All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

The seat in the very front and center was great. The tribute artist's live performance was very enjoyable. I wish I could have seen some artists from the 60s. I would have liked to see more variety of artists.

一番前の真ん中の良い席で、大変良かったです。そっくりさんのライブとても楽しかったです。60年代のアーチストも見たかったかな？いろいろなアーチストをもっとやってほしかったです。

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.

あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

We had a great time parasailing over the beautiful blue waters!!! The crew was amazing, very friendly and funny which made the experience even more fun!!! This is a must if you are visiting Oahu... The sights are magnificent!

I boarded a mixed bus from the Heideman office at the Waikiki Grand Hotel and headed to the beach. Everyone except me was part of a group, so I felt a bit lonely, but once I got into the water, it didn't matter about the group. I paddled on my own to reach the instructor, and when the waves came, they helped me. The instructor mentioned that if you're not used to paddling, it's difficult to ride the waves on your own.

The approximately two-hour lesson flew by, and depending on your stamina, you can ride the waves quite a bit! Since it's a less crowded beach (with a reef below), you can enjoy it without worry, and I highly recommend it.

All the explanations were in English.

ワイキキグランドホテルにあるヒーデマンのオフィスから混合バスに乗り込み、ビーチへ。私以外は皆グループで参加していたので少し心細かったですが、海に入ってしまえば、グループも何もありません。自力でパドルして、インストラクターの元に行き、波が来たら押してもらいます。インストラクターが普段からパドル慣れしていないと、自力で波に乗るのは難しいと言っていました。
約2時間のレッスンはあっという間でした体力次第でバンバン波に乗れますよー
人気の少ないビーチ（下がリーフ）なので、心おきなく出来ますし、オススメです

説明は全部英語でしたー

great expierence....we spent a great time with beautifull people!!!

I was wondering what it would be like at 130 meters above ground, but the bright blue sky and ocean, the towering Diamond Head in the distance, and the cityscape of Honolulu, along with the round horizon, created a view that was even more amazing than I imagined!! I had a blast on the boat, especially with some playful performances that involved getting splashed with seawater ^_−☆

上空130mなんてどうなることかと思ってたけど、真っ青の空と海、遠くにそびえるダイヤモンドヘッドとホノルルの街並み、そして丸い地平線と想像以上に素晴らしい景色で最高でした！！海水にわざとつけられたり、ちょっといたずらなパフォーマンスで船上でもめっちゃ楽しめました^_−☆

I wanted to see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, so I joined a catamaran tour. The sailing lasted an hour and a half, and we went quite far out. The sea changed from emerald green to deep blue... Since I joined at 3:00, there were few people, and I sat in a netted area, but when the waves came, I got soaked. Our family was the only Japanese group, and although we couldn't speak English, we somehow felt like we made friends by just saying "wow" and "yay." My face and hair got all salty and messy from the seawater and sea breeze, but it was a lot of fun. (However, if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a bit tough.)

ワイキキのホテル群を海から見たい、カタマランに乗りたいと思って参加しました。　１時間半のセイリングなので、だいぶ沖の方まで連れて行ってくれました。　海はエメラルドグリーンから紺碧の色に…　　３：００からの参加だったからか、人数が少なく、網の状態の場所に座りましたが、波が来ると、ビショビショになります。　日本人は我々家族だけで、英語は話せませんが「ワーキャー」言っていると何となくお友達になれたような気分になりました。　海水と潮風で、顔も髪の毛もバリバリ（？）になりましたが、とても楽しかったです。　（ただし、乗り物に弱い方はちょっとつらいかもしれません。）

Friendly aloha spirit all around. If you're in Hawaii, then try surfing!! These guys are the best around by far. They take you away from the crowded side of Waikiki and truly give you a great lesson.

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ～って感じでした。

I was wondering if such a large canoe could ride the waves, but I was completely wrong! It rides the waves over a longer distance than regular surfing. The exhilaration of riding the waves while looking at Diamond Head in the waters of Hawaii is incredibly refreshing!

Just follow the captain's simple instructions: paddle or rest, that's all. You don't need to speak English to enjoy it!

こんな大きなカヌーが波に乗るのか？なんて思っていましたが、大間違い！
ふつうのサーフィンよりも長い距離波に乗ります。
ハワイの海でダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら波に乗る爽快感は抜群に気持ち良いです！

キャプテンの簡単な指示に従って、漕ぐか休むか、それだけ。英語が出来なくても大丈夫です！

I used the four-day ticket again this year. Although the routes have changed, it was truly convenient. I was able to visit the long-awaited farmers' market and hike Diamond Head using just this trolley. Even though it's a four-day ticket, it can be used anytime during my stay, allowing for flexible use over the six days.

今年も４日間チケットで使いました。
路線が変わったりもしていますが、本当に重宝です。
念願のファーマーズマーケットやダイアモンドヘッド登山もこのトロリーだけで行く事が出来ました。
今年も４日チケットとはいえ滞在中の４日分いつでも使用可能なので６日間中不連続で使用できて使い勝手があります。

Fantastic trip, heaps of turtles to look at and even better cocktails after the snorkel. I would recommend this tour to everyone who enjoys to get in the water

We participated with a total of seven people. I wouldn't recommend it for those who get seasick, but for those who are okay with it, I definitely encourage you to join. The staff were very kind (they only speak English). Above all, the scenery is beautiful. It's only a few hours, so it's a fantastic experience that won't interfere with other schedules. I absolutely recommend it!!

総勢7名で参加しました。船酔いする方にはお勧めしませんが、OKな方には是非参加してほしいです。スタッフの方々もとっても親切（英語しか話せないスタッフですよー）。なんと言っても、景色がキレイ。ほんの数時間なので、他のスケジュールの邪魔にならないサイコーの体験です。ぜったいお勧め！！

It was very pleasant.
Since it was a catamaran, the sea water was right in front of us, and the sunset was amazing.

There were about 30 participants, with around 7 Japanese people.
There was also an elderly person (probably of American descent) who was using a cane.
Be careful as you have to climb a few steps up a steep ladder.
The instructions were only in English, but it was manageable even if you didn't understand everything.

During the sailing, it felt really nice.
I was sitting in the front row, but here the sea water splashed up from below,
and my T-shirt got completely soaked from the spray.
It's best to wear clothes over your swimsuit.
(The front half of the yacht has a net at the feet.)

Even in summer, it was cold when splashed with water.
A windbreaker or something similar is necessary.

とても気持良かったです。
カタマランなので、海の水が目の前にあり、最高のサンセットでした。

参加していたのは、３０人位で、日本人は7人位ですね。
杖をついている年配の（多分米国系）の方も参加されていました。
急な、梯子を数段上るので、注意です。
説明は、英語のみでしたが、判らなくても何とかなりました。

セイリング中は、とても気持よかったです。
最前列の座っていましたが、ここは下から海の水がかかり、
スプレーでティーシャツがビショビショになりました。
水着の上に服を着ているのが、正解です。
（ヨットの前半分の足元はネットになっています）

夏でも、水をかぶると寒いくらいでした。
ウィンドブレーカー等が必要ですね。

The weather was really nice, and overall it was amazing. The scenery and the color of the sea were truly beautiful, and I wanted to fly again. It felt natural and wasn't scary at all, both during takeoff and landing. The crew was friendly and had a great vibe, making it a lot of fun!!

天気がとても良く、とにかく最高でした。景色も海の色も本当にきれいで、また飛びたいと思いました。飛ぶ時も降りるときも自然で怖くありませんでした。船の方も親切でノリもよく、楽しかったです！！

It was my second parasailing experience, and it was just as great as before!!! However, last time they burned the photos onto a CD and sold them, but this time it was a rental format where I had to copy the data myself, which was disappointing... But I took a ton of pictures with my own digital camera!!! The view from the sky was amazing!!

2回目のパラセイリング体験でしたが、やはりとてもよかった！！！
ただ、前回は撮ってくれた写真のデータをCDに焼いて売ってくれましたが
今回は、データをレンタルで自分でコピーして下さい形式で残念でした。。。
でも自分のデジカメで撮りまくったので！！！
空中からの眺め、最高でした！！

We actually are a family with kids in their 20s but no option for that. We had a wonderful time. the weather was perfect and the water conditions were pretty clear. The turtles were magnificent but there was other wildlife as well--Spinner dolphins, Flying fish, etc. The cruise after the snorkeling was equally as fun. Our captain also had a great choice of music playing. The time went so fast--took the morning cruise which still left us the rest of the day for the beach. Would recommend this to anyone. My only precaution--if you have a anyone in your party with issues of climbing or would not be comfortable walking or sitting on the net of the catamaran you may not enjoy this. We loved it!

Recently, my mother, younger brother, and I (in our 20s) participated in this activity.

It was great to see the views of Waikiki while sailing. However, when we arrived at the snorkeling spot, the water was quite deep, and my mother and I felt very scared as soon as we entered the water. We ended up getting back on the boat in less than a minute. My brother, who has diving experience, enjoyed it until the end.

I thought I was prepared based on the experiences I read about, but I was surprised that the snorkeling was in a very deep area rather than a shallow one, and I questioned whether it was appropriate to only have a floatation device at that depth. There was no practice with life jackets or snorkeling, so it might be difficult for those who are trying it for the first time and are not familiar with the sensation. As a snorkeling beginner, I regretted not choosing a safer tour since it was a special trip. I also regret that I caused my mother to feel fear.

If you want to participate but are not confident in your swimming skills, I think you should consider this carefully. The ocean was very beautiful, so it might be a good option for those who just want to enjoy sailing.

先日、母・弟・私（20代）の3人で参加しました。

セーリングでワイキキの景色を見れるのはとても良かったです。
ですが、シュノーケルの場所まで到着した際はかなり水深があり　母と私は海に入った瞬間とても怖くなりました。。（1分も経たずに船へ上がってしまいました＞＜）弟はダイビング経験がある為　最後まで楽しんでいましたが。

体験談を参考に参加したつもりでしたが、浅瀬の方ではなくかなり深い場所でのシュノーケルだったことやあの深さで浮き棒しかないのはどうかと思いました。。ライフジャケット、シュノーケルの練習等は無しでいきなり始まりますので　初めてで感覚が掴めない方には難しいかもしれません。シュノーケル初心者だからこそ、せっかくの旅行ですので、安全なツアーに参加すればよかったと思いました。母にも恐怖心を与えてしまったのも後悔です。。

もし泳ぎに自信がないけど参加したい、という方は考慮したほうが良いと思います。海はとってもきれいだったので、セーリングだけたのしみたい方にはいいかもしれません。

The day I participated was cloudy, with occasional rain, making it a bit chilly to enter the sea. I went to the meeting place, but there were no signs and no one who looked like they were part of the group... I felt anxious. Eventually, some people who seemed to be participants began to gather, and after some time, a person holding a sign arrived. I felt relieved... The guide spoke in English, so it might be difficult for those who are completely new to snorkeling. However, if you watch the movements of the people around you, you'll be fine. The sea turtles and fish were very beautiful! For those who are not good with the cold, it would be better on a hot day, but the wind from sailing after getting out of the sea can be chilly. I think it's a good idea to prepare long sleeves or a hoodie. If you are prone to seasickness or cannot swim, it might be better to avoid this activity.

参加した日は曇り空で、時々雨も降り、海に入るには少し肌寒い日でした。集合場所に行ったものの、看板もなく、それらしい人もいない…不安。そのうち参加者らしい人たちが集まり始め、その人たちと一緒にいると、時間を過ぎてから看板を持った人がやってきました。ホッとした…。ガイドは英語なので、シュノーケリングが全く初めての人には分かりにくいかも。でも周りの人たちの動きを見ていれば、大丈夫です。ウミガメ、魚たち、とてもきれいでした♪寒いのが苦手な方、暑い日なら良いのですが、海から上がった後のセーリングの風は体が冷えます。長袖やパーカーを用意しておくと良いと思います。船酔いしやすい方、泳げない方は避けたほうがいいかな。

I had always wanted to try it at least once, and I finally made it happen in Hawaii. Unlike Japan, the power of the waves was different, and surprisingly, I was able to stand up on the board right away. I had to paddle in time with the waves, but after two or three times, my arms became too tired, and each time, the coach pushed me from behind, allowing me to stand up multiple times, which was amazing.

Lastly, when I was being taken back, the hotel was WHITE SANDS HOTEL, but we took a long detour through Ala Wai and passed by Hilton, and I was dropped off on Kuhio Street, which wasted a lot of time. I thought they would drop me off first.

If it weren't for that, I would have given it a perfect score.

一度はやってみたいと思っていましたが、やっとハワイで実現できました。日本と違って波の力が、違うの為？可なんと、一発で立つことができました。波にあわせてこがなけばいけないのですが、2、3回もすると腕が上がらなくなり、その度にコーチが後ろから押してくれ何回も立てることができ最高でした。
最後に、帰りに送ってもらう時にホテルは、WHITE SANDS HOTELでしたが、アラワイを、通りヒルトン等を通り、クヒオ通りで降ろされメチャクチャ遠回りになり、時間が無駄になりました。最初に下ろしてくれるかなと思ったのですが。
これさえなければ、満点をあげるところでした。

The staff were all very friendly, and they entertained us by speaking in Japanese and our broken English, even though we couldn't speak English well☆

They took a lot of photos for us, and the view from the high spots was amazing‼ The way they maneuvered so that our bodies didn't touch the sea and only our feet were in the water was truly impressive‼ If we ever go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to join this tour again꒰*´艸｀*꒱

お店の方全員がとても感じが良く、英語の話せない私たちを日本語や私たちの片言英語でも話してくれ楽しませてくれました☆

写真も沢山撮ってくださり、高い所も景色も良く最高でした‼
体が海につかないように足だけつけてくれる操縦は本当に感動しました‼
また是非ハワイにいく事があったらこのツアーには参加したいです꒰*´艸｀*꒱

Well there are no seats and you have to climb to get in and sit on floor, then they sail and you can move around. We thought there would be seats, but this only had benches. You have to be fit. We thought we could take my grandson, when we got there he couldn't possibly go. Also it's the Outrigger II, not the Outrigger. We showed up at Outrigger and were told it's a 10 minute walk. We are very unhappy. We bought 8 tix and 3 people didn't go and 2 who went got sea sick. There should be warnings as to what you are getting into.

On the morning of August 3rd, around 8 AM, we went from in front of the Hyatt to Diamond Head. The driver's talk was excellent. I want to rate this as the best part of the trip. It was so much fun.

8月3日早朝8時代、ハイアット前からダイヤモンドヘッドに行きました。
ドライバーのトークが最高でした。
今回の旅行で一番をつけたいです。とても楽しかったです。

I participated last year and it was so great that I'm joining for the second time this year. The location is at Hilton Hawaiian Village, so it's very convenient to walk from Waikiki.

The show is all in English, but it's enjoyable.

While waiting for the luau to start, the sunset from the Hilton's lagoon is very beautiful, so just looking at the scenery is never boring.

It seems like this will become an annual tradition for our family.

昨年参加してとても良かったので、今回２度目の参加です。
場所もヒルトンハワイアンビレッジにあるので、ワイキキからお散歩がてら歩いて行けるのでとても便利です。

ショーはすべて英語ですが楽しめます。

ルアウが始まるまでの待ち時間も、ヒルトンのラグーンからは夕日がとてもきれいに見えるので、景色を眺めているだけでも飽きません。

我が家では毎年恒例の行事になりそうです。

I had so many questions about this tour that I called Veltra 7 times- and each time the gentleman was kind and courteous and told me to call back if I had any more questions. It was easy dealing with this company and very affordable.
Thank you for making this experience memorable. My whole family thanks you!

I took group surfing lesson. The instructor was very helpful and kind. He put me in as many waves and I had a great time! I'd like to try to take the lesson again!!!

I participated with my mother and two daughters (11 and 16 years old). I was anxious because I didn't understand the language, but they taught us well with gestures. My mother could only stand for about three seconds, but my daughters were able to ride the waves well. I highly recommend it!

母と娘２人(11歳16歳)と参加しました。言葉も分からず不安でしたが身振り手振りでしっかりおしえてくれました。母は３秒くらいしか立てませんでしたが娘達はしっかり波に乗れてました。おすすめです！

I had a really good time on the Waikiki Rigger. Great staff, great drinks, fun folks onboard the boat, nice music! It was a little cloudy out at times and rained on us for a bit, but just looking at the city while in the water, the beautiful shots of Diamond Head Cater, other boats passing us make for a truly fun evening. I had a great time and something again that didn't tie up your whole evening. I hope do this again in a heartbeat!

WE HAD A GREAT TIME IT WAS OUR FIRST TIME PARASAILING AND WERE NOT SURE IF WE WOULS LIKE IT OR NOT, BUT THE BOAT CREW & CAPT DAVIE WERE GREAT AND MADE US FEEL AT EASE. ALL 3 OF US LOVED IT!!
