All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

We had a fantastic time...beautiful scenery and great guides (Jake and McCuddy (spelling?)). Swam with the fish and a bunch of turtles and got great pics. Too bad my husband and I got sick after the snorkeling adventure. It had nothing to do with them, I guess we're just not cut out for boating, but they guides were great and took it all in stride. We did our best to still enjoy the ride back. Thanks for a great morning!

- It's close to the stage, but since it's just one table away, it's not that different.
- You can receive a lei made of fresh flowers.
- You can go get your food early during the meal.

So, honestly, a regular seat is perfectly fine. The food is the same. The show was absolutely wonderful.
I received a message that the meeting time is at 5 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM and the show starts around 6 or 7 PM, so I think it would be better to arrive a bit later to avoid the line at the entrance.

ーステージに近い、でもテーブル1個分なのでそんなに違わない
ー生の花のレイがもらえる
ー食事のとき早めに取りに行ける

なので、正直普通の席で問題ありません。食事も同じ。
ショーはとっても素晴らしかったです。
集合時間17時と連絡ありますが、開場が17時でショーは18時、19時くらいから始まるので
ちょっとずらしてきたほうが入口の行列に並ばなくてすむとおもいます。

It was my first experience, and I was satisfied to be able to stand on the surfboard. Since it was a shallow area, two friends who accompanied me got injured on their feet by rocks when they fell off the board. I think the water depth varies with the tides, but I believe it's important to be cautious about injuries during the experience.

初めての体験でしたが、サーフボードに立つことができ満足です。水深が浅い場所での体験でしたので、同行した友人2人は、ボードから落ちた際、岩で足を怪我をしました。潮の満ち引きにより水深は違うと思いますが、体験の際は怪我には注意されると良いと思います。

We participated as a couple. We were impressed by the service spirit of the three crew members. Their conversations included exquisite wit, and their hospitality was on par with that of the Japanese. With about 20 customers, I believe everyone was satisfied.

夫婦で参加。3人いたクルーのサービス精神に感動。絶妙なウイットを盛り込んだ会話、おもてなしの心も日本人顔負け。20人ほどのお客様、誰もが満足したと思う。

I took my best friend and 14 year old son on this dinner cruise. We arrived early, got good seats. The dinner was delicious, the staff was very friendly and informative, and the view was gorgeous and priceless!! We went on the cruise on Friday evening so we were able to enjoy the fireworks as well as the beautiful ocean, sunset and view of O'ahu from the sea. Everyone definitely must add this to their to do list even if born and raised in Honolulu!!

Such a great sail. Well looked after. So much fun.

I boarded the submarine expecting an underwater stroll in the waters of Hawaii, but to be honest, I was disappointed. The water was murky, making it hard to see, and my whole family got bored halfway through. Additionally, the commentary in Japanese was repetitive, which eventually made us feel sleepy. The father from the family next to us fell asleep partway through. I wish they had considered different diving spots when planning the tour.

潜水艦に乗ってハワイの海中散歩を期待して乗船しましたが、正直がっかりしました。海中が濁っていてよく見えず、家族全員途中で飽きてしまい、また日本語での解説も同じことの繰り返しで最後は眠気を催しました。隣の家族連れのお父さんは途中から眠ってしまいました。もう少し潜る場所を考えてツアーを企画してほしかったです。

We had a great time! I would recommend it for a fun night.

This was my second sunset cruise. I made a reservation from Japan. It seems to be quite popular, and it's sometimes hard to get a spot with local bookings. The restrooms are not very clean, but they are available. If you ask the crew, they will guide you. If you're worried about seasickness, I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. In winter, I think it might be a bit cold for the sunset, so it's a must-do when visiting Hawaii in the summer.

2回目のサンセットクルーズ。日本から予約していきました。人気があるようで、現地予約では、とれないことも。
トイレも綺麗ではないですが、一応あります。クルーに尋ねると教えてくれます。船酔いが心配な方は、事前に酔い止めを飲まれることをお勧めします。
冬は、サンセットは少し寒いカナと思うので夏場にハワイを訪れた時のmustです。

Good food, entertainment & of course the view! Beautiful!

This was relaxing and awesome! We got to see turtles and dolphins on this sailing cruise. You get to see the beautiful view of the city and diamond head. Great price for this!

On the second day of our honeymoon in Hawaii, we participated in this cruise. There was one other Japanese couple besides us. As mentioned in the reviews, there were many foreign participants. Some even brought along their 0-year-old children!

The Mai Tai served was incredibly delicious! However, I was worried about the restroom situation, so I couldn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked... If only the restrooms were properly managed! I think it would have been an outstanding cruise.

ハワイへの新婚旅行の２日目にこちらのクルーズに参加しました。
日本人は私たちの他にもう一組。
口コミ通り外国人の参加者が多かったです。
中には0歳時のお子ちゃま連れも！

サーブされたマイタイはめちゃくちゃおいしかったです！
ただトイレの心配が先立ち、あまり頂けなかったのが残念……。
トイレさえちゃんとあれば！
文句なしのクルーズだったと思います。

When our original fireworks sail was canceled, we were told this sail would be comparable. However, when the confirmation was sent it clearly stated we would not see the fireworks regularly scheduled on Friday evenings since we would be ashore before the fireworks began. We were devastated. BUT... much to our surprise and NOT mentioned on line or the confirmation/voucher documents, we sailed amidst the local sailboat club's Friday sunset "race". It was absolutely breathtaking to sail with several other boats in the sunset. The crew make some awesome Maitai's too! Enjoy!!!

The beauty of the catamaran, where you can feel close to the ocean, was something I experienced last year when I was lucky enough to encounter sea turtles and dolphins during the daytime. This year, I joined to see the beautiful sunset. When we set sail, there were many clouds, and I worried whether we would be able to see the sunset, but soon it cleared up, and we enjoyed about two hours of sailing. The scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head changing with the light of the sunset, the endlessly deep blue sea, and the breathtaking beauty of the sunset shining even more brightly at dusk were all unforgettable. Although we were the only Japanese on the catamaran, which felt completely foreign, we shared the emotion of the beautiful sunset and took photos together, feeling the goodness of peace despite our different backgrounds. (We had visited Pearl Harbor during the day.) Drinks were free, with unlimited Mai Tais and soft drinks. (I brought snacks purchased at ABC Store.) While the foreign guests seemed fine, it was quite chilly on the water, and I was glad I brought a long-sleeve shirt. (If I participate again, I plan to bring socks as well.) The crew spoke only English, so I didn't quite understand the explanation about the restroom... It seemed like you had to open the lid and go down to use it. (We followed the advice from reviews and used the restroom just before boarding.) By the time the sunset was over and we returned to the Sheraton beach, everything around us was dyed pink, creating a beautiful memory that felt like a dream. There was a box for tips when disembarking, so I think it's a good idea to bring a little money.

海を近くに感じられるカタマラン号の良さは，昨年昼間にホヌやイルカに出会うというラッキーもあって，経験済みでした。今年は，美しい夕陽を見たいと参加しました。出航時は雲が多く，夕陽は見られるかしらと心配しましたが，ほどなく晴れ，二時間ばかりのセーリングを楽しみました。夕陽に照らされて刻々と変わっていくワイキキやダイアモンドヘッド等の風景，どこまでも碧く藍色の海，そして日の入り時に一層まばゆく輝く夕陽の美しさ。日本人は，私達だけという完全アウェイ状態のカタマラン号の中でしたが，人種は違っても，美しい夕陽に共に感動したり，写真を取り合ったりと平和の良さもしみじみ感じました。（昼間，パールハーバーを訪れていたので。）飲み物はFreeドリンク。マイタイ，ソフトドリンク飲み放題。（ABCストアで買ったおつまみ持参しました。）外国の方達は平気そうでしたが，海上はとても肌寒く，長袖持参していて良かったです。（次回参加することがあれば，靴下も持って行くつもりです。）クルーの方達は英語のみなので，トイレの説明をされたようですが，よく分からず・・・。どうやら蓋を開けて下に行って用を足していました。（私達は，口コミのアドバイス通りに，乗船間際にトイレを済ませておきました。）夕陽が沈み，シェラトンの浜辺に帰る頃は，辺り一面ピンク色に染まり，夢のような美しい思い出になりました。下船時にチップを入れる箱がありました。少しのお金を持参されるのが良いかなと思います。

Really enjoyed the sail - is the right amount of time and a great way to see Waikiki. Our daughter enjoyed going over the waves and watching sailing in action. Only problem was the on board music. Loud 60/70s rock music - what a way to spoil a peaceful sail! Got to be a better playlist out there for sailing - or how about listening to the waves?!

This year, I chose a different Mai Tai catamaran than the one I rode last year. The departure location was a bit hard to find, as it was behind the Sheraton Waikiki, but fortunately, the people I shared the ride with, including some foreigners, were all very nice. We had a great time taking pictures together and enjoying each other's company. I definitely want to do this again when I come back to Waikiki.

今年は昨年乗ったのとちがうこのマイタイカタマラン号をチョイスしました。出発場所はシェラトンワイキキの裏側とちょっと分かりにくかったのですが、幸いかどうかわかりませんが、乗りあった人たちが、外人の方も含め非常に良い方たちばかりで、みんなで和気あいあいと写真を撮り合ったりと非常に楽しい時間を過ごせました。またワイキキに来たら必ずオプションしたいと思います。

My partner and me really enjoyed on this cruise. Beautiful dinner, very helpful friendly crew and could see romantic sunset. I have joined this cruise 3rd times. every time never have any disappoint!! We are middle age couple. this cruise is great for family, girls group, boys group, big group, young people and old people everyone as well!!

My wife and I had a great time on the sunset cruise. Made some great new friends form Germany and Australia, and the drinks kept comin'! We would recomment this one to anyone looking for fun on the water. It's a little more than some others, but that helps keep the kids away. If you are looking for a booze cruise without the screaming children, this is the one!

it was my first time went on the dinner cruise since I live in Hawaii for 20 years, I really enjoy the steak and loster dinner, the workers were very friendly and helpful, that made me feel like I was having a family dinner with my family. The manager name Joey especially came serveral times to visit us and made sure everything was okay, we have a great time in Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise!!!

Great time. My daughter got sea sicked but other than we had a lot of fun.

I was able to see the whale's tail for a moment. It seems that it's quite rare to see them in the way depicted in photos. The scenery alone is enjoyable enough. Spotting whales depends on luck.

鯨の尻尾が一瞬ですが、みれました。　なかなか写真のような姿は見れないようです。景色だけでも十分楽しめます。鯨は運に左右されます。

Very nice boat and crew. Good drinks but would have preferred an open bar like the Island Magic. Delightful sail. Would do again.

Delightful evening sail with an open bar. It was FUN and a gorgeous sail. Loved the crew. Great job guys!

We had a better time than expected. My daughter got motion sickness but everyone had a great time.

Waikiki was the destination of our honeymoon and a Fireworks Cocktail Cruise sounded perfect! I didn't anticipate how DARK it would be when arriving to the boat. It should have been obvious...but I didn't think about it. It was cumbersome to board the boat due to the tide and needing to board from another area a catamaran had left from. This meant we had to walk over a concrete divide that had been slightly eroded to access the ship. Was a little tricky.
The staff for the event was great. Full of energy and kept everyone informed of what was happening. The boat was full of happy tourists ready to party. Drinks flowed quickly and if you were adept enough to weave through the crowd in bobbing waves--there was not problem in accessing beverages. Since it was super dark, it was hard to see how to get around the boat. We unfortunately sat by the toilet on deck which was hysterical. It basically was a clear plastic top that opened and you climbed down stairs that felt like a propped up ladder. Inside it was really tight to move (duh, it's a catamaran). My husband said he didn't know how women would actually use it if they needed to sit. Best of all was---since it was so dark, the only light you could see was from the toilet; and if you were down there...EVERYONE could look down and see you. It was one of my favorite take-aways from the experience.

Overall the cruise was fun, staff was great, and drinks were solid. Hard part is having only a few minutes of fireworks...and then floating around in the dark with a boombox and sitting next to the bathroom.

If I was to book a cocktail cruise again...I'd choose the happy hour to enjoy the sunset.

Crew was great, they treated you like long time friends.
The drinks were awesome and not the watered down ones you get with other all you can drink tours. Part of the fun was getting on and off the boat.
Only negative comment was that the head had a see through hatch, but I would do this trip again. I highly recommend this sail trip.

We had a wonderful time. Beautiful cruise. Do not waste your time with the additional City Lights tour, though. Better to drive on your own to see these.

My family enjoyed this beautiful state
Park.
So beautiful. Peacful

Absolutely recommended!!!!!!!

Last time (last year) it was canceled due to a hurricane. This was my second try.

The boat was full. I think there were about 40 people on board. Japanese was not spoken. There was one other group of Japanese guests, probably.

I was worried about seasickness (I usually get seasick easily), but no problem!!!

I enjoyed the view of Waikiki from the sea,

and then,

I was so excited by the sea, the rainbow, the dolphins, and the sunset that I couldn't focus on anything else^^

The Mai Tai was close to orange juice, but I had three cups. I think this amount is just right. If it were stronger in alcohol, I would probably get seasick.

The cocktails were only Mai Tai. There were other juices available.

Anyway, I was moved by the sea, the rainbow, the dolphins, and the sunset. The dolphins seemed to be playing with the boat in groups.

I want to ride again next time!!!

Without a doubt, it's a hall of fame experience.

絶対オススメ！！！！！！！

前回（去年）申込時に、ハリケーンで中止に。
再度のトライでした。

船は、満員。40名位乗ってたんじゃないかと思います。
日本語は、通じません。
日本人のお客さんも他1組、多分。

船酔いを気にしてましたが（普段酔いやすいタイプです）
ノープロブレム！！！

ワイキキを海から眺め、

そして、

海と虹とイルカと夕陽に
興奮でそれどころじゃなかったです^^

マイタイは、オレンジジュースに近かったけれど、3杯飲みました。
多分このくらいが良いのでしょう。
アルコール強めだと船酔いしちゃうでしょうね。

カクテルは、マイタイのみ。
他はジュースがありました。

とにかく、海と虹とイルカと夕陽に感動。
イルカは群れになって船とじゃれあってるみたいでした。

次もまた乗りたい！！！

間違いなく、殿堂入りです。

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii. This time, I visited for my niece's wedding, and a friend recommended that I definitely check it out! Elvis, Gaga, Michael Jackson... it was so much fun! The dinner, which even included lobster, was satisfying for the price! I also enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the night streets! I highly recommend it for those who want to relax on Oahu!

６度目のハワイ。今回は姪の結婚式での訪問だったので、友人に「絶対いいよ！」と薦められて観させていただきました。エルビス、ガガ、マイケルジャクソン。。。おもしろかった！楽しかった！ロブスターまであったディナーもあのお値段にしては満足です(^^♪
のんびり散歩しながら夜の街も満喫できました！
オワフ島でのんびりしたい方にはおすすめです！
