Whole family enjoyed this experience. Small crowd so made it even more enjoyable. Food, alcohol drinks, drinks for the kids, food, watching the sunset out at sea, and the fireworks. The crew were welcoming and friendly, glad we made this part of our trip.

On June 24th (Friday), I was able to participate with peace of mind since there was a pickup service from Waikiki. The Hilton fireworks were somewhat lacking compared to Japanese fireworks, but the night view of Waikiki from the sea was very beautiful and wonderful. I was captivated and time flew by. I would like to use Veltra's tours again in Japan.
6月24日(金)ワイキキ送迎付きだったので安心して参加することができました。
ヒルトン花火は 日本の花火に比べると 物足りないものでしたが、 初めての海から眺めるワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で素晴らしく 見飽きることなく あっという間に時間がたちました。ベルトラのツアーはまた日本でも利用したいと思います。

I am in Honolulu a lot on business so when I stay I love to unwind on the weekend with a “booze cruise”. Other places at this price point are usually BYOB or cash bar, and some places have open bars but they’re way more expensive. This one is the best price AND has an open bar? Sign me up! Will definitely go again next time I am in the area.

I wasn’t totally sold on this tour since clubbing/partying and loud music isn’t usually my scene. But I do love fireworks, and sailing, so I figured why not, it’s only one hour…and I’m so glad I did! The music was kinda loud, but the vibe was so chill and laid-back that it didn’t feel overwhelming at all. I guess that’s what Hawaii is all about! Everyone was so friendly, I had no problem talking to anyone and enjoying the fireworks. And the cocktail (I only had one, haha) was tasty too! If you are on the fence about this tour, I say just take it!

Me and my friends had so much fun on this tour, we can’t wait to go again. We loved watching the fireworks, and the crew was soooo much fun (shoutout to Dustin!) The cruise was only one hour which is NOT long enough to get totally wasted at the open bar lol, which actually turned out to be a good thing because we ended up chilling in Kaka’ako afterwards. So an awesome pregame lol. Very highly recommend this tour!

We had a party of 6 so did private charter. Only way to do the fireworks.
Boat was perfect and the crew was fantastic. Very timely and thoughtful. Right before dusk, captain saw a whale surface and we got to see it and the flute. Appreciated him catching it.
We got lucky and they texted day of to see if we wanted to go out early for the sunset. Got message late and they still made it work. Only a minimal extra charge.
Whale, sunset and fireworks. Doesn’t get any better. Highly recommend this tour.

Getting to the boarding area takes some time, and even though drinks are included once you're on board, you can't really enjoy them on the deck. There wasn't much to see on the way to the fireworks location, and it would have been nice if there was a bit more fun along the way.

I wanted to see the Hilton fireworks, so I decided to join the dinner cruise the night before. I'm glad I could sign up on such short notice.
Every time I come to Hawaii, I've booked a dinner cruise, but honestly, I was surprised by the small boat and that dinner was a bento box. I was the only Japanese person who couldn't speak English well, and I was worried about what would happen if something went wrong. However, when I communicated my concerns to the staff, they reassured me that it would be fine and encouraged me to enjoy myself. They also made sure to take care of my drinks.
In the end, the bento box, which I was initially surprised by, turned out to be delicious on the boat, and I was able to eat it all. The fireworks were beautiful, and overall, I had a great time participating. (Having two drinks also lifted my spirits, haha!)
ヒルトンの花火が見たくて前日の夜でしたが、思い立って参加しました。急でも申し込めてよかったです。
毎回ハワイに来た時はディナークルーズを申し込んでいたのですが、正直小さい船(ボート?)でびっくりして、ディナーもお弁当なのがびっくりしました。
日本人でまともに英語が喋れないのが私一人だけで、何かあった時に困るのでスタッフに伝えると問題ないですよ、楽しみましょうって言ってくれて、飲み物等も気を遣ってもらえました。
結局びっくりしたお弁当も船の上だと増し増しで美味しくて、全部食べられました。
花火もきれいで、総じて楽しんで参加できました。(お酒2杯で気分が上がったのもありますw)

The size of the boat feels neither too big nor too small, but if you are cruising for the first time, I would recommend a slightly larger ship. I think it's better not to expect much from the meals on this type of tour. However, the fireworks viewed from the shore create a very nice atmosphere. Since it's a catamaran, it seems to have less rocking, but after all, it's a yacht, so if the wind picks up, it can rock quite a bit. By the way, during my time, there was hardly any rocking, but it's safe to assume that it will generally rock.
船のサイズは大きからず、小さからずという感じですが、初めてクルージングされるのであれば、もう少し大きな船をオススメします。この手のツアーでの食事は期待しない方が良いと思います。ただ岸からみる花火はとても雰囲気は良いです。カタマランですので揺れは少ないようですが、しかし所詮ヨットですので風が出てくれば、かなり揺れます。ちなみに私の時はほぼ揺れはなかったですが、基本揺れると思っておいて間違いないと思われます。

It may have been due to the bad weather the day before, but there was more rocking than expected, and many people got seasick (myself included). I was enjoying the scenery while feeling the breeze outside, but I started to feel unwell and couldn't enjoy the drinks or food at all... Among the passengers, there was a woman who became seriously ill, and the yacht had to make an emergency U-turn before the fireworks started, and she was taken away by the waiting ambulance. The staff were consistently friendly and attentive, and it was impressive how they handled the sick passenger with care. This was unavoidable, but in the end, we couldn't see the fireworks. There was an apology to all passengers for not being able to complete the tour, and they explained that negotiations for refunds and other compensations could be made, but there has been no contact since then. No one can be blamed, but I feel like I missed out. Even those who usually don't get seasick might want to take precautions just in case.
前日まで天候が悪かったからかもしれませんが、想定以上の揺れで、船酔い者多数でした(自分も含め)。外の風にあたりながら気持ちよく景色を楽しんでいたのですが、途中から気分が悪くなりお酒も食事も全く楽しめず…。中でも酷く体調を崩された女性がいて、花火が打ちあがる前にヨットは急遽Uターンし、待っていた救急車で運ばれていきました。スタッフは終始フレンドリーかつ気配りをされていて、急病者にも丁寧に対応をされていたのが印象的です。こればかりは仕方ないのですが、結局花火も見れずじまい。全乗客に対し、最後までツアーを行えなかったことに対する謝罪があり、返金等の対応も交渉できるという説明がありましたが、特にその後連絡はありません。誰も責められませんが、なんだか損をした気分です。普段船酔いしないという方も、念のため予防策はとっておいた方が良いかもしれません。

It was great to have only Japanese and Asian participants, which gave it an international feel. I became friends with the Riana couple, who live in Arizona and have a vacation home in Hawaii, and we had a lot of fun joking around together. It might be difficult for those who are not good at English at all, but if you can speak a little, you'll definitely have a good time.

I was nervous about whether we would make it since our pickup was over 30 minutes late. A young American couple waiting next to us asked, "Where is it going?" When I showed them my voucher, we realized we were on the same tour, and they contacted the tour company for us, which was a relief. The atmosphere on the boat wasn't bad, but it seemed a bit off for us. The only time it really got lively was during the fireworks. Well, the main purpose was to see the fireworks from the sea, so my husband and I thought, "Well, it's okay," as we returned home. Ah, it’s hard to say we had a lot of fun, though.

I also rode on the Majestic, so I would be happy if you could use it for comparison. First of all, the Majestic is a large ship, like a cruise ship. Therefore, it doesn't sway. However, the distance from the sea is far, so I would definitely recommend the Majestic for elderly people.
The Makani is a large yacht. It's thrilling, and you are very close to the sea, so think of it as a home party atmosphere on a big yacht. Because it's thrilling, it sways a lot. I took my parents in their 70s, and they struggled to endure the swaying, which left them with sore legs and unable to move the next day, forcing us to take a day off at the hotel.
The food is not much different on either, but since it sways a lot, many people got seasick. (About 30% of the people were definitely seasick.)
If you want a small passenger ship that is stable and doesn't sway, go for the Majestic. If you want to enjoy the sea and the swaying with a yacht-like experience, choose the Makani.
The low rating is not due to poor content, but because there wasn't much mention of the swaying in the reviews, which led me to take my parents in their 70s without considering it, resulting in a low rating. The staff and the ship were not bad.
マジェスティック号にも乗りましたので、比較検討に使ってもらえたらうれしいです。まず、マジェスティック号は大きな船です。客船みたいな。なので、揺れません。その代わり海との距離は遠いのでご年配の方は迷わずマジェスティックをお勧めします。
マカニ号は大きなヨットです。スリリングですし、海とも非常に近く、大きなヨットの上でホームパーティみたいな雰囲気だと思ってください。スリリングな分、めちゃくちゃ揺れます。70代の両親を連れて行ったのですが、あまりの揺れに踏ん張って耐えていたため、翌日足腰が痛くて動けなくなり、翌日一日ホテルでお休みを取ることになってしまいました。
食事の内容はどっちも大差ないですが、とにかく揺れるので、だいぶみなさん酔ってました。(3割ぐらいの方は確実に酔ってました。)
小さな客船で揺れもなく安定した感じを希望ならマジェスティック号。
海面と近くてヨットに乗る感覚で海や揺れを楽しみたい方はマカニ号です。
評価が低いのは内容が悪いのではなく、評価の中であんまり揺れに関する事が書かれていなかったので、揺れを気にせず70代の両親を連れて行ってしまったという事での低評価です。スタッフの方も船も悪くはありません。

The Makani No. 2 was a two-hull yacht.
In March, Hawaii is in its rainy season, and unfortunately, the weather was not great, but luckily it didn't rain.
We set sail from Kewalo Basin and enjoyed a round trip of about two hours near Diamond Head. I was able to experience the Hawaiian sea right beneath us and had a thrilling time.
Along the way, I got quite cold, but the staff member kindly served us warm herbal tea. The cookies were delicious too! ^_^
