All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The crew was cheerful, and with the option to drink alcohol, the atmosphere on board was full of fun. However, there are a few points that Japanese travelers should be cautious about, which may be helpful for those participating in the future.

1. The departure location is hard to find.
2. You will almost get completely soaked when boarding.
3. The time between the meeting time and departure is wasted.

Regarding point 1, as others have mentioned, since it's within the hotel premises, it was very difficult for those not staying there to find. I went for a preview the day before, but there were no landmarks, so I was anxious until the day of departure.

For point 3, there was no designated line for boarding, and passengers were scattered around, so even though I arrived well before the 5:00 PM meeting time, I ended up being one of the last to board.

If you're used to the proper service found in Japan, you might feel a bit confused. Honestly, I was quite skeptical about these issues before boarding, but the cruise itself was enjoyable.

クルーの人達が陽気な感じで、お酒も飲めるとあって、船内は楽しさいっぱいでした。
ただし、日本人的には気を付けなければならない点がいくつかありますので、今後参加される方のご参考になれば。
1.　出航場所が分かりづらい
2.　乗船する時にほぼびしょぬれになる
3.　集合時間から出航までの時間が無駄

1.は、別の方も書いていますが、ホテルの敷地内ですので、そこに宿泊していない者にとっては非常に分かりづらかったです。前日に下見に行ったのですが、何の目印もないので、当日まで不安でした
3.は、乗船用の列がなく、お客さんはその辺に散らばっていたので、集合の17:00よりかなり前に行ったのに、いざ乗り込む時は一番最後になってしまいました．．

日本のように、きちんとしたサービスに慣れていると、少々戸惑うかもしれません。
正直、私は乗船する前は、これらのことで疑心暗鬼でしたが、クルーズ自体は楽しかったです。

This was our first time visiting Hawaii and we definitely wanted to check out a catamaran tour. This was by far the best choice for us. The tour was amazing! Very convenient and affordable choice.

This was my second dinner cruise on my third trip to Hawaii, but it seemed shorter than the last time. I was disappointed that the cruise ended before the night view started.

三度目のハワイ旅行で二度目のデイナークルーズでしたが前回より時間が短かつたようでした。夜景が始まる前にクルーズが終わり残念でした。

In addition to fish, I was able to see sunken ships and airplanes on the seabed, which made me feel like I was exploring the ocean floor, and it was a lot of fun. I also encountered sea turtles and sharks. It's a shame I didn't get to see any whales! Unlike going into the sea, there's no need to change clothes, so it's easy to participate.

魚以外にも、海底に沈んだ船や飛行機を見ることができ、海底を探検してるような気分でとても楽しかったです。ウミガメやサメにも遭遇することができました。クジラには出会えず残念！海に入るのと違い、着替えたりしなくていいので気軽に参加できていいですね。

The pleasant sea breeze of Hawaii, the shimmering Diamond Head at sunset, and a cruise while sipping on the original Mai Tai was the perfect way to wrap up our trip. My sister, my daughters, and I participated, and it was everyone's first yacht cruise, but everyone loved it. The original Mai Tai on the Mai Tai Catamaran was as delicious as the crew boasted, and everyone had multiple drinks. About 30% of the participants were Japanese, but everyone was cheerful and having a great time. As the reviews said, the cost performance is very good. For attire, we participated in locally sourced muumuu dresses, but since the wind lifted the hems, I think shorts would be less bothersome. We took off our beach sandals and went barefoot. We didn't get wet on the yacht, but when boarding, the hem of my dress got wet from the waves on the beach. That was fun too. Before boarding, they take group photos with Diamond Head in the background. They take really beautiful photos, so I recommend buying them. I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Honolulu. The crew, who kept the atmosphere lively, was also great! I am looking forward to joining again!

ハワイの心地良い海風と夕日に輝くダイヤモンドヘッド、そしてオリジナルのマイタイを飲みながらのクルーズは、旅の締めくくりにぴったりでした。
私と妹、娘たち4人での参加でみんな初のヨットクルーズでしたが、全員絶賛していました。
マイタイ カタマラン号のオリジナルマイタイは、クルーの自慢通り、とても美味しくみんな何杯も飲んでいました。
参加者は、日本人は3割程度でしたが、みんな陽気に楽しく盛り上がっていました。
口コミ通り、コスパもとても良いと思います。
服装は、私たちは現地調達したムームードレスで参加しましたが、風ですそがめくれるので、ショートパンツなどのほうが気にならないと思います。
足元は、ビーチサンダルをぬいで裸足になります。
ヨット上では濡れなかったですが、ヨットに乗り込むときに浜辺の波でドレスのすそが濡れました。それも楽しかったですが。
乗船前にグループごとにダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮ってくれます。
凄くきれいに撮ってくれるので買う事をオススメします。
次回のホノルル旅行のときにも、またぜひとも参加したいと思っています。
楽しく盛り上げてくれたクルーもGOOD！！です。
また、ぜひとも参加したい思っています♪

I chose a standard seat, but since I arrived early, I was able to sit in the front row even with a standard ticket. The show was spectacular and very enjoyable. The stage is surrounded by tables in a U-shape, so no matter where you sit, you can enjoy the dancing from all angles.

The food looks delicious, but don't expect too much from it. (laughs) It was mentioned that you would receive a shell lei, but standard seats don't get anything. Only gold and diamond seats receive that.

スタンダード席にしましたが、早めに行ったのでスタンダードでも前方に一番近い席に座れました。ショーは圧巻でとても楽しかったです。ステージをこの字型に囲ってテーブルがあり、どの席に座っても四方を向いてダンスしてくれるので横側でも楽しめます。
美味しそうに見えますが、料理は期待しないで下さい。笑
シェルレイをもらえると書いてましたが、スタンダード席は何ももらえないです。ゴールドとダイヤモンド席のみでした。

I traveled to Hawaii with my daughter. As soon as we arrived, we wanted to see something truly Hawaiian, so we participated in this event. The venue is the theater on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, right in front of the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel where we stayed, so it was easy to find.

We were greeted with welcome Mai Tais and beer, and the food, including dessert, was plentiful! The show featured high-level performances from Elvis and Michael, which were very satisfying. But the highlight was definitely the male hula and fire dancers; they were amazing. It was an impressive Hawaiian night right in front of the stage.

However, being so close to the stage made it a bit disappointing. I would have preferred seats that allowed for a better overall view, so I deducted one star for that. But if you want to truly feel like you're in Hawaii, I definitely recommend it!

娘と二人でハワイ旅行。到着してすぐにハワイらしいものを見たいと参加しました。
場所はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階シアターで、宿泊したシェラトンワイキキホテルの目の前
と迷うことなく行けます
ウェルカムマイタイとビール、お料理もデザートまでボリューム満点！ショーはエルビスもマイケルもレベル高く満足。でもなんといってもフラとファイヤーダンスの男性が凄かった
ステージ目の前で迫力満点のハワイの夜でした
ただ、目の前すぎて残念な感じがしました。もう少し全体を見渡せる席が良かったので星マイナス1とさせていただきました
でもハワイに来たなー！と感じたいなら是非オススメです

I had a fun lesson during the refreshing early morning hours, even though I was a bit anxious since it was my first experience. It was great that they took photos for an additional fee.

早朝のさわやかな時間帯に、初体験でちょっと不安でしたが、楽しくレッスンを受けました。
別料金でしたが、写真の撮影をしてくれていたのでよかったです。

Surfing for the first time in 13 years!
I was able to stand up on the board in just one try, and the waves and instruction were great.
It's an English lesson, but they also speak in Japanese, and because it's an English lesson, I was able to make friends from other countries as well. It was the best!

13年ぶりのサーフィン！
1回で立てたのも、波も指導も良かったから^ ^
英語レッスンですが、日本語も交えて話してくれるし、英語レッスンだからこそ、他の国の友達もできたし最高です！

Small children can participate. Since you'll be going down a ladder, it's better to wear pants. I'm satisfied that I could give my child the valuable experience of seeing the beautiful scenery at the bottom of the sea from inside a submarine.

小さな子供も参加できます。はしごを降りたりするので、ズボンで参加した方が良いです。
海の底の綺麗な景色を潜水艦の中から見るという、貴重な経験を子供にさせてあげられて満足です。

I had no experience with surfing, but I really wanted to try it, so even though my schedule was tight, I participated on the first day of my arrival.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful! Surfing was tough, but it was fun. The instructor was very experienced and kept encouraging us to try as many times as we could until we felt we couldn't anymore (laughs).
The data was delivered quickly too! Thank you very much!

サーフィンは未経験でしたが、ぜひやって見たいと思い、日程がキツかったのですが、到着初日に参加しました。
海がめちゃくちゃ綺麗！サーフィンはしんどかったですが、楽しかったです。先生は教え慣れていて、無理というまで、何回でもやらされます(笑
データもすぐに届きました！ありがとうございました！

Overall, there were no issues.
On the submarine, Japanese was played through headphones, so the children probably didn't mind at all.

For example, if they could understand even simple English like "you can see the submarine when you go up on the deck," it seems they would be fine without the Japanese guide time in the morning.

Of course, the children were very excited about being on a submarine for the first time.

概ね問題無し。
潜水艇ではヘッドフォンで日本語は流れてくるので、子供は全く気にならなかったはず。

例えば、船上に上がると潜水艇が見えるとか、そんな英語さえ判れば、午前中の日本語ガイドタイムで無くても大丈夫そうです。

勿論、初めての潜水艇に子供は大喜びでした。

Ninety-nine percent of the people on board were foreigners. Everyone was very cheerful, and I thought that foreign people and Japanese aunties are universally the same! However, it was disappointing that there was only one type of free drink.

乗船している人は９割9分外国人でした。
皆さんとっても陽気で外国の人も日本のおばちゃんも万国共通なんだ！と思いました。
ただ無料ドリンクは一種類だけだったのが残念でした。

Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing due to the cloudy sky, but the interior of the ship was beautiful and the food was delicious. As rumored, the ship had large glass windows with a great view and was quite comfortable with little motion. Although I couldn't see the dream-like shot of the whale jumping out of the water on the cover of the brochure, I was still fairly satisfied.

あいにくの曇り空で少々残念でしたが、船内は綺麗で食事も美味しくいただくことが出来ました。噂通り、全面ガラス張りで眺めも良くて、揺れも少ない快適な船内でしたので、パンフレットの表紙のクジラが海面からジャンプしている夢の様なショットは、もちろん観ることは出来ませんでしたが、まぁまぁ満足でした。

We had our wedding in Hawaii in January and used this for the after-party. Everyone had quite a bit to drink, but it was a comfortable cruise without much swaying. We were lucky to unexpectedly see whales. Be careful, as it takes quite a while to walk from the Hilton to the beach.

1月にハワイで結婚式を挙げ、2次会で利用しました。皆さんかなり酒が入っていましたが、特に揺れる事も無く、快適なクルーズでした。思いがけず、鯨を見る事が出来てラッキーでした。ヒルトンからビーチを歩いていくと、かなりかかるので要注意です。

I used this service on the first day of my trip! Since we set sail while it was still light out, I was able to enjoy the beautiful blue sky, the blue ocean, and the view of Waikiki! I was also moved by the beauty of the sunset afterward! When we participated, it was very quiet. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy a leisurely cruise while savoring a meal along with hula dancing and live singing! When choosing the sunset cruise, I was torn between a yacht or this option, but since I was with my mother this time, I was glad we chose the relaxing cruise with transportation included! I had checked the meal options in advance, so I didn't have high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed as long as I thought of it as a bonus. The staff's service was also good! I was especially happy that the bartender spoke Japanese and engaged in conversation with us!

旅行初日に利用しました！
明るいうちに出航するので、青空と青い海とワイキキの景色を気持ちよく堪能！その後サンセットの美しさに感動しました！
私たちが参加した時は、とても空いていました。そのおかげか食事をしながら、フラダンスと生歌を堪能し、ゆったりとクルージングを楽しめました！
サンセットクルーズを選ぶ時に、ヨットにするか迷いましたが、今回は母と一緒だったので送迎付きのゆっくり過ごせるクルージングにして良かったです！
食事内容は事前に確認していたので、あまり期待はせず、おまけ程度と思えば不満はありませんでした。
スタッフの方の対応も良かったです！特にバーテンダーの方が日本語の出来る方で、沢山話しかけて下さったのが嬉しかったです！

The snorkeling part was good. Remaining hour and a half was the most boring tour I even had in Hawaii. Complete waste of time and money. Would not recommend this tour to anybody.

They talked about the history of Hawaii, but I couldn't understand anything at all... (*ºчº*)w

I thought I would have enjoyed it more if I could speak English. (´∇｀)

Thank you very much!!!!

ハワイの歴史の話をしてくれたんですが。。。
全く聴き取れず。。。。(*ºчº*)w

英語が喋れたらもっと楽しめたなーっと思いました(´∇｀)

ありがとうございました!!!!

We had a great time out on this cruise got to be up close to wild turtles which was great

This was a fun cruise...good music, great staff, fun atmosphere...we were especially happy and grateful to the staff, as we were a group of 8, celebrating a friend's 60th birthday. Three of us had neglected to get tickets in time, and were on standby, hoping that we'd all get on the boat. Luckily, we were all able to go on the cruise, making this a special event for our friend...thanks so much, Holokai Catamaran!

I wanted to see a show in Hawaii, and I found a campaign for a second ticket free for "Rock-a-Hula," so I signed up immediately (･∀･). The shuttle service was also free, but since I was staying near the Royal Hawaiian Center where the show was held, I walked there. I arrived around 6:15 PM.

Dinner was served about 1 to 2 hours before the show started. We were welcomed with drinks and pineapple, and then we each took a plate to the area where the food was laid out. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the whole roasted pig was showcased by the chef. While the pig was the main attraction, the huli huli chicken and roast beef were also delicious.

Since it was a buffet, I planned to go back for more, but I got full after just one plate and decided against getting more. For dessert, there were cakes and coconut macadamia nut ice cream, and I tried everything. During the meal, we learned hula dancing, and the atmosphere was filled with the sounds of ukulele and singing, truly capturing the essence of Hawaii.

After dinner, we entered the venue in order, and I was seated on the second floor, but I didn't feel far from the stage at all. Plus, the Elvis impersonator came up to the second floor and even shook hands with us. We enjoyed hula dancing and fire dancing with impersonators of Michael Jackson and Katy Perry, and time flew by.

At the end, we were able to take pictures with the impersonators for free! I really had a wonderful time. Thank you, ALOHA!

ハワイで何かショーを見たくて探していたらロックアフラの2人目無料のキャンペーンがあったので即申込みました(･∀･)
送迎も無料でしたがショーのあるロイヤルハワイアンセンターの近くに宿泊していたので歩いて行きました。
18:15頃に到着しました。
食事はショーがはじまるまえ1.2時間でとるようになっていました
スタッフの方からのウェルカムドリンクとパイナップルが振る舞われ、その後は1人ずつ皿を持ち料理が並んでいる所へ
種類も豊富にあり豚の丸焼きはシェフが披露していました。
その豚がメインですが他にもフリフリチキンやローストビーフも美味しかったです。
ビュッフェなので次に取りに行こうと思っていましたが1皿でお腹いっぱいになり追加は断念しました。
デザートはケーキやココナッツマカダミアクッキーアイスクリームがあり全部制覇しました。
食事中はフラダンスを教わったりウクレレの音や歌で雰囲気はハワイでした。
食事後順番に会場入り2Fの席だったのですがステージとの距離はあまり感じませんでした。
しかもプレスリーのそっくりさんは2Fまで来てくれて握手もしてもらえました。
マイケルジャクソン、ケイティペリーとフラダンスやファイヤーダンスと、あっという間に時間が過ぎました。
最後にはそっくりさんとの写真撮影も無料で出来ました！
本当に楽しい時間が過ごせました。
thank you ALOHA!

The captain and crew were great and they made the cruise enjoyable. The ride was nice even tho' it did not go to sunset, probably about 1/2 hour short. Major complaint was that the wine selection was WEAK. No red!!

Nice show! I took my family (the age varies from 9 to 87), and everyone liked it!

I had my first experience in a world 30 meters underwater. I was able to see many turtles. Also, while ascending, a whale came to greet us. It was just a moment, but it was thrilling. The guide mentioned that seeing a whale in this area is very lucky! I never expected to see one at this time, making it truly a lucky tour.

海底30Mの世界を初体験。たくさんのカメさんに会うことができました。
又、浮上中になんとクジラさんがご挨拶にやってきました。ほんの一瞬でしたが興奮しました。
説明をしてくれる方がこのあたりでクジラを見るのは大変ラッキーだ！と言っていました。
まさかこの時期に見れるとは思いもよらず正にラッキーなツアーとなりました。

This was our first luau and we both enjoyed it.

Husband and I chose the Golden Circle package. We were given leis when we arrived, seated next to the stage, and were among the first to go up to the buffet.

The buffet was typical buffet foods with some Hawaiian additions. It was nie to taste new flavors but, the meats were overcooked and dry. Typical steam tray buffet. There were some nice vegetable options and the desserts were good. I don't recommend the poi. Try it somewere else.

The show takes the guests on a tour of the Polynesian islands through dance. The dancers play to all 3 sides of the seating so everyone gets a good show. Woo! The dancers were great. The musicians were great. The emcee was great. Yes, we enjoyed the show. I was mesmerized by the skill of the dancers.

My biggest complaint is the seating. We were very cramped at the tables. The chairs are uncushioned wood and tightly packed. It kinda reminded me of a wedding-type seating.

Snorkeling was amazing, saw lots of turtles and other wildlife! Lovely sail after ksnorkeling was real relaxing. Great, fun and friendly crew. Definitely would recommend!

I was worried about whether I could do it properly, but I received thorough instruction and had a lot of fun surfing! Thank you for taking so many photos (≧∇≦). I would love to participate again if there's another opportunity.

ちゃんと出来るか不安でしたが、しっかりレクチャーして頂きとても楽しくサーフィン出来ました！
写真も沢山撮って頂きありがとうございました（≧∇≦）また機会あれば参加したいです。

I'm glad I could see the Hilton fireworks. However, 90 minutes might be surprisingly long!? It started to rain halfway through, and I think 60 minutes would have been enough!

ヒルトンの花火が見られて良かった。
だけど90分は意外と長いかも！？
途中スコールも降ってきて、60分でも十分だと思う！

Despite the rain and bad weather at the time of departure, the crew made it enjoyable, and I had a great time. I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I expected, so I thought it would be nice if we could go a little further out.

出航時は雨が降り悪天候にも関わらず、乗組員に盛り上げて頂き楽しかったです。思ったより、魚の種類が少なくて残念だったので、もう少し遠出できるといいのかと思いました。

Last time, I watched the sunset on a cocktail cruise, so this time I decided to join a dinner cruise. I was satisfied to be able to sit back comfortably and enjoy the sunset and the city while sipping welcome champagne.

As for the meal, it felt similar to a lunch buffet that you could find in Japan for around 1,000 to 2,000 yen.

Perhaps a cocktail cruise where you choose and purchase your favorite items at a market or supermarket, and then enjoy them at the hotel while soaking in the atmosphere, might be a safer option.

前回は夕日をカクテルクルーズで観たため、今回は夕食付きクルーズをと思い参加しました。
ゆったりと席について、ウェルカムシャンパンをいただきながら夕焼けや街を観ることができ、それには満足しました。
食事については、日本で千～二千円くらいで食べられるランチビュッフェのような感じでした。

もしかしたら、カクテルクルーズ→マーケットやスーパーで好きなものをチョイスして購入し、ホテルで余韻にひたりながら食べる、とかのほうが無難かもしれません。
