All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

Short snorkeling excursion, with gorgeous views of Waikiki. Friendly staff handled us well. Sea turtles, but not many colorful fish.

We participated as a couple in our fifties.
It was our first time surfing, and I was worried because the instructions were in English.
There were two instructors for our group of six.
They were very attentive and made sure that I, the least skilled among us, wasn't left behind by frequently checking on me.
I am truly grateful for that.
During the two-hour session, I was able to ride three times.
I’m happy to have had the experience of surfing in the waters of Hawaii.

As for the drone, it cost $75 for two people.
At the same time, there was a group of eight doing SUP, and they also requested the drone.
The drone filmed both surfing and SUP with one unit.
The data we received included footage and photos of the SUP participants as well.
(I believe it was all the data captured during that time.)
This means that our footage and photos were also shared with the SUP group, which honestly bothered me.

Additionally, since surfing and SUP were conducted in slightly different locations, I think there was inevitably less footage and photos of us.
I noticed that there were more images and videos from the SUP group since their data was included as well. (Of course, the number of participants plays a role in this.)

Surfing itself was a lot of fun, and I was sore not just the next day but from that very day, but it was truly enjoyable.
When you come to Hawaii, I think engaging in activities that are characteristic of Hawaii is a great idea!

アラフィフ夫婦で参加。
初めてのサーフィン、英語の説明ということもあり、心配でした。
6名に2名のインストラクターがついてくれました。
とても気にかけて下さり、6名の中で一番へたな私が置いていかれないように、よく声をかけてくださりました。
本当に感謝です。
2時間の間に３回乗れることができました。
ハワイの海でサーフィンの体験ができたことがうれしいです。

ドローンですが、2人で75ドルでした。
同じ時間にＳＵＰの方（8人1グループ）がおり、その方たちもドローンをお願いしていました。
ドローン1台でサーフィンとＳＵＰの両方を撮影していました。
いただいたデータは、ＳＵＰの方の映像・写真も入っていました。
（同じ時間に撮ったデータ全部だと思います）
ということは、私たちの映像・写真もＳＵＰの方たちのところに渡されているということΣ(ﾟдﾟlll)ｶﾞｰﾝ、正直それは嫌でした。

また、サーフィンとＳＵＰは行っている場所が少し違うので、どうしても映像・写真が少なかったと思います。
こちらにもＳＵＰのデータがきているので、そちらの映像・写真が多いのが気になりました。（もちろん人数の比もあると思います）

サーフィン自体はとても楽しく、翌日どころかその日から筋肉痛でしたが、とても楽しかったです。
せっかくハワイに来たときは、ハワイらしいアクティビティいいと思います！！

The Magical Mystery Show at the Hilton Waikiki Beach is seriously one of the best things to do in the evening in Waikiki! My friends and I had an absolute blast from start to finish. When we arrived, we were greeted with a delicious cocktail and escorted into the Museum of Curiosities. There, a talented magician entertained us with captivating stories about how King David Kalakaua brought the concept of "salon performance" to Hawaii from England. Once we discovered the secret password, we entered the main theater. Let me tell you, the room is cozy and beautifully decorated with vintage furniture and comfy chairs.
But here's the best part - the interaction with the performers was absolutely outstanding! It honestly felt like we were getting our own personal magic show. The close-up magic was incredibly engaging, and it was a hit with both the adults and the kids. We laughed so much and were completely impressed beyond words by the mind-blowing tricks! Every single part of the magic show was thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable. And let me just say, it was totally worth every penny! I can't recommend it enough!
Seriously, what a unique activity. It's perfect for a rainy day or any day, really. You're guaranteed plenty of laughs. Trust me, you won't regret it!

These guys have the operation perfected. I recommend. taking the very first shuttle in the morning and sacrificing a little sleep to do so. The payoff will be no one in the bay and everything to yourself for the first 30 to 40 minutes. Even after that, you will still have the crowds beat.

Even I, who am not good at sports, had a great time riding. The wind felt wonderful, it was the best! It was so much fun, and we had a blast as a family. There’s a Giovanni's in the food court near the Segway shop where we enjoyed garlic shrimp. The area is filled with murals, and we had an efficient and enjoyable half day. Next time, I want to join the morning session.

運動苦手な私も楽しく乗れました。
風が気持ちよく最高！
とにかく楽しくて親子で盛り上がりました。
セグウェイ店の近くのマート内フードコートにジョバンニがありガーリックシュリンプを堪能。周辺は壁画も多く、半日で効率良く楽しめました。次は朝の回に参加してみたいです。

After passing by the pool bar at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel, we arrived at the check-in area. After signing some documents, we boarded the boat right in front of the beach.

Once we set sail, we were immediately served Mai Tais and enjoyed cruising while taking in the night view. We watched fireworks in front of the Hilton Hotel! The view of the fireworks from the sea was fantastic as we could see the entire display!

After the fireworks, we cruised for a while, admiring the beautiful night view of the hotels. I went with my mother, who is in her 80s, and we had a great time without any rocking.

It was mid-July, but it was surprisingly chilly on the water during the fireworks, so having something to wrap around you would be nice. After the tour, we disembarked on the beach, so our feet were covered in sand, but there was no place to wash them off.

Since it was an English tour, we were the only Japanese people there. I can't speak English, but it was no problem at all, and we had a wonderful time!

シェラトンワイキキホテルのプールバー横を抜けると、チェックイン場所に到着。書類にサインした後、目の前の浜辺から上船します。
出航したら、すぐ、マイタイが配られ、夜景を楽しみながらクルージング。そして、ヒルトンホテル前で花火鑑賞！海から眺める花火は、全体が見えてとても素敵！
花火後は、華やかな夜景のホテル群を眺めながら、しばらくクルージング。
８０代の母と乗りましたが、揺れもなく楽しめました。
７月中旬でしたが、花火の時間帯の海上は意外と肌寒いので、羽織るものがあるといいですね。
ツアーが終わると浜辺に降りるので、足は砂だらけですが、洗う場所はありません。
英語ツアーだったせいか、日本人は私達だけ。英語はできないけど、全く問題なく、素敵な時間を過ごせました！

Everything about the food, the live performance, and the staff was perfect. It was the best. They made my night in Honolulu unforgettable, and I walked back to the hotel feeling great after a few drinks. If I get to return to Hawaii, I will definitely come back. Thank you, Beltora!

食事もライブもスタッフもすべて言うことなし
最高でした
ホノルルの夜を最高の一夜にしてもらって、ほろ酔いで最高の気分でホテルまで歩きました。
また、ハワイに帰れたら、必ずいきます
また、ベルトラさん、よろしくお願いします

Awesome crew! This was an amazing and fun experience for my family.

The Polynesian show is very impressive，all the staff on board are nice, because of the weather we didn’t saw the beautiful sunset, but we saw the rainbow. we did not like food, anyhow it is a nice journey !

First of all, we passed Hanauma Bay and stopped at the Lanai Lookout, which was an unexpected bonus that I wouldn't have ever seen, being on a work trip with a very brief window to go out on a Sunday. I'm very grateful to him for a joyful trip, the extra stop (thank you!!!!!), and the information he shared en route to Hanauma Bay, about where different creatures may be seen, areas of the bay, types of fish, and even local characters (yes, fish). One of the fish characters (I think a Humuhumu? but I could be wrong) was described as a chihuahua who will pester you if you cross paths, LOL! The bay is simply some of the most beautiful water and fish I've ever snorkeled in the company of. Just incredible. 11/10. Thank you for an amazing experience.

Awesome crew. Everyone had a great time snorkeling and sailing.

I was looking for a hula dance show and found this one! The buffet and drinks were delicious, and the content of the show was very enjoyable, so I was very satisfied. However, there were two disappointing points.

The first was that there was quite a bit of time between the meeting time and when the buffet started. We had a tight schedule before, so we rushed over, but I thought it would have been fine to take our time if we had known about this gap.

The second point was that the show tickets indicated that VIP seats were on the first floor and normal seats were on the second floor, but in reality, the VIP seats were up to the 3rd and 4th rows, and everything beyond that was normal. Given the significant price difference, I wondered if the quality of the seats was really that different.

Overall, I was satisfied, but I felt that I might not have needed a VIP ticket after all.

フラダンスショーを探していて、このショーを見つけました！
ブッフェとドリンクも美味しく、ショーの内容もとても楽しくて大満足でした。
ただ、残念だった点が2点あります。
一つ目は集合時間からブッフェが始まるまでに時間がかなりあったこと。私たちは前の予定がギリギリまであったので、急いで向かいましたが、この時間があるなら急がなくて良かったなと思いました。
二つ目は、ショーのチケットはVIPが1階席、ノーマルが2階席と書いてありましたが、実際は3.4列目までがVIP、それ以降がノーマルで、こんなに価格差があるのに、それほど席のよさは変わらないかも？と思いました。
全体としては満足ですが、VIPチケットでなくてもよかったなと思うところもありました。

Drinks were delicious, sun was shining and the views were great!

Waikiki Dive Center delivered an exceptional diving experience. Let me begin this review by stating that I was genuinely terrified to scuba dive before this experience. I had no prior certification or training classes under my belt. As a complete beginner, I received comprehensive instruction alongside fellow novices in basic skills on dry land before embarking on the boat to the dive site. Moreover, the dive center provided an ample selection of equipment for trial, including fins and wet-suits of varying sizes.

Once everyone confirmed the fit of their gear, we were transported via a clean and well-maintained bus to the boat that would ferry us to the diving site. The boat itself was well-stocked with water and snacks. Upon reaching the dive site by boat, divers were organized into groups based on skill level. Each group, consisting of 1-4 divers, was accompanied by a seasoned instructor. Novices such as myself were able to practice our skills at the ocean's surface while fully geared up.

My group's instructor, Nick, displayed remarkable patience and a genuine concern for the safety of each diver, effectively assuaging my nervousness. He consistently ensured that each diver was doing well through hand signals and emphasized the importance of equalizing pressure to prevent discomfort or injury. Furthermore, although not directly assigned to my group, instructors Abby, Chad, and Yoshi were tremendously helpful and displayed an unwavering commitment to safety. The rules and regulations were clearly explained multiple times, ensuring that everyone was well-informed.

Since the dive "package" we opted for included two oxygen tanks per person, I used the first dive/tank as a warm-up, which significantly enhanced the enjoyment of the second dive. Additionally, I was thrilled to bring my Go-Pro along for the second dive, capturing breathtaking pictures.

Overall, I thoroughly relished this experience and wholeheartedly recommend it, particularly to beginners.

During our honeymoon last year, I was interested in this show, and I participated during this trip. The buffet was filling, and I almost missed the desserts, so I rushed in and enjoyed them. There was also a show during the meal, with hula shows, rock shows, and fire dances on the stage, which kept us entertained one after another! Thank you very much!

昨年のハネムーン時に、こちらのショーが気になり、今回の旅行時に参加させて頂きました。
ビュッフェはお腹いっぱいになり、デザートに気付かず、慌てて駆け込み、詰め込みで堪能しました
食事中にもショーがあり、館内のステージでも
フラショーや、ロッキンショー、ファイヤーダンスと、次々と楽しませてくれる構成で楽しかったです！　有難うございました！

10/10 recommend! Had so much fun, the staff was super friendly, fun & professional!

The experience was not very good considering the high price. Since it's a submarine, the windows are small and visibility is poor, so I couldn't see much. I didn't really feel like I was diving, but I did feel a bit nauseous. I was hoping to see sea turtles, but unfortunately, I didn't see any.

高い値段の割には体験としてあまり良くなかったです。
潜水艦なので窓が小さく、見通しもよくないのであまり良く見えませんでした。
潜っている実感も特にないですが少し酔います。
ウミガメも見れるかと思ったけど見れず残念

The boat was a bit rocky.
The food was delicious but felt cheap.
The fireworks were amazing.
If the boat were bigger, maybe the rocking would be less.

船が少し揺れやすくよいました
ご飯はおいしかったが　安っぽかった
花火は最高でした
船が大きければ揺れは小さいのかも

The food was ok. The noodles were the best part. The entertainment wad better definately. Did not get to see as much sunset due to the mountains.

It was the perfect welcome activity for the family! The cruise was relaxing, the crew very friendly. It rained very briefly which was ok because it gave us a beautiful rainbow. We loved the magical sunset colours.

The pick up point was very accessible, right on Waikiki beach which is just walking distance from our hotel (and most hotels). Prepare to get your feet and/or legs wet when boarding and getting off but it was part of the experience! The price is also reasonable and allows you to bring drinks of your choice.

Would do it again if we’re back.

This was my first time participating. I felt really good with the free drinks, and when I went to the front of the boat, I got soaked from the waves. However, everyone else participating was also wearing happy smiles and was very friendly, which made me feel even better. The weather was great that day, and I got to see the most beautiful sunset. I decided that I would participate again next time. Thank you!

今回、初めて参加しました。フリードリンクでとても気分良くなり、船の前方まで行くと、波を直に浴びてびしょ濡れになりましたが、参加されてる他の方々もみんなハッピーな笑顔でとてもフレンドリーでさらに気分が上がりました。この日は天候も良く最高に綺麗な夕日が見れました。次回もまた参加しようと思いました。ありがとうございました！

Great service and hospitality. This is well worth your time and money.

Setting sail as the sun begins to set. As we head out to sea, the full view of Waikiki's skyline along with Diamond Head comes into sight. During this time, the sun sets behind the western mountains. By the time the western sky turns orange and the heavens become purple, we arrive at the dock. It's a brief experience, but this tour allows you to enjoy Waikiki from the sea. Give it a try!

陽が傾き始めたころの出航。
沖に出るほどにダイヤモンドヘッドとともにワイキキの街並みの全容が眼に入ってきます。
この時期は、西の山並みに陽が沈みます。
西の空がオレンジ色に、そして天空が紫色になるころ着岸。
僅かな時間ですが海からのワイキキを体験できるツアーです。
一度お試しを。

The weather was nice, and the waves by the shore weren't too bad, but once we headed out to sea, raised the mast, and started sailing, the waves began to rise, and the thrilling experience of getting splashed was so much fun. We got quite wet, but by the time we returned to shore, we were completely dry. My husband and I talked about how if the price were a bit lower (it felt very much like Hawaii), we would be happy to go every time.

天気も良く岸辺の波は大したことはなかったのですが、沖合に出てマストを上げて航行が始まったころから何が高くなり始めてバッサーンと波を被りながらのヨット体験はとってもスリリングで楽しかったです。
結構濡れましたが岸に戻るころにはすっかり乾いていました。
もう少しお値段が安かったら（とてもHawaiiらしくて）毎回乗ってもいいねと主人と話しています。

This is my second time on the Kamataran. I repeated it because I had a great experience four years ago, and it was still amazing.

Last time, I encountered a pod of dolphins, which was a wonderful memory. This time, encountering sea turtles was the highlight!

今回2回目のカマタラン号
4年前に乗ったカマタラン号が良くてリピートしましたがやっぱり最高でした。

前回はイルカの群れと遭遇していい思い出。
今回は海亀と遭遇最高でした。

Open bar, Great mai tai's, beautiful sunset, great crew, good music.

It was more fun than I expected.
Go, Michael!
There was also a live band, which was great.
There was even Presley, so the genre was diverse and I wasn't bored at all.

予想以上に楽しかったです。
マイケルがんばれ！
生バンドもあったのでとても良かったです。
プレスリーもいたのでジャンルが幅広く退屈しなかったです。

I chose this tour because the meeting place was close to my hotel and there weren't many options available at the last minute, but it turned out to be a great decision. I had a wonderful experience.

When we arrived at the snorkeling point by boat, we encountered a pod of dolphins! We enjoyed watching the dolphins from the boat.

Once in the water, I swam surrounded by schools of colorful fish of various sizes. (The staff threw food from the boat, so many fish gathered around.) After that, the staff guided us by swimming to the turtle point. We were able to see three turtles that day. They occasionally came up to the surface for air, allowing us to see them up close, which was incredibly exciting!

After the snorkeling time ended, we returned to the boat and sailed out to sea with the sails up, moving quite fast. I was fine, but those who are sensitive to motion might want to be cautious.

The website mentioned bringing a "photo ID," so I brought my passport, but it wasn't required. I didn't read it carefully, but it seems it was needed if you wanted to purchase alcohol on the boat. I misunderstood and thought it was required for the tour participation, so I would appreciate it if the wording could be changed.

After getting out of the water, it can be chilly with the sea breeze, so it's better to have a long-sleeved cover-up or a large towel. Also, there are no staff members who speak Japanese. They explain the precautions before entering the water, so having good listening skills would be helpful. (Since they use gestures, you might manage if you can catch some key words.)

集合場所が宿泊ホテルに近かったのと、間際の予約で他にあまり無かったので選びましたが、結果的に大正解でした。とても素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
ボートでスノーケリングポイントに着いた頃合いで、イルカの群れに遭遇！
ボートの上からしばしイルカ見物。
海に入り、大小色とりどりの魚の群れに囲まれながら遊泳。
（スタッフがボートから餌を投げるので沢山集まってきます）
その後、ホヌポイントまでスタッフが泳いで誘導してくれました。
この日は3匹のホヌに会えました。時おり水面まで息をしに上がってくるので本当に真横にホヌを見ることが出来、大感激！
スノーケリングタイムが終わった後は、ボートに戻り、沖合まで帆を上げてかなり飛ばしていきます。私は大丈夫でしたが、揺れに弱い人は要注意です。
WEBには持ち物に『写真付きのID』と書かれていたのでわざわざパスポートを持っていきましたが、提示は求められませんでした。よく読まなかったのがいけないですが、ボート上でお酒を購入したいときに必要ということだったようです。ツアー参加の際に掲示を求められると勘違いしてしまいましたので、書き方を変えていただけると嬉しいです。　
水から上がった後海風に吹かれて寒いので、長袖の羽織るものか大き目のバスタオルは有った方が良いです。あと、日本語話すスタッフはいません。海に入る前に注意事項を説明されるのでヒヤリング力は有った方が良いです。（身振り手振りの説明なので単語が聞き取れればなんとかなるかも）

It was an overall great experience and the staff was very helpful ! Would do it again !

Had a wonderful dive this morning with Waikiki Dive Center. The tour provided everything needed for a perfect morning dive. As two experienced divers we were impressed with the marine life and shipwreck!
