All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The whole family enjoyed the music was off the hook This is a show u see in Vegas don't miss it

Several years I was scare to get on this. But the crew really take care of us. Safely. Is number. As you sail music is nice and loud. Crew pouring drinks
Don't miss out. We will. Be there next year

Didn't attend the dinner so I can't speak on that but the show itself was excellent. Very entertaining

This was so much fun. Much more intimate than originally expected. About 16 people were on the sail (3 of them were staff). The staff was super nice and informative. Fireworks were fun to watch. The view of the city lights was amazing. The bar is a cash only bar. This was well worth the money. We had a great time and consider this a must do.

Beautiful, relaxing cruise. Incredibly helpful crew, especially helping the older folks on board. Bathroom is only for the brave.

The weather was wonderful, and we were able to see a very beautiful sunset! The view of Diamond Head from the sea was also stunning!
The Mai Tai was the best♬

I recommend wearing clothes that can get wet and bringing motion sickness medication.

お天気にも恵まれ、とっても綺麗な夕日が見れました！海からみるダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗でした！
マイタイも最高♬

濡れても良いかっこ、酔い止め持参をおすすめします。

Excellent, a must see if you are going to Ohau, good food, plenty of drinks and the show was the best. The actors were spot on!!

Had a great time with friends, the crew was great. Wonderful day!

We alway do the star of Honolulu. Dinner is awesome. Lobster mmmm. Drinks. A little dancing at the end. With a great view

My wife and I had a great time! The food was good and the staff were all extremely polite and enthusiastic. The show was a treat and the dancers were all very gracious and patient about taking pictures with the guests. The views from the boat of the city and Diamond Head alone were worth the money. We'll surely do it again on our next trip back.

We enjoyed the chill and fun atmosphere. There are two crew: one captain and one lifeguard/firstmate/bartender

I thought the whale was smaller than expected, but the guide informed me that it was a baby whale. The jumps are brief, so it's easy to miss them, but that's just the nature of wild animals, so there's nothing that can be done about it. Due to our circumstances, I had to change the schedule over the phone on the day of the tour, but I was very grateful for the quick response in Japanese.

おもったより小さいクジラだなと思ったら、
ガイドさんが子供のクジラだと教えてくれました。
ジャンプするのも一瞬なので見落としがちですが、こればっかりは自然の動物の動きなので仕方がありませんね。
当方の都合で当日に電話で日程を変更してもらったりしましたが、日本語で迅速な対応していただき
とても助かりました。

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but we were able to see many fish, sharks, and sea turtles. I think the water clarity would be even better on a sunny day.

What was lucky was that we spotted a pod of dolphins from the boat on the way to the submarine.

Additionally, the guide's Japanese was very good and impressive. Above all, riding a submarine is a unique experience, and I believe this is a wonderful tour that allows people of all ages to enjoy water leisure in Hawaii. I especially recommend it for small children and elderly people who do not dive or snorkel.

残念ながらお天気が良くはなかったのですが、
たくさんのお魚やサメ、ウミガメも見られました。
天気がよいときっともっと水の透明度もいいのかな　と思います。

ラッキーだったのは、潜水艦に行くまでのボートからイルカの群れが見えた事。

あとはガイドの方の日本語もとても上手で素晴らしかったです。
なにより潜水艦に乗るなんてなかなか無い体験ですし、
せっかくのハワイで年齢に関わらずウォーターレジャーを楽しめるとても良いツアーだと思います。
特にダイビングやシュノーケルをしない　小さなお子さんやご年配の方に是非オススメです。

Unfortunately, it was raining.
But we were able to see a whale.
I thought it was smaller than expected, and the guide told us it was a baby whale.
The guide also talked about the whale's ecosystem and various other things, which was educational.

Before boarding the boat, we had our picture taken. I don't remember the price, but it turned out quite well, so I decided to purchase it.

残念ながら、雨だったんです。
でもクジラは見えました。
思ったよりも小さいなと思っていたら、ガイドさんが子供のクジラだと教えてくれました。
その他にもガイドさんはクジラの生態系やいろいろな事をお話してくれて勉強にもなりました。

船に乗り込む前に写真をとって貰い、値段は覚えていませんが、なかなかよく取れていて購入しました。

we took the morning cruise and did not see any whales. but, Navatek was true to their word - they gave us a second cruise. On the 2nd cruise, we saw 9 breach's. A great cruise and we are a returning customer. At we will be back again at some point in the future!

I had a great time.
The food was delicious, especially the steak. It was grilled over charcoal and was the best dish I've had at a Hawaiian dinner show so far.
It's definitely not overpriced.

とっても楽しめました
料理美味しかったです
特にステーキ　炭焼きで　今までのハワイディナーショーでの料理で
一番よかったです。
けして　高くない価格ですよ

The ship was larger than I expected, and there was no rocking. I was moved to see the humpback whales spouting water multiple times and their tails when they dove. I appreciated the kind assistance from the Japanese-speaking staff.

思った以上に船も大きく、揺れも無く、何度もザトウクジラが潮を吹く姿や、もぐる際の尾びれが見えて感動しました。
日本語対応の方の親切な対応、ありがたかったです。

I was satisfied because I could see whales. The airport transfer was also good. However, please note that you need to call after leaving the airport. I want to go to Hawaii again.

クジラも観れたし満足です
空港からの送迎もよかったです
ただし、空港出てからコールしないといけないみたいなのでご注意下さい
ハワイまた行きたいです

The food was delicious. Since it was a buffet style, I ended up eating too much. The dance was also sophisticated and impressive. It was standard, but the seats were only about one meter farther from the stage than those of non-standard guests, and there was no difference in the food. The standard seating was fine. I was surprised by how many people were in the audience.

　料理が美味しい．ビュッフェスタイルなので食べ過ぎてしまう。ダンスも洗練されていて迫力があった．スタンダードでしたが，座る席がスタンダードでない人より1メートルほどステージから遠いだけで料理も違いはなかった.スタンダードでよかった．観客が非常に多かったのには驚いた．

Three days before participating in this tour, I joined a snorkeling tour to swim with sea turtles and dolphins. Since it was a small boat, many people got seasick, which was quite a sight... Even I, who usually don’t get seasick, was taken aback by the scene. So I was worried about whether it would be okay to drink while on a yacht... I love alcohol, so I decided to observe for a while after we set sail. However, the sea in Waikiki was calm, and there were no seasick people. Thanks to the beautiful scenery and the fun staff, I gradually started enjoying my drinks. Normally, I only drink beer, but I also had a Mai Tai, and it became an incredibly wonderful memory! I truly recommend it! The scenery is amazing.

We participated in early January during New Year’s, but it gets really cold on the way back, so I recommend bringing a thick hoodie or something similar. It was perfectly fine on the way there in a tank top and shorts. I brought a long-sleeve shirt and a hoodie, which was just enough for warmth on the way back. There were others who didn’t bring any warm clothing, and they looked very cold and huddled up. The sea breeze after sunset is colder than you might expect.

Also, the yacht has a restroom, but my husband, who is 185 cm tall and weighs 80 kg, said it was very cramped and not hygienic. He mentioned it’s not a suitable space for large people or women, so be cautious. If you can’t hold it, that’s one thing, but it’s unpleasant if it’s not hygienic.

As for what to bring, sunglasses are a must since it’s quite bright. We only had one face towel for two people, which was sufficient. If you want to use it for warmth, it might be good to bring a bath towel each. However, that could be quite cumbersome, and it’s cold from the boat to the hotel, so if you plan to spread out a bath towel in town, I recommend bringing a hoodie or something similar.

By the way, the meeting point for this tour is Waikiki Beach in front of the Sheraton. The Lawson convenience store located on the first floor of the Sheraton sells bottled Starbucks coffee and sandwiches that are cheaper and tastier than those at ABC Store, so I recommend picking some up on your way back☆

The sunset cruise truly became a wonderful memory! HAPPY NIGHT☆

このツアーに参加する3日前に、ウミガメ・イルカと泳ぐシュノーケリングツアーに参加し、小さな船だった為船酔いの人が多数出て壮絶な光景に。。。
船酔いしない私でもその光景にびびってしまい。
なので、ヨットに乗りながらお酒飲むなんて大丈夫なのか…心配を通り越して、お酒大好きな私が、出港してもしばらく様子みながらクルージングをしてましたが、ワイキキは海が穏やかで船酔いの人もおらず、素晴らしい景色と楽しいスタッフのおかげで、いつの間にかお酒もすすみ、普段はビールしか飲まないのにマイタイも飲んで、すごくすごくすごく素敵な思い出になりました！！本当におすすめ！！
素晴らしい景色です。
私たちはお正月(1月初め)に参加しましたが、帰りはめちゃくちゃ寒いので、持ってくものは厚手のパーカー等をおすすめします。行きはタンクトップにショートパンツで全然大丈夫でした。
私はロンティーとパーカーを持ってきましたが、帰りの防寒はそれでやっとでした。
防寒を何も持ってきていない方もいましたが、とっても寒そうでちじこまっていました。
日が暮れてからの海風は想像以上に冷えます。
あと、ヨットにトイレがついていますが、185㎝・80㌔の主人が入ったところ、非常に狭くて衛生的でなく、大きい人や女性が入れる場所ではない、、、と言ってましたので要注意です。
我慢できなければ仕方ないですが、衛生的でないのは嫌ですね。
持ち物は、サングラスはあったほうがいいです。かなりまぶしいので。
タオルは、二人でフェイスタオル一枚でしたが、十分でした。寒さ除けにも使う方は、バスタオルを各自持ってもいいかもですね　　ただ、非常に荷物になるでしょうし、船を降りてからホテルまでも寒いので、まちなかでバスタオルを広げるなら、パーカー等を持って行かれるのをおすすめします。
余談ですが、このツアーの集合場所がシェラトンの前のワイキキビーチなんですが、シェラトンの1階に入ってるローソンが、スタバの瓶コーヒー等ＡＢＣストアより安く、サンドイッチも美味しかったので、帰りに買って帰るのもおすすめです☆

サンセットクルーズ　　本当に素敵な思い出になりました！！
ＨＡＰＰＹ　ＮＩＧＨＴ☆

I attended with my wife. It was our first time doing stand-up paddleboarding, and we had a great time. The winter Waikiki Beach has calmer waves compared to places like Kailua, and the water is clear, allowing us to see corals and sea turtles, making it an excellent spot for beginners. It's also just a short walk from our hotel, and the lessons are brief, so it's really recommended for those looking to "experience" it.

The only complaint I have is that even though it included photo shooting, they only took pictures during the first 10 minutes of the lesson. So, we didn't get any "cool" photos when we were more comfortable. If they could have taken photos for 5 minutes at the beginning and end of the lesson, it would have been a perfect 5-star experience.

妻と参加しました。初めてのスタンドアップパドルでしたが、とても楽しめました。冬のワイキキビーチは、カイルアなどと比べると波も穏やかだし、水は澄んでいて、サンゴやウミガメが見えたりして、初心者には最高の場所かも知れません。ホテルからも歩いてすぐの距離にあって、レッスンも短時間なので本当に"体験"するにはオススメです。唯一、不満を挙げるとすると、写真撮影付きとは言え、実際に撮影してくれたのはレッスンの初めの10分間くらいなので、慣れてきた頃の"カッコいい"写真は撮って貰えなかったところです。折角だったら、レッスンの初めと終わりのそれぞれ5分間を撮って貰えたら大満足の5スターでした。

We signed up for a whale watching tour on December 18, 2013, in the morning. I had heard that the best season to see whales is from December to March, but I was also informed that the chances of seeing whales during the morning in December are low. Unfortunately, we were unable to see any whales, which was very disappointing. However, we learned on the day of the tour that if we didn't see any whales, we could participate in an afternoon whale watching tour that included lunch. Unfortunately, we had another commitment in the afternoon, so we couldn't join the whale watching again. I regretted not confirming in advance that we could participate for free if we didn't see any whales.

In the end, while we didn't see any whales, there were still good and bad points. The good points were that the boat ride was very pleasant, and the views were beautiful. Opportunities to ride on a boat are rare in Japan, so the scenery of Waikiki from the boat was wonderful. Additionally, there were several activities to entertain the children, ensuring they didn't get bored.

As for the bad points, there were not many, but the air conditioning was too strong, making the interior of the boat cold. This might be because people in Hawaii tend to feel hot, but most Japanese guests were feeling cold, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

Although we didn't see any whales, the guide was friendly, and the views from the boat were fantastic, so we were satisfied.

私たちは2013年12月18日AMのホエールウォッチングに申し込みをしました。クジラが良く見えるシーズンは12月〜3月だと聞いていましたが、12月午前のホエールウォッチングは、クジラを見れる確率が低いとも聞いていました。結果的にクジラを見ることはできませんでした。非常に残念でした。ただし、クジラを見る事ができなかった場合に限り、ランチ付きの午後のホエールウォッチングにも参加できることを当日知りました。しかし、私たちは午後から別の予定を入れていた為にもう一度ホエールウォッチングに参加することはできませんでした。クジラを見れなかった場合、無料でもう一度参加できる事を事前に確認していればよかったと後悔しました。
結果的にクジラは見れませんでしたが、それでも良かった点、悪かった点はありまし。良かった点は船上はとても気持ちがよく眺めがキレイであった事です。船に乗る機会は日本でもあまりないので、船から眺めるワイキキの景色は素晴らしかったです。また、子供たちを楽しませる企画がいくつかあり、子供が退屈にならないような工夫がありました。
悪かった点は、ほとんどありませんでしたが空調が効きすぎて船内が寒かった事です。これはハワイの方たちが暑がりなこともあるかもしれませんが、日本人はほとんど寒がっていたので、上着を持って参加される事をお勧めします。
クジラは見れませんでしたが、ガイドさんの対応も良く、船上からの景色も最高でしたので、満足できました。

We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, and they came to pick us up at the terminal of the neighboring Hilton Hotel. The person in charge was an American who spoke a little Japanese.

After leaving the hotel, we next stopped at the Hyatt Hotel to pick up more tour guests. It took about 30 minutes from when we first boarded to arrive at the dock, where we boarded the whale watching boat. Before boarding, we took photos in front of the dock building (which will be available for purchase later, around $12). Once on the boat, there were about 30 table seats, and it seemed like there was space for over 100 people on one floor. Since we arrived early, we were able to sit by the window. After a while, coffee and tea were prepared, and we could help ourselves to them. It was hot outside, but the air conditioning inside the boat was quite strong, making it a bit chilly, so I warmed up with hot coffee.

As the boat set off, we headed out to search for whales. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach were incredibly beautiful. The deck was divided into three levels, with about six spots at the front and back. On this day, we ended up searching for about 1.5 hours but were unable to see any whales. However, since we could join the afternoon trip for free, I felt it was a good service for those who really want to see whales. Although we didn't see any whales, I felt that being on the boat and enjoying the beautiful scenery was worthwhile.

私たちはロイヤルハワイアンズに泊まっていたのですが、となりのヒルトンホテルのターミナルまで迎えにきてくれました。担当者は日本語が少し話せるアメリカ？人でした。
ホテルを出ると、次はハイアットホテルに止まりまたツアー客を乗せて走って行きました。最初に乗ってからだいたい30分くらいで船着場に到着し、ホエールウォッチング用の船に乗り込みます。乗り込む前に船着場の建物の前で写真を撮られます。（後ほど販売があります。確か$12くらい）。船に乗り込むと、テーブル席が30席ほどあり、おそらく1フロアで100人以上は入りそうなスペースがあります。早めについたので、窓側の席に座ることができました。しばらくすると、コーヒー、紅茶の用意がされて、セルフでそれを飲むことができました。外は暑かったですが、船の中は冷房が効きすぎていて少し寒いくらいだったので、ホットコーヒーで暖まれました。船が動き出すと、ホエールを探して沖に出ます。ダイヤモンドベッドやワイキキのビーチが非常に綺麗な眺めでした。デッキは3階に分かれていて、前方後方に6箇所くらいずつあります。この日は結局1.5時間くらい探し回ったのですがクジラを見る事ができませんでした。ただ、午後の回にも無料で参加することができるため、絶対にクジラがみたいな方にとっては良いサービスだと感じました。クジラは見れませんでしたが、船に乗って綺麗な景色を見れた事は価値があることだと感じました。

I participated in a morning whale watching tour. I was picked up from the Ala Moana Hotel and arrived at the pier in about 10 minutes.

Once on board, I enjoyed a drink while listening to the whale watching lecture in both English and Japanese. After the explanation, we finally went outside and headed to the viewing point while enjoying the scenery of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Along the way, three dolphins appeared, leading us while playing. It was very lucky to be able to enjoy the dolphins up close, even though it was a whale watching tour.

When we reached the point, we saw the spouts of humpback whales multiple times. We could see them coming up from the surface, but we couldn't tell what actions they were doing with the naked eye. Still, the guide's explanations made it enjoyable enough. I think it would be even more enjoyable if you bring binoculars. The view from the ship's observation deck (the top floor that can hold about 13 people) was also fantastic and perfect for taking photos.

We set sail around 9 o'clock for a tour that lasted about 2 hours, and I felt that 2 hours was just the right length. I was able to play a lot at another location in the afternoon, so I was glad I chose the morning tour. I plan to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii.

午前中のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
アラモアナホテルからピックアップをしてもらい、10分ほどでピアに到着しました。

船内に乗りこみ、ドリンクを飲みながらホエールウォッチングのレクチャーを英語と日本語で聞き、説明が終わるといよいよ外に出て、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色を楽しみながら、ポイントまで行きます。
途中でイルカ3匹が登場して、遊びながら先導してくれました。ホエールウォッチングなのに、イルカも間近で楽しむことができてとてもラッキーでした。

ポイントに到達すると、ザトウクジラの潮吹きは何度もみれました。
海面から出てきた姿も見えましたが、肉眼ではどんな行動をしたかまでは分かりませんでした。
それでもガイドさんの説明があるので十分楽しめました。双眼鏡を持参すれば、さらに楽しめると思います。
船の展望台（13人くらいしか乗れない最上階のところ）からの眺めも最高で、写真を撮るのに最適でした。

9時頃に出航して約2時間くらいのツアーでしたが、2時間がちょうど良い長さだと感じました。午後は別の場所でたっぷり遊べたので、午前のツアーにして良かったです。
また次回、ハワイに行く時も参加するつもりです。

I participated on January 1st. I definitely saw whales. After going out to sea and listening to the explanation about humpback whales, I went out on deck. After a while, two dolphins appeared. They swam alongside the boat, leading the way, and they were very cute. I was hoping to see a whale next, but it didn't show up for a while. I wondered if there were really any whales... and then I spotted one ahead! It was quite far away, but it surfaced and showed its tail before diving back down. I waited to see if it would come closer, but it didn't appear. After changing locations and waiting for a while, I was lucky enough to see a second whale in the direction we moved. Unfortunately, it was still far away.

I definitely saw whales, but I had expected to see them much closer, to the point where I would get splashed, so in that sense, my expectations were too high. On the way back, I looked at the photos taken of the whales that appeared, and the photographer had a camera with a good zoom lens, so the whales looked like the ones you see in brochures. However, I couldn't see them that clearly with the naked eye. Still, I definitely saw whales twice, the crew was kind, and it was clear they were trying hard to show passengers as many whales as possible. Plus, I got to see Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sea side, so the cruising experience was very good, especially with the nice weather. The two hours flew by. When you think about it, getting nature's creatures to show up as you wish is, in a way, close to a miracle.

I was picked up by a bus at the hotel, and it was easy to identify because they held a sign that said "Whale." The boat hardly rocked at all, and I was comfortable drinking coffee in the cool cabin. If I had seen the whales up close, it would have been five stars, but since they were far away, I’ll give it three stars.

１月１日に参加しました。クジラ確かに見られました。
海に出てザトウクジラの説明を聞いてから甲板に出ました。
しばらくすると、イルカ２頭が登場。
船を先導するように泳いでいて、とてもかわいかったです。
それからクジラが出るのを期待していたのですが、なかなか現れません。
本当にクジラがいるのかなぁ。。。と思っていたら前方に発見！
けっこう遠かったのですが、ザバーンと尾びれを水面に出して潜っていきました。
それからもっと近くで見られないかと待っていましたが、現れません。
場所を変えてしばらく待っていたら、ラッキーなことに移動した方向に２回目のクジラが現れました。でも、残念ながら遠かったです。
クジラは間違いなく見られましたが、私はもっと水しぶきがかかるほど近くで見られると思っていたので、そういう意味では期待が大きすぎました。
帰りの船内で今回現れたクジラの写真を撮った写真を見たのですが、カメラマンはしっかり望遠が付いたカメラで撮影していたのでパンフレットで見られるようなクジラの姿でした。
でも、肉眼ではここまではっきりとは見られませんでした。
それでも確かにクジラは２回見られたし、クルーのみなさんも親切だったし、乗客に１回でも多くのクジラを見せたいと頑張っている様子も伝わったし、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキビーチを海側から見られたので、クルージングとしても天気に恵まれてとても良かったです。２時間はあっという間でした。考えてみたら自然の生物を相手にして思い通りに登場してくれるなんて、ある意味奇跡に近いところもありますからね。
バスでホテルに迎えに来ていただいたのですが「クジラ」と書いたプレートを持っていてくれたので分かりやすかったです。
船もほとんど揺れなかったし、客室で涼しい中コーヒーを飲めて快適でした。
近くで見られたら５つ星でしたが遠かったので３つ星にします。

We had an excellent time on our cruise! We saw whales almost immediately, a mama and her calf. We followed them for about an hour, seeing mostly their backs and spouts, but right at the end the baby started breaching over and over! Mama breached once, too. Totally worth it!!!

Cruise on a catamaran yacht. We chose sunset time. The sea and sunset were beautiful, and the yacht was at a good speed. The Mai Tai served on board was also great. It was so good that I could go on it multiple times. Sunset cruises are popular, so I'm glad I made a reservation from Japan.

カタマランヨットでのクルーズ。サンセットの時間をチョイス。すごく海、夕日がきれいで、ヨットはよいスピード。船上でだされるマイタイも◎
何度のっても良いくらいだった。サンセットは人気なので、日本から予約して行けてよかった。

I thought the whales were quite far away, but I was very satisfied because I was able to see the dolphins at a very close distance.

クジラはかなり遠いのでこんなものかな？と思いましたが、イルカがかなり近い距離で見れたので大変満足しています。

It was a relaxing cruise after a long work day! The crew was accomodating, frendly and professional. Grat time was had by all!

I heard that this is the only outdoor luau show near Waikiki, so I signed up. Although I had a standard seat, the venue itself isn't very large, so it was quite impressive and worth watching. When I arrived at the meeting place just before 5 PM, participants were already lined up waiting to enter, but since I was one of the early ones, I was guided to the very front seat of the standard section. I think it's better to arrive early since those who come first get seated closer to the front.

While waiting for the show to start, there were activities like bracelet making and tattoo experiences, which made the kids very happy. From the venue, we could see the sunset over the ocean, which was very beautiful.

As for the food, I had high expectations because it was "Hilton," but I think it was decent for a buffet dinner included with the show. A downside was that I had to wait in a long line when I went to get the food initially. Since it seemed like there wouldn't be a shortage of food, it might have been better to relax at my seat and enjoy drinks until the line disappeared.

ワイキキ近辺で野外でのルアウショーはここだけと聞いて申し込みました。
スタンダードシートでしたが、会場自体がそれほど広くないので、十分に迫力があり見ごたえがありました。５時すこし前に集合場所に行くとすでに参加者が並んで入場を待っていましたが、早い方だったのでスタンダードシートの一番前の席に案内していただけました。早い人から前の席に案内してもらえるので、早めに行った方がいいと思います。
ショーが始まるまでの待ち時間は、ブレスレット作りやタトゥーの体験などが出来て、子どもが喜んでいました。会場からは海に沈む夕日が見えて、とてもきれいでした。
料理は『ヒルトンだから』と期待していたほどではなかったけれど、ディナーつきショーのブッフェディナーとしては、まずまずだと思います。最初に料理をもらいに行くときに、かなり並ばなければなかったのがマイナス点。料理がなくなることはなさそうだったので、列がなくなるまで席でゆっくりドリンクを飲んで待ってたらよかったのかもしれません。
