All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

The captain and his crewmate were perfectly pleasant (and very attractive), but did very little to connect with the group. They did, however, seem very competent in their sailing abilities, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the trip.

We happened to have three "Instagram girlfriends" who made the trip pretty amusing with their selfie/photoshoot antics. They seemed to be having a blast, and it was easy to let them have their fun, while we laughed with them.

Additionally, we did the sunset sail, and passed a bunch of monohull sailboats, loaded with passengers counterweighting their boats and waving to us during the trip. Such beautiful sights (sunset on the water, gorgeous Waikiki/Honolulu area, beautiful water, and getting to see the monohulls slicing through the water)!

I was overall very pleased with the experience for such an affordable price. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.

The most friendly and courteous staff and crew. Great time snorkeling and sailing. Very nice boat and equipment. Definitely on my to do again list. Thank you and aloha.

I had the impression that there would be more beautiful fish, so I was disappointed that I didn't see many (´-`).｡oO. Also, my child gets seasick, and unfortunately, they got sick on the boat we took to get to the submarine. If you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely better to take medication before going.

もう少し沢山の綺麗なお魚がいるイメージで行きましたので、そんなに見れなかったので残念でした（´-`）.｡oO
あと子供が船酔いをするので、潜水艦に行くまでに乗った船で酔ってしまい、残念でした。
船酔いする人は必ず薬を飲んで行かれた方がいいです。

I was hoping to see more of the hula "Auwana" since I'm learning hula, but there were many Tahitian performances, and I felt it was an Americanized entertainment show. However, if you approach it with that mindset, you can enjoy it quite a bit.

フラを習っているので、｢アウアナ｣のフラをもう少し見られるかと期待していたのですが、タヒチアンが多く、アメリカナイズされたエンターテイメントショーだな、と思いました。そう思って臨めば、十分楽しめました。

The instructors communicated in various ways, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience. They provided solid guidance, so everyone who participated felt supported. They took a lot of photos, and afterward, we reflected on the experience while laughing together at the shop. The photos could be purchased as digital files. The pineapple ice cream we tasted was delicious. Since it was shallow, it might be a bit lacking for experienced participants. In such cases, it might be better to opt for a semi-private or private session. Also, the coral can surprisingly cause cuts, so it's a good idea to have some band-aids on hand.

イントラの方は様々な方法でコミュニケーションを取ってくれるので、リラックスして臨めました。
しっかりガイドしてくれるので、参加した人みんな立てていましたよ。写真をいろいろ撮ってくれて、終わった後もショップで互いに笑いながら振り返っていました。写真はデータで買うことができました。
試食のパイナップルアイス美味しかったです。
浅瀬だったので経験者にとっては物足りないかもしれません。そういう場合はセミプライベートやプライベートで受けるといいかも。あと、サンゴが意外と傷を作るので絆創膏あった方がいいです。

Great experience. Awesome crew. A perfect end to our trip to Hawaii. Thanks.

I booked parasailing on New Year's Day in 2019.
My wife and I challenged ourselves to the highest height of 150 meters.
The view from above was breathtaking, with Ala Moana Beach, Waikiki Beach, the cityscape of Waikiki, and unobstructed Diamond Head.
It was a spectacular sight.
It was the best feeling to start the new year.
I highly recommend it.

2019年の元旦にパラセーリングを予約しました。
妻と2人で、一番高い高さ150mに挑戦しました。
上空からのアラモアナビーチからワイキキビーチ、ワイキキの街並み、障害物なしのダイヤモンドヘッド。
絶景です。
新年早々最高の気分でした。
絶対おすすめです。

This time, at 48 years old, I tried surfing for the first time in my life. At first, I was only worried about whether I could do it, but once I tried, it was super fun. I think I'm going to get hooked! I made my debut as a dad surfer.

今回48歳にして人生初めてサーフィンしました。
初めは出来るかな？っていう不安しかありませんでしたが、やってみたらチョー楽しかったです。
はまりそうです！親父サーファーデビューとなりました。

I was very relieved to be picked up at the hotel on time, and it became a wonderful memory as we exchanged cameras with the other members of our group and took pictures of each other. The staff were also very enthusiastic! We did the 90m and were completely satisfied! When we arrived at the hotel with the families in our group, everyone smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" as we parted ways, and I felt fortunate to have such a great group. I also think I want to challenge myself to the 150m next time!

時間通りにホテルに迎えに来てもらえとても安心し、同じグループになった方々とカメラを交換しお互い取り合ったり係の方々もとてもテンションが高く最高の思い出になりました！私達は90mでしたが十分満足でした！同じグループになった家族の方々とホテルに着いた時には、お疲れ様でした〜とみんな笑顔で解散してグループにもめぐまれたなと思います！次は150mにも挑戦したいな！とも思います♪

Wew had a great night, staff were great, it was a shame about the wind coming up

It was my first experience, and it felt absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it to those who are not sick. The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean made me feel like a bird—it's an exaggeration, but it felt like flying in the sky.

初めての試みでしたが、最高に気持ちよかったです。病気がない方には是非オススメです。ワイキキビーチが海から眺められて鳥になった気分とは大げさですが空を飛ぶ感じです。

I think the backstage tour before the show was a very valuable experience. We were able to wear the dancers' costumes and take photos, and they shared behind-the-scenes stories mixed with jokes, which made the show ten times more enjoyable. The green room was also a lovely space where you can definitely feel a "special hospitality." Additionally, since our seats were in the front row, we got to shake hands and hug the dancers, Michael, and Elvis, making it an incredibly rewarding show!

ショーが始まる前のバックステージツアーはとても貴重な体験だったと思います。ダンサーの衣装を実際に身につけて写真撮影ができたり、ショーの裏話をジョークを混じえて紹介してくれたりして、おかげでショーが１０倍楽しめました。グリーンルームも素敵な空間で「特別なおもてなし感」を味わえること請け合いです！　また、席が最前列だったのでダンサー、マイケル、エルヴィスと実際に握手したりハグしてもらったりと、それはそれはお得感満載なショーでした！

For dinner, we opted for the buffet since it was around the time we would be eating anyway, and it was pretty much what I expected. In hindsight, I think it might have been nice to join after having something at a restaurant during happy hour. The tables were cramped, there were a lot of people, and waiting in line for the buffet was tiring. The variety of dishes was decent. I tried some things I don't usually eat, like Ahi Poke and Lomilomi Salmon, and they were delicious.

The show started with a Polynesian theme, set around Elvis landing in Hawaii. MJ also made an appearance. Since both of them have passed away, we can't see the real ones, but I enjoyed the American entertainment; the singing and dancing were great. I was satisfied.

I wonder if it was just Elvis and MJ? It would have been nice to see GAGA or Taylor Swift as well. I wish I knew who would be performing and when.

夕食は始まる時間、どっちにしろ食べる時間だろうからということでビュッフェ付きのものにしましたが　まあまあ思っていた通りでした。
どこか レストランのHAPPY HOURで頂いてからの参加でもよかったかな～と今となっては思います。
テーブルも狭いし、人が多いし　ビュッフェなので順番待ちで疲れたな～という感じでした。品数はまあまあでした。Ahi Poke や　Lomilomi Salmon など　普段食べないものがあったので挑戦してみましたが　美味しかったです。

ポリネシアの要素を取り入れ内容で　エルビスがハワイに上陸したという設定でショーが始まります。MJも登場します。
本物は二人とも亡くなっているので見ることはもできませんけど、アメリカのエンターテイメンをたのしめました歌も踊りもよかったです。満足です。

エルビスとMJだけなのでしょうか？GAGAやテイラースイフトなどみれたらよかったのにな～。だれがいつ出るかが分ればいいな～と思います。

I thought the water would be clearer, but the submarine's windows were dirty, making it hard to see clearly. I also didn't see as many fish as I expected. Even though we counted the number of people boarding, there weren't enough seats, so we had to squeeze in with the kids on our laps. The air conditioning coming from under our feet was cold. Overall, I felt that the experience was underwhelming for the price. It was disappointing that we could only see the turtles from a distance. There were few fish and not many varieties, so the kids got bored and looked sleepy halfway through.

もっと水が澄んでると思ってたし、潜水艦の窓が汚いのか綺麗に見えなかったし、思ってたよりも魚が見えなかった。定員数を数えて乗ってるはずなのに、席が足りないとかで子供を膝の上に乗せて詰めました。
足の下から出てくるエアコンが寒かった。
値段の割に感動が薄かったです。
亀も遠くにしか見えなくて残念でした。
魚が少ないし、種類も少なくて子供たちも途中で飽きてしまって眠そうにしてました。

I booked a boat ride through this company, and I had to reschedule twice due to flight delays. They were so helpful and accommodating with these changes. Happy I booked through them!

Not a wildlife outing as advertised. Mostly just a cruise out and back. Some nice views of diamond head but not what I had thought by the ad.

I participated with a friend. We were picked up by car from the hotel and gathered at the office near the beach for a short lecture while watching a video, then headed to the beach for a surfing experience. There are lockers available for personal belongings. When I asked the staff if there was a security box, they lent me a key that could be attached to the locker. I put my passport and wallet there without any issues.

I brought a rash guard just in case, but there were plenty available for rent, and my friend borrowed one without any problems. I was worried about not understanding English, but they provided an instructor who spoke Japanese, so there were no language issues.

There were five people in the group, and some participants were there alone. Once we got into the water to start surfing, it was a cycle of getting on the surfboard, being swept close to the shore, paddling out, and getting back on the board, so I think being alone wouldn’t be a problem.

As others have mentioned, you can generally ride the waves. Let's try to enjoy as much as we can within the time! One thing to be cautious about is the rocks and coral under the water. I injured my foot relatively early on, but I continued without worrying too much.

Even if you get hurt, there are first aid supplies at the office, and I used them as well. This became my best memory of my stay in Hawaii. Thank you very much!

友達と2人で参加しました。
ホテルに車で迎えに来てもらい、ビーチ近くの事務所に集まり、動画を見ながら短時間の講習、ビーチに行ってサーフィン体験という流れです。
私物はロッカーがあり、入れられます。
事務所の方に、セキュリティボックスはあるか聞くと、鍵を貸してもらえ、ロッカーに取り付けられます。パスポートや財布はそこに入れ、問題ありませんでした。
ラッシュガードは念のため買って行きましたが、貸し出し用のものがたくさんあり、友達はふつうに借りていました。
英語がわからず不安でしたが、日本語が話せるインストラクターの方をわざわざつけていただき、言葉の問題はありませんでした。
グループは5人で、1人で参加している方もいました。実際、海に出てサーフィンに乗り出すと、サーフィン乗る→岸付近に流される→沖までパドリング→サーフィン乗るの繰り返しなので、1人でも気にならないと思います。
あとは他の方の体験にあるように、基本的に乗れます。時間内で出来るだけトライして楽しみましょう^_^
一点だけ、海面下にある、岩やサンゴには気をつけましょう。私も足を割と序盤に怪我しました。気にせず続けましたが。
怪我しても応急処置用品は事務所にあり、私も使わせてもらいました。
ハワイ滞在で一番の思い出になりました^_^
ありがとうございました！

The day before, it was pouring rain, so I was worried about the weather, but it cleared up completely, which was great.
The boat was quite rocky, and I felt a bit nauseous, but I recovered by looking at the scenery and the ocean.
I got to see Diamond Head in all its glory.
From the sea, there were no obstacles, so it was really impressive.
I was able to see some dolphins swimming.
I didn't see any turtles, though.
But it was a valuable experience.
If you get seasick, be careful.

前の日が本気の雨だったんで、天気心配してたんですけど、すっかり晴れて良かったです。
かなり揺れて若干気分が悪くなりましたけど、景色や海を見て治しました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドがどーんと観れました。
海からだと障害物がないから迫力ありました。
イルカ達が泳いでるのを少し観れました。
カメさん達は観れなかった。
でも貴重な経験出来ました。
船酔いする人は気を付けてください。

It was amazing! I found this tour when I was hesitant about the large dinner cruises. It was a small group, and since there were hardly any Japanese people, the atmosphere was lively and very much like a party abroad! Some people got completely soaked from the splashes, but they enjoyed it nonetheless. The Mai Tai, which is also the name of the boat, comes right from the tap (laughs). Don't forget to bring a jacket, wear something that can get wet, and if you're drinking, make sure to bring your ID. I will definitely join again next time.

最高でした！
サンセットクルーズはしたいものの、大型船のディナークルーズばかりで気乗りがしなかった時に見つけたこのツアー。
少人数で、しかも日本人はほとんどいないので盛り上がり方も海外風の大騒ぎ！
波しぶきで思い切り濡れていた方もいましたが、それさえも楽しんでいました。
船の名前でもあるマイタイはなんと蛇口から出てきます(笑)
上着、濡れても良い格好、お酒を飲む方はIDをお忘れなく。
次回もまた参加します。

The kids are experiencing Hawaii for the first time! They were really excited about the first attraction. It was just cold! I think it would be better if there were more freedom with taking photos. I wasn't sure if we could take our own or if it was part of the local service. Well, at least the kids had a great time, so that's good!

子供たちは始めてのハワイ❗️一発目のアトラクションでして、とても興奮していました。ただ寒かった‼️
写真なんかはもっと自由度があるといいと思いました。自分達で、撮っていいものか現地のサービスなのか。
まぁでも子供たちはめっちゃ楽しかったということで良かったです。

We did parasailing in pairs, and while others were up in the air, the crew made jokes and kept the atmosphere lively, which was a lot of fun! The view of Honolulu from above was beautiful and amazing! It sways a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.

順番に二人ずつパラセイリングをしたのですが、他の人が上に上がっている間、クルーの方がジョークを言うなど盛り上げてくれてとても楽しかったです！上からホノルル一望を眺め、とてもきれいで最高でした！少し揺れるので、酔いやすい人は、薬を飲んだ方が良さそうです

Since it was our honeymoon, we decided to go all out and booked the most expensive VIP plan. The location is on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center next to the Sheraton Hotel in Waikiki, which is very easy to find. We were supposed to meet at 6 PM, so we arrived about 10 minutes early and showed our voucher at the reception, and they let us in right away.

There were about 15 participants in the VIP course, with 7 of them being Japanese. At 6 PM, we went to the green room… and immediately shook hands and took photos with a Michael look-alike. After that, we enjoyed some light snacks while sipping champagne and relaxing.

About 10 minutes later, the backstage tour began. The explanations were all in English, so I couldn’t understand much. I could catch a few familiar words here and there, but it was mostly just a vague understanding. We also got to wear some props used on stage and take photos.

After the backstage tour, we were guided to the front row seats right in the center of the stage, and the meal started. The menu included lobster, steak, dessert, and one premium cocktail of your choice. We were seated around 6:50 PM, and since there was an hour until the show started, we could enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. However, due to the Christmas crowd, the food took a while to come out… I didn’t have high expectations for the taste, and it was about what I expected.

At 8 PM, the show started. It began with Hawaiian songs and dances, creating a welcoming atmosphere, and then Elvis and Michael came out, which got everyone excited. The singing was really impressive!! Although it seemed difficult for them to hit Michael's high notes… Even if you didn’t know the songs, there were plenty of entertaining performances to enjoy.

We got to shake hands and received fresh flower leis, and there were surprises throughout the show… The general seating area also had random interactions like handshakes, but I was glad we chose the VIP course for this experience. Especially, the backup dancers were amazing!! They were so close that I could see each dancer's expressions and subtle movements, and the energy was incredible!! I’ve seen free dance performances at shopping centers, but this was on a whole different level.

The finale was a fire show, which was also very impressive! I thought, “Are they really going that far?” as they performed dangerous and exhilarating dances. After that, they introduced the cast and wrapped up the show.

After the show, we took commemorative photos with the cast and looked at the exhibits. Since it was Christmas, there was even a Santa wearing an aloha shirt. By this time, it was around 9:20 PM, and thanks to the temporary olioli trolley running for the year-end, we were able to return to the hotel quickly.

Even after returning to Japan, I want to see that powerful dance again! Photos were allowed, but it was really disappointing that video recording was prohibited. Putting the food aside, if I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely book this show again.

ハネムーンだし豪華にいこうと一番お高いVIPプランで予約。
場所はワイキキのシェラトンホテル隣のロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階でとても行きやすくわかりやすいです。18時集合だったので10分前くらいに行って受付でバウチャーを表示したらすぐに通してくれました。

VIPコースの参加者は15人程で、日本人は7名。18時になりグリーンルームへ…すぐさまマイケルのそっくりさんと握手し写真。その後はシャンパンを飲みながら軽食を頂き、くつろがせて頂きました。
10分程して今度はステージ裏ツアーが始まりました。全て英語での説明だったので何を言っているかわかりません。知ってる単語がたまに出たりニュアンスでなんとな〜くわかる程度でした。実際にステージで使う小道具などを装着して写真撮影もしてくれました。

裏を回った後はステージ前のど真ん中、一番手前の席に案内され食事スタート。
内容はロブスター、ステーキ、デザートと、選べるプレミアムカクテル一杯。席に案内されたのが18時50分くらいで、ショーが始まるまで１時間あるのでゆっくり食事が出来ます。しかしクリスマスで人が多いせいか料理が出てくるのが遅く…味もあまり期待はしてませんでしたがまぁこんなものかという感じでした。

20時になりショースタート。
初めはハワイの歌や踊りで歓迎ムード満載、その後エルビスやマイケルが出てきて大盛り上がり。歌がかなり上手い！！さすがにマイケルの高い声は厳しいようでしたが…。
歌がわからなくても、観客を楽しませる演出盛りだくさんです。
握手したり生花のレイを貰えたり、サプライズがあったり…一般席の方もランダムで握手などしていましたが、ここらへんはVIPコースにして良かったなと思いました。
特に、バックダンサーの踊りがすごい！！とにかく近いので、ダンサー一人一人の表情や細かい動き、振動もすぐ側で感じられて、とても大迫力でした！！ショッピングセンターで無料のダンス等見ましたが、それとはレベルが違います。

ラストはファイヤーショーでこれまた大迫力！え、そこまでするの！？とデンジャラスで疾走感ある踊りを見せてくれました。その後キャストの紹介をして終了です。

終了後はキャストと記念撮影したり展示を見たり、クリスマスなのでアロハシャツを着たサンタもいました。この時点で21時20分くらい、年末でolioliトロリーの臨時便が走っていた為すぐにホテルまで帰ることができました。

日本に帰ってきても、あの迫力ある踊りをまた見たくなります！写真はOKですが動画撮影禁止なのがすごく残念。料理は置いといて、次ハワイに行くことがあれば間違いなくこのショーを予約します。

I tried it for the first time.
I received a brief lecture at the beginning, and then it was all about the experience.
I learned in Japanese from a local person.
It was fun.

初めてチャレンジしました。
初めに少しレクチャーを受けて、あとは体験ーでした。
現地の方から、日本語で教わりました。
楽しかったです。

My wife and I really enjoyed our trip. The boat was easy to get on and off and the snorkel destination is close by. We went at the end of December and there were at least 5 turtles swimming with us. Lots of fun for a quick and easy adventure. The views of waikiki on he way home were a plus!

This was my sixth time participating. In the past five times, I only had the premium cocktails and show tickets. While that was enjoyable enough, this time I participated in the VIP seats for the first time as part of the monitor tour. I had a valuable experience visiting the backstage and taking photos while wearing the performers' decorations. The lobster from the course dinner was delicious, and the tenderloin steak was also very tasty and tender. I was able to enjoy my meal slowly while sipping cocktails.

The show was incredible, with the performers I always watched from the front row right in front of me... It was just moving! I could feel the stars' breath up close, and it was truly a wonderful stage. After experiencing this, I definitely want to be in the VIP section next time as well.

この度は、６回目の参加でした。過去５回は、プレミアカクテルやショーチケットだけでした。それでも十分楽しめましたが、モニターツアーということで初めてVIP席で参加しました。楽屋を見学したり、出演者の装飾を身に付けて写真を撮ったりして貴重な体験をさせていただきました。コースディナーのロブスターが美味しく、テンダーロインステーキもやわらくてとても美味しかったです。カクテルを飲みながらゆっくりと食事ができました。
ショーは、ステージ最前列でいつも見ていた、出演者達がすぐ目の前に･･･。
もう、感動！感動！スター達の息遣いを間近に感じられて本当に素晴らしいステージでした。この経験をしてしまうと次回もVIPでお世話になりたいですね。

The boat crew was very fun, always teasing us a little and making us laugh, which made the experience really enjoyable.

The three South American people who were riding with us were also friendly and engaged in conversation, which added to the enjoyment.

Since we were both flying together, we couldn't take pictures of each other, but it was great to chat while flying and have a lively time together.

ボートのクルーがとても楽しい人で、ちょっかいをちょこちょこ出してくれたり、笑わせてくれたりしてとても楽しかったです。

一緒に同乗していた南米系の3人組の方たちも気さくに話しかけてくれて、とてもエンジョイできました。

二人一緒に飛ぶので、お互いの写真を取り合うことはできなかったのですが、一緒に話しながら飛べたので、きゃーきゃーワイワイできてよかったです。

The explanations in Japanese were very helpful. The child who was a little scared to ride the submarine became excited and started looking around underwater once we dove in.

I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take anti-nausea medication.

日本語で説明もあって、とても助かりました。
潜水艦に乗るのを少し怖がっていた子供も潜りだしたら、興奮して海の中を眺めていました。

酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

The staff spoke very friendly Japanese and chatted with us the whole time, which was really fun. They helped us catch waves that were easy to ride, and I was able to stand up! I even felt like I wanted to challenge myself with slightly bigger waves! It was that fulfilling!

とてもフレンドリーな日本語を話せるスタッフがいて、ずっと喋ってくれてとても面白かったし、サーフィン自体も乗りやすい波に乗せてくれて立つことができました！！もう少し大きな波に挑戦もしたくなりました！そのくらい達成感があります！！

The venue is located right in the middle of Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu, at the Hawaiian Royal Center, making it easy to find. You can see Polynesian performances and rock 'n' roll, including Elvis. While Elvis seems to show a bit of age, a new addition, Moana, has joined, allowing you to enjoy both historical and contemporary Hawaii. As for Michael, it might make you think of Hawaii, but overall, the show is short and allows you to enjoy Hawaii.

ホノルルカラカウア通り、ど真ん中、ハワイアンロイヤルセンターにある会場なので、場所か分かりやすい、ポリネシアンとロックンロール、エルビスが見れる。
エルビスが少し年を感じるようになったが、新しくモアナ、女性が加わり、昔から現在のハワイを楽しめると思います。
マイケルは、ハワイ？とは思いますが、ショー全体は短い時間で、ハワイを楽しめると思います。

This was a great snorkeling trip. The boat was great and the crew was outstanding. My son had a blast. The turtles were amazing. the lunch was good and overall an outstanding experience. Thanks for a great time.
