All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

The night started off with hula dancing, and then transitioned into dining and then the show. It's only being honest when I say the food was a disappointing. I guess I expected it to be a little more foreign. It tasted great and me and my mom both got more than enough. The hosts were extremely original and open and encouraging to conversation. The girls were gorgeous and so attentive. There was only one guy host, Zack and he was really considerate, High energy and fun. The show definitely climaxes. It was so exciting. All of the performers looked happy to be there and we're putting themselves into it. It's obvious that alot of effort went into the choreography, set up and music. I loved that the singing was live and the VOICES!! Wow. Micheal Jackson, Katy Perry, Elvis in mpersonations were more than exceptional.

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup and drop-off after arrival were also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

I participated with a guaranteed front-row seat. The seat was great, and since we were given priority for the buffet, I think choosing this seat was a good decision.

At the entrance of the venue, they take photos of each guest group, so there is a long line before you can take your seat.

The schedule mentions a "welcome ceremony" starting at 17:30, but it felt more like a pre-show. From 17:45, there was a "conch shell blowing challenge," but only three people selected from the audience participated. The "hula lesson" took place towards the end of the show, where about five people were chosen from the audience to dance on stage together.

If you dislike waiting for nearly an hour, it might be better to arrive around the meal start time of 18:00.

The show features dances from various Polynesian islands, and it's enjoyable. I understood only about half of the host's explanations, but having some English skills would enhance the experience.

　ゴールデンシート＜前方席確約＞で参加しました。席も良かったですし，ブッフェに優先的に案内されるので，この席にして良かったと思います。

　会場の入口でゲストを1組ずつ写真撮影するので，着席するまでに長い行列ができます。

　スケジュールには17:30から「歓迎セレモニー」とありますが「前説」みたいなものでした。17:45から「ほら貝ふきチャレンジ」とありますが，チャレンジするのは会場から選ばれた3人だけでした。「フラレッスン」は，ショーの最後の方で，5人くらいが会場から選ばれてステージ上で一緒に踊っていました。

　1時間近く待つのが嫌なら，18:00の食事開始時刻めがけて行った方が良いように思いました。

　ショーは，ポリネシア各地の踊りが見られて，楽しめます。進行役の説明は半分くらいしかわかりませんでしたが，英語力があればより楽しめるでしょう。

　

I had a great time! I'm glad I did it! All the participants at the same time were foreigners, but everyone was friendly and it was fun. It wasn't a problem at all that I couldn't speak English. The staff on the boat were handsome! It was a mistake that I didn't pay much attention to the tips and photos and left my wallet at the hotel.

とても楽しかったです！やって良かった！同じ時間の参加者は全員外人さんでしたが、みんなフレンドリーで楽しかった。英語話せなくても、何の問題もなかったです。船のスタッフさんがイケメンでした！チップや写真のことをよく見ておらず、ホテルに財布を置いてきてしまったのが失敗でした。

The meeting time was 7 PM. I got lost and was about 10 minutes late, which made me anxious. However, check-in actually started around 7:20 PM, so I was able to participate without any issues. The Hilton fireworks began right after departure and ended quickly, so afterward, we just enjoyed the distant night views and drinks. There was a wide variety of beverages, so I think everyone can enjoy it. There are also restrooms, which is reassuring. When I participated, there was one other group of Japanese people. There were also families with children. All the explanations were in English, but I think it should be fine.

集合時間は19時。迷ってしまい10分ほど遅れたので焦りました。が、実際のところチェックインは19時20分くらいからスタート。問題なく参加できました。ヒルトンの花火は出航後すぐに始まって、すぐに終わってしまうので、その後はひたすら遠くの夜景とお酒を楽しむ感じ。飲み物の種類は豊富だったので、どなたでも楽しめると思います。トイレもあるので安心です。私が参加した時は日本人があともうひと組いたかな。お子さん連れの方もいました。説明等、全て英語のみでしたが大丈夫だと思います。

I participated with another person in a 90-meter experience, but the staff was not at all kind to Japanese speakers and only spoke English. When we got on the boat, despite the strong waves, they sped off, and I ended up getting seasick and couldn't experience parasailing. There were about three groups, so waiting on the boat the whole time was really tough. The instructor didn't seem to care and was singing along to the music, which was frustrating.

In the end, we were the only ones who didn't receive the initial explanation, so my husband had to experience it alone, and they didn't even take any photos for us. They just said "sorry!" casually. It was truly the worst day.

90メートルのに2人で参加しましたが、日本人に全然優しくなくひたすら英語でした。船に乗ると波が強いのにも関わらず飛ばすので、船酔いをしてしまいパラセーリング体験できませんでした。3組ほどいたので、それまでずっと船の上で待っているのがとてもきつかったです。インストラクターの人も心配する事なく、流れている音楽に合わせて歌っていて腹が立ちました。
しまいには、私達だけ最初の説明をされていなかったので主人は1人で体験したのに、写真も撮っててもらえなかったです。sorry！と簡単に済まされました。ほんとに最悪な日
でした。

What a great evening activity! Staff was great! Definitely recommend

We had a group lesson, and there were two instructors for our group of four friends! They taught us very carefully, and by the second wave, everyone was able to ride. It was a very fun and wonderful tour, so I think even beginners can really enjoy it. Above all, the instructors were very friendly and fun. We also received over 100 photos for free, which was great to keep as memories of Hawaii.

グループレッスンを行いましたが、友達4人に対して2人のインストラクターが付いてくれました！
とても丁寧に教えていただき、2回目の波から全員がのることができました。
とても楽しく素晴らしいツアーなので、初心者の方でもとても楽しめると思います。何より、インストラクターの方がとてもフレンドリーで楽しいです。写真のデータも100枚以上無料でもらえて、ハワイの思い出としても残せてよかったです。

The surroundings are filled with people from various countries, making it a great place for international交流, and the scenery is amazing, so I want to do it again the next time I go to Hawaii!

周りは色々な国の方たちで、国際交流も楽しめるし、景色も最高なので次ハワイ行くときもまたやりたいです！

I boarded the yacht with five colleagues from work. We set off on a catamaran that can accommodate about 30 to 40 people. Among the nearly full passengers, we were the only Japanese. The crew consisted of a service-oriented captain and a seemingly carefree young man.

After departing, we headed towards Diamond Head with Waikiki Beach on our left under the strong sunlight. Up to that point, it felt like a normal boat ride, but everything changed after passing Diamond Head. The strong winds created larger swells, and the yacht was bouncing around like a leaf. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), we were positioned at the bow and could barely hold on to the railing to avoid being thrown off.

It was written that we might get splashed with ocean spray, but it turned into an ocean shower, and we were completely soaked. However, everyone on board was smiling. The carefree young man even took off his T-shirt and, amidst the rough waves, raised the sails and steered the yacht, making everyone exclaim, "So cool!"

On the way back, we enjoyed a slightly romantic atmosphere while watching the sunset. This was the most enjoyable activity of our trip to Hawaii.

勤務先の仲間と5人で乗船しました。
30～40名程度が乗船できる双胴型ヨットに乗り込み出発。
ほぼ満員の乗船者のうち、日本人は我々のみでした。
クルーは、サービス精神旺盛なキャプテンとチャラそうな若者一名。
出航後、しばらくは強い日差しの中ワイキキビーチを左手に、ダイアモンドヘッド方向へ進みます。
そこまでは普通のボート感覚でしたが、ダイアモンドヘッドを過ぎてからは状況が一変。
折からの強めの風を受けてうねりが大きくなり、ヨットは木の葉状態。
運悪く（良く？）舳先に陣取っていた我々は、振り落とされないように手摺にしがみついているのがやっとでした。
オーシャンスプレーを浴びるかもしれないと書いてありましたが、オーシャンシャワー状態でずぶ濡れ。でも、乗船していた全員が笑顔で溢れていました。
チャラそうな若者も、Ｔシャツを脱ぎ、荒波の中でセールを張り、操る姿を見て、全員が「カッコいい！」
帰りは、夕陽を見ながら少しロマンティックな雰囲気も。
今回のハワイで一番楽しいアクティビティでした。

There were few Japanese participants, and the guide spoke in English, but this is truly something you shouldn't miss! After seeing the underwater scenery, entering the sea brings various deep emotions. You can enjoy watching fish, sea turtles, and sunken ships. We participated in a few other tours, but we all agreed that this was the best one in our group!

日本人の参加者は少なく英語でガイドでしたが、これはほんとに見て損はないです！海中を見たあとに海に入ると色々と感慨深い
魚や海ガメ、沈んだ船など鑑賞できます
他にもいくつかツアーを参加しましたがこれが私たちのグループでは１番よかったねと感想を言い合いました♪

I applied because I thought if I missed this opportunity, I would never get another chance. It's an experience unique to Hawaii.

The location is at the left end of Waikiki (Queens Beach), with a simple lesson on the shore that lasts about five minutes. You paddle out to just before the reef, about 100 meters away. When the waves come, they push you from behind, so as long as you time it right and stand in the middle of the board, it's easy to get up.

In the semi-private lesson, you have one instructor for every two people, so I definitely recommend it for beginners. You also receive a T-shirt or a hat as a gift on your way back.

Paddling became tough for me due to my frozen shoulder, but since they push you, I was able to enjoy it enough.

There are Japanese staff at the shop, so there's no need to worry about language. As mentioned in other reviews, the shuttle service can be a bit loose with timing. The shop is about an 8-minute walk from Moana Surf, so walking there is less frustrating. On the way back, I walked to the supermarket in my swimsuit to do some shopping.

If your hotel is nearby, you won't need to bring your smartphone, towel, or a change of clothes. Just bring about $20 and a few dollars for tips, just in case.

Unfortunately, one-third of the DVD file of the photos I received was broken and wouldn't open.

この機会を逃せばチャンスは二度とないと思い申し込みました。
日本では恥ずかしくて無理でしょう。
ハワイならではの体験です。

場所はワイキキの左端（Queens Beach ）で、
岸辺で５分程の見よう物まねの簡単レッスン。
直ぐに100m先のリーフ手前までパドリング。
波が来たら後から押してくれますので、
タイミングと板の真ん中にさえ乗れば簡単に立てます。

セミプライベートは2人にひとりのインストラクターが付きますので、
初心者は是非セミプライベートをお勧めします。
帰りにTシャツか帽子のプレゼント付きです。

やはり50肩でパドリングが厳しくなりましたが、
押してくれるので充分楽しめました。

店には日本人の方が居ますので言葉の不安は無いです。
送迎は他の書き込みでもありますように、時間はルーズです。
お店がモアナサーフから歩いて8分位ですので、
歩いて行った方がイライラしなくて済みます。
帰りも水着のまま、歩いてスーパーで買物して帰りました。

ホテルが近くなら、スマホもタオルも着替えも入りません。
念のために２０ドルとチップの数ドルだけ持って行って下さい。

残念だったのはもらった写真のDVDファイルの1/3が、
壊れて開きませんでした。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and since I wanted to do some activities by the sea, I joined with four friends. We were picked up on time in the hotel lobby, and during the drive, our cheerful driver kept us entertained with jokes. Upon arriving at the beach, we quickly boarded the boat. The boat was quite rocky. It seemed that the boat ride was more intense than parasailing, giving a floating sensation similar to the drop of a roller coaster. I was fine with the rocking; in fact, I found it enjoyable, but those who are prone to seasickness might want to take medication beforehand or consider opting out.

For parasailing, we flew in pairs. As others had shared, there was no floating sensation while flying, but it felt wonderful to look around at the sea and the cityscape. If I get the chance, I would like to try a higher flight next time. You can request to have photos taken before you fly. After landing, you can purchase a group of photos (1 SD card) for $30 (an additional $5 fee for card payments). When I got home and looked at the photos, there were about 90 pictures, all beautiful, so I definitely recommend buying them!

初めてのハワイ、せっかくなので海でアクティビティをしたいということで、友達4人と参加しました。時間通りにホテルのロビーでピックアップ、車での移動中は愉快なドライバーさんがギャグで盛り上げてくれました。海辺に到着するとすぐ船に乗り移動しました。船はかなり揺れます。パラセイリングよりも船の方が激しいアトラクションのようで、ジェットコースターの落下時のようなふわふわ感がしました。私は揺れは大丈夫、むしろ楽しい感じでしたが、船酔する方は事前に薬を飲んでおくか、辞退された方がいいかもしれません。 パラセイリングは2人ずつ飛びました。ほかの方の体験談通り、飛んでる時はふわふわ感はなく、海と街並みを見回せてとても気持ちが良かったです。機会があったら今度はもっと高い方を挑戦してみたいです。写真は飛ぶ前に頼めば撮って貰えます。降りてから1グループ(1SDカード)で＄30(カード払いだと手数料で＋＄5)で買えます。帰って写真を見てみたら90枚ほど写真が入っていて、素敵な写真ばかりでしたので、買うことを是非お勧めします！

The weather was nice, and I was able to see a sunset that was much more beautiful than from the beach! The original cocktails were delicious too. ☺︎ We went around the back of Diamond Head and watched the sunset while heading back, but the waves were quite strong on the way to Diamond Head, so I didn't have the chance to enjoy my drink or take photos. It might be the season, but it got colder than I expected, so I recommend bringing a light jacket. As mentioned in the reviews, there were few Japanese participants, but that allowed me to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere! I would love to join again someday. ☺︎

天気が良く、ビーチから見るより何倍も素敵なサンセットを見ることができました！オリジナルカクテルも美味しかったです☺︎
ダイアモンドヘッドの裏の方へ回り、引き返しながらサンセットを見る感じだったのですが、ダイアモンドヘッド方面へ向かう途中波が激しく、ドリンクをゆっくり飲んだり写真を撮る余裕はありませんでした。また時期的になのかも知れないですが、思っていた以上に冷えた為羽織ものを持って行かれることを推奨します。
口コミにもあった通り日本人の参加者は少ないですが、その分ハワイの雰囲気を存分に味わうことができました！いつかまた参加させて頂きます☺︎

Took my son for his 17th birthday to Oahu & took to the sky with this awesome bird's eye experience. I was a bit anxious of how it would feel flying so high since I usually have motion sickness but I did not have any issues doing this activity. Had a great time ... It was simply AWESOME!

Rock-a-hula was awesome! The waitress were very helpful and friendly. During the dinner they entertained us with singing and dancing. The food was great and there were a good selection to choose from. Megan, the waitress was very easy to talk to and did a great job during her performance. All the performers did a great job impersonating each artist. The guy who was doing the fire performance did a awesome job, I thought that was very impressive and entertaining. After all the performance we were able to actually meet and take pictures with the them. My wife and I had a great time during the Rock-a-hula event, I would definitely recommend it to my family and friends as something to experience.

We enjoyed our meal on the terrace, and the roast beef and whole roasted pig were delicious. During the meal, we were entertained with hula dancing and ukulele music. After the meal, we entered the venue, and even though they were impersonators, the quality was so high that it felt like we were watching the real thing. The performers were very engaging, coming down to the floor to interact with the guests, and we got to enjoy songs like Elvis, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, and "Over the Rainbow," while also learning about the history of Hawaii. They provided entertainment from the meal to the show without missing a beat. This is a must-do. I will definitely book this again for my next trip to Hawaii!

食事はテラスで頂き、ローストビーフや豚の丸焼きなど、おいしかったです。食事中はフラダンスやウクレレで食事中も楽しませて頂きました。食事後に会場内に入り、そっくりさんと言えども、その質の高さは、本物をみているような錯覚すら覚えました。サービス精神旺盛でフロアに降りてきて、客と触れ合い、エルビス、マイケルジャクソン、Katy Perry 、Over the rainbowなどを聞きながらのハワイの歴史にも触れさせて頂きました。食事時からショーまで余すことなく楽しませてくれます。これは、一押しです。次のハワイの時も申し込みます！

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our show and dinner. Meagan was our favorite waitress she was there at dinner and she participated in the show. She was friendly and pretty. They included artist that included Katy Perry, Micheal Jackson, and Elvis. The artist did good impersonations. The dinner included a choice of pork, chicken, vegetables, starches and a wide variety and foods. The dessert choices included brownies and ice cream. I felt full for days on end. They gave us drink choices. My favorite was Micheal Jackson he was able to sing really well and he looked like he could actually be the Old Micheal.

It was absolutely amazing.
It was a great way to wrap up our graduation trip with friends on the last day.
Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy that day, but the pleasant atmosphere and the fun of the staff made me forget about that.
I definitely want to use this place again!

とにかく最高でした。
友達との卒業旅行最終日に、良い締めくくりになりました。
あいにくその日は曇り気味でしたが、そんなことは気にならないくらいの気持ちよさと、スタッフさんの楽しさでした。
是非また利用したいです！

I was worried because the driver could hardly speak Japanese, but he was very friendly and interesting to talk to. The parasailing itself was really fun! I also got some great photos, and the SD card was $30! I made the best memories!

運転手さんが日本語がほとんどしゃべれないということで不安だったのですが、
きさくに話してくださってとても面白く、
パラセーリング自体も本当に楽しかったです！！
写真もとってもらえて、SD カードは30ドルでした！
最高の思い出ができました！

It was my first time parasailing. The flow of suddenly putting on a life jacket and being lifted up is very American and nice, but the first person definitely needs some courage. It might be a little scary... Everyone else seemed to be enjoying the parasailing (^｡^)(I was a bit scared and got motion sickness from the swaying in the air).

初めてのパラセイリングでした。いきなりライフジャケットをきて吊るされてgo！の流れがアメリカらしく良いのですが、第1号者の方は勇気が必要です。ちょっと怖いかも。。みんな気持ちよさそうにパラセイリングしていました(^｡^)(私は少し怖かったです。そして、空の揺れに酔いました)

The rock a hula was an amazing show. Everyone in the cast was nice and very friendly. Their performance was outstanding. They were good singers and impersonators of the artists. The food was okay, but the service and entertainment was outstanding. This show is good entertainment for all ages. The time and set up was great. I would strongly recommend this show to anyone visiting the waikiki area.

I experienced this with my 11-year-old daughter! The staff who picked us up were handsome (laughs).

In our group, there were two Japanese families and three foreign families, and everyone was in high spirits, enjoying the boat ride together. The parasailing itself was 110 meters high, but it felt very high, and we were extremely satisfied! My daughter, who was nervous until the splash in the water, was so happy and said she wanted to do it more.

Before the challenge, they asked if we wanted to take optional photos, and since we decided not to, we didn't have any taken. However, they listened to our opinions well, so I felt good about that. My daughter is saying she definitely wants to do it again! I'm also happy because I got to see her beautiful smile, making it a wonderful memory!

11歳の娘と体験しました！
迎えのお兄さんたちがイケメンで（笑）

私たちの体験した回は日本人2組、外国人3組でしたが、みんなノリがよく、ボートみんなでキャーキャーして乗った感じです。
パラセーリング自体も、110メートルでしたがとても高く感じて大満足！
お約束の水バシャーンもやってもらってチャレンジするまでドキドキだった娘はもっとやりたかったー、とものすごく喜んでいました。
チャレンジ前にオプションの写真を撮るか聞かれるので我が家は撮らなくていいと伝えたので撮ってもらっていませんが、意見をしっかりと聞いてくれるのでそこも悪い感じはせず良かったと思います。
娘はまた絶対やりたい！と言ってます♪
私も娘の最高の笑顔が観れたので嬉しい思い出になりました！

our 2nd time..would definitely go again
but preferred the Elvis we seen 3yrs ago

We had a fantastic time. The crew were outstanding, very friendly and made the trip a lot of fun. They were approachable and took time to answer any questions we had.
Pretty close to being the highlight of our trip.
Would definitely do it again.

I was ready to give up on the fire show due to the surprisingly heavy rain, but the MC said, "We can't really do this, but we still want to," and started the show, which made me happy.

Since our seats were indoors and arranged in a way that wasn't around the central stage but rather in a front-to-back order, choosing the diamond seats was the right decision. In my case, I had heard about the bad weather and how easy it is to get lost, so I arrived an hour early and got a good seat. However, even with diamond seats, it's first-come, first-served, so if you want a better seat, it's advisable to arrive early.

The show itself is conducted entirely in English, so it might be better for those who understand a bit of English or can enjoy the atmosphere. My companion wasn't very good at English, but they were really moved by the show!

ビックリするぐらいの雷雨でファイアショーは諦めていたのですがMCの方が「本当はできないけどやっぱりみたいよね」とショーを始めて下さったので私的にはハッピーでした。
席も屋内だったので、中心の舞台を囲むタイプではなく、前から順だったのでダイヤモンドにして正解でした。ただ私の場合、悪天候の事や迷いやすいという話を聞いていたので1時間前から行っていたのでいい席でしたが、いくらダイヤモンドでも早い者順なので、少しでも良い席が良いのなら早めに行くと良いかと…
ショー自体は、終始英語でのMCや案内になるので英語が多少わかるか、雰囲気を楽しめる方の方が良いかも知れないです。
実際に私の連れも英語は苦手でしたが、ショーは凄く感動してくれていたので！

The drinks, sunset, and atmosphere were all amazing! We gathered at the beach adjacent to the hotel at 5 PM, and although we had to wait for about 30 minutes, the meeting spot was easy to find, and we could play on the beach during the wait, so it wasn't a problem at all. Once we got on the boat, even though I'm not very good at English, the staff crew and the other international guests were very friendly, and I felt a sense of unity! When I mentioned I was Japanese, the staff handed me explanations and the drink menu written in Japanese, which I appreciated. I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii!

お酒もサンセットも雰囲気も最高でした！
夕方１７時にホテルに隣接したビーチに集合し、約３０分ほど待機時間がありましたが、集合場所もわかりやすかったし、待ち時間はビーチで遊んでも大丈夫なので、特に問題ありませんでした。
船に乗ってからは私はあまり英語が得意ではないのですが、スタッフクルーや同乗した異国の方がとてもフレンドリーで、一体感を味わえました！
日本人だと伝えると、スタッフの方が日本語で書かれた説明やお酒のメニューなどを渡してくれて、その気遣いも嬉しかったです。
またハワイに来た時も絶対に参加したいです！

On our last night in Hawaii, my mother and I participated for the first time.
We started with a buffet on the terrace, where the dancers welcomed us!
They made it very enjoyable and lively. The welcome Mai Tai and the food were delicious and satisfying. It was a windy day and a bit cold, though!

The show was full of Hawaiian vibes, featuring performances like Michael's and fire shows, so it was never boring! I didn't know many of the songs, but my mother had a great time.
The dancing was of a very high level and captivating. I'm glad we had such a wonderful night.

ハワイ最後の夜に、母と2人で初参加。
はじめにテラスで、ダンサーの方々にもてなして頂きながらビュッフェ！
とても楽しく盛り上げてくださいました。
ウェルカムマイタイ、ごはんともに美味しく満足でした。風が強い日で寒かったですが笑

ショーはハワイを感じながらも、マイケルや炎のパフォーマンスなど盛り沢山で退屈しません！私はあまり曲は分かりませんでしたが、母はとても楽しんでいました。
ダンスもとてもレベルが高く魅了されました。
素敵な夜を過ごせてよかったです。

I participate in this sailing every year when I come to Hawaii. The view from the sea is also amazing. My mother, who will turn 84 this year, looks forward to this sailing every year. You get a little wet when you get on the boat, but that feels nice.

毎年ハワイに来るたびにこのセーリングに参加しています。
海側から見る景色も最高です。
今年84歳になる母も毎年このセーリングを楽しみにしています。
船に乗る時に多少濡れますがそれがまた気持ち良いです。

This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated despite being inexperienced. Although I left early, I was anxious because I couldn't find the reception area. The food was more ordinary than I expected, but there was a lot of it. I wasn't feeling well, and since it was outdoors, it got cold halfway through, so a jacket is a must. The show was absolutely satisfying. Both the women and men were wonderful. When it was time to leave, the performers took photos with those who wanted them. It became a great memory.

はじめてのハワイ、不慣れな中の参加です。
早めに出たものの、受付の場所が見つからずやきもきしました。
食事は思ったよりも普通でしたが、ボリュームがあります。
体調が悪かったのもありますが、屋外ということもあり途中で寒くなってきたので羽織必須ですね。
ショーは言うことなしの大満足でした。
女性も男性も素敵の一言。帰る段になって、希望者には出演者が一緒に写真を撮ってくれました。良い思い出になりました。
