All Reviews for Waikiki Beach, Oahu

It was my first time to do parasailing.
Awsome!! view from top was beautiful!!
If I have chance, I wanna do again:-)

I was told by a friend that it would be better to move by taxi, but after trying this trolley, which is not available in Japan, I can say it was refreshing and pleasant. I took the Blue Line to Hanauma Bay. I also frequently used the Pink Line for shopping.

友人からはタクシーで移動すればいいのでは？？と言われていましたが日本にはないこのトロリーという乗りものに乗ってみて思ったのは開放感があり気持ちいいの一言です。ブルーラインでハナウマ湾まで行ってきました。あとお買い物にピンクラインをよく利用しました。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I signed up for this tour. It's no surprise that there are many repeat visitors. The guide, Mr. Yamazaki, provided insights that allowed us to view Hawaii and Japan from various perspectives, which was truly inspiring. It was like a school trip for adults.

The woman who guided us also recommended some great shops, and I was able to buy some satisfying souvenirs. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. I definitely want to participate again!

初めてのハワイでしたが、このﾂｱｰに申し込んで本当に良かったです。
リピーターの方が多いのも頷けます。
案内をして下さる山崎さんのお話はハワイと日本をいろんな角度で見直すことが出来て、刺激されました。正に大人の修学旅行です。

一緒に案内をしてくださった女性の方にお勧めのお店を教えてもらって納得のいく記念品を買うことが出来ました。
たくさんの思い出をありがとうございます。
また絶対に参加したいです！

As soon as we arrived in Hawaii, my friend and I experienced it together. It was definitely expensive! But the scenery and the ocean were beautiful, and we could see Diamond Head clearly.

There were mostly white tourists, and the instructors couldn't speak Japanese. However, the explanations were easy to understand, so we could enjoy the experience with peace of mind. My friend and I were the only Japanese people there, but that made me feel like I was really on a trip, which was great.

ハワイに着いて早々、友人と二人で体験しました。
確かに高い！でも景色も海もきれいでダイヤモンドヘッドもしっかり見えます。

白人の観光客の方ばかりで、インストラクターも日本語は使えません。でも説明はわかりやすいし安心して体験できます。
日本人は私と友人だけでしたが、それが私にとっては旅行にきたぞっていう感じで良かったです。

This is my second time taking surfing lessons here, and rather than wanting to take the lessons, I join the class for safety reasons in various ways when I'm alone. It can be dangerous with rocks and coral, but the instructors keep an eye on us and teach us. If you zone out, you might get scolded...

The photographer is capturing the lesson scenes, so if you're interested in having a memory, you can purchase them. By the way, it was about $30 plus tax for one lesson's worth.

こちらでサーフィンレッスンを受けるのは２回目で、レッスンを受けたいというより、いろんな意味で安全なので、ひとりのときは必ずクラスに入ってます。岩やサンゴで危なかったりもしますよね、ちゃんと先生が見張ってて教えてくれます。ぼーっとしてると、叱られたりもしますけど・・・

カメラマンさんが、レッスン風景を撮影してくれてますので、思い出に・・・と思う方は購入出来ますョ。ちなみに、１レッスン分入ってて３０ドル＋税ぐらいでした。

I can't believe we were able to have such a valuable experience in such a short time! Flying together was also a wonderful memory! It felt great.

短時間であんなに貴重な体験ができるなんて！
2人で飛べたのもすごくいい思い出になりました！
気持ちよかったです。

Best Time ever.

I went to Hawaii during Golden Week. My husband and I took a three-hour lesson. My husband has been surfing for seven years, and I was a beginner, but he took me to a beach near Ala Moana where there were few people, and we both had a great time.

There were six people in our group, and we had two super cute Japanese instructors, which was an incredible luxury for me to have a surf lesson in Japanese in Hawaii as a beginner. They were gentle when we entered the water and encouraged me, who lacks stamina, so I was able to take the lesson with peace of mind.

My husband really liked the beach with no people, and when he mentioned that he wanted to surf there again the next day, they kindly brought the surfboard to Ala Moana Beach for our lesson the next day. He was very satisfied that he could surf outside of Waikiki without renting a car.

I definitely want to request this again next time.

ゴールデンウィークにハワイに行ってきました。
主人と３時間レッスンを受けました。
主人はサーフィン歴７年、私は初心者でしたが、アラモアナの方のビーチまで車で連れて行ってくれ、人も少なく主人も私も思う存分楽しめました。
６名のグループでしたが、日本人の超カワイイインストラクターが２人付いてくれて、初心者の私にはハワイで日本語のサーフレッスンが受けられるなんて最高に贅沢でした。
海に入っても優しく、そして体力のない私を励ましてくださり、安心してレッスンを受けることができました。

主人はこの人のいないビーチがすごく気に入り、次の日もここのビーチでサーフィンをしたいと言ってみると、
次の日のレッスンに合わせて、サーフボードをアラモアナのビーチまで持ってきて下さいました。
レンタカーを借りずにワイキキの海以外でサーフィンができ、大満足の様子でした。

次回も是非お願いしたいと思います。

We participated as a family of six. This was my second time parasailing, but everyone else was experiencing it for the first time. The women were particularly scared, but once we were up in the air, we were all amazed to see the city of Waikiki from nearly 100 meters high! The feeling of flying over the deep blue sea was truly indescribable. The staff were all cheerful and playful, which helped ease our nerves, and we appreciated that.

家族６名で参加しました。
私自身はパラセイリング２度目でしたが、あとは皆初体験。女性陣は特に怖がっていましたが、いざ上空へ上がると100ｍ近い高さからワイキキの街が一望できてみんな大感激！
真っ青な海の上を飛ぶ気分は、まさに筆舌に尽くしがたい体験でした。
スタッフもみんな陽気でお茶目で、緊張を解きほぐしてくれて嬉しかったです。

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it

All I could say was, Oh My God!

It was sooo fun, I reccomend that to any one with a real sence of adventure. And I will always come back to do the many adventures "Hawiian adventures" has to offer:-)

The captain, and his 1st mate was very cool too.

Thanks.

Great Show, Enjoyed the Venue....food not to great?

I participated because I wanted to ride on a yacht rather than a large ship.

The floor of the yacht is netted, allowing you to see the ocean! (Of course, there are also seats that are not netted.)

When the wind blows, ocean spray hits you and it's chilly, but that's part of the fun.

You can order alcohol and soft drinks, and I enjoyed sipping a margarita while relaxing and gazing at the vast ocean under the blue sky. It felt wonderful!

I was lucky enough to see a lot of dolphins.

Not all the participants were Japanese, but the guide spoke Japanese, so there were generally no issues.

For those who might get seasick, it could be a concern, but the participation fee isn't too high, so I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to feel the Hawaiian breeze!

大きな船ではなくヨットにのりたくて参加しました。

ヨットの足元はネット状になっていて、海が見られます！
（もちろんネットになっていない座席もありますよ）

風がふくとオーシャンスプレーがかかってちべたいですが、それもまた楽しい。

アルコールやソフトドリンクもオーダーでき、
青い空のしたで大きな海を眺めながらのんびりマルガリータを飲みました。
とっても気持ちよかった！

私はラッキーなことにイルカもたくさん見られました。

ほかの参加者はみんな日本人ではありませんでしたが、
ガイドの人が日本語が話せるので、だいたい問題ありません。

あんまり船酔いする人はあれかもしれませんが、
参加費もそんなに高くないので、
ハワイの風を感じたい人にはとってもおすすめです！

I stayed at a hotel on the outskirts of Waikiki, very close to the Honolulu Zoo, and I found this spa while looking for one nearby! I chose it mainly because it was close, and I was extremely satisfied. According to the staff who attended to me, most of the estheticians are veterans from famous spas. They focused on the areas that needed attention, and the service was outstanding, taking care to consider my comfort during the treatment. I felt that resetting both my mind and body with a massage made my stay in Hawaii much more enjoyable, rather than dragging the fatigue from my work in Japan.

ワイキキ動物園のすぐ近く、ワイキキの外れのホテルに滞在だったので、近くのスパを探していて見つけました！
近いからという理由で選んだのですが、満足度は大！です。担当してくれたスタッフの方のお話では、ほとんどのエステティシャンが有名スパ出身でベテランばかりだそうです。
こっているところは重点的にやっていただけたし、こちらの様子に気遣いしながらの施術でサービス抜群です。
やっぱり日本での仕事の疲れをひきずっての滞在より、いちどマッサージで心身ともにリセットするとハワイがもっと楽しめる気がしました！

I originally started shortboarding in Japan, but I struggled with takeoff. I felt some resistance to lessons in Japan, so I thought I would participate in Hawaii instead.

As a man, I wondered how it would be with only female instructors, but the atmosphere was quite friendly and pleasant. The instructor was, of course, beautiful (laughs). The lessons were tailored to my level, and the teaching was both theoretical and easy to understand, allowing me to grasp the concepts during the lesson! Of course, I worked on perfecting my takeoff as well!

As soon as I returned to Japan, I challenged myself on the shortboard and was able to take off right away!

I finally became a surfer. Thank you, instructor Yu-ko!!

もともと日本でショートボードを始めたのですが、テイクオフがなかなか難しくつまずいてました。日本でのレッスンはなんか抵抗もあり、ハワイでならと思い参加しました。

男性として女性だけのインストラクターでどうかな？と思いましたが、なかなかフレンドリーな感じで雰囲気もよかったです。
インストラクターはもちろん美女でした（笑）
レッスンも私のレベルにあった教え方をして頂き、理論的かつ分かりやすい教え方で納得しながらレッスンできました！
もちろん、テイクオフも完璧になるまでに！

早速、日本へ帰ってきてからショートでチャレンジも、すぐにテイクオフできました！

やっとサーファーになれました、
インストラクターのyu-koさんありがとう！！

It was a very good experience and we enjoyed it a lot.

It was a day with very strong winds. I was prepared to get wet, but it was beyond what I expected. I think it would be better to participate in a swimsuit. It was a lot of fun, but rather than elegant sailing, it felt like an exhilarating banana boat ride.

However, I had some trouble finding the check-in, as it was at the beach behind the Outrigger Hotel. I was looking for someone dressed appropriately, but in reality, there was just an ordinary guy sitting under a beach umbrella. The boarding area was about 50 meters away from there, and it might be more accurate to say it was near the beach in front of the Halekulani Hotel.

Additionally, I was informed on-site that the sailing would start 30 minutes late. As expected, it's Hawaii time! If you have plans after sailing, I think it's good to be aware that such things can happen.

風がとても強い日の参加となりました。
ぬれることは覚悟でしたが・・・・半端じゃなかったです。
水着で参加するほうがいいと思います。
とても楽しいですが、優雅にセーリングというより、スリル満点のバナナボートって感じでした。
ただ、チェックインは、アウトリガーホテル裏のビーチでの受付だということで、受付の人を探すのに手間取りました。
それらしい格好をした人を探していたのですが、実際は、砂浜のパラソルの下に普通のおじさんが座ってるんです。乗船する場所は、そこから５０メートルくらい離れていて、ハレクラニホテル前ビーチのそばという方が正確かもしれません。
それから、セーリング開始が３０分遅れになることを現地で聞かされました。さすが、ハワイ時間！セーリングの後に何か予定を組まれる方は、こんなこともあるので、注意された方がいいかと思います。

I went with my two sisters in late March. My sister and I were a bit nervous since it was our first experience, but the instructor was such a nice person (and super cute!!) that all our tension disappeared.

With her assistance, all three of us were able to stand up, and we were so thrilled!! Three hours flew by in no time. It was so much fun that we immediately made a reservation for the next day. We were completely captivated by the waves in Hawaii for two days.

I definitely want to rely on Girls Who Surf again next time!!

３月下旬に３姉妹で行ってきました。
私と妹は初体験だったので、少し緊張していましたが、インストラクターのお姉さんが、それはもういい人で（しかも超カワイイ！！）さっきまでの緊張はどこへやら・・

お姉さんにアシストしてもらいながら、３人とも立てるようになり、大感激！！
３時間なんてあっとゆう間でした。
あまりの面白さに、次の日も即予約＾＾
２日間ハワイの波に夢中でした。

次回も必ずガールズ・フー･サーフさんにお世話になりたいと思ってます！！

During a company trip to Hawaii, I had been there a few times before, but for others, it was their first time. So, we decided to book parasailing, something we could all enjoy together for the first time.

We went quite far out, and the boat was pretty fast, but I didn't feel seasick at all! There was one American family besides us. A really cute little girl (maybe around 5 years old?) looked scared at first as she went up with her dad, but when they came back, she was all smiles!

We rode on a sort of two-person bench and went really high up, which allowed us to see quite far into the mountains—it felt great! When we came down, before returning to the boat, the staff played their usual prank of dipping just our bottoms in the sea, which was quite cold, but it was fun to take pictures of that moment from the boat.

Also, I was thrilled when dolphins swam around us after we went out! That's Hawaii for you! We all happily took pictures together. I think it's a great activity for families, even with small children, and I would recommend it to those who aren't into intense activities!

社員旅行で訪れたハワイ、私は何度か来たことがありましたが、他の人は初めてだったので、何かみんなで楽しめるものを、ということで、初めてこちらのパラセイリングを予約しました。
だいぶ沖に出るのですが、結構船のスピードは速いです。でも酔うようなことはありませんでした☆
私たち以外にはアメリカ人のご家族が1組。すごく可愛い女の子（まだ5歳くらいかな？）も最初は怖そうにパパと上がっていきましたが、帰ってきたときにはニッコニコでした！
二人がけのベンチのようなものに乗って、かなり高くまで上がるので、結構遠くの山が見えて気持ちがよかったです♪
下に降りてきたときは、船に戻る前にスタッフがお決まりのいたずらで、おしりだけ海にちょっとつけられるので、結構冷たいですが、その瞬間を船から写真で撮りあったりして面白かったです。
また、沖に出てからイルカが周りを泳いでくれたのに感動！さすがハワイ！みんなで喜んで写真を撮りました☆
小さい子供さんがいても家族で楽しめるし、激しいアクティビティが苦手な方にもお勧めだと思います♪

The location was hard to find, and when I called, a foreigner answered and hung up on me. When I returned after it was over, there was a sign out. The content was very good.

場所がわかりにくくＴＥＬしたけど外人が出て切れて
しまった。終わってから戻ったら看板が出してありました。
内容はとても良かったです。

The staff quality was absolutely great. We had a great time doing parasailing and it was wonderful that they walked us through every step especially since it was the first time we ever had done it. I recommend first timers to definitely go b/c it is a thrilling adventure.

Parasailing was the first tour my boyfriend and I decided to do in Oahu. It was very beautiful from 700 feet up in the air and very peaceful. The staff did a wonderful job and we were very pleased. The only disappointment was the $20.00 bills taped up and down the railing of the boat making sure that you knew to tip $20.00. We also did the Shark Tour and ATV Tour and no where else was tipping mentioned like it was here. The staff didn't insist that you tip but the dollar bills there pretty much insisted it which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, parasailing was a great choice and we would definitely do it again on a future trip!

Don't really remember how high I went, but it was great. Only think I was missing was a cold drink while I was up there. The staff were great and even gave us a little dunk as they brought us in for fun. Great time for anyone and what a great view.

The Catamaran was great. Hosts were very friendly. We saw whales and dolphins. This is well worth the price. My whole family enjoyed the ride. Hawaii was more than we ever imagined. The view from the catamaran was great. See a couple of pictures.

The view of Waikiki from the ocean is wonderful, and enjoying drinks while mingling with a diverse group of people and watching the sunset was truly delightful. I highly recommend it!

海からのぞむﾜｲｷｷの風景もさることながら、お酒を飲んでわいわい多国籍の人たちを盛り上がりながら、ｻﾝｾｯﾄをみるのは、とっても素敵でした。ぜひぜひおすすめ。

Until now, I had only been on large ship cruises, but this time I chose a yacht. Besides us, everyone else was foreign, and I liked that it didn't feel like a "Japanese option." After boarding, the staff provided explanations in English, and although there were parts I didn't understand, it added to the excitement of being in a foreign land! The boat advanced into the sea, splashing water, and it was a luxurious experience to be so close to the staff as they raised the sails and steered the boat. We didn't see any dolphins or whales, though...

I would like to use this service again.

今までは大型船のクルーズばかりでしたが、
今回はヨットにしました。
私たちのほかは、みんな外人で、”日本人向けオプション”ではない感じが良かったです。
乗船後は、スタッフから英語で説明があり、わからない部分もありましたが、またこれが異国の地だという感じで気分が高揚します！
船は水しぶきをあびながら、海へつきすすみ、
帆をあげ、舵をとるスタッフの方々も間近で、
なんともいえない贅沢な時間でした。
イルカもくじらも見ることはできませんでしたが・・・。

また利用したいと思います。

DID THIS OVER PRO BOWL WEEKEND....GREAT STAFF, FUN TIMES MEETING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY & OF COURSE, A SIMPLY AWESOME EXPERIENCE 700+ FEET IN THE AIR....

Learning to surf must be on just about everyone's 'must-do' list when they come to Hawaii. It was on mine because my Dad surfed in California while he was with the Marines.

I rented a board in Waikiki and went out on my own. Paddling is great exercise but I wasn't even able to stand up. I found an ad for Girls Who Surf in the Army MWR magazine and called them. At my first lesson, I was able to stand up and ride on a half dozen waves!

I went for another seven lessons over the next five months progressing from using a 12-foot board to being able to surf with a 7-foot board. I wanted to progress fast and the instructors at Girls Who Surf gave me the skills to do it.

Through Girls Who Surf, I gained confidence, strength endurance in my upper body and have improved my balance skills. My first lesson wore me out paddling for waves. Eight months later, I was able to paddle a mile to a surf-break then surf for an hour-and-a-half and still had energy to spare

My friend Jackie wa

Great company for a first time surfer, girls are awesome instructors who really make u feel empowered! Totally feel like I had a great surf experience.

This was my first time ever para-sailing. I went with my boyfriend and signed up for the standard package for 350ft. However, to our suprise, the boat man gave us all 3 couples on the boat the extreme package at no extra cost. It was awesome after all, at first I was hesistant of going so high up in the air because I have a slight fear of heights but, once your up there you dont feel it at all. So that was a great plus. They also offer photography on the boat so dont bother bringing your camera up there unless you have a water proof pack with a zoom lens. The only gripe we had was that we took that offer to have them help us photograph the ride, but his shutter was defective that day and our pictures didn't turn out. We went back to show them what happened and they refunded the cost to us. so overall i'll go again if i ever return to Hawaii
