90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

Fun experience

Reviewed by: Heather H.

We enjoyed the sunset cruise even with a not great sunset (it was cloudy and little rainy). The crew was fun and we had fun getting to know the others on the boat with us. Definitely recommend this sunset cruise.

2-Hour Waikiki Sunset Sail & Swim Experience - Three Tiki Catamaran Cruise

Family-friendly, magical and fun

Reviewed by: Cheryl

Our experience aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was nothing short of magical! From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly kind staff. I was nervous having a toddler but everyone assured us our son was welcomed. They even had a place store our stroller.

One of the first things that struck us was how immaculately clean the boat was. It was evident that cleanliness and hygiene were top priorities for the crew.

The ride itself was an absolute blast! Having never been on a catamaran, it did not disappoint! As we cruised along, we were treated to breathtaking views of the sunset casting its warm hues over the Honolulu skyline, with the iconic silhouette of Diamond Head in the background. We even got to anchor and jump into the ocean.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was how family-friendly it was. The crew went above and beyond to ensure my little one was comfortable even though he was crying. They were so incredibly nice!

Overall, our time aboard the Three Tiki Catamaran was an absolute delight. We can't recommend it enough for families looking to create unforgettable memories in the stunning backdrop of Honolulu. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making our experience so memorable!

Join without hesitation! It's as fun as a party. If you're confident in your swimming, you'll enjoy it even more! 迷わず参加して! パーティーみたいに楽しい。泳ぎに自身あれば更に楽しめる!

Reviewed by: ロビンゴ

We anchored offshore until sunset and dived from the boat. Participants jumped in one after another, boldly and without hesitation, doing flips and more. Both the bikini-clad ladies and the older gentlemen with floaties joined in. It felt like a party with lively music playing.

While there were many people who didn't dive, just watching was exciting and a lot of fun. My son, who is a good swimmer, mustered up the courage to do a commemorative dive.

There were no other Japanese people, but there were no feelings of discomfort or issues at all. As long as you fill out the application form diligently, you'll be fine. There's no obligation to purchase unnecessary drinks. The parking lot is hard to find. You can walk from Waikiki. If you want to snorkel, make sure to bring your own gear, as they mentioned there are no rentals available for sunset.

サンセットまでの時間沖合で停泊し、船上からダイブしまくり。
参加者は豪快に、躊躇なく、宙返りなどしながら次々飛び込んでいきます。ビキニのお姉さんも、フローティングをつけたおじさんも。ノリノリの音楽に合わせてパーティーみたいでした。
飛び込まない人も沢山いますが見ているだけでも楽しくて大興奮でとても楽しいです。水泳得意な息子も勇気を出して記念ダイブしました。
日本人は他にいませんでしたがたくに違和感も問題もなし。申込フォームさえ頑張れば大丈夫です。
不要なドリンク購入なども強制はありません。駐車場は見つけにくいです。ワイキキからなら歩いても行けます。シュノーケルしたかったら持参して。貸し出しはサンセットには無いとのことでした。

90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

Whale watching tour

Reviewed by: Rebecca Mominee

We took this vessel out to watch whales. The staff were awesome. Provided a lot of great information of life as a whale. The water was a bit choppy so there was a bit of rocking. After we disembarked, the Captain spent a good 10-15 minutes out of his busy schedule to talk with us.
I highly recommend the tour!

ホエールウォッチ 早朝からサンセットまで選べる時間帯!スナック付き&アルコール含むドリンク購入可<ワイキキ発/12/15~4/15>

Pay attention to the meeting place. 集合場所に注意

Reviewed by: ワハハ

I had a reservation for the last event of the season on April 15, 2024, but due to rain, the boat could not go out. I was contacted and given the option to reschedule for another day or receive a refund. Since I had some flexibility in my itinerary, I requested to reschedule for April 16 if possible, and they agreed to operate the boat on that day as well!

I wanted my 2-year-old son, who loves whales and dolphins, to see these natural creatures, so I rescheduled. On the day of the trip, it was sunny and we were able to set sail, and we saw both whales and dolphins, which was wonderful! The English guide provided thorough information, and it was an interesting experience!

However, be careful as the address for the meeting point provided in the voucher and on the website was incorrect. If you rely on the address, you will end up at the far end of the harbor. The correct meeting point is at Pink Sails Waikiki, which you can find by searching; it’s located just before the harbor, where you turn right at the first road (with hotels on your right and continuing straight past the boats on your left). If you are traveling with small children, it can be quite a hassle, so please be cautious!

今季最後の開催日である2024/4/15に予約をしていましたが、雨天で船が出せないことに。別日に振替か返金かを選べると連絡がありました。
旅程に余裕があったため、可能なら4/16に振り替えたいと連絡すると、予定になかった4/16も船を出してくれることに!
クジラとイルカが好きな2歳の息子に自然の生き物を見せたかったので、振り替えました。当日は無事に晴れて出航できたし、クジラもイルカも見られてとてもよかったです!
英語ガイドも丁寧な内容で、興味深い体験が出来ました!

ただ、バウチャーやべるとら上で事前に連絡されていた集合場所の住所が違っていたので要注意です。
住所を頼りに行くと、ハーバーの一番奥に到着してしまいます。正しい集合場所はピンクセイルズワイキキで検索して出てくる、ハーバーの1番手前の道を右に曲がったところ(右手にホテル郡、左に船を見て真っ直ぐ進んだ先)です。
小さいお子さん連れの場合、かなりの労力を浪費することになるのでご注意ください!

Waikiki Sunset Cruise & Friday Fireworks Tour - Three Tiki Sailing Catamaran

Our vacation ended with Fireworks!!

Reviewed by: Jackie

The best way to end our Mother Daughter vacation is with a sunset & fireworks on the water!
Three Tiki did a great job reassuring our experience even though the weather was not great. Captain Mark? did a great job sailing and keeping us safe and mostly dry! LOL
The crew was great from start to finish. Friendly and accommodating they provided a cooler and ice for our BYOB.
The location was easy to find and had a great staging area with food trucks and firepits that were great after our cruise.
Overall, very happy with our experience and will definitely refer others to enjoy a memorable evening with Three Tikis

Waikiki Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open Bar Included - Holokai Catamaran

Sunset Perfection

Reviewed by: Kraig

From start to finish the staff was all engaging and professional. They worked through any language barriers and got everyone set up for the cruise. The size of the boat and number of people on board was just right, intimate but still lively and fun. There was plenty of room onboard to move around and never felt crowded. The views were gorgeous throughout. When the water got a little choppy, the back of the boat was still calm. Just a great time made better by the crew, would definitely go again.

It was incredibly fun. めちゃくちゃ楽しい

Reviewed by: 写真はエーと言って取りましょう

There were only the two of us, a couple, among the Japanese people, and at first, we were quietly speaking English. The atmosphere was great from the beginning, and we started with a toast with Mai Tai. Before the sunset, we unexpectedly enjoyed whale watching, which made the experience even more exciting. The captain was very kind, allowing us to take photos together at the helm. During the final sunset, everyone got so carried away that they didn't care about anything else. Although I don't speak much English, a few people nearby reached out to us, and we were able to communicate and take pictures together, making it a very enjoyable time for both of us after a long while.

日本人は私たち夫婦の2人だけで、始めは英語が飛び交っておとなしくしていました。始めから雰囲気がよく、まずはマイタイで乾杯。サンセットの前に思いもよらないクジラウォッチングで、一段と盛り上がりました。写真も船長の操縦席で一緒に取らせてもらったりととても親切です。最後のサンセットのときは、盛り上がりすぎてみんなそんなのお構いなしでした。英語はあまり話せませんが、近くの何組かの人たちに声掛けしてもらい、コミニュケーションも取れ一緒に写メったりと久々に夫婦ともどもとても楽しい時間が過ごせました。

I was able to see whales and dolphins! 鯨とイルカもみれました!

Reviewed by: すずき

I was able to see a pod of dolphins swimming alongside us for a long time. The whales were quite elusive, but we managed to spot one in the distance after continuing to move the boat. It seems that there are significant differences in sightings depending on the day.

Along with sunscreen, motion sickness medication is essential. When heading out to search for whales, the waves can be quite rough, and it can be pretty scary until you get used to it. There were even children who fell inside the boat. The guide was speaking in English and kept cracking quite a few dad jokes. I recommend this for those who aren't afraid of the ocean's swaying!

イルカの群れも並走し長く見ることができました。
鯨はなかなかあらわれずでしたが、
がんばって船を動かしつづけ最後遠くにですが、見ることができました。
日によって見れる時と見れない時の差がはげしいようです。

日焼け止めとともに、
酔い止めは必須です。鯨をさがし沖にむかいつきすすむときは揺れが激しく、
慣れるまではかなり怖いです。中で転んでいる子供もいました。

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

Reviewed by: まつ★★

The scenery and atmosphere were fantastic. The Mai Tai was very delicious and since it was all-you-can-drink, I had quite a few. Everyone was cheerful and having a great time. When boarding, you enter the water a little, so shorter clothes might be better. Many people wore shorts. It felt a bit chilly, so I think it's good to have something to throw on. It was truly a wonderful time. I plan to use this again.

景色も雰囲気も最高でした。
マイタイがとても美味しく飲み放題なのでたくさん頂きました。
皆酔っぱらって陽気で楽しかったです。
乗船するとき海に少し入るので、短めの服がいいかも。
ショートパンツの方が多かったです。
肌寒く感じるので羽織るものがあったほうがいいと思います。
本当に素敵な時間です。

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「アハアイナ」ワイキキ中心!ダイアモンドヘッドを望む絶景オーシャン・フロントでのディナーショー<ロイヤル・ハワイアン内>

It was the best luau! 最高のルアウでした!

Reviewed by: ちぃちぃ

If you're looking to see a hula show, I had my mind set on the Aha Aina at the Royal Hawaiian. Of course, I signed up for the front row seating plan. Since the price difference between regular and front row seats is minimal, I recommend going for the front row.

The show itself was simply amazing! With mesmerizing dances, comedic performances, passionate dances, and powerful fire dances, there was never a dull moment—it flew by in no time.

The dinner included an appetizer, a main course, and a generous dessert platter, so much that I couldn't finish it all. As expected from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, everything was delicious. The ticket also included three drink vouchers, so I thoroughly enjoyed Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiis, and Piña Coladas.

フラのショーを見るなら、ロイアルハワイアンのアハ アイナと決めていました。もちろん、前列席確約プランで申し込み。普通席と前列席との価格差が少ないので、前列確約をおすすめします。
ショー自体は、素晴らしいの一言でした!うっとりするダンスやコミカルなお芝居、情熱的なダンスや力強いファイヤーダンス等々、飽きる暇もなく、あっという間でした。
ディナーは、前菜とメインにデザートの盛り合わせとボリュームたっぷりで、食べきれないほど。さすが、ロイヤルハワイアンホテル、どれも美味しかったです。ドリンクも3杯分のチケットが付いていたので、マイタイ、ブルーハワイ、ピニャコラーダなど十分楽しめました。

Reviewed by: ぽん

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした!
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高!パーティーも最高!クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました!

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます!ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです!

Whale watching cruise ホエールウォッチングクルーズ

Reviewed by: ルー

There were only two of us participating from Japan. Everything was explained in fast-paced English, which I couldn't understand at all, but that was expected, so it wasn't a problem. I was satisfied to see the whale's tail from a distance a few times, which was also within my expectations. However, when snacks were being distributed, they didn't even acknowledge us, and when we were getting off, they kept looking at our hands, probably checking if we would leave a tip? I got off the boat feeling disappointed.

日本人の参加は私達2人だけでした。説明など全て早口の英語で全くわからなかったけど、想定内の事なので問題なし。クジラも遠くに尻尾が見える程度でこれも想定内でしたので、何度か見る事ができたので満足でした。ただ、スナックを配ばる際、私達2人には声もかけてもらえず、降りる時、ずっと手元を見られていて、チップ入れるか確認してたのかな?残念な思いで下船しました。

[Beltora Staff Experience] Amazing luck! I got to see a whale! 【ベルトラスタッフ体験談】強運に感動!クジラに会えました!

Reviewed by: S.VELTRA

When it comes to winter in Hawaii, whale watching is definitely a highlight! I participated in early February 2024.

I took an Uber from my hotel to the meeting point for the first morning tour. During this time of year, it can get a bit cool in the mornings and evenings, so having a light jacket was a good idea. Upon arriving at the meeting point right next to the Prince Hotel, I found many guests from the mainland USA already lined up. (It seemed there were few Asian guests.) After giving my name to a staff member in a PINK SAILS uniform, I completed the check-in process. Once the boat was ready, we were guided to board.

The interior of the boat is spacious, but seats at the front and on the upper deck are taken in the order of boarding. If you hesitate, you might miss out on a good seat, so I recommend getting in line early!

I was a bit anxious about seasickness, but the waves were calm on the day I participated. Since it was a catamaran, there was little rocking, and I could enjoy the pleasant sea breeze. We departed the harbor and moved a little off the coast of Waikiki. The boat stopped near Hilton's beach, and the whale watching began. Fortunately, during my tour, we spotted a mother and calf whale within just a few minutes, coming close enough to see them clearly. We maintained a respectful distance to avoid stressing the whales, allowing us to observe their fins and spouts for a while.

The onboard guide spoke entirely in English, providing detailed explanations about whale behavior, including parenting methods, as well as the direction of where to look for the whales. While good listening skills in English are necessary, there were many interesting stories that were very informative. The guide also indicated the direction of the whales (like 11 o'clock or 3 o'clock), and all the guests from the mainland were looking in the same direction. Even if someone missed the English explanation, they could follow the gaze of the other guests to spot the whales!

However, since the color of the whales' backs can blend in with the ocean, it might be difficult to see them from a distance. If you're prepared, bringing binoculars could help you see better.

After enjoying the whale watching, a pod of dolphins appeared in the distance. While they didn't jump high, they surfaced and showed their fins, and compared to the whales, the dolphins were more playful and adorable, which was a delightful surprise. Just when I thought I was already satisfied with the whales, the excitement continued! A white woman sitting next to me kept exclaiming "Oh my god" in delight, and the little children were also visibly thrilled.

Seeing such precious wildlife off the coast of Waikiki, surrounded by tall buildings, truly showcases the unique beauty of Hawaii's nature. It seems there are days when you might not see anything depending on the wave conditions and the whales' mood, so I feel incredibly grateful for my good fortune.

I'm really glad I participated. Thank you to all the staff!

冬のハワイの風物詩といえば、やっぱりホエールウォッチングですね!2024年2月初旬に参加しました。

朝一番の回、ホテルからUberで集合場所まで移動。この時期のハワイは朝晩少し涼しくなりますので、薄手の上着があって良かったです。プリンスホテル真横の集合場所に到着すると、既にたくさんの米国本土のお客様が並んでいました。(アジア系のゲストは少ない様子でした。)
PINK SAILSさんの制服を着たスタッフさんに名前を伝えればチェックイン完了です。船の準備が整ったところで乗船の案内をいただきました。
船内は広々していますが、前の席や上のデッキ等は乗船した順で取られていきます。遠慮していると良い席に座れなくなりますので、早めに列に並んでおくのがお勧めです。!

船酔いしないか少しヒヤヒヤしていましたが、私が参加した日は波も穏やか。カタマラン船なので船の揺れも少なく、気持ち良い潮風を感じることもできました。港を出発しワイキキ沖を少し進みます。ヒルトンのビーチが見える辺りで船が止まり、クジラ探しがスタート。私の参加回は強運なことに数分の創作でクジラの親子が見つかり、ギリギリ見えるくらいの距離まで接近してくれました。親子のストレスにならないようにボートとクジラの距離を保ちながら、しばらくクジラの背びれや潮吹きの様子を見ることができました。

船内のガイドは全て英語ですが、クジラの見える方向に加えて子育ての仕方などもクジラの生態も丁寧に説明してくれます。英語のリスニング力が必要ですが、興味深い話も多く、大変参考になりました。
またクジラが見える場所については、何時の方向(11時の方向、3時の方向等)で教えてくれますし、一緒に乗っているアメリカ本土のお客さんが全員同じ方向を向いてくれます。英語ガイドを聞き逃した人も、周りのお客さんに合わせて視線を向ければ、クジラの姿に気がつくはず…です!

なお、クジラの背中と海の色が似ているため、なかなか遠くからは見えづらい場合もあると思います。準備ができる方は望遠鏡などを持っていくとよく見えるかもしれません。

一通りクジラウォッチングを楽しんだ後、遠くにイルカの群れが現れてました。大きなジャンプこそなかったですが、鼻を出してくれたり、背びれを見せてくれたり、クジラに比べてアグレッシブでかわいいイルカたちも見られ感動でした。クジラだけでも大満足だったところに嬉しいサプライズ!横に乗っていた白人女性の方は嬉しさのあまり「Oh my god」と言い続け、小さなお子さんたちも大喜びの様子でした。

ビルが立ち並ぶワイキキ沖でこんなに貴重な野生動物が見られるなんて、ハワイの大自然は唯一無二ですね。
波の状況やクジラの気分によっては見られない日もあるようなので、自身の強運には驚きと感謝ばかり。

参加でき本当に良かったです。スタッフの皆様ありがとうございました!

  • かわいいピンク色のボートで出発します。

  • 朝のダイヤモンドヘッドもきれいですね

  • イルカの群れにも遭遇

Whale watching cruise ホエールウォッチングクルーズ

Reviewed by: さっかん

It was great to see the spouts and tails of two whales multiple times in the big rolling waves. The cruise ship kept following the whales, allowing us to see them several times. It would have been perfect to see them a bit closer, but the timing was just right. It was also nice to view Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the sea. The cost performance is good.

大きなうねり波の中で、2頭のクジラの塩吹き、潜った時の尾ひれを何回も見れて大変良かった。
クルーズ船がずーっとクジラを追ってくれて、何度も見ることが出来た。
もう少し近くで見れれば最高だったが、時間的にも丁度良かった。
ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを海から眺めるのも良かった。
コスパはいいですね。

Fortunately, I encountered a whale. 運良く、くじらに遭遇しました

Reviewed by: よみたけ

Since I was staying at Hawaiian Village, it was easy to find the location of Pink Sails in front of Prince Waikiki, about a 15-minute walk. We set sail at 8 AM, and during the two-hour trip, we were able to see the spouts from a distance several times. When we turned around, we encountered a whale swimming slowly parallel to our boat, and later, two more whales swam by. Finally, we saw one of them slowly sinking its tail as if to say goodbye. I think a smaller boat would have allowed us to see them even closer, but I felt very lucky. I bought motion sickness medication at ABC Mart and took it beforehand. If you plan to go, I recommend bringing some from Japan.

ハワイアンビレッジに宿泊していたので、徒歩15分くらいで、プリンスワイキキ前のピンク・セイルズの場所はわかりやすかったです。朝8時に出航し、2時間の間に遠目に潮吹きを何度か見られて、Uターンしたころに、船にゆっくりと並行するくじらと遭遇、そのあとも2頭のくじらが泳ぎ去り、最後にさよならをするようにゆっくりとしっぽを沈めていくのを見ることが出来ました。もう少し小さな船のほうが、もっと間近で見られていたようにですが、とても運が良かったと思います。酔い止めはABCマートで買い事前に飲みました。予定しているのなら日本からの持参をお勧めします。

I was able to see whales, turtles, and dolphins! However, it was quite rocky. クジラ、カメ、イルカが見れました!但しかなり揺れます

Reviewed by: kazu

The weather was cloudy with light rain starting partway through, but I was fortunate enough to spot whales three times, seeing their spouts, backs, and tails. It was an English tour, but whenever a whale appeared, someone would shout "Whale! Right?" so it wasn't a problem. I was at the very front of the boat and was thrilled to see turtles and dolphins swimming nearby. However, the boat was quite rocky, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication. I also noticed some people feeling groggy inside the boat.

Additionally, it can be surprisingly cold on the water, so a jacket or a towel is essential. There is a directive to print out a waiver on paper, but it seemed that you could also read a QR code at the reception and respond that way. For those who are not confident in English, I think it would be fine to sign the printed paper and bring it along.

I hope everyone has a great experience!

天候は曇りで途中から小雨が降るなど恵まれませんでしたが、クジラには気付いただけで3回、塩吹き、背中、尾びれまで見ることが出来ました。英語ツアーでしたがクジラがでるとどなたかがWhale!right などと叫ぶので問題なかったです。船の一番前で見ていたところ、カメやイルカが泳ぐのも身近に見れて大満足。ただし、かなり揺れがあったので酔い止めを飲まれることを強くおすすめします。船内でグロッキー状態の方も見かけました。
また海上は意外と寒いので上着やバスタオルなど羽織物も必須です。
なお、宣誓書を紙でプリントアウトしていくよう指示がありますが、当日受付でQRコードを読んで回答してもよいようでした。英語苦手な方は印刷した紙にサインしてお持ちになればよいかと思います。
みなさんの体験がよいものでありますように
