All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

First of all, I want to point out that all explanations from the reception until the end were in English. There was no broken Japanese, so those who can't speak English have to tough it out... (laughs) However, they conveyed the important parts through gestures, so I was able to understand somewhat.

Whether it was the location or just luck, we were able to see a lot of sea turtles. I left my smartphone on the boat, so I couldn't take any pictures, but having a water-resistant camera would be even better.

After snorkeling, we went sailing, and the sailing time was longer than I expected (laughs). Many people ended up feeling seasick, so motion sickness medication is a must.

That said, it was a course where we could enjoy beautiful fish, sea turtles, and the atmosphere of Hawaii on the boat, and I had a great time!

まず初めに注意して頂きたいのが、受付から解散までずっと英語での説明です。カタコト日本語とかも無いので英語ができない人は気合いで乗り切るしかありません…(笑)ただ重要な部分はジェスチャーで伝えてくれたのでなんとなくは理解することが出来ました。日本人参加者は私たち以外にいなかったので、他の参加者の方に聞くこともできませんでした…。

場所が良かったのか、運が良かったのか、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。スマホは船上に置いてきてしまったので撮影はできなかったのですが、水濡れOKのカメラがあるとなおいいかもしれません。

シュノーケリングが終わったあとはセーリングなのですが、セーリングの時間が思った以上に長いです(笑)船酔いしてしまう人が続出だったので、酔い止めは必須です。

とはいえ、綺麗な魚もウミガメも船上でハワイの風などの雰囲気も楽しめるコースとなっており、とても満喫出来ました！

Since the last time I went to Hawaii, I had been wanting to try yoga, and this time I participated. It was a really wonderful place with a view of the ocean, and Teacher Tomoko welcomed us with a smile. I was a bit anxious since I had almost no experience with yoga, but Teacher Tomoko talked to me, and my nerves disappeared! Local participants also joined, and the lesson was conducted in both English and Japanese. I felt so happy being able to breathe in the fresh air and move my body while looking at the beautiful ocean and sky. I definitely want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii. Thank you!

前回ハワイへ行った時からヨガをやってみたいと思っていて、今回参加しました。
海が見えるとても素敵な場所でトモコ先生が笑顔で迎えてくださいました。ヨガの経験はほとんどなかったので不安だったのですが、トモコ先生から話しかけてくださり、緊張が飛んでいきました！
現地の方も参加されていて、英語と日本語両方で説明しながらレッスンしてくださいました。綺麗な海と空を見ながら空気を吸ったり、身体を動かすことができて、すごく幸せでした。
次ハワイに行く時もぜひ参加したいと思っています。ありがとうございました！

I participated with a friend during my trip.
The location was Kapiolani Beach Park, and the beach spread out right in front of us, making it very open and inviting.
There were also a few locals participating.
The instructor provided lectures in both English and Japanese, which made it easy to understand.
My body, which had been tense during my stay, felt much better.
During the final shavasana, when I closed my eyes, I could hear the gentle waves and the chirping of small birds, which was very pleasant and relaxing. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

旅行中に友人と参加しました。
場所はカピオラニビーチパーク
目の前にビーチが広がりとても開放的でした。
地元の方も数名参加されていました。
先生は英語と日本語を交えてレクチャーしてくれるので分かりやすかったです。
滞在中に凝り固まっていた身体が楽になりました。
最後のシャバーサナでは目を閉じるとさざ波や小鳥のさえずりが聞こえてきてとても心地よくリラックスできました。また機会があったら参加したいです。

Everyone else was either American or Canadian, and we were completely away from it all. Everyone was incredibly cheerful, drinking and having a great time. The yacht didn’t sway at all, and we cruised through Maalaea Bay under clear skies. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the ocean was wonderful, making for a happy two hours. This was the best part of the trip. I didn’t get seasick and felt absolutely refreshed. I will definitely ride again the next time I go to Waikiki.

我々以外はアメリカ人もしくはカナダ人で、完全にAwayでした。
皆さんすこぶる陽気で、お酒を飲んでめちゃめちゃ盛り上がっていました。
ヨットはまったく揺れず、快晴の中マララ湾を進んでいきました。
沖から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色は素晴らしく、幸せな2時間でした。今回の旅行で一番良かったです。船酔いもせず、最高に気分爽快でした。次にワイキキに行ったときも必ず乗ります。

Went in November and it was a very small trip. The guides and captain were great, the equipment was well maintained, and the boat was comfortable.

We used this for our honeymoon. After arriving at the venue, we were served the famous Hawaiian cocktail, Mai Tai, which really got us excited. We shared a table with another Japanese couple, so we were able to enjoy pleasant conversations while waiting for the buffet. The outdoor buffet was comfortable and had a rich variety of options. During the meal, there were performances of hula dancing and ukulele music, which were truly enjoyable!

After the meal, we moved to the venue for Rock-a-Hula. There were diverse performances including traditional Hawaiian dance, rock, and fire dancing, which were interesting. We really felt the essence of Hawaii! The venue was a bit chilly, so I was glad I brought a jacket. Finally, we took a photo with a Michael look-alike, which became a wonderful memory!

新婚旅行で利用しました。会場に到着後、ハワイの名物カクテルのマイタイが出てきてテンションが上がりました。別の日本人夫婦の方と同じテーブルだったので、ビュッフェまでの待ち時間は楽しく会話して過ごすことができました。屋外でのビュッフェで心地よく、品揃えも豊富でした。食事中もフラダンスやウクレレの演奏があり、本当に楽しかったです！
食事の後にロック・アフラの会場へ移動しました。ハワイの伝統的なダンスとロック、ファイヤーダンスなど多様な演出があり面白かったです。ハワイを感じることができました！会場は少し寒かったので、上着を持参して良かったです。最後にマイケルのそっくりさんと写真を撮ってもらい素敵な思い出になりました！

There is nothing in particular. But it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun. There is nothing in particular, but it was fun.

We had a sunset cruising experience for our family of four, and we were blessed with great weather, allowing us to have the best time. The food was delicious, and after enjoying the beautiful sunset, we watched the fireworks from Hilton Village, accompanied by live jazz music. Everything was perfect. We truly made wonderful memories.

親子4人のサンセットクルージング、天気にも恵まれて、最高の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。料理も美味しく、美味しいサンセットを見た後は、ヒルトンヴィレッジから上がる花火、そして生演奏のJAZZ、すべて完璧でした。本当に良い想い出が出来ました。

The weather was nice on the day of the trip, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The English guide was very kind, but if you can't speak English, you won't know the meeting place and time for the return. It would be very helpful if you could provide guidance in Japanese using a whiteboard or notes.

当日はお天気も良くて、海が綺麗で魚めたくさん見られました。英語ガイドさんはとても親切でしたが、英語が話せないと帰りの待ち合わせ場所や時間が分かりません。
ホワイトボードやメモなど日本語で案内してもらえるととっても助かります。

We participated as a couple during our trip. The weather was perfect, and we had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful sea and sky while listening to the sound of the waves, the wind, and the chirping of birds. Although there was some construction noise from the nearby café during the experience, it didn't bother us much while doing yoga.

Having a Japanese instructor provided a sense of security, and about half of the participants were locals, which allowed us to fully enjoy the local atmosphere. I highly recommend it! After the session, you can jump straight into the sea, so it might be a good idea to wear a swimsuit!

旅行中、夫婦で参加しました。最高の天気で、きれいな海や空を見ながら、波や風の音、鳥のさえずりを聞きながら、とても気持ちの良い時間を過ごせました。体験時は隣のカフェが工事中で作業音がしていましたが、ヨガしているとそんなこともあまり気にならなかったです。
日本語インストラクターさんで安心感ありつつ、受講者は半分くらいローカルの方で、現地の雰囲気を満喫でき、とてもオススメです。
終わったあとそのまま海に飛び込むことも出来るので、水着を着て行くといいかもしれません！

On this sailing trip, you can see breathtaking views that are unlike anything you've seen before, almost like a movie set, from the boat!

The view of Waikiki Beach from the sea is exceptional, and watching the sun set over Waikiki and Diamond Head is simply wonderful.

The beautiful scenery of the sun gradually sinking into the ocean will undoubtedly become one of your unforgettable memories in Hawaii.

Happy sailing!

このセーリングでは　他で見たこともない雄大でまるで映画のセットのような美しい光景をボートから見ることができます!

海から見るワイキキビーチも格別で　夕日に沈むワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。

海の中に太陽が徐々に沈んでいく美しい景色は　ハワイでの忘れられない思い出の一つになることは間違いないです。

ハッピー　セーリング〜

Check in was easy, food was so good, employees were very helpful, loved the dancing while eating, free mai tai and the rock show was AWESOME!! Elvis was great, MJ was cool and Chardonnay was the best hostess. If I ever come back to Hawaii, I would definitely go to the show again.

The atmosphere was really lovely during the dinner surrounded by strangers! A stylish drink was included, and we could choose whether it had alcohol or not. However, there weren't many dishes that I found delicious, perhaps because they didn't suit Japanese tastes. The meat was incredibly tasty, so I ended up eating a lot of that. The show was impressive, and there were familiar songs, which made it very enjoyable. Both the food and the show really captured the Hawaiian vibe, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the atmosphere of Hawaii.

知らない人と席を囲んでの会食で雰囲気もとても素敵でした！
オシャレなワンドリンクも付いてきました。アルコール入りかなしか選べました。
でも、あまり日本人の口に合わないのか、美味しいと思える料理は少なかったです。お肉はすごく美味しかったのでそればっかり食べてました。
ショーは迫力があり、馴染みの曲もあったりしてとても楽しめました。
食事もショーもハワイの雰囲気をとても感じれたので、ハワイの雰囲気を楽しみたい人におすすめです。

Professional , courteous clean and food was great experience of a life time. really really good. Entertainment and everything above and beyond approach.

I went for a morning jog along the beach from my hotel in Waikiki to Kapiolani Park. I enjoyed group yoga with locals and Japanese participants from the tour.

In front of me was the sparkling blue ocean, and when I lay on my back, I could see the blue sky and the green trees swaying in the gentle breeze. The location was simply amazing, and it made my heart soar.

With my eyes closed, I was able to relax and do yoga while feeling the sounds of the waves and the wind. It was a truly wonderful experience, and I'm so glad I participated.

ワイキキのホテルからビーチ沿いを朝ジョギングしてカピオラニ公園へ。
現地の方やツアーで参加した日本人と一緒にグループヨガを楽しみました。

目の前にはキラキラ輝く青い海、仰向けすれば青い空とそよ風に揺れる緑の木、
あまりに最高のロケーションに心が躍りました。

目をつぶって波の音、風の音を感じながら
リラックスしてヨガをすることができ、
参加して本当に良かったと思える時間でした。

The food was delicious, and the level of crowding was not too much, which was great. The show was enjoyable for the whole family, with the men's powerful performances and the women's captivating dances.

料理も美味しく、混雑度合いもそこまでで良かったです。
ショーは男性の迫力と女性の魅力的な踊りで家族みんなが楽しめました。

I love the ocean in Hawaii, but since I'm with my elderly parents, I won't be swimming during our stay. I wanted to experience the feeling of being in a resort, so I participated in this activity. It's refreshing to see Waikiki from the sea, which I usually walk through. Since I participated on the day of arrival, spending a leisurely time on the boat felt like a luxurious experience. Although Japanese is not spoken, it was a time where communication wasn't necessary, so there were no inconveniences.

ハワイの海は好きですが、高齢の親と一緒なので滞在中は泳ぎません。
せっかくリゾート地に来た感覚を味わいたくて参加しました。
いつも歩いているワイキキを海から見られるのは新鮮な感じです。
到着日に参加ということもあり、
船でのんびりとゆったりと過ごせるのは贅沢な時間です。
日本語は通じませんが、特に会話しなくても問題ない時間でしたので、不都合も無かったっです。

First, regarding the dinner buffet, the dining area is on the open terrace where the night breeze is pleasant. When you sit at the table, fresh dendrobium orchids are provided for hair accessories, and while enjoying a Hawaiian drink, you feel happy. You can enjoy various dishes, starting with traditional Hawaiian cuisine. While dining, hula dancers occasionally perform right near your table, adding to the fun! Of course, there are plenty of desserts like fruits, cakes, and ice cream, leaving you completely satisfied!

Next, we moved to the theater to watch the Rock-a-Hula show. The stage and seats are very close, and with live band performances, the lighting and visual effects enhance the hula dance, Elvis, and Michael Jackson performances, as well as songs by Hawaiian singers, all of which are incredibly powerful! At the end, we were able to take photos with the performers, and everyone was very courteous, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

まずはディナービュッフェについて、食べるところはオープンテラスで夜風が心地よく、テーブルにつくと、髪飾り用に生のデンファレの花が用意されておりハワイの飲み物を飲みながら気分はハッピー
食事もハワイの伝統料理をはじめ色々な料理を食べることができます食事をしているとフラダンサーの方が席の間近でダンスを時折披露してくださり楽しめます‼︎もちろんフルーツやケーキ、アイスなどデザートもたっぷりでお腹いっぱいになり大満足でした‼︎
つづいてロックアフラのショーを見る為にシアターに移動、こちらも舞台と席がとても近く、生バンドによる演奏、光や映像の演出が相まってフラダンスやエルビス、マイケルジャクソンのパフォーマンス、またハワイの歌手の方の歌が迫力満点です‼︎
最後には、出演者の方と写真撮影ができ、どの方のとても丁寧に対応してくださり最高の思い出となりました✨

The meal is a buffet, but please note that the start time is late, and there is limited time to eat. Basically, you can only go up to get food once.

During the meal, there is a small dance show, so you can really enjoy it. Additionally, a ukulele player goes around performing for each group.

Up to this point, video recording is allowed. The main show moves to the hall. Once it starts, taking photos is fine, but video recording is not allowed. There are shows not only featuring hula but also Elvis and Michael, and the atmosphere and excitement were fantastic!

All explanations are in English, so knowing English might enhance your experience. After the show, the performers greet guests outside, so you can shake hands and take photos together.

It’s guaranteed to be a wonderful night!

食事はバイキングですが、食事の始まりが遅く、食べる時間が少ないので注意してください。基本的に取りに行けるのは一回のみです。
食事中にも小さなダンスショーがあるのでしっかり楽しめます。また、ウクレレ奏者の方がひとグループごとに演奏して回っていました。
ここまでは動画撮影OKです。
本番のショーはホールへ移動します。始まりましたら写真撮影は大丈夫ですが、動画撮影はNGです。フラだけでなく、エルビスやマイケルのショーもあり、雰囲気や盛り上がりが最高でした！
説明等は全て英語なので、英語ができた方がもっと楽しめるかもしれません。
終わった後は出演者が外で見送りをしているので、握手したり一緒に写真を撮ることも可能です。
最高の夜になること間違いなしです。

We started with a buffet outdoors, and the weather was nice, making it very pleasant. The food was Hawaiian cuisine, which created great memories. During dinner, there was a light show and hula lessons, making the meal enjoyable!

The performance exceeded my expectations in quality. The singer on stage had impressive vocal skills, and the dancers were also very skilled, so I was glad to see a lot of hula dancing.

After the performance, we were able to take photos, making it a very memorable experience!

野外でビュッフェを食べることから始まり、天気も良くとても気持ちよかったです。ご飯もハワイアン料理を味わえていい思い出になりました。夕食中は軽いショーもあったりフラレッスンもあって楽しくお食事ができました！
公演は思った以上のクオリティで楽しめました。舞台に立たれていた歌手はさすがの歌唱力でダンサーの方もすごく上手でフラダンスもたくさん見れたのでよかったです。
公演後は写真撮影もできたりして、とても思い出深い体験ができました！

We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!

家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます！

The waves were high enough for surfing, and the water was murky, so I couldn't see a single fish. It was cold due to the strong wind, making it tough to stay on the beach.

I spent about 13,000 yen on the tour and entrance fee to go snorkeling, so I wish they would allow cancellations or not operate on days with such poor conditions. I was really disappointed.

サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。
ツアー代と入場料で約13000円かけてシュノーケルしに行っているので、海がこんなコンディションの日は催行しないかキャンセルを選択できるようにしてほしいです。本当にガッカリでした。

Overall, the sunset, the ocean, and the scenery of Waikiki were all amazing! Since it was an all-you-can-drink option, I enjoyed as much beer and wine as I wanted, which really lifted my spirits. I drank a lot of wine. There wasn't any information in Japanese, but maybe that was a good thing. It depends on the weather, but if it's nice, I think you'll create wonderful memories.

とにかく、夕陽、海、夕映のワイキキの街並み、
全てが最高でした‼️
飲み放題だったので、ビールやワインを好きなだけいただけ、気分も上がります。いっぱいワイン飲みました
日本語の案内はないですが、かえってそこが良かったかな。
お天気にもよるとは思いますが、もし良い天気なら最高の思い出ができると思います。

The sunset was wonderful. There was some wind, so a long-sleeve shirt was necessary on the way back, but the night view was beautiful, and it felt like a great deal. I definitely want to use this again.

サンセットが素晴らしかった。
風があり帰りは長袖は必要でしたが、夜景も綺麗で、お得感があります。
また必ず利用したいです。

Captain and crew made this trip very enjoyable. The ship was top notch and fun to sail on.
Swimming with the turtles was a blast and the sailing around Waikiki afterwards made for a super fun trip. Definitely will be back!

Everything was amazing from the time we checked in until the cruise came to an end. Drinks were good, music was on point and the crew was amazing. Exceeded all expectations.

I chose a plan without meals, but those who had meals seemed to be enjoying themselves with activities like hula lessons. You can order drinks just before taking your seat, but payment is only accepted by card, and Amex cannot be used, so be careful. The show itself mainly features slightly older songs by artists like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but even if you don't know the songs, I felt it was professional entertainment that could still get the crowd excited. Local singers also participate, performing cover songs as well as their own hits. They even perform songs from Disney's Moana. Perhaps because it was a weekday, only the VIP seats were filled, while the other areas were sparse. I think a bit more creativity is needed to make me want to see it two or three times.

食事なしのプランにしたが、食事のある人はフラのレッスンなどのおもてなしがあって、それなりに楽しそうにしていた。ドリンクは席につく手前で注文できるがカード決済のみで、なおかつAmexが使えないので注意。ショー自体はプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンなど少し古めの曲が中心だが、知らなくてもそれなりに盛り上げてくれるプロフェッショナルのエンタメだと感じた。地元の歌手も参加し、カバー曲に加えて持ち歌も披露してくれる。ディズニーのモアナの曲もやってくれる。平日だったためかVIP席のみが埋まっており、それ以外の店はまばら。2回3回と見たいと思うにはもう少し工夫がいるのではと思った。

During our honeymoon in Hawaii, we made a reservation because we wanted to see a hula dance. The food was served buffet style with a wide variety, and we were very satisfied. The beef, in particular, was delicious. The menu was also written in Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Additionally, we enjoyed listening to live ukulele performances and watching dances while having our meal.

After dinner, the show featured hula dancing, singing, and fire dancing, which was a lot of fun. It became one of our best memories of Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行で訪れたハワイで、フラダンスを見たかったので予約しました。
ご飯はブュッフェスタイルで品数も多く大満足でした。特に牛肉が美味しかったです。メニューに日本語も書いてあり分かりやすかったです。また、生のウクレレ演奏を聴いたり、ダンスを見ながら食事を楽しめました。
食事の後のショーではフラダンスや歌、ファイヤーダンスなどを見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ハワイの最高の思い出になりました！ぜひおすすめします。

I participated in this activity because I wanted to see authentic hula.

First, it was buffet time. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was fresh and a refreshing drink with a hint of alcohol. It was easy to drink and delicious.

The buffet was average, nothing special. During the meal, hula dancers came to our table and performed beautiful dances multiple times. It was moving!

Finally, it was time for "Rock-a-Hula." They introduced the history of music in Hawaii in chronological order. It was a fun and vibrant show. Wonderful!

In the second half, we had the much-anticipated Elvis and Michael. The quality met my expectations. It felt like a good job!

The greeting time for commemorative photos was also lovely. I managed to get a two-shot with both of them.

It was a very satisfying time.

本場のフラを観たくて、このアクティビティに参加しました。
まずはブッフェの時間。
ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイはフレッシュで少しアルコールの効いた爽やかドリンクでした。飲みやすくて美味しい。
ブッフェは、可もなく不可もなく。普通かなぁ。
食事中にテーブルの側までフラダンサーが来てくれて、素敵な踊りを何度も披露してくれました。感激〜！
いよいよ、「ロック・ア・フラ」の時間。
ハワイでの音楽の歴史を、年代順に紹介して下さいます。
楽しく華やかなショーです。素晴らしい！
後半は、お待ちかねのエルビスとマイケル。
期待にそぐわぬ完成度。Good Job！って感じ。
記念撮影のグリーティングタイムも素敵。
ちゃっかりと、お二人とのツーショットもゲットしましたよ。
大満足のひと時でした。

I'll keep this short and to the point. It really wasn't what most would consider a Luau. You're in a tiki-like environment in a mall for the meal and then you go to an inside theater for the show. The show is more of a Vegas-like show primarily consisting of an Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonator. The show was honestly pretty good, but just wasn't what was expected at a Luau.

On a good note, the food was decent and the performers were pretty good. If you just want a reasonably priced meal and a show then this is for you. If you're looking for a more traditional Hawaiian Luau then look somewhere else.
