All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

This excursion was our first snorkeling excursion in the Pacific Ocean, and it was our first excursion during our trip to O'ahu. The whole experience was outstanding. Veltra called us the day before to confirm the reservation and advise us where to meet the van and when. The driver from Kaimana Tours arrived within the allowed time period, and he was courteous and informative. He told us exactly what to expect when we arrived--including paying the $7.50 park admission fee (per person) completing the conservation education presentation (10-15 minutes, tops), and meeting him afterward (where and when). He passed around a chart of the types of sea life we would see in the bay. The view was breath-taking. The beach was beautiful. The staff were helpful and friendly. The snorkeling was great. Lifeguards were attentive--even using amplified sound at one point to caution some poor swimmers that they needed to move closer to the beach. Afterward, the driver met us when and where he had told us, and we were all on our way back to our hotels.

This is my second time participating, following last year. On the day of the event, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so being at the front of the boat felt like an attraction and was fun. I think it's a good idea to wear a swimsuit under your T-shirt since you'll get splashed with water. Of course, if you don't want to get wet, you can sit in the middle of the boat and be fine.

The view of Waikiki Beach from the ocean was lovely! I will participate again when I go to Hawaii!

昨年に引き続き、二度目の参加です。
当日は風が強くて、波が高かったので、船の先端にいると、アトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。水しぶきを浴びるので、Tシャツの下に水着を 着ていると良いと思います。もちろん、濡れたくない人は、船の真ん中の椅子に座っていれば、大丈夫です。
海側から見たワイキキビーチは素敵でした！
またハワイに行ったら、参加します！

The Elvis impersonator was amazing. The entertainment was so much fun, and I had a great time even by myself. I enjoyed Hawaii with the aloha hula dance and fire dance.

エルビスのそっくりさん最高でした。エンターテイメントがとても楽しく1人でも楽しい時間を過ごせました。
アロハなフラダンス・ファィアーダンスでハワイを堪能しました。

The beach where you can see the fireworks is enough. It's cold, the boarding time is unnecessarily long, and the fireworks end in an instant. The food was nothing special either. That's how I felt. The only thing that remains is a sense of being overcharged. I won't ride again.

花火が見える海岸で充分です。
寒いし、乗船時間がムダに長いし、
花火は一瞬で終わるし。
料理も別に。という感じでした。
割高感だけが残りました。
二度と乗らない。

My wife and I were recently transferred from the mainland and celebrated our 41st Anniversary here in Honolulu without our family, So we thought a seven course meal sunset dinner meal cruise with Jazz entertainment would an ideal way to celebrate our weddding anniversary. Coincidentally we were sitted next to another couple from Chicago who just renewed their wedding vows after 41 years of marriage also and found a lot in common with them (same age of children and grandchildren and pathway in life), thus truly enjoyed each company - for they were traveling by themselves as well. The Captain, the crew were great (especially Foster our server), the service was fantastic, and the food was great. And of course the entertainment and the ambiance with sunset backdrop and Waikiki ocean shore scenery made it memorable.

Here's what you can expect from Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment / Three Star Steak and Lobster Dinner with Jazz entertainers.

Coast over the calm water of Waikiki aboard the most popular dinner cruise in Hawaii, where you
will be treated to live music, top dining and spectacular views.

Upon arrival at Aloha Tower Pier, you will be guided to the top deck, where the captain and crew are waiting to treat you to a Hawaiian Belini toast and seasonal appetizers. A sophisticated way to start off an elegant evening at sea.
7-Course Dinner

Served in the luxurious top-deck Super Nova room, this premium French-style dinner menu features only the best seasonal ingredients picked and prepared by expert chefs. Maine lobster and top-quality beef tenderloin are sure to be highlights of the meal.

Sunset

As the final moments of daylight fade over the Pacific horizon, the Super Nova room fills with warm light. Views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach

I participated in the evening of the day I arrived, and I felt like I was fully enjoying Hawaii from the very first day. The background music playing on the ship was also fantastic, creating a great atmosphere. I think it's unbeatable to enjoy unlimited Mai Tais while taking in the sunset at this price. I could join this every time I visit Hawaii. However, those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious...

到着した日の夕方に参加したのですが、初日からハワイと満喫した気分になれました。
船内に流れてるバックミュージックも最高で、ムード満点です。
このお値段で、マイタイ飲み放題でサンセットを満喫出来るのは申し分ないと思います。
ハワイに行くたびに参加してもいいくらいです。
ただし、船酔いされる方はご注意を。。。

The cruise lasted longer than expected, and I was able to enjoy the sunset and Oahu from various angles. The crew was very friendly. I would like to participate again.

予想よりクルーズ時間も長く、夕日やオアフ島をいろいろな角度から楽しむことができました。クルーの方もとてもフレンドリー。
また参加したいです。

We loved this cruise! It was so much fun, the drinks were great & kept coming. Definitely recommend it.

The children had a great time splashing in the water and squealing with joy. It might not be suitable for those who get seasick, but I recommend it for those who don't have any worries.

水しぶきを浴びながら、キャーキャー言って、子供達は凄く楽しんでくれました。
船酔いする方には向かないかもしれませんが、心配ない方にはオススメです。

I had previously enjoyed tropical fish while riding a submarine, but this time the weather was bad the day before, and the seawater was murky, which was a bit disappointing. However, I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. Since it was at Hilton, the access was also good, which is a plus.

以前にも潜水艦に乗ってトロピカルフィッシュを楽しんだんですが、今回は前日の天気が悪く海水が濁っており、ちょっと残念でした。ただ天気さえよければ十分楽しめると思います。ヒルトン拍だったのでアクセスもよくこの点はＧｏｏｄ

The sight of the submarine emerging from the surface of the sea was impressive. Also, the guide was very entertaining. I think those who can understand English will enjoy it even more.

潜水艦が海面に出てくるところは迫力がありました。また、ガイドの方がとてもおもしろかったです。英語が聞き取れる方はより楽しめると思います。

I participated in a Japanese guided tour on a premium boat. Everything, from safety instructions to the guide, was in Japanese, so my aunt, who doesn't speak English, was able to enjoy it as well.

Due to the lack of coral reefs in the waters off the coast of Oahu, we couldn't see beautiful underwater scenery or vibrant tropical fish, but I was satisfied to see the wild fish gathered around the sunken reef up close.

プレミアム船の日本語ガイドツアーに参加しました。
安全の注意からガイドまですべて日本語でやってくれるので、英語ができない叔母でも楽しめました。

オアフ島沖の海底は珊瑚礁が少ないため、美しい海底も鮮やかな熱帯魚も見られませんでしたが、沈められた魚礁に集まった野生？の魚の様子を間近に見れて満足です。

It is a must do in Waikiki, great crew and sail, we had a beautiful night on the ocean with beautiful fireworks from Hilton village.

You can enjoy a tribute show at Rock-a-Hula in Waikiki! While the Polynesian tours are more famous, it's located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it easy to plan if you're staying in Waikiki since you can walk there! This time, we attended the premium cocktail show, and we had a great time from our seats on the second floor. If you want to interact with the cast, I recommend the dining option on the first floor, where the cast comes down from the stage to give out gifts, take photos, and perform right in front of you!

ワイキキでモノマネショーが観れるロックアフラ！ポリネシアンツアーとかのが有名ですが、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階にありワイキキ宿泊なら徒歩で行けるので予定が組易いです！
今回はプレミアムカクテルショーでしたが、2階正面席で十分楽しめました。
キャストの方と触れ合いたいなら食事付きの1階席がいいと思います。キャストの方がステージから降りてきてプレゼントや写真、パフォーマンスを目の前でしてくれます！

The lobster was packed with meat and delicious!
The buffet menu was limited, and drinks were charged separately, which was disappointing.
However, if you're thinking of it as a light experience for a travel memory, it might be fine.

As for the dress code, many Westerners were in casual styles like T-shirts, shorts, and flip-flops.
If you dress too formally, you'll definitely stand out.
It seemed just right to go with a collared shirt (polo shirts are fine), long pants (jeans are acceptable), and shoes (sneakers are okay).

**Message from the tour company:**

There was a free drink table with coffee, tea, and water, but there were no sodas??
There was no menu on the table, and they didn't come to take orders; it seemed like you had to go to the ordering table to get guidance.

I think I didn't approach the ordering table because I assumed there would be an extra charge from the start, but it was a bit unclear.

I hope for improvements!

ロブスターが身が詰まってておいしかった！
ビュッフェメニューは少ないし、ドリンク類有料だし食事内容は残念。
でも、「旅の記念に行ってみよう」くらいの軽い感覚ならいいのでは？

ドレスコードですが、欧米人はTシャツ、短パン、ビーサンのラフスタイル多数。
決め過ぎると間違いなく浮きます。
襟付きシャツ（ポロシャツ可）、長ズボン（ジーンズ可）、靴（スニーカー可）くらいで行くのが丁度良さそうでしたよ。


※※※催行会社さんからのメッセージを読んで※※※

コーヒー、紅茶、水はフリードリンクのテーブルにありましたが、コーラ類はありませんでしたけど？？
テーブルにメニューもなかったし、そもそもオーダーを取りにも来てくれなかったし、注文するテーブルまで行かないと案内されないシステムだったのでしょうかね。

最初から別料金だと思って、オーダーするテーブルに近づかなかったからわからなかったのだと思いますが、ちょっとわかりづらいですね。

改善を期待します！

It was bad timing with President Trump's visit, but everything proceeded on schedule without any issues. The night view and fireworks were great, but the buffet on the ship was somewhat disappointing in taste. Most of the main meal was on the sweeter side, which was disappointing; the only thing that was really good was the lobster. I was satisfied with the fruits and vegetables. I was able to see the fireworks from a good spot on the deck, so I was happy with that, although the duration was short.

トランプ大統領の来島とのバッドタイミングでしたが、無事に定刻どおり進みました。夜景と花火は、良かったのですが、船内のバイキングは、いまいちの味でした。メインミールの味付けが殆ど甘めで、ガッカリでした、唯一美味しかったのは、ロブスターくらいかな〜
フルーツと、野菜等は満足はしました。
花火は、デッキの良い場所から見れましたので、満足でした。ただ、時間は短かったです。

I made a reservation after arriving on-site, and although the content was compact, I was very satisfied. It's perfect for times when you have a packed schedule and only need a minimum amount of time, like just in the morning. Even though it's not far from Waikiki, I saw so many sea turtles! There was a group of five honu as well! And the crew member looked just like Orlando Bloom, which was quite mesmerizing (laughs). I would love to participate again someday.

現地についてから予約したのですが、コンパクトな内容なのですがとても満足感はありました。
最低限の時間でいいので、予定が詰まっていて午前中だけ、、、みたいな時にぴったりかと思います。ワイキキから程遠くないところなのに、ウミガメがめちゃめちゃ沢山見れました！！5匹の群れのホヌ達もいました！
そしてクルーの方がオーランド・ブルームに激似で見とれました(笑)
またいつか参加したいです。

The buffet selection was lacking, but the cozy Hawaiian music and the fireworks in front of the Hilton added a bit of excitement.

ビュッフェ内容は物足りなかったが、小じんまりとしたハワイアンソングとヒルトン前の花火で少し盛り上がった。

It was my first time participating in a submarine tour. I saw a lot of fish, but I only spotted one sea turtle, which was less than I had hoped for. However, I was able to experience the enchanting underwater world.

初サブマリン参加でした、魚は沢山見られましたが期待していたウミガメは１匹でした。
でも、幻想的な海中は感じられました。

Everything was great! The bartender, lifeguard, deck lady Alex (I think was her name) was awesome! Great drinks and music! Thanks for a fantastic time! We will be back

This is an optional tour that departs from the beach in front of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and returns in about 1.5 hours, making it easy to join. We enjoyed a great time on a catamaran yacht that can accommodate up to 30 people, taking in views of the hotel area and Diamond Head from offshore Waikiki. A camera is a must, as you'll be able to capture some truly Hawaiian photos. The captain is a cheerful woman who really enhances the atmosphere.

シェラトンワイキキホテル前のビーチを出発し1.5時間くらいで戻れて気軽に参加できるオプショナルツアーです。30人は乗れるカタマランヨットでワイキキ沖からホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドを眺め楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。カメラは必携です、とてもハワイらしいいい写真が撮れますよ。またキャプテンは陽気な女性で雰囲気を盛り上げてくれます。

My husband and I really enjoyed this outing. The crew was laid back and friendly. We definitely saw turtles. They had snacks on board and alcohol for purchase. Easily my favorite afternoon in Waikiki. Thank you!

The weather was nice, and it was great to be able to drink alcohol. It would have been better if there were fewer people on the boat. There were too many, and it felt like we were going to bump into each other.

天気も良くて、お酒も飲めて良かったです。
もう少し船の中の人数が少ないと良かった。
多すぎて、ぶつかりそうでした。

Due to rain that evening, there was no sunset. But three of us enjoyed the dinner and live entertainment. Fortunately, we were seated at a table right in front. Our waiter, Ethan was superb! He was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Dinner was delicious! Would recommend this event.

This was my second time surfing. I looked for various options, but I think this was the cheapest. There were quite a few participants, about 12 people. There were 3 instructors. When you go to the instructors, they push you when a good wave comes. Everyone was able to ride the waves properly. However, it seemed like the women had a hard time paddling.

サーフィンは２回目でした。色々なオプショナルを探しましたが、ここが一番安かったと思います。参加人数は割と多めで１２人ほどいました。インストラクターは3人でした。インストラクターさんの元に行くといい波が来た時にプッシュしてくれます。みんなちゃんと波に乗ることができていました。ただ、女性はパドリングが大変そうでした。

I was able to stand up even as a beginner because I practiced with a slightly larger board! Aside from the person who explained things at the beginning, there was no one who spoke Japanese at the beach, but they communicated with simple words, so I didn't have any trouble. This is aimed at people who want to try surfing for fun, and I think those who want more serious instruction might want to take a separate private lesson.

少し大きめの板で練習するので初めてでも立つことが出来ました！最初に説明をしてくれる人以外、海では日本語を話せる人はいないですが、簡単な単語で話してくれるので困りませんでした。まずはサーフィンをやって楽しんでみたいという人向けで、本格的に教えてもらいたい人は別のプライベートレッスンを受けるのがいいのかなと思います。

Since I was with my mother, who is not a strong swimmer, and my 2-year-old child, I participated for the first time. It was interesting just to see the submarine surfacing while we were out on the cruise ship. Additionally, the time spent out at sea allowed us to enjoy the view of Waikiki from the ocean side, and Diamond Head looked beautiful as well, making for a pleasant little cruise. As for the diving itself... it felt like there were fewer fish than I had imagined, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking. It might be due to the season.

かなづちの母と2歳のこどもが一緒だったので、初参加しました。
クルーズ船で沖まで出て、そこに潜水艦が浮上してくる様子を見るだけでも面白いです。
そして、沖に出る時間もワイキキの景色を海側から眺められ、ダイアモンドヘッドもきれいに見えますので、ちょっとしたクルーズも楽しめます。
肝心の潜水は・・・というと・・・想像していたよりも魚が少なく、見ごたえ感は弱い印象でした。季節によるのかもしれません。

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a truly beautiful sunset. Surrounded by a fun captain and mostly non-Japanese guests, I had a wonderful time even though I don't understand much English. The boat didn't sway as much as I expected, and no one got wet at all. We stepped into the sea a few steps to board the boat, and then we were barefoot inside the boat the whole time. You can see a different view of Diamond Head too! I definitely want to join again if I have the chance!

お天気にも恵まれ、本当にきれいなサンセットを見ることができました。楽しい船長さんと、ほとんど日本人以外のお客さんに囲まれて、英語があまり分からなくてもとても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。船は思ったより揺れず、全員全く濡れませんでした。海に数歩入って階段を登って乗船、その後ずっと船内裸足です。ダイヤモンドヘッドもいつもと違う顔が見られますよ～。機会があればぜひまた参加したいです！

Great time with a great crew! Yummy cocktails, too!

It was my first catamaran tour, and there were over 40 people on the tour, but there were no other Japanese participants. Since all the instructions were in English, there were many things I didn't understand, but I didn't have any particular problems and had a great time. The Mai Tai was very delicious, and since it was all-you-can-drink, I also had some wine. The next day it rained, so I was glad it was a sunny day!

初めてのカタマランツアー、40名を越えるツアーでしたが日本人もいなく、注意事項は全て英語の為わからないこと多かったですが特に困ることはなく、楽しくすごせました。マイタイもとてもおいしく飲み放題のためワインも頂きました。翌日は雨のため晴れた日で良かったです‼️
