All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

My daughter really wanted to try surfing, so we signed up together for a challenge. I had done bodyboarding when I was younger, but this was my first time surfing. Thanks to the instructor's great teaching, I was able to ride the waves in no time. At 57 years old, I usually don't do any sports, but I didn't feel tired or sore, and I made some wonderful memories. Additionally, they burned the photos from the lesson onto a CD and even gave us T-shirts, so I'm really glad I participated. I hope to join again next year at a higher level.

娘がどうしてもサーフィンをしたいと言うので、２人で申し込みチャレンジしました。私は若いころボディボードをしていましたが、サーフィンは初めてでしたが、インストラクターの教え方が良かったおかげで、あっという間に、波に乗れました。57歳で普段何もスポーツをしてませんでしたが、疲れ、筋肉痛もなく、楽しい思い出ができました、。また、レッスン中の写真をＣＤＲに焼付して頂いたり、Ｔシャツまで頂き、本当に参加して良かった。来年はレベルアップした形で参加したいと思います。

It was my first time surfing, and I was very satisfied! From the pickup to the way of riding the waves, I received thorough support, which allowed me to ride with confidence! Even as a complete beginner, I was able to do it, and since they teach in Japanese, those who are not confident in their language skills need not worry!

The weather was cloudy, but it wasn't too cold, and they also lent me a rash guard and shoes, making it comfortable! However, I got seasick from the waves, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before going.

They also took photos, creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Thank you very much!

初めてのサーフィンでしたが大変満足でした！
送迎から、波の乗り方まで丁寧にサポートしてもらえて、安心して乗ることができました！
本当に初心者でも乗れましたし、日本語でも教えてくださるので語学力に自信がない方も心配はいらないと思います！

天候は曇り空でしたが、寒すぎることもなく、またラッシュガードやシューズも貸していただけるので快適でした！ただ、私は波に酔ってしまったので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んでいかれることをオススメします。

写真も撮って下さり、楽しいハワイの思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました！

Boat captain and first mate were fab. Joined by three senior women on our boat which was inspiring. The day was cloudy and it was a lovely experience anyway - did not stop us from having an incredible view of Diamondhead. Mahalo!

There was absolutely no Japanese guide, and I could only understand a little of what was being said, but that doesn't really matter. Even without words, it's okay. When everyone sang the birthday song for the cute girl, it was the best.

日本語ガイドなんて一切なく、なーにいってるのか、ちょっとしかわからなかったけど、そんなこの、どうでもいい。言葉なくても、大丈夫。かわいい女の子のお誕生日のお歌を全員で歌ったときは、最高でした。

There were only two Japanese groups on this day, and the rest were international tourists. You can see the streets of Waikiki from angles that are usually not visible. It was cloudy, so I didn't feel it much, but when it's sunny, the sunlight can be quite strong, so it would be good to have a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Also, if you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take some medication beforehand. (There were about two people who got sick, haha.) If you go in the morning, you can return by early afternoon, making it easy to plan your schedule afterward and allowing for a relaxing time, which was really nice.

日本人は少なめでこの日も2組のみであとは海外の観光客でした。
普段見れないところからのワイキキの街並みを見ることができます。
曇りだったためあまり感じませんでしたが、晴れていると日差しがかなりくるので帽子やサングラス・日焼け止めがあったほうがよさそう。あと、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めは飲んでおいたほうがよさそうです。
(2名ほどリバースしてました笑)
午前中からならお昼過ぎにはもどってこれるのでその後の予定も組みやすくのんびりと過ごせとてもよかったです。

I participated in the 150m course with my wife. All the other participants were foreigners, and of course, the boat staff were also foreigners. Most of the explanations were in English, but there were no issues with putting on the harnesses. Once we got out to sea, we moved out to the open water and took turns going up into the air. Since the ocean was all blue, even at the highest point, I didn't feel much height, and there was hardly any sense of fear, but the view was amazing!

The operating company mentioned to bring a larger towel (like a bath towel), and I recommend borrowing a bath towel from the hotel if possible. We each brought our own face towels, but I wished we had brought a larger towel. Also, the boat staff took pictures, and you can buy them later on an SD card (it was $30 in cash and $35 by card), so if you want those, it's a good idea to bring that amount of money.

150mのコースを妻とふたりで参加しました。
他の参加者は全員外国の方で、船のスタッフさんももちろん外国人。
説明とかもほとんど英語でしたが、ハーネスを着けたりするのには別段支障はありませんでした。
海に出ると沖まで移動して順番に上空へ。
一面青い海だったので一番高いところでも高さはそこまで感じず、怖いという感覚はほとんどありませんでしたが景色は最高でした♪
運営会社から言われていた準備物に、大きめのタオル(バスタオル等)ってありましたが、できればホテルのバスタオルを借りて持って行くことをおすすめします。私たちは自分たちのフェイスタオルをそれぞれ持っていきましたが、大きなタオルを持っていけば良かったと思いました…
あと、船のスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれて後でSDカードに入れたものを買うことができるので(キャッシュで30ドル、カードだと35ドルでした)、欲しい方はその分のお金は持っていった方がいいです。

I used it for 150 meters. The scenery was so beautiful that words can't express it—blue ocean, horizon, Waikiki Beach, and more. Also, flying in the sky felt really good. I want to do it again. You need a swimsuit because you get a little wet when landing.

150メートルで利用しました。
言葉ではいい表せないぐらい、きれいな景色でした。青い海、地平線、ワイキキビーチなど
また、空を飛ぶのがとても気持ちよかったです。またやりたいです。
着水のときに少し濡れるので、水着がいります。

I was worried about the guide not being able to speak Japanese, but the lively atmosphere made it enjoyable even without a common language.

After being driven to the location, we were quickly put on the boat, and after a brief explanation, we took turns flying for about 10 minutes each. Before I could even feel nervous, we were off (laughs).

At the end, there’s a surprise where your feet lightly touch the sea, but they make sure to lower you safely onto the boat.

I asked for the 150m option, and instead of fear, I was filled with exhilaration.

Unlike other tours, there was no awkward waiting around, and we could quickly do what we wanted and return, making it a great value without wasting time.

For $30, they take photos and provide the data, and with such a playful guide, it’s definitely worth it to ask for them. Compared to some parks where a single photo costs around 1000 yen, you get several shots here, making it far more cost-effective.

Overall, it was amazing, and I absolutely recommend it!

何回も訪れているハワイですが、バックステージツアーまで付いていると言うのでとても楽しみにしての参加でした。
以前ショーだけ拝見させて頂いていたので雰囲気は解っていたのですが、楽屋裏が解っていると、又楽しさ倍増でした。
お出迎えの時からVIP待遇で、フラダンス&ウエルカムドリンク&おつまみ&何より素敵な控え室です。
当日は私達夫婦の他に5人のアメリカの方々でした。
カッコイイマネージャーが色々な説明をしながらバックステージを直接案内してくださり、その間スタッフの方々もフレンドリーにご挨拶、ショーで使われる衣装なども直接身に付けて写真を撮ってくださるなど、普段経験出来ない事にテンションが上がりました。
お食事もロブスターやステーキなどコースで美味しく頂き、充分な量で満足！
勿論、最前列での鑑賞でしたので出演者の表情まで楽しむ事ができました。
夢の様な時間が流れ、記念写真のプレゼントまで。
ちなみに、お隣のテーブルの方は25ドルの料金で記念写真をお買いになっていましたよ。
ハワイの特別な夜を過ごしてみようと思われる方には、少し奮発しても是非お勧めのコースです。
帰国してからの思い出の時間になると思います。

The instructor was really fun, kind, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while having a good time. There were a lot of corals on the ground, and I got hurt when I fell, but the experience was so enjoyable that I forgot about it. Even someone like me, who isn't good at sports, was able to stand up a little, and my friends were getting up multiple times to do the aloha pose. I made the best memories!

インストラクターの方がすごく楽しくて優しくてわいわいしながらすることができました。地面にサンゴがいっぱいで落下時に怪我をしてしまいましたが、それを忘れるくらい楽しく体験できました。運動下手な私も少し立つことができ、周りの友達も何度も立ってアロハポーズをしたりしていました。
最高の思い出ができました！

We participated as a family of three (with a 6-year-old son). There are many reviews mentioning a high percentage of Westerners, but due to the timing, there were also a lot of Asians participating. The Mai Tais they served were very delicious. When our cups were empty, they would ask if we wanted a refill, and the staff's response was great. Each person also received a bag of snacks. We were blessed with good weather, and the sunset was beautiful. If we go to Hawaii again, I would like to participate again.

家族3人（息子6歳）で参加しました。欧米人率が高いという口コミが多いですが、時期もあってアジア人もたくさん参加していました。配られるマイタイがとても美味しかったです。コップが空になっているとお代わりを聞いてくれたり、スタッフの方の対応もいいです。スナックも一人一袋もらえます。天気に恵まれサンセットも綺麗でした。またハワイに行くことがあれば参加したいです。

The sunset was really beautiful.

However, when getting on and off, your clothes get wet! You have to be prepared to get into the water up to your knees, or it can be quite a hassle... My 5-year-old son fell into the sea when getting off and got completely soaked! He was rescued by a staff member! There are no restrooms, so be careful not to drink too much! They make sure to leave only after sunset, so you can definitely enjoy the sunset.

とっても夕日はきれいでした

ただ、乗り降りするとき、服がぬれる！
膝ぐらいまでは海に入るのを覚悟でいかないと大変…
5歳の息子は降りる時、海にはまり、びしょびしょ！お兄さんに救助されてました！
トイレはないので飲み過ぎ注意！
ちゃんと、日の入後しか帰らないのでバッチリサンセットは見れます

It was a family trip to Hawaii!
Although it wasn't my first time paragliding, as expected in Honolulu, when you go high up while paragliding, you can see the beautiful town of Honolulu and Diamond Head. The weather was cloudy, but it was amazing!!

家族でのハワイ旅行でした！
パラセイリング自体は初めてではなかったのですが。
さすがホノルル、パラセイリングで高くあがると綺麗なホノルルの町やダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せて、天気は曇っていましたが最高でした！！

I had a reservation for 16:00, but there was heavy rain and strong winds during the day. When I inquired around 13:00, I was told that the event was still scheduled to proceed as planned, so I waited in my swimsuit in the cold at the pickup time.

After waiting, I was called to the lobby, and sure enough, I received a cancellation notice from the operating company.

I think it was too late to notify us of the cancellation after the pickup time had passed. Even though the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, I would expect a decision to be made at least by the morning of the day. Thanks to this, I wasted my time.

16:00～でこちらを予約していましたが、お昼の時点で大雨・強風。
13:00ごろ問い合わせたときは「予定通り催行予定」とのことだったので、寒い中ピックアップ時間に水着の状態で待っていました。
待っていたらロビーの方から電話があるとのことで呼ばれ、出てみたら案の定催行会社から中止の連絡でした。

ピックアップ時間が過ぎてから中止の連絡は遅すぎると思います。
いくらハワイの天気が変わりやすいからといっても、せめて当日の朝には判断してほしいです。おかげで時間を無駄にしました。

Easy and no hassle transport from Waikiki to Diamond Head. On time pick up, drops off at the visitors centre so you don’t have to walk from the bus stop. Good banter and information given by driver. Made the experience more enjoyable having a quick and convenient way to get to and from the hike location.

The crew members that took us out we not only informative, but they made the trip fun! They took their time to make sure we were having a nice time....

Since I participated during the rainy season, it couldn't be helped, but it was cold and difficult due to the rain. A raincoat or parka is absolutely necessary.

However, the captain and staff were very considerate, and the Mai Tai we had on board was delicious. They also generously served champagne. It was tasty.

On the way back, we were lucky to see the sunset from the western horizon. It was moving. I definitely want to participate again when the weather is nice.

雨季の時期に参加をしたので仕方がないですが雨で寒く大変でした。
カッパやパーカーは絶対に必要です。

ただ、船長は始めスタッフに皆さんの気遣いや船上で飲むマイタイは旨いです。シャンパンも大判振る舞いで出してくれました。
美味しかったですよ。
帰りがけに西の水平線からサンセットがラッキーに見えました。
感動しました。
また天気の良い時に是非参加したいですね。

We participated in a dinner and show course for six people in a buffet style. During dinner, beautiful ladies and sexy handsome dancers provided great service and created a very enjoyable dining experience. The whole roasted pig had crispy skin and the meat was very delicious. We were completely full.

After that, we had premier seats, second row from the front and in the center. I was envious of those sitting on the side of the stage and in front who received scarves and leis from Elvis. I was surprised when he descended upside down from the ceiling. The balloons and soap bubbles created a fun atmosphere that united the stage and the audience.

The show was wonderful, with the dancers who took care of us during dinner performing various types of Hawaiian and rock dances with great precision. The singing of Elvis and Michael was also incredibly good, making it a dreamlike experience that passed in the blink of an eye. The fire show was amazing and spectacular. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I definitely want to go again.

ヴュッフェスタイルのディナーの後ショーを見るコースで6人で参加しました。ディナーで綺麗なお姉さんやセクシーなイケメンのダンサーの方々が場を盛り上げながらサービスしてくれて、とても楽しい食事ができました。豚の丸焼きは皮がパリパリで肉もとても美味しかったです。お腹いっぱいになりました。
その後のショーはプレミア席で前から2番目の中央の席でした。ステージサイドの席や前の席の人はエルビスからマフラーやレイが貰えて羨ましかったです。天上から逆さずりに降りて来たのにはビックリしました。バルーンやシャボン玉はステージと客席が一体となって楽しい演出でした。
ショーは素晴らしく、ディナーの時お世話してくれたダンサーの方たちがキレのあるいろんなタイプのハワイアンだったりロック調だったり、それは素晴らしいダンスとエルビスやマイケルたちの歌も凄く上手で、あっというまの夢のような時間でした。ファイヤーショーも凄くて素晴らしかったてす。ハワイへ又来る事が出来たら、是非又行きたいと思います。

Guides were GREAT, we saw MULTIPLE turtles (one even swam right up by us) and we also saw dolphins. We got to do a little bit of sailing at the end while drying off, having a beverage and eating the provided snacks. It was exactly what we wanted to do and I loved that it did not take up the entire day so we still had plenty of time to get get lunch and spend the rest of the day on the beach :)

I attempted the 120m jump. The day I had reserved was canceled due to bad weather, but they were able to reschedule for a time that worked for us the next day! The pickup was also on time.
The boat does sway quite a bit. It feels nice once you're flying, but those who are sensitive to swinging like on a swing set might feel a bit nauseous.
When I actually flew, it felt like a very long time, and I was able to enjoy the scenery thoroughly.

120mに挑戦しました。予約していた日が悪天候だったため、当日にキャンセルになってしまったのですが、翌日の私たちの都合にあった時間に変更していただけました！ピックアップも時間通りでした。
船は結構揺れます。飛んでからも気持ちいいですが、ブランコのような揺れが苦手な方は少し酔うかもしれません。
実際飛んでみるととても長い時間のように感じて、十分景色を楽しむこともできました。

Great crew, lots of drinks, awesome photo opportunities of the sunset and Waikiki. We even saw a whale.

You can see a different view of the Waikiki hotels and Diamond Head from the sea. Enjoying a toast while watching the sunset can be an amazing experience, especially if the weather is nice. The staff varies each time, and their service can depend on their personality, so it can be hit or miss. It's a bit disappointing that the background music isn't Hawaiian, but rather upbeat rock that the staff prefers.

海からワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドのいつもとは違った風景が見られる
サンセットを見ながら乾杯が出来、お天気に恵まれると最高の体験になる
スタッフは毎回違い、対応ぶりはその人柄に左右されるので当たり外れがある
ＢＧＭがハワイアンでなく、スタッフの好みのノリノリロックだったりするのが残念

This was my first time participating. From a distance, the 110m height looked quite intimidating, but once I actually tried it, I felt a rush of excitement and had a lot of fun. Since we were in a small boat and the waves were a bit high, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before joining. The crew members were also a fun bunch, and they made the activity enjoyable with their lively spirit. They provide explanations in Japanese, so I think you can relax and enjoy yourself. It was a bit cloudy and chilly, so I think having a jacket or a bath towel would be helpful. They also accommodate requests like wanting to stay completely dry or wanting to get your legs wet. I would love to participate again!

初めての参加でした。
110mで遠くから見るとかなり高いのでドキドキしましたが、実際にやってみるとかなり興奮し、楽しかったです。
小さなボートでやや波も高かったので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んで参加されることをお勧めします。
クルーのお兄さんたちも愉快な人たちで、ノリノリの中で楽しくアクティビティを行ってくれました。日本語で説明してくれるので安心して楽しめると思います。
曇りでやや寒かったですが、上着やバスタオルがあるといいと思います。全く濡れないようにしたい、脚まで浸かりたい、などの要望も聞いてくれます。また参加したいです！

There were about 40 people on the tour, including two groups of us (four people). The yacht hardly swayed, so I don't think there's any worry about seasickness. Cocktails were poured from a large bottle, and with the excitement, I ended up having three refills. We even spotted whales offshore, and the sunset was amazing. I also made friends with a family of four from Australia. The two hours flew by. I definitely want to participate again next time.

日本人は私たち含め2組（4人）計40人ぐらいのツアーでした。ヨットの揺れはほとんどなく、船酔いの心配はいらないと思います。大きなボトルからカクテルがそそがれ、盛り上がりとともに3杯もお替りしてしまいました。クジラも沖に見えサンセットも最高でした。オーストラリアの4人家族とも仲良くなりました。あっという間の2時間でした。次回もぜひ参加したい。

I participated thinking it would be a Valentine's gift. As others mentioned, there were many foreign participants (mostly from Europe and America), and there were fewer Asians, but I actually enjoyed the overseas atmosphere even more because of that.

All the explanations were in English, but I had no trouble at all. The captain and staff were very friendly, making jokes to entertain the guests and engaging in conversation, creating a very welcoming atmosphere!

On the day of the tour, it was unusually rainy in Hawaii, and with strong winds, we could hardly see the sunset, which is the highlight of the tour. The waves were a bit high, so some guests who were not good on boats felt unwell. (The staff's response at that time was quick and left a good impression.) I’m not very good on boats either, but I managed to be okay. In the end, just as the sun was setting, the clouds parted slightly, allowing us to see a beautiful sunset, which was very moving. It was a memorable moment.

You can take wonderful photos on the boat and enjoy the scenery, so I recommend this for those looking for a gift or a memorable experience like I was!

バレンタインのプレゼントに…と思って参加しました。他の方が言っていた通り、外国の方の参加率が多く（しかも欧米の方が多い）、アジア人は少なめではありますが、逆にその方が私は海外気分をより味わえて良かったです。
説明も全て英語でしたが、困ることはありませんでした。キャプテン、スタッフの方がとても気さくな方なので、お客さんをジョークで笑わせたり、一緒に話をしたりして、とてもフレンドリーな雰囲気でした！
当日はハワイ では珍しく一日中雨で、風も強かったため、ツアーの醍醐味であるサンセットがほとんど見られず、波も少し高かったので、船に弱い方が体調を崩されてました。（その時のスタッフの対応は迅速で好印象でした。）私もあまり船は得意ではないのですが、何とか大丈夫でした。最後、本当に陽が落ちる時、わずかに雲が切れてくれて、とても綺麗な夕日を見ることが出来、とても感動しました。思い出に残るワンシーンでした。
船上でステキな写真も撮れるし、景色も見られるし、私のようにプレゼントや何かの記念になるオプションを探している方にオススメです！

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.

I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

The guide was only in English, and there were no other Japanese people besides us. During the sailing, we were able to listen to the guide's fun stories and see sea turtles. My 3-year-old daughter got a little seasick due to the slight rocking of the boat, but the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was amazing.

英語ガイドのみ、周りのお客さんも私達以外日本人はいませんでした。
セーリング中はガイドさんの楽しいお話を聞けたり、ウミガメを観れたりしました。船の揺れが少々あったため、3歳の娘は少し船酔いしてしまいましたが、海から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした。

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

It was so much fun with many famous people like Michael and Katy! The food was also great and suited the Japanese palate!

マイケルやケイティなどたくさんの有名人が出てノリノリで楽しかったです！！
ご飯も日本人の口に合うもので、最高でした！！

We participated as a couple. There were about five groups at the same time, but only one other group was Japanese besides us. The guide explained everything in Japanese.

I have a fear of heights, but after seeing the experiences here, I booked the 150m jump. Watching others jump made me regret not choosing a lower height... However, since the view was just the sea as far as the eye could see, I surprisingly didn't feel the height and wasn't scared.

What was more challenging was the seasickness. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but it was still tough, so I think it's better to avoid scheduling meals before the activity or plans after the flight.

The flight lasted just over five minutes, but we enjoyed it. The weather was a bit bad, so I want to try again when the weather is nice!

夫婦で参加しました。
同じ時間帯には5組ほどでしたが日本人は私たちともう一組だけ。ガイドのお兄さんは日本語で説明してくれました。
高所恐怖症なのですがこちらの体験談を見て150mで予約。他の人が飛んでいるのを見て「やっぱりもっと低いのにすればよかった…」と後悔しましたが、見渡す限り海なので意外と高さは感じず怖さはなかったです。
それよりも船酔いで大変でした。私たち夫婦は事前に酔い止めを飲んでいましたがそれでも辛かったので、アクティビティ前の食事やフライト後に予定を入れるのは控えた方がいいと思います。
飛行時間は5分少しですが楽しめました。少し天気が悪かったのでまた天気が良い時にリベンジしたいです！
