All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

The weather was nice, but unfortunately, clouds appeared just as the sun was setting on the horizon, so I couldn't see the beautiful sunset, which was very disappointing. The captain of the boat and the two staff members who were also the bartender were friendly and fun, but they didn't speak Japanese. However, since we weren't having difficult conversations, it was enough to enjoy the scenery while drinking and having fun on the yacht. This time, there were more waves than expected, and when we headed out to sea, it felt like a roller coaster, but that was enjoyable too.

お天気は良かったのに、太陽が水平線に沈む頃に雲が出てきてせっかくのサンセットが見られずとても残念でした。
船のキャプテンとクルー兼バーテンダーの2人のスタッフはフレンドリーで楽しい方でしたが、日本語は通じませんでした。ですが難しい話をする訳ではないので、景色を見ながらお酒を飲んでヨットを楽しむには十分です。
今回は思いの外、波のうねりがあり沖に向かって行く時はジェットコースターのようでしたがそれもまた楽しめました。

It was better than we thought it would be. We loved it.. recommend it!!!

I experienced the 120m plan. It was my first time parasailing, and flying over the beautiful ocean in Hawaii felt amazing. The location is also close to Waikiki, and since the duration is short, I recommend it because you can enjoy other activities or shopping afterward.

120mプランを体験しました。
パラセイリングは初めてでしたが、ハワイの綺麗な海の上を飛ぶのは最高に気持ちが良かったです。
体験場所もワイキキから近く、時間も短いので終わってから他のアクティビティや買物等楽しめるのでおススメです。

Best thing I did in Hawaii. Crew were amazing! Cornbin was my favourite (dude with the shredded 6 pack and sweet smile). The perfect way to see some beautiful turtles. Also great opportunity to sale the crystal clear waters. 10/10.

Purchased our VIP package from the outset it was a great night good food fantastic entertainment and a very lovely waitress all made it a very special evening. The costumes were amazing and singers and dancers excellent a true taste of Hawaii and its culture along with a lot of happy memories of different musical stars we have

Great boat and friendly crew, relaxing morning and turtles easily spotted. Highly recommended

Last time when I wanted to jump on a catamaran, it was fully booked, so this time I made a reservation in advance despite some concerns about the weather.

We departed from the bright beach and enjoyed the sunset on the water! On the way back, we experienced the beautiful night view of Honolulu.

It was truly wonderful since we can't see the sunset every day. The woman who prepared the drinks provided prompt service and even offered refills without us having to ask.

Indeed, Japanese was not spoken, but it was not a problem at all. There were no noisy people, and no one was standing on the net.

以前にカタマランに飛び込みで乗りたいと言った時は満席で断られたので今回は天気の不安もある中、事前予約しました。
まだ、明るいビーチを出発して、洋上でサンセット！帰る時にはホノルルの夜景と素晴らしい体験が出来ました。
毎日、サンセットを拝めるわけではないので本当によかったです。
飲み物を用意してくれた女性もテキパキとサービスしてくれてこちらから言わなくてもおかわりの催促をしてくれました。
確かに日本語は通じないけど、なんの問題もないです。
騒がしい方は全くいなくネットの上に乗る人もいませんでした。

I participated in the tour for my wife, who loves hula. The location was convenient, being close to the hotel and having a shopping mall nearby. Above all, the entertainment from the show was excellent.

フラ好きの女房の母親の為にツアーに参加しました。
場所がホテルから近くショッピングモールも有り便利でした。
何よりショーのエンターテイメントが最高でした。

My boyfriend and I got this to see the fireworks. It was amazing, drinks were good, vibe was great, service was perfect. Casual attire. Barefoot cruise. Any age would enjoy it. I would recommend this to everyone.

I was wondering if the food wouldn't be good because it's a buffet, but the quality is high! The whole roasted pig and roast beef are really delicious. The show was also amazing, and the venue was lively, it was the best!

ブュッフェだからご飯が美味しくないのかなーと思っていたら、質が高いです！豚の丸焼き、ローストビーフも本当に美味しい。ショーもすごく会場が盛り上がり最高でした！

This was my dads first dive in Hawaii while visiting and we could not have had a better morning diving with Divemaster Red! The first spot we dove for our deep dive was the Sea Tiger ship wreck which sits in about 115' of water yet is only about a half mile out. The wreck was full of life. We saw a big sea turtle, eels, a white tip reef shark and many different fish species including a frog fish. Our divemaster Red is insanely good at finding all kinds of difficult to spot marine life. There was also a few spots on the wreck that are opened up and safe to swim through if you are comfortable. The second spot we dove was the old Kewalo drain pipe. The visibility at this spot was absolutely perfect. There were so many different fish swimming around the reef. Red did not disappoint on this dive either! He found a tako (octopus) that we were able to take pictures of. He also found a few other rare, very difficult to find reef fish that I had never seen before! We couldn't have possibly enjoyed our time underwater more! The captain of the boat was hilarious keeping everyone entertained while top side. Due to the proximity of these awesome dive sites to the boat harbor it seemed like the longest amount of time spent on the boat was for our surface interval, which would be nice for those who get sea sick easily. Lucky for us, conditions were calm and perfect and we couldn't have had a better morning of diving. My best advice is to stay close to the Divemaster and pay close attention because they are looking for awesome things to show you that you would otherwise miss.

I think it was about an hour with each group lasting around 10 minutes. While waiting below, I thought 10 minutes would be short, but the time spent in the air during parasailing felt long. It was quite stable with little swaying, making it more comfortable than being on the boat. If the weather is good, the view is fantastic. I had some money with me for tips, but I was unsure how much to give.

1組10分程度で約1時間くらいだったと思います。
下で待っている間は10分は短いかなと思ってましたが、パラセイリングで上空にいる時間は長く感じました。揺れることも少なく安定していたのでボートより快適でした。
天気が良ければ景色も最高です。
持ち物に多少のお金とあり、チップ用ですがいくら渡したらよいのか迷いました。

We went parasailing at my husband's request. I wasn't sure about the height, but we chose the middle option of 120 meters. It felt great to speed across the water on the boat, and it was enjoyable to watch the other passengers flying as well. Flying ourselves was truly the best experience. During the descent, we playfully dipped into the water, which also became a nice memory.

夫の希望でパラセイリングへ。高さはよくわからなかったけど、中間の１２０M にしました。
ボートで風を切って走っていくのも気持ちいいですし、同乗者の方が飛んでいるのを見ているのも気持ちいいですし、自分たちが飛んでいるのも本当に最高でした。下降のときに、いたずらで海面ばっちゃんされるのですが、それもいい思い出です。

I challenged myself to 150 meters. At first, I was a bit lost, but once I tried it, it was so much fun that I absolutely recommend the 150 meters and the water splash!

Everyone except us was from overseas, so I felt a bit out of place, but the guide spoke to us in broken Japanese and made sure we were okay, so I never got bored.

If you ask, they will take photos for you! There were some unique shots, and I was really glad I had them take pictures since it was such a special trip.

150メートルを挑戦しました。
はじめは迷いましたが、やってみるととても楽しかったので絶対150と水ドボンをおすすめします！
私たち以外は全員外国の方で少しアウェイ感を感じましたが、ガイドの方がカタコトの日本語で気にかけて話しかけてくれたので退屈することはなかったです。

写真もお願いすると撮ってくれます！
中にはユニークな写真もあって、せっかくの旅行なので撮ってもらってよかったなあと思いました。

There were about two groups of Japanese participants, and most were from Europe and America. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day, and it rained shortly after departure, but just before sunset, the sun peeked out, and although it wasn't a complete double rainbow, we could see one over the ocean. Your feet will definitely get wet, but it might be good to expect that getting wet from the rain can happen. When I went, there weren't any waves splashing onto the boat. You can store your bags and shoes on the back of the chairs, so that's fine. If you want to enjoy it even more, joining in with the European and American vibe can make it quite fun. The staff also helped to liven things up, and the cheerful music playing was a nice touch.

日本人参加者は2組程度、ほとんどが欧米の方でした。あいにくの曇り空で、出発直後に雨が降りましたが、日没直前に太陽がのぞき、洋上に完全ではないですが、ダブルレインボーが見えました。足は確実濡れますが、こんな風に雨で濡れることもあるのは想定した方が良いかもしれないですね、波が船にかかるって濡れる事はわたしのときはなかったです。荷物や靴は椅子の背もたれに入れられるので大丈夫ですよ。より一層楽しむなら欧米人のノリにのっかると、結構楽しくなってきます。スタッフも盛り上げてくれるし、ご機嫌な音楽も流れているのが良かったせです。

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. We also tried parasailing for the first time. We challenged ourselves to the highest level at 150 meters, and my wife, who has a fear of heights, really enjoyed it. I think being higher allows for a longer time in the air, making it even more enjoyable. It became the best memory for us.

新婚旅行で初めてのハワイに。
パラセイリングも初めて体験しました。
一番高い150mにチャレンジしましたが、高所恐怖症の妻もすごく楽しんでいました。
高い方が空中にいる時間も長いので、より楽しめると思います。
最高の思い出になりました。

If you want to get out of Waikiki for a quick outing then this Tradewind Sail with Mana Kai Catamaran is perfect! Departing from the middle of Waikiki, it's a beach boarding and all you need is a pair of sunglasses and water. The captain and crew took us towards out the blue ocean and there you are just sitting looking at the iconic Diamond Head.
It's was great to just relax and bake under the sun for one hour!

First and most important to me was the kindness and concern for my safety. The guys were perfect gentleman and treated me like I was their family. The sail was breathtaking! They went above and beyond to give us an experience we will not forget. It was beautiful and my pictures actually came out great! Thank you for a special memory. I would recommend this trip to everyone! Don’t hesitate to book this trip it will not disappoint you.

The staff doesn't speak any Japanese at all, but you can understand where the life jackets are and how to wear them through body language and nuances. The only other Japanese guests were a family with us, and everyone else was probably American, so we couldn't understand the English jokes and conversations, but since we came to Hawaii, we shouldn't expect Japanese. The waves were very calm, and it was clear until it started to get cloudy on our way back, which felt really nice. The experience of seeing the cityscape of Honolulu and the differently oriented Diamond Head from the sea is quite rare, making it a very valuable and refreshing experience. We were also lucky enough to have dolphins swimming alongside us. You can buy alcohol and soft drinks on board. There was a commemorative photo taken before departure, and you pay $15 when you return.

スタッフは全く日本語を話せませんが、救命胴衣がどこにあるか、どうやって着用するかの説明はボディランゲージやニュアンスでわかります。お客さんも私たちともう一組の親子だけが日本人で、あとはたぶん全員アメリカ人で、英語のジョークなど会話がわかりませんが、ハワイに来たのだから日本語に期待してはいけないのです。とても穏やかな波で、帰り際に曇ってくるまでは快晴で、とても気持ちが良かったです。海からホノルルの街並みや向きの違うダイヤモンドヘッドが見られる体験はなかなかできないので、とても貴重で、また爽快な体験でした。イルカが並走するという幸運もありました。船内でお酒やソフトドリンクが買えます。出航前に記念撮影があり、帰ってくると$15払います。

Swaying with the boat, holding my third Mai Tai, the sunset with Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline in the background was amazing.

船の揺れに身をまかせ、3杯目のﾏｲﾀｲを片手に、ﾀﾞｲｱﾓﾝﾄﾞﾍｯﾄﾞとﾜｲｷｷのﾋﾞﾙ群をﾊﾞｯｸに見た夕日は最高、感度ものでした。

I took a different surfing lesson in Hawaii five years ago, but I couldn't stand up at all, so this was my second challenge. Surprisingly, I was able to stand and ride the waves! The instructor must be really good. Surfing is definitely fun when you can catch the waves! I highly recommend it!

サーフィンは5年前に同じハワイで別のレッスン受けましたが、まともに立てづに終わり今回2回目のチャレンジ。
なんと立てて乗れました！
教え方が上手いんでしょうね。
サーフィンはやはり波に乗れれば楽しい！
是非オススメです！

I returned to Honolulu via a layover in Orlando, Florida. My body was stiff, probably from the cold on the plane and having too much fun in Orlando. On top of that, the shuttle bus from the airport was stuck in traffic... During that time, I found a place that was available for reservations, so I requested it. It was very close to the hotel, and more than anything, I was relieved to communicate in Japanese. They even had a foot bath, and the treatment was thorough. I will visit again.

フロリダ▪オーランドから乗り継ぎでホノルルまで帰りました。
機内の寒さとオーランドで遊び過ぎたツケが出たのかカラダがガチガチ…オマケに空港からの送迎バスも渋滞で進まず…そんな時に、今から予約可能という中にあったのでお願いしました。ホテルのすぐ近くでしたし何より日本語でのコミュニケーションにホッとしました。足浴まであって施術も丁寧でした
また伺います

I wanted to ride the Premium Submarine, but it was under regular maintenance, so I booked the Standard Submarine instead. I had heard that the windows were smaller and the seats were narrower compared to the Premium, but it wasn't as cramped as I expected, and the windows were decent enough for viewing and taking photos or videos without much issue.

The diving time was 45 minutes, which was sufficient to enjoy the experience. I read on one site that there weren't many fish to see, but during our trip, we were able to see quite a few. If I had to say, the fish didn't appear as colorful as in the advertisements, and overall, it looked quite blue. But that's the true color of the ocean, isn't it? This made me feel like I was really diving.

It was great. One thing to note is that the visibility differs on the left and right sides of the submarine; for example, if there are reefs visible on the right, there's nothing on the left, and vice versa. During those times when nothing is visible, it can get a bit boring.

プレミアム・サブマリンに乗りたかったのですが、定期点検中でスタンダード・サブマリンを予約しました。
プレミアムに比べ窓も小さく席も狭いと聞いていましたが、思ったほど狭くなく、窓もそれなりで、見るのは勿論、写真やビデオ撮影にもそれほど問題はありませんでした。
潜水時間は45分でしたが堪能するのに十分な時間でした。
あるサイトで魚がそれほど見られないと書かれていましたが、私たちの時はそれなりに見ることが出来ました。
強いて言うなら広告のようにカラフルに魚は見えず全体的に青く見えます。
でもそれって本当の海の色なんですよね。
こちらのほうが、本当に潜っているんだなぁっていう気持ちになりました。
よかったです。
あとは、潜水艦の左右で視界が違うので、右に漁礁が見えると左は何もなく、
その反対もあり、その見えない時間はちょっと暇です。

We take a small boat to the flying location, and it can be quite rocky! If you're prone to motion sickness, definitely bring some medication. I sometimes get sick if I'm not feeling well, but on this day, I was sleep-deprived and had no issues enjoying myself. On the other hand, my husband started feeling sick on the way back to land and was a bit groggy for a while.

The guide was very professional, and I felt completely at ease leaving things in their hands. If you're feeling a little scared, you should definitely give it a try!

飛ぶ場所まで小さめの船で向かうのですが、結構揺れる！酔いやすい方は絶対に酔い止めが必要です。
私はたまに体調が悪いと酔うけど、この日は寝不足でも問題なく楽しめました。
一方、旦那は帰りに陸へ向かう途中で酔い始め、しばらくグロッキーでした汗

ガイドさんはすごくプロフェッショナルで
安心して任せられましたし
ちょっと怖いなーって位なら絶対チャレンジするべきです！

This trip is AMAZING and Highly recommended. The 4 gentlemen that took us out were great and very attentive. They took us to the best spot for snorkelling and saw a ton if sea turtles. The atmosphere and company can't be beat. If you don't do ANYTHING ELSE in Hawaii do THIS!!!!

Previously, I boarded the Mai Tai Catamaran to see the sunset sinking on the horizon. I was moved then, so this time I boarded to watch the Friday fireworks at Hilton. Since Hilton Village is my regular accommodation, I had been watching the Friday fireworks from the beach and poolside in front of Hilton Village, but seeing the fireworks from the sea was something special. I sat on the port side, but when we started moving, I realized we were facing the opposite side of the beach and thought I might have made a mistake. However, we stopped facing the fireworks venue, so I had a good view. If you sit close to the bow, prepared to get splashed by the waves, you can see the fireworks well. The crew only spoke English but were kind. Because of that, I ended up drinking quite a bit—Mai Tai, beer, and white wine—and then I needed to go to the restroom, which was a bit of a problem. Upon closer inspection, I noticed there was a window on the port side, and when I went to check it out, I found that it was the restroom.

以前、水平線に沈む夕日を見にマイタイ・カタマラン号に乗船しました。その時も感動しましたので、今回はヒルトンの金曜花火を見るために乗船しました。ヒルトンビレッジが常宿なので金曜花火はヒルトンビレッジ前の浜辺やプールサイドから見ていましたが、海上から見る花火はまた格別でした。左舷の席に座りましたが、走り出すと浜辺と反対側と気づき失敗したかなと思いましたが、花火会場に舳先を向けて止まったのでよく見えました。波を被るのを覚悟で舳先近くに座れば花火がよく見えます。クルーは英語しか話せませんが親切でした。そのためマイタイ、ビール、白ワインと結構飲んでしまいトイレに行きたくなり困ってしまいました。よく見ると左舷に窓があり、そこに潜る人を見つけ、見に行くとそこがトイレでした。

Since it was a VIP course, we started in a lounge-like area with Mai Tais and self-service snacks (such as prosciutto with pineapple, fruit skewers with melon, macadamia nuts, and potato chips). After that, we moved to our dining seats and enjoyed a course meal. We had informed Veltra in advance that we were bringing our one-year-old daughter, so a seat for her was also prepared.

During the meal, our daughter was able to participate in a treasure hunt game, which made her happy as she could walk around the venue (sitting still for the entire meal would have been boring for a one-year-old).

After the meal, the show began. With the VIP course, we could watch the show from our dining seats (on the first floor) while continuing to enjoy our drinks. For the regular course, it seemed that guests finished their meals outside the venue before entering the second-floor seating.

The show started with hula dancing, followed by an Elvis Presley impersonation show, a Michael Jackson impersonation show, and finally, fire dancing and hula dancing. All of it was wonderful, and we had a great time. I'm not sure if the quality of the Michael impersonation was high, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Last year, we watched a hula dance show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, which was a more traditional show that showcased Hawaiian culture without any sexy costumes (and that was good in its own way). In contrast, this show was a complete entertainment show with sexy and beautiful hula costumes, and it also allowed for a lively rock atmosphere, making us feel like we were in America! While I didn't know many of the songs, I still had a lot of fun.

Since there is a rock segment, the time for hula dancing isn't very long, so if you want to focus solely on hula dancing, I would recommend other shows. However, if you want to enjoy both American-style music and hula dancing, this show is highly recommended. The location is also at the Royal Hawaiian Center, so for those staying in Waikiki, it's within walking distance, which is a great point for efficient use of time.

VIPコースでしたので、初めにラウンジのようなところでマイタイとセルフサービスのおつまみ（生ハムパイナップル、メロン等の果物串、マカデミアナッツ、ポテトチップス）をいただきました。
それから、各自食事の席まで移動し、コース料理をいただきました。
我が家は1歳の娘連れであることをベルトラさんを通して事前に伝えていたため、娘の席も用意していただいていました。
食事の間に娘は宝探しゲームに参加させていただき、会場を歩くことができて喜んでいました。（1歳の娘にとって食事中ずっとイスに座っているのは退屈なので）

食事が終わると、ショーが始まります。
VIPコースは食事の席（1階席）でそのまま観覧するため、引き続き飲み物を飲みながら見ました。
普通のコースだと、会場の外で食事を終えてから2階席に入場していたようです。

ショーはフラダンスから始まり、エルビスプレスリーの（ものまね）ショー、マイケルジャクソンの（ものまね）ショー、最後にファイヤーダンスとフラダンスという感じで進みました。
どれもとても素敵で、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
マイケルのものまねのクオリティーが高かったのかどうかは謎ですが（笑）、楽しめたのでありだと思います。

昨年はポリネシア・カルチャーセンターのフラダンスショーを見ましたが、そちらは、セクシーな衣装などはなしでハワイの文化をしっかり見せる正統派なショーという感じでした。（それはそれでよかったです）
それに対してこちらは完全なエンターテイメントショーで、フラダンスの衣装もセクシーで素敵で、同時に、ロックで盛り上がることもでき、「アメリカにきたって気がする！（笑）」という気分を味わうことができました。
知っている曲は多くありませんでしたが、それでもとても楽しめました。

ロックの時間がある分、フラダンスの時間は長くありませんので、フラダンスだけをじっくり見たい方は他のショーをお勧めしますが、アメリカっぽい音楽もフラダンスも両方楽しみたい方にはお勧めです。
場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターなので、ワイキキに宿泊している方は徒歩で行けますので、時間が効率的に使えるのも良い点ではないでしょうか。

I was a bit scared at first, wondering if parasailing would be okay, but once I took off, it felt amazing and was absolutely the best! The view of Waikiki from the sky was also really beautiful.

Since I didn't understand the language and wasn't familiar with the area, I was really worried about whether they would actually come to pick me up at the meeting point, but they arrived just as promised, which was a relief! If I have the chance again, I definitely want to do it once more!

パラセイリングって大丈夫かな？と、待ってる間最初はちょっと怖かったんですが…飛んでみると、とても気持ち良くてメチャクチャ最高⤴️⤴️でした❗️空から見えるワイキキも、とっても素敵でした

集合場所は、言葉もわからず、土地勘もないので、本当に送迎に来てくれるか？と心配でしたが、ちゃんと来てくれてホッとしました❗️
また機会あれば、ぜひもう一度やってみたいです❗️

We departed about an hour before sunset and quickly headed out to sea. With a drink included in the price, we enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sunset. I would love to go again on my next trip.

夕日の落ちる約１時間前に出発し、あっという間に沖へ。料金に含まれているドリンク片手に美しいハワイのサンセットを楽しみました。また旅行の際は乗りたいです。

Not one single conplaint! Everyone that attended spoke so highly of the entertaining and hospitable host.
