My parents in their 60s wanted to join for the first time! There were two other groups of Japanese people as well. Once we headed out to sea, we raised the sail and picked up speed, and we got splashed by the waves a few times (when standing at the edge of the boat), but that was fun. Even if you can't speak English, you can manage just fine! The staff came over several times to check if we were enjoying ourselves and if everything was okay. My parents were the happiest, so we would like to participate again.
60代の両親が乗りたい!と初めて参加しました。ほかに二組日本人がいました。
沖に出ると帆をあげてグングンスピードをあげ波が何度かかかりました(ボートのへりに立っていると)がそれが楽しかったです。
英語が話せなくてもノリで乗り切れます!
スタッフの人も何度も楽しんでるか大丈夫か声をかけにきてくれました。
両親が一番喜んでいたのでまた参加したいと思います。

I wanted to go on a sunset cruise, but it was fully booked, so I gave up on that. However, choosing this option was definitely the right decision!
I've walked on Waikiki Beach before, but seeing the beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was spectacular.
It was faster than I expected and thrilling. The only downside was a group of students from Canada who were making a lot of noise, getting injured, and even throwing up. However, I think it was an experience that makes me want to participate again.
サンセットクルーズに乗りたかったのですが、予約がいっぱいで断念しましたが、こちらにして大正解でした!
ワイキキビーチで散歩したことはあっても、海から見るビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドは壮観でした。
思ったよりスピードがあって、スリリングでした。
カナダからの学生の団体がいて、大騒ぎして怪我をしていたり、吐いたりしてて騒がしかったのが唯一の難点でした。
しかし、また参加したいと思える内容だったと思います。

If you want to get out of Waikiki for a quick outing then this Tradewind Sail with Mana Kai Catamaran is perfect! Departing from the middle of Waikiki, it's a beach boarding and all you need is a pair of sunglasses and water. The captain and crew took us towards out the blue ocean and there you are just sitting looking at the iconic Diamond Head.
It's was great to just relax and bake under the sun for one hour!

On our last day of vacation, we took the morning cruise. It was amazing! Woody and Zach are great! It was so relaxing ... And those views! Just gorgeous! We had the added bonus of seeing sea turtles and dolphins ... And Woody drew closer and cut the engine so we could watch them for a while. If we had found this cruise sooner we would definitely have taken it more than once.

- Meeting point: When you enter the Outrigger Hotel and go straight from the entrance, it's easy to reach the beachside meeting location. I got a bit lost trying to find the meeting point from the beach.
- There are no staff members at the reception or among the catamaran crew who understand Japanese. However, I don't think it will be particularly problematic. The surrounding staff were quite friendly.
- Boarding takes place a short walk from the meeting point. You will get wet from the knees down as you board by climbing the stairs from the water's edge. A wave came while I was climbing the stairs, and I ended up getting wet from the waist down. Well, it dries by the time you disembark. You take off your beach sandals and go barefoot from the moment you board. It's also barefoot on the boat.
- As for participants, there was only one other group of Japanese people besides us. They provide a Japanese guidebook with safety points on board. Soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are available for purchase inside. There is also a restroom on board.
- The wind was strong (maybe just that day?), and hats and sunglasses can get blown away. Please be careful. About half of them were caught by the staff, so it was okay.
・現地集合
アウトリガーホテルに入って、入口からまっすぐ進むとビーチ側、集合場所に辿り着きやすいです。
ビーチから、集合場所を探してしまったので、ちょっと迷いました。
・受付も、カタマラン乗組員も、日本語がわかるスタッフはいません。が、特に困ることはないと思います。あたりの柔らかいスタッフが揃ってました。
・乗船は、集合場所から少し歩いたところになります。波打ち際から、船の階段を上がって乗船するので膝から下は濡れます。私は階段を上がるときに波が来て、腰から下が濡れてしまいました。ま、下船の頃には乾きますが。
乗船の時から、ビーチサンダルは脱いで裸足になります。船上も裸足です。
・参加者ですが、日本人は私たち以外に一組だけでした。船上での注意点などは日本語の案内書を渡してくれます。ソフトドリンクや、アルコール飲料は中で販売してます。トイレも付いてます。
・風が強くて(たまたま?)、帽子やサングラス、飛ばされます。気を付けてください。半分くらいはスタッフがキャッチして、事なきを得てましたが。

Such a beautiful weather! The green color of the ocean and the blue skies doesn't lie! Thanks to the friendly crew of Mana Kai Catamaran for making this such a wonderful experience! The whole gang at my work decided to take this trip together and it was truly a great way for us to loosen up after a stressful week!
For only $31 per person, you'll enjoy a fun ride, sip on your favorite drink (BYOB), or snacks, listen to good music, and feeling the breezy tradewinds while watching the gorgeous scenic view of Waikiki! Ahhhh..mazing! I would go again for sure!

It was sunny and clear, perfect weather to go sailing! We had lunch before departing so we brought light appetizers & drinks on board. The only "table" was the top of the storage box. Luckily, we didn't bring anything too large with us so it wasn't too bad.
The ocean was beautiful even though the waves can get pretty rough. Highly recommend taking motion sickness medicine before going out. It made the experience so much more enjoyable without worrying about my stomach.
Captain Johnny & his crew were great! Very friendly and funny. It was like a bunch of friends hanging out on a sail. I didn't even care that I got splashed by the waves. You guys are the best, can't wait to go again!

This was a really fun sail. We ordered pizza and brought it on board with drinks, though since it was an afternoon sail we had most of our lunch before departing. Bench seating with no tables, so we had to improvise. Finger foods that are easy to eat and not very messy are ideal to bring on, as are cans and bottles for drinks.
It's really cool and windy out on the water, so it can get rough if the boat goes near Diamond Head where the water isn't protected from the waves. That said, if you're willing to get wet it's a lot of fun sitting on the netting and getting splashed!

I signed up for this tour thinking it would be an easy activity for my first time in Hawaii. I initially thought we would just be sitting on the boat, but after a while, once the captain introduced himself and the crew, we were able to go out on deck and enjoy the view of the ocean.
The narration was in English, and there were newlyweds, families, and solo travelers, but everyone was very friendly and cheerful.
We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and my whole family was extremely satisfied, wanting to repeat the experience the next day. I would like to use this service again on another occasion.
初ハワイで何か手軽なアクティビティーをと思い、このツアーに申し込みました。普通に船に座って乗っているだけかと思いきや、船が出てからしばらくして船長さん達の紹介を終えると甲板に出て海を眺めることが出来ました。
進行は英語で、海外の新婚さんや家族連れ、おひとり様の方もいましたが、とても和気藹々としていました。
イルカやウミガメにも会うことができ、家族みんな大満足で翌日またリピートしたいと思うほどでした。
またの機会にも利用したいとおもいます。

I quickly found the reception area since I had researched it in advance. I arrived at the meeting time of 2:30 PM and was told to return by 3:00 PM, so I waited right in front. However, even at 3:00 PM, it seemed like the reserved guests hadn't arrived, and they were discussing something while looking at the list, which delayed our boarding. In the end, it was just our group and a family of three that set sail. It was nice to have the boat to ourselves and enjoy the view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean, but when we went further out towards Diamond Head, it was a bit scary. If we could have seen dolphins or something, it might have been more enjoyable, but I started to feel a bit bored. Since I can't speak English, the staff kindly checked on me in Japanese to see if I was okay.
受付場所は事前に調べていたのですぐにわかりました。集合時間14:30に到着し50分に戻って来てと言われたのですぐ前で待っていましたが、15:00になっても予約客が来ないのか名簿を見ながら何やら話してなかなか乗船出来ませんでした、結局私達と3人家族だけで出航しました。貸切状態でゆったりできワイキキビーチを沖から見ているでは良かったけれど、延々沖(ダイヤモンドヘッドの方)へ出た時ちょっと怖かったかな。イルカとか何か見れたらもう少し楽しめたかもですがちょっと退屈してきました。英語が話せないのでスタッフは大丈夫?と日本語で気遣ってくれました。

Check-in was at 2:30 PM, so I arrived a bit early, around 2:20 PM, and checked in right at 2:30 PM. However, it felt quite relaxed, as it seemed you could check in anytime between 2:30 PM and 2:45 PM.
The sunset cruise was fully booked a few days in advance, but it seemed like the daytime cruise was okay for same-day reservations. Those who were boarding on the day had paper wristbands on their arms, and there were quite a few of them.
There are restrooms available. The drinks for the daytime cruise were not all-you-can-drink, as stated on Veltra, so I went with that expectation. In reality, the bartender explained things in long sentences in English, which I didn't quite understand, but I heard him mention prices like "beer ◯ dollars" and "Mai Tai ◯ dollars." However, everyone seemed to just tell the bartender what drinks they wanted, giving it a feel of all-you-can-drink.
Tips were being thrown in with $10 and $20 bills. I guess it was implied that while the beer was ◯ dollars, you should tip on top of that? I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper explanation in Japanese at check-in regarding that system. Regulars were already ordering drinks and starting to drink before the explanation.
On the boat, people who didn’t know each other were chatting and having a good time, but if you can’t speak English, you might feel a bit isolated. It seems like it would be more fun with a larger group.
チェックインが14:30なので早めに14:20くらいに着いて14:30ぴったりにチェックインしましだが、14:30〜14:45くらいまでにチェックインすれば良いような緩い感じでした。
サンセットの方は予約で数日前から埋まってましたが、昼の部は当日でもOKのようです。当日受付に言って乗る人たちは腕に紙のリングを巻いてましたが、かなりいました。
トイレあります。
ドリンクは昼の部は飲み放題ではないとベルトラに書いてあったので、そのつもりで乗りました。
実際はバーテンダーが英語で長文で説明されたので良くわからなかったのですが、ビール◯ドル、マイタイ◯ドルとか読み上げてましたが、みんなバーテンダーに飲みたいドリンクを言って飲み放題感覚でした。
チップは10ドル紙幣や20ドル紙幣がガンガン入れられていました。
「ビール◯ドルだけど、チップで入れてね」ってことだったのでしょうか?
あのシステムは日本語にして受付で紙で配ってくれても良いなと思いました。常連さんは乗った時から(説明前)ドリンクをオーダーして飲み始めてました。
船上は知らない人同士も気さくに話し合い盛り上がっていましたが、英語が話せないとポツンとしてしまいます。大人数で乗った方が盛り上がるでしょうね。

However, the boat can be quite rocky, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious. Thank you for a very enjoyable journey!

Everyone except us were Western guests. The crew only provided explanations in English. Still, we managed to understand that the first cup of guava juice was free and got it. After that, the other guests were having a great time drinking beer and wine. We, however, couldn't quite understand what to order, so we held back and didn't drink. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the refreshing thrill and the amazing scenery, and the return trip was a leisurely cruise. I regret not studying more English; we could have enjoyed it much more.

I participated in an afternoon sailing trip. The meeting point was unclear, and I finally found a staff member in an orange shirt after asking a nearby attendant.
Many reviews mentioned "getting splashed" and "seeing sea turtles," but in reality, it was a very calm sailing experience. We were the only Japanese participants, while the other passengers seemed to be enjoying themselves in swimsuits with drinks. Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles or dolphins, but I enjoyed chatting with the other passengers I met for the first time. Although I was a bit seasick, it was a fun sailing experience, and those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.
午後のセーリングに参加しました。
集合場所が曖昧で、近くの係員に聞いてようやくオレンジ色の服を着た係員を見つけることができました。
体験談には「水しぶきがかかる」「ウミガメが見れる」との投稿が多くありましたが、実際には非常に穏やかなセーリングでした。
参加者は我々のみ日本人で、他の乗客は水着でお酒を飲んで楽しむ、という感じでした。
残念ながらウミガメもイルカも見れませんでしたが、初対面の乗客との話を楽しむことができ、日焼けが気になりますが楽しいセーリングでした。
若干船酔いしたので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は注意した方が良さそうです。
