All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.

Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.

If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.

一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為？可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

Well there are no seats and you have to climb to get in and sit on floor, then they sail and you can move around. We thought there would be seats, but this only had benches. You have to be fit. We thought we could take my grandson, when we got there he couldn't possibly go. Also it's the Outrigger II, not the Outrigger. We showed up at Outrigger and were told it's a 10 minute walk. We are very unhappy. We bought 8 tix and 3 people didn't go and 2 who went got sea sick. There should be warnings as to what you are getting into.

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.

The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.

While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.

It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.

昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。

ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。

ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。

我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

I had so many questions about this tour that I called Veltra 7 times- and each time the gentleman was kind and courteous and told me to call back if I had any more questions. It was easy dealing with this company and very affordable.
Thank you for making this experience memorable. My whole family thanks you!

I participated with my mother and two daughters (11 and 16 years old). I was anxious because I didn't understand the language, but they taught us well with gestures. My mother could only stand for about three seconds, but my daughters were able to ride the waves well. I highly recommend it!

母と娘２人(11歳16歳)と参加しました。言葉も分からず不安でしたが身振り手振りでしっかりおしえてくれました。母は３秒くらいしか立てませんでしたが娘達はしっかり波に乗れてました。おすすめです！

I had a really good time on the Waikiki Rigger. Great staff, great drinks, fun folks onboard the boat, nice music! It was a little cloudy out at times and rained on us for a bit, but just looking at the city while in the water, the beautiful shots of Diamond Head Cater, other boats passing us make for a truly fun evening. I had a great time and something again that didn't tie up your whole evening. I hope do this again in a heartbeat!

The food was delicious. The kids enjoyed it a lot. My child participated in a tattoo experience and got a shark drawn. They did it really well, and my child was very happy. The fire show was also amazing! The kids were super excited. Be careful with drinks when the wind blows. I wish I could have enjoyed it more if I spoke English.

食事はおいしかたです。こどももパクパクでした。タトゥーの体験に子供が参加してサメを書いてもらいました。とっても上手に書いてくれ、子供も大喜びです。ファイヤーショーも最高！子供も大興奮でした。風が吹く時には飲み物注意だよ。英語が出来たらもっと楽しめたのにな。

My first massage ever...I was nervous, but it was awesome. My gf and I were together in the same room, and it was very nice. My one and only complaint was the noise outside spilled into our room and could be heard.

You might have to wait a bit from the meeting time until departure, but it feels like a good timing adjustment to see the sunset! There isn't anything particularly special about it, but enjoying the view of Waikiki from the catamaran and having a drink on board (of course, I'll have a refill) is fun.

集合時間から出発まではちょっと待たされるけど、いいタイミングでサンセットが見られる時間調整って感じ！特にこれと言った特徴があるわけではないけど、カタマランで海側から見るワイキキの街並みや船上での一杯（もちろんおかわりしますが）が楽しいです。

Great excursion. Great guides. Worth doing! The turtles were amazing and we had the bonus of seeing dolphins...

Great trip through the bay at Waikiki! The people make or break your experience, but everyone is there to have a great time, and you do, especially with the great musical accompaniment. Be sure to bring some extra cash for the picture at embarkment, and the special glass for your rum drink. Wonderful experience!!!

I participated in the VIP plan! It was so much fun from start to finish that I didn't want to leave!

There were impersonations of well-known artists and a Hawaiian show. My seat was right in the middle and up front!

It was incredibly impressive.

I want to go again next time!

VIPのプランで参加しました！
最初から最後までとても楽しく帰るのが名残惜しぃ位でした！

誰もが知ってるアーティストのモノマネやハワイアンショー。
席も真ん中で前！

迫力満点でした。

次もまた行きたい位です。

It was the most fun show in Hawaii. Michael, Elvis, and Madonna were all spot on. Michael was perfect in dance, face, appearance, and singing. Although Elvis didn't resemble him in the face, his singing and appearance were very similar, and I enjoyed it. The singer who performed "Satisfaction" was wonderful. After the show, there was a photo time, and I was thrilled to hug Madonna and take a picture! I got to know a couple from Washington sitting next to me, and we promised to meet again in Hawaii next year.

ハワイで１番楽しかったショーです。マイケル、エルビス、マドンナそっくりでした。マイケルはダンス、顔、容姿、歌全て完璧。エルビスは顔はにておりませんが歌、容姿はそっくりで楽しめました。サティスファクションを歌った歌手の方は素晴らしかったです。ショーの後フォトタイムがありマドンナとハグして写真撮影していただき感激！！隣の席にいらしたワシントンのご夫婦と知り合い、来年もハワイで会う約束をしました。

I participated because I wanted to view Honolulu from the sea. The participants were all cheerful foreigners, and the crew was also very friendly. Since it was July, there were many families with children. We were an older couple, so we took our place in the middle of the yacht, under the sail, wearing windbreakers, while many others seemed to be in their swimsuits.

At first, we went a little offshore with the outboard motor, then raised the sail and sailed smoothly across the vast ocean. Occasionally, large waves came, and the people in front were splashed with seawater and having a great time. After about 40 minutes offshore, we turned around and headed back to Honolulu.

By the way, it was barefoot inside the boat, and drinks were available for purchase. I wasn't sure if there was a restroom.

沖からホノルルを眺めたくて参加しました。
参加者は、陽気な外人ばかりでクルーともども乗りがよかったです。
７月だったので子供連れが目立ちました。
われわれはロートルカップルなので、ヨットの真ん中、帆の下に陣取り、ウインドブレーカーを着込みましたが、ほかの人々は水着のままの人が多かったようです。
初めは船外機で少し沖に出て、帆を張って快調に大海原を航海しました。
時々大きな波がきて、前方の人は頭から海水をかぶってはしゃいでました。
４０分ほど沖に出てから、Ｕターンをしてホノルルに向かいました。

ちなみに、船内は裸足、ドリンク類の販売はありました。
トイレはあるかどうか不明でした。

I like it, it is amazing
You should try it
You well like it also

We used it as a group of 40-60 people. There were many people from countries other than Japan, and everyone forgot their age and had fun dancing. The food was decent, but we enjoyed the tropical cocktails outdoors, which added to the Hawaiian vibe.

40－60　男女のグループで利用しました。
日本以外の国から来てる人が多くみんな年齢を忘れて踊ったりして楽しかったです。
食事はそれなりですが屋外で飲むトロピカルなカクテルもハワイらしさを楽しめました

I participated with a friend. Since it was my first experience, I was both excited and a little anxious! When the lesson started, I was taught by a foreigner who could speak Japanese, and they explained everything very clearly and in detail, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, understood it well (laughs). Also, since we were in the ocean, the instructor stayed with us. They watched the wave conditions and pushed the board when a good wave came. Thanks to that, I was able to ride without falling even once, and I had a very satisfying time!

友達と二人で参加をしました。初体験ということもあり楽しみと少し不安な気持ちもありました！
レッスンが始まると日本語が話せる外人から教えていただき、とてもわかりやすくかつ細かく教えて頂き英語が苦手なあたしでもよーくわかりました（笑）
そして、海に入ってたからも先生はついてきてくれました。
波の状態をみながら、いい波がくるとボードを押してくれました。おかけで一回も転倒することなくのれ大満足の時間がすごせました！

We had a blast!, great food, all you can eat crab legs. great service and great show! If you're still deciding what dinner cruise you should take, here's your answer! You can't go wrong! My suggestion take this event as your grand finale of your vacation, probably on the last day of your trip. Thanks so much hawaiian activities, they added Hanauma Bay trip as a extra bonus at no cost( but you need to pay for the entrance fee)which you can not missed! My family and I had a wonderful time.

It's surprisingly small yacht. There were moments when it swayed quite a bit due to the waves, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Basically, there don't seem to be many Japanese people on board. This time, it was just my husband and me. But since we came all the way overseas, it was a refreshing experience to escape the Japanese crowd in Waikiki. The sunset was amazing. And there's an all-you-can-drink option!

意外に小さいヨットです。波でけっこう揺れる場面もありましたが、これもみんなとっても受けてました。基本的に日本人はあまりいないようです。今回も私と夫だけでした。でもせっかく海外に来たのだから、日本人ばかりのワイキキを抜け出して新鮮体験でしたよ。サンセットは最高でした。そして飲み放題です！

I participated at the request of my mother in her 60s.
The quality of all the artists, from past stars to Lady Gaga, was high, and since most of the songs are famous, my mother, who doesn't understand English, seemed to enjoy it very much.
She especially liked Michael Jackson and even got to take a photo after the show.
I recommend it for those who might think they've had enough of the flash show.

60代の母親の希望で参加しました。
往年のスターからレディ・ガガまでどのアーティストもクオリティが高く、
有名な曲がほとんどなので、英語がわからない母もとても楽しめたようです。
特にマイケル・ジャクソンを気に入って、終演後には写真まで撮ってもらっていました。
フラショーはもういいかなという方にはお勧めです。

I used the scrub and detox massage! The shop was beautiful, and I was attended to by a Japanese person and another woman. It felt so good that time flew by in no time. I actually fell asleep, so I didn't notice, but on the way back, when I was fixing my hair, I realized they had also taken care of my neck, and it felt so smooth! The hotel was easy to find, but since the room number wasn't listed in the directions, I asked the hotel staff, and they pointed me in the right direction right away. My room was indeed at the end of the hallway.

スクラブ&デトックスマッサージ を利用させていただきました！綺麗な店内で、日本人の方ともう一人の女性にしていただきました～。すごく気持ちよくて、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。寝てしまったんで気付かなかったんですけど、帰りの路で髪をとめる時に、首もして貰っていて、すべすべでした♪♪ホテルは分かりやすかったんですけど、部屋番号が案内にないので、ホテルの人に聞いたら一発ですよ～。ちゃんと部屋は廊下の奥にありました。

would do this again in a hart beat! It is one in a life time experience the no words that can describe

I was super excited to catch some waves on my first surfing experience. After receiving a detailed explanation in Japanese, I headed into the ocean, and to my surprise, I was able to ride the waves and had a great time. Since it was Waikiki Beach, it was also convenient to walk there. I will definitely participate again next time.

初サーフィンで、波乗りが出来て超感激です。日本語の説明を詳しく受けた後、いざ海の中へ・・思いの他、波に乗れ楽しい時間でした。ワイキキビーチなので、徒歩での移動も便利でした。次回もまた参加します。

We attended the patio buffet before the performance. The food was one of the better dinner-show meals we had in Waikiki. There was a performance by dancers during the dinner, and then the main show followed. A good time was had by all.

Awesome cruise. Great dinner. Amazing fireworks. Definitely worth booking for July 4th

I experienced a surfing lesson. I chose a group lesson, but it felt almost like a private lesson because the instructor was with us the whole time. The lesson was in English, but they used simple language, so I think it would be fine even for those who don't understand English. There was a little mishap with the reservation time, but they responded quickly, which I really appreciated. I think it's a nice service that they take photos and provide them on a CD. By the way, purchasing the CD cost $30.

サーフィンレッスンを体験しました。グループレッスンを選択しましたがほぼプライベートレッスンのように、ずっとつきっきりで教えてくれました。英語でのレッスンでしたが、簡単な英語を使ってくれたので、英語が分からない方でも大丈夫だと思います。予約の時間を間違えてしまうというハプニングがありましたが、すぐに対応してくれてとても有難かったです。写真を撮ってくれ、CDにしてくれるのは良いサービスだと思います。ちなみにCD購入は30ドルかかりました。

The daytime yacht experience was so enjoyable that this time I participated in a sunset cruise. Although there were many clouds and the sunset was disappointing, it was a quiet cruise without the liveliness mentioned in other reviews. Well, that was fine in its own way, but I still had more fun during the daytime when I wore my swimsuit and got splashed by the waves.

日中のヨットがあまりに楽しかったので、今回はサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
雲が多くてサンセットは残念でしたが、他の方の口コミのようなにぎやかさはなく、静かなクルーズでした。まぁ、それはそれで良かったけど、やっぱり水着を着て、たくさん波を浴びた日中の方が楽しかったです。

This is a very fun time for a fair price. The catamaran is basic (i.e. no cabin or bathrooms) but it's a great sail with a crew that seems to love their jobs. The mai tais are good and plentiful, and it was great to see the sunset from the water. The sail goes out early enough that you get back in time to go to dinner, and you're in a wonderful mood when you return. I'd definitely recommend this cruise to people who want a fun time seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from a new perspective.

- There are courses such as Cocktail & Show, Buffet & Show, and VIP Dinner & Show, but it's not just about whether food is included or the type; everything from access (entrance/timing of entry) to the viewing seats for the show is determined by the course.
- I experienced the VIP course. Thanks to the reservation through VELTRA, we enjoyed dinner and the show at a two-person table right in the front row and center (we were able to enjoy the show after dinner while drinking wine).
- The venue for the show is a relatively small theater, but the lighting, sound, and effects are all professional, and the use of multi-screens for visual effects was very interesting.
- It is fundamentally different from Japanese impersonation shows and can be enjoyed as entertainment.
- As a side note, were they from the same company? Some of the dancers from the Star of Honolulu that I attended last year were performing!
- For dining, we started with the theater's original cocktail at a separate bar, then moved to the theater for the meal: appetizer, soup, main course of filet steak and white fish meunière, dessert ice, and coffee... it was a proper full course, and I was satisfied with the taste. The OP wine and others were relatively reasonably priced, starting from $30 for a full bottle.
- A manager, who seemed to be a charming gray-haired gentleman fluent in Japanese, supported us from entry to exit.
- I would recommend this to friends visiting Hawaii!
