All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

This is my second experience, following last year. At first, I feel nervous, but it's very pleasant and a fun activity.

去年に続き、2回目の体験です。
初めはドキドキしますが、とても気持ちがよく、楽しいアクティビティです。

Start from the beach at the Royal Hawaiian.
When you show the VELTRA voucher (on your smartphone screen) at the poolside reception of the Royal Hawaiian, your check-in is complete. You can take off your shoes and have your bag stored. There may be someone who speaks Japanese among the staff.

We participated as two adults and three children (a high schooler, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and we all got on one canoe, along with the captain and the paddler, totaling seven people. Everyone except for the small children basically needs to paddle. It requires quite a bit of strength. It can be tiring.

However, the refreshing feeling of gliding smoothly over Waikiki Beach is wonderful. You typically make about three round trips. (There isn't much time to take photos, but I think it's possible to take selfies if you waterproof your device perfectly.)

Additionally, they take photos for you, and if you pay, they have a system to send them to you online. I think it was around $60.

ロイヤルハワイアンの砂浜からスタート。
ロイヤルハワイアンのプールサイドの受付にベルトラバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せると受付完了。靴を脱いで、バッグも預かってもらえます。女性の日本語がわかる方がいらっしゃる場合があります。

大人2人子供3人（高校生、中学生、小学生）で参加しましたが、1台のカヌーにのり、船長と漕ぎ手が乗り合計7人でのります。小さな子供以外は、基本的に漕ぐ必要があります。結構な力で漕ぎます。疲れます。

ただ、ワイキキビーチを颯爽と滑る爽快さは素晴らしい。大体３往復くらいしてくれます。（写真を撮る余裕はあまりないですが、防水完ぺきにして自撮りすることは可能と思います）

なお、写真は先方で撮ってくれていますが、お金を払えばネットで送ってくれるシステムです。60ドルくらいだった気がします。

You don't need to speak Japanese fluently; just asking a few questions will be fine. You can show the voucher from Veltra (on your smartphone) at the store, and they will understand.

First, you'll put on surf boots and a rash guard. (The boots are bundled with rubber bands by size, so just pick a pair. The rash guard is yellow for those in the photo pack and navy blue for everyone else.)

After that, you'll watch a short video and walk to the beach. *You can't take your wallet or smartphone with you, as you'll need to leave them in the store's locker. If you want to take photos, it's a good idea to ask a friend who isn't surfing to help.*

Once you pass in front of the Honolulu Zoo and reach the beach, you'll carry your board to the sand. There will be about nine participants with three coaches. After a brief practice of getting on and standing on the board, you'll head out immediately. You'll paddle out to the ocean on your own, which can be quite tiring at this stage.

Once you're out in the water, the three coaches will help you catch the waves, making it easy to ride. You'll be able to stand up right away. After that, you'll enjoy surfing back and forth for about an hour. In the later part, I often practiced catching waves on my own without relying on the coaches.

It's perfectly fine for children aged middle school and older.

日本語は基本通じませんが、適当に聞いておけばOK。
店舗でベルトラのバウチャー（スマホ画面）を見せれば伝わります。
まず、サーフブーツとラッシュガードを着ます。（ブールはサイズごとにゴムで束ねてあるので、適当に掃きましょう。ラッシュガードは写真パックの人は黄色、通常の場合は紺色と決まっています）

その後、簡単なビデオを見て歩いて浜まで行きます。
※財布やスマホなどは店のロッカーに預けるので、持っていけません。写真を撮りたい場合は、サーフィンをしない仲間に依頼すると良いかと思います。

ホノルル動物園の前を抜けて浜についたら、ボードを担いで砂浜まで。大体9人くらいの参加者に3人くらいのコーチが付きます。ボードに乗ったり、立ったりする練習を簡単に行えば、即出航です。自分でパドリングして沖まで行きます。この段階で結構しんどいです。

その後、沖に出たらコーチ3人が波を読んで押してくれるので簡単に乗ることができます。全然一発で立てます。その後、1時間くらい行ったり来たりしながらサーフィンを楽しみます。後半はコーチに頼らずに自分で波をつかむ練習をしていることが多かったです。

中学生以上の子供であれば、全然OKです。

This is a plan for an easy sunset cruising experience. The departure is from the back of the Prince Hotel. There’s a trolley stop nearby, making it convenient.

While Japanese is not spoken, it’s fine to ask questions as needed. You can wait comfortably at a nearby food stall area until departure. There are also restrooms available.

The safety agreement can be completed in advance or you can scan a QR code on-site. The page is in English, but it’s not too difficult, so it should take about 10 minutes to finish. You can complete it for your children as well.

The boat is a larger catamaran, and there is a restroom on board. Drinks can be purchased at the bar counter on the boat, but there is no food available.

After about 40 minutes out at sea, you will stop to wait for the sunset. During this time, everyone can jump into the water and have fun. Life jackets and floatation devices (the kind used in swimming classes) are available, but there are only a few and they are old.

■Preparation: If you want to enjoy yourself, be sure to bring floaties, snorkeling gear, etc. Also, as it can get cool (even chilly) on the boat when the sun sets, it’s essential to have a towel to dry off and a jacket. Regarding drinks, generally, outside drinks are not allowed, but it seems okay to sneak in a water bottle or something easy to consume (it’s not as strict as in Japan).

手軽なサンセットクルージングが出来るプランです。出航はプリンスホテルの裏側から。トロリーも近くに止まるので便利です。
日本語は通じませんが、適当に聞いておけばOKです。出航までは隣にある屋台村みたいなところで座って待っていれば大丈夫。トイレもあります。
安全の合意書は事前でもいいですし、その場でQRを読み込めんでも対応可能です。英語のページですが、そんなに難しくもないので10分くらいで完了。子供の分もセットで完了できます。
船は大きめの双胴船（ボート）です。中にトイレがあります。飲み物は船内のバーカウンターで購入可能。食べ物は基本ありません。
沖に出て40分くらい、夕日を待ちながら停留します。その間に皆、海の飛び込んで遊びます。一応、ライフジャケットと浮き具（水泳教室で使うような紐で括り付けるやつ）はありますが、数も少なく、古いです。
■準備：きちんと遊びたいなら、浮き輪、シュノーケリングセットなどをしっかりと持っていってください。また、日が落ちてくると船上は夏でも涼しい（寒いくらい）になることもおおいため、体を拭くタオルはもちろん、上着も必須です。飲み物については、基本は持ち込み不可ですが、カバンにペットボトルを忍ばせる、簡単に口にほうり込めるものを忍ばせるのは大丈夫そうです（日本ほどうるさくない）

We participated with our daughter and her husband, along with our one-year-old granddaughter. The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food! In a fun atmosphere, we headed to the show. I was worried about how our granddaughter would react since she is so small, but once the music started, she got into it and danced all the way to the end. She had the most fun of all! Thank you for the wonderful memories of Hawaii!

娘夫婦と1歳の孫娘と私達夫婦で、参加しました。ブッフェも、種類が多く美味しかったです！楽しい雰囲気のままショーへ　孫が小さいので、どうなるか心配でしたが、音楽がかかるとノリノリで踊りだして最後まで、孫が、一番楽しんでました。楽しいハワイの思い出をありがとうございました！

The cruise was a great experience! The captain was very good and friendly and the first mate was incredible setting up the boat, pouring drinks, taking pics, and being super friendly. This is definitely worth the price and much more, highly recommend!

We were all captivated by a wonderful show in Hawaii, which we visited for the first time since our honeymoon. Our one-year-old daughter was also smiling and having a great time!

新婚旅行ぶりのハワイでとても素敵なショーに家族みんなでずっと釘付けでした
1歳の娘もずっとにこにこ楽しんでノリノリでした！

We participated with our third-grade daughter as a family of three. We boarded the boat with two other families who also had children. I was worried that if we were paired two by two, one of us would end up with someone else, but all families were able to experience it together.

Since we were staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, the access was excellent as it was just a short walk along the lagoon. On the day of the experience, it was quite windy and the waves were rough, causing the boat to sway a lot, but none of us got seasick. My daughter was nervous during her first parasailing experience and was screaming, but once it was over, she surprisingly said, "I can do it again," which is a typical response for a third-grade girl.

About ten years ago, I had gone parasailing in Cebu, but parasailing in Honolulu was at an overwhelming height! The beauty of the sea and the scenery was amazing! It was the best!!!

As promised, we splashed into the sea, but thanks to the captain's technique, only our feet got wet. I had expected to be soaked, but we were hardly wet at all, and by the time the boat reached the harbor, our feet were dry. The photos (40 dollars, cash or credit card accepted) were taken very well, and they became truly great memories! I would love to try it again next time, this time at 150 meters.

At the beginning, we paid a dollar each in cash for an environmental protection tax, and we gave a tip of 20 dollars when we disembarked (the tip was not mandatory, but there was a note on the boat saying, "Please give 20 dollars!"). We also purchased the photos for 40 dollars on the way back.

小3娘と夫婦の３人で参加しました。
他にもお子さん連れのご家族２家族と乗船しました。
2人ずつの体験だと1人は別の人と一緒になるのかなと心配しましたが、いずれの家族も３人一緒に体験できました。
私たちはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジに滞在中だったので、ラグーン沿いに徒歩ですぐとアクセス抜群でした。
当日は風が強くて波も荒め、船は結構揺れましたが、誰1人船酔いすることはありませんでした。
娘は初めてのパラセイリングに緊張してキャーキャー叫んでいましたが、終わってみたら意外と楽しかったのか「またやってもいいよ」と小3女子らしい素直ではないお答え。。。
10年ほど前にセブ島でパラセイリングをしたことがありましたが、ホノルルでのパラセイリングは圧倒的な高さ！海のきれいさ！景色の美しさ！
最高でした！！！
お約束の海にバシャンも船長のテクニックで見事に足先だけ。ずぶ濡れを予想して行きましたが、ほとんど濡れず、船が港に着く頃には足も乾いていました。
写真（40ドル、現金でもクレカでもOK）もとても上手に撮ってもらって、本当にいい思い出になりました！
また、次回もトライしたいです。今度は150メートルで。

はじめに環境保護のための税金を1人１ドルずつ現金で支払い、チップを下船時に20ドル（チップなので絶対ではありませんが、船に20ドルチップが貼り付けてあって、『20ドルお願いね！』って感じでした。）、帰りに写真を40ドルで購入しました。

The sightseeing was enjoyable, and the explanations in Japanese were easy to understand, but I was disappointed by the number of souvenir shops we visited.

観光は楽しむ事が出来、日本語による説明もわかりやすかったのですが、お土産屋巡りが多くがっかりしました。

We started drinking early and enjoyed a leisurely meal in our usual Hawaii style, and decided to have some entertainment for a change. So, I went with my partner to Rock-a-Hula, which I had been curious about for a while.

I felt a bit anxious about the seating arrangement at the buffet, but there was a newlywed couple visiting from Korea right in front of us, and we had a great time chatting during the meal. An auntie with a ukulele came over to welcome us and asked for song requests, but she was not pushy at all. When I gave her a tip to thank her, she seemed quite flattered.

After the meal, we moved to the adjacent theater. Since it was a Monday and not too crowded, we were guided to the center of the front row, and they made sure to leave space between each group. From my seat, I could see the performers' expressions clearly, and the intensity of the fire dance was so powerful that I could feel the heat. The compact design of the theater allowed even those seated further back to enjoy the show fully.

The show was simply outstanding. Although it was on a different scale, it was comparable to the real Las Vegas performances featuring Elvis and Michael, with a wonderful Hawaiian twist added. I was captivated from start to finish. Even though the theater was only half full, everyone gave their all in their performances, which was truly moving.

The children in the families around us seemed a bit bored with Elvis and Michael, but they were really excited about the songs from Moana and the fire dance.

Thank you, everyone, for your hard work!

早めに飲み始めて食事してまったり過ごすいつものハワイで、たまにはエンタメを楽しもうと言うことで、以前から気になっていたロック・ア・フラに恋人と出かけてきた。
ビュッフェではどのような配席になるのか多少の不安も感じていたが、正面に韓国からハネムーンで訪れている新婚さんがいて、食事中も楽しく盛り上がった。またウクレレを持ったおばさまが歓迎の言葉と共に歌のリクエストを尋ねてきたが、押し付けがましさもなくお礼のチップを渡したら恐縮していた。

食後は隣接する劇場に移動し、月曜日でさほど混んでいなかったこともあってか最前列の真ん中に案内してもらい、またそれぞれのグループごとに一席ずつスペースを空けて座らせてくれた。因みに私の席からは出演者の表情がよく見え、ファイヤーダンスの火の熱を感じるほどの迫力だったが、コンパクトな造りなので後ろの方の席でも逆に全体が見渡せ十分楽しめるようだった。

ショーは流石の一言。規模こそ違えども本場ラスベガスのものと遜色のないインパソ（エルビス、マイケル）、そこにハワイのテイストが加わったとても素晴らしいもので、最初から最後まで夢中で楽しめた。また大きくない劇場に客の入りは半分ほどでも皆が手を抜かず、一生懸命のパフォーマンスには胸が打たれた。
周りにいた家族連れの子供たちは、やはりエルビスやマイケルにはちょっと退屈そうだったが、モアナの歌やファイヤーダンスには大盛り上がりだった。

皆さんお疲れ様さまでした！

Since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wanted to experience a luau, so I made a reservation. I participated with my wife and our two children, aged 7 and 4, for a total of four people.

On the day of the event, we gathered at 5:15 PM on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center and presented the voucher that was sent via email at the reception.

After being seated, we enjoyed a welcome drink of Mai Tai (the kids had a non-alcoholic Mai Tai), and after a short hula dance show, the meal began.

The meal included roast beef, roast pork, lomi lomi salmon, and fried noodles, which the kids really liked. There were also desserts like fruits and cake, which were satisfying.

As for the show, we had a very good view from the third row and enjoyed it. I was worried that the kids might get bored, but they were captivated by the fire show, and it seemed like they had a great time.

せっかくハワイに来たのであればルアウを体験したいと思い予約しました。
妻と7歳と4歳の子供の計4名で参加しました。

当日は17:15にロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4Fに集合で、事前にメールで送付されるバウチャーを受付に提示します。

着席後はウェルカムドリンクのマイタイ（子供にはノンアルコールのマイタイ）をいただいて、フラダンスの短いショーを見た後に食事開始となります。

食事の内容はローストビーフ、ローストポーク、ロミロミサーモン、フライドヌードルなどが子供たちには好評でした。
デザートもフルーツやケーキなどがあり、満足でした。

ショーについては前から3列目の席で非常に見やすく、楽しめました。
子供たちが退屈するのではないかと心配していましたが、ファイヤーショーには食い入るように見ており、子供たちも楽しめたようです。

I had a wonderful experience and made a unforgettable memory with mom. I was worried about the height because mom is so sold enough. But mom said "if we do again later, choose the higher one. It was very exciting. I wanted to stay longer up there". Never miss this experience. You will not regret it. I want to thank all of the staff who gave us the opportunity to make a goooood memory. I recommend this activity very very much.

The buffet before the show had flavors that suited Japanese tastes, and it was very delicious! The roast beef and roast pork, freshly sliced by the chef, were particularly exquisite. (The seasoning style allowed us to use our own condiments; I enjoyed mine with rock salt and wasabi.) The tofu poke and salmon poke were also tasty. There was dessert after the meal, and the strawberry gelato was especially delicious.

The show itself was very impressive. To entertain people of all ages, there were performers doing impressions of past artists, combined with hula elements. Personally, I found the part where the local fire dancer performed with fire to be the most captivating.

Overall, it was enjoyable, and I think it’s worth experiencing, including the food.

ショーの前のビュッフェは日本人の口にも合う味付けで、とても美味しく頂けました！
特にシェフが切り立てのローストビーフとローストポークが絶品でした。（味付けは各自調味料を使うスタイル。わたしは岩塩と山わさびでいただきました）取りものですと、豆腐のポケ、サーモンのポケが美味しかったです。食後のデザートもあったのですが、特にいちごのジェラートが美味しかったです。
ショー自体はとても迫力がありました。老若男女楽しめるよう、昔のアーティストのモノマネをされる方が登場し、フラの要素と掛け合わせているものでした。個人的には現地のファイヤーダンサーの方が火を使ってパフォーマンスしている箇所が一番見応えがありました。
総じて楽しく、ご飯の中身含めて一見の価値はあるかと思います。

The meals were served buffet style, and I was able to eat what I liked. They were quite tasty.
During the meal, there was a corner to watch and experience hula dancing.
The main show incorporated Hawaiian elements and featured Hawaiian music along with songs from Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, taking us through different eras.
To be honest, since I came all the way to Hawaii, I wished I could have enjoyed the traditional shows like hula dancing a bit longer. The Elvis performance was confidently presented and enjoyable, but I felt that the Michael Jackson segment could have been improved in terms of quality.

Regarding seating, VIPs had reserved front seats, but central seats were not guaranteed. (The VIP front center might refer to the central block.) There were no specific seat tickets, and staff encouraged us to sit in the order we entered.

Since the content featured a lot of older music, younger attendees might find it a bit hard to get excited. I think those in their 50s and 60s would enjoy it more.

お食事はブッフェスタイルで好きなものが食べられました。普通においしかったです。
お食事の間にはフラダンスを見たり、体験するコーナーがあります。
本編のショーはハワイ要素を盛り込んだショーとなっており年代を追いながらハワイアンミュージックとエルヴィスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソンの音楽を楽しむ内容でした。
正直な感想を言うと、せっかくハワイに来たのだからもう少しフラダンスなど伝統的なショーを長く楽しみたかったです。
エルヴィスに関しては堂々と披露されており楽しく拝見しましたが、マイケルに関してはもう少し完成度を高めて欲しかったと思います。

席に関してはVIPのため前方座席は確保されていましたが中央座席は保証されていませんでした。（VIPの前方中央というのは中央ブロックという意味なのかもしれません。）座席券は特になく、入った順番に着席するようにスタッフから促されます。

内容的には昔の音楽が多いので若い方は少し盛り上がりにくいかも。50〜60代の方くらいだと盛り上がれるかと思います。

I was the only Japanese person, but the lecture was in video format with Japanese subtitles, so there were no issues. When I actually went to the beach, there was someone who spoke Japanese and was very kind to me. This was my third surfing experience in Hawaii, and it was the most helpful instruction I received.

日本人は私1人でしたが、レクチャーはビデオで日本語字幕もあり問題なしでした。実際にビーチに行くと日本語の話せる方がいて丁寧に付き合って頂きました。ハワイで３回目のサーフィン体験でしたが一番親切に教えて頂きました。

Since we are visiting various places, the time spent at each location is relatively short, so it may not be suitable for those who want to enjoy things thoroughly. Personally, I was satisfied with the content. In particular, our guide, Daisuke, was friendly and explained things clearly in both English and Japanese. It seems there are various tours available, and I was interested in other tours as well. I think it's a tour I could recommend if someone asks me. I was a bit confused about the tipping, which is not common for Japanese people, but it would be appreciated if it could be included in the price. With that in mind, I can understand putting even one or two dollars into the tip box with a good feeling. Given the current weak yen, when they say 20% of the tour price for tips, it feels very expensive.

色々なところを回る分、一ヶ所の滞在時間が短めなので、じっくり楽しみたい人には向きません。
私的には満足の内容でした。特にガイドのだいすけさんは気さくで、英語と日本語で交互に説明してもらって分かりやすかったです。
色々ツアーがあるようで他のツアーにも興味がありました。
知り合いに聞かれたらおすすめできるツアーだと思います。日本人には馴染みのないチップには戸惑いましたが、できれば代金に含めてもらえるとありがたいです。その上で、１ドルでも２ドルでも気持ち良くチップボックスに気持ちを入れるのが納得できます。円安のおりなので、ツアー代金の20%とか言われるととても高く感じてしまいます。

We booked the Friday night Waikiki fireworks sail. It was fantastic. Our crew were friendly, helpful, and made it an enjoyable experience. My family had a wonderful time.

The food and live performance were absolutely amazing and created a great atmosphere! The buffet style and the variety of dishes (including desserts) made it a perfect choice to go there hungry. Additionally, there was a wide selection of alcohol and drinks! It was fun to have live music close to our seats and to interact with the staff.

We were able to enjoy the band performance up close, which was very exciting. The dance and songs, including those by Michael Jackson, really got everyone pumped up. I'm glad we could spend our last night in Hawaii having such a great time.

料理もライブもとにかく最高でとても盛り上がりました！バイキング形式なのと結構たくさん料理があるので(デザートも)おなかをすかせて行って大正解でした。また、アルコールやドリンクメニューも豊富でした！席の近くで生演奏をしてくれたり、スタッフさんが話しかけてくれたり、で楽しかったです。
バンド演奏も近くで聴くことができてとても盛り上がりました。
マイケルジャクソンなど、ダンスも歌もとっても盛り上がりました。
ハワイ最後の夜だったので楽しく過ごすことができてよかったです。

Sunset catarmaran sail was a blast! An ocean dance party pre-wedding night 5 July!

Walk onboard barefoot from the beach at Duke's through the gentle waves so put your fancy footwear in your bag or store your flipflops on board with all the others.

This was great value for money with the choice of two free-flowing cocktails throughout the trip.

Crew (skipper and ship's mate) are highly-skilled and friendly.

Perfect view of the Friday night fireworks, dont miss it!

Took our family out for a morning excursion, was a little disappointed that we didn’t go much further into the ocean or to a smoother cove. But we did see turtles & other fish around the coral! We can’t wait to get our disposable camera developed to capture our adventures! The Ke Kai provided all the equipment and safety briefings for snorkeling, all equipment was cleaned & sanitized before & after use.

Unfortunately, even through Dramamine & ginger ale 3 out of 4 of our family members got sick on the return ride to shore. The staff was sooo sweet and checked on us frequently! They took great care of us and recommended techniques to curb our seasickness that we didn’t expect to hit us so hard. I guess for us, it’s a good thing the boat ride was shorter off the coast than what we expected, lol

Overall excellent experience that got us off the beach and in the water! Would highly recommend this catamaran and crew!

This is my second time participating.
I can't speak English, but it's fun!
My 80-year-old mother joined me, and the staff and others around us supported us when getting on the catamaran.
We boarded while avoiding the waves from the sandy beach, but we still ended up getting wet up to our stomachs. Even in mid-July, the night breeze was cooler than I expected, so the beach towel I borrowed from the hotel came in handy as a blanket.
The fireworks were very beautiful, but the view of the hotel cluster at night from the boat was also lovely.
What stayed in my heart was unexpectedly how beautiful the stars floating in the night sky were.

二回目の参加です。
英語は出来ないけど、楽しい！
８０歳の母も一緒でしたが、カタマランに乗り込む際、スタッフ他周りの方もサポートしてくれました。
砂浜から波を避けながら乗りこみますが、やっぱりお腹の辺りまで濡れてしまいました。７月中旬でも夜風は思った以上に涼しかったので、ホテルで借りておいたビーチタオルがブランケット代わりにもなり役に立ちました。
花火もとっても綺麗ですが、船上から眺める夜のホテル群もとても素敵です。
そして、夜空に浮かぶ星々が思いがけず美しかったのが、心に残りました。

Thanks to our friendly guide, I was able to enjoy my first Segway experience. The two hours flew by in no time.

It was refreshing to feel the wind while gliding along. I could comfortably ride the Segway through sidewalks, parks, and coastal paths that would have been too far to walk and inaccessible by car.

The explanations related to the shops, plants, nature, sports, shopping centers, and universities along the way were also very interesting. During breaks, the guide took family photos for us, and at Kaka'ako Water Park, they even filmed videos, creating wonderful memories.

I greatly appreciated the detailed recommendations for restaurants and shops. At the end, they provided a guideline for tipping, so you can pay according to your satisfaction.

気さくなガイドさんのおかげで、はじめてのセグウェイを楽しむことができました。あっという間の2時間でした。

風を感じながら駆け抜けることができ爽快でした。徒歩だと距離があり、車では入れない歩道や公園、海辺の道などをセグウェイで快適に走ることができ気持ちよかったです。

道中のお店、植物、自然、スポーツ、ショッピングセンター、コンドミニアム、大学などなどに関連する解説もとても面白かったです。休憩のタイミングで家族の写真を撮ってくれたり、カカアコウォーターパークでは動画も撮っていただき、とても良い思い出になりました。

おすすめのレストランやショップも丁寧に教えていただき大変助かりました。最後にチップの目安額も提示されるので、満足度に応じて支払えば良いと思います。

At first, I thought it would be scary, but once I took off into the sky, it was over in no time, and I was able to enjoy the scenery. It was the best experience. The staff at the reception were also friendly and easy to talk to.

最初は怖いと思いましたが、空に舞い上がってからはあっという間で景色も楽しめて、最高の経験ができました。受付の方も気さくに話してくれました。

A great late afternoon experience. Hats-off to the crew for their organisation, quality of experience and setup on the cat. The kids were entertained on the foredeck (pitching seas seemed to be their gig) with the fore cargo nets, the music was great (well, our era anyway). The drinks were appropriate for the event...champers, beer and "boat mix". All were totally acceptable.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset "open bar" cruise and would definitely do it again.

It was a cruise where we went out to sea while listening to music and then returned. It was quite hot under the strong sun while the sun was high, but it became chilly as it set, so a jacket was necessary. Along the way, the boat stopped, and quite a few people jumped into the sea. Since there were many foreigners on the cruise, the atmosphere was lively and fun!

We went quite far out, and we could see the scenery beyond Diamond Head. However, it gets pretty bumpy out there, so I think it's safer to take motion sickness medication.

I heard that you need to fill out a waiver online in advance, but I didn't receive the email, and when I tried to scan the QR code on-site, it didn't work well either. I had printed the waiver and brought it with me, so I was fine, but for those who don't receive the email, I recommend contacting them in advance or bringing a paper copy.

音楽を流しながら沖まで行って帰ってくるクルーズでした。陽が高いうちは日差しが強く暑かったですが、沈んでくると肌寒く上着が必要でした。途中、船を停めてくれるので、海に飛び込んでいる人も結構いました。外国人が多いクルーズなので、テンションは高く楽しかったです！
結構遠くの方まで行くので、ダイヤモンドベッドを超えた辺りの景色まで見ることができました。
ただ沖の方は結構揺れるので、酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が安心かと思います。
事前に誓約書をwebで記載するそうなのですが、メールでくるはずが私は届かず、現地でQRコードを読み込んで試しましたがそれも上手くできませんでした。私は誓約書を印刷して持って行っていたので、それで事なきを得ましたが、メールが届かない方は事前に問い合わせるか、紙で持参すると良いと思います。

Good things:
1. Surprisingly, the inside of the submarine was spacious.
2. We properly went out to sea and boarded the submarine.
3. Was the submarine moving? Was it being pulled by something? In any case, it moved gracefully.
4. I saw a turtle, which really felt like Hawaii.
5. The fish were beautiful to see.
6. The crew was kind.

Disappointing things:
1. I thought there would be Japanese guidance, but there was none at all...
2. Did I need to install Japanese? I forgot to do that...
3. The meeting point was hard to find.
4. When there are a lot of people inside the submarine, it's difficult to peek out the windows.
5. I wish there were a few more attractions.
6. It would have been more fun if we could see a bit more fish.
7. The price they asked for the final photo was unusually high.

Capt JJ, Brandon and Alex were rockin young lads passionate about beautiful hawaii and making sure we respected her gorgeous waters. Very diligent about our safety from Alex with the snorkelling gear and the water with great knowledge from Brandon. Happy dayz and they make a mean mai tai. From da aussie

The venue is on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Building B. The shopping center has several buildings, so it's a good idea to check the location in advance to avoid getting lost.

Once you arrive at the venue, complete the check-in and receive your fresh flower lei before taking your seat. After sitting down, you can order drinks. Since we reserved VIP seats, we were able to order one Mai Tai cocktail and one other drink, totaling two drinks.

I was pleased that a non-alcoholic option for the Mai Tai cocktail was available. After that, we proceed to the buffet in order from the VIP seats. The dishes made with a variety of colorful ingredients are very appetizing. Additionally, it's reassuring that the buffet counter menu is also written in Japanese.

After getting our food, we enjoyed about 90 minutes of dinner time. There are ukulele performances and hula dance shows, so you won't get bored, and you can also go for seconds or dessert during this time. Towards the end of dinner, there is a hula dance experience that is optional and lasts about five minutes, making it easy to enjoy.

After dinner, we follow the staff to the show theater. We participated in the tour on our first day in Hawaii, but due to the darkness in the theater, our fullness, and jet lag, we found ourselves battling sleepiness during the show. I recommend participating on a day when you have more energy.

The show features a blend of hula dance, fire dance, and performances by artists impersonating past stars like Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley. There were explanations about the history of hula dance, but all the explanations were in English, so I couldn't catch the content. If you're not confident in your English, I think it would be enjoyable to at least familiarize yourself with songs by Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley beforehand. Additionally, the artist impersonating Elvis Presley walks around the audience, and if you're lucky, you might receive a scarf as a gift. They also come around to the back seats, so make sure to appeal to them with enthusiasm!

After the show, the performing artists are happy to take photos and give autographs.

It's a longer tour of over three and a half hours, but the staff are kind, and you can enjoy it without getting bored.

会場はロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンターのB棟4階です。ショッピングセンターはいくつか棟があり、慣れないと迷ってしまうので事前に場所は確認しておきましょう。
会場に着いたら受付を済ませ、生花のレイを受け取り座席につきます。着席したらドリンクを注文します。私たちはVIP席を予約したので、マイタイカクテル1杯とその他のドリンク1杯の計2杯を注文することができました。
マイタイカクテルはノンアルコールも選ぶことができたのが嬉しかったです。
そのあとはVIP席から順にビュッフェを取りに行きます。色とりどりの食材を使った料理が並び食欲がそそります。また、ビュッフェカウンターのメニュー表記には日本語が併記されているので心強いです。
料理を取った後は約90分間のディナータイムです。ウクレレ演奏やフラダンスのパフォーマンスがあるので飽きずに過ごすことができ、途中でおかわりやデザートを取りに行くこともできます。ディナータイムの終盤にはフラダンス体験がありますが、任意参加で5分程度なので気軽に楽しめます。
ディナータイムの後はスタッフの先導でショーシアターへ向かいます。私たちはハワイ初日にツアーに参加したのですが、シアター内の暗さと満腹感と時差ボケでショー中も睡魔との戦いが続いていたので、体力に余力のある日に参加することをお勧めします。
ショーはフラダンス、ファイヤーダンス、過去のスター（マイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリー等）に扮したアーティストのパフォーマンスが融合した内容になっています。フラダンスの歴史などについても説明があったようですが、説明は全て英語なので内容は聞き取れませんでした。英語に自信のない方は、せめてマイケルジャクソン、エルビスプレスリーの曲を予習していくと楽しめると思います。また、エルビスプレスリーに扮したアーティストは、客席を周り、運が良ければスカーフをプレゼントしてくれます。後ろの席にも回ってくるので全力でアピールしてみてください！
ショーの後は、出演アーティストが写真やサインに気軽に応じてくれます。

3時間半以上の長めのツアーですが、スタッフの方が親切で飽きることなく楽しむことができます。

Before boarding, I was really nervous, but the staff who love sharks helped ease my anxiety, making the wait enjoyable. Parasailing takes you up into the sky all at once, and that moment feels like an attraction, which is thrilling! But soon, I got to enjoy the incredible view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from above, which was absolutely amazing.

乗船する前はドキドキでしたが、サメが大好きなスタッフさんが、気分をほぐしてくれて待ち時間も楽しかったです。パラセイリングは一気に空へ連れていかれますが‥この瞬間がアトラクションみたいで興奮❗️でもすぐにワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを空から見るという最高の景色が味わえて最高でした。

Captain Ian and all the staff were very kind. The captain's special high cocktail was really delicious! It was an amazing experience to enjoy the drinks while watching the sunset!

船長のIanさんとスタッフの皆さん全員親切でした。
それに船長特製のハイタイカクテルほんとに美味しかったです！
お酒楽しみながら夕日も見れて最高に感動しました！
