All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

I participated on the night I arrived in Hawaii. I was looking for a tour to see hula dancing, and I decided on this tour because I could also see rock music performances. At the buffet venue, I felt relieved to see that everyone around me was Japanese.

During the meal, I enjoyed watching hula dancing right next to me, creating a pleasant atmosphere. As for the buffet, I thought it was just okay, but personally, I found the roast beef to be delicious. For dessert, there were various options like fruits, ice cream, and mini cakes, but you might have to wait in line quite a bit, so it’s better to prepare early.

After the meal, we moved to the stage area, and depending on the plan, the staff guided us to our seats. I was worried I might feel sleepy due to jet lag, but the hula dancing at the beginning was captivating, and afterward, the entertainment shows featuring Elvis and Michael were all stunning. The performances were engaging enough that the time flew by, and I had a lot of fun. I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii.

ハワイに到着した夜に参加しました。フラダンスを観たくてツアーを探していたらロックも観れるとの事でこのツアーに決めました。ビュッフェの会場では周りの方が日本人ばかりでホッとしました。
食事の合間にすぐそばでフラダンスの踊りを見て和やかな雰囲気でした。ビュッフェの味はこんなものかなと、私個人ではローストビーフが美味しかったです。食後のデザートはフルーツ、アイスクリーム、ミニケーキなど色々ありますが、結構並ばなければいけないので早めに用意していた方が良いかもです。
食後ステージ会場に移動、プランによりスタッフが席に案内してくれます。時差ボケで眠たくなるかなと心配してましたが、最初はフラダンスで見応えあり、その後はエルビス、マイケルのエンターテイメントショーどれも圧巻でした。飽きのこない演出で時間が短く感じるくらいに楽しかったです。またハワイに行ったら参加したいと思います。

I enjoyed a buffet featuring local Hawaiian cuisine. They also serve lovely cocktails. The quality of the food is high, and everything is delicious. If you want to get the popular desserts, you should go for them early, as there’s a bit of a scramble! The dining experience lasts about two hours, during which hula dancers and hosts keep the atmosphere lively. After that, there was a show in the theater featuring local singers and performances that recreated famous artists. The authentic dance, singing, and music blend very well together. The performance engages the audience, making it enjoyable without getting boring. There were also small children in attendance. Since they performed Disney songs, I think it can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.

ハワイの現地のご飯をビュッフェを楽しみました。ドリンクも素敵なカクテルがサービスされます。ご飯のクオリティーが高く、どれも美味しいです。デザートは早めに取りに行かないと人気なものは争奪戦です！ご飯の所要時間は２時間内ぐらいで、その間にフラダンサーの方やホストが場を盛り上げてくれます。その後のシアターでのショーでは、現地のシンガーや有名な歌手を再現したショーなどがありました。本格的なダンスと歌、演奏がとてもマッチしています。観客を巻き込んだパフォーマンスで飽きずに楽しめます。小さなお子さんも見にきていました。ディズニーの曲も披露していたので、幅広い年代で楽しめると思います。

The show only had a little hula dancing, and the meal was simple. At 25,000 yen per person, it’s way too expensive. I thought there would be a stage, but they just danced a little between the seats. From our seats, we could only see the back of the dancer. I won't come back again.

ショーが少しフラを踊ってくれる程度で食事も質素。あれで1人25,000円は高すぎる。
舞台が　あるのかと思っていたけど　客席の間で少し踊るだけ。
私達の席は踊ってる人の後ろ姿が見えるだけ
もう2度といらない。

I found it difficult to make a reservation myself, so I joined a tour. The guide spoke English and worked hard to translate, which made me feel at ease. This was my fifth time at Hanauma Bay, and I was able to enjoy plenty of time playing with the tropical fish in the shallow waters among the coral reefs.

自分では、予約が難しいのでツアーに参加。ガイドさんが　英語でしたが、
一生懸命　翻訳してくれて　安心できました。ハナウマ湾は、５回目でしたが
浅瀬がサンゴ礁のため　熱帯魚とたっぷり遊べました。

The weather is awesome! I got to see a group of honu (sea turtles) and dolphins, which was amazing! I enjoyed plenty of Waikiki and also got to see Diamond Head, which was fantastic!

天気☀️もサイコー！
ホヌ、イルカの群れにも会え、サイコー！
たっぷりワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドも見れサイコー！

- That was a great show! Excited about every performance. Delicious food with plenty of choices. The staff is welcoming, adorable, smiles all around, and polite to every customer.
- I love the performance! The stage acts are fantastic, and every actor performs so well. The singing is incredibly beautiful
- A place near the accommodation, convenient to travel to, and easy to find parking.
- My husband and I will definitely come back to use the service again, and we'll bring our family along next time.

I enjoyed both the buffet and the show from start to finish. There were some songs I didn't know, but the interaction with the audience during the show really made me feel like I was in a foreign country! I had a great time even by myself!

ビュッフェもショーも最初から最後まで楽しみました。知らない曲もありましたが、ショーでの観客とのやり取りとか、ああ外国に来たなぁという感じが満載でした！1人でも楽しめました！

Its our first time to travel to hawaii and attending a luau is for sure one of the things we want to try! I came across online this activity and booked it right away. We had it last night and all i can say was just WOW!!!!! LITERALLY WOW! Me and my husband did the Rock a Lua in the heart of waikiki, Just few steps aways from our hotel. We were greeted with sweet smiles of the reception and entertainers and sent to our table, The set up is good on the dining area, And come to the buffet set up it was all Gooooood!!! Also with the Roasted Pig? Omg! It was so goooooood especially the skin part! The welcome to dinner buffet and the performances in between was just really entertaining! We come to the performance time to the theater and its SPECTACULAR!!! we didnt expect that the show was like that, not the usual show but a lot of performances from singing to dancing with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Hahahahah that was the main show! Its kinda scary but at the same thing all of our jaw dropped! Its a jow dropping show and performances. The Dances were really good too, the band, the set up. Basically everything it was a lively and very entertaining show. Id do it over and over again if given a chance! THE WHOLE BUFFET AND SHOW WAS A SPOT ON!!! ITS WAS REALLY GOOD!

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.

I highly recommend it, five stars. The grand piano performance and the talented female singer were wonderful. Although it was labeled as jazz, I recognized many famous songs. The drinks and food were served properly, and during the sunset and fireworks, we stepped outside to enjoy the view while eating. I really enjoyed the piano and singing until the end, and I'm glad I chose the course meal. Everyone was dressed casually; there were even people in sandals and shorts. About 80% of the guests were Westerners.

５スターおすすめです。グランドピアノの演奏と上手な女性シンガー。ジャズと書いてましたが私もわかる有名な曲ばかりでした。飲み物も料理もきちんと運ばれたし、サンセットと花火の時は食べてる途中で外に出てゆっくりと見てました。最後までピアノと歌で楽しめたしコース料理にして本当に良かったです。服装はみんなカジュアルでしたよ。サンダルと短パンの人もいました。８割が欧米人でした。

I have relied on Mai Tai Yacht many times before. It's easy to find since it departs from in front of the Sheraton, and above all, the boat is beautiful, clean, and "looks cool," which makes it one of my favorites.

Usually, on the afternoon of the day I arrive, I make it a tradition to feel "I've come to Hawaii!!" by greeting the full view of Waikiki and Hawaii's symbol, Diamond Head, from across the sea. However, watching the fireworks and the atmosphere of the night sea was "exceptionally wonderful!!!!" It became the most memorable event of this trip.

During the fireworks, cheerful music played, and everyone was excited, cheering loudly. After that, the boat slowly made its way towards Diamond Head, and the gentle night breeze felt pleasant on my skin. The dark silhouette of Diamond Head was overwhelmingly impressive, and the sparkling cityscape of Waikiki in the distance was beautiful. I was able to relax completely, filled with a sense of liberation.

Looking up at the night sky at that moment, I was able to do some stargazing and even saw the "Big Dipper," which was an emotional joy. The Mai Tai cocktail here was delicious, and I ordered several refills (the cups are cute too). The cocktail boy served them with a big smile, which is another happy memory.

Additionally, you can safely store flip-flops and personal belongings in the box behind the seat. I will definitely make a reservation again next time. Mahalo☆彡

マイタイヨットは、これまでに何度もお世話になっています。シェラトン前から出航するのでわかりやすいのと、何より船が綺麗で清潔で「見た目がカッコいい」のでお気に入りです。
普段は到着した日の午後いちに「ハワイに来た!!」を感じるべく、海の向こうからワイキキ全貌とハワイのシンボルダイヤモンドヘッドに挨拶をするのがお決まりなのですが、花火鑑賞と夜の海の雰囲気たるや「格別に素晴らしく！！！！」今回の旅行での一番の思い出に残るイベントになりました。
花火鑑賞中は陽気な音楽が流れて皆さんヒューヒュー言って大盛り上がりでした。
その後は、ダイヤモンドヘッド側へゆっくり長い時間をかけて船を走らせてくれるのですが、静かな夜風が肌に心地よく。真っ暗なダイヤモンドヘッドは圧倒的存在感で。遠くに見えるワイキキのキラキラした街並みもそれは美しく。もう開放感いっぱいに体中をリラックスすることが出来ました。
このとき夜空を見上げると星空観測もできて「北斗七星」も観ることが出来ました、この喜びは感動ものです。
こちらのマイタイカクテルが美味しくて♪何度もおかわりをしたのですが（カップも可愛い）カクテルボーイの方がずっと笑顔で提供してくれたのもそれも嬉しい思い出のひとつです。
なお、ビーサンや手荷物は背もたれの中のボックスに入れて置けるので安心です。
また次回も絶対予約します。マハロ☆彡

Really fun sunset sail. Free open bar with multiple drinks. Very fun sail into the wind/waves for a bit of excitement. Saw some whale spouts, beautiful calm return sail. Some fun music to keep the festivities lively. Not too crowded at all.
The meeting place was well described and the cruise was as expected. Would recommend and would also hope to return!

I wanted to see a hula show, so I chose one of the entertainment shows that also offered dinner. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was delighted by the lei welcome, and I enjoyed the welcome drink, Mai Tai, as well as the buffet-style dinner, which was delicious. The service was timely, and the hula dancing during dinner was performed right beside us, making for a packed experience. I was able to see the long-awaited hula show from the front row, and it was incredibly powerful. The dancers were beautiful, and I was amazed at how the same performers could showcase such a variety of dances. I had just watched the movie "Elvis" on the plane, so I found it fascinating and enjoyable to see the Elvis show. Since I grew up during Michael's era, that was fun too. Above all, the fire show in the Polynesian show was spectacular and very impressive. It became a wonderful memory on my last night in Hawaii.

フラのショーを観たいと思いいくつかあるエンターテイメントショーの中から、ディナーも楽しめるとのことで選ばせていただきました。ハワイは初めてだったので、レイの歓迎も嬉しく、ウェルカムドリンクのマイタイもバイキング形式のディナーも美味しくいただきました。タイミング良くサーブもしていただき、ディナー途中のフラダンスもすぐそばで踊ってくださるのと、また体験もあり盛りだくさんでした。念願のフラのショーも最前列正面で見させていただき、迫力も満点でした。ダンサーの方たちも美しく、多種のダンスも同じ方？って思うほど、各種類のダンスも七変化で楽しませてもらいました。エルビスのショーもちょうど機内で『エルビス』の映画を観たすぐだったので、そっくりだなぁーと思いつつ、興味深く楽しませてもらいました。マイケルもちょうど世代なので楽しかったです。そして何よりポリネシアンショーの火のショーが素晴らしく、迫力満点でした。ハワイ最後の夜に良い思い出となりました。

Very highly recommended. Wonderful experience. Delicious food. Friendly staff!

Amazing trip and experience
Superb sea trip with a beautiful atmosphere and a splendid view

The yoga lesson with a view of the ocean was amazing.
By stretching my body in nature, I was able to learn more about my own body.
The instructor was also very good at teaching, and it was a great experience.

I participated in a tour during my trip to Hawaii, and they provided a yoga mat, so I could join hands-free.
I would love to do it again when I visit Hawaii next time.

海を見ながらのヨガレッスン最高でした。
自然の中で体を伸ばすことで、普段の自分の体を知ることができました。
先生も教え方のよく、良い体験ができました。

旅行で行ってハワイに行きツアー参加でしたが、ヨガマットも用意いただいて手ぶらで参加することができました。
また、ハワイに訪れたときはやってみたいです。

I attended with my 7-year-old child. I was prepared for basic English, but thanks to Shoot's consideration, the magic show included some Japanese, allowing both my child and wife to understand and enjoy it very much. It was a type of magic that you don't often see in Japan, and it helped me rediscover its fun! If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

7歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
基本英語を覚悟してましたが、shootさんの心遣いで日本語も交えたマジックショーで子供も奥さんも理解しながら大変楽しく参加させて頂きました。
日本ではなかなか見ないマジックでしたが、改めてその楽しさを再発見させてもらいました！
また機会があれば是非参加させてもらいます。

Food and service were great! Watching the sunset out on the water was amazing. Easy Uber ride to/from our hotel in Waikiki. Would definitely recommend and do again!

We had no trouble even with our limited English skills. We rented an umbrella as an option, but it was difficult to set up due to the strong wind. When we rented on-site, the staff helped us set it up properly. The water at Hanauma Bay was definitely clearer and more beautiful than in Waikiki. Our child was very happy to see many different types of fish.

英語力のない私達でも不自由はありませんでした。オプションでパラソルを借りましたが、風が強く設置が大変でした。現地で借りるとスタッフがしっかりと設置してくれていました。ハナウマの海はワイキキより断然透明で美しかったです。子供はたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ、とても喜んでいました。

This was my first time attending after several trips to Hawaii. At first, I thought it might not be that great, so I joined with mixed expectations, but the food was decent, and after the meal, there was singing and hula right there! Then we moved to the theater, and a full-fledged show began, featuring a collaboration of hula and rock! There was a tribute to Elvis and Michael (impersonation) in the hula performance. Although it wasn't full, everyone was really into it. It ended with the music from Hawaii 5-0! The approximately four hours flew by. I thought the price was cheap considering it included a buffet-style meal and a show. Some luaus in a certain H Village charge several hundred dollars just for the meal and hula, and the time is about half... I hope this is helpful for those considering it.

ハワイ旅行数回目で初めて行きました。
最初は大したことないのでは？と期待半分で参加しましたが、食事もまあまあだったし、食事が終わると歌とフラをその場で！
そのあと会場をシアターに移り、本格的なショーが始まり、フラとロックの共演！フラからプレスリーとマイケル（ものまね）ショー。満員ではなかったがみんなノリノリでした。
最後はHawaii5-0の音楽で終了!!時間にして約4時間があっという間の感じでした。
食事（ブッフェスタイル）が付いてショーが付いてこの値段は安いと思った。
某Hビレッジ内のルアウも食事とフラだけで数百ドル！時間も半分ぐらいだし・・・
検討されている方がいれば参考になればと思います。

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.

Wouldn't recommend.

The whole night was fun and a memorable experience. The food was good, entertainment was excellent and staff very courteous and accommodating.
We would highly recommend this Sunset Dinner Cruise on a Friday night to see the fireworks.

I was thrilled to see sea turtles. It's a rare experience, and if you go to Hawaii, it's definitely something you should do. I was satisfied with the many photos and videos I was able to take.

ウミガメが見れて感激。
なかなか出来ない体験でハワイへ行ったらぜひ行って欲しい体験です。
沢山写真に動画も撮れて満足でした。

We booked the private charter sunset cruise for our post wedding celebration. Even though it was windy and the boat was bumpy, the crew made sure all the guests were well taken care of! Highly recommend it!

Awsome experience with experienced guides.
Swam close to turtles en enjoyed sailing up and down the bay while sipping champagne.

I’ve always wanted to go to a luau and this didn’t disappoint!! I enjoyed the food, the entertainment while we ate and the desert! My friend and I also got some hula lessons!! A huge highlight for me, I’ve always wanted to try hula dancing. After dinner we got to see the show, with performances from the 1940s up to the present! I especially liked the fire dancing. My friend and and I enjoyed this experience and I would say it was worth it! So if you’re like to have a luau experience with a rocking show, I would recommend trying this.

Highlight was the Polynesian show. Food was ok, deserts were good. Complimentary drinks were average. Purchased drinks were pricey. Overall, did not get to see much of a sunset by being busy with the food and the show. It felt more like sitting in a restaurant since the boat was moving slow and sturdy unless you come out to grab the food.

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Fireworks lasted for a decent amount of time. Boat ride was very bumpy, but it was also my first time on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect, also sat at the front of the boat, which probably didn't help.

Since I was staying at Hilton, the meeting place was close, making it easy to participate.

The breeze felt special on the boat, it was pleasant, and the scenery was amazing! I was very satisfied to encounter a honu (sea turtle).

ヒルトンに宿泊していたので、集合場所も近くて、気軽に参加できました。

船で感じる風は特別で、気持ちよく、景色も最高！
ホヌにも出会えて、大満足でした。

I didn't expect to line up for tickets on the day instead of making a reservation online. However, since I was able to go as planned, I am mostly satisfied.

Considering the timing, it was just right to have an 11 AM pickup with my 6 and 9-year-old children. The person in charge provided various explanations and guidance throughout the car ride. Other Japanese guests were using translation apps, but since I didn't use one, I only understood parts of the conversation. I wish I had downloaded the app. My children had a very enjoyable time and it seems to have left a lasting impression on them. They said they want to go see the fish again.

ネット予約でチケットとっているのではなく当日チケットに並ぶとは思っていませんでした。が予定通りに行けたのでほぼ満足です。
時間的には6歳9歳の子供がいたので11時ピックアップでちょうどよかったと思います。担当の方も車中ずーと色々と説明、案内してくださっていました。他の日本人は翻訳アプリで聞いていましたが、翻訳アプリ使用しなかったので所々しかわからず。アプリを入れておけば良かったと思いました。子供たちにはとても楽しい時間になり印象に残ったようです。またお魚見に行きたいと行っています。
