All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

There were about two groups of Japanese participants, and most were from Europe and America. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it rained shortly after departure, but just before sunset, the sun peeked out, and although it wasn't a complete double rainbow, we could see one over the ocean. Your feet will definitely get wet, but it might be good to expect that getting wet from the rain can happen. When I went, there weren't any waves splashing onto the boat. You can store your bags and shoes on the back of the chairs, so that's fine. If you want to enjoy it even more, joining in with the European and American vibe can make it quite fun. The staff also helped to liven things up, and the cheerful music playing was a nice touch.

日本人参加者は2組程度、ほとんどが欧米の方でした。あいにくの曇り空で、出発直後に雨が降りましたが、日没直前に太陽がのぞき、洋上に完全ではないですが、ダブルレインボーが見えました。足は確実濡れますが、こんな風に雨で濡れることもあるのは想定した方が良いかもしれないですね、波が船にかかるって濡れる事はわたしのときはなかったです。荷物や靴は椅子の背もたれに入れられるので大丈夫ですよ。より一層楽しむなら欧米人のノリにのっかると、結構楽しくなってきます。スタッフも盛り上げてくれるし、ご機嫌な音楽も流れているのが良かったせです。

If you want to get out of Waikiki for a quick outing then this Tradewind Sail with Mana Kai Catamaran is perfect! Departing from the middle of Waikiki, it's a beach boarding and all you need is a pair of sunglasses and water. The captain and crew took us towards out the blue ocean and there you are just sitting looking at the iconic Diamond Head.
It's was great to just relax and bake under the sun for one hour!

First and most important to me was the kindness and concern for my safety. The guys were perfect gentleman and treated me like I was their family. The sail was breathtaking! They went above and beyond to give us an experience we will not forget. It was beautiful and my pictures actually came out great! Thank you for a special memory. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Don’t hesitate to book this trip it will not disappoint you.

The staff doesn't speak any Japanese at all, but you can understand where the life jackets are and how to wear them through body language and nuances. The only other Japanese guests were a family with us, and everyone else was probably American, so we couldn't understand the English jokes and conversations, but since we came to Hawaii, we shouldn't expect Japanese. The waves were very calm, and it was clear until it started to get cloudy on our way back, which felt really nice. The experience of seeing the cityscape of Honolulu and the differently oriented Diamond Head from the sea is quite rare, making it a very valuable and refreshing experience. We were also lucky enough to have dolphins swimming alongside us. You can buy alcohol and soft drinks on board. There was a commemorative photo taken before departure, and you pay $15 when you return.

スタッフは全く日本語を話せませんが、救命胴衣がどこにあるか、どうやって着用するかの説明はボディランゲージやニュアンスでわかります。お客さんも私たちともう一組の親子だけが日本人で、あとはたぶん全員アメリカ人で、英語のジョークなど会話がわかりませんが、ハワイに来たのだから日本語に期待してはいけないのです。とても穏やかな波で、帰り際に曇ってくるまでは快晴で、とても気持ちが良かったです。海からホノルルの街並みや向きの違うダイヤモンドヘッドが見られる体験はなかなかできないので、とても貴重で、また爽快な体験でした。イルカが並走するという幸運もありました。船内でお酒やソフトドリンクが買えます。出航前に記念撮影があり、帰ってくると$15払います。

Swaying with the boat, holding my third Mai Tai, the sunset with Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline in the background was amazing.

船の揺れに身をまかせ、3杯目のﾏｲﾀｲを片手に、ﾀﾞｲｱﾓﾝﾄﾞﾍｯﾄﾞとﾜｲｷｷのﾋﾞﾙ群をﾊﾞｯｸに見た夕日は最高、感度ものでした。

I took a different surfing lesson in Hawaii five years ago, but I couldn't stand up at all, so this was my second challenge. Surprisingly, I was able to stand and ride the waves! The instructor must be really good. Surfing is definitely fun when you can catch the waves! I highly recommend it!

サーフィンは5年前に同じハワイで別のレッスン受けましたが、まともに立てづに終わり今回2回目のチャレンジ。
なんと立てて乗れました！
教え方が上手いんでしょうね。
サーフィンはやはり波に乗れれば楽しい！
是非オススメです！

I returned to Honolulu via a layover in Orlando, Florida. My body was stiff, probably from the cold on the plane and having too much fun in Orlando. On top of that, the shuttle bus from the airport was stuck in traffic... During that time, I found a place that was available for reservations, so I requested it. It was very close to the hotel, and more than anything, I was relieved to communicate in Japanese. They even had a foot bath, and the treatment was thorough. I will visit again.

フロリダ▪オーランドから乗り継ぎでホノルルまで帰りました。
機内の寒さとオーランドで遊び過ぎたツケが出たのかカラダがガチガチ…オマケに空港からの送迎バスも渋滞で進まず…そんな時に、今から予約可能という中にあったのでお願いしました。ホテルのすぐ近くでしたし何より日本語でのコミュニケーションにホッとしました。足浴まであって施術も丁寧でした
また伺います

I wanted to ride the Premium Submarine, but it was under regular maintenance, so I booked the Standard Submarine instead. I had heard that the windows were smaller and the seats were narrower compared to the Premium, but it wasn't as cramped as I expected, and the windows were decent enough for viewing and taking photos or videos without much issue.

The diving time was 45 minutes, which was sufficient to enjoy the experience. I read on one site that there weren't many fish to see, but during our trip, we were able to see quite a few. If I had to say, the fish didn't appear as colorful as in the advertisements, and overall, it looked quite blue. But that's the true color of the ocean, isn't it? This made me feel like I was really diving.

It was great. One thing to note is that the visibility differs on the left and right sides of the submarine; for example, if there are reefs visible on the right, there's nothing on the left, and vice versa. During those times when nothing is visible, it can get a bit boring.

プレミアム・サブマリンに乗りたかったのですが、定期点検中でスタンダード・サブマリンを予約しました。
プレミアムに比べ窓も小さく席も狭いと聞いていましたが、思ったほど狭くなく、窓もそれなりで、見るのは勿論、写真やビデオ撮影にもそれほど問題はありませんでした。
潜水時間は45分でしたが堪能するのに十分な時間でした。
あるサイトで魚がそれほど見られないと書かれていましたが、私たちの時はそれなりに見ることが出来ました。
強いて言うなら広告のようにカラフルに魚は見えず全体的に青く見えます。
でもそれって本当の海の色なんですよね。
こちらのほうが、本当に潜っているんだなぁっていう気持ちになりました。
よかったです。
あとは、潜水艦の左右で視界が違うので、右に漁礁が見えると左は何もなく、
その反対もあり、その見えない時間はちょっと暇です。

This trip is AMAZING and Highly recommended. The 4 gentlemen that took us out were great and very attentive. They took us to the best spot for snorkelling and saw a ton if sea turtles. The atmosphere and company can't be beat. If you don't do ANYTHING ELSE in Hawaii do THIS!!!!

Previously, I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran to see the sunset sinking on the horizon. I was moved then, so this time I boarded to watch the Friday fireworks at Hilton. Since Hilton Village is my regular accommodation, I had been watching the Friday fireworks from the beach and poolside in front of Hilton Village, but seeing the fireworks from the sea was something special. I sat on the port side, but when we started moving, I realized we were facing the opposite side of the beach and thought I might have made a mistake. However, we stopped facing the fireworks venue, so I had a good view. If you sit close to the bow, prepared to get splashed by the waves, you can see the fireworks well. The crew only spoke English but were kind. Because of that, I ended up drinking quite a bit—Mai Tai, beer, and white wine—and then I needed to go to the restroom, which was a bit of a problem. Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was a window on the port side, and when I went to check it out, I found that it was the restroom.

以前、水平線に沈む夕日を見にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗船しました。その時も感動しましたので、今回はヒルトンの金曜花火を見るために乗船しました。ヒルトンビレッジが常宿なので金曜花火はヒルトンビレッジ前の浜辺やプールサイドから見ていましたが、海上から見る花火はまた格別でした。左舷の席に座りましたが、走り出すと浜辺と反対側と気づき失敗したかなと思いましたが、花火会場に舳先を向けて止まったのでよく見えました。波を被るのを覚悟で舳先近くに座れば花火がよく見えます。クルーは英語しか話せませんが親切でした。そのためマイタイ、ビール、白ワインと結構飲んでしまいトイレに行きたくなり困ってしまいました。よく見ると左舷に窓があり、そこに潜る人を見つけ、見に行くとそこがトイレでした。

Since it was a VIP course, we started in a lounge-like area with Mai Tais and self-service snacks (such as prosciutto with pineapple, fruit skewers with melon, macadamia nuts, and potato chips). After that, we moved to our dining seats and enjoyed a course meal. We had informed Veltra in advance that we were bringing our one-year-old daughter, so a seat for her was also prepared.

During the meal, our daughter was able to participate in a treasure hunt game, which made her happy as she could walk around the venue (sitting still for the entire meal would have been boring for a one-year-old).

After the meal, the show began. With the VIP course, we could watch the show from our dining seats (on the first floor) while continuing to enjoy our drinks. For the regular course, it seemed that guests finished their meals outside the venue before entering the second-floor seating.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by an Elvis Presley impersonation show, a Michael Jackson impersonation show, and finally, fire dancing and hula dancing. All of it was wonderful, and we had a great time. I'm not sure if the quality of the Michael impersonation was high, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Last year, we watched a hula dance show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was a more traditional show that showcased Hawaiian culture without any sexy costumes (and that was good in its own way). In contrast, this show was a complete entertainment show with sexy and beautiful hula costumes, and it also allowed for a lively rock atmosphere, making us feel like we were in America! While I didn't know many of the songs, I still had a lot of fun.

Since there is a rock segment, the time for hula dancing isn't very long, so if you want to focus solely on hula dancing, I would recommend other shows. However, if you want to enjoy both American-style music and hula dancing, this show is highly recommended. The location is also at the Royal Hawaiian Center, so for those staying in Waikiki, it's within walking distance, which is a great point for efficient use of time.

VIPコースでしたので、初めにラウンジのようなところでマイタイとセルフサービスのおつまみ（生ハムパイナップル、メロン等の果物串、マカデミアナッツ、ポテトチップス）をいただきました。
それから、各自食事の席まで移動し、コース料理をいただきました。
我が家は1歳の娘連れであることをベルトラさんを通して事前に伝えていたため、娘の席も用意していただいていました。
食事の間に娘は宝探しゲームに参加させていただき、会場を歩くことができて喜んでいました。（1歳の娘にとって食事中ずっとイスに座っているのは退屈なので）

食事が終わると、ショーが始まります。
VIPコースは食事の席（1階席）でそのまま観覧するため、引き続き飲み物を飲みながら見ました。
普通のコースだと、会場の外で食事を終えてから2階席に入場していたようです。

ショーはフラダンスから始まり、エルビスプレスリーの（ものまね）ショー、マイケルジャクソンの（ものまね）ショー、最後にファイヤーダンスとフラダンスという感じで進みました。
どれもとても素敵で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
マイケルのものまねのクオリティーが高かったのかどうかは謎ですが（笑）、楽しめたのでありだと思います。

昨年はポリネシア・カルチャーセンターのフラダンスショーを見ましたが、そちらは、セクシーな衣装などはなしでハワイの文化をしっかり見せる正統派なショーという感じでした。（それはそれでよかったです）
それに対してこちらは完全なエンターテイメントショーで、フラダンスの衣装もセクシーで素敵で、同時に、ロックで盛り上がることもでき、「アメリカにきたって気がする！（笑）」という気分を味わうことができました。
知っている曲は多くありませんでしたが、それでもとても楽しめました。

ロックの時間がある分、フラダンスの時間は長くありませんので、フラダンスだけをじっくり見たい方は他のショーをお勧めしますが、アメリカっぽい音楽もフラダンスも両方楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、ワイキキに宿泊している方は徒歩で行けますので、時間が効率的に使えるのも良い点ではないでしょうか。

I made a reservation for the last day in Hawaii on Friday. I was really looking forward to it, but… there was no information about when, what, or where things were happening. It seems there was live music, but in the end, I couldn't see or hear anything.

The dinner buffet guests were on the 1st and 2nd floors, while the appetizer guests were on the 3rd floor. After boarding, we were taken to the 1st floor, and seating was free, but there was no guidance on that either, so everyone was just wandering around aimlessly.

For some reason, it seemed that non-Japanese guests had arrived early and had already taken the window seats and were eating. I had also made a reservation for a children's chair since I was attending with a small child, but since there was no assigned table, they didn't bring it until I asked. The child was really looking forward to the hula dance, so it was truly disappointing.

In the end, I couldn't see it, but after watching the fireworks, I caught a glimpse of guests who seemed to be feeling good after drinking and were dancing with the dancers, which felt like the atmosphere of a bar or club. The fireworks and night view were beautiful, but it was really disappointing.

金曜日のHawaii最終日に予約しました
とても楽しみにしていたのですが…
いつ・なにを・どこでしているのかも案内すら無く
生演奏もしていたようですが結局見ることも聞くことも出来ませんでした
ディナービュッフェの客は1F2Fアペタイザーの客は3F
乗船後1Fに通され席も自由席でしたがその案内も無く、ただただみんなウロウロゴソゴソするばかり
何故か？日本人以外の客は早々に来ていたようで窓際の席に陣取りすでに食事をしている状態
小さな子供も連れての参加で事前に子供椅子の予約もしていましたが…
テーブルが決まっているわけでもないので言うまで持ってきてくれず
子供がフラダンス等とても楽しみにしていたのに本当に残念でした
結局は見れなかったのですが…最後花火を見終わりちらっと見た感じでは
飲んで気分が良くなったお客さんがダンサーと共に踊って楽しんでいる…
と言うその辺のバーやクラブのノリでした
花火や夜景は綺麗だったのに本当に残念でした。

We departed about an hour before sunset and quickly headed out to sea. With a drink included in the price, we enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. I would love to go again on my next trip.

夕日の落ちる約１時間前に出発し、あっという間に沖へ。料金に含まれているドリンク片手に美しいハワイのサンセットを楽しみました。また旅行の際は乗りたいです。

Had a great time out, saw loads of turtles and even dolphins. Also great to experience the waves whilst sailing out. Jeromino was a really great guide, the whole team were brilliant and took fantastic care of us. Would really recommend this tour definite one oc the highlights of our stay on Oahu!

It was great that I could ride easily in just two hours. The scenery was amazing!! However, the photo data I purchased at the end was corrupted and couldn't be read. I understand that such things can happen, but in other active options, I received a letter with contact information and methods in case the receipt and data couldn't be read. Unfortunately, I didn't receive that from Hands Harden. I even gave a proper tip... It's disappointing because I was looking forward to it.

2時間で簡単に乗れて良かったです。
景色も最高‼︎
でも最後に購入させてもらった写真のデーターが壊れてて読み取れませんでした。
そういう場合もあると思うので仕方ないですが
他のアクティブオプションでも撮って下さった写真を購入した事ありますが領収書とデーターが読み込めなかった時の連絡先、方法などが記入した手紙もちゃんと頂きました。
こちらのハンズハーデンさんは無かったです。
チップもちゃんとお渡ししたのに‥
残念です。楽しみにしてたのに。

A cute storm named Tropical Storm Olivia had just passed by Oahu, so there was some wind and light rain, which made my fear of heights reach its maximum. I participated with my three children, and our seats were assigned from the beginning, with me being seated next to the pilot. Despite my nervousness, he kept reassuring me with "No problem!" and gently asked, "Are you okay?" with a smile, which helped me calm down. We flew almost all the way around Oahu, saw a secret waterfall nestled between mountains that can only be approached by helicopter, and got close to the slopes around Kualoa. Towards the end of the flight, we even passed over planes waiting to land at Honolulu Airport. It was a rare experience that can only be enjoyed from a helicopter. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.

トロピカルストームオリビアという可愛い名前のストームがオアフ島横を通り過ぎた後だったので風も吹き小雨を降ってたので
高所恐怖症の私の緊張はMAXでした。
子供3人と私との4人の参加で座席は初めから決まってて私はパイロットの横に案内されました。緊張してる私に始終No probelm‼︎ と深呼吸してAre you O.K？と優しく笑顔で声掛けて下さり落ち着きました。オアフ島をほぼ一周しヘリでしか近づけない山の合間にある秘密の滝を見せてくれたりクアロア辺りの山の斜面に近付いたり飛行最後の方ではホノルル空港の着陸待機の飛行機の上を通過したりヘリ搭乗しか味わえない貴重な体験でした。今回のハワイ旅の
1番の想い出になりました。

Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset due to the cloudy weather, but the night view and fireworks visible from the sea were great. The boat sways quite a bit, and if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be tough for you.

残念ながら曇りだったため綺麗なサンセットは見られませんでしたが、海から見える夜景と花火はよかったです。
船は結構揺れて長時間乗っているので酔いやすい方は辛いかもしれません。

It was a fun stage not just for dining and watching the show, but also featuring interactive events! There was a practice time for hula dancing, a contest where randomly selected guests were invited on stage to blow a conch shell (or something like that?), and opportunities to dance with the performers—there was so much going on. The hula dancers showcased various patterns of dance. The English MC was explaining things, but it was a bit fast and hard to understand... Still, I enjoyed it thoroughly. The fire dance was amazing!

The meal had a Hawaiian flair, and it was nice that it wasn't overly extravagant. The fish dish was the most delicious.

ただ食事をしてショーを見るだけでなく、参加型イベントもある楽しいステージでした！
フラダンスの練習タイムがあったり、お客さんの中からランダムにステージに上げられて、ホラ貝（のようなもの？）を吹くコンテストがあったり、ダンサーと一緒に踊ったり、盛りだくさんです。
フラダンスは様々なパターンのダンスを見せてくれます。
英語のMCで説明していたようですが、早口でよくわからず、、、
それでも十分楽しめました。
ファイヤーダンスは最高でしたね！

お食事はハワイらしい内容で、豪華すぎなくて良かったです。
お魚料理が一番美味しかったです。

I had experienced stand-up paddleboarding a few times in my local sea, but it was my first time in the waters of Waikiki. The waves were a bit rough, making it difficult to maintain my balance, but thanks to the kind support of the instructor, I had a great time. Thank you!

SUPは何度か地元の海で体験していましたが、ワイキキの海では初めてでした。
波は少し荒めでバランスをとるのが難しかったですが、インストラクターの親切な対応で楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございました！

He was a cheerful reggae-loving teacher who seemed a bit eccentric, but when the waves came, he switched to serious mode. When he told me to stand up, I surprisingly managed to ride the waves! There were no other students, so it ended up being a private lesson, and it seemed like time didn't matter; we only finished when I finally said I was tired! It was worth every penny!

陽気なレゲイ好きのちょっと怪しい先生だったけど、波がくると真剣モードで、先生が立てーって言って立つとなぜか不思議なくらい波に乗れました！！他に生徒はいなくて結局プライベートレッスンで、時間も関係無しなのかこっちが疲れたって言ってやっと終了したくらいでした！お値段以上です！

当日は天気は良かったものの、
肝心のサンセットに雲がかかってしまい、、、
残念な結果に終わりました。

しかしながら、小さな船でのアクティビティのため、
船長が気軽に写真を撮ってくれるなど、
対応自体はとても良かったです！
日本人は僕らの他におらず、
終始 外国の気分を味わえたのは、
ハワイに 1週間いてこの船上だけでした。

他のツアーと比較した上で、
コチラに申し込むことに決めたのですが、
運次第ということを考えると、
お手軽に参加できるため、
このアクティビティがちょうどいいなと思いました。

I watched from the second floor with a simple ticket without a meal. As expected from a professional. Both Michael and Presley had high quality performances. The show ended in the blink of an eye.

食事なしのシンプルなチケットで2階席で見ました。さすがプロですね。マイケルもプレスリーも、クオリティ高いです。あっという間にショーが終わっちゃいました。

This is my second time participating, having joined for the first time two years ago. I wanted my friend to experience it, so I participated on the last day of our stay, just like last time. We were able to see a sunset over the sea without clouds and a large rainbow over Ka'ena Point. It was my first time seeing such a big and vivid rainbow. After the sunset, there was a party on the boat. It was a lot of fun, and I'm sure it will be a memorable experience. I highly recommend it.

二年前に初めて参加して今回２回目です。
友人に体験させたくて前回と同様、滞在最終日に参加しました。雲のない海に沈むサンセットとカイマナヒラにかかる大きなレインボーがみられました。初めてみました。こんなに大きなくっきりとした虹。サンセットのあとは船上パーティー。これは楽しいです。きっと思い出に残ると思います。おすすめです。

The meeting place was the beach counter at the Royal Hawaiian, so it was easy to find by walking along the beach. When I spoke to the staff at the counter, I was instructed to:
- Place my flip-flops in the designated area
- Wear the rash guard that was drying
- Sit in a chair under the umbrella and wait

The rash guard was not the typical one I expected; it was a long-sleeved yellow one. And perhaps because it hadn't been washed much, it had a bit of a smell, haha. Well, I thought, once I get in the ocean, it will be fine! But if you're concerned, I recommend bringing your own rash guard! I will do that next time too! Haha.

While I was sitting and waiting, someone who seemed to be the instructor called out to me. I introduced myself, thinking this might be the person. They quickly taught me how to ride the board, how to paddle, and how to get back on if I fell. Then, when I was handed the board, I was told, "You can do it!" and directed to head towards the ocean.

Wait, am I going alone already? Feeling anxious, I headed towards the ocean and got on the board as instructed. It was more stable than a surfing board, and it was easy to get on. First, I paddled right while sitting, then left, and I felt a bit reassured as I sensed I was moving forward. Before long, the instructor came and led the way, giving me directional instructions as we moved further out.

Floating on the ocean felt really nice. Just as I was feeling moved by the experience, I heard, "Stand up!" Wait, stand up? Already? Is this the American way of getting used to it physically? I was surprised by how quickly things were moving, but I decided to stand up as I had practiced. I managed to stand up, albeit a bit wobbly.

As I paddled desperately, the instructor shouted, "Dolphin! Dolphin!" There was a pod of dolphins swimming just ahead! I couldn't believe I was seeing a pod of dolphins in the waters of Waikiki! There were about six of them. I was really lucky, and the instructor was excited too.

After that, under the instructor's guidance, I alternated between standing and sitting while experiencing riding the waves, and towards the end, I even saw a rainbow from the board. My first SUP experience started with anxiety, but I’m really glad I gathered the courage to challenge myself.

集合場所はロイヤルハワイアンのビーチカウンターなので、ビーチ沿いに歩けばすぐわかりました。
カウンターにいるスタッフに声をかけたら
・ビーサンを指定の場所に置く
・干してあるラッシュを着る
・パラソルの下の椅子に座って待つ
ことを指示されました。
ラッシュが私が思っていたよくあるラッシュではなく、黄色の長袖でした。
そして、おそらくあまり洗ってないからか少し匂う笑
まぁ海に入ればなんとかなる！と私は切り替えましたが、気になる方はご自分のラッシュを持っていくことをお勧めします！私も次回はそうします！笑
座って待っていると先生らしき人から声をかけられます。
たぶん、この人かと思いながら自己紹介。
早々にボードの乗り方、パドルの操作方法、落ちた時の登り方を教えてもらいました。
じゃあボード持ってと、ボードを持たされると
「you can do it!」
と声をかけられ海に向かうように指示が。
え、これ、もう一人でいく感じなん？
不安になりながらも海に向かい、言われたようにボードに乗りました。
サーフィンのボードより安定感があり、乗るのは簡単にできました。
まずは座った状態で右漕いで、左漕いで
なんとなく前に進んでるのを感じて少し安心
ほどなく先生が来て先頭を進んで私に方向の指示を出してくれながらどんどん沖に進んでいきます。
海の上に浮かぶのは本当に気持ちがよかったです。
と感動もそこそこに
「立って！」
え、立つの？もう？
アメリカって身体で慣れろ精神なんでしょうか？展開が早くてびっくりしましたが、練習したように立って見ることに。
へっぴりごしになりながらもどうにか立てました。
そのまま必死に漕いでると
「ドルフィン！ドルフィン！」
と先生が！
すぐ先にイルカの群れが泳いでました。
まさかワイキキの海でイルカの群れを見れるなんて！6頭ちかくいました。
本当にラッキー、先生も興奮してました。
その後も先生の指示のもと立ったり座ったりしながら、波乗りも体験させてもらって、最後の方にはボードの上から虹まで見れました。
不安から始まった初めてのSUP体験でしたが、本当に勇気をだしてチャレンジして良かったです。

Rock and hula. I couldn't imagine what kind of show it would be as I checked in. I was guided to a tent next to the reception where they offered a welcome drink, and I was asked if I wanted a Mai Tai cocktail or a non-alcoholic version. During and before the meal, dancers from the main show entertained us with singing and dancing. The food was delicious, and the whole roasted pig was exquisite. You can order drink refills from your seat and pay on the spot. The show itself was of high quality, allowing you to enjoy hula, rock, Polynesian, and pop music. I think it's a show you definitely should see.

ロックとフラ。どんなショーになるのか想像もつかないまま受付。
受付横のテントに案内されてウェルカムドリンクのマイタイはカクテルとノンアルコールを聞いてくれる。食事の前や食事中も、本編に出演しているダンサーが歌や躍りで盛り上げてくれる。食事も美味しく、豚の丸焼きは絶品でした。ドリンクのおかわりは座席で注文し、その場で支払いです。
ショーも完成度が高く、フラ、ロック、ポリネシアン、ポップスすべて堪能できます。是非見てほしいショーだと思います。

Since it was a private lesson, I was taught carefully and thoroughly, and I had a lot of fun. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would like to request it again.

プライベートレッスンだったので、じっくり丁寧に教えていただきとても楽しかったです。またハワイに行くことがあったらお願いしたいと思います。

My husband and I had so much fun on the catamaran...the view we had at sunset was absolutely amazing! The crew was friendly and very welcoming.

What a great night to finish off our trip to Waikiki, the show was very entertaining showcasing various cultures from the South Pacific and the food was great, a good mix of traditional and exotic, compere for the evening was excellent.

I participated in a plan with hotel pickup on Sunday morning. A Japanese female staff member came to pick us up, and out of the 12 participants, 10 were Japanese.

At the beach, three staff members assisted us, so for beginners, joining a group is more than enough. When the waves came, they pushed the boards and signaled with simple Japanese phrases like "Paddle!" and "Stand up!" The lessons took place close to the shore where it was just shallow enough to stand. That said, we were in Hawaii, and there were plenty of waves for practice. After a while, some skilled participants were taken out to the ocean by one of the veteran staff members.

We were a couple in our 40s and 50s, the oldest participants. We usually exercise by hiking, but it required quite a bit of stamina. The other participants were mostly in their 30s, and you could clearly see who was tired and who wasn't. If you get tired, you can just float in the sea, but if you want to ride the waves, you obviously have to paddle out each time.

As mentioned in other experiences, there are no lockers for valuables. Everyone just places their belongings on a shelf in a visible area, but there always seem to be at least two staff members in the shop, and since it's a store, there are customers coming and going. It's best to bring only the minimum necessary, like some dollars for tips, to feel secure. There are no separate changing areas, so on the way back, you'll be putting clothes over your wet swimsuit. When I read about this in other reviews, I thought, "Oh no," but in the Hawaiian sun and atmosphere, it didn't bother me at all.

ホテル送迎付きのプランで、日曜の午前中に参加しました。日本人の女性スタッフが迎えに来てくれ、参加者12人中10人が日本人でした。

海では３人ものスタッフが付いてくれましたので、初心者にはグループ参加で十分です。波が来たらボードを押してくれ、「漕いでー!」「立ってー!」とカタコトの日本語で合図してくれます。レッスンは、ギリギリ、足で立てる岸辺に近い場所で行われます。だからと言ってそこはハワイ、練習には十分な波がきます。しばらくすると、上手な数人は、ベテランらしきスタッフの1人が沖まで連れて行ってくれていました。

当方40代と50代の夫婦で、最年長参加者でした。普段から登山をして運動しているのですが、相当な体力が要りました。他の皆さんは30代までですが、疲れている様子の人とそうでない人がはっきり分かれていました。疲れたらずっと海に漂っていればいい訳ですが、波に乗りたければ、当然、毎回パドリングして沖まで行かなければなりません。

他の体験談にもある通り、貴重品を入れるロッカーなどはありません。目立つ場所にある棚に全員の荷物を置くだけですが、お店にはいつも2人以上のスタッフが要るようですし、お店なのでお客さんの出入りもあります。最低限必要な、チップ用のドルだけを持って行かれると安心です。
仕切られた着替えるところもないので、帰りは濡れた水着の上に服を着て帰ります。他の体験談を読んだときは「えーっ」と思いましたが、ハワイの日差しと雰囲気では全く気になりませんでしたよ。

We participated as a couple.
The instructions were in English, but they explained everything in a way we could understand, and we enjoyed ourselves throughout.
After moving to the sea turtle point, we had plenty of fun snorkeling, and after getting out of the water, we went sailing towards Diamond Head. We were super excited to see sea turtles for the first time while sailing.
Even though we weren't far from the beach, there were a lot of sea turtles.
We were able to take pictures with the GoPro we brought.
The sailing was faster than we expected and felt really good; I'm so glad we participated.
(It was mentioned that fins would incur a fee, but it turns out there was no charge. In fact, I think without fins, unless you're very confident in your swimming, you would likely be swept away.)

夫婦で参加しました。
英語のみの案内でしたが、こちらが分かるように説明して下さり、終始楽しめました。
海亀のポイントまで移動してからたっぷりシュノーケリングを楽しみ、海から上がってからはダイヤモンドヘッドの方までセーリング。初めての海亀にセーリングに大興奮。
ビーチからそんなに離れていないのに、海亀もたくさんいました。
持参したgoproで撮影もできました。
セーリングは思った以上にスピードがありとても気持ち良く、参加出来て本当に良かったです。
(フィンは有料と記載がありましたが、お金はかからないそうです。
むしろフィンがないと余程泳ぎに自信がない限り、流されてしまうと思います。)
