All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The school teacher was very kind and taught us well, and all the staff were nice, creating a great atmosphere!! My wife and I went together, and both of us were able to stand up; it was truly the best school! I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii!

スクールの先生は丁寧に教えてくださり、スタッフの方皆さんいい方でとても雰囲気が良かったです！！
妻と2人で行ったのですが、2人とも立つことが出来て本当最高なスクールでした！
またハワイに行った時には行きたいと思います！

I wasn't sure where to meet, so I checked the location in advance. I wanted to see the fireworks, so I'm glad I made an early reservation. The waves I was worried about turned out to be fine, and I was just enchanted by the night view and the fireworks! If I were to see this happiness in a flashback at the end of my life, I would want to savor it once more! I ended up crying. Thank you for the delicious drinks. It can get a bit windy, so having a jacket would be good.

集合場所がわからなく、事前に場所を確認しました。花火を観たくていたので、早目の予約をして良かった。
心配だった波は大丈夫なくらいでした、とにかく夜景と花火にうっとり！人生の最後に走馬灯に見るならこの幸せをもう一度噛みしめたい！と泣いてしまいました。美味しいお酒ありがとうございます。少し風があったらするので、上着が有ると良い。

Good cruise, but will get on a larger cat next time

There were various happenings before boarding the submarine, which was quite amusing. Exploring underwater in the submarine was very enjoyable, and the children were wide-eyed watching. The fish swarming around the artificial reef and the sea turtles looked very cute. I would love to see it again with my family.

潜水艦に乗るまでに色々ハプニングあり面白かったです。
潜水艦で海中探索とても楽しく子供たちが目を丸くして見ていました、
人工漁礁に群がる魚や、ウミガメがとても可愛く見ていました、また家族で見たいと思います。

I reserved VIP seats for myself, my 3-year-old child, and my parents. I thought the price for the child was high, but I was surprised that the meals for both the child and the adults were exactly the same. Next time, I would like to see a buffet option as well.

主人、子(3歳)、両親とVIP席を予約しました。子供の料金にしては、高いと思いましたが、子供と大人の料理が全く一緒だったので、驚きました。次はブュッフェでも、いいのでまた見たいと思いました。

Last year, we could only make a reservation for the daytime cruise since it was already night when we arrived. This year, we made our reservation through VELTRA from Japan, so we were able to depart with peace of mind.

We have only been on the Holokai Catamaran, but the difference from last year was that we departed from in front of the Halekulani. This was a bit inconvenient.

We had the same captain as last year, and we were grateful that he was attentive both during boarding and after we set sail. He started with fast-paced English to liven up the atmosphere, but we were given a list of instructions and drink menus in Japanese, so there was no confusion at all.

People enjoyed themselves in various ways: some quietly, some danced, some sang, and others took photos with the props provided. The atmosphere varies with the crowd each time, but this time, we were moved to witness a proposal scene (the one where he kneels and asks, "Will you marry me?").

The daytime cruise is certainly fun, but no matter how many times I go, the moment of tranquility as the sun sets is simply unforgettable.

昨年は到着後に既に夜がいっぱいで昼の回しか予約出来ず、今年は日本からVELTRAを通じて予約したので安心して出発出来ました。
私達はホロカイカタマラン号しか乗ったことがありませんが、昨年との違いはハレクラニ前から出航したことです。
これはちょっと面倒でした。
昨年と同じキャプテンで、乗船時や乗船後も気にかけてくれてありがたかったです。
場を盛り上げるために終始早口の英語でスタートしますが、日本語で書かれた注意事項やドリンクメニューの一覧を渡されるので困る事は一切ありません。
静かに楽しむ人、踊る人、歌う人、用意された被り物で写真を撮る人、思い思いに楽しめます。
客層によって毎回雰囲気が違いますが、今回はプロポーズのシーン(ひざまづいてWill you marry me?のやつ！)に立ち会えて感動も倍増。
昼のクルーズももちろん楽しいのですが、
何度乗っても夕陽が沈む頃の静寂がたまらない瞬間です。

I joined to see the sunset-dyed sea from the water, but unfortunately, it was hidden by clouds, so I couldn't see it. However, a strong and cool woman was handing out Mai Tais, which lifted everyone's spirits and made for a fun sailing experience.

夕焼けに染まる海を海上から見たくて参加しましたが、雲に隠れてしまい、残念ながら見られませんでした。でも、逞しくて、カッコいい素敵な女性が、マイタイ を配りながら、皆さんを盛り上げ、楽しいセーリングになりました。

After a relaxing time at the beach, my daughter and I joined in, dressed up just a little. (laughs) The dinner was delicious. There was absolutely no stiffness at all. However, I thought it might be a bit disappointing for repeat visitors that there hasn't been any change in the menu for a long time. Also, while it's understandable if the place is full, I would appreciate it if the spacing between tables could be adjusted a bit when there is room available. As for the show, all the performers were wonderful. Presley had a friendly vibe. And above all, the beautiful smiles of the hula dancers, like flowers, always make me feel how amazing it is to come to Hawaii. Michael, who was one of the highlights, sounded just like him from the very first note, and I enjoyed listening nostalgically. The fire dance that appeared in the second half was also full of excitement, making it a very enjoyable time.

ビーチでのんびりとした後、娘と二人で参加しました、ほんの少しオシャレをして。(笑)
ディナーも、美味しく頂きました。堅苦しさなど全くありません。ただ、長い間、全くメニューに変化がないと言うことは、リピーターには少し残念なことなのでは？と思ったりしました。又、満席ならば仕方ありませんが、席に余裕がある場合は、臨機応変に、お隣とのテーブルの間隔を少し広げて頂ければ、有り難いなと感じました。ショーについては、演者の皆さん素敵でした。気さくな感じのプレスリー。そして、何より、フラの方達の花のような美しい笑みは、ハワイに来る度に、素晴らしいなぁと感じています 。
一番の楽しみでもあったマイケルも、第一声からソックリだったので、懐かしく聴き入りました。後半に登場するファイアーダンスも迫力満点で、とても楽しい時間になりました。

I participated with my family of three (my wife, our fifth-grade son, and myself) during the flying stone holiday in October. In the past, I had gone on a company trip to Guam and watched a luau at a certain domestic place, and I wanted to show my family that experience, especially since it included a meal.

◇ Good Points
- About half of the participants were Japanese, which allowed us to somewhat feel like we were abroad in Hawaii.

◇ Disappointing Points
- The show’s production was too tailored to American tastes, making it hard to feel the essence of Hawaii.
- The food was also very American.
* I was expecting luau dishes (like roasted pig), but...
- I opted for the economy course to save money, but the difference in service compared to the higher-tier course was too stark (though this might be due to the price difference).
* In the higher-tier course, seats are closer to the front, and the seating and buffet meal guidance are prioritized. Additionally, leis are given to everyone, making the visual difference between us common folks and others painfully clear and causing unnecessary feelings of inferiority.

◇ Overall Impression
I found the production very disappointing, and the fire dance show I saw at the certain domestic place might have been more impressive. I thought I was paying a decent amount for Hawaii, but I only got one welcome Mai Tai, and I regretted that I would have been better off having a steak outside. Well, my wife and son were happy, so I guess that’s okay...

◇ Additional Note
By the way, there is a bar where you can buy drinks with cash if you want, so parents who enjoy alcohol can rest assured.

１０月の飛石連休の中で家族三人（嫁＋小五息子＋自分）と参加しました
過去、自分だけ社員旅行で行ったグアムと○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）でルアウを観ていて、家族にも見せたいという思いと食事付きという内容により参加しました。

◇良かったところ
・ハワイにしては日本人の参加者が半分位で外国に来た気分が多少味わえました。

◇残念なところ
・ショーの演出がアメリカ人好みの演出すぎてあまりハワイを感じられなかった。
・食事もアメリカン
　※ルアウ料理（子豚ちゃんの丸焼き？など）を期待していたのに・・・
・値段をケチってエコノミーコースを申し込んだのですが、上のコースとのサービスの差が激しすぎる（これは値段の差なのでしょうがないかも）
　※上級コースだと席が前の方というのもあるけど、席への案内も食事（ブュッフェ式）の案内も先。さらにレイが全員にプレゼントされ、我々庶民との差がビジュアル的に一目瞭然で余計な劣等感を感じてしまう。

◇総評
自分としては演出がとても残念だったし、ファイヤーダンスなどは寧ろ「○ワイ○ンズ（某国内）」でみたショーの方が迫力があったかも。
ハワイでもそこそこの値段を払ったつもりなのに、酒 もウェルカムマイタイの一杯だけで、普通に外でステーキでも食べた方が良かったと後悔しています。
まぁ、嫁と小五の息子は喜んでいたからまぁ良いか・・・

◇補足
ちなみに、お酒はバーがあって飲みたければ現金払いでも買えるのでお酒好きのお父さんお母さんはご安心ください。

The shuttle service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました until the end. The waves were so big that I was surprised by the rocking during the meal while we were docked. Several people were feeling seasick, so I think it's best to be prepared if you're going to board.

送迎もバッチリで、日本語が話せるスタッフもいて最後まで安心して楽しめました。
波があまりに大きく、停泊中の食事の最中
から最後まで、揺れに驚かさせれました
何人も酔っている方がいらっしゃったので
覚悟して乗船された方が良いと思います

My first surfing experience in life.

I was skeptical about whether I could actually stand on the board, but the tour introduction was not misleading at all.

My young son was also able to stand on the board, and we had a truly valuable experience.

As a man in my forties with only skateboarding experience from my elementary school days, I was able to ride the waves, and I feel like I'm finally getting hooked on surfing.

人生初のサーフィン体験。

ちゃんとボードに立てるのか？
半信半疑だったのですが、
ツアーの紹介に嘘偽りはありませんでした。

幼い息子もボードに立てており、
とても貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。

これまで小学生時分に
スケードボードの経験しかない
四十路のおっさんですが全然波に乗れ、
遅まきながらサーフィンに嵌りそうです。

I had made a reservation for four people in the most expensive area, but when we arrived, there were no available seats for four. We ended up having to ask other guests who were already seated to move, creating a cramped seating arrangement. The location of our seats was only about a meter away from the regular seating area, and it was hardly different from the regular seats. In fact, the regular seats were more spacious and comfortable, which made for a very disappointing situation.

一番高額なエリアの席を事前に4名で予約をしていたのに、行ってみたら4名の席の空きがなく、既に着席している他のお客さんに移動をしてもらって詰め詰めの席をつくる始末。席の場所も、普通の席のエリアと1メートル程の通路を挟んだだけの位置で、普通の席とたいして変わらず、むしろ普通の席の方がゆったり座れるているという最悪の状況でした。

It swayed more than I imagined! It was a day with not much wind, but we were rocked quite a bit by the waves, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. As long as you don't get seasick, I think it's a very enjoyable tour! ☺︎

想像以上に揺れました！そんなに風がない日でしたが、かなり波に揺られたので酔い止めは必須だと思います。酔いさえしなければとても楽しめるツアーだと思います☺︎

I participated alone and even though my English is terrible, I had a great time! The staff were very kind and gave instructions using gestures and simple words, so it was no problem at all despite my lack of English. As a beginner, I was able to stand firmly on the board and it felt wonderful! I would love to participate again when I come back to Waikiki! Thank you very much!

一人で参加&英語は全くダメでも、楽しめました！！
スタッフの皆さんとても親切で、身振りと単語で指示をくれるので、英語がダメでも全く問題ありませんでした。
初心者でも、しっかりボードの上に立てて気持ちよかったです♬
またワイキキに来る際には参加したいと思います！！
ありがとうございました！！

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we looked for something that felt Hawaiian and a tour to celebrate a birthday, and we chose this show. The location was easy to find, right inside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, so we arrived without getting lost. While waiting to enter the waiting room, we were entertained by hula and singing. When it was time, we chose a Mai Tai (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic) and enjoyed some snacks. There were posters and memorabilia of stars displayed, and the excitement started building from there (laughs).

Before the show, we had a course meal. Our seats were right in the center, in the front row. I was worried it might be too close, but I was really lucky to see an amazing show. The lobster was half a tail, but it was enough. While I struggled with the shell, a staff member cheerfully came over with gloves and helped me open it up. The steak was tender and delicious, and the portion was just right, leaving me satisfied. The girl serving us was adorable, and when she brought out the birthday cake, she said "happy birthday" (^ ^) and celebrated with us, cutting and distributing the cake. With four people, we could only eat about half of it, and the taste was... okay. I wish they had included some candles to take home.

The show was diverse. The singing and dancing were so wonderful that I was captivated. Being in the front row, they occasionally reached out with their eyes and arms, which made the performance even more exciting. Of course, the performances of Michael and Elvis Presley were top-notch. They even came down to the audience. We thoroughly enjoyed the Hawaiian essence with hula and fire dancing.

The audience was a mix of children and adults, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Even from the second floor, you could see the whole show, and it looked like it would be enjoyable from there too.

Considering the greeting afterward, it took quite a bit of time, but I was so satisfied that I just went back to the hotel and got a good night's sleep. Next time, I’d like to try the backstage tour too! ^_^

ハワイに着いた当日。ハワイらしい事と、バースデー記念になるツアーを探して
こちらのショーを選びました。
場所も初日でも、わかりやすいロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンター内。迷わず到着。
ウェイティングルームに入る前に並んでいると、フラと歌で飽きさせません。時間になるとワンドリンクのマイタイを（ノンアルコールとアルコール）も選び、おつまみを頂きます。スター達のポスターや小物が飾ってあり写真撮影も、ここから盛り上がってきます（笑）
ショーの前にコース料理を頂きます。席はど真ん中の一番前。前過ぎて見ていられるか心配でしたが。最高なショーを見る事が出来て、本当にラッキーでした。
料理は、オマール海老は半身でしたが十分。ハサミで格闘しているとスタッフさんが、手袋してにこやかに割ってくれます^_^
ステーキも柔らかく美味しかった。量もちょうど良く満足。運んでくれる女の子も可愛らしくて、バースデーケーキを持ってきてくれた時も、happy birthday (^ ^)一緒にお祝いし、切って配ってくれました。４人だと半分くらいしか食べれません味は。。まぁまぁ。持ち帰りの箱をもらいました。ローソクが付いてきたら良かったなと思います。
ショーは、いろいろ。歌とダンスは素晴らしく見入ってしまいます。最前列だったので、ちょいちょいと、視線や腕を差し伸べたりしてくれ、そのパフォーマンスに嬉しく、テンション上がります。もちろん、マイケルや、エルビスプレスリーも歌と踊りは最高。客席にまで降りてきてくれます。フラや、ファイヤーダンスで、ハワイらしさも十分堪能できました。
客層も、子供から大人まで。みんな楽しそうでした。二階席でも全体が見渡せ、案外近くて楽しめそうです。
この後のグリーティングを合わせると、結構いいお時間になりますが、満足すぎてそのままホテルで、睡眠で十分です。
次は、バックステージツアーも体験してみたいな^_^

Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!

We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!

I was able to stand on the board properly! I took a semi-private lesson, so I was really tired, but I had a great time!

ちゃんとボードに立てました(^^)
セミプライベートレッスンを受講したので、めちゃくちゃ疲れたけど(笑)、存分に楽しませてもらいました！

As always, the hospitality of Mai Tai (the staff are always very kind!), the scenery, the sunset, everything was excellent. Mahalo! I will definitely visit again!

昔と変わらず、マイタイさんのホスピタリティー(スタッフの皆さんはいつもとても親切です！)、景色、サンセット、全てにおいて最高でした。マハロ！また絶対伺います！

After signing up, there were some notes such as needing a windbreaker due to strong winds and that you would get wet up to your knees from getting on from the beach, but I thought it was okay not to worry too much about it. Indeed, the wind was strong, but it was fun and I didn't feel cold. There were only two other groups besides us Japanese.

The atmosphere might change depending on the composition of the members that day, but I thought it would be a very enjoyable event as an experience in Hawaii. I would definitely like to participate again.

申し込み後、風が強いのでウインドブレーカーが必要、ビーチから乗るので、膝くらいまで濡れる、等の注意事項がありましたが、それほど気にしないで大丈夫だと、思いました。確かに、風はすごいのですが、楽しくて寒さは感じなかったです。日本人ほ私達以外２組だけでした。
その日のメンバー構成で、感じは変わりそうですが、ハワイでの体験として、かなり楽しいイベントになると思いました。
また、ぜひ参加します。

We chose a VIP seat with meals for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the venue, we enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks, which was a lot of fun! The meal included a large lobster, meat dishes, fish dishes, bread, and dessert, leaving us completely satisfied! I didn't know how to eat the lobster, but the staff kindly taught me!

Once the show started, there were so many captivating moments, especially Michael and the fire show, which were impressive! At the end, we even got to take photos, making it the best trip to Hawaii ever!!

新婚旅行ということで、食事付きのVIP席にしました！会場に着いたらウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらおつまみも頂けて楽しめました！食事は大きなロブスター、お肉料理にお魚料理、パンとデザートがあり、お腹いっぱいで満足です！ロブスターは食べ方が分からなかったのですが、スタッフの方が親切に教えてくれました！笑笑
ショーが始まったら目の離せない場面ばかりで、特にマイケルとファイヤーショーが印象的です！ラストは写真まで撮って頂き、最高のハワイ旅行になりました！！

Departed right on time for a 45 minute sail all before moving into a great position to view the fireworks. Hosts were pleasant and it was a very nice evening. Tip - wear shorts or a short dress - you may be knee deep in water getting onto and off the catamaran!

Since it was close to the hotel, I was able to enjoy my free time in the afternoon. Surprisingly, I managed to ride without flipping over! It felt great, and the instructor was kind too!

ホテルから近かったので午後からの空き時間に楽しむことができました。
意外にひっくり返ることなくなんとか乗れました！
気持ちよかったです、先生も優しかったです！

Sailing while drinking a Mai Tai. The night view of Waikiki and the sunset orange were exceptionally beautiful. My heart felt relaxed. I thought to myself that I was glad to be alive.

マイタイを飲みながらセーリング。
ワイキキの夜景やサンセットオレンジが格別にきれいでした。こころが、ほぐれていきました。生きてて良かったと思いました。

Before the show, we had a meal at the buffet. There was pork, beef, chicken, and white fish. I thought it was quite tasty.
The show was enjoyable with impersonators and fire dancing. It was really great that it ended with the Hawaii Five-O theme song!

ショーを観る前にブッフェ での食事をしました。豚も牛もチキンも白身魚もありました。普通に美味しいと思います。
ショーは、そっくりさんが出てきたり、ファイアーダンスがあったりと楽しめました。最後、ハワイファイブオーの曲で終演したのがとてもよかったです！

Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!

I splurged on VIP seats for Michael, which I was really looking forward to! First, we enjoyed the meal, and then the opening! I was focused on the front, so I was surprised! We had a fantastic time with Presley, a local singer, and of course, Michael, along with hula and fire dancing.

The portion sizes were just right, and the staff was efficient. I think the show is well-adjusted for various age groups, so it would be great for families to experience together. After the show, they are friendly and willing to take photos with you.

マイケルを楽しみに奮発してVIP席を取りました！
まず、食事を堪能してから、オープニング！前方を注視していたので、ビックリしました！プレスリーと地元の歌手の方、楽しみにしていたマイケル、フラ、ファイアーダンスとてんこ盛りで楽しめました。
食事の量も丁度よく、スタッフもテキパキ。ショーの内容は、いろんな年代に広くアジャストするものだと思うので、ファミリーで体験するのも良いのではないかと思います。ショーの後も、気さくに写真撮影に応じてくれます。

On the last day of our trip, we made a reservation as a couple. Since the staff were Japanese, we were able to clearly communicate our current physical condition, and they understood us well for the massage. It was very satisfying to receive the treatment together with my husband in a space just for us.

旅の最終日に夫婦で予約しました。日本人スタッフの方なので、今の身体の状態をきちんと伝えてわかってもらった上でのマッサージ。主人と一緒に受けられて私達たけの空間なのでとても満足でした。

If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride it! You can see it from offshore at Waikiki Beach, and I enjoy riding the waves. Please take care of me next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイに行ったら、必ず乗ります！
ワイキキビーチの沖から見れるし、波に乗って楽しみます。次回ハワイに行った時も、宜しくお願いします。
