All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

We went on the Dinner Cruise for our anniversary and it was so enjoyable. They had some great entertainment (singer and dancers). The food was wonderful as well. But to top of our evening we were able to spot some dolphins swimming and jumping along side the boat. Could not have had a better experience and would definitely do this again.

It's an affordable tour that lasts an hour and a half. My husband and I rode on a catamaran for the first time, and it was stable with no rocking, making it suitable for older couples and families with small children. The view of Waikiki Beach from offshore was a different sight, and we took a lot of photos. Looking down at the water, we saw turtles and schools of fish swimming, and when the staff threw bread, the fish jumped out of the water with white splashes. Then, when the staff pointed and shouted "Whale!", we looked into the distance and, lo and behold, there was a whale showing its tail. When we stopped offshore, we could jump into the sea from the catamaran, which felt great. The staff didn't speak Japanese, but they were charming and kind, taking photos with us. There were also soft drinks ($1) and beer or champagne ($3) available, and we toasted on the boat. The hour and a half flew by, but it was a very enjoyable tour.

　１時間半で格安でお手頃のツアーです。
私たち夫婦は、初めてカタマランというものに乗りましたが、揺れもなく安定感のあるヨットのためか、高齢のカップルや小さな子供連れの家族も一緒でした。
沖合から眺めるワイキキビーチも一味違う光景で、写真をたくさん撮りました。
水面を見下ろすと亀や魚の群れが泳いでおり、スタッフがパンを投げると魚は白いしぶきを上げて水面を飛び跳ねていました。そしてスタッフが「ホエール！」と言いながら指さす先の遠くを見ると、な！、なんと！クジラがテールを出していました。
沖合で止まるとカタマランから海に飛び込むこともできて、とても気持良かったです。
スタッフは、日本語は通じませんが、愛嬌があっていっしょに写真を撮ってくれたりして親切でした。
また、ソフトドリンク（１＄）やビール・シャンパン（３＄）もあり、船上で乾杯しました。
あっという間の１時間半でしたが、とても気持いいツアーでした。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I participated in this activity! It was a bit chilly, but the weather was nice, and the ocean was sparkling and very beautiful. I thought there would be many Japanese participants, but it turned out to be just the two of us, and all the crew members only spoke English, so we couldn't understand what they were saying and felt a bit out of place. However, once we set off, it was incredibly refreshing, just as the name suggests, and the view from the ocean was stunning. The lower part of the yacht was a net, so we could see the ocean directly below us, which was fun. Plus, we were lucky enough to encounter a pod of dolphins! It was my first time seeing wild dolphins, and it was so moving! We even got to see them jumping. Along the way, we were served a Hawaiian drink called Mai Tai, so we were just full of good luck! I think it's a great deal to have such an experience for this price, so I highly recommend it! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely like to participate again!

ハワイ到着日に友人と２人で参加しました！
ちょっと寒かったですが天気も良く、海もキラキラしていてとってもきれいでした♪
日本人の参加者がたくさんいると思っていたら私たちだけで、しかもクルーの人たちもみんな英語しか話していなかったので何を言っているのかさっぱり分からずちょっと私たちだけ浮いていたかも・・・。
でも、出発してみると名前の通りすごく爽快で、海から見える景色もとってもきれいでした☆ヨットの下の部分がネットになっているので、真下に海が見れて楽しかったです。しかもラッキーなことにイルカの群れに遭遇しました！！野生のイルカを見たのは初めてだったので感動です！！！ジャンプしてるところも見れました♪途中、ハワイのお酒マイタイもサービスして頂き、ラッキーずくしでした♪この値段でこんな体験ができるのはとてもお得だと思うのでお勧めです！！またハワイに行く機会があれば是非参加したいと思います☆

My wife and I had a wonderful time , especially at the sub tour. Our guide was great! Wish we could have seen a few things out of the ordinary, such as mantas or turtles, but still some incredible sights to see!!!

I read that some people get seasick before boarding the submarine, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. However, depending on the weather on the day, it might not be necessary. In Hawaii, there are hardly any fish in areas without reefs, which was disappointing because the seawater wasn't as clear as I expected. However, I was lucky enough to encounter about 5 or 6 sea turtles, which some people might not get to see! I recommend sitting in the front on the right side facing the direction of travel for the best position.

潜水艦に乗り移る前の船で船酔いするとの書き込みがあったので事前に酔い止めの薬を飲んで参加しましたが、当日の天候によってはその必要は無いかもしれませんね、ハワイの海は魚礁のないところにはほとんど魚がいないんですね、海水が思っていた程澄んでいないのが残念でしたが、遭遇できない方もいらっしゃるという海亀に５~６匹も会えました（ラッキー！）
ベストポジションは進行方向右側の前の方の席がお薦めです。

I had so much fun learning to surf. The instructor, Sean, was the best! Very good teacher. I would recommend a lesson early in the day though because the photographer doesn't like to take photos during the 3:00 session due to the sun. My best ride was the last one and he had left already.

This was a great activity. We didn't see as many difference colored fish as I thought we would, but we did swim with the fish and see some sea turtles.

The sailing part was the most enjoyable. I could have stayed out all day.

The crew was friendly and helpful.

I participated in the 3 PM departure. It's great that there are afternoon departures available. It's perfect for getting used to the Hawaiian climate while enjoying the pleasant sea breeze when you're just relaxing on the day of arrival. Engaging in intense activities on the arrival day can leave you tired for the rest of your trip. I recommend it because you can indulge in a luxurious feeling at this price!

3時出発に参加しました。午後発があるというのがいいですよね。到着日にボーとしているときに心地よい海風をうけてハワイの気候に身体をならすのにはぴったりです。到着日に激しいアクティビィテイは残りの日まで疲れが残りますからね。この価格でゴージャスな気分に浸れるからおすすめです！

I participated at 3:00 PM on the day of my arrival on Oahu. I arrived from the Big Island at 11:30 AM, so I had plenty of time. At 2:30 PM, I went to the beach side of the Outrigger Reef on the Beach Hotel, where there were similar umbrellas for boat tours, and I quickly found the sign for the Outrigger Catamaran with blue letters and a staff member. He spoke Japanese well. (I've attached a photo for clarity.) It was my first time on a catamaran, so I was really looking forward to it. I was a bit worried since the boat was on the smaller side, but there was little rocking, and cruising while enjoying the pleasant breeze and views of Waikiki and Diamond Head was incredibly enjoyable—I lost track of time. The crew was friendly and interacted with everyone; there were only my wife and me as Japanese guests, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without feeling out of place. Along the way, we saw whales and fed fish, so there was never a dull moment. They also made cocktails on board, which everyone seemed to enjoy. I definitely want to go again when I visit Oahu. It's suitable for children too.

オアフ島、到着日の15：00に参加しました。ハワイ島から11：30に着いたので時間的にも余裕がありました。14：30分にアウトリガー・リーフ・オン・ザ・ビーチホテルのビーチ側にいくと同じような船の案内のパラソルがありますが青い文字のアウトリガー・ カタマラン号の看板が出てるところにおにいさんがいてすぐにわかりました。日本語も上手でしたよ。（わかるように写真を添えています。）カタマランは初めてなのでとても楽しみにしていました。船は弱いほうなので少し心配していましたが揺れも少なく心地よい風とワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドなどの景色を見ながらのクルージングはなんとも言い難い心地よさで時間のたつのも忘れるくらいです。クルーの人もみんなに声をかけてくれて日本人は私と妻だけでしたが浮くこともなく楽しむことができました。途中クジラを見たり、魚にえさをあげたりと飽きることなく楽しむことができました。中ではカクテルを作ってくれます。外国の人はみんなおいしそうに飲んでいました。オアフに来た時はまたぜひ乗りに行きたいと思います。子供さんも大丈夫ですよ。

It was a bit scary since it was my first time surfing, but the locals were warm and provided guidance, and I was able to experience standing on the waves! However, I felt that two hours was a bit short... I want to do it a little more!

初めてのサーフィンでちょっと怖かったのですが、現地の人も暖かく指導してくれて、一応波の上に立つという経験をすることができました！！
でも2時間じゃちょっと足りないかな・・・という印象は受けました。もうちょっとやりたい！！

Everything was great. Food, fun, and entertainment. From pick up to drop off. Professional and courteous. Great experience. I'd recommend t for everyone.

It was an experience that can't be seen in Japan.
I think people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, can enjoy it.

日本では見られない体験でした。
小さい子からお年寄りまで十分楽しめると思います。

one of the things my family wanted to do when we went to hawaii was go whale watching since we live hundreds of miles from the ocean, we figured that this would be a great opportunity and boy were we right! the staff did a great job of keeping everyone on board up to date with what was happening with the whales and the cruise was really smooth too.

food was good, staff was nice, great information, couldn't ask for anything more!

This is my second time. This time there was snorkeling as well. There were a lot of turtles, and I swam with them.

２回目です。今回はシュノーケリングもありました。
亀がいっぱいいて、一緒に泳ぎました。

I was able to spend a time that felt truly Hawaiian.

ハワイらしい時間をすごせました。

The ship departed with nearly 30 passengers on board. The sunset, just before it disappeared, was truly beautiful. However, shortly after boarding, I found it difficult to hold in my need to use the restroom, which was quite challenging. I held on for a while but didn’t realize there was a portable toilet available. The foreign guests were drinking and having a great time, chatting a lot. I would like to learn from them.

約30？名ほどの満席に近い状態で、出港しました。
夕日が、落ちる間際が本当にきれいでした。が、乗った早々ﾄｲﾚを我慢出来なくなり大変でした。しばらく我慢をしていましたが・・・簡易トイレがあることが分からず・・・
外人さんは、飲んで騒いで・・・本当によく話をしていました。見習いたいです。

Riko was awesome with me... I have a very tense/ stressful job and she just helped me relax and worked on my knots - I needed her to break up those bundled nerves in order for me to feel relaxed and be able to enjoy the rest of my vacation. this was not a luxury for me but a NECESSITY! Thank you Riko you did an awesome job, and I would recommend you to all my acquaintances as well as schedule a future massage when ever i return. Good luck with your business and keep up the good work. :)

It was my first time visiting Hawaii, and I took my family to the Royal Celebration. We had a great time as a family learning, and experiencing the Hawaiian culture. It was a very unique and quiet interesting. The food was beyond my expectations, so so delicious, and the outdoor venue is perfect to watch the Waikiki Sunset, view of Diamond Head, and to watch some waves coming in to shore. Beautiful pink hotel and we can't wait to do it again in our next visit to Hawaii. It was definitely a different and once in a lifetime experience. It is not your typical Luau, this is royalty style celebration, and we loved every minute of it.

Thank you for the great experience!

I have been on a catamaran several times and I really love it. This time, I had my father, who is over 60, ride it for the first time. Just before departure, thick clouds appeared, which was quite disappointing, but it seems that the charm of the catamaran cutting through the wind on the open sea was conveyed to my father. While the sunset time is nice, I personally recommend the daytime more. Under the sun, with a delicious drink in hand, relaxing to cheerful music and the rhythm of the waves... it's the best! The staff at the reception can speak Japanese.

カタマランは何度か乗ったことがあり、すごく気に入ってます。
今回は60過ぎの父にも初めて乗ってもらいました。
出発寸前に厚い雲が出てきてしまい、かなり残念でしたが、風を切って海原を走るカタマランの良さは、父にも伝わったようです。
サンセットの時間もいいですが、私としては昼間の方がお勧めです。
太陽の下、おいしいドリンク片手に陽気な音楽と波のリズムに身を任せてのんびり…最高！
受付の人は日本語が話せます。

We wanted to do something special for our Anniversary. We're celebrating 6 years. We've never done anything like this.
Taking the Navatek was a nice experience.
We had the best seat. We recommend paying extra for the window seat its worth it. And the Sunset was soo Awesome. I was worried about getting sea sick I'm sorta sensitive, But I was uneffected. I did not get sick :)
I've lived in Hawaii my whole life and my Husband has been here for over 10 years so we see beautiful senaery everyday, And I've danced hula and tahitian Yet, Its just nice to get away and enjoy Hawaii for yourself...
We had a Great Time and would Do it Again :)
Maybe next time we'll take my Mom in Law I think she'd love it!

This cruise was a great way to start our two week vacation in Hawaii!
We had a great time although the way the gentlemen at the check in referred to it as the booze cruise, you had wave down a crewmen in order to get a drink or a refill!
We had a great sunset and a full moon rising which made it extra special.

This time, my youngest child was just tall enough to meet the height requirement, so we were able to ride a submarine for the first time! We traveled by boat to board the submarine, and it was great to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea. I was worried about getting seasick, but I managed to board the submarine without any issues. The underwater view was not as clear as I had expected, and as I had heard, the coral was in a dying state, which gave me a different impression of the underwater world than I had imagined. It was interesting to see planes and ships that had been intentionally sunk, and there were fish and sea turtles around them. It felt a bit like being in a modern-day Urashima Taro story!

今回、末っ子も身長制限をぎりぎりクリアできていたため、初の潜水艦に乗ることができました☆潜水艦に乗り込むところまで船で移動するのですが、海上からのワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができよかったです。心配していた船酔いもせず、潜水艦に乗りました。海の中は、思っていたよりもクリアではなく、珊瑚も死んでいる状態と聞いていたとおり、思っていた海の世界と違った印象を受けました。わざと沈めたという飛行機や船などがあり、そこに魚たちや海がめがいたのがおもしろかったです。ちょっとした浦島太郎気分でした♪

Since it was a cloudy day in Oct., we didn't really get a spectacular sunset, but that's not the cruise company's fault. The ride to Diamondhead and back was nice. Staff was very friendly, and the hula/ singing show was pretty good. The big bus picked us up a block away from our hotel, so we didn't have to deal with trying to find the boat, or parking. A big plus!

In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.

ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを１度は体験してみたい！ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう！』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。

This summer, I participated with my family. It was our third time on a catamaran, but our first time riding one in Waikiki. The price is quite reasonable, and you can truly enjoy the essence of an overseas resort, so I definitely recommend joining. On a catamaran, you can experience a refreshing feeling that you can't get on larger ships, and since there are relatively few Japanese people on the tour, I think you'll really feel like you're abroad!

今年の夏に家族で参加。カタマランは今回で３回目でしたがワイキキで乗るのは初めてでした。値段的にも安く海外リゾートの醍醐味を味わえるので是非参加をお勧めします。カタマランは大型船では味わえない爽快感を味わうことができますし、比較的日本人がいないツアーなので海外に来たことを実感できるとおもいますよ！

I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.

他の人の書き込みに屋上でやったとありましたが、私たちのときは広い中庭でやり、非常に開放感がありよかったです。海も見えます。
ショーもいろいろな踊りがあり、メリハリがあり楽しかったです。司会は英語で観客が何人か参加する場面も有りました。（外国の方はのりがよく盛り上がっていました）
ファイヤーダンスはすごかったです！
最後に出口にダンサーが何人かいて一緒に写真をとってもらうことができました。

The cruise was great!
The staff was very efficient, and helpful too.
Ambiance onboard was great, with music and a unique openbar!
I recommand this cruise to everyone, couple or friends!

Free alcohol (unlimited) and the ocean? Awesome time! One of the best values on my trip. Paid WAY more for WAY less one some other ones!

My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.

This was my first time participating, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. The food was great in a buffet style, and the main show was absolutely amazing!! There were guest participants, and it was really entertaining. The final fire dance was very powerful, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.

After the show ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers, so I am very satisfied.

今回初めての参加でしたが、最初から最後まですごく
楽しめました。ご飯もビュッフェスタイルで良かったし
なんといってもメインのショーが最高でした！！
ゲスト参加もあり、ホントにおもしろかったです。
ファイナルのファイアーダンスはとても迫力があり
目が離せませんでした。

ショーが終わったあと、ダンサー達と写真もとれたので
とても満足です。
