All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

It might be the same everywhere, but I was forced to wear a buoy around my waist and was bombarded with English instructions. Even when I wanted to get out because it was cold, they wouldn’t let anyone leave until everyone was in the water. If I tried to get out from another spot, I was redirected. It was a terrible place. It would be better if there were Japanese staff present.

どこも同じようなものかも知れませんが、腰に、うき具を付けらされ、一方的に英語でまくし立てられ、寒いから上がろうとしても、全員水に入るまでは、上がらせない。別の所から上がろうとすると回らされる、最低な所でした。日本人スタッフが居るところが良いですね。

The food wasn't very delicious. The guidance wasn't very good either. It felt like a conveyor-belt type of service. I felt a bit left out. I understand that the dishes are served on one plate, but it was disappointing that everything was mixed together. The show was good, though.

食事があまり美味しくなかったかな。案内があまりよろしくなかった。流れ作業で案内。ちょっとおいてけぼり感がありました。料理もワンプレートはわかりますが、みんないっしょにごちゃ混ぜ状態になって残念。ショーはよかったよ

Everything was great. The hosts of the boat were all very personable and very friendly with a good sense of humor! Their mai tais were GREAT, I don't care for mai tais because of the dark rum but they do theirs differently and i loved their drinks. Very calming, good music and great drinks. I would definitely do this again

I wasn't sure which restaurant to choose, so having this kind of guidance was helpful. The food was delicious as well.

どこの店を選べば良いか分からなかったので、こういう案内があると助かります。
食事も美味しかったです。

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

The overall experience was simply amazing!
It was my first time parasailing and the crew was very helpful and made us comfortable.
The view from above was spectacular and I’d surely recommend anyone and everyone to go for it!
Very safe and extremely exciting.
The kids enjoyed it too

The fireworks at the Hilton on Friday lasted about 10 minutes. The Mai Tai cruise offered unlimited cocktails, and I had three cocktails, but they made them without a hint of annoyance. The night view was great, and since it was the end of the year, it was a bit cold, so you might need long sleeves.

金曜日ヒルトンの花火は10分くらいで終わりました。マイタイ号はカクテル等飲み放題でわたくしはカクテル3杯飲みましたが、嫌な顔ひとつせず作ってくれました。
夜景がいいのはもちろん年末だったので、少し寒いので、長袖は要るかも。

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.

The moment I floated up into the sky, the blue ocean spread out below me, and it was amazing! The weather was also great, and I could see Diamond Head beautifully. I think it's best to wear clothes that you don't mind getting wet, as you might get a little splashed.

空にフワッと舞い上がった瞬間、眼下に青い海が広がって最高でした!お天気にも恵まれ、ダイアモンドヘッドも綺麗に見れました。少し濡れるので濡れてもよい服装で参加したらよいと思います。

What views, the crater and then the whole shoreline of Waikiki from above, its unreal! Cant wait to go back.

A lovely day nearby to the hotels, quick and easy to find and fun for the kids to get in the water!

We used it with three people.

Since we were the first, we were thrown into the sea without a moment to catch our breath. Haha.

It became the best memory!

Thank you very much! ^ ^

3人で利用しました。

トップバッターだったので、息つく間もなく
海上に飛ばされました。笑

最高の思い出となりました！

ありがとうございました^ ^

This was my first experience in Hawaii. The food was a buffet with a variety of Hawaiian dishes, and there were even desserts. There was also a performance during the meal, which was fantastic.

After the meal, we moved to watch a show, and it was very moving. I think it's worth experiencing at least once if you come to Hawaii. Lastly, we were able to greet the performers and take photos with them, which was fun.

Time flew by, but I believe it's a tour that can be utilized effectively.

初めてのハワイでの体験です。
ご飯はビュッフェでハワイのいろんな料理が食べれてデザートまでありました。
また食事中にパフォーマンスもあって最高でした。

食事後移動してショーを見ましたがとても感動しました。ハワイにきたなら一度体験してみる価値があると思います。
最後にグリーティングもできて出演者と写真も撮れて楽しかったです。

時間があっという間に過ぎましたが有効活用できるツアーだと思います。

The view from 150 meters is amazing. It was a breathtaking sight with Diamond Head and the streets of Hawaii visible. Even during the waiting time for parasailing, the crew kept us entertained, so there was no time to get bored. However, the boat might be a bit rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case.

高さ150mの景色は最高。ダイヤモンドヘッド、ハワイの街並みが見える絶景でした。パラセーリングの待ち時間も船員の方が色々と楽しませてくれるので、退屈する時間はありませんでした。ただ船は少し酔いやすいかもしれないので、酔い止めは念のため飲んでおいた方が良いと思います。

For two hours, my feet hurt a little, but I enjoyed the Hawaiian sun, blue sky, and breeze. I heard it was a rare sunny day, and I was blessed with great weather for a wonderful experience.

２時間、少し足の裏がいたくなりましたが、ハワイの太陽と青空そして風にのって、楽しく過ぎていきました。久しぶりに晴天になった日と聞き、天候にも恵まれて素晴らしい体験ができました。

Loved this funky yellow catamaran. The people were very helpful. It was my 2 nd time snorkeling and was really nervous about swimming in the ocean. Dillan was great life guard also gave me an extra float so that I feel more secure.
The views the music the drinks and the people were fantastic on this catamaran.
I would highly recommend this tour.
Only recommendation is to probably do the morning cruise as we spotted only 1 sea turtle which was very still. At the very bottom of the ocean floor and extremely few fishes.
Infact we saw more fishes at the sand box.
I would highly recommend it because we had a blast in this trip. It was my husbands 50th birthday and he loved it.

On the day, we were blessed with great weather and were able to see the best sunset! The boat was very clean, and it had a restroom, which was reassuring.

当日、良い天気に恵まれ、最高のサンセットを見ることができました！
船はとっても綺麗で、トイレもあるので安心です。

It's our second time with this parasailing company, and once again, they delivered a thrilling adventure beyond our expectations! We did this with my girls when they were 9 and 11 years old, and my son, who was only 4 years old, could not join us at the time. But now, my girls are 18 and 16, and my son has turned 11 years old, and this time, he's finally able to join on the fun with us! We're thrilled to have the whole family together for this incredible experience.

My kids experienced the best time of their lives, and it's so fun to watch them happily share their experiences to their cousins and friends.

As always, the captains are fun and they make the experience more exciting! The beautiful pictures taken added to the joy of the trip too.

As for my impressions, I think it's good for those who want to experience entertainment like in Las Vegas or Los Angeles while in Hawaii. I was looking forward to the shows in Hawaii, so I was a bit disappointed in some aspects, but since I enjoy entertainment, I was able to have a decent time. Given the weak yen, I thought the prices were quite high. However, since it was Christmas Day, the venue was nearly full with a capacity of 750.

First, after checking in, we were guided to the buffet area. The VIP guests started their meals first. It was crowded, which made it a bit cramped, but they guided us patiently in order, and we were able to enjoy plenty of food. The park, beef, and tofu were all delicious.

We watched a light hula dance and listened to ukulele music, and there was also dessert time. After the meal, we moved to the hall where the entertainment show began. The show could be seen beautifully from any seat, so I don't think it's a problem if you're not in a VIP seat. I was a little envious that VIP guests received fresh flower leis.

Overall, the meal was delicious and enjoyable, and with the show included, I was able to spend a fun time.

感想としては、ハワイでラスベガスやロサンゼルスなどのエンターテイメントを観たい、体験したい方には良いかと思います。私は、ハワイのショーを楽しみにしていたので、少しガッカリな部分もありましたが、エンターテイメントは好きなので、それなりに楽しめました。円安ということもあり、かなりお値段も高いと思いました。でも、クリスマスの日だったとこもあり、750定員満席に近かったです。
まず、受付をするとビュッフェ会場に案内されます。ビュッフェ会場は、VIPの人が先に食事を始めていました。満席だったので、窮屈感もありましたが、順番に丁寧に案内してくれ、料理も十分に食べれました。パークもビーフも豆腐も美味しかったです。
軽いフラのダンスを観たり、ウクレレを聞いたりして、デザートタイムもありました。
食後、ホールに移動して、エンターテイメントのショーが開始されました。ショーは、どの席でも綺麗に観られるので、VIP席出なくても問題ないかと思います。
VIP席だと、生花のレイが貰えてちょっぴり羨ましかったです。
全体的に食時も美味しく、楽しく、ショーも付いていて、楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。

I made a reservation for 33 people for Christmas. Since there were so many of us, we considered chartering a boat, but having a DJ definitely made it more exciting! The food was allowed to be brought in, and there were Japanese staff members who were very accommodating. I'm glad we chose the DJ cruise! Please be careful as you can't bring in soft drinks.

クリスマスに33人で予約しました。人数が多かったのでチャーター船にしようか迷いましたが、やっぱりDJが居た方が盛り上がりました！
食事も持ち込みOKで日本人のスタッフさんも居て柔軟に対応して下さいました。DJクルーズを選んで良かったです！
飲み物はソフトドリンクも持ち込み出来ないので気をつけて下さい。

this was the best 1st day in waikiki activity you can do .
the crew were fantastic and very entertaining . my daughter said she has a new dad called Amos ! he was charming
thank you again for a wonderful afternoon.
highly recommend .

The pre-experience explanatory video had Japanese subtitles, and the instructors spoke Japanese, so it was not a problem if you are not fluent in English! The practical instructions were clear, and I was able to get on the board right away. There were three of us participating, but since there were two instructors, they provided guidance tailored to each participant's level, allowing us to have a meaningful experience. For those who were capable, they encouraged us to try new things, like riding the waves alongside the instructors or going out to where the big waves were. For those who were less experienced, they offered experiences in areas with moderate waves, and if someone wanted to try the big waves, they made it possible!

体験前の事前説明動画は日本語字幕があり、インストラクターの方も日本語が話せる方だったので英語が上手でなくても問題ないです！
実践もわかりやすく説明してくださり、すぐにボードに乗ることができました。3人での体験となりましたが、インストラクターの方が2名いたので体験者のレベルに合わせてインストラクターの方が指示してくれ、有意義な時間が過ごせました。出来る人にはどんどん新しいことも体験させてくれ、インストラクターの方と一緒に（隣に並んで）波に乗ったり、大きな波がある沖にいったりもしました。不慣れな人には中くらいの波のところで体験や、本人が大きな波にトライしたかったら、体験させてくれたりと、、！！

Tons of fun. Safe and worthwhile. We chose the picture package. It’s cash purchase. Tips recommended.

Will recommend this ride for sure.

The show and entertainment were wonderful, and I was captivated until the end. I was especially moved by Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and most of all, Hawaii's representative singer, IZ.

However, I was disappointed with the initial meal and the staff. The guidance was insufficient, and the meal took too long, leaving us with too much time before the show without any food. I felt that the premium seats were better. Additionally, most of the staff did not speak Japanese, which felt a bit rude, especially considering that even though there are fewer Japanese people due to the post-COVID situation. I ended up taking home one of the two free drink tickets without using it, and the service seemed to prioritize Americans, leaving a bad aftertaste.

ショー、エンターティメントは素晴らしく、最後まで惹きつけられました。
エルビスプレスリーにジョンレノン、何よりハワイの代表的なシンガーのIZは感激しました。
さてがっかりなのは最初の食事とスタッフです。
案内も不十分で、食事も
時間かけすぎでショーまで時間持て余し、食事無しで
プレミアム席が良いと感じました。
あとスタッフほとんど日本語通じず、いくらコロナ明けで日本人少なくてもちょっと失礼と感じました。
2回のフリードリンクチケットも１枚使わずに持って帰り、アメリカ人優先の案内に見え後味悪いです

The location is on the 4th floor of the Waikiki Royal Hawaiian Center, and I arrived without any trouble. I was welcomed with a welcome drink (Mai Tai cocktail), and they played a Sukiyaki song and a birthday song on the ukulele at my table. The dinner buffet featured traditional Hawaiian dishes, with plenty on the plate and unlimited refills; it was very delicious. I was particularly impressed by the thickness of the roast beef they served. During the meal, there was a hula show, and I was able to participate in a hula lesson as well. After that, there was a "look-alike show" (rock) featuring Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, representing America, which was of high quality and enjoyable across generations. The authentic hula, Polynesian show, and fire dance brought the show to its peak, and the excitement from the foreign tourists was wonderful; the fun was at its maximum. It was a time that filled both my stomach and my heart.

場所はワイキキ・ロイヤルハワイアンセンター４階、迷わず到着しました。
ウエルカムドリンク（マイタイカクテル）でお迎えしていただき、ウクレレですき焼きソングやbirthdayソングも席にて奏でて頂きました。ディナービュッフェはハワイ伝統料理など、お皿に盛り沢山、おかわり自由、とても美味しく
特に切り分けてくれたローストビーフの厚さに感激しました。食事中のフラショー、そしてフラレッスンにも参加出来ました。その後日本で俗にいう「そっくりさんショー」（ロック）アメリカを代表するエルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンはクオリティが高く世代を超えて楽しむことができます。本場のフラ・ポリネシアンショーとファイアーダンスでショーは最高潮、外人観光客の盛り上がり方が素晴らしく、楽しさはMAXでした。お腹と心（ハート）が満たされた時間でした

The level was too high. First of all, the food was delicious. I was overwhelmed by the Hawaiian dance that took place during the meal, and while I was filming, they pointed at me with their fingers♪ The service was enthusiastic, leaving a very good impression! The next show was a stunning performance that lasted for an hour and a half non-stop, making me wonder if I could keep up! Personally, I was happy to hear Michael Jackson's "Thriller." I was also glad they took photos with me after the show.
I definitely want to go again!

レベルが高すぎました。まず食事がおいしかったです。食事中に行われるハワイアンダンスに圧倒され動画を撮っていると指を刺してくれました♪サービス精神が旺盛で非常に良い印象でした！次のショーでは1時間半ノンストップで行われていて、体力大丈夫かな？って疑うくらい圧巻のショーでした！個人的にマイケルジャクソンのスリラーが聞けて嬉しかったです。ショーの後も一緒に写真を撮ってくれて嬉しかったです。
また行きたい絶対行きたい！

It was such an amazing time. It was great to see the fish. It was great to be able to get great pictures. The staff were great to take photos for us with Diamond Head behind us. We would definitely do this again.

..............................................................................................................

The dinner buffet before the show was hearty and very delicious. On top of that, I was able to listen to a genuine concert, which was overwhelming. This is because a deceased superstar was making an appearance. I was moved to tears from the nostalgia. As the year changes, I hope to see what kind of legendary stars will appear next, and if they could keep changing the versions, I would definitely want to come back again.

ショー前のディナービュッフェではがっつり食べれて、しかもとても美味しかった。尚かつ本格的なコンサートも聞け感無量です。というのも亡くなったスーパースターが出てくるのだから。懐かしさの余り涙ぐみました。年が替わって今度はどんな往年のスターが登場するか、どんどんバージョンを替えて頂けたら、是非ともリピしたいと思います。

I have been on large ships for dinner cruises, but I rarely have the opportunity to ride on a sailboat or a yacht with an outboard motor. This time, I got to experience a catamaran, and it was absolutely amazing! It was my first time on one, and I had a wonderful time. Everyone stayed on deck, feeling the wind, and unlike large ships, we were often rocked by the waves, which made it feel like we were really out at sea. Although it was unfortunate that there were many clouds and I couldn't enjoy the sunset, the view of Diamond Head and the illuminated Waikiki hotels from the sea was beautiful. I was also surprised by the restroom on the boat. Be careful not to drink too many Mai Tais, as you might get seasick. We departed from the beach, but the meeting point is somewhat difficult to find for those not staying at the Halekulani or Sheraton, so it's better to scout the location in advance. It's an activity that makes you feel like you're in paradise.

ディナークルーズなどで大型船に乗る事はあったが、セールと船外機つきヨットに乗せてもらう機会は滅多になく、カタマランという形式で、こりゃもうタマラン！今回初めての乗りでとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。皆様ずっと甲板にいて、風に吹かれ大型船と異なり波に揺らされる事も多いので、海に出ているという実感を味わえます。雲が多くて残念ながら夕陽を浴びる事はなかったものの、海から眺めるダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキホテル群のイルミも又美しい。又、船に備え付けられているトイレにはビックリしました。マイタイの飲み過ぎには注意、酔ってマイッタします。ビーチからの出帆ですが、ハレクラニやシェラトン宿泊者以外はやや分かり難い場所が待ち合わせなので、事前に下見しておいてベター。マタイキタイと思わせしめるアクティビティだ。
