All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

It seems that the departure is after sunset to coincide with the fireworks, so the two hours in the dark are quite boring. It's impossible to swim, and I wonder where they expected us to swim?? There's no space to move since it's cramped, and we just have to endure sitting until the fireworks. It's cold, dark, and scary... and there's no restroom. I was looking forward to this since I had a great time on another company's catamaran last year, but it's disappointing.

花火に合わせなのか、サンセット後に出港なので
暗闇の中の2時間は退屈です。とても泳ぐなんて無理だし、どこで泳がせようとしたのか？？
狭いので動けるスペースもなく、座ったまま
ひたすら花火まで耐える感じです。
寒いし暗くて怖いし、、、トイレもないし。
昨年、他社のカタマランが楽しかったので期待してたのですが残念です。

At first, I couldn't find the meeting place and ended up wandering around Waikiki Beach several times, but since most people are participating for the first time, I wish there were some more noticeable features. The boat had quite a speed and sway, but there was unlimited Mai Tais and champagne. It was great to see the fireworks as well. The crew seemed experienced, which made me feel at ease.

最初集合場所が見つけられずワイキキビーチを何度も散策してしまいましたが、初めてこれに参加する人がほとんどなのでもうちょっと目立つような工夫が欲しいです。船は結構なスピードと揺れがありましたがマイタイとシャンパンが飲み放題でした。花火もしっかり見れて良かったです。クルーも手慣れた感じがあり安心できました。

Among the two female staff members at the reception, one spoke Japanese. The two male staff members who joined us on the boat only spoke English, but they were very energetic throughout the trip, using gestures to keep us entertained, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English.

On the day of the activity, there was a downpour in the morning, and the weather wasn't great. We went parasailing despite the boat rocking heavily. I regretted not taking motion sickness medication, thinking I would be fine since I had never felt seasick before...

While we were flying, it was okay, but when other groups were parasailing, the boat was rocking violently the whole time, which was the toughest part.

There were a total of five groups of customers, including us: three Japanese couples, one young foreign couple, and one elderly couple. One Japanese man was in a groggy state from start to finish, which was unfortunate...

The view of Hawaii's cityscape and Diamond Head from above while parasailing was amazing!!! This part was truly enjoyable!!

During the flight, the staff took photos for us. About 50 photos were saved to a memory card for $30. However, we were informed about this just before taking off, which felt a bit sudden.
"Photos for $30! What do you want to do?!"
"Y-yes!"
"YEAH! GO!"
...something like that. It would be better to decide in advance whether to say YES or NO. The purchased photos turned out very beautiful, and I was glad I bought them!

Parasailing was incredibly fun! However, I should not have overestimated my physical condition and should have taken motion sickness medication. Otherwise, like me, you might end up spending the afternoon sleeping in the hotel...

受付スタッフの女性2人のうち、1人は日本語の話せる方でした。
一緒に船に乗る男性スタッフ2人は英語オンリーでしたが、終始テンションが高くて（笑）身振り手振りで楽しませてくれたので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫でした。

当日は朝からスコールがあり、天気はイマイチ。沖に出て船が大きく揺れる中でパラセーリングを強行。
乗り物酔いをしたことなかったため、自分は大丈夫と思って酔い止めを飲んでいなかった事を後悔…

飛んでる最中は大丈夫でしたが、他のグループがパラセーリングをしている時はずーっと激しく揺れているのでそれが一番辛かったです。

お客さんは私たち含めて日本人カップル3組、外国人の若いカップル1組、老夫婦1組の計5組。
日本人の男性1人が最初から最後までグロッキー状態で可哀想でした…

パラセーリング中の、上から眺めるハワイの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは最高！！！この時間は本当に楽しかったです！！

飛んでる最中はスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれます。
約50枚をメモリーカードに入れて$30。
ただ、飛ぶ直前にその案内をされるので、今それ聞くの？って感じでした（笑）
「写真$30で買えるよ！どうする？！」
「い、いえーす！」
「YEAH！GO！」
…みたいな（笑）
あらかじめYESかNOか決めておいた方が良さそう。購入した写真はとても綺麗で、買ってよかったです！

パラセーリング凄く楽しかったです！
でも自分の体調を過信せず、素直に酔い止めを飲むべき。
でないと、私のようにその日の午後はホテルで寝て過ごすことになってしまいます…（笑）

We participated as a couple, and even without speaking any English, we had no problem enjoying ourselves! The staff, including the transportation team, were very friendly! For those who are a bit anxious, here are some recommendations:

1. If you're worried about the language barrier! The Google Translate app is very useful.

2. If you're concerned about getting seasick! I recommend BONINE (motion sickness medication), which is sold at ABC Store!

夫婦で参加しましたが、
英語全く喋れなくても
問題なく楽しめましたよ！
送迎の方も含め、とても気さくな方々
でした！
心配症な方へ、以下オススメですが

①それでも言葉の壁が心配な方！
グーグル翻訳のアプリ便利です

②船酔いしないか心配な方！
ABC ストアでも売っている
BONINE(酔い止め薬)がオススメ！

Service was decent , drink options weren’t as listed

The day before, when I went for a preview, the catamaran returned from the afternoon sailing. To my surprise, two honu (sea turtles) chased right up to the shore. The passengers were thrilled!
The next day, we were blessed with perfect weather for the evening sailing. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach from the sea was amazing!! The Mai Tai was delicious, but the Don〇〇 was also fantastic!! Towards the golden sunset, we all cheered!!
During the magic hour, the music started. Guests from all over the world were having a blast!! Dancing, singing, cheers! Cheers!
We enjoyed the best sunset sailing!!

前日、下見に行ったら、昼便のセーリングから帰ってきたカタマラン号。なんとホヌ（ウミガメ）２頭が海岸近くまで追っかけてきました。乗客も大喜び！
翌日は最高のお天気に恵まれ、イブニングセーリングへ。海上からダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキビーチ全景も最高！！マイタイも美味しいけれど、ドン〇
〇も最高！！　黄金色の夕陽に向かって、みんなでcheers！！
マジックアワーは、ミュージックスタート。世界各地からのゲストが大フィーバー！！　踊って、歌って、乾杯！乾杯！
最高のサンセットセーリングを楽しみました！！

The scenery was absolutely beautiful and I had a great time!
You can take a lot of lovely photos.
All the guidance is in English, but I think even those who don't understand English can enjoy it.
It's a chance to make friends with foreign people you meet there. You can take photos together and bond.
If you're prone to seasickness or feel a bit uneasy, it's better to take some motion sickness medication. The boat can sway quite a bit, haha.
The first day I booked was canceled due to a thunderstorm, but I was able to reschedule for another day at the reception, and I successfully went on the trip two days later.
It might be a good idea to book early and have some buffer days in case of cancellations, rather than planning it for the last day of your trip.

Please enjoy your trip!

とっても景色が良くて楽しかったです！
綺麗な写真がたくさん撮れます。
案内などは全て英語ですが、英語がわからない人でも楽しめると思います。
一緒になった外国の人達とも仲良くなれるチャンスです。一緒に写真など撮って仲良くなれます。
船酔いしやすい人や少しでも不安な方は酔い止め飲んでいったほうがいいです。結構激しく揺れます笑
わたしが最初に予約した日はサンダーストームで欠航になってしまったのですが、別日にそのまま振替できるとのことで、受付で2日後に変更して、無事2日後に乗ることができました。
旅行の最終日とかではなく、早めに予約して欠航になっても振替れる余裕日を設けておいた方が良いかもしれません。

ぜひ楽しんで行ってきてください！

The hula dance show right in front of us was very powerful and absolutely worth watching. My family was also very satisfied. I would love to see a hula dance show again when I visit Hawaii.

目の前でのフラダンスショーはとても迫力があり、見ごたえ満点でした。
家族も大満足でした。ハワイを訪れた際はまたフラダンスショーを観に行きたいです。

I had a bit of anxiety at first since I had never been on one, but in reality, there was no need to worry. It seems both of them really enjoyed it.
- They felt a sense of unity with the wind and the sunset.
- There was a chance to talk with other tourists in a small group.
- The all-you-can-drink cocktails were delicious.

My parents were very happy about it.

私も乗った事がないので当初は少し不安がありましたが、実際は心配無用でした。
二人共 とても楽しめたようです。
ー風やサンセットと一体感を感じた
ー少人数グループで他の観光客とも話すチャンスが
あった
ー飲み放題のカクテルが美味しかった

と両親は喜んでいました。

Since dinner was light, I was able to focus on the sunset, which was quite nice! The tour guide was cheerful, and the service was excellent. It was a fulfilling two-hour tour! I would love to participate again next time!

夕食が軽食なため夕日に集中でき、
かなり良かったです！！
ツアーの方も陽気でサービスも
ばっちりでした。
充実した2時間ツアーでした！！
また次回も参加したいツアーです！

What a beautiful night cruising the bay with amazing views of Diamond Head, Koko Head and the City of Waikiki! The girl crew, Jenn and Jess, were really friendly. Offering to take our picture and refilling our drinks when needed. Awesome way to spend a couple hours in Waikiki.

It was amazing to hear the requested songs. I definitely want to come back to Honolulu again on Tuesday.

リクエストの曲も歌っていただき最高でした。
Honoluluにまた、火曜日に来たら是非来たいと
思います。

On the first day in Hawaii, I participated in a VIP course dinner. The lobster was delicious, and overall, I think the portions were quite large. I went in hungry, but I ended up feeling too full to finish the dessert. During the meal, staff came around to offer extra bread, coffee, and tea, but since I was in the middle of my steak, I thought I would have coffee afterward and declined. After that, they never returned... The coffee and tea can get cold before dessert, so I think it's a good idea to request them when they come around if you want some.

The show was enjoyable, with music that I recognized. I was there mainly to see Michael, so I was happy to watch the dance. The hula dance was lovely, and although the fire dance was brief, it was impressive and fun. I wished it could have been longer. My companion, perhaps due to jet lag and being full, found the music to be like a lullaby and dozed off. (laughs)

I think anyone interested in Michael would find it enjoyable!

ハワイ初日にVIPコースディナーに参加しました。
食事はロブスターが美味しかったです。全体的に量が多めだと思います。空腹で行きましたが、苦しくてデザートを残してしまいました。食事中にパンの追加、コーヒー、紅茶を配るスタッフがきてくれましたが、ステーキの食事中だったので、食後にコーヒーをと思い、断ってしまったら、二度と現れませんでした・・。コーヒー、紅茶はデザート前に冷めてしまいますが、配りに来たタイミングでほしい方は頼むと良いと思います。
ショーは音楽も知っている曲ばかりで楽しかったです。マイケルさん目当ての参加だったのでダンスが見れて嬉しかったです。フラダンスも素敵で、ファイヤーダンスも最後に少しだけでしたが迫力があり楽しめました。時間が短いのでもっと長く見たかったです。連れは時差ぼけもあったせいか、お腹もいっぱいでショーの音楽が子守唄のようになり、うとうとしてました。(笑)
マイケルさんに興味のある方は楽しいと思います！

It was a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday and will be remembered for years to come! Thanks for finding my cell phone

This jet coaster truly cuts through the vast ocean waves! It was an unprecedentedly fun experience. The interactions with the surfer friends of the captain we met out at sea, along with the beauty of the sun and ocean, are sights unique to Hawaii. In a sense, it's a hard marine sport and, in another sense, an adventure, but there's no doubt you'll enjoy it. There were no Japanese participants, and everything was in English, but it's perfect for enjoying Hawaii. I definitely want to participate again. The champagne on the ocean was also the best! (Make sure to wear clothes that can get wet!)

まさに大海原を波をかき分け進んで行くジェットコースター！未だかつてない楽しい経験でした。沖で出会う船長さんの知り合いのサーファーとの掛け合いや、太陽と海の美しさはハワイならではの光景でしょう。ある意味、マリンスポーツ、ある意味冒険のハードなものですが、楽しめること間違いなしです。日本人の参加はありませんでしたし、全て英語ですが、ハワイを楽しむにはもってこいです。是非また参加したいです。海の上でのシャンパンも最高でした！(参加時には濡れても大丈夫な服装で！)

Last time, I enjoyed the sunset on the catamaran, and this year I wanted my son's family to see the sunset too, so I participated. Next, I'm planning to go to Hawaii with my wife's sisters, so I think I'll join again.
The sunset is amazing! The view of Diamond Head from the sea and the night scenery of Waikiki are always fantastic, no matter how many times I see them.

前回、カタマラン号でサンセットを満喫しましたが、今年は息子家族にもサンセットを見せたくて参加しました。今度は、妻の姉妹とハワイに行く予定なので、また参加しようと思っています。
サンセット最高！海から見たダイヤモンドヘッドや、ワイキキの夜景も何度見ても最高です。

I was really looking forward to parasailing. It had been postponed several times due to bad weather, but finally, I was able to fly this time.

Mr. Yano, who came to pick me up, made the car ride lively with his funny Japanese.

Since we departed from the harbor next to the Hilton, it's very close if you're staying at a hotel around Waikiki, which is great.

Putting on the harness made me nervous, but once I took off, it felt amazing. It was truly like a walk in the sky! I felt like a bird.

I plan to sign up for this every time I go to Hawaii in the future. I hope to see Mr. Yano again.

Thank you very much.

とても楽しみにしていたパラセイリング。これまで何度も天候不良などで、遂行されず、念願かなってやっと今回は、飛ぶことが出来ました。
お迎えに来てくださった「やのさん」面白い日本語を使いながら、車内を盛り上げてくれました。
ヒルトンのお隣のハーバーから出港なので、ワイキキ周辺のホテルからなら、非常に近くて良いですよ。
ハーネスを付けるとドキドキしますが、飛び上がってしまえば、最高に気持ち良いです。まさに空中散歩！鳥になった気分でした。
今後も、ハワイに行く度に、申し込む予定です。
また、「やのさん」に会えるといいな。
ありがとうございました。

I had a very enjoyable time. When traveling abroad, I always make sure to include some kind of show. This time, I opted for the VIP course dinner at the Rock-a-Hula show. The location is on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, which is very convenient.

I was supposed to meet at 6:15 but arrived late at 6:30, and there was no problem. However, they do check the voucher thoroughly, so I recommend either printing it out or taking a screenshot.

Fortunately, arriving late meant I got a seat in the back, which I think was better for viewing than the front row. The first dish was lobster! The staff came around to crack the claws and take out the meat for us. They were very friendly and warm, checking on our drinks and timing the next dishes perfectly. After enjoying a leisurely meal, the show began.

There was hula dancing, fire dancing, rock, and pop music, all beautifully combined, making it an entertaining experience without any dull moments. The audience seemed to be relatively older, but I noticed that my daughters in their teens and twenties also enjoyed it, so I believe anyone can have a great time watching.

I had a thoroughly satisfying experience. Thank you!

とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
海外旅行の際は、必ず、何かショーを組み込むようにしています。今回は、ロック・ア・フラショーのVIPコースディナーにしてみました。
場所は、ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階なので、非常に便利。
6:15集合のところ6:30に遅れて行きましたが、問題なし。ただ、しっかりバウチャーをチェックされますので、印刷するか、スクリーンショットをして行かれることをお勧めします。
遅く行ったことが幸いし、後方の席となり、最前列より、見やすかったと思います。
一品目は、ロブスター！ホールスタッフが席を回り、爪を割って、身を取り出してくれます。その後も、ドリンクを聞いてくれたり、次のお料理のタイミングを見てくれたり、とてもフレンドリーで温かい接客です。ゆっくり食事を楽しんだ後に、ショーが始まります。
フラダンスあり、ファイヤーダンスあり、ロックや、ポップスもあり、それらが見事に組み合わさって、飽きることなく楽しめます。
お客様の年齢層は比較的高めな方が多いように思いますが、20代10代の娘たちも楽しんでいたので、どなたが観られても楽しめると思います。
大満足の時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました。

I felt that the quality of the show has dropped a bit since the last time I saw it. Overall, there were quite a few empty seats. Even the cheapest seats offer a good view, so it's okay.

前回見た時より、ショーの質が少し落ちた様に感じました。
全体的に空席も多かったです。一番安い席でも良く見えるので大丈夫です。

The Manu Kai Catamaran crew was amazing! They were very welcoming and entertaining! They were constantly checking on us about drinks and making sure we were comfortable. The sunset/scenic views were absolutely stunning. It was well worth what you paid, with drinks included! I would highly recommend. Mahalo!

I splurged a bit and got seats in the VIP section in front of the stage, and it was really great. The range of music from flamenco to pop was wide, and the time flew by.

ちょっと奮発してVIPのステージ前席にしましたが、とてもよかったです。
フランダンスからポップミュージックまで幅広く、あっという間の時間でした。

This was my second time using this service, following last year. The waves were quite high and it was a bit rocky, but you can see the coastline lined with hotels and a different view of Diamond Head from off Waikiki. Mai Tais and other alcoholic drinks are all-you-can-drink, and since I overindulged last year, I kept it moderate this time and enjoyed taking pictures of the scenery. Next time, I’d like to invite my sons to join!

昨年に続き、二回目の利用でした。
結構波が高く揺れましたが、ワイキキ沖から見るホテルが並ぶ海岸線や、ダイアモンドヘッドのまた違った表情を見ることができます。
マイタイや他のアルコールも飲み放題で、昨年は飲み過ぎたので、今年は控えめにして、景色の撮影を楽しみました。
次回は息子たちを誘って利用したいですね！

I ended up eating a bit too much for lunch, so I couldn't enjoy the meal I was looking forward to. Even though I had ordered sparkling wine, I couldn't drink it during the meal and got scolded by my wife for my lack of planning. However, I was able to bring it to my seat to enjoy while watching the show, which turned out to be a nice experience.

The staff was very busy taking care of meals and taking photos from the moment we checked in. When the show started, they were also performing, and I was impressed by their incredible multitasking. However, I felt that there were many impersonators of Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley in the show. Since I often see these two in Las Vegas shows, I would have preferred a stronger local flavor from Hawaii.

昼御飯をちょっと多く食べてしまい、楽しみだった食事はあまり食べることができませんでした。スパークリングワインも追加オーダーしていたのに、食事中には飲むことができず、妻から計画性のなさに怒られてしまいました。しかしショーを見る客席に持ち込むことができ、ショーを見ながらゆっくり飲めたので、逆によかった気がします。
スタッフはチェックインの時から食事の世話や写真撮影で大忙しでした。
ショーが始まったらそこにも出演していて、八面六臂の大活躍で感心しました。ただ、ショーの中身としては、マイケルジャクソンやエルビスプレスリーのそっくりさんの出演部分が多かったと思います。この二人はラスベガスのショーでも多く見かけるので、ハワイのローカル色がもう少し強い方が好きです。

I had reserved a seat in the front, but in reality, I had a great view from the third row. It was a seat directly in front of the stage, which was wonderful. I received a fresh flower lei and had a great time. Since the seats are not assigned, it seems you can sit in the front if you arrive early. Be careful of the pigeons wandering around your feet; you might accidentally step on them.

前の方の席を予約していたのですが、実際、3列目でよく見えました。舞台の真正面の席で、良かったです。生花のレイをかけてもらえ、楽しい時間を過ごせました。席は決まっていないので、早目に行くと前に座れるようです。鳩が足元をうろうろしているので、足元に注意が必要です。踏みつけそうになります。

The Sunset Sailing offered by Hilton is more expensive compared to those from Sheraton or Outrigger, but since I was staying at Hilton, I chose this tour. It was great that the meeting place was close, allowing me to use the time before departure meaningfully. Although the limit was set to two alcoholic drinks, the crew didn't seem to collect the vouchers. As a result, I was able to enjoy as many drinks as I wanted. Perhaps due to the alcohol, I didn't feel the sway of the boat at all. I was also satisfied to see a beautiful sunset. I gave a generous tip as a thank you.

ヒルトン発のサンセットセーリングは、シェラトン発やアウトリガー発に比べ料金が高いですが、ヒルトンに宿泊していたのでこのツアーを選びました。
集合場所が近いので出発までの時間を有意義に使えて良かったです。
アルコールは２杯までとなっていましたが、クルーが引換券を受け取ろうとせず。結果的には何杯でもいただくことが出来ました。
アルコールで酔ったせいか、船の揺れはまったく感じませんでした。
きれいな夕日も見ることができ満足です。
お礼にチップを多めに渡してきました。

The guide was a delightful person, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Since there isn't time to change before and after the flight, I think it's best to go dressed appropriately to board the boat and fly right away. I participated from 150m, and the flight time was just right—not too long and not too short. I put my smartphone in a waterproof case, and I was able to take many photos and videos while flying, which made for wonderful memories! Thank you very much!

ガイドさんが愉快な方で雰囲気良く楽しませてもらえました。
飛ぶ前後に着替える時間などはないので、船に乗ってそのまま飛べる格好で向かうといいと思います。
150mで参加しましたが、飛んでいる時間は長過ぎず短過ぎず、ちょうど良かったです。
スマホを防水ケースに入れて、飛んでいる間もたくさん写真や動画を取れて、とてもいい思い出になりました！
ありがとうございました！

It was my first time going to Hawaii with my parents. My mother tried parasailing for the first time. At first, she said it was scary, but as she got used to it, she started talking about how beautiful the scenery was and seemed to enjoy it. Thank you!

両親と初めて一緒に行ったハワイ。母は初めてのパラセーリング でしたが、初め怖いと言っていましたが、慣れてくると景色が綺麗ねと話したり余裕も出てきて楽しんでいました。ありがとうございました！

I was quite anxious about surfing for the first time, but I was able to enjoy it.

The staff communicated clearly by mixing English and Japanese.

There was also an American staff member who had lived in Japan, and he shared interesting stories from that time!

There were staff members who spoke Korean as well, which gave the impression that people of all nationalities could enjoy themselves!

I got seasick from the waves, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication for those who are anxious.

初めてのサーフィンで不安が大きかったですが、楽しむことができました。
英語と日本語を混ぜながら、分かりやすく伝えていただきました。

日本に住んでいたこともあるアメリカ人スタッフもおり、面白く当時の話をしてくれました！

韓国語を話せるスタッフもいて、あらゆる国籍の方にも楽しんでいただける印象でした！

波で酔ってしまいましたので、不安な方は酔い止めをお勧めします。

It was amazing to watch the sunset, drink a Mai Tai, feel the sea breeze, and see the night views of Diamond Head and Waikiki.

夕日を眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら、潮風をうけながら、ダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの夜景を見るのが、最高でした。

I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I have a fear of heights, but since my husband wanted to ride, I thought I would try it for the memories and made a reservation! I chose the maximum height of 150 meters. At first, I completely forgot about the height because it was so beautiful, but suddenly I thought, "Wow, this is high! This is scary!" (laughs) I was filming the whole time with my GoPro, so it became a great memory. I also requested the additional photo for $30, which turned out to be a nice keepsake. I recommend getting photos taken from below; it makes for great memories. Next time I go, I think I'll book around 90 meters. (laughs)

ハネムーンでハワイにいきました。
わたしは、高所恐怖症だったんですが、夫が乗りたいと言っていたので記念に乗ってみようと思い予約させていただきました！
高さは最高の150Mを選びました。でも最初は全然綺麗で高さを忘れていましたが途中から急に、たかっ！こわっ！ってなりました。笑ずっとゴープロでムービー撮ってたのでいい思い出です。
追加料金の写真も30ドルでお願いしましたがいい思い出になりました。下から撮ってもらうのおすすめです。いい思い出になります。次行った時は、90Mくらいで予約しようと思います。笑
