All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

There were more than 20 participants, and there were other guests as well, but it didn't feel crowded, and we had a great time. The beautiful sunset, friendly staff, and free drinks were fantastic!

20名以上で参加し他の客もいましたが満員感もなく楽しめました。きれいな夕日とフレンドリーなスタッフ、フリードリンクは最高でした！

I had a great time diving. It had been a long time since my last dive so I considered myself a "beginner". Great staff and very helpful every step of the way.

I highly recommend them!

Everyone was really nice, and I had a great time!! The water was shallow enough to stand, which was reassuring. The waves kept coming, and they were gentle, making it easy for beginners to ride, which was great!! The instructor was friendly and made it fun ( ¨̮ )

However, after the session, there was no explanation about when we could go back or if there would be a bus to take us. When I asked, I was told the bus wouldn't come for 40 minutes, so I ended up walking back. That was a bit disappointing...

とてもみんないい人ばかりで楽しかったです！！
深さも足がつくくらいだったので安心でした。
波も次々に来てたくさん出来たし緩い波だったので初心者には乗りやすくて良かったです！！
インストラクターの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです( ¨̮ )

ただ終わってからがいつ帰っていいとかバスで送迎してくれるとかの説明が無く、聞いたらバスが40分来ないと言われ結局歩いて帰りました。
そこだけが少し残念でした、、、

I participated with my husband on April 26, just before Golden Week, during the Japanese guide's time. Based on the comments from other participants, I properly took anti-seasickness medication... The boat ride to the submersible was quite rocky. There were also some splashes of water... But I forgot all that in the underwater world. Fortunately, we encountered sea turtles three times. The artificial coral reef was home to many different types of fish, and the American (?) Japanese guide was enjoyable as well.

ゴールデンウィーク前の4月26日に日本語ガイドの時間に主人と参加しました。他の参加者のコメントを参考にきちんと酔止めを服用……潜水艇へ行く迄の船で結構揺れました。水しぶきも少々……そんなことも忘れてしまうくらいの海底の世界。ラッキーなことに海がめに3回出会いました。人工のサンゴ礁には沢山の種類のお魚達に、アメリカ人(?)の日本語ガイドも楽しかったです。

Originally, I was planning to use a different, cheaper catamaran, but I couldn't make a reservation. I also hadn't booked Holokai, but luckily, when I got there, I was able to slip into an opening that became available at the last minute. The sunset I was hoping for was decent, but the fact that I was able to go whale watching by chance was the highlight. The cheaper catamaran didn't go out far enough, so if I had used that one, I probably wouldn't have been able to go whale watching. I'm glad I chose Holokai.

元々は最安の別のカタマランを利用するつもりでしたが、予約が取れませんでした。
ホロカイも予約出来てなかったのですが、現地に行ってから、運良く直前に空いた枠に滑り込みました。
お目当のサンセットはそこそこでしたが、偶然にもホエールウォッチングが出来たのは最高でした。
最安値のカタマランはあまり沖までは行ってなかったので、そちらを利用していたらホエールウォッチングは出来なかったことでしょう。
ホロカイにして、良かったと思います。

The earphones came with a Japanese guide, so I had no trouble at all!

The staff were very kind, pointing things out to me, and the boat went around to the other side so I could see everything again, so I didn't miss anything!

It was our first time in Hawaii with our 9-year-old and 16-year-old! We had a great time taking photos with a family we met on the trip, even though we didn't understand English! My daughter was thrilled to take a picture with a beautiful model-like woman at the helm in a Titanic pose. The sunset, Mai Tai, and atmosphere made for an amazing time.

9歳、16歳の子どもを連れて初めてのHawaiiでした！乗り合わせたファミリーと写真をとりあったりして英語がわからないにもかかわらず盛り上がりました！娘は船頭でモデルさんみたいな美女とタイタニックポーズで写真を一緒に撮ってもらい大喜びでした。サンセット、マイタイ、雰囲気ともに最高の時間でした。

Since we boarded on Friday, we were able to see the Hilton fireworks from the ship. However, I was a bit disappointed by the limited variety of dishes at the buffet.

金曜日に乗船したので、ヒルトンの花火を船上から見ることができました。ただ、バイキングのお料理の種類が少なくてちょっと残念でした。

On the day of the cruise, the wind was strong, and I was wondering if we would set sail, but we departed safely. There was a photo opportunity before boarding, which cost $20. I purchased it as a keepsake. We went quite far out, and with the wind and strong waves, seawater was coming into the boat, but it was the best cruising experience. The view of Waikiki from the ocean and the sunset were amazing, and it turned into a photo-taking event. However, I had gone to the restroom before boarding, and after disembarking, I had to dash to the restroom (laughs).

当日は風が強く、出航するんかなといった感じでしたが、無事出航。乗船前には写真撮影があります。こちらは20ドルでした。記念に購入しましたよ。結構沖の方まで出て、風があって波が強く、船の中まで海水が入って来てましたが、最高のクルージングでした。沖からのワイキキの眺めや、夕日が沈んでいく様は素晴らしく、写真撮影大会でした。ただ、乗船前にトイレ行ってたんですが、下船後はトイレにダッシュ(笑）でした。

This trip was amazing! We had a great time! The ride was smooth, got the feeling that out pilot was experienced and he talked beforehand what was about to happen. He explained a lot about what was around to be seen. This was one on the highlights in our trip and we sis a lot in Hawaii :)

We were a group of eight hula dancers, all in our 60s but feeling young at heart. We enjoyed the waves quite a bit while taking photos in front of the net. We went sailing out to Diamond Head, where we even spotted dolphins and turtles! We were the only Japanese people there. The check-in was quick, and the atmosphere on the yacht was very pleasant. It's always fun, no matter how many times you go.

フラの仲間８人、全員６０代でも気持ちは若い私達、結構揺れて前方のネットの上で波を楽しんだり、写真撮ったり。ダイヤモンドヘッドの沖合いまでセーリング。イルカや亀も見えました！日本人は私達だけでした。受付も記念写真も素早かったしヨットの雰囲気もとても良く、何回乗っても楽しいです。

I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! The cruise had cheerful music and lasted nearly an hour! I was very satisfied! However, there was no shade, so I would definitely recommend providing something like umbrellas for those who are concerned about sunburn.

ウミガメをめっちゃ近くで見れて興奮しました！クルーズも陽気な音楽がかかっていて１時間近くありました！とても満足です！ただ影がないので日焼けが気になる人の為に是非パラソルの様な日陰を作って欲しいです。

I have also participated in a dinner cruise, but I didn't really need the meal; I joined to see the sunset! There are similar boats, so I ended up lining up at a different location. This one departs from in front of the Sheraton Hotel beach. Feeling the breeze and enjoying drinks, I was able to make friends with the people around me and see the most beautiful sunset. I highly recommend it!

ディナークルーズにも参加したことがありましたが、食事はそんなにいらないけれど夕日を見たいので参加しました！
同じような船があるので違う場所に並んでしまいました。こちらは、シェラトンホテルのビーチ前から出発する船です。
風を感じ、お酒やソフトドリンクを飲みながら、
まわりの人とも仲良くなったりして、サイコーにきれいな夕焼けを見ることができました。
オススメです！！

After having dinner, we watched the show.

The dinner started off with a fun atmosphere, thanks to a kind woman dressed in Hawaiian attire who adorned our heads with flower decorations and took photos for us.

To be honest, I participated with the show as the main focus and didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was surprised by how delicious everything was in the buffet! By the fourth day of our trip, I was getting tired of the heavy Hawaiian meats, but I was able to eat heartily. There were various performances during the meal, which made it enjoyable.

After the meal, we had dessert and felt great and full before watching the show. Honestly, I wasn't very familiar with the original material, but there were so many engaging elements that kept it interesting! The cast members were also very enthusiastic, which added to the fun. The highlight was definitely the Michael Jackson performance; despite a slight height difference, he looked just like the real thing! His dancing was incredible, and it felt like I was watching the real Michael. At the end, we took a photo together, and even up close, he looked just like him. I think anyone who knows famous rockers will enjoy this!

ディナーを食べてからショーを見る流れでした。

ディナーはハワイアンな格好の優しい女性が、頭に花飾りをつけてくれたり写真を撮ってくれたり、楽しい雰囲気ので始まりました。

実はショーをメインに考えて特にご飯には期待せずに参加しましたが、バイキング形式でどれも美味しくてびっくりしました！
旅行の4日目に行ったため、ハワイのお肉てんこ盛り＆味のこってりしたものに飽きて来ていた中、ぱくぱく食べることができました。
食事中もパフォーマンスが色々あって、楽しかったです。

食事の後はデザートを食べて、満腹でいい気分になってからショーを観ます。
正直私が元ネタになっている人をよく知らないということがありましたが、それでも飽きさせない演出が沢山盛り込まれていました！
そしてキャストの方々がサービス精神旺盛でそれもまた面白かったです。
やはり特によかったのはマイケルジャクソンで、少し身長は違えど本人としか見えないぐらいそっくり！
ダンスもバリバリで、本人を見ているような気分でした 笑
最後に一緒に写真を撮ってもらいましたが、近づいてもそっくりです。
有名どころのロッカーを知っていれば、誰でも楽しめると思います！

This was the best hour of our lives. The sights were beautiful especially in a helicopter with the doors off. The instructor was very informative explaining a lot of the Hawaiian culture. I would recommend this to anyone who comes to Hawaii.

The submarine was good, but there were places where the headphones were available and places where they weren't, so I couldn't hear the Japanese translation. The season might have been bad as well, but there were far fewer fish than I imagined. The windows were dirtier than I expected, and even when I took photos, they lacked clarity.

I had visited Hawaii several times, but I had never tried a cruise. This time, I participated in this cruise for the first time at the request of my family.

We cruised east off the coast of Waikiki, and it was unexpectedly fun. There were hardly any Japanese groups; most of the participants were family groups from the mainland United States, and they were lively and excited from the start. However, it wasn't uncomfortable; it was heartwarming to see the children having a great time splashing in the waves at the front of the boat. By the time we turned back for the second half, the kids had calmed down, and we were able to enjoy the sunset leisurely.

First of all, if you absolutely don't want to get wet, this cruise is not for you. You will definitely get wet up to your knees when boarding. Depending on the waves, you might even get wet up to your lower body. It's better to be prepared for that. On the other hand, as long as you are sitting normally on the boat, you won't get wet.

Also, as others have mentioned, the meeting point is indeed hard to find. I was staying on the east side, so I walked along the coast, but it was quite a walk. I recommend checking the meeting point thoroughly in advance.

I was with my 4-year-old child, and they were very satisfied, so I believe people of all ages can enjoy this. The evening tour is also a plus. As for drinks, as the tour name suggests, we started with "Mai Tai" (Mai Tai is served from the Mai Tai server), but some people were gulping down champagne. However, since the boat was rocking, it was hard to tell what we were getting tipsy from. The selection of soft drinks was not very extensive.

Overall, it was a satisfying tour in terms of cost.

ハワイは何度か訪れていましたが、あまりクルーズには未挑戦でした。
今回、同行した家族の希望で初めて当クルーズに参加しました。

ワイキキ沖を東方面へクルーズしていったのですが、これが予想に反して面白い。
日本人グループはほとんどいなくて、大半がアメリカ本土からの家族グループだったのですが、最初からテンションマックスで大騒ぎ。かといって不快なわけでなく、船の前方で飛び散る波に大はしゃぎしている様は微笑ましいものでした。その子供たちも、折返してからの後半からはおとなしくなり、今度はサンセットをまったり楽しむことができました。

まず、絶対に濡れたくない人は参加できません。
乗船時には確実に膝あたりまでは濡れます。波の具合によっては、下半身まで濡れてしまいます。ある程度は覚悟して参加するほうがいいでしょう。
逆に船上では、普通に座っている限り、濡れることはありません。

あと、皆さんも言っていますが、集合場所が確かにわかりにくいです。
私は宿泊が東サイドだったので、海岸沿いを進んだのですが、結構歩かされます。
事前に集合ポイントを十分にチェックされることをお勧めします。

4歳の子供と一緒だったのですが、子供も大満足でしたので、間違いなく老若男女楽しめると思います。夕刻からのツアーというのもgood。
ドリンクはツアー名通り、最初は「マイタイ」（マイタイサーバーからマイタイが出てきます）ですが、何人かはシャンパンをガブガブやっていました。ただ、揺れるので、何に酔っているのかわからなくなります。ソフトドリンクはあまり充実していませんでした。

コスト的に満足したツアーでした。

Great crew, seats, not just netting, beautiful views from the sea. Added surprise was the friendliness of the passengers even before the bar opened! Met almost everyone on board, laughed almost non-stop. BTW, despite what their website says, there IS A BATHROOM on board. Great experience!

Really truly awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable people. Honestly they were just as cool as the actual diving experience. If I'd been able to spend more time on the island I would have just completed my certification through them. 5 stars.

Great ride Jim was a perfect pilot wish him the best also the entire staff was outstanding very professional

I have traveled to Hawaii many times, but this time, due to my retirement and our 35th wedding anniversary, I signed up for a sunset dinner cruise through VELTRA for the first time and participated.

It might just be me, but when I boarded the ship, other participants were already having dinner, and when I was shown to my seat, there was no explanation at all. I had no idea what to do, and my dissatisfaction started piling up from the beginning of dinner. To make matters worse, the photos I purchased were not handed to me on the spot but were given to me when I was getting off, which wasted time checking the faces of the buyers against the photos, leaving me in a terrible mood.

As for the cruise itself, I had previously been on the Navatek, and since this one also operated near Diamond Head, I thought it was good.

何度もハワイ旅行に行っていますが、今回は退職、結婚35年ということもあって、初めてサンセットディナークルーズをＶＥＬＴＲＡを通じて申し込み、参加しました。
私だけかもしれませんが、船舶に乗り込んだ時には、他の参加者はすでにディナーを取っており、席に案内された際に何の説明もなく、何をすればよいのか全然わからず、ディナー開始から不満が積もり、挙句の果てには購入した写真をその場で渡さず、降りる際に渡したため、購入者の顔と写真のチェックに無駄な時間だけがかかり、気分は最悪でした。
クルーズ自体は、以前ナバティック号に乗ったこともあり、今回もダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで運行したので良かったと思います。

The waves were a bit rough, but it was a very enjoyable cruising experience. It was a wonderful experience to be able to enjoy it together with the people on board.

少し波が荒かったが、とてもたのしいクルージングでした。共に乗船していた人達と一緒に楽しめる事は素晴らしい体験でしたね。

The food and entertainment was fabulous.
The service was great.
Everyone was very accommodating too.

The cruise begins with a yacht ride from the beach. It's essential to wear sandals or go barefoot since you'll be getting into the water to board the yacht. Also, be aware that waves may come, so your clothes are likely to get wet! I ended up soaked up to my chest.

Even on the yacht, there's a chance of getting wet. A cool guy on the yacht serves drinks, including Mai Tais and soft drinks. Everyone sits together and enjoys the cruise.

I think it depends on the day, but it was quite rocky that day. Those prone to seasickness should be cautious; my friend got seasick. The kids were with us, but they didn't get sick and had a great time.

While enjoying the waves, I also took in the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. The highlight was definitely the sunset! It was absolutely beautiful! The cruise continues until the sunset is over.

I highly recommend this tour for those who don't get seasick; it's a unique experience you can only have in Hawaii.

海辺からヨットに乗ってクルージングが始まります。注意は、海に入ってヨットに乗りますから、サンダル履きは必須です。それか、裸足になるか。 あと、波がきますから洋服が濡れる可能性大です！私は、胸あたりまで濡れてしまいました。
ヨットに乗っても濡れる可能性あります。
ヨットでは、カッコいいお兄さんが飲み物を渡してくれます。マイタイ、ソフトドリンクもあります。
皆さんで座っでクルーズします。
日によるのだと思いますが、この日はかなり揺れました。船酔いされる方は要注意です。私のお友達も酔ってしまいました。子供たちも一緒でしたが、子供たちは酔わずとっても楽しんでました。
ダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキを見ながら、私は波も楽しみました。
一番のポイントは、サンセット!とっても綺麗でした！
サンセットが終わるまでクルーズしてくれます。
船酔いがない方には、とってもおすすめでハワイならではのツアーですね。

We were a couple with a big group of family so we took up half of the catamaran anyways - it was a great experience, thorough and the guys were really caring for this of us who didn't feel well! Definitely recommend!!

The only participant in the tour was Japanese, and since everything from the explanation to the end was in English, they tried very hard to explain things, but I couldn't fully understand until the end.

ツアー参加者で日本人が我家のみで、説明から終了までが全て英語だった為に
一生懸命説明などをしてくれていたのですが、最後まで良く理解出来ずに終了してしまいました。

It's a fun sailing experience with champagne, dancing, and just the two of us being Japanese. The captain and the bartender (who is cute and strong) really liven things up!

シャンパン飲んで、踊って、楽しいｾｰﾘﾝｸﾞです。日本人は私達2人だけでしたが、キャプテンとバーテン(可愛いて逞しい)が盛り上げてくれます‼

Waikiki is known for its many Japanese visitors, but on this cruise, everyone except us was a foreigner! We were able to enjoy a cheerful, exotic atmosphere while sipping cocktails!

日本人が多いワイキキですが、このクルーズは私たち以外は皆外人さん！カクテルを飲みながら陽気な異国の雰囲気を味わえました！

I joined the tour because it was advertised as a Japanese-language tour, but the guide's Japanese was quite poor.

Also, depending on your seat, you might not be able to see the fish. It seems that the other side had colorful fish, but on the side I was sitting, I could only see a few horse mackerel and black fish.

Additionally, it was a plan that promised a diving certificate, but I ended up receiving nothing, and the treatment was the same as the regular plan.

I felt quite disappointed given my expectations, so I won't be participating again.

10時は日本語のツアーと書いてあったので参加しましたが、ガイドの日本語がかなり酷いです。

また、席側によって魚が見れない場合があります。
反対側はカラフルな魚がみれていたみたいですが、私が座った側はアジや黒い魚がちょこっと見れただけでした。

また、潜水証明書が貰えるプランでしたが何も貰う事なく終わり、扱いも通常のプランと同じでした。

期待していた分かなり残念な気持ちになったので、もう参加する事は無いです。

This is my first time with the Waikiki Dive Center. Amazing and Unforgettable experience.

Although it is introductory scuba diving, the instructor will actually give you freedom to swim around while accompanying you based on your needs and previous experience. (Other company's instructor will actually hold your tank while diving, which is annoying)

99% safe and they will never force you to do anything uncomfortable.

Highly Recommended.
