All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

I was nervous about my first parasailing experience, but it was really fun! I floated in the air longer than I expected, and the view was amazing!

初めてのパラセーリングでドキドキでしたが、すごく面白かったです( ＾ω＾ )
思ってたより長く空に浮かんでいて、景色も最高でした！！

Awesome experience. The captain and first mate were very patient, and communicated well. Took care to make sure everyone was safe. Took awesome pictures as well.

The parking lot right next to the Hilton is easy to find as the check-in location! After about a 10-minute boat ride, we arrived at the sailing point. Tethered to the parachute, we were off into the sky! The wind felt amazing! You can see the horizon stretching far away, and it's great to have a panoramic view of Waikiki and Honolulu! It was such a pleasant experience, and I felt fantastic!

ヒルトンからすぐの駐車場が受付場所でわかりやすい！！
ボートで10分ほど行くとセーリングポイントへ到着。
パラにつながれていざ天空へ！
風が気持ちいい～～～～～！
水平線が遠くまで見通せるし、ワイキキの町・ホノルルの町を
一望できるというのもこれまた良いですね！
気持ちよくて、最高な気分でした！！

My first sunset cruising!
I participated with excitement.
Sailing with both Japanese and foreigners is also a lot of fun.
The view of Diamond Head from the venue is absolutely stunning.
The sunset is beautiful, and it's definitely worth participating in!!

初めてのサンセットクルージング！
わくわくしながらの参加でした。
日本人、外国人入り交じってのセイリングもまた楽しいものです。
会場から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドは、また最高の眺めですね。
サンセットも綺麗でこれは参加する価値ありです！！

It was very scary and very fun! Before boarding, the dolphins welcomed us, and my daughter was very satisfied. I recommend filming during the ride. I will challenge myself again. Since check-in is hot, let's choose a good time. It's a 7-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel. I'm also satisfied with the price. From the Sheraton, it's by taxi.

大変怖くて大変楽しい気持ちいい〜！乗る前はイルカも大歓迎してくれて娘も大満足でした。乗ってる時は動画での撮影をお勧めします。またチャレンジします。チェックインは暑いのでちょうど良い時間にしましょう。ヒルトンホテルから歩いて7分です。金額も満足です。シェラトンからはタクシーで

It was more expensive and amazing than what we did in Okinawa before. Since the flights are for two people at a time, there were some who got seasick while waiting on the boat.

以前沖縄でやったのより高くてすごかったです。2人ずつのフライトなので、ボートでの待ち時間に船酔いした人がいました。

Before the experience, I was so nervous that I even regretted signing up, but once I actually did it, it was incredibly enjoyable and fun! They also give you the photos on an SD card for $40.

体験前はドキドキで申し込んだことを後悔すらしましたが、実際やってみるとサイコーに気持ち良く楽しかったです！写真も$40でSDカードで渡してくれます。

The cruise was amazing. The crew was organized and well-practiced. Thry handled the crowd with varying level of comfort and experience and made everyone feel like they got what they wanted out of the trip.

There were 7 Japanese people (I was just watching from the boat), 4 foreigners, and 2 crew members. The other Japanese people were severely seasick and vomited before parasailing. According to my family, this was just the beginning; after parasailing started, it was truly hellish and they couldn't enjoy the scenery at all.

A Japanese man was vomiting in the air. My family was also down for a few hours after disembarking.

But I think the strong wind was the cause. If there hadn't been any wind, there wouldn't have been seasickness, and parasailing would have been fun.

Meeting time: 9:00 AM
Start time: 9:30 AM, but we were made to wait 40 minutes before boarding. During this time, I got completely sunburned.

日本人7人(私は船で見てるだけ)外国人4人クルー2人。
私以外の日本人は船酔いがひどくてパラセーリングの前にゲロゲロ。
うちの家族いわくこれは序の口でパラセーリングが始まってからが本当に地獄で景色どころじゃないらしい。

日本人男性は空中で吐いていた。うちの家族も下船してから数時間ダウンしていた。

でもこれは風が強かったのが原因だと思う。風がなかったら船酔いもなくパラセーリングも楽しかったはず。

集合時間　9時
開始　　　9時30分とかいてあるが乗船までに40分はまたされた。この間にこてんぱんに焼けた。

We had a great time on this boat tour! The staff is nice and the atmosphere was great.

I loved Hawaiian parasail so much!
I felt like I was flying and also enjoyed the beautiful Waikiki beach and diamond head view.
The staff are all friendly and helpful. They take lots of pictures and download it on your phone after reviewing if you pay a fee. I had a bad experience about photos at a different parasailing company. There were no pictures when I checked the Flash card at home. You will never forget this activity, highly recommend!

I only attended the show without dinner. The staff were all wearing masks, but most of the guests were not, so I made sure to wear my mask and used hand sanitizer before and after the show to minimize risk. I also prepared extra masks just in case, as I was a bit concerned about droplets from the outside.

As a note, as of August 2022, a negative PCR test certificate is required for entry into Japan, so I acted a bit cautiously, but I think it's definitely possible to enjoy the experience if you take the necessary precautions. Of course, I was able to return home safely with a negative test result.

ディナーなしのショーのみに参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんはマスクをしていますが、鑑賞しているお客さんはほとんでどマスクしていないので、リスク回避のためにしっかりマスクして、携帯用の消毒薬でショーの前後で消毒するなどの対策をして楽しみました。マスクも一応外側の飛沫が気になるくらいではあるので、替えを用意しています。
前提として、22年8月時点で日本入国にはPCR陰性証明が必要になるなど、すこし注意深く行動しましたが、対策をとっていれば十分楽しめると思います。
勿論、検査結果陰性で無事帰国できています。

I participated again because I had a great time last time (in 2018). You can see many beautiful fish. Above all, I was moved by the Honu that comes close to you. The Honu approaches you (laughs). This time, my family was the only Japanese participants. I feel like it was the same last time. I don't really like tours with a lot of Japanese participants, so I appreciate that aspect as well.

前回（2018年）も楽しかったので、再度、参加しました。
キレイな魚がたくさん見れます。
何よりも間近で見れるHonuには感動します。
Honuの方から近付いてきます（笑）
今回、日本人は私達家族だけでした。
前回もそうだった気がします。
日本人がたくさん参加するツアーがあまり好きではないので、そんなところも気に入っています。

The captain and co-captain/bartender made this nighttime sailboat tour a super fun time. The fireworks were awesome to watch. I enjoyed the old school tunes. My drinks only made this venture more enjoyable. This was a lovely way to close-out my week in Honolulu.

The captain and co-captain made it a fun experience. I enjoyed the punch that was provided. This sail boat tour was an overall great time, and I would certainly go again.

I had a reservation at 3 PM, but it started around 3:30 PM. Since we were supposed to gather 30 minutes before the reservation, we waited for over an hour. There was no shade, and it was very hot.
But... this is the blue sky, the blue sea, and the view of Waikiki from the opposite side; parasailing was amazing. The reception staff and the crew were all kind, and overall, I was satisfied. I definitely recommend it.

15時からの予約でしたが始まったのが15時半ころ。予約の30分前集合だったので1時間以上待ちました。日陰もなくとても暑かったです。
でも、、、これぞ青い空、青い海、逆から見るワイキキの景色、パラセイルは最高でした。受付のお姉さんたちや、クルーの皆さんも優しく総合的には満足でした。絶対おすすめです。

It was such a good tour..the crew are such an experts and also funny. They've made us feel safe throughout the sailing. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends & family.

The meeting place was a bit unsettling without a large landmark (across from Prince Waikiki Hotel), but as soon as we boarded, we were greeted by the captain. The staff was friendly, which put us at ease. There were no other Japanese participants besides us; the group was filled with tourists from various countries, giving it a truly international feel.

The view of Waikiki Beach from the sea was fantastic, showcasing the familiar luxury hotels and the full panorama of Diamond Head. It was a lucky moment when a sea turtle popped its head up near the boat. We also had the opportunity to stop the boat and dive into the water to swim. The slowly setting sun and the changing colors of the sky over time were truly beautiful.

集合場所は大きな目印もなく少々不安でしたが（プリンスワイキキホテル斜め向かいのハーバー）、乗船してすぐに船長。スタッフがフレンドリーで安心しました。参加者は私たち以外に日本人はおらず各国の観光客で外国感満載。
海から眺めるワイキキビーチはおなじみの高級ホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドの全景が見れて最高でした。ボートのそばにウミガメが顔を出してくれたのもラッキーでした。途中ボートを停泊して、海にダイブして泳ぐことも抱きました。ゆっくり沈む夕日、時間とともに変化する空の色も本当にきれいでした。

Incredible views and fantastic crew! Highly recommend

We participated as a family of three, looking for a Segway experience that even our 13-year-old child could enjoy. We toured downtown, Chinatown, Izumo Taisha, and the courthouse, and it was incredibly fun. Our guide, Kenji, provided thorough instructions on how to ride the Segway and offered support, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. The staff were all very kind as well.

13歳の子供も体験できるセグウェイを探して親子3人で参加しました。
ダウンタウンやチャイナタウン、出雲大社、裁判所などを巡りましたが最高に楽しかったです。
ガイドのケンジさんが丁寧にセグウェイの乗り方やサポートをしてくれたので安心して楽しむ事ができました。
スタッフの皆さんもとても親切です。

I was scared to do this at first, but it was worth every second and every penny spent!!

The captain and crew were friendly, gave clear instructions and seemed to know what they were doing.

I would recommend anyone who typically suffers from seasickness, or who hasn't done this before to have some medication for that handy, but by all means, get this experience under your belt and thank me later!

I was happy to participate this time since my previous visit to Hawaii was canceled due to weather issues. Although visibility may vary depending on the weather, the day I participated was very sunny, and I was able to see the ocean floor beautifully.

You can see a wide variety of fish, from small ones to quite large ones.

I was also very satisfied to encounter sea turtles twice.

以前ハワイに訪れた際には天候の問題で中止になってしまい、今回2度目にして参加できたので嬉しかったです。
天気によって透明度等が変わるかもしれませんが私が参加した日はとても天気がよく、綺麗に海底を見ることができました。

小さな魚からかなり大きなサイズの魚まで幅広い種類をみることができます。

また2度もウミガメに遭遇することができて大満足でした。

The crew was very kind and the trip was amazing. Perfect view of Waikiki, the people surfing and doing other activities, Diamond Head and the sunset. If I go back to Hawaii I would book again the trip.

It was a fun experience and the staff was awesome. They made us feel very comfortable.

Great guides for first time and friendly, professional

Since it was my first time and I was alone, I chose a private lesson. A Japanese instructor accompanied me. After a very simple lesson on land, we headed straight to the sea. Towards the end, paddling was a bit tough, but I had plenty of time to enjoy it. However, there weren't many instructions, so a private lesson might not have been necessary.

初めてで、1人だったのでプライベートを選びました。日本人のインストラクターがついてくれました。非常簡単な陸でのレッスンの後、すぐに海へ。最後の方パドルがきつかったですが、時間たっぷり楽しめました。ただインストラクションはあまり多くなかったので、プライベートにする必要はなかったかもしれません。

I had a fun experience!
I didn't realize how difficult it would be, and paddling out to the waves was so exhausting.
It was hard, but I had a great time.
Surfing is indeed challenging.
However, if I can experience it even a little, I might get hooked.
I learned the difference between surfing and bodyboarding.
The local instructor was seasoned, kind, and friendly, which made it enjoyable as well.
It became a wonderful memory.
Thank you very much!

楽しい体験をさせて頂きました！
やはり難しいし、沖までパドリングして波の場所まで行き来する事があんなにしんどいとは知りませんでした。
ハードでしたがとても楽しかったです。
やはりサーフィンは難しい‍♀️
でも少しでも体感出来ればはまりそうです。
ボディボードとの違いを思い知りました。
ロコの年季の入った方が先生で、優しくて親しみがありそれも面白かったです。
良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました

Spectacular time. Terrific reef! 107 feet below the ocean.

We went there as a pair. I showed the receptionist the screen from Veltra to communicate that we had a reservation, but she didn't seem to understand well. We were guided to our seats, but I was looking forward to seeing the live performance, and from my position, I could only see part of the instruments at the edge of the stage due to the building's wall.

Only the regular menu was left on the table, and we were left waiting. After a while, a male staff member came, and when I showed him the Veltra reservation again, he understood. I was asked which main dish I wanted, but nothing was asked about the appetizers, and they just brought two types without any discussion. For dessert, it was written on Veltra that we could choose from three options, but without being asked, two types were automatically brought to us.

All the dishes were delicious and the portions were generous.

In terms of location, it was by the poolside surrounded by hotels, and we could hear the voices of children playing, so it wasn't a quiet atmosphere with a view of the sea and live music.

2人で行きました。
受付の女性にベルトラの画面を見せて予約してある事を伝えましたが、よくわかっていなさそうでした。
席に案内されましたが、ライブ見られると楽しみにしてたのですが私の位置からは建物の壁でステージ端っこの楽器一部しか見えず・・

席には普通のメニューのみ置かれていてそのまま放置。しばらくすると男性スタッフが来たので
もう一度ベルトラのを見せると理解してくれました。
メインをどれにするかは聞かれましたが、前菜に関しては何も聞かれず、普通に2種類持ってこられました。
デザートもベルトラの内容には3種類から選べるように書かれていましたが、聞かれる事なく2種類が自動的に運ばれてきました。

料理はどれも美味しく量も多かったです。

ロケーション的にはホテルに囲まれたプールサイドにあり、子供達の遊ぶ声などもするので
海が見えてライブ音楽で静かな感じ〜とかではなかったです。

Such a fun and thrilling experience! Enjoyed the combo of paddling out and then riding/surfing the waves in. First-time for us plus our two teenagers, and everyone loved it! Staff are so friendly and helpful, too. Definitely recommend booking in advance like we did! Won't regret it!
