All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

This luau was nicely done. The food was good and the music and dancing was nice. This luau is worth going to again. We all enjoyed ourselves.

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, and this time I went on a submarine with my wife. We encountered sea turtles twice, which was moving. Next time, I would like to see the stars on the Big Island. It was fun, thank you very much.

ハワイは5回目ですが今回家内と潜水艦に乗りました
ウミガメが2回出逢いました感動しました次回はハワイ島の
星を見たいと思っています。楽しかった有り難うございました・

It was my first time surfing, but the instructor taught me carefully, making it easy to understand and fun!

初めてのサーフィンでしたが、インストラクターの方が丁寧に教えて下さったので、分かりやすくて楽しかったです！

Having made all the arrangements online, I was a bit nervous because this was my wife's 50th birthday celebration and we had 23 family members in attendance. The boat, food, service and ambiance were beyond my expectations! I would highly recommend this Sunset Dinner Cruise.

Great job to all those at Hawaiian Activities that had anything to do with helping me to put on such a great celebration for my wife and family.

Best regards!

I participated in the 10 AM session on November 19. We departed from the meeting point on time and headed to the beach. From there, we boarded a boat and made our way to the submarine. The beauty of the blue sea viewed from the boat was so stunning that I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" The moment the submarine surfaced with big bubbles was definitely worth seeing.

I chose a seat at the very back on the right side of the submarine. The explanations were in Japanese, but unfortunately, I couldn't hear the announcements from the lady speaking in front very well, possibly due to my position. However, the view of the seabed from the window was absolutely amazing, and I was deeply moved by the sight of fish and sea turtles swimming gracefully in the beautiful sea. It was also impressive to see the children sitting nearby getting so excited. I believe that no matter where you sit, you'll have an equally good view.

On the way back, we split into groups for those returning to the hotel and those wanting to go to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and they arranged cars for us. Additionally, for those going to Ala Moana, there was a very helpful service where a car would come every hour to take us back to Waikiki!

11月19日10時の回に参加しました。
時間通りに集合場所から出発し、ビーチへ。
そこから船に乗り、潜水艦へと向かいました。船上から見る海の青の美しさは思わず「きれ~」と声に出してしまう程です。ボコボコっと大きな泡が出てきて潜水艦が海上へ現われる瞬間は見る価値がありました。
潜水艦では私は右側一番後方の席に座ることに。
日本語の説明だったのですが、位置が悪かったのか前でお姉さんが話しているアナウンスがあまり聞こえなかったのが残念でした。
窓から見える海底の様子は本当に最高で、魚やウミガメが綺麗な海を気持ちよさそうに泳いでいる様子にとても感動して思わず窓にはりつきそうになりました。近くに座っていた子供さんが興奮しまくっていたのも印象的です。どこの場所に座っても平等にいい景色が見れると思います。
帰りは、ホテルに帰る人、アラモアナショッピングセンターに行きたい人と分かれて車を出してくださり、またアラモアナに行った人は1時間毎に迎えの車が来てワイキキまで送ってくれるというとってもありがたいサービスがありました！

Had a great show and good food.

I had two people which have trouble walking. The trek from the bus drop off, through the mall, to the ship was a bit too long. Also, I had a guest who is very particular about how his meat is cooked and they did not even ask how you want your steak done. Could improve on those two points for the benefit of us old folks!

we enjoyed the luau out very much this was our first time but definitely the highlight of our whole trip., would highly recommend to friends and family, entertainment and food was great!

First, I was taught how to paddle and stand in the shop. Although I could hardly understand Japanese, they taught me multiple times until I understood, so I didn't have any trouble at all.

When we started the lesson in the ocean, I was initially scared of the big rocks and coral and couldn't stand up, but I was able to ride the waves quickly once I calmed down. The coaches were really funny, and while we were waiting for the waves, they chatted a lot, which made it really enjoyable. They encouraged me many times, which motivated me to keep going even when my body was tired!

I definitely want to go again!

最初にショップの中でパドリングや立ち方を教えてもらいました。日本語がほとんど通じなかったのですが、理解できるまで何度も教えてくれたので、全然困らなかったです。
海でレッスンを開始して、最初は大きな岩やサンゴが怖くて立てなかったのですが、落ち着いてやればすぐに乗れるようになりました。コーチ達は本当に面白い人たちで、波を待っている間もいっぱいしゃべってくれてほんとに楽しかったし、何度も励ましてくれてやる気を起こさせてくれるので、体が疲れていても最後までがんばれました！
また行きたいなと思いました！！

This submarine dive was awesome. It goes down about 120 feet and makes its way through two shipwrecks, a plane crash, U of Hawaii's artificial coral project... Not to mention all the fish and wildlife you see. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! However, do pay attention to the languages set for the time you go. But if you happen to get on a Japanese tour, there are headphones with English.

The day before the wedding in Hawaii, I participated with my parents and my partner's parents, a total of six people, to foster friendship.

We really enjoyed the activity!! Especially the blue sea seen from the boat on the way to the submarine! It was beautiful!! (You should definitely go up to the deck!!) Once on the submarine, we saw many fish, turtles, and sharks, and there were thorough explanations in Japanese, which made my parents happy.

If you understand a little English, I highly recommend trying the English explanations as well. They provide clear and interesting information! (When wearing headphones, you might hear other guests suddenly burst into laughter during the English explanations, which makes you curious about what's going on, haha!)

ハワイ挙式の前日、親睦も兼ねて両家両親・計6人で参加してきました。

アクティビティ自体は大変楽しむことが出来ました!!とくに潜水艦までいくまでの船からみる海の青さ！キレイ!!（絶対デッキにあがるべき!!）
潜水艦に乗ってからも魚や亀やサメなど沢山見え、日本語の説明もしっかりあり、親も喜んでいました。

また少し英語が分かる方は、英語の説明も是非トライしてみてください。分かりやすくいろんな話をしてくれます！（ヘッドホンをしていると、英語の説明を受けているお客さんが突然爆笑したりして　ナニナニ？と気になります　笑）

I participated in a premium tour. This was my first time in Hawaii and my first activity, so I was a bit anxious about how the transportation would work, but I went to the pickup location. However, from the moment I got on the bus until I got off the return bus, there was a proper explanation (system) in place, which allowed me to participate with peace of mind.

Regarding the submarine, I felt there might be some variability depending on the direction you sit, but since it's a natural experience, I think that's unavoidable (actually, you can't choose as you are guided to one of the two entrances). Nonetheless, I was able to see many fish on the ocean floor that you normally wouldn't see, and I was impressed by the abundance and beauty of the fish.

プレミアムツアーに参加して来ました。
今回の参加が、初めてのハワイ、かつ初めてのアクティビティで、どのような形で送迎してもらえるのかも分からず、多少の不安を持ちつつピックアップ場所に行きました。
しかし、バスに乗る時から、帰りのバスを降りる時まで、きちんとした説明（システム）があり、安心して参加することが出来ました。
潜水艦については、乗る方向によって若干の当たり外れがあるようにも思いましたが、自然のものであり、止むを得ないと思います（というか、２箇所ある入り口のどちらかに案内されるので選べないですが）が、普通は見るのことのできない海底のたくさんの魚が見ることができ、魚の多さやきれいさに感動しました。

Really loved the cruise! Lots of laughs and fun! Beautiful views.

I wish we had gone to the Royal Hawaiian Luau first since we went to another one on our first night in Honolulu and it was nothing compared to this one! The food was excellent! The teriyaki beef was tender, the kalua pork was incredibly flavorful (and they had a whole roasted pig as well!), the mahimahi was some of the best I have ever had and I even tried a bit of the poi (wasn't great, but I had to try it again!). The service was quick and friendly and the drinks were very yummy.

I liked the fact that the show is very engaging and all of the performers just shined on stage. It is a bit pricier than some of the other luaus, but it is definitely worth it!

The staff, fluent in Japanese, arrived on time to pick us up.

We spent nearly 40 minutes diving in the sea, exploring the coral reefs.

I was so moved by the beautiful ocean that I felt like crying.

It was easy because there were explanations in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

時間通りに日本語ぺらぺらのスタッフが迎えにきてくれた

４０分近く海に潜って、サンゴ礁などを見た

きれいな海に感動して、泣きそうだった

日本語、中国語と韓国語の説明があるので楽だった

The sunset sail was very beautiful, but the bartending needs some improvement.

I participated in the 9:00 tour on October 27! Since I was with my elderly parents this time and we couldn't dive, we decided to take a submarine to see the underwater world easily. The shuttle boat to the submarine was quite rocky, but when we went out on deck, the blue sea was beautiful! It was fun to see a pod of dolphins jumping alongside us (unfortunately, they didn't show up in the photos...). My mother, who is sensitive to motion, looked a bit unwell at first, but she felt better with the wind blowing on her, and she enjoyed watching the dolphins.

The view from the submarine had more sand than I expected, making it look murky. I heard there are no natural coral reefs, but there were planes and ships that have become homes for fish, and we could see fish, sea turtles, sharks, and even divers conducting research. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making for a pleasant experience. Inside the submarine, there was hardly any rocking, so my parents were fine. They enjoyed the deep blue world of the ocean.

１０／２７の９：００のツアーに参加してきました！
今回は高齢の両親連れのため、潜ることもできそうにないので、お手軽に海の中を見ようということで、潜水艦に乗ることにしました。
潜水艦へ行くまでのシャトルボートは結構揺れますが、甲板に出ていると、青い海がきれい！イルカの群れがジャンプしてついてきたりして楽しかったです☆（写真には残念ながら写ってないみたい・・）乗り物に弱い母は最初気分悪そうでしたが、外の風に吹かれているとマシだったそうで、イルカは喜んで見てました。
潜水艦からみた景色は思ったより砂が多くて濁っている感じ。天然のサンゴ礁はないそうですが、飛行機や船が魚のアパートになっていて、魚や海がめ、鮫、あと調査中のダイバーさんもみることができました。スタッフの方々もにこやかな対応で、気持ち良く過ごせました。潜水艦内はほとんど揺れは感じず、両親も大丈夫でしたよ。深海の青い世界を楽しんでました。

The views were awesome!!! Food was great!! No complaints!!!!

I have to say that this dinner cruise will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only was the view beautiful, the agenda was entertaining, and I was actually proposed to on this cruise! Thank you for a spectacular evening that added to a wonderful occasion for us. The atmosphere could not have been better!

We had a wonderful time. The food was great and the sunset breathtaking

Make sure to get their signature shaker cup with the signature drink-Outrigger Cocktail! Sail was awesome and beautiful with the sunset!

It was wonderful.

I participated in a Japanese-language tour. Naturally, all the participants were Japanese, making it feel as if I were in Japan, but I was glad I chose a Japanese tour because I didn't miss any of the suddenly appearing fish. I was able to see many more fish than I expected, including sharks, rays, and sea turtles! I was torn between a premium tour and a regular one, but I had plenty of fun on the regular tour.

日本語の解説のツアーに参加しました。当然、参加者は日本人ばかりでまるで日本にいるかのようでしたが、突然現れる魚などを見逃すことがなく、日本語のツアーにしてよかったと思いました。
思っていた以上にたくさんの魚を見ることができました。サメやエイ、海がめも！
プレミアムか普通のツアーか迷いましたが、普通のツアーで十分に楽しめました。

The food was good and generous and the entertainment was fantastic.

During our stay in Oahu we went to two luaus. By far this was the best. It is in a great location. The sun was setting in the background. Very romantic

I participated in the Premium Submarine tour with a total of 11 family members, relatives, and friends. It was a very valuable experience to see turtles swimming and even sharks. Everyone was thrilled, and I'm glad we joined. However, the boat ride to and from the submarine can make you seasick, and some people who joined us got sick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must!

プレミアムサブマリン日本語の回に、家族・親戚・友達、総勢１１名で参加しました。
カメが泳いでいる姿やサメまで見れて、とても貴重な体験でした。みんなも大喜びで、参加して良かったです。
ただ、サブマリンまでの往復の船が酔いやすく、一緒に参加した人も酔ってしまったので、酔いやすい人は、酔い止め必須です！！

I participated w/ a bunch of friends, and it was one of the highlights of our Hawaiian vacation. We've never been on a sailing boat, and we absolutely LOVED it. Their original Mai Tai was the best. We had a great time onboard. Thanks!

Before heading to the sea, I was taught how to stand on the board inside the shop. The instructor taught me in broken Japanese, but once we got into the water, the instructor spoke only English except for a few phrases like "paddle," "stand," "come here," and "danger." I don't understand English at all, so even if I had questions or things I wanted to know, I couldn't get my point across, which made me anxious in the water.

I had surfed once in Japan just for fun, so I could manage somewhat without starting from scratch, but my companion was a complete beginner and not very athletic, so they struggled with paddling. I felt like we were left to fend for ourselves, and I don't think it was a very good school.

There were about four instructors in the water (with many students), and one of the Black instructors was particularly strict, to the point of being harsh. He would push his board towards students in front of him without any concern, which could have caused serious accidents.

I think it would be tough for someone with no surfing experience and no understanding of English.

海に向かう前に、店内でボードに立つ立ち方を教わりました。その先生は日本語（カタコト）で教えてくれましたが、
海に入ってからの先生は、日本語は全く理解できず、「こいで」「立って」「こっち来て」「危ない」以外は全て英語でした。
私は英語が全くダメなので、わからない事や、聞きたい事があっても理解してもらえず、海の中では不安でした。

サーフィンは日本で１回遊び程度にやった事があるので、いちから教えてもらわなくてもそれなりにできましたが、私の連れは全く初めてで運動もできる方ではなかったので、パドリングもうまくできなかったのですが、放置されたり、あまりいいスクールではないかなと思います。

海の中の先生は４人くらいいましたが（生徒はいっぱい）、そのうちの黒人の先生は特に厳しいというか、ひどかったです。前に生徒がいるのにそこに向かって平気でボードを押されたりして、ぶつかったら一大事なのに。。。

サーフィンの経験が全くなく、英語も全くわからない方は厳しいと思います。

I had big expectations of this submarine ride and I was proven right. Equipment is well maintained. Staff are friendly and very competant, with great line handling and people skills. The experience was relaxing, entertaning and fun as well as having interest in more technical terms for underwater enthusiasts. The gift shop has some good value souveniers too.

I took my girlfriend to the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was very romantic and fun. We booked the Royal Package, so we were taken to the upstairs which was much better than standard in the downstairs (i think!). The foods were great, and we couldn't even finish the three (3) drink tickets we received. The guy who was singing and playing the guitar for us that night was fantastic. The boat itself was pretty stable, and even though I was worried that I would get seasick, neither of us did. :)

For the foods, drinks, entertainment we got, I would recommend this cruise to anyone! Our server, Jenn, was very pleasant as well.

My fiancée took me to the 5-Star on our last evening in Hawaii and it was the perfect end to a wonderful vacation. From the moment the limo picked us up from the hotel to the time we were dropped off, the customer service was INCREDIBLE. I am so glad that he decided to book the 5-Star since the other decks looked pretty crowded and definitely not as intimate as the Super Nova Deck.

We got the Couple's Plan upgrade and we got window seating, a bottle of champagne and this great photo of us on this pretty leather cover. The maître d' and the waiters provided incredible service and the whole atmosphere was very upscale and refined.

The dinner was very scrumptious and I loved how there were many different dishes served throughout the evening. Also, I had been on other dinner cruises where they bombard you with annoyingly LOUD touristy Hawaiian music, but with the 5-Star, it was soothing jazz and I LOVED IT!

This is the PERFECT romantic dinner cruise!!!
