Hawaii
Staff were so kind and fun, we had a great time snorkeling amazing!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
The staff spoke Japanese, so the safety explanations, including sending signals if someone was in danger of drowning, were very clear. My husband couldn't swim very well, so we planned to wait on the boat, but thanks to the staff, we were able to go snorkeling.
It was fun to use the SAP and floaties. The spam onigiri, snacks, and macadamia nut coffee were also delicious.
Since it was cold in February, I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved cover-up.
日本語が話せるスタッフでしたので、おぼれそうになったらサインを送る等安全面含め説明がとても分かりやすかったです。主人がほとんど泳げませんでしたので船で待機する予定でしたが、スタッフの方のおかげでシュノーケリングができました。
SAPや浮き輪も使えて楽しかったです。スパムのおむすび、スナック菓子、マカダミアナッツのコーヒーもおいしかったです。
2月で寒かったので、長袖の羽織るものをお持ちいただいた方がよいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed snorkeling and other activities! We hope you will join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

It was a bit cold with strong winds in February, but it was fine once I got into the sea! The staff were very friendly and spoke Japanese, so I felt comfortable enjoying my time there.
2月なので風が強く少し寒かったですけど海に入れば大丈夫でした!スタッフもとても親切で日本語も話せるから安心して楽しめます♪
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are delighted that you enjoyed the tour and were able to see sea turtles. The photos of the heart reef are beautifully taken! We look forward to welcoming you back on the tour when you visit Hawaii again.

We participated as a pair. The weather was a mix of cloudy and sunny. There were about 30 participants, and surprisingly, 28 of them were Japanese. Therefore, all the explanations that day were in Japanese, and the crew members were very kind. When we went to the heavenly sea by boat, we were greeted by an emerald blue that looked like a picture. It was much more beautiful than the sea at Waikiki Beach. We participated in early February, and the sea was warmer than we expected. First, we rode a stand-up paddleboard in the shallow waters for the first time, and it felt very pleasant. After that, we went snorkeling and swam above the fish. We also encountered turtles twice. This was the activity where I felt the most connected to Hawaii during this trip. I would love to participate again if I come back.
2人で参加。天候は曇りと晴れが混ざった感じ。参加者が30人程いましたが、なんと内28人が日本人。そのため、その日の説明は全て日本語、クルーの皆さんとても親切でした。船で天国の海にいくと、写真のようなエメラルドブルーが広がっています。ワイキキビーチの海とは比較にならないくらい綺麗。2月上旬の参加でしたが、思ったよりも海は暖かかったです。まずは浅瀬でサップボートに初めて乗りましたが、とても心地がいい。その後シュノーケリングをし、魚が泳いでいる上を遊泳していました。あと亀にも2回遭遇しました。今回のハワイ旅行で1番ハワイを感じたアクティビティでした。また来たら参加したい。

スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
We had a great time snorkeling out at Molokini! The boat, crew, equipment, food and the rest were all really good! We had a great time and we’re very pleased! We recommend the Four Wnds 2 and her Captain and
Crew!
Thank you for choosing the Four Winds II!
Great and fun experience. Staff and performers were very kind, accommodating, and entertaining. I would highly recommend.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
I had a great time. There were various activities, and I really enjoyed myself. I was able to meet turtles, which became an unforgettable memory for me. This is a tour I can recommend to anyone.
とても楽しかったです。
いろいろなアクティビティがあり、楽しめました。亀に会うことができ、一生忘れられない思い出になりました。
どんな方にもおすめできるツアーです。

一生忘れられない思い出となった様で大変嬉しく思います。
また機会がございましたら是非ツアーにご参加くださいませ。また違ったサンドバーを楽しんで頂けるかと思います!
We were able to participate as a family. There was an initial explanation, but I could hardly understand it in English. Just before entering the water, I realized that wearing the rental life jackets was not optional for those diving; everyone had to wear one. It would be easier to understand if there were boards displaying information in multiple languages.
The snorkeling was fantastic, with clear weather and a wonderful encounter with a turtle. There were some waves as we headed out to sea, and I got a bit seasick. Participants should be cautious about that. However, even in that situation, I felt safe. The staff were kind and helped me recover quickly.
At the end, we took a commemorative photo with the staff. It was a great memory to be able to swim with the turtle as well.
家族で参加できました。
最初の説明がありましたが、英語でほとんど理解できず、海に入る直前に、レンタルの救命胴衣は希望者ではなく、潜る人は皆着用必須であることがわかりました。各国語表示の掲示板のようなものがあると理解しやすいのになと思います。
シュノーケリングは天候も快晴でカメさんとの出会いもあり最高でした。
沖合に出るため、多少波があり、波酔してしまいました。参加する人は注意しましょう。しかしそうなっても、安心です。スタッフさんが優しく対応してくれすぐに回復しました。
最後はスタッフさんと記念撮影。亀さんとも一緒に泳ぐことができいい思い出になりました。

母の還暦祝いにハワイ旅行をプレゼントしました。
1月下旬のハワイは風が強いためかなり肌寒く、スコール頻度が高かったです。
ツアーには日本人が3組と、外国人が3.4組ほどの合同でホテルまでの送迎付きで参加しました。
CMでよく見るサンドバーを想像していましたが、着いた時は曇天、潮位も腰ぐらい、水温もかなり冷たかったので、想像してたのとは違いがありました。
サンドバーでは同じツアーの日本人家族とバレーボールで激しく動いたのでその時は寒さを感じませんでした(笑)
船に戻るとものすごく寒すぎて日本人はみなブルブル震えていました。なので、タオルは多めで大きいの、羽織物も必須です。
船上では、日本人女性ガイドさんが親切にわかりやすく説明してくれました。
昼食は船上で焼いたハンバーガー
美味しかったです♪
ウミガメウォッチングでは、見事に大きなウミガメが何匹も海面に顔を出していました!
さらに、人生初大きな野生のマンタにも会うことができました!
シュノーケリング
思ってたよりかなり深く水深は約10-15mとのこと。
前日の大雨やスコールの影響で水中はかなり濁ってました。
近くまでいかないと何も見えない状況下の中で、なんとか大きな珊瑚と小魚見つけました(笑)
さらに急に野生のウミガメが現れてビックリ!
水温がかなり低かったので長居は出来ませんでしたが、貴重な体験をすることが出来ました!
ハワイ初シュノーケルは天候に恵まれなかったので残念でしたが、ツアー自体は見応えあって満足しています!
次こそは乾季の時期にもう一度トライしたいと思います!
Absolutely loved my excursion with this crew. Hands down the best snorkeling experience I had. There were 4 crew members and all were very nice and accommodating. They made us feel at home with drink service (juice, water, alcohol) as well as an awesome playlist. One of the guys, Justin (with long blonde hair) was in the water with us guiding us to where the turtles were. He even dove with my GoPro and got some epic footage. The trip all-in-all was about 90 min, which is perfect. I think a longer tour would have been too much personally. We spent a little over an hour in the water. HIGHLY recommend booking this trip. Thanks fellas! I had a blast
I had a wonderful experience. During snorkeling, I was able to see three sea turtles, and one of them was close enough to touch.
素晴らしい体験ができました。
シュノーケリングではウミガメを三匹見ることができ、
そのうちの一匹は触れるほどの距離で見ることができました。

This snorkeling trip was a perfect day for my family. The crew was fantastic. The ship was spotless..the weather and activities were gorgeous. It was a perfect balance of entertaining and relaxing.
We saw lots of Mantas. I can't wait to come back and do it again.
Aloha Jim,
We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the company of the manta's. We hope to see you in the near future!
Sea Paradise did a great job. We saw six mantas. I thought the boat trip would be a bit longer. Just a short ride out from shore. So it's not about sailing. But the mantas make up for it.
Aloha Jim,
Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review. We do offer a shorter boat ride for those who are prone to getting sea sick/don't want to be on the boat for too long. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your manta tour.
Sailing along the Na Pali coast with the towering mountains going down to the ocean was breathtaking. A can't miss tour.
We had a surprise interaction with a pod of spinner dolphins. It was so unexpected but such a highlight to see them swimming in our wake.
Thank you for the awesome feedback!
We had such a fun time snorkeling with the mantas. We didn't realize how close they come to you in the water. One of them belly-bumped me by accident. Such graceful sea creatures.
Aloha,
The mantas are truly amazing. Mahalo for choosing Sea Paradise for your manta adventures. We hope to see you soon!
I was a little nervous about snorkeling at night but I'm so glad I went. It's less of a snorkel and more of a snorkel float where you hold onto a floating mat with LED lights underneath. The mantas were swooping underneath us eating the plankton. It was so calm and magical. Highly recommend.
Aloha Jim,
We appreciate your recommendation! It is more of a uniform snorkel and typically not to strenuous. We agree, they are truly magical! We hope to see you in the near future!
We weren't sure what to expect with this dolphin interaction but it was amazing. You can tell the care the trainers have for the dolphins and it was a very well run operation helping to build awareness about the local conservation efforts to protect Hawaii's marine life.
There were two Japanese staff members who were both very friendly and attentive, which made it easy to enjoy the activities. Despite being fully booked, the staff acted promptly and efficiently, which was truly impressive. I had a personal issue after the event, but they kindly helped me with that as well, and I am really grateful. I definitely want to come back here next time! Thank you so much! 😊
日本人スタッフ2名がいらっしゃりお二人共とてもフレンドリーで気が利く方々でしたので安心してアクティビティができました。満席だったにも関わらずスタッフの皆さんはテキパキと行動されていてとても素晴らしかったです。終了後に個人的なトラブルがありましたがそれにも快く助けて下さって本当に感謝しています。次回も必ずこちらでお世話になりたいです!本当にありがとうございました(^^)
A little difficult to navigate and see things. You’re on your own, so you’ll really need to be cognizant of the area and where to anchor down. Sand bar was a bit out, but was a great experience. Not for beginners but also not terribly difficult. Bring a watch or phone, the kayaks are very stable and didn’t tip on us when trying to get back in. Staff was great
Aloha Tee Gee! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this great review. All very good feedback and we certainly appreciate it. Definitely good for people to know that you are going on your own so you definitely do have to be aware of a few important things. Hopefully our staff did a good job briefing you on all of that, glad to hear it sounds like they were good to you! And glad to hear overall it sounds like you had a good experience kayaking with us. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Overall great experience with a good meal, friendly crew, and add-ons to capture the adventure.
I would do it again. But I'd some time of approved boat shoe or water shoe. Not a fan of barefoot in public areas.
First of all, WOW. From beginning to end, this experience was one for the record books.
For $10 this crew sets you up with a wet suit (recommended), and then a snorkel set at no additional charge. Once we boarded, we were met with a warm welcome, and a good belly laugh. Excellent staff! They were informative, safe, and most importantly, knew how to have fun!
During the boat ride we were met with bottle nose dolphins and a humpback whale sighting! The dolphins were curious and playful, and swam all around our boat! I may or may not have shed a tear of joy. It was seriously rad.
Once we got to our destination they gave us a noodle for floating, and set up a large, square floatation device for everyone to hold onto while we watched the mana rays. They are huge! They’re giant, friendly, and bring their appetite for plankton. You’ll also see tons of fish while you snorkel.
After our time was up, and we boarded, they passed out cups of hot chocolate.
The entire experience as a whole was one we will never forget. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS while you’re here!
Thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime! Keep up the good work, guys! Mahalo
Aloha Nikki,
Thank you for the amazing comments about our team, we're glad your group felt safe and satisfied! We do offer a repeater discount of 20% off, so please keep us in mind for future travel plans.
Mahalo,
Iruka Hawaii
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The experience was wonderful, even though the day was not sunny and it was a little windy. The snorkeling was amazing, and we definitely saw a bunch of turtles! The boat ride was smooth, and the water was nice! Definitely recommend, it was totally worth it!
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time and enjoyed snorkeling in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.
Our Staff are working so hard to exceed customer satisfaction.
Mahalo for the compliments. Please come back again. Mahalo!
When I woke up in the morning and looked outside, it was cloudy... Since it looked cold, I wore a swimsuit, a rash guard, and a light jumper! There were four staff members on the boat, and they were all wearing thick hoodies (laughs). We arrived at the sandbar quickly from where the boat was anchored! The water was about waist-deep, and despite the clouds, it was surprisingly clear and beautiful! They lent us paddleboards and floaties, so we spent time taking pictures and having fun at the sandbar! After that, we put on life jackets and snorkels and swam to see the honu! It was quite deep, but wearing a life jacket made it completely fine! There were a lot of participants, so it was a bit crowded for swimming. We were able to see about 3-4 honu (^ - ^). After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I was shivering, so having a thick hoodie or sweatshirt might be a good idea! On the boat, there were snacks, warm water, coffee, and one spam onigiri per person! The snacks were all-you-can-eat, so I tried some that I had never eaten before! They were all delicious snacks, so I bought some as souvenirs at a local supermarket! Since there was a little time after getting off the boat, some people were changing. It was really cold, so I wish I had brought a change of clothes... One of the staff members spoke Japanese, so I could hear the explanations in Japanese! It was a valuable experience!!
朝起きて外を見たら、曇り、、、
寒そうだったので水着+ラッシュガード+薄手のジャンパーみたいなものを羽織って行きました!
船のスタッフは4名いましたが、みなさん厚めのパーカーを羽織ってました(笑)
船の停まってる場所からサンドバーまではすぐ到着しました!腰くらいの高さでしたが、曇りの割に水が透き通って見えてとても綺麗でした!
パドルボートや浮き輪を貸してくれたので、サンドバーで楽しみながら写真を撮ったりして過ごしました!
その後、ライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて、ホヌに会いに泳ぎました!結構深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着てるので全く問題なかったです!
参加者が多かったので、泳ぎにくさはありました。3-4匹のホヌに会えることができました(^-^)
海から上がった後は震えるくらい寒かったので、厚手のパーカーやトレーナーがあると、いいかもしれません!
船上ではスナック、あったかい水・コーヒー、1人1個スパムおにぎりがありした!!スナックは食べ放題なので、食べたことのないスナックを食べました!!どれも美味しいスナックなので、お土産に地元のスーパーでも買いました!
船から降りてから少し時間もあったので、着替えてる方もいました。とにかく寒かったので着替え持参しておけばよかった、、
スタッフのうち1名、日本語スタッフがいてくれたので、説明は日本語で聞けました!
貴重な経験ができました!!

スノーケリングではホヌに会えたみたいで良かったです。
またハワイに来た際は是非ツアーにご参加下さいませ。スタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております!
Capt Steve and crew member Morgan were absolutely Wonderful! Made us feel at ease. I would recommend the wet suits to get the full exploration time in case the westher is a bit chilly. Just getting out of the Bay was a Pod of Dolphins 8 or more right at the beginning of the Snorkeling tour!! On our way to 2nd Bay, Capt Steve notcied a whale that was a bit out of the way but still took us there and ended up being a Mama Whale with her baby practicing breaching the water! How amazing!! The Snorkeling was filled with Gorgeously Brillant colors of multitudes of fish especially at Capt Cook’s Momument! We explored magnificant caves while Capt Steve explained the History of the Island and topped off with delicious healthy assortment of fruit at first Bay and much needed sandwiches at the completion of the 2nd Bay stop!! We even lucked out and caught a glimpse of s huge Manta Ray coming back into port. Absolutely Perfect Snorkeling Tour and very personalized with a small group of interesting people!! Thank you Seaquest!!! I will remember this for the rest of my lfe!! That’s what life is all about!!
Great fun for my family with teenagers and friends! Something to do for everyone /)
Yes, there really is something for everyone to do at the sandbar. Mahalo! -Team KBOS
Such an amazing experience, All the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped with everything, the live music was amazing and added to the experience. Great vocals by Jesse! Highly recommend! 5 stars!!
We appreciated your time for this review, kind words for our crew, and recommendation. Mahalo! - Team KBOS
We had a wonderful morning! The team working the adventure was helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend it! Our family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 children: age 11 and 6) and our friend that was visiting has a blast kayaking, SUP and hanging out on the floating island. Music was awesome! My kids love the lemonade and donuts.
Mahalo for your review and nice picture! - Team KBOS
The sea was beautiful, and I saw a lot of fish. It was shallow, so the distance to the coral was close. There are various activities included, so you can really enjoy yourself.
海も綺麗でお魚が沢山みれました。
浅いので珊瑚との距離が近かったです。
アクティビティが色々ついているのでしっかり楽しめます
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
