サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでのプライベート時間<6名まで/日本語クルー>

It's my favorite tour. 大好きなツアーです。

Reviewed by: choco

The sandbar is very beautiful, and you can also meet sea turtles. You can enjoy both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. We opted for a private boat rental plan, but before COVID, it included lunch, which is no longer the case now.

サンドバーはとても綺麗で、ウミガメにも会えます。シュノーケリングもSUPも楽しめます。ボート貸し切りプランにしましたが、コロナ前はランチ付きだったのが、今はありません。

Aloha!
Thank you very much for using Captain Bruce's private boat charter plan. We are truly grateful to hear that you referred to it as your "favorite tour."
Thank you for sharing your review.
The beauty of the scenery at Kaneohe Bay Sandbar and the relatively high chance of encountering sea turtles are some of the attractions of our tour. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding as well.
Regarding the meals, we have had to revise our offerings since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we currently provide snacks and spam musubi. We offer cold beverages such as juice, soda, and mineral water, as well as hot drinks like coffee, tea, and cocoa. Additionally, you are welcome to bring your preferred food and drinks, including canned alcohol, and you can use the cooler on board.

The best memories with my grandparents. 祖父母との最高の思い出

Reviewed by: かなみ

I was able to enjoy the tour with staff members and the captain who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Both of them were supportive throughout, helping a lot to ensure that my grandmother and my 0-year-old son could have fun.

Thanks to their gentle guidance, my grandmother, who has a chronic illness that makes it difficult for her to move her arms and legs, was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. She said this experience was her best memory. We also encountered many turtles!

In the end, I forgot to give a tip! I'm thinking of ways to somehow give it to them... that's the only regret I have. I'm sorry for not giving it (cry).

I would love to use your services again! Thank you so much for everything!

日本語が話せるスタッフさんとキャプテンとご一緒することができ、安心してツアーを満喫することができました。
お二人とも終始サポーティブで、おばあちゃんや0歳の息子が楽しめるよう、たくさん手伝っていただきました。
特に、持病から手足が動かしづらいおばあちゃんにも優しくガイドしていただいたお陰様で、おばあちゃんもシュノーケリングやサップなどを楽しむことができました。
おばあちゃんは、この体験が一番の思い出だと言っていました。
カメさんにもたくさん遭遇することができました!

最後、チップをお渡しするのを忘れてしまいました!!
どうにかお渡しする方法がないか考えています、、これだけが心残りです、、。お渡しせずにすみませんでした(泣)

Kauai Na Pali Sunset Cruise with Open Bar & Taco Buffet Dinner - Lucky Lady

Napali Coast Tour

Reviewed by: Angela Jacob

The captain and crew were outstanding and made the trip very enjoyable. The food portions were on the small side. While the tour was advertised as open bar, it was very limited. It also only opened during the last two hours of the trip. I found that to be misleading.

I would definitely shop around a little more the next time.

Kauai Sunset Cruise with Open Bar - Ocean & River Boat Tour from Lihue

Relaxing, Beautiful Boat tour

Reviewed by: Sean L.

We were looking for a shorter boat tour on Kauai because we can’t deal with being on a boat for too long, and I’m glad we found this one. It was a smooth and relaxing ride, lead by some friendly guys. They narrated the tour with information and trivia about the island. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the river and views of the mountains. I recommend this tour if you want a sunset boat tour that doesn’t take up all your time and avoids any risk of seasickness. Drinks included!

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

It was nice, wish the snorkeling was better

Reviewed by: bkst

Counted on this boat tour for good snorkeling and did not get it at all even though waters were calm at the time of day we snorkeled. Co-captain agreed that captain could have picked a better spot for snorkeling. Decently long boat ride to get to Na Pali Coast. Boat tour was cut short by almost an hour (not sure why, but honestly it would have dragged on if it wasn't cut short). Other than those things, it was nice seeing the scenic coast and we saw turtles and dancing dolphins.

Crew was wonderful! Trip was amazing! Would love to come back and do it again

Need to know…wearing a spf shirt would have been a good idea! Having salty crackers for upset stomach would have helped.

The captain surprised us by taking the boat into a small area so that we could see the entirety of amazing cave. Very cool!

The perfect activity to do on one of your getaway days, was so great to learn the history, and the challenges of the locals with survival on just daily living, on Kauai.
Was so good to be out on a very nice boat, but even better to be out with a captain and crew with great positive energy!! Took my 16 yo,14yo,7yo with and we all had a great time with great memories!, even had dolphins ride the wake of the boat for a bit!

4-Hour Ohana Deluxe Waikiki Private Yacht Charter Experience with Hot Tub

Fun boat for friends!

Reviewed by: Yes to Hawaii

Absolutely LOVED this trip!! We did the 11am-3pm time block and it was perfect. The inside cabin was also air-conditioned. And, yes, the hot tub was perfect too!

We brought our own snacks and drinks since we knew it was a longer 4-hour trip. Snorkel equipment was included for those of us that wanted to snorkel.

The boat was HUGE (74ft!) so we had plenty of space. We brought our own smaller speaker which was great for lounging on the bow of the boat.

  • Great day out on the water!

This was an amazing tour that was the highlight of our week in Kauai. It was well worth the cost for our group of six for an amazing afternoon cruising the Na Pali Coast for for over four hours.

Makana Charters is the best!

Reviewed by: Nicole T.

I highly recommend Makana Charters for your tour of the Na Pali coast! Capt. Rob, Leroy, and Bobby were the best crew! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We enjoyed the stories and Hawaiian tradition around the various stops along the way. I was impressed that Bobby remembered every person's name on the boat and showed a genuine interest in each and every one. Leroy even took song requests! The water was a bit choppy the day we went, but that made it all the more fun! We enjoyed the amazing sights of the Na Pali coast, the cave and waterfall, the dolphins swimming right under the kids' feet off of the bow, the sea turtle waving hello, and the snorkeling. The sandwiches were delicious, too! I would definitely book with Makana Charters again! We had a blast!

This review is for the non-swimmers

Reviewed by: Tina

This was an amazing experience in every way!
The boat ride felt like a roller coaster ride, the sightseeing was breathtaking, the crew was so friendly and kept us entertained with all the knowledge and stories about the island and lastly the snorkeling experience was so refreshing!! I am a non swimmer and so a big paranoid in very deep water, even with my floaties!! But leeroy took such good care of me when I was snorkeling, he even took me for a ride in the water with a tube, so that I could see more fishes and get a complete experience, it was amazing!!!

The whole crew is amazing, captain Rob, Kana with the storytelling skills and Ofcourse Leroy, they all make such a a amazing team. Will be back soon!

貸切ボートチャーター 野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリング付きクルーズ ご家族やお友達だけで特別なクルーズ体験!<日本語ガイド/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎>

I was able to see wild dolphins and whales. 野生のイルカウォッチングと鯨もみえました

Reviewed by: H&A

The private boat charter was a great help for families with small children. Since there were many little kids, it was really nice for us parents not to have to worry about other customers being around. Not only did we go wild dolphin watching, but we were also lucky enough to see whales. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, and we were able to see them up close, which was incredibly cute. I definitely want to participate again, but when I tried to make the next reservation, it seemed that my next visit to Hawaii was fully booked, so I couldn't reserve. I'm really disappointed... I wish I had planned earlier.

貸切ボートチャーターは小さい子連れには助かりました。小さい子供が多かったので、他のお客様がいないことは親としては気を遣わなくてとってもよかったです。野生のイルカウォッチングだけでなく、運が良くクジラを見る事ができました。イルカが船に合わせて泳いでくれたのか、近くでみることができてとってもかわいかったです。ぜひまた参加したいと思い、次の予約をしようと思いましたら次のハワイ訪問日はいっぱいのようで、
予約できなくて残念です。。。もっと早く計画しておけばよかったです。

It was truly the best! 本当に最高でした!

Reviewed by: カオリ

I used a private speedboat. The first half had bad weather and it rained, but thanks to Captain Kekko's consideration, we were able to spend our time comfortably. The weather improved in the second half, and we enjoyed snorkeling, making it a fantastic experience. I would like to use this service again.
P.S. I think choosing the right season is important. The low ratings are mostly in March.

Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable, and it's not uncommon for it to suddenly rain even when it seems sunny during the tour. That's why our staff prays every day, "May the weather be nice!"

The Paradise Ocean offers different scenery depending on the month and the weather, so we would be delighted if you could join us again. Captain and crew are looking forward to seeing you!

Mahalo!

Wonderful boat tour with experienced staff

Reviewed by: Daniel

The Napali coast boat tour was definitely worth our time and money. The 5-hour or so tour was filled with constant activities, with experienced captain and the crew. The 20-or-so person boat was comfortable with the front-facing seats and a clean bathroom. It was also newly cleaned and painted. The captain also maneuvered through the caves and shore with experience, providing good opportunities for the pictures. The tour also provided an ample time for a snorkeling towards the end. It was definitely something we would recommend.
