All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

My daughter (13 years old) and I went parasailing together. Since my daughter was about to start her monthly cycle, we made an early morning reservation (8:00) two days after arriving in Hawaii. It was so much fun that we were laughing the whole time. The experience lasted about six and a half minutes, which was longer than I expected, and that was great. Up in the air, it was incredibly quiet, and we could see Diamond Head very well. I think early morning is better since it might be hot during the day. We also got photos for $30, which I plan to use for our New Year's cards. I enjoy high places and roller coasters, but I didn't feel nauseous at all while on the boat or parasailing.

娘(13歳)と2人でパラセイリングしました。娘が月に一度の女の子の日が来そうだったので、ハワイ到着後に早朝予約(8:00)で前々日に予約取れました。楽しすぎて、ずーっと笑いっぱなしでした。開始から終了までは6分半位で思っていたより長くてよかったです。上空では、凄く静かでダイヤモンドヘッドもよくみえました。多分昼間の時間帯は暑いので早朝がいいと思います。写真($30)もSDでもらい年賀状に使おうと思います。高い所、ジェットコースターも好きな方ですが、ボートもパラセイリングも酔う様な感じでは無かったです。

We participated in this cruise as the start of my cousin's bachelor party and boy what a great way to start it out! The catamaran was so cool, there was plenty of room for everyone, the staff was helpful and very friendly, and the views were breathtaking. We even saw a sea turtle at the end! The staff made it so fun and made some pretty good drinks to boot. The appetizers were not great, but that is not why we were on the cruise. It was a relaxing and easy cruise right off the pier and around Diamond Head. The sunset views were beautiful. I would highly recommend taking a sunset Waikiki Sail on the Spirit of Aloha.

At first, I thought it would be scary, but once I tried it, it was not scary at all, and the view was really beautiful! I was partially submerged in the sea, which was also very fun and became a great memory! The staff entertained us with various conversations!

最初はこわいと思っていたけれど飛んでみたら全然怖くなくて景色もとてもキレイでした‼
海に少し沈められました。それもとても面白くていい思い出になりました❗スタッフさんはいろいろな喋りで楽しませてくれました❗

I had a very enjoyable experience.
The staff were friendly, and it was fine even though I couldn't speak Japanese.

My daughter and I signed up for 120 meters, while the other family signed up for 150 meters, but when we got there, it didn't seem to matter at all; we were all launched.

It was fun.
I want to do it again.

とても楽しい経験ができました。
スタッフの人も気さくで、日本語通じなくても平気でした。

娘と私は120メートルで、他の家族は150メートルで申し込みましたが、行ってみるとそんなこと全然関係ない感じで、飛ばされます。

楽しかったです。
またやりたいです。

We had a wonderful time. Staff was great! Would do it again!

There were about 20 participants, mostly Westerners, along with my family and another group of Japanese people. The staff was friendly, and Mai Tais, beer, and soft drinks were all-you-can-drink. Initially, only those who wanted a Mai Tai raised their hands, and they were served accordingly. After that, those who wanted juice could request it themselves. Instead of moving sideways near the Diamond Head, we stopped the engine and sailed straight out to sea using only the power of the sails. If you sit on the right side during the ride, you can enjoy the view of Diamond Head on the way out and the sunset on the way back, which I highly recommend.

Those who ordered alcoholic drinks like Mai Tais put about $5 in the tip box when disembarking. They also took a commemorative photo with the yacht when boarding, which you can purchase for $20 if you like. I bought it as a keepsake, and it became a wonderful memory! The boarding point is at the beach near the Sheraton's Halekulani. It's a bit hard to find, so please be careful. It's a white yacht.

日本人は私たち家族ともう一組であとは欧米人ばかり２０人ほど参加していました。
スタッフもフレンドリーでマイタイやビール、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題。最初にマイタイ希望者のみ手を挙げ人数分サーブされ、その後にジュースなどの希望者は自分でリクエストします。ダイヤモンドベッド近くに横に進むというよりエンジンを止めてかなりの沖合までビーチに垂直に帆の力だけで進みます。乗船は右側に座ると行きはダイヤモンドベッド、帰りはサンセットを眺めれるのでオススメです。
マイタイ等アルコールを注文した人達は降りる時に5ドルほどチップを箱の中に入れていました。乗船時にヨットと記念撮影してくれ気に入れば20ドルで購入出来ます。
記念に購入しましたが良い思い出になりました！乗船はシェラトンのハレクラニ側のビーチです。わかりづらいので気をつけてください。白いヨットです。

I was looking forward to the meal before the show based on the reviews, but it was disappointing. ⤵ The seating during the show was good and easy to see, but the development of the one-hour show was lacking and I got bored.

ショーの前の食事のクチコミを読んで期待していましたがそれ程ではではなくがっかり⤵
ショータイムも席は見やすく良い席でしたが1時間程のショーの展開がイマイチであきてしまいます。

The staff was friendly. The weather was nice too, which helped create great memories flying with my kids. I don't think it's something we can do often, but we had a wonderful time talking about places like Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head with the kids.

スタッフが感じよかった。天気もよかったせいもありますが子供と飛んでいい思い出ができました。何度も翔ようなものではないと思いますが、ワイキキビーチ・ダイアモンドヘッドなど、子供とあそこがどーのとか話しながらいい時間がすごせました。

I made a reservation thinking I would swim with dolphins that are accustomed to being fed and cared for by humans, but it was completely different. We entered the vast ocean where dolphins live naturally, and to avoid stressing them, we observed them while swimming at the surface. It was truly moving. Seeing the cute dolphins swimming gracefully underwater somehow brightened my heart and made me feel happy! I highly recommend it! After that, we also encountered a group of giant turtles, which was very healing!

飼育され餌付けされた人間に慣れているイルカと泳ぐのかなあ？くらいの気持ちで予約したのですが、全然違って、全くの自然に生息しているイルカさんたちの大海原にお邪魔して、水中を泳ぐイルカさんたちにストレスをかけないように、人間は水面を泳ぎなら観察するというスタイルで、とても感動しました。海中をスイスイ泳いでいるイルカさんたちのかわいい姿、見たら不思議と、心が明るくなってハッピイになれますよ～お勧めです❗この後、巨大亀さんの群れにも遭遇、癒されました～❗

It is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. There is a ticket counter where you can give your name and receive your tickets.

You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are smoothies and other options, and since the air conditioning is a bit strong, it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket.

We happened to have seats in the center, but I think you can still enjoy it even from the side seats, as Mr. Presley might come to you as well.

ロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあります。
チケット売り場があるので名前をいい、チケットを受け取ります。

ドリンクはアルコールとノンアルコールが選べます。
スムージーとそうでないものがあり、少し空調が効いているので薄手の上着を持っていくといいかもしれません。

私達はたまたまセンターの席でしたが、端の席でもプレスリーさんが来てくれたりするので充分楽しめると思います。

I participated at the request of my elementary school child. The best part was getting to see the turtles. There were also photos for sale, which were expensive, but I bought one because it turned out well. Additionally, it was nice that the pressure inside the submarine was constant, so my ears didn't hurt.

小学生の子供の希望で、参加しました。亀に会えたのが1番嬉しかったです。写真の販売もあり、高いですが写りが良く購入しました。また、潜水艦の中は気圧が一定で耳が痛くならなかったのが良かったです。

Absolutely unreal! Worth every penny. Great music, great crew, just beautiful. Get ready to get splashed!

Next time I would take an anti nausea capsule as it was a little choppy heading out.

We had a great time on the boat with our two kids and baby. They lived seeing the fish and turtles through the glass. The captain and his mate were very friendly. We would do this again!

We participated as a couple. We were the only Japanese people there. The explanation was only in English, but it was sufficient. The snorkeling lasted about 30 minutes, which was enough for us. The yacht ride afterwards was very refreshing with the splashes of water. Riding on the yacht became a great memory. The captain was really cool. It departs from Waikiki and returns in the morning, so I recommend it.

夫婦2人で参加しました。
日本人は私達だけでした。説明は英語だけでしたが、それなりに？
シュノーケリングは30分位でしたが、私達には十分でした。
そのあとのヨットは波しぶきをあげて、とても気持ち良かったです。
ヨットに乗れたことがいい思い出になりました。すごくかっこいいキャプテンでした。
ワイキキから出発で午前には帰るのでおすすめです。

I participated in a different tour this time. At first, the English explanation was hard to understand, and I was really worried if I would be able to ride. However, I was able to ride from the first time. Since I had my first experience two years ago, I wonder if my body remembered it? I was able to fully enjoy the time until the end, and since it takes time to get to the waves, there was no need to wait even with a large group; the group lesson was more than enough.

前回と違うツアーに参加しました。最初英語の説明でわかりにくく本当に乗れるのかな？と不安でしたが１回目から乗れました。二年前に初めて経験していたので体も覚えていたのかな？あとは時間まで十分に満喫できました、波のところまで行くのに時間もかかるので大勢でも待つことはなくグループレッスンで十分ですよ。

The arrangements were smooth. The pickup after arrival was also seamless, making it a great value and very convenient. I will definitely use this service again next time.

手配までもスムーズです。到着後もスムーズに送迎してもらえるので料金もお得で大変便利でした。次回もまた利用させて頂きます。

There were only Asians and mostly Westerners, but it was fun! I thought there would be soft drinks, but it seems there were only alcoholic beverages.

アジア人は自分たちだけで、あとは欧米の人たちばかりでしたけど楽しかったです！
ドリンクはソフトドリンクがあるかと思いましたけどお酒が入ったドリンクしかなかったようです。

This was a tour I had heard about from an acquaintance and absolutely wanted to try. It may seem simple to paddle out with a canoe and ride the waves back, but it’s incredibly fun. It takes about 30 minutes, so it's a great way to make some good memories when you have a little free time. I highly recommend it!

これは知り合いから聞いていて絶対やりたいと思っていたツアーでした。
カヌーで沖までこいで波に乗って帰ってくる単純に思えますが最高に楽しいです。
時間にして３０分くらいなのでちょっと時間が空いた時に参加すると良い思い出になりますよ。
おすすめです！

Even though it was our family's first time, we were kindly taught. My wife, who usually doesn't exercise, still had a good experience. It's something you can't easily experience in Japan, so I recommend it.

家族初めてでも親切に教えてもらえました。普段運動をしない妻でもなんとか良い体験になりました。日本だとなかなか体験できませんのでお勧めです。

Had a blast. Crew is awesome and very helpful. Would definitely use this company again.

Saw this performance with my teen age daughter. It was a great show and we both enjoyed it. It was a fun night out in Waikiki. The dancers are the best part in my opinion. Elvis has strong vocals. Good band too. Excellent stage show - very entertaining. The food was great - my steak was cooked perfectly. Beautiful presentation. Even my picky daughter liked the food and tried the lobster. We had great seats - center stage up front. Everyone was very welcoming and the wait staff attentive. The drinks are quite tasty and pretty potent. We did the VIP package and the welcome mai tai was delicious. I'm glad we went.

The photos are very beautiful, and I was able to fully enjoy the sea and sky of Hawaii. However, since the sea can be a bit rough, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

お写真もとっても綺麗でハワイの海と空を堪能できました。ただ海が少し荒いので酔い止めを飲むことをお勧めします。

At the strong request of my 6-year-old daughter, I participated with my 9-year-old son.

There weren't many places that allowed parasailing for 6-year-olds, so we signed up here where it was possible for ages 5 and up.

Since it was my first time parasailing as well, I felt a bit anxious about experiencing it with my daughter, who was right at the age limit.

Together, we didn't even weigh 70 kilograms, and I wondered if we might get blown away if the wind picked up.

However...

My daughter was completely unafraid and smiled the whole time. She was so excited, saying it was like a swing and so much fun!

Since it was our first time, we challenged ourselves to 90 meters, but because the water was below, I didn't feel the height much at all and wasn't scared at all.

She enjoyed jumping into the sea, exclaiming how cold it was!

Now she wants to try an even higher parasailing next time.

My 9-year-old son is not fond of heights, so he watched from the boat, but thankfully, he didn't feel any seasickness, possibly thanks to the motion sickness medication he took just in case. He seemed to really enjoy just being out on the boat with the refreshing wind.

When we boarded, there were three other groups with us, but we were the only Asians.

However, everyone came together, blasting music and enjoying it in true American style, which was great.

The staff were also entertaining and very kind to the children.

If we have the chance again, we would love to come back here!

6歳の娘のたっての希望で9歳の息子と参加しました。

他のところでは6歳でパラセーリングができるところはあまりなかったので、5歳以上可能とのこちらで申し込みました。

私自身もパラセーリング初体験だったので、体験する前は年齢制限ギリギリの娘と一緒にパラセーリングを体験する事に少し不安もありました。

体重も二人合わせて70キロもないし、風がふいたら飛ばされちゃうんじゃないかなー、と。

しかし、、、、

娘は全く怖がらず、終始笑顔。
ブランコみたいで楽しいー！！と大興奮でした。

初めてだったので90メートルに挑戦したのですが、下が海なので、高さもあまり感じず、全く怖くなかったです。

定番の海にお尻ポチャもつめたーいっ！と言いながらとっても楽しんでいました。

今度はもっと高いパラセーリングに挑戦したいそうです。

9歳の息子は高いところが苦手なので、ボートで見学だったのですが、心配していた船酔いも、念のために服用した酔い止めが効いていたのか全くなく、ボートで沖に出るだけでも、風が気持ちよく、とても楽しかったようです。

私たちが乗船した時は他に3組の方々がいらっしゃったのですが、アジア人は私たちだけ。

しかしみんなが一体となり、音楽をガンガンかけ、アメリカのノリで楽しめたのも良かったです。

スタッフの方も面白く、子供たちにとっても優しかったです。

また機会があったら、こちらでお願いします！！

Expected the glass to be under our feet but we had to get up and look through box, it was ok

Beautiful sights along the waters! Enjoyed every second on the boat. Met some pretty cool people from around the world and had an awesome time just relaxing and taking in the views while having some drinks...aloha

Awesome crew!!! Made our boat ride enjoyable and our experience that much more exciting.

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii. We were the only Japanese people there, and since we could only communicate in English, I only understood bits and pieces of what was being said, but it was fun even at 120 meters! In fact, there was no confirmation of how many meters we were going, so even if I paid for the 150-meter option, I might not have been able to tell the difference. I bought the photos for $30! Don't forget that tips are also necessary.

Hawaiiでは初めてのパラセーリング。
日本人は私たちだけで英語でしか通じないため、話してる内容はなんとなくしかわかりませんでしたが、120mでも楽しかったです！むしろ、何メートルですって確認はなかったので、150mの料金を払っても体感ではわからないかも。写真は30ドルで買いました！チップも必要ですので、忘れずに。

It was a fun show that I would like to attend again. However, while they did their best, the singing ability of each performer didn't quite match the real thing, and since I was imagining the originals, I felt a bit unsatisfied. Video recording was not allowed, but taking photos was okay.

また行きたいと思う楽しいショーでした。ただ頑張っておられましたが各歌手の歌唱力がさすがに本物に及ばず、本物をイメージして鑑賞しているだけに少し物足りなさを感じてしまいました。動画はダメですが写真撮影はオッケーでした

We participated as a family of three, including our 10-year-old daughter. It was our first experience, but there were friendly staff members who spoke Japanese, so we felt at ease enjoying the sky walk. While moving by boat, we were able to see sea turtles, and there was an option to have photos taken on an SD card for $30. Since our family wanted to ride together, we requested the photo service. After returning home and checking the card, we found about 80 beautiful pictures, including the scenery, and we were glad we made the request. Among the optional activities on this trip, it was the most enjoyable and affordable, so next time, I want to challenge the 150m option. I highly recommend this tour; you'll want to give a tip!

娘10歳を含めて家族三人で参加しまた。初体験でしたが日本語も話せる親切なスタックもいて安心して空の散歩を楽しむ事が出来ました。ボートで移動中にウミガメを見せて貰ったり、30ドルでSDカードに写真を撮って貰えるオプションが有ったので私達家族は三人同時に乗る為、撮影をお願いしました。帰国してカードを確認しましたが景色も含め、綺麗に80枚程入っておりお願いして良かったです。今回の旅行のオプショナルの中で安価なのに一番楽しかったので、次回は150mにチャレンジしたい思ってます。チップを渡したくなるおすすめツアーですよ。

It was fun and we had a good time. However, the boat ride was not good and we got really sick due to extreme motion. We were so afraid to throw up on the boat or when we were up in the sky!
