All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

I was able to participate easily even though I couldn't exercise.

The staff's response was good, and I had a great time.

It was a bit inconvenient that there was no Japanese support, but it wasn't a problem.

運動ができなくても気軽にできました

スタッフの対応も良くて楽しかったです

日本語対応をしてなかったので少し不便でしたが、問題ありませんでした

I was able to take a lot of photos (you can purchase an SD card), and I made some great memories. I went with 120m, but I wondered if I could have done 150m as well.

たくさん写真を撮っていただき（SDを購入出来ます）いい思い出が出来ました。
120mにしたのですが、150mでもいけたかな？と思いました。

It goes higher than I expected.
And the view from the top was amazing!
Although you are identified by a sticker based on the height you signed up for, I didn't feel much difference in height.
I recommend it because you can enjoy Hawaii from the sky.

思ったよりも高くあがります。
そして、上から見た景色は素晴らしかったです！
一応、申し込んだ高さによってシールで識別されていますが、高さに差はあまり感じられませんでした。
ハワイを空から楽しめるので、お勧めです。

I participated in a group lesson. The instructor was very kind and taught us in a detailed manner, which was great.

グループレッスンに参加しました。インストラクターの方がとても親切で丁寧に教えてくれたので、よかったです。

Outstanding crew. My wife does great in calm water but with the choppy water she was apprehensive about snorkeling. The crew calmed her and threw bred crumbs into the water by her to get fish to come near her so she could enjoy the snorkeling close to the boat. Food was great.

I reserved a 130m flight. I was able to see the scenery, but the flying time was quite short. I didn't have any particular concerns.

130mを予約しました。景色もみれましたが、飛んでる時間がかなり短かった。
特に不安に思うことはなかった。

We had great time, the food was good with very nice servers who were also the hula dancers, they were very entertaining and made it a great experience, a singer was there the whole time too. Afterwards we went into the theater for the show. The performers were great especially the Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, also the whole show had a Hawaiian theme with interspersed hula dances. Best part was the guy with the fire at the end. Overall very entertaining and highly recommended.

I saw that they were giving away a photo DVD (worth $25) as a nice keepsake, so my wife and I signed up for a semi-private lesson. After the lesson, we received a DVD that contained a total of 435 photos, but we only appeared in 27 of them. Moreover, 11 of those were of us paddling back to shore. Including blurry and poorly taken shots, there were only 16 decent photos of us standing. There were about 10 good photos in total. I will never use this school again.

☆レッスン中の写真DVD（$25相当）をプレゼント！☆ と書いていたので良い記念になると思って、家内と２人でセミプライベートレッスンを申し込んだ。
レッスン後に受け取ったDVDには全部で435枚の写真が入っていたが、そのうちで自分たちが映っていたのはたったの27枚。
しかも、そのうちの11枚は岸に戻ってくるパドリング姿。
落ちかけやピンボケを含んで立っている姿は２人合わせてたったの16枚。
まともな写真は10枚程度。
2度とここのスクールを使うことは無い。

I used to think 90 meters was nothing, but the sea in Waikiki was incredibly refreshing and moving. Next time, I want to challenge myself to 120 meters.

９０メートルなんて馬鹿にしていましたがワイキキの海は大変爽快で感動いたしました。今度は１２０メートルに挑戦したいと思います。

Since Hawaiian shows are not easy to come by, if you're staying at the Hilton, I think you won't regret going to this one located on the rooftop of the parking lot. There are more locals than Japanese people. You can fill your plate with buffet-style food from the good seats in order. It's better not to expect much in terms of taste. However, the content of the show is worth it. The final fire dance, in particular, is impressive.

なかなかハワイアンショーは見れないので、ヒルトンに泊まってるなら、駐車場の屋上にあるこちらに行っても損はしないと思います。
日本人より本国の方が多め。
良い席から順にブュッフェスタイルの料理をプレートに入れて行きます。味は期待しない方が良い。
ただ、ショーの内容は価値あり。特に最後のファイヤーダンスは迫力ありますよ。

The staff was cheerful, and it was a very enjoyable experience. I was a bit worried because the explanations were in English, but I managed to get through it. The swaying was quite severe, so my child got motion sickness.

陽気なスタッフでとても楽しい経験でした。説明が英語だったので少し不安でしたが、何とか過ごせました。揺れがひどかったので子供が酔ってしまいました。

There were more than 20 participants, and there were other guests as well, but it didn't feel crowded, and we had a great time. The beautiful sunset, friendly staff, and free drinks were fantastic!

20名以上で参加し他の客もいましたが満員感もなく楽しめました。きれいな夕日とフレンドリーなスタッフ、フリードリンクは最高でした！

I was generally good with transportation, but I ended up getting seasick while waiting on the boat. I think motion sickness medication is necessary. The view was beautiful, with a higher altitude than when I experienced it in Bali, and I could see all of Waikiki Beach. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

乗り物には強い方でしたが船で待機している時間に船酔いをしてしまいました。酔い止めは必要だと思います。以前バリで体験した時より高度が高くワイキキビーチを一望でき綺麗でした╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

I had a great time diving. It had been a long time since my last dive so I considered myself a "beginner". Great staff and very helpful every step of the way.

I highly recommend them!

Everyone was really nice, and I had a great time!! The water was shallow enough to stand, which was reassuring. The waves kept coming, and they were gentle, making it easy for beginners to ride, which was great!! The instructor was friendly and made it fun ( ¨̮ )

However, after the session, there was no explanation about when we could go back or if there would be a bus to take us. When I asked, I was told the bus wouldn't come for 40 minutes, so I ended up walking back. That was a bit disappointing...

とてもみんないい人ばかりで楽しかったです！！
深さも足がつくくらいだったので安心でした。
波も次々に来てたくさん出来たし緩い波だったので初心者には乗りやすくて良かったです！！
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです( ¨̮ )

ただ終わってからがいつ帰っていいとかバスで送迎してくれるとかの説明が無く、聞いたらバスが40分来ないと言われ結局歩いて帰りました。
そこだけが少し残念でした、、、

I participated with my husband on April 26, just before Golden Week, during the Japanese guide's time. Based on the comments from other participants, I properly took anti-seasickness medication... The boat ride to the submersible was quite rocky. There were also some splashes of water... But I forgot all that in the underwater world. Fortunately, we encountered sea turtles three times. The artificial coral reef was home to many different types of fish, and the American (?) Japanese guide was enjoyable as well.

ゴールデンウィーク前の4月26日に日本語ガイドの時間に主人と参加しました。他の参加者のコメントを参考にきちんと酔止めを服用……潜水艇へ行く迄の船で結構揺れました。水しぶきも少々……そんなことも忘れてしまうくらいの海底の世界。ラッキーなことに海がめに3回出会いました。人工のサンゴ礁には沢山の種類のお魚達に、アメリカ人(?)の日本語ガイドも楽しかったです。

Originally, I was planning to use a different, cheaper catamaran, but I couldn't make a reservation. I also hadn't booked Holokai, but luckily, when I got there, I was able to slip into an opening that became available at the last minute. The sunset I was hoping for was decent, but the fact that I was able to go whale watching by chance was the highlight. The cheaper catamaran didn't go out far enough, so if I had used that one, I probably wouldn't have been able to go whale watching. I'm glad I chose Holokai.

元々は最安の別のカタマランを利用するつもりでしたが、予約が取れませんでした。
ホロカイも予約出来てなかったのですが、現地に行ってから、運良く直前に空いた枠に滑り込みました。
お目当のサンセットはそこそこでしたが、偶然にもホエールウォッチングが出来たのは最高でした。
最安値のカタマランはあまり沖までは行ってなかったので、そちらを利用していたらホエールウォッチングは出来なかったことでしょう。
ホロカイにして、良かったと思います。

I find this a very special treat for my out of state guests. The cruise is lovely, the drinks are good (the musics too loud for conversation) and the fireworks display is gorgeious.

My first parasailing experience.
It was arranged locally, and everything went very smoothly. The weather was perfect, and I had a great time. Even the argument I had with my spouse the night before was forgotten.
On the way back, we were even sent off by a pod of dolphins... I highly recommend it!

初めてのパラセーリング。
現地手配でしたが非常にスムーズでした。天気も最高で楽しめました。前夜の夫婦喧嘩も吹っ飛んでしまいました。
帰りはイルカの群れのお見送りまで‥‥おすすめです!

I was wondering if I would get drunk, but I didn't feel drunk at all. The view was amazing, and it felt great!

The staff was very kind, and at the end, I even received a juice!

I'm glad I did this!

酔ったりするかな？と思ったけど
全く酔うこともなく
眺めもすごく良くて
気持ちよかったです！

スタッフもとても親切で
最後にジュースまで
いただきました！

やってよかったです！

The earphones came with a Japanese guide, so I had no trouble at all!

The staff were very kind, pointing things out to me, and the boat went around to the other side so I could see everything again, so I didn't miss anything!

イヤホンは
日本語ガイドがついていたので
何も困ることはありませんでした！

スタッフの人も
とても親切でポイントを
教えてくれたり、
船も反対側に回ってくれてもう一度見れるので
見逃すことはありませんでした！

It was our first time in Hawaii with our 9-year-old and 16-year-old! We had a great time taking photos with a family we met on the trip, even though we didn't understand English! My daughter was thrilled to take a picture with a beautiful model-like woman at the helm in a Titanic pose. The sunset, Mai Tai, and atmosphere made for an amazing time.

9歳、16歳の子どもを連れて初めてのHawaiiでした！乗り合わせたファミリーと写真をとりあったりして英語がわからないにもかかわらず盛り上がりました！娘は船頭でモデルさんみたいな美女とタイタニックポーズで写真を一緒に撮ってもらい大喜びでした。サンセット、マイタイ、雰囲気ともに最高の時間でした。

On the day of the cruise, the wind was strong, and I was wondering if we would set sail, but we departed safely. There was a photo opportunity before boarding, which cost $20. I purchased it as a keepsake. We went quite far out, and with the wind and strong waves, seawater was coming into the boat, but it was the best cruising experience. The view of Waikiki from the ocean and the sunset were amazing, and it turned into a photo-taking event. However, I had gone to the restroom before boarding, and after disembarking, I had to dash to the restroom (laughs).

当日は風が強く、出航するんかなといった感じでしたが、無事出航。乗船前には写真撮影があります。こちらは20ドルでした。記念に購入しましたよ。結構沖の方まで出て、風があって波が強く、船の中まで海水が入って来てましたが、最高のクルージングでした。沖からのワイキキの眺めや、夕日が沈んでいく様は素晴らしく、写真撮影大会でした。ただ、乗船前にトイレ行ってたんですが、下船後はトイレにダッシュ(笑）でした。

We were a group of eight hula dancers, all in our 60s but feeling young at heart. We enjoyed the waves quite a bit while taking photos in front of the net. We went sailing out to Diamond Head, where we even spotted dolphins and turtles! We were the only Japanese people there. The check-in was quick, and the atmosphere on the yacht was very pleasant. It's always fun, no matter how many times you go.

フラの仲間８人、全員６０代でも気持ちは若い私達、結構揺れて前方のネットの上で波を楽しんだり、写真撮ったり。ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまでセーリング。イルカや亀も見えました！日本人は私達だけでした。受付も記念写真も素早かったしヨットの雰囲気もとても良く、何回乗っても楽しいです。

I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! The cruise had cheerful music and lasted nearly an hour! I was very satisfied! However, there was no shade, so I would definitely recommend providing something like umbrellas for those who are concerned about sunburn.

ウミガメをめっちゃ近くで見れて興奮しました！クルーズも陽気な音楽がかかっていて１時間近くありました！とても満足です！ただ影がないので日焼けが気になる人の為に是非パラソルの様な日陰を作って欲しいです。

I have also participated in a dinner cruise, but I didn't really need the meal; I joined to see the sunset! There are similar boats, so I ended up lining up at a different location. This one departs from in front of the Sheraton Hotel beach. Feeling the breeze and enjoying drinks, I was able to make friends with the people around me and see the most beautiful sunset. I highly recommend it!

ディナークルーズにも参加したことがありましたが、食事はそんなにいらないけれど夕日を見たいので参加しました！
同じような船があるので違う場所に並んでしまいました。こちらは、シェラトンホテルのビーチ前から出発する船です。
風を感じ、お酒やソフトドリンクを飲みながら、
まわりの人とも仲良くなったりして、サイコーにきれいな夕焼けを見ることができました。
オススメです！！

It was my first experience, and it was scarier than I had imagined. I was screaming while flying (laughs). However, the view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

初めての経験で想像していたよりも怖くて、飛んでいる間は叫んでました（笑）
でも、眺めも最高でとても楽しかったです！

I had a reservation for 8 AM on April 30th (Sunday). However, when I woke up, it was cold and raining, and I wondered if it would be okay. I got ready anyway, and just as I was about to leave, the phone in my room rang. They informed me that due to the rain, it was canceled. I managed to catch that I could reschedule for the afternoon or another time, and in the end, I moved it to the next day (May 1st) at 12:00 PM. Since it was rainy and cold all day, I think it would have been canceled even if I had changed the time.

Rescheduling for the next day was definitely the right choice! The weather cleared up, and the sky was bright blue. It was perfect for parasailing. There were no other Japanese people in the group; instead, there were Chinese, Australians, Spanish speakers, and people from Colorado, so we didn’t take pictures of each other. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case with a strap and off we went into the sky! It was beautiful and breathtaking. I did take some photos with my smartphone, but the weather was so nice that I couldn’t see the screen well and had to rely on instinct to take the shots.

When we came down, we splashed into the sea, but it was just a little bit on my backside. However, others seemed to be getting soaked up to their chests, and it looked like they were having fun with it.

The staff took some great photos for us, which I purchased for $30. Unfortunately, I lost the SD card with the photos in the sea afterward (crying).

The boat was very bumpy, so motion sickness medication is a must. Also, try to enjoy the distant views and laugh! I think that helps with not getting seasick. A Chinese girl looked like she was feeling unwell.

I debated between 120 meters and 150 meters, but 120 meters was more than enough.

For reference, I gave a $20 tip for two people when we got off.

4/30(日)の朝8時に予約していました。でも起きると寒くて雨降ってるし大丈夫かな？と思いながらとりあえず準備。準備も整えてさあ行こう！と思ったところで部屋の電話が鳴りました。
今朝は雨で中止とのこと。午後とか違う時間にリスケジュールしてくださいっていうのは何とか聞き取れて、結局次の日(5/1月)の12:00にしてもらいました。
一日中雨で寒かったので、多分時間をずらしても中止になっていたと思います。

次の日にして大正解！！天気は回復して真っ青な空。
パラセイリング日和でした。
乗り合わせたのは日本人は他にはいなくて中国人やオーストラリア人やスペイン語圏の人とコロラドから来た人たちだったので、写真を撮りあうことはしませんでした。
自分のスマホをストラップ付きの防水ケースに入れていざ上空へ！！
とてもきれいで感動でした。
スマホで写真を撮るには撮りましたが、天気が良すぎて液晶が見えずに勘で撮るしかなかったです。

降りてくるときには海にチャポンってしてくれましたがおしりがちょっとつく程度でした。
でも他の人は胸まで浸からせたり、お客さんを見ていろいろやってるみたいです。

スタッフの人が撮ってくれた写真はとても良く撮れてました。30ドルで購入です。
しかし、せっかく購入した写真のSDカード、そのあと海でなくしてしまいました(泣)

ボートはとても揺れるので酔い止めは必須です。
そしてなるべく遠くの眺めに感動しながら笑ってましょう！その方が酔わないと思います。
中国人の女の子は気持ち悪そうにしてました。

120ｍと150ｍと迷いましたが、120ｍで充分でした。

参考までに、チップは二人参加で降りるときに20ドル渡しました。

After having dinner, we watched the show.

The dinner started off with a fun atmosphere, thanks to a kind woman dressed in Hawaiian attire who adorned our heads with flower decorations and took photos for us.

To be honest, I participated with the show as the main focus and didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was surprised by how delicious everything was in the buffet! By the fourth day of our trip, I was getting tired of the heavy Hawaiian meats, but I was able to eat heartily. There were various performances during the meal, which made it enjoyable.

After the meal, we had dessert and felt great and full before watching the show. Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with the original material, but there were so many engaging elements that kept it interesting! The cast members were also very enthusiastic, which added to the fun. The highlight was definitely the Michael Jackson performance; despite a slight height difference, he looked just like the real thing! His dancing was incredible, and it felt like I was watching the real Michael. At the end, we took a photo together, and even up close, he looked just like him. I think anyone who knows famous rockers will enjoy this!

ディナーを食べてからショーを見る流れでした。

ディナーはハワイアンな格好の優しい女性が、頭に花飾りをつけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しい雰囲気ので始まりました。

実はショーをメインに考えて特にご飯には期待せずに参加しましたが、バイキング形式でどれも美味しくてびっくりしました！
旅行の4日目に行ったため、ハワイのお肉てんこ盛り＆味のこってりしたものに飽きて来ていた中、ぱくぱく食べることができました。
食事中もパフォーマンスが色々あって、楽しかったです。

食事の後はデザートを食べて、満腹でいい気分になってからショーを観ます。
正直私が元ネタになっている人をよく知らないということがありましたが、それでも飽きさせない演出が沢山盛り込まれていました！
そしてキャストの方々がサービス精神旺盛でそれもまた面白かったです。
やはり特によかったのはマイケルジャクソンで、少し身長は違えど本人としか見えないぐらいそっくり！
ダンスもバリバリで、本人を見ているような気分でした 笑
最後に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、近づいてもそっくりです。
有名どころのロッカーを知っていれば、誰でも楽しめると思います！

It was a three-person ride based on the guide's judgment. The view of the city and Diamond Head from above, as well as the ocean, was very pleasant. My parents, who are over 60, also enjoyed the 120 meters. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

ガイドさんの判断んで3人乗りでした。
上空からの街やダイヤモンドヘッドの景色、海もとっても気持ちよかったです。60歳超えの両親も120mを楽しんでいました٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
