This was my first time boarding the "Catamaran" with my wife and our 25-year-old daughter. To put it mildly, it was "the best." Every time I walk along Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, which I have visited many times, I would see the "Mai Tai Catamaran" but would pass by without paying much attention. When a friend who is well-versed in Hawaii asked me, "Have you ever been on the Catamaran?" and I replied, "I know about it, but I haven't," he exclaimed, "What are you doing in Hawaii? You can't start your Hawaii experience without riding the Catamaran! It would be pointless to go to Hawaii!" I thought he was being a bit dramatic, but his enthusiasm piqued my interest, and I attempted to board once, but that year (2019, before the pandemic), it was fully booked every day. I resolved that the next time I went to Hawaii, I would definitely ride the Catamaran, and I made my reservation around the same time I booked my flight tickets.
On the day of my reservation in early August 2022, we went to the check-in area on the beach in front of the Sheraton at the designated time, confirmed our reservation with the voucher, and then walked barefoot along the shoreline to board the "Catamaran," being careful not to bring sand onto the boat. Two capable crew members skillfully prepared for departure, and as the boat smoothly pulled away from the beach and floated into the sea, an extraordinary feeling and excitement washed over me. I understood what my friend meant. The Catamaran proceeded slowly offshore, paying attention to the surfers near the beach, and after a while, it raised its sails and picked up speed. I was moved by the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean, a perspective I had never seen before. The crew announced that drinks were ready, and we toasted as a family on board. The blue sea, blue sky, the scent of Hawaii, the sound of the ocean breeze, upbeat background music, and the sound of the sails fluttering all combined to create an indescribably exquisite moment that my vocabulary cannot capture.
After a while, we were delighted to see dolphins playing alongside the Catamaran. As the sun approached the horizon, I felt a twinge of regret as the boat drew closer to the beach. The cruise ended as we returned to Waikiki Beach around sunset. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I will definitely board the Catamaran. I apologize for the writing style resembling that of an elementary school student.
今回初めて、私、妻、25歳の娘の家族3名で「カタマラン号」に乗船しました。控えめに申し上げても「最高」でした。幾度となく訪れているハワイ、ワイキキビーチを散歩するたび毎回のように見掛けていた「マイタイ・カタマラン号」、あまり気も留めずに船の前を素通りしていました。ハワイ通の友人から「カタマラン号に乗った事ある?」と尋ねられ「知っているけど無い」と答えると、「何しにハワイに行ってるの!カタマラン号に乗らないとハワイは始まらないよ!ハワイに行った意味がないよ!」と友人、まぁまぁ大袈裟な話と思っていましたが、やけに熱く語っていたのが気になり一度乗船を試みるのですが、その年(コロナ禍前の2019年)は連日予約完売で乗船出来ずでした。次回ハワイに行く事ができれば、絶対にカタマラン号に乗る!と決意し、今回は航空券の予約とほぼ同時期に予約をしました。
2022年8月上旬予約当日、集合時刻にシェラトン前のビーチにある受付に行き
バウチャーで予約確認、その後、砂浜に乗り上げた形で留っている「カタマラン号」へ裸足で波打ち際を歩き船に砂を載せないよう注意深く乗船します。2人の頼もしい操船スタッフが手際よく出航させるのですが、船が砂浜から「すーっ」と離れ船が完全に海に「ふわー」と浮いた瞬間から非日常的な感覚とワクワク感が襲ってきます。これがハワイ通の友人が言っていた事なのかと納得。カタマラ号はビーチ付近のサーファー達に気を配りながらゆっくりと沖合へ進み、しばらくすると帆を上げスピードアップ、ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを今まで見ていた逆の目線、海からの景色に感動します。操船スタッフからドリンクが用意できていますとアナウンス、そして船上で家族で乾杯。青色の海、青色の空、ハワイの香り、潮風の音、アップテンポなBGM、帆がなびく音、それぞれが相まって私の語彙力では表現出来ない何とも言えない極上の時間です。
暫くするとイルカ達がカタマラン号と一緒に遊ぶ姿を見せてくれました。
太陽が水平線近づき、次第に船が沖合からビーチが近くになるのが残念に思えます。サンセット、日没と同時ぐらいにワイキキビーチへ戻りカタマラン号のクルーズは終わりとなります。次回またハワイに行く事が出来れば必ずカタマラン号に乗船します。
以上、小学生の作文の様な文章で申し訳ありません。

After three years, I participated in a sunset cruise on a catamaran in Hawaii. It was so much fun. Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea, the sunset, and the sky turning pink afterward was breathtaking. There was a rainbow over Waikiki. We laughed out loud while getting splashed by the waves, and we even started singing together. It was a truly enjoyable time.
Since you might get wet, it's best to wear clothes that can get wet and keep your valuables in a waterproof bag. There was storage available, but there's a chance of getting splashed by the waves.
I definitely plan to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.
3年ぶりのハワイで
カタマランでのサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
とにかく楽しかった。
海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、
サンセットとそのあとにピンクに染まる空。
ワイキキにかかる虹。
波しぶきを浴びて大笑いしたり、大合唱が始まったり、
とても楽しい時間でした。
濡れる可能性があるので参加には濡れていい服で、
貴重品は防水バッグに入れておくといいですね。
収納場所がありましたが波を受ける可能性もあるので。
次回のハワイでも絶対参加しようと思います。

We have been on at least five catamarans that offer Sunset Sails,and Holokai is our favorite. The Captain is super accommodating with an amazing bartender who manages to stay balanced serving drinks! We will be back in October for another awesome sailing adventure!

I had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. The Captain and staff were awesome. Those Maitais were delicious. I loved the cruise and the booze so much that I went on the Fireworks cruise right after. Met some amazing people which I believe will turn into great friendships. If you’re in Hawaii and looking for a nice evening activity check out Manu Kai Catamaran Waikiki activities. You will not be disappointed!

Sailing with both Japanese and foreigners is also a lot of fun.
The view of Diamond Head from the venue is absolutely stunning.
The sunset is beautiful, and it's definitely worth participating in!!

My adult daughter and teenage son and I had an amazing time. From the warm welcoming from the hula dancers and music being played to the staff. I had a reserved table with the view of the water. Beautiful set up. The food was delicious and beautiful presentation. Our waiter was very attentive. Enjoyed the dancers/performance and music. The fireworks show from Waikiki because it was on a Friday night was absolutely beautiful while being on the water. The fireworks were okay wished it was more of them but it was nice just the same. I highly recommend this cruise. We went in July 2022

From check in to the end this was well organized. We loved our waiter, how our table was set for us, delicious drinks. The show while we ate our dinner was amazing they did a wonderful job, the music was also pleasant, and dessert was yummy, the view is breathtaking. We went in July so we did not need sweaters of any kind. We did not know if we'd get motion sickness, so we still took some dramamine an hour before and we did just fine. We also loved our picture a memory that we will forever have with us, worth the price!

I took the Red Line Trolley from Waikiki and got off at the King Kamehameha statue, aiming for Aloha Tower while sightseeing. Many shops in the nearby mall seemed to be closed, possibly due to the impact of COVID-19, and I had trouble finding a restroom. At check-in, I presented the voucher on my phone, and after the usual photo session, we boarded the ship. For us, who didn't need a dinner that was too much to eat, one drink was sufficient. (You can order drinks on board. There was a Japanese staff member, so I think it's fine even if you can't speak English.) It seemed that many of the other passengers were tourists from the mainland United States. There was a restroom on the ship, but it wasn't very clean. We moved from Pier 6 near Aloha Tower out towards Waikiki, making a U-turn just before Diamond Head to return. During sunset, the lights of Waikiki and the sunset were very beautiful. Since it was windy, a light jacket is necessary. A little before disembarking, a staff member will ask if you'd like to buy the photos taken before boarding, either as data or printed. We purchased a cheap printed photo. (I think it was around $25 in cash.) After disembarking, we returned to Waikiki by The Bus.
ワイキキからレッドライントロリーで、カメハメハ大王前で下車し、観光しながらアロハタワーを目指しました。付近のモールは、コロナ禍の影響かクローズしているお店が多く、トイレも使えず、困りました。チェックインでは、携帯のバウチャー画面を提示して、お決まりの写真撮影から始まり、乗船しました。食べきれない程のディナーは不要な私たちには、ワンドリンクで十分でした。(船上でドリンクオーダーはできます。従業員の中に日本人の方がいたので、英語できなくても大丈夫だと思います。)他の乗客は、アメリカ本土からの観光客が多かったような印象です。船の中にトイレはありましたが、あまりキレイではありませんでした。アロハタワー近くのピア6からワイキキの沖の方に移動してダイアモンドヘッド沖の手前でUターンして戻りました。夕暮れ時で、ワイキキの明かりや夕焼けがとてもキレイでした。風が強いので、羽織る上着は必要です。下船少し前に、乗船前の写真をデータかプリントされた物を買わないか?従業員が聞きに回ります。私たちは、安いプリントされた写真を購入しました。(現金で、25$くらいだったと思います。)下船後は、The busでワイキキに戻りました。

I took my parents, brother, aunt and cousin. We all loved the special treatment with the package. The food was above expectations. The views were nice. Loved the fireworks on the Friday night cruise. The music and entertainment was amazing. The young lady who served us was a new trainee and did a wonderful job. The only thing that was a little off putting was the manager’s conversation was a little repetitive throughout the dinner.

This was such a great wedding event experience for us and our guests! We pre-purchased tickets for up to 45 people from our wedding party to join us on an afternoon booze cruise. From the views, the staff, the good vibes, this experience was so well worth it. This cruise included 3 beers, mai tais or waters as desired, which was more than enough. The DJ played great hits and gave us chances to play our own music too. Given how large our party size was, I really appreciated the attention the staff gave to everyone. They often checked in on folks, making sure they had drinks (if they wanted them), and that folks felt comfortable. We went on a windy day so we hit a couple of bumps on our way back. I appreciated how the staff gave special attention to anyone who may not have been feeling well as a result, ensuring they had water and a comfortable seat. My party had a really great time with the crew and it was a memorable wedding weekend event that none of us will forget! Thank you to the crew for the wonderful group experience you provided for us all!
