All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

My first time in Hawaii and on a any type of boat. At first I was hesitant but so glad we had this unforgettable experience. Captiain, crew, music, view and Mai'tai cocktail were awesome. Highly recommend!

A great activity - we were lucky enough to see a seal enjoying the waves amongst the surfers on our way out to the snorkelling site. Plenty of underwater action going on and lots of turtles to see too.

It was my first submarine tour, and the interior wasn't too cramped, plus the windows were large, so we had a great time. My elementary school daughter was also very excited and happy.

They mentioned a commemorative Atlantis Dive Log (dive record) as a gift, but we were just directed to the exit and didn't receive it. I wonder if I should have said something. (I did receive information about Atlantis Submarine, but I wonder if this counts as a boarding memento?)

初めての潜水艦ツアーでしたが、艦内はそれほど狭くもなく窓も大きく楽しく過ごせました。
小学生の娘も大興奮で喜んでいました。

搭乗記念のアトランティス・ダイブログ（潜水記録）をプレゼント!…とありましたが、そのままお帰り口へ案内され、いただけませんでした。
言わないとだめだったんでしょうか。
(アトランティスサブマリンのご案内はもらったのですが、これが搭乗記念になるのかな？)

Friendly and professional crew. We felt safe and in good hands. View of Waikiki was spectacular!

I was able to enjoy a relaxed hula show as well as a powerful performance that used fire. After the show, I had the opportunity to take photos with a muscular male dancer, which became a great memory when I looked back at the pictures later. I don't remember much about the food, but I don't think it was bad. Also, there were few Japanese spectators, and I shared a long table with people from Western countries. When I was seated, I received a friendly smile, so if you can speak English, you might enjoy chatting during the show.

ゆったりとしたフラ～火を使ったパワフルなショーまで堪能できました。
ショーの後に、日本人では考えられないほどマッチョな男性のダンサーと写真を撮ることもでき、後から写真を見返してもいい思い出になりました。
食事についての記憶はあまりないですが、まずくはなかったように思います。
また、日本人の観客は少なく、長テーブルに欧米の方との相席でした。
着席時にニコッと笑いかけてもらえたので、英会話ができる方ならショーを見ながら話したりして楽しめるかも知れません。

We took our family of 5, including kids ages 13, 11, & 7. Everyone had a fabulous time, and we only wish we could've done it again. Highly recommended!

I participated with my husband.

In addition to us, there was a newlywed Japanese couple and a family with small children from abroad on the tour (^ ^).

The tour bus arrived about five minutes early, but it was a regular blue van, not a flashy trolley. The foreign driver was standing outside the door, but he didn’t say anything, so when I asked, “Parasailing?” he smiled and confirmed our names (^ ^). Upon closer inspection, I noticed that his T-shirt had "Extreme Parasail" written in English.

The bus took about five minutes to reach the location of the boat. Once we boarded, there were two foreign parasailing instructors. Both were wearing sunglasses and looked quite handsome, which got me excited, haha.

The explanation was given in English, but they also showed us a paper with safety instructions written in Japanese. I don’t understand English at all, but they occasionally mixed in some Japanese, so it was no problem (^ ^).

The instructors looked like charming guys, but they were very attentive to safety. Even if someone casually did something dangerous, they were watching closely and would give a warning, haha.

Thanks to that, I was able to take off with great peace of mind (^ ^).

I wouldn’t say I have a fear of heights, but I definitely can’t cross suspension bridges, and I’m scared even on the Disney roller coasters, so I was worried, but it was totally fine!

The scenery was truly breathtaking. A grand panorama. I felt like a bird. The sky is so quiet.

Of course, the view while flying was amazing, but even just being on the boat was quite thrilling and very satisfying!

Photos are taken for $30, but we took turns taking pictures among ourselves as Japanese (^ ^).

In the end, I gave the instructor a $5 tip (^ ^).

I was so satisfied that I regretted not bringing a little more money for tips!!!

I really recommend it (^ ^).

主人と参加しました。

ツアーには私達の他に日本人の新婚さん一組、外国人の小さな子供連れ家族が一組でした(^ ^)

ツアーバスは5分前には迎えに来てくれましたが、派手なトロリーではなく普通の青いバンでした。
また、運転手の外人さんがドアの外に立っていましたが声をかけてくる事は無いので、
こちらから「パラセーリング？」と声をかけたら笑顔で名前を確認してくれました(^ ^)
よく見たら運転手さんのTシャツにエキストリームパラセールと英語で書いてありました。


バスは5分ほどで船のある場所に到着、船に乗り込むと外国人のパラセーリングのインストラクターさんが二人います。
二人ともサングラスでしたがかなりイケメン風でテンション上がりました笑

説明は英語で話しますが、日本語で書いた注意事項の紙を見せてくれます。
英語は全くわかりませんが、たまに日本語も交えてくれるので全然問題ありません(^ ^)

インストラクターさんはイケメンチャラ男風ですが(すみませんw)安全面にはしっかり配慮してくれます。
何気なく危ない事をすると、見てないようでしっかり見ていて注意されます笑

おかげでとっても安心して飛び立つ事が出来ました(^ ^)

私は高所恐怖症とまでは言いませんが、吊り橋などは絶対渡れませんし、ジェットコースターもディズニーランドのもので限界なくらい怖がりなので心配でしたが、全然大丈夫でした！

本当に感動の景色。大パノラマ。
鳥になった気分。空って静かなんだなー。



また、飛んでからはもちろん感動の景色ですが、ボートに乗っているだけでもかなり迫力があり大満足です！

写真は30ドルで撮ってくれますが、私達は日本人同士で取り合いっこしました(^ ^)

最後にインストラクターさんに5ドルチップを渡しました(^ ^)

大満足だったので、チップのお金をもう少し持っていけば良かったと後悔したくらいです！！！


本当にオススメです(^ ^)

This was a great evening activity for a Friday. The check-in process was super-simple, we even had extra time so we went to the small bar to the right of the check-in stand. Then we lined up and where able to board the vessel. I recommend shorts, as this is a barefoot cruise. I got a little wet but others weren't so fortunate. The cruise was a quite ride out, then down to Diamond Head and back near Magic Island to see the fireworks. Overall a great experience.

My first parasailing experience!
Two handsome guys assisted us.
We boarded a boat with four groups of participants and headed to the parasailing location.

We challenged ourselves to the highest height of 150 meters.
It was much less scary than I expected, and the flying time was so much fun!!
The guys even played around by intentionally dropping us into the sea, which added to the experience. The water wasn't cold, and it was really enjoyable!
Make sure to wear a swimsuit since you might get wet!

They also took photos and made a DVD for us. I think it was $30? It does cost money, but everyone on the same boat bought it!
It became a wonderful memory★
Thank you!

初めてのパラセイル！
イケメンお兄さん2人が対応してくれました。
4組の参加者と一緒にボートに乗り、
パラセイルを行う場所まで行きます。

私たちは一番高い150ｍに挑戦しました。
思っていたよりも全然恐くなく、
とっても楽しい飛行時間でした！！
お兄さんたちが海にわざと落とすなど、演出をしてくれました。水も冷たくなく、とても楽しかったです！
濡れても良いよう、水着着用は絶対です！

写真も撮ってくれて、DVDにしてくれます。30ドルだったかな？お金は掛かりますが。同じボートだった方々もみんな買っていました！
とっても良い想い出になりました★
ありがとうございます。

I booked this for my friend's family on their first trip to Hawaii, and everyone was super excited and really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, and during the meal, the cheerful hula dancers and the ukulele music created a wonderful Hawaiian atmosphere for the family! The main show was impressive, and the structure felt quite different from other hula shows I've seen, showcasing a high level of quality. We also got to take a lot of photos with the stars at the end, which made us even more satisfied. Next time, I want to enjoy a VIP dinner with my husband at Hawaii Leahi.

初ﾊﾜｲの友人家族のために申し込んだのですが、みんなテンションUPで大変喜んでもらうことができました！
お料理も大変おいしく、食事中もにこやかなフラダンサーさんやウクレレと歌声に初ハワイ家族はハワイムードを満喫！！
メインのショーも迫力があり、構成も今までのﾌﾗｼｮｰとは一味違いかなりのレベルの高さを感じました。
最後にスター達との写真もたくさん撮れて更に満足♡
次回はﾊﾜｲﾘﾋﾟｰﾀｰの主人とVIPディﾅｰを楽しみたいと思います。

There was a host who provided explanations in English, and the show began, but it felt like only the host was speaking in English despite more than half of the participants being Japanese. It might just be my feeling since I can't speak English, but I wish they had prepared pamphlets or something. The location was also surrounded by buildings, and the atmosphere was not great, which was disappointing given my expectations.

司会者がいて、説明がはいり（英語）、ショーが始まるのですが、参加者の半数以上が日本人なのに、司会者のみが英語でしゃべっている感じでした。自分が英語ができないのでそう感じただけかもしれませんが、出来たらパンフレットとかも用意してくれていたらと思いました。
場所もビルに囲まれた中で雰囲気もイマイチで、期待していただけに残念でした。

I have done sunset cruises in various countries, but this yacht cruise was the best I've ever experienced! There were only two groups of Japanese people, and I really felt like I finally made it to Hawaii! I was able to take lots of pictures with people from different countries, and it was so much fun! I definitely want to do this again if I get the chance! I was worried about the meeting place because there were some unclear reviews, but once I got there, it was straightforward, and there was a counter, so everything was fine. No need to worry.

いろいろな国でサンセットクルーズをやりましたが、このヨットクルーズが今までで一番サイコーに良かったです！日本人は2組だけ、やっとハワイにきたぞ！と実感しました。いろいろな国の方と写真もいっぱいとることができてとても楽しかったです！これはまた機会があればぜひやりたい！集合場所、わかりづらい口コミがあり心配しましたが、集合場所行けばその通りなにも迷うことなく、カウンターもあり大丈夫です。心配はいりません。

I was able to experience parasailing efficiently within a tight schedule, which was great. A van arrived to pick us up 15 minutes before the meeting time. They waited while calling out to us until the exact departure time. It can be a bit hard to find if you're at a distance, so it's good to be cautious and stand near the road. Parasailing felt safer and less scary than I imagined. The view was also amazing and breathtaking. I highly recommend it.

タイトな日程の中で効率よくパラセイリングを体験できよかったです。
集合場所には15分前には迎えのワンボックスが来ました。出発時間きっかりになるまで
声掛けしながら待っていてくださいます。ちょっと離れた場所だとわかりづらいので、注意して道路付近に出ているとよいです。パラセイリングは想像よりも怖くなく安全な気がしました。
眺めも良く感動します。おすすめです。

I really wanna try it again........
The staff are very nice.......

I think there aren't many opportunities to ride a submarine, even if it's smaller than the underwater world in Hawaii, so I decided to participate. It's great! The kids will enjoy it too! It doesn't take much time either.

ハワイの海底云々より小さくても潜水艦てなかなか乗る機会ないとおもい参加しました。良いですよ！子供達も喜びますし！時間もそんなにかからないので。

It was a celebrity look-alike show, and I really enjoyed it because I could also see dancers, hula dancing, and a fire show, and I was able to take photos!

有名人のそっくりさんショーですが、ダンサーやフラダンス、ファイヤーショーなども見れて写真も撮れたのでとても楽しめました！

I forced my 7-year-old daughter to join, but she got seasick while waiting for our turn for parasailing. If you see that view, even those with a fear of heights won't have to worry about the height at all! It might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication to avoid getting sick on the boat.

７歳の娘を無理やりに連れて参加しましたが、パラセイリングの順番を待っている間に船に酔ってしまいました。
高所恐怖症の方もあの景色を見れば、高さの怖さは全く心配することはないですよ！
船で酔わないよう、酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかな。

Faboulous! I would recommend for families as well. Very professional; told a beautiful story; and food was 5 star.

I participated with my mother, who is 61, and my daughter, who is 34.

When we first saw the boat, my mother was worried about the swaying, but as time went on, she had a very satisfied look on her face.

The Mai Tai Catamaran looks like a large yacht with an engine. When boarding, you go down to the shore and step directly onto the boat, so your feet (up to your knees) get wet in the sea. That was also fun.

About 40 to 50 guests, along with the captain (driver) and bartender, board at once. The clientele is about 80% Westerners, with the rest being Chinese and Japanese, and there were about 3 to 4 Japanese groups. It adds to the exotic atmosphere.

The captain and bartender speak English. By the way, the staff at the reception and the explanations during boarding are also in English, but as long as you follow the actions of those around you, you won’t have any trouble.

As you can see in the photo, the boat is completely outdoors, so it is directly affected by rain and wind. If you can ride on a nice day, you can see the beautiful sunset in Waikiki.

The drink bar on board offers unlimited drinks. I was recommended the cocktail "Mai Tai," which shares the same name as the boat, and most guests were drinking it. The alcohol content is low, and it tastes like tropical juice, so you need to be careful not to drink too much (there is no restroom on the boat). They also have non-alcoholic options, so my mother was drinking pineapple juice (from a can).

The boat trip lasts about an hour and a half. The sunset is breathtakingly beautiful, and we were even able to see a pod of dolphins in the distance. It's great for families and friends, but I highly recommend it for couples.

The price is quite reasonable compared to dinner cruises. I definitely plan to repeat this experience the next time I visit Hawaii.

母61歳、娘34歳の親子で参加しました。 

最初に船を見たとき、母は揺れを心配していましたが、何のことはない、時間が経つにつれて大満足の顔になっていました。

マイタイ・カタマラン号はエンジン付きの大型ヨットのような形をしています。乗船する際は海岸に下りて直接乗り込むので、足元（ひざ下くらい）が海に浸かって濡れます。それもまた楽しいです。 

40～50人くらいの客と、船長（運転手）、バーテンダーが一度に乗り込みます。客層は欧米人が8割、あとは中国人や日本人で、日本人は3～4組くらいでした。それも異国情緒があります。 

船長やバーテンダーは英語です。ちなみに、受付の係員や乗船時の説明も英語ですが、周りの人の行動に合わせていれば困ることはありません。

 船は写真のとおり、思いっきり屋外なので、雨風の影響を直に受けます。天気の良い日に乗ることができたら、とても美しいワイキキのサンセットを見ることができます。 

船上のドリンクバーは飲み放題です。船と同じ名前のカクテル「マイタイ」をオススメされ、ほとんどのお客さんがそれを飲んでいました。アルコール度数は低く、トロピカルジュースみたいな味なので飲みすぎに注意する必要はあります（船にトイレはありません）。ノンアルコールも置いているので、母はパイナップルジュース（缶）を飲んでいました。

1時間半くらいの船旅です。サンセットはため息が出るほど美しく、イルカの群れを遠くに見ることもできました。家族や友人ともいいですが、カップルで乗ることをぜひオススメします。

 価格もディナークルーズなどと比較するとずいぶん安価です。次回ハワイを訪れる際にも、必ずリピートしようと思っています。

I booked the longest time to be in the air, but it was almost the same as those who booked for a shorter time. The person piloting the boat had something like a reservation card, but they didn't check it, and it felt quite casual. The parasailing itself was a lot of fun. Next time, I think I might try booking with another tour company after arriving in Hawaii.

一番長い間空中にいるものを予約しましたが、短い時間を予約した方とほとんど変わりませんでした。船を操縦している人が予約カードのようなものを持っていましたが、確認もしていなくてアバウトな感じでした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。今度はハワイに到着してから他のツアー会社で頼もうかな、と感じました。

I had a great time. About half of the participants were Japanese, and I heard some say that there were a lot of Japanese people today. The cruise was very beautiful and pleasant, and I had no issues with the 2 or 3 cocktails I enjoyed. The sunset was also amazing.

Actually, a few days ago there was a rain forecast, and I was considering canceling, but I'm glad I didn't. It was a bit cloudy, but the boat didn't sway much. This is a tour I would like to join again when I visit Hawaii.

楽しかったです。半分くらい日本人で、今日は日本人が多いなぁって言ってました。クルーズはとてもきれいで気持ちよかったし、カクテルも2，3杯いただく限りでは問題ありません。サンセットも最高でした。
実は、数日前から雨天予報で、キャンセルしようか迷ったのですが、キャンセルしないで良かったです。曇りがちだったけど、船はそんなに揺れませんでした。ハワイに行った際にはまた参加したいツアーです。

Did a semi-private lesson with two friends which was perfect. Jordan man, so good, he was an amazing instructor, kind and supportive and super friendly, and he got us all up on our boards and surfing on our own within the first hour. The day was bright, waves were slow but incoming, and the view of Waikiki from the water was unforgettable! Thanks to Hans Hedemann Surf School and HawaiiActivities.com. Ah man, such a great way to spend the morning.

The buffet-style meal featured roast beef as the main dish. It felt like an Elvis main, but I started to worry a bit about how many people actually know Elvis these days. The show had a Hawaiian vibe and was enjoyable. I was happy to take a photo together at the end.

ビュッフェスタイルの食事はローストビーフメインです。
エルビス・マイケル・ガガでした。
エルビスメインっぽかったですが、今エルビス知っている人って多いのか、いささか心配になってしまいました。
ショーはハワイらしさもあり、楽しかったです。
最後に写真を一緒に撮れたのはうれしかったです。

My friends and I had the BEST night in Hawaii with this combo :D The drinks flowed freely (Get the shaker! TOTALLY WORTH IT!), the music was kicking, the views were awesome and the crew was on IT!

We wanted a to see the sunset and have some cocktails AND have a delicious dinner, and this fit the bill perfectly. Rather than shelling out $100 or more for a dinner cruise (basically a floating restaurant), we got to enjoy the sunset while under sail, had all of the booze we could drink (mimosas, mai tais and more!) and then had a yummy dinner that we got to grill up ourselves. Woot! Woot!

The dinner was hella tasty and it was great that we got the combo since I saw people walk up to the hostess at the restaurant and they got told that there would be an hour and a half wait. WHAT!? We checked in and got escorted right to our table. Yup! Yup!

Definitely a great choice for anyone looking to have a great island night in Waikiki~

It was really fun, but although it said there would be a Japanese instructor, there wasn't anyone who could speak at all. I was scared to go out to sea without understanding the explanations at all. I managed to do it by mimicking others, so that was good.

すごくたのしかったけど、日本語インストラクターと書いてあったけど、一切話せる人はいなかった。説明がまったく、わからないまま海に出ることが怖かった。見よう見まねでやってみてできたからよかったけど。

Couldn't have had a better first time experience. From the pick-up to drop-off...everything was excellent and very professional.

I participated in a two-hour all-you-can-drink sunset cruise. With good music playing, I enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the lovely atmosphere! I wanted to drink a lot and soak in the ambiance, but unfortunately, this boat doesn't have a restroom... While there were plenty of elements to enjoy without drinking, it was a bit disappointing not to be able to drink much due to the lack of a restroom, especially since it was an all-you-can-drink option. However, the sunset was so breathtaking that it made me forget about that. Witnessing the moment the sun sets from the boat was incredibly romantic! I joined with two female friends, but I think this tour is perfect for couples and newlyweds. I highly recommend it! I'm glad I could participate without feeling seasick and had a great time.

２時間飲み放題のサンセットクルーズに参加しました。
良い感じの音楽とともに綺麗な景色を眺め、素敵な雰囲気！！
お酒を沢山飲んでこの雰囲気に酔いしれた～いと思ったのですが、この船トイレが無いんですね・・・。
お酒飲まなくても酔いしれる要素は充分にありましたが、せっかくの飲み放題なのにトイレが無いことによってあまり飲めないのはやや残念でした。
でも、そんなことを忘れさせてくれるかのようなサンセットは絶景です。
陽が沈んでいく瞬間を船上で拝めるなんて、何ともロマンティック！！
私は友人(女２人)と参加しましたが、カップルや新婚さんにはもってこいのツアーだと思いました。オススメです！！
船酔いもなく、楽しく参加できて良かったです。

I opted for the buffet style, and the food was delicious. I was able to talk with the people around me, the hula was great, and the show featuring Elvis was cool, with wonderful singing. Of course, Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson were also amazing.

ビュッフェ形式にしましたが、料理も美味しかったし、周りの人達とも話せたしフラも良かったし、ショーもエルビスが格好良かったのと歌もすばらしかったです。
勿論、ガガ、マイケルジャクソンも最高でしたよ。

Today, the wind was strong, and we had the main sail set to one point reef (reefed sail), but as expected from a catamaran yacht, we were able to enjoy the sunset comfortably without heeling. Also, the drinks inside were all-you-can-drink, which might be great for a first round of drinks with friends! I would like to use this service again.

本日は風が強くメインセールは１ポイントリーフ（縮帆）でしたがさすがカタマランヨット、ヒールする事もなく快適にサンセットを楽しむ事ができました。また中での酒は飲み放題で友人との飲み会の一次会にも良いかな！？また利用したいと思います。

Come do this activity after you've been partaking a little too much on the first days of your vacation! Earlier is better due to the heat. Superb views of nearly a third of the island!
