All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Had a great time! Would definitely recommend! Perfect view of the fireworks and the staff was full of energy

That day was clear from the morning, perfect for parasailing, and I was itching to go as soon as I woke up.

On the boat that towed the parachute, there were 11 participants, including us, but for some reason, my husband and I were chosen first. Maybe our excitement was showing on our faces.

Once we boarded the parachute and it was released, we soared into the sky in an instant! The speed was incredible, and it took me by surprise for a moment, but I hardly felt scared.

As we reached a certain height, it became so stable that it felt like sitting in a chair, and from there, it was a graceful aerial stroll.

The panoramic view of Diamond Head and the hotels of Waikiki far below was truly breathtaking.

Although parasailing is considered a marine sport, in reality, you just sit there, so I think it can be enjoyed easily by children and the elderly alike. It's not as scary as you might think!

This is definitely an activity that I want many people to experience when they come to Hawaii!

その日は朝から快晴で絶好のパラセイリング日和で、起きたときから早くパラセイリングをしたくてウズウズしてました。

その日のパラシュートをけん引するボートには、私たちを含む11名の参加者がいたのですが、なぜか私たち夫婦が1番手に指名。
よほどウズウズが顔に出ていたのかもしれませんね。

さて私たちが乗り込んだパラシュートが解き放たれると、あっという間に大空に向けてブワーっと浮上！
ものすごい勢いなので一瞬ドキッとはしましたが、ほとんど怖さは感じませんでした。

そしてある程度の高さまで行くとまるでイスに座っているかのように安定するので、そこからはもう優雅な空中散歩です。

ダイヤモンドヘッドもワイキキのホテル群も遠く眼下に見える大パノラマは、もう圧巻の一言でした。

パラセイリングはマリンスポーツとは言っても、実際はただ座っているだけなので、お子さんでもご年配の方でも気軽に楽しめると思います。
思っているより怖くないです！

ハワイに来たら多くの方に絶対に体験してほしいアクティビティです！

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we looked for something Hawaiian and a tour to celebrate a birthday, and we chose this show. The location was easy to find, right inside the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, so we arrived without getting lost. While waiting to enter the waiting room, we were entertained with hula and singing. When it was time, we chose a complimentary Mai Tai (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic) and enjoyed some snacks. There were posters and memorabilia of stars on display, and the excitement started building from there (laughs).

Before the show, we had a course meal. Our seats were right in the center, in the front row. I was worried it might be too close, but I was really lucky to see an amazing show. The lobster was half a body, but it was enough. While I was struggling with the shell, a staff member cheerfully helped me by cracking it open with gloves on. The steak was tender and delicious, and the portion was just right, leaving me satisfied. The girl serving us was adorable, and when she brought out the birthday cake, she said "happy birthday" (^ ^) and celebrated with us, cutting and distributing the cake. With four people, we could only eat about half of it, and the taste was... okay. I thought it would have been nice to have a box to take it home in with a candle.

The show was diverse. The singing and dancing were so wonderful that I was captivated. Being in the front row, they occasionally reached out with their eyes or arms, which made me happy and raised my excitement. Of course, the performances of Michael and Elvis Presley were top-notch. They even came down to the audience. The hula and fire dance allowed us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian spirit.

The audience ranged from children to adults, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Even from the second floor, you could see the whole show, and it looked surprisingly enjoyable from there too. After the greeting session, it turned out to be quite a long time, but I was so satisfied that I just went back to the hotel for a good night's sleep. Next time, I’d like to try the backstage tour too! ^_^

ハワイに着いた当日。ハワイらしい事と、バースデー記念になるツアーを探して
こちらのショーを選びました。
場所も初日でも、わかりやすいロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンター内。迷わず到着。
ウェイティングルームに入る前に並んでいると、フラと歌で飽きさせません。時間になるとワンドリンクのマイタイを（ノンアルコールとアルコール）も選び、おつまみを頂きます。スター達のポスターや小物が飾ってあり写真撮影も、ここから盛り上がってきます（笑）
ショーの前にコース料理を頂きます。席はど真ん中の一番前。前過ぎて見ていられるか心配でしたが。最高なショーを見る事が出来て、本当にラッキーでした。
料理は、オマール海老は半身でしたが十分。ハサミで格闘しているとスタッフさんが、手袋してにこやかに割ってくれます^_^
ステーキも柔らかく美味しかった。量もちょうど良く満足。運んでくれる女の子も可愛らしくて、バースデーケーキを持ってきてくれた時も、happy birthday (^ ^)一緒にお祝いし、切って配ってくれました。４人だと半分くらいしか食べれません味は。。まぁまぁ。持ち帰りの箱をもらいました。ローソクが付いてきたら良かったなと思います。
ショーは、いろいろ。歌とダンスは素晴らしく見入ってしまいます。最前列だったので、ちょいちょいと、視線や腕を差し伸べたりしてくれ、そのパフォーマンスに嬉しく、テンション上がります。もちろん、マイケルや、エルビスプレスリーも歌と踊りは最高。客席にまで降りてきてくれます。フラや、ファイヤーダンスで、ハワイらしさも十分堪能できました。
客層も、子供から大人まで。みんな楽しそうでした。二階席でも全体が見渡せ、案外近くて楽しめそうです。
この後のグリーティングを合わせると、結構いいお時間になりますが、満足すぎてそのままホテルで、睡眠で十分です。
次は、バックステージツアーも体験してみたいな^_^

It was truly a walk in the sky! Floating in the air while gazing at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was a calm and very elegant experience! Since I was with a group of foreigners, the driver and the boat instructor spoke only English, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, which made it very enjoyable. It's not an intense activity, so I think families with small children can enjoy it with peace of mind!

まさに空中散歩！
ワイキキビーチやダイアモンドヘッドを眺めながらの空中浮遊は穏やかで、とても優雅な時間を過ごすことが出来ました！外国人グループと一緒だったので、送迎のドライバーさんや、ボートのインストラクターなど、それぞれ英語だけでしたが、時おり日本語も交えて話してくださり、とても楽しかったです。
激しいアクティビティではないので、小さなお子さま連れでも安心して楽しめると思います！

After signing up, there were some notes such as needing a windbreaker due to strong winds and that you would get wet up to your knees from getting on from the beach, but I thought it was okay not to worry too much about it. Indeed, the wind was strong, but it was fun and I didn't feel cold. There were only two other groups besides us Japanese.

The atmosphere might change depending on the composition of the members that day, but I thought it would be a very enjoyable event as an experience in Hawaii. I would definitely like to participate again.

申し込み後、風が強いのでウインドブレーカーが必要、ビーチから乗るので、膝くらいまで濡れる、等の注意事項がありましたが、それほど気にしないで大丈夫だと、思いました。確かに、風はすごいのですが、楽しくて寒さは感じなかったです。日本人ほ私達以外２組だけでした。
その日のメンバー構成で、感じは変わりそうですが、ハワイでの体験として、かなり楽しいイベントになると思いました。
また、ぜひ参加します。

We chose a VIP seat with meals for our honeymoon! When we arrived at the venue, we enjoyed welcome drinks and snacks, which was a lot of fun! The meal included a large lobster, meat dishes, fish dishes, bread, and dessert, leaving us completely satisfied! I didn't know how to eat the lobster, but the staff kindly taught me!

Once the show started, there were so many captivating moments, especially Michael and the fire show, which were impressive! At the end, we even got to take photos, making it the best trip to Hawaii ever!!

新婚旅行ということで、食事付きのVIP席にしました！会場に着いたらウェルカムドリンクを飲みながらおつまみも頂けて楽しめました！食事は大きなロブスター、お肉料理にお魚料理、パンとデザートがあり、お腹いっぱいで満足です！ロブスターは食べ方が分からなかったのですが、スタッフの方が親切に教えてくれました！笑笑
ショーが始まったら目の離せない場面ばかりで、特にマイケルとファイヤーショーが印象的です！ラストは写真まで撮って頂き、最高のハワイ旅行になりました！！

Departed right on time for a 45 minute sail all before moving into a great position to view the fireworks. Hosts were pleasant and it was a very nice evening. Tip - wear shorts or a short dress - you may be knee deep in water getting onto and off the catamaran!

Since it was close to the hotel, I was able to enjoy my free time in the afternoon. Surprisingly, I managed to ride without flipping over! It felt great, and the instructor was kind too!

ホテルから近かったので午後からの空き時間に楽しむことができました。
意外にひっくり返ることなくなんとか乗れました！
気持ちよかったです、先生も優しかったです！

Sailing while drinking a Mai Tai. The night view of Waikiki and the sunset orange were exceptionally beautiful. My heart felt relaxed. I thought to myself that I was glad to be alive.

マイタイを飲みながらセーリング。
ワイキキの夜景やサンセットオレンジが格別にきれいでした。こころが、ほぐれていきました。生きてて良かったと思いました。

Before the show, we had a meal at the buffet. There was pork, beef, chicken, and white fish. I thought it was quite tasty.
The show was enjoyable with impersonators and fire dancing. It was really great that it ended with the Hawaii Five-O theme song!

ショーを観る前にブッフェ での食事をしました。豚も牛もチキンも白身魚もありました。普通に美味しいと思います。
ショーは、そっくりさんが出てきたり、ファイアーダンスがあったりと楽しめました。最後、ハワイファイブオーの曲で終演したのがとてもよかったです！

I was nervous during my first parasailing experience, but the view was beautiful and it was amazing! Although the language is English, the staff could speak a little Japanese, so there were no issues!

初めてのパラセーリングで緊張しましたが、景色も綺麗で最高でした！
言語が英語とありますが、スタッフの方たちは少し日本語が話せるので問題ありませんでした！

I splurged on VIP seats for Michael, which I was really looking forward to! First, we enjoyed the meal, and then the opening! I was focused on the front, so I was surprised! We had a fantastic time with Presley, a local singer, and of course, Michael, along with hula and fire dancing.

The portion sizes were just right, and the staff was efficient. I think the show is well-adjusted for various age groups, so it would be great for families to experience together. After the show, they are friendly and willing to take photos with you.

マイケルを楽しみに奮発してVIP席を取りました！
まず、食事を堪能してから、オープニング！前方を注視していたので、ビックリしました！プレスリーと地元の歌手の方、楽しみにしていたマイケル、フラ、ファイアーダンスとてんこ盛りで楽しめました。
食事の量も丁度よく、スタッフもテキパキ。ショーの内容は、いろんな年代に広くアジャストするものだと思うので、ファミリーで体験するのも良いのではないかと思います。ショーの後も、気さくに写真撮影に応じてくれます。

My son saw it on TV and said he wanted to try parasailing! There are various operators in Hawaii, but we decided on one that had no unnecessary options, reasonable prices, and a short duration, which were appealing to us. We booked a 150m session starting at 9 AM. We had a simple breakfast in our hotel room (spam onigiri and drinks), used the restroom, and waited for the pickup in the hotel lobby. Based on reviews mentioning seasickness on the boat, both my son and I took motion sickness medication on the bus. My son has never experienced motion sickness, but just in case. After giving birth, I have become a bit prone to nausea on rides like roller coasters.

The boat departs from the marina near the Prince, past the Hilton. There were five groups together. Once the boat went offshore, the parasailing opened up with a whoosh! The rainbow-colored parachute stood out beautifully against the sky, and it was so cute. Our excitement skyrocketed. After putting on life jackets and equipment, we took off in order. We were the second group. We quickly ascended to 150m, and the view was unlike anything we had ever seen! We could see the mountains of Hawaii, the outline of the island, and our parachute's shadow on the ocean, which felt absolutely wonderful. Initially, I was worried about the fear of heights, but it was so high (laughs) that I wasn't scared at all. Up there, it was stable with no swaying or wind. Both my son and I kept exclaiming how great it felt! The scenery was amazing! After about 10 minutes, the descent began, but I wasn't scared at all during this time either. The moment we landed, my son kept saying he wanted to do it again! He was laughed at by the others who were with us. The total time, including the round trip, was about an hour and a half. It was on time as stated on the website, and we were able to use the rest of the morning meaningfully after returning to the hotel. The crew was attentive, making sure everyone didn’t get seasick with high-fives, encouragement, pranks, and jokes. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely repeat this. For families with children, I recommend the early morning sessions when they aren't too tired.

Lastly, a realistic note. One person in our group was nervous from the start, worried about getting seasick, and actually ended up vomiting on the boat. They mentioned they had taken motion sickness medication as well. Since there are many other fun things to do in Hawaii, I don't think those who are prone to motion sickness in their daily lives should force themselves to do this. Since it's a trip, you don't have to be fixated on parasailing. However, if you have experience getting nauseous on extraordinary rides like roller coasters, you don't need to be too nervous. You get to see the best views, and it's a unique experience of traveling, so it's better to relax and just enjoy it!

　息子がテレビで見て、パラセーリングをやってみたい！と言い出しました。ハワイでは色々な業者さんがいますが、不要なオプションがなくて値段が手頃、所用時間が短い、この2点が私たちには魅力的だったので決定。9時から、150mを申し込みました。当日の朝食はホテルの部屋で簡単に済ませ(スパムおにぎりと飲み物)、トイレも済ませ、ホテルのロビーでピックアップを待ちました。口コミで、ボートで酔うと書いあったのを参考に、酔い止めはバスの中で、息子も私も飲みました。息子は乗り物で酔った経験なしですが、念のため。私は出産後、ジェットコースターなどでは少し酔うようになったので。
　ボートは、ヒルトンの先、プリンス近くのマリーナから出ます。5組が一緒。ボートが沖合に出ると、パラセーリングがバサっ！と、開かれます。レインボーカラーのパラシュートが空に映え、すごく可愛い。テンションがいっきに上がります。ライフジャケットと器具をつけたら、順に、すぐに飛びます。私たちは2組目。150m まであっという間に上がり、見たことのない景色が！　ハワイの山々が見えて、島のラインが分かり、海に私たちのパラシュートの影がうつり、とてもとても気持ちがいいです。当初、高さへの恐怖を心配しましたが、高すぎて（笑）、まったく怖くなかったです。上空はゆれもなく、風もなく、安定してました。私も息子も、気持ちいいー！を連発。景色が最高でした！　10分ぐらい経つと下降が始まりますが、この間もまったく怖くなかったです。降りた瞬間、息子は、またやりたい！すぐやりたい！と言いまくり。一緒に乗っていた方に爆笑されてました。所用時間、往復もふくめ、総所要時間は1時間半程度。HPに書いてあったとおりのオンタイムで、ホテルに戻ってからも午前中の残りを有意義に使えました。乗組員のスタッフの方も、みんなが酔わないように、ハイタッチや声がけ、いたずらやジョークなど、ずっと、気にして声をかけてくださいます。息子も私も大満喫。私たちは必ずまたリピートします。お子さん連れは、疲れが溜まってない、朝早い回をオススメします。
　最後に現実的な話。一緒のグループにいらした方は、最初から、酔いやすいから心配……とナーバスで、実際にボートで酔って吐いていました。酔い止めも飲んでいたとのこと。他に楽しいことが沢山あるハワイなので、バスや電車など、日頃の生活でも酔いやすい方は無理してやることはないと思います。せっかの旅行なのでパラセーリングにこだわらなくてもです。ただ、私みたいにジェットコースターとか、非日常的な乗り物で酔った経験のある方ならば、そこまでナーバスにならなくても。最高の景色が見れて、旅行ならではの経験だから、あまり構えず、とにかく楽しんだ方がいいです。

If I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride it! You can see it from offshore at Waikiki Beach, and I enjoy riding the waves. Please take care of me next time I go to Hawaii.

ハワイに行ったら、必ず乗ります！
ワイキキビーチの沖から見れるし、波に乗って楽しみます。次回ハワイに行った時も、宜しくお願いします。

I thought it would be something to watch while eating, but the show started after we had a proper meal. I guess they want you to focus! (laughs) The food is delicious. I can't say it's surprisingly delicious, though! The drinks are the same. The show is amazing! I highly recommend going at least once if you come to Hawaii.

食事をしながら見るものかと思っていましたが、食事をしっかり食べたあとにショー開始でした。集中してくれってことなんですね！(笑)食事は美味しい。びっくりするほど美味しいとは言えないかんじ！飲み物も然り。ショーは最高!ハワイに来たら一度は行ったほうが良いとオススメするレベル。

We had a great time. Despite Neptune whipping sand up into the water making the clarity poor the crew made up for it and ensured we had a great time. We still saw green sea turtles both below and above the water. We had a great time just sailing the Cat when it was clear that snorkeling conditions weren't great.

I attended a relative's wedding in Hawaii... aloha

The day before, we had a family dinner and went to see the Rock-a-Hula show, which I had really wanted to see when coming to Hawaii. ☝️

It was the best show where I could enjoy it together with the cast, just as I expected. The staff were friendly, which added to the fun.

Next time, I will go to see it with my friends.

親戚の結婚式がありハワイへ………aloha

前日、会食を兼ね親戚皆で
ハワイに来たら是非観たかった
ロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。☝️

期待通りにキャストと一緒に楽しめる最高のショーでした。
スタッフの方も気さくで愉しさが増しました。

次はお友達と一緒に観にいきます。

I attended in late October 2019. The venue was beautiful, and there were relatively few guests, allowing us to enjoy the show comfortably. The content was a fusion of rock, pop, and hula, including impersonations of Michael Jackson, which were entertaining. However, overall, I felt the material was a bit outdated and lacked excitement.

I think the show would be more interesting if it mixed new and old elements more effectively.

2019年10月下旬に参加しました。
会場は綺麗で、比較的客数も少なく、ゆったりとショーを楽しむことが出来ました。ロックやポップとフラを融合した内容です、マイケル・ジャクソンの物真似など、面白い内容ですが、全体的にネタが古く、イマイチ盛り上がりに欠けると思います。

新旧織り交ぜるともっと面白いショーになると感じました。

from start to finish a must do for families wanting that extra fun activity to do. picked up from central location from hotel and dropped off at pier. very organized after drop off and staff very friendly and knowledgeable. my daughter and I enjoyed the vessel and the captain doing narration & made it fun

From the pick-up to the parasailing, everything was enjoyable without any issues! I felt reassured when they spoke a little Japanese. I chose the 150m parasailing, and it went really high, offering a fantastic view. We went in the morning and finished by noon, so I think we made good use of our day.

送迎からパラセイリングまで、問題なく楽しめました！
日本語も少し話してもらって安心できました。
パラセイリングは150mにしましたが、すごく高くまで上がり、景色が一望できました。
朝から行って午前中には終わったので、1日の時間が有効活用できると思います。

This was the activity I was looking forward to the most before my trip, and it turned out to be the most fun! I really recommend it!

On the day of the activity, my morning schedule ran late, and I nervously called to see if I could change the time. They kindly responded in Japanese to accommodate my limited English, and my time was successfully changed. The gentleman who came to pick us up was very cheerful! Since there were only two groups, including us, I think the waiting time on the boat was short!

Then it was our turn to go up into the air! We chose 150 meters, and I'm glad we did! Looking down was scary, but when I looked up, a wonderful view spread out before me, and it really boosted my spirits! It lasted about five minutes, but I wanted to do it more!

This is definitely an activity I want to do again when I go back to Hawaii!

旅行前から１番楽しみにしていたアクティビティで、結果１番楽しかったです(^^)！！本当におススメです☆
当日午前の予定が押してしまい、時間変更の希望が出来るか恐る恐る電話をかけると、英語が不慣れなこちらに合わせて日本語で対応してくださり、時間もちゃんと変更されていました。お迎えに来てくれるおじさんはとても愉快な方です♪今回行った時間では、私達を含め2組だけでしたので、船上での待機時間は短かったと思います！
そして私達の順番がきていざ空中へ！１５０mにしましたが、これにしてよかった！下を見ると怖いですが、顔を上げると素晴らしい景色が広がっていて、本当にテンションがあがります！！！５分程でしたがもっとやりたかったー(>_<)
またハワイに行ったら絶対やりたいアクティビティです！

Coral has settled on the sunken aircraft and ship right in front of me, and colorful fish are swarming around, allowing me to truly enjoy the natural food chain.

目の前に沈んだ航空機や船に珊瑚が住み付き、色とりどりの魚が群れていて自然の食物連鎖がリアルに楽しめました。

I’m really glad I did it! I went for 120m, but I slightly regret not going for 150m. The driver, Yano, was very friendly and funny, and he wrote down some great restaurant recommendations and took me back to the hotel multiple times. I can’t thank him enough for everything he did. It turned out to be a fun honeymoon!

とっても気持ちよくやってよかったです！120mにしたのですが、150mにしたらよかったなと少し後悔です。ドライバーのヤノさん？とても気さくで面白くて、美味しいお店を書き出してくれたり何度もホテルまで送っていただいたり、終始よくしていただき感謝しかないです。楽しい新婚旅行になりました！

So much fun, a highlight of our trip. The crew was wonderful. Highly recommend!!

We had the time of our life. The crew were hilarious and made us laughed so hard. I would do it again 100 times! It was a huge adrenaline rush up at 1000 feet!

On the last day of our trip, we searched for activities near Waikiki and made a reservation the day before. The other participants were mostly foreigners, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but we managed to follow along. About 10 minutes after departure, snorkeling began. There weren't many fish, but we saw three sea turtles. The ocean was surprisingly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed sailing and took in views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. We had a lot more fun than we expected, even near Waikiki!

旅行最終日にワイキキ近くでできるアクティビティを探して前日申込みました。
参加者は私達夫婦以外は外人ばかりで、日本語の説明も全くありませんでしたが、流れでついていきました。
出航から10分くらいでシュノーケルが始まりました。魚はあまりいませんでしたが、ホヌは3匹は見れました。海は意外にもキレイでした。
その後セーリングでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを海から眺めました。
ワイキキ近くでも予想以上に楽しめました！

This was our very 1st event when we arrived to Oahu, was so beautiful to see Waikiki from the sea. Got to see sunset and the moon too! They were all very attentive, offered us a drink as soon as we boarded. Even offered to take our pictures. =)
Relaxing and fun experience.

I didn't catch anything at all, and the equipment and tackle were at a toy level. The location was also close to the port, so it didn't require much effort.

With just a quick money-making scheme, there's no way repeat customers will come back.

全く釣れず、道具も仕掛けもおもちゃレベルで場所も港から近くてエネルギー使ってない。

その場しのぎの金儲けだけで、リピーターが来るわけない

We had a great cruise out on the bay with a fantastic sunset. We had our own drinks, which was great. The crew were perfect and helpful with anything you need. Recommend highly

My wife and I booked last minute to take this tour. The hosts were great and it was a nice way to begin an evening out. Would recommend!
