We booked a private Honolulu Sunset Cruise to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. The crew was professional courteous and allowed everyone to enjoy the cruise. The next time we are in Honolulu, we will definitely book this cruise again!

Francesco and Ella were phenomenal. We had kids aged 9,5, and 3 with us. The two youngest were freaked out and didn’t want to go in the water. Francesco stayed with them while myself, my wife, and the 9 year old went snorkeling. Ella was very knowledgeable and patient. Thank you both for your hospitality and putting up with the kids. I recommend anyone try this out, it’s so much better than being on crowded boat, especially if you have kids.

I climbed to quite a high place, and the view is amazing! You can see Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. When coming down, if you ask, they will let you dip your feet in the sea for a moment (laughs).
かなり高い所まであがり、景色が最高です!ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドまで一望できます。
下に降りて来るときは希望したら一瞬海に足をちゃぽんしてくれます(笑)
I recommend this activity! The boat can be quite rocky, so if you are prone to seasickness, I suggest taking motion sickness medication. Sunscreen is a must.

Our party had 3 different cars coming from far outside Honolulu and some of us got caught in terrible morning traffic. The boat and office allowed us to wait and even helped on phone to one of the lost parties.
The boat crew were calm and pleasant despite a very late start. They were also respectful and thoughtful.

I arrived on time as instructed to gather 30 minutes before the reservation, but the staff was absent, so it seemed like it would have been fine to arrive a bit later.
I forgot to take motion sickness medication and got nauseous from the boat's rocking and the parasailing. For those who are prone to motion sickness, taking medication is essential. The staff at the reception and the person explaining the parasailing were able to converse in Japanese.
It was my first time parasailing. I felt more scared than I expected, but the view was absolutely amazing, and it became a wonderful memory.
予約時間の30分前集合の指示があったので時間通り行きましたが、スタッフが不在で待ち時間があったのでもう少し遅めに行っても大丈夫そうでした。
酔い止めを忘れてしまい船の揺れとパラセーリングの揺れで酔ってしまったので酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
受付の方、パラセーリングの説明をしてくれる方は日本語で会話できました。
パラセーリングは初めてでした。

It was more fun than I imagined. I experienced it with my 8-year-old child. When you reach the top, all you can hear is the sound of the wind and the voices of people flying; it's just a few minutes to enjoy the scenery. I didn't wear a hat because it might fly away, but I had no problem keeping my sunglasses on. They also check how much you want your feet to touch the water, so it's fine if you don't want to at all, or if you just want your toes or up to your backside. The staff also communicate well with gestures and broken Japanese, so there's no problem even if you don't speak Japanese. After it was over, it's a 3-minute walk to Whole Foods.
想像以上の楽しさでした。8歳の子供と体験しました。一番上まで上がると風の音と一緒に飛んでいる人の声しか聞こえない、とにかく景色を楽しむ数分間です。帽子は飛びそうだったので被りませんでしたが、サングラスは着けたままでも問題なかったです。途中で足を着水する程度も聞いてくれるので、なしでも良いし、足先だけかおしりまでなのか伝えれば大丈夫。お兄さんたちも英語が分からなくてもカタコトの日本語とジェスチャーで対応してくれるので問題ないです。
終わったあとホールフーズまで歩いて3分です。

Since there were only two groups, we were able to return to the departure point in about 40 minutes. The guide was friendly and engaging, which made the experience enjoyable, and I'm glad I participated! I had read in reviews that the boat could be very rocky, so I brought motion sickness medication from Japan. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the ride without feeling seasick, even with the intense rocking of the boat!
2組だけだったので、40分くらいで出発場所に戻ってくることができました。ガイドさんもフレンドリーに話しかけてくれて楽しませてくれて、参加してよかったです!ボートがすごく揺れると口コミで見たので酔い止めを日本から持っていきました。そのおかげで、ものすごい船の揺れにも全く酔わず楽しむことができました!
The boat sways enough that your rear end lifts, so I think those who are prone to motion sickness will need some anti-nausea medication.

We chartered a boat for our group of 11 across three generations. From the moment we made the reservation, the email communication was very polite and reassuring. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we were able to see a lot of whales, a large pod of dolphins, sea turtles, and fish, which made us very satisfied. The sight of the large pod of dolphins was particularly incredible and moving. The guide and driver, as well as the boat captain, were kind and made every effort to find dolphins for us. Although the kids couldn't snorkel, it seems the captain entertained them well. The snacks with bags were a big hit with both adults and children, and everyone plans to take them to school and work after returning home. Thank you very much!

I participated in whale watching for the first time!
While cruising, I was able to enjoy some drinks and the scenery was amazing! ✨✨
I saw the whales spouting water and their tails from a bit of a distance!!
I thought I would be able to see them a little closer, but since they are wild animals, I understand that it's unpredictable. Still, the atmosphere was great and I had a lot of fun!!
The restrooms on the boat aren't usually very clean and can be hard to access, but this boat had clean restrooms, so I felt comfortable even while drinking!
I would love to participate again someday!!
