All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

買い物や食事よりもハワイらしい経験をしたくて、パラセーリングを申し込みましたが、間違いなく記憶に残る素晴らしい経験でした。
小型ボートだけど、ガンガン勢いのある船にのって10名くらいで、パラセーリングを楽しみました。
初めての経験だったのでメチャクチャ怖かったけど、スリル満点で、高校生と大学生の子どもたちは、笑いが止まらず、今回のハワイ旅で経験してよかった、と思います。
ただ、空港到着当日の夕方直接行ったのですが、これは、ハードスケジュールすぎたかも。翌日体にこたえました。船酔いの薬は飲んで参加してよかったです。
人生一度は挑戦してみる価値のある経験だとおまいます。非日常を味わえて、メチャ楽しかったです！

Great overall experience! Crew and captain were very friendly and engaging with all the guest. My 9y/o and 15y/o had such a great time they wished they were able to stay out in the water longer.

The food was delicious, and the show was amazing! I was satisfied to enjoy a welcome Mai Tai along with the meal. The show was full of excitement, and both parents and children could enjoy it together. I recommend taking a commemorative photo with the cast after the show as well.

料理も美味しかったし、ショーも最高でした！
料理と一緒にウェルカムマイタイも頂けて、満足です。
ショーは迫力満点で、親子で楽しめました。
ショーの後もキャストと記念撮影もできるのでおすすめです。

If you're going to Hawaii, I want to meet sea turtles! After comparing various tours and reading many reviews, as well as checking the duration and costs, I found this one to be the best overall and made a reservation. (＊Since it's primarily in English, if you're worried about understanding, I think a tour with Japanese-speaking staff would be reassuring.)

As a result, I was able to see about 5-6 sea turtles, there were plenty of fish, and the staff were cheerful and fun, making me glad I chose this tour. I unfortunately got seasick on the way back and couldn't see, but it seemed there were dolphins and whales as well!

As others have mentioned, there were about 30-40 participants on the day, but we were the only Japanese. All the staff were locals, so you won't experience Japanese hospitality or explanations in Japanese, but you can enjoy the local atmosphere and a casual vibe, which I recommend.

On the day, I was lucky to have a local staff member who could speak a little Japanese. When I was scared to let go of the stairs while entering the water, they asked, "Are you scared?" and "Are you okay?" and checked if I wanted to return to the boat. I really wanted to see the sea turtles, so I said, "I'm scared, but I want to go into the water," and they held my hand and swam with me until I got used to it, lending me a float cushion. (At one point, an elderly person had to return to the boat due to fatigue, so I returned the cushion, but by then, I had gotten used to the water and was able to swim on my own!)

I tend to get seasick easily, and it was windy that day, so I took medication beforehand, but I ended up getting seasick on the way back and vomited a couple of times. There was a restroom, so I managed to be okay, but if you're prone to seasickness, be cautious depending on the weather that day. (By the way, the restroom was basic, and you couldn't flush paper; you had to pump it yourself to flush.)

It was my first snorkeling experience, and I was anxious since I can't swim well, but I was moved to see the sea turtles. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I'm grateful to the wonderful staff.

ハワイに行くならウミガメに会いたい！といろんなツアーを比較し、口コミをたくさん読み比べ、所要時間や費用なども調べた結果、ここが総合的に1番良さそうで予約しました。(＊基本的には英語なので、英語の聞き取りが不安な方は、日本語スタッフのいるツアーが安心かなと思います)

結果、ウミガメ5-6匹ほどに会うこともでき、魚も沢山いて、スタッフの方々も陽気で楽しいたちで、このツアーにして良かったなと思いました。
わたしは帰りに船酔いして見れなかったですが、イルカやクジラもいたようでした！

他の方も書いている通り、当日は30-40名と参加者は多かったものの、日本人は自分たちだけでした。
スタッフは全員現地の方なので、日本的なホスピタリティや日本語説明は求められないですが、現地感を味わえ、カジュアルな雰囲気を楽しめるのでおすすめです。

当日は運良く日本語を少し話せる現地のスタッフがいました。海に入る時にこわくて階段から手を離せないでいると「こわい？」「大丈夫？」など声かけしてくれて、「船戻りたい？」など確認してくれました。私はどうしてもウミガメを見たかったので「こわいけど海には行きたい」と無茶を言ったところ、慣れるまで手をつないで一緒に泳いでくれて、浮きクッションを貸してくれました。(途中で高齢の方が体力的に厳しくなって船に戻るため、そのクッションはお返ししましたが、その頃には海にも慣れて1人で泳げるようになっていました！)

船酔いしやすい体質で、当日は風が強かったので、事前に薬を飲んでいましたが、帰りに船酔いを起こし2回ほど吐きました。トイレがあったのでなんとか大丈夫でしたが、船酔いする方は当日の天候次第では要注意です。(ちなみにトイレは簡易的なもので、紙は流せない&自分でポンプを上げ下げして流すトイレでした)

初シュノーケリングで、ほぼ泳げないので不安でしたが、ウミガメをみれて感動しました。ほんとにこのツアーに参加して良かったです。素敵なスタッフの方に感謝です。

This was my first time participating with my family of seven. It was easy to make a reservation on the day, the staff were very friendly, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a very enjoyable experience.

今回初めて家族7人で参加させていただきました。予約も当日、簡単に取れスタッフがとても親切で、天候にも恵まれ非常に楽しかったです。

All the staff were very warm and welcoming. The show had many highlights, and I felt it was a good decision to book the tour. The location was also easy to find, as it was inside the Royal Hawaiian Center, which was great in terms of accessibility.

スタッフの方々全員がとてもあたたかくもてなしてくれました。ショーも見所が多く、ツアーを申し込んで良かったと思いました。場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターの中とわかり易かったので、立地面でも良かったです。

I did get a bit seasick along the way, but I was able to see the seabed, and I was surprised to find fish in such deep waters. If I have the chance again, I would love to do it again.

途中船酔いもしましたが、海底を見ることができて
そんな深いところに魚もいるなんてビックリしました。また機会があったらよろしくお願いします

I wasn't very confident participating because I don't understand English well, but the cruise while viewing the Diamond Head from the boat and the sunset scenery became a wonderful memory! The Mai Tai cocktail was also delicious! I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

英語があまりわからずで参加でしたので少し不安がありましたが、船から見るダイヤモンドベッドや、夕日が沈む景色を見ながらのクルーズは素敵な思い出になりました！カクテルのマイタイも美味しかった！ハワイに行った時はまた参加したいです！

We had a great time with Micky. My family and I enjoyed our first snorkeling experience in Hawaii.

We participated in the Thursday evening show after searching for various options at the request of my child who wanted to see a fire dance. There were some Japanese attendees, but the majority were foreigners.

The venue was about 60% full, and even though we arrived about 10 minutes before the show started, we were able to sit quite close to the front. The seating was not reserved, so it was first come, first served.

I looked into other tours as well, but since the fire dance itself only lasts about 5 minutes out of the total show time of over an hour, I chose this tour because it seemed to have a structure that would keep us entertained without getting bored.

In addition to the Hawaiian-themed show, the singing and dancing performances by impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were spectacular, and even though I wasn't a big fan of theirs, I enjoyed it very much.

There was also an announcement that photography during the show was allowed, and everyone was taking pictures and videos all around. After the show, the performers, including Michael and Presley, came out to the lobby for individual photos and handshakes.

Many young foreigners in their teens and twenties were also asking for photos and handshakes, which made me feel once again the greatness of Michael and Presley. It was an affordable show that was highly enjoyable even for those who are not fans, and it exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it!

ファイヤーダンスを見たいとの子供のリクエストでいろいろ探した上で木曜日夜の部に参加。日本人もいたが、大半の参加者は外国人だった。
会場内は6割くらいの入りで、開演10分くらい前の入場だったが結構前の席に座ることができた。席は指定ではなく、早い者勝ちの様子。
他のツアーも調べたが全体1時間超のショー時間のうちファイヤーダンス自体は5分程度なので、飽きることなく楽しめそうな構成のものということでこのツアーを選択。
ハワイアンなショーに加え、マイケルジャクソンとエルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんによる歌とダンスパートが圧巻で、特に彼らのファンでもなかったがとても楽しめた。
またショーの撮影もokとアナウンスあり、みんなそこかしこで写真や動画撮影をしていた。
終了後、マイケルやプレスリーら出演者がロビーに出てきて個別撮影や握手に応じてくれた。
外国人の10〜20代くらいの若者も多くが写真や握手を求めており、改めてマイケルやプレスリーの偉大さを感じさせた。
手頃な値段で特にファンでなくても大いに楽しめた、予想以上に楽しめるおすすめのショーだった。

Great thing to do with a bigger family, kept all the kids together and busy all on 1 boat!

quick day on the water, nice as it does not take up your full day, but gives you a good safe way to snorkel for a few hours!

I signed up for a dinner buffet tour, and I was able to enjoy a wide variety of dishes. Although I'm not good at English, there was a person from Norway sitting next to me, and we had a great time until the end of the show using gestures, broken English, and their broken Japanese.
The show featured performances that were incredibly impressive, resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. The hula show was also captivating, with singing and dancing that were all perfectly executed.
I would love to participate again; it was a wonderful experience with the food and the show.

夕食ビュッフェ付きツアーを申し込みましたが、料理の種類が多く堪能できました。英語が苦手な私ですが隣の席にノルウェーの方がいて身振り、手振りとカタコト英語と相手のカタコトの日本語でショーの終わりまで楽しく過ごすことができました。
ショーもエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの物まねとは思えないほどの内容で堪能しました。またフラショーも見ごたえが有り、歌と踊り全てが完成されていて素晴らしかった。
また参加したい、見てみた食事、ショーでした。

The parasailing I participated in previously in Hawaii took a long time as we had to take a taxi to a distant marina, board a boat, wait on a float, and then switch to the parasailing boat. However, here you can walk to the marina next to the Hilton and board the boat from there, which saves time. The staff was friendly. The wind was strong, the boat was very rocky, and there was some thrilling swaying during the parasailing. I think it's better to take motion sickness medication.

以前ハワイで参加したパラセイリングはタクシーで遠くのマリーナまで行って、そこでボートに乗り、その先でまたフロートで待たされ、パラセイリング用のボートに乗り換えて…と時間がかかりましたが、ここはヒルトンの横のマリーナまで歩いて行けばそこからボートに乗るので無駄なく時間使えます。
親切なスタッフでした。
風が強く、ボートはとても揺れるし、パラセイリング中も風で横揺れしてスリルはありました。
酔い止め飲んだほうが良いと思います

Outstanding! A great crew, wonderful vibe and energy. We loved seeing the fireworks from the Catamaran. Would highly recommend!

I participated with middle and high school children. They were thrilled and said it was the most exciting experience they’ve ever had. We were able to overlook the views of Waikiki, and it became a very good experience. I’m grateful for the photos we were able to take as well.

中高生の子どもたちと参加しました。今までで一番スリルがあったと大喜びでした。ワイキキの景色も見渡せて、とてもいい経験になりました。写真も撮ってもらえてありがたいです。

My friends and i had a great time. staff was nice.

From beginning to end the crew made everything easy, relaxing, fun and super special!!!! They were excellent with giving instructions and support to make us feel confident and comfortable in the water. The special attention to my 8yo daughter was above and beyond! We saw lots of turtles and beautiful fish. Kainoa even took my daughter around on the surf board and back to the boat when she needed a break so I could keep swimming! I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! We want to do it again!!!!

It can get very chilly.. be careful with the splash zone as well! Overall, the view was fantastic! We saw a full rainbow and everyone was all vibing together, enjoying the scenery. All of the members were very helpful and entertaining, they made sure everyone was having a great time. Drinks were pretty good, definitely hold onto your drinks, this booze cruise can get rocky!

We had a great time. The crew was fun and took good care of us.

My husband and I recently booked the tickets and shuttle to hike Diamond Head as I was reading how you had to have reservations to hike unless you are local. This is a change since the first time I hiked it when you didn’t have to make reservations. We also didn’t rent a car this visit, so the shuttle was perfect as it dropped us off and picked us up at a designated time. We were given tips on the way there as well as instructions how to make the hike more enjoyable. I highly recommend going with this company as you have three times to choose from to be picked up without the dynamics of reserving tickets or driving there or finding parking which is limited. The shuttle takes you as close to the trailhead as possible

Although the weather may impact your experience on this cruise, the crew doesn't let it get in the way of making it fun! The music blastic, if the rain is pouring they will make sure the boat feels the waves so that everyone can groove!

Everyone loved the ride and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu from way past the swimming point of the shore! The crew is entertaining and fun!

On the evening of the day I arrived in Hawaii, I participated in a sunset catamaran tour. As soon as we headed out to sea, a rainbow appeared over Diamond Head, and I was blessed with the incredible view of Waikiki and the rainbow from the ocean. The sunset was also amazing, and seeing Waikiki from the sea became one of my best memories. It's an activity I would love to participate in again.

ハワイに到着した日の夕方にサンセットカタマランに参加しました。海へ出てすぐに、ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、ワイキキの街と虹を海から見るという最高の祝福を受けました。サンセットも素晴らしく、海から見るワイキキは最高の思い出になりました。また参加したいと思うアクティビティです。

It was my second time, and I had a great time. I was a bit concerned about the price being on the higher side. The sea was beautiful, and the crew was very kind to us.

2回目でしたが、楽しかったです。
ちょっと値段がお高いのが気になりました。
海は綺麗だし、クルーの方が優しくしてくださいました。

I tried surfing for the first time this time. I'm almost 50 years old and usually don't exercise much, so I was worried, but I chose a group lesson. First, we watched a video with various precautions at the shop. Then we walked to the beach, where I practiced the basic movements repeatedly with the instructor, Mr. Yamazaki. During about an hour, I was able to ride the waves 7 to 8 times while learning the tips and timing for paddling. At first, my waist was too high, and I couldn't ride the waves for long, but I received advice to stand up slowly without rushing, which allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. I requested a drone video and photos during check-in (for $65 plus tax), and I was quite satisfied with the content, which was also well-received by my family.

今回初めてサーフィンにチャレンジしてみました。もうすぐ50歳で普段は運動不足気味なので心配でしたが、グループレッスンを選択。最初にショップで諸注意を含めたビデオを鑑賞。続いてビーチに徒歩で移動して、インストラクターのYamazakiさんと繰り返し基本動作を練習し、パドリングのコツやタイミングを教えてもらいながら約1時間の間に7〜8回波に乗れました。最初腰の位置が高くなり過ぎて、波に長く乗れずでしたが、焦らずゆっくり立ち上がるようにアドバイスをもらい、じっくり楽しめました。チェックインの際にドローン撮影ビデオ・写真（65ドルプラス税）を依頼しましたが、かなり満足できる内容で、家族にも好評でした。

I was very moved to be able to participate in Rock Aloha. The first dinner was a great experience where I could enjoy delicious local Hawaiian cuisine. I also enjoyed the live ukulele performance and hula dancing. The show featured a variety of songs, dances, and instrumental performances, and time flew by. Each performance was powerful, and my whole body was thrilled by the professional entertainment. I am grateful to have seen such a wonderful show. The service from the dinner staff was also outstanding. I appreciate being given such a fantastic opportunity. Thank you very much.

ロックアフラに参加出来てとても感激です。
最初のディナーは、ハワイローカルの美味しい料理を味わう事が出来て、良い体験でした。
また、ウクレレの生演奏やフラダンスも楽しめました。ショーの方は、多様な歌や踊り、楽器演奏があり、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。どの演目も迫力があり、プロフェッショナルのエンターテイメントに体全体が震えました。こんなに素敵なショーが見れたことに感謝しています。ディナーのサーバーのおもてなしも大変素晴らしかったです。
このような素晴らしい機会を与えて頂いた事に感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

We enjoyed the adventure very much. The crew were friendly and very helpful, we saw a mother and baby whale bottle nose dolphins all around our catamaran . when we got to the spot to snorkel with the turtles the crew really went out of there way to make sure everyone had a great time.
I would highly recommend this adventure if you come to Honolulu.
thank you again . we are going to use Hawaii Activities everytime we come to the islands

We participated as a family of four, including our 7-year-old and 12-year-old children. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but before we even left the harbor, the other passengers started getting seasick one after another. It turned into a situation where some passengers were vomiting inside the boat due to motion sickness. The staff tried their best to lift the mood, but the energy among the other members plummeted, and eventually, the kids also started feeling queasy and expressed a desire to go home early. Fortunately, we managed to get some air while returning to port. It might not be advisable to do this on days with strong swells.

7歳と12歳の子供含めて家族4人で参加しました。事前に酔い止めを服用しての参加でしたが、港を出て沖に出る前に同乗していた方々が次々に酔ってしまい、同乗者達が波酔いで船内で吐いたりしてるなかでの催行となりました。スタッフたちはなんとか盛り上げようとしてくれましたが、他のメンバーはテンションがダダ下がり、次第に子供達ももらい酔いして早く帰りたいと言い出すほどでした。帰港しながらなんとか空に上がる事ができたのが不幸中の幸いでした。余りうねりが強い日にやるものではないかもしれません。

I had been curious about this activity for a while since it was featured in several TV programs, and everyone who watched it said, "It was fun!" I participated with another adult woman, but as mentioned in previous reviews, the minimum number of participants is "three," so we paid for three people to join. With fewer participants, a staff member will accompany you to paddle together.

Before we started, I was a bit anxious, but once we got into the canoe, all my worries disappeared. We all paddled hard out to sea, waited for good waves, and when the right wave came, we paddled hard again to start! The thrill of the canoe riding the waves was amazing! I felt like I understood why surfers get so caught up in the waves. We managed to ride the waves three times.

Next time I visit Hawaii, I will definitely repeat this activity!

いくつかのTV番組などで紹介されていて、どれを見ても「面白かった！」との感想だったので、前々から気になっていたアクティビティでした。
大人な年齢の女性二人で参加したのですが、前のクチコミの方がおっしゃっていたように、最低申込人数が「三人」となっているので、三人分の料金を払って参加しました。少ない参加人数だと、ちゃんと後ろに一緒に漕いでくれるスタッフの方が付いてくれます。
始まる前は少々不安でしたが、いざ、カヌーに乗り込んでしまえばそんな不安は吹っ飛びました。沖の方までみんなで一生懸命にカヌーをこいで、沖で良い波を待ち、乗れる波が来たら、再び一生懸命前に漕いでスタート！
カヌーが波に乗って走る疾走感！！最高でした。サーファーの方たちの波に夢中になる気持ちがわかったような気がしました。三回、波に乗れました。
次回、ハワイを訪れたら、絶対リピート、決定です。

On the day of arrival, I went straight from the airport. Since we had to change into swimsuits for the gathering, I changed in the airport restroom. It's very close to Hilton Waikiki.

We put on life jackets and boarded a small boat to depart. One group at a time was lifted up, and we were in the air for a little over five minutes. The view of Diamond Head and the town was beautiful.

The whole experience lasted about an hour, but be careful as I got sunburned on my thighs because I didn't apply sunscreen there. Also, the boat was small and rocked quite a bit; my friend got very seasick even after taking motion sickness medication, so it might be a good idea to take stronger medicine. Due to the rocking, it's easy to get splashed, so I think it's better to have your smartphone in a waterproof case. By the way, it would be good to check if photos come out well, including selfies, while in the waterproof case, as you can take nice pictures in the air. Mine turned out a bit dark!

You will change into swimsuits again, but you won't get completely soaked; it's just your backside that gets a little wet when you come down!

到着日に空港から直行しました。
水着に着替えて集合だったので、空港のトイレで着替えて行きました。ヒルトンワイキキのすぐ近くです。
ライフジャケットを着て、小さめの船に乗り出発しました。一組ずつ上げてもらい、５分強ほど上空でした。ダイヤモンドヘッドや町がよく見えてきれいでした。
全体で1時間ほどでしたが、太ももに日焼け止めを塗らずにいたらしっかり焼けたので気をつけてください。また船が小さくかなり揺れて、友人は酔い止めを飲んでいてもかなり酔っていたので、強めの薬を飲むなど対策するといいかもしれません。揺れもあって、水がかかりやすいのでスマホは防水カバーしたほうがいいと思います。ちなみに防水カバーした状態でインカメ含め写真がきれいに映るか確認したほうが、上空でいい写真が撮れるかと思います。私は少し暗い写りになってしまいました！
また水着に着替えますが、がっつり濡れるというよりは、降りてくる時にお尻だけ濡れる程度です！
