All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

There was singing, services like spam rice balls, hula dancing, and a lot of other activities besides sea turtle snorkeling, which made it enjoyable! Having a Japanese guide eased my worries. The sea was also very beautiful.

However, reflecting on my experience, I had never gotten seasick before, so I didn't take any motion sickness medication, but the boat rocked quite a bit and I started to feel unwell. I think it would have been better to take the medication. Perhaps reading the lyrics while singing contributed to my nausea as well. My husband and son went up to the second floor of the boat and said they really enjoyed feeling like they were driving the boat, so I think I would have enjoyed it even more if I could have done that too...

歌あり、スパムおにぎりなどのサービスあり、フラダンスもありで、ウミガメシュノーケリング以外のものも盛りだくさんで、楽しめました！！日本人ガイドさんがいてくれたので不安もありませんでした。海もとてもキレイ。
ただ自分への反省として、今まで酔ったことがなかったので酔い止めは飲まなかったのですが、結構船が揺れて気分が悪くなってしまいました。酔い止めは飲んだ方がよかったかなと思いました。もしかしたら、歌を歌う時に文字を読んだのも、酔いに繋がったのかも。夫と息子は船の2階に上がって、自分が船を運転している気分になってとても楽しめたと言っていたので、それも出来たらもっと楽しめたな…と思いました。

The view of Hawaii from a height of 150 meters with no obstructions was amazing! It was a very enjoyable time with breathtaking scenery and a refreshing feeling that far exceeded my expectations. The staff communicated in broken Japanese, which was reassuring, and they were very service-oriented. They took great photos that captured the moment perfectly, making it easy to remember that time. I absolutely recommend it!

遮るもののない高さ150mからのハワイの景色は最高でした！期待をはるかに超える絶景と爽快感でとても楽しい時間でした。
スタッフの方はカタコトですが日本語で説明してくれて安心ですし、サービス精神たっぷりです。写真はとても上手に撮ってくれて、どれもあの時あの瞬間を思い出せる臨場感のあるものばかりです。絶対オススメです！

I was looking forward to the Hawaii-exclusive Cirque du Soleil. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience with surprises and entertaining performances that exceeded my expectations. I was impressed by the expressive acting and composition, even without any words, as well as the beautifully sculpted physiques.

ハワイ限定のシルク・ドゥ・ソレイユということで楽しみにしていました。期待以上に驚きや楽しい演出が多く、とても楽しい時間でした。
全く言葉がないのに伝わる演技力と構成、そして鍛え抜かれた肉体美に感激しました。

I had a great time! I was a bit nervous at 150 meters because I have a fear of heights, but seeing is believing, right? It turned out to be a wonderful memory. The staff were fun and provided solid support, so I felt at ease.

いやー楽しかったです！
高所恐怖症なので150ｍにどぎまぎしていましたが、百聞は一見？に如かずやるべきです。すごく良い思い出になりました。
スタッフの方も楽しくそしてしっかりサポートして頂いたので安心してください。

Needed more clarity. Unless you knew what what’s being shared you wouldn’t understand. I wish there was a little more story and less jumping around from story to story. And the dance was to contemporary for the show to be called ‘Auana. Although the movement and the acrobatics was beautifully done. I was just confused with what the concept of the show was about.

Wow! What a wonderful gift being able to experience AUANA, Cirque De Soleil. Wish I had more time in Hawaii to go see it again. Magnificent! Don’t miss it!

The staff spoke entirely in English, but I could understand it to some extent! I was satisfied with the many photos they took of me (there was an additional charge). I got splashed in the sea multiple times, haha!

スタッフさんは全て英語ですが、何となく分かるかなというくらいでした！
たくさん写真を撮ってもらい、満足です。(追加料金あり)
何度も海ポチャされました笑

The meeting place was the same as other tours, so our group was trying to board a different boat and everyone was stopped. It was a bit confusing, so I would appreciate it if that point could be improved.

Fortunately, we were able to see whales during this season, which became a wonderful memory.

Since it was the last day of our stay and I was sleep-deprived, I ended up feeling seasick despite taking motion sickness medication, which was disappointing, but the scenery was fantastic from start to finish! Thank you very much!

集合場所の列が他のツアーと同じだった為、私達のツアーの人達は違う船に乗ろうとして皆止められていました。少し分かりづらかったのでその点は改善していただけたら嬉しいです。
時期的に幸運にも鯨を見る事ができ、とても良い思い出になりました。
滞在最終日だったので寝不足もあり、酔い止めを飲んでいたにも関わらず酔ってしまい残念でしたが、景色は最初から最後まで素晴らしかったです！ありがとうございました！

It was amazing.
I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English.
The kind and attentive service made it a lot of fun for everyone on board as well.

最高でした。
英語がわかればもっと楽しいと思います。
親切丁寧な対応で、同乗されていた方もかなり楽しんでおられたと思います。

The wait time for the meal before it started was long, and the show was somewhat disappointing, but the main event, the rock and roll show, was fantastic.

始まるまでの食事時間が長く、ショーがいまいちでしたが、本番の、ロックフラショーは、素晴らしかったです

Hands down our trip highlight!
A must do, amazing experience.
The experience from start to finish was great, cocktails and drinks were awesome, the guys who took us out to the picturesque views were fantastic.
Highly recommend!

The performance was so surprising that I couldn't help but exclaim, and the time flew by. There were various scenes, and I was never bored watching it. It's comfortable even in the rain, so I recommend it even if you're worried about the weather!

思わず声を上げてしまうような驚きのパフォーマンスが終始続き、あっという間の時間でした。
様々なシーンがあって、見ていて全く飽きないです。雨でも快適に過ごせるので天気が心配な場合でもおすすめします！

I didn't swim, so I was on the boat the whole time and got really seasick... I should have gone swimming! Also, it got cloudy, and while I endured the seasickness, I was sad that I couldn't see the sunset. However, it felt special in a different way compared to watching the sunset from land.

スイミングをしなかったので、ずっと船にいたら船酔いがひどかったです…スイミングをすればよかった！
また、曇ってしまい船酔いに耐えたがサンセットを見れず悲しかったです。
しかし陸の上から見るサンセットとは違い特別な気持ちになるました

I thought I was good with heights, but when I got to the top, I felt a thrill; the view was so beautiful that it felt like I was flying!

高いところが得意だと思っていましたが、上まで行くとドキドキしました、そのくらい景色が綺麗に見えて飛んでる気持ちはなります！

My first time on a catamaran which I enjoyed immensely. The crew were very friendly and made the sail fun and exciting. I'm in my 60's and I felt like I was young again. Loved the ppl on board. It was a party for all of us with the wind in our hair. I plan on going again on my next trip. Thank you!!

I had a great time experiencing parasailing for the first time! The boat ride was thrilling and enjoyable as well.

The instructions were mostly in English, and there was a staff member who spoke a little Japanese. They asked if I wanted to take photos, and when I chose to do so, they took pictures while I was parasailing. Afterward, I could view the photos and purchase them for $40. They are sent directly to your smartphone, so you won't receive printed copies.

I felt that the higher you go, the more it sways, which was a bit scary. Also, while moving by boat, you have to wait for others who are parasailing, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness.

初めてのパラセーリングを体験できて、楽しかったです！ボートの移動もスリルがあり楽しめました。
基本全て英語の案内です。少しだけ日本語を話すスタッフがいました。写真を撮るか撮らないか聞かれ、撮るを選択するとパラセーリング中に写真を撮ってくれて、内容を見てから40ドルで購入することができます。スマホに直接送られるので、印刷したものは貰えません。高くなればなるほど、揺れがあり少し怖いと思いました。またボートで移動して、他の方がパラセーリングしているのはボートで待つことになるので酔ってしまう方はオススメしません。

I arrived at the meeting time, but I had to wait there for about 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting much from the meal, but it was tastier than I thought. The luau was impressive and enjoyable.

集合時間に行ったが、そこで30分ほど待たされた。食事はあまり期待していなかったけれど、思ったより美味しく食べられた、ルアウは迫力ががあって良かった。

I was seated in the back, but it was not a problem. It was very impressive and became a memorable experience in Hawaii. Compared to Las Vegas, it is smaller in scale, but it was good. I also thought that I would like to go see it with my family next time.

後方の座席でしたが、問題ありませんでした。
とても見ごたえがあり、ハワイの思い出になりました。
ラスベガスのと比べると規模が小さいですが、良かったです。
又、次回は家族で見に行きたいと思いました。

I have watched several Cirque du Soleil shows, but the Hawaiian-themed performance, which is a bit different from the usual Cirque du Soleil shows, really enhanced the vacation vibe and provided a satisfying 90 minutes.

今までいつくものシルクドソレイユのショーを観ていますが、これまでのシルクドソレイユのショートとは少し異なるハワイらしい演出は、とてもバケーション感覚を盛り上げてくれ、満足いく90分でした。

Only caveat is we were at a different Outrigger and was confusing as to the location. At the last minute service personnel at our Outrigger informed us we had to walk to a new location that was not expected at all.

There is a regulation that prohibits approaching whales, so the boat does not get close to them. Therefore, it is not possible to take photos from a close distance like those on the explanation page. All announcements regarding whales are in English, so I do not recommend this for those who are not proficient in the language. Snacks and drinks are explained in English, so I couldn't figure out where they were located. Even with sunglasses and a hat, please be careful as the sunlight is very intense.

クジラに近づいてはいけないという条例があるので船はクジラに近づきません。よって説明ページのような至近距離からの写真は撮れません。
クジラに関するアナウンスなどは全て英語なので堪能でない方はオススメしません。
スナックや飲み物類は英語で説明があるのでどこにあるか分からず取れませんでした。
サングラスや帽子があっても日差しがとてもキツいので気をつけて下さい。

The staff was great the ride was great but I was under the impression that we were going to see more turtle on a remote island and have the access to see them basking on land. We did not see many turtles but we saw a lot of pretty fish.

I have no surfing experience and I'm afraid of entering the sea as I'm not a good swimmer, but I was able to truly enjoy riding the waves! I had no fear at all! It was the best experience!

サーフィン経験なし、カナヅチで海に入るのが怖い私ですが、心から波乗りを楽しむことができました！
恐怖心は全くなかったです！
最高の経験ができました！

This time, my 9-year-old son, my husband, my mother-in-law in her 70s, and I participated together. The reception was a bit hard to find as it was located inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, across from the ABC Store. However, when I showed the voucher to the hotel staff, they kindly directed me to the reception area. When the time came, the staff gave a brief explanation (in all English), and then we all walked to the dock to board the boat. We were the only Japanese participants, which made us a bit anxious, but there were people from various countries joining us.

Once on the boat, the friendly staff explained snorkeling and talked to us in English. They patiently taught us how to inflate the life jackets, put on the fins, and wear the masks. As we listened to the explanations, we quickly arrived at the snorkeling spot and jumped into the sea! The beautiful ocean and numerous fish were amazing, and we even saw about five sea turtles up close! It was so close that it was surprising!

Additionally, soft drinks (like cola and Hawaiian drinks) and snacks were available for free, so we could eat whenever we felt a bit hungry.

After finishing snorkeling, we didn’t head back immediately but went sailing further out. We enjoyed many scenic views, even reaching the backside of Diamond Head. Sitting on the netting part of the boat while sailing was fantastic. We even spotted a whale, albeit briefly!

We had a very fulfilling time with snorkeling followed by sailing.

Here are some tips for those who will experience this:
1. If you are prone to motion sickness, be cautious as the boat can sway, and the waves during snorkeling can be intense. (I actually took motion sickness medication, but I still felt quite sick and had to return to the boat early. My son and husband, however, did not get sick and enjoyed the entire time.)
2. There are many other tours at the snorkeling spots, so there is a risk of getting separated if you get too absorbed in snorkeling. I made sure to stay close to our boat's staff.
3. Beginners in snorkeling may need to have some stamina. Fortunately, we were okay since we had some experience, but for first-timers, the wave height and moving to different spots might be challenging. However, it was nice that we could choose to return to the boat whenever we wanted.

I’ve mentioned three points, but overall, I am very satisfied!

今回、9歳の息子と私たち夫婦、70代ばあばの4人で参加しました。
受付はアウトリガーリーフワイキキビーチリゾートのホテル入って奥の方のABCストアの向かい側で初めてだと分かりずらいかもですが、ホテルのスタッフの方にバウチャー見せたら受付の場所を教えてもらえました。時間になるとスタッフの方が軽く説明をして（オール英語）、その後みんなで船着場まで歩き船に乗りました。日本人は私たちだけで不安でしたが、みなさん色々な国から参加されていました。
船に乗ると気さくなスタッフの方がシュノーケリングの説明や、色々英語で話してくれました。
ライフジャケットの空気の入れ方や、フィンの付け方、マスクの付け方など丁寧に教えてくれました。
説明を聞いているとすぐにシュノーケリングスポットにつき、いざ海へ！
綺麗な海とたくさんの魚、お目当ての海亀も五匹ほど間近で見れました！近すぎてびっくりするくらい！！
また、ソフトドリンク（コーラやハワイアンドリンク）や、スナックはフリーで食べれるので小腹が空いた時自由に食べれました。

最後シュノーケリングが終わった後はすぐに戻らず、さらに沖の方はセイリング。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの裏側の方までいきたくさんの景色を楽しめました。やっとの網の部分に座ってのセーリングも最高でした。
最後に少しでしたがクジラも見えました！
シュノーケリングの、後のセーリングでとても充実した時間が過ごせました。

以下体験する方へのアドバイス
1、乗り物酔いする方は中々船の揺れや、シュノーケリングの、波も激しいので気おつけてください。（実際私は酔い止め飲みましたが途中で酔いがひどくなり先に船に戻りました。※息子や夫は酔わないので終始楽しんでいました。）
2、他のツアーがスポットにたくさんいるのでシュノーケリングに、没頭するとはぐれる危険性があります。こまめに自分の船のスタッフさんを連れての近くにいるようにしました。
3、シュノーケリング初心者は体力が必要かも。幸い私たちはシュノーケリングをしていたので大丈夫でしたが、初めての方だと波の高さや、スポットに毎回移動するのが困難かも
でも、船に戻りたくなったら先に戻っていいのでそこは自由で自身の判断でよかったです

3点書きましたが総合的には大満足です！

The conditions were windy with high waves, so it felt like an experience similar to Splash Mountain... I was able to see the whale's spray and tail, and on the way back, I was also able to see dolphins and honu, which was great. I couldn't take any photos, but the views of Honolulu and the departing airplanes were full of highlights, and the captain's guided announcements were entertaining.

風が強くて波も高いと言うコンディションでしたのでスプラッシュマウンテンのような体験出来ました…
鯨のしぶきとシッポが見れて帰りイルカやホヌも見れて良かったです。写真は撮れなかったですが
ホノルルの景色や離陸して行く飛行機等見所満載で船長さんのガイドアナウンスも面白かった

The boat we initially reserved was canceled, and there were two changes after that. We had to wait for late customers, which delayed our departure and made us miss the best timing for the sunset. However, in the end, I was moved to tears by the beauty of the fireworks and the night view of Waikiki. It was truly stunning.

当初予約してた船がキャンセルになりそこから２回の変更があり、遅れて来たお客様待ってて出港が遅れて夕日のベストタイミングを逃すと言うのがありましたが、結果花火とワイキキの夜景の素晴らしさに涙でました。本当に綺麗。

Had an amazing trip. Kind and friendly, locally owned and operated. Would highly recommend.

I definitely wanted to see this when I came to Hawaii, so I made a reservation. The show was absolutely amazing. It went by in a flash, and I want to see it again.

ハワイに来たら絶対に観に行きたい！と思ってこちらから予約しました。ショーはとても最高でした。あっという間だったので、また観に行きたいです。

Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy and the sea didn't look blue. However, before it started, the music was played loudly, and the guide was great at getting everyone excited, making it a very enjoyable memory! Thanks to the weather, I was able to take some good photos of Jaws, which was a nice surprise!

残念ながら天気は曇りで海が青く見えませんでした。でも始まる前に音楽が爆音でかけられてガイドさんも盛り上げ上手でとても楽しいいい思い出になりました！
天気のお陰で逆にジョーズのいい写真が撮れました笑

This was beyond my imagination!!!
I thought it would just be riding a boat and paddling in the sea, but I was completely wrong!
We had six people in a narrow canoe that was about the width of our bodies.
We pushed the canoe out from Waikiki Beach into the ocean ourselves.
Then, we quickly boarded the canoe and paddled out to sea.
In sync with the leader's call, we went one-two.
When the leader said "switch," we changed our paddling from the right side to the left.
On our way out, surfers were waiting for waves.
As we passed by the surfers, we greeted them with a "Yeah!" and a shaka sign.
The cute local surfers in bikinis smiled and returned our "Aloha."
Finally, when we reached the wave waiting point, we turned around and waited for a good wave.
In response to the leader's call of "paddle," we paddled at full speed to pick up the pace.
Once we caught a wave, we moved toward the beach at an incredible speed.
It felt like what surfing must be like, and it was exhilarating.
Wow, it was a more enjoyable experience than parasailing.
I definitely want to try canoe surfing the next time I go to Hawaii.
I regret not knowing about this despite having been to Hawaii multiple times—it's highly recommended!

これは想像以上でした！！！
ボートに乗ってオールを漕いで海に浮かぶだけと思っていたら大間違い！
自分の体の幅ほどの細いカヌーに縦に６人乗り。
自分たちでカヌーを押し出しワイキキビーチから海へ。
そして素早くカヌーへ乗り込み沖に向かってオールを漕ぐ。
リーダーの掛け声に合わせワンツー。
そしてリーダーが「はんたーい」と言えば右側から左側へと漕ぐ場所を変える。
沖まで行く間にはサーファー達が波待ちをしている。
サーファー達の横を通り過ぎる時はイエーいとシャカサインでご挨拶。
ビキニのかわいいロコサーファー達が笑顔でアロハと返してくれます。
そしていよいよ波待ちポイントまで来たらくるっと方向転換していい波を待つ。
リーダーの「こいでー」の掛け声に合わせて猛スピードでオールを漕ぎスピードアップ。
波に乗ったら想像以上の速さで波と共にビーチに向かって進みます。
サーフィンやったらこんな感じなんだと思う体験がここと躍らせます。
いやー。パラセーリングより楽しい体験でした。
ハワイに行ったら必ずカヌーサーフィンやろうと思いました。
ハワイは何回も行っていたのになぜ知らなかったんだろうと後悔するほど超おすすめですよ。
