All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I wanted to experience surfing, which I've always admired, after seeing the beautiful ocean on my trip to Hawaii, so I made a reservation two days ago. The booking process was smooth, and it was helpful to have flexibility during my travels. Although there was a shuttle service included, the driver didn't arrive at the hotel at the scheduled time. When I called, they asked me to wait for five minutes. Fortunately, the driver arrived safely after five minutes, which was a relief. It seems that delays in shuttle service are common for morning lessons due to heavy traffic in Waikiki. The lesson itself was a group session with about ten people and three instructors. They were very cheerful and entertaining, making the experience enjoyable. I was nervous since it was my first time, but when I finally managed to ride a wave, it was an emotional moment! I felt grateful to have participated, enjoying the beautiful ocean right in front of me and the pleasure of surfing. I would love to do this again when I come back to Hawaii!

ハワイ旅行で美しい海をみたら今まで憧れていたサーフィンを体験したく2日前に予約しました。スムーズに予約確定いただけフレキシブルに動きたい旅行中には助かりました。送迎付でしたがなかなかホテルまで送迎の時間になってもドライバーがやって来ず電話連絡したところ5分待ってと。5分後ドライバーさんが無事に来てくれて一安心。ワイキキ市内はとても渋滞していたので朝のレッスンは送迎が遅れることは普通みたいです。レッスン自体は10人ほどのグループレッスンでインストラクター3人。とても明るく面白く映画でしたが楽しんで教えていただけました。初めてで不安でしたが何とか波乗りできたときは感動！目の前の美しい海と波乗りの心地よさに参加してよかった！と思えました。
またハワイに来たときもお願いしたいです！

There were quite a few waves, and it was a bit rocky, but the wind felt nice, and the sunset view of Waikiki was amazing! The Mai Tai was delicious too!

結構波があって揺れましたが、風が気持ち良く、サンセット、ワイキキの景色か最高でした！マイタイも美味しかったです！

It was a wonderful cruise where I could enjoy the Hilton fireworks from the ocean with a Mai Tai in hand on a Friday night in Honolulu. After the fireworks, I was able to enjoy the night view, starry sky, and drinks, which felt luxurious.

When getting on and off the boat, the waves can splash up to about my shins, so I recommend wearing clothes that you don't mind getting wet.

ホノルルの金曜の夜のお楽しみ、ヒルトンの花火を洋上からマイタイ片手に観ることができるステキなクルーズでした。花火の後も夜景と星空とお酒を楽しめて贅沢な気分。
乗り降りのときにひざ下くらいまでは波で濡れるので濡れてもいい服がオススメです。

The reception and time management were a bit lacking in the Honolulu style, but the event itself was great. We were able to create a sense of camaraderie on the boat and share the value of a beautiful sunset.

受付、時間管理はホノルル流でずさんだが、イベント自体は良かった。
船上での連帯感もできて素敵なサンセットの価値を共有できた。

The event was well organized starting with proof of ticket, to complimentary drink, I can not comment on the appetizers, because we were a little late arriving so we missed them. The meal, which consisted of salmon, steak and potato, was disappointing because it was served cold, but the taste was lovely. Also, we were not impressed with the uniform table arrangements, it would have been better in groups.
Actual show was very good, Elvis looked like a young Elvis Presley, he had a good voice, and stage presence, good with the audience participation. My personal favourite was Michael Jackson, who reminded us of a younger Michael Jackson before all his cosmetic surgery. He had all the right dance moves, especially Billie Jean and the moon walk. Katy Perry was believable, strong vocals, she appeals to a younger audience, and the props she used had a great effect. Costumes for all three artists were very good. The fire knife dancer was amazing, I held my breath in parts he made a dangerous act look easy. All the background dancers,proved themselves worthy with an excellent display of hula dancing.... amazing! The band worked well with each individual artist and the drummer was amazing. Back up singers went through many costume changes with speed and professionalism and set changes ie: bubble and surfboard sections added to the overall enjoyment of the show. The inclusion of Don Ho and the ukulele was a nice salute to the Hawaiian culture,
The waiters and waitresses worked diligently throughout, and cleared the tables efficiently, and were attentive to diners needs. Another nice touch was the fact that there was two celebrations, a Birthday and honeymoon was announced, and we all got to share in the celebration. The screens at either side of the stage was a novel idea and added to the enjoyment of the show. All the artists were very accommodating after the show and graciously took time with people from the audience that wanted photographs taken with them or chat.

The children went surfing for the first time, and it seems they really enjoyed being able to stand on the waves. Thank you very much.

子供たちは初めてのサーフィンでしたが、波に立てたりした事でとても楽しめたようです。ありがとうございました。

The family of four participated in group lessons for the couple and one-on-one lessons for the children. It was their first time surfing, but the initial explanation was very good, and they were able to stand on the waves. It was also great that the children had a fun time.

夫婦はグループレッスンと子供はマンツーマンレッスンの家族4名で参加しました。サーフィンは初めてでしたが、初めの説明がとても良く波に立つことができました。子供たちが楽しく過ごせた事もとても良かったです。

A fun and relaxing way to see the sunset and have a couple of cocktails. Boat very stable

If you want a fantastic time with a great crew, Captain Ryan, Kevin and Zak, and swimming with sea turtles, go with Holokai! A great bargain for a GREAT experience! We'll be back!!

The Japanese guide starts at 10 AM.
You board the boat from the HGVC pier and head out to the submarine.
It's a 10-minute cruise, but you can see Waikiki from the ocean side, which is quite nice.

We dive to a depth of 100 feet, so you can see a lot of fish.
There are efforts made to attract the fish, and there was even a quite large turtle.

My 83-year-old mother also enjoyed it very much.
I think it's very worthwhile.

日本語ガイドは朝10時から開始です。
HGVCの桟橋からボートに乗って沖に出てサブマリンに乗船します。
10分ほどのクルーズですがワイキキを海側から見る事ができて
こちらもなかなかです。

深度100Fまで潜水しますので、かなり多くのお魚を見る事ができます。
魚を集める工夫がされており、かなり大きなカメまでいました。

83歳の母もとても楽しんでいました。
とても価値があると思います。

The breeze was very pleasant, and I was able to enjoy both the sunset and the night view! The crew and participants were very energetic, and it felt like being in a nightclub or bar. The meeting point was a bit hard to find.

風がとても気持ちよく、サンセットと夜景と両方楽しめました！クルーも参加者もテンション高く、なんだかナイトクラブやバーにいる気分でした。集合場所が分かりにくかったです。

Great food, great service, friendly and attentive staff. The show was awesome would love to do it again when we come back in 2019!!

The sunset sailing was beautiful, with the sunset being particularly stunning. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite nice. A rainbow appeared as well. There were two handsome staff members.

Since drinks are all-you-can-drink, I was very satisfied as a fan of alcohol.

A point to note is that you board the boat barefoot, so I recommend wearing flip-flops. Also, there aren't enough seats for everyone, so it's better to board early. We ended up being quite late, so there were no seats for us, but eventually, someone stood up and we were able to sit in their spot. The sunset happens during the second half of the sailing, so sitting until the sun sets and then standing to watch is a good idea. It sways quite a bit, so pack lightly.

The meeting place was by the Outrigger Reef, but I mistakenly went to the Outrigger and got quite flustered. Make sure not to mix them up.

サンセットセーリングだけあって、夕陽がとてもきれいでした。海から見るワイキキの街並みもなかなかなでした。虹も出ましたよ。スタッフはイケメンの２人。
お酒は飲み放題なので、お酒好きの私は大満足。
注意点は船には裸足で乗るので、靴はビーサンくらいがいいと思います。あと、座席は人数分ではないので、早めに乗った方がいいです。私たちはかなり遅くなってしまったので、座席はありませんでしたが、途中、立つ人がいて空いたところに座れました。夕陽はセーリング後半なので、途中まで座って陽が暮れたら立って見るのもいいですね。かなり揺れるので荷物は少な目に。あと集合場所は「アウトリガー・リーフ」の海辺だったのですが、間違えて「アウトリガー」に行ってしまい、かなり焦りました。お間違えなく。

Even if you don't understand English, you can manage to understand through the instructor's gestures. Also, the board is large and stable, so I think anyone can ride it once they get the hang of it.

英語が分からなくてもインストラクターの方のジェスチャーでなんとか理解できます。また、ボードが大きく安定しているため、コツさえつかめば誰でも乗ることが出来ると思います。

I'm not sure if it was just coincidence or if it's because Americans are like that, but at first, they provided serious instruction, but in the second half, only one out of three was actually teaching while the others were chatting. I heard that we would finish around 3 PM, but we wrapped up by 2 PM, and I wanted to surf more.

たまたまなのか、アメリカ人はそういう民族の人たちということなのかわかりませんが、最初の方は真面目に指導してくれましたが、後半は雑談をして3人中1人しか指導してくれませんでした。
解散も15時くらいと聞いていたのに14時には解散をして、もっとサーフィンしたかったです。

This was the most fun few hours. The snorkeling was great and the guides very knowledgeable and fun. I loved it

Had an amazing Time the entire crew was amazing!! Will def be booking again when I'm back in Hawaii!!

We waited for over 30 minutes past the meeting time before boarding finally began. Your feet will definitely get wet when you get on, so it's better to wear flip-flops. If you don't want to get wet on the boat, it's best to sit in the middle. The front and back ends will definitely get wet. However, it was fun, like an amusement park attraction. I was a little worried about getting seasick, but I was totally fine. In addition to Mai Tai, there are also unlimited soft drinks like juice. The music ranged from nostalgic tunes to recent hits, and by the end, many young Japanese people were dancing along. About half of the guests were Japanese. In the end, everyone, including the crew and foreigners, became friendly. We stopped until the sunset, and the view was amazing. The price is also reasonable, so I highly recommend this tour!

集合時間より30分以上待たされてやっと乗船開始でした。乗るときに足元は絶対に濡れます。ビーサンで行った方がいいです。船で濡れたくないなら真ん中の席に座った方がいいです。前方や後方の両端は絶対に濡れます。でも遊園地のアトラクションみたいで楽しかったです。酔ってしまうかなとちょっと心配しましたが私は全然平気でした。マイタイの他にジュースなどのソフトドリンクも飲み放題です。音楽も懐かしいのから最近のヒット曲までかかって最後は若い人は日本人もノリノリで踊ってました。半分位が日本人でした。最後は乗組員や外国人含めてみんな仲良しになりますよー。夕陽が沈むまでは停止して景色が最高でした。お値段もお安いしオス
スメのツアーです！

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we immediately enjoyed a sunset cruise. There were about 20 people, but only two of us were Japanese. We quickly got into the Hawaii mood, and the sunset was incredibly beautiful, leaving us absolutely thrilled. Since we weren't very hungry on the day we arrived, a light snack was more than enough. The crew members were bright and cheerful, and they talked to us a lot, which was great. There is absolutely no need to participate in a luxury cruise.

ハワイに着いた日に、即、サンセットクルーズを満喫。
20人程いましたが、日本人は私たち2人。一気にハワイモードになり、
かつ、サンセットがすごく綺麗で、最高に感激。
着いた日は、そんなに空腹感はないので、軽食で十分でした。
クルーの人たちは、明るく陽気で、一杯話しかけてくれて、
大変良かったです。豪華クルーズに参加する必要は全くないです。

We had one of the best experiences! So much fun and it's something I will never forget! Defiantly would recommend!

We attended the sunset cocktail cruise and had a lot of fun! Both the bartender and captain were very friendly. We had been on several other sunset cruises and this one is easily one of the best. We encountered some waves which everyone enjoyed. Try the Holokai cocktail!

My fellow bridesmaids and I took 25 women on the cocktail cruise as part of a bachelorette party. Everyone had a great time and raved about the experience! The crew was great as were the drinks! Highly recommend for a group or family!!

You can enjoy a pleasant cruise. The drinks are delicious, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea are fantastic. There are quite a few foreigners on board, and the atmosphere is lively, so if you can get used to that, it might be even more fun.

気持ちいいクルーズが楽しめます。ドリンクを美味しく、海から見るワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドも最高です。外人多めでテンション高めなので、それになれれば、さらに楽しいかも。

I went to Hawaii alone, but I thought, "It would be a waste to just relax on the beach," so I participated.

I was able to have valuable experiences, like seeing sea turtles and submarines.

I would like to participate again.

ハワイは一人で行ったのですが、
「ビーチでのんびりは、もったいない」
と思い、参加しました。

ウミガメを見たり、潜水艦を見たりと、
貴重な体験ができました。

また、参加してみたいと思います。

I had a wonderful time with the best crew and the best passengers. We boarded barefoot and raced along while enjoying the refreshing breeze. We ordered cocktails, beer, champagne, and whatever we liked as we ventured further out to sea. We took a lot of photos. It was a very enjoyable cruise.

最高のクルーと最高の乗船者達とのひとときを過ごしました。裸足で乗船し、爽やかな風を浴びながら疾走します。カクテル、ビール、シャンパンなど好きなものを頼んで、どんどん沖に行きます。写真も沢山撮りました。とても楽しいクルーズでした。

It was great to see various aspects of Waikiki from bright daylight to nighttime. The waves added a thrill, almost like a little attraction! I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly, and the view of Waikiki's night scenery from the ocean was wonderful.

明るい時間から、夜景の時間まで、いろいろなワイキキが見れてよかったです
波もあって、ちょっとしたアトラクションみたいでスリル満点です！
サンセットもゆっくり見れたし、海から見るワイキキの夜景が素敵でした

My wife and I had a great time. The scenery was amazing and we got some really good pictures. The food was really good also.

I participated on the day of arrival. I'm glad I could see both the fireworks and the sunset. I ordered the lobster, but it was too much to finish, which was a shame... I think the buffet-only plan would have been sufficient. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time.

到着当日に参加しました。
花火もサンセットも観れてよかったです。
お料理はロブスター付けましたけど、多くて食べきれずもったいなかったです。。。
ビュッフェだけのプランでも充分だったかな。
スタッフさんたちはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい時間が過ごせました

Overall, it was good, but heading towards the sunset was impossible. Since we set sail after sunset, it was a bit disappointing to board in complete darkness, illuminated only by the searchlight. The sailing itself was very nice. The wind was strong, but it felt great.

全般的には良かったのですが、夕陽に向かって⁇は、無理でした。日没後の出航なので、真っ暗中、サーチライトに照らされながらの乗船でちょっと残念でした。
セーリングは大変良かったです。風が強かったですが、気持ちよく過ごせました。

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I wanted to see a show that would let me experience Hawaii, so I booked this one right in front of the Sheraton Waikiki where I was staying.

There were hula dances and fire dances, of course, but also shows featuring Elvis, Michael, and Katy Perry, which was different from what I had imagined. However, it was a good experience to see American entertainment.

After taking commemorative photos, I received a welcome drink, a Mai Tai, and moved to my seat in the front row. By the way, the photos were available for purchase at $25, and since they turned out to be surprisingly good, I decided to buy them (including a photo of Elvis and three others).

I had reserved a VIP seat, so after being seated, the meal began, but it was arranged to eat before the show started. I entered about 15 minutes late, so the meal felt a bit rushed, but it was all delicious, starting with the main set of steak and salmon.

Overall, it was a satisfying experience for my first time in Hawaii.

初ハワイでしたので、ハワイを感じられるショーを見ておこうと思い、宿泊していたシェラトンワイキキ目の前のこちらを予約しました。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスはもちろん、エルビスやマイケル、ケイティペリーのショーもあるなど、想像していたステージとは違っていましたが、アメリカンエンターテインメントを見ることができてよい経験でした。
記念の写真撮影を撮影後、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイを受け取り、ステージ正面の1階席に移動。ちなみに写真は25ドルで購入可能で、思いのほか良い写真だったので購入しました。（エルビス他3人の写真もセット）
今回はVIP席で予約していたため、着席後は食事が始まるのですが、ショーが始まる前に食べる段取りでした。15分ほど遅刻しての入場であったため、やや急かされての食事でしたが、メインのステーキとサーモンのセットをはじめ、一通り美味しい食事でした。
初ハワイとしては満足の経験でした。
