We kept searching for dinner cruises that were open with COVID. We found this one and we were so glad that we did. It was awesome. The mai tai was excellent and the food was delicious. The owner of the boat was very friendly. The staff was very attentive and friendly as well. We would very much recommend taking this cruise if you get the chance. We even sighted a whale even though it was way too early in the season.

This was the first activity/cruise my boyfriend and I went on since the pandemic started in March. Now that things on Oahu are opening up again we wanted to get out and have a nice evening. When we checked in on the beach, one of the crew members (wearing a mask) provided hand sanitizer and had us both sign in. Then we boarded and were served drinks right away (corona beer or maitais). Oahu's current regulations allow boats to carry 25% capacity on tours, so manu kai is allowed to have 12 passengers on board now. This actually made it really enjoyable because there was so much room to spread out across the catamaran. As for masks, the crew didn't enforce face masks or social distancing to any extent. The only time you were told to put on a mask was at check-in, boarding, and de-boarding. Once you're on the boat, you were told you didn't have to wear it and none of the crew members were wearing masks during the cruise. Overall I'd say they did the bare minimum, if that, for preventing the spread of coronavirus so I'd recommend going for a sunset cruise that is really putting in more effort to keep their guests and community safe.

When I come to Hawaii, I always make sure to include sunset sailing in my plans. Once you experience it, you'll be hooked! I thoroughly enjoyed sailing while taking in views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, as well as watching the beautiful sunset.
This time, what impressed me the most was encountering a pod of dolphins. At first, I could see something like dorsal fins peeking through the waves, and they occasionally jumped to show themselves. Sometimes they even twisted while jumping... They swam alongside the boat for a long time, which was so exciting that I couldn't take my eyes off them. Seeing dolphins swimming in the ocean for the first time truly made me feel "amazing!"
After the sun sets, the temperature drops, so a windbreaker is necessary. I'm really looking forward to what discoveries await on my next sailing!
ハワイに来たら、必ずサンセットセーリングは予定に入れています。
一度体験したら、もう病みつきですよ!
船上からワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドなどを眺めたり、沈みゆく美しい夕陽を見たりして、セーリングをたっぷり楽しめました。
今回、一番感動したのは、イルカの群れに遭遇したことです。最初は波間に背ビレのようなものが見え隠れしていたのが、時々ジャンプしてその姿を見せてくれました。時々ひねりながらジャンプすることも…。ずーっと船と並んで泳いでくれたので、目が離せないほど興奮しました。海でイルカが泳ぐのを初めて見て本当に「すごい!」と感じました。
日が沈んだ後は気温が下がるのでウィンドブレーカーは必要ですね。
次のセーリングでは、どんな発見があるのかとても楽しみです!

I really like it. Why? Because there are few Japanese people. So I hope there won't be more! (A honest opinion) I ride every time, but this was my first experience with high waves. The meeting place changed suddenly, and we had to walk to board the boat. Once on board, the staff was as pleasant as always, and I was very satisfied. They remembered the alcohol I had last time, and we had a great conversation. Basic Japanese isn't understood, but you can still have a good time. Time flies by quickly. Depending on the day, snacks are provided, but sometimes they aren't. I think it's fine to bring your own.
とっても気に入ってます。何故か?日本人が少ないから。だから増えてほしくな~い (正直な感想)毎回乗るが今回は初めての高波経験でした。集合場所も急遽変わり歩いての乗船 乗ってからはいつもどうりスタッフも気持ち良い対応で大満足 前回乗った時に飲んだアルコールを覚えてくれて 話が弾みました。基本日本語は通じませんが楽しく過ごせます 時間もあっという間に過ぎてしまいます。そのときによりスナック菓子がでますが出ないときもあります。持参しても良いと思います。

I participated on March 13 with my two sons. It was one of the activities we were really looking forward to, but... the meeting place was very difficult to find, and we ended up walking around a lot. When we finally arrived at the meeting spot and were waiting, a group of foreign young people came and cut in line as if it was normal, one by one, until we found ourselves at the very back. They were already drunk and making a lot of noise before we even got on the yacht.
I was satisfied that we could see the Hilton fireworks straight on, but the whole time it felt like they only cared about having fun themselves, and it was just a constant ruckus, which made it not enjoyable at all. It was just cold and not fun, and I wanted to go home quickly. I regretted that I should have spent my money and time on something else.
Since it was a trip to celebrate my son's entrance exams and it was his first time overseas, I signed up thinking he would enjoy it, but honestly, I was very disappointed. I will definitely not repeat this experience.

ヨットに乗る前から、酔っ払って大騒ぎしてました。

This was my second time participating in this tour. However, I think swimming off Waikiki is better in the summer. This time it was in March and a bit cloudy, so it was a little chilly. But the sunset was very beautiful, and although I've been to Hawaii dozens of times, I hadn't had the chance to see the night view of Waikiki from the sea, so the atmosphere was really nice. I definitely want to participate again next time.
今回、このツアーは2回目の参加でした。
ただワイキキ沖で泳ぐには、夏場の方がいいかなと…
今回は3月で少し曇っていた日なので肌寒かったです。
でもサンセットはとても綺麗に見れて、今まで何十回とハワイには来ていますが、なかなか海上からワイキキの夜景を見る事がなかったので、とても雰囲気も良く又次回も参加したいです。

I signed up on the recommendation of a friend. Since it was a trip that included a Friday, I chose a day with fireworks.
We took a taxi from the hotel. The taxi driver checked the address and dropped us off about 300 meters before the actual location, so I was a bit worried if we were in the right place. However, the meeting point from the app's map was indeed correct.
Our family was the only Japanese participants; the rest were international travelers. Japanese was not understood.
They offered assistance when boarding and disembarking. It got quite chilly after the sun went down, and I regretted not changing out of my shorts.
The captain and crew were cheerful and engaged with us, and there was always fun music playing. It was unfortunate that we couldn't see the sunset because it was cloudy that day. However, I was moved by the changing colors of the sky and the scenery. The fireworks at 19:45 were wonderful, and everyone was excited.
友人に勧められて申込みました。金曜を挟む旅行だったので、花火のある日にしました。
ホテルからタクシーで移動しました。タクシー運転手さんが住所で調べて降ろしてくれたところが、300メートルくらい手前だったので場所が本当にあっているか不安でした。が、アプリからの地図の場所で集合は正しかったです。
日本人参加は私達家族のみであとは海外の旅行者でした。日本語は通じなかったです。
乗船する時と下船する時は、手を貸してくれました。
日が沈むと随分肌寒かったので、下は短パンをやめておけば良かったくらいでした。
キャプテンやクルーが陽気で声を掛けてくれて、楽しい音楽も常にかかっていました。
その日曇っていたので、サンセットが見られなかったのは残念でした。でも移りゆく空の色や景色に感動。そして19:45〜の花火はとても素敵で、みんな盛り上がっていました。

We participated as a family of four. For those who couldn't drink alcohol, there were soft drinks available. At first, we were served a drink made with juice and gin (?), and then we could refill our drinks; our family finished a bottle of champagne. Just as we started to feel the effects of the alcohol, the sunset was beautiful, and it felt wonderful. However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick, and food was not allowed, so we were just drinking. On that day, we were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly, and we had a great time.

I'm glad I went! The sunset sinking into the ocean in Hawaii was amazing. I didn't plan to drink, but the staff kept making Mai Tais and handed them to me forcefully. (laughs) Among a few Asian couples, including my husband and me, the staff was very energetic and explained everything in English, but everyone was friendly and it felt very cheerful. Other guests were the same. During the cruise, they played music continuously, making it quite lively during the sunset moment. I ended up buying the photo taken before boarding. It was a pretty good picture with the boat and Diamond Head in the background.

If you plan to drink alcohol at the reception area, you will need to show your passport and get a stamp on the back of your hand. You will need to show this stamp when ordering alcohol on board. You will wait for about 15 minutes before boarding. After that, a group photo will be taken in front of the ship. (After the cruise, when you disembark, they will ask you in English if you would like to buy the developed photo for $20, so you can purchase it there if you're interested.)
Once on board, all announcements will be made in English. I don't understand the content, but the sunset is beautiful, and the people around are cheerful, which makes it enjoyable just to watch. For those who cannot drink alcohol, soft drinks like pineapple juice are available, so there's no need to worry. There are no snacks, but towards the end, a small bag of potato chips will be passed around for each person. If you're worried about getting seasick, it might be a good idea to have a little something to eat before boarding.
Lastly, there is a restroom on the ship (in the lower deck), but it is a bit unclean for Japanese standards. When I went in, there was no toilet paper, so it's a good idea to bring tissues just in case. It's best to use the restroom before boarding! However, if you can't hold it and need to use the restroom, you can ask a female instructor for directions.
受付の場所で、お酒を飲む予定の方はパスポートを提示して、手の甲あたりにスタンプを押してもらいます。そのスタンプ船上でお酒を注文する際に見せて注文するようでした。
乗船するまでは約15分程度待ちます。
そのあと船の前で人グループずつ写真を撮られます。(クルーズ終了後、船を降りる際に現像した写真を手に、20ドルで買いませんか?と英語で尋ねてきますので、欲しいな方はそこで購入できます。)
そして乗船し、終始英語で案内があります。
内容は分かりませんが、夕焼けは綺麗だし、周りの方々は陽気で見ているだけで楽しい気分にはなれます。
お酒が飲めない方もパイナップルジュースなどのソフトドリンクは用意されているので安心です。
軽食などはありませんが、最後らへんに小袋のポテトチップスなどが一人一袋回ってきます。
悪酔いしないように心配な方は少しお腹を満たしてから乗ったほうがいいかと思います。
最後に、船の中(船底)にトイレはありますが、日本人にはちょっと耐えがたい汚さです。また、私が入った際にはトイレットペーパーが無かったので、念のためティッシュは持っていったほうがいいかと思います。
トイレは乗船前にあらかじめ済ませたほうがいいです!でも我慢できずトイレを利用する際には女性のインストラクター?の方に声をかけると場所を教えてくださいます。
