All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The guys who did our trip were excellent they treated me with such care. I injured myself before the trip and they were excellent at getting me on and off the boat.

I forgot my "age" (laughs). The friend I went with is from the Presley generation (in their 60s), while I'm from the Michael generation (in my 50s). I was the first to welcome Presley and take a commemorative photo, and my friend was already teary-eyed. The show started with Presley coming out while rowing a boat, and once again, there were tears. I don't know much about Presley, so I wasn't as moved. However, when Lady Gaga appeared as the second performer, I was completely knocked out (I own all her CDs) and got into the groove with the music. I couldn't hear the silence around me, and even though I didn't know the real Gaga, I found myself shouting "Gaga! Gaga!" Next was Michael Jackson! I was convinced that Michael is truly alive. After all, right in front of me is Michael, no matter what anyone says. His bold dancing was infused with delicate emotional expression, and this time I became teary-eyed. Amazing!! This is what applause and cheers are all about. This was my second trip to Hawaii, but my first visit was 25 years ago, and I don't think there was a show this wonderful back then. I'm really glad I went. It has become a treasure in my heart. After returning home, I've been bragging to my other friends. I think it's a must-see when you go to Hawaii. It was so much fun—I feel like I've rejuvenated. Thank you very much!!

私、自分の「歳」を忘れてしまいました（笑）
一緒に行った友達はプレスリー世代（６０代）
私はマイケル世代（５０代）で一番最初にプレスリーのお出迎え＆記念写真を撮ってもらい友達は既に涙目状態ウルウルでした。ショーはプレスリーが船を漕ぎながら出て来てまたもや涙涙。私はあまりプレスリーを知らないので感動がイマイチ。しかし２番手のガガ様の登場で私は完全にノックアウト状態になり（彼女のＣＤ全て保有）曲に合わせてノリノリになりました。まわりの静止も耳には入らず本物のガガ様を知らない私ですがガガ！ガガ！と叫んでしまいました。続いてはマイケルジャクソン！マイケルって本当は生きていると確信しました。だって私の目の前にいるのは誰が何と云おうとマイケルだからです。彼の大胆なダンスの中に繊細な感情表現が浸透していて今度は私が涙目ウルウルになりました。素晴らしい！！拍手喝采とはこの事です。ハワイへは２度目ですが最初の渡ハは２５年も前でしてこんなに素晴らしいショーは無かったと思います。
本当に行って良かったです。私の心の中の宝物になりました。帰国後も他のお友達に自慢しまくっています。ハワイに行ったら絶対外せないと思います。
楽しかった～　　なんだか若返ったようです。ありがとうございました！！

We had a great time on our sunset cruise! The staff were friendly and helpful, and although the cruise set off a little late this had no impact on our evening. We would highly recommend this activity when in Waikiki, I think it is a 'must do'.

I went to Hawaii for the first time with my parents and my wife.

At first, I was worried because the meeting place was only written as "by the ocean at Outrigger," and I didn't know exactly where to gather. After asking various people on the beach, I found out that it was the "Island Magic" boat. The coupon only had the operating company's name, "Welakahao Catamaran Inc. dba Waikiki Beach Sailing," and hardly anyone knew it by that name.

Initially, I was anxious as I wandered around, but in the end, it was a very enjoyable cruise. Since it was Friday, the day of the regular fireworks show, I was torn between the fireworks cruise and the sunset cruise. However, the sunset cruise was definitely more interesting as I could enjoy the beautiful scenery while feeling the nice breeze. I watched the fireworks leisurely on the beach after the cruise, but since they only lasted about five minutes, it might not have been necessary to go out into the dark sea.

We were the only Japanese people there, and the other guests were mostly Western tourists. Basically, all the instructions and announcements were in English, but there was no need to worry too much. The crew members were very cheerful and kind.

There was an all-you-can-drink service, and all the guests were drinking quite a bit, but even just one drink was enough to enjoy the scenery and the relaxed atmosphere.

初ハワイで父母＆嫁と行ってきました。

最初、集合場所がアウトリガーの海側とだけ書いてあって実際どこに集まればいいのかわからず、心配しました。ビーチの人にいろいろ尋ねたところ"Island Magic"号という名前だということが判明。クーポンには運営会社の名前"Welakahao Catamaran Inc. dba Waikiki Beach Sailing "しか書いておらず、この名前で知っている人はほとんどいませんでした。

初めはあちらこちら回って心配しましたが、結果としてはとても楽しいクルーズでした。恒例の花火大会がある金曜ということもあり、花火クルーズにするか迷いましたが、サンセットクルーズのほうが気持ちいい風に打たれながら景色も楽しめて断然面白いです。花火はクルーズ後にビーチでゆっくり見ましたが、５分くらいしかなかったんでわざわざ暗闇の海に出る必要は無いかも。

日本人は私たちだけで、お客さんは欧米系の観光客ばかり。基本的に指示や案内はすべて英語ですが、あまり心配する必要はありません。船乗りさんはとっても陽気で親切な方でした。

飲み放題サービスもあってお客さんはみなさんガバガバ飲んでいましたが、一杯だけでも景色とリラックスした雰囲気でお腹いっぱいになりました。

What an amazing tour, highly recommend. Pilot very knowledgeable, well organized and well worth the money.++++

A few days ago, due to the impact of the hurricane, I was unsure if the luau would take place, but it was eventually confirmed. I went in a good mood, but it started to rain... I ended up eating dinner under a towel provided by the hotel. This kind of experience is something you can't have in Japan, and the food was quite delicious, so it was fun in its own way. However, the seating was not what you would expect from something called "premier." While we were close to the stage, we ended up in a spot with steps that obstructed the view, which was disappointing since I was really looking forward to the hula. I thought sitting further back in the center would have been better.

My biggest complaint, though, is about the photos! I mentioned that I had my eyes closed, but they assured me it was fine. I felt suspicious but went along with it, only to find that the final product was indeed a photo with my eyes closed. It was a keepsake, and since we were in it, I ended up buying it, but it was terrible! This was the only chance I had to see this luau, so I reluctantly purchased it, but it felt like a rip-off. I probably won't go again!

数日前のハリケーンの影響なのか、知人情報によると催行されるのかどうなのかと朝から検討中だったルアウ。結局なんとか催行される事になった。ごきげんで行ったが途中から雨が・・・。雨の中でホテルが提供してくれたバスタオルをかぶりディナーを食べていた。こんな経験は日本ではできないので、料理もなかなか美味しいしこれはこれで楽しかった。ただ、席についてはプレミアと名乗るようなものではなく、舞台の近くではあるのだが、私たちは運が悪いのかステップのあるところで邪魔になってしまい、フラをとても楽しみにしていたのに残念だった。これなら正面の後ろのほうがまだましなのではと思った。あと最大の不満は写真！目をつぶってしまったと言ったのに確認してくれて大丈夫と言われ、不審に思って引き下がったが、できあがったのはやはり目をつぶったものだった。記念だし、自分たちが写っているから買っちゃったけど、とにかくあれはひどい！今回はこのルアウしか見るチャンスが無かったから仕方なく買ったけどあれはぼったくりとしか言いようが無い。たぶんこれにはもう行かない！

an exceptional show great seating lovely food everyone enjoyed highly recommend

I participated in "Rock-a-Flash Show" by Legends in Concert Waikiki (inside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center) / ☆Members Only Monitor Tour☆ / Green Room Dinner & Show.

At first, while enjoying champagne in the VIP room, Lady Gaga came over and took a commemorative photo with us. After that, we toured the backstage, where the guide explained everything in English very kindly. Then, we were shown to a table in front of the stage to enjoy our meal.

The food was delicious. A female staff member peeled the shrimp for us, making it easier to eat.

As for the stage, Elvis came out first, and he had a youthful vibe. After that, Lady Gaga performed, followed by Michael. In between, there were hula shows and fire dances.

We participated as a pair and had a lot of fun, but the people around us seemed more subdued, so we stood out to the performers. I received a kiss from Lady Gaga, and my partner was told by Michael after the show, "You were the best."

These moments made us both very happy and created wonderful memories. I would love to go again.

今回ロック・ア・フラショー by レジェンド・イン・コンサート・ワイキキ （ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内） / ☆会員様限定モニターツアー☆／グリーン・ルーム・ディナー＆ショー に参加して来ました。
最初にVIPルームでシャンパンを頂いていたら、レディガガさんが来て記念撮影してくれました。その後バックステージの見学しましたが、こちらは案内の方が英語で丁寧に説明してくれました。そしてステージ前のテーブルに案内されて食事を頂きました。
食事は美味しかったですね。女性スタッフがエビの殻を剥いてくれましたので食べ易くなりました。
ステージですが、最初はエルビスが出てきましたが、若いエルビスと言う感じですね。
その後は、レディガガが出て、次がマイケルでした。その間にフラのショーやら、ファイアーダンスが挟まりました。
私達は二人で参加してとても楽しくノリノリでしたが、周りは大人しい感じでしたので私達二人が出演者から見て目立った様で、私はレディガガさんから投げキッスをもらいましたし、相方はステージ終了後にマイケルから「君が一番だったよ」と声をかけられました。
そんな事があり、二人とも嬉しくなり素敵な思い出になりました。
また行って見たいと思います。

I was a bit troubled because there was no one who could speak Japanese, and I wasn't sure where the reception was or if I should just wait here. There were no other Japanese participants either.
However, once we set sail on the boat, the breeze was very pleasant and it was amazing.
I recommend departing in the evening; I think the sunlight is too harsh during the day.
Beer and soft drinks are all-you-can-drink. Japanese is not understood.

日本語が話せる人がいなくて受付もどこにあるのかここで待ってればいいのかちょっと困りました。参加者も日本人があおませんでした。
でも実際に船で海に出発するととても風が気持ちよくて最高でした。
夕方出発がオススメです。お昼は日差しがキツすぎると思います。
ビールもソフトドリンクも飲み放題です。日本語は通じません。。

This is a great family activity and everyone to enjoy.

this is a great couples massage, very peaceful and calming

Its a great couple massage, very relaxing and calming

I took this trip on my own. The staff were very friendly and personable and laid back. The catamaran was quite large and fit everyone comfortably. Unfortunately, the water was quite silty and therefore the visibility was poor. I saw a couple of turtles and a few fish, but overall the snorkeling portion of the trip was disappointing. It sounds like from other reviews it is not always this way, so I may have just been unlucky. After snorkeling, we sailed around, which was fun. Subway subs were provided for lunch; however there were no vegetarian friendly subs - I would recommend for the future that this option be made available.

Overall, the trip was good but would have been much better had the visibility been better.

It was a trip with my daughter, and this was my first trip to Hawaii.

Since I don't know if I'll have another opportunity, I wanted to make sure I had no regrets, so I researched several "Hawaiian dance shows" and decided on this one.

The seats I chose were premium seats, which are naturally more expensive than general seating, but the location of the show and the dining arrangements were always prioritized, allowing me to gain satisfaction beyond the price.

The dance performances were enjoyable, with the professional dancers showcasing beautiful and refined techniques.

The host's skillful storytelling and ability to energize the atmosphere made the experience fun. The nearly three-hour show was entertaining and never boring.

On the way back, I had a memorable two-shot photo with a beautiful hula dancer. The premium seats are about 4,000 to 5,000 yen more than general seats, but considering the location and the privileged service, I highly recommend the premium seats.

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, I definitely recommend the premium seats. Enjoy!

娘との旅行でしたが、今回が私にとって初のハワイ旅行です。

これから機会があるかどうかはわかりませんので、せいぜい悔いのないようにしたいと見たい「ハワイのダンスショー」もいくつか案内と内容を調べ、このショーに決めました。

選択したシートはプレミアシートで一般よりは当然高いのですが、
ショーを観劇する場所といい、食事の案内といい常に優先されて、
価格以上の満足感を得ることができました。

ショーのダンスも楽しく、プロの踊りはきれいで美しく
そして鍛えられた技を見せてくれます。

司会者の巧みな話術や盛り上げ方など楽しく場面を盛り上げてくれます。
３時間近くのショーは楽しく決して見あきることはありませんでした。

帰りにはきれいなフラ姿のお嬢さんとツーショット撮影も記念になりました。
プレミアシートの席は一般席より４~５千円ぐらい高いのでしょうが、
席の場所、優遇されたサービスを考えればお勧めのプレミアムシートです。

これから、感激されるならプレミアムシートをぜひお勧めします。
楽しんでください。

I participated for the first time in Hawaii. The ship was bigger than I expected. Well, it was quite crowded. I was able to enjoy the sunset slowly. At times, it rocked quite a bit, and I thought I might get seasick if it lasted too long. The view from the sea, including Diamond Head, was wonderful.

初めてのハワイで参加しました。
思っていたより船も大きかったです。まぁ、ぎゅうぎゅうに乗ってましたけど。
ゆっくりサンセットも拝むことが出来ました。
時々、かなり揺れて、長時間だと酔ってしまうかなっと思いました。
沖からの景色、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど、素晴らしかったです。

It was my first time on a submarine, and I participated at the request of my grandson who is in his first year of university. There were many fish around the reef, and there were turtles as well. However, I was hoping to see more colorful fish. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take good photos underwater.

潜水艦は初めて、大学1年の孫の希望で参加しました、漁礁には沢山の魚がいました、亀もいました、ただ、もっとカラフルな魚が見えることを期待していました、海中での写真は上手に撮れなかった、残念。

Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.

Good cruise but was disappointed that it stated Fireworks and they brought us back to land to watch it and not on the catamaran where we would have gotten a great view. Don't advertise fireworks and then don't deliver. We could have paid the lesser price and got the same thing. Just sayin!!

Originally I was planning to join sunset sailing, but it was full and jointed daytime sailing. It was one of the best experience while I was staying in Waikiki. Beautiful view and great time with fun crews

Was great. Tour was informative and our pilot definitely knew a great deal of the island and of course those little unknown facts!

The entire family participated. The event was conducted entirely in English, and I thought that those who didn't understand English might not grasp the meaning very well. Still, we were able to have a reasonably enjoyable time. Since similar shows are held in various places, I think it would be good to compare them. If asked whether I would come here again, I think I would look for a different place. I thought the levels of Tahitian dance and hula dance were quite high. Regarding the seating, the premium option is good because it is close to the stage and allows you to go to the buffet first. Since the seats are not assigned, if you want a good spot, I recommend arriving a bit early to line up rather than just before the show starts. They offer body painting before the show, which was popular among children and women.

一族総出で参加しました。終始英語で司会進行され、英語が分からない人には意味がよくわからないのではないかと思いました。それでもそれなりに楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。さまざまな場所で同じようなショーが行われているので、見比べてみるのも良いかと思います。次回ここに来るかと聞かれたら、私はまた違うところを探すと思います。タヒチアンダンス、フラダンスともにレベルは高いのでないかと思いました。シートについてはプレミアだと舞台近くであることと、ビュッフェを先に取に行ける点が良いですね。座席は指定席ではないので、良い位置でみたいのならば開始直前に行かれるのではなく、ちょっと早めに行って並ぶ方が良いと思います。
ショー開始前にボディーペイントを行っています。子供・女性に人気でした。

We used this for our honeymoon memories. We departed from Hilton Hawaiian Village and spent about two hours relaxing on the sea while enjoying the sunset. The time spent heading towards Diamond Head bathed in the sunset was particularly pleasant and enjoyable.

There were only my husband and I as the Japanese participants, but the crew was very considerate and kindly provided us with the onboard explanation in Japanese separately from the other participants.

Additionally, the boat was comfortable to ride on, and when it started to rain, we were able to take shelter under the roof, allowing us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Alcoholic drinks were free for up to two servings, and there was a wide variety available, along with potato chips and warm snacks.

The boat was larger compared to the number of participants, which allowed everyone to enjoy their own space. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

ハネムーンの思い出に利用しました。
ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ヴィレッジから出発し、サンセットを臨みながら2時間ほど海上でのんびり過ごしました。夕日を浴びるダイヤモンドヘッドへ向かう時間は、特に心地よく気持ちが良かったです。

参加者で日本人は私たち夫婦だけでしたが、船員の方が気を利かせてくれ、他の参加者とは別に私たちだけに日本語で出発前の船内説明をして頂けて非常に親切でした。

また、船も乗り心地は快適で、途中雨が降ってきたときも屋根つきのためデッキからの非難ができ、最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
アルコール類も2杯までは無料で種類も豊富、ポテトチップスやあたたかい小料理もありました。

参加人数に比べ大き目の船でしたので、それぞれが思い思いの場所で過ごせるのもいい点でした。ハワイに来た時には、また参加したいと思いました。

This is a great option for those that get sea sick! The boat was very smooth! Brandon our waiter was fantastic, and was a good laugh. Would recommend and go again

Every year I go to Hawaii, but this was my first time sailing off Waikiki. There were about 10 participants that day, and we were the only Japanese. The ride was comfortable without any nausea-inducing swaying. The view of Waikiki from the sea was exceptional. There were quite a few turtles at the snorkeling point, which was enjoyable. However, there were no life jackets, just a floating noodle. They provide snorkeling gear for free, so if you're anxious, it's better to bring your own. The other catamaran tour I considered had life jackets (I noticed since they were at the same point). Drinks and snacks are available for purchase, so I recommend bringing your own water. The staff only spoke English but were friendly and kind. Since it departs from Waikiki Beach, it's easy to join, so I recommend it.

毎年ハワイに行っていながら、初のワイキキ沖セーリング。当日の参加者は10人ほどで日本人は私たちだけ。酔うような揺れもなく快適。沖から見るワイキキの眺めは格別でした。シュノーケルポイントにはカメさんも結構いて楽しめます。ただ・・・ライフジャケット等はなく、英語で「ヌードル」という浮く棒のみ。シュノーケルは無料で貸してくれます。なので、不安な方は持参した方がよいかと。迷ったもう１つのカタマランツアーにはライフジャケットがありました（同じポイントでやっていたのでわかりました）。飲み物、スナックは有料なのでお水等持参がおすすめ。スタッフは英語のみですが感じよく親切。ワイキキビーチ発なので気軽に参加できるのでおすすめです。

Was one of the best times as a family so much fun crew was friendly and very helpful. A must if ever In the area

It was quite fun to be out at sea and feel the speed while sailing with the wind. I was able to see Diamond Head from offshore.

沖合に出てから風で走っているときのスピードが結構速く楽しかった。ダイヤモンドヘッドを沖合から見る事が出来た。

I went surfing near Kapiolani Park in Waikiki. The instructor was a local, and he quickly remembered my face and name, giving necessary instructions in broken Japanese. Everyone else was a beginner, so the instructor was pushing the board for us when we were catching waves. I found it a bit lacking for my level. He also took pictures of me surfing, which I bought as a keepsake. It's a nice memento.

ワイキキのカピオラニ公園近くでのサーフィンでした。インストラクターは現地の人でしたが、ちゃんと顔と名前をすぐ覚えくれて、必要な指示はカタコトの日本語でしてくれました。私以外は全員初心者だったので、インストラクターは波に乗る時ボードを押してくれていました。私にはちょっと物足りなかったかな。波乗りしてる写真も撮ってくれたので記念に買いました。いい記念です。

My 49-year-old mother participated because of my daughter. It was her first time, but she managed to stand up once. My daughter was surfing really well. Being young is wonderful. The staff were all kind and pleasant.

娘の付き合いで４９歳の母も頑張って参加しました。初めてでしたが１度だけたてました。
娘はミルミル上手に波乗りしてました。若いって素敵。
スタッフはみんな優しくて感じいいですよ。

I was nervous participating alone without speaking English, but it was great to be in the same group as Japanese people. Once you get out to the sea, you end up being alone anyway, so I don't think there's any need to worry about participating solo. Riding the waves by yourself is difficult, but the staff pushes you at just the right moment, making it easy to catch the waves. However, as a beginner, the board was really big, and paddling was very challenging.

英語も話せずのひとり参加したのでドキドキでしたが、日本の方と同じグループだったので良かったです。海に出ると結局は一人になるので、ひとり参加でも不安になることは無いと思います。自分で波に乗るのは難しいですが、スタッフがちょうど良いタイミングで押してくれるので簡単に波に乗ることが出来ました。ただ、初心者だったのでボードがすごく大きくパドルで進むのがとっても大変でした。

I board the cruise every time to enjoy the last sunset in Hawaii.

Usually, the calm waters of Waikiki are a delight, but this time the waves and wind were unusually strong, causing the boat to sway a bit. However, it was still an enjoyable cruise.

There were many people surfing off Waikiki, riding the big waves that reminded me of the North Shore. I also had plenty of Mai Tais.

The sunset was more beautiful than usual, and I was able to see various rays of sunlight. Although it wasn't a green flash, it was stunning enough to be etched in my memory.

Every time, I whisper to myself that I will come back to see it again, and I enjoyed the last sunset in Hawaii. The cruise staff was wonderful too! I will definitely use this service again.

毎回、ハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しむために、乗船します。
いつもは穏やかなワイキキの海が、珍しく波が強く風も強く、やや船は揺れましたが、それはそれで楽しいクルーズでした。
ワイキキ沖でサーフィンを楽しむ人たちが多く、ノースを思わせるような大きな波に楽しそうに乗っていました。
マイタイもまたまた、たくさんいただきました。
サンセットも、いつも以上にきれいに見え、太陽の様々な光を見ることができました。グリーンフラッシュとはいかずとも、目に焼き付くような美しさでした。
毎回、また見に来るね~と、心でつぶやいてハワイ最後のサンセットを楽しみました。
クルーズスタッフも素敵でした！！
また、必ず利用します。
