All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

The weather was nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset! I rode a boat for the first time in Hawaii! It became the best memory with my friends.

天気も良くて、綺麗にサンセットがみれました！ハワイではじめて船に乗りました！友達との最高の思い出になりました。

I had my elderly father and mother participate in a tour. On the day of the tour, the tour company made a mistake with the meeting time and arrived an hour early, so they didn't come to pick them up no matter how long they waited. My mother managed to think on her feet and contacted the tour company, allowing them to join the tour that was scheduled an hour later.

The day before, I had provided the emergency contact information to the tour company, yet they decided to mark them as absent simply because "they weren't at the meeting place" without properly confirming. If they had checked thoroughly, they would have realized they had mixed up the times. What would have happened if my mother hadn't contacted them?

After returning from the tour, I reached out to the tour company, but their response was, "If you were able to join the next tour..." It completely ruined what was supposed to be a meaningful trip for my parents.

高齢の父と母をツアーに参加させました。
当日、ツアー会社が集合時間を間違え1時間前のツアーの迎え時間で来てしまい、いくら待っても迎えに来ず…。母が何とか機転を利かせてツアー会社に連絡し、最初に予定していたものの1時間後のツアーに参加することが出来ました。
前日には、ツアー会社に緊急連絡先も伝えておいたのに、「集合場所にいなかったから。」という理由できちんと確認もしないまま不参加と判断するものはいかがかと。しっかり確認していれば、次の時間と間違えていたと気がついたと思います。母が連絡していなかったらどうしていたのでしょうか？？
ツアーから戻って来てからツアー会社に連絡しましたが、「次のツアーに参加できたなら…。」という対応でした。
折角の親孝行旅行が台無しになってしまいました。

This was my second time participating in this tour. I usually join the morning sessions, including those from other companies, but this time I thought I’d try the 12 PM session. Just like last time, the staff were all very pleasant. It’s a reliable tour. The visibility wasn’t great this time, but we saw more than five turtles and a decent number of fish. It lasts about two and a half hours, and the fact that it departs right from the heart of Waikiki makes it highly recommended for enjoying such an experience just a bit offshore. I also appreciated that they provide fins along with the snorkeling set.

このツアーには2回目の参加でした。他社のも含めいつも朝イチの方にさんかしてたのですが、たまには午後にしてみようかと今回は12時の回にしてみました。前回同様スタッフはみなさん感じよく。安定感あるツアーです。今回は透明度が今ひとつでしたが、亀さんは5匹以上、魚はまぁまぁいました。2時間半程度で、しかもワイキキど真ん中からのツアー、ワイキキからちょっと沖にでてこれだけ楽しめる、というのは変わらずおすすめ！シュノーケルセットに加えてフィンも貸してくれるのも結構うれしいポイントです。

I didn't think I would get seasick, but since all the participants cruise until the end, I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you have any concerns. A little while ago, I told the crew, and they moved me to a spot where I wouldn't get sick, and I managed to hold on just fine. The sky above was clear and it was truly pleasant! The staff were also enjoyable, and I was very satisfied; my daughter said she had more fun than with dolphin watching or shrimp fishing!

船酔いするほど走らないと思っていましたが、参加するメンバー全員が終わるまでクルージングするので少しでも不安がある方は酔い止めの薬は飲んでおいた方が良いかと思います。私は少し前にクルーに伝えると、酔いにくい場所に移動させてもらいギリで持ちこたえられました。空のうえは快晴で言うことも無く、本当に気持ち良かったです！ 担当の皆さんも楽しくて大変満足、娘もイルカやエビ釣りよりも楽しかったと言ってました！

I chose a plan that included meals. It was a buffet, but there weren't many options, and the dining area felt like it was under a tent on the rooftop. During the meal, there were performances of hula and Hawaiian songs, but it wasn't a relaxing atmosphere to eat in. The show focused on hula. The scenes featuring famous American artists were impersonations, but I enjoyed them enough. Next time, I think I would prefer to just watch the show.

食事付きのプランにしました。
ブッフェでしたが、種類があまりなく食事の場所も屋上にテントが張ってある下で食べる感じでした。
食事中はフラやハワイアンソングの披露もありましたが、落ち着いて食べる雰囲気ではなかったです。
ショーはフラ中心でした。
アメリカの有名アーティストのシーンはモノマネですが十分楽しめました。
次回もショーのみ見たいと思います。

I was looking forward to Michael and reserved a VIP seat, but he didn't perform. I wonder if the actor playing Presley filled in for him, as it seemed like he had a tough time juggling both roles. I was really disappointed since I was there for Michael.
The dancing and singing by Presley and the other actors were wonderful. The performance that involved moving around the audience was also enjoyable.
The Western audience was lively and helped create a great atmosphere, but since there were many Japanese people, it might have felt flat without them.
The food portions were sufficient, but I wouldn't expect too much in terms of taste. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

マイケルを楽しみにVIP席を取りましたが、出演なしでした。プレスリー役がその穴埋めをしていたのか、プレスリーではない役とプレスリー役と兼任で大変そうだったかな。マイケル目当てだったのでとてもがっかりしてしまいました。
プレスリーやその他のアクターのダンスや歌は素晴らしかったです。客席を回ってくれる演出も楽しかったです。
欧米の方がノリがよくて盛り上げてくれていましたが、日本人が多いので彼らがいなかったら盛り上がらなくてしらけてしまったかもしれません。
料理は量は十分ですが味はあまり期待しない方がいいです。まずいという程ではありません。

My clients said they saw about 60 bottlenose dolphins. They said it was the most incredible experience!

Even if you can't speak English, it was easy to understand with the use of gestures. There is an instructor present, so women can participate with peace of mind. I recommend it for beginners as well.

英語が話せなくてもジェスチャーを交えてくれてわかりやすかったです。
インストラクターの方がいらっしゃるので女性でも安心して参加できます。
初心者の方にもオススメです。

I participate every time I come to Hawaii. This time, the sunset cruise was fully booked, so I went with the daytime course. Cruising with a Mai Tai in hand while looking at the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head is just too luxurious. Recently, there have been many international participants, and there was only one Japanese group left. I would give it six stars if I could.

ハワイに来るたびに参加しています。今回はサンセットが満員でしたので、昼のコースに。マイタイ片手にワイキキのホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらクルーズなんて贅沢すぎ。最近は、海外の方の参加率が多く、日本人グループは、あと一組だけ。星６つ付けたいくらいです。

The weather was very nice, and the scenery was great! The crew was cheerful and kind, constantly providing drinks and taking photos for us. We were able to see sea turtles and seals from a distance! Going further out to sea and looking at the beach and the view of Diamond Head was exceptional! Riding the waves felt like a roller coaster and was thrilling. However, one of the kids (a middle schooler) got a bit seasick. Thank you to the staff for their support. While I and the other family members were fine, I recommend that those who are concerned take motion sickness medication before boarding. It was a wonderful experience sailing, something that doesn't come by often!

とてもよいお天気で景色もよく見えました！クルーの皆さんも明るく親切で飲み物をどんどん用意してくれたり、写真をとってくれたりしました。海亀とアザラシを遠くから見ることができました！どんどん沖にでて海からビーチをみたり、ダイヤモンドヘッドを見る景色はまた格別でした！波にぐんぐん乗り、まるでジェットコースターのようでスリルもありました。ただ子供(中学生)か一人酔ってしまいました。スタッフの方のフォローありがとうございました。私や他の家族は大丈夫でしたが心配な方は乗る前に酔い止めをのんでおくことをオススメします。なかなかできないセーリングでとても楽しめました！

Although you can't see the grand ocean scenery like in a painting, you can enjoy a surreal underwater world at the "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" attraction in Tokyo DisneySea! It's especially recommended for those who are not good at swimming and don't want to dive! However, if you're prone to seasickness, it's a good idea to take some motion sickness medication beforehand. I also tend to get seasick, but I prepared in advance based on prior information, so I was able to enjoy the underwater scenery until the end!

絵に描いたような壮大な海の中の様子は見れませんが、非日常の世界をリアルな海の中をディズニーシーにある海底二万マイルというアトラクションにのように楽しめました！
泳ぎが苦手でダイビングはやりたくないなぁって方は特にオススメです！
ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止め飲んでおくと安心です！私も船酔いしやすいですが、前情報から酔い対策してたので最後まで楽しく海底を鑑賞できました！

After the video lesson, we practiced on the sandy beach. Since it was a longboard suitable for beginners, almost all the women, including myself, were able to ride it right away! The guide was also cheerful! I was a bit disappointed that we couldn't get any photos taken.

ビデオ講習のあとにビーチの砂浜で練習しました。初心者向けのロングボードということもあり、私を含めほとんどの女性がすぐ乗れてました！
ガイドさんも陽気な感じでした！
写真撮影して貰えなかったのが少し残念でした。

While being caressed by the pleasant Hawaiian breeze, I distanced myself from the hustle and bustle of lively Waikiki and enjoyed the sunset and the night view over the beautiful sea, feeling isolated from daily life without any interruptions. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space and time that made everyday stress seem so trivial.

Also, the captain's dog was very clever and adorable. I heard that he was originally a rescue dog that the captain adopted. It seems that I was lucky to meet him since he is only available on Mondays. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate.

心地いいハワイアンブリーズに吹かれながら、賑やかなワイキキの喧騒からも離れ、誰にも邪魔されず、美しい海の上で日常から隔離された気分でサンセットと海からの夜景を楽しみました。日頃のストレスってなんて、ちっぽけなものに思える素敵な空間と時間をありがとうございました。
あと、キャプテンの犬がとってもおりこうさんで可愛かったです。
聞くところによると、元々レスキュー犬だったのをキャプテンが引き取られたようです。
月曜しか逢えないみたいなので、ラッキーでした。
また、ハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいです。

I went on my first day in Hawaii. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I decided to get a Diamond Seat and participate. Thanks to arriving early, I was guided to the central front row seat, and it was great to see the show up close. I was especially excited about the fire dance! I was also given priority for the buffet, and I was very satisfied!

初めてのハワイで初日に行きました。折角の初ハワイだからとダイヤモンドシートを取って参加しました。早めに行ったおかげか中央の一番前の席に案内していただき、ショーを間近で見ることができて良かったです。特にファイヤーダンスに興奮しました！ビュッフェも優先で案内いただき、とても満足でした！

■Positive Points
The sea is beautiful.
It's not as scary as I thought.

■Negative Points
It shakes a lot.
When there are many participants, the waiting time on the shaking boat is long, and you can get seasick.
Since it goes quite far offshore, you can get seasick during that time.

■Overall Evaluation
Most of the negative points are related to seasickness, but even people who usually don't get seasick will likely get sick, so motion sickness medication is essential.
I think this is the most important point to be aware of, but there isn't much warning about it, so please be careful, everyone.
We were the last ones, but while others were participating, we got seasick, and by the time it was our turn, we were just trying not to throw up and hardly enjoyed it (laughs).

■良かった点
海が綺麗
思ったほど怖くない。

■悪かった点
とにかく揺れる
参加人数が多いと、船に揺られて待つ時間が長く、酔う。
かなり沖合まで行くので、その間に酔う。

■総評
悪かった点はほとんど船酔い関係ですが、
普段船酔いしない人でもまず間違いなく酔いますので、酔い止めは必須です。
最も注意すべきポイントだと思いますがあまり注意喚起がされていないので、皆さん気をつけて下さい。
私達は最後だったのですが、他の方がされている間に酔ってしまい、自分達の番の時はとにかく吐かないように我慢していて、ほとんど楽しめませんでした(笑)

We participated with three adults. There was no transportation provided, and we made a reservation for 3 PM. We had to wait in the blazing sun for an hour from the designated check-in time, and the departure was around 3:30 PM. The boat was quite rocky, but I was fine since I took motion sickness medication. I have a fear of heights, but after reading everyone’s experiences, I decided to go for the 150 meters. While the stunning views distracted me, it was still scary. Especially after the Japon, we went up at quite a speed, and I ended up screaming so much that my voice went hoarse. The other two said they wanted to do it again.

I requested a photo shoot for $30, and there were a total of 85 pictures taken. The other group had the same number of photos. I had high hopes since there was a telephoto lens, but most of the pictures were blurry due to continuous shooting, and in some, my face was completely dark because of backlighting. Only a few decent photos turned out. It might have been better to exchange cameras with the other group or use AirDrop to share photos with smartphones.

大人3人で参加しました。送迎なし、15時で予約しました。
指定されたチェックインから1時間炎天下で待たされ、出発は15時30分位でした。
ボートはかなり揺れましたが、酔い止めを飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。
高所恐怖症ですが、みなさんの体験談を読んで思い切って150mにしてみました。素晴らしい景色を見ていると気がまぎれるのですが、やっぱり怖かったです。特にジャポンの後はかなりのスピードで上がって行くので、声が枯れるほど叫んでしまいました。他の二人はまたやりたいと言っていました。
30ドルで写真撮影をお願いしましたが、全部で85枚写っていました。
他のグループの方も同じ枚数でした。
望遠レンズが付いていたので期待していたのですが、連写されたピンボケ、逆光で顔が真っ黒、景色もイマイチで まともな写真は数枚でした。
他のグループの方とカメラを交換して撮りあったり、スマホのAirDropで交換
したほうがよかったかもしれません。

I tried parasailing for the first time in my 50s. I'm not good with rocking boats or heights, but I took motion sickness medication and decided to go for it, and it was truly amazing! The time spent flying in the air was longer than I expected.

50代にして初めてパラセーリングに挑戦しました。揺れるボートも高いところも苦手だけど酔い止めを飲んで思い切って参加しましたが本当最高でした！
思った以上に空中を飛ぶ時間は長かったです。

I had a reservation for stand-up paddleboarding, but due to the high waves, I quickly switched to surfing. I was anxious, but the instructor was funny and taught us kindly, and somehow both of us were able to stand up and ride the waves! Mr. Aiza's broken Japanese is the best!

サップで予約していましたが、波が高かったため、急遽サーフィンに変更しました。
不安でしたが、先生が面白く、優しく教えてくれて、なんとか2人とも立って、波に乗ることが出来ました！
アイザ先生のカタコトの日本語が最高です！

I was seated at the back, but it wasn't too difficult to see the stage, and I had a great time. The food was also delicious.

後方の席でしたが、ステージが酷く見にくい
ということもなく、とても楽しめました。
料理も美味しかったです。

I had only seen the fireworks from land on Friday nights, so I joined this event to see them from the sea. We cruised while watching the fireworks and the night view towards Diamond Head. My family who accompanied me also seemed to enjoy the fireworks and the night scenery.

金曜日の夜の花火を陸からしか見た事が無く、
海の上から見る事が出来る、との事で参加しました。
花火を見てダイヤモンドヘッドの方へ夜景を見ながらクルージング。
同行の家族も花火と夜景を楽しんでいたようです。

I signed up for a Hawaiian-style ocean leisure activity for my family's first overseas trip. On the boat, everything was primarily in English, and there were parts of the explanations that I couldn't fully understand, but once it started, I enjoyed the cruise in a wonderful atmosphere with beautiful scenery, uplifting music, and delicious drinks. Additionally, when my family was trying to take a selfie, a crew member kindly offered to take the photo for us, and they also made cocktails that weren't on the menu, which was great service.

家族での初めての海外旅行でハワイらしい海のレジャーに参加したいと思い、申し込みました。
船上では基本的に英語で、説明に理解のできない部分もありましたが、いざ始まってしまえば良い景色・心踊る音楽・美味しいお酒で非常に素敵な雰囲気でクルーズを楽しめました。
また家族で自撮りしようとしていたら、クルーの方から撮ってあげるよと申し出てくださったり、メニューに無い組合せのカクテルも作ってくれるなどサービスが良かったです。

I was torn between the sunset cruise and this one, but choosing this was definitely the right decision. I was worried about getting seasick, but it was totally fine. I was really moved by the beautiful scenery! I definitely want to participate again.

サンセットクルーズとどちらにしようか悩みましたが、こちらにして大正解でした。
船酔いを心配しましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
とっても素敵な景色に感動しました！
また是非参加したいです。

I joined this tour to experience the sunset at Waikiki Beach. I think about 30% of the participants were Japanese.

People from various countries were watching the sunset together and sharing their emotions, which created a sense of camaraderie at the end. It was friendly, with everyone taking photos of each other.

I wore a swimsuit and rash guard, so I didn't mind, but since you almost get soaked when boarding the boat, I recommend wearing shorts instead of long pants. Given the strong winds, I also felt it would be safer to avoid long dresses.

Many people found it easy to get drunk on the boat, so they only had 2 to 3 drinks. I think the price is more about the atmosphere of the sunset rather than just the cost of the drinks.

ワイキキビーチのサンセットを味わいたくてこのツアーに参加しました。日本人は3割くらいだったと思います。
色んな国の方が同じようにサンセットを見て、感動し合っていてちょっとした連帯感が最後に生まれていました。写真も撮りあいっこしたりとフレンドリーでした。
私は水着とラッシュガードを着て行ったので気にしなかったですが、船に乗る際にほぼ海に浸かってしまうので、長ズボンではなく短パンがオススメです。風が強いので、ロングドレスも避けた方が無難と感じました。
お酒は船の上で酔いやすいので2~3杯という人が多かったです。お酒代というよりもサンセットの雰囲気代と思ってのお値段かと思います。

We participated as a family of four. Out of the ten participants, everyone except our family was foreign, and they were lively, cheering and clapping, making the time enjoyable even outside of our own experience. Each pair had about ten minutes of experience, and we returned to the port after 1 hour and 10 minutes from departure.

It was our first time parasailing, and the view from above was magnificent and refreshing. When we reached the highest point, it felt like we were at the same height as Diamond Head. The sky and sea were both a brilliant blue, and Waikiki, with its lined-up hotels, looked beautiful, making us feel like we had stepped into a postcard.

Our daughters participated while filming with a GoPro, and that video became a nice souvenir. Just for reference, I tend to be a bit anxious and brought various items with me, but I hardly got wet (just a little on my feet), and I didn't need to use a towel or change clothes. Haha.

家族4人で参加しました。
10名の参加者のうち、うちの家族以外は外国人でノリが良く、歓声があがったり、拍手がおきたりと、自分たちの体験以外の時間も楽しかったです。
各ペア10分ほどの体験で出発から1時間10分で港に戻って来ました。
初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、空からの景色は壮大で清々しく、一番高く上がった時はダイヤモンドヘッドと同じくらいに感じました。
空も海も一面青く、ホテルが連なるワイキキは綺麗で絵はがきの中に入り込んだ気分になりました。
娘たちはゴープロを撮影しながら参加。その動画もお土産になりました。
参考までに、、心配性で荷物をあれこれ持参しましたが、ほとんど濡れることもなく(足が少し濡れる程度)タオルも着替えも使いませんでした。笑

Parasailing was my first experience, and it was exhilarating. I had the precious opportunity to see the beautiful scenery of Hawaii from the ocean. The operation was smooth, allowing us to go up and down and even dip a little into the water, which was a lot of fun. One downside was that while others were participating, we had to stay on the boat, which made some people feel seasick. I felt like most people were a bit nauseous. I think it would be more comfortable if there were fewer groups on the boat at the same time.

パラセーリングは初めてでしたが、爽快感があって、ハワイの景色を海から見られるという貴重な体験が出来ました。
操縦もうまく、上げたり下げたり、少しだけ水の中に入れたりと、楽しませてくれました。
ひとつ難点は、他の方がやっている間も船に乗っているため、酔うことです。ほとんどの方が酔っていた気がします。もう少し同乗する組が少なければ快適なのかなと思いました。

This time, I participated with my two grandchildren. They were thrilled to gradually dive underwater. We enjoyed the rarely seen seabed. One disappointment was the condition of the headphones...

今回二人の孫と参加しました。徐々に潜水していく様子に孫たちは大喜びでした。滅多に見れない海底を堪能しました。
一つ残念なのは、ヘッドフォンの調子が…

The crew was friendly and entertaining. The alcohol never ran out and we thoroughly enjoyed the company and beautiful sunset views. Plus the snack chips were a nice surprise! This was definitely a highlight of our trip.

OMG!! What an experience! Soaring above beautiful blue waters with sunny skies! The captain and his mate were entertaining and engaging. They gave a mini lesson, took pics and were understanding with our autistic son whom went first with his dad! The location was super convenient since it was right in the back of our hotel! Our time was suppose to be later but they were able to move us up which apllowed us to get to our next activity on time. If you are fearful suck it up and jump right in! It's a decision you would not regret!

Lovely way to watch the fireworks and see the lights of Waikiki from the water.

The crew are great fun.

Easy to organise

Have already recommended to friends who have also booked

Pickup was on time, and we got on the boat on the almost immediately.

The 2 guides were great!

The parasailing experience was great with fantastic views all around. The only downside was that since the wind was towards the direction of the sun, all the photos were just silhouettes and our faces couldn't be seen. This is nothing against the company, who were great :)

Would recommend!
