All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I often stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I had never seen a luau before and experienced it for the first time. The meal was a buffet with a variety of dishes, and it was delicious and filling. The luau show was also great.

There is a recommendation to arrive 10 minutes early, but it takes about 40 minutes from the start of admission to completion, and since it’s still sunny at that time, if you go too early, it can be hot and the wait time is long. I felt there was no need to rush.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにはよく泊まるのですが
ルアウは見たことがなく、初めて体験しました。
食事はビュッフェ形式でいろいろなメニューがあり
おいしくお腹いっぱいになりました。
ルアウショーも良かったです。

会場には10分前に来るように案内がありますが
入場を開始してから完了するまで40分ぐらいかかり、
まだ日も照っている時間なので早く行くと暑くて待ち時間が長いです。
急いで行く必要はないと思いました。

I participated with my mother and aunt. Since it was the day before Independence Day, it was very quiet. We were able to enjoy a graceful cruise. The windows weren't very clean, so the view from inside the boat wasn't great, but it felt really nice when we went outside.

母と叔母と3人で参加しました。独立記念日の前日だったのでとても空いてました。優雅な感じでクルージングが出来ました。窓ガラスがあまり綺麗じゃなかったので船内からの景色はいまいち、でも外に出たらとても気持ち良かったです。

It was fun! The actual sunset was after we got off the boat, but it was great for experiencing the atmosphere. The participation rate of Japanese people is lower compared to other activities, so you can feel a sense of being in a foreign country.

たのしかったです！
実際のサンセットは船を降りてからでしたが、雰囲気を味わうにはよかったです。
他のアクティビティより日本人の参加率は低めなので、異国感は感じられます。

In addition to the star-studded stage, there were beautiful hula performances, impressive fire dances, and the food was delicious! My elementary school daughters also enjoyed it.

スターのステージに加え、華やかなフラ、迫力あるファイヤーダンス、お料理も美味しいです！小学生の娘達も楽しんでました。

I was late for the meeting time, but I was relieved that they welcomed me with a smile. The sunset had nice music, and everyone seemed happy. Besides us, there were other foreigners, which added to the Hawaiian vibe and made it a relaxing experience. There are restrooms available, but they are portable toilets, and you can see from above, which might be a bit embarrassing for those in one-piece swimsuits.

集合時間に遅れてしまいましたが笑顔で迎えてくれて助かりました。
サンセットはいい感じの音楽でみんなが幸せそうでした。
私たち以外、外国人の方で、さらにハワイ感が感じられてゆったりと過ごせました^ ^
トイレもついていますが、簡易トイレでうえからは丸見えです笑
ワンピース型の水着の方はちょっと照れてしまうかもしれません(^ ^)

We had a wonderful time on the Holokai! The captain and crew were very funny and asked many times if they could get us anything. I would highly recommend this. It was one of our favorite activities while in Hawaii.

I signed up for a submarine tour since my friend couldn't go diving! It was really fun to see sea turtles and rays. Also, since the commentary was in Japanese during the time I booked, there were many Japanese people, and we didn't have any issues with manners. The person giving the commentary was also entertaining!

If I had to mention one thing, I chose the bus transfer from the hotel, but I noticed that one of the staff members, who I think was probably a part-timer, was chatting a lot with another staff member, which caught my attention. I thought, "Well, this is a foreign country, so maybe it's normal," but it was a little concerning. Other than that, I was very satisfied!

友達がダイビング出来ないため潜水艦ならと思い申し込みしました！ウミガメやエイなども見ることができとても楽しかったです。また、申し込んだ時間帯は日本語での解説だったため日本人も多くマナー等で困ることはありませんでした。解説してる人も面白かったです！
ただ一つ言うならばホテルからバスの送迎付きにしたのですが、スタッフの方が多分バイトの子だと思うのですが違うスタッフとお喋りばかりしていたのが気になりました。外国だしこんなもんかなーとは思いましたが、少し気になりました。それ以外はとても満足しました！

It was quite comfortable with little shaking. There were many people from overseas. The staff was very friendly. We could see a rainbow in a semicircle.

あまり揺れなくてかなり快適。
海外からの方々非常に多いです。
スタッフかなり親切でした。レインボーが半円でみれました。

I previously used a different catamaran during the day, but this one was more affordable, so I decided to use it to watch the sunset. Since it was bright, I usually missed the sunset without realizing it, but this time it was perfect from the water. My child found it amusing to bounce on the safety net last time, so they quickly moved onto the net, but it seems that's not allowed now, and they were warned. Still, they were satisfied sitting at the front and getting soaked from the splashes. It's a must to wear a swimsuit at the front.

以前は別のカタマランを昼に利用しましたが
此方の方がお値打ちでしたのでサンセットを
見るために利用しました。
明るいのでいつもは知らない間にサンセットが
終わっていましたが、今回は海上からバッチリです。
子供は前回セフティーネットで跳ねた事が面白かったらしく、早速ネットの上に移動したのですが、今はダメらしく注意されました。
それでも先端に座って飛沫でずぶ濡れになって満足そうでした。
先端は水着で参加がマストですね。

It's was a very fun time. The crew were competent as well as entertaining. The crowd were of varied ages, so it made everyone comfortable and included. A beautiful evening in Waikiki. My wife and I went on the cruise instead of a luau for our 34th anniversary and we have absolutely NO regrets. I highly recommend it

We participated as a family of four. Most of the participants were Westerners, creating an exceptional exotic atmosphere. With Diamond Head in the background and other yachts coming and going in the sunset, it turned out to be the perfect sunset cruise. It was a wonderful memory.

家族4人で参加。ほとんどが西洋人で異国情緒の雰囲気抜群。夕陽にダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに他のヨットが行き来し、これ以上ないサンセットクルーズになりました。素晴らしい思い出です。

I was well taken care of in Hawaii during my meals! I enjoyed the drinks and food, and since I have weak legs, they helped me carry things and I also enjoyed dancing! The hula show was more than enough! The performances by Presley and other activities were wonderful and captivating. This year, I also got to see the fire dance for the first time! I'm looking forward to putting the photos I purchased in my album. I will visit again next year. Please continue to provide wonderful shows!

食事中はハワイのかたたに、お世話になりました❗
飲み物、りようりは足が弱い私は、運んでいただき、踊り
も楽しみました❗
又、フラショーは十分！プレスリー
や、その他アクティビティは素晴らしく
目を奪われます。
火の踊りも今年は、初めて見せて頂きました❗又、購入した写真
アルバムに張り楽しみです。来年伺いますね。
素晴らしいショー宜しくお願い致します

My husband and son participated. They said it was their first time surfing, and they had a lot of fun, even more than they expected. My husband said we definitely should do it, so next time, I would love for my daughter and me to join as well.

夫と息子が参加しました。
初めてのサーフィン、予想以上に乗れて
楽しかったと言ってました。
絶対やった方がいいと夫が言ってくれたので、
次回は私と娘も是非参加したいです。

I was able to enjoy a spectacular fire dance. The large circle that matched the visuals in the background was also impressive. I definitely want to recommend this to anyone going to Honolulu. The food was delicious, and it was a wonderful entertainment experience that kept us entertained during mealtime.

豪快なファイヤーダンスも楽しむことができました。後ろの映像とマッチングしているところも見ごたえのある大きなが円で良かったです。是非ともホノルルへ行く人にも勧めたいと思います。食事もおいしく、食事時間にも楽しませてくれる大変良いエンタテイメンントで素晴らしかったです。

We participated as a couple, and about 70% of the passengers were from English-speaking countries. The crew was very attentive, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we didn't feel any language barrier. The cruising experience was very pleasant, and the sunset provided us with a valuable experience. It was such a great time on the Holokai Catamaran that we would love to participate again next time.

私たちは夫婦で参加しました、乗船者の７割くらいの方は英語圏の方でしたが、クルーの気配りも良く言葉のハンデも感じないほど楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。クルージングはとても気持ちよく、サンセットは貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。次回も参加をしたいと思うほど良いホロカイ・カタマラン号です。

All in all a fantastic experience, well organised and the hosts were very engaging and knew thier stuff. Would highly recommend and would also go again or one of there other experiences. Thanks guys.

I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Honolulu. The weather was great, and we had plenty of time for snorkeling, followed by a fun cruise. I even encountered the turtles I wanted to meet, which made it a wonderful experience. If I have the chance again, I would definitely like to participate.

ホノルルの海を満喫できました。
天気も良く、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあり、その後のクルージングも楽しかったです。
出会いたかった亀にも遭遇でき、大変楽しめました。
また機会があれば、是非参加したいです。

We traveled with a 3-year-old child and my grandfather, so I made a reservation for some beach activities. The check-in was along the beach under the blazing sun... we arrived too early and the sunlight was intense! But the pier to the boat! My spirits were lifted!!

I was told to stay outside if I wanted to hear explanations in Japanese, and there was one Japanese crew member, so I felt reassured about the language barrier!

As soon as we set off, we saw small fish and even a sea turtle in the shallow waters, and the sea breeze was refreshing! It was a quick hour, but I was very satisfied.

However, since the time was short and we were on the boat, I thought alcohol might not be necessary. If there was an option for just soft drinks, I would have preferred that!

3歳前の子供と爺と３世代で旅行をしたので海遊びに予約しておきました。
受け付けは炎天下のビーチ沿いで・・・早く着きすぎて日差しが強かった～
でも、船までの桟橋！テンション回復！！
日本語で説明が聞きたい場合は中に入らず外にいて！っと声を掛けられ
クルーに日本人が１人いるので言葉の面でも安心！
出発してから、すぐの浅瀬で小魚がいたりウミガメが見えたり海風も爽やかっ！
あっという間の１時間でしたが大満足です

しかし、時間も短いし船の上ということからアルコールはいらないかも。
ソフトドリンクのみの料金がでるなら、そちらでもよかったと思いました☆彡

This is my fifth time participating! It's become a tradition to join when I'm staying in Honolulu on Fridays! It's the best! Even in summer, it can be cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

今回で５回目の参加です！
金曜に、ホノルル滞在の時は参加するのが定番に！
最高ですよ～
夏場でも寒いので上着は持参をおすすめです。

I'm 56 years old, but I don't know Elvis from his peak years, I just met Michael, and I have no idea about Katy. However, including the Hawaiian part, it was a lot of fun.

We started with cocktails and then enjoyed a meal while chatting. I thought, "This tastes familiar," and it might be from STAR of Honolulu?

All the performers put in a lot of effort, entertaining the audience. Since our seats were close, we could even hear their breathing. It was very powerful. There were many Japanese people, so maybe they made the English jokes easier to understand?

My husband and I are beginners who are totally hooked on Hawaii (this is our third time in three consecutive years). It was our first time at a typical Hawaiian show, and we had a great time; the time flew by.

Being from the countryside, I'm not used to entertainment itself, so I might find everything "amazing."

いい歳（56歳）ですが、エルビスは若い頃のピークを知らず、マイコーはジャストミート、ケイティーはさっぱりわからず。でもハワイアンも含めて、とても楽しかったです。
カクテルからスタートしてワイワイ言いながら食事へ、「どこかで食べたようなと思ったら」STAR of Honolulu？かな。
出演者みんな一生懸命のパフォーマンスで、観客を楽しませてくれます。席が近いので、皆さんの息遣いまで聞こえます。迫力満点です。日本人が多いので英語のジョークもわかりやすく言ってくれてるのかな？
私たち夫婦は、ハワイ・どハマリ初心者（3年連続3回目）です、ベタなハワイのショーが初めてでしたが普通に楽しく、時間の過ぎるのもすごく早く感じました。
田舎者なので、Entertainmentそのものに慣れてなくて、何でも「スゴイ」と感じているかもです。

I boarded the ship alone.

Since I occasionally get motion sickness, I took some anti-nausea medication 30 minutes before boarding (I wanted to enjoy the trip).

I checked in at a small booth next to the Sheraton Hotel. I think just saying my name was enough to complete the check-in.

We gathered near the catamaran and then lined up for a photo. (Afterward, they were selling the photos for about 2,000 yen. I wish that was included in the tour price.) I didn't understand anything during the English explanation, but it was fine. After the photo session, we took off our sandals and boarded the ship. The side we boarded was the direction we were heading (front). I placed my bag behind a chair, but I hope that was okay.

There were no Japanese people on board. Everyone else was families or couples.

It was fine to wear a swimsuit.

They played reggae and other music, which felt nice. I think Mai Tais were sold for around 500 yen. I believe there were beers available too.

The captain had a great vibe. He interacted with other guests, but since I was alone, he asked me where I was from, which made me happy. Because of that, a group of young men and women sitting next to me spoke to me in Japanese. I made friends, even if just for the trip.

A man who had come by boat from quite far away (maybe he was an acquaintance of the captain?) was lounging on an air sofa, floating. (What a luxurious way to spend time!) I felt like the scene of the captain tossing a can of beer was very American!

We moved quite far from Waikiki Beach. I was moved by the sight. I love the ocean, and I almost cried... haha.

If you sit on the side you boarded (the front), you'll get splashed by waves along the way. Kids and young people were having fun. The passengers were all getting excited together. If you don't want to get wet, please be careful.

The sea breeze felt really nice, and I almost fell asleep on the way back.

I decided that I will definitely ride again when I go to Hawaii. I could ride every day. Next time, I want to try the sunset cruise too.

Thank you very much.

女一人での乗船です。

たまに車酔いをする方なので、
乗船30分前に念のため(楽しみたいので)酔い止め薬を飲みました。

シェラトンホテル脇の小屋？で受付。
名前を言うだけでチェックインが済んだ気がします。

カタマランが止まっている近くに集合し、そのあとに一列に並び写真を撮ってもらいます。
（終わったあとに確か2,000円ぐらいで販売していました。ツアー代金に含まれて入れば良いのになぁ。）
英語の説明を受けてもなにも分かりませんでしたが大丈夫でした。
撮影が終わると、サンダルを脱いで乗船。
登った側が進行方向(前)＊です。
荷物は適当に椅子の後ろに入れましたが大丈夫だったのかな？

日本人はゼロ。
全員ファミリーやカップルでした。

水着でも大丈夫でしたよ。

レゲエなど音楽がかかって気持ちが良いです。
マイタイは500円ぐらいで販売していた気がします。
ビールもあった気がします。

キャプテンのノリが良かったです。
他のお客さんにも声をかけていていましたが、私は一人での乗船でしたので、どこから来たの〜？と、声をかけてくれました。嬉しかったです。
それもあり、隣に座っていた歳の近い男女グループが日本語で話しかけてくれました。
旅の間だけですが友達も出来ました。

ビーチからかなり離れたところに船で乗って来た男性(キャプテンの知り合いだったのか？)がエアソファーに寝転び、浮いていました。(すごい贅沢な過ごし方！)
キャプテンが缶ビールをおすそ分けで投げている光景がアメリカっぽい〜〜‼︎‼︎と感じました。

ワイキキビーチから結構離れていきます。
なんだかその光景に感動。
海が大好きなので涙ぐみました…。笑

登った側・進行方向(前)＊に座ると、途中でスプラッシュ！といって波がかかります。
子どもから若者が楽しんでいました。割と乗客みんなで盛り上がります。
濡れたくない方は気を付けてくださいね。

海風が本当に気持ちよくて帰りに寝そうになりました。

またハワイに行ったら必ず乗ろうと決めました。
毎日乗っても良いかも。次はサンセットクルーズも乗りたいです。

ありがとうございました。

It was a participation with my friend's 10-year-old twins and the four of us. The weather was cloudy and not very clear, but the little ones seemed to enjoy the boat swaying in the waves, which felt like a roller coaster. It would have been perfect if there were fewer clouds!

友達の10歳の双子と4人での参加でした。
雲が多くスッキリしない天気でしたが、チビッ子たちは波に揺れる船がジェットコースターみたいで楽しかったようです。
これで雲が少なければ最高でした！

Unlike diving, you can easily dive down to 30-40 meters and see the blue sea where sunlight doesn't reach. The sight of the submarine emerging from the ocean is breathtaking. The cruise is enjoyable and feels great, so I recommend it for families.

ダイビングと違って、気軽に30-40mまで潜れて、太陽に光の届かない青い海が見れました。潜水艦が海から飛び出してくるところは圧巻です。クルーズも楽しめて気持ちがいいので、家族連れにはおすすめです。

White sandy beaches, crystal-clear sea, welcoming turtles, and dolphins jumping next to the boat.
I was satisfied even before entering the water♪

The underwater world was beautiful, with sharks, turtles, and various fish.
I was very satisfied.

白い砂浜、透き通る海、出迎える亀、船の横でジャンプするイルカ
海にはいる前でも満足♪

海の中は綺麗で、サメや亀、いろんな魚がいました
大変満足

Since I participated on Friday night, I was able to enjoy the sunset as well as the Hilton fireworks from the boat, which was wonderful. The staff were all cheerful, and I was able to have a fun time throughout. There was plenty of time, and I was satisfied with being able to leisurely enjoy both the sunset and the night view.

金曜の夜に参加したので、サンセットに加えてヒルトンの花火も船上から見ることができ、とてもよかったです。スタッフの方が皆陽気で、終始楽しい気分で過ごせました。時間がたっぷりあり、夕陽も夜景もゆっくり楽しめて満足でした。

Competent crew and very friendly. Website preparation is excellent.

It was my first time doing SUP, but the instructor was kind and explained everything clearly, so I was able to move as I wanted in about 30 minutes. The wind and waves made SUP challenging, but I was able to enjoy it nonetheless. Next time, I want to challenge myself to go a bit faster and venture further out.

初めてのSUPでしたが、インストラクターが親切に分かりやすく教えてくれたので、30分くらいで思うように進むことが出来るようになりました。風や波はSUPを難しくするのですが、それはそれで楽しむことができました。次回はもう少しスピードを出して、沖の方まで行くことにチャレンジしたいと思います。

The captain and crew mate were excellent. They were having fun and clearly love their jobs. We had a great time and got to see beautiful sights.

My husband and I were looking for a night out and this fit the bill. Our service was the best of the several excursions we have taken while here. The food was good and was cooked at our request to my personal liking. The show itself was very good which continually moved forward with good timing. The only negative I found was we sometimes lost the vocals, my husband thought is was probably due to our location in the room, which was on the floor directly in front of and below the stage. Dispite this it was an excellent show.

The 3 guys did an excellent job going over safety an simple instructions in the classroom, on the beach the were patient and helpful. I was satisfied with the results!
