All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

Mi abuela conoció Oahu el año pasado y este fue el único crucero económico que encontré. Afortunadamente encontré asiento para ella. Pero en general es muy cozy para todas las personas que habían
Menos gente puede hacer más ameno el Viaje.
The sailor was handsome. So that’s a bonus

My first experience with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). First, on the sandy beach, an instructor who had been an ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) in Japan gave a thorough lecture in fluent Japanese. Then we headed to the ocean. At first, I struggled to stand up because it was unstable, but once I could move freely in the direction I wanted, the fun doubled. Even a woman in her 50s was surprisingly able to get on and enjoy it quickly. It was also a strange experience to view the hotels in Waikiki from the sea. Initially, I had a reservation for 1:30 PM, but due to heavy rain, it was canceled on the day, and I rescheduled for 8:30 AM on another day. However, the sea was calm in the morning with fewer people, so I recommend the morning time (the staff mentioned this too). Waikiki Beach Services also has Japanese staff, which is reassuring. They keep your belongings in a shelf under the reception counter. As a side note, after that, when I rented a surfboard, I got a half-price repeat customer rate. The next day, I rented SUP equipment cheaply at Fort DeRussy Beach and had a great time. I realized how important it is to receive proper lessons from the instructor at the beginning. By the way, the reception for Waikiki Beach Services is at a counter within the pool area of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It seems easy to find but can be a bit confusing, so just a heads up.

初めてのSUP体験。まず砂浜で、日本でALT(英語教師)をしていたインストラクターさんが流暢な日本語で丁寧にレクチャーしてくれます。いざ海へ。最初は不安定な状態から立つのがやっとでしたが、行きたい方向に自由に進むようになると楽しさ倍増、50代おばちゃんでも意外とすぐ乗れて楽しめました。ワイキキのホテル群を海から眺める不思議な体験でもありました。当初13:30の予約だったのが大雨で当日に現場でキャンセルになり、別日の8:30amに変更となりましたが、朝は海も穏やかで人も少なく、朝の時間帯がおすすめです(スタッフの方もそう言ってました)。ワイキキビーチサービスには日本人スタッフもいて安心です。荷物は受付カウンター下の棚で預かってくれます。余談ですがその後サーフボードを借りたらリピーター料金で半額になりました。翌日にはフォートデルッシービーチでSUP道具を安価で借りて満喫。最初にインストラクターさんからちゃんとレッスンを受けることは大事なんだと実感しました。なお、ワイキキビーチサービスの受付はロイヤルハワイアンホテルのプール敷地内のカウンターです。わかりやすそうでわかりにくいので参考まで。

On the day of the trip, the weather was nice and the waves were calm, so neither the ferry nor the submarine rocked. The underwater visibility in Hawaii was excellent, allowing us to see far into the distance. By chance, we were able to see three sea turtles, which was great. It might have been coincidental, but during the early hours, there were many Japanese tourists, so the main guide conducted the tour primarily in Japanese. I appreciated that the staff discreetly explained to the few non-Japanese passengers before boarding that the main guide would be in Japanese.

　当日は天気が良く波が静かで、渡し船も潜水艇も揺れませんでした。ハワイの海底は、透明度が非常によく遠くまで見ることが出来ました。偶然にも、海亀を３匹見ることが出来よかったです。たまたまかもしれませんが、早い時間帯は日本人が多いのでガイドもメインは日本語でした。スタッフが日本人以外の少数派に、乗船前にメインのガイドは日本語でやることをこっそり説明しており好感できます。

You can enjoy a wonderful sunset while sipping a delicious Mai Tai! This time, we also saw a beautiful rainbow, making for a very satisfying sailing experience. I highly recommend it.

美味しいマイタイを飲みながらの素敵なサンセットが見られます！今回美しい虹も見られ、大満足のセイリングでした。オススメです。

We have been snorkelling a couple of times but this was different. We saw so many turtles and fish. Great fun for our teenage kids. The boat team were fun, experienced and professional. The boat was spotless and well maintained. The sail after snorkelling was a bit rough going out due to the weather but that made it more fun! Coming back was smooth and relaxing. Free snacks on board and drinks reasonably priced.

Arriving flights from Japan to Honolulu typically land in the morning, making a spa the perfect way to unwind from your travels. Since check-in is generally after 3 PM, it might be a good idea to use your short stay efficiently. While relaxing on the beach, golfing, shopping, and sightseeing are great options, I highly recommend the spa to energize you for activities starting the next day.

日本からのホノルル到着便は午前中に着くので旅の疲れを癒すのにはSPAが最高です。一般的にチェックインが午後３時以降なので短い滞在を
効率的に使うにも良いかも。ビーチでくつろいだり、ゴルフ、ショッピング、観光もいいですが、翌日からの行動を活発にする為に是非オススメです。

After making a reservation, I received an email stating that the tip is to be paid separately. I haven't encountered this with any previous reservations made through Veltra. I thought the SPA's value for money, location, and service were all good.

予約して暫くしたら、チップ別払いのメールが着ました。今までベルトラさんで予約したものには
ありませんでした。SPAの内容はコスパ、立地、接客も良かったと思います。

This is my second time participating in this option, and it was still a fun show as always. There was a lot to enjoy, including traditional Hawaiian-style hula dancing, impersonators singing and dancing, and the thrilling fire dance. My favorite was Elvis, and "Blue Hawaii" was the best. Michael was great with his dancing and singing, but he also made us laugh with his microphone performance, which was really enjoyable.

The buffet before the show started with a Mai Tai welcome drink, and they served a whole roasted pig, along with roast beef, so I was very satisfied with the delicious food.

このオプションへの参加は今回で2回目ですが、相変わらず楽しいショーでした。大昔のハワイアンスタイルのフラダンスやそっくりさんの歌やダンス、そしてハラハラドキドキのファイヤーダンスと盛り沢山。お気に入りはエルビスで、Blue Hawaiiがサイコーでした。マイケルもダンスや歌はもちろん良かったのですが、なんとマイクパフォーマンスで笑わせてくれてとても楽しかったです。
ショーが始まる前のビュッフェもマイタイのウェルカムドリンクから始まり、豚一頭そのままの丸焼きが出てきたり、ローストビーフもあって沢山食べられて美味しかったので大変満足しました。

There was hula, impersonations, singing, and it felt like a mix of various things. For the price, I had the impression of "huh?"

フラあり、ものまねあり、歌ありと、いろいろなもののごった盛りという感じ。値段のわりには、？という印象でした。

The day we participated, there was little wind and few clouds, making the sunset beautifully visible, and we had a great time. When departing from the beach, there might be a chance that not everyone can find a seat, but it's only for a few minutes until we head out to sea, after which everyone spreads out and moves around, so there were no issues with seating.

参加した日は風や雲も少なくサンセットが綺麗に見えて、
非常に楽しむことができました。
ビーチから出発する時に全員が席に座れない可能性ありますけど、
沖に出るまでの数分間だけで、その後は皆バラけて動き出すので、
席に困ることはなかったです。

After the Viking meal, there was a traditional luau show. The food was delicious and it was fun. However, the show could be a bit shorter.

バイキングの食事の後、フラ、伝統ルアウショー
食事も美味しく、楽しかった。
ただ、ショーはもう少し短い方が良いかも

I enjoyed the Honolulu Marathon as a memory with my daughter. I'm thinking of coming again next year. I hope my husband can join us next time!

ホノルルマラソンの記念に、娘と一緒に楽しめました。又来年も来ようと思ってます。今度は夫婦来れたらいいな❗️❗️

This was my tenth trip to Hawaii, and I encountered a tour that I want to join every time! I had a bad experience with seasickness during a sunset dinner cruise, so I was worried, but this tour was just fine. The conversations were mostly in English, and since we could drink alcohol, the atmosphere was very lively. My elderly mother also said this was the most enjoyable part of the trip. Just sitting on the boat and watching the sunset, Diamond Head, and the night view of Waikiki made me feel so happy! I will definitely join again next time. Thank you! ^0^

ハワイ旅行10数回目、毎回参加したいと思うツアーに出会いました！サンセットディナーで船酔いをした経験があり不安でしたがこのツアーは大丈夫でした。基本的に会話は英語、お酒が飲めるのでとても賑やかな雰囲気ですが、高齢の母も今回の旅行で1番楽しかったと喜んでおります。ただぼーっと船に乗って夕陽やダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの夜景を見ているだけでこんなに幸せな気持ちになるれるとは♪また次回も参加します。ありがとうございました^0^

I participated in the 11 o'clock session. Since it said to gather at 10:30, I arrived around 10:20 and was told that roll call would be taken at the beach starting at 10:45, so I waited for nearly 30 minutes on the beach. The weather was nice, and the breeze felt pleasant. There were many international guests on board, and we had a great time taking photos together. We went further out than I expected, and it was fun to splash in the water as we moved along. Seeing Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from a different angle revealed a different charm. I will definitely participate again.

11時の回に参加しました。
10:30集合と書かれていたため10:20頃に着くと10:45からビーチで点呼を取ると言われてビーチで30分近く待ちました。
天気も良く、風が気持ちよかったです。海外の方がたくさん乗船されていて、写真を撮り合いながら楽しく過ごせました。
思っていたより沖の方まで行き、水しぶきを浴びながら進んでいくのが楽しかったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを別の角度から見るとまた違った魅力がありました。また必ず参加します。

The free hula show at the beach the day before was impressive, and I was able to enjoy the professional performance until the end. The fire show was truly surprising, and I was very satisfied to see it up close in its authentic setting. I was glad I secured a seat in the front, as the order for going to the buffet varied depending on where you sat. I had just finished my meal before the show started, so I could focus on the performance. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was simple yet diverse, and I was satisfied with the portion size. Thank you very much.

前日にビーチでの無料のフラを観ていたので、さすがプロの方々のショーは違うな～と感心しながら、最後まで楽しむことが出来ました。
ファイアーショーは本当にびっくりで、本場で尚且つ至近距離で観ることが出来て大満足です。
座る場所によって、ブュッフェを取りに行く順番が違うとありましたので、前方席確約にして良かったです。
ショーが始まる前にはちょうど食事が終わっていましたので、ショーに集中することが出来ました。
あまり期待していなかった食事ですが、素朴ですが多彩で、ボリュームもあって満足です。
ありがとうございました。

It was my first sunset cruise. There were not many Japanese people, and there was one staff member who spoke Japanese. The meeting point was near the Tropical Bar at the Hilton. There was a reception there, so I mentioned my reservation name, waited for about 10 minutes, took off my shoes, and then boarded the cruise.

Drinks, including alcohol, were all-you-can-drink, and there was food like bread, pasta, and salad! The weather was nice, so we got to see a really beautiful sunset! The staff were kind, and the atmosphere was very lively, typical of America! (laughs) It was quite windy and cold, so it's definitely better to bring a jacket.

初めてのサンセットクルーズでした
日本人はあまり少なく、日本語喋れるスタッフは1人いました。
集合場所がヒルトンのトロピカルバーの横？らへんでしたそこに受付があるので予約の名前を言って、10分くらい待って靴をぬぎクルーズへ入っていく感じでした。

飲み物もアルコールなど飲み放題で食べ物もパンやパスタ、サラダがありました！
天気が良かったので凄く綺麗なサンセットが見れました！
スタッフの方々も優しく、アメリカのテンションマックスでした！笑
風が強いのと寒かったので上着は絶対持ってた方がいいです。

It was worth the money.
Loved the food and the performance
Just awesome

My wife and I attended together.
First, we entered through the VIP entrance and took a commemorative photo with an Elvis Presley impersonator.
We received a welcome drink (alcohol) and enjoyed appetizers like fruits, nuts, and prosciutto while waiting for the venue to open.
After the doors opened, we savored dinner at a table in front of the stage. We had a voucher for one alcoholic drink, so we ordered a cocktail.
I thought there would be quite a bit of food, but it was just enough to fill us up. The lobster was delicious, and both the meat and salmon were tasty as well. There were also desserts and coffee.
The show included Hawaiian dances, impersonations of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, and even a fire dance, which left us very satisfied. Being seated right in front of the stage made it a fantastic experience.
The photo we took at the beginning can be purchased for $25, and after the show, the Elvis impersonator himself signed it for us.
When we left the venue, we were able to take commemorative photos with the singers and the Hawaiian dancers who performed in the show, creating wonderful memories.

妻と2人で参加してきました。
まずはVIP入口から入って、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんと記念撮影。
ウェルカムドリンク(アルコール)を受け取り、フルーツやナッツや生ハムなどの前菜を食べつつ、開場を待ちます。
開場後、ステージ前の席でディナーを堪能。アルコール1杯をオーダーできる券を貰ってたので、それでカクテルを注文。
料理は結構多いかと思いましたが、ちょうどお腹一杯になるくらいでした。ロブスターはもちろん美味しかったですし、お肉もサーモンも美味でした。デザートとコーヒーもあります。
ショーはハワイアンなダンスから、エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんショー、ファイアーダンスもあって大満足。ステージ目の前の席なのでバッチリ楽しめます。
最初に記念撮影した写真は25ドルで買えますし、終了後にプレスリーそっくりさん本人が最後にサインもしてくれます。
会場から出ると、ショーに出てた歌手の人やハワイアンダンス踊ってた人たちと自分のカメラで記念撮影までさせてくれて、いい思い出になりました。

The show is easily visible from any seat. The costumes changed frequently, which was enjoyable to watch, and I'm glad I participated.

ショーがどの席からもよく見えます。
衣装もどんどん変わり、みていて楽しかったし
参加してよかったです

I'm glad I got to see the ocean in Hawaii! I had the impression that there were many families around, and it might depend on the sea conditions, but I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish.

ハワイの海の中を見れてよかったです！
家族連れが多いイメージで、海のコンディションによると思うのですが、魚が少なかったのが少し残念でした。

I participated with my wife and two daughters, but it was quite difficult because my wife got drunk. The submarine itself is stable, but the waves while transferring from the shuttle boat to the submarine are quite intense. If you're not confident on boats, it's better to take motion sickness medication just in case. As for the tour, we were able to see sea turtles this time, and the kids were thrilled. What you can see depends on luck, though.

妻と娘二人で参加しましたが、妻が酔ってしまい大変でした。
潜水艦自体は安定しているんですが、送迎線から潜水艦に乗り移る間が水面のうねりが凄いです。
船に自信がある方以外は、念のため酔い止めを飲んで挑んだ方が良いです。
肝心のツアーですが、今回はウミガメも見れて子供達は大喜びでした。
何が見れるかは、運次第ですが。

It was truly amazing! Unlimited drinks while sailing with a view of the hotels off Waikiki and Diamond Head. I highly recommend the sunset sail!

本当に最高でした！ワイキキ沖からホテル群、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらの飲み放題セイリング。サンセットセイルはおすすめですよー

The location has only a small sign, so I think most people will miss it. Even if you ask at the front desk, they might respond with "What is that?" as none of the other staff seem to know about it either. The show itself was average and felt like just another Hawaiian show that you could see somewhere else. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

場所は小さな看板しか無くまず殆どの人が見逃すと思います。フロントで場所を聞いても、それって何？と言うか他のスタッフも皆さん知らないあり様です。ショー自体も普通で何処かで見ショー内容と言うかほぼ同じハワイアンショーですね。残念ですが次は無いです。

This was cool, but they advertise alot on their Instagram with pictures of feet hanging out of the Helicopter, but they do not allow those kind of pictures at all.
I highly advice atleast a sweater and long pants since it does get cold

You have plenty of time on the submarine to fully enjoy the scenery underwater. I was able to see sharks and sea turtles! (Maybe I was just lucky.) The elementary school children also seemed to have fun looking for fish. The boat before switching to the submarine swayed quite a bit, so I noticed a few people feeling seasick before the main event. I recommend taking motion sickness precautions for those who are not confident on boats.

潜水艦に乗っている時間はたっぷりあり、海の中の景色を十分楽しめます。鮫やウミガメも見れました！（運が良かったのかも。）小学生の子どもたちも魚を探したり楽しそうでした。潜水艦に乗り換える前の船が結構揺れるので、メインイベントの前に船酔いしている人もちらほら見かけました。船に自信のない人は酔い止め対策をおすすめします。

Since I always played golf, I decided to try surfing for the first time while in Hawaii. When I went to the surf shop offering lessons, there was quite a crowd waiting, which was encouraging. It was a semi-private lesson, but I felt there wasn't much difference from a group lesson. The timing for paddling with the waves was entirely up to the coach. Since I was on a longboard, I was able to stand up right from the start, which was fun. However, paddling out to the ocean was tough, and that was quite challenging. I'm excited that there are more options in Hawaii to enjoy in the future.

いつもゴルフばかりだったので、せっかくのハワイなのだからと、はじめてサーフィンに挑戦しました。
催行しているサーフショップに行くと、かなりの人数が待っていて盛況。セミプライベートレッスンでしたが、グループレッスンでもさほど違いはないように思います。
波に背にしてパドリングするタイミングは全てコーチ任せ。ロングボードなので、初めから立つことができて楽しかったです。ただ、沖に向かってのパドリングは辛くて、これだけは大変でした。
ハワイの選択肢が増えてこれからも楽しみです。

Motion sickness medication is a must. The view from the boat is great, and riding in the submarine is fun, but there weren't many fish on the seabed... I thought they had artificially created a fishing ground on the sandy bottom. It's a 45-minute experience of watching the little fish gather there. Since it takes about three hours, please weigh it against other events you want to do before deciding to participate!

酔い止めは必須です。船からの眺めは良いし、潜水艦に乗るのも楽しいのですが、海底に魚は…あまりいませんでした。
もともと砂地に人工的に魚場を作ったんだなと思いました。そこに集まる小さなお魚達を見つめる45分です。
時間は３時間ほど取られるので、他にやりたいイベントと天秤かけて参加を決めて下さいね！

I tried surfing for the first time. They teach you carefully, so I think anyone can do it. However, I couldn't stand up even once. It was about two hours in the morning, but my whole body is sore. You can't bring your phone or camera, so if you have a partner, I recommend having them take pictures for you. Of course, the shop staff will take videos and photos, but they sell them for over $50, which is a bit expensive. My wife also participated, but she got seasick and had to give up early. If you're prone to motion sickness, you'll need some medication for that.

初めてサーフィンをしました。丁寧に教えてくれるので、誰でもできると思います。ただ私は一度も立ち上がれませんでした。午前中2時間ほどでしたが、全身が筋肉痛です。携帯やカメラは持って行けないので、もしパートナーがいれば取ってもらうことをお勧めします。もちろんショップのかたが動画と写真を撮ってくれますが、50ドル以上で販売されますので、少し高いですね。妻も参加しましたが、船酔いのようになってしまい早々にギブアップ。酔いやすい方は酔い止めも必要ですね。

I wasn't aware of the news about the sightseeing helicopter crash on the Big Island that resulted in six deaths, but even if I had known, I would have participated. Everyone around me couldn't speak Japanese, but there was no need to worry. Before departing from the airport, you have to store your luggage in a locker, which requires four quarters. You can exchange money for that. They also offer a case to hang your smartphone around your neck for $10, but the lady next to me initially took photos but eventually stopped. The pilot's explanations can be heard through headphones, and you can communicate with the pilot via a microphone, but even at maximum volume, it was hard to hear. Also, even in clear weather during this season, it gets cold up in the air, so long sleeves are essential, but a down jacket wasn't necessary. We flew at about 1,500 to 1,800 feet. It seems to be a characteristic of the helicopter that we didn't enter any clouds. The flight path took us from the airport, circling counterclockwise around the east side of the island for about 50 minutes. Fortunately, there was no turbulence. It was a great experience. It is a bit pricey, but I recommend it.

ハワイ島で観光ヘリが墜落して6名死亡のニュースは知らなかったが、知っていても参加していたでしょう。周りは日本語がしゃべれない方ばかりでしたが心配ありません。空港出発前に荷物はロッカーに預けさせられますが25セント硬貨4枚いります。両替できます。またスマホを首からかけられるケースを10ドルで貸してくれますが、隣のご婦人は最初こそ写真を撮っていましたがそのうちやめてましたね。上空でのパイロットの説明はヘッドフォンで聞こえますしマイクを通してパイロットと会話ができますが、ボリューム最大にしても聞こえにくいです。またこの季節晴天でも上空は寒く長袖は必須ですがダウンジャケットまでは必要ありませんでした。大体1500～1800フィートを飛行します。ヘリコプターの特性でしょうが雲の中には入りません。飛行経路は空港を離陸して島の東側を反時計回りに回って50分ぐらいでしょうか。揺れなかったのが幸いでした。いい経験になりました。値段はしますがおすすめです。

This was an awesome way to begin our first full "relax day" in Honolulu. The crew on this catamaran was outstanding. They were very friendly and welcoming and really made you feel like they were there just for you. Perfect amount of people on board. The drinks were delicious and rum aplenty. I think if we were to do this again, we would pay for back to back cruises so we'd have more time. Waikiki & Diamond Head from that viewpoint were unbelievable. Thanks for a great time!!!
