ended up mimicking what the person next to me was doing. It would have been nice to have an explanation.

妻との結婚1周年記念と誕生日を兼ねて参加しました。
綺麗な夕焼けや大きなロブスター、本場のフラダンスを見られて夫婦共に大満足です。

ただ一点、ロブスターの食べ方が最初全くわからず、隣の人の食べているのを真似して食べたので説明があると嬉しかったです。

サンセットセーリング　マイタイ・カタマラン号　ビールやシャンパン、カクテルなどオープンバーで飲み放題！金曜日限定の花火観賞プランあり＜シェラトン・ワイキキ発＞

During the reservation. 予約の時

Reviewed by: malice

I have seen fireworks from other catamarans several times. At that time, I boarded from the pier and didn't get wet, but this time I had to enter the sea from the sandy beach and climb up the stairs, so I got quite wet and it was cold. The same was true when getting off; everyone ended up covered in sand and it was a hassle. Many people were angry. I think it would have been better if they had informed us that we would have to enter the sea when boarding and disembarking. I would have liked a place to wash my feet and towels when we got off.

何度か他のカタマランで花火を見た事があります。
その時は桟橋からの乗船で濡れる事はは無かったのですが　今回は砂浜から海に入って階段を登るのでかなり濡れてしまい寒かったです。
降りる時も同じで皆、砂だらけになってしまい困っていました。
怒ってる方も沢山いました。
乗船する時、降りる時海に入る事を書いておいてもらえたら良かったと思います。
降りた時足を洗う所とタオルが欲しかったです。

【冬季限定！1/3～3/21】ホエールウォッチ　スターオブホノルル号　1500名乗船可能なハワイ最大のクルーズ船！軽食＆ドリンク付き＜ワイキキ送迎可＞

I saw it 7 or 8 times. 7，8回見えた

Reviewed by: ごんチャン

At first, I saw a small whale, about 5 meters long, showing its dorsal fin and tail fin about three times. After that, I spotted a mother whale, which seemed to be just under 10 meters long, showing its dorsal fin and spouting water about three times. The waves were about 3 meters high, and the boat rocked a bit, but it was very enjoyable.

初め、子クジラとみられる５ｍくらいのが背びれ、尾びれが3回くらい見れた。
そのあと、母クジラとみられる１０ｍ弱のが、背びれと潮吹きが3回くらい見られた。波は３ｍくらいあり、船は多少揺れたが、とても楽しかった。

It's disappointing that I couldn't see it. 見れなく残念

Reviewed by: kyo

Unfortunately, I was disappointed that I couldn't see the whales. I thought they would give us tickets for the following day if we couldn't see them, but I didn't receive any explanation or tickets.

あいにくクジラは見れなくて残念でした。
見れなかったら翌日以降のチケットをくれると思っていたが、何も説明もなく貰えなかった。

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]

Best Morning of our Trip

Reviewed by: JGonzales

Although the day was grey and windy....the day at sea was excellent. Whales were not seen, but everything from the crew and staff members were excellent. The naturalist on board was so informative and wandered the ship answering all our questions. she was so easy to talk to and answered all our questions even the silly ones. Since we did and early morning cruise. we had coffees and snacks...dont forget to get the Mac nut cookies.....they are the best! We will do it again and hopefully have better luck in viewing....

The sunset viewed from the sea is amazing! 海の上から見るサンセットは最高！

Reviewed by: tvcco

From a stable catamaran, you can enjoy the view of Waikiki Beach and feel the sunset... Whether it's your first time in Hawaii or you're a repeat visitor, this is a time I highly recommend.

This is my third time participating. Although there isn't a Japanese guide, the fun is definitely felt. This time, I was with a group of Japanese tourists, so the atmosphere was a bit different, but thanks to the weather and the calm sea, we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sunset.

I haven't participated in other catamaran tours, so I can't make comparisons, but I can recommend this tour for the peace of mind it offers while enjoying a blissful sunset! If you're unsure, definitely give it a try at least once! 😊

安定したカタマラン船で海の上から、ワイキキビーチを眺め、サンセットを感じる・・
ハワイが初めてでも、リピーターでも、ぜひおすすめしたい時間です。

今回は3度目の参加になります。
日本語ガイドはないけれど、その楽しさは十分感じられます。
今回は日本人団体さんと一緒だったので、盛り上がりは少し違いましたが、
天候、おだやかな海のおかげで、きれいなサンセットを堪能できました。
他のカタマランツアーに参加したことがないので、比較はできないですが、
安心してサンセットの至福な時間を楽しめる点でおすすめできるツアーです！
迷ったら、是非、一度は参加してみてください(^^)v
