All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, but I still had a great time! I think even those with a fear of heights won't find it too scary since it's over the sea! The sea breeze feels nice, and the driver, who was quite energetic, made it even better!

あいにく天気は曇りでしたがそれでもとても楽しかったです！
高所恐怖症の方でも下は海なのでそんなに怖くないとおもいます！
海風も気持ちよいし、運転手も飛ばしてくれる方(?)もテンション高めで最高です！

After finishing an early dinner, we headed to the 4th-floor venue of the Royal Hawaiian Center. With excitement building, the show began. The rock and hula show started off vibrantly and energetically. The singing and hula were wonderful, instantly immersing us in the Hawaiian spirit.

About ten hula dancers performed on stage with instruments like the uli uli and puili, and their acrobatic performances were impressive. After a while, an Elvis Presley impersonator took the stage, and he was amazing—not just in appearance but also in costume and voice! The video of the real Elvis Presley projected beside him was equally captivating.

Next up was a Michael Jackson impersonator. I was truly impressed by the professionalism of both performers! The finale featured a fire dance that was powerful, with the intensity and heat of the dancers' sweat adding to the spectacle. It was incredible!

An hour and a half flew by, and I couldn't take my eyes off the performance for a moment. With excitement still buzzing, we headed back to the hotel, having truly enjoyed a wonderful evening.

早めの夕食を済ませて、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階会場へ。
ワクワクしながら、、さあ始まりました。
ロックフラショーが華やかに賑やかにスタートです。
歌もフラも素敵で一気にハワイアンの気分で盛り上がりました。
10人位のフラダンサーがウリウリやプイリの楽器を持って舞台狭しとダンスされたり、アクロバットを取り入れたパフォーマンスも見ごたえありました。
しばらくすると、エルビスプレスリーのそっくりさん、容姿だけでなく衣装も歌声も素晴らしい！舞台横に映し出されたエルビスプレスリーご本人の映像と何ら引けなく、釘付けです。
なんと次はマイケルジャクソンのそっくりさんです。
おふたりのプロ意識には感服しました！
最後はファイアーダンスです。迫力があり、熱さもダンサーの汗も飛び散ってくる迫力でした。凄い！ていう言葉しかありません。
あっという間の一時間半、片時も目を離さずにはいられません。
興奮冷めやらぬ気持ちでホテルに向かいましたが、本当に楽しい夜を過ごせました。

Great time parasailing. The boat crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience! The check in process was very smooth, and they even offer photo services which is a great idea

It was our last day on the island and this turned out to be what we needed! Next time we visit we will have to make this a daily thing to start our day, drinks, boat rides, good people and whale sight seeing was a bonus! Thanks for the good times guys!

I was finally able to see the Rock-a-Hula show again after a long time (maybe the third time?). You can enjoy a high-level show featuring impersonators of Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and some people I didn't recognize (laughs), along with a hula show. However, it seemed like Michael Jackson was a bit tired? I felt that his sharpness was slightly lacking. Still, it brought back memories of that time, and I had a very moving and enjoyable experience. The venue is located within the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, making it easily accessible for older individuals, so I highly recommend it.

久しぶりに、ロック・ア・フラショーを観る事が出来ました。（多分、3回目？）エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソン、知らない人（笑）のそっくりさん達と、フラショーを交えたレベルの高いショーが楽しめます。ただ、マイケル・ジャクソンさん、少しお疲れだったのでしょうか？あのキレッ！キレ！さが少し欠けていたように感じました。それでも、当時の事を思い出し、とても感動し、楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。開催場所も、ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内にあり、高齢な方でも気軽にアクセスしやすい場所なので、お勧めします。

3 mia tias and I made the score. Landed a full blooded Japanese kuddle fish used a worm as bait. Highly recommend.

We went with a couple in their 30s and 20s, along with four children aged 1 and 2! I didn't have high expectations because the price was low compared to other hula shows, but it pleasantly surprised me.

The entertainment was a mix of various genres, including rock and roll, Hawaiian music, and hula dancing! What stood out the most was the show featuring Michael Jackson, which I know well. His classic songs were performed live by a band, and there was also a collaboration with dance footage of Michael himself, which got everyone in the audience excited. However, during Michael's "Thriller," the children started crying, so families with kids might want to sit further back, haha. There was also an Elvis Presley show, but since I wasn't very familiar with that artist, I wished I had studied more about him.

The hula dance show was also a highlight. They showcased hula dancing, an essential part of Hawaiian culture, with energetic performances that made us feel vibrant. The fire dance, in particular, was an impressive performance!!

The performance lasted about an hour, which was a manageable time for the kids, and since it was right in the heart of Waikiki, the access was great. I think it's a very easy-going hula show to participate in. I definitely want to go again next time!

30代と20代の夫妻、そして1歳児、2歳児の子どもたち4名で行ってきました！
他のフラショーと異なり、金額が安いため、そこまで期待していなかったのですが、良い意味でそれは裏切られました。

ロックンロールやハワイアンミュージック、フラダンスなど、様々なジャンルが織り交ぜられたエンターテインメントでした！特に印象に残ったのは、私もよく知っているマイケル・ジャクソンのショーでした。生演奏のバンドと共にマイケルの名曲が演奏され、その後にはマイケル本人のダンス映像とのコラボレーションもあり、会場全員ノリノリになっていました。
ただ、マイケルのスリラーで、子どもたちが泣き出してしまったので、子連れ家族は後ろの座席のほうがいいかもしれません笑
また、エルビスプレスリーのショーもあったのですが、こちらは私があまりその歌手を知らなかったので、もっと勉強しておけばよかったと思いました。

フラダンスのショーも見どころのひとつでした。ハワイアンカルチャーに欠かせないフラダンスを、エネルギッシュな演出と共に披露しているため、見ているこちらも華やかな気持ちになりました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻のパフォーマンスでした！！

パフォーマンスの時間も1時間程度と時間拘束も少なく、子どもたちも飽きず、かつ、ワイキキど真ん中の会場のためアクセスも良くて、非常に気軽に参加できるフラショーだと思います。ぜひ次も行きます！

March 11, 8 AM Course

We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory with a cheerful instructor and four groups. Thank you very much.

３月１１日 ８時発コース

天候にも恵まれて、４組で陽気なインストラクターで素晴らしい思い出になりました。
どうもありがとうございました。

The people were fantastic and the fishing was great! My son (10) and I had a blast! My son also really enjoyed seeing whales and sea turtles on our trip. We highly recommend this excursion for anyone!

I used this for my honeymoon. The weather was perfect on the day, and with calm winds, we had a stunning view of Diamond Head and the entire Maunalua Bay area, creating the best memories.

*Since the boat is small, it does sway quite a bit (which is fun too), but if you are prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must. It takes a bit of time to get out to sea.

The parasailing time is 6-7 minutes, but it was thrilling enough, so it felt like plenty of time.

The captain and the pilot were both very cheerful and unique, making for a fun experience throughout!

ハネムーンで利用しました。当日は天気に恵まれ、風も落ち着いた中、ダイヤモンドヘッドからマワラ湾一帯を一望でき、最高の思い出になりました。

※船が小型のため、なかなか揺れます(それも楽しいですが)乗り物酔いしやすい方は酔い止め必須です。
沖に出るまでそれなりに移動します。

パラセイル時間は6-7分ですが、スリル満点のため、十分な時間でした。

キャプテンと操縦士もとても明るくユニークな方で、終始楽しいひとときでした！

Amazing time. Great to see see the sunset with. Thanks again

Excellent and fun crew and was a highlight for all 6 of us on vacation. Incredible sunset, City and Diamondhead views. Even saw a few whales! Great value for the price and will definitely do it again.

It was fun but with limited drinks. We didn't get a chance to jump in the water or really experience the sea.

Our entire family had so much fun on this excursion. The staff were so friendly and informative. Bring an underwater camera for great picture opportunities.

I made a reservation because I wanted to enjoy a meal while listening to live music, but the seat I was shown didn't have a view of the performance, so I quickly asked to be moved. Up to that point, everything was fine, but the waitress who saw the printed voucher insisted that she had never seen such content before and claimed it was outdated. I strongly protested, and even after showing her the e-voucher and reservation email, she remained unconvinced and made me wait for over five minutes.

Finally, as if nothing had happened, she came to take our order, but without any apology, which left me feeling quite displeased! During our meal, other staff members came by a few times to check on us, but… In the end, the initial waitress apologized for her lack of understanding, but unfortunately, it didn't lead to an enjoyable dining experience. I realized that this is what Outrigger Reef is like.

生演奏を聴きながら食事をしたくて予約しましたが、案内された席は演奏が見えない席でしたのですぐに変えていただきました。そこまでは良かったのですが、印刷したバウチャーを見たウェイトレスはこんな内容は見たことが無い。古い内容だと言い張ります。私も強く抗議し、eバウチャーや予約メールも見せても納得せず5分以上待たされました。
何事もなかった様にやっとオーダーに来ましたが、謝罪もなく気分良くはありませんね！食事中に他の従業員は何度かご機嫌伺いにきましたが…
最後の最後に最初のウェイトレスが自分の認識不足だったと謝罪してきましたが残念ながら楽しい食事にはなりませんでした。アウトリガーリーフってこの程度なんだと納得

I watched it on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii.
You can listen to music from famous people in America who have connections to Hawaii.
It's very well done and interesting, with performances that you wouldn't see in Japan, so I think it's worth a look.
However, the music being played is somewhat dated, so if you're in your 30s, it might lack excitement.
I was able to watch it until the end, but my companion, since it was the first day of our arrival, slept through the whole thing from start to finish! (laughs)

ハワイ到着初日に視聴。
アメリカで有名な人の音楽でかつハワイに縁のある人の音楽が聴けます。
とても、上手で面白く、日本ではみないような演出をしてくださるので、一見の価値はあるかと思います。
ただ、流れてくる音楽の世代がいささか古いので、30代前後だと面白味に欠ける可能性はあるかもしれません。
僕は最後までしっかり見れましたが、連れは到着初日ということもあり最初から最後までずっと寝てました笑

We had a great time on this catamaran ride. The boat was very nice and the crew was very attentive.

I wanted to do some sightseeing and was looking for various tours. Most required at least two participants, and some tour companies even had options where you had to pay for two people. However, I ultimately found a tour company that met my conditions. The tour content exceeded my expectations, but what really stood out was the fun and engaging talk from our tour guide, Kanako. It was so enjoyable that I would have gladly paid extra for it from the beginning to the end of the tour!

As someone who was participating alone and didn't speak English, Kanako helped me with my order at Matsumoto Shave Ice and invited me to join her table when I was wandering around alone. I had a great time during the free time, and a young woman from the same tour company who was on her day off even took pictures for me and offered support in various ways. Thank you for that, even on your day off. I don't get to come to Hawaii often, but if I have the chance to come again and can request a guide, I would definitely want to book Kanako's tour again. I highly recommend it to everyone!

観光がしたくて色々とツアーを探してました。大半が2名以上からの参加で1名では申し込みができず中には2名分支払えば可能などというツアー会社もある中、最終的に自分の条件に合ったツアー会社さんを見つけることができました。ツアー内容も予想以上に満足いく内容でしたが、なんと言ってもツアーガイドのカナコさんのトークの楽しさにはツアーの始まりから終了まで別料金払ってもいいほどヤバかったです 笑 また1人参加で英語も分からない私にマツモトシェイブアイス店では注文時に手助けもして下さり1人でウロウロしてたところ一緒のテーブルに誘ってくれてフリータイムも楽しく過ごせましたし、オフを使ってツアーに参加をしてた同じツアー会社の若い女性の方にも写真を撮って頂いたり何かとフォローをしてくださいました。オフなのにありがとうございました。ハワイに来ることは中々できませんが次に来ることがあるならば指名が出来るのならば、またカナコさんのツアーを申し込みしたいと思います。皆さん、絶対におススメですよ！！

I participated in a whale watching tour on March 4th. I was torn between a large cruise ship and a smaller one, but I decided to go with the smaller cruise ship, thinking it might get closer to the whales when we spotted them.

At the meeting point, there was no reception, and the staff who were on the returning cruise ship handled the check-in, which left me a bit confused about whether I was in the right place while waiting.

They did move a bit closer, getting within about 100 meters, and I was able to take great videos and photos with my smartphone's 2x zoom.

There were options not just for the five mountains, but also for morning, late morning, and early afternoon, allowing for flexibility in scheduling with other options and making effective use of my time.

3月4日のホエールウォッチングに参加
　大きいクルーズ船と迷ったが小さいクルーズ船の方がホエールを見つけた際、少しでも近づけるのではと今回申込みをしました
　集合場所では受付が無く戻ってきたクルーズ船に乗っているスタッフが受付をする為、待っている間ここで良いのか戸惑いました

やはり少しずつ移動をしてくれて100ｍ辺りまで近づいてくれスマホの2倍望遠でも十分動画、写真が取ることが出来ました

時間も五山だけで無く、朝・昼前・昼過ぎから選べるので他のオプションとのセッティングも出来時間を有効に使う事が出来ました

I signed up without meals. It was enjoyable enough. The fire show was particularly impressive. I was surprised to see a hula dancer with a big belly.

食事なしに申し込みました。それなりに楽しめます。ファイアショーが特に迫力があってよかったです。フラのダンサーにおなかが大きい人がいて
びっくりしました。

On my last trip to Hawaii, I participated in a sunset cruise and had a great time, so this time, since the day before my return was a Friday, I joined a fireworks viewing cruise. It seems that some other tours don't allow you to see the sunset due to departure times, but this tour lets you enjoy both. There are sightseeing boats and yachts, but I recommend the yacht. It departs from in front of the Prince Hotel, and you can get there from Waikiki by taking bus numbers 20, 23, or 42. On the way back, I took the E bus. Tips are separate, and there was a box provided for them when disembarking.

前回のハワイ旅行ではサンセットクルーズに参加してとても良かったので、今回は帰国前日が金曜だったこともあり花火鑑賞のクルーズに参加しました。他のツアーでは出発時間の関係で夕日が見られないツアーもあるようですが、このツアーは両方見られます。船は遊覧船とヨットがありますがヨットの方がお勧めです。プリンスホテルの前から出航ですが、ワイキキからは20，23，42番のバスで移動できます。帰りはEに乗りました。チップは別で下船の際に入れる箱が用意されていました。

Had a very good time, swimming with the turtles was amazing, drinks were very good, ship was in great shape.

Since they are wild whales, I suppose it's understandable, but I could only see them spouting water from a distance and their tails. It was hard to tell whether they were whales or dolphins.

野生のクジラなので仕方がないと思いますが、遠くに潮を吹く姿、尾ひれくらいしか見られませんでした。その位なのでクジラなのかイルカなのか区別がつかない感じでした。

It was a fun experience at night in Waikiki. You can participate without a mask. After ordering a Blue Hawaii at the bar counter, I was able to enjoy the show.

The distance between the audience and the dancers was just right.

Men swam down from the ceiling, and there were performances featuring Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, fire dancing, and hula, all packed into one exciting show. Time flew by as the energy continued to build.

At the end, there was a great bonus where you could take photos with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.

ワイキキの夜の楽しい体験です。マスクなしで参加出来ます。バーカウンターでブルーハワイをオーダーしてから観劇出来ました。

観客とダンサー達の距離感がちょうど良く

天井から男性が泳いできたり
エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソン　ファイヤーダンスにフラとてんこ盛り。盛り上がり続けてあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。

最後はエルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンとお写真が撮れるという大サービスもありました。

I signed up for a plan with my family for 5 people. Since it was my first time trying SUP, I booked a private lesson. In the first 5 to 10 minutes, we received explanations on how to hold the paddle, how to get on the board, and how to stand, and then we headed to the sea. After that, it felt like we were practicing on our own.

On the day, the wind was strong, making it difficult for beginners to stand and paddle. While sitting on the board, the instructor helped us ride the waves, and even though we struggled, we managed to have fun. However, I didn't feel like I received much of a lesson.

Also, I thought the photos were quite expensive. It was $30 per person, totaling $150 for 5 people, with each person getting about 10 photos (including similar ones).

5名参加プランに家族で申込しました
SUPは初めてだったので、プライベートレッスンを申し込みましたが、最初の5〜10分程でパドルの持ち方、ボードの乗り方、立ち方の説明を受け、海へ
その後は、各自実践という感じで‥
当日は風も強くて、初心者には立ってパドルを漕ぐのは難しかったです

ボードに座った状態で、インストラクターさんが波に乗せてくたりして、できないなりに楽しく過ごせましたが、レッスンを受けた感じはないかな

あとは、やはり写真が高いかなぁと思いました
1人30ドル、5人で150ドルでした
1人だいたい10枚（同じような写真を含めて）

My fiance and I had such a wonderful time on this cruise! It was our first time snorkeling, and we were a little nervous (for fellow first timers, the apparatus feels a little uncomfortable and claustrophobic on the boat, but feels so much better in the water)! However, the whole crew put us at ease and were super patient with us, helping us to get the perfect fit with our goggles and apparatus. Nicole even gave me one of her hair ties when I forgot mine! The lifeguards were great, helping us to find the best spots to watch turtles and fish, taught us a ton, and even dove down to get an octopus for us to pet. They were great about checking on everyone and making sure we were ok, comfortable, and having fun. The music and mai tais were excellent, and everyone was so friendly and sweet. They offered to take pictures without us even asking! This cruise is such an amazing deal for the price, and was for sure one of the highlights of our first trip to Oahu. My only advice is to be near Duke's at the Outrigger early, there is not super clear signage for where the boat comes in, so go to the bathroom and bring everything you might need so you have time to find the boat. Thanks for an amazing time!

Our kids had so much fun on their first ever boat trip (1&3)! We saw a pod of dolphins and the captain steered the boat towards them and we go to see the dolphins right up close. It was so magical and the highlight of our trip!

entire crew was so wonderful. Very attentive , asked everyone where they were fro and really interacted with guests one on one . I mean I just loved it and would do it 20 more times

It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.

参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。

I visited on Wednesday night.
Dinner while listening to live music was very nice!
The staff were friendly, and the food was very delicious.
The portions were quite large, so I took home what I couldn't finish.
There was a long line for those without reservations, and they were waiting quite a while (about 30 minutes for one group), so it was good that I made a reservation for the course.
This was the most memorable experience of my stay in Hawaii.

水曜日の夜に伺いました。
生歌を聞きながらのディナーとても良かったです！
スタッフの方の感じも良かったしお料理もとても美味しかったです。
料理の量が多めだったので食べきれない分はテイクアウトして持ち帰りました。
予約なしの人たちは行列ができていてかなり待ってた（一組大体3０分程の待ち）ので、コースにはなりますが予約していって良かったです。
今回のハワイ滞在で最も心に残っている体験です。
