All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

We went with five family members: three adults and two children aged 8 and 3. The two children were not prompted to wear life jackets, but we could borrow them for free if we asked. They provide three to four practical sessions. The staff members at the back steer while we paddle, so the girls and kids were fine just holding the oars. Riding the waves was more thrilling than we imagined! During our first try, while riding the waves, a Japanese surfer suddenly appeared, and we had to steer to avoid him, almost capsizing. Foreigners were all very good at dodging. For those who can't swim and for children, wearing a life jacket is absolutely essential. This kind of situation is rare, but it was quite scary. Since my 3-year-old was frightened, we ended our attempts after three tries, including one failure. They seemed willing to let us go again, but we decided to finish. Middle schoolers and above will have a blast!

大人３人８才３才の家族５人で乗りました。子供２人のライフジャッケトの着用促されませんでしたが、一応、無料で、こちらから頼み無料で借りれました。３回から４回実地してくれます。こぐのもスタッフ２人が後ろで舵をとりながら、してくれるので、女子供はオールを持ってるだけでも大丈夫でした。波に乗ると想像以上にスリリング！！最初のトライの時、波に乗ってる中で、サーファーの日本人が飛び出してきて、こちらが、舵を切りよけて、横波に当たられ転覆寸前でした。外人さんはみんな上手によけてくれます。泳げない方や子供は絶対にライフジャッケット必須です。こんなことは、まずないようでしたが、ビビリマシタ。３歳の子供が怖がったため、失敗入れて３回でトライ終了。もう１回行ってくれそうでしたが、終了してもらいました。中学生以上は、メッチャ楽しめます。

Worth every penny!!!
We enjoyed our cruise
Highly recommend it

Great fireworks, sailing, and Maitais! Definitely do it again.

I was a bit anxious about participating with my 63-year-old mother and my 5-year-old son, but my husband was also with us, so all four of us could enjoy the experience together. We all had a great time. Since we took motion sickness medication before departure, no one ended up feeling seasick, which was a relief.

63歳の母と、5歳の息子を連れての参加で不安もありましたが、夫も一緒に4人一緒に飛ばせてもらえました。みんなで楽しめました。出発前に酔い止めも飲んでいたので、誰も船酔いもせずに終われて良かったです。

When we set sail, we were rocked by the waves, but once we got out to sea, it felt like a comfortable cradle. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireworks, and as the night sky darkened, the stars began to shine, and the sparkling night view of Waikiki was beautiful. It was the best cruising experience, with the sea breeze blowing. However, when disembarking, the high tide caused the waves to be rough, and someone fell due to the strong waves. It's recommended to keep your phone and other items in a waterproof case.

船出した時は波に揺られましたが、沖に出てしまえば、心地良い揺りかごのよう。花火はもちろん堪能しましたが、暮れゆく夜空に星々が輝き始め、ワイキキの夜景の煌めきも美しく、海風に吹かれて最高のクルージングでした。ただし下船の際に満潮で波が高く、高波の直撃を受けて転んだ方がいました。携帯等は、防水ケースに入れておくのがオススメです。

I signed up for the 10 AM tour, so the commentary was in Japanese. The local guide's Japanese explanation was entertaining and easy to understand, with some jokes mixed in. We took a boat to the point where we boarded the submarine, and the second floor of the boat was very pleasant, giving us a nice cruise feeling. It was a bit cold inside the submarine. There were many young groups and families. We were able to see colorful fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't receive a certificate.

10時のツアーに申し込んだので日本語の解説でした。現地の方の日本語の解説は、ジョークも交えて面白おかしく、そしてわかりやすいものでした。潜水艦に乗るポイントまでは、船で行くのですが、船の2階はとても気持ちよく、ちょっとしたクルーズ気分が味わえて良かったです。潜水艦内では、ちょっと寒かったです。若いグループや、ファミリーが多かったです。カラフルな魚やサメも見れました(^ ^)証明書はもらえなかったです。

I returned to my teenage years and reaffirmed that Hawaii is an indispensable legend. It was great.

10代にもどれました、またハワイに欠くことの出来ないレジェンドで在った事を再認識しました、良かったです。

So much fun!!!!! I thought the guy I the office was a bit rude, but didn't let that effect my rating. The guys on the boat were so nice & friendly, made my family feel so comfortable. Awesome experience!

Originally, we were scheduled for the day before, but the meeting place was hard to find, so we couldn't do it that day. I communicated with Beltora and ended up making a reservation for the next day to experience it. I had participated before and had a great time then as well, but this time I was able to enjoy it amidst the loud music and excitement. I definitely recommend the 150-meter option.

元々予定していたのは前日で、集合場所が分かり辛く、結局その日は出来ずに、ベルトラさんとやりとりをして、次の日に予約とゆう形で体験しました。
以前も参加したことがあり、その時も楽しかったですが、爆音ノリノリの中、楽しく過ごすことができました。
やっぱり150メートルがオススメです。

Although it was a short time, we went out to sea and felt the beauty of Diamond Head and the surrounding scenery, truly experiencing Hawaii. I sailed with my daughter, and she also seemed very satisfied, saying she had a great time!

短時間でしたが、沖に出てダイヤモンドヘッドや周りの景色、海を感じて、ハワイに来たな〜〜と感じるセイリングでした(^^)娘と乗船しましたが、娘も楽しかった！と大満足の様子でした。

I have participated in sunset cruises several times, but this was my first daytime yacht cruise. The catamaran felt stable and didn't sway much. There was a net at the bow where I could lie down and look at the sea. It was refreshing, and the sea breeze felt great.
Drinks and snacks were included. The staff spoke only English, but they were very friendly and took photos for us.

サンセットクルーズには何回か参加したことが有りますが、日中のヨットクルーズは初めてでした。双胴船で安定した感じで揺れはさほどありません。舳にはネットが張ってあり寝転んで海を見ることが出来ました。爽快で海風が気持ち良かったです。
ドリンクとスナックが付いていました。フタッフさんは英語のみでしたが、写真を撮ってくれたりとてもフレンドリーでした。

The underwater world was not monochrome, but rather a monochromatic blue. I was peering in with all my might, but there weren't many fish. However, the view of Waikiki from the boat was great.

海底はモノクロならぬモノアオのせかいでした
一生懸命のぞいていたけど
魚はなかなかいませんでした
でも船から見たワイキキの眺めは
よかったです

It was hard to find the location, and I got lost. There is a boarding area at the beach inside the Sheraton. Before boarding the yacht, we took some photos and then got on. The welcome drink was a Mai Tai, followed by an all-you-can-drink option. There were about three groups of Japanese people, but most of the guests were white. However, I really enjoyed that it was the most interaction I had with foreigners during my trip to Hawaii.

場所がわかりずらく迷いました。シェラトンの中のビーチに乗り場があります。ヨットに乗る前に写真撮影し、乗船。アルコールはマイタイがウエルカムドリンク。その後飲み放題。日本人は3組程度でほぼ白人でした。が、ハワイ旅行で一番外人と触れ合えたのが楽しかったです。

It is a fun tour starting right from Waikiki Beach. The tide was high when we left so it was a bit if a challenge to get on board but once on it, it was a great evening. A good adult punch and local beer was all it took ...

When getting on and off, high waves came, and I got quite wet up to my waist. I had read reviews about this, so I wore a quick-drying dress, flip-flops, and a swimsuit underneath, which allowed me to enjoy without any stress.
The black yacht named Mai Tai stood out and looked cool, and the staff wore matching colored T-shirts, so I thought I would definitely buy one if they had it.
Drinking a Mai Tai, seeing a rainbow, and viewing Diamond Head from various angles felt really nice.

乗るときと降りるときに高い波が来て、けっこうビシャっと腰まで濡れました。そんな口コミを見ていたので、すぐ乾くワンピースに、ビーサン、中には水着を着ていったので、ストレスなく楽しめました。
マイタイ号の黒いヨットは、目立っていてかっこよく、従業員さんが同じカラーのTシャツを着ていたので、あればぜったい買ったのになぁと思いました。
マイタイを飲んで、虹も見れて、ダイヤモンドヘッドも色々な方向から見れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。

I had wanted to try this for a long time. I finally fulfilled my wish and went for it. I was unsure about the height, but I decided on 120 meters! In the end, I didn't feel scared at all and thought I could have gone even higher. I was also worried about getting seasick, but that was fine. The staff's high energy and brightness lifted my spirits, and before I knew it, it was over without even having time to feel seasick. Next time, I definitely want to participate again.

以前から一度チャレンジしてみたいと思ってました。
やっと念願かなって飛びました。
高さをどうしょうか‥と悩みましたが‥120メートルに決定！
結果‥全く怖さも感じずもっと高くても良かったかも‥と思いました
心配してた船酔いも、大丈夫でした。
スタッフのテンションの高さや明るさで、気分も上がり‥船酔いする間も無くあっという間に終了‥次回‥また参加したいです。

Riding on a submarine was a first-time experience for me. It was great to see the fish at the bottom of the sea and the sunken ship. However, I did feel a bit seasick.

潜水艦に乗った事自体が、初体験でした。
海底の魚達や沈没船を観れた事が、とても良かったです。
ただ、少し船酔してしまいました。

We boarded the ship with a total of four groups, and they guided us to our journey in the sky efficiently and safely!

Since we departed early in the morning, the sunlight wasn't too strong, making it quite pleasant! We'll come back to visit again!

計4組で船に乗船し、手際よく安全に
空の旅へと誘ってくれました‼

朝一から出発したので、
日射しも強くなくて心地よかったです！
また遊びに行きます！

On the first day of my arrival, since I couldn't predict the time, I opted for a trolley day pass instead of a time-specific tour to head to Diamond Head. The trolley made stops for about five minutes at scenic spots, allowing me to take some photos. I got off at Kahala Mall and enjoyed dining and shopping.

入国初日は時間が読めないため、時間指定のツアーにせずトロリー1日券でダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かいました。景色のいいところでは5分くらい停車してくれたので写真も撮れました。カハラモールで降りて食事とショッピングを楽しめました

From check in with the staff at the office to Our instructor Christian and Captain Steve and the rest of the crew, the whole day was outstanding! Great instruction, kindness, patience, and clean equipment.

While being rocked by the boat, the crew also got everyone excited, and with some drinks in us, we all became cheerful, dancing and singing. We had a great time and definitely want to participate again next time.

船に揺られながら、クルー達も盛り上げてくれて、お酒が入った私達もみんな陽気になり、踊ったり、歌ったりとっても楽しめました。次回もまた、必ず参加したいです。

The Rock a Hula show was good, including Elvis presley, michael jackson, and katie perry. It also included traditional festive hawaiian misic, and dance, as was quite entertaining.!! I would recommend taking the show-laua package, food was great, and hosts were sooo nice!! I hope you will decide to go. The fire knife dance was also very entertaining!! He pressed the fire directly to his tongue, and held up the fire directly with his feet! Also twirled the fire with both hands! I cannot believe how he can stand the heat!! Elvis presley sang many songs, and came off the stage into the balcony, and shook my hand, and hugged my wife, unbelievable!! Michael jackson did his moonwalk, and sang classic mj songs like billie jean, etc., so entertaining!! He really looked like michael jackson, the black geri-curled hair, signature white glove, red dance jacket, and those famous michael jackson dance moves, WOW!!
I can't say enough about the venue, the hotel which held the show, the drinks were awesome, all the staff were so nice, so accomodating, and everyone was helpful!! When I return to hawaii in june I plan to go again with my sons!! You would really enjoy this show, I highly recommend it!! The total experience was an unforgettable pleasure!!

I was a bit worried that 150 meters would be scary, but it felt amazing! The boat was really rocky on the way to the parasailing spot, so I took motion sickness medication, but I still got seasick. However, I'm glad I participated.

150メートルにしたので、怖いかなと不安でしたが最高に気持ち良かったです！パラセーリングスポットに着くまで船が凄く揺れたため、酔い止め服用しましたが船酔いしてしまいました。でも。参加してよかったです。

My husband took me here for our Anniversary. We had a great time at the buffet! The food was amazing and so was the dinner entertainment! There isn't a bad seat in the place! They engaged the audience in the performance and not only were the main acts great, the dancers were amazing and kept the audience attention the whole time. You weren't ready for it to be over, but it was nice to take pictures wth the entertainers after the show. It was my husbands second time attending, so I bet we will be back for another show! Worth every penny!

During my trip to Hawaii with my mother, I wanted to see a hula dance show since we were in Hawaii. I found information about this hula show in other guidebooks and thought it might be famous, so we decided to participate. The location was excellent, right in the center of Waikiki, and the show ended after 9 PM. I was a bit worried about walking back to the hotel, but there were plenty of people around, and we were able to walk back safely.

We gathered at the Royal Hawaiian Center around 6:30 PM and had our meal in a tent-like area outside. It was a lot of fun to interact with others seated nearby. The buffet-style meal was delicious, and the staff were all very cheerful, creating a bright and enjoyable atmosphere. After having dessert and taking a restroom break, we entered the venue right in front of us and took photos with the performers.

When the performance started, the hula dance and impersonation show began, and everything was really enjoyable. Watching the performers dance so happily lifted our spirits as well. The impersonation performers ranged from stars of the grandmother generation to current popular figures, making it a show that people of all ages could enjoy.

Seeing this show energized me and made me feel very cheerful. It was a lot of fun!

母と2人でハワイへ旅行した際に、ハワイに来たからにはフラダンスを見たいと思い、他のガイドブックにもこのフラショーについて書いてあり、有名なのかなと思い参加してみました。立地がとても良く、ワイキキの中心部にあり夜9時過ぎに終演で、帰り道など危なくないかと不安でしたが、人通りも多く、ホテルまで歩いて帰れました。
18時30分頃ロイヤルハワイアンセンターへ集合し、食事は外のテントのような所で食べました。席が近くなった方と交流したりとても楽しかったです。また、食事はビュッフェスタイルでとても美味しい料理ばかりでした。スタッフの方もとても陽気な方ばかりで、明るい雰囲気がとても楽しかったです。 食後のデザートを食べ、トイレ休憩した後は目の前の会場の中に入り、パフォーマーの方と写真を撮りました。 パフォーマンスが始まると、フラダンスとモノマネショーが始まりどれもとても楽しかったです。パフォーマーの方がとても楽しそうに踊っている姿をみて、私たちも楽しい気分になりました。モノマネパフォーマーのおばあちゃん世代のスター〜今時の流行りの方だったりと、どの世代も楽しめるようなショーでした。
このショーを見れて元気が出ましたし、とても明るい気持ちになりました。 楽しかったです！

Fireworks, free Maitai's, and sailing at night along Waikiki beach. How can you go wrong? You can't. This is the best Waikiki attraction for the bucks. And the drinks were excellent.

OPEN BAR!!!!

Mahalo.

The driver for the pickup, the parasailing crew, and the staff were able to communicate even without speaking Japanese, and since three out of the four groups were Japanese, I had no worries at all.

I couldn't take pictures of myself while flying, so I asked the crew to take photos, and they captured some natural expressions, which became a wonderful memory. Instead of buying photos, I received an SD card with dozens of pictures for $30, so I felt it was worth it to request the shoot.

I chose a height of 120 meters this time. I was torn between 120 meters and 150 meters, and before the experience, I was scared, so I opted for 120 meters. However, it was not scary at all, and the moment I was rising into the sky was just the best. I felt like I could have gone even higher, so I think I would be totally fine with 150 meters. I was worried about the boat's rocking and took motion sickness medicine, but when the boat was moving fast, it was a bit scary, yet refreshing, so I didn't feel nauseous. The weather was cloudy and a bit chilly, but since the wind wasn't strong, it was calm while I was in the air.

Before going, I was unsure about the tip amount. I had planned to give 10% of the fee for two people, but since I didn't have small change, I ended up giving $20 for both of us.

Next time, I want to try 150 meters!

送迎のドライバーさん、パラセイリングのクルー、スタッフの方は、日本語が話せなくても、カタコトで伝わりましたし、今回は、4組中３組が日本人のメンバーだったせいか、全く不安がなかったです。
自分では、飛んでる姿を撮影できないのでクルーに撮影してもらい自然な表情が撮れていて、とても良い記念になりました。写真を買うのではなく、何十枚も撮影してくれたSDカードを頂けるので３０ドル出しても撮影をお願いして良かったと思います。
高さは、今回120ｍにしました。150ｍと迷いましたが体験する前は怖くて120ｍにしましたが全く怖くなくてグングン空に上がっていく時が、もう最高でした。もっともっと上がれ～という感じだったので150ｍでも全然大丈夫だと思いました。船の揺れも心配して酔い止めを飲んで挑みましたが、船が高速で進む時がちょっと怖くて、でも爽快だったので、酔いもなかったです。天気は曇りで肌寒い日でしたが、風が強くなかったので空にいるときも穏やかでした。
行く前はチップの金額に悩みましたが、２名分の料金の10％をお渡ししようと思っていましたが、細かいお金がなかったため、２名で参加して合わせて２０ドルお渡ししました。
今度は、150ｍ挑戦してみたいです。

This had to be one of the highlights of our holiday! Relaxing, amazing and the coktails are beautiful!

I had known about it for a while, but this was my first time participating. The day I had reserved before leaving for Hawaii was forecasted to be rainy, so I changed my reservation after arriving in Hawaii! Even though it was a windy day and some people were feeling seasick, it was truly a fun time with music, drinks, and cheerful foreigners!

以前から知っていましたが、今回初めて参加しました。ハワイ出発前に予約していた日は雨予報でしたので、ハワイに着いてから予約日変更！
それでも風が強い日で、船酔いされている方もいましたが、音楽とお酒と陽気な外国人ばかりで本当に楽しい時間でした！

These guys have got it down, great drinks, music selection, and beautiful views! Their maitais are delicious too!
