All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

My first catamaran experience. I was a bit nervous because I didn't understand all the instructions in English, but the staff were all lively and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

We encountered a pod of dolphins right after setting sail! Everyone was super excited! After a while, we went snorkeling offshore. With the current, I panicked a bit since I can't swim, but the staff came right away and helped me back to the boat. She was a woman, but very reliable!

After that, we spotted 2 or 3 sea turtles lingering nearby, and everyone was excited again! The rest of the voyage was stable, and we enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. It was a really fun time.

初めてのカタマラン。
注意事項などすべて英語でよくわからず、ちょっとドキドキでしたが、スタッフはみな元気で雰囲気はとても良かったです。
出航してすぐイルカの群れに遭遇！全員大興奮！
しばらく走ったあと、沖でシュノーケリング。
潮の流れもあり、泳げない私はプチパニックでしたが、スタッフがすぐに来てくれ、船まで連れて行ってくれました。女性ですが、とても頼もしかった！
その後、ウミガメも2～3匹すぐそばにしばらくとどまっていて、みんなまたまた大興奮！
その後の航海も安定していて、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの景色を沖から眺め、とても楽しい時間でした。

My sister and I booked this excursion with the hopes of seeing turtles. Not only did we see them we swam with them. There were at least 6 of them in the area. The crew, Kevin, Ryan and Felipe were awesome. This was the best adventure with a great price. I would highly recommendations this.

The structure of the show and the performers are slightly different each time, so I participate every time I go to Hawaii. Influenced by the lively spirit of the American people, I can't help but cheer in a way I never do in Japan, and that has become a fun memory as well. This time, I wonder if Michael's singing was a bit hard to hear?

ショーの構成や出演者も毎回微妙に違うのでハワイに行くたびに参加しています。
アメリカの人たちのノリの良さに影響されて
ついついこちらまで　日本ではあげたことのないような歓声をあげてしまいますが
それもまた楽しい思い出になってます。
今回のマイケルは歌が聞こえにくかったかな？

The Mai Tai Catamaran Cruise was my second experience. The departure location is on the beach between the Sheraton Waikiki and Halekulani, so it was convenient for me since I was staying at the Sheraton. The staff is cheerful, and it's a fun cruise!

マイタイ カタマランクルーズは2回目の体験でした。
出航場所がシェラトンワイキキとハレクラニの間のビーチなので、シェラトンに宿泊している私には便利です。
スタッフも明るく楽しいクルーズですよ。

This was our second time on this cruise. The staff is great and the scenery is gorgeous! Highly recommend,

A pleasant sea breeze and a speeding yacht.
We’re feeling tipsy with Mai Tais.
The two beautiful women next to us synchronize with our toast.
We hit it off and enjoy a fun dinner together.
Italian food at Waikiki Beach.
The best night until late into the evening.
Thank you.

心地よい海風をうけ、疾るヨット。
マイタイでほろ酔いかげんな僕ら。
カンパイの音頭に隣りの美人二人連れがシンクロ。
意気投合して、楽しい夕食を伴に。
ワイキキビーチのイタリアン。
夜が更けるまで最高の夜。
ありがとう。

We participated as three generations of our family. The sunset was very beautiful, and the Mai Tai was delicious! My clothes got a little wet from the splashes, but that's also a nice memory.

親子三世代で参加しました。夕日がとても綺麗で、マイタイも美味しかった〜。水しぶきで服も少し濡れたけど、それもいい思い出。

I was initially anxious about canoeing for the first time, including with my older relatives, but once I got on, it was so much fun! I want to do it again! (o^^o)

年配の親戚を含め、初めてのカヌーで最初は不安でしたが、乗ってみるととても楽しかったです！もう一度したいです(o^^o)

I had the most moving moments during this trip. It's not often in life that you experience something that makes you want to cry just from seeing the scenery. I would definitely recommend it to others, and if I have the chance to come back to Waikiki, I will make sure to include it in my schedule.

今回の旅行の中で、最も感動する時間を得る事が出来ました。景色を見て泣きそうになることなど、人生の内でそうそう体験出来るものではありません。他の人にも進めると同時にまたワイキキに来ることがあれば、必ずスケジュールに入れたいと思います。

The hospitality from everyone at the luau was outstanding! I was surprised by the bright and cheerful service. It was an incredibly fun time. Also, it was my first experience with a whole roasted pig. And once I tried it, it was exquisite; I've never had such delicious pork before. The show exceeded all my expectations and was incredibly lively. It's also convenient to be able to see it in Waikiki.

フラの皆さん、ホスピタリティ高過ぎ！　明るく楽しいおもてなしでビックリです。最高に楽しい時間でした。それから、ブタの丸焼きも初めての経験。しかも食べてみれば絶品で、こんなに美味しいブタを食べたのは初めてです。ショーも期待をはるかに上回る盛り上がりでした。ワイキキ内で見られるのも便利ですね。

I'm glad I was able to see the sunken ships and airplanes, as well as many fish and sea turtles. Since the waves can be strong, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to bring motion sickness medication.

沈められた船や飛行機、たくさんの魚や海亀を見ることができて良かったです。
揺れが強いので、船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めを持参するといいと思います。

I participate every time I travel to Hawaii. This time, I joined on the first day of my arrival. The waves were a bit high, and it swayed like an attraction, but everyone was fine! Haha. We drank and drank, and our spirits were at their peak. Cheers to the healing journey that starts today!

毎回、ハワイ渡航中に参加します。今回は、到着日初日に参加。ちょっと波が高くて、アトラクション的に揺れたけれど、みんなへっちゃら！笑。飲んで飲んで、気分は最高潮。今日から始まる癒しの旅に乾杯！

I was worried that the strong winds from the typhoon would cause the trip to be canceled, but I’m glad we were able to set sail as planned. I participated with three friends, and it was their first experience, while I had been before. We saw three turtles and intentionally sat in a spot to get splashed by the waves, enjoying the beautiful blue sea and sky. My friends were very happy, which made me glad as well. Personally, I prefer the aggressive daytime experience of getting splashed over the quiet drifting at sunset. I want to participate again next time!

台風のせいで風が強く、中止になるかと不安でしたが、予定通り出帆してもらえてよかったです。
友人3人で参加し、私以外は初体験。亀が3匹見られましたし、わざと波をかぶる席に座り、青い海と空を満喫しました。友人もとても喜んでくれたので、よかったです。
個人的には、静かに漂うサンセットより、波しぶきを浴びるアグレッシブな日中の方が好きです。次回もまた参加したいです！

I ride this yacht almost every time.

This time, there was wind but the waves were calm, with only the right edge at the front getting splashed, so it was a bit lacking in excitement. However, I saw two turtles and there were flying fish jumping around, which made me finally feel like I had arrived in Hawaii. I'm glad my companions enjoyed it too.

This was about my sixth time, but for the first time, there was a Japanese staff member who spoke fluent Japanese, so it was great to learn various things from them.

ほぼ毎回このヨットに乗っています。

今回は、風はあるけど波が穏やかで、先頭の右端しか波がかからず、揺れもあまりなく、ちょっと物足りなかったですが、
亀も二匹見られたし、トビウオみたいなのも跳ねてましたし、
これに乗って、ようやくハワイに来た感じがしました。
同行者も気にいってくれたので良かったです。

今回で6回目くらいですが、初めて日本語ぺらぺらの日系人スタッフさんがいましたので、色々教えてもらえて良かったです。

Crew were outstanding. Friendly and funny. The experience was worth triple what we paid and would have done again if we had more time. Highly recommend to anyone!!

If you are prone to seasickness, you might be a little worried. The atmosphere was very nice, and I felt it was worth participating. The drinks were sufficient. The meeting place was hard to find.

船酔いがある方は 少し心配かなとも おもいます。雰囲気はとても良く 参加して良かったと思いました。ドリンクだけで 充分でした。集合場所が わかりにくい。

Definetly do the 5 star....it was my wife's 40th Birthday and we had a great meal, beautiful views! Awesome sunset! GREAT music....the staff was wonderful and the setting was very romantic. I would do it again!!!

We had grreat fun!! The crew was super helpful and made the snorkeling easy! We saw several turtles!

As mentioned in other people's experiences, the claim that this is "the only dinner cruise in Hawaii that can take you from Waikiki to offshore Diamond Head" was false. It followed the same route as Star of Honolulu and turned back well before reaching Diamond Head. It may have been due to high waves on the day, but there was no explanation provided. I had explained to other first-time visitors to Hawaii that we would go to offshore Diamond Head... The food was delicious. It was also nice that it wasn't as large as Star of Honolulu and had fewer people.

他の方の体験談にも記載がありましたが、「ワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまで行くことができるハワイ唯一のディナークルーズ」というのは嘘でした。スターオフホノルルと同じコースを辿り、ダイアモンドヘッドのはるか手前で折り返し。当日は波が高かったのでそうなったかもしれませんが、その説明は無し。他の初ハワイの人たちに、「ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖まで行く」と説明したのに・・・。食事は美味しかったです。スターオフホノルルほど大きくなく人が少ないということも良かったです。

My wife and I booked this during our honeymoon and definitely enjoyed ourselves! The food was delicious, the view was spectacular and gave us plenty of picture opportunities at sunset on the back of the ship! We definitely enjoyed the on board entertainment with the hula dancers, the gentleman on the ukelele, solo vocalist, pianist and they even had a saxophone player who dabbled in the art of the jazz flute! What a great night out!!

This time, it was my third participation in two years. I always enjoy the wonderful show that has been enhanced each time. It's not just a simple impersonation show; I am moved by the high quality every time. I have seen similar shows in Las Vegas, but this one does not fall short at all. However, I felt that there were fewer performers this time and that the showtime was a bit shorter.

今回、２年ぶり３回目の参加でした。毎回ショーアップされた素晴らしいショーを楽しんでおります．単なる物まねショーにとどまらずそのクオリティーの高さには毎回感動しております。
同様のショーをラスベガスでも見たことがありますが決して見劣りしておりません、但し今回は
出演者も少なくショータイムも少し短かった様な気が致しました。

This was so much fun and our hosts amazing, Ryan and Felipe. Thank you so much for a great start to our honey moon.

I applied for the VIP dinner and cocktail show after seeing it featured in "In Love with Hawaii 2." I attended with my 75-year-old mother. The food was decent, but it seemed like there was too much for my mother. She also complained about the quick removal of the dishes (it seemed like the woman next to us was saying something similar). However, the show itself was absolutely wonderful, and my mother was very happy. The impersonation show was great, and the fire dance was very impressive. It was also a nice touch to be able to take a photo together on the way out. I would like to visit again if the opportunity arises, but next time, I think it would be better to have dinner elsewhere before attending.

ハワイに恋して2で紹介されて気になっていた所、VIPディナー&カクテルショーのモニター募集があったので申込みしました。75歳の母との参加です。食事の味はまあまあでしたが、母には量が多かったようでした。また、食事を下げるのが早いと不満をこぼしていました。(隣の女性もそのような話をしていたようです)ただ、ショーの内容はとても素晴らしく、母もとても喜んでいました。そっくりさんのショーもそうですが、ファイヤーダンスとても迫力がありました。帰りに一緒に写真を撮ってもらえるのも嬉しいサービスです。機会があればまた伺いたいと思いますが、その時は食事は他でしてきてからの参加でいいかなと思います。

We participated as a couple. Since check-in was at the beach in front of the hotel, there wasn't a check-in counter; instead, there was a staff member under a parasol, which mixed in with other beachgoers and was a bit confusing (laughs). I thought this was quite typical of being overseas. We moved to a boat in front of the Halekulani Hotel to board.

Everyone else was from English-speaking countries. The crew spoke only in English, and since I had some snorkeling experience, I managed to keep up. The snorkeling lasted quite a while, about an hour. There was an explanation in English on how to put on the gear, and we were given life jackets and goggles (no fins, but that was fine). Equipped with the snorkeling set, we headed into the sea!! When I swam along with the crew, there were sea turtles!!! I was thrilled to encounter four of them! The seawater was a bit murky, so it was hard to see the fish, but I still had a great time. After that, we returned to the boat for sailing. It was an exhilarating moment with the large sail unfurled, creating a sense of speed. You can buy water and beer on the boat, so no need to worry about drinks! (Cash is better.) There was also a restroom on board. Since sailing can be quite bumpy for a long time, those prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication. It was a great activity to enjoy the waters of Waikiki in a short amount of time!!

夫婦で参加しました。
ホテルの前のビーチでチェックインという事だったので、チェックインカウンター的なものはなく、パラソルの下に担当のお姉さんが居て他の海水浴客のパラソルと混ざり困惑（笑）これも海外っぽいなぁなんて思いました。
ハレクラニホテルの前にある船に移動して乗船。

私達以外は全員英語圏の方だった。
船員も終始英語で、スノーケル経験者だったのでなんとかついていけたって感じ。
スノーケルは長めで、1時間くらい。英語での装着の説明もあり、ライフジャケットと水中メガネを渡されます。（フィンは無し。無くても大丈夫でした。）
スノーケルセットを装備していざ、海へ！！
船員の人に泳いでついて行くと…そこには海ガメが！！！その後も4匹も出会えて感動でした！少し海水が濁っていたので魚は見えにくかったですが、楽しめました。その後、船に戻ってセイリング。大きな帆を広げてスピード感とスリリングなひと時でした。お水やビールなども船上で買えるので飲み物の心配なし！（現金の方が良い）トイレも船内にありました。セイリングは割と長い時間揺れるので船酔いする人は酔い止めが必要です。
ワイキキの海を短時間で楽しめる良いアクテビティでした！！

Straight off Waikiki beach - fun crew. We had dolphins frolicking off our bow and escorting us halfway to Diamond Head then saw plenty of turtles when we snorkeled.

I was in a beginner group lesson with two foreigners, and during the practical session, we communicated in English while watching a video. The tasks are simple, so I think it's manageable. If you have experience with skiing or snowboarding, you'll probably find it easy to stand up.

Let's enjoy the waves in this beautiful natural setting, the birthplace of surfing!

They are taking continuous photos of us while surfing, so don't let your guard down!

初心者グループレッスンで外人2名と私　ビデオを観て実技中は英語　やることは簡単なのでまあわかります
スキーやスノボの経験者なら簡単に立てると思います
あとはサーフィン発祥の地できれいな自然の中波を楽しみましょう！

サーフィン中の連続写真を撮ってくれているので気を抜かないでw

After entering, you can enjoy cocktails, chips, and fruits in the pre-show area. Once you enter the show venue, the meal will begin, followed by the show. The dancers make surprising entrances from the ceiling. I recognized the shows of Presley and Michael, but unfortunately, I didn't know the songs in Katy's show. The hula show was also more impressive and had more performers than the one on the ship.
The meal is not much different from the dinner on the ship. The content of the show is better here, so if you're not particularly interested in the sunset, I recommend this option.

入場後、前室でカクテルとチップとフルーツがいただけます。ショーの会場に入場後、食事が始まります。その後、ショーが始まります。ダンサーが天井から登場したり、意表を突かれます。プレスリーとマイケルのショーはわかりますが、ケイティーのショーは残念ながら曲がわかりませんでした。フラのショーも船上で行っているものよりも人数が多く迫力のあるものでした。
食事の内容は、船上のディナーと大差はありません。ショーの内容はこちらのほうが上で、サンセットに興味が強くなければこちらのほうをお勧めします。

I was worried that the clouds would obstruct the sunset, but I was able to see the sun setting on the horizon after all. The atmosphere was fantastic, and I felt very relaxed. I would love to ride again.

雲が多く夕陽か見えるか心配でしたが、何とか水平線に沈む夕陽が見えました。
雰囲気は最高で、とても癒されました。
また乗りたいと思います。

Very relaxing. Beautiful sunset, my husband & I enjoyed it very much!

I was anxious about my first trip to Hawaii, especially since the guide couldn't speak Japanese, but I had no problems and enjoyed myself completely! The night view and fireworks were wonderful! Since it can be a bit chilly, it's definitely a good idea to bring a jacket!

初めてのハワイで不安、しかもガイドさんは日本語が話せない…と不安でしたが全く問題無く楽しめました！夜景に花火素晴らしかったです！
肌寒いので必ずアウター持っていくといいです！
