All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Five out of the six groups were Japanese, but all six groups had a sense of unity and it was very enjoyable. This was likely because the staff were fun and friendly, and they always took care to communicate in simple Japanese and clear English while we were putting on our gear on the boat heading out to sea. The world above during parasailing was surprisingly calm. Next time, I want to try other activities as well.

６組中５組が日本人でしたが、６組全てのグループが一体感がありとても楽しかったです。
それはスタッフの方が楽しく友好的で、
海上へ向かうボート内で、装具を付ける際も、いつも片言の日本語とわかりやすい英語で気遣ってくれたからと思います。
パラセイリングの上空は意外にも穏やかな世界でした。
次は他のアクティビティも挑戦したいです。

We participated as a couple in our 60s. The two young American staff members who took care of us were cheerful and engaged us in conversation in English. They prepared everything carefully, and before we knew it, we were launched into the air. The fear I had imagined was completely absent, and I was thrilled by the pleasant tension and the wonderful scenery.

夫婦２人(60代)で参加しました。担当してくれたアメリカ人青年2人は明るくて、英語でしたが色々話しかけてくれました。準備を丁寧にしてくれて、沖に出るあっという間に空中に放たれました。想像していた恐怖感は全くなく、ここち良い緊張と素晴らしい景色に興奮しました。

We enjoyed the dinner and of course the main Show ..we definitely will come back again.

I happened to be the only participant, so it turned into a private charter. It feels like riding a swing 150 meters above the ground. There's nothing else like it. Overlooking the ocean and gazing at Diamond Head is breathtaking. The wind feels amazing! Is the tip $20? There was a $20 bill clipped to the boat, so it felt like I had to pay that amount, haha. But I definitely recommend it!

たまたま他の参加者がいなくて、プライベートチャーターになりました。150メートル上空でブランコに乗っているような感覚です。これは他にはありません。海を見下ろしてダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは圧巻です。風が最高に気持ちい！チップは20ドル？ボートに20ドル札がクリップされていて、なんか20は払わなきゃならない雰囲気でした笑。でもぜったいオススメです！

This was my first time participating, and it was a wonderful experience. The boat didn't sway much, but occasionally we hit strong waves that splashed water, which was also a fun experience. Most people were enjoying Mai Tais, but since we are not good with alcohol, we opted for soft drinks. Along the way, we saw a rainbow over Diamond Head, and it became a lovely memory with beautiful scenery.

初めて参加しましたが、とてもいい体験でした。船はあまり揺れることがなかったのですが時折強い波に当たると水しぶきが飛んできますがそれも楽しい体験です。ほとんどの人がマイタイを美味しそうに飲んでいましたが、私たちはお酒に弱いのでソフトドリンクにしました。途中ダイヤモンドヘッドに虹がかかり、すてきな景色も見ることができて良い思い出となりました。

We were staying at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. I would look down from our room and see the small area the luau was being performed in. I was skeptical because any luaus we had previously been to were done in large areas. We were all pleasantly surprised at how welcoming the staff were! The show itself was very well done and the acts were both beautiful and memorable. The setting was small and intimate. There were 9 of us total and we were all very pleased! Music and singing were great!

We booked a private Honolulu Sunset Cruise to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we all had a wonderful time. The crew was professional courteous and allowed everyone to enjoy the cruise. The next time we are in Honolulu, we will definitely book this cruise again!

It was my first time parasailing, and the guide was interesting, making it a fun experience. Thank you!

初めてのパラセーリングでしたが、ガイドさんもおもしろく楽しい体験ができました。ありがとうございます！

Yet again another excellent tour from VELTRA and Operators. Bus driver Tommy was funny and more importantly on time, he gave us all the information we needed. We climbed at 9am and did it in 20mins as we wanted a workout. Spent some time at the top, taking in the views. Made our way down slowly, sat under the trees in the park and waited to be collected by Tommy. All done by 1130am. Perfect!

My first time in Hawaii and my first time parasailing was an amazing experience. As I've gotten older, I've become a bit uneasy with heights, so I had some concerns, but parasailing was something else entirely. It was fantastic!

初めてのハワイ、初めてのパラセーリングは最高の体験でした。
歳を取るにつれて少し高いところが苦手になってきて、少し不安がありましたが、パラセーリングは別物でした。最高です！

I was very satisfied running through the town of Honolulu and along the coast while feeling the breeze! I will definitely sign up again when I come to Hawaii!

ホノルルの町中と海沿いなど風を感じながら走れ非常に満足できました！また、ハワイに来る際にはぜひ申し込みいたします！

The Viking was a bit tiring, but it was worth the climb! The view was spectacular. The guide was also very kind. I'm glad I participated.

バイキングは少し疲れましたが
登る価値あり！
絶景です。
ガイドさんもとても親切でした。
参加して良かったです。

We participated as a family of four. We put on our swimsuits and headed to the meeting point, then boarded the boat to go out to sea. There were two crew members: the captain and one staff member. It seemed there were two boats for parasailing. Since there were many Japanese tourists, some basic Japanese words were used, but the main language was English. The speed of the boat going out to sea was exhilarating! The moment we were told to put on the gear and go, we soared into the sky. So high! So beautiful! So refreshing! The blue sea, the clear blue sky, and Diamond Head unfolded before us like a postcard. The parasailing was colorful and doubled the fun. It was truly an enjoyable sailing experience. You can take photos with your phone, which you can hang around your neck in a waterproof cover. The staff also takes pictures for you. They save them to your phone's files and even give you an SD card. They took 270 pictures for us. This happened after the reception staff at the building showed us the photos on a tablet after receiving the SD card. You give tips directly in cash to the staff when you get off the boat. At other restaurants, it felt like you could choose from three options: 18%, 20%, or 23%, so around 20% seems to be the norm. It was a happy time with the friendly and smiling staff in the relaxed flow of Hawaiian time. We checked in 30 minutes before our reservation, and the total experience lasted about an hour and a half. It was a great activity to experience. A Hui Hou 🌺

家族４人で参加しました。水着を着て集合場所へ行き、ボートに乗って沖へ出ました。船長（キャプテン）とスタッフ１人の2人体制です。見た所パラセイルのボートは２船あるようでした。日本人観光客が多いのがカタコトの単語は出てきますが基本は英語のみ。沖へ出るボートのスピードは爽快！器具をつけてGOと言われた瞬間ふわぁーっと空へ飛び出しました。たかーい！キレイ！気持ちいーい！ブルーの海と真っ青な空とダイアモンドヘッド、絵葉書の世界が目の前に広がります。パラセイルはカラフルで楽しさ倍増。ホントに楽しいセイリングでした。防水カバーに入れたケータイを首から下げて写真撮影可能。スタッフさんも写真を撮ってくれます。ケータイのファイルに落としてくれてSDカードもくれます。270枚も撮ってくれてました。40ドルでした。これは建物の受付スタッフさんがSDカードを受け取ってタブレットで見せてくれてからの事です。チップはボートを降りるときにスタッフさんに直接キャッシュで渡します。他のレストランでも18％20％23%の3種類から選ぶような感じだったので大体20％くらいが相場のようです。ハワイ時間の流れる穏やかで笑顔明るいスタッフさん達と幸せな時間でした。予約時間の30分前に受付して、トータル１時間半くらい。体験してよかったアクティビティでした。A Hui Hou 🌺

My wife and I participated (both 65 years old, haha). This time, four groups jumped. Besides us, there were newlyweds from Japan, a group of three foreign men (two of whom jumped), and a cheerful group of four (two of whom jumped), along with two crew members.

We were the first to jump, cheered on by everyone. It was incredibly fun. Up in the sky, the wind felt nice, and I was amazed by the blue of the sea below. After being dipped in the sea about three times (when we touched the water for a while, the speed of the boat increased and we floated up, and then when the boat slowed down, we touched the water again), we safely landed back on the boat.

While the other three groups were jumping, we felt like we were cruising and were never bored at all. The crew member even told us about delicious places to eat in Honolulu.

I’m not sure about the others, but when we disembarked, I gave each of the two crew members a $10 tip. I also purchased photos on an SD card for $40, which could be copied directly to my iPhone on the spot. It was a great experience.

かみさんと参加（どちらも65歳 笑）。
今回，飛んだ(?)のは4組。船には，我々の他は，日本からの新婚さん，外国の男子3人組（内2名飛び）と陽気な男女4人組（内2名飛び），クルー2名。
我々は，皆の歓声に見送られて，1番に飛びました。
めちゃくちゃ，楽しかったです。
空の上は，風が気持ちよく，とにかく下に見える海の青さに感激です。
3回ほど海にチャポンと浸け（しばらく着水すると引っ張る船のスピードが上がって浮き上がり，また船が遅くなると海に着水する・・みたいな感じです）られた後，無事に船上に着陸(?)。
あとの3組が飛ぶ間も，クルーズしている感じで，全く飽きませんでした。クルーのにいさんがホノルルのおいしい店を教えてくれたり・・。
他の人たちは不明ですが，下船時，クルー2名に心付けを$10ずつ渡しました。
SDカードの写真も$40で購入しました。その場でiPhoneにコピーもできました。
良い体験しました。

I had a great time surrounded by beautiful seas. I only caught small fish, but I think it's good for families and beginners. If you're prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must.

綺麗な海に囲まれて楽しかったです。
小魚しか釣れなかったですがファミリーや初心者向けに良いと思います。
船酔いが気になる人は、酔い止め必須ですよ。

Cirque du Soleil's AUANA is a must-see when you visit Waikiki. The 80 minutes flew by in no time. It was amazing. The entire venue comes together as one. There are laughs, and everyone who comes will definitely think it was fantastic. The air conditioning is strong, so women might want to bring a jacket! Everything in the show is incredible, so please make sure to experience it.

シルクドソレイユAUANAは、ワイキキに来たら必見です。80分があっという間に過ぎました。凄いです。会場全体が一つになります。
笑いもあり、凄い良かったと来た人は、必ず思います。冷房が効いていて、女性は上着がいるかも！内容は、どれもすごいので是非体験してください。

It was so good even we don’t have any yoga experience before!
It is very nice to be the first schedule in hawaii!!

Since I am learning hula dancing, watching an authentic hula show was very informative and I had a wonderful time. It was a highly satisfying event.

フラダンスを習っているので、本場のフラのショーを観てとても参考にもなりましたし、
楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました
大満足のイベントでした

It must be tough for the guide to manage both English and Japanese, but it's tiring for us listening as well. I had a similar tour before, but there were about 10 people, so we could take our time. I wanted to see the surfers riding the waves at the North Shore. I think it's strange to expect tips. It's quite an expensive tour... I've participated in various tours before, but this one was quite disappointing.

英語と日本語のガイドでガイドさんも大変だろうけれど、聞いている私達も疲れる。
以前ほぼ同じようなツアーだったけど10人位でゆっくりとできた。
ノースショアではサーフィンの波乗りしている人達が見たかった。
チップもいる？のはおかしいと思う。
結構高額ツアーなのに・・・
今までいろいろ参加してきたけれど、だいぶ残念なツアーでした。

I've seen Cirque du Soleil several times, and without a doubt, this is the best one yet. The show progresses at a good pace, seamlessly incorporating the beauty of Hawaii without becoming boring. The performers are truly amazing, and the surrounding production is also fantastic. I watched from the front row center, and it was a valuable seat. You can experience the performance up close with overwhelming intensity. Next time, I want to see the whole show from the back.

シルクドソレイユは何度か観ましたが間違い無く過去最高です。展開に飽きる事なくハワイの素晴らしさを織り交ぜながらテンポ良く進みます。パフォーマーの素晴らしさは圧巻ですが周りの演出も素晴らしいものがあります。最前列中央で観ましたが価値ある座席です。パフォーマンスをじっくり間近で圧倒的迫力で体感できます。次は後方から全体を見渡したいと思います。

During my first trip to Hawaii, I was worried about whether I could enjoy it due to my age, but the staff's enthusiasm and the photo service (for a fee) made it a lot of fun.

初めてのハワイで、年齢的な事もあり、楽しめるのか心配でしたが、スタッフの盛り上げや写真サービス（有料）もありとても楽しめました。

I climbed to quite a high place, and the view is amazing! You can see Waikiki and Diamond Head all at once. When coming down, if you ask, they will let you dip your feet in the sea for a moment (laughs).

かなり高い所まであがり、景色が最高です！ワイキキやダイアモンドヘッドまで一望できます。
下に降りて来るときは希望したら一瞬海に足をちゃぽんしてくれます(笑)

What a fantastic Luau! The emcee had the audience participating, laughing & entertained. The dancers and the music was outstanding! Food and drinks were simply yummy!

We purchased this event with no expectations good or bad, After a terrific meal and such a variety of good food next came a amazing show well choreographed and just plain goodtime for everyone in attendance
100% We will be back

I participated with my wife and our 8-year-old child. There was another Japanese family, so we were in a group of two families. We all went parasailing together, which created great memories. When returning to the boat, we got wet up to our waists, so I think wearing swimsuits is essential. The tour guide spoke a little Japanese. There was also an option for photo shooting, which cost $40 (and you don't have to buy them if you don't like them).

妻と子供(8歳)と3人で参加しました。他に日本人の親子が1組おり、2組での参加でした。3人一緒にパラセーリングさせてもらい、良い思い出になりました。船に戻る際は一旦腰まで着水しましたので水着は必須かと思います。添乗員は少し日本語が話せました。また、写真撮影のオプションもあり料金は$40でした。（気に入らなければ購入しなくて良いそうです）

We had a wonderful experience as a family of 10 on our tour to Waimea Valley! The breakfast was a great start! Our tour guide, Jason, was full of great facts as we drove along the way to our destinations! Weimea definitely exceeded my expectations in beauty! Jason shared facts about the flora and fauna surrounding us. The walked is paved but does have some inclines along the way. The walk was great for the whole family but my elderly parents had to move slower behind the group at their own pace. The waterfall was perfect. There is “audience style seating” for families to sit if not swimming and to place items. Life jackets are required and provided which was nice and the life guards that are on duty are very helpful. The tour gives 30 minutes to enjoy the waterfall swimming which was a great amount of time. Lunch was then given after a walk back to the entrance of Waimea. Although lunch is provided and was very good- for picky eaters or hungry along the way- there are snack bars and a walk up style restaurant to order other food.
After leaving Waimea we went to Dole where we had plenty of time to walk around the gift shop and enjoy our Dole Whip. This tour was a hit with the family and definitely would recommend it!

I decided to go after seeing the promotion at the Hawaii EXPO in Tokyo the year before last. I watched the entire show, and even a week after returning home, I still can't contain my excitement. It's beautiful and thrilling; it’s definitely something you should see.

一昨年東京でのハワイEXPOでプロモーションを観て、行こうと決めていました
全編を観れて未だに帰国後1週間経っても感激がおさまりません
綺麗だしスリリングだし、絶対に観るべきです

Harasho is never boring as you can see various types of things while tracing back through history. Michael Jackson makes an appearance, and there’s a fire show, so I had a great time! The show is in English, but I think you can still enjoy it even if you don't understand English!

ハラショーは、歴史を遡りながら色々な種類のものを見ることができるので、飽きません。マイケルジャクソンが出てきたり、ファイヤショーがあるので、すごく楽しめました！ショーは英語ですが、英語がわからなくても楽しめると思います！

It was wonderful to enjoy a cruise while feeling the breeze. I was able to leisurely watch the passage of time and the sunset.

風を感じながらのクルーズ。時間の流れと日が沈んでいく様子をゆったりと見ることが出来てとても良かったです。

This was my second time participating, following last year. Thanks to the cheerful staff, I quickly ascended to 150 meters above ground. It was a refreshing flight while enjoying the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head with the blue ocean below. On the way back, we raced back to the port, bouncing over the sea. I want to experience it again.

昨年に続き二回目の参加でした。陽気なスタッフにより、あっと云う間に上空150mへ。青い海を眼下にワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながら、爽快な飛行です。帰路は海の上を跳ねるように全速で港へ戻ります。また体験したくなります。
