All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

This is a great activity for all ages! The crew are very friendly and accommodating and the excursion is very well organized. We saw several large turtles and one juvenile turtle! The best thing about this excursion is not only do you have the chance to snorkel with lots of turtles, but the crew takes you out for a sail where you can enjoy cocktails onboard. Really great way to end the perfect tour!

Recommendation: if you are strong swimmer, you should consider renting fins to dive down and get a closer look at the turtles!

Beautiful Catamaran the Holokai takes you just out from Waikiki beach out into Turtle Canyon, so many turtles as soon as we got in the water I was absolutely amazed! Excellent, helpful, fun staff. Drinks & snacks on board to purchase very reasonable in price. Excellent Snorkel equipment provided. Will do it all again next time I’m in Waikiki for sure!!!

This was our second trip aboard Atlantis and we enjoyed it as much as the first time. It is always nice to be able to do something you can't experience at home and living a thousand miles from any ocean submarines are fairly scarce where we live. I always enjoy seeing critters like sharks and sea turtles but any colorful sea life is enjpoyable. On the personal side we were treated with care and respect and at no time did we feel unsafe. Overall a great adventure. Thankyou very much.

I challenged myself to 150 meters. At first, I was nervous and a little scared, but I was relieved to find that it was surprisingly slow going. The view is amazing! It feels great. Since I did it near Ala Moana, I could see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When we returned to the boat, the kids were thrilled as they splashed in the seawater and then went back up into the air. The instructor was handsome and funny, and the driver was entertaining as well!

150mに挑戦しました。最初はドキドキして少し怖かったのですが、意外とゆっくり登っていくので安心しました。景色が最高です！気持ちいいです。アラモアナ付近でやったので、ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドが見えました。ボートに戻るときに海水にボッチャンしてから、また上空に登っていったりするので子供たちは大喜びしていました。
インストラクターがイケメンで面白くて、ドライバーも面白くて楽しかったです！

On December 26th, there was an unusually heavy rain in Hawaii. The parasailing scheduled for the next day was unfortunately canceled because the boat couldn't operate due to the rain. What bad luck... I couldn't believe it (>o<). The only option to cancel was just the day before my return, and after some hesitation, I decided to go for it the day before leaving.

My friend and I shouted "What a great decision!" as we soared into the sky. We ascended to a height of 150 meters, where we could see the city of Waikiki from the ocean, with the beautiful blue sky and the evening sun. It felt like we were birds. The aerial stroll lasted about five minutes, but it was incredibly refreshing, and I felt amazing! When we landed, the customary splash of our feet was delightful. I want to try it again!

ハワイではあまり経験したことがないくらいの大雨の12/26。翌日のパラセーリングがなんと船が雨のために動かなくなり、中止に。なんとアンラッキー…。こんなことがあるのか(>o<)と。キャンセルにするか、できるのはギリギリ帰国の前日しかなく、迷った末、帰国の前日にやることにしました。
友人と二人で、正解！と空で叫びました。150メートルの高さまで上り、ワイキキの街が海から一望でき、青い空と夕刻の太陽がとてもステキでした。まるで鳥になった気分。約五分くらいの上空散歩でしたが、とても爽快で、気分は最高！降りるときには恒例の足ぽちゃも、気持ちよかったです。また、トライしたいです。

Great Show!!! Had a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the show. Food was good and we had a great time. Dancers and performance was outstanding.

I was worried about whether I would enjoy it since everything was in English, but the captain and the other foreign passengers were very kind to my husband and me, and we had a great time! My husband caught two fish, and one was released. We had a total of three catches! I want to try again when we come back to Hawaii♪ Oh, it's recommended to take motion sickness medication in case the waves are rough!

オール英語でしたので楽しめるか不安でしたがキャプテンや同乗した外国の方々も私達夫婦に優しく接してくださり大変楽しい時間を過ごせました！旦那様は二匹釣りあげ一匹はリリース。計三匹の釣果でした！またハワイへ来るときはリベンジしたいです♪あ、波が荒い可能性があるので酔い止め薬は飲んでおいた方がおすすめです！

Welcomed by hula dancers at the VIP entrance, I felt special and excited from the very beginning. I was guided to the lounge, where I received a commemorative photo and a welcome drink. I was also shown backstage, where I had the fun experience of standing on stage and wearing costumes for memorable photos. Then it was time for dinner. I had a seat right in front of the stage, and luxurious dishes were served one after another. After enjoying the delicious desserts, the show finally began. The performances featured Elvis, Michael, Katy Perry, and many others, providing entertainment for various generations, along with traditional hula shows and fire dances. The quality was high and truly wonderful. Even after the show, Michael and the others took photos and signed autographs, making it a fun experience until the very end. The staff's service was also excellent, making for a pleasant and wonderful time.

VIPエントランスからフラでお出迎えされ、最初から特別感でワクワクです。ラウンジに案内され、記念写真とウェルカムドリンクなどを頂きました。バックステージも案内され、舞台に立てたり衣装を身につけ記念撮影できたり面白かったです。そしてお食事へ。ステージ目の前の席で、豪華な食事が次々と運ばれてきます。デザートまで美味しく頂くと、いよいよショーが始まります。エルビス・マイケル・ケイティペリーといろんな世代が楽しめるパフォーマンスと伝統的なフラショー、ファイヤーダンスまで充分に楽しめました。クオリティも高く素晴らしかったです。ショー後もマイケル達が写真撮影やサインをしてくれて最後まで楽しく過ごせました。スタッフの方達のサービスもとてもいいので気持ちよく素敵な時間となりました。

Once we headed out to sea and it was our turn, we jumped right in. It was a moment of becoming a bird in an instant. All I could hear in the sky was the sound of the wind; it truly felt like a different world. Even those who are not good with heights will be fine. I didn't feel any seasickness at all, probably thanks to the medication. I highly recommend it!

沖に出て順番が来たら直ぐに飛び出されました。あっという間の鳥になった時間。上空は風の音だけしか聞こえない、本当に別世界でした。高いところがダメな人でも大丈夫。船酔いも薬の効き目か全くありませんでした。是非オススメします！

I had a really great time!! The instructor during the experience was wonderful, and the driver for the pickup and drop-off was also very cheerful and kind, which made me feel at ease. We were the only Japanese people there, but it was helpful that they provided explanations in Japanese! I would like to use this service again (o^^o).

本当に楽しかったです！！体験中のインストラクターさんはもちろん、送迎の運転手さんもとても明るくいい人で安心できました。私たちしか日本人はいなかったのですが、日本語でも説明をしてくださって助かりました！また利用したいと思います(o^^o)

I requested this SUP lesson because I wanted to enjoy the ocean in Hawaii, even though I had no surfing experience. The instructor wasn't fluent, but he taught me carefully in Japanese, which allowed me to paddle smoothly once we got out on the water.

And to my surprise, we encountered a sea turtle while paddling! I was told that it's quite rare to see one at this time of year, so it was a valuable experience.

One downside was that the reception location was hard to find. This time, it was at Gray's Beach, but there was no sign with the word "veltra" anywhere, so I was confused about what to do. It would have been helpful to know in advance what kind of sign to look for at the reception.

サーフィン未経験でもハワイの海を楽しみたいという思いからこちらのSUP レッスンをお願いしました。
先生はペラペラではないけれど日本語で丁寧に教えて下さったので、海に出てからもスムーズにパドルを漕ぐことが出来ました。
そして、なんと漕いでいる途中でウミガメに遭遇‼︎この時期ではかなり珍しいんだそうで、貴重な経験が出来ました。

ひとつ残念だったのは、受付の場所が分かりづらかったこと。今回はGray's beach受付だったのですが、「veltra」の文字がどこにも無かったのでどうすればいいか迷いました。事前にどういう看板の受付なのか教えて頂けると良かったです。

I participated with four friends in late December. One of my friends said, "I'm scared, so I'll just watch." But despite that, we boarded the boat and were told by the staff to put on life jackets without any argument... "Put your feet in here and sit down..." There was no time to be afraid as we floated into the air. The boat below gradually became smaller, and I felt no fear at all; I felt foolish for hesitating. Although we all fall into the category of elderly people aged 65 and over according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, experiencing this for the first time at this age was so much fun that we all agreed... I'm enjoying this at my age during this year-end period! Long live the elderly!

　12月下旬に友達4人で参加しました。「怖いから私見てるわ」と言いです仲間も。と言いながらも船で沖合へ、係員から有無を言わさずライフジャケットを着てと・・・「ここに足を入れて座って・・・」恐れている暇はなく空中へふーわと。眼下のボートはだんだん小さくなって　怖さは全くなく躊躇した自分がバカみたい、皆　厚労省の人口分類では65歳以上の高齢者に入るのですがこの歳で初体験　異口同音にこんなに楽しめるなんて・・・

It was my first experience in October 2016. My wife liked it. It's coming soon! Please take care of it on January 30, 2018, as well.

2016.10初めての体験でした。
奥さんが気に入ってます。
もうすぐなんだ！

The cruise was fun. We had an amazing time on the boat with a funny crew. The tour is the money worth and I can recommend it.

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. I also requested transportation, and the shuttle arrived on time. Since it was 120 meters high, the view was great and I had a lot of fun.

ハワイでのパラセイリングは初めてでした。
送迎もお願いしましたが、時間通りに送迎車が来ました。
高さ120mのものだったので景色もよく楽しかったです。

Our entire group, including a friend with cebral palsy, had an incredible time! The crew taught us what we needed to know & provided us with everything we needed to have a great time except towels. They knew just where to go for us to see sea turtles!!!! We also saw several schools of colorful fish. We even had an impromptu boat party with music, snacks, drinks, pirate & viking hat! It was one of the best parts of our Hawaiian vacation! Worth every penny! If we come back to Hawaii, they will definitely be apart of our vacation plans!! Thank you Holokai crew

It was my first experience with parasailing, and I was scared at first, but I enjoyed the scenery of Hawaii. My 6-year-old child was also very excited and wants to go parasailing again. The guide was kind and it was a lot of fun.

パラセーリング初めての経験で、最初は怖かったですが、ハワイの景色を堪能でしました、ら
6歳の子供も大興奮でまたパラセーリングをしたいと言ってます。
ガイドの方も親切で楽しかったです。

The Japanese staff explained everything in English, so there were parts I didn't understand, but I enjoyed it without any issues. They informed us when the turtles were swimming and lent us towels to dry off. However, the meeting time was quite a bit earlier than the departure time, so we had to wait for over 30 minutes.

日本人は自分たちだけで、英語での説明でしたので、一部分からないところがありましたが、問題なく楽しめました。
亀が泳いでいるときは教えてくれたり、体をふく為のタオルを貸してくれたりしました。
ただ、集合時間が出航時間よりもかなり前なので、３０分以上待たされました。

Absolutely amazing time! The crew of the Holokai was great! They provided everything needed for our snorkeling adventure, they knew just where to go to see wondrous underwater life, and everyone aboard saw sea turtles as well as several different schools of colorful fish!!! They knew just where to go! Such a great value for our money! Sun, music, snacks, sails, water, and beverages. Woohoo! If you must pick one activity while in Hawaii, this is it! You will not be disappointed

Despite my companion, who is afraid of heights and dislikes water, feeling nervous before the jump, once we were in the air, they were laughing joyfully. I even worried they might be losing it from fear... But thanks to the motion sickness medication, there was no seasickness, and once we were up, the breathtaking view was all mine. In a way, it was a graceful experience (laughs). The staff and the other people in our group were also enjoyable and satisfied! The driver who picked us up was so chatty that I wondered if they were okay, but they seemed to be really considerate and engaged us in various conversations. Thanks to that, the journey was never boring (＾∇＾).

高所恐怖症＆水が嫌いな同行者が飛ぶ前はナーバスになったにも関わらず、飛んでしまえば満面で爆笑
怖さでおかしくなったかと心配するほど…
でも酔い止めのお陰で船酔いもなく上がってしまえば絶景は自分だけのもの。ある意味優雅な時間（笑）
スタッフも同じ組みの人達も楽しく満足です‼️
お迎えのドライバーさんも喋りっぱなしで大丈夫か？と思うほど気を使ってくれてるみたいで色々話しかけてくれます。お陰で道中も飽きないです（＾∇＾）

I was able to enjoy the stunning views, including Diamond Head. My 64-year-old mother also enjoyed the 120 meters, but she was initially scared of the height, so for those wanting to be considerate to their parents, a lower height might be better. Additionally, you can purchase photos on an SD card for $30, which made for a nice keepsake.

ダイヤモンドヘッド含めて絶景を楽しめました。
64歳の母も120mを楽しんでいましたが、高さは最初怖がっていた
ので親孝行の方はもっと低い高さでも良いかもしれません。
なお、写真をSDカードで30$で購入できますが、良い記念になりました。

The catamaran, which is neither a sightseeing boat nor a yacht, was the best tour where we could enjoy the sea breeze while drinking Mai Tais and champagne, chatting, and dancing together. I saw comments saying they would repeat this, and I recommend it as well. The sunset, the night view of Waikiki, and Diamond Head were all visible from the sea, making the scenery absolutely stunning. The crew was also lively and made sure we had a great time.

遊覧船でもなく、ヨットでもないカタマラン号は、直接海風を感じながら、マイタイやシャンパンを飲んでしゃべって、踊って？皆で楽しく過ごせる、最高のツアーでした。コメントにリピするとあったのですが、私もリコメンドします。夕陽も、ワイキキの夜景、ダイアモンドヘッドも海から望め、景色も最高でした。クルーの方もノリが良く、楽しませてくれました。

It was my first time participating, but I had a wonderful time thanks to the friendly atmosphere created by the crew. Since it was Friday night, watching the fireworks while drinking champagne was incredibly exciting. I definitely recommend the Friday night cruise.

はじめての参加でしたが、クルーの皆さんのアットホームな雰囲気にたいへん楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。金曜日の夜でしたので、シャンパンを飲みながらの花火もすごくエキサイティングでした。金曜日の夜のクルーズは絶対にオススメです。

My husband had a high fever the day before, and I was worried about canceling, but thankfully his fever went down on the day of the trip. We both felt unwell and took some motion sickness medicine we bought at the ABC Store, unsure if it would help. There were three groups of Japanese people. There was hardly any time to stop, and I truly felt it was worth coming for the breathtaking views and the pleasant experience right from the start. After it ended, we quickly finished by watching others, and I didn't feel sick at all. You can get the photos on an SD card for $30. They show you the pictures, so you can decline if you want. I would love to ride again when I go to Hawaii.

まさかの旦那さんが前日高熱で、キャンセルしようかとも悩みましたが当日なんとか熱は下がり、2人ともに不調のままABCストアで買った聞くかどうかわからない酔い止めだけ飲んでいどみました。日本人3組。止まってる時がほぼなく、つくない1番最初で絶景の景色と気持ち良さで本当に来て良かったと思いました。終わった後も他の人の見たりであっという間に終わり全く酔いませんでした。30ドルでSDカードにしてもえます。写真を見せてくれるので断ることもできます。またハワイいったら乗りたいです。

At first, I was a bit nervous because there were few Japanese people, but once I got drunk with the free drinks, it didn't matter that we couldn't communicate!

日本人が少なく始めは
びびってまたが、フリードリンクで酔っ払ったら、言葉が通じなくても関係ありません！

Great boat. Fantastic, funny, best crew. Cold beers. And beautiful sunset. Highly recommend!

Very fun, we had a great time. Definitely the best way to enjoy a true Hawaiian sunset.

The departure location was also close to the hotel where I stayed. Although it was the arrival day, the meeting time was just right. I usually watch fireworks from the beach, but seeing them from the sea was powerful and moving. Even though I was traveling alone, I made friends with a pair of women at the meeting place and was able to have a great time.

出発場所も滞在ホテルから近く
到着日でしたが集合時間もちょうど良い時間でした。
花火はいつもビーチから見ていますが、海から見る花火は迫力あって感動しました。
ひとりたびでしたが、集合場所からふたり組の女性と仲良くなり、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

I had a great and refreshing experience last time, so I decided to repeat it. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the wonderful sunset like I did before, but it's still recommended as a great way to wrap up your trip.

前回たいへん楽しく、爽快だったのでリピートしました。残念ながら前回のような素晴らしい夕陽は拝めなかったのですが、旅の締めくくりには時間的にもお勧めです。

This is my second time participating.
There was no guidance in Japanese, and more than half of the passengers were non-Japanese, but that international vibe is GREAT! While feeling a bit tipsy with Mai Tais and sparkling wine, I chatted with the foreigner next to me, saw a pod of about 20 dolphins jumping up close, and witnessed a very beautiful sunset—all for a great price!!
By the way, wearing rain gear or a jacket for warmth is essential!

今回で2回目の参加。
日本語の案内もなく、乗客は半分以上日本人以外ですが、その海外感がＧＯＯＤ！マイタイやスパークリングワインでほろ酔い気分の中、隣の外国人とも会話して、20頭くらいのイルカ群れのジャンプも間近で見て、とっても美しいサンセットも見て、このお値段は安い！！
ちなみにレインウエアやパーカーなどの防寒着は必須ですよ～
