I highly recommend this activity if your staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.
It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

It was a bit windy, but the sky was clear! The sandbar wasn't out, but there was a tour schedule, so it couldn't be helped. However, walking in the sea feels great! You can encounter honu while snorkeling! Other tours have boat entries, but Captain Bruce's tour allows entry from the sandbar, snorkeling right above the honu's habitat! The staff's support was also very satisfying, and I highly recommend it!
ちょっと風か強い日でしたが空は晴れ晴れ!
サンドバーは出ていなかったけど、ツアーのタイムスケジュールがあるから仕方がないね。
でも、海の中を歩くって気持ちいいよ!
シュノーケリングではホヌに出会える!
他のツアーはボートエントリー、だけどキャプテンブルースはサンドバーからのエントリーで、ホヌの住処の真上をシュノーケリング!
スタッフのサポートも大満足で、是非おすすめです!

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.
The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

We had a great time on the tour. The boat was easy to find. We signed a waiver and picked a spot to sit until it was time to leave. The crew were friendly and told us where to sit if we want a splash (my kids did) and where to stay dry. They even kept our bag somewhere safe from the waves. My kids loved laying on the net and riding out to turtle canyon. We were one of the first boats out there. They went over some simple instructions and handed out snorkeling equipment. I liked the life vests they used-it was an aqua lung type instead of a basic life jacket so you could choose how much air to have. I had brought a life jacket for my toddler and 5yr old, but they also had life vests for some other kids on our tour.
I had a 10, 5, and 22mo old with me. The crew was helpful handing out stuff and trying to find a mask to fit my 5yr old. She is actually a pretty good snorkel-er but unfortunately it was hard finding a mask and snorkel that fit her. They kept filling with water. I wish I had known and I would have brought hers. If you have a set you like-my tip is to bring it. They did not provide fins either which was ok but I can get my kids and I around easier with fins. The masks and snorkels were pretty basic. Mine fogged up every couple minutes but luckily I am experienced and can clear it. That’s the only draw-back about the trip is I would have rather had our own stuff that we have properly cleaned and fit better. It’s February and kind of a windy/rainy day but it was still warm enough to be comfortable In the water. There were lots of waves and the water was cloudy so it was difficult to see. Soon there were tons of boats and people. We mostly interacted with Matt. He was out in the water life guarding. He helped us find the turtles and was so nice letting my kids hold onto his surfboard when needed. He even helped me carry my middle daughter to the beach since I had my hands full. Thank you! He definitely made the tour great!

During our first trip to Hawaii with our 7-month-old daughter, there weren't many activities we could do, but I heard that there were participants as young as 0 years old in this sandbar tour, so we decided to join. I was really anxious before participating, but the tour staff were very cheerful and kind, which made it a lot of fun. Since I couldn't go snorkeling, my husband and I took turns holding our daughter while doing stand-up paddleboarding, which was enjoyable as well. Our daughter didn't sleep on the flight there, so I was tired, but the beautiful scenery was enough to make me forget that fatigue.
今回7ヶ月の娘との初ハワイでなかなか出来るアクティビティが無かったのですが、このサンドバーツアーは0歳でも参加されてる方がいたとの事で参加しました。
実際に参加するまではすごく不安でしたが、ツアーのスタッフさんがとても明るく親切にして下さってとても楽しめました。シュノーケリングが出来ない代わりに夫と娘の抱っこを交代しながらSUPが出来たのでそれも楽しかったです。
行きの飛行機で娘が寝てくれなくて疲れてましたが、その疲れも吹っ飛ぶくらい素敵な景色でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I imagine it must have been quite challenging to travel by plane with your 7-month-old daughter. Thank you for your efforts. Many of our staff members are parents themselves and they all love children, so I hope you were able to enjoy the tour even with a little one. We hope that as your child grows, your whole family can go snorkeling together next time! We look forward to welcoming you back again.

This excursion was one of my favorite things we did on the island! The crew members were fun and were very helpful to any and every one on board to ensure a great experience. They encourage first timers to attend a quick snorkeling class before you head out in the water, provide you with sunscreen, wetsuits if you are easily chilled, and also have “snuba” gear for those seeking extra adventure. The crew members were personable and eager to get to know the participants if you are willing to talk and mingle. We went on the first tour of the day, so we were provided with coffee and a tasty continental breakfast, as well as lunch, cocktails, and homemade cookies. The hospitality was nothing short of outstanding. Everyone on board was educated about what to expect from both stops and and we got to have a few whale watching experiences on the ride over! Also, don’t miss out on the photo package (we got some great shots and some belly laughing video footage of our group) - and certainly go down the slide for the extra excitement! I would recommend this to people of all ages!

I checked the times for high and low tide in advance from Japan and made a reservation. I signed up for a photo plan, and a dedicated staff member was with us, so we could take pictures anytime, and they took a lot of photos for us!
The Angel's Sea was truly beautiful! The water temperature was a bit chilly, but I gradually got used to it. Occasionally, there are stones mixed in with the sand, so I recommend bringing surf shoes if you're concerned about that.
In addition to exploring the sandbar, we could also enjoy activities like snorkeling, floating, and SUP, making for a very enjoyable half-day! During snorkeling, we were able to see three sea turtles, which I also recommend.
There were plenty of staff members, so I felt safe throughout the program. Additionally, we could interact with other participants during the program, which I think is one of its attractions.

I think it depends on the weather and luck, but the afternoon of February 13, 2020, was amazing. The contrast of the blue sky, the white sandbar, and the blue ocean was stunning, and even as a beginner in snorkeling, I was able to see a sea turtle! A turtle came so close that I felt like saying, "Don't come this way!" and I swam right above it. I had seen many turtles basking on the beach in Hawaii Island, but this was my first time seeing one swimming in the ocean. I was thrilled. Additionally, besides the popular restaurant Masala, we had plenty of buffet-style lunch. Not only the Japanese guide but also the foreign staff, including the captain, all made an effort to communicate in Japanese, which made me very satisfied. (It felt more respectful to Japanese customers compared to other tours where foreign staff would say, "I can't speak Japanese" and just speak in English.) I noticed thoughtful details, like the sandals I took off when boarding the boat being neatly arranged when getting off, and towels laid out on the bus seats for the return trip. I thought I would definitely like to participate again when I come back to Oahu.
天気と運次第だと思いますが、2020年2月13日午後は最高でした。空の青とサンドバーの白と青い海のコントラストが最高だったうえに、シュノーケリング初心者の私でもウミガメに会えました!「ぶつかる~。こっちに来ないで。」と言うぐらい近くにカメが近寄ってきたり、カメの真上を一緒に泳いだり。ハワイ島で甲羅干しのカメにはたくさん会いましたが、海の中で泳いでいるカメを見るのは初めて。感激しました。さらに、オアフ島で一番人気店のマサラダの他にビュッフェ形式のランチもたっぷり。日本人ガイドだけでなく、船長をはじめとする外人スタッフも皆、一生懸命、日本語でコミュニケーションを取ってくれ、大大満足でした。(他のツアーで外人スタッフが「日本語しゃべれません」と言って英語でまくしたてるより、サービス業として日本人客に敬意を表してくれている感じがしました。)乗船する時に脱いだサンダルが船から降りる時にはキレイに並べてあったり、帰りのバスのシートにバスタオルが敷いてあったりと、細やかな配慮を感じました。オアフ島に次に来る時も、また是非参加したいと思いました。

I participated in the manta tour, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any mantas due to rough seas. Since it was the last day on the Big Island and I was scheduled to return to Oahu, I was a bit disappointed thinking I wouldn't be able to participate in any more activities, even with the guarantee system in place.
However, I was informed that since the headquarters is located on Oahu, I could switch to a local tour there, and I was able to join a dolphin swim tour in Oahu!
That tour was amazing, as I got to swim with many dolphins.
Although I was disappointed not to see mantas on the manta tour, the comprehensive guarantee system helped me avoid feeling like I lost out. I highly recommend this company's tours over others.

The sea was very rough due to the front passing the day before. Despite that, we set sail. I was moved to see a manta ray, but I spent a long time in the water and my body got completely cold. When I got back on the boat, I was so cold that my stomach hurt, and my hands trembled for a while. It seems that the temperature in Hawaii in February is low as well. There was a Japanese guide, but I had to ask for information about the restroom and changing area; they didn't provide it on their own.

I signed up after seeing the tour title and a photo of dolphins swimming. It turned out that we were just swimming in the same space as the dolphins (even though we were actually far apart in the ocean, around the surface). Since it was different from being in a confined enclosure, there was no way to swim with wild dolphins. My elementary school daughter was really disappointed, as we had joined the tour with the expectation of swimming with dolphins.

Last year, a friend made a reservation with Beltora for me, and this time I booked it myself!
The sandbar had high water levels, so we couldn't walk on it, but the weather was perfect and we had a great time! Last year, I encountered a sea turtle swimming on the surface, and while I didn't see one this year, I was happy to spot two turtles stuck among the corals while snorkeling! Captain Bruce's staff are always polite and fun, and they clearly let you know when someone spots a sea turtle while snorkeling.
Regarding what to bring, most items available for rent on-site, except for wetsuits and snorkeling masks, are paid rentals, so I recommend bringing seasickness medication and anything else you're used to from Japan. I participated in February, which is the rainy season, but the day I went was sunny! However, the day before it rained heavily, so it's best to check the weather for your participation day. If there's a forecast for heavy rain, it can be too cold to enter the water, and of course, snorkeling wouldn't be possible, which would make spending time on the boat a waste of money. If you have a date with free cancellation and there's a clear heavy rain forecast, I recommend canceling.
The shuttle bus to the meeting place was over 10 minutes late for two consecutive years. This is common in Hawaii, so it's best to arrive early and wait for at least 15 minutes before the meeting time!
This time the weather was sunny, but there were occasional clouds, and the sea was constantly cold and shivering. When playing at the sandbar or snorkeling, it's recommended to leave valuables on the boat and minimize your belongings, bringing only a small amount of cash and your smartphone in a waterproof case.
This time, I added a photo session for an extra $80 because we struggled to take good pictures ourselves last year. The Japanese staff from Captain Bruce always provide fun explanations and host the event, and this time it was a male staff member who took photos in between activities. There were plenty of opportunities and timing for photos, but the technical skills were completely amateur, and I don't think it's worth the $80, so I would recommend skipping it. While I was very satisfied with Captain Bruce's tour itself, the photo session was just one staff member (an amateur) taking pictures with a good camera. Many photos were shadowy or unclear, which was disappointing.
I plan to go to Hawaii next year and the year after, and I intend to participate in Captain Bruce's tour each time, so I recommend booking with Beltora, who has great customer service! The photos I uploaded were taken with our own smartphones!
去年は友人がベルトラさんから予約してくれ、2回目の今回は自分でベルトラさんから予約しました!
サンドバーは水位が高く歩けませんでしたが、最高の天気で楽しかったです♪去年参加した際は水面を泳ぐ海ガメに出会えて、今年はいなかったですが、シュノーケリング中にサンゴに挟まってる海ガメを2匹見られて幸せでした♪キャプテンブルースはいつもスタッフが丁寧で楽しく、シュノーケリング中も誰かが海ガメを発見したら、分かりやすく教えてくれます♪
持ってきた方が良い物の記載で、現地貸し出し有りの物はウエットスーツとシュノーケリングマスク以外はほぼ有料レンタルなので、船酔いの為の酔い止めとか、日本で飲み慣れている物を持参する事をおススメします⭐︎私が参加した2月は雨季ですが、私の参加日は晴天でした♪でも前日はドシャ降りの大雨で催行だったので、参加日の天気は気にした方が良いです⭐︎大雨だと、海に寒過ぎて入れず、もちろんシュノーケリングも出来ないので、船の上で過ごすだけなのはお金が無駄過ぎます。無料キャンセル出来る日程であきらかに大雨予報であれば、キャンセルをおススメします。
集合場所へのお迎えのバスは2年連続10分以上遅れて来ました。ハワイあるあるなので、集合時間前に集合して、15分は待ちましょう!
今回は晴天でしたが、時々雲がかかり、海は常に冷たく震えてました。サンドバーで遊んだり、シュノーケリング中は荷物は船に置くので貴重品や荷物は少なくし、少しの$とスマホ等を防水ケースに入れて身に付ける事をおススメします!
今回、プラス$80も付けてフォトセッション付きを申し込みました。去年自分達だけではうまく写真が撮れなかったからです。毎回キャプテンブルースの日本人スタッフが楽しい説明、司会進行してくれて、今回は男性で楽しかったのですが、その人が合間に撮影をするというものでした。写真を撮る時間やタイミングは沢山あったのですが、技術面が完全に素人で$80の価値は絶対にないので、申し込まない方が良いと思います。キャプテンブルースのツアー自体は本当に満足していますが、フォトセッションはいちスタッフ(素人)が良いカメラで撮るだけです。影だらけや誰か分からない写真が多く、残念でした。
来年も再来年もハワイに行く予定で、毎回キャプテンブルースのこのツアーに参加するつもりで、申し込みは対応が良いベルトラさんをおススメします♪アップした写真は自分達のスマホで撮影したぶんです!

I went snorkeling for the first time! The female guide was very kind and not only sent me the photos she took of me but also pictures of the sea fish, since I didn't bring a camera. It was completely my first time snorkeling, and I felt like I was holding back the group of four, but I was fortunate to be with such a great group, and it turned out to be a fun time. However, I did feel a bit sorry for the others since the guide focused so much on me. But everyone was really nice, and I had a great time. If I have the chance to come to Hawaii again, I will definitely sign up again! I will treasure the photos! Thank you very much!
初めてシュノーケリングをやりました!
ガイドの女性の方はとても親切で、カメラを持って行かなかった私に、私を撮った写真だけでなく、海の魚たちの写真まで、送って下さいました。
シュノーケリングは完全に初めてで、4人のグループの中でも脚を引っ張ってばかりでしたが、グループの方にも恵まれ、楽しいひとときになりました。
ただ、ガイドさんが私にかかりっきりになってしまったことで、周りの方に少し申し訳ない事をしたなとは感じました。でも本当に良い方ばかりで楽しかったです。
また、ハワイに来る機会があれば、また申し込ませていただきます!
写真宝物にします!
ありがとうございました
Dear Mr. Smart, thank you very much for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. If you ever come back to Hawaii, please do consider repeating the tour. We are always here to welcome you back. Thank you again. Mahalo!!

I visited Kealakekua Bay, known as the Path of the Gods. The hotel I stayed at was the Sheraton, which was conveniently located just a short walk from the meeting point. Since it's the end point for the trolley, I think it's easy to get there even if you don't rent a car or stay at the Sheraton.
The guide spoke English and was very knowledgeable about history, answering any questions we had. Additionally, to protect the coral, we were allowed to use environmentally friendly sunscreen for free. The water was truly beautiful, and I was able to see many cute fish! It was February, but I enjoyed myself without a rash guard. It was a bit chilly, so I couldn't stay in the water the whole time... haha. After snorkeling, they provided fresh fruit, snacks, and drinks on the boat! It was really great!
神々の道と言われるケアラケクア湾に行きました。止まっていたホテルがシェラトンだったので歩いてすぐの集合場所で便利が良かったです。トロリーの終点なのでレンタカーしてない&シェラトン宿泊者じゃなくても行きやすいと思います。
ガイドは英語ですが、歴史の知識も豊富で聞けばなんでも答えてくれます。また珊瑚保護のため、環境に優しい日焼け止めも無料で使用させてもらえます。本当に水がキレイな場所なのでたくさんのかわいい魚たちを見ることができました!2月でしたが、ラッシュガードなしで楽しめました。少し寒くてフルタイムで水の中に入っていられなかったですが…笑 シュノーケルの後、船の上でフレッシュフルーツとスナック、飲み物を用意してくれますよ!とても良かったです!
マハロ・ヌイ(大変ありがとうございます)5つ星の推薦とドルフィン・ディスカバリーズを選んでいただき、感謝します!次回のビッグアイランド訪問でお会いできることを楽しみにしています。ア・フイ・ホウ(また次回まで)!
Mahalo nui for your 5 star recommendation and for choosing Dolphin Discoveries! We hope to see you on your next visit to the Big Island. A hui hou (until next time)!

This was my first time participating. In the end, I didn't get to see any manta rays... However, this company offers a free tour next time if you don't see manta rays. I participated in this tour on the Big Island, but since the company also has a branch on Oahu, I signed up for a snorkeling tour to see turtles there, which was really free. They provided transportation to and from the hotel, which was very accommodating. The entire crew was energetic and kept the participants entertained from start to finish. During snorkeling, I was able to observe turtles right in front of me, explore the seabed while free diving, and play on a waterslide and trampoline on the water—such a satisfying experience! They also provided warm drinks, which was helpful. The pineapple was super delicious. Chanel from the Oahu branch, it became a wonderful memory of Hawaii! Thank you. And to the crew on the Big Island, you were all handsome with your Kansai dialect! Thank you.
初参加です。
結果的にはマンタは見られなかったです・・・
がしかし、ここの会社はマンタが見られなかったら次回のツアーは無料。
今回はハワイ島での参加でしたがオアフ島にも会社があるので後日オアフ島でカメを見に行くシュノーケリングツアーへ参加申し込みして本当に無料。ホテルまで送迎してくれて至れり尽くせり。クルー全員元気が良くて参加者を最初から最後まで楽しませてくれました。シュノーケリングでは目の前でカメを観察できたり素潜りで海底を散策!?出来たり海の上での滑り台やトランポリンで遊んだり大満足!!温かい飲み物も出してくれて助かりました。パイナップル超美味しかったです。オアフ支社のシャネルちゃん、良きハワイの思い出になりました!ありがとう
そしてハワイ島のクルーの皆様、関西弁でイケメンさん!ありがとう
Thank you for uploading so many photos! It's unfortunate that you didn't get to see the manta rays, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the retry of the turtle tour in Waikiki! Please come back to challenge yourself with the dynamic manta rays again. Mahalo!
たくさんの写真upありがとうございます!
残念ながらマンタには会えなかったとのことですが、ワイキキのカメツアーにリトライ参加で楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです!
ダイナミックなマンタに是非再チャレンジしに来てください。

If you are looking for some great Napali Coast views from the water, look no further. This tour was the complete package with a good amount of time for snorkeling, marine life watching (dolphins, whales, sea lions), and some good ole laid back sailing. You will start in Port Allen and travel north west up the famed Napali coast. With food and refreshments along the way this is a great afternoon of sailing and taking in the sights. The water can get a little choppy out there so if you are prone to sea sickness I would recommend taking something a few hours before departure. If not it is nothing a couple of beers won't fix! I took hundreds of photos and am having even a tough time deleting the duplicates! If you have the time one day in Kauai, I would highly reccomend this tour.
Thank you so much for joining us and for sharing your great review! Mahalo and Aloha

Starting with welcome fruits, homemade ginger ale, a cheeseburger and hot dog for lunch, cookies with macadamia nuts, and a Mai Tai, I was very satisfied! Upon arriving at Morokai Island, I immediately saw sea turtles, and the snorkeling was excellent with a lot of fish to see. I also encountered sea turtles quickly at the next island. The visibility might have been better at Morokai Island. However, on the way back, I saw whales multiple times and was extremely satisfied! It was just a bit windy and cold. Takako, who attended to us, was very nice! The person at check-in, the one near the boat who showed us the parking, and another Japanese person, everyone was super nice!
ウェルカムフルーツから始まりお手製(?)のジンジャーエール、お昼のチーズバーガー&ホットドッグ、マカダミアナッツが入ったクッキー、マイタイと大満足です!モロキシ島も着いてすぐ海ガメにも会え、シュノーケリングも透明度抜群でお魚がたくさん見られました。次の島でもすぐ海ガメに会えました。透明度はモロキシ島の方が良かったかも。でも帰りに何回もクジラにも会えて大々満足です!ただ風が強くて寒かったです。アテンドしてくれた、たかこさんがとってもいい感じでした!チェックインの人、船の近くにいてパーキングを教えてくれた人、もう一人の日本の方、みんな超いい人でした!

This was a great cruise! The staff was very helpful to get everyone in the water in a timely manner. The reef at Molokini and turtle town were amazing! We saw a variety of sea life while at both location. Also we were able to see multiple turtles in turtle town which made the trip extra special! The boat had a slide that we were able to go on while at Molokini which was so much fun! The food and drinks were good as well!

We picked a great time to go during whale season because we not only got an amazing snorkeling cruise but a whale watch cruise as well! We saw so many whales going out to Molokini as well as when we were coming back into the Harbor. I was also blown away with the amount of turtles that we got to see at Turtle Town and the crew was helpful shouting out when they would see one so that everyone would get the chance. Parking was very easy to find and the boat was right behind the lot that we parked at. I was also amazed with how quickly they got everyone checked in with the amount of people that were there. We had the best day and I would definitely go again!
