サンセットセーリング　ホロカイ・カタマラン号　オープンバーでの飲み放題付き！金曜日は大人限定でゆったりクルーズ＜ワイキキ発＞

Beyond my imagination! 想像以上！

Reviewed by: yagiza

It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!

For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!

想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。（おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、
何かちょっとしたスナック菓子とかあるとより楽しいかも）
４月の日の入りは、１９時！これだと、スケジュールにあった時間ではなく、サンセットがうまく見れないのかと
思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
１７：３０出港、１９：３０戻りといった具合に
２時間近くクルージングを楽しめました！
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。
私達家族５人しか日本人がおらず、船上での注意事項
（踏み入れちゃいけない場所等の説明があったらしい）も
全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で
紙でも渡してくださるといいのでは。。。と思いました。
ノリがいい音楽がたくさんかかり、
気がつけば、父まで踊りだす始末！

この価格で、フリードリンクであの楽しさは、かなりコスパいいですよ！オススメです！

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Different from the ordinary

Reviewed by: Ms. Rosie

My husband and I, had such an enchanting evening! Aha Aina is different from your typical "hula hula" type of luau. This event is authentic and very respectful. You have a wonderful storyteller "Uncle Joe", telling his stories about the hotel and his life growing up in Hawaii and how times have changed. You have tasty, mouthwatering appetizers that melt in your mouth! Delicious fruit drinks made upon your request with servers eager to assist you. This was such a wonderful change from those typical luaus that you would attend around the islands..such grand entertainment, succulent food and exceptional service! I would highly recommend this dinner show for people who want to experience what Hawaii actually has to offer!

Before getting on, make sure to use the restroom! 乗る前には・・・ﾄｲﾚをしておきましょう！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

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。

Great Experience - Thank you!

Reviewed by: Mr. John Walters

It was my first time visiting Hawaii, and I took my family to the Royal Celebration. We had a great time as a family learning, and experiencing the Hawaiian culture. It was a very unique and quiet interesting. The food was beyond my expectations, so so delicious, and the outdoor venue is perfect to watch the Waikiki Sunset, view of Diamond Head, and to watch some waves coming in to shore. Beautiful pink hotel and we can't wait to do it again in our next visit to Hawaii. It was definitely a different and once in a lifetime experience. It is not your typical Luau, this is royalty style celebration, and we loved every minute of it.

Thank you for the great experience!

Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

I went as a Maka 'ainana

Reviewed by: Kalani

Seating began a traditional ‘Oli (prayer) in the hall of the Royal Hawaiian. It was nice to know Hawaiians stick with protocol nowadays. One could almost feel as if being present at a Royal ball, after all, that is exactly what this Hotel was built for in the first place; which made the atmosphere quite unique.

As you approach the lawn and with your first drink you are invited to spooned portions of fresh Ahi Poke, Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon, and Poi. Story-teller Joe starts by introducing himself and went directly into explaining what ingredients each spoon held and how it applied to Hawaiian post-western contact life. At the same time others from the hula halau demonstrated how kapa was made, inks were produced and designs printed. Ropes were intertwined by hand and foot and other chores were explained by docent-like-ladies-in-waiting. The Pupu platter was my favorite with the skewered chicken, crab cakes, and Butterfish that melted in your mouth.

I was always terrified of boats...but this sunset cruise was the best gift my husband could have ever given me! We had so much fun, and I enjoyed the sea, from the sea! I have always been a beach lover, but sailing, WOW it's breath-taking. I would do it again if I ever have the good fortune to return. The crew made sure everyone had the best time. The drinks were great, and music too. It was one of the best times of my life. AND we could afford this one!! Thank you!!

Reviewed by: Adrian

The boat lost engine power in the middle of going back to shore. Apparently there was some water in the fuel so we ended up staying out till about 8:30 or 9:00 with screaming children. It was fun other than the engine giving out. They said it had never happened before which is probably true but nevertheless, it wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.

Since alcohol is available, all the passengers are cheerful and friendly. It's not the kind of atmosphere where you simply gaze at the sunset; instead, it feels like a lively and relaxed cruise enjoyed with Westerners.

It was so much fun! A tip: bring along your camera, a few ones to tip the bar tender and $5 to purchase the "shaker" (which is optional). And for the ladies... YES! there is a potty on board!

It was really great. On the opposite side of the setting orange sun, I could see the pure white full moon rising. On the yacht, it felt like a party with unlimited drinks and lively music as the background. It wasn't the romantic scene I had imagined; instead, it was a more aggressive atmosphere where we drank and celebrated, shouting towards the sunset. It was a fun sailing experience.

とてもよかったです。オレンジな太陽が沈む反対側では真白な満月が昇るのが見えました。ヨットの上では飲み放題でノリノリな音楽をBGMにパーティーをしている感じ。想像していたようなロマンチックなものではなく、もっとアグレッシブに飲んで騒いで夕陽にむかって叫ぶような、たのしいセーリングです。

You can still enjoy it even when it's cloudy. 曇りでも楽しめます

Reviewed by: tata

I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii, but unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, which made me quite down. However, once we cut the engine and started sailing, I felt the pleasant breeze while swaying with the waves, and my mood lifted.

After sunset, you can enjoy the night view of Waikiki from the sea. Watching Diamond Head as it darkens and the lights of the hotel district floating in the night sky was moving, especially since I wasn't expecting it!

There were about 40 participants, and I was the only Japanese person. There were parts of the announcements with jokes in English that I couldn't follow, but the staff were friendly and reached out to me, which left a good impression. Even if you don't understand English, it won't be a big problem, and it's perfectly fine to just relax while enjoying free drinks, so I think anyone can have a good time in any situation.

ハワイ到着日に参加しましたが、あいにくの曇り空でかなり気落ちしていました。ところが動力を切って帆走を始めると、波に揺れながら気持ちよい風を受けて気分も盛り上がってきました。

そして日が暮れてからは、ワイキキの夜景を海側から楽しむことができます。ダイヤモンドヘッドが暮れてゆく様子や、ホテル街のライトが夜空に浮かぶ光景は、期待していなかっただけに感動的でした！

40名ほどの参加者で日本人は僕だけでした。英語でのジョークまじりのアナウンスについていけない部分もありましたが、スタッフも声をかけてくれたりと印象はよかったです。英語がわからなくても大きな支障はないし、フリーのお酒を飲みながらただぼんやりしているだけでもＯＫなので、どんなシチュエーションでも楽しめると思います。
