All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

An airplane was flying overhead, and I was able to take some wonderful photos!

A few groups went offshore, and since there is a sequence of activities, it's better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication in advance.

船酔いする人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいい。

It was great that they took many photos from various angles (for a fee). It was a very enjoyable cruise with the cheerful crew.

色んな角度からたくさん写真を撮ってくれる（有料）のでとてもよかったです。明るい乗組員さんたちととても楽しいクルーズでした。

Beautiful sunset
A nice ride on the water
Guys were so awesome and accommodating made sure it was a great experience for everyone

It was a great way to start the day. Super convenient if you're staying at a hotel on Kalakaua Ave. Just walk to the Duke Statue on Waikiki Beach, check-in and board. No driving to the harbor and dealing with parking. The crew were all very professional and super helpful to nervous, first time snorkelers. They rent all that you need but they don't have fins so if you want/need fins bring your own.

We stopped on the way out to observe some dolphins so if you're lucky its not just turtles you'll see. Definitely worth it and we will go again the next time we visit.

If you arrive exactly on time for the meeting (10:30 AM for an 11:00 AM start), you will end up waiting for a full 30 minutes. Unfortunately, the explanation during the pre-monitoring was difficult to understand. However, we do some practice on the sandy beach, and the instructor provides support while we're on the water.

During my first attempt, I couldn't catch any waves and felt a bit down, but on the second try, the instructor taught me the tips again, and after that, I was able to enjoy it a lot. Most of the other participants were also first-timers, but everyone managed to ride the waves. Before starting, they ask if you want the photo option for $65, and I think not ordering this was a mistake (I believe they were taking photos with a drone).

集合時間（11時開始の場合10時30分）にきっちり間に合うと30分しっかり待つことになります。
残念ながら、事前のモニターでの説明はわかりにくいです。
しかし砂浜でちょっとした練習をしますし、海上ではインストラクターがサポートしてくれてます。
1回目は波に乗れずにまさに撃沈で若干凹んでしまいましたが、2回目はインストラクターが再度コツを教えてくれたので、その後はとても楽しむことができました。
他の参加者も初めての人がほとんどでしたが、みんな波に乗れるようになっていました。
開始前に写真のオプション65ドルを聞かれますがこれを注文しなかったのは失敗だったと思っています。（多分、ドローンで写真を撮ってくれていたのだと思います）

Since we were the only Japanese couple, Mr. Akira Ogawa approached us before the show started and explained, "I'll include some Japanese as we go along." Once the show began, the host entertained us with fun magic tricks and jokes in easily understandable English. During Mr. Ogawa's show, I was even called upon as the only participating Japanese person, which allowed me to feel a sense of unity with the other audience members, transcending the language barrier in what felt like a brief but enjoyable hour.

I've been to Hawaii over twenty times, but since I usually focus on outdoor activities, it was a great decision to participate in a show this time. It was truly enjoyable to see Mr. Ogawa's magic, which is said to be the best in the world, up close.

日本人は私たち夫婦のみだったためか、緒川集人さんから、ショウが始まる前に声をかけていただき「様子を見て日本語も入れますから。」などと説明していただけました。ショウが始まると、聞き取り易い英語で司会の方がジョークを入れた楽しいマジックを見せてくれ、緒川さんのショウでは、唯一参加している日本人として振られる突っ込みもあり、言葉の壁を越えて他の観客の人たちと一体感を感じながらのあっという間の１時間でした。
ハワイは、これまで２０数回来ているのですが、アウトドアが専門だったので、今回はこれまでと違ったショウを楽しんでみようと参加したのが大正解でした。
世界一と言われる緒川さんのマジックを間近で見ることができて本当に楽しかったです。

The hula show lesson was lively, with participants enjoying themselves. The buffet had an overwhelming volume, and the roast beef was delicious.

The entertainment show that followed was very realistic, and even if you're not a fan of Elvis or Michael, you'll have a great time.

フラショーのレッスンがあり、楽しく参加されてる方々が盛り上がってました。食事は、ビュッフェで食べきれないボリュームでローストビーフがおいしかったです。

移動してのエンターテイメントショーも、リアリティーがあり
エルビスやマイケルのファンでなくてもすごく楽しめますよ。

My birthday dinner. I thought it would be nice to try casual dining for a change, so I made a reservation for the live music. Even though I mentioned it was my birthday, there wasn't any special service. When I told the waiter who brought my last coffee that I wished he would have at least said "Happy Birthday," the live band played "Happy Birthday" for me.
For dessert, I had a super sweet ice cream (see photo).

自分の誕生日ディナー。たまにはカジュアルダイニングもよいかと、生演奏目当てに予約。誕生日だと伝えてたのに、特にサービスもなし。最後のコーヒーを頼んだボーイに誕生日おめでとうくらいいってほしかったわと伝えると、生バンドが、happyバースデーを演奏してくれました。　
デザートは甘〜いアイス（写真）でした。

We had a great time. We saw dolphins, turtles, and a mom and baby humpback whale. The baby was breaching over and over; incredible to watch! The crew was funny and informative and helpful. It was a really enjoyable experience!

I had a great time. The food was good, and I enjoyed the show as well. Since the meal started late, I think it would be even better if it started earlier.

楽しかったです。
食事内容もよく、ショーも楽しめました。
食事のスタートが遅かったので、早いと、さらに良いと思います

Excellent experience for the whole family! The crew were very helpful and courteous. I highly recommend this excursion. I have used Veltra for years now and will continue to use them. I had missed my flight and couldn’t make it to the original date . I called and they were able to reschedule me with no hesitation. Great customer service and care!

The weather was nice, with little wind, perfect for parasailing! There was also a rainbow, which added to the great atmosphere. I was scared at first, but once I got used to it, it felt wonderful and was a lot of fun. I want to do it again!

天気も良く風も少なくパラセイリング日和でした！
虹も出ていて良い感じでした。
最初は怖かったですが慣れたら気持ちよく楽しかったです。またやりたいです！

I felt seasick, the wind was strong, and I shouted for help to the sky with my friends, feeling as if I might die from the sensation of floating like an attraction. However, thanks to the captain's wonderful energy, we were able to create amazing memories. We were on the brink of unstable weather, but it cleared up, and we even got to see a rainbow. It was fantastic! Additionally, at the end, I was able to take a photo with the two captains and my friends, spending a happy time together. I was so happy to experience parasailing for the first time in Hawaii and to meet such wonderful people.

船には酔い、風が強くて友達と助けてーと空に向かって叫び、アトラクションかのような浮遊感があり死ぬかと思いましたが、キャプテンのすてきなテンションで素晴らしい思い出を作ることができました。また、天候の不安定であるかないかの瀬戸際でしたが晴れて虹も見ることができました。素晴らしかった!さらに、最後にはキャプテン二人と友達と4人で写真を撮ることができて幸せな時間を過ごすことができました。人生初のパラセーリングをハワイでできてすてきな人にも出会えてしあわせでした

It was quite impressive, and although the impersonations were somewhat cliché, I enjoyed it enough. The guests from the neighboring country were loud and disruptive. There were issues with the seating ranks.

なかなか迫力あり、ものまねもベタなものだったが充分楽しめた。隣国の客が大声で話してうるさかった。席のランクでのトラブルが起きていた。

The breeze was pleasant, and it was a very enjoyable cruise! The captain spotted a whale and chased after it several times. From a distance, we could see the spray and the tail!
At one point, the boat stopped, and those who wanted to swim went into the water. We didn't swim because we thought it might get cold after getting out of the sea.
Indeed, during this time of year, it gets chilly after sunset. I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket.
Also, the night view of Waikiki was very beautiful!
I would love to join again if I have the opportunity.

風が気持ち良く、とても楽しいクルーズでした！キャプテンがくじらを発見し、何度も追いかけてくれました。遠くからですが、しぶきと尾ひれが見えました！
途中で船を停めてくれて、海に入りたい人は泳いでいました。私たちは海から出た後、寒くなりそうだったので、泳ぎませんでした。
やはり、この時期は、日が沈んでからは、肌寒くなってきました。長袖の上着を持ってきていて良かったと思いました。
そして、ワイキキの夜景がとても綺麗でした！
また機会があれば参加したいです。

Das Waikiki Luau Dinner bestach durch sein überaus freundliches Personal und das hervorragende Essen, das traditionelle polynesische Geschmäcker gekonnt in Szene setzte. Besondere Höhepunkte des Abends waren die mitreißende Polynesische Show und die spektakulären Auftritte der Doubles von Elvis Presley und Michael Jackson. Diese Darbietungen brachten eine einzigartige Energie und Begeisterung, die das Publikum faszinierte. Die Kombination aus exzellenter Gastfreundschaft, kulinarischen Highlights und diesen hochkarätigen Performances machte unseren Besuch zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Ein absolutes Muss für alle, die einen Hauch von Hollywood in der hawaiianischen Kultur erleben möchten.

I visited here quite a while ago, and it feels like it has been upgraded. There are various shows centered around Elvis and Michael, as well as a fire show and other performances with things hanging from the ceiling. I might come back in a few years.

かなり前に一度来たことがありまたが、グレードアップした気がします。
エルビスとマイケルのショーを中心にファイヤーショー、また天井から吊らされたりといろいろあります。また何年か後に来ようかな

I was disappointed that I couldn't see any whales, but I enjoyed the beautiful scenery without any waves. Next time, I will sign up for a Japanese tour!

クジラが見れなかったのが残念でしたでも波もなく素晴らしい景色堪能しました☺️次回は日本語ツアー申込します❗

We visited for our family's first trip to Hawaii. The cheerful staff greeted us warmly, allowing us to start our meal in a fun atmosphere. While the variety of the buffet wasn't very extensive, each dish (especially the roast beef) was very delicious, and we were satisfied.

After the buffet, we went inside the building to enjoy a show. We were able to enjoy various types of music, including hula dancing, fire dancing, and popular songs from America. I highly recommend seeing it at least once when traveling to Hawaii.

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で訪れました。明るい店員が気さくに話しかけてくれて、楽しい気分で食事を始めることが出来ました。ビュッフェの種類自体はそれほど多くなかったですが、一つ一つの料理（特にローストビーフ）はとてもおいしく、満足できました。
ビュッフェの後は建物内に入り、ショーを楽しみました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンス、アメリカで流行った曲など、様々な種類の音楽を楽しむことが出来ました。ハワイに旅行する際、ぜひ一回見てみることをお勧めします。

I was wondering if I would be able to see anything in December, but I boarded the boat with a little hope. The cheerful and polite staff welcomed us warmly. Despite the strong sea breeze, they called out to each group of passengers and took photos one after another. I got to see the whale I had been longing for and the spouting water. I am grateful to the staff who anchored the boat in the sea and waited patiently. The vast blue ocean stretched out as far as the eye could see. I hope to ride this boat again someday for whale watching. By then, I’m sure I’ll be able to meet the whales…

12月ではまだ見れないかな？と思いながら、少しだけ期待もして搭乗した船。
陽気で丁寧な応対のお兄さん達。
強い海風に煽られながらも、グループ毎の乗客に声をかけて、次々に写真を撮ってくれた。
会いたかったくじら。見たかった汐吹。
海上で船を停泊させて粘ってくれた、お兄さん達に、感謝。青い大海原がずっと先まで見渡せた。
いつかまたフォーエルウォッチングをしにこの船に乗ろう。その時は、きっと、くじらに合えるように…

We traveled with four adults and a baby, making reservations staggered at 11:00 for two people and 12:00 for two people, while taking turns watching the baby in the shade of the neighboring Hilton Lagoon! Since it was the rainy season, we had several days of bad weather, and our originally scheduled day was canceled due to strong winds. However, we rescheduled for the next day and were able to experience it without any issues! The weather was great, and the view was spectacular!

After reading reviews, I took motion sickness medication, and it worked well! There were three groups on the boat, including us, and the duration of the ride was just right—not too long!

As for tips, the foreign guests gave $20 each to the crew and the captain, while the Japanese guests did not give any. We gave about $5! The crew responded with refreshing smiles in any situation, so it didn't feel necessary to worry too much about it!

大人4人と赤ちゃんで旅行していたのですが、
11:00〜2名、12:00〜2名と時間をずらして予約をし、隣のヒルトンラグーンの日陰で赤ちゃんを交代でみるという形で参加しました！
雨季なのもあり、天気の良くない日が続き、初め予約した日が強風で中止になってしまいました。しかし、翌日に変更し無事に体験することができました！天気もよく最高の景色でした！

口コミを見て酔い止めも飲み、大丈夫でした！船に乗っていたのは私たちを含め3組で、乗っている時間も長すぎずちょうどよかったです！

チップは、外国人の方は20ドルを乗組員と操縦士さんにそれぞれあげていましたし、日本人の方はなしでした。私たちは5ドル程渡しました！
どんな形でも爽やか笑顔で対応してくれていたので特に気にする必要もないかなという感じでした！

I joined because I wanted to ride on a yacht. The weather was decent, so it wasn't too rocky, making it comfortable and refreshing. Luckily, we encountered a group of dolphins, and they followed our boat for a while, allowing us to see them up close! I would love to join again. I highly recommend it! ♪

ヨットに乗りたくて参加しました。天気もまあまあだったからあまり揺れなかったので快適、爽快。ラッキーなことにイルカのグループに会えて、しばらく私たちが乗った船についてきたので間近にイルカたちを見ることができました！また参加したいです。おすすめです♪

The buffet-style meal featured a menu that was very much in line with Hawaiian cuisine, and I was delighted to be able to try items that I probably wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy during my stay. Additionally, there were whole pineapples and a welcome drink service with Mai Tai, which made it a lot of fun. I also had the rare opportunity to see hula dancing up close during the meal, which was a precious experience. We visited for our honeymoon, and I was thrilled that there was a ukulele performance at each table.

The show after dinner was more authentic and spectacular than I had imagined, and it was truly moving! I had wondered how the combination of hula and rock would work, but it turned out to be a wonderful show where both styles matched beautifully, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. In particular, the performances that traced history evoked a sense of nostalgia and were wonderfully structured to captivate the audience. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

ビュッフェ形式のお食事は、ハワイらしいメニューになっており、意外と滞在中に口にする機会のなさそうなものを頂くことができ、嬉しかったです。また、まるごとのパイナップルや、ウェルカムドリンクでマイタイのサービスなどもあり、とても楽しめました。また、お食事中にフラダンスを間近で見ることができ、貴重な時間でした。新婚旅行で伺いましたが、席ごとにウクレレの演奏もしていただき、嬉しかったです。

お食事後のショーは想像していたよりも本格的で、華やかで感動しました！
フラダンスとロックの組み合わせはどんなだろう？と思っていましたが、両者の良さが見事にマッチした素晴らしいショーになっており、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。特に、歴史を辿るような演出は懐かしさも感じられ、人を惹きつける素晴らしい構成になっているなと思いました。
機会があればまた訪れたいです。

It was a lively and energetic performance by the Frat Show that really pulled you in.

When I arrived before the opening time, there was already a long line, and everyone seemed to be eagerly anticipating the ball party.

The performances by the carefully selected dancers were impressive and made for a truly enjoyable festive moment.

Thank you very much.

ご機嫌のノリとグイグイ引っ張る熱量のフラ・ショーでした。

開場時間前に到着したところ、すでに大行列で、みなさん、お待ちかねのボールパーティーのようでした。

厳選されたダンサーの方々のパフォーマンスは見応え抜群、楽しい祝祭のひとときでした。

ありがとうございました。

Workers we’re awesome! Only thing I’d wish was we had a little more time in the air but overall super fun and the workers were great with our 5 year old daughter! Everything was easy and smooth. Thanks!

I had a wonderful experience. The weather was great, and I could see Diamond Head clearly, which felt very nice. Thank you very much.

素敵な体験ができました。
天候もよく、ダイアモンドヘッドが良く見えてとても気持ちよかったです。
ありがとうございました。

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

Overall, we enjoyed the trip. Staff was great! However, the snorkel spot was crowded with lots of other groups. It felt like you were bumping into people the whole time. We saw some turtles, but there wasn't much else to see. Also, the parking instructions are unclear. All it said was they validate in the garage, so I parked in the obvious giant garage. But they don't validate in that one (the Hale Koa). They only validate in the Hilton Garage which is harder to find. I hope they aren't unclear on purpose...that cost an extra $39!

My friend and I, who are not young anymore, took on this challenge thinking it would be our first and last time, and it was the best (though my family seemed quite worried). No matter how old we get, we want to do what we love!

The view from above was also amazing.

若くはなかった友達と私
でも最初で最後と思って挑戦して最高（家族は相当心配したみたいだけどね）
幾つになってもやりたい事はやる！

上からの景色も素晴らしかったしね

My wife and I attended the luau show. Before the show started, there were several events prepared, and we had a great time. At the same table, a couple from the mainland talked to us, and we had a nice interaction. The show was also very impressive and enjoyable. Thank you very much.

家内と2人でルアウショーに参加致しました。
ショーが始まる前に幾つかイベントも用意されていて楽しく過ごせました。
同じテーブルではメインランドから来たご夫婦が話しかけてくださり、良い交流もできました。
ショーも大迫力で楽しかったです。
ありがとうございました。
