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!

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。

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 got stuck on a boat

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 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。

As experienced travelers have mentioned, we were the only Japanese people on board. It was the best cruising experience amidst the English conversations. You can choose from drinks like special punch and beer, and the staff were happy to take photos for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the ocean and the sunset over the sea. The only downside was that the lively background music was old pop songs. After all, Hawaii should have Hawaiian music! For those who will participate, I recommend taking motion sickness medication. The return to Waikiki after the sunset might be a bit tough.

経験者のコメント通り、日本人は私たちだけ。英語が飛び交う中、最高のクルージングでした。飲み物も、特製のパンチやビールが選べますし、カメラのシャッターもスタッフが快く押してくれました。沖から眺めるワイキキも、海に沈むサンセットも満喫しました。残念だったのは賑やかにかかるBGMが古いポップスだったこと。やっぱハワイはハワイアンでしょ!これから参加する方はやはり乗り物酔い止めの薬を飲むことをお勧めします。サンセットのあと、ワイキキに戻るまでがちょっと辛いかもです。

First experience in Waikiki! ワイキキ沖初体験!!

Reviewed by: ありみ~

I participated in a tour on July 3rd. Since the tour location was the beach in front of the Outrigger Reef Hotel, I leisurely walked to the designated spot in the morning!

First, we each signed in before boarding the catamaran!

Most of the participants were foreigners, which really lifted my spirits!

We first headed out to the waters off Waikiki for snorkeling! The blue of the ocean is incredibly beautiful, far beyond what you see at Waikiki Beach! However, I thought there were no fish... but when the crew fed them, suddenly there were fish!!! But only black fish... There were no coral fish or anything like that. The black fish were very timid and would swim away if you got too close...

Since it was a morning catamaran tour, snorkeling early in the day was a bit chilly for us Japanese, so we got out of the water early. Compared to that, the Americans were amazing!!

After snorkeling, the catamaran set sail towards Waikiki! As we sped towards Waikiki, when the boat hit the waves, we were at the front and got splashed all over, getting completely soaked! It was quite fun!!

On the way back, we turned off the engine, and it really felt like a "catamaran cruise."

Also, it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication before boarding the catamaran! My mother, who usually doesn't get seasick, ended up feeling sick (^_^;).

7月3日にツアーに参加しました。ツアー場所がアウトリガーリーフホテル前のビーチということで、朝のんびりと散歩がてら指定場所に向かいました!!
最初に、一人一人署名をしてからカタマランに乗りました!!

ツアーに参加してる方はほとんど外国の方ばかりなので、気分も上々!!

まずワイキキ沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリング!!海の青さはワイキキビーチと比べものにならないくらい綺麗ですよ!でも、魚がいない・・・と思ったらクルーがえさをあげたら、いつの間にか魚が!!!でも黒い魚のみ・・・コーラルフィッシュなどはいませんでした。。。その黒い魚はとても臆病で近寄ると逃げちゃうんですよ・・・

朝のカタマランツアーなので、早くからのシュノーケリング・・・私たち日本人にはちょっと寒くて早めに海から上がりました。それに比べアメリカ人はすごいね!!

シュノーケリング後、カタマランはワイキキ沖へとセーリング!!ワイキキ沖に向かってスピードを出すので、船と波がぶつかると、前のほうにいた私たちはビッシャンビッシャンとしぶきが飛んできて、ずぶ濡れでした!!それが面白かったですよ!!

帰りはエンジンを切って、これぞ「カタマランクルーズ」ってなかんじでした。

また、カタマランに乗る前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうがいいですよ!普段乗り物酔いしない母が酔いましたから(^_^;)

Please enjoy your arrival day in Hawaii. ハワイ到着日にどうぞ

Reviewed by: ワイキキ

The sunset cruising on the day we arrived in Hawaii was fantastic for our family of four (two children in the second and fourth grades and my wife).

Benefit 1: It's safe for children. We dressed the kids in marine boots to prevent slipping and in towel-like clothing (a cover-up for the poolside). When boarding the yacht, they splashed in the sea up to their knees before climbing the ladder. Be careful with sneakers as they won't dry by the next morning. The boat can sway, so marine boots are recommended to avoid slipping. When the kids board, the crew members lift them up, which is reassuring. My second daughter, in the second grade, was on the net of ropes stretched in front of the mast of the catamaran. Below the rope net is the sea itself. When a few waves came, the yacht swayed, splashing water, and she happily went towards the splashes, saying it was like a roller coaster. I thought the drinks were free, but when I ordered a special cocktail with the yacht's design, it was $4. It's quite a large serving, so sharing one between two people might be better. It's a sweet tropical cocktail. By the way, all the explanations were in English. I didn't understand much, but since we were just on board, it wasn't a problem.

Benefit 2: Jet lag countermeasure. Even if you can sleep on the flight from Narita, it's only for 3-4 hours, so by the time we arrived in Hawaii around 3 PM, we started to feel tired. If you fall asleep here, you won't be able to have dinner, and you'll feel sleepy again the next afternoon. However, activities that require physical movement can be a bit tough, and activities that involve bus transfers make you fall asleep right away. So, we participated in this cruising. We enjoyed the view of Diamond Head, a symbol of Hawaii, from the yacht, felt the cool breeze and ocean spray, and had a little cocktail. After that, we slowly watched the sunset and arrived at the beach at dusk. This time we stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, and since Halekulani is right next door, we had dinner there before returning to the hotel. I recommend it for those staying in Waikiki. This was my second time on board, but there were still mostly foreigners, which added to the foreign atmosphere. Personally, I love yachts, so this was the best activity during our time in Hawaii.

ハワイ到着当日のアクティーとして最高。家族4人(小学2年と小学4年の子ども二人と家内)でサンセットクルージングに参加しました。メリット1.子どもでも安心して乗れます。子どもの服装は、滑らないようにマリンブーツを履かせ、タオル地の服(プールサイドで着る上着)にしました。ヨットに乗るときにも膝くらいまでバシャバシャ海に入ってから、ラダーを登ります。運動靴だと翌朝までに乾かないので注意。船は揺れることがあるので、すべって転ばないようにマリンブーツの方がお勧めです。子どもが乗船するときには、クルーのお兄さんが抱き上げて連れて行ってくれるので安心。小学2年の次女は双胴船のマスト前方に張ってあるロープの網の上に乗っていました。ロープの網の下はすぐ海そのもの。少し波がくると、ヨットが揺れ、ザブーンとしぶきがかかり、「ジェットコースターのようでおもしろい」と自分からしぶきのかかる方へ行き大満足。フリードリンクかなーっと思っていましたが、ヨットの模様がついている特製カクテルを頼んだところ4ドルでした。かなり量があるので、2人で1つ取った方がよいかも。甘いトロピカルカクテルです。ちなみに、説明は全て英語。殆ど分かりませんでしたが、乗っているだけなので問題なし。メリット2.時差ぼけ対策。成田からの飛行機では寝られても3~4時間なので、ハワイについて午後3時頃になると疲れが出てきます。ここで寝てしまうと夕食も取れないし、また明日も午後に眠くなったしまいます。でも、体を動かすアクティーはちょっと大変だし、バスで移動するアクティーはすぐに寝てしまいます。そこで、このクルージングに参加。ハワイのシンボル(?)ダイアモンドヘッドをヨットから眺め、涼しい風とオーシャンシャワー(波しぶき)をあびて、カクテルをちょっとだけも飲みます。その後、サンセットをゆっくりみた後、夕暮れのビーチに到着。今回はロイヤルハワイアンに泊まったのですが、すぐ隣がハレクラニなので、そこで夕食をとりホテルへ戻りました。ワイキキにお泊まりの方にはお勧めです。今回が2回目の乗船ですが日本人にはまだあってません。外人さんばっかりで、外国気分にもひたれていい感じです。私は個人的にヨットが好きなので、今回のハワイの中で最高のアクティでした。

Easy American Cruise お手軽なアメリカンクルーズ

Reviewed by: アニカ

I thought I would want to ride a yacht when I saw the blue ocean in Hawaii, so I made a reservation in advance. I told my companions that being in the sun would quickly alleviate any jet lag, using it as an excuse to choose this activity on the first day. The deep blue of the ocean, the refreshing breeze, and the strong sun were beautiful even in the evening. What surprised me was that the majority of the passengers were Americans, or rather, white people. They were lively and cheerful, which lifted my spirits and made me feel very happy. I had planned to enjoy the sunset while relaxing. Well, this is part of the journey. By the way, the check-in was on the sandy beach of Waikiki, which was somewhat confusing, and I felt a bit anxious about whether I was in the right place. Also, having to go barefoot was different from a regular cruise. Since it was a small boat, there was a toilet, but it was almost like there wasn't one. I wouldn't say I'm a boat enthusiast, but you won't find a yacht with such high cost performance anywhere else.

ハワイの青い海を見たらヨットに乗りたくなるだろうなと思っていたので事前に予約しておきました。太陽に当たれば時差ぼけもすぐに解消すると同行者に言ってこのアクティビティを初日に選ぶ口実にしました。期待通りの海の藍さと風の爽快さ、強い太陽も夕方だから綺麗。予想と違ったのは、アメリカ人というか白人が乗客の大半だったこと。ワイワイがやがやと明るいこと、明るいこと、気持ちが高ぶってとても楽しい気分になりました。予定は、夕陽を見ながらたそがれようかと思っていたのでした。まあ、これも旅か。そうそう、ワイキキビーチの砂浜でチェックインなのでなんとなくわかりにくく、これでいいのかと少々不安だったことと、裸足にならないといけないことが普通のクルーズと違うことでしょうか。小さな船だからトイレはあるけどないようなもんかな。船好きだからというわけではないけれど、こんなにコストパフォーマンスが高いヨットもないですよ。

Easy but highly satisfying sailing. お手軽だけど、満足度の高いセイリング

Reviewed by: 1級船舶免許保持者!?

This time, I participated in the sunset cruise. I have been on various boats in the past, but the best part of this cruise was how close we were to the sea! You can really feel the surface of the water and the waves right there. The boat has seats, but at the front, there’s just a sturdy net stretched out, and you can see the water below you from there, allowing you to sit directly on it. At first, it’s a bit scary, but once you get used to it, it feels really nice, and I highly recommend it. However, be careful if you sit at the very front, as you might get splashed by the waves (^^).

I usually get seasick, but I didn’t feel any motion sickness at all on this open, breezy cruise.

For those who will participate in the future, here’s some information:
- You board the boat directly from the sandy beach, so your feet will get wet. It’s better to wear shoes that you don’t mind getting wet.
- It can be hot when the sun is out, but it gets chilly on the way back. I think it’s a good idea to bring a long-sleeve shirt.
- On the way back, there’s a place to wash your feet before entering the hotel from the beach. Having a towel is convenient.
- As for the restroom... it takes some courage to use it. The restroom door is a bit see-through, so I think it’s better for women to assume there isn’t one.
- Alcohol is served, so you’ll be asked to show something that proves your age before boarding. It might be handy to bring a copy of your passport.

今回はサンセットクルーズの方に参加しました。
クルーズは、過去にも大小とりどりの船に乗ったことがありますが、このクルーズでの一番のよかったところは「海が近い!」。海面と波がすぐそこに感じられます。船にはいすはありますが、前の方には、床というか底というか、丈夫な網が張られただけで、見下ろすと海面が見える場所があり、そこに直接座れるようになっています。最初は怖いですが、これが慣れるとかなり気持ちがよく、お薦めです。但し、本当に前の方に座ると、波を直接浴びることもありますのでご用心ください(^^)。
私は、船には弱い方ですが、この開放感あふれ、風が気持ちのよいクルーズでは全く船酔いしませんでした。

今後参加される方のための情報として、
・船に乗るのは砂浜から直接乗りますので、足が水につかります。
 ぬれてもいい靴を履いていった方がいいです。
・日が出ているときは暑いですが、帰りは冷えます。長袖は持参した方がいいと思います。
・帰り、浜辺からホテルの中に入る際に、足を洗う場所があります。タオル1枚あると便利です。
・トイレ。。。ここに入るには勇気がいります。トイレのドアは少々透けていますので、女性の方はトイレはないものと思っていた方がいいと思います。
・アルコールが出るので、乗船前に年齢がわかるものを見せるよう言われます。
 パスポートのコピーとか持っていくと、便利かもしれません。
