Waikiki
Unfortunately, the weather on the day was not great, and with the wind during the ride, it was quite cold. Most of the Japanese people who were with me seemed to be shivering and staying still. However, the staff were very good at getting everyone excited, engaging with us all, and they quickly brought us more drinks, which made the experience enjoyable.
A person from another country who happened to be sitting next to me took a lot of pictures of us, which became a nice memory. The selection of lively music and the snacks they handed out in the second half were also great. The views of Waikiki Beach and the surrounding area from the ocean side, as well as the sunset and night scenery, were very beautiful. I think it would have been truly perfect if it had been warm!
当日あいにくの天気だったため、走行中は+風もあるのでかなり寒かった。
乗り合わせた日本人の大半が震えてじっとしている感じでした。
ただスタッフの方が非常に盛り上げ上手で満遍なく声かけてくれ、
お酒もすぐにおかわりを持ってきてくれて楽しませてくれてありがたかったです!
たまたま隣に居合わせた他国の方が、自分たちの写真をたくさん撮ってくれたのも
良い思い出になりました。
盛り上がる音楽の選曲や、後半スナックを配ってくれるのも◎
普段見ることのない海側からみるワイキキビーチ周辺の景色や
サンセットや夜景もとても綺麗でした。これで暖かかったら本当に最高だと思う。
If it's even slightly cloudy, a thick jacket is a must!
少しでも曇っていたら、厚手の上着必須!
I think some people might worry about seasickness, but perhaps because I was enjoying the distant scenery, I was completely fine. The crew was friendly and kept us entertained.
船酔いを気にする方がいると思いますが、遠くの景色を楽しんでいたためか、私はまったく大丈夫でした。クルーもフレンドリーで楽しませてくれます。
Fortunately, during the time the sun was setting, there were no clouds in that direction, and I was able to watch the sunset in real-time. Although I'm not very good at English (I can hardly speak it), I was able to have some interaction with people from other countries using Google Translate.
運良く太陽が沈む時間帯、その方向に雲がまったく無く太陽が沈む様子をリアルタイムでじっくり観ることが出来ました
英語が不得意(ほぼ話せない)でしたがGoogle翻訳で他国の方とも少しですが交流が持てました
I participated at the end of April. The temperature on the water was a bit low, so I think it's better to have a windbreaker or something similar.
4月末の参加でした。洋上は気温低めでウィンドーブレーカーなどがあった方がベターだと思います
First off. This was an adult only, open bar sunset cruise. I have been on quite a few of these in the past. This cruise they didn’t even play the music up at all and there was little to no energy from the crew. And they ran out of white claws… Would not book again from this company.
ENERGY! This is adult only and open bar! Play the music up and have a good time with the customers!!
The sunset itself was incredibly beautiful and had an extraordinary feel to it, but it was different from the sunset cruise I had imagined.
On the day we participated, as we headed out to sea, the waves and wind were intense (I didn't feel it when I was by the beach; the weather was clear), and the boat rocked so much that I thought it might capsize. The splashes were just overwhelming! Those at the front of the boat were getting drenched from head to toe (there was a prior announcement warning that the front would get wet), and even those of us sitting further back got splashed several times and ended up completely soaked.
Although drinks were unlimited, the rocking of the boat and the splashes made it hard to enjoy them after a while.
Thanks to the loud EDM music (?), it turned into a crazy experience typical of overseas adventures, but it was a far cry from what I had envisioned; it felt more like a tough pirate experience. I would recommend it for younger, party-loving people. Those who get seasick, are looking for a romantic atmosphere, or are with children or seniors might want to skip it.
I believe it also depends on the weather and the captain's driving, so I hope this can serve as a reference as a personal experience. Thank you!
サンセット自体はすごく綺麗に見え、非日常感もありましたが、イメージしていたサンセットクルーズとは違いました。。
私たちが参加した日は、沖に出ていくにつれとにかく波風がすごくて(海辺にいた時は感じませんでした。天気も晴天です)、船が転覆するのでは?というくらい揺れましたし、波飛沫がとにかくすごい!!!船のヘッドにいた方たちは頭から絶えず水をかぶるレベルで濡れていましたし(ヘッドは濡れるので注意してね!というアナウンスは事前にありましたが)、前の方に座っていた私たちも何度か頭から水を被り全身びっしょ濡れに、、、
飲み放題ですが、船の揺れと飛沫がすごいので途中からそれどころじゃなくなりました。
EDMがガンガンに流れていたおかげで(?)、海外らしいクレイジーな体験ということである意味思い出にはなりましたが、イメージしていたものとは程遠い過酷なパイレーツ体験でした。
おすすめは若くてパリピな方かな。
船酔いする方や、ロマンティックな雰囲気を求めている方、子供連れやシニアの方はやめておいた方がいいです。
当日の天候や船長の運転にもよるとは思うので、一体験談として参考にしていただけると幸いです。ありがとうございました!
Motion sickness medication is essential, and swimwear is recommended as you will get wet. Be cautious about your clothing and bags. Additionally, after the sun sets, your wet body will cool down quick
酔い止めは必須、水着推奨レベルに濡れるので、服装やカバンは要注意です。また、陽が落ちた後は濡れた体が一気に冷えるので、タオルや羽織りを持っていった方がよいです。
The large yacht docks at Waikiki Beach, making it easily accessible. The staff is friendly, and although we were the only Japanese guests, it was not a problem. We were able to see a beautiful sunset.
ワイキキビーチに大型ヨットが接岸するので、アクセスがいいです。スタッフもフレンドリーで日本人は私たちだけでしたが、問題なしです。美しい夕焼けを見ることができました。
Since we will be boarding from the beach, I will take off my sandals and board barefoot. I will put my sandals in the shoe storage under the bench, and I will be barefoot on the boat.
ビーチから乗り込みますので、サンダルをぬいで裸足で乗り込みます。サンダルはベンチ下の靴入れに入れて、船上では裸足です。
In April, there might be fewer whales themselves. It felt like a tour where we were just watching a pair of parent and baby whales for a long time. The guide was a very fun person, and the tour itself was enjoyable!
4月になると,くじら自体の頭数が少ないのかな。
1組の親子クジラをずっと眺めているようなツアーでした。
ガイドさんはとても楽しい方で、ツアー自体は楽しかったです!
Very chill evening. The crew was very laid back. We hada clear view of the fireworks, all while enjoying the a few adult beverages and making new friends and memories.
It was a small boat, which made it quite impressive and enjoyable. The cruise lasted just the right amount of time (a little under an hour). The free drinks were also highly rated. The staff were all friendly, which added to the fun.
The engine is used during departure and arrival, but once offshore, they sail using the sails. I think it's a highlight to see the staff raising and lowering the sails and steering the boat.
小さな船だったこともあり迫力があり楽しめました。またちょうど良い時間(1時間弱)のクルーズでした。フリードリンクも好評価。スタッフも気さくな方ばかりだったので楽しめました。
出航帰港の時はエンジンを使いますが、沖合では帆を操って航行。スタッフが帆を張ったり畳んだり船の方向を操作するのも見どころかと思います。
Even if the catamaran hasn't arrived at the meeting point, if you wait at the outrigger on the beach, a yellow boat will approach from offshore.
集合場所にカタマランが到着していなかったとしても、ビーチに置いてあるアウトリガーのところで待っていると沖合から黄色い船が近づいてきます。
It was amazing to see the fireworks up close from the yacht! ✨ You can enjoy a different kind of fun compared to large ships. When boarding, you get on directly from the beach, but depending on the waves, you might get wet. By the way, I was soaked from the thighs down. 😅 I think it's good to keep that in mind when boarding.
ヨットなので花火が近い場所から見れて
最高でした✨
大型船とは違う楽しさを味わえます♪
乗船する時は浜辺から直接乗りますが
波の具合悪くよっては濡れます。
因みに私は太ももから下はびしょ濡れ😅
それを踏まえて乗船されるといいと思います。
I think it's good to board the ship with the expectation of getting used to it.
慣れる事を想定して乗船すると良いと思います。
We participated with seven people: my elderly parents, our children, and my spouse. My mother, who walks with a cane, was very happy. The kids (17, 14, and 10 years old) were taken to the netting of the catamaran, where they splashed around and had a great time. This became the best memory of our trip to Hawaii! The cocktails were delicious too!
高齢の両親、子ども達と夫婦の7人で参加しました。杖をついて歩く母もとても喜んでくれました。子ども達(17歳、14歳、10歳)も、カタマランの網の所?まで連れて行ってもらい、波しぶきを浴びてはしゃいでいました。今回のハワイ旅行で、1番の思い出になりました!カクテルも美味しかった〜!
It was the best sunset cruise ever. It was my first time experiencing a sunset cruise. I had been interested in it for a while, but due to my schedule, I couldn't experience it until now, so I made it a top priority this time. I was worried about the weather after the Kona storm, but it turned out to be a beautiful, clear day. The service from the captain and crew was outstanding. The views from the boat were incredible, especially Diamond Head, which we saw from an angle that you can't see from land, making it very special. I was able to enjoy the sunset as it sank into the Hawaiian sea. Onboard, there was unlimited alcohol and soft drinks, and the Mai Tai was especially delicious. Dance music was playing, and everyone on board joined in dancing, making it an incredibly fun experience.
最高のサンセットクルーズでした。初めてサンセットクルーズ体験をしました。以前から気になっていたのですが、滞在スケジュールの予定でなかなか体験できなかたったですが、今回最優先として組み入れました。コナストーム後で天気が心配でしたが、快晴で最高の天気でした。船長、乗組員の皆さんのサービス精神がとても素晴らしいです。船上からの景色はどれも最高で、特にダイヤモンドヘッドは陸からでは観られない角度からだったので、とても貴重です。夕陽もハワイの海に沈む瞬間までじっくりと観ることができました。船上ではアルコール、ソフトドリンクが飲み放題で、特にマイタイは最高に美味しかったです。ダンスミュージックが鳴り響き乗客皆でダンスで盛り上がり最高に楽しかったです。
Definitely give it a try. You'll have the best time that you can't experience in Japan.
ぜひ体験してみてください。日本では体験できない最高の時間が過ごせます。
Captain Jenna, Kaiala and Dez were all awesome! Family friendly! Very accommodating to my kids! So nice, and friendly and the Drinks were wonderful! Great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki beach. I want to go again!!!!!! Really really great tour!
Just book the tour!!!!!
I was able to see the sunset over the ocean, and the cheerful atmosphere among everyone on the boat further lifted my spirits. I'm glad I participated.
海の上で、夕陽も見ることができて・・船上のみんなの楽しそうな雰囲気で更に気分が上昇・・参加して良かった。
When getting off the boat, be careful as waves can come and soak your pants. It's good to be cautious while getting off. It's also fun, though!
船から降りるときに波が来て、パンツがずぶぬれになった人がいるので
気を付けて降りると良いです。それも楽しいですがね。
The guide told us that if we couldn't see them, we could try again, so I was half-expecting it, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. In the first half, they didn't show up much, but once we went out to sea, a mother and baby whale swam close to the boat the whole time, which was amazing! ♪
ガイドさんからは、見れなかったら再度チャレンジと言われ、期待半分でしたが、素晴らしい体験ができました。
前半は中々、姿を現してくれませんでしたが、沖に出てからは親子クジラがずっと船の近くを泳いでくれていて、最高でした♪
I boarded the morning cruise. It was amazing to feel the wind while cruising on the ship. The drinks were unlimited, and the crew members were cheerful. The view of Diamond Head and the coastline of Honolulu from offshore was exceptional. I was very lucky to see a pair of turtles on the way back. I thought I would love to go on this cruise again when I visit Hawaii.
午前便に乗船しました。船の上で風を感じながらのクルーズは最高でした。ドリンク飲み放題で乗員さんも陽気です。沖合から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの海岸沿いは格別な眺めでした。帰り際に亀のつがいも見ることが出来たのでとてもラッキーでした。ハワイに行ったときはまた乗りたいと思いました。
When boarding, your feet might get a little wet, so I think it's best to wear footwear that can handle getting wet.
乗船する時に少し足が濡れることがあるので、濡れてもいいような履物がいいと思います
So fun! Found it through a Groupon, and we totally got our money's worth. Take this cruise!
I couldn't see the whales well because I didn't know where they would come from. The boat was rocking, and I couldn't stand up and move around, so to avoid injury, I stayed seated and enjoyed the view of Waikiki Beach.
クジラがどこから出てくるか分らないのでよく見えませんでした。
船も揺れるし立ち上がってウロウロできないのでケガしないように椅子に座ったままで
ワイキキビーチを眺めて楽しみました。
I felt quite restricted due to my lack of English skills. There were no Japanese participants. As for the whales, I was able to spot them surfacing about three times, but they were only the size of my fingernail for a brief moment, and they were too far away to take any pictures, which was disappointing. I suppose it's just luck, so there's nothing to be done about it.
As everyone mentioned in their reviews, the sea breeze was cold, and during the sunset tour in March, wearing an ultra-light down jacket was just right. There was no place inside the boat to shield from the wind. The strong swaying and cold, along with the surprisingly long duration of the trip, caused my mother, who is in her 70s, to feel unwell.
I would recommend this for those who want to "enjoy a leisurely cruise while feeling the sea breeze" rather than for whale watching! There were small children moving around the boat, but I was quite worried they might fall through the gaps in the handrails due to the significant rocking.
英語力が皆無なので、結構不自由を感じました。
日本人の参加者はいませんでした。
肝心の鯨は3回ほど息継ぎを遠くに見つけられましたが、爪の先ほどのサイズが一瞬で、写真を撮れるほどの距離でも無く残念でした。これは運なので仕方ないです。
皆さまのレビューどおり、海風が寒く、3月晴れのサンセットツアーではウルトラライトダウンを着てちょうど良かった程です。船内は風を防げる場所もありません。
強い揺れと寒さと、航行が意外と長くて、70代の母は体調を崩してしまいました。
鯨目的より、「のんびり海の風を感じながらクルーズしたい」という方にはオススメです!小さなお子さんが船上を行き来していましたが、かなり上下左右に揺れるので手すりの隙間から落ちてしまわないか心配でした。
I didn't understand much from the reception, so it would be better to have at least some English listening skills. The sunset in March was chilly with the sea breeze, and the ultra-light down jacket w
受付からよく分からなかったので、英語力はある程度聞き取れるくらいはあった方が良いです。
3月のサンセットは海風が寒く、ウルトラライトダウンでちょうど良かったです!
The tour in Hawaii was affordable and great. The location was also good since it was near the Ala Moana Shopping Center.
ハワイのツアーの中で安くて良かったです。
近くにアラモアナショッピングセンターもあったので、場所も良かったです。
There was a restroom at the meeting place, but it was very dirty.
待ち合わせ場所にトイレはあったけど、すごく汚いです。
Very friendly team. Highly recommend. Thank you very much
Friendly staff. Good drinks. Clear directions and information.
The best staff!
The best views!
The best cruising!
Definitely get on and enjoy it!!
It was so good that there’s no reason not to ride!
最高のスタッフ!
最高の景色!
最高のクルージング!
是非乗って楽しんで下さい!!
乗らない理由がないくらい良かった!
Last time I participated in a whale watch was in March 2018, but I didn't see any whales then. This time, I was able to see them several times, and I was moved to see whales for the first time. Although I didn't get to see them jump high, I did see them surface and blow water.
The waves were calm, so I was able to participate without getting seasick. As sunset approached, we enjoyed a cruise up to Diamond Head and were able to see a beautiful sunset.
前回2018年3月に来た際にもホエールウォッチに参加しましたが、その時は見れずでした。
今回は数回に渡り見る事ができ、初めて見るクジラに感動です。
大きくジャンプする姿は見れませんでしたが、背中を出して潮を吹く姿は見れました。
波も穏やかで船酔いもせずに参加できました。
日没が近づくとダイヤモンドヘッド手前まで遊覧も楽しめて綺麗な夕日を見る事もできました。
At sunset, it can feel a bit chilly, so it's good to have a jacket.
サンセットだと、多少寒く感じるので上着があると良いです。
We were able to see dolphins shortly after the boat departed. It rained occasionally, and thanks to that, we also saw a rainbow. Miraculously, we were able to see whales about three times. The sea and Diamond Head from the ocean were both very beautiful, and I was extremely satisfied.
船が出発して早々にイルカを見ることが出来ました。
雨が時折降ってきて、そのおかげで虹も見れました。
奇跡的にクジラも3回程見る事が出来ました。
海も海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドもとても綺麗で大満足です。
Since we departed early in February, it was cold. I think those participating should wear or bring a hooded jacket that blocks the wind.
2月の早朝に出発した為、寒かったです。
参加される方は風の通さないフード付きの上着を着て行くか持って行った方がいいと思います。
Capt Jamie and the crew were amazing and very knowledgable! We got to see a pod of whales pop up 4 times or more, we saw flying fish, and a pid of dolphins with babies! Great cruise!
I participated in the morning tour. There were a lot of participants, and I think all the seats were full. I was looking forward to seeing whales since February is said to be a good season for it, but unfortunately, I didn't see any. They announced that we can reattempt for free at any time. The boat was larger than I expected, but it swayed a lot. I think having motion sickness medication would help. Also, since the wind was strong, it's better to have a light jacket or something to wear.
朝イチのツアーに参加しました。参加者はとても多く、椅子は満席だったと思います。
2月はクジラが見やすいシーズンとの事で期待してましたが、見れなかったです。
再チャレンジをいつでも無料でできるとアナウンスありました。
船は予測より大きいものでしたが、めちゃくちゃ揺れます。酔い止めあれば大丈夫かと思います。
あと、風が強いので薄手羽織ものある方がいいです
A mother and baby whale appeared. Although we didn't see them jump, we were able to see the mother's impressive tail fin, the cute baby's back, and their spouts.
親子の鯨が出てくれました。ジャンプは見られませんでしたが母親の立派な尾ヒレと、可愛いベビーの背中、潮吹きが見られました。
Please wear warm clothing because it's cold.
寒いので防寒着を着て行ってください
My first time in Hawaii, I was worried about the wind and waves, constantly checking the weather forecast. There were some waves, and I got wet up to my knees when boarding, but once we set sail, the ride was smooth, and I experienced a wonderful sunset. I was able to see the whales spouting and their tails, and the unlimited Mai Tais made it all a great memory.
初めてのハワイ、風や波の心配があり、天気予報と睨めっこ。少々波はあり、乗船時に膝上まで濡れましたが、出港してからは揺れが少なく、素晴らしいサンセットを体験。クジラの潮吹き、尾まで見ることができたこと、飲み放題マイタイ、全てが良い思い出です。
It was a group of 10:30, but it seems we couldn't see the previous group. 😭
When we went out to sea, there were three parent whales and their baby, and they looked beautiful like in the pictures. Just as we were about to head back, the captain quickly turned around because the whales became more active. Thanks to that, we were able to see the baby whale jump multiple times. 🐳 Thank you, Captain! 🧑✈️ But since it was a baby, it looked more like the jumps of dolphins. 🤭
The view of Diamond Head from Waikiki by the sea is stunning.
Since it was a windy day in February, the boat rocked quite a bit. If you're sensitive to motion sickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. Also, while the sun is strong, there are times when the wind feels cold. I think having a long-sleeved cover-up would be a good idea.
1030のグループでしたが、その前のグループは見れなかったようです😭
沖に出ると三頭の親子がいて、写真のように見えました。
帰りかけた時に、クジラの動きが活発になったと、キャプテンが機転をきかして戻ってくれました。お陰でベビークジラのジャンプが何回も見れました🐳
ありがとう、キャプテン🧑✈️
でもベビーなので、イルカ🐬のジャンプのようでした🤭
海側からのワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めは見事です。
2月で風の強い日だったので、かなり揺れました。揺れに弱い方は酔い止めを飲んでおくのをお勧めします。
また、陽射しは強いですが、風が寒いと感じる時も。長袖の羽織るものがあると良いと思います。
