All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

*Written by the teenager
My parents and I went on this snorkel trip as kind of a last minute thing and it was absolutely amazing. There is usually about 25 people on the boat but we got lucky and were aboard the boat with just one other family of three, also with a teenager. The snorkeling spot is perfect! I would definitely recommend bringing fins, they aren't provided or required but your experience will be much better with them. There are lots of fish but not a huge variety. The main thing is the turtles and there's plenty of those! They chill at the bottom and occasionally come up for air. If you have fins you can dive down about 15 feet and be near them. It's incredible being face to face with a turtle. The boat provides you with fun noodles if you would like to float at the top and look and that helped out the people who didn't bring fins. They also have one guy out there diving with you and keeping an eye on things which makes you feel really safe while snorkeling. After about 45 mins-hour, we got back on the boat and ate some sandwiches. There's drinks for sale as well. We then went on an hour long sail pretty far out there. If you don't mind getting wet you can sit or lay across the nets in the front and it's really fun. If you have younger kids or aren't comfortable in the water then I think you'll need to bring your own lifejacket. I'm sure they probably had them someplace on the boat but they weren't given to you and you don't really need them. All in all the trip was extremely fun and well worth the price ( which is better than any others we could find). Would definitely recommend this and we might even do it again before leaving for home.

This is an excellent way to see the island. The pilot was friendly and informative. The crew to include the bus driver were great people and very helpful. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

these ladies are wonderful , the massage was after a surfing lesson which they guessed right away . very professional . def will come back

I felt that waiting until it started was a bit of a waste of time. However, once the show began, it was great. Among them, Michael Jackson looked so much like the real thing with his mannerisms and gestures, and both his singing and dancing were excellent. "Over the Rainbow" was incredibly beautiful and moving. Lady Gaga also did her best. Elvis even came down to the audience to shake hands and throw out leis, which was a nice touch.

始まるまでに待ったされたのがチョット時間が勿体にいと感じました。でも、ショーが始まると良かったです。中でもマイケル、ジャクソンが段々見ているうちに本物の様に見える位癖とかしぐさがそっくりで歌も踊りも良かったです。オーバー、ザ、レインボーはすごく綺麗にはもって感動しました。レディー、ガガも頑張ってました。プレスリーも会場に下りてきて握手したりレイをかけたりサービス的でした。

Had a blast! Booze cruise all the way! Travis was our crew guy and he was awesome. Captain Terry was cool calm and collective and chillen the entire trip. Take a wind breaker jacket cuz it gets kinda chilly. Two thumbs up

Great meal and entertainment during the dinner. Everything was so good, and those deserts, yum, yum! Then the show. Wow, you would have thought Elvis had stepped out of time to entertain us. The guy does a great job he has captured the mannerisms and voice of the King. Lady GaGa, made you go GaGa for her, so sexy and cute, and what a figure!
Michel Jackson, what can you say, Michel is Michel, from the gloved hand to the moon walk and shoes! Well worth the money for this show.

Beautiful cruise with great views. Fun crew and great atmosphere.

I was filled with excitement as I boarded the car for my first submarine experience.

I felt thrilled even while on the boat from Ala Moana Harbor to the offshore location. When we arrived at the point, the announcement mentioned that the previous submarine was surfacing. Bubbles formed, and in no time, the submarine appeared right in front of us. Finally, it was our turn to board. Due to the steep stairs, we slowly descended backwards into the submarine.

My first impression was that, despite being a premium experience, the windows inside the submarine were quite small. Following the crew's guidance, I took my seat. The dive began, and we descended to the seabed. Since I participated in the Japanese tour, I had no trouble with the language, and the explanations were easy to understand. However, depending on the direction we were seated, the season, and the ocean currents, visibility was not very clear, which was disappointing. Given my high expectations, I felt let down.

初めての潜水艦乗船に、わくわく気分で迎えの車に乗車。

アラモアナハーバーから沖合いまでの船の中でもわくわく。
ポイントに着くと船内放送にて前の潜水艦が浮上して来るとのこと。泡が立ちアッという間に潜水艦が目の前に浮上。
やっと順番が来て乗船開始。急な階段の為、後ろ向きにてゆっくり、ゆっくり下り船内に。
第一印象は、プレミアムの割には、船内の窓が狭い。船員さんの案内に従い着席。
潜水が開始され海底へ。
日本語ツアー参加なので言葉には困らず、案内も分かりやすかったが、座る方向、季節、海流にもよるのだろうか？あまり鮮明に見えず残念。
期待が大きかった分、がっかりしてしまった。

It was a great family trip with awesome views and great crew as well.

Highly recommend, nice for all ages. Great service from Veltra.

The views from the ocean were excellent and the people on the cruise as well as the staff were friendly and fun. The food was OK and the entertainment was good (I'm not a party person, so that is about the most that you will get out of me.) The most memorable thing was after dinner, when Dolphins were playing with the boat and putting on a show for us. The best view of the sunset was actually when we were docking at the harbor, at the very end of the cruise.

Really enjoyed this ride. We saved it for our last day in Hawaii. The water was beautiful. Plenty of room on the boat for maybe 30 people. I counted 23 but it didn't feel crowded at all. They serve drinks and play music.

Our sunset catamaran cruise was very nice. We were promptly greeted and seated on time, offered our choice of beverages and entertained by both passengers and crew. The cruise itself was calm and uneventful providing an ideal view of the coastline and the sunset. Travis (crew) bent over backwards to ensure all had a positive experience!

I participated on the first night of my arrival in Hawaii. The final fire show was incredibly powerful and captivating. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I planned to immerse myself in the experience right from the first day, and it was definitely the right choice! There was a bit of time between when the venue opened and when the meal started, so I was hit by some drowsiness, but the food was very delicious, especially the meat.

ハワイ到着1日目の夜に参加しました。最後の火を使ったショーは最高に迫力があり見応えありました。ハワイが始めてだったこともあり、初日からハワイを感じられるように計画しましたが大正解でした♪会場してから食事が始まるまでに少し時間があったこともあり眠気に襲われてしまいましたが、食事もお肉がとても美味しかったです。

make sure u book on friday for the fire work show...........................................

Good drinks!! Great hosts!! Would book again!!!!!!!

Michael Jackson was great, and Lady Gaga had a good atmosphere. Elvis's face was a bit off, but he was doing his best. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but they helped make the shrimp easy to eat, the timing of the dishes was good, and the taste was delicious. The middle-aged woman next to us seemed to always come here when she visits Hawaii and was friendly with the staff and Elvis. My friend who came with me to Hawaii said they wanted to see the show again. The table seats were right in front of the stage, and I can understand why people would want to return. However, hula dance shows can be seen almost anywhere in Hawaii, so it didn't feel very fresh, but it was suitable for first-timers. If possible, it would have been more interesting to have a slightly different, moody hula dance or something with a comedic touch. But really, everyone was very service-oriented, and we had a great time.

マイケルジャクソン上手でした、レディガガも雰囲気ありました。エルビスは、顔は無理がありましたが、がんばってました。はっきりいって、ディナーはあまり期待してませんでしたが
えびを食べやすく手伝ってくれたり、料理のタイミングもよく、味もおいしかったです。隣の中年女性はハワイに来たとき必ず来るようでスタッフや、エルビスとも親しくしてました。ハワイに一緒にきた、連れの友人はもう一度ショーを見たいと申してました。テーブル席もステージの目の前で、迫力も十分だしリピーターになる気持ちもわかります。ただしフラダンスショーはハワイではある意味どこでも見れますので、新鮮味は感じませんでしたが、初めての人向きの内容でした。できればせっかくですので、ちょっと毛色の違うムーディなフラダンスとか、コメディタッチなものなどでしたら、もっとおもしろかったとおもいます。でもほんとうに皆さんサービス精神旺盛で楽しく過ごさせいただきました。

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

It was a fantastic experience! We loved every minute of it! Snorkeling with turtles was amazing! Would definitely recommend! Great tour and fun activity

Great show we really enjoyed every minute of it. We would love to see it again the next time we vacation.

A pleasant late afternoon! Good crew and good company. Beautiful views!

All-in-all, I recommend this tour from Waikiki Dive Center. They have great instructors!

When I first walked into the dive shop it was fairly clean, but a little disorganized. The displays were a little difficult to reach and could be made better by putting out a single style and have customers ask for a size from the stock to sell in the back.
Everybody there was pretty nice, and very laid back. It was busy so I could understand that things were running late.
Once we got our gear, our driver Waylon took us to the boat at Kewalo Basin. He was friendly and nice to talk to but this is for scuba diving so don't expect a flamboyant tour bus operator.
The initial instruction was done by Gracie. She was really nice and did a great job at explaining things to keep everyone safe and having a good time. This was my first time and I had a little anxiety, but the breathing in scuba diving really is like yoga breathing. It was very calming, a different world in the ocean. I kind of felt like an astronaut. We had two dives, and everyone was very helpful in instructing us. Lacey worked with my group. She was nice and very much about safety for us newbies. We saw all kinds of sea critters. I took it easy and did the 'yoga' breathing and it turned out quite well.
If you want your scuba certification, Waikiki Dive Center is a great place to get it. This first intro dive counts towards it, so you're practically half way there already.
Nice people + Nice scuba diving = Awesome!

During my trip to Hawaii during Golden Week, I made a reservation in advance from Japan to participate. I boarded the boat directly from the beach at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Since I was the last to board, there were no seats available, and I ended up sitting at the back of the boat, but it was the best spot. I was lucky to be in a place where I could stretch my legs and take in the view. I highly recommend this for anyone going to Hawaii. You will get wet when boarding, so it's a good idea to wear beach sandals. It gets cold after sunset, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt is advisable.

ゴールデンウィークにハワイに旅行した時に、事前に日本より予約して参加しました。
シェラトンワイキキホテルのビーチから直接船に乗り、素晴らしい景色を楽しみました
最後に乗ったので、席がなく船の後方に座ったのですが、それが最高　足をのばして
景色を見渡せる場所でラッキーでした
ハワイに行かれる方はぜひおすすめします　
乗るときに濡れますので、ビーチサンダルで参加するとよいです。日暮れから寒くなりますので長袖を持っていくとよいです

I actually wanted to upgrade, but there were groups from other countries, so I gave up. The alcohol was all-you-can-drink, and I ended up drinking too much. The show was for adults, but I enjoyed the hula dance show and other performances.

本当はグレードアップしたかったのですが他国から団体さんがいて断念。
アルコールも飲み放題で、ついついのみすぎました。
ショーは大人向け？でしたがフラダンスショーなどは楽しめました

Highly recommend! I've been to Hawaii multiple times and this was my first time on this dinner cruise. The views of Waikiki from the boat are a must. The show was great and so was the food.

The opening was significantly delayed from the schedule. However, everyone was spending their time ordering drinks and enjoying themselves. With Michael's welcome, we had the customary commemorative photo, and then finally the park opened! The show exceeded expectations, and there were few Japanese guests, but everyone was really into it and it was overwhelming. The slightly chubby Elvis had an incredible spirit of service, going around to all the seats and shaking hands! The audience was thrilled! We had a wonderful time, and I highly recommend it.

予定よりかなり遅れての開演でした。
でも、飲み物を注文したりして皆さんそれなりに時間を使っていらっしゃいました。
マイケルのお出迎えで恒例の記念撮影、それからいよいよ開園！
ショーは期待以上に盛り上がり、お客も日本人は少なく皆さんノリノリで圧倒されるほど。
チョット太めのエルビスはサービス精神が凄く、全員の席を廻り握手！お客も大喜び！
楽しい時間を過ごしました、とってもお勧めです。

The crew was really cheerful and fun! I had a great time with the other passengers. The waves were high and we got soaked, but it was a memorable cruising experience.

クルーたちはほんとに陽気で楽しい！
周りの乗客とともに楽しいひと時を過ごしました。
波が高くてずぶぬれになりましたが、思い出に残るクルージングでした。

I was a wonderful trip. Staffs and all are very nice. I saw couple turtles under water and another during the time we were sailing around the Waikiki area. It was a great time ever.

I was taken to a place with sea turtles while snorkeling, and I was able to experience the sensation of swimming alongside them. The moment I surfaced to breathe was very cute.
During sailing, it started to rain, and it was cold...

シュノーケリングはウミガメのいる場所に連れて行ってもらい、一緒に泳ぐ感覚を味わえました。呼吸をするために顔を出す瞬間がとてもかわいかったです。
セーリング中は雨が降ってきて、寒かったです。。。

It's best to take Premium tour if you want to see. The tour guide was very funny. We enjoued ourselves. We like how colors break down as you descend into ocean floor.
