All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

It was amazing.
This time, we participated as a family of five.
Unfortunately, the sunset was cloudy...
The crew explained everything in English.
I thought all the guests would be English speakers, but about a third of the passengers were Japanese this time.
When boarding, there are waves, so depending on the situation, you might get wet up to your thighs.
The fast-paced English and long explanations were a bit hard to follow, but it all worked out, and the international crowd was lively and fun to be around.
The crew mixed in jokes and kept the atmosphere lively.
For those who enjoy alcohol, it must be even better.
With reggae music playing, there was unlimited Mai Tais, champagne, juice, etc.
However, if you get carried away, you might feel a bit unwell.
The scenery was fantastic. The view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive.
Since we were riding the waves, we got splashed a bit, which was part of the fun.
Once we went a bit offshore, we raised the sails and moved with the wind, so it felt like sailing.
It felt like two canoes connected, so there wasn't much side-to-side rocking,
and I felt safe while on board.
The ride lasted about an hour and a half.
It was quite a hidden gem of a tour.
Next time, we all talked about wanting to wear swimsuits and have a blast during the day.

最高でした。
今回、家族５人での参加でした。
サンセットは残念ながら、曇りだったので...
クルーはすべて英語での説明。
お客さんもすべてと思っていたのですが、
今回は３分の１くらい日本人が乗船していました。
乗船するときは波があるので、場合によっては太ももぐらいまで濡れてしまいます。
早い口調での英語、しかも長い説明でったので、分からないこともありましたが、何とかなるもので、海外の人たちはノリがいいし、一緒に楽しむことがいいと思います。
クルーたちが冗談混じりで、盛り立ててくれるし。
お酒が好きな人にはさらに最高でしょう。
レゲー調の音楽が流れる中で
マイタイ、シャンパン、ジュース、etc...飲み放題。
ただし、調子に乗りすぎると少し気分が悪くなるかも。
景色も最高です。海側からのワイキキの眺めもなかなかのものでした。
波に乗りながら行くので少し水しぶきがかかります。それも楽しみの一つです。
少し沖に出ると帆をあげて、風を受けての進行なので、ヨットそのものです。
カヌーが２連つないだ感じなので、横揺れがあまりなく、
安心して乗っていることができました。
約１時間半の乗船でした。
なかなかの穴場的なツアーでした。
次は、昼に水着を着て思いっきり楽しみたいと
みんなで話していました。

It was a very pleasant atmosphere, with the sea breeze, lovely music, and I was intoxicated by the champagne. The people I was with were all nice, and I had a great time. I want to ride again when I go to Hawaii! ✨

とても雰囲気の良い空間で、海の風と素敵な音楽、シャンパンに酔いしれました。
一緒に乗っていた方も良い方ばかりで、楽しみました。
また、ハワイに行ったら乗りたいです✨

I reserved a ticket because it was highly recommended in Sho Aikawa's book, and I thought, really?? But just as my brother said, it was great!! As soon as I entered the store, a lively Elvis greeted us with a pose. The high level of Elvis's singing, MJ's dancing, the beautiful and fun hula, the impressive fire dance, and the excitement when Elvis came down to the audience to drape leis and scarves over us created a fantastic atmosphere; the hour flew by. Just as Sho Aikawa wrote, I enjoyed a wonderful show. I will definitely go again when I come back to Hawaii!

哀川翔さんの本で、熱く推薦されていたので、ほんと？？と思いながら予約しましたが、兄貴のいうとおり、よかった！！です。お店にはいるや、ギンギンのエルビスがポーズを決めてお出迎え。エルビスの歌唱力の高さ、MJのダンス、フラの美しく楽しい事、ファイアダンスの見事なこと、また、エルビスが客席に降りてきてレイやスカーフをかけてくれるサービスには歓声があがって、大盛り上がり、1時間はあっという間でした。哀川翔さんの書いている通り、素敵なショーを楽しませていただきました。またハワイに来たら行きます！

It was a windy day, so the boat rocked more than I expected, and I almost got seasick. But the sunset and the night view of Waikiki Beach from the sea were so beautiful that I was glad I joined this tour!

風が強い日だったので、思った以上に船が揺れてもう少しで酔ってしまいそうでした。
でも夕日と、海から見たワイキキビーチの夜景がとてもきれいでこのツアーに参加してよかったと思いました！

The catamaran is so clean and has a bar onboard. The staff is amazing and everyone made us feel comfortable and ready for snorkling.

We participated in the VIP+ Backstage Tour. There were only the two of us on this course! It was a fun and unique experience that gave us a sense of superiority. The delicious cocktails and lobster were amazing! The main dishes—steak, salmon, and truffle potatoes—were all delicious! Unfortunately, since we are not from the Elvis generation, there were many photos of Michael Jackson instead. We enjoyed it from the front row, center seats. The Hawaiian female singer, female dancers, and male dancers were impressive! The dining staff also engaged with us. It felt great. The first photo taken with Elvis was included (which costs 2500 yen if you don't participate in the backstage tour), so it was definitely worth the price.

VIP+バックステージツアーに参加。このコース参加は我々夫婦二人だけ！未体験の初体験で優越感もあって楽しかったです。美味しいカクテル、ロブスター美味しい！メインのステーキ、サーモン、トリュフポテト、全部美味しい！残念ながら、エルビス世代ではないので、やっぱり、マイケル・ジャクソンの写真撮影多数。一番前の中央かぶりつきシートで堪能しました。ハワイアンも女性シンガー、女性ダンサー、男性ダンサー、迫力有り！食事のスタッフも声をかけてくれます。いい感じです。最初にエルビスと撮った写真が含まれていて（バックツアー参加してないと2500円）、価格的には充分な価値有ります。

This was a last minute decision for my mom and I after previous plans were cancelled. I am so excited that we choose the Manu Kai Catamaran Waikiki Boat Tour. It was amazing!!! Even though we were running behind schedule, we called and let them know, and they waited for us. The service crew was top notch. We only drank water, but they kept checking to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The water was rough which actually added to the experience. We were able to sit down front and enjoy the waves without having to get in the water. I can't wait to take my husband back on this trip because my mom and I had such a great time. You can't lose by choosing the Manu Kai team!!!

It seemed that 90% of the passengers were American. I think it would be better to display the drink menu as well. I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't experience any at all, and it was great to go quite far offshore and see a different side of Hawaii.

乗船者の9割がアメリカ人と思われた。ドリンクもメニューを掲示するとかした方が良いと思う。心配していた船酔いは全くなく、結構沖合いまで行けて違った面のハワイを見れて良かった。

I participated with my mother.
The reception counter was a bit hard to find, and we were slightly late, but the staff welcomed us warmly.
The captain and the bartender were both very cheerful, and when we went to take photos, they let us hold the ship's wheel and even took pictures of that moment!
On the day of our cruise, it was windy and cloudy, but the sea breeze felt amazing, unlike anything I had experienced before, and the night view of Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful!
The special Mai Tai was very delicious, and the champagne was also great, so they even accommodated us with a Mai Tai and champagne mix, which made both my mother and me very satisfied!
I would like to participate in this tour again on my next trip to Hawaii!

母と2人での参加でした。
受付カウンターがわかりにくく、少し遅れてしまったのですがスタッフの方も快く迎えてくださいました。
船長さんもバーテンの方もとても愉快な方で、写真を撮りに行ったときに船の舵を握らせてくれてその場面の撮影までしてくれました！
乗船日は風が強く曇ってはいたのですが、今までに感じたことのない海の風がとても気持ちよくまた、海からみるワイキキビーチの夜景がとてもきれいでした！
特製のマイタイもとてもおいしく、シャンパンもおいしかったのでマイタイ×シャンパンにも対応していただき、母も私も大満足でした！
また次回のハワイの時もこのツアーに参加したいと思っています！

I had my first overseas trip and my first surfing experience. The instructor was kind, and even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves decently within an hour! If I go on my next trip to Hawaii, I would like to request Hands Heideman!

初の海外旅行、初のサーフィン体験をしました。インストラクターの方も優しく、初めての私でも1時間でそこそこ乗れる？所までなりました！ 次回のハワイ旅行に行くなら、ハンズ・ヒーデマンでお願いしたいです！

On October 7th, my wife and I participated during our honeymoon. The location is inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in the heart of Waikiki, which allowed us to enjoy it leisurely after shopping. After checking in, we entered through the VIP entrance and enjoyed a welcome drink and dinner! The food was very good, and there were Japanese staff members, which made us feel at ease! The show featured traditional Hawaiian hula dancing and even an appearance by MJ, which captivated the audience. It was a very exciting and enjoyable time! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate!

10月7日、新婚旅行中に妻と参加させてもらいました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあり、ワイキキの中心部ということで買い物終わりにゆっくりと楽しむことができました。
受付を済ませてVIP専用入口から入り、ウエルカムドリンク、夕食を楽しみました！味もとてもよかったうえ、日本人のスタッフもいますので、安心できました！！
ショーは、ハワイの伝統のフラダンスあり、ＭＪ？笑の登場もあり、観客を魅了するショーとなっており、とても盛り上がり、楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました！！
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います！

I ended up going towards the Sheraton Hotel near Waikiki to get to the meeting point, which made me a bit flustered, but I managed to arrive on time. I enjoyed the night view of Waikiki while sipping on Mai Tais and soft drinks, and then there were the fireworks from Hilton. It was a time to forget about everyday life! It was a bit disappointing that it started to drizzle after the fireworks. The atmosphere around me was lively, with many foreigners engaging in conversation. I don't know why, but it was fun!

乗り場に行くのにシェラトンホテルのワイキキ寄りに行ってしまい慌ててしまいましたが無事に集合時間に間に合いました。マイタイやソフトドリンクを飲みながらワイキキの夜景を鑑賞、そしてヒルトンの花火。日常を忘れる時間でした！花火後、雨がパラパラと降ってきたのが残念だったかな。周りの雰囲気は外国の方が多く話が盛り上がっていました。なんかわからないけど楽しかったです。

What a fabulous way to begin a vacation in Oahu! The Captain and Tour Director we’re knowledgeable, generous and entertaining. They made the first day of our vacation even more special than my husband and I imagined! Thank you!!

The weather was cloudy, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset I was looking forward to, but the Mai Tai Catamaran was really great. I could see Diamond Head beautifully, and the staff created a wonderful atmosphere. I was alone, but I had a lot of fun. As it got dark, the night view of Waikiki was beautiful.

天気が、曇りだったので、楽しみにしてぃたサンセットは綺麗に見れず、残念でしたが、マイタイカタマラン号は凄く良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたし、スタッフの方も雰囲気を盛り上げてくださり、私は1人でしたが、とても楽しめました。暗くなって、ワイキキの夜景が綺麗でした。

when we arrived there was a traditional Hawaiian dance to greet us. we then went into the venue for appetizers, which were well presented and very tasty. when we went into the main stage area we could not believe the position of our seat. right in front of the stage. the meal was exquisite and all 4 courses were cooked to perfection. when the show started the production was amazing. it was choreographed like a Broadway show. the Elvis impersonator sounded great and really looked the part. When he went through the crowd during "Suspicious Minds" he kept laughing between lyrics, just like Elvis did in his live performances. a simple touch but excellent attention to detail. We also had a Michael Jackson performer who was also very good and entertaining. His 'Moon Walk' routine was spot on.

Overall it was an exceptional evening out that beat all our expectations

Even the regular seating had great views so it doesn't matter which meal plan you book, just book it you will not be disappointed !!!

My husband is not good with heights, so we participated in a tour that was 110 meters high. There were five groups on the same boat, including us, with two groups being Japanese. The boat ride to the parasailing location was quite bumpy, so I strongly recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication. Thanks to the motion sickness medication I took, I was able to enjoy the ride on the sea.

While there were moments when we were slightly swayed by the wind up in the air, it was generally very stable, allowing us to enjoy the distant scenery at a leisurely pace. I was told that photos would be taken on an SD card for about $30, but we decided not to request them. However, now that I think about it, I wish we had asked for some photos of ourselves while we were up in the air, as we couldn't take any ourselves. Most people took photos from the air with their own cameras. If you put your smartphone in a waterproof case and hang it around your neck, you can bring it up with you.

When coming down from the air to the boat, they asked us how wet we wanted to get, with options like not getting wet at all, up to the knees, waist, shoulders, or head. We chose to get wet up to our knees, but there were others who enjoyed getting fully soaked up to their shoulders. For those with a fear of heights, it may not be highly recommended depending on the severity of their fear. My husband said it was a good experience, but he seemed quite scared.

There were also participants who were a mother with two children, so I think children over elementary school age can enjoy it together.

主人が高所が苦手なため高さ110mのツアーに参加しました。
同じボートには私たちを含めて5組が乗船していて日本人が2組でした。
パラセーリングをする場所までの移動は船がかなり揺れるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲むことを強くおすすめします。
私は酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、海上での移動中も楽しめました。
上空では少し風にあおられる時もありましたが、基本的にはとても安定していて遠くの景色をゆっくり楽しむことができました。
写真はSDカードに100枚ほど記録してくれて30ドルと言われましたが、お願いしませんでした。ただ、自分たちが上空にいる時の写真は自分たちでは撮れないので、今思うと記念にお願いすればよかったかなとも思います…。
上空からの写真はほとんどの人が自分のカメラで撮っていました。
防水ケースに入れて首から下げるようにすればスマホも上空まで持っていけます。
上空からボートに降りてくるときにまったく濡れない、ひざ下までジャポン、腰まで、肩まで、頭まで、と細かく希望を聞いてくれました。
私たちはひざ下にしましたが、肩までしっかりジャポンしている人たちもいて楽しんでいました。
高所恐怖症の方はその度合いにもよりますが、あまりおすすめしません。
良い経験になったとは言っていましたが、主人はかなり怖かったようです(^^;
良くご相談ください。
ママとお子さん2人の3人で参加されている方もいましたので、小学生以上のお子さんであれば一緒に楽しめると思います。

This was my second time in Hawaii. While I admired the surfers riding the waves with such ease, I was filled with anxiety about handling a longboard and the rules in the water, so I thought it would be dangerous and decided to participate in a lesson with my husband.

Even as people in their 40s, we were able to fully enjoy the surfing experience thanks to the kind coaches who sent us out at the best timing for the good waves.

The next day, I thought about renting a board at the beach, but a local Japanese person warned me, "It's very dangerous, so be careful!" and I decided against it. I'm really glad I signed up for this group lesson. I highly recommend it.

2回目のハワイ。気持ちよさそうに波乗りをするサーファーに憧れる一方、ロングボードの扱い方、海の中でのルールなど不安なことだらけだったのでやっぱり危ないだろうなぁと思い、こちらのレッスンに夫婦で参加しました。
40代の私たちも親切なコーチが順番にいい波にベストなタイミングで送り出してくださったので、波乗り気分は充分に味わえました。
次の日にビーチでボードを借りようかなと思ったのですが、ローカルの日本人に「とっても危ないので気をつけて‼︎」と言われ、借りるのは断念しました。こちらのグループレッスンに申し込んでおいて、本当に良かったと思います。お勧めします。

This is for first-timers.
The staff will push the board for you, so anyone can ride the waves.
You can get a feel for the take-off.
Since you ride the waves in order at the same spot and can't choose your own waves, it's recommended for anyone who has done it at least once to take a private lesson.

初めての方用です。
スタッフがボードを押してくれるので、誰でも波に乗れます。
テイクオフの体感をつかむことができます。
同じ場所で順番に波に乗るので、自分で波を選ぶことができないため、1回でもやったことがある人は個人レッスンがおすすめです。

The location is the central spot in Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian. When I arrived, there was a hotel staff strike demonstration nearby. I worried about how much inconvenience it would cause for the guests staying there, and feeling down due to the noise, I headed to the venue. When the time came, I was welcomed with fresh hula and Mai Tai drinks. My gloomy mood was instantly lifted, and my excitement for the event reached its peak. I was escorted to the VIP seats by the stage, enjoyed the main dish, and was fully satisfied as the showtime began. The motivation was at its highest during the hula and Elvis shows. Sweet memories of my adolescence resurfaced, and for some reason, tears started flowing uncontrollably! At the exit, I took commemorative photos with the hula girls and Elvis. It was a very satisfying show.

場所はワイキキの中心スポット、ロイヤルハワイアン。ヘーゴッパで向かったところ、周辺ではホテルスタッフのストライキデモ。宿泊のゲストにどれ程の迷惑何だろうか心配し、余りの喧騒に憂鬱になりながら会場へ。時間になると、生フラとマイタイのウエルカムドリンクがお出迎え。憂鬱な気分は即座に払拭され、イベントへの期待感は最高潮へ、ステージサイドのVIP席へエスコートされ、メインディッシュに舌鼓を打ち、腹は満腹で迎えたショータイム。フラやエルビスのショーにモチベーションは最高潮に。思春期の甘い思い出が蘇り、何故か大粒の涙が堰を切って大洪水に！　出口ではフラガールやエルビスと記念写真。大満足のショーでした。

The whole experience was fun! Captain Aaron, Jerry & JJ took us out on the water and we had a wonderful time on the cruise. We were never empty handed, the music was good & the vibes were amazing. I totally recommend this cruise.

Fun trip with great crew. Need more directions on where to go to start the boat journey.

It was my first experience in a state where I couldn't have a conversation, but it was no problem at all. Since I have a fear of heights, I chose to go up to 110 meters, but I think I could have gone higher without any issues. Although we were off the coast of Waikiki, one of the reasons I was satisfied was that I could see the very beautiful deep blue sea, which is different from the coastal area. There were 14 people on the boat, including two staff members. It was a small boat, but we were able to lift off without getting our swimsuits wet, and my sunglasses didn't fall off either. Some people even brought cameras, and we comfortably enjoyed parasailing. It was very stable in the air, and it was nothing but "pleasant." The media fee for the photos (SD card cost) was high, but they took many pictures, and I think I can use one of them as the best shot for my New Year's card.

I was fine, but since we were out at sea for a while, I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

会話ができない状態で初めての体験でしたが全然問題ありませんでした。高所恐怖症なので110ｍにしましたが、もっと高くても大丈夫だったと思います。ワイキキの沖合でしたが、沿岸部とは違って非常にきれいな群青色の海が見れたことも満足した要因の一つです。ボートにはスタッフ２名を入れて14名が乗船。小型のボートでしたが水着も一切ぬれることなくその場から浮揚し、サングラスも落ちることなく、中にはカメラを持つ方もいて、快適にパラセイリングを楽しめました。空ではとても安定していて「気持ちいい」以外の何ものでもありません。撮影のメディア（ＳＤ代金）は高かったですが、何枚も撮影してくれていて年賀状のベストショットにできそうです。
　私は大丈夫でしたが、しばらくの間、沖合にいるので、酔い止めの薬を飲んでおくことをおすすめします。

It was thrilling with stunning views. For an additional $20, you can get an SD card with around 70 photos. It would have been even better if the flying time was a bit longer.

スリルと絶景で大興奮でした。
プラス20ドルで70枚前後の写真を収めたSDカードが貰えます。
もう少し飛ぶ時間が長ければ、なお良かったかな。

It was my first trip to Hawaii in 38 years with my wife. I thought watching the sunset in Hawaii would be wonderful, so I signed up for it. On the boat, we enjoyed unlimited drinks and had a great time. We chatted with a young couple next to us, the breeze felt nice, and we even saw a rainbow, which meant we could come back to Hawaii again. It was the best!

嫁とは38年ぶりのハワイ。ハワイでサンセットは素敵かなと思い申しこみました。
船の上では飲み放題でワイワイ楽しめました。
横の若い夫婦に会話してもらい、風は気持ちいいし、またハワイに来れるという虹も見れたし、最高♪

My parents in their 60s wanted to join for the first time! There were two other groups of Japanese people as well. Once we headed out to sea, we raised the sail and picked up speed, and we got splashed by the waves a few times (when standing at the edge of the boat), but that was fun. Even if you can't speak English, you can manage just fine! The staff came over several times to check if we were enjoying ourselves and if everything was okay. My parents were the happiest, so we would like to participate again.

60代の両親が乗りたい！と初めて参加しました。ほかに二組日本人がいました。
沖に出ると帆をあげてグングンスピードをあげ波が何度かかかりました(ボートのへりに立っていると)がそれが楽しかったです。
英語が話せなくてもノリで乗り切れます！
スタッフの人も何度も楽しんでるか大丈夫か声をかけにきてくれました。
両親が一番喜んでいたのでまた参加したいと思います。

I participated in the evening, and the weather was really nice, so it felt great! I enjoyed myself both on the boat and in the sky! This is definitely worth repeating! It was a shame that the meeting place was hard to find.

夕方に参加しましたが、とてもいい天気でとにかく気持ち良かったです！
船の上でも空の上でもとにかく楽しめました！
これは、リピート間違いなし！
集合場所が、わかりにくかったのが残念です。

Beautiful swimming with the turtles and fish. The staff was awesome. Funny and just wanting to help with any need we had. Beautiful view of the island and Waikiki. Thank for a Great Afternoon Guys. Aloha

I made a reservation through SUP and brought the voucher, but it seemed the staff wasn't very familiar with it, and initially, they mistook it for a rental. They also said that due to the waves that day, SUP would be dangerous, that there would be no refund for cancellations, and suggested switching to surfing. I thought it was a shame that I wouldn't get my money back if the weather prevented us from doing it.

The Japanese staff at the reception wasn't very friendly, which was a bit disappointing.

The instructor was kind and great. I was able to ride the waves. However, since there were many people around, it felt a bit dangerous as I was worried about colliding with someone. In a semi-private lesson, there are times when you end up alone, and you might be far from the instructor, so I think it's better for those who are anxious to opt for a one-on-one lesson.

I tried another surf school on a different day, and I found that one to be better, so I don't think I'll be returning here.

SUPで予約してバウチャーを持って行きましたが、受付があまり把握してない様子で、最初レンタルと勘違いされました。
また、その日の波だとSUPは危ない、キャンセル料はきかない、サーフィンに変えた方がいい、と言われ、サーフィンに。天候で出来ない場合にお金が戻らないのは勿体無いな、と思いました。
受付の日本人があまり愛想はなかったのが少し残念。

インストラクターは優しい良い方でした。波にも乗れました。ただ、場所的に人が多くいるので、ぶつかりそうで危なかったです。セミプライベートだと、どうしても1人になる時間があり、インストラクターと遠く離れるときがあるので、不安な方はマンツーマンにした方が良いかと思います。

別の日に他のサーフスクールでも体験し、そちらの方が良かったので、ここでのリピートはないかなと思います。

I made a reservation because I wanted to try it after seeing it on a Japanese TV show. The music was playing, and the staff were very energetic, which made it a lot of fun. I thought I would like to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii.

日本のテレビ番組でみたときにやってみたいと思い予約しました。
音楽も流れていて、スタッフさんたちもテンション高くてとても楽しかったです。
また次回ハワイに行ったときもやりたいなと思いました。

I was nervous about parasailing for the first time, but the view from above was amazing! The driver and the staff were friendly and it was a lot of fun. Just to be safe, I took some motion sickness medication. At first, it was calm, but then it got bumpy!

初めてのパラセイリングでドキドキでしたが、上からの景色が最高でした！ドライバーさんもスタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです。念のため、酔い止め飲んでおきました。初めは穏やかでしたが、揺れました！
