I had experienced a sunset cruise on a large cruise ship before, but this was my first yacht cruise. I was a bit anxious about getting seasick, but it turned out to be completely fine.
We gathered at the meeting point at 4:30 PM for the 5 PM departure. It seemed a bit early, as we were informed that the actual gathering time was 10 minutes before departure, so we waited on the beach for a little while. Check-in started around 4:45 PM. At the beach, I showed the voucher to the staff, boarded the yacht, and before that, a cheerful staff member took a picture of us with the yacht in the background. You can purchase this photo after disembarking (we didn’t buy it).
After boarding, we listened to some safety instructions (like not leaning over the edge and not standing in the captain's area), and then we set sail! Almost immediately, the captain got everyone excited by asking, "Who wants a Mai Tai?" and everyone responded enthusiastically. Of course, there are soft drinks available for those who prefer non-alcoholic options, so no worries there.
After about an hour of enjoying the gentle breeze and the beautiful scenery of Waikiki, we turned around just past Diamond Head. Since sunset was around 6:25 PM, we were able to enjoy it perfectly. Everyone was in high spirits, and we had a wonderful time together. The sunset was clear with no clouds, which was breathtaking! This was the highlight of my trip, and I would love to participate again.
As for the passengers, about 40% were American, 40% Japanese, and around 20% Korean. You only get wet when boarding and disembarking from the steps, so regular clothing is fine. It's best to wear shoes that are easy to take off. I think only those who are very sensitive to motion sickness might need medication.
Although my English is not very good, we managed just fine.
大型客船でサンセットクルーズはしたことがありましたが、初めてのヨットクルーズ。酔わないかなど不安でしたが、全く大丈夫でした。
5時出航のため、4時半に集合場所へ。まだ早かったのか、再度集合時間は10分前でと告げられ少しビーチで待つことに。4時45分くらいから受付開始。ビーチで受付のお姉さんにバウチャーを見せて、乗船、とその前に元気なお姉さんがヨットをバックに写真をパチリ。下船後、買うことができます。(私たちは買いませんでした)
乗船してから注意事項(乗り出さないとか船頭で立たないとか)を聞いて、いざ出航!すぐに船長が『マイタイ飲みたい人~♪』と盛り上げてくれて一同ハーイヽ( ・∀・)ノとマイタイ大会です。もちろんお酒が弱い人のためのソフトドリンクはありますのでご安心を。
出航してから1時間くらい風に吹かれながら、まったりとワイキキの風景を楽しみ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを少し過ぎた辺りでUターン。日没が6時25分くらいだったので、ちょうどいい具合にサンセットを楽しむことができました。みんな出来上がっているので、いい感じで盛り上がり楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。そして雲もないサンセット。感動でした!この旅一番の思い出です。また参加したいです。
その他…
乗客はアメリカ人が4割、日本人4割、韓国人2割くらいの割合でした。
濡れるのは乗船と下船のタラップのところだけなので、服装は普通でOKです。靴は脱ぎやすいものがよいでしょう。酔い止めもよっぽど揺れに弱い人以外はいらないかと。
英語はあまりできない私たちでしたが、なんとかなります。

This was my first experience in the ocean and snorkelling and sailing. The crew was excellent. Professional, knowledgeable, and very fun. Felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Saw multiple sea turtles, tropical fish, an octopus, sea urchins, and an amazing view of diamond head and Waikiki beach. You won't regret it.

What a wonderful experience!
The crew on the Holokai did an exceptional job of taking care of us.
We even got to meet the fabulous owner of the Holokai, Soo.
We would highly recommend watching the beautiful Waikiki sunset aboard the newest catamaran on Waikiki! It was also fun eating at the Shorebird. We had a table right near the beach. A few steps out from the restaurant and you can see the Hilton fireworks show!
All in all, a great experience!
A big Mahalo to Soo and the crew of the Holokai!

I've been diving all over the world for the past 15 years and this is by far one of my favorites. Beautiful water with greater than 50 feet of visibility. Saw seven sea turtles up close and it was just a spectacular experience. Make sure to rent the fins from the beach, worth it. Crew was knowledgeable, friendly and just all around awesome. So was the house special drink. This is a not to missed experience with a company that makes it unforgettable. They will absolutely see me again.

I made a reservation for the night of my arrival on Oahu! We had dinner at a different restaurant beforehand. The show was so lively, in a way that you don't see in Japan, and I had a great time!
Since it's located in the center of Waikiki, I was able to go shopping while still in a festive mood. At the end of the show, we could take photos, and I took one with Michael and Celine!
One disappointing thing was that since it was close to the hotel, I opted for no transportation, but the explanation for the voucher was unclear, and I had trouble purchasing the tickets. It said "meet on-site," so I waited in front of the ticket counter, but when the time came, I ended up buying them myself. There were many Japanese people who seemed to be guides, but there was no announcement or anything. I thought there would be someone there since it said to gather, but that wasn't the case. It might be an issue of comprehension, but I wish it had been explained more clearly.
I arrived early and waited, but ended up in the back row, so I feel like there's no point in reserving through Veltra next time. The audience was about two-thirds full.
In response to the above comments, I will give the lowest rating due to the standard response. The show itself is wonderful, so I recommend it to those who are unsure!
オアフ島到着日の夜に予約!食事は別のレストランで食べてから。ショーは日本にはないかんじの盛り上がり方で、とっても楽しかったです!
ワイキキの中心部にあるため盛り上がった気分のままショッピングに行けます。ショーの最後には写真撮影もでき、マイコーとセリーヌと撮りました!
ひとつ残念だったのは、ホテルから近かったため送迎なしにしたところ、バウチャーの説明が分かりづらくチケット購入に手間取りました。
[現地集合]とあり窓口前でずっと待っていましたが時間になってしまい、自分で買いました。ガイドらしき日本人もたくさんいましたが呼びかけも何もありませんでした。集合というからには誰かいるものだと思ったのですが違ったのですね。読解力の問題かもしれませんがもっと分かりやすく記載して頂きたかったです。
せっかく早く着いて待っていたのに結局後ろの席になったため、次はベルトラで予約する意味はないかなというかんじです。客入りは3分の2くらいでした。
以上のコメントに対し、定型文での返答の為、最低評価にさせて頂きます。
ショー自体は素晴らしいものですので迷ってる方にはオススメですよ。

It was cloudy, but the cruise was amazing. I got a little too carried away with the free drinks on board and ended up drinking too much. I thought there were no restrooms, but when I asked the crew, they told me there were, which was a relief.
Now that I know there are restrooms, I will definitely use the service again in March.
曇りですが・・・クルーズは最高でしたが、船上でのフリードリンクに気を良くしてしまい飲み過ぎてしまいました。
トイレがないと思い込み、船員に聞くとあるとの事で助かりました。

The boarding area was hard to find, which made me a bit anxious. There were few Japanese people around, allowing me to really enjoy the travel atmosphere. I thought two hours would be short, but it felt like I had plenty of time on the boat. The all-you-can-drink option added to the sense of value. The boat was small, so it was fun to see the ocean up close.
乗り場がわかりにくく不安でした。
日本人が少なく、旅行気分を味わえます。
2時間は短いのかと思いきや、たっぷりと船に乗った感じがしました。
飲み放題もついておりお得感がありました。

We did some other snorkelling while in Hawaii and were quite disappointed. We were so glad we booked this trip to do some more. We were taken out to some deeper water and as soon as we jumped off the boat we saw multiple turtles! It was amazing. I have never seen turtles this big and so many in one spot. We spent about an hour snorkelling and then went on a sail out in the sun. The boat is quite spacious and room for groups to keep to themselves or sit with others. The staff were all very helpful and fun to have a chat to. I would definitely go out with these guys again if we return to Hawaii.

I participated after dinner. You take off your shoes and go barefoot. After departure, the DJ played upbeat music, making it feel like a club on the boat. I was able to request various cocktails from the bartender. It was great that we stopped at the best spot to enjoy the fireworks. We were the only Japanese people there, but even though I couldn't understand English, everyone was friendly and it became a fun memory. There is a restroom, but it's small and not very convenient, so I think it's better to take care of that before boarding.
夕食後に参加しました。靴を脱いで裸足で乗ります。出港後はDJがノリのイイ音楽をかけてくれ、船上のクラブみたいでした。カクテルもバーテンダーに色々リクエストできました。花火をベストスポットが見られる場所に止まって観賞できてよかったです。日本人は私たちだけでしたが、英語が分からなくてもみんなワキアイアイと話しかけてきてくれて楽しい思い出になりました。トイレはありますが、小さくて使いづらいので乗る前に済ませてきた方がいいと思います。

We booked for 10 people, but there were no other passengers, so it was a private charter. We enjoyed the leisurely flow of time, the bright blue sky, and the emerald sea while sipping cocktails. Additionally, we were thrilled to see a whale spouting about 200 meters away! The cruiser staff were very friendly, but one small disappointment was that the meeting place was different. It was supposed to be at the pier, but when we arrived on time, we found the reception area at the edge of the hotel building.

I arrived in Hawaii and the next day experienced flying a plane. The following day, we chartered a car to explore from land, and while joking with my family about sightseeing from the sky and land, we made a reservation for the sea at midnight, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out the reservation was successful. We arrived at the meeting point during the day and boarded the boat. I had prepared for getting completely soaked from the splashes of the waves, but there were no waves at all, just a calm sea, and we saw the tail of a whale a couple of times. The view of Waikiki from the sea is special and worth experiencing. If I had to complain, it would be that the operator took time to line up each group for photos before boarding the boat for their business purposes. The goal was to sell the developed photos when disembarking after the cruise, but I thought they should limit that to only those who wanted it. I didn't like their selfishness and had no intention of buying the photos when getting off.
ハワイに到着し、次の日に飛行機操縦体験をし、その次の日は車をチャーターし陸から、そして家族と冗談で空と陸から観光的たので次は海かという話をしながら夜中予約を入れたが朝起きてみたら予約成功。昼間集合場所に着いて船に乗る。波のしぶきで全身濡れるという体験談を見たのでその覚悟で服を用意し乗り込んだが波が全くなく穏やかな海、鯨の尻尾も二回くらい見えた。海から見るワイキキの景色は特別で体験する価値あり。不満を言えば催行者側が商売のために船に乗る前グループ毎に並ばせて写真撮るのに時間かかったこと。クルーズが終わって降りる際に現像した写真を売るのが目的だがそんなもの希望する人だけに絞ればいいのにと思った。その彼らの自分勝手が気にいらず降りる時その写真を買う気なんかしなかった。
