All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I participated with two female friends. There were few Japanese people, and the staff communicated entirely in English, so the explanations were a bit lacking, but I could generally understand the atmosphere of the place. Even though I couldn't understand the words, I found myself laughing as everyone got excited. The sunset was beautiful! However, it was quite cold, and although there was an all-you-can-drink alcohol option, I couldn't drink that much. I realized that a thick hoodie is essential during this time of year.

女ともだち2人での参加です♪
日本人の人は少なく、スタッフの方もオールイングリッシュだったので説明などはいまいちでしたが、その場の雰囲気で大体わかりますし、みんながワーッと盛り上がっていたら言葉はわからないけど笑えてきました。笑
サンセットも綺麗でした！
が、どうにも寒くアルコールも飲み放題ですがそんなに飲めませんでした。この時期は厚手のパーカーなどが必須だなと実感しました。

Highly recommend it! Crew was wonderful. Made sure we had drinks and the appetizers. View of Waikiki absolutely breathtaking!the sunset was magical! Also saw humpback whales as a bonus! Would do it again.

Since I was staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, I wanted to see a show nearby, so I participated. I think this is what a luau show is like, but I was disappointed that the buffet-style meal was not great.

ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジに泊まっていたので、近くでショーを見たいと思って参加しました。ルアウショーはこんなものなのかなと思いますが、ビュッフェ形式の食事がもう一つで残念でした。

I participated on the day of arrival.

Since I had the opportunity, I chose the Golden Circle, and it was definitely the right decision.

I was able to watch the show right up close to the stage, and it was incredibly powerful—I could even feel the warmth of the fire.

With the Golden Circle, in addition to receiving a shell lei upon entry, you also get a fresh flower lei, and you can go to the luau buffet with priority. It was definitely worth it just for the premium seating.

However, unfortunately, it was a very windy day, and it was quite cold, so it's advisable to bring a jacket.

I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food while experiencing Hawaiian culture.

到着日に参加しました。

せっかくだからと
ゴールデンサークルにしましたが
やはり大正解でした。

ステージのすぐ間際でショーを見られて
大迫力で、火の暖かさまで感じられるくらいでした。

ゴールデンサークルだと
入場の際に、シェルのレイのほか
生花のレイもかけてもらえるし、
ルアウのビュッフェも優先的に
取りに行くことができます。
プレミアムシートだけの価値はありました。

ただ、残念なことに
たいへん風の強い日で
かなり寒かったので
上着は持参されたほうがよいでしょう。

ハワイの文化を楽しみながら
おいしいお料理をいただけて
たいへん満喫しました。

Great time. Plenty of booze, great staff. We actually saw a humpback whale!! Highly recommended. Do the Friday sunset tour, then grab a drink at shore bird , and watch fireworks from the beach. Did I mention the humpback whale!

I was able to see the tail fin and spouting a few times, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see them well because they were far away. I didn't know there was a rule that you can't get closer than 100 meters. It's understandable since it's nature. The sea was calm, and I enjoyed the cruise. The photo sales were a bit too expensive, so I didn't buy any.

尾ビレと潮吹きが何回か見れましたが、遠くて良く見えなかったのが残念でした。100m以内迄近づくことができないルールがあるとは知らなかった。自然相手なので仕方無し。海は穏やかでクルーズは楽しめた。写真販売はちょっと高過ぎて買わず。

Highly recommended! The whole group bonded over whale watching and guava juice/rum libations. The crew was friendly, accommodating, and chill. Awesome experience!

Loved it. Kids lived it the entertainment was fun and the crab was endless.

The weather was very nice, but I couldn't see any whales. I did see dolphins, but it was disappointing. I would have liked a more detailed explanation based on my level of knowledge.

天気は非常によかったのですが、クジラには会えませんでした。イルカには会えましたが、残念でした。解説の方も自分が知っている知識レベルで、もう少し詳しい解説が聞きたかったです。

did not make it out as it was too windy but company was great to deal with

I was finally able to ride the catamaran that I've wanted to try for a long time. Most of the people around me were foreigners, and there was no Japanese spoken, but even with my limited language skills, I had a great time! The crew was really nice! There are free drinks available, but be careful not to drink too much since there are no restrooms. Overall, I felt amazing. I will definitely do this again!

以前から乗りたかったカタマランに初めて乗ることができました。周りは殆どが外国の方で、日本語は無でしたが、片言しか話せない私でも十分！！楽しめました。クルーもかなりの、ｎｉｃｅ　ｇｕｙ！！！フリードリンクで飲み放題ですが、トイレはないので飲み過ぎに注意。取りあえず、気分は最高。また、リピートします！！

The dinner cruise was amazing and even though we had over cast of Vog and spinkles all day we still captured a beautiful sunset from the ships deck. The food was delicious and staff was wonderful - would highly recommend

We chose the buffet style, and it was a fun meal while enjoying live guitar performances and hula dancing.

After the meal, we were led to the venue where the show began.

Everything was performed live by the band and look-alikes singing, with an astonishingly high level of quality. It's completely different from Japanese comedy look-alikes. In between, there were hula dances arranged in a rock style. After the show, there was also a time for commemorative photos.

It was truly a worthwhile and enjoyable entertainment experience.

I would like to visit again when I go to Hawaii.

再訪したいと思います。

The VIP Green Room Dinner and Show was the ultimate Legends in concert experience. Before the dinner my wife and I had the opportunity to relax in the VIP section where the complimentary drink and snacks set the right tone for the evening. The Elvis impersonator was available to take pictures minutes prior to being seated a few feet from the stage. The main course was delicious. Wife said the Steak was excellent but didn't care for the Salmon. I enjoyed them both. The drink tickets were an added benefit to compliment an already wonderful dinner. The desert was a delicious and beautifully arrange. The show began at about 815PM and the ELVIS impersonator was an awesome entertainer. He did about 4 songs to open the show and really had us comfortable and enjoying the show. He came off the stage and greeted the guest in the VIP section and planted a kiss and lei on a few unsuspecting women, my wife being one of them. Then the Lady Gaga impersonator had an outstanding performance. She WOWed the crowd with a descending entrance from above the stage. She was very fitting for show and a joy to watch. The The Michael Jackson impersonator was to the letter dancing like Mike. Although he wasn't as vocal as the other performers, those classic Michael Jackson dance move had us clapping and snapping. There were several other performances between impersonators that were very well performed as well. The host, ELVIS, did a final stage appearance and the grand finale was epic. After the show we had the opportunity to take photos with the entertainers and consume more beverages. Just as we thought the night was complete, a young lady validated our parking and we only paid 8 dollars in the Royal Hawaiian Parking Garage. My wife enjoyed it so much she said she's coming back. It was actually the best stage performance I'd ever been to. From check-in to check-out the whole experience was over the top classic.

These guys provided exactly the service you would expect. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and the gear provided was great. For a trip to Hanamu Bay you couldn't ask for anything else

We liked this. There were very few food options. The crew were friendly and the view stunning.

Should have offered a soda with dinner. The complimentary Mai tai was nice.

My daughter and I went surfing for the first time together. The beach right in front of Waikiki was just perfect for beginners. We both managed to stand up and pose for photos. It was a great experience for my 60th birthday... The local instructor told me, "I have students over 80 years old... you still have a long way to go."

Alright, I'm ready for more challenges!

娘と２人で初サーフィン。ワイキキの目の前の海岸ですが、初心者にはちょうど良い気軽さですね。
２人ともしっかり立ててポーズをとり写真に納まっていましたよ。
６０歳還暦の良い経験でした・・・ローカルのインストラクターから「自分の生徒には８０歳オーバーがいるよ・・まだまだだよ」とたしなめられました。

よし、まだまだ挑戦だ！

The whales always come close to the boat, making it easy for small children to spot and enjoy them. Inside the boat, there were displays featuring whale sounds, which kept the kids entertained without getting bored. However, I found the photos available for purchase to be quite expensive. I would have liked to buy one if they were a bit cheaper. The coffee and tea were self-serve, and I appreciated that there was decaf coffee available since I was nursing. On the way back, we could get off the bus freely, so we got off at Alamoana and spent the afternoon there. Both the kids and adults had a great time!

常に船頭にクジラが来るようにしてくれるので小さな子供でもクジラが探しやすく楽しめました。
船内にはクジラの鳴き声などの展示があり子供は飽きることなく楽しめました。
ただ、自由購入の写真が高かったなぁと。もう少し安かったら買いたかったんですが。
コーヒー紅茶はセルフですが、コーヒーはﾃﾞｶﾌｪがあり授乳中の私は助かりました。
帰りのバスは自由に降りれたのでｱﾗﾓｱﾅで降りて午後の時間をすごしました。
かなり子供も大人も楽しめました！

Within less than 10 minutes of departure, I spotted them jumping. I was inside the boat, but I couldn't help but rush to the bow to see them jump continuously. While they were diving, I found myself enjoying the anticipation of where they would come up next. It was a fleeting two hours. I guess it's just a matter of luck! It felt like I used up all my luck for the year. I was able to spend a precious time.

出航して、10分足らずで、ジャンプしている姿を目視した。船内に居たけど、立て続けにジャンプしてくれる為に、思わず船首へ。海底へ潜っている間、次はどこからでてきてくれるのか？ 楽しんで予測している自分に気が付く。あっと言う間の2時間でした。luckyの一言なのでしょうかね！ 今年一年間の運を使ってしまった感じがした。
貴重な時間を過ごせた。

If you are contemplating going, don't think - just book it! Rock-a-Hula is by far one of the more entertaining shows here on Oahu. You can only watch so many luaus before getting sick of them. If you enjoy Vegas shows, this is on the same scale. Also make sure to book the VIP backstage package. It was definitely worth having the show producer show us the entire stage, meet and greet with the crew, etc. - especially if anyone in your group is interested in theater. The food was several times greater than what we ate at other shows that cost more as well, with a 4-course surf and turf. The end dessert was delic'. The entire staff was very professional and you could tell they wanted you to really enjoy their performance as they must put a lot of work making the magic happen. My mother in law thought Elvis looked more handsome than the real deal. The mannerisms of all the characters were spot on. Bravo to the dancers, especially to the fire juggler. I especially enjoyed the incorporation of Hawaii's cultural aspects into the show for that local touch.

I went to the show with my parents and my husband. It was our first time in Hawaii, so we had little clue what to do, what to see and where to go. My parents found out about the show from some Korean TV show(they came from Korea) and told me about it, so I got the VIP tickets. We stayed in Waikiki so we could Walk to the theater.
The producer showed us the behind scene such as dressing rooms and even let us walk on the stage. There was a Hawaiian Flame show(I don't know the official name). It was actually my favorite part of the whole show. I was thrilled. I wanted to take a pictures with him but only the singers were out waiting for the photo time. That was disappointing.
There were a lot of Hawaiian dances. I thought the this Hawaiian dance part is something that I wouldn't be able to see in any other cities.
And "Michael Jackson" had the same nose job as the real Michael Jackson. Haha. His moon walk was great.
The dinner was served right before the show for about an hour and the food was very delicious. I was in the VIP seat so I was served the full course dinner. The dessert, molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream was heavenly.
The only downside I thought about the show was the fewer numbers of the legend singers than I would like to see. I was expecting about five singers but it was 1 hour and 20 minutes show with three singers.
I was just glad that my mom loved the show. She doesn't speak English but music doesn't require languages. It is all about the showman ship and atmosphere.
Overall it was a good show and I recommend this show to everyone!

I participated in January, but I couldn't see anything due to the weather (cloudy skies). Please understand that there is a possibility of not being able to see anything when you participate. However, I was able to see flying fish and a U.S. Navy submarine.

1月に参加しましたが、天候の関係（曇天）？のため見られませんでした。
見られない可能性もある事を理解して参加願います。
ただし、トビウオとアメリカ海軍の潜水艦を見ることができました。

It was a great tour where I could enjoy the view of Honolulu from the sea in a short time. Since we went quite far out, it was a bit rocky, and the splashes of water made it chilly, so it's necessary to wear long sleeves or take measures against the sea breeze. The boarding area was a little hard to find.

短い時間で、ホノルルの景色を海側から眺められて良いツアーでした。結構沖まで出るので揺れるし、水しぶきがかかったりするので冷えるし潮風対策もかねて長袖等は必要です。乗り場が少しわかりづらかったです。

The dance show lets you experience the Hawaiian vibe! The food is delicious too. However, there aren't many Japanese people there, so there is no support in Japanese.

ダンスショーはハワイ気分を味わえます！
料理も美味しいですよ。
ただ日本人はそこまで多くないので
日本語のフォローはないです。

We had one instructor for three people. It was my second time surfing, while the other two were surfing for the first time. Waikiki Beach has gentle waves and is quite shallow, so even those who are not confident swimmers can feel safe. Most other surfing lessons are two hours long, and since I was exhausted from my previous surfing lesson, I decided to go with this one-hour option. The waves weren't very high, but everyone was able to ride at least three times for sure. I wonder if I could have ridden more? I felt a bit unsatisfied with just one hour, but the two beginners seemed quite tired after that hour. Next time, I want to try the two-hour course and challenge myself with slightly higher waves! After all, surfing in Hawaii is the best. I definitely want to surf again the next time I go to Hawaii!

3人にインストラクターが1人ついて教えてもらいました。私は2回目のサーフィン、他2人は初のサーフィン。ワイキキビーチは波が穏やかで、かなり遠浅だったのでポイントでも足がつくので泳ぎが不安なひとでも大丈夫です。他のサーフィンレッスンは2時間が多く、前のサーフィンレッスンでクタクタになったので今回は1時間にしようと思いこちらを選びました。波はそんなに高くないですが、全員3回は確実にのれました。もっと乗れたかな？私は1時間で少し物足りなかったけど、初めての2人は1時間でかなり疲れたみたいです。次回は2時間コースで、もう少し高めの波にチャレンジしたいです！何はともあれ、やっぱりハワイでするサーフィンは最高です。次回もハワイに行くときは必ずサーフィンしたいです！

The staff at Hans Hedeman surf school in Waikiki Went above and beyond to make sure my family had an enjoyable safe experience.
C.J. Was waiting for us in our hotel lobby with a big smile and welcoming personality.
Everyone from classroom to water were friendly and knowledgeable. I had the upmost confidence that my kids were in safe hands at all times.
The instructors did a great job and all three of my kids were able to get up and stay on their boards immediately.
Thanks to the Hans Hedeman school, my family had a great experience with memories they can keep for years ( and video to prove it !)

Speaking of Hawaii, I thought of surfing and decided to try surfing for the first time.

I couldn't ride the waves at all, but I was really excited and had a great time.

If you have energy, you can do anything!!

ハワイといえばサーフィンと思い、
初めてサーフィンにチャレンジしてきました。

全然、波に乗ることはできなかったのですが、テンションはすごく上がって楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。

元気があれば何でも出来ます！！

You guarantee seeing whales and that is just what we did. It was very exiting for my first time.
Everyone was professional, well informed and provided great service.

Lovely cruise. Drinking champagne while watching a pair of humpback whales who just happened to show up "perform". The sunset was also nice. The staff and crew were fine and on time.
