All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The staff's explanations in Japanese were easy to understand and sufficient for my 4-year-old daughter who participated with me. We were very excited to see many sea turtles. The only slight disappointment was that, although the waves were calm, the visibility wasn't as clear as I had expected.

スタッフの日本語の説明は聞き取りやすく、一緒に参加した4歳の娘にも十分な説明でした。たくさんの海ガメを見ることができ大興奮でした。少し残念だったのは、波も静かでしたが予想していたほどクリアには見えなかった事かな。

My group 8 people took on the ride and 8 came back stating this was by far the best thing they had experienced and all 8 said they would go back again and Highly suggest anyone wanting to see from the sky down what is happening need to take the 60 minute ride as our group did. Thanks for a wonderful time members of the Vacation Club.

The boat lost engine power in the middle of going back to shore. Apparently there was some water in the fuel so we ended up staying out till about 8:30 or 9:00 with screaming children. It was fun other than the engine giving out. They said it had never happened before which is probably true but nevertheless, it wasn't as pleasant as I had hoped.

Don't expect a high-end resort spa. If you are looking for spa with pool, sauna, gym, etc., this is not it. HOWEVER, if you simply want to enjoy some high quality massage for an amazingly affordable price, this is where you need to go.

The facility is just a small cozy room, but the quality you will get is more than what you pay for. As advertised, my therapist worked for some other big hotel spa so it's the same quality you will get as you pay double the price, or even more. She said she likes working at this salon because she can really enjoy her work.

I decided to go back again at the end of my stay in Hawaii. This is definitely a hidden secret of Waikiki. I'd recommend their service to anyone who are simply looking for a high quality massage, nothing more.

Thank you!

The boat ride to the submarine was pleasant, and it was interesting since it was my first experience on a submarine.

The waves were strong, so the water was murky, but it was still nice to see fish and turtles.

It can be a bit rocky, so those who are prone to motion sickness might get seasick quickly.

I recommend the Japanese guide option.

潜水艦までの船も気持ちが良くて、潜水艦も初体験なので面白かったです。

波が強かったので、水中も濁ってしまっていましたが、それでも魚やカメも見れて良かったです。

揺れるので、乗り物に弱い方はすぐ酔ってしまうと思います。

日本語ガイドの時間がおすすめです。

this was a very relaxing and romantic excursion of tranquility.
great food and entertainment. the scenery was awesome and the sunset was glorius. the people who entertained and served were impeccable in quality

My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!

I participated in a bodyboarding lesson. After two hours of instruction, I believe anyone can ride the waves. After taking this lesson, I went bodyboarding in Kailua. I'm glad I took the lesson.

ボディーボードレッスンに参加しました。２時間も教わるとＢＢは誰でも波に乗ることができると思います。このレッスンを受けた後にカイルアでＢＢをしました。レッスンを受けておいてよかったです。

The underwater world spreads out in the ocean. You can enjoy the waters of Waikiki. Personally, riding in a submarine was a great experience.

海中のアンダーワールドが広がります。ワイキキの海の中を楽しめます。個人的には潜水艦に乗ること自体が良い体験となりました。

I requested to add more people at the last minute, and they kindly accommodated us, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves. I thought we would only see fish, but we were also able to see a significant number of sea turtles swimming, which was a valuable experience.

直前で人数追加お願いしたのですが快く対応してくださり、皆楽しむことができました。
魚だけだと思っていたらかなりの数の海ガメの泳いでいる姿も見ることができ、貴重な体験ができました。

It was our 38th anniversary and we had a great time! The server and the crew were very nice! I would do it again! Thanks so much.

This is my first trip to Hawaii for a 3-night, 5-day company trip.

Since it's only 3 nights, I thought it would be a waste not to make the most of it! So, I decided to challenge myself to surfing starting from the afternoon of the day I arrived!!!

It's my first time surfing.

The instructor only spoke in English, so to be honest, I was quite nervous...

But with simple Japanese, they guided me to paddle and stand up, saying things like "OK!!!!"

However, they pushed me at the right timing with the waves, so even though it was my first time, I was able to stand up!!

It was so moving!!! So much fun...!!

After returning to Japan, I can't forget that joy, and I'm planning to start surfing!

3泊5日の　社員旅行で　初の　ＨＡＷＡＩです。

3泊だから　もったいない！！遊び倒さなきゃって　思い
到着した日の　午後から　サーフィンに　挑戦！！！

初の　サーフィンです。

インストラクターが　英語でしか　しゃべれないから　正直
かなりあせりましたが・・・・

簡単な日本語で　漕いで漕いで　立って立って
　
ＯＫ！！！！見たいな感じで・・・

でも　うまいこと　波のタイミングで　押してくれるから

初めてなのに　立てることが出来ました！！

感動！！！たのしい・・・・！！

日本に帰ってから　あの　楽しさが　忘れらんなくて
はじめるつもりでーす！！

it was funfilled. the value for money is not upto the mark.

Although I was very unhappy about the seating arrangement, overall it was great.

We had a great great time!!!

I would recommend this to everyone i know. It was all worth it. My partner and i enjoyed evey minute of it! The food was the bomb! We had 3 star which is a 5-course meal. i even took pictures of the food! Our server Rita was so nice, i always see her smiling and she was very attentive to us! It was so fun!

I will surely go back and this time i'm gonna bring my mom!

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...

The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.

こちらでサーフィンレッスンを受けるのは２回目で、レッスンを受けたいというより、いろんな意味で安全なので、ひとりのときは必ずクラスに入ってます。岩やサンゴで危なかったりもしますよね、ちゃんと先生が見張ってて教えてくれます。ぼーっとしてると、叱られたりもしますけど・・・

カメラマンさんが、レッスン風景を撮影してくれてますので、思い出に・・・と思う方は購入出来ますョ。ちなみに、１レッスン分入ってて３０ドル＋税ぐらいでした。

Great Show, Enjoyed the Venue....food not to great?

This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.

The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.

The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.

I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.

I participated because I wanted to ride on a yacht rather than a large ship.

The floor of the yacht is netted, allowing you to see the ocean! (Of course, there are also seats that are not netted.)

When the wind blows, ocean spray hits you and it's chilly, but that's part of the fun.

You can order alcohol and soft drinks, and I enjoyed sipping a margarita while relaxing and gazing at the vast ocean under the blue sky. It felt wonderful!

I was lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins.

Not all the participants were Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so there were generally no issues.

For those who might get seasick, it could be a concern, but the participation fee isn't too high, so I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to feel the Hawaiian breeze!

大きな船ではなくヨットにのりたくて参加しました。

ヨットの足元はネット状になっていて、海が見られます！
（もちろんネットになっていない座席もありますよ）

風がふくとオーシャンスプレーがかかってちべたいですが、それもまた楽しい。

アルコールやソフトドリンクもオーダーでき、
青い空のしたで大きな海を眺めながらのんびりマルガリータを飲みました。
とっても気持ちよかった！

私はラッキーなことにイルカもたくさん見られました。

ほかの参加者はみんな日本人ではありませんでしたが、
ガイドの人が日本語が話せるので、だいたい問題ありません。

あんまり船酔いする人はあれかもしれませんが、
参加費もそんなに高くないので、
ハワイの風を感じたい人にはとってもおすすめです！

Had a wonderful experience! Would do again!

I stayed at a hotel on the outskirts of Waikiki, very close to the Honolulu Zoo, and I found this spa while looking for one nearby! I chose it mainly because it was close, and I was extremely satisfied. According to the staff who attended to me, most of the estheticians are veterans from famous spas. They focused on the areas that needed attention, and the service was outstanding, taking care to consider my comfort during the treatment. I felt that resetting both my mind and body with a massage made my stay in Hawaii much more enjoyable, rather than dragging the fatigue from my work in Japan.

ワイキキ動物園のすぐ近く、ワイキキの外れのホテルに滞在だったので、近くのスパを探していて見つけました！
近いからという理由で選んだのですが、満足度は大！です。担当してくれたスタッフの方のお話では、ほとんどのエステティシャンが有名スパ出身でベテランばかりだそうです。
こっているところは重点的にやっていただけたし、こちらの様子に気遣いしながらの施術でサービス抜群です。
やっぱり日本での仕事の疲れをひきずっての滞在より、いちどマッサージで心身ともにリセットするとハワイがもっと楽しめる気がしました！

It was a very good experience and we enjoyed it a lot.

It was a day with very strong winds. I was prepared to get wet, but it was beyond what I expected. I think it would be better to participate in a swimsuit. It was a lot of fun, but rather than elegant sailing, it felt like an exhilarating banana boat ride.

However, I had some trouble finding the check-in, as it was at the beach behind the Outrigger Hotel. I was looking for someone dressed appropriately, but in reality, there was just an ordinary guy sitting under a beach umbrella. The boarding area was about 50 meters away from there, and it might be more accurate to say it was near the beach in front of the Halekulani Hotel.

Additionally, I was informed on-site that the sailing would start 30 minutes late. As expected, it's Hawaii time! If you have plans after sailing, I think it's good to be aware that such things can happen.

風がとても強い日の参加となりました。
ぬれることは覚悟でしたが・・・・半端じゃなかったです。
水着で参加するほうがいいと思います。
とても楽しいですが、優雅にセーリングというより、スリル満点のバナナボートって感じでした。
ただ、チェックインは、アウトリガーホテル裏のビーチでの受付だということで、受付の人を探すのに手間取りました。
それらしい格好をした人を探していたのですが、実際は、砂浜のパラソルの下に普通のおじさんが座ってるんです。乗船する場所は、そこから５０メートルくらい離れていて、ハレクラニホテル前ビーチのそばという方が正確かもしれません。
それから、セーリング開始が３０分遅れになることを現地で聞かされました。さすが、ハワイ時間！セーリングの後に何か予定を組まれる方は、こんなこともあるので、注意された方がいいかと思います。

The location was hard to find, and when I called, a foreigner answered and hung up on me. When I returned after it was over, there was a sign out. The content was very good.

場所がわかりにくくＴＥＬしたけど外人が出て切れて
しまった。終わってから戻ったら看板が出してありました。
内容はとても良かったです。

My wife and I celebrated my 66th birthday on April 1st on board the Navatek 1. We had a great time and would do it again.

Did not see whales on first trip. Saw a lot of whales really close up on rebook. Great time.

This was our second time to Oahu and our second sunset cruise. The first time was with Navatek and that was a nice cruise but we felt that one was overcrowded (we upgraded our cruise on both trips). The cruise on the Star of Honolulu was much more expensive than our upgraded Navatek cruise so we were looking for a much improved experience.

The Star of Honolulu cruise was VERY personal as there were very few people who upgraded to the upper deck package. Matt and Captain Roy were extremely attentive and a pleasure to be around.

Unfortunately it was very overcast and the ocean choppy for our voyage but the dining experience was first class. The jazz show was phenomenal as well.

The coach ride felt like herding cattle, and at the price of our ticket I would expect a more personal form of transportation (I realize a personal car required an additional upgrade, but would have expected something more intimate than a full sized tour bus). There was little to no information given

The Catamaran was great. Hosts were very friendly. We saw whales and dolphins. This is well worth the price. My whole family enjoyed the ride. Hawaii was more than we ever imagined. The view from the catamaran was great. See a couple of pictures.

The view of Waikiki from the ocean is wonderful, and enjoying drinks while mingling with a diverse group of people and watching the sunset was truly delightful. I highly recommend it!

海からのぞむﾜｲｷｷの風景もさることながら、お酒を飲んでわいわい多国籍の人たちを盛り上がりながら、ｻﾝｾｯﾄをみるのは、とっても素敵でした。ぜひぜひおすすめ。

Until now, I had only been on large ship cruises, but this time I chose a yacht. Besides us, everyone else was foreign, and I liked that it didn't feel like a "Japanese option." After boarding, the staff provided explanations in English, and although there were parts I didn't understand, it added to the excitement of being in a foreign land! The boat advanced into the sea, splashing water, and it was a luxurious experience to be so close to the staff as they raised the sails and steered the boat. We didn't see any dolphins or whales, though...

I would like to use this service again.

今までは大型船のクルーズばかりでしたが、
今回はヨットにしました。
私たちのほかは、みんな外人で、”日本人向けオプション”ではない感じが良かったです。
乗船後は、スタッフから英語で説明があり、わからない部分もありましたが、またこれが異国の地だという感じで気分が高揚します！
船は水しぶきをあびながら、海へつきすすみ、
帆をあげ、舵をとるスタッフの方々も間近で、
なんともいえない贅沢な時間でした。
イルカもくじらも見ることはできませんでしたが・・・。

また利用したいと思います。
