All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

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。

- We participated as a family of four: two adults and two children (ages 9 and 6).
- It's better to have at least a basic level of English conversation skills.
- We had the same driver for both trips. We gave a tip after getting off on the return trip.
- It was a bit chilly when we got to the beach, possibly due to the slightly bad weather. The children were shivering.
- Although we saw many fish in the shallow waters just a few meters from the beach, it wasn't very impressive.

・家族4人で参加。大人2、子供2(9歳,6歳)。
・日常会話程度の英語力はあった方がいい。
・往復同じドライバーさんだった。チップは復路の降車後に渡した。
・少し天気が悪かったせいか、浜に上がると少し寒かった。子供は震えていた。
・浜から数メートルの浅瀬にしては多くの魚が見れたが、感動はなかった。

We had the most amazing night doing the luau and show. The hospitality was so beautiful, it was the best activity we did in waikiki. We travelled from New Zealand and appreciated how they sang us a maori song. The show was outstanding, we could not fault one thing. Thank you for the amazing time and showing us your beautiful culture.

Me and 3 friends came here and were blown away. The food was absolutely stunning and the entertainment was unreal. We travelled from New Zealand and were serenaded with a special maori (native language of NZ) song. The hospitality was just beautiful and the show was super fun!! Would recommend this over any other ones.

This tour is a lot of fun as you can really feel like you're abroad, with all the other guests being foreigners. On the day of the tour, we were told it would be the best day ever, and when we arrived, we saw 5 to 6 turtles sleeping on the ocean floor, which was a sight I had never seen before. Of course, there were also many turtles swimming around, and during snorkeling, it was filled with turtles. I was surprised to see so many turtles in Waikiki.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed a cruise while listening to famous international songs, taking in views of Waikiki hotels and Diamond Head. We raised the sails and sped up, enjoying a leisurely time with a pleasant breeze.

Don't forget to bring tips!

私たち以外全て外国人のお客様なので、海外にいることを感じられ、とても楽しめるツアーです。当日、今日は最高の一日になる、との説明があり、期待して行くと、カメが海底でくっついて5～6匹寝ており、こんな光景は初めてでした。勿論、泳いでいるカメも何匹もいて、シュノーケル最中はカメだらけでした。こんなにもワイキキにカメがいるとは驚きでした。
シュノーケル後は、海外の有名な曲を聴きながら、ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング。帆を上げてスピードアップをしながら、心地よい風と共にゆっくり過ごしました。
チップを忘れないで持っていって下さい。

Last year, I learned that there was a luau show at the Royal Hawaiian, and I participated for the first time. I was happy to hear my parents, who have seen various luau shows, say that it was great. I definitely want to repeat this experience when I stay in Waikiki. This time, we entered in time for dinner, but I am also interested in events that teach about Hawaiian culture. Unfortunately, the host of the show speaks in English, so I think there might be parts that are lacking for Japanese guests. I would appreciate any improvement suggestions from Beltora.

昨年、ロイヤルハワイアンでルアウショーをやっている事を知って、初めて参加してきました。
色々なルアウショーを見た両親も良かったと言ってくれて嬉しい旅になりました。
ぜひ、ワイキキに泊まった時にはリピートしたいと思います。
今回は食事が始まる時間に合わせて入場しましたが、ハワイ文化を知るイベントにも興味があります。
残念ながら、ショーの司会の方は英語でお話しされるので、日本人には物足らない部分も
あると思います。
ぜひ、ベルトラ様から改善提案よろしくお願いします。

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but there was a wide variety of drinks, and I enjoyed the humorous announcements as well.

あいにくお天気よくなかったんですが、ドリンクも豊富でしたし、ユーモアたっぷりなアナウンスも楽しみました。

The hula was vibrant, and the final fire dance was spectacular. The meal was served in a container like a bento box, which made the atmosphere a bit confusing, so I give it four stars.

フラは華やかで、最後のファイアーダンスは圧巻でした。
食事はお弁当のような入れ物で前菜が運ばれてきて、雰囲気が？となったので星４つで。

There were other ships participating, but this was my first time. I got the impression that it was a solid company, as I checked in at the counter of the cruise company located in the hotel and went over the liability waiver. The sunset finally began on the return trip, offering a different impression from the outbound journey. They mentioned unlimited drinks, but I didn't particularly like the taste of the free drinks and couldn't finish one. Beer and champagne are available for an additional charge. Occasionally, there were large waves, so the ship had its unique rocking motion. I saw someone who couldn't move due to seasickness, so I think it's better for those who are really sensitive to have motion sickness medication. In any case, I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a luxurious 90 minutes of doing nothing.

他の船での参加はありましたたが、こちらは初めて。ホテル内にある船会社のカウンターでチェックインを受け免責についてチェックをするなどしっかりした会社という印象。サンセットは復路からようやく始まり、往路とはまた違った印象が味わえます。飲み放題とのことですが、無料のドリンクの味はあまり好みではなく１杯飲みきれず、ビールやシャンパンは別料金です。時々大きな波がくるため船独特の揺れはあります。船酔いで動けなくなった方がいたので本当に弱い方は酔い止めがあったほうが良いと思います。とにかく９０分、何もしない贅沢な時間を味わいたい方におすすめです。

I returned home on a flight tomorrow afternoon, and I went there the night before. The location might be hard to understand just by reading about it, but there are clear video explanations on Instagram and other platforms, so checking in advance should help you navigate smoothly.

The food had a good balance of flavor and portion size (it's a buffet, so it's up to you). I mentioned that I have allergies regarding the welcome drink, and they kindly exchanged the Mai Tai for another soft drink.

The show likely resonates differently depending on your generation and preferences, so there might be moments that appeal to me and others that appeal to you. However, I enjoyed the entire show while maintaining the initial momentum.

Here are two pieces of advice for those who will be going:
(1) Check in a bit early. We arrived around 5:10 PM, and there were already quite a few guests seated. It gets crowded close to the deadline, and joining the buffet after the time has passed can feel like you're missing out.
(2) Use the restroom before the meal time ends. The transition to the theater happens suddenly and orderly, and once seated, it’s difficult to leave (this is generally true overseas, so it’s best to go when you can rather than thinking you’ll go later).

明日はお昼の飛行機で帰国、という夜に行ってきました。
場所は文章で読むと分かりにくいですが、Instagramなどでも分かりやすく動画説明されていていますので事前チェックしておけば迷わずスムーズかと思います。
食事は程よい味と量(ビュッフェなのでご本人次第)。ウェルカムドリンクはアレルギーがあるのでとお願いしたらマイタイから別のソフトドリンクに交換していただけました。
ショーはおそらく世代や趣向によって刺さるツボが違うので、ある場面では私が、別の場面ではあなたが、というノリになるかと思いますが、最初の勢いを維持したままショー全体が進行し楽しめました。
これからいかれる方へのアドバイスとして2点。
(1)少し早めにチェックインする。我が家は17:10頃に行きましたが既に先客がそれなりに着席されていました。締切間際は混むのと、時間すぎてからビュッフェに参加するのは出遅れ感出てせっかくなのに残念です。
(2)お手洗いは食事の時間が終わる少し前までに済ませておく。
シアターへは突然かつ整然と移動することになり、着席後は離席もしにくいです(海外全般の話になるかと思いますが、後で行こうとは思わずに行ける時に行く、というのが基本)。

I participated in a plan that included a luau. As soon as I arrived, I received a lei and a Mai Tai, and enjoyed a delicious buffet while watching hula dancing. We then moved to the Royal Hawaiian Theater, which was just a short distance from the dinner venue, and enjoyed the show with a drink from the bar in hand. The show lasted a little over an hour and featured a perfect blend of Hawaiian music history and famous Western songs, keeping us entertained throughout. The cast had wonderful smiles, but I was particularly overwhelmed by the final fire knife dance. I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Hawaii.

ルアウ付きのプランで参加しました。
到着次第レイとマイタイをもらい、フラダンスを眺めながら美味しいビュッフェをいただきました。
夕食会場からすぐのロイヤルハワイアンシアターに移動して、バーで貰ったお酒を片手にショーを楽しみました。
1時間あまりのショーでしたが、ハワイ音楽の歴史と有名な洋楽とが丁度良い配分で披露され、飽きずに楽しめました。
キャストの皆さん笑顔が素敵でしたが、特に最後のファイアーナイフダンスに圧倒されました。
ハワイに訪れた際は是非足を運ぶことをオススメします。

Show the app at the reception, sign the documents, and board barefoot. The Diamond Head is first visible on the right side from the stairs, and later on the left side. We saw humpback whales and sea turtles. The wind was strong, and my hat flew away. It was about a one and a half hour cruise.

受付でアプリを見せて書類にサインをして、裸足で乗船。階段から右側が最初にダイヤモンドヘッドが見え、左側が後からダイヤモンドヘッド側になります。
座頭鯨と海亀が見えました。
風が強く帽子は飛ばされます。
1時間半ぐらいのクルーズでした。

We did not have the dinner. We only purchased show tickets. The show was enjoyable. A mix of Hawaiian tradition with some rock and roll.

Always a great time. We’ve been twice with them. And they are just nice people

I'm glad I was able to enjoy food that can only be experienced in Hawaii. However, even though the meeting time was at 5:30 PM, we didn't start eating until around 6:15 to 6:30 PM, which was quite a wait. The food is delicious, so I recommend it for those who are patient.

It was great that the waiter communicated with us in Japanese.

The show was very entertaining, and we had good seats. The venue was cold, so it's better to bring a jacket. It was a great experience to see hula dancing from various generations. The performances, including those mimicking Elvis and Michael Jackson, got the audience excited, but for kids and younger generations like us, it wasn't very familiar, so we couldn't tell how similar they were. The kids were fast asleep. But it was really cool. I highly recommend it for people of that generation!

ハワイでしか体験できないご飯が食べられてよかったです。しかし、集合が17時30分なのに、ご飯を食べ始められたのは18時15〜30分ととても待ちました。ご飯はおいしいので気が長い方にはおすすめです。
ウェイトレスのお兄さんが日本語を交えながらコミュニケーションをとってくれてよかったです。

ショーはとても面白く、いい席で見せてもらえます。ショー会場は寒いので上着があった方がいいです。様々な年代のフラダンスを見れていい経験となりました。
レイビス？やマイケルジャクソンのモノマネで会場が盛り上がりますが、子供や若い世代の自分たちには馴染みが薄く似ているかはよくわからなかったです。子供は爆睡していました。でもとてもかっこよかったです。世代の人はとってもおすすめです！！

I usually don't take boats because I get seasick, but I've been coming to Hawaii for about 40 years. I've always watched the boats depart from the hotel, so I decided to challenge myself! I can hardly speak English, but I still felt really good about it. ⛵⛵⛵

酔うので船は乗ることがないのですが、HAWAIIに来始めて約40年。ホテルからいつも出港するのを見ていてせっかくなのでチャレンジ！私は殆ど英会話はできませんが、それでもとても気分が良かったです⛵⛵⛵

My parents and I had a great time. Loved that the performers were energetic. The food was great, especially the beef roast. Would go again and definitely recommend. Loved the ukelele performer, she sung a song for my parent's anniversary. It was a nice personal touch. Elvis and MJ impersonators were spot in and didn't try too hard. The fire performer was the cutest and was a nice surprise. I had the chance to learn a hula dance. Would recommend if you do not have a vip package to save your complimentary mai Tai to drink during dinner, lol I regretted not doing that. You do have the option to purchase more drinks though. I had virgin one and it was so tasty. The workers are polite and helpful. A great overall experience.

We had the best time with the Star of Honolulu. The captain was very welcoming, and the staff was first rate. Our restaurant wait person Tina, was very prompt in meeting our needs. She was friendly and efficient. The entertainment was excellent, and the food was tasty and plentiful. We sat next to a couple of other travelers and thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I would recommend this cruise to everyone!
