Hawaii
The Catamaran was well maintained and clean. The food was excellent and drinks were excellent.
Aloha Joey,
Thank you for your kind words about our morning snorkel excursion aboard the Alii Nui. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and drink options and that our crew was so attentive to your group. We love knowing our guests get to see all that Molokini has to offer. We look forward to having you back out with us.
Mahalo nui loa & a hui hou kakou!
(Thank you very much & until we meet again!)
This trip to the sandbar was excellent. The company has the day very well planned for guests so that you don’t have to worry about anything other than relaxing.
Here are all the pros:
Pick up and drop off from Waikiki available
Lunch provided
Paddle board and kayak use included
Nice sun deck set up
Friendly staff
Great music for the trip to and from
Overall, excellent experience and I’m glad I didn’t miss it.
Mahalo for your review & sharing your experience. We really love your picture! - Team KBOS
Caprain Lauren was great. Informative, helpful,and professional. We saw pilot whales, sea caves, a turtle, and of course...the snorkeling.
Both spots were great and we had PLENTY of swim time.
Thanks for a great trip!
My family of 4 had the best time on this excursion in June. The crew was organized, friendly, and punctual. The boat was big and comfortable, we were able to stand while driving and the music selection was fun. We saw spinner dolphins and that was the highlight of our whole trip to Kauai. Another super fun part was going into a couple of caves, one of them all the way and turned around. We stood under a waterfall, took amazing pictures, the coast formation is incredible.
The one part that wasn’t great was the snorkeling, the spot didn’t have many fish or sea life. It was very deep and brown. We were very excited to snorkel off the Napoli Coast and it was a disappointment. But it’s likely just the way the coastline is now, sadly.
The sandwiches were great, good chips and drinks.
Overall, it was a very cool experience!
Awesome activity! This is my second time booking captain bob’s and I can’t tell you enough how great it is, you would need to experience it for yourself! From the start, the staff are very welcoming and keep you entertained throughout the entire experience. They take the time to go around to chat with everyone, making it a comfortable excursion. Although they don’t do anything specific for birthdays, they still made sure to sing her a happy birthday! Book it, you won’t regret it!
Service was superb, some mistakes happened but all corrected in few minutes and very grateful for the results. The ride was great our captain has a very unique talents knowing names by only observing his passengers makes the ride in the open sea more familial atmosphere, feeling safe plus the views its just amazing. Definitely this a must to do to blow away your personal stresses. Really the whole family enjoyed.
We really enjoyed your beautiful feedback her and your amazing pictures! Thank you so much for joining us and we are so happy you enjoyed your NaPali Coast tour with us!
Just considering the line of cars waiting from early morning and the queue for entry, you can already see the value of the tour. There’s no competition for reservations, making it easy to plan. Additionally, there are some insider tips, and the specialists share insights about the highlights and features of Hanauma Bay that we would never discover or experience on our own. For those who are familiar with Hanauma Bay and may visit multiple times in the future, I highly recommend experiencing this at least once. The ocean is truly wonderful, as are the two of you. Until we meet again, mahalo.
早朝から順番待ちの車の列と、入園待ちの列を考えたら、それだけでもツアーの価値が分かります。予約争奪戦も有りませんので、予定が立てやすい。更に裏ワザがちらほらあり、見どころスポやハナウマ湾の特徴などの、スペシャリストだから知る物を教えて下さり、私たちだけ頑張っても決して分からない、体験出来ない経験です。ハナウマ湾へ行きなれた、これからも複数回行くかも知れない人は、1度体験をオススメします。とても素晴らしい海とお二人です。またお会いする日までマハロ
What an amazing afternoon on the water! The captain Glenn had a great sense of humor and maneuvered the boat expertly, keeping everyone informed about what was coming next. Meanwhile Alec and Aaron did an amazing job of making everyone feel at home on the boat from great cocktails to great conversation! Would highly recommend!
I was able to see two types of dolphins and whales. The staff were very accommodating, and I truly enjoyed myself. I highly recommend it.
2種類のイルカとクジラにも会えました。
スタッフの対応もよく心から楽しめました。
オススメです。
Aloha! Thank you, Kuro, for participating in the Dolphin Junior High this time. The whale was probably a pilot whale. It’s quite rare to encounter a pilot whale, so you were very lucky! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. If there’s another opportunity, please join us again. All of us on the crew are looking forward to it.
Aloha! Kuro様 この度はイルカ中学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。くじらはおそらく、ゴンドウクジラかと思います。ゴンドウクジラに会えることはレアですのでとてもラッキーでしたね!楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しいです。また機会がありましたらぜひご参加ください。クルー一同、心よりお待ちしております。
beautiful day on the sand bar with great music and organization with tons of activities included (kayaking, paddle board, snorkeling). felt very safe even with two small kids in the open ocean. highly recommend for families!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
I enjoyed the beautiful sea at Sandbar. We also saw sea turtles while sailing, and we were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling as well. The hamburgers were delicious, and the weather was great.
サンドバーではキレイな海を楽しめました。また、航行中にウミガメも見れて、シュノーケリングでもウミガメを見ることができました。ハンバーガーも美味しく、天気にも恵まれてよかったです。
On the round-trip boat, there was a lively atmosphere with live music. While playing with the SPU and canoe, the staff amusingly helped pull us back when we were about to drift out of the safe zone, allowing us to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. During snorkeling, we were given food to attract the colorful tropical fish, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful waters of Hawaii.
往復の船の中では、雰囲気満点の生演奏。
SPUやカヌーで遊んでいて、風で安全区域から出そうになると係の方々が面白おかしく、引き戻し助けてくださり、安心して遊ぶ事ができました。
シュノーケリングでは、餌を持たせてもらい、色とりどりの南国の魚達が側に集まって、美しいハワイの海を楽しむことが出来ました。
We are very pleased to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
この度は安心してツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。ご参加ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
The staff were very friendly. The water clarity at the snorkeling spot wasn't as good as I had hoped, but I was able to encounter sea turtles and manta rays, which made it a lot of fun.
スタッフ皆様、大変親切でした。シュノーケリングスポットの海の透明度は期待したほどではなかったですが、ウミガメやマンタにも遭遇できて、大変楽しめました。
It was a day without a Japanese guide, but I still had a great time.
I got to see manta rays up close, which was amazing.
The service at Dolphin University in Honolulu, where there was a Japanese guide, was much better, so compared to that, it was a bit disappointing.
日本人ガイドがいない日でしたが、楽しめました
マンタがすごく近くで見れて最高
ホノルルの日本人ガイドがいたイルカ大学の方がサービスはかなり良かったので、そこと比べてしますと少し残念
Aloha! Maki,
Thank you for participating in Manta University this time. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience of swimming with the manta rays. It's great to know that you have also participated in Dolphin University! Thank you for that. As you mentioned, tours on Oahu always come with a Japanese-speaking guide, but for tours on the Big Island, it may vary depending on the day and the specific tour. If you have another opportunity to join a tour on the Big Island, please be sure to request a Japanese-speaking guide. We will definitely arrange one for you upon request. We sincerely look forward to your next participation, Maki. A hui hou and Mahalo nui!
Aloha! Maki様
この度はマンタ大学へご参加いただきありがとうございました。
マンタと泳ぐ体験を楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。イルカ大学にもご参加いただいたことがあるのですね!ありがとうございます。おっしゃる通り、オアフ島のツアーでは必ず日本語ガイドがつきますが、ハワイ島のツアーは日によってツアーによってはつかない場合がございます。またの機会にハワイ島のツアーに参加される時はぜひ日本語ガイドをリクエストして下さいね。ハワイ島のツアーはリクエストを頂ければ必ず日本語ガイドを手配いたします。Makiさんのまたのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。A hui hou and Mahalo nui!
Great experience family 1st time snorkeling guide funny and made you feel comfortable in the water
To pre-note, the waters are very wavey so be weary of ocean illness, but we luckily beat it and had a wonderful am
We were a bit nervous about being in the water at night, but not to worry as the guides make the whole evening experience comfortable!
What a wonderful afternoon, the water conditions in Kona are better than I have seen in many islands!
It was such a fabulous and unreal experience, the scared part left my body right when we started seeing the rays as they are so gentle!
right off waikiki beach, easy and quick fun snorkel and we saw a lot of fish!
Boat was in good shape, experienced and friendly crew who knew right where to go for all to have a wonderful time!
Amazing experience , great crew. We were able to see 3 turtles which make it so special the tour
Thank you for joining us! We hope to see you again.
It was a great tour early in the morning, so it wasn't hot at all. There were light snacks on the boat, and the spam onigiri was really delicious. The captain stayed close to me since I can't swim, which made me feel safe while I got to see beautiful fish and sea turtles! It was so much fun, and I'm really glad I participated!
朝早いツアーだったので暑くなくて最高でした。船の中には軽食もあってその中のスパムおにぎりがすごく美味しかった。泳げない私に、キャプテンが横に着いて泳いでくれてました!安心して綺麗な魚、ウミガメを見る事ができ感動しました!とても楽しかったです、参加してよかったです!
Aloha! Thank you for the beautiful photos and review of Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Please come and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
大変美しいお写真とレビューありがとうございます。またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ遊びにいらしてください。A hui hou!
I cannot express how grateful I am for Dan and this snorkel tour! My son is autistic and was struggling with understanding the equipment and started to panic. Dan very calmly and kindly took him under his wing. Before we knew it, my son was the leader of the pack! I even got a little seasick and Dan (without judgment) helped me back to the beach to rest. He also picked us up at our hotel and was so easy to talk to and open to any questions we had. I would 100% do this tour again! Thanks Dan!
Thanks, Beth! Hope we see you again.
You can enjoy a beautiful sea as far as the eye can see. Since life jackets are provided, both adults and children can play safely. The fact that boats and stand-up paddleboards (SUP) are available for free is also a great attraction.
見渡す限りのきれいな海が堪能できます。救命具をつけるので大人から子供まで安心して遊べます。ボートやSUPが無料で使えるのも魅力です。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time with three generations of your family. Please come back and visit us again. We look forward to seeing you.
From all the staff at KBOS
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。親子三代で楽しい時間を過ごされたとの事で大変嬉しく思っております。また是非皆様で遊びに来て下さいね。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I was able to encounter many sea turtles, and both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding were very satisfying experiences.
I was worried because there were many negative reviews, but the guide staff were kind and provided thorough explanations. I brought breakfast and water, but there were plenty of snacks and soft drinks available, so preparation was unnecessary! Although there are no lids, containers for storing belongings are provided.
Some areas of the sandbar can feel painful when barefoot, so it's good to have reef shoes. Also, since the UV rays are very strong, a rash guard is essential.
たくさんのウミガメに出会うことができ、シュノーケリングもサップもとても満足できる内容でした。
ネガティブなレビューも多かったので心配でしたが、ガイドスタッフは優しく、説明も丁寧でした。
朝ごはんと水を持参しましたが軽食とソフトドリンクがたくさん用意してあり準備は不要でした!
蓋はありませんが荷物を入れるコンテナも準備されています。
サンドバーは裸足だと痛く感じるところもあるためリーフシューズがあると良いです。また、紫外線がとても強いためラッシュガードも必須です。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Congratulations on your wedding.
I am truly happy that we were able to exceed your expectations and that you enjoyed the tour. Please come back and visit us again when you are in Hawaii.
Wishing you both everlasting happiness. 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。
良い意味で予想を裏切ってツアーを楽しんで頂けて本当に嬉しく思います。またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ遊びにいらしてください。
そしてお二人いつまでもお幸せに。Mahalo!
I had fun doing kayaking, SUP, and snorkeling. My niece was a little afraid but the lifeguard on duty was so nice. She even left her use the lifeguard belt thingy. Also the guy who was watching out for everyone who strayed too far past the yellow border for SUP was amazing. Sorry we couldn’t get the hang of it! Go earlier the better. The tide is lower. Consider this when thinking of what you’d like to do.
Mahalo for your review & sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
My husband and I enjoyed this tour…The sand bar is totally unique.. it’s very cool to step out of the boat in what should be deep water and find the water to only be knee deep! The lunch that was provided was delicious.. hamburgers hot off a grill with sides. Then off to a second location to snorkel with hot chocolate or coffee available after ! The guys were very nice.. friendly and fun!
Our first time snorkeling and it was the perfect experience. The crew was awesome - professional & fun. A Lifeguard was on board and kept a close eye on everyone. The turtles were so amazing! Highly recommend this tour!
It was the perfect day for a cruise. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was great. Lunch grilled on the boat was wonderful. I'm a very picky eater and loved the burgers. Snorkeling was the best. It was a beautiful adventure out of a movie swimming around the reef. The views were amazing. I can't say enough wonderful things about the captain and staff on this trip. I will do this again next trip!
