This tour was really fun! I've been to Oahu multiple times but my fiance hasn't. So we decided to try some fun new stuff out. I've never done a sunset tour. Our group on the boat was fun and slightly reserved, which is fine by me! The crew was great! It's only 2 guys but they make it fun with passing out drinks and starting up convos. I get sea sick and forgot to take my motion meds before we took off from the beach. Going out the water was exceptionally choppy and the waves were big the further out you got. I had to stand up and by the railing to make sure if I had to vomit it wouldn't go on me or anyone else. The meds finally kicked in on the way back and the water also smoothed out coming back in so I was perfectly fine to start talking to people and getting my moneys worth of drinks in me. This cruise is for everyone! There was one young girl (underage) who stayed up in front of the boat on the netting and got soaked and enjoyed every min of it. There was two older ladies (I mean like 75-85 years in age who needed more assistance getting on the boat and off and around the boat at times and the two guys who run the boat were perfect gentlemen helping them. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Also the music was good! I'd recommend this to everyone and anyone wanting to enjoy a sunset cruise!

I've been to Oahu many times. I brought my fiance this time since he's never been. I wanted him to try out snorkeling and see things other than fish, so the turtle tour was a perfect fit. Honestly the crew did a great job. Even the people we had on the boat with us doing the tour was a wonderful group. The only few downsides were: it rained. And I mean it poured! Not for very long and I'm sure the people in the water didn't notice it much, but I was sitting on the boat at the time and I was trying to cover our backpack and towels, since we would need them to dry off later, and it was coming down like pellets. But it didn't last more than 10-15 min and was more or less over. But the sky stayed dark making it hard to see through the already dark water. The turtles became less visible and it made our whole group decide to get out of the water and come back onto the boat to head back in. We were out there for a good amount of time but not the full time. The other problem we had was it got very crowded in the water looking at the turtles. 4 other boats full of passengers were doing other turtle tours as well. There was just a lot of people bumping into each other. I tried to stay away from most people and still saw a ton of turtles, but my fiance on the other hand had a harder time. It was also scary when I'd look up and not see him through all these other people. The last problem was that there were a few people who didn't know how to swim or snorkel. So it took a long time to explain how to use the snorkel equipment and pass out floaties. The positives were the boat was smooth sailing. Everyone was on time and nice. The turtles were wonderful. Hard to see them when they get super deep but they were big and beautiful and did not disappoint. Lots of fish to see too. The couple who run the boat are wonderful and so are there family who came and helped out as well. For the price I would definitely recommend this and probably do it again when we go back!

That's disappointing! It seemed like there were fewer people catching fish than others. It didn't feel like there was much effort to help us catch fish in the two and a half hours.
残念!
他の人も釣れている人の方が少なかったかなぁ。
2時間半で頑張って釣らせようという感じはあんまりしなかったです。

I could hardly understand the explanation since it was in English only. The guide mentioned that headphones with explanations in Japanese would be available, but when I asked, I was told it was English only. I got bored just looking at the simple underwater scenery.
英語オンリーで、説明がほとんど理解できませんでした。案内には、日本語で解説したヘッドホンが使用出来ると書いてあったので、尋ねると英語オンリーとのこと。単純な海底の景色を見ているだけで、飽きてしまいました。

We boarded the catamaran departing at 1 PM as a couple. People from various countries, including families with babies and elderly gentlemen, were on board. After taking an hour and a half to travel from Waikiki to near Diamond Head, we went west offshore until we could see Kaka'ako Waterfront Park before returning. The waves were quite high, causing some thrilling splashes, and the view from the sea was absolutely stunning! If you prefer not to get too wet, I recommend sitting towards the back. The male crew on the catamaran was very kind, always attentive to an elderly gentleman with mobility issues, and they helped him down the ladder slowly and safely at the end of the trip, which left a strong impression on me.
13時出発のカタマランに夫婦で乗船させて頂きました。赤ちゃん連れのファミリーから高齢のおじいちゃんまで色んな国の方々が乗船して1時間半かけてワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行った後、カカアコウォーターフロントパークが見えるくらいの沖合西へ行ってから戻るコースです。波が高いと結構揺れてスプラッシュも何度かありスリル満点で海から見る景色は最高です!あまり濡れたくない方は後ろ寄りに座るのがオススメ。カタマランの男性クルーがとても親切で、足の悪い高齢のおじいちゃんを常に気にかけてあげたり、最後下船する際も滑らないよう手を取ってゆっくりタラップ降りるフォローされていたのが印象的でした。

Super fun experience. The boat and crew were friendly and their pina coladas were EXCELLENT.
The only thing that kept this from being an outstanding experience was that as a solo participant, I was a little left out. Drink orders went out and someone finally noticed I didn’t have one and took care of it. Then, towards the end, another staff member went around asking everyone if they wanted their photos taken and I wasn’t included. At the end of the day, it’s no biggie and I don’t think it was intentional but just wanted to mention it for consideration. I think it’s just one of those things that happen to solo travelers here and there.
Otherwise, loved it!

To be the first time snorkeling for the whole family, it was amazing. We had the opportunity to be only party that day so we practically had a private tour the whole boat for ourselves. My husband and girls had the best time ever.
The whole crew took good care of us 6, one of them stood in the water the whole time making sure we were ok. They provided refreshments and ensured we were ok throughout the whole trip.

We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to Kewalo Basin. We went on a fishing experience for about three hours on the Sashimi No. 2. We were the only Japanese people on board, along with about 20 others. There were three staff members, including the captain. They handled everything, including tangled lines and lost hooks, which made it easy for us. The bait was frozen squid. About 30 minutes in, we caught a fish that was around 20 centimeters long. The smell of the frozen squid was overwhelming, but it was a very enjoyable time.

We were about ten people celebrating the wedding of one of the girls living in Hawaii. It was a great memory. The ship didn't sway much, so I wasn't worried about seasickness. Hawaiian beer is well chilled and costs around $4 to $5. You don't need marine shoes since you board barefoot. Be careful of sunburn. The boarding area is between the Sheraton and Halekulani. The girl at the reception doesn't speak Japanese, but she is friendly.
日本人は我々位でしたが、ハワイ在住の女のコたちの一人が結婚するとかで10人位でお祝いにて乗船しておりました。良い思い出です。船は揺れも少なく船酔いは心配ありません。ハワイのビールは4から5ドルでよく冷えてます。乗船時は裸足ですのでマリンシューズは必要ありません。日焼けは注意です。乗り場はシェラトンとハレクラニの間。受け付けの女のコは日本語はNGですがフレンドリー。
