Hawaii
I participated with my family in their 80s, and it seems everyone had a great time. The hospitality from the staff and other participants was high, and we were blessed with good weather, making it comfortable. Tropical fish gathered around the food in our hands, and if you're lucky, you might see sea turtles swimming by your feet or right in front of you. I think it's also recommendable for elderly people.
**Notes:**
1. It's best to take motion sickness medication first thing in the morning before participating. A few people forgot to take it and got seasick.
2. After getting out of the water, it gets very cold on the boat, so regardless of age or health, everyone needs to wear beach towels, raincoats, or windbreakers to avoid getting cold.
3. Since it's bright, I think it would be good to bring sunglasses. If you have polarized sunglasses for fishing, you might be able to see into the water from the boat when it's sunny.
80代の家族と一緒に参加しました。とても楽しめたようでよかったです。
スタッフや参加者の方々のホスピタリティーも高く、天気にも恵まれたので快適でした。熱帯魚が手元の餌に群がり、運が良ければウミガメが足元の海底や目の前を泳いでいきます。高齢の方にもお勧めできると思います。
【注意】
①朝起きたら、まず酔い止め薬を飲んでから参加したほうがいいです。酔い止めを飲み忘れて何人か船酔いしていました。
②水から出た後、船上はとても寒いので年齢や体調に関わらず"全員"、ビーチタオルやレインコート、ウィンドブレーカーを着て体を冷やさないようにする必要があります。
③眩しいのでサングラスを持っていくとなおいいかと思います。釣り用の偏光サングラスがあれば、晴れていたら船上から海の中を見ることもできるかもしれません。
Last time I came to Hawaii, it was stormy at the sandbar, so this time I'm making a comeback at Hanauma. It's a calm place and close to the beach, so it's easy to take a break if you start feeling unwell. This time, one of my friends got seasick, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it might be a good idea to take some medication. Even if you don't go into the water, there are plenty of cute cats and mongooses around, which is very soothing! I definitely want to join again next time!
前回、ハワイ来た時のサンドバーでは、嵐だったので今回はハナウマでリベンジです。
穏やかな場所ですし、浜からも近いから気分が悪くなっても休憩しやすいです。今回は仲間うちで波酔いした人がいたので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止め飲まれたほうがよいかもです。
海に入らなくても、たくさんの猫やマングースがいるので、可愛くて癒されます!
次もぜひ参加したい!
Thank you, Takenoko, for joining the tour with three people this time. I'm glad you enjoyed snorkeling in a different sea from the sandbar. On the Blue Hawaii Divers tour, we swim for about an hour, so those who are prone to motion sickness may experience some seasickness. For those who are concerned, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication before leaving the hotel to enjoy the tour comfortably.
Also, the cat at Hanauma is very friendly, so for cat lovers, there’s more to enjoy besides the sea. Please do consider repeating your visit when you come back to Hawaii. We are always looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
タケノコ様、この度は3名様でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
サンドバーとはまた違った海でシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけて良かったです。ブルーハワイダイバースのツアーでは1時間程たっぷりと泳ぎに行きますので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は波酔いしてしまう方がいらっしゃいます。ご心配な方はホテルを出発する前に酔い止めのお薬を飲まれた方が快適にツアーを楽しんでいただけると思います。
またハナウマのネコちゃんはとてもフレンドリーですので、ネコ好きの方には海以外にも楽しんでいただけますよ。
ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際には皆様でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
Although the weather was unfortunate, I had a great time. After taking a bus from the nearest hotel and heading about 10 minutes by boat from the port, we arrived at a spot where the color of the sea was clearly different. When boarding the boat, you go barefoot or wear marine shoes, leaving flip-flops at the port.
There are containers under the seats on the boat for each group, similar to costume cases, so it was reassuring to keep our belongings in a vinyl bag and store them in the case. The boat also had a toilet and a roof, making it comfortable. Depending on the tide, when we went, the water level was just about at the height where you could reach or not when getting off the boat.
The snorkeling point had depth, and it seemed like they were feeding the fish, as there were many of them. We also saw several sea turtles. After enjoying snorkeling, there was a BBQ buffet. The meat was very tender and delicious. It was nice to have warm tea and coffee, which was great for our chilled bodies.
After lunch, we could enjoy activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Since the number of SUP boards was limited, we had to wait our turn. I wished we had a bit more time for SUP. On the return bus, there were towels laid on the seats, making it comfortable even with wet bodies. There are no changing areas, so it might be a good idea to bring an extra rash guard or towel as a countermeasure against the bus's air conditioning.
あいにくの天候だったのですが、楽しめました。
最寄りのホテルからバスに乗り、港から船で10分ほど向かうと
海の色が明らかに違うポイントに着きます。
船に乗るときは裸足かマリンシューズになります。ビーサンは港に置いていきます。
船にはグループごとに衣装ケースのような入れ物が椅子の下にあるので、
持ち物はビニールバッグなどに入れてケースに入れておけるので安心でした。
船にはトイレもあり、屋根ありなので快適でした。
潮の具合によりますが、私たちが行ったときは船から降りたら足が届くか
届かないかの高さまで水位がありました。
シュノーケルのポイントは深さもあり、魚の餌付けをしているようで魚が
たくさんいました。
ウミガメも何匹かいました。
シュノーケルを楽しんだ後はBBQのブッフェがありました。
お肉はとても柔らかくておいしかったです。暖かいお茶やコーヒーがあったので、冷えた体には嬉しかったです。
ランチの後はSUP等で楽しめます。SUPは数が限られているので、順番待ちになります。
SUPの時間がもう少し欲しかったなと思いました。
帰りのバスには座席にタオルが敷いてあり、濡れた体でも快適に過ごせました。
着替える場所などはありませんので、バスの冷房対策としてラッシュやタオルを余分に持っていく等した方がいいかもしれません。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. It seems the weather was cloudy, but you were able to swim with the turtles! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We all look forward to welcoming you again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。お天気は曇りだったようですが、カメさんと一緒に泳ぐことができたのですね!!ツアーを楽しんで頂けたようでうれしく思います。 またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Had a wonderful experience, start to finish, thanks to this company’s wonderful staff! Very beautiful snorkeling adventure for a great price. Our agent, Ashton, did an outstanding job with our booking. Our driver for pickup and drop off was right on time and very professional and courteous.
The staff on the day were all bright and kind, providing excellent service. However, upon arrival, the tide was almost at its peak... I couldn't see the sandbar like in the pictures, and the water was up to my waist. It's natural for the sea to have tides, but I think it would be helpful to have an explanation of the tide times based on the season when making a reservation. The sea was very beautiful, so I believe those who are mainly interested in snorkeling can still have a great time even at high tide!
当日のスタッフさんはみなさん明るく親切な方たちで対応◎でした。
しかし、到着時はほぼ満潮状態…写真のようなサンドバーを見れず腰のあたりまで海水がありました。
海に潮の満ち引きがあるのは当然なのですが…時期によっての満ち引きの時間帯の説明が予約時にあるといいかなぁと思いました。
海はとてもきれいだったのでシュノーケリングがメインの方なら満潮時でも十分楽しめると思います!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Sea Tour. We truly appreciate your kind words about our staff's hospitality. We also thank you for your feedback regarding the explanations during the reservation process. We would like to use this as a reference for improving our services in the future. The sandbar is a mystical place that shows different expressions depending on natural conditions, so we sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。スタッフのホスピタリティへのお褒めのお言葉誠にありがとうございます。また予約時のご説明に関するご意見もいただき誠にありがとうございます。今後のサービス向上に向けてぜひ参考にさせていただきたいと思います。サンドバーは自然条件によって刻一刻と異なる表情を見せてくれる神秘的な場所ですので、またの機会にぜひお越しいただけますことを心よりお待ち申し上げております。
On a Saturday in September, I participated with my family of three. Since it’s a popular tour, the shuttle bus was full. When we arrived at the sandbar, the weather was clear, and we enjoyed a wonderful view. You can take photos while walking (a waterproof cover is necessary). By the way, on this day, the water was up to my waist, which was a bit surprising. Soon, the clouds started to look ominous, and we had a sudden downpour. Still, with lunch included, we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and during our free time, we got to try stand-up paddleboarding (SAP). Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable tour. Since it’s a tour aimed at Japanese people, the guide kept things lively and created a homely atmosphere on the boat. I think it depends on the weather, but if you can enjoy this view, you definitely won’t regret it. If it rains, it can get cold, so while there are life jackets available, it’s reassuring to have clothes that you can wear while getting in the water.
9月の土曜日、家族3人で参加しました。人気のツアーなので送迎車は一杯でした。サンドバーに着いた時は晴れていて、素晴らしい景色を堪能できました。歩きながらスマホで撮影できます。(防水カバーは必要です。)ちなみに、この日は腰あたりまで海水があったので、ちょっと意外でした。ほどなく雲行きが怪しくなり突然のスコール。それでもランチが付いて、シュノーケリングでウミガメも見れて、フリータイムでSAP(スタンドアップパドル)にも乗れて、ツアーとしては十分に楽しむことができました。日本人向けのツアーなので、ガイドの人がいろいろと盛り上げて、船内ではアットホームな雰囲気にしてくれます。天気で左右されるとは思いますが、この景色を味わえるなら、絶対、損はしないと思います。もし、雨が降れば寒いので、ライフジャケットはありますが、着たまま入れる服装があると安心です。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. It was sunny, followed by a sudden downpour. I hope you enjoyed the unique weather that Hawaii has to offer. The view of the sandbar in the rain shows a different, beautiful side, doesn't it? I'm glad you were able to see some turtles 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。晴れていて、からの突然のスコール。ハワイならではの天気をお楽しみいただけたのではないでしょうか。雨のサンドバーの景色は、また晴れとは違った素敵な顔を見せてくれますよね。カメさんにも会えたようで良かったです!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Absolutely a paradise of a sea!!
I think even those who are not good at swimming can enjoy it since you can stand.
There were even families with babies.
The shallowest part was about knee-deep.
For those who can swim, snorkeling allowed us to see sea turtles, and if you come to Oahu, you definitely shouldn't miss this!!
The snacks were delicious too.
まさしく天国の海!!
泳ぎ苦手な人でも足がつくので楽しめると思います。
赤ちゃん連れもいたくらい。
1番浅くて膝くらいでした。
泳げる人はシュノーケリングしてウミガメも見れましたし、オアフに来たら絶対これに参加しないと損!!
軽食も美味しかったです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you for uploading so many wonderful photos.
You met a sea turtle... which means that a lucky event is happening for Sayaan right now!!!?
Please do come and visit us again when you come to Hawaii. We will be waiting for you along with the sea turtles on that day.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。たくさ〜んの素敵なお写真アップありがとうございます。
ウミガメに会えた。。。ということは今頃さーやん様にラッキーな出来事が起きているのでは!!!?
ぜひぜひまたハワイにお越しの際は遊びにいらしてくださいね。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。
I participated in a manta snorkeling tour for the first time. I'm not a strong swimmer and it was my first time snorkeling, but it was fine since I just held onto something like a kickboard and floated. The guide was very kind and supportive.
You can rent a bodysuit on-site for $10, and when I participated, everyone rented one. The boat ride to the manta viewing spot had quite a bit of waves, so I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to seasickness. I took some beforehand as well. We were able to see a beautiful sunset from the boat on the way there.
As for the mantas, many of them gathered, and we were able to see them flipping in the water. The guide mentioned that sometimes you might not see any, so I felt lucky to see so many!
On the way back, the boat's lights were dimmed, and we returned while looking at the starry sky. They served us hot chocolate, but it gets cold, so I think it's a good idea to remember to bring a towel.
It was challenging, but I had a very valuable and wonderful experience, and I was extremely satisfied!
初めてマンタのシュノーケリングツアーに参加しました。私は泳ぎも苦手でシュノーケリング自体初めてだったのですが、ビート板のようなものにつかまって浮いているだけなので、問題ありませんでした。ガイドのお姉さんも優しくサポートしてくださいます。
現地でボディスーツ($10)を借りることもでき、私が参加した時は全員借りていました。
マンタを見れるスポットまでの船は波がかなりあり、酔いやすい人は酔い止めをおすすめします。私も事前に酔い止めを飲んでいきました。行きの船内からはサンセットがきれいに見ることができました。
肝心なマンタですが、たくさんのマンタが集まってきて、宙返りもたくさんみることができました。ガイドさんも見れないこともあるとおっしゃっていたので、たくさん見ることができてラッキーでした!
帰りは船内の照明を落として、星空を見ながら帰りました。ホットチョコレートを出していただきましたが、冷えるので、タオルの準備を忘れないほうが良いと思います。
ハードでしたが、とても貴重で素敵な経験ができ大満足でした!
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the Manta University tour.
Since this is a tour with wild mantas, there may be times when you don't see them. It was very lucky that many mantas gathered!
Please join us again when you come back to Hawaii.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Last time it was rainy, the sea was murky, and it wasn't good at all, so I joined the tour this time with high expectations. The weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I enjoyed the sandbar. It was really great.
前回は雨模様で、海が濁り、全然良くなかったので、今回は期待してツアーに参加しましたが、お天気が良く、海も綺麗で、サンドバーも楽しめました。
大変良かったです。
The snorkeling at Molokini Island has excellent visibility, but unfortunately, there are very few fish, and they are mostly small. The later cruise to see the sea turtles was canceled due to weather conditions. The staff members are kind and attentive, and the breakfast and lunch burgers are good.
モロキニ島のシュノーケルは、透明度抜群なるも、肝心の魚たちが少なくかつ小さなものばかり。後半のウミガメを見に行くクルージングも天候の関係でOUT。スタッフの皆さんは親切丁寧だし、朝食、ランチのハンバーガーもGOOD。
It was unfortunately rainy, but after a while, we were able to see some clear skies. I couldn't see anything at the first and second spots, but finally at the third location, I was able to see dolphins underwater! I was also happy to see sea turtles! We could see the swimming dolphins and sea turtles from the boat as well! The guide and all the staff on the boat were kind and friendly, and they really made the experience enjoyable! They even made a dolphin ring underwater for us! The sea was beautiful, and we saw a rainbow, making for a very fun time! I want to participate again and see even more dolphins next time!
あいにくの雨でしたが、しばらくしたら晴れ間も見られました。1回目、2回目のスポットでは私は見ることが出来ませんでしたが、3回目のところでようやく水中でイルカを見ることができました!ウミガメも見ることが出来て嬉しかったです!
泳いでいるイルカ、ウミガメも船からみることができました!ガイドのお姉さん、船に乗っているスタッフの方みんなが親切で優しく、盛り上げてくれました!
水中でドルフィンリングを作ってくれたりもしました!海も綺麗で、虹も見られ、とっても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました!
また参加して今度はもっとたくさんイルカを見たいです!
I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling. The waves were high, so I couldn't go see the turtles, but I was able to snorkel for a long time, which was really great.
シュノーケリング中はたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
波が高く、亀を見に行くことはできませんでしたが、その分長時間シュノーケリングができ、とてもよかったです。
We participated with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law. A Japanese guide named Shota was with us.
It was challenging for my mother-in-law due to her leg issues, but the staff provided cheerful support when boarding and while she was seated, which we were truly grateful for.
I was thrilled to see wild dolphins and turtles!
However, I got a bit carried away and went down the boat slide, which left me with whiplash, making things difficult after returning home. I realized that in my 40s, I need to be more selective about activities as my body can't keep up.
Since we swam in the sea and got our swimsuits soaked, everyone changed in public restrooms after we docked before getting on the bus. I think it's better to bring a change of clothes.
The staff were bright and fun, making it a wonderful half-day experience!
私達夫婦と義母、義妹と参加しました。
日本人のしょうたさんがガイドでした。
義母が脚が悪く大変だったのですが、乗船する時や母が座っている時もスタッフの方々が明るくサポートして下さり、本当に有り難かったです。
野生のイルカと亀に会えて嬉しかったです!
調子に乗って、船の滑り台を滑ったらムチウチ状態になり、帰国から大変でした。40代はアクティビティを選ばないと身体がついていかないことを実感しました…
海で泳いで水着がびしょ濡れになるので、寄港してから皆さん公衆トイレで着替えてバスに乗っていました。着替えは持参された方が良いと思います。
スタッフの皆さん、明るく楽しく盛り上げてくれて半日満喫出来ました!
I took my son, daughter, and my son's two friends on this cruise for my son's birthday and they had a blast! The crew got them sized for their snorkels and fins and they had so much fun swimming with all the fish in the clear water! The kids loved jumping on the inflatable trampoline, going down the slide, and especially loved jumping off the top deck of the boat! They raced each other on kayaks and the stand up paddle boards and had tons of fun. The crew were very accommodating and friendly! They even had snacks and drinks for everyone, which the kids devoured. My kids and my son's friends had a memorable day in the water and I got some great pictures to remember his birthday!
Thanks for leaving a lovely review! We all had a great time, hope to see you guys again!
Mahalo :)
The sandbar was really beautiful!
I was able to encounter sea turtles while snorkeling!
The final lunch was delicious!
サンドバーはすごく綺麗でした!
シュノーケリングではウミガメにも出会うことができました!
最後のランチもおいしかったです!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you were satisfied both in spirit and in your stomach. Please come back and visit us again!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。心もお腹も満足
していただけたようで本当に嬉しいです。
また遊びにきてくださいね!
I always use Dolphin University without fail. I've never missed seeing dolphins! I've never missed meeting a turtle! This time, there was a little incident that delayed our dolphin encounter, but we were able to see plenty of dolphins in the end. The incident was something I probably won't encounter again in my lifetime, so it ended up being a good resolution, and we all high-fived each other.
My son (8 years old) loves turtles and brought a turtle doll from Japan to dive with, showing the real turtle to the doll.
After that, during snorkeling, we received food to give to the fish, and many fish came to us.
The hamburger we had on the boat was also amazing! The staff were all high-energy and entertaining, making for a great time without any boredom.
I also purchased some photos.
If you have a GoPro, it's very convenient. You can take lots of great pictures. I had some excellent videos of the dolphins, but unfortunately, I couldn't upload them.
For those who are prone to seasickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must!
イルカ大学は毎回必ず利用します。
イルカが見れなかったことがない!カメに会えなかったことがない!
今回は ちょっとした事件があり ちょっとイルカに会うまでに
時間がかかりましたが バッチリ沢山のイルカに会うことができました。
事件は多分一生 遭遇することのない程のことだったので、最終的にいい事件解決だったので みんなで ハイタッチした程でした。
息子(8歳)はカメが好きで、日本からカメの人形?をもって一緒に潜り
カメの人形に 本物のカメを見せていました。
そのあとのシュノーケリングも 魚たちにあげる餌をもらい
まくと たくさん魚が 寄ってきてくれました。
船で食べた ハンバーガーも最高!とにかく スタッフの方達
みんなハイテンションで面白く 飽きることない いい時間でした。
写真も購入しました。
Goproあれば とても便利です。良い写真たくさん撮れます。
イルカは動画だったので とてもいい動画だったのに 載せられず残念。
酔いやすい人は 酔い止め必須です!

This was SUCH a fun experience for my kids and their friends (ages 7 - 12). They got to do all five activities and didn't have any wait at all for 4 (there was a short wait for the stand-up paddle, but because there were four other things for them to have fun doing, they didn't notice at all). The crew was fabulous. They let the kids jump off the boat from different parts and had great snacks that the kids gobbled up. We asked them what they liked the best and they said they loved all the activities.
The stand-up paddling was probably the biggest hit. The snorkel and kayak and jumping off the boat (extra LOL) was next. Slide and trampoline after that. Since they're smaller/lighter, it was harder for them to jump on the trampoline -- adults will be able to make it bounce more. But yes, over all, AMAZING experience. Just a reminder that the harbor is paid parking so make sure to be ready for that. Hope you all enjoy it like we did! :)
The morning of the tour that I had been looking forward to so much!
To my surprise, there was unusually heavy rain around Waikiki for this time of year! As I waited for the shuttle, the bus arrived.
In the rain, the bus headed to Kaneohe Bay. On the way, the rain gradually turned into a light drizzle. (The bus seat heater is warm, so if it gets too hot, it's a good idea to let the driver know! lol)
Upon arriving at the port, a female guide entered the bus. Jamie, who speaks fluent Japanese, provided explanations that were both appropriate and super interesting! As my worries about the light rain and what would happen with the boat faded away, the weather also seemed to clear up!
We listened to an explanation of the day's schedule on the boat, and it felt like a comedy show, with everyone smiling. In about 10 minutes, we arrived at the heavenly sea sandbar! At first, everyone got off the boat to float around and walk in the beautiful sea.
Before long, we split into snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding groups, and off we went for snorkeling!!
There were so many fish! While spotting a coral wall on the right side, I could see a sea turtle right below me without needing to squint! I was so excited! (Everyone wanted to see it, causing a bit of a traffic jam while floating. Be careful not to kick anyone nearby, so we can move smoothly!)
As we moved a little further, surprisingly, a sea turtle started to float towards us!! I interpreted it as saying "Hello!" and my excitement peaked again!
The snorkeling lasted about 10 minutes round trip, and the staff were there to ensure our safety, so if you're someone who thinks, "I can't swim, and I might be scared..." I definitely recommend giving it a try!
After snorkeling, it was time for lunch. Oh my, it was delicious! There was a variety of food, drinks, and desserts, and I was very satisfied. After filling our stomachs, we had some free time.
From the anxiety before leaving the hotel, I ended up thinking it was great that I went, and I definitely want to go again!
Thank you so much! 🎶
もの凄く楽しみにしていたツアー当日の朝!
なんとワイキキ周辺は時期的には珍しい大雨!
「ツアー中止かなぁ…」と送迎を待っていると、バスのお迎えが。
雨の中、バスはカネオヘ湾へ。向かう途中から徐々に小雨になってきました。(バスのシートヒーターが温かいので、暑くなってきたら、運転手さんに言った方がよいですよ!w)
港に着き、ガイドの女性が案内でバスの中に。日本語がペラペラのジェイミーさん。また、この方の説明が適切かつ超面白い♫小雨の不安や、これから船はどうなるのかなんて不安が吹っ切れると同時に空模様もモヤモヤが吹っ切れたように回復!!
船上で1日の流れの説明を聞くのですが、すでに漫談状態で、皆んなニコニコ。10分程度で天国の海サンドバーへ到着!初めは、みんな船から降りてプカプカ浮いたり、綺麗な海を歩いたり。
程なくして、シュノーケリングと、サップ組に別れ、いざシュノーケリングに!!
お魚沢山いるーーー!右側にサンゴの壁を見つつ、良く目を凝らす必要も無いくらいにウミガメが真下に!テンションMAX状態です。(皆んな見たくてプカプカ浮いた状態の渋滞が起きますw近くに人がいると軽く蹴られたりするのでスムーズに進みましょうw)
また少し進むと、な、なんとウミガメさんから私達の方にプカァ〜と向かってくるではないですか!!「コンニチワ〜」って言ってくれたと勝手に解釈でまたもテンションMAX!
シュノーケリングも往復10分位で、スタッフの方々がしっかりとガードしてくれているので、「泳げないし、怖いかも…」程度の方は是非挑戦した方が良いですよ!
シュノーケリングの後は食事タイム。あらま、これがまた美味しかったです!食べ物飲み物、デザート色々あり大満足。お腹いっぱいの後は自由行動。
ホテル出発前の不安から、行って良かった、また必ず行きたい!と思わせてくれたツアーでした!
ありがとうございました♫
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you so much for the incredibly fun report! Reading your post made me smile from ear to ear. Please be sure to visit Paradise of the Sea again the next time you come to Hawaii. We will be waiting for you along with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。と〜っても楽しいレポート本当にありがとうございます!!
りゅうくん様の書き込みを読ませて頂きながら、なんだか満面の笑顔になっちゃいました。
ぜひ!!次回ハワイにお越しの際はまた天国の海に遊びに来てくださいね。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております.。Mahalo!
I encountered over 30 wild dolphins while snorkeling. I had plenty of time for snorkeling, which allowed for a valuable experience, and swimming among the pod of dolphins was amazing.
野生のイルカシュノーケリング、30頭以上のイルカと遭遇しました。
シュノーケリングの時間もたくさんとって頂いて貴重な体験ができ、イルカの群れの中で泳ぐ事もできて最高でした。
We headed to a beautiful spot by boat. Since we departed in the afternoon, I was worried about the rain, but by the time we arrived at the spot, the rain had stopped and we were able to see many beautiful fish. There were also plenty of sea urchins. There was a slide, and everyone was having a great time. The snacks, juice, and fruit were very delicious, and my grandchild was very satisfied. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
船で美しいポイントまで向かいます。午後出発だったので雨が降り心配でしたが、ポイントについたころには雨もやみ美しい魚をたくさん見ることができました。ウニもたくさん。滑り台もあり、皆さん楽しんでいました。軽食のスナック、ジュース、フルーツがとても美味しくて、孫も大満足。またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。
Since I participated alone, my request was initially declined due to not meeting the minimum number of participants. However, they later contacted me to let me know that the required number was reached. I didn't get to see the honu, but I was satisfied to see various fish!
一人で参加だった為、最初は最小催行人数に見合わずリクエストNGとなりましたが、後々人数に達したと連絡してきてくれました。
ホヌには会えませんでしたが、様々な魚に会えて満足してます♪
Thank you for joining the tour. Unfortunately, it was disappointing that we couldn't see any sea turtles that day. We will do our best to show you the honu next time you visit, so please join us again. We are always looking forward to your return.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。残念ながらこの日はウミガメには会えず残念でしたね。是非次回お越しいただけた時にはホヌをお見せできる様に頑張りますので、またツアーに参加してくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
This was my second time participating in this tour. I usually join the morning sessions, including those from other companies, but this time I thought I’d try the 12 PM session. Just like last time, the staff were all very pleasant. It’s a reliable tour. The visibility wasn’t great this time, but we saw more than five turtles and a decent number of fish. It lasts about two and a half hours, and the fact that it departs right from the heart of Waikiki makes it highly recommended for enjoying such an experience just a bit offshore. I also appreciated that they provide fins along with the snorkeling set.
このツアーには2回目の参加でした。他社のも含めいつも朝イチの方にさんかしてたのですが、たまには午後にしてみようかと今回は12時の回にしてみました。前回同様スタッフはみなさん感じよく。安定感あるツアーです。今回は透明度が今ひとつでしたが、亀さんは5匹以上、魚はまぁまぁいました。2時間半程度で、しかもワイキキど真ん中からのツアー、ワイキキからちょっと沖にでてこれだけ楽しめる、というのは変わらずおすすめ!シュノーケルセットに加えてフィンも貸してくれるのも結構うれしいポイントです。
I ended up not being able to see dolphins in the ocean. It was my second time seeing dolphins, but it was my first time at Dolphin Junior High. This time it was very hectic, going in and out repeatedly. Since the dolphin tour is with nature, I think it's understandable whether you see them or not, but the level of satisfaction does change. I think it might be good to consider that point carefully.
イルカを海の中で見ることが出来ずに終わりました。イルカは2回目でしたが、イルカ中学は初めてでした。今回はとてもせわしなくて、ハイ入って、出て〜の繰り返し。イルカのツアーは自然相手なので、見られても見られなくても仕方ないと思いますが、やはり満足度は変わりますね。その点をよく考慮してみてもよいかと思います。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin Middle School.
Since this is a tour with wild dolphins in the natural ocean, the conditions vary every day.
We look forward to your retry when you come to Hawaii.

I was worried about the cloudy weather, but luckily, during our first entry into the water, we were able to see a pod of about five dolphins. Some people even had dolphins come very close to them. The instructor mentioned that it was truly a lucky day. Since there were participants who hadn’t seen dolphins a few days prior, I believe the chance of seeing them and how many you see is completely based on luck.
Since it was early in the morning, some people were sleeping during the explanation on the bus, but I think it’s better to stay awake as they discuss safety on the water and what’s necessary to see the dolphins. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.
The snorkeling after dolphin watching was also fun, as we got to see turtles and fish. The visibility was somewhat low, possibly due to the weather, but it was very moving.
Since swimming requires stamina, I got tired while taking a break with my companion, and it was a bit disappointing that the goggles and fins were put away early. Since it’s something you put in your mouth, I thought borrowing them again might mean using ones that others had just used, so we rested on the boat instead, which might have helped conserve our energy. After everyone got out of the water, almost everyone was exhausted and sleeping on the bus.
The hamburger wasn’t particularly delicious, but I think they did a good job providing snacks and drinks that could be prepared on the boat. The staff were very cheerful and made it the most enjoyable activity of my stay in Hawaii. Their attitude towards caring for the ocean and its creatures, as well as their effort to entertain the guests, was wonderful. I absolutely recommend it. There were many repeat visitors, and I also thought I would definitely want to repeat this experience if I come back to Hawaii.
You’ll definitely want photos, so it might be good to bring cash for that. I paid for the fee while I was at the office to pick up my souvenir. On chilly days, they recommend renting wetsuits, so it might be wise to bring cash for that as well.
曇り空で心配でしたが、運良く一回目の入水で5匹程のイルカの群れを見ることができました。間近までイルカが来ている方もいました。インストラクターも本当にラッキーな日だと言っていました。数日前に見れなかった方も参加していたので、実際に見れるか・どれくらい見れるかは完全に運だと思います。
朝早いのでバス内での説明の時に寝ている人もいましたが、海上での安全とイルカを見るために必要なことを話しているのでしっかり起きていた方がいいと思います。おかげで安心して体験できました。
イルカ鑑賞後のシュノーケリングでもカメや魚を見れて楽しかったです。天気のせいかやや透明度は低かったですが、とても感動的でした。
泳ぐのに体力が必要なので疲れてしまった連れと休憩に上がっていたら、ゴーグルとフィンを早々と片付けられてしまったのは唯一残念でした。口にくわえるものなのでもう一度借りても他の人が使ったばかりのものかも…と思い、そのまま船上で休憩しましたが、かえって体力温存にはなったかもしれません。みんな海から上がった後はくたびれていて、バス内でもほぼ全員寝ていました。
ハンバーガーは特に美味しくはありませんでしたが、船上で準備できるものとしてはスナックや飲み物など含めて十分頑張られていると思います。
スタッフの皆さんがとても陽気に盛り上げてくれて、ハワイ滞在の中で一番楽しいアクティビティになりました。海と海の生き物を大切にする姿勢、お客さんを楽しませようという姿勢が素晴らしかったです。絶対におススメです。リピーターも多く、私もまたハワイに来たら是非リピートしたいと思いました。
写真も絶対に欲しくなりますので、その分の現金は持っていっていいかも。私は記念品をもらいにオフィスに行くついでに料金を支払いました。
肌寒い天気の日はウェットスーツのレンタルを勧められるので、その分の現金も持って行った方がよいかもしれません。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in the Dolphin University!
Since this is a tour with wild dolphins in the great ocean, the conditions vary every day.
It was very lucky to see the dolphins up close!!
Please join us again when you come to Hawaii.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.
MAHALO!

The guide was really great at getting everyone excited, and it was so much fun from start to finish! We were able to see a lot of sea turtles and also saw many fish while snorkeling! We took plenty of photos, creating wonderful memories—just the best!!
We could also use the SUP and canoe, so we never got bored during our free time! The lunch, including Leonard's donuts, was fantastic! I definitely want to use this service again!!! Thank you so much!☆
ガイドさんもすごく盛り上げ上手でスタートから
終わりまでとっても楽しかった!^^
ウミガメもたくさん見ることができ、シュノーケルでも沢山の魚を見ることができました!
たくさん写真も撮ってもらうことができ、
素敵な思い出を残せて最高!!☆
SUPやカヌーも利用でき、自由時間も退屈することはありませんでした!
お昼ご飯、レナーズのドーナツも最高でした!
また利用したいと思います!!!^^
ありがとうございました!☆
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Seas Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed every moment of the tour. Leonard's malasadas are hot and delicious, aren't they? Freshly made malasadas are the best! 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアー時間を余すところなくお楽しみいただけたようでうれしく思います。レナーズのマラサダもほっかほかで美味しいですよね!!マラサダはやっぱり出来立てが一番!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Due to time constraints, we reached our destination before sunset, and since I was sitting on the right side of the boat, the instructor took some photos for me, but I was unable to see it directly, which was disappointing. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster, both fun and a bit uncomfortable. Finally, while trying to contain my excitement, we went into the water, but despite waiting, the manta rays did not appear. Instead, there were people stirring up the plankton with their feet. However, at the very end, I was able to see a manta ray doing a somersault. It was truly moving. But now, I realized that I didn't get a commemorative photo. Thank you to all the instructors for your help. Mahalo!
時間的に、船で目的地に着く前にサンセットになったのですが右舷側に座っていたので、インストラクターさんが写真を撮ってくれましたが、直接見ることができず、残念でした。
そして、船の旅はジェットコースターの様で、楽しくもあり、苦しくも有りといったところでした。
いよいよ、ワクワクするキモチを抑えつつ海の中へと、ところが待てど暮らせどマンタは現れません。
それどころか、集まってきたプランクトンを足で掻き回してくれる人も有り。
でも、最後の最後にマンタの宙返りを見ることが出来ました。
これは、感動物でした。ところが今度は、記念の写真が撮れて無いでは有りませんか。インストラクターの皆様、お世話になりました。マハロ!
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Manta University. We apologize for the staff's oversight. We would be grateful if you could join us again when you visit Hawaii.
MAHALO!
ALOHA!
この度はマンタ大学へのご参加ありがとうございます。
スタッフの不手際がございましたこと申し訳ございません。
また、ハワイへお越しの際はご参加頂けましたら幸いです。
MAHALO!
At Angel's Sea, you can really dive into the water, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit under your clothes. It's a very satisfying tour. I would like to participate again.
天使の海では結構がっつり海に入るので、水着を服の下に着ていくなどすると良いです。とても満足度の高いツアー。また参加したいと思います。
My clients said they saw about 60 bottlenose dolphins. They said it was the most incredible experience!
This is why people come to Hawaii for a vacation and adventure. Today we had an awesome time from start to finish. Both Laura and T. from Ohio ( forgive not knowing how to spell his name) were absolutely the best. Very easygoing, sociable, and very informative about the excursion, the ecosystem and all it encompasses. We could see the passion they both have for the environment. They worked well as a team, always putting safety first.
As for the the actual excursion... Pickup was on time, the briefing was short but thorough. And off we went. We were towed out to a point (to save time) then we were cut loose to follow our leader out to our destination. Once there, they reviewed the do's and don'ts regarding the ecosystem and its inhabitants. We snorkeled for over an hour while our guides educated us about all the different things we were seeing. Once done we kayaked back the the shore, rinsed off and sat down for an impressive lunch. (thanks to the cook) YUMMY
Sad to say it was over... highly recommend this tour, company and crew!!!
A big Thank You to all,
Chuck and Holly Romero
Aloha Holly and Chuck,
Wow! What an amazing review! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and thank you also for taking the time to leave such wonderful and encouraging feedback! I am so glad to hear that this is the kind of experience you had with Laura and Tyee on our tour. I hope everybody has this kind of experience with us. Thank you for sharing yours! I speak for Laura and Tyee when I say it was our pleasure to have you join us, and we hope to see you again soon. Mahalo nui loa!
We all participated in a wedding in Hawaii with both families. There were about 10 of us in total, and everyone was extremely satisfied with the experience!
We were thrilled to see sea turtles and were amazed by the mysterious scenery of the sandbar. The snorkeling allowed us to see plenty of fish, creating wonderful memories. Although I couldn't eat much, I definitely want to participate again!
ハワイでウェディングした時に両家みんなで参加しました。
総勢10名くらいで、全員大満足な内容でした!
ウミガメも見えて大はしゃぎし、サンドバーの不思議な光景に圧巻。
シュノーケリングも十分魚たちが見えてとてもいい思い出です。
食事はそんなに食べられなかったけど、また参加したいなと思います!
