Definitely a beautiful hike (workout) lol love the scenery. Just wish waterfall was bigger but amazing

After deciding to go to Hawaii, I was asked to go fishing, so I made a reservation here. Although they didn't speak Japanese, we managed to communicate since it was fishing. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all. During our trip, we didn't catch many fish overall, but my son caught three small ones and released them. Although we couldn't eat them, my son was very satisfied to be able to fish in the beautiful sea.

ハワイに行くと決まってから、釣りがしたいとお願いされ、こちらを予約しました。
日本語は通じませんが、釣りですので、何とかなりました。
心配していた船酔いも全くなかったです。
魚は参加した回は全体的にあまり釣れずでしたが、息子は小さめを3匹釣り、リリースしました。
食べることは出来ませんでしたが、息子は綺麗な海で釣りが出来、大満足でした。

We gathered in front of the marina's dock. Despite the boat being named "Sashimi II," it was a bit disappointing that no one spoke Japanese at all. I was the only Japanese participant, but if you have a little experience with fishing, you can understand how to use the equipment and the fishing techniques. I was able to grasp most of the explanations through gestures.

The bait was cut squid, and we used a simple bottom fishing setup with a two-hook rig and weights. We fished while changing points from the marina to off Waikiki and Diamond Head. The scenery was beautiful, providing double the enjoyment.

The target was the Mōngara (a type of filefish), and the crew prepared the fish we caught on board, allowing us to taste it on the way back.

マリーナの桟橋前で集合。
さしみ２号（sashimiⅡ）の船名のわりに日本語は全く通じなくてちょっと残念。
日本人参加者は自分１人だったのですが、船釣りの経験が少しあれば道具の使い方や釣り方は判ります。身振り手振りでも大体の説明は理解できました。
餌はイカの切り身、２本バリとおもりのスピニングタックルのシンプルな底釣りです。
マリーナからワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッド沖までをポイントを変えながら釣ります。風景も良く、ダブルの楽しみがあります。
ターゲットはモンガラ（カワハギの仲間）で釣った魚はクルーが船内でさばいて帰りに味見が出来ました。

Everyone except for my husband and me were foreigners. If you don't set the audio guide to Japanese, you won't understand the explanations at all. However, since the boat rocks a lot on the way, it's better to have motion sickness medication. It was thrilling to transfer from the boat to the submarine. Moving in the middle of the ocean to the submarine was amazing. When a sea turtle swam close to the window, I was so impressed! It was great to encounter various fish as well.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人。説明も日本語オーディオガイドにセットしないと説明が全く分からず、しかし、行きの船がとても揺れるので酔い止めの薬は、あった方が良い。船から潜水艇を乗り移る時などは感動。海のど真ん中でから、潜水艇へと移動。ウミガメが、窓の近くに泳いで来てくれた時は、すご〜い❗️と感動。
色んな魚とも出会いよかったです。

Adam was prompt for pick up at hotel and at Diamond head. He was informative and gave good tips about the hike. Beautiful hike

It was my first time fishing from a boat, and I participated alone. The crew was kind and friendly, which made me feel at ease. I encountered dolphins and seals! Although I didn't catch much, I enjoyed the fish that the crew cooked for us on the boat. It was delicious.

船釣りは初めてで、しかも一人での参加。クルーが親切でフレンドリーで安心した。イルカやアザラシとも遭遇！なかなか釣れなかったけど、クルーの釣った魚を船の上で調理して頂いた。美味しかった。

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

Headphones and MP3 pre-download are essential! Since I stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it was great that the meeting place was nearby. It was a valuable experience to go underwater in a submarine.

イヤフォンとmp3の事前ダウンロード必須！
Hilton Hawaiian village宿泊だったので、待ち合わせ場所が近くて良かったです。
潜水艦で海の中へ入る貴重な経験でした

According to the captain, if you're lucky, you might see dolphins. We were in Honolulu the day before, and a whale appeared, which heightened our spirits and allowed us to have an unexpectedly wonderful time.

キャプテンによると、運が良ければイルカが見れるとのこと。私たちはホノルル前日であったが、クジラがあらわれ、機運が高まったことから予想以上に素晴らしい時間を過ごせた。

Our kids had a blast, not sure if I would do this if I had older kids / adults, as the views were okay!

There is nothing in particular. But it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun.

My 11-year-old son was very happy. I recommend it. He seemed to have fun catching a fish. The staff were also kind and taught us patiently. In the end, they cooked the fish we caught and let us eat it.

１１さいの息子が大分喜びました。お勧めです。１匹釣れてたのしそうでした。またスタッフも優しくて丁寧におしえてくれます。最後、釣れた魚を料理して、たべさせてくれました。

As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!

The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.

Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!

The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!

We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!

家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます！

Since I didn't want to go snorkeling, I thought about taking a boat out to sea, so I searched in the morning and boarded a boat around 2 PM that day. I didn't get to see a honu, but I did see a pod of dolphins! They swam very close to the side of the boat, and I was really happy! You can see Waikiki from the ocean side, and there's a chance to meet dolphins, so I would like to use this service again.

シュノーケルなどをしない為、船に乗って海に出たいなーと思い、午前中に探してその日の14時ごろの船に乗りました。ホヌには会えなかったけど、イルカの群れを見れました！船の横とても近くに泳いでくれて、とっても嬉しかったです！ワイキキを海側から見れるし、イルカに会えるチャンスもあるし、また利用したいです。

It was my first time deep-sea fishing, and I was worried about seasickness, but the waves were calm, the weather was nice, and I enjoyed the stunning views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and Coco Head during the cruise, so it was fine. We moved to several spots and patiently waited with squid as bait, but unfortunately, we didn't catch anything. However, we enjoyed delicious sashimi and sautéed fish caught by others. Every time someone caught a fish, there were cheers, and it was a lot of fun!

海釣りは初めてで船酔いが心配でしたが、波も静かでお天気もよく、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、ココヘッドなどの絶景を楽しみながらのクルーズだったので大丈夫でした。何カ所もスポットを移動して、イカを餌にじっと待ちましたが、残念ながら釣れず。でも他の方が釣った魚をお刺身やソテーでおいしくいただきました。誰かが釣るたびに歓声が上がり、とても楽しかったです！

The tour driver was great! He got us there and through the gate in a timely manner. However, if you are looking for serenity or a peaceful hike, you have come to the wrong place. It was so crowded it was hard to enjoy. Had some younger individuals that thought we might all enjoy their music blaring.

This site would benefit from a timed entry system.

The water was murky and visibility was not very good, which was disappointing. Since we departed in the early afternoon, it might have been murky because of that. If we had gone in the early morning, the sea might have been calm and clear, allowing for better visibility. However, I was able to experience the thrill of navigating through the 30-meter deep sea.

海の中は濁っておりあまり良く見えず期待以下でした。午後一番での出発だったので濁っていたのかも知れません。朝一番だったら海は穏やかで透明でもう少し良く見えたのかも知れません。水深30メートルの海の中を航行しているというドキドキ感を味わうことができました。

Duration:
Including travel time, you can enjoy about 90 minutes of fishing at a beautiful offshore point overlooking Diamond Head, which takes approximately 3 hours to reach! It was just the right length—not too long, not too short.

Catch:
My wife and I tried fishing together, and we caught four large butterflyfish, close to 30 centimeters, with strong pulls! Unlike the butterflyfish in Japan, these were colorful with pink tails and made a "boo boo" sound. Some people didn’t catch anything at all, but it’s necessary to tweak your fishing technique a bit. The bait is squid, but it’s cut quite roughly, so I recommend tearing it into smaller pieces to use.

Staff Response:
The staff provided thorough instructions on how to handle the fishing rods. They quickly addressed issues like tangled lines with neighboring guests and helped remove caught fish from the hooks. When my wife got seasick, they were always attentive and offered her ginger candy.

Wonderful Service:
You can bring your own food and drinks, including alcohol. Water and light juice are available for free from tanks on board. The caught fish are immediately prepared for you. By the time we returned to port, we all enjoyed the butterflyfish sautéed with delicious seasonings in a large frying pan. As a side note, my wife had recovered from her seasickness by then and was even asking for seconds. (laughs)

所要時間：
およそ3時間でダイヤモンドヘッドを望む美しい沖合いポイントまで移動時間を含めると実質90分ほど船釣りを楽しめます！長過ぎず、短すぎず、程良かったです。
釣果：
妻と二人でトライしましたが引きが強くて30センチ近くの大きなカワハギが4匹釣れました！
日本のカワハギと異なり、カラフルでピンクの尾をしていて、ブーブーと鳴いておりました。
中には全く釣れない人たちもいましたが、釣り方を少し工夫する必要があります。餌はイカですがかなりざっくりカットされているので、少し小さくちぎって、つけるのがお勧めです。
スタッフ対応：
丁寧に釣り竿の扱い方などをレクチャー頂けます。また隣の客と糸が絡まったり、釣れた魚を針から外したりする際に迅速に対応してくださります。妻が船酔いでダウンした際は常に気をかけて下さり、ジンジャーの飴を渡してくれました。
素敵なサービス：
アルコールを含む飲食物を持ち込めます。
船内に水、薄いジュースがタンクから無料で頂けます。釣れた魚は直ぐに捌いて頂けます。帰港までには大きなフライパンで香ばしい調味料と一緒に炒められたカワハギを乗員全員で美味しく頂きました。蛇足ですが、妻はこの頃には船酔いから回復しており、おかわりしてました。笑

Our guides were super entertaining and helpful.
Some outstanding, picturesque views from the sail! Very nice experience!

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！

The staff were amazing; friendly, funny and full of knowledge. Felt safe the whole time, and the sights themselves were amazing. Seeing sea turtles, sharks, eels, stingrays and schools of fish on sunken ships was amazing. Worth every penny.

They had water and bathrooms on the boat, just not on the sub. But time seems to fly by down there, you’re in a different world.

First of all, I admit my own fault, but when I arrived at the meeting point exactly at 11:00 for the boat that was scheduled to depart at 11:00, it left right in front of me. In the end, I was able to change to the next boat an hour later.

As for the view from the submarine, the water clarity was low, and there were only a few fish; I saw a small shark once or twice at most. My 3-year-old child started to get bored after about 10 minutes, and the crew talked non-stop for an hour, which was quite painful for us since we didn't understand English. The foreign guests on board also seemed to be smiling awkwardly and didn't look like they were having much fun.

As an experience, I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying it once, but when I calmly looked back at the cost, I concluded that I definitely wouldn't do it a second time.

まずこれは自分も悪いんですが、
11時出発の船で11時ピッタリに集合場所に着いたら、目の前で出発されてしまいました。
最終的にはその1時間後の便に変更してもらえましたが。
あとは潜水艦から見える景色も透明度低く魚が少し、一度か二度だけ小さいサメが見えた程度。
3歳の子供は10分ほどで飽き始め、
クルーが1時間ずっと喋りっぱなしで、
英語わからない自分達にはかなり苦痛でした。
乗ってる外国の方も苦笑気味であんまり面白そうな感じではなかったです。
体験としては一度経験する事は止めないですが、冷静に金額見返したらまず2回目は無いよね。という結論に至りました。

It felt like we were casually scuba diving down to the seabed. I was very satisfied to see various sizes of fish and sea turtles! The water can get murky or hard to see depending on the currents and weather, but I think only those with a broad mindset who can accept that should go.

海底までいくので、気軽にスキューバダイビングをしているようでした。そして大小様々な魚やウミガメが見れて大満足でした！潮流、天気によって海水が濁ったり見えにくかったりするようですが、それも仕方がないと思える心が広い人だけがいけばいいと思います。

Sunday morning cruise. The captain and all the crew were women.

I participated because I wanted to view the hotels in Honolulu and Diamond Head from the sea.

Just a little way out, and the color of the ocean changed to ocean blue, allowing us to enjoy a wonderful cruise.

Although it was indicated that only soft drinks would be available, alcoholic beverages were also served on board.

Completing the waiver and health check online in advance is more convenient and avoids any hassle.

日曜日の午前のクルーズ。キャプテン、クルーすべて女性でした。

ホノルルのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドなどを海から眺めたうと思い、参加しました。

少し沖に出るだけで、海の色がオーシャンブルーに変わり、素敵なクルーズを楽しめました。

ソフトドリンクだけと案内がありましたが、船上ではアルコール飲料も提供されてましたよ。

事前の免責同意書、ヘルスチェックはWebで済ませておく方が、面倒がありません。

It was great to have round trip transportation and everything provided such as waters, walking sticks, and bug spray. It was pouring rain when we went and the rain ponchos came in handy for $5. We felt very prepared for the hike along with information of its history and movie sites to look for. Was an enjoyable time

the kids lvoed to get to see the fish from the portholes! great day underwater

The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.

高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念

Beautiful night, crew had loads of energy made the night that much better. Would recommend to others and do again.
