I had only experienced dinner cruises in Hawaii, but this time I participated with high expectations for a high-speed yacht. The friendly staff and their humorous interactions were enjoyable, but unfortunately, the waves got to me and I ended up feeling seasick and sleeping on the way back. Still, the ride there was very refreshing. It included drinks and donuts, and at just $7, it was a great deal. I would like to try it again when I go back to Hawaii.
ハワイでのクルーズはディナークルーズしか経験がなかったんですけど、今回高速ヨットということで期待して参加しました。フレンドリーなスタッフのユーモアたっぷりな対応も楽しかったんだけど、なにしろ、、、波があってとうとう酔ってしまい帰路は寝てしまいました。それでも、行きはとっても爽快でした。飲み物やドーナツもついてて、これで7ドルなんてお得な体験でした。またハワイに行ったときには、挑戦してみたいです。

On July 24th, my daughter (6th grade) and I participated in a sunset cruise. Out of about 20 participants, we were the only Japanese. The meal included three types of food and cookies. While there was still food left by the end, the cookies disappeared quickly. These cookies are delicious. The explanations during boarding were, of course, in English, but later the captain provided individual explanations. Just being on the boat was enjoyable. The view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the sunset from the ocean was wonderful. My daughter was able to take a commemorative photo at the driver's seat, and although she was initially nervous about the language barrier, as time went on, she seemed to be captivated by the charm of the boat. As we approached the end, she kept saying, "It's almost over..." I was happy to be able to talk with others on board using my limited English vocabulary. Since we participated in a campaign, I gave a small tip when we disembarked. On the way back, we took the bus to Waikiki from the bus stop right in front of us. Fortunately, the bus arrived quickly. I think it would be satisfying even at the regular price. I want to ride the Makani again!! The captain was wonderful too.
7/24に娘(小6)と二人でサンセットクルーズに参加しました。20名ほどの参加者のうち日本人は私たち二人だけ。食事は三種類とクッキー。最後まで食事類は残っていましたが、クッキーはすぐになくなってしまいました。このクッキーおいしいですよ。乗船時の説明ももちろん英語ですが、あとでキャプテンが個別に説明してくれました。ただ乗っているだけで楽しい。沖からみるワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サンセット、とても素敵です。娘は運転席?で記念撮影もさせてもらい、最初は言葉が通じないことにナーバスになっていた娘も時間がたつにつれ、この船の魅力にとりつかれたようです。終わりが近づくころには「もう終わっちゃうの・・・・」を連発してました。私の単語連発の英語で乗船していた方とも話ができて、うれしくなっちゃいました。キャンペーンで参加したため、少しですが下船時にチップを渡しました。帰りは目の前のバス停からワイキキへ。タイミングよくすぐにバスもきました。通常価格でも満足できると思います。またマカニ号に乗りたい!!キャプテンも素敵です。

I participated with two elementary school children. The kids were super excited from the moment we boarded, and since we had window seats, they quickly made friends with the dancers who came out one after another and took pictures with them. They saw a big lobster for the first time and called it a big crayfish, which made everyone around burst into laughter. It was a fun tour!
小学生のこども、二人連れての参加でした。
子供たちは、乗船からのハイテンション、窓際の席であったせいもあり次々と出てくるダンサーと仲良くなり写真を撮ったりしました。
はじめて見る大きなロブスターを大きなザリガニだ!と言って周りを爆笑させていました。楽しいツアーでしたよ。

Since there was no shuttle service, I took the bus to the meeting point, but the park is quite large, so I got a little lost. I think it would have been helpful to have information about the nearest bus stop.
However, I believe there’s no other cruise like this for just $7.77. There were several types of fruits, drinks, and bread available for us to enjoy freely, and we had a cruise of about two hours, which made me very satisfied!
Personally, I got a bit seasick, so I couldn't enjoy the food and drinks as much as I wanted, but my friend fully enjoyed it. I usually don’t get seasick, but the wind was quite strong, and even on a sunny day, the boat rocked a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication unless you’re very confident.
Since it was a local guide, Japanese wasn’t very well understood, but I appreciated that the staff were considerate of my seasickness. I’m a little worried that such low prices might affect the livelihoods of the kind local staff.
It’s so cheap, Alan! But thanks to you, I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much.
送迎なしなので集合場所へはバスで行きましたが、公園が広いのでちょっと迷いました。最寄バス停なども教えていただけたらよかったと思いました。
しかし、7.77ドルで、これだけのクルーズができるのはほかにないと思います。
フルーツ・ドリンク・パンが何種類か備えられており、自由に飲食でき、かつ2時間程度のクルーズができまして、大満足です!
個人的には船酔いをしてしまったので、思う存分飲食できませんでしたが、友人はしっかり満喫しておりました。私は船酔いはあまり普段しないのでそのまま行ってしまいましたが、結構風が強くて、晴天でも揺れたので、よほど自信のある方以外は酔い止めの内服をおすすめします。
現地の方の案内なので、日本語はあまり通じませんが、船酔い気味の私をスタッフの方が気遣ってくださって有難かったです。
あまりに安いので、このように親切な現地スタッフの方々の生活に支障をきたしはしないかと少し心配です。
安いよ、アランちゃん!でもおかげさまでとっても楽しませていただきました。
ありがとうございました。

I was looking forward to participating in the morning on my return day, but unfortunately, the pickup time was moved up, and I couldn't board. I requested to cancel the regular reservation over the phone out of a total of two reservations made through a campaign and two regular ones.
I had some concerns since the communication was only in English, but the staff responded to my broken English without any sarcasm, and I was able to cancel successfully. I definitely want to try boarding next time I stay on Oahu.
帰国日午前中に参加を楽しみにしていましたが、ピックアップの時間が早まり残念ながら乗船する事ができませんでした。キャンペーンで2名、正規で2名の予約のうち、正規分を電話でキャンセル依頼。
英語のみの対応という事で多少の不安はありましたが、スタッフの方は、わたしのつたない英語にも嫌味なく応対して下さり無事キャンセルできました。
次回オアフ島滞在の際にはぜひ乗船してみたいと思います。

I joined this tour at the invitation of a friend, and before going, I was worried about getting seasick. However, once I started cruising and became one with the wind, those worries were completely unnecessary. First of all, the boat was new and clean, with proper restrooms, and the snacks like Danish pastries and fruits were delicious. Drinks, except for alcohol, were free. We set sail from Kealohilani Bay, heading straight out to sea. The engine was used during departure, but once we were offshore, we raised the sails and caught the wind. It was quite thrilling to ride over the waves. There was a netted area at the bow of the boat, and sitting there, I could see the waves just below me, feeling almost like I was a flying fish (though I did get splashed quite a bit...). The staff on the boat were friendly, and the captain spoke Japanese. It felt like I was invited to a friend's yacht. I was truly healed by the sense of unity with the wind that you can't experience on a large boat.
友人の誘いでこのツアーに行くことになり、行く前は船酔いしないかなーと心配でした。しかーし、風と一体になってクルージングしていたらそんな心配ぜんぜん必要なしでした。まず、船が新しくきれいで、トイレもちゃんとしたトイレが完備され、おやつのデニッシュ、フルーツもおいしく、飲み物もアルコール以外はフリーです。ケワロ湾を出航し、沖に向かってまっしぐら。出航時にはエンジンを使用しますが、沖にでたら帆をはって風をいっぱいに受けて走ります。波を乗り越えかなりの迫力です。船のへさきにネット状になったところがあり、そこに座ると波がすぐ下に見えて まるで自分がトビウオになったよう。(波しぶきをかなりかぶりますが・・・・)船のスタッフもフレンドリーで船長さんは日本語も話せます。まるで知り合いのヨットに招待されているような そんな気分でした。大きな船では味わえない風との一体感に本当に癒されました。

This was my fourth time on the Star of Honolulu, and I always have a great time. This time, my parents, who were on their first overseas trip, joined me, so I booked this optional tour without hesitation. I have also been on the Five Star in the past, but when participating with family or friends, I definitely recommend the Three Star. Guests can dance together and enjoy a uniquely Hawaiian experience.
This was my first time booking through Alan1.net, and I appreciate how smooth and straightforward the process was from reservation to the day of the tour. Above all, it was cheaper than booking through any other company, so I was very satisfied.
今回で4回目のスターオブホノルルでしたが、何度行っても楽しい時間を過ごせます。
今回は初海外旅行の両親が一緒だったので迷わず1番最初に予約したオプショナルツアーでした。
過去に5スターにも乗船しましたが、家族や友達などで参加する場合は断然3スターがお勧めです。ゲストも一緒にダンスしたりハワイならではの楽しい時間が過ごせます。
Alan1.net での申し込みは初めてでしたが予約から当日までスムーズで判りやすい手続きでしたので感謝しております。何よりどこの会社から申し込むより安かったので大満足です。

There were no Japanese staff members, but I felt reassured as they explained everything properly in Japanese.
The breakfast and light snacks were plentiful, with a great variety of bread and plenty of fruits, which made me very satisfied!
We went quite far out, and the ride there was pretty bumpy (depending on the wind strength)....
On the way back, we could enjoy a leisurely cruise. However, depending on where you stand, you might get splashed by the waves.
I was told we might see dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't see any this time.
The boarding point is just a short walk from the bus stop, making it easy to enjoy the cruise.
スタッフに日本人はいませんでしたが、きちんと日本語で注意等説明してもらえて安心でした。
朝食兼軽食は総菜パンなど盛りだくさん、フルーツも充実していて大満足♪
かなり沖まで出ますが、行きは結構揺れます(風の強さにもよりますが)・・・・
帰りはゆっくりクルージングを楽しめます。ただ、立ち位置によっては結構波で濡れるかもしれません。
イルカが見えるかも・・・って言われましたが今回は見れませんでした。
乗り場までバス停からすぐですし、気軽にクルージングが楽しめました。

The captain and the crew didn't speak any Japanese, so I boarded the ship feeling a bit anxious. However, the captain could speak broken Japanese and was kind and fun, which put me at ease. He let me take the helm and even took a commemorative photo with me. It became a great memory, and I was really happy about it.
The cruise itself was truly wonderful. At first, we enjoyed a thrilling ride with splashing waves, which I recommend for those looking for excitement. If you don't like scary experiences, you can stay inside the ship's cabin without any worries. As the sun began to set, we all admired the beautiful sunset together. During our trip, the participants were only couples, so the atmosphere on the ship was fantastic (laughs).
I think group participation can also be fun, but I especially recommend it for couples. Lastly, if I could suggest something, I felt that the selection at the appetizer bar was a bit limited, so I would be happy if they could add a few more items.
船長さんやクルーズの人達は、日本語を全く話さなかったので、大丈夫かなぁと不安を抱えながら乗船しました。
でも、船長さんは、カタコトで日本が話せるし、優しく楽しい方で安心しました。
舵を握らせてくれ、記念写真も撮ってくれました。
良い記念になりました。
凄く嬉しかったです。
クルーズ自体も、本当に良かったです。
最初は、波しぶきがあがるような激しいクルージングを楽しませてくれ、スリル感を味わいたい人達にもお勧めです。
怖いのが嫌な方は、船のキャビンの中にいれば大丈夫です。
日が暮れてくると、美しいサンセットを皆で眺めました。
私達の時は、参加者がカップルだけだったので、船自体が雰囲気抜群状態でした(笑)。
私は、グループの参加とかも楽しいと思いますが、カップルの人達には、特にお勧めです。
最後に、希望を挙げるとしたら、オードブルバーの品目がちょっと少なかった気がするので、もう少し増やして貰えると嬉しいです。

It was surprisingly fast, almost unbelievable that it was moving solely by the power of the wind after turning off the engine. I thought the captain might not understand Japanese, but he spoke it quite well, which made it unexpectedly enjoyable. I spent so much time outside looking at the sea that I hardly had time to eat any snacks, so it might be a good idea to order drinks as soon as you get on board...
エンジンを切ってから風の力だけで動いているとは思えないぐらいスピード感があった。
日本語が通じないのかと思ったけど船長さんは日本語ぺら?ぐらいだったので意外に楽しかった。
軽食なんて食べる暇がないぐらい外で海を見ていることが多かったので、飲み物は乗ったらすぐに注文したほうがいいかも・・・

It was my first time sailing on a yacht. Although the explanations were in English and I didn't understand them at first, I was grateful for the explanations given in Japanese later on. When the sails were raised, the speed increased significantly, and standing at the bow of the boat, I could feel the up-and-down motion and the speed, making it feel like I was one with the boat, which was enjoyable. The crew member who had spent a year in Shinjuku, Japan, was also fun, and I was able to take pictures with the captain, creating great memories.
初めてのヨットセーリングでした。英語の説明が有りわからないままでしたが、後で日本語で説明して頂き助かりました。

I participated in the campaign today and just returned to my room. I arrived a bit late to the ticket booth due to traffic, and when I showed my voucher and apologized for being late, they told me there was still an hour left. I was surprised and listened to their explanation, which was that on Friday nights, the departure is delayed by an hour to watch the fireworks at Hilton. I checked my voucher thoroughly, but there was no mention of that anywhere. So, I killed an hour at the nearby Ward (this is why I deducted one star).
Once on board, there were no particular issues. The only other Japanese guests were my family and another family who had booked through ALAN and arrived an hour earlier. The staff were all friendly and pleasant. It seemed that there were no Japanese speakers at the ticket booth or on the ship today. The food was light snacks but tasted good (wrap sandwiches in soft tortillas, fried spring rolls, salad with pasta, and cookies). Drinks are free for up to two cups in exchange for tickets received during check-in. If you want more, you can order them for a fee.
Unfortunately, there were many clouds today, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset, but the Hilton fireworks were clearly visible. The ship stopped at a good position until the fireworks ended, and then headed towards the shore, so we disembarked around 8:30 PM.
As for the rocking of the boat, I felt it was more than I expected. However, when I asked the staff about the conditions today, they said there was less rocking. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. My family and I took some beforehand, so we didn't get seasick. I found this experience more enjoyable than a dinner cruise on a large ship.
本日キャンペーンを利用して参加、先ほど部屋に戻ってきました。
チケットブースへの到着が渋滞で少し遅れてしまい、バウチャーを見せて遅くなってすいませんと謝るとまだ1時間あるとのこと。
え?と思い話を聞くと、金曜の夜はヒルトンの花火を見るために出港が1時間遅いとのこと。バウチャーの隅から隅まで目を通しましたがどこにもそれについては書いてません。仕方がないので向かいのワードで1時間時間をつぶしました。(これが☆を一つマイナスした理由です)
乗船後は特に問題はありませんでした。お客さんはうちともう一家族(ALANで申し込んだ方でした。この方も一時間前に到着。)だけが日本人でした。
スタッフはみなさんフレンドリーで感じのよい方ばかりでした。日本語の出来る方はチケットブース、船内どちらも今日はいなかったようです。食事は軽食ですが味はよかったです。(やわらかい皮のトルティーヤに包まれたラップサンド、揚げた春巻き、パスタの入ったサラダ、クッキー)飲み物はチェックインの手続きの時にもらうチケットと引き換えに2杯まで無料です。それ以上欲しかったら有料で注文できます。
本日は残念ながら雲が多くてきれいなサンセットは見られなかったのですが、ヒルトンの花火はよく見えました。花火が終わるまで調度良い位置で停船していてその後岸にむかったので船から降りたのが8時半頃になりました。
あと心配していた揺れですが、私の感想は思ったより揺れたでした。が、スタッフの人に今日の状況を聞いたところ揺れが少ないとのこと。酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがいいかもしれません。我が家は私も子供二人も事前に飲んでおきましたので酔うことはありませんでした。
大型船の食事つきディナークルーズよりはこっちの方が楽しいと思いました。

I participated in the highly-rated Three Star based on reviews. (Mid-July 2006)
(Good Points)
- The food is delicious.
The food was, as per the reviews, the best I had during this trip to Hawaii. The filet steak was very tender and incredibly tasty. (However, this is just in the context of Hawaii. It was definitely better than the filet steak at Volkswagen. Haha.) The whole lobster was quite tasty as well. The salad was delicious too!
- The staff is well-trained.
Most of the staff were well-trained, and a foreign manager who spoke Japanese frequently checked on each table, asking, "Is there anything you need help with?" (Some staff who didn't speak much Japanese were a bit curt.) The manager was truly well-trained.
- It was lively.
The final event involved everyone participating in activities like YMCA. It was quite lively.
- The view is wonderful♪
You can see Waikiki Beach from the ocean. It's quite nice♪
(Points for Improvement)
- You might be seated with other groups.
The round tables can seat seven people, but if you don't make arrangements in advance, there's a high chance that a group of two will be seated with others. Also, the spacing between tables (only for the round tables) is narrow, which was unpopular, and some people asked to change seats.
- The vegetables are extremely hard (almost raw!)
The vegetables served with the steak are very hard! They feel almost raw. It might be normal for locals, but unless you like raw vegetables, it seems tough to eat. It might be better to consider them as mere decoration. If targeting Japanese customers, I think they should be cooked until softer.
- The attitude of the driver (a Japanese person) of the return shuttle bus was really bad!
At the gathering, since not everyone had arrived yet, I said I wanted to go to the restroom because I couldn't hold it anymore, but I was met with a very curt and cold refusal. After that, there were about five minutes until everyone gathered, so I could have gone! I felt it was a critical situation, and to be outright refused in such a cold manner raised serious doubts about their humanity. This kind of response is hard to imagine in Japan.
口コミ情報で評判だったスリースターに参加しました。
(2006年7月中旬)
(良かった点)
・料理がおいしい
料理は事前の口コミ情報通り、今回のハワイ旅行で食べた食事の中では一番おいしかったです。フィレステーキはとてもやわらかくてとてもおいしかったです。(但し、あくまでもハワイ内でのレベルです。フォルクスのヒレステーキよりは間違いなくおいしかったです。笑)
丸ごと一匹ロブスターは普通においしかったです。サラダもおいしかった!
・従業員が教育されている
基本的に多くの従業員はよく教育されており、日本語を話せる外国人の責任者が各テーブルを頻繁に周り「何か困ったことはありませんか?」と気遣いをしていました。
(日本語をあまり話せない一部スタッフは素っ気無い態度でしたが)
責任者は本当によく教育されています。
・盛り上がる
最後のほうのイベントは全員参加でYMCA等。結構盛り上がりました。
・景色が素敵♪
ワイキキビーチを沖から見れます。
なかなかよいですよ♪
(改善したら良いな、と思った点)
・他のグループと相席になる場合がある。
円卓のテーブルは7人座れるのですが、事前にある手配をしておかなければ、2人グループは相席になる可能性が高そうです。
また、テーブルとテーブルの間隔が狭い(円卓のみ)ので、それが不評で、席を替わってもらう人もいました。
・野菜がひどく固い(ほとんど生!)
ステーキに添えられている野菜類が非常に固い!ほとんど生といった感じです。
向こうの人はあれが当たり前なのかもしれませんが、生野菜好きでない限り、食べるのは厳しそうです。基本的には飾りと考えた方が良いかもしれません。
日本人を対象としているならば、もっとやわらかくなるまで煮た方が良いと思いました。
・帰りの送迎バスの運転手(日系人)の態度がすごく悪い!
集合時、まだ全員が集まっていなかったので、我慢できないのでトイレにいきたい、と言ったのですが、本当にそっけない態度で冷たく拒否されました。その後、集まるまで5分位あったので、トイレに行けたのに!って思いました。生理現象、しかも危機的状況だったのに、それを素っ気無い冷たい態度であからさまに拒否されたのは、正直、人として大きな疑問を感じます。日本ではあまり考えられない対応でした。き

Last week, my family participated in the Three Star and Tantalus night view tour (couple plan). We added the couple plan a few days before our trip, and they had prepared window-side seats, which had the best location!! The food was okay... The wind was strong, and the boat rocked quite a bit. Actually, no one got seasick, but it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case. There were nine of us, and we received five photos, which made for a nice keepsake (^^). It was the night of our wedding day, and our parents really enjoyed themselves. We danced together and took pictures with the staff... By the way, there were quite a few honeymooners, and we were made to dance the cha-cha?! The weather was nice, and both the sunset and the view of Waikiki were great. I was quite impressed with the night view from Tantalus. I was satisfied, but if I had to mention something... it was a pick-up plan, but when we departed from the hotel, we had to ask to find out about the pick-up from Star of Honolulu.
先週、スリースターとタンタラスの夜景ツアー(カップルプラン)に家族で参加しました。渡ハ数日前にカップルプランを追加したのですが、窓際のせきを用意してあり、ロケーションは最高でした!!料理はまあまあ。。風が強くて、船は結構揺れました。実際、よった人はいなかったのですが、酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいかもしれません。9名で参加だったのですが、写真が5枚ついてきたので、いい記念になりました(^^)結婚式をした日の夜だったのですが、両親たちがそれはそれは楽しんでくれました。ダンスをみんなで踊ったり、スタッフと写真を撮ったり・・ちなみに、ハネムーナーは結構多く、私たちはチークダンスを踊らされ?!ました。天気もよくて、サンセットもワイキキの風景もよかったです。
タンタラスの夜景も、結構感動しました。
満足ですが、あえていうなら・・送迎付きプランだったのですが、ホテルから出発の際、スターオブホノルルのお迎えが、こちらから聞かないとわからなかったところです。

I participated in this campaign. I was worried about transportation since I chose a plan without pick-up service, but I was able to walk from Honolulu to the location, and on the way back, even though I was concerned because the trolley ended early on Sunday, I walked to the Ala Moana Hotel and took a taxi from there, so it was totally fine.
As for the tour itself, my husband and I, who are not great with boats, were a bit nervous about the rough waves until we got out to sea, but once we were out and the boat stopped fighting the waves, we had a great time and ended up having fun on the deck. We could see the hotel district of Honolulu and Diamond Head all at once, and the blue ocean even had flying fish appearing occasionally—it was just wonderful! It was so enjoyable, and the light snacks were also very delicious. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii. If you're hesitating, I highly recommend joining!
今回キャンペーンで参加させていただきました。送迎なしのプランで行き帰りの交通手段が心配だったのですが、行きはホノルルから歩いて現地まで行けましたし、帰りも日曜日でトロリーが早めに終わってしまって心配でしたがアラモアナホテルまで歩いてそこからタクシーに乗れたので全然OKでした。
肝心なツアーの内容ですが、船に弱い私たち夫婦は沖に出るまでの荒波に少々ビビリましたが、沖に出て船が波に逆らわなくなると楽しくて甲板に出てはしゃいでしまいました。とにかくホノルルのホテル街・ダイヤモンドヘッド等一望でき、青い海に時々飛び魚まで現れてくれてすばらしい!!の一言でした。こんなに楽しい上、軽食もとてもおいしくいただきました。またハワイに行ったら是非参加したいです。迷っている方は是非参加してみてください。

This was our first time in Hawaii and our first experience on a yacht. We were able to feel the pleasant breeze and enjoy the scenery, which is different from a large ship! First, we received an explanation of the boat in English at the central seating area, and then we moved to our preferred spots. Although we didn't understand much of the explanation, later the captain asked us in Japanese, "Did you understand?" and kindly explained again in Japanese. The bartender was a beautiful woman who didn't speak Japanese, but she casually took our drink orders. Additionally, the co-captain spoke Japanese because his ex-wife is Japanese, so it was okay if we weren't confident in our English! All the crew members were kind, and we felt safe participating. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
私たちは初ハワイで、ヨットも初体験です。大型船とは違う心地よい風に景色!を感じることが出来ました。一番最初に中央の席のある所で船の説明を受け(英語)それからそれぞれ好きな場所へ移動します。私たちは説明があまり分からなかったのですが、後から、キャプテンが日本語で”分かった?”って聞いてくれ、再度日本語で説明してくださいました。バーテンダーは美しい女性の方で日本語は出来なかったけど、気軽に飲み物の注文を受けて下さいました。また副キャプテンも、元奥様が日本人なので日本語が出来、英語に自信がなくても大丈夫ですよ!クルーの方皆さん、親切で安心して参加出来ました。とっても素晴らしい体験が出来有難うございました。

I participated in a special project! The check-in location was the Kewalo Basin ticket booth in front of the Ward Shopping Center. Since it was our first time in Hawaii, we were a bit confused at first and wandered around a little, but we found the ticket booth at the back of Waikiki with a blue and yellow roof (it stands out quite a bit; the others are white)! It was our first experience on a yacht, and with the pleasant breeze and wonderful scenery, we naturally said, "This feels great!" It swayed a bit, but fortunately, we were fine without taking any medication! The yacht was new and clean, and the captain and co-captain spoke Japanese and were very kind. So, even if you don't speak English, you can participate with peace of mind. It was a very satisfying experience. Thank you very much!
特別企画で参加させていただきました!チェックイン場所はワードショッピングセンターの前のケワロ湾(Kewalo Basin)マカニ号チケットブース。とのことで、初ハワイの私たちは、最初分からなくて・・・少しうろうろしてしまいましたが、ワイキキから一番奥の屋根が青くて黄色のチケットブース(結構目立ちます。他は白なので)があり、行き着くことが出来ました!ヨット経験は初めてでしたが、心地よい風と素晴らしい景色に自然に”気持ちいい~”って言っていましたよ。少し揺れますが、幸い私たちは薬を飲まなくても大丈夫でした!ヨットは新しくキレイでキャプテンと副キャプテンさんは日本語が出来てとっても親切でした。なので英語が出来なくても安心して参加できます。とっても満足の出来る経験でした。有難うございました。

I participated with a friend. We took the trolley to Ala Moana, and while shopping, we walked to Ward Center and Ward.
The catamaran yacht was larger and more beautiful than the yachts in Waikiki. Once on the yacht, the captain provided instructions (like how to wear a life jacket), and we set sail.
That day, the wind was strong and it rocked a bit, but it felt like a theme park attraction and was very enjoyable. If you tend to get motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication... Usually, I see the ocean from the hotel, but the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was a completely different and beautiful sight. As it gradually became dusk and the sun turned orange, the sky and clouds changed colors, creating a very magical atmosphere.
On the way back, it was still a bit bright, so we walked to Ala Moana, but it started to get darker along the way, which made me a little anxious. It said it would take about ten minutes to walk, but it might take a bit longer... It might be safer to secure your return transportation in advance.
The cruising experience was truly enjoyable.
友達と参加しました。
行きはトロリーでアラモアナまで行き、買い物をしながらワードセンター、ワードと歩いて行きました。
カタマランヨットは、ワイキキにあるヨットより大きく綺麗でした。
ヨットに乗ると、キャプテンからの説明(ライフジャケットの着け方など)があり、いよいよ出航です。
その日は、風が強く揺れましたが、それも遊園地のアトラクション感覚でとても楽しかったです。乗り物酔いする方は、薬を飲んだほうがいいかも・・・
いつもは、ホテルの方から海を見ていますが、海からのワイキキのホテル郡やダイヤモンドヘッドは、また一味違った景色でとての綺麗でした。
だんだん夕暮れになり、太陽もオレンジ色に変わっていくと空も雲も色を変えていき、とても幻想的でした。
帰りはまだ少し明るかったので歩いてアラモアナまで行きましたが、途中だんだん暗くなった来て少し不安になりました。
歩いて10分とありましたが、もう少しかかるかも・・・
帰りの足を確保しておいた方が安心かも。
クルージングは、本当に楽しかったです。

We participated in a catamaran sunset cruise just the two of us. Unlike the tours organized in Japan, which are usually filled with Japanese people (^^;), there were only a couple of other Japanese guests, and most of the participants were foreigners. Since it was a rare opportunity to travel abroad, it was fun to share the yacht with people from various countries.
Although we can't speak English, we enjoyed taking photos and having light meals together in a relaxed atmosphere. The captain spoke Japanese, so I felt relieved even though I couldn't understand English! You can rest assured on that point!
It was my first time on a yacht, and it was different from any boat I had been on before. I could feel the wind on my skin, in my body, and in my heart! It was truly refreshing and gave me an indescribable sense of exhilaration. As the sun began to set, the sky turned a beautiful red, creating a magical view. My partner and I were captivated, and the mood was just wonderful (laughs).
While being young is great, it would also be lovely to share such a view together as an old couple, just gazing at the scenery.
It was the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen in Hawaii.
彼と2人でカタマランサンセットクルーズに参加しました
周りは日本人だらけ(^^;っという日本の企画したツアーとは一味違い、私達以外に2人程の日本人はいましたが殆どは外国の方ばかり。
せっかくの海外旅行!色々な国の方と同じヨットなんてのも楽しいですよ。
私達は英語が話せませんが、写真を取り合ったり軽い食事をしたりと和やかな雰囲気で過ごしました。
キャプテンは日本語が話せる方だったので、英語のわからない私も一安心!
その点はご安心を!
ヨットに乗るのは始めてでしたが、今までに乗った事のある船とは違い、風を肌で!体で!心で!感じる事ができました。
本当に気持ちがよくてなんとも言えない爽快感があります。
日が落ちる頃には空が赤く染まり幻想的な景色が広がります。
私達カップルもうっとり。そしてとってもいいムード(笑)
若いうちもいいけど老夫婦になってからも2人でぼんやりあの景色がみれたら素敵
ハワイで見た どの夕日よりも綺麗な景色でした。

I participated with my mother. Just before boarding, my mother was worried about seasickness, but the captain, who spoke Japanese, was able to persuade her to get on the boat. Unlike large ships, we could feel the sea right below us, and the boat was new and clean. We both temporarily felt unwell due to the rocking, but the crew was kind and even lent us jackets. We were able to enjoy our time with other passengers as well, and it became a wonderful memory. I discovered a new way to enjoy Hawaii that was completely different from the fun of shopping!
母と2人で参加しました。直前で母が船酔いを恐れたのですが日本語のできるキャプテンに説得してもらい乗船。大型船と違いすぐ真下に海を感じられ船も新しくキレイでした。揺れて親子で一時的にダウンしたのですがクルーの方が親切で、ジャケットも貸していただきました。同乗した他のお客さんとも楽しく過ごすことが出来、いい思い出になりました。買い物の楽しみとは全く違う新しいハワイの楽しみを見つけられました!

The speed was amazing, and it had a charm different from that of large ships. Moreover, since it was a sunset cruise, the scenery was also fantastic. It became a wonderful memory fitting for the last day of my stay in Hawaii.
I feel a bit guilty for enjoying it so much for just $7.77. I'm sure it would be a satisfying tour even at the regular price.
Additionally, I got seasick on the shuttle boat to the Atlantis submarine I initially participated in, so I took motion sickness medication before joining. Therefore, while there was some rocking, I was fine with seasickness. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to prepare in advance.
スピード感が最高で大型船とは違う魅力にあふれていました。しかもサンセットクルーズでしたので景色も最高でした。ハワイ滞在最終日にふさわしい、とても良い思い出になりました。
こんなに楽しめて$7.77は申し訳ないようです。きっと正規料金でも満足できるツアーだと思います。
また、最初に参加したアトランティス潜水艦は潜水艦停泊ポイントまでの送迎ボートで船酔いしてしまったので、酔い止め薬を飲んで参加しました。そのため、それなりに揺れもありますが船酔いは大丈夫でした。心配な方は事前に用意しておくと良いかもしれません。

I love Hawaii and visit every year as a tradition. This time, I met Alan for the first time and learned about the Makani's sunset sailing, so I decided to join.
When the captain said, "It's windy today," my husband, who is not great on boats, felt nervous, but that was only at the beginning. With a drink in hand, I chatted with the captain right next to the steering area, watched the staff skillfully manage the sails while reading the wind, and most importantly, enjoyed the 360-degree views while feeling the breeze—what a delight! I discovered that while I love the view of the ocean and Diamond Head from the hotel lanai, seeing the coastline of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea is also quite amazing! The Makani sailing allowed us to enjoy a refreshing two hours of leisurely views from the water.
Thank you, Alan!
ハワイが大好きで毎年の恒例行事で訪れています。そして今回、初めてALANちゃんに出会い、マカニ号のサンセットセーリングを知り参加してみました。
「今日は風が強いよ」というキャプテンの言葉に船に弱い主人はドキドキだったけど、それも最初のうちだけ。ドリンク片手に操縦席の直ぐ横の席でするキャプテンとのおしゃべり、風をよみながらヨットの帆をさばくスタッフのてきばきとした動き、そしてなによりも風を感じながら360度の眺めを楽しむことができ、ご機嫌♪なんといっても発見だったのは、ホテルのラナイからみる海やダイヤモンドヘッドが大好きだけど、海からみるホノルルの海岸やダイヤモンドヘッドもかなり良いね!ってこと。マカニ号セーリングは、海の上から景色を眺めながらゆったりとした爽快な2時間を味わうことができました。
ALANちゃんありがとうございました!

Due to the good reviews online, I attended with my girlfriend. We rented a car to get there. The parking lot at Tower Place was available, and the fee is $2 if you make a purchase at any store.
We arrived 15 minutes early, and the welcome hula had already started. The course was a three-star one, and we opted for the couple's plan. The seats were a bit cramped, but we were right in front of the stage. Looking around, I noticed that 95% of the attendees were Japanese. It was easy to identify newlyweds, their parents, and other participants. Perhaps it was more noticeable since it was June.
The food was as delicious as the reviews suggested! The lobster was really tasty. The portion sizes were just right, and my girlfriend finished everything. The champagne that came with it was in a large size that we couldn't finish.
What my girlfriend liked the most was taking a nap on the resort chairs on the upper deck (the kind you often see by the pool). Although it was quite windy on the deck, the area sheltered from the wind was quiet and pleasant, albeit with a smell of heavy oil. We were able to take lots of pictures of the sunset. However, even though it was Friday, we couldn't see the fireworks. (It's unclear whether they weren't happening or if we just missed them.)
As everyone has mentioned, the staff was very service-oriented! I was surprised by how clearly they provided their services beyond what was necessary. Additionally, the photos included in the plan options exceeded my expectations and were very satisfying!
And speaking of surprises, the dance time after the hula show was quite something. I'm not sure if I should spoil the surprise, but at the very end, everyone, led by the waiters, played a train game. The atmosphere was lively, and I didn't think much of it at the time, but I suddenly wondered, "Have these waiters ever seen a train?" The sight of people lining up without any awkwardness left the foreign guests with their mouths agape. In other words, it was completely aimed at the Japanese audience. I have to admire this method of entertainment; it's impressive! My conclusion: If you're Japanese, you should definitely participate! It’s absolutely worth more than the price.
P.S. Don’t forget to tip the waiters at the end!
書込みで前評判が良いため、彼女と2人で参加してきました。
レンタカーで現地へ。タワープレイスの駐車場が利用でき、
料金はどこかの店で買い物すれば$2です。
15分前についたら歓迎フラが始まってました。
コースは3スターで、オプションのカップルプランをつけました。
席はやや狭かったですが、ステージ正面で良かったです。
まわりをみると日本人率95%。
新婚さん&両親&式の参加者と一目でわかりました。
6月だったから余計でしょうかね・・
料理は評判どおりおいしかったです!
ロブスターはほんとにうまかったー
量もおなかいっぱい適量で、彼女も全て食べてました。
付いてたシャンパンは飲みきれない大きさです。
今回彼女が一番気に入ったのは、最上部のデッキにある
リゾートチェアー?(よくプールサイドにあるやつ)でのうたた寝でした。
デッキは強風が吹いてますが、風ウラは重油臭いですが静かで気持ちいいです。
夕日の写真もいっぱい撮れました。
でも金曜だったけど、花火は見れませんでした。
(やってなかったのか、気付かなかったのかは不明)
みなさん言われるとおりスタッフの方はサービス精神旺盛でした!
必要以上にわかりやすいサービスをしてくれるのには驚きます。
あと、プランオプションに入ってた写真も想像以上で満足度大!
そして驚くといえば、フラショー終了後のダンスタイム。
ネタをばらしていいのかわかりませんが、最後の最後にみんなでウェイターを先頭に電車ごっこをしました。
気分は盛り上がっててそのときは何も思いませんでしたが、ふと疑問が・・
「果たしてこのウェイターさんたちは電車を見たことがあるのだろうか?」
人が違和感無く連なる光景に、くちをあんぐりさせて見ていた外人客。。
つまり完全に日本人向けですね。この盛り上げ術には、ある意味脱帽です。恐るべし!
わたくしなりの結論:日本人ならぜひ参加すべき!値段以上の価値絶対あり。
p.s 最後にアピールがあるので、ウェイターさんにチップを忘れずに・・

I had heard rumors that sailing could be quite bumpy, so I was worried, but the speed of the boat, the incredibly refreshing wind, and the overall pleasantness left me no time to feel uneasy at all.
On the day I participated, there was a bit of wind, and it was indeed quite rocky, but that was part of the fun! I also joined the dinner cruise, which offered a completely different sense of exhilaration.
Along the way, dolphins joined our cruise! They were so cute, leading our boat while jumping around. Looking down from the netting at the front, I could see the dolphins swimming up close, which was truly moving!
The meal included a wrap sandwich, salad, and something else, and it was delicious. However, I was so caught up in the enjoyment that I hardly focused on the food; I was fully immersed in the sailing experience.
The sunset cruise for $7.77 is just too cheap... It almost feels like a steal. I definitely want to participate again next time!
初のセーリングで、結構揺れる?といううわさを聞いていたので、心配でしたが、
船のスピード感とすっごくさわやかな風と、気もちよさによってる暇なんて、まったくありませんでした。
参加した日は、少し風もあり?結構揺れてましたが、またそれもおもしろい!!
ディナークルーズにも参加しましたが、まったく違う爽快感が味わえます。
途中、イルカがクルージングに仲間入り!!
とってもかわいく、ジャンプしながら私達の船を先導?してくれていました。
前の網上のところから下をみるとイルカの泳ぐ姿がまじかに見られてまたまた
感動!!しちゃいます。
お食事は、ラップサンドとサラダと何かあったのですが、味は美味しかったです。
でも、あまりの気持ちよさにそれどころじゃなく、ずっとセーリングを体感してました。
サンセットクルージングの$7.77なんて、安すぎる・・・・・。
なんだかこっちのほうが悪いような気分まで・・・・。
次回行っても、ぜひ、参加したいです。

I ordered a one-day limousine pass, and a pickup came to the front of the hotel. It was shiny and pure white. I've been to Hawaii every year for various reasons, but this was the first time I rode in such a beautiful limousine.
Now, regarding the $7 yacht... I wasn't expecting much, but I was completely satisfied. How did it turn out like this? It was the best part of this trip to Hawaii. No complaints—feeling the cool, gentle breeze while enjoying beer, bourbon, and light snacks (which were also great), I naturally had two drinks for free. It felt so good that I ordered another for $5.
The captain was handsome and kind, and he spoke a bit of Japanese. The crew did a great job, and the bartender was also handsome. I've been on a dinner cruise before that cost around $130 on a big ship. While I could see some waves and scenery from the deck, it was boring.
This cruise was on a different level—extraordinary. It felt like I was merging with the waves and the wind... It's truly amazing how things can feel surreal. Thank you to all the staff.
Oh, and when disembarking, I gave the captain a $20 tip as a token of appreciation. Otherwise, it felt like I would be taking advantage of them.
That was my comment of gratitude.

It was a very satisfying tour! ★
I got a bit seasick from having too much fun, but the staff were very kind to me, and it became an unforgettable memory. (For those who are prone to motion sickness, I think having some anti-nausea medication would be reassuring.)
Unlike a sunset cruise on a large ship, this is a recommended tour where you can also enjoy interacting with people! ♪

I participated in the campaign, and it was incredibly worthwhile! I would love to join again even at the regular price!
I arrived a bit late on the scheduled day, and then I thought, "It's just the two of us today!" Is it a private tour? Lucky!? However... I received an original hat and taxi fare for the next day. Since there were no issues, we reached an agreement. It seems they had called the hotel about this, but they couldn't get in touch because the name of the person who made the reservation was different from the name of the person staying.
The captain speaks a little Japanese, and the co-captain's ex-wife was Japanese, so there's no need to worry about the language.
On the day of participation, the only other guests were two foreign families. Perhaps because there were so few of us, we each enjoyed our time without much interference.
The meal was simple but very delicious, and I had seconds. After getting full, we moved to the net, where we could see the deep blue sea right below us, and the splashes felt great! Lying on my back added even more thrill! It was so much fun! However... I got seasick from overeating. Let's be careful not to eat too much.
The boat went even further out to sea beyond Diamond Head! It charged through the high waves of the open ocean. We were trolling on the way out, but unfortunately, we didn't catch anything. After that, we returned to off Waikiki and then went out again. We got to see a beautiful sunset, and they took us back and forth for the full duration.
The boat is new, hygienic, and feels great. Unlike a luxurious cruise, the way to experience the Hawaiian sea on this catamaran cruise was truly moving!
キャンペーンで参加しました、
こちらが申し訳ないくらいにお得でした!
正規料金でもまた参加してみたいです!
予定日にちょっと遅れて到着、
すると、「今日は自分たち2人だけ!」
貸切?ラッキー!?と思いきや・・
オリジナル帽子とタクシー代をもらって次の日に。
と、問題ないので交渉成立。
どうやらこの件をホテルに電話をくれてたのですが、
予約者と宿泊代表者名が異なっていた為の連絡とれずでした。
船長さんは日本語を少し話せますし、
副キャプテンは前妻が日本人だったそうで
言葉は心配しなくても大丈夫です。
参加当日は、自分たち以外は外人で2組のファミリー。
少人数のせいかあまり干渉せずに
それぞれゆったり楽しく過ごしました。
食事はシンプルですが、とてもおいしくて、自分はおかわり。
お腹一杯になったところで網の上に移動、
深い青い海が真下に見え、スプラッシュが気持ちがいい!
仰向けに乗るとさらにスリル満点!楽しい!
しかし・・・食べ過ぎたせいで船酔いダウン。
食べすぎには注意しましょう。
船はダイアモンドヘッドよりもさらに奥の外海までGO!
外海の高い波を勢い良く割って進みます。
片道はトローリングしてましたが何も釣れず残念。
その後ワイキキ沖まで戻って、また離れ。
美しいサンセットも見れ、時間いっぱい2往復してくれました。
船は新しいし衛生的で気持ちが良いです。
豪華クルーズとは違う、このカタマランクルーズだけで
感じられるハワイの海との接し方は大変感動でした!

I had an absolutely wonderful and moving experience! At first, I was planning to go on a sunset cruise with another company, but I was drawn in by Alan's promotional price... I made a reservation, feeling a bit anxious about the English tour. However, I ended up being extremely satisfied.
When I headed towards the meeting point on the ocean side of the Ward Warehouse, I found it surprisingly easily. The surroundings were filled with foreign guests. But since such a situation is rare in Hawaii, it was actually a nice change. I had heard that the boat would sway a lot, and I was prepared for seasickness... but it felt like a roller coaster ride, and I ended up having so much fun and squealing with excitement. There were explanations in Japanese, and the staff were all kind and unique. (One of them seriously mentioned that bonito can be caught here... unbelievable! Haha.) The speed was thrilling, but in the second half, we cruised slowly, enjoying the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and even though it was a bit cloudy, we were able to fully appreciate the stunning sunset.
The spring rolls were delicious, and I enjoyed them with plenty of chili sauce. And I must say, the cookies were exquisite! There were four types, and I tried them all! The almond balls were especially recommended. I was worried about seasickness, so I skipped the alcohol, but I thought I could have had some without any issues.
To have enjoyed this much at this price! I believe I would have been satisfied even at the regular price. I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii!
本当に楽しかった&感動ものでした!始めは他社のサンセットクルーズを計画していたのですが、アランちゃんのキャンペーン価格に惹かれ…イングリッシュツアーということで少々不安になりながらも予約。でも結果的に大々満足でした。
集合場所はワードウェアハウスの海側を目指して行ったら、意外とすぐに分かりました。周りは外国のお客さんばかり。でもハワイでこんなシチュエーションはなかなかないので逆に良かったです。船はすごく揺れるらしい、もしかしたら船酔いも覚悟…と思っていましたが、ジェットコースター気分(?)で楽しくてキャーキャーはしゃいじゃいました。日本語での説明もあり、係の人たちも親切でユニークな方ばかり。(ここでは鰹がとれるよ、と真顔で話してました。…ありえないから!笑)スピード感もかなり楽しめましたが、後半はゆっくり走ってワイキキの街並み、ダイアモンドヘッド、そして少し雲がかってはいたけれど絶景の夕日もばっちり堪能できました。
食事は春巻きがおいしかったです。チリソースをたっぷりつけていただきました。あとなんといってもクッキーが絶品でした!四種類あったのですが、全制覇!アーモンドボールが特にお勧めです。船酔いが心配でお酒はやめておいたのですが、あれなら飲んでも大丈夫だったかな~と思いました。
こんなに楽しめてこのお値段!正規料金でもきっと満足だったと思います。またハワイに行ったら参加したいです。
