All Reviews for Ala Moana Beach Park

I would definitely do this again when visiting. Our instructor Faith was so sweet and professional.

It was my first time on a Segway, and I had a great time! The Segway itself was fun, and I definitely want to ride it again. The instructor was very good at talking, and it was really enjoyable to go around with him! I also got to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hawaii, and I would love to join this tour again when I visit Hawaii next time!

初めてのセグウェイでしたが、とても楽しめました！
セグウェイ自体も面白く、また乗りたい！と思えましたが、インストラクターのお兄さんがとてもお話し上手で一緒に回ってとても楽しかったです！
ハワイの素敵な景色も満喫でき、またハワイに行った際には参加したいな、と思えるツアーでした！

My wife, my nephew, and I participated together. We drove to the store with a rental car, and there was parking available right in front of the store. As soon as we started practicing, my wife and I, having done this six times before, got the hang of it quickly, and then it was my nephew's turn, who was riding a Segway for the first time! Thanks to the guide's precise advice and thorough explanations, he was riding smoothly in just a few minutes. After that, some older participants were practicing as well, and they managed to ride quite quickly too. Once the practice was over, we started the ride in the order of the guide leading, followed by the older participants, my nephew, my wife, and then me! Riding the Segway felt amazing with the wind in our faces! The guide also took photos at key points, which made my nephew very happy. Finally, we had some free riding time at Kaka'ako Waterfront Park, which was also a lot of fun! However, I was worried because rain clouds were approaching from the Manoa area, and eventually, it started to rain. It wasn't heavy enough to need ponchos, but it looked like it might pour, and with the strong wind, it got cold, so we decided to retreat. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't take our time returning, but even so, riding the Segway was fantastic! My nephew, who usually doesn't show much emotion, said he wanted to ride again next time!! He seemed to have a lot of fun. In addition to the joy of riding the Segway, we enjoyed the guide's sightseeing information and friendly, attentive service throughout the ride. Thank you very much for everything, including the parking situation after the tour. I went to the store to express my gratitude, but they were not there, so I wanted to take this opportunity to convey my thanks.

私と妻、甥の3人で参加。
店にはレンタカーで行きましたが店の前に駐車場もありました。
練習を始めてすぐに私と妻はセグウェイ自体は6回目なのですぐにOKが出て次は初セグウェイの甥！
それでもガイドさんの的確なアドバイスと丁寧な説明でものの数分でスイスイと乗れていました。
その後、少し年配の方も練習していましたが結構短時間で乗れていました。
練習が終わるとガイドさんを先頭に年配の方、甥、妻、私の順にライド開始！
セグウェイで走ると風がめちゃくちゃ気持ちいい！！
要所要所で撮影もしてくれて甥も喜んでいました。
最後にカカアコウォーターフロントパークの広場で自由ライド！
これもまた楽しいのです♪
が、マノア方面から雨雲が近づいて来ていたので心配していたのですがとうとう降って来ました。
ポンチョを着るほどの雨ではなかったものの強く振りそうなのと風が強く寒くなって来たので撤退です。
ゆっくりと帰れなかったのは少し残念でしたがそれを差し引いてもやはりセグウェイは最高です！
普段あまり感情を出さない甥も次もまた乗りたい！！
とかなり楽しかったようです。
セグウェイの楽しさに加え、ガイドさんのライド中の観光案内や丁寧かつフレンドリーな対応で尚更楽しめました。
ツアー後の駐車場の件も含め、この度は本当にありがとうございました。
お礼をいいに店に行きましたが不在でしたのでこの場をお借りして伝えさせていただきます。

My 12 year enjoyed a lot. I am a non swimmer but with Faith guide it was a very good experience.

I never tried scuba diving and I can't swim well so I was worried but the scuba diving team was amazing.
They were very attentive and helped each diver in the group to ensure we had a great time in the water. The lagoon is in the city very close to Waikiki Beach but not crowded. It is a beautiful and quiet place. It felt very safe.
We saw corals and many different fish and we got a few short videos of the experience as part of the tour.
If you are looking for a safe introduction to scuba diving this guided diving tour is definitely a great choice.

I had a great time snorkelling in Honolulu.
I can't swim but thanks to Scott I managed to enjoy the experience.
The Magic Island Lagoon is a safe and beautiful place.
I really enjoyed the activity.

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.

For two hours, my feet hurt a little, but I enjoyed the Hawaiian sun, blue sky, and breeze. I heard it was a rare sunny day, and I was blessed with great weather for a wonderful experience.

２時間、少し足の裏がいたくなりましたが、ハワイの太陽と青空そして風にのって、楽しく過ぎていきました。久しぶりに晴天になった日と聞き、天候にも恵まれて素晴らしい体験ができました。

The guide was a Japanese person named Fumi! Riding the Segway was fun, but what I really liked was how he explained the details about the city and shared its history, which helped me learn more about Hawaii✨ He also took photos for us, and he was really good at it. If I come back to Hawaii, I will definitely do this again☺️

ガイドは日本人のフミさんでした！
セグウェイ自体も楽しいけど、詳しく街中のこと説明してくれたり歴史とか知れてハワイに詳しくなれるのがいい✨
あと写真をとってくれるんだけど、すごく上手でまたハワイきたら絶対やります☺️

I was surprised at how easy it was to ride a Segway during my first experience.

It felt like I could go anywhere, even to places that seemed a bit far for a walk, just by leaning my weight in the direction I wanted to go.

It's perfect for walking!

In the end, I just followed the guide and covered quite a distance while seeing various sights.

Segways are the best!!!

セグウェイ乗車初体験で、こんなに簡単に乗れるなんて、びっくりしました。

散歩だとチョット遠いなと感じる所へも、その方向へ体重を寄せるだけで向かい、行ってしまえる、という感じでした。

散歩用の足と言うにぴったりですね。

結局、ガイドの方について行くだけで、かなりな距離を走行し、色んな景色を見ることが出来ました。

セグウェイ最高！！！

I participated because I wanted to experience something that I can't enjoy in Japan during my first trip to Hawaii. It rained from the morning of the reserved day, and I received a call first thing in the morning from Genie, who suggested, "Since the weather is bad today, let's change it to tomorrow afternoon!" The change turned out to be a great decision, as the next day was clear and sunny! The staff were very polite and taught us well, and even though I was nervous, I was able to ride smoothly and had a very enjoyable two hours! It was fun to feel the wind. Genie was cute, kind, and the best! (＾＾) Since we were the first group this time, I want to join the Segway tour again with all my friends next time.

初めてのハワイで、日本では味わえないことがしたいと参加しました。
予約した日の朝から雨で、朝いちばんにお電話をいただき、「今日は天気が悪いから明日の午後に変更しよう！」とジーニーさんから提案していただき変更。変更が大当たりで翌日は快晴でした！
スタッフの方も丁寧に教えていただき、ドキドキしながらもスムーズに乗れるようになって、とても楽しい2時間をすごせました！風を切るのが楽しかったです。ジーニーさんもキュートで親切で最高でした！（＾＾）
今回私たちは先発隊だったので、次回は友達みんなでまたセグウェイツアーに参加したいと思っています。

The tour was led by a bright and fun guide who was great at teaching! The course covered a lot, from paintings to the sea, and the explanations were easy to understand. It was really wonderful!

教え方も上手で、明るく楽しいガイドさんのツアーでした！まわるコースも絵画から海まで盛り沢山で解説もわかりやすく、とてもよかったです！

Firstly, my stepmother, my sister, and I had SO MUCH FUN! We knew going into this that based on the price and other photos we saw of the tails that these would not come out looking like "realistic" mermaids.

They had a variety of stretchy fabric tails to choose from in various sizes and some to fit larger body types. You can tell the tails have been through the ringer a bit with stains and small tears but none of that showed in the pics.

Mickey was amazing! He was patient, funny, kind, and had many poses in mind. He used a gopro for all of the shots, taking mini videos for you to pull pictures from). The lagoon we shot at was a bit murky so couldn't really get that many underwater pictures.

We definitely got some good shots but I (a professional photographer including boudoir) had to give a lot of direction to him and to my family. I was also able to save/make a lot of the shots pretty due to photoshop. Otherwise there would have been lots of pics of us from overhead like my hair flip photos which should have been taken from much lower/straight on to get the full effect of the hair flip.

In no way was that Mickey's fault, though. I think the company mainly has men under their employment and mostly focuses on scuba diving so I can imagine none of the guys are vying to do the mermaid session and therefore make the youngest, newest employee do it. It's management/the owners that should consider having whoever does the mermaid experience have some photography training even if a cheap, online one. Mickey did AMAZING with the skillet he had and was an absolute pleasure to work with and be around.

At the end of the day, for the price, and the experience we'd definitely would recommend. Just know you're not walking away looking like a real mermaid with breathtaking photos. Lol.

I had a wonderful experience riding a Segway while enjoying the scenery at Kaka'ako and Magic Island, with fun explanations from our guide.

セグウェイに乗ってカカアコやマジックアイランドなど、ゆっくり景色を見ながら、楽しいガイドさんの説明などで楽しい思いを体験しました。

Last year, when I came to Hawaii, I rode a Segway for the first time and had so much fun, so this year I participated for the second time. A flashy van picked me up at the hotel, so I recognized it right away. When we arrived at the shop, we started with signing the consent forms and then put on helmets, and each person began practicing slowly. Since I rode last year, I was surprisingly able to get on easily. The Japanese-speaking instructor was very friendly and engaging. Participants wear headsets, so we can always hear the instructor, which is reassuring. We actually rode on the road, going from Ala Moana Beach Park around Magic Island and checking out the art in Kaka'ako! It was so much fun that I want to ride again! Finally, I gave a tip and was taken back to the hotel!

昨年ハワイに来た時に初めてセグウェイに乗って楽しかったので今年も2回目の参加となりました。ホテルに派手なバンで迎えに来てくれたので直ぐに分かりました。店に着いたらまず承諾書のサインなどから始まりヘルメットを着けて一人一人ゆっくり練習が始まります。昨年乗ったので意外とすんなり乗れました。日本語の上手な日系のインストラクターさんが楽しく話してくれます。参加者はインカムを付けているのでインストラクターの話は常に聞こえるので安心です。実際に道路を走ってアラモアナビーチパークからマジックアイランドを回ってカカアコのアートなどを回りました！
楽しいのでまた乗りたいです！
最後にチップを渡してホテルまで送ってもらいました！

Both my wife and I are in our late 50s, while the other two couples are younger. Although we both ride motorcycles, we were a bit worried about keeping up with the younger crowd. After a brief 10-minute lecture, we were ready to ride. I think the Japanese guide was very good at teaching.

Since we ride standing up, the view is great, and we moved at a jogging pace, which allowed us to look around leisurely. At Ala Moana Beach Park, we were allowed to go onto the grass, and it was a fun experience being waved at by people sunbathing on benches while also being chased away by park rangers.

The weather was nice, but the sun was strong, so I put on a UV-cut parka. The feeling of riding was indescribably strange; the sound of the motor just echoed with a whoosh. Without hard tires and suspension, the bumps in the road were transmitted directly to us.

We even had someone take a video of us while riding, and with a break in between, the roughly two hours flew by. Including tips, it was quite an expense, but it turned out to be a unique experience. I would love to ride again.

I enjoyed it more than I expected. You can leave your luggage at the office, but there is space in front of the Segway where you can store small bags. They suggest a tip of 15% or more, but it seems you don't have to follow that if you don't want to. By the way, tips can also be paid by card, which was helpful since I didn't have any cash.

予想していた以上に楽しめました。オフィスで荷物を預けられますが、セグウェイの前に収納できるスペースがあるので小さい荷物でしたらそこに入れられます。チップは15%〜の金額を提示してくれますが、気持ち次第なのでそれに従わなくても良さそうでした。ちなみにチップはカード払いも可能です。現金を持っていなかったので助かりました。

I arranged for a pickup from Waikiki, which made getting around easy. The Segway was easier to ride than I expected, and the weather was great with stunning views.

ワイキキからの送迎をつけてもらったので移動が楽でした。セグウェイは思ったよりも乗りやすくて、天気も良くて景色が最高でした。

The meeting place was hard to find, and I was made to wait a long time, which was disappointing, especially since I was treated rudely. However, I managed to make it in time for the start, and once I joined, the instructor who went into the sea with us was very kind and great. There weren't many fish, but the starfish were interesting. I also enjoyed the scenery of Magic Island.

待ち合わせ場所がわかりづらく、長く待たされたうえ、失礼な態度を取られたのが残念でした。何とか開始時間に間に合い，気を取り直して参加したところ、海に一緒に入ってくれたインストラクターはとても親切で良かったです。魚はたくさんではないけど，ヒトデがおもしろかった。マジックアイランドの景色も楽しめました。

My cousin and I booked this snorkeling tour as it was her first time and she didn't feel comfortable being out in super deep in the water or in a very open area. The lagoon where this snorkel tour is hosted is great as it has rock barrier walls all around to protect it from large waves. Our tour guide, Micki was so knowledgeable and was able to tell us so much about the fish and coral that we could see. This is a great tour for beginners or families with younger children who want to try out snorkeling! Would highly recommend it!

I participated yesterday on my honeymoon. I was grateful that they taught my wife and me how to use the Segway with great care and attention. The lecture was entirely in Japanese, and it was reassuring to know that it was featured on Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation. I was glad to join as they also shared local hidden spots and dining recommendations.

新婚旅行で昨日参加しました。妻と2人だけのペアで懇切丁寧にセグウェイを教えて下さって有り難かったです。完全日本語レクチャーで、有吉の夏休みでも取り上げられていたところで安心できました。現地ならではの穴場スポットやお食事処も教えていただき参加して良かったです。

When running through the city, there was ample safety support, and I felt comfortable enjoying it even with my child. They also took photos along the way, creating great memories. The staff had a cheerful atmosphere, which made me smile naturally. I would love to do it again!

街中を走る時、安全面で十分なフォローがあり、子供と一緒でも安心して楽しめました。途中で写真も撮ってくれて、いい思い出もできました。スタッフの方々も明るい雰囲気で、こちらも自然と笑顔になれます。またリピートしたいです！

I experienced a 2-hour Magic Island tour. I could feel the Hawaiian breeze, and the guides were friendly, which made me very satisfied. The Segway has a pouch, so you can carry valuables and towels. At the end, they also recommended a great lunch spot. Although it was in the morning, I was under the blazing sun for 2 hours, so my hands and arms got really sunburned. Even with sunscreen, I still burned, so I think it's better for sensitive individuals to wear long sleeves.

2時間のマジックアイランド周遊コースを体験。ハワイの風を感じられ、ガイドさんたちも親切でとても満足でした。セグウェイにポーチが着いているので、貴重品やタオルは持ち運べます。最後におすすめのランチのお店も紹介いただきました。午前中でしたが、2時間炎天下なので、手の甲から腕がすごく日焼けしました。日焼け止めを塗ってもやけたので、敏感な方は長袖がいいと思います。

MIckey did a great job of explaining and making sure that everyone felt safe and had a good time. I only wish we could have stayed out longer.

The explanation is thorough. When practicing for the first time, they adjust to your pace and support you until you feel confident.

説明は丁寧
最初に乗る練習をする時もこちらのペースに合わせて自信を持てるまで練習に付き合ってくれま

It was easier to ride than I expected. After just a few minutes of instruction, we were able to ride and set off with a small group!

Two staff members were assigned to lead and ensure safety, allowing us to move smoothly. The leading staff also took videos and photos of our group with our personal cameras, which was great because it meant we had proper records of our experience, not just riding.

We took various explanations and commemorative photos along the way, and the time flew by.

I still wanted to ride more, so I thought I would like to come back again.

After we finished riding, we were grateful to receive cold drinks and fruit. However, on the final survey form, there was a note about tipping, and some people in our group said they hadn’t been informed about it until the very end. While I understand that tipping is customary in Hawaii, I believe this should be clearly stated somewhere, and the survey form, which seemed to demand a tip of 20-30% of the tour fee like a restaurant, should be revised.

If this information were communicated clearly to customers before they sign up, I don’t think we would have had complaints like those from our group. It’s also important to ensure that the fun mood at the end isn’t dampened.

The tour itself was excellent.

思っていたより簡単に乗れました、ほんの数分の講習でもう全然乗ることができ数人で出発❗

二人のスタッフが先導と周りの安全確認するのに分けれていてくれたので、私達はスムーズに移動でき、先導スタッフが個人の携帯のカメラでグループごとの動画や写真を撮ってくれていたので、ただ乗るだけではなくきちんと記録が残るので良かったです。

所々で色んな説明や記念写真も撮ったりしてあっという間の時間でした。

まだまだ乗り足りない、もっと乗っていたかったのでまた乗りに来たいと思いました。

乗り終わったら冷たい飲み物やフルーツも頂き有り難かったですが、最後のアンケートの用紙にチップが記載されており、私以外は団体グループで最後の最後に聞いてないと言う人達がいました、たしかにハワイでのチップはあると思いますが、チップの件はどこかに記載するべきだと思いますし、レストランのようにいきなりツアー料金の20〜30%のチップをよこせと言わんばかりのアンケート用紙も変更した方が良いと思いました。

まずは申し込む前のお客さんにしっかり伝わるようにしていただいていたら、今回の団体さんみたいな苦情までは行かないとは思います、最後の最後に楽しかった気分をかえさないようにするのも必要ですね。

ツアー自体は最高でした。

This is just what I needed. I'm not a great swimmer nor very confident in open water, and this was an excellent way to learn to snorkel. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our guide was Ashton. He was awesome! And the pictures were cool.

First day in Hawaii. My son and I were looking forward to the Segway tour. The moment I met the person who came to pick us up and greeted them, I had a good feeling that today would be a great day! That feeling was spot on! We got to see the beautiful ocean, and the guide and staff were very kind. The conversations during the Segway ride were really enjoyable, creating wonderful memories. It was my first time, but there was plenty of practice time, and they provided support and consideration for the order when moving alongside others, which made me feel safe. Thank you very much. I had such a great time this time that I would like to request it again next time.

ハワイ初日。息子と楽しみにしていたセグウェイ。
お迎えに来て下さった方に会い挨拶をした瞬間、今日はいい１日になりそう！と良い予感がしました。
予感は的中！綺麗な海を見せて頂け、ガイドさんとスタッフの方がとても親切でセグウェイ中もお話が凄く楽しく素敵な思い出になりました。私は初めてでしたが、練習時間もたっぷりあり、他の方と並んで進む時の順番の配慮やサポートもして下さり安心してのる事ができました。ありがとうございました。
今回凄く楽しかったので次回もまたお願いしたいと思います。

I participated in the initial practice for snorkeling because I was anxious about going out to sea the next day. Since it was my first experience with snorkeling, the calm waves made it a great place for beginners. All the instructions were in English. They explained how to put on the gear, how to breathe, and the precautions. After that, we practiced in an area where we couldn't touch the bottom. It was mentioned that there was a locker for valuables, but all participants' belongings were placed in a large box with a lock, which was mostly left open. It's better not to bring valuables.

Since it was the same location as scuba diving, it seemed there were staff members coming and going. There were only park restrooms and an outdoor shower. This time, there were two children and me, along with two Americans in our group. For those who can't swim, the instructor pulls a float, so you can hold on and practice. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels anxious about going straight into the sea.

翌日の海に出てシュノーケリングが不安だったのでの初練習として参加。初体験シュノーケリングなので参加して波が穏やかで、初体験の場所として良かったです。説明は全て英語です。付け方や息の仕方の方法、注意事項を説明その後は足が付かない所でずっと練習、貴重品ロッカーと書いてありましたが、大きな鍵付きの箱の中に参加者全員の荷物を入れる、ほぼ開けっぱなしです。貴重品は持たない方が良いですね。
スキューバダイビングと同じ場所なので入れ違いで誰かスタッフがいるようでした。
公園のトイレと外にシャワーがあるだけです。
今回は子供2人と私、アメリカ人2人のグループでした。泳げない人はインストラクターが浮き具を引いてくれるので捕まって練習してました。
いきなり海に開くのが不安な方にはとてもお勧めです。
