All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

Loved it. Luau Buffett Dinner excellent. Cast members made it so much fun. Cocktails spot on.
Really enjoyed the Show - will be recommending to my friends

I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some anti-nausea medication, but I still ended up feeling sick because of the strong winds. We set sail to coincide with the sunset, but unfortunately, clouds covered the sky at sunset, and we could barely see the sun. I understand that activities like this are affected by the weather, so I know it's difficult, but it was a bit disappointing.

車酔いなどしやすいので酔い止めは飲んでいきましたが、風が強かったのもあり酔ってしまいました。
また、サンセットの時間に合わせて出航したものの、サンセットの時間には雲がかかり太陽がほぼ見えない状態でした。天候に左右されるアクティビティのため難しいとは思いますが、少し残念でした。

I participated in the Atlantis submarine tour that started at 3 PM. The submarine we boarded was the "Standard" one, not the "Premium."

What was disappointing:
When I signed up, the photos on the website were very beautiful, and I was hoping to see something just as stunning. Unfortunately, the water wasn't as clear, and I couldn't see as vividly as I had hoped. The submarine offers multilingual support with free headphones, but my headphone jack seemed to be broken, and I couldn't hear anything. The crew responded quickly, and I was able to listen through another jack. The Premium submarine might have better performance, so I would like to try that one next time. We took a boat to reach the submarine, and that boat was really rocky! On windy days, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

What was good:
Under the sea, there were not only fish but also sunken ships and airplane wrecks, making it a treasure trove of sights! We were able to see a lot of fish gathering around those sites. My elementary school son was very excited to see a sunken ship for the first time. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to get a bit bored towards the end. On the boat to the submarine, snacks, drinks, and souvenirs were available for purchase, which was nice. The crew members were very cheerful and kind; when my 3-year-old daughter struggled to go down the ladder, one of them carried her down.

Although the "Premium" submarine was closed for maintenance this time, I would like to try it next time.

午後3時からスタートのアトランティス潜水艦ツアーに参加しました。
乗り込んだ船は、「プレミアム」ではなくて「スタンダード」の潜水艦です。

残念だったところ：
申し込みをしたときのWEBページの写真がとても綺麗で、こんなに綺麗に見えるのかなあ、と期待して行きましたが、残念ながら、ここまで水も澄んでおらず鮮明に見ることができませんでした。潜水艦は無料のヘッドホンで多言語対応しているのですが、私のヘッドホンの差し込みプラグは故障していたのか音が出ませんでした。クルーの方がすぐに対応してくれてほかのプラグから聞くことはできました。プレミアムの潜水艦のほうが性能がいいのかもしれないので、今度はそちらに乗りたいです。潜水艦に乗り込む沖までは船で行くのですが、その船がすごい揺れました！風が強い日はとくに、乗り物酔いしやすい方は要注意です。

良かったところ：
海の中には、魚だけではなく沈没した船や飛行機の機体なども眠っておりみどころは満載です！そこに集まるお魚もとてもたくさん見ることができました。小学生の息子は沈没船を初めて見てとても興奮していました。３歳の娘は後半は少し飽きてしまったようでした。潜水艦に行くまでの船の中では、軽食や飲み物、お土産を買うこともできます。それも良かったです。クルーの方はとても明るく親切で、３歳の娘がはしごを降りるのに苦労したときには抱きかかえて降りてくれました。

今回はメンテナンス中でお休み中でしたが、今度は「プレミアム」の潜水艦に乗ってみたいです。

The yachts floating offshore in the sunset were very impressive, like a painting.

The photo taken before boarding became a nice keepsake.

The boarding area was easily accessible and comfortable.

快適でした

I was worried about the weather and whether the fireworks would be launched, but they started as scheduled at 8 PM, and I was able to enjoy the fireworks from the boat. After that, we cruised near Diamond Head, and the night view of Waikiki was beautiful.

花火が打ち上げられるか天候が心配でしたが、予定通り8時から打ち上げられ、船上から花火を堪能できました。その後、ダイヤモンドヘッド近辺までクルーズして、ワイキキの夜景がきれいでした。

As someone in my 50s without much confidence in my physical fitness, I decided to try surfing. I participated in a group lesson, but I was able to take breaks at my own pace. It was quite challenging, but I had a great time. I successfully rode the waves a few times by following the instructions I was given, which made me very satisfied. The coach was also supportive, making it easier for me to ride, and I really enjoyed it.

教わった通りにやってみて何回か無事波乗り成功。満足でした。
コーチも乗りやすいようにサポートしてくれ楽しかったです。

I always used to go catamaran sailing in Waikiki, but it was my first time on a Friday night. The cruise after sunset was wonderful, and with the calm sea and a sky full of stars, I was reminded once again of how great Hawaii is.

Speaking of Friday nights, there are the Hilton fireworks, and seeing the fireworks from the sea offers a panoramic view that feels different from watching them up close, which was really nice.

It seems that both Friday night and sunset cruises often get fully booked, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. By the way, alcoholic beverages are available for free flow. I enjoyed about three glasses of sparkling wine.

ワイキキでは必ずカタマランセーリングを利用していましたが、金曜夜は初めての利用でした。サンセット後のクルージングでしたが穏やかな海と満点の星に「やっぱりハワイはいいな～」とあらためて感じることができました。
金曜夜と言えばヒルトン花火ですが、海から見る花火はパノラマミックで近くで見るのとはまた違った感じでよかったです。
金曜夜はもちろん、サンセットクルーズも予約で満席になることが多いようです。ご利用の際には事前予約をおススメします。
ちなみにアルコール類がフリーフローでいただけます。スパークリングワインを3杯ほどいただきました。

Thank you very much for your help.
I was disappointed that the guest I was looking forward to wasn't there on the day, but the band that performed was very good, and the food and atmosphere were excellent.
If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to use your services.

大変お世話になりました。
当日、目当てのゲストではなかったので残念でしたが、当日のバンドの方達もとてもよく、お料理、雰囲気とても良かったです。
またハワイに行く時がありましたら是非利用させていただきたいと思っております。

We participated during our honeymoon. Initially, I wanted to see a fire dance and did some research, but there weren't any interesting options close to our hotel (Royal Hawaiian), so we booked this show, which seemed to have a lot of content beyond just the fire dance.

I'm in my 30s and don't know much about Elvis or American songs from before that era. However, I think the show is enjoyable even if you don't know the songs. The overwhelming vocal talent and powerful dancing are definitely highlights.

We chose a dinner plan, but I felt that the time between the end of dinner and the start of the show was a bit long. The meal was satisfactory. If I go again, I think I would prefer just the show with one drink included.

新婚旅行中に参加しました。
当初はファイヤーダンスが見たいと思い、色々調べていたのですが、自分たちのホテル(ロイヤルハワイアン)から近いところで興味を引く催行が無く、ファイヤーダンス以外も盛りだくさんの内容で楽しめそうなこのショーを予約しました。

当方30代でエルビスやそれより前のアメリカの曲はあまり知りません。ですが、わからなくても楽しめる内容になっていると思います。
圧倒的な歌唱力とパワフルなダンスが見ものです。

ディナー付きのプランを選択しましたが、ディナー終了からショーまでの時間が少し長いかなと感じました。食事は及第点。
次回行くのならばワンドリンク付きのショーのみでイイかなと思いました。

I participated with a friend. A Japanese lady taught us how to ride, and off we went to the sea. I thought the two older women wouldn't be able to ride, but they did quite well and it was a lot of fun. I want to challenge myself again!

Due to the storm approaching the Hawaiian Islands from the previous day, the event was held indoors, and I didn't feel much benefit from the diamond seating arrangement. The meals were served buffet-style, and while there was some priority, it was mostly free seating. Additionally, there were very long lines, with a gap of over 30 minutes between the front and the back, so there's room for improvement there. As for the food, I thought it was just okay. However, the show itself was highly entertaining and very enjoyable.

前日からのストームがハワイ諸島接近で雨風強く室内での開催となり席の配置がダイヤモンドでも余りメリットを感じなかった、また食事はビッフェ式だが一応優先はあったがほぼ自由となり、また非常に長い列が発生し軽く30分以上は先頭と最後尾には差があったのでそこは改善余地あり、食事内容はまあこんなもんかなぁと思う内容だった。しかしショー自体はエンターテイメントが高く見応え充分でした。

On our last day of vacation, we took the morning cruise. It was amazing! Woody and Zach are great! It was so relaxing ... And those views! Just gorgeous! We had the added bonus of seeing sea turtles and dolphins ... And Woody drew closer and cut the engine so we could watch them for a while. If we had found this cruise sooner we would definitely have taken it more than once.

Amazing experience. Everyone was supper nice and the entertainment was amazing as well

I made a reservation to board the cruise in time for the Hilton fireworks. The meeting point is at the beach at the end of the path lined with surfboards, located between the Halekulani and the Sheraton. Most of the participants were foreigners, but there was no problem joining even if you can't speak English. Once we set sail, they started serving drinks, including Mai Tais. There is a bartender in the middle of the boat, so you can go there to get your drinks. Although it's an all-you-can-drink option, you need to actively go and ask for more, as they won't come to you.

The Hilton fireworks aren't as impressive compared to Japanese fireworks, but the night cruise with the sea breeze was quite pleasant.

ヒルトンの花火に合わせて予約して乗船しました。集合場所は、ハレクラニとシェラトンの間にある、サーフィンボードがたくさん並べてある通路の突き当たりのビーチ。外人さんが8割方でしたが、英語が喋れなくても参加に問題はありません。出航すると、マイタイを始めドリンクを配り始めてくれます。基本的には船の真ん中にバーテンダーがいますのでそこに取りに行ってうけとります。飲み放題とはありますが、自分からどんどんもらいに行かないと、向こうからはきいてくれないです。
ヒルトンの花火、日本の花火と比べたら、大したことはありませんが、潮風を受けながらのナイトクルーズ、結構気持ち良かったです。

We were blessed with great weather and enjoyed a wonderful sunset while having a good time with wine and beer. I prefer this type of boat over large cruise ships. Whenever I visit Hawaii, I always join a tour that includes a ride on a catamaran. The special feeling that you can't experience every day is the best. I highly recommend it to everyone.

天気に恵まれ素敵な夕日を見ながら、ワインとビールで楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。私は大型クルーズ船より今回のような船の方が好きです。ハワイに訪れると必ずカタマラン船に乗船するツアーに参加します。普段味わえない特別感が最高。皆さんにもお薦めです。

Wonderful evening on the Star of Honolulu! Entertainment & music was fantastic! A huge thank you to all the entertainers, staff, musicians, crew & captain of the ship! Our wait staff, Nicole was exceptional! They all made our evening memorable!

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, followed by approximately an hour of cruising before returning. When I joined, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming.

It was great to experience something out of the ordinary while snorkeling slowly in deeper waters and swimming alongside the fish and sea turtles. The water was clearer than I expected, making it enjoyable to swim. For Japanese speakers, a simple one-page notice with precautions was provided.

12時からのツアーに参加しました。
シュノーケリングは大体1時間程度で行われました。そのあと1時間程度クルージングをして戻る流れです。
私が参加した時はタイミングよくウミガメが泳いでいるのがみれました。

深めのところをゆっくりシュノーケリングで、さかななウミガメをみながら泳ぐことで非日常を感じることができてよかったです。
また思っていたよりも海の透明度も高く泳いでいて楽しかったです。
日本人対応だと、注意事項など簡単な1枚の注意書きが書いてある紙が渡されました。

Snorkeling in the middle of the ocean, just a short cruise from Waikiki Beach... I was thrilled to see large sea turtles and fish swimming right beside me. On the way back, we cruised a bit offshore, cutting through the wind. It was a wonderful activity that allowed me to fully enjoy the ocean.

ワイキキビーチから　少しクルーズした海の真ん中で　シュノーケリング・・・すぐそばで　大きなウミガメや　魚たちが泳いでいて　大感激でした。帰りは　風を切って少し沖までクルージングです。海を思う存分堪能できる　素晴らしいアクティビティーでした。

I participated in this tour without hesitation because it offered a luau show at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is close to the hotel and right in the heart of Waikiki.

First, we were guided to the dining area on the terrace. The staff entertained everyone with songs and dances even before the meal started. At the end, they got everyone involved in a hula experience, which was a lot of fun. The buffet-style meal was all very delicious, and I had to be careful not to overeat.

After the meal, we were taken to the theater. Our seats were in the front row of the second floor, which I thought was a nice perk of this tour. On the first floor, the people enjoying their luxurious meals had not finished yet. I was glad to have my meal in the open-air terrace seating, which had a very relaxed atmosphere. Being on the second floor also allowed me to see the entire stage clearly.

The show began, and the dancers were singing and dancing energetically. The stage setup and production were very eye-catching. I was surprised when a dancer descended from the ceiling.

Both the hula and the songs were very captivating. The rock and roll songs and dances were great too. The Elvis Presley impersonator sounded just like him, and the excitement reached its peak when he walked around the venue, shaking hands and hugging people. After that, when Michael Jackson appeared, my husband and I were very satisfied with the nostalgic songs. He was a bit on the heavier side, but his singing and dancing were very similar.

The final fire dance was the highlight for me. It might have been the best Polynesian dance I've ever seen.

Before I knew it, we reached the finale. It was a very luxurious moment to experience both the hula and rock and roll show. I would love to participate again.

This is a highly recommended show that is worth seeing at least once.

　ホテルからも近くワイキキの中心にあるロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターでルアウショーが観れるということで、迷わずこのツアーに参加しました。
　始めにテラスにある食事会場に案内されました。案内してくれたスタッフが食事の前から、歌や踊り踊りでみんなを楽しませてくれます。最後には、会場のみんなを巻き込んでのフラ体験で盛り上げてくれました。ブッフェ形式の食事は、どれもたいへん美味しく、食べ過ぎてしまわないように気をつけて食べました。
　食事が終わって、シアターに案内されました。座席は、２階の最前列でした。これもこのツアーの特典なのかなと思いました。１階では、豪華な食事をしている人たちの食事がまだ終わっていませんでした。私は、オープンエアのテラス席で開放的な雰囲気で食事ができてよかったと思いました。また、２階席だったので、ステージ全体が見渡せたのでよかったです。
　ショーが始まりました。ダンサーが所狭しと踊ったり歌ったりしていました。舞台装置、演出とても目を引かれました。途中でダンサーが天井からぶらさっがってきたのにはビックリでした。
　フラも歌もとても見どころがありとても引き付けられました。ロックンロールの歌や踊りもよかったです。
　エルビスプレスリーの歌声もそっくりでたいへん盛り上がりました。プレスリーが会場の中を回って握手やハグをして盛り上がりは最高潮でした。その後のマイケルジャクソンの登場で私たち夫婦も懐かしい歌に大満足でした。ちょっと太めのマイケルでしたが、歌や踊りはとても似ていました。
　最後のファイヤーダンスは、私としては一番でした。今まで見たポリネシアンダンスの中でも一番かも。
　あっという間にフィナーレを迎えました。フラとロックンロールショーの両方が見ることができたいへん贅沢なひと時でした。また参加したいツアーでした。
　一度は、見る価値のあるお勧めのショーです。

I don't like being told how much to write or to do so at all. The cruise was fine

I was so happy to feel like I was watching the real thing, as Michael's performance even included detailed recreations of the MC! Overall, the quality was high, and there were funny moments along with great song selections, making it a show that people of all ages can enjoy!

マイケルのパフォーマンスでは、MCまで細かく再現されてたので本物を見ているかのような気持ちになれて嬉しかったです！
全体的にクオリティーが高く、笑える部分が含まれていたり選曲も良かったので幅広い年齢層が楽しめるショーだと感じました！

I was on a cruise with American families who had just gotten engaged. Everyone was excited with Mai Tais, but we opted for pineapple juice to avoid seasickness. The cruise was longer than expected, and there were quite a few waves offshore. In the end, we didn't get sick and were satisfied to see the sunset.

プロポーズを受けたばかりのアメリカ人ファミリーたちと一緒のクルーズでした。みんなマイタイで盛り上がっていて、私達は船酔いしたら困るのでパイナップルジュースにしました。思ったより長めのクルーズで、沖は波が結構あります。結果酔うこともなく、夕陽も見れて満足のクルーズでした。

What a true Hawaiian experience. Not to be missed.

We participated as a family! It was very fun!
Since it’s not a large cruise ship, it sways and you might get splashed in some areas. However, that actually made it more enjoyable (^ ^)♩
There were restrooms on the boat, which was reassuring.
When boarding the boat, you walk along the beach, so I think flip-flops and shorts are a good idea.
There were also people boarding in their swimsuits.

家族で参加しました！とても面白かったです！
大きな客船ではないので、揺れて場所によっては波がかかります。けれど、それが逆に楽しかったです(^ ^)♩
船には御手洗いもあったので、安心でした。
船に乗る際、ビーチを歩きますので、ビーチサンダルに短パンがいいと思います。
水着のまま乗船されている方もいました。

A family trip to Hawaii with my college and high school sons. Among the mostly active optional activities, the only one we included was the cast show. When we were first guided inside, we took a photo with the cast! (We purchased it as a memory after the show.) In the VIP area, delicious fruits and snacks were prepared, and we enjoyed our time there first. After that, we moved to our table seats. Since we could order a welcome drink, I ordered a Mai Tai (cocktail). It was incredibly delicious! The food was also luxurious and very tasty. Our table was right at the edge below the stage, so I was a bit worried, but we could see the show well. The impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley were very skilled, and we were enchanted by their dancing and singing. The kids seemed to have a great time as well. The only downside was that the air conditioning in the venue was quite strong, so the person next to us borrowed a large napkin to wrap around themselves. I recommend bringing a jacket!

大学生・高校生の息子を連れてのハワイ家族旅行。
ほぼアクティブなオプショナルの中で唯一入れたキャストショーでした。
最初に中に案内されるとまずキャストの方と写真をパチリ！（ショー後、思い出として購入しました)そしてVIP専用スペースには美味しい果物やお菓子が用意され、まずそこでのひと時を楽しみました。その後テーブル席へ。ウエルカムドリンクを注文出来たためマイタイ（カクテル)を頼みました。それがすごく美味しくて♡料理も豪華でとても美味しかったです。舞台すぐ下の端のテーブルでしたので、少し心配でしたがショーもよく見えました。マイケルジャクソン・エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんもとてもお上手で踊りや歌にうっとり(^^♪子どもたちも楽しい時間を過ごせたようです。
唯一会場の冷房はかなり効いていますので隣の方は大判のナフキンを借りて羽織っておられました。上着を1枚用意されることをお勧めいたします！

The crew was awesome! The service was great and the snorkeling was fantastic. We really enjoyed the adventure and would definitely come back!

The staff was friendly, and with the all-you-can-drink option and great location, it was the perfect activity for the first day. We were able to take photos at the beginning, and by the time we returned to the beach to watch the sunset, the photos were developed and available for purchase for $20. I would love to participate again if I go to Hawaii.

スタッフの感じも良く、飲み放題だし、立地も良くて、初日にはもってこいのアクティビティでした。
はじめに写真撮影をして頂けて、夕陽を見てビーチに戻る頃には現像されていて２０ドルで購入ができました。
またハワイに行くことがればまた参加したいです。

Great great tour....professional and fun crew. Amazing swim with turtles and a sail on the sailboat. I would do it again any time!!

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this is my first time sailing on a yacht. I thoroughly enjoyed the hour and a half cruise.

Once we got offshore, we turned off the engine and raised the sails, sailing solely with the power of the wind. It was a wonderful experience to glide smoothly over the water without the sound of the engine. It was a very luxurious moment.

Please note that when boarding, you get on and off from the sandy beach, and your lower body will get quite wet from the waves. Make sure to wear something that you don't mind getting wet. Also, don't forget to apply sunscreen!

これまで何度もハワイに来ていますが、ヨットに乗るのは今回が初めて。1時間半のクルーズを存分に楽しめました。
沖合に出るとエンジンを切ってマストを貼り、風の力だけで走ります。エンジン音がなく、ゆったりと滑らかに海上を走っていく感じを味わえます。とても贅沢なひと時でした。

なお、乗船時は砂浜から乗り降りしますが、波を受けて下半身はかなりずぶ濡れになります。濡れても良い格好で乗船しましょう。あと日焼け止め対策も忘れずに！

I participated in a cruise to see the fireworks from the sea on Friday!

I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early and watched the sunset, but despite arriving early, there wasn't any guidance provided. However, when the time came, many people started to arrive and board the boat, so I asked someone in line and found out that it was indeed our tour. I don't think you'll be left behind, but since there isn't any guidance from them, it's better to be cautious and ask.

The activity itself was really fun! The foreigners who boarded with us were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, so the atmosphere was very lively! It was interesting to experience that American energy.

The fireworks were, of course, beautiful, but after they finished, the boat took us out to sea, and we were free to sit at the front of the boat, which made it feel close to the ocean and was very pleasant! There was also unlimited alcohol, so I could enjoy the sea and the night view while drinking. There were non-alcoholic juices available as well.

The boat had a restroom, so I don't think you'll have to worry about that. (I didn't use it, though...)

金曜日の海からの花火を見るクルージングに参加しました！

集合場所に集合時間の３０分前に行って夕日が沈むのを見ていましたが、早めに行ったのにも関わらず案内等は特になかったです。
ただ時間になるとぞろぞろとたくさんの人が来て船にも海に着いたので、並んでる人に聞いて私たちのツアーだと言うことがわかりました。
置いてかれることはないと思いますが、聞かないと特に向こうからの案内はないので気をつけたほうがいいかと思います。

アクティビティ自体はすごく楽しかったです！
一緒に乗り合わせた外国人が結婚50周年のお祝いで親戚一同で参加していたためテンションがとても高かったです！
アメリカンなテンションを体験できて面白かったです。

花火はもちろん綺麗でしたが、花火が終わった後も沖まで船を出してくれて、船の先端に座ったりするのも自由にできたので海が近くに感じて気持ちよかったです！
お酒も飲み放題なのでお酒を飲みながら海と夜景を見ることができました。
ノンアルコールのジュースもありました。

船にはトイレがついているのでトイレの心配もないと思います。（私は使いませんでしたが…）
