All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I got bored during the show.
There wasn't much to eat. If you miss the first round, there's nothing left.
The seating is arranged in two rows in a U-shape with the stage in the center. The front row seems to be reserved for guests, so you can't sit there even if you arrive early.
You have to wait until the people in the front row finish before you can go to the buffet.
It's expensive for what you get, but since it's the Hilton, I suppose that's to be expected.
It became a memorable family trip.

ショーは途中で飽きちゃいました。
食事は食べるのもがあまりない。最初に取り損ねるともうありません。
席は２列でコの字でステージが中央にある。前列は宿泊者専用なのか早くても座れません。
バイキングの取りに行く順番も前列の席の人が終わってからじゃないといけません。
値段の割には高いですがヒルトンなので仕方が無いと思います。
家族旅行の記念にはなりました。

I made a reservation because I wanted to see hula (since it feels like Hawaii). The food was quite delicious, and the atmosphere was nice. Additionally, it was fun to see various Polynesian dances, not just hula. The Tahitian performance was the most exciting, and my dad was invited on stage to dance, which made for a fun experience. Since we chose the standard seating, the stage was a bit far, but they danced facing different directions, so it was enjoyable even from the side. It was a bit pricey, but I think it was worth the cost.

フラが見たくて（ハワイっぽいから）予約しました。食事も結構美味しかったし、雰囲気も良かった。それに、フラだけではなくポリネシアンのいろいろなダンスが見られて楽しかった。タヒチは一番盛り上がり、うちのパパは誘われてステージにあがって踊らされ、楽しく過ごせた。スタンダードにしたのでステージは少し遠かったけど、いろいろな方向を向いてダンスしてくれていたので正面じゃなくても楽しめる内容だった。少し割高だけど、値段だけのことはあると思いました。

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable El servicio y la comida excelentes y no se diga los tragos recomendado 100%

We participated as a family of three. Unfortunately, due to the poor weather and high waves, some people became unwell. However, the boarding area was good, taking less than 10 minutes from the Royal Hawaiian Center. I think it's very nice that you can interact with other travelers since it's a shared experience.

Depending on the weather, it could be the best experience!

3家族で参加しました。天候が芳しくなく波が高かった為、体調不良者も出て残念でした。
しかし、乗船場もロイヤルハワイアンセンターから10分掛からずにＧＯＯＤ。乗り合いの為、他の旅行者とも交流ができる点は非常に良いと思います。

天候次第では最高になると思います！！

Overall we had a good time at the Luau. I felt the food was pretty good with the exception of the fish not being cooked enough but the wife felt the food was lacking a fair bit. The show was very enjoyable and entertaining. Met some great folks at the table with us and overall really enjoyed the show.

Fabulous trip. Professional staff. Great snorkels and goggles. Safe. Loads of turtles to see. Really special way to see Waikiki and turtle canyon

+ The sunset is beautiful
+ Drink as much as you want!
+ Crew was friendly and we stayed a bit longer
+ The extras: they take a nice photo of you

Highly recommend doing this!! A very very amazing and memorable experience

All staff were professional and helpful and had a great time. The only thing was one of the gals helping had her whole but showing and thought that was unprofessional. I don't mind some butt showing but the whole thing?

Wonderful food, entertainment. Loved the dancing afterwards. Friendly crew, my daughter said our waiter Chad was a 'hottie'.

I had decided during my last trip that I would definitely go see this next time, and my wish came true. The newlyweds who joined us were friendly and refreshing, which was great.

As for the show, perhaps my expectations were too high... ^^; Michael Jackson was amazing, but I thought Elvis could have been even more over-the-top.

I believe there was an announcement that photography was allowed as long as no flash was used, but I was taking pictures without flash and was still told off by a staff member. I wonder why that happened?

前回の旅行時点で次は絶対見に行こうと決めていて念願がかないました。
同席した新婚さんも気さくで爽やかな方達で良かったです。
ショーの感想ですが期待が大きすぎたせいか・・・^^;
マイケル・ジャクソンは素晴らしかったですがエルビスはもっとオーバーアクションでも良かったと思いました。

フラッシュを使わなければ撮影OKとアナウンスがあったと思いましたが、フラッシュ無しで撮影してたのに係の人に注意されましたが何故でしょう？

The day we participated, there was hardly any wind, so it didn't sway at all! However, since it's a small boat, it seemed like it would sway a lot on windy days. After the ride, the boat quickly heads back, so if you want to take pictures with the boat, make sure to do it beforehand or get off the boat early!

わたしたちが参加した日は全然風がなくて揺れませんでした！ただ、大きくない船なので風の強い日はすごく揺れそうでした。乗り終わった後はさっさと船は帰って行ってしまうので船とともに写真を撮りたい方は先に撮っておくか早い目に船から降りましょう！

I signed up for SUP. As others have mentioned, the meeting point is hard to find. I registered with three other people, and while the other members rented rash guards, for some reason, I was not provided one. Then, just when I thought the lesson was starting, it unexpectedly turned into a surfing lesson. I thought it might be similar to SUP for a while and continued with the lesson, but it felt off, so I approached the instructor, who admitted there had been a misunderstanding. Despite having properly handed over the printed VERTRA voucher, I find it puzzling how such a simple mistake could occur. After that, we had to exchange equipment, resulting in about 15 minutes of lost time. Honestly, I wanted our precious time back. The instructor conducted the lesson 99% in English. Even when I asked questions in Japanese, I was told they didn't understand. It was labeled as "beginner-friendly," but the waves were much stronger than I imagined, and we had to paddle quite far out, which was incredibly scary for a beginner like me. The instructor kept gesturing for me to hurry up as I was lagging behind, but it was truly impossible for me to keep up. I was so frightened that I couldn't even stand. If we were going that far out, I think they should at least provide life jackets. The fear of whether the instructor would actually help me, who wasn't even wearing the rash guard, in case of an emergency made me give up after a few minutes. When I tried to paddle in shallower water for some fun, another staff member came to collect the equipment, and it was a forced end to my experience. There were several instructors available, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem, but I ended up spending a very boring time. Although it was supposed to last 1.5 hours, it actually ended in about an hour. Later, I rented equipment personally at another place and had fun.

SUPを申込みました。
ほかの方も書かれていますが、集合場所がわかりにくいですね。
４人で申し込み、他のメンバーにはラッシュガードをレンタルしていましたが、なぜか私には貸し出されませんでした。
そして、いざレッスンが始まったと思ったらなぜかサーフィンのレッスンがスタートしました。
途中までサーフィンと同じ要領なのかと思い、しばらくそのままレッスンを受けていましたが、やはりおかしいと思いインストラクターに申し出ると、勘違いしていたとのこと。
こちらはプリントアウトしたVERTRAのバウチャーをしっかり渡しているのにも関わらず、なぜこんな単純なミスが起きるのか不思議で仕方がありません。
そこからまた道具を交換して・・・そんなこんなで１５分ほどのロスタイム。
正直、私たちの貴重な時間を返して欲しいと思いました。
インストラクターは99%英語でのレッスンです。
日本語で質問しても、分からないと言われます。
【初心者向け】と記載してありますが、想像より波もかなりあり、かなり沖の方まで移動するので、初心者の私にしたら、とてつもなく怖かったです。
インストラクターに遅れて漕いでいると「早く来い」と何度もジェスチャーで呼ばれるのですが、本当に無理です。ついていけません。
足がすくみ、立つことすらできませんでした。
あんなに沖に出るならライフジャケットくらい貸してくれれば良いと思うのですが。
万が一のとき、ここのラッシュガードすら着ていない私を、果たしてインストラクターは助けてくれるのかという恐怖も重なり、数分でリタイアしました。
浅いところでパドルして楽しもうと思ったら、別のスタッフに道具を回収され、強制終了でした。
何人も手空きのインストラクターもいたので、問題ないと思ったのですが、とても退屈な時間を過ごしました。
所要時間1.5時間とありますが、実際１時間ほどで終了しました。
後日、別のところで個人的に道具だけレンタルして楽しみました。

While enjoying the view of Diamond Head on the left, we gradually headed out to sea. After the midway point, we picked up speed and battled some larger waves, returning to Waikiki in about an hour and a half.

It was an 11:00 departure, and we were blessed with beautiful weather that day; the stunning ocean left a lasting impression.

This is a recommended tour that allows you to experience the waters of Hawaii easily and safely.

If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely include this in my plans. Next time, I would like to try the sunset tour as well.

左手にダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めつつ徐々に沖に出て
中盤以降は速度を出し、やや大きな波と格闘し、
1時間半ほどでワイキキに戻ってきます。

11:00の便でしたが、当日は天候に恵まれ、
とにかくとても美しい海が印象的でした。

手軽で安全にハワイの海を感じられる
お勧めのツアーです。

またハワイに行くことがあれば
必ず予定に組み込むと思います。
今度はサンセットも試してみたいです。

I've been to Oahu many times. This trip is a must. Snorkeling with the green sea turtles is amazing! They pop up right under you and you have to back up a bit. There is nothing quite like being one with nature.

I would recommend this to any age group.

My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The crew were attentive, and made sure we were good at all times. I would definitely do this again. Date night!

My entire family including my dad and sister's children really enjoyed the dinner. It was good start for our family trip in Hawaii.

I participate every time I come to Hawaii. I've joined various optional tours, but this one is the most fun. This time, we were the only two Japanese people, and there was a newlywed couple and their family participating, so it felt like their party. Even in such a situation, I think we were able to enjoy ourselves thanks to the sky and sea of Waikiki. We had a great view of the sunset, but I ended up drinking too much, influenced by those around me. If you're staying in Waikiki and don't get seasick, I definitely recommend joining.

ハワイに来るたびに参加しています。いろんなオプショナルツアーに参加しましたが、これが一番楽しいです。今回は、珍しく日本人は我々２名のみ。新婚さんとその家族が参加されており、その人たちのパーティーのようにもなってました。こんな状況でさえ、楽しめるのは、ワイキキの空と海のおかげだと思います。夕焼けもバッチリ見えましたが、周りにつられ、飲みすぎてしまいました。ワイキキに宿泊される方、船に酔わない方はぜひ参加ください。

First of all, the one-way free shuttle from the airport was appreciated, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales. The captain changed locations several times and made an effort, but it just didn't happen. I had high hopes since they said they saw them multiple times the day before. However, I did receive a free ticket for the next time, but I didn't see any whales on the second trip either.

まずは空港から片道無料送迎付きは有難かったのですが、クジラには出会えませんでした＞＜　　船長さんも幾度も場所を変え、挑戦してくれたのですがダメでした。前日は何回も見れたとのことだったので期待大でした。でも次回の無料参加チケを貰ったのですが２回目もダメでした＞＜

It's close to Waikiki, and with the pickup service at this price, they provide thorough instruction, so I'm very satisfied. I would like to use it again.

ワイキキからも近く送迎付きで、この値段でしっかり教えてくれるので、十分満足です。また利用したいです。

We took 20 people on this cruise as part of our pre-wedding, Welcome to Hawaii event. It was absolutely perfect. The drinks were flowing, the crew members were friendly and outgoing, and the boat was big enough that we didn't feel jammed in - we had plenty of room to spread out and mingle with the whole group. Would definitely recommend this activity to others. Totally worth the cost!

I participated because I wanted my parents, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, to experience what Hawaii has to offer. Starting with traditional hula, the spectacular fire show was breathtaking, and my parents were thrilled. I definitely recommend participating in the premium seating. You can really see everything up close!

The meal was served buffet-style, and we all lined up together to serve ourselves. There were many Hawaiian dishes, and they were very colorful. For drinks, I exchanged the drink tickets I received at the reception at the bar, but friendly waiters also came around to take orders at our seats.

I considered the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we had a great time here. Given the location and the food, I think I would choose this place again for my next visit.

ハワイは初めての両親に、ザ・ハワイなるものを体験してほしいと思い参加しました。
伝統的なフラから始まり、大迫力のファイヤーショーは圧巻で両親は大喜び。
是非、プレミアムシートでの参加をお薦めします。本当に目の前で見られます！
お食事はブッフェ方式で、みんなで仲良く一列に並び順番に取り分けて食べました。
ハワイアン料理がたくさんあり、とても鮮やかでした。
ドリンクは受付時に貰ったドリンクチケットと交換でバーでオーダーしましたが、お席へも気さくなウェイターさんが聞きに来てくれます。
ポリネシアンセンターのルアウと悩みましたが、十分楽しめました。やはり立地・お食事共に次回も参加するならこちらかなと思います。

This time, I was worried because it was raining heavily in the morning, but I headed to the shop on time. After arriving, there was an explanation, and miraculously, the rain stopped by the time we headed to the ocean, allowing us to enjoy surfing. Perhaps thanks to the weather, there were relatively few participants, which was just right. I would love to participate again.

今回は朝から大雨で心配でしたが、
とりあえず集合時間通りショップに向かいました。
着いてから説明などがあり、海に向かう頃には奇跡的に雨が止んでおり、楽しくサーフィンできました
今回は天候のおかげか割りと少人数でちょうどよかったです。
またぜひ参加させていただきます。

On March 6th, I participated in a sunset cruise. First, I was worried about getting seasick, but it didn't rock as much as I thought, so I was fine. It was a bit chilly, but I got to see a beautiful rainbow and sunset, which was fantastic. Also, the all-you-can-drink option was great. I did get a little splashed, but that was fun in its own way. I highly recommend it!

３月６日に、サンセットクルーズに参加させて頂きました。
まず、船酔いが心配だったのですが、思ったほど揺れなくて大丈夫でした。
少し肌寒ったのですが、きれいな虹と夕日が見れたので最高でした。
後、飲み放題ってところも、良かったです。
水しぶきも少しかかったのですが、それはそれで、楽しかったです。
おすすめですよ。

The weather was uncertain, but it held up, and just in time for sunset, the clouds cleared, allowing us to enjoy the sunset beautifully. Surrounded by cheerful Americans visiting from the mainland and Koreans living in Japan, I had a great time on the cruise, experiencing a boat that sped close to the water even after sunset. The staff provided attentive service, making it a very pleasant tour, and I'm glad I participated.

天候が危ぶまれたがなんとか持って、しかもサンセットの時には雲も切れてグッドタイミングで日没を堪能出来ました。
本土から来ていた陽気なアメリカンと日本在住のコリアンに囲まれて楽しいクルーズでサンセット後も海面スレスレを快走する船を体験出来ました。
スタッフも細かい接客が出来ていてとても気持ちの良いツアーに参加出来て良かったです。

We were blessed with great weather, making it the best cruising experience. This time, we were a group of six: an elderly couple in their 70s, a 4-year-old, a 1-year-old, and my spouse and I. The waves were calmer than expected, and we enjoyed the beautiful sunset without any rocking. Also, as the name suggests, the Mai Tai Catamaran offered unlimited Mai Tais, which was satisfying. Although my English skills are limited, I was able to board smoothly without any inconvenience. It was nice to see that most of the guests were foreigners, with only a few Japanese families. I would love to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii.

天気に恵まれ最高のクルージングとなりました。今回は70歳の老夫婦と4歳１歳と私たち夫婦の6人でお世話になりました。思ったより穏やかな波で揺れることなく、夕陽もとてもきれいに楽しめました。また、マイタイカタマラン号というだけにマイタイ飲み放題で満足です。英語力がないのですが、なんとなくすんなり乗船でき、不便はまったくありませんでした。日本人も二、三組で外人がほとんどなのが、また良かったです。またハワイに来たら利用したいです。

The sunset dinner experience was extraordinary. The food was exquisite and our waitress was amazing. Keilani made us feel at home and made sure our experience was superb. In addition, the assistant manager Crystal Tagudin stopped by our table and chat with us for a while to make sure that our expectations were met. I absolutely loved it and look forward to going back next time I'm in Hawaii. Thank you Star of Honolulu staff!!!

Second year in a row we have enjoyed a sail. Service is on point!!!!

This awesome sailing experience was one of a kind. There are many catamarans on Waikiki Beach, but this one stands out. From the colorful sails, to the attentive and pleasant crew, this is a seriously great experience! Make sure you bring cash if you want anything to drink!
