Hans Hedemann Waikiki Surfing Lessons - Honolulu's Best Surf School

A fantastic time!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was an intense, 2-hour surf lesson that I absolutely loved! The weather was perfect, and catching waves right in front of Diamond Head was amazing.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but the group lesson gave you a short intro into surfing and then helped you to ride the waves for the rest of the time. We spent a good amount of time (enough to exhaust me) in the water, with detailed instruction for each of the instructors. I was a bit worried when I got there with the amount of people, as I wasn't sure how it was going to work out, but the staff at Hans Hedemann made this a supa way to spend a Saturday morning.

Huge thanks go out to the surf instructors of the day, so thank you to Shawn, Easton, and Zara for keeping our huge group going for the full 2 hours, you guys were fantastic! A great time that i highly recommend to anyone and everyone visiting Waikiki!

サンセットセーリング スピリット・オブ・アロハ号 軽食&アルコール2杯付き&ソフトドリンク飲み放題<ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発>

Romantic Sunset ロマンティック☆サンセット

Reviewed by: chachachako

We participated as a couple. On this day, besides us, there was an Italian family and two American couples.

One of the crew members, who could speak Japanese, talked to us. They had lived in Japan and knew a lot about the area where we live, so we had a fun conversation mixing English and Japanese, which is a nice memory.

Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and we could only see a little bit of the sunset through the gaps. It was a bit disappointing, but seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was lovely.

Since it was a small boat, it rocked quite a bit. We didn't take any motion sickness medication, but I was concerned about getting seasick and didn't feel like eating or drinking much. However, the foreigners were drinking and eating a lot. If you're worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication.

Also, while the wind feels nice, it might be a bit cold for women. I think it would be good to have something to cover up with.

夫婦で参加しました。
この日は私達以外に、イタリア人家族と二組のアメリカ人夫婦が参加されていました。

クルーで、日本語を話せる方が話しかけてくれたのですが、
日本に住まれていたとかで(私達が住んでいる所も詳しくて)
英語日本語混ぜながら、楽しく会話出来たのも良い思い出です。

あいにくの曇り空でサンセットは隙間から少し見えたくらい。
ちょっと残念でしたが、沖からみるワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも素敵でした~

小型の船なので、結構揺れます。
私達は酔い止め飲まなかったのですが、船酔いが気になって
あまり飲食する気になれず…。
外国の方は、ガンガンお酒飲んで食べまくってましたけど。
不安な方は、酔い止め飲んでおかれた方がよいかも。

あと、風が気持ち良いですが、女性には少し寒いかも。
羽織るもの、あるとよいと思います。

アトランティス潜水艦ツアー ハワイの海底30mを進む海中アドベンチャー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ発/日本語ナレーション(要事前ダウンロード)>

It was surprisingly interesting. 意外と面白かった

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be quite an interesting experience. The pier was bright white and stood out beautifully against the blue sea. From here, we took a boat out to board the submarine, and that was quite enjoyable. Perhaps because of the strong winds, the boat was rocking so much that I could hardly stand without holding on to something. You can also see the submarine rising and sinking from the boat! The view from the submarine was decent, but it was fun as an attraction! My elderly grandmother also enjoyed it.

あまり期待していなかったのですが、なかなか面白い体験でした。
桟橋が真っ白で青い海に映えて、とてもきれいでした。ここから潜水艦に乗り込むために船で沖に出るのですが、これが結構楽しめました。風が強かったせいか、ゆれがものすごくて何かにつかまっていないと立っていられないほどでした。船からは潜水艦が浮き出る様子や沈んでいく様子も見ることができます!
潜水艦からの景色はそこそこですが、アトラクションとしては楽しかったです!高齢の祖母も喜んでくれました。

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>

I participated in my honeymoon trip. 新婚旅行で参加。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated at my husband's request. It was our first experience. The staff member was kind and communicated in broken Japanese. The driver only spoke English. All the other guests were foreigners, which felt a bit isolating...

We had a nearly 10-minute aerial walk per group. However, since we were last in line, I started to feel sick and ended up throwing up at the peak. I had taken motion sickness medication beforehand. The summit was quite high and it swayed a lot. Before returning to the boat, we jumped into the sea.

I purchased an SD card with data for $30, which I paid for later at the office.

It was fun, but I might be a bit tired. Please make sure to take care of your health before participating!

旦那様の希望で参加しました。ふたりとも初体験。スタッフのお兄さんは、カタコトの日本語で親切に対応してくれました。送迎の運転手さんは英語のみです。参加していたお客さんも、みんな外国人でした。ちょっと孤立…
一組あたり10分弱の空中散歩。でも、順番が一番最後だったので気分が悪くなって、なんと頂点でゲ○を吐いてしまいました。酔い止め飲んでおいたんですけどね。頂上はかなり高く、かなり揺れました。船に戻る前に、海の中へドボン。
30ドルでデータの入ったSDカードを購入。これは後で事務所で支払いました。

Classic rides~♪ 定番乗り物~♪

Reviewed by: やす~!

When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね!
現地スタッフ(チケット引き換え所)のおじいちゃん?も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり!乗らなきゃ損です。
停車中には写真も取ってくれます♪

I got to meet a sea turtle. ウミガメに会えた

Reviewed by: じゃがポックル

As the reviews mentioned, it was difficult to find the reception area. While I was looking for a blue beach umbrella, it turned out to be a brown palm umbrella. Once I got out to the sea, the waves were bigger than I expected, making it fun like surfing. You get quite wet, so it's a good idea to bring a towel or something. I heard that if you're lucky, you can see dolphins and sea turtles; unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins, but I did see a swimming sea turtle. The cocktail made with dark rum and peach juice was a generous portion; the first one was $8, and refills were $3, if I remember correctly. It was very easy to drink and delicious!

クチコミ通り、受付の場所は見つけにくかったです。
青いビーチパラソルを探してたら、今は茶色いシュロのパラソルでした。
沖へ出ると、思ってた以上に波が大きくて波乗りしてるみたいで楽しいです。
盛大に濡れますのでタオルなど持っていった方がいいですね。
運が良ければイルカやウミガメが見れるとの事で、残念ながらイルカには会えなかったのですが、泳いでいるウミガメは見れました。
ダークラムをピーチジュースで割ったカクテルはたっぷりの量で最初の1杯は8ドル、おかわりは3ドルって言ってたと思います。とても飲みやすくて美味しかった!

Waikiki Stand Up Paddleboard Lesson & Guided Tour at Ala Moana Beach Park

Stand Up Paddle Boarding & Surfing

Reviewed by: Shawn

I had a stand up paddle board lesson with Alison on 5/31. She brought along the correct sized board for me, something the rental places at Waikiki did not, and we had a great time. After a couple of minutes of getting used to the balance, I was off and running....err...paddling that is. It was a beautiful day, before and after the rain squall, and we saw numerous sea turtles swimming by us. Alison was fun, friendly, and easy to talk to and was an excellent instructor. I had the lesson my first day in Hawaii and it was so much fun, I did it every day I was there.

The second day I had a regular surfing lession with (Mollie, Matty? something like that, I forget now. But it was great fun also, I caught a few nice waves and she was really helpful....another great instructor. The learning curve for surfing is quite a bit higher than SUP, but I enjoyed it so much I'm taking another surfing lession this Sunday in cold water (wet suit) here in Washington state.

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>

It was amazing! 最高でした―――!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

First of all, I thought there wouldn't be any staff who could speak Japanese, but maybe we just got lucky? A local male staff member explained everything to us in Japanese with great effort. The shuttle bus only spoke English, but we didn't feel any inconvenience and had a great time♪

First, we went out to sea at quite a speed, and we were launched to a height higher than we imagined (laughs), so if you're worried, I recommend taking motion sickness medication♪

The staff on board will take photos for you, but it costs $30. You'll receive an SD card when you get off the boat, and you can pay inside the building next to the dock. We weren't quite sure where to pay (laughs), but a Chinese participant helped us, and we just followed everyone else (laughs). I definitely recommend getting your photos taken! (≧ω≦)b

Towards the end, there’s a moment when your lower body gets submerged in the water, and around that time, the staff asks from the boat, "Mizu Japon, okay!?" So, if you don't want to get wet, you won't be forced into the water. I was impressed by this consideration♪ (Of course, we shouted "Okay!" (laughs))

It was thrilling, and the opportunity to see the Hawaiian scenery from such a high position is rare, so I'm really glad I participated―――――!

By the way, the image is from our angle. The boat looks so small from that height (laughs), but it was surprisingly stable and felt great!!

まず、日本語が通じるスタッフがいないと思っていたのですが、私たちの時が偶然だったのかな?現地の男性スタッフが、一生懸命日本語で説明してくれました。送迎バスの方は英語のみでしたが、何ら不便を感じることもなく、楽しめましたよ♪

まず、けっこうなスピードで沖へ行くのと、想像以上に高い位置まで飛ばされるので(笑)心配な方は酔い止めを♪

同乗したスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれるのですが、30ドルで、船を降りる時にSDカードを渡され、船着き場横の建物内でお会計。といった感じです。
私たちはいまいち会計場所がわかりませんでしたがw一緒に参加した中国の方に教えて頂いたのと、あとは皆について行けばいいだけです(笑)
写真は是非!撮ってもらうことをオススメします(≧ω≦)b

そして飛ばされながら終盤、お水に下半身が浸かる瞬間があるんですが、終盤頃になるとスタッフさんが「ミズ ジャポン オーケー!?」ってかんじで船から問いかけてくれて、水に浸かりたくない方が、無理に水中へ引き込まれることはないです♪この気遣いは感心しました♪
(私たちはもちろん「オーケー!」と叫びましたがw)

スリルもあり、あんなに高い位置からハワイの景色を一望できる機会なんてそうそうないので、参加して本当に良かった―――――!と思います!!

ちなみに画像は私たちアングルです。あの位船が小さく見えるほど高く上がります(笑)しかし想像以上に安定感があり、気持ち良いですよ!!

Great experience! いい経験!

Reviewed by: りき

My father wanted to go, so my father, sister, and I participated together. The canoe could hold five or six people, but perhaps because it was early in the morning, we were the only participants, so two staff members joined us. After just a brief lesson on how to hold the paddle and how to row, we set off into the sea. We all paddled out to the open water and waited for the waves. The staff would let us know when a good wave was coming, and when we started paddling at their signal, we were able to ride the waves successfully. The canoe moved forward with great momentum, and surprisingly, we picked up quite a bit of speed, so we got pretty wet from the splashes (laughs). We rode the waves twice before finishing. They also took photos for us, and including that, it was about $30 per person, but I thought I would have been satisfied if we could have ridden the waves three times. Overall, I can say it was "fun!" and since it's an experience you can't really have elsewhere, I highly recommend it!

父が乗りたい!ということで父・姉・私の3人で参加しました。
カヌーは5、6人乗りでしたが、朝早かったためか参加者は私たち家族だけだったので、2人のスタッフが一緒に乗ってくれました。
パドルの持ち方と漕ぎ方をちょっと教わっただけですぐ海へ出発。沖まで全員で漕いで行き、波を待ちます。いい波がきたことをスタッフが教えてくれるので、その合図で漕ぎだすとうまく波に乗ることができました。カヌーは勢いよく進み、意外にスピードが出ていたので水しぶきがすごく、結構濡れました(笑)
波に2回乗って終了。写真も撮ってくれていてそれを含め、1人30ドルくらいでしたが、できれば3回波に乗れれば満足かなーと思いました。ただやはり感想としては「楽しかった!」し、あまり他では経験できないのでおススメです!

Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tour with Reserved Tickets & Shuttle from Waikiki

Finally hiked Makapu'u!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.

As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!

As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.

All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

The day I participated, it was very windy, so we traveled by boat to the area with the submarine. If you get seasick, be sure to take medication! Once we dove, there was no movement at all, and it was super exciting and thrilling. Luckily, we were able to see turtles and sharks too! The scenery was amazing! The pier where the boat departs and the views during the trip were also fantastic, especially since the weather was great.

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>

Surprisingly easy. 意外とカンタン

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Standing on a board on the water seemed absolutely impossible to me... or so I thought, but surprisingly, I managed to do it. When the wind blows, I become the sail myself... So, during strong winds, if I just stand there, I'll get swept away... In those moments, I sit down to avoid it.

After a simple explanation, I was pulled into the sea and before I knew it, I was standing on the board. Moreover, while sitting, I found myself riding the waves. When I paddle while riding the waves, I can change direction... I see now... This is how everyone gets hooked on this sport...

Feeling refreshed and gliding smoothly, I spotted a sea turtle within reach... What a lucky moment! And when I saw an old man standing on his board making a phone call out in the ocean, I felt like I had witnessed something just as precious as the sea turtle, and it excited me.

The convenience of being able to leave my hotel in Waikiki in my swimsuit and return in the same attire is the biggest charm. The CD I received has become a cherished memory, more valuable than any souvenir.

水の上のボードに立つなんて、絶対に無理!。。。と思っていたけど、意外といける。。。
風が吹くと立っている自分自身がセイルになるのだとか。。。だから、強風の時はぼ~~っと突っ立ってると流される。。。そんな時は座って回避。

カンタンな説明のあと引っ張られるままに海に入り、いつのまにかボードの上に立っていた。おまけに座ってだけど、いつの間にか波に乗っていた。波に乗りながらパドルを水に刺すと方向が変わる。。な~るほど。。。
こうやって皆このスポーツにハマっていくんだ。。。

気分爽快でスイスイ進んでいると手が届くかと思う距離にウミガメが。。。なんとラッキー
そして、沖でボードに立って電話をかけてたじいさんを見たとき、ウミガメと同じくらい貴重なものを見た気がしてワクワクした。

ワイキキのホテルから水着ででかけ、水着で帰ってこれるという手軽さが何より魅力。いただいたCDもお土産よりも大切な思い出になった。

I am satisfied. 満足です

Reviewed by: マサト

I think it's easy to understand because they teach in both English and Japanese. The area where you surf has a lot of rocks, so you need to be careful when you fall off the board. The instructor shows videos to explain how to fall safely.

The people I took the lesson with were a foreign couple, a group, and two children. Everyone was riding the waves. Paddling is really tiring, but I was happy to surf in Hawaii. Also, a long-sleeved rash guard is better to avoid chafing. They provided rash guards and surf shoes for us. You can also buy photos they take, which are available for a fee. Everyone was very friendly, and it was a lot of fun, truly Hawaiian!

英語及び日本語で教えてくれるので、わかりやすいかなと思います。サーフィンをする場所の下は岩がたくさんあるところなので、ボードから落ちるときに注意が必要です。先生から落ち方は映像を見せて説明してくれます。
私が一緒にレッスンを受けた人は外国人のカップルとグループ及び子供2人でした。
みんな波に乗ってましたよ。パドリングはとにかく非常に疲れますが、ハワイでサーフィンでき嬉しかったです。あと、ラッシュガードは長袖の方が擦れなくていいです。ラッシュガードとサーフシューズは貸してくれました。写真も有料ですが撮ってくれたものを買えます。とてもフレンドリーだしハワイらしくすごく楽しかったです。

I saw a sea turtle!! ウミガメ見られました!!

Reviewed by: haduki

Looking out at the sea from the submarine feels quite similar to an aquarium, but there's a sense of freedom with the fish swimming in various directions, and the excitement of not knowing what creatures you might see. I think it's definitely enjoyable. When I participated, I was able to see sharks and the sight of sea turtles swimming (though they usually tend to stay still). I do wish the travel time and the time for boarding and disembarking from the submarine were a bit shorter, but there's not much that can be done about that. I think it's best to join the experience with a relaxed mindset, enjoying the cruising as well.

潜水艦の窓から海を見た感じは水族館とあまり変わらない気もしますが、魚の泳ぐ方向が一定でなく自由な感じだったり、どんな生き物が見られるかわからないワクワク感があったり、十分楽しめると思います。
私が参加したときは、サメが見られたり、ウミガメが泳ぐ姿が見られたり(普段はじっとしていることが多いそうですが)しました。
あとはもう少し移動時間や潜水艦への乗降時間が短いといいな、と思いますが、こればっかりは仕方ないですね。クルージングも楽しむつもりでのんびり参加すればいいと思います。

This is my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I've always wanted to ride on this catamaran but couldn't participate because it was fully booked. I finally got to join this time.

The high demand is likely due to the cost and the fact that it's a two-and-a-half-hour tour, making it accessible even for those not staying for a long period.

Even if you don't understand English at all, you can kind of figure things out! For example, you learn not to sit in the blue areas, to sit on the net when departing, and how to order drinks... I understood most of it.

I'm just mimicking what the foreigners do, but anyway, it's a lot of fun. It really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii! The captain, who looked like a pirate, and the crew were quite friendly and cool. My wife also got to take a picture with them.

参加希望の多さは、コスト的なこともそうですが、約2時間半のツアーであることもその理由かと思います。長期間の滞在でなくとも参加できます。
英語が全く分からなくとも、なんとなく解かってしまいますね!青色の場所には座らないでとか、出航の時には網の上に座ってくれとか、飲み物の注文は、・・・・大体わかりました。
外人の見よう見まねなのですが・・・
とにかく楽しめます。ハワイに来たのだと自分に確認させることができますよ!
海賊みたいな図体の艇長さんと乗組員は、結構親切で恰好よかったです。わが女房も一緒に写真に撮ってもらいました。

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open-Bar

On time??

Reviewed by: Robin

The instructions and directions to the location where we could park was not specific for those of us who had never been in the area before (we paid $26 to park). Our emailed confirmation told us to check in at 6:45pm and the catamaran would set sail at 7pm. Our group was first to arrive with plenty of time for checking in. Our catamaran did not arrive to pick us up until 7:15pm and it took another 10 minutes after that to get us all checked in to board. Once onboard, we realized the mai tais were weak so we drank beer instead. This was a very slow-paced cruise. We would like to come back but are more likely to experience a different catamaran cruise than this one.

伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「ワイキキ・スターライト・ルアウ」フラ&ファイヤーダンスの本格ディナーショー <ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ>

The dancers are wonderful. ダンサーは素晴らしい

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The performance was wonderful. Since I chose the premium seats, I was able to enjoy it well, and I could eat at the buffet without waiting. However... I felt like something was missing, and upon reflection, it was that I couldn't participate, just watching. When I came to Hawaii before, during the sunset cruise, there was dancing right in front of me, and jumping in to participate was so much fun.

パフォーマンスは素晴らしかったです。プレミアムシートにしたのでよく鑑賞できたしビュッフェも待たされずに食べることができました。でも。。。何か物足りない感じがして、よく考えたら観ているだけで参加できなかったことだと。以前ハワイに来たとき、サンセット・クルーズでは目の前でのダンスがあり、飛び入り参加がとても楽しかったので。

Thank you for joining us at the Starlight Luau. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the show. This tour is more of a performance to be watched rather than an interactive experience, so it may have differed slightly from your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you again.

この度は、スターライト・ルアウにお越しいただきありがとうございます。ショーをお楽しみいただき大変嬉しく思っております。こちらのツアーは参加型というよりはパフォーマンスを鑑賞していただくルアウショーとなりますため、ご期待とは少し異なった印象となってしまったのかと存じます。またのお越しをお待いたしております。

Under the night sky☆ 夜空の下で☆

First of all, even though the meeting place was our hotel, it took a while for the guide to be identified. It seems that the dancer who was performing was the guide. We saw other tourists talking to that dancer and being taken somewhere, so we decided to try asking them too, and we were able to arrive safely.

Then, there was a long line to the venue, and it took a lot of time before we could take our seats. Since we had reserved Golden Circle seats, we sat in the front row, and those in the Golden Circle were prioritized for food, so we could start eating quickly. However, those in the regular seats seemed to go for food more than 30 minutes later, so I definitely recommend reserving Golden Circle seats.

Also, when ordering beer, it seems that Japanese people are often perceived as looking younger, so they checked our age. In our case, they didn't ask for a passport, but if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring an ID that shows your age.

The show featured dancers changing outfits one after another, and we got to see various dances. Personally, I found the solo dance of a little girl to be incredibly cute!

まず、集合場所が自分たちの宿泊ホテルだったにも関わらず、案内人が判明するまで時間がかかりました(A;´・ω・)
ダンスパフォーマンスをしていたダンサーさんが案内人だったみたいですw
他の観光客らしき人たちが、そのダンサーさんに声をかけてどこかに連れて行かれるのを見て、試しに声をかけると、私たちも無事、到着できた感じです。

そして会場まで長蛇の列で、席につくまでとても時間がかかりました。
ゴールデンサークル席を予約していたので、一番前の席に座り、ゴールデンは食事を取りに行くのも優先なので、早く食べ始めることができましたが、普通席の方々は30分以上も後に食事を取りに行くかんじなので、ぜひゴールデンサークル席を予約されることをお勧めします☆

あとはビール注文時に、やはり日本人は若く見られるらしく年齢を確認されたので(20代後半の私)、私たちの場合はパスポート提示までは求められませんでしたが、心配な方は年齢がわかる身分証を持って行かれたほうが良いかと思います。

ショーはダンサーさん達が次から次へと着替え、色々なダンスを見ることができました☆
個人的に小さな女の子のソロダンスが可愛くて仕方なかったです+.(o´∀`o).+
