All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

This time, we used the trolley bus for my parents during our family trip. It was their second time in Hawaii, and they were very happy to finally ride the bus and enjoy it! Both of them got the senior discount, which was a good deal, but since they didn't ride it much over the four days, I thought it might have been better for me to pay the fare each time instead.

今回は、家族旅行にて父母の為にトロリーバスを利用しました。2回目のハワイで、ようやくバスにのり満喫できた！と大変喜んでいました。2人ともシニア料金でお得でしたが、1日でもあまり回数をならなく、4日間も乗らなかったので、私はその都度乗車料金を払うほうが…よかったかなと思いました。

This was a wonderful experience. The employees were courteous and friendly and hospitable. We saw whales and rocked out to good music while feasting our eyes on the gorgeous ocean and the sunset. The mai tai's were great. We want to go again.

First, you board a boat that takes you to the submarine anchored offshore. It sways quite a bit, and there are seats on the first and second floors. After we started moving, the staff provided guidance in English for the second floor. Since it was crowded, we moved to the second floor, which was both thrilling and a bit scary because of the intense swaying. When we finally reached the second floor, I felt a sense of joy.

When transferring to the submarine, it wasn't scary at all, and once on board, the swaying wasn't too bad, allowing us to enjoy observing the underwater scenery. However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it's definitely advisable to take medication.

I was expecting announcements in Japanese, but they were only in English and Chinese. There were headphones in front of the seats, and Japanese could be heard on channel 4. When I saw the pre-boarding instructions, it mentioned a Japanese explanation, but I ended up feeling disappointed.

まず最初に、沖に停泊している潜水艦まで行く船に乗せられるます。それがかなりの揺れで、一階席と二階席が有るのですが、二階席は走りだしてから係りの人が英語で案内します。
私たちは混んでいたので二階に移りましたが、それが怖いの怖くないの・・・　揺れ方が半端じゃないからスリルがあって二階にたどり着いた時は嬉しかったです。
潜水艦に乗り移るときは怖くないし、乗ってしまうと揺れも
そんなでもなく楽しく海の中を観察できました。
ただ、酔う人は薬は必ず飲んだ方が良いです。
館内の案内は日本語を期待したのに、英語と中国語のみ。
座席の前にヘッドホンがあり日本語は４チャンネルで聞けました。事前説明を見たときに日本語の説明と書いてありましたが
期待して損をしました。

Attended this hike as a family with small children (ages 4&7) and this was a perfect morning outing! The hike was paved and only a moderate incline, and the views along the way up and from the top are remarkable!

Unfortunately the tides were not perfect for the blowhole to really be going, but we did get to see some spray and the kids enjoyed it as well.

Overall, a very professionally run operation with great pickup and dropoff services. The hike was a nice way to get out and see other sights!

I was scared, but she was really happy, so I'm satisfied.

自分は恐かったが彼女はすごくよろこんでいたので満足です。

I went during the New Year. It was New Year's Day. It was the first tour of the morning. On the way, we were able to see whales. The boat circled around the area where the whales were, and I was excited as we kept following the whales. I was thrilled because I had hoped for whale watching rather than a submarine tour. The submarine was also fun with sharks, turtles, and colorful fish.

お正月に行ってきました。
元旦です。
朝一番のツアーでした。
行きにクジラを見ることができました。
船もクジラが居る付近をぐるりと輪を描くように回ってくれてズーっとクジラを追うような感じで興奮しました。
私は潜水艦よりクジラウォッチングを希望していたので感激でした。
潜水艦もサメ・カメ・魚色とりどり楽しかったです。

We had no idea what to do the last day of our vacation, I am so glad the staff at Hawaiiactivities.com mentioned "Well why don't you guys do some Parasailing!"... this activity totally reeked of AWESOMENESS!!

This was my wife's first time parasailing, she screamed, but she loved it!. We had a terriffic time! The crew was great and even let my wife drive the boat around the Waikiki Coastline.

I took my friends from California to this cruise. Their mai tai is delicious and they are all you can drink! The whole cruise is very relaxing and you get to enjoy the Honolulu coast. The timing is perfect as well.

Highly recommended!

Elvis shook my hand!!! LOL Well not the Real Elvis, but he was pretty close! The show was fun, full of energy and the entertainers were great! Rock~a~ Hula, Rock, Rock A hula, I can't get that song out of my head!

My date and I did the VIP Dinner, we had our own private stage side table, delicious drinks and a fancy gourmet dinner (why not splurge a little since your in Hawaii). The theater is real nice and quite impressive, I would recommend bringing a sweater or a jacket because it does get cold.

Where else can you see the Young Skinny Elvis, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Old Chubby Elvis and Hula Dancers all in one place!! It was a good fun show, I would highly recommend to all my friends back on the Eastcoast!

We participated in a New Year's Eve luau show with a total of nine people, including my husband's parents and my family. It was a really lovely spot by the lagoon where we could see the sunset, which was different from our usual experiences.

The show's excitement captivated my one-year-old son, who even started dancing. My parents also moved closer to the stage and seemed to have a great time.

As for the buffet, it included traditional Hawaiian dishes and sushi rolls, making it easy for everyone from children to the elderly to enjoy. However, I wouldn't say the taste was extraordinary.

Unfortunately, the staff's efficiency wasn't very good, and we had to wait quite a while from gathering to getting to our dining seats, which was tough for my son.

Overall, I think it was a good experience since we were able to enjoy it as a family.

夫の両親、私の家族合計９名で大晦日のルアウショーに参加しました。普段とはちがいラグーンサイドでの、夕陽が見えるとっても素敵な場所でした。
ショーの迫力は1歳になる息子も興味しんしんで、踊りだすほど。私の両親もステージ近くまで移動し、相当楽しめた様子でした。
ブッフェの味と内容ですが、ハワイの伝統的な食事や海苔巻もあり、子供からお年寄りまで食べやすいものでした。お味は、感動的とまでは言えません。
ただ、スタッフの手際があまり良くなかったのか、集合から、食事の席までかなりの時間並び、息子には辛かったです。
総合的には、家族で楽しめたので良かったと思います。

It was great to see traditional Hawaiian dance easily near Honolulu. It was more impressive than I had imagined, and I was very satisfied.

ホノルルの近くでお手軽にハワイの伝統的な踊りがみれて大変良かったです。想像していたより見ごたえがあり満足しました。

I found out that a new show started in Waikiki, and I thought, "This is it!" so I decided to participate! The content exceeded my expectations!! I had a great time.

While it incorporates elements of Hawaii, the main focus is on dances other than hula, which is refreshing ✨ I think this American and exciting show would be great for those who are repeat visitors to Hawaii.

In this show, Elvis, Michael, Elton, and Lady Gaga made appearances. Each of them was a wonderful performer, and while watching the images projected on the big screen, I forgot they were impersonators and got completely absorbed in the performance♪ Michael's dance was fantastic! The costumes looked just like the real thing!

Since I’m in my twenties, I wasn’t very familiar with Elvis and Elton, but there were songs I recognized from dramas, so it didn’t matter, and I enjoyed it anyway!

The tropical drinks and cocktails named after the stars were also fun. I chose the Lady Gaga drink~♪

After the show, we took photos together as a memento. Everyone was very friendly and happily posed for pictures and signed autographs. I want to see it again!!!!

ワイキキで新しいショーが始まったと知り、これは！と思い参加してきました！
内容は期待以上！！とっても楽しむことができました。

ハワイの要素も盛り込んであるのですが、フラダンス以外のダンスがメインで新鮮✩
ハワイリピーターの方にはこんなアメリカンでエキサイティングなショーもいいと思います。

今回のショーではエルビス、マイケル、エルトン、レディーガガが登場しました。
どの方もすばらしいパフォーマーで大きなスクリーンに映し出される映像を見ていたら
彼らがそっくりさんだなんて忘れて聞き入っていました♪
マイケルのダンスがよかったです！衣装も本物そっくり！

２０代のため(～)エルビス、エルトンにはあまり親しみがなかったのですが、
ドラマで聞いたことある曲もあったりして、そんなことは関係なく楽しめましたよ！

トロピカルドリンクや、スターの名前にちなんだカクテルなども楽しい。
私はレディーガガのドリンクを選びました~♪

ショーのあとはみんなと写真撮影で記念にもなりました。
みなさんとてもフレンドリーで心よく写真撮影、サインに応じてくれます。
また見にいきたいです！！！！！

We participated for Green room and got front row seats.
The “stars” came off the stage and sang to me and shook my hand.
“Elvis” comes so close that you can lightly smell his perfume.

When they first come to the stage, you may think they are kind of chubby, but once they start to sing and dance, you will be amazed. It’s unbelievable that they are not lip singing.

The stage equipment and audio system is great. During the performance, there is a video on the screen that shows the real star singing. The “star” on stage and the star on the screen come in sync and you start to believe that the “star” on the stage is real.

Even though you don’t know the star, they will sing many popular songs old or new, so any generation can enjoy the performance.

After the show the stars will be at the lobby, and they will give you autograph and take a picture with you.
In my mind I believe that “Michael Jackson” was real to me so I got excited and screamed.

Once in a while I heard they

Since I participated in the green room, my seat was right in front of the stage. The stars came down from the stage to sing right in front of me and even shook hands. They came so close that I could faintly smell Elvis's cologne!

Even if I thought, "Wait? A bit chubby?" when they appeared, their singing, dancing, and even their talk and gestures were so realistic that I was completely drawn in. It's amazing that there was no lip-syncing!

The stage setup was quite elaborate, synchronizing with real footage, and combined with their singing skills, I gradually started to feel like I was watching the real thing.

Even for generations that don't know the originals, there are standard songs woven in, so I think everyone can enjoy it with a sense of recognition like, "Oh, I know this song!"

After the show, the stars casually responded to requests for autographs and photos at the exit. Since I was already feeling like I was with the real ones, when I took a photo with Michael, I couldn't help but let out a squeal of excitement!

It seems like there is a variety of cast members, so I definitely want to go again.

グリーンルームで参加したので席はステージまん前でした。スターたちがステージから降りてきて目の前で歌ってくれたり握手してくれます。エルビスの香水がほんのり香るほど、身近に来てくれます！

登場したときに「えっ？ぽっちゃり？」とか思っても、歌のうまさ、踊りのうまさ、トークやしぐさまで本物そっくりで、ぐんぐん惹きこまれます。口パクはいないというのがすごい！

ステージの装置もかなり凝っていて、本物の映像とシンクロしてきて、歌のうまさとの相乗効果で、次第に本物と錯覚してきました。

本物を知らない世代でもスタンダードな曲が織り込まれてるので「あ、この歌知ってる！」とどの世代にも楽しめると思います。

ショーの後、出口でスターたちが気軽にサインや写真撮影に応じてくれます。すでに見てるほうも本物と錯覚してるので、マイケルと写真を撮るときには「キャー」と黄色い声を上げてしまいました！

出演するキャストにバラエティがあるようなので、是非また行きたいです。

Well, the elderly couple said they enjoyed it.

まぁ~楽しめたと年寄り夫婦は言ってました。

Hawaiian traditional feast "LUAU."
This time, I participated on New Year's Eve.
The luau here is very accessible since it's located in Waikiki, so you can feel safe even without transportation.

Additionally, from the lagoon venue, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Last time, I attended another luau held in a location farther from Waikiki, but unlike that one, there were no attractions we could participate in (like lei making or games), and the setup was more about enjoying a buffet-style meal while watching the show.

In terms of experiencing a luau for the first time, I think this is a luau that you can enjoy easily with its accessibility and food.

I definitely recommend this activity for anyone visiting Hawaii!

ハワイ伝統の宴「LUAU」。
今回は大晦日の夜に参加しました。
ここのルアウは、ロケーションもワイキキ内なため、とても行きやすく送迎がなくても安心です。

また、会場であるラグーンからは、ちょうどサンセットが綺麗に見えます☆

前回はワイキキから離れた場所で開催されている、他のルアウに参加したのですが、そちらのように自分たちが参加できるアトラクション(レイメイキングやゲーム等)はなく、ショーを観ながらビュッフェスタイルの食事を楽しむ構成になっていました。

初めてのルアウを体験するという意味では、アクセスのし易さや食事等、気軽に楽しめるルアウだと思います。

是非ハワイを訪れた人には体験してもらいたいアクティビティです♪

Sunset and fireworks viewing! Friday only dinner cruise.

It's just the best.

The staff is friendly, and you can enjoy wine while watching the sunset, and at the end, there are fireworks!!

I especially recommend it for couples.

サンセットと花火を観賞！金曜日限定ディナークルーズ
とにかく最高です。

スタッフの方も気さくだし、夕日を見ながらワインを飲んで
最後には花火！！

特にカップルにお勧めですよ

This was a very exciting experience for our girls. We all loved every minute of it and the guys who took us were awesome.

I watched the show from the Premium Circle on New Year's Eve. The show was packed with content and very enjoyable. I think it was also great in terms of experiencing the local culture.

大晦日のプレミアムサークルでショー観覧しました。ショーは内容盛りだくさんでとても楽しかったです。現地の文化に触れるという意味でもとてもよかったと思います。

This surf lesson were so cool! The instructors were really good and help out a lot. It was so much fun!

I was really happy that everyone received a lei when we signed up for the premium seats.

The show featured powerful fire dancing by male dancers, and since we were in the front row, we could feel the heat from the flames.

It's enjoyable for everyone, from small children to grandparents!

Before the show started, the dancers even drew pictures with magic markers for the children who wanted to imitate their tattoos.

プレミアムシートで申し込みすると、全員にレイをかけてくれてとっても嬉しかったです。

ショーは男性のダンサーのファイヤーダンスが迫力満点で、前席だったので火の熱さが伝わってきました。

小さい子供からおじいちゃん・あばあちゃんまで楽しめましすよ！

ショーが始まる前に希望者の子供にはダンサーの方が直接、タトゥーを真似てマジックで好きな絵も描いてくれました。

The Hilton Hotel is very spacious, and I got quite lost trying to find the meeting place. I wish they had provided a clearer map or something similar.

The show itself was enjoyable, and the food was delicious. I chose the Golden Circle seats, and they guided us from those seats to the buffet, so I’m glad I opted for this seating. The people in other sections had to wait in long lines.

ヒルトンホテル内がとても広くて、集合場所が分からずかなり迷いました。もうすこし分かりやすく地図なども入れてくれればいいなと思いました。
ショー自体は楽しく、食事もおいしかったです。ゴールデンサークル席にしたのですが、ビュッフェ形式でこのゴールデンサークル席から案内してくれるのでこの席にしてよかったです。他の席の人たちはかなり並んでいました。

There were several similar shows, and I was a bit confused, but since it was in Waikiki, I chose this one! There were more participants than I expected, and it was a bit chilly since it was outdoors, but I really felt like I was in Hawaii!! I had a great time! I think it's worth seeing at least once! The hotel also had many shops, and I enjoyed shopping on the way back♪

同じようなショーがいくつかあって迷いましたが、ワイキキということで、このショーにしました！　思っていたよりも参加人数が多く、屋外の為少し寒い思いもしましたが、ハワイに来た！！という感じがして楽しい時間を過ごしました！１度は見ておいて損はないと思います！ホテルにはお店も沢山あり、帰りにはお買い物も楽しみました♪

The facilities and content were both great!

設備、内容ともに良かったです！

This was such an amazing activity to do in Hawaii!! This was my second trip in a matter of 8 months to hawaii and I was advised by friends to try this out and I was not disappointed!! The arrays of sea life and colours of the ocean and fish are so diverse! I loved it and would even go on it again when I go back to Hawaii in 2O12.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was one of the most fun experiences we've had here in Hawaii! We moved here this summer and when my parents told us they were coming to visit again, I knew we had to do something special. And this was it! We had 6 adults and 5 kids between the ages of 7 and 11. The kids stole the show - they danced the whole time! It did not matter that there was drinking going on - the kids had a blast! How could they not? And of course we joined them in the dancing when the music got pumped up. Starting out with

A must-see for Elvis fans! Even those from generations who don't know him can enjoy it to some extent (laughs). Unlike Japanese impersonations, it's incredibly authentic. The lookalikes of Michael and Gaga were also quite well-crafted.

エルビスファンなら必見！知らない世代の方もそれなりに楽しめます（笑）日本のモノマネと違って限りなく本物志向ですね。マイケルやガガなどのソックリさんもかなり作り込んでいました。

It was my second time, but it became the best memory for my mother, who was trying it for the first time!

私自身は２度目でしたが、初挑戦の母にとっては最高の思い出となりました！

It was windy, but I brought a windbreaker, so I was able to enjoy sailing without feeling cold.

The staff inside were very pleasant, bringing drinks and checking in on us, which made for a great experience.

Along the way, we were able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close, and the hour went by in no time.

風が強かったのですが、ウインドブレイカーを持参したので寒くなることもなくセイリングを楽しめました。

中のスタッフはとても感じが良く、飲みのものを運んでくれたり、声をかけてくれたりして気分良く過ごせました。

途中、イルカや海亀も間近に見ることができ、あっという間の一時間でした。

The duration was three hours, but it wasn't just continuous dancing; there were audience interactions and various shows, making the time fly by. It was a lot of fun. I thought it might be a bit of a luxury, but it created wonderful memories for my mother and me on our trip. Thank you very much.

所要時間が3時間だったのですが、ただダンスが続くだけでなく、観客を巻き込んだり、色々なショーが観れてあっという間の時間でした。とても楽しかったです。ちょっと贅沢かなと思ったのですが、母娘旅に良い思い出ができました。ありがとうございました。
