All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Had a good time- definitely recommend. Crew were fun and drinks were good!

We participated as a couple in our 50s along with our son. Besides us, there were a family of three and two honeymoon couples. Since it was mentioned in the comments, we decided to challenge the 150m! It was incredibly fun and felt great. We had a wonderful experience. The shuttle car was clean, and our driver, Mr. Yano, was cheerful and entertaining. The boat was also clean, and the crew was lively and made it a fantastic time. Our son and his partner even got playfully splashed, which became a great memory of the trip. We definitely want to participate again! ^ ^

50代夫婦&息子カップルで参加しました。私たちの他には3人連れの親子さん、ハネムーンカップル2組が一緒でした。コメにもあったので、折角なので150mに挑戦！最高に楽しかったです。そして気持ちよかった。良い体験をしました。送迎の車も綺麗で運転手の『やのさん』明るく楽しませてくれました。ボートも綺麗でクルーも明るく盛り上げて下さりステキな時間でした。
息子カップルもワザとお尻をドボンされて、これも旅の良い想い出になったようです。
また是非参加したいです^ ^

I felt a bit anxious because I had to wait a few minutes after checking in. However, the person who assisted me was a foreigner, but very kind and even taught me a little Japanese, so I was able to get on the ride right away! I had plenty of fun by myself!

最初受付をしてから何分か待たされたので少し不安になりました。ですが、教えてくれる方は外国の方ですが、とても優しく少し日本語でも教えてくれて一発目で乗れました！一人で十分楽しめました！

Overall the whole experience was great. Loved how everyone very involved and interacting with the audience. Loved the setup of how they lead us from one place to the next and drinks were amazing. Also loved how Elvis came to up to my baby. This was definitely my top experience in Hawaii this week. I felt as if I was in a movie because everyone was so friendly and we’re treating us all so nicely. The involvement of the employees from the dinner to the show was amazing on how they were involved The Who way through. I’m happy this was one of the first things we did on our list because it made the trip start of very good.

It was great that the hotel we were staying at was close to the meeting point, so we could go without a shuttle! By the way, it's a hotel within Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. The instructor spoke broken Japanese, but their friendly personality made it enjoyable! With the early morning plan and discounts available, I think it's quite a good deal since you can make the most of your day.

泊まってるホテルが集合場所に近かったので、送迎なしで行けたのも、良かったです！ちなみにヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ内のホテルですが、歩いても5分もかからないです。インストラクターの人もカタコトの日本語ですが、楽しませようとする人柄も良かったです！早朝プランで、割引きも有り、1日をフルに使えるので、かなりお得かと思います。

My first parasailing experience! The staff were locals and explained everything in English, which made me a bit anxious, but they kindly guided us even though we couldn't speak English, so there were no issues! The time spent in the air was longer than I expected and very comfortable! If you have a GoPro or similar device, I highly recommend bringing it! I only had my phone, so I had to leave it behind, but a Japanese couple who participated with us kindly took some photos of me from below with my phone! I have the stunning views etched in my memory, but I do regret not being able to capture the scenery from above in photos!

初のパラセーリング！
スタッフの方は現地の方で説明は全て英語で少し不安もありましたが、英語が話せない私たちにも優しく誘導してくださり問題なかったです！
空にいる時間は思ったよりも長く非常に快適でした！ゴープロなど持ってる方はぜひ持っていった方が良いです！私は携帯のみしかなかったので携帯は置いていくことになり、たまたま一緒に参加した日本人夫婦の方が私の携帯で下からの写真を少し撮って下さいました！
絶景は目に焼き付けましたが、上からの景色を写真におさめたかったなぁとそこだけ後悔です！

We participated with eight people.
Michael was a bit on the heavier side with a bit of a belly, which disappointed everyone, but Elvis was perfect in both singing and appearance!!!
After the show, he took pictures and signed autographs, and everyone was thrilled.
Definitely give it a try at least once!

８人で参加しました
マイケルはちょっと太めでお腹出てて みんながっかりだったけど
エルビスは歌も容姿もバッチリ！！！
ショー終了後に、写真撮ってくれたりサイン書いてくれたりと喜んでました
是非一度は体験下さい！

Had a great time. Crew were very friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Laughed learned and had a wonderful time with my entire family.

The fireworks on Friday night in Waikiki were amazing! The captain and the staff were kind, and I had a great time. I want to go again.

ワイキキの金曜日の夜の花火最高でした！船長さんもスタッフさんも親切で楽しい時を過ごせました。また行きたいです。

From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

The lesson method is somewhat forceful for beginners. We understand English, but it seems the instructor found it tedious to explain, as they rushed through without much explanation, insisting we learn by doing. I signed up hoping to create wonderful memories with a long-time friend, but since it was at the beach and there was only one instructor, I can't say I felt completely at ease. The session was also shorter than the time stated in the materials. The rash guard felt like just a T-shirt, and it became somewhat heavy when wet. It's strange that there are only positive reviews, perhaps due to the Japanese tendency. While we were able to ride the waves, I have to rate it lower for the peace of mind aspect. We hope for a safe and comfortable trip.

初心者にはやや強引なレッスン方法。
私たちは英語がわかるけどインストラクターの方は説明するのが面倒くさいのか、あまり説明すらなく体で覚えろとばかりにどんどん進んでいきます。今回は長い付き合いの友人と最高の思い出作りにと思い申し込みましたが、海だしインストラクターが一人しかついて居らっしゃらないので安心して出来たかと言えば…。資料に乗っていた時間より短かったですし。
ラッシュガードもただのTシャツ？という感じで水を含むとやや重いです。
日本人の性格なのか、良い口コミしかないのが不思議です。
波には乗れたけど、安心面として評価は低めに設定させて頂きます。
私たちは安心で快適な旅を希望します。

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I decided to try learning how to surf. The board is big and heavy, which makes it stable, and I was able to stand up after just a few tries. You just go straight, but the beach is shallow, so even when you go out, you can stand up, and while paddling, the board's fins and your hands can touch the coral reef. So, you need to be careful of injuries when you fall. They lend you surf shoes at the school, but be cautious about everything else. However, this year in Hawaii is cold, and the water is chilly—hypothermia? After about an hour in the water, I started to shiver.

せっかくハワイに来るのだから、サーフィンを覚えようと行ってみました。
でかくて重いボードなので、安定していて数回で立てるようになります。まっすぐ進むだけですけど、現場のビーチは遠浅で沖に出ても、立てますしパドリング中ボードのフィンや手が珊瑚礁に触れます。ですのでひっくりかえったときは怪我に注意が必要です。足はサーフシューズをスクールで貸してくれますが、その他は気をつけましょう。ただ今年のハワイは寒い、水も冷たい、低体温症？　一時間ほど浸かっていると震えてきました。

We participated as a pair, and there were only two groups of participants, including us, which made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The guide and the other guests were foreigners who couldn't speak Japanese, but it was no problem as long as they understood simple English. With fewer people, it felt like we could take our time during the main parasailing activity. It was high and scary, but I felt like we were flying for quite a long time. If I have the chance to go during the off-season, I would love to go again.

2人で参加しましたが、参加者が私たちを含め2組しかおらずのんびり楽しかったです。
ガイドさんももう一組のお客さんも外国人で日本語が喋れない人たちでしたが、簡単な英語がわかれば全然問題ありません。
人が少ない分、メインのパラセイリングものんびり出来ていたような気がします。高くて怖かったけど、結構長時間飛べていた気がします。
オフシーズンにいくことがあれば、また行ってみたいです。

The boat I wanted to take was canceled due to maintenance, and I made a last-minute reservation without much expectation. However, being close to the water and feeling the pleasant sea breeze while watching Waikiki transform from day to night was really wonderful. The casual style allowed us to sit at the front of the boat and relax. We could see the happy Friday fireworks from the front, making it feel like we had them all to ourselves. Drinks were unlimited, and the crew promptly checked on us when our drinks ran low and made more for us. The food was delicious too. They brought desserts around to the guests, and everyone was really nice. Although I'm not very good at English, there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. I usually don't get motion sickness in cars or boats, but I was a bit worried about seasickness when we headed out. Surprisingly, it didn't sway much even while docked. I felt the price was a bit high when I signed up, but it was totally worth it. It was the best experience!

乗りたい船がメンテナンスでキャンセルになり、ぎりぎりで予約して期待してなかったのですが、海面が近くて、海風が心地よくワイキキの町を日が沈み夜景に変化していく姿もとっても良かったです。ラフなスタイルのため船の前の方に座ってのんびりできます。happy　Fridayの花火他の船より前で見ることができます。花火独り占めな感じです。飲み物も飲み放題でした。船員さんも飲み物なくなるとすぐ聞いてくれて作ってくれます。食べ物もおいしかったです。デザートを船のあちこちにいるお客さんの所に持ってきてくれてとってもいい人達でした。英語得意ではないですが日本語できるスタッフいるので安心でした。普段車酔いや船酔いなどしない方ですが、沖に出るため船酔いを気にしましたが停泊中も意外と揺れなかったです。お値段は少し高いかなーと感じて申し込みましたが全然良かったです。最高でした。

I booked this show because I wanted to see and experience hula while on a trip to Hawaii with three friends who dance hula in Japan. I was excited and nervous to see the hula experience and dance even before the show started. The buffet meal had plenty of meat dishes, and I could have eaten even more. I never felt like there wasn't enough food. The ice cream for dessert was incredibly delicious. The show after the meal featured a bit of hula, but it was enjoyable from start to finish without getting bored. I'm not very good at English, but it was fun even if I didn't understand everything. My friends who went with me said they would recommend seeing this show when they go to Hawaii, so I highly recommend it!

日本でフラをしている友達3人でのハワイ旅行で、現地のフラを見たり体験したりしたくてこのショーを申し込みました。ショー見る前からフラ体験やフラダンスを見れたりしてわくわくドキドキでした。食事もバイキングでしたが、お肉系がたっぷりあってもっと食べたかったぐらいです。足りない事はない感じでした。デザートのアイスが最高においしく感じました。食事の後のショーもフラは少しでしたが、最初から最後まで飽きずに見ることができて楽しかったです。英語が得意ではないですがわからなくても楽しいです。一緒に行った友達もハワイ行くときは「このショー見るのを薦める」と言うほどで、とてもお薦めです。

I participated on the night of my arrival in Hawaii. The Royal Hawaiian Center is located on the fourth floor, right in the center of Waikiki, making it very accessible, so I was able to get there without a shuttle. I arrived a bit early, but check-in had already started. After check-in, I was guided to my seat and offered a Mai Tai. There were two types available: alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Shortly after, a whole roasted pig was presented, and the buffet began. There was a lot to choose from, including salad, bread, white fish, pork, chicken, and roast beef, and I was completely full after one plate. The sweet potatoes were particularly delicious, tasting like baked sweet potatoes. For dessert, there were chocolate cake, cookies, ice cream, and coffee, which left me satisfied. After the meal, we moved to the venue, where we were greeted by a Michael Jackson impersonator. It was a bit surprising, and I felt a little nervous. The show was in the second-floor seating area, but even from there, I could see everything clearly and had a great time. There were hula dances, fire dances, and impersonators of Elvis and Michael Jackson, and the venue was buzzing with excitement. The fire dance was so intense it was almost scary. The Michael Jackson impersonator looked so much like him, and his dancing was perfect. Elvis came down to the audience, giving leis and scarves to the guests and kissing them on the cheek. It was thrilling to see them up close. Since there isn't much time during the day of arrival, I recommend taking a nap after checking into the hotel to prevent jet lag and participating in this evening option. It was truly fun!

ハワイ到着日の夜に参加しました。ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの４階でワイキキの中心にありとても行きやすい場所なので送迎がなくても行けました。少し早めに到着しましたが受け付けが始まっていました。受け付けが終わると席に案内してくれてマイタイを提供してくれました。アルコールとノンアルコールの二種類がありました。少しすると豚の丸焼きが登場しバイキングがスタートしました。サラダ、パン、白身魚、豚、チキン、ローストビーフとたくさんありワンプレートでお腹いっぱいになりました。特にいもが焼き芋みたいで美味しかったです。デザートもチョコケーキ、クッキー、アイス、コーヒーなどがあり満足でした。食事の後移動して会場へ入るといきなりマイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんがお出迎えしてくれました。急にいたので少々緊張しました。ショーは２階席でした。けど２階席でも全然見えるしすごく楽しめました。フラダンスやファイヤーダンス、それにプレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんが出演されていて会場は大盛り上がりでした。ファイヤーダンスは怖いくらい迫力満点です。マイケル・ジャクソンは本物かと思うくらい似ていたし踊りも完璧でした。プレスリーは会場に降りてきてくれて会場のお客さんにレイやマフラーをプレゼントして頬にキスしていました。すごく近くで見れるので大興奮です。到着日の昼間はあまり時間がないので時差ぼけ予防にホテルチェックイン後お昼寝をしてこの夜のオプションに参加する事をおすすめします。本当に楽しかったです！

I experienced the 120m. Even as someone with acrophobia, I had no issues being over the ocean. The staff were friendly and kind. I think it's a memorable activity. I recommend it.

120mを体験しました。高所恐怖症の私でも海の上だと問題ありませんでした。スタッフの方々も気さくに親切にしてくれます。記憶に残るアクティビティだと思います。お勧めです

My first paddleboarding experience, I’m 60 and my wife is trying it for the first time. There was a brief lecture, but experience is what matters most. We had a lesson just for the two of us from a teacher who spoke broken Japanese, and then we headed out to the sea.

It was quite challenging to maintain balance. Even when I finally managed to stand, it was difficult to paddle and move forward. Surprisingly, my wife was able to stand up quite easily. I’m glad we had a kind teacher.

はじめてのパドルボード、私は60.妻は初めてのボード体験。簡単なレクチャーはありましたがとにかく経験が大事。カタコトの日本語の先生から二人だけでレッスンを受けて海へ。
なかなかバランスが難しい。やっとスタンド出来てもパドルで漕いで進むのが難しい。
妻は意外と簡単にスタンドアップ出来ました。
優しい先生で良かった。

The whole experience was fantastic...from the crew who were extremely helpful to the accommodations. Boat was new, not overcrowded. Ride went from the harbor to Diamond head. Saw turtles, fish and even a pod of dolphins. Captain provided good information. Definately recommend.

It was disappointing that the instructor who was in charge seemed to favor my beautiful friend. My friend also noticed this and mentioned that the treatment felt unnatural. Even though it was my first time, for some reason, my friend was leading while I was left stranded in the middle of the ocean, being told to make my way back on my own, which made me anxious several times. ^^ There were also many photos of my friend. Since the service was inconsistent, I’m giving it a lower rating. I do not recommend it.

担当してくださった講師の先生は美人な友人に贔屓めだったのが残念。友人もそれには気付いていたようで対応が不自然だと言っていました。初めてなのになぜか友人だけリードして私だけ海の真ん中に取り残されて自力で来いと言われて不安になった事が何度も^^;写真も友人が多かったです。対応にムラがあるので星は少なめ。お勧めはしません。

The personnel were attentive to the needs of their clients. Check in was a breeze.
Sailing on this catamaran was an enjoyable time, along with good drinks and a great view!
The skipper and bartender/2nd hand were very friendly, entertaining and are very competent sailors. I would recommend this activity to anyone who likes to sail and want to see a portion of the island from a different perspective, this ride is for you! I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Excellent crew made sure everyone was comfortable and also made sure everyone got to snorkel with the turtles.
Had a great time especially for the price it was a great value

While enjoying a Mai Tai, we slowly went sailing. There were more foreign participants than Japanese, and the atmosphere and vibe were truly American. If the weather is favorable, it will be the best sunset cruise, but even with a bit of cloud cover, the colors of the sky gradually changed, which was quite moving. Since you board directly from the beach barefoot, it's best to wear clothes that can get wet, and depending on the weather, I think a light jacket is necessary.

マイタイを飲みながら、ゆっくりとセーリングしていきます。
日本人より外国人の参加が多く、雰囲気、乗りは、まさにアメリカンです。
天気に恵まれれば最高なサンセットクルーズとなりますが、少々曇っていても、空の色が徐々に変わっていって、なかなか感動ものでした。
浜辺から裸足で直接乗船するので、濡れてもよい恰好で、天気によっては寒いので羽織ものは必要かと思います。

It's definitely geared towards tourists, but it's the perfect place to experience the vibe of Hawaii! The dinner buffet is also of very high quality!

がっつり観光客向けですが、ハワイの気分を味わうには最高です！ディナーブッフェもかなりクオリティーが高いです！

Swimming with turtles and sailing with dolphins was amazing! It felt like a great deal for the price. I participated in the morning session, and there were hardly any Japanese people, so it was a deep American tour.

カメと一緒に泳げ、イルカと一緒にセーリング出来て最高でした！
値段の割にかなりお得感があります。
午前中の時間帯に参加したのですが、日本人がほとんどいなくてディープなアメリカンなツアーでした

When I go to Hawaii, I always feel like I have to see this show... I've watched it about 4 to 5 times, but I think the structure wasn't as good as before? It seemed like they focused too much on hula dancing, which diminished the fun of the traditional impersonation show. The person who resembles Elvis, who always performs, is stable, but compared to the impersonators I've seen before like Steven Tyler and Celine Dion, I felt a bit disappointed with the others. However, since different performers come out each time, I think I will go again.

ハワイに行ったら必ず…という感じで、４～５回は観ていますが、構成が今までで一番良くなかったような？
フラダンスを押し出し過ぎて、従来のモノマネショーの楽しさが半減していた気がします。
いつも出ているエルビスに似ている方は安定していますが、他は今まで見たスティーヴン・タイラー、セリーヌ・ディオン等のモノマネの方と比べて、ちょっと残念だった気がしました。
でも毎回出てくる方が違うので、また行くと思いますが。

Although the cloudy weather was disappointing, the staff were delightful and our conversations mixed with Japanese made for a very enjoyable time. Watching others from the boat, I was surprised at how quickly they ascended, but in reality, it was a smooth ascent without feeling any G-forces, which was very pleasant. They kindly took photos with my camera, and I highly recommend this experience. Don't forget to tip!

曇天模様は残念でしたが、スタッフが愉快な人で日本語交じりのおしゃべり、とても楽しいひと時でした。
他の方をボートから見ていると速いスピードで上がっていくのでビックリ、しかし実際はスーと上がっていきＧも感じずとても気持ちよかったです。
持ち込んだカメラで快く写真も撮っていただき、おススメだと思います。くれぐれもチップは忘れずに！

We loved it so much we're going to be booking again for next Friday!

I went surfing for the first time in my life. For a guy nearing his sixties, it was definitely a bit of a tough activity. But it was so much fun!

生まれて初めてサーフィンをしました。還暦近いおじさんにはさすがに少々ハードな遊びです。でも最高に楽しかった！
