All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

New, clean catamaran, friendly staff, unlimited coctails, great experience, highly recommended

I participated via monitor, and I was absolutely thrilled! It seems that different stars perform on different days, but on the day I went, it was Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Lady Gaga. First, I was guided to the green room, where they served a green champagne in line with the theme, along with fruits, coconut chips, and salmon. The manager showed us the costume room and backstage, and then we headed to our seats☆

Our seats were right in the center, directly in front of the stage! Before the show, we enjoyed dinner. I ordered a Blue Hawaii first, and it was really delicious!!! The lobster was sweet and tasty, the main steak was tender and exquisite, and the salmon was large. The truffle mashed potatoes were also very delicious. The dessert, chocolate cake with macadamia nut ice cream, was delightful as the warm cake melted the ice cream, enhancing the sweetness—it was truly satisfying!

The show was of very high quality, especially Michael Jackson, who looked and sounded so much like the real deal. Since we were in the front row, we even got to shake hands with the stars as they came down from the stage, which was a lot of fun. Everyone sang incredibly well, and I think the quality of the show was quite high.

I believe it’s definitely worth choosing the green room, as sitting closer to the front makes the experience much more enjoyable!!!

モニターでの参加でしたが、大大大満足でした！
日によって出演するスターが違うみたいなのですが、私が行った日はマイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー、レディーガガの3人でした。まず、グリーンルームに案内され、ウェルカムシャンパンでグリーンルームにちなんでグリーンのシャンパンがでてきて、他にもフルーツ、ココナッツチップスやサーモンなどをふるまわれます。支配人の方衣装部屋や舞台裏の案内をしてくれ、そのあと座席へ☆

座席は、ステージの目の前ど真ん中でした！
まずショーの前にディナーを頂きます。ブルーハワイをまず頼みましたが、かなり美味しかった！！！伊勢海老も甘くて美味しくて、メインのステーキもやわらかくて絶品でしたし、サーモンも大きく、トリュフ入りのマッシュポテトもとても美味しかったです。デザートのチョコレートケーキとマカデミアナッツアイスも、温かいケーキの上で溶けるアイスクリームは甘さが増して、ほんとに大満足の味でした！

ショーはかなり完成度が高く、とくにマイケルジャクソンは本物と本当にわからないくらい姿も声もにていました。
一番前の席だったのでステージからおりてきたスターと握手したりすることもできてとても楽しかったです。
歌はみなさんすごく上手く、ショーとしてのクオリティもかなり高かったと思います。

座席は前の方が絶対見ていて楽しいので、グリーンルームを選ぶ価値はあると思いました！！！

I participated with my daughter. It might have been a coincidence, but on the day we attended, there were few Japanese people, and it was lively from the start, with a local group present. We were moved as we watched the sunset gradually tilt from offshore Waikiki while high-energy music played. It felt like our hearts were being cleansed... those two hours were incredibly happy moments. I want to participate again soon, but since it's popular, it might be difficult to align it with my schedule!

私は娘と２人で参加しました。
たまたまだと思いますが私たちが参加した日は日本人が少なく最初から盛り上がってて、ロコ系の団体さんがいました。ハイテンションなミュージックが流れるなか夕日が少しずつ傾いていくのをワイキキ沖から観られて感動しました。
心が洗われてるような…あの約2時間はとっても幸せな時間でした。
またすぐにでも参加したいと思いますが人気があるので自分のスケジュールと合わせるのが…難しいかも!！

My partner and I went on this sunset cruise. We had a wonderful time!! It's about 2 hours out. The staff was awesome and made sure our drinks stayed full. It was one of our highlights of our trip. We will do this again and recommend people do this. LOTS OF FUN!! The sunset out there was so beautiful. A must do!!

Fantastic! The crew was so nice and the trip was great. The only regret we have is that we waited until the end of our vacation to take it. Otherwise we would've opted for another excursion, e.g. sunrise cruise, fireworks. We will most certainly use this group again when we return to Waikiki.

We were a group of 7 and attended this event on the night of our arrival. The food was really good for a mass serving and the show was fantastic. It was, in fact, wheelchair accessible and all the folks we cam into contact with couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

I read other comments downplaying the fact that we were on top of a parking garage but that didn't detract from our enjoyment one bit!

I was swept away by the sunset, full moon, dancers, mai tis, whale watching and our MC for the evening. Because I was traveling solo I was the center of focus majority of the evening :) (I didn't mind) The level of participation and energy from everyone in the room was mind blowing. Can not wait to return, but with a significant other.

We mistook the school location went other side of Waikiki beach. Veltra called us and school ban came to pick us up. We join the lesson about 30min late but everyone were nice and we had so much fun in the water!

A line forms in front of the "Rum Fire" at the Sheraton as the time approaches. You must be barefoot when getting on and off. For items that shouldn't get wet, there is a storage space under the middle seat with a lid. You will be scolded if you lie down on the net. It was fine to dangle your feet, though. Still, it feels nice. I didn't see any dolphins, but there was a sea turtle right after we departed. The view is great, and I think watching the raising and lowering of the sails is also a highlight.

シェラトンの「ラムファイヤー」の前に、時間が近くなると列ができます。
乗り降りのときは必ず裸足になります。
濡れたら困る荷物は、中央座席の下に蓋の閉まる荷物置きがあります。
ネットの上に寝転がると叱られます。足をブラブラさせる位なら平気でした。それでも気持ちいいです。
イルカは見られませんでしたが、出発してすぐにウミガメがいました。
眺めもいいし、帆の上げ下ろしの様子なども見どころだと思います。

I took my mum to see this show we did the VIP dinner we had a fantastic time and I would recommend this show. I can't speak highly enough of our service people they bent over backwards for us absolutely loved the show what a great night.

We took our friend who was visiting from AZ and we all had the best time. Good drinks, good service, and good company.

I was completely surprised that both my kids were able to surf on the first class. They enjoyed it so much they (the kids) insisted on another session. Their teachers were so good the kids were interested in learning more!!! a big shout out to Travis, Tim and Adam. These young men are wonderful teachers and it was an honor to meet them. Hardworking, talented and yet so humble and compassionate to their culture and environment. It was a wonderful experience! I also want to say the office staff were also very nice. This picture is my son and his teacher Travis on the first session.

Taking the shuttle was the only way to go. They had all the gear we needed
However the long line to get in ate up a lot of our time. then the mandatory movie was really way to long and a lot of unnecessary info in it.

We had a great time it was the highlight of my trip.

The two women in their forties were very satisfied with the delicious champagne they enjoyed in the green room (＾－＾). While savoring pinchos, they had a blissful time when, surprisingly, Presley came to visit, and they took a commemorative photo, making their luxurious time fly by!(^^)!

Next, they were guided backstage. The explanations were in English, but they spoke slowly, making it easy to understand. They explained the stage equipment and props, and they even took a commemorative photo wearing part of the costumes used in the hula—what a great experience!

The meal included lobster, steak, and salmon, and the portions were ample (＾ｕ＾). They didn't have high expectations for the taste, but everything was delicious☆ They finished the wine they had reserved in advance, and the women in their forties were soon overcome by sleepiness, but the show started right away (*^_^*). Sitting in the center of the front row, they were mesmerized by the performances of Presley, Gaga, and Michael. The hula and fire dance were also wonderful, and they were captivated. After the show, there was a photo opportunity with the stars and cast, and of course, they lined up for a snapshot★

It was a fun time in Hawaii! Several colleagues are traveling to Hawaii this summer, so I recommended this tour to them.

グリーンルームで頂いたシャンパンのおいしさにアラフォー女子二人は大満足（＾－＾）ピンチョスを頂きながら至福の時を過ごしていると、な・ん・と・プレスリーが訪問してくれ記念写真を撮り贅沢な時間はあっという間に終了!(^^)!
次は舞台裏を案内していただきました。説明は英語ですがゆっくり言ってくれるのでわかりやすかったです。舞台装置の説明や道具を説明してくれ、フラで使用する衣装の一部をつけて記念写真を撮ったり、いい体験でした！
食事はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームは十分（＾ｕ＾）味は期待していなかったけど、すべておいしかったです☆事前に予約したワインも飲み干し出来上がったアラフォーは睡魔に襲われましたがすぐにショーが始まりました(*^_^*)最前列の真ん中でプレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのパフォーマンスにうっとり。フラやファイヤーダンスも素敵で見入ってました。ショーが終わるとスターやキャストとの写真撮影があり勿論列にならんでパチリ★
ハワイでの楽しい時間となりました！今年の夏休みはハワイ旅行をする同僚が数人いるのでこのツアーをおすすめしました。

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。
