Oahu
The crew speaks in fast English, and I don't understand at all. I was completely ignored. I couldn't enjoy it at all. I learned the location of the restroom by watching other people go, and I didn't understand the safety instructions, yet I was made to sign a waiver before boarding. In Japan, they would at least be a little accommodating to tourists. Here, there is none.
クルーは早口の英語で話しますが、全くわかりません。完全無視されます。
まったく楽しめませんでした。
トイレの場所は、他の人が行くのを見てしりましたし、安全の説明はわからないままなのに、乗船前には、免責のサインかかされました。
日本なら観光客に少しくらい寄り添ってくれます。

Everything was in English, which was difficult for me, but a Japanese person who was with us was fluent in English and helped me a lot. It was a bit disappointing that there were some clouds, but it was a very Hawaiian tour.
全て英語で、私には難しかったですが、一緒に居てくださった日本人の方が、英語達者な方で色々教えて頂き助かりました。やや雲があったのは残念でしたが、とてもハワイらしいツアーでした。
The cruise was perfect. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening. Highly recommend.
Mahalo for joining us!
The sailing was just over an hour from Waikiki Beach, and we were blessed with great weather and the best location! We were lucky to see tuna, dolphins doing flips, and a mother and baby dolphin jumping as well. The Mai Tai service was good. We were the only Japanese guests, but everyone was friendly, and we had a wonderful time!
ワイキキビーチから1時間ちょっとのセーリング⛵天気にも恵まれ最高のロケーションでした!マグロにイルカの回転ジャンプやイルカ親子のジャンプも見る事が出来てラッキーでしたマイタイのサービスもgood️日本人客は私達だけでしたが、皆さんフレンドリーでとても楽しめました✨
We loved our sunset sail. The staff was knowledgeable and fun. They took the time to answer any questions. They always had our safety in mind. I would highly recommend this tour.
Mahalo for trusting us to host your tour!
The captain's notes were excellent. I laughed a lot. The conversations with the other passengers were friendly and enjoyable, and I felt relaxed. I will definitely ride again on my next visit to Hawaii.
船長の注意事項が最高です。笑いまくりです。同乗の他のお客さんとの会話もフレンドリーで楽しく、くつろげました。次回のハワイ訪問でも、また乗ります。
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.
Mahalo,

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 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.
Aloha Don Juan! Thank you for the fantastic review. We're glad to hear you have enjoyed yourself and our drinks. Hope to see you again onboard with us! Mahalo, The Holokai Catamaran Team.
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.
Booked a sunset cruise for Valentines Day 2023 with my sweetie. We had a blast! Saw whales and dolphins and had lots of laughs with the friendly and engaging crew. The drinks were great and the appetizer platter they present to each person was delicious! Shrimp, fresh fruit, hummus and crackers, cheese...yum! Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and they gave us roses and champagne as a special VDay treat. Thanks everyone!
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
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.
Aloha Megan! Thank you for taking the time to write us a lovely review and for sharing that wonderful picture. We're so glad you got to see them perform and hope to have you onboard with us again. Mahalo, The Holokai Catamaran Team.
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.
The Sunset Cocktail Cruise was so much fun. The drinks and appetizers were amazing.
The entire Crew was very friendly and accommodating with serving drinks, appetizers and offering to snap photos.
We look forward to Cruising again next January
Mahalo
