Hawaii
The guide's friendly demeanor was great. During the round-trip shuttle ride, there were various explanations about the area, which were helpful.
ガイドさんのフレンドリーな対応が良かった。行きかえりの送迎車の中でも、地域のいろいろな解説があり、参考になった。
Thank you for participating in the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. It was great that we were able to see turtles at two locations, Keyhole Lagoon and Sandman's Patch, despite the strong waves that day. We will continue to work hard to ensure our customers are happy, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. Next time, I would like to guide you further out. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。
この日は波が強かったことから、キーホールラグーンとサンドマンズパッチの2か所で亀に会うことができて良かったですね。
これからもお客様に喜んでいただけますように頑張りますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしてくださいね。
今度は沖の方をご案内させていただきたいと思っております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!
I highly recommend this, especially for families!
My family had a great time!
Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to write us this review and for sharing your experience with us at the luau. We're glad that you and your family had an interesting and excellent experience and enjoyed the activities at the luau. Mahalo for the recommendation, we appreciate it! Hopefully we'd see you and your family again!
On the fourth day of our honeymoon, we went horseback riding! After checking in, we listened to an explanation in Japanese on a monitor and were guided to ride the horses. After that, the instructions were in English, but the instructors and staff were all very nice, which made me feel at ease. Riding through such magnificent scenery, which words cannot fully express, was a precious experience, and I’m really glad I did it!
After the approximately two-hour tour, I wanted to eat a hamburger at the same facility, but I missed the 4 PM cutoff, so if you're interested, please pay attention to the time! I was so satisfied with this tour that I would love to do it again if I have the chance to come back to Hawaii!
新婚旅行4日目に行きました!
チェックインをしたらモニターで日本語での説明を聞き、案内され馬に乗りました。その後は英語での対応でしたがインストラクターやスタッフの皆さんとてもいい方で安心しました。言葉では伝わらないほど壮大な景色の中、馬に乗りながら歩けたのは貴重な経験で本当にやってよかったです!!
約2時間のツアーが終わったら同じ施設にあるハンバーガーを食べようと思いましたが、16時までで間に合わなかったので気になる方は時間に気をつけてください!またハワイに来る機会があったらやりたいくらいこのツアーに参加できて大満足です!
We had a great tour, and knowledgeable tour guide, Steve. The kayak and hike were beautiful and the water fall was sooo worth it! We did end up going ahead of our group when we were on our way back as we did have some slower paced people. But we found our way back easy. Would definitely go again!
Aloha Tenille,
Will let Steve know that you enjoyed the tour.
What is nice about our Wailua Rive tour to the falls is that by the time you might get tired paddling, there is the trail to the falls. Nice combination of paddling and hiking.
With the recent rains.the waterfall has been really gushing. Great picture.
Thank you for taking the time to share.
Until then....keep chasing waterfalls.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
We had an amazing time as the crew was incredibly prepared and accommodating. They were able to fit all of us on board and bring us out without a problem. The guides were very knowledgeable and were helpful in getting in and out of the water. They work together with the other tours in the same space to attract as many rays as possible. We ended up seeing 10 or more rays with a near constant show. We had my 65-year-old mom and dad, my 40-year old self and wife, and our eight and 10-year-old with us, and it was never a problem. A great activity if your kids can stay up a little later and recover the next day.
It's a short boat ride out, but the darkness set off a little of my motion sickness, So if you're prone to that be sure to take some medication ahead of time. I also had a little issue being in the waves and going up and down in the darkness. One of the other participants got fully sick away from the boat but the crew handled it very professionally.
I would absolutely recommend them!
Best excursion during our week in Maui. The reviews were spot on about Sea Maui. The captain and crew were outstanding. You won’t be disappointed.
The tour guide took us into the ocean beyond the cruise ship (as in the picture below). We saw whales and heard a whale singing from under the Kayaks. Most beautiful experience. I’m not a pro at kayaking, but the guide was always looking out to keep us up with the more avid kayakers. He had all the answers to our questions. Could not snorkel that day as the water was murky. Had a wonderful time. I would do it all over again given the chance.
The sandbar was unfortunately not very sandbar-like due to the tides, but my daughter was really happy to see a sea turtle up close. It was an experience that is hard to come by in Japan. Also, the spam musubi made by the staff was delicious.
サンドバーは潮の満ち引きの関係で、あまりサンドバーらしくなく残念ではありましたが、ウミガメを至近距離で見られたのは娘も本当に喜んでいました。中々日本ではできない体験が出来ました。またらスタッフが作ってくれたスパムにぎりが美味しかった
Aloha, this is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are delighted that you encountered a sea turtle and that your daughter enjoyed it as well. Depending on the season, you may see different sandbars, so we would be grateful if you could join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you back. Mahalo!
Aloha、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いただき誠にありがとうございました。
ツアー中にウミガメに遭遇され、お嬢様にも喜んでいただけたこと嬉しく思います。
時期によってまた違ったサンドバーが見られると思いますので、またハワイにお越しの際には天国の海ツアーにもご参加いただけましたら幸いです。
スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。Mahalo!
I participated in other activities as well, but my high school-aged child said this was the most fun. My elementary school-aged daughter was scared of snorkeling and couldn't get in the water, so she didn't enjoy it as much. I thought it was great to experience various cultures through songs and dances. There were many staff members, so I felt safe participating. I highly recommend this tour.
他のアクティビティにも参加しましたが高校生の子供は1番楽しいと言ってました。小学生の娘はシュノーケリングが怖くて中々入水出来ずイマイチとの感想てました。歌や踊りなど色々な文化にも触れられて私は良かったと思います。
スタッフも多く安心して参加させて頂きました
大変オススメ出来るツアーだと思います。
It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.
参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。
I wanted to see the sandbar, but even though I chose a tour date that would arrive at the sandbar right at low tide, the water level was still up to my waist at the end of January due to the rainy season. However, I knew this from my research, so I enjoyed paddleboarding and snorkeling instead. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, and the water wasn't cold. The staff were very kind, taking videos for us and answering our questions patiently, which was really helpful. Even without seeing the sandbar, I had a great time, but if I have the chance again, I would love to join a tour during the dry season.
サンドバーを見たかったんですが、干潮の時間ぴったりにサンドバーに着くツアーの日付けを選んでも、1月末は雨季の為、やはり水位はお腹くらいまでありました。
でも、調べて分かっていたことなので、パドルボードやシュノーケルをして楽しみました。
当日は、天候に恵まれて、水も冷たくありませんでした。
スタッフの方たちも、とても親切で、ムービーを撮っていただいたり、質問にも丁寧に答えていただいて、助かりました。
サンドバーが見えてなくても楽しめますが、もしまた機会があれば、乾季にツアーに参加できたらなと思います。
We are sorry to hear that the water level was high this time, but we are glad to know that you were able to enjoy the activities. We look forward to your participation in our tours when you visit Hawaii again. Thank you. From all the KBOS staff.
今回水位が高かった事は残念でしたが、その分アクティビティをお楽しみ頂けた様でうれしく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーへのご参加を是非お待ちしております。ありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
Both our tour guides were great. They were funny and attentive. I really enjoyed learning about the history of the land and driving the atv . Def recommend wearing the gear they provide, it gets dusty and you get dirty. It was a lot of fun.
This was a charming, intimate, beautiful, culturally informative, entertaining, and interactive experience from end to end. I cannot recommend it highly enough. My husband and I embarked on the sunset tour and I will save up my dollars and do it again in the future. The 4 person crew covered more things than I expected. They are very passionate about their home and it’s history, and educate and support many different people besides tourists.This is a good way to start a visit to the island as it will add more perspective to your visit overall.
We came to Waikiki for our honeymoon. Since my wife wanted to see a Hawaiian show, we decided to book this experience. The welcome, dinner, hula practice during dinner, and hula show were all exactly as we imagined and were fantastic.
During the meal, there was a couple next to us who came from Los Angeles. The atmosphere was so good that we were able to get to know them well. Additionally, we were able to see shows featuring performers resembling Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, which was very enjoyable.
ハネムーンでワイキキに来ました。

Our entire staff is honored to have been able to help you create wonderful memories in Hawaii. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
この度はロッカフラVIPワイキキルアウブッフェ&ショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。ルアウブッフェのお食事、エルビスやマイケルそして、ハワイアンショーなど楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができたことをスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。またのお越しをスタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Such a fun tour, you'll drive an ATV through Kualoa Ranch. beautiful view.
I was picked up on time. With Uber, it takes a while for them to arrive, so the shuttle is definitely cheaper and more reliable. I was taken to the location with check-in counters for different airlines.
予定時間通りにピックアップして貰えました。ウーバーだと来るまで時間がかかるのでやはりシャトルが安いし確実。航空会社別のチェックインカウンターのある場所まで運んで貰えました。
The bus driver also provided guidance during the ride, and the captain explained things in Japanese, making it a fun and安心な体験!
バスの運転手さんも、運転中にガイドをしてくれたり、
キャプテンも、日本語で説明してくれて
楽しく安心な体験になりました!!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed it.

We could not see any and also the ride was so bumpy
Aloha Shawn,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We extend our deepest apologies for the experience you had on our tour. We would like to hear more details about it. Could you email us at info@hawaiidolphin.com and elaborate further? We would like to rectify this situation. Thank you.
Best,
Iruka Hawai‘i ‘Ohana
We took a snorkel trip with the Moana boat crew and had a fantastic experience. We set sail on the beautiful catamaran at 0830 and to head out see the sea turtles at the infamous 'shell-cleaning' reef which is located just outside the breakers off Waikiki beach. Our Capt for the day, Anthony, was personable, friendly and made us all feel welcome aboard the boat. Zack and Sarah were the other two crew members and they were friendly, professional, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. 100% would sail with this crew again. Bring some tip $ for them, because they definitely deserve it. Book a tour today!
The snorkel site is popular and several boats are in the area, which is nice because you don't feel like you're out in the middle of the ocean alone. It can get busy with everyone trying to see the turtles and fish so be sure to keep an eye on the surface as well as watching what is below. Some turtles even come over to our boat and I snapped a photo (attached to this review). Overall water depth is about 20-30 feet and even on a cloudy & murky day (like ours) we could easily see numerous fish and several large sea turtles. We were even lucky enough to see Humpback whales (mom & baby)!!
We booked our trip in mid/late Feb and it was overcast & rainy. A bit chilly at times, but come prepared and it's a fun trip regardless. Plenty of covered space to store dry items, but a "drybag" is a nice touch on any beach/water adventure.
We booked the 0830 trip to maximize sea life activity which also resulted in 2 families being on the boat....8 people total. Virtually a private tour! When we pulled back into the pier for the next tour there were about 20-25 people waiting for the next tour. And, parking at the marina is easier before the crowds arrive.
Lots of whales , good viewing and lots of knowledge
My 10 yo daughter and I did this excursion during a recent trip to the Big Island. It was an incredible and highly memorable evening and I feel privileged to have been able to do this.
We saw humpback whales and dolphins en route to the Manta Ray swim spot, and that made the excursion worthwhile, even before we'd seen the rays.
The crew were knowledgeable and fun and although the activity requires you to jump into the ocean at night without any light, I always felt safe and confident that the crew was looking after us. Having my daughter with me made that essential.
We floated for about 15 mins before we saw the rays, but when we did it was really breathtaking. We had around 30 mins or so floating before we got back on the boat for the ride back to port.
The crew took videos and photos and shared them with us which was a really lovely touch.
Wetsuits were a must as it does get cold. For those with younger children, there was a larger float that they could sit on safely, but older children were able to float in the water alongside adults.
I really couldn't recommend this highly enough. Maybe leave an extra 15 mins to find the dock as we struggled a little as there are quite a few trips leaving from the same marina at similar times.
Aloha! Thank you so much for choosing Iruka Hawaii Dolphin for your Manta Ray snorkel adventure. We are so happy that you and your daughter had such a great experience with us. We hope to see you soon, mahalo
We really enjoyed the glass bottom boat cruise. We had a frustrating experience earlier with snorkeling and we were happy to have an opportunity to see the reefs and the fish from the comfort of a boat. We even got to see some sea turtles under the boat! We also thought that the price for the cruise was more reasonable than many of the attractions in Hawaii. After the cruise we went hiking on the beautiful Ala Kahakai Trail which extends north from A-Bay. The glass bottom boat cruise is a can't miss experience on the Big Island!
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise and for including those wonderful photos! We're so happy to read that you njoyed the trip and got to see so much marine life.
We know there are a lot of activities to choose from when you're on the island and we're honored you chose to spend part of your morning with us and that we've earned your recommendation.
Mahalo and A Hui Hou
The water was higher than I expected, reaching waist height. I aimed to go during low tide, but I couldn't see a very beautiful sandy beach. However, the water was clear, and snorkeling was amazing. There were many fish and turtles, and I was able to swim alongside them. I also enjoyed various experiences like stand-up paddleboarding. It was a lot of fun. The explanations in Japanese made me feel secure during the experience. I definitely want to check the low tide again when I visit Hawaii next time.
思ったより海の水も腰の高さまであり、
干潮をねらって行ったのですが
なかなか綺麗な砂浜は見れませんでしたが、
海の中も綺麗でシュノーケリングは最高でした。
魚やカメさんもたくさんいて
一緒に泳ぐ事ができました。
またsupやいろいろな体験ができて
楽しかったです。
日本語の説明もあり安心して体験できました。
ぜひまたハワイに行った時は
干潮を調べて体験したいと思います。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed activities such as snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. We hope you will join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
ツアーにてスノーケリングやSUPなど楽しんで頂けたみたいで嬉しく思います。
またハワイに来た際には是非ツアーにご参加くださいませ。スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Our tour guide is Deno. He is very knowledgeable and funny. He takes well care of us. We are happy to book any other tour with him.
This is one of the most thrilling activities I have done in my decades of traveling to Hawaii. Such an incredible value! The crew was amazing. Riding the waves as you take in the majestic views of Waikiki made my birthday morning memorable. Thank you so much!
Mahalo for taking the time to give us a five star rating and write a review. We are so happy that you were able to join us for a canoe ride on your special day. Happy Birthday! We do hope that you will come back soon to catch some more waves with us. Aloha
It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.
After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.
Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.
何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか?と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。
This tour was worth every penny. The sites and culture we experienced were beyond our expectations. The tour guide was so friendly and her knowledge of each and every site visited and of the Hawaiian culture and history was beyond outstanding. This tour has to be the highlight of our visit to the Big Island. If you want an exciting, exhilarating, beautiful, and culturally immersive experience this tour will meet your every expectation.
The guide was very friendly and shared many interesting stories! Everyone participating was American, and we all had a great time together. We were able to see a starry sky that you can't experience in Japan. The guide also explained about the stars, which was very enjoyable.
ガイドさんが非常に気さくな方で色々な面白い話をしてくれました!参加していたのはアメリカ人だけでしたがみんなでワイワイしてました。日本ではみるようなことができない満点の星空を見ることができました。ガイドさんが星の解説もしてくださり非常に楽しかったです
The family thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We learned so much and appreciate the service of the military. Thanks for this tour. We could easily have stayed for longer.
My spouse and I tried surfing for the first time together. Initially, we just hoped to be able to stand up by the end of the lesson, but surprisingly, I managed to stand up on my first attempt. After repeating it several times, I was even able to strike a pose while standing by the end. Thanks to the cheerful and kind staff, we enjoyed this quick activity immensely.
It was also fun to communicate with participants from various countries while surfing (even if you can't speak English, it's fine to go with the flow; they will cheer you on if you catch a wave well). Additionally, there’s an option to have the day's activities filmed (with drone footage and photos), which I highly recommend for taking home memories.
You can store your belongings in lockers, so it's convenient during your travels. I participated right after climbing Diamond Head early in the morning, and it was no problem at all. The area around the surfing lesson has shallow waters with some rocks, so it might be good to have band-aids and disinfectant just in case.
夫婦揃って初めてのサーフィンに挑戦しました。
当初は、レッスンの最後までに立ち上がれるようになればいいくらいの気持ちで参加しましたが、なんと1回目で立ち上がることに成功。
その後も何度も繰り返して、最後の方には立ち上がってポーズを決めることができるまでになりました。
明るく親切なスタッフの皆さんのおかげで、あっという間のアクティビティを楽しむことができました。
色々な国の方が参加されているので、その人たちともコミュニケーションを取りながらサーフィンをすることができるのも楽しかったです。(英語はできなくてもその場のノリで大丈夫。上手く波にのることができたら褒めてくれます。)
また、オプションで当日の模様を撮影してもらうことが出来る(ドローンを用いた映像と写真)ので、思い出に持ち帰ることもおすすめです。
ロッカーに荷物を預けることができるので、旅の途中にもOK。早朝ダイヤモンドヘッド登頂からそのまま参加しましたが、問題なしです。
サーフィンレッスン付近は浅瀬で所々岩があるので、万一に備えてバンドエイドや消毒液があるとなお良いかもしれません。
