Waikiki
We loved this so much that we have booked again before we leave. Best mai tai i’ve tasted, friendly crew, beautiful going out on the open sea and even saw dolphins beside us! Thank you for such a fun experience!
I have visited Honolulu many times and enjoyed gourmet experiences at tourist spots like North Shore, Manoa, and Kailua in the past. This time, I experienced a 90-minute sailing on the sea of Honolulu. During check-in, a lovely woman provided a detailed explanation, and on board, a cheerful male crew member offered various services. It was amazing to see the scenery from the sea, looking at the city of Honolulu, the hotels, Diamond Head, and the Pacific Ocean, which I usually viewed from the land. Although the weather wasn't perfectly sunny, I didn't get sunburned and enjoyed the pleasant sea breeze along with delicious free drinks served by the staff. I had beer, cocktails, white wine, and champagne, feeling pleasantly tipsy. With a capacity of 42 people, there were 14 of us (6 Japanese, 2 Australians, and others), and we had a wonderful time taking photos and chatting (I conversed with an Australian family).
何回もホノルルへ来ていて、過去ノースショア・マノア・カイルアなどの観光地でグルメ中心に楽しんでいました。今回、ホノルルの海を90分のセーリングを経験。チェックインでは、ハーフの素敵な女性が丁寧に説明してくれ、乗船では明るい男性乗船が色々なサービスをしてくれ、いつもは街から見ていた風景を、海からホノルルの街やホテル・ダイヤモンド・太平洋を見ることができ、最高でした。天候は快晴ではなかったけど、日焼けせず、心地よい海風と美味しいフリードリンクを、スタッフがサーブしてくれ、ビール・カクテル・白ワイン・シャンパンを飲み、ほろ酔い加減。42名？の定員で、14名(日本人6、オーストラリア人2他)で、写真を取り合ったり、おしゃべりしたり(当方オーストラリア人の親子と歓談)と素敵な時間でした。

We participated with three children, including a one-year-old, and two adults. Other activities that included dolphin encounters and snorkeling seemed too expensive, and I thought the snorkeling might scare the kids. Additionally, there were limited boat activities available for a one-year-old, so I thought this sailing would be just right and made a reservation. The size of the boat and the duration of the trip were perfect for the kids, and by chance, we were able to see a school of flying fish and a turtle, which was exciting. The waves made the boat bounce, and the splashes of water were fun for the elementary school kids, while the preschooler clung to me in fear. I couldn't let the one-year-old roam freely, but they fell asleep partway through, allowing us to enjoy the ride at a leisurely pace. It became a very enjoyable memory.
1歳を含む3人の子供と大人2人で参加しました。他にあるイルカ遭遇やシュノーケル付きのアクティビティではシュノーケルはまだ子供が怖がるのと料金が高いと思っていました。また1歳が参加できる乗船のアクティビティも限られてたので、今回のセーリングがちょうど良いと思い予約しました。船内の広さや乗船時間も子供達にもちょうどよく、偶然だと思いますがトビウオの群れやカメも見ることができて興奮しました。波で船がはずんで水飛沫がかかります。小学生にはそれが楽しく、保育園児は怖がって私にしがみついていました。1歳児は自由にはさせられませんが、途中から寝てくれたのでゆっくり乗船できました。とても楽しい思い出になりました。

I was wondering if there would be some variation in the arrival time, but it arrived quite on time! The trolley driver was also accustomed to Japanese people and answered my questions about the destination in a friendly manner. The course that goes around to catch the sunset took us to Ala Moana Park at just the right time, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. I started using it from the day I arrived in Hawaii, but I couldn't use it due to jet lag, so I recommend carefully considering the start date before using it.
到着予定時間にバラツキがあるのかなと思ってましたが結構ピッタリな時間に到着でした！
トロリーの運転手さんも日本人に慣れてて行き先聞いたら気さくに答えてくれます。
サンセットにあわせて巡るコースは丁度良い時間にアラモアナパークに行けて綺麗なサンセットをみることができました。
ハワイに到着した日から使用開始にしたのですが時差ボケで利用できなかったので使用開始日をよく検討してから使用開始することをオススメします。

I came back and had a Mai Tai at home, but I miss the Mai Tai from that boat. Last time, the sea was rough and I couldn't ride, but I'm very satisfied this time.
帰ってきて、家でマイタイ呑みましたが、あの船のマイタイが恋しくてmissingです
前回、海が荒れて乗れなかったのですが大満足です。

I'm already addicted!
When you come to Waikiki, you must try it!
For those who haven't experienced it yet or those who came without a plan, please give it a try. I'm sure it will become an unforgettable memory.
I will definitely fly again next time! It's the best!
もう病みつきです！
ワイキキに来たら、必ず飛びます☆
未体験の方、ノープランでいらしたかたも、是非体験してみてください。きっと忘れることの出来ない思い出になると思います。
私は次も必ず飛ぶでしょう☆
最高です☆

You can enjoy a wonderful sunset cruise while admiring Diamond Head on a uniquely shaped boat that is hard to find in Japan. We start with a toast as Mai Tai cocktails flow from the tap! (If you don't drink, you can choose something else.) Other alcoholic beverages are also all-you-can-drink, allowing you to spend a pleasant time feeling the breeze in an open space.
The boarding area is near a power spot called Kavehevehe, so be sure to check it out before or after your cruise. It will cleanse both your mind and body!
The meeting point is just a short walk through the Sheraton Hotel, making it especially recommended if you're staying at a hotel near the Sheraton!
なかなか日本ではお目にかからない形の船に乗り、ダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながら素敵なサンセットクルーズができます。
マイタイカクテルが蛇口から出るスタイルで最初に乾杯します！（飲めない方は別の選べます）
ほかのアルコールも飲み放題で、開放的な空間で風を感じながら気持ちの良いひと時を過ごせます。
乗り場はカヴェヘヴェヘというパワースポットが近くなので、前後でぜひ行ってみてください。心身ともに浄化されます！
シェラトンホテルの中を突っ切っていけばすぐの待ち合わせ場所で、シェラトン近辺のホテル宿泊なら特にお勧めします！

Parasailing with my 83-year-old mother was amazing. We got to see Diamond Head and the city skyline from high up in the sky, which was fantastic. The final splash left us quite soaked, and water splashed on our faces, but it was incredibly fun!
83歳の母を連れてのパラセーリング
かなり高く、ダイヤモンドヘッドやビル群を空から見れて最高でした
最後のザブンはかなりびしょびしょに濡れて、顔にも水がかかりましたが、最高に楽しかったです！

Most of the time it was snorkeling in the water where you can see most of the tiny fishes swimming around. I saw a turtle far away when I came on the boat but still was hard to see (even in the camera). Just saw a turtle do a back flip from a 500 meter distance from our boat. To see it very close or in the water while snorkeling, I think it is mostly luck but had a good time with other people on the boat with drinks and snacks too!
One of the most exciting moments during my stay in Waikiki. This is a must do activity but depends if you are scared of heights and other health factors since everyone is different. I will be doing this again and made a reservation just now again during my stay at Waikiki. It is about a 6-8 minute up in the air while the camera man takes pictures of you and you buy the pictures as additional but you regret if you don't buy it. The pictures are well taken and the most fun part is when you come down; you get dropped into the water (this is optional too) but it is part of the experience in which almost everyone did. I cannot wait to be parasailing in about a month. Will be the best way to end the year right!
Our tour included four groups with a total of ten people. Since two people go parasailing at a time, we had five sessions of ten minutes each. Including the time for putting on and taking off the gear, the total activity lasted just over an hour. The instructions were all in English, but they also used gestures, so I was able to participate without any anxiety.
During parasailing, it was refreshing! I felt like a bird. We flew quite high, allowing us to see all of Waikiki, which was a wonderful experience.
While the ride itself was great, during takeoff and landing for parasailing, we stopped and floated, so I think those who are prone to seasickness should take motion sickness medication in advance.
At the end of the parasailing, there was a surprise where we dipped into the sea up to our waists, so I recommend wearing a swimsuit!
私達を含め4組10名でのツアーでした。2名づつパラセーリングをするので、5回✖️10分。装具の付け外しなど含めトータル1時間少しのアクティビティでした。説明は全て英語でしたがジェスチャーも交えてくださり不安なく参加できました。
パラセーリング中は爽快！鳥になった気分です。かなり高く飛ぶのでワイキキを一望出来とても素晴らしい体験でした。
滑走中は良いのですがパラセーリングの離発着時は停止しぷかぷかと浮いた状態なので船酔いしやすい方は事前に酔い止めを飲んだ方が良いと思います。
パラセーリングの終盤ではチャプンと腰くらいまで海に浸かるサプライズ付きなので水着着用をオススメします！

The weather was favorable, and we had a great experience. There were five groups on the same boat, but aside from the actual parasailing, we had to wait on the boat, which caused some people to feel seasick, so I felt that motion sickness medication was essential. Fortunately, my husband and I had taken medication in advance, so we were able to enjoy the views of Waikiki while waiting on the boat. We also bought many photos during the parasailing, which became wonderful memories.
天候にも恵まれ、よい体験ができました。 5組が同じボートでしたが、パラセール本番以外は、ボートで待機のため、船酔いをされる方もあり、酔い止めは必須と感じました。幸い、我々（夫婦）は事前に薬を服用したこともあり、ボートで待機中もワイキキの風景を楽しめました。パラセール中の写真もたくさん購入でき、良い思い出となりました。

Great experience, the staff on the boat were really personable and experienced.
Reminder to those going on the catamaran, wear shorts or something you don’t mind getting wet, no denim or something that will take. Whole to dry as you have to walk through the water to get on the boat and you have to time the stair climb with the waves.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. The instructions on where to check in were clear and there was a water tap to rinse our feet off after which was nice. This catamaran was smaller than any others I had been on which was great for easy on and off. The mai tai’s were really good too!! Much better than some of the hotel bars we have had.
A sunrise hike up diamond head is a must do. The Acai bowl at Bogarts was a perfect refresher after the hike. I would do this again
The weather was fantastic, and I floated high up into the sky. It felt like I was riding on a swing as I ascended. I didn't feel any seasickness and had a great time. My son said to me, "It's impressive that you decided to do something like this at your age." But with parasailing, it seems like it's something I could do even as I get older.
天気もサイコーでフワフワと空高くまで上がりました。
ただブランコに乗っているような感じで上がっていきました。
船酔いする事もなく、楽しく体験できました。
息子には「いい年してよくこんな体験する気になったね。」と言われてしまいました。
でも、パラセーリングなら、歳をとっても出来そうです。

The wind, the sunset, and Mai Tai!! Enjoying champagne while gazing at the streets of Honolulu, the rainbow, and the setting sun was just the best. It was an extraordinary experience. I definitely want to participate again next time! ^_^
風と夕日とマイタイ‼️ホノルルの街並み、虹、沈む夕日を眺めながらのシャンパン、もう最高でした。非日常の世界でした。次回も是非参加したいです^_^

Booked whilst in Australia, on the night it was easy to locate, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food and drink were plentiful and more than expected. The entertainment was very good and as whole the night was a fantastic event. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good meal and a show.
I saw it in a travel magazine and decided to include it in our schedule. The weather was a bit bad on the day we went, but when I suddenly looked at Diamond Head, there was a rainbow over it. The sway of the yacht as we moved over the waves, everyone swaying to the music and enjoying drinks, the excitement with people from various countries, and the sunset sinking into the sea was absolutely beautiful. The night view on the way back was fantastic, and it was truly a fun two hours. Thank you to the staff of Nahoku for creating such a wonderful time.
旅行雑誌で見かけて、スケジュールに入れて見ました、私達が行った日は少し天気が悪かったのですが、ふとダイヤモンドヘッドを見るとレインボーがかかってました。波の上を進む時のヨットの揺れ、音楽に乗ってみな身体を揺らしお酒を楽しみ、様々な国の人との盛り上がり、また海に沈む夕陽は最高にビューティフルでした。帰る時は夜景が最高で本当に楽しい2時間でした。盛り上げて下さったナホクのスタッフの方本当に素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。

We thoroughly enjoyed the show! Would have loved more.
From the crew staff to the crowd and the music the vibe was perfect!!!! I definitely had a great time!!! And the captain definitely gave us more than three drinks for sure!

I had a spectacular experience at the Na Lei Aloha Show! The location is within walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki. The food was the best I've ever had at a luau. The all-you-can-eat buffet at Hyatt Hotel features perfectly cooked prime ribs, short ribs, and pork ribs. It's a seafood lover's paradise! They have high quality snow crab legs, made-to-order sushi, poke station, an incredible variety of salads, hot dishes, and an impressive selection of desserts. It’s hard to pick favorites because every dish was outstanding, I can't wait to go back.
The setting had a lovely intimate atmosphere, and the servers were attentive to every detail. The show was absolutely delightful, highlighting Hawaiian culture and the significance of the Lei, showcasing a wide array of flowers used to create these meaningful flower necklaces. The dancers were incredibly talented, and the storytelling was captivating—I couldn't stop smiling!
Mahalo nui! We are so happy you enjoyed your time with us at Na Lei Aloha! Your support of this show also supports our efforts to promote regenerative tourism in Hawai'i, providing a quality and culturally authentic experience for visitors as well as an enhanced quality of life for local residents. We hope to see you again soon!
About an hour before the gathering, I checked the boat's location, and when I arrived 30 minutes prior, I panicked because the boat was missing. The voucher mentioned that there might not be a boat even at the check-in time, but it also stated that due to sea conditions, the departure could be from a completely different beach. It said they would contact us individually, but since there was no international phone number, I was worried that I might have been left behind. In the end, the boat did not arrive until the departure time, and there was no shade on the beach under the blazing sun, with no restrooms nearby, so arriving too early is something to be cautious about.
However, once on board, I found a bar where you could drink freely, and later it turned into a lively club atmosphere with upbeat music (the passengers on passing boats seemed a bit taken aback), which really made me feel like I was experiencing something international! I would like to use this service again if I have the chance. Shoes are stored away, and it's barefoot on the boat. It gets quite wet, so wearing a swimsuit with a rash guard was definitely the right choice!
集合の１時間ほど前に船の位置を下見して、30分前に行ったら船がなく焦りました。
バウチャーにはチェックインの時間になっても船がないことがあるとは書いてありましたが、海況で全く違うビーチ発になることもあるとも書いてあり、個別連絡するとは書いてあるもの、海外用の電話番号もなかったためまさか置いてかれたのか？と気が気ではありませんでした。。
結局出港の時間まで船は来ず、炎天下のビーチで日陰はなく、近くにはトイレもないので、早く着きすぎるのも要注意です。
ただ、乗ってみたら気軽に飲み放題できるバーと後半はノリノリBGMのクラブ状態（すれ違った船の乗客は若干引くほど）でまさに海外を味わえた気がしますｗ
また機会があったらこちらを利用したいな、とは思いました。
靴は仕舞われ船上は裸足。結構濡れるので水着にラッシュで正解でした！

As we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful cold lei that made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect for Waikiki away from the crowds with stunning views of the ocean/sunset. The food was truly out of this world from just about every thing you could possibly think of. Sushi, meats, a quality salad bar, Korean BBQ, and not to mention the yummy dessert bar. Food for every pallet in the family.
The show was truly engaging, sweet, and wholesome. Based on the history of Waikiki and the importance of flowers being made into leis. Not like any other show i've seen on island. The duration of the activity was perfect, not too long not too short didn't feel rushed to eat or didn't feel like the show was dragging on. Would definitely recommend this for couples and friends looking to celebrate in a unique way.
Mahalo TravelGoddess! We love your comments about everything and especially about the food, the uniqueness of performance and appreciate your recommendations and sharing it with anyone traveling to the islands. Aloha.
I thought I would have to join a half-day tour to see sea turtles, but I found a tour in the Waikiki area that only took about 2 to 3 hours, and it was really great.
The instructor continuously pointed out where the sea turtles were while we were snorkeling, so it was easy to follow along and see them! I was very happy to swim with several sea turtles. I plan to request this tour again when I go back to Hawaii.
半日かけたツアーに参加しないとウミガメには会えないかなと思っていたのですが、ワイキキ界隈で2、3時間程度で催行してくれるツアーでとても良かったです。
インストラクターの方が、ウミガメいる場所を随時教えてくれながらのシュノーケリングだった為、ついていけば会える！が叶えられました。何匹ものウミガメと、一緒に泳げたのがとても嬉しかったです。またハワイに行ったらお願いしようと思います。

It was my first time parasailing! The location was clearly indicated with instructions on how to input it into Google Maps, so I was able to get there without getting lost!
As soon as we set off, they asked if I wanted to take pictures and took some for me, but I was a bit nervous because there was no prior information about the cost of purchasing the photos. (It was $40 for sharing to my smartphone and receiving an SD card.) I wish they had informed us about this beforehand.
That said, the experience itself was amazing! When I participated, there were four groups (a total of eight people), and each flight lasted about five minutes, which was very satisfying! After returning, we high-fived each other and took photos together, and later shared them via AirDrop. It was a wonderful encounter when we happened to meet again at a restaurant that night and chatted a bit!
Taking motion sickness medication is a must! While the other three groups were flying, we had to wait on the boat, which rocked quite a bit, so it made me feel nauseous... I took motion sickness medication, but I still felt a bit sick.
初めてのパラセーリングでした！
場所はGoogleマップの時はこれで入力してね。と丁寧に記載があったので迷わず行けました！
出発してすぐに、写真撮る？と声を掛けて頂き写真を撮って頂きましたが事前の説明で写真の購入にいくらかかるのか？がなかったため少しドキドキしていましたw（40ドルでスマホへの共有とSDカードを頂きました）
この辺の説明も事前に知らせて頂けたらなと思いました。
とはいえ体験自体は最高でした！
私が参加した時は4組（合計8名）で一組の飛行時間は5分程でしたが大満足でした！
他の参加者の方とも戻ってきたらハイタッチしたりお互いに写真を撮りあって終わったあとにAirDropで送りあったり、その日の夜にたまたま飲食店で再会し少しお話できたり素敵な出会にもなりました！
酔い止めは必須です！
他3組が飛んでいる間は船で待機なのですが結構揺れるので酔います…
酔い止めを飲んで行ったのですが、それでも気持ち悪くなりました…

During Dinner Everyone So Kind and Nice !! We had our baby and a stroller and they went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. They were extra kind to our little one. A good family vibe.
For most of our group this was their first time snorkeling. Ryan was so patient, helpful and supportive, and gave great instructions — we highly recommend snorkeling in the Magic Island Lagoon for first timers. And with Ryan’s excellent support, videos of our experience, and patience we all had an awesome time. Be sure to heed the 30 minutes early arrival as we had a difficult time finding them (no sign) but they were near life station 1G which should be communicated in advance. We still got started right on time so it all worked out.
It's recommended as a kind of activity since you can enjoy sightseeing while feeling the wind. If you only consider transportation, the bus is cheaper, has more routes, and longer operating hours.
風を感じながら観光できるので、一種のアクティビティとしてはオススメ
移動手段だけで考えるとthe busの方が値段も安く、路線も多く、営業時間も長いです

We purchased tickets for the show only but walked past the all-you-can-eat buffet and I must say, it looked very good.
The show was very entertaining and well worth the money. I'd recommend this to anyone.
