All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

I went to the big show in Hawaii at the Royal Hawaiian Center!
First of all, it's easily accessible since it's located in the Hawaiian Center.
This time, I experienced the show from a VIP seat, which allowed me to enjoy a close-up view, and I also indulged in a course dinner for a luxurious experience.
The show features a rock vibe from the past, including performances of songs by Michael Jackson, as well as some calming Hawaiian tunes.
It's not just the singing; the powerful dances are also a must-see.
The show lasts about an hour, and you will be captivated the entire time—satisfaction is guaranteed. If you're going to see it, I highly recommend the VIP seats! It's definitely entertaining!
I was truly satisfied with the content, which exceeded my expectations!
I want to see it again!

ロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にあるハワイのビックショーに行ってきました！
まずはハワイアンセンターにあるのでアクセスが良いです。
今回はVIP席でショーを見ることになったので、かなり近くからの席の経験ができたのと、コースディナーも満喫することでリッチな体験ができました。
ショーの内容は昔のロックなテイストで、マイケルジャクソンなどをみたり、ハワイらしい落ち着いたテイストの曲などもあります。
歌だけではなく迫力満点のダンスなどにも要注目です。
ショーは約1時間。この1時間は魅力されっぱなしで満足すること間違いなしです。せっかく見るならVIP席をオススメします！絶対に面白いです！
期待以上の内容で本当に満足でした！
また見たいです！

My first parasailing experience in Hawaii was refreshing and liberating, just as I expected, if not more! I had a really fun experience and was very satisfied! I don't know when I'll be able to go again, but I'm aiming for my next try!

初めてのハワイでのパラセイリングは、期待通りの、いいえそれ以上の爽快感と開放感じでした❕
本当に楽しい経験が出来て大満足でした❗
次いつ行けるか分かりませんが、next try を目指しますよー

I was torn between a traditional luau in the suburbs and this one, but I decided on the Rock-a-Hula show because it was within walking distance from the hotel and there was no need for bus transportation, plus the promotional price was tempting. I'm really glad I chose this one. First of all, the food was delicious! Unlike other dishes I've had in Hawaii, the seasoning was not too strong, just right, and although it was luxurious and plentiful, it wasn't greasy at all, so I finished it all quickly. There were also Japanese staff members in the hall who frequently checked in on us, which made me feel at ease. The content of the hula show was a great mix of traditional elements and some well-known songs from a bit earlier, so the time flew by without getting boring. The impersonators of Michael and Elvis were also very talented and entertaining. While some might say the show was short, I felt satisfied with the rich content. I hope to come back and see it again someday. Thank you very much! (´∀｀*)!!!

ぎりぎりまで郊外の伝統的なルアウかこちらかで迷いましたが、ホテルから徒歩圏内でバス移動がないことと、モニター価格につられてロック・ア・フラショーに決めましたが、こちらに決めて本当に良かったです。まず、お料理が美味しい！今までハワイでさんざん食べたほかのお料理と違って味付けが濃くなく丁度よく、豪華で量も多いのですが油っこくないのでぺろっと食べてしまいました。ホールには日本人らしき従業員もおられて、こまめに声掛けをしてくれるので安心して過ごすことができました。フラショーの内容も、伝統的なものに少し前の有名な曲等を織り交ぜて飽きさせることなくあっという間に時間が経ちました。マイケルやエルビスのそっくりさんも
とても上手く演じていて楽しめました。ショーが短いという意見もありますが、内容が濃いので満足出来ました。いつかまた機会があったら見にきたいと思います。ありがとうございました(´∀｀*)!!!

It was definitely one of our favorite adventures on our honeymoon.!!!

I think it's a great way to have fun in Hawaii! It has a refreshing and liberating feeling, and I thought I would like to do it again when I come back to Hawaii.

ハワイでの遊び方の１つとしてかなりいいと思います！
爽快感と開放感があり、またハワイに来た時にはやりたいなと思いました

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour. There were four sea turtles swimming, and I was able to see them up close when they surfaced for air. However, it was disappointing to see someone of Asian descent touching the sea turtles at that time. After that, we cruised for about an hour before returning.

12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。ウミガメが4匹泳いでおり、息継ぎで浮上した際には間近で見る事が出来ました。ただ、その時にアジア系の人がウミガメに触れており、残念でした。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。

It was my first time at such a height, so I was a bit scared, but it was refreshing and I really enjoyed it. I could see all of Waikiki, and the view was beautiful. There was a forecast for thunderstorms, but there were also some clear skies, which was nice.

初めての高さだったので少し怖いかなと思っていましたが、爽快感がありとても楽しめました(^^)
ワイキキを一望できて、景色もキレイでした。
雷雨予報だったのですが、少し晴れ間もありよかったです☆

I participated again this year. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head was amazing, and I felt like a bird—it was so refreshing! I'm thinking about joining again next year!

去年に続き参加
ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見渡せて
鳥になった気分で超気持ち良かったです〜
また来年も参加しよっかなぁ〜

Convenient lessons at a beach near Honolulu Zoo. There is also hotel pick-up, making it easy to participate. The staff are very friendly, and even complete beginners can quickly improve and have fun. The participation fee is also reasonable.

ホノルル動物園の近くの　便利なビーチでのレッスン。ホテルへの送迎もあり　手軽に参加できます。スタッフの皆さん　とてもフレンドリーで　全くの初心者でも　すぐに上達出来て楽しめます。参加費も　お手頃です。

It was sunny and very pleasant!!
I originally heard it would take about 8 minutes, but it felt like it wasn't that long?? I was a bit disappointed about that (>д<)
Even at 120 meters, it was very impressive!!

晴れていてとても気持ちよかったです！！
もともと8分と聞いてましたがそんなになかった？？ような気がしたのが少し残念でした(>д<)
120メートルでもとても迫力ありました！！

The music was pumping and it was so much fun! I was lucky enough to see a double rainbow clearly from one end to the other, and it was breathtaking! The sunset was also incredibly beautiful. I want to participate again!

音楽ガンガンでとっても楽しかったです！運良くダブルレインボーで端から端までクッキリ見れて感動しました！
サンセットもとーーっても綺麗。また参加したいです！

I had been interested in parasailing for a while, and experiencing it in Hawaii was just perfect. So, I went for it. My partner, who is my wife, doesn't like heights, so I participated alone.

In my group (at 4:00 PM), all 10 other participants were foreigners. From the pickup to the return to the hotel, everything was in English ONLY. There are staff who understand Japanese on-site, so if you’re not comfortable with English, it might be a good idea to let them know in advance. That said, I’m not that fluent either, but I actually enjoyed interacting with the cheerful guide, so it was fun in its own way.

It may vary by day, but on the day I went, the boat was quite rocky (especially the waves were a bit intimidating when leaving the bay), so those who are sensitive to motion sickness should be cautious.

On the boat, there was a laid-back and cheerful captain along with two crew members. They played upbeat music, danced, and told jokes, making for a cruise filled with laughter. However, the safety instructions were clear and easy to understand, all in English, but there weren't any complicated procedures, so it was manageable.

Originally, it seems you can't fly solo, but since everyone else was participating in pairs, I ended up flying solo. They assess the wind and wave conditions to ensure safety, so it seems casual but is actually quite responsible (which is to be expected, of course).

This time, I took the 150-meter course, and when I went up, it was higher than I had imagined! Up in the air, I was surprised by how quiet it was, as I couldn't hear the boat's engine anymore. I could see the entire Diamond Head, the round horizon, and the high-rise hotels of Honolulu along with the white sandy beaches in the distance. The long-awaited aerial stroll while only hearing the sound of the wind was amazing.

As expected, I was dropped into the water at the end and high-fived everyone while returning to the dock. The ride back to the hotel, listening to the cheerful driver’s rapid-fire talk, was also enjoyable, making for a very satisfying experience.

Overall, from the hotel pickup to the return, it takes about 2 hours, so if you have any free time, I highly recommend giving it a try!

以前から興味のあった、パラセーリング。Hawaiiで体験できれば申し分ない。
・・・ということで、行ってまいりました。相方のカミさんは、高いのはダメなので、一人参加でした。
私の参加したグループ（16:00）は私以外の10名全て外人。送迎からホテル帰着まで、全て英語ONLYでした。現地には日本語わかるスタッフが居るので、英語ダメな方は、事前に伝えておいたほうが良いかも知れません。とは言え私もそんなに堪能なわけではないですが、陽気なガイドさんとのやり取りを、かえって楽しめた部分もあるので、それはそれで面白いと思いますが。
日によるとは思いますが、私の行った日はかなり船が揺れた（特に湾から出るちょっとビビるくらいの高さの波でした）ので、船に弱い方は要注意と思います。
船でもは、いい感じにいい加減(？)な乗りの良い陽気な船長とクルー2名が対乗船。ノリの良い音楽をかけて踊りながらJokeを飛ばし、終始笑いの絶えない、クルーズでした。とは言え、安全に係る説明や指示は、的確にわかりやすく、説明はすべて英語ですが、そんなに難しい手順があるわけでもなく、まあなんとかなります。
本来はSOLO(1人)では飛ばせないようなのですが、生憎皆さんペアでの参加でしたので、結局SOLOで飛部事になりました。きちんと風や揺れの状況見て判断するから大丈夫と、このあたりもいい加減なようで、きちんとしてます（まあ当たり前ですが (笑)）
今回は高さ150mのコースでしたが、上がってみると、想像していたより高い！上空では船のエンジン音も聞こえなくなり、静かなことに驚きます。遠くにダイアモンドヘッドの全景、丸い水平線、ホノルルの高層ホテル群や白い砂浜を遠望し、風の音だけを聞きながらの念願の空中散歩は最高でした。
お約束で最後に水に落とされ、皆とハイタッチしながら寄港。
また、陽気なドライバーさんのマシンガントークを聞きながらのホテルまでの帰り道も楽しく、大満足な体験ができました。
TOTALではホテルでのピックアップから帰るまで、2時間程度になりますので、少しでも時間が空けられる方は、ぜひ一度お試しください。

It was my first experience with parasailing. The scenery was, of course, beautiful, and I enjoyed it throughout the cruise. Even though I took motion sickness medication, I started to feel a bit nauseous towards the end, so I think it's best for those who are anxious to definitely take the medication beforehand. For those traveling to Hawaii, it's an easy activity to participate in, and I would recommend it to friends who are interested in parasailing. One thing that I found a bit unsatisfactory was that the price was the same even without transportation. They also firmly requested a tip in broken Japanese.

パラセーリング初体験でした。景色はもちろんの事、クルーズ中も楽しめます。
酔い止め飲んでても最後の方気持ち悪くなったので、不安な方は必ず酔い止め飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。ハワイ旅する方には手軽に参加できるし、パラセーリング友達にもおすすめしたいアクティビティーです。
ひとつだけ、送迎なしでも同価格ってのが納得のいかない所ですかね。チップも片言の日本語できっちり要求されました。

The surf lesson I participated in this time was carefully taught by the staff, focusing on beginners. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, and the surfer staff who supported us in the water used simple Japanese to explain things, making it easy to understand! I would love to try surfing again!

今回参加したこのサーフレッスンは初心者向けの内容を丁寧にスタッフの方が教えてくれていました。また、日本語を話せるスタッフの方もいますし、海に入ってサポートしてくれるサーファーのスタッフも日本語を簡単ですが使って教えてくれるのでわかりやすかったです！
またサーフィンをやってみたいです！

The sunset was wonderful, and the crew and fellow passengers were fantastic! My 9-year-old nephew, who was nervous about his first overseas trip until the day before, was thrilled and exclaimed, "Hawaii is so much fun!" They provided not only alcohol but also juice, making it enjoyable for everyone from 3 years old to those in their 70s! It's no surprise that there are people who participate every year!

サンセットも素晴らしく、クルーや同乗の皆さんのノリも最高！
前日までは初の海外旅行におののいていた9歳の甥がこのセーリングを機に「ハワイ楽しい！」と大はしゃぎでした。お酒だけでなく、ジュースも用意していただいているので3歳児から70代まで楽しめます！
毎年参加されてる方がいるのも納得！

It was my first time, but I was able to ride the waves! Everyone was very kind and taught us well. We were divided into two groups, with one teacher who was very attentive (possibly a teacher for smaller classes) and another who encouraged us to practice more. I ended up with the practice-oriented teacher, so I was able to ride the waves many times. However, it really requires a lot of stamina, so it's best to be prepared. I got tired halfway through.

Also, the next day, you will definitely feel quite sore! But I’m glad I did it.

As a note, it's better to eat lightly before surfing. My husband ate too much for breakfast and ended up feeling sick, so he could only ride the waves twice and spent most of the time watching from the beach (laughs).

初めてだけど、波に乗れました！みなさん丁寧に教えてくれます。
2つグループに分かれていて、丁寧に教えてくれる先生（もしかしたら少人数レッスンの先生かも）とどんどん実践をさせる先生がいました。
私は実践させる先生にあたったので、何度も何度も波にのれました。
ただ、本当に体力が必要なので、心して行ったほうが良いです。私は途中でバテてしまったので。
あと、次の日はかなり筋肉痛になります！でもやってよかったです。

注意点としては、サーフィン前のご飯は少なめのほうが良いです。一緒に行った夫は朝ごはんを食べすぎてしまい、気持ち悪くなって2本しか波に乗れず、ほとんど浜辺で見ていました（苦笑）

At first, I had low expectations, but the entertainment was of very high quality and I really enjoyed it. One downside was that the spacing between the tables in the VIP section was narrow; I would have liked a bit more room.

最初はあり期待をしていませんでしたがエンターテイメントしてクオリティが非常に高く楽しめました。ちょっと残念だったのがVIP席のテーブル間隔が狭かった事、もう少し隙間がほしかった。

After gathering at 16:30 and completing the procedures, you can spend time at the beach or inside the Outrigger, and then move to the boat at 16:45. You will be asked to take off your shoes, so I recommend wearing sandals that are easy to remove! Inside the boat, you will be barefoot. Since it’s a cruise where alcohol is served, I brought my passport for age verification, but I wasn't asked to show it. Depending on the wave conditions (it wasn't enough to make me seasick), the boat can sway quite a bit, so it’s better not to bring valuables if you plan to place your bags or belongings on the shelves inside the boat. There are benches where you can sit. All announcements are in English, but they will show you a Japanese instruction manual. (It seems to be shared with the day cruise, so the pricing explanation is slightly different.) The return is scheduled for 18:30, but on the day I participated, we returned to the beach at 18:45. There seems to be a restroom available, but I didn't use it, so I can't provide details.

Drinks included cocktails, champagne, wine, beer, and possibly Sprite and cola. Be careful not to spill since it can sway! Everyone was enjoying themselves, drinking and taking in the scenery. You can watch the sunset until the sun goes down, but be cautious with your hat as the sea breeze can be strong!

16:30集合で手続きした後はビーチやアウトリガー内で時間を潰して、16:45に船に移動します。靴は脱いでねー！と言われますのですぐ脱げるサンダルがよいと思います♪船内は裸足です。アルコールが飲めるクルーズなので年齢確認されるかとパスポート持参しましたが特に提示を求められることはありませんでした。波の状態により(酔うほどではなかったです)結構揺れますので、両手が空くバッグか荷物を船内の棚に置く場合は貴重品はなるべく持参されない方がよいかと。座っていられるベンチもあります。アナウンスは全て英語ですが、日本語の説明書を見せてくれます。(デイクルーズと共有のようで、ちょっと料金説明が異なりますが)18:30帰着ですが参加した日はビーチに戻ったのは18:45着でした。トイレも付いているようですが、使わなかったので詳細は不明です。
ドリンクはカクテルにシャンパン、ワイン、ビール、スプライトやコーラなどもあったようです。揺れるのでこぼさないように注意です！皆さんお酒を飲んだり景色を眺めたり思い思いに過ごされていて楽しめます♪サンセットも日が沈むまでずっと眺めていられましたが、海風が強いので帽子は飛ばされないようにご注意を！

I booked this trip based on the great reviews for a two-person journey with my mother, who loves cruising and sailing! We arrived a bit late and caused some inconvenience, but everyone was so kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the beautiful sea created the best memories. Since the boat sways quite a bit, I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are worried about getting seasick! If I get the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again! 😊

クルージングやセーリングが好きな母との2人旅で、レビューの良かったこちらを予約しました！
少し遅れてしまい、迷惑をかけてしまいましたが、皆さん優しく迎えてくれてありがたかったです。綺麗な海からワイキキの景色とダイアモンドヘッドが見れて、最高の思い出になりました。
結構揺れがあるので、船酔いが心配な方は、酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします！
またハワイに行くことが出来たら絶対に、また参加したいです(^^)

Parasailing off the coast of Kaka'ako was fun with great weather. It was my first time in 20 years, and it was amazing. The pickup location changed due to a parade, but I had checked it out the day before, so it was fine.

カカアコ沖でのパラセリングお天気も良く楽しかったです。
２０年ぶりにしましたが最高でした。
ピックアップ場所がパレードの為変更になりましたが前日に
下見に行ったので大丈夫でした。

Was expecting more glass, more drinking, and more swimming. But it was still a great time. The guides were great and knowledgeable. And we saw turtles!

Great Experience parasailing @ Waikiki. No issues finding the smallish “World Headquarters” and the crew was a blast. Definitely go big with the 1000’ option. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head.

Unfortunately, the sunset was obscured by thick clouds, but sailing while enjoying drinks with the cheerful staff was very pleasant! When night fell, we were able to see a big full moon, so I think it turned out well in the end.

I participated on the last day in Hawaii, which was a bit bittersweet, but it became a good memory.

It was difficult to find the meeting place. Following the directions, I went through the lobby of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel to get to the beach, but I couldn't find the booth and ended up wandering around. Also, although I made a reservation for two, I was told at the reception that it was booked for six, and they took a photo of my reservation details. I think it's a good idea to bring something that shows your reservation details just in case!

Additionally, please be careful as you will get quite wet when boarding and disembarking from the boat.

サンセットはあいにく雲が厚く見ることができませんでしたが、陽気なスタッフさんたちとお酒を飲みながらのセーリングはとても気持ちよかったです！夜になると大きな満月を見ることができたので、結果オーライかなと思います。
ハワイ最終日に参加し、ちょっぴり切なく、でも良い思い出になりました。
集合場所が分かりづらかったのは困りました。案内の通りにシェラトンワイキキホテルのロビーを通ってビーチへ出ましたが、ブースが見当たらず右往左往しました。また、2名で予約しましたが、受付では6名で予約されていると言われ、予約詳細画面の写真を撮られました。もしもの時のために、予約詳細が分かるものは持参した方がいいと思います！
また、船への乗り降りの際はかなり濡れますのでご注意ください。

You can set sail in the bright evening, watch the sunset, and then enjoy the sparkling night views of seaside hotels after the sun goes down. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii.

夕方の明るい時に出航しサンセットを見たのち、日が落ちた後のキラキラした海沿いのホテルなどの夜景を楽しめます。ハワイの素敵な思い出になりました。

I participated with my mother. On the day, there were only three of us, including another group of women. After enjoying the view 150 meters up in the air with my mother, we unexpectedly went up again with the other group of women! I’m grateful for the staff's thoughtful arrangement! I was a bit anxious since everything was in English, but they humorously said, "You are a lucky girl!" and we got to enjoy another aerial walk. The view was amazing, and it became a lifelong memory.

母と二人で参加しました。
当日は私たちともう一組女性の方の3人のみで、先に母と150ｍ上空に上がって景色を楽しんだ後、まさかまさかのもう一組の女性と二人で上空に！スタッフの粋なはからいに感謝！全部英語なので不安でしたが、「ユーアーラッキーガール！」とユーモアたっぷりでもう一度空中散歩を楽しめて、景色も最高で一生の思い出になりました。

My friend, who has weak eyesight and needs prescription goggles to dive, was able to participate, so I signed up. They were very happy to observe the natural fish and sea turtles swimming in the coral reefs, which were different from those in the aquarium.

視力が弱く、ダイビングするにも度付きゴーグルをしなければならない友達が参加出来そうなので申し込みました
水槽の中とは違ったサンゴ礁を泳ぐ天然の魚たちや海ガメを観察できてとても喜んでもらえました

Since my child dislikes skydiving, we opted for parasailing instead. The captain and the pilot provided explanations in simple Japanese, which were more than enough. The parasailing experience ascended in no time, and my child was able to enjoy the breathtaking views from the sky without feeling scared. Next, I would love to try super javelin!

子供がスカイダイビングを嫌がるので
パラセーリングにしました。
キャプテンと操縦士さんは楽しく
片言の日本語で説明でも十分でした。
パラセーリングはあっと言う間に上がり
子供も怖がる間もなく、空から絶景をみる事が出来ました(^^)
次はスーパージャボンがして見たいなぁ〜

It was the best tour I've ever participated in. There were only the two of us Japanese, and the rest were foreigners, but there were so many fish, and it was my first experience swimming so close to a sea turtle. It was an emotional moment after visiting Hawaii so many times.

今までの参加したツアーの中で最高のツアーでした。
日本人は私たち二人で後は外人ばかりでしたが、魚が沢山いたうえに、ウミガメとあんなに近くで一緒に泳げたのは、初めての経験でした。
渡ハ何十回めにしての感動ものでした。

The shuttle staff were kind, and the staff on the board were really funny, making it a lot of fun! For first-timers, there might be a little fear at the moment of takeoff, but you quickly go up, and once you reach 150 meters, you can see the hotel and Diamond Head, which was really beautiful! Also, everyone participating, except for the staff, were Japanese, so I was able to chat with them comfortably! Since it was a tandem parasailing experience and I was participating alone, I flew together with another Japanese woman I met there! By the way, she flew twice!

送迎の方も優しく、ボードのスタッフもすごく面白い方ですごく楽しかったです！初めての方は飛ぶ瞬間少し怖さがあるかもですが、一瞬にして上まで行きますし、150mまで達してたら
ホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドなどが一望できすごく綺麗でした！また参加している方はスタッフ以外、日本人の方だったので仲良く話すことも出来ました！2人乗りのパラセーリングだったので1人での参加だったので、そこで初めましての他の日本人女性の方と一緒に飛びました！ちなみその方には2回飛んで頂きました！

The weather was nice, but unfortunately, clouds appeared just as the sun was setting on the horizon, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset, which was very disappointing. The captain of the boat and the two staff members who were also the bartender were friendly and fun, but they didn't speak Japanese. However, since we weren't having difficult conversations, it was enough to enjoy the scenery while drinking and having fun on the yacht. This time, there were more waves than expected, and when we headed out to sea, it felt like a roller coaster, but that was enjoyable too.

お天気は良かったのに、太陽が水平線に沈む頃に雲が出てきてせっかくのサンセットが見られずとても残念でした。
船のキャプテンとクルー兼バーテンダーの2人のスタッフはフレンドリーで楽しい方でしたが、日本語は通じませんでした。ですが難しい話をする訳ではないので、景色を見ながらお酒を飲んでヨットを楽しむには十分です。
今回は思いの外、波のうねりがあり沖に向かって行く時はジェットコースターのようでしたがそれもまた楽しめました。
