All Reviews for Waikiki Beach

We participated as a family of four. For those who couldn't drink alcohol, there were soft drinks available. At first, we were served a drink made with juice and gin (?), and then we could refill our drinks; our family finished a bottle of champagne. Just as we started to feel the effects of the alcohol, the sunset was beautiful, and it felt wonderful. However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick, and food was not allowed, so we were just drinking. On that day, we were the only Japanese people, but everyone was friendly, and we had a great time.

家族4人で参加しました。アルコールが飲めない人はソフトドリンクもありました。最初にジュースとジン（？）を割ったお酒が配られ、あとはお代わりをするシステムで我が家はシャンパンを一本飲み干しました。
丁度、お酒の酔いが回ったぐらいで夕日が沈み、とても気分が良かったです。
ただ、結構揺れるので、船酔いする方は厳しいのと、フードはＮＧなのでひたすら飲んでいました。
この日は日本人は私たちだけでしたが、みなさんフレンドリーで楽しめました。

I'm glad I went! The sunset sinking into the ocean in Hawaii was amazing. I didn't plan to drink, but the staff kept making Mai Tais and handed them to me forcefully. (laughs) Among a few Asian couples, including my husband and me, the staff was very energetic and explained everything in English, but everyone was friendly and it felt very cheerful. Other guests were the same. During the cruise, they played music continuously, making it quite lively during the sunset moment. I ended up buying the photo taken before boarding. It was a pretty good picture with the boat and Diamond Head in the background.

乗ってよかった！ハワイの海にしずむサンセットは最高でした。
飲まないつもりでしたがスタッフがマイタイ？をガンガン作って強引に渡されました。笑　私たち夫婦含めアジア系は数組ほどの中、スタッフのテンション高い説明も英語のみですが、みなフレンドリー、和気あいあいという感じ。他のお客さんも。航行中はサンセットの瞬間もずっと音楽かけっぱなし、やたら賑やかです。
乗船前に撮られた写真、買ってしまいました。船とダイヤモンドヘッドをバックにした、けっこういい写真だったので。

We participated as a family with members in their teens, twenties, forties, and seventies. The buffet before the show, including the hula dance experience, was a lot of fun. The dinner lasted about an hour, and there was a wide variety of desserts, so we left feeling full. The first drink included a stylish Mai Tai cocktail, and the second drink was $10. Everyone enjoyed the show together. If I could wish for something, it would be that there were a few more songs that the younger ones know to make it perfect. I was also happy that they were willing to take photos with us after the show. It became a wonderful memory.

10代、20代、40代、70代の家族で参加しました。
ショーの前のビュッフェの時、フラダンス体験等。こちらがかなり楽しかったです。
1時間ほどのディナーですが、デザートも豊富でお腹いっぱいになりました。
飲み物は最初の一杯はマイタイのお洒落なカクテルが含まれ、2杯目からは10ドルでした。
ショーも皆で楽しめました。
欲を言うならば…若い子たちが知ってる音楽ももう少しあれば完璧だなぁと思いました。
終わった後の写真撮影も快く応じてくれて嬉しかったです。
とてもいい思い出になりました。

It had been a while since I last visited Hawaii, and this time I went on a trip with my son to enjoy some marine sports. We decided to challenge ourselves with surfing first. I was a bit nervous because I heard the instructor would be a foreigner, but he spoke Japanese fluently (laughs). Since we chose a two-person lesson, it was just my son and me. The private lesson was a lot of fun, and the photos arrived quickly. Thank you very much!

久しぶりハワイで初サーフィン
今回は息子と2人旅でマリンスポーツを楽しもうとまず
サーフィンに挑戦しました
初めてサーフィンでインストラクターは外人さんと聞いてたのでドキドキしてましたが日本語ペラペラでした（笑）
2人レッスンを選んだので息子と2人
プライベートレッスンでとても楽しかったです
写真もすぐ届きました
ありがとうございました

You might be asking yourself if a sunset Cruise is worth it. I asked myself the same thing. I went with my wife and some family and had a great time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was really good and had lots of options. The shows were very entertaining and some where quite funny thanks to the performers. Then the sunset was great. We went on a Wednesday and it was not many people. Felt almost like we had the entire ship to ourselves. Super fun experience overall.

If you plan to drink alcohol at the reception area, you will need to show your passport and get a stamp on the back of your hand. You will need to show this stamp when ordering alcohol on board. You will wait for about 15 minutes before boarding. After that, a group photo will be taken in front of the ship. (After the cruise, when you disembark, they will ask you in English if you would like to buy the developed photo for $20, so you can purchase it there if you're interested.)

Once on board, all announcements will be made in English. I don't understand the content, but the sunset is beautiful, and the people around are cheerful, which makes it enjoyable just to watch. For those who cannot drink alcohol, soft drinks like pineapple juice are available, so there's no need to worry. There are no snacks, but towards the end, a small bag of potato chips will be passed around for each person. If you're worried about getting seasick, it might be a good idea to have a little something to eat before boarding.

Lastly, there is a restroom on the ship (in the lower deck), but it is a bit unclean for Japanese standards. When I went in, there was no toilet paper, so it's a good idea to bring tissues just in case. It's best to use the restroom before boarding! However, if you can't hold it and need to use the restroom, you can ask a female instructor for directions.

受付の場所で、お酒を飲む予定の方はパスポートを提示して、手の甲あたりにスタンプを押してもらいます。そのスタンプ船上でお酒を注文する際に見せて注文するようでした。
乗船するまでは約15分程度待ちます。
そのあと船の前で人グループずつ写真を撮られます。(クルーズ終了後、船を降りる際に現像した写真を手に、20ドルで買いませんか？と英語で尋ねてきますので、欲しいな方はそこで購入できます。)
そして乗船し、終始英語で案内があります。
内容は分かりませんが、夕焼けは綺麗だし、周りの方々は陽気で見ているだけで楽しい気分にはなれます。
お酒が飲めない方もパイナップルジュースなどのソフトドリンクは用意されているので安心です。
軽食などはありませんが、最後らへんに小袋のポテトチップスなどが一人一袋回ってきます。
悪酔いしないように心配な方は少しお腹を満たしてから乗ったほうがいいかと思います。
最後に、船の中(船底)にトイレはありますが、日本人にはちょっと耐えがたい汚さです。また、私が入った際にはトイレットペーパーが無かったので、念のためティッシュは持っていったほうがいいかと思います。
トイレは乗船前にあらかじめ済ませたほうがいいです！でも我慢できずトイレを利用する際には女性のインストラクター？の方に声をかけると場所を教えてくださいます。

Dinner was buffet style, but it was so delicious that it didn't feel like a buffet at all. I was able to enjoy a cute original Mai Tai. There’s also a non-alcoholic Mai Tai available, so those who don’t drink can feel comfortable.

While eating, we got to watch hula dancing, and in the second half of dinner, there was a hula lesson, which made for a wonderful experience. The show was from the second-floor seats, but we were in the middle and had a great view. The performers even came right up to us, and I was moved to receive a towel from them.

I would love to go see it again. Highly recommended!!!

Dinnerはビュッフェスタイルでしたが、ビュッフェとは思えない程の美味しさで最高でした。
お酒も可愛いオリジナルマイタイが飲めました。ノンアルコールマイタイも飲めるので、お酒が飲めない方でも安心です。
また食べながらフラダンスも見れて、
Dinnerの後半にはフラレッスンもあり、とてもいい体験になりました。
ショーは、2階席でしたが真ん中でとてもいい席でした。またパフォーマーも目の前まで来てくれて、タオルもいただき感動です。
また観に行きたいと思いました。
オススメです！！！

Yes, I was actually brought to tears by seeing these amazing animals so close. I unfortunately didn't get any photos of the whales themselves because I was so mesmerized by them. This Majestic whale watch cruise did a great job of spotting whales and getting closer to them (but not too close). We were able to have amazing sightings of these graceful creatures, even though weather and ocean conditions weren't ideal. I'd do this every single day if I could!

We watched the show from the golden seats with four friends. The performance, including the kahiko, was really enjoyable. I think it was worth the price. I would have been happier if there were a bit more variety in the food, but I did leave feeling full. I definitely plan to bring my family next time and watch the show again.

友達4人で、ゴールデンシートからの観覧
ショーは、カヒコなどもあり男性のパフォーマンスがとっても
楽しかったです。お値段に見合うだけの見ごたえは、あると思います。
食事が、もう少しいろいろな種類があれば嬉しかったけれど
お腹いっぱいには、なりました。
次、家族を連れてきた時も、ぜひ観覧しようと思います

A truely unique Hawaiian experience right on Waikiki beach. The team where wonderful and helped us paddle out thru the breaks and land the perfect waves to return to shore. Riding the waves back into shore you get an amazing view of the Waikiki shoreline and Diamond head from a different perspective. We had so much fun and looking forward to doing it again on our next trip.

I received treatment in a calm and quiet store. Since it was a detox Lomi Lomi, they kindly provided paper underwear in case I was concerned about my underwear getting wet from sweating. I lay down on a warm bed, and they carefully massaged my shoulders, lower back, and calves. I had been suffering from shoulder stiffness due to desk work, but by the end of the treatment, I felt refreshed and my body felt lighter. When I come to Hawaii again, I would like to request Lomi Lomi on my last day.

　ゆっくりと静かな店内で 施術頂きました。
　デトックスロミロミとの事で、「汗で下着の濡れが気になるようでしたら」と、紙パンツを用意いただけたのでよかったです。
　温かい ベットに横になり、肩・腰とふくらはぎを丁寧にマッサージ。
　デスクワークのため肩こりが特にひどかったのですが、施術が終わるころにはすっきりとして 体が軽くなりました。
　また ハワイに来た際は、最終日に ロミロミをお願いしたいと思っております。

Unfortunately, it was held indoors due to strong winds. It's just bad luck. There's no helping it. The indoor setting lacked the excitement. The standard seats were quite far away. The show at a certain indoor pool in Japan was more impressive.

It was helpful that children could go and get the buffet food. Also, it was great to see the fire show, which I thought we wouldn't be able to see indoors.

あいにくの強風で室内での開催となりました。これは運ですね。仕方ないです。室内での開催は、迫力に欠けます。スタンダード席からは遠かったです。日本の某室内プールのショーの方が迫力がありますした。
ブッフェ料理は、子供から取りに行けたのは助かりました。また、室内では見れないと思っていたファイヤーショーが見れたのは良かったです。

This time, I signed up my son, a high school baseball player who has enjoyed staying in Hawaii since childhood, hoping he would enjoy some sports that are a bit more Hawaiian.

When we entered the shop, we were welcomed by friendly staff, and the procedures went smoothly even without Japanese.

The lesson was a group session, and it seems he was able to have a great time with everyone gathered there.

As I watched my son paddle out for the first time on the gentle waves, I regretted not participating myself. Among the participants, there were families (fathers and sons) enjoying the lesson together. It was a nice lesson where even the time spent watching was enjoyable, and the staff's support was excellent. My son mentioned that next time, he would prefer a private lesson.

Much Mahalo♪

今回は幼少時よりハワイ滞在を楽しんできた高校球児である息子に
「少しはハワイっぽいスポーツも楽しんで欲しい」と、申し込みました。
ショップに入るとフレンドリーなスタッフさんにお迎えされて日本語が無くても諸手続きはスムーズに完了。

レッスンはグループレッスンでしたが、その場に集う皆さんと
楽しく過ごすことができたようです。

穏やかな波間に初めてパドリングで漕ぎ出す息子を眺めながら
親である私も参加すればよかった、と後悔。
参加者の中にはご家族（父子）でレッスンを楽しんでいる方もいらっしゃいました。
眺めている時間も楽しめる、スタッフの対応もナイスなレッスンでした。
息子は次回、プライベートレッスンがいいな、と申しておりました。

Much Mahalo♪

If you want music, dancing, wind in your face, then you need to try this! Add to your experience, the maitai’s and fireworks, it turned out to be The start of a great night!

The explanation for the transfer from the hotel to the cruise ship was in English, so I could hardly understand it. The food was delicious, but the inside of the ship was cold, and there were people drinking hot water. There was quite a bit of time until the fireworks, and it was disappointing that the other children got bored and started running around.

ホテルからクルーズ船まで送迎での説明は英語でしたので　ほぼわからずでした。
食事は美味しくいただきましたが船内が寒くて白湯を飲んでる人たちもいらっしゃる状態でした。
花火までの時間がかなりあり　他の子供たちは飽きてしまい運動場化してたのが残念！

I was thrilled when I saw two whales swimming and spouting water just when I thought I wouldn't see any more whales towards the end of the tour.

ツアー終盤でもう鯨は見れないかと思ったときに、2頭の鯨が潮を噴きながら泳ぐ姿を見たときは感激しました。

This wasn't my first time, but it was my companion's first time, so we opted for a group lesson. It felt a bit like an assembly line. The advice wasn't very targeted. I would have liked to have been kindly taught from the beginning, especially about how to avoid the waves for those who don't know.

自分は初めてじゃないですがお連れが初めてだったのでグループレッスンにしました。
流れ作業的な的感じでした。
的を射たアドバイスではなかった。
波のよけ方など知らない人に始めから親切に教えていただきたかった。

I participated in the sunset cruise on a catamaran. On the day of the event, we gathered at the catamaran booth located by the beachside of the Sheraton Hotel. There were already participants gathered, and once on board, there were about 40 people, creating a lively atmosphere.
It was an open bar, and the cocktail called Mai Tai was very delicious. I thought the drink list was also extensive and great.
The sunset was magnificent, and I was able to spend a wonderful time on the waters of Hawaii. It was a thoroughly satisfying two hours.

カタマラン号のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。当日はシェラトンホテルのビーチサイドにあるカタマランブース集合でした。既に参加者が集まっており、乗船すると40名程居て賑わっていました。
オープンバー方式となっていて、マイタイと呼ばれるカクテルがとても美味しかったです。ドリンクのリストも豊富で良かったと思います。
夕焼けも見事で、ハワイの海から素晴らしい時間を過ごすことができました。大満足の2時間でした。

I only tried it twice.
I tried other places more than three times...
The cost performance is terrible. It's not interesting at all.
I ordered it after watching "Hawa Koi," but it was a waste of money.

2回しか、トライしなかった。
他のとこは3回以上トライしてたのに…
コスパ悪すぎ。全然面白くない。
ハワ恋見て頼んだけど、お金の無駄。

My mom had been wanting to do a whale watch cruise for a very long time now and she was very excited when I booked this tour to do with her. Once the boat had departed they had told us that lunch will be open the entire trip. We did not want to miss seeing the whales so we went to get lunch as soon as they announced that it was open. While eating our lunch the captain had announced that they had spotted a whale and that was the first time we were able to see whales on our tour. For the entire time we followed the same mother and calf whale that we had spotted in the beginning. We were able to spot them many times during the duration of the tour! My mom was also able to see some dolphins during the tour as well. It was such an amazing experience for both my mom and I and we both would love to go and do this tour again next whale watching season!

Shuttle pick up and drop off were seamless. The perfect amount of time at the Bay to get through admissions, snorkel, float, sun and snack! The gear worked well and fit like a glove.

The sunset was amazing and moving! The Mai Tai has less alcohol, so I think even those who are not strong with alcohol can enjoy it. The wind is strong and it's a bit chilly, so you'll need something to wear.

サンセットが素晴らしくて感動❣️マイタイはアルコール少なめなのでお酒の弱い方でも飲めると思います風が強く肌寒いので羽織るモノは必要です。

I usually watch the Polynesian show, but this time I chose the show at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I really enjoyed it.

いつもはポリネシアンショーを見てたのですが今回はロイヤル　ハワイアンセンターのショーにしました
なかなか楽しめました

I read in the reviews that it could be far away or hard to see, so I planned the next day as a backup just in case I couldn't see anything. At first, the blowhole was far away, and I couldn't really understand what I was supposed to be looking at, but while I was eating, I saw a whale very close by. When I hurried outside, a mother and calf showed themselves to us. On the way back, I also saw a turtle, which was very lucky. I chose not to use the shuttle service and got off at Kakaako on the high bus and walked, but the breeze felt nice, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was great.

口コミに遠かったり見られない事も多いと書いてあったので、見られなかった時の為に次の日を予備日として、計画をたてました。
はじめは潮吹きも遠く、言われたところを見てもよくわからなかったのですが、ご飯を食べていたら、すぐ近くにくじらが見えて、急いで外へ出たら親子で姿を見せてくれました。帰りにはカメも見られて、とてもラッキーでした。
送迎なしを選んで、ハイバスのカカアコで降りて歩いていきましたが、風が気持ち良くて時間も有効利用出来たので良かったです。

It was a bus pickup at Hilton Grand Vacations. The woman who confirmed the reservation didn't understand any Japanese at all. We managed to grasp the meaning through some words, but those who only understand Japanese seemed confused. For tours with many Japanese reservations, it might be reassuring to have someone who can speak even a little.

Since the pickup time for the tour was a bit late, by the time we arrived at the boarding area, all the spots with a good view outside were taken. However, since it was a bit cold this season, we took seats indoors on the second floor and had lunch before going outside to take a look.

They also make announcements in English when a whale approaches, so you can stick to the glass window and watch (laughs). This time, it was a smaller whale, so we couldn't see it clearly, but we were able to see it nonetheless.

ヒルトングランドバケーションのバス駐車場ピックアップでした。
予約確認の女性は、全く日本語わかりません。
私たちは、単語などでなんとなく意味わかりましたが日本語しかわからない方は、戸惑ってました。日本人の予約が多いツアーは、少しでいいから話せる方だと安心できるかもと思いました。
ツアーの方は、迎えの時間が遅めのため
乗り場に着いた時は、外の眺めのよさそうなとこは全部埋まってました。
でも、この季節は、寒めなので二階の室内で席を取って昼食も食べてから
外に出て見に行っても大丈夫です。
ホエールが近づいたら放送もしてくれるので(英語)
ガラス窓にピタッてくっついて見ても見れます(笑)
今回は、小さめなのではっきり見えませんでしてが一応見ることできました

I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. I was hoping to see various fish and, if lucky, a sea turtle. On the day of the event, while on the boat heading to Atlantis, we were able to see wild dolphins on the way there and a whale on the way back (the whale was quite far away, but the dolphins were very close).

There was an explanation in Japanese, and we were not too far from Waikiki Beach, where we saw many fish and, finally, the sea turtle. We even spotted a small shark, which made the kids enjoy the experience throughout. The boat was comfortable, but the air conditioning was a bit chilly, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.

4歳、6歳の子供達と参加しました。色々なお魚や運良くウミガメが見れたら嬉しいなぁと思っていましたが、いざ当日参加したらアトランティスに向かう迄の船内で行きに野生のイルカと帰りに鯨を見る事が出来ました。(鯨はだいぶ離れた距離.イルカはかなり至近距離でした)

日本語での説明もありワイキキビーチからそんなに離れていない海底で沢山の魚そして念願のウミガメ、小さいサイズでしたがサメも見る事が出来子供達は終始楽しんでいました。
船内も快適でしたが、やはり海外エアコン？空調？が少し肌寒かったので羽織りがあると良いかもです。

Fantastic cruise!!!
Friendly crew
Good music
Great Cocktails
Fun couple of hours. Good time was had by all and would love to do it again.

Great experience off of the coast of Waikiki. Our crew did a great job of keeping our drinks full the whole cruise. Beautiful views of the coastline and the sunset. Great price for the experience. Would definitely recommend!

A very fun time. A chance to get out in the water and a good price! Great crew that was extremely attentive to each guest. I’d do this again and recommend it!

We participated as a family. It was our first day at Waikiki Beach, and we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean with the kids. On top of that, we were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming right nearby.

There was an option to take a photo with Diamond Head in the background, which I thought would make a great memory, so I decided to purchase it.

We traveled by boat for about 10 minutes to get to the submarine, and during that time, we were able to see a whale in the distance. The guide spoke in Japanese and entertained us with jokes. Inside the submarine, we were satisfied with the experience as we could see corals, fish, and sea turtles up close.

However, I experienced more motion sickness than I expected. They provide etiquette bags, but I recommend that those who are sensitive take medication beforehand.

家族で参加しました。
ワイキキビーチに初めて行った日だったので、海のキレイさに子どもたちと感動しました。その上、海辺ではウミガメがすぐそこを泳いでいて大興奮でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮るという観光地特有のオプションがついていましたが、思い出になると思い購入しました。

潜水艦に乗るまで10分ほど船で移動するのですが、その際にクジラの姿も遠くに見ることができました。
ガイドは日本語で、時にジョークもあり楽しませてくれます。潜水艦では、サンゴや魚、ウミガメも間近に見ることができ満足な体験でした。

ただ、思った以上に乗り物酔いします。エチケット袋は用意されていますが、弱い人はお薬を飲んで行くことをおすすめします。
