All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Neither of us had been paddle boarding before, but by the end of the lesson we were both standing. The safety briefing and instruction was tailored to us and our level of experience which was none. Both Mike and Michelle(hope that's right) were fantastic, just the right amount of cajoling to get us on our feet without any pressure. Talked about every topic known to man as we paddled about, had a great time and a great laugh too. I can highly recommend these guys and the company too as I later booked a surf lesson for the end of the week, which also rocked.

The Holokai beached itself with time to spare and after a quick clean up on board when the previous group departed( the boat, not died), there was a name check and then with footwear secured in boxes to be taken on board, we climbed the steps and got underway. There was the usual safety briefing re life jackets and areas to stand and not stand in, then the bar was open and the cocktails were served - delicious. The sea was a bit choppy but it didn't detract from the awesomeness of sailing, drinking cocktails and watching fireworks - with my wife. It doesn't get any better. The crew were great and I got the feeling that even though we were drinking, they wouldn't allow it get out of hand. Very professional and very enjoyable.

I've never expected such a great things on this because I cancelled other cruise activity (Atlantis) and there were not enough reviews on Holokai Catamaran Sunset cruise. But right now, I strongly recommend this for everyone. I don't know how romantic and luxurious big cruises are, but can say definitely NOT BETTER THAN THIS!! Crews were nice, cruise duration was enough and people were not crowed so that we could enjoy our time & place enough. If I visit Hawaii again, I'll do this again. Thanks for your effort!!

The tour operators were amazing - we made a last minute decision to do a parasail and we were accommodated at the very end of the day.
It was am experience to remember and the view was awesome at the end of a 1000ft line.
Thank you for the memories.

I went to Hawaii for a wedding and did parasailing there. I didn't tell my sister, who came with me, that I had booked the 150-meter course... At first, she was scared, but once she tried it, she was super excited. The time spent in the air was long, and I was very satisfied. There were courses from 90 to 150 meters, but it seems like it's more about the length of the rope rather than the height. The 90-meter course had a shorter time in the air, so if you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery for a longer time, I recommend the 150-meter course.

結婚式でハワイに行き、そこでパラセーリングをやりました。
150なコースを頼んだ事を一緒に行った妹には告げず…最初怯えていた妹も飛んでみると大興奮。
空中での滞在時間も長く大満足でした。90から150のコースまであったのですが、高さとゆうより、ロープの長さ？ですかね。
90のコースの方は空中滞在時間も短かったので、長く綺麗な景色を楽しみたいなら150のコースがお勧めです

I saw that it was okay for a single participant and that it was a first challenge, so I decided to join! I really had a great time with this first experience! The instructor was also kind, and I would like to use this service again.

書き込みに、一人参加、初チャレンジでも大丈夫！とあったので、つられて参加しましたが！ほんとに楽しく初体験できました！インストラクターさんも親切で、また利用したいです

Totally awesome ride...pros on the boat made the whole experience feel very safe & a lot of fun...would do it again & definitely recommend it to anyone who ever wanted to try parasailing...GO FOR IT!

This was my first time attending. I reserved a premium seat. I'm not sure how much of the seating is taken up by the premium seats, but I was guided to the front row on the second floor, directly in front. Therefore, there was nothing to obstruct the show, and I enjoyed it 120%. At the end, Elvis came to our seats and shook hands, which was a fantastic experience as an entertainer.

Additionally, there were authentic performances featuring Gaga, Michael, hula dancing, fire dancing, and more. It was a lot of fun.

初めての観覧です。プレミアシートで予約しました。プレミアシートが席のどの程度を占めているのか分かりませんが、2階の最前列で真正面の位置に案内されました。従って、ショーを遮るものはなく120%楽しめました。ラストの方でエルビスが席まで来て握手をするなど、エンターテナーを満喫しました。
その他、ガガ、マイケル、フラダンス、ファイアーダンス等、本格的なショーでした。
楽しかったです。

The boat had a bar and restrooms, so I thought it might be a large vessel, but it turned out to be a wide open-deck boat! I accidentally came in sneakers, but as mentioned in the instructions, you walk through shallow water to board. Depending on the wave height, you might get wet up to your knees, so I definitely felt that short, easy-to-roll-up clothes and easy-to-remove sandals are necessary. It also seems like having a towel would be good since your feet get wet when disembarking.

They take photos of each group as you board. It seems that you can purchase them if you want one when you disembark.

With a cheerful and handsome captain's greeting, we set sail! After a brief explanation, the crew served us Mai Tais. The boat sways quite a bit when the waves are high, so be careful not to drink too much!

The atmosphere was enhanced by good music and the beautiful views of Waikiki; cruising on the open deck was truly an elegant experience. It was a stunning sunny day, and we were able to see a beautiful sunset. If I have the chance to come back to Hawaii, I would love to repeat this experience!

バーもあってトイレもついて…なので大きい船なのかなぁと思っていたら、オープンデッキの幅広の船でした！うっかりスニーカーで来てしまったんですが、案内に書いてた通りに乗るときは浅瀬を歩きます。波の高さによっては膝くらいまで濡れるときもあるので、丈の短い服が捲れる服、脱ぎやすいサンダルが確かに必要だなぁと感じました。降りるときも足濡れるのでタオルとかあった方が良さそうです。
乗り込む際には１組ずつ写真を撮ってくれます。降りる際に欲しい人は購入できる仕組みになってるようです。
陽気でイケメンキャプテンの挨拶と同時にセーリングは出発！一通りの説明のあとクルーがマイタイを振る舞ってくれます。波が高いと船も結構揺れるので飲み過ぎには注意！
雰囲気の良い音楽と美しいワイキキの景色、オープンデッキでのクルージングはまさに優雅な時間でした。この日は見事な晴天で、美しいサンセットが見れました。またハワイに来る機会があればリピートしたいです!!

When I arrived at the pickup time, the driver immediately noticed me, and we smoothly arrived at the location. The weather was nice, and two cheerful young men explained everything clearly in broken Japanese, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any problems. I bought photos and a DVD on the spot, and they took more pictures than I expected, which made me very satisfied. On the way back, we were in the same car, but the driver instructed a different drop-off point that ended up being the opposite of another group of Japanese tourists. Since I couldn't speak English, I was dropped off at the wrong place and had to walk back to the hotel in my wet swimsuit.

ピックアップの時間に行くとすぐドライバーさんが気付いてくれてすんなり現地へ到着
天気も良くノリの良いお兄さん2人がカタコトの日本語で分かりやすく説明してくれて何も問題なく楽しめました
写真とDVDもその場で買って思った以上にたくさん撮っててくれて満足
帰りの車は同じ車でしたが、ドライバーさんが指示した場所がもう1組の日本人と逆になってしまいました
英語が話せないためそのまま違う所で降ろされて、濡れた水着のまま歩いてホテルまで帰りました

I had a great time on the cruise! I would highly recommend it for anyone who likes to drink! We had a beautiful scenery and the boat was so well maintained! The two gentelman that were in charge of the boat were very hospitable and took great care of us!

This was, by far, the best 50 dollars I spent on my trip to Hawaii. Captain Ryan and Philippe were fun, safe, and on top of customer service!

I asked a friend living in Hawaii if there was a place where families could go to see a Hawaiian show, and they recommended this show!

The first part of the show was quite relaxed. My dad seemed to be wondering when it would really start (laughs). Also, the MC spoke in English, so I think those who don't understand English might not catch what was being said at all...

The seats were perfectly fine even at the cheaper price! However, the seats were quite close to the strangers next to us, making it a bit difficult to move around (´･_･`).

The show itself was really impressive and powerful in the second half. The first part might be a little boring, though.

The buffet had a lot of variety, and as a meat lover, it was fantastic for me! There were also vegetables, fruits, and rolls, so I think even those who aren't fond of American food will find something to eat!

ハワイ在住の知り合いから、家族で行けてハワイアンショーが見れるところはないか？と聞いたところ、このショーを教えてもらいました！
最初のショーが結構ゆったりしていました。父は結構まだかみたいな雰囲気でした（笑）そして、MCは英語なので、英語分からない方は何を言ってるか全然わからないと思います、、
席は安い方でも全然十分でした！ただ隣の見知らぬ人ともかなり席が近くて少し動きずらいです(´･_･`)
ショー自体は後半はすごく迫力のある素晴らしいショーでした。途中までは少し退屈かもしれないですね。
ビュッフェもたくさん種類があり、お肉好きの私にとっては最高でした！野菜やフルーツ、巻物などもあったので、アメリカの御飯苦手な方でも少しは食べるものがあると思います！

My 9-year-old child participated and had a great time. They were able to stand up on the board in just one session and now want to continue surfing. The instructor was a foreigner, so I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand some English. By the way, my child can speak, so it seems they had a lot of fun! They also said the instructor was cool.

子供1人『9歳』が参加して最高だった、一回で立てて今後もサーフィンをやりたいと言っています。先生は外人なのである程度英語が分かった方が面白いのかなと思います。ちなみに子供はしゃべれるのでとっても楽しかったようです！先生もかっこよかったと言っていました。

I participated at the last session at 4 PM as a memory of our honeymoon.

The pickup bus was 7 or 8 minutes late, which made me anxious, but in the end, we were able to enjoy the sky and sea of Waikiki without any issues.

It was my first time parasailing. I was surprised at how quiet it was up in the air. I initially thought there would be a strong wind, but instead, it felt like time had stopped as I leisurely chatted with my wife during our aerial stroll. Just the two of us under the slightly setting Hawaiian sky. I felt so happy.

As part of the experience, there was a moment when we were descending to the boat at the end of the session, and they pretended to drop us into the sea for a second before soaring back up into the air. My wife and I got completely soaked, and the seawater stung our noses, but it became a fun memory. I'm grateful for that.

However, the waves were rough that day, and the boat was rocking a lot. An American man who had been lively on the way there was completely groggy on the way back. If you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must.

新婚旅行の思い出に最終16時に参加しました。

迎えのバスが7、8分遅れて焦りましたが、結果無事にワイキキの空と海を楽しめました。

初パラセイリング。上空は思いのほか静かで驚きました。
当初はもっとバシバシ風が来るものかと思ってましたが、時間が止まったかのような静寂の中、のんびりカミさんと会話しながらの空中散歩。
少し日が傾き始めたハワイの空に2人きり。幸せを感じました。

これはお約束のジョークなのか、体験終了時間が来てボートに降下していく際、一瞬海に落とすフリしてまた上空に舞い上がるという演出が入ります。
我々夫婦はどっぷり頭まで浸かってしまい、海水で鼻がツーンとなりましたが、それも楽しい思い出となりました。感謝です。

ただ、当日は波が荒かったのか、船の揺れがハンパなく、行きのボート上では元気だったアメリカ人のおじさんが帰りには完全グロッキーになっていました。
乗り物に弱い人は酔い止め必須です。

It was great to cruise Waikiki Bay at a reasonable price. I enjoyed cocktails on board and took in the wonderful scenery and breeze. I highly recommend it for first-time visitors to Hawaii!

リーズナブルな価格でワイキキ湾をクルーズできてとてもよかったです。船上でカクテルも堪能でき、素晴らしい景色と風を堪能しました。初めてのハワイにはぜひお勧めします！

There were really only the two of us who were Japanese. We toasted with all-you-can-drink cocktails, took photos, and the sunset was wonderful. This was my fifth time in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied.

本当に日本人は私たち二人だけでした。中途半端な英語ですが飲み放題のカクテルで乾杯して写真を撮ったり、夕景も素晴らしく５度目のハワイですが大満足でした。

Great maitais and wonderful evening to go sailing!!!

Upon reflection, I realized I participated even though I have a fear of heights (laughs). Even at 45 meters, it was thrilling enough. However, the experience of viewing all of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above was exceptional!

I just wish I had known that for an additional $30, I could have had photos taken on the day. I went without that knowledge and only had money for tips... It was difficult to capture my experience with my own camera. So, I give it ★4!

よくよく考えてみたら、高所恐怖症なのに参加してしまいました（笑）
45Mでも、十分スリリングでした。
でも、本当にワイキキ全体と美しい海を上空から眺められる体験は格別でした！

ただ、別途30ドル？当日に払えば、写真を撮ってもらえること知りたかったです・・・。
知らずに行ったので、チップ代しかもっておらず・・・手持ちのカメラでは乗ってる姿を写真に収めるのは困難でした・・・。
なので、★4つ！

Lots of turtles. Staff great.. snorkeling for about 1hour...then cruise on catamaran off the coast of waikiki for another hour.

I had seen it once a few years ago, but I participated this time because I heard the content had been renewed. Unlike last time, it included not only songs but also hula, making the experience fulfilling and enjoyable. After the performance, I was able to take photos with the performers in the lobby, which made for a great keepsake.

何年か前に一度見たことがあったが、内容がリニューアルしたとの事なので参加。
前回と違い歌だけでなくフラ等も取り入れていて、内容が充実しており十分に楽しめた。
終演後のロビーでの出演者との撮影も気軽に取ってもらい、良い記念になった。

I would like to participate again♪

This was my third time joining, and the staff were kind.

I plan to go again in March, so I would like to participate.

また参加したいです♪

今回3回目の参加したのですがスタッフの方も親切でした

3月にまた行くので参加したいと思ってます

At 41 years old, I tried surfing for the first time! I was really anxious about whether I could do it. The instructor was a foreigner, and right after picking me up, they asked if I could speak English, which made me even more nervous... All the explanations on the beach were in English... I honestly wondered if I would be okay.

But thinking "you learn by doing," I took the board and headed to the ocean. I was told that there were good waves suitable for beginners, and somehow, after about three tries, I managed to stand on the board. The instructor only spoke very simple Japanese, like "Paddle!" and "Are you okay?" But they made an effort to communicate using the Japanese I knew and gestures. Also, perhaps due to the tide, when I got separated from the other tour participants, they quickly came to my aid, and at one point, thinking I might be tired, they asked, "Break?" Even though we couldn't communicate in Japanese, I felt their consideration in their responses.

I didn't request a female instructor, so there were two instructors, one male and one female. (There were five participants in total, including me.) It might be tough for those who have a strong aversion to English. However, the instructors were friendly and fun, and I was able to enjoy surfing itself, so I was very satisfied with the experience.

４１歳にして初めてのサーフィン！　できるかどうかとても不安でした。
インストラクターの方も外人で、ピックアップ後すぐに英語が話せるかどうかを聞かれ余計不安に・・・
砂浜で説明を受けるのも全部英語・・・本当に大丈夫か？！と正直思いました。
でも「習うより慣れろ」と思いボードを持って海へ。初心者でものれそうないい波がくると教えてもらえて、私は３回ぐらいでなんとかボードの上に立つことができました。
インストラクターの方は本当にかんたんな日本語しか喋れなかったです。「漕いで！」とか「大丈夫？」とか。でも知ってる日本語やジェスチャーを使ってなんとか伝えようと努力してくださいました。また潮の流れのせいか私が他のツアー客の方とはぐれたときなどはすぐ駆けつけてくださったり、途中私が疲れてると思ったのか「休憩（する）？」と声をかけてくださったり、日本語が通じないながらも気遣いが感じられる対応でした。
私は女性を希望しなかったので、インストラクターは男女の２名でした。（ツアー客は私を含め５人でした）
英語に拒絶反応を示す方には厳しいかもしれません。
でもインストラクターの方は気さくで楽しい人たちでしたし、サーフィンそのものも楽しむことができ、私としてはとても満足のいく内容でした。

I experienced parasailing for the first time in my life! I rarely go to the ocean, but since my friend said it was fun, I really wanted to try some water sports, so I signed up.

The activity itself started with a pickup in front of the hotel, where I signed a waiver during the car ride to the ocean. Once we arrived, we boarded the boat and set off! The time spent in the air flew by, and it was so much fun. They called it a dry landing, but I ended up getting soaked up to my waist at the end. Since it was a water sport, I thought that was okay (laughs). If they hadn't called it a dry landing, I would have been completely drenched!

I read many comments saying that the boat rocks a lot, so it’s better to take motion sickness medication, so I took some before getting in the car. It was raining on the day, and I thought it might be canceled, so I had the hotel front desk call to check, but they said it was sunny at the activity location, so it was on.

It was just my friend and me, and we did parasailing with two Koreans and four Americans. I also noticed that they seemed to think I didn’t understand English, as they occasionally made negative comments (laughs). Well, it wasn't something to worry about too much.

Overall, I would rate the activity as good, and everything else as fair.

人生初のパラセーリングを体験しました！
めったに海に行くこともないのですが、友人が楽しかったと言っていたのでぜひマリンスポーツをしたくて申し込みました。
アクティビティー自体は、ホテル前でピックアップしてくれて、海に行くまでの車で承諾書にサインして、着いたらボートに乗り込んで出発！という流れでした。
空にいる時間はあっという間でとても楽しかったです。ドライランディングといったのですが、最後に腰くらいまで海に浸かりました。せっかくのマリンスポーツですし、それくらいはアリかなと(笑)ドライランディングと言わなければ全身どっぷり浸かってました！

ボートはとても揺れるから酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいという書き込みが多かったので、車に乗ったときに酔い止めを飲んでおきました。
当日は雨が降っていて、中止かなと思ったのでホテルのフロントの方に電話してもらって確認しましたが、実施場所では晴れているからやります、との事でした。
自分と友人２の人で行って、パラセーリングをしたのは韓国人２人とアメリカ人４人でした。
あと気になったのは、こちらが英語がわからないとでも思ったのか、ちょくちょく悪口を言ってました(笑)まぁ、そんなに気にするほどでもないですが。

全体を通して、アクティビティは○、その他は△かなぁと。

I participated in parasailing. Floating while feeling the breeze of Hawaii was incredibly refreshing! The staff was friendly and it was a lot of fun!

パラセイリングに参加しました。
ハワイの風を感じながらの浮遊はとっても爽快でした！
スタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しかったです！

I had a good impression from my previous experience on the Mai Tai Katamaran, so this is my second time. Last time, I took the 11 AM cruise, so this time I chose the sunset option.

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy on the day of the cruise. I was hoping the clouds would clear by sunset, but I ended up missing the sunset I was looking forward to.

However, the Mai Tai served was easy to drink with a light alcohol content, the boat's sway was just right, and there was nice background music playing, so I still enjoyed myself even without the sunset.

I'll save the sunset for next time!

マイタイカタマランには以前に乗船して好印象でしたので、２回目です。
前回は11時の便でしたので、今回はサンセットにしました。

当日は、生憎の曇天となってしまいました。
何とか日没時までには雲が切れてくれないかな、と思っていましたが、
期待していたサンセットは見られずじまいでした。

けど、振舞われたマイタイもアルコール薄めで飲みやすいし、
船揺れも適度ですし、気の利いたBGMも流れていますしで、
サンセットなしでも楽しめました。

サンセットは次回のお楽しみということにします！

This fella was awesome! Not only funny but intelligent and insanely fearless! Loved listening to him and his crew. Very amazing people, ask questions, was a terrific time!!

My first time in Hawaii, and I finally got to try parasailing! I chose this company because they offered free transportation and the option to select a height of 150 meters. Our driver, Yano, was very friendly and wonderful. The conversation was entertaining! We were the last to get out of the car, and they gave us hair accessories and juice as a gift (*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ Thank you!

The parasailing itself was amazing! I'm glad I chose the 150 meters. The weather was great, and I felt so happy! Seeing Hawaii from the sky was refreshing! Even if you're not good at English, you'll manage just fine. The staff were all very kind ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ I paid $30 and also bought an SD card. It was a great memory. Thank you!

初めてのハワイ、ずーっとやってみたかったパラセーリング！無料送迎がついていて、150ｍの高さを選択出来る、こちらの会社にお願いしました。ドライバーのやのさんは、とっても気さくな方で、素敵でした。お話が面白かった！車を下車するのが私達が最後だったのですが、髪飾りとジュースをプレゼントしてくれました(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉありがとうございます。
肝心のパラセーリングも最高でした！150ｍにして良かったです。天気もよく、幸せでした！空から眺めるハワイ、気持ちが良いです！英語が苦手でも何とかなります。スタッフの皆さん、優しいです( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
30＄支払い、SDカードも購入。良い思い出です。
ありがとうございました。

I apologize for the last-minute check-in and the mix-up with the location, but I appreciate your quick response, which allowed us to attend the lesson as scheduled without any issues. Thank you very much!

This was my third time, and it was my companion's first time, so they were a bit nervous at first, but soon we could see smiles, and they were saying how much fun they had!

I truly believe that the experience of looking at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the vast ocean is a precious one!

バタバタとギリギリチェックイン、その上場所も間違えるというご迷惑をおかけしましたが、迅速に対応して頂いて、問題なく予定通りレッスンを受ける事が出来ました。ありがとうございました！
私は３回目、同行者は初めてで最初は恐る恐るでしたが、途中から笑顔が見られ、楽しかったー！と喜んでいました！
ワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドを大海原から眺める感覚は本当に貴重な体験だと思います！

It wasn't exactly as I imagined, with an abundance of always beautiful fish, but the experience of riding in a submarine is something you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I participated. I joined with my 80-year-old mother, and we were able to enjoy it without any issues.

想像していた程、常に綺麗なお魚がいっぱいというわけでは有りませんでしたが、潜水艦に乗るという体験は中々出来る事ではないので、参加して良かったと思います。80歳の母と参加しましたか問題なく楽しめました。
