All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

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.

It was a great experience. I would like to do it again. great staff on board very well organised , and the show was amazing, good to see that great atmosphere. Thank you so much to give us that great night we will remember my 50th birthday.

Initially, I had a rather casual expectation, but from the very beginning, I was able to experience a lot of surprises and excitement, and I am very satisfied.

最初勝手なイメージで、期待はそこそこだったのですが最初から驚きと
感激が多く味わう事が出来、大変満足しています

We went with this trip after looking at more expensive ones. Glad we chose this company as they were super helpful with snorkeling safety and tips but were also fun and laid back. We saw turtles as well as all sorts of fish and a whale. Great afternoon , just wish we'd stayed out longer.

It was a large ship. There were many Americans and English speakers on board. When we reached the point, there was an announcement about the direction at around 〇〇 o'clock, and we were able to see something that looked like a whale, but we couldn't see its face. However, we were able to confirm several instances of it spouting water, so that was good.

大きな船でした。アメリカ人？英語を話す人が非常に多く乗船していました。ポイントに来ると〇〇時の方向とアナウンス、鯨らしきものは見ることが出来ましたが顔は見ることが出来ませんでした。でも何回か潮を噴き上げる場面は確認出来たので良かったです。

The driver was very friendly and very informative. Would do this again and will highly recommend this tour to friends and any one else who is thinking. About snorkling .

You can enjoy sailing until sunset in the best location. However, while we were surrounded by lively foreigners enjoying the party atmosphere with Mai Tais, our family, being quiet Japanese, couldn't quite get into the mood... But after disembarking, we had all been holding it in, so everyone headed straight to the restroom at the Sheraton Hotel.

最高のロケーションで夕日が沈むまでのセイリングを満喫できます。
ただ、マイタイを飲みながらパーティー気分でノリノリの外国人の中で、無口な日本人の私たち家族はずっと雰囲気に乗り切れないままでしたが・・でも下船後はトイレを我慢していたので、全員がシェラトンホテルのトイレに直行でした。

We participated as a couple with our one-year-old child. We saw something that looked like a whale, but it was quite far away and just barely visible. According to the staff, there was a big whale breach yesterday, so it seems like you need a bit of luck to see that. If we had seen it, we would have been very satisfied, but since we didn't, I gave it three stars. Overall, it felt like a tour that’s okay to do just once. It was nice that there was one Japanese staff member as well.

１才の子供連れで夫婦で参加しました。鯨らしきものは見えましたが、結構遠くちょっと見えるくらいでした。スタッフが言うには昨日は鯨が大きく跳ねたらしく、それを見るには運が必要なのかなーっていう感じです。それが見れたら大満足だったんですけど、見えなかったので星三つにしました。まぁ一回参加すればいいかなって感じのツアーでした。スタッフの感じは日本人も一人いてよかったです。

I wish I do air tour again. thank you we love it so much.

Got to see 2 sightings of whales. Was able to get pictures both times.

You can easily debut in surfing at Waikiki Beach.

One hour may seem short at first glance, but it was sufficient. I think Waikiki is suitable for beginners since the waves are gentle. I participated in the morning lesson, which I recommend because it allows you to make the most of your day. After the lesson, I returned to the hotel, had lunch in Waikiki, joined another tour in the afternoon, and went shopping at night, making it a full day of fun.

By the way, the instructor had stayed in Japan, so he mixed in some Japanese during the explanations, which I think makes it easy for those who can't speak English to participate with confidence.

Thanks to the one-on-one lesson, I was able to ride the waves continuously, which was great.

ワイキキビーチでさくっとサーフィンデビューできます。

1時間と一見短そうに感じますが、十分でした。
ワイキキは波も穏やかなので初心者向けかと思います。
朝一のレッスンに参加したのですが、１日を有効に使えるのでおすすめです。
レッスン後ホテルに戻り、ワイキキでランチをとり、午後からは別のツアーに参加し、夜は買い物をし、と１日フルで遊べました。

ちなみに先生は日本に滞在していたこともあり、日本語も織り交ぜで説明してくれるので、
英語が話せない方でも安心して参加できると思います。

マンツーマンのレッスンにしたお蔭で、ひたすら波に乗れたのもよかったです。

I participated with a light-hearted desire to see hula dancing, but I enjoyed it even more than I had imagined! Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the powerful performance from the front row. The buffet was delicious as well. I was happy that the lei greeting used real orchids. I felt that the photos taken for commemorative purposes were a bit expensive, but overall it was a great experience!

フラダンスを見たいという軽い気持ちで参加しましたが想像してた以上に楽しめました！はやめにいったので最前列で大迫力のパフォーマンスを楽しめました。ビュッフェも美味しかったです。レイグリーティングも本物の蘭の花を使っておりうれしかったです。記念撮影した写真は少し高いなと感じましたが総じてよかったです！

Great Experience for all, Would do this one again.
Wish it was a longer dive with more to see but over all, Great...

I didn't have time to go to Lahaina to see the whales, so I was a bit unsure if I would be able to see them in Waikiki while participating in the Navatek cruise. However, I felt reassured by the onboard lunch and the explanations about the whales, as well as the guidance from our tour guide, who had been an English teacher in Fukui Prefecture. So, did we see any whales? Yes, we saw a lot!

ラハイナまでクジラを(ホエール)見にいく時間が無く、ワイキキで見れるのか
少し疑問にしながらのナバテック号の参加でしたが。船内のランチタイムや鯨の説明
福井県で英語の教師をしていたガイドさんの案内などで安心して参加出来ました。それで
鯨は見れたのか？？、沢山見れました。

I had to wait for almost an hour until the others arrived to board the submarine, and the boat was rocking, making me feel sick. The weather was bad, it was cold, and the visibility was almost zero; I couldn't see anything. It was the worst.

潜水艦に乗る移るまであとの人たちが来るまで１時間近く待たされ、船が揺れて気持ち悪くなった。天候も悪く、寒くほとんど透明度がなく、何も見えなかった。最悪。

We had a wonderful time, very entertaining! Would recommend to others.
