All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

Every year in Hawaii, I make it a point to spend the last night on a catamaran sunset cruise. With the stunning backdrop of the sunset shining on Waikiki and Diamond Head, it’s the perfect view to enjoy while sipping delicious Mai Tais, marking the end of my trip. The thrill of being on a small boat adds to the experience, and the crew members create a lively atmosphere, making it a truly enjoyable time.

毎年ハワイ 最後の夜はカタマラン号のサンセットクルーズと決めています。
夕陽に輝くワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに最高の景色と美味しいマイタイに酔いしれて旅の終わりとなります。
小型船ならではのスリルも楽しみながら
クルーの方々も陽気に雰囲気を盛り上げて下さりとても楽しいひと時です。

Last year, we took a boat ride for the Friday fireworks, but my family was definitely happier with the sunset! The view from the sea and the ocean breeze are truly experiences unique to being on a yacht.

昨年は金曜日の花火に乗船しましたが、断然サンセットの方が良かったと家族も大喜び!やはり海側からの景色や海風はヨットならではの経験と言えます。

I was a little disappointed that we didn't land in the water for some reason, but my first parasailing experience was very enjoyable. I recommend going for 150 meters! I usually get motion sickness, but thanks to taking motion sickness medicine, I was totally fine with the boat's rocking!

なぜか着水してくれなかったのが少しだけ残念でしたが、初めてのパラセイリング体験はとても楽しかったです。150mがオススメです！普段乗り物酔いする私ですが、酔い止めを飲んでいたおかげか、船の揺れは全然平気でした！

My sister in-law was visiting town with her friends and she wanted to go on a booze cruise. I came across this cruise and we couldn't have chosen a better cruise to go on. The crew was very friendly and awesome, frequently coming up to us to ask if we needed another drink. Drinks were delicious. Unlimited Mai Tai! Sunset was beautiful. Boat was clean and easy to locate right off of the beach. I would highly recommend this cruise for anyone who is looking to drink and have a good time. Very affordable. I will definitely be referring this cruise to all my families and friends who will be visiting in the future.

We participated with two elementary school students and two adults, a total of four people. Our reservation was for 1 PM, but we had to wait about 40 minutes for the previous canoe to return. However, the staff member who spoke Japanese at the reception said, "You can wait in the pool at the Royal Hawaiian," so we were lucky to wait while playing in the pool, keeping the kids entertained.

We experienced the canoe with three families from the West and our group of four. In addition to a friendly captain, one of the staff members who spoke Japanese joined us, which made us feel safe and allowed us to enjoy the experience. The kids just sat in the canoe without paddles. When I asked, "Can we take pictures while on the canoe?" they replied, "You can take pictures without paddles," so I also took pictures without a paddle and enjoyed canoe surfing to my heart's content. Although we were told we could ride the waves twice, we were lucky enough to ride three times, which left us very satisfied.

We had a fantastic time at a reasonable price, and the whole family enjoyed it. I highly recommend it!

小学生2人と大人2人の4人で参加しました。
13時～の予約でしたが、前の回のカヌーが戻ってくるのを待っていて40分ほど待ち時間があったとおもいます。
しかし受付の日本語のできるスタッフの方が「（ロイヤルハワイアンの）プールに入って待ってていいよ」とのことでしたので、プールで遊びながら待っていたので子供達も飽きずに待ててラッキーでした。

カヌーは、欧米のファミリー三人と私たち四人が一緒に体験しました。感じの良いキャプテンの他に、先程の日本語のできるスタッフの一人も入ってくれて安心して楽しめました。
子供はオールは持たずに乗るだけ。 「カヌーに乗って写真を撮っても良いか？」と聞いたら、「オールなしなら写真撮れるよ」とのことだったので、私もオールはなしで 思う存分写真を撮りながらカヌーサーフィンを体験させていただきました。
波に乗れるのは２回とのことでしたが、またまたラッキーな事に3回も乗らせて頂き大満足です。

手頃な値段で、家族みんなが楽しめて最高の時間が過ごせました。
おすすめです！

Thank you for your assistance this time. Perhaps due to it being the Obon season, there were many participants, and after watching the video and having a lesson on land, we were left relatively unattended, finishing in about an hour and a half instead of the two hours promised. There was also no proper guidance regarding the return transportation, leaving us wondering if that was it!?

I think it may depend on the number of participants, but I felt disappointed that I couldn't experience a sense of fulfillment, and it felt like I wasted my valuable time during my stay.

この度はお世話になりました。
お盆の時期だったためか参加人数も多かったこともあり、ビデオを見て、陸でレッスンして、あとは割と放置気味で2時間どころか全体で1時間半位で終了。帰りの送迎に対してもきちんとした案内もなく、これで終わり⁉︎という感じでした。
参加人数等にもよるのかと思いますが、充実感を感じられることなく終わってしまい、貴重な滞在時間を無駄にしてしまった感じでとても残念でした。

It was a general seating area, but I was able to see quite well. The food was delicious too. The staff were cheerful and made it enjoyable.

一般席でしたが、十分近くで見ることが出来ました。料理も美味しかったです。スタッフさんも陽気で楽しませてくれました。

It shakes quite a bit! It's better to take precautions against seasickness for peace of mind.

The pickup was 15 minutes late, which made me very anxious, but I really enjoyed the activity itself! I didn't check the usual tipping rates and ended up giving a very small tip, so I felt quite sorry about it later.

かなり揺れます！
船酔い対策していた方が安心でしょう。

ピックアップは15分遅れで
とても不安になりましたが
アクティビティ自体はとても楽しめました！
チップの相場を調べておらず
かなり少ない額のチップしか渡せなかったので
後々とても申し訳ない気持ちになりました。

This time, I went to Hawaii with my grandparents and kids, making it a three-generation trip. We signed up for activities that were suitable for toddlers, and since the reviews were good, it turned out to be the best memory. My daughter got seasick and was a bit down, but my son, although scared, enjoyed sitting in the driver's seat. The adults had some alcohol and got really excited! I was also curious about the sunset, but I was really pumped in the morning!

今回おじいちゃんおばぁちゃんと、子連れで、３世代でのハワイでした。
幼児から参加可能なアクティビティで、口コミも良かったので、申し込んだところ、最高の思い出になりました。
娘は船酔いしてテンション低めでしたが、息子も怖がりつつも、運転席に座らせてもらったり、楽しんでいました。
大人はアルコールも入って盛り上がりました！！
サンセットも気になるけど、朝一でテンション上がりました！

I made a reservation for 120 meters, and I think it was indeed 120 meters, but I felt a thrill and excitement that made it feel even higher. Ultimately, if you get friendly with the captain, he seems willing to accommodate requests on a whim. This is because the operation of the parasailing (managing the wires and adjusting the boat's speed) depends on the captain's skills, and in my case, it was outstanding (he operated the boat while singing along to the background music!).

Both the captain and the crew member were locals, and they could understand some basic Japanese, while basic English was also sufficient for communication.

Another memorable aspect was the Japanese person who provided transportation. He had a slightly suspicious vibe with his broken Japanese, but it was amusing, and he was quite kind, which made for a good memory in a way.

One point to note is that the boat goes quite fast and can be quite bumpy (the parasailing itself can also be shaky), so if you are prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.

120mで予約して、結局120mだったとは思いますが、それ以上の高さを感じるほど楽しさとスリルを味わえました。
結局は船長さんと仲良くなれば、ノリでリクエストに答えてくれる感じがありました。というのもパラセイリングの操作(ワイヤーの操作、ボートの速度調整)は船長の操船技術次第ですが、私の時は抜群でした。(BGM流し歌いながらボートを運航！）
船長、クルー(１名)いずれも現地の方でしたが、片言の日本語は通じますし、片言の英語でも十分通じます。
また他に印象的だったのは、送迎の日系の方です。片言の日本語で若干胡散臭い感じがしたのですが、それがまた面白く、それでいて結構親切で、ある意味良い思い出となりました。
注意点としては、ボートが速度も出て結構揺れるので、(パラセイリング自体も揺れますが）、酔いやすい方は、酔い止めは必須と思います。

On the day of the event, due to traffic regulations, the pickup from the hotel was changed to a pickup about a 10-minute walk away. Parasailing is an activity unique to resort areas, so I think it will be a memorable experience. The scenery was also incredibly beautiful.

当日、交通規制があったためホテルピックアップではなく10分くらい歩いたところからの送迎に変更になりました。
パラセーリングはリゾート地ならではのアクティビティなので、思い出に残ると思います。
景色もすごく綺麗でした。

It's a good idea to have a light jacket since it's windy. Depending on where you sit, you might get splashed by the waves, but that was fun. I was able to get a refill on my Mai Tai, and I also enjoyed some chips. The sunset was amazing!

風にあたるので羽織ものはあったほうがいいです。
座る場所によっては波をかぶります、でもそれが楽しかったです。
マイタイのお替りもでき、チップスもいただきました。
サンセット最高‼

The sea was more beautiful than I expected, and I could see fish, sunken ships, and planes very clearly. I was also able to encounter a sea turtle, which was great. However, not only the submarine but also the boat to get there swayed quite a bit, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be prepared.

思っていた以上に海がキレイで、魚や沈んだ船や飛行機などよく見えました。海ガメにも出会えたし良かったです。ただ、潜水艦だけでなくそこまで行くための船もかなり揺れますので乗り物酔いされる方は相応の覚悟が必要かと。

We participated as a family of four. Since we chose the 150m option, it felt quite high and gave the impression of going far up. The boat crew was cheerful, and we had a great time. Yano, who provided our transportation, was the best. We had a bit of time before boarding, but during the wait, we were told to cool off in the car, and after docking, they offered us drinks, showing great hospitality.

One thing to note is that the boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is a must. Even so, both of my adult daughters were feeling unwell.

家族４人で参加しました。150ｍにしたので、相当高く、遠くまで上がった印象です。ボートのクルーも明るく、楽しめました。送迎してくれたヤノさんは最高です。乗船まで少し時間があったのですが、待機時間中は車の中で涼んでおいてと言われたり、寄港後は飲み物をくれたりサービス精神満載でした。
一点だけ、ボートが相当揺れるので酔い止め必須です。それでも娘二人（成人）はダウン状態でした。

I had a great time.
It was fun to watch the fireworks from the boat without any swaying.
The meeting place was a bit hard to find.
I asked the Japanese concierge at the Sheraton Hotel for directions and managed to make it on time.
It got a bit wet when the waves became strong while boarding the boat, but it's a good memory.

とても楽しかったです。
船の上から花火を見れて揺れもなく楽しかったです。
集合場所が少しわかりにくかったです。
シェラトンホテルの日本語コンシェルジュに場所を聞いてなんとか待ち合わせ時間に間に合いました。
船に乗る時に波が強くなってまあまあ濡れましたがいい思い出です。

I signed up for the dinner package. The quality of the course was excellent, with a generous amount of food that I couldn't finish. The show, featuring Michael and the dancers, was full of spirit and enthusiasm. I had come to see it with my mother 30 years ago. Even after 30 years, the show has not lost its charm. I want to go again.

ディナー付きで申し込みました。食べきれない量で質の良いコースがとても満足でした。ショーはマイケルはもちろんダンサーの方々のサービス精神旺盛。30年前に母と見にきたことがありました。30年経っても色あせないショー。また行きたいです。

My husband and I participated together. It was both of our first time parasailing, and we were nervous, but once we tried it, we talked about how glad we were to be flying (o^^o). It was such a great experience, so I highly recommend it as a memory of Hawaii! ☆

旦那と二人で参加しました。
二人ともパラセーリングは初めてでドキドキでしたが、いざやってみて飛んでる間やってよかったねと話しました(o^^o)
とても良い体験なのでハワイの思い出におすすめしますっ☆

It was the best honeymoon!
This time, I participated in the 150m experience.
The boat driver was friendly and had a great vibe, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
Also, the person at the reception counter spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して参加する事が出来ました.
We gathered directly at the yacht harbor, but there were no large, clear signs for Beltra, so I think it would be better if there were more prominent signs displayed.

最高の新婚旅行になりました♪
今回150mで参加させてもらいました。
船の運転手の人も気さくな人で、いい感じのテンションでさらにを飛ぶ事が出来ました。
あと、受け付けカウンターの人も日本語が出来る方だったので、安心して参加する事が出来ました。
私達はヨットハーバーに直接集合でしたが、ベルトラ などの看板が無かったので大きくわかりやすい看板が表示したらもっと良いと思いました。

I never expected to be taken all the way to the back side of Diamond Head, so I am very satisfied. I've been to Hawaii many times, and while I've used dinner cruises before, this was my first sailing experience! I was very pleased. We were the only Japanese people there, but we had a great time.

まさかダイアモンドヘッドの裏側まで行ってもらえると思わなかったのでとても満足しています
何度もハワイに来ていますが、ディナークルーズは利用したことがありますがセイリングは初めて！大満足です
日本人は、私たちだけでしたがとても楽しかったです

The boarding area was changed, so we walked a bit, but the beer on the boat tasted even better because of it. Since we were with a group of foreigners, we all got excited together. The refreshing sea breeze after the sails were raised was wonderful. I was also captivated by the staff's performance of catching fish. It became a great memory on the first day in Hawaii.

乗り場が変更となり少し歩きましたがその分船上のビールがとても美味しく感じました。
外人さんの団体さんと一緒だったので一緒にテンション上がりました。帆が上がったあとの潮風の気持ち良いこと〰️。スタッフの人が魚を釣り上げるパフォーマンス？にも釘付けになりました。Hawaii初日に良い想い出となりました

I arrived a little early, and I was grateful for the prompt assistance. The treatment was pleasant, and the scheduled time flew by in no time.

少し早めについたのですが、すぐに対応頂けてありがたかったです。施術も気持ちよくあっという間に予定の時間が過ぎていきました。

Crew was great and the boat itself was really cool but it was so choppy when you got on the water it was hard to enjoy the trip. You couldn’t stand up without falling over and if your prone to any type of motion sickness, it’s game over. The crew was so helpful though! JJ helped me to the back of the boat, got me and my party ice chips, and continued to check on us through the whole trip. Super nice but not the right weather sadly.

My 8-year-old daughter, who is quite timid, had an amazing time! We took motion sickness medication beforehand, so I was relieved that she didn't get seasick. Two women who were on the tour with us ended up vomiting on the way back, so for those who are worried, taking motion sickness medication is a must!

ビビリの8歳の娘もめちゃくちゃ楽しめました！酔い止めも飲んでいったので、心配した船酔いも大丈夫でした。ツアーで一緒になった女性2名は、帰りに吐いていたので、心配な人は酔い止め必須です！

I had done parasailing in Guam before, but since it was my husband's first time, we participated together!! We were both super excited!! The view of Honolulu's skyline and Diamond Head from above the ocean was thrilling!! My husband seemed a bit scared (laughs). I was dropped into the sea about three times, but it felt great for a moment!! Mahalo!!

パラセーリングは、グアムでもやったことがありましたが、夫が初めてということで参加しました！！2人で大興奮！！海の上から見るホノルルの街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドにも大興奮！！夫は少し怖かったようです（笑）途中で3回程海に落とされたけど一瞬で気持ちよかったです！！マハロ〜！！

We watched a show for the first time as a family of four. Michael Jackson, who was right on target for my student days in the 1980s, truly impressed us with his lifelike singing and dancing. The final fire show was also very impressive. It was the best show where we could enjoy both a Hawaiian vibe and a concert atmosphere. My young children in kindergarten and early elementary school were a bit confused about who he was, so I think I’d like to repeat this experience by myself next time.

家族4人で初めてショーを観ました。1980年代の学生時代にどんぴしゃのマイケル・ジャクソンは、まさに本物そっくりの歌・踊りに感動でした。
最後のファイアーショーも見応え十分です。ハワイアンな気分とコンサートの気分を味わえる最高のショーでした。幼稚園・小学低学年の子供は、あれ誰？という感じでしたので、次回は私一人でリピートしたいと思います

I had a wonderful time enjoying a peaceful evening! The scenery was amazing, and the delicious drinks made for an even more fantastic escape from everyday life!

夕方の穏やかなひとときを楽しく過ごせました！景色も最高、美味しくお酒も楽しため更に素敵な非日常を大満喫でした！

The crew was very attentive. From the moment we were greeted at the dock to the end of the cruise they were very personable and engaging. Great music and food. Overall, an outstanding experience for me and my significant other. Highly recommended!

Ok, it was a boat ride. However, it was the first thing we did and it allowed us to get on the water in a large catamaran. It allowed us to meet other people and the crew was great. Saw a turtle! Great view from the water back on the city. Great way to start the week.

I heard from other reviews that the meeting place was hard to find, so I went early to check it out. There were no staff members who spoke Japanese, so I was a bit anxious about the check-in, but I managed to get through it somehow. There were no other Japanese guests among the other passengers, but we all enjoyed riding the waves together, which is a universal joy. I didn't order any drinks. At one point, I felt a bit seasick and got cold, but overall, I had a great time.

集合場所がわかりづらいと他の方のレビューであったので、早めに行ってみました。
日本語を話せるスタッフがいないので、受付は不安でしたがなんとなくクリア。乗り合わせた他のお客さんに日本人はいなかったですが、波に乗り上げて盛り上がるのは万国共通で楽しみました。
飲み物は頼みませんでした。
途中、船酔いしそうになったり寒くなったりしましたが、トータルの感想は楽しかったです。

We went oemanu Kai sunset cruise with our 2 teens. We had a great time, and the crew was great! We didn’t get to see the sunset, but it was cloudy. Other than that, it was wonderful!
