All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

We really enjoyed our day out with Jackson on Thanksgiving Day. We appreciate him working on the holiday to show us around. Loved the tasty treats, gorgeous views and the interesting/knowledgeable commentary.

The atmosphere was really lovely during the dinner surrounded by strangers! A stylish drink was included, and we could choose whether it had alcohol or not. However, there weren't many dishes that I found delicious, perhaps because they didn't suit Japanese tastes. The meat was incredibly tasty, so I ended up eating a lot of that. The show was impressive, and there were familiar songs, which made it very enjoyable. Both the food and the show really captured the Hawaiian vibe, so I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the atmosphere of Hawaii.

知らない人と席を囲んでの会食で雰囲気もとても素敵でした！
オシャレなワンドリンクも付いてきました。アルコール入りかなしか選べました。
でも、あまり日本人の口に合わないのか、美味しいと思える料理は少なかったです。お肉はすごく美味しかったのでそればっかり食べてました。
ショーは迫力があり、馴染みの曲もあったりしてとても楽しめました。
食事もショーもハワイの雰囲気をとても感じれたので、ハワイの雰囲気を楽しみたい人におすすめです。

I went parasailing for the first time, and it was an amazing experience. The sky was quieter and more stable than I expected, allowing me to enjoy the scenery and the height. The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. There were many people from Japan, so we took photos and videos of each other and shared them, but there was no photo service provided as part of the tour.

初めてパラセーリングをしましたがとても素晴らしい体験ができました。
上空は思っていた以上に静かで安定していて景色や高さを楽しめました。お天気がいまいちだったのでそこだけが残念でした。
日本の方が多くいらっしゃったのでお互いに写真やムービーを撮り合って共有しましたが、ツアーとしては写真サービスはなかったです。

The food was delicious, and the level of crowding was not too much, which was great. The show was enjoyable for the whole family, with the men's powerful performances and the women's captivating dances.

料理も美味しく、混雑度合いもそこまでで良かったです。
ショーは男性の迫力と女性の魅力的な踊りで家族みんなが楽しめました。

I reserved a VIP seat. From check-in, I was treated with great hospitality, and we toasted with a welcome drink once seated. Each group had a commemorative photo taken. The buffet style starts with the VIP seats. The taste of the dinner was satisfying across the board. There were dishes like yakisoba, which I thought was considerate for families and first-time visitors. There was a variety of fish and meats, including beef, pork, and chicken, with the roast beef being particularly recommended. The show was moving in every aspect. On the way back, I was grateful for the opportunity to get signatures and take commemorative photos with the artists on my personal smartphone.

VIP席を予約しました。チェックインから丁寧におもてなしして頂き、着座からウェルカムドリンクで乾杯。グループ毎に記念撮影して頂きました。
ブァフェスタイルも順番がVIP席からになります。
ディナーのお味はどれも満足です。
焼そばなどもあり、ファミリーやファーストタイムの方の料理にも配慮して頂いているなぁっと思います。お魚、お肉はビーフ、ポーク、チキン全てあって、中でもローストビーフオススメ。
ショーは全ての面で感動します。
見て見て
帰りもアーティストからのサインや記念撮影も個人のスマホで撮って頂き感謝でした。

After our children became adults, we took a trip to Hawaii as a couple for the first time in over 20 years. We wanted to do something memorable, so we signed up for parasailing. Although I felt a bit scared, the weather was great on the day of the activity, and once we were up in the air, it was stable and we enjoyed the refreshing breeze while taking in the stunning views of Honolulu. At the end, we had the usual splash in the sea, but they also check in advance how much you'll be submerged, which was very reassuring. I would love to do it again the next time we visit Hawaii.

子供たちも社会人になり、20数年ぶりに夫婦2人でのハワイ旅行。何か思い出に残ることをやってみようと思い、パラセイリングに申し込みました。
少し怖い気持ちもありましたが、当日は天気も良く、空に上がってみれば安定していて、気持ちよい空気の中、ホノルルの絶景を堪能できました。
最後はお決まりの海ポチャになりますが、どの程度海に浸かるかも事前に確認してくれるので、とても安心です。
次にハワイに行くときもやってみたいと思います。

I love the ocean in Hawaii, but since I'm with my elderly parents, I won't be swimming during our stay. I wanted to experience the feeling of being in a resort, so I participated in this activity. It's refreshing to see Waikiki from the sea, which I usually walk through. Since I participated on the day of arrival, spending a leisurely time on the boat felt like a luxurious experience. Although Japanese is not spoken, it was a time where communication wasn't necessary, so there were no inconveniences.

ハワイの海は好きですが、高齢の親と一緒なので滞在中は泳ぎません。
せっかくリゾート地に来た感覚を味わいたくて参加しました。
いつも歩いているワイキキを海から見られるのは新鮮な感じです。
到着日に参加ということもあり、
船でのんびりとゆったりと過ごせるのは贅沢な時間です。
日本語は通じませんが、特に会話しなくても問題ない時間でしたので、不都合も無かったっです。

First, regarding the dinner buffet, the dining area is on the open terrace where the night breeze is pleasant. When you sit at the table, fresh dendrobium orchids are provided for hair accessories, and while enjoying a Hawaiian drink, you feel happy. You can enjoy various dishes, starting with traditional Hawaiian cuisine. While dining, hula dancers occasionally perform right near your table, adding to the fun! Of course, there are plenty of desserts like fruits, cakes, and ice cream, leaving you completely satisfied!

Next, we moved to the theater to watch the Rock-a-Hula show. The stage and seats are very close, and with live band performances, the lighting and visual effects enhance the hula dance, Elvis, and Michael Jackson performances, as well as songs by Hawaiian singers, all of which are incredibly powerful! At the end, we were able to take photos with the performers, and everyone was very courteous, making it a wonderful memory! ✨

まずはディナービュッフェについて、食べるところはオープンテラスで夜風が心地よく、テーブルにつくと、髪飾り用に生のデンファレの花が用意されておりハワイの飲み物を飲みながら気分はハッピー
食事もハワイの伝統料理をはじめ色々な料理を食べることができます食事をしているとフラダンサーの方が席の間近でダンスを時折披露してくださり楽しめます‼︎もちろんフルーツやケーキ、アイスなどデザートもたっぷりでお腹いっぱいになり大満足でした‼︎
つづいてロックアフラのショーを見る為にシアターに移動、こちらも舞台と席がとても近く、生バンドによる演奏、光や映像の演出が相まってフラダンスやエルビス、マイケルジャクソンのパフォーマンス、またハワイの歌手の方の歌が迫力満点です‼︎
最後には、出演者の方と写真撮影ができ、どの方のとても丁寧に対応してくださり最高の思い出となりました✨

The meal is a buffet, but please note that the start time is late, and there is limited time to eat. Basically, you can only go up to get food once.

During the meal, there is a small dance show, so you can really enjoy it. Additionally, a ukulele player goes around performing for each group.

Up to this point, video recording is allowed. The main show moves to the hall. Once it starts, taking photos is fine, but video recording is not allowed. There are shows not only featuring hula but also Elvis and Michael, and the atmosphere and excitement were fantastic!

All explanations are in English, so knowing English might enhance your experience. After the show, the performers greet guests outside, so you can shake hands and take photos together.

It’s guaranteed to be a wonderful night!

食事はバイキングですが、食事の始まりが遅く、食べる時間が少ないので注意してください。基本的に取りに行けるのは一回のみです。
食事中にも小さなダンスショーがあるのでしっかり楽しめます。また、ウクレレ奏者の方がひとグループごとに演奏して回っていました。
ここまでは動画撮影OKです。
本番のショーはホールへ移動します。始まりましたら写真撮影は大丈夫ですが、動画撮影はNGです。フラだけでなく、エルビスやマイケルのショーもあり、雰囲気や盛り上がりが最高でした！
説明等は全て英語なので、英語ができた方がもっと楽しめるかもしれません。
終わった後は出演者が外で見送りをしているので、握手したり一緒に写真を撮ることも可能です。
最高の夜になること間違いなしです。

It was an English tour, but it was not difficult, and I was able to participate happily. The time flew by in the air! Since you can enjoy Hawaiian activities in a short time, I recommend it for those who are short on time.

英語ツアーでしたが、難しいことはなく楽しく参加できました。上空ではあっという間の時間でした！
短時間でハワイらしいアクティビティができるので、時間のない方もおすすめです。

As someone who scours reviews making sure to pick the right one, I definitely recommend this sail!!!

The crew was fantastic and extremely helpful the entirety of the trip. The boat fits a good amount of people but is still small enough to feel like you are not lost in a crowd. When leaving the dock, we saw a big group of surfers and then sailed along the entire coast up to Diamond Head. We saw a beautiful sunset, and even a pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins on our way out! After the sun sets, you get a great view of the city lit up at night and a beautiful view of the moon as well.

Great selection of drinks, first one is free (additional alcohol for only $6), and it’s not your usual cheap beer/wine but actually a full bar with great spirit choices!!

The price of the tour is extremely fair and we definitely would recommend this specific charter to any friends and family!!!! Thanks Moana Catamaran for a great evening!

I enjoyed it for about 10 minutes, despite the very low cost. The photographer was very friendly and took a lot of pictures for me. Although it was an extra charge, I was thrilled to have them transferred to my smartphone.

とても安価にもかかわらず約10分堪能しました
カメラマン？はとても気さくな方で
いっぱい写真も撮って下さり別料金ですが
スマホに転送してもらえ感激です

We started with a buffet outdoors, and the weather was nice, making it very pleasant. The food was Hawaiian cuisine, which created great memories. During dinner, there was a light show and hula lessons, making the meal enjoyable!

The performance exceeded my expectations in quality. The singer on stage had impressive vocal skills, and the dancers were also very skilled, so I was glad to see a lot of hula dancing.

After the performance, we were able to take photos, making it a very memorable experience!

野外でビュッフェを食べることから始まり、天気も良くとても気持ちよかったです。ご飯もハワイアン料理を味わえていい思い出になりました。夕食中は軽いショーもあったりフラレッスンもあって楽しくお食事ができました！
公演は思った以上のクオリティで楽しめました。舞台に立たれていた歌手はさすがの歌唱力でダンサーの方もすごく上手でフラダンスもたくさん見れたのでよかったです。
公演後は写真撮影もできたりして、とても思い出深い体験ができました！

We participated as a family, and the kids, including myself, were really excited. I think opportunities to see the ocean floor are rare, so it was a valuable experience!

家族で参加したのですが、自分も含めて子ども達が大興奮でした。海底を見れる機会は、あまりないと思いますので、貴重な体験になったと思ってます！

Overall, the sunset, the ocean, and the scenery of Waikiki were all amazing! Since it was an all-you-can-drink option, I enjoyed as much beer and wine as I wanted, which really lifted my spirits. I drank a lot of wine. There wasn't any information in Japanese, but maybe that was a good thing. It depends on the weather, but if it's nice, I think you'll create wonderful memories.

とにかく、夕陽、海、夕映のワイキキの街並み、
全てが最高でした‼️
飲み放題だったので、ビールやワインを好きなだけいただけ、気分も上がります。いっぱいワイン飲みました
日本語の案内はないですが、かえってそこが良かったかな。
お天気にもよるとは思いますが、もし良い天気なら最高の思い出ができると思います。

The sunset was wonderful. There was some wind, so a long-sleeve shirt was necessary on the way back, but the night view was beautiful, and it felt like a great deal. I definitely want to use this again.

サンセットが素晴らしかった。
風があり帰りは長袖は必要でしたが、夜景も綺麗で、お得感があります。
また必ず利用したいです。

Captain and crew made this trip very enjoyable. The ship was top notch and fun to sail on.
Swimming with the turtles was a blast and the sailing around Waikiki afterwards made for a super fun trip. Definitely will be back!

Very fun to be out on the water. Crew was professional yet fun. Good value for a few hours out on a boat and enjoying the Hawaiian sunset. Nice variety of drinks!

Everything was amazing from the time we checked in until the cruise came to an end. Drinks were good, music was on point and the crew was amazing. Exceeded all expectations.

I chose a plan without meals, but those who had meals seemed to be enjoying themselves with activities like hula lessons. You can order drinks just before taking your seat, but payment is only accepted by card, and Amex cannot be used, so be careful. The show itself mainly features slightly older songs by artists like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, but even if you don't know the songs, I felt it was professional entertainment that could still get the crowd excited. Local singers also participate, performing cover songs as well as their own hits. They even perform songs from Disney's Moana. Perhaps because it was a weekday, only the VIP seats were filled, while the other areas were sparse. I think a bit more creativity is needed to make me want to see it two or three times.

食事なしのプランにしたが、食事のある人はフラのレッスンなどのおもてなしがあって、それなりに楽しそうにしていた。ドリンクは席につく手前で注文できるがカード決済のみで、なおかつAmexが使えないので注意。ショー自体はプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンなど少し古めの曲が中心だが、知らなくてもそれなりに盛り上げてくれるプロフェッショナルのエンタメだと感じた。地元の歌手も参加し、カバー曲に加えて持ち歌も披露してくれる。ディズニーのモアナの曲もやってくれる。平日だったためかVIP席のみが埋まっており、それ以外の店はまばら。2回3回と見たいと思うにはもう少し工夫がいるのではと思った。

During our honeymoon in Hawaii, we made a reservation because we wanted to see a hula dance. The food was served buffet style with a wide variety, and we were very satisfied. The beef, in particular, was delicious. The menu was also written in Japanese, which made it easy to understand. Additionally, we enjoyed listening to live ukulele performances and watching dances while having our meal.

After dinner, the show featured hula dancing, singing, and fire dancing, which was a lot of fun. It became one of our best memories of Hawaii! I highly recommend it.

新婚旅行で訪れたハワイで、フラダンスを見たかったので予約しました。
ご飯はブュッフェスタイルで品数も多く大満足でした。特に牛肉が美味しかったです。メニューに日本語も書いてあり分かりやすかったです。また、生のウクレレ演奏を聴いたり、ダンスを見ながら食事を楽しめました。
食事の後のショーではフラダンスや歌、ファイヤーダンスなどを見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ハワイの最高の思い出になりました！ぜひおすすめします。

I participated in this activity because I wanted to see authentic hula.

First, it was buffet time. The welcome drink, Mai Tai, was fresh and a refreshing drink with a hint of alcohol. It was easy to drink and delicious.

The buffet was average, nothing special. During the meal, hula dancers came to our table and performed beautiful dances multiple times. It was moving!

Finally, it was time for "Rock-a-Hula." They introduced the history of music in Hawaii in chronological order. It was a fun and vibrant show. Wonderful!

In the second half, we had the much-anticipated Elvis and Michael. The quality met my expectations. It felt like a good job!

The greeting time for commemorative photos was also lovely. I managed to get a two-shot with both of them.

It was a very satisfying time.

本場のフラを観たくて、このアクティビティに参加しました。
まずはブッフェの時間。
ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイはフレッシュで少しアルコールの効いた爽やかドリンクでした。飲みやすくて美味しい。
ブッフェは、可もなく不可もなく。普通かなぁ。
食事中にテーブルの側までフラダンサーが来てくれて、素敵な踊りを何度も披露してくれました。感激〜！
いよいよ、「ロック・ア・フラ」の時間。
ハワイでの音楽の歴史を、年代順に紹介して下さいます。
楽しく華やかなショーです。素晴らしい！
後半は、お待ちかねのエルビスとマイケル。
期待にそぐわぬ完成度。Good Job！って感じ。
記念撮影のグリーティングタイムも素敵。
ちゃっかりと、お二人とのツーショットもゲットしましたよ。
大満足のひと時でした。

I'll keep this short and to the point. It really wasn't what most would consider a Luau. You're in a tiki-like environment in a mall for the meal and then you go to an inside theater for the show. The show is more of a Vegas-like show primarily consisting of an Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonator. The show was honestly pretty good, but just wasn't what was expected at a Luau.

On a good note, the food was decent and the performers were pretty good. If you just want a reasonably priced meal and a show then this is for you. If you're looking for a more traditional Hawaiian Luau then look somewhere else.

After completing the check-in, I was seated at 5:30 PM, and the buffet started at 6:30 PM, so as mentioned in other reviews, the wait felt long. During the waiting time, you can experience traditional Hawaiian dance and music. Once the buffet begins, guests are guided to the food in order by table. There was a lot of food available, so I was able to enjoy my meal leisurely for about an hour. Since the buffet is not located in just one spot, I recommend looking around to gather your food. (It was a bit hard to find the roast beef station.)

Regarding the show, the stage was larger and more visible than I expected. There were rock stars from different generations, and as expected in a place known for entertainment, the audience was engaged and never bored. It was great to see the fire dance as well. At the end, you can take photos with the performers when exiting. I would like to go again if I visit Hawaii.

受付を済まして17時半に着席をしてから、ビュッフェ開始は18時半でしたので
他の方の口コミにもある通り待ち時間は長く感じました。
待ち時間の間はハワイの伝統的なダンスや音楽を体験することができます。
ビッフェが開始されると席ごとに順番に案内されます。
料理はたくさん用意されているので、約1時間弱ゆっくり食事を楽しむことができました。
ビュッフェの食事は1箇所ではないので、周辺を見渡して食事を取ることをおすすめします。
(目当てのローストビーフの場所が分かりづらかった)

ショーに関しては思った以上にステージが大きく見やすかったです。
世代が違うロックスターも登場しましたが、さすがエンターテイメントの本場ということもあり客席は退屈することなく盛り上がっていました。
ファイヤーダンスも見ることができて良かったです。
最後、退場の際は出演者と写真を撮ることもできます。
またハワイに来たら行きたいと思いました。

From the moment we got on the boat, and until we made our way back onto the beach, we had an amazing time on this booze cruise. The views are perfect, the drinks were strong and tasty, and the seating was surprisingly comfy. Def need to give a shout out to the awesome captain and crew who were on it with taking pictures and offering drinks. Can't wait to go back!

crew were great. everyone had a great time even the seniors and uptights. just know you will get your feet wet boarding the boat. other than that if you don’t have an amazing time that’s all you because this boat and crew are well worth the proce

There were 2-3 Japanese people, but it was a great multicultural experience and became a wonderful memory. Watching the fireworks right in front of us was absolutely fantastic.

日本人は2-3名でしたが多国籍感満載で参加していい思い出になりました。
真正面で花火が観れるのは最高に良かった

Since I didn't go early, my seat was in a bad location, like behind the scenes. I recommend arriving early and lining up if you want to see from a good seat.

早く行かなかったので場所が悪く舞台裏の様なところだった。良い席で見たい方は早めに行って並ぶ事をお勧めします。

I enjoyed delicious food at a buffet that truly captured the essence of Hawaii. They kept the atmosphere lively with shows, and I appreciated their attentiveness and friendly interactions.

I visited Hawaii for my honeymoon, and I was moved by a live performance of a ukulele rendition of a honeymoon song. I also experienced "Rock-a-Hula," the largest Hawaiian show in Waikiki that combines Polynesian culture with rock music, featuring well-known cast members. I believe such shows are hard to find elsewhere.

Personally, I found the fire dance show to be a lot of fun. I would love to join this tour again when I come back to Hawaii.

ハワイらしさを感じる美味しいご飯をビッフェでいただきました。退屈することなくショーをして盛り上げてくれたり、気を使ってくれて声をかけていただきました。
今回ハワイは新婚旅行で訪れましたが、ウクレレでハネムームの曲を生演奏してくて感動♪
また「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合と言うことで有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショーを見せていただきましたが、なかなかこういうショーは他で見れないと思います。
個人的にはファイヤーダンスショーが楽しかったです。
またハワイに来た時は参加したいツアーです。

This was a great multimedia show that we thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
