All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

We had a blast. The crew was amazing, the drinks were flowing, and the music made it so fun. This was the best way to start our vacation! Would definitely do it again.

Had a great time, will definitely do this catamaran cruise again!

This is an inexpensive booze cruise with Beer and Mai Tai's.
Just a short trip straight out and back.
Crew were excellent at getting drinks, taking pics or whatever you needed.

The rock and hula show was amazing!
It was a very good performance!
It took a while to eat because we had to share a table with a large group.
No one was wearing masks. In fact, hardly anyone wears masks in Hawaii.
Since people are sitting very close together, I wouldn't recommend it for those who are concerned about infections.
It seems that there are not many people who are worried about it in Hawaii.
The food was just okay. The meat was very delicious.
A plan that includes just the hula show might be a good option.

ロック　ア　フラショーは最高でした！
とてもよいパフォーマンスでした！
食事は大人数の相席でご飯を食べに行くまで時間がかかりました。
マスクをしている人はいません。そもそもハワイでマスクをしてる人はほぼいません。
隣の人と距離がとても近いので感染不安などある方はおすすめできません。
ハワイなので気にしている人は少なさそうです。
食事の内容はまぁまぁという感じです。お肉はとても美味しかったです。
フラショーだけのプランでもよいかもしれません。

The crew was very nice and friendly! We loved it!!!!

We saw lots of green turtles as well as a variety of fish. The staff on board were excellent, making sure that everyone was enjoying the experience. I will go on this tour again when I come back to Waikiki.

This is my third time participating. The fireworks themselves are short, so I think it's better to approach it with the mindset that you can see the fireworks during the night cruising. They anchor the boat so that you can see the fireworks from any seat. The staff is always friendly and enjoyable. The view of the fireworks from the sea along with the night scenery of Waikiki... I think it's a great value.

今回３回目の参加です。花火そのものは短いのであくまでナイトクルージングに花火が見られる、という気持ちでいた方良いと思います。どこの席に座っても花火が見えるように停泊してくれます。スタッフもいつも楽しく感じよく。海から眺める花火とワイキキの夜景・・・　お値打ちだと思います。

It was my first time back in Hawaii in three years, and my first time participating in this cruise in three years as well. The weather was probably the best I've ever experienced. The ocean seemed to be clearer than before. Wearing masks is optional. If you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring your own mask and snorkel. Prices have gone up compared to before, but the easy snorkeling off Waikiki and the enjoyable cruising experience are worth it.

３年ぶりのハワイ、３年ぶりのこのクルーズへの参加でした。今までで多分１番のお天気。海がキレイになったような気がします。マスク着用は自由です。気になる方はマイマスク、シュノーケル持参がいいかもしれません。以前と比べて値上がっていますが、ワイキキ沖でのお手軽シュノーケル、気持ちいいクルージングは価値ありです。

Staff was so nice and welcoming, great vibe on the boat. Staff walked around checked in with everyone and offered to take pictures. We had a great time and would definitely book again.

Was an excellent cruise with theee lovely, fantastic crew members (they were excellent with my older mother too). Boom net was fun, we saw a pod of dolphins and caught a great wave back into the beach. Lots of fun and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time, the crew was amazing and had us all laughing. They made us feel complete even with having kids because we were the only ones with kids. We will definitely recommend this sunset cruise and I know will definitely be do this again!l

Even though it was cloudy, I could see a bit of the sunset and Diamond Head with a rainbow over it. It was amazing along with the flowing music!

曇りでも、サンセットは少し見え、虹がかかるダイアモンドヘッドも見えた。流れる音楽とともに最高でした！

There are four color-coded routes, with the pink route primarily providing hotel transfers to Ala Moana Shopping Center. This time, I used the red route for downtown and the green route for Diamond Head and a local snack restaurant. The driver provided very polite travel guidance and personalized service. Although it was in English, the Hawaiian accent made it a bit difficult for Japanese speakers to understand. Please note that except for the pink route, the other routes run once an hour, with the last departure from the starting point at 3 PM.

4色のコースがあり，頻繁にあるピンクは主にアラモアナショッピングセンターへのホテル送迎です。
今回レッドでダウンタウンをグリーンでダイアモンドヘッドと地元の軽食レストランを利用しました。ドライバーが大変丁寧な旅行案内と個別の対応をしてくれました。英語ですが，ハワイアンのアクセントがあり，日本人には少し聞き取りにくかったです。
ピンク以外は1時間に1本で午後3時までに最終が出発地点を出ますので，注意してください。

Great company, great guides and great weather! First time parasailing and will for sure be signing up again!

Friendly staff. First time surfing experience feels good my kids love it.

I made a VIP reservation and was told I would have the front row seats, but from the photos, it looked like a table seat, and in reality, there were no table seats, just regular seats. If there are changes, I think it should be clearly stated. Moreover, the price difference between VIP and regular reservations is significant, yet the regular seats are just one row behind the VIP ones.

It's really unfair to book based on the photos.

VIPで予約し、一番前の席とのことだったが、写真で見た限り、テーブル席なのに実際はテーブル席などなく、普通の席だった。変更があるならそう書くべきだと思う。しかも、vipと普通の予約で値段が大きく違うのに普通でも席はvipの一つ後ろなだけ。

こちらは写真を見て予約するのに酷すぎる

We were enjoying a lively cruise with the captain's MC and the people around us, but as the sun began to set, the atmosphere turned quietly romantic.

As the sun sank lower, we thought we saw a large airship rising in the east, but it turned out to be a giant full moon. At that moment, a couple appeared to propose with a ring, and the excitement on the ship reached a peak.

In the end, the evening was capped off with a small fireworks display, reminiscent of bidding farewell to summer.

船長のMCのもと周りの人達とワイワイ言いながらクルージングを楽しんでいましたが、やがて日が暮れてくるとしんみりロマンチックな雰囲気に。

さらに、日が沈んでいくにつれ、東に大きな飛行船が上がってきた？と思ったら、それは巨大な満月でした。
そこで、指輪を差し出して結婚を申し込みするカップルも現れ、船内は大盛り上り。

最後は、ゆく夏を惜しむがごとき小さめの花火で締め括られました。

I took a private SUP lesson at Waikiki Beach. First, I received some basic instruction on the sand and then headed straight to the ocean. When the waves came and I fell, I was taught how to get back on the board and tried again. As I repeated this and got used to it, I was enveloped in the luxury of paddling while looking at Diamond Head. My instructor, Mike, pointed and exclaimed, "Turtle!" and right there was a honu (sea turtle) coming up to the surface for air, which was so moving. As a 62-year-old with no particular athletic experience, I thoroughly enjoyed a happy hour filled with a pleasant sense of fatigue. Thank you very much.

ワイキキビーチでSUPのプライベートレッスンを受けました。まずは砂浜の上で簡単な指導を受けすぐに海へ。波が来て落ちるとボードへの上り方を教えてもらい再度トライ、それを繰り返して慣れてきたとき、ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらSUPしている贅沢感に包まれました。インストラクターのマイクさんが「カメ！」と指さしたすぐそこにはホヌ（海亀）が息継ぎに水面に上がってきていて感動。特に運動経験のない62歳の私ですが、心地よい疲労感とともに十二分に楽しめた幸せな1時間でした。ありがとうございました。

The sea was beautiful and very pleasant. The waves were rough, and I got seasick. If you're not good with boats, you might want to be careful.

海も綺麗で非常に気持ちよかったです。
波が荒くて船酔いしてしまいました。
船が苦手な方は気をつけた方がいいかもしれません。

One of my most favorite adventures in Honolulu. Beautiful sunset, spinner dolphins, and turtles. The staff is great helped with everyone get on and off the boat., They asked it they could take photos for us. Answered all questions.
I would highly recommend.

This is my third time parasailing, with the first time in Hawaii and the second time in Guam. The parasailing in Hawaii was great, but the experience in Guam was very disappointing. Parasailing in Hawaii is definitely the best.

3回目のパラセイリングですが、1回目がハワイ島で2回目がグアムでした。
1回目のハワイ島でのパラセイリングが良くて、グアムで乗りましたが非常にショボくてがっかりしました。
やっぱりHawaiiでのパラセイリングは最高です。

What a great snorkel experience. This is a must-do for all Waikiki visitors. Cost wise, it is a great value, and only takes up 2 hours of your day. We saw about 6 turtles and lots of colorful fish. The crew was very nice & helpful. So glad we did this and would highly recommend to others.

We arrived early so the receptionist said they could fit us in sooner than our appointment so we agreed. It was fine at first once we got on the boat but my excitement started to fade once he started fitting me for my harness. I am a plus size female but the harness “fitted” to me was way too big. It won’t be apparent until we’re in the air, unfortunately. I did the experience with my mom since we came to Hawaii for her 55th birthday. Once in the air, it was very obvious my harness was way too big. If I didn’t hold on for dear life, I would’ve probably fallen back. I didn’t feel safe or secure. The whole experience caused me undue stress & anxiety especially since we were at 1000 feet. The guys on the boat were nice, no complaints about them except for the fact they dipped the other participants 3 or 4 times while they only dipped us once in the ocean. When we docked, I told the receptionist & she dismissed my concern. Not happy with the harness sizing; the one dip in the ocean AND how my concern was handled. I wouldn’t recommend this company. Go with another company!

It was so much fun and the captain and crew were amazing, definitely made the cruise a lot more fun! The sunset was beautiful and romantic since I went with my husband on our honeymoon.

So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!

100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.

Yes, it's early. But, we LOVED the early sail. Less boats on the water and calmer ocean conditions. If you're looking for a unique cultural experience, this is it. We did the morning cruise and were the only 2 guests on the boat which was really cool. The boat limits capacity to 6-guests. As a local resident, I really liked how the two main hosts of the cultural experience and the Captain were Kamehameha graduates. This boat also offers midday cruises and sunset. Overall, the morning sail was calm and one of the truly unique sails here on Oahu.

This place is a gem!! Our massage therapists were amazing. We did the 90-minute option and it was pure heaven. I was so relaxed that I felt like a pile of jello afterwards.

This spot is nestled in the Imperial hotel on the 2nd floor. We saw the elevators and tried to go up but realized we needed key access. When we stopped by front desk to ask, we were then abruptly told that only hotel guests were allowed to use those elevators - and that was the end of the conversation. It was only after I said that I was looking for the spa that I was directed another way to go up. This, of course, was not a reflection on the spa at all.

The spa itself was great and I am definitely going to go again!!

Tasty buffet dinner! The food was DELICIOUS. I really liked the variety of food - and dessert options! While I'm not vegetarian, I did notice there were a few vegetarian options - including the fried rice (my favorite). There was some hula dancing for the first part of the dinner and we could join in for hula lessons. I liked that this was an outdoor dinner BUT there was a covered tent above us in case of any rain.

And, it did end up raining. Lucky for us, the covered tent kept us nice and dry. Then, we headed inside to the indoor theater where we saw the Vegas-style impersonators for Elvis, Michael Jackson, and a local performer.

LOVED this catamaran! I had been on this same catamaran previously for their Turtle Canyon snorkel cruise so I knew I would like the boat. I liked that the boat check-in was here in Waikiki at the Hilton Village making it super convenient. This saves some transit time from going to some of the farther harbors (i.e. Kewalo Basin Harbor, Honolulu Harbor, etc.). We spent the best day just hanging out at the beach then just walked over to the Port Hilton kiosk to check-in.

I also liked the later departure time than most other sunset cruises so we could have a full beach day and still have time to hop on the catamaran. The dinner was a smaller portion prepackaged & more like appetizers than a full-on dinner. The drinks were tasty & buying more beyond the 2 included was $2/each - not a bad bargain. Since we were on the Hilton's pier, we were super close to the fireworks and were coming into the Port Hilton just as the fireworks were going off.

If you get cold easily, I would recommend packing a windbreaker or light sweater. It doesn't get cold here but it does get VERY BREEZY on the water at night once the sun goes down. I had a super light windbreaker which I didn't actually have to even use until about 1.5 hours into the cruise.

Overall, great cruise! So much fun!
