All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

There were few fish. More than half of the scenery was empty. I felt seasick. Since they don't shine white light on the fish, it was almost a black-and-white world. It was a wedding, so despite having paid a lot of money, my mother whispered, "This is one of the three major disappointments in Hawaii."

魚が少ない。何も無い景色が半分以上。船酔い。魚に白色光を当てないので、ほぼ白黒の世界。結婚式だったので、折角高いお金を払ったのに、母親が「これはハワイ三大ガッカリの１つ」と呟いていました。

The sea has a very shallow coral reef, which may vary depending on the time of day and season. In shallow areas, the coral can be about 50 centimeters deep, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured.

While explanations are available in Japanese, the level of danger is such that it doesn't help much. I was fine, but someone in my group did get hurt.

Additionally, the waves are weak, and beginners who are not used to paddling will find themselves unable to do anything without the instructor pushing their board, leading to a lot of waiting time.

These issues are not the fault of the instructors or the tour office; they are problems with Waikiki Beach itself. If you participate in activities at Waikiki Beach, you might find it difficult to enjoy anything. However, if you go snorkeling, you might be able to see the coral and have some fun.

時間帯や季節によるかもしれませんがかなり遠浅な珊瑚礁のある海です。浅いところは珊瑚が50センチ位な所もあり運悪いと怪我します
その辺は日本語で説明を受けられますが説明を受けてもどうにもならないレベルで危険
私は大丈夫でしたがグループ内で怪我をした方がいました

また波も弱くパドリングになれていない初心者ではインストラクターに板を押してもらわないと何も出来なくて待ち時間ばかりになります

これらはインストラクターやツアー営業所の問題ではなくワイキキビーチの問題です。ワイキキビーチでのアクティビティに参加すると何をやってもダメでしょう
シュノーケリングならばもしかすると珊瑚が見れて楽しいかもしれない

Since we decided to meet on-site, I will head to the venue by 6:30 PM. If you show your reservation screen at the reception, they will guide you. First, we will toast with a welcome drink, then enjoy a buffet while listening to music and watching hula performances. The dining area is right next to the reception, not inside the venue.

I thought it might be fine not to include a meal, but since there will be hula performances during the meal and the people who bring drinks are also part of the show, I think it would be nice to remember their faces for a different kind of enjoyment during the show.

After the meal, we will enter the venue and freely look at the exhibits before heading to the second-floor seating. The seating arrangement is determined by the order of entry. When we went, we were able to sit in the very front of the second floor. It seems that on the first floor, you can watch the show while dining.

The show starts with visuals, upbeat music, and hula dancing. The impersonation show is entirely in English, so if you don't understand English, you might miss some of the fun. However, the Elvis impersonator came to the second floor and even shook hands, making it a vibrant show that I would recommend for those who love glamorous performances and rock music.

Both during the meal and the show, the vibe is very American, so I had the impression that, including us, the Japanese audience might not be fully in sync. However, the dynamic stage with quick changes in costumes and stage impressions kept us entertained throughout the slightly over one-hour show, making for a wonderful and enjoyable night.

現地集合にしたので18時30分までに会場へ向かいます。
受付で予約画面を見せると案内してもらえます。
まずはウエルカムドリンクで乾杯したあとに音楽を聞きながら、フラを見ながらのバイキングです。
食事場所は会場の中ではなく受付のすぐとなりになります。

食事の内容的には付けなくてもいいかなーと思いましたが、食事中にフラを披露したりドリンクを持ってきてくれた人がショーにも出ているので、顔を覚えているとショー中も別な楽しみ方があると思います。

食事のあとは会場内に入り展示品などを自由に見てから２階席へ。入った順番で座る場所が決まります。
私たちの時は２階席の一番前に座ることができました。１階では食事をしながらショーが見れるようです。

ショーは映像と軽快な音楽とフラダンスではじまります。
ものまねショーはすべて英語なので英語がわからないと面白さは若干劣るような気がしますが、2階席までエルビスのそっくりさんが来てくれたり握手をしてくれたりするので華やかなショーやロックが好きな方にはおすすめです。

食事中もショー中もノリがアメリカンなので私たちも含め、日本人はノリ切れてないかなー？という印象でしたが、1時間ちょっとのショーの中で衣装もステージの印象も短時間で変化をさせながら迫力あるステージで最後まで飽きさせない演出はとても素晴らしく楽しい夜を過ごせました。

After completing the check-in, I was guided to my dining seat, and first up was a Mai Tai. It was great to have the option to choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Before long, a whole roasted pig made its appearance, and the buffet meal began. There was a wide variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. Hot items were served hot, and cold items were served cold, leaving me very satisfied and full.

Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive and full of service spirit, making for a very enjoyable experience. The show featured a lot, including performances by Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, hula dancing, and fire dancing. The quality was high, and I was extremely satisfied.

I will definitely go back to see it again.

受け付けを済ませると食事の席に案内され、まずはマイタイ。アルコールとノンアルコールから選べるのがありがたいです。
しばらくすると豚の丸焼き登場しバイキングの食事がスタート。
品数も豊富でどれも美味しくいただきました。
温かい物は温かく、冷たい物は冷たく、満足、お腹いっぱいになりました。
食事中も気遣いとサービス精神旺盛でとても楽しく過ごせました。
ショーもマイケル・ジャクソン、エルヴィス・プレスリー、フラダンス、ファイヤーダンス等盛りだくさん。
クオリティも高く大満足でした。
また見に行きます。

What I love about this show is its variety performance. It has hula dances, Michael Jackson, Elvis and fire eater. All the performances were very good. I love Elvis. I would have loved to see more hula dances but overall it was good. Also, I wish it was a little longer. We opted for the pre-performance buffet dinner and it was good too. The band was good as well. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is worth it. It is not the usual luau but it had a las vegas impersonators. My family enjoyed it including my teenage kids. It is for all ages. Very well choreographed. Love that it is inside an indoor theatre.

It was a sunset tour, but we couldn't see the sunset at all, so it was just a tour to enjoy drinks, which was a bit disappointing... The people who were lively and entertaining were truly wonderful.

サンセットツアーなのに夕日が全く見えなくて、お酒を飲んで楽しむだけのツアーで、少しガッカリしました。。。
盛り上げていた方は、本当に素敵な人達でした。

My encounter with Presley happened when the café run by my relatives was closing down. I was told I could take as many records as I wanted from the store, and among them was a flashy record featuring Presley in a red aloha shirt, which was from Blue Hawaii. From that point on, I became completely hooked on Presley instead of the Beatles. Even though I traveled to Hawaii every year, I avoided impersonations, but on my family's recommendation, I saw a show for the first time. Presley was, of course, amazing, and some of the dancers reminded me of the times I danced when I was young, creating wonderful memories.

プレスリーとの出会いは、親族の経営する喫茶店が閉店することになり、店で使用していたレコード、好きなだけ持って帰っていいと言われその中に、赤いアロハシャツを着た派手なレコードがあり、それがブルーハワイのプレスリーでした、それからはビートルズではなくプレスリーに完全にはまり込みました、それだけに、毎年ハワイに旅行に行っても、物まねは嫌と避けていましたが、家族のすすめで初めてショウーを見てプレスリーは勿論素晴らしかったし、ダンサー達の何人かは幼い時に踊っていたときを思い出させてくれて、すばらしい思い出になりました。

I participated in a three-generation family trip! My father had been hoping to see a submarine! I was so moved when I saw it emerge from the sea before diving!! However, once we dove, there were not many fish to see. I was expecting to see a variety of fish, but there was a lot of time spent just looking at the endless seabed, with only occasional fish…

3世代家族旅行で参加しました！
父が希望していた、潜水艦！潜る前に海から現れる姿を見て見たときは、感動しましたー！！
が、いざ潜ると、魚少ないのですね〜
もう少し色々な魚が見られるのかな？と期待していましたが、果てしなく続く海底を眺める時間も多く、たまに魚…という感じでした、汗

I highly recommend this show. It is one of a kind show. It is a luau with Las Vegas flare. I particularly loved Elvis. I wish he could have sang some more songs but it was still a great show. All the performances were outstanding. The band was good too. Also the fire dance was great. My kids enjoyed it. Do not hesitate to watch the show. When I come back to Honolulu I want to watch it again. We had the dinner buffet before the show and the food was great too. It included a free maitai. I also like that it was in an enclosed theatre. Rock a hula, you rock. I would not hesitate to watch it again.

I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.

妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。

It was different from the image of the impersonation rock show that was on TV about seven years ago. Neither Elvis nor Michael looked alike at all, and their singing and voices were not similar, which was disappointing! However, the surrounding band and dancing were very good!

７年位前にコマーでやっていたモノマネロックショウのイメージとは違いました。エルビスもマイケルも全く顔も似ていないし歌も声も似て居なくてガッカリ！しかし周りのバンド、踊りはとても良かった！

This will be a repeat visit.
The scenery, the wind, and the vibe are truly amazing.
It can get a bit chilly when you head out to sea, so it might be a good idea to bring a jacket.
I will use this service again.

リピートの利用になります。
風景も風もノリも本当に最高です。
沖に出るとちょっと寒いので上着を持って行くといいかも。
また利用します。

We participated as a mature couple. Our understanding of English is just enough to grasp what is being said, but we had an amazing time. The cheerful captain and the foreign participants really enhanced the atmosphere, making it a fun cruise. We were also deeply moved by the views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the beauty of the sunset from the sea. We definitely want to participate again next time!

熟年夫婦で、参加しました。英語は、なんとなく言ってることが理解できる程度の私達ですが、最高に楽しめました。陽気なキャプテンや外国人の参加者が場を盛り上げてくれ楽しいクルーズとなりました。また、海から見るワイキキの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッド、サンセットの美しさに大変感動しました。次回も絶対参加したい！

Memorable experience! The crew provided a fun relaxed environment. They were attentive to our needs but allowed you freedom to explore the boat. Excellent snorkeling near the reef. My family had the opportunity to view a variety of sea creatures. Free snacks while sailing was an added bonus. Great overall experience at an economical price.

This was a great show. We have been to luaus before and we promise not to do it again because we feel that they are way overpriced but we decided to gamble on this one since it had great reviews and it sounded different with the rock and roll and boy it did not disappoint. Our whole party of 6 really enjoyed the show from beginning to end. I highly recommend this show to everyone. My favorite was Elvis. Its like watching Vegas in Hawaii. The buffet dinner was good too. The roast pork was great. They also had tofu and other vegetables for my vegan daughter. Very well organized and everybody was great.

Reading this experience beforehand was very helpful. I took action early, arriving around 6:10 for the 6:30 event. The reception had already started, and I was about third in line to exchange my ticket, then headed to the dining area next door. I was able to sit in the second row, so I was the second to go for the buffet. Since I arrived early, I could enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. The drink included was a Mai Tai, and although I wanted to have some wine, I decided against it in case I needed to use the restroom during the show. After finishing my meal, I thought about going to the restroom, but I was already allowed into the theater. Because I acted quickly, I was able to sit in the center of the first row on the second floor. The venue was not as large as I expected, so I had a very good view. I thought it was just the right size. During the show, Elvis surprisingly came up to the second floor and crossed right in front of the first row while shaking hands, which was exciting even though I recognized him as an impersonator. I enjoyed both the meal and the show. I thought that sometimes this kind of experience in Hawaii is nice.

こちらの体験談を読んでから出かけたので、大変役立ちました
早め早めの行動をとりました
6：30～ということなので6：10ぐらいには到着したと思います
すでに受付が始まっておりました、３番目ぐらいですぐにチケットを交換してもらい横にある食事会場へ行きました、２列目の席に座れたので
ブッフェを取りに行く番が２番目でした、早めに行っておいたのでのんびり食事ができました、ドリンクはマイタイがついていましたのでワインも飲みたかったけどショーの時おトイレに行きたくなったらこまるのでやめておきました。食事が終りおトイレに行こうと思ったらもう劇場の席に入れました
行動が早かったので２階の１列目のセンターに座ることができました。
思ったより会場は広くなかったのでとてもよく見えました。
ちょうどいい広さだなと思いました
ショーではエルビスがなんと２階まで上がってきてくれ１列目の前を握手をしながら横断してくれたのでそっくりサンとはわかっていても嬉かったです
食事・ショーともに楽しめました
たまにはこういうハワイもいいかなと思いました。

The concert features high-level singers and dancers, making it a rich experience. The appeal lies in being able to enjoy hula and fire dancing simultaneously, but the number of dancers left a slightly small impression.

歌手やダンサーのレベルは高く内容が濃いコンサートです。フラやファイヤーダンスも同時に楽しめる点が魅力ですが、ダンサー数の規模感が若干こじんまりの印象は残りました。

We didn't apply for VIP, so we first had a meal on the terrace while listening to music and watching hula. The food was delicious! We moved indoors and got to see a lot of songs and hula in the show. The hula was really cute!

私たちはVIPを申し込まなかったので、まずはテラスで音楽を聴きながらとフラを見ながら食事しました。ご飯も美味しかったです！室内に移動してショーも沢山の歌やフラを見れました。フラがすごく可愛かったです！

WE CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN. THE STAFF WAS AMAZING, EASY TO WORK WITH, PATIENT, FUN, EXCITING, AND EXPERIENCED. I HAVE 2 11YR OLDS AND IT WAS THEIR FIRST TIME. THEY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE HELP OF THE CREW. WE WILL DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN.

The Royal Hawaiian Center was a convenient stop for the trolley, so transportation wasn't particularly necessary. I was a bit surprised that the buffet was set up in a tent, but the food was absolutely delicious. As a Japanese person, I couldn't fully satisfy my craving for rice, but that's not specific to this place. During the meal, they entertained us with hula and singing, which was enjoyable. I considered opting for the VIP seats, but the seats we were given were not far and had a good view. Overall, it was an easy-to-see venue. I really enjoyed the show and I'm so glad I was able to participate. I would love to see it again when I visit Hawaii next time. I'm also curious about the VIP seats. Thank you very much.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターはトロリーなど停まるところだったため送迎は特に必要ありませんでした。ビュッフェを用意されていたのがテントだったので少しびっくりはしましたが、ビュッフェの内容も申し分なく美味しかったです。お米はどうしても日本人なので満足はできませんでしたが、それはここに限らずです。食事中もフラをしたり歌ったり盛り上げてくれたりと楽しめました。ビップ席にするかも迷いましたが通される席も遠くなく良く見えました。全体的に見やすい会場でした。ショーもすごく楽しめました。参加することができて本当に良かったです。またハワイに行く際は見て見たいなと思います。ビップ席も気になります。ありがとうございました。

Only comment for improvement would be the food and the entertainment. Seemed that it was better when I went 5 years ago. There was a larger variety of food as well as more talented entertainment

I felt a bit anxious because I had to wait a few minutes after checking in. However, the person who assisted me was a foreigner, but very kind and even taught me a little Japanese, so I was able to get on the ride right away! I had plenty of fun by myself!

最初受付をしてから何分か待たされたので少し不安になりました。ですが、教えてくれる方は外国の方ですが、とても優しく少し日本語でも教えてくれて一発目で乗れました！一人で十分楽しめました！

We booked this activity for our first full day in Oahu. The shuttle pickup location was fairly easy to locate with the instructions given. The boat was very nice and spacious, and the staff were friendly. The food and drink selection for lunch was good. I enjoyed the hot tea and coffee options as it got a little chilly at times out on the desk. We saw whales right away, right along the coast of Diamond Head. They tracked the whales and we were able to see the pair come up to the surface multiple times during the course of the trip. The guide was very informative, giving us a lot of facts about the whales, their migratory patterns, etc. Make sure to take your Dramamine... I bought some and didn't have any issues... but I definitely saw a few people who got seasick and did not have quite as good of an experience as we did. The professional photographer was a nice addition, and allowed us to enjoy being present in the moment while they captured the whales. We purchased two prints at the end of the trip that were beautiful. Make sure to bring a light jacket, and binoculars (I was glad I remembered mine!).

Overall the whole experience was great. Loved how everyone very involved and interacting with the audience. Loved the setup of how they lead us from one place to the next and drinks were amazing. Also loved how Elvis came to up to my baby. This was definitely my top experience in Hawaii this week. I felt as if I was in a movie because everyone was so friendly and we’re treating us all so nicely. The involvement of the employees from the dinner to the show was amazing on how they were involved The Who way through. I’m happy this was one of the first things we did on our list because it made the trip start of very good.

I participated on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii, and the weather was nice and pleasant. The kids were also happy, so I'm glad I joined.

ハワイ到着初日に参加しましたが、天気もよく気持ちよかった。
子供たちも喜んでいたので、参加してよかったです。

We participated with eight people.
Michael was a bit on the heavier side with a bit of a belly, which disappointed everyone, but Elvis was perfect in both singing and appearance!!!
After the show, he took pictures and signed autographs, and everyone was thrilled.
Definitely give it a try at least once!

８人で参加しました
マイケルはちょっと太めでお腹出てて みんながっかりだったけど
エルビスは歌も容姿もバッチリ！！！
ショー終了後に、写真撮ってくれたりサイン書いてくれたりと喜んでました
是非一度は体験下さい！

Since the premium seats were fully booked, I participated in the standard seats. It was a time of unusual weather with a lot of rain and clouds, but fortunately, it cleared up, and I was able to enjoy the show with a beautiful view of Diamond Head and the ocean. I was satisfied with the variety of entertainment, including singing, hula dancing, live ukulele performances, and a fire show. For those who have never seen a Hawaiian show, I think it's a great option to enjoy with family for a special occasion. There were also many children present.

プレミア席が満席だったためスタンダード席で参加。
異常気象で雨や曇りが多い時期でしたが、運良く晴れてダイヤモンドヘッド、海も綺麗に見える中でショーを楽しめました。
歌、フラ含めた踊り、ウクレレ生演奏、ファイヤーショーなどいろいろなものを楽しむことができ満足です。ハワイアンショーをまだ見たことが無い方は、何かの記念日などにご家族で利用するのもとても良いと思います。子供もたくさんいました。

From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

The lesson method is somewhat forceful for beginners. We understand English, but it seems the instructor found it tedious to explain, as they rushed through without much explanation, insisting we learn by doing. I signed up hoping to create wonderful memories with a long-time friend, but since it was at the beach and there was only one instructor, I can't say I felt completely at ease. The session was also shorter than the time stated in the materials. The rash guard felt like just a T-shirt, and it became somewhat heavy when wet. It's strange that there are only positive reviews, perhaps due to the Japanese tendency. While we were able to ride the waves, I have to rate it lower for the peace of mind aspect. We hope for a safe and comfortable trip.

初心者にはやや強引なレッスン方法。
私たちは英語がわかるけどインストラクターの方は説明するのが面倒くさいのか、あまり説明すらなく体で覚えろとばかりにどんどん進んでいきます。今回は長い付き合いの友人と最高の思い出作りにと思い申し込みましたが、海だしインストラクターが一人しかついて居らっしゃらないので安心して出来たかと言えば…。資料に乗っていた時間より短かったですし。
ラッシュガードもただのTシャツ？という感じで水を含むとやや重いです。
日本人の性格なのか、良い口コミしかないのが不思議です。
波には乗れたけど、安心面として評価は低めに設定させて頂きます。
私たちは安心で快適な旅を希望します。

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
