All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

We participated as a couple. I was worried because I could hardly understand Japanese, but it was good that they used a projector with explanations mixed in Japanese. We did some stretching before entering the sea, but I almost gave up paddling out. The female instructor helps the women, but the men have to do it on their own. Do your best! I was able to stand up multiple times while surfing, and it was really fun. If you get seasick, be careful because you might get sick while surfing too.

夫婦で参加しました。
日本語がほぼ通じなくて心配でしたが、
説明は日本語混じりのプロジェクターを使っていたので良かったです。
ストレッチをして海に入るのですが、沖までのパドリングで挫折しそうでした。
女性はインストラクターの人が押してくれますが、男性は自力です。
頑張ってください。
サーフィンは何回も立つことができて、とても楽しかったです。
船酔いする方は、サーフィンでも酔うので気をつけてくださいね。

We gathered at 2:30 and arrived right on time, but after checking in, we had to wait for 30 minutes because there was still time until 3:00.

I felt that the meeting time was a bit too early. I actually wanted to go longboarding, but since there were no waves, we switched to paddle surfing. It wasn't particularly difficult, so my wife got the hang of it quickly and was paddling out into the ocean with enthusiasm! The guide only spoke English, but he was very fun and friendly. There is a Japanese staff member at the reception, so it's reassuring.

2時半集合で時間ぴったりに行ったが、受付後まだ時間があるので3時まで時間をつぶしておいてくださいと30分待ちぼうけ。

集合時間が少し早すぎる気がしました。
本当はロングボードをしたかったけれど、波がないのでパドルサーフィンに変更。
特別難しくもないので妻もすぐなれて、ガンガン沖のほうまで攻めていましたｗ
ガイドの人は英語だけですがとても楽しく気さくな方でした。
受付には日本人のスタッフがいるので安心です。

The meeting place is a bit hard to find, but you can ask at the Sheraton Hotel's Blue Lizard. The cocktails were delicious, and the sunset was beautiful. The wind was strong, making the sailing very thrilling. I was able to experience the Hawaiian lifestyle. The staff provided excellent service. I recommend it, but if you're prone to seasickness, it's better to consider your condition first.

集合場所がわかりずらいですが、シャラトンホテルのブルールサイドで聞けばOK。
カクテルも美味しくて、夕日もきれいでした。風が強かったので、セーリングは迫力満点。ハワイのマルタイを経験できました。スタッフもサービス満点です。お薦めですが、船酔いしやすい人は、体調を考えてからの方がいいでしょう。

I have previously watched the sunset with a meal on a large cruise ship filled with Japanese people, but this catamaran is on a completely different level!! You can feel the Hawaiian air and breeze to the fullest, and drinks like cocktails are all-you-can-drink. You can freely walk around the ship while enjoying cocktails, and there were not many Japanese people, which was quite moving. If you're hungry, it's a good idea to bring snacks. I highly recommend it!

前に日本人だらけの大型客船でサンセットを食事付きで見たことがありますが、このカタマラン号とは天と地の差！！ハワイの空気と風をサイコーに感じられるし、カクテルなどの飲み物は飲み放題。船上をカクテルを飲みながら自由に歩き回れるし、日本人も少なくてかなり感動して帰ってきました。お腹が空いていたらスナックなどを持っていくと良いです。おすすめしまーす！

I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.

母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。

It easily gives you an authentic sailing experience. The cheerful crew makes for the best sunset cruise. It's such a wonderful tour that you'll want to go every day while staying in Waikiki.

手軽に本格的なセイリング気分にさせてくれます。陽気なクルーが最高のサンセットクルーズ楽しませてくれます。ワイキキに滞在中は毎日乗りたいくらいの素晴らしいツアーです。

I participated in a private lesson during my free time. I had a scary impression of surfing, but since the water was shallow, I didn't have to worry about falling into the sea, and I was able to stand up on my first try. The staff were all wonderful people, and the time spent floating in the sea together felt like being in a movie. Although the water is shallow, there are many rocks, so you need to be careful of cuts depending on where you fall. However, including the photos I bought at the end, it was an experience that made me want to do it again.

1人の自由時間にプライベートレッスンで参加。
サーフィンに対して怖い印象がありましたが、遠浅で海に落ちる恐怖もなく、初めてでも1度目で立てました。
スタッフの方々も素敵な人ばかりで、一緒に海に浮かんで休憩している時間は映画の中にいるようでした。
遠浅ですが岩が多いので、海に落ちる場所によっては切り傷に注意が必要です。
でも、最後に買った写真も含めて、また是非やりたいと思える体験でした。

We set sail in beautiful, clear weather, feeling great. At first, we were just gently swaying on the boat, but once we got out to sea, we were able to see sea turtles and got splashed by the waves (it wasn't much of a problem since we brought raincoats), and it was a lot of fun. Both my 3-year-old and 7-year-old enjoyed it together.

On the way back, the weather was so nice, with a pleasant breeze and the comfortable rocking of the boat, that I ended up dozing off. The kids, who don't understand English, desperately asked, "What are they talking about?" but when I translated it as, "If you study English, you'll understand," they seemed to enjoy it.

Many activities in Hawaii can be quite expensive, but this one was around $70 for four people, we got to see sea turtles, and we had a lovely sailing experience, so it was really great. I was torn between this and a submarine tour, but I made the right choice. I would definitely do it again!

快晴のお天気の中、気持ちよく出港。最初はただゆらゆらと乗っているだけでしたが、沖に出ると海ガメが見られたり、波しぶきで濡れたり(レインコート持参していたので然程問題なし)、とても楽しかったです。
3才も7歳も共に楽しめました。
帰りはあまりのよいお天気、気持ちいい風、船の心地よい揺れ加減で、居眠りしてしまうほど。
英語がわからない子供たちは必死で「何話してるの？」と聞いてきましたが、それも「英語をお勉強すればわかるようになるよ」と翻訳して話してやると楽しそうにしていました。
ハワイのアクティビティは高いものが多いのですが、これ四人でも70ドル程度、海ガメも見られ、心地よいセーリングも出来て、とっても良かったです。
潜水艦と迷ったのですが、正解でした。
また乗ります‼

I would highly recommend this activity. Driver was very helpful and informative. Everything was just as the company promised. We had a wonderful time.

Was not relaxing at all. You stand around waiting for over 30 minutes to board. We boarded what I thought was an overcrowded catamaran then we waited around while 6 other people paid at the last minute so they could squeeze on. Very awkward way of serving the cocktails. They might well have said "can I throw you a brewsky". Would not recommend this activity.

The weather was very nice, and I was able to see a beautiful sunset. Before departing, while on the boat, I was lucky enough to have a sea turtle come close to the boat.

The check-in was simply handing the voucher to the person sitting in a beach chair between Hale Koa and Sheraton.

Once the boat headed out to sea and raised the sails, I was able to relax and enjoy the view of Diamond Head and the sunset from the water.

There were few Japanese people, and all the announcements were in English. I think it’s fine even if you don’t understand it. They mentioned that drinks like beer, wine, and soft drinks were available, but initially, Mai Tais were served.

As the sun set, it got a bit chilly, so I recommend bringing something to wear over your clothes if you participate.

When we got off the boat, we were shown photos taken before boarding, and if we liked any, we could buy them. The photos taken with Diamond Head in the background turned out well, so we purchased one as a keepsake.

Unlike dinner cruises, there was no meal served, but this allowed us to purely enjoy the views, and the timing was just right for us to go to the restaurant we had reserved for dinner. It became a wonderful memory.

とてもいい天気で、美しい夕日を見ることができました。
出発前に船に乗っていると、ウミガメが船のそばまで来たりとラッキーなこともありました。

受付はハレクライニとシェラトンの間のビーチの椅子に座っている人にバウチャーを渡すだけで完了でした。

船は沖に出ると、帆を張って海の上に浮かんでいたので、ゆっくりリラックスした気分で海からダイヤモンドヘッドや夕日を眺めることができました。

日本人が少なく、アナウンスは全部英語でした。わからなくても問題ないと思います。
飲み物はビールやワイン、ソフトドリンクもあると言っていましたが、最初はマイタイが配られました。

日が落ちると、肌寒くなりましたので、参加される場合は上に羽織るものを持っていかれるのをおすすめします。

船を降りると、乗船前に撮った写真を見せられ、気に入ったら買うというシステムでした。ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにした写真でよく撮れていたので、私たちは記念に購入しました。

ディナークルーズと違って、食事は出ませんがその分、純粋に眺めを楽しめましたし、終わる時間がちょうどいいので、予約していたレストランで食事に行くこともできました。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

We had a wonderful quick trip on the water with a crew that became fast friends. The skipper had all the right jokes and jabs to make you feel like you had sailed with him many times before. And the rest of the crew were as friendly as you could wish for. A cocktail cruise fit my bill perfectly. So tip big these guys deserve it!!!

I felt like I was abroad in Waikiki, where there were hardly any Japanese people. It was great to make friends with the foreigners nearby and have a good time together. If I have the chance to come to Waikiki again, I would like to participate.

There was an all-you-can-drink option, but I could only manage two drinks because I needed to use the restroom frequently. My friend couldn't hold it and went into the boat's restroom, but he said it wasn't dirty.

日本人がほとんどおらず、海外に来たっていう感じをワイキキでも感じられました。近くにいる外人さんとも仲良くなったりワイワイできて良かったです。
またワイキキに来る機会があれば参加したいです。
お酒飲み放題とありましたが二杯しか飲めませんでした。トイレが近くなるので…。友人がガマンできず船のトイレに入りましたが汚くは無かったそうです。

I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication before joining! The boat rocked quite a bit when we headed out to sea (some people got pretty wet from the splashes), but the beautiful scenery was so healing that I forgot all about the rocking. The Mai Tai I had for the first time was also very delicious, and the cruise staff were cheerful, making for a fun time. I plan to join again when I come back to Oahu! ♪

船酔いが心配で、酔い止めを飲んで参加しました！
船は沖に出て行く時にかなり揺れましたが（水しぶきでかなり濡れた方がいらっしゃいました）、その揺れを忘れるぐらいのキレイな景色に癒されました。
初めて飲んだマイタイもとても美味しかったし、クルーズのスタッフさん達も陽気で、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
またオアフに来たら、参加しようと思いま~す♪

We participated with a 3 PM reservation, and we were the only two Japanese people there. The pre-briefing was in English only, but I somehow understood how to put on the life-saving equipment, so I had no worries at all. It felt great to be in a foreign country. Alcohol was available for purchase (beer, cocktails). We turned back just past Diamond Head and stopped off the coast of Honolulu to enjoy jumping off the boat before returning. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't think we would be able to jump in, but I had a wonderful time relaxing and taking it easy. The boat was larger than I expected, so I didn't feel any rocking. The price was reasonable and I highly recommend it (US$56 for two). The whole experience, from departure to return, took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. How about you all?

3時予約で参加しましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。事前説明は英語オンリーでしたが救命道具の装着方法等なんとなく分かりましたし不安は全くありませんでした。外国に来てる感じでよかったです。アルコールは有料販売（ビール、カクテル）。ダイヤモンドヘッド沖過ぎたぐらいでＵターンで、ホノルル沖合で停止して船からの飛び込み楽しんでからの帰着となりました。飛び込みできると思ってなかったので少し残念でしたがゆっくり、のんびり時間過ごせ大満足です。船が想像以上に大きかったので揺れは気になりません。料金もリーズナブルでお勧めです（ＵＳ＄二人で５６＄）。出発から帰着までで、大体1時間30分。みなさんも、いかがですか。

The show was very good. The meal was OK, with the crab legs being excellent, while the steak left something to be desired. The dance afterwards was a genuine "hoot"!!!

On the first night in Waikiki, I planned to relax at a Hawaiian buffet dinner and show, but I was suddenly filled with excitement. The two-hour dinner and show were amazing. I want to participate again next time.

ワイキキ初日の夜。ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショーでゆっくり過ごす予定が、いきなりの大興奮。２時間のディナー＆ショーに大感激。次回も参加したいです。

Had a great time very few folks on the trip. Crew was great they knew where to go to get on the turtles. Chris was busy looking for other things to show us so got to see a lot more than just the turtles. Nice thing about the morning trip is that we got there before a lot of other folks so there were plenty of turtles on the reef.

On our last night in Hawaii, we considered a dinner cruise, but decided to join this cocktail cruise as it seemed affordable and easy to participate in. Since it wasn't a large boat, I was worried about seasickness, but there wasn't any severe rocking (though it did sway enough to splash water on those sitting at the bow).

Once we headed out and set the sails, the speed of the boat was beyond my expectations. I could feel the wind on my skin, smell the ocean, and witness the changing colors of the sky on the horizon along with the lights of Waikiki, allowing me to fully experience the Hawaiian sunset.

With unlimited drinks and the pleasant background music from the boat, it was a wonderful cruise that you can't experience on a large cruise ship. If I visit Hawaii again, I would definitely want to participate again.

ハワイ最後の夜、ディナークルーズも検討しましたが、手頃なお値段で気軽に参加出来そうと考え、こちらのカクテルクルーズに参加しました。
大きな船ではないので船酔いを心配しましたが、ひどい揺れはありませんでした（とはいえ、船首に座っていた方に水しぶきがかかる程度には
揺れます）。
沖に出て帆を張った船のスピードは
想像以上で、肌で感じる風や、海の匂い、地平線で徐々に変化する空の色とワイキキの灯りなど、身体全体でハワイの夕暮れを感じることが出来ます。
ドリンクも飲み放題で、ほろ酔い気分の耳に聴こえる船のBGMが心地良く、大型の客船では体験出来ない素晴らしいクルーズでした。
またハワイを訪れるなら、是非参加したいと思います。

I went with low expectations, thinking that hula dancing was about all there was to Hawaii. I was mistaken... The authentic hula was something else entirely. The women's performances were, of course, great. Even more impressive was the men's hula, which was full of energy!! The fire performances were particularly breathtaking. I can't express it well in words!! If you have the chance, you definitely should go.

The seating was standard, but there were no issues seeing the show. The food was a buffet, so it was just okay. However, I highly recommend this show!!

あまり期待もせず、ハワイと言えばフラダンスぐらいの気持ちで出かけました。
甘かった･･･｡本場のフラは一味違いましたよ。女性は、もちろん良かったです。それにも増して、男性のフラは迫力満点でした!!特に火を使ったものは圧巻です。口ではうまく言い現せない!!機会があれば、是非行くべきです。
席はスタンダードでしたが、なんの問題も無く見られました。料理はビュッフェだったので、まぁそれなりです。
でも、このショーはオススメします!!

I intended to relax and quietly watch the sunset, but I found myself surrounded by a lively captain who was all about "Let's have fun, yay!" along with blasting rock music and young people engrossed in conversation, completely uninterested in the sunset. It turned into a festive cruising atmosphere (laughs). However, it was still quite enjoyable in its own way, so I think the best approach is to just go with the flow during such times.

Also, taking motion sickness medication is a must (many people were feeling seasick). Since a large number of people board, I recommend lining up early and securing a good seat by the water (you can move around after departure, but it's definitely more enjoyable to sit and watch).

静かに夕日を見ながらゆっくりするつもりで乗ったのですが「皆で楽しみましょう、イエー！」的な乗りの船長と、流しっぱなしのロックな音楽と、おしゃべりに夢中でまったく夕日をみる気のない若者たちに挟まれ、祭りのような雰囲気でのクルージングとなりました（笑）
ただ、これはこれで普通に楽しくはありましたので、そういう時もあるよと思って参加するのが一番だと思います。
また、酔い止めは必須（船酔いしている人多数）。結構大人数が乗るので早めに列に並び、しっかり海際の席を確保することをお勧めします（出発した後は移動できますが、座って見た方がやっぱり楽しいので）

It was truly beautiful and the best time! I want to ride again next time! The enjoyment might differ depending on the time of day.

Since it was my first time at this place, I had a bit of trouble, but I made it in time. I think if the map were a little easier to understand, it would be reassuring for first-time visitors to Hawaii.

I enjoyed waiting for departure while taking photos with Diamond Head and the boat in the background, and dipping my feet in the ocean. There were no Japanese staff, so the explanations were in English, but I managed with the words and the atmosphere. Plus, since there were only a few Japanese people, I felt more like I was abroad, and without hearing Japanese conversations, I could forget reality and enjoy the cruise even more!

With free drinks, I could also enjoy a Mai Tai cocktail, so I highly rated the experience for the price, which included alcohol, music, and the scenery.

I was lucky to see a dolphin for a moment! I was moved by the colors of the sky as the sunset gradually merged into darkness.

The boat we boarded was larger than I expected, so in my case, I was glad I could drink a Mai Tai cocktail without getting seasick.

Although I didn't get splashed much, it can get quite chilly with the wind, so I think it's important to bring something to wear.

本当に綺麗で最高な時間(*˙︶˙*)☆*°次も乗ってみたい！！時間帯によって楽しみが違うかも♪♪

初めて行く場所だったので、少し手間取ったけれど、十分間に合った。地図がもう少し分かり易いものだと、初めてハワイに行った人でも安心できると思う。

ダイヤモンドヘッドと船をバックに写真を撮ったり、海に足をつけたりしながら楽しく出発を待つ。
スタッフに日本の人がいないので、説明は英語だが、単語と雰囲気でなんとかなる。
しかも日本人は数人だったので、より海外に来ている実感ができるし、日本人の会話が聞こえない分より現実を忘れ、クルーズが楽しめる！！

フリードリンクでマイタイカクテルも飲めるので、お酒と音楽、景色全てを体験出来る内容での料金には高評価。

一瞬イルカが見えてラッキー♪♪
沈んでいく夕日から、徐々に暗闇が融合していく空の色に感動した。

乗船する船は思ってた以上に大きかったので、私の場合マイタイカクテルを飲んでも、船酔いせず過ごせてよかった♡

水しぶきはあまりかからないが、風を受けつづけると、けっこう肌寒くなって来るので、羽織れるものは持っていく大事だと思う。

The history of Hawaii was tastefully and elegantly done. The fire dancer was totally awesome. The chance to meet the cast after the performance was great, it allowed me to connect with them on a personal basis.

For those of use who prepaid for the deluxe accommodations the check in process was not good. There was no express check in. I had to stand in line with everyone else who had not prepaid and who was not purchasing the deluxe package! So the check in process totally circumvented what I paid for. Yes, I got to sit closer to the stage and got a different lei but that was it. So I don't know that the deluxe price was worth it.

It's a yacht-type cruise, so it's very pleasant to feel the wind while cruising. The guidance is in English, but it's manageable. There are not many Japanese people on board, so you can fully enjoy the feeling of being abroad. When the drizzle stopped, a rainbow appeared, and I was able to see a 180-degree rainbow over the sea. The sunset is also romantic and highly recommended.

ヨットタイプなので風を受けながらとても気持ちのいいｸﾙｰｽﾞです。英語での案内ですが、なんとかなります。乗っているのが日本人は少ないので外国にいる気分が満喫できます。
霧雨が止むとなんと虹が出て海上がって180度の虹を見ることが出来ました。
夕日もロマンチックでオススメです。

The shuttle ride was good,, picked us up at our motel. The snorkimg was good too but the snorkel mask weren't very good

In London, I love musicals, and in Paris, I enjoy cabaret shows. This time, I went without any prior knowledge, but it was incredibly fun. When we went, the lineup included Elvis, Michael, Madonna, and Britney. When Elvis first appeared, it was so similar that I burst out laughing. As for whether to sign up for the green room tour... I'm not sure. The seats were definitely in the front row, and it was fun to see the stage setup in advance. However, the quality of the welcome drink was a bit lacking, haha.

ロンドンではミュージカル、パリではキャバレー通いのショー好きな私。今回、予備知識なしに行ってみたけれど、サイコ―に楽しかった。私たちが行ったときにはエルビス、マイケル、マドンナ、ブリトニーのラインナップ。最初にエルビスが登場したときは似すぎて爆笑でした。グリーンルームのツアーで申し込むべきか否かは…どうかなー。確かに座席は最前列だったし、舞台装置が事前に見られるのも楽しかった。でもウェルカムドリンクの質は、イマイチでしたよｗ。

What a night! It took 46 years of marriage to finally get to Hawaii and enjoyed it to the fullest including the romantic cruise watching the fireworks. Perfect night weather and sea conditions. Beautiful shorline with the colorful night lights. Can't wait to return...hopefully sooner than 46 more years!

nice and relaxing, wish it was a little longer. Drink and crew were very good. Had a lot of fun.

I made a reservation for Sunset based on a friend's recommendation. I was surprised to see that we were the only Japanese people among a crowd of foreigners. As the boat moved further away from the island, it looked like rain was already coming from the clouds toward the island.

Please!!! Don’t rain! Don’t hide behind the clouds!!

I desperately wished for it, and my wish was granted; I was able to witness the sunset. I really wanted to go since it was highly recommended, and I was so glad I could participate on the last day! It felt completely foreign, but sharing the beautiful scenery transcended national boundaries! In fact, there were even some people who started dancing cheerfully and approached me to chat, despite being strangers.

It was truly memorable. When I saw the last sunset, tears came to my eyes without me realizing it.

Thank you for a wonderful time!!!

知り合いのオススメでサンセットを予約しました。
ビックリするくらい周りは外人だらけで、日本人はうちら2人。
船はどんどん島を離れながら
雲がかって島の方は雨がもう来てるだろうってとこで

お願い！！！
降らないでー！
雲に隠れないでー！！
必死に願い、

そして願いは届き、ちゃんと日の入りを見届けることができました。
オススメされていた分どうしても行きたくって、最終日に何とか参加でき、本当によかった！
完全にアウェイでしたが、それでも綺麗な景色を共有する気持ちは国は関係ないですね！
むしろ、陽気に踊り出す方も居たりして
隔たりなく初対面でも話しかけてくれたりして。

とっても思い出に残りました。
最後の夕日を見た時は勝手に涙が出てきました。

素敵な時間をありがとうございました！！！

The meeting place was a bit hard to find. When the time came, there were a lot of people lined up, but there were few Japanese. Once we started, they were talking a lot in English, but it felt like a "Yeah!" kind of atmosphere. There was an all-you-can-drink option for Mai Tais, beer, and wine, and I had a Mai Tai. Even though it was all-you-can-drink, I noticed that most foreign guests casually tipped when they ordered more, which I thought was a smart way to drink. The sunset and the view of Waikiki Beach from the sea were also wonderful. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to participate again. Also, before boarding, taking a photo cost $15 for those who wanted to buy it when disembarking.

集合場所がちょっと分かりにくかったですね。時間になるとたくさん並んでいましたが日本の方は少なかったです。乗り始めると英語でどんどん話してますが、なんとなく雰囲気でイェーって感じ。マイタイ、ビール、ワインなど飲み放題で、マイタイを頂きました。飲み放題ですがおかわりの時、外国の方（殆ど）さりげなくチップを渡してましたよ、なるほどスマートな飲み方だと思いました。夕日も、海から見えるワイキキビーチも素晴らしかったです。次に行くことがあったら、また参加したいと思ってます。あと、乗る前に写真を撮り、下船の時買う人は１５㌦でした。
