All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

My son and I participated in a group lesson together. It was his first time surfing, and at first, he couldn't ride the waves, but by the end, he was doing really well. The staff mentioned they would take photos, so I intended to buy some as a keepsake. However, they only took a few pictures of my son, and they were mostly from the beginning when he wasn't riding well, with no photos of him successfully riding the waves. Since there was no other option, I ended up purchasing the few photos from the beginning.

息子と2人でグループレッスンに参加しました。息子は、初サーフィンで最初は乗れなかったけど、後半上手に乗れてました。
スタッフの方が、写真を撮ってくれるということで、記念に購入するつもりで写真を確認しましたが、息子だけ数枚しか撮っていなく、また最初のほうだけ撮っていただけで上手に乗れてる写真が全く無かったです。仕方がないので、最初のほうの数少ない写真を購入しました。

The boat to the submarine was quite rocky, but the submarine itself didn't sway much, and I was able to see a lot of fish, which made me very satisfied. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

潜水艦に行くまでの船が結構揺れましたが、潜水艦はあまり揺れず、魚もたくさん見ることができ、満足でした。船酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。

Pickup from the hotel to near Hilton.
There were hardly any Japanese people at the meeting place.
It was helpful that there was a Japanese channel on the headphones in the submarine.
However, you can't see big fish, and you won't see beautiful fish, so if you expect those, you'll be disappointed.

ホテルからヒルトンそばまでピックアップ。
集合場所はほぼ日本人はいませんでした。
潜水艦ではヘッドフォンから日本語のチャンネルがあるから助かりました。
ただ大きな魚は見えないし、綺麗な魚も見れないのでそういうものを期待するとがっかりします。

I participated alone. There were eight participants in total, including myself, with four men and four women.
We had a pleasant video training session before heading to the beach. The beach was visible as we left the hotel. It took about ten minutes to walk there, and three coaches were already waiting for us, conducting a relaxed lesson on the sandy beach (practicing paddling and standing).
The boards were long and a bit heavy. We paired up to carry them to the sea and moved out into the waves.
On this day, the waves were about three meters high.
As a 67-year-old beginner, it required quite a bit of physical strength.
In the end, I was able to stand for about five seconds. Lacking stamina and with the high waves, I got tired after three attempts and returned to shore alone.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience in Hawaii. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I thoroughly enjoyed a Hawaii like no other.

一人参加しました。参加者は私を含めて８名でした。男女４名づつでした。
レッスンの前のビデオ研修を和やかに受けイザビーチへ。
ビーチはホテルを出て見えてます。歩いて１０分ほどで到着、すでにコーチ３人が待ち構えており、和やかに砂浜でレッスン（パドリングや立ち方練習）
ボードはロングで少し重たいです。２名ペアで海まで運び、沖へ進む。
この日は波が３メートルほどありました。
当方、６７歳の初心者には、かなりの体力を要しました。
結果、立つこともできましたが、５秒程です。
体力無く、波高く、３回で疲れて岸に単独で戻りました。
いいハワイ経験させていただきありがとうございました。
ハワイ旅行は５度目ですが、今までにないハワイを満喫いたしました。

I arrived about 10 to 15 minutes early, and there weren't many people yet. People started gathering around five minutes before the event.
I had a standard seat, but it was close to the stage and very easy to see! I think the seats themselves are not that different.
The food was delicious, and I had a really enjoyable time! The Polynesian dances from various regions were wonderful!

集合時間より10〜15分程早く着いたらまだあんま人はおらず。5分前頃から人が集まってきました。
スタンダードシートですがステージから近く、とても見やすかったです！座席自体はそんな大差ないかと思います。
料理も美味しく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました！各地のポリネシアンダンスが素敵でした！

I experienced this with my fifth-grade son. At first, he was really scared, but once we got up there, he saw a view he had never experienced before and had a great time! I'm really glad we participated in this tour!

小学5年生の息子と体験しました。
初めは、物凄く怖がっていましたが、いざ上に上がってみると今まで経験した事がない景色が見れて、凄く楽しんでました！
このツアーに参加して凄く良かったと思います！

Compared to another cruising company, this one had a more subdued atmosphere without the wild partying. The combination of fireworks, sea breeze, and drinks was fantastic.

別のもう一つのクルージング会社に対してこちらはどんちゃん騒ぎせず大人しい感じ。花火と海風とお酒の組み合わせは最高だった。

We participated as a family. I was nervous, but my child said it was the most fun they had during the trip, so I'm glad we took part!

家族で参加しました
緊張していましたが子供も旅行の中で1番楽しかったそうで参加してよかったなと思いました！

I participated with five friends! One of my friends was trying parasailing for the first time and was really nervous before doing it, but afterwards, they looked very satisfied and it was great that we joined.

友人たちと5人で参加しました!
友人の中には初めてのパラセイリングの子もいてやるまでとてもどきどきしていましたが終わった後はとても満足そうで参加してよかったです

I missed the meeting place and ended up passing by and going all the way to Waikiki, which made me anxious, but I managed to make it in time. It was my first time seeing the fireworks festival on Friday. After that, I went sailing for nearly an hour and was able to see the sparkling stars on the night sea, with the moon rising over Diamond Head, creating a magical view. Next time, I want to join to see the sunset.

集合場所がわからずに通り過ぎてワイキキまで行ってしまい、焦りましたが何とか間に合いました。金曜日の花火大会は初めて見ました。その後はセイリングで１時間近く夜の海を星の輝き、ダイヤモンドヘッドの上に月が上がり幻想的な景色を見ることができました。今度はサンセットを見に参加したいです。

The scenery was amazing, and the cheerful and reliable crew was also enjoyable. If I have the chance again, I would love to participate!!!!

景色も最高でしたが、陽気で頼もしいクルーも楽しかったです。また、機会があれば、参加したいです！！！！！！！！！！

It was an amazing experience to see so many turtles at once. I have been to Oahu about 20 times but never seen so many turtles! Some of them came to the surface and I was able to see them very close, I could even see their nostrils. After snorkeling, we went sailing to the Diamond Head and the boat jumped up and down the wave and my children were so excited! I would surely want to come again in the near future.

We took our family of 4 (including twin 7 year olds) to this experience. We all got in the water and couldn't believe how many turtles we got to experience up close! The excursion was well managed and very fun! The ride after the snorkel encountered some big waves, which my kids freaked out about a tiny bit, but overall we had an excellent time. It was, hands down, our family's favorite experience in our 10 days in Hawaii.

We were a group of 13 and ready for a great time. We certainly weren’t disappointed! Ryan and Magic Mike were awesome we would absolutely recommend this cruise. The views were outstanding and I can’t wait to go back.

I got seasick while transferring from the boat to the submarine. If you're prone to motion sickness, be sure to prepare some medication. It can ruin a wonderful experience.

船から潜水艦への乗り換えで、私は酔いました。必ず乗り物に弱い人は酔い止めを準備して下さい。せっかくの体験が台無しです。

On the day, I was told that the waves were high and that stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) would be difficult, so I switched to surfing. There were seven students, and my friend and I ended up with Mr. M, who hardly speaks any Japanese. This Mr. M was the worst! He had no smile from the beginning and looked scary. I was nervous as a beginner...

Even when we were in the water, he never came over to the students. Even when he told us to come over, we couldn't move towards him... It was not fun at all. He assumed we didn't understand English and kept complaining, saying things like, "I'm just doing this for work," and "You can't even swim."

If you get this teacher, it's the worst. He should be let go! What should have been a fun memory turned into a terrible one that I don't want to remember. The woman at the counter (a Japanese person) also said that this teacher has a bad reputation. I can't understand why he is still employed. I want my money back. Of course, there are things that need to be said for safety, but that attitude is unacceptable!

当日、波が高いとのことでＳＵＰ難しいと言われサーフィンに。生徒が７人いたため、私と友人は日本語のほとんどできないＭ先生となった。このＭ先生が最悪です！最初から笑顔なし、怖い顔のまま。初心者で緊張しているのに・・・
海で出ても、先生から生徒に寄ってくることなし。こっちにこいと言われてもなかなか先生のところまですすむこともできず・・・
全く楽しくない。そして、こちらが英語がわからないと思って、「俺は仕事だからやってんだ」とか、「泳げないくせに」とか、文句ばかり。
この先生にあたったら、最悪です。やめさせるべき！
楽しいはずの思い出が思い出したくない最悪の思い出になりました。
カウンターの女性（日本人）もこの先生は評判が悪いと言っていました。なぜ、雇っているのか理解に苦しみます。
お金を返してもらいたい。もちろん、危険もあるでしょうから、言わなければいけないこともあるでしょうが、あの態度はない！

This is my second consecutive year enjoying the sunset sailing. I had a great time with people I just met today, cheering with drinks in hand, and I was moved by the fantastic view of the setting sun. I'll definitely come again next year!

２年連続のサンセットセーリング、お酒を片手に今日初めて会ったばかりの人達と陽気に盛り上がって、沈む夕日の幻想的な光景に感動しました。また来年も来ま～す！！

The cheerful instructor was a lot of fun. They taught us carefully, so I was able to ride relatively smoothly. I recommend it for those who are trying surfing for the first time.

陽気なインストラクターさんがとても楽しかったです。丁寧に教えてくれたので割とスムーズに乗れるようになりました。サーフィン初めてという方にはオススメです。

This was my third consecutive year participating, and the exhilarating feeling of riding the waves was as amazing as ever! It's one of the must-do activities in Hawaii, so I'll definitely be back next year!

今年で３年連続の参加でしたが、相変わらず波に乗る爽快感は最高でした！ハワイで外せないアクティビティーのひとつなので、また来年も来ま～す！！

Crew was spectacular, the boat was clean and well maintained, and the ocean was well behaved. Couldn't ask for anything more :)

This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first time surfing. I had a bit of anxiety, but the instructors were very friendly, and the lessons were enjoyable from start to finish! I'm not particularly good at sports, but I was able to stand up on the board!! The way they taught was also very good. When I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to surf here again!

初めてのハワイで、しかもサーフィンも初めて。不安も少しありましたが、教えてくださった方々がとてもフレンドリーで終始楽しいレッスンでした！運動は、どちらかといえば苦手だったのですが、立てました！！教え方がとても上手なところもよかったです♩またハワイに行った際は、是非またここでサーフィンをしたいと思います！

Paddling is such an amazing Hawaiian tradition; these guys made it a blast. My family hasn't paddled before and it had been 20 years for me. They took us out in Waikiki and we caught some swells and rode the waves in. The photographers associated with canoeing took great shots and captured everyone smiling. I absolutely recommend this excursion for anyone traveling to Oahu.

On windy days, those who are prone to seasickness may want to take motion sickness medication, as it could be helpful. It's close to Waikiki, so I recommend it for those who are short on time.

風が強い日は、船酔いしやすい人は酔い止めを飲んで、望むとよいかも。ワイキキから近いので時間の無い人にもオススメです。

It was very expensive, but since it was over the sea, I wasn't scared. The view of Waikiki was very beautiful. The boat rocked quite a bit, so it's better to take motion sickness medication. In the end, you get dropped into the sea, but I had fun.

とても高かったけど、下は海なので怖くなかったです。ワイキキの景色がとてもきれいでした。かなりボートが揺れて船酔いしやすいので酔い止め飲んだ方がいいです。
最後に海にドボンされますが、楽しめました。

I referred to the experiences beforehand. Following the advice, I gave motion sickness medication to my children who are prone to getting seasick before boarding, but only my eldest daughter ended up feeling seasick among the three kids. The boarding position might also be a factor. It may be better for those who are prone to seasickness to board towards the back of the boat.

The parasailing experience itself was wonderful. I let my 5-year-old try it at 150 meters. Thanks to the cheerful and friendly staff, we had a great time.

体験談を事前に参照しました。
ｱﾄﾞﾊﾞｲｽ通り、乗り物酔いしやすい子供たちに酔い止めを内服させて乗船させましたが、3人の子供のうち長女のみが船酔いしてしまいました。乗船位置も関係しているかもしれません。船酔いしやすい人はなるべく後部の方に乗船した方がよいかもしれません。
ﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞ自体は素晴らしい体験でした。
5歳児も150mで体験させました。陽気でﾌﾚﾝﾄﾞﾘｰな添乗員のおかげでとても楽しめました。

The crew was fantastic and entertaining. I would definitely do this again.

I stayed at a different Hilton, but the location was a bit hard to find. I chose the middle course, and I was able to get priority for the buffet, so I recommend it. I was seated to the side, but there were dancers in every direction, so it was totally fine!

I recommend going at least once!

別のヒルトンに泊まってたのですが、場所が少し分かりづらかったです。
真ん中のコースにしたのですが、優先的にビュッフェを取れたのでおススメです。横の席だったのですが、全方向にダンサーさんがいるので、全然大丈夫でした！

一度は行ってみることをオススメします！

I signed up for a 90m experience with my wife and our two elementary school children. The whole family was super excited about this extraordinary experience! We had a great time.
There was a middle school boy and a woman from another couple on the same boat who got seasick, so it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to take anti-nausea medication beforehand.

小学生2人と妻と私の4人で90mに申し込みました。非日常の体験に家族みんな大興奮！すっごく楽しめました。
同じボートに中学生の男の子と、別のカップルの女性が船酔いで死んでましたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止め薬を先に飲んでおいた方がいいです。

Every year in Hawaii, I make it a point to spend the last night on a catamaran sunset cruise. With the stunning backdrop of the sunset shining on Waikiki and Diamond Head, it’s the perfect view to enjoy while sipping delicious Mai Tais, marking the end of my trip. The thrill of being on a small boat adds to the experience, and the crew members create a lively atmosphere, making it a truly enjoyable time.

毎年ハワイ 最後の夜はカタマラン号のサンセットクルーズと決めています。
夕陽に輝くワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに最高の景色と美味しいマイタイに酔いしれて旅の終わりとなります。
小型船ならではのスリルも楽しみながら
クルーの方々も陽気に雰囲気を盛り上げて下さりとても楽しいひと時です。

Last year, we took a boat ride for the Friday fireworks, but my family was definitely happier with the sunset! The view from the sea and the ocean breeze are truly experiences unique to being on a yacht.

昨年は金曜日の花火に乗船しましたが、断然サンセットの方が良かったと家族も大喜び!やはり海側からの景色や海風はヨットならではの経験と言えます。
