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。

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 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。

It was a participation through a campaign, but to be honest, it's definitely worth it even at the regular price. The small group yacht cruise made us feel very luxurious and rich. My children (ages 3 and 5) said it was the most fun out of all the tours we did this time. We took a lot of pictures on the sea, and it became a special memory for the kids. We were able to take many great photos that we can cherish forever.

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!

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!

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。

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.

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!

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!

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!

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! ♪
大変、満足できるツアーでした★
はしゃぎすぎて、途中から少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、スタッフの方たちにとても良くしていただき、忘れられない良い思い出となりました。
(乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め薬があると安心かと思います)
大きな船でのサンセットクルーズとはまた違って、人々との交流も楽しめるオススメのツアーです♪

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。

The blue sky, the blue sea, the sound of the wind, the sound of the waves. I was able to forget reality and refresh myself. The only sounds I could hear were the strong wind and the waves crashing against the boat, creating an illusion as if I were standing on the sea. It was truly wonderful.
Since I participated in a campaign this time, I met at the location. I took TheBUS from Waikiki and got off at Ward Warehouse. However, I mistakenly got off at the previous stop, Ward Center, and ended up wandering around because I couldn't find the ticket booth. It was hot, really hot. I didn’t know which way to go... it felt far! I decided in my heart that next time I would opt for a shuttle service. In the end, I asked a Japanese guy, and he said, "Makani? It's really fun! Enjoy!" My expectations grew.
By the way, the ticket booth is across Ala Moana Street from the bus stop, where many boats are docked, at the far end from Waikiki. If you take any bus except number 6, it’s right in front of the next bus stop after Ward Warehouse. I arrived earlier than the departure time and had some time to spare, but I was relieved to be allowed to wait inside the boat.
On the day of the event, there were about a dozen participants, which seemed a bit fewer, so I could enjoy myself freely without having to compete for space anywhere on the boat. I even got to sit behind the captain, but I hope I wasn’t in the way. The waves were said to be relatively calm, but it was rocking! Rather than just swaying, it was more like riding the waves with quite a bit of up and down motion. My husband got terribly seasick, possibly helped by the beer, and ended up missing most of the experience. Unfortunately, that meant he also missed out on the meal. It was a pity. If you're not confident, it's better to take motion sickness medication.
The wind was also strong. At one point, the co-captain shouted, "Dolphin!" and I wondered, "Really!?" Was I being teased?? Apparently, if you're lucky, you might encounter dolphins. In the end, we didn’t see any dolphins, but we had a blast showering at the bow of the boat and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! The darkening sea and the sunset were soothing. Definitely wear clothes or a swimsuit that you don’t mind getting wet, and overcome the rough waves? Clear your mind. At $7.77, it was quite a bargain! But even at the regular price, I don’t think I would have regretted it at all. I will definitely go again! (Thank you, Hamyu, for the beautiful photos!)
青い空、青い海、風の音、波の音。
現実を忘れてリフレッシュ出来ました。ゴーゴーと大きな風の音と、船にぶつかる波の音しか聞こえない、まるで海の上に立っているかのような錯覚すら覚えました。ほんとによかった・・。
今回キャンペーンでの参加でしたので現地集合。ワイキキ方面からTheBUSでワードウェアハウス下車。しかし一つ手前のワードセンターで下車してしまった為チケットブースがわからずウロウロ。暑い、暑いよー。どっちかわからない・・遠い!次回は送迎付きにしようと心に決めました(^^)結局わからず日系のお兄さんに尋ねたところ、「マカニ?すっごく面白いよ!楽しんでね!」。期待に胸が膨らみます。ちなみにチケットブースはバス停からアラモアナ通りを渡り船がいっぱい停泊しているところで、軒を連ねたブースのワイキキ方面から一番奥手。6番以外のバスならワードウェアハウスの次のバス停の目の前です。それでも就航時間より早めに着いて持て余す所でしたが、船内で待って良いとのことですぐに乗せて頂きほっと一息。
当日参加者は十数名、若干少なめだったようで、船内のどこに行っても場所の取りあいをすることもなく好きな場所で自由に楽しむことが出来ました。操縦席の後ろの席にも座らせて頂いたけど、キャプテンの邪魔になってしまったかな? 波は比較的穏やかな方だとのことでしたが、ゆ、揺れる!揺れると言うよりは波に乗ってかなり上下すると言うべきでしょうか。ビールも手伝ったのか夫はひどい船酔いで大半を棒に振る事に。お陰で食事も棒に振る事に。残念でした。自信の無い方は酔い止めを服用されたほうが良いですね。 風もスゴイです。 途中副キャプテンの「イルカ!」の声に「ホント!?」・・からかわれたのかしら??運が良ければイルカに遭遇することもあるようです。結局イルカには会えなかったけど船首でシャワーを浴びおおはしゃぎ、十分満喫しました!暗くなってゆく海、サンセットにも癒されます。是非濡れてもよい服装・水着で、荒波を乗り越え?頭を真っ白にして。$7.77とは!かなりおトク♪でしたが正規料金でも絶対に後悔しなかったと思います。次回も絶対!(はみゅさん写真きれいに撮れてましたありがとー!)

On June 14, we participated as a couple! Initially, we didn't plan on going on a cruise, but thanks to Alan's special project, we were able to join☆ Thank you so much, Alan m(_ _)m
We were at Ala Moana Shopping Center, so we walked there from there. At Kewalo Basin, there are many boat docks, and as we walked, we thought, "Which one is it?" (from the perspective of Ala Moana SC), the furthest one was the catamaran check-in, in front of the Fisherman's Wharf building.
An easygoing man helped us there.
On the boat, there were only the two of us Japanese and one woman. The rest were foreigners, which was actually nice. Once on board, the captain explained various things to everyone, but it was all in English, and we couldn't understand a thing. The foreigners were laughing, and we thought, "Oh, he must have said something funny." After explaining to the foreigners, the captain came over to us and started explaining in Japanese. His explanation was also entertaining, and we realized that the foreigners were laughing at that joke. We are grateful to the kind captain.
As the boat moved forward, we enjoyed the pleasant breeze and the view of Waikiki from across the water. It felt amazing.
It seemed that it was a day with a lot of swaying, and I got a little seasick (I forgot to take my motion sickness medication), but the staff quickly noticed and brought me a cup with ice, saying, "This will make you feel better."
The drinks included two cups, but we felt one was enough. The scenery and the sunset were incredibly beautiful, and we were captivated by it...
Just when we thought the time was almost up, we ended up cruising for quite a while. I definitely recommend it! Please give it a try. A fun captain is waiting for you☆
6月14日に夫婦で参加しました!
当初はクルージングの予定は無かったのですが、アランちゃんの特別企画のおかげで参加する事が出来ました☆本当にアランちゃん、ありがとうm(_ _)m
私たちはアラモアナショッピングセンターにいたので、そこから歩いて行きました。
ケワロ湾には、沢山の船乗り場があり「えっ?どれ~?」と思いつつ歩いていたら、
(アラモアナSCから見て)一番奥がカタマランの受付でした。フィッシャーマンズワーフの建物の前です。
そこで気さくなおじさんが対応してくれました。
舟には日本人は私たちと、女性一人のみ。他は外人だらけで逆に良かったです。
乗ると、船長が皆に色々説明してくれますが、全部英語でちんぷんかんぷん。
外人さんは笑ったりしてるけど、「今おもしろい事言ったんだな~」位でいたら、
外人さんに説明後、ちゃんと私たちに近寄ってきてくれて、日本語で説明を始めてくれました。
その説明もおもしろく、「さっき外人さんが笑ってたのはこのギャグで笑ってたのか~」ってわかり親切な船長さんに感謝です。
船が進み、とても気持ちよい風と対岸から見るワイキキの景色。最高に気持ちよかったです。
その日はゆれが激しい日だったみたいで、私はほんの少し酔ってしまいましたが(酔い止めを飲むの忘れてました)、スタッフの方がすぐ気づいてくれて、
「これを食べたら気持ちいいから」ってコップに氷を入れて持ってきてくれました。
ドリンクも2杯付きですが、私たちは1杯でも十分な感じでした。だって景色とかサンセットが最高に綺麗ですし、それに見とれてたら・・・
時間もすぐに終わりかと思ったら、結構長い間クルージングしてくれました。
絶対オススメですよ!ぜひ参加してみて下さい。
楽しい船長さんが待ってます☆

I never really considered participating in a yacht cruise. However, this time I joined because of ALAN's $7.77 campaign to give it a try. I was completely satisfied!! Honestly, I feel a bit guilty for participating at just $7.77!!
The captain spoke Japanese well, the co-captain was cool, and the bartender was kind. We shared the boat with some foreign guests. While there were many Japanese people in other activities, in this one, there were only us and one other Japanese group. It felt liberating in a way!!
I tend to get seasick, so I took some motion sickness medicine before joining (that was the right choice! (^^;)). They intentionally maneuver the boat to create some waves, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's better to take it!
But sailing on a yacht with the wind felt less like nausea and more like being on an amusement park ride, and I truly enjoyed it! The food we had on board was incredibly delicious! The sunset was breathtakingly beautiful, something I've never seen before!!
I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii! Thank you to the crew for such wonderful memories!!! Photos? The yacht. Photos? The sunset from the yacht.
ヨットクルーズに参加するなんて全然考えてませんでした。
でも今回ALANの$7.77キャンペーンがあったのでお試しがてら参加。
もう大満足!!正直$7.77で参加させてもらったのが申し訳ない位です!!
日本語が上手なキャプテン。かっこよい副キャプテン。そして優しいバーテンさん。3人のクルーと乗り合わせた外国人のみなさん。
他のアクティビティは日本人が多かったけど、このアクティビティは日本人が私達とあと1組だけ。逆にはじけれた感じです!!
船酔いしやすいあたしは酔い止めを飲んで参加。(これは正解でした (^^;)
わざと揺れる様に操縦したりするので酔いやすい人は飲んだ方がいいですよ♪
でも風をきって進むヨットは気持ち悪さというより、何か遊園地のアトラクションに乗ってる感じで本当に楽しめました!
中で食べたご飯もすっごいおいしかった!サンセットも見たことない美しさ!!
またハワイに行ったら是非参加したいです♪クルーの皆様本とに楽しい思い出を
ありがとう!!! 写真?ヨット。 写真?ヨットからみたサンセット。

On June 24th, my spouse and I participated in a sunset cruise. I thought it might be smaller than expected, but once the sails were up, it felt fast and the refreshing breeze was pleasant. Light snacks and two drinks were included, and we finished eating early, allowing us to leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. In the evening, the wind can be a bit chilly, so it's a good idea to bring something light like a cardigan.
The boat rocked quite a bit at departure, so those who are prone to seasickness might want to take some motion sickness medication.
The view of Diamond Head and the lined-up hotels from the sea was very beautiful. The color of the ocean was deep blue, reminiscent of lapis lazuli, and it felt mystical. As the sun gradually set, the beautiful sunset was breathtaking. There were some people fishing, but unfortunately, they didn't catch any fish. However, the family of foreigners who were on board took some photos for us, and everyone was friendly.
I would love to participate again when I come back to Honolulu.
6月24日のサンセットクルーズに夫婦で参加しました。思ったより小さいかなと思いましたが帆を張るとスピード感もありさわやかな風が気持ち良かったです。軽食と2ドリンクが付いていて、私たちは早めに食べ終えて海からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドをゆっくり見ることができました。夕方は風がやや寒いのでカーディガン等軽く羽織る物を持っていた方がいいですヨ。
出航時はだいぶ揺れたので船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。
海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドや立ち並ぶホテルは大変きれいでした。海の色も紺碧でラピスラズリを思わせて神秘的でした。だんだんと日が沈んできれいな夕焼けが感動的でした。釣竿を出している方がありましたが残念ながら魚は釣れませんでしたが、一緒に乗った外国人のファミリーに写真を撮ってもらったりしてみんなフレンドリーでした。
またホノルルに来たら参加したいと思います。

We participated in the campaign as a family. Our 3-year-old and 5-year-old kids really enjoyed the thrilling cruise. The meals included wrap rolls, spring rolls, and salad, as mentioned in the reviews. The drinks came in large cups, and the draft beer was very delicious. While it wasn't a luxurious dinner, the small yacht cruise with drinks in hand felt more like a rich local experience than a typical sightseeing tour, providing satisfaction beyond the price. I recommend it for those who are tired of the same Japanese jokes from the conductor. Since it's a small group, the crew is attentive and ensures everyone can enjoy in their own way. Without a doubt, it was the best among the optional tours we took this time.
家族でキャンペーンで参加しました。3歳と5歳の子供もスリル満点のクルーズを喜んでましたよ。食事は書き込みにあるようにラップロールと春巻きとサラダ。ドリンクは大きなカップで2杯で生ビールはとってもおいしかったですよ。豪華なディナーではありませんがドリンク片手に少人数のヨットクルーズは観光ツアーというより、リッチなローカルの楽しみってカンジで値段以上の満足がありますよ。毎回同じ日本語ジョークのコンダクターには飽き飽きしてる人におすすめ。少人数相手だからクルーの人もそれぞれがそれぞれの楽しみ方をできるように気配りしてくれますよ。間違いなく今回行ったオプションツアーの中ではベストでした。

The latest ship provided a very satisfying tour with a voyage of about two hours. The number of dishes was limited, but they were delicious. The course of the voyage went past Waikiki Beach and out to Diamond Head, then returned. Since the departure was at 5:00 PM, the sunset was beautiful, creating a memorable moment that felt like being in a movie. There was no Japanese guidance during the tour, but the crew was well-trained, so I think those who are not confident in English can participate with ease. *It can get chilly on the water, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes.
最新の船で約2時間の航海は大変満足のいくツアーでした。
料理の数はほんのわずかですが、美味しく頂けました。
航海のコースはワイキキビーチの前を通りダイアモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行き、
帰ってくるコースです。参加は17:00出発ともあり、夕日がきれいでまるで映画の中にいるような心に残るひと時でした。
参加時には日本語の案内などはありませんでしたが、クルーがよく教育されており
英語の苦手な方も安心して参加できると思います。
*海上は冷えますので何か羽織るものがあると良いと思います。

Everything was beautiful!
The boat and the scenery.
And what’s great is that it wasn’t just Japanese people!
Activities in Hawaii usually feel like they’re just for Japanese people, all speaking Japanese and having fun, but all the staff on the catamaran were foreigners. Most of the participants were also foreigners.
However, the captain spoke Japanese fluently, so I could understand everything, including the explanations and conversations, perfectly in Japanese!
It was wonderful to enjoy the foreign atmosphere without any language barriers.
Moreover, although it was described as a "light meal," there was plenty of food and it was delicious!
I was surprised and happy since I didn’t expect much from the food!
The sunset viewed from the boat was stunningly beautiful, allowing me to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and fully enjoy nature.
I felt like a celebrity! (laughs)
You can feel the wind, which is really nice, but it gets cold during the sunset, so I recommend bringing a light long-sleeve hoodie or jacket.
全てがキレイでした☆
船も景色も。
そして何が良いって「日本人ばかりじゃない」ってこと♪
いつもHawaiiのアクティビティって日本人だけで日本語でワイワイ・・・って感じなのに、カタマランのスタッフ全てが外人さん。参加する人もほとんど外人さん。
なのに、キャプテンが日本語問題ないので、説明も途中途中の会話もバッチリ日本語で理解できちゃう♪
外国気分を満喫しながら言葉の不自由さが無いなんて、なんて素敵なんでしょう♪
さらに「軽い食事」と書かれていたのに、しっかり量もあるしとにかくおいしい!!
料理なんて期待していなかっただけにビックリ&ハッピー♪
肝心の船の上からみるサンセットは うっとりと美しく、街の騒がしさを離れて大自然を満喫。
すっかりセレブ気分でした(笑)
風を感じてすんごく気持ちイイですが、サンセットだと寒くなってくるので、ぜひ長袖のパーカーやジャケットを薄手の物で良いので持っていった方が良いですよー。
