All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

The submarine was good, but there were places where the headphones were available and places where they weren't, so I couldn't hear the Japanese translation. The season might have been bad as well, but there were far fewer fish than I imagined. The windows were dirtier than I expected, and even when I took photos, they lacked clarity.

潜水艦は良かったのでが
ヘッドホンは あるとこと ないところがあり
日本語訳が聞けませんでした
季節も悪かったかもしれませんが
魚が想像してよりも ずっと少なかったです
窓が思ってより汚く 写真を撮っても 鮮明感が
ありませんでした

I had visited Hawaii several times, but I had never tried a cruise. This time, I participated in this cruise for the first time at the request of my family.

We cruised east off the coast of Waikiki, and it was unexpectedly fun. There were hardly any Japanese groups; most of the participants were family groups from the mainland United States, and they were lively and excited from the start. However, it wasn't uncomfortable; it was heartwarming to see the children having a great time splashing in the waves at the front of the boat. By the time we turned back for the second half, the kids had calmed down, and we were able to enjoy the sunset leisurely.

First of all, if you absolutely don't want to get wet, this cruise is not for you. You will definitely get wet up to your knees when boarding. Depending on the waves, you might even get wet up to your lower body. It's better to be prepared for that. On the other hand, as long as you are sitting normally on the boat, you won't get wet.

Also, as others have mentioned, the meeting point is indeed hard to find. I was staying on the east side, so I walked along the coast, but it was quite a walk. I recommend checking the meeting point thoroughly in advance.

I was with my 4-year-old child, and they were very satisfied, so I believe people of all ages can enjoy this. The evening tour is also a plus. As for drinks, as the tour name suggests, we started with "Mai Tai" (Mai Tai is served from the Mai Tai server), but some people were gulping down champagne. However, since the boat was rocking, it was hard to tell what we were getting tipsy from. The selection of soft drinks was not very extensive.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour in terms of cost.

ハワイは何度か訪れていましたが、あまりクルーズには未挑戦でした。
今回、同行した家族の希望で初めて当クルーズに参加しました。

ワイキキ沖を東方面へクルーズしていったのですが、これが予想に反して面白い。
日本人グループはほとんどいなくて、大半がアメリカ本土からの家族グループだったのですが、最初からテンションマックスで大騒ぎ。かといって不快なわけでなく、船の前方で飛び散る波に大はしゃぎしている様は微笑ましいものでした。その子供たちも、折返してからの後半からはおとなしくなり、今度はサンセットをまったり楽しむことができました。

まず、絶対に濡れたくない人は参加できません。
乗船時には確実に膝あたりまでは濡れます。波の具合によっては、下半身まで濡れてしまいます。ある程度は覚悟して参加するほうがいいでしょう。
逆に船上では、普通に座っている限り、濡れることはありません。

あと、皆さんも言っていますが、集合場所が確かにわかりにくいです。
私は宿泊が東サイドだったので、海岸沿いを進んだのですが、結構歩かされます。
事前に集合ポイントを十分にチェックされることをお勧めします。

4歳の子供と一緒だったのですが、子供も大満足でしたので、間違いなく老若男女楽しめると思います。夕刻からのツアーというのもgood。
ドリンクはツアー名通り、最初は「マイタイ」（マイタイサーバーからマイタイが出てきます）ですが、何人かはシャンパンをガブガブやっていました。ただ、揺れるので、何に酔っているのかわからなくなります。ソフトドリンクはあまり充実していませんでした。

コスト的に満足したツアーでした。

Great crew, seats, not just netting, beautiful views from the sea. Added surprise was the friendliness of the passengers even before the bar opened! Met almost everyone on board, laughed almost non-stop. BTW, despite what their website says, there IS A BATHROOM on board. Great experience!

Really truly awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable people. Honestly they were just as cool as the actual diving experience. If I'd been able to spend more time on the island I would have just completed my certification through them. 5 stars.

My two 11-year-old daughters had their first experience. Both of them enjoyed it without being scared, saying it was fun and beautiful! It was a very good experience. However, I did get seasick. Also, I didn't have the $30 for the photo fee, so I couldn't request any, which was disappointing. Fortunately, I did have enough for the tip, so that was good.

11歳の娘二人が、初体験しました。
二人とも、怖がることなく、楽しい！キレイ！
と、とても良い経験できました。
ただ、船は酔いました。
あと、写真代の30ドルを持ってなかったので、
頼めなくて、残念。かろうじて、チップ代は
あったので、良かった。

We started early in the morning. The driver for our pickup couldn't speak any Japanese, but he did his best to communicate with gestures. The weather wasn't great for parasailing, as it was cloudy. However, once we took off, it felt amazing!!! It was the best! The other passengers were also having a great time.

110 meters is quite high, but I was able to enjoy the view and the height without feeling scared! The boat does rock quite a bit. If there are many participants, the wait time can be long, so if you're not good on boats, definitely take motion sickness medication. If you do get sick, just let them know, and they'll guide you to a spot with wind and give you a bucket, haha.

The photographer, who also seemed to be in charge of preparations, took photos for $30 per SD card. The quality was okay. Since we couldn't take pictures ourselves and the other passengers were feeling seasick, we decided to buy it. They did capture some nice smiling photos and a few scenic shots, so I felt it was worth it.

It's a good idea to give a tip of around $10. At the end, they ask everyone for tips, so you can give it at that moment. Haha.

早朝のスタートにしました。
送迎のドライバーさんは日本語全くできませんでしたがジェスチャーで頑張って伝えてくれます。
パラセイリングは天候に恵まれず曇り。しかし飛び立つと最高に気持ちがいい！！！！！
最高です！一緒に同乗した方々もとても楽しんでおられました。
110メートルはかなり高いですが恐怖感なく景色を見たり高さを楽しめました！
船はかなり揺れます。参加人数が多いと待ち時間も長くなるので船が苦手な方は必ず酔い止めが必要です。酔ったら自己申告すると風の当たるところに誘導されバケツを渡されますよwww

写真はカメラマンさん兼準備担当みたいなお兄さんがSDカード1枚30ドルで撮影してくれますが内容はまあまです。でもスマホ等では自分たちは撮影できないし同乗の方々が船酔いしていたので購入しましたがNICEな笑顔の写真や風景も少し撮ってくれるので私は買ってよかったなと思います。
チップは10ドル程度渡しましょう。最後にみなさんチップ下さい～と言われますのでそのタイミングで渡せば良いです。ww

The waves were a bit rough, but it was a very enjoyable cruising experience. It was a wonderful experience to be able to enjoy it together with the people on board.

少し波が荒かったが、とてもたのしいクルージングでした。共に乗船していた人達と一緒に楽しめる事は素晴らしい体験でしたね。

The cruise begins with a yacht ride from the beach. It's essential to wear sandals or go barefoot since you'll be getting into the water to board the yacht. Also, be aware that waves may come, so your clothes are likely to get wet! I ended up soaked up to my chest.

Even on the yacht, there's a chance of getting wet. A cool guy on the yacht serves drinks, including Mai Tais and soft drinks. Everyone sits together and enjoys the cruise.

I think it depends on the day, but it was quite rocky that day. Those prone to seasickness should be cautious; my friend got seasick. The kids were with us, but they didn't get sick and had a great time.

While enjoying the waves, I also took in the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. The highlight was definitely the sunset! It was absolutely beautiful! The cruise continues until the sunset is over.

I highly recommend this tour for those who don't get seasick; it's a unique experience you can only have in Hawaii.

海辺からヨットに乗ってクルージングが始まります。注意は、海に入ってヨットに乗りますから、サンダル履きは必須です。それか、裸足になるか。 あと、波がきますから洋服が濡れる可能性大です！私は、胸あたりまで濡れてしまいました。
ヨットに乗っても濡れる可能性あります。
ヨットでは、カッコいいお兄さんが飲み物を渡してくれます。マイタイ、ソフトドリンクもあります。
皆さんで座っでクルーズします。
日によるのだと思いますが、この日はかなり揺れました。船酔いされる方は要注意です。私のお友達も酔ってしまいました。子供たちも一緒でしたが、子供たちは酔わずとっても楽しんでました。
ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキを見ながら、私は波も楽しみました。
一番のポイントは、サンセット!とっても綺麗でした！
サンセットが終わるまでクルーズしてくれます。
船酔いがない方には、とってもおすすめでハワイならではのツアーですね。

We were a couple with a big group of family so we took up half of the catamaran anyways - it was a great experience, thorough and the guys were really caring for this of us who didn't feel well! Definitely recommend!!

The only participant in the tour was Japanese, and since everything from the explanation to the end was in English, they tried very hard to explain things, but I couldn't fully understand until the end.

ツアー参加者で日本人が我家のみで、説明から終了までが全て英語だった為に
一生懸命説明などをしてくれていたのですが、最後まで良く理解出来ずに終了してしまいました。

In the end, I only caught two fish (>_<)

Two other family members participated, but they didn't catch anything (//∇//)

The captain was cheerful and kept the mood lively, which was fun, but...

When you can't catch anything...

The current was strong, and there were many snags, and since we were targeting flatfish, it was a tough fishing experience.

The only saving grace was the beautiful sunset during our evening departure...

結局自分は２匹しか釣れなかった(>_<)

他に家族２名参加したけど　その2名は　ボーズ(//∇//)

船長は陽気に盛り上げてくれて　面白かったけど

釣れない事には・・・・・

流れもきつく　根がかりも多く　カワハギ狙いなんで厳しい釣りでした

唯一　夕方の出港で　サンセットが綺麗だったのが救いでした・・・

It's a fun sailing experience with champagne, dancing, and just the two of us being Japanese. The captain and the bartender (who is cute and strong) really liven things up!

シャンパン飲んで、踊って、楽しいｾｰﾘﾝｸﾞです。日本人は私達2人だけでしたが、キャプテンとバーテン(可愛いて逞しい)が盛り上げてくれます‼

Initially, I wasn't sure if the reservation would proceed due to bad weather, and I ended up waiting for over 30 minutes at the meeting point... After contacting the hotel, I found out it was canceled. I was able to rebook for the next day, and I was satisfied with the beautiful scenery and view as expected. It was a pity that there was no sunset.

はじめに予約した日が天候が悪く実施されるのかわからず、待ち合わせの時間から30分以上待ちぼうけ・・・ホテルから連絡してもらい、中止ということが分かった。
翌日に再予約してもらい、期待どうりの景色の良さ・眺めに満足です。海におちるのがなかったのが残念だった。

There were no staff who understood Japanese, and I didn't know what to do with the sticker I received... Next time, I want to use a place where there are Japanese-speaking staff. Even though I took motion sickness medication, the waiting time while others were flying was long, and I ended up getting sick and throwing up in the sea, which made the rest of my day terrible.

日本語がわかるスタッフがおられず、もらったシールをどうしていいかもわからず…
次に行くときは日本語スタッフがいるところを利用したいです
酔い止めを飲んでいても他の方が飛んでいる間の待ち時間が長く、酔って海に吐いて、その後の1日が最悪でした

I really can't tell if they are actually extending it to 150 or 90. For those considering 150, I think 90 would be fine.

150も90も本当にそれだけのばしているのかわかりません
150を考えられているかたも、90でよいと思いますよ

The hotel shuttle picked us up, and off we went to the ocean! Once we put on the parachute, we soared up into the sky!!! We could see Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki. However, be careful of seasickness.

ホテルに送迎の方が迎えに来てくださりいざ海へ！
パラシュートを付けると一気に空中まで！！！
ダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキの街が見れました。
ただし船酔にはご注意を。

We went with about 10 people. There was no one who understood Japanese, and the waiting time was just very shaky, as others were doing. I think it would be fun if you don't get motion sickness, but out of 8 people, 5 ended up getting sick.

10名くらいで乗り合わせていきました。
日本語がわかるかたもおられず、他の方がやっておられる待ち時間がとにかく揺れます。
酔わなければ楽しいと思いますが、8名中5名が寄って吐きました。

The captain was really lively and very American, which made it fun. On the boat, there was the captain and another person who helped with life jackets, provided explanations, and took photos. That person could understand some Japanese, which was reassuring.

Once we got to the top, they played around by shaking the ropes and splashing us in the water when we landed, which was amusing! But it was a lot of fun.

I bought an SD card with the photos they took for $30. I didn't know there would be such an expense and didn't have any money with me, but when I explained my situation to a Japanese speaker on the boat, they said they would keep the data for three days, so I was able to purchase the data safely.♡

When I got home and looked at the data, I was really happy because all the photos were great!!

Everyone was very kind, which was wonderful!♡

キャプテンがすごくノリがよくすごくアメリカンな方で面白かったです。ボートにはキャプテンともう1人ライフジャケット？をつけてくれたり説明してくれたり写真を撮ってくれる方が載っていました。
その方は多少の日本語が通じるので安心しました安心しました

上まで上がったところでロープを揺らしたり着地の時に水に落とされたり、遊ばれました笑 でも楽しかったです

$30で撮ってくれた写真のSDカードを買いました。
そんな出費があるとは知らずお金を持っていませんでしたがボートに乗っていた日本語がわかる方に説明したら3日間データを置いといてくれるとゆうことで無事データを買うことができました♡

家に帰ってデータを見を見たらすごくいい写真ばかりで良かったです！！

みなさんすごく親切な方で良かったです♡

This was an amazing experience! The boat captain and assistant were great--very capable and a lot of fun. Definitely unforgettable!

This was my second time trying parasailing since my experience in Okinawa, and the parasailing in Hawaii was full of speed and excitement. The staff took fun photos and provided great service, making it a wonderful memory.

パラセーリングは沖縄で挑戦して以来2度目でしたが、ハワイのパラセーリングはスピード感満載でエキサイティングでした。スタッフが面白い写真を撮ってくれたりサービスも充実してて良い思い出になりました。

We participated as a couple on the first flight of the day.
I thought I would get motion sickness, so I took some motion sickness medicine!
There were a total of four couples, including us, and everyone was really nice, taking pictures of each other!
It seems that if you want the staff to take your picture, you need to let them know before you fly.
We chose to go up to 150 meters, and I was amazed by the beautiful blue of the ocean that you can't see in Japan!
When the wind blew, it felt like swinging on a swing, and I thought it was scary! But thanks to the skilled captain's maneuvering, we quickly moved to a spot with less wind, which made me feel safe.
I had heard that lying down helps with motion sickness, so I relaxed with my legs stretched out in the boat's seat.
Since there were only four couples, there was plenty of space, and the staff didn't say anything to me, so if you're worried about seasickness, I recommend trying that.
Along the way, a lovely lady from Okayama even offered me her lap to rest my head on, and thanks to her, I was able to enjoy the experience without feeling sick at all!
I wish I had asked for her contact information... Thank you so much for that!
The captain and the staff all prioritize safety.
Thank you very much!

朝イチの便で夫婦で参加しました。
元々乗り物酔いがひどいと思ってたので、酔い止めを飲みました！
私たち含め全部で4組でしたがみなさんとっても感じのいい方で、お互い写真を撮り合いました！
スタッフの方に写真を撮ってもらいたい場合は、飛ぶ前に言っておかないとダメなようです。
150メートルにしたのでが、日本では見れないような海の青さに感動しました！
風が吹くとブランコを漕いでるみたいにユーラユーラ揺れて怖っっ！と思いましたが、敏腕の船長さんの操縦で、すぐ風が弱いところへと移動させてくれるので安心でした(^_^)
乗り物酔い対策は、寝っ転がると酔わないと聞いていたので、船の座席で足を伸ばし
てリラックスしてました。笑
4組だったので座席に余裕があったからか、スタッフさんにも別に何も言われなかったので、参加予定の方で船酔いが気になる方はそうしてみてください。
途中、岡山県から来られた素敵な奥様に膝枕までしていただき、、お陰で全く酔わずに楽しむことができました！
連絡先を聞いていたら良かった、、と思っております。その節は本当にありがとうございました。
船長もスタッフの方々も、安全第一に努めてくださいます。
ありがとうございました！

Waikiki is known for its many Japanese visitors, but on this cruise, everyone except us was a foreigner! We were able to enjoy a cheerful, exotic atmosphere while sipping cocktails!

日本人が多いワイキキですが、このクルーズは私たち以外は皆外人さん！カクテルを飲みながら陽気な異国の雰囲気を味わえました！

The Japanese driver who picked us up was chatty and funny. Right after we met, he was full of risqué jokes, probably because we were newlyweds. (laughs) The parasailing was great weather-wise, but it was quite bumpy, and even though I took motion sickness medicine, I ended up feeling nauseous. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness skip a meal or eat lightly!

I appreciated the crew's thoughtfulness when they offered the scent of orange peels and asked if I wanted to eat.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises.

送迎の日系おじさんがおしゃべりで面白かったです。
会ってすぐ 私たちが新婚だったからか下ネタ全開でした。(笑)
パラセーリングは天気は良かったのですが、結構揺れて酔い止めを飲んでいたのに酔ってしまいました。
酔いやすいかたは食事は抜くか少な目にする事をおすすめします！

乗組員の方が気を使ってオレンジの皮を匂わせてくれたり、食べる？と聞いてくれたり気遣いが嬉しかったです。

また機会があれば参加したいなと思いました。

This was the best experience in our lives. The guides were friendly and very helpful. I would go again with this group in a heart beat. Our pictures turned out great. The view was excellent and really enjoyable.

Had a great time with these ladies! They did an awesome job explaining and teaching us what to do. Would definitely surf with them again!

Our scheduled tour was canceled due to engine trouble. We were asked to reschedule for the next day, but since it was our return date, we strongly requested to join another boat tour that was departing 30 minutes later. There was only one other group besides us, and I think the parasailing time was longer than expected. We also got to drive the cruiser and were able to see whales in the distance. We took photos during the flight with another group using our smartphones and ended up purchasing the photos for $30. We chose the 120m height, which I thought was just right. It was a lot of fun, and my friend said it was the most enjoyable among all the marine sports.

当日予約していた時間にはエンジントラブルのため欠航となりました。翌日に変更をお願いされましたが、帰国日のため変更ができず強くお願いをし３０分後に出発する別のボートのツアーに参加しました。私たちの他に１組しかおらず、パラセーリングの時間も長かったと思います。クルーザーも運転させてもらい、遠くにクジラを見ることもできました。飛行中の写真をスマートフォンでもう一組と撮影し合いましたが、３０＄払って写真も購入しました。１２０mを選びましたが、高さも丁度よかったと思います。すごく楽しく友人はマリンスポーツの中で１番楽しかったと言っていました。

I joined the tour because it was advertised as a Japanese-language tour, but the guide's Japanese was quite poor.

Also, depending on your seat, you might not be able to see the fish. It seems that the other side had colorful fish, but on the side I was sitting, I could only see a few horse mackerel and black fish.

Additionally, it was a plan that promised a diving certificate, but I ended up receiving nothing, and the treatment was the same as the regular plan.

I felt quite disappointed given my expectations, so I won't be participating again.

10時は日本語のツアーと書いてあったので参加しましたが、ガイドの日本語がかなり酷いです。

また、席側によって魚が見れない場合があります。
反対側はカラフルな魚がみれていたみたいですが、私が座った側はアジや黒い魚がちょこっと見れただけでした。

また、潜水証明書が貰えるプランでしたが何も貰う事なく終わり、扱いも通常のプランと同じでした。

期待していた分かなり残念な気持ちになったので、もう参加する事は無いです。

The welcome bus was clean, and we enjoyed drinks before boarding. There was also a service that took photos with our camera after we boarded. It was a packed experience. The ship was also clean, and we felt safe using it. We will use this service again.

迎えのバスもきれいで、乗船前にドリンクをいただき
乗船後も当方のカメラで写真を撮ってくれるサービスもあり
盛りだくさんでした
船もきれいで安心して利用することができましたまた利用します

This is my first time with the Waikiki Dive Center. Amazing and Unforgettable experience.

Although it is introductory scuba diving, the instructor will actually give you freedom to swim around while accompanying you based on your needs and previous experience. (Other company's instructor will actually hold your tank while diving, which is annoying)

99% safe and they will never force you to do anything uncomfortable.

Highly Recommended.

I did the 120m parasailing! The person who picked us up was very playful and kept us laughing the whole time! However, the pickup person, the instructor, and the receptionist do not speak Japanese.

If you're unsure whether to choose 120m or 150m, I recommend the 120m! Since you're over the ocean, the height sensation doesn't feel much different, and for an additional $30, you can buy an SD card with several photos taken during the experience, making it almost the same price as the 150m option, which feels like a good deal!

Here’s a bit of a spoiler: when you finish flying, the rope automatically retracts and you return to the boat, but you get dropped into the sea from a low height... It feels like a splash. So, you will get wet! I brought denim shorts to change into, but there was no place to change, so I just wore my denim. Also, I was told to place my own towel on the seat to avoid wetting the bus, so definitely bring a towel!

- Something to wear over your wet swimsuit
- A towel

It's better to bring those. Lastly, for those using an iPhone 7 (which is water-resistant), it seems you can fly while holding your iPhone 7 (at your own risk), but just in case, bring a waterproof bag with a strap to ensure you don’t drop it, or it might sink to the bottom of the sea... It can also get in the way when you're holding onto the safety belt and you might drop it. The moment you take off is very powerful, so you might accidentally drop it (I left mine on the boat). If you attach a strap to a GoPro, it should be fine!

120mのパラセイリングをやりました！
