Waikiki
We had a special night on the ke Kai watching the Friday night fireworks.
Staff were all lovely was a great vibe on the catamaran.
So nice seeing Waikīkī at night like that, the fireworks themselves don’t go for too long but still was magic.
We went with our kids and they loved it.
Great crew made this a fun evening on the water with beautiful views. If you are looking to get out on the water, this is an awesome way to see the coast and amazing sunset. Crew are pro’s with people to make sure all are safe and having a great time.
Our group really enjoyed the sunset cruise. Great service, fun environment and the drinks were a bonus treat. LOVE this trip we plan on doing it again in 2024!
The crew was cheerful and kind, and the sunset over the Waikiki night view along with the free drinks on board was fantastic🥂 I will definitely ride again next time!
クルーの方も陽気で親切で、ワイキキの夜景にサンセット、船上でのフリードリンクは最高でした🥂
次回も絶対また乗ります!
It's better to prepare a tip before you go.
チップを用意して行かれた方が良いです。
The crew is very friendly and professional. The view of Honolulu is spectacular after sunset. Talk to other passengers- meet interesting people
I visit Hawaii regularly every year. I have participated in various sailing activities, but Holokai Catamaran has been the best, so this is my third consecutive year joining them.
The most wonderful aspect is, of course, the view of Waikiki from the sea, but even more so, the friendly attitude and service spirit of the crew. They offer unlimited drinks and provide timely refills, which reflects the hospitality that Japanese people appreciate, and it makes me happy.
There are many sailing options in Waikiki, but this one is the best. If you're considering it, definitely go and check it out!
毎年HAWAIIには定期的に伺います。
いろいろなセーリングに参加していましたがホロカイカタマランが一番良かったので今回で3年続けて参加させて頂きました。
何よりも素晴らしいのは当然海から見るワイキキの風景ですが、それにもましてクルーのフレンドリーな対応やサービス精神です。
飲み放題ですがタイムリーにお代わりの飲み物を提供してくれたり日本人が喜ぶもてなしの精神か伺え嬉しくなります。
ワイキキには数多くセイリングがありますが
ココが一番です。
ご検討の人は是非行って見てください。
Everything was GREAT! Everything was right on schedule. Great host, such a smooth ride. Our captain gave great tips and the bartender kept the drinks coming. It's a great ride to get a whole view of wakiki Beach
I participated in early November. Since I made a last-minute reservation, I didn't check the reviews or precautions much and joined without sunglasses, but you should definitely bring them! The sun was strong for about an hour from the meeting time, and I got really sunburned, so sunscreen is a must. I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick, but the boat was quite rocky at times. We got splashed with water in the areas with big waves, but it was exciting and fun. The drinks were unlimited with a cup exchange, and at the end, we even received mini raffles. In our group, there was only one other Japanese couple, and there were more people from Europe and the United States than from Asia. Everyone was friendly, and we were able to take photos together. The strong wind made my hair a mess. It felt a bit pricey due to the weak yen, but the sunset was beautiful, and I'm glad I participated!
11月上旬に参加しました。直前にドタバタ予約したため口コミや注意事項をあまり確認せずグラサンなしで参加しましたが、絶対持っていってください笑
集合時間〜1時間ぐらいは日差しが強く、日焼けが凄かったので、日焼け止めも必須です。酔い止めは飲んでいたので船酔いはありませんでしたが、途中は揺れが大きかったです。波が大きいところでは水に濡れたりもしましたが、盛り上がって楽しかったです。ドリンクもコップ交換で飲み放題で、最後にミニのラッフルズなどもいただきました。私たちが乗った回は日本の方が他に1組しかおらず、アジア圏よりも欧米の方が多かったです。みなさんフレンドリーで写真を取り合ったりできました。強風で髪の毛はボッサボサになります。円安すぎてお高めに感じましたが、サンセットもキレイで参加して良かったです!
This was our first time taking a booze cruise and not sure what to expect. Bring your enthusiasm, let your hair down, and you will truly enjoy this experience. The staff was so friendly and fun, the drinks flowed, and we were dancing most of the time. The rest of the time spent was taking the most amazing photos against a spectacular sunset! Every one of my group of 12 had the best time and wanted to do this again every night of our stay!
Thank you to the KeKai Catamaran crew for this experience.
It was a fulfilling course for the price! The meeting point was a bit hard to find, so I recommend arriving early. There was time to play in the sea before sunset, and afterwards, we enjoyed watching the sunset and cruising the night sea, which made for a wonderful experience!
お値段の割に充実したコースでした!
集合場所が若干わかりづらく、迷ってしまいましたので早めに行かれることをお勧めします。
日の入り前に海で遊ぶ時間もあり、その後ゆっくり夕日を見て夜の海をクルージングできるので、充実の時間でした!
I have visited Honolulu many times and enjoyed gourmet experiences at tourist spots like North Shore, Manoa, and Kailua in the past. This time, I experienced a 90-minute sailing on the sea of Honolulu. During check-in, a lovely woman provided a detailed explanation, and on board, a cheerful male crew member offered various services. It was amazing to see the scenery from the sea, looking at the city of Honolulu, the hotels, Diamond Head, and the Pacific Ocean, which I usually viewed from the land. Although the weather wasn't perfectly sunny, I didn't get sunburned and enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze along with delicious free drinks served by the staff. I had beer, cocktails, white wine, and champagne, feeling pleasantly tipsy. With a capacity of 42 people, there were 14 of us (6 Japanese, 2 Australians, and others), and we had a wonderful time taking photos and chatting (I conversed with an Australian family).
何回もホノルルへ来ていて、過去ノースショア・マノア・カイルアなどの観光地でグルメ中心に楽しんでいました。今回、ホノルルの海を90分のセーリングを経験。チェックインでは、ハーフの素敵な女性が丁寧に説明してくれ、乗船では明るい男性乗船が色々なサービスをしてくれ、いつもは街から見ていた風景を、海からホノルルの街やホテル・ダイヤモンド・太平洋を見ることができ、最高でした。天候は快晴ではなかったけど、日焼けせず、心地よい海風と美味しいフリードリンクを、スタッフがサーブしてくれ、ビール・カクテル・白ワイン・シャンパンを飲み、ほろ酔い加減。42名?の定員で、14名(日本人6、オーストラリア人2他)で、写真を取り合ったり、おしゃべりしたり(当方オーストラリア人の親子と歓談)と素敵な時間でした。
I came back and had a Mai Tai at home, but I miss the Mai Tai from that boat. Last time, the sea was rough and I couldn't ride, but I'm very satisfied this time.
帰ってきて、家でマイタイ呑みましたが、あの船のマイタイが恋しくてmissingです
前回、海が荒れて乗れなかったのですが大満足です。
You can enjoy a wonderful sunset cruise while admiring Diamond Head on a uniquely shaped boat that is hard to find in Japan. We start with a toast as Mai Tai cocktails flow from the tap! (If you don't drink, you can choose something else.) Other alcoholic beverages are also all-you-can-drink, allowing you to spend a pleasant time feeling the breeze in an open space.
The boarding area is near a power spot called Kavehevehe, so be sure to check it out before or after your cruise. It will cleanse both your mind and body!
The meeting point is just a short walk through the Sheraton Hotel, making it especially recommended if you're staying at a hotel near the Sheraton!
なかなか日本ではお目にかからない形の船に乗り、ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながら素敵なサンセットクルーズができます。
マイタイカクテルが蛇口から出るスタイルで最初に乾杯します!(飲めない方は別の選べます)
ほかのアルコールも飲み放題で、開放的な空間で風を感じながら気持ちの良いひと時を過ごせます。
乗り場はカヴェヘヴェヘというパワースポットが近くなので、前後でぜひ行ってみてください。心身ともに浄化されます!
シェラトンホテルの中を突っ切っていけばすぐの待ち合わせ場所で、シェラトン近辺のホテル宿泊なら特にお勧めします!
Great experience, the staff on the boat were really personable and experienced.
Reminder to those going on the catamaran, wear shorts or something you don’t mind getting wet, no denim or something that will take. Whole to dry as you have to walk through the water to get on the boat and you have to time the stair climb with the waves.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. The instructions on where to check in were clear and there was a water tap to rinse our feet off after which was nice. This catamaran was smaller than any others I had been on which was great for easy on and off. The mai tai’s were really good too!! Much better than some of the hotel bars we have had.
The wind, the sunset, and Mai Tai!! Enjoying champagne while gazing at the streets of Honolulu, the rainbow, and the setting sun was just the best. It was an extraordinary experience. I definitely want to participate again next time! ^_^
風と夕日とマイタイ‼️ホノルルの街並み、虹、沈む夕日を眺めながらのシャンパン、もう最高でした。非日常の世界でした。次回も是非参加したいです^_^
I saw it in a travel magazine and decided to include it in our schedule. The weather was a bit bad on the day we went, but when I suddenly looked at Diamond Head, there was a rainbow over it. The sway of the yacht as we moved over the waves, everyone swaying to the music and enjoying drinks, the excitement with people from various countries, and the sunset sinking into the sea was absolutely beautiful. The night view on the way back was fantastic, and it was truly a fun two hours. Thank you to the staff of Nahoku for creating such a wonderful time.
旅行雑誌で見かけて、スケジュールに入れて見ました、私達が行った日は少し天気が悪かったのですが、ふとダイヤモンドヘッドを見るとレインボーがかかってました。波の上を進む時のヨットの揺れ、音楽に乗ってみな身体を揺らしお酒を楽しみ、様々な国の人との盛り上がり、また海に沈む夕陽は最高にビューティフルでした。帰る時は夜景が最高で本当に楽しい2時間でした。盛り上げて下さったナホクのスタッフの方本当に素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
From the crew staff to the crowd and the music the vibe was perfect!!!! I definitely had a great time!!! And the captain definitely gave us more than three drinks for sure!
About an hour before the gathering, I checked the boat's location, and when I arrived 30 minutes prior, I panicked because the boat was missing. The voucher mentioned that there might not be a boat even at the check-in time, but it also stated that due to sea conditions, the departure could be from a completely different beach. It said they would contact us individually, but since there was no international phone number, I was worried that I might have been left behind. In the end, the boat did not arrive until the departure time, and there was no shade on the beach under the blazing sun, with no restrooms nearby, so arriving too early is something to be cautious about.
However, once on board, I found a bar where you could drink freely, and later it turned into a lively club atmosphere with upbeat music (the passengers on passing boats seemed a bit taken aback), which really made me feel like I was experiencing something international! I would like to use this service again if I have the chance. Shoes are stored away, and it's barefoot on the boat. It gets quite wet, so wearing a swimsuit with a rash guard was definitely the right choice!
集合の1時間ほど前に船の位置を下見して、30分前に行ったら船がなく焦りました。
バウチャーにはチェックインの時間になっても船がないことがあるとは書いてありましたが、海況で全く違うビーチ発になることもあるとも書いてあり、個別連絡するとは書いてあるもの、海外用の電話番号もなかったためまさか置いてかれたのか?と気が気ではありませんでした。。
結局出港の時間まで船は来ず、炎天下のビーチで日陰はなく、近くにはトイレもないので、早く着きすぎるのも要注意です。
ただ、乗ってみたら気軽に飲み放題できるバーと後半はノリノリBGMのクラブ状態(すれ違った船の乗客は若干引くほど)でまさに海外を味わえた気がしますw
また機会があったらこちらを利用したいな、とは思いました。
靴は仕舞われ船上は裸足。結構濡れるので水着にラッシュで正解でした!
Fantastic firework show .The crew was amazing. Great music .took my mom for her 85th birthday and she had the time of her life. The drinks kept coming.The fireworks show was fantastic.Everyone was pleasant.Would definitely do this excursion again!
I Recommend highly.
First Hats off to Veltra! They went above and beyond to accommodate us after I chose the wrong event!
This sunset cruise was amazing! The weather was perfect the crew was fun, accommodating and the music was perfect! We could not have asked for a better evening!
Our group had a great time! However, we weren't expecting to get wet on the ride. I think that should be included in the description - as I think it's quite common. Drinks were tasty and the views of the sunset at Waikiki were excellent.
The staff's stories were interesting. The boat trip was comfortable and pleasant. The beautiful starry sky and the sight of the Purple Mountain and Taylor Comet made it memorable. The fireworks themselves were a bit lacking compared to Japanese fireworks festivals, but this is not the tour's fault.
スタッフの話が面白かったです。船は快適で気持ちの良い小旅行でした。きれいな星空とちょうど紫金山・テイラー彗星が見えて、メモラブルでした。花火自体は日本の花火大会と比べると物足りませんでしたが、これはこのツアーの責任ではありません。
I experienced cruising for the first time, and it was wonderful. The sunset was truly beautiful and moving. After heading out to sea, I was nervous about the swimming time, thinking the water might be cold, but surprisingly it wasn't and the temperature was quite pleasant (for reference, it was mid-October). However, a large towel and long sleeves are essential. I was also happy with the snack service after playing. Taking motion sickness medication beforehand was the right choice. It was a lot of fun.
初めてクルージングを体験しましたが、とても良かったです。
サンセットが本当に美しく感動でした。
沖に出た後のスイミングタイムは、水が冷たいのではないかと、ドキドキしながら入りましたが、意外にそうでもなく気持ちの良い温度でした(参考までに10月中旬です)。
ただ大きいタオル、長袖は必須です。
遊んだ後にスナックのサービスも嬉しかったです。
酔い止めは飲んでおいて正解でした。
楽しかったです。
It was a great experience. Worth the money. All the workers were very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it.
The crew are experienced and fun! They cracked jokes and worked with the atmosphere of the guests on board. Music was blasting and the drinks were flowing. They even had a photographer to capture personal or group photos for purchase! It was amazing to see the fireworks from the boat. I would highly recommend this cruise if you want to have a good time!
When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.
Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.
Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.
When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!
Yay, yay, yay! Iʻm so glad to hear you had the best best time and mahalo for such a wonderful review. We are so happy that we can provide this opportunity for people coming to visit Oahu. Congrats newlyweds! We hope we have the opportunity to host you for your 1-yr. A hui hou! Mariah
Beautiful relaxing evening. Free-flowing drinks. Thoroughly enjoyable sail.
I made a reservation to experience sailing in Hawaii for the first time. The meeting point was easy to find on the first floor of the Outrigger Reef, and we boarded from the beach about a 10-minute walk away. I don't understand English at all, but the translation app worked just fine! The crew members were very considerate, asking if I wanted a drink and if I wanted to take photos. I even saw a rainbow next to Diamond Head! It truly became a wonderful memory!
初めてのハワイで、セーリング体験したいなと思い予約して行きました
集合もわかりやすくアウトリガーリーフの1階で、歩いて10分くらいの浜辺から乗船。まったく英語がわかりませんが、翻訳アプリで大丈夫でした!クルーのお兄さんも、飲み物はいかが?や、写真撮ろうか?と気を使ってくれました!
ダイヤモンドヘッド横に虹もみえました!
ほんとに素敵な思い出になりました!
We had the best time on the Na Hoku!
The team was friendly and fun and the drinks were off the nautical charts!
The only thing that would have made it better if it was adults only!
It was awkward to have small children on a Happy Hour Sail, otherwise
it was great!
We had smooth sailing on a very comfortably outfitted catamaran.
The beauty of Oahu was enhanced by the beautiful boat and crew!
Thank you Na Hoku!

It departs from in front of Waikiki Beach, so the atmosphere is very nice. Unlike large vessels, you can feel the refreshing breeze and the sense of openness is fantastic. The music is great, and the vibe was the best.
When getting on and off the yacht, there are times when you might get wet up to your pants. Be careful.
ワイキキビーチの前から出発するので、とても雰囲気が良いです、大きい船舶と違い、風を受けながら開放感満点です、音楽もいいし、雰囲気最高でした
ヨットに乗り降りする時、ズボンのあたりまで濡れる時があります。注意しましょう。
