All Reviews for Waikiki Things to Do

I was satisfied with the fulfilling live show.

I think it was more enjoyable than other regular Hawaiian shows. The price was also cheaper compared to others.

充実したライブショーで、満足できました。

他の普通のハワイアンショーよりも楽しめると思います。
値段も他に比べるとやすかったです。

I was torn between expensive luau shows, but choosing this one was definitely the right decision! It's the best entertainment you can only see here in Hawaii. Personally, I found the men's hula show to be rare and powerful, and I especially liked it.

高額なルアウショーと迷いましたが、こちらにして大正解！
ハワイのここでしか見られない最高のエンタメです。個人的には男性のフラショーが珍しく、迫力があって特に気に入りました。

This is my third time on the boat, and I really recommend it. This time, I was worried about the high waves because it was a windy day, but the wind felt nice, and out at sea, they turned off the engine and used only the sails, allowing us to enjoy the calm environment with the ocean and Diamond Head.

There were not many Japanese people, and it was fun to see everyone having a great time. I highly recommend the Mai Tai!

3回目の乗船ですが、ほんとにおすすめです。今回は風が強い日だったので波が高いのが心配でしたが、風が気持ちよく、沖ではエンジンを切って帆だけにしたので、静かな環境で海とダイヤモンドヘッドを楽しめました。
日本人が少なく、盛り上がって楽しんでいる人を見ているのも楽しかったです。
マイタイ、おすすめです。

I participated with my 9-year-old son on August 18. Before making a reservation, I looked at the reviews and saw mostly negative comments, which made me hesitant, but we had a great time.

There was a small note on the boat suggesting tips, but there was no pressure to give them at all. We participated as a group of four, and no one paid tips. Regarding photos, they asked if we wanted to take some, and when I declined, they responded with a smile and said, "Don't worry."

The view over 100 meters is beyond words! The waves weren't high, and I didn't feel seasick. The staff primarily spoke English, but one of the assistants seemed to speak broken Japanese.

I came across some reviews that seemed a bit shady, but the girl at the reception was friendly and even gave us water.

Good experience!! Enjoy Waikiki!

8/18に9歳の息子と参加しました。
予約する前に口コミをみたら、ネガティブな投稿ばかりで、迷ってましたが、普通に楽しめました。

チップについては、ほしいな的な落書きが船内に小さく書いてありましたが、要求されることはまったくないありませんでした。実際に4ペアでの参加でしたが誰も払っていませんでした。写真についても撮るか？と事前確認があり、断りましたが、dont worry.と笑顔でやり取りしました。

100メートルオーバーの景観は筆舌に尽くしがたいです！波も高くなく、酔うこともありませんでした。基本的に英語のみですが、助手の人はカタコト日本語ができるようでした。
何となく悪徳っぽい口コミ見かけますが、受付の女子も感じよく、水もくれました。

good experience!!
enjoy waikiki!

Our family spent the day sailing to Turtle Canyon where we stopped to snorkel in the warm waters off Waikiki. The equipment provided was great (mask, snorkel, flotation device) and our guides were friendly and made sure we had the opportunity to see plenty of wildlife. Our family swam with turtles, but sailing on the catamaran was just as exciting! It was easy to locate our catamaran from the beach and our family managed to get free parking at the Kapiolani park.

Friendly crew, very pleasant cruise. We even saw sea turtles!!

I had a wonderful time with people from various countries. The cheerful and entertaining tour guide provided a Japanese guide, which was a great help for me since I'm not very good at English. They took many photos and the tour was filled with thoughtful gestures. Everyone who participated enjoyed a friendly atmosphere until the end. At Waimea Canyon, we arrived at the waterfall first and had it all to ourselves for a while. The schedule for the sightseeing spots and the overall timing was perfect. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely love to join other tours as well.

いろいろな国の方たちと大変楽しく過ごせました。明るく面白いツアーガイドさんの日本語ガイドもあり、英語が苦手な私は大変助かりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり気遣いの溢れたツアーでした。参加された方々皆んな最後まで和気あいあいと過ごしました。ワイメア渓谷では、滝に一番に着き暫く貸し切りとなり、途中の観光スポット、全体の時間のスケジュールも完璧でした。また、機会あれば、他のツアーにもぜひぜひ参加したいです。

I participated with my daughter. While on the boat heading out, we were told we were too light, which made us anxious, but another mom who was with us agreed to jump together, so we were able to experience it safely. That mom was able to jump twice, once with her family and once with us, so we are very grateful for her help, but I don't think we did anything wrong, haha. If you're told you're too light, I think it's okay to ask someone else on board, "Could someone jump with me?"

We flew high right away, and it was fun without any scary shaking. The flight time was satisfying.

The meeting point is at the JTB HiBus bus stop. After getting off at Discovery Bay, head towards the sea, and once you reach the water, turn left towards the Hilton Lagoon.

Whether or not to take photos will be confirmed when you jump. For iPhone users, you can use AirDrop, and for Android users, it was $40 to purchase the SD card. Card payments are accepted.

母娘で参加しました。沖に向かうボート内で、二人は軽すぎて駄目だと言われて焦りましたが、乗り合わせた他のママが一緒に飛んでくれることになって、無事に体験できました。そのママも自分の家族とうちの回とで2回飛べたので、こちらとしては名乗り上げてくれて大感謝ですが、悪いことをしたわけでもないと思いますｗ 軽すぎて駄目と言われたら、乗り合わせた人に「誰か一緒に飛んでください」とお願いしてもいいと思います。
すぐに高く飛び、特に揺れるような怖さもなく楽しかったです。飛行時間は満足できました。
集合場所は、JTBのHiBusのバス停 ディスカバリー・ベイで降りたら、海に向かい、海に着いたら左に曲がったヒルトン・ラグーンの前あたりです。
写真撮影するかどうかは飛ぶ時に確認されます。iPhoneだとAirDrop渡し、AndroidだとSDカードごと購入で40ドルでした。カード払いOK。

Captain Amy and her crew made our day!

One of the highlights of our trip. We brought our very adventurous 2 and a half year old out with us to swim with turtles and the crew were amazing and supportive!

Thank you ladies for making our day. ❤️

I’m in my forties, but I was able to surf both enjoyably and rigorously.

I participated alone, and I was the only Japanese person there. During my time, there was no support in Japanese at all. That said, there isn’t much difficult English, so I don’t think a high level of English is necessary. However, if you can’t speak any English at all or feel anxious about it, I think it would be safer to go with another company.

There was one instructor for two of us. The other person was a large Western man, but he dropped out early and went home, so it was essentially a one-on-one experience.

The instructor was strict. It might not be suitable for those who prefer a slow, hands-on, and gentle teaching style, but I think it’s great for those who want to dive right in and go for it! I had a lot of fun trying multiple times.

However, you will get quite sunburned! Lying face down on the surfboard waiting for waves left my calves and the back of my thighs bright red, almost like a mild burn. I regretted not wearing my long pants rash guard that I had with me. You really do get burned. That’s the only thing to watch out for.

Also, if you are prone to motion sickness, I think it’s better to take some anti-nausea medication. I heard someone say they felt sick.

アラフォーですが、楽しく、厳しくサーフィンできました。

一人で参加したのですが、日本人は私一人でした。
私の時は日本語のサポートは一切ありませんでした。
とはいえ難しい英語はあまりないのでそこまで英語力は必要ないと思います。しかし、英語が全くできない、不安がある方は別の会社が安心だと思います。

二人に先生が一人付いてくれました。もう一人の人は欧米人の大きい男性だったのですが、早々に脱落し帰ってしまったので実質マンツーマンでした。

先生はスパルタでした。ゆっくり手取り足取り丁寧に教えてほしい人には不向きかもしれませんが、折角なのでガンガンやりたい！という人には向いてると思います。私は何度もトライできて楽しかったです。

ただ、かなり日焼けします！
サーフボードにうつぶせになって波を待つのでふくらはぎと裏の太ももが真っ赤になり、軽いやけどのようになりました。長ズボンのラッシュガードを持っていたので履けばよかったと後悔しました。
本当に焼けます。これだけが注意です。

あと酔いやすい方は酔い止めを飲んだほうがいいと思います。
酔ったと言っている人がいました。

I challenged myself with my 3rd-grade daughter and my husband to a 150m adventure. The boat ride was fast and thrilling, and the parasailing took us up to a height close to the highest point, allowing us to enjoy a panoramic view of Waikiki. We really felt the essence of Hawaii.

When running through the city, there was ample safety support, and I felt comfortable enjoying it even with my child. They also took photos along the way, creating great memories. The staff had a cheerful atmosphere, which made me smile naturally. I would love to do it again!

街中を走る時、安全面で十分なフォローがあり、子供と一緒でも安心して楽しめました。途中で写真も撮ってくれて、いい思い出もできました。スタッフの方々も明るい雰囲気で、こちらも自然と笑顔になれます。またリピートしたいです！

This experience was beyond my expectations! We came to Hawaii to celebrate my husband’s birthday and out of all the things we did, this was his favorite activity. The music was on point, everyone was super welcoming and the crew was amazing which made the experience even better!!! This is a most if you come to Oahu!!!!

As a 50-year-old man, I unfortunately couldn't surf due to back pain. My two sons, a college student and a high school student, participated in a group lesson. The college student had only tried surfing once about six years ago, while this was the high school student's third experience.

First, they showed a video in the shop and explained the basics before heading to the beach, which was educational and great! Once we got to the beach, they taught us how to stand on the board and we quickly went into the sea!

As we paddled out, the instructor suddenly pushed the board towards the shore and shouted, "Paddle!" and just like that, we were surfing! Wow! I managed to stand up and rode for over 100 meters from the open sea to the shore.

After that, my sons and another participant took turns catching waves, and everyone was able to ride for a long time! However, I later heard that because the rides were long, paddling back to shore multiple times was really tough for them!

I had also requested drone footage, so they took over 150 photos and 11 videos of the two of them. The drone video was high resolution and very beautiful. It was a bit expensive, but I was satisfied.

Next time we come, I hope to receive a higher level of instruction!

50男の私は残念ながら腰痛発症でサーフィンできず。息子達二人、大学生と高校生でグループレッスンに参加しました。大学生は6年ほど前に一度体験サーフィンのみ、高校生は今回が3回目の体験サーフィン。
まず初めにショップ内でビデオを見せてくれて、基本的なことを説明受けてから浜辺に出るのが教育的で良いですね！
浜に出るとボードを使って立ち方を教えてくれてすぐに海へ！
パドリングで沖へ出ると、すぐに先生が岸に向かってボードを押し「パドリング！」っていきなり波乗り！
あら！立てた！いきなり沖から岸まで100m以上乗れました。
その後も他の参加者一人と息子達の3人で次々に波に乗り、皆、ながーく乗れました！
しかし後で聞いたら一回の乗れる距離が長いので、岸から沖まで何回もパドリングで戻るのがとても辛かったと！
ドローンの撮影も頼んでおいたので、二人で150枚以上の写真と11個のビデオを撮影してもらえました。ドローンのピデオは高解像度でとてもキレイ。ちょっと高かったけど満足しました。
次に来たら、もう一段階上の指導をして

I was a bit scared because I'm not good with roller coasters, but it didn't feel like I was floating like on a roller coaster. I could see Waikiki from the air, and it was very pleasant and fun!!

There were four of us, two Japanese girls in their twenties, and a family of five foreigners. The Japanese girls suggested, "Shall we take photos together?" so instead of buying photos, we exchanged them via AirDrop after parasailing.

We were making a lot of noise and having fun, so maybe that's why we got dropped into the sea?! But the others landed safely on the boat (getting dropped was also incredibly fun). The captain and crew were very cheerful and nice, and we had a valuable and enjoyable experience.

We did this on August 5th, and the weather was good with not much wind, so it felt nice. However, the boat rocked while we were on it, and it seems that on windy days, it can rock in the air too, so I think it would be a good idea to take motion sickness medication for peace of mind.

Everyone gives tips before getting off, so we gave a tip of $10 per person. I think it's good to prepare a towel in case you get dropped, along with a camera and some cash.

If you're hesitating, I definitely recommend trying it out!!

私はジェットコースターが苦手なので少し怖いなと思っていたのですが、ジェットコースターみたいにフワッと体が浮くような事もなく、空中からワイキキを見渡せ、とても気持ちいいし楽しかったです！！

私達4人と日本人の20代女の子2人と外国人家族5人でした。日本人の女の子達が「写真を撮りあいっこしませんか？」と声をかけてくれたので、写真は買わずにパラセイリングが終わった後、エアドロで交換しました。

私達はキャーキャー騒いでクルーやキャプテンにも声をかけて楽しそうにしていたせいか⁈海に落とされましたが、他の人達は落とされずにボートに着地していました（落とされたのもめちゃくちゃ楽しかったです）
キャプテンもクルーもとても明るくてイイ人だったし、貴重な楽しい体験ができました。

8/5にしましたが、天気も良く風もあまりなかったので気持ち良かったけれど、ボートに乗っている間揺れるし、風が強い日は上空でも揺れるみたいなので酔い止めの薬を飲んでおいたら安心だと思います。

みんな降りる前にチップを渡すので、私達は一人10ドルのチップを渡しました。カメラと少しの現金と落とされた時の為にバスタオルを用意しておいたらいいと思います。

迷っている方は是非体験して欲しいです！！

We used this place for a small meal after the wedding ceremony.

We were able to enter smoothly. Additionally, there were some menu items written in Japanese, so we could order while looking at those. The dessert came with either coffee or tea. It was very filling and delicious.

The restrooms were easy to find, and it's convenient because you can stop by the beach or visit the Royal Hawaiian Center on your way back.

結婚式後のプチご飯会として利用しました。

スムーズに入ることができました。
また、メニューは日本語で書かれているものがあったのでそれを見ながら注文することができました。
デザートにコーヒーか紅茶がついてきました。
とてもボリューム満点で美味しかったです。

トイレも迷わずにいけるし、帰りにビーチに寄ったりロイヤルハワイアンセンターにもいけるので便利です。

Our guides were wonderful! Saw lots and lots of turtles :)

I experienced surfing with three children and five people. It was a lot of fun. The three sessions of surfing ended in the blink of an eye, so I wish we could have done five.

子供3人と5人で体験しました。とても楽しい波乗りでした。3回の波乗りは、あっと言う間に終わったので、5回乗れたら良かったと思う。

It goes higher than I imagined. I think the time spent in the air was less than 10 minutes, but it was just right.

The boat sways quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.

想像していた以上に高いところまで登っていきます。上空での滞在時間は10分もないくらいだったと思いますが、むしろちょうどよかったです。

船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は酔い止め内服をお勧めします。

The rainbow and sunset were beautiful.
It was a shame that there wasn't a good spot available for the sunset photo opportunity.
It would be nice if there were better timing for changing locations.

虹と夕日は綺麗だった。
夕日のシャッターチャンスに、良い場所が空かなくて残念だった。
場所替えのタイミングがあると良い。

I got in trouble for jumping at the height of the waves while holding the rail (understandably), so don’t do that, but it was an awesome adventure! Would gladly go again, but without jumping this time.

I was looking for a parasailing tour with transportation because the distance from the hotel I was staying at to the meeting point was quite far, and this was the only tour available on weekends, so I booked it the day before departure. It turned out to be about a 15-minute walk from the hotel to the meeting point, which was surprisingly easy. For those staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, it's very close. I had read in reviews that some people experienced seasickness, so I took motion sickness medication in advance. When we got on the boat, there were two families from the mainland U.S. and us, and everyone was friendly and welcoming, making it a lot of fun. When it was our turn to go parasailing, we took off at 150 feet, which was very high and a bit scary. However, everyone on the boat waved at us, and the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head were amazing, making it a wonderful experience. We were up in the air for over 10 minutes, so I think it's a great value tour. I didn't experience any seasickness, and it was truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

宿泊しているホテルから集合場所まで距離があるため送迎付きのパラセイリングを探していましたが、土日やっているのは、当ツアーのみだったため出国前日に申込みました。宿泊ホテルから集合場所までは徒歩15分くらいで、意外と簡単に行けました。ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ宿泊の方はすぐです。口コミで船酔いすると記載があったため事前に酔い止めを服用し、いざボートにのってみると、アメリカ本国からきた家族2組と私たちで、皆さん気さくでアットホームな方たちで、とても楽しかったです。いざ、自分たちの番が来て、パラセイリングで飛び立ちましたが、150フィート、とても高くて怖かったです。でも、ボートから皆が手を振ってくれ、ワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色が素晴らしく、とても良い体験ができました。10分以上飛んでいるので、お得なツアーだと思います。船酔いもせず、本当に楽しかったです。おススメです！

The view was very nice! The staff were friendly, and I had a great time. The landing was slow, so there was no strain on my legs and back.

とてもいい景色でした！
スタッフさんは感じがよくて、楽しめました。
着地もゆっくりで足腰に負担無かったです。

I'm glad I participated in the North Shore tour. I was the only one attending alone, but the guide, Takashi, was very considerate and made it enjoyable. He talked with us the whole way, and I learned a lot. I thought it was wonderful that people live abroad. I also received a lot of snacks, most of which I wouldn't have eaten on my own, and I was very satisfied.

ノースショアツアーに参加して良かったです。
1人参加は私だけでしたが、ガイドのたかしさんが気を遣ってくださり楽しめました。
道中ずっとお話してくださり勉強になりました。
海外に住んで生きてる方は素敵だなと思いました。たくさんのお菓子も頂き、自分じゃ食べないものばかりで大満足です。

The parasailing experience under the clear, refreshing sky was fantastic. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time trying it.

I checked in early and spent some time on the beach right in front of me before boarding the boat. The crew was cheerful and enthusiastic, providing instructions mainly in English, but they also offered assistance in simple Japanese.

We shot up to 150 meters in the air and enjoyed views that are usually not visible. Although there is a fee, they took a lot of photos in burst mode, and I was able to receive the data transfer if I had an SD card or iPhone.

I highly recommend this activity!

天気もよく爽快な空の下のパラセイリング体験。何度かハワイに来ていますが初めてでした。
チェックインを早目に済ませ、目の前のビーチで時間を潰し、ボートに乗船。
クルーの皆さんも明るく盛り上げてくれて、指示は基本英語ですが簡単な日本語でも補助してくれます。
150ｍ上空に一気に上がり普段は見られない景色を堪能しました。有料ですが写真は連写でかなりの枚数、SDカードとiphone であればデータ転送で受け取れました。
おすすめのアクティビティです。

So much fun

We did the 1000ft rope.

My son was really hesitant to go up but the staff were excellent, caring, accommodating and managed to get him to do it - which he then thoroughly enjoyed, especially when getting dunked into the sea!

Excellent staff

Highly recommended activity

It felt higher than I imagined. Even for someone like me who is not good with roller coasters, I was able to ride without feeling scared. It's located about a five-minute walk from the Hilton Hotel, making it convenient for those staying at the Hilton. Thanks to that, I was able to quickly enjoy the ride even with the short time I had on the day of my departure. I wasn't sure if there was an additional fee for taking photos.

想像以上に高く感じました。
ジェットコースターが苦手な私でも、恐怖を感じることなく乗れました。
ヒルトンホテルから徒歩五分くらいのところにあり、ヒルトンホテルに滞在している人に便利な立地です。おかげで、出国当日の短い時間でもサクッと乗ることができました。
写真を撮ってもらうのが別料金かかるのかわかりませんでした。

I experienced a 2-hour Magic Island tour. I could feel the Hawaiian breeze, and the guides were friendly, which made me very satisfied. The Segway has a pouch, so you can carry valuables and towels. At the end, they also recommended a great lunch spot. Although it was in the morning, I was under the blazing sun for 2 hours, so my hands and arms got really sunburned. Even with sunscreen, I still burned, so I think it's better for sensitive individuals to wear long sleeves.

2時間のマジックアイランド周遊コースを体験。ハワイの風を感じられ、ガイドさんたちも親切でとても満足でした。セグウェイにポーチが着いているので、貴重品やタオルは持ち運べます。最後におすすめのランチのお店も紹介いただきました。午前中でしたが、2時間炎天下なので、手の甲から腕がすごく日焼けしました。日焼け止めを塗ってもやけたので、敏感な方は長袖がいいと思います。

It was a good time on water looking at Waikiki beach and the Diamond Head. The best time for its price!!
The crew was friendly and beer option was good.

A beautiful view from above overlooking the Waikiki city while on a volcano crater!! with a fun delicious ending!! Take this tour you wont regret it.
