All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

My daughter, who is now a middle school student, went on her first overseas trip to Hawaii. I wanted her to see a hula show and try kalua pork, so I signed up for this tour. It was also great that the venue was just a 2-3 minute walk from our hotel.

The buffet venue and the show venue were separate, so we had to move between them. The buffet was located in the garden space next to the 4th-floor corridor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, but it felt cramped with tables packed into a small area. There was a small hula show, which might have felt more intimate, but I think it would have been better to have a larger space or reduce the number of guests to about two-thirds for more comfort. The buffet style allowed us to fill our plates with kalua pork, roast beef, salads, and other favorites, which seemed to be enjoyable. The dessert sorbet was surprisingly sour, and both my daughter and I were taken aback by it.

As for the show venue, we were seated in the second-floor section, but it wasn't a very large venue, so we were really close to the stage and could see everything well.

中学生になる娘は初めての海外旅行、初めてのハワイでした。
フラショーを見せてあげたく、カルアポークも見て食べてみて欲しくて、このツアーに申込みました。
会場が宿泊していたホテルから徒歩２～３分だったのもよかったです。

ビュッフェの会場とショーの会場は別で移動が必要でした。
ビュッフェの会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階通路横のガーデンスペースですが、狭いスパースに詰め込んだ感満載のテーブル席でした。ちょっとしたフラショーがあり、身近に感じられてよいのかもしれませんが、もう少し広いところでするか、客数を三分の二くらいにしてゆとりがあった方がよいと思います。
ビュッフェスタイルでカルアポークやローストビーフ、サラダなど、好きなものを好きなだけお皿に入れるのも楽しかったようです。デザートのシャーベットは見た目よりすっぱくて娘と二人でびっくりしました。

ショーの会場は私たちは２階席でしたが、そんなに広い会場ではなかったのでステージまですごく近くてよく見ることができました。

I decided to participate in the sailing instead of the dinner cruise because it had a higher review score and also goes out to Diamond Head. Choosing this sailing was definitely the right decision.

There was only one other Japanese group besides me. The rest were foreigners, and everyone was really lively. People of various ages were on board.

It was slightly cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to fully enjoy the process of the evening setting in and the night view becoming more prominent. It was romantic, and I savored the beautiful scenery.

The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and after toasting with Mai Tai, there were various options like pineapple beer (which wasn't sold at ABC Store), sparkling wine, and wine.

Since the weather wasn't great, there were times when the boat rocked like an attraction. It was fun, but if you're prone to seasickness, it might be better to go on a nice day.

I enjoyed the sea breeze, the twilight, and the night view, and had a wonderful time. I would love to go again! I absolutely recommend it!

ディナー・クルージングよりも、セーリングの方がレビュー点数が高いのと、さらにダイアモンドヘッド沖まで行くのでこれに参加する事に決めました。このセーリングにして、大正解でした。

日本人は私以外は一組だけ。外国人ばかりでノリノリです。幅広い年齢の方が乗船していました。

薄曇りだったので、日没は見る事ができませんでしたが、夕暮れて行き、夜景が際立っていく過程を充分に見る事ができました。ロマンチックで、美しい景色を堪能しました。

ドリンクは、飲み放題でマイタイで乾杯の後、パイナップル・ビール（ABCストアでも売っていませんでした）、スパークリングワイン、ワイン等、様々ありました。

天気が良くなかったので、アトラクションの様に船が揺れた時もありました。面白かったけれど、船酔いし易い方は、天気の良い日に乗船なさった方が良いかも知れません。

海風と夕暮れと夜景を味わい、すてきな時間を過ごせました。また乗船したいです！　絶対にお勧めです！

Since I participated on Friday, I watched the fireworks from the Hilton instead of enjoying the sunset. The crew members were very fun, but there were free Mai Tai cocktails being served, and the boat was quite crowded and chaotic. On the day of the event, there was an announcement that the sea was relatively calm, but there were people who got sick from the alcohol and seasickness, so I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take some medication.

金曜日参加だったので、サンセット鑑賞ではなくヒルトンの花火を船上から観ました。
クルーさんがとても楽しい方でしたが、フリーのマイタイカクテルが振舞われるのと船内が人いっぱいでカオス状態でもありました(^^;;
参加日当日は、割と海が静かだというアナウンスはありましたが、お酒と船酔いで吐いていた人もいるので、乗り物酔いをされる方は、酔い止めを服用されることをオススメします。

This whale watching trip was the highlight of our week long vacation on Oahu! I will recommend this whale watching trip as a most do for anyone going to Hawaii! Food was excellent; the onboard naturalist was great and the boat and crew were first rate.

Unfortunately the weather gods were not on our side and we had high winds and very rough ocean.

However the boys who run this trip make it fun for everyone - the unlimited bar is just an added bonus.

Even though we didn't see the sunset due to weather I can imagine what it would be like on a perfect Hawaiian day.

We will definately go again on our next trip.

The boat and crew are awesome! Highly recommend! Me and my girlfriend and roommate have a blast. All you can drink and it’s all inclusive. I lived in Hawaii for 18 years and every time I go back to visit I try and go on a booze Cruze.

I participated in a honeymoon trip. If you're staying at Outrigger Reef, the meeting place is close and I recommend it. The sailing time was quite long, and I really enjoyed the cruise.

It was great to see the diamond head clearly. Since it was March, the wind was stronger than expected, and it got quite cold in the second half. Since you'll be taking off your shoes, I think it's better for those who get cold easily to dress warmly.

There was a wide range of participants, from young to old. Most were Westerners. There were various cocktails and alcohol available, making it a very enjoyable cruise.

新婚旅行で参加しました。アウトリガーリーフに滞在の方は集合場所が近くてオススメです。航海時間も結構あり、クルーズを満喫できました。
ダイアモンドベッドがしっかり見れてよかったです。3月でしたからか予想以上に風が強く後半はかなり寒かったです。くつも脱ぎますので、寒がりの方は着込んだ方がいいと思います。
老若男女という感じで幅広い方が参加されてました。ほぼ欧米人でしたが。
カクテルなどアルコールも色々あってとても楽しいクルーズでした。

This spa’s Lomi Lomi I feel very good and so refreshed！It’s a perfect massage. I really appreciate the professional and hospitality！

The sunset was the goal, but due to bad weather, we couldn't go out into the bay. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was not delicious at all. It felt more like just having a meal inside the boat rather than a sunset dinner cruising experience.

サンセットが目的でしたが天候悪く湾の外に出られませんでした。料理については期待はしていませんでしたが全く美味しく有りませんでした。サンセットディナークルージングでは無く舟の中で食事だけした感じです。

It was raining in the morning, and the venue was changed, making it very difficult for non-staying guests at Hilton Hawaiian Village to find the location! However, while wandering around, we noticed more and more groups who seemed to be lost like us, and we all searched together, which eased our anxiety. Among them, a family from NJ seemed to be staying in the tower with the ballroom after the change, and although it was unrelated to the show, the concierge we asked at the hotel was not very helpful. The venue felt like a large wedding hall and had a smaller number of attendees, but we had seats in the front center, where we could closely watch lei-making and even get temporary tattoos done by magicians. The children had a great time as well. They came to our seats to take drink orders for three rounds, and we were allowed to go to the buffet first, with both the food and desserts being delicious. The show started quite early, so I was very grateful for the priority seating. Of course, we got to see an impressive show, and even though the rain in Hawaii had us feeling a bit down, we enjoyed a fun night with a fire show by three masters.

朝から雨が降っていて、場所が変更されての開催でしたが、ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ非滞在者にはとても場所が分かりにくい！！しかし、うろついている間に、同じような迷子？グループが増えていき、みんなで探して不安がまぎれました。なかでもNJからお越しのご家族は、変更後のボルルームのあるタワーに宿泊していたらしく、ショーとは関係ないですが、質問したホテルのコンシェルジュが頼りなかったです。会場は大きな結婚式場みたいな感じで人数も少なめな感じでしたが、前方中央席で、近くでレイ作りや、マジックで入れ墨？を書いてくれたり、子供も多いに楽しんでいました。ドリンクも三杯分、きっちり席まで聞きに来てくれたし、バッフェも優先に取らせてもらえて、料理もデザートもおいしかったです。ショーは結構早く始まったので、優先で取れるのは大変ありがたいと思いました。もちろんばっちり迫力のあるショーが見られたし、雨のハワイではテンションも下がり気味でしたが、三人のマスターによるファイヤーショーも見られて、楽しい夜になりました。

Since it was April 1st, I wonder if the whale season had already passed, as I couldn't spot any. It's disappointing.
However, I was able to see parasailing from the boat, and I enjoyed lunch while cruising, so that was nice.
Lunch was a buffet style, and I made my own ham sandwich, which was delicious along with the fruit.
It would have been amazing to see even a little bit of whales; I'm really disappointed.

4月1日だったので、くじらの時期を過ぎてしまったのか、発見できませんでした。残念です。
船からパラセーリングが見られたし、クルージングしながらランチが食べられたので、まあいいかな。
ランチは、バイキング形式で、自分でハムサンドイッチを作って食べました。フルーツもあって美味しかったです。
少しでもくじら見れたら、最高だったのに、本当に残念です。

We participated with one high school child and two parents. At first, we were a bit anxious, but the instructors explained the precautions with plenty of humor, which eased our tension. It was our first time surfing, but when the waves came, the instructors pushed us from behind, allowing us to ride the waves. After a few tries, we all managed to stand on the boards. If we have the opportunity, we would like to come back here again.

高校生の子供1人と親2人で参加しました
最初は大丈夫か不安でしたが、
注意事項説明から先生みなさんがユーモアたっぷりで緊張がほぐれました
初めてのサーフィンでしたが、波が来ると先生が後ろから押してくれるので波に乗れます
何回かしているうちに何とか全員ボードに立てる様になりました
また機会があればこちらでお世話になりたいと思いました

Unfortunately, we couldn't take photos due to the rain, but the lesson was lively and engaging, making it enjoyable. Thank you, and I look forward to next time.

あいにくの雨のため、写真撮影ができませんでしたが、レッスンの方は、乗りがよく盛り上げていただいたので、楽しくできました。
また、よろしくお願いします。

such a fun way to begin our trip in hawaii. We arrived and headed straight for the cruise and it was just amazing.. the staff were awesome and never let your glass become empty. Such a nice way to see the whole of Waikiki beach. Highly recommended!!

The weather was perfect, but we couldn't see any whales. I was happy to have announcements in Japanese after getting on the bus, but on the return trip, there was nothing, and there were no coupons or anything for the next time in case we didn't see anything. I believe they mentioned that if we didn't see anything, we would receive a ticket to board again. What will happen with that? I returned home feeling unsatisfied. It's disappointing.

お天気は最高でしたが、クジラは見ることできませんでした。
バスに乗ってから日本語での案内もあり喜んでいましたが、帰りのバスでは何もなく、また見れなかった場合の次回のクーポン？的なものも一切ありませんでした。確か見れなかった時は再度乗船できる券をくださるとあったはず。
これってどうなるんでしょう。
腑に落ちない気分で帰国しました。残念です。

The meeting place was easy to find, and although there were some communication issues during the lesson in English, I had a great time!

集合場所もわかりやすく、英語でのレッスンでやや意思の疎通がとれないこともありましたが、楽しめましたー

We considered taking a cruise on the day of our family trip with 10 members as a memorable experience. We debated between a large cruise ship with meals included or a sunset cruise on a catamaran yacht. Having previously experienced both, and thinking about the grandchildren, we chose the catamaran yacht since it was "closer to the sea." Seeing the joy of our four grandchildren during the cruise and after disembarking made me realize that we made the right choice with the yacht. No one in our family got seasick, but those who are sensitive to motion should take precautions like taking medication.

10名の家族旅行の記念にと思い、急遽　当日に乗船を検討。食事付きの大型客船か双胴船ヨットでのサンセットクルーズにするか悩みましたが、以前　大型客船とヨット双方に乗船経験があり、孫を中心に考えると「海が近い」双胴船ヨットを選択しました。クルーズ中と下船した時の孫4名の喜びを見ると、ヨットにして良かったと実感しました。我が家族の中には船酔いした者はいませんでしたが、船に弱い人は薬を飲む等の対策は必要です。

We participated as a couple. The sunset was beautiful.
Hawaii has many sunny days, but it's rare to see a beautiful sunset with clouds near the horizon.
By the way, the sunset can also be beautifully viewed from the beach.
The staff provided a notice specifically for Japanese guests and were very proactive in taking photos, which was wonderful service.
The music played by the DJ felt a bit dated, and there were women in their 40s and 50s really enjoying it.
I thought the duration could be a little shorter.

夫婦で参加しました。夕日は綺麗でした。
ハワイは晴れの日が多いですが水平線の辺りは雲が多く綺麗なサンセットが見られるのはなかなかないかと思います。
ちなみにサンセットはビーチからでも綺麗に見れます。
スタッフも日本人専用注意書きをくれ、写真も進んで撮影してもらい、素晴らしい対応でした。
DJがかける音楽は少し世代が古く感じられ、40〜50代くらいのおばさんがノリノリでした。
時間はもう少し短くても良いかなと思いました。

The weather on the day of the tour was great, and the cruise was very enjoyable as it didn't sway at all. We saw whales several times, and dolphins swam alongside the boat, creating wonderful memories. I thought the meal would be a light snack, but it was quite substantial and delicious.

ツアーの日はお天気もよく、クルーズ中も全く揺れなくてとても楽しいクルーズでした☆
クジラも何度も出てきてくれたり、イルカが船の隣りを一緒に並走してくれたり、とってもいい思い出になりました(*^^*)食事ももっと軽食かと思っていたら、ボリュームもあって、美味しかったです☆

Both the dinner and the show were amazing! We had dinner with our reluctant child, but the staff were very kind and helpful. The dance in the show had a high quality, and it progressed at a good pace, so we never got bored!

ディナーもショーも最高でした☆嫌々期の子供も一緒にディナーでしたが、スタッフのみなさんがとても親切で助かりました(*^^*)ショーのダンスもクオリティーが高く、テンポよく進んだので飽きませんでした☆

It was very good.
I thought it would be nice if the comparison of the price list was a bit easier to read.
I really wanted to have dinner while watching the dance show, but it was a bit disappointing that we made a mistake with the reservation due to our oversight.

とても良かったです。
料金表の比較等をもう少し見やすくしてくれると良いなぁと思いました。
本当はダンスショー見ながらご飯食べたかったけど私達の見落としで間違えて予約してしまったのが少し残念でした。

During a day with a thunderstorm forecast, it miraculously cleared up, and although it wasn't perfect, I was able to witness an inspiring sunset. The moody music and the sunset illuminating the hotels in Waikiki, along with Diamond Head, are definitely worth seeing. However, the waves were over 3 meters, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.

雷予報の一日の中、奇跡的に晴れ、完ぺきとはいえないまでも、感動する夕焼けを観ることが出来ました。ムーディーな音楽と夕日に照らされたワイキキのホテル、ダイヤモンドヘッドは一見の価値ありです。
しかし、波が3メートル以上あり、船に酔いやすい方は注意が必要。

The first thing I got confused about was the description of the location, "there are stairs beyond the pool at Sheraton Waikiki." When I arrived, there were no participants for the tour, and I was flustered! In fact, there were two conditions written on the paper! For those going on the tour, please remember this well! The pool at Sheraton Waikiki is not the one with the waterslide; it is the pool that is for people aged 16 and over! So please be careful!

私はまず迷ったのは、「シェラトンワイキキのプールの先に階段があって」という場所説明ですね。行ってもツアーに参加する人がいなくてあたふた❗️実は紙に書いてある条件のところは２つあったのです‼️ツアーに行く方はよーく覚えておいてください！シェラトンワイキキのプールというのはウォータースライダーがあるプールではなくて、１６才以上の人が入れるプールのことです‼️
なので気をつけて‼️

This review is more for the Hanauma Bay. Such a beautiful place and all-around outstanding experience. I would definitely recommend a visit even if you don't plan on snorkling. I am grateful to have found this tour to take.

I am satisfied with the careful instruction provided to my 10-year-old son. He was able to ride easily, and once he could, he progressed quickly to the next level, which was efficient and seemed to bring him a sense of satisfaction. Thank you very much.

10歳の愚息を丁寧に教えて頂き満足です。
簡単に乗れるようになり、乗れたら次の段階とドンドン進んでくれて効率がよく、本人の満足感もあったようです。ありがとうございました。

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time. Clean boat, great crew, nice lunch and got to swim with the Turtles! Will definitely do this cruise again when back on Waikiki.

I had a great time. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, and I couldn't see the sunset, but I thoroughly enjoyed the food and live music. However, the air conditioning on the ship was quite strong, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.

楽しく過ごさせていただきました。
残念ながら曇りで、日の入りは見ることができませんでしたが、お料理や生演奏は満喫できまきた。
ただ、船内がけっこう空調がきいていたので、上着を持参する方がいいかもしれません。

It's all about timing when it comes to seeing whales, so I understand that. However, it was mentioned that if we couldn't see them, we could create a lei or have a ukulele experience, but we didn't do that. That's not fair ( ´∵｀) The buffet had a limited selection as well. I feel like I wasted my time...

鯨に会えるのはタイミングなので仕方ないですが、会えない時はレイの作成かウクレレ体験ができると書いてあったのに、してません。
嘘はダメでしょ( ´∵｀)
ブュッフェ料理も品数が少ないし。
ムダな時間を使いました…

The title is a bit confusing ... sunset and fireworks cruise ... I thought I was ordering the fireworks cruise but in fact it was a sunset booze cruise. Weather wasn’t great but that’s not their fault. The 5:30 cruise is the sunset cruise. 1 1/2 hours all you can drink MaiTais and champagne. Friday night the yaucht club races, so that was pretty cool to watch. When we got off the boat we walked down the beach and actually had a really good view of the fireworks so it all worked out.

It was my first time trying stand-up paddleboarding, but I received thorough instruction and had a great experience. The session lasted for an hour and a half, but the time flew by. The kids were able to stand up and move forward right away, and they looked like they were having a lot of fun. Later, I had the opportunity to use stand-up paddleboarding again, and the lessons were very helpful.

スタンドアップパドルはまったく初めてでしたが、
丁寧に指導していただき楽しく体験ができました。
レッスンを含め１時間３０分の体験でしたが、
あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。
子供たちはすぐに立ち上がって進みことができ
楽しそうでした。
後日、スタンドアップパドルを利用する機会があり、
レッスンが役立ちました。
