All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

This catamaran sunset cocktail cruise was very enjoyable. Mai Tai's were great... My husband is still talking about them. Crew was awesome. Boat was comfortable and fireworks were actually really good for a random Tuesday night. Would definitely recommend!

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

We took the dinner cruise on our first night's stay here in Hawaii! It was the best start to our vacation that we could have had! The food was fabulous and the entertainment was superb! We would highly recommend this dinner cruise to kick off anyone's vacation here in the islands!!

good teachers and great waves!
this was the first time to play surffing but I could catch the wave!!

A sailing trip for about an hour starting at 3:30 PM. It's not often that you get to view Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean, but participating in this sailing allows you to enjoy the land views from the sea. Since it's still early and the sun hasn't set yet, it's not a sunset cruise, but on a nice day, the breeze is truly pleasant. The catamaran-style boat doesn't rock too much, so it's comfortable. There are separate restrooms for men and women, so even though the sailing is only for an hour, there's no need to worry about that. This tour includes two drink vouchers in addition to the boarding fee. Both alcoholic and soft drinks are available, and there's a bar counter where cocktails can be made. I went out on the deck, enjoyed a draft beer while feeling the refreshing sea breeze and sun, and took in the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head right in front of me. It was a liberating sailing experience, and I plan to repeat it if I have the chance. For those who prefer not to be directly exposed to the wind and sun, there is also an indoor area where you can enjoy the scenery. The boat itself feels very clean and new. Although the sailing time is short at one hour, I thought it was still quite enjoyable.

午後１５：３０から約１時間のセーリング。なかなか海側からワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めることはないが、このセーリングに参加すると、海側から陸の眺望を楽しむことができる。陽が沈むにはまだ早い時間なので、サンセットとはいかないが、天気の良い日は風が本当に心地よい。カタマラン式の船なので、揺れもさほど気にならない。トレイも男性用と女性用がそれぞれあるので、１時間という短時間ではあるが、トイレの心配は無用である。このツアーには乗船代のほかにドリンク券が２枚付いてくる。アルコールもソフトドリンクもある。カクテルなども作ってくれるバーカウンターが備わっている。私はデッキに出て、ドラフトビールを飲みながら心地よい海風と太陽、そして目の前に広がるワイキキとダイアモンドヘッドの眺めを楽しんだ。開放感たっぷりのセーリングで、また機会があればリピートする予定。風や太陽を直接浴びたくない人は室内もあるので、そこから景色を楽しむこともできる。船自体はとても綺麗で新しい感じがするほど清潔である。セーリング時間は１時間と短いが、それでも十分に堪能できるものとなっていると思った。

This was my second time participating, following last year's trip to Hawaii. The sunset cruise in Hawaii is typically enjoyed on a large ship while dining, but this tour is perfect for those who want to avoid a crowd of Japanese tourists and enjoy an open, thrilling cruise with unlimited drinks. The boat speeds out to sea quite quickly, making it quite exhilarating. With music playing, everyone gets into the groove. There are few Japanese participants, allowing for a unique camaraderie typical of foreigners, making this tour highly recommended. The crew also entertains with jokes, of course, in English... I realized that having at least a basic level of English conversation skills enhances the experience even more. I would love to join this tour again on my next trip to Hawaii.

去年のハワイ旅行に引き続き、2回目の参加でした。ハワイのサンセットクルーズは、大型船で食事を楽しみながらというのが王道。しかし、日本人だらけはイヤ、開放的でスリリングなクルーズを楽しみたい、お酒飲み放題がいい、という人にはもってこいのツアーです。結構なスピードで沖まで進むので、かなりスリリング。音楽をかけながら、みんなノリノリ。日本人は少なく、ガイジン特有の意気投合が楽しめるオススメのツアーです。クルーも冗談を交えながら、楽しませてくれます。もちろん、英語で・・・。日常会話程度の英語力があれば、さらに楽しめると痛感しました。次回のハワイ旅行でもまた参加したいツアーです。

I participated in the VIP course. As expected, it was a very enjoyable experience from the food to the show. The addition of hula made it a truly unique Hawaiian entertainment experience.

VIPのコースで参加しました。評判通り、食事からショーまで　とても楽しい体験でした。フラも加わり、ハワイならではのエンターテイメントに　とても良かったです。

I was the only one participating alone, but I had a great time. I joined with the mindset that it would be fine to just take some photos. There were mostly foreigners, but everyone was lively and having fun. The sunset was beautiful, so I think it became a nice memory. However, it gets cold, so you'll need something to wear over your clothes, and women might find shorts a bit tight. I had a towel that I borrowed from the hotel, which worked perfectly as a lap blanket. I was also lucky to catch a glimpse of the rainbow. I would love to participate again, but next time with someone!

一人での参加は私だけでしたが楽しめました。
写真でも撮ってればいいやぐらいの気持ちで参加しました。
外人ばかりでしたが個々に陽気に盛り上がっていました。
サンセットがきれいだったのでいい思い出になったと思います。ただ寒くなるので羽織るもの必要とあと女性は短パンはきついかも。私はホテルから借りていたタオルがあったのでそれをひざ掛け代わりにしていたらちょうどよかったです。レインボーも運よくうっすら見れてラッキーでした。また参加したいです。でも次回は誰かと！！

Had an absolutely great day. I have only done one other dive about 20 years ago, so I booked an introductory 2 tank dive. The instruction by Bob was excellent. There was just myself and 1 other customer on our first dive then on the second we were joined by another instructor. We had encounters with Scorpion Leaf Fish, Moray Eels, Star Fish and not forgetting the best of all, the Octopus, which decided to attach itself to Bobs face. We were allowed to touch many of the different species under the close observation of our instructors. We spent at least 20-25 mins on the first dive and probably 30-35 minutes on the second. A truly memorable day from collection from my hotel to being dropped back off again. Wish I'd done it at the beginning of my holiday to then get certified from PADI. I'll just do it the next time.....

My husband, myself, and our two children (ages 4 and 2) participated, along with a total of 8 people including my husband's parents and his brother and sister-in-law. Since half of us were first-timers to Hawaii, we considered the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we thought it might be tough for the kids to stay out late watching the final show and then return to the hotel close to midnight. Staying at the Hilton was also a deciding factor.

The PDF for the meeting point indicated that it was the chapel, but currently, we gather directly at the venue. If possible, it would be great to correct this to avoid confusion for those who come later.

Upon arriving at the venue, we were given shell necklaces and fresh flower leis (only for the Golden Circle) to wear, and we took commemorative photos with the dancers. It cost $20, and although it felt a bit large, the photos turned out so well that I wondered if they had been edited (laughs). They even came to show us on an iPad.

Once seated, we were served welcome drinks, including Mai Tais (non-alcoholic options are available). I don't think the alcohol was very strong. The admission ticket included two drink vouchers, and additional orders could be placed for about $12. However, the cocktails felt a bit plain without flowers or fruits, so I was fine with just two. The food was okay, but there seemed to be too many types of meat. The fruits were popular and ran out quickly. The cake was, as expected, very sweet (laughs). Those in the Golden Circle were allowed to line up first to get their servings.

The show was in a much smaller venue than the Cultural Center, which allowed us to see everything up close, and we were very satisfied. During the final fire show, I could really feel the heat when the flames from the dancers' torches passed nearby. Afterward, the dancers were in the hallway and took photos with us. I was surprised to see that many of them were quite short (they seemed taller on stage).

We went on the last day, and since the show ended at 8:30 PM, those with early flights on the day of departure can still do some last-minute shopping in Waikiki! I highly recommend it!

主人、私、子供（4歳と2歳）

が早くてワイキキに行けない人にも最後の買い物行けますよ！おススメです！

The pleasant sea breeze and the setting sun felt absolutely wonderful. They kept offering us unlimited Mai Tais, and I ended up getting quite tipsy. The people I met were friendly, taking photos of each other! It was a fun time. I definitely recommend it for anyone who isn't prone to seasickness.

心地よい潮風と沈んで行く夕日が最高に気持ち良かったです。飲み放題のマイタイもどんどんすすめてくれて、結構酔ってしまいました。一緒になった方々もフレンドリーで写真を撮ってあげたり撮られたり！楽しい一時でした。船が弱い方以外なら是非おすすめです。

We participated as a group of five adults. We arrived about 15 minutes before check-in and were waiting in line, but we were told to step aside because "the reservation is only for two people." I mentioned that we had already completed payment for five and presented the printed voucher, but they said they needed to confirm with the captain, so we were made to wait on the beach until just before departure. In the end, we were able to board, but the boat was nearly full, and there were no seats available together, so the five of us had to sit separately, which diminished the enjoyment.

The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was beautiful, and the breeze was pleasant. Although there were many clouds that day and it wasn't a beautiful sunset, I think the tour content would have been good if there hadn't been any troubles.

Also, after making the reservation, I received emails for confirmation and re-confirmation, but I would have appreciated it more if I had been informed about the total cost breakdown based on the rate used for calculation.

Having participated in various tours before, this was the first time I experienced something like this, so I rated it two stars.

大人５名で参加しました。チェックインの15分位前には到着し、並んでいたのですが、「予約が２名でしか入ってない」とのことで、列を外れて待つように言われました。５名分の支払いは終わっています！と言って印刷して持っていたバウチャーを差し出しましたが、キャプテンに確認しないとダメだとのことで、出航直前まで浜辺で待たされました。結局乗船出来ましたが、ほぼ満席で、まとまって空いている席がなく、５人はバラバラに座ることになり、楽しさ半減しました。
海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色はきれいで、風も気持ちよく、当日は雲が多くてきれいなサンセットではありませんでしたが、トラブルがなければツアー内容は良かったと思います。
あと…申し込み後に予約確認、再確認とメールをいただきましたが、いくらのレートで計算されたのか、ツアー総計の明細をお知らせ頂ければもっと良かったかなと思います。
今まで色々なツアーに参加して、初めての出来事でしたので今回は辛口で星２つとさせていただきました。

The winds and waves of Waikiki that you can't experience on a large ship. It was a wonderful time, as if I were in a scene from a movie, with two cool men steering the yacht and entertaining us. There were only two groups of Japanese people, while the foreigners were dancing to the music and everyone was really into it. Just watching was fun. This was a tour that made me feel like, "This is Hawaii!"

大きな船では味わえない、ワイキキの風と波。
かっこいい男性二人がヨットの舵取りと接待をして、まるで映画のワンシーンの中にいるような素晴らしい時間でした。日本人は二組だけで、やはり外国の方は音楽にあわせて踊ったり、皆ノリノリでした。見ているだけで楽しかったです。
これがハワイ！と感じられるツアーでした。

Since I didn't have much time, I decided to go to a Polynesian show in the city on my last day in Hawaii. The fire show was very impressive, and the hula dancers were all beautiful, which was great.

時間がないので街中でポリネシアンショーと思いハワイ最終日に行かせていただきました。ファイアーショーはとても迫力ありフラは綺麗な方ばかりでよかったですよ。

We participated as a family, from our 5-year-old and 2-year-old children to those over 70. It was a voyage that the kids could enjoy with excitement. The sunset was amazing! We want to join again!

５才と２さいの子供から70才過ぎまで家族で参加しました。
子供もキャッキャと楽しめる航海でした。
サンセットも最高！また参加したいです！

The all-you-can-drink Mai Tais were great, and I got to see the best sunset while enjoying the refreshing breeze from the yacht! It was also nice that there were not many Japanese people around.

マイタイ飲み放題で、最高のサンセットが見れて、ヨットの風が気持ち良く凄く良かったです！日本人が少なかったのも良かったです

After just arriving in Waikiki two days earlier this was a great way to relax with the family. Would certainly recomend doing the crew were great and the music was fantastic.

It was pretty cool being in submarine, but we were a little disappointed in how many fish and marine life we saw. I guess that's due to luck. But nonetheless still a pretty cool activity.

It was a very cost-effective and enjoyable tour. The sailing was pleasant with a nice breeze, and I had no worries. Most importantly, I got to encounter nearly ten dolphins and two graceful turtles. It's not guaranteed that you'll always meet dolphins and turtles, but I participated in the tour hoping to see them, and I was able to create wonderful memories. I would definitely like to join again when I go to Hawaii.

非常にコストパフォーマンスの高い楽しいツアーでした。セーリングは風が気持ちよく、不安もなく、何よりも10頭近いイルカと優雅に泳ぐカメ2ひきに出会うことができました。イルカやカメとはいつも出会えるとは限らないそうですが、きっと会えると思ってツアーに参加したら、最高の思い出を作ることができました。また、ハワイに行くときは再度参加したいと思っています。

On the evening of the day I arrived in Honolulu, I quickly made a reservation for a cruise. I enjoyed my first cruise in Hawaii! The two male staff members were cheerful and lively. The sky and ocean were a brilliant blue, but as the sun began to set, Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the sparkling surface of the water created a beautiful scene, making me feel very happy from the very first day!

ホノルル到着した日の夕方、早速クルーズの予約を入れました。ハワイで初クルーズを楽しめました！男性2名のスタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれてました。真っ青な青空と海でしたが、少しずつ夕日が沈んでいき、ワイキキ、ダイアモンドヘッド、キラキラと光る水面と、とても美しくて初日からとても幸せな気分になりました♪

Overall, it was a lot of fun.
During my first trip to Hawaii, the experience of "surfing while looking at Diamond Head!" is something I think is quite rare.

With that in mind, here are the good and bad points:
1. Good points
- Using a long board makes it relatively easy to stand up. They push you from behind, so it's fine. No one in the same group had trouble standing.
- The location is absolutely fantastic! You can enjoy long rides while looking at Diamond Head. It feels really great.
- They take photos for you. $30 plus tax. The number of photos increases based on how many rides you take.

2. Bad points
- Women who couldn't get out to sea were left behind. The instructor only pulled them once at the beginning. As a result, those who couldn't go out on their own had fewer chances to ride the waves. I think if there were helpers, everyone could have enjoyed it more.
- The teaching was rough for the price. Even setting aside the fact that it's in English, in Japan, you would get more thorough instruction for half the price. I felt it was just a name for a lesson. They were just pushing from behind.

I wrote both good and bad points, but as I mentioned at the beginning, since it's Hawaii, which is an amazing place, I still recommend it.
It's a great memory for your trip!

3. Bonus
Be careful as it can be more tiring than you think. I think it's better to avoid hiking Diamond Head on the same day.

総合的にみて、とても楽しかったです。
初めてのハワイで、『ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらサーフィン！』という体験はなかなか出来ないと思います。

それを踏まえて以下の良い点、悪い点を書きます。
１．良い点
・長い板を使うので比較的簡単に立つことができる。後ろから押してくれるし大丈夫。同じグループで立てない人はいませんでした。
・ロケーションが最高に良い！ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらロングライドも可能です。とても気分が良いです。
・写真を撮ってくれる。＄３０プラス税金。乗った分だけ写真が増えます。

２．悪い点
・沖に出られない女性は放って置かれていました。先生が引っ張ってくれるのは最初の１回だけでした。結果、沖に自力で行けない人は波に乗る回数が少ないです。ヘルプ係とかいれば皆で楽しめたのにと思います。
・値段の割に教え方が雑。英語なのは置いといても、日本なら半額でもっと丁寧に教えてくれます。レッスンとは名ばかりだなと思いました。ただ後ろから押してるだけじゃん。

良い点、悪い点の両方を書きましたが、最初に書いた通りハワイという最高の場所なので、やっぱりお勧めです。
旅の思い出には最高ですよ！

３．おまけ
自分で思っている以上に疲れるので注意してください。同じ日にダイヤモンドヘッド登山とかはやめた方が良いと思います。

This is my second time participating. The first time was many years ago, so I thought I would join again. I believe the quality was still high and wonderful. It included a VIP dinner, and the food was delicious, which made me very satisfied. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have one more person... or to have been able to watch a little longer.

2回目の参加です。1回目はもう何年も前なので、もう一度参加してみようと思いました。変わらず質は高くすばらしかったと思います。VIPディナー付きでしたが、お料理もおいしくて大変満足しました。欲を言えば、もう1人・・とか、もう少し長く見てたかったです。

We were really excited to do this tour! When we got there the tour guides were very friendly and chill. When we got out to where we were snorkeling I had a bit of a freak out when I got into the water. I looked down and saw so many fish under my feet! The one tour guide came over and helped me overcome my fear. I got in and out of the boat many times. We also saw so many turtles! After snorkeling we went on a nice sail while enjoying some well deserved drinks. All in all this was a fabulous for the price point of the tour! I would totally do this again!

The stunning and graceful Hawaiian women performing hula captivated not only me, a man, but surely all the audience members. In particular, that unique hip-swaying dance was both alluring and truly representative of traditional hula. The highlight was the male dancers' fire performances, which are said to be acrobatic. That scene is still vividly etched in my mind; it was that impressive. The next time I visit Hawaii, I definitely want to make sure to see this luau show again.

容姿端麗で、可憐なハワイアン女性のフラダンスに魅了されたのは、男性の私だけでなくすべての観客が感じていたことでしょう。特に、あの独特の腰を振る踊りはなまめかしくもあり、これこそ伝統のフラダンスと言えるでしょう。圧巻は、男性踊りの火を使った曲芸とも言われるもの。いまだにこの光景が脳裡にしっかりと焼き就いています。それだけ印象的だったのです。次回もハワイを訪れた際には、このルアウショウだけは必ず観賞したいと思っています。

This was my favorite activity while in Waikiki. I could have sailed all day! Had a great crew and was very relaxing. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

This was my third time in Hawaii, but my first cruise.
I made the reservation online, and the duration was only two hours, which was short and convenient.
The price was reasonable, and it had good reviews.
The meeting point was easy to find since it was at the hotel beach.
I read online reviews and thought it would be rocky and wet, so I didn't bring my DSLR camera, but it didn't rock or get wet at all.

There were only foreign groups and couples; we were the only Japanese family.
I had anticipated this from the reviews I read beforehand.
The explanations were all in English, so I could only understand them through nuance, but both crew members were cheerful nice guys.
With free drinks and pleasant music playing, the view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the changing beauty of the sunset from the sea was truly wonderful.
My daughters made friends with participants from a tour from Australia and seemed to realize the importance of learning English.

I had a great experience at the end of the trip.
I thought I would like to go on this cruise again on my next trip.

ハワイは3回目ですが、初クルーズでした。
ネットで予約出来て、時間も2時間と拘束時間が短く、
料金も手頃で評判が良いものにしました。
待ち合わせの場所もホテルのビーチなのでわかりやすかったです。
ネットでの評判を読んで、揺れて濡れると思って一眼レフカメラを
持って行かなかったのですが、全然揺れも濡れもしませんでした。

外国人の団体やカップルばかりで、日本人ファミリーは私たちだけでした。
これも事前の評判でよんでいたので、想定内でした。
説明が全て英語だったので、ニュアンスでしか理解できなかったのですが、
クルーは2人とも陽気なナイスガイで、フリードリンクで
心地よいミュージックも流れ、何より海上から見るワイキキの街や
ダイヤモンドヘッド、刻々と変わるサンセットの美しさは
非常に素晴らしかったです。
娘たちはオーストラリアからのツアー参加者と友達になり、
英語を学ぶ大切さを身をもって感じてくれた様子です。

旅の最後にとても良い体験が出来ました。
次の旅行でもまた乗りたいなと思いました。

I participated in the 3 PM session. Like everyone else's experiences, we were the only Japanese people, and everything was conducted in English. It seemed that there were many acquaintances of the crew, possibly due to the low number of customers.

Because of that, the splashing service was intense, and we ended up completely soaked. My husband's beer apparently didn't taste like seawater.

I didn't drink, but being soaked and drinking would make me want to go to the bathroom, so it seemed tough for my husband.

The experience was thrilling, a bit chaotic, and had a foreign vibe that was interesting. I would like to ride again.

15時の回に参加しました。　皆様の体験談　同様　私達の時も日本人は私達だけで　
全て　英語で話しが進み　お客さんが少ないのか　船員さんのお知り合いが　沢山いらっしゃったようです。　　

そのせいか　水しぶきサービスが　半端なく　全身びじょびじょで　主人の持っていた
ビールは　海水の味しなかったらしいです。

わたしは　飲みませんでしたが　びしょ濡れで飲むとトイレに行きたくなるので　主人は　大変そうでした。

体験は　スリルもあり　なーなーさもあり　外国っぽくて面白かったです。
また　乗ってみたいです。

Absolutely loved the dinner cruise. It was the height of our vacation! The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was Delicious and the entertainment was superb!! From beginning to end-FABULOUS!!

I thought I would see a lot of fish since it was a submarine, but there were no fish at all, and I was just looking at the seabed. It's better not to expect any fish.

潜水艦だったのでたくさんの魚が見れると思ったのですが
全く魚がおらずただただ海底を見ているだけでした
魚は期待しないほうがいいです。

It was truly refreshing once we set sail from the beach! We went as far as we could see the views of Hawaii Kai and then turned back. As we headed west, the sun began to set, and we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset. It was the perfect moment while sipping on a Mai Tai. I would love to participate again.

浜から沖へ出て、セイリングが始まってからは、爽快そのものでした！ハワイカイの景色が見えるあたりまで行って引き返し、西に向かった頃から太陽が沈み始め最高の夕陽も鑑賞できました。マイタイを傾けながらの最高のひと時でした。また参加したいと思っています。
