All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

Out of this world! Everything and more than what we had hoped. Certainly an activity for all ages, young and old.

We took a boat from Waikiki out to sea and transferred to a submarine.

The sea around Waikiki had waves, and I got seasick on the boat to the submarine. If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking medication in advance.

The underwater scenery is very beautiful, and it's recommended for those who can't swim (or dive). We were lucky enough to see sea turtles and sharks. It was great to see the clear, beautiful ocean.

When the submarine surfaced and submerged, it was really cool. A must-see!

ワイキキから船で沖へ行き潜水艦に乗換え。

ワイキキの海は波があり、潜水艦までの船で船酔いをしました。酔いやすい方は事前に酔い止めを。

海の中はとても綺麗で、泳げない(ダイビングが出来ない)方にはお勧めです。
私達は運が良く、ウミガメ、サメを見る事が出来ました。
澄んだ綺麗な海の中を見れたので、良かったです。

潜水艦が水中から上がって来る時、沈む時、
かっこよかったです。必見！

I experienced parasailing.

I was anxious due to my fear of heights, but up in the sky, it was calm, and I was very satisfied with the magnificent view. Since transportation is included, it's reassuring even for beginners in Hawaii. The total time is about 2 hours, so it doesn't interfere with other plans. If I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to sign up for this tour and recommend it to my friends.

However, there is one point to note. That is seasickness. I am prone to seasickness, so the rocking of the boat while others were parasailing was tough. Motion sickness medication is a must.

パラセーリングを体験してきました。


高所恐怖症のため不安がありましたが、空の上は穏やかで、壮大な景色にとても満足しました。
送迎付なので、ハワイ初心者でも安心です。
時間も正味２時間程度なので、他の予定の邪魔になりません。
またハワイに行く機会があればぜひ申し込みたいですし、友人にも紹介したいツアーです。

ただ、一つだけ注意点があります。
それは、船酔いです。
元々船酔いするタイプでしたので、他の方がパラセーリングしている間の船の揺れは辛かったです。
酔い止めの薬は必須です。

I took a surfing lesson using an extra-large surfboard, and I was able to stand up on my first try as if it were the most natural thing. The slogan is "Even beginners can stand up," so maybe that's to be expected, but it felt a bit too easy from the start, which was a bit of a letdown.

The lesson was just a 5-minute walk from the shop, and the 2 hours flew by. However, since we were learning right above a coral reef, I was really focused on not falling. My husband ended up injuring his foot.

But I was happy that we were able to get some photos taken. I thought the $30 for the CD was a reasonable price.

超特大のサーフボードを使ってのサーフィンレッスン、
当たり前のように沖に行って1度目で立てました。
「初めての人でも立てる」がうたい文句なので
仕方がないのかもしれないですけど、
なんだか初めから簡単すぎて拍子抜けでした。

レッスンはショップから徒歩5分の場所で
2時間はあっ~という間でしたが、
すぐ下にサンゴ礁がある上でのレッスンだったので、落ちたくない一心でした。
旦那は足にケガしてしまいました。

でも写真を撮ってもらえたので嬉しかったです。
CD代30ドルは良心的な価格だと思いました。

This was our ( my husband and myself) first Parasailing experience, and we'd do it again. Very fun, and also very relaxing. No worries, very safe. The crew was great and did a wonderful job with photographing us as well, which was most appreciated!

When you think of Hawaii, you think of surfing! So, I took my first challenge. Since the board is big, it's easy to balance and you'll be able to ride it quickly! The waiting time for waves can be long, so I recommend the intensive course because an hour and a half goes by in no time.

One thing to be careful about is that I accidentally forgot to put sunscreen on my legs, and I ended up with swelling and a bad experience, so don't forget it!

ハワイといえばサーフィン！ということで、初チャレンジしました。
大きいボードなのでバランスが取りやすくすぐに乗れるようになりますよ！
波待ちの時間が長いので、1時間半だとあっという間に時間が経ってしまうと思うので集中コースのほうがおすすめです。

気をつけてもらいたいのが、脚に日焼け止めを塗るのをうっかり忘れてしまい、腫れてひどい目に遭いましたのでお忘れなく。

I had been planning where to watch the sunset in Hawaii even before my trip, and I decided on this cruise, which turned out to be a great choice. Watching the sunset surrounded by the ocean while out on the boat was exceptional! The food was delicious, and enjoying the sunset while dining felt luxurious. The atmosphere was perfect and it was amazing.

ハワイの夕陽をどこで見ようかと旅行前から計画を練っていたところ、こちらのクルーズを見つけ決めましたが、やはり、よかったです。
船で沖へ出て、海に囲まれて見る夕陽は格別！食事もおいしかったし、食事をしながら眺める夕陽は贅沢な感じがしました。
ムード満点でサイコーでした。

Overall, it was great. I had always wanted to ride on a catamaran since I was interested in its structure, and this cruise, which offered both fireworks and a sunset, seemed perfect, so I decided to go with this one. The food was delicious, and the boat was clean, which was nice. I had a lot of fun. The fireworks in Hawaii were just as splendid as those in Japan. This year, I missed the fireworks festival in Japan, so I was able to make up for it in Hawaii, and on top of that, I had the best experience with a cruise and meals included. I definitely want to participate again next time. I never get tired of it.

とにかくよかったです。カタマラン船の構造に興味があったので、１度は乗ってみようと思っていましたが、特に花火と夕陽をセットで見れるこちらのクルーズがよさそうだったので、こちらに決めました。食事もおいしかったし、船も清潔でよかったです。とても楽しめました。ハワイの花火も日本に負けず劣らず、とても華やかでよかったです。今年は日本の花火大会をのがしてしまったので、ハワイで挽回できて、しかもクルーズ船の上・食事付という、最高の体験ができました。
また次回も是非こちらに参加したいです。何度でも飽きませんね。

The gradually changing colors of the sea were wonderful. The food was also very delicious, and the Spirit of Aloha was a great yacht. Above all, the staff were very welcoming, which made me feel at ease. I had been looking forward to this since before leaving Japan, and it exceeded my expectations. Watching the sunset from the edge of the boat with a glass in hand felt like a scene from a movie, and it was delightful. I think I might get hooked on this (laughs).

だんだん変る海の色が素敵でした。お料理もとてもおいしかったし、スピリット・オブ・アロハ号もとてもよいヨットでした。何よりスタッフの方がアットホームで、安心できました。日本を出発する前からとても楽しみにしていたのですが、予想以上によかったです。グラス片手に船縁で夕陽を眺めたら映画のワンシーンのようで、気持ちよかったです。
やみつきになりそうです（笑）

It was absolutely amazing, and I still feel enchanted just thinking about it! The sunsets in Hawaii are just so beautiful... The lovely yacht and the delicious food made it even better. Above all, the sound of the waves splashing, the breeze over the sea, and the scent of the ocean were so pleasant, and watching the changing colors of the sky until it got dark and the fireworks started was magical! The crew members were all very nice, and I am extremely satisfied. This has become my best memory in Hawaii.

今思い出してもうっとりするくらい最高でした！ハワイの夕焼けってなんであんなに素敵なんだろう…。素敵なヨットで、しかも料理もおいしかった。何より、波のポチャポチャという音や、海を渡る風や、潮の香りが心地よくて、少しずつ変る空の色を眺めて暗くなってからの花火！船員の方もとてもいい人ばかりで、大、大、大満足です。ハワイでの一番の思い出になりました。

I wanted to express my gratitude and share my experience. It was really wonderful. The sunset was amazing, and the view of the lights on Waikiki Beach from the sea was beautiful. The food was delicious, and everything was great. I'm so glad I participated! The refreshing sea breeze was pleasant, and I savored my happiness. Thank you so much to the staff on the boat who took care of us.

感謝したくて体験談投稿しました。
とってもよかったです。サンセットも素晴らしかったし、海から眺める灯りの点るワイキキビーチもきれいで、食事もおいしかったし、何もかもよかったです。
参加してほんとよかった！吹く潮風も心地よくて、幸せを噛み締めました。
お世話して下さった船のスタッフの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

I was so moved that I couldn't believe I was having such a wonderful experience on my first trip to Hawaii! I had heard that the sunsets in Hawaii are beautiful, but seeing that stunning sunset over the ocean while enjoying a meal on a cruise and experiencing fireworks was like a dream!

The sunset brought me to tears. It was just so beautiful... I'm really glad I came to Hawaii and participated in this cruise!

初めてのハワイで、こんないい思いをしていいのかと思うくらい感動！
ハワイはサンセットがきれいだと聞いていたけど、そのきれいなサンセットを海の上で見れて、クルーズしながら食事をして花火を満喫できるなんて、夢のようでした！

サンセットはもう、涙がでちゃいました。あんまりきれいで…。ハワイに来れて、このクルーズに参加できて、本当によかったです！

I made a reservation because I wanted to watch the sunset over the sea, and I'm so glad I did.

The gentle waves, the sea breeze, the sunset sinking beyond the horizon, and the white boat all created an amazing atmosphere—it was the best.

Being out on the sea, away from the beach, felt like I was having the sunset all to myself; there’s no greater luxury than that.

The food was delicious, and everyone on board, including the staff, was so nice, which allowed me to truly enjoy this cruise.

It was a wonderful memory.

夕日を海の上で眺めたいと思い、予約しましたが、申し込んでよかったです。

波の揺れと、潮風と、水平線の彼方に沈んでいく夕日と、白い船と、何もかもがムードを盛り上げて、最高でした。

ビーチから離れて海の上にいると、夕日を独り占めしているようで、これ以上の贅沢はないですね。

食事もおいしく、乗り合わせた人達も、船のスタッフも、みないい人ばかりだったので、このクルーズを心から楽しむことが出来ました。

いい思い出です。

I'm glad I signed up; it was amazing.

I wanted to gift my girlfriend a sunset in Hawaii, so I was looking for the best spot when I found this tour and booked it right away. I thought it would be nice to see the sunset sinking on the horizon from the sea rather than the land, but it was even better than I expected.

We were all having a great time on the boat until the sunset started to approach, and then everyone fell silent. Sitting in different spots on the boat, feeling the sea breeze, the sunset was the most beautiful I've ever seen. The colors of the sunset reflecting on the sea were stunning.

And the fireworks afterward were great too. Actually, it was her birthday that day, so she told me it was "the best gift she's ever received." I'm really glad I signed up.

申し込んで正解、最高でした。

ハワイのサンセットを彼女にプレゼントしたかったので、最高の場所を探していたところにこのツアーを見つけ、すぐ予約。陸からでなく、海の上から水平線に沈む夕日を見るなんていいかな、と思ったけど、思った以上に最高でした。

沖に出るまでは楽しく船の上のみんなで盛り上がっていたけど、夕日が沈みかけるとみな無口に…。
船のそれぞれの場所に腰をかけて、潮風を感じながら、見る夕日は今まで見た夕日の中で一番きれいでした。海に映える夕日の色がいいですね。

そしてその後の花火もよかった。実はその日が彼女の誕生日だったので、「今までもらったプレゼントの中で最高のプレゼント」と言ってもらえました。
ホント、申し込んでよかったです。

We were just about to stay at the Hilton, so we decided to join the Hilton departure, and it was really great. After a day of sightseeing and taking a break at the hotel, we went in the evening, and the sunset viewed over the waves was exceptional. The cruise while having a meal was the best. I felt like I understood a bit of what it’s like to be a yachtsman (^^). Being on the yacht with my family, watching the waves, created a sense of unity, and it felt like our hearts became closer to each other. It was a very meaningful time. Thank you very much.

私たちは、ちょうどヒルトンに宿泊予定だったので、ヒルトン出発というので参加してみましたが、とてもよかったです。
一日観光して、ホテルでひと息ついてから、夕方行きましたが、波の上で眺める夕日はまた格別で、食事を食べたりしながらのクルーズは最高でした。
ヨットマンの気持ちが少しわかった気がします（^^）
家族で一緒にヨット（船？）に乗って波を眺めていると一体感というか、心がお互いにもっと近くなったような気がします。
とても有意義な時間でした。ありがとうございました。

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the ocean, so I signed up for this evening cruise, and it was even more fun than I expected! The Spirit of Aloha was a bit of a larger boat, but the ride was fantastic, and the splashes of the waves felt great. Watching the sunset with a drink in hand was truly beautiful, and I felt like time was slipping away too quickly. I wished time would stop!

It was really amazing! This is an experience you shouldn't miss.

ハワイに来たからには海を満喫したかったので、この夕方の乗船に申し込んだのですが、思った以上に楽しかったです！
スピリット・オブ・アロハ号はちょっと大きめのボートっていう感じでしたが、乗り心地はサイコーで、波しぶきが気持ちよかったです。
飲み物片手に眺めるサンセットが、本当にキレイで、時間が過ぎるのがもったいないくらいでした。時が止まってほしいくらい！

本当にサイコーでした！これは体験しないと勿体ないですね。

I signed up for this to make my Hawaii trip the best memory possible.

The sunset over Hawaii viewed from the sea was so wonderful that it’s beyond words; I just watched in silence.

The boat was also very clean, which was great. The sound of the waves, the smell of the ocean, and the fireworks lighting up the night sky... Dining while watching fireworks over the waters of Hawaii is truly the ultimate luxury!

Since the last night of my Hawaii trip ended so beautifully, the entire journey became the best experience. I am truly grateful.

せっかくのハワイ旅行を最高の思い出にしたくてこちらに申し込みました。

海上で見るハワイの夕日は、言葉では表せないくらいステキで、ただただ、無言で見ていました。

船もとても清潔な感じでよかったです。波の音、海の匂い、夜空に打ちあがる花火…。ハワイの海の上で、花火を見ながらの食事は、これ以上の贅沢はないといえますね！

ハワイ旅行の最後の夜がこんなステキな終わり方をしたので、旅全体が最高のものとなりました。本当に感謝しています。

It was my first time in Hawaii, and it was amazing. I'm so glad I signed up!! The sunset over the Hawaiian sea was so moving that I felt like I could cry. As I was savoring my happiness, there were fireworks next... I couldn't help but wonder if I could be this happy... and tears came to my eyes. It’s a memory I will never forget. The food was delicious too!

初めてのハワイでしたが、最高でした。申し込んでよかったです！！
ハワイの海のサンセットは、感動で涙が出そうでした。幸せをかみしめていたら、今度は花火が…。こんなに幸せでいいのだろうか…と涙が出てしまいました。一生忘れられない思い出です。食事もおいしかったです！

We participated as a couple.
The view of Hawaii from above was beautiful.
They offer photo shoots for $15.
Everyone, including the guide, was a foreigner, and we were the only Japanese participants.

On the day of the event, the waves were quite high, and I ended up feeling a bit seasick at the end.

夫婦で参加しました。
上空からのハワイの景色がきれいでした。
１５ドルで写真撮影をしてくれます。
ガイドも含め全員外国人で日本人参加者は私たちのみでした。

当日かなり波が高く、最後少し船酔いしてしまいました。

It was quite good. The kids were excited.

なかなか良かったです。子供が興奮していました。

Great value & most enjoyable! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time :)

When I arrived at the meeting time, I was informed that the departure would be delayed by an hour, so we ended up waiting around the hotel area. In the promotional photos, there was a large catamaran with blue sails from Outrigger, but the actual boat we boarded was a smaller catamaran with pink sails, and it felt more like a family cruise with three staff members and about ten participants.

It was disappointing that there were no life vests available and that fins couldn't be rented, which limited our snorkeling experience. However, it was great to see many turtles up close.

After that, we cruised about an hour offshore. The wind felt nice, and the color of the sea became increasingly vibrant and beautiful. We went as far as the lighthouse past Diamond Head. We took motion sickness medication, so we were fine, but the boat was quite rocky, and a few people got seasick. The staff was very kind and provided water and ice to those who were feeling unwell. Next time, I would like to join a tour that focuses solely on cruising.

当日集合時間に行くと、１時間遅れでの出発と案内され、ホテル周辺で時間をつぶしての出発となりました。イメージ写真では、アウトリガーの青い帆の大きい目のカタマランでしたが、実際に乗ったのは、ピンクの帆の小さめのカタマランで、スタップ３名と参加者は１０名程度で家族クルーズのような小さいツアーとなりました。
ライフベストがなかったこと、足ひれがレンタルできないので思いっきりシュノーケルできないのは残念でした。ただ、たくさんのカメが近くで見れたのは良かったです。
その後は、１時間ほど沖までクルージングでした。風が気持よく、海の色がどんどん濃くなりとてもきれいでした。ダイアモンドヘッド先の灯台あたりまで行きました。私たちは酔い止めを飲んでいて大丈夫でしたが、揺れがすごくて数人の方が船酔いでダウンされていました。スタッフの対応はとても親切で体調の悪い方には、水や氷を渡したりされていました。次回は、クルージングのみのツアーに参加してみたいです。

I found this site before my trip, and it looked interesting, so I made a reservation and participated.

I had heard beforehand that there wouldn't be any Japanese participants, but I thought it would be fine and went without hesitation, only to find that we were indeed the only Japanese people there.

However, since everyone was just travelers from different places, we all got along well and enjoyed ourselves without much concern.

Personally, I can hardly speak English, but the staff member was friendly and nice, so I thoroughly enjoyed both the cruising and snorkeling!

The snorkeling spot was off the coast of Waikiki, about 10 meters deep, and there were plenty of fish and sea turtles.

I brought a waterproof digital camera, but I struggled to take good pictures of the sea turtles swimming nearby. Fortunately, a crew member who looked like a dolphin took some really beautiful photos for me.

There were no fins available for rent, just masks and snorkels, and swimming was limited to around the yacht, so it might not be enough for those who are into diving, but beginners can definitely have a great time (which was the case for my wife and me). Everyone participating was in the same boat.

After that, we enjoyed cruising while sailing back to Waikiki, heading towards Diamond Head.

This trip created unforgettable and enjoyable memories.

Since we finished around 10 AM, it was easy to plan our next activities.

I believe breakfast snacks were supposed to be included in the package, but we didn't quite understand the system and missed out. After we got back, we changed at the hotel and had breakfast (or maybe it was brunch?) at Island Vintage Cafe in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, enjoying acai bowls before heading out to Kailua.

You might want to double-check about breakfast???

Also, there are several Outrigger Hotels in Waikiki, so make sure not to confuse the meeting location... (we made that mistake).

Anyway, it was a fantastic time, and I highly recommend it!

旅行前にこのサイトで知って、面白そうなので予約して参加しました。


事前情報で、日本人の参加者がいないって聞いていたものの、なんとかなるかな~と思って、ためらわず行ってみたら、本当に日本人は僕たちだけでした。

しかし、まあ所詮みんないろんなとこからやってきた旅行者同士の似たもの同士なので、あんま気兼ねなく思い思いに楽しんでいます。


個人的に英語はほとんど喋れないけれど、スタッフの兄ちゃんが気さくでいい人だったので、クルージングとシュノーケリングともに満喫させていただきました！！


シュノーケリングのポイントはワイキキの沖、水深１０ｍくらいで、魚や海亀がいっぱいいました。

防水デジカメ持参で行ったのですが、近くで泳ぐ海亀をなかなかうまく写真に収められず苦戦してたら、クリューのイルカみたいな兄ちゃんがすごく綺麗に撮ってくれました。

フィンのレンタルはなく、マスク、シュノーケルのみのレンタルでヨットの周りのみの遊泳なので、ダイビングやっている人には物足りないかもしれませんが、初心者でも十分楽しめます。（まさに今回の自分と妻がそうでした。まあ、参加している人みんな一緒です。）


その後はダイヤモンドヘッド沖まで帆走でクルージングを楽しみつつワイキキに戻りました。



今回の旅行の忘れられない楽しい思い出です。



午前１０時上がりなので、その後の予定も組みやすいです。


パックに軽食の朝ごはんが付いているはずだったのですが、僕らはシステムがよくわからず食いそびれたので、上がった後、ホテルで着替えて、ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンターのアイランドビンテージカフェでアサイボウルで朝食（？）を済ませて、カイルアに遊びに行きました。

朝食のとこは要確認かも？？？


あと、アウトリガーホテルはワイキキに何箇所かあるので、集合場所は間違えなきよう。。。。（うちは間違えた）




ともあれ、最高のひと時でした、かなりお勧めですよ！！

It was convenient to participate in the cruise from Waikiki.
No Japanese was understood at all.
The snorkeling time is about one hour.
There were no life jackets available for rent.
You can borrow something like a long tube.
On the way there, we saw a turtle, and on the way back, we saw dolphins.
I think it's good for those who understand English and are good at swimming.

　ワイキキからクルーズできるのが便利で参加しました。
日本語はまったく通じません。
　シュノーケルの時間は1時間位です。
ライフジャケットの貸し出しはありませんでした。
細長い筒のようなものは借りられます。
　行きにはカメ、帰りにはイルカが見えました。
英語がわかって、泳ぎが得意の方には良いと思います。

This was our first time, both of us were just a little nervous at first, but after we were lifted up in the air we decovered how peaceful it was and we are looking forward to doing it again,

I experienced parasailing for the first time with my elementary school daughter. The wind was quite strong that day, so we swayed like a swing and didn't have much opportunity to enjoy the scenery. My daughter said she enjoyed the speed of the boat going out to sea more than the parasailing itself. We also took a photo of her splashing into the cold sea up to her waist, which became a nice memory. I paid $20 for the film and chips.

初めてのパラセイリングを小学生の娘と体験しました。
その日はかなり風が強くブランコのようにゆれたので、
景色を堪能する余裕はありませんでした。
娘はパラセイリングより、ボートが沖にでるまでのスピード感のほうが楽しかったと言っています。
冷たい海に腰までジャポン！とつかるところも写真に撮って
くれて、良い記念になりました。
フィルムとチップで＄20支払いました。

This ride is sooooo much fun. Anyone can do it. Don't think you are too skinny or too fat. Either way you are getting a great ride. We even saw a guy that weighed 290 ride with a guy who was 240. Over 500 pounds and up they went like they were butterflies. The day we went the waves were choppy and it caused a little sea sickness for a couple of us but other than that we had an outstanding time.Our group had teens, 20's, 40's and 50's. Everyone screamed for joy. It was a great time.

We loved:
- we could walk to it
-that it was short and to the point
-the food was better than any other luau we have been to
-they had a kids table for the buffet with finger foods
-We paid extra to sit in the front and one of our kids got picked to go up on stage and be in a competition.
-It really was a family luau. People weren't drunk and the dancers didn't do anything embarrassing

-We didn't love:
-The chairs were cheap, weak, and wobbly.
-The family next to us was so close we had to touch arms and legs to scoot our chairs in
-We felt packed in like a herd of cows waiting for a buffet
-the drink ticket system is poorly run. My kids had water and they were asked for a drink ticket. They only had a short list of about 5 drinks and they would not make virgin drinks.
-The parking lot view sucks. We did not get any good pictures and at Germains and Paradise Cove and the Polynesian Cultural Center you will get the best photos that you will treasure all of your lif

OUTSTANDING.

We reluctantly participated at the children's request. Perhaps because it was fully booked with a capacity of 12 people, our family of three was sent up all at once. I was worried about exceeding the weight limit, but it turned out to be fine. The parasailing was fun, but since we were sent up in a sort of assembly line manner, I had some doubts about whether this is how it usually is... It's important to check the time slots for reservations.

子供たちの希望でやむなく参加しました。定員１２名の満席状態だったせいか、私たち家族は３名一度に飛ばされました。重量オーバーにならないか心配でしたが、なんとか大丈夫でした。パラセイルは楽しかったのですが、流れ作業的に飛ばされたのでこんなものなのかと少々疑問が。。。
申し込みの時間帯、要チェックです。
