All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

Everything about the food, the live performance, and the staff was perfect. It was the best. They made my night in Honolulu unforgettable, and I walked back to the hotel feeling great after a few drinks. If I get to return to Hawaii, I will definitely come back. Thank you, Beltora!

食事もライブもスタッフもすべて言うことなし
最高でした
ホノルルの夜を最高の一夜にしてもらって、ほろ酔いで最高の気分でホテルまで歩きました。
また、ハワイに帰れたら、必ずいきます
また、ベルトラさん、よろしくお願いします

Awesome crew! This was an amazing and fun experience for my family.

I went parasailing for the first time.
The view of Hawaii was absolutely amazing!!

If you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must!

初めてパラセーリングをしました。
ハワイの景色を一望できてとても最高でした！！

乗り物酔いするかたは酔い止め薬必須です！

The crew were both helpful and entertaining. Would definitely go out on this trip again.

My first parasailing experience. I was nervous, but once I was up, the view was breathtaking. It was over in no time. If you get seasick, you should be careful.

初めてのパラセイリング。ドキドキだったけど、上がってしまえばもう絶景。あっという間でした。船酔いする人は気をつけた方がいいです。

Awesome crew. Everyone had a great time snorkeling and sailing.

The captain and crew were great and had a good vibe! The foreign passengers I sailed with were also fun, making it a very enjoyable experience! The view from above, looking at Waikiki, was absolutely amazing!

キャプテン、クルーの方、ノリが良くて良かった！
また一緒に乗船した外国人の方もノリが良くて非常に楽しかった！
景色も上空からワイキキを眺められて最高に気持ちよかった！

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was a wonderful sunset cruise like I have never seen before. There were hardly any Japanese people, mostly folks from the mainland, but everyone, regardless of age, was excited, drinking, dancing, and swimming. It was a very enjoyable two hours.

私が何度もハワイへ行ってますが、今までに見た事のない、素晴らしいサンセットクルーズでした。日本人がほとんどおらず、メインランドの方々でしたが、年齢問わずみんな盛り上がり、飲んで踊って、泳いでととても楽しい2時間でした。

I was looking for a hula dance show and found this one! The buffet and drinks were delicious, and the content of the show was very enjoyable, so I was very satisfied. However, there were two disappointing points.

The first was that there was quite a bit of time between the meeting time and when the buffet started. We had a tight schedule before, so we rushed over, but I thought it would have been fine to take our time if we had known about this gap.

The second point was that the show tickets indicated that VIP seats were on the first floor and normal seats were on the second floor, but in reality, the VIP seats were up to the 3rd and 4th rows, and everything beyond that was normal. Given the significant price difference, I wondered if the quality of the seats was really that different.

Overall, I was satisfied, but I felt that I might not have needed a VIP ticket after all.

フラダンスショーを探していて、このショーを見つけました！
ブッフェとドリンクも美味しく、ショーの内容もとても楽しくて大満足でした。
ただ、残念だった点が2点あります。
一つ目は集合時間からブッフェが始まるまでに時間がかなりあったこと。私たちは前の予定がギリギリまであったので、急いで向かいましたが、この時間があるなら急がなくて良かったなと思いました。
二つ目は、ショーのチケットはVIPが1階席、ノーマルが2階席と書いてありましたが、実際は3.4列目までがVIP、それ以降がノーマルで、こんなに価格差があるのに、それほど席のよさは変わらないかも？と思いました。
全体としては満足ですが、VIPチケットでなくてもよかったなと思うところもありました。

Drinks were delicious, sun was shining and the views were great!

Loved the view from above! Gorgeous day on the water

Waikiki Dive Center delivered an exceptional diving experience. Let me begin this review by stating that I was genuinely terrified to scuba dive before this experience. I had no prior certification or training classes under my belt. As a complete beginner, I received comprehensive instruction alongside fellow novices in basic skills on dry land before embarking on the boat to the dive site. Moreover, the dive center provided an ample selection of equipment for trial, including fins and wet-suits of varying sizes.

Once everyone confirmed the fit of their gear, we were transported via a clean and well-maintained bus to the boat that would ferry us to the diving site. The boat itself was well-stocked with water and snacks. Upon reaching the dive site by boat, divers were organized into groups based on skill level. Each group, consisting of 1-4 divers, was accompanied by a seasoned instructor. Novices such as myself were able to practice our skills at the ocean's surface while fully geared up.

My group's instructor, Nick, displayed remarkable patience and a genuine concern for the safety of each diver, effectively assuaging my nervousness. He consistently ensured that each diver was doing well through hand signals and emphasized the importance of equalizing pressure to prevent discomfort or injury. Furthermore, although not directly assigned to my group, instructors Abby, Chad, and Yoshi were tremendously helpful and displayed an unwavering commitment to safety. The rules and regulations were clearly explained multiple times, ensuring that everyone was well-informed.

Since the dive "package" we opted for included two oxygen tanks per person, I used the first dive/tank as a warm-up, which significantly enhanced the enjoyment of the second dive. Additionally, I was thrilled to bring my Go-Pro along for the second dive, capturing breathtaking pictures.

Overall, I thoroughly relished this experience and wholeheartedly recommend it, particularly to beginners.

Reading the reviews, it was definitely the right choice to take motion sickness medication. The boat rocked more than I expected and it was a bit scary, but I didn't get seasick.

Even for someone like me who isn't good with thrill rides, I was able to enjoy parasailing!

Also, I thought I would get wet, so I only brought the bare minimum (smartphone, tip, hotel key card, towel), but I wish I had brought my credit card to pay for the optional photo shoot.

口コミを読んで、酔い止めを飲んで行って正解でした。船は思ったより揺れて怖かったですが、酔うことはありませんでした。
絶叫系が苦手な私でも、パラセイリングを楽しむことができました！

また、濡れると思い最低限の荷物(スマホ、チップ、ホテルのカードキー、タオル)しか持っていきませんでしたが、オプションの写真撮影代を支払うためにクレカを持っていけばよかったと思いました。

It started 30 minutes late due to the rain. But before we knew it, the boat arrived, and we quickly set off into the open sea! For those who get seasick, it's advisable to take some medication because the ride had a lot of floating sensations, haha.

About five groups boarded, and one by one, we were connected for parasailing and soared into the sky. Each group enjoyed about five minutes before being dropped into the sea and collected back onto the boat, haha. Both the time on the boat and during parasailing were so much fun, and it was an amazing experience!

雨が降ってて予定より30分遅れで始まりました。でもあっとゆうまに船の迎えが来てあっとゆうまに沖の方まで出発！
船酔いする人は薬飲んどいたほうがいいくらい浮遊感たっぷりの乗り心地でした笑笑
それから5組くらい乗り込み順番にパラセーリングに繋がれて空へと舞い上がっていき1組5分くらい楽しんだら海へジャボーンと落とされて船へと回収されます笑
船に乗ってる時もパラセーリング中もどっちも楽しくて最高に良い思いです！

We were quite anxious because we couldn't speak any English, but it was a bit reassuring to see other Japanese people there.
There were a total of five groups boarding, and even though we couldn't communicate well, the crew's vibe made it enjoyable for everyone. We took motion sickness medication, but it was quite bumpy, so if you're sensitive, please make sure you're in good condition!
The view from 150 meters was truly spectacular! The landing when coming down was also fun! I want to go again!

私たちはまったく英語ができないので不安でしたが、他にも日本人がいてちょっと安心
計5組で乗り込み、言葉は通じないながらもクルーのノリもあり皆で楽しめました酔い止めを飲んでいきましたが、かなり揺れるので弱い方は万全の体調で望んでください！
150mからの眺めは本当に絶景です！降りるときの着水も楽しかった～！また行きたいです！

During our honeymoon last year, I was interested in this show, and I participated during this trip. The buffet was filling, and I almost missed the desserts, so I rushed in and enjoyed them. There was also a show during the meal, with hula shows, rock shows, and fire dances on the stage, which kept us entertained one after another! Thank you very much!

昨年のハネムーン時に、こちらのショーが気になり、今回の旅行時に参加させて頂きました。
ビュッフェはお腹いっぱいになり、デザートに気付かず、慌てて駆け込み、詰め込みで堪能しました
食事中にもショーがあり、館内のステージでも
フラショーや、ロッキンショー、ファイヤーダンスと、次々と楽しませてくれる構成で楽しかったです！　有難うございました！

Great experience if you are looking for budget friendly turtle snorkeling experience. The guys were very friendly, nice and cared for the group. The time was perfect. Long enough to swim with turtles and short enough for people who got sea sick. Highly recommend. Thank you for making this budget friendly experience available.

The captain has a charming personality, so even though we don't speak Japanese, we can manage through feelings! We exchanged videos with a Japanese person♪

日本語は通じませんが愛嬌があるキャプテンなのでフィーリングでなんとかなります！
日本人の方と動画を撮りあって交換しました♪

The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.

高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念

It was the perfect welcome activity for the family! The cruise was relaxing, the crew very friendly. It rained very briefly which was ok because it gave us a beautiful rainbow. We loved the magical sunset colours.

The pick up point was very accessible, right on Waikiki beach which is just walking distance from our hotel (and most hotels). Prepare to get your feet and/or legs wet when boarding and getting off but it was part of the experience! The price is also reasonable and allows you to bring drinks of your choice.

Would do it again if we’re back.

This was my first time participating. I felt really good with the free drinks, and when I went to the front of the boat, I got soaked from the waves. However, everyone else participating was also wearing happy smiles and was very friendly, which made me feel even better. The weather was great that day, and I got to see the most beautiful sunset. I decided that I would participate again next time. Thank you!

今回、初めて参加しました。フリードリンクでとても気分良くなり、船の前方まで行くと、波を直に浴びてびしょ濡れになりましたが、参加されてる他の方々もみんなハッピーな笑顔でとてもフレンドリーでさらに気分が上がりました。この日は天候も良く最高に綺麗な夕日が見れました。次回もまた参加しようと思いました。ありがとうございました！

Wonderful, my family was very happy and excited, an unforgettable experience

Great service and hospitality. This is well worth your time and money.

The experience was absolutely very worth it with a big crew. We had a wonderful time with Jason & Courtney very very lovely host / captain. The boat was beautifully finished. Unforgettable experience 3-4 hours is absolutely perfect. We saw dolphins, sea turtles & fishes.

Setting sail as the sun begins to set. As we head out to sea, the full view of Waikiki's skyline along with Diamond Head comes into sight. During this time, the sun sets behind the western mountains. By the time the western sky turns orange and the heavens become purple, we arrive at the dock. It's a brief experience, but this tour allows you to enjoy Waikiki from the sea. Give it a try!

陽が傾き始めたころの出航。
沖に出るほどにダイヤモンドヘッドとともにワイキキの街並みの全容が眼に入ってきます。
この時期は、西の山並みに陽が沈みます。
西の空がオレンジ色に、そして天空が紫色になるころ着岸。
僅かな時間ですが海からのワイキキを体験できるツアーです。
一度お試しを。

I took the Red Line and got off at the Honolulu Museum of Art, then rode from the museum to the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. It took some time, but I was able to stop at several places to take photos, and although the explanations were in English, it was nice to enjoy a leisurely sightseeing experience.

レッドラインに乗ってワイキキ美術館で降りてまたワイキキ美術館からワイキキショッピングプラザまで乗りました。時間はかかってしまいますが、
途中何ヶ所か止まって写真撮れたり、英語ですが説明をしてくれたり、のんびり観光できて良かったです。

○Positive Points
- The view was absolutely stunning! I often saw paragliders from the beach, and I thought the starting point was nearby, but it was actually further out than I expected. There were 5-6 groups on the same small boat, and it felt great to be out in the wind and waves!
- It was a windy day, so we started an hour later than our reservation. They checked if it was okay to leave late and confirmed that we didn't have a dinner reservation, which allowed for the time change!
- There are many points to note below, but it was so much fun! I felt like a bird and would love to go again, so if you're interested, definitely give it a try!

●Points to Note
- Everything is basically in English, so be prepared for that... (For those taking photos, there were some people who spoke simple Japanese on the boat.)
- I experienced more seasickness than I expected, and the wind during paragliding can make it worse, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's best to take medication just in case. I felt a bit nauseous while paragliding...
- Be careful about the meeting place! There's a large parking lot between the sea and the pool next to the hotel. The reception is in a small hut along the seaside within that parking lot, but it was hard to find... (I'll upload a photo of the reception hut, so please take a look.)
- If you have a GoPro or something similar, it might be good to bring it. Taking photos with a smartphone can be risky if you drop it, and it’s hard to take it out of your pocket to shoot without feeling nervous.

○良かった点
・とにかく絶景！ビーチからよくパラセイリングをしているのを見えていたので、近場かと思ったら、思ったより沖でのスタート。同じ船に5〜6組乗っていて、小型船ですので、風や波を受けとても気持ち良かったです！
・風の強い日で、予約より1時間遅い時間でのスタートとなりました。その中で遅れて出発でもOKか、ディナーの予約はしてないか確認してくれての時間変更になりました！
・下記注意点たくさんありますが、、とっても楽しかったです！鳥になったようなまた行きたいので、興味ある方はぜひ！


●注意点
・基本全て英語なのでちょっと覚悟が必要・・・（写真撮影の方、船の中でのコミュニケーションは簡単な日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃいました）
・思った以上に船酔い、パラセーリングでも風で煽られるので、酔い止めが気になる方は迷ったら飲んだ方が正解です。ちょっとパラセイリングの上空で気持ち悪くなりました・・・
・集合場所は要注意！海とホテル横のプールと挟まれたところに大きな駐車場があります。その駐車場の中、海沿いの小さな小屋が受付ですが、全く分からず・・・（受付の小屋は写真アップしておきますので、ご覧ください。）
・Go Proとかあれば持っていくと良いかもしれません。スマホ撮影は落としたら・・・とか勇気がないとポケットから出して撮影は考えずらいです。。

The weather was nice, and the waves by the shore weren't too bad, but once we headed out to sea, raised the mast, and started sailing, the waves began to rise, and the thrilling experience of getting splashed was so much fun. We got quite wet, but by the time we returned to shore, we were completely dry. My husband and I talked about how if the price were a bit lower (it felt very much like Hawaii), we would be happy to go every time.

天気も良く岸辺の波は大したことはなかったのですが、沖合に出てマストを上げて航行が始まったころから何が高くなり始めてバッサーンと波を被りながらのヨット体験はとってもスリリングで楽しかったです。
結構濡れましたが岸に戻るころにはすっかり乾いていました。
もう少しお値段が安かったら（とてもHawaiiらしくて）毎回乗ってもいいねと主人と話しています。

My family had so much fun turtle snorkeling. My son got scared going in the middle of the ocean but the staff had him on his board and took him around to see the turtles and taught him so many fun facts. We had a special treat of having dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of snorkeling with turtles.

This is my second time on the Kamataran. I repeated it because I had a great experience four years ago, and it was still amazing.

Last time, I encountered a pod of dolphins, which was a wonderful memory. This time, encountering sea turtles was the highlight!

今回2回目のカマタラン号
4年前に乗ったカマタラン号が良くてリピートしましたがやっぱり最高でした。

前回はイルカの群れと遭遇していい思い出。
今回は海亀と遭遇最高でした。
