Waikiki
It was my first experience on a catamaran, and it was very comfortable. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the boat was amazing, and I was able to take postcard-like photos. The ocean was also very beautiful.
After finishing the morning sightseeing and taking a leisurely walk along the beach, I joined this cruise and then enjoyed some shopping. I feel that just adding this one-hour cruise made a huge difference in my satisfaction for the day. I'm glad I participated.
初めてのカタマラン船体験でしたが、とても乗り心地がよかったですね。船から見るダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキの景色が最高で、ポストカードのような写真が撮れましたし。海もとてもきれいでした。
午前の観光が終って、海辺とかゆっくり散歩した後にこのクルーズに参加、その後ショッピングを楽しみました。この1時間のクルーズが入るだけで、その日の満足度が全然違ったな~と思います。参加してよかったです。
The gradually changing colors of the sea were wonderful. The food was also very delicious, and the Spirit of Aloha was a great yacht. Above all, the staff were very welcoming, which made me feel at ease. I had been looking forward to this since before leaving Japan, and it exceeded my expectations. Watching the sunset from the edge of the boat with a glass in hand felt like a scene from a movie, and it was delightful. I think I might get hooked on this (laughs).
だんだん変る海の色が素敵でした。お料理もとてもおいしかったし、スピリット・オブ・アロハ号もとてもよいヨットでした。何よりスタッフの方がアットホームで、安心できました。日本を出発する前からとても楽しみにしていたのですが、予想以上によかったです。グラス片手に船縁で夕陽を眺めたら映画のワンシーンのようで、気持ちよかったです。
やみつきになりそうです(笑)
It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.
今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした!ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火!船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。
Actually, I had never been on a cruise before, and my first cruise turned out to be in Hawaii. I thought a smaller boat would be better than a big ship, so we discussed it and chose this cruise from the website. The catamaran also felt very Hawaiian.
It was my first experience feeling how nice it is to sail through the sea with the sea breeze. Looking at the land from the sea gave me a strange feeling, like, "Oh, I was just over there, and now I'm looking at it from the water." The crew members were very kind and made it enjoyable for us.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Next time, I definitely want to join a sunset cruise plan.
実は今までクルーズってしたことがなく、初めてのクルーズがハワイになってしまったんです。大きな船よりも小さいボートっぽいのがいいな、と思ってみんなで相談してホームページからこのクルーズを選びました。カタマラン船っていうのもハワイっぽかったし。
潮風を受けて海を進むのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて初めての体験でした。海から陸を眺めるのも、「ああ、さっきまであそこにいたのに、今は海から眺めているんだな」って不思議な感覚でした。船員のスタッフの方々がとても親切で楽しませてくれました。
あっという間に1時間が経ってしまいました。
今度は是非夕日を眺めるクルーズプランに参加したいです。
I wanted to express my gratitude and share my experience. It was really wonderful. The sunset was amazing, and the view of the lights on Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful. The food was delicious, and everything was great. I'm so glad I participated! The refreshing sea breeze was pleasant, and I savored my happiness. Thank you so much to the staff on the boat who took care of us.
感謝したくて体験談投稿しました。
とってもよかったです。サンセットも素晴らしかったし、海から眺める灯りの点るワイキキビーチもきれいで、食事もおいしかったし、何もかもよかったです。
参加してほんとよかった!吹く潮風も心地よくて、幸せを噛み締めました。
お世話して下さった船のスタッフの方々、本当にありがとうございました。
I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!
The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!
初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動!
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした!
サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです!
I participated on the same day I arrived in Hawaii. The flight was long, so I was a bit tired, but the refreshing sea breeze and the beautiful ocean completely blew away my fatigue.
I was glad to enjoy the Hawaiian sea on the cruise right after arriving in Hawaii. The staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere.
The cleanliness and beauty of the ship (maybe it was new?) also left a good impression.
Overall, everything was great.
ハワイに到着したその日に参加しました。飛行機が長かったので、少々疲れていましたが、潮風が気持ちよく、海がキレイだったので、すっかり疲れも吹っ飛びました。
ハワイに行ってまずクルーズでハワイの海を楽しめてよかったです。
スタッフの方々が明るくて盛り上げてくれたのも、楽しめました。
船が清潔できれいだった(新しいのかな?)のも、好印象でした。
とにかく全てにおいてよかったです。
I made a reservation because I wanted to watch the sunset over the sea, and I'm so glad I did.
The gentle waves, the sea breeze, the sunset sinking beyond the horizon, and the white boat all created an amazing atmosphere—it was the best.
Being out on the sea, away from the beach, felt like I was having the sunset all to myself; there’s no greater luxury than that.
The food was delicious, and everyone on board, including the staff, was so nice, which allowed me to truly enjoy this cruise.
It was a wonderful memory.
夕日を海の上で眺めたいと思い、予約しましたが、申し込んでよかったです。
波の揺れと、潮風と、水平線の彼方に沈んでいく夕日と、白い船と、何もかもがムードを盛り上げて、最高でした。
ビーチから離れて海の上にいると、夕日を独り占めしているようで、これ以上の贅沢はないですね。
食事もおいしく、乗り合わせた人達も、船のスタッフも、みないい人ばかりだったので、このクルーズを心から楽しむことが出来ました。
いい思い出です。
I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.
I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.
We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.
And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.
申し込んで正解、最高でした。
ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。
沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。
そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。
The blue sea and the blue sky! It was the best day. I actually thought a sunset cruise would be nice, but due to scheduling, I ended up going with this one. But it was great!
Believe it or not, I saw dolphins! While I was gazing at the sea, I spotted them below... I was so excited! A sea with wild dolphins swimming is truly wonderful! I'm really glad I signed up. The view of Hawaii from the sea was also very beautiful, and even though it was just a one-hour cruise, I felt very fulfilled.
Next time, I want to sign up for a sunset cruise as well. I hope the captain is the same as this time...
青い海に青い空!最高の日でした。本当はサンセットクルーズもいいな、と思ったのですが、予定の関係で、こちらになりました。でも、よかったんです!
なんと、イルカが見えたんです!
海を眺めていたら、下の方をすーっと…
もう大興奮でした!野生のイルカが泳ぐ海なんて、ホント、すてきですね!
申し込んでよかったーって思いました。海の上から眺めるハワイの景色もとってもきれいで、たった1時間のクルーズなのに、充実した気持ちでした。
今度はサンセットクルーズも申し込みたいです。その時も、今回と同じキャプテンだと嬉しいな…。
I had so much fun that it didn't feel like just an hour. The Hawaiian sea, with its waves felt so close, was incredibly beautiful, and looking at Waikiki Beach from the water felt strangely wonderful. It was my first time on a catamaran, and it felt like a very stable boat, making for a comfortable ride. Honestly, I wished I could have stayed out on the water forever.
とても1時間とは思えないくらい楽しかったです。
波を近くに感じて進むハワイの海はとてもきれいで、ワイキキのビーチを海から眺めるのも何だか不思議な気持ちがしました。
カタマラン船というのも初めて乗りましたが、安定感があるボートっていう感じで、乗り心地もよかったですね。
本当はずっと海の上にいたいくらいでした。
We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.
私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします(^^)
家族で一緒にヨット(船?)に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。
Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!
It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.
ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです!
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい!
本当にサイコーでした!これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。
I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.
The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.
The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!
Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.
せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。
海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。
船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね!
ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。
It was my first time in Hawaii, and it was amazing. I'm so glad I signed up!! The sunset over the Hawaiian sea was so moving that I felt like I could cry. As I was savoring my happiness, there were fireworks next... I couldn't help but wonder if I could be this happy... and tears came to my eyes. It’s a memory I will never forget. The food was delicious too!
初めてのハワイでしたが、最高でした。申し込んでよかったです!!
ハワイの海のサンセットは、感動で涙が出そうでした。幸せをかみしめていたら、今度は花火が…。こんなに幸せでいいのだろうか…と涙が出てしまいました。一生忘れられない思い出です。食事もおいしかったです!
We participated as a couple.
The view of Hawaii from above was beautiful.
They offer photo shoots for $15.
Everyone, including the guide, was a foreigner, and we were the only Japanese participants.
On the day of the event, the waves were quite high, and I ended up feeling a bit seasick at the end.
夫婦で参加しました。
上空からのハワイの景色がきれいでした。
15ドルで写真撮影をしてくれます。
ガイドも含め全員外国人で日本人参加者は私たちのみでした。
当日かなり波が高く、最後少し船酔いしてしまいました。
It was quite good. The kids were excited.
なかなか良かったです。子供が興奮していました。
Great value & most enjoyable! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time :)
When I arrived at the meeting time, I was informed that the departure would be delayed by an hour, so we ended up waiting around the hotel area. In the promotional photos, there was a large catamaran with blue sails from Outrigger, but the actual boat we boarded was a smaller catamaran with pink sails, and it felt more like a family cruise with three staff members and about ten participants.
It was disappointing that there were no life vests available and that fins couldn't be rented, which limited our snorkeling experience. However, it was great to see many turtles up close.
After that, we cruised about an hour offshore. The wind felt nice, and the color of the sea became increasingly vibrant and beautiful. We went as far as the lighthouse past Diamond Head. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but the boat was quite rocky, and a few people got seasick. The staff was very kind and provided water and ice to those who were feeling unwell. Next time, I would like to join a tour that focuses solely on cruising.
当日集合時間に行くと、1時間遅れでの出発と案内され、ホテル周辺で時間をつぶしての出発となりました。イメージ写真では、アウトリガーの青い帆の大きい目のカタマランでしたが、実際に乗ったのは、ピンクの帆の小さめのカタマランで、スタップ3名と参加者は10名程度で家族クルーズのような小さいツアーとなりました。
ライフベストがなかったこと、足ひれがレンタルできないので思いっきりシュノーケルできないのは残念でした。ただ、たくさんのカメが近くで見れたのは良かったです。
その後は、1時間ほど沖までクルージングでした。風が気持よく、海の色がどんどん濃くなりとてもきれいでした。ダイアモンドヘッド先の灯台あたりまで行きました。私たちは酔い止めを飲んでいて大丈夫でしたが、揺れがすごくて数人の方が船酔いでダウンされていました。スタッフの対応はとても親切で体調の悪い方には、水や氷を渡したりされていました。次回は、クルージングのみのツアーに参加してみたいです。
I found this site before my trip, and it looked interesting, so I made a reservation and participated.
I had heard beforehand that there wouldn't be any Japanese participants, but I thought it would be fine and went without hesitation, only to find that we were indeed the only Japanese people there.
However, since everyone was just travelers from different places, we all got along well and enjoyed ourselves without much concern.
Personally, I can hardly speak English, but the staff member was friendly and nice, so I thoroughly enjoyed both the cruising and snorkeling!
The snorkeling spot was off the coast of Waikiki, about 10 meters deep, and there were plenty of fish and sea turtles.
I brought a waterproof digital camera, but I struggled to take good pictures of the sea turtles swimming nearby. Fortunately, a crew member who looked like a dolphin took some really beautiful photos for me.
There were no fins available for rent, just masks and snorkels, and swimming was limited to around the yacht, so it might not be enough for those who are into diving, but beginners can definitely have a great time (which was the case for my wife and me). Everyone participating was in the same boat.
After that, we enjoyed cruising while sailing back to Waikiki, heading towards Diamond Head.
This trip created unforgettable and enjoyable memories.
Since we finished around 10 AM, it was easy to plan our next activities.
I believe breakfast snacks were supposed to be included in the package, but we didn't quite understand the system and missed out. After we got back, we changed at the hotel and had breakfast (or maybe it was brunch?) at Island Vintage Cafe in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, enjoying acai bowls before heading out to Kailua.
You might want to double-check about breakfast???
Also, there are several Outrigger Hotels in Waikiki, so make sure not to confuse the meeting location... (we made that mistake).
Anyway, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it!
旅行前にこのサイトで知って、面白そうなので予約して参加しました。
事前情報で、日本人の参加者がいないって聞いていたものの、なんとかなるかな~と思って、ためらわず行ってみたら、本当に日本人は僕たちだけでした。
しかし、まあ所詮みんないろんなとこからやってきた旅行者同士の似たもの同士なので、あんま気兼ねなく思い思いに楽しんでいます。
個人的に英語はほとんど喋れないけれど、スタッフの兄ちゃんが気さくでいい人だったので、クルージングとシュノーケリングともに満喫させていただきました!!
シュノーケリングのポイントはワイキキの沖、水深10mくらいで、魚や海亀がいっぱいいました。
防水デジカメ持参で行ったのですが、近くで泳ぐ海亀をなかなかうまく写真に収められず苦戦してたら、クリューのイルカみたいな兄ちゃんがすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました。
フィンのレンタルはなく、マスク、シュノーケルのみのレンタルでヨットの周りのみの遊泳なので、ダイビングやっている人には物足りないかもしれませんが、初心者でも十分楽しめます。(まさに今回の自分と妻がそうでした。まあ、参加している人みんな一緒です。)
その後はダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで帆走でクルージングを楽しみつつワイキキに戻りました。
今回の旅行の忘れられない楽しい思い出です。
午前10時上がりなので、その後の予定も組みやすいです。
パックに軽食の朝ごはんが付いているはずだったのですが、僕らはシステムがよくわからず食いそびれたので、上がった後、ホテルで着替えて、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのアイランドビンテージカフェでアサイボウルで朝食(?)を済ませて、カイルアに遊びに行きました。
朝食のとこは要確認かも???
あと、アウトリガーホテルはワイキキに何箇所かあるので、集合場所は間違えなきよう。。。。(うちは間違えた)
ともあれ、最高のひと時でした、かなりお勧めですよ!!
It was convenient to participate in the cruise from Waikiki.
No Japanese was understood at all.
The snorkeling time is about one hour.
There were no life jackets available for rent.
You can borrow something like a long tube.
On the way there, we saw a turtle, and on the way back, we saw dolphins.
I think it's good for those who understand English and are good at swimming.
ワイキキからクルーズできるのが便利で参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じません。
シュノーケルの時間は1時間位です。
ライフジャケットの貸し出しはありませんでした。
細長い筒のようなものは借りられます。
行きにはカメ、帰りにはイルカが見えました。
英語がわかって、泳ぎが得意の方には良いと思います。
We both ( me and my wife) liked the ambience of the establishment (in a quiet room of a busy hotel 1/2 block away from the beach). The staff were extremely polite and friendly and were very professional in their massage. Their selection of soothing melodies were especially appealing to us and the aromatherapy was a welcome addition.
Overall, i would recommend it to anyone looking for a way to quickly get the kinks out of their muscles and recover from a long journey to Hawaii. It prepared us for the hikes and the swims and the kayak rides we undertook during out trip.
Very satisfied.
This was our first time, both of us were just a little nervous at first, but after we were lifted up in the air we decovered how peaceful it was and we are looking forward to doing it again,
I experienced parasailing for the first time with my elementary school daughter. The wind was quite strong that day, so we swayed like a swing and didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the scenery. My daughter said she enjoyed the speed of the boat going out to sea more than the parasailing itself. We also took a photo of her splashing into the cold sea up to her waist, which became a nice memory. I paid $20 for the film and chips.
初めてのパラセイリングを小学生の娘と体験しました。
その日はかなり風が強くブランコのようにゆれたので、
景色を堪能する余裕はありませんでした。
娘はパラセイリングより、ボートが沖にでるまでのスピード感のほうが楽しかったと言っています。
冷たい海に腰までジャポン!とつかるところも写真に撮って
くれて、良い記念になりました。
フィルムとチップで$20支払いました。
This ride is sooooo much fun. Anyone can do it. Don't think you are too skinny or too fat. Either way you are getting a great ride. We even saw a guy that weighed 290 ride with a guy who was 240. Over 500 pounds and up they went like they were butterflies. The day we went the waves were choppy and it caused a little sea sickness for a couple of us but other than that we had an outstanding time.Our group had teens, 20's, 40's and 50's. Everyone screamed for joy. It was a great time.
We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing
-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif
OUTSTANDING.
We reluctantly participated at the children's request. Perhaps because it was fully booked with a capacity of 12 people, our family of three was sent up all at once. I was worried about exceeding the weight limit, but it turned out to be fine. The parasailing was fun, but since we were sent up in a sort of assembly line manner, I had some doubts about whether this is how it usually is... It's important to check the time slots for reservations.
子供たちの希望でやむなく参加しました。定員12名の満席状態だったせいか、私たち家族は3名一度に飛ばされました。重量オーバーにならないか心配でしたが、なんとか大丈夫でした。パラセイルは楽しかったのですが、流れ作業的に飛ばされたのでこんなものなのかと少々疑問が。。。
申し込みの時間帯、要チェックです。
Def must do for the price offered. I went by myself and couldn't have had a more peaceful time to enjoy the view. The staff was great, 'Rabbit' is single btw and they offer great service. They offered to take pictures of me, played some music, offfered drinks as well. I couldnt have had a more delightful time.
Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.
