On the evening of the day I arrived in Honolulu, I quickly made a reservation for a cruise. I enjoyed my first cruise in Hawaii! The two male staff members were cheerful and lively. The sky and ocean were a brilliant blue, but as the sun began to set, Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the sparkling surface of the water created a beautiful scene, making me feel very happy from the very first day!
ホノルル到着した日の夕方、早速クルーズの予約を入れました。ハワイで初クルーズを楽しめました!男性2名のスタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれてました。真っ青な青空と海でしたが、少しずつ夕日が沈んでいき、ワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド、キラキラと光る水面と、とても美しくて初日からとても幸せな気分になりました♪

This was my third time in Hawaii, but my first cruise.
I made the reservation online, and the duration was only two hours, which was short and convenient.
The price was reasonable, and it had good reviews.
The meeting point was easy to find since it was at the hotel beach.
I read online reviews and thought it would be rocky and wet, so I didn't bring my DSLR camera, but it didn't rock or get wet at all.
There were only foreign groups and couples; we were the only Japanese family.
I had anticipated this from the reviews I read beforehand.
The explanations were all in English, so I could only understand them through nuance, but both crew members were cheerful nice guys.
With free drinks and pleasant music playing, the view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the changing beauty of the sunset from the sea was truly wonderful.
My daughters made friends with participants from a tour from Australia and seemed to realize the importance of learning English.
I had a great experience at the end of the trip.
I thought I would like to go on this cruise again on my next trip.
ハワイは3回目ですが、初クルーズでした。
ネットで予約出来て、時間も2時間と拘束時間が短く、
料金も手頃で評判が良いものにしました。
待ち合わせの場所もホテルのビーチなのでわかりやすかったです。
ネットでの評判を読んで、揺れて濡れると思って一眼レフカメラを
持って行かなかったのですが、全然揺れも濡れもしませんでした。
外国人の団体やカップルばかりで、日本人ファミリーは私たちだけでした。
これも事前の評判でよんでいたので、想定内でした。
説明が全て英語だったので、ニュアンスでしか理解できなかったのですが、
クルーは2人とも陽気なナイスガイで、フリードリンクで
心地よいミュージックも流れ、何より海上から見るワイキキの街や
ダイヤモンドヘッド、刻々と変わるサンセットの美しさは
非常に素晴らしかったです。
娘たちはオーストラリアからのツアー参加者と友達になり、
英語を学ぶ大切さを身をもって感じてくれた様子です。
旅の最後にとても良い体験が出来ました。
次の旅行でもまた乗りたいなと思いました。

It was truly refreshing once we set sail from the beach! We went as far as we could see the views of Hawaii Kai and then turned back. As we headed west, the sun began to set, and we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset. It was the perfect moment while sipping on a Mai Tai. I would love to participate again.
浜から沖へ出て、セイリングが始まってからは、爽快そのものでした!ハワイカイの景色が見えるあたりまで行って引き返し、西に向かった頃から太陽が沈み始め最高の夕陽も鑑賞できました。マイタイを傾けながらの最高のひと時でした。また参加したいと思っています。

You can enjoy a luxurious time on the boat that you can't experience in Japan. This was my second time using the service, and no matter how many times I go, watching the sunset slowly while enjoying music, the breeze, and drinks on the boat is the best experience. There are many guests, and at first, you sit in a designated spot, but once you're out at sea, you can move around freely. Please make sure to experience that moment at least once.
とにかく日本では味わえない優雅な時間を船の上で過ごせます。
今回2回目の利用でしたが、何度行っても船上での音楽、風、お酒がある中でゆっくりと夕日が沈んでいくのを眺めるのは最高の時間です。
たくさんの利用客がおられ、最初は決まったところに座りますが沖へでれば自由に移動できます。
是非一度あの瞬間を味わってください。

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.
あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.
ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ~って感じでした。

We participated with a total of seven people. I wouldn't recommend it for those who get seasick, but for those who are okay with it, I definitely encourage you to join. The staff were very kind (they only speak English). Above all, the scenery is beautiful. It's only a few hours, so it's a fantastic experience that won't interfere with other schedules.

It was very pleasant.
Since it was a catamaran, the sea water was right in front of us, and the sunset was amazing.
There were about 30 participants, with around 7 Japanese people.
There was also an elderly person (probably of American descent) who was using a cane.
Be careful as you have to climb a few steps up a steep ladder.
The instructions were only in English, but it was manageable even if you didn't understand everything.
During the sailing, it felt really nice.
I was sitting in the front row, but here the sea water splashed up from below,
and my T-shirt got completely soaked from the spray.
It's best to wear clothes over your swimsuit.
(The front half of the yacht has a net at the feet.)
Even in summer, it was cold when splashed with water.
A windbreaker or something similar is necessary.
とても気持良かったです。
カタマランなので、海の水が目の前にあり、最高のサンセットでした。
参加していたのは、30人位で、日本人は7人位ですね。
杖をついている年配の(多分米国系)の方も参加されていました。
急な、梯子を数段上るので、注意です。
説明は、英語のみでしたが、判らなくても何とかなりました。
セイリング中は、とても気持よかったです。
最前列の座っていましたが、ここは下から海の水がかかり、
スプレーでティーシャツがビショビショになりました。
水着の上に服を着ているのが、正解です。
(ヨットの前半分の足元はネットになっています)
夏でも、水をかぶると寒いくらいでした。
ウィンドブレーカー等が必要ですね。

Well there are no seats and you have to climb to get in and sit on floor, then they sail and you can move around. We thought there would be seats, but this only had benches. You have to be fit. We thought we could take my grandson, when we got there he couldn't possibly go. Also it's the Outrigger II, not the Outrigger. We showed up at Outrigger and were told it's a 10 minute walk. We are very unhappy. We bought 8 tix and 3 people didn't go and 2 who went got sea sick. There should be warnings as to what you are getting into.

You might have to wait a bit from the meeting time until departure, but it feels like a good timing adjustment to see the sunset! There isn't anything particularly special about it, but enjoying the view of Waikiki from the catamaran and having a drink on board (of course, I'll have a refill) is fun.

It's surprisingly small yacht. There were moments when it swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Basically, there don't seem to be many Japanese people on board. This time, it was just my husband and me. But since we came all the way overseas, it was a refreshing experience to escape the Japanese crowd in Waikiki. The sunset was amazing. And there's an all-you-can-drink option!

The daytime yacht experience was so enjoyable that this time I participated in a sunset cruise. Although there were many clouds and the sunset was disappointing, it was a quiet cruise without the liveliness mentioned in other reviews. Well, that was fine in its own way, but I still had more fun during the daytime when I wore my swimsuit and got splashed by the waves.

This is a very fun time for a fair price. The catamaran is basic (i.e. no cabin or bathrooms) but it's a great sail with a crew that seems to love their jobs. The mai tais are good and plentiful, and it was great to see the sunset from the water. The sail goes out early enough that you get back in time to go to dinner, and you're in a wonderful mood when you return. I'd definitely recommend this cruise to people who want a fun time seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from a new perspective.

A little while ago, at the end of 2011, I participated in an event where we could see fireworks from a boat.
We set sail around dusk, and there were about 20 people, I think? I had heard it was an English tour, but it was quite accommodating for Japanese speakers, so it wasn't a problem if you couldn't speak much.
The meal was served buffet-style. There were a decent variety of dishes, and I thought the food itself was tasty. I believe drinks were included for the first two.
The fireworks lasted about 15 minutes. If you imagine a Japanese fireworks festival, it might feel a bit lacking.
However, if you focus on the value of seeing fireworks from a boat, I don't think it's bad at all.
Personally, I felt my level of satisfaction was just okay.
少々前ですが、2011年末、船上から花火が見れるということで参加しました。
夕暮れ時に出向し、約20人くらいだったでしょうか?
英語ツアーと聞いていましたが、日本人慣れしており、喋れなくてもほぼ問題ありません。
お食事はブッフェ形式。
種類はそこそこあってお食事自体は美味しかったと思います。
ドリンクは確か2ドリンクまでは料金込みでした。
花火は15分ほどだったと。
日本の花火大会を想像してしまうと、やっぱり物足りなさはありましたが。
船上から花火を見えるという価値を重視すれば、すごくわるいわけではないと思います。
個人的には満足度はそこそこかなーと思いました。

I had such a great time riding on a catamaran yacht in the past that this time I joined the sunset cruise. Unfortunately, there were a lot of clouds in the mornings and evenings all week, so we could only catch a glimpse of the sunset through the clouds. Even though it was an all-you-can-drink option, one Mai Tai was enough for us. I brought some snacks as mentioned in the reviews, but unlike what others had said, there wasn't any cheerful dancing that started... it was a very quiet cruise. The yacht was pleasant, but even though check-in was at 5 PM, it actually started after 5:30 PM, which felt like a waste of time.
昔日中のカタマランヨットに乗って、あまりにも楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。この週はずっと朝晩雲が多く、夕日の雲の合間からちらっとしか見えない状態でしたので残念でした。飲み放題とはいえ、私たちはマイタイ1杯で充分。口コミにあったので、おつまみも少し持って行きましたが、他の口コミにあったような陽気なダンスが始ったり…はなく、とても静かなクルーズでした。ヨットは気持ち良かったですが、5時チェックインとあるのに、実際始ったのが5時半過ぎで、時間がもったいなかったかな。

The lively music is enjoyable for everyone, from the elderly to children, and the pleasant breeze, champagne, wine, and cocktails are all you can drink. Bringing snacks really boosts the mood!

In the evening of the day, it started to rain, and I was worried about whether we could set sail. About 20 people were waiting on the sandy beach, with 7 to 8 of them being Japanese. When the rain lightened, boarding began. Looking up at the boat, I started to worry that there wouldn't be enough seats, and when I asked a staff member, she said "On the net," and I couldn't help but respond, "Huh?"
When I got on, all the guests were seated on a net stretched over the hull of the boat. Below was the sea, and we set sail just like that. It was a sturdy net, with no walls or roof, making it feel very wild. The sea breeze blew through, and it felt amazing. The waves weren't too big that day, and the rocking of the boat was comfortable, much less than I had worried about.
As we moved out, we could see the hotels of Waikiki, and when a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head (and it was a double rainbow), everyone cheered. There were unlimited drinks available, and you could choose from alcoholic options (cocktails, wine, whiskey) or non-alcoholic ones.
After a while, the catamaran slowed down as we waited for the sunset. By this time, everyone started to relax while enjoying their drinks. Listening to rock music, especially the cheerful Westerners began to dance, and there were couples taking lots of photos.
I had previously participated in a sunset dinner cruise on a large boat, but I remember being too busy with the meal to enjoy the sunset leisurely. In comparison, the catamaran felt much more open, giving a sense of unity with the sky and sea.
Isn't it perfect for those who want to calmly gaze at the ocean? In the end, we rode the waves while basking in the sunset, and the sensation was wonderful, almost like being on a surfboard, and before I knew it, we were back at the beach. It became an unforgettable and wonderful memory of Hawaii.

We used this place for a meal with both families after the ceremony. On that day, the waves happened to be high, and since it was a buffet style, it was difficult for family members to go get food due to seasickness.
Since it’s not a large ship, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness. Other than that, I think it’s a tour where you can participate with peace of mind without worrying about language!
挙式後の両家合わせての食事の際に利用させて頂きました。
当日はたまたま波が高く、ビュッフェスタイルの為家族が船酔いしてしまい食事を取りに行く事が難しかったです。
大型船ではないので、船酔いをする方には向いていないかもしれません。
それ以外は言葉の心配もなく、安心して参加できるツアーかと思います!

I participated using a member monitor! Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was looking forward to the sunset. I was a bit anxious because I read in the experiences that there were no Japanese-speaking crew members, but surprisingly, I enjoyed the atmosphere☆
It was a mystery why there was almost an hour from the meeting time to the boat's departure...
The yacht was very stable, and the wind out at sea felt great. I was excited because we went further out than I imagined, but the foreigners were really into it (laughs).
There were nearly 30 people on board, but only about three groups were Japanese.
I couldn't understand the crew's English at all, but on the contrary, I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of being in a foreign country. After all, when walking around Waikiki, it's mostly Japanese people.
When drinks ran out, the crew would check on us♪
We were quietly enjoying the ride like typical Japanese, but next time, I definitely want to master at least conversational English to communicate with other guests.
会員モニターを利用して参加しました!初めてハワイに来たので、サンセットも楽しみにしていました。体験談に「日本語を話すクルーがいない」と書いていたので少し不安でしたが、意外に雰囲気で楽しめました☆
集合時間から船の出発まで1時間近くあったのが謎でしたが・・・・。
ヨットはとても安定していて、沖の風も気持ちよかったです。想像していたより沖合まで行くのでドキドキでしたが、外国の人たちはノリノリでした(笑)
30人近く乗っていましたが、日本人は3組くらいでした。
クルーの英語はまったく聞き取れませんでしたが、逆に外国にきた雰囲気を満喫できました。ワイキキ歩いてると日本人ばかりですからね。
飲み物なんかもなくなると、クルーが声をかけてくれます♪
私たちはいかにも日本人らしく静かに乗っていましたが、次回は是非日常会話程度の英語をマスターして他のお客さんとコミュニケーション取りたいと思えるツアーでした。
