Oahu
As expected, the sea in January is cold, and although it was sunny, there was hardly any direct sunlight, which made it tough. The children were shivering.
When we arrived at the sandbar, it should have been around low tide to high tide, but the water level had already risen, and it wasn't dry land, which was disappointing.
However, we did get to see sea turtles and manta rays. Also, snorkeling was quite tough, and taking care of the kids while doing it was pretty exhausting.
やはり1月の海は寒く、晴れてはいたが直射日光がほぼなかったのでつらかった。子供はくちびるを震わせたりしていた。
サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。
It was a tour in the morning, but because it had rained the day before and there was a little rain on the day itself, the sea was a bit cold and didn't have the beauty of a heavenly sea. However, as it got closer to noon, it started to clear up, and gradually beautiful scenery began to appear.
Also, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. The tour crew spoke Japanese and were very friendly and easy to talk to, which made it a lot of fun!
Next time I come, I want to see the best scenery!
朝からのツアーでしたが、前日に雨が降っていたことと、当日少し雨が降ったため、海は少し冷たく、天国の海というほどの美しさはありませんでした。
しかし、お昼近くになると晴れ始め、次第に綺麗な景色が見え始めました。
また、ウミガメが見れたことやサップも楽しめたこと、ツアーのクルーの方々は日本語も話せることや、とても気さくで話しやすく良い方々だったこともあり、とても楽しかったです!
次回はきた際には最高の景色を見たいです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Although the weather was unfortunately rainy, we are glad you enjoyed the sea turtles and stand-up paddleboarding. On a sunny day, you can see a different sandbar, so please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
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。
あいにくの雨模様だった様ですがウミガメやSUPを楽しんで頂けて良かったです。
晴天ではまた違ったサンドバーが見れると思いますので、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。
The show and entertainment were amazing, but the vegan options for food were surprisingly underwhelming.
You're in great hands with Chad. He was an excellent instructor and underwater guide. He was very thorough in prepping us. We were able to see a lot of cool stuff, including a turtle!
Good
Surprised to the beautiful place nice expedition.
But want to see more of Jurassic parc
Take other pack if you want to see the movie
For Jurassic Valley with door of Jurassic parc on the other side you must Take the other Movie pack and not this!!!
We learned a lot about the Polynesian culture through the activities and demonstrations. Dinner was okay. But the breath of life show after was fantastic.
I had been to Angel's Sea once before, but this was my first time on a snorkeling tour. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays at Angel's Sea! And having a hamburger for lunch while on the water was the best. The guides explained everything in a way that was easy for Japanese people to understand, so I had no worries and enjoyed myself. Since it wasn't just a boat for Japanese people, I was able to interact with people from other countries, which was also fun (we exchanged snacks we brought with us, laughing together).
This was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed to see the fish up close! Since it was the ocean, I was a bit worried about being swept away by the current, but there were people nearby, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. It was a bit cold on the boat, so I think a larger and thicker bath towel would be better. Also, it's best to leave all jewelry at the hotel. I found that the area between my chin and neck surprisingly got sunburned, so it's better to apply sunscreen thoroughly. I went on the last day of my stay in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I did. I highly recommend this tour!
以前天使の海は一度行ったことがあったのですが、シュノーケル付きのツアーは初めてでした。天使の海では海亀とマンタが見れて大満足!そしてランチのハンバーガーも海の上で食べると最高ですね。日本人向けに説明をして頂けるので何も不安な点も無く楽しめました。日本人のみの船ということでは無いので他の国の方とも交流ができてそれもまた楽しかったです。(お互い持ってきたスナックを交換こしたり笑)
シュノーケルは初挑戦でしたが、魚が近くで見れて感動しました!!海なので多少潮に流されそうになりますが近くに人がいるので安心して楽しめました。船の上は寒かったりもするのでバスタオルは大きめで厚めの方がいいと思います。あとはジュエリーは全てホテルに置いてくべし。日焼け止めはあごと首の間が意外と焼けたので、念入りに塗った方がいいです。ハワイ滞在の最後の日に行きましたが本当に行って良かったです。おすすめのツアーです。
I participated with my 65-year-old mother!
We were in a team of eight, which included two groups of six people from Korea and the two of us.
At first, we watched a video in English on how to drive, but they also showed us a separate video with Japanese subtitles.
The guide spoke entirely in English, so we couldn't understand everything, but they explained the necessary safety information with gestures, and we had plenty of practice time, which made us feel secure before setting off.
I initially thought it might be a bit difficult for my mother due to her age, but there were some older participants in the other groups (not Japanese), and above all, we were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan, which made my mother the happiest.
The guide took a lot of photos for us, and the Korean group we participated with were very kind, creating truly wonderful memories.
65歳の母と参加しました!
一緒のチームになったのは韓国人グループ2組6人と、私たち母娘2人の計8人でした。
最初、運転方法を英語のビデオで見るのですが、私たちは別で日本語字幕付きのビデオを見せてくれました。
ガイドの方は全て英語で話すので、全てを理解することはできませんでしたが、安全に必要なことは身振り手振りで説明してくれましたし、練習時間もたっぷりとってくれたので安心して出発することができました。
最初は母の年齢には少し難しいかな?と思いましたが、他のグループにはもう少し年配の方(日本人ではなく)も参加していましたし、何より日本ではなかなか経験できないことができて、母が1番楽しんでいました^^
ガイドさんにたくさん写真も撮っていただき、一緒に参加した韓国人グループの方々にも優しくしていただき、本当に良い思い出になりました。
All I can say, this group is awesome. We had the sandbar adventure last January 4, 2023. Despite the weather didn’t cooperate, they still made sure that we have a good time. Supposedly it’s a big group, but because it’s raining that day, some parties cancelled their trip while we just want to get over it and don’t want to be back the next day. It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling. And my daughter even had a chance to have duet with my HERO!!! (It’s a long story).
I’m so thankful with them coz my kids really enjoyed this adventure. We all had a good time.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! We are so glad to know that your kids enjoyed our tour. Hope you will join us again. - Team KBOS
Great experience! Ship staff were so patient. Would highly recommend!
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It was my first time on a four-wheeler, and it was quite thrilling. Everyone in the family was able to enjoy it. With the beautiful scenery, I think it became a great memory.
四輪バギーは初めてでしたが、かなりスリリングで家族のみんなが楽しむことができました。いい景色も相まって、よい思い出になったと思います
。
At first, I was anxious about the tour being conducted only in English, but when I asked the staff with a translation device, "Is there anyone who can speak Japanese?" they kindly brought over a staff member who spoke Japanese. Thanks to that, I was able to enjoy everything from meals to activities!
最初は英語だけのツアーで不安でしたが、スタッフに翻訳機で「日本語対応できる方いますか_」と質問すると、親切に日本語が喋られるスタッフを連れてきてくれました。
おかげで、食事からアクティビティまで楽しくできました!
The sandbar was wonderful, but the guide's character and the way they explained everything in a polite and interesting manner in Japanese made for a great memory. My 4-year-old child was able to play safely. The float with the yellow underwater view was a favorite among the kids.
サンドバーの素晴らしさもありますが、ガイドさんのキャラクターや日本語でも丁寧におもしろく説明いただけて、とても良い思い出になりました。
4歳の子供も安心して遊べました。黄色の水中が見える浮き輪?が子どもたちのお気に入りでした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with your children. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on 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。
お子様と共にツアーを楽しんで頂けて嬉しく思います。
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。
It was a very thrilling tour. The excitement of boarding a submarine on the ocean (of course, safety was taken into consideration) and the sunken ships and planes after diving felt like something out of a movie.
とても迫力あるツアーでした。
海上で潜水艦に乗るところからワクワクするスリル(もちろん安全に考慮されてました)、潜水後も沈没した船や飛行機が映画のようでした。
You can enjoy horseback riding for two hours through the forest and grasslands. The view of the sea from the hill and the grasslands that look like they were used for filming Jurassic Park were beautiful. Our cute guide explained various historical facts and stories in a fast-paced manner. It was my first time horseback riding, and I had a great experience. I look forward to doing it again next time. If you're not fluent in English, I think it's better not to lead the group while riding. There are many paths that can be confusing about where to go, but that adds to the wild charm.
林の中、草原をぽくぽくと乗馬を2時間楽しめます。おかの上からの海の眺めや、ジェラシックパークの撮影につかわれたような草原など、かわいいガイドさんが、一生懸命早口でいろいろ、歴史やいわれなどを説明してくれました。初めての乗馬でしたが、とてもいい経験できました。また、次回楽しみたいです。英語が堪能でなければ、乗馬での先頭には、ならないほうが、いいと思います。どちらに行けばよいか悩むよな小道が多いですが、それもワイルドでよいです。
I had a great time with the show, which featured a variety of attractions like Michael, an Elvis impersonator, Hawaiian dance, and fire dance, keeping us entertained throughout. It's also within walking distance from the Hilton, making it a nice stroll. As a bonus, it includes a buffet. With the group, there were quite a number of people, seated at long tables of about ten. Since everything is in English, if you can communicate to some extent, you can enjoy conversations with the guests next to you. I had some light conversations with a family from the mainland. Their daughter was adorable. One downside is that there is quite a bit of time to wait for the buffet, making it a bit challenging to pass the time.
マイケル、プレスリーのそっくりさん、ハワイアンダンス、ファイアーダンスなど、次から次のアトラクションで、飽きさせない構成のショーで、十分に楽しめました。また、ヒルトンからも歩いていける距離なので、お散歩がてらにもよかったです。おまけと言っては何ですが、ビュッフェ付きです。団体さんも含めるとかなりの人数。順番に10人程度の長テーブル単位。すべて英語ですので、ある程度コミュニケーションできるとお隣のお客さんとも会話を楽しめるかと思います。私は、本土からのご家族とたわいのない会話。娘さんがかわいかったです。ビュッフェの順番まで時間が結構ありますので、時間つぶすのが難点です。
This is the most fun attraction to drive yourself. They provide helmets and dust masks, or rather neck covers, and at first, I thought it was just for atmosphere. However, as we drove through the dust, it became essential, and my clothes and shoes turned brown from the dirt. It's definitely worth a visit, but be careful about your clothing!
これは自分で運転するのが最高に楽しいアトラクションです。ヘルメットと粉塵防止の、マスクというかネックカバーが配られるのですが、最初は雰囲気作り?と思っていましたが、途中から欠かせないくらい土埃の中を走行して、服も靴も土埃で茶色になってしまいます。絶対行ってみる価値あり、服装注意って感じです。
Great experience, thank you for putting this tour together!
The staff was very courteous from the bus transportation to the wait staff! Entertainment was enjoyable and the dancers were great and gave an energetic performance. The food was delicious.
The amount of dolphins out during our tour made me feel extra lucky! The west side of Oahu is sure gorgeous
Thank you Hawaii Activities for helping me get a spot, it was an awesome day spent in the outdoors.
Smaller tour car so we were a bit skeptical at first however the guides really know the island like the back of their hand!
Hello Kara,
Glad you had a good time with Alan. He really knows the Island really well. Glad you did book our tour and hope you enjoyed all the sights and food as well. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Hawaii and please come visit us again when you have a chance.

Fun Group Hawaii
I was told this event was one of the best things on Oahu and I have to agree, it was a splendid day away from Waikiki and it Oahu's nature
From the amazing staff who fulfilled every moment. To seeing whales, turtles, dolphins and many varieties of fish. Diving off the boat into the ocean. A perfect day to end our vacation in paradise Hawaii.
I was very satisfied. The staff were kind and explained everything clearly. Thank you very much. I look forward to visiting again next year.
大変満足しました。
スタッフの方々も優しく、わかりやすい大変ありがとうございました。
また、来年宜しくお願いします。
The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time. The hamburgers were also very delicious.
I was able to see sea turtles, and the atmosphere on the boat was nice.
The bus on the way back was delayed, but there was not a single person who was irritated; in fact, the waiting time was enjoyable.
天気にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい時間でした。
ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。
ウミガメも見れたし、船の中の雰囲気も良かったです。
帰りのバスの到着が遅れてしまいましたが、イライラする人などは一人もいなくて、待ち時間も楽しかったくらいです。
It was my first Segway experience since 2019, and I had a great time with my son, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and my family of three. It felt very refreshing to be back in Hawaii, Waikiki, and Kaka'ako after a long time. I am planning to visit Hawaii again this year.
2019年以来のセグウェイ体験でした、ハワイが初めての息子と家族3人で大変楽しかったです。
久しぶりのハワイ・ワイキキ・カカアコはとても新鮮な感じがしましたよ~
今年もハワイを計画致します。
It might always be like this, but perhaps due to the year-end usage, it was very crowded. The atmosphere was a bit awkward throughout because various groups were mixed at the long table for meals. When seated, the pineapple set on the table gave off a vibe of "please share it among yourselves," which further intensified the awkwardness. The taste of the buffet was just okay. During the meal, cast members performing hula and playing the ukulele came around to each table, but if you're looking for something more substantial, this might not be the place for you. After the meal, we moved to the theater to watch a show, which was probably of high quality (the American guests were really excited about the Elvis and MJ impersonations), but it felt more like an impersonation show and lacked the Hawaiian vibe, which was disappointing.
いつもこうなのかもしれないが、年末の利用ということもあったせいかとても混雑していた。食事がロングテーブルに色々なグループが混雑しているため終始少し気まずい空気。着席時にテーブルにセットされてたパイナップルはこの辺りの人で適当に分けてねという感じで気まずい空気に更に拍車が掛かる。肝心のビュッフェの味はまあまあ。食事中にフラ踊るやウクレレ演奏するキャストが各テーブルを回って来るがしっかりとしたものを見たい人はココじゃなくても良いかも。食事の後、シアターに移動して観るショーはクオリティは高いのだろうが(アメリカ人っぽいお客さんはエルヴィスとかMJのモノマネでとても盛り上がっていたので)モノマネショーがメインといった感じでハワイっぽさはあまりないのが残念。
The crew is so friendly and willing to work with everyone on the boat. Go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the water and experience all of the activities they have to offer.
Beautiful scenery all around you and being on the sandbar was so cool. The tube and banana boat rides were a blast and the jet boat operator is a stand up dude
Mahalo for your review, kind words for our crew, and the beautiful pictures! - Team KBOS
Highly Recommended!
Superb business and employees. Pilot had excellent communication with passengers, ground crew were beyond helpful and friendly.
The views were breathtaking and you are able to capture stunning pictures of the island beauty.
