All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

During our honeymoon, we participated in some activities. Suddenly, we had a hula dance experience with several other honeymoon couples. I thought we would just be watching a show, but it turned out to be a fun experience.

ハネムーンの際にアクティビティに参加しました。突然ハネムーンカップル数組でフラダンス体験。ショーを見るだけかと思いましたが楽しい体験ができました。

We participated with two adults and a two-year-old child. The course meal was delicious and the portion size was just right. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, making it a very comfortable experience. The show was also wonderful, beautifully blending hula dancing with performances from major artists, and we were thoroughly entertained. The fire dance was spectacular, and even the child was watching intently. It was a fantastic Hawaiian night that flew by without a dull moment. After the show, we could take photos with the stars, which made my mother, a big Elvis fan, very happy. I think people of all ages can enjoy this. I definitely want to participate again when I visit Hawaii. Highly recommended!

大人2人と2才の子どもと参加しました。
コースのお料理は美味しく量もちょうど良かったです。
スタッフの方も皆さん笑顔で親切でとても居心地が良かったです。
またショーの内容も素晴らしく、見事にフラダンスと大物アーティストたちが融合していて、とても楽しませて頂きました。
ファイヤーダンスは圧巻で子どもも真剣に見ていました。
終始退屈することなくあっという間でとても良いハワイの夜になりました。
ショーの後にスター達と写真も撮れるのでプレスリー好きの母も大喜びでした。
子どもから大人まで世代を問わず楽しめると思います。
ハワイを訪れた際にはまた是非参加したいと思いました。
オススメです。

I thought it would be a leisurely boat ride, but it turned out to be a dynamic sailing experience, pushing forward against high waves. My sons in their twenties also enjoyed it. I was watching the direction of the boat and the waves, and I had a great time without getting seasick. (It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication just in case.) However, on the way back, it got cloudy, and even though I was wearing a light hoodie, it was very cold.

遊覧船感覚かと思いきや、高い波に向かってグイグイ進むダイナミックなセーリングでした。20代の息子たちも楽しんでいました。私も進行方向と波を見ていたら　船酔いすることなく、楽しかったです。（一応、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が良いかも）ただ帰りが日が陰って来たので、薄手のパーカーを着ていましたが、とても寒かったです。

I participated with a standard seat. I wasn't expecting much since the luau show I attended at the Hilton on the Big Island was underwhelming, but it turned out to be better than I imagined. The buffet was delicious, and I was satisfied.

The wait time can be long, but arriving early will get you seated closer to the stage. There is a photo opportunity between the opening and being seated, and the long wait time here is a downside.

スタンダードシートで参加しました。
ハワイ島のヒルトンで参加したルアウショーがイマイチだったので、過度な期待はしていませんでしたが、想像以上に良かったです。
ビュッフェも美味しくて満足できました。

待ち時間は長くなってしまいますが、早めに行く方がステージに近い席に案内されます。
開場してから席につくまでの間に写真撮影があって、ここでも待ち時間が長いのがマイナスポイントです。

I have been coming to Hawaii with my family every year for over 10 times, but this was my first time participating. My mother was worried about seasickness, but she was completely fine. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful scenery, the pleasant atmosphere on the boat, and delicious drinks. I was able to talk with both Japanese and foreign guests, and the staff were very friendly. I'm really glad I participated! My whole family was very satisfied. I definitely want to join again!

ハワイは毎年家族と来ていて10回以上になりますが、初めて参加しました。母は船酔いを心配してましたが、全然大丈夫でした。素敵な景色と船の良い雰囲気と美味しいお酒ですごく楽しめました。日本人の方も外国の方とも話をしたり、スタッフの方も感じがよく、参加して本当によかったです！家族みんな大満足です。またぜひ参加したいです！

This was my fourth cruise, following last year. Once we got a little offshore, we stopped the engine and immediately raised the sails, which was so much fun! After all, sailing on a yacht is all about using the wind! Captain Ian was also very enthusiastic and had great conversations. Plus, the free drinks were a nice touch. Every time I come here, I want to go sailing again!

昨年に引き続き４回目のクルーズ⛵️
少し沖にでたらエンジン止めてすぐにセールを上げての帆走、楽しかったです！やはりヨットは風で帆走しないとね❗️キャプテンのイアンもノリノリで楽しいトークでした〜
そしてフリードリンクも嬉しいですね
ここにきたら毎回乗りたくなりますね❗️

On the last day in Hawaii, I participated in an event. In the morning, it was a bit chilly, and I was a little worried, but by the time the event started, the temperature was just right, and the sunset was beautiful. There was a lively foreign woman who participated with me, and it was a lot of fun. The captain was also kind and enjoyable. The view of Diamond Head and the hotel lights from the boat was very beautiful.

If possible, I would like to request that the reception location be made clearer, as it was difficult to find, and I couldn't understand the explanation in English. I think it would be helpful to have more detailed landmarks for the reception area. Also, I wouldn't mind if the explanation was in English, but it would be nice to receive a Japanese explanation sheet when checking in.

ハワイの最終日に参加しました。朝は肌寒く少し心配していましたが、参加する頃には丁度良い気温でサンセットも綺麗でした。一緒に参加した方にノリの良い外国人の女性がいらして、とても楽しかったです。船長さんも優しく楽しい方でした。船上から見るダイヤモンドヘッド・ホテルの灯りはとても綺麗でした。
出来ればのお願いですが、受付の場所が分かりづらい、説明も英語で分からないので、受付の場所はもう少し詳しく目印があればと思いました。
また説明は英語でも構わないので、日本語で書いた説明用紙を受付時に頂けると良いなぁ〜と思いました。

I was nervous and excited for my first parasailing experience, but once it started, I was truly overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery of Hawaii! The weather was great, and there was a rainbow, it was the best!! I want to go parasailing again when I visit Hawaii!!! It was really amazing!!!

初めてのパラセーリングで不安と期待でドキドキしていましたが、いざ始まると、本当に綺麗なハワイの景色に圧倒されてしまいました！
お天気も良く、虹も出ていて、最高でした！！
またハワイに行ったらパラセーリングしたいです！！！
本当に最高でした！！！

We visited Hawaii for a wedding and went out to eat with both families. It was a course dinner.

You can enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere, and I think the portion sizes are just right for Japanese people. I thought the show would be the main attraction and the food would be secondary, but it was surprisingly delicious. However, the waitstaff seemed quite busy, so I didn't feel much of a sense of luxury.

First, we were taken to a waiting area where we could freely enjoy drinks and snacks. Once the venue was ready, we were guided to our tables, and drinks at the table operate on a ticket system (two drinks are included in the course). Just because you enter the venue early doesn't guarantee a good seat, so if you want to drink a lot, it might be a good idea to stay in the waiting area until the last minute.

We had time to relax and enjoy our meal while chatting before the show started, and my companions also had a great time.

結婚式でハワイを訪れたので、両家で食事しに行きました。
コースディナーです。

ハワイらしさを楽しめるし、お料理も日本人にちょうど良い量だと思います。
ショーがメインで食事はついでかなと思っていましたが、意外と美味しかったです。
ただウェイトレスさん達が忙しそうなので高級感みたいなものはあまり感じられないですね…

最初に待合室のような所に通され、そこはドリンクやおつまみを好きに食べられます。
そして会場の用意が出来ると順にテーブルに案内され、テーブルでのドリンクはチケット制（2杯分はコースに込み）になります。
早く会場に入ったら良い席に座れるという訳ではないので、たくさん飲みたい方はギリギリまでテーブルに行かないで飲んでるといいかもしれないです。

ショーが始まるまでに落ち着いて会話しながら食事する時間も持て、同行者からも評判が良く楽しめました。

Beautiful 2 hour cruise. Last minute decision to go. Booking was easy and reasonably priced. Crew was super nice. Picked a perfect evening. The view of Diamond Head and Waikiki was Awesome!! The Mai Tai was delicious!!! Definitely recommend!!!! A+++++

I participated in this plan during my first trip to Hawaii. I was curious about what a show themed around Hawaii and rock music would be like, and since it included dinner, I thought it would be a perfect way to spend an evening in Hawaii. I joined from a VIP seat close to the stage, which allowed me to see the show up close. The performers, who were in special makeup representing stars connected to Hawaii, delivered a highly impressive performance that I really enjoyed. The course meal was ample for an average person, and after enjoying the food and drinks, we watched a show that lasted about 1 hour and 15 minutes, which flew by. If you're going to Hawaii, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once.

初めてのハワイ旅行でこちらのプランに参加しました。ハワイ＋ロックというテーマのショーがどのようなものか気になって一度見たいと思い、そしてディナーもセットなのでハワイ旅行の一夜を過ごすには十分だと思いました。ステージ近くのVIP席で参加したのでショーを間近で見られ、またハワイにゆかりのあるスターの特殊メイクをした演者のパフォーマンスはなかなかに完成度も高く、楽しめました。料理のコースも一般的な方なら十分な量で、料理とお酒を楽しんだあとに１時間15分程度のショーを見ましたがあっという間に時間が過ぎました。ハワイにいくなら一度は体験してみてはいかがでしょうか。

It was my first time participating in a tour, and I really enjoyed it! Since it was a special trip for our honeymoon, I felt it was the right decision to sign up! I would love to join again next time!

初めて参加したツアーでしたが本当に楽しかったです！ハネムーンといううこともあり特別な旅行だったので申し込みをして正解だと思いました！次行くときも参加してみたいです！

It was a windy day, and there were moments when I felt a sense of fear as I was lifted up, but contrary to what I expected, I hardly felt any wind at altitude. I enjoyed the flight while watching the sea shining in the sunset. It was quite high, so of course, there was a sense of fear, but it was safe and enjoyable. I requested some photos, and I particularly liked the one where the captain posed with a shark trying to bite the rope. In the end, you just dip your backside into the water, but they quickly increase the boat's speed and pull you back up. It’s a great conversation starter and an attraction I highly recommend.

風のある日で、途中吹き上げられたりした時は恐怖感もありましたが、思っていたのと違い、上空では殆ど風も感じず、夕日で光る海を見ながらのフライトで楽しめました。結構高いので、恐怖感は勿論ありますが、安全で楽しめます。写真をお願いしましたが、ロープにサメが噛みつこうとしているもの（キャプテンが手にサメをはめて撮ってくれました。）が気に入ってます。最後は、お尻だけ水にドボンしますが、直ぐにボートのスピードを上げ、引き上げてくれます。
話題にもなり、オススメのアトラクションです。

When I first signed up, it was labeled as VIP, so I couldn't imagine the scale of it, but the VIP treatment far exceeded my expectations. Before the show started, we had dinner indoors (while those who weren't VIP had to eat outside). The menu was available in Japanese, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese well, which made me feel very comfortable. I have allergies, so I informed the staff about them at the beginning. Not only did they remove the allergenic items, but they also provided alternatives, and I was really happy with their thorough response.

Dinner lasted about an hour and a half, and after that, the show began. There were various performances, including hula dancing, Michael Jackson songs, and Disney tunes, and everyone in the venue was able to enjoy it together. After the show ended, there was also an opportunity for photos with the cast, so I was able to enjoy it until the very end! I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii.

最初申し込んだ時はVIPと書いてあったのでどのぐらいの規模のものか想像できませんでしたが、自分の想像をはるかに超えるVIP待遇でした。ショーが始まる前に室内でご飯を食べました（VIP以外は外）。メニュー表も日本語対応、スタッフも日本語が上手な方がいらっしゃいましたのでとっても安心しました。私は、アレルギーを持っていましたので、最初にスタッフにそれは除くように言っていました。アレルギーのものを除かれるだけではなく、他のものと変えて提供してくださり対応がしっかりしていて本当に嬉しかったです。
ご飯の時間が約１時間半ぐらいあり、終わった後にショーが開園します。フラダンスやマイケルジャクソン、ディズニーの曲様々なショーがあり、会場一体で楽しむことができました。ショー閉園後は、キャストの方との写真撮影もありましたので最後まで楽しむことができました！！またハワイに行った時は参加したいと思います。

I participated alone! There was another person who joined solo, so I didn't have any particular issues. It was my first time surfing, but they taught me carefully from the basics, which was great. I was really happy when I managed to ride the waves well. I think anyone who wants to try something new should definitely give it a go!

1人で参加しました！他にも1人参加の方がいましたし特に困ることはありませんでした。初めてのサーフィンでしたが、初心者向けで1から丁寧に教えて頂けました。上手く乗れたときは本当に嬉しかったです。新しいことに挑戦したい方はぜひ参加してみるといいと思います！

While cruising towards Diamond Head, we were able to enjoy beautiful scenery, and we were thrilled to see a sea turtle up close. Our group didn’t catch any fish, but they prepared and grilled the fish caught by others right there, and it was very delicious!

The only downside was that even though we arrived before the meeting time, we had to wait over 30 minutes before departing, which felt like a waste of precious morning time. I wonder if this laid-back attitude is just a characteristic of the country...

I would love to use this service again if the opportunity arises.

クルージングではダイヤモンドヘッドに向かいながらキレイな景色を堪能できて途中ウミガメ出現で近くまで寄せてもらいとても楽しめました。私達グループは釣れなかったけど他の方の釣れた魚をその場で捌いてくれてグリルして皆で食べさせて頂き、とても美味しかったです〜
残念だったのは集合時間前に行ってたのに30分以上も待たされてからの出航だったので朝の貴重な時間が勿体なかったです。アバウトなのは国独特の性質なのかな…
またの機会があれば利用したいです。

The boat sways a bit vertically, which can make you feel seasick, but the view from above is amazing. I will never forget it. The guide was also very kind, and I felt good enough to give a generous tip.

船は少し縦揺れが凄いので酔いますが、空からの長めは最高。
一生忘れません。
ガイドさんも親切で、チップ多めに渡すくらい気持ちよかったです。

I participated in an activity during my trip to Hawaii in September. Since it was a special occasion, I chose the 150-meter height. The weather was great, so the view was amazing.

Before we started, the guide took a photo of me flying with a professional camera, and there was a service that allowed us to purchase the data. Since it was a special occasion, I decided to buy it! For about $20, I got a lot of great photos, so it was definitely worth it.

I would love to participate again when I go back to Hawaii!

9月に旅行でハワイに行った際のアクティビティで参加しました。せっかくなので150mの高さを選びました。天気も良かったので最高の景色でした。
始まる前にガイドさんの一眼で飛んでいるところの写真を撮ってもらい、それをデータで買うことができるサービスの案内がありました。せっかくなので購入しました！20ドル程度でたくさん撮ってもらえたので非常に良かったです^_^

またハワイに行った際には参加したいです！

My two sons wanted to try surfing, so we signed them up for a lesson since it was their first experience. They received instruction in Japanese. It seemed quite difficult, but by the second day, they were able to ride the waves a little. According to them, it was a lot of fun!

息子2人がサーフィンしたいと言うので、初体験だったのでレッスンの体験を申し込み、日本語でレクチャーしてもらったそうです。
かなり難しかったみたいですが、2日目には波に少し乗れたそうです。
2人曰く、楽しかったそうです！

About a year ago, I participated, and this year we're going to Hawaii with the same members. Everyone agreed to sign up again this year! Here’s my experience, albeit a bit late.

We were blessed with great weather and were able to see a wonderful sunset. While enjoying delicious Mai Tais on the cruise and counting down to the moment the sun disappeared over the horizon, we had a fantastic time.

Looking forward to this year as well! ♪

約１年前に参加、同じメンバーで今年もハワイに行きますが、メンバー全員今年も申込もうね！となり、今更ながらの体験談です。
天候にも恵まれ素晴らしいサンセットを見ることができました。
だんだんと沈む太陽をみながら、おいしいマイタイをいただきクルーズ、
そして水平線に消えていく瞬間までのカウントダウンと、素晴しいひと時を過ごしました。
今年もよろしくお願いします♪

Parasailing was amazing! The captain and crew were very enthusiastic, and even though my fellow passengers were strangers, they chatted with me before and after parasailing. I was filled with anxiety, but it was so much fun.
(Note) Japanese is not well understood.

However, I waited for 45 minutes past the scheduled pickup time, so I would have appreciated an email or some form of communication if there was going to be a delay. I was left wondering whether they would come or not, and it felt like I was just waiting around...

パラセーリング、最高でした！
船長さんたちも盛り上げてくれ、同乗者は知らない人たちでしたがパラセーリングする前後に声かけてくれ、不安いっぱいでしたがとても楽しかったです。
(注)日本語はほぼ通じないです

但し、迎え予定時間から45分も待ったので遅れる場合はメールなどで連絡が欲しかったです。
来るのか来ないのか分からず、待ちぼうけになってしまったので…

For the English lesson, there were some details I didn't fully understand, but the instructors provided solid support, so I was able to enjoy surfing!

I was also happy that they took photos of me while surfing.

It was my first time surfing in the ocean, but I was able to stand up and had a great time!

英語でのレッスンのため、細かい事分からない部分もありましたが、インストラクターの方々がしっかりサポートしてくださるので、楽しくサーフィンできました！

サーフィンをしている姿を写真に撮ってくれるのも、嬉しいです。

海でサーフィンは初めてでしたが、立つ事ができ、楽しめました！

The weather was somewhat cloudy, but on the boat, we were the only two Japanese people. Thanks to the cheerful and handsome captain and the lively bartender, we had the best sailing experience. While enjoying the beautiful night view of Miami and listening to pop music, we tacked off Diamond Head and headed towards Ala Moana. By the time we were done, everyone had become friends, and it turned into an amazing sailing experience. I think this is an event that everyone should experience at least once when visiting Hawaii.

天候はやや曇りがちでしたが、船上は日本人は我々二人だけでしたが陽気でハンサムな船長とノリノリのバーテンダーにより最高のセーリングが楽しめました。綺麗なマイアミの夜景を見ながらPOPな音楽を聴きながらダイヤモンドヘッド沖でタックしてアラナモア方面を回るころには全員が仲良くなって大盛り上がりで最高のセーリングになりました。HAWAIIに来たなら一度は経験すべきイベントだと思います。

We participated as a group of five. Since we were the last ones, we got completely soaked, to the point where we were dropped into the water (laughs). The previous groups barely got wet, or only their feet went into the water.

5組での参加でした。私たちは一番最後だったので、頭までずぶ濡れになるほど、水の中に落としてもらえました（笑）それまでの組みは全然濡れなかったり、足だけが水の中に入ったり。

We take a boat out to the submarine. We glide past canoes and surfers, enjoying views of Honolulu's beaches and cityscape, as well as Diamond Head from the sea before boarding. We also enjoyed a short cruise. At the bottom of the ocean, there are not only fish but also sea turtles and eels...

潜水艦に乗る沖合まで船で行きます。
カヌーや波乗りの横をすり抜け、ホノルルのビーチと街並み、ダイヤモンドヘッドを海側から眺めてから乗船です。短い時間のクルーズも楽しめました。
海の底には、魚のほかにもウミガメやウツボも、、、

This was my first surfing experience in Hawaii, even though I've been there several times! The group lessons with Hands Heideman Hawaii Local Surfing Lessons were so much fun, as the instructors helped us a lot and made it easy to ride the waves. I want to make this a routine every time I come to Hawaii from now on!＼(^^)／ I think it would be difficult to enjoy surfing like that without the instructors. Everything, including the timing, was just perfect, and I am truly satisfied. I can't find any complaints. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy the Hawaiian sea even more than usual!! ✩.*˚ Thank you so much! ((﹡ˆ︶ˆ﹡))

ハワイは何度と行かせてもらっていながら、はじめてのハワイサーフィン体験でした！
ハンズ・ヒーデマン ハワイローカルサーフィンレッスンさんのグループレッスンは、インストラクターのみなさんがたくさん助けてくれて、並に乗らせてくれるので、
とっても楽しくて、これからは毎回、ハワイにきたときのルーティンにしたいです！＼(^^)／
インストラクターのみなさんがいなければ、あんな風にサーフィンを楽しめることは難しいと思います。時間もすべてが、ちょうどよくて、ほんとに大満足です。不満がみつかりません。おかげで、いつもよりもハワイの海を満喫することも出来ました！！✩.*˚ ありがとうございました((﹡ˆ︶ˆ﹡))

Seeing the turtles was so fun and the guys that helped us get all set were amazing. They filled our drinks after and made she we were well taken care of.

It was my first time, and I was nervous, but I had the best time enjoying the wonderful scenery and the ocean while on the boat. I definitely want to try parasailing again. When I come to Hawaii next time, I will absolutely do it again.

初めてで、ドキドキしましたが、ボートに乗ってる時も素敵な景色と海を満喫出来て最高でした。
パラセイリングも、是非、又やりたいと思いました。
次回ハワイに来たときには、絶対又やります。

I thought dinner was included, but it turned out to be just a show without dinner, so I couldn't eat. The reservation site is confusing. I wanted to immerse myself in a Hawaiian mood and see the fire dance, so I made a reservation, but it was just a brief appearance at the very end. The performances by Elvis and Michael were long, and I was starting to think I might not get to see the fire dance at all. The dance was erotic and wonderful, but it was too stimulating for families with children.

Anyway, I'm really disappointed. I would have rather spent my money on something else.

夕飯付きだと思ったら夕飯なしのショーだけのタイプで食べられませんでした。予約サイトがわかりにくいです。ハワイアンな気分に浸りたくてファイヤーダンスをみたいと思い予約しましたが、最後の最後で一瞬の登場。それまでのエルビスやマイケルが長くて、もしかしたらファイヤーダンスは見れないのかと思っていたくらい。ダンスもエロティックで、素晴らしいけど子連れには刺激が強過ぎた。
とにかくがっかり。これなら別のことにお金払った。

My husband, our 5-year-old child, and I signed up for the 120m parasailing. I thought our child might be scared since it was their first time, but they are good with roller coasters and enjoyed it without any fear, saying they want to do it again! The boat does sway quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick.

夫、私、5歳の子の3人で120mを申込みました。子どもはパラセーリングが初めてだったので、怖がるかと思いましたが、ジェットコースター等は得意な方なので、全く怖がらずにまた乗りたい！と楽しんでくれました。
船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は厳しいかもしれません。
