All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

If you're looking to enjoy fireworks on a Friday night, I highly recommend this tour. Watching the sunset from Waikiki Beach and the fireworks from the boat is fantastic. Personally, I think it's better to enjoy the fireworks on this tour rather than on a dinner cruise, and then head to a restaurant afterward. Since it can be windy on the water, it's a good idea to bring a jacket.

金曜日夜の花火を楽しむならぜひオススメなツアー。サンセットはワイキキビーチから、花火は船上から見れば◎。ディナークルーズよりもこちらのツアーで花火を堪能、終了後にレストランへ行ったほうが個人的には良いと思う。海上は風が強いので上着は一着持参したほうが無難。

This is my fourth time in Hawaii, but it was my first time seeing the sunset from the ocean. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to see the sun setting because of the clouds, but just as the sun was about to set, the clouds parted perfectly, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I love the atmosphere of Hawaii, but this moment on the ocean gave me a different experience of Hawaii.

4回目のハワイですが洋上からの夕日は今回が初めてでした。
雲が出ていたので海に沈む夕日が見られるか不安でしたが、太陽が沈みかけた時にタイミングよく雲が切れてとても綺麗なサンセットが見られました。
ハワイの空気感が大好きですが、洋上でのひと時はまた違うハワイを味合わせてくれました。

We participated as a couple. Since it was our first time surfing, we were quite anxious, but we had a lot of fun! There were Japanese staff members, so it was fine for those who don't understand English.
We joined a lesson around 8 AM on February 24, and it was pretty cold. (laughs)
In the end, we even received a free T-shirt, and we were very satisfied! Thank you!

カップルで参加させていただきました。はじめてサーフィンするのでかなり不安でしたが、十分に楽しめました！日本語のスタッフさんもいるので、英語がわからない方でも大丈夫でしたよ。
2月24日あたり朝8時からのレッスンに参加しましたが、かなり寒いです。笑
最後には無料のTシャツまでいただけて大満足です！ありがとうございました！

This sail was great and I like it . Just the location was difculty to find for me. I walked around for while and asked a few of people, finally I found boarding place it is the time for boarding already.
Otherwise everything is very good, the stuff is nice and professional, the weather is good and the sailing tour is very enjoyable.

I saw an actor named Hosoda on TV having a great time on a cocktail cruise, so I thought it was a must-do when I went to Hawaii. I made a reservation and was really looking forward to it.

Since it was my first time in Hawaii and I wasn't familiar with the area, it was quite challenging to find the meeting place, but I made it just in time. The person at the reception was friendly, and when my wife mentioned she was from Osaka, it made me happy too. I didn't get seasick, and even though I couldn't speak English, I was able to understand most things through the atmosphere, and I could chat with a few people and exchange photos.

It was truly enjoyable, and I created wonderful memories of Hawaii.

　テレビで、細田君という俳優さんが、カクテルクルーズですごく楽しそうにしておられたので、ハワイに行ったら絶対に外せないと思い、予約して、楽しみにしていました。
　初めてのハワイで、土地勘がなかったので、集合場所にたどり着くまで大変でしたが、ギリギリ間に合いました。受付の人はフレンドリーで、妻は大阪の人だと言っておられ、私もなんかうれしくなりました。船酔いもなく、英語は話せなかったけど、雰囲気で大体のことがわかり何人かの人とお話もできたし、写真も交換できました。
　本当に、楽しくてハワイの素敵な思い出ができました。

This was my second time going. Was a lot of fun and will do it again in the future. Be sure to call them direct if you are trying to book last minute

It was good, The kids loved it. There wasn't very many fish or things to look at.

It's a bit difficult to understand specialized vocabulary in English. But still had fun! The driver who picked me up said they will have Chinese version handbook very soon.

It was quite cold for the season. Since it was Friday night, it was pretty dark except for the fireworks, and surprisingly, the sunset might have been better? The fireworks were beautiful! They ended quickly though^^; I couldn't enjoy my cold Mai Tai because it was so chilly^^;

季節的にも結構寒かったです。金曜夜だったので、花火以外は結構真っ暗で、意外にもサンセットの方が、良いのかな？、、、花火はきれいでした！すぐ終わっちゃったけど^^;寒くて冷たいマイタイも進まず^^;

Definitely try to do this as a group. Most go on it for the open bar, which is a few beers, champagne, one wine and a mixed drink that they have in a keg. I would recommend for a big group, but not for a couple

"Did I manage to ride even as a beginner?!"
My friend (a woman in her mid-20s with excellent athletic ability and skilled at snowboarding) managed to catch waves and was smiling and giving peace signs with both hands by her second try, despite it being her first experience surfing. The instructor even asked her, "Is this really your first time?" She seemed very satisfied and said, "I want to surf again when I go back to Japan!" (^^)

On the other hand, I (a generally average woman in my early 30s with no particular aversion to sports) fell 7 times out of 10 attempts and could only stand up about 3 times (even then, I couldn't manage a peace sign and was quite wobbly).

"The instructor was amazing"
I have participated in various tours with Veltra, but I thought this instructor had the toughest job. When we got tired from paddling, they would pull me along while paddling and push us with all their might to help us catch waves... it was really physical labor!!! I thought it was a tough job. They were also fun to chat with, which made it easy to tip them (^^).

"The photos were great"
They were secretly taken from the shore and turned out quite well.

"The beach was full of reefs and corals"
We wore shoes for surfing, but even so, I ended up hitting my legs against the reefs and corals when I fell. At first, we learned how to protect ourselves from the reefs and corals, but I still bumped into them a bit. As someone who isn't very skilled, I ended up with a lot of bruises on my legs... Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) Also, the sea was cold in February.

《初めてでも乗れたか⁉︎》
友達（運動神経抜群の20代半ば女性。スノーボードが得意）は、サーフィン初体験にも関わらず、２回目のトライからもう波に乗って、両手を大きく挙げて笑顔でピースをしていました。
インストラクターさんから、「あなた、本当に初めて？」と聞かれるほど。
そんな彼女はやはり満足度が高かったみたいで、「日本に帰ってからもサーフィンやりたい！」と言っていました(^^)

一方、私（運動に苦手意識はない一般的な30代前半女性）は、１０回中、7回転び、3回立てるかな（それでもピースは無理。へっぴり腰）くらいになりました。

《インストラクターがすごい》
今までベルトラさんで色々なツアーに参加してきましたが、今回のインストラクターさんが、一番たいへんだろうなぁと思いました。
というのは、私達がパドリングに疲れたら、私の事も引っ張ってパドリングしてくれたり、私達を波に乗せるために力一杯押してくれたり…ほんっと肉体労働！！！
たいへんなお仕事だなぁと思いました。
おしゃべりが面白くて楽しいってのもありましたし、チップを気持ちよく払えました(^^)

《写真が良かった》
岸からこっそり撮られています。なかなかの出来でした。

《ビーチは岩礁とサンゴだらけ》
サーフィン用の靴を履いてやるんですけど、それでも転んだ時に、脚を岩礁やサンゴにぶつけてしまいます。
最初に、岩礁やサンゴから身を守る方法を習うのですが、それでも多少はぶつけちゃいます。
下手な私は、脚に青あざがたくさん…Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
それから、2月の海は寒かったです。

We boarded the cruise with the mindset that it would be lucky if we encountered anything, especially with our 6 and 3-year-old children. Once on board, we started with lunch. The lunch included pork curry (the potatoes were huge!) along with a salad and a bit of meat dish. There were cut fruits, which the kids happily enjoyed. After about 40 minutes on the cruise, there was an announcement to head to the deck to see the spouting! There were Japanese staff members, and all the announcements and explanations were provided in Japanese. We spent time on the deck enjoying the sea breeze and looking for whales ourselves. We saw spouts about ten times, and during two or three of those, parts of the whale's body were visible on the surface. The kids, who had caught on to the technique, were thrilled to spot them with their own eyes. We were also delighted to see a turtle swimming and a pod of dolphins just before returning to the port. It was a very satisfying experience!

6才3才の子供連れで、出会えたらラッキーだよね、くらいの気持ちで乗船。乗船したらまずはランチ。ランチはポークカレー（じゃがいもデカ！）と他、サラダとお肉料理が少々。カットフルーツがあり、子供たちは喜んで食べていました。乗船して40分くらいでしょうか。潮吹きが見られるからデッキへ！とアナウンス。日本人スタッフもいて、全ての案内、解説は日本語で聞けました。潮風とクルーズ、そして自分でホエールを発見するために、デッキで過ごしました。潮吹きは10回くらい、そのうち2、3回はホエールの体の一部も海面に見え、コツをつかんだ子供も自分の目で発見し、喜んでいました。ホヌが泳いでいたり、帰港直前にドルフィンが群れで泳いでいたりと、大満足でした！

I participated because I wanted to see the sunset over the ocean. There were just over 10 groups of participants, and among them, there were 3 groups of Japanese, including us. The atmosphere was filled with wonderful music, delicious cocktails (there were soft drinks available too), and beautiful scenery. We even got to see a whale, and everyone got excited with a big "fuuu~!"

Since it was a yacht and a windy day, I was very worried about getting seasick (I tend to get seasick easily...), but thanks to taking motion sickness medication before the trip and trying to look far away, I was able to enjoy the cruise without feeling sick at all!

There were no particular issues during the cruise, but I think it would be even more reassuring if there was a guide who could speak Japanese. Also, since you get hit directly by the sea breeze, I recommend bringing long sleeves.

I would love to participate again!

サンセットを海の上で見てみたくて参加しました♪
参加者は10組ちょっとといったところでしょうか。そのうち日本人は私たちも含め3組。素敵な音楽と美味しいカクテル(ソフトドリンクもありました)、そして美しい景色とムード満点でした。なんとクジラも見る事ができ、全員でfuuu〜♪と盛り上がりました！
ヨットだったのと風が強い日だったので、船酔いしないか非常に心配でしたが(当方比較的酔いやすいです…^^;)、参加前に酔い止めを飲み、なるべく遠くを見るようにしていたお陰か全く酔わずにクルーズを楽しむことができました♪
今回のクルーズ中は特に問題ありませんでしたが、日本語の分かるガイドさんが乗られてるともっと心強いかなと思います。あとは海風にダイレクトにあたるので、長袖は持って行くことをオススメします。
また参加したいです！

There were over 30 members from diverse international backgrounds on board. We had a great time with people from Europe, mainland America, and Asia, enjoying drinks together. The most popular order was the Monster (a cocktail made with the energy drink Monster).

Since it was February, it was quite chilly, and getting wet through the net made me shiver. But that was part of the fun (laughs).

I originally joined on the recommendation of a colleague, and I was very satisfied, just as I had heard. I would love to participate again.

国際色ゆたかなメンバーで、30人以上は乗船していたと思います。ヨーロッパ、アメリカ本土、アジア、お酒の力も借りてワイワイ。オーダー率が高かったのは、モンスター。(エナジードリンクのモンスターを使ったカクテル)
2月ということもあり、結構肌寒く、ネット越しに濡れるとガクブルでした。でもそれが楽しい(笑)

元々参加したのも、同僚のすすめだったのですが
前評判通り大満足。また参加したいです。

I participated with my family, and we got along well with the other participants, spending a fun time together. I learned quickly and was able to ride right away, creating the best memories.

家族と参加したのですが、他の参加者とも仲良くなりみんなで楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
教えてもらいすぐ乗れるようになり最高の思い出になりました。

Great time and good drinks!!!! Great crew and a good crowd was on broad

Awesome, took my wife for Valentines Day. She was totally impressed. Would certainly see again.

I ordered this for my friends, a family of 4, during their Hawaii trip. For they saw my posts, and love to go. However, because they have a 1.5-yr old, they can't go to the Five Star option, so they went to this one. They loved it. They said the lobster is about the size of their baby girl. Thank you for your service!

I didn't feel any seasickness on the large ship at all. The curry was delicious, and the staff were very pleasant. I saw whales about ten times. I gradually got used to it and was able to film some videos. If I could wish for more, I would have liked to see the whales closer and also meet dolphins and turtles.

大型船で船酔いはまったくなかったです。カレーも美味しかったし、スタッフも感じがよかったです。クジラは10回ぐらい見えました。だんだん慣れてきて動画も撮影できました。欲を言えばもっと近いところでクジラを見たかったし、イルカや亀にも会いたかったです。

I was picked up by a large bus in front of the hotel and headed to Aloha Tower. It was reassuring to have a Japanese-speaking staff member accompanying us, which made the experience enjoyable. Before boarding, there was a commemorative photo opportunity, and I purchased it for $30 (which included a photo and a commemorative cover with a mount, and they also sent the file to my email). There were other options available for just the photo or just the file.

Once on board, we started lunch (a buffet) in a spacious indoor area with a great view (it had a bit of a party venue atmosphere). The meal included curry, chicken, cold pasta, and four types of fruit. Alcohol was available for an additional charge, but coffee and tea were free. I would have appreciated a few more menu options, but the taste was good.

We waited for whales on the covered deck on the top floor. There was an announcement when a whale was spotted. After it spouted water, we were able to see its tail sinking into the sea multiple times. It was smaller and farther away than I expected, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was still quite moving. I also enjoyed the views of Diamond Head and planes taking off from the airport from the boat. This became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii.

ホテル前で大型バスにピックアップされ、アロハタワーに向かう。日本語のスタッフ同行で安心して楽しめた。乗船前に記念撮影があり、記念に＄30（写真と記念の表紙付き台紙、メールアドレスにファイルも送ってもらえた。他にも写真のみやファイルのみの選択肢があった）で購入した。乗船した客より見晴らしの良い広い室内（ちょっとしたパーディー会場の雰囲気）で昼食（ブッフェ）がスタート。食事はカレー・チキン・冷製パスタ・フルーツ4種など。アルコールは別途有料だったが、コーヒー・紅茶はフリー。もう少しメニューが多いと嬉しいが、味は良かった。最上階の屋根付きデッキでクジラを待つ。クジラが発見されるとアナウンスあり。潮吹き後、尾が海へ沈む姿を何回も見ることができた。思っていたより遠くで小さくて一瞬だが、それなりに感動だった。船から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドや空港から飛び立つ飛行機などの様子も見られて良かった。ハワイ旅行の一番の思い出となった。

Unfortunately, we were not blessed with good weather and couldn't see the sunset, but we encountered a whale. They chased after the whale, and we quickly switched to whale watching. Thanks to their quick thinking, even though we couldn't see the sunset, it wasn't a wasted experience, and everyone was satisfied.

残念ながら天候に恵まれなくサンセットは見れませんでしたが
なんと、クジラに遭遇。
鯨を追いかけてくれて急遽ホエールウォッチングに変更になりました。
機転をきかせてくれたのでサンセットが見れなくても無駄にはならず
利用者みんな満足してました。

In 2015, it was just the two of us with three aunts who love alcohol. The night view of Waikiki and the fireworks created a different kind of excitement, and we enjoyed a fun time with drinks flowing.

2015年は友人と二人でしたが、お酒大好きのおばさん３人。ワイキキの夜景に花火前回とは違う盛り上がりでお酒もすすみ楽しいひと時でした。

For my husband and me, staying at the Sheraton Waikiki felt like setting sail from a private beach. The weather was clear and the waves were calm. Coincidentally, an American couple who had just finished their wedding, along with their guests, boarded the boat, adding to the joyful atmosphere. Enjoying various unlimited alcoholic drinks while watching the sunset was absolutely fantastic!

シェラトンワイキキに宿泊した私達夫婦にとってはプライベートビーチからの船出のような気分。天気晴朗にして波も穏やか。たまたま結婚式を終えたばかりの米カップルと参列者も乗り込み、幸せ気分も乗せて出航。飲み放題のアルコール各種試飲しながらの夕陽はサイコ―でした！

I chose this because I was staying at Outrigger Reef.
The boarding point is from the beach of Outrigger Reef.
Everyone except us was a foreigner, making for a very exotic sailing experience.
Soft drinks, Mai Tais, and Budweiser are all-you-can-drink, so people of all ages can enjoy it.
You will get quite wet, so a cover-up that can get wet is necessary.
It gets chilly once the sun sets.

アウトリガーリーフに宿泊していたこともあり選びました。
乗り場は、アウトリガーリーフのビーチからです。
自分たち以外は外国人で、異国感満載のセーリングになりました。
ソフトドリンクやマイタイやバドワイザーなども飲み放題なので、老若男女楽しめます。
かなり濡れますので、水着に濡れてもいい上着が必要です。
日が沈めば、はださむくなります。

Nice staff. Food was good and plentiful. Service good, though preordered fish was not available. Wish the jazz entertainment had started earlier. Cruising along the coast after sunset was nice. Not sure the evening was worth the cost

Had such an amazing time! Got to see lots of fish & sea turtles, even got to hold an octopus. The crew members were very helpful & very nice. Best snorkeling adventure! Would recommend to everyone!!

It was our first activity as soon as we got off our flight. Even though we had jet lag after a 6 hour flight we had the time of my life. My husband and I have never done a dinner cruise before. He is scared of water and gets sea sick fast. From the time we stepped foot on the boat we were greeted, seated quickly, music and entertainment was great, and Marissa our waitress was superb; we loved her and the guitarist they both were totally cool. Everything they brought out was very flavorful, the lobster was succulent not rubbery, steak cooked perfectly, and dessert was delicious. The drinks were also very good especially the blue Hawaiian; it was perfecto. We did not think we would be able to eat everything they were putting in front of us but they gave us just enough time in between each course that made it easier. When it came for the dessert I was so full I didnt think I could eat another bite. We thought we would just take one bite. You know just to try it but as soon as we took one bite it was just too good we both ended up eating it all. At the end they had everyone dancing it was a very fun and delicious experience.

The Luau was very nice, good food, exciting, and romantic. My husband and I really hate buffets because people like putting their hands directly into the food. Which is totally gross but all luaus are buffets. Even though it was against our norm friends advised us when going to Hawaii it was one thing we just had to do. We decided to try it even though we are super against buffets. I must say we were wrong and we were totally glad we went to this one. We reserved it on my birthday evening and it was really romantic. It was on a roof top so you could see the beach and sun setting, the food was really good, the staff, dancers, entertainment were great and kept our attention. Everyone was so friendly and staff was very attentive. It was the most exciting, fun, and romantic birthday I ever had. I must add not one person placed their dirty little paws in the food which was a big relief for us.

Thank you all for making it the most remarkable and memorable birthday ever.

We loved everything. I am the biggest water and animal lover. The submarine was a great experience for us. Even though the reefs are all gone and they had boats, plans, and different materials placed as artificial reefs it just shows you how important our reefs are for sea life. It is a great learning experience to see the difference. How life is under water now after the way man has destroyed it and the ones who care enough to try to recover a small percent of what it would be if it had been left alone before people destroyed an environment for there own selfish reasons. Before booking I did read reviews of others who experienced the submarine tour before I decided to reserve our tour. Even though a lot of people stated they expected more and only gave it 1 and 2 stars I still decided to take the tour. I read Atlantis used partial of the proceeds to rebuild the reefs. If more people got together and helped rebuild what we all have destroyed then maybe there will be more fish and more variety everytime we come back. People should respect the homes of others, where animals live, and give to it instead of always taking. It was a great experience, it taught us to respect the beautiful nature in our world, to help rebuild, and stop destroying before there is nothing left to experience.

I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The only downside was that no one spoke Japanese, but that didn't matter because I had a wonderful time with stunning views. It felt great, and since it was sunny, I was able to see a beautiful sunset. I was lucky to also see a rainbow on the mountain side. I definitely want to join again on my next trip to Hawaii!

ハワイ到着日に参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じないのが難点でしたが…
そんなことは気にならないくらい素晴らしい景色、素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
とにかく気持ちが良くて、晴れていたのでサンセットもきれいに見れました。
山側に虹も見れてラッキーでした。
次回のハワイ旅行でもまた参加したいと思います！
