We were the only Japanese family. The guide's English was too fast to understand most of it, but we managed to get by. I wondered if there really was a restroom here, but when I opened the small square lid and went down the ladder, it was there. The waves were high, and there was a splash! The people at the front got wet and were having a great time. The people in the back seats stayed dry, so some were elegantly enjoying their drinks. However, when the waves were high, we couldn't ride on the parts of the net that were transparent at the front. We also got to see sea turtles, and it seemed like my 5-year-old had a lot of fun.
日本人は私達家族だけでした。ガイドさんの英語は早過ぎてほぼ聞き取れないけど、だいたい何とかなりました。トイレってここに本当にあるの?と思いましたが、小さい四角い蓋を開け梯子を降りて行くと下側にあります。波が高くスプラッシュ!と先頭にいる人達で濡れてキャーキャー盛り上がりました。後ろの椅子は濡れないので優雅にアルコールを飲んでいる人達もいます。ただ波が高いと先頭の網で透けている部分には乗れません。海亀も観れたし、5歳児も凄く楽しめたようです。

The weather was nice, and sailing on the cobalt blue water was refreshing. We were cruising at about 10 knots, and since it was a catamaran, the ride was stable. I made a reservation in advance in Japan, and the information was accurately conveyed on-site.
天気も良くコバルトブルーの水面を帆走するのは爽快でした。10ノットほどの速度で疾走しますが、双胴船なので安定的な走りでした。日本での事前予約しましたが現地に正確に情報が伝わっていました。

If you’re looking to meet new people, this is a great opportunity to do that. My fiancé and I had a blast on the Na Hoku 2 and I would highly recommend it to all looking for a good time. We even went for a dip in the water with our group and I can’t tell you how much fun it was. Also, they’re a good looking bunch who want to make sure you have a good time :D we even ended up going out with our crew afterwards and has a blast. Highly highly highly recommend for those down to drink and meet new people!

This was a last minute decision for my mom and I after previous plans were cancelled. I am so excited that we choose the Manu Kai Catamaran Waikiki Boat Tour. It was amazing!!! Even though we were running behind schedule, we called and let them know, and they waited for us. The service crew was top notch. We only drank water, but they kept checking to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The water was rough which actually added to the experience. We were able to sit down front and enjoy the waves without having to get in the water. I can't wait to take my husband back on this trip because my mom and I had such a great time. You can't lose by choosing the Manu Kai team!!!

It seemed that 90% of the passengers were American. I think it would be better to display the drink menu as well. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all, and it was great to go quite far offshore and see a different side of Hawaii.
乗船者の9割がアメリカ人と思われた。ドリンクもメニューを掲示するとかした方が良いと思う。心配していた船酔いは全くなく、結構沖合いまで行けて違った面のハワイを見れて良かった。

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。

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!

The staff doesn't speak any Japanese at all, but you can understand where the life jackets are and how to wear them through body language and nuances. The only other Japanese guests were a family with us, and everyone else was probably American, so we couldn't understand the English jokes and conversations, but since we came to Hawaii, we shouldn't expect Japanese. The waves were very calm, and it was clear until it started to get cloudy on our way back, which felt really nice. The experience of seeing the cityscape of Honolulu and the differently oriented Diamond Head from the sea is quite rare, making it a very valuable and refreshing experience. We were also lucky enough to have dolphins swimming alongside us. You can buy alcohol and soft drinks on board. There was a commemorative photo taken before departure, and you pay $15 when you return.
スタッフは全く日本語を話せませんが、救命胴衣がどこにあるか、どうやって着用するかの説明はボディランゲージやニュアンスでわかります。お客さんも私たちともう一組の親子だけが日本人で、あとはたぶん全員アメリカ人で、英語のジョークなど会話がわかりませんが、ハワイに来たのだから日本語に期待してはいけないのです。とても穏やかな波で、帰り際に曇ってくるまでは快晴で、とても気持ちが良かったです。海からホノルルの街並みや向きの違うダイヤモンドヘッドが見られる体験はなかなかできないので、とても貴重で、また爽快な体験でした。イルカが並走するという幸運もありました。船内でお酒やソフトドリンクが買えます。出航前に記念撮影があり、帰ってくると$15払います。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this is my first time sailing on a yacht. I thoroughly enjoyed the hour and a half cruise.
Once we got offshore, we turned off the engine and raised the sails, sailing solely with the power of the wind. It was a wonderful experience to glide smoothly over the water without the sound of the engine. It was a very luxurious moment.
Please note that when boarding, you get on and off from the sandy beach, and your lower body will get quite wet from the waves. Make sure to wear something that you don't mind getting wet. Also, don't forget to apply sunscreen!
これまで何度もハワイに来ていますが、ヨットに乗るのは今回が初めて。1時間半のクルーズを存分に楽しめました。
沖合に出るとエンジンを切ってマストを貼り、風の力だけで走ります。エンジン音がなく、ゆったりと滑らかに海上を走っていく感じを味わえます。とても贅沢なひと時でした。
なお、乗船時は砂浜から乗り降りしますが、波を受けて下半身はかなりずぶ濡れになります。濡れても良い格好で乗船しましょう。あと日焼け止め対策も忘れずに!

- 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。

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!

We boarded the ship that departed at 11:00 AM (check-in was at 10:30 AM).
We were the only Japanese people on board, but we had a great time.
However, on the catamarans we've been on before, we were allowed to sit on the netting at the front, but this time it wasn't permitted.
Honestly, I was looking forward to sitting there again, so I was a bit disappointed.
As for taking photos before boarding, I'm not sure if it's necessary...? (They are sold for $10 at disembarkation for those who want them.)
11時出航のに乗船しました。(チェックインは10時30分)
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、楽しい時間でした。
ただ、今まで乗ってきたカタマランは先端の網の部分に座っても良かったのですが今回はダメ。
正直私はそこに座るのが楽しくて、また申し込んだので少々残念でした。

We were the only Japanese passengers among many! It was refreshing to not see any other Japanese people on the optional tour in Hawaii! The yacht was a catamaran, so there was no side-to-side rocking, making it extremely stable! The wind was refreshing as we sped along! We enjoyed the beautiful blue waters to our heart's content while drinking beer. They even stopped the yacht along the way so we could all experience jumping in. I want to ride again the next time I come back!

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。
