All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The whole experience was excellent from time I got picked up until drop off back at my Hotel. Our pilot was knowledgeable and a great guide for all of Oahu highlights. I am not great with heights but I would have no problems in doing this tour again or recommending it to others.

I was skeptical about whether we would really see whales, but we encountered many of them. The whale tails visible from the sea were truly adorable.

本当に鯨が見られるか半信半疑でしたが、沢山の鯨たちにあえました。
海から見える鯨のしっぽは本当にかわいかったです

It was very convenient to depart from the beach in front of the Sheraton Hotel where we stayed. There were about 50 people on board, and we were the only four Japanese. All the crew and other passengers looked foreign, and the language was English ONLY, so we couldn't understand the detailed explanations at all, but it actually made it feel more like we were abroad, which was fun.

Feeling the wind and the splashes of the waves while watching the sunset over Waikiki Beach created a sense of unity that you can't experience on a large ship, and it was the best.

Although there is a restroom available, it seems you have to open a lid about 50 cm on the deck and go down a vertical ladder (I saw two men go down), so I wouldn't recommend it for women.

私たちが泊まっていたシェラトンホテル前ビーチからの出航でとても便利でした。
定員50人ほどで、日本人は私たち4人だけ、クルー他乗客全員見た目も外人、言葉も英語ONLYで、細かな説明などはサッパリわかりませんでしたが、反って外国に来た感おお有りで楽しかったです。
風と波しぶきを感じながら、ワイキキビーチの夕暮れ、サンセットを見られて、大型船では味わえない一体感が最高でした。
お手洗いは有りとなってますが、デッキにある50㎝くらいの蓋を開けて、垂直はしごを降りていくようで（男性が2人ほどいかれてましたが）女性にはおすすめできません。

Since I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii, I thought I might be overwhelmed by sleepiness, but time flew by in no time. When I arrived at the meeting time, I first received a brief orientation, and while walking, I encountered someone who looked so much like Michael that two people couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" In the excitement, we took a commemorative photo with him (we took the photo not in the room but along the way). Later, we received a set of photos featuring Michael, Gaga, and Presley as a gift. Before the excitement wore off, we arrived at the green room. It was a very luxurious space where we first enjoyed drinks, appetizers, fruits, and nuts while taking a short break.

After a while, we were guided backstage. We were shown areas that are usually off-limits to the audience, along with explanations of props and stage equipment, and we even got to handle some of them. It was a very enjoyable time taking photos on stage. All explanations were in English, but they were delivered slowly with gestures, so I think it was easy to understand.

Finally, it was time for dinner. Our seats were right in the front and center. I expected large American-sized portions of meat, but we were served lobster, followed by steak and salmon, all of which were very delicious. The dessert cake might have been a bit too sweet.

The long-awaited show began, and Presley greeted the audience with handshakes and hugs, bringing smiles to everyone. With Gaga and Michael appearing, the excitement level rose. Of course, aside from the three of them, we were mesmerized by the hula dance and thrilled by the fire dance, and once again, time flew by. But that wasn't the end. After the show, Michael, Gaga, and Presley came out for commemorative photos and autographs. We received their signatures in the album we were gifted, and it ended in a mix of emotion and excitement.

My friends said they definitely want to participate next time. Of course, we are also looking forward to the next opportunity. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

ハワイ到着した日に参加したので睡魔が襲ってくるかと思いきやあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。集合時間に行くとまず簡単な案内をうけながら歩いていると「キャー」と二人が声を出してしまうほど似ていたマイケルに出会いました。興奮の中三人での記念撮影（私たちは部屋でなく途中で撮影でした）あとでマイケル、ガガ、プレスリーの三人の写真とセットにしてプレゼントされます。興奮さめない間にグリーンルームに到着。とても豪華な部屋でまずドリンク、オードブル、フルーツ、ナッツ等つまんでしばし休憩。
しばらくするとバックステージに案内されます。普段立ち入れない出演者の部屋や小物類、大道具、小道具の説明があり実際に手に取ることが出来たり舞台の上で写真を撮りとても楽しい時間でした。すべて英語での説明になりますがゆっくりと手ぶりを混ぜながらですのでわかりやすいかと思います。
いよいよディナー。案内された席は最前のど真ん中。食事もアメリカサイズの大きな肉の塊が出るかと思ったらロブスター、次にステーキとサーモンがでてとても美味しくいただきました。デザートのケーキはやや甘かったかも。
待ちに待ったショーが始まりまずプレスリーが観客に握手やハグでみんなが笑顔。ガガ、マイケルが出てテンションもアップ。もちろん三人以外にフラダンスにうっとり、ファイヤーダンスにハラハラドキドキしまたまたあっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。でもこれで終わりではないです。最後にショー終了後マイケル、ガガ、プレスリーが記念写真やサインに応えてくれます。プレゼントされたアルバムに三人のサインをいただき感動と興奮の中終わりました。
友達も次回はぜひ参加したいと。もちろん私たちも次回またありです。
楽しい夜をありがとうございました。

We had a great time on the sail and the swim with the turtles. The crew was great, you can tell they really love what they do and want to make sure your excursion is a memorable one. We would do it again.

this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D

If you like Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Gaga, I highly recommend you see and enjoy this! I signed up for the Hawaiian buffet dinner & show, so it includes a meal. The food was delicious and catered to Japanese tastes. During the meal, they also show Hawaiian songs and hula dancing. The show, featuring Hawaiian music, dance, and songs from famous singers, was fantastic! I would love to see it again if I have the chance!

プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、マドンナ、ガガをお好きな方には是非見て、楽しんでいただきたいです。（ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショー）を申し込みましたので食事付です。食事も日本人向きの美味しいご馳走でした。食事中もハワイの歌やフラダンスを見せてくれます。ショーはハワイの音楽と踊り、有名歌手の歌で最高でした！機会があればもう１度見たいです！！

Everything was excellent! The weather didn't cooperate, but the captain was nice enough to offer opportunities to reschedule for another night without any charges. Unfortunately this was our last chance to go, and thankfully they were up for it if we were! Everyone was so friendly and the drinks were great. The service was very prompt and even with the monsoon weather we were having it was still an awesome time on the water. We had a blast!!!!

We booked a sunset cruise for our family.

We arrived at the meeting point 10 minutes before the scheduled time, but even after the meeting time had passed, neither the boat nor the staff showed up. I called the tour company, but it went to voicemail. The payment had been processed via credit card two months prior, which made me very worried.

In the end, we waited for an hour past the departure time and were informed via email the next day that it had been canceled.

As a result, we wasted precious time on our last day in Hawaii, and it left us with a very unpleasant memory.

I recommend keeping this in mind when making a reservation.

家族でサンセットクルーズを予約しました。

当日10分前から集合場所にいましたが、集合時間を過ぎても船も係員も現れず、催行会社に電話を掛けるも留守電応対。
2ヶ月も前に代金はクレジット決済されており、非常に心配になりました。

結局、出発時間過ぎまで１時間も待たされ、メールの返信で翌日になって中止になった事を知らされました。

この為、ハワイ最終日の貴重な時間を無駄に過ごし、後味も非常に悪い思い出となりました。

こうした事があることを念頭に置き、申し込まれる事をお勧めします。

I've never expected such a great things on this because I cancelled other cruise activity (Atlantis) and there were not enough reviews on Holokai Catamaran Sunset cruise. But right now, I strongly recommend this for everyone. I don't know how romantic and luxurious big cruises are, but can say definitely NOT BETTER THAN THIS!! Crews were nice, cruise duration was enough and people were not crowed so that we could enjoy our time & place enough. If I visit Hawaii again, I'll do this again. Thanks for your effort!!

Eddie.

Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking

The Friday night cruise food was very good and the dancers and live band were excellent. It was a fun filled evening with an opportunity to meet new friends from around the globe.

This was my first time attending. I reserved a premium seat. I'm not sure how much of the seating is taken up by the premium seats, but I was guided to the front row on the second floor, directly in front. Therefore, there was nothing to obstruct the show, and I enjoyed it 120%. At the end, Elvis came to our seats and shook hands, which was a fantastic experience as an entertainer.

Additionally, there were authentic performances featuring Gaga, Michael, hula dancing, fire dancing, and more. It was a lot of fun.

初めての観覧です。プレミアシートで予約しました。プレミアシートが席のどの程度を占めているのか分かりませんが、2階の最前列で真正面の位置に案内されました。従って、ショーを遮るものはなく120%楽しめました。ラストの方でエルビスが席まで来て握手をするなど、エンターテナーを満喫しました。
その他、ガガ、マイケル、フラダンス、ファイアーダンス等、本格的なショーでした。
楽しかったです。

The boat had a bar and restrooms, so I thought it might be a large vessel, but it turned out to be a wide open-deck boat! I accidentally came in sneakers, but as mentioned in the instructions, you walk through shallow water to board. Depending on the wave height, you might get wet up to your knees, so I definitely felt that short, easy-to-roll-up clothes and easy-to-remove sandals are necessary. It also seems like having a towel would be good since your feet get wet when disembarking.

They take photos of each group as you board. It seems that you can purchase them if you want one when you disembark.

With a cheerful and handsome captain's greeting, we set sail! After a brief explanation, the crew served us Mai Tais. The boat sways quite a bit when the waves are high, so be careful not to drink too much!

The atmosphere was enhanced by good music and the beautiful views of Waikiki; cruising on the open deck was truly an elegant experience. It was a stunning sunny day, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I would love to repeat this experience!

バーもあってトイレもついて…なので大きい船なのかなぁと思っていたら、オープンデッキの幅広の船でした！うっかりスニーカーで来てしまったんですが、案内に書いてた通りに乗るときは浅瀬を歩きます。波の高さによっては膝くらいまで濡れるときもあるので、丈の短い服が捲れる服、脱ぎやすいサンダルが確かに必要だなぁと感じました。降りるときも足濡れるのでタオルとかあった方が良さそうです。
乗り込む際には１組ずつ写真を撮ってくれます。降りる際に欲しい人は購入できる仕組みになってるようです。
陽気でイケメンキャプテンの挨拶と同時にセーリングは出発！一通りの説明のあとクルーがマイタイを振る舞ってくれます。波が高いと船も結構揺れるので飲み過ぎには注意！
雰囲気の良い音楽と美しいワイキキの景色、オープンデッキでのクルージングはまさに優雅な時間でした。この日は見事な晴天で、美しいサンセットが見れました。またハワイに来る機会があればリピートしたいです!!

I had a great time on the cruise! I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes to drink! We had a beautiful scenery and the boat was so well maintained! The two gentelman that were in charge of the boat were very hospitable and took great care of us!

This was, by far, the best 50 dollars I spent on my trip to Hawaii. Captain Ryan and Philippe were fun, safe, and on top of customer service!

I asked a friend living in Hawaii if there was a place where families could go to see a Hawaiian show, and they recommended this show!

The first part of the show was quite relaxed. My dad seemed to be wondering when it would really start (laughs). Also, the MC spoke in English, so I think those who don't understand English might not catch what was being said at all...

The seats were perfectly fine even at the cheaper price! However, the seats were quite close to the strangers next to us, making it a bit difficult to move around (´･_･`).

The show itself was really impressive and powerful in the second half. The first part might be a little boring, though.

The buffet had a lot of variety, and as a meat lover, it was fantastic for me! There were also vegetables, fruits, and rolls, so I think even those who aren't fond of American food will find something to eat!

ハワイ在住の知り合いから、家族で行けてハワイアンショーが見れるところはないか？と聞いたところ、このショーを教えてもらいました！
最初のショーが結構ゆったりしていました。父は結構まだかみたいな雰囲気でした（笑）そして、MCは英語なので、英語分からない方は何を言ってるか全然わからないと思います、、
席は安い方でも全然十分でした！ただ隣の見知らぬ人ともかなり席が近くて少し動きずらいです(´･_･`)
ショー自体は後半はすごく迫力のある素晴らしいショーでした。途中までは少し退屈かもしれないですね。
ビュッフェもたくさん種類があり、お肉好きの私にとっては最高でした！野菜やフルーツ、巻物などもあったので、アメリカの御飯苦手な方でも少しは食べるものがあると思います！

My 9-year-old child participated and had a great time. They were able to stand up on the board in just one session and now want to continue surfing. The instructor was a foreigner, so I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand some English. By the way, my child can speak, so it seems they had a lot of fun! They also said the instructor was cool.

子供1人『9歳』が参加して最高だった、一回で立てて今後もサーフィンをやりたいと言っています。先生は外人なのである程度英語が分かった方が面白いのかなと思います。ちなみに子供はしゃべれるのでとっても楽しかったようです！先生もかっこよかったと言っていました。

We were greeted at our hotel by a Cruise rep and his trainee who had a wonderful smile. We were taken to our boat and directed to our seats by a wonderful staff who all greeted us with the traditional "Aloha". The Cruise rep and his trainee (Smiley) cited on our table with tremendous professionalism and friendliness making our cruise very pleasant. The food was perfect for this cruise and everything was brought to our table in perfect order. The floor show was spectacular and it was fun seeing the traditions of dance and music. We started off during daylight and cruised the beautiful skyline of Waikiki Beach and Honolulu in the dark. Everyone had a chance to spend time outside on several different viewing areas. This was a great dinner cruise and we highly recommend it to people of all ages.

It was great to cruise Waikiki Bay at a reasonable price. I enjoyed cocktails on board and took in the wonderful scenery and breeze. I highly recommend it for first-time visitors to Hawaii!

リーズナブルな価格でワイキキ湾をクルーズできてとてもよかったです。船上でカクテルも堪能でき、素晴らしい景色と風を堪能しました。初めてのハワイにはぜひお勧めします！

There were really only the two of us who were Japanese. We toasted with all-you-can-drink cocktails, took photos, and the sunset was wonderful. This was my fifth time in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.

本当に日本人は私たち二人だけでした。中途半端な英語ですが飲み放題のカクテルで乾杯して写真を撮ったり、夕景も素晴らしく５度目のハワイですが大満足でした。

Great maitais and wonderful evening to go sailing!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Extremely friendly staff and they made the experience special. Entertainment and good were great!

Lots of turtles. Staff great.. snorkeling for about 1hour...then cruise on catamaran off the coast of waikiki for another hour.

I had seen it once a few years ago, but I participated this time because I heard the content had been renewed. Unlike last time, it included not only songs but also hula, making the experience fulfilling and enjoyable. After the performance, I was able to take photos with the performers in the lobby, which made for a great keepsake.

何年か前に一度見たことがあったが、内容がリニューアルしたとの事なので参加。
前回と違い歌だけでなくフラ等も取り入れていて、内容が充実しており十分に楽しめた。
終演後のロビーでの出演者との撮影も気軽に取ってもらい、良い記念になった。

I would like to participate again♪

This was my third time joining, and the staff were kind.

I plan to go again in March, so I would like to participate.

また参加したいです♪

今回3回目の参加したのですがスタッフの方も親切でした

3月にまた行くので参加したいと思ってます

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).

They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.

The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.

Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.

The cruise was awesome!!! The food was great. The staff we had took such good care of us. The entertainment was off the hook at the end.

Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!

I had a good impression from my previous experience on the Mai Tai Katamaran, so this is my second time. Last time, I took the 11 AM cruise, so this time I chose the sunset option.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy on the day of the cruise. I was hoping the clouds would clear by sunset, but I ended up missing the sunset I was looking forward to.

However, the Mai Tai served was easy to drink with a light alcohol content, the boat's sway was just right, and there was nice background music playing, so I still enjoyed myself even without the sunset.

I'll save the sunset for next time!

マイタイカタマランには以前に乗船して好印象でしたので、２回目です。
前回は11時の便でしたので、今回はサンセットにしました。

当日は、生憎の曇天となってしまいました。
何とか日没時までには雲が切れてくれないかな、と思っていましたが、
期待していたサンセットは見られずじまいでした。

けど、振舞われたマイタイもアルコール薄めで飲みやすいし、
船揺れも適度ですし、気の利いたBGMも流れていますしで、
サンセットなしでも楽しめました。

サンセットは次回のお楽しみということにします！
