All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

The staff & crew aboard boat were amazing! All the good vibes & energy were there from the moment we walked up to departure. Drinks were flowing, DJ was playing great tunes, opportunity for amazing photos & videos, and ability to take advantage of all parts of the boat. There were other boats full of people looking at ours that were jealous because of how much fun we all were having!! Highly recommend & would book again when we travel back to Hawaii….10/10!!!!!

I have a slight fear of heights, but I participated. The wind was strong and it was scary, but the fun outweighed the fear. Motion sickness medication was a must.

少し高所恐怖症ですが、参加しました。
風が強くて怖かったけど楽しさのほうが勝ちました。
酔い止め必須でした。

It was an amazing day! I was lucky to see both seals and turtles. It was a rare experience to enjoy food unique to Hawaii. The garlic shrimp was incredibly delicious! Although I participated alone, I was grateful that Kanako talked to me a lot. It was a meaningful day with many conversations! Thank you, Takashi, for the poetry recitation!

丸一日が、あっと、ゆーまでした！
アザラシもカメも見れてラッキーでした。
ハワイならではの食べ物も食べれて貴重な体験でした。ガーリックシュリンプ最高に美味しかった〜
1人参加でしたが、カナコさんがたくさん話しかけてくれてありがたかったです。お話もたくさんして下さり有意義な一日でした！タカシさん、詩吟ありがとうございました！

Great adventure for family or friends. The crews are friendly and helpful. They assist when loading the boat and while traveling to and from the sailing area. The office lady is kind and helpful.

I participated in a VIP experience to see hula dancing and fire dancing during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii!

First, I was guided from the show's back room to the VIP room, where champagne and snacks were served, really elevating the mood! The staff explained everything while escorting us from the back room to the stage, and I got to wear a costume on my head, which was a precious experience.

During the meal, we were welcomed with songs played on the ukulele and enjoyed hula dancing. The VIP treatment was great, allowing us to go to the buffet first and included drinks, and the food was seasoned in a way that was easy for Japanese people to enjoy! The fried fish was incredibly delicious! The Mai Tai was the easiest drink to enjoy.

The main show was overwhelming in scale compared to overseas performances, and it was incredibly fun! There were Hawaiian songs, songs from Moana, and of course, hula dancing, along with impressive performances featuring humor from Elvis and Michael. The fire dancing was breathtaking! As VIPs, we got to sit in the front row, so we could feel the heat and enjoy the proximity to the performers, which added to the excitement!

At the very beginning, we were given a commemorative photo in the VIP room, making it the best memory of our honeymoon trip!!!

ハネムーンハワイ旅行の思い出にフラダンスや、ファイヤーダンスが見たくVIPで参加しました！
まずはショーのバックルームからVIPルームに案内されシャンパンやおつまみが振る舞われ、気分が高まります！！
スタッフがバックルームからステージまで説明しながら案内してくれて、頭につける衣装もつけさせてもらい貴重な体験でした。
食事の際には、ウクレレで歌の歓迎や、フラダンスが見られます。優先的にビュッフェに取りに行けたりドリンクがついていたりとVIP待遇もよく、食事も日本人にも食べやすい味付けでした！魚のフライがめちゃうまです！ドリンクはマイタイがいちばん飲みやすいです。
メインショーでは、海外の規模に圧倒されっぱなしで、最高に楽しいです！ハワイの歌、モアナの歌、フラダンスはもちろん、エルビスやマイケルの笑いありの演出が印象的です。ファイヤーダンスに関しては圧巻です！VIPは最前列で見られるので、温度感や、パフォーマーとの距離が近いのでより迫力を楽しめます！
一番はじめにVIPルームでの記念写真をプレゼントされるので、ハネムーン旅行最高の思い出になりました！！！

It was a very windy day, so it was really shaky and scary, but I had a lot of fun. The view was amazing. I'm not good with drops on roller coasters, but this one was fine for me. The boat also swayed, so motion sickness medication was essential. We were fine because we had drinks, but about four other people on the boat seemed to be struggling with motion sickness. Since it sways in the air as well, those who are prone to motion sickness should be cautious.

風が強い日だったので、すごく揺れて怖かったけど、とても楽しかったです。
景色、最高でした。
ジェットコースターなどの落ちるところが苦手ですが、これは大丈夫でした。
船も揺れるし、酔い止めは必須でした。
私たちは飲んでいたので大丈夫でしたが、同船していた他の方は4人くらい酔っていて辛そうでした。
上空でも揺れるので酔いやすい方は注意が必要です。

We have taken the sunset booze cruise several times in Hawaii. We enjoy it thoroughly… We love how the crew engages everyone and wants everyone to have a great time! We will book this again next time we come to Oahu!

I wanted to see a wonderful hula dance while in Hawaii, so I signed up for this tour. I did some research and found various outdoor venues, but I chose this all-weather facility.

As a result, it was a good decision as the air conditioning was effective. I participated in a plan that included front-row seating and a backstage tour, where the manager personally explained the costumes and equipment.

On the day of the event, there were only three groups participating in this plan, allowing us to enjoy a luxurious experience.

The buffet was delicious, plentiful, and I was very satisfied. When I went to get food, I was prioritized among many participants, which made it feel special.

After the meal, I got to see the hula dance from the front row, which was the best time. There were also shows featuring impersonators of famous people and fire dances, all of which were fantastic. Being able to enjoy a beer while watching was a luxurious experience.

If you're looking for hula dancing, I recommend booking this plan at Rock-a-Hula.

ハワイでせっかくなら素晴らしいフラダンスを見たいと思いこちらのツアーに申し込みました。
いろいろ調べて屋外会場のところもありますが、こちらの全天候型の施設を選びました。

結果、空調も効いていて正解でした。
最前列かつバックヤードツアーもあるプランで参加して、マネージャーから直々に衣装や設備など説明を受けました。

当日はこのプランの参加は3組で贅沢な時間を、過ごすことができました。

ブッフェも美味しく、ボリュームもあり大満足でした。
取りにいくときもたくさんの参加者の中で最優先で案内されて特別感がありました。

食事後はお目当てのフラダンスを最前列で見れて最高の時間でした。
有名な方のそっくりさんのショーやファイヤーダンスも見れどれも素晴らしかったです。
ビールを飲みながら鑑賞できるのも贅沢な時間でした。

フラダンスであればロック・ア・フラ、その中でもこのプランで予約されることをお勧めします。

Was our last night and it made for a nice ending to our vacation. Beautiful views, nice music, and the BYOB. Tour guides explained safety and pointed out wildlife.
Expected to see more wildlife and I understand it's not a guarantee but felt the "glass bottom boat" description was a bit misleading. The glass bottom refers to maybe 4 small square areas on the boat you can look down and see a clear panel that shows what's in the water. Can't get up close or anything. Took 1 star off for that.
Other than that, it was still a fantastic time, and my family really enjoyed it.

2nd time with this group and had a great time. Service was great and staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
Will make this a part of my vacation every time I'm here.
Definitely recommend 10/10!!!!

The Royal Hawaiian Center on the 4th floor of Waikiki's bustling area has excellent access! I debated whether to get a ticket with a buffet dinner, but I didn't want to be restricted by time, so I opted for just the viewing ticket and enjoyed a leisurely dinner at a restaurant within the center.

The seating is arranged in a circular shape with 180-degree views, divided into three blocks, with the center being reserved seating and the sides being general seating. Since it was a weekday night, there were only about a third of the seats filled on the day I attended.

The show included hula dancing, a live performance by two superstars, fire performances, and Disney songs, making for a fun night that really lifted my spirits!

ワイキキ繁華街のロイヤルハワイアンセンター4階の常設施設内なので、アクセス抜群です！
ブュッフェディナー付きのチケットか悩みましたが、時間の縛りが嫌だったので観覧のみのチケットにして夜ご飯はセンター内のレストランでゆっくり過ごしました。
席は180度円形型の座席で、3ブロック分かれている内の中央が指定席、左右が自由席のようです。
平日の夜だったこともあってか、観覧した日は三分の一くらいのお客さんでした。
フラダンンス＋スーパースター2名のライブ＋ファイヤーパフォーマンス＋ディズニーソングと盛りだくさんの内容で、テンションが上がる楽しい夜が過ごせました！

I have seen fireworks from other catamarans several times. At that time, I boarded from the pier and didn't get wet, but this time I had to enter the sea from the sandy beach and climb up the stairs, so I got quite wet and it was cold. The same was true when getting off; everyone ended up covered in sand and it was a hassle. Many people were angry. I think it would have been better if they had informed us that we would have to enter the sea when boarding and disembarking. I would have liked a place to wash my feet and towels when we got off.

何度か他のカタマランで花火を見た事があります。
その時は桟橋からの乗船で濡れる事はは無かったのですが　今回は砂浜から海に入って階段を登るのでかなり濡れてしまい寒かったです。
降りる時も同じで皆、砂だらけになってしまい困っていました。
怒ってる方も沢山いました。
乗船する時、降りる時海に入る事を書いておいてもらえたら良かったと思います。
降りた時足を洗う所とタオルが欲しかったです。

We had a great time! Unlimited drinks on the water, why not?!?

This time, the scheduled date and time were canceled due to bad weather, so we quickly changed it to the next morning. I had originally booked for lunchtime, hoping to see the beautiful ocean, but in the morning, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the sea looked a grayish blue. When I looked straight down, it was incredibly high and really scary! (150m)

I tackled it with my 5-year-old and my 6th grader in between us, and it seemed the kids had fun and wanted to do it again. Later, my parents, who are over 70, also tried it, and they said it wasn't as scary as I made it out to be. I'm sure it would be enjoyable if you don't look straight down.

Considering the price, the duration was long, and I thought it was very cost-effective.

今回、予定していた日時が天候不良で中止になり、急遽、翌日の朝イチに変更しました。もともとお昼の時間帯を予約していたので、海のキレイさが見られることを期待していましたが、朝イチはまだ日も射しておらず、海がグレーのようなブルーでした。なので、真下を見てみると、すっごく高くてめちゃくちゃ怖かったです！（１５０ｍ）
５歳の子どもと小６の子どもに挟まれて、３人で挑みましたが、子どもたちは楽しかったようで、またしたいと言っていました。
その後、７０を超えた両親も挑みましたが、私が騒ぐほど怖くなかったと言っていました。真下を見なければ、きっと楽しいと思います。
値段の割に時間も長く、とてもコスパは良いと思いました。

I participated in parasailing for the first time. The operation was handled by two English-speaking guys. Both of them were in a great mood, which really lifted my spirits. The parasailing was very stable in the air, and I was able to relax. I didn't get too wet during the landing, which was nice. The photo shoot cost $40, and I paid for it on-site.

はじめてパラセイリングに参加しました。
オペレーションされるのは英語話者のお兄さん二人でした。お二人ともご機嫌でこちらまでテンションが上がりました。
パラセイリングは上空ではとても安定しており、のんびりすることができました。着水時もあんまりぬれず、よかったです。
写真撮影は$40でした。現地にて支払いました。

I was first guided backstage, where I was able to take photos in a VIP room! While waiting in the lounge, they served delicious light snacks like prosciutto and drinks, which were very tasty. The dinner buffet was also delicious, and it included two drinks, making me feel like I got a great deal. There were even desserts, so I was able to enjoy a variety of Hawaiian dishes all at once, which was fantastic. During the show, there were appearances by performers dressed as Michael Jackson and Elvis, which was a lot of fun. I definitely want to participate again!

最初バックステージへ案内され、VIPルームのようなところで写真をとれました！また、待合室で待っている間は生ハムなどの軽食とドリンクが配られ、とても美味しかったです。
夜ご飯のビュッフェもどれも美味しくて、飲み物も2杯も含まれていた、とても得した気持ちでした。デザートまであったので、ハワイの料理を一気に食べられて最高でした。
ショーでは、マイケルジャクソンと、エルビスの姿の方が現れて、とても楽しいものでした。
またぜひ参加したいと思います！

I had the best time on this tour. Our tour guide was amazing he was the best. The waterfall was awesome to swim in but you had to walk at least 30 min to get there which was not a bad hike at all. The scenery was beautiful and I even got a glimpse of a peacoke. The tour paid for coffee breakfast and lunch which was delicious. After the hike we went to Dole Plantation for dole whip which is pineapple ice cream.

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to see a hula show, and I found this tour while searching for one.

I booked the Green Room experience, where we were introduced to the backyard before the show, enjoyed champagne and light snacks in the Green Room, and even got to stand on the stage. The commemorative photos taken in the Green Room were developed after the meal, making for a great souvenir.

After the backyard tour, we had a buffet, and we were prioritized for seating among many guests, receiving a super VIP treatment. By the way, drinks included champagne in the Green Room and a Mai Tai for toasting at the buffet, with another drink of our choice during the meal. There was a wide variety from Hawaiian tropical cocktails to wine.

During the meal, a ukulele singer came around to play requested songs, and at one point, a hula dancer performed right in front of us. Honeymooners and birthday celebrants were called up for hula lessons, making for a fulfilling experience.

The main Rock-a-Hula show featured not only hula dancing but also a fire show and rock star performances. It lasted about an hour and was a fun and exciting show until the very end. Since it was the Green Room tour, we were given front-row seats, and the rock stars were very accommodating to their fans.

After the show, we had the chance to take commemorative photos with the performers, and I got signatures on the photos taken in the Green Room and on Elvis's scarf, which made me very satisfied.

On the last night of my trip to Hawaii, I created wonderful memories. The Green Room tour is usually expensive, but I was able to participate at a discounted price, which was fantastic. Thank you very much.

ハワイに行ったら絶対にフラショーを観たいと思い、探していて見つけたのがこちらのツアーでした。

今回予約したのはグリーンルームで、ショーの前にバックヤードを紹介してもらったり、グリーンルームでシャンパンと軽食をいただいた後、実際に舞台の上にまで立たせていただきました。グリーンルームで撮影した記念写真は食事後に現像し、いただくことができ、良いお土産になりました。

バックヤードツアーの後はビュッフェでしたが、ビュッフェも多くのゲストがいる中で最優先で案内いただき、超VIP待遇でした。ちなみにドリンクはツアー料金内でグリーンルームでのシャンパンと、ビュッフェの乾杯用マイタイ、食事中にもう一杯メニューの中から選ぶことができました。ハワイアン〜なトロピカルカクテルからワインまで豊富でした。

食事中はテーブルを回ってきてくれるウクレレシンガーがリクエスト曲を弾いてくれたり、途中でフラダンサーが目の前まで踊ってくれたり、ハネムーンや誕生日の方達が前に呼ばれてフラレッスンなと充実した内容でした。

メインのロック・ア・フラショーではフラダンサーによるフラはもちろん、ファイヤーショーにロックスターショーなど1時間程度でしたが最後まで楽しく盛り上がるようなショーでした。グリーンルームツアーだったため、座席も最前列をご用意いただき、ロックスター達のファンサも神対応でした。

ショー後は出演者達と記念撮影をしていただいたり、グリーンルームで撮影した写真やエルビスのスカーフにサインをしていただいたり、大満足でした。

ハワイ旅行最後の夜、素敵な思い出ができました。通常価格であればお高いグリーンルームツアーでしたが、モニター価格でお得に参加でき、とても良かったです。ありかとうございました。

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. This time, I traveled with my elderly mother, and since we were in Hawaii, I wanted to include some ocean activities for her as well. The boat does sway during the ride, so I think anyone who can brace themselves and maintain a seated position (as you take off from that position) can participate, even if they're older.

In the end, my mother was very satisfied, and it seems this became her favorite memory from the trip. For those who want photos, they take about 150 pictures of you in the air and the scenery from the boat, and after disembarking, they transfer the data to your phone right there. It comes with a memory card for $50. I usually don't buy many photos from tourist spots, but these turned out really well, and I'm happy with them.

ハワイでのパラセーリング2回目です。
今回は高齢の母と2人旅、せっかくのハワイなので母にも海のアクティビティを取り入れたくて参加しました。
ボートで移動時に揺れますので、その揺れを踏ん張れる方、長座の姿勢がとれる方(その体制から飛ぶので)であれば高齢でも参加できるかと思います。
結果、母大満足、今回の旅で1番の思い出になった様です。
写真が欲しい人は上空での様子やボートからの景色を150枚ほど撮ってくれて下船後にその場でデータを携帯に移行してくれます。メモリーカードも付いて50ドル。観光地の写真はあまり買わないのですが、よく撮れてて気に入ってます。

It was quite a pleasant experience, the staff was very friendly, the catamaran was clean and tidy, the bar service was quick. The view to the island and the fireworks was amazing. Really recommend the experience if you are in Waikiki on a Friday evening.

Gorgeous and fun sunset cruise before dinner, quick and beautiful!

Right on HHV grounds, easy to get too, a wonderful night!

From a stable catamaran, you can enjoy the view of Waikiki Beach and feel the sunset... Whether it's your first time in Hawaii or you're a repeat visitor, this is a time I highly recommend.

This is my third time participating. Although there isn't a Japanese guide, the fun is definitely felt. This time, I was with a group of Japanese tourists, so the atmosphere was a bit different, but thanks to the weather and the calm sea, we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sunset.

I haven't participated in other catamaran tours, so I can't make comparisons, but I can recommend this tour for the peace of mind it offers while enjoying a blissful sunset! If you're unsure, definitely give it a try at least once! 😊

安定したカタマラン船で海の上から、ワイキキビーチを眺め、サンセットを感じる・・
ハワイが初めてでも、リピーターでも、ぜひおすすめしたい時間です。

今回は3度目の参加になります。
日本語ガイドはないけれど、その楽しさは十分感じられます。
今回は日本人団体さんと一緒だったので、盛り上がりは少し違いましたが、
天候、おだやかな海のおかげで、きれいなサンセットを堪能できました。
他のカタマランツアーに参加したことがないので、比較はできないですが、
安心してサンセットの至福な時間を楽しめる点でおすすめできるツアーです！
迷ったら、是非、一度は参加してみてください(^^)v

Fun, but it gets hot out in the sun! Just be sure to bring tons of screen(reef safe!)

I didn't see any whales, but the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean was very beautiful! I accepted that it was just a matter of luck, but I still enjoyed the cruising experience. It was really bumpy, so I definitely recommend bringing motion sickness medication from Japan.

くじらは見られませんでしたが、海の上から見るワイキキビーチとダイヤモンドヘッドはとても綺麗でした！
こればっかりは運なので仕方がない、と諦めましたがクルージングだけでも充分楽しめました。すごく揺れたので酔い止めは日本から持って行ったほうが絶対にいいと思います。

This was my second time parasailing in Hawaii. It was amazing! The height of 150 meters allows you to experience both fear and a sense of freedom. My 10-year-old daughter also had her first experience and was thrilled, saying it was the best. It was funny to see her going wild up there, where no one could hear her.

My husband is not good with heights, so he was completely focused the whole time, and when we came down, he looked pale.

There were some big waves that caused the front of the boat to slam against the water, and one of the men on board dislocated his shoulder, probably because he was holding the railing incorrectly, and had to give up. It was unfortunate.

The staff takes great photos (40 with an SD card), so I recommend enjoying the scenery and atmosphere rather than just taking your own pictures!

今回でハワイでは2回目のパラセーリングでした。
やっぱり最高！
150メートルの高さは、恐怖心と開放感の両方を味わえます。10歳の娘も初体験でしたが、最高だと喜んでいました。上空での誰にも聞こえないであろう発狂っぷりが面白かったです
主人は高いとこが苦手なので終始両手に全集中していて、降りてきた時には真っ青になってました


大きな波が何度かきて船の前方が海面に叩きつけることがあり、一緒に乗船していた男性は手すりの持ち方が悪かったせいか肩を脱臼してしまい、あえなく断念。。
かわいそうでした。

スタッフの方が撮ってくれる写真（SDカード付きで40）がとてもいいので、
自分で撮る写真よりも景色や雰囲気を楽しむことをおすすめします！

We gathered in front of the marina's dock. Despite the boat being named "Sashimi II," it was a bit disappointing that no one spoke Japanese at all. I was the only Japanese participant, but if you have a little experience with fishing, you can understand how to use the equipment and the fishing techniques. I was able to grasp most of the explanations through gestures.

The bait was cut squid, and we used a simple bottom fishing setup with a two-hook rig and weights. We fished while changing points from the marina to off Waikiki and Diamond Head. The scenery was beautiful, providing double the enjoyment.

The target was the Mōngara (a type of filefish), and the crew prepared the fish we caught on board, allowing us to taste it on the way back.

マリーナの桟橋前で集合。
さしみ２号（sashimiⅡ）の船名のわりに日本語は全く通じなくてちょっと残念。
日本人参加者は自分１人だったのですが、船釣りの経験が少しあれば道具の使い方や釣り方は判ります。身振り手振りでも大体の説明は理解できました。
餌はイカの切り身、２本バリとおもりのスピニングタックルのシンプルな底釣りです。
マリーナからワイキキ沖からダイヤモンドヘッド沖までをポイントを変えながら釣ります。風景も良く、ダブルの楽しみがあります。
ターゲットはモンガラ（カワハギの仲間）で釣った魚はクルーが船内でさばいて帰りに味見が出来ました。

Everyone except for my husband and me were foreigners. If you don't set the audio guide to Japanese, you won't understand the explanations at all. However, since the boat rocks a lot on the way, it's better to have motion sickness medication. It was thrilling to transfer from the boat to the submarine. Moving in the middle of the ocean to the submarine was amazing. When a sea turtle swam close to the window, I was so impressed! It was great to encounter various fish as well.

私達夫婦以外全て外国人。説明も日本語オーディオガイドにセットしないと説明が全く分からず、しかし、行きの船がとても揺れるので酔い止めの薬は、あった方が良い。船から潜水艇を乗り移る時などは感動。海のど真ん中でから、潜水艇へと移動。ウミガメが、窓の近くに泳いで来てくれた時は、すご〜い❗️と感動。
色んな魚とも出会いよかったです。

I participated at the end of the year. I took motion sickness medication, but the boat was very slow, and it was tough until we returned to land. I couldn't see any whales, but later I heard that it's quite rare to see them around Oahu. Even if you do see them, they are said to be very far away. I think it would be better to participate in Maui or similar locations.

年末に参加しました。
酔い止めを飲んで参加しましたが、船がとてもゆっくりで陸に戻るまで辛かったです。
クジラも見る事ができなかったのですが、後で聞くとオアフで見られるのはかなり希なようですね。
見る事ができてもとても遠いとの事でした。
マウイ島などで参加されるのがよいと思います。

There isn't enough gratitude that I can express for the staff at the Rock-A Hula show! I came with a date, but my flight arrived in late, so my date was there, but I missed everything up to the dinner and show.

They were so accommodating ensuring my date received all the perks that were promised, and kept her company until I arrived. Then, when I got there, they even accepted my bags, and brought me food to ensure I ate enough before the show! Just great customer service.

Now the show... Just awesome. As a musician, everything was on point. The band, vocals, especially the Elvis act! Highly recommend and glad it was the first thing we did to get me back in good spirits after missing some of the action due to my flight.

Thanks staff! What a great experience!
