Hawaii
The waves were high, and I think it also depends on the tides, but the water depth at the sandbar was deep. Only those who could swim against the waves could participate in snorkeling where the coral reef fish were, and I couldn't see any fish or sea turtles... It's winter, so I understand, but it was cold, and since I wore a wetsuit, my swimsuit was inside the suit, and the photos turned out lonely. I wish someone had told me if there were sea turtles (maybe I just didn't ask...). Was it just bad timing!? However, the guides were very kind and even took photos for us. We had fun playing with the floaties. Thank you!
波が高くて、潮の満ち引きにもよると思いますが、サンドバーの水深が深かったです。サンゴ礁の魚がいるところには、波に逆らって泳げる人しかシュノーケルに参加できず、魚もウミガメも見れなかった…
季節が冬だから仕方ないですが、寒くて、ウェットスーツを着たので、水着はスーツの中で、写真もさみしかったです。
ウミガメがいたら、教えて欲しかったです。(私が聞いてなかっただけかもですが…)
タイミングが悪かったのかな!?
でも、ガイドさん達は、すごく親切で写真も撮ってくださいました。浮き輪でも楽しく遊べました。
ありがとうございました!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are truly sorry that you were unable to join the snorkeling due to the unfortunate weather, but we are very pleased to hear your compliments about our staff's service. Regardless of natural conditions like the weather, we will continue to make further efforts to ensure your satisfaction with the snorkeling, activities, and meals throughout the tour. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit.
アロハ!この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへのご参加誠にありがとうございました。あいにくのお天気でシュノーケリングにもご参加いただけずとても残念でしたが、スタッフの対応をお褒めいただきましたことを心より嬉しく思います。天候などの自然条件に関わらずシュノーケリングやアクティビティ、そしてお食事などでツアー全体を通してにご満足いただけますようさらなる努力を重ねてまいります。またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This time, I participated with my 6-year-old son, and he decided not to go snorkeling. I thought I would have to skip snorkeling too to stay with him, but the tour staff member kindly said, "Don't worry, I'll look after your son. You and your partner can go ahead!" My son ended up having lunch on the boat and playing around it. I really appreciated that! We also got to experience stand-up paddleboarding, which was incredibly fun. Along the way, a sea turtle even came by and passed right next to my son! It was a great experience.
今回6歳の息子を連れての参加で、息子はシュノーケリングを断念。私も息子に付き合ってシュノーケリングは出来ないかと思いきや、ツアースタッフのお兄さんが息子を見ていてあげるからパパさんママさん行ってきて良いよ!と送り出してくれました。息子は船上でランチしたり、船の周りで遊んで貰ったりしていたそうです。本当に有難い!アクティビティではSUPも体験でき、最高に楽しかったです。途中、ウミガメもやって来て息子の真横を通過!良い体験でした。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We have many staff members who love children and some who have kids themselves, so I hope your child had a great time on the boat. It was great to see the turtles too!! All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。子供好きなスタッフや実際に子供がいるスタッフも多いので、お子さんも船の上で楽しく過ごして頂けたのではないでしょうか。カメさんにも会えて良かった!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The sandbar on the day we participated had water up to our thighs, which was a bit disappointing! I think it would be good to check a site that provides tide information before making a reservation.
The hamburgers we had on the boat were surprisingly delicious!! Although there was a bit of murkiness in the water for snorkeling due to rain the day before, there were many sea turtles nearby, and we were able to swim with them. It was so much fun!
参加した日のサンドバーは太ももあたりまで水が上がっていて少し残念でした!潮位を調べられるサイトがあるみたいなので予約する前に参考にした方がいいと思います。
船上で食べるハンバーガーはびっくりするぐらい美味しかったです!!シュノーケリングも前日に雨が降ったため少し濁りはありましたがウミガメが近くに沢山いて一緒に泳ぐことができました。すごく楽しかったです!
The weather was gloomy all day. The staff spoke to us in Japanese, so I was able to participate without any anxiety. Everyone was kind and taught us well.
It was cold, and I was hesitant to get into the sea. I even thought about skipping snorkeling.
But since I came all this way, I wanted to see the sea turtles!
I bravely went into the water.
As soon as I got in, I saw so many sea turtles!
For lunch, we had freshly made BBQ. It was delightful! The taste was really delicious.
一日どんよりした天気((+_+))
スタッフの方々は日本語で話してくれて不安なく参加できました(^^)/
皆さん優しく教えてくれました(#^^#)
寒くて海に入るのも恐々。。
シュノーケリングもやめようか、と。。
でもせっかく来たのだからウミガメに会いたい!
思い切って海へ。。
入ってすぐ、いっぱいウミガメに会えました♡
ランチも出来立てほやほやのBBQ。堪能しました!
味も本当に美味しかったです♡
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for joining us this time. The weather has been rough this week, hasn't it? But I'm glad you decided to get into the water! I hope you were able to relax and enjoy the turtles resting in the coral reefs and the many fish. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。今週は天気が荒れていましたよね。でも思い切って海に入ってもらって良かったです!サンゴ礁の影で休んでいるカメさんや、たくさんの魚達はに心を癒されたのではないでしょうか!?またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I had plans in the morning and was looking for a tour in the afternoon when I found and booked this one. The guides spoke Japanese and were all friendly. The meal was a simple buffet, but with a 360-degree oceanfront view from the boat. The taste may vary depending on personal preference, but it was a luxurious lunch.
While snorkeling, I saw several sea turtles on the ocean floor, and I could see them up close! However, it can be cold in late December if it's not sunny! It's a good idea to have a warm rash guard, bath towel, and a change of T-shirt that you can wear on the boat.
I enjoyed the stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) without any additional charge, but due to safety concerns, the area where we could paddle was quite limited. Standing and paddling would end quickly, and we kept having to turn around and repeat that.
One disappointing thing was that one of the guides threw the leftover juice he was drinking into the sea. I was disheartened to see a guide, who is supposed to protect the beautiful Kaneohe Bay surrounded by coral reefs, throwing juice into the clean ocean.
午前中に予定があり、午後からのツアーを探していたところこちらのツアーを見つけて予約。
ガイドさんたちは、日本語が話せて、みんなフレンドリー。
食事は、簡単なビュッフェでしたが、船の上だと360度オーシャンフロント。味は好みもあるかと思いますが、贅沢なランチでした。
シュノーケルをしていると、海の底にウミガメが何匹もいて、間近で見る事ができます!
しかし、12月下旬の晴れていないと寒いです!
必ず船の上で着られる温かいラッシュガードやバスタオル、替えのTシャツとかがあるといいですよ。
SUPが追加料金無く実施出来て楽しめましたが、安全上の問題で、SUPの出来る範囲がかなり狭く立って漕ぐとすぐに終わり。また、Uターンし、立って漕ぐと終わり。の繰り返し…でした。
残念だった事は、ガイドさんの1人が飲んでいたジュースの残りを海に捨てていた事です。
珊瑚礁に守られた美しいカネオヘ湾を守るガイドさんが、綺麗な海にジュースを捨てるなんてガッカリしました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We sincerely appreciate you sharing your experiences, such as lunch and turtle watching, and how you enjoyed the comfortable tour. The time and location for SUP may be limited depending on the day's conditions, but we will consider ways to ensure everyone has a fun experience as much as possible. Regarding the inappropriate behavior of the guide that you pointed out, we have promptly communicated this internally and have taken strict measures to ensure that such incidents do not happen again. Protecting Hawaii's precious nature is one of our missions, and we will continue to strive for further environmental conservation and service improvement. We look forward to welcoming you again to the beautiful Kaneohe Bay.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ランチやウミガメウォッチングなどのご体験や快適なツアーでの過ごし方をご共有いただき誠にありがとうございました。SUPはその日のコンディションによってお楽しみいただける時間や場所が限られてしまうのですが、可能な範囲で皆様に楽しい体験をしていただけますように方法を検討させていただこうと思います。またご指摘いただきましたガイドの不適切な行動に関しましては早速社内に伝達し、二度とこのようなことがないように厳重に注意いたしました。ハワイの大切な自然を守ることは私たちの使命の一つですので、今後ともさらなる環境保護とサービス向上に努めてまいります。またの機会に美しいカネオヘ湾にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The weather can affect your experience, but the sea was clear and visibility was good, making it possible to spot sea turtles and fish. Additionally, since it's shallow, even small children who are not good at swimming can enjoy themselves.
天気にも左右されますが、海も透き通っていて視界が良く、ウミガメや魚を探すことも可能でした。また浅瀬なので小さな子供で泳ぎが苦手な子も楽しむことができます。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Seas Tour. Thank you very much for participating. While the ocean water in Hawaii can be a bit chilly in winter, we hope you enjoyed the crystal-clear waters. We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。冬のハワイの海は少し海水は冷たくなりますが、透き通るような海をご堪能いただけたのではないでしょうか。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The water level on the day was comfortable, with the shallowest part being below the knees.
By the way, you can check the sea level in advance on the linked site.
I encountered a sea turtle that seemed curious, coming close enough to reach out to it.
当日の水位の海面も一番浅いところが膝下で快適
ちなみに海面水位は事前にリンク張ってるサイトでチェック可能
ウミガメも興味があるのか手が届くほどの近距離まで遭遇
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and got to see the turtles. Also, thank you for sharing the wonderful photos of the sandbar. We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。カメさんにも会えて、ツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。また、素晴らしいサンドバーの写真のシェアもありがとうございます。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I participated in this tour for the first time in seven years. The members were the same as seven years ago, so it was fun to see people who had changed in appearance and those who hadn’t changed at all.
Now, the guide who picked us up in the morning spoke suspicious Japanese, and during the car ride, he explained everything in English without any warnings, and we arrived at the destination. Even there, the explanations were in English, and just when I was wondering about it, he finally explained in Japanese, which relieved my whole family.
At the local boat, they provided proper assistance in Japanese. What was wonderful was that we had about an hour for sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, so even my wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling with a life jacket and float. Perhaps we looked like we were having too much fun, as my parents in their 70s decided to try snorkeling for the first time! However, they needed help right away ( ;∀; ). They said they were still okay, but I think it was a nice decision to get assistance.
For lunch, we had hamburgers, which were very delicious, and I wanted a second helping. Also, the crew here was very cheerful and lifted our spirits with their "Aloha!" greetings. The guide who picked us up in the morning played the guitar and sang during lunchtime, which seemed to be part of his job. Overall, it was a great experience. I would like to participate again when my daughter is able to snorkel.
このツアーに7年ぶりに参加しました。
メンバーも7年前と変わらないメンバーでしたので、見た目が変わった人やまったく変わらない人など楽しかったです。
さて、今回も朝迎えに来たガイドさんが、あやしい日本語、車内では、英語で全部説明、何の注意点もなく、現地へ到着しました。現地でも英語での説明で、あれ?と思っていたところ、やっと日本語で説明して頂いたので、家族全員ほっと一安心。
現地の船では日本語できちんと対応してもらいました。すばらしいのは、サンドバーとカメウォッチ、さらにはシュノーケルが1Hぐらいあったので、泳げない嫁でも、ライフジャケットと浮棒?でとても楽しくシュノーケルをしていました。今回あまりに私たち夫婦が楽しそうにみえたのか?、70代の両親がシュノーケリングに初挑戦!!したところ・・・すぐにヘルプで助けられました( ;∀;)
本人曰くまだまだ大丈夫だったはずと言っていますが、やっぱり助けて頂いたのはナイス判断だったと思います。
ランチは、ハンバーガーでしたがとてもおいしく、おかわりがほしいくらいでした。また、ここのクルーはとても陽気でアローーーーーーーハァーのあいさつで気分を楽しくしてくれました。朝迎えに来たガイドは、ランチタイムに、ギターを弾いて歌っていましたが、結局それが仕事みたいでした。全体的にとても良かったです。娘がシュノーケリングできるようになったらまた参加したいと思いました。
Everything was amazing.
I want to go to the sandbar again.
I was also surprised by the high quality of the hamburgers. Both the taste and the portion size were perfect.
It was great to have a wide variety of drinks as well.
Everything was good, but the instruction on how to use the snorkel really stood out. I felt like I was having fun for the first time with snorkeling! I was able to swim with many fish.
I had my kids with me, and there were preparations like children's goggles and life jackets, so the kids enjoyed it too.
It was a really great tour. I highly recommend it.
全てが最高でした。
サンドバーまた行きたいなって思いました。
ハンバーガーのクオリティの高さにも驚きました。味、ボリュームどちらも満点です。
飲み物も種類たくさんで良かったです。
全て良かったのですが、シュノーケルの扱い方を教えて頂いたのがポイントアップです。シュノーケルが初めて楽しい!って思えました。たくさんの魚と一緒に泳げました。
子供連れでしたが、子供用のゴーグル、ライフジャケットなど準備があり子供も楽しめました。
すごく良いツアーでした。オススメです。
First, it's a good idea to thoroughly check the tide schedule and book your tour on a day when the low tide aligns with the sandbar experience. This will determine everything about the tour. We went on a day with a water depth of about 60 cm (which was the best day for us). Since we were aware of this, we weren't disappointed, and even with a water depth of 60 cm, it was still an amazing experience, so we enjoyed it thoroughly.
During the snorkeling, although there weren't many types, we were able to see a lot of fish. For lunch, we had healthy food, which is great during a trip when it's easy to lack vegetables. On the day we went, there was a decent amount of wind, so the sea kayaking was canceled, but we were able to do a little bit of stand-up paddleboarding (they teach you how to ride beforehand), and the kids could play with floaties and on the sea carpet, allowing us to spend a very fulfilling time. We even saw a sea turtle!
まず、潮の満ち引きをしっかり調べて、旅行の日程の中から干潮とサンドバー体験の時間が合う日を狙って予約するといいです。
それによって、このツアーは全てが決まります。
私たちは水深60cmくらいの日に行きました(これが一番合う日でした)。
分かっていたことなのでがっかりすることもなかったですし、水深60cmでもやっぱり凄いことに変わりはないので、充分楽しめました。
そして、その後のシュノーケルでは種類は少ないもののたくさんの魚を見られました。
お昼ご飯は、野菜不足になりやすい旅行中には嬉しい、ヘルシーなものです。
私たちが行った日は風がそこそこあり、シーカヤックは中止でしたが、少しだけSUPもでき(事前に乗り方を教えてもらえます)、ちびっこたちは浮き輪や海の上のじゅうたんでも遊べ、かなり密度の濃い時間を過ごせました。
ウミガメも一匹見られましたよ!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We offer activities that can be enjoyed even by customers who do not go snorkeling. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。弊社では、スノーケルに行かないお客様でも楽しんでいただけるようにアクティビティーを揃えております。ツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで嬉しく思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The guide was very kind, and they took a lot of wonderful photos at the sandbar. I was also able to see many sea turtles.
案内の人がすごく親切で、さんどばーで素敵な写真いっぱい撮ってくれました。ウミガメにもたくさん会うことが出来ました。
There were plenty of fish while snorkeling, and we also played beach volleyball. The weather that day wasn't very good, but I had a great time! The staff were all very kind, and I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
シュノーケルもお魚がいっぱいいたり
ビーチバレーもしました。
その日天気はあまり良くなかったのですが
すごく楽しめました!
スタッフも優しい方ばかりでまた機会があったら参加したいと思います。
It's truly beautiful; walking on such a beautiful beach is the best. You'll definitely see sea turtles, almost as if they're being kept nearby!
本当にキレイ、キレイな海を歩けるってのが最高
ウミガメ100%会えます、飼われてるんかぐらいの距離感!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. "It's really beautiful." That sums up the sandbar perfectly, doesn't it? The turtles are 100% wild turtles!! However, they are our dear friends. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。’本当にキレイ。’サンドバーはその一言に尽きますよね。カメさんは100%野生のカメさんです!!が、私たちの大切なお友達です。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Sandbar...not what we expected - but amazing!
Turtle watch...AMAZING!!!
Crew...SUPER AMAZING!
We would do this tour again and again any time we are in Oahu!
Views were great on the boat tour.
The sand bar activity was a total let down. Many of us were thinking they will start a volleyball game, but soon they were packing the net back! ?! There was basically nothing to do in the sand bar given that.
Then the turtle watching was fun. Then snorkeling was ok.
They do not help out beginners in any way. We asked them multiple times if one of them can come with us for helping out.. but no response.
Given the price, i would rate this ok overall..
Three years ago, I participated with my daughter and had a great time, so this time I joined with friends. The staff were very considerate, taking photos for us and accommodating the two who didn't participate in snorkeling by letting them stay on the cruiser. The malasadas and BBQ were also very delicious, and we even had seconds. We were blessed with wonderful weather and had the best time.
3年前に娘と参加してとても楽しかったので、今回は友人と参加しました。
スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、シュノーケルに参加しなかった二人をクルーザーに乗せてくれたりとても気使って頂き楽しかったです。
マラサダとBBQもとても美味しくお代わりもしました。
とても天気にも恵まれて最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining us this time. And to our returning guests, welcome back! What wonderful photos! It must have been so beautiful that day, as conveyed through the pictures. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。そしてリピーター様、お帰りなさい!素晴らしい写真ですね!当日はさぞ美しかったんだろうなー。っと写真から伝わって来ました。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I think this tour depends on the weather. If the weather is bad, it gets cold. The staff were all kind and funny!
Next time I participate, I want to see sea turtles.
Kailua was very enjoyable, and the timing was just right.
The pancakes at Boots & Kimo's were absolutely delicious!
このツアーは天気次第だと思います
天気悪いと寒いです。
スタッフは皆さん親切で面白かったです!
次に参加したときはウミガメに会いたいです
カイルアはとても楽しかったし
時間も丁度よかったです
ブーツ&キモズのパンケーキ最高に美味しかったです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very sorry that it rained, but we are glad to hear that you were pleased with our staff's service. It's also great to know that you enjoyed the Kailua plan. As you pointed out, we will continue to make further efforts to ensure that the tour is not solely dependent on the weather, and that you are satisfied throughout the entire experience with snorkeling, activities, and meals. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit.
アロハ!この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへのご参加誠にありがとうございました。雨が降ってしまい大変残念でしたが、スタッフの対応をお褒めいただき嬉しく思います。またカイルアプランもお楽しみいただけたようで良かったです。ご指摘いただきました通り天候次第のツアーとならないよう、シュノーケリングやアクティビティ、そしてお食事などでツアー全体を通してにご満足いただけますようさらなる努力を重ねてまいります。またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
About three days ago, the first tour was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour. They picked us up by bus, and from there we moved to the sandbar by boat. I didn’t feel seasick at all, and it was really pleasant arriving at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the water level was up to my waist, but it was very beautiful. We strolled around, took photos, and relaxed at a leisurely pace. There was plenty of time.
After that, we had a hamburger lunch! It was delicious, with freshly grilled patties. You could add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and more as you liked. Then we went sea turtle watching. I think we saw about ten turtles. They swam gracefully and occasionally popped their heads up for air. After that, snorkeling at a stunning spot! We visited several snorkeling points, and there were many fish. It was the first time I saw a sea turtle. A few groups spotted them, and since I wasn’t wearing a flotation jacket, I dove down a bit and saw them up close. It was amazing to swim alongside the turtles. (Of course, I think I was lucky…)
Snorkeling was also very enjoyable. The plan, which included the sandbar, lunch, sea turtles, and snorkeling, was very satisfying. Our guide, Yuki, was also a lot of fun and shared some movie filming stories, which made it enjoyable. I will definitely join this tour again next time. I highly recommend it!
*Put your belongings in a vinyl bag. Wear marine (water) shoes and bring extra towels from the hotel. Keep your phone around your neck. If possible, sitting on the outer side of the front deck allows for better views of the turtles. Make sure to apply sunscreen well. Drinks are included, so you don’t need too many, but having one for the trip or when you want to drink right away is necessary. Don’t forget to prepare a tip; around $20 to $25 per person is ideal. After the tour, we returned to the hotel by 4 PM, and then we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping.
3日くらい前一番初めのツアーが空いていなかったので、
このツアーに申し込み。バスで迎えに来てくれて、そこから船で移動
まったく、船酔いすることもなく、すごく、気持ちよくサンドバー到着。
あいにく腰下まで水位がありましたが、すごくきれい。
ぶらぶら歩いたり写真を撮ったりまったり、ゆっくり。十分な時間でした。
その後、ハンバーガーランチ!こちらも美味しい。ハンバーグも焼き立て。
トマト、オニオン、レタスなどもお好きに挟んで。という感じ。
その後、ウミガメウオッチング。
10匹は見えたと思います。優雅に泳いでたまに顔を水面に出してくれました。
その後シュノーケリングも最高にきれいなポイント!
いくつかシュノーケルポイントは行きましたが、魚も多く
ウミガメが見えたのは初めて。
数組の方が発見して、私は浮きのジャケットを着ていなかったので、少し潜ったら大きく見えました。さらに、カメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来て最高でした。
(もちろん、ラッキーだったと思いますが…)
シュノーケリングも十分楽しめます。サンドバー・ランチ・ウミガメ・シュノーケルと大満足のプランでした。案内してくださったYUKIさんもとても、
楽しい方で映画の撮影の紹介などもあり、楽しめました。
次に行くときもこのツアーに絶対参加します。お勧めです
※荷物はビニール素材のバックに入れて。靴はマリン(ウォーター)シューズ・タオルはホテルレンタル多めに。携帯は首にかけて。可能なら、前のデッキの外側に座れるとそのまま、カメがうまく見えます。日焼け止めはしっかり塗って。ドリンクはついているので、そんなにいらないが1本くらいは移動やすぐ飲みたいときに必要。チップを準備するのを忘れないで。一人、20ドルから25ドルくらいが理想です。
終了後も16時にホテルに戻りその後、十分にお買い物楽しめます。
It was a clear day, and both the sea and the mountains were beautiful. The shallowest area had water up to my knees, but it was surprisingly clear, like a different world.
I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't do the breaststroke, but I was able to move just by using my hands, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming up close.
The blueberry or chocolate muffins we received right after boarding, as well as the lunch, were delicious.
If I had to mention something, the driver was late compared to the meeting time, and he was distributing the schedule by wetting each piece of paper. Also, the changing area on the way to Kailua was in a public restroom with limited stalls, and since locals were using it too, it made us a bit rushed. However, at Būkimō, it was not crowded, and I was able to eat pancakes right away.
I also think it would be helpful if the tour included tips. I definitely want to join again during low tide next time.
当日は快晴で海だけでなく山もとても綺麗でした。一番浅い場所で膝ぐらいの水位でしたが、驚くほど透明で別世界の景色です。
シュノーケリングは、平泳ぎの足が出来ず心配でしたが、手をかくだけで進み、海亀の泳ぐ姿を間近でみれてテンションが上がりました。
乗船してすぐ頂くブルーベリーorチョコのマフィンもランチも美味しかったです。
強いて言うなら、行きのドライバーさんが集合時間より遅れて来たこと、車内で配るスケジュールを1枚ずつ唾を付けて配っていたこと、カイルアへ行く途中の着替えがどこかのトイレで個数も少なく、地元の方も使うので譲っていたら時間が…となり焦ったぐらいです。ブーキモは空いててすぐパンケーキを食べれました。
あと、ツアーがチップ込みだと助かるな〜と思います。次回は干潮の時にぜひ参加します。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sunny sandbar and Kailua. We also appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement, which we will share with our staff to enhance our services. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。晴天のサンドバー、そしてカイルアを満喫いただいたようでとても嬉しく思います。また改善点のご指摘もいただきありがとうございます。さらなるサービス向上のためにスタッフと共有させていただきます。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This was my first time in Hawaii, so I made a reservation based on information I found online. The communication regarding transportation was polite, and I received updates about the meeting location and time changes from the hotel. Women must wear rash guards, which also protect against the wind when boarding. For men, it's all about determination.
During our visit, we were comfortably picked up by a large tour bus. We stopped to use the restroom at the boat departure location. Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese people and the other more international. Personally, I preferred the international boat, but my family wanted to be on the one with mostly Japanese passengers. The energetic and thorough explanations from the staff really boosted our spirits.
At the sandbar, we borrowed goggles and snorkels to enter the water. It's essential to have a waterproof case for your smartphone, even if it's a cheap one from a dollar store. The water level was about waist to thigh deep, allowing us to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and play volleyball. It might be fun to bring a ball that doesn't get blown away easily.
For turtle watching, we moved from the sandbar and observed from the boat. We saw many turtles, which was exciting, but it was a bit difficult to take photos due to the distance.
Lunch consisted of hamburgers on the boat. If you line up early, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Since the portions are light, those with big appetites might want to bring something extra.
The captain's guitar performance was also a nice touch. For snorkeling around the coral, in addition to the snorkel, we borrowed life jackets and fins. If the staff can share some bread, you can feed the fish, which is sure to be a thrilling experience. You can swim around the coral and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends.
The weather was decent. Some members got stung by jellyfish, including my daughter, but we received medication and it was no problem. Please note that you cannot flush toilet paper on the boat. It's important to be considerate and keep it clean for everyone, but it might be tough for those who are very particular about cleanliness.
On the return bus, plastic covers were set on the seats. Even if you can't change clothes, there's no need to worry. (Remember to bring some cash to leave a tip when disembarking.)
Instead of worrying about "the weather not being perfect," "the jellyfish," or "the restroom situation," it's better to focus on enjoying what you can. If you can have a good time, the staff's spirits will lift too, making the experience even more enjoyable.
初ハワイなので、ネット情報を参考にして申し込みました。
送迎の連絡は丁寧で、迎えの場所及び時間の変更連絡はホテルにいただけました。女性はラッシュガードが必須。乗船時の風からも守ってくれます。男は気合です。
私たちの時は大きな観光バスでのお迎えにて快適に移動。ボート出航場所でトイレを済ませます。ボート乗船は参加人数が多く2隻に分乗。日本人ばかりのボートとインターナショナルなボートに分かれました。個人的にはインターナショナルが良かったのですが、家族の希望で日本人ばかりの船に。元気で丁寧な説明をいただき気分も盛り上がりました。
サンドバーでは、水中眼鏡とシュノーケルを借りて入水します。スマホは必ず100均のでいいので防水ケースに。腰~太ももくらいまで水位がありましたが、歩いたり、景色を楽しんだり、バレーを楽しんだり。風に飛ばされにくいボールなんかを持っていくと面白いかも。
ウミガメウォッチは、サンドバーから移動してボート上からウォッチします。たくさんのウミガメを見て盛り上がりますが、やや距離があるので写真におさめるのは困難です。
ランチは、船上でハンバーガーでした。早めに並ぶとゆっくり食べられます。軽めなので、大食漢の方は何か持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
船長(?)のギターの弾き語りもいい感じです。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングは、シュノーケルの他に、ライフジャケットとフィンを借りて入水します。もし、スタッフの方からパンを分けてもらえれば、魚への餌やりができます。魚の勢いに驚くこと必至。シュノーケリングでサンゴの周りを一周できます。きれいなサンゴを仲間と一緒に楽しめます。
お天気はまずまず。クラゲに刺されるメンバーもいて、娘もその被害に合いましたが薬をいただき問題なし。船上のトイレは紙を流すことができません。お互いのためにきれいに使う意識も大事ですが、潔癖症の方は厳しいかも。
帰りのバスの席にはビニールがセットされています。着替えることができなくても心配ありません。(下船時に気持ちをチップとして残すので、お金を忘れないように)
「天気がピーカンじゃない」とか「クラゲが~」とか「トイレが~」とか考えるよりも、楽しめることを楽しんだ者勝ちです。楽しそうに過ごせたら、スタッフの気持ちも上がって、もっと楽しく過ごせるかも。
We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.
The sandbar and snorkeling were both amazing. I think it can be enjoyed in any scenario, whether you're with a partner, colleagues, or family. I was moved to see sea turtles up close!
サンドバー、シュノーケリング共に最高でした。カップル、同僚、家族、どのパターンでも楽しめると思います。海カメを間近で見れて感動しました!

You read the description of the tour first and now you want to make sure it's worth it.... Sandbar, volleyball, basic but tasty lunch (charcoal grill), turtle and manta spotting, and then snorkeling a coral reef. Is this something you want to do, surrounded by natural beauty?
Stop reading reviews and book the trip.
We did this tour on a rainy, windy day in 2018 and loved it! We came back and did it again in December 2019 and had a warm, sunny day and lucked out with really good visibility. The coral reef is just that; when you're underwater the live corals extend much beyond what you can see. It's not just a single live colony every once in a while like Hanauma. Where one huge colony/color/texture ends, others begin. That's what I wanted to see and this tour lets you get plenty of time in the water. The crew is always enthusiastic about the experience, has lots of fun themselves, and is highly attentive to passengers. We'll absolutely be back for a 3rd time.
Mahalo Captain Bob's crew!
On the day of the tour, the weather and temperature were unusually pleasant for the rainy season, surprising even the guide, and it wasn't cold at all when we entered the sea. The staff were friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. The water was shallow, reaching just below my waist, but I was able to see a variety of colorful tropical fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. Since I can swim, I would have liked to take off my life jacket and wear fins to dive a bit (though it might not have been safe). Overall, it was an amazing experience.
ツアー当日は、ガイドさんも驚くほどの雨期としては異例の天気と温度で、海に入っても全く寒くありませんでした。スタッフの方たちも気さくで大いに盛り上げてくれました。水深は浅いところで股下位でしたが、シュノーケリングでは色とりどりの熱帯魚やウミガメを見ることが出来ました。私は泳げるので出来たらライフジャケットを脱いでフィンをつけて潜ってみたかったです。
(安全面を考えると無理でしょうが)
とにかく最高の体験でした。

The weather wasn't very good, and the water was a bit high and cold, but I had a great time! The snorkeling was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see fish and even a sea turtle! The hamburger was also very delicious. The staff were all wonderful, and I would like to participate again on a sunny day when I go back to Hawaii.
天気があまり良くなかった日で、水が高めで寒かったですが、、充分楽しめました!!
シュノーケリングも綺麗に魚が見え、ウミガメも見れたので満足です!
ハンバーガーもとっても美味しかったです☆
スタッフの方もみんな良い方でまたハワイに行く際は天気のいい日に参加したいと思います♡
BBQ lunch included.
The lunch service was inefficient, and we were able to get the last portion after about 15 minutes before moving on. I hurriedly ate. It's definitely something you should experience at least once, but the weather is really important.
BBQランチ付き
ランチの配膳が 能率が悪く 最後がもらえて 15分間くらいで 移動が再開
慌てて 食べた 一度は 体験すべきですね ただ 天候重要ですね
If you're going to the sandbar, I definitely recommend Heaven's Sea (Captain Bruce's). Other tours seem to guide you to places a bit further away.
The sea was cold, but the sandbar was very mystical, and I was able to see sea turtles, which made for great memories. The timing wasn't very good, and the tide only went down to about waist level, so I want to try again someday for a better experience.
The tour crew was also very fun, and the lunch was delicious.
サンドバーに行かれるなら絶対天国の海(キャプテンブルース)がおすすめです。ほかのツアーはすこし離れたところでの案内だそうです
海は寒かったけどサンドバーはとても神秘的でウミガメも見れたのでいい思い出になりました。タイミングがあまりよくなく腰の位置ぐらいまでしか潮がひかなかったのでいつかまたリベンジしたいと思います。
ツアーのクルーもとても楽しくランチもおいしかったです
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We appreciate your kind words. It's great to hear that you got to see the turtles! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。お褒めのお言葉ありがとうございます。亀さんにも会えたんですね!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Thanks to the clear weather, the scenery was absolutely beautiful. The sandbar had knee-deep seawater, but it was not a problem. The staff were cheerful and fun, making for an enjoyable time. The lunch was delicious as well. I was able to spot a sea turtle while snorkeling. I was a bit wobbly on my first stand-up paddleboarding experience, but it was fun. I would love to join this tour again when I come back to Hawaii. I hope to reunite with the staff!
晴天だったおかげで、最高に綺麗な景色でした。砂洲は膝くらい海水がありましたが問題ありません。
スタッフも明るく、楽しい方ばかりで楽しいひと時でした。ランチも美味しかったです。シュノーケルで海カメ発見できました。初サップへっぴり腰だったけど楽しかった。
またハワイに来たらこのツアーに参加したいです。スタッフに再会したいなぁ。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We appreciate you sharing the vibrant photos. All of our staff sincerely look forward to your next visit.

It was a trip with my son.
We participated because my son wanted to see a moving sea turtle. We were moved by the scenery from the sandbar and encountered a sea turtle in a familiar area. Later, a large sea turtle swam up to my son, who had become completely hooked on snorkeling, and he was very satisfied. It became a wonderful memory. The experience is definitely different when viewing from above the water compared to snorkeling. I am very grateful to Captain Yuka and Jamie for their great support.
息子と二人旅でした。
動いているウミガメを見てみたいという息子の希望から参加しました。
サンドバーからの風景に感動し、歩きなれたところでウミガメに遭遇。
その後もシュノーケルにドはまりした息子のもとに大きなウミガメが
泳いできて大満足。良い思い出になりました。
やはり海面上から見るのと、シュノーケリングしながら見るとでは迫力が違いますねえ。
キャプテン、ユウカさん、ジェイミーさんには大変お世話になりました。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are very happy to hear that your son was able to meet his long-awaited sea turtle. It seems like good things are on the horizon! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。息子さんの念願のウミガメに会えたようで、非常に嬉しく思います。良いことありそうですね!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Due to bad weather from the night until early morning, all morning tours were canceled, and it seems that all afternoon tours except for ours were also canceled. Thanks to that, we had the boat to ourselves and were able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. When the sun came out, it was very beautiful, and even though it was mid-November, it wasn't cold. We also saw the honu several times!
夜から未明にかけて天候不良だったため、午前のツアーは全部キャンセルされ、午後のツアーも私たちのツアー以外はキャンセルとのことでした。
おかげで私たちの船のお客さんしかいなく、ゆっくりと楽しめました。陽が射すととてもきれいで、11月中旬でしたが寒くはありませんでした。
ホヌも何回も見られました!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable; it can be stormy in the morning, but if the wind changes, it can be sunny in the afternoon! We hope you were able to create wonderful memories at the private sandbar. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ハワイの天気は変わりやすく、午前中は大荒れでも、風が変われば午後は晴天!ということも、よくあります。貸切状態のサンドバーで素敵な思い出を残していただけたのではないでしょうか?またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
