All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

This was a really fun sail. We ordered pizza and brought it on board with drinks, though since it was an afternoon sail we had most of our lunch before departing. Bench seating with no tables, so we had to improvise. Finger foods that are easy to eat and not very messy are ideal to bring on, as are cans and bottles for drinks.

It's really cool and windy out on the water, so it can get rough if the boat goes near Diamond Head where the water isn't protected from the waves. That said, if you're willing to get wet it's a lot of fun sitting on the netting and getting splashed!

At first, I was looking for a Polynesian show, so I felt a bit of a disconnect with shows like those featuring Presley, but the timing and location were very good, so our family of four participated. The show had a well-thought-out structure that didn't feel out of place, and the content was engaging from one act to the next, never boring. What stood out the most was the performers' genuine desire to entertain the audience. The food was also delicious. During the meal, the performers kept us entertained with their singing and dancing, which was great. We all had a wonderful time together as a family on this trip.

初めはポリネシアンショーで探してましたので、プレスリー等のショーも有り少し違和感が有りましたが、時間、立地等はとても良いので家族4名で参加しました。ショーは違和感がなく良く考えられた構成、ショーは次から次と全く飽きない内容でした。一番は出演者の皆さんがお客さんを楽しませる気持ちが伝わってきました。食事も美味しかったです。食事中も出演者の方々の飽きさせない歌、踊りも有り良いです。今回の旅行での楽しい時間が家族全員で過ごせました。

I had a great time enjoying plenty of singing and dancing. Each dancer was dedicated, and it was moving. It exceeded my expectations, and I want to go again!

歌とダンスたっぷり楽しめて大満足でした。
ダンサー、一人一人が一生懸命で感動しました。
期待していた以上で、また行きたいと思います!

We booked a Hawaiian show at the request of my elderly father, who wanted to see it during our three-generation family trip, thinking that the young grandchildren would enjoy it as well. We chose the buffet course, so the food was just okay, and the timing felt a bit rushed, but we enjoyed interacting with the dancers.

The show that followed, after moving to the audience seating, was fantastic. From the second floor, we had a great view of the stage, and the children, who had been dozing off before it started, were completely captivated once the show began. They enjoyed the high-level dancing and singing throughout. We were very satisfied with the well-structured performance.

三世代家族旅行で、ハワイアンショーが観たいと言う高齢の父の希望で、これなら若い孫たちもそこそこ楽しめるかなと予約しました。
バイキングのコースにしたので、食事はこんなものかなという程度で、時間も慌ただしかったですが、ダンサーさん達とのやり取りを楽しめました。
その後の客席に移動してのショーは最高でした。
２階席からはステージがとても良く見え、始まるまでウトウトしていた子ども達も、ショーが始まってからはステージに釘付けで、レベルの高いダンスに歌にと終始楽しめました。
とても良く構成されたパフォーマンスに大満足でした。

Great crew, comfy boat, tasty drinks. Can definitely recommend this evening cruise!

We participated as a family.
The show had various types, including performances for men only, women only, modern styles, and introductions to Hawaiian royalty, so we were never bored. It was a bit amusing to see the same dancers come out multiple times in different costumes. According to a hula expert in our group, the level of hula was also very high.
The food was delicious, but when we were leisurely eating, they started clearing things away around 7 PM. (I wanted a second helping of watermelon...)
There were times when the timing of the table attendant didn't match up with our drink orders, but their service was very pleasant.
However, I felt the price was a bit high...?

家族で参加しました。
ショーは男性のみ、女性のみ、現代的なもの、ハワイの王族の紹介など何種類もあり、飽きることはありませんでした。同じダンサーが衣装を変えて何度も出てくるのはちょっと笑ってしまいました。同行のフラ経験者によると、フラのレベルも非常に高かったようです。
食事はおいしかったのですが、のんびり食べていると7時を過ぎた頃に片づけられてしまいました。（スイカのおかわりしたかった・・・）
テーブル担当のおじさんの来るタイミングがドリンク注文と合わなかったこともあったけど、対応はとても感じよかったです。
ただ、お値段はちょっと高かったかな・・・？

Thanks to the attentive lessons and the friendly staff, I was able to catch several waves. The reception also has Japanese staff, which is reassuring. I especially recommend it for women and children! If you're unsure, it's definitely an activity worth trying!

丁寧なレッスンとノリの良いスタッフのお陰もあって、何本も波に乗れました
受付は日本人スタッフもいて安心。
女性や子供には特におすすめ！
迷うならやった方が良いアクティビティですよ〜

We were a group of Aussies celebrating my 50th in Hawaii. Thought this would be fun to do and we weren't wrong - everyone had a ball - even those who weren't expecting to. The weather was perfect - not needing jackets at all and the sunset was beautiful. We took heaps of photos with the sunset in the background and then Diamond Head as the boat turned around. The Open Bar was a great hit with the Mai Tai's flowing very nicely. The crew were friendly and fun. We had one member of our group worried about being sea sick but she said she felt nothing and really enjoyed the sail. Highly recommend doing this - all ages.

It's a sunset sailing, but the fireworks viewing on Friday is after sunset, so you won't be able to see the sunset. I don't think people who don't understand English and can't drink alcohol will enjoy it. The fireworks were beautiful.

サンセットセーリングだけど、【金曜日】花火鑑賞付きは日の入り後なのでサンセットは見られません。
英語がわからずお酒が飲めない人は楽しめないと思います。
花火は綺麗でした。

It was supposed to be a Diamond Seat, but I was directed to a regular seat without any reservation. It was very disappointing that the service was not thorough, especially considering the $50 difference.

ダイアモンドシートだったが、席の確保がされておらず、普通の席に誘導された。50ドルもの差をつけながら、サービスが徹底されていないのが、とても残念だった。

Had a fun time, will go again next visit for sure!

We boarded the ship that departed at 11:00 AM (check-in was at 10:30 AM).
We were the only Japanese people on board, but we had a great time.
However, on the catamarans we've been on before, we were allowed to sit on the netting at the front, but this time it wasn't permitted.
Honestly, I was looking forward to sitting there again, so I was a bit disappointed.
As for taking photos before boarding, I'm not sure if it's necessary...? (They are sold for $10 at disembarkation for those who want them.)

11時出航のに乗船しました。(チェックインは10時30分)　
日本人は私たちだけでしたが、楽しい時間でした。
ただ、今まで乗ってきたカタマランは先端の網の部分に座っても良かったのですが今回はダメ。
正直私はそこに座るのが楽しくて、また申し込んだので少々残念でした。
乗船前の写真撮影は要らないかな…？(希望者に下船時10ドルで販売)

This time, since we were in Hawaii, we decided to enjoy this fun show. I made a reservation through Veltra, which offered a plan with some nice perks. At first, I was a bit worried about using Veltra, but on the day of the reservation, I headed to the venue and had no trouble checking in at all. I've already used Veltra for various activities and shows about five times during my two trips to Honolulu, and there have been no issues!

For this Rock-a-Hula show, I enjoyed the VIP dinner that came with the special reservation. We started with the meal, and I had the impression that the food at these types of shows is usually not very good, but I thought the food here was quite decent.

Next up was the start of the show. First, there was an Elvis Presley impersonator, followed by a female singer, and then a Michael Jackson impersonator. All of them had great singing abilities, and I really enjoyed watching Michael's dance. The fire dance was also impressive and enjoyable.

Since the dinner package can be a bit pricey, I would recommend just attending the show without the meal.

今回せっかくのハワイと言う事も有りこちらの楽しそうなショーを観覧しました。
ベルトラから予約をすれば嬉しい特典があるプランで予約をしました。
最初はベルトラ⁉︎大丈夫なのかと思いながら予約当日予約会場へ向かいましたが何のトラブルもなく受け付け出来ました。
既にホノルル2回の旅行の内5回程ベルトラ利用で色々なアクティビティ、ショーを予約しましたがもう無問題です！
今回のロックアフラショーですが、嬉しい特典予約あるVIPディナー付きで観覧しました。
最初にお食事を頂きますが、この手のショーのお食事は大した物が出ない印象が強く有りましたがこちらのお食事はまぁまぁ良かったと思います。
お食事の次はいよいよショーの始まりです。
最初にエルビスプレスリーのそっくりサン次に女性シンガーサン続いてマイケルジャクソンのそっくりサン、どの方も歌唱力が有りマイケルのダンスも楽しく拝見できました。
ファイヤーダンスも迫力が有りよかったですよ。
お食事付きだと少し料金がかさみますのでショーのみの鑑賞をオススメしたいですね。

Crew was good. Music was good. Would have liked more drink choices since it's called a booze cruise

We participated on the first night of our honeymoon. My husband really enjoyed it and kept saying it was the best throughout the trip. The show was packed with content, including hula dancing tied to Hawaiian history and impersonator performances.

I highly recommend the VIP seats!!! The dancers come down from the stage to engage with the audience. They shake hands, high-five, and throw around a big beach ball to get everyone excited. I was thrilled when an Elvis impersonator put a lei around my neck! I returned to the hotel still buzzing from the experience.

The food was delicious too. We had about an hour and a half for dinner, so we were able to savor every bite. The dessert was especially tasty.

After the show, we took pictures together and got autographs. The photo with the Michael Jackson impersonator is a treasure from our honeymoon.

It was such a fun experience that I want to recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii!

新婚旅行、1日目の夜に参加させていただきました。夫は本当に楽しかったようで、旅行中何度も何度も、最高だったと繰り返し言っていました。
ハワイの歴史と絡めたフラダンスや、そっくりさんのショーなど内容盛りだくさんでした。
席はVIP席がおすすめです！！！観客を楽しませようと、ダンサーの方がステージからフロアに降りて来てくれます。握手をしたり、ハイタッチをしたり、大きなビーチボールを投げたりと盛り上げてくれます。私はプレスリーのそっくりさんから、レイをかけてもらい、テンションが上がりました！首にかけたまま、余韻に浸りながらホテルに帰りました。
料理もおいしかったです。食事の時間が1時間半くらいあったので、ゆっくりと味わって頂きました。デザートが特においしかったです。
ショー終了後は、いっしょに写真を撮ってもらったり、サインを書いてもらったりしました。マイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんと撮ってもらった写真は新婚旅行の宝物です。
本当に楽しかったので、これからハワイ旅行へ行かれる方へおすすめしようと思います！

I participated at the request of my 8-year-old daughter, and the location was very convenient as it was at the Royal Hawaiian Beach. Since I have a 3-year-old daughter as well, I was able to watch her play during the lesson. The instructor, Matt, spoke a little Japanese, and my daughter quickly understood and was able to stand up in the water in just about five minutes, which was surprising!

A photographer accompanied us and took pictures, so I ended up wanting to buy them. I was told that the photos alone would be $50, and if I wanted the video, it would be $80. I felt that was a bit expensive, but once I saw the video, I wanted it and ended up purchasing it...

My daughter had a great time!!

8歳の娘のリクエストで参加しましたが、場所もロイヤルハワイアンのビーチなのでとても便利でした。
下に3歳の娘がいるので、レッスン中は見ながら遊んでいました。
マット先生は日本語も少し話せて、娘も直ぐに理解して海に出てものの5分くらいで立ちビックリしました！

カメラマンも同行して、撮ってくれるので欲しくなり買いましたが写真だけなら50ドルでムービーもなら80ドルと言われ少し高いと感じましたが、ムービー見ちゃうと欲しくなり買いました…

娘はかなり楽しんでました！！

Great food and entertainment, staff was very friendly and service was excellent

I have participated with my mother, who is over 80 years old, for three consecutive years. I am satisfied with the staff's brightness, the thrill of the boat, and the delicious cocktails.

80歳を過ぎた母と３年連続で参加させていただいたています。
スタッフの明るさと船のスリルとおいしいカクテル　満足です。

I was glad that I could make a reservation on this site, as other sites required a minimum of 12 people. The seats were in the second row, and I had a great view. There were three food options to choose from, including loco moco and fish and chips, and there were cocktails available as drinks. I was more than satisfied and full. I plan to make a reservation again next time.

他のサイトは12名以上でないと予約できませんでしたが、こちらのサイトで受け付けていただいてよかったです
席も2列目で、とても良く観覧できました
フードは3品から選べて、ロコモコやフィッシュ&チップスなどがあり、ドリンクはカクテルもあり、私は充分にお腹いっぱいになりました
また次回も予約しようと思います

We were seated for the dinner buffet in the order we checked in. Overall, the food was delicious, and during the meal, several people were invited to participate in a basic hula lesson, and my husband was called up with a "Come on!" and seemed to have a great time.

After eating the dinner buffet outside, everyone moved to the theater in their own time, but the seating inside the theater was first-come, first-served. If we had taken a little longer to enjoy dessert, there would have only been seats at the edges. Everyone was saying, "Is it really first-come, first-served?" so I think it would be good to place a notice in Japanese on the dinner buffet table regarding this.

Photography was not allowed during the show, but taking pictures without flash was okay. We enjoyed our last night in Hawaii with impersonators of Elvis and Michael, as well as the hula show.

チェックインした順からディナービュッフェの座席を座っていく感じでした。お料理は全体的に美味しかったですし、食事中にフラの基本レッスンに数名呼ばれて、うちの主人もカモン！と言われ前へ出て楽しそうにしていました。
ディナービュッフェを外で食べた後、食べ終わった人から各自で劇場の方へ移動するのですが、その劇場内の座席は早い者順という感じでした。もうちょっとゆっくりデザートを食べてたら、端の方しか座席がなかったです。「えー 早い者勝ちなの？」と皆んなが言ってたので、日本語でその旨案内の紙を、ディナービュッフェのテーブルに置いた方が良いと思います。
ショーはビデオ撮影はNGでしたが、フラッシュなしの写真撮影はOKでした。プレスリーとマイケルのそっくりさん、フラショーなど、ハワイ最後の夜を楽しませてもらいました。

I requested a private lesson for my 7-year-old child's first surfing experience. The instructor didn't seem unmotivated, but I got the impression that they were just meeting the minimum requirements. My child seemed to have fun, though.

7歳のこどもの初サーフィンで、プライベートレッスンをお願いしました。インストラクターは、やる気がないとは言いませんが、最低限のノルマをこなしているという印象でした。こどもは楽しかったようです。

I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.

It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.

これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。

日本人だらけのワイキキにしては珍しく、我家以外に日本人の参加者やスタッフがおらず、その雰囲気がとても新鮮でした。

My family and I had a great time with star of Honolulu!! Tyler was great in serving us and he was always making sure we were all fine!!!
For me , this activity is a must to do every time we come to Oahu!!!

I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.

Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.

For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.

The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.

When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).

At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.

I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!

The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.

There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.

こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)

ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました！(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。

途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね！と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)

最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。

そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑

飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。

小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。

This was the most beautiful place ever. The kids really enjoyed the snorkelling here, lots of beautiful fish to see. The online booking process was simple and price was very affordable. Our driver was friendly and explained how to use the equipment. Pickup and drop off was on time. Highly recommend! Will be back to do this again!

I used this service on the last night of my trip to Hawaii. I was able to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery on a luxurious cruiser, creating the best memories. While most other tours had a majority of Japanese participants, this tour had many international guests. For $30, you can receive the photo data. I would love to use this service again!

ハワイ旅行最後の夜に利用しました。
高級感溢れるクルーザーで美味しい料理と、素敵な景色を見ることができ、最高の思い出になりました。
他のツアーは日本人の方が大半ですが、こちらのツアーは海外の方がたくさん来ていました。
30ドルで写真のデータを送ってもらえます。
また利用したいです！

Starting with a welcome drink and enjoying a lot of stick appetizers gives a slightly elegant feeling. We were guided to our seats at the front, and the dinner began slowly. The taste was just okay. The show featuring Elvis Presley’s history along with his performance and singing was spectacular. The service of coming down to the audience and draping many leis on female guests was really great. Michael Jackson's performance was similarly high quality, and the time flew by; I wished it could have lasted longer. The third female singer, was she a local? She sang well, but I didn’t know who she was. I think the third singer could target a wide range of audiences from teenagers to those in their 30s, appealing to multi-generational families. Also, the fire dance was of high quality. I want to go again.

ウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらスティックオードブルを沢山食べる事からして、少し優雅な気分です。
フロントの座席に案内されてゆっくりとディナーの始まりです。味はまあまあと言う感じでした。
エルビスプレスリーのヒストリーと共に登場と歌のショーは圧巻です。客席に降りて来て沢山のレイを女性客に掛けながらのサービスは凄く良かったです。
マイケルジャクソンも同様にクオリティーが高くあっという間の時間で、もっと長く観ていたかったです。
3人目の女性シンガーは地元の方？でしょうか
歌は上手かったですが誰方かわかりませんでした。3人目は、10代20代30代の客層をターゲットにした歌手にしたが幅広く三世代家族を取り込めると思います。
あとファイヤーダンスもクオリティー高かったです。
また行きたいです。

I participated on New Year's Day with hopes that 2018 would be a wonderful year.

The departure point for the catamaran was a bit hard to find, but I asked someone at a nearby shop and managed to locate it.

When boarding the cruise, you will have to step into the water from the sandy beach, so it's recommended to wear flip-flops or go barefoot.

There were many participants from countries other than Japan, allowing us to enjoy an international atmosphere.

The sight of the large sun slowly setting over the coastline is breathtaking. This tour allows you to feel the grandeur of Hawaii's nature. The boat returns just after the sun has completely set, so you can thoroughly enjoy the view of the sunset.

The boat has a restroom, but be careful not to drink too much water (laughs).

2018年が素晴らしい１年になるよう願いを込めて、元旦に参加しました。

カタマラン出港場所が少し分かりにくく、
近くのお店の人に聞いて見つけました。

クルーズに乗り込む時は、砂浜から船に乗るため、水に足が浸かる形となります。乗る時はビーチサンダルか裸足がオススメです。

日本人以外の参加者の方も多く、インターナショナルな雰囲気が味わえます。

海岸線に大きな太陽がゆっくりと沈んでいく様子は圧巻です。
ハワイの自然の雄大さを感じられるツアーです。
夕日が完全に沈み終わった頃に船が帰着するので、日が沈んでいく様子をじっくりと楽しむことができました。

船にトイレは付いていますが、水分の取りすぎには要注意かも（笑）。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and the sailing trip to the distant ocean was wonderful. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from out at sea was great! Occasionally, we got splashed by big waves and felt the wind, which got my son really excited!

８歳の息子と二人で参加しましたが、遠い沖までのセーリングで、離れた海の上からのワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの眺めが良かったです！
時折、大きな波を被ったり、風を感じて、息子も大興奮でした！

Everything was perfect from check in to the end of the trip. Guides are awesome, really helpful and made us feel like rock stars!
