All Reviews for Casual Cruises

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。

My husband and my two boys and I went on a sunset cruise and had a fantastic time. We got to drink our own drinks so we didn’t have the watered down stuff. They usually serve on these types of cruises. The crew was incredibly friendly. We saw a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows.

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。

I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.

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。

The staff was skilled at getting everyone on board, and we had a great time together. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was refreshing, and I recommend this experience. At first, my wife was worried about seasickness, but she ended up drinking more than usual.

スタッフの乗らせ方が上手く、同船の皆で楽しく過ごせました。海側からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも新鮮で体験をお勧めします。最初は、船酔いを心配していた妻もいつもより沢山飲んでました。

3 mia tias and I made the score. Landed a full blooded Japanese kuddle fish used a worm as bait. Highly recommend.

Amazing time. Great to see see the sunset with. Thanks again

Excellent and fun crew and was a highlight for all 6 of us on vacation. Incredible sunset, City and Diamondhead views. Even saw a few whales! Great value for the price and will definitely do it again.

We had a great time on this catamaran ride. The boat was very nice and the crew was very attentive.

I participated in this tour in early February 2023. One of the things I wanted to do in winter Hawaii was whale watching, and since my hotel was Aulani, I joined this tour departing from Ko Olina Marina.

It takes about 25 minutes to walk from Aulani to Ko Olina Marina, and about 5 minutes by car. The tour included four alcoholic drinks, so I walked there instead of driving, but I was a bit tired on the way back (^_^;).

Upon arriving at the marina, the check-in area was easy to find. I signed in on the list, received a wristband, used the restroom, and boarded the boat. There were about 15 to 20 guests at that time, but we were the only Japanese group. All the explanations were in English, but a young Japanese male staff member came later to explain in Japanese, and he also supported us during snorkeling, which was very helpful!

After the boat headed out to sea, we encountered a mother and baby whale! I was incredibly excited to see the whales spouting water and their tails coming up to the surface with my own eyes! Since it was an evening tour, we didn’t see any dolphins, but I was very satisfied to have encountered the whales.

After that, we went to the snorkeling point and enjoyed snorkeling. During this time, we encountered a sea turtle. I was moved to see it coming up from the bottom of the ocean for air, floating on the surface, and then returning to the ocean floor, all from a very close distance! The water was a bit cold during this season, but I was glad I participated in snorkeling! After snorkeling, it was chilly, so I changed from my swimsuit to regular clothes in the boat's restroom. The restroom was a bit spacious with shelves, making it suitable for changing. There were two restrooms, one on each side at the back.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed dinner and the sunset. The dinner was served on a single plate, but it was piled high, so I was full! The taste was also delicious. The sunset from the boat was absolutely beautiful.

I think this is a highly recommended activity for those staying around Ko Olina!

2023年2月上旬に参加しました。
冬のハワイでやりたい事がホェールウォッチングで、宿泊ホテルがアウラニだったのでコオリナマリーナから出発するこちらのツアーに参加しました。

アウラニからコオリナマリーナまでは歩いて片道25分くらい、車だと片道5分くらいです。ツアーにアルコールが4本かな？含まれていたので車は使わずに歩いて行きましたが帰りはちょっと疲れました(^_^;)

マリーナに到着して受付の場所はわかりやすかったです。名簿に記帳してリストバンドを付けて、御手洗を済ませてボートに乗り込みます。
この時は15名？20名？？くらいお客さんが居ましたが日本人は私たちのグループだけでした。
色々な説明は全て英語でしたが、若い日本人男性のスタッフさんがあとから日本語で説明しに来てくださって、その後のシュノーケルもサポートしてもらえたのでとても助かりました！

ボートが沖に出て少しするとクジラの親子に遭遇出来ました！肉眼でクジラの潮吹きや海面の上に出てきた尾びれを見られてものすごく興奮しました！夕方のツアーなので時間的にイルカは見られませんでしたがクジラに遭遇出来たので大満足でした。

その後シュノーケルポイントに行って、シュノーケルを楽しみました。この時に海亀に遭遇出来ました。海の底から息をにし浮上してくる様子や海面をぷかぷかしている様子、また海の底に帰って行く様子を近づくことが出来るギリギリの距離で見られて感動しました！
この時期の海はちょっと寒かったですが、でもシュノーケル参加して良かったです！
シュノーケルの後は寒かったのでボートのおトイレで水着から私服に着替えました。おトイレは少しだけ広めで棚とかがあったので着替えスペースも兼ねている感じでした。おトイレは後方左右に1つずつ計2つありました。

シュノーケルが終わるとディナーとサンセットを楽しみます。ディナーはワンプレートですがモリモリに盛ってもらえたのでお腹いっぱいになりました！味も美味しかったです。ボートからのサンセットもすごく素敵でした。

コオリナ周辺で宿泊されている方にはとてもおすすめのアクティビティだと思います～。

entire crew was so wonderful. Very attentive , asked everyone where they were fro and really interacted with guests one on one . I mean I just loved it and would do it 20 more times

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.

Ryan and Mark were a great team and the boat was a lot of fun. The dolphins came out for a play and it was a wonderful experience.

We did this on our last night in Waikiki and it did not disappoint! We even saw whales. A must do!

Great sunset tour for the price. Would go again every night if I lived here. Great crew and beautiful sights

Great staff, very friendly.
Worth the price.
Starting point is on the beach and it's around 90 mins .
We were lucky and got to see whales.

Crew was absolutely amazing. Mai tais were great and it was a decent amount of time in the water. Money well spent

Would have liked it to be a little longer. The stafff was a lot of fun!

Fun cruise. Staff was very accommodating and friendly.

Thanks to the very friendly and fun guys on and off board we had such an awesome time. The drinks and the view were also more then great. The catamaran isn't too packed, so everybody can have their own lil space. You guys made our day and we will def see each other next time I will visit your perfect island.

Excellent Experience! Crew was outstanding and the drinks were generous, we had an amazing evening! Highly recommend! We went to celebrate my best friends birthday before having dinner. It was a fun way to enjoy a beautiful sunset in Waikiki..

Overall great experience with a good meal, friendly crew, and add-ons to capture the adventure.

I would do it again. But I'd some time of approved boat shoe or water shoe. Not a fan of barefoot in public areas.

I participated in January 2023.
The view of the land from the sea was incredibly beautiful. The sunset was also wonderful. However, as the day went on, the wind picked up and it got quite cold, so I spread out the beach towel I brought and used it to sit on and cover my shoulders. It might be a good idea to bring a jacket during this time. Although there was an all-you-can-drink option, it was too cold, and I could only have one drink at the start. When the catamaran set sail, everyone started dancing to the upbeat music and stood up to take photos, creating a very cheerful atmosphere. Although Japanese was not spoken, the vibe was very lively.

2023年１月に参加
海から見える陸の景色は最高にきれいでした。サンセットもすばらしかった。しかしだんだんと日が暮れていくにつれて、この日は風も強くて、だいぶ寒くなり持参したバスタオルを敷いて座ったり、肩にかけたりしていた。この時期上着は持って行った方がいいかも。飲み放題だったけど寒くて最初の１杯しか飲めなかった。カタマラン号が出航するとノリノリの音楽に合わせて踊りだしたり、立ちあがって写真を撮ったりとみんなとても陽気に楽しんでいた。日本語は通じませんが、とてもノリの良い雰囲気でした。

It was a perfect Sunset Booze Cruise night!
The staff was wonderful and very entertaining.
The hour and a half flew bye but the time was just right.
We will definitely do this again next time we are here.

This is the 2nd time we’ve done this sunset cruise and it lived up to our first experience, which was amazing! Great captain and crew! So much fun and gorgeous views!

The VIEW of Waikiki and Aloha Sunset, with booze with friends/cousins is SPECTACULAR. The crew were amazing and the crowd is cool.

Staff was great. Scenery was amazing. Highly recommend it.

Great sunset cruise off the coastline of Waikiki.
The team of Noah, Mitchell and Amos were great and friendly.
The kids enjoyed the cruise also.
Definitely worth it and highly recommend.
