All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Jenny was very patient and kind with my 10 year old who had anxiety. This was a good beginner snorkel lesson!

Since I hadn't booked many activities for this trip, I asked a local acquaintance for recommendations, and they mentioned that Cirque du Soleil, which just opened last year, is very popular. Although I hesitated a bit due to the cost, I decided to seize the opportunity and booked the best seats. From start to finish, this was the first show that truly engaged and entertained the audience. Most importantly, seeing the children leaning forward, their eyes sparkling, and sometimes bursting into laughter made me feel that the price was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it!

今回の旅行ではあまりアクティビティを予約していなかったので現地で知り合いの方にお勧めを伺ったところ、シルクドソレイユは去年できたばかりでとても人気とのことで少し金銭面で迷いはありましたが、せっかくの機会なので1番いい席を予約しました。初めから最後まで、こんなにも観客を巻き込んで楽しませてくれるショーは初めてです。何より子供達が身体を乗り出し、目をキラキラさせ時には声をあげて爆笑している姿を見て、この金額は惜しくないと本心からそう思えました。お勧めです！

The crew explained things to me in broken Japanese, which made me feel at ease while flying. Even while waiting in line on the boat, they entertained us in various ways, easing our fears and making it a truly enjoyable experience.
Challenging myself at a height of 150m, the view from the top of Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, and the deep blue ocean was incredibly beautiful!

クルーの方が片言の日本語で説明してくれたから安心して飛ぶ事が出来ました。
船上で順番待ちしている時も色々楽しませてくれて恐怖心も和らげてくれ本当に楽しませてもらいました。
高さ１５０mに挑戦
頂点からのワイキキビール、ダイヤモンドベッドそして真っ青な海がめっちゃ綺麗〜

It was a day of sightseeing, but it really flew by. The freshly fried masala was incredibly delicious! The garlic shrimp was also tasty, and I was moved to see the sea turtles! Above all, the guide was very kind and funny, and I'm glad I participated.

1日の観光でしたが、本当にあっという間に終わりました。揚げたてのマサラダはめちゃくちゃ美味しい！ガーリックシュリンプも美味しくて、ウミガメも見れて感動でした！
なんと言ってもガイドさんがとっても優しく、面白くて、参加して良かったです。

This was my second time, following last year, and since I was familiar with the meeting place and the content, I enjoyed it as I expected. I went with my first grader, a second-year middle schooler, and my grandparents who are over 75, and I think it’s a suitable activity for both children and older adults. It seems that they group Japanese participants together. Last time was in the morning, so this time I chose a time just before noon when the scenery was nice, but the cobalt blue sea was still intimidating (150m). Last time, perhaps because my children were small, there wasn’t the usual pattern of dipping into the sea before going down, but this time that happened, and I was submerged more than I expected. My grandparents were submerged even more. So, those holding cameras need to be careful.

昨年に引き続き2回目で、集合場所も内容も把握していたので思った通り楽しめました。
小1、中2、75才を超えた祖父母とのぞみましたが、子どもにもご年配の方にもちょうどよいアクティビティだと思います。
どうやらこちらは、日本人は日本人のグループでまとめてくれるようです。
前回は朝だったので、今回は景色の良いお昼前を選んだのですが、コバルトブルーの海が相変わらず怖かったです(150m)
前回は子どもが小さいと思ったからか、降りる前に一回海にジャブンとつけるお決まりのパターンはなかったのですが、今回はそれがあり、思った以上に沈められました。
祖父母はさらに沈められていました。
なのでカメラを手に持つ方は注意が必要です。

I was in the fourth row, and it was very powerful and overwhelming. It was fun to energize the venue, and I thought I would like to see it in various countries.

前から4列目でとても迫力もあり、圧倒されました。会場を盛り上げる楽しさもあり、色んな国でも観たいと思いました。

I had an amazing time! They took a ton of great photos, and it became a wonderful memory! The people driving the boat and those who handled the photo data were very friendly and approachable. Thank you!

めっちゃ楽しかったです！
写真もすんごい沢山撮ってくれて、良い想い出になりました！
船を運転してる方達も写真データ受け渡しの方もとても気さくでフレンドリーで良い方達でした。
ありがとうございました！

I saw a certain idol enjoying this canoe in Hawaii, so I decided to try it out. As a result, riding the waves is so much fun!! Surfing and bodyboarding are difficult, but with this canoe, it's easy to experience. I was able to ride the waves three times.

某アイドルがハワイでこのカヌーを楽しんでいたので、体験してみました。
結果、波に乗るって楽しい！！
サーフィンやボディボードは難しいけど、このカヌーなら手軽に体験可能。
3回波に乗ることができました。

I've seen various silk shows, and the first thing I thought upon entering was that it was a small venue. I initially thought it might be a bit cramped, but once the show started, it was incredibly powerful and I was very satisfied. The production made the most of the space, and it was truly wonderful. I'm really glad I attended.

シルクのショーは色々見てますが、入場して最初に思ったのは、狭い会場だなと。こじんまりしたものなのかなと思ってしまいましたが、ショーが始まったら大迫力で大満足でした。
スペースを最大限に活かした演出は、本当に素晴らしかった。本当に観て良かったです。

The weather was nice, and the view of the sea, sky, and Diamond Head was amazing. The boat rocked quite a bit, but I enjoyed it as if I were cruising. I recommend the 150-meter option, as it lasts significantly longer.

お天気も良く、海と空とダイヤモンドヘッドの見晴らし最高でした。ボートはかなり揺れますが、クルージングをしてる気分で楽しめました。150メートルの方が、かなり時間も長くおすすめです。

I participated with my middle school son and my mother. There were four groups including us, consisting of people from European, African, and Hispanic backgrounds. The guide spoke only in English, but there weren't many explanations, so it was manageable as we took turns putting on our belts to fly!

Other points to note and things to be careful about:

- As many have mentioned, motion sickness medication is a must. There was one person on my boat who ended up feeling seasick.
- Although the meeting time is set for 30 minutes before, only the Japanese participants really adhered to it (laughs). I think arriving 10 minutes early would probably be fine!
- It seems that photo taking is optional. They will ask you on the boat, so make sure not to miss that if you want photos!
- Some people mentioned that the photo fee of $40 is cash only, but I was able to pay by card.
- After the flight, you can check the photos at the reception, and they will quickly transfer them to your phone and also provide an SD card (for iPhone users).
- The belt goes around your waist and you put your feet through it, but there was someone whose belt slipped down to their knees while flying, causing them to be in a position that was not seated but rather leaning back. It was quite nerve-wracking to watch. The crew does not check the belts during the flight, so it's best to confirm it yourself!

That's all. During the flight, I had a great conversation with my son about the pleasant wind and the blue sea at high altitudes, which became a wonderful memory. It’s a bit pricey, but I’m glad we participated. Priceless!

中学生の息子と母の二人で参加しました。
私たちと、欧米系、アフリカ系、ヒスパニック系の4組で参加。ガイドは英語オンリー。ですが、特に英語でもそんなに説明なく、ベルトを順につけて飛ぶのでなんとかなります！

それ以外の気づいた点や気をつけるべきこと。

・皆さん書いてますが酔い止め必須。私の船も1人だけ、最後は船酔いされてました。
・30分前集合、となっているが、ちゃんと守ったのは日本人だけ(笑) 10分前でも多分大丈夫です！
・写真撮影は希望制みたいです。船の上で聞かれるので、撮ってもらいたい方はそれを聞き逃さないよう！
・写真代40$は現金のみと書かれている方もいますが、カードで払えました。
・写真は降りた後に受付のところで確認の上、線を携帯につないで一瞬で取り込んでくれます＆SDもくれます(iPhoneの場合)。
・ベルトは足を通して腰で締めますが、足(お尻)の部分のベルトが下に落ちたまま(膝の方に近い位置のまま)飛んでしまった方がいて、その方だけ座る体勢ではなく、後ろ重心で寝るような格好になってしまい、見ているこちらがずっとハラハラしました。飛ぶ際にクルーの方はベルトの確認などしてくれませんので、しっかり自分で確認した方がいいです！

以上。
飛んでいる間に高いところで息子と風の気持ちよさや海の青さなど会話したこと、いい思い出になりました。
ちょっとお高いけど、参加してよかったです。プライスレス‼︎

It was an entertaining show that kept my eyes glued from start to finish. I think you can enjoy it fully regardless of where you sit, even if you don't understand the language.

最初から最後まで目が離せないエンターテイメントショーでした。
言葉がわからなくても席がどこでも充分に楽しめると思います。

We went out on a very windy day, which did not do anyone any favors. Lots of sick tourists! But that could not be helped as the captain doesn't control the weather. The fishing was awesome! Every person caught a person, and the crew fileted one for us to take home. Lots of varieties of fish to be caught, and were caught.

小学1、3年の子供と体験しました。
2人とも最初は怖がっていましたが、最終的にはすごく楽しんで、またやりたいと言っていました。

係員の人も、とても雰囲気よくて、盛り上がりました。パラセーリング前の船でのクルージングも気持ちよかったです。
また体験したいと思います。

The restaurant is on the second floor, and the seating has a terrace-like openness, plus all the dishes were delicious. The staff greeted us with smiles, which felt great. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese, making the payment process smooth.

お店は2階で、席はテラスの様な開放感があり、さらにお料理はどれも美味しくて良かったです。
スタッフは、笑顔で接してくれ気持ち良かったです。日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、お会計もスムーズに済ませる事ができました。

I went parasailing for the first time. I usually don't get motion sickness, but while waiting for others to finish parasailing, I felt really nauseous. Since we were the first ones to go, it didn't affect the parasailing itself, but I definitely got quite sick. Both of the staff members spoke English, and they could speak a little Japanese as well.

初めてパラセールをしました。
普段乗り物酔いはしない方ですが、他の方のパラセールを待っている間にめちゃくちゃ酔いました。私たちが1番初めにやったので、パラセール自体に支障はなかったものの、しっかり酔ってしまいました。
スタッフの方は2人とも英語でしたが、少しだけ日本語も話せていました。

It was my first time at Cirque du Soleil, and I'm glad I went. The prices vary significantly depending on the seats, but I still enjoyed it from the seats in the back.

初めてのシルクドゥソレイユでしたが、行って良かったです。
席によって値段がかなり違いますが、後ろの方の席でも楽しめました。

I went to see it with my 6-year-old son, and he was engaged the whole time, allowing us to enjoy it together.

Each performance was wonderful, and I would love to go see it again if I have the chance.

6歳の息子と観に行きましたが、子供も飽きる事なく観てくれ一緒に楽しめました。

各演目それぞれが素晴らしく、また機会があれば観に行きたいです。

They put a lei around my neck and took photos for me! After a delicious meal, the hula show started, and I really felt like I was in Hawaii. I was taught a simple hula dance and was able to participate as well. It became a wonderful memory.

レイを首にかけてくれて、写真も撮ってくれました！！
美味しい食事の後、フラショーが始まり「ああ、ハワイに来たんだな～」と実感しました。
簡単なフラダンスを教えていただき参加もさせて頂きました。
とても良い思い出になりました。

The magician has a wonderful personality and entertains everyone. It's fun to see the magic up close. It would be even better if there were non-alcoholic cocktails available.

マジシャンがすごくよい人柄で、みんなを楽しませていただきます。間近でマジックをみると楽しいですね。ノンアルコールカクテルがあるともっと最高です。

Totally recommend you do it. Yes hard work but worth it at the end.

It was helpful to have a departure point within walking distance from Hilton Hawaiian Village.
The swimming spot had a strong current, and I was overwhelmed with fear until I got used to it.
I was able to borrow a life vest from the boat (there was also a type that wraps around the waist).
When I tried to enter the water with a snorkel on, the staff told me it was not allowed.
I was struggling to enjoy myself in the strong current of the sea, but then other guests started putting on snorkels, and by the end, everyone was wearing them... it's still a mystery to me.

Once we got back on the boat, it was DJ time. The older guests from overseas were enjoying themselves with drinks in hand, but it seemed that my elderly Japanese parents couldn't enjoy it.

ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジから徒歩で行ける出発場所で助かった。
遊泳スポットは流れが早く、慣れるまでは恐怖心が勝った。
ライフベストは船のものを借りられた（腰に巻くタイプもあった）
シュノーケルを着けて入水しようとしたらスタッフに駄目と言われ。
流れのきつい海の中で楽しみもなく困っていたら、他の客がシュノーケルを付け始めて、最後にはみんな付けていて、、、今でも謎です。

船に上がってからはDJタイム、海外の方はご年配もお酒片手にノリノリで楽しんでいたが。
普通の日本人の高齢両親には楽しめなかったようです。

I was not good with heights or screaming, but I didn't feel any sense of falling and was able to enjoy the stunning views. There were no Japanese participants or guides, but it wasn't a problem at all. The photo option was a bit pricey at $40, but I ordered it as a keepsake (I received it on an SD card, so I haven't checked the content yet). Considering that we did it together just once, I don't think the price is that high! It was amazing!

絶叫や高所が苦手でしたが、落ちる感覚は全くなく絶景を楽しめました。
参加者、ガイドには日本人はいなかったですが困ることはなかったです。
写真のオプションは40ドルと少し高めでしたが記念に残るので頼みました。(SDカードで受け取るのでまだ内容確認できていません)
一緒に一度と考えたら値段はそんなに高くないと思います！最高でした！

I was able to see a total of three turtles! I think it's definitely a spot where you can see them. The guide was a foreigner, and when I participated, there were no Japanese participants, so I was a bit anxious, but there was nothing to worry about. I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication, as I experienced seasickness and nausea from the waves.

合計で3匹のカメを見ることができました！
多分スポット的には絶対見られるポイントなのだと思います。
ガイドさんは外人で私が参加した時は日本人の参加者はいなかったので少し不安でしたが、困るようなことはなかったです。
船酔いと波酔いをしたので酔い止めは飲んでおくといいと思います。

We had a blast with these experienced folks on the boat! They made sure we were safe and had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone who wants some fun in the sun on a boat!

It was my first time overseas and my first parasailing experience, so I was anxious, but the kind support made it enjoyable from start to finish!

はじめての海外で初パラセーリングだったので、不安でしたが最後まで親切な対応で最初から最後まで楽しめました！

We watched from the center seat in the 9th row. Luckily, there were no other audience members on either side of us, so it felt like a couple's seat. Various performances unfold along the history of Hawaii. The stage isn't very large, but the performers also come out into the aisles, creating a dynamic experience that utilizes the entire theater. There were hilarious moments that involved audience participation, such as throwing large balloons into the crowd, and before we knew it, time flew by. Since it has just started, I recommend it to both first-timers and those who are familiar with Hawaii.

9列目のど真ん中のシートで鑑賞　ラッキーなことに我々夫婦の両側とも観客が居なかったのでカップルシートの様でした
ハワイの歴史に沿って様々なパフォーマンスが繰り広げられます　ステージは大きくありませんがパフォーマンスはステージ上と通路にも演者が出てきて劇場全体を使いながらダイナミックな演出でした　また観客を巻き込んだ爆笑のステージや大きな風船を客席に投げ込むなど観客とのコミュニケーションもしっかりあり　あっという間に時間が経ってしまいました
まだ始まって間が無いとのことですのでハワイが初めての方もそうで無い方にもお勧めします

The parasailing was included for free. We went around Waikiki and headed to Ala Moana Shopping Center. From the second-floor seats, it was wonderful to enjoy the pleasant breeze while looking at the beach and the canals. The friendly and lively talk from the driver was also enjoyable. Mahalo!

パラセーリングのOPに無料でついてきました
ワイキキを1周しながらアラモアナショッピングセンターへ　2階席から心地良い風にあたりながらビーチや運河を眺められて最高でした
運転者のフレンドリーで軽快なトークも楽しかったです　マハロ

I have participated in the Kailua Diamond Head Tour and the Magic Island Waterfront Tour with friends, family, and my spouse, and each time there are surprises and discoveries. I join these tours every time I go to Hawaii. This time, the meeting location was a bit hard to find, so I was glad to take an Uber from Waikiki. I hope the Kailua Tour will resume next year.

ハワイ島での体験を含めカイルア　ダイアモンドヘッドツアー　マジックアイランドウォターウォターフロントツアー　友達とも家族とも夫婦でも参加してますが　毎回驚きと間道が有りHAWAIIに行く度に参加してます
今回集後場所がちょっと分かりにくかったので　waikikiからUberで行って良かった
来年カイルアツアーが再開されるといいな

The Diamond Head hike was absolutely unforgettable—a perfect blend of adventure and breathtaking views. The tour was smooth and hassle-free from start to finish, thanks to our awesome bus driver, Moko, who brought the perfect mix of local knowledge and good vibes. He made everything easy, from pick-up to drop-off, setting the tone for a brilliant morning. Reaching the summit and taking in the panoramic views of Waikiki was the ultimate reward—definitely a highlight of the trip
