All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

This was a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening.

Great catamaran sail from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We swam with sea turtles and saw dolphins on the cruise back to the hotel. Great crew. Lunch was just o/k.

It was my first time stand-up paddle surfing. At first, it was difficult to stand, but with the help of a handsome instructor, I was able to get on the board. The view of Diamond Head from the ocean in Waikiki was so beautiful, and I had an unforgettable experience! Next, I think I'll try surfing!

次はサーフィンにチャレンジしてみようと思います！

This was the final activity of our week in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and WOW!! Talk about ending with a bang. The views were awesome, the pilot was a nice guy and the ride was smooth. For me the best part was the view of pearl harbor, we went and visited the Arizona Memorial earlier that week but to see the aerial view was simply stunning, the emotions were ones that will never be forgotten, thanks to Makani Kai Helicopter Tours.

The sunset cruise we set up on the final day of our trip was wonderful. It was a perfect way to wrap up our journey. Watching the scenery while reminiscing about our travels under the sunset was the best. There were a few spots with higher waves, but I think most people would be fine and not get seasick. I would definitely want to do this again.

8日目の最終日にセットアップしたサンセットクルーズ
旅の締めくくりにとてもいいクルーズです。
夕日をあびて旅を回想しながらゆっくり景色を眺めるの最高です。
ちょっと波が高いところもあるけれど、普通の人なら船酔いとかは大丈夫と思います。
これはまた乗りたいです。

It was my second time, but it was my family's first.
From the window, you can see the mysterious underwater scenery.
The explanations are thorough (in English) and really get you excited.
Don't miss the moment when bubbles rise up and you quickly surface.
Make sure to have your smartphone ready.
It's even more fun to capture it on video.

僕は二度目でしたが、家族は初めて。
窓からは不思議な海の底の様子がうかがえます。
説明も丁寧（英語）でテンションを上げてくれます。
浮上の際に泡がぶくぶく上がって海面に急浮上するところはお見逃しなく。
スマホの用意を忘れずに。
動画で撮るとなお面白いです。

The Hans Hedemann Surf School Experience was awesome. I actually surfed on Waikiki waves! What a memory!

The Rock-A-Hula Dinner and Show was a great event. I'm glad we included it in our vacation plans.

The Tour is very basic and provides you all the equipment to go snorkelling with. The tour provided friendly service

It was absolutely great! Service and entertainment was awesome! The views and sunset was breathtaking, and to end the night with fireworks was more than what we could ask for. I would definitely bring my family on this cruise again!

The weather was very nice. We went cruising on a catamaran, and the wind felt really good. After about 30 minutes on board, we arrived at the snorkeling spot and started swimming, where we saw a sea turtle swimming just about a meter away from us. There were also many fish, and the sea was beautiful. There were no other Japanese people besides us...

天気が非常によかったです。カタマランでクルージングしますが、風も非常に気持ちよかったです。乗船後30分くらいでシュノーケルする場所に到着し、泳ぎ始めましたが、普通にウミガメも1mくらいの距離のところで泳いでいたりしました。
魚もたくさんいて、海もきれいでした。日本人は僕ら以外にはいませんでしたが。。。

Fantastic is the word that best describes our experience. The crew was very accommodating and the cruise gave us a good overview of Waikiki, Diamond Head and surrounding area. With the limited number of participants we did not get lost in a crowd as you would on the larger cruise ships and it cost much less. Definitely worth the money. This one gets a FIVE STAR.

The show was fairly good. However, being outdoors, it is affected by the weather. When I went, it started to drizzle, making it hard to enjoy at a leisurely pace. The show had impressive elements, like the fire display, but the food was lacking. Since it's a buffet, everyone lines up at once, and some items run out if you're at the back of the line. The taste was also mediocre, so I feel like once was enough for me.

ショーはそれなりによかった。
が、屋外なのもあり、天候に左右される。私のときは、小雨が降ってきて、ゆっくり楽しむところじゃなかった。
ショーは炎のところなど、見応えはあるのだが、
料理がいかんせん、いまいち。
ビュッフェなので、みな一斉にならび、モノによっては後ろの方だと品切れに。
味もいまいちなので、一度行ったらもういいかな、という感じ。

It was a wonderful cruise had a lot of fun. Would it again

I made a reservation for a Friday departure with a course meal and a window seat guarantee (optional). The day before the tour, I received an email stating, "The window seat guarantee can no longer be accommodated. There is a possibility of sharing a table. The optional fee will be refunded." I was honestly anxious because it was my biggest enjoyment for my last night in Hawaii. I contacted the local operator myself to confirm the window seat guarantee and private seating, and in the end, I was able to sit at a window seat with private seating as originally booked, which was great. However, I was surprised and worried by the last-minute notice that the option was unavailable.

The activity itself was very satisfying; the new boat had little sway, the interior was clean, the food was delicious, and the staff was friendly. I was very pleased overall. It was a fantastic tour, but it was a bit disappointing to have confusion regarding the reservation details.

Additional note: I wonder if negative reviews are not reflected? Other reviews I wrote on the same day have been reflected in both the review and points, but this review has not appeared on the product page and does not have points.

金曜日出発、コース料理、窓際確約（オプション）で予約。
ツアー前日に「窓際確約はできなくなりました。相席になる可能性もあります。オプション代は返金します。」とメールが来ました。ハワイ最後の夜の一番の楽しみだったため、正直焦りました。自分で現地の催行会社に問合せ、窓際確約・プライベート席なのを確認し、結果的には予約通り窓際・プライベート席に座れたので良かったですが、直前のオプション不可という連絡に驚き不安になりました。
アクティビティ自体は、新しい船ということもあり、揺れも少なく、船内もきれいで、料理も美味しく、スタッフも親切で大満足です。
大満足のツアーだっただけに予約内容の件でゴタゴタしたのが少し残念でした。

It was my first time on a submarine.

There were fewer fish than I expected, and most of them were dark-colored, but I was able to see sea turtles and eels.

The staff on the boat were next to me, pointing out things like, "There's a sea turtle over there," and they also congratulated me, saying, "Is it your honeymoon? Congratulations! Wishing you happiness forever." I was really happy about that.

初めての潜水艦でした。

思ったよりも魚は少なく黒っぽい魚ばかりでしたが、海ガメやウツボを見ることができました。

船のスタッフの方が横にいたので「あこに海ガメいるよ」とか教えてくれたり、「ハネムーンですか？おめでとうございます。いつまでもお幸せに。」と言ってくれてうれしかったです。

We really enjoyed it and had the Best experience in Hawaii . The music and drinks were perfect. Thanks!!!!

It was a very beautiful cruise ship, and since it was Friday, we were able to see fireworks, which was great! However, dinner was served a bit early. By the time we returned to our seats after exploring the ship once the buffet was over, the cups for our tea had already been cleared away, so it was disappointing that we couldn't have a post-dinner tea time.

とても綺麗なクルーズ船で、金曜日だったので花火も見れてとても良かったです！
ただ夕飯にしては早い時間でした。ビュッフェが終わって船内を回ってから席に戻ってきたときには紅茶を飲むコップも片づけられていたため、食後のティータイムが出来なかったのが残念でした。

This was my first trip to Hawaii. Although I had a standard seat, it was close enough to the stage and very impressive. There were scenes where guests could participate, which was a lot of fun and gave me a sense of being in a foreign country. To be honest, the food was a bit disappointing, so I think it's better to consider meals separately. Also, since there is no shade, some seats are exposed to the blazing sun even in the evening. Hats and sunglasses are a must!

初めてのハワイ旅行です。スタンダードシートでしたが舞台には十分近く、迫力満点でした。ゲスト参加のシーンもあり、非常に楽しく、異国感を味わえました(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)食事は正直微妙でした、、食事は別で考えたほうがいいと思います。また、日除けがないため、夕方ですが席によっては炎天下に暫しさらされます。帽子やサングラスなど必須です☆

It was my first time surfing, and it was in English... I was surprised because I didn't realize that when I signed up. Surfing itself was fun and went by in no time! However, it didn't feel very beginner-friendly.

Also, I wasn't sure if there was a return shuttle, and it felt like I was reluctantly given a ride back, which I didn't like.

Thank you very much!☆

初めてのサーフィンで、しかも英語…
申込みの時に気付かなかったのでびっくりしました。
サーフィン自体は楽しくてあっという間！
ただ、初心者向けではない感じでした。

あと帰りの送迎があるのかないのかわからず、いやいや送って貰った感じでいやでした。

ありがとーございました☆

Great time !! Would do it again . My family and I all enjoyed. The crew was awesome!!!

This was the most beautiful way of seeing the island! This is my third year spending the summer with my family on Oahu, I have been blessed to be able to spend so much time on this beautiful Island and seeing it from above brought a whole new perspective. Margo was wonderful!! Thank you so very much! I only wish our video had come out.

On the last day of my stay in Hawaii, I chose a sunset cruise. The boat was recently renovated and looked very nice. I opted for the buffet for the meal, and the taste and variety were average, nothing special. After boarding, the meal began, and we set sail shortly after. Once we finished eating, we could freely move to the bar counter or the deck to enjoy tropical cocktails and watch the sunset. It was a very pleasant cruise, sipping cocktails while enjoying the sea breeze and taking in the sunset views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. I highly recommend it!

ハワイ滞在の最終日に、サンセットクルーズを選びました。
船は最近改装したらしく、とてもきれいでした。
食事はビュッフェを選んだのですが、味、品数は普通、まあまあでした。
乗船してから食事が始まり、しばらくしてから出港しました。食事が終わったら、自由にバーカウンターや、デッキに移動して、トロピカルカクテルを楽しんだり甲板に上がって、夕日を見たりできます。夕焼けに照らされたワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見て、海風にあたりながらカクテルを飲んだりしてとても気持ちいいクルージングでした。
ぜひお勧めです！

This was my first time participating in the sunset cruise, and I thoroughly enjoyed the bright smiles of the crew and the wonderful music. I was able to fully enjoy the waters of Hawaii, and the weather was great with calm waves! The cruise lasted longer than I expected, and we went close to Diamond Head, which made me very satisfied for the price! Out at sea, we sailed with the wind and were able to see a beautiful sunset on the way back. It was amazing!

今回、
初めてこのサンセットクルーズに参加しましたが、クルーの人達の明るい笑顔や素敵な音楽の中、
ハワイの海も満喫し、お天気にも恵まれ波もきつくなく楽しめました！思ったより、時間も長くダイアモンドヘッドの近くまでいき、この値段で大満足しました！沖では、帆をはり風にのりセイリングして帰りに綺麗なサンセットが見れました。最高でした！

We have made previous trips to Oahu and had never does this. This is an excellent trip to have All you can eat crab you can eat, which is absolutely true, they kept it coming. The entertainment was interactive with the guests and hilarious to watch and to participate. Plan to do this again.

Transportation to Hanauma Bay was great...very easy pick up and drop off from hotel. Snorkeling equipment was included, which made it very easy all the way around! Hanauma Bay is just gorgeous with lots to see as you snorkel!

Highly recommended, fun and friendly coaching. Worth trying.

This is the third time I have been on the Maitai Catamaran Sunset Cocktail and Friday Fireworks sail. It's a great way to see the Hilton Hotel Fireworks and Honolulu skyline. Great crew.

We had a great time on the cruise right after our arrival! It was quite windy that day, so there were waves, making it very exciting and fun. If you're dressed to get wet, you'll enjoy it even more at the net at the front of the yacht! Also, when boarding, you take off your shoes and toss them into a box, so I was worried about losing them, but it was fine. Next time, I’ll bring a bag that can hold my shoes!

到着日早々にクルーズで盛り上がりました！ 風が結構ある日だったので、波があり、とってもエキサイティングで楽しかったです。 濡れても良い格好だったら、ヨットの先端の網のところでより楽しめます！
あと、乗船する時、靴を脱いで１つの箱にバッサッと入れるので、靴が無くなったらどうしようと心配でしたが大丈夫でした。が、次の時は、靴が入るカバンを持って行こう〜。

Maita'i Catamaran is an easy cheap way to enjoy a short sail off the coast of Waikiki. Their location is walkable from just about anywhere in Waikiki (which is only about 1.5 miles from east to west), and my family did a quick 90 minute sail. They allow 0-3 year olds on for free, so for my wife and son and I it was a real bargain.

Most boating trips pad your cost by including free booze (which can make you seasick, or might have disappointingly little effect if you are from higher altitudes), so I was glad to see it sold a la carte here (quite cheaply).

Crew was friendly and approachable, and we got to be on a boat in paradise. They use their motor to get to and from shore efficiently, but most of the time the motor is off and they are just sailing, which is ideal. We saw a dolphin and 2 sea turtles too.

I just feel bad that between making sure my 3-year old got off safely and remembering all of our things I totally forgot to tip them. Hopefully this review will help. Book them now!
