Hawaii
There was only one point of interest, which felt a bit lonely, but the staff were all friendly. Although it's not directly related to the tour, the meeting place is a homeless hub, so the atmosphere isn't very good, and it's something to be cautious about.
ポイントは一ヶ所のみで少し寂しい感じでしたが、スタッフの方々は皆さんフレンドリーでした。ツアーとは直接関係ないですが、集合場所はホームレス拠点なので、あまり雰囲気は良くないし、要注意です。
An airplane was flying overhead, and I was able to take some wonderful photos!
A few groups went offshore, and since there is a sequence of activities, it's better for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication in advance.
上空を飛行機が飛んでいて
素敵な写真が撮れました!
何組かで沖合に行き、アクティビティの順番があるので
船酔いする人は酔い止めは飲んでおいた方がいい。
Our quide, Dexter was excellent. He was very thoughtful and professional. He made an otherwise rainy, gloomy day a fun day. The tour gave us a great overview.
Glad we were able to put some sunshine in your day! Mahalo for joining us!
I used it from the airport to my accommodation. The staff's response was good, and even though it was a last-minute reservation, it was very helpful.
空港から宿泊地まで利用しました。
スタッフの対応も良かったし、直前の予約でしたがとても助かりました。
I recommend this tour and asking for Travis! He was the best thing about the tour! He made our family feel welcome and took time to show us all the local stuff and really explain life there. Mahalo Travis, thanks again!
After the bus arrived, there was an explanation by a Japanese person before entry, which was very good. I was also satisfied with the pool itself. The all-you-can-drink option was great as well.
バス到着後、入場までの間に日本人による説明があり、非常によかったです。プール自体も満足しました。飲み放題もよかったです
I was relieved that the shuttle bus was on time. The explanation about the dolphins was easy to understand, and there were no issues. Overall, I was satisfied.
送迎バスは時間通りで安心しました。イルカについても説明が分かりやすく、問題はありませんでした。全体としても満足しました
It was the best experience.
I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but I felt that it was a tour where beginners could participate with peace of mind because the guide was very supportive.
Hanauma Bay is very beautiful, and I was able to see a lot of fish. The swimming time is about an hour, which was just right for me as a beginner.
*For those who regularly engage in water sports, it might feel a bit short.
I think it's essential for participants in the winter season and beginners in snorkeling to rent a wetsuit.
In winter, the seawater is a bit cold, so the wetsuit helps alleviate that, and it provides buoyancy, allowing you to focus on snorkeling with peace of mind.
I will definitely book this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
最高の体験でした。
初めてのシュノーケリングで不安もありましたが、
ガイドさんがフォローしてくださるので初心者でも安心して参加できるツアーだと感じました。
ハナウマ湾はとても綺麗で魚もたくさん見ることができ、
遊泳時間は1時間程度ですが、初心者の私にはちょうど良い時間でした。
※普段からマリンスポーツをされている方には、もしかしたら少し物足りないかも
また冬シーズンの参加の方、シュノーケリング初心者の方は、
ウェットスーツのレンタル必須だと思います。
冬は海水が少し冷たいのでその緩和と、
浮力があるので安心してシュノーケリングに集中できます。
またハワイに行く時はこのツアーを必ず予約します。
I couldn't enjoy myself freely because I was with people I didn't know well. I would like to have a bit more free time. Although we got in early, we could only swim for about an hour, so I couldn't go to the places I wanted to. I didn't think Hanauma Bay was more beautiful than it was four years ago. It was nice that the fish were used to people and didn't swim away. The guide was kind and helpful. Since I didn't need water or snacks, I would have preferred a lower price or at least to have about two hours of free time.
初めての人たちと一緒だったので自由にできなかった。ある程度自由時間がほしい。早く入れたが実質泳げるのが1時間程度なので、行きたいところに行けなかった。4年前より、ハナウマ湾が綺麗だとは思えなかった。魚は慣れていたので逃げないのは良かった。ガイドさんは親切で良かった。水もお菓子もいらないので、もう少し安くするか、せめて2時間くらいは自由にしたかった。
It was a solo trip. This was my first time using it, but it was easy to understand and I didn't get lost at all. It was very comfortable. I would like to use it again.
ひとり旅でした。今回、初めて利用しましたが、分かりやすくて迷うこともありませんでした。非常に快適でした。また利用したいと思います。
We arrived early to check in, secured our seats, and waited for the show while enjoying Mai Tais. The atmosphere at our table was very friendly and lively. We had a great time celebrating honeymoon couples and birthdays, and even got to go on stage for a dance lesson. The buffet was well-managed by the staff, making the flow smooth, and the food was delicious. The Hawaiian dance was elegant and wonderful, and it seemed like the host's talk was well-received. The ocean beyond the stage and the sunset were spectacular.
早めに受付をして、席を確保し、マイタイを飲みながら、開演を待ちました。同じテーブルの人たちと和気藹々。とても楽しかったです。ハネムーンカップルや、お誕生日の人などをお祝いしたり、ステージに上がってダンスをレクチャーされたり、とても楽しい時間を過ごしました。ブッフェスタイルでしたが、取りに行く流れをちゃんとスタッフの方がコントロールしていて、スムーズでしたし、とても美味しかったです。ハワイアンダンスは優雅で素晴らしく、司会のトークも受けていたようです。ステージの向こうの海、そして夕陽が素晴らしかったです。
It was smooth and on time!
We passed through various hotels and arrived at the airport on time.
The driver was friendly and nice.
時間通りにスムーズでした!
いろんなホテルも経由して、時間通りに空港まで、いけました。
運転主さんも気さくで良かった。
It was great that they took many photos from various angles (for a fee). It was a very enjoyable cruise with the cheerful crew.
色んな角度からたくさん写真を撮ってくれる(有料)のでとてもよかったです。明るい乗組員さんたちととても楽しいクルーズでした。
It was disappointing that the first bus was not on time, but other than that, I was satisfied. I had a great time and enjoyed it thoroughly.
始めのバスが時間通りでなかったことが残念ですが、それ以外は、満足です楽しかったです、十分に楽しめました
The weather was nice, and I was able to ride the horse comfortably. At first, I thought three hours might be long, but it ended up flying by with the wonderful scenery. Unfortunately, it was disappointing that there was no explanation from the locals during the horseback riding.
お天気も良く、馬にも快適に乗れました。
始めは3時間は長いかなと思いましたが、素晴らしい景色の中あっというまにおわりました。
残念乍ら現地の人から乗馬中何も説明が無かったのが残念でした。
I participated in whale watching with Star of Honolulu. The large vessel provided excellent stability. The whales did not breach as much as shown in the promotional videos, and I regret having set my expectations too high. It's difficult to meet expectations when dealing with nature.
スターオブホノルルでのホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
大きい船体で安定感抜群でした。
クジラの姿は資料映像ほど跳ね上がることがなく、期待しすぎていたと反省です。自然相手ではなかなか期待通りにはいかないものです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Mat our pilot was fantastic gave us all the views this island had to show as well as pointed all the places that movies were filmed don’t hesitate to book with them A+ all the way
Aloha and mahalo for the awesome review! 🌺🚁 We're so happy you had an unforgettable flight with Mat—he’s a rockstar in the sky and loves sharing all the epic sights (and movie magic!) that Kaua‘i has to offer. It means the world to our small local team to hear we earned an A+ from you! Thanks for flying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more island views and Hollywood hotspots next time you're in paradise! 🌴🎬🌈
Perfectly organised day, from communication prior to the day to everyone involved in sny part of the tour.
The guide was great, hugely knowledgeable and interesting.
The helicopter trip was perhaps the most incredible thing I have ever done. The ground crew were superb and the pilot made it the best trip ever. After waiting 30 years to do this tour it didn't disappoint.
Could not recommend it highly enough.
This is a very special Adventure and glad we were able to show you the beauty of Kauai. Now you know why they call it the Garden Isle
I could clearly see the back of a whale. The weather was nice, and the largest boat in Hawaii was comfortable with little rocking. I recommend bringing a jacket as the air conditioning is quite strong.
クジラの背中かハッキリ見えました。
天気もよく、ハワイで一番大きな船てゆれもすくなく快適でした。
冷房が大変きいているので上着を持って行くことをお勧めします。

It was our first time and what a treat. 38 whales breached. We seen a mane ray jump out of the water. Whale (fluke). Rhode in the front of the boat what a ride. We Rhode the waves got a little wet. We extremely enjoyed it! Everyone was nice and gave lots of information.
Not enough space to go kayaking. The banana boat cost was quite expensive so we de used not to do that.
Mahalo for joining our tour and your review. We're sorry to hear that you are not satisfied kayaking and felt expensive the cost for banana boat. We hope you enjoyed your time at the sandbar. -Team KBOS
The most memorable experience during my stay in Hawaii was this tour. There was one Japanese staff member who kindly explained how to use the facilities. The explanation for horseback riding was not a problem since there was a video in Japanese. During the horseback riding, we were able to take photos, and at the turnaround point, the staff took pictures for us, which we later received via AirDrop. I was very satisfied! I would like to use this service again.
ハワイ滞在で1番思い出に残っていることがこちらのツアーでした。
日本人スタッフが1名いらっしゃり、施設の使い方等丁寧に教えてくださいました。
乗馬の説明は日本語のビデオがあったため問題ありませんでした。
乗馬中は写真撮影が可能で、折り返し地点でスタッフの方が写真を撮ってくださり、後ほどairdropでいただくことができ、大満足です!
また利用したいと思いました。
I heard that the water has become clearer thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, so I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in 42 years. I feel like the water was clearer back then compared to this visit. However, there were so many sea cucumbers that there was hardly any space to stand, making it uncomfortable to land on the sandy bottom. This time, I hardly encountered any sea cucumbers, and I felt there were many types of fish. I'm good at free diving, but since I borrowed a wetsuit for the season, my body was buoyant, making it difficult to dive deep, which was a hassle. It seems just right for looking down from the surface without diving.
コロナパンデニックのお陰?で水がきれいになったと聞き、42年ぶりにハナウマ湾に行ってきました。
その頃は今回より水は綺麗だったような気がします。
ただ、足の踏み場が無い程の大量のナマコがいて砂地の着地は気持ちが悪かったです。
今回はナマコには殆ど遭遇せず魚の種類も多く感じました。
素潜りは得意の方ですが、季節柄ウエットスーツを借りただけに体が浮き深く潜る事ができにくく厄介でした。
潜らず水面から下を眺めるにはちょうど良いようです。
In recent years, I've been going to Hawaii every year, but I couldn't go ziplining because my partner wasn't on board, which was frustrating. This time, we finally got to go together and had a great time.
We were part of a short tour with a group of seven people, including three Americans (a parent and child) and two young Asian women. One of the buggy drivers had studied in Japan and arranged for us to receive the photos he took via email (for free).
The only disappointing thing was that the longest line was closed. I want to challenge myself again.
ここ数年、毎年ハワイには行くものの連れ合いの賛同が得られずジップラインには行くことが出来ず辛い思いをしていました。
今回ようやく一緒に行ける事になり楽しんで来ました。
アメリカ人3人親子、アジア系のネイティブ若い女性2人組に私達の計7人でのショートツアー。
バギーの運転手の中に、日本で留学経験が有るスタッフがいて撮影してくれた写真をメールで送るように手配してくれました。(無料です。)
唯一残念だった事は、最長のラインが閉鎖されていたことです。
またチャレンジしたい。
I only saw the whales twice, and they were quite far away. I was hoping to see them up closer, so I was a bit disappointed. But since it's a natural occurrence, it can't be helped. However, the view of Waikiki from the sea was quite impressive, and I was satisfied.
くじらは、2回、遠くに見えた程度でした。もっと、近くで見えるかと思っていたので、すこし残念でした。自然のものなので、しょうがないですね。でも、海からのワイキキの景観は、なかなかのもので、満足しました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the boat. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
There were staff members who could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease to participate. It was the rainy season, so it rained on and off, but I had a great time. I didn't see any honu while snorkeling, but since we had some free time left, they took us by boat to a place where we could see honu, and I was able to see them! It was so much fun.
日本語が話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃり、安心して参加をすることが出来ました。
雨季だったので雨が降ったり止んだりでしたがとても楽しめました。
シュノーケリングではホヌが見られなかったのですが、自由時間が余ったため、船でホヌが見られる場所に連れて行っていただき見ることが出来ました!
とても楽しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I sincerely apologize that the weather was not perfect. However, I am truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour despite that. I am very pleased to hear that you encountered a rainbow, which is a symbol of Hawaii, and the honu, which is said to bring good luck. Please come back to the Paradise of the Sea to experience the beautiful nature again. We look forward to that day with all our hearts. Mahalo nui loa!
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。
天候はパーフェクトではなかったようで大変申し訳ございません。でもそんな中ツアーを楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。
ハワイのシンボルでもある虹と、幸運を運んでくると呼ばれるホヌにも遭遇出来たとお聞きして大変嬉しく思います。
ぜひまた美しい自然に会いに天国の海にお越しください。その日を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui loa!
I was set on a tour that stopped at just the Sandbar, my mom insisted we do a tour that went to 2 locations... She was right! The sandbar is awesome and I encourage people to get out and walk around while you're there, play volleyball (if you want) or just enjoy being on land while under about 2 feet of water! Its wild! A Puffer Fish greeted us! She was much bigger than what I thought puffer fish were. We had burgers and drinks and were off to our second location ... the reef!! On our way we saw a bunch of sea turtles! They were HUGE! Some swam right up close to the boat! It was incredible. It was after a mild storm so the water wasn't 100% clear but still fairly clear. There were tons of colorful fish swimming all around us. I took a few mins to swim around the whole reef! Which every time I popped my head up and saw I was further away from the boat was a little scary and exciting! It was such a fantastic adventure day! My mom loved it, my kids were a little afraid at first at the reef but came to love it too! The crew... let me not forget about the crew! They are absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly,... when my daughter started to cry (9 years old) they knew her name and kept encouraging her! It was the sweetest! My son thought the main guide/lifeguard was the coolest and just wanted to swim where ever he swam (7 years old). The captain on our boat that day was a lady and also super friendly! Highly recommend to all ages and all skill levels! (I had my cell phone with a water protected case - i highly recommend. I purchased mine before the trip from REI, they sold similar ones in the ABC stores in Hawaii.)
wonderful and first experience of my life. i 'll want to there again soon, this is my dream.
Aloha Joe! Thank you so much for joining our Manta Ray tour. We are so happy that you had a great time and that is was a dream come true. We hope to see you again soon. Mahalo
The morning whale watching cruise was excellent! The weather was perfect and the crew were friendly and informative. Before taking off we learned a few facts about whales and were able to purchase a snack from the snack bar. The cruise itself was magnificent and we saw several whales. It was such a a delight! I'd also like to mention that the restrooms on board the boat were extremely clean (When on a tour this isn't something you always encounter). My friend and I had a splendid time. We would not hesitate to take this cruise again. The one thing everyone should be aware of though is the parking fee. The boat does not valid and parking in the adjacent lot was a bit pricey.
I wasn't able to see dolphins, but I did get to see whales and turtles. Since they are wild animals, there's no guarantee you'll see them, so I actually feel grateful for the experience of seeing the less common animals. Oh, but maybe that's because I was able to see dolphins twice in the past, in Hawaii and Guam.
イルカを観る事ができませんでしたが、クジラや亀を観る事ができました。
野生動物である限り絶対はないので、イルカを見られないという事も
あるんだなあと、逆に確率の少ない方の経験ができて良かったという感想です。
あ、でも、それは、私は過去にハワイとグアムで2回、イルカを観る事が
できたからかも知れません。
