All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

Since this was our honeymoon, we chose the highest rank course called the Green Room, which allowed us to see behind the scenes and backstage. We received explanations about each dressing room and costume used by the cast, which enhanced our enjoyment of the show with a deeper understanding of the behind-the-scenes aspects. Above all, the special feeling of being in the Green Room, where we were treated to appetizers and sparkling wine, filled us with happiness.

The show itself was wonderful, creating a sense of unity with the audience, and the food was delicious! While the show alone would be great, if you're participating, I think it’s even more enjoyable to understand the backstage aspects as well. I highly recommend it for those celebrating a honeymoon or a special occasion!

今回ハネムーンと言う事もあり、ステージの裏側、バックステージまで拝見できるグリーンルームと言う最高ランクのコースにしました。
実際にキャストの方が使用する楽屋、衣装等１つ１つ説明して頂き舞台の裏側の事まで把握した上でショーを楽しめました。何より特別感があり、グリーンルームという部屋で前菜また、スパークリングワインのおもてなしを受けられる事が幸福感を満たしてくれます。
ショー自体も素晴らしくお客様との一体感があり、お料理も美味しく頂きました！
ショー単体でも良いとは思いますがせっかく参加されるのであれば是非、舞台裏等の事も理解された上でご覧になられるのもより楽しめるポイントかと思います。
ハネムーンや特別な日でご参加される方はオススメです！

The captain told us, and we were able to see the whale's tail perfectly! There was no rocking, and the wind felt really nice.

船長さんが教えてくれて、クジラのしっぽをバッチリ見ることができました！揺れもなくて、風がとても気持ち良かったです。

I was really worried about whether I would actually see anything, but I was glad that there were plenty of opportunities to see a lot! The operation was smooth, and the explanations on the boat were clear and varied, which made it very enjoyable!

本当に見られるか不安でしたが、実際たくさん見れるチャンスがあり良かったです!オペーレーションもスムーズで、船の上でも分かりやすく色々な説明をして下さりとても楽しめました!

Unfortunately, I couldn't see any whales. The wind was strong, and it was chilly being outside for a long time. Since I couldn't see any whales, they offered a re-boarding ticket at the end, but I had to decline as I didn't have the time to board again. The meal was average. The ship was nice, and there weren't too many people, so that was a positive aspect.

残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした。
風も強く、ずっと外に出ていると肌寒かったです。
クジラを見ることができなかったので再乗船券を最後に発行してくれますが、日程的に乗船する余裕がなく断念。
食事は普通でした。
キレイな船で、人もそんなに多くなかったので、その点はよかったです。

The crew on this sunset sail was so fun an energetic. Boat was beautiful and was definitely a must do!

I was unable to participate on the scheduled day due to a flight delay, which made me anxious, but I received a quick response to my inquiry email and was able to join on the final day! I received one-on-one instruction and was able to stand up even as a beginner, which was a lot of fun! I also purchased photos for $50. It's a wonderful keepsake!

飛行機遅延で予定してた日に参加できず、焦りましたが問い合わせメールに迅速に対応していただき、無事最終日に参加できました！
マンツーマンで教えて頂き初心者でも立てることができ、とても楽しかったです！
50ドルで写真も購入致しました。
とてもいい記念です！

I saw whales. There were mostly large whales with spouts and tails, and I saw a pod of 2 to 3 whales about 4 to 5 times. I couldn't see the baby whales with the naked eye, but it was still a valuable experience.

With lunch included, I felt full both in my stomach and heart.

クジラ見えました。潮吹きと尾びれ大きなクジラばかりでしたが、2～3頭の群れのクジラを4～5回、赤ちゃんクジラは肉眼では見えませんでしたが。とでも貴重な体験をしました。

ランチ付きでお腹も心もいっぱいになりました。

Among the many dinner shows, I participated in this one, which is easily accessible from Waikiki! The course starts before sunset, and we begin with the meal. There aren't too many dishes, but it's not a problem. Alcohol is also available at the bar. The view during sunset is simply stunning. After the sun sets, the main show begins. The program is composed of captivating performances that are neither too short nor too long. The final fire dance is breathtaking! It was a program worth participating in.

数あるショーディナーの中から、ワイキキからアクセスも良いこちらのディナーに参加しました！
夕暮れ前からのコースで、最初に食事を頂きます。品数は多くはありませんが、困るほどでは無いです。
バーではアルコールも提供されています。
なんといっても夕暮れ時の景色が素晴らしい。
日が落ちてからショーの本番。
短すぎず長すぎず観るものを魅了するプログラムで構成されてます。
最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻の一言！参加する価値アリのプラグラムでした。

I participated at the beginning of February. I had heard that it would be cold on the sea, but although there was some wind, it wasn't that cold. The boat rocked a bit, but it wasn't enough to make me feel seasick, and my mother, who is in her 80s, was very happy. The crew also asked about drinks and made the experience enjoyable. I would like to participate again.

２月始めに参加しました。海の上は、寒いと聞いていましたが、風はありましたが、それほど寒くなかった。船も揺れましたが、酔うほどではなく、８０台の母もたいへん喜んでくれました。
乗員の方も、飲み物などを聞いてくれて、楽しく乗れました。
また、参加したいです。

There were relatively many foreigners, and the atmosphere was very nice. At first, I thought it looked more like a raft than the ship I had imagined, but the music and scenery were amazing. The system for getting drinks was self-service, but I was able to drink to my satisfaction. The captain found the dolphins and took us close to see a large group of them. The sunset was also incredibly beautiful, and I was moved. I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

比較的外人さんが多く、とても雰囲気も良かったです。初めは、想像していた船とは違ってイカダ？みたいだなぁと思いましたが音楽も景色も最高でした。お酒も自分で取りに行く制度でしたが、満足のいくほど飲めました。また、船長さんがイルカの場所を見つけて近づいて行ってくださり大群が見れました。夕日もとても綺麗に見えて感動しました。またハワイに行ったらぜひ参加したいです。

The instructor was a local and made a great effort to speak Japanese, which was very easy to understand. Last year's experience was so much fun, and I had the opportunity to surf again this year in Hawaii, which was just as enjoyable. The land training ended quickly, and the instructor helped me stop the board on the water, which was great for practicing standing up. I even saw a rainbow while riding the waves.

先生は、現地の方ですが頑張って日本語を話してくださりとてもわかりやすかったです。去年の体験がすごく楽しく、今年のハワイでもサーフィンの体験をさせていただきましたがとにかく楽しかったです。陸トレはすぐに終わり、水上で先生がボードをとめてくださり、立つ練習をしたのがとても良かったです。波に乗りながら虹も見えました。

I was able to see colorful fish, sea turtles, and sharks! I was moved to see the beautiful ocean. As I leaned forward and gazed out the window, I was occasionally surprised by small fish darting right in front of the window, which made for a fun experience.

カラフルな魚や、ウミガメ、サメを見ることができました！キレイな海を見ることができて感動でした。身を乗り出して窓の外を見つめていると、たまに小さな魚が窓のすぐ近く（目の前）をちょこちょこと横切って驚かされたり、楽しい体験でした。

There were many comments saying that there were hardly any Japanese people, but when I participated, there were a few groups. I was the only one attending alone, so it felt lonely. The Japanese couple nearby seemed to speak English and looked like they were having a great time with the foreigners, which made me envious. The sunset from the boat was incredibly beautiful and became a great memory on the last day! But I think I don't want to go alone next time, haha.

日本人がほとんどいないというコメントが多かったんですが、私が参加した時は何組かいました。
1人参加が私だけでしたのでやっぱり寂しかったです。近くにいた日本人夫婦は英語が話せたようで外国の方たちとすごく楽しそうでうらやましかったです。
船からのサンセットはすごく綺麗で最終日にいい思い出になりました！
けど次は1人は嫌だと思いました笑

We started with a photo shoot, then boarding, followed by a buffet-style meal, and finally, we set sail. Within about an hour and a half, we encountered multiple whales. However, it seems that seeing whales breach is quite rare. Even so, just being able to see their dorsal fins and flippers up close was exciting! If you let your excitement take over and talk to the international guests, it can lead to great cultural exchanges! I did feel a bit seasick, but overall, I was very satisfied.

写真撮影→乗船→食事(ビュッフェスタイル)→出港の順でスタート。1時間半程度で複数回、クジラに出会えました。ただ、クジラが跳ねるような仕草は滅多に見れないそうです。それでも近くで背びれとヒレを見ることができるだけでテンション上がります！テンションに任せて外国の皆様に話しかけると良い異文化交流にも！船酔いしちゃって辛かったですが、それでも満足度高かったです。

Thank you very much! I had a great time! Although I can't speak English at all, there were no issues with the lesson.

ありがとうございました！とっても楽しかったです＼(^-^)／英語は全く話せませんが、レッスンに問題なかったです。

You can easily ride it since it uses a large board. It might be a bit lacking for those who are not beginners. The waves are gentle and it's a place where you can touch the bottom, so you can practice with peace of mind. By the way, it was a one-on-one lesson.

特大ボードを使うので誰でも簡単に乗れます。
初心者以外には物足りないかも。
波も穏やかで足がつく場所なので、安心して練習できます。
因みにマンツーマン講義でした。

Best entertainment in all of Oahu! We might even go back before we fly back to California it was that good! Impeccable 5 star service, great food and entertainment was top notch. #1 Choice in Waikiki. Don't miss out on the best show! We came on my birthday and we arrived late so we were very stressed that we missed all of the pre show stuff but the staff was prepared for us and managed to accommodate us anyways. The theatre is beautiful and everything from the dining to the stage and theatrical to the singers, dancers and outfits was very high quality. We would definitely recommend this as a top choice for anyone visiting Oahu on vacation!

My husband and I elected for the Appetizer Cruise option on the Fireworks night (Friday). The Majestic was a solid, stable boat with seating and standing / inside and outside options. Additional drinks were reasonably priced and the buffet appetizers were tasty. The evening entertainers (two musicians and a Hula dancer) were terrific.

Given that this cruise is only on Fridays I booked it from home before leaving, which also gave us something to look forward to in advance, thiugh later learned that some folks were able to secure a spot a few days before. For the price, thus is MUST! I will forever remember watching the fireworks from the ocean with the backdrop of Waikiki hotels all aglow....

We were able to see whales several times! So, I am satisfied.

However, on this day, the waves were quite rough, and about half of the passengers on board were vomiting due to seasickness, which was quite a scene. Fortunately, my family all took motion sickness medication before boarding, so we managed to avoid getting sick, but the rocking was enough to make anyone anxious, even with the medication.

While it's understandable since we are dealing with nature, during the two and a half hours of the trip, those who got sick were not able to enjoy the whales at all. It was noted that the Majestic is less prone to rocking, but depending on the weather, it can still be quite bumpy. Therefore, I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication before going.

数回クジラ見えました！ですので満足です。


しかしこの日はかなり揺れが凄く、乗船した方の約半数の方々が船酔いで嘔吐されており大変な様子でした。
幸いにもうちの家族は全員乗船前に酔い止めを服用していた為、酔わずに済みましたが服用していても不安になるほどの揺れでした。

自然が相手ですので仕方ないとはいえ、乗船時間2時間半の間、酔われた方々はクジラどころではない様子でした。
マジェスティック号は揺れにくいと記載されていましたが、天候によってはかなり揺れます。
ですので、しっかりと酔い止めを服用されていくことをお勧めします。

I wanted to surprise someone with skydiving, but our schedules didn't match, so we went with this instead. There wasn't the thrill of twisting and turning, but it seemed just right since my companion felt some fear. It really made me realize how vast Hawaii is, and seeing Hawaii from above was exceptional!

スカイダイビングをサプライズプレゼントしたかったのですが予定があわずこちらにしました。蛇行したりのスリル感はなかったですが同行者は怖さも感じていたようなのでちょうどよかったみたいです。こんなにもハワイって大きいんだと感じさせられるほどじっくり周遊してくださって上から見るハワイも格別でした！

We purchased Green Room tickets and the whole experience was wonderful. We were met at a special entrance door by friendly staff and were directed to the back stage area for a tour there. The tour host was a very nice fellow who showed us the entire back stage set up with props, costumes, and lots of other interesting equipment.

We then met Katy Perry (very hot) in the Green Room for champagne and snacks prior to the mean. It was a large First Class room where we spoke to other guests and relaxed with drinks before dinner.

We then proceeded to have dinner and wine right in front of the stage. The lobster and steak dinner was super. Again wonderful service.

The Rock-A-Hula Dinner Show was very enjoyable, especially at the best seats in the house! Elvis was quite good. Katy Perry was even better. Katy looks so much like the real singer it was amazing. The dancers and singers surrounding them were beautiful and wonderful as well.

Then Michael Jackson rocked the house. Of course the dancers with Michael Jackson were amazing as well. Everyone rocked along with them.

The Fire Dancing was also so well done as was the great Hawaiian theme dancing. All the dances were so well choreographed and performed that it was indeed breathtaking.

Everyone had a great time at this wonderful, classy, and professional show. We will go next time again when we are in Hawaii !!! Very recommended to see!!!

This was my second time participating, and it was just as great as before. There was music playing on the boat, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Plus, there was an all-you-can-drink option. I highly recommend it. By the way, this is the same boat that the members were on in the final episodes of the Hawaii season of Terrace House.

2度目の参加でしたが、相変わらずよかったです。船では音楽も流れていて、とても雰囲気がいいです。更にはお酒も飲み放題。
とてもおすすめです。
ちなみにテラハのハワイ編終盤で、メンバーが乗ってたやつです。

I participated in the monitor tour this time, and it was a wonderful experience; I'm really glad I joined! The backstage tour before the show was exciting as we got to see behind the scenes that we usually can't access! They even took photos for us.
The meal was luxurious and very satisfying!
And the show featured the dancers' energetic performances, which were truly impressive!! From hula to impersonation shows, I had a great time, and the time flew by.
I went on the last day of my stay in Waikiki, and it was a fitting way to spend my final night. Thank you very much.

今回モニターツアーで参加をしましたがとても良い経験ができ、本当に参加して良かったです！ショー前のバックツアーでは普段は見られない裏側を見られてわくわく！写真も撮ってくださいました。
お食事も豪華で大満足！
そしてショーはダンサーの皆様のエネルギッシュなパフォーマンスが圧巻でした！！フラからモノマネショーまで、とても楽しめてあっという間の時間でした。
ワイキキ滞在日の最終日に行きましたが最後の夜にふさわしい時間を過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

My boyfriend and I went to this event on the first day of our trip. Our coach is so nice and accommodating. The oxygen tank is heavy and I couldn't really carry it. So he actually carried it for me and helped me wear it when I was in water so it didn't feel heavy haha.
For the next half an hour, we dived around and saw so many small, tropical fishes swimming around us. We saw coral reefs and even a starfish.
It was our first time scuba diving, and our coach is so patient and nice and explained the procedures and things to keep in mind to us in detail. He also answered all the questions I had. He took photos and videos of us scuba diving.
Overall, it was such an amazing experience!

When you're in a couple, each person gets their own instructor, so you receive thorough guidance, but you end up splitting up. You can get close at some points to take photos, which you can purchase later. They didn't pressure you to buy anything.

カップルだと一人一人に先生が付いてくれるので、しっかりと教えてもらえる反面、別行動になる。
途中で近づいて写真を撮ってもらえるが、あとで購入できるようだ。無理に売りつけてくる事はなかった。

We were very happy with our experience day.The whole trip was fab,from the food to seeing the whales,such majestic creatures.Would highly recommend anyone to do this trip.Youll love it

As the reviews mentioned, there were many international guests, and only two groups of Japanese people, including us. This made it feel less like being away from home, and everyone was friendly and cheerful. There are restrooms available, but they are the typical ones found on boats. I thought we would only be able to see the sunset, but to my surprise, we encountered a whale!!! As soon as we spotted it, the captain quickly changed our course towards the whale, and we were able to see it multiple times! Drinks were served promptly, and it felt great to see Waikiki from the sea♪

クチコミ通り、海外の方が多く、日本人は私たち含め２組だけでした。
それではアウェイ感はなく、皆様フレンドリーでわきあいあい。
トイレはありますが、よくある船のトイレです。
夕日を観られるだけかと思いきや、まさかのクジラに遭遇！！！しかも見つけた瞬間キャプテンはすぐに航路をクジラへと変えてくださり、何度も見ることができました！
ドリンクもすぐに提供してくださいますし、ワイキキを海から見るのもまた良い気分でした♪

Third Mai Tai cruise and once again did not disappoint. First was the Sunset in 2016, Fireworks 2017 and Fireworks again 2018 !! Had a great time, drinks were fabulous as were the staff... See you again in 2019 !!!!

My first sunset catamaran experience. The views of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the horizon from the boat were all amazing! We even happened to see a whale, and everyone got excited pointing it out. The sunset was incredibly beautiful. However, the $24 for the photo taken before boarding the boat felt a bit pricey... I didn't buy it.

初めてのサンセットカタマラン。船上から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッド、水平線。どれも最高でした！偶然にもクジラにも出会えて他の方たちとあっちだこっちだと盛り上がりました。サンセットは最高にキレイでした。 ただ、船に乗る前に撮ってくれた写真が$24はちと高いかな。。買いませんでした。

Epic is the word that comes to mind. We had the best time. It was more than we had anticipated. We have lived here for 11 years and this was our first time sailing with the Star Of Honolulu. The 5 Star dinner cruise with Live Jazz made our 14th anniversary that much more special. From the warm reception, meeting and greeting the Captain, the Ono pupu’s to the amazing 7 course meal and top notched entertainment we felt like royalty. You can’t beat the amazing sunset and whale sightings either. If you are looking to celebrate or just relax and take in the sights the Star Of Honolulu is definitely the thing to do.
We had a great and memorable time from start to finish. Mahalo Star Of Honolulu .
