All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

As others have mentioned, the boat arrived more than 10 minutes late for check-in. Even with non-English speakers present, there was no effort to speak slowly or accommodate them; all explanations were given in English.

We did get to see sea turtles, but it seemed like there weren't many that day, as we only encountered a couple of them coming up to the surface a few times.

他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。
そして英語圏ではない人が居ても、ゆっくり話すなど気を使うこともなく、全て英語での説明でした。

海亀は会えましたが、その日はあまり居なかったのか海面に上がってくる子に2、3回会えた感じでした。

I attended with my 7-year-old child. I was prepared for basic English, but thanks to Shoot's consideration, the magic show included some Japanese, allowing both my child and wife to understand and enjoy it very much. It was a type of magic that you don't often see in Japan, and it helped me rediscover its fun! If there's another opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

7歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
基本英語を覚悟してましたが、shootさんの心遣いで日本語も交えたマジックショーで子供も奥さんも理解しながら大変楽しく参加させて頂きました。
日本ではなかなか見ないマジックでしたが、改めてその楽しさを再発見させてもらいました！
また機会があれば是非参加させてもらいます。

Crew was very helpful and friendly. Plenty of turtles to see. Unforgettable experience

There is a reception area at the entrance of Aloha Port Harbor. It's number 61.

There was staff who could speak a little Japanese. The local people teach the basic fishing techniques in English.

We used squid as bait and dropped weights to the seabed to fish. If there were no bites, the captain would move the boat to find a new spot.

I had three incredibly strong bites, but they got away. I'm not sure what kind of fish they were.

It seems that any fish caught are generally released. They didn't cook them on the spot, but they could tell us the types and names of the fish.

The children who love fishing were having a great time.

The boat sways quite a bit, so motion sickness medication is essential. The sun is also strong, so sunscreen is a must.

It was refreshing to see Waikiki and Diamond Head from a different angle.

アラワイポートハーバの入り口に受付場所があります。61番です。

日本語を、わずかに話せるスタッフがいました。
基本的な釣りの手技は現地の人が英語で教えてくれます。

イカを餌にオモリを海底まで垂らして釣るというものでした。当たりがないと船長さんが船を移動させてスポットを探してくれます。

とてつもなく引きの強いアタリが、3度ほどありましたが逃げられてしまいました。何の魚だったのかは不明です。

釣れた魚は基本的にリリースするようです。その場で調理することはありませんでした。しかし魚の種類や名前は教えてもらえます。

釣り好きの子供達は楽しんでおりました。


船はかなり揺れますので酔い止めは、必須です。
日差しも強あので日焼け止めも必須です。

いつもと違う角度からワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドが見られるのでその点も新鮮でした。

This was my first time attending after several trips to Hawaii. At first, I thought it might not be that great, so I joined with mixed expectations, but the food was decent, and after the meal, there was singing and hula right there! Then we moved to the theater, and a full-fledged show began, featuring a collaboration of hula and rock! There was a tribute to Elvis and Michael (impersonation) in the hula performance. Although it wasn't full, everyone was really into it. It ended with the music from Hawaii 5-0! The approximately four hours flew by. I thought the price was cheap considering it included a buffet-style meal and a show. Some luaus in a certain H Village charge several hundred dollars just for the meal and hula, and the time is about half... I hope this is helpful for those considering it.

ハワイ旅行数回目で初めて行きました。
最初は大したことないのでは？と期待半分で参加しましたが、食事もまあまあだったし、食事が終わると歌とフラをその場で！
そのあと会場をシアターに移り、本格的なショーが始まり、フラとロックの共演！フラからプレスリーとマイケル（ものまね）ショー。満員ではなかったがみんなノリノリでした。
最後はHawaii5-0の音楽で終了!!時間にして約4時間があっという間の感じでした。
食事（ブッフェスタイル）が付いてショーが付いてこの値段は安いと思った。
某Hビレッジ内のルアウも食事とフラだけで数百ドル！時間も半分ぐらいだし・・・
検討されている方がいれば参考になればと思います。

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.

Wouldn't recommend.

Highly recommend for anyone a great family activity!

I was thrilled to see sea turtles. It's a rare experience, and if you go to Hawaii, it's definitely something you should do. I was satisfied with the many photos and videos I was able to take.

ウミガメが見れて感激。
なかなか出来ない体験でハワイへ行ったらぜひ行って欲しい体験です。
沢山写真に動画も撮れて満足でした。

Awsome experience with experienced guides.
Swam close to turtles en enjoyed sailing up and down the bay while sipping champagne.

I was able to visit various places and try a little bit of different foods, which was great. The guide provided information about the tourist spots and the surroundings, which was very helpful. The driver-guide took care of 13 people by himself, and even though I participated alone, I had a lot of fun.

色々と周れて、色々と食べれてちょっとづつの試食もありますが良かったです。
観光地や通りすがりに、ここはどんなとこだとか色々と話してくれて参考になりました。
運転の案内係さんが1人で13人を連れて回ってくれます1人参加でしたが、とても楽しく参加できました。

I’ve always wanted to go to a luau and this didn’t disappoint!! I enjoyed the food, the entertainment while we ate and the desert! My friend and I also got some hula lessons!! A huge highlight for me, I’ve always wanted to try hula dancing. After dinner we got to see the show, with performances from the 1940s up to the present! I especially liked the fire dancing. My friend and and I enjoyed this experience and I would say it was worth it! So if you’re like to have a luau experience with a rocking show, I would recommend trying this.

Really enjoyed this unique experience. Fireworks lasted for a decent amount of time. Boat ride was very bumpy, but it was also my first time on a boat so I wasn't sure what to expect, also sat at the front of the boat, which probably didn't help.

(About the meeting place)
It was noted that we should arrive 30 minutes early, but I was a bit late. I mistakenly got off at the wrong bus stop and dashed over, but even being 2-3 minutes late didn’t seem to matter much.
*Since it’s a bit of a walk from the bus stop, I recommend allowing extra time.

(At the reception)
A girl in her late teens assisted me without checking any documents. After confirming my name on a tablet, I wrote my name in two places on the confirmation document and waited about 20 minutes on a bench. She was very pleasant. She warned me to be careful as the bench was hot from the sun.
*It might be a good idea to bring a pet bottle since there’s no supermarket nearby and there’s little shade where you wait.

(About the boat)
It’s a smaller boat that takes about 10-15 minutes to head out to sea.
*At first, it goes slowly, but midway it picks up speed unexpectedly, causing the boat to rock quite a bit, so I definitely recommend taking motion sickness medication. Even holding onto the boat’s ramp, your body can feel weightless. In front of us, a boy who looked like he was in elementary school seemed to have gotten seasick, as he returned pale and lethargic.

(About luggage and photos)
There’s a hole under the boat seats where you’re instructed to put all your belongings. You can take out your phone to take photos and videos during the ride, but since it gets quite bumpy, it might be better to take them at the beginning.

(About parasailing)
You put on the equipment and life jacket and wait your turn. There are two people, one who operates the equipment and another who explains how to put it on. The person explaining was humorous and spoke to us in Japanese, which made it easy to enjoy. When they realized there were Japanese people, they spoke in Japanese after English, which was very kind of them.

Even a child in our group who seemed scared at first got used to it once we were up, and when they came down, they looked like they had a lot of fun, so I think it’s fine.

The only scary parts were getting out to sea on the boat and the moment of going up, but once you’re up, it’s totally fine! I was amazed by the blue of the ocean.

After going up, you can touch the sea. They take a lot of photos while you’re going up and coming down, so if you have time, you might want to pose.

(After finishing)
After it was over, they asked if I wanted to purchase the photos. They were a bit pricey, but I bought them as a keepsake. It was convenient as the photos were immediately available by connecting to a computer.

Since my body was wet, I walked for about 3 minutes to Waikiki Beach and swam right away.

（待ち合わせ場所について）
30分前には必着と注意書きにありましたが
少し遅れてしまいました。
バス停を一つ間違えてダッシュしましたが
2.3分遅れても、あまり気にしてない感じでした。
※バス停から少し歩くので余裕を持って行った方が
　良いと思います。

（受付）
女の子（10代後半位）が対応してくれて
書類も確認なしで、タブレットで名前確認をしたら

（近くにスーパーがない、待つ所は日陰が少ない）

（船について）
小さめの船で10〜15分で、
沖の方に連れて行ってくれます。
※序盤はゆっくりだが、中盤からスピードが思いの外でて、船が上下してだいぶ揺れるので酔い止めは必ず飲むべきだと思います。
船のスロープをもっていても体が浮きます。
自分達の前の組で小学生位の男の子が、
恐らく酔ったのか、顔が青ざめてぐったりして帰ってきてました。

（荷物•写真などついて）
船の椅子の下に穴が空いてるのでそこに荷物全部入れるように指示があります。
携帯途中出して写真や動画撮影OKですが、揺れが強くなるので撮るなら最初の方に撮ったほうがいいかも。

（パラセーリングについて）

操縦してくれる人と説明器具装着をしてくれる人
２人で、説明•器具装着の人はユーモア交えて日本語で話しかけてくれるので安心して楽しめました。
日本人がいると分かると、英語の後日本語で話してくれるのでとても優しかったです。

同じグループの小学生位の子でも、最初は怖がっていたけどいざ上がったら慣れるので降りてきたら
とても楽しそうにしてたので大丈夫だと思います。


怖いのは船で沖に出るまでと、上に上がる瞬間位で
いざ上がれば全然平気でした！
海の青さに感動しました。

一度上まで上がった後、海につけられます。
上に上がるまでと降りるまで写真をたくさん撮ってくれるので、余裕があればポーズとってもいいかも

（終了後）

終わったら、写真を購入するか？ときかれます。
少し高いですが、記念で買いました。
パソコンから線を繋いですぐに写真が入るので便利でした。

体が濡れてたので、右の方に徒歩3分くらいでワイキキビーチにいけるのでそのまま泳ぎました。

We had the most amazing night doing the luau and show. The hospitality was so beautiful, it was the best activity we did in waikiki. We travelled from New Zealand and appreciated how they sang us a maori song. The show was outstanding, we could not fault one thing. Thank you for the amazing time and showing us your beautiful culture.

Me and 3 friends came here and were blown away. The food was absolutely stunning and the entertainment was unreal. We travelled from New Zealand and were serenaded with a special maori (native language of NZ) song. The hospitality was just beautiful and the show was super fun!! Would recommend this over any other ones.

Everyone involved were fantastic. The crew on the boat were unreal and hilarious. Would highly recommend. Great bunch of people.

This tour is a lot of fun as you can really feel like you're abroad, with all the other guests being foreigners. On the day of the tour, we were told it would be the best day ever, and when we arrived, we saw 5 to 6 turtles sleeping on the ocean floor, which was a sight I had never seen before. Of course, there were also many turtles swimming around, and during snorkeling, it was filled with turtles. I was surprised to see so many turtles in Waikiki.

After snorkeling, we enjoyed a cruise while listening to famous international songs, taking in views of Waikiki hotels and Diamond Head. We raised the sails and sped up, enjoying a leisurely time with a pleasant breeze.

Don't forget to bring tips!

私たち以外全て外国人のお客様なので、海外にいることを感じられ、とても楽しめるツアーです。当日、今日は最高の一日になる、との説明があり、期待して行くと、カメが海底でくっついて5～6匹寝ており、こんな光景は初めてでした。勿論、泳いでいるカメも何匹もいて、シュノーケル最中はカメだらけでした。こんなにもワイキキにカメがいるとは驚きでした。
シュノーケル後は、海外の有名な曲を聴きながら、ワイキキのホテルやダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めながらのクルージング。帆を上げてスピードアップをしながら、心地よい風と共にゆっくり過ごしました。
チップを忘れないで持っていって下さい。

I was told there would be an English guide, but they used simple Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it without any problems. I'm glad I could try parasailing in Hawaii for the first time! The ocean was beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly. They took a lot of photos for me (for $40), creating the best memories! I got more seasick than I expected, so those who are prone to motion sickness should be careful.

英語案内ということでしたが、片言の日本語を使ってくれたので特に問題なく楽しめました。
初めてのパラセーリングをハワイでできて良かったと思います！
海が綺麗で、ダイヤモンドヘッドがよく見えて、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて（40ドル）最高の思い出です！
思ったより船酔いしたので、酔いやすい方はご注意です。

It was my first time parasailing. The weather was great, and the sea was beautiful—absolutely amazing! The boat ride was full of thrills. I want to do it again!

初めてのパラセイリングでした
天気も良く、海もキレイ最高でした
ボートもスリル満点
また、やりたい‼️

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, but there was a wide variety of drinks, and I enjoyed the humorous announcements as well.

あいにくお天気よくなかったんですが、ドリンクも豊富でしたし、ユーモアたっぷりなアナウンスも楽しみました。

There were other ships participating, but this was my first time. I got the impression that it was a solid company, as I checked in at the counter of the cruise company located in the hotel and went over the liability waiver. The sunset finally began on the return trip, offering a different impression from the outbound journey. They mentioned unlimited drinks, but I didn't particularly like the taste of the free drinks and couldn't finish one. Beer and champagne are available for an additional charge. Occasionally, there were large waves, so the ship had its unique rocking motion. I saw someone who couldn't move due to seasickness, so I think it's better for those who are really sensitive to have motion sickness medication. In any case, I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a luxurious 90 minutes of doing nothing.

他の船での参加はありましたたが、こちらは初めて。ホテル内にある船会社のカウンターでチェックインを受け免責についてチェックをするなどしっかりした会社という印象。サンセットは復路からようやく始まり、往路とはまた違った印象が味わえます。飲み放題とのことですが、無料のドリンクの味はあまり好みではなく１杯飲みきれず、ビールやシャンパンは別料金です。時々大きな波がくるため船独特の揺れはあります。船酔いで動けなくなった方がいたので本当に弱い方は酔い止めがあったほうが良いと思います。とにかく９０分、何もしない贅沢な時間を味わいたい方におすすめです。

I returned home on a flight tomorrow afternoon, and I went there the night before. The location might be hard to understand just by reading about it, but there are clear video explanations on Instagram and other platforms, so checking in advance should help you navigate smoothly.

The food had a good balance of flavor and portion size (it's a buffet, so it's up to you). I mentioned that I have allergies regarding the welcome drink, and they kindly exchanged the Mai Tai for another soft drink.

The show likely resonates differently depending on your generation and preferences, so there might be moments that appeal to me and others that appeal to you. However, I enjoyed the entire show while maintaining the initial momentum.

Here are two pieces of advice for those who will be going:
(1) Check in a bit early. We arrived around 5:10 PM, and there were already quite a few guests seated. It gets crowded close to the deadline, and joining the buffet after the time has passed can feel like you're missing out.
(2) Use the restroom before the meal time ends. The transition to the theater happens suddenly and orderly, and once seated, it’s difficult to leave (this is generally true overseas, so it’s best to go when you can rather than thinking you’ll go later).

明日はお昼の飛行機で帰国、という夜に行ってきました。
場所は文章で読むと分かりにくいですが、Instagramなどでも分かりやすく動画説明されていていますので事前チェックしておけば迷わずスムーズかと思います。
食事は程よい味と量(ビュッフェなのでご本人次第)。ウェルカムドリンクはアレルギーがあるのでとお願いしたらマイタイから別のソフトドリンクに交換していただけました。
ショーはおそらく世代や趣向によって刺さるツボが違うので、ある場面では私が、別の場面ではあなたが、というノリになるかと思いますが、最初の勢いを維持したままショー全体が進行し楽しめました。
これからいかれる方へのアドバイスとして2点。
(1)少し早めにチェックインする。我が家は17:10頃に行きましたが既に先客がそれなりに着席されていました。締切間際は混むのと、時間すぎてからビュッフェに参加するのは出遅れ感出てせっかくなのに残念です。
(2)お手洗いは食事の時間が終わる少し前までに済ませておく。
シアターへは突然かつ整然と移動することになり、着席後は離席もしにくいです(海外全般の話になるかと思いますが、後で行こうとは思わずに行ける時に行く、というのが基本)。

I participated in a plan that included a luau. As soon as I arrived, I received a lei and a Mai Tai, and enjoyed a delicious buffet while watching hula dancing. We then moved to the Royal Hawaiian Theater, which was just a short distance from the dinner venue, and enjoyed the show with a drink from the bar in hand. The show lasted a little over an hour and featured a perfect blend of Hawaiian music history and famous Western songs, keeping us entertained throughout. The cast had wonderful smiles, but I was particularly overwhelmed by the final fire knife dance. I highly recommend visiting if you find yourself in Hawaii.

ルアウ付きのプランで参加しました。
到着次第レイとマイタイをもらい、フラダンスを眺めながら美味しいビュッフェをいただきました。
夕食会場からすぐのロイヤルハワイアンシアターに移動して、バーで貰ったお酒を片手にショーを楽しみました。
1時間あまりのショーでしたが、ハワイ音楽の歴史と有名な洋楽とが丁度良い配分で披露され、飽きずに楽しめました。
キャストの皆さん笑顔が素敵でしたが、特に最後のファイアーナイフダンスに圧倒されました。
ハワイに訪れた際は是非足を運ぶことをオススメします。

We decided to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon and booked parasailing through this site!

The small hut was a bit hard to find, but we arrived safely, and there were eight of us, including my husband and me! The others were all foreigners! The explanations were in English, so I didn't understand everything, but I got the gist of it (laughs).

It was a bit cloudy, which was a shame, but it felt amazing! The view of the Hawaiian sea was the best!

ちょっと曇りだったのが残念ですが
とても気持ちよかったです！
ハワイの海を一望できて最高でした！

We did not have the dinner. We only purchased show tickets. The show was enjoyable. A mix of Hawaiian tradition with some rock and roll.

Our para sailing adventure at 9am with a party of five people was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, the captain and crew warmly welcomed us and made sure we were ready for an unforgettable experience. As we soared through the sky, the panoramic views were breathtaking, and the early morning light added an extra touch of magic to the scenery. The camaraderie among our group made the experience even more enjoyable, with laughter and excitement filling the air. The captain and crew were not only skilled professionals but also incredibly nice, ensuring that each member of our party felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. I can't recommend this para sailing experience enough - it's the perfect way to start your day with adventure and unforgettable memories!

Always a great time. We’ve been twice with them. And they are just nice people

I participated with my 9-year-old child. On the day of the event, there were strong winds and high waves, which made the ride quite bumpy until we reached the point. My child was initially scared of the wind and the rocking, but in the end, it seemed like they gained a sense of accomplishment and really enjoyed it.

9歳の子供と参加しました。
当日は風が強く波が高かったこともあり、ポイントに着くまでかなり揺れました。子供はこの風と揺れに最初は怖がっていましたが、最終的にはやり遂げた満足感を得られたようで、とても楽しんでいました。

I'm glad I was able to enjoy food that can only be experienced in Hawaii. However, even though the meeting time was at 5:30 PM, we didn't start eating until around 6:15 to 6:30 PM, which was quite a wait. The food is delicious, so I recommend it for those who are patient.

It was great that the waiter communicated with us in Japanese.

The show was very entertaining, and we had good seats. The venue was cold, so it's better to bring a jacket. It was a great experience to see hula dancing from various generations. The performances, including those mimicking Elvis and Michael Jackson, got the audience excited, but for kids and younger generations like us, it wasn't very familiar, so we couldn't tell how similar they were. The kids were fast asleep. But it was really cool. I highly recommend it for people of that generation!

ハワイでしか体験できないご飯が食べられてよかったです。しかし、集合が17時30分なのに、ご飯を食べ始められたのは18時15〜30分ととても待ちました。ご飯はおいしいので気が長い方にはおすすめです。
ウェイトレスのお兄さんが日本語を交えながらコミュニケーションをとってくれてよかったです。

ショーはとても面白く、いい席で見せてもらえます。ショー会場は寒いので上着があった方がいいです。様々な年代のフラダンスを見れていい経験となりました。
レイビス？やマイケルジャクソンのモノマネで会場が盛り上がりますが、子供や若い世代の自分たちには馴染みが薄く似ているかはよくわからなかったです。子供は爆睡していました。でもとてもかっこよかったです。世代の人はとってもおすすめです！！

I usually don't take boats because I get seasick, but I've been coming to Hawaii for about 40 years. I've always watched the boats depart from the hotel, so I decided to challenge myself! I can hardly speak English, but I still felt really good about it. ⛵⛵⛵

酔うので船は乗ることがないのですが、HAWAIIに来始めて約40年。ホテルからいつも出港するのを見ていてせっかくなのでチャレンジ！私は殆ど英会話はできませんが、それでもとても気分が良かったです⛵⛵⛵
