Hawaii
It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour! The staff, who are fluent in both English and Japanese, provided thorough guidance. I recommend checking the dates and times for low tide before making a reservation. (As for the weather on the day, we can only leave it to luck...) On the day of the activities, you can freely choose from options like SUP, inflatable rings, and snorkeling, so I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. If you're going to Waikiki, definitely go for it! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
とても楽しく充実したツアーでした!
英語・日本語の出来るスタッフの方が、丁寧に案内をしてくださいます。
予約される際には、干潮になる日にちや時間帯を調べてから、日程を検討されることをおすすめします。
(当日の天気については、運を天に任せるしかないのですが…)
当日のアクティビティについては、SUPや浮き輪、シュノーケリング等から自由に選べるので、体力のない方でも楽しめると思います。
ワイキキに行かれる方はぜひ!
素晴らしい体験をありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are all very pleased that you took the time to write such a review. We hope you will join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. We look forward to that day with all our hearts. A Hui Hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。 この度はツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
またこのようなレビューを書いていただきましたことスタッフ一同大変嬉しく思っております。
次回またハワイにお越しの際にもまたお越しいただけるとうれしいです。その日を心よりお待ちしております。A Hui Hou!
I was a bit unsure about swimming since it was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to learn without any problems. There was a large moray eel, and the underwater world was a wonderful experience. I was so moved and swam with enthusiasm, and just when I started to feel a bit tired, the tour wrapped up nicely. I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. The guide was kind and relaxed, not pushing us to be overly energetic, which made for a pleasant experience. Thank you very much.
初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎもそんなに自信ない感じでしたが、問題なく習得できました。大きなウツボもいて、初めての海の中の世界は素晴らしい体験でした。感動して夢中で泳いで、少し疲れてきたかな?と気づいたころに丁度一周がおわり、そんなに体力ない方でも楽しめると思います。ガイドさんも、無理にテンション上げさせる感じでなく、親切でリラックスした感じの方で気持ちよく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。
We were supposed to gather at 7:30, but boarding and departure were around 8:00. Kanako, the Japanese staff member, was very attentive and made us feel at ease throughout the tour. The wind was strong, so our snorkeling time at Molokini Island was planned for one hour, but we wrapped it up in about 30 minutes and moved to the next point at Coral Gardens. We encountered a pod of dolphins around Molokini Island, which was amazing! Coral Gardens had more coral and fish than I imagined, and we even saw a sea turtle. The breakfast service and lunch (hamburger) were delicious as well.
7時半集合でしたが、乗船&出港は8時頃だったでしょうか。
日本人スタッフのカナさんが、とてもきめ細やかに声をかけてくれて終始安心してツアーに参加できました。
風が強くてモロキニ島ではシュノーケル1時間の予定だったそうですが、30分程度で切り上げて次のコーラルガーデンのポイントへ移動。
モロキニ島周辺でイルカの群れに遭遇して感動(^_^)
コーラルガーデンは想像以上に珊瑚やお魚が多くて、ウミガメにも逢えました。
朝食サービス、昼食のランチ(ハンバーガー)も美味しかったです。
Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.
This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!
NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
One of the best things we did during our honeymoon! Fantastic team, boat and the adventure!
This was great afternoon
We were a picked up from our accommodation and bought the full packages
There was a party atmosphere with the band playing on the boat on the way there and back.
The staff were friendly, helpful and relaxed but still professional
The activities were good fun.
Great afternoon, Hightly recommend.

The sunset viewed from the boat and the manta rays tumbling far exceeded my expectations!!! I was very satisfied with the tour content!! However, the water temperature was surprisingly low, so I was freezing while watching the manta rays... You can rent a wetsuit for $10, but it only goes up to the knees, so it's still cold in the end. I still recommend renting a wetsuit. I didn't rent one, so I was cold the whole time. The hot chocolate after returning to the boat was soothing. Also, the toilet on the boat was out of order, so I couldn't use it. I was in pain wanting to go to the bathroom after snorkeling. It would have been perfect if the toilet had been fixed!!!!
船から見る夕日と予想を遥かに超えるマンタのタンブリング!!!ツアーの内容はとても満足です!!
ただ、意外と水温が低かったためマンタを見ながら凍えていました。。。10ドルでウェットスーツを借りることができますが、そのウェットスーツも膝上までしかないので結局寒いです。それでもウェットスーツを借りることをおすすめします。私は借りなかったのでずっと寒かったです。船に戻った後のホットチョコレートは体に沁みました。また、船に設置されているトイレが故障中のため使えず。シュノーケルが終わったあとずっとトイレに行きたくて辛かったです。トイレが直っていれば完璧でした!!!!
Aloha MM,
Thank you for participating in the Manta University. We appreciate your comment recommending wetsuits. As you pointed out, the sea temperature in Hawaii can be surprisingly low, especially for tours in the evening, so it might get chilly.
Regarding the restrooms, I have communicated with the staff in Kona on the Big Island to address this issue. We hope you will join us again, prepared for the cold. We look forward to seeing you!
Mahalo!
Aloha MM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。
ウエットスーツを勧めていただくコメントをしてくださりありがとうございました。ご指摘いただきました通りハワイの海水温は意外と低いので特に夕方以降のツアーは冷えやすいかもしれません。
お手洗いにつきましては、ハワイ島コナのスタッフへ連絡し直すように伝えました。
ぜひまた、防寒対策をしてご参加いただきたく思います。お待ちしております。
Mahalo!
The snorkeling was murky, possibly because the sea was shallow, and I couldn't see any fish except where the staff was scattering food. The coral was completely white, and I could hardly see anything. After snorkeling, I got to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and the staff taught me how to ride it, which was a lot of fun.
シュノーケリングは海が浅瀬のためか濁っていて、スタッフが餌を撒いているところ以外魚も見えず、珊瑚は真っ白でほとんど何も見えなかったです。
シュノーケリングの後supが使えて初めての経験でスタッフが乗り方を教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's tour.
We sincerely apologize for the low visibility during snorkeling, which did not meet your expectations. We are grateful for the two-star rating despite not being able to fulfill your wishes.
We are always striving to improve with our staff to ensure that every customer has a memorable experience, and we would be delighted if you could join us again on your next opportunity. We look forward to the day when you can experience a different sandbar tour.
Thank you for your valuable time and feedback.
この度はキャプテンブルースのツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
シュノーケリングでは海の透明度が低くご期待に沿えず大変申し訳ございませんでした。
ご希望に添えなかったにもかかわらず、星2つを頂戴しありがたく存じます。
どのような状況でもお客様の心に残るご体験をしていただけるよう、常にスタッフと改善に努めておりますので、是非次の機会にもご参加いただけますと幸いです。
また違うサンドバーツアーをご体験いただける日を、スタッフ一同心からお待ちしております。
貴重なお時間とご意見をいただき感謝申し上げます。
The Pure Land existed. While listening to a ukulele performance, we took a boat to a diving spot, dove in a place with beautiful coral reefs and many fish, and enjoyed canoeing. I was able to create unforgettable memories.
極楽浄土が存在しました。ウクレレの演奏を聴きながら、ダイビングスポットまで船で行き、綺麗なサンゴ礁と魚がたくさんいるところでダイビングし、カヌーにのって楽しみました。忘れられない思い出をつくることができました。
We are very pleased that you enjoyed the tour and that it became one of your unforgettable memories. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all of us at KBOS.
ツアーを楽しんで頂き、何よりも忘れられない思い出の1つになった事を大変嬉しく思います。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。KBOS スタッフ一同
Instructor Dan pulled me along, even though I'm not a good swimmer. I felt very safe and was able to go far out, and I got to see sea turtles up close. Since it was a small group, I could take my time watching the sea turtles, and it was the first time I felt so relaxed while snorkeling. It truly was the best memory!
インストラクターのDANさんが
カナヅチの私を引っ張ってくれ
とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。
少人数なので
海ガメをゆっくり見ることが出来たし
あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは
初めてです。
本当に最高の思い出です!
A must do experience…. We arraigned for the shuttle to pick us up at our hotel which I highly recommend to add that to package because you are tired after the experience…. The staff was awesome and went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The musicians were fantastic, beautiful voices and very funny. I highly recommend the higher package that includes the banana boat ride…. It’s so worth it
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
I love using this cruise , I love how they take care of us . The captain told us about the island history, I love the stories he told us as we were getting closer to The Valley . I always get impressed by the beauty of the Napali coast . I have never been to such a beautiful view . I plan on going back to this island in the summer . The snorkeling was amazing!!! I got to swim next to turtle and fishes . The food was good , never disappoints to use this app this cruise . It’s perfect for families, small kids, groups or even solo trips
This was my fourth time with this cruise and it did not disappoint me at all . My first time was by myself but I had to bring my family so they could experience the breathing views of Napali coast . This time I brought my parents specially to celebrate my moms birthday. She was scare at first but as we started seeing the valleys and the blue water she enjoy to the point to even cry to see such a beautiful place . My dad was so exited he jump for a swim . I love the part when we got so close to the waterfall
The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.
The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.
Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!
Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
When I arrived at the ferry boarding area, I thought, "Huh? It's just a regular sea," but as we went out to the open water on the ferry, it was truly a heavenly sea. It was shallow enough to stand even that far out, and the water was clear—such a new experience!
フェリー乗る場所に着いた時は、え?普通の海じゃんと思ったが、フェリーで沖まで行くとそこにはまさしく天国の海が。
あんな沖なのに立てるぐらいの浅さで水も透明、新体験でした!
Aloha!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. The Paradise of the Sea, which suddenly spreads about 15 minutes offshore from the harbor, is such a mysterious place. It is a special area protected by the barrier reef, so the waves are calm, allowing for safe enjoyment of activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. This mystical place changes its appearance every day depending on the time of day, tides, and weather, so we invite you to come back and experience a different atmosphere of the Paradise of the Sea on another occasion. Mahalo!
アロハ!
この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。港から15分ほどの沖合に突然広がる天国の海、とても不思議な場所ですよね。バリアリーフに守られている湾内ですので波も穏やかでシュノーケリングやSUPなども安全に楽しめる特別なエリアです。時間帯や潮の満ち引き、天候によって毎日表情を変える神秘的な場所ですので、またの機会に違った雰囲気の天国の海を体験しにお越しくださいませ。Mahalo!
There were several activity companies for the sandbar, so I carefully chose this one. The key points were the long duration of the stay and the appealing hamburger lunch on the boat. The weather was great, and my excitement was high from the start. The female guide was very experienced, and it was nice that the group was divided into Japanese and English speakers. She took a lot of photos, and since we could practice snorkeling at the sandbar, my friends who were trying it for the first time seemed to enjoy it without any confusion. Everything was perfect until the end, and I can only say that I was glad to participate.
This trip to Hawaii only had this water activity planned, so it became a wonderful memory.
サンドバーへのアクティビティの会社はいくつもあったのでかなり吟味してここに決めました。ポイントは滞在時間が長い事、船上でのハンバーガーランチが魅力的だった事です。お天気も良くて始まりからテンションが上がりました。ガイドの女性もとても慣れていらして日本語と英語でグループ分けされていたのも良かったです。写真も沢山撮ってくれてサンドバーでシュノーケルの練習が出来たので初めての友人もシュノーケリングに戸惑う事なくとても楽しめたようです。最後まで完璧で参加して良かったの言葉しか出ませんでした。
今回のハワイは海遊びをこれしか予定していなかったのでとても良い思い出になりました。
The highlight of this trip was the snorkeling tour at Heaven's Sea, and we were fortunate with the weather, making it a lot of fun. Although there was only one stand-up paddleboard for the group, everyone took turns and enjoyed it thoroughly. The snorkeling was amazing; we could see turtles clearly and even swim alongside them, which was thrilling. The guide was also entertaining, making this tour highly recommended.
今回の旅行の1番の楽しみの天国の海シュノーケリングツアー、天候にも恵まれとても楽しかったです。サップは、グループにひとつということでしたが、参加者の皆さんで順番に使い満喫できました。シュノーケリングは、亀もバッチリ見え一緒に泳ぐことができ感激でした。ガイドさんも面白くおすすめのツアーです。
Aloha!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We also appreciate you sharing those wonderful photos! The heart-shaped reef looks very clear and beautiful! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed encounters with sea turtles, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding.
We all sincerely look forward to your next visit. Mahalo!

この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。素敵なお写真もご共有いただきありがとうございます!ハートリーフ、とてもはっきりと綺麗に写っていますね!ウミガメとの遭遇やシュノーケリング、SUPも楽しんでいただけたようでとても嬉しく思っております。
またの機会にぜひ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。Mahalo!
It was a day with a few clouds. The captain and crew were very accommodating, and they communicated in English with smiles, which eased my worries and made it feel like we understood each other. The visibility underwater was poor, so I couldn't see much. After getting back on the boat, the cold was incredibly intense, so I recommend that participants bring a dry T-shirt or a dry jacket.
少し雲がある日でした。
キャプテン クルーの対応は とても

船に上がってからな 寒さは 半端なく寒かったので 参加される方は 乾いたTシャツか乾いた上着を 持って行かれる事を お勧め致します
Aloha!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We truly appreciate your kind words about the captain and crew's service. The clarity of the snorkeling can be affected by the weather conditions from the previous day, so we would be delighted if you could try snorkeling in clearer waters on your next opportunity. It often feels a bit chilly after coming out of the water, so I think it would be reassuring to bring a dry jacket as you recommended. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Hawaii and hope you will join us again. Mahalo!
アロハ!
この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。キャプテン・クルーの対応をお褒めいただき誠にありがとうございます。シュノーケリングの透明度は前の日の天候等によって左右されることがありますので、ぜひまたの機会に透明度の高い海中でのシュノーケリングをお試しいただけたら嬉しく思います。海から上がった後は肌寒く感じることが多いですので、お勧めいただいた様に乾いた上着をお持ちいただければ安心かと思います。次回ハワイにお越しの際にまたご参加いただけますことを心よりお待ち申し上げております。Mahalo!
This is my second time participating after five years. My daughter said she wanted to shop in Kailua and at Kailua Beach, so I signed up. However, after just a little over an hour, she said, "I'm not really in the mood for the beach today..." So we moved to Kailua Town earlier, which gave us about four hours of shopping time. We leisurely explored Target, Whole Foods, Longs Drugs, Down to Earth, and had a fulfilling time. I've been to various beaches in Hawaii, but Kailua Beach is always pleasant no matter when I visit.
5年振り2回目の参加です。
カイルアビーチとカイルアでのお買い物をしたい!と娘が言うので申し込みましたが、なんと娘がたった1時間ちょっとで「今日はあんまりビーチの気分じゃないや…」と言い出し、カイルアタウンへの移動を早めて頂き、およそ四時間のショッピングタイムになりました。
ターゲット、ホールフーズ、ロングスドラッグス、ダウントゥーアース等をノンビリ見て周り、充実した時間となりました。
ハワイのビーチは、あちこち行っていますが、カイルアビーチはいつ来ても心地よいです。
Dear k50,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Kailua offers a relaxed atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, allowing you to enjoy both the beach and the town at your leisure. We hope you had a wonderful time.
When you visit Hawaii again, please come and see us. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you back.
Thank you.

In the early morning, there are courses available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and I chose the morning to head to "Kaneohe"! The ocean was even more beautiful than I imagined, and there was plenty of time to play and enjoy the sea. The guide informed us that there’s a high chance of encountering "honu" (sea turtles), and while looking at the surface of the water, everyone suddenly pointed at the sea (laughs). This time, I participated with my family, and we returned feeling warm and happy. I was a bit concerned about the restroom situation, but overall, it was a lot of fun!
早朝、午前、午後とコースがある中で、午前を選択して、いざ、「カネオヘ」へ!想像以上に海はきれいで、遊ぶ時間もたっぷりあり、海を満喫できます。高確率で「ホヌ」に出会えるとガイドさんに教えていただき、水面を見ているとみんながいっせいに海を指さしていました(笑)今回は、家族で参加しましたが、ほっこりして帰ってきました。少しトイレ事情が悪いのが気になりますが、かなり楽しめますよ!
Aloha!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the sandbar and the encounter with the honu (sea turtles). Regarding the restrooms, I believe you are referring to the public toilets at the harbor, and unfortunately, as you mentioned, the facilities are not well-equipped. We will continue to encourage our guests to use the boat's restrooms to ensure a comfortable experience. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you and your family again on your next visit. Mahalo!

この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。サンドバーの美しさやホヌとの遭遇をお楽しみいただけたようでとても嬉しく思っております。お手洗いに関しましては、港の公衆トイレのことかと存じますが、おっしゃいます通り残念ながら設備が整っていない状況です。お客様にはなるべくボートのお手洗いを利用していただくなどのお声がけを行い、快適に過ごしていただけるよう努力を重ねて参ります。貴重なご意見をいただきありがとうございました。
またの機会にご家族皆様で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。Mahalo!
The staff were the best! They were professional & knowledgeable. All of my questions were answered thoroughly. It was a memorable experience just being in this scenic, beautiful area. Even the BBQ was excellent. When I come back, I will do it all over again. NOTE: the bus driver, Richard, who shuttled us, kept us entertained.
This was so much fun! All of the crew were so nice and made sure everyone was having a great time. Definitely get the bumper tube rides and take some time to snorkel and enjoy the water. It was the prefect way to start our day.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
We attended on Monday October 16. The 4 guys did such a fantastic job making it fun for all of us. It was a unique and exciting experience. I can not say enough good things about it. I highly recommend it and would even go so far as to say it is a MUST DO on the Big Island!!
Aloha Mary! We are so happy that you enjoyed our Manta Ray tour. Thank you so much for joining us. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo!
Four years ago, my husband and I had the opportunity to experience this. We had such a wonderful time that this time, I was very happy to participate in the tour with our family of five, and it was incredibly fun. The instructor was very supportive of our grandchildren, which we really appreciated. This is definitely a tour we want to go on whenever we come to Hawaii. Thank you very much.
今回、私達は夫婦は四年前に体験させて頂いております。とっても楽しい時間を過ごしましたので

About ten years ago, I visited Kauai and, since seeing the view from the Kalalau Lookout, I had always wanted to see the Na Pali Coast from a boat someday. This time, I decided to go to Hawaii and Kauai, and I signed up for this tour in Japan.
I think it was a great experience. Being able to see the beauty of the Na Pali Coast with my own eyes was invaluable. If possible, I would have liked to see a bit further along the coast. I also enjoyed the beautiful long beaches of Barking Sands Beach and Polihale State Park on the way to the Na Pali Coast. The day before, I drove to a bit beyond Barking Sands Beach to an unpaved area, but I thought it wouldn't be easy to reach Polihale.
I'm not good at snorkeling, so I didn't snorkel off the coast of Niihau, but I wish I had at least swum a little with fins. There were 33 participants that day, and I was the only Japanese person. Everyone else was snorkeling. The scenery of Niihau also left an impression on me.
The captain explained things well. I didn't understand much of the explanations in English, though. It was a tour where I truly felt the scale and greatness of nature at the Na Pali Coast. It left a strong impression on me.
Before going, I was concerned about driving there, but I am grateful that I was able to go safely. I realized once again that it's important to plan and prepare thoroughly in advance. I thank the captain and the two crew members.
10年くらい前にカイアウ島へ行ったことがあり、カララウ展望台からの景色を見たときから、ナ・パリ・コーストをいつか船上から是非見てみたいと思っていました。今回、思い切ってハワイ島、カウアイ島へ行くことにし、日本でこのツアーに参加申し込みをしていました。
実際に行って、大変良かったと思います。ナ・パリ・コーストの美しさを実際に自分の目で見れたことは何にも代えがたいです。できれば、コーストのもう少し先まで見てみたいと思いました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストへ行くまでのバーキングサンズビーチ、ポリハレ州立公園のきれいな長いビーチも良かったと思います。前日にバーキングサンズビーチの少し先あたりの舗装されていないところまで車で行きましたが、ポリハレまで行くのは容易でないと思っていました。
シュノーケリングは不得手で、ニイハウ島沖でのシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、フィンをつけて少し泳ぐだけでもすればよかったと思っています。当日は33名の参加で、日本人は私だけでした。他の人は皆、シュノーケリングをしていました。ニイハウ島の景色も印象に残りました。
キャプテンもよく説明されていました。英語での説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが。
ナ・パリ・コーストのスケールの大きさ、自然の偉大さを実感したツアーでした。とても印象に残ります。
行く前は現地での車の運転等、気にしていましたが、無事、行くことができて有難く思っています。事前の計画、準備をしっかりしておくことが大事だとあらためて思いました。キャプテン、2人のクルーに感謝します。
The snorkeling lasted just under an hour, but it was quite exhausting. For me, it was the right amount of time. I was also able to enjoy seeing the sea turtles. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. With unlimited soft drinks, I didn't have to worry about hydration. A larger towel is definitely a must.
シュノーケルは1時間弱でしたがかなり体力消耗しました 私的には適量な時間でした
ウミガメにもあえて満喫できました
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくいただきました
ソフトドリンクが飲み放題なので水分補給は心配なし
大きめのタオルは必須ですね
Best time ever. The crew are all wonderful. The crew made the trip fun and educational. Lots of marine life.
Aloha Rhonda,
Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review! We are so happy that you could have a wonderful mother daughter experience with us. We hope you can join us for more ocean adventures in the future. Maybe a Manta Ray tour?

It was great until we got on the boat, but the waves were so strong that I got seasick and couldn't enjoy it at all. It seems that Japanese people are gathered on the second floor of the boat, but it shakes a lot up there. I definitely think that anyone who gets motion sickness should avoid this. During our time, we couldn't even see any dolphins. Honestly, I felt like I wanted at least a little bit of my money back.
船に乗るまでは良かったですが、波がすごくて船酔いして全く楽しめませんでした。
日本人は船の2階に集めらるみたいですが、2階がすごく揺れます。少しでも乗り物酔いする方は絶対にやめておいたほうがよいと思います。
私達の時はイルカも見れませんでした。ほんと、少しでいいからお金返してほしい気持ちでした。
Dear Beginner Traveler,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We also appreciate your valuable feedback amidst your busy schedule.
We apologize for any discomfort caused by the slightly strong winds and waves during your experience. The sea conditions on the day you participated were two days after we had to cancel the tour on October 18 due to seasonal strong winds and high waves. While there were no issues with the boat's departure or the tour itself, we have confirmed that some participants experienced seasickness due to the high swells.
It is unfortunate that, despite your anticipation, this experience turned into a challenging memory.
The enjoyment of the tour can be greatly affected by sea conditions. While it may have been a tough experience, we hope that if you have the opportunity to try again, we would be more than happy to support you to the best of our ability. Please do reach out to us then.
Take care.
Mahalo!

この度はイルカ大学へ参加いただきありがとうございました。また、お忙しい中貴重なコメントを頂き重ねて感謝申し上げます。
風や波がやや強めの海のコンディションの中不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ありませんでした。
ご参加いただいた日の海のコンディションは季節特有の強風と高波のためにツアーの催行を中止した10/18の二日後でした。船の出航やツアーの催行に問題はなかったものの、まだ波のうねりが高かったために船酔いされてしまった方が何組かいらっしゃったと確認しております。
自然が相手のツアーとはいえ、楽しみにご参加いただいたにも関わらず辛い思い出となってしまい残念です。
海のコンディションによってツアーの楽しさが左右されます。辛かったという思い出となってしまっているかもしれませんが、これに懲りずもし再挑戦する機会がありましたら全力でサポートさせていただきたく思います。その時はぜひご一報ください。
どうかご自愛くださいませ。

I visited Kailua Beach for the first time. I was truly impressed by its beauty, which is indeed ranked number one in the United States. I recommend renting a bike (beach cruiser) as an option to extend your trip to Lanikai Beach, which is right next to Kailua Beach. Lanikai Beach had mostly white visitors, giving me a sense of being abroad. Since I had some extra time, I rode my bike to downtown and enjoyed exploring like a local. The locals weren't wearing masks either. If you rent a bike, please be mindful of traffic rules and etiquette.
初めてカイルアビーチに行ってみました。
確かに全米1位の綺麗さに感動しました。
お薦めはカイルアビーチの隣にあるラニカイビーチまで自転車(ビーチクルーザー)をオプションで借りて足を伸ばすプランです。
ラニカイビーチはほとんど白人のみで、外国に来た感も味わえました。
時間が余ったので、ダウンタウンへ自転車で、気分はロコで散策していました。
地元の良方々もマスクはされていません。
