All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I could handle the 150 meters. But it was definitely more comfortable up in the sky than on the boat! I thought I might be scared at such a height, but it was totally fine. Once I got up there, it was stable, and I was amazed by the grandeur of the scenery. However, I was a bit nervous about changing my position, so I held onto the harness tightly and couldn't take many photos. I'm really glad I had the experience!

最初は、150m、どうしよう、耐えられるかな？と不安でしたが、空の上の方がボートの上より断然快適でした！
高いところで怖いかも？なんて思ってましたが、全然大丈夫でした。
上に上がってしまえば安定して、景色の雄大さに感動です。
ただ、やはり自分の体制を変えることに不安があり、ハーネスをしっかり握っていたので、写真はたくさんは撮れませんでした。
本当に体験できてよかったです！

The meeting place and the harbor weren't very windy, but at the actual activity location, it was quite windy and there were waves, so a few participants experienced seasickness. Fortunately, the crew was kind and helpful. The parasailing itself was pleasant, and we had a great view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, which was quite nice.

集合場所や港の中はそんなに風が強く無かったのですが、実際のアクティビティ場所は風が強く波も有ったので船酔いする参加者が数人居ました。
幸いクルーの方が親切だったので助かりました。
パラセーリング自体は気持ち良く、ワイキキの浜辺やダイヤモンドヘッドも良く見えなかなか良かったです。

This was my second time watching Rock-A-Hula, and the content had been updated since my last visit, making it feel fresh even for repeat visitors! The part that incorporated the world of the movie "Moana" really energized the entire venue, and it was especially impressive to see the joy on the children's faces.

Additionally, since I was seated close to the center front, I was able to see the performers' expressions and subtle movements up close. The fire dance was particularly breathtaking, with the heat and warmth of the flames creating an incredible atmosphere. The sense of realism was so strong that I could even see the performers sweating, making me feel fully immersed in the world of the show.

The buffet I enjoyed before the show was also highly satisfying, with a wide variety of dishes that made the dining experience enjoyable. There were whole pineapples on the tables, and when opened, they revealed cut pineapple inside! It was a rare opportunity to enjoy pineapple in such a grand way, adding to the special Hawaiian experience.

Moreover, the hula lesson held in the buffet area was memorable. The audience was able to participate together, creating a wonderful sense of unity and excitement throughout the venue. The atmosphere was very welcoming for beginners, allowing everyone to enjoy a Hawaiian vibe even before the show started.

Located in the heart of Waikiki, it's also appealing that many hotels are within walking distance. This makes it easy to join after sightseeing or shopping, allowing for an efficient way to enjoy within a limited travel schedule. It's the perfect entertainment for a Hawaiian night, combining a show, dining, and interactive experiences. I highly recommend this show for family trips!

2回目のRock-A-Hula鑑賞でしたが、前回とはまた内容が更新されており、リピーターでも新鮮な気持ちで楽しめました！映画『Moana』の世界観を取り入れたパートでは会場全体が盛り上がっており、特に会場にいた子どもたちが喜んでいたのが印象的でした。

また、今回は中央前方の席だったこともあり、ステージとの距離が非常に近く、演者の表情や細かな動きまでしっかり見ることができました。特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻で、炎の熱気や温かさが伝わってくるほどの迫力。演者の汗まで見えるほど臨場感があり、ショーの世界に入り込んだような没入感を味わえました。

ショー前に利用したビュッフェも満足度が高く、料理の種類が豊富で、食事の時間からしっかり楽しめました。テーブルには丸ごとのパイナップルが置かれており、開けると中にはカットされたパイナップルが！普段なかなかできないくらい豪快にパイナップルを味わうことができ、ハワイらしい特別感を感じられました。

また、ビュッフェ会場で行われたフラレッスンも印象的でした。観客も一緒に参加できるスタイルで、会場全体が自然と一つになって盛り上がっていたのがとても良かったです。フラ初心者も気軽に参加しやすい雰囲気で、ショーが始まる前からハワイらしい時間を楽しむことができました。

ワイキキ中心部に位置しているため、多くのホテルから徒歩でアクセスできるのも魅力のひとつです。観光やショッピングの後にも参加しやすく、限られた旅行時間の中でも効率よく楽しめると感じました。ショー・食事・参加型体験をまとめて楽しめる、ハワイの夜にぴったりのエンターテインメントです。家族旅行にもぜひおすすめしたいショーです！

It was supposed to be a straight-forward excursion... pick us up, drop us off, pick us up again. However, our driver (unfortunately, I did not get his name) was such a hoot!!! At 5am, he had an energy and attitude that made everyone in the bus a little bit happier The pickup was quick and efficient. The driver made every stop an occasion.

It was an amazing tour ...the staff is super friendly and the small group mad it so privat ....we had just a wonderful time

I have experienced this cruise four times with my kids, including the second one, and the view of Waikiki from the sea is amazing! The crew is friendly and kind! You can have the best experience at a reasonable price.

このクルーズはⅡも含めて4回子供達と体験していますが、海側からのワイキキの景観が素晴らしい👍クルーもフレンドリーで親切！
リーズナブルに最高の経験ができます。

Although the ticket price is not cheap, it was a stage worth paying for. The performers' physical abilities were astonishing, and the stage composition continually heightened the audience's expectations leading up to the finale. It wasn't just a show to watch; it was a stage that invited the audience to participate and create memories together, making it perfect for creating the best memories in Hawaii.

チケット代は安くは無いものの、その値段を払う価値のあるステージだった。
パフォーマーの身体能力には驚きの連続で、ステージ構成も観客の期待値をラストに向けてどんどん強くさせるものだった。
ただ見るだけでなく、観客をステージに招いて一緒に舞台を作るなど、ハワイでの最高の記憶作りにもってこいの舞台だった。

I had no problems at all and used the Pink Line comfortably around Waikiki. However, once you go a bit further out, the bus stops can be very hard to find. Without the Lealea mark and with some discrepancies on the map, I felt quite anxious waiting, unsure if I was at the right stop.

ワイキキ周辺やピンクラインも利用出来るので全く問題なく快適に利用しました。
ちょっと郊外に行くとバス停が非常にわかりにくい。
レアレアのマークがないのと地図と若干違いもあり待っていても合っているのか非常に不安でした

Food was very good and the service was great. Not a traditional beach Luau but still worth while.

Thank you very much for today.
I was supposed to join the Diamond Head hiking tour the day before, but… various things happened 😭
However, today I was guided by Ryota, and I made up for what I missed yesterday 💞
It was incredibly fun!!
As a senior who can't speak English, I was relieved to have the guidance in Japanese, which really boosted my spirits 👍
I'm glad I asked Ryota for help.
The only regret I have is that I forgot to take a picture with the handsome Ryota… 💧

本日はありがとう御座いました
前日、ダイヤモンド・ヘッド登山ツアーに参加するはずが…いろいろありまして😭
でも今日Ryotaさんに案内してもらい、昨日の分取り戻しました💞
サイコーに楽しかった!!
英語ができないシニアなので、日本語での案内ホッとしてテンションが上がりました👍
Ryotaさんにお願いして良かったです
心残りは、イケメンなRyotaさんと写真を撮るの忘れたこと…💧

The hula dance was wonderful. It was just like Michael Jackson, and I even got to see the moonwalk, which was amazing. The fire dance was also spectacular, making it a very enjoyable show.

フラダンスが素敵でした。マイケルジャクソンがそっくりで、ムーンウォークまで見られて最高でした。ファイヤーダンスも豪快でとても楽しいショーでした。

Beware! Poor communication and NOT a sunrise tour as stated

This was sold as a sunrise at Diamond Head which turns out NOT ACCURATE AT  ALL! Diamond Head doesn’t even open until 6:00 and sunrise was 6:11 that day. By the time the van was parked it was 6:06. So obviously we did not make it to the top or even to a look out point to view the sunrise. We did get some pretty pictures BUT it was not sunrise by far. Even the pick up location was a rough start and poor, poor communication.  The instructions to 5:15 a.m pick up were at Hyatt Regency and the address. That’s it, that’s all the information that was given. So, we show up, we’re waiting and waiting then the driver calls and ask if we’re coming. Jon told him we’re here where we standing and he said no they’re on the side of the building. We go to the side of the building, which turns out to be a side road. Which looks like a shady looking road for deliveries and the van is parked behind the dumpster, picture attached. Now image this side street, van parked behind the dumpster at 5:00 a.m in the dark.
After the hike we returned at 7:31. Now pick up was at 7:30 and we did show up 1 minute late at  7:31 and the van was gone. Again, we’re waiting and looking. After a few minutes Jon calls. Thankfully we had the phone number from when he called us that morning or we would’ve had no clue what to do. Turns out THEY HAD LEFT! The driver tells us to wait there that he will turn around to come get us. When I questioned the driver about leaving us he said “Julie told you to be back at 7:30” to which I explained  we were back at 7:31 and called you at 7:33. He said I was coming back. I questioned again, “how were we to know that? All we knew was that our tour had left us. You could’ve called like you did this morning but instead you just drove off. “ He was never able to give a reason for just driving off or not even calling. He just kept saying, you were told to be back at 7:30.  My advice DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR WITH THIS

Unfortunately, the weather on the day was not great, and with the wind during the ride, it was quite cold. Most of the Japanese people who were with me seemed to be shivering and staying still. However, the staff were very good at getting everyone excited, engaging with us all, and they quickly brought us more drinks, which made the experience enjoyable.

A person from another country who happened to be sitting next to me took a lot of pictures of us, which became a nice memory. The selection of lively music and the snacks they handed out in the second half were also great. The views of Waikiki Beach and the surrounding area from the ocean side, as well as the sunset and night scenery, were very beautiful. I think it would have been truly perfect if it had been warm!

当日あいにくの天気だったため、走行中は＋風もあるのでかなり寒かった。
乗り合わせた日本人の大半が震えてじっとしている感じでした。
ただスタッフの方が非常に盛り上げ上手で満遍なく声かけてくれ、
お酒もすぐにおかわりを持ってきてくれて楽しませてくれてありがたかったです！
たまたま隣に居合わせた他国の方が、自分たちの写真をたくさん撮ってくれたのも
良い思い出になりました。
盛り上がる音楽の選曲や、後半スナックを配ってくれるのも◎
普段見ることのない海側からみるワイキキビーチ周辺の景色や
サンセットや夜景もとても綺麗でした。これで暖かかったら本当に最高だと思う。

The staff was very kind. I was late for the entry time due to a prior commitment, but when I explained the situation and consulted with them, they responded flexibly, and I was able to participate without any issues.

The performance afterward was truly wonderful, and I had a very enjoyable time. I highly recommend it!

スタッフの方がとても親切でした。
前の予定の関係で入場時間に遅れてしまったのですが、事情を説明して相談したところ、柔軟に対応してくださり、無事に参加することができました。

その後のパフォーマンスも本当に素晴らしく、とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ぜひおすすめしたいです！

We participated with our two children and my husband. Although my English is limited, we were able to communicate and had a great time! The crew members were friendly and cheerful. My daughters, who were initially nervous and scared, ended up having the best smiles and enjoying themselves once we started, and they requested to do it again! We created precious memories during our family trip to Hawaii. After returning to the port, we were able to purchase the photo data, and even though it was a Lightning type for iPhone, the data transfer was smooth, and we received a copy SD card, so we could see the images right away, which was wonderful. Thank you very much!

子供二人と私たち夫婦での参加でした。
英語も片言ですがコミュニケーションできて
楽しかったです！クルーの皆さんも気さくで明るい方たちでした。緊張した面持ちで初めは怖がっていた娘たちも、スタートしたら最高の笑顔で楽しんでおり、またやりたい！とリクエストしていました。家族のハワイ旅行で大切な思い出が増えました。港に帰港後に写真データも購入でき、iPhoneのライトニングタイプですがデータ移行もスムーズでコピーSDカードも貰えてすぐに画像を見れたのも嬉しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The meals were plentiful and delicious 😊. The shows featuring Elvis, Michael, and the fire performance were all great. I was also happy to take photos with the cast after the show. It became a wonderful memory of my trip to Hawaii.

食事はボリュームたっぷりで美味しかったです😊ショーはエルビス・マイケル・ファイヤーパフォーマンスといずれも良かっです。ショーの後、キャスト達との写真撮影も嬉しかったです。いいハワイ旅行の思い出になりました。

The show lasted about an hour and a half, but during that time, I didn't get bored at all; I thought it was genuinely fun. The food was all-you-can-eat, so there was plenty of it. I think the taste suits Japanese people as well. Japanese guests were in the minority, though...

ショーは、1時間半くらいでしたが、その間飽きたりせず、普通に(純粋に)楽しいと思います。食事は、食べほなので量は十分あります。味も日本人にも合っていると思います。日本人客は、少数派ですね…

The food to the show it was outstanding Hyatt Regency knows how to do it

I attended the Waikiki Luau Hawaiian Show! ✨ Since I had a VIP seat, I was very close to the stage and could see the dancers' powerful performances and expressions clearly, which made me very satisfied. The fire dance was particularly amazing and left the biggest impression on me during the show. The spins and the intensity of the performance exceeded my expectations, and the entire venue was buzzing with excitement.

The buffet didn't have an overwhelming variety, but each dish was delicious, especially the whole roasted pig, which was very tasty.

Additionally, the layout required us to pass between seats to reach the exit, and there were times when people sitting on the aisle were unaware and remained seated comfortably, making it a bit difficult to get through.

Overall, the staff was courteous, and I felt at ease enjoying my first Hawaiian show. Experiencing Hawaiian music and dance up close made for a wonderful time that will be a memorable part of my trip. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to fully enjoy the Hawaiian atmosphere in Waikiki! 🌺

ワイキキルアウ ハワイアンショーに参加してきました！✨
VIP席だったのでステージがとても近く、ダンサーさんの迫力や表情までしっかり見えて大満足でした。特にファイヤーダンスが本当にすごくて、今回のショーで1番印象に残りました🔥 回転やパフォーマンスの迫力が想像以上で、会場全体も大盛り上がりでした。

ビュッフェは品数が多いという感じではないですが、その分ひとつひとつが美味しく、特に丸ごと豚のローストがとても美味しかったです。

また、席と席の間を通らないと出口に出られない構造になっているのですが、通路側にいても気づかずにゆったり座ったままの方もいて、通りづらいタイミングがあったのは少し気になりました。

全体的にはスタッフの対応も丁寧で、初めてのハワイアンショーでも安心して楽しめました。ハワイらしい音楽やダンスを間近で体験できて、旅行の思い出に残る素敵な時間になりました。ワイキキでハワイ気分を満喫したい方におすすめです🌺

Everyone I met locally was praising it. Since this was my sixth time, including trips to Japan and abroad, I wasn't as moved as others, but considering the weather wasn't great, I still felt it was worth going. I think it would be better to include such fun activities at night, not just hula and fire dancing.

現地で知り合った人達のすべてが、絶賛してました。
私は日本や海外を含めて6度目でしたので、そこまでの感動はありませんでしたが、
天候に恵まれなかったことも含め、行って良かったと思いました。
フラとファイヤーダンスだけで無く、こんな楽しみも夜に入れたほうが良いとは思います

It was a very impressive and worthwhile show, just as the reviews said. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. I think the seats in the front and back offer a good view of the whole performance since the venue is quite small. It was completely full, showing how popular it is. I was seated to the side, so my neck got tired.

口コミ通り迫力のある見応えのあるとても良いショーでした。ぜひ一度は見る価値ありますね。前方後ろのほうが全体がよく見えていい席だと思います。会場はこじんまりしているので。満席でした。スゴイ人気なんですね。私は横前だったので首が疲れました。

The 5:00 AM pickup made it easy to reach the trail before the crowds and heat, and the sunrise views from the summit were absolutely worth the early wake-up with rewarding panoramic views of Waikiki and the coastline at the top.

The Waikiki Trolley Hop-On Hop-Off Tour was a very convenient and enjoyable way to explore Honolulu and the surrounding areas at our own pace.

We saw colorful tropical fish, coral reefs, shipwrecks, and sunken airplanes!

The buffet and the traditional hula and luau show were amazing. I went alone, so I was a bit worried at first, but everyone sitting next to me was Japanese, and we enjoyed the meal while watching the show together. It was a really great night!

ビュッフェと伝統的なフラとルアウのショーでは最高でした
一人で行ったから、最初はちょっと心配してましたが
隣に座っていた方は全員日本の方で一緒にショーを見ながら、食事を楽しんでました
凄くいい夜でした！

The atmosphere was nice and I had a great time! It was a bit disappointing that I couldn't see the performers from my seat. The food was average...

雰囲気が良く楽しめました！
演奏者が見える席ではなかったので、少し残念でした。
お料理は、普通です…

It feels like there are fewer flights compared to before COVID, but it's convenient for shopping, and just being on the ride is enjoyable. I would like to use it again when I go to Hawaii.

コロナ前と比べると便数は少ない気もするけれど、買い物に行くのも便利だし、ただ乗っているだけでも楽しい。
ハワイに行ったらまた利用したい。

The buffet food was delicious, and after going around once, I was completely full and very satisfied, including the desserts. The hula on stage was wonderful, and the intensity of the fire dance was especially impressive. I felt that the power of the fire dance increased even more with multiple performers.

ビュッフェの料理はどれも美味しく、デザートも含め一周したらお腹いっぱいで大満足でした。
ステージのフラも素敵でとくにファイヤーダンスの迫力は凄かったです。複数人でのファイヤーダンスだとさらに迫力が増すなと感じました。

I think some people might worry about seasickness, but perhaps because I was enjoying the distant scenery, I was completely fine. The crew was friendly and kept us entertained.

船酔いを気にする方がいると思いますが、遠くの景色を楽しんでいたためか、私はまったく大丈夫でした。クルーもフレンドリーで楽しませてくれます。

The boat on the way there was quite rocky, but the submarine was steady and very beautiful. Since we went on the day of arrival, I got a bit sleepy along the way, but it was fun!

行きの船がかなり揺れたけど潜水艦は揺れもなくとても綺麗でした。到着日に行ったので途中眠くなったけど楽しかったです！
