All Reviews for Catering Service Add-on

On the day, it was cloudy and it rained on the way back. At the sandbar, the captain brought boards and inflatable canoes, allowing us to play as much as we wanted, creating a very private atmosphere. There were also plenty of snacks and drinks prepared for us. When we got tired of playing, the captain took us on a cruise to see rays and sea turtles, providing excellent service. In the rain, the other groups around us looked cold, wrapped in beach towels, but the captain lent us sweatshirts, so we could comfortably play in the water without worry. On the way back, they also lent us umbrellas and raincoats. Since it was such a great experience, I hope for sunny weather next time and will definitely try again.

当日は曇りで帰りに雨が降りました。サンドバーでは、キャプテンがボードや浮き輪カヌーなどを持ってきてくれて、遊び放題でプライベート感満載でした。スナックやドリンクもたくさん準備してくれています。遊び飽きたらクルージングでエイやウミガメを見に連れて行ってくれたりと、サービス満点でした。雨の中、周りの集団の方達はバスタオルにくるまり寒そうでしたが、キャプテンがスエットを貸してくれるので終始水の中でも平気で思う存分遊べました。帰りは傘とレインコートも貸してくれました。せっかくなので、次回晴れることを祈ってまたチャレンジします。

Kevin and Sabrina took really good care of us. The boat was clean, explanations/safety rules were well covered, and everything was catered to how we wanted our ride to go! Whale watching together with our friends was such a precious experience and we would recommend it for everyone. They even gave us local recommendations for restaurants and more whale watching locations. We highly recommend it! (And by we, I mean party of 9 girls to celebrate our bride to be!)

We were able to fully enjoy the ocean activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding at our leisure. During snorkeling with the guide, we had a relaxed and private time, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times. My grandmother didn't go into the water, but she was happy to relax on the boat. Our whole family was very satisfied, and choosing a private cruise was definitely the right decision.

シュノーケル、カヌー、SUPなど自由に使用でき海の遊びを満喫できました。ガイドさんとのシュノーケルでは、ゆったりとプライベートな時間を過ごせ、ウミガメに何度も出会えました。祖母は海に入りませんでしたが、ボートでリラックスして過ごせて喜んでいました。家族みんな大満足で、貸切クルーズを選んで正解でした。

I rode on a lounge boat, and the spirit of hospitality was present from the captain and the Japanese guide. I can't speak for other boats, but I have fond memories of how kind they were to me.

ラウンジボートに乗りましたが、おもてなし精神がキャプテンや日本人ガイドの方もあります。他の船の場合は分かりません。とても親切にしていただけた良い思い出です。

Amazing private experience and would recommend to anyone! Our captain was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

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!

Best day! We had a group of 117 developmentally disabled adults and staff- we had an amazing time. The staff was attentive, the views spectacular!

Jason and Sabrina were awesome, they made our time scattering the ashes of our loved one very peaceful and respectful

We were blessed with beautiful weather and got to see the stunning sea. The private boat was a free space where we could enjoy music and meals. The captain was cheerful and kind, entertaining us throughout the trip. We made memories for a lifetime! Thank you!

晴天に恵まれ、美しい海を見ることができた。
プライベートの船は音楽をかけたり、食事をしたりすべてが自由な空間。
キャプテンは明るく優しい方で私たちを楽しませてくれました。
一生の思い出ができました！ありがとう！

Booked this cruise to scatter some ashes of loved ones. The crew was amazing and so kind. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Captain Austin and Kevin did a wonderful job helping us scatter our parents ashes. The day was perfect. Wonderful sunset. Great views. And Austin even hand picked the flowers that we scattered over the ashes. It made a somber activity a wonderful memory. Thank you!
The Bradshaw family

Loved the boat and crew. They were a real class act and I highly recommend them for their kindness, thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

We had a very special sunset cruise on the evening of November 3rd onboard the Makani Catamaran! I think we ended up with 22 in our Navy reunion group and it was the last of four events we had this weekend. Our crew was very professional and friendly. It was a smooth cruise from start to finish. The guys are great bartenders and my Mai Tai was outstanding! The views of Honolulu, Diamond Head and the sunset were amazing! I would strongly recommend this private cruise to any group of 20 to 49 people. Thanks Captain C for an amazing experience!

We had the BEST time on our Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Dolphin & Snorkel Private Charter on October 10th!! We did the 3-hour private charter. We had a group of 25, all family, visiting Oahu for our wedding celebration and had booked this cruise for a little pre-wedding fun. Well, the cruise was beyond our expectations. We had the best time cruising around and snorkeling. We snorkeled and saw dolphins, sea turtles, and got to feed the fish. We had several kids under age 5 and they were able to accommodate us all. The crew was absolutely amazing. They took care of everyone’s needs, made us feel special, and created a super fun environment, all the while making sure we were safe. The food and drinks were also amazing!! Mine and my husband’s families cannot stop raving about the cruise and how amazing it was. It was also suitable for all ages, which was great, as we had six kids under 5. Also, booking this cruise through VELTRA was a breeze. They were so helpful and answered all my questions. Stop your searching and book this cruise, you will not regret it. I could not recommend this enough!! Thank you to the team for making this day so special for us and our family!!

We participated in a tour with six people, including a 2-year-old child and an 87-year-old grandmother. The guide, who spoke Japanese, and the captain were friendly, and since it was a private tour, they let us decide on the timing for snorkeling and paddleboarding based on our pace. Unfortunately, it was after a full moon, and the tide was high, but the adults could enjoy the water at waist height while the child had fun with a float and life jacket.

The 87-year-old grandmother found the sea water cold, so I requested a wetsuit the day before, and they had it ready for her on the day of the tour, which was a great help! They also prepared floats and paddleboards for us, allowing us to play longer than we would have on a shared boat. We took many photos, and they taught us paddleboarding carefully, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

For snorkeling, the captain pulled the child on a boat, and the guide supported those who couldn't swim, so everyone had fun. We saw many sea turtles and fish, which was amazing. The snorkeling was kept short for the child and grandmother, allowing us to enjoy the sea longer, which is a unique advantage of a private tour.

After coming out of the water, it was cold, but they provided warm tea, and for the children who wanted to keep playing, they pulled them on the back of the boat, making it a perfect tour for families with small children and elderly members. They also prepared plenty of snacks and juice, and the child was thrilled with the apples.

The tour flew by, and we chatted a lot with the guide, creating wonderful memories for the whole family. The spam rice balls were also fantastic. The weather and tide are unpredictable, but it was a wonderful tour overall!

I recommend bringing a light jacket because the bus air conditioning is strong, and since it gets cold after being in the sea, it's a good idea to change clothes in the restroom before getting on the bus.

2歳の子供と87歳のおばあちゃんをつれて6人でツアーに参加しました。
日本語の話せるガイドさんとキャプテンもフレンドリーで貸し切りツアーということでこちらのペースに合わせてシュノーケルとsupなどで遊ぶ時間を相談して決めさせてくれました。
あいにく満月の後で潮が満ちていましたが大人は腰ぐらいの高さで子供は浮き輪とライフジャケットで楽しめました。
87歳のおばあちゃんは海の水が冷たかったので前日にウェットスーツのリクエストを送ったところ当日用意してくださり助かりました！
浮き輪やsupも私達用に用意してもらえて乗合いボートよりも長く遊ぶことができました！
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてsupも丁寧に教えてもらえたので本当に楽しかったです。
またシュノーケルは子供はボートに乗せてキャプテンが引っ張っていってくれ、泳げない人はガイドさんがサポートしてくれて全員で楽しめてウミガメもたくさん見れて魚も見れたので感動でした。
子どもやおばあちゃんのペースでシュノーケルは短めにしてもらえて長く海で遊べたのも貸し切りツアーならではでした。
海から上がったら寒かったのですが温かいお茶を用意してもらえたり、まだ遊びたい子どもはボートの後ろに乗せて引っ張ってくれたりといたせり尽せりで小さな子ども連れ、高齢者連れには本当におすすめのツアーでした。スナックもジュースもたくさん用意してもらえて子どもはりんごに大喜びでした。
あっという間のツアーでガイドさんともたくさんおしゃべりして家族みんなの素敵な思い出になりました。
スパムおにぎりも最高でした。
天気と潮の満ち引きは運なのでどうすることもできませんがそれを含めて素敵なツアーでした！

バスの冷房が強いので羽織を持ってくことと、帰りは海で冷えて寒いのでバスに乗る前にトイレ等で服を着替えて乗ることをお勧めします！

When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.

Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.

Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.

When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!

The crew was amazing and so accommodating. The entire experience was just perfect and exactly what I hoped it would be. I would recommend this to anyone.

The two-hour private rental was amazing, with a fantastic view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean! Swimming while anchored was also very refreshing! I highly recommend it for families and friends!

２時間貸切ですが沖から眺めるワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！
停泊しての海水浴も気持ち良い！
家族や友達の利用はお勧めです！

We chartered a boat for a family trip with three generations, totaling nine people. We booked the two-hour course, which turned out to be just the right amount of time to relax and enjoy meals on board. However, if you plan to have a longer meal on the boat, a longer course might be better.

We brought takeout food and drinks with us, but there were plenty of utensils provided, and it was helpful that cold drinking water was available. There was also a cooler on board, so we could keep our drinks and fruits chilled. There were two restrooms available, and we were able to bring a stroller on board as well. Although we didn't use it, there was also a microwave (or oven?!) available.

From the boat, you can see Waikiki and Diamond Head. The time spent lying outside while enjoying the panoramic view was absolutely the best!

The boat arrived at the dock about 15 minutes before the departure time. Since there isn't a waiting area like a terminal near the dock, it might be better not to arrive too early.

親子3世代9名の家族旅行でチャーターしました。
2時間コースで申し込みましたが、船上でのんびりしたり食事をすることができ、丁度良い時間でした。
ただ、船上での食事を長めにとる場合は、もう少し長いコースの方がよいかもしれません。
テイクアウトした食事や飲み物を持参して乗り込みましたが、カトラリー類は十分用意されていましたし、冷たい飲料水の提供もあり助かりました。
クーラーボックスも設置されているので、飲み物やフルーツなどは冷やしておくこともできます。
トイレは2か所ありました。
ベビーカーも積み込むことができました。
使用してはいませんが、電子レンジ(オーブン?!)もありました。

船上からはワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができます。
特に屋外で寝転がりながらパノラマビューを見ながら過ごす時間は最高でした!

船は出発時刻の15分くらい前に桟橋にやってきました。
桟橋付近にはターミナルのような待つ場所がないので、あまり早めに行かない方がいいかもしれません。

Perfect service, would totally recommend. They had different options for the rides so that was really
Sweet.

We got the private boat and did the sandbar tour & I can’t recommend this enough! We played at the sandbar, toured the waters and got to see turtles & manta rays! Captain Jeff was helpful, fun & informative, the snacks were tasty and the boat was clean and in great condition. Do this tour!! You won’t regret it! It was the highlight of our trip and the best excursion I have ever done in Hawaii! My husband enjoyed it so much he wanted to do it again but we couldn’t book during the rest of our stay because they were sold out!.

This time, we chose the heavenly sea for the end of our trip. Since we wanted a private experience, we opted for the lounge port. It was pure bliss to enjoy such an amazing view with just our family, without worrying about other people. The captain was handsome, and it seems my daughters had a great time for a different reason. I definitely want to go for a private experience again next time.

今回は旅の最後に天国の海を選びました。どうせなら貸し切りと思い今回ラウンジポートを選びました。ゆっくり人を気にせずあんな最高の景色を家族だけで楽しめて幸せの絶頂でした。キャプテンがイケメンで娘達は興奮して違う意味で楽しかったみたいです。又次も貸し切りで行きたいと思います。

Our group had an amazing time with this crew on their beautiful catamaran. we travelled out to a great snorkeling spot and everyone in the group saw turtles, eels and so many fish. the crew was so kind and helpful, setting everything up for us to relax and enjoy the outing. Thank you!

We encountered various fish and a large sea turtle. My mother, who is in her 90s, also challenged herself to snorkel. The guide pulled her along with a float, so she could comfortably enjoy the underwater view, and she was very happy. Perhaps because it wasn't an early morning plan, the water was a bit murky, but it was great to enjoy ourselves without any worries on a comfortable lounge boat, just our family.

いろいろなおさかなや、大きなウミガメに遭えました。
９０代の母もシュノーケルにチャレンジ、ガイドさんが浮き輪を引っ張ってくださったので、安心して海の中を眺めることができ、母も喜んでいました。
早朝のプランではなかったためか、水が少し濁っていましたが、快適なラウンジボートで、家族だけで気兼ねなく楽しめたのが良かったです。

We boarded with 12 people. The yacht was larger and more beautiful than I expected, and we were able to spend a blissful time (^○^) Masa, who speaks Japanese, and the kind captain Austin prepared plenty of delicious appetizers for us, and I definitely want to use this service again! It was my first time seeing fireworks up so close!!!! Lying on the net at the front of the yacht while feeling the wind was just the best!!!! I already want to go again soon (^○^)

12人で乗船しました。
思っていたより大きくて綺麗なヨットで、至福の時を過ごすことができました(^○^)
日本語の出来るマサさん、優しい船長オースティン、美味しい前菜をたっぷり用意していただき、是非是非また利用させていただきたいです！
花火、あんなに間近で見たの初めててす！！！！
ヨットの前方のネットの上で寝転びながら風を感じるのがもう最高！！！！
またすぐ乗りたくなっちゃいます(^○^)

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

I used a private cruiser.

Captain Masaki was friendly, kind to the children, and very reliable.

I had checked the tide chart in advance, but since it was negative (I thought, maybe the sandbar would be out if we were lucky?), I didn't have high expectations. However, the sandbar appeared beautifully, and everyone was thrilled! It was cold, so I hesitated to get in the water at first, but the captain helped by saying, "I have wetsuits!" which was a great relief. We enjoyed paddleboarding and playing with water guns...

After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, and when the captain said, "Look, there are sea turtles down here," I looked where he pointed and saw a sea turtle. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The children got to ride on a Zayak, which has a transparent bottom for observing underwater, and the captain pulled them along, so our whole family was able to observe the ocean and see the sea turtles, spending a wonderful time together.

It seems not only the adults but also the children had a great time, as they said, "I want to go to the heavenly sea again!"

Thank you for the wonderful time.

I also enjoyed chatting with driver Tim.

プライベートクルーザーを利用させて頂きました。

キャプテンのMASAKIさんも気さくで子供にも優しくて頼もしい方でした。

潮位表を事前に見ていましたが、マイナスになっていたから（運が良ければサンドバーが出てるかも？）とそれほど期待せずに行きましたが、しっかりとサンドバーが現れており、皆大喜び！
寒かったので初めは水に入るのを躊躇していたらキャプテンが「ウエットスーツあるよー」と貸してくれたからかなり助かりました。supしたり水鉄砲で遊んだり…
ひとしきり遊んだ後にシュノーケルをしましたが「ここ、ウミガメいるよー下ー」ってキャプテンの言う先を見るとウミガメがいて、たくさんのウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。
子供はZAYAKというソリの底面が透明になっていて水の中が観察できるものに乗せてもらってキャプテンがずっと引っ張ってくれたので、家族全員でそれぞれが海の中を観察してウミガメを見られて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
大人だけでなく、子供もすごく楽しかったみたいで「また天国の海に行きたーい！」と言っています。

素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

運転手ティムのおしゃべりも楽しかったです。

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした！
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高！パーティーも最高！クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました！

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます！ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです！

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました！
スタッフさん1名は少し日本語を話してくれます❤︎

As expected from a private tour, it seems they were able to keep the equipment for us at the beginning, allowing us to play to our heart's content. I thought there wouldn't be a return transfer, but it was great that they took us back to the hotel. The water level was about waist-high, which is natural and unavoidable, but I would love to go again.

さすがプライベートツアー、遊具も最初にキープさせていただいたそうで思いっきり遊べたそうです。
帰りの送迎がついていないと思っていたのですが、ちゃんとホテルに送って頂けて助かりました。
水位が腰ぐらいまであったのでそれは自然なので仕方がないですが、また行きたいです。

It was an order with an English guide only, but the captain was very kind and friendly, paying attention to even the small details. My son got stung by a jellyfish, but they handled it well at that time. Thank you very much.

英語ガイドのみでのオーダーでしたがキャプテンがとても親切かつフレンドリーで細いことにも気を遣っていただきました。
息子がクラゲに刺されてしまったのですがその際もしっかり対応していただきました。ありがとうございます
