Hawaii
Perfect family friendly glass bottom boat tour. At ~35 min, perfect length for our four-year old.
Staff very friendly, marine expert was great at pointing out the different species and interesting traits.
Tour also launches from a very nice, calm protected beach which would be worth visiting again, as the calm waters would allow even the youngest children the chance to walk and splash in the water with maybe a few small fish swimming by.
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!!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. Although it seems the weather was unfortunately cloudy, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It's great that you were able to see the honu while snorkeling. Please join us again when you come to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you!
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。
あいにくの曇り空だった様ですが、ツアーを楽しんで頂けたみたいで嬉しく思います。
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!
It was cloudy, but driving the buggy on the vast grounds was an amazing experience! Although it was only for two hours, we stopped at various points for photo opportunities! We went as a pair, and since we could switch drivers four times, we each got to drive twice!
I thought it might be a bit chilly, so I wore a T-shirt, long pants, and a light windbreaker! Almost everyone except for the Japanese was in T-shirts and shorts!
There were no staff who spoke Japanese, and everything from the initial explanation upon arrival to the end was in English, so there were many things I didn't understand. However, before driving the buggy, I was relieved to watch a Japanese explanation video!
I showed my passport before getting on the shuttle bus and presented my Japanese driver's license before driving the buggy. They provided helmets and goggles! Since we drove in a line of about six buggies, the dust from the buggy in front hit us directly, making our faces completely black (laughs). It might be good to have something like a mask or bandana to cover your mouth. After the buggy ride, you can wash off some of the dust at the provided water station, but without cleansing, only about 30% of it comes off, so it might be better not to wear makeup... (laughs). The photo time during the ride also resulted in very dusty faces, so in a way, it became a good memory! (laughs)
Since the clothes also get brown from the dust, it might be better to wear clothes that you don't mind throwing away! After it was over, we had free time until the bus pickup, and we had a light snack at the cafeteria. They had various options like hot dogs and hamburgers.
There are lockers available, but they said cash wouldn't give change, so payment was by card. Only VISA or MasterCard could be used. I think the cafeteria also accepted only VISA or MasterCard!
Driving the buggy was easy! The scenery was beautiful, and there were many filming locations, making it a lot of fun!
曇りでしたが、広大な敷地でバギーを運転し、最高な経験になりました!2時間ですが、所々でバギーをとめて、写真時間がありました!2人で行きましたが、4回交代できたので2回ずつ運転することができました!
肌寒いかなと思ったので、Tシャツ+長ズボン+薄手のウィンドブレーカーみたいなものを羽織って行きました!日本人以外はほとんどTシャツ+短パンでした!
日本語が話せるスタッフがおらず、到着後の最初の説明から最後まで、全て英語だったので、わからないことも多々ありましたが、バギーの運転の前には、日本語の説明ビデオが見られたので安心しました!
送迎バスに乗る前にパスポートを提示し、バギー運転前に日本の免許証を提示しました。
ヘルメットとゴーグルは貸してくれました!6台くらいで連なって走行するので、前のバギーの砂埃が直撃して、顔は真っ黒になります(笑)口元を覆えるような、マスクやバンダナみたいなものがあると良いかもしれません。バギー終了後に、備え付けの水道で、なんとなく砂埃は落とせますが、クレンジングがないと、3割くらいしか落ちないので、お化粧しないほうがいいかも、、笑 途中の写真Timeも真っ黒な顔だったので、ある意味いい思い出になりました!笑
洋服も砂埃で茶色くなるので、捨てても大丈夫なような洋服がいいかもしれないです!
終わった後はバスのお迎えまで自由時間で、カフェテリアで軽食を食べました。ホットドッグやハンバーガーなど色々あります。
ロッカーもありますが、キャッシュはお釣りがでないとのことで、カード支払いでした。VISAかMasterしか使えないです。カフェテリアもVISAかMasterだった気がします!
バギーの運転は簡単でした!とても景色もいいし、映画の撮影場所が多く、楽しかったです!
The guides were fun and knowledgeable about the ranch. It’s a beautiful place. I wish the goggles had worked a little better and maybe a couple more stops to look at things. Over all was great and would love to do a couple other things there.
We had a wonderful experience with Tiana as our helicopter pilot. She was extremely skilled at flying and was a wealth of information regarding the areas we were flying over.
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
Aloha my Pearl Harbor tour was quite fantastic! We truly enjoyed the informational experience. It was a long day though.
First of all, I was surprised to see such a large river flowing in Hawaii (especially on the small island of Kauai). This tour has a history of 76 years, and I was moved to have a tour guide who is the granddaughter of the founder, Walter Smith. The atmosphere felt like a boat trip on the Amazon River, and I really enjoyed it. It was purely a river cruise (not going out to sea), and the boat didn't sway at all, so there was no seasickness. I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone, from small children to the elderly.
まず、ハワイに(しかも小さなカウアイ島に)こんなに大きな川が流れているのが驚きでした。このツアーは76年の歴史があるそうですが、創始者ウォルター・スミスの孫娘にあたる方がツアーガイドをしてくださり感動しました。雰囲気的にはアマゾン川を船旅してるような感じで、結構楽しめました。純粋に川だけのクルーズで(海には出ない)、船も全く揺れずに船酔いもありませんでした。小さな子供から高齢の方まで問題なく楽しめるツアーだとおもいます。
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
Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was a wonderful experience, blessed with great weather. The whales were far away, but we could see their tails and spouts. I later heard they were juvenile humpback whales. Overall, it was a pleasant cruising experience. I would have liked to see the dynamic adult whales a bit closer.
海上から見るワイキキ、ダイアモンドペット、
お天気にも恵まれ最高の時間でした。
クジラは遥か遠くでしたが尾びれや潮吹きも確認できました。あとから聞いたら子供のザトウクジラだそう。ともかく気持ちの良いクルージングでした。もう少し近くでダイナミックな親クジラもみたかったです。
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 look forward to welcoming you again.
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。
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
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.
この度ツアーを楽しんで頂けた様ですね、大変嬉しく思います。ご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
The sea was crystal clear and there were lots of fish!
I had a great time with SUP and canoeing.
It was nice to have snacks and Hawaiian music as well.
The bumper tube ride was intense and really fun.
海が透き通っていてお魚も沢山!
SUPやカヌーもできてとても楽しかったです。
軽食やハワイアンミュージックもあってよかった
バンパーチューブが激しくてとても楽しかったです。
Thank you for sharing your review and photos. We appreciate your participation in the tour! From all of us at KBOS.
レビュー&写真も共有いただきありがとうございます。ツアーご参加ありがとうございました! KBOS スタッフ一同
I was looking forward to visiting the filming location since I had been watching Jurassic Park! It was a lot of fun to see the scenery that appeared in the movie.
ジュラシックパークを観ていたのでその撮影地ということで楽しみにしていました!
映画で出ていた景色もあってとても楽しかったです。
The scenery at Kualoa Ranch was amazing! We stopped at photo spots and were able to take commemorative pictures. Two hours felt a bit long. It was fun to go through the river!
クアロアランチの景色が最高でした!
写真スポットでとまってくれて記念撮影できました。
2時間は少し長く感じました。
川を通ったりするのは楽しかったです!
It was held inside the hotel.
They welcomed us with leis, and it was a fun time.
The food was also very filling, and the show was impressive.
ホテル内で開催されていました。
レイでお出迎えしてくれて楽しいひと時。
ご飯もボリューム満点でショーも見応えがあった。
Kualoa Ranch has an amazing location! The ocean and mountains were incredibly beautiful. The two hours felt a bit long, but it was fun.
クアロアランチはロケーションも最高!
海や山がめちゃくちゃ綺麗でした。
2時間は少し長く感じましたが楽しかったです。
From around 10 AM to about 3 or 4 PM, not all the water slides were operating. It seemed like they were only open from 1 PM, possibly due to a lack of staff. Considering the high price we paid, it was quite disappointing. I don't think I'll go again next time.
10時くらいから3時か4時くらいまでで、
ウォータースライダーも全てがやってるわけではなく、午後1時からとか従業員がいないせいか
やったりやらなかったりで高いお金出してるわりには散々でした
次はもう行かないと思います
Aloha Yuki,
I am truly sorry for disappointing you. I have checked the operations since the day you visited. Indeed, on Friday, January 6th, there were fewer guests in the park, which led to some attractions being on rotation. On days like this, when the park is less crowded, the wait times are shorter, allowing guests to enjoy the attractions multiple times compared to busier days.
We will strive to improve the rotation in the future. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Jan
アロハ ユッキー様、
お客様をがっかりさせてしまい、心が痛いです。お客様のお越しいただいた日からオペレーションを確認させて頂きました。確かに1月6日金曜日は園内のお客様の数が少なかった為、ローテーションをしているアトラクションがございました。このようにローテーションを取る日は園内がすいており、混んでいる日から比べると待ち時間も少なく何回もアトラクションが出来るようになっております。
この先ローテーションの改善に尽くさせて頂きます。
申し訳ご座いませんでした。

The staff was absolutely fantastic. It was the first tour of the new year, and the weather was perfect! The hamburgers were delicious, and it was a unique experience that you can't find elsewhere. I highly recommend it for those who are inexperienced.
スタッフが最高に楽しかったです。新年1回目のツアーだったらしく、天候も最高!ハンバーガーも美味しくて他では味わえない楽しみでした。
未経験の方は絶対オススメです。
This is my second time participating, but unfortunately, I was quite busy and got seasick on the boat before we even reached the open water. Even at 150 meters out to sea, I couldn't enjoy the scenery, and I ended up looking much paler than the blue waters of Waikiki... Next time, I will definitely take motion sickness medication and give it another try.
今回2回目の参加ですが、
あいにくバタバタしていて、沖に出るまでのボートで酔ってしまいました。
150メートルの海上でも、景色を楽しめるはずもなく、ワイキキの海より
真っ青な顔のまま終わってしまい・・・。次回は必ず酔い止め飲んで挑戦します。
My wife and I enjoyed ourselves on the Sunset Dinner cruise. Have a fabulous time. Enjoyed the sunset and show.
We went snorkeling around the sandbar and enjoyed various marine activities in the shallow waters. It was safe and fun! We also got to see three sea turtles swimming, which made us truly feel the essence of Hawaii.
The staff were very kind, and there was even a Japanese staff member who was attentive throughout our visit.
Thank you to all the staff! I especially recommend this for families with children.
サンドバー周辺をシュノーケリングし、浅瀬では様々なマリンアクティビティ。安全で楽しく遊ぶことができました。また、ウミガメの泳ぐ姿(3頭)も見ることができ、ハワイを実感しました。
スタッフの方がとても親切。日本人スタッフの方もいて、終始、気を使っていただきました。
スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!
子連れの方には特におすすめです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with your children. Please do join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you again.
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。
お子様と一緒にツアーを楽しんで頂けた様で嬉しく思います。
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。
My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.
Michael Jackson was terrible.
He was overweight, danced poorly, and lip-synced.
I wonder what he was trying to do—was there a lack of talent?
There was no emotion or satisfaction.
マイケルジャクソン酷過ぎ
太めで、ダンスが下手で口パク
何がしたいのだろう 人材不足?
感動も満足感もなし
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. I am confident that you enjoyed the Elvis performance, as well as the Hawaiian show and fire knife performances. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。エルビス、そして、ハワイアンショーやファイヤーナイフのパフォーマンスは楽しめたかと確信しております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
This was a great tour that I am really happy that I went on. Harrison was our guide and was informative and a super nice guy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to combine kayaking and hiking. The trail to get to the falls was a bit muddy but not too bad. The falls are very impressive. Lots of fun!
Aloha Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Harrison. Harrison continues be outstanding and we are all lucky
to have him share his “aloha”.
Stay well and active.
A hui hou,
Micco/Head Guide
I was able to enjoy various marine sports in one day!
During parasailing, I got to enjoy the beautiful sea and scenery of Hawaii!
As a note, I thought I wasn't very prone to motion sickness, but I ended up feeling nauseous during parasailing.
Make sure to take motion sickness medication in advance and have a light breakfast!
Thank you!
一日でいろいろなマリンスポーツを楽しむことが出来ました!
パラセーリングはハワイの綺麗な海と景色を楽しむことができました!
注意事項として
自分はそこまで酔いに弱くはないと思っていましたが、パラセーリングの時に酔ってしまいました。
事前に酔い止めを飲むことと、朝ごはんは少なめにしましょう!
ありがとうございます!
It was a wonderful show.
The performance was amazing, and of course, the singing and dancing were top-notch.
It was a fusion of hula and rock.
素晴らしいショーでした。
演奏も素晴らしく、勿論歌やダンスも最高でした。
フラとロックの融合です。
Thank you very much for attending the Rockafella Rockin' Show. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はロッカフラ ロッキンショーにご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Me and my partner had a great time. Staff was great and informative. My partner must learn to kayak bad work with me. A great team building excercise. I of course made no errors and had to correct the many errors of my partner . Thank you for a fun time.
Aloha Roman! 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! Those tandem kayaks certainly are a team building, relationship counseling type of activity for sure! Glad to hear you and your partner had a great time, and we hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
Good time! This was my first Luau, and it was very enjoyable. Very professional establishment and they put the dinner and show on without a glitch.
