Aha Aina Royal Hawaiian Luau - Waikiki Oceanfront Luau Dinner Show

Luau

Reviewed by: Cynthia

Expected a spectacular show with lots of fire and dance. It rained right before the start of the show so it had to be moved inside. Not your fault, but completely deflated the mood. I would rather of been refunded. Too expensive of a ticket to be moved indoors and be satisfied. Very disappointed in the show. Not what we expected.

Dear Cynthia,

Thank you for sharing your experience at our Aha Aina Luau in The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort. We are disappointed to learn that our show was moved into our Monarch Room due to the unpleasant weather and we sincerely apologize for the underwhelming experience. We will share your feedback with our team to elevate the experience. Thank you for your valued feedback and we hope to welcome you back someday to an outdoor Royal Celebration. Warmest aloha.

Hawaiian Parasailing Tour & Adventure from Waikiki Beach [800ft & 1000ft Lines]

Exciting Activity

Reviewed by: Helen Wu

This is my first time doing parasailing with a fear of height, so it is almost like a mission impossible, therefore, I chose the lowest height which is 300 feet. it turned out it was not scary at all, I thought i would felt uncomfortable when they lifted us up from the boat, but I didn't. it was very stable when we were up to the sky flying. When we came back, it was not like we were dropped to the water, we landed back on the boat. So for those who thought you would be dropped into water, that is not going to happen. So try this one, I recommend it to anyone who would like a great view of waikiki beach in the sky.

Reviewed by: マッコロ

I participated in the buffet dinner and show plan with my mother! Since this was not my first time in Hawaii, I thought the usual hula show would be boring, so we joined this tour! The dinner was on the 4th floor of the Hawaiian Center (outdoors) and had a homey feel! All the explanations were in English (including the show). If you're tired of the usual hula shows, it might be worth participating in this one! The show is also interesting!

First parasailing 初パラセイリング

Reviewed by: yukiko

My first time paragliding. When I participated, it was just the two of us and a pair of Australian women, so there was no waiting time and everything went very smoothly. I was a bit anxious since it was a tour where Japanese wasn't spoken, but the staff and other guests were very friendly, so I had no difficulties. I chose the highest option for paragliding. There was no fear, it felt great, and I had a wonderful time.

人生初のパラセイリング。わたしが参加したときはオーストラリア女性2人組とわたしたちだけだったので、待ち時間もなくとてもスムーズでした。日本語が通じないツアーなので少し不安でしたが、係りの方たちもほかのお客さんもとてもフレンドリーで不自由はありませんでした。パラセイリングは一番高く上がるものにしました。怖さはなく気持ち良くて、素敵なひとときが過ごせました。

ワイキキビーチ SUP 1時間プライベートレッスン <ロイヤルハワイアンホテル>

Even beginners can enjoy surfing! 初心者でも楽しく波乗り出来ました!

Reviewed by: Nori

The instructor watches all the timing for catching the waves, so even complete beginners like us were able to ride easily and have fun. A separate photographer was there to capture us while we were riding the waves. It was great to receive a ROM at the end to keep a record of the experience. The actual surfing time was just under an hour, which I think was just right in terms of physical exertion! I recommend going early in the morning as the beach is less crowded then.

インストラクターの方が波に乗るタイミングを全部見てくれるので、全くの初心者の私たちでも簡単に、楽しく乗ることが出来ました。
カメラマンの方が別で付いていて波に乗れている所を撮影してくれています。最後にROMをもらえるので記録に残すこと出来て良かったです。
実質サーフィンの時間は一時間弱ですが、体力的にちょうど良かったと思います!
朝早い時間の方がビーチが空いてるそうなのでオススメです。

I made a reservation for about 10 people from Japan at the recommendation of a friend. I was a bit anxious about finding the boarding area, but once we got to Waikiki Beach, it was easy to locate, and we set sail about 30 minutes after gathering! Since it was a yacht, it felt amazing, and everyone was very satisfied! The captain and crew were friendly and cool, which really boosted our spirits (laughs). I highly recommend it for anyone who isn't particularly sensitive to motion; it's truly affordable and enjoyable!

I participated with a friend. It was a yacht with little rocking and no engine noise, so we really enjoyed the cruising experience.

Inside the boat, Mai Tais were sold for $5, and we had a great time drinking while enjoying the atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

It's fun, but... 楽しいけど、

Reviewed by: みみみ

The boat ride was extremely bumpy, and I got quite seasick. It was fun, but motion sickness medication is a must.

Also, if the service is good, I usually leave a tip on the way out, but I’ve noticed people conspicuously leaving $20 or $30 bills. Japanese people tend to feel obligated to leave a similar amount, but it’s not necessary to pay that much. A tip of around $2 to $3 is more than enough. Be careful not to feel pressured to tip excessively.

めちゃくちゃ船の運転が荒く、かなり船酔いしました。楽しかったですが、酔い止め必須です。
また、サービスがよければ帰り際にチップを置いていきますが、これ見よがしに20や30ドル札を置いています。日本人は気を遣って同じくらい置いてしまいますが、そんなに払う必要なし。せいぜい2~3程度で十分です。気を遣わないように注意。

This was my second time attending Hawaiian Parasail in Honolulu and it wasn't as good as the first time. Everything was great as far as the actual para-sailing goes. Honestly, it felt rushed and not as excited for them to have a family of 8 for our trip. We did tip them and we don't regret it but I do wish that it felt more welcoming than it did.

Sailing in Hawaii ハワイでセイリング

Reviewed by: 佐竹 道郎

I was filled with anxiety and excitement until I went sailing. I even thought about not going until the previous group sailed. However, seeing how much fun they were having made me decide to take on the challenge of sailing. My anxiety disappeared as I soared into the sky, and looking down at the ocean felt refreshing and uplifting. I am eager to challenge myself again, and next time, I want to aim even higher.

 セイリングするまで不安やらわくわく期待感でいっぱいでした。前の組がセイリングするまではやめようかと思ったくらいです。ところが前の組が余りにも楽しそうだったので決心しセイリングに挑みました。空に舞い上がるほどに不安感はとれ、海原を見下ろすと気持ちが良く爽快でした。また挑戦したい気持ちでいっぱいです。今度はより高く挑戦したいものです。

Hawaiian Paragliding in the Sky 空に舞う・ハワイアンパラセイリング

Reviewed by: 佐竹 道郎

Sailing on the boat, it was the second sailing of four groups. Watching the previous group's sailing, I felt smaller and smaller, almost like I was floating in the sky, and my feelings shifted more towards anxiety than excitement. When the time came, I made up my mind and went sailing. Looking back, there’s nothing more thrilling and enjoyable than this. If I ever come back to Hawaii, this is the first experience I want to have again.

 船に揺られてセイリング現場まで、4組のうち2番目のセイリング。前の組のセイリングを見ていると、空に舞うほどに小さくなり期待より不安のほうが気持ちを占めるようになり、いざというとき決心しセイリング。終わってみてこんなに興奮、楽しいものは無い。ハワイにまた来るようなことがあれば真っ先にまた経験したい。

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

I had the best experience! 最高の経験をさせていただきました!

Reviewed by: SUNAPLE

First of all, no one in our family speaks English. I can only convey about 20% of what I want to say (laughs).

Even with an English guide, we were particularly fine. As long as we didn't engage in any reckless behavior, there was no danger aside from natural disasters.

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, a sea turtle appeared right away. Just being able to see it from the boat made me 80% satisfied, but I was also able to see it up close underwater.

The moment it came up for air was just a brief instant, so even if I spotted it from a distance, I wouldn't have made it in time. But it happened to come up nearby, and I hurried over. It was an emotional moment.

We foolishly brought our 2-year-old, 4-year-old, and 6-year-old with us, but the guides were always there to lend a hand when the kids came up, helping them back onto the boat and checking if they were okay.

The kids quickly got back on the boat, leaving dad as the babysitter.

I wanted to see the turtle one more time, but as everyone started to get out, it felt like it was coming to an end, so I decided to get back on the boat. I happened to tell the guide who was in the water, in broken English, "I wanted to swim with the turtle..." and he said, "Come on!" He was inviting me to come over to see it.

In that moment, I decided to forget about dad and the kids on the boat and hurried to follow him. He was clearly experienced and found a turtle on the ocean floor. But when I looked, it looked more like a rock than a turtle. Then he offered to lend me his camera. When I handed it over, he took pictures of the turtle on the ocean floor. (When I saw them later, they were really great photos!!)

Just as we were about to head back to the boat, another turtle appeared right in front of us! I had heard that touching them would incur a fine, but due to the waves, I almost touched it. To be able to see it at such a close distance was amazing! I was so thrilled.

Thanks to the guide's actions, we had the best experience. I am truly grateful.

For tips, there was a huge transparent bottle on the boat where we were supposed to put them, but I wanted to give him a personal tip. However, since there was a container for tips, even if I just handed him cash, I would still have to put some in the bottle, so I hesitated about giving him a partial amount... (this is where I felt like a typical unsure Japanese person...) In the end, I just put it in the bottle. I might have been better off giving him $10 or $20...

Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

最初に、我が家は誰も英語が話せません。しいていえば私が言いたいことの20%ぐらいを伝えられる、という程度(笑)

英語のガイドですが、そんな我が家でも特に大丈夫でした。自然災害以外は、逸脱した行為をしなければ危険もありませんので。

シュノーケリングポイントについたとき、すぐに海亀が現れました。船上から見ることができて、もうそれだけで80%満足した私ですが、なんと水中から間近に見ることもできました。

息継ぎにあがってくるのはほんの一瞬なので、遠くに発見しても泳いでも間に合いません。でもたまたま近くに上がってきて、急いで近寄りました。感動でした。

我が家は無謀にも2歳、4歳、6歳を連れての参加だったのですが、どの子があがるときにもガイドさんたちが手を差し伸べてくれて船に上げてくれたり、大丈夫か声をかけてくれたり。

子どもたちはすぐにあがってしまい、子守役にパパが船上に。

私はもう一度ぐらい亀に会いたいなぁと思いましたが、だんだんみんなが上がってしまって、もう終わりという雰囲気になったので、船上に上がろうとしました。たまたま海中にいたガイドさんに「亀と泳ぎたかったぁ・・・」と片言の英語で言ったら「カモーン!」と。見せてあげるからおいで、というのです。

もうその瞬間に船上にいるパパと子どもたちは忘れることにして、慌ててついていきました。さすがに慣れていて、海底にいる海亀を発見するのです。でも私が見ても亀というより岩。するとカメラを貸してごらんと。それで渡したら海底にいる亀を撮影してきてくれました。(あとで見たらすごく良い写真でした!!)

さて船に戻りましょう、というとき、たまたま目の前にまた亀が!!
触ったら罰金だと聞いていましたが、波のせいで触れてしまいそうでした。そんな距離で会えるなんて!!大感激しました。

ガイドさんの行為のおかげで、最高の体験ができました。本当に感謝です。

チップは船上にある透明の巨大なペットボトルみたいなものに入れるのですが、なんとなく彼には個人的にチップをはずませて差し上げたくて、でもチップの入れ物はあるし、彼にだけ渡してしまうにしても、そっちの容器にも入れるから全額渡すわけにもいかないし、でも中途半端な金額渡すのって変だし・・・と悩んでしまい(このへんが慣れない日本人ぽい・・・)結局ボトルに入れるだけにしてしまいました。彼に10ドルでも20ドルでも渡せば良かったかも・・・。

素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました!!

ハワイでパラセーリング 高さ120m/150mの上空からワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの絶景を鑑賞!<ヒルトン・ワイキキ>

breathtaking view 絶景

Reviewed by: maro

It was my first time parasailing, and I thought I might be a little scared before doing it. However, once I tried it, I was so moved by the breathtaking views that I didn't feel scared at all. It's highly recommended because you can't see the city of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea (or the sky) like this. I was completely satisfied even at 90 meters. It might be okay for those with a fear of heights.

You can take photos with your own camera while flying, so I didn't purchase the optional photos. Just be careful if you tend to get motion sickness since it's a boat ride.

Also, it was very nice that the pick-up car arrived at the hotel on time, which is rare in Hawaii. The driver, Mr. Yano, who is of Japanese descent, was very engaging and talked a lot to keep the atmosphere lively. It was great that there were more foreign participants than Japanese, as it made me feel like I was truly abroad.

初めてのパラセイリングだったので、やるまではちょっと怖いのかなと思っていました。でも、やってみたら絶景に感動で、怖いとは一切感じませんでした。海から(空から)ワイキキの街やダイヤモンドヘッドはなかなか見れないのでお勧めです。
90メートルでも充分満足です。高所恐怖症の人でも大丈夫かも。
飛びながら持参したカメラで写真を撮ったりもできるので、オプションの写真は購入しませんでした。
ただ、ボートでの移動なので、乗り物酔いする人は気をつけてください。
また、ハワイにしては珍しく、ホテルへ遅れることなくお迎えの車が来た点は非常に良かったです。運転手の日系人ヤノさんも、たくさん話をして盛り上げてくれました。
日本人より外国人の参加が多かったのも、海外に来ている感じが味わえてよかったです。
