Most of the guests were from Europe and America, with a few Japanese and Korean people. The guide spoke only in English, mixing in jokes, which made for a lively conversation. I didn't understand everything, but it was fun!
As for the whales, we saw them a few times, but they were quite far away and only surfaced for a few seconds, so we couldn't take any photos. However, the excitement in the air was palpable. If I could wish for something, it would be that other boats were able to see them up close while we were always a bit far away.
The most moving moment was during sunset. The shots with the beautiful yacht were the highlight of this trip.
ほとんどの客は欧米の方々で一部日本人、韓国人。ガイドは英語のみでジョークをまじえ軽快なトークを楽しめました。意味はすべてはわかりませんが笑
肝心のクジラは何回か見えましたが結構遠くで浮上は数秒なのでカメラ撮影はできませんでしたが歓声が沸き場は盛り上がりました。欲を言えば他船は近くで見れていたのにこっちは毎回遠かったことです。
1番の感動はサンセット時。綺麗なヨットとのショットは今回の旅で最高でした。
私はなんでもなかったのですが妻は途中から船酔いになりました。薬を飲んでも効かなかった様子なので弱い方は遠慮した方がいいかもしれません。

We were so disappointed with our Sunset Dinner Cruise this week.
Why oh why, when a company has it just right, do they get greedy and take away the finesse?
Having taken the steak & lobster package last year, we were so looking forward to repeating the experience - but it failed to live up to expectations.
The singer couldn't sing; we had to queue for our starter (only lettuce plated at the table; the lobster was not prepared, we were provided with lobster crackers and a pick (not what we were expecting, dressed in our best clothes); there was no finger bowl or wet wipe; our steaks were cold and the server came so infrequently we did not get to use two of our drinks vouchers.
Shame on you.
Retire the piano player (or ask him NOT to sing)
Bring back the 'prepared' lobster

I was able to see whales a few times, and I also got to see dolphins up close along the way, making it a satisfying tour. The only downside was that the whales were far away, so I couldn't really grasp their size. The crew also kept things lively during the tour, which was fun. It was great to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea as well.
クジラを数回見ることができ、また、途中でイルカをまじかに見ることもでき、満足いくツアーでした。残念なことは、クジラが遠く、大きさを実感できなかったことです。クルーの皆さんも、ツアーの間いろいろ盛り上げてくれて、楽しかったです。ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを海から見れたこともよかったです。

It was disappointing that we couldn't see any whales. We did see a few dolphins. It seems that once a whale dives, it doesn't surface for several hours, so we couldn't see any during the two-hour tour.
鯨は見れず残念でした。
イルカが少し見れました。鯨は一度潜ると数時間浮上しないらしく2時間のツアー中は見れませんね

We used this for our honeymoon trip as a couple. We opted for a plan that included round-trip transportation to the hotel for an additional fee. While it was a bit pricey, the service and experience exceeded our expectations.
The server assigned to us was cheerful and very attentive. We also purchased additional photos, which became great memories.
If you're looking to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Hawaii, this might not be the right fit for you. However, I think watching the sunset while listening to jazz in a calm setting is a unique experience that’s hard to come by.
There were about 10% Japanese guests, and while the menu had some items in Japanese, all orders and communication were in English. The introductions of the musicians and the engaging talks were also all in English, so having some understanding of the language would make it more enjoyable.
夫婦の新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
追加料金でホテルまで往復送迎していただくプランに。
やはり金額的にはいいお値段でしたが、期待以上の対応と内容でした。
担当のサーバーの方は陽気ですごく気が利く方でした。

ハワイの陽気な雰囲気を楽しみたい方は合わないと思いますが、落ち着いた雰囲気でジャズを聞きながらサンセットを見るのはなかなか出来ない経験だと思います。
日本人は約1割いるかどうか、メニューは日本語も記載ありましたが注文やコミュニケーションは全て英語。
ミュージシャンの紹介や、盛り上げるトークも全て英語なので多少理解出来ると面白いと思います。
If you dislike a lively atmosphere, definitely consider a 5-star option. The basic alcohol is quite strong.
It's essential to bring something light to wear.

Captain Nick and crew showed us a great time on our fourth consecutive annual November sunset cruise. Each one is a little different vibe. Sunday appears to be the best day for a more peaceful vibe. Great interaction with Captain and crew. The food is OK (catered boxes) but we started scheduling a post-cruise restaurant dinner last year at nearby Fresco and enjoyed that again this year. We plan to take this cruise every year!
