All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

The food was diverse and delicious, the dancing was powerful, and it was great to see the sunset. My child was thrilled to get a turtle tattoo on their shoulder. I would love to go again the next time I visit.

料理は種類も豊富で美味しく、踊りも迫力があり、サンセットも見れ良かったです。子供は肩に亀の絵をタトゥーしてもらい大喜びでした。次回訪れた時も行きたいと思いました。

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!

I signed up for the activity on the recommendation of an acquaintance. Running through the blue sky with the wind while listening to music was incredibly refreshing and felt great. I saw a lot of big turtles. I definitely want to participate again!

知人に勧められてアクテビィティ申し込みました。
音楽をかけながら青い空を風をきって走るのはすごく爽快で気持ちよかったです。大きな亀がたくさん見れました。
また是非参加したいです！

Makani Kai has one of the best reputations for safety in the islands. Knowing that, the experience of flying over the island of Oahu was quite enjoyable and relaxing. The pilot and ground crew are efficient and courteous. Easy to find if you drive yourself with available free parking!

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I have exhausted all the optional tours featured in magazines. I participated with my husband and our two sons, who are in middle and elementary school, making a total of four of us. I had always wanted to experience sailing on a large yacht after seeing others enjoy it, and with the kids' request for snorkeling, we decided on this tour.

Since it was during the Obon holiday, half of the participants were Japanese families. There were no Japanese staff on the tour, and all explanations on the yacht were in English.

We walked to the meeting point, which was easy to find. The yacht departed on time. After about 20 minutes, we arrived at our destination off the coast of Waikiki, where we received instructions on how to use the goggles and floats, as well as information about the fish we would see. We then enjoyed an hour of snorkeling. The wind was calm, and there was little rocking; the water was clear, allowing us to see many small and large black fish. Our underwater camera was put to good use. On the yacht, soft drinks were available for $1 and beer for $3. The remaining time was spent sailing back while enjoying the views of Waikiki. We went quite far out and close to Diamond Head, where dolphins and turtles approached the yacht.

I had some anxiety about signing up since there were no participant reviews, but I truly felt it was a great decision to join this tour.

今回は8回目のハワイで、雑誌に掲載されているようなオプショナルツアーは行きつくしている贅沢モンです。
夫婦と中学生・小学生の男子、合計4人で参加しました。以前から大きなヨットでセーリングを楽しむ人々を見て、いつか私も体験したいと思っていたツアーでした。子供たちのリクエストもあってシュノーケリング付きの、このツアーに決めました。
お盆の時期だったので、参加者の半分は日本人のファミリーでした。ツアーのスタッフに日本人はいません。ヨット上での説明もすべて英語です。
集合場所まで徒歩で向かいました。場所はすぐに分かります。時間通りにヨットは出発しました。20分ほどで目的地のワイキキ沖に着き、ゴーグルや浮きの使い方や見える魚の説明があり、その後1時間シュノーケルを楽しみました。風も穏やかで揺れも少なく、海の透明度は良く大小の黒い魚がたくさんみえました。持参の水中カメラが活躍しました。ヨットの上で、ソフトドリンク1ドル・ビール３ドルで買えます。残りの時間は、ワイキキ沖をセーリングしながら帰ります。かなり沖の方やダイヤモンドヘッド近くまで行きました。その時、ヨットの近くにイルカやカメがよってきました。
参加体験談が無かったので申し込み時には不安もありましたが、このツアーに参加して本当に良かったと思いました。

Quite an experience and probably the best time of our trip to Honolulu. We experienced snorkeling with turtles as advertised, one even came up for air in the middle of the four of us. My teenagers were quite excited. On top of that we got to see dolphins that swam with us and around our boat, which is very unusual. The crew were great and very helpful, knowledgeable and upbeat. We had so much fun we went back for the afternoon cruise the next day and had a great time drinking (adults), singing and splashing thru the waves. Also got to see more dolphins along side and a school of fish skimming up on the surface, very cool. We highly recommend this tour and operator.

This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.

Due to the impact of the typhoon from the previous day, I thought, "Will it be canceled?" as I headed to the venue, which was supposed to take place as scheduled. The event was held not outdoors, but in a hotel convention hall. However, they smoothly guided the approximately 500 attendees, and the show started on time. The singing and speaking of the male vocalist, whose voice resonated well, along with the powerful dance performances, were no different from what you would experience outdoors. The food was delicious (I was particularly impressed by the tenderness of the roast beef and went back for seconds!) and you could enjoy two drinks (beer or soft drinks). After the show, I took photos with the dancers and felt great as I stepped outside, only to be met with a downpour that made me wonder if it had been canceled. Of course, it must be amazing outdoors as well, but I had a valuable experience. The reservation process was easy, the food was tasty, and it was fun to be surrounded by lively groups of foreigners.

P.S. There was no fire dance since it was indoors.

前日からの台風の影響で、時折スコールや風があったため「中止かな」と思って会場に行きました。
ところが、予定通り開催するとのこと。
会場は屋外でなく、ホテルのコンベンションホールを使っての実施でした。
　しかし、５００名はいたであろう観客をスムーズに案内し、ショーは定刻にスタート。
　声のよく透る男性歌手の歌と話。そしてダンスパフォーマンスの迫力は、屋外と何ら変わりませんでした。
食事もおいしいし（特にローストビーフの柔らかさに感動！おかわりしちゃいました♪）ドリンク（ビールorソフトドリンク）も２杯飲めるし。
　ショーが終わってダンサーたちと写真をとって気持ちよく外にでたら、途中で中止だったかなと思わせるほどの土砂降りでした。
　もちろん、屋外でもサイコーなんでしょうけど、貴重な経験をさせてもらえました。
　予約も簡単だし、食事もおいしいし、ノリノリの外人グループたちに囲まれて過ごすのも楽しいですよ。
　追記：室内だからファイヤーダンスはありませんでした。

a really enjoyable evening entertainment was excellent as well as the food would reccomend this trip for anyone.

I was always terrified of boats...but this sunset cruise was the best gift my husband could have ever given me! We had so much fun, and I enjoyed the sea, from the sea! I have always been a beach lover, but sailing, WOW it's breath-taking. I would do it again if I ever have the good fortune to return. The crew made sure everyone had the best time. The drinks were great, and music too. It was one of the best times of my life. AND we could afford this one!! Thank you!!

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!
