All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

I often participated in sunset cruises, but this was my first time joining a cruise while watching fireworks! The departure after dark created a wonderful atmosphere, and the fireworks were beautifully visible, making it a truly lovely experience!

サンセットのクルージングはよく参加していましたが、花火を見ながらのクルージングは初めての参加でした！
暗くなってからの出航でとても雰囲気も良く、花火も綺麗に見れてとても素敵な時間でした！！

The staff is friendly and it's just so much fun!! You can enjoy it without any problems even if you don't understand English! The buffet has desserts in addition to the meals, and I was completely full. It was the best!

スタッフさんがフレンドリーでとにかく楽しい！！英語がわからなくても問題なく楽しめます！バイキングは食事以外にデザートもあって満腹になりました。フラ最高！

I participated in a sunset cruise. It departs from the yacht harbor in Waikiki and returns in about an hour and a half, making it easy to join. On the day I went, I could see the whales' spouts and tails far off in the distance, but the crew did their best to keep things lively and entertaining. Since it's nature, whether you get to see the whales up close is a matter of luck.

サンセットクルーズに参加しました。ワイキキのヨットハーバーから出発して1時間半程度で帰ってこられるので気軽に参加できます。
私が参加した日は遥か遠くにクジラの潮吹きや尻尾が見える程度でしたが、クルーの皆さんは何とか盛り上げようと楽しませてくれました。自然相手のことなので、クジラが近くで見られるかは運次第です。

We came for the show only and were pleasantly pleased with the performance! I especially enjoyed the “Is” section of showcasing his rise and what he means to the Hawaiian people as a whole. Still singing his recorded hit “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in my head. It was all very good. Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, the dancers…Hawaiian culture. Just great!! Don’t miss out!!

A wonderful word: the sea. You can overlook the entire town, and it feels great. I definitely recommend it. Experiencing it firsthand is much more amazing than just seeing it from land.

素敵の一言　海　街を全て見渡し　気持ちの良さ　是非おすすめします。　陸から見るより実際に経験すると素晴らしい経験が出来ます。

The fireworks from the sea were simply wonderful, as if I could have them all to myself. The drinks were free, but there were no snacks, so I might need to bring some, haha. I would love to participate again.

花火を独り占め出来る程　海からの花火は素敵の一言　お酒もフリーです。おつまみは無いので持参かも笑笑　また参加したいです。

The previous day's bad weather may have caused rough waves, and although I was able to see a few turtles, there were not many fish. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing we can do about it.

前日が悪天候だったためか、波が荒くて魚も少し亀が何とか見れたけど、自然相手だから仕方がないけど、残念でした。

Aidan Justin & Alec were great hosts. Thanks for a fun trip!

I have also watched it in Japan (Maihama), but this time the stage was closer, so I was able to enjoy a different level of excitement compared to last time.

日本（舞浜）でも鑑賞したことが有りますが、今回はステージが近いので前回と違う迫力があり楽しむことが出来ました。

The instructor was cheerful and really got everyone excited, which made it a lot of fun. I thought the wind before taking off might be scary, but once I was in the air, it was completely not scary and very enjoyable. I wished I could have flown for a longer time!

インストラクターの方が陽気な方で盛り上げてくれて、とても楽しめました。
飛ぶ前の風が強く感じて怖いかなと思いましたが、飛び上がってしまえば全く怖くなく、楽しかったです。
もっと長時間飛んでいたかったです！

Since it was a tour involving nature, I thought I wouldn't know if I would see anything until it was over, but in the end, I had a wonderful experience. I understood that we couldn't get too close to the whales and would only be able to see them from a distance, but the whales came close to us, and I was able to see them up very close.

I participated in early February, and there were many whales. I was moved by how many there were. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone whose timing aligns.

自然が相手のツアーなので、見れるかどうか終わってみないとわからないなぁ、と思っていましたが、結果、素晴らしい経験ができました。くじらにはあまり近づけないとのことで、遠くからしか見られないのは仕方ないと思っていましたが、クジラが近づいてきてくれて、ものすごく近くで見ることが出来ました。
参加時期は2月上旬でしたが、クジラはたくさんいました。こんなにたくさんいるんだと感動しました。
是非、タイミングが合う方は参加をお勧めします。

We went out to sea in a boat with a few groups and had a little boat riding experience, followed by parasailing in turns. We set up the parachute from the boat and took off from the moving boat. Gradually, the rope is extended, and we float up. The price varies depending on the length of the rope, and I chose the longest one at 150m. However, since we were moving in the boat, I couldn't tell if we actually reached 150m in height, but as you can see in the photos, it was really high. Of course, there’s no sound while flying. The flight lasts a few minutes, but it feels much longer.

As we ascended, my excitement grew, and I felt it was definitely worth it. Since I was holding my smartphone, I had to connect it to my arm with a strap; if I dropped it, I wouldn't be able to retrieve it from the sea. Be careful!

何組か一緒にボートで沖まで行き、ちょっとしたボートの乗船体験もでき、順番にパラセーリングです。船の上からパラシュートをセットして、走るボートの上から飛び立ちます。徐々にロープを伸ばして行きフワッと飛び立ちます。ロープの長さで金額が違いますが、私は1番長い150mを選択。でもボートで走りながらの為高さが150mなのか、斜めに上がる為分かりませんが、、、写真でもわかる様にすごく高いです。勿論飛んでる時は音がしません。数分のフライトですが、すごく長く感じます^_^
上がるとテンションも上がり、やって良かったなと、実感します。スマホを持ちながらなので腕にひもを繋いでないと、落としたら海なので探せません。ご注意を！

We had a great experience and wonderful time. Thank you for helping with all aspects

It was thrilling, and I definitely want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii. The instructors and the boat operators were fun people, and I was able to enjoy it without feeling scared!

スリル満点、次回のハワイでも必ず参加したいです、インストラクターの方、船の操縦の方も楽しい方達で恐怖を感じる事なく楽しめました〜

The show itself was impressive and satisfying, but I was concerned about the cold indoors. It's better to bring a light long-sleeve shirt, even if you tend to get warm.

ショー自体は迫力満点で満足だったが、室内の寒さが気になった。
熱がりでも薄手の長そでを持って行った方が良い。

Do yourself a favor— book it. I had such a phenomenal experience & really am looking forward to come back! The staff go above & beyond to make sure you’re safe, enjoying your time, and that you feel welcomed. It was one of the highlights of my trip— you won’t regret it :)

Watching fireworks from the sea. I was worried about the weather due to the heavy rain the day before, but I'm glad it went ahead. From my seat, I couldn't take good photos because people's heads and sails were in the way. They changed the direction of the boat towards the end, but I wish they had done it a bit earlier so that everyone could see equally well. I think that's enough... It's better to watch fireworks from the beach.

海上からの花火鑑賞。
前日の大雨で天候が心配だったけど、決行出来て良かったです。
座ってる席からは人の頭や帆が邪魔をして上手く写真を撮れなかった。
船の向きをほぼ終わり頃に変えてくれたけど、もう少し早く、どの席の人も平等に見えるように変えてほしかったです。
これはもういいかな…
花火は浜辺から見た方がいいです。

At first, I was worried about whether I would be okay with heights, but once I got on the boat and it was our turn, soaring high into the sky, I felt amazing and was thrilled by the view.

最初は高所大丈夫かなと心配でしたが、いざボートに乗り込んで自分達の順番がきて、空高く舞い上がってみると、最高の気分、景色で興奮しました。

We participated as a family. We took a boat with about eight guests and went out to sea, where we were able to go parasailing in groups of two or three. The staff on the boat kept the atmosphere lively, and throughout the activity, the passengers enjoyed a friendly and cheerful time together.

家族で参加しました。
ボートに8人ほどのお客を乗せ沖に出て
2-3名づつパラセイリングさせてもらいました。
ボートの上ではスタッフさんが盛り上げてくれますし、アクティビティを通して、乗客も和気あいあいとしました。

The stage was close, and I could feel the breath and tension of the performers right in front of me. As expected from Cirque du Soleil, they skillfully blended Hawaii's nature with acrobatics. There was a sense of unity that brought people from all over the world together. The tall man in front of me noticed my height (156 cm) and kindly switched seats with the woman next to him. I was grateful for his gentlemanly behavior.

ステージが近く、目の前で行っている演者の息づかいや緊張感が伝わってきます。さすがシルクドソレイユ、ハワイの自然とアクロバットの融合を上手く演出していました。
世界中の人々とひとつになる一体感がありました。前の席の方が背の高い男性で、後ろの私(156cm)に気付き隣りの女性とチェンジしてくるました。紳士的行動にありがたかったです。

The initial date I had booked was canceled due to weather conditions. It wasn't raining, but it was probably quite windy. I received an email about the cancellation around 8:00 AM on the day of the event, so I recommend checking your email before heading to the location. If the event is canceled, you can choose to either get a refund or reschedule. I opted to reschedule. The process is completed on the Veltra website. Since bad weather is unavoidable, if you really want to go parasailing, it's a good idea to incorporate it into the earlier part of your Hawaii trip so that you can reschedule if it gets canceled. I appreciate that safety is prioritized.

It was my first time parasailing, and I was a bit scared, so I chose the 120m option. Even at 120m, it was high enough, and the view was beautiful, which made me very satisfied. The boat was small and quite fast, so it's better to take motion sickness medication beforehand. I filmed a video of my parasailing experience with a GoPro, and I'm glad I got some very immersive footage.

At one point, I was splashed into the sea and got a little wet, so it's better to wear a swimsuit. If you're bringing a camera or smartphone, I think it's a good idea to put it in a waterproof case just in case. Since I participated in January, it was a bit chilly, and wearing a rash guard was just right.

最初に申し込んでいた日は天候のためキャンセルになりました。雨は降っていませんでしたが、おそらく風が強かったのでしょう。当日の朝8:00頃メールでキャンセルの連絡があったため、当日現地に向かう前にメールチェックするのがおすすめです。キャンセルになった場合、払い戻すか、日程変更するか選べます。私は日程変更しました。手続きはベルトラのサイトで完結します。天候不良はどうしようもないので、パラセーリングを絶対したい場合はハワイ旅行の最初の方の日程に組み込んでおいて、キャンセルになっても日程変更できるようにしておくのも手です。安全第一で実施していただきありがたいです。

初パラセーリングで怖さもあり、高さ120mを選びました。120mでも十分高く、景色もとても綺麗で満足しました。船は小型でかなりスピードが出ます。酔い止めは飲んでいった方がいいです。
GoProでパラセーリング中の動画を撮影しましたが、とても臨場感がある動画が撮れて良かったです。
途中、海にドボンされ、少し濡れるので水着で行った方がいいです。カメラやスマホを持ち込む際は念の為防水ケースなどに入れると良いと思います。
1月の参加ということもあり、少し肌寒く、ラッシュガードを羽織っての参加でちょうど良かったです。

The Hawaii version of Cirque du Soleil "AUANA." The performances without safety ropes, high-altitude balancing, juggling, and skating—every performer was truly amazing! The entire show had a structure that made you feel the essence of Hawaii, and the sense of unity, as if all the guests were participating together, was really wonderful.

ハワイバージョンのシルク・ド・ソレイユ「AUANA」。命綱なしのパフォーマンスや高所のバランス、ジャグリングにスケートなど、どのパフォーマーも本当にすごい！の一言。演目全てにハワイを感じられる構成と、ゲストも全員で演じているような一体感がとても良かった。

Premier seat reservation for a family of four.
I was hoping to be seated on the front side, but we ended up on the edge of the front row. I was worried about whether we would be able to see properly, but it turned out to be quite impressive because we were so close (though we did get a little splashed).
I think the theater has good visibility with steps in all the seats, but if you have small children, it might be wise to be careful with your seat selection. If a larger person from Europe or America sits in front of you, you might not be able to see.

プレミアシート予約　家族4人
正面側になれば良かったのですが、最前列の端側でした。ちゃんと見えるかなと不安でしたが、端側でも問題ないどころか近いためかなり迫力があります。(少し水が掛かります)
全ての席に段差があり見やすい劇場かと思いますが、小さいお子さんがいる場合は席の選択を気を付けたほうがいいかも。前の席に欧米のカラダが大きな方が座ると見えないかもしれません。

I have seen Cirque du Soleil about eight times around the world. This time, I watched it in Hawaii, and it was so moving that I was brought to tears. The precision of the performances was, of course, impressive, but each individual composition was also wonderful. My family who accompanied me was also touched. I highly recommend that whether you come to Hawaii for travel, study abroad, or business, you make sure to see it.

今までシルクドソレイユは８回ほど全世界で鑑賞してきました。　今回ハワイで鑑賞しましたが、涙が出るほど感動しました。　演技のキレはもちろんですが、一つ一つの構成が素晴らしかった。　同伴の家族も感動していました。　ぜひハワイに旅行、留学、ビジネスどれで来ても、鑑賞する事お勧めします。

Congratulations to the entire company team and the instructors!

I participated in a tour that ended in the morning. The weather wasn't very good, and it was a bit chilly, but I didn't feel as cold as I thought I would when I got into the water. During snorkeling, there were many colorful fish, and I encountered a turtle a couple of times. Additionally, there was a pod of dolphins a little further out, making it a satisfying tour in a short amount of time. Next time I come to Hawaii, I want to recommend it to my friends and join them.

午前中で終了するツアーでしたので参加してみました。余り良い天候ではなく、少し肌寒い気温でしたが海に入ると思ったより寒く感じませんでした。シュノーケリングでは様々な色の魚がたくさんいて、カメさんにも２度程遭遇デキました。更に少し先の方にはイルカの群れがいてたりと短時間で色々と満足デキたツアーでした。次回、ハワイに来た時には友人達に勧めて一緒に参加したいです。

The weather was a bit bad, with many clouds, but Diamond Head looked very beautiful. Also, it was a great experience to see the rainbow at such a beautiful moment! The explanations and reception were provided in Japanese and simple English.

少し天気が悪く、雲は多かったですがダイヤモンドヘッドがとても綺麗に見えました。
また、虹がとても綺麗に見えるタイミングで良い経験になりました！
説明や受付は日本語と簡単な英語で対応いただけました。

We had a great experience parasailing. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. The crew was friendly, experienced, and we felt safe and well taken care of. Our group consisted of 2 adults and 4 teens (15 & 17 y/o). We were combined with one other family of 5.

I enjoyed a thrilling and exciting time. My son, who is in his third year of middle school, was also happy. Although my reservation was confirmed, the email from Veltra only registered one ticket, so I had to pick up another ticket at the service counter. However, the staff were kind, and even though the two of us couldn't speak English, we were assisted without any difficulty. It seems better to head to the reception early, as there were many people who entered just before the show started. I also remember seeing a note that drinks could only be purchased inside the venue, but it was quite vague. When I asked the staff checking tickets if I could bring in a plastic bottle, they just ignored the question.

ハラハラドキドキの時間を楽しめました。
中学3年の息子も喜んでいました。
予約は通っていましたが、ベルトラさんから送られてきたメールでは1名分しかチケット登録されていなくて、サービスカウンターでもう一人分のチケットを受け取る必要が生じましたが、スタッフの方も優しくて、英語喋れない二人でも苦労なく対応してもらえました。
こういうこともあるので、早めに受付に向かう方が良さそうです。
ただ、ほとんどの方は開演直前になって入場して来られる感じでした。
また飲み物は店内購入以外持ち込めないような記載があった気がしますが、わりとアバウトで、ペットボトル持込可能かをチケット確認のスタッフに聞いたら、スルーでした。

One of the best parts of my Hawaii experience was the time I had with these guys. They gave me an awesome time, and I’ve been talking about it all day the next day, lol.
