We were really pleased with the fresh seafood dinner. The staff worked hard to take care of everyone, and the Captain welcomed us with a delightful version of the safety talk . Coming back to the city skyline with a full moon in the background was a perfect ending to the day.

The captain's notes were excellent. I laughed a lot. The conversations with the other passengers were friendly and enjoyable, and I felt relaxed. I will definitely ride again on my next visit to Hawaii.

After making a reservation through VELTRA, I received an SMS with information in English about the meeting place and consent form. It might be a bit challenging if you don't understand English.
On the day of the trip, the weather was cloudy and it was quite windy, which caused the boat to sway a lot, and I felt seasick the entire time. Although drinks were unlimited, I didn't feel like drinking alcohol in such rough conditions, so it was hard to get my money's worth.
Because of the clouds, I couldn't see much of the sunset either. Overall, it turned out to be a bit of a disappointing trip.
VELTRA経由で予約した後にSMSで英語の集合場所や同意書に関する案内が来ました。英語がわからないとややハードルが高いかもしれません。
乗った日の天候は曇りかつ風が強かったためか、船がものすごく揺れまして、始終船酔いでした。ドリンクは飲み放題ですが、この揺れの中でお酒をガンガン飲む気分にはなれず、元を取るのは難しいと思われます。
曇りのためあまり夕日も見れず。
ちょっとがっかりな旅になりました。

My husband and my two boys and I went on a sunset cruise and had a fantastic time. We got to drink our own drinks so we didn’t have the watered down stuff. They usually serve on these types of cruises. The crew was incredibly friendly. We saw a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows.

The first time I saw the fireworks, it was great, but afterwards it was just drifting, so I think it would have been better if it had been shorter. Also, the music was loud like rock, and more relaxing music would have helped me unwind.
最初に花火を見た時は良かったが、その後は漂っているだけだったので、もっと短い時間で良かったと思う
また音楽もロックの様なうるさいもので、もっとゆったりした音楽の方がリラックス出来た

I signed up to experience something I usually wouldn't do in Japan. Unfortunately, the day I participated was cloudy, and we didn't get to see a beautiful sunset, but I had so much fun that I forgot about that. The all-you-can-drink alcohol was like a "Wanko Mai Tai" instead of "Wanko Soba," with Mai Tais being poured one after another. They also give you small bags of snacks, which makes you want to drink more.
There weren't many Japanese participants, but the receptionist, Miko, spoke Japanese. The staff's talk on the boat was in English, so I regretted not understanding the witty jokes. Next time, I want to join the fireworks sailing.
普段日本ではやらないことを体験したくて申し込みました。
生憎参加した日は雲が多く、きれいなサンセットではありませんでしたが、そんなこと忘れるくらい楽しかったです。
飲み放題アルコールは、マイタイが次々注がれる『わんこ蕎麦』ならぬ『わんこマイタイ』状態。スナック菓子の小袋がもらえるのでまたお酒が進みます。
日本人参加者はほとんどいませんが、受付のミコ嬢は日本語OKでした。
船上でのスタッフさんのトークは英語なので、軽妙なジョークが分からなかったのは悔しいなぁ。
次回は花火のセーリングに参加したいです。

I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.

The crew on the boat was humorous, and we had a very enjoyable time. They took photos for us, and the service was excellent. The length of the sunset cruise was just right. Since you can swim in the sea at the points along the way, I think having snorkeling gear would make it even more enjoyable. I also recommend bringing a jacket as it can get cold. If I have the opportunity to go to Waikiki again, I would definitely like to use this service.
船のクルーはユーモアがあり、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。写真を撮ってくれたり、サービスも満点です。
サンセットクルーズの長さもちょうど良いです。
途中のポイントの海で泳ぐことができるので、スノーケルがあるとより楽しめると思います。
また、寒くなるので上着を持っていくことをお勧めします。
またワイキキに行く機会があればぜひ利用したいです。

I participated in a whale watching tour on March 4th. I was torn between a large cruise ship and a smaller one, but I decided to go with the smaller cruise ship, thinking it might get closer to the whales when we spotted them.
At the meeting point, there was no reception, and the staff who were on the returning cruise ship handled the check-in, which left me a bit confused about whether I was in the right place while waiting.
They did move a bit closer, getting within about 100 meters, and I was able to take great videos and photos with my smartphone's 2x zoom.
There were options not just for the five mountains, but also for morning, late morning, and early afternoon, allowing for flexibility in scheduling with other options and making effective use of my time.

Since they are wild whales, I suppose it's understandable, but I could only see them spouting water from a distance and their tails. It was hard to tell whether they were whales or dolphins.

The back of Prince Waikiki serves as the meeting place, and everyone gathers there at the scheduled time. The departure was on time as planned.
Inside the boat, music was playing, creating a great atmosphere. Drinks can be purchased at the bar counter on the first floor.
As for the whales, we couldn't see them up close, but we saw many, so I was very satisfied! The day I participated, the weather was cloudy, and the wind was very strong, making the waves quite rough, which caused some people to feel seasick. I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring some medication.
prince waikikiの裏が待ち合わせ場所になっていて集合時間になるとみなさん集まってきます。時間は予定通りに出航してくれました。
船内も音楽がかかっていて良い雰囲気です。ドリンクは1階のバーカウンターで購入できます。
肝心のクジラはあまり近くでは見れなかったですが、たくさん見れたので大満足です!
私が参加した日は天気は曇り、風がとても強かったので波がとても荒く船酔いしている人もいました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持って行った方が良いと思います。

This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.

Since I was staying at Prince Waikiki, it was very convenient to depart from the harbor right in front of me. I was also very happy to board the boat from the lovely harbor that I could only admire. Both the first and second floors were fully booked! We happened to get a two-person seat on the right side of the second floor. It wasn't by choice; it was just luck. The sun was quite strong, so a hat and sunglasses were a must! However, the wind was also strong, so be careful not to let them fly away! Looking closely at the water, I could see flying fish sparkling! In the distance, there was Diamond Head! The scenery was amazing. Everyone pointed out the whales by saying "There it is!" so I was able to spot them. They were a bit far away, but it was fun to search for them together, shouting "There it is!" The announcements were in English, but they didn't say anything too complicated. It was important to listen carefully to the safety instructions. We were fortunate to have good seats, and whales often appeared on the right side of the boat.
プリンスワイキキに宿泊していたので、目の前のハーバーからの出港で楽ちんでした。
そして、眺めるばかりのステキなハーバーから船にのれたのもとても嬉しかったです。
お客さんは1階席、2階席ともに満席でした!
私達は2階席の右サイドの二人席をたまたまGETできました。選んだわけではなくたまたま。
日差しは強めなので、帽子とサングラスはマストでした!しかし、風も強いので飛んでいかないように注意です!
水面をよくよく見るとトビウオがキラキラ!遠くをみるとダイアモンドヘッド!景色も最高です。
クジラの潮吹きを目印に「いたー!」と、皆が教えてくれるので、ちゃんとみつけられました。少し遠くだけれど、居たぞー!あそこだー!と、みんなで探すのは楽しかったです!
アナウンスは英語ですが、難しい事はあまり言っていません。注意事項はしっかり聴く必要があります。
良い席に恵まれ、船の右サイド側にクジラが現れてくれることが多かったです。
