Hawaii
The meal service, the taste of the food, and to top it off the liveliness throughout the entire evening. This is something you will not want to miss on Oahu!!!
It was a first for me and just spectacular! The view amazing from above and I loved the few ocean dunks :) Great customer service from start to finish. When my daughter and I checked in we were greeted with Aloha and a smile and the rest of the experience was all about the Aloha! Big Mahalo to Captain & Russell!
The short trip from Lahaina to Lanai was beautiful. The ferry was punctual, clean, and efficiently run by the crew. We will take the ferry again on our next visit to Lanai.
The tour was excellent even if the surf had made the water a little cloudy. The guides were excellent and knowledgeable.
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Glass Bottom Boat Cruise. We're so happy to read that despite the surf conditions, you enjoyed the trip and the service and information provided by our crew (and got to see that honu feeding).
We know there are a lot of activities on the Big Island and we're honored you chose to spend part of your morning with us.
Mahalo and a hui hou
We loved this tour - being on the summit was amazing. You can always tell when your guide is excellent and passionate about what they are speaking about. Maka was amazing and knowledgeable not only of Mauna Kea and the surrounding areas but you could tell he loved astronomy. Highly recommend this and I’d we come back again we will try to time it in the summer on a new moon to see even more.
Super competent captain and crew who were helpful with gear, getting on/off the boat, assisting those who were uncomfortable once in the water. The manta viewing was amazing, close up and continuous. Our guide provided background information on the mantas. Several other species of smaller fish were present also. Definitely recommend this activity!
loved the crew and got to see a bunch of whales, have a few drinks, and views of Maui were amazing
we absolutely loved our tour guide Dez. hike through jungle was beautiful and we learned a ton as well. Dez picked different fruits and berries we could try from the trees and we jumped from waterfalls - fantastic time!
great to see Molokini - the harbor was a bit far from where we were staying - and the boat was really big - might choose to go on a catamaran next time. food was good and the crew added an educational element to the excursion. second snorkeling spot was ok - overall a great day
A very clean ferry with friendly crew! Very well organised despite Lahaina harbour often being hectic. The staff were nice and helpful and the trip over was smooth with a GORGEOUS sunrise!!
I participated with a friend. In the group lesson, there were four students per teacher, but they helped us catch a lot of waves. I was very satisfied. The teaching style was interesting, and since there were people who could speak Japanese, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience.
友達と2人で参加しました。グループレッスンで1人の先生につき4人でしたが、たくさん波に乗せてくれます。大満足でした。教え方も面白くて、日本語を話せる方もいらっしゃったのでリラックスして参加できました。
We booked the tour because we know sandbar might be suitable for kids' water activity. While checking-in and boarding, we had such great and warm welcome by the staff. As we got to sandbar, the view was amazing! Since we have two seniors with us, the staff helped them get on the kayaks and walked them to see around. We really appreciated them doing so.
We also saw sea turtles while snorkeling, which was quite an unforgettable experience. We also did SUP, kayak and my kids were having a really great time! The staff would also constantly remind us not going too far due to possible danger. Staff are super nice and friendly.I recommend families with young kids or seniors this tour. It did leave us good memories in this trip.
Boat with 360 degree view maybe a platform on top would have added to the experience. The sound system could have been better to include outside watchers.
Although it was supposed to be a shuttle service in the photos, a Charlie Taxi actually arrived. I had seen other reviews mentioning that a taxi came, and the driver clearly said my name, which was reassuring. However, if someone didn't know this, they might think a bus would come, which could be a bit scary. I was a little anxious about the meter running and whether a tip was expected since it was a taxi, but there was no payment required upon getting off.
Since I used it alone, it was cheaper than taking a taxi directly to the airport, which was great. The driver was friendly, which made me feel at ease.
When you enter your flight details at the time of booking the transfer, it determines the pickup time, so you don't have to worry about when to leave for the airport. It departs about an hour earlier than if you were to go on your own, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who want to stay until the last minute. For two or more people, a flat-rate taxi is cheaper.
I definitely recommend this service for anyone traveling to the airport alone!
写真では送迎シャトルですが、実際にはチャーリータクシーが来ました。他の方のクチコミでタクシーが来たと言うのを見ていたのと、運転手が私の名前をしっかりと言ってくださったので良かったですが、何も知らなければバスが来ると思っているので、少し怖いかなと思いました。メーターが動いていたり、タクシーなのでチップいるかな?と少し不安でしたが、降車時の支払いはありませんでした。
1人で利用しましたので、実際にタクシーを利用するよりも安く空港まで行けたので良かったです。運転手の方も気さくで安心しました。
飛行機の予約を送迎の予約時に入れると、迎えの時間が決まるので、空港に行く時間を考えなくて良いです。1時間ほど、自分で行くよりも早めに出発することになるので、ギリギリまで滞在したい人にはオススメしません。2人以上の利用は定額のタクシーの方が安いです。
1人で空港まで行く方には、是非利用して欲しいです!
The staff was fun, helpful and made the experience very relaxing. Would recommend this excursion to all.
Thank you so much for joining us! We hope to see you again in the near future. Aloha!
Colins was very knowledgeable and friendly with our group. Always offering answers to any question that came his way.
Jarrin and Ethan were fabulous. The beauty and history of the valley were amazing
This tour is one of the most interesting and enjoyable activity one can take while on the island of Maui. The tour includes the Ferry from Lahaina Harbor to the Island of Lana’i. Once there we were greeted by our tour guide Bruce and off we went in a Chevrolet Suburban. Bruce was so knowledgeable and shared his experiences living on the island.
He shared the history of the island as well as the myths of the gods in the valley of the gods. We were able to see the entire island which has so many different highlights.
This was our second time we have taken this tour and I would highly recommend it for everyone. There is so much to see. A real gem. .
Kualoa Ranch is BEAUTIFUL! Our ATV ride was so much fun! Our guides Louie and Precious made the ride a memorable experience by telling us stories and the history of the local area. They were so kind and took us through the most beautiful landscape of the ranch with many fun stops along the way! I HIGHLY recommend the ATV experience to every visitor of Oahu!
All of my expectations were delivered. Everything I imagined the Luau would be or could be was beyond my dreams. The staff was wonderful, the waiters were attentive and friendly. There will definitely be a next time to the island. The acknowledgment of birthdays, anniversaries and honeymooners was a joy to see. I met one of the birthday girls and a newly married couple it was a pleasure to celebrate with them all. ALOHA!!
Looking at past reviews, there weren't many positive comments, but I had heard that due to the effects of global warming and the timing of low tides, the sandy beach might not appear recently, so I wasn't disappointed at all.
More importantly, the sea was incredibly beautiful, and my one-year-old child was thrilled! We even got to see sea turtles while snorkeling, which was so exciting! There were many guides who spoke Japanese, so I felt completely at ease. They were very kind, teaching us various things and supporting my child's beach experience. The photos taken in the midst of the mountains and the sea were absolutely wonderful. I definitely want to go again!
過去のレビューを見ると、あんまり良い事書いてなかったのですが、そもそも最近は温暖化影響や干潮タイミングで砂浜が現れないと聞いてたんで、全然がっかりしませんでした。
それよりもとてもキレイな海で1歳の子供も大喜びでした!またシュノーケリングではウミガメも見れて、大興奮でした!日本語ができるガイドさんがたくさんいるので、不安もなく、むしろいろいろと教えてくださったり、子供の海水浴をサポートしてくれたり、とても優しかったです!山々と海という大自然の中で撮った写真もとってもステキでした。絶対また行きたいです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed encounters with sea turtles and snorkeling experiences with your children. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos as well. Please join us again when you come back 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。ウミガメとの出会いやシュノーケリング体験などお子様と共に楽しんでいただいたようでとても嬉しいです。綺麗なお写真のシェアもありがとうございます。またハワイにお越しの際は、是非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。
This a must do activity. Since Dec to Mar is mating season, they guarantee you sights of whale or will offer you another trip.
Those whales are majestic to watch. The views of west Oahu from the boat were treat to our eyes. I haven’t seen a landscape that beautiful. The good part is our boat was NOT overcrowded at all. The boat also had net at the front where you can sit. Its an amazing experience to feel the ocean waves so close.
The staff was super nice and fun. We were late by 3 mins and still they were courteous and waited for us. The music on boat is fun and the crew will keep entertaining you with the Hawaii'an language to call out whales and also jokes!! They were also helpful in clicking pictures for us. We even managed to get a pic with whale's tail in the background!!!
They offer 1 free drink per person (alcoholic/non-alcoholic) and a snack too :). I would suggest not to drink while on boat if you have a motion sickness. We had US COVID vaccination card so weren't required to take a COVID test. Please check with COVID requirements before booking.
We are so glad that we booked this during our trip to Oahu. With so much to do, we weren't sure if we were making a mistake committing an entire morning to one activity, but we would absolutely do this over again. Doug, Natalie, and Nicole were an awesome crew, striking the perfect balance of fun and informative. We saw quite a few whales while still getting to enjoy the beautiful morning on the catamaran.
Our group had a phenomenal time for the sunset cruise in Kona. Captain Dave and Chelsea were fantastic. Great photographers and a wealth of knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed the total experience. It was very relaxing, the cool breezes and we saw schools of multiple spinner dolphins, which made it thoroughly fantastic! Thank you!!!
Cody, tour guide, provided a wealth of historical and current information about Kauai’s development.
Safety was a big concern as two others with our group provided this. There were 5 tunnels.
I would suggest that your neck could be impacted, so you should make time to relax the neck, clasped with your hands behind your neck, when opportunity arises.
Attire is basic swim shorts, t shirt, and water tubbies.
Refunds for 3 of our travelers is being processed, so this is a bonus, as most activities will not offer a full refund on the portion not used.
Great crew and fantastic experience! We arrived early and were able to catch the next boat ahead of schedule. Our captain flew us over a humpback whale and her baby and we were able to see them breach from above! Can't wait to come back : ) Thanks guys!
Excellent good beautiful clean organized pilot was very knowledgeable
The manta rays were inches from us, and all four in our group had an exceptional time. The guides were knowledgeable and really added to the experience. Highly recommend.
The submarine scooter experience was amazing. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. We saw some sea turtles floating in the water and when we went into the sub scooters a whole bunch of fish were around us. Incredible experience!
The staff was super nice and the equipment in good shape. They provided a waterproof map and told us the best spots to snorkel and maybe see turtles. We saw turtles and lots of fish! One note; When I booked the Yak Pack tour I was told it was thirty minutes to the sandbar. When I got there I learned it was actually more like 45 minutes. So that would take a good bit of our four hours. We wanted to snorkel too so we kayaked and snorkeled and didn’t make it to the sandbar which was just fine. Loved it. Brought snacks and drinks. Had a picnic on the kayak.
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such awesome feedback and pictures of your experience. All very good feedback, and we really appreciate that a lot. Stoked to hear it sounds like you had a great kayak and snorkel experience with us. And even though you didn't go to the sandbar, the other areas you went to are definitely better snorkeling areas. The sandbar is just a longer paddle, but you'll have to come back and kayak out to the sandbar next time! Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
