All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I was satisfied to see both dolphins and whales. However, the tour had a Japanese guide whose Japanese was written in romaji on the script, and they were reading it in broken Japanese. I wonder which country the guide is from. When I asked a question, they said, "I don't understand." With this level of quality, a Japanese guide was unnecessary.

イルカもクジラも見えて満足。
但し、日本語ガイド付きのツアーで、案内の日本語が、原稿にローマ字が書いてあって、カタコトの日本語で、読み上げている状態。何処の国のガイドなのか。
質問すると『ワタシ ワカリマセン』と言われた。
このクオリティなら日本語ガイドは必要無かった。

I attended with my mother. My mother, who is in her 50s, was very pleased with the content of the show. It was heartwarming to see the hula dancer providing services like holding and taking pictures with guests who had small children during the waiting time.

母と二人で参加しました。
50代母がショーの内容に非常に喜んでいました。
待ち時間にフラのお姉さん？が、小さな子連れのお客さんに抱っこや写真のサービスをしていたのが見ていて微笑ましかったです。

I really looked fwd to seeing a magnificent show under water of the colorful fish that swim in the area. I just sat on the wrong side of the SUB. Who knew????

My husband and I had a great time! Cousin K was awesome!

I love dinner cruises and have been on quite a few over the years, so I knew I had to go during this visit to Hawaii. We chose the One Star since we love crab and love AYCE crab even more!

Our waiter was very attentive and made sure to keep our plates full of crab, our glasses filled with drinks and would let us know when the sunset would be.

The show was fun, and the musicians are top notch! Although the weather did not cooperate, I will definitely go back again!

We booked for 10 people, but there were no other passengers, so it was a private charter. We enjoyed the leisurely flow of time, the bright blue sky, and the emerald sea while sipping cocktails. Additionally, we were thrilled to see a whale spouting about 200 meters away! The cruiser staff were very friendly, but one small disappointment was that the meeting place was different. It was supposed to be at the pier, but when we arrived on time, we found the reception area at the edge of the hotel building.

10名で申し込みましたが、他に乗船する方が無く、貸切でした。ゆったりと流れる時間と真っ青な空、エメラルドので海、カクテルを飲みながら満喫しました。さらに偶然200メートル位先に、クジラの潮吹きが見れ、とても感動しました！
クルーザーのスタッフはとても親切でよかったのですが、少しだけ残念だったのは集合場所が違っていたことです。桟橋との事で時間までに行ったらホテル建物の端に受付スペースが有ってそちらでした。

I arrived in Hawaii and the next day experienced flying a plane. The following day, we chartered a car to explore from land, and while joking with my family about sightseeing from the sky and land, we made a reservation for the sea at midnight, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out the reservation was successful. We arrived at the meeting point during the day and boarded the boat. I had prepared for getting completely soaked from the splashes of the waves, but there were no waves at all, just a calm sea, and we saw the tail of a whale a couple of times. The view of Waikiki from the sea is special and worth experiencing. If I had to complain, it would be that the operator took time to line up each group for photos before boarding the boat for their business purposes. The goal was to sell the developed photos when disembarking after the cruise, but I thought they should limit that to only those who wanted it. I didn't like their selfishness and had no intention of buying the photos when getting off.

ハワイに到着し、次の日に飛行機操縦体験をし、その次の日は車をチャーターし陸から、そして家族と冗談で空と陸から観光的たので次は海かという話をしながら夜中予約を入れたが朝起きてみたら予約成功。昼間集合場所に着いて船に乗る。波のしぶきで全身濡れるという体験談を見たのでその覚悟で服を用意し乗り込んだが波が全くなく穏やかな海、鯨の尻尾も二回くらい見えた。海から見るワイキキの景色は特別で体験する価値あり。不満を言えば催行者側が商売のために船に乗る前グループ毎に並ばせて写真撮るのに時間かかったこと。クルーズが終わって降りる際に現像した写真を売るのが目的だがそんなもの希望する人だけに絞ればいいのにと思った。その彼らの自分勝手が気にいらず降りる時その写真を買う気なんかしなかった。

I attended the Three Star Lobster and Steak Dinner Cruise and I must say I was amazed at the customer service provided. Being on board with 1,000 passengers, the waiters and staffs did an amazing job with serving each guest on time. Our waitress was a doll, I believe Larissa is her name. The view of the sunset, and Diamond Head was breath taking. This tour is a must if you want to experience Paradise away from the city.

Be careful when selecting which type of meal you like because family members don't get to sit together if you eat something different. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time!

十分楽しかった。元々食事を期待しての参加では無く、ロブスターやヒレ肉は当然無しのバフェでしたが十分食事を楽しめた。５人家族、子供達も全員成人の構成です。
スタッフは一生懸命楽しませてくれたし、男性歌手はまずまずのエンタテイナーです。
たまたまですが、雲の全くない日で海に落ちる夕日は最高。狙ったとおり金曜の晩のヒルトンの花火も盛り上がりました。
毎年訪れるハワイでの１０年ぶりのサンセットディナークルーズでしたが、なかなかバカにしたものではありません。おすすめします。

Excellent experience worth every bit unlimited drinks very friendly and happy crew and the sunset was beautiful a must do

My wife and I took the Maitai Sunset Sail for our wedding anniversary. Our crew, Ian and Lindsey, made the sail fun and Lindsey made sure that our hands never went without a glass. Water was beautifully calm, view from the waterfront was spectacular, and the fireworks just topped it off. I highly recommend this outing to anyone.

We had a lovely time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was execelent. The host & entertainment made for a fun evening.

My girlfriend and I had a fabulous trip going out to turtle Canyon snorkel and then sailing afterwards, the crew was very professional and courteous

This is a wonderful experience in HAWAII. My mum was very affair before. She thought the door off helicopter is not safe. But when she have try. She said it's a wonder time in her life.

My husband and I really enjoyed this cruise. The food was excellent and the sunset was beautiful. I just wish it could have been longer.

3 whales about 100 yards away. I wish I could post some whale pictures.

I have used this service several times before, but this time I enjoyed it with a total of 11 friends from the yacht club. The men were happily watching as a cute woman set the mainsail and jib. Of course, we savored the beautiful scenery of the sunset cruising off Waikiki, the gentle waves, and the swaying sails catching the wind. It was an unforgettable experience for all of us yacht lovers to enjoy the waters of Hawaii. I was truly delighted to have introduced and arranged this cruise, allowing everyone to share in the excitement together.

今までも何度か利用させていただいてますが、今回はヨットクラブの仲間総勢１１名で楽しませていただきました。メインもジブも、キュートな女性がセットする様子を男性陣はニコニコと楽しんでいました。もちろん、ワイキキ沖のサンセットクルージングの風景や風、ここちよい波の揺れと風を受ける帆のゆらぎ、ヨット好きの面子にはたまらないハワイの海を堪能しました。ご紹介して手配して、皆さまをご一緒にクルーズに乗っていただいて感動を共有できましたこと、本当にうれしく思いました。

We had a great day along with our 2 year old daughter
Saw whales quite a few times along with some calves
Even the boat ride was great to get in the views
Taking a camera is a must

The ride was beautiful.. The best way to know all the island..

It was a sunset that gave me a satisfaction level of 120%, as if to say, "Such a beautiful place exists on Earth." The captain was handsome, haha. Beyond where the captain was pointing, were those whales? Dolphins? I couldn't understand the English, so I wasn't sure, but about two appeared! A few times.

There was no Japanese at all, so I didn't understand any explanations, but that was totally fine, haha. Just a point to note: the cruise ship doesn't have a restroom, so make sure to take care of that beforehand, and you might get wet up to your knees when boarding, so wearing clothes that can get wet and flip-flops is recommended. On the way back, I gave a tip to the captain and the woman who made drinks for us.

Also, before boarding the ship, they take a photo of you, but after it's done, they hand you the finished photo as if it's a complimentary service, but of course, it's not free, haha. It's $20, which is quite expensive, haha. But it made for some really great memories!! I had a lot of fun (^ - ^)

こんな綺麗な場所が地球上にあるんだ。。と言うくらいの満足度120%のサンセットでした。。
キャプテンがイケメンでしたw
そのキャプテンが指差す向こうには、あれはくじら？イルカ？英語が聞き取れなかったのでわからなかったですが、2匹くらい出現しました！何回か。
日本語は一切ないので、説明も一切分かりませんでしたが、全然大丈夫でしたww
ただ注意する点は、クルーズ船にはトイレがないので直前に済ませておくことと、乗り込む時に膝下まで濡れるので濡れていい服、ビーサンなどがオススメです。帰りにはキャプテンとお酒を作ってくれる女性にチップを渡しました。
それと、船に乗り込む前に写真を撮ってくれるのですが、終わった後出来上がった写真をあたかもサービスのようにして渡してきますが、もちろんタダではありませんw
$20で激高ですwww
でも、とてもいい思い出作りになりました！！
楽しかったです(^-^)

I participated with the mindset that it was understandable not to see whales since they are wild creatures, but I was able to confirm several spouts and tails from a distance. What excited me the most was when a pod of dolphins appeared and swam alongside the boat for a long time. I was sitting at the best position at the bow, watching them up close! The staff members were also so engrossed in dolphin watching that they set their work aside—such a laid-back vibe in tropical Hawaii (laughs). I wonder if this is a really rare occurrence.

It felt like the dolphins and whales were welcoming me to Hawaii, and it made me feel so happy.

The Japanese guide's Japanese was quite questionable, though (laughs). At the hotel and restaurants, everyone spoke fluent Japanese, so it stood out even more (laughs). It might not have much meaning if the explanation isn't in Japanese. But I was very satisfied, so I give it ★5!

自然の生き物なのでクジラに会えなくても仕方ないと心づもりして参加しましたが、
遠目とはいえ、何度も潮吹きや尾びれを確認できました。
何といっても興奮したのはイルカの群れが現れ、ずっと船と並走してくれたこと。
ベストポジションの船首に座っていたので、かぶりつきで眺めていました～～
スタッフの人たちもお仕事そっちのけでイルカウォッチングしてて
さすがおおらかな南国ハワイ（笑）もしかしてすごく珍しいことなんでしょうか。

ハワイにようこそ！ってイルカやクジラたちに歓迎してもらったようで、
幸せな気分になりました。

日本語ガイドさんの日本語はかなり怪しかったですけどね（笑）
ホテルでもレストランでもみなさん流暢な日本語を駆使されるので
際立つ怪しさ（笑）解説が日本語でないとあまり意味がないかな。
でも大満足でしたので★５つ！

I was able to see it from a pretty good seat nearby. It was full of excitement and I really enjoyed it. The food was also satisfactory, and I think it's worth experiencing at least once.

結構近くの良い席で見れました。迫力満点で楽しめました。
料理もまぁ満足できる内容で、一度は体験してみてもいいのではないかと思います。

I participated this morning.

The description stating that there would be an explanation by a marine biology expert about whales in Japanese is completely false. All explanations on the Navatic were in English from the pickup bus. I wouldn't have chosen this tour if there was no Japanese explanation, so I would like a refund. I wonder why I compared various tours...

I feel like the experience has been ruined not just on the day of the tour, but from the preparation period leading up to it.

今日の午前中に参加しました。

クジラについての海洋生物専門家による解説（日本語）というのは、まったくの嘘の表記です。
ピックアップのバスから、ナバティック号での説明全てが英語です。
日本語の説明がないなら選ばなかったツアーなので、返金してほしいです。
何の為に色々なツアーを比較したのだか、、、

ツアー当日だけでなく、その前の準備期間から台無しになった気分です。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I joined for the first time with a large group of eight, including my spouse, daughter, and grandchildren, thinking it would be easy and fun nearby. The scenery was more beautiful than I expected, and the leisurely time was luxurious... I truly felt this is the way to enjoy Hawaii. With this tour, it's great to join alone, and I want to participate every time I come to Hawaii.

ハワイへは何度もきていますが、今回は夫婦娘孫８名の大所帯でしたので、近場で気軽に楽しめると思い初めての参加申込でした。　期待以上の素晴らしい景色と、贅沢なほどのゆったりした時間…　　　これぞ『ハワイの楽しみ方』と実感しました。　　このツアーであれば、一人での参加もいいし、ハワイにきたら毎回参加したいツアーです。

This is my second time participating. Three years ago, when I joined, we had to carry the surfboards from the shop to the beach ourselves, which was quite heavy and challenging. However, it has improved, and now we only need to transport them from the car parked by the beach to the water's edge! This is much easier.

I signed up for a group lesson, but since there were only two of us that day, it turned into a semi-private lesson, which was lucky. The timing was perfect, and I was able to stand up properly from the first try! The instructor spoke mostly English, but once we were out in the water, we only needed to use commands like "paddle" and "stand," so it wasn't a problem if you didn't speak English. Occasionally, they checked on us in a mix of Japanese, asking things like "Are you tired?" (laughs).

The group doing stand-up paddleboarding at the same time also let us surf towards the end. All the staff were friendly, and I had a great time participating again.

2度目の参加です。3年前に参加した時はサーフボードをショップからビーチまで自分たちで運ばなければならず結構重くて大変だったのですが、改善されてビーチサイドに止めた車から波打ち際まで運ぶだけで良くなっていました！これは楽チン。

グループレッスンを申し込みましたがこの日は二人だけだったので、セミプライベートになりラッキー。タイミング良く波に乗せてくれるので、1回目からちゃんと立つことができました！
担当してくれた方はほとんど英語ですが、沖に出てしまえば「漕いで」「立って」くらいしか使わないので英語が出来なくても問題ないです。時々日本語まじりで「ツカレタ？」などと気遣ってくれました(笑)
同じ時間にスタンドアップパドルをしていたグループも最後の方にはパドルを置いてサーフィンをさせてくれていましたよ。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで今回も楽しく参加できました。

I applied with my father, mother, younger sister, and myself!
My sister and I are on our third overseas trip, while it's my parents' first.
Last time we came to Oahu, we wanted to try this, but when we attempted to make a reservation on-site, it was already fully booked, so we decided to carry it over to this time. I recommend making a reservation in Japan.
We were the only Japanese participants, but the crew was very kind and communicated with us in broken Japanese.
During the cruise, cocktails and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there was atmospheric music, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike! There were also portable toilets, which was reassuring.
Of course, the sunset was absolutely satisfying! Although it was a bit cloudy that day, we were still able to have a wonderful time feeling the Hawaiian breeze.
As the sun began to set, it got a little chilly, so it's good to have a windbreaker or hoodie during this season.
I plan to visit again with friends in May, and I would like to participate again then!

父と母、妹と私の4人で申し込みました‼
妹と私は3度目、父と母は初めての海外旅行でした。
前回、オアフに来たときに乗ってみたい!!と現地で予約を試みたのですが、すでに予約がいっぱいで今回に持ち越すことになりました。日本で予約するのがオススメです。
日本人の参加者は私たちだけでしたが、クルーがとっても親切でカタコトの日本語で対応をしてくれました。
Cruise中はカクテルやソフトドリンクは飲み放題、雰囲気のあるmusicも流れていて家族でもカップルでも友達同士でも楽しめそうです♪簡易トイレもついているので安心です。
もちろんsunsetも大満足!!!!この日は少し曇っていましたが、それでもハワイの風を感じながら最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
日が暮れ始めると肌寒くなってくるので、この時期は風よけのパーカーなどがあるといいですね。
5月にまた友人と訪れる予定ですが、そのときにもまた参加したいと思います‼

This was my second time participating. I had a great time for a full two hours. However, when boarding the boat, there was a system where photos were taken by group, and then shown to us when we disembarked, which was a bit confusing. It costs $20. I didn't buy one, but I felt bad about declining. There are probably people who want the photos, so I think it would be better to only take pictures for those who request them. The staff is friendly.

今回で２回目の参加でした。たっぷり二時間楽しめました。
ただ、船に乗り込むとき、グループごとに写真を撮り、下船したとき見せられるシステムになっていて､戸惑いました。２０ドルです。私は買いませんでしたが、ことわるのが悪いような気がしました。写真がほしい方もいるでしょうから、リクエストある方だけ撮るようにしたほうが良いとおもいます。　スタッフはフレンドリーです。

On the night of our wedding in Hawaii, we went with both families! When making the reservation, I was torn between the buffet and the VIP dinner, but since it was both our wedding day and my birthday, I decided to go for the VIP dinner. The food was delicious, featuring lobster, steak, and salmon, all beautifully presented.

During the show, an Elvis impersonator came down from the stage to hug us and even gave us leis. My mother, who is from the Elvis generation, was thrilled with the lei and the hug! He also visited the second-floor seats. The performances by Elvis, Gaga, and Michael, along with the hula show, were all so much fun!

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos with Elvis, Gaga, and Michael! I even got a signature on a photo I had purchased in advance. When I told Elvis that it was my birthday and wedding day, he congratulated me and gifted me the scarf he was wearing around his neck! Even though he was an impersonator, I felt like I had met the real deal, and it was so exciting (laughs).

It seemed like my family enjoyed it too, and it turned out to be a wonderful night! I would love to see other impersonators next time!

ハワイ挙式当日の夜に、両家家族みんなで行きました！
予約する時に、ビュッフェとVIPディナーと迷ったのですが、挙式当日＆自分の誕生日というのもあって、せっかくならと思い、VIPディナーにしました。
お料理はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなど、どれもおいしく、見た目も楽しめました。
ショーでは、プレスリー（のそっくりさん）がステージから降りてきてハグしてくれたり、レイをプレゼントしてくれたりします。
プレスリー世代の母は、レイのプレゼント＆ハグに興奮してました！
2階席にも行ってくれてました。
プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのステージ、フラショー、全部楽しかったです！
ショー終了後は、プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルと記念写真が撮れます！
私は事前に購入した写真にサインもして頂きました。
プレスリーに今日誕生日＆結婚式だったと伝えると、おめでとうと首にかけていたスカーフをプレゼントしてくれました！
そっくりさんなのに、本物に会ったかのようにテンションあがってしまいました（笑）
家族も楽しんでくれたようで、とってもステキな夜になりました！
今度は他のそっくりさんも観てみたいです！

The ship and crew are lovely and we saw a pod of 3 whales come up 3 times, but it felt too brief. We were in one location the whole time and before you knew it we were heading back. Maybe thats what all whale watching tours are like. If there was a longer option I'd do that next time.
