All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

This is my second time participating. The first time was many years ago, so I thought I would join again. I believe the quality was still high and wonderful. It included a VIP dinner, and the food was delicious, which made me very satisfied. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have one more person... or to have been able to watch a little longer.

2回目の参加です。1回目はもう何年も前なので、もう一度参加してみようと思いました。変わらず質は高くすばらしかったと思います。VIPディナー付きでしたが、お料理もおいしくて大変満足しました。欲を言えば、もう1人・・とか、もう少し長く見てたかったです。

I managed to persuade my scared wife to take on the challenge together. The local guide spoke a bit of Japanese, so I wasn't too anxious. It was a 90-meter course, and they controlled it very well. I was screaming the whole time during the parasailing, but by the end, I wished I could have flown longer. On the way back to the yacht harbor, they even showed us dolphins. They took 96 photos for $30. The tip was about $10 per person.
It was amazing! Next time, I want to try the 150-meter course.

怖がる妻を何とか説得して二人でチャレンジしました。ガイド（現地）方も片言の日本語ができていたので、そんなに不安はありませんでした。９０ｍのコースでしたが、上手にコントロールしてくれました。パラセイリング中はずっと絶叫していましたが、終わりごろは、もっと飛んでいたかったくらいです。ヨットハーバーに帰る途中にイルカも見せてくれました。写真も３０ドルで９６枚撮影してくれました。チップは一人１０ドル程度でした。
　最高でした！今度は、１５０ｍ位に挑戦してみたいです。

We were really excited to do this tour! When we got there the tour guides were very friendly and chill. When we got out to where we were snorkeling I had a bit of a freak out when I got into the water. I looked down and saw so many fish under my feet! The one tour guide came over and helped me overcome my fear. I got in and out of the boat many times. We also saw so many turtles! After snorkeling we went on a nice sail while enjoying some well deserved drinks. All in all this was a fabulous for the price point of the tour! I would totally do this again!

The stunning and graceful Hawaiian women performing hula captivated not only me, a man, but surely all the audience members. In particular, that unique hip-swaying dance was both alluring and truly representative of traditional hula. The highlight was the male dancers' fire performances, which are said to be acrobatic. That scene is still vividly etched in my mind; it was that impressive. The next time I visit Hawaii, I definitely want to make sure to see this luau show again.

容姿端麗で、可憐なハワイアン女性のフラダンスに魅了されたのは、男性の私だけでなくすべての観客が感じていたことでしょう。特に、あの独特の腰を振る踊りはなまめかしくもあり、これこそ伝統のフラダンスと言えるでしょう。圧巻は、男性踊りの火を使った曲芸とも言われるもの。いまだにこの光景が脳裡にしっかりと焼き就いています。それだけ印象的だったのです。次回もハワイを訪れた際には、このルアウショウだけは必ず観賞したいと思っています。

This was my third time in Hawaii, but my first cruise.
I made the reservation online, and the duration was only two hours, which was short and convenient.
The price was reasonable, and it had good reviews.
The meeting point was easy to find since it was at the hotel beach.
I read online reviews and thought it would be rocky and wet, so I didn't bring my DSLR camera, but it didn't rock or get wet at all.

There were only foreign groups and couples; we were the only Japanese family.
I had anticipated this from the reviews I read beforehand.
The explanations were all in English, so I could only understand them through nuance, but both crew members were cheerful nice guys.
With free drinks and pleasant music playing, the view of Waikiki, Diamond Head, and the changing beauty of the sunset from the sea was truly wonderful.
My daughters made friends with participants from a tour from Australia and seemed to realize the importance of learning English.

I had a great experience at the end of the trip.
I thought I would like to go on this cruise again on my next trip.

ハワイは3回目ですが、初クルーズでした。
ネットで予約出来て、時間も2時間と拘束時間が短く、
料金も手頃で評判が良いものにしました。
待ち合わせの場所もホテルのビーチなのでわかりやすかったです。
ネットでの評判を読んで、揺れて濡れると思って一眼レフカメラを
持って行かなかったのですが、全然揺れも濡れもしませんでした。

外国人の団体やカップルばかりで、日本人ファミリーは私たちだけでした。
これも事前の評判でよんでいたので、想定内でした。
説明が全て英語だったので、ニュアンスでしか理解できなかったのですが、
クルーは2人とも陽気なナイスガイで、フリードリンクで
心地よいミュージックも流れ、何より海上から見るワイキキの街や
ダイヤモンドヘッド、刻々と変わるサンセットの美しさは
非常に素晴らしかったです。
娘たちはオーストラリアからのツアー参加者と友達になり、
英語を学ぶ大切さを身をもって感じてくれた様子です。

旅の最後にとても良い体験が出来ました。
次の旅行でもまた乗りたいなと思いました。

I participated in the 3 PM session. Like everyone else's experiences, we were the only Japanese people, and everything was conducted in English. It seemed that there were many acquaintances of the crew, possibly due to the low number of customers.

Because of that, the splashing service was intense, and we ended up completely soaked. My husband's beer apparently didn't taste like seawater.

I didn't drink, but being soaked and drinking would make me want to go to the bathroom, so it seemed tough for my husband.

The experience was thrilling, a bit chaotic, and had a foreign vibe that was interesting. I would like to ride again.

15時の回に参加しました。　皆様の体験談　同様　私達の時も日本人は私達だけで　
全て　英語で話しが進み　お客さんが少ないのか　船員さんのお知り合いが　沢山いらっしゃったようです。　　

そのせいか　水しぶきサービスが　半端なく　全身びじょびじょで　主人の持っていた
ビールは　海水の味しなかったらしいです。

わたしは　飲みませんでしたが　びしょ濡れで飲むとトイレに行きたくなるので　主人は　大変そうでした。

体験は　スリルもあり　なーなーさもあり　外国っぽくて面白かったです。
また　乗ってみたいです。

During summer vacation, my family of three participated. My husband and our 10-year-old son did the flying, while I rode along as an observer on the motorboat. My son, who was feeling anxious, was held by his father like a kangaroo and soared into the blue sky of Oahu, returning with a big smile on his face. On the way back on the plane, when I asked, "What was the most fun thing in Hawaii?" he said, "Parasailing!" Next time, I want to challenge myself at the highest height. We shared the motorboat with several groups and took turns flying, but even while others were flying, it felt wonderful to ride the boat with the wind in my face against the backdrop of Diamond Head. The location is just a short walk from the Hilton Hotel.

夏休みに、家族三人で参加しました。
飛ぶのは、主人と10歳の息子。私は、見学者として一緒にモーターボートに乗りました。
不安がっていた息子ですが、カンガルーのように父に抱っこされる感じで、オアフの青い空に舞い上がっていき、満面の笑顔で戻ってきました。
帰りの飛行機で、「ハワイで何が一番楽しかった？」ときくと、「パラセイリング！」だったそう。
今度は、1番長い高さで、私も挑戦してみたいと思います。
モーターボートには、数組一緒に乗り、順番に飛ぶのですが、他の人がとんでる間も、ダイアモンドヘッドをバックに風を受けながらボートに乗るのはとっても気持ちよかったです。
場所は、ヒルトンホテルのすぐ裏の海で歩いていけます。

I thought I would see a lot of fish since it was a submarine, but there were no fish at all, and I was just looking at the seabed. It's better not to expect any fish.

潜水艦だったのでたくさんの魚が見れると思ったのですが
全く魚がおらずただただ海底を見ているだけでした
魚は期待しないほうがいいです。

It was truly refreshing once we set sail from the beach! We went as far as we could see the views of Hawaii Kai and then turned back. As we headed west, the sun began to set, and we were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset. It was the perfect moment while sipping on a Mai Tai. I would love to participate again.

浜から沖へ出て、セイリングが始まってからは、爽快そのものでした！ハワイカイの景色が見えるあたりまで行って引き返し、西に向かった頃から太陽が沈み始め最高の夕陽も鑑賞できました。マイタイを傾けながらの最高のひと時でした。また参加したいと思っています。

You can get a sticker based on the flight distance. First, we started with the 300 feet group. Once the other group of 300 feet finished, it was finally our turn for the 800 feet. However, three-person equipment was installed, and my husband and daughter (800 feet) were called to the center. On either side were couples from the 300 feet group. Indeed, the rope and time were longer than the 300 feet.

It’s not that we were deceived; we were definitely flying at 800 feet. But it’s a mystery why we were grouped with those who had the 300 feet sticker. Essentially, it seems like they benefited from this arrangement. Even though we were a couple, we couldn’t sit next to each other, which felt like an awkward upgrade from 300 to 800 feet. I didn’t ask since I wasn’t losing out, but it felt a bit haphazard.

My husband and daughter who flew said it was incredibly exhilarating! According to my daughter, it was the most fun she had during this trip to Hawaii. She’s saying she wants to fly again, so as an activity, it was fantastic!

飛行距離によって、手にシールを付けられる。
最初、300feetの方から。
もうひと組の300feetの方々が終わったら、いよいよ私たち800feet。
と思いきや３人用金具が取り付けられ、主人と娘（800feet）が呼ばれ真中に。
両脇に300feetのカップルが其々。。確かに紐と時間は、300feetより長い。

騙されたわけでもなく、ちゃんと800feet飛んではいるのだろうが
何故300feetのシールを付けた方々と一緒か謎。。。要はこの方々が得をしてる、という。
カップルなのに、隣同士出来なくてごめんね、的な意味合いでおまけで300→800へのグレードアップなのか。
自分が損してるわけでないのであえて聞かなかったが、なんか適当だな、と思いました。

飛んだ主人＆娘は、最高に気持ち良かったと！
娘曰く、今回のハワイで一番楽しかったそうです♪
また飛びたい、と言ってるのでアクティビティとしては最高です！

We had heard really great things about Girls Who Surf so had picked them for our very first surf lesson. One downside is that apparently it is impossible to actually get a female instructor which makes you wonder about the name of the group. Our instructor was Warren and he did a good job of explaining what all to do and then took us into the water. I was horrible at it and opted to sit out and let my husband finish the course instead and he actually ended up doing rather well. They took photos for us and since we were such bad surfers and there were so few photos they gave us a discount on the photo package. Both Warren and the photographer were really nice. Only possible negative of the outing is that even though we had provided height/weight info ahead of time they did not bring a board big enough for my husband and had to go get another board which delayed the start of our lesson. Wasn't a big problem since the weather was nice and we basically just sat on the beach waiting.

I signed up for the highest jump at 150 meters among all the groups that flew together. Strangely, I felt no fear at all, and it was definitely the right choice to go for 150 meters. The view of Waikiki, the ocean of Hawaii, and the horizon from above the sea was all breathtaking. I also asked for photos, and when I said in Katakana English, "Please take a lot of pictures!! ♪", they ended up taking 118 shots for me. Since they provided the data on a 4GB memory card, I thought $30 was quite a bargain, and I really felt it was worth it because they used a proper DSLR with a telephoto lens. For some reason, our group was also given the special service of dipping a little into the water, which made me feel like I got a great deal (laughs).

一緒の時間に飛んだ全グループの中で一番高い１５０ｍで申し込みました。不思議なことに怖さは全く感じず、１５０ｍで大正解でした。海の上空から見るワイキキ、ハワイの海、水平線、すべてが感動的でした。写真もお願いしまして、カタカナ英語で「たくさん撮ってください！！♪」と言ってみたら、118枚も撮って下さっていました。４ＧＢのメモリーカードにデータを入れて頂けるので、それで３０ドルは安かったなと思いますし、きちんとした一眼の望遠レンズで撮って下さったので頼んでよかったと本当に思います。なぜかうちのグループだけ水面にちょこっと落としてくださるサービスをしていただき、大変得した気分でした(笑)

We participated as a couple. Since we had taken a different surfing lesson the day before, we were a bit tired and left a little early with more than enough time. We also received T-shirts, which made for a nice memento.

夫婦で参加しました。
前日、違うサーフィンレッスンに参加したので疲れが残っていたのと十分すぎるくらいの時間で少し早めに上がらせてもらいました。
Tシャツも頂けて、良い記念になりました。

We participated as a couple. It was my wife's first time surfing, but since it was a private lesson, she felt at ease. The conversation in English was slow, and they paid attention to our reactions, so it wasn't a problem for us, even though we couldn't speak much. With their excellent support, we were able to stand up from the very beginning, and we were very satisfied with the different views and sensations of the ocean.

夫婦で参加しました。
妻は始めてのサーフィンでしたがプライベートレッスンだったので安心して臨めました。
英語での会話もゆっくり、こちらの反応を見て下さるのでほとんど喋れない私たちでも問題なかったです。
絶妙なフォローで最初から立つことも出来て、今までと違った海の景色と感覚に大満足でした。

My wife and daughter (12 years old) had their first experience. Both of them were able to stand on the board and ride the waves, and they were very happy. On the way back, they even said, "I wish there were a few more big waves," which shows how impressed they were. They mentioned they definitely want to experience it again. At the beginning, there was an explanation in Japanese on the beach, which made us feel at ease even though we didn't understand English. I was just observing, but there were no additional fees, and I was able to relax and watch under a beach umbrella.

家内と娘（１２歳）が、初めての体験。２人ともボードに立って、波を乗り越えることができて、とても喜んでいました。帰り際には、「もうちょっと高い波があればいいのに」というぐらい感激。是非、また体験したいと言っていました。説明も最初、ビーチで日本語で説明があり、英語のわからない我々も安心して体験できました。また、私は見学だけだったのですが、特に追加料金も無く、ビーチパラソルの下で、ゆっくり見学することが出来ました。

Participated with my husband and two boys (9 & 10). My children and I were nervous at first. But the two guides were awesome and very friendly. They explained the rules and prepared us for our tandem rides. Once we were up in the air the nerves went away.The view was so breathtaking. One of the guides also took some amazing photos of the whole experience (for purchase). I will definitely use Hawaiian Parasail again.

You can enjoy a luxurious time on the boat that you can't experience in Japan. This was my second time using the service, and no matter how many times I go, watching the sunset slowly while enjoying music, the breeze, and drinks on the boat is the best experience. There are many guests, and at first, you sit in a designated spot, but once you're out at sea, you can move around freely. Please make sure to experience that moment at least once.

とにかく日本では味わえない優雅な時間を船の上で過ごせます。
今回2回目の利用でしたが、何度行っても船上での音楽、風、お酒がある中でゆっくりと夕日が沈んでいくのを眺めるのは最高の時間です。
たくさんの利用客がおられ、最初は決まったところに座りますが沖へでれば自由に移動できます。
是非一度あの瞬間を味わってください。

My first time in Hawaii!! Sailing is a must!
I chose the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran from various options.
The sea breeze cutting through the wind felt amazing, and I was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat.
Seeing turtles and dolphins up close was truly moving! (^^)!

I also love the photos taken before boarding! They make a great memory.

I even recommended it to complete strangers! (^^)!
If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate!

初めてのハワイ！！セーリングは外せない！
いろんなオプションの中から選んだワイキキリガー・カタマラン号
風を切って走る海風はとても気持ちよく
船上から見えるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色にも大満足ですが
まじかで見るカメやイルカには感動しました!(^^)!

乗船前に撮ってもらった写真も気に入ってます！！いい記念になります。

全く知らない人にも勧めてしまいました!(^^)!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対参加します！

It was amazing. I was able to see the streets of Waikiki and the beautiful ocean from above. The height didn't feel as high as I expected, but it felt like I was a bird. I want to do it again. I also got to take a lot of pictures.

最高です。空の上からワイキキの街並みとキレイな海を眺めることができました。高さは思ったよりはあまり高く感じませんでしたが、鳥になった気分です。またやりたいです。写真もたくさんとってもらいました。

Even though I can't speak English, I received polite lessons! The instructor and the person who came to pick me up were both foreigners, but everyone was kind, and I had a great time surfing♪ I participated alone, but I highly recommend it!

英語がしゃべれない私でも丁寧にLessonをして頂きました！
インストラクターの人も、お迎えに来て頂いた方も外国人ですが
みなさん優しい方でサーフィンも楽しくできました♪
ひとりで参加しましたが、おすすめです！

The pickup was on time, and we were brought by trolley. We were the only Japanese among those who boarded the boat, and the others were native speakers, so it was quite challenging to keep up with the English. However, the staff managed to convey the important points in broken Japanese, which helped a lot. I took motion sickness medication, but I still got quite seasick, and the second half was tough because I felt nauseous. The parasailing itself was very enjoyable.

お迎えは時間通り、トロリーで来てくれました。一緒にボートに乗った中で日本人は私たちだけで、他の方はネイティブだったので英語についていくのはかなり大変でしたが、大事なとこだけはスタッフが片言の日本語で言ってくれたのでなんとかなりました。酔い止めをのんで行ったけど、それでもかなり船酔いして、後半は気持ち悪くて大変でした。パラセイリング自体はとても楽しかったです。

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

This was an awesome trip! My daughter and I were a little nervous but it was totally safe and the crew were great! Very friendly and very funny! We would definitely go on this trip with this company again!

You absolutely should do it! Highly recommended!! You should definitely buy the photos taken!! It was so much fun that my husband ended up giving them $10 without thinking about it, haha. We had a wonderful experience☆

絶対やった方が良いです!おすすめ!!
撮っていただいた写真も買うべきです!!
本当に楽しすぎて、
旦那さんは思わず１０ドルも
渡してしまったほどですww
素敵な体験が出来ました☆

This was the best para-sailing experience we have, we already para-sailed before in Cabo but it was not as good as the Hawaiian Para-sail. I would recommend this to anyone para sailing for the first time or experienced people. The tour guides were amazing as well.

I participated as a VIP, and I highly recommend the VIP course for this tour. The show while enjoying wine was quite impressive. I will recommend it to my friends.

VIPで参加しました、このツアーはVIPコースがおすすめですね、ワインを飲みながらのショーはなかなかの迫力でした。
友達にもすすめます。

We had Lots of fun. The Crew of two worked well together and was very friendly and kept the Mai Tai's coming. I loved the choice of music as we sailed. This is a must do !!

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

We signed up for a fun activity for our family of four on the afternoon we arrived in Hawaii. I was worried we might be too tired, but it turned out to be such an enjoyable tour that those feelings disappeared. We were the only Japanese participants, but every time someone took off, both the staff and the others around us got excited. The staff were lively and skillfully entertained us while driving, making it a tour filled with laughter. Seeing Hawaii from above is amazing! While waiting for the boat, there aren't many covered areas, so I recommend bringing a hat and drinks.

今回は家族４人でアクティブに遊ぶという目的で、ハワイに着いた日の午後に申し込みました。疲れて大丈夫かな。と思っていましたが、そんな気持ちも吹き飛んじゃうほど楽しいツアーでした。日本人は私達だけでしたが、誰かが飛ぶたびに、スタッフの方も周りの方も盛り上がり、スタッフの方はきびきびしながらも、巧みに運転しながら楽しませてくれるので、笑いっぱなしのツアーでした。ハワイを空の上から見るのは最高です！船が来るのを待っているときは屋根のあるところが少ないので、帽子や飲み物など持って行くといいと思います。

We, a couple in our 40s, had our first experience with paddle surfing. The weather was great, and we set out from the beach of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, walking in the waters of Waikiki with our instructor and photographer. Although we fell into the sea several times due to our lack of skill, the scenery was stunning and left us in awe. We also had many photos taken, which became wonderful keepsakes.

４０代夫婦でパドルサーフィン初体験でした。天候が良く、ロイヤルハワイアンホテルのビーチから出てインストラクターやカメラマンとワイキキの海を散歩しました。下手で何度も海に落ちましたが景色が素晴らしく感激しました。写真もたくさん撮影していただき記念になりました。
