All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

While waiting to depart, I got completely soaked from the waves hitting the shore! If you don't like getting wet, I recommend avoiding the seats in front of the left-side railing. At first, I felt a bit seasick from the rocking, but I gradually got used to it. By the middle of the trip, the wind felt pleasant, the music was uplifting, and interacting with people from different countries was enjoyable. It was really great!

出港待ちの間に、岸に当たった波で、全身ずぶ濡れ！
濡れるのが嫌な方は、左側 手すり前の席は避けた方が良いと思います。
はじめの内は揺れで酔いそうになりましたが、だんだん慣れてきて、中盤を過ぎた頃には、風が心地良く、音楽に心踊り、異国の方達との交流も楽しく、とても良かったです‼︎

We participated as a couple.
They provided transportation, and there are staff members who speak Japanese, so those who are worried about English can feel at ease!
The lessons are given with simple Japanese instructions, so there are no problems at all.
There are multiple opportunities to catch waves, so I believe anyone can learn to stand up!
Finally, we also received a group photo at the end.
We made wonderful memories.

カップルでの参加でした。
送迎も頂き、日本語を話せるスタッフもいるので英語で心配な方でも安心です！
レッスンも簡単な日本語で指示してもらえるので全く問題ありません。
何度も波に乗るチャンスがあるので誰でも立てるようになると思います！
最後にグループで1枚写真の入ったデータももらえますよ。
素敵ないい思い出ができました。

THE EXPERIENCE WAS BEYOND GREAT AND ME AND FAMILY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME

I sailed with 15 family members and that made the experience very special. The open bar was less than we expected but the staff was very nice and pretty entertaining.

Fantastic experience with a first rate crew. Well worth the value for three hours of snorkeling, sea turtles, spinner dolphins, colorful fish, and great sailing. Crew put safety first and had fun with everyone on the boat. Would go back in a heartbeat! My nine year old says this was her best experience of the vacation!! Thanks to the Holokai crew!

It was well organized and everyone was very friendly. The singer Leilani was amazing she is a talented musician and told great stories. The food was better than expected. I would recommend to anyone.

This was my second time participating, and it was so much fun that I brought a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time.

At the Terrace Luau, there was a whole roasted pig, and all the Hawaiian dishes were delicious.

It seems that the content of the show is constantly changing, so I never got bored.

About 90% of the participants seemed to be Japanese, but Katy Perry wasn't very well-known among the older audience and didn't get much of a reaction.

Michael Jackson and Elvis were, of course, very well-known and received a great response.

We got to see both hula and fire dancing, and everyone in my group was very satisfied. They said the one-hour show flew by.

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii next time.

I could see the Hilton fireworks very well.
The pitch-black Waikiki cruise was mystical.
The all-you-can-drink option was quite difficult to enjoy.

ヒルトンの花火がよく見えました。
真っ暗なワイキキクルーズは神秘的。
飲み放題は中々飲みづらいなあ

I was able to see the underwater world of an unknown realm, and it was very moving. My mother, who is in her 80s, was also very happy. However, it seemed that the ladder to get down into the submarine was steep and scary, but the crew kindly supported us.

未知の世界の海底を観ることが出来、とっても感動しました。80代の母も大変喜んでいました。ただ、潜水艦に降りる時のハシゴが急で怖かったようですが、クルーの方が優しくサポートして下さいました

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time attending this show. First of all, I was surprised at how close the audience was to the stage! Until I saw it, I thought it would be just another typical Hawaiian show, but it was completely different! While it may not be on par with Las Vegas shows, it was quite similar. The fire dance was also very impressive due to the proximity to the stage.

I signed up for the dinner package, and the meat was delicious. Above all, the staff's service was outstanding! The entire experience, including dinner, lasted about three hours, but I enjoyed it without getting bored. I would definitely recommend it to someone.

There were drinks available in the waiting room, and the service was good, so I recommend arriving a little early. However, I was a bit disappointed with the lobster...

I have added more memories of Hawaii!

ハワイに何回か来たことがありますが初めての今回のショーでした。
まず客席が舞台にかなり近いのがビックリ！見るまではハワイによくありがちなハワイショーかと思いきや全滅違いました！
ラスベガスのショーとまではいかないですがかなり近いものがありました。
舞台に近いせいもありファイヤーダンスも迫力満点でした。
ディナー付きで申し込みましたがお肉が美味しいかったです。そして何よりスタッフの方の対応が素晴らしい！ディナーも含めて3時間程度でしたが飽きずに楽しめました。
誰かにオススメしたいと思います。
ウェイティングルームのドリンクもありサービスもいいので少し早めに行かれることをオススメします。
ただロブスターが少し残念でした…
またハワイの思い出がふえました。

We took the turtle snorkel cruise and the Happy shout cruise and had a fantastic time on both. The boat crew is a ton of fun! We will definitely do it again the next time we are out. Thanks guys!

Amazing staff! The trip was amazing! The ease of changing a reservation was also a huge plus.

I had surfed a few times before, but since it had been a while, I was a bit worried. However, at Waikiki Beach, they helped me with positioning and everything, so all I had to do was stand up, and I was able to enjoy it thoroughly!

サーフィンは、何度かやったことがありましたが久々だったので心配だったのですが、ワイキキビーチで、ポジショニングも向きも全部していただき、あとは立つだけで大丈夫だったので十分楽しめましたー

Loved this excursion!! Family had a great time snorkeling with the crew and lots of turtles. Even an octopus too. Everyone loved this trip. Highly recommend wish it was longer.

Booked the Holokai Catamaran for the first night of our trip. Was relaxing cruising up and down Waikiki beach. Great views of Diamond Head as well. Plenty of photo opportunities. The night we went the ocean was calm and we were able to stand up on the deck the entire time. No chance of getting sea sick. The captain even let my wife steer the boat (great photo opp). Complimentary alcohol, but a healthy tip makes all the difference. Be sure to know where the pickup location is (on the beach), because you don't want to be late and "miss the boat". Perfect excursion to start off our trip. Cruise returns just in time for dinner. I'm returning to Waikiki in November and will be booking this cruise again.

The highlight of my trip to Hawaii. Awesome crew, loved the sail and got to see so many turtles. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing time!! Unlimited Mai-Tai cocktail and drinks, great staff and nice music while cruising Waikiki beach!! What else to expect from this tour?
We absolutely recommend it to people that want to have an unforgettable Friday night at Oahu!!

I was a bit drowsy at first due to fatigue from Hawaii, but once I woke up and started watching, my eyes were glued to the performance. Of course, Presley and Michael were amazing, but I was surprised by the dancers in the background who seamlessly performed not only hula but various other dances as well. It was even more surprising to realize that they were the same staff who brought us drinks during our first meal. Wow, it was incredible. It was very engaging, and I highly recommend it. The buffet meal might not be the best, so I give it four stars.

ハワイ疲れで最初はウトウトしてましたが、はっと目覚め見始めると、目が釘ずけになりました。プレスリーやマイケルはもちろん素晴らしいのですが、バックで踊っている方々がフラはもちろんの事どんなダンスでも次々とこなし、ビックリしました。それが最初の食事の時にドリンクを運んで来てくれたスタッフだとわかり、ますますビックリ。いやー、凄いです。見応えあって、オススメです。バイキングの食事はいまいちかも。で、星4つ。

My 18 and 21 year old "kids" and I had an amazing afternoon aboard the Spirit of Aloha. The captain and crew were friendly and very knowledgeable about the catamaran and about the area's flora and fauna. The gear supplied was well maintained and they had the correct optical masks for both of us that were glasses. We swam with several Honu as well as dozens of tropical fish. All in all it was a fantastic day and we are so happy that we made the trip.

I had a refreshing experience sailing on a yacht, feeling the wind and splashing waves as we headed out to the open sea. Coming to Hawaii, it was definitely fun to engage in an activity that allowed me to experience the ocean.

ヨットに乗って、波をかぶりながら外洋へと風を受けて爽やかな体験ができました。ハワイに来て、やっぱり海を体験出来るアクティブティで、楽しかった。

Not many fish the day we went but lots of huge sea turtles The buried wreaks were fun we traveled really close to a lot of interesting underwater features.

I was thinking about where to watch the fireworks at Hilton on Friday when I discovered this option and signed up immediately!

There were more foreigners than Japanese participants (when I went, it was about 30% Japanese). Before boarding, the people who had gone on the sunset tour returned, and everyone was super excited. I got on a bit apprehensively, wondering why they were so hyped up (laughs). The staff were very cheerful and kept recommending Mai Tais, and the foreigners were singing and dancing to the music playing in the background, getting more and more pumped up. In the end, we all joined in a big sing-along and had a blast! I finally understood why the people who boarded earlier were so energetic. I was worried I might get seasick, but I didn't feel seasick at all; I just got drunk (laughs). However, after getting off the boat, due to the alcohol, I still felt a bit wobbly as if I was still on the boat for a while.

It was so much fun that it has become one of the activities I absolutely want to recommend to anyone going to Hawaii, and I will definitely participate in it again the next time I go to Hawaii. It was June, but it was a bit chilly at night, so having a light jacket or something might be a good idea.

金曜日のヒルトンの花火をどこで見ようかと考えていた所
このオプションを発見して、即申し込み！

参加者は日本人よりも外国人の方が多く（私が乗った時は日本人3割くらいかな）
乗る前に、サンセットツアーに行っていた人たちが帰ってきて
みんなめっちゃテンション高くて、なんであんなテンション高くなってるんだ
って若干引き気味で乗ったんだけど（笑）
スタッフはめっちゃ陽気でどんどんマイタイを薦めて来るし
外国人たちはアルコールが入ってBGMで流れている歌を歌ったり踊ったり
どんどんテンションも上がって、最終的には私たちも大合唱で大はしゃぎ！
先に乗ってた人たちのテンション高い意味がよくわかった。
船酔いするかも？って心配してたけど
船酔いは全然せず、ただ酒に酔っただけでした（笑）
でも、船を降りた後はアルコールのせいもあって
まだ船に乗っているようなフワフワ感がしばらく抜けませんでした。

とにかく楽し過ぎるので、これからハワイに行く人には絶対オススメしたいアクティビティの1つになりましたし、自分も今後ハワイに行く時には必ず参加するアクティビティの1つになりました。
6月だったけど夜は少し肌寒いので薄手のジャケット等があった方がいいかもです。

We set sail from the beach while the sun is high, gently swaying with the pleasant breeze and waves as we round Diamond Head. While enjoying the scenery and sipping drinks, we gradually transition into dusk. It's always packed, but as we toast and chat, time flies by, so standing is perfectly fine. And finally, we witness the beautiful sunset sinking into the horizon. It's not an expensive tour with meals included, so it's easy to join. Enjoying the sunset while savoring a pre-dinner drink (all-you-can-drink♪), we then have a leisurely dinner at a delicious restaurant.

陽の高いうちにビーチから出航し、心地よい風と波に揺られながらダイヤモンドヘッドの向こう側まで回り込みます。
お酒を飲みながら、風景を楽しんでのんびりしているうちにだんだん夕暮れに。
毎回満席であふれてますが、乾杯したり、おしゃべりしたりしているうちにあっという間に時間が過ぎるので立ったままでも全然大丈夫でした。
そして最後に水平線に沈む美しいサンセット
お食事付きの高価なツアーではないので気軽に参加出来ます。
サンセットを堪能しながら食前酒（呑み放題♪）を楽しみ、その後美味しいレストランでゆっくりディナーです

Away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, feeling the sea breeze, the view of the hotels from the ocean truly embodies Hawaii. This was my first experience on my tenth trip to Hawaii. There were 40 passengers on board, and only three of us were Japanese from my family. The female deckhand who moved swiftly was wonderful. I burned the blue of that ocean into my memory. I want to ride again!

ワイキキの雑踏から離れて、海風を受けながら、
洋上から見るホテル群、これぞハワイです。
ハワイ旅行１０回目にして、初めての体験でした。
乗船客４０名、日本人は我が家族３名だけでした。
テキパキ動く女性甲板員さんスバラシイです。
あの海の青さを眼に焼き付けました。
また、乗りたいなあ

There were Japanese participants, including our family and one couple. The rest were all foreigners, but the atmosphere was nice, and after a little while, we were asked to take photos. Even though I didn't understand much of the language, I had a great time.

When we raised the sails and cut through the wind, it felt amazing and was so much fun. We went quite far out, and I was able to see parts of Diamond Head that I usually can't, and the boat stopped so we could properly enjoy the sunset.

The captain and crew were handsome as well. I definitely want to join the sunset cruise again next time.

参加者に日本人は私達、ファミリーと1組カップルが参加されていました。
他は、外国の方ばかりでしたが雰囲気も良く、少し時間が経つと写真撮影を頼まれたりして、言葉があまり理解できなくても、十分に楽しめました。
途中で帆を上げ、風を切って進む時は最高に気持ち良く、楽しいです。
結構、沖の方まで出てくれてダイヤモンドヘッドもいつもは見ることが出来ない所が見れ、サンセットもしっかり見る事が出来るよう船を停めてくれます。
キャプテンもクルーもイケメンでしたよ。
また、次もサンセットクルーズに参加したいと思います。

It became cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I enjoyed the cruise itself. I opted for juice instead of alcohol because I was sure I would get seasick, but the sea breeze felt nice.

曇ってきてしまい結果的に夕陽は見れませんでしたが、クルーズ自体は楽しめました。お酒を飲むと確実にはきそうだったのでジュースにしましたが、海風が気持ちよかったです。

I had a really good time with my husband!! Perfect date night. The food was delicious and so were the drinks.

I had a lesson with Teacher Aiza. I heard that she used to be an English teacher in Japan, so I felt very relieved to receive instruction in Japanese and was able to enter the sea comfortably. Previously, when I took a private surfing lesson at another school in Waikiki, the instructor couldn't speak Japanese, and since I didn't understand English, we couldn't communicate well. However, this time, I was very satisfied because she taught me in detail in Japanese.

Also, since the waters in Hawaii are quite deep, the lessons take place far offshore. When I caught a wave, it was a struggle to paddle back, and I had a hard time during my last lesson at a different location. Before we started, I mentioned this, and this time, the instructor helped me by placing her foot on the board and taking me out each time, making it very easy to get out to the waves.

She taught me the timing when good waves came and pushed the board for me, so I was able to stand up every time and ride the waves for a long time. It was truly fun.

The meeting point is a bit hard to find, so I will upload a photo.

アイザ先生にレッスンしていただきました。
日本で英語の先生をされていたそうで、日本語でご指導いただけてとても安心して海に入ることができました。
以前、ワイキキの他のスクールでサーフィンのプライベートレッスンしたときには日本語の話せない先生で私が英語が分からないこともあり、意思疎通ができずだったのですが今回は日本語で細かく教えていただけ、大満足でした。
また、ハワイは遠くまで足がつくのでかなり沖の方でレッスンするため、波に乗ってきてしまうとパドリングして沖まで戻るのが必死で前回違う場所でレッスンしたときにとても大変だったという話を、始まる前にしたところ、今回は先生がボードに足をかけて一緒に沖まで毎回連れて行ってくださり、とてもとても簡単に沖まででることができました。
いい波が来るとタイミングを教えてくださり、ボー
ドを押してくださるので毎回立つことができ、長く波になることができ本当に楽しかったです。

集合場所が少し分かりづらいので写真をアップさせていただきます。

A group of us took the Holkai Catamaran for a friend's bachelor party. We had a great time. The staff really made it fun and met some great people on the cruise as well. Would highly recommend!
