We had an amazing time on our Dolphin tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgable. Loved that it was a small group, and we were able to swim with the Spinner Dolphins and Sea turtles. Also lucky enough to see Bottle Nose Dolphins and Humpback whales too. Only downside was getting a bit sea sick. The staff looked after my phone while I fed the fish and took a great selfie

My wife and I went to this adventure hoping to have a great time and see some fish here and there while snorkeling but these guys got us a great tour and we saw a ton of fish near the coral reef where they took us. The staff is super friendly and fun plus. The food was right on point and we loved they even gave us some hot chocolate after the swim to warm us up a bit.
Jenner and the captain are super friendly, I would love to go back and see them again when I go back to Hawaii.

It's been about a month since I returned from Hawaii, and it has become my best memory. The instructor and the couple in my group were very friendly and it was a lot of fun! I encountered fish, turtles, and eels, and I even got some beautiful photos taken! The downloaded photos turned out really well, and I've been showing them off to everyone since I got back. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to participate again, and I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you for everything!
ハワイから帰ってきて約1ケ月経ちましたが、一番の思い出になっています。
インストラクターの方も、一緒のグループのご夫妻もとても気さくで楽しかったです!魚も亀にもウツボにも出会え、しかも綺麗な写真も撮っていただきました!
ダウンロードした写真は本当に綺麗に撮れており、帰ってからみんなに見せて自慢しています。
また機会あれば是非参加したいと思いますし、皆さんにおすすめしたいです。

The tour was quite cold due to the cloudy weather. Everyone on the tour was Japanese. There was one Japanese guide and a few locals from Hawaii. The Japanese guide mainly led the tour. During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see several sea turtles. After the photo session at the sandbar, we went snorkeling. It was cold! (laughs) Since we were snorkeling in a large group, honestly, we couldn't see anything due to the sand. I had imagined beautiful fish and coral, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A light meal of sandwiches and chips, along with warm drinks, was also provided. I hope to go on a nice weather day next time!
曇りだったため、とても寒い中でのツアーになりました。ツアーは全員日本人。ガイドさんはひとり日本人で、あと数名ハワイの方がいました。主に日本人ガイドが案内をしてくれます。ウミガメウォッチングでは、何匹ものウミガメがみれました。サンドバーでの写真撮影時間を終え、スノーケルへ。寒かった!(笑)多くの人数で連なってスノーケルするので、正直砂ぼこりでなにも見えませんでした。綺麗な魚と珊瑚を想像していましたが、残念。軽食はサンドイッチとチップス、温かい飲み物も用意されていました。今度は天気のいい日に行けたらいいなー!

Our accommodation was at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but the pickup was at Ilikai Hotel (meeting at 9 AM). I was surprised to find that the pickup vehicle was a large bus instead of a van. I understood why the meeting point was in front of Ilikai Hotel, as it must be difficult to enter the narrow pickup area at Hilton. After that, we stopped at several hotels, and by the time we headed to the port, the bus was almost full. We arrived at the port in about an hour. After that, we took a boat to the sandbar. Since it wasn't low tide, even in shallow areas, the water depth was up to my knees, but the scenery was beautiful. We then had lunch with hamburgers topped with grilled patties on the boat, moved to a spot where sea turtles frequently appear for turtle watching from the boat, and then went to a large coral reef for snorkeling. Here, we were able to see many fish and turtles. However, I think the coral and sea in Ishigaki Island, where I go diving every year, might be prettier (though it probably depends on the day's conditions). After returning to the port, we switched to a bus and went back to the hotel (we returned to the hotel around 3 PM). When we got off the boat, the Japanese guide asked for a tip, which made me wonder if it wasn't included in the tour fee. There are tours on Veltra that include tips, so it might be a good idea for everyone to check.
宿泊先がヒルトンハワイアンビレッジでしたが、ピックアップはイリカイホテルでした。(9時に集合)迎えの車をワゴン車だと思っていたら、大型バスでびっくり。ヒルトンの狭い送迎場所に入りにくいのだろうなと、集合場所がイリカイホテル前だったことを納得しました。その後、数ヵ所のホテルに寄り、港に向かう時にはバスがほぼ満席になっていました。港には1時間程度で到着。その後、船でサンドバーへ。サンドバーは、干潮でなかったため、膝程度まで浅いところでも水深がありましたが、きれいな景色が広がっていました。その後、船上で焼き上げたパテをのせたハンバーガーの昼食、ウミガメがよく出没するポイントに移動して船上からのウミガメ見学、大きなサンゴ礁に移動してシュノーケルを行いました。ここでは、たくさんの魚や亀を見ることができました。ただ、毎年ダイビングに行く石垣島のほうが珊瑚や海はきれいかな。(その日のコンディションにもよるのでしょうが)その後、港にもどり、バスに乗り換え、ホテルに戻りました。(ホテルに戻ったのが15時くらい)船を降りるときに、日本人のガイドにチップを求められた時は、ツアー料金に含まれていないの?と疑問が沸いて来ましたので、同じveltraのツアーでチップ込のツアーもあったりしますので、皆さん確認はされたほうがいいかもしれません。

I made a reservation for a "Cruise & Sea" experience to help my husband, who has never been to Hawaii, fall in love with it. The weather was quite changeable, but during lunch and the timing at the sandbar, it cleared up beautifully, and it felt wonderful. We even saw sea turtles!
I didn't go snorkeling; instead, I relaxed on the boat, enjoying the scenery and reading, which was also nice. My husband was enjoying the beautiful views on the Angel's Sea Cruise as well!
When we went from the boat to the sandbar, we had to swim a little in the water, and I thought it would have been better if we could have just stepped onto the sand directly. (I guess it might not be possible because it's a large boat.)
ハワイは行ったことがないという主人に、ハワイを大好きになってもらいたくて、「クルーズ・海」で、ハワイを堪能してもらいたくて、予約しました。
天候はコロコロと変動がありましたが、ランチ、サンドバーのタイミングには、ぱーっと晴れて、とても気持ちが良かったです。ウミガメも見れました!
私は、シュノーケリングはせずに、船の上でのんびり景色をみたり、読書をしたりして、過ごしましたが、それもまた良かったです。
主人も、きれいだねと、天使の海クルーズを堪能していました!
船からサンドバーに行く時に、海の中を少し泳いでいかないといけなかっったので、そのまま砂の上に降りれたらもっとよかったなぁって思います。(大きな船なので無理なのかと思いますが。)

Since I went to the Big Island, I absolutely wanted to see a manta ray! With high spirits, I joined this tour. I was really excited until I got into the water, but... since it was December, the water temperature was cold, and the waves were quite strong, so the conditions weren't great. Once I got in the water, it was really cold, and even though I took motion sickness medication, I ended up feeling seasick. I stayed in the water for 30 minutes, determined to see at least one manta ray, and I was able to see a few! The excitement I felt when I saw them was truly beyond words! However, I couldn't last until the end and had to get back on the boat after 30 minutes, feeling groggy... but this is also a memory of my trip.
The instructor, Torichan, was a very cheerful Japanese person, which made me feel really at ease. They lent us their personal windbreaker since we were feeling seasick and offered us warm drinks.
It was easy to communicate in Japanese, which was nice.
I want to see manta rays up close again, so I think I'll try for a rematch during the warmer season!
Thank you for the exciting experience! ^ - ^

Exploring the sandbar was easy when the seabed was sandy, but when we got closer to the rocky areas, it was painful on the soles of our feet, and everyone let out little screams. However, wandering underwater was fun. I can't swim at all, and while I didn't snorkel, the participants who dove were all excited about the beautiful sea. It's a shame I couldn't see it! But for those who couldn't dive (like me and a grandmother with small children), we were able to take a sightseeing tour around the area on a motorboat. The crew only spoke English, but chatting with them was enjoyable. The Japanese-speaking guide was also interesting, and the meal exceeded my expectations. Those who dove seemed to get hungry, as they even went back for seconds. Next time, I hope to be able to swim a bit better and challenge myself to try snorkeling again.
サンドバーの散策は砂場状の海底の時は未だ歩きやすいのですが、岩に近い海底面の時は足裏が痛くて皆んなチョット悲鳴をあげたり、海中の散策が面白かったです。全く泳げないのですが、シュノーケリングの時はしませんでしたが、潜った参加者の方々は皆さん楽しいんで綺麗な海の様子に興奮気味でした。見れなくて残念!でも、潜れない人(私と小さいお子様連れのおばあさん)には、モータボートで周りを観光させてくださいました。英語しか喋れないクルーでしたが、お喋りがたのしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんんもおもしろく、食事も結構期待以上の内容でした。潜った人達はやはりお腹が空くのかお代わりまでしていましたよ。次回は少し泳げるようになって、シュノーケリングにチャレンジできるよう、又利用しようと思います。

I participated for the first time at the strong recommendation of a junior colleague. I was lucky with the weather, but the water temperature was surprisingly low, not quite what you would expect from a southern island's sea. The water level at the sandbar was about knee-deep, so it didn't feel like a floating island. My wife, who participated last year, mentioned that the water level was up to her waist, so perhaps this year was still better.
For lunch, it wasn't the BBQ I had imagined; instead, they served hamburgers made from grilled patties over charcoal. It was delicious.
After playing at the sandbar for about an hour, we moved to a snorkeling spot while viewing sea turtles from the boat. We snorkeled for about an hour, but there weren't many fish. I had a decent time, but considering the cost, I feel that participating once is probably enough.
後輩の強い勧めで初めて参加しました。天候には恵まれラッキーでしたが、水温は意外と低く南の島の海といった感じではなかったです。サンドバーの水位は膝くらいまであり浮島といった感じではありませんでした。一緒に参加した妻が去年参加した時には腰くらいまで水位があったそうなので、まだ良い方なのかも。
ランチはBBQと聞いて想像するBBQではなく、ハンバーグを炭火で焼いてハンバーガーとして提供されました。味は美味しかったです。
サンドバーで1時間くらい遊んだあと,ウミガメがいるスポットを船上から眺めながらスノーケリングスポットへ移動し、1時間くらいスノーケリングをしましたが、魚はあまりいなかったです。それなりに楽しめましたが,料金に対しての満足度からすると1度参加すれば十分かなといった印象です。

I ended up going on a rainy day. Since it was high tide, I only got to see a slightly beautiful sea. While high tide can't be helped, I honestly wish they would cancel on rainy days. (If possible, I think they should offer discounts on days with high tide since they can know in advance.) It was just the sea, cold, the snorkeling was murky, and once it starts, you're stuck for about six hours. The staff were very nice, so I gave it two stars.

My husband and I enjoyed the evening of going out on a canoe and then getting in the water and holding on to a lighted surf board to observing the huge mantas come right up to you! The young crew members were very friendly and helpful. They did provide a wet suit top but I regretted not having my full wet suit. Although it is in the "warm" Hawaiian water- after 30 minutes the water does steal your bodies warmth. So that would be my only suggestion to the average tourist. Despite the cold near the end, it was such a unique encounter that the amazing mantas- we were thrilled!

I finally went on a long-awaited 5-night, 7-day trip to Hawaii with my friends! I participated in this tour after making a reservation from Japan. Our high-energy tour guide picked us up at the hotel, and we set off for our destination! Since it was early in the morning, everyone on the bus looked sleepy, and many were dozing off, but the tour guide's enthusiastic chatter lifted our spirits. I was a bit worried about the weather since it was raining and I thought we might not see any beautiful scenery.
Once we arrived, we received safety instructions and a tour briefing before setting off on the boat. Suddenly, the sun came out, and the clarity of the ocean deepened! The views of the mountains and the sea were truly breathtaking. When we reached our destination, the boat stopped, and we had some free time. We took photos, went snorkeling, and had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with other participants and the instructor. There were many people from both Japan and overseas, making it a very enjoyable time.
Afterward, we returned to the boat for lunch! We could customize our hamburgers with our favorite toppings, and the burgers we ate on the boat were delicious. After finishing our meal, we went for sea turtle watching! We moved to a spot with clear waters and were able to see them beautifully. We encountered a very friendly sea turtle that came close to the boat, poking its head out, and it was so cute!
Next, we headed to the snorkeling point. Snorkeling was different from what I imagined; while the ocean was beautiful, the fish were quite large. It wasn't like seeing the small fish like Nemo in Okinawa; instead, there were big fish swimming around. I participated for the whole day, and it was more fun than I expected, truly creating wonderful memories of Hawaii. Thank you!

Thank you for participating in the tour. Hawaii is now in winter, and it has been particularly rainy lately. Unfortunately, we instructors cannot change the weather... However, on this day, the waves were calm, and the visibility and sea conditions were excellent, allowing us to swim out to the outer area. We headed out from the keyhole and immediately encountered a large school of surgeonfish, a rare sighting of a school of bigeye trevally, and we were able to see two turtles, which I thought would bring you joy, so I feel a bit disappointed. Please come back to Hanauma Bay on a sunny day next time. I hope your wife can join us instead of just observing next time! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The weather was bad and cold. I didn't quite understand the appeal of the sandbar... However, the guide was very interesting and kindly taught us various things about Hawaii and offered warm tea. We also got to see sea turtles! ^_^
天気が悪く寒かったです。サンドバーの良さがイマイチ分からず、、、
ただガイドの方はとても面白くて、ハワイのイロイロな事を教えてくれたり暖かいお茶などを出してくれたり優しかった^_^ウミガメも見れました^_^
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I heard you were lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle. As for the weather... let's definitely aim for a comeback!!! I hope you are blessed with a beautiful blue sky next time! We look forward to seeing you again.
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
幸運のウミガメにも出会えたとの事。天候ばかりは、、、ぜひリベンジに!!!
次回はう〜んと青空に恵まれますように!!お待ちしてます。

We came to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Since it was the first time for my family in Hawaii, we chose popular activities. My husband and my family totaled 10 people. I was a bit anxious because my husband's family only speaks English, but there were many native speakers (since it was a Japanese company), and they provided explanations in English, which was great. My mother and mother-in-law, who didn't want to snorkel, were specially taken out on a boat and seemed to enjoy it. The service was very good, and the response from the time of booking was polite and quick, which made me feel at ease.
As for the sea, it was cloudy and occasionally rainy, which made it a bit cold. We did some snorkeling and saw a few fish and turtles, but compared to the beautiful seas I've seen in other countries, it was just okay. Also, there was a long time for taking photos, and my husband's family seemed to be wondering what we were doing during that time.
However, it was a very good experience with my family on our first trip to Hawaii, and I recommend the company for their prompt and flexible service. I just felt that the price was a bit too high, so I give it four stars.
私達のハネムーンでハワイに来ました。家族はハワイが初めてだったので、人気のアクティビティを選びました。夫、私の家族総勢10名。夫の家族は英語しか話せないので不安でしたが、(日本の会社だったので)ネイティブの方もたくさんいらっしゃり、説明も英語でして下さり良かったです。スノーケルをしたくない私の母と義理の母には、わざわざボートを出してくれて楽しめたそうです。サービスはとても良く、予約の時から対応も丁寧でレスポンスも早く安心出来ました。
肝心の海は、曇って雨も時々降ったりと寒かったです。スノーケルもして、少し魚や亀が見れましたが、海や魚の綺麗さは今まで見て来た違う国の海と比べるとまぁまぁ、という感じでした。
あと、写真を撮る時間?みたいなのが長くて夫の家族は、何をする時間??みたいな雰囲気でした。
でも、初めてのハワイで家族とならとてもいい経験だし、会社の方も迅速、フレシキブルな対応でオススメです。
ただ、ちょっと値段が高すぎるので☆四つです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Congratulations on your wedding. Thank you to both families for participating in the tour.
Please come back and visit us again. We are sincerely looking forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
ご結婚おめでとうございます。ご両家の皆様でツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
また皆様で遊びにいらして下さいね。その日を心よりお待ちしております。マハロ!

The lunch burger was very delicious! It was great to have a foreign staff member playing the guitar and singing while we were out on the ocean! Also, I was able to see a sea turtle while snorkeling. It was the first time I saw one up close! Yukiko, the Japanese female staff member, was friendly and wonderful, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the tour.
ランチのバーガーがとてもおいしかったです!海の上で外人のスタッフさんがギターを弾きながら歌を歌ってくれたのがとてもよかったです!
また、シュノーケルではウミガメを見ることができました。あんなに近くで見たのは初めてです!
女性の日本人スタッフのユキコさんも気さくで素敵な方で、ツアーをしっかり楽しむことができました。

It was very beautiful, and the staff were friendly, and I was able to see turtles, which was great, but I thought there were too many people! Because of that, everything took a long time. I was looking forward to snorkeling as well, but since everyone was in a small area, I kept bumping into different people, and the time was really short, leaving me feeling a bit unsatisfied.
とても綺麗で、スタッフの方も気さくでカメも見れたしよかったのですが、人が多すぎるかな〜と思いました!
なので、すべてに時間がかかる(o_o)
シュノーケリングも楽しみにしていましたが、狭い場所をみんなで見るのでいろんな人とぶつかったり、時間もすごく短く、物足りなさが残りました。

I participated in early November. I was worried about the cold for the night activity, but thanks to the wetsuit I rented, I didn't feel too cold underwater. If the waiting time underwater is long, it might be tough. Fortunately, we only waited about five minutes, and more than three mantas came to us, which made me forget the cold in amazement. The graceful mantas gliding right in front of me were breathtaking! The bright white bellies of the mantas illuminated by the lights stood out against the night sea, making it feel almost unreal. They kept coming until we got back on the surface, and I enjoyed it until the very end.
Once we got back on the boat, my body felt heavier than I expected, and the cold was tough. I'm glad I brought a thick towel and a windbreaker. Also, despite taking motion sickness medicine, I felt nauseous from the waves and couldn't drink cocoa.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, so I’ll give it a ☆-1. However, I was very satisfied with the main manta experience! I would definitely recommend it to my friends.
11月初旬に参加しました。夜のアクティビティのため寒さが心配でしたが、借りたウェットスーツのおかげか水中ではあまり寒さを感じませんでした。水中での待機時間が長いとこたえるかもしれません。幸いにも私たちの場合は5分ほど待っただけで3枚以上のマンタが来てくれたので、感動で寒さも吹き飛びました。目の前を優雅に翻るマンタは圧巻です!ライトに照らされたマンタの真っ白な腹部が夜の海に映え、現実のこととは思えないほどでした。水上に上がるまで繰り返しマンタが来てくれて、最後まで満喫できました。
船上に上がってからは思った以上に体が重く、寒さがこたえました。厚手のタオルとウインドブレーカーを持って行ってよかったです。また、酔い止め薬を飲んで行ったのにも関わらず波酔いをしたのか、胸がむかむかしてココアが飲めませんでした。
残念ながら夕日が見られなかったので、☆-1つ。でも、メインのマンタを満喫できたので大満足です!友達にも勧めたいと思います。

Thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour the other day! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. The turtle we saw at Keyhole was spotted by the husband of the newlyweds who joined us that day, right? The large white mouth moray eel was beautiful as well. I'm happy to hear you liked the photos! Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I hope to take you out beyond the white waves.
Thank you. Mahalo!!
先日はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました!!とても楽しんでいただけたようで、私も嬉しく思います。キーホールで見れた亀さんはその日にご一緒に参加されていた新婚さんの旦那様がたしか亀を見つけてくれた日でしたね。大きなホワイトマウスモオレイ(ウツボ)もきれいでした。お写真も喜んでいただけて良かったです!!ぜひまたハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。この次は白波を超えて沖の方までご案内できればと思っています。
ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
