All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

Hanauma Bay can be accessed by rental car or trolley, but there is a limit on the number of people allowed in the bay (reservations are required), so for those who prefer convenience, booking through Veltra is a good option. While there were fewer corals compared to the islands of Okinawa, since I went in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of fish and the number of larger fish. Although it was an early morning tour, there were initially few people (the seawater was a bit cold at first), and the morning-only tour was more than enough to enjoy.

I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and the meeting point was at the valet area (hotel entrance) of the neighboring Ilikai Hotel, which was accommodating in English, and there were no issues at all (there was hardly any conversation). By the way, the people I went with were from Germany, Brazil, and Asia. An English speaker among us handled the communication. Inside Hanauma Bay, we had free time. There were lockers available for valuables, but we didn't use them (we took turns going into the water as a family). You might want to bring drinks (and maybe some light snacks). Be aware that there are restrictions on the types of sunscreen you can use. They provided snorkeling gear, including fins, but given the current situation, we only brought our own snorkels. We thoroughly enjoyed our time until the return meeting time, and they drove us back to the morning meeting point. After a short break in the afternoon, we went shopping. I'm glad I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time!

ハナウマ湾はレンタカーやトローリーでも行けますが、湾に入るには人数制限（予約）があるので、色々と面倒な人はベルトラ予約が気楽です。沖縄の島々よりはサンゴは少なかったですが、AMにいったこともあり色々な魚の群衆や大きい魚が思ったより沢山いました。朝早いツアーでしたが、逆に人も最初は少なく（少々海水が最初冷たかった）、ＡＭのみのツアーで十分楽しめました。
ヒルトンビーチリゾートに宿泊していましたが、集合場所はとなりのホテルのイリカイホテルのバレットエリア（ホテルの入口）で、英語対応でしたが全く問題ありませんでした（ほぼ会話する事がない）。因みに一緒に行った人たちはドイツ、ブラジル、アジアの人。逆に英語のわかる人が代表で対応してくれました。ハナウマ湾の中は自由行動。貴重品用のロッカーありとのことでしたが使用しませんでした（家族の順番で海に入って対応）。飲み物は必要かも（軽食程度も）。日焼け止めは種類に規制があるのでご注意を。シュノーケルは足ひれ含めて貸してくれましたが、このご時世我々はシュノーケルのみ持参しました。帰りの集合時間まで十分に堪能して、朝の集合場所まで車で送ってくれました。午後は少し休憩後にショッピングなどに。初めてだったのでハナウマ湾行ってよかったです！

Not only was there hula dancing, but there were also concerts featuring musicians from past generations, which was very enjoyable. Additionally, the fire dance was incredibly impressive! It's definitely worth going!

フラダンスだけでなく歴代のミュージシャンのコンサートも付いていてとても楽しめました。更にはファイヤーダンスも迫力満点！行く価値あります！

We participated as a family of ten. Some of us were experiencing a Segway for the first time, but the two instructors were kind and thorough in their teaching, allowing everyone to maneuver the Segway well and enjoy themselves. Since it was an evening experience, it wasn't too hot, and the breeze was pleasant. We were able to see wall art, stroll through the streets, and enjoy the wind and scenery by the seaside, visiting various places in a short amount of time. Our family of ten was able to fully enjoy Hawaii, creating the best memories of our family trip. Segways are amazing! We want to enjoy it together again.

家族10人で参加しました。セグウェイ初体験の者もいましたが、インストラクターのお二人が、親切丁寧に教えてくださり、みんなうまくセグウェイを動かして楽しむことができました。夕方の体験でしたので、暑すぎず風が心地よかったでし。ウォールアートを見たりや、街並みを散策したり、海辺の風と景色を眺めたりと、短時間で様々な場所まで行くことができました。家族10人で、ハワイを満喫することができて、家族旅行の最高の思い出ができました。セグウェイ最高‼️また、みんなで楽しみたいです。

Our server, Danny brought great energy and had exceptional hospitality service. Good experience and perfect to enjoy with family.

It was my first cruise, and I had a great time. The only regret was that a hurricane was approaching, so I couldn't see the sunset. Also, the lobster was not as impressive as I expected (laughs). Overall, I think it was good.

初めてのクルーズでしたがとても楽しかったです。
残念だったのがハリケーンが近づいててサンセットが見られなかったのが心残りでした。
それとロブスターがおもってたよりショボかったですね(笑)
まぁ、総合的には良かったと思います。

I went expecting a Japanese magician, but it was a different magician. Still, it was fun. However, I think you can't really enjoy it if you don't understand any English.

日本人のマジシャンを期待して行ったけど違うマジシャンでした。それでも楽しかったです。ただ全く英語が分からないと楽しめないなとは思います。

We had a great time on the sunset cruise. It was really easy and relaxing. And what a sunset!

We participated as a couple, and with one more person, we formed a small group of three, all of whom had experience with Segways, so we quickly got to practice and then hit the streets. Our guide was very good at Japanese (I initially thought he was Japanese) and was interesting to talk to, making him a great person. Riding along the coast with the refreshing breeze was the best. The two hours flew by. At the end, my husband accidentally fell due to a sudden brake, but since he had never fallen off a Segway before, it was a good experience to have. Thank you for the band-aid. I definitely want to ride again the next time I go to Hawaii!

夫婦2人で参加。あともう1人の参加で3人の少人数グループ、そして3人ともセグウェイ経験者だったので、練習はサクッとですぐに街に出られました。ガイドさんは日本語が上手で（最初日本人かと思った）話も面白くて良い人でした。爽やかな風を受けながら海沿いを疾走するのは最高でした。2時間あっという間。最後に夫が急ブレーキでうっかり転んでしまいましたが、今までセグウェイで転んだ事がなかったのでこういう事もあるという良い経験になりました。絆創膏をありがとうございました。また次にハワイに行ったら絶対乗りたい！

The chubby Elvis sang passionately, and every time he threw a scarf that he wiped his sweat with into the audience, cheers erupted, making him more popular than Michael. Michael, like the original, had undergone plastic surgery. His singing and dancing were inferior, but it was still pretty good. The food was a buffet, and I think the taste was good, plus you could have seconds. Each family had a commemorative photo taken, and I was told that if I bought it, I would receive signatures from Elvis and Michael after the show, so I purchased it. I also got to take separate photos with Elvis and Michael, which made for a memorable and fun experience.

ポッチャリのエルビスが熱唱し、汗を拭いたスカーフを次々と観客へ投げる度歓声が上がり、マイケルより人気がありました。マイケルは本家同様整形。歌と踊りは劣るけどまあ、良かったかな。食事はビュッフェのでお代わりも出来るし味も良かったと思います。家族ごとに記念写真を撮られ、買えばショーの後にエルビスとマイケルのサインが貰えると言われ買いました。エルビスとマイケルと別々に一緒に写真も撮らせて貰い思い出に残る楽しかったです。

We participated as a three-generation family, from elementary school students to those in their 70s. My mother, who is in her 70s and sensitive to sunlight with frequent bathroom needs, was concerned about not being a burden to others and considered what activities she could join. We decided to try the submarine experience.

The boat to the submarine was large and had restrooms, and as we headed out to sea, we could feel the Hawaiian sea breeze. I believe that as long as one can manage to descend the ladder to switch to the submarine, even older adults can take on this challenge. We were able to see both sharks and turtles. Even though my mother doesn’t understand much English, she said she had a great time, so I think this activity is perfect for participants of all ages.

小学生から70代の3世代で参加しました。
70代で日差しに弱くトイレが近い母親が、他のみんなに迷惑にならないで参加できるものはないかと考察して潜水艦に挑戦しました。
潜水艦に乗るまでの船は大型でトイレもあり、沖に出るのでハワイの潮風を感じることができ、沖で潜水艦に乗り換えるはしごを降りることさえできれば、年配者でも挑戦できると思います。
サメもカメも見ることができました。英語があまりわからなくても、楽しかったと言っていたので、幅広い世代で参加するにはもってこいだと思います。

It starts with a buffet. You can enjoy hula shows, ukulele performances, and hula lessons while you eat. The food was very delicious. A Mai Tai is included as well. After that, we moved to the theater. Although the seats were ordinary, we were seated about three rows from the front, in the middle, so we had a great view. I wasn't expecting much, but we got to see a wonderful show. I thought the Michael Jackson and Elvis impersonators would just be look-alikes, but their singing and dancing were so amazing that I could mistake them for the real deal. I'm really glad I participated in this show. On the way back, I was able to take photos with the cast, and I was very satisfied.

最初にビュッフェから始まります。フラのショーやウクレレの弾き語り、フラレッスンなど、食べている間も楽しめます。お料理はとてもおいしかったです。マイタイ一杯もついています。その後シアターに移動します。普通の席でしたが、前から3番目の真ん中あたりに座れて、とてもよく見えました。そんなに期待していなかったのですが、素晴らしいショーが見られました。マイケルジャクソン、プレスリーは「そっくりさんでしょ」と始まる前は思っていましたが、歌やダンスも本物かと間違うほどに素晴らしく、本当にこちらのショーに参加して良かったです。帰りにはキャストの方々と写真も撮れて、大満足でした。

The snorkeling in the early morning had high water clarity and was very good. A seal also appeared and was very cute. By the time we were leaving, the sand was stirred up and it was a bit murky, so it was great to go in the morning.

Snorkeling equipment was included in the rental, but there was a mishap where the driver forgot to hand it to us. The entrance fee is paid collectively by the representative, so only cash is accepted. Please be aware of this.

朝一番でのシュノーケルで水の透明度が高くとても良かったです。アザラシも現れてとても可愛いかったです。
帰るころには砂が舞って少し濁っていたので朝一にしてとても良かったです。
シュノーケル等レンタルがついていましたが運転手さんが私達に渡し忘れるハプニングもありました。
入場料はまとめて代表者が払うので現金のみしかダメでした。ご注意下さい。

It was the best luau show I've ever seen.

The regular luau show part was good, but the Elvis and Michael sections were truly moving.

今まで見たルアウショーの中で1番でした。

通常のルアウショー部分も良かったですが
エルビスとマイケル部分は感動モノでした。

I participated five years ago and had such a great time that this time I joined with my parents and my brother's family, a total of ten people. The view of the Waikiki hotel district from the ocean side was refreshing, and we could see Diamond Head up close. The sunset was incredibly beautiful. The kids and my father had so much fun and were very happy, saying they want to participate again.

This time the waves were high, and I got a little seasick, but that's also a good memory.

5年前に参加し、とても良かったので今回は親と弟家族総勢10名で参加しました。海側から見るワイキキのホテル街も新鮮だし、ダイヤモンドヘッドも近くで見られるし、夕日が沈むのがとても綺麗でした。子供達も父も凄く楽しかった・また参加したいと大喜びでした。
今回は波が高くてちょっと酔ってしまいましたが、それも良い思い出です。

I had a great time enjoying myself and my friend did too. The music was spot on. The candor of the crew was lovely. I highly recommend this cruise!! I would definitely do it again

It's a great time ! Yeeeeeeeeeee! Boat on boat action

As mentioned in the description, there was an exciting thrill like an attraction. It was very fun with splashes of water. The sunset was beautiful, and I was able to fully enjoy the Hawaiian sea. The explanations during the cruise were only in English, and Japanese was hardly understood. Since there were people from small children to the elderly, I think a wide range of people can enjoy it. Although it says unlimited alcohol, they only provide one type of cocktail, and it seemed difficult to get anything else. Since they serve while navigating, it might be understandable, but it’s quite strong, so be careful not to drink too much.

説明にもあったように、アトラクション的なワクワクドキドキがありました
水しぶきがかかったりして、とても楽しかったです
夕日も綺麗でハワイの海を満喫できました
乗船中の説明は英語のみで、日本語はほとんど通じません
小さい子から年配の方までいらしたので、幅広い方が楽しめると思います
アルコール飲み放題とありますが、提供するのは一種類のカクテルで、その他はなかなかもらえなそうな雰囲気でした
操縦しながらの提供なので仕方ないかもしれないけど、結構キツめなので飲み過ぎ注意です

Awsome trip. I'm 66 and would never scuba dive or even snorkel. The sub let me see all the colorful fish, and even a shark underwater. They were all over the sunken ship. So much more wonderful than watching a movie.

First, they take photos for you, and you can purchase them before disembarking at the end. All the photos are beautifully edited, so we bought the entire set.

You can have the best experience without getting wet or dirty. We saw a lot of beautiful fish.

It was also fun to see the submarine coming up to the surface for the first time!

We didn't specifically download the Japanese audio guide, but we were busy enjoying the underwater scenery, so it was fine without the audio guidance.

最初に写真を撮影してくれるのですが、最後下船前に購入可能です。どの写真もとても素敵に加工してくれているので、うちは全セットで購入しました。


水に濡れたり汚れる事もなく、最高の体験が出来ます。沢山綺麗な魚が見られました。　　

潜水艦が水面に上がってくる姿も初めて見たので楽しかったです！

日本語音声ガイドはうちは特にダウンロードはしませんでしたが、
海中の景色を見るのに忙しく、特に音声案内は無くても大丈夫でした。

Great experience overall, you will have to walk in ankle deep water so wear appropriate shoes. They offer free drinks and I’m not sure anyone was checking how many we had to I guess it’s unofficially unlimited. Wish it was a little longer of a ride the hour goes quickly

The boat crew was extremely helpful and nice. My group of friends and I had a great time hanging out on the boat and watching the sunset. I would recommend booking a private catamaran like this one if you have a larger group and you want a more intimate setting. Will definitely do this again the next time I'm in Hawaii!

The drinks are all-you-can-drink, but there are no restrooms, so I couldn't drink much. After the fireworks at night, the night view of the sea is beautiful, but it got a bit chilly, so it's better to have a jacket. ^_^

飲み物は飲み放題ですが、トイレがないので、あまり飲めなかったです。
夜の花火の後は、夜の海で夜景は綺麗だけど、少し肌寒くなってきたので、上着があった方が良いです^_^

Gliding on a Segway until sunset on the last day of my stay in Hawaii! After practicing in the spacious parking lot of the small Segway center shop, we headed into the city! From Kaka'ako to Magic Island Beach at Ala Moana. Then, we glided along the coast to a hill where we could see the setting sun, passing through the park. We covered quite a distance on the Segway! It was a fulfilling final day in Hawaii!!

ハワイの最終宿泊の日のサンセットまでの時間をセグウェイで滑走！
セグウェイセンターの小さいショップの広い駐車場で練習後に街中へ！
カカアコからアラモアナのマジックアイランドビーチへ。その後沈み行く太陽が見える丘へ海沿いを滑走して、公園を通り。　かなりの移動距離をセグウェイで！満喫のハワイ最終日でした！！

What a great experience! The crew were professional, fun and knowledgeable.

We had a wonderful time!, My son really enjoyed it. Staff was very nice. We got to see turtles had amazing Snorkeling experience.

Couldn't get tickets for Hanauma Bay, so chose this instead. Sent two 30-somethings on the excursion. They loved it! Saw several large turtles and lots of fish. Leaving off the beach is a plus since we were already laying out there. short and sweet and easy!

It was a good experience with my kids and families . We enjoy the performance and dances . The food is great we enjoy it too.

ALOHA!
It had been a while since I celebrated my 60th birthday in Hawaii, and I participated in a sunset sailing tour.
There were only my wife and me as the two Japanese participants, which made me a bit anxious, but despite getting soaked from the splashes, we were able to enjoy the sunset while drinking delicious beer and Mai Tais.
MAHALO!
I definitely want to participate again.

ALOHA!
還暦を迎えて久しぶりのハワイ、サンセットセーリングに参加しました。
日本人が私と妻の二人しかおらず若干不安でしたが、波しぶきでビシャビシャになりながらも、おいしいビール、マイタイを飲みながらサンセットを、見ることができました。
MAHALO！
また是非参加したいと思います。

I boarded the ship after a long time. The always courteous service makes sightseeing enjoyable. This time, I was able to observe sharks, sea turtles, rays, and many other fish, which left me very satisfied. It's rare to encounter a situation as perfect as this, but I think a leisurely stroll underwater is enjoyable, so if you have the time, I definitely think it's worth participating.

久しぶりに乗船しました。いつも丁寧な対応で楽しく観光出来ます、今回はシャーク、ウミガメ、エイ、他多くの魚を観察することが出来非常に満足でした。今回の様な完璧と言える場面にはなかなか遭遇しませんが、ゆっくりと海中散歩は楽しいと思いますので時間合えば是非参加してみる価値はあると思います。

This was such a fun family activity! A first for us, but something we’ll definitely do again when visiting Oahu. The staff was very friendly and clear on what we needed to do. The captain knows what he’s doing. He caught three awesome waves! A must do, especially if you have you get children!
