All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

We want to thank Mani Kai for a wonderful time! Not only did we see turtles and plenty of fish, but we saw pods of spinner dolphins and whales as well. The views of the Island from the ocean are beautiful. You will enjoy about 1.5 hours of snorkeling. We brought our own snacks and beverages. The captain and his mate were extremely attentive to the needs of the group. We really enjoyed ourselves. This is a must do for couples or Families with older children. This experience was of great value. Thank you!

We were the only Japanese people. We flew in with participants from various countries, and both the captain and the staff were friendly. They were great at getting everyone excited, and it was a lot of fun! Above all, the view of Waikiki from the sky was beautiful.

日本人は私達だけでした。
各国の参加者と飛んできましたが、キャプテンもスタッフも気さく。盛り上がるのも上手で楽しかったです！何より、空からのワイキキも美しかったです。

I participated on February 4th, and to sum it up, it was amazing. On that day, we gathered at the shop inside the Queen Kapiolani Hotel on the east side at 8:35 AM. There were no Japanese employees at the shop, but they were accustomed to dealing with Japanese customers, and there were conversations with jokes in Japanese as well as signs in Japanese, so there was no need to worry if you can't speak English. We drove about three minutes from the shop to the beach right in front of the zoo. I was staying at the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, but it was only about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to the beach, so my wife and others walked from the hotel to the beach. On that day, I didn't surf, but a total of six people participated, including my 16-year-old daughter, a Japanese family, and a Korean couple. Since it was my daughter's first time surfing, we requested a private lesson. This was the right choice. In a group, there is one instructor for every five people, which reduces the number of times you can catch a wave, but with a one-on-one lesson, there are frequent opportunities to ride the waves. Thanks to this, my daughter was able to enjoy surfing frequently and surprisingly quickly. After finishing, we returned to the shop, where they showed us images taken by a drone. There were both videos and still images, and for those interested in purchasing, they send the data for $50. The images were not just of my daughter; they included all participants, with about 300 still images and around 30 short videos. After paying, the data was sent to my specified iPhone at the shop in about 30 minutes. Including the tip, it is certainly not a cheap tour, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime memory. It felt very affordable to me.

2月4日に参加しましたが、結論から言いますと、最高でした。当日は朝8時35分に東側にあるクイーンカピオラニホテル内のショップに集合しました。店の従業員には日本人はいませんでしたが、日本人の扱いに慣れておられ、日本語でのジョークを交えた会話もあり、日本語での表示もあり、英語ができなくても心配はいりません。ショップから車で３分程走り、動物園の目の前のビーチに移動しました。私はアストンワイキキビーチタワーに宿泊していましたが、ホテルからビーチまで歩いて10分程度の距離のため、妻達はホテルから歩いてビーチまで来ました。当日、私はサーフィンをしませんでしたが、16歳の娘、日本人親子、韓国の男女と合計6名が参加しました。娘はサーフィン初めてのこともあり、プライベートでお願いしました。これが正解でした。やはりグループですと、コンダクター1人につき5人なので、波に乗れる回数が減るんですが、マンツーマンですと、頻繁に波に乗る機会があるんです。その甲斐もあって驚くほどはやく、娘は波乗りを頻繁に楽しんでました。終了後、ショップに戻り、ドローンで撮影した画像を見せてくれます。動画、静止画あって購入希望者は50ドルでデータ送信してくれます。娘1人が撮影されているものではなく、参加者全員が撮影されたもので静止画で300カット、短い動画で30カット位ありました。お金を支払うと30分程度でショップで指定した私のiPhoneに送信されてきました。チップ代を含めると決して安いツアーではありませんが一生の思い出。わたしにはとても安く感じました。

The instructor was very kind and amazing! I want to ride again! I will definitely make a reservation the next time I come to Hawaii!

インストラクターに方がとても親切で最高でした！
また乗りたいです！
次にハワイ来た時も必ず予約します！

I had an absolutely wonderful time! A pod of dolphins came close to us. The yacht staff were very lively, took photos for us, and engaged with us Japanese guests, making it a fun experience! Thank you for the lovely time!

最高に楽しい時間でした！イルカの群れも寄ってきてくれました。ヨットのお姉さん達もとっても元気で写真を撮ってくれたり、私達日本人にも声をかけてくれて楽しませてくれました！ステキな時間をありがとうございました！

The parasailing time is about 10 minutes. Gradually, you rise higher. The view from above was amazing. When descending, there is no feeling like a roller coaster; you come down slowly, so it's not scary at all.

パラセイリングの時間は10分程度。
徐々に高さが上がっていきます。
上からの眺めが最高でした。
降りる際もジェットコースターのような
フワッと感は一切なく
ゆっくりと降りていくので怖くないです。

For the first time, I went paragliding at 150 meters! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
The staff's upbeat energy got me super excited, and off we went! The sensation of rising higher and higher was pure fun. Once we reached the top, it felt amazing to just float without being buffeted by the wind. The view of Waikiki was breathtaking! ( *¯ ³¯*)
If I had to mention one thing, the photos turned out dark due to backlighting, so next time I’ll definitely try in the afternoon!
*They advise not to bring valuables, but if you want to get images on an SD card, it costs $30, so you'll need to tip plus the $30.* (o^▽^o)

150mで初のﾊﾟﾗｾｲﾘﾝｸﾞ‎‎‎٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و
StaffのノリノリなﾃﾝｼｮﾝにわくわくがMaxになりいざ出発！！ぐんぐん上がる感覚は楽しいそのもの。上がりきると風にあおられることもなく、ただふわふわと浮いてる感じで最高でした！！ﾜｲｷｷを一望出来るさまは圧巻‎( *¯ ³¯*)
しいていえば、逆光で出来上がりの写真が暗かったので、次回は是非午後に挑戦します！！
※貴重品は持たないようにとありますが、SDｶｰﾄﾞで画像をもらう場合は＄30かかりますので、ﾁｯﾌﾟ+＄30が必要になります‎(o^▽^o)

The crew was awesome. The drinks were flowing and the views were spectacular! If you get sea sick I would recommend some medication!

The vibe of the young women from the American tourist group was fantastic, and everyone on the yacht was having a great time. The crew also joined in with music and a DJ, making it entertaining. The sunset viewed from the boat was amazing. I highly recommend it.

若い女性のアメリカンツーリストグループのノリが最高でヨット全員が盛り上がっていて楽しめた。
クルーも音楽やＤＪで一緒にエンジョイして盛り上げてくれ面白かった。
船上からみる夕日が最高でした。おすすめします。

First, the buffet.
While listening to the ukulele performance and singing, I enjoyed about 17 types of delicious meats, salads, and desserts.
I was very satisfied to be able to eat three types of meat: chicken, pork, and beef.
After that, we went to the second-floor seating for the rock and hula show.
Being close to the stage, I was very satisfied to experience various performances all at once, including hula dancing, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing.
Since the show venue is cool in the evening, I think it's a good idea to have a long-sleeved cover-up.

まずは、ビュッフェ。
ウクレレの演奏と歌を聞きながら、美味しいお肉やサラダ、デザートを17種類ほど頂きました。
鳥、豚、牛と3種類のお肉を食べれてすごく満足です。
その後、2階席でロックアフラショー。
舞台からも近くフラダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアダンスと様々なショーを一度に体験でき非常に満足でした。
夕方くらいからの外食でショーの室内も涼しいので長袖の羽織るものがあると良いと思います。

This event provided insight into a variety of cultural dancing all in one sitting. It was incredible to hear the stories and rich history of the people today and in the past. The MC engaged the audience. The buffet was a great spread for people with food preferences and allergies. It provided great value for the money spent. Only wish was having the opportunity to experience this outdoors. It would have been much more of an experience.

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but it was fun! There were no other Japanese people among the guests I rode with, but everyone was nice and talked to me a lot. I chose the 150-meter option, and the parasailing itself was refreshing and great, but it took quite a long time to get to the spot on the boat, and the boat was rocking a lot, which was scarier.

初めてのパラセイリングで緊張しましたが、楽しかったです！一緒に乗ったお客さんの中に日本人は誰もいなかったですが、いい人ばかりでみんなたくさん話かけてくれました。150メートルを選んで、パラセイリング自体は爽快でよかったのですが、そのスポットに行くまでけっこう長い時間ボートに乗って、そのボートがめちゃくちゃ揺れてそっちの方が怖かったです。

I participated with my 6-year-old and 3-year-old children.
We joined the 2nd-floor buffet dinner plan. Check-in was on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and we were guided to the buffet seats in order of arrival. To avoid crowding, we were seated at tables in sequence. While waiting for the buffet, we were entertained with hula shows and ukulele performances, which was a nice touch.
The buffet included not only salads and fruits but also hearty dishes like whole roasted pig and roast beef. In the latter part of the meal, there were small cakes, sorbet, coffee, and tea, so we could enjoy a complete dining experience. The Mai Tai cocktail that came with the buffet could be substituted with fruit juice for children or those who prefer non-alcoholic options, and it was delicious.

After finishing the meal, we moved to the show in order. Although we were seated near the back, the venue was large and elevated, making it easy to see. The show featured a variety of performances, from basic hula dancing to Elvis, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing, providing an enjoyable experience. The children had fun, even if they didn’t fully understand everything.
During the show, it was dark and the sound was loud, which caused some little babies to cry, but it was entertainment that everyone, from adults to children, could enjoy. At the end of the show, they were happy to let us take photos with our smartphones and cameras, allowing us to enjoy the experience until the very end.

6歳と3歳子供を連れて参加しました。
2階ブッフェディナープラン
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階にて受付、受付順にブッフェ席へ。ブッフェは混みあわないようテーブル順に案内されます。ブッフェ待ちの間はフラショーやウクレレで歌や踊りでおもてなしされ配慮されていました。
ブッフェにはサラダやフルーツのほかにも豚の丸焼きやローストビーフなど、ボリュームのある食事もあります。後半には小さなケーキとソルベ、コーヒー、紅茶もあるのでひととおりの食事をいただくことができます。
ブッフェのセットについてくるマイタイカクテルも子供やノンアルコールの方はフルーツジュースにしてもらえるので、こちらもおいしかった。

食事が終わった方から順にショーへ移動。案内されたのはほぼ最後列でしたが、会場は大きくても高さがあるので見やすかったです。ベーシックなフラダンスから、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンス等、バラエティーに富んで楽しめる構成でした。子供たちもわからないなりに楽しんでいました。
ショーの間は暗いし、音も大きいので小さな赤ちゃんは泣いていましたが笑、大人から子供まで楽しめるエンターテインメントでした。ショー終わりで自分のスマホやカメラで写真も快く撮影してくれるので最後まで楽しめます。

It was a very pleasant sunset cruise. Enjoying drinks while taking in the beautiful scenery and music made for a wonderful memory on my last day in Waikiki. I definitely want to use this service again when I visit Waikiki. Highly recommended!

サンセットとても気持ちのいいクルーズでした。
お酒を飲みながら　素敵な景色に音楽　ワイキキ最終日に予約してとてもよい思い出になりました。また、ワイキキを訪れた時にはぜひ利用したいです。
とてもおすすめです。

The flight arrived 4 hours late, and I changed the scheduled time. I was grateful for their willingness to accommodate me. It helped me recover from the fatigue of a long journey. It's conveniently located, so even first-time visitors to Hawaii can easily find it.

フライト到着が4時間遅れ、指定の時間を変更しました。快く応じてくださり助かりました。長旅後の疲れが取れます。便利な場所にありますので、初ハワイの方でも迷わず行けます。

I had heard that the meeting place was hard to find, but following the guidebook led me there without any issues. We took off our shoes at the beach and climbed the stairs to the catamaran. The waves came in, and my daughter got wet up to her knees. Whether you get wet or not depends on the timing, I guess. The conversation between the cool bartender and the captain was enjoyable, and the music really enhanced the sunset experience. We even saw a whale jump and a big rainbow, which made me feel incredibly happy. It was a tour that definitely deserves the highest ratings from everyone. I would love to participate again if I come back to Hawaii. I think it would be even more fun if I could speak English.

集合場所がわかりにくいと情報から聞いていたのですが、案内書通りにいくと問題なく到着。靴を海岸で脱がされ双胴船の階段登って行きました。波が来て娘は膝上まで濡れてました。濡れる濡れないは、タイミングかな。かっこいいバーテンダーのお姉さんと船長さんの会話も楽しく音楽もサンセットを盛り上げてくれます。鯨のジャンプもみれたし大きな虹も見れすごく幸せな気分でした。みんなが最高と評価するのも当然っておもえるツアーでした。再びハワイに来ても参加したいと思いました。英語が話せるともっと楽しいだろうなあ。

The view was amazing! I thought I might get wet in the sea at the end, but it was just my toes, which was fine! I was very satisfied to see dolphins too!

眺め最高でした！
最後海で濡れるかなと思いましたが足先だけで良かったです！
イルカも見れて大満足でした！

I thought we would be flying on something like a chair, but it was just a rope, which was scary at first, but it was safe. Since there were six groups sharing the ride, the waiting time was long, which is a downside, but the breeze felt nice and it was a good experience. I think taking motion sickness medication is essential because the boat moves quite a bit.

椅子の様なものに乗って飛ぶのかと思ったら、紐だけで最初は怖かったが安全でした。
6組が乗り合わせだったので、待つ時間が長いのが欠点ですが風が気持ちよくて良い体験でした。
かなり、船の移動が揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。

Experience 150 meters!
The view is amazing, and it's not scary at all! Looking down is a little scary, though... (laughs)
We were flying in the sky for about 5 minutes!!
It was fun!

Since there were four other groups with us, we spent quite a bit of time on the boat. I recommend taking motion sickness medication! The boat ride felt like a kind of attraction, and I enjoyed it!

150mを体験！
とても眺めがよくて、全然怖くありません！下を見れば少しだけ怖いけど…(笑)
5分くらい空を飛んでます！！
楽しかったです！

私たちの他に4組の方と一緒だったので、ボートに乗ってる時間の方が結構長いです。酔い止めを飲むことをオススメします！ボートも一種のアトラクションのようで私は楽しかったです！

This is my fifth time in Hawaii, but this time I'm here with my daughter who is visiting for the first time, so when you think of Hawaii, you think of hula dancing. I wanted my daughter to experience the beauty of Hawaii, so I chose a rock fusion hula show. We opted for the buffet dinner, and to sum it up, we were very satisfied.

Around 6:00 PM, we went to the Royal Hawaiian Center on the fourth floor to exchange our vouchers for entry stickers, which we placed on our chests. While waiting near the entrance, we were already welcomed by hula dancing. After that, we were invited into the tent based on the stickers we had on our chests, where we were shown to our seats. We were asked if we wanted two types of welcome cocktails and whether we wanted alcohol or not. Those who looked young were asked to show their passports. In the U.S., it's not allowed to serve alcohol to anyone under 21, so it's necessary to carry your passport. My daughter is 23, but she was still asked to show hers.

When the time came, we toasted and went to get food from the buffet. There was a whole roasted pig and various other dishes, and I got a bit greedy and couldn't finish everything. The food was delicious, and we were thoroughly satisfied while enjoying hula dancing during the meal.

After finishing our meal, we were guided inside the building to move to the second-floor seating. If you go to the guide early, you can sit in the front row of the second-floor seats, which offers a great view and is a good deal. The show featured various styles of hula dancing, impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and it was a lot of fun. It was a great value. My daughter initially came with the mindset of just accompanying her dad, but she ended up enjoying the meal and the hula dancing, and she was very satisfied with the fun show.

I also thought that if my late mother had seen this show during our last overseas tour in Hawaii four years ago, she would have been even happier. In any case, I highly recommend it.

5回目のハワイですが、今回はハワイが初めての娘と一緒なのでハワイと言えばフラダンス。娘にハワイの良さを感じさせたいとロックと融合したロック:ア：フラショーを選びました。ビュッフェディナーを選びました。結論から言えば大満足でした。6:00頃会場のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階に行ってバウチャーと入場シールを交換して胸に貼って入口付近で待っているとフラダンスをして早くも和ませていただきました。その後ビュッフェディナーの我々は胸に貼ったシールを見てテントに招き入れられそこで席に案内されて着席。ウェルカムのカクテル二種類とアルコール入りか？無しか？を聞かれて若く見える人はパスポートの提示を求められます。アメリカでは21歳以外だった？にはアルコールを提供してはならないので当然ですがパスポートは携帯しておくことが必要です。娘は23歳ですが当然？提示を求められました。やがて時間が来ると乾杯してブッフェの料理を取ります。豚さんのの丸焼きや色々有って私は欲張ってあれこれ入れて、少し食べきれませんでした。味もよくお食事しながらフラダンスを食事会場でしてくれて充分に満足出来ました。
食事が終わると建物内に誘導されて二階席に移ります。
早め早めに、誘導する人の元に行って食事も建物への移動もすれば二階席の最前列席に座れるので非常に見易くお得です。ショーも色々趣向を変えたフラダンス、エルビスのそっくりさんやマイケルジャクソンが時間をかけて色々出てくるので楽しかったです。お値打ちがあります。娘は当初はお父さんにお付き合い程度の意識で来ましたが、食事やその時のフラダンスで結構満足して、楽しいショーも見れて大満足していました。私も前回4年前のハワイは亡くなった母親と一緒の最後の海外ツアーでしたが、このショーを見せてあげれば更に喜んだだろうと想いました。ともかくお勧めです。

I visit Hawaii every year, and I make it a must to experience the Friday night fireworks sailing. It's incredibly refreshing, the all-you-can-drink Mai Tais are delicious, and the fireworks are beautifully visible. I prefer this size of yacht over a large boat; you can feel the gentle sway, the wind, and the splashes of water, which really makes you feel like you're in Hawaii.

毎年ハワイに来ていますが、金曜日の花火鑑賞セーリングは必須イベントにしています。最高に爽快で、飲み放題のマイタイも美味しいし、花火もきれいに見えます。セーリングは大型の船より、これぐらいのヨットがいいですね、程よい揺れや、風や水しぶきを感じられるし、ハワイにきている実感が感じられます。

I tried parasailing for the first time in Hawaii. It was so much fun flying over the beautiful ocean. However, I think it's essential for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication.

ハワイで初めてのパラセーリングに挑戦しました。綺麗な海の上を飛べて、とても楽しかったです。ただ船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めが必須だと思います。

Overall, it was great.
The captain, especially Google, made it feel like we were truly experiencing Hawaii.
The free drink service was also excellent and top-notch.
The sunset sailing became my greatest memory, and I want to go again.

とにかく良かった。
キャプテンは、特にGoogle
これぞ、ハワイを感じることができた。
フリードリンクのサービスも、申し分なく最高だった。
セーリングでのサンセットは最大の思い出になりました、また行きたいです。

I participated in January and brought a long-sleeved cardigan and a bath towel, but the night on the boat was colder than I expected while barefoot. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, but since I can't drink alcohol, I wasn't in the mood for juice either because it was cold, so I thought it would be nice to have warm beverages available. Aside from the cold, it was truly wonderful, and I would definitely like to participate again if I go during a warmer season. The night view of Waikiki is still etched in my memory. For those sensitive to the cold during this time, I highly recommend dressing warmly.

参加したのは1月で、長袖のカーディガンと、バスタオルを持って行ったのですが、夜の船上は裸足のままで、思ったより寒かったです。
ドリンクも飲み放題でしたが、私はお酒も飲めないので、ジュースも寒くて飲む気分にもなれず、温かい飲み物もあると良いと思いました。
寒さを除けば、とても素晴らしかったので、もっと暖かい時期に行ったら、また是非参加したいと思います。
ワイキキの夜景がまだ目に焼き付いています。
この時期に行く寒さに敏感な方は、思い切り暖かい服装をおすすめします。

I think the show itself was enjoyable, so that was good! However, the meal was a bit different from what I had signed up for, which was a little disappointing! I believe crab was supposed to be included... The directions were unclear! I think it could have been prevented with some arrows!

ショー自体は楽しめたので良かったと思います!
食事は申し込んだ時とは少し違いがあったのでちょっとガッカリしました！カニが予定ではあったはずだったのですが…
案内が分かりにくかったです！矢印でも有れば防げたと思います!

It was such a great time and perfect day. I have done other catamaran cruises, and this one was the best.

I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.

潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!

It was great. The dancing was awesome and the food was great. One of the best Luau's I've been to.

It was great. Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Was hoping to see a Whale, but they were gone on the day we went.
