All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I had a great time starting with the Polynesian Show, followed by Presley and Michael! I would like to see it again when I travel to Hawaii!

ポリネスアンショーから始まり、プレスリー、マイケルととても楽しめました！
またハワイ旅行の時には、観たいと思っています！

At first, I was worried about getting wet from the waves and the rocking of the boat, but it was fine. I held back a bit on the all-you-can-drink option since there were no restrooms, but the Mai Tai on board was delicious. There were no snack appetizers.

最初は波で濡れることやゆれる事を心配しましたが、大丈夫でした。飲み放題もトイレがないので少し抑え目にしていましたが、船上のマイタイはおいしかったです。おつまみスナックはありませんでした。

The wind was strong, so the boat swayed more than I expected, and it felt like I was on a roller coaster! The scenery was also very beautiful, and it was a valuable experience. However, when I got off the boat, I found that the stroller I had left at the reception (or rather, I was told to leave it there and it was propped up at the reception) had been stolen. It was careless of me to bring it along.

風が強かったので、想像以上に船が揺れて、ジェットコースターにでも乗ったような感覚でした！景色もとても素敵で貴重な体験だったのですが、船から上がると、受付に預けていた(というか、ここに置いておいてと言われて、受付の所に立て掛けていた)ベビーカーが盗まれていたという。。持って行ったのは不用心でしたね(>_<)

It was the best sailing experience, enjoying a Mai Tai in hand! Shortly after departure, we were able to see turtles swimming.

This time, I participated with my mother, but it seems like it would be perfectly fine to join alone as well. There were just under 40 people on board, with only two other groups of Japanese participants. Most of the attendees were not Japanese, which added to the overseas atmosphere and made it even more enjoyable. It's completely fine if you don't understand English. Before boarding, we took a group photo, which can be purchased for $20 after disembarking for those who wish to.

You do get quite wet when boarding and disembarking. Those at the front of the boat (the side where you get on and off) got splashed directly by the waves and were pretty soaked. The sun was strong on the boat, but once we set sail, the wind felt really nice. As long as you apply sunscreen properly, sunburn shouldn't be an issue.

The boat does sway quite a bit during the trip, so if you're prone to seasickness, it's definitely a good idea to take some motion sickness medication to ensure you can enjoy the experience. A few people were struggling with seasickness.

It was so much fun and felt great, so I would like to participate in the sunset sailing next time.

マイタイ片手に楽しめる最高のセーリングでした！出航してまもなく亀が泳いでいるのを見ることができました。
今回は母と2人で参加しましたが、1人でも問題なく参加できそうです。
乗船人数は40人弱で他の日本人参加者は2組。日本人じゃない方がほとんどなのも、海外に来ている雰囲気をより味わえて楽しいです。英語はわからなくても全く問題ないです。乗船前にグループごとに記念撮影をし、希望者は下船後に20ドルで購入できます。
船に乗り降りする時に結構濡れます。また船の前方(乗り降りする側)にいた人達は波が直接かかるのでかなり濡れていました。船上は日差しが強いですが、出航してしまえば風がとても気持ち良かったです。日焼け止めをしっかり塗っておけば日焼けも問題なかったです。
船は途中結構揺れるので、船酔いが気になる方は酔い止め薬を飲んでおいた方が確実に楽しめます。何人か船酔いに苦しんでました。
とても楽しくて気持ち良かったので、今度はサンセットセーリングにも参加したいと思います。

My family and I were very impressed. We were able to see a kaleidoscope of fishes even a shark and leopard stingray. We were even able to see large leather back sea turtles. Definitely worth it

The first time I learned to surf was at Ala Moana, the second time in Lahaina on Maui, and this time I took lessons in Waikiki. There were so many people that I almost collided with others, and since I couldn't avoid them, I had no choice but to jump off my board, which was a bit scary. Well, since this is the birthplace of surfing, I guess it's to be expected. The waves were also higher this time, making it tough for the students. I definitely want to try again.

1回目はアラモアナで、2回目はマウイ島のラハイナ、そして今回はワイキキでサーフィンを習いました。人が多くてぶつかりそうになったり、よけられないからボードから飛び降りるしかないので少し怖かったです。まぁサーフィン発祥の地なので仕方ないかな、波も今回は高めなので、レッスン生にはきつかったです。またリベンジしたいと思います。

The guide, who was fluent in Japanese, taught us various things and made everything easy to understand! That guide was also fluent in English and Chinese. It was my first time on a submarine, so I was excited the whole time. However, I felt there were a bit fewer fish than expected, but I was very satisfied because I got to see a sea turtle! Being able to see the depths of the ocean at 30 meters was truly mystical! I highly recommend this tour!

日本語がペラペラなガイドさんがいろいろ教えてくださり、分かりやすかったです！そのガイドさんは英語、中国語もペラペラでした。
潜水艦は初めてだったので終始興奮でした
ただ、お魚がちょっと少なかったかなという印象でしたが海ガメにも出会えたのでとっても満足です‼️３０メートルも深い海の中を見ることができてとても神秘的です！おすすめツアーです！

I have been to Hawaii many times, but the Atlantis Submarine was a first-time experience for me. There was Japanese audio available, but I didn't feel the need for it because the Japanese spoken by the guide was very interesting. I was very lucky to see both a sea turtle sleeping and swimming at the same time. The windows were smaller than I imagined, so it was definitely the right choice to book the "Premium Plan with Larger Windows."

何回もハワイへ行っていますが、アトランティス潜水艦は初めての体験でした。日本語のオーディオが用意されていましたが、実際にお話する方の日本語が非常に面白かったため、必要性を感じませんでした。
海ガメが寝ているところと実際に泳いでいるところをダブルで見られ、とてもラッキーでした。
窓は想像よりも小さかったため、『窓が大きいプレミアムプラン』を予約していて大正解です。

Mai Tai Katamaran is fully booked for reservations, so it's hard to get a spot once you're there. Moreover, I think this tour is very special because you can enjoy the fireworks. The departure time is after dinner, which gives you some leeway. First, we boarded the boat and toasted with Mai Tai. After that, we cruised and docked on the Hilton side. The boat stays in a position where you can see the fireworks from either side. If I had to say, the best position is the front right from the beach. At 8:00 PM, the fireworks started. For almost five minutes, you can enjoy the fireworks without anything obstructing your view. After the fireworks, we continued cruising along Waikiki Beach up to the Diamond Head area. It was a wonderful time. However, I noticed that other boats departing from Waikiki Beach had a higher ratio of foreigners, which created a more lively atmosphere, and I really liked that feeling of being abroad!

マイタイカタマランは、現地に行ってからではまず予約できません。予約でいっぱいなので。
しかも、今回は花火鑑賞ができるということで、とても貴重なツアーだと思います。出発時間も夕飯を食べてからの出発なので余裕もありました。まずは、船内に乗り込みマイタイで乾杯。その後クルーズを経てヒルトン側に停泊。船の左右からどちからでも見えるように、泊まってくれます。強いて言うなら浜から見て右手手前がベストポジション。20:00になり花火開始。5分弱の時間、遮るものもなく花火を満喫できます。花火鑑賞後はクルージング。ワイキキビーチに沿ってダイアモンドヘッド付近までいきます。素敵な時間でした。ただ、ワイキキビーチから出ているほかの船の方が外国人比率が高いので、さらに盛り上がり、海外に来ている！という雰囲気は好きかな〜

I experienced a group lesson with 6 people and 2 instructors. The instructors didn't speak Japanese, so the explanations were in English, which some people found a bit difficult to understand. However, they spoke in simple English, so I think it will be fine! It was fun!

グループレッスンで体験しましたが、6名で2人のインストラクターさんでした。
インストラクターさんは、日本語ができない？方だったので、英語での説明だったので、なかなか分からない方もいらしたよです。
簡単な英語で話してくださるので、大丈夫だと思いますよ！楽しかったです！

The weather was great, and the strong wind created the perfect conditions. However, the meeting point was very hard to find, and we wandered around the Sheraton multiple times. Among the participants, we were the only Japanese. The waves were high, and the strong wind splashed water on us, which felt refreshing. It was nice to see the backside of Diamond Head and to spot sea turtles.

天気も良く、風も強く最高のコンディションでした。ただ、集合場所が非常に分かりにくく、何回もシェラトンの周りをウロウロ。参加した人の中に日本人は私たちだけでした。波も高く、風も強く水しぶきがかかり、気持ち良かったです。ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側が見られ、ウミガメも見られて、良かったです。

I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran with my wife, eldest daughter, and grandchild (2.5 years old). During the approximately one and a half hour cruise, everyone was thrilled with the wonderful scenery, the crew's entertaining talks, and the many splashes of waves. Next time, I hope to enjoy it with the whole family.

Also, the meeting point (registration) can be hard to find, so I recommend checking it in advance.

私、妻、長女、孫（2.5才）を連れてマイタイ・カタマラン号に搭乗しました。
およそ1時間半のクルージングの間、素晴らしい景色とクルーの楽しいトーク、そして多くの波しぶきにみんな大喜びでした。
次回は、家族全員で楽しみたいと思います。

なお、集合場所（受付）が分かりにくいので、事前に確認することをお勧め致します。

- I waited a little before the pickup time, but when the time came, no one showed up. I became worried and called the contact number, but I couldn't get through, so I was left feeling anxious for 30 minutes. They mentioned it was due to traffic, but not being able to reach the contact number is a separate issue.
- I was told, "Since the start was delayed by 30 minutes, the end will also be pushed back by 30 minutes," but in the end, it finished at the original time.
- They have rash guards available for rent, but there are no bottoms, so women who are concerned about that need to prepare their own.

・ピックアップ時間の少し前から待っていたが時間になっても来なかったため、心配になり問い合わせ先へ電話したが繋がらず、ただただ不安なまま30分待たされた。交通事情とのことだったが問い合わせ先と連絡が取れないのは別の問題。
・「開始が30分遅れたから終了も30分ずらす」と言われたが、結果的に終了は元の時間どおりだった。
・ラッシュガード貸出があるが、下は無いため女性で気になる方は自身で準備が必要。

I participated in a family trip for both families that also served as a wedding ceremony. There were relatively few Japanese guests, which allowed me to enjoy the feeling of being abroad. The weather was nice, and the views of Waikiki from the ocean, as well as the sunset and night scenery, were very beautiful and enjoyable. The food wasn't particularly delicious. The variety of drinks wasn't extensive, but the prices were reasonable and not high. The main fireworks were farther away than I expected, which was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend attending just for the purpose of watching the fireworks.

It was a memorable experience.

結婚式を兼ねた両家の家族旅行で参加しました。
日本人客は比較的少なく、海外に来た感が楽しめました。
天気が良かったのでワイキキの街を沖から見た風景やサンセットや夜景はとても綺麗で楽しめました。
ご飯は美味しいわけではありませんでした。
ドリンクの種類はさほど多くありませんが、料金は高くなく、良心的でした。
メインの花火は思っていたより遠くて、残念でした。花火を見る目的で参加するならばオススメしません。

思い出にはなりました。

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I rode a submarine for the first time. Since I don't usually get to do this, I was really looking forward to it. We saw many creatures like sea turtles and sharks, and the kids were very happy. The cheerful captain spoke in a fun way and provided interesting explanations, making it a very meaningful experience. I would love to do it again if I have the chance.

2回目のハワイで初めて潜水艦に乗りました。
日常では乗ることはないので楽しみにしていましたが、
海がめやサメなど多くの生き物が沢山集まっていて子供たちも
大変喜んでいました。また陽気な見本語をしゃべる船長が
面白おかしく説明してくれてとても有意義な時間を過ごすことが
できました。また機会があれば利用したいです。

Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.

I was a bit confused trying to find the meeting place, but once I got on the boat, the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy my time with the international guests on board! The cocktail called Mai Tai was delicious, and the scenery was beautiful, making for a wonderful time!

集合場所を探すのに少し戸惑いましたが、船に乗ってからはスタッフの方々もとても親切で一緒の船に乗船したいた海外の方々とも楽しく過ごすことができました！マイタイと呼ばれるカクテルも美味しく、景色も綺麗で楽しいひと時でした！

Instead of diving, I participated in this submarine tour as a way to explore the ocean. I was able to see sea turtles both on the shuttle to the submarine and inside the submarine! There was also an audio guide in Japanese, and the crew members were very friendly, so I had a great time!

ダイビングができない代わりに海に潜る方法として、この潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。潜水艦までの連絡船、潜水艦の中両方でウミガメを見ることができました！日本語での音声ガイドもあり、クルーの方々も親切だったのでとても楽しめました！

I was hoping to see whales jumping, but I only caught a glimpse of a tail, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were very kind, and the view from the deck was beautiful, making it a lovely cruise. The guidance was mainly in English, but there were staff members who spoke Japanese at key points, which made it easy to understand. The deck was quite windy, so it's a good idea to have something to wear. While searching for whales, the waves were high, and I took motion sickness medication, but I ended up feeling nauseous in the second half. The staff applied menthol oil, which is effective for seasickness. On the way back, I was told that I could walk to Iolani Palace, so after disembarking, I separated from the group and visited Iolani Palace and other places before taking the bus back.

クジラがジャンプする姿を期待していましたが、しっぽが少し見えたのかな？程度で少し残念でした。
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、甲板からの景色もよく素敵なｸﾙｰｽﾞでした。
基本英語での案内ですが、要所は日本語のできるスタッフの方が教えてくれわかりやすかったです。
甲板は風が強く羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。
クジラを探しながらのｸﾙｰｽﾞで波も高かったためか酔い止めを飲んでいましたが後半は酔ってしまいました。スタッフの方が船酔いに効くとメンソールオイルを塗ってくれました。
帰りには歩いてイオラニ宮殿に行けるとのことで、船を降りてから離団しイオラニ宮殿等に行きバスで帰りました。

The captain was a nice guy.
The boat was rocking a lot, so it's not suitable for small children.
There were children who were vomiting.
It's more for adults.

船長がﾅｲｽｶﾞｲでした
船揺れが激しいため、小さい子向きではありません。
吐いている子供がいました
大人向けですね

About 30 to 40 people were on board (I think there were three groups from Japan). Thanks to the favorable weather, we were able to see a truly wonderful sunset. However, the issue was with the response of the boarding staff from the previous year. Perhaps because they assume Japanese people can't speak English, they didn't approach us at all. On the other hand, they actively engaged with groups from other countries (like the mainland United States and Australia), checking on drinks and snacks. My group consisted of returnee students, so there was no problem with communication in English. It's really disappointing that the quality of service changed due to stereotypes.

1船 約 30~40 名が乗船 (日本からのグループは 3 グループとかだったかと思います)
天気に恵まれたおかげでしょうが、本当に素晴らしい夕焼けをみることができました。
ただ前年だったのは乗船スタッフの対応です。
日本人=英語ができない、と思っているからか当方には声をかけてくることはありませんでした。
その一方で他の国(アメリカ本土やオーストラリアなど)からの参加グループには積極的に声をかけ、飲み物の確認やスナックの確認があります。
私のグループは帰国子女グループだったので英語でのコミュニケーションにはまったく問題ありません。
そのため、ステレオタイプが原因でサービスの質が変わるのは本当に残念でした。

On the third day in Hawaii, I was filled with excitement as I headed to the meeting place! The shuttle bus arrived! The person in charge got off the bus! Their first words were, "This tour is canceled today!?" Seriously! Unbelievable!

ハワイ3日目朝から心ウキウキワクワクさせながら集合場所へ！お迎えのバスが到着！バスから担当者が降りてきた！第一声がこのコースは今日キャンセル⁉️マジ！あり得ない！

I participated with my father and son. It was much more fun than I expected, and I think it's a recommended tour for people who love marine sports!

私の父と息子で参加。思ってたよりもすごく楽しかったようでマリンスポーツ好きの人にはお勧めのツアーと思います！

I thought it was a bit early for sunset. There were fewer Japanese people and many Westerners, but the reservations were fully booked.

All the explanations were in English. Among the stylishly dressed young people, it felt like being in a scene from a movie. In reality, people of various ages were enjoying sailing. The staff was attentive to all the guests.

サンセットの時間には少し早いかと思いました。
日本人は少なく欧米のかたが多いですが、予約は一杯でした。

説明は全て英語です。
華やかにおしゃれをした若者の中で、映画のワンシーンにいるかのようでした。実際には様々な年代の方がセーリングを楽しんでいました。スタッフも全てのお客さんに気を配っていました。

The staff was great they made sure your experience was good and always had a drink in hand you never went without one the entire time. Only problem was the water was alittle rough but they can't control that. Overall I would do again and I recommend anyone visiting and want to do a drinking cruise this is the one to go on.

It was my first time surfing, and I was worried about participating alone, especially since I'm not very good at English, but I had a great time. The instructor provided careful guidance in simple English and broken Japanese, and I was able to stand on the board from the very first time. Thank you very much.

サーフィンは初めてなうえ、ひとりでの参加、しかも英語はそんなに得意ではないので参加するまでは心配でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
インストラクターは簡単な英語とカタコトの日本語で丁寧に指導してくださり、一回目からボードの上に立つことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

What an amazing time we had on our sunset cruise that left right outside of our hotel (Hilton Hawaiian Village). The staff on the boat were incredibly friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with them as we sailed along. The drinks and snacks were great, and the best part of all were the breath-taking views, especially watching the sun set! We went with another couple with whom we were traveling, and we all put this activity toward the top of our list of memorable things we did while visiting.

I was impressed that we could see fish up close! It was exciting and fun to ride in a submarine on the sea. We participated as a three-generation family, and everyone was very satisfied.

すぐそばで魚が見れるのには感動❗海上で潜水艦に乗るときはドキドキして面白かったです。３世代での参加でしたが皆大満足です

We were the only Japanese people there. Hardly anyone spoke English. Suddenly, there was cheering and applause as everyone teased a man who arrived late. The man stylishly apologized, and even though the departure was delayed, it turned into a fun event! Last time I got seasick on a dinner cruise, so I was advised not to drink citrus beverages the day before to prevent seasickness, and I felt great!

日本人は私達だけでした。英語はほとんど喋れません。
突然、歓声と拍手がして、遅刻した男性を皆で茶化しました。
男性もカッコよくお詫びして、出航が遅れたのに、それすらも楽しいイベントになりました！。前回ディナークルーズで船酔いしたので船酔い防止に、前日から柑橘系の飲み物を取らない事を教えてもらったので体調もベストでした！

As we boarded the boat from the port and transferred to the real submarine offshore, I felt a mix of half worry and excitement about seeing the underwater world of Hawaii. It was a time when there were hardly any Japanese people around, but the Japanese explanations through the headphones helped me understand well, and I could clearly see the corals and fish on the ocean floor. Fortunately, towards the end, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming as well.

港からボートに乗り、沖で本格的な潜水艦に移るときには心配半分、これからハワイの海底が見れるというドキドキ感が入り混じりました。
日本人が殆どいないかった時間帯でしたがヘッドホンからの日本語説明で
良く理解でき海底のサンゴや魚たちの様子がはっきり見れました。
ラッキーなことに終盤にはウミガメが泳いでいるところも見られましたよ。
