All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

The view from 150 meters high was spectacular. However, there were other people as well, so there was some waiting time on the boat. During that time, I felt a bit seasick. I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness bring some medication.

高さ150メートルからの景色は絶景でした。ただ、他の方もおられますので船の上での待ち時間もあります。その間に少し船酔いしました。酔いやすい方は酔い止めを持っていかれることをおすすめします。

The reception staff included Japanese speakers, which was reassuring.
It's a Hawaiian show that you can enjoy starting from dinner before the show begins.
The food included Hawaiian dishes that we wouldn't typically choose ourselves, and everything was delicious, even the dessert!

The show was enjoyable for all ages, tracing the history of hula as well as famous artists.

My parents are from the perfect generation and used to listen to this music a lot, so I want to take them next time.

受付には日本語対応のスタッフさんもいらっしゃって安心でした。
ショー開始前のディナーから楽しめるハワイショーです。
食事もハワイのお料理など自分たちでは選ばないようなものばかり、
味も美味しくデザートまで楽しめました！

ショーはフラの歴史はもちろん有名アーティストの歴史をたどるような年代に関係なく楽しめるものでした。

両親がドンピシャ世代で昔良く聞いていたので今度は連れて行ってあげたいなと思っています。

The wait from when we were seated until the meal started was quite long, and I ended up having a lot of time on my hands. We were seated at a long table in the order we arrived, so the people sitting next to me were from groups I didn't know at all. While we were waiting, a local person with a ukulele sang songs upon request, but they weren't very good, and it was quite tough to be forced to tip them. However, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the hula show.

席に座ってからご飯が始まるまでの時間が長く、かなり時間を持て余してしまいました。席は来た順番に長机に向かい合わせで座っていくので両隣はまったく知らないグループになります。待っている間ウクレレをもった現地の方が勝手にリクエストに応じて歌ってくれますがあまり上手でとなく、またチップを強制的に払わされるのが結構しんどかったです。でもご飯はおいしかったですし、フラショーは楽しめました。

The view of parasailing from the hotel in Waikiki was amazing. Since it departed from the harbor near the Hilton, the scenery was different from the land and absolutely fantastic.

ワイキキのホテルから見ていた光景のパラセイル
ヒルトンのそばの港から出港なので、陸からとは違った景色で最高でした

It was cloudy on the day, and there was occasional light rain, but we were able to see a bit of the sunset in between. I think if you arrive early at the meeting point and secure a spot on the net in front of the boat, you'll enjoy the view even more. The time spent on the boat was longer than I expected, and we were able to relax quite a bit.

当日は曇りで、たまに小雨が降ってきましたが、合間に少し夕陽を見ることができました。早めに集合場所に着いて、船の前のネットの上の位置が確保できたら、より景色が楽しめると思います。思ったより船に乗っている時間が長く、かなりゆっくりできました。

If you are afraid of heights like me maybe second think, but still decide to do it, as the sights of the crystal water are beautiful.

Really fun evening! We would recommend this luau to our friends visiting.

The waters in Hawaii are just amazing! Lovely day and lots of fish to see!

Really Awesome Views from Above. Me and my partner had a blast!!

The whole crew was just amazing. Lots of fun.
Thanks

This is my second time participating. There are emotions that you can't feel on a large ship, like the sea and the wind. The sunset was a touching moment. It's better to have something to wear over your shoulders.

2回目の参加になります。
海や風など大きな船では感じられない感動がありますね。サンセットは感動のひとときでした。
羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。

The captain and crew were young, and the sound and vibe were fantastic! Since communication was only in English, we were the only Japanese guests. Those who wanted could enter the sea offshore, and wearing life jackets was optional, allowing everyone to enjoy as they pleased. I highly recommend the sunset cruise.

キャプテンとクルーが若く、サウンドとノリが最高！英語のみのコミニケーションの為、日本人は自分達だけでした。
希望者は沖合いで海に入れますし、ライフジャケットの着用も自由で、好きな様に楽しむことが出来ます。
サンセットクルーズでは、オススメです。

This is an activity that I definitely recommend everyone to experience when visiting Hawaii. It was an amazing experience to see the Hawaiian scenery from above the ocean!

There was no pressure to tip, as it was more of a suggestion at the time of disembarkation, but since it was such a wonderful experience, I decided to give a tip!

Thanks to the advice from everyone, I took motion sickness medication and didn't feel nauseous at all! I put my tip, credit card, and smartphone in a waterproof phone case and hung it around my neck while holding my GoPro in my hand as I jumped! I only brought a beach towel for other items. The luggage goes in the boat's storage, and since there are staff members around, I felt that my belongings wouldn't be stolen while we were flying.

ハワイに来たらぜひみなさんに体験いただきたいアクティビティです。ハワイの景色を海の上から見れて、とっても最高な体験になりました！
チップは下車時によかったらチップお願いします的な感じで強制感はありませんでしたが、とても素敵な体験ができたので、お渡ししました！
みなさんのアドバイスを見て酔い止めを飲んだおかげか、特に酔いませんでした！
防水スマホケースにチップとクレカとスマホ入れて首から下げて、ゴープロを手に持って飛びました〜！そのほか持ちのものは、バスタオルくらいにしました。荷物はボートの荷物入れ？に入れますし、スタッフの方もいるので、飛んでる間に荷物が盗まれる事はないかなと思いました。

Since the people in the pair I rode with were all Japanese, I felt very comfortable and enjoyed participating. The weather was nice, so the scenery was amazing.

同乗したペアの人たちも日本人しかいなかったので、とても安心して楽しく参加できました。
天気が良かったので景色が最高でした。

On our honeymoon, we wanted to experience the essence of Hawaii on our first day, so we participated in this show!

First, we were excited to receive leis around our necks! When we sat at our table, there were two other Japanese couples already there.

As soon as we sat down, a woman with a ukulele appeared, inserting a $10 bill into her instrument. After playing a couple of songs, she immediately asked, "Do you know tip?" which, while feeling somewhat American, was a bit of a letdown. I wondered how much tip we would be expected to pay before even eating (laughs). The other Japanese couples at the same table seemed a bit taken aback.

After that, we enjoyed our meal while watching hula dancing. The food and the dance were not bad, but I felt that we shouldn't expect the same level of hospitality as in Japan.

The following show was of very high quality and quite lively. The dancers all looked like they were having fun, and it was really enjoyable to watch.

At the end, I got a photo and autograph from Michael. This was a nice keepsake!

I think once is enough for this experience, but since the location is good, participating in the show just to feel the Hawaiian vibe might be worth it!

ハネムーン、着いた初日にハワイらしさを味わいたく、このショーに参加しました！
まずはレイを首にかけて貰ってテンションアップ！テーブルに着席すると同じく日本人カップルがもう2組いました。
着席するやいなや、ウクレレを持ったおばさんがウクレレに10ドル紙幣を挟み登場。2曲ほど弾いたあとに、Do you know tip〜? とすかさず聞いてきて、ある意味アメリカらしさを感じつつも興醒めしました。ご飯を食べる前からこれか、一体いくらチップを払わされるんだろう…と(笑) 同テーブルの日本人カップルは若干みんな引き気味でした。

その後はフラダンスを観ながらご飯を食べました。ダンスもご飯も悪くはありませんが、日本ほどのホスピタリティを求めて行ってはいけないかなと感じました。

その後のショーはとてもクオリティも高く、盛り上がりました。ダンサーさん達もみんな楽しそうに踊っていて、観ていてとても楽しかったです。

最後にマイケルに写真とサインをしてもらいました。これは良い記念になりました！

1度行けばもういいかなと思いますが、まぁ立地も良いですしハワイらしさを感じるにはとりあえずショーだけ参加するのはありかもね！と思います。

We went out to sea by boat and experienced parasailing. The boat we joined had 10 people, all Japanese couples. The captain and two crew members were very lively and kept the energy high.

The round trip to the offshore location was quite bumpy, so if you're prone to seasickness, please take medication beforehand.

Basically, the communication is in English, but they guide you step by step, so it's not difficult. The time spent in the air is about 5 minutes, but it was surprisingly high and felt great.

They will ask if you want to take photos on the boat, but you can confirm the photos after disembarking before payment. If you have an iPhone, you can transfer the data on the spot and receive an SD card.

Due to the weak yen and high prices, Hawaii has become quite an expensive place, but considering the cost-effectiveness, it's a satisfying activity.

船で沖合に行き、パラセーリングを体験します。我々が参加する船は、5組10人、すべて日本人のカップルでした。ノリがいい船長と船員の2名がテンション高めに盛り上げてくれます。

沖合までの往復はかなり揺られので船酔いしやすい方は事前にお薬を飲んでください。

基本的には英語でのやり取りとなりますが、手取り足取り教えてくれるので難しいことはありません。空中にいる時間は5分程度ですが、想像以上に高く、気持ちが良かったです。

船の上で写真撮影の有無を聞かれるのですが、会計は下船後に写真を確認してからで大丈夫です。iPhoneであれば、その場でデータを転送のうえ、SDカードがもらえます。

円安と物価高で非常にハワイはお金がかかる場所になってしまいましたが、費用対効果を考えても満足できるアクティビティです。

The package was exactly as described online. The meet up spot was very easy to find. The boat provided amazing views of the fireworks with fun music. The entire experience was about an hour and the workers on the boat were awesome. Drinks were also included, but honestly I did not find them to taste that great. Otherwise, this package was absolutely worth the money and I would definitely do it again!

The location was great, making it convenient for shopping and dining. The shows featuring not only hula dancers but also singers impersonating Elvis and Michael Jackson were very impressive. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the exchanges in English between the performers and the audience. It seemed that the American tourists from the mainland enjoyed it even more.

立地が良いので、買い物や食事に合わせて利用できた。フラのみならずプレスリーやマイケル・ジャクソンに扮した歌手によるショーは見ごたえ充分。残念なのは、タレントと観客との英語による応酬がこちらに分からなかったこと。本土から来た米人観光客たちは、一層楽しんだようだった。

The high-speed boat heading out to sea was truly refreshing! From a higher vantage point than I imagined, I could see the beautiful ocean and the city of Waikiki all the way to Diamond Head, and the view was absolutely stunning. The staff were also fun and friendly, speaking a bit of broken Japanese like "Bocchan, daijoubu?" I was completely dropped into the sea, but it was not scary at all and was actually a lot of fun. It was my first time parasailing, and I made the most wonderful memories! Thank you very much.

沖に向かう高速ボートから実に爽快！
想像より高い位置から美しい海とワイキキの街からダイヤモンドヘッドまでが一望出来、その眺めはまさに絶景でした。
スタッフの方々も楽しく親切で「ボチャン、大丈夫？」などと片言楽の日本語も。
ボチャン〜と思いっきり海に落とされましたが、それも怖いことはな全く楽しかったです。初パラセーリングでしたが最高に素敵な思い出が出来ました！
ありがとうございました。

No matter how high the waves were, we set sail without any issues, and just being on the boat was a lot of fun. I wasn't sure how high 150 meters would be, but it was much higher than I imagined, and I could see all of Waikiki. The staff spoke English, but I could understand them through gestures, and the participants were from various countries. I'm glad I decided to join. I think there's a special meaning in doing this in Hawaii.

多少波が高くても問題なく出航し、ボートに乗っているだけでも、とても楽しかったです。
150mがどれくらいか見当がつかず参加したのですが、想像以上に高く、ワイキキが一望出来ました。
スタッフさんは英語ですが、ジェスチャーでなんとなく分かりますし、参加した方も色々な国の方ばかりでした。
思い切って参加して良かったです。
ハワイでやる事に意味があると思います。

The view of Waikiki's ocean and Diamond Head was absolutely stunning! There were some incidents, like a strong wind causing a brief interruption and me getting seasick, but the captains were experts, so I felt at ease. Thanks to the cheerful captains, it was enjoyable until the very end. The photo session I requested for $40 resulted in over 100 pictures, which I had a great time looking back on. Thank you so much!!

ワイキキの海とダイヤモンドヘッドを一望できて最高の景色でした！
風が強くなった時に一度中断したり、自分が船酔いしてしまったりとアクシデントもありましたが、キャプテン達がエキスパートなので、安心して過ごすことができました。また、陽気なキャプテン達のおかげで最後まで楽しかったです。
40ドルでお願いした写真撮影も、100枚以上撮ってくださってて、楽しく見返しました。
本当にありがとうございました！！

Snorkeling is a family favorite and we booked a tour with Island Splash Tours as part of a birthday celebration. It was such an absolute pleasure going out with Captain Preston and Alex. We are in Hawaii fairly often and are looking forward to future tours with them. We really appreciated their knowledgeable approach to staying safe and making it fun for all of us. It was much more of a private experience compared to the tours we have taken on the larger boats and it made it all the more special. Everything from helping us select the best time of day to making sure everyone had a wonderful experience was done with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. A “little bird” even told Captain Preston about a family song that he made a point to play as we can back into the harbor. We all felt spoiled and loved every moment of our tour. As a Navy family we also really appreciate the military discount he offers. Completely recommend Island Splash Tours to anyone thinking about a boat or snorkeling tour!!

My friends and I all went together (ages 21-23) and had the best time! The crew on board was so lively, and fun. The music also kept us dancing the whole time

Great 2.5 hours on and in the water. The catamaran was the best way to sail / boat to the location. On the way we saw dolphins and then several turtles at the site. Plenty of time to snorkle and experience sea turtles and view the fish. Would highly recommend the Mana Kai Catamaran as it has less people, more exciting with waves and sailing and the crew was fantastic!

I originally had a fear of heights, but I was able to enjoy this without much feeling of floating! If you're going to do it, I recommend the 150m option! The view is stunning! When coming down, they lower you slowly, but you do get dropped into the sea once, which is also quite fun. They do take photos, but it costs $40. Since that's expensive, we tried to take as many pictures ourselves as possible (though we couldn't capture the view from below). You will get wet, so it's best to wear clothes that can get wet (like a swimsuit). The boat sways quite a bit, so if you get motion sickness, definitely bring some motion sickness medication! (You can get water at the counter.)

元々高所恐怖症でしたが、こちらはあまり浮遊感なく楽しめました！
どうせやるなら１５０ｍをおすすめします！すごい景色の眺めがキレイです！
また降りるときはゆっくり下げてくれますが、一度海に落とされますｗそれもまた面白いです。
写真は撮ってくれますが40ドルでした。高いので私たちはできる限り自分たちで撮るようにしました。（下からの眺めは撮れませんが）
濡れるので濡れてもいい服（水着等）で行くのがおすすめです。
船はかなり揺れるので酔う方は酔い止め必須です！（お水はカウンターで貰えました）

It took about 30 minutes from the time we sat down for our meal and received our drinks until we went to the buffet. The roast beef at the buffet was delicious. The show was so enjoyable that I was completely captivated. I experienced a lot during this trip, but this was my favorite.

食事の席に着いてドリンクが来てからビュッフェを取りに行くまでの時間が30分ほどありました。ビュッフェはローストビーフが美味しかったです。ショーは全てが見入ってしまう程楽しかったです。この旅で色々体験しましたが一番お気に入りでした。

Cruising while listening to upbeat Western music like reggae is the best! Since 90% of the people are foreigners, the atmosphere is very cheerful and different from cruising in Japan. I go on board every time I come to Hawaii.

レゲエなどノリの良い洋楽を聞きながらのクルージングは最高ですね。9割が外国の方であるせいか、日本でのクルージングとは異なりとても陽気で雰囲気は最高です。
ハワイに来ると毎回乗船しています。

The scenery was very beautiful, and I could feel the sea breeze, which made it a lot of fun. From below, it looked quite high and a bit scary at first, but it wasn't scary at all. There were several other participants as well, but while waiting, the boat swayed quite a bit, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication before the experience.

景色がとても綺麗で、海風も感じることが出来とてま楽しかったです。高さは下から見ると結構高くて怖そうだなと最初は思いましたが、全然怖くなかったです。他にも参加者が何組かいましたが、待っている間に結構船が揺れるので船酔いしやすいかたには酔い止めを体験前に服用されることをオススメします。

I wasn't very interested in the show at first, but I made a reservation anyway. However, once I participated, I had a great time and I'm glad I went! My family enjoyed it as well! It was also nice to have time to take photos with the performers after the show!

あまりショーは興味がなかったのですが、とりあえず予約しました。
しかし参加してみるとすごい楽しく、参加して良かったです！家族も楽しんでおりました！
ショーの後に演者と写真をとれる時間もまたよかったです！

During the cruise, I encountered a pod of dolphins!! They were jumping around just like you would see in an aquarium, and it was amazing! Also, there were plenty of sea turtles swimming around, which was great!!

I was expecting to see tropical fish like Nemo since it was a glass-bottom boat, but I only saw some dark, plain fish, which was a bit disappointing. However, I'm glad I participated!

クルーズ途中、イルカの群れに出会えました！！
まるで水族館で見るようにイルカ達が飛び跳ねていてすごかったです！
また、当たり前にウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました！！

グラスボートということでニモをはじめとした熱帯魚が見れると期待していましたが、黒っぽい地味な魚がみられるだけでそこはちょっと残念でした。
でも参加してよかったです！
