Hawaii
I had a preschool child with me, and we were able to participate safely and enjoyably. It was a valuable experience to see dolphins swimming right in front of us.
幼稚園の子供がいたのですが安全かつ楽しく参加できました。目の前で泳いでいるのイルカを見ることができ貴重な体験ができました。
Aloha ttt,
I'm glad that even the little ones were able to see the wild dolphins up close!
Even without entering the water, there are times when the dolphins swim alongside the boat, greeting us as they come close. This allows young children and elderly guests to enjoy watching the dolphins from the boat.
Please come visit us again!
Mahalo!
Aloha tttさん、
小さいお子様にも野生のイルカをそばで見ていただけてよかったです!
海に入らなくても、イルカたちが挨拶するように船によってきて並走しながら泳いでくれることもあるので、
幼いお子様やご高齢の方にも船の上からイルカを見ていただくこともできます。
また是非遊びにいらしてくださいね。
Mahalo!
There was a huge storm the night before, so we were unable to swim with turtles. HOWEVER, these guys still offered to take us on a sail, even though we were the only two guests on the boat. They said, "Well, you booked it, so we still wanted to take you out on the boat." We saw several different schools of dolphins, and they were experts in steering close to them and sticking with them so we could get some regally close up videos! Music was fun, and they shared lots of interesting info with us throughout the sail. I highly recommend!
Another wonderful snorkel trip with these folks. Great attention to detail, safety & passenger enjoyment.
Aloha,
Mahalo Nui Loa for joining us and taking the time to review us. We are thrilled you had a wonderful time. We hope to see you soon!
I took my family ranging from 10 years old to 30 years old. Everyone had a great experience, even the 10-year-old who was a bit fearful at first. The crew help them overcome his fear of being in the water with the turtles. Cruise right now it’s a ball, welcoming and we felt very safe like the equipment being sanitized. They offered us drinks, water soda juice whatever we like. They checked on us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and felt safe. They were very entertaining during the right and very professional and the water. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.
I heard that you can see almost 100% of them, and I really did! However, dolphins are incredibly fast! Haha. It's obvious, but they are super quick, and I had a hard time taking pictures! So, I recommend using a GoPro or something to record videos and then cutting clips from those!
ほぼ100パーセント見れるとのことでしたが本当に見れました!ただイルカってすごく早い!笑。当たり前ですがめちゃくちゃ早くて写真とるの苦労しました!なのでgoproなどで動画とっといてその動画の切り出しの方がおすすめです!
The crew was super fun and really paid attention to everyone onboard. Everyone was included in all activities while on the sandbar. I would highly recommend this specific company. They provided SUP boards, snorkels, and lead us to see the sea turtles (they were HUGE)! One of the most fun activities we had while in Oahu.
Thank you very much for your comment. We are very glad to hear that you had a great time with us. We hope you will join our tour again. Mahalo! - Captain Bruce
Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

Nick, Liz and the other girl whos name I can't remember were amazing! They accommodated all our needs and beyond. Sea Quest is awesome. They charged my phone for me while we went out, because my battery was almost dead. Came back and had 74%. Thanks so much to our Captain, our mermaids lol and the rest of the amazing team, for an amazing time and for an unforgettable memory
Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go sandbar . It's easy access and best way to kayak to sandbar !
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayaking adventure! And thank you for taking the time to post such an awesome review and pictures. That is awesome and we really appreciate it! Look forward to seeing you again soon! Mahalo!
I couldn't imagine it being any more amazing. The tour guides were all really professional and a safety diver made sure we didn't accidentally swim into the boat. We got very good diving glasses as well. The sharks themselves were really calm and didn't show any aggression at all and none of us got afraid once they did show up. If i had to describe it, I'd say it feels a bit like standing in front of a cow, a horse, or a dolphin. You know they are multiple times as big as you and could easily kill you, but there is no danger as they simply don't behave like that. And the same goes for the sharks.
very friendly people, good customer service, best water experience
Captain Woody and Jacob were very knowledgeable, engaging and personal. We wanted to snorkel for 1 -2 hours and did not need drinks and food, just a couple of relaxing hours in the water and sitting. This was very affordable and low key. The turtles did not disappoint us as we followed and observed several along with a multitude of fish.
The trip does not include flippers so we rented 2 pairs for 10.00 total from the Waikiki Dive Shop on Nahua St., a short walk away.
Great view & vibes♂️. The trip was great. Thank you
An amazing boating and snorkeling experience with an incredibly reasonable price! The crew was friendly and good-looking, the boat was beautiful, and the trip was just long enough to get a good fix of the sea without getting too cooked on the water. Plus with snorkeling gear (sans fins) and drinks!
The trade winds kept us from snorkeling at Molokini but the crew found us a quiet and calm cove to snorkel at. The crew was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the drinks were free. A truly enjoyable excursion. Fellow passengers kept saying that is was their favorite excursion as well. I highly recommend that you take this trip.
Mahalo for joining us and for writing a review!
We had a wonderful time and even saw Hammerhead sharks!
What an amazing experience. The kayaks are great. They are sit-on-top kayaks which makes them much easier to get back on should you capsize or after you get out at the sandbar. The team shows you everything you need to know about the Kayak, how to get out to the sandbar and how to find your way back.
A short 30-45 min paddle out to the sandbar and you are in heaven. Get out in calm, waist deep, crystal clear, warm ocean water and look all around at the beauty and peacefulness nature provides. This was probably the most relaxed I was during the entire vacation. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
Aloha Ed! What an amazing review! Thank you so much for coming to see us for a Kane'ohe Bay kayaking adventure. I am so glad to hear it sounds like you had a great experience. And I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to leave such wonderful, positive feedback. That really means a lot to us and we really appreciate it. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
We saw a lots of turtles and dolphins. It was a great experience.
I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!
Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.
Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!
Beautiful views of Kaneohe park and sandbar, friendly service, a hidden gem on Oahu.
Aloha Kai,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review! That really means a lot to us and is great to hear. Looking forward to seeing you again soon! Mahalo nui loa!
They accommodated my sudden reservation regarding Hawaii. The sandbar had amazing transparency. The BBQ hamburger I had for lunch was freshly made and very delicious. The boat was also clean and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.
ハワイについてからの急な予約に対応してくださいました。
サンドバーは透明度がすごく最高でした。
ランチでいただいたBBQハンバーガーはできたてで、とてもおいしかったです。
船もきれいで快適でした。
素敵な体験ができました。
It was an incredible downpour. Before going, I looked at many pictures of Heaven's Beach and thought that since the water was about knee-high, I could enjoy it even though I'm not a good swimmer, so I made a reservation. However, due to the heavy rain, the water level was high, and at 155 cm, I was barely able to stand on my tiptoes.
The waves were rough and murky, which was scary, so only my husband went snorkeling while I waited. I was able to enjoy paddleboarding with others who were waiting, but I had imagined a calm, clear sea with turtles swimming nearby, so I was quite disappointed.
The lunch was delicious, and the crew on the boat were nice people, but the sea in February was freezing cold, and everyone else seemed eager to go back. It was at a level that could be laughed about, so I hope to have a revenge trip someday.
ものすごい大雨でした。行く前に天国の海の写真をたくさん見て、高さも膝上ぐらいで泳ぎが苦手でも楽しめそうだと思って予約しました。大雨のせいで水位が高く、私は155㎝ですが爪先立ちしてあごギリギリでした。
波も荒く濁っていて怖かったので、主人だけシュノーケリングに行き私は待っていました。
待っている人でサップ等をして楽しめましたが、膝丈の穏やかな透き通った海で亀が近くに泳いでいるのをイメージしていたので、かなり残念でした。
ランチは美味しくて船の方々もいい人でしたが、2月の海の雨は震えるほど寒く、他の方もみんな早く帰りたそうでした。笑い話になるぐらいのレベルだったので、またいつかリベンジしたいと思います。
Thank you for choosing the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour from among the many optional tours available. We are very sorry that you could not participate in snorkeling due to the unfortunate heavy rain on the day of your tour, but we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the SUP and lunch. The weather in Hawaii can change quickly, and it can get chilly depending on the wind conditions. Regardless of the weather, we are committed to ensuring our customers are satisfied with the tour by improving cold weather measures and the content of our tours. We sincerely look forward to the opportunity for you to experience a different aspect of Paradise Ocean on your next visit.
この度は数あるオプショナルツアーの中からキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーをお選びいただきありがとうございました。当日は生憎の大雨でシュノーケリングにご参加いただけなかったこと大変残念でございましたが、SUPとランチを楽しんでいただけたようで、スタッフ一同大変嬉しく思います。ハワイはお天気が変わりやすく、風の状況で寒くなってしまうこともございますが、天候に関わらずお客様にツアーをご満足いただけるよう、寒さ対策やツアーの内容の改善を重ねていく所存でございます。またの機会にぜひ違った表情の天国の海を体験していただけますこと、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The sea is beautiful!
There were a few waves, but the water was very clear, and I could see the fish perfectly.
The staff on the boat were very friendly and engaged with us, making it a fun tour.
とにかく海がキレイ!!
波が少しあったけど、透明度が高く、魚もしっかり見えて言うことなし。
船内でもスタッフの方が色々と声をかけてくれて、楽しいツアーとなりました。
We participated as a mother-daughter duo with no snorkeling experience. My mother is in her 60s. Initially, we joined with the mindset that just seeing dolphins from the boat would be enough, but once we set off, we were encouraged by our guide to go into the water. My mother, who can hardly swim, used a float, but the guide skillfully led us, and she was incredibly moved to see the dolphins from the best spot. I was impressed by the professionalism of the guide. Not only was the encounter rate with dolphins high, but the guide also kept track of the participants' names and how much they were enjoying themselves, even while wearing snorkeling gear. This was amidst many other tours. It was truly amazing. Although it was more active than other tours, the love for dolphins from our guide shone through. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves dolphins.
シュノーケリング経験のない母娘で参加しました。母は60代です。
当初は船の上からイルカを観れるだけでもという気持ちで参加しましたが、いざ出発するとガイドの方の勢いに後押しされ海の中へ。ろくに泳げない母は浮を借りながらですが、ガイドさんがしっかりと誘導してくれたので一番の特等席でイルカを観られたと大変感動していました。ガイドさんのプロの仕事はこういうものか。と感銘を受けました。イルカとの遭遇率のみならず、シュノーケリングを着けた上からでもツアー参加者の名前と楽しめているかをしっかりと把握してくれます。他ツアーが沢山入り混じる中でです。本当に凄い。他のツアーよりもアクティブでしたが、イルカを愛するガイドさんの愛が伝わってきました。イルカ好きには何度でもおすすめ出来ます。
It was raining from the morning, but miraculously, it cleared up at the sandbar. ☀️ I played volleyball with the staff, and the cold was blown away. The hamburgers for lunch were also hearty and delicious. My child spilled hot cocoa and got burned, but they quickly helped cool it down with ice and even lent us some ointment, which was really helpful. Thanks to the friendly and cheerful staff, we had a wonderful day.
その日は朝から雨だったのですが、サンドバーは奇跡的に晴れ☀️
スタッフの方とバレーボールをし 寒さも吹っ飛びました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも ボリューミーで
美味しかったです
子供が ホットココアをこぼし、やけどしたのですが
すぐに氷で冷やして下さり 軟膏まで貸してくださって 本当に助かりました。フレンドリーで陽気なスタッフのお陰で楽しい1日が過ごせまた。
Many reviews mentioned that the sea in Hawaii is cold in February, so I prepared myself for that. I visited in late February, but we were blessed with great weather and had a beautiful sandbar experience, which made it worth participating! The staff took many memorable photos of us at the sandbar, and we enjoyed a delicious barbecue until we were full, which left us very satisfied. We even encountered a honu (sea turtle) and had our first stand-up paddleboarding experience, creating wonderful honeymoon memories. 😊
ハワイの2月の海は寒いという口コミが多く、覚悟して参加しました。2月下旬に伺いましたが、天気に恵まれてとっても綺麗なサンドバー体験が出来、参加してよかったです!
サンドバーでの記念写真をスタッフさんにたくさんとっていただいたり、お腹いっぱい美味しいバーベキューもいただき満足してます。ホヌにも出会えて、初SUPも経験できていいハネムーンの思い出ができました(^ ^)

A pod of dolphins came over to us about five times, and we were able to see many dolphins. I was really happy to meet a turtle as well. I would love to participate again!
イルカさんの群れが5回くらいこちらによってきて、たくさんイルカさんを拝むことが出来ました。
カメさんにも会えて本当に嬉しかったです。また参加したいと思います!
Congratulations on your graduation from Iruka Junior High School.
I'm very happy to hear that everyone enjoyed the time when the dolphins were very friendly.
Please come again; we look forward to seeing you!
Mahalo!
イルカ中学ご卒業おめでとうございます。
この時期はとてもイルカがフレンドリーな日が続いてみなさま楽しんで頂けたようでとても嬉しいです。
ぜひまたいらしてください、お待ちしております!
Mahalo!
The driver who picked us up and the boat staff were cheerful and energetic, making the tour very enjoyable. The turtles didn't come close, but we were able to see them from a distance. Last time, they came right next to us, so I was a bit disappointed... (;∀;) I want to try again next time!
お迎えの運転手さんも船のスタッフの方も明るく元気でとても楽しくツアーに参加させていただきました。
カメさんは近くには寄って来なかったですが、遠くから見ることができました。前回は真横に来たので少し残念‥( ;∀;)次回リベンジしたいと思います!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it.

The weather was unfortunately not great, but there were plenty of fish playing around while snorkeling, and a sea turtle was swimming right next to us. The barbecue after getting back on the boat was also fantastic!
生憎の天気でしたが、シュノーケルではたくさんの魚が戯れており海亀もほんのすぐ横をすいすい泳いでいました。船に上がってからのバーベキューも最高!!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The freshly grilled BBQ after snorkeling is exceptional, isn't it? We have received great feedback from many customers. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling as well. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。シュノーケリング後の焼きたてBBQは格別ですよね!たくさんのお客様からご好評をいただいております。シュノーケリングも楽しんでいただいたようでとても嬉しく思います。またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Great time, great fun, great crew. Nice boat for this trip and we enjoyed our time on water. Thanks for a great crew, and just a slow down time to enjoy Hawaii. I will do this trip again next time I'm here. Thanks again. Captain Jerry in Texas.
