Hawaii
We loved every second of this tour. Finding the boat was easy. Staff was so nice and friendly. The whole experience is one we won’t forget!
Aloha Quincy, thank you so much for sharing your experience & gorgeous photos with us! We look forward to having you again onboard in the future. Mahalo!
Great experience!! The crew was AMAZING, they were so attentive to all the guest. This is a must experience. Highly recommend Four Winds.
Mahalo for the recommendation and for the review. We hope to see you again!
We did this tour as a couple who just wanted to see the island and this tour went above and beyond our expectations. Our guide, Kalani, was an experienced, funny, and overall great driver who took us to all the best spots in Oahu. This was our favorite thing we have done on our trip, I could not imagine coming to this island and NOT doing this tour. Starting the day with delicious malasadas, Kalani provides us with excellent service and knowledge about the history of the island. You HAVE to do this tour if you are coming to Oahu.
Very friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely do this again when we return to Oahu.
Highly recommended. Had a great time! We saw turtles and lots of fish!
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu. Kalani made this tour more fun and educational. He went above and beyond for his guests and did it all happily! This is a full day packed with lots of stops.
We did the 2 hour ATV tour and it was amazing! Hayden was our guide, he was really friendly and very knowledgeable not just about movie sets but the island itself. We had a blast we just wish we had known to bring goggles from the dust. At times it was very challenging to drive safely from all the dust of the ATVs ahead of us. Other than that it was great! Would definitely do again in a heartbeat!
Kevin was our guide for our two hour tour and he was great! He was very professional and made us feel at ease right away. We learned so much fun and had fun at the same time.
I cannot recommend this sunset cruise enough. The crew of Captain Kirk and staff were exceptional. During this cruise the vessel encored some mechanical issues, which promoted a slightly longer cruise. The crew were nothing short of professional and comforting in managing this issue, as well as utilizing exceptional skills in retuning the vessel to port. My only regret in not asking to crew what music we were listing to.
I was so excited for this tour especially for my 5 yrs old. For this I was so glad I didn’t go with a face full of make up or any nice clothes. You will be driving though the mountains in a single line probably behind another ATV. At the end I had dirt all over my clothes, my hair, and omg my face. I don’t mind I knew it was going to get dirty and my son loved it lol. What 5 yr old doesn’t like getting dirty right. We did stop a few times but we did drive pass some areas that I would liked to stop at. The views thought was so beautiful. Our tour guide was awesome Pj took the time to take pictures/videos and showed my son some cool flowers. Would highly recommend him. I’m definitely doing this again. Even if covid wasn’t happening right now I would still wear a mask or you’ll be spitting out dirt all the time. They do provided glasses also Im glad Pj pointed that out. Wish I would have book other tours but definitely going back again.
From beginning to end it was a blast! Tay our instructor gave us the best experience ever. She was super informative as well as went the extra mile to take great photos/videos and even gave us food options we should try out during our stay in Hawaii.
Over all it was a great time and now I can’t wait to visit Hawaii again just to come back to this ranch.
Tip for future travelers, spend the extra money for the 2hr excursion. It will be worth it!
The staff were amazing! Mai Tai’s were great. We saw a turtle and some fish. Wonderful experience
It was the best way to celebrate my 40th birthday everyone was great I had a great time can’t wait to do it again
Had so much fun!! The crew was awesome and the ride was rocky but fun!
Super friendly staff and great food/drinks provided on board. Would 100% book again with them!
It was a grand finale to our trip. Really enjoyed the dancers.
Fantastic show!!! Excellent food!! Would go again!!
Crew was pretty awesome. Sunset amaze balls. Highly recommend
My cousin and I had a great time on this tour. This was her first time in Hawaii but I have been many times so I can confidently say that this is one of the best island tours that I have been on. We got to eat malasadas at our first location at Haunama Bay. From there we went to Halona Blowhole and saw the amazing views from Nu’uanu Pali before the clouds came in. Then we went to Byodo Temple located in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park and rang the bell for good luck before heading towards the North Shore for lunch. We saw Chinaman’s Hat along the way. The Dole Plantation is a place I must visit every time I go to Hawaii just for the Dole Whip! We also got to visit King Kamehameha’s statue in Downtown Honolulu. But it was our tour guide/driver that made this trip around Oahu better than some of the tours I’ve experienced. Kalani was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we visited and many other sites. His lived experiences made us feel the appreciation and connection he has for the island. He also made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire day. Our tour was on mother’s day so we are grateful for the time he could’ve spent with his mother, showing us around the island.
Great tour. Absolutely breathtaking out there. Thank you Captain Bruce
Your very Welcome! Aloha and Mahalo Nui Elaina
Your crew was fun and friendly, and we enjoyed it very much. Will do it again on our next trip, no doubt. Aloha.
We got there worrying about how we would take some nice pictures without the camera/phone getting drowned/dropped, but we were offered some photography services for $30, able to take the SD card the pictures were taken on home with us. We really loved how they turned out, being able to keep memorabilia of a really great first experience in Hawaii!
The guys running the boat were so great and fun, I would suggest it at least once!!
We greatly enjoyed our morning horse ride in the Waipio Valley. Our guides are local residents of the valley who are very proud of the history and the culture. The horses were calm and very sure footed. The lack of in depth introductions about the history and culture of the valley and the unpredictable weather in the valley were largely compensated by the hospitality of the guides, the almost mystic atmosphere of the majestic valley, and arrays of exotic flora of the fertile valley floor. I wish the black sand beach was part of the tour. I might be asking too much but horse riding on the black sand beach could be the highlight of a perfect tour!
We had so much fun! I believe we saw 4 or 5 Manta Rays. One kept doing flips and brushing against us. It was a great experience, and the crew was extremely nice and fun.
Aloha Tori,
Thanks for joining us and taking the time to review us. They are truly magical marine species. We are thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. We hope to see you soon!
Glad I took a risk and booked this tour. It was worth the money spent. Lola our tour guide/shuttle driver was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. Even brought us Poi donut as a treat. I would highly recommend this tour.
This excursion was okay at best. Though we were able to see dolphins, which was lovely, the snorkeling was blah. First the company took us south along the island, versus out into the ocean, and guided us snorkeling right by a power plant on the shoreline. There were some pretty fish, maybe 3-4 different species. The coral was not colorful; they informed us that is typical for Hawaii. Friends we have that live on the islands state there are beautiful coral reefs, you just need to know where to find them. Apparently, this company does not know where to find these reefs. The catamaran ride was just lovely, but that's it. Again, nothing special. The crew were fine when talking to us as a group but not one-on-one. Then they seemed guarded and annoyed. I would not recommend this excursion.
This was one of my favorite things that I did during my trip to Hawaii! Highly recommend the 1000 feet line--you get an amazing view of the island! The staff were so nice and made sure everyone felt comfortable. It was truly an amazing experience.
I went alone, but the staff was friendly and I had a great time. I was moved when a sea turtle swam close to me about three times (even though we’re not supposed to touch them). I took the bus from Honolulu, and I recommend leaving with at least a two-hour buffer. Be sure to bring a change of clothes as well.
1人で行ったのですが、スタッフが親切で十分楽しめました。ウミガメが(触ってはいけないのですが)3度位近くまで泳いで来て感動しました。
ホノルルからバスで行ったのですが、2時間は余裕を持って出発することをお勧めします。着替えも用意していきましょう。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the encounters with sea turtles and the SUP experience, among many other activities. Thank you for sharing the wonderful photos!
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SUP体験など盛りだくさんで楽しんでいただいたようでとても嬉しいです。素敵な写真のシェアをありがとうございます
There was no sailing on this trip.The Manta rays are close to where the boat goes in the water. I thought we would have a nice sail while the sun was setting and then get in the water but that was not the case. This experience was both boring and exciting. You are in the water for 45 minutes lying flat with arms outstretched holding onto the handle on one of several connected "light boards"while you have your snorkeled face in the water, and are balancing a noodle under your ankles. You brush up against the people on either side of you.The motion of the ocean gets to be a bit much for many people. I heard a crew member say to another "at least no one puked this trip". I have never been sea sick but started feeling queasy and did get out with about 10 minutes to go. You can raise your arm and be escorted back to the boat at any time.You are provided with a half wet suit but still you get chilled. If you have any shoulder problems I would think twice about doing this trip. All that being said it was so cool when the Mantas did show up and swim right past you! There weren't many but I got some good video and stills with a camera that I borrowed from a friend. Maybe there is a better time of day or year to see more mantas? If you're positioned on a middle light board you have time to get the camera set because you will hear the people at the ends of the the light boards ooh and aah and cheer! I probably would not do this trip again but notice I didn't say never! The boat was nice , the crew was fine.
Aloha Mae,
We are so sorry to hear you found your experience less than stellar. We appreciate your feedback. We often do try to do some sailing prior to heading to the Manta Ray Village, however factors of getting the best viewing spot for our guests may have disrupted the sailing part as many times through out the year we'll have northern boats come down to view the manta's if they haven't been seeing any at their usual location. Our best recommendation for hanging on to the light rafts would be to not be tense, this can make for an unpleasant experience for anyone, including people with shoulder problems. It's best to relax and go with the flow of the ocean rather than against it. Although we are sad to hear you didn't enjoy your whole time with us, we are happy to hear you enjoyed the stars of the show. They are truly magical. We hope you'll give us another try on a return visit to the islands. Mahalo Nui Loa!
Glad we did it...great experience ...drinks were good
