All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Even though I couldn't surf, I had a great time experiencing riding the waves. You can ride the waves three times. The time flew by.

サーフィンができなくても波乗りを体験することができて楽しかったです。3回波に乗ることができます。あっという間の時間です。

The dancers and musicians were fantastic! Food and service was great!

Fortunately, during the time the sun was setting, there were no clouds in that direction, and I was able to watch the sunset in real-time. Although I'm not very good at English (I can hardly speak it), I was able to have some interaction with people from other countries using Google Translate.

運良く太陽が沈む時間帯、その方向に雲がまったく無く太陽が沈む様子をリアルタイムでじっくり観ることが出来ました
英語が不得意（ほぼ話せない）でしたがGoogle翻訳で他国の方とも少しですが交流が持てました

Overall, I was quite satisfied.

First of all, being able to see a sea turtle up close was the biggest highlight, and it was worth participating just for that. I thought there might be some luck involved depending on the ocean conditions, but we were able to encounter them, which really boosted my excitement.

Also, it was great that I could enjoy the experience even with almost no English skills. The guide's explanations were simple, and they were conveyed well through gestures and the overall atmosphere. As long as I understood the basic flow, there were almost no situations where I felt lost.

全体的にかなり満足度高かったです。
まずウミガメを至近距離で見られたのが一番大きくて、これだけでも参加した価値は十分ありました。海のコンディションや運次第な部分もあると思っていたけど、しっかり遭遇できてテンション上がりました。
それと英語がほとんどできなくても問題なく楽しめたのも良かった点です。ガイドの説明はシンプルで、ジェスチャーや雰囲気で十分伝わるし、最低限の流れさえ分かっていれば困る場面はほぼありませんでした。

It was an experience that you can't easily have in Japan, where you could witness the action right in front of you and feel the breath and sharp movements up close. Moreover, it was just a five-minute walk to the hotel after the show, which was a unique aspect of being in Hawaii.

なかなか、日本では体験できない、目の前でのアクションで、息遣いやシャープな動きを目の当たりで体験できました。
なお、ショーが終わって5分で、ホテルでしたので、ハワイならではでした。

First off. This was an adult only, open bar sunset cruise. I have been on quite a few of these in the past. This cruise they didn’t even play the music up at all and there was little to no energy from the crew. And they ran out of white claws… Would not book again from this company.

The sunset itself was incredibly beautiful and had an extraordinary feel to it, but it was different from the sunset cruise I had imagined.

On the day we participated, as we headed out to sea, the waves and wind were intense (I didn't feel it when I was by the beach; the weather was clear), and the boat rocked so much that I thought it might capsize. The splashes were just overwhelming! Those at the front of the boat were getting drenched from head to toe (there was a prior announcement warning that the front would get wet), and even those of us sitting further back got splashed several times and ended up completely soaked.

Although drinks were unlimited, the rocking of the boat and the splashes made it hard to enjoy them after a while.

Thanks to the loud EDM music (?), it turned into a crazy experience typical of overseas adventures, but it was a far cry from what I had envisioned; it felt more like a tough pirate experience. I would recommend it for younger, party-loving people. Those who get seasick, are looking for a romantic atmosphere, or are with children or seniors might want to skip it.

I believe it also depends on the weather and the captain's driving, so I hope this can serve as a reference as a personal experience. Thank you!

サンセット自体はすごく綺麗に見え、非日常感もありましたが、イメージしていたサンセットクルーズとは違いました。。

私たちが参加した日は、沖に出ていくにつれとにかく波風がすごくて(海辺にいた時は感じませんでした。天気も晴天です)、船が転覆するのでは？というくらい揺れましたし、波飛沫がとにかくすごい！！！船のヘッドにいた方たちは頭から絶えず水をかぶるレベルで濡れていましたし(ヘッドは濡れるので注意してね！というアナウンスは事前にありましたが)、前の方に座っていた私たちも何度か頭から水を被り全身びっしょ濡れに、、、
飲み放題ですが、船の揺れと飛沫がすごいので途中からそれどころじゃなくなりました。

EDMがガンガンに流れていたおかげで(？)、海外らしいクレイジーな体験ということである意味思い出にはなりましたが、イメージしていたものとは程遠い過酷なパイレーツ体験でした。
おすすめは若くてパリピな方かな。
船酔いする方や、ロマンティックな雰囲気を求めている方、子供連れやシニアの方はやめておいた方がいいです。

当日の天候や船長の運転にもよるとは思うので、一体験談として参考にしていただけると幸いです。ありがとうございました！

The venue was compact, so I could see well. The performance was very Hawaiian and I was moved. I would like to see it again when I come back to Waikiki.

会場がコンパクトだったので、よく見えました。ハワイらしい演目で感動しました。
またワイキキへ来たら見たいです。

There were many popular songs, and it was a fun show. The backup dancers frequently changed costumes and seemed to be working hard as they took on multiple roles, but they did a great job!

ポピュラーな曲がたくさん出てきて、楽しいショーでした。バックダンサーの人たちは、衣装を度々変えて一人何役もこなして大変そうでしたが頑張ってました！

The large yacht docks at Waikiki Beach, making it easily accessible. The staff is friendly, and although we were the only Japanese guests, it was not a problem. We were able to see a beautiful sunset.

ワイキキビーチに大型ヨットが接岸するので、アクセスがいいです。スタッフもフレンドリーで日本人は私たちだけでしたが、問題なしです。美しい夕焼けを見ることができました。

Hawaii is in its rainy season, and indeed, it rained the day before, but the weather was nice and calm on the day of our trip. During the shuttle trolley ride from Waikiki to the port, we were warned that the boat is small and the restroom is really only for emergencies, so it's best to use the facilities at the port. The public restrooms at the port have a very old-fashioned feel, so if you're concerned, it might be a good idea to bring some flushable tissues.

As soon as we set sail, we spotted about three dolphins jumping in the distance, as if they were sending us off. There were no Japanese announcements on board, but judging from the shuttle trolley, I think there were a few other Japanese guests besides us.

Now, regarding the whales, we saw their backs breaking the surface of the water several times. According to the captain's explanation, it seems that a baby whale was practicing swimming.

Oh, and about the snacks on board, hot coffee was very popular. When we boarded, they had just run out, and since it would take time to brew more and we were about to set sail, I gave up on that. The donuts? Malasadas? They were almost sold out, likely because there were many families with children. We were told that there was a water dispenser over there for self-service, so I just drank water. In other words, unless you can get to the port early and board on your own, I wouldn't expect much in terms of snacks.

Back to the whales, they tried putting a microphone underwater to see if we could hear the whales' voices, and it seemed like it was quite a hit since many similar boats gathered around. However, the engine noise from those boats was louder, so it seemed we missed out on that. We did see some jumps, but capturing them in photos was difficult. The shape of a whale's tail fin is said to differ from individual to individual, like fingerprints, so the captain explained that if you send a photo of the tail fin to the appropriate site, they can identify the whale.

On our way back, they mentioned that we were running a bit late and would be returning to the port at full speed, which made me think they were really trying hard. All the staff were very efficient in their movements, yet they were friendly and approachable, which made for a pleasant experience.

ハワイは雨季だそうで、実際前日は雨でしたが、当日は穏やかな天気で良かったです。
ワイキキから港までの送迎トロリーの中で、船は小さくてトイレは本当に緊急時用なので、港で必ず行っといて、のように注意されるのですが、港の公衆トイレは昔ながらの公衆トイレ、という感じなので、気になる方は水に流せるティッシュを用意しておくといいかも。
出港すると早速、少し遠くの方でイルカが3頭ほどジャンプして、私たちを送り出してくれたようにも見えました。船内で日本語の案内は一切ありませんでしたが、送迎のトロリーの様子から推察すると、私たち以外にも数組、日本人客はいたと思います。
そして肝心のクジラですが、ちょっと水面に背中が出てきたり、というのは何度も見ました。船長さんの説明によると、赤ちゃんクジラが泳ぎの練習中なのでしょうと。
そうそう、船内でのおやつですが、ホットコーヒーは大人気で、私たちが乗船したタイミングではちょうどなくなったところで、また沸かすまで時間かかるしもうすぐ出港するからと言われたので諦めました。ドーナツ? マラサダ? も、家族連れの子供たちが多かったせいか、ほぼ売り切れ状態だったので、水ならウォーターサーバーがあそこにあるからセルフサービスでどうぞ、のように言われて、私は水だけ飲んでました。つまり、自力で港に行けて早めに乗船できない限り、期待しないほうがいいと思います。
で、クジラの話に戻ると、この日は水中にマイク(?)を入れて、クジラの声が聞けるかな? というのを試してくれたのですが、どうやらかなりの大当たりだったらしく、周りに同じような船がたくさん集まっていて、そういう船のエンジン音の方が響くからということで、こちらは空振りだったようです。でも一応ジャンプするのは見えました。ただ写真に収めるのは難しいです。クジラの尾ヒレの形状は、指紋のように個体ごとに異なるそうなので、然るべきサイトに尾ひれの写真を送ると、クジラの個体を特定してくれる、という説明も船長さんから聞きました。予定よりちょっと遅れてしまったので全速力で港に戻ります、のようなことを帰り際に言っていたので、すごく頑張ってくださったのだなと思いました。スタッフの皆さん、全員キビキビ動いていて、でも私たちには気さくに接してくださって気持ちよかったです。

So much fun! 👋😃✨ That one word.
Play knows no age!
We are a couple aged 74 and 68, and we had a great time 😃
It was the main purpose of our trip, so it was definitely the right choice! ⭕

楽しい！👋😃✨その一言
遊びは年齢に関係無い！
74歳68歳の夫婦ですが、楽しかった😃
今回1番の目的だったので大正解⭕

Fun experience, guides were very knowledgeable.
Didn't see nearly the fish that I thought we would.
Man-made reef so not really colorful.
Fun to say we went on a submarine.

In April, there might be fewer whales themselves. It felt like a tour where we were just watching a pair of parent and baby whales for a long time. The guide was a very fun person, and the tour itself was enjoyable!

4月になると，くじら自体の頭数が少ないのかな。
1組の親子クジラをずっと眺めているようなツアーでした。
ガイドさんはとても楽しい方で、ツアー自体は楽しかったです！

After checking in, I received a fresh flower lei. It was very cute.

Then, I was guided to my dining seat, but the groups were separated based on the purchased tickets. With the VIP ticket, I was able to go to the buffet first and enjoyed various privileges, which was convenient.

The food was very delicious. I especially found the Mai Tai to be very easy to drink, and I had two cups. During the meal, there was also live music and hula dancing, which added to the enjoyment.

Afterward, I moved to a seat to watch the show, and the VIP seats were in the first and second rows in the center, allowing me to enjoy the show from a very close distance. The VIP seats included two complimentary drinks, and I was able to enjoy the second drink while watching the show.

チェックインをした後、生花のレイをいただきました。とても可愛かったです。
その後食事の席に案内をされましたが、購入した座席によって、グループが分かれていました。VIPチケットの場合、ブッフェを先に取りに行けたり、何かと優遇されていて便利でした。

料理はとても美味しかったです。とくにマイタイがとても飲みやすく2杯飲みました。食事中にも楽器の演奏をしていただいたり、フラダンスが観れて楽しめました。

その後ショーを観るため座席を移動しましたが、VIP席は真ん中の一列目から2列までで、かなり近い席でショーを楽しむことができました。
VIP席は2杯分のドリンクがサービスでついており、2杯目はショーを観ながら飲むことができました。

The entrance to the store is a bit hard to find. Go left where the sign is, and it's on the second floor after going up the stairs. The meal was a course with a limited selection, but I was full. It seems there are also various à la carte options. The server did not understand Japanese at all.

お店の入り口が少しわかりにくいです。
看板があるところを左手に進み、階段を進んだ2階です。
食事は品数は少ないコースでしたが、お腹はいっぱいになりました。単品メニューも色々あるようです。
サーバーには日本語が全く通じませんでした。

As expected from the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil. The performers' skills were amazing, and I was on the edge of my seat. There were moments when audience members were brought up on stage, which added to the fun.

Since there are performances that take place high above from the ceiling, I think sitting in the back where you can see the entire stage is perfectly fine. If you're in the front seats, you'll have to look up a lot, which might get a bit tiring. You can purchase beers and other drinks at the bar counter near the entrance and bring them in.

さすがは世界のシルクドソレイユです。
演者の技術も素晴らしく、ハラハラドキドキさせられました。お客様をステージに上げる場面もあり、楽しめました。
天井からの高さのあるパフォーマンスもあるため、ステージ全体が見える後ろでも全然いいと思います。
前の席だと見上げる形になるので少し疲れると思います。入り口付近にあるバーカウンターでビールなどを購入して持ち込めます。

Very chill evening. The crew was very laid back. We hada clear view of the fireworks, all while enjoying the a few adult beverages and making new friends and memories.

It was a small boat, which made it quite impressive and enjoyable. The cruise lasted just the right amount of time (a little under an hour). The free drinks were also highly rated. The staff were all friendly, which added to the fun.

The engine is used during departure and arrival, but once offshore, they sail using the sails. I think it's a highlight to see the staff raising and lowering the sails and steering the boat.

小さな船だったこともあり迫力があり楽しめました。またちょうど良い時間（1時間弱）のクルーズでした。フリードリンクも好評価。スタッフも気さくな方ばかりだったので楽しめました。
出航帰港の時はエンジンを使いますが、沖合では帆を操って航行。スタッフが帆を張ったり畳んだり船の方向を操作するのも見どころかと思います。

ビュッフェスタイルの料理はおいしくて、おなか一杯食べてしまいました。
食事中にフラダンスやウクレレ演奏での歌などがあり楽しく過ごせました。
十分時間をとってからのショー会場への移動。
フラダンスや歌唱ショーなどあっという間の時間に感じるくらいの楽しさでした。
レイをいただいたのですが生花だったので自宅まで持って帰れなかったのが残念でした。

Segway, which I wanted to experience at least once since I saw it on TV a few years ago! This time, I participated with my family of four. It was fun to ride along the coast while receiving the gazes and smiles of many people. Remi Hirano's talk was also fantastic! We took a lot of photos (my phone that I handed over was left with only 2% battery, haha). I would love to join again when I go to Hawaii!

何年か前にTVで観てから一度は体験してみたかったセグウェイ！今回は家族４人での参加でした。たくさんの人の視線と笑顔を受けながら海岸沿いを走るのは楽しかったです。ハワイの平野レミさんのトークも最高！写真もいっぱい(預けた携帯の充電が残り2%笑)撮っていただきました。またハワイに行ったら参加したいですね。

I signed up for the buffet and show plan. The buffet was delicious, offering a variety of meats to enjoy. There were also hula lessons along the way, which were fun.

And the show was amazing! In addition to the traditional hula and luau show, the performances featuring Elvis and Michael were incredibly exciting. It was great to take pictures together at the end as well.

ビュッフェとショーのプランに申し込みしました。ビュッフェはいろんなお肉も楽しめて美味しかったです。途中フラレッスンなどもあって楽しめました。
そしてショーは最高でした！伝統的なフラとルアウのショーに加えて、エルヴィスとマイケルのダンスとショーが最高に盛り上がりました。最後に一緒に写真も撮ってもらえてよかったです。

It was absolutely amazing.
I was in the front row, right in the center.
There was a guy sitting next to me who was moving strangely, and I thought it was scary.
Suddenly, he went up on stage, and security came over, so I was like, "What’s going on?!"
But it turned out to be one of the performers (the leader). Haha!

素晴らし過ぎました。
1番真ん中の最前列でした。
隣に変な動きする男の人が座って、怖いなと思ってました。
急に舞台にあがって、警備の人が来たので
えー！！どうなってるの？と思ったら
まさかの演者さん(団長)でした。笑

It was amazing to see the fireworks up close from the yacht! ✨ You can enjoy a different kind of fun compared to large ships. When boarding, you get on directly from the beach, but depending on the waves, you might get wet. By the way, I was soaked from the thighs down. 😅 I think it's good to keep that in mind when boarding.

ヨットなので花火が近い場所から見れて
最高でした✨
大型船とは違う楽しさを味わえます♪
乗船する時は浜辺から直接乗りますが
波の具合悪くよっては濡れます。
因みに私は太ももから下はびしょ濡れ😅
それを踏まえて乗船されるといいと思います。

When I arrived a little before the start time, I found that the tables were already crowded with people. It was a buffet style, but there were too many people, so I couldn't enjoy the meal much. However, the show that followed was impressive and fantastic.

開始時間少し前に到着するとすでに狭く並べられたテーブルを人が埋め尽くしている状況でした。ビュッフェ形式でしたが、人が多過ぎて食事をあまり楽しめませんでした。ただ、その後のショーは見応えがあり最高でした。

Since we participated as a pair, we had to pay for three people, but it was really fun in the end. There wasn't a Japanese instructor during our session, which was tough, but they gave instructions in Japanese while we were paddling. The next day, my arms were sore from the muscle pain, haha! I think I will join again if I have the chance!

２人での参加だったので、３人分支払いをしなければなりませんでしたが結果とても楽しかったです。私達の時は日本人のインストラクターはおらず大変でしたが漕いでる時は日本語で指示してくれます。
次の日腕が筋肉痛になりました笑
また機会があれば参加しようと思います！

I wanted to see sea turtles, so I made a last-minute reservation, and I'm glad I chose this one! We departed from a marina near Ala Moana Shopping Center and were able to see sea turtles off the coast of Waikiki Beach! It was a bit murky because it rained the day before, but we could still see them with the naked eye from the boat. They say it would be even clearer if it hadn't rained.

After snorkeling, there was an all-you-can-drink option, including alcohol. That was also fantastic!

ウミガメが見たくて、急遽予約しましたが選んで良かった！
アラモアナショッピングセンター近くのマリーナから出港して、ワイキキビーチ沖でウミガメ見れました！
前日に雨が降ったので少し濁ってましたが船上から肉眼でも見れます。
雨が降らなかったらもっとクリアに見えるそうです。

シュノーケリング後は、ドリンク飲み放題でアルコールもあります。これまた最高！

Loved the experience! Once in a lifetime so far. Hope to have a repeat someday!!

The day I happened to experience it had a small number of people, and I was able to have it explained in Japanese, which was truly wonderful. It was a rare experience to see magic up close. The magic was so amazing that even watching it right in front of me, I couldn't figure out how it was done. It was a fantastic skill, and I had a great time. It really became an unforgettable memory.

たまたま体験した日の人数が少なく、日本語で説明してもらえ，とても素晴らしかったです。身近でマジックが見られ、なかなかできない体験でした。素晴らしいマジックで目の前で見ててもたねは分からず、素晴らしい技で、楽しいひとときを過ごせました。本当に忘れられないいい思い出になりました。

Every time I come to Hawaii, I've been searching for hula shows, but since COVID, they have really decreased. This time, I finally got to see an amazing show after a long time.

I already knew that the food at Hyatt was delicious, but it seems to have reached another level; it was incredibly tasty. The man in his 70s who came with me even went back for seconds three times! The seafood was also delicious, and I wished I had a bigger stomach to eat more.

The hula show was the highlight of this trip. We were the only Japanese people there; everyone else was from English-speaking countries. The singing and music were wonderful, and the dancers were so skilled and beautiful that I didn't know where to look. It was a dreamy experience, and I was completely immersed in it.

Since we reserved VIP seats, we were right in the front center. There were no staff members who understood Japanese, but I think we managed to communicate through gestures and efforts to understand each other. They were very kind.

ハワイに来るたび、フラのショーを探しまくって見てましたが、コロナ以降すごく減ってしまい、久しぶりに最高のショーが見れました。
ハイアットのご飯は美味しい事は知ってましたが、またレベルが上がったのか、素晴らしく美味しかったです。
一緒に行った70代男性はお肉を３回もおかわりしたくらいです。
シーフードもどれも美味しくて、もっと食べれるお腹があればいいのにと思いました。

フラのショーは今回の旅行で1番です。
日本人は私たちだけで、他はみなさん英語圏の方でした。
歌も音楽も素晴らしく、ダンサーさんたちはどこ見ていいのかわからなくなるくらいみなさん上手で綺麗で楽しくて、夢のような時間でした。没頭しました。
ＶＩＰで予約したので、1番前正面の席。
日本語がわかるスタッフさんはいませんでしたが、お互いに頑張って伝えようと身振り手振りで意思疎通できていたと思います。
優しかったです。
