All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

I was worried about the meal because I didn't have a great experience at a previous event, but everything was very delicious. The pineapple and the lomi lomi before the meal were especially fantastic.
I arrived early, and before the buffet started, each group was treated to a live performance of a ukulele chorus. I recommend arriving early.
The show focused on Elvis and Michael, and I think adults will really enjoy it.
It might be a bit difficult for those from generations that aren't very familiar with Elvis and Michael.
After the show, there was time to take photos with the performers, which made for a nice memory.

お食事は、以前別のイベントであまりいい思い出がなかったので、心配していましたが、どれもとてもおいしくいただきました。特に食前のパイナップルやロミロミが最高でした。
早めに到着しましたが、ビュッフェが始まる前に１組ずつウクレレのワンコーラスの生演奏をしていただきました。早めに行くことをお勧めします。
ショーはエルビスとマイケル中心で、大人の方々は大変楽しめると思います。
あまりエルビスと、マイケルになじみのない世代には少し難しいかもしれません。。
ショーの後は、演者の方々と写真を撮る時間もあり、いい記念になりました。

I checked in at 9:30 for my 10:00 reservation and boarded the boat as soon as the previous group returned. There were two crew members and ten passengers. Right after boarding, we put on life jackets and seat belts, and took turns jumping. I was nervous until we took off, but once we were in the air, the sound of the wind was pleasant, and the blue of the sky and sea was beautiful. It was amazing to see Diamond Head and Waikiki from the ocean side.

10時予約のため9時30分に受付、前のグループが戻って来てすぐに乗船。
クルーは2人、乗客は10名でした。乗船後すぐにライフジャケット、ベルト着用、順番に飛びます。飛ぶまではドキドキしましたが、上空に上がると風の音が心地良く、空と海の青さが綺麗で海からダイヤモンドヘッド、ワイキキの景色を海側から見ることが出来素晴らしかったです。

I only rode it once because I was on another trolley tour, but the Pink Line was a comfortable double-decker bus. As a means of transportation, it felt similar to taking a train.

他のトロリー付きのツアーにしていたため、1回しか乗っていませんが、ピンクラインは二階建ての気持ちいいバスでした。
移動手段としては電車的な乗り方です。

I had a great time! I definitely want to ride again next time. (Thank you for resending the data.)

とても楽しかったです！
次もまた絶対乗りたい。
（データ送り直してくださりありがとうございました。）

I had a great time paragliding for the first time.
I understand a little Japanese.
They ask how long you want to stay in the water.
The scenery was very beautiful.

I went at 4 PM.
Due to the sunlight, there was almost no shade in the waiting area, and it was hot while waiting.

There was a restroom nearby, but it was a public toilet by the beach.
There may be times when there is no toilet paper.

初めてのパラセイルとっても楽しめました。
日本語は少し通じます。
どれくらい着水したいか聞いてくれます。
とても景色が綺麗でした。

16時の回でした。
日の当たりの都合で待っている間の待合所の日陰が殆どなく暑かったです。

近くにトイレはありましたが、海辺の公衆トイレです。
トイレットペーパーがない場合があります。

We participated with two children, aged 10 and 7, and three adults. There were only two Japanese couples in our group, along with people from France, Canada, and South Korea, making it a multicultural experience. They asked if we were okay with English, and when I replied that I could understand a little, they kindly gathered the Japanese group and earnestly explained safety points while reading from their smartphones in Japanese. I was really touched by their effort!

The children, who were snorkeling for the first time, were a bit anxious at first, but just five minutes in, they were having so much fun! A sea turtle surfaced right where my daughter was, and even though the crew told us to stay back, it came closer. We ended up face to face, just 20 centimeters apart, which was an incredible experience. We also saw a couple of turtles, and the underwater world was truly moving; it was such a wonderful place.

I thought that if you go to Hawaii, you really shouldn't miss this. I will definitely use this service again next time. Thank you very much!

子供10歳、7歳と大人3人で参加しました。
日本人グループは私たちとご夫婦の二組のみ。フランスやカナダ、韓国と多国籍の方々も居ました。
英語大丈夫？と聞いてくれて、私が少しだけ、と答えると、日本人グループを集めて安全のこと中心にポイントをスマホの日本語を読みながら優しく一生懸命話してくれました。その気持ちが嬉しかったです！
シュノーケル初めての子どもたちも不安がっていましたが、開始5分後には楽しい！と夢中に。海亀が海面に出るタイミングがちょうど娘のいる所で、(離れて！とcrewたちがいうものの近づいてきてしまいました)顔と顔が至近距離！20センチのところで目が合って大迫力だったとのこと。夫婦亀も見れて海の中は感動、ホントに素敵な世界でした。
ハワイに行ったらやらなきゃ損だなと思いました。次回も利用します。ありがとうございました。

The explanation for snorkeling was easy to understand, and all the staff were friendly. The guide showed us a sea urchin that he picked up while free diving and helped us find sea turtles. There were some waves, which made it a bit challenging, but it was great to meet the sea turtles.

シュノーケリングの説明はわかりやすい英語で、スタッフは皆親切です。
ガイドさんはウニを素潜りで拾い見せてくれたり、ウミガメを探して位置を教えてくれました。
波があり少し苦戦しましたが、ウミガメに会えてとても良かったです。

In front of Duke's restaurant you walk a few steps on the beach onto a wonderful catamaran-then go out for a hour ride on the water- the weather was sunny 85 degrees once out for five minutes the two front sails are dropped and the wind takes over the power. what a view of the open waters and Diamond Head on the left. Before we turned around to head back to shore, I had finished my first drink, a MaiTai, then on way back in had a fresh pineapple juice with rum-what's not to like? Did I say drinks are included! The view of the Honolulu beach and all the high rise hotels was cool coming in. To top off such a wonderful time, had dinner at Duke's-that's another story-do this it will be a highlife of your visit to Oahu.

We participated with the aim of touring the botanical garden. The well-paved paths were easy to walk on, and there were plenty of large trees providing shade, making it comfortable to stroll without direct sunlight. Each plant had a name tag, which made it easy to understand.

Unfortunately, the main waterfall activity was disappointing due to a lack of rain, causing the waterfall to dry up, which left participants looking forward to it feeling let down. Instead, we were taken to Haleiwa and had a great time there.

We were the only Japanese participants, but the guide was fluent in Japanese, so they provided explanations in both English and Japanese on the bus and at the botanical garden. The driver and tour guide were very kind and provided various explanations, making it an enjoyable experience.

私たちは植物園巡りを目的として参加しました。きれいに舗装された道は歩きやすく、大きな木の木陰が多いので直射日光も遮られ気持ちよく歩くことができます。植物毎に名札が付いておりわかりやすいです。
メインの滝壺遊びは雨不足により滝が枯れていたため、滝壺遊びを楽しみにしていた参加者はがっかりされていました。
代わりにハレイワへ連れて行ってくださり楽しく過ごしました。
日本人の参加者は私たちだけでしたが、日本語堪能な方でしたので、バスの中でも植物園でも英語と日本語でそれぞれ説明してくださいました。ドライバー兼ツアーガイドさんがとても親切にしてくださり、いろいろな説明してくださったので楽しかったです。

I participated with my middle school child, but all the participants were foreigners (I couldn't understand the explanations at all). Although the atmosphere was adult-oriented since alcohol was served, we were able to relax and spend a long time enjoying light snacks, which made for a wonderful memory on our last night. I'm glad I participated.

中学生の子供と参加しましたが、全員外国人の参加でした（解説も全く聞き取れませんでした）。お酒を飲めることから大人の雰囲気ではありましたが、軽食を食べながら長い時間、ゆったりと過ごすことが出来、最後の夜の素敵な思い出になりました。参加して良かったです。

I was a bit anxious about whether I would really get to see sea turtles, but I was thrilled to see several of them up close. The staff also entered the water and would point out where the turtles were when they found them. However, the clarity of the water itself isn't that great, so while you can see the turtles up close if they are near, it's hard to see them well if they are a bit farther away. In fact, it's better to take off the mask they provide and see the turtles with your bare eyes as they come up to the surface multiple times. It's moving to see their adorable faces at the same eye level underwater!

Also, from the boat, you can enjoy views of the streets of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and people surfing, showcasing the quintessential Hawaii scenery. It was a lot of fun, combining a bit of cruising as well.

本当にウミガメに会えるのか少し不安もありましたが、何匹も間近に見ることができて感激しました。
スタッフさんも海の中に入り、ウミガメを見つけるとどこにいるかを教えてくれます。
ただ海自体の透明度はそれほどないため、水中でもウミガメが近くにいれば見えますが、少し離れるとよく見ることはできません。むしろ水面に何度も顔を出すウミガメを、貸し出ししてくれるマスクを外して裸眼で見る方がよく見れます。愛らしい顔を海の中で同じ目線で見られて感動します！
また、船上からはワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッド、サーフィンを楽しんでいる人々など、ザ・ハワイといった景観も充分見ることができ、ちょっとしたクルージングも兼ねてとても楽しめました。

I'm not good with heights, but since my family wanted to do it, I thought it would be nice to view Diamond Head from the sky, so I did my best to participate.

It was scary at the highest point, but the view from above was amazing.

高い所が苦手ですが、家族がやりたいと言うので空からダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるの良いかなと思って頑張って参加しました。

1番高いところでは怖かったですが、空から眺める景色は最高でした。

After signing the waiver at the meeting point, we boarded a larger boat. We were given fins and goggles there. The size of the fins can be adjusted after trying them on! It takes about 15 minutes to reach the spot where we can see sea turtles. The boat sways a bit, so if you're prone to seasickness, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication...! Once we started swimming, we were able to see the sea turtles! They were very large, and I was surprised! The guide was also very kind, and even though I didn't understand English, I had a great time! I definitely want to participate again!

集合場所で誓約書にサインして大きめの船に乗船。そこでフィンやゴーグルを渡されます。フィンのサイズは試着した後、サイズ変更可能です！ウミガメが見られるスポットまでは15分程度。少し揺れるので船酔いが気になる人は酔い止めがあった方が良いかもです…！泳ぎ始めるとウミガメの姿も見られました！とても大きくてびっくりしました！
ガイドの方もとても親切で、英語が分からなくても楽しかったです！またぜひ参加したいと思います！

Viewing the fireworks from the catamaran was the highlight of our week in Waikiki.

The driver was friendly, and although it was mentioned that he couldn't speak Japanese, it seemed his wife was Japanese, so he could speak a little. It was cool in the early morning, and I was able to climb at my own pace. On the way back, he kindly provided bottled water, which tasted very good. When I arrived at the hotel, I made it in time for breakfast, so that was great. I did well at 56 years old!

ドライバーさんも気さくな方で日本語は出来ないと書いてあったけど奥様が日本人だったようで片言ですが良かったです。
早朝で涼しく、自分のペースで登る事が出来ました。帰りにはペットボトルをサービスして下さりとても美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたら朝食の時間に間に合い食べる事もできたので良かったです。56才よく頑張りました

I got a seat in the center of the front row, and after waiting about a day, it was confirmed. It was very easy. The performance right in front of me was indeed impressive. If I can go again next time, I would like to make a reservation again.

最前列の中央の席を取ってもらい一日くらい待って確定しました。とても簡単でした
目の前での演技はやっぱり迫力がありますね
次回も行けたらまた予約したいと思います

Every time I go to Hawaii, I sign up for parasailing here!
What a lucky thing it was that this time there were no other passengers, and the service was outstanding in a private setting!
We even shared personal stories, and I got some recommendations for Hawaii.
They might be my number one acquaintance in Hawaii (laughs).
Also, it seems like it was the first day for a young crew member this time, and there were three of them. I'm looking forward to seeing the growth of the younger staff. On the other hand, I'm a bit worried about whether the usual crew will retire...
See you!

ハワイに行くたびに、こちらのパラセーリングを申し込みます！
何とラッキーなことに、今回は他の同乗者が無く、プライベートでサービス満点でした！
身の上話までして、ハワイのオススメを教えてもらいました。
ハワイで1番の知り合いかも（笑）
あと、今回は若いクルーの初日だったみたいで、３人体制でした。若手の成長も楽しみです。逆に、いつものクルーが引退しないか気になりますが…
またね！

The singing and hula dancing by the host, as well as the fire show, were all authentic, impressive, and wonderful! The food was delicious as well.

The show ended just in time for the fireworks, making for a fun night.

Next time, I would like to bring my children along.

司会の方の歌やフラダンス、ファイヤーショーもみんな本格的で迫力があり素敵でした！
またお食事もみんな美味しかったです。

花火の時間に丁度間に合うようにショーが終わり楽しい夜でした。

また次回は子供を連れて参加したいです。

All the performances were enjoyable and moving. The sense of unity with the audience was simply the best. The venue is cozy, so I think every seat offers an impressive view.

全ての演目が楽しかったですし、感動しました。観客との一体感がとにかく最高でした。会場はこじんまりとしているので、どの席から見ても圧巻だと思います。

The sea was a bit murky, but we were able to encounter sea turtles about 5-6 times. It takes about 10 minutes by boat to get there, and we snorkeled for a little over an hour. It's definitely a good idea to bring drinks, sunglasses, sunscreen, a rash guard, and motion sickness medication.

All the instructions are in English, so having a certain level of English proficiency would be reassuring. There were no other Japanese people besides us, but the crew members were very kind. Each person snorkeled, and when a turtle appeared, they would point out the direction. It felt like everyone swam to see the turtles, so I think being able to swim to some extent would enhance the experience.

Thank you to Captain Jamie, Big Mike, and Seamus!

少し海が濁っていましたが、5-6回ほどウミガメに遭遇する事ができました。
片道10分程度船で移動、1時間強シュノーケリングです。飲み物、サングラス、日焼け止め、ラッシュガード、酔い止めは絶対に持って行った方が良いです。

注意事項等全て英語となるのである程度英語力があった方が安心かと思います。
私達以外に日本人はいなかったですが、クルーの皆さんがとても親切でした。
各自シュノーケルをして、ウミガメが現れるとその方角を教えてくれます。各自泳いでカメを見に行く感じで、ある程度泳げた方が楽しめるかなと思いました。

船長のジェイミーさん、ビックマイクさん、シェイマスさんありがとうございました！

I was confused about where to show the voucher. I received instructions to exchange it for tickets for the number of people at the green ticket counter on the second floor. That was the only issue I had. The sense of unity between the stage and the audience made the 80 minutes fly by. I felt the essence of Hawaii and was satisfied.

バウチャーをどこで見せるか戸惑う。2階の緑のチケットカウンターで人数分のチケットと引換るよう説明を受ける。困ったのはそれくらい。
ステージと客席の一体感もあって80分あっという間でした。ハワイらしさを感じられて満足しました。

The show was wonderfully structured, and even though they were impersonators, it was truly impressive for an American business. The flow of the tempo was good, and at the end, the performers were easy to talk to and took photos with us, creating great memories. If I had to mention a downside, the buffet-style meal didn't meet my expectations, and there were very few Japanese guests who went back for seconds.

素晴らしいショウの構成で，そっくりさんと言えど流石にアメリカの商ビジネスですね。テンポの流れも良く最後に出演者との歓談や写真撮影も気軽に応じてくれて良い想い出が作れました。難をいうならブッフェスタイルの食事の内容が期待していた程では無くて日本人の人達は殆どお代わりする人は少なかったです。

We arrived at the snorkeling spot in no time after departure. Once we put on our gear and entered the water, I was amazed to see colorful fish swimming right in front of me. As I swam towards where the staff pointed, I was thrilled to see a sea turtle swimming gracefully!

All the staff were friendly and provided thorough explanations, so I felt secure participating in the tour. My elementary school-aged child also seemed very happy and enjoyed snorkeling the whole time. I would love to join again on our next trip to Hawaii.

出航からあっという間にシュノーケリングスポットに到着。装具を身に付け、海に入るとカラフルな魚が目の前を泳ぐ姿にびっくりしました。スタッフの指さす方へ泳いで行くと、ウミガメが優雅に泳いでいるのが見えて感動しました！

スタッフはみんなフレンドリーで説明も丁寧なので、安心してツアーに参加することができました。小学生の子供も嬉しそうにずっとシュノーケリングを楽しんでいました。また次のハワイでも参加させていただきたいです。

It was a bus that went to the Ala Moana Shopping Center from various hotels, and it turned out to be a bit of a sightseeing tour as well. Since it was a bus that you could ride if you had a JCB card, I would have preferred a different bus.

いろんなホテルによってアラモアナショッピングセンターに行くバスでしたが、ちょっとした観光にもなりました♪。ＪＣＢカードを持っていれば乗れたバスでしたので違うバスが良かったです。

We couldn't make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, and we wanted to snorkel with a group of 13. I thought we would bring our own fins and shoes, but instead, we had to leave our shoes in a basket outside the boat and go in barefoot. We were able to borrow fins and goggles. My mother waited on the boat. In August during Obon, the sun was strong and there was no place to hide, so I think it's good to have towels or something. The wind was strong enough to blow away hats. We were the only Japanese people there, and everything was in English, so we struggled a bit, but a kind female staff member helped us in Japanese using her smartphone. I didn't realize that drinks were free after snorkeling, so the person who was informed was able to drink. There was a menu, and they made beautiful cocktails for us.

ハナウマ湾の予約が取れず、シュノーケルやりたいと13人で予約。フィンとか靴は持っていくものだと思ったら、逆に船の外のカゴに靴は置いて行って裸足で入らなきゃいけませんでした。フィンやゴーグルは借りられました。母は船の上で待ってました。8月のお盆は、日差しが強く隠れるとこがなかったのでタオルとかあると良いと思います。帽子は飛ばされるような風です。日本人は私達だけで、全部英語だったので苦労しましたが，優しい女性スタッフがスマホで日本語で教えてくれました。シュノーケル後は一杯無料ということが分からなかったので教えてもらった人は飲めました。メニューもあって綺麗なカクテルを作ってもらっていました。

Fishing on a boat was my first experience, and it was incredibly fun!
In the clear waters of Oahu, I was able to interact with many fish.
From the boat, I had a wonderful view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head.
I caught two fish, but some skilled anglers caught 6 to 7.
Unfortunately, there were no dolphins, but on the way back, I encountered a sea turtle!
I think it depends on the weather, but the boat sways quite a bit, so those who are sensitive should definitely take motion sickness medication.

船での釣りは初めての体験でしたが、最高に楽しかったです！
オアフ島の透き通った海の中で、沢山の魚と触れあうことができました。
また、船上からはワイキキの街並みとダイヤモンドヘッドを一望することができ、とても素敵でした。
私の釣果は2匹でしたが、上手な方は6〜7匹釣れていました。
残念ながらイルカはいませんでしたが、帰り際にウミガメと遭遇しました！
天候によるとは思いますが、船はかなり揺れますので、弱い方は酔い止め必須だと思います。

Overall, the evaluation is high.
There are staff at the reception who speak Japanese, and even if you go with just a swimsuit, everything you need is provided by the school.
Before the lesson, they explain through a video, and before entering the sea, they use actual boards to teach you how to ride the waves, so I think even beginners can enjoy it.
Although it was a bit tough for me, who lacks stamina, as I was sometimes rushed by the instructor while resting, surfing while looking at the beautiful streets of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was the best!

全体的に総合評価は高いです。
受付には日本語が話せるスタッフがいて、水着のみで手ぶらで行っても必要なものは全てスクール側で用意してくれます。
レッスン前に動画説明、海に入る前にも実際のボードを使用して波の乗り方をレクチャーしてくれるので初心者でも楽しめると思います。
疲れて休んでいても講師に急かされたりして体力のない自分には少しきつかったですが、ワイキキビーチの綺麗な街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらのサーフィンは最高でした！

Four groups board the motorboat at the same time and take turns flying. While waiting on the boat, you endure the rocking and enjoy the view. During the parasailing, it's an otherworldly experience! The view is great and the wind is nice. However, depending on your physical condition, you might feel dizzy even during the aerial stroll.

4組同時にモーターボートに乗船して順番に飛びます。船で待っている間は船ね揺れに耐え見学です。バラセーリング中は異次元体験です❗️眺めよし風よしです。が、体調によっては空中散歩でも酔うみたいです。

The meal was at the buffet restaurant of Hyatt Regency, and I was satisfied with the variety and taste of the dishes. It was great to see the show up close. The hula was wonderful. However, since it was in native English, I couldn't understand the small talk, which might have reduced the enjoyment a bit.

食事はハイアットリージェンシーのレストランビュッフェで、料理の種類、味も満足です。ショーも間近で見られ良かったです。フラはすばらしい。
ただ、ネィティブ英語なので、ショートークは分からず面白さ半減かも。

It was fun...
A continuous thrill and excitement. The time flew by in an instant.
Next year, I will take my grandchildren with me.

楽しくて・・・・・
ハラハラ・ドキドキの連続。あっという間の時間でした。
来年度は、孫たちも連れて行きます。
