All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Good drinks!! Great hosts!! Would book again!!!!!!!

Michael Jackson was great, and Lady Gaga had a good atmosphere. Elvis's face was a bit off, but he was doing his best. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for the dinner, but they helped make the shrimp easy to eat, the timing of the dishes was good, and the taste was delicious. The middle-aged woman next to us seemed to always come here when she visits Hawaii and was friendly with the staff and Elvis. My friend who came with me to Hawaii said they wanted to see the show again. The table seats were right in front of the stage, and I can understand why people would want to return. However, hula dance shows can be seen almost anywhere in Hawaii, so it didn't feel very fresh, but it was suitable for first-timers. If possible, it would have been more interesting to have a slightly different, moody hula dance or something with a comedic touch. But really, everyone was very service-oriented, and we had a great time.

マイケルジャクソン上手でした、レディガガも雰囲気ありました。エルビスは、顔は無理がありましたが、がんばってました。はっきりいって、ディナーはあまり期待してませんでしたが
えびを食べやすく手伝ってくれたり、料理のタイミングもよく、味もおいしかったです。隣の中年女性はハワイに来たとき必ず来るようでスタッフや、エルビスとも親しくしてました。ハワイに一緒にきた、連れの友人はもう一度ショーを見たいと申してました。テーブル席もステージの目の前で、迫力も十分だしリピーターになる気持ちもわかります。ただしフラダンスショーはハワイではある意味どこでも見れますので、新鮮味は感じませんでしたが、初めての人向きの内容でした。できればせっかくですので、ちょっと毛色の違うムーディなフラダンスとか、コメディタッチなものなどでしたら、もっとおもしろかったとおもいます。でもほんとうに皆さんサービス精神旺盛で楽しく過ごさせいただきました。

It was my first time parasailing in Hawaii, so I was nervous, but I was relieved that my broken Japanese was understood and there were Japanese instructions available. There were four groups of participants, and everyone was very kind, waving when we took off and applauding when we landed. The atmosphere was very friendly throughout. It felt amazing while flying too!

ハワイでのパラセイルは初めてだったので、ドキドキでしたが、片言の日本語は通じ、日本語の説明書もあり安心しました★参加者が皆で４組いましたが、飛び上がるとき皆手を振ってくれたり降りてきたとき拍手してくれたりなど、とても皆優しく、終始和やかでした。飛んでる時もとても気持ち良かったです！！

As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!

It was a fantastic experience! We loved every minute of it! Snorkeling with turtles was amazing! Would definitely recommend! Great tour and fun activity

I was greeted pleasantly by Kerri as soon as I got there. I checked in and didn't wait long before we got on the boat. While I was a bit nervous and scared of heights, I can tell you that this is a safe activity and far more fun than I could have imagined. The guys on the boat were great and friendly to talk story with. The views were absolutely stunning of the Waikiki skyline and I could see sweeping views of Diamond Head and the southern portion of the Ko'olau Mountains. This is way more fun than being on an airplane! I highly recommend parasailing for people who love water sports or just want to have a good time.

Great show we really enjoyed every minute of it. We would love to see it again the next time we vacation.

A pleasant late afternoon! Good crew and good company. Beautiful views!

I have never been parasailing before, but what a way to get introduced into it! We had some of the best crew on the boat and a great and knowledgeable driver there. I would totally recomend Hawaiian Parasail to anyone!!

First time!! EXCELLENT!! Great crew thanks for making it fun!!

All-in-all, I recommend this tour from Waikiki Dive Center. They have great instructors!

When I first walked into the dive shop it was fairly clean, but a little disorganized. The displays were a little difficult to reach and could be made better by putting out a single style and have customers ask for a size from the stock to sell in the back.
Everybody there was pretty nice, and very laid back. It was busy so I could understand that things were running late.
Once we got our gear, our driver Waylon took us to the boat at Kewalo Basin. He was friendly and nice to talk to but this is for scuba diving so don't expect a flamboyant tour bus operator.
The initial instruction was done by Gracie. She was really nice and did a great job at explaining things to keep everyone safe and having a good time. This was my first time and I had a little anxiety, but the breathing in scuba diving really is like yoga breathing. It was very calming, a different world in the ocean. I kind of felt like an astronaut. We had two dives, and everyone was very helpful in instructing us. Lacey worked with my group. She was nice and very much about safety for us newbies. We saw all kinds of sea critters. I took it easy and did the 'yoga' breathing and it turned out quite well.
If you want your scuba certification, Waikiki Dive Center is a great place to get it. This first intro dive counts towards it, so you're practically half way there already.
Nice people + Nice scuba diving = Awesome!

My kids loved the experience. My 9 year old especially like parasailing and wants to go again and try it at a higher altitude!

I chose the 150m plan. It seems they determine the order of jumps based on the length of the rope, and we were the last of the five groups. The boat swayed a bit, but it was manageable as I gazed into the distance. No one got seasick, perhaps because the weather was nice.
The sky walk allows you to leisurely feel like a bird!
The $30 photo service included 135 photos, including videos during the sea splash! I wasn't too keen on it at first, but I thought it would be a shame not to, and it turned out to be a great decision! The two crew members were very service-oriented. There was no pressure to tip, and they made us laugh with occasional Japanese, making it a fun experience.
I also took photos from the air with a waterproof camera!

150mプランにしました。ロープの長さで飛ぶ順番を決めているようで、私たちは5組中一番最後でした。ボートは少し揺れますが遠くを眺めていたら大丈夫な程度。誰も酔ってませんでした。天候が良かったからかもしれません。
空の散歩は、のんびりと鳥になった気分が味わえます！
$30の写真サービスは、海チャポン時の動画も含め135枚もありました！あんまり乗り気じゃなかったけど、せっかくだし…とお願いして正解！クルーの2人もサービス精神旺盛です。無理にチップをせまられることもなく、たまの日本語で笑わせてもらい、楽しく過ごせました。
防水カメラで空中からも撮影してみました！

I participated in the 150-meter activity.
With a reservation at 1 PM, we gathered at the hotel at 12:40 PM and disbanded around 2:30 PM, making it a very compact and enjoyable activity.
We set off from the harbor next to Hilton Hawaiian Village.

There were four pairs participating, but the other three pairs were from Europe and America.
The instructions were in English only, but nothing was particularly difficult to understand.
You can easily grasp things like how to bend your legs and not to touch the carabiner through gestures.
The height choice is a bit tricky, but in Europe and America, the wire length is likely indicated in feet.
So, the height of 150 meters corresponds to a wire length of 300 meters, which is approximately 1,000 feet.
Since it sounds nice and round, I think many people would choose the 1,000 feet option.
(The sticker said 1,000. The other two pairs also chose 1,000, while one pair chose 600.)

You can see Waikiki in the distance, but honestly, it feels quite far away,
so I don't think the difference in visibility due to height is that significant.
Of course, the time spent in the air is proportional to the height.
That said, I think any height would be fine, but I recommend the popular height of 150 meters (1,000 feet of wire).

Photos are available for $30.
They took about 130 pictures at a quality of around 3.5 mega.
They will give you a 1-gigabyte SD card directly.
They use a DSLR for continuous shooting, so I think it's worth buying.

You can't stop yourself from bringing a camera up in the air.
Since there's a splashdown into the sea at the end, a waterproof type is essential,
and make sure to attach a safety line in case you drop it from your hands.

A boat cruise off the coast of Hawaii?
You can enjoy an aerial swim while looking at Waikiki and Diamond Head in the distance,
feeling the pleasant breeze.
I recommend you experience it at least once!
Oh, I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication beforehand.

150メートルに参加してきました。
13時の予約、ホテル集合12時40分、ホテル解散14時30分頃と、
非常にコンパクトに楽しむことができるアクティビティです。
ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ横のハーバーから、沖に出ます。

2人ずつ4組の参加でしたが、残り3組は欧米の方でした。
英語のみの説明ですが、特に難しいことはありません。
足の曲げ方とか、カラビナ触っちゃダメとか、身振り手振りで十分理解できます。
選択が悩ましい高度ですが、
欧米だとワイヤーの長さがフィート換算で案内されているのでしょう、
高さ150メートルが、ワイヤー300メートル≒1,000フィートになり、
キリが良いのでしょう、1,000フィートを選ぶ方が多いと思われます。
（シールは1,000と貼られました。他2組も1,000、1組600）

ワイキキは遠くに見えますが、正直遠いので、
高度による見え方の差はそこまでないのではと思います。
もちろん、滞空時間は高度に比例します。
ということで、どれでもいいと思いますが、
メジャーと思われる高度150メートル（ワイヤー1,000フィート）をおすすめします。

写真は、30ドル。
3.5メガほどの画質で、130枚程度撮ってもらいました。
1ギガのSDカードをそのまま渡してくれます。
一眼レフの連射を使ってくれますし、買って損はないと思います。

上空にカメラを持っていくのも止められませんでした。
最後に海ポチャがあるので、防水型必須、
手から落とした時のために、命綱をつけておきましょう。

ハワイ沖をボートクルーズ？、
遠くにワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらの空中遊泳、
心地よい風を感じることができます。
一度ご体験ください！
あ、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が安心かと。

We participated with nine people. The boat was private. The staff on the boat were kind, and the parasailing was over in no time. We also requested a video for all nine of us for $30, which they handed to us on an SD card on the way back. It was very calm on the sea, and we were blessed with good weather.

9人で参加しました。
ボートは貸切でした。ボートのお兄さん達も優しくて、パラセーリングもあっという間に終わりました。
9人全員で30＄のビデオもお願いしました。ＳＤカードで帰りに渡してくれました。
海の上はとても静かで、天気にも恵まれてよかです。

During my trip to Hawaii during Golden Week, I made a reservation in advance from Japan to participate. I boarded the boat directly from the beach at Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and enjoyed the wonderful scenery. Since I was the last to board, there were no seats available, and I ended up sitting at the back of the boat, but it was the best spot. I was lucky to be in a place where I could stretch my legs and take in the view. I highly recommend this for anyone going to Hawaii. You will get wet when boarding, so it's a good idea to wear beach sandals. It gets cold after sunset, so bringing a long-sleeve shirt is advisable.

ゴールデンウィークにハワイに旅行した時に、事前に日本より予約して参加しました。
シェラトンワイキキホテルのビーチから直接船に乗り、素晴らしい景色を楽しみました
最後に乗ったので、席がなく船の後方に座ったのですが、それが最高　足をのばして
景色を見渡せる場所でラッキーでした
ハワイに行かれる方はぜひおすすめします　
乗るときに濡れますので、ビーチサンダルで参加するとよいです。日暮れから寒くなりますので長袖を持っていくとよいです

Such a peaceful experience. A dip in the ocean was worth it. Photos on the boat wasn't too great but we had no viewers on board to take pictures for us.

Pick up location is litterally right behind the Ilikai Hotel where we stayed. Crew was fun and interactive. Watched others ahead of us go up and come back and the crew took pictures. We however went up (1000ft) and during our return back to the boat, the hydraulic system failed and caused a large whiplash surge to us. Banged our legs against the line but no real damage. Then I noticed a crew member removing his shirt. Why would he do that? Because he was going to get in the water. So we started to touch down into the water, but unlike the others we did not come back up. The parachute and lines sank in the water along with us and we had to release ourselves from the harness as we were being dragged. The one crew memeber dove in to gather the chute as we swam back to the boat.

Best part? I got the whole thing on my chest mounted GoPro. We were fine and it was still quite fun. We just got a bonus. So why did I give it 4/5 stars? Since I was filming it all I recorded only a little over 7 minutes when it was supposed to be a 10 minute round trip ride. So if you go bring a timer and make sure you get what you paid for.

Other than that I do recommend.

Very nice views..pretty easy to hike..and the views were spectacular

It was my first time parasailing!

Unfortunately, the weather was not great with some rain and cloudy skies, which made the view disappointing, but it gave me a reason to challenge myself to try again next time! (laughs)

I had seen reviews mentioning that some people couldn't get on the trolley, so I was worried, but I was able to board the trolley without any issues. The staff mainly spoke English, but they also spoke a little Japanese, and for the important explanations, they provided a sheet written in Japanese, which was reassuring.

The parasailing experience itself was simply amazing! It was a unique experience to look down at Waikiki from above the ocean, which was really great. The boat was quite rocky, and while I didn't get seasick, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to take some medication just to be safe. However, the day I participated, the sea was unusually rough, so it might have been particularly bumpy...

初めてのパラセイリングでした！

あいにくの天気で雨がぱらついたり、曇っていて景色は残念でしたが次回チャレンジに挑む理由ができました！笑

口コミでトロリーに乗れなかった方がいると見ていたので心配でしたが、難なくトロリーに乗ることができました。
スタッフの方もメインは英語を話されていましたが日本語も少し話されていましたし、大事な説明の部分は日本語で書かれた用紙を渡されますので安心でした。

パラセイリング自体は最高の一言！
上からワイキキを海から見下ろすなんて事はなかなかできない体験だったのでとてもよかったです。
船の上ではかなり揺れが激しく、私は酔いませんでしたが酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲む方が安心かもしれません。
ただ、私が参加した日は現地の方も珍しいという程海が荒れていたので特別揺れただけかもしれませんが…

The opening was significantly delayed from the schedule. However, everyone was spending their time ordering drinks and enjoying themselves. With Michael's welcome, we had the customary commemorative photo, and then finally the park opened! The show exceeded expectations, and there were few Japanese guests, but everyone was really into it and it was overwhelming. The slightly chubby Elvis had an incredible spirit of service, going around to all the seats and shaking hands! The audience was thrilled! We had a wonderful time, and I highly recommend it.

予定よりかなり遅れての開演でした。
でも、飲み物を注文したりして皆さんそれなりに時間を使っていらっしゃいました。
マイケルのお出迎えで恒例の記念撮影、それからいよいよ開園！
ショーは期待以上に盛り上がり、お客も日本人は少なく皆さんノリノリで圧倒されるほど。
チョット太めのエルビスはサービス精神が凄く、全員の席を廻り握手！お客も大喜び！
楽しい時間を過ごしました、とってもお勧めです。

The crew was really cheerful and fun! I had a great time with the other passengers. The waves were high and we got soaked, but it was a memorable cruising experience.

クルーたちはほんとに陽気で楽しい！
周りの乗客とともに楽しいひと時を過ごしました。
波が高くてずぶぬれになりましたが、思い出に残るクルージングでした。

I was a wonderful trip. Staffs and all are very nice. I saw couple turtles under water and another during the time we were sailing around the Waikiki area. It was a great time ever.

I was taken to a place with sea turtles while snorkeling, and I was able to experience the sensation of swimming alongside them. The moment I surfaced to breathe was very cute.
During sailing, it started to rain, and it was cold...

シュノーケリングはウミガメのいる場所に連れて行ってもらい、一緒に泳ぐ感覚を味わえました。呼吸をするために顔を出す瞬間がとてもかわいかったです。
セーリング中は雨が降ってきて、寒かったです。。。

It's best to take Premium tour if you want to see. The tour guide was very funny. We enjoued ourselves. We like how colors break down as you descend into ocean floor.

I usually Do Not Participate in reviews but, I actually ENJOYED MY SELF! The next time we return to Hawai'i I mu husband and I will do the 600 feet.

The tour consisted of 12 people in groups of two and three. Usually, the pickup van for tours is late, but this one arrived on time.

We took a large boat until we reached the sea. Since the sun was quite strong, I was glad I wore a UV cardigan over my swimsuit. The instructions for putting on the equipment were in English, as mentioned in other experiences, but they used gestures to explain, so I understood it somewhat. Plus, they guided us, so it was fine to just go with the flow.

I attempted the 150m challenge, and while the cable swayed a bit like a swing when it stretched, that added to the thrill and made it fun. Up high, it was very quiet, and I could feel the wind in the sky, which was an amazing feeling. (I took off the cardigan.) The men participating wore life jackets and swim trunks, and after jumping, they put on their T-shirts again.

During the landing, we were soaked up to our waists in the sea, and it was funny to see ourselves recorded on the SD card. I highly recommend buying the SD card ($30). Just let them know "SD please" before you go parasailing, and it's all set. We looked like we were having a great time in the photos.

If I do it again, I noticed that I was mostly showing my backside in the pictures, so I plan to place the guard closer to my thighs like my husband did for more stability.

２人３組、３人２組の、計１２人でのツアーでした。
ツアーだとお迎えのバンは大抵遅れるのですが、こちらは時間とおりに到着してくれました。

海へ出るまでは大型ボートに乗ります。かなり日差しが強かったのでＵＶカーディガンを水着の上に羽織って正解でした。
器具を装着するなどの説明は、体験談にあるように英語でしたが、ジェスチャーで表現してくれるので何となくわかりました。それにやってくださるのでそのままGOで大丈夫です。

150mに挑戦しましたが、ケーブルが伸びる時にグラっとぶらんこのように少し揺れますが、それがまた恐怖で楽しかったし、高い高い上空はとても静かで、空の風を肌で感じることが出来たのが、最高の気分でした。（カーディガンは脱ぎました）
参加された男性もライフジャケットに海パンというスタイルで、飛んだ後にまた手持ちのＴシャツを着るという感じでした。

着陸の時には腰まで海に浸かって、びしゃびしゃな私たちがＳＤカードに記録されていて可笑しかったです。ＳＤカード（＄30）は絶対買った方がいいです。パラセイリングで飛ぶ前にＳＤプリーズと伝えればＯＫ。
とても楽しそうな自分たちが写っていました。

次回やるとしたら、ひざに近いモモ裏にガードをあてたらお尻ばかり見せるように写っていたので、こんどは安定していた主人のようにお尻に近いモモ裏にガードをあてようと思います。

Great time! We felt as though we got a "two for one" as we enjoyed the boat ride as other couples parasailed in addition to our parasailing! It was surprisingly peaceful. I also enjoyed doing a dry take off and landing (we also did the water dip).

Our group shared a solemn gathering to bid a final farewell to a great man. The charter crew provided us the perfect attitude for the occasion. They were very professional and provided us with the utmost respect.
Lastly, the widow of the deceased is a Japanese woman that traveled all the way from Japan for the occasion. She has expressed her deepest gratitude for the service provided. I'm absolutely certain she will be forever grateful.
Thank you to Jake and Travis for their outstanding services.

Had a great time, knowledgable crew, would do it again in a heartbeat!
