All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

I participated with my best friend couple, making four of us. There were few Japanese people, which added to the exotic feel. Then, everyone jumped into the water off Waikiki! I can't swim well, but I jumped into the beautiful sea. I was nervous, but it was fun. Enjoying the swim and sunset had a different charm compared to a big boat, and I made great memories.

親友夫婦と4人で参加しました。日本人は少なく異国感も充分。するとワイキキの沖でなんと皆んな飛び込むではないですか！
自分はまともに泳げないけど綺麗な海に飛び込んで､焦ったけど楽しかった。
大きな船とは違う魅力でスイム&サンセットを満喫､いい思い出が出来ました。

We had so much family fun! Such a beautiful experience! Thank you so much to all the crew that gave us instruction and kept a very good eye on us! We would definitely recommend this fun activity! We have ao many beautiful pictures!

Even with last-minute reservations, you can feel secure as they confirm everything properly via email and phone. I was a bit anxious about the reception location since there was no sign (as mentioned in the reservation confirmation), but following the map sent with the confirmation helped me find it.

It mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, but I ended up waiting with nothing to do until the start time, so the purpose of the early arrival was unclear.

The snorkeling experience starts with the instructor properly explaining how to handle the equipment, which is reassuring for beginners. I recommend it for those who want to safely try it out nearby. The water wasn't very clear, though.

直前予約でも、メールと電話できちんと確認されるので安心です。
当日の受付場所は、案内版がなくて（ないと予約確認書に書いてあります）不安でしたが、予約確認書に送られてくる地図に従うとたどり着くことができます。
開始30分前に来るようにと書いてあったのですが、何もすることなく開始時間まで待たされて、30分前集合の意図が不明でした。

シュノーケルは、インストラクターがきちんと器具の扱いを含めて説明をしてくれてから始まるので、初心者には安心です。
近場で安全に、とりあえず試してみたいという方にお勧めします。
海は、あまりクリアではありませんでした。

The food was a buffet, so it felt about right, but the show was amazing! I thought the wait for the food was a bit long. The show was something you have to see when you come to Hawaii; it was truly fantastic!

お料理はブッフェだしこんなもんかなー、という感じでしたが、ショーが最高でした！
料理が出てくるまでの時間が少し長かったかな、と思います。
ショーは、ハワイにきたらこれは見なきゃ！という感じで、とても最高でした！

The staff at the Outrigger's Holokai Catamaran were very pleasant, and once we set sail, the crew's service was also wonderful. We enjoyed the swells on the yacht while sipping rum mixed with passion fruit juice.

Around 7:30, the fireworks from the Hilton began, and we got more cocktails from the all-you-can-drink option, which added to the excitement.

As Japanese people, we might be a bit shy, but we enjoyed the cheerful and lively atmosphere created by the Western guests.

It became a very good memory. Thank you!

アウトリガーのホロカイカタマラン受付スタッフの対応が感じ良くて、出航すると、船頭？さんたちの対応が、また、素晴らしく、ヨットで波によるうねりを楽しみながら、ラム酒のパッションフルーツジュース割りをいただきました。
7時半過ぎ位から、ヒルトンの花火が始まり、飲み放題のカクテルをおかわりして、盛り上がりました。
我々日本人は恥ずかしがり屋かもしれませんが、西洋人の方々の陽気で明るい、多騒ぎを楽しませてもらいました。
とても良い思い出になりました。
ありがとうございました。

We went with a group of good friends. We had such a good time. The waves were perfect. Will go again when we are in Oahu.

By far the best sunset cruise ever!!
Very kind and friendly staff, amazing service. Great vibes. Recommend to bring shoes that you can get wet.
Drinks were great!

Staff were good. Clean boat. Beverage ok. Tour was not interesting.

I was afraid of heights, but it wasn't scary at all. It was a really fun time. The weather was great, and I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from up high. I definitely want to do it again!

高い所が苦手でしたが、全然怖くなかったです。
とっても楽しい時間でした。
天気も良くて高い所からワイキキを眺めることができてぜひともまたやってみたいです〜

I participated with my wife.

It was a one-hour tour on a small boat. My wife is prone to motion sickness, but this time she didn't feel sick, possibly because the waves weren't high. Since the boat is small and there is some rocking, those who are prone to motion sickness should not forget to take motion sickness medication.

The others on board were at an altitude of 120 meters, while we were at 150 meters, but we didn't feel much of a difference, and there was no difference in the operation either, so the 120-meter option might have been more cost-effective.

There wasn't much fear at high altitude, and I think you can enjoy the scenery slowly! On a clear day, we could see the entire city of Honolulu, and it felt great.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but at the end, we were asked for a tip, which was a bit disappointing. I was naturally prepared to give one, so I wanted to do it pleasantly. Well, this might be something that Japanese people often forget to do. I understand that, but because of that, I gave it a four-star rating.

妻と二人で参加しました。

小型のボートで１時間ほどのツアーでした。妻は酔いやすいですが、今回は波が高くなかったのか、酔わず。ボートは小さいのと、揺られる時間もあるので、酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

同乗した方々は高度120メートル、私たちは高度150メートルでしたが、体感では違いを感じず、また運営でも差がなかったので、高度120メートルの方がコスパが良かったかもしれません。

上空での怖さはあまりなく、ゆっくり景色を楽しめると思います！晴れた日でホノルルの市街地全体が見渡せて、気持ちよかったです。

総じて満足のいくツアーでしたが、最後にチップをせびられ、萎えました。当然に渡そうと準備してたので、気持ちよく渡したかった。。まぁこればかりは日本人は渡しそびれが多いのでしょうね。仕方ない気もしますが、その分四つ星評価といたしました。

The Starlight Luau changed locations since the last time we visited Hawaii, which made the experience more intimate and explosive. Our family felt like they were a part of the show. The food was exquisite, and the dancers were more than entertainers; they passionately expressed their culture and made you feel like family.

Beautiful night, crew had loads of energy made the night that much better. Would recommend to others and do again.

I went alone.
It was my first time riding the waves, and I was very moved.
When a good wave came, I was pushed from behind, and it felt like I was standing up while riding the wave. Even someone as clumsy as me was able to stand. I fell many times, but it was really fun.
Some people might not try surfing.
I had a great time being taught by very cheerful and friendly people.

一人で行きました。
はじめて波に乗って、とても感動しました。
いい波が来ると後ろから押してもらって、波に乗ってる途中で立つという感じです。どんくさい私でも立てました。何回も落ちたけど、とても楽しかったです。
人によっては、波乗りまではしないのかもしれません。
とても陽気でフレンドリーな方に教えてもらえて、楽しかったです。

It was a bit far, but I was able to walk from Waikiki along the sandy beach. I thought it would be scarier, but it was very pleasant! However, the boat sways quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get motion sickness. You also need to be careful about meals before and after.

The ticket booth was a bit hard to find, but a kind person nearby helped me out.

I don't understand English, but it was totally fine! My mother, who is in her 60s, was also very happy.

少し遠かったですが、砂浜沿いにワイキキから歩いていけました
もっと怖いかと思っていたのですが、とても気持ちよかったです！
ただ、船がかなり揺れるので乗り物酔いのある人にはきついかもしれません。前後の食事にも注意が必要です。
チケットブースが少し分かりづらかったのですが、近隣の親切な人が教えてくださいました。

英語はわかりませんが、全然大丈夫でした！
60代の母もとても喜んでいました。

There were just the two of us Japanese people, and while drinking Mai Tai for $5, we enjoyed a pleasant time on a cruise with the refreshing sea breeze that passed by in no time.

日本人は我々2人でした、マイタイ5ドルを飲みながら海風が気持ち良くてあっという間のクルーズで楽しい時間を過ごせました。

It was a wonderful show that conveyed the performers' earnest desire to please the audience. It was breathtaking and moving. Thank you.

出演者たちの､客を喜ばせようとする懸命思いが伝わって来る素晴らしいショーでした。圧巻でした｡感動しました。ありがとう

The service was good, and the food was delicious. The pineapple brulee for dessert was especially exquisite. During the meal, there is usually live music playing, so you might find it a bit difficult to have a conversation.

サービスは良好で、料理も美味しかったです。特にデザートのパイナップルのブリュレは絶品でした。
料理中は基本音楽をライブ演奏してるので、話はしずらいと感じることもあるかもです。

The crew was awesome. Easy boarding from the beach. The view…stunning!
Price was fair.

It was absolutely amazing. I chose the 150m option, and it was the right decision. There were no Japanese people in the same group, but someone from Mexico talked to me, and we exchanged our smartphones to take pictures and videos of each other. I was also able to buy photos taken by the photographer for $40. There are so many pictures and videos from various angles, and just looking back at them is enjoyable.

とにかく最高でした。150mの方にしましたが、正解でした。
同じグループに日本人の方はいませんでしたが、メキシコ？の方が話しかけてくださり、互いのスマホを預けて写真や動画を撮り合いました。
40ドルでカメラマンが撮った写真も買うことができました。様々な角度の写真や動画がたくさんで見返してるだけでも楽しいです。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to the Kani Ka Pila Grille. The atmosphere is very enjoyable. We went as a group of four and ordered different dishes to share, and everything was delicious. The desserts were also large and tasty, which made us very satisfied. However, since our seats were behind a pillar, we couldn't see the performance at all. After finishing our meal, we moved our chairs to a spot where we could see and enjoyed the show. This is definitely a place I would consider visiting again.

ハワイは何度も来てますがカニ・カ・ピラ・グリルは初めて行きました。
雰囲気はとても楽しいです。
四人で行きましたので食事も違う物を注文してシェアしました、どれもとても美味しかったです。
デザートも大きくて美味しくて満足。
席が柱の後ろだった為に前の演奏は全く見えませんでした。
食事が終わってから椅子を見える場所まで移動させて楽しみました。
次も行く可能性高いお店でした。

This is my fourth time using this service, and each time I have had a wonderful experience that has never let me down. While sailing, we encountered a huge rainbow that connected 180 degrees, and afterwards, we all cheered and celebrated wanting to see it again. It was the best experience.

今回４度めの利用ですが毎回期待を裏切らない素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。セイリング中１８０度つながる大きな虹に遭遇しその後もう一度と皆で歓声を上げて喜びました。最高の体験でした。

What an exciting adventure for our first-time parasailors! Our 8 & 5 year old granddaughters had the time of their lives parasailing with their Grammy! They loved seeing a green sea turtle as well as all the wonderful scenery of Oahu! The crew was kind and humorous. We had a wonderful experience!

We had so much fun. The crew were friendly and helpful. The fireworks were great. A perfect start to our Hawaiian holiday.

Everything was great, staff was friendly. We went first thing in the morning so we got the boat to our selfs. Definitely not as scary as it seems! And I was SUPER scared at first, but I think I would definitely do it again! Recommend to get the pictures, they came out great!

My wife and I had a great time on the cruise. The weather was pleasant and the fireworks and the views of the city at night were spectacular. The food was good and the drinks were very good. The sailboat was clean and comfortable. We both felt that the captain and crew did a really nice job. We would do it again if we if we ever go to Oahu.

It was the best experience for my first time. The crew members were fun and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. It became a wonderful memory of Hawaii for both my wife and me. There was also a photo session (for an additional fee), and we are still enjoying it after returning home.

初めての体験で最高でした。
クルーのお兄さん(？)も楽しい方々で、盛り上げて頂きました。家内共々良いハワイの思い出となりました。写真撮影もあり(別料金)、帰宅後も楽しんでます。

The fusion of hula dancing and rock shows. This is exactly the show I wanted to see in Hawaii. During dinner, a ukulele singer came right in front of us and sang "Forever and Ever" in Japanese, which was moving!

Many decades ago, I saw a Polynesian show, but I got a bit bored with the long hula dance and fire show. The heartfelt sound of the ukulele still lingers in my ears.

The subsequent Rock-a-Hula show featured wonderful dances and songs by impersonators of Elvis and Michael, along with hula dancing, fire dancing, modern dance, and zombie dance, showcasing a wide range of performances that captivated me. I was also impressed by the high level of the dancers!

And the best part was that I was in a VIP seat at the end of the stairs, so I got to shake hands with Elvis, which was exhilarating!! After the show, I was able to take photos with Michael and Elvis, creating truly enjoyable memories of my trip to Hawaii.

I am grateful to the staff for organizing such a wonderful event.

フラダンスとロックショーの融合。これこそがハワイで観たかったショーです。ディナー時、目の前にウクレレ歌手が来てくださり、（君といつまでも）を日本語で歌ってくださり、感激！
何十年も前にポリネシアンショーを拝見しましたが、長いフラダンスとファイヤーショーに最後は少し飽きてしまいました。心のこもったウクレレの音色は今も耳に残っています。
そのあとのロック・ア・フラショーは、エルビスとマイケルのそっくりさんによる素晴らしいダンスと歌に加えてフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、モダンダンス、ゾンビダンスと幅広いジャンルのパフォーマンスが観られ、どれも引き付けられました。ダンサーさんたちのレベルの高さにも感服！
そして、一番嬉しかったのは階段端のVIP席だったので、エルビスさんと握手できて、大興奮！！
ショー後もマイケルさん、エルビスさんとの写真撮影をしていただき、ほんとにハワイ旅行の楽しい思い出になりました。
このような企画考えていただき、スタッフさんたちに感謝です。

The location is great, and it was just a short walk from the Sheraton. It's a bit hard to find since it's located at the back of the building. After taking the 90-minute course, my range of motion improved, and I was able to walk very lightly.

立地が良く、シェラトンから歩いてすぐ行けました。
建物無いの奥なので、すこし分かりにくさはあります。
90分コースを受けた後は体の可動域が広がり、とても軽やかに歩けました。

We departed from the hotel (Moana Surfrider) at 7:30 for an 8:30 meeting. If you go from Kalakaua Avenue through the Fort DeRussy Boardwalk, you'll reach the parking lot where you can easily see the parasailing sign. It took us about 40 minutes to walk there at a leisurely pace.

The view from 150 meters was spectacular, offering a panoramic view from Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head! I was able to take videos by putting my smartphone in a waterproof case. There was also a Japanese person on the same boat, so we took pictures of each other, saving the $40 photo fee.

I've visited Hawaii about five times, but this was my first parasailing experience. I recommend it for both first-timers and repeat visitors!

朝8:30集合のため、ホテル（モアナサーフライダー）を7:30に出発しました。カラカウア通りからフォート・デロシー・ボードウォークを通って行くと駐車場に出て、パラセーリングの看板が見えるので分かりやすいと思います。ゆっくり歩いて行けば40分程で着きました。
150mからの景色は絶景で、ワイキキビーチからダイヤモンドベッドまで一望できました！防水ケースにスマホを入れて動画も撮影できました。同じ船に日本人の方がいらっしゃったのでお互い写真を撮りあったので40ドルの撮影代を節約できました
ハワイは5回ほど訪れてますが、初めてのパラセーリングでした初めての方にもリピーターの方にもオススメです

A couple in their 50s tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) for the first time. The instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so we were able to move as we wished. My wife stood up right away. Although it seemed the wind was strong and the waves were high, we didn't mind since it was our first time and we didn't know any better. We had a great time. Towards the end, we were allowed to play around like we were surfing, which was really fun.

５０歳の夫婦初めてのSUP。
インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。
妻はスグに立ち上がってました。
風が強く波が高かったらしく、少し難しい環境だったらしいのですが、はじめましてなので分からないから関係無し。とても楽しむことができました。
最後の方はサーフィンの要領で遊ばせてくれて楽しかったですよ。
