Hawaii
This was a great experience, being able to snorkel and see the sandbar! Highly recommend! Everyone is very informative
Aloha Ellen! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review. We really appreciate that. So stoked to hear you had an awesome kayaking and snorkeling experience with us and that our staff gave you good info. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
The crew was amazing and so helpful! KBOS seems to have an area all to themselves, so it felt like we were on a private island. There are opportunities to do a lot of activities with plenty of time so you don’t ever feel rushed.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
We had a great time on this trip!
It was very relaxing and fun! The stuff took care of us and made sure we were safe. We snorkeled, saw some fish, we did kayaking and paddle boarding and relaxed on a floating island with chairs. Lunch was also great! Music was so beautiful and fun! And the stuff took awesome photos of us! Thank you!
Would do this again!
Mahalo for your review and the beautiful pictures! We are so glad to know that you had a great time! - Team KBOS
Saw lots of Hawaiian state fishies and turtles as well! great easy tour and quick for a piece of the day
The boat ride was an amazing experience:) I didn’t know the only way to experience the Napali coast was by boat or helicopter. The views were magical and we got to take a lot of pictures of the sea cliffs up close. The whole experience had a magical few to it. We were able to snorkel and see turtles and many different types of fish. I was nervous about snorkeling but it turned out fine as long as you wear a yellow belt and don’t get caught in the current. I was able to take a bunch of pictures of the coastline, I also felt a spiritual energy. The guides were very informative about the Hawaiian spiritual practices and the different types of burials that were preformed in that region. I think you define get your money’s worth by going on this cruise. Each view is spectacular and picturesque. Also the lunch provided was flavorful and the chips were the best.
The pickup was smooth, and there was a Japanese guide, which was great. The light snack service on the boat was also very satisfying. Once we arrived at the sandbar, we split into groups for those who wanted to play first and those who wanted to snorkel. We were allowed to snorkel to our heart's content. We encountered many sea turtles and saw a lot of colorful tropical fish, which was wonderful.
After snorkeling, there were rentals for SUP and floaties, allowing us to play on the sandbar. The strong winds made it a bit challenging as we were easily swept away, but there was also a fun way to enjoy being carried by the wind.
This is not the provider's fault at all, but there was someone in our group who had poor snorkeling manners, splashing water everywhere, and when I accidentally got too close, they would hit or kick me. Even when staff warned them while they were on the SUP, they completely ignored it and drifted to places they shouldn't have gone, which was unpleasant. Therefore, I will rate this experience as "good."
ピックアップもスムーズで日本語のガイドもあり、船上での軽食サービスも大変満足いくものでした。
サンドバーについたら先に遊ぶ組と先にシュノーケル組に分かれるのですが、シュノーケルは満足いくまでやらせてもらえます。ウミガメにもたくさん出会えたし、カラフルな熱帯魚もたくさんいてとても良かったです。
シュノーケルを終えるとSUPや浮き輪などの貸し出しがあり、サンドバー上で遊べます。風が強くて流されやすかったのが少し大変でしたが風上からわざと流される楽しみ方もあります。
これは全く体験提供者の責任ではないのですが、一緒のグループになった人の中にシュノーケル中のマナーが悪くバシャバシャと水しぶきをたてたり、うっかり近づくと叩かれる・蹴られる、SUPに乗ってはスタッフに注意されても一切耳を貸さずに行ってはいけないところまで流れていくという人がいたのが不快だったので評価は「よかった」にさせていただきます。
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you encountered many sea turtles and fish while snorkeling. We also sincerely appreciate your valuable feedback. We will share your comments internally and ensure that our staff will encourage all participants to adhere to the rules and manners. We would be grateful if you could join us again for the Heavenly Ocean Tour in the future. Mahalo!
キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。シュノーケルでは沢山のウミガメとお魚に出会われたこと大変嬉しく思います。また貴重なご意見をいただき誠にありがとうございます。いただきました内容は社内で共有させていただき参加者の皆様にルール・マナーを守っていただけるようにスタッフ一同対応してまいります。また機会がございましたら天国の海ツアーにご参加いただけましたら幸いです。Mahalo!
Such an awesome experience with great guides and entertainment.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
Even as someone approaching their sixties, I was able to enjoy the bumper tubes and banana boat. The sea was beautiful, and I had a great experience.
還暦近くの私でも、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートは楽しめました。
海もきれいで、いい体験をさせていただきました。
Thank you for participating in the tour. We look forward to your next visit.
From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへご参加頂きありがとうございました。またのご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
I participated with my elderly mother. She can't swim, so I thought she would just splash around in the water up to her knees, but when we arrived, the water was over her waist. I wondered if she would be okay, but she put on a life jacket, held onto a kickboard, and with the help of a Japanese staff member, she was taken to the snorkeling spot where she was able to see sea turtles underwater!
Later, while I was doing SUP, she said she wanted to try it too. Although she lost her balance and fell into the sea, she wasn't scared because she was wearing a life jacket. It was her first time falling in at 76 years old. Looking at the photos, she has such a joyful smile, and I truly felt it was worth bringing her along. The staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you very much!
高齢の母を連れて参加しました。
母は泳げないので、膝くらいまでの海でパシャパシャやるくらいのつもりでいましたが、いざ着いてみると水は腰以上。
大丈夫かな?と思いましたがライフジャケットを着て、ビート板みたいなのに掴まり、日本語スタッフの方に付いてもらってシュノーケリングスポットまで連れて行ってもらい、水中の海ガメまで見ることができました!
その後も私がSUPをやっていたら、それやりたい!と言って挑戦。バランス崩して海に落ちるも、ライフジャケットを着ていたので怖くなかったそうです。76歳初ドボンです。
写真を見るととても楽しそうな笑顔で、本当に連れて行ってよかったと思いました。親切なスタッフたち様々です(^^)ありがとうございました。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Your post and the photos brought to mind the joyful image of your mother, which warmed my heart. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. At 76 years old, she is still quite young! Please continue to go out together with your mother.
We also hope to see you again at this Paradise of the Sea. Our staff, along with the sea turtles, will be waiting for that day. Mahalo!
この度はキャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。この書き込みとお写真でお母様のはしゃいでいらっしゃる姿が目に浮かんでほっこりしました。楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。76歳なんてまだまだお若いです!これからもまたお母様とご一緒にお出かけくださいね。
そしてこの天国の海にもまたぜひお越しください。その日をウミガメとともにスタッフ一同お待ちしております。マハロ!
The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.
日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。
It was so much fun to see wild sea turtles and fish up close! I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but the instructor was kind and taught me everything step by step, making it a very enjoyable memory!
野生のウミガメやお魚達を間近で見れたのがとても楽しかったです!
初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが、インストラクターの方が優しく1から丁寧に教えてくださったので、とても楽しい思い出になりました!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. I hope this encourages you to explore various underwater worlds. Please come back to Paradise Ocean to meet the sea turtles again. We look forward to that day. Mahalo!
この度はキャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。初シュノーケルを楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。これをきっかけに色々な海の中を楽しんで頂けると嬉しいです。ぜひまたウミガメたちに会いに天国の海に遊びにいらして下さい。その日を楽しみにお待ちしております。マハロ!
Great hosts and were really great about making sure that we could all see sea turtles :)
Mahalo for joining us. Please come again.
Unbelievable view of the island from where we were. Amazing experience to say the least.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It was an unforgettable and amazing experience to see the volcano's crater and valleys up close! The knowledgeable pilot (Kai) who spoke Japanese provided a very clear guide, which made it even more enjoyable. This is definitely a tour you should join!
火山の火口や谷の中を間近で見ることができて、忘れられない素晴らしい体験でした!
日本語の話せる知識豊富なパイロット(カイさん)のガイドも、とてもわかりやすく、より一層楽しめました。
絶対に参加した方がいいツアーです!
The staffs are very nice and professional. I booked the snorkeling + transportation package.
The driver Kaplan is so nice, he will introduce many hidden gem restaurants in Honolulu, and I tried the Yakitori restaurant right away after I finished the tour, the food is so good! Thanks to Kaplan.
For snorkeling, the staff will guide you when you are snorkeling all the time, for them safety is the priority. Also, they will provide some rice balls, energy bars, snacks, hot coffee, and fruits in the boat. You can always go by boat when you are tired.
Strongly recommendended!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your experience with the Capt. Bruce tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!
Let's start with the boat - Fabulous & modern, a vessel to be admired. The captain and crew - freaking amazing, patient, kind, informative, went above and beyond. Took us right out to the sea turtles. It was a perfect day with perfect hosts and an experience we will never forget.
From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.
The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.
The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.
Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.
In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!
Mahalo for your great review!
It was unfortunately a cloudy day.
The water was warmer.
I think the limited time and location for snorkeling is for safety reasons, but I wish I could have enjoyed it a bit more.
I was able to see a large turtle resting among the coral.
I want to visit this place again on a sunny day.
あいにくの曇り空でした。
水中の方が温かかったです。
スノーケリングの時間場所が限られてるのは安全の為だとは思いますが、もうすこし楽しみたかったです。
珊瑚の中で休憩している大きな亀さんも眺める事ができました。
次は晴天の時に行きたい場所です。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heaven on Earth Tour. Despite the unfortunate cloudy weather, it was very lucky to encounter a large turtle. They say that meeting a turtle brings happy events, right? We hope that your next visit to Heaven on Earth will be blessed with clear skies! We look forward to your next participation.
この度はキャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。あいにくの曇り空のなかでも大きな亀さんに出会えたのはとってもラッキーでしたね。亀さんと出会えるとハッピーな出来事をやってくるとか? ぜひ今度の天国の海は晴天に恵まれますように!次回のご参加お待ちしております。
The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly! Lunch was delicious. Fun to meet other people from all over.
We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.
夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。
The crew was excellent! All were very personable, professional, looking out for everyone's safety and comfort. All very knowledgeable about the area, and seemed to love what they do which always makes for an excellent adventure. Sunset didn't disappoint either. Would love to do it again!
This is what we love to hear! Thank you so much for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for sharing your fantastic review! Mahalo and Aloha
I'm a repeat visitor, and perhaps because there were few Japanese people, I had trouble with the explanations in English. However, there was a staff member who understood Japanese, which was a great help. I was sad that I couldn't see the honu like before, but I was treated kindly.
リピーターですが日本人が少ないせいか説明が英語で困っていたら
日本語のわかるスタッフがいて助かりました
以前よりホヌには会えないのが寂しかったけど
親切にしてもらいました
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We hope you will come back to Paradise Ocean this summer, just like last year. We hope to see the honu this time!!
アロハ!千枝姐さん様
キャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
昨年の夏に引き続き今年の夏もまた天国の海に遊びにいらして下さい。今度こそホヌたちと会えますように!!
The staff was awesome! We had a wonderful time at the sandbar. Highly recommended! I would suggest booking the morning excursion. Worked for us wonderfully! The bad was so fun. Played all the songs requested.

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Wir haben Delfine gesehen, durften die Kulisse der Napali Coast geniessen, waren Schnorcheln, sind in eine Höhle und unter einem Wasserfall durchgefahren. Die Gegend ist einfach traumhaft, der Ausblick auf die grünen Klippen, die Farben vom Wasser, die Abgeschiedenheit. Da könnte man locker den ganzen Tag verbringen.
Danke an die Crew von Kapitän Rob, das wir so etwas erleben nri
If you’re second guessing whether or not you should do it, DON’T. I’m so glad I didn’t let my fear get in the way of experiencing such an unforgettable moment. I learned a great deal and have found a new appreciation for these apexes predictors.
I had a blast was saying goodbye to a friend and couldn't have asked for better service or a view. Everyone was nice and respectful and the games where a bonus!

We had a great time other than the water being freezing we had a blast! Absolutely amazing service and all around a great time and company. Professional and on time!
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
Amazing tour with lava caves, hundreds of dolphins, sea turtles, a whale shark and gorgeous scenery! Best thing we did in Hawaii!
My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).
Mahalo for your review! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
Absolutely incredible views of the beautiful Na Pali coastline. Captain did a great job of keeping it as smooth sailing as possible. There were some choppier parts of the journey, but we were pre-warned as they came up. The views were totally worth it! We even got to see rainbows over the coastline. As the seas were fairly calm, we were even able to see inside the edge of a cave. The crew were friendly and helpful, the food and drinks were fantastic too. On the return journey we were treated to views of the stunning sunset over the ocean. Would definitely recommend.
It is wonderful hearing how much you enjoyed your trip, and we'd like to thank you for joining us out on the water! We are elated to know how well taken care of you felt, and how much you enjoyed our staff. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha
