Waikiki
Despite issues initially finding the slip that we took off from, it was a wonderful night of fun at sea
Everything from the booking to the sail and everything in between was well done and an adventure
We saw tons of turtles and the staff and crew were awesome.
So glad we booked the sunset cruise. We had such a good time and the cast/crew were amazing. They were very attentive, fun and G even played a great photographer for our group photos. Highly recommended. Would love to sail again if we are ever in HI.
We had a great time. It is a great boat. The staff is wonderful. Don’t even hesitate to book this wonderful cruise! It was our favorite evening of our whole Hawaiian vacation.
Highly recommend this BYOB cocktail sail! Even though the weather wasn't super ideal, the boat crew still made us comfortable and catered to our needs. That included giving us cups for the alcohol we brought or providing ideal camera ops. It is a very low key activity, but what originally drew me to it was the BYOB option. Only two other couples and one small group of girls were present, so COVID rules were adequately followed. The boat is also big enough in that we were spaced out well. The things that really stood out for me from this experience was the animal spotting (saw a turtle and whale) and the crew's excellent attitudes. They made us feel right at home on the boat. Thank you for the good times!
So, we NEVER post reviews.....but this one we had too. We went on Thursday, Feb 11th, 2021 at 5pm.
First off, we got caught in traffic and were running late. They made sure we got there. Once we set sail, the entire crew was unbelievable. The views and whale watching was incredible. But to be honest, the best part was the crew. They may seem young, but the skipper and her crew knew exactly what they were doing. They were entertaining and high energy, and brought the fun out of everyone. They made sure the drinks were available, and they were always professional. But at the same time, they brought that youthful energy to the deck and it made the night of sailing perfect. Cheers...
And whatever you do....do NOT leave the food that was there in containers to sit. It literally was one of the best teriyaki chicken dishes we have ever had. If the bug bosses are reading this....hang on to this crew.
Not only in Hawaii, but it also joyfully introduces the various types of dances found on the islands of Polynesia. It was amazing to see so many different kinds beyond just hula dance. (It might not be suitable for those who are only interested in hula dance?) The venue can be a bit difficult to find, so I recommend asking plenty of questions to those around you.
ハワイにとどまらず、ポリネシアの各島でどのようなダンスがされているか楽しく紹介をしてくれます。フラダンス以外に、こんなにたくさんの種類がみられるのすごかったです。(フラダンスのみでよい方にはちょっと不向きかも?)
会場が分かりにくいので回りのかたにたくさん質問することをお勧めします。
This cruise was a very good time, the crew was very attentive and friendly, and it was a beautiful trip out on the water. Our cruise even had several whale sightings and even a one-in-a-lifetime view of the whales breaching close to the boat. 100% would do again!
Captain John and his crew provided us with an amazing time filled with beautiful views of Waikiki, Diamondhead and the sunset from the comfort of a catamaran. The crew was also helpful pointing out turtles, whales and other wildlife when they were present. The option to order food for the trip was helpful and the menu options were great! The crew made the trip enjoyable from beginning to end. This is a five-star experience!
Amazing!!! 10/10 recommend! Staff was amazing, food was amazing-the overall experience was awesome! Will definitely do again. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Had an amazing night, saw dolphins! Wasn’t sure what to expect but definitely worth it, wonderful experience!
Went on the 1 1/2 hours sunset cruise with Captain Johnny and it was great. We enjoyed the trip and the sunset view was amazing. Tons of pictures and lots of fun. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommending this trip.
Great experience. It is worth the price. I've never been the ocean that far away from shore.
I celebrated my 30th birthday on 12/21. My bf and I had an amazing time. We brought a bottle of champagne and chips. Watched the sunset together. The captain and his crew were very friendly. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!
This was a beautiful cruise with excellent customer service. Captain Johnny was the best. He called to help to provide directions and he made the trip a wonderful experience. He and his crew were great and the food was excellent. It was a wonderful evening that could not be matched. 5 star!!
Super fun experience! Very romantic even with a baby. I live on the island and want to do that again!
I really enjoyed the buffet before the show! The hula dance during the buffet was entertaining and got me excited before the show even started. I was also allowed to take photos during the show, and I was able to take pictures with the performers at the end, which made for great memories. It was amazing!
ショーの前のビュッフェもとても楽しめました!
ビュッフェ中にフラダンスで楽しませて下さって、ショーが始まる前からワクワクできました。
ショー中も写真を撮っていいとのことと、最後に出演されていた方と写真も撮れていい思い出になりました。最高でした!
This was my first trip to Hawaii. Since I was there, I thought it would be nice to see a show, so I booked this place based on good reviews.
First, the food. The buffet-style dinner had a wide variety of options, including meat, fish, and cakes, and everything was very delicious. During the meal, they shared stories about history and we were able to watch a simple show.
After dinner, we moved to a room with a stage. Our seats were in the middle of the front row on the second floor, so we had a great view. The show included impersonations, a fire show, and hula dancing.
After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos.
Both the food and the show were amazing!
初めてのハワイ旅行。せっかくなので、ショーを見たいなぁと思い、口コミが良かったこちらを予約しました。
まずは、ご飯。
ビュッフェスタイルの夜ご飯は、肉、魚、ケーキなど種類が多く、どれもとても美味しかったです。
食事中は歴史の話をしてくれたり、簡単なショーを見ることが出来ました。
食事が終わると、ステージがある部屋に移動。
ショーは2階席の1番前の真ん中くらいでしたので、凄く良く見えました。
ショーは、モノマネやファイヤーショー、フラダンスがありました。
ショーが終わると記念写真を撮ることが出来ました。
ご飯もショーも最高でした‼
I attended the show on March 19. My stay lasted 20 minutes. It was not held on the rooftop of the Hilton, but in a large hall inside the hotel. Given the impact of COVID-19, the governor of Hawaii has announced that gatherings should not be crowded, so I was shocked to see around 150 to 200 people packed together. I don't know if it was the organizer's decision or the hotel's, but I think it was a wrong judgment. Honestly, since it wasn't on the rooftop, I would like a refund, but I have given up on that possibility.
3/19日のショーにいかしてもらいました。
滞在時間は20分でした。
場所がヒルトンの屋上では無く。ホテル内の大きなホールでしました。
コロナの影響で密集したらダメとハワイの州知事も発表してるのにまさか150人〜200人ぐらいが密集してるのを見てゾッとしました。
主催側の判断なのかホテル側の判断かわかりませんが、間違った判断をしたなと思いました。
正直屋上じゃなかったのでお金を返してほしいですが、無理だろうなとあきらめています。
The quality of the show was incredible. I thought it would mainly feature hula dancing, but there were also opera-like performances and fire dances, all of which exceeded my expectations and were so much fun that I felt emotional and almost cried at the end.
The hula dance depicted the evolution from the 1940s to modern hula, which was great. I saw a fire dance live for the first time, and it was amazing; I definitely want everyone to see it live.
There were also many beautiful men and women, and the women, in particular, were sexy and their dancing was sharp, which kept my eyes glued to the stage. The food was delicious as well. This is definitely one of the places I want to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii. Lastly, you can also take photos and get autographs.
ショーのクオリティーが物凄く、フラダンスがメインなのかと思っていたのですが、歌劇のようなショーや、ファイヤーダンスなど、どれも創造以上に最高で楽しく、終わった時は感動して涙が出そうでした。
フラダンスは1940年代くらいから現代のフラダンスまでの過程をショーで描いていたのでよかったです。
ファイヤーダンスは初めて生で見ましたが、凄い、是非生で見てもらいたい。
また美男美女が多く、特に女性はセクシーでダンスもキレキレなので目が釘付けになってしまいました。
料理も美味しかったです。次もハワイに行ったときは必ず行きたい場所の一つです。最後に写真撮影やサインももらえます。
This well-run tour took us to a place known as Turtle Canyon a few hundred meters off of Waikiki where sea turtles come to get cleaned by algae eating fish.
There were a couple of dozen of varying ages (judging by their sizes) and though touching is prohibited, it was easy to get close enough that you could have.
Sharp, amusing crew, well maintained and clean masks, snorkels, and fins provided, and cold local beer.
A great combination.
I made a reservation for 1:00 PM on the day of my arrival in Hawaii. I wanted my family, who are visiting Hawaii for the first time, to get a concrete image of the scale of Waikiki, the location of our hotel, and Diamond Head, so this was a perfect choice to grasp the overall view from the ocean.
Before participating, I read reviews and thought it would be a participatory event with a rap-style BGM playing throughout, which might explain the low number of Japanese participants. However, it was completely different. You can enjoy it at your own pace, so there's no need to worry. The captain did tell jokes in English to the participants at the beginning, but that was just at the start. During the trip, he was very friendly, handling the sales and drinks, and occasionally pointing out, "You can see a turtle over there." I can't even remember if there was any BGM.
In addition to alcohol, there were about five types of soft drinks (canned juices) available for $3 each. I bought the pineapple juice, which was delicious.
As we headed out to sea, we moved against the waves, which caused some up-and-down rocking and heightened the excitement. We went to a position where we could see Diamond Head Lighthouse well, so the distance traveled was relatively long. On the way back to shore, it was almost completely calm, allowing us to enjoy the scenery peacefully.
When disembarking, there was a suggestion to leave a tip in a container if you liked the experience.
Additionally, before boarding, they take a photo of each group with the boat and Diamond Head in the background. At disembarkation, they encourage you to purchase a 2L size photo as a simple album for $20. While purchasing is optional, I think it's better to place your bags and footwear in a spot that won't be in the frame if you're considering buying. We bought it, and it was funny because everyone was holding their sandals up in a "banzai" pose.
Also, the ladder to board the boat is at the front. If you want to get splashed with more water, I recommend the front. On Oahu, you can usually hear Japanese being spoken on various optional tours, but this tour allows you to experience being abroad in a good way, away from Japanese.
ハワイ到着当日の13:00を予約しました。初めてハワイを訪れた家族のためにワイキキの規模感や泊まるホテルの場所、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど具体的にイメージしてもらいたく、沖から全体をつかんでもらうには、これが大当たりでした。
参加する前にこちらのレビューを拝見し、勝手にラップ調のBGMガンガンで終始英語の参加型イベントかな?だから日本人の参加が少ないのかな?など勝手に思っていましたが全然違いました。自分のペースで楽しめるので心配不要です。確かにキャプテンが参加者に英語で、ジョークを話していましたが、最初だけです。途中はセールの操作とドリンク対応、たまに「あの辺にカメが見えるよ」などの案内でとてもフレンドリーでした。BGMもあったかどうか記憶が無いくらいです。
アルコールのほかソフトドリンク(缶ジュース)も1缶$3で5種類くらいありました。最初に聞き取れたパイナップルジュースを購入しましたが、これがまた美味かった。
沖に向かっていくときは波に逆らって進むので上下に揺れ、テンションが上がります。ダイヤモンドヘッド灯台が良く見える位置まで向かったので割と移動距離も長めです。岸に戻る時は、一転ほとんど揺れないので、落ち着いて景色を堪能できます。
下船時に「良かったらそこの入れ物にチップをよろしく」的な話があります。
なお、乗る前に参加グループごとに船とダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮ってくれます。下船時に2Lサイズの写真を見開きの簡易アルバムとして$20で購入を勧めてきます。購入は任意ですが、購入を考える方は荷物や履物は写らない場所に置いた方がいいと思います。私どもは購入したのですが、全員サンダルを手に持ってバンザイしているので笑えます。
それから船は乗る時のハシゴがある方が前です。水しぶきを多めに浴びたい方は前がお勧めです。
オアフ島でのオプショナルツアーは、必ずと言っていいほど、どこかしらから日本語が聞こえてきますが、こちらのツアーは良い意味で日本語と離れることができ海外に来たことを実感できます。
I was looking forward to it since I am learning hula. It was great that the show was in the hotel where I was staying, so it was close by. However, I didn't know that I needed to exchange the voucher for tickets, so even though I lined up early, I had to go through the process, which made me late. The food was also great; I enjoyed a variety of Hawaiian dishes, from vegetables to meat and dessert. The live performances, hula, and fire knife dance were all very impressive.
フラを習っているので、楽しみにしていました。
宿泊ホテルの中でのショーなので近くて良かったです。
但し、バウチャーからチケットに交換するのを知らなかったので、早くに並んでいたのに手続きしに行き、その分遅くなりました。
食事も、野菜からお肉、デザートまでハワイの料理が色々食べれて良かったです。
ライブ演奏やフラ、ファイヤーナイフダンスすべて見応えありました。
We participated as a family with members in their teens, twenties, forties, and seventies. The buffet before the show, including the hula dance experience, was a lot of fun. The dinner lasted about an hour, and there was a wide variety of desserts, so we left feeling full. The first drink included a stylish Mai Tai cocktail, and the second drink was $10. Everyone enjoyed the show together. If I could wish for something, it would be that there were a few more songs that the younger ones know to make it perfect. I was also happy that they were willing to take photos with us after the show. It became a wonderful memory.
10代、20代、40代、70代の家族で参加しました。
ショーの前のビュッフェの時、フラダンス体験等。こちらがかなり楽しかったです。
1時間ほどのディナーですが、デザートも豊富でお腹いっぱいになりました。
飲み物は最初の一杯はマイタイのお洒落なカクテルが含まれ、2杯目からは10ドルでした。
ショーも皆で楽しめました。
欲を言うならば…若い子たちが知ってる音楽ももう少しあれば完璧だなぁと思いました。
終わった後の写真撮影も快く応じてくれて嬉しかったです。
とてもいい思い出になりました。
Our driver( Larry ) was funny, entertaining and informative, which he blends together that got the crowd laughing, intrigued and bouncing questions back. He was prompt, professional and made the tour. The bus was comfortable and when the pickup changed not by the company but by the city Veltra contacted us by phone, after trying to reach us by email to make sure we didn’t miss our pickup, so 5 stars all around.
Dinner was buffet style, but it was so delicious that it didn't feel like a buffet at all. I was able to enjoy a cute original Mai Tai. There’s also a non-alcoholic Mai Tai available, so those who don’t drink can feel comfortable.
While eating, we got to watch hula dancing, and in the second half of dinner, there was a hula lesson, which made for a wonderful experience. The show was from the second-floor seats, but we were in the middle and had a great view. The performers even came right up to us, and I was moved to receive a towel from them.
I would love to go see it again. Highly recommended!!!
Dinnerはビュッフェスタイルでしたが、ビュッフェとは思えない程の美味しさで最高でした。
お酒も可愛いオリジナルマイタイが飲めました。ノンアルコールマイタイも飲めるので、お酒が飲めない方でも安心です。
また食べながらフラダンスも見れて、
Dinnerの後半にはフラレッスンもあり、とてもいい体験になりました。
ショーは、2階席でしたが真ん中でとてもいい席でした。またパフォーマーも目の前まで来てくれて、タオルもいただき感動です。
また観に行きたいと思いました。
オススメです!!!
Thank you very much for attending. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
We watched the show from the golden seats with four friends. The performance, including the kahiko, was really enjoyable. I think it was worth the price. I would have been happier if there were a bit more variety in the food, but I did leave feeling full. I definitely plan to bring my family next time and watch the show again.
友達4人で、ゴールデンシートからの観覧
ショーは、カヒコなどもあり男性のパフォーマンスがとっても
楽しかったです。お値段に見合うだけの見ごたえは、あると思います。
食事が、もう少しいろいろな種類があれば嬉しかったけれど
お腹いっぱいには、なりました。
次、家族を連れてきた時も、ぜひ観覧しようと思います
Unfortunately, it was held indoors due to strong winds. It's just bad luck. There's no helping it. The indoor setting lacked the excitement. The standard seats were quite far away. The show at a certain indoor pool in Japan was more impressive.
It was helpful that children could go and get the buffet food. Also, it was great to see the fire show, which I thought we wouldn't be able to see indoors.
あいにくの強風で室内での開催となりました。これは運ですね。仕方ないです。室内での開催は、迫力に欠けます。スタンダード席からは遠かったです。日本の某室内プールのショーの方が迫力がありますした。
ブッフェ料理は、子供から取りに行けたのは助かりました。また、室内では見れないと思っていたファイヤーショーが見れたのは良かったです。
Our guide Kahleo was phenomenal! He made sure we enjoyed ourselves while remembering that this is a somber trip.
We had a fantastic lunch as well!
Shuttle pick up and drop off were seamless. The perfect amount of time at the Bay to get through admissions, snorkel, float, sun and snack! The gear worked well and fit like a glove.
