We went snorkeling and saw a lot of turtles above the water. Water wasnt clear enough to see anything with snorkeling gear so they offered free open bar, free sandwiches and cookie.

Most relaxing sail into a magnificent sunset. Surrounded by other vessels in the bay, we had perfect seat for the fireworks. With a slight glow in the sky, and a breeze rustling through our hair the sail was the perfect Friday night date. The specialty drink in the shaker is SO good and even big enough to share! Now I have a special cute little momento of that Serene night holding my one and only's hand while we sail on the darkening sea. Would absolutely do again.

It was an incredibly fun time for just $39.
As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht accelerated further, the passengers, feeling a bit tipsy from the splashes of water, were at their peak excitement, cheering and laughing. Regardless of nationality or group, everyone was joyfully acting like children.
By the time we returned to the original beach, the sunset was coloring the western sky, and I couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful memories of my trip to Hawaii.
たった39$という設定が信じられないくらい楽しいひと時でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎてヨットがさらに加速すると、上がる波しぶきを浴びてほろ酔い気分の乗客もキャーキャーと最高潮。国籍もグループも関係なくみんな子供のようにはしゃいでいました。
もとのビーチに帰る頃には夕陽が西の空を染めて、思わずしんみりと楽しかったハワイ旅行を思い返していました。

It was so much fun. As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht picked up speed, the passengers, slightly tipsy from Mai Tais, splashed water and squealed with delight, laughing together beyond groups and nationalities—truly a scene fitting for a heavenly island.
By the time we returned to the beach, the sun was painting the western sky, and I reflected on the enjoyable trip to Hawaii. I think the emotions will be even more profound if I board on the last day.
とにかく楽しいです。ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎヨットも速度を増すと、マイタイでほろ酔い気分の乗客が水しぶきを浴びてキャーキャーと騒ぎ、グループや国籍を超えてみんなで笑う姿はまさに天国の島にふさわしい光景でした。
ビーチに戻る頃には太陽が西の空を染め、楽しかったハワイ旅行が思い返されます。最終日に乗れば、旅情もひとしおかと思います。

I never thought I would have the same experience after reading stories about others who had issues with their arrangements. However, when I arrived on the day of my cruise, I was told that my reservation had not been made. The staff only spoke English, and it was a situation where someone who struggles with English would likely give up.
Although I'm not very good at English, I had planned my travel schedule based on the cruise reservation, so I desperately negotiated. I had to change my plans, but I was able to switch to a cruise two days later. In the end, it turned out well, but it's really disappointing to have such issues in a place where communication is difficult. The cruise itself was pleasant, and I'm glad I had the experience.
ここで、手配ができていなかったという体験談を読んでいてまさか自分が同じ経験をするとは思っていなかったけど、当日時間通りに行くと、なんと予約がされていない、と言われてしまいました。相手は現地の英語しか話さないスタッフで英語が苦手な人はまずあきらめてしまう状況でした。
私は英語が得意ではないけれど、その日にクルーズの予約をしているうえでの旅行のスケジュールを立てていたので、必死で交渉しました。
予定を変えないといけなかったけど、なんとか2日後のクルーズに変更することができました。結果オーライだったからよかったけど言葉が満足に通じないところでこういうことは本当に残念です。クルーズ自体は気持ちよく、体験してよかったと思えました。

Previously, I had an experience with Navatek's sunset cruise, and I didn't find it particularly special, so I hadn't planned to include a sunset cruise this time. However, I made a reservation because the price was low, it departed from Waikiki Beach, and it was my wife's first time in Hawaii.
The meeting point at the beach was just a few minutes from our hotel, which was convenient. Before 5:30 PM, I took off my sandals and boarded barefoot. I found a seat, and the crew started cheering as we set off. Occasionally splashed by the waves, we headed out while enjoying the view of the hotels lining the coastline, making our way past Diamond Head.
Along the way, we enjoyed drinks like Mai Tais and beer while feeling the wind all around us. The drinks were free and unlimited. I thought the Mai Tai might not have had alcohol in it because I didn't feel drunk at all, even after having several.
When the sails were raised and the engine was turned off, the only sounds were the waves cutting through the water and the wind. Standing on the side of the boat, I could see the passing scenery and feel the waves right at my feet, which was completely different from going on a large cruise ship and was truly enjoyable.
That day, there were many clouds, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. Perhaps because of that, we returned to the beach before sunset, which was a bit disappointing. We returned at 7 PM instead of the scheduled 7:30 PM. Since it was Friday, we stayed to watch the fireworks from Hilton, and it was nice that we secured a good spot, so an early return was actually beneficial.
The price was reasonable, and I would recommend it as long as the weather is good.
以前、ナバテックのサンセットクルーズの経験があり、そんなに特別な印象がなかったので今回当初の予定ではサンセットクルーズは入ってなかったのですが、料金が安いこと、ワイキキビーチから出ること、妻がハワイが初めてだったことで予約しました。
集合場所のビーチがホテルから数分だったので便利でした。
17時半前にサンダルを脱いで裸足で乗り込みました。適当に座り、船のクルーが雄たけびを上げ出発。
たまに波のしぶきを浴びながら沖に出て、海岸線に並ぶホテルを見ながらダイアモンドヘッドの更に先まで向かいます。
途中でマイタイやビールなどのドリンクを飲みながら風を全身に浴びて船は進みます。
ドリンクもフリーで飲み放題。マイタイはアルコールが入ってなかったんじゃないかと思うほど飲んでも全く酔わなかった。
帆を上げ、エンジンを切って風で進むと聞こえるのは波を切る音と風の音だけ。船のサイドに立ち、流れていく風景を見ながらすぐ足元に波を感じることができるのは大きなクルーズ船で行くのとは全く違い本当に気持ちが良い。
当日は雲が多く綺麗なサンセットは観れなかった。そのせいか日の入り前にビーチに戻ってしまった。そこが少し残念だった。予定の19時半ではなく19時だった。
金曜日だったのでヒルトンから上がる花火を見るために、そのまま宿泊していたリーフのビーチまで戻った。良い場所を確保できたので早目の帰港で良かったかな。
値段もリーズナブルだし、天気さえ良ければおススメです。

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

I was filled with excitement as I boarded the car for my first submarine experience.
I felt thrilled even while on the boat from Ala Moana Harbor to the offshore location. When we arrived at the point, the announcement mentioned that the previous submarine was surfacing. Bubbles formed, and in no time, the submarine appeared right in front of us. Finally, it was our turn to board. Due to the steep stairs, we slowly descended backwards into the submarine.
My first impression was that, despite being a premium experience, the windows inside the submarine were quite small. Following the crew's guidance, I took my seat. The dive began, and we descended to the seabed. Since I participated in the Japanese tour, I had no trouble with the language, and the explanations were easy to understand. However, depending on the direction we were seated, the season, and the ocean currents, visibility was not very clear, which was disappointing. Given my high expectations, I felt let down.
初めての潜水艦乗船に、わくわく気分で迎えの車に乗車。
アラモアナハーバーから沖合いまでの船の中でもわくわく。
ポイントに着くと船内放送にて前の潜水艦が浮上して来るとのこと。泡が立ちアッという間に潜水艦が目の前に浮上。
やっと順番が来て乗船開始。急な階段の為、後ろ向きにてゆっくり、ゆっくり下り船内に。
第一印象は、プレミアムの割には、船内の窓が狭い。船員さんの案内に従い着席。
潜水が開始され海底へ。
日本語ツアー参加なので言葉には困らず、案内も分かりやすかったが、座る方向、季節、海流にもよるのだろうか?あまり鮮明に見えず残念。
期待が大きかった分、がっかりしてしまった。

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

During my trip to Hawaii during Golden Week, I made a reservation in advance from Japan to participate. I boarded the boat directly from the beach at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Since I was the last to board, there were no seats available, and I ended up sitting at the back of the boat, but it was the best spot. I was lucky to be in a place where I could stretch my legs and take in the view. I highly recommend this for anyone going to Hawaii. You will get wet when boarding, so it's a good idea to wear beach sandals. It gets cold after sunset, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt is advisable.
