All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

とても楽しかったです。海は青くて良かったです。

すごーくやかったです。海は、青いしよかったよ。

I went on a submarine (＾＾) and it was so much fun!! Since I can't swim, the underwater world was a mystery to me! I was so excited to board. I never expected to see so many fish, and it was truly a wonderful time. The schools of fish and their natural behaviors are things you can only feel when you enter their world. There were even fish that came right up to the window, which was moving. What impressed me the most was that there were five sea turtles at the sunken reef! Even with so many people around, I got so excited that I shouted "turtle, turtle!" Afterward, I felt a bit embarrassed! This was truly a valuable experience for me. I especially recommend it for those who, like me, can't swim. You can enjoy the feeling of being a diver without any practice (＾＾). You can experience a different sensation than at an aquarium. It was so much fun!

潜水艦乗って来ました（＾＾）すごく楽しかった！！
私は泳ぐことが出来ないので、海の中は未知の世界！ドキドキして乗り込みました。あんなに沢山の魚を見られるとは思っても居なかったので、本当に楽しい時間でした。水族館では見られないような魚の群れや、魚の自然な姿などこれって自分達が魚の世界に入って行かないと感じられないものですよね。ときどき窓のすぐそばまで来てくれる魚までいて感動でした。その中でなんと言っても感動したのが、[海がめ]船を沈めた漁礁になんと５匹・・かめって５頭かな？？もいたんです。まわりに沢山の人達がいるのに大興奮して「かめ・かめ」と大騒ぎしてしまいました。あとから考えると、ちょっと恥ずかしかった！今回は本当に貴重な体験をさせて頂きました。私のように泳げない人には、特におすすめします。だって練習もしないでダイバー気分を味わえるんですから（＾＾）。水族館とは違う感覚を味わえますよ。とても楽しかったです。

It was really great. I was a bit anxious because it seemed like the previous group canceled just before boarding, but still, I was able to see Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from above the ocean. It was a bit bumpy, but it was truly beautiful and left a lasting impression. When we moved to the submarine, I wondered if we would really dive, but I was amazed to see that we reached the seabed in no time. The sea turtles above the Asahi Kasei, the airplane, and the ship all felt like something out of a fairy tale, and I was completely captivated. I even forgot that I had a child next to me, and at the end, when I heard the comment about this... I came back to my senses and said, "It's beautiful." I was always intrigued. It was interesting. My child was also very happy and seemed to feel a strange sensation being underwater. Thank you for this truly valuable experience. Lastly, it was amusing to see the captain wearing headphones while diving, waving his hands and flapping his feet to the rap music.

すごくよかったです。前の組が搭乗する直前にキャンセルだといってのることができなかったようなので、ちょっと不安になりましたが、それでも、海の上からのワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができ、ちょっと揺れがきつかったけれどほんとうにきれいで、印象にのこりました。潜水艦に移ったとき、これが本当に潜っていくのかとおもいましたが、あっというまに海底についたのをみて、おどろきました。旭化成や飛行機そして船のうえにいる海亀、どれもこれもおとぎのくにの中のようで、すごくひきこまれました。となりに子供の居ることもわすれてしまって、最後にこれが・・・のコメントを聞いて、われにかえって、「きれいだね」って話かけたほどでした。常に興味ぶかかったです。おもしろかったです。こどももおおよろこびで、水中に居るということに変な感じをうけていたようです。本当に貴重な経験ありがとうございました。最後に船長さんがもぐっている間、ずっとイヤホン付けてて、ラップの踊りを手を振り、足をバタバタさせていたのも、おもしろかったです。

It was a great experience. I look forward to doing it again.

The show is wonderful. The food was horrible. All salty to the taste and food that was suppose to be hot was cold.

I had surfed a few times before with previous lessons but never with this company. My boyfriend had never surfed before. We were picked up more or less on time by the driver, driven to the surf shop, and introduced quickly to our teacher, Ivan, a lovely man who has lived in Oahu over 20 years. He gave us our gear, including two massive boards that we toted to the beach. We then had a lesson on the sand for about 15 minutes, then out to sea!
We enjoyed the surfing, though I was a bit afraid of the waves and thus Ivan toned it down until I was confident. Once I was, though, he took us out to where regulars were surfing, and we did more or less okay!
Our lesson was 2 hours long, and we are both in 8 out of 10 shape, but were both POOPED by then end - so I recommend that you keep the lesson length in mind with your own fitness!
I absoultely recommend no more than 2 or at most 3 people to an instructor so that noone holds the group back.
Ivan was a nice man and I felt he was low k

We participated as a couple. For someone like me who can't swim, it was the perfect attraction, and I was excited and nervous about what the bottom of the ocean would be like. Fish came right in front of me, and I was able to see a turtle, which was fun. From the boat returning to the beach, I was lucky to see dolphins diving.
I think people of all ages, from small children to the elderly, can enjoy this.

夫婦で参加しました。泳げない私にはピッタリのアトラクションで、海の底はどんな感じだろう？とワクワク、ドキドキでした。すぐ目の前に魚がきて、カメも見れて楽しかったです。ビーチに戻る船からはイルカのダイビングが見れてラッキーでした。
小さい子から年配の方まで楽しめると思います。

We had a great time! We opted for the sit down dinner to get window seats for 4. The dinner was more food than we could eat which was served course by course beginning with cocktails and skewered shrimp, followed by a salad, lobster, and lastly steak and vegetables. They time the meal so that you are finished in time to watch the sunset. There is a small deck outside that only holds about 20; so keep an eye on the time and leave your table early to secure a spot on the deck to watch the sunset. After the sunset return to your table to enjoy the entertainment and dessert. Overall this was a great experience.

Excellent way to sightsee - no traffic, no buses - our best experience here yer!

It was my mom's birthday and we went with the family ! What a great time we had and the food was just fantastic. A lot of the dinner cruises don't seem to put to much thought and effort in the cuisine, but whoever came up with the menu for the Pacific Star obviously knew what they were doing. The nice thing was how relaxing and quiet it was. My sister walked around the boat and noticed how loud the hula show was, and I am glad that we chose the Pacific Star. The guitar player was top-notch and it was a nice not having to yell at each other to hear everyone over the music.

THIS WAS ONE THE BEST TIMES I HAD WHEN I WAS IN HAWAII. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THE SUNSET WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. I WAS WORRIED THAT THE BOAT WOULD BE ROCKY BUT IT WAS SMOOTH SAILING AND THE UPPER DECK IS A GREAT PLACE TO SIT BACK AND RELAX WITH YOUR HUNNY!

This was probably one the best hi-lights of our trip.It was a very pleasant surprise,as we had no idea what to expect.The only thing wrong was that the sun didn't co-operate for us .But all in all it was a very pleasant experience.I will do this again if we ever make it back there.

Thanks,
Bill Claypool

I enjoyed it when the speed was high in the first half, but in the second half, it became more relaxed, which felt nice, but I almost dozed off. It was easy to participate and I had a great time.

前半のスピードが出ていたときは楽しめましたが、後半はのんびりしてしまい気持ちよいのですが、うとうとしてしまうくらいでした。
気軽に参加できて楽しめました。

a friend of mine who went to hawaii last spring break told me about the pacific star and i am so glad that she did. the food is sooooo good and it is awesome being in the private lounge since i went around the boat and saw the other decks and they were totally crowded. we had our own private restroom and even a nice little deck area too. and only $5 for martinis! can't go wrong!

I rode a submarine for the first time. At first, I wasn't very enthusiastic about it, but once I got on, I surprisingly felt like a kid again, even as an adult. There were six of us participating, and just like others mentioned, none of us experienced seasickness, allowing us to enjoy the underwater world. I didn't expect that such a large submarine would have fish coming so close to us, so it was a very valuable experience. However, since we went straight to this optional activity after arriving in Hawaii, everyone ended up falling asleep towards the end. Next time, I want to participate with more leisure.

初めて潜水艦に乗りました。始めはあまり乗り気ではなかったのですが、乗ってみると意外と大人でも子供に戻るものなんですね。6人で参加したのですが、皆さんが書かれていたような船酔いも誰一人もなく海の世界を見ることができました。あんなに大きな潜水艦なのに、直ぐ近くまで魚達が寄ってくるとは思っていませんでしたので、とても貴重な体験でした。しかし今回はハワイに着いた足でそのまま、今回のオプショナルに参加したせいか、みんな最後の方には、寝てしまっていました。次回はもっと余裕を持って参加したいものです。

The last time I came to Honolulu, I went to Germaine's Luau (ICK!) and since I had such a miserable time with them, I decided to give luaus another chance and headed over to the Royal Hawaiian Luau with my boyfriend. I am SO glad that I went since it was a great experience and we had a really good time. The food was very delicious, the show was top-notch and it was really romantic.

I often come to Hawaii and have been on pretty much every dinner cruise on almost every island. The Star of Honolulu is a vessel that I often frequent when I am here in the islands since it has always provided my husband and I with a wonderful evening. The Pacific Star has become our new favorite with its initimate lounge setting, quiet atmosphere, delicious Pacific Rim cuisine and a chocolate fondue-like dessert that is to tasty for words. I personally do not like the loud and rowdy hula shows, so the Pacific Star is definitely my cruise of choice!

My friends and I have experienced the beautiful Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and it was the most memorable event ever. To begin the night was a graceful performance of the hula performers who greeted us aboard. We enjoyed songs of a live band and our favorite cocktails as we were seated to our table. The interior of the boat was elegantly decorated with special lighting and table settings, perfect for setting the mood of any occasion. As the large boat cruised smoothly through the waters of Oahu, my friends and I were able to capture beautiful photos together on the observation deck. With the sea surrounding us, we watched the beautiful sunset. Our dinner was immediately brought to our table with excellent service. We had an excellent steak and all you can eat crab dinner course. Throughout the rest of our tour, we watched an entertaining act of Polynesian dancers of different cultures, like Hawaiian, Tahitian, Samoan, and Tongan performances done by professionals with great aloha sp

Some friends and I got together to attend the Royal Hawaiian Luau at the large beautiful pink hotel of Waikiki and it was great. We were greeted with beautiful orchid flower leis at the entrance of the luau by the performers and immediately served a welcome mai tai. The whole setting of the feast was decorated with class and Oh-My-Goodness, the beach and the sunset was perfect to capture a photographic memory.

The host of the show did not waste anytime in welcoming all the guests preparing us for a wonderful feast and show. The food was delicious. There were several isles of Honolulu's most popular food and desert and lets not forget the huge roasted pig that everyone looked eager to taste. The Polynesian performers were brilliant. They were graceful, energetic, and very entertaining. They got the audience involved and let visitors get an experience their first hukilau and Tahitian dancing. The Polynesian performers were awesome and very energetic. They really put on a great show.

I participated with my mother. I chose this experience because I wanted to show her the beauty of the ocean in Hawaii, even though she is not good at swimming. I was worried about the boat ride from the shore to the submarine since I am not good with boats, but I was able to move to the deck twice along the way, so I didn't get seasick. The submarine itself was stable and reassuring.

However, I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer fish than I expected. But it was worth it because my mother was happy.

母と二人で参加しました。泳ぐのが苦手な母にハワイの海の綺麗さを見せたくて選びました。私は船が苦手なので沖から潜水艦までの船の移動が心配でしたが、途中で二回の船上へ移動することが出来たので酔ったりしませんでした。潜水艦自体も揺れが無く安心でした。
ただ、思ったより魚が少なくって残念でした。でも母が喜んでくれたので行って良かったです。

This is an excellent adventure. I would highly recommend this tour. A great way to see the Island for the first time. These folks are very professional and the equipment is in great condition. The pilots knowledge of the Island really made the tour more than a good view. I felt very safe while on the tour.
Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I had an absolute blast. I was orginally going to attend the luau by myself but i was able to talk my friend into going with me and i thought that it was awesome. i loved all of the hawaiin dances. but i thought that the fire dance guy (forgot what it is really called) was the coolest. I have never had hawaiin styled food and i liked how there was a wide varity of hawaiian food for me to try. i enjoyed it all very much. thank you.

First of all, may I just say YUMMM!? If there is one thing that this luau does well, it is the food! The buffet lines were groaning under the weight of all of the delicacies and the tables were laden with a bounty of food. There were tossed, macaroni and shrimp salads, an incredibly yummy fruit salad mixed with haupia, a perfect lomi-lomi salmon (not too salty like how a lot of places make it), some kalua pork which was insanely juicy, of course there was some of the ever-popular mahi-mahi, and my favorite, teriyaki beef that just melted in my mouth! I kept going back for more and even though I was stuffed, I still had enough room for dessert, and thank goodness for that. The guava cake was to-die-for and the macadamia nut cream pie was a little slice of heaven. Yes, it was really THAT good! Out of all the luaus I have to been to so far, the Royal Hawaiian Luau has, by far, the BEST food!

My friends and I were quickly checked in at the ticket counter and then we made our way on the

Even elementary school students who found just Waikiki Beach and shopping insufficient were satisfied to go to the bottom of the sea in a real submarine. It's conveniently located for boarding, and it was great to participate as it also healed our tired bodies.

ワイキキビーチやショッピングだけでは物足りない小学生も、本物の潜水艦で海の底に行けたのには満足げでした。便利な場所から乗船できるし、疲れた身体も癒されて、参加して良かったです。

I participated with my children.
There was a mishap where I accidentally forgot the date I had reserved, but when I inquired over the phone in my broken English, they kindly allowed me to join on another day, and I was able to enjoy a fun sailing experience.
(Thank you very much!!)
Some people were lying on the net stretched out at the front of the yacht and having a great time.
I also got to take a commemorative photo with the cool captain.
The female staff were very kind and helpful.
For those interested, you can purchase a DVD with many edited photos taken on the boat.
For small children, they provide life jackets, which is reassuring.
When boarding, the water can be up to your knees, so sandals are recommended.

I would love to participate again if I have the opportunity! ☆

This was my first experience on a submarine, and the tour is designed in such a way that even those who can't scuba dive or snorkel can fully appreciate the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. It starts off slowly and gradually, but right after submerging, the view of the shimmering water surface from below is stunningly beautiful. At times, it feels so mystical that you might even question whether you're underwater or in the sky, with colorful fish that seem to be flying.

There are also areas where boats and planes serve as artificial reefs, and you can see a particularly wide variety of fish there. While I didn't see any sharks, I was able to spot sea turtles quite well. The guide's Japanese was entertaining, and the pamphlet provided for following along with the live commentary was clear and well-made.

One thing to note is that the shuttle ride to board the submarine can make you feel seasick, so if you're worried about that, it's a good idea to bring motion sickness medication. Also, the air conditioning inside the submarine is very effective (especially at your feet), so I recommend using the restroom before boarding and wearing pants instead of shorts.

潜水艦は初めてでしたが、スキューバやシュノーケルが出来ない人でも海の中の美しさや神秘さまでもが充分に伝わるツアーになっていますよ。段階的にゆっくりと始まるのですが、沈んだ直後に海中から見える水面がきらきらと美しく、途中ここは海なのか空なのか錯覚するくらいに神秘的で、色とりどりの魚たちがまるで空を飛んでいるようにも感じる時が何度もありました。
船や飛行機が人工のサンゴ礁の変わりになっているところもあり、そこでは特にたくさんの種類の魚たちが見ることが出来ます。サメは見られませんでしたが海亀もしっかりと見ることが出来ました。ガイドの方の日本語がおもしろおかしく、ライブ中継を聞きながら確認できるように配られたパンプレットもわかりやすくよく出来ていました。注意点としては、潜水艦に乗り込むまでのシャトルで船酔いしそうになるので心配な方は酔い止めを用意したほうがいいことと、潜水艦内の冷房が大変よく利いている（特に足元）ので、潜水艦乗船前のシャトルではトイレは済ませ短パンではなくズボンを履いていったほうがいいと思います。

I think it can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of age. It's safe, and the explanations and guidance are provided in a thorough manner, so I think it's better to have a Japanese guide. The interior of the ship was not as cramped as I had imagined, and I didn't feel concerned about my neighbors. I was able to see rays swimming gracefully and many turtles in the relaxed sea. As a note, since there are steep stairs to go up and down, it's advisable for women to wear pants. If you are prone to seasickness, it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.

年齢問わず誰にでも楽しめると思います。安全ですし。説明や案内も丁寧にしてくれくるので日本語ガイドの時がいいと思います。艦内は思っていたよりも狭くなく、隣が気になるような事はありませんでした。エイが優雅に泳いでいたり亀が沢山いたりゆったりとした海の中を見る事ができました。注意事項としては急な階段を上り下りなので女性はズボン着用が望ましいです。船酔いする方は酔い止めは必ず飲まれたほうがいいですよ。

I tried surfing for the first time, and amazingly, I was able to stand up on my first attempt! We practiced very easily on land at first, but the staff who spoke Japanese explained everything clearly, so I understood well. I participated in a private lesson, and the instructor read the good waves and gave me encouragement, allowing me to ride waves that I wouldn't have been able to manage on my own! The rainbow over the waves is a must-see☆ There are quite a few rocks hidden under the waves, so be careful of injuries. Also, my feet got scraped by the board and it hurt. I highly recommend private lessons!

初めてサーフィンをしましたが、なんと1発目で立つ事ができました！！始めに陸上でほんとうに簡単に練習をしただけでしたが、日本語を話せるスタッフがきちんと説明をしてくれたので、よく理解もできました。プライベートレッスンに参加したのですが、インストラクターが良い波を読んでくれて掛け声をかけてくれたので、1人では乗れないような波にも乗ることができました！波の裏側にかかる虹は必見です☆結構波の下に岩が隠れているので、怪我には要注意です。あと、足もボードで擦れて痛かったです。レッスンはプライベートがオススメです！

I participated with my 3-year-old child on February 10th. As expected, I got seasick on the boat to the submarine, which was quite tough. The travel time was about 10 minutes, but including the transfer time for other groups, we had about 15 to 20 minutes of docking time near the submarine, and I felt nauseous during that time as well. There are only two toilets on that boat, so I recommend using the restroom at the hotel before boarding. (Also, entering that toilet made me feel even more nauseous due to the cramped, sealed space.)

I was expecting to see colorful corals and fish inside the submarine, but perhaps because it was deep underwater or due to the lack of light, everything appeared to be a bluish color. This was unexpected and quite disappointing. At the five points we visited, there were many fish at the last point, but the others were rather lackluster. It was different from what I had imagined, and I felt sad and got more seasick than I expected, making it a tough tour. However, I think riding the submarine was a good experience, but once is enough.

２/１０に３歳の子供と参加しました。
やはり、潜水艦までの船で酔ってしまい、かなりツラかったです。
移動時間は１０分位ですが、他のグループの乗り換え時間などを含めると、潜水艦の近くでの停泊時間が１５分~２０分近くあり、その間も気持ち悪くなってしまいました。
トイレがその船に２個しかないので、ホテルで済ませるのをお勧めします。
（また、そのトイレに入ると、密閉された狭い空間の為、さらに酔ってしまいました。）
潜水艦の中は、色とりどりのサンゴや、魚を期待したのですが、深く潜ってる為？光が届かないせいか？魚もサンゴもすべて、青っぽい色にしか見えませんでした。
コレが予想外で、かなり悲しかったです。
魚も５つのﾎﾟｲﾝﾄでは、最後のﾎﾟｲﾝﾄはたくさん魚がいましたが、他はいまいちな感じでした。
ちょっと、思っていたものとは違い、悲しかったし、予想以上に酔ってしまい、ツライツアーでした。
でも、潜水艦に乗れたのは、良い経験だったと思いますが、１回乗れば十分。という感じでした。
