All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

At first, I was a little sad—the catamaran was significantly smaller than the last one I had been on for a sunset cruise—however, it ended up being perfect! The island was beautiful, the sunset amazing, and we saw a whale and her baby whale no further than 200m from us! Fantastic!

First, it begins with a special treatment where they come to greet us at the entrance. We were the only two, a mother and child, led to the green room. While we were welcomed with champagne and fruits, Lady Gaga in her extravagant costume made her appearance! I was very happy to take a commemorative photo together.

Then, a brother who resembled Ichikawa Ebizō explained the backstage, dressing rooms, and the actual stage to us. However, since it was in English, I only understood about 30% (laughs). We had the opportunity to take photos on stage and even borrowed props and costumes used in the hula for some memorable shots—experiences that we could never have in our daily lives.

Next was dinner at a seat where we could actually watch the show. It was an ultra-premium seat right in the center, at the very front! Every dish was delicious, and I was very satisfied! The staff serving us were cheerful and polite.

The main show had a high level of quality, and my mother, being from the Elvis generation, was thrilled when Elvis kissed her cheek and placed a plumeria lei around her neck. Overall, it was a very satisfying and special night that beautifully colored our last evening before returning home!

まず、最初のエントランスで、わざわざお迎えに来て頂くという特別待遇から、始まります。
グリーンルームに通されたのは、この日、私たち親子の二人だけ。
ウェルカムシャンパンや、フルーツなどでのおもてなしを受けていると、奇抜な衣装のガガ様が登場！！ 一緒の記念撮影は、とても嬉しかったです。
そして、市川海老蔵似のお兄さんに、舞台裏、楽屋、実際のステージなどの説明を受けます。
とはいえ、英語なので、三割くらいしか理解できませんでしたが（笑）
写真なども、ステージの上で撮って頂いたり、フラの際に使われる小道具や被り物などを貸してもらっての写真撮影など、普段では絶対出来ない経験をさせて頂きました。
そして、実際のショーを見る席でのディナー。
ど真ん中の一番前という超特等席です！
お料理はどれもおいしく、大変満足のいくものでした！
給仕して下さる方もにこやかで、丁寧でした。
そして、メインのショーは、みなさんクオリティが高く、特に母は、エルヴィス世代なので、エルヴィスに頬をキスされ、プルメリアのレイを
首にかけてもらって感激していました。
全体的に非常に満足の行く、帰国前の夜を彩る特別な一夜となりました！

The show was a lot of fun. Everyone in it was great. My husband was a little hesitant on going but by the end he was glad we went.

This was a fun activity. The guys who took us out were great. My husband enjoyed this more than I. He gives this 5 stars.

This tour was one that I had the most apprehension. The crew gave use great instruction and made the experience one that we will never forget. I highly recommend to all who visit Honolulu. The takeoff and landing was very smooth and the boat ride was awesome!

The pickup was smooth, and even though not much Japanese was spoken, the guide's response was good.

However, I felt a strong sense of being out of place since everyone around was a foreigner.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been Japanese customers with us.

It seems we were at the highest altitude, but I couldn't really tell while flying (laughs).

I experienced a bit of seasickness, but the view from above was truly spectacular!

We took a lot of photos, and it became a great memory.

ピックアップもスムーズで、日本語はあまり通じないものも、ガイドさんの対応もよかったです。

しかし、周りが外国人ばかりでアウェー感がハンパなかったです。

日本人のお客さんと一緒だったらもっと楽しめたと思います。

私たちが一番高い距離だったみたいですが、飛んでる方はよく分からなかったです(笑)

多少の船酔いはありましたが、やはり上から見る景色は絶景でしたー！

写真もいっぱい撮っていただき、いい思い出になりました。

We participated as a family of four, including two elementary school children. It was a cloudier day than we expected, so we boarded the boat with some concern. There were hardly any Japanese people, and perhaps it was a good thing that we boarded last, as we ended up sitting in a spot on the netting of the catamaran where we could dangle our feet and feel the waves. The adults had Mai Tais while the kids toasted with juice. We enjoyed the cruise until the sun began to set. As we picked up speed, the splashes of water added to the excitement. The kids intentionally went to get wet, so their dresses ended up soaked... Our warm jackets also got wet, and we were shivering from the cold in the later part of the trip. Although it was a sunset, the sea dyed in orange was impressive and became a wonderful memory. Both the adults and kids said they definitely want to ride again! By the way, since we had made the reservation for the first night, the kids were struggling with jet lag and were very sleepy on the way back.

夫婦と小学校低学年２人の４人で参加しました。
思ったより雲の多い日だったので心配しつつ乗船。日本人がほとんどおらず尻込みして最後に乗り込んだのが良かったのか、双胴船のネットの部分に足を投げ出して波を感じられる席に着きました。
大人はマイタイ、子供たちはｼﾞｭｰｽで乾杯。日が沈み始めるまではしばし遊覧を満喫しました。スピードを上げて波しぶきが上がり盛り上がりました。子供たちはわざわざ濡れにいったのでワンピースがビショビショ…。防寒用のパーカーも濡れてしまい後半寒さに震えていました。
サンセットでしたが、オレンジに染まった海が印象的で最高の思い出となりました。
大人も子供もまた絶対に乗りたいね！と言っていました。
ちなみに、初日の夜に予約していたため、子供たちは時差ぼけで帰り道眠くて仕方なかったようです。

I took my children (1 year old, 3 years old, 5 years old) with me.
We gathered in front of Outrigger Reef, but there were no signs or anything.
You have to show your voucher to a foreigner who seems to be in charge.
All the instructions are in English.
Perhaps due to the season, the other passengers on board were all foreigners besides us.
It was windy that day, and once we went out to sea, we got splashed a lot by the high waves.
It gets cold, so long sleeves are a must.
I think those with small children should consider whether to participate.
Adults will enjoy it!

子供(1歳、3歳、5歳)を連れて行きました。
OutriggerReefの前に集合ですが、特に看板等は出ていません。
それらしき外国人にバウチャーを見せるしかありません。
案内は全て英語です。
時期的なのか、乗船したお客さんも私達以外、外国人でした。
当日は風が強く沖に出ると高波で、水しぶきをたくさん浴びました。
冷えるので、長袖は必需です。
小さい子連れの方は参加を考えた方が良いと思います。
大人は楽しめますよ！

First time parasailing, we did 600 feet and it was a blast! It was nice having music to listen/sing along to while the others were parasailing. Definitely recommend buying the card with the pictures on it. It was cool that Kevin (who was driving the boat that day) had family in Manitowoc, Wisconsin!

About 10 people participated, and there were many foreigners besides us, which made it great for enjoying the atmosphere since it wasn't just Japanese people! It was lively! I also recommend being able to enjoy the scenery and sunset while drinking with everyone.

10人くらいで参加しましたが私達以外には外国の方も多くて、日本人ばかりじゃない所が雰囲気を楽しむのによかったです！盛り上がりました！みんなでお酒を飲みながら景色やサンセットが見れるのもオススメ。

It was a refreshing and pleasant experience beyond what I had expected!
It was exhilarating to view Diamond Head and the town of Waikiki from the sky!
Seeing Hawaiian Airlines flying above was also enjoyable, as it felt so close!

My mother, who was initially scared, was completely satisfied and wanted to fly again at 150 meters!

Since taking photos from the boat can result in backlighting, I recommend capturing video instead!

思っていた以上に清々しく気持ちがイイ体験でした！
ダイアモンドヘッドとワイキキの町を空から眺めて爽快でした！
上をハワイアン航空が飛んで行く様も、ジェット近い！と楽しめました。

怖がっていた母も、もう一度飛びたかった！と大満足の150mでした！

写真はボートから撮ると逆光になるので、ビデオがお勧めです！

The meeting place was fine since I had prepared by reading other people's reviews. The explanations on the ship were all in English, but they used gestures to help explain, so I could understand most of it. There were not many Japanese passengers, but on the contrary, it made me feel like I was abroad.

The all-you-can-drink option included sparkling wine, so my partner and I ended up finishing about three bottles (laughs). However, the crew members kept refilling our glasses without any unpleasant expressions, and we were able to enjoy the sunset while pleasantly tipsy.

This tour is especially satisfying for those who love alcohol. I will definitely use this service again when I visit Hawaii next time!

集合場所は他の方の口コミで予習していたため、問題ありませんでした。
船内は全て英語での説明ですが、身振り手振りを交えて説明して下さるため、だいたい理解できます。乗客は日本人は少ないですが、逆に海外に来た気分になれました♪
飲み放題はスパークリングワインもあったので、私たちカップルだけでボトル3本くらいあけてしまいました（笑）ですが、クルーの方たちは嫌な顔一つせずどんどんついで下さり、ほろ酔いでサンセットを見ることができました。
特にお酒好きには大満足なツアーなのではないでしょうか。次回ハワイに行ったときも利用させていただきます♪

This was an amazing Thing. The 2 guys operating the boat were great. They took a lot of pics and got probably the $$ shot of the year withplane in the Background. If they ask if you wanna get wet...DO IT. They dipped us in the water 3 times and drug us a Little bit which was AWESOME!!! When I come back I will do it at least twice.

What a rich experience it was to go on a yacht cruise. On top of that, the snorkeling tour was a great value for the price. Although I couldn't speak any Japanese, I managed just fine with gestures. The captain and the staff who assisted with snorkeling were friendly and pleasant.

なんともまあ、リッチな気分でヨットクルーズ。おまけにシュノーケリングツアーまでついてコスパ的に申し分なしですよ。
日本語は全く通じないけど、身振り手振りでどうにかなります。キャプテンもシュノーケリングのお世話をしてくれるスタッフもフレンドリーで感じがよかったです。

Every time I visit, I ride it!! While it's nice to relax at Waikiki Beach, viewing Waikiki Beach from the water is truly wonderful. The night view from the sunset is worth seeing. (It gets chilly on the water, so women should bring a wrap.)

訪れるたびに毎回乗ります !!
ワイキキビーチでゆっくり過ごすのもいいけれど、海の上からワイキキビーチを眺めるのは本当に素敵。
サンセットからの夜景は一見の価値ありです。
(海上は冷えるので女性は羽織を持った方がいいですよ)

During dinner, they performed songs and hula right in front of us. The singing was amazing, and I still remember it clearly; I became a fan. The man doing the hula was really cool (laughs). The concert venue was surprisingly small, so it was great to see the stars up close. The photo session afterward was also nice, as I could take pictures with my favorite people, making it a wonderful memory.

ディナー中、目の前で歌やフラを披露してくれました。
歌もすごく良くて、今でもはっきり覚えていてファンになりました。
フラをしている男の人がかっこよかったです(笑)
コンサート会場は意外と小さいので、スターがよく見えて良かったです。
終わった後の写真撮影も、好きな人と撮れるので良い思い出になりました。

I participated in the 3:00 PM session. The other participants were all foreigners. The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but they showed us a paper with explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. They also took photos during the parasailing, and you can buy a CD-R with those photos for $30! Speaking of dry riding, you can choose a ride that doesn't involve splashing into the sea, so since we were cold and our bodies were freezing, we opted for dry riding. The staff was very energetic and it was a lot of fun! The ride time was long, and we really enjoyed it!

15:00〜の回に参加しました。
参加者が私達以外外人さんでした。
スタッフの方は日本語NGでしたが、ちゃんと日本語の説明書いてある紙を見せてくれるので安心です。
パラセイル中の写真もとってもらえて、30ドルでその写真が入ったCD-R買うこともできます！
ドライライディングと言えば海にばっしゃんされないライドも選べるので寒くて体が冷え切っていた私達はドライライディングを選択しました。スタッフさんはとてもテンション高くて楽しかった！ライド時間も長くて楽しめました☆

My daughter and her husband went parasailing, and I rode as an observer. The boat captain and another person were both Caucasian, but they explained things in broken Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Next time, I want to try it myself.

娘夫婦がパラセイリングをして、私はオブザーバ（見学者）として乗りました。
ボートキャプテンともう一人は白人の方でしたが、片言に日本語で説明してくれていたので安心できました。
今度は自分が体験してみたいと思いました。

The weather was great, and it felt wonderful to have a panoramic view of Waikiki and the ocean from a high vantage point. It was very enjoyable! I thought being pulled by the boat would be fast and scary, but it was actually a very graceful experience. It was the best. Although they don't speak Japanese, they handled boarding and disembarking smoothly.

However, I felt that adding $30 for photos on top of the price was a bit steep. A friend who used another parasailing tour mentioned that they were able to take pictures with their own camera, so I was a bit disappointed about that. (But after seeing other people's posts recommending the photos, I regret not buying them...)

天気がよく、高いところからワイキキと海を一望できてとても気持ちよく、楽しかったです！！
船で引っ張られるので、速くて怖いのかと思っていましたが、全然そんなことはなく、とても優雅な時間でした。最高です。日本語は通じませんが、乗り降りはスムーズに対応してくれます。
ただ、この値段で写真にプラス３０ドルというのはちょっとお高めかなと。
他のパラセイリングツアーを利用した知人は、自分の持っていったカメラで撮影することができたと言っていたので、その点はちょっと残念でした。（でも他の方の投稿を見ると写真もおすすめと書いてあるので、買えばよかったなと後悔してます...）

My partner and I did the 1200ft, we are so happy we choose the longer one because the couple that went before us only did a short one and wished they spent a bit more money for the longer one. We had the best time! Everyone we dealt with (driver to location, boat crew etc) were all lovely and made sure we had a good time. We def recommend to everyone and we would do it again :)

On my first trip to Hawaii, I chose parasailing to experience something truly Hawaiian. He has a fear of heights, and I'm not a big fan either, so we initially talked about going for 45 meters, but we decided to challenge ourselves and go for 90 meters instead.

We were both nervous before flying... At that time, there were only us and a foreign couple, and without any discussion, we were the first to take off. Before flying, we were offered to take photos for $30, with an explanation that they would give us an SD card. Of course, we agreed.

While we were flying, we were both scared and kept laughing, and maybe because of that, we were swung around quite a bit, and towards the end, there was an unexpected dip into the water that we hadn't requested. The foreign couple on the boat seemed to be flying normally, and they were kissing multiple times, looking quite relaxed. The girl managed to shake her head to refuse the dip just before she was about to fall, so she didn't end up in the water.

Regarding the photos, both of us are DSLR users, so we were a bit disappointed. It was understandable since both the boat and we were shaking, but I thought the full auto setting could have been a bit better... It felt like there were very few decent shots. Maybe we were just being tossed around too much.

All in all, despite being scared, I think we had a great time. Perhaps because there were only two couples, our time in the air was really long!

初めてのハワイで、ハワイらしいことをしようとパラセーリングを選びました。
彼は高所恐怖症で、私もそこまで好きでは無いので最初は45Ｍにしようと話していましたが、せっかくなので90Ｍでチャレンジしてきました。
飛ぶ前から二人とも緊張・・・
私たちと外国人カップルしかそのときはおらず、有無を言わさず最初に私たちが飛ばされました。
飛ぶ前には写真を30ドルで撮って、ＳＤプレゼントと説明ありました。
もちろんお願いしました。
飛んでいるときは二人ともビビってずっと笑っていて、そのせいか、楽しんでいると思われてぐわんぐわん振り回されたり、最後のほうにはお願いしていない海ボチャもありました。
ボートが一緒だった外国人カップルは普通に飛んでいるだけで、外国人カップルは何回もキスして余裕そうでした。
海ボチャも彼女が落ちる寸前に首を振って拒否していたのでギリギリで水には入っていませんでした。
写真については私も彼も一眼レフユーザーということもあり、すこしがっかりしました。
ボートも私たちも揺れているからしょうがないのですが、フルオートにしては少し下手では・・・と思ってしまったり。
まともに写っていうのが少ないように感じました。
私たちが揺らされすぎだったのかもしれませんが。

なんだかんだでビビりながらもすごく楽しめたと思います。
2組しかいなかったせいか、滞空時間もすごく長かったです！

Since I saw it during a trip to Hawaii, I've always wanted to try parasailing. This time, the whole family decided to challenge the 150m flight time. My aunt, who was saying how scary it was, ended up satisfied, thinking that at 90m, with just 3 minutes, she wouldn't have had the chance to enjoy the view and would have to come down scared.

I felt so good that while being pulled up in the air, I arched my back to check the horizon!

By chance, I got to try it a second time, and when I raised my hand first, my mother seemed to want to fly too and was feeling regretful. I highly recommend the 150m!

以前ハワイに行った時に見かけて以来、一度体験してみたかったパラセーリング。
今度こそは！と家族全員、滞空時間が長い150mにチャレンジ。
怖い怖い！と言っていた叔母も、90mだと3分だから逆に怖いまま、景色を見る余裕なく降りるしかなかったかもね....と満足。
私は気持ち良すぎて、空の上から釣られながら、背中をそらせ地平線を確認してしまいました！

そして、偶然にも二度チャレンジ出来ることになって、一番に手をあげたら、母も飛びたかったみたいで、悔しがってました(^^;;
150mがオススメです！

The weather was great, and when we floated up, it was truly breathtaking! The beach and the view were absolutely stunning! It was a floating experience where we could feel the pleasant Hawaiian breeze all over our bodies. The three of us floating in the sky exchanged joyful smiles! When we fell into the sea, we were surprised and laughed out loud! Thank you for the wonderful memories.

天気良く^ ^フワッと上昇したときは圧巻でビーチ＆ヘッドも、まさに絶景！心地よいハワイの風を全身で感じながらの浮遊体験でした。空に浮く3人は顔を見合わせ快感スマイル^ ^‼ 海に落とされたときはドヒャヒャッ!とビックリ。楽しい思い出ありがとうございます。

I danced together with my 3rd-grade daughter and my 77-year-old grandmother. The ascent (probably about 50 meters?) was super fun, but I was scared at 120 meters. My daughter said she was scared too, but my grandmother was "so much fun!!" and was very happy. For those with a fear of heights, the lower ones might be more enjoyable.

I was told the photos would cost $30, and there was a sign on the boat saying "tips are not included..." so when I handed over the money including a tip, they returned the change saying, "You don't need to tip."

The staff were foreigners and didn't understand much Japanese, but they were very kind, which was great.

小学3年の娘と77歳のおばあちゃんと3人一緒に舞いました。
上がっていく過程の（おそらく50メートルくらい？）は超楽しかったですが、120メートルは私は怖かったです。
娘も怖かったと言ってますが、おばあちゃんは「最高に楽しい！！」と大喜びでした。
高所恐怖症の人は、低めの方が楽しいかもしれません。
写真を頼んで30ドルと言われ、ボートに「チップは含まれておりません。。。」という紙が貼ってあったので、チップ込みでお金を渡したら、「チップは要らないです」とおつりを返してくれました。

スタッフさんは外国人の方で日本語はあまり通じなかったけど、とても親切で、良かったです。

We had a great time. There were sea turtles everywhere. We really enjoyed lounging in the nets during the sail portion. Thanks!

My husband is quite large, so at first, he splashed around in the water without flying at all, and when he returned, he just plunged back into the water. I thought I wouldn't get wet, but I ended up soaked from head to toe. However, the view of the sky is amazing.

主人が大柄なので始め水につかったまま全然飛ばす、戻るときも水にドボン。
濡れないかと思っていましたが、頭からビチョビチョになってしまいました。
でも、空の景色は最高です。

We flew with two adults and one child.
Even though it was 120 meters, it felt very high.
The child got motion sickness before flying, so it might be better to take motion sickness medication before participating.

大人２人＋子供１人で飛びました。
120Mとはいえ、とても高く感じました。
子供は飛ぶ前に酔ってしまったので、酔い止めを飲んでの参加のほうがいいかもしれません。

It was a wonderful experience, like flying in the sky.
You can walk there from Hilton.
I flew once with my two young children and their father.

空を飛んでいるような素晴らしい経験でした。
ヒルトンからなら歩いて行けます。
小学校低学年子供二人と父親と三人で一度に飛びました。

We gathered at 5 PM and entered the venue, but the actual start was around 6:30 PM, so we waited quite a while. Considering that, the show was just okay. I shouldn't compare it to the Polynesian Center's show, but the show itself lasted about 30 minutes, and the content was better at the Polynesian Center. However, it was nice to see it in Waikiki. The show was on a rooftop, and since it was April, it was pretty cold. The food was decent.

１７時集合で会場入りしたのですが実際のスタートは１８３０頃でずいぶん待ちました。
の、割にはショーはイマイチ。
ポリネシアンセンターのショーと比べたらいけないですがショー自体の時間は３０分くらいでショー内容もポリネシアンセンターの方がよかったです。
でもワイキキの中でみられるのはよかったです。ビルの屋上でのショーで４月でしたのでけっこう寒かったです。
食事はまあまあです。
