Waikiki
I participated on the last day of my stay. I took part in various activities, but this one felt the most Hawaiian. The waves weren't too high, and the surface of the water felt very close, which was pleasant! The staff were also very kind and accommodating.
滞在中の最終日に参加しました。他のアクティビティにもいろいろ参加しましたが、一番ハワイらしかったような気がします。波もそれほど高くなくて、海面がすぐ近くに感じられて気持ちよかったです!スタッフの方にも親切に対応していただきました。
We gathered at 2:30 PM and departed at 3 PM! We were told to be punctual, but when I rushed in at 2:30, I got a Hawaiian response: "Oh, just sitting on the beach." It made me feel the pressure of time that Japanese people often experience.
We left a little after 3 PM and enjoyed about an hour of fun. At first, we started the engine to set sail, but once we were out at sea, we raised the sails and let the wind take us. The views of Hawaii were a different experience compared to the scenery seen from larger boats during whale watching. On the yacht, various cocktails and beers were available, and enjoying a drink while feeling the sun and wind was incredibly refreshing! We ventured further out than I expected and enjoyed a panoramic view of Honolulu. I definitely plan to participate again on my next visit to Hawaii.
Considering that the day after we boarded, the tsunami from the Chile earthquake prevented access to the sea, we were very lucky.
2時半集合、3時出発! 時間厳守! との事でしたが、2時半に走って行ってら「あ。ビーチで座っていて~」 っとハワイアンな答えが! ついつい時間に追われてしまっている日本人を感じてしまいました。
3時過ぎに出発し、約1時間程 楽しませてもらいました。
最初はエンジンをかけて出航していましたが、沖に出ると後は帆を張り風まかせ。 ホエールウォッチングなどの大きな船から見る景色とは、また一味違う ハワイの景色を楽しませてもらいました。 ヨット内では、数種類のカクテル、ビールが販売されていて、太陽&風 を感じながらのアルコールは格段に美味しい♪ 思ってたよりも沖に出てホノルルの景色を一望して楽しませてもらいました。 次回のハワイ訪問時にも 是非 参加させてもらう予定です。
私たちが乗船した翌日は、チリ地震の津波で海に近寄れなかったのを考えると、とっても運が良かったのかも。
We boarded a yacht from the calm Waikiki Beach.
Onboard with us were a couple who had been swimming near the yacht before departure, and a relaxed foreign couple enjoying their retirement.
The yacht is equipped with seats, but we chose to sit on the net that can hold people, peering into the sea as we slowly set off!
I thought we would be gently swaying while looking into the water and gazing at Waikiki Beach, but to my surprise!
We sped off towards the vast ocean, feeling the wind and splashes of water all over, which instantly boosted our excitement!
I couldn't help but hope, "Maybe we'll see dolphins or whales!" as we ventured further out.
Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins or whales, but when we returned near Waikiki Beach, we encountered a sea turtle!
Isn't the sea turtle a symbol of happiness?? Watching it poke its head out and swim around was incredibly soothing!
For those who, like me, have never been on a yacht, I think just being on it is plenty of fun. You should definitely give it a try!
穏やかなワイキキビーチからヨットに乗り込みます。
一緒に乗船したのは、出発前までヨットの近くで
泳いでいたカップルや、リタイヤして悠々自適な
カンジの外国人夫婦などなど。
ヨットにはイスも備え付けられているのだけど、
人が乗っても大丈夫なネットの上に座って、
海の中を覗きながら、ゆっくりと出発進行!
「穏やかに揺られながら、海の中を覗き込んだり、
ワイキキビーチを眺めたりするんだろうな~」と
思いきや!
すっごい勢いで大海原に向かって走っていくので、
風や水飛沫を全身に感じることができて一気に
テンションアップ↑↑
「イルカとかクジラとか見れないかね~」と
期待しちゃうくらい沖にでます。
残念ながらイルカもクジラも見れなかったですが、
ワイキキビーチ近くまで帰ってきたときに、
ウミガメに遭遇しました!
ウミガメは幸せの象徴でしたっけ??
頭をチョコンと出して、プカプカ泳いでるのを
間近で眺めて、すごーく癒されました!
私のように、ヨットに乗った経験がない方は、
乗るだけでも十分楽しいと思います。
一度体験されてみては?
This time, I wanted to feel the blue sea of Hawaii even closer and fully enjoy it, so my partner and I participated in the Outrigger Catamaran plan. At first, we both had some anxiety, but once we were out at sea, that anxiety disappeared in an instant. In a word, we were very satisfied. The departure from Waikiki Beach was wonderful, with both the sea and the scenery being spectacular. We were blessed with good weather, enjoying the warm sunshine and pleasant breeze together, and the time flew by.
What left the biggest impression on me was being able to connect with Hawaii's nature. Looking at the blue sea, we could observe schools of fish and turtles up close, and since we could bring cameras and videos, we could perfectly capture those memories. Also, the view of Honolulu from the sea felt different and special.
The staff were very accommodating and kind to us as Japanese visitors, for which we are grateful.
I recommend this plan to anyone who wants to feel the blue sea of Hawaii more closely and connect with nature. We would also like to participate in the Outrigger Catamaran plan again.
今回、ハワイの青い海をもっともっと身近に感じたい。そして満喫したいという思いから私と彼女の二人でアウトリガー・ カタマラン号のプランに参加しました。初めはお互い不安もありましたがその不安も海に出れば一瞬にして消え去りました。一言でいうと大満足でした。ワイキキビ−チから出発して海、景色ともに素晴らしかったからです。天候にも恵まれ暖かい日差しと気持ちのいい風を二人で浴びながらあっという間の時間でした。
一番印象に残っているのはハワイの自然に触れられたことです。青い海に目をやると魚の群れや亀を身近で観察できカメラやビデオも持ち込めるのでバッチリ思い出として記録できます。また、海から見るホノルルの風景も一味違うものだと思いました。
スタッフの方の対応も良く日本人の私達にもとても親切に対応していただき感謝しています。
ハワイの青い海をもっと身近に感じたい。また自然に触れたい方にはお勧めのプランです。私たちもまた参アウトリガ−・ カタマラン号プランに参加したいと思います。
The meeting point, which is said to be hard to find, was at the Sheraton, so it was easy to spot the bright blue beach umbrellas (the meeting point) after walking along the beach for just 2 or 3 minutes. The staff there (two people) were also fluent in Japanese and very enjoyable to be around, which was a great help. Although Japanese is not spoken on the boat, I still had a wonderful time. Fortunately, I was able to see both turtles and whales. There were only two Japanese participants, but it really felt like being abroad. I think this tour is suitable for everyone from children to the elderly, and it offers a close-up experience of the sea. Since participation is barefoot, it's best to wear appropriate footwear.
わかりにくいと言われている集合場所も宿泊がシャラトンだったので浜辺を歩いて2・3分で真っ青なビーチパラソル(集合場所)もすぐわかりました。そこのスタッフ(二人)も日本語が上手で、それにとても楽しい方で助かりました。船上では日本語は通じませんが、でも十分楽しめました。ラッキーなことに、カメもクジラも見ることができました。日本人の参加は二人だけでしたが、海外だという実感がわきました。このツアーは子供さんからお年寄りまで参加でき、身近に海を体感できるツアーだと思います。はだしでの参加ですので履き物はそれなりがいいですよ。
I participated in the 3 PM departure on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid jet lag. The staff seemed to be quite skilled at providing explanations in Japanese during check-in, making it easy to understand. Their bright and cheerful demeanor really made me feel like I was in Hawaii!
When boarding the boat, everyone must leave their footwear in a designated box. Also, be careful as you might get splashed up to your knees if the waves hit while boarding. The day we participated had excellent weather, but it was quite windy on the boat and felt rather cool. As many have mentioned, I recommend bringing a jacket.
I was a bit anxious since I was with my parents, who are nearly 70, but we were able to see a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle, which made them both very happy. My mother, who usually gets seasick, seemed fine with the rocking of this yacht. The drinks sold on board are reasonably priced as well.
This was my sixth time in Hawaii, and I found myself regretting not participating in this activity before. When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely rely on your services again.
ハワイに到着した日の15時出発に参加しました。
おかげで時差ボケ防止になりました。
スタッフの方は、チェックイン時の日本語の説明は得意のようで、わかりやすかったです。また、明るくひょうきんな対応は、ハワイに来た♪って思えます。
船に乗り込むときには、全員、履物を専用のBOXに預けます。また、運が悪いと乗り込む際に波に襲われ膝上まで濡れてしまうのでご注意下さい。
私たちが参加した日は、非常に天気が良かったのですが、船上は風が強くかなり涼しかったです。みなさんが書かれているように上着を持参されることをお勧めします。
70歳近い両親と参加したため少々不安でしたが、イルカの群れやウミガメを見ることができ、二人ともとても喜んでくれました。船に弱い母もこのヨットの揺れは大丈夫だったみたいです。
船上で販売されている飲み物も良心的な値段で楽しめます。
ハワイは6回目だったのですが、なぜ今まで参加しなかったのか少々悔やんだりして。。。
次にハワイに行くときは、またお世話になります。
At first, I mistakenly confused Outrigger with Outrigger Reef, and I thought it was inconvenient that there was no map on the voucher. I ran along the beach to get to my destination, but I ended up being late. When I spoke to the staff about it, they kindly allowed me to join the next cruise, which was a few hours later.
There were only two of us Japanese people, but everyone was very friendly, and it was so much fun! The staff's service was great, and I was thrilled to view Waikiki Beach from the sea. The captain's explanation allowed us to see as far as Kauai Island, and on the way back, we threw food to attract baby sharks that swam close to the yacht, and we even got to see a baby whale up close.
Cruising on the yacht was amazing! I definitely want to participate again next time.
最初アウトリガーとアウトリガー・リーフとを間違えてバウチャーに地図が無いのは不便だな~と思いながらビーチを走って目的の場所へ行ったものの時間に遅れてしまいどうしようかと思ってスタッフの人にお話したら次のクルーズに参加させてくれるとの事で数時間後のクルーズに参加しました。
日本人は私たち2人だけでしたがみなさんフレンドリーにしてくださりとっても楽しかったです!!
スタッフの対応も良くてワイキキビーチを海側から眺めて感激しキャプテンの説明で遠くにカウアイ島まで見えて帰還途中には餌を投げてサメの子供が群れをなしてヨットに近づいたりクジラの赤ちゃんまで間近で見ることができました。
ヨットでのクルージングはさいこ~でした!!
次回もまた参加したいと思いました。
It's an affordable tour that lasts an hour and a half. My husband and I rode on a catamaran for the first time, and it was stable with no rocking, making it suitable for older couples and families with small children. The view of Waikiki Beach from offshore was a different sight, and we took a lot of photos. Looking down at the water, we saw turtles and schools of fish swimming, and when the staff threw bread, the fish jumped out of the water with white splashes. Then, when the staff pointed and shouted "Whale!", we looked into the distance and, lo and behold, there was a whale showing its tail. When we stopped offshore, we could jump into the sea from the catamaran, which felt great. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were charming and kind, taking photos with us. There were also soft drinks ($1) and beer or champagne ($3) available, and we toasted on the boat. The hour and a half flew by, but it was a very enjoyable tour.
1時間半で格安でお手頃のツアーです。
私たち夫婦は、初めてカタマランというものに乗りましたが、揺れもなく安定感のあるヨットのためか、高齢のカップルや小さな子供連れの家族も一緒でした。
沖合から眺めるワイキキビーチも一味違う光景で、写真をたくさん撮りました。
水面を見下ろすと亀や魚の群れが泳いでおり、スタッフがパンを投げると魚は白いしぶきを上げて水面を飛び跳ねていました。そしてスタッフが「ホエール!」と言いながら指さす先の遠くを見ると、な!、なんと!クジラがテールを出していました。
沖合で止まるとカタマランから海に飛び込むこともできて、とても気持良かったです。
スタッフは、日本語は通じませんが、愛嬌があっていっしょに写真を撮ってくれたりして親切でした。
また、ソフトドリンク(1$)やビール・シャンパン(3$)もあり、船上で乾杯しました。
あっという間の1時間半でしたが、とても気持いいツアーでした。
On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I participated in this activity! It was a bit chilly, but the weather was nice, and the ocean was sparkling and very beautiful. I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us, and all the crew members only spoke English, so we couldn't understand what they were saying and felt a bit out of place. However, once we set off, it was incredibly refreshing, just as the name suggests, and the view from the ocean was stunning. The lower part of the yacht was a net, so we could see the ocean directly below us, which was fun. Plus, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins! It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and it was so moving! We even got to see them jumping. Along the way, we were served a Hawaiian drink called Mai Tai, so we were just full of good luck! I think it's a great deal to have such an experience for this price, so I highly recommend it! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!
ハワイ到着日に友人と2人で参加しました!
ちょっと寒かったですが天気も良く、海もキラキラしていてとってもきれいでした♪
日本人の参加者がたくさんいると思っていたら私たちだけで、しかもクルーの人たちもみんな英語しか話していなかったので何を言っているのかさっぱり分からずちょっと私たちだけ浮いていたかも・・・。
でも、出発してみると名前の通りすごく爽快で、海から見える景色もとってもきれいでした☆ヨットの下の部分がネットになっているので、真下に海が見れて楽しかったです。しかもラッキーなことにイルカの群れに遭遇しました!!野生のイルカを見たのは初めてだったので感動です!!!ジャンプしてるところも見れました♪途中、ハワイのお酒マイタイもサービスして頂き、ラッキーずくしでした♪この値段でこんな体験ができるのはとてもお得だと思うのでお勧めです!!またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います☆
I participated in the 3 PM departure. It's great that there are afternoon departures available. It's perfect for getting used to the Hawaiian climate while enjoying the pleasant sea breeze when you're just relaxing on the day of arrival. Engaging in intense activities on the arrival day can leave you tired for the rest of your trip. I recommend it because you can indulge in a luxurious feeling at this price!
3時出発に参加しました。午後発があるというのがいいですよね。到着日にボーとしているときに心地よい海風をうけてハワイの気候に身体をならすのにはぴったりです。到着日に激しいアクティビィテイは残りの日まで疲れが残りますからね。この価格でゴージャスな気分に浸れるからおすすめです!
I participated at 3:00 PM on the day of my arrival on Oahu. I arrived from the Big Island at 11:30 AM, so I had plenty of time. At 2:30 PM, I went to the beach side of the Outrigger Reef on the Beach Hotel, where there were similar umbrellas for boat tours, and I quickly found the sign for the Outrigger Catamaran with blue letters and a staff member. He spoke Japanese well. (I've attached a photo for clarity.) It was my first time on a catamaran, so I was really looking forward to it. I was a bit worried since the boat was on the smaller side, but there was little rocking, and cruising while enjoying the pleasant breeze and views of Waikiki and Diamond Head was incredibly enjoyable—I lost track of time. The crew was friendly and interacted with everyone; there were only my wife and me as Japanese guests, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling out of place. Along the way, we saw whales and fed fish, so there was never a dull moment. They also made cocktails on board, which everyone seemed to enjoy. I definitely want to go again when I visit Oahu. It's suitable for children too.
オアフ島、到着日の15:00に参加しました。ハワイ島から11:30に着いたので時間的にも余裕がありました。14:30分にアウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチホテルのビーチ側にいくと同じような船の案内のパラソルがありますが青い文字のアウトリガー・ カタマラン号の看板が出てるところにおにいさんがいてすぐにわかりました。日本語も上手でしたよ。(わかるように写真を添えています。)カタマランは初めてなのでとても楽しみにしていました。船は弱いほうなので少し心配していましたが揺れも少なく心地よい風とワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドなどの景色を見ながらのクルージングはなんとも言い難い心地よさで時間のたつのも忘れるくらいです。クルーの人もみんなに声をかけてくれて日本人は私と妻だけでしたが浮くこともなく楽しむことができました。途中クジラを見たり、魚にえさをあげたりと飽きることなく楽しむことができました。中ではカクテルを作ってくれます。外国の人はみんなおいしそうに飲んでいました。オアフに来た時はまたぜひ乗りに行きたいと思います。子供さんも大丈夫ですよ。
This is my second time. This time there was snorkeling as well. There were a lot of turtles, and I swam with them.
2回目です。今回はシュノーケリングもありました。
亀がいっぱいいて、一緒に泳ぎました。
The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.
約30?名ほどの満席に近い状態で、出港しました。
夕日が、落ちる間際が本当にきれいでした。が、乗った早々トイレを我慢出来なくなり大変でした。しばらく我慢をしていましたが・・・簡易トイレがあることが分からず・・・
外人さんは、飲んで騒いで・・・本当によく話をしていました。見習いたいです。
I have been on a catamaran several times and I really love it. This time, I had my father, who is over 60, ride it for the first time. Just before departure, thick clouds appeared, which was quite disappointing, but it seems that the charm of the catamaran cutting through the wind on the open sea was conveyed to my father. While the sunset time is nice, I personally recommend the daytime more. Under the sun, with a delicious drink in hand, relaxing to cheerful music and the rhythm of the waves... it's the best! The staff at the reception can speak Japanese.
カタマランは何度か乗ったことがあり、すごく気に入ってます。
今回は60過ぎの父にも初めて乗ってもらいました。
出発寸前に厚い雲が出てきてしまい、かなり残念でしたが、風を切って海原を走るカタマランの良さは、父にも伝わったようです。
サンセットの時間もいいですが、私としては昼間の方がお勧めです。
太陽の下、おいしいドリンク片手に陽気な音楽と波のリズムに身を任せてのんびり…最高!
受付の人は日本語が話せます。
This cruise was a great way to start our two week vacation in Hawaii!
We had a great time although the way the gentlemen at the check in referred to it as the booze cruise, you had wave down a crewmen in order to get a drink or a refill!
We had a great sunset and a full moon rising which made it extra special.
In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.
ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを1度は体験してみたい!ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう!』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。
I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.
他の人の書き込みに屋上でやったとありましたが、私たちのときは広い中庭でやり、非常に開放感がありよかったです。海も見えます。
ショーもいろいろな踊りがあり、メリハリがあり楽しかったです。司会は英語で観客が何人か参加する場面も有りました。(外国の方はのりがよく盛り上がっていました)
ファイヤーダンスはすごかったです!
最後に出口にダンサーが何人かいて一緒に写真をとってもらうことができました。
The cruise was great!
The staff was very efficient, and helpful too.
Ambiance onboard was great, with music and a unique openbar!
I recommand this cruise to everyone, couple or friends!
Free alcohol (unlimited) and the ocean? Awesome time! One of the best values on my trip. Paid WAY more for WAY less one some other ones!
My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.
This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.
今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした!!
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。
ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。
We participated as a couple.
We went to the meeting place near the boarding area, but there were no landmarks, and we felt a bit anxious while waiting. …Then, as mentioned in previous posts, the staff were the guys sitting under the umbrella right behind the boarding area. (I think it's quite hard to find.)
On the day of the event, the weather was nice, and once we set off, the wind felt refreshing! Since you do get splashed with quite a bit of water, I recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting wet. Your belongings can be stored inside the catamaran, so it's safe to bring them along. The view of Waikiki from out at sea was absolutely wonderful. We even saw a beautiful rainbow, which made us very satisfied. It's a pity we didn't get to see any dolphins.
It was quite bumpy, but it was thrilling, and I enjoyed it without feeling seasick!☆
夫婦で参加しました。
待ち合わせ場所の、乗り場近くに行きましたが、何も目印がなく、少し不安になりながら待ってました。
…すると、以前の書き込みにもありましたが、乗り場のすぐ後ろのパラソルの下に座っているおじさん達が係の人でした。(かなりわかりにくいと思います。)
当日は、天気もよく、出発すると風が気持ちよくって爽快でした!
結構水しぶきはかかってしまいますので、ホント濡れてもいい格好がオススメです。
荷物は、カタマランの中で預かってもらえるので、持って行っても安心です。
沖の方から見るワイキキの景色がとても素敵でした。
キレイな虹も見れ、大満足です。
イルカ達に会えなかったのが残念ですね。
かなり揺れてましたが、スリル満点で、酔う事もなく楽しめました☆
We participated on the afternoon of our arrival in Hawaii. We had a 3-year-old with us, but the whole family enjoyed it. Listening to Hawaiian music while sipping margaritas made us feel great! It was wonderful to enjoy the Hawaiian sea at the start of our trip, and I'm glad we made the reservation for the first day!
ハワイ到着日の午後に参加しました。
3歳の子連れでしたが、家族で楽しめました。
ハワイアンミュージックを聴きながら、マルガリータを飲んで、気分が良かったです☆
旅のスタートにハワイの海を楽しめたし、初日に予約しておいて良かったです!
Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.
I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.
The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.
ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。
開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。
This time, two women participated. Since it was September, we were blessed with good weather. One of us joined because of Alan's campaign, so I think we got a bit of a bonus there. We participated in the 3 PM departure, which was nice because the sun wasn't too strong. Depending on the day, the sailing departures are at 11 AM, 1 PM, and 3 PM. There are also tours where you can stop the catamaran offshore for snorkeling, and a sunset sail starting at 5 PM, which I recommend!
The location is easy to find; just look for the friendly old man standing there as a landmark. Once we head offshore, you can enjoy drinks on the catamaran. I think it was around $5... they also have champagne and cocktails. The captain and staff were really nice!
I believe we were on a tour that usually doesn’t stop offshore, but since there were mostly a small number of foreigners, we stopped at a point with fish, and everyone changed into swimsuits and jumped in. As expected, foreigners know how to have fun! With such surprises, I definitely recommend wearing a swimsuit for participation. Everyone should join and enjoy the view of Waikiki from the sea!
今回は女性二人の参加。9月といこともあり天気にも恵まれました。
今回は一人はアランのキャンペーン参加で参加したのでちょっと得したかな?
私達が参加したのは日差しがきつくない3時出発で参加しました。登場は曜日にもよるけど11時、1時、3時の出発がセーリングです。他には沖合いでカタマランを止めシュノーケリングをするツアーや5時からのサンセットセイルもあるようでお勧めですよ!
場所はすぐにわかります。やさしいおじさんがたっているのが目印です。
沖合いにでますとカタマランの上でお酒が飲めます。確か5ドルくらいだったような・・・シャンパンやカクテルもあります。
キャプテンやスタッフをとてもいい感じ!
私達は通常沖合いには止まらないツアーだっと思いますが、小人数の外人さんが殆どだったので、魚のいるポイントで船を止めて皆水着になって飛び込んでいました。
さすが・・・外人さんは楽しみ方を知ってますね!
そんなサプライズもあるので是非水着を着用しての参加がお勧めです。
皆さんも是非参加して海から見るワイキキを眺めてみてはいかが・・・
I arrived early at the Outrigger Hotel, but I couldn't find the catamaran, which made me a bit anxious. Around 12:30, when check-in started, a yacht that looked like it appeared. Check-in was on the beach.
The weather was perfect, and it was wonderful to enjoy the pleasant breeze while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head. There were a few splashes from the waves, but it was just the right amount.
There were about a dozen participants, including an elderly lady and a family with a baby, but the staff paid attention to everyone, which was nice.
You can either dangle your feet over the net or sit in a chair. Since we were sailing, there was no engine noise, and I was able to enjoy the experience comfortably.
In the latter half, I caught a glimpse of some dolphins. I think an hour and a half is just the right amount of time. If it were any longer, it might get boring, so it was a perfectly enjoyable tour that anyone could easily join.
アウトリガーホテルに早めに到着しましたが、カタマランは見当たらず、若干不安に。受付開始時間12:30ちょうど位にそれらしきヨットが現れる。受付はビーチで。
天候は申し分のない日で、気持ちのよい風をうけながら、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは最高でした。若干波しぶきがかかりましたが、気持ちのよい程度。
参加人数は10数人で、かなり高齢のおばあさん、ベビーを連れたファミリーもいましたが、スタッフはそれぞれに気を配っていい感じでした。
ネットの部分で足を投げ出してもいいですし、イスに座ることもできます。帆走をしますので、エンジン音がすることもなく、快適に楽しむことが出来ました。
後半、イルカの姿が少しだけ見られました。一時間半という時間はちょうどよいと思います。あまり長くても飽きてしまうので、気軽に参加することのできるちょうど良いツアーでした。
We had such a blast. The crew was great and the music that they played was amazing yet perfect. It was such a nice way to relax and enjoy the beach. We recommend this to anyone who is looking for something relaxing to do besides sitting on the beach. They do offer drinks at a small fee. If you want something to do for 1 1/2 hours then this is for you. The cool part is that once you are in the ocean you can sit on the netting in the front and really enjoy the sites of Waikiki.
I had to wait in line for what felt like forever to enter the venue. It seemed that taking photos for each group at the entrance was the cause of the congestion, but couldn't they find a better way to manage that? The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.
会場に入るのにこれでもかというくらいならんで待たされた。はいるところで1グループごとに写真をとっていたのでそれが混雑の原因と思われますがもうちょっとなんとかならないものでしょうか?食事もホテルで出す料理なのでもうちょっとなんとかならないのでしょうか?まずかったです。ショーの内容もシェラトンカイウラニのショーの方がハワイの歴史をたどっていて面白かったです。全体的にいまいちでした。
On the day of arrival, I had some time before check-in, so I participated. It was a very comfortable stimulation for my slightly dazed mind. The boat, moving refreshingly with just the wind, allows you to feel the wind, sea, and sun directly on your body, unlike larger ships. The hour-long duration was just right.
到着した日、チェックインまでに時間があったので、参加しました。少しぼーっとした頭に、とても快適な刺激でした。風だけで、爽快に進んでいく船は、他の大きな船と違って、体に直接風や海や太陽を感じます。1時間ほどの時間も丁度よかったです。
The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.
料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。
