All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

Ms. Yuka was an excellent masseuse. I usually get massages 1~2/month in Seattle, but she exceeded my expectations!!!

The food and entertainment was great.

My lomilomi massage was just what I needed - all my sore spots got attention and I came away feeling soothed & energized. Lovely atmosphere and friendly, talented therapist!

I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...

I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆

ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。

もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

This was a very enjoyable cruise of Oahu's sunset. We enjoyed the food and entertainment. My husband and I saw flying fish which to us was icing on the cake. The sunset was amazing to watch and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The waiter showed us tricks on disassembling our lobster, which was nice, I didn't want to make a mess. I think the Navatek is the best because of the smoothness and to be able to go into open waters and still remain smooth. This is a wonderful cruise and a great way to end an evening.

This was a blast! Also, the crew knows exactly where to go to find tu
rtles - we saw at LEAST a dozen! Then, after everyone was finished snorkeling we went for a sail and had cocktails (the Onolicious is awesome). The crew was wonderful - Thanks Captain John & Rabbit!!!

It is a lot of fun and a perfect way to end the day. The crew really makes this trip worth while - Captain John and Rabbit were AWESOME!!!

The charm of this tour departing from Outrigger Reef on the Beach is that it starts from Waikiki Beach. The morning meeting time is early, but I think it's still manageable.

On the day of the tour, it was windy and the waves were high, but we were able to see various fish and even sea turtles while snorkeling. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any dolphins. Still, it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour.

Also, when we participated, there were zero Japanese people. It's a rare tour where you can truly feel like you're on an overseas trip. The explanations were in English and included some humor, which I couldn't fully understand, but the captain was kind enough to explain slowly using just a few words for us.

Since the tour ends in the morning, you can participate in other tours, go shopping, or relax on the beach in the afternoon, making it a meaningful way to spend the day.

It was a recommended tour for going with friends and having a great time together.

アウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチより出るこのツアーの魅力はワイキキビーチから出発ということです。
朝の集合時間は早いですが、それでも楽だと思います。

当日は風が強くて波も高かったですが、シュノーケリングでは色んな魚、ウミガメにも会えました。
残念なのは、イルカに遭遇できなかったこと。
それでものんびり楽しめるツアーです。

また、私たちが参加した時は日本人ゼロ。
「海外旅行に来た」と味わえる珍しいツアーです。
説明なども英語で笑いを取っていたようですが、理解できなかったりもしましたが、キャプテンは私たちには単語のみでゆっくり説明してくれる親切な方でした。

午前中に終わるツアーなので、午後からは他のツアーに参加したり、ショッピングに行ったり、ビーチでのんびりしたりもできるので、1日を有意義に使えると思います。

友達みんなでワイワイ行くのにオススメのツアーでした。

Well worth the price. Most relaxing massage we have ever had, will definately come back next year. The hot stones were amazing.

Surfing was awesome!!! It was really great. However, I was sore all over for a week afterward...

サーフィンさいこーーーーー！！！
とてもよかったです。
けど、終わった後一週間は全身筋肉痛。。。

It was a more enjoyable cruise than I imagined.
They offered special cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, and free drinks. (There were some foreigners who brought snacks, and it might be even more fun if there were some light snacks available.)
In April, the sunset is at 7 PM! I thought that meant we wouldn't be able to see the sunset at the scheduled time, but they adjusted the return time properly, allowing us to enjoy nearly two hours of cruising with a departure at 5:30 PM and return at 7:30 PM!
It sways more than expected, so if you are prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication.
There were only five of us Japanese on board, and all the safety instructions (like areas to avoid) were given in English, which I couldn't catch, so I thought it would be nice if they provided a paper in Japanese at the beginning.
There was a lot of lively music playing, and before I knew it, even my father started dancing!

For this price, the fun with free drinks is quite a good value! I highly recommend it!

想像以上に楽しいクルーズでした。
特製カクテル、ビール、ワイン、シャンパンと
フリードリンク。（おつまみ持参の外国人がいて、
何かちょっとしたスナック菓子とかあるとより楽しいかも）
４月の日の入りは、１９時！これだと、スケジュールにあった時間ではなく、サンセットがうまく見れないのかと
思いきや、ちゃんと戻りの時間を調整してくれていて、
１７：３０出港、１９：３０戻りといった具合に
２時間近くクルージングを楽しめました！
思いのほか揺れるので、船酔いする方は、何か薬を飲んだ
方がいいかもしれません。
私達家族５人しか日本人がおらず、船上での注意事項
（踏み入れちゃいけない場所等の説明があったらしい）も
全て英語で、聞き取れなかったので、最初に日本語で
紙でも渡してくださるといいのでは。。。と思いました。
ノリがいい音楽がたくさんかかり、
気がつけば、父まで踊りだす始末！

この価格で、フリードリンクであの楽しさは、かなりコスパいいですよ！オススメです！

The artificial reefs are arranged to attract fish properly, and I was able to see various fish and sea turtles without getting bored.

ちゃんと魚が集まるように、漁礁が配置されており、飽きることなくいろんな魚や海ガメが見れました。

My six year old daughter surfed! We all did! We all got up and we have the videotape to prove it! This was our first activity on our first day and it set a trend of quality that stayed throughout our trip. These surfers are great teachers, assistants, advisors, helpers, and just plain nice.

I can't recommend anywhere more than this school.

The kids loved it. The ride out was fun, we saw several sea turtles swimming alongside the boat. The staff were friendly and helpful. My wife was slightly disappointed that the shipwrecks were all planted by Atlantis, but there were many more varieties of sealife than I expected. Overall, we all enjoyed it. This was our most expensive activity, but I am glad that we included it. We were on the larger, newer sub and the viewing ports were better than anticipated. My kids, ages 6 to 16, all enjoyed it.

I participated on the last day of my stay. I took part in various activities, but this one felt the most Hawaiian. The waves weren't too high, and the surface of the water felt very close, which was pleasant! The staff were also very kind and accommodating.

滞在中の最終日に参加しました。他のアクティビティにもいろいろ参加しましたが、一番ハワイらしかったような気がします。波もそれほど高くなくて、海面がすぐ近くに感じられて気持ちよかったです！スタッフの方にも親切に対応していただきました。

We gathered at 2:30 PM and departed at 3 PM! We were told to be punctual, but when I rushed in at 2:30, I got a Hawaiian response: "Oh, just sitting on the beach." It made me feel the pressure of time that Japanese people often experience.

We left a little after 3 PM and enjoyed about an hour of fun. At first, we started the engine to set sail, but once we were out at sea, we raised the sails and let the wind take us. The views of Hawaii were a different experience compared to the scenery seen from larger boats during whale watching. On the yacht, various cocktails and beers were available, and enjoying a drink while feeling the sun and wind was incredibly refreshing! We ventured further out than I expected and enjoyed a panoramic view of Honolulu. I definitely plan to participate again on my next visit to Hawaii.

Considering that the day after we boarded, the tsunami from the Chile earthquake prevented access to the sea, we were very lucky.

２時半集合、３時出発！　時間厳守！　との事でしたが、２時半に走って行ってら「あ。ビーチで座っていて~」　っとハワイアンな答えが！　ついつい時間に追われてしまっている日本人を感じてしまいました。
３時過ぎに出発し、約１時間程　楽しませてもらいました。
最初はエンジンをかけて出航していましたが、沖に出ると後は帆を張り風まかせ。　ホエールウォッチングなどの大きな船から見る景色とは、また一味違う　ハワイの景色を楽しませてもらいました。　ヨット内では、数種類のカクテル、ビールが販売されていて、太陽＆風　を感じながらのアルコールは格段に美味しい♪　思ってたよりも沖に出てホノルルの景色を一望して楽しませてもらいました。　次回のハワイ訪問時にも　是非　参加させてもらう予定です。
私たちが乗船した翌日は、チリ地震の津波で海に近寄れなかったのを考えると、とっても運が良かったのかも。

I did this the same day I arrived. The location is great if you're staying in Waikiki.

The massage was super relaxing. The value for the price is phenomenal. It was not at a big fancy spa but the massage was professionally done. Having limited experience with massages I was a bit surprised to find my back extremely sore for the next 2 days which isn't quite how I wanted to feel on vacation in Hawaii, but not being a massage expert I assume this would probably be true for any massage I would have gotten anywhere.

I also looked quite disheveled walking back to my hotel after the massage so I would suggest planning time after your massage to clean-up (fix hair/make-up and come out of the massage coma) before going somewhere else.

Diving to the real seabed in a submarine... There are no particularly dangerous aspects or training required, so it's safe for families with small children to participate. On the ferry to the dive point, we even encountered dolphins, which was a nice surprise. The view on the water is great too! 😊

本当の海底に潜水艦で潜る・・・
特に危険なことも、トレーニングもありませんので、小さな子供連れでも安心して参加できます。ダイブポイントまでの連絡船では偶然とはいえイルカ達にも遭遇しました。洋上の景色もグーですね＾＾

I wish the whales had been more active. Whales aside. The food was great. The boat was unique. The water was incredible. An all round good afternoon.

All the instructors made us feel comfortable and made sure we had fun and guaranteed we would all stand up. I signed up for the 2 hour class. The waves were knee to waist high and be prepared to do a lot of paddling. Everyone in my group stood up on the board. We all started posing for the camera while surfing. Very fun for all age groups. A school of dolphins showed up and jumping along with us. PERFECT DAY!!!!

The staff was magnificient. The cruise along the sunset waters of Oahu was romantic and picture perfect. Great entertainment and food. We had the 3 star VIP with Dom Perignon. Wonderful night. Perfect for couples. And if you are thinking of Proposing, this itinery is perfect. Alo'ha!!!!

The submarine was comfortable, but the children got seasick during the boat ride before boarding the submarine. The same happened on the way back. It might be better to take motion sickness medication in advance.

I participated in the Japanese language tour. The guide's Japanese was perfect, and the staff's response was good, making for a pleasant experience. However, compared to when I rode in Guam ten years ago, the clarity of the water and the number of fish were lacking. Those who have experienced it in Guam might feel a bit disappointed if they go with the same expectations. I think first-timers will enjoy it enough.

潜水艦は快適でしたが、潜水艦に乗る前の船での移動で子供たちが酔ってしまいました。帰りも同様。
事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいたほうが良いかもしれません。

日本語時間に乗りました。ガイドさんの日本語は完璧、スタッフの対応も良く、気持ちよく参加できました。
ただ、10年前にグアムで乗った時と比べると海の透明度も魚の数も負けてます。グアムで乗ったことある人は同じ感覚で行くとちょっとがっかりします。初めての人は十分楽しめると思います。

My wife and I went on the Atlantis sub on Ohau. Transportation was on time. Your riding a boat out to the Sub. The sub doesn't come to the docks. We saw 3 sea turtles, 1 shark, 1 eel and countless diffierent types of fish. There is a depth guage up from by the captain. I'm not sure how deep it got but the deepest I saw was 84 feet. Temp was comfortable. It didn't rock like a boat. Very stable. The pressure didn't compress it. The ears never poped like an airplane. Very nice ride. I recemend it. Turn your flash off on the camera. Glass is so thick that even angle PICs gives flash back. Just turn off the flash.

We boarded a yacht from the calm Waikiki Beach.

Onboard with us were a couple who had been swimming near the yacht before departure, and a relaxed foreign couple enjoying their retirement.

The yacht is equipped with seats, but we chose to sit on the net that can hold people, peering into the sea as we slowly set off!

I thought we would be gently swaying while looking into the water and gazing at Waikiki Beach, but to my surprise!

We sped off towards the vast ocean, feeling the wind and splashes of water all over, which instantly boosted our excitement!

I couldn't help but hope, "Maybe we'll see dolphins or whales!" as we ventured further out.

Unfortunately, we didn't see any dolphins or whales, but when we returned near Waikiki Beach, we encountered a sea turtle!

Isn't the sea turtle a symbol of happiness?? Watching it poke its head out and swim around was incredibly soothing!

For those who, like me, have never been on a yacht, I think just being on it is plenty of fun. You should definitely give it a try!

穏やかなワイキキビーチからヨットに乗り込みます。

一緒に乗船したのは、出発前までヨットの近くで
泳いでいたカップルや、リタイヤして悠々自適な
カンジの外国人夫婦などなど。

ヨットにはイスも備え付けられているのだけど、
人が乗っても大丈夫なネットの上に座って、
海の中を覗きながら、ゆっくりと出発進行！

「穏やかに揺られながら、海の中を覗き込んだり、
ワイキキビーチを眺めたりするんだろうな~」と
思いきや！

すっごい勢いで大海原に向かって走っていくので、
風や水飛沫を全身に感じることができて一気に
テンションアップ↑↑

「イルカとかクジラとか見れないかね~」と
期待しちゃうくらい沖にでます。

残念ながらイルカもクジラも見れなかったですが、
ワイキキビーチ近くまで帰ってきたときに、
ウミガメに遭遇しました！

ウミガメは幸せの象徴でしたっけ？？
頭をチョコンと出して、プカプカ泳いでるのを
間近で眺めて、すごーく癒されました！

私のように、ヨットに乗った経験がない方は、
乗るだけでも十分楽しいと思います。
一度体験されてみては？

Um... yeah. this was an AMAZING way to start our Oahu vacation. We went as a couple doing the regular package. The food was good- no real complaints there. and you get one drink (that was pretty weak). and there is entertainment. all as one would expect...

but the best part of it was the SUNSET!! Even though it was a little chilly, it was incredibly romantic and we got some nice photos

And we SAW HUMPBACK WHALES!!! about 12-15 of them to be exact. Lots of tail flukes and 4 spy-hopping. We were probably the only couple that saw that many because we ate dinner and then decided to for-go the cheesy entertainment with all the ...tourists, and go up on the deck to make sure we didn't miss the sunset. When we went back in, we were surprised how many people didn't go on the deck, and didn't see ANY whales!!

TIPS: Arrive early to get a dinner table by the window. Don't waste your time with the cheesy entertainment, the sunset is what makes this trip worth it (and whales!!). Also, get

This time, I wanted to feel the blue sea of Hawaii even closer and fully enjoy it, so my partner and I participated in the Outrigger Catamaran plan. At first, we both had some anxiety, but once we were out at sea, that anxiety disappeared in an instant. In a word, we were very satisfied. The departure from Waikiki Beach was wonderful, with both the sea and the scenery being spectacular. We were blessed with good weather, enjoying the warm sunshine and pleasant breeze together, and the time flew by.

What left the biggest impression on me was being able to connect with Hawaii's nature. Looking at the blue sea, we could observe schools of fish and turtles up close, and since we could bring cameras and videos, we could perfectly capture those memories. Also, the view of Honolulu from the sea felt different and special.

The staff were very accommodating and kind to us as Japanese visitors, for which we are grateful.

I recommend this plan to anyone who wants to feel the blue sea of Hawaii more closely and connect with nature. We would also like to participate in the Outrigger Catamaran plan again.

今回、ハワイの青い海をもっともっと身近に感じたい。そして満喫したいという思いから私と彼女の二人でアウトリガー・ カタマラン号のプランに参加しました。初めはお互い不安もありましたがその不安も海に出れば一瞬にして消え去りました。一言でいうと大満足でした。ワイキキビ−チから出発して海、景色ともに素晴らしかったからです。天候にも恵まれ暖かい日差しと気持ちのいい風を二人で浴びながらあっという間の時間でした。

一番印象に残っているのはハワイの自然に触れられたことです。青い海に目をやると魚の群れや亀を身近で観察できカメラやビデオも持ち込めるのでバッチリ思い出として記録できます。また、海から見るホノルルの風景も一味違うものだと思いました。

スタッフの方の対応も良く日本人の私達にもとても親切に対応していただき感謝しています。

ハワイの青い海をもっと身近に感じたい。また自然に触れたい方にはお勧めのプランです。私たちもまた参アウトリガ−・ カタマラン号プランに参加したいと思います。

My husband and I, had such an enchanting evening! Aha Aina is different from your typical "hula hula" type of luau. This event is authentic and very respectful. You have a wonderful storyteller "Uncle Joe", telling his stories about the hotel and his life growing up in Hawaii and how times have changed. You have tasty, mouthwatering appetizers that melt in your mouth! Delicious fruit drinks made upon your request with servers eager to assist you. This was such a wonderful change from those typical luaus that you would attend around the islands..such grand entertainment, succulent food and exceptional service! I would highly recommend this dinner show for people who want to experience what Hawaii actually has to offer!

The meeting point, which is said to be hard to find, was at the Sheraton, so it was easy to spot the bright blue beach umbrellas (the meeting point) after walking along the beach for just 2 or 3 minutes. The staff there (two people) were also fluent in Japanese and very enjoyable to be around, which was a great help. Although Japanese is not spoken on the boat, I still had a wonderful time. Fortunately, I was able to see both turtles and whales. There were only two Japanese participants, but it really felt like being abroad. I think this tour is suitable for everyone from children to the elderly, and it offers a close-up experience of the sea. Since participation is barefoot, it's best to wear appropriate footwear.

わかりにくいと言われている集合場所も宿泊がシャラトンだったので浜辺を歩いて２・３分で真っ青なビーチパラソル（集合場所）もすぐわかりました。そこのスタッフ（二人）も日本語が上手で、それにとても楽しい方で助かりました。船上では日本語は通じませんが、でも十分楽しめました。ラッキーなことに、カメもクジラも見ることができました。日本人の参加は二人だけでしたが、海外だという実感がわきました。このツアーは子供さんからお年寄りまで参加でき、身近に海を体感できるツアーだと思います。はだしでの参加ですので履き物はそれなりがいいですよ。

I participated in the 3 PM departure on the day I arrived in Hawaii. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid jet lag. The staff seemed to be quite skilled at providing explanations in Japanese during check-in, making it easy to understand. Their bright and cheerful demeanor really made me feel like I was in Hawaii!

When boarding the boat, everyone must leave their footwear in a designated box. Also, be careful as you might get splashed up to your knees if the waves hit while boarding. The day we participated had excellent weather, but it was quite windy on the boat and felt rather cool. As many have mentioned, I recommend bringing a jacket.

I was a bit anxious since I was with my parents, who are nearly 70, but we were able to see a pod of dolphins and a sea turtle, which made them both very happy. My mother, who usually gets seasick, seemed fine with the rocking of this yacht. The drinks sold on board are reasonably priced as well.

This was my sixth time in Hawaii, and I found myself regretting not participating in this activity before. When I go to Hawaii next time, I will definitely rely on your services again.

ハワイに到着した日の15時出発に参加しました。
おかげで時差ボケ防止になりました。
スタッフの方は、チェックイン時の日本語の説明は得意のようで、わかりやすかったです。また、明るくひょうきんな対応は、ハワイに来た♪って思えます。
船に乗り込むときには、全員、履物を専用のBOXに預けます。また、運が悪いと乗り込む際に波に襲われ膝上まで濡れてしまうのでご注意下さい。
私たちが参加した日は、非常に天気が良かったのですが、船上は風が強くかなり涼しかったです。みなさんが書かれているように上着を持参されることをお勧めします。
70歳近い両親と参加したため少々不安でしたが、イルカの群れやウミガメを見ることができ、二人ともとても喜んでくれました。船に弱い母もこのヨットの揺れは大丈夫だったみたいです。
船上で販売されている飲み物も良心的な値段で楽しめます。
ハワイは6回目だったのですが、なぜ今まで参加しなかったのか少々悔やんだりして。。。
次にハワイに行くときは、またお世話になります。

We went snorkeling. We saw the turtles and lot's of fish, octopus, moray eels. Then we went high speed sailing. Captain John and Rabbit are the most fun tour guides.
