Hawaii
The staff were cheerful and it was a lot of fun! SUP and kayaking in such beautiful scenery was the best! Snorkeling was also amazing, as I saw large fish and colorful fish that left me in awe! It became a very enjoyable memory!
とにかくスタッフの方々が明るく楽しかったです!とても綺麗な景色の中でのsupやカヤック最高です!Snorkelingも大きい魚や、色鮮やかな魚たちが見えて感動でした!とても楽しい思い出になりました!
Aloha MM,
Thank you for participating in the sandbar tour with KBOS. We are delighted to receive your 5-star review along with beautiful photos. We're glad you were able to see many fish in the snowy forest.
We look forward to your next participation.

In a vacation packed with tours to make the most of our time in Hawaii, Dan has stood out as the best guide. He was excellent communicating with us prior to our tour, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the day. There were young kids on our tour and I observed that he was particularly attentive to their safety. Most importantly, he helped us create one of our most beautiful memories of this special place. Mahalo, Dan!
Thank you guys. Hope we see you again. Dan
It was a small group tour with only three groups. We were able to see dolphin spins and sea turtles, and it seemed like we snorkeled in a different location than usual, which was a valuable experience. I was especially glad to see the sea turtles up close. Our Japanese guide, Minako, was particularly attentive, which was very reassuring. Thank you very much.
3グループのみの少人数のツアーになりました。イルカのスピンやウミガメを見ることができ、シュノーケリングもいつもと違う場所でさせていただいたようで、貴重な体験でした。特にウミガメは近くでも見ることができてよかったです。日本語ガイドのミナコさんには特に気にかけていただき、大変心強かったです。ありがとうございました。
I'm glad I took motion sickness medication after reading the reviews. There were times when the vertical swaying was so strong that I felt like I might get sick even with the medication, so I think it
レビューを読んで酔い止めを飲んでいって正解でした。縦揺れが強い時は薬を飲んでいても酔いそうになったので、飲んでいなかったら危なかったと思います。
Aloha! Thank you, Akira, for participating in the Dolphin University. It must have been a precious experience to see the dolphins spinning against the beautiful backdrop of West Oahu. I'm glad to hear you were able to see the sea turtles up close. Thank you also for your comments about our Japanese guide, Minako. It will be encouraging for her. It's always reassuring to take motion sickness medication. Please join us again next time you come to Hawaii! Our crew will do our best to ensure you have a wonderful encounter with the dolphins! Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! AKIRA様。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。西オアフの美しい景色をバックにスピンするイルカを見るのは貴重な体験になりますよね。ウミガメを近くで見ることができた、とお聞きし嬉しく思います。また、日本語ガイドのミナコに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ミナコにとって励みになります。酔い止めは飲んでおくと安心ですよね。次回ハワイにいらっしゃるときには是非またご参加くださいね!クルー一同、全力でイルカ達と出会えるようにがんばります!Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I was an English driver, and it was helpful that they tried to communicate using tools like Google Translate. Since we had five hours, we could snorkel for quite a long time. My husband didn't apply sunscreen because he thought it would wash off anyway, and he ended up with a terrible sunburn the next day, so I recommend taking proper precautions. (There is an announcement to use reef-safe sunscreen.)
英語ドライバーでしたが、
Google翻訳などを使って伝えようとしてくれて助かりました。
5時間あるのでかなり長時間シュノーケリングができます。
夫が日焼け止めはどうせながれるからとぬらなかったら、翌日酷く日焼けして大変だったので、しっかり対策することをおすすめします。(リーフセーフの日焼け止めにするようにアナウンスがあります)
The date and time we used was not during low tide, but the shallow areas allowed us to stand, and they provided life jackets, so we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind.
Above all, a Japanese guide accompanied us throughout the experience (the driver was not Japanese, but spoke Japanese very well!), so it was reassuring to have a Japanese guide after the English guide from the leader.
Even if you can't swim, the Japanese guide pulls you along with something like a float, so as long as you hold on to that, you can calmly take in the sights of the corals, fish, and sea turtles underwater, for which I am grateful. 🐢🤿
Drinks and snacks on the boat were free, and the spam was one per person, but it was incredibly delicious!
私たちの利用した日時はthe干潮ってわけではなかったですが、浅瀬は足が付いて、ライフジャケットも貸し出してくれるので安心して楽しめました。
何より、日本人ガイドが体験中終始(送迎の運転手は日本人ではなかったけど日本語お上手!)付き添ってくれるので、リーダーの方の英語ガイドの後に日本語ガイドをしてくれて安心でした。
泳げなくても、日本人ガイドさんが浮き輪みたいなものを持ちながら引っ張ってくれるので、それに捕まっていれば水中の珊瑚やお魚、ウミガメの様子も落ち着いて目に焼き付けることが出来て感謝しています🐢🤿
船内の飲み物とお菓子類はフリーで、スパムはひとりひとつでしたが最高に美味しかったです!
It's generally recommended to prepare about $20 per person for tips (though it's not mandatory), as this can make things smoother.
おおよそチップは1人20ドル(強制ではないです)なので、その準備があるとスムーズかと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き本当にありがとうございました。
天国の海でまたお会いできる日をウミガメともにお待ちしております。A hui hou!
I have a bit of a fear of heights, but I decided to make a reservation to enjoy the beautiful scenery. I was worried about whether I would understand the instructions, but the instructors were very friendly and communicated with me in simple English, so it wasn't a problem. I don't usually experience motion sickness, but after reading other people's experiences, I took some motion sickness medication just in case. The boat rocked more than I expected, so I was glad I took it. I asked for photos to be taken at the reception, and after the experience, I received the data and an SD card. The photos captured my surprised face when we took off and my happy face as I was immersed in the sea, and I’m glad I purchased them. Floating gently, I was able to slowly admire the beautiful sea and Diamond Head; it was a very beautiful and wonderful experience.
高所恐怖症気味ですが、せっかくのきれいな景色でと思い切って予約しました。説明など理解できるか不安でしたが、インストラクターの方々も感じ良く、簡単な英語のみでコミュケーション取っていただけるので問題ありませんでした。乗り物酔いはほとんど経験がないですが、他の方の体験記を読んで念のため酔い止めを飲みました。船が思った以上に揺れるので、飲んでよかったです。受付の際に写真撮影をお願いし、終わってからデータとSDカードを頂きました。飛び立つ際のびっくりした顔や海に浸かる瞬間の楽しそうな顔が写真に残り、購入してよかったです。ふわふわと浮かびながら、きれいな海やダイヤモンドヘッドをゆっくりと眺めることができ、とても美しくて素敵な体験でした。
I had seen Cirque du Soleil in Japan, so I participated because I heard it could be seen in Hawaii as well. It was compactly organized, but I enjoyed it from start to finish with a Hawaiian flair. This time I watched from the front row, but since the venue isn't that large, I thought it might be nice to sit in the back row next time to get a better overall view.
日本でシルク・ド・ソレイユを観たとがあったので、ハワイでも観られるとの事で参加しました。
コンパクトにまとめられていますがハワイらしい演出で最初から最後まで楽しめました。
今回は前列で観ましたが会場はそれほど広くないので次回、機会があれば全体を見渡せられる後列でもいいかなあと思いました。
I thought it would be good to have a light jacket since the venue is quite cold with the air conditioning.
会場は冷房がかなり効いているので羽織り物があるといいと思いました。
We’ve done a few ziplines in other states and I can say this was one of the best. David and BoBo were fun, friendly and professional. They made our experience a memorable one.
Incredible! The blue sea and the breathtaking panorama! I think it's something everyone should experience at least once! I want to experience it again next year.
とにかくすごい!の一言
青い海と絶景パノラマです!
1度は体験すべきだと思います!
来年もまた体験したいと思います。
I have a fear of heights, so I was moved by the beautiful scenery more than I was scared!
自分は高所恐怖症なので、怖い以上に美しい絶景に感動しました!
The sea was murky and the visibility wasn't great, but it was amazing to see the underwater world that you can't usually experience. It seems the visibility is better in the morning. I wasn't sure when to start the Japanese guide, so if you could make that clearer, I think it would enhance the experience even more.
海が濁っており透明度は今一でしたが、普段体験できない海の中を見る事ができ最高でした。
午前中の方が透明度が高いようです。
日本語のガイドをスタートさせるタイミングが分からなかったので分かるようにしていただけるともっと楽しめると思います。
The morning is recommended.
午前中がおすすめです。
We had a group of 6 adults who all had a great time. The staff were friendly and helpful. One female employee was extra helpful to my 83 year old uncle. The boat is nice and not too crowded with guests. We had a gorgeous day so our pics were beautiful in the clear, blue water. We had plenty of time to use the paddle boards and snorkel. The snorkeling was ok. The reef seems like it is dead. We saw a couple of turtles and small fish but not the best snorkeling I have done. We brought our own alcohol and the staff gave us some ice. Snacks were ok but I think for the price - lunch should be provided. It was one of our most expensive excursions. It was good transportation was included but we did have a rental car. The boats have bins to keep your belongings dry and safe. Bring a water proof cell phone case to take water / snorkel pics. Bring towels and sunscreen. It was nice to have a bathroom on board too. Music was playing but it was not a party vibe.
Bring water proof cell phone case and towels.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review and the beautiful photo!
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. It means a lot! A hui hou🌺
The checkin was a huge line but the welcome drinks made it up. We booked the floor seating and had good view. The entire dance portion was very interesting, new and got to learn few things of their culture. Talented dancers and singers.
We had few options in food as we do not eat some meat, hance requested for extra bread. The waiter seemed to be very busy that he could not provide us our requests few times after acknowledging it. We were family of four ( 2 teenagers) and were seated with a couple on our table. They got the same portion food as us. That seemed unfair. Over all it felt a little bit pricy if do not eat all the meat options. And wished we had more choices to eat.
I couldn't speak English at all, but I imagined that the people I toured with felt the same way as I did, and it was enjoyable.
I was really happy to stop by the gift shop at the end! Thank you very much! 🙏
英語は全く話せませんでしたが
一緒にツアーを回った方達も
きっと気持ちは私と同じなんだろうなと
想像出来、楽しかったです。
グッズショップも最後に寄って頂き
本当に嬉しかったです!!
ありがとうございました🙏
Clothes, shoes, and bags that can get dirty are essential. Since we were in a car, we could place the bags on the seat, but sand flew in while driving, so they got dirty. The reception and facility explanations were in Japanese, but during the buggy ride, the guide's explanations were in English. I didn't translate, but I understood the guide's explanations to some extent, and they asked if I wanted to take photos, so I was able to take a lot of pictures.
汚れてもいい服、靴、カバンは必須です。
車なのでカバンはシートの上に置けますが、走行中に砂が飛んでくるので汚れます。
受付や施設の説明は日本語でしたが、バギーの最中にガイドさんの説明は英語でした。
翻訳はしませんでしたが、ガイドさんの説明は何となく分かり、写真撮ろうか?と声をかけてくれるので、写真もたくさん撮っていただきました。
It's recommended to either store your luggage in a locker or travel light.
荷物はロッカーに預けるか、少なめで行くのがオススメです。
You can see shipwrecks and airplanes, which is great for those who are not confident in snorkeling, as it allows you to safely view the seabed. You can also see fish clearly, and if you're lucky, you might spot sea turtles or sharks. No matter which side you sit on, the boat turns alternately, so you can get a good view of the shipwrecks and other sights!
沈没船や、飛行機を見ることが出来て、シュノーケリングに自信が無い方には安全に海底を見れるのでいいと思います。
魚もしっかり見れ、運が良ければウミガメやサメも見ることができます。
左右どちらに座っても、交互にターンしてくれるのでしっかり沈没船等は見ることが出来ました!
We only found out about this tour because we knew a local person. There’s no sign at the road near the bay as to where to turn or park. Parking cost $38 in the public beach parking area. Once you get to the parking lot, there’s no sign as to where the boat is docked or where the kiosk for the tour company is. One girl working the kiosk told us that they didn’t offer glass bottom boat tours; the kiosk name matched our reservation. The website is very unfriendly. The tour guide was good but the captain could go a bit slower when over a reef so that we unfamiliar with it can focus our eyes to see the fish.
Be prepared for wading in the water to board the boat.
Aloha,
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your experiences with us. We're sorry you found us difficult to find -- we aren't allowed to post signage so we do the best we can with our emailed and texted directions, and our reservationists are standing by the phone lines to help with those last minute directions too. The public parking lot at the south end of the beach is still free...but parking a bit closer at the Lava Lava restaurant will incur fees.
We're also sorry you found the website difficult to navigate (not sure if you're referring to Veltra's website or our own website) -- we encourage anyone with issues to contact us directly by phone or email.
We'll pass your feedback on to our captain regarding the boat's speed, and we're also investigating the issue where you were told we don't operate Glass Bottom Boat Cruises.
We appreciate your comments.
Mahalo for joining us!
Dinner tasted great. Portions were on the small side. Firework show was good, but everyone crowded to one side and it was harder to find a space to look. Lots of people, but still romantic.
I watched from a Category 1 seat, and luckily, I was seated next to the Grand Circle. It was a truly wonderful experience and a great memory. However, the venue was very cold due to the air conditioning, so I brought a blanket with me, just in case. The venue isn't very large, so I think you can enjoy it from any seat, even from the back.
カテゴリー1の席で観ましたが運良くグランドサークルの隣の席でした。大変素晴らしく良い思い出になりました。ただ会場は冷房ですごく、冷えているので私は膝掛けを持っていきました。なんとなく予感で。会場もそんなに広くはないので後ろでも、どの席でも、楽しめると思います。
The venue is quite cold, so it's best to wear warm clothing inside. There were quite a few people who went to the restroom during the event. There is no break, and it lasts for an hour and a half.
会場冷え冷えなので中では暖かい服装がよいです。途中でトイレに行ってる人が結構いましたよ。休憩はなく1時間半です。
It was fun! The service was great and I was excited! I want to improve my English skills and try again! There were surprises along the way! The scenery was amazing, and the guide was kind. I definitely recommend experiencing this when you go to Hawaii.
楽しかった!サービスもよくエキサイトしました!
もっと英語力付けてリベンジしたいです!
途中サプライズもあったりして!
景色はサイコーだしガイドさんも親切で、ハワイに行ったらぜひ体験してほしいです。
I was bitten by a mosquito.
蚊に刺されました
The best thing we did in Hawaii. The manta rays were so close & there were so many. Cannot recommend enough.
We participated in two activities, banana boat and bumper tube, with six people. Despite not speaking any English, the staff at the center used a translation app and were always smiling and kind, which we really appreciated. Both the banana boat and bumper tube were more exciting than we imagined, and we had a lot of fun! I did end up with sore muscles from the bumper tube, but it’s a good memory.
It became a wonderful page of fun memories in Hawaii.
バナナボートとバンパーチューブの2種類のアクティビティを6人で申込み参加させて頂きました。
英語を全く話せない中、センターの受付けの方も翻訳アプリを使用し、終始笑顔で優しく対応してくださり有り難かったです。
バナナボートもバンパーチューブも想像以上にエキサイティングで、とてもテンションも上がり楽しかったです!バンパーチューブで筋肉痛にはなりましたが笑これも良い思い出です。
ハワイでの楽しい素敵な想い出の1ページになりました。
The bumper tube tends to splash water on your face, so I think it's a good idea to have goggles. Also, I recommend being prepared for muscle soreness, haha.
バンパーチューブは顔に水しぶきがかかりやすいので、ゴーグルがあると良いかと思います。あとは筋肉痛を覚悟しておく事をオススメします笑
Kool show super packed parking was crazy I recommend parking off site because 200 people plus a fishing tournament and whatever else is happening in the area leaving at the same time it took 45 min just to get out of the parking lot.
If parking is limited something else is going on in the area leaving will be not fun
I participated in a fishing tour six years ago and joined again after a long time. Unlike six years ago, services such as transportation, light snacks (I can't say for sure if drinks were provided, but I feel like there were some), and grilling the caught fish on-site to enjoy together have disappeared. Because of that, I thought I would be happy if I could catch even one fish. In the end, I didn't catch a single fish, but it didn't seem like the people around me were catching many either, so it might have just been a bad day. It felt more like a pleasant cruise with a view of Diamond Head. 😂
6年前にも参加して、久しぶりにまたフィッシングツアーに参加しました。
6年前と違い、送迎、軽食(ドリンクはあったか定かではないですがあったような気がします)、釣れたお魚をその場で焼いてみんなでいただく、などのサービスはなくなっていて、だからこそ、1匹でも釣れたらうれしいなと思いました。
結果は1匹も釣れずに終わりましたが、なかなか、周りの方もどんどん釣れている感じはなかったので、日が悪かったのかもしれません。
ダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらの景色のよいクルージングという感じでした😂
Please be sure to take motion sickness medication before participating.
ぜひ、酔い止めを内服してご参加くださいませ。
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. I sincerely appreciate your return after six years and am glad to hear that you enjoyed the cruise and the beautiful views of Diamond Head.
I apologize for hearing that your experience did not meet expectations in terms of catching fish. Fishing can be unpredictable and sometimes a matter of luck. Regardless of how many fish were caught, we always strive to provide a memorable experience for everyone. Thank you for your understanding.
Regarding the local preparation of fish, regulations have changed, and we are working to revive this service as soon as we have the necessary certifications and preparations in place!
I hope to see you again in the future. Next time, luck may be on your side! Thank you once again for your honest review.
時間を割いて詳細なフィードバックを共有していただき、ありがとうございます。6年後の再訪に心から感謝し、クルーズとダイヤモンドヘッドの美しい景色を楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。
今回、あなたの経験が魚を捕まえるという点で期待に応えられなかったと聞いて申し訳ありません。釣りは予測不可能であり、時には運の問題であることもあります。たくさんの魚を釣ったかどうかにかかわらず、私たちは常にすべての人に思い出に残る経験を提供することを目指しています。ご理解いただきありがとうございます。
魚の現地調理に関しては、規制が変更され、認証と準備が整い次第、このサービスを復活させようとしています!
将来またお会いできることを願っています。次回は幸運がお味方になるかもしれません!正直なレビューに改めて感謝します。
We come back often from California and always have a luau at the Hilton . It’s fun, great story telling. Great performances and food! Highly recommend
Nothing more than show up and enjoy the show
This was a relaxing trip with my family to snorkel and see the sea turtles by boat. I would recommend to anyone looking to venture out by boat.
bring towels and sunscreen.
show was great
service was nice
drinks were on the watered down side
food was acceptable but not the greatest ever - buffet style
seating is outdoors, some shade and gets better once the sun sets
I made a reservation for Wednesday after the park's closure, but I was really disappointed by the lack of fish. However, since both the ocean and the beach are beautiful, I think it’s worth going if you focus on enjoying the beautiful sea.
休園日後の水曜日に予約したのですが…凄く魚が少なくて残念でした。
ただ海もビーチも綺麗なので『綺麗な海を楽しむ』をメインにすると行く価値があるかと思います。
I think it's a good idea to bring hot water in a thermos because it's colder than I expected.
思った以上に寒いので、ポットにお湯を持って行くと良いと思います。
The team is always doing a great job and provide a fantastic experience.
We had a good time bonding as a family, all the staff were very friendly and accommodating, even our bus transportation was smooth. We enjoyed most the banana boat ride and snorkeling. My husband took our video with a selfie stick while riding the banana boat and it was hilarious to watch all our faces! We went home with all smiles on our face. It’s worth what we paid for!
Take a selfie stick to take videos while riding the banana boat, but be careful no to drop it.
Aloha Ozzie,
Thank you for your 5-star review. We are so happy to hear you all enjoyed our tour very much.
We hope to see you all again soon.
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
I signed up with my grandparents in their 70s. One great point was that the admission fee for Diamond Head was included. It took about 20 minutes to get from the hotel to the Diamond Head parking lot, and it took about an hour to hike up and around 30 minutes to come back down, giving us plenty of time to look at souvenirs. We also enjoyed the driver explaining the sightseeing spots during the ride!
70代の祖父母と申し込みました。
ダイヤモンドヘッドの入場料込みなのも良い点でした。ホテルからダイヤモンドヘッドの駐車場まで20分程度で到着し、行きは1時間程度、帰りは30分程度で下山することができ、お土産を見る時間も十分ありました。
車中では、ドライバーの方が観光スポットの説明をしてくれたのも楽しめました!
I recommend that elderly individuals bring a cane!
高齢の方は杖を持っていくことをお勧めします!
