All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I had so much fun that it didn't feel like just an hour. The Hawaiian sea, with its waves felt so close, was incredibly beautiful, and looking at Waikiki Beach from the water felt strangely wonderful. It was my first time on a catamaran, and it felt like a very stable boat, making for a comfortable ride. Honestly, I wished I could have stayed out on the water forever.

とても１時間とは思えないくらい楽しかったです。
波を近くに感じて進むハワイの海はとてもきれいで、ワイキキのビーチを海から眺めるのも何だか不思議な気持ちがしました。
カタマラン船というのも初めて乗りましたが、安定感があるボートっていう感じで、乗り心地もよかったですね。
本当はずっと海の上にいたいくらいでした。

We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします（^^）
家族で一緒にヨット（船？）に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!

It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.

ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです！
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい！

本当にサイコーでした！これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。

It was quite good. The kids were excited.

なかなか良かったです。子供が興奮していました。

Great value & most enjoyable! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time :)

what a fun time we had the food was very good.the show you cant miss this one,the service was excellent ,the sunset awsome.do not let this dinner cruise get away from you.....mahalo al n kathie becker

When I arrived at the meeting time, I was informed that the departure would be delayed by an hour, so we ended up waiting around the hotel area. In the promotional photos, there was a large catamaran with blue sails from Outrigger, but the actual boat we boarded was a smaller catamaran with pink sails, and it felt more like a family cruise with three staff members and about ten participants.

It was disappointing that there were no life vests available and that fins couldn't be rented, which limited our snorkeling experience. However, it was great to see many turtles up close.

After that, we cruised about an hour offshore. The wind felt nice, and the color of the sea became increasingly vibrant and beautiful. We went as far as the lighthouse past Diamond Head. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but the boat was quite rocky, and a few people got seasick. The staff was very kind and provided water and ice to those who were feeling unwell. Next time, I would like to join a tour that focuses solely on cruising.

当日集合時間に行くと、１時間遅れでの出発と案内され、ホテル周辺で時間をつぶしての出発となりました。イメージ写真では、アウトリガーの青い帆の大きい目のカタマランでしたが、実際に乗ったのは、ピンクの帆の小さめのカタマランで、スタップ３名と参加者は１０名程度で家族クルーズのような小さいツアーとなりました。
ライフベストがなかったこと、足ひれがレンタルできないので思いっきりシュノーケルできないのは残念でした。ただ、たくさんのカメが近くで見れたのは良かったです。
その後は、１時間ほど沖までクルージングでした。風が気持よく、海の色がどんどん濃くなりとてもきれいでした。ダイアモンドヘッド先の灯台あたりまで行きました。私たちは酔い止めを飲んでいて大丈夫でしたが、揺れがすごくて数人の方が船酔いでダウンされていました。スタッフの対応はとても親切で体調の悪い方には、水や氷を渡したりされていました。次回は、クルージングのみのツアーに参加してみたいです。

I found this site before my trip, and it looked interesting, so I made a reservation and participated.

I had heard beforehand that there wouldn't be any Japanese participants, but I thought it would be fine and went without hesitation, only to find that we were indeed the only Japanese people there.

However, since everyone was just travelers from different places, we all got along well and enjoyed ourselves without much concern.

Personally, I can hardly speak English, but the staff member was friendly and nice, so I thoroughly enjoyed both the cruising and snorkeling!

The snorkeling spot was off the coast of Waikiki, about 10 meters deep, and there were plenty of fish and sea turtles.

I brought a waterproof digital camera, but I struggled to take good pictures of the sea turtles swimming nearby. Fortunately, a crew member who looked like a dolphin took some really beautiful photos for me.

There were no fins available for rent, just masks and snorkels, and swimming was limited to around the yacht, so it might not be enough for those who are into diving, but beginners can definitely have a great time (which was the case for my wife and me). Everyone participating was in the same boat.

After that, we enjoyed cruising while sailing back to Waikiki, heading towards Diamond Head.

This trip created unforgettable and enjoyable memories.

Since we finished around 10 AM, it was easy to plan our next activities.

I believe breakfast snacks were supposed to be included in the package, but we didn't quite understand the system and missed out. After we got back, we changed at the hotel and had breakfast (or maybe it was brunch?) at Island Vintage Cafe in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, enjoying acai bowls before heading out to Kailua.

You might want to double-check about breakfast???

Also, there are several Outrigger Hotels in Waikiki, so make sure not to confuse the meeting location... (we made that mistake).

Anyway, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it!

旅行前にこのサイトで知って、面白そうなので予約して参加しました。


事前情報で、日本人の参加者がいないって聞いていたものの、なんとかなるかな~と思って、ためらわず行ってみたら、本当に日本人は僕たちだけでした。

しかし、まあ所詮みんないろんなとこからやってきた旅行者同士の似たもの同士なので、あんま気兼ねなく思い思いに楽しんでいます。


個人的に英語はほとんど喋れないけれど、スタッフの兄ちゃんが気さくでいい人だったので、クルージングとシュノーケリングともに満喫させていただきました！！


シュノーケリングのポイントはワイキキの沖、水深１０ｍくらいで、魚や海亀がいっぱいいました。

防水デジカメ持参で行ったのですが、近くで泳ぐ海亀をなかなかうまく写真に収められず苦戦してたら、クリューのイルカみたいな兄ちゃんがすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました。

フィンのレンタルはなく、マスク、シュノーケルのみのレンタルでヨットの周りのみの遊泳なので、ダイビングやっている人には物足りないかもしれませんが、初心者でも十分楽しめます。（まさに今回の自分と妻がそうでした。まあ、参加している人みんな一緒です。）


その後はダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで帆走でクルージングを楽しみつつワイキキに戻りました。



今回の旅行の忘れられない楽しい思い出です。



午前１０時上がりなので、その後の予定も組みやすいです。


パックに軽食の朝ごはんが付いているはずだったのですが、僕らはシステムがよくわからず食いそびれたので、上がった後、ホテルで着替えて、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのアイランドビンテージカフェでアサイボウルで朝食（？）を済ませて、カイルアに遊びに行きました。

朝食のとこは要確認かも？？？


あと、アウトリガーホテルはワイキキに何箇所かあるので、集合場所は間違えなきよう。。。。（うちは間違えた）




ともあれ、最高のひと時でした、かなりお勧めですよ！！

It was convenient to participate in the cruise from Waikiki.
No Japanese was understood at all.
The snorkeling time is about one hour.
There were no life jackets available for rent.
You can borrow something like a long tube.
On the way there, we saw a turtle, and on the way back, we saw dolphins.
I think it's good for those who understand English and are good at swimming.

　ワイキキからクルーズできるのが便利で参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じません。
　シュノーケルの時間は1時間位です。
ライフジャケットの貸し出しはありませんでした。
細長い筒のようなものは借りられます。
　行きにはカメ、帰りにはイルカが見えました。
英語がわかって、泳ぎが得意の方には良いと思います。

We both ( me and my wife) liked the ambience of the establishment (in a quiet room of a busy hotel 1/2 block away from the beach). The staff were extremely polite and friendly and were very professional in their massage. Their selection of soothing melodies were especially appealing to us and the aromatherapy was a welcome addition.

Overall, i would recommend it to anyone looking for a way to quickly get the kinks out of their muscles and recover from a long journey to Hawaii. It prepared us for the hikes and the swims and the kayak rides we undertook during out trip.

Very satisfied.

We have been on several dinner cruises in the Chicago area. This cruise was by far the best. It was a perfect way to finish up our vacation. The meal was very good. The crew was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was alot of fun - I wish that part of the experience lasted longer. We were just getting into the groove when the boat pulled into the dock.
Well worth the money.

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif

OUTSTANDING.

Def must do for the price offered. I went by myself and couldn't have had a more peaceful time to enjoy the view. The staff was great, 'Rabbit' is single btw and they offer great service. They offered to take pictures of me, played some music, offfered drinks as well. I couldnt have had a more delightful time.

Our sunset cruise started off on the wrong foot (literally) when we were forced to take our shoes off and wade into the surf to get onto the sail boat. We were unprepared because that's not described in the activity description. However, once we got past that we had a nice time. It's the only way to get a great look at the Waikiki skyline. It was a nice comfortable, slow and relaxing cruise. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. There's a lot of alcohol consumption, so I wouldn't recommend bringing children.

I participated with my husband and mother-in-law. Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, I wasn't expecting much, but it was better than I imagined. First of all, taking a boat to Waikiki is great. The view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing. We were also able to see turtles underwater. One issue, though, is that after coming up from the submarine, the boat sways quite a bit, and it can make you feel seasick. It might be a good idea to take some motion sickness medication.

主人と義母の3人で参加。
ワイキキ沖ですから、たいして期待していなかったのですが、想像以上によかったですよ。
まずワイキキ沖にボートで行くのがよい。海から見るワイキキは最高です。そして海中では亀を見ることができました。ただ一点問題は、潜水艦からあがったあと、沖合の船上がゆれて結構酔います。酔い止め飲んだ方がいいかもしれません。

I participated with my grandparents and my parents, making a group of five. Since the venue was the same as our hotel, the Hilton, it was very easy to join.

The explanations from the show’s host were all in English, so I was a bit confused about the buffet details and how to order drinks, but it wasn't a major issue, and I was able to enjoy myself. The show itself was enjoyable even without understanding English, and I think you can really feel the atmosphere of enjoying a show and dinner in Hawaii. The food was delicious, and although there was a line at the buffet at first, it became less crowded after everyone got their food, making it easy to go back for seconds.

I also thought it would have been better to have a bit more detailed information about the meeting place and ticket exchange upon arrival. Even when I managed to get to the designated meeting spot, there was no specific guidance for Alan1, and everyone started walking to the venue, so I just followed along and ended up lining up at the ticket exchange window... I felt a bit anxious until it all started. In the end, I was able to participate properly, so that was good.

祖父母と親子の５人で参加しました。
ちょうど会場が宿泊ホテルのヒルトンと同じだったので、とても気軽に参加できました。

ショーの司会の説明などはすべて英語だったので、ビッフェ形式の説明やドリンクの注文の仕方など少し戸惑いましたが、どうしようもないくらい困ることも無く、楽しむことができました。
ショー自体は英語が分からなくても十二分に楽しめる内容で、ハワイでショー＆ディナーを楽しむという雰囲気は感じられると思います。食事も美味しかったですし、ビッフェは最初は行列が出来ましたが、一通り取り終わるとガラガラでお代わりも行きやすかったです。

あと、現地での集合場所や参加時のチケット引換などについて、もう少し詳しく説明があれば良かったと思いました。
指定された集合場所に何とか着いても特にAlan1としての案内は無く、みんながゾロゾロ会場に歩き出すのでなんとなく付いて行って、なんとなくチケット交換窓口に並んで・・・といった感じで始まるまで少し不安でした。結果としてはちゃんと参加できたのでよかったですが・・・。

A 90 min sailing with a small catamaran sometimes tipped by the waves, a fun crew (you tip them) and a great view of Honolulu and Diamond Head. Well worth the money, plus your Keiki go for free and the crew is experienced to handle them.

Be there in time as it slightly changes docking site on the beach according to the tide. Also, be prepared to get wet. If you arrive too early, start your adventure with a great MaiTai in the Outrigger bar for just $3.50 (till 5 pm).

Let me start out by saying thankyou for a wonderful time. your staff took good care of us,and were courteous till the end.very knowledgeable,and interesting too! Hats off to everyone at hawaii activities.thankyou again,
sincerely, jack cracchiolo

Overall good fun but only complaint is not enough stuff to see great staff

There are few participants from Japan, and Japanese is not widely understood, but it's incredibly fun. The crew is all nice guys, and sailing feels great. I want to use this again on my next trip.

日本の参加者は少ないし、日本語はあまり通じないですけど最高に楽しいです。
クルーはナイスガイばかりだし、セーリングはとても気持ちがいいです。
また次回の旅行でも利用したいです。

We loved the food...So delicious....the sunset was so nice and romantic....crabs were all you can eat....

I can't dive, but I wanted to see the underwater world, so I participated. (10 AM session: Japanese guide available)

During the transfer to the submarine on the shuttle boat, there was an announcement saying, "It will be rocky today," but it was fine. (My mother, who was with me, got a little seasick.) If you're worried about seasickness, it might be a good idea to take medication in advance. (Medication is also available for purchase on the shuttle boat.)

The inside of the submarine was more spacious than I expected, and it was comfortable without feeling cramped. (The floor might be a bit cold?) Unfortunately, we didn't see any sea turtles, but we were able to see many fish living among the reefs, the wreckage of an airplane, and a sunken ship. Even my mother, who got seasick, was moved by watching the fish swim around.

I'm glad I participated in this tour! I will definitely sign up again when I travel to Hawaii!

ダイビングは出来ないけど、海の中が見たくて参加しました。（１０時の回：日本語でのガイド有り）

シャトルボートで潜水艦まで移動の際「今日は揺れます」とアナウンスがありましたが、大丈夫でした。（同行の母は軽く酔ってしまいましたが）
船酔いに心配な方は、前もって薬を服用した方が良いかもしれません。（薬はシャトルボート内でも販売しています）

潜水艦内は思っていたより狭くなく、圧迫感もなく快適でした。（足元が少し寒いかも？）
残念ながら海ガメは見れませんでしたが、漁礁、飛行機の残骸、難破船を棲み家にしている沢山の魚たちを見る事ができました。船酔いしてしまった母も魚が海中を動き回る様子を見て感動していました。

このツアーに参加して良かったです！
またハワイ旅行する際には必ず申し込みます！

These guys are pro! Had an awesome dive, saw tons of fish, the weather was perfect, I couldn't ask for more. Thanks so Aaron and crew for making our experience truly amazing.

I would like to thank our hawaii activities director ... We thought we had made reservations for Tuesday, June 8, but it turned out that I had made the reservation for Monday, June 7. They came to pick us up at our hotel on Monday, and we weren't ready. I couldn't believe that I had made such a mistake ... I thought I had been really careful to make sure that something like that hadn't happened ... but, I DID make the mistake. The Oahu Cruise people were very understanding, and told me that they would just pick us up on Tuesday. I then called our hawaii activities director and told her about the mistake I had made. She said that there was not a problem, no extra fee, and that she would reschedule me for Tuesday, and fax me a new voucher to our hotel. Talk about service! She was GREAT! The voucher was at our hotel in minutes!

Also, I need to say that this cruise is EXCELLENT! The food was EXCELLENT, and the entertainment was WONDERFUL!

Thanks for everything! We had a GREAT

I participated with my parents in their 70s and my family, a total of six people. I was worried about my father, as he has weak legs, when boarding the submarine, but my husband supported him, and he was able to get on. We were also able to see a large sea turtle, and my 4-year-old son was very happy. The staff were very kind, and it became a wonderful memory.

70代の両親と家族、全部で6人で参加しました。父が足が弱いので、潜水艦に乗り込む時が心配でしたが、主人がサポートして、乗り込むことが出来ました。大きな海亀も見ることが出来、4才の息子も大喜びでした。スタッフの方もとても親切にしてくださり、楽しい思い出になりました。

I participated with my middle school daughter and our family of three. I was quite worried about our physical stamina, but once we decided to join, the instructions were very kind and easy to understand, which quickly dispelled my anxiety. It was definitely a plus that everything was conducted in Japanese. Our whole family was able to stand on the board, and we even had a video taken. It became a wonderful memory for our family.

中学生の娘と家族３人で参加しました。
体力的にも、だいぶ心配がありましたが、
思い切って参加してみると、とても親切にわかりやすく
説明していただけて、不安もすぐに吹き飛びました。
やはり、日本語で出来たのが良かったです。
家族全員ボードに立つことができ、ビデオも撮影してもらえました。家族の良い思い出になりました。

I was worried because I don't speak much English, but when I participated, the staff kindly served drinks, the view was amazing, and I had a wonderful experience. My family was the only Japanese there.

英語があまり出来ないので心配でしたが、
参加してみると、スタッフの方が親切に飲み物を出して下さり、景色も最高で、とても素敵な経験をすることが出来ました。日本人は、私たちの家族だけでした。

This was a great way to end our holiday. Very tastefully done and orchestrated. Service, food, entertainment, all excellent. No complaints at all. Recommend highly to anyone.

In the morning, I participated in a session with Japanese support. It seems that the waves were rough that day, and many people experienced seasickness on the boat ride to the submarine. However, once we submerged, the swaying eased, and I was able to observe the precious ecosystem off the coast of Waikiki, which was satisfying.

午前、日本語対応の回に参加しました。当日は波が荒かったようで、行きの船から潜水艦へ乗り込むまでに船酔いに遇われた方が多かったようです。それでも海中に潜れば揺れは和らぎ、ワイキキ沖の貴重な生態系を観察することができ、満足です。
