All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

It was our first parasailing experience. There is nothing scary at all. You would spend one of the best 10min of your life.

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this time I joined for the first time with a large group of eight, including my spouse, daughter, and grandchildren, thinking it would be easy and fun nearby. The scenery was more beautiful than I expected, and the leisurely time was luxurious... I truly felt this is the way to enjoy Hawaii. With this tour, it's great to join alone, and I want to participate every time I come to Hawaii.

ハワイへは何度もきていますが、今回は夫婦娘孫８名の大所帯でしたので、近場で気軽に楽しめると思い初めての参加申込でした。　期待以上の素晴らしい景色と、贅沢なほどのゆったりした時間…　　　これぞ『ハワイの楽しみ方』と実感しました。　　このツアーであれば、一人での参加もいいし、ハワイにきたら毎回参加したいツアーです。

I'm not a fan of thrill rides, but I decided to join the 150m attraction at my husband's request for our honeymoon memories. The view was amazing, and I had a lot of fun!

The pickup vehicle was supposed to be a colorful car as stated on the reservation, but in reality, it was just a plain blue car, making it hard to identify unless you actively look for it.

If you let them know you're Japanese, you can get the consent form in Japanese. Also, one of the passengers got seasick and vomited, so taking motion sickness medication is a must.

絶叫系アトラクションは苦手ですが、新婚旅行の思い出にと旦那さんのリクエストで思い切って150mに参加。景色も最高で非常に楽しかったです！
ピックアップの車は、カラフルなロゴの入った車と予約票には明記されていますが、実際はただの青い車で自分からアピールしないとわかりにくいです。
車内で記入する同意書は、日本人だと伝えると日本語版が貰えます。
また、同乗した方は船酔いして吐いていましたので、酔い止め必須です。

This is my second time participating. Three years ago, when I joined, we had to carry the surfboards from the shop to the beach ourselves, which was quite heavy and challenging. However, it has improved, and now we only need to transport them from the car parked by the beach to the water's edge! This is much easier.

I signed up for a group lesson, but since there were only two of us that day, it turned into a semi-private lesson, which was lucky. The timing was perfect, and I was able to stand up properly from the first try! The instructor spoke mostly English, but once we were out in the water, we only needed to use commands like "paddle" and "stand," so it wasn't a problem if you didn't speak English. Occasionally, they checked on us in a mix of Japanese, asking things like "Are you tired?" (laughs).

The group doing stand-up paddleboarding at the same time also let us surf towards the end. All the staff were friendly, and I had a great time participating again.

2度目の参加です。3年前に参加した時はサーフボードをショップからビーチまで自分たちで運ばなければならず結構重くて大変だったのですが、改善されてビーチサイドに止めた車から波打ち際まで運ぶだけで良くなっていました！これは楽チン。

グループレッスンを申し込みましたがこの日は二人だけだったので、セミプライベートになりラッキー。タイミング良く波に乗せてくれるので、1回目からちゃんと立つことができました！
担当してくれた方はほとんど英語ですが、沖に出てしまえば「漕いで」「立って」くらいしか使わないので英語が出来なくても問題ないです。時々日本語まじりで「ツカレタ？」などと気遣ってくれました(笑)
同じ時間にスタンドアップパドルをしていたグループも最後の方にはパドルを置いてサーフィンをさせてくれていましたよ。スタッフは皆フレンドリーで今回も楽しく参加できました。

I applied with my father, mother, younger sister, and myself!
My sister and I are on our third overseas trip, while it's my parents' first.
Last time we came to Oahu, we wanted to try this, but when we attempted to make a reservation on-site, it was already fully booked, so we decided to carry it over to this time. I recommend making a reservation in Japan.
We were the only Japanese participants, but the crew was very kind and communicated with us in broken Japanese.
During the cruise, cocktails and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink, and there was atmospheric music, making it enjoyable for families, couples, and friends alike! There were also portable toilets, which was reassuring.
Of course, the sunset was absolutely satisfying! Although it was a bit cloudy that day, we were still able to have a wonderful time feeling the Hawaiian breeze.
As the sun began to set, it got a little chilly, so it's good to have a windbreaker or hoodie during this season.
I plan to visit again with friends in May, and I would like to participate again then!

父と母、妹と私の4人で申し込みました‼
妹と私は3度目、父と母は初めての海外旅行でした。
前回、オアフに来たときに乗ってみたい!!と現地で予約を試みたのですが、すでに予約がいっぱいで今回に持ち越すことになりました。日本で予約するのがオススメです。
日本人の参加者は私たちだけでしたが、クルーがとっても親切でカタコトの日本語で対応をしてくれました。
Cruise中はカクテルやソフトドリンクは飲み放題、雰囲気のあるmusicも流れていて家族でもカップルでも友達同士でも楽しめそうです♪簡易トイレもついているので安心です。
もちろんsunsetも大満足!!!!この日は少し曇っていましたが、それでもハワイの風を感じながら最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
日が暮れ始めると肌寒くなってくるので、この時期は風よけのパーカーなどがあるといいですね。
5月にまた友人と訪れる予定ですが、そのときにもまた参加したいと思います‼

This was my second time participating. I had a great time for a full two hours. However, when boarding the boat, there was a system where photos were taken by group, and then shown to us when we disembarked, which was a bit confusing. It costs $20. I didn't buy one, but I felt bad about declining. There are probably people who want the photos, so I think it would be better to only take pictures for those who request them. The staff is friendly.

今回で２回目の参加でした。たっぷり二時間楽しめました。
ただ、船に乗り込むとき、グループごとに写真を撮り、下船したとき見せられるシステムになっていて､戸惑いました。２０ドルです。私は買いませんでしたが、ことわるのが悪いような気がしました。写真がほしい方もいるでしょうから、リクエストある方だけ撮るようにしたほうが良いとおもいます。　スタッフはフレンドリーです。

On the night of our wedding in Hawaii, we went with both families! When making the reservation, I was torn between the buffet and the VIP dinner, but since it was both our wedding day and my birthday, I decided to go for the VIP dinner. The food was delicious, featuring lobster, steak, and salmon, all beautifully presented.

During the show, an Elvis impersonator came down from the stage to hug us and even gave us leis. My mother, who is from the Elvis generation, was thrilled with the lei and the hug! He also visited the second-floor seats. The performances by Elvis, Gaga, and Michael, along with the hula show, were all so much fun!

After the show, we were able to take commemorative photos with Elvis, Gaga, and Michael! I even got a signature on a photo I had purchased in advance. When I told Elvis that it was my birthday and wedding day, he congratulated me and gifted me the scarf he was wearing around his neck! Even though he was an impersonator, I felt like I had met the real deal, and it was so exciting (laughs).

It seemed like my family enjoyed it too, and it turned out to be a wonderful night! I would love to see other impersonators next time!

ハワイ挙式当日の夜に、両家家族みんなで行きました！
予約する時に、ビュッフェとVIPディナーと迷ったのですが、挙式当日＆自分の誕生日というのもあって、せっかくならと思い、VIPディナーにしました。
お料理はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなど、どれもおいしく、見た目も楽しめました。
ショーでは、プレスリー（のそっくりさん）がステージから降りてきてハグしてくれたり、レイをプレゼントしてくれたりします。
プレスリー世代の母は、レイのプレゼント＆ハグに興奮してました！
2階席にも行ってくれてました。
プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのステージ、フラショー、全部楽しかったです！
ショー終了後は、プレスリー、ガガ、マイケルと記念写真が撮れます！
私は事前に購入した写真にサインもして頂きました。
プレスリーに今日誕生日＆結婚式だったと伝えると、おめでとうと首にかけていたスカーフをプレゼントしてくれました！
そっくりさんなのに、本物に会ったかのようにテンションあがってしまいました（笑）
家族も楽しんでくれたようで、とってもステキな夜になりました！
今度は他のそっくりさんも観てみたいです！

We had a blast with the Holokai Catamaran. The crew was fantastic, and we saw lots of marine life including whales, turtles, and even an octopus. My only regret is that we didn't have time to book a sunset cruise on this trip.

Great staff and chill crowd, fantastic views of Waikiki's skyline, even saw a whale! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu!

We watched the sunset with my grandchild and two daughters, just the four of us. We were the only Japanese people there, and everyone spoke only English, but the atmosphere was great. Usually, we go on a dinner cruise, but this was a friendly and cheerful sunset cruising experience!

孫と娘2人、4人でサンセットを眺めました、日本人は私ども4人だけで、オンリーイングリッシュですがふんいきで内容はOKです、いつもはディナーショーつきの客船ですが、フレンドリーな和気あいあいのサンセットクルージングですよ〜！

On the last day of our first trip to Hawaii, my wife, who has a fear of heights, wanted to try this, so we ordered it. The staff were very good and we had a great time. I definitely want to challenge myself to 150 meters next time. The driver who picked us up was funny.

はじめてのハワイ旅行最終日前日に高所恐怖症の嫁がやりたいとの事で注文しました
とても良いスタッフの人達で楽しかったです
ぜひまた今度は150mにチャレンジしてみたいです
送迎の運転手のおじさんが面白かったです

I used to scoff at parasailing, but I listened to my wife's wish to try it and took on the challenge for the first time! It was easier than I thought, and once I was up there, I could enjoy a surprisingly peaceful moment with a view of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and the blue ocean all to myself. It was amazing! I definitely want to do it again! But if it were a bit cheaper, I would do it twice a day!

パラセーリングなんて？！ってバカにしていたけどどうしてもやりたいと言う妻の希望をきいて初チャレンジ！思ったより簡単で、いざ上に上がってみればそこからはダイヤモンドヘッドとワイキキビーチと青い海を独り占め出来る驚くほど静かひととき。最高！是非またやりたい！けどもうちょい安ければ１日２回でもやるんだけどなあ。

We watched a Japanese video at the shop beforehand and then headed to the beach. It was quite tiring, but since it was a longboard, I managed to stand up and ride the waves properly. Everyone was able to ride the waves. Paddling is extremely exhausting. They lend you rash guards and boots. They also burn the images taken at the shop onto a CD and sell them. If you like them and want to buy, it's a good idea to bring some money.

事前にお店で日本語のビデオを見て、ビーチへ。
結構疲れますが、ロングボードなので何とか立てて、ちゃんと波にも乗れました。
全員がちゃんと波に乗ってました。
パドリングが滅茶滅茶疲れます。
ラッシュガードとブーツは貸してくれます。
お店で写した画像をCDに焼いて売ってくれます。気に入って購入する場合もあるので、お金を持って行った方が良いです。

We got great enjoyment from para sailing.
Crew was absolutely splendid. Instructions
were clear and easy to understand.

It was amazing! The ocean was beautiful, and I really had a great time!! I want to go back and jump again when I visit Hawaii!

さいこうでしたぁー！
海も綺麗だし本当に楽しかったです！！
ハワイに行ったらまた飛びたいとおもいます！

Amazing crew and an amazing time! Would definitely suggest to anyone that wants to try parasailing!

I opted for the Hawaiian buffet dinner and show. The tables for eight are set up outside on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, so you will be seated with others. While enjoying a complimentary Mai Tai, I watched the hula performance by four dancers, and after a while, the buffet began. Well, it was just an ordinary buffet. At $54, I personally recommend dining at a restaurant within the Royal Hawaiian Center and participating in just the show.

The main show was enjoyable. The performances of Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson, even as impersonations, were fantastic. Personally, I found the hula and Tahitian dance more impressive than the impersonations. Since it's a theater, the sound system is good, allowing for a powerful hula performance.

The theater is air-conditioned, so I think it's a good idea to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.

ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショーにしました。
ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4F野外に設置された8人掛けテーブルに詰めて座らせられるので相席になります。無料のマイタイを飲みながら4人のダンサーのフラを見てしばらくするとビュッフェ開始。まぁ〜普通のビュッフェです。
コレに$54となると？？？個人的にはロイヤルハワイアンセンター内のレストランで食事をしてショーだけのプランで参加をオススメするかな。

メインのショーは楽しかったです。
ガガ様やマイケル・ジャクソンはモノマネとは言え素晴らしいパフォーマンスでした。
個人的にはモノマネよりもフラダンスやタヒチアンダンスの方が見応えがあった。
劇場なので音響がいいので迫力があるフラが見れます。

劇場内はクーラーが効いているので長袖の羽織るものは持って行った方がいいと思います。

The cocktail cruise features only Mai Tai cocktails, but there is a wide variety of drinks available, including wine, beer, and soft drinks. It seems that reservations can be made right by the beach, and on the day I participated, it was fully booked with mostly Western participants. The staff only speaks English, so I was initially worried about whether I would enjoy it, but as the drinks flowed and the music started, the atmosphere gradually became lively. When a bonito jumped out of the sea, everyone gasped in awe, and when a whale's tail was spotted, there was a collective cheer. Then, at the moment the sun began to set, a whale jumped right in front of everyone’s gaze. Fortunately, we all got to share that fleeting scene of the sunset and the whale together. Oh my gosh! It became an unforgettable memory. If you take a seat on the left side of the boat, you can enjoy the sunset directly in front of you on the way back.

カクテルはマイタイだけのマイタイ・クルーズです。ワインやビール、ソフトドリンクなど飲み物は豊富です。
ビーチ脇でも予約が取れるようで参加した日は満席で欧米人の参加者がほとんどでした。
スタッフは英語しか喋りません。なので最初は楽しめるか不安ですが、お酒が入って音楽が鳴り始めるとだんだん盛り上がってきます。
カツオが海を跳ねるとオゥと皆で感嘆し、クジラの尻尾が見えるとワーッとなります。
そしていよいよ日が沈む瞬間、皆の視線の先でクジラが飛び跳ねました。
とてもラッキーなことに夕焼けとクジラの一瞬の光景を全員で共有できました。オーマイガッ！
忘れられない思い出になりました。
船の進行方向に対して左側の席を取ると帰り道に正面でサンセットを見ることができますよ。

We requested parasailing, which my husband wanted to do on our honeymoon. A wild guy came to pick us up, and we were all excited to join among the international crowd! The crew was cheerful, and we soared high, experiencing the best views! I forgot to say "drive please" and ended up in the sea, but it was incredibly fun! I want to participate again!

ハネムーンで旦那さんのやりたかったパラセーリングをお願いしました。pick upからワイルドなおじさんが来られ、みんな海外の人の中でわくわく参加しました！クルーの方も陽気で、たかーく上がり最高の絶景を感じれました！ドライプリーズと言い忘れ海に浸かったりしたけど最高に楽しかったです！また参加したいです‼︎

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, GREAT FOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SHOW. THE PRICE WAS ALSO VERY GOOD WE WERE ABLE TO SEE THE SHOW UP CLOSE. WOULD BOOK THRU VELTRA AGAIN.

I was thrilled to experience it for the first time! It was a wonderful night where I could really see the difference in the quality of the show. As expected, it was top-notch... I've seen various shows, so I could tell right away (*^-^*). I will definitely come back again!

一度体験してみたかったので感激しました！ショーの格の違いが良く解る素敵な夜でした。
さすがに一流ですね…いろんなショーを見たので直ぐわかりました(*^-^*)
またリピします

I made a reservation for private lessons for myself and my daughter, who is under 13 years old. Normally, there should be two instructors available since an instructor is required for each child under 13, but there was only one. They quickly called in another instructor, but I wonder about the situation.

13歳以下の娘と2人分、プライベートレッスンで、予約をしたのですが、本来なら13歳以下はインストラクターが必ずつかなくてはならないので、インストラクターは二人用意されているはずなのに、一人しかいなかった。急きょもう一人よんでくれましたが、いかがなものか。

We travelled with 3 small children. This catamaran sail was amazing. Staff took us to a great spot for turtles and assisted our kids in the water and onboard. After snorkeling we saw whales and dolphins. Relaxed, fun cruise staff went above and beyond highly recommend

It felt like it started and ended somewhat aimlessly. It must be great for children and the elderly.

なんとなく始まりなんとなく終わった感じです。
お子さんとかお年寄りにはとてもいいんでしょうね。

I was excited for my first parasailing experience! Since it was our honeymoon, we decided to try something we wouldn't normally do, and we took on parasailing.

The pickup was in front of the Duke Kahanamoku statue. It might be a bit hard to find? A trolley came to pick us up. It was a flashy trolley with a parasailing design against a blue sky.

As soon as we got on the trolley, we arrived at the sea.

After checking in at the boat dock and waiting for a while, we were taken onto the boat in order based on our parasailing height.

We were given a paper during check-in, so if you show it to someone near the boat, there won't be any mistakes.

Once on the boat, the explanation began right away. They spoke in simple English, which was easy to understand, and there was also a Japanese instruction sheet circulating, so it was fine.

I think the parasailing lasted about 5 minutes per group.

But it was very satisfying! In fact, for first-timers, 5 minutes might be tiring.

When we experienced it, the weather was great and the scenery was fantastic.

Seeing Hawaii from the sky was wonderful.

At one point, they lowered the height and dipped our bottoms in the water.

As first-timers, we were satisfied even at 110 meters!

I enjoy heights and thrilling attractions, but it turned out that my wife isn't very good with heights. She seemed to have fun, though.

As a side note, all four couples who participated with us were mixed-gender couples, and among them, three women, including my wife, got seasick from the boat's rocking instead of from parasailing. It might be a bit tough for those who are prone to motion sickness.

I would love to participate again.

人生初のパラセイリングでワクワク！
新婚旅行だったので普段しないようなことをしようということでパラセイリングに挑戦しました

ピックアップはデュークカハナモク像の前
少しわかりずらい？トロリーが迎えに来てくれます
青空がバックのパラセイリングの写真柄の派手なトロリーでした

トロリーに乗るとすぐに海に到着

船の乗り場で受付を済ませてしばらく待っているとパラセイリングの高度別？で順番に船に乗せてもらえます

受付の際に紙を渡されるので、それを船の近くにいる人に見せれば間違うことはありません

船に乗るとさっそく説明が始まります
簡単な英語で話してくださるのでわかりやすいですが、日本語の説明書も回覧で回ってくるので大丈夫です

パラセイリングは1組ずつで5分ほどだったと思います

が、とっても満足できます！
むしろ初めてだと5分以上は疲れるかもしれません

私たちが体験したときは
天気も良く景色はサイコーでした

空から見たハワイも素晴らしかったです

途中高度を下げてお尻を水面にもつけてくれます

初めての私たちは110mでも満足は出来ましたよ！

私は高いところやスリリングなアトラクションは好きなのですが、嫁は高いところがあまり得意ではないということが今回の体験で判明しました
楽しかったのは楽しかったようですが。

余談ですが今回一緒に参加した4組は全て
男女のカップルだったのですが、ウチの嫁を含め3組の女性がパラセイリングではなく船の揺れで酔っていました
船酔いしやすい方には少し辛いかもしれません

また参加したいです。

I saw a feature on Hawaii on TV that introduced this tour, and I really wanted to participate, so I signed up. All the staff are locals, and they only speak English. It might be nice to view Waikiki from the ocean, but it was a bit different from what was shown on TV, which was disappointing. If you're looking to enjoy a sense of activity, other sailing tours might be better.

テレビでハワイの特集をしているのを見たときに、このツアーを紹介していてぜひ参加したいと思い、申し込みました。スタッフは全員地元の方で、英語しか通じません。沖から宿泊しているワイキキを眺めるのにはいいかもしれませんが、ちょっとテレビで紹介していたものとは違っていて残念でした。アクティビティな感覚を楽しむのであれば、ほかのセーリングツアーのほうがいいかもしれません。

The tour is for everybody. I think it'll be more species but it's a good one to go with children.

We sailed Christmas Day and it was the perfect way to spend the day. The crew were friendly and we had a great sail - well worth the cost

We participated as a family of six (including three members in their 60s)! We signed up for the normal grade, but due to some mix-up, it seems the best seats were booked for us, and since it was fully booked on the day, we enjoyed the show from the front row. The impact was completely different!

We were able to go get the buffet early and enjoyed both the shell lei and the fresh flower lei, which made the family very happy! We took lots of photos, and everyone had the best smiles. I even got a drawing of my favorite honu (sea turtle) done with magic, which was super exciting!

Since it was a Polynesian show, we experienced various performances like hula, Tahitian, and Maori, and we received a lot of energy from it. At the end, we also got to take photos with the handsome and beautiful dancers, which made the older members of the family very happy (laughs).

After returning home, we kept talking about how great and fun the show was; it seems to have left a lasting impression. We definitely want to participate again, and of course, in the best seats!

家族６人(内３名は60代)で参加しました！
ノーマルグレードで申し込んだのですが、何かの手違いか一番良いお席がブッキングされていたようで、当日は満席のためそのまま最前列で楽しませて頂きました。やはり迫力が全然違います！
ブュッフェも早めに取りに行かせてもらいシェルレイと生花のレイと２つ頂き、家族は大喜び！
写真もたくさんとって頂き皆最高の笑顔でした♪
マジックで大好きなホヌ(海亀)を書いてもらい、めちゃあがりました！
ポリネシアショーなのでフラ、タヒチ、マオリなど様々でエネルギーを沢山頂きました。
最後に美男美女ダンサーさんたちと写真もとれて年配組も大喜びでした(笑)
帰ってきてからも、ショー良かったね楽しかったねと一番印象に残ったようです。
ぜひまた、参加したいです。もちろん一番良いお席で♪
