Only two groups (a total of four people) participated, so we had the hammocks to ourselves, which felt like a great deal. It might be due to winter, but the weather wasn't the best, and it was a bit chilly while sailing. However, the water wasn't as cold as I expected, and the sea was very clear, making snorkeling enjoyable. I knew from reviews that fins weren't provided, so I brought my own. Not only fins, but we were also allowed to bring our own food and drinks.
It seemed they scattered some bait before snorkeling, as there were plenty of fish. While there weren't many colorful fish, there were a lot of them, and I was really impressed when I first entered the water. Additionally, there were many sea turtles. They weren't at all wary when I approached, and I was able to swim alongside them for a little while.
Seeing Waikiki from offshore and watching the catamaran raise and lower its sails made for a great experience.
参加は二組(計4名)だけで、ハンモックの上を半分ずつ、貸切状態で、お得感がありました。
冬なので仕方ないかもしれませんが、お天気がいま一つで、セーリング中は少し寒かったです。
でも、思ったより水は冷たくなく、海の透明度も高く、シュノーケリングは楽しめました。体験談からフィンの貸し出しがないのがわかっていたので、自分でフィンを持参しました。フィンだけでなく、食べ物や飲み物も持ち込みOKでした。
シュノーケリング前に餌を撒いてくれたようで、魚がたくさんいました。カラフルな魚はいなかったのですが、とにかくいっぱいいて、初めに海に入った時は感動でした。
そして、海亀もたくさんいました。近寄ってもちっとも警戒せず、少しだけ一緒に泳げました。
ワイキキ沖からワイキキを見れて、カタマランの帆を張ったりしまったりも見れたので、良い体験ができました。

We participated as a couple on the recommendation of our son and his wife, who joined us two days ago. Although I couldn't catch the English explanations very well, we had a great time following these points that I heard from them:
- Sit inside the red line on the net during departure and arrival.
- Once we are out at sea, try to avoid going on the net as much as possible.
- Do not touch the ropes.
- The first drink is recommended to be the original cocktail, but there is also unlimited beer, champagne, and wine available.
2日前に参加した息子夫婦から勧められ、夫婦で参加しました。説明の英語はうまく聞き取れませんでしたが、息子夫婦から伝え聞いた以下の点を守って、大いに楽しみました。
出港時と帰港時は、ネットの上、赤線の内側に座ること、
沖に出たらネットの上にはできるだけ行かないこと、
ロープ類には触らないこと、
最初の一杯はオリジナルカクテルをお勧めするが、他にビールもシャンパンもワインも飲み放題なこと。

The view of Waikiki from the sea was truly exceptional. This time, there were no other Japanese participants, and the crew's explanations were in lively local English, so I felt that having a certain level of English understanding would make it more enjoyable. Unlimited champagne, the best views, and a fun time with happy fellow passengers—it's really a great deal for this price.
海から振り返って見るワイキキの景色は、また格別でした。今回は日本人の参加者が他にいなく、クルーの説明もノリのいいローカルイングリッシュなので、ある程度の英語が分かった方が安心して楽しめるかな、とは感じました。飲み放題のシャンパン、最高の景色、ハッピーな乗客のみなさんとの楽しい時間、この価格で楽しめるなんて、ほんとうにお得です。

It was an easy, inexpensive, and refreshing sailing experience. Running across the sea towards the sunset felt great, and the view of Honolulu in the evening from the ocean was beautiful. It seems that we went quite far out compared to other yachts.
The captain and staff's explanations are in English, but they don't seem to say much, so I think it's fine even for those who are not good at English. The participants were about 60% Westerners and 40% Japanese, including couples, families, and groups. Since alcoholic drinks were free, it got lively towards the end, mainly among the Westerners.
The check-in office is located near the Sheraton Hotel's beach foot wash area, close to the landing spot for the Mai Tai Catamaran. It's a small yacht, but there is a small, narrow toilet located at the front of the left hull. It shakes a bit, so it's not very convenient to use.
手軽で、安くて、爽快なセーリングでした。
夕日に向かって海原を走るのは大変気持ちが良く、沖から見る夕方のホノルルの街もきれいでした。他のヨットにくらべかなり沖に出るようです。
船長・スタッフの説明は英語ですが、大したことは言っていない模様ですでの、英語の苦手な方のでも大丈夫かと思います。
参加者は西洋人6割、日本人4割ぐらいで、カップル、ファミリー、グループいろいろでした。アルコール類もフリードリンクだったので、最後の方は西洋人中心に盛り上がっていました。
チェックイン事務所はシェラトンホテルのビーチ足洗い場近くにあり、マイタイ・カタマラン号の上陸場所近くです。
ちっちゃいヨットですが、左胴体内の前方下に小さく狭いトイレがあります。揺れますのであまり使い勝手は良くないです。

First, you board a boat that takes you to the submarine anchored offshore. It sways quite a bit, and there are seats on the first and second floors. After we started moving, the staff provided guidance in English for the second floor. Since it was crowded, we moved to the second floor, which was both thrilling and a bit scary because of the intense swaying. When we finally reached the second floor, I felt a sense of joy.
When transferring to the submarine, it wasn't scary at all, and once on board, the swaying wasn't too bad, allowing us to enjoy observing the underwater scenery. However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it's definitely advisable to take medication.
I was expecting announcements in Japanese, but they were only in English and Chinese. There were headphones in front of the seats, and Japanese could be heard on channel 4. When I saw the pre-boarding instructions, it mentioned a Japanese explanation, but I ended up feeling disappointed.
まず最初に、沖に停泊している潜水艦まで行く船に乗せられるます。それがかなりの揺れで、一階席と二階席が有るのですが、二階席は走りだしてから係りの人が英語で案内します。
私たちは混んでいたので二階に移りましたが、それが怖いの怖くないの・・・ 揺れ方が半端じゃないからスリルがあって二階にたどり着いた時は嬉しかったです。
潜水艦に乗り移るときは怖くないし、乗ってしまうと揺れも
そんなでもなく楽しく海の中を観察できました。
ただ、酔う人は薬は必ず飲んだ方が良いです。
館内の案内は日本語を期待したのに、英語と中国語のみ。
座席の前にヘッドホンがあり日本語は4チャンネルで聞けました。事前説明を見たときに日本語の説明と書いてありましたが

I went during the New Year. It was New Year's Day. It was the first tour of the morning. On the way, we were able to see whales. The boat circled around the area where the whales were, and I was excited as we kept following the whales. I was thrilled because I had hoped for whale watching rather than a submarine tour. The submarine was also fun with sharks, turtles, and colorful fish.

The scenery was obviously beautiful and the crew seemed very knowledgable and capable. However, I have not been on a cruise like this before and conduct of other passengers and comments by crew about drinking and such were inappropriate in the presence of children. The enviroment was definitely not a family one. I was disappointed because my children did not enjoy it like I thought they would because they felt uncomfortable.

We also saw dolphins and several large fish. If you want to see turtles, this is the snorkel for you... If you're looking for a close-up of tropical fish - go to a different site. Cruise is very comfortable and a great view of the Waikiki beach front.

Also, since you get quite wet from the sea spray, I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet. If you're worried about getting wet, I don't think you'll enjoy it as much.

Positive Points
- The shuttle bus to the hotel is a dedicated trolley, which is easy to understand.
- You take a boat to reach the submarine, and the scenery is nice just offshore.
- Since it's just offshore, it's less likely to cause seasickness.
- It's a submarine, after all!!!
- You might see quite a bit.
- You can understand the current state of Hawaii's oceans and the various efforts being made to protect the sea.
Negative Points
- The fish visibility is quite low; if you expect to see fish up close to the windows, you might be disappointed. However, it is a very valuable experience to see the state of fish in nature and how they exist. You can feel the gap between the ocean on TV and the actual reality. Also, it depends on luck; I was able to see a sea turtle and a ray, but it seems there are times when you can see sharks as well. You might think that turtles are like Gamera in the ocean.
- There is a small invitation on the way back, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Even though the fish visibility is low, they do go around the wrecks, and you can actually see a lot of fish, so it's not really a bad point. Compared to the photos in the pamphlet, it might be a bit lacking... but this applies to everything.
They take photos at the entrance, but they sell them for $40 on the way back. Well, that's pretty common, right? However, for couples or as a memento of a honeymoon, the quality is good, so it's worth it. We bought one. Oh, and you might hear the name of a well-known airplane, too? (Sorry if I'm mistaken).
良かった点
・ホテルへの送迎バスが専用トロッコで、わかり易い。
・潜水艦に乗るまで、船で行くのですがちょっとした
沖合で景色が良い事。
・ちょっとした沖合なので船酔いしにくい。
・とにかく潜水艦!!!。
・結構見れるかな?。
・今のハワイの海の実態や、海を守るために色々な努力
がなされているという事実がわかります。
悪かった点
・とにかく魚影は薄いです、窓の近くで魚を見れると
思って行くとがっかりするかもしれなせん。
ただ、自然における魚の状態や有り様が見れるので、
とても貴重な体験だと思います。
テレビの中の海と実際の現実とのギャップを肌で
感じる事ができるでしょう。
またその時の運もあるでしょう、自分はウミガメと
エイをみれましたが、サメが見れる時もあるよう
ですね。
亀なんて、海の中のガメラってこんな感じなんだ
ろうなって思うこと請け合いです。
・帰りにちょっとした招待がありますがお勧めしません。
魚影が薄いとは言っても、ちゃんと沈没船などの周りを回っってくれて実際は多くの魚を見ることができるので、あまり悪い点とはいえないですね^^;。
パンフの写真とかと比べるとちょっと・・・というところでしょうか。まあこれは全てに当てはまるでしょう。
入り口で写真を撮ってくれるのですが、帰りに40ドルでうってくれます。まあよくある事ですよね。ただカップルや新婚旅行の記念としては、出来も良いのでいいのでは?自分たちは買って来ました。

Booked this sailing sunset cruise for myself and my beautiful wife. We have done sailing sunset cruises before in Mexico so knew what to expect and initial indications were this would be pretty standard fare for what we've experienced. However, the desire was to be able to appreciate a couple hours sailing while appreciating a beautiful sunset. We weren't looking for anything grandiose. But, we were impressed by the all male staff not being over-the-top on trying to "cheese" up the cruise but were good to let the experience of the sunset be the excitement for the guests. However, about 40 minutes into the cruise the captain asked loudly if we wanted to see dolphins. He immediately swung the boat toward a school of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and we were fortunate to spend the next 10-15 minutes sailing along with them playing all around the boat including swimming and playing in the wake at the bow of the boat. There was a school of 50+ dolphins all around us. What an amazing exper

The sunset was very beautiful, along with the night view of Waikiki and the fireworks.
It was great to interact with many people who were not Japanese (about 1 Japanese to 4 non-Japanese). It was refreshing since Hawaii is usually filled with Japanese tourists (laughs). The crew members were all kind and treated us well.
While a dinner cruise on a large ship is nice, I think a smaller, more relaxed cruise is also good.
However, the food (especially the meat) ran out quickly, so I couldn't eat as much as I wanted...

We actually went on two sailing trips in Waikiki with two different companies and although both were very good this one was better. The space on the boat was very roomie and the drinks were awesome - we just stuck to the specialty drink, but they offered beer and wine also. The music was one of the best parts - old school - jawaiian - reggae and the vibe was extremely relaxing!!! As the drinks continued to pour our group got real friendly waving and cheering to passing boats ... we were obviously having much more fun. Writing this I miss it and would definitely recommend this to everyone! Bottoms up!
