All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

This was our second time participating as a family, following our first experience three years ago. It started well with three families, including two foreign families, boarding the boat in the morning and arriving offshore. However, when it was time to open the parachute and start, it seemed to get tangled, and we had to wait for about 10 to 15 minutes while they worked to fix it (untangling and preparing another parachute). The waiting period was the worst; due to the large boat's rocking, more than half of the participants on the boat got seasick. Just as the first group finally took off, my son ended up throwing up. After that, our family managed to fly as the second group, but due to the initial delays, our flight time was much shorter than originally planned, and the altitude was lower, making it a very disappointing experience. Another foreign woman also gave up, and the third family ended up not flying at all and returned.

３年前に続いて家族揃って2回目の参加でした。外国人家族2組と我々、計3家族が当日朝船に乗り込み沖に到着した所までは良かったのですが、いざパラシュートを開いてスタートという所で、パラシュートが絡まったようで、そこから復旧作業(ほどいたり別のパラシュートを準備したり)で、10分～15分ほど待たされました。その待ち状態中が最悪で、大きな船の揺れのため、船にいた参加者の半分以上が船酔いに。最初の一組がようやく飛び出した所で、息子は吐いてしまいました。その後我が家も2組目で何とか飛ぶことはできたのですが、最初のもたつきがあってか飛行時間も当初予定時間(見込時間)と比べて大変短く高さも低く非常に残念なフライトでした。他の外国人の女性もギブアップしてしまい、3組目の家族は結局飛ばずに戻ることになりました。

I was able to go parasailing on a beautiful day, and it created the best memories. The staff was very energetic, and they even raised the altitude higher than planned. There was a little incident where my child ended up submerged in the water up to their head during landing, but that added to the fun. I definitely recommend it!

天気が良い日にパラセーリングができて、最高の思い出ができました。テンションが高いスタッフで、予定よりも高度を上げてくれたり、着水時に子供が頭まで水中にゴボゴボしてしまうハプニングはあったものの、それがまた楽しめた要因でしょう。ぜひ、おすすめです！

The meeting point was within walking distance from the hotel where we were staying, making it easy to get to. Since it finished in half a day, we were able to make good use of the afternoon as well.

集合場所も宿泊していたホテルから徒歩圏内で行きやすかったです。
半日で終わるので午後からの時間も有効利用できてよかったです。

It was my very first time surfing, but I was glad that the instruction was easy to understand for beginners.

サーフィンをするのは全くの初めてでしたが、初心者にもわかりやすく指導してくれてよかったです。

It was awesome! The crew was fantastic. I would highly recommend this cruise to anyone and everyone!

We went parasailing because our child wanted to try it, but on the day of the activity, the wind was strong and the boat was quite rocky. All family members were able to fly at once, but the strong winds made some feel nauseous, and it seemed like they experienced discomfort from being tense and wanting to come down but not being able to. The tour itself went smoothly, and the driver was attentive, offering advice and showing concern for the child who was feeling unwell, so the staff's response was good. Since the wind strength is unknown until the day of the activity, I think those participating with small children need to consider an appropriate height.

子供がやってみたいという事でのパラセーリングでしたが、当日は風が強い状況で船の揺れは強めでした。
家族全員が1度に飛ぶことは出来たのですが、強風で気分が悪くなり、高さから体が緊張状態で下りたいけど下りられない事に苦痛を感じたようです。
ツアー自体は問題なくドライバーの方は具合の悪くなった子供を心配してアドバイスをくれたりとスタッフの対応は良かったです。
風の強さは当日まで分かりませんので、小さい子供と一緒に参加される方は適切な高さを考える必要があると思います。

The guys were excelllent, all very well run, and took us to see several beautiful turtles up close.

As a light activity for the first day in Hawaii, it seems reasonable. However, when I arrived at the designated check-in time, I had to wait for 15 minutes.

ハワイ初日の軽めのアクティビティとしては手頃なのでは。
ただ、指定のチェックイン時刻に行ったら、15分待たされた。

Wow what a great way to see the fireworks over the Hilton Hawaiian on a Friday night in Honolulu. The staff on the MaiTai Catamaran was wonderful and the fresh MaiTais were delicious and refreshing!!!!

I tried to make a reservation on-site, but it seems to be quite popular, and I was turned down about three times before I finally managed to get on. The wind felt nice, and it was a lot of fun.

現地予約しようと思ったら人気があるみたいで3回ほど予約を断られ何とか乗れました。風が気持ちよく楽しかったです。

About 80% of the guests were from English-speaking countries (there were 6 Japanese people), and the captain and bartender on board were also American. All announcements were in English, but since the explanations for drinks and life jackets were simple, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Personally, I preferred this place over one filled with only Asians. I made friends with other American passengers and had a great time. By the way, drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there was sparkling wine available. My recommendation is the Mai Tai!

利用客の8割型が英語圏の方(日本人は6人)で、クルーとして乗っている船長、バーテンもアメリカ人でした。全てのアナウンスメントが英語ですが、飲み物の説明や救命胴衣の説明などシンプルなものなので、あまり困らないでしょう。
個人的には、アジア人ばかりの場所よりもこちらが好きでした。他のアメリカ人の乗客とも仲良くなり非常にたのしかったです(^^)
ちなみにドリンクは飲み放題でスパークリングワインもありました。イチオシはマイタイです＾＾

It was more fun than I expected.
Even though I couldn't communicate in Japanese, I managed to get by with the vibe.
I purchased the photo data, and I'm glad they took so many pictures.
You can enjoy it even if you're not good with roller coasters!

思ってた以上に楽しかった。
日本語は通じないがノリでなんとか‥
写真のデーターを購入したが、たくさん撮ってくれてて良かった。
ジェットコースターが苦手でも楽しめますよ～

Seeing Waikiki from the ocean side and Diamond Head was great, and the sunset was beautiful! I want to participate every time I go to Hawaii.

海側から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも良かったですし何と言ってもサンセットが綺麗でした！ハワイに行く度に参加したいです。

There were no sudden rises or drops, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind! It was amazing to see Diamond Head right in front of me. I flew higher than the seagulls and enjoyed a walk in the sky.

急上昇や急降下もなく、安心して楽しむことができました！ダイヤモンドヘッドが目の前に見えて最高でした。カモメよりも高く飛んで、空の散歩を楽しむことができました。

There was also an 86-year-old grandfather in another group, and he seemed to be having a great time flying. Everyone except us was experiencing the 90m flight, but they returned quite quickly. The 150m flight clearly offers a longer flying time and is more enjoyable, so I recommend it. You might feel a bit confused at first when you get on, but leaning back properly will provide more stability!

別のグループに86歳のおじいさんもいましたが、楽しそうに飛んでらっしゃいました。私達以外は90mの体験をしてましたが、結構あっという間に帰ってきてました。150mは明らかに飛んでる時間も長く、より楽しめますので、お勧めです。乗るときは初めは戸惑うかもしれませんが、後ろにしっかりと体重をかけた方が安定します！

I'm afraid of heights, but my husband really wanted to try it, so I challenged myself at the lowest height. It was higher than I expected and scary, but it was fun and over in no time. At the end, you splash into the sea, so it's best to wear something that can get wet! The transportation staff and the boat crew were also very kind!

高所恐怖症なのですが、夫が是非やりたいと言い、1番低い高さに挑戦しました。
予想より高く、こわかったですが、あっと言う間で楽しかったです。
最後、海にポチャンするので、濡れても大丈夫な格好がいいです！
送迎の方も、船のスタッフも親切でした！

The crew was nice and competent. But, two groups of early 20's drove the music played by the Captain. Frankly, I didn't take the sunset cruise to listen to music with F- Bombs and MF.

Every time I go to Hawaii, I participate, and this was my fifth time. As soon as I board, I really feel like I've arrived in Hawaii. This time, the departure was at 11 AM, and the weather was nice, making for a pleasant cruise. The ship was about 70-80% full, and we were the only Japanese guests; there was one group from Korea and the rest were groups from Europe and America. The evening cruises are beautiful when you can see the sunset, but since drinks are all-you-can-drink, it can get a bit too noisy. The daytime cruises are more relaxing. Of course, I will participate again next time.

ハワイに行くたびに参加して、もう５回以上になりますが、乗るとハワイに来たことを実感します。今回は、１１時発でしたが、天気も良く気持ちのいいクルージングでした。７～８割ぐらいの乗船率で、日本人は珍しく我々だけ、あとは韓国人グループが１組で、他は欧米人のグループでした。夕方からのクルーズも夕日が見えるときれいなのですが、飲み放題なので、騒がしすぎるという一面もあります。昼の方がゆったりできます。次も、当然参加します。

Did this one second day into the trip and it did not disappoint. Had a fantastic time and will definitely do it again when we come back next year !!!

This is the second time we have had an excursion with these guys, last Sept 2016 we did the Sunset one ( sensational !!) This time the fireworks and had the best night. can't wait to come back next year and do it again !!!

I attended a show with family members who were at a wedding. We enjoyed it from the VIP dinner seats. While the first-floor seats allowed us to see the show up close, we had to look up from our seats, making it seem like the second-floor general seating would provide a better overall view of the stage. It was an American-style impersonation show, and not only was the quality impressive, but the structure of the show and the performers' likenesses were also quite moving. Many stars, from Elvis to Michael, made appearances. Additionally, the fire dance and hula dance were very captivating.

結婚式に参加の親族でショーを見学。
ＶＩＰディナー席で観賞しました。
１階席で目の前でショーを見れますが、席からは見上げる形になり
舞台全体を見るなら、２階の一般席の方が見やすそうでした。
アメリカ版モノマネショーでしたが、出来栄えもさることながら
ショーの構成も演者さんのそっくり度も、かなりの感動ものでした。
エルビスからマイコーまで多くのスター？が登場します。
また、ファイアーダンスやフラダンスも、とても見応えはありました。

We all had a fantastic time and will certainly do it the next time we visit!

We did several activities on our honeymoon. Since it was my wife's first experience with parasailing, I accompanied her, but to be honest, it was tough for me because I get seasick. My wife seemed to enjoy the 120 meters of the experience. If you're going to do it, I recommend going for at least 90 meters!

ハネムーンでアクティビティをいくつかやってきました。妻がパラセイリング初体験だったので、同行しましたが自分は船酔いする為、正直キツかったです。
妻は楽しそうに120mを体験してました。
どうせやるなら90m以上がオススメです！

All staff were very friendly from shuttle service to the parasailing crew!!! Can't wait to book for another activity

From 120 meters in the air, I had a stunning view of the beautiful blue sea and sky, as well as the magnificent mountains. The wind at that altitude felt very gentle and refreshing.

120mの空からは青く綺麗な海や空、美しい山々が一望でき最高の眺望でした。上空では風がとても穏やかに感じられ気持ち良かったです。

We had a wonderful sail, and said we could have done it every night of our trip! Unlimited MaiTai's, friendly crew and crowd, it was the perfect way to start the evening! So beautiful and relaxing!

I was a bit worried about taking my 83-year-old sister-in-law on the cruise, but it was really enjoyable. The night view of Waikiki, the fireworks, and the sailing were all very pleasant. While some other catamarans weren't sailing, the captain was great, and I was truly satisfied. When boarding, your feet can get wet, so it might be helpful to bring a towel and find a way to warm your feet. My sister-in-law put her feet in a plastic bag.

83歳の義姉を連れてのクルージングちょっと心配だったのですが楽しかったです。
ワイキキの夜景、花火、セーリングとても気持ちよかったです。他のカタマランはセーリングをしていない船もありましたがキャプテンが良い方で本当に大満足です。乗るときに足がぬれますので、タオル、足を温める工夫が必要かも。義姉はビニール袋に足を入れておりました。

Saw whales, multiple sea turtles, eels & got to pet an octopus! Great trip.. will do again on next trip!

Thank you for being part of our memory making. It was an amazing experience. Your crew was extremely attentive and going out of their way to make our experience a pleasant one. We will certainly use your services again whenever we get the opportunity. Thank you

Watching the fireworks from the yacht became a wonderful memory! The night view of Waikiki was beautiful, and everyone was kind! I read reviews that mentioned discrimination against Japanese people, but that was absolutely not the case; they even gave us beer!!

ヨットからみる花火はすごく素敵な思い出になりましたー！ワイキキの夜景もキレイだったし、、みなさんが親切でした！口コミでは日本人を差別するみたいなこと書かれてましたがまったくそんなことは無くビールくれました！！
