All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I attended with my colleagues on August 15. We had diamond seats, but we arrived a bit late, so we had to wait in line for a little while, but we really enjoyed the show. The food had limited options and wasn't very tasty, but the show was truly great. The male dancers were quite impressive, and each of them did something secretly funny, which kept us laughing the whole time. The female dancers were also very lovely, and it seemed like the men from our company were quite captivated (laughs). I would like to go again, but since the food was lackluster, next time I want to just watch the show.

8月15日に会社の仲間と参加しました。ダイヤモンドシートですが少し遅れたのでこれまた少し並びましたがショーは楽しめました。
食事は種類も少なく、あまり美味しくなかったですが、ショーが本当に良かったです。男性のダンサーはかなり迫力あるし、各々がこっそり面白い事をしてくれるし終始笑っていられました。女性のダンサーもとても素敵で会社の男性陣はかなり魅了されてたようでした（笑）
また行きたいですが、食事がイマイチなので次はショーだけを見たりしたいです。

I had to wait quite a long time to exchange my tickets. However, there was a slight sense of superiority as only those with Diamond Seats were allowed to enter at the last moment.

Benefits of the Diamond Seats:
The central front row is indeed central, but the show also faces the sides, so I didn't feel much of an advantage. They say dinner is prioritized, but those without Diamond Seats were the first to be ushered in for meals, and the staff said nothing about it. The crowd was mostly from Southeast Asia. The food was also mediocre.

For just the show, the price of the Diamond Seats seems a bit excessive.

チケット交換にかなりの時間並ばされました。しかしギリギリでダイヤモンドシートだけが優先に入場出来るタイミングで少しの優越感。
ダイヤモンドシートのメリット
中央前列、確かに中央だけどショーはサイドにも向いてやるのでメリットを感じない
ディナーも優先と言ってるがダイヤモンドシート以外が最初に食事に流れこむがスタッフは何も言わず。流れこむのは東南アジア
食事もイマイチ
ショーだけにダイヤモンドシートの料金は勿体無いかな

I had previously taken the catamaran during the day and found it very pleasant, so this time I chose this plan to enjoy the sunset, the catamaran, and some drinks! The catamaran was indeed enjoyable! The weather was great, and the sunset was amazing! There were not only beers but also Mai Tais and sparkling wine. They were delicious!

Last time I went, it was quite windy and cold, so I brought a long-sleeved hoodie, which was just right. However, it seemed tough for those who are prone to seasickness... If you don’t get seasick, I recommend the catamaran over the luxurious sunset cruise!

お昼のカタマランは以前乗ったことがあり、とても気持ち良かったので、今回は是非サンセットとカタマランとお酒を楽しめるこのプランにしました！
やっぱりカタマランは気持ち良かった！天気がよくて、サンセットも最高でした！アルコールも、ビールだけじゃなくてマイタイやスパークリングワインもありました。美味しかったです！
前回乗ったとき、風がかなりあり寒かったので、長袖のパーカーを持参したところ、ちょうどいい具合でした。
ただ、船酔いしやすい人はつらそうでした…。船酔いしないならば、豪華サンセットクルーズよりもカタマランがおすすめです！

This was amazing, I would recommend it to everyone who wants to snorkel with turtles. Not to mention the crew was amazing and very funny. Then we sailed to try to see dolphins and other marine life.

We were the only Japanese passengers among many! It was refreshing to not see any other Japanese people on the optional tour in Hawaii! The yacht was a catamaran, so there was no side-to-side rocking, making it extremely stable! The wind was refreshing as we sped along! We enjoyed the beautiful blue waters to our heart's content while drinking beer. They even stopped the yacht along the way so we could all experience jumping in. I want to ride again the next time I come back!

数々の乗客で日本人は自分達2人だけでしたね❗
ハワイのオプショナルツアーで逆に日本人が居ないのが新鮮でしたね❗
ヨットはカタマランなので横揺れがないのであんていせい抜群❗
風を受けて突っ走る、風が心地よい❗
ビールを飲みながら、青いを思う存分楽しめました｡
途中でヨットを停めてくれて、皆で飛び込みも体験させてくれる。
次回また来た時にもまた乗りたい❗

On the third day of our five-day stay in Hawaii, we attended the Rock-a-Hula show. There is a dedicated venue for the Rock-a-Hula show inside the Royal Hawaiian Center in the heart of Waikiki, making it easily accessible from any hotel in the downtown area. The same building also has many popular shops, so we enjoyed shopping before and after the show. I think it's a good idea to incorporate shopping into your plans.

Since we opted for the dinner and show package, we were welcomed with a drink and guided to a special table right in front of the stage before the show started. Although there were many empty seats, it was a bit disappointing that we were seated right next to other reserved guests. I wish they had used the seating more spaciously. The table already had lobster dishes set up, so we could start eating as soon as we sat down. The taste of the food was average. It felt luxurious with steak and lobster, but the flavor was just ordinary. The highlight was the show. Just as we finished our meal, the show began. The dedicated singers and dancers performed hula dances, songs related to Hawaii, Michael Jackson songs, and Elvis Presley songs right in front of us. True to its name, the live performance was powerful. We watched the show for about an hour, and it concluded with a finale.

ハワイ滞在5日間のうちのちょうど真ん中の３日目に、ロック・ア・フラ・ショーに参加しました。ワイキキ中心街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター内にロック・ア・フラ・ショーの専用の施設があるので、中心街のホテルかならどのホテルからでもすぐに行けます。同じ建物には、人気のショップがたくさんあるので、ショーの前後に買い物も楽しめました。買い物の予定も組み込んでおいてもいいと思います。
私たちはディナーアンドショーにしたので、ショーが始まるまでに、ウェルカムドリンクがあり、ステージ真ん前の特設テーブルに誘導されました。たくさん席が空いていたのに、他の予約客とすぐ隣の席にされてしまったのが少し残念でした。もっとゆったりと席を使ってくれたらと思います。テーブルにはすでにロブスター料理が置いてあり、着席してすぐに食べることができました。料理の味は普通でした。ステーキやロブスターで豪華な感じですが、味は普通です。よかったのは、ショーです。料理を食べ終わった頃ショーが始まります。フラダンス、ハワイにまつわる歌、マイケルジャクソンの歌、エルビスプレスリーの歌などを、専属の歌手とダンサーが目の前で披露してくれます。ロックというだけあって、生演奏での演奏も迫力があります。1時間ほどショーを見て、フィナーレとなりました。

First, we had a meal at the buffet, which included a simple hula dance show. Guests can join in and have fun dancing together. The food was delicious, especially the carved roast beef and the sherbet for dessert. There was also a treasure hunt game for small children. The show featured live music, and the female singer's voice was particularly good. I highly recommend it.

最初にバフェで食事をしますが、簡単なフラダンスショーがあります。お客さんも一緒に踊ったりして盛りあげてもらえます。食事も美味しかった。ローストビーフの切り分けや、デザートのシャーベットがGood.小さな子供には宝探しゲームもあった。ショーは生演奏で特に女性歌手の歌声がよかった。おすすめです。

The traditional hula dance in Hawaii was filled with well-known dance songs, and I couldn't stop smiling from start to finish.

The cast was really close, and their spirit of service was outstanding! I highly recommend the dinner show! The food included lobster, meat, salmon, and Hawaiian coffee for dessert, making it very filling.

I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii! I think families, couples, and friends can all enjoy it!

ハワイ伝統のフラダンスから誰もが知っているダンスソングナンバーがいっぱいで最初から最後まで笑顔が止まりませんでした

キャストさんとの距離が本当に近くてサービス精神も満点！ディナーショーおすすめです！
お料理もロブスター、お肉、サーモン、食後にはハワイアンコーヒーも付いていてボリューム満点でした

またハワイに来た際は是非参加したいです！
家族、カップル、友達幅広く楽しめると思います♪

We had a blast. Staff and skipper were sensational. Good drinks and a bloody good time!

The catamaran was amazing. One of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The crew were very friendly and seeing the turtles was amazing. Definitely a must do if we ever come back to Hawaii I will do it again

My first Mai Tai drink was delicious!
I was asked whether I wanted a non-alcoholic or alcoholic drink for a toast.
Then, we took turns at the buffet, and after finishing our meal, we enjoyed a hula show in a separate room!
The impersonation show was also fun together.
However, for those who want to see authentic hula, it might be a bit lacking (since the hula time is short).

最初のマイタイドリンクが美味しかった♪
ノンアルコールかアルコールかを聞かれ乾杯ドリンク。
そして順番でバイキングをとり、食べ終わったら別室にてフラショー！
ものまねショーも一緒になって楽しかった(^^)
ただ本格的フラを見たい！！という方には物足りないかも。（フラの時間が短いので。）

I participated for the first time on a Friday night when the Hilton had fireworks. I thought the fireworks would be far away, but they were quite close and very beautiful! After that, I enjoyed the stunning night sky filled with stars. There wasn't anything particularly eventful, but the relaxed hour and a half spent sipping Mai Tais and wine was fantastic. Next time, I definitely want to go sailing during the day!

初めて参加しました。ヒルトンの花火がある金曜の夜に。花火は遠くからかなー、と思っていたのですが、かなり近くでとってもきれい！その後夜空の美しい星空も楽しめました。特にイベントらしいものはありませんでしたが、マイタイやワインを飲みながらゆったり流れる約一時間半の時間は最高でした。今度は昼のセーリングにぜひ行きたいです！

I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!

午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる２時間半のツアーは最高でした！時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます！他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます！

Total package from online reservation, round-trip Transportation, LARGE SHIP, meal, entertainment & position of ship for Friday Night Fireworks over Waikiki, panoramic views of Waikiki, & stunning sunset, easily 5 STARS. Must Do Activity.

We used the service with three family members. There were only two other Japanese groups, and most of the participants were from Europe and America. Therefore, the staff provided all instructions in English, and they spoke very quickly. As someone who is not good at English at all, I could hardly understand anything (laughs). The staff didn't pay extra attention just because I was Japanese, so a certain level of English proficiency is essential. In fact, it might be better to try to communicate in broken English, as it could make other participants feel more comfortable.

If you can get past that, the atmosphere of everyone having fun together is really enjoyable, and the sunset is incredibly beautiful. I hope this helps!

家族3人で利用させてもらいました。他に日本人グループは2組だけで、ほとんどが欧米人の参加者。なのでスタッフもオール英語の案内。しかも早口のマシンガントーク。英語が全くダメな私はほぼ聞き取れませんでした（笑）スタッフも日本人だからということで気にかけてくれるわけではありませんので、ある程度の英語力は必須です。それどころか、他の参加者に気を使わせてしまうので、下手な英語でもコミュニケーションをとるようにした方がいいと思います。
そこをクリアすれば、みんなでワイワイやる雰囲気はとても楽しい（楽しそう）ですし、夕日も最高に綺麗です。参考になれば。

The lower rank of the reserved menu consists of a self-service buffet meal under a tent outside the venue before the performance. The high-level group has their meal seated at tables below the stage. We entered the venue after eating in the tent, but we were in the second-floor seats. The concert starts after the meal.

However, during the meal and on stage, the Hawaiian dancers worked hard to entertain us. The impersonators were only Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, so I wished I could have seen Lady Gaga. My high school freshman daughter, who was with me, seemed to feel like it was all American oldies and yawned.

予約のメニューのランク下は、開演前に会場外のテントの下でセルフビュッフェ式の食事となります。ハイレベルなグループは舞台下でテーブルに座ったままの食事です。我々はテントで食べた後に会場内に入りましたが、二階席。食事の後にコンサートが始まります。
でも食事中も舞台でも、ハワイアンダンサーが一生懸命に盛り上げてくれました。そっくりさんはプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンだけだったので、レディーガガを観たかったなあ。一緒にいた高1の娘はアメリカの懐メロばかりに感じてあくびをしておりました。

Comfortable, scenic, and fun. The views were great and the crew were very attentive. They went above and beyond for a couple passengers with sea sickness.
Don't worry if you're the last to board and can't find a seat, once you take off everyone is outside and moving around. No wait at the bar or food table. Friendly crew, and they're more than happy to share their knowledge of the islands.
A light jacket or long sleeve shirt might be needed at sunset.
And don't arrive too early since there is a little wait before boarding.
Awesome time!

I was able to experience a refreshing atmosphere, a cool breeze, and stylish music that felt extraordinary! The sunset was beautiful and truly moving!

雰囲気、爽やかな風、おしゃれな音楽非日常を味わうことができました！サンセットもキレイで感動だったー！

The show is held on the rooftop, so it was cool, and at first, the sunset was dazzling, making sunglasses a must. I didn't want to wait in line, so I went early and got a seat in the front row on the side. It was a great view, and it was the best seat for taking photos. If you're going to watch, it's better to be up front. The audience was mixed with people from various countries, which was nice in a way. There seemed to be many people from the United States, but since there were attendees from different countries, if you can strike up a conversation, you might enjoy yourself before the show starts.

The food was decent, within acceptable limits, but if you don't have a good seat, you might not finish eating before the show begins. The kids were thrilled and very excited. In addition to the hula, there was also a fire show at the end, so I don't think you'll get bored. I think it's something you should see at least once.

ショーは屋上で行われるため、まあ、涼しいのと、最初は夕日が眩しかったので、サングラス必須でした。
並ぶのが嫌だったので、早めにいったところ、席はサイドの最前列。非常によく見れるし、撮影にも最高の席でした。どうせ観るなら前方がいいですよね。観客席は各国の人と相席なので、それはある意味良かったです。アメリカ本国の人が多かったようですが、各国から集まっていたので、会話ができれば、ショーの始まる前は楽しめるかと思います。
食事はまあまあですが、許容範囲で、いい席でないと、ショーの始まる前に食べ終わらないかもしれません。子供も喜んで大興奮でした。フラだけでなく、ファイヤーショーも最後にあり、飽きることはないかと思います。これも一度は観たほうがいいと思います。

Among the approximately 50 participants, we were the only Japanese family of four. We could hardly understand the staff's English announcements, but once we departed, each staff member spoke to us in broken Japanese.

We were swept up in the excitement of the international guests, and it was incredibly fun. Of course, the sunset was beautiful, and the view of Diamond Head from the sea was fantastic.

50人ほどの参加者の中で日本人は、我々の家族4人だけで、スタッフの英語のアナウンスは、ほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、出発してからは、スタッフそれぞれが、片言の日本語で話掛けてくれました。
海外の方々の盛り上がりに引っ張られ、最高に楽しかった。もちろん日の入りも美しく、海からのダイヤモンドヘッドの景色も最高でした。

I am sensitive to boats, so I took motion sickness medication before boarding, but there was no rocking. The staff took photos and made the experience enjoyable, and it went by in a flash. I really enjoyed the cruise.

船に弱いので、酔い止めの薬を飲んで乗船しましたが、
揺れも無く、スタッフの方々が写真を撮ってくれたり、
盛り上げてくれて楽しくあっという間だったです。
クルーズを満喫させて貰いました。

Since I was staying at the Sheraton Waikiki, the check-in location was close and easy to find. The reception and the crew on the boat did not understand Japanese at all, but if you know some simple English and words, you'll manage just fine.

I snorkeled freely where there were about 4 to 5 sea turtles. The turtles would come up to the surface to breathe multiple times, so I was able to take pictures up close, which made me very happy. The crew members occasionally checked in with a friendly "Are you okay?" in broken English, which was nice.

The sailing was headed towards Diamond Head, and the waves were really rough, making it feel like an attraction. However, since the waves splashed onto the boat and soaked us completely, I recommend putting important items in waterproof bags.

I went with my family of five adults, and even my mother, who didn't snorkel, was very satisfied with the sailing experience. Additionally, they provided a drink menu in Japanese, so I was able to enjoy my favorite drinks while taking in the beautiful ocean, which made me very happy!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊していたため、受付場所も近く分かりやすかったです。受付や船の船員さんは日本語が全く通じませんが、簡単な英語と単語が分かれば何とかなります。
シュノーケルは海亀が4〜5匹いるところで自由にシュノーケルしました。海亀は何度も息つぎしに海面に上がってくるので近くで写真を撮ったりもでき、大満足でした◡̈⃝
乗務員のお兄さんたちも時折、片言ですが『だいじょぶ？』と声をかけてくれて、フレンドリーでした。

セーリングはダイヤモンドヘッド方面に向かい波がすごく荒かったので、アトラクション感覚で楽しめました。ただ、波が船の上に上がってきて、全身濡れるので、大事なものは防水の袋などにいれて持って行った方がいいと思います。

成人してる家族５人で行きましたが、シュノーケルしない母もセーリングが楽しかったと大満足でした。またドリンクメニューは日本語の紙を渡してくれたので、好きなお酒を飲みながら綺麗な海も見れて大満足でした！

I attended with my son and his wife. We completed the check-in on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center and waited in front of the buffet venue. Until the venue guidance began, we had to wait on the 4th floor at our leisure, so arriving earlier than the designated time doesn't mean you can enter sooner. The buffet was plentiful, featuring a whole roasted pig and roast beef, and it was delicious. After the buffet, we moved to the show venue. Since entry was based on the order of the line, the earlier you lined up, the sooner you could enter. My husband, a fan of Elvis Presley, was looking forward to this show, so we lined up early. The show started with the history of Hawaii and, as the title suggests, was a fusion of hula and rock? There were impersonators who moved around the venue, shaking hands and giving out scarves, creating a lively atmosphere just like a real show. It was fun with hula, impersonators, and fire dancing. After the show, there was also a photo opportunity with the impersonators.

息子夫婦と一緒に参加しました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンター４Fで受付を済ませブッフェ会場前で待機。
会場案内が始まるまでは思い思いに4Fフロアで待つことになるので、指定時間より早く行っても早く入れるわけではありません。
ブッフェは豚の丸焼きやローストビーフ等充実していて美味しかったです。
ブッフェが終わるとショーの会場へ移動。こちらは並び順なので早く並べば早く会場に入れます。私達はプレスリーファンの夫がこのショーを楽しみにしていたので早めに並びました。
ショーはハワイの歴史から始まり、題名の通りフラとロックの融合？プレスリーは本物のショーのように、そっくりさんが会場を回り握手をしたり、マフラーをプレゼントしたりと会場は大盛り上がりでした。
フラあり、そっくりさんあり、ファイヤーダンスありで楽しかったです。
ショー終了後はそっくりさんとの写真撮影タイムもありました。

We used this for our honeymoon trip.
This was our first time experiencing the cast show.
Although most of the staff and cast members didn't speak much Japanese, the check-in and dining processes went very smoothly, and we had a wonderful time.
The facility was very clean and stylish. Especially in the waiting hall when we entered as VIPs, we were served very cute snacks, which made my wife very happy.
The show itself featured famous impersonations that even people in their 20s like us know, and it was so diverse that we were completely absorbed, with no time to catch our breath.

I definitely want to use this again on our next trip to Hawaii.

新婚旅行にて利用させて頂きました。
今回初めて、キャストショーを利用させて頂きました。
スタッフの方キャストの方殆ど日本語はあまり話せない様でしたが、受付や食事等とてもスムーズに進み大変楽しいひと時を味わえました。
施設内はとても清潔でおしゃれな空間でした。特にVIPで入場した際の待合のホールではとても可愛らしいおつまみを提供して頂き妻も満足しておりました。
ショー自身は20代の私達でも知っている有名な人のものまねショーとなど客席をMAXまで使用したショーなど多彩で息をつく暇も無いほどに見入ってしまうほどでした。

又、次回ハワイへ旅行の際は利用したいと思った一つでした。

Highlight of our holiday, friendly & experienced crew, I liked the crew member being in the water & keeping the group together...it felt safe, plus the turtles were amazing!!

Wonderful dinner and show impersonators spot on and interactive with audience fire show was a wow factor dancers and singers wonderful excitement, something that my wife and I would do again.

Amazing experience!! The food, service, setting and ambiance is outstanding. Highly recommend and do the 7 course meal, so worth it!!

I signed up for this tour thinking it would be an easy activity for my first time in Hawaii. I initially thought we would just be sitting on the boat, but after a while, once the captain introduced himself and the crew, we were able to go out on deck and enjoy the view of the ocean.

The narration was in English, and there were newlyweds, families, and solo travelers, but everyone was very friendly and cheerful.

We were able to see dolphins and sea turtles, and my whole family was extremely satisfied, wanting to repeat the experience the next day. I would like to use this service again on another occasion.

初ハワイで何か手軽なアクティビティーをと思い、このツアーに申し込みました。普通に船に座って乗っているだけかと思いきや、船が出てからしばらくして船長さん達の紹介を終えると甲板に出て海を眺めることが出来ました。

進行は英語で、海外の新婚さんや家族連れ、おひとり様の方もいましたが、とても和気藹々としていました。

イルカやウミガメにも会うことができ、家族みんな大満足で翌日またリピートしたいと思うほどでした。
またの機会にも利用したいとおもいます。

We took the sunset cruise and enjoyed the meal and going out and watching the sunset on the Ocean in view of diamond head.

We participated as a family with children. First of all, I was satisfied with the buffet, but I felt the time was too short. Right at the start, the kids were called to participate in games. After that, we danced together and it seemed fun, but we hardly had time to eat. Once we finished our meal, we quickly moved to the show venue, so it would have been nice to enjoy a bit more chatting.

As for the show, the hula was impressive, but one of the women dancing clearly fell behind and made mistakes, and there were some who seemed like amateurs. A few cast members dressed as celebrities appeared, but I only knew their names and couldn't tell if they resembled the actual celebrities. Moreover, the celebrities I recognized hardly sang, and there wasn't much dancing, which was disappointing. There was a woman who sang well, but there were very few songs I knew, which was a bit unfortunate. Some family members even got sleepy during the show. However, we did get to see a fire dance towards the end, which, although the time was quite short, was impressive and fun. Overall, since we were in Hawaii, I chose "a little disappointed" because I really wanted to see the hula properly.

子連れの家族で参加しました。
まず、ブッフェの内容には満足でしたが、時間が短かったと感じました。
開始すぐに子供たちは呼び出され、ゲームに参加しました。
その後、一緒にダンスを踊り、楽しそうでしたが、ほとんど食事はさせられませんでした。
私たちも、一通り食べたらすぐショーの会場に移動となったので、もう少しお喋りしながら楽しめたら良かったです。
ショーに関しては、フラは見ごたえがありましたが、踊っている女性の一人が明らかに遅れをとったり振りを間違えたり、素人のような人が混ざっていました。
有名人に扮したキャストが数名でてきましたが、名前しか知らず、似ているのかどうなのか良く分かりませんでした。また知っている有名人もほぼ歌っておらず、ダンスもあまりなく、がっかりでした。
歌が上手な女性の方がおりましたが、知っている歌が非常に少なく、ちょっと残念でした。
家族にはショーの間に眠くなったものもおりました。
ただ、最後の方にファイヤーダンスが見られて、時間はかなり短かったですが見ごたえがあり楽しかったです。
トータルとしては、やはりせっかくのハワイなので、せめてフラはちゃんと見たかったため「少しがっかり」を選びました。
