All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

On our honeymoon, we challenged ourselves with 120m! From Waikiki, we had a beautiful view of Diamond Head, and it was the best scenery! The wind felt nice too. During the trip, I experienced a bit of seasickness, but the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made me feel better. While parasailing, there was less swaying than I expected, and I truly enjoyed it! Since it was my husband's birthday, it was really the best memory!

ハネムーンで、120mに挑戦しました！ワイキキからダイヤモンドヘッド一面が綺麗に一望でき、最高の眺めでした！風も気持ち良かったです。移動中は、少し船酔いがありましたが、スタッフの方が笑顔で親しみやすく対応してくれたので、気分が良くなりました。パラセーリング中は、思ったより揺れなどなく、心から楽しめました！夫が誕生日だったこともあり、本当に最高の思い出です♪

The view of Oahu Island from the sea was amazing. The crew was also fun and hospitable. I bought a photo SD card for $30. I'm worried about whether the pictures turned out well, but I bought it as a keepsake. (laughs) It feels great! You should definitely do it!

海から眺めるオアフ島は、最高でした。
クルーの方も楽しくもてなしてくれます。
写真のSDカード30$で購入 ちゃんと写っているか心配ですが記念に購入しちゃいました。（笑） 気持ちいいですよ！やるべき

Loved it really enjoyed the experience would highly recommend. Fantastic way to end a holiday

If you're going to Hawaii, surfing is a must. In fact, I had been taken surfing three times by a junior colleague from my company before, but I couldn't manage to take off and had given up. However, I decided to join this opportunity.

I participated alone, but the driver who picked me up and the receptionist explained everything in Japanese, which was a great help since I don't understand any English at all.

Finally, we headed to the ocean at Waikiki. I received a brief lecture in English on the beach and then we quickly went into the water. The surf point was quite far from the shore, and I paddled out, but at 50 years old, I found it pretty tiring. I couldn't help but say "very tired," and the instructor responded with a smile.

I faced the board towards the shore, waited for the waves, and the nice instructor timed it perfectly, telling me when to paddle and when to go, and I successfully took off. I was so worried about taking off, but I managed to do it from the first try, and it was incredibly fun and exhilarating.

One thing to note is that while it's fine to stand, there are many rocks, so I think I need to be careful as my feet ended up all scratched. However, the waves weren't too high, and with the instructor's good timing, I believe anyone can stand up.

It was a fantastic experience. Thank you!

ハワイに行くならサーフィン
実は以前に会社の後輩に３回ほど連れて行ってもらいましたがテイクオフ出来ず諦めていたのですがこのチャンスにと参加しました
一人で参加しましたがピックアップの運転手さん受付の人が日本語で説明していただき全く英語がわからない僕ですが助かりました
いざワイキキの海へ
海岸で英語で軽くレクチャーを受け早速海へ
ポイントは岸からかなり遠くパドリングで向かいましたが50才の僕には結構疲れ"very tired"と思わず発するとニッコリと笑顔で答えられる
ボードを岸に向け波待ちインストラクターのナイスガイがタイミングをみてパドリングそしてGoと指示してもらいテイクオフ成功
あれだけ悩んでいたテイクオフが1度目から出来とても楽しく気持ち良かったです
ひとつだけ、足はつくのはいいのだが岩が多いので足が傷だらけになるので気を付けなければいけないと思います
しかし波もそんなに高くなくインストラクターのタイミングがいいので絶対に立てると思います
とても良かったですありがとうございます

We were with a group of three. It took about 10 minutes to reach the ocean, and the flight lasted around 5 minutes overall. There were occasional bumps from the wind, but it wasn't too scary. It was a lot of fun. There was an option to have photos taken during the parasailing for $30, which we used as a keepsake.

3組と一緒でした。沖まで10分くらいで到着し、空中は総じて5分位だったでしょうか、たまに風に乗って揺れましたが、そこまで怖くないです。とても楽しかったです。オプションでパラセイル中の写真をとってくれるサービスが30ドルであり、記念に利用しました。

I participated in the hula show this time, and I would like to share my experience. I hope it will be helpful for those considering attending. My wife does hula dancing and has always wanted to go to a dinner show, so when I searched online, I came across the VERTLA page. I was torn between the one at Hilton Hawaiian Village and the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, but I decided on the Royal Hawaiian since it was within walking distance from our hotel. I booked the VIP seats for this dinner show before leaving Japan. I brought a copy of the reservation email from VERTLA.

On the day of the show, we arrived right at the 6:15 PM meeting time and immediately took a photo with Michael Jackson (they come around during dinner to ask if you want to purchase it). We waited in the lobby for about five minutes with a Mai Tai cocktail (there's a non-alcoholic option as well) and snacks (if we had arrived earlier, we could have enjoyed more fruit). After that, we were guided to a table for two. There was a schedule, and according to it, the show was set to start at 8 PM and last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. We enjoyed delicious food (see the menu photos) and drinks while chatting with a newlywed couple sitting next to us, and the time flew by until showtime.

The show featured performances by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and their collaboration with hula, as well as solo hula and fire dancing. Everything was truly wonderful, and I particularly felt it was worth it for Michael Jackson's dance and the female vocalist's singing ability. The fire dance was also impressive. My wife seemed to want to see more hula. We were very satisfied with our VIP seat reservation, but the people in the second-floor seats who came just to watch the show without dinner were also very enthusiastic. I have attached a few photos for your reference. We are talking about wanting to go to the show at Hilton Hawaiian Village next time.

今回フラショウに参加しましたのでその体験談を書かせていただきます。
参加を検討されている方々の参考になれば幸いです。
私の妻がフラダンスをやっていて一度はディナーショーに行ってみたいと言っていましたのでネット検索した所、VERTLAのページに出会い色々載っている中からヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのものと今回のロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターとで迷ったのですが宿泊ホテルから歩いて行けるロイヤルハワイアンに決めてこのディナーショウのVIP席を日本出発前に申し込みました。VERTLAからのメールの予約票をコピーして持参。当日の流れを言いますと、18時15分集合時間ちょうどに到着、すぐにマイケルジャクソンと写真撮影（食事中に購入するかどうか聞きに来ます）。
マイタイカクテル（ノンアルもあり）とおつまみでロビーにて5分程待機（もっと早く行けばフルーツ沢山食べられた）。その後案内されて二人用のテーブルへ。スケジュール表がありそれによるとショウは20時から1時間15分程。お隣に居合わせた新婚さんと楽しくおしゃべりしながら美味しい食事（メニューの写真参照）とお酒でそれほど長く感じる事無くショウタイムに。ショウは大まかに言うとエルビスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、彼らとフラの共演。フラ単独。ファイヤーダンス。といった感じで実際どれもすばらしく特にマイケルジャクソンのダンスと女性ボーカルの歌唱力には来たかいがあったなと思いました。ファイヤーダンスも迫力がありました。妻はもっとフラが見たかったようですが。今回はVIP席の予約でとても満足でしたが2階席の食事無しのショウだけを見に来た方々もとても盛り上がっていました。何枚か写真を添付しましたので参考にしていただければと思います。次回はヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのショウにも行ってみたいねと二人で話しています。

It’s beautiful just don’t opt for the all you can drink it’s to short of a journey to try and catch a buzz while admiring the views!

We had a seamless experience with booking our private ash scattering on the Holokai catamaran. My mother wanted her ashes to be scattered off of Waikiki and it was such a beautiful celebration. All of the Holokai crew were wonderful and the ladies who helped with the booking via phone were very helpful too. I’m so glad we decided to book this private charter. My family had a very memorable experience as we celebrated Moms life. The bonus was being able to play a playlist of my moms favorite songs. Mahalo Nui Loa!!

It was my first time on a submarine, and it was good, but I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see as many fish as I expected. I thought, "Is this it?" However, I did get to see sea turtles. In terms of seeing fish, the quality is much lower compared to an aquarium, so I think it's better to consider riding the submarine as the main attraction. I was expecting to see more fish, so I feel like it was a bit of a waste for the price I paid.

潜水艦に初めて乗る、それは良かったのですが魚が思ったより見れずに、あれ？こんなもの？？といった印象ではありました。ただ、海亀も見ることができます。水族館よりずっと魚を見るということに関しては質が落ちるので潜水艦に乗る！というのをメインに考えるといいかと思います。私はもっと魚が見れると思っていたのでこの値段でこれは少し勿体なかったかなと思っています。

It takes about 10 minutes to get from the center of Waikiki, so you can easily return to your hotel after the experience! There are no lockers for your belongings, but you can place them at your feet on the boat, so it wasn't a problem. Most of the explanations were in English, but that wasn't an issue. There were five other groups on the same boat, but we were the only Japanese. There wasn't much explanation about the height differences, so I didn't quite understand, but it was fun, so that's okay. Each group can enjoy about 5 to 10 minutes of aerial walking. It seems just right to feel like you want to enjoy a little more! I would like to go parasailing again!

ワイキキ中心部から10分程度で到着しますので、体験後もサクッとホテルに戻れます！
荷物のロッカーはありませんが、ボートの席の足元に置けますので、問題ありませんでした。
ほとんど英語の説明ですが、問題なかったです。
同じボートには他5組が乗船していましたが、日本人は私達だけでした。
特に高さの違いの説明はありませんでしたので、よくわからなかったのですが、楽しかったのでヨシとします。
体験時間としては1組あたり5分〜10分の空中散歩が楽しめます。
もう少し楽しみたいなぁと思うくらいがちょうどいいのでしょうか！
またパラセーリングをやりたいと思いました！

The weather was a bit bad, but we went ahead without any issues. We were picked up right in front of the hotel. We moved to the port and boarded the boat. Two cheerful foreigners entertained us. We just had to go along with it and fly. We went up high and could see Waikiki and Diamond Head. It was open and fun. They took a lot of pictures from the boat. You can choose whether or not to splash into the water. Most people opted to splash. When we got down, they gave us the SD card with the photos right there. They mentioned we would pay later at the port. However, there was no chance to pay, and we were put on a bus. I wonder if that was okay... I paid about $20 in tips when getting off the boat. On the way back, they took us to the hotel. Some of the photos were out of focus or overly bright, resulting in almost completely white pictures, but since it was practically free, I could overlook it. I think taking pictures on a very shaky boat is quite difficult.

少し天気が悪かったですが、無事決行。
ホテル前までお迎え。
港へ移動して、ボートに乗り込みます。
陽気な外人さん2人が楽しませてくれます。
なされるがまま飛ぶだけです。
高くまで上がって、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見渡せます。
開放的で楽しいです。
ボートから写真をたくさん撮ってくれています。
水にポチャするかしないか選べます。大体の人はポチャありにしています。
降りてくるとその場で写真のSDカードをくれます。
お金は後で港で払ってみたいな事を言われます。
でも払うチャンスがなく、バスに乗せられます。これで良かったのか・・・
チップはボートを降りるときに20ドルくらい払いました。
帰りはホテルまで乗せてくれます。
写真はピントが合っていなかったり、明るさを上げ過ぎていて、ほとんど真っ白な写真もありましたが、タダ同然だし、許せました。
すごく揺れる船の上で写真撮るのは相当難しいのだと思います。

You can enjoy beautiful views of Diamond Head and feel the breeze of Hawaii, which is very enjoyable. This time it was cloudy, so I couldn't see the sunset, but I would love to visit again.

ダイアモンドヘッドが綺麗に見れたりと景色が堪能でき
ハワイの風を感じられたりととても楽しいです。
今回は曇ってて日の入りが見られませんでしたが、またリピートしたいと思います。

This is my fifth time in Waikiki, and last year, I learned about Rock-a-Hula through a friend's recommendation. My family of four enjoyed the show from the stage-side VIP seats, and I couldn't forget the excitement from that time, so this year, my wife and I came back again.

The VIP dinner, cocktails, and show began with a welcome hula at the VIP entrance, followed by a welcome reception. For dinner, we had lobster with rainbow salad, natural Alaska salmon, and tenderloin beef at the front row seats. For dessert, we enjoyed pineapple delight, and we ordered beer and wine. To finish off, I had Kona blend coffee while my wife had tea, making for a plentiful dinner.

The performances featuring Elvis, Michael Jackson, and the fire show were incredibly impressive, rivaling those in Las Vegas, all taking place at the Royal Hawaiian Center. The show was even more powerful than a year ago, blending rock and Hawaiian music in a thrilling and emotional performance that left us in awe.

After the show, we had the opportunity to take photos with the performers, and we spent a thoroughly satisfying time from entrance to exit. My wife was completely captivated and is eager to return next year. I highly recommend the VIP seats for the dinner, cocktails, and show at Rock-a-Hula, where you can truly feel one with the stage.

今回で5度目のワイキキですが、昨年、知人の薦めで、このロック・ア・フラを知り、ステージサイドVIP席
にて、家族4人、ショーを堪能し、あの時の興奮が忘れられず今年も妻と二人で来てしまいました。
VIPディナー&カクテル&ショーは、VIP専用入り口でのウェルカムフラに始まりウェルカムレセプションへ、
ディナーはステージ最前列席にてレインボーサラダ添えロブスターに天然アラスカサーモン・テンダーロンイン
ビーフ、デザートにはパイナップルデライト、ビールにワインもオーダーし、締めは、私はコナブレンドコーヒー、妻は紅茶と盛り沢山のディナーでした。
プレスリーにマイケルジャクソン、ファイヤーショーと本場ラスベガスでなくて、このロイヤルハワイアンセンターで世界レベルの衝撃的エンターテイメントに感動しまくりでした。
1年前のショーよりもさらにパワーアップしたロックンロールとハワイアンを融合させた迫力と感動のパフォーマンスで全身を痺れさせてくれました。
ショー後のお見送り時には、出演者との写真撮影もあり、入り口から出口まで大満足のひと時を過ごせました。
妻などは、すっかり魅了され、又、来年もと意気込んでいます。
ロック・ア・フラは、舞台と一体になれるディナー&カクテル&ショーVIP席がお薦めです。

I read the reviews carefully before participating. Since it was the children's wish, I thought just riding in a submarine would be enough. As expected from the reviews, the view was mostly colorless and not very clear, but I was satisfied to see sea turtles and sharks. In the second half, my younger child (first grader) got bored, but I think it was a good experience overall. Also, the boat ride to and from the location felt like a cruise, and the scenery was nice, which added to the value.

口コミ等よ〜く読んで参加しました。
子供達の希望だった為、潜水艦に乗った経験だけで良し。と思っていました。
口コミからの想定通りほとんどカラーの無い見通しの悪い景色でしたがウミガメやサメにも会えて満足でした。
後半、下の子（小1）は飽きてしまってましたが良い経験になったと思ってます。
あと行き帰りの船はクルージング気分で景色も良くお得感がありました。

The show was very good, but...
The buffet style lowered the rating.
The food was not that great.

It's very disappointing.

ショーはとても良かったが…
ビュッフェスタイルが評価を下げた。
たいした料理では無かった。


とても残念です。

Challenging ourselves to 150 meters! We are two people with a fear of heights, and even Splash Mountain was impossible for us, but we decided to give it a try... The two of us girls were super excited!
It was so much fun! The transportation to and from the location was great, and they recommended places for us to visit. We enjoyed ourselves from start to finish! Even with our fear of heights, we had a wonderful time. Up in the air, there was absolutely no noise, and we felt the vastness of the world.

150メートルに挑戦！高所恐怖症で、スプラッシュマウンテンですら無理な2人でしたが、せっかくとのことで…。女子2人で大興奮！
とっても楽しかったです！行き帰りの送迎もオススメの場所教えてくれたり、最初から最後まで楽しめました!高所恐怖症でしたが、私たちはとても楽しめました。上空では全く雑音が無くて、世界の広さを感じました。

Fortunately, I was able to experience it on a sunny day, and it felt wonderful! The flight time was just right, and I enjoyed the views of Honolulu. The driver for the transfer was incredibly cheerful and kept the atmosphere lively with simple English, which left a good impression. Since the plan, including the transfer, takes less than half a day, I think it's definitely worth experiencing.

幸いにも晴れの日に体験でき、とても気持ちよかったです！飛行時間も丁度良く、ホノルルの景色を楽しめました。また送迎のドライバーさんがものすごく陽気で、簡単な英語で道中を盛り上げてくれたのも好印象。送迎含め半日もかからないプランなので、体験して損はないかと思います。

The staff were cheerful and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. I was a bit worried that heights might be scary, but in reality, it was stable, so it wasn't as frightening as I thought, and I had the opportunity to enjoy the scenery. When we came down, we had the choice of whether to make a splash in the sea or not. There are individual differences, but it was exciting enough to just get my backside wet, so I was glad I chose to make a splash (^^).

スタッフの方々が明るく気さくで楽しく体験できました。
もしかしたら、高所は怖いかも！？と心配もしましたが、実際には安定しているので思ったよりは怖くなくて、景色を楽しむ余裕がありました。
降りてきて最後に海に着水＝ポチャンをするか？しないか？を選択できました。
個人差はありますが、おしりを濡らす程度で盛り上がるので、私はポチャンにてみて良かったです（＾＾）

We had the most incredible evening - these women are kickass and we couldn't have imagined a better crew!! The drinks were great, the sunset unbelievable and the boat was VERY clean - even the bathrooms were nice and clean. We would definitely do this again when back in Hawaii!

Highly recommend a Hawaiian Mimosa by the way!! Well worth the money for an evening on the water - big enough that it's spacious too. Thank you girls for such a memorable evening!! <3

The guide was very enjoyable, and I felt safe while experiencing the thrilling parasailing. I would like to participate again.

ガイドしてくれた方も大変楽しく　安心してスリルあるパラセールが楽しめました。
また　参加してみたいです。

At first, I was scared, but once I got used to it, I enjoyed it like a bird! You can get a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki. It's okay to put your smartphone in a waterproof case and hang it around your neck. It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medicine for peace of mind. I recommend the $30 photo package; they take a lot of great pictures!

はじめは怖かったですが慣れると鳥の気分で楽しめました！
ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを一望できます。
スマホは防水ケースに入れて首に下げてオッケーです。
酔い止めは飲んだ方が安心かも。
30ドルの写真もたくさん撮ってもらえておすすめです。

I was anxious about my first fishing trip abroad, but the pickup van was easy to identify as it was blue, just like the tour company's name, and the crew were really nice people.

We only caught one fish, but we enjoyed the experience enough while cruising and admiring Diamond Head. By the way, there were others around us who caught two or three fish or more.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to participate again.

初めての海外での釣りで、ピックアップから不安でしたが、ピックアップのバンはツアー会社の名前通りブルーのバンで分かりやすく、クルーも良い人たちでした。

魚は私たちは１匹しか釣れませんでしたが、ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング感覚で十分楽しめました。ちなみに周りは２～３匹以上釣ってる人もいました。

次回もハワイに行く機会があればまた参加したいです。

Awesome people!
Awesome weather!
Totally awesome experience

We participated as a couple. I'm not very comfortable with heights, but being over the ocean made it not a problem at all. We joined at a height of 130 meters, but I think you can enjoy it at any height.

I thought about taking photos from above, but I was worried I might drop my smartphone, so I gave up. I ended up purchasing the photos taken by the guide.

Although we're not a young couple, we really wanted to participate in activities that feel Hawaiian, so it was great.

Also, the fact that the time commitment wasn't too long was a plus. After it was over, we could head back quickly, allowing us to enjoy the rest of the day.

夫婦で参加しました。余り高いところが得意ではないのですが、海の上だからか全然気にならなかったです。高さ130ｍで参加しましたが、どの高さでもそれなりに楽しめると思います。

上空から写真を撮ろうかとも思いましたが、スマホを落としそうな気がして断念。ガイドさんに撮っていただいた写真を購入しました。

若い夫婦ではないのですが、ハワイっぽいアクティビティにも参加したいと思っていたのですごく良かったです。

後は拘束時間がそんなに長くないのも良かったです。終わったらサクッと帰れたので、その後も1日色々遊べます。

In the morning, I was excited in the car that picked me up. The driver was also an interesting person, which made it enjoyable. They took photos on the boat, but I didn't purchase any... When we soared into the sky, it was truly refreshing! I also enjoyed the usual Japan experience!

朝、お迎えの車の中からドキドキしていました。ドライバーさんも面白い方で楽しめました。船の中では写真を撮ってくれましたが購入はしませんでした・・・。大空に舞い上がったときは本当に爽快でした！お決まりのジャポンも楽しめました！

I was worried because I was about 10 minutes late for the meeting time, so I called the tour company. They told me to keep waiting as they were on their way, and a few minutes later, the pickup van arrived. It seemed to take some time because quite a few participants were on board. We sped along in a boat with little rocking for about 10 minutes and then flew in groups. There were groups that only got splashed a little on their toes and others that got splashed multiple times, so if you have a preference, you can let the guide know to enjoy it more. The guide didn't seem to speak much Japanese, but they tried to understand with their limited English, so there's no need to worry. It was fun!! Thank you, guide!! There are many photos, and all of them are beautifully taken, so it's worth buying them.

集合時間から１０分ほど遅れたので心配でツアー会社に電話をしました。
そっちに向かっているので引き続き待っていてと言われ、数分後に迎えのバンが来ました。参加者が結構乗っていたので時間がかかったようです。揺れの少ない船で１０分ほど爆走し、グループごとに飛びました。水ジャポンは足先だけちょびっとのグループと何度もジャポンされたグループがあったので、希望があればガイドさんに言うと楽しめます。日本語はあまり話せなさそうでしたが、つたない英語でも理解しようとしてくれるので心配いらないです。楽しかったです！！ガイドさんありがとう！！写真はたくさんあり全てきれいに撮れているので買ったほうがいいです。

I apologize for the late post, but I used the service in April. Since our arrival date was on a Friday, I signed up for my friend’s first trip to Hawaii to see the Hilton fireworks! My friend, who was worried about motion sickness, was very happy to enjoy the fireworks while feeling the pleasant breeze (a jacket is a must!). I usually watch from the beach, but seeing the fireworks from the water was exceptional. I would like to sign up again next time!

投稿が遅くなりましたが、4月に利用しました。到着日が金曜日だったので、ヒルトンの花火が観られる！とハワイ初の友達のために申し込みました。乗り物酔いが心配だった友達も、心地よい風を受けながらの花火鑑賞にとても喜んでくれました（上着は必須です！）。私もいつもはビーチからの鑑賞でしたが、海の上から見る花火は格別なものでした。次回も申し込みたいと思います！

It was an amazing trip with beautiful views. The crew was friendly and funny. I would recommend this trip!!!

I participated with my sixth-grade and third-grade boys. Since it was their first time, they were nervous and scared, but it seems they enjoyed it. I took motion sickness medication, so I didn't get seasick. However, it was a bit disappointing that the weather was cloudy. The local staff hardly spoke any Japanese. They mentioned it was cloudy and cool, and it was indeed cool. I think it would be hot if the weather were nice. I would like to participate again.

小学生6年と3年の男の子を連れて参加しました。二人とも初めてだったので、緊張していましたが、怖がっていましたが、楽しめたようです。酔止めを飲んで参加したので、船酔いはしませんでした。ただ、天気が曇りだったので、そこだけが残念でした。現地の係の方は日本語はほとんど通じません。曇っていて、涼しいと言ってました。確かに涼しかったです。天気がいいと、暑いと思います。また参加したいです。

The flair show you usually see is on a completely different level of intensity. It was disappointing to have a lot of waiting time after entering. I wish there had been a bit more time to enjoy the meal.

普段見るフラショーとは迫力が格段に違います。
入場してから、待ち時間が多かったのが残念です。もう少し食事を楽しむ時間があればいいなと思いました。
