All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

During my last trip to Hawaii, I was so moved by the show before the Hilton fireworks that this time I wanted to see it up close, and I also wanted to entertain my friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, so I made a reservation.

The reviews beforehand weren't great, but we were very satisfied with the show.

The table we were assigned to had few Asians, but the foreigners sitting next to us were very friendly. The conch shell contest was also fun, as we formed teams at each table, which created a great sense of unity. By the way, we watched from the general seating, and it was more than enough.

The stage show was thrilling, and the female MC's storytelling was easy for Japanese people to understand.

Once the show starts, you become glued to the stage, so you won't have time to go for seconds at the buffet or even focus on eating. I recommend eating well before the show begins.

前回のハワイ旅行でヒルトンの花火の前にやっていたショーを見て
感動したので、今回はすぐそばで見たいと思ったのと初ハワイの友人を楽しませたくて
予約しました。

事前の口コミはあんまりでしたが、私たちには大満足のショーでした。

私たちの案内されたテーブルは、アジアの人が少なかったのですが
隣になった外国人の皆さんがとてもフレンドリーに接してくれて
ほら貝のコンテストも、テーブル毎にチームになって
その一体感も良かったです。
ちなみに、一般席での観賞でしたが十分でした。

迫力満点のステージショーやMCの女性の話術も
日本人にもわかりやすくかったです。

一度、ショーが始まるとステージにクギ付けになってしまうので
バイキング料理をお替わりに行ったり、食事なんてしてられなく
なるので、ショーが始まる前に、しっかり食べておくことを
お勧めします。

Was fun!! Hope to visit again Honolulu with other friends so they can try this Xtreme parasailing!and the 2 handsome guys was cool! 1 Keep up the good work!!

This activity is quite easy and can be completed in one hour. I participated in the 9 o'clock course and was back at the harbor by 10. The meeting point at the harbor is just a short distance from the Hilton Hotel. It's a bit hard to find, so I recommend arriving early. Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable activity.

１時間で完了するアクティビティでかなりお手軽です。私は９時からのコースに参加しましたが、１０時にはハーバーに戻ってこられていました。集合先のハーバーはヒルトンホテルからすぐのところです。すこしわかりにくいので早めの集合をおすすめします。総じてスムーズ、楽しいアクティビティでした。

We went snorkeling and saw a lot of turtles above the water. Water wasnt clear enough to see anything with snorkeling gear so they offered free open bar, free sandwiches and cookie.

Most relaxing sail into a magnificent sunset. Surrounded by other vessels in the bay, we had perfect seat for the fireworks. With a slight glow in the sky, and a breeze rustling through our hair the sail was the perfect Friday night date. The specialty drink in the shaker is SO good and even big enough to share! Now I have a special cute little momento of that Serene night holding my one and only's hand while we sail on the darkening sea. Would absolutely do again.

It was cloudy, and there was a bit of rain, but as we set off, a rainbow appeared, and thanks to the cheerful captain and staff, it turned out to be a fun cruising experience!

くもりで、雨もぱらついてましたが、出発と、同時に虹も出て陽気なキャプテンとスタッフの方のおかげで楽しいクルージングとなりました！

I was worried because I have a fear of heights, but when I saw the blue ocean, I felt completely fine! It was a wonderful experience, and I made the best memories!

高所恐怖症で心配でしたが、青い海を見たら全然平気でした！
とっても良い経験ができて、最高の思い出が出来ました！

It was an incredibly fun time for just $39.

As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht accelerated further, the passengers, feeling a bit tipsy from the splashes of water, were at their peak excitement, cheering and laughing. Regardless of nationality or group, everyone was joyfully acting like children.

By the time we returned to the original beach, the sunset was coloring the western sky, and I couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful memories of my trip to Hawaii.

たった39＄という設定が信じられないくらい楽しいひと時でした。

ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎてヨットがさらに加速すると、上がる波しぶきを浴びてほろ酔い気分の乗客もキャーキャーと最高潮。国籍もグループも関係なくみんな子供のようにはしゃいでいました。

もとのビーチに帰る頃には夕陽が西の空を染めて、思わずしんみりと楽しかったハワイ旅行を思い返していました。

It was so much fun. As we passed Diamond Head and the yacht picked up speed, the passengers, slightly tipsy from Mai Tais, splashed water and squealed with delight, laughing together beyond groups and nationalities—truly a scene fitting for a heavenly island.

By the time we returned to the beach, the sun was painting the western sky, and I reflected on the enjoyable trip to Hawaii. I think the emotions will be even more profound if I board on the last day.

とにかく楽しいです。ダイヤモンドヘッドを過ぎヨットも速度を増すと、マイタイでほろ酔い気分の乗客が水しぶきを浴びてキャーキャーと騒ぎ、グループや国籍を超えてみんなで笑う姿はまさに天国の島にふさわしい光景でした。

ビーチに戻る頃には太陽が西の空を染め、楽しかったハワイ旅行が思い返されます。最終日に乗れば、旅情もひとしおかと思います。

It might have been good that my mother and I went on the day we arrived. We both fell asleep, and when we were woken up, it was already over. However, it seems we didn't do the Hawaiian tradition of placing stones on our backs. That's the only regret I have.

I have the impression that massages in Hawaii are expensive.

母と二人で、到着した日に行ったのですが、ヨカッタのかもしれません。
二人とも眠ってしまい、起こされたら終わっていました。
ただ、ハワイ特有の背中に石を乗せるのはやらなかったようです。
それだけが心残りです。

ハワイのマッサージは高いイメージがあります。

Amazing time on 6/30/14! My first time being in the middle of the ocean and snorkeling...funny and entertaining crew and still made me feel safe...thank you!

We did the 600 ft for 6 minutes and wish we would've purchased to get higher! VERY beautiful view, definitely worth it. The take pictures of you for a fee of 30.00 with a SD card to take home with!

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was amazing! There was probably just one other group of Japanese people with us. We kept getting refills on our drinks too.

海からみるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッド、最高でした！　日本人は私たちとあと一組だったかな？　飲み物もどんどんおかわりしていましたよ。

Parasailing was my first experience, but the staff's instructions were easy to understand and they were very friendly, so I had a great time! There was a service (for an additional fee) that took pictures of me while I was on the ride, which made for wonderful memories!

パラセーリングは初めての体験でしたが、スタッフの指示はわかりやすくノリが良い方々だったのでとても楽しかったです！
自分が乗ってるところを写真に撮ってくれるサービス(別途料金有)があって良い思い出になりました！

we opted for convenient pickup from our hotel which arrived on time however if you choose to drive - the parking lot seemed empty at the marina. The crew was super friendly and it was a short ride out to open water. Plenty of photo opportunities for Waikiki Beach, surfers and Diamond Head as you had in and out. It wasn't long until the parachute was out and we're up in the air. We did 800 foot line. It's exhilarating yet peaceful up there with great views of the entire island. We were only up there for a few minutes. The crew does take 15-30 pictures while you're up there and will sell it to you for $30 on 4GB SD, which I recommend against it if you already have a GoPro or waterproof camera. Overall I'll say it was a great experience and I do recommend it during your stay.
We'll definitely do this again but with the 1000/1200 foot line.

We had so much fun and were glad that we can all 3 go at the same time. Would recomend this to all our friends that go and visit.

We had a good time nice fun ride would do it again next visit and recommend it to friends as well. Thank you

This was my first time participating! Although I have a fear of heights, I wanted to feel the wind and sky of Hawaii, and thought I might be able to do it if I was with my husband, so I decided to join!

My husband was okay with going higher, but since it was our first time, we signed up for 90 meters!

There were a total of five groups: two foreign couples and families, a Japanese couple and family, and us.

We were quite anxious since we don't speak any English, but the staff, including the drivers, could speak a little Japanese, so there were no problems at all.

The staff helped us with putting on the equipment, so without any explanation, we were ready to go up into the sky!

During the parasailing, I was a bit scared thinking it might sway or feel floaty, but it was hardly like that, and it was incredibly fun!! I was very satisfied to feel the beautiful sea, blue sky, and the wind of Hawaii!

I highly recommend it to everyone!

We also requested photos! We had some fun expressions during the water splash moments that we had never seen before. They took a lot of great shots, which became wonderful memories.

I was worried about seasickness, but I took motion sickness medicine and tried to look as far away as possible, and it was totally fine.

The staff's service was great, so I definitely encourage everyone to participate! Next time, I will challenge myself to go a little higher!

初めて参加しました！
高所恐怖症の私ですが、ハワイの風と空を感じたくて
主人と一緒なら飛べるかも？！と参加を決意！

主人はもっと高くてもよかったのですが、初めてということもあり
９０メートルに申込みました！

参加者は外国のカップルと親子の２組と
日本人カップルと家族、私たちの合計５組でした。

私たちは英語が全くダメなので不安でしたが、
スタッフの方は送迎の方も含めて日本語が少しできるので
何も問題なかったです。

装具をつけたりするのも全部スタッフの方がしてくださるので
何も説明がなくてもすぐに空へGO!でした。

パラセイル中、揺れたりふわっとしたりするのかなと少し恐怖感がありましたが
ほとんどそんなことはなく、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！！
きれいな海と青い空、ハワイの風を感じることができ大満足！

みんなにもおすすめしています！

写真も頼みました！
水ポチャの瞬間とか見たことのない楽しそうな表情の私たちでした。
本当にたくさん連写でとって頂き、いい記念になりましたよ。

船酔いも心配しましたが、酔い止めをしっかり飲み
なるべく遠くをみていたりしたら全然大丈夫でした。

スタッフの方の対応も良いので、ぜひ皆さんも参加してみてくださいね！
つぎはもう少し高いのを挑戦します！

Great experience, Chris and Steve were wonderful, very entertaining and knowledgeable. Saw lots of turtles and fish!!! Highly recommend!!!

This was my second time participating. Since it was the longest day of the year, we made several trips back and forth off the coast of Waikiki while waiting for the sunset. Thank you to the best crew! It was even more enjoyable than the last time. This is an essential event for a trip to Hawaii.

今回２回目の参加でした。一年で一番日の長い時期のため、サンセットを待ってワイキキ沖を何往復もしてくれました。最高のクルーに感謝！前回以上に楽しい時間となりました。ハワイ旅行に欠かせないイベントとです。

Staff was efficient and courteous. The trip was well worth the time and money.

Awesome experience. Recommended for first timers.

I never thought I would have the same experience after reading stories about others who had issues with their arrangements. However, when I arrived on the day of my cruise, I was told that my reservation had not been made. The staff only spoke English, and it was a situation where someone who struggles with English would likely give up.

Although I'm not very good at English, I had planned my travel schedule based on the cruise reservation, so I desperately negotiated. I had to change my plans, but I was able to switch to a cruise two days later. In the end, it turned out well, but it's really disappointing to have such issues in a place where communication is difficult. The cruise itself was pleasant, and I'm glad I had the experience.

ここで、手配ができていなかったという体験談を読んでいてまさか自分が同じ経験をするとは思っていなかったけど、当日時間通りに行くと、なんと予約がされていない、と言われてしまいました。相手は現地の英語しか話さないスタッフで英語が苦手な人はまずあきらめてしまう状況でした。
私は英語が得意ではないけれど、その日にクルーズの予約をしているうえでの旅行のスケジュールを立てていたので、必死で交渉しました。
予定を変えないといけなかったけど、なんとか２日後のクルーズに変更することができました。結果オーライだったからよかったけど言葉が満足に通じないところでこういうことは本当に残念です。クルーズ自体は気持ちよく、体験してよかったと思えました。

The pickup went as scheduled, and both the driver and local staff spoke a little Japanese, so it was okay! The parasailing was truly amazing!!

迎えも予定どうりで、ドライバーも現地スタッフも日本語が少し話せるからOkです!
パラセールは本当に最高でした！！

We had a great time, with a very attentive and fun crew, and the open bar was a real plus!

We are a couple who visits Hawaii for about two weeks every year. For dinner, we usually go to restaurants we always visit or those listed in coupon books, but I remembered how much we enjoyed the cocktail show at the Rock-a-Hula show two years ago, so this year we decided to upgrade and participate in the Green Room & Dinner. We were warmly welcomed by the staff with smiles at the VIP entrance and guided to the Green Room backstage, where we started with a welcome drink of champagne and light snacks. I remember spending a relaxing time while enjoying a fresh fruit platter. After a polite greeting from the manager, we had a great time taking photos with Lady Gaga. Then, the manager began a backstage tour, showing us the dressing rooms, costumes, and stage equipment that we wouldn't normally see, which left my wife very impressed! Meanwhile, I was thrilled to see her enjoying herself... feeling grateful for participating. The staff preparing for the show were friendly, exchanging casual greetings, and at the end, the manager took a commemorative photo on stage. After that, we were guided to our seats in the front row of the VIP area in the center of the stage! I was thrilled, and the Hawaiian gourmet dinner was beautifully presented, rivaling even top restaurants, with each dish being delicious. The aloha spirit welcomed guests without fail! I was once again impressed. The best entertainment unfolded on stage, with Elvis's fun talk bringing laughter and emotion, leaving me deeply moved. I believe that experiencing it firsthand will give you the true thrill more than reading my post. For those visiting Hawaii for the first time and returning guests... there is no doubt that all guests will receive wonderful hospitality and a fantastic stage. Among them, the Green Room Dinner & Show offers a five-star experience that exceeds cost performance.

毎年、２週間ほどハワイを訪問しているリピーター夫婦です。ディナーはいつも立ち寄っているレストランやクーポンブックに掲載されているレストランなどで済ませるのですが、２年前ロックアフラショーのカクテルショーに参加し大変エンジョイ出来たのを思い出し、今年はグレードアップでグリーンルーム＆ディナーに参加しました。VIPエントランスからスタッフの笑顔の歓迎を受け、バックステージにあるグリーンルームに案内され、ウエルカムドリンクのシャンパンと軽食でスタートしました。新鮮なフルーツの盛り合わせなど頂きながらゆったりとした時間が経っていったのを記憶しています。また、支配人から丁寧な挨拶の後、レディガガさんの登場で一緒に写真を撮ってもらったり楽しい時間を過ごしました。その後、支配人によるバックステージツアーが始まり普段見ることのできない楽屋や衣装、ステージ装置など案内と丁寧な説明に妻も大感激！その横で私は妻が楽しんでいる様子を見ながら・・・参加してよかったと感激？していました。ショーの準備をしているスタッフもフレンドリーで気軽に挨拶を交わし、最後はステージ上で支配人が記念撮影？その後客席に案内して頂きました。ステージ中央のVIP専用エリアの最前列！で感激、ハワイアングルメディナーは一流のレストランにも負けないくらいの素晴しい盛り付けで一品一品美味しい料理でした。抜かりなくゲストを歓迎するアロハスピリッツ！またまた感激。ステージ上では最高のエンタテイメントが繰り広げられ、プレスリーの楽しいトークで笑いあり感動あり、またまた大感激。私の投稿で読むより実際に体験していただければ本当の感激を実感して頂けると思います。ハワイ訪問が初めての方、リピーターの方々・・・すべてのゲストに素敵なおもてなしと素晴しいステージであることは間違いありません。その中でもグリーンルーム・ディナー＆ショーはコストパフォーマンス以上の体験をさせてくれる五つ星のツアーです。

Wow oh wow! I took my beautiful family out on my husband and my favorite sunset cruise! The service, music, and overall experience were incredible! What a great way to start off our trip. We have used this company several times and highly recommend this to others!

We were on a boat with a foreign family of five, two Canadian women, and a Japanese newlywed couple. We ended up going last in line, and since the boat was moving around quite a bit during everyone’s parasailing, I felt a little nauseous. However, once we were up in the air, it felt great to see the distant Waikiki Beach. It was a bit startling when the boat swayed to the right and left, but I was okay. The family ordered a $30 photo, but we decided to take pictures with the newlyweds and exchange them later via email.

私達夫婦と外国人の5人家族＆2人のカナダ人女性＆日本人の新婚さんと一緒のボートでした。
順番が一番最後になってしまい、皆のパラセイリングの時にボートがかなり走りまわるので少し気分が悪くなりましたが、上空では遠くワイキキビーチあたりを見ていると気持ちよかったです。右・左のフワフワと揺れるとヒヤッとしましたが平気でした。
家族の方は30ドルの写真を頼んでいましたが、私達は新婚さんと写真を取り合って、後でメールで交換しましょうという事にしました。

Previously, I had an experience with Navatek's sunset cruise, and I didn't find it particularly special, so I hadn't planned to include a sunset cruise this time. However, I made a reservation because the price was low, it departed from Waikiki Beach, and it was my wife's first time in Hawaii.

The meeting point at the beach was just a few minutes from our hotel, which was convenient. Before 5:30 PM, I took off my sandals and boarded barefoot. I found a seat, and the crew started cheering as we set off. Occasionally splashed by the waves, we headed out while enjoying the view of the hotels lining the coastline, making our way past Diamond Head.

Along the way, we enjoyed drinks like Mai Tais and beer while feeling the wind all around us. The drinks were free and unlimited. I thought the Mai Tai might not have had alcohol in it because I didn't feel drunk at all, even after having several.

When the sails were raised and the engine was turned off, the only sounds were the waves cutting through the water and the wind. Standing on the side of the boat, I could see the passing scenery and feel the waves right at my feet, which was completely different from going on a large cruise ship and was truly enjoyable.

That day, there were many clouds, so we couldn't see a beautiful sunset. Perhaps because of that, we returned to the beach before sunset, which was a bit disappointing. We returned at 7 PM instead of the scheduled 7:30 PM. Since it was Friday, we stayed to watch the fireworks from Hilton, and it was nice that we secured a good spot, so an early return was actually beneficial.

The price was reasonable, and I would recommend it as long as the weather is good.

以前、ナバテックのサンセットクルーズの経験があり、そんなに特別な印象がなかったので今回当初の予定ではサンセットクルーズは入ってなかったのですが、料金が安いこと、ワイキキビーチから出ること、妻がハワイが初めてだったことで予約しました。
集合場所のビーチがホテルから数分だったので便利でした。
17時半前にサンダルを脱いで裸足で乗り込みました。適当に座り、船のクルーが雄たけびを上げ出発。
たまに波のしぶきを浴びながら沖に出て、海岸線に並ぶホテルを見ながらダイアモンドヘッドの更に先まで向かいます。
途中でマイタイやビールなどのドリンクを飲みながら風を全身に浴びて船は進みます。
ドリンクもフリーで飲み放題。マイタイはアルコールが入ってなかったんじゃないかと思うほど飲んでも全く酔わなかった。

帆を上げ、エンジンを切って風で進むと聞こえるのは波を切る音と風の音だけ。船のサイドに立ち、流れていく風景を見ながらすぐ足元に波を感じることができるのは大きなクルーズ船で行くのとは全く違い本当に気持ちが良い。

当日は雲が多く綺麗なサンセットは観れなかった。そのせいか日の入り前にビーチに戻ってしまった。そこが少し残念だった。予定の19時半ではなく19時だった。
金曜日だったのでヒルトンから上がる花火を見るために、そのまま宿泊していたリーフのビーチまで戻った。良い場所を確保できたので早目の帰港で良かったかな。

値段もリーズナブルだし、天気さえ良ければおススメです。

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.
