All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

My husband and I had a great time snorkeling and saw lots of turtles up close. While sailing we even got to see dolphins playing around the boat. The staff was very professional, helpful and fun...highly recommend this activity!

I had a vague image of it and didn't have high expectations, but experiencing it in reality was truly moving. Riding in a submarine was also a valuable experience, and above all, I was able to experience the clear blue seabed as if I were diving myself. I'm glad I participated. You can also see sea turtles!

何となくイメージも出来るし、そこまで期待していませんでしたが、
実際に体験すると感動モノでした。
潜水艦に乗る経験も価値あるものでしたし、何よりも青く澄んだ海底を
まるで自分が潜っているみたいに体験でき、参加してよかったです。
ウミガメも見れますよ！！

Before departure, there was quite a heavy rain and rough seas, so I thought it might be canceled. However, against the backdrop of whitecaps, we set sail. Since it was a catamaran, I felt there was less rocking. When the weather is bad, it can get very cold on the boat, so it's good to have something to wear. Also, because of the all-you-can-drink option, if you get carried away and drink too much, you'll find yourself needing the restroom more often. There is indeed a type of restroom located on the left side of the bow that you enter from below. However, you have to go down a ladder of about 1 meter (and it's quite cramped inside), so those with mobility issues or elderly individuals should be extra careful.

出港する前まではかなり大雨と時化でしたので、中止になるのかな～と思って待っていたら、白波が立つ中なんと出港しました。双胴船なので揺れは少なかったように思います。天気が悪いと船上はとても寒いので羽織るものがあると良いです。また、飲み放題のため調子に乗って飲み過ぎるとトイレが近くなってきますが、なんと舳先の左側の方に下に入るタイプのトイレがあります。しかし、梯子で１mちょっと降りないと行けない（しかも中はかなり狭い）ので足が悪い方やお年寄りの方は更に気を付けて下さい。

I read the reviews on the site and decided to try the 50-minute Lomi Lomi course. It was reassuring to be able to communicate my requests in Japanese. My back and legs, which were feeling tight, felt much better! If I could have stayed a little longer, I would have considered going for a second time. I also climbed Diamond Head.

サイトの口コミを見てロミロミコース50分をうけました。
日本語で要望を伝えられるのは安心でした。
背中、足取りパンパンだったのもスッキリ！
もう少し滞在できたら2度目もと思いました。
ダイヤモンドヘッド登りましたよ。

On the day of the event, it was a bit disappointing that the luau was held indoors due to the weather, but I was greeted with a lei at the entrance and chose a Mai Tai. There were many types of food available to fill up before the show, and I was quite satisfied. The show included audience participation events, creating a friendly atmosphere. The singing and hula were fantastic, and the fire dance brought everything to a climax. It was an incredibly enjoyable evening.

当日は天候の影響で室内でのルアウとなり少し残念でしたが
入り口でレイを掛けていただき、マイタイをチョイス。
ショーの前の腹ごなしも多くの種類が並び満腹になりました。
ショーでは客席参加型のイベントもあり和やかな雰囲気でした。
歌、フラも最高、ファイヤーダンスで最高潮となり
とても楽しく過ごせた夕べでした。

I was able to participate from Japan without any worries, thanks to the kind answers to my questions during the reservation process. The atmosphere was even better than I imagined, the drinks were very delicious, and they served plenty. Both of the captains were cool, which added to the charm of the sunset cruising. I am still reminiscing about the experience since returning home. Thank you very much. I will definitely make a reservation next time.

予約の際も質問に親切にお答え頂きまして何の不安もなく日本から楽しみに参加させていただきました。想像以上にムードも良く、ドリンクがとても美味しく、沢山振舞って下さいました。お二人のキャプテンさんもカッコよく、更にサンセットクルージングの魅力が増しました。帰国してからも思い出に浸っております。ありがとうございました。次回も必ず予約します。

We boarded the boat and first headed a little offshore for some snorkeling. It’s not too far from the shore, but surprisingly there is quite a current and depth. That said, life vests are provided, so there’s no need to worry. We were able to swim while watching sea turtles and small fish.

During the sailing afterward, we got to see dolphins up close. However, the wind was strong offshore, which made the boat quite rocky. Additionally, being wet and exposed to the wind made it feel much colder, even though the sun was strong. I think motion sickness medication and a jacket are essential.

船に乗り込んでまずは少し沖に出て、そこでシュノーケリングです。岸からそこまで離れていないのですが意外に流れと深さがあります。とはいえライフベストが配られるので心配ありません。ウミガメや小さな魚を見ながら泳ぐことができました。
その後のセーリングではイルカを間近で見ることができました。ただし風が沖では強かったこともあってかなり揺れました。また濡れたまま風にあたるので日差しは強かったのにかなり冷えました。酔い止めと上着は必須だと思います。

Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!

Liz was great. She and the other staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. She gave us a couple of nice dives....we didn't have to do a thing, the crew took care of all the hard work of loading tanks and equipment, so just got to have fun. 10 out 10 would do again!

We had a great time on the Sunset Cruise, the staff were great, sunset didn’t disappoint!!
I bought the tickets as a surprise for my husband’s 60th in Hawaii, and we both had a ball! Watch those Maitais though, as they warned us, they really do creep up on you...

Such an awesome trip- got to see 3 sea turtles right off the bat. Great staff, very friendly and they go out of their way to make this experience as best they can!

I have used Sunset Sailing several times, but during busy times, I have often found it sold out after arriving on-site. This year, I took advantage of the option to make a reservation in advance. The sea changed to a deep blue, and I enjoyed views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the water. With cheerful music playing and unlimited drinks like my favorite Mai Tai, the weather was great, and I was able to see the sunset perfectly. It was absolutely wonderful! My grandchild, who experienced this for the first time, was also thrilled!

サンセットセーリングは何度か利用したことがありましたが、混雑時期のこの時間帯は現地入りしてからではsold outということが何度かあり、今年は事前に予約できるこちらを利用させてもらいました。深いブルーに変化する海、海から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチ、陽気な音楽を聴きながら大好きなマイタイ等のドリンク飲み放題、天気も良かったのでサンセットもバッチリ見ることが出来、とにかく最高でした。初体験の孫も大喜びでした!

Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!

We attended with seven family members in the Diamond Seat. The price is high, but the major benefits are being able to watch the show from the front row and having priority access to the buffet. The buffet had a long line, possibly due to the Golden Week crowds, and it was disappointing to be cut in line by those who didn't have priority. The drink bar also had a Japanese menu available. Additionally, they take a photo of you at the beginning, and later a staff member comes around selling the framed photo for $50, which is amusing. After the show, the performers allow you to take pictures in the hallway, so that was satisfying.

家族7人で、ダイヤモンドシートで参加しました。
価格は高いですが大きいメリットは、最前列でショーを観れる・ビュッフェが最優先で並べるの2点です。ビュッフェはGWの混雑のせいか長蛇の列で、優先ではない方に割込みされ残念でした。
ドリンクバーは日本語メニューもありました。
また、最初に写真撮られ、後でまわってくるスタッフさんが写真たて付き50ドルで売りに来ます笑
ショーの後、出演者の方が廊下で写真を撮らせてくれるのでそれで満足でした。

There is a live band and hula dancing, and the guests also participate and dance together. I am close with the band members, and they always accommodate my requests. It's fun, and I always look forward to it.

生バンドとフラダンスもあり、お客も一緒に参加して踊っています、私はバンドのメンバーとも親しく、いつもリクエストに応じてくえます、楽しいです、
いつも、楽しみです。

For the past few decades, I have stayed at Sheraton Waikiki every year, and I finally decided to participate this year, which I had been curious about for a long time. I regret not joining sooner and want to participate every time I visit from now on. First of all, the captain was handsome, cheerful, and fun. It was great to be able to drink alcohol, and I enjoyed the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. Most of all, I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles. It was a lot of fun.

ここ数十年、毎年シェラトンワイキキに宿泊してますが、毎回気になってたので今年思い切って参加してみました、もっと早く参加すればよかったと後悔しました、これからは行くたびに参加したいです。まずはキャプテンがイケメンで陽気で楽しかった、お酒が飲めてよかった、海からのワイキキの景色やダイヤモンドヘッドが見れてよかった、何より野生のイルカちゃんとカメちゃんに会えた事です、楽しかった。

I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sunset because it was cloudy, but I was able to see it just before leaving! Just like last time, the Mai Tai was delicious, and the snacks that were handed out tasted surprisingly good, perhaps because we were on the boat. There were many Westerners, but there were also Japanese people, and we were able to take pictures with each other's families and enjoy our time together.

曇りで夕日が見れるか心配でしたが、帰り際にちゃんと見れました！前回同様マイタイも美味しく、配られたスナック菓子も船の上のせいか何故かとても美味しく感じました。西洋人の方が多いですが、日本人も居てお互いの家族で写真を取り合ったりして仲良く過ごせました。

Wonderful cruise, attentive and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend.

From the departure, the explanations, the Mai Tai and champagne service, and the careful adjustment of the mast to ensure the boat could sail steadily were all done excellently, allowing us to relax and focus on chatting and taking photos.

出発から、説明、マイタイ、シャンペンのサービス、船が安定して航行できるようにマストの状態を注意深く調整するなど、最高の仕事ぶりで、私たちは安心して、おしゃべりや写真に集中できました。

Thank you for explaining things clearly. It was my first time, and I was happy to be able to stand! I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

分かりやすく教えて頂き、
初めてでしたが、
立つことができて嬉しかったです！
またハワイに行ったときは参加したいです！

This is my third time, and it’s always amazing no matter how many times I go! The fireworks, the ocean, the drinks, and the music in Waikiki. Enjoying a drink while gazing at the night view of Waikiki is truly the best! Since it’s an open bar, the all-you-can-drink option is fantastic!

今年で3回目になりますが、何度乗っても最高にたのです！ワイキキの花火と海とお酒と音楽と。本当にワイキキの夜景を遠目に眺めながらのお酒は最高です！オープンバーなので、飲み放題も最高☆

This was my first time surfing, and I was worried about whether I could do it, but there were about 20 people in the group with around 5 instructors who helped push us when the waves came. They also gave us signals like, "Come on, come on! Stand up!" By the third try, I started to get the hang of it and was able to ride the waves! The instructors were all friendly, and some of them spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. I definitely want to do this again next year! ☆

今回、初サーフィンとのことで、乗れるか心配でしたが、20人前後のグループにインストラクターが5人程付いて、波が来たタイミングで押してくれます。あとは、「コイデコイデー！セイザー！タッテー！」と合図をくれるので、3回目くらいにはコツが掴めて来て、波に乗れるようになります！スクールのインストラクターの方も皆さんフランクで、日本語を話せる方もいたので、安心してできました。来年も絶対やりたいです☆

You will travel to the submarine by a larger ferry from the pier and board the submarine that has surfaced. The journey to the submarine feels like a cruise with a view of Diamond Head. The boat may sway a bit, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.

Inside the submarine, there is a decent amount of space, and we were able to enjoy observing the underwater fish and sea turtles. As we navigate between the reefs, you can see many fish. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles.

It was a very enjoyable tour.

潜水艦までは桟橋から大き目のフェリーで移動し，浮上してきた潜水艦に搭乗します．
潜水艦までの移動もダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらクルージングといった雰囲気です．少々船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方は注意してください．
潜水艦内はそこそこ余裕もあり，楽しく水中の魚やウミガメを観察することができました．
漁礁の間を縫うように進むため，たくさんの魚をみることができます．
運よく自分たちはウミガメを見ることができました．
非常に楽しいツアーでした．

Had a fabulous time on the fireworks cruise with the guys from Maitai catamaran. This was for my 50th birthday and was the most amazing way to spend it.
The crew where so nice and the drinks where yummy. Great music.
Very reasonable price.
Would highly recommend these guys.
Loved it.

It's all foreigners, so it feels a bit like an away game! If you can speak English, it might be fun~ And it depends on the weather~ Also, language skills! Communication too!

外人ばっかりで、アウエーな感じ！
英語が出来れば、楽しいかも〜
そして天気次第ですね〜
あと語学力！コミニュケーションも

While I was at the sandy boarding area, a staff member approached me. I got a little wet while boarding, but it was comfortable on the boat. We were the only Asians among the passengers. Although they only spoke English, it wasn't a problem. I was able to encounter dolphins and whales, and I was very satisfied.

乗合場所の砂浜にいたら、係の方から、お声掛けされました。乗り込む時、少し濡れましたが、船の上は快適でした。利用者でアジア人は私達だけでした。英語のみですが不自由はありませんでした。イルカやクジラにも遭遇する事が出来、満足です。

You can see airplanes sunk deep on the ocean floor, making it truly an adventure. If you're lucky, you might also spot a large sea turtle swimming gracefully next to the submarine. Before diving in the submarine, you'll travel by boat, and I think the views from there are also very nice. If you mainly want to enjoy the fish, consider choosing a different tour, such as snorkeling.

深く海底に沈んでいる飛行機なども見れてまさにアドベンチャー。運が良ければ大きなウミガメが潜水艦の横を悠々と泳ぐ姿も見れます。潜水艦で潜る前に船で移動しますが、そこからの景色もとても良いと思います。なお、お魚をメインで楽しみたい方は、シュノーケルなど別なツアーにしましょう。

About 5-6 years ago, I paid $30 directly to ride the same Manukau Ikatara. The price has increased by $9-19 since then, and drinks are now charged separately. I feel it's a bit expensive.

5-6年前、30ドル直接払って、同じマヌカイカタラマン乗っていました。当時より値上がり9-19ドル、かつ飲み物有料です。
ちょっと高いと感じます。

Had a long dive with the turtles. We saw 6-8 turtles and tons of fish. Crew was super friendly and very accommodating to our needs. Felt very safe with my 11 year old daughter with us. Snacks were plentiful as most were hungry after the dive. We had a nice sail after the dive too.

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter and my partner. It started without much explanation, and we paddled out, enjoying the waves alongside surfers. After it ended, I was asked if I saw any photos, but there wasn't anyone taking pictures, so I wondered if they had taken some without us knowing. In the end, no photos were taken. I wonder if they would take pictures if requested, although it might be an additional charge. We don't have any photos of us on the canoe, and while it remains a nice memory, I think it would have been great to have some, especially since we were with a child.

5歳の娘と親子3人で参加しました。
特に説明もなく始まり、パドルをもって漕ぎ出し、サーファーと一緒に気持ち良く波乗りを楽しみました。
終了後、写真見ました？と言われましたが、特に撮影している人もいなかったですし、どこかで知らない間に撮ってたのか？とも思いましたが、結局撮っていませんでした。
写真を希望すれば、撮ってくださるのかな？別料金でしょうけど。
カヌーに乗った写真はなく、思い出に残っていますが、子連れでしたし、あったら良かったなと思いました。
