Oahu
Everyone on the boat had a great vibe that made the trip that much better. There’s nothing like swimming on the open ocean with sharks
The best crew in the world, super attentive all the time, very helpful.
Jason and Alan were very friendly and knowledgeable. Jason took me out to snorkel and I saw fish, coral, and turtles. The sandbar was really cool and neat. I recommend Captain Bruce.
Aloha Monica, on behalf of our Captain and Crew, we would like to thank you for this amazing review. We look forward to having you onboard with us again in the future!
We had a great time. The crew was exceptionally friendly. The boat was clean and they offered drinks and snacks.
I can’t say enough on the crew members they were very accommodating and made our trip extremely fun
The views were incredible. Snorkeling on the barrier reef was a one of a kind experience.
Mahalo Claudia! We're very pleased to hear that you had a great time at sandbar. Thank you so much for joining us and giving us your wonderful review. We hope to see you in the near future!
A must do when visiting Oahu. The crew was amazing. The best excursion we booked.
Had a blast staff was more than helpful and patient with me and my wife... A must do
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!
Highly recommended. Had a great time! We saw turtles and lots of fish!
The staff were amazing! Mai Tai’s were great. We saw a turtle and some fish. Wonderful experience
Great tour. Absolutely breathtaking out there. Thank you Captain Bruce
Your very Welcome! Aloha and Mahalo Nui Elaina
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.
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
amazing time, totally worth every penny loved it and would def do it again
The crew was amazing! They were super friendly and would help us find turtles while we were snorkeling. The boat ride was smooth, had refreshments, and their mai tai were delicious. I would highly recommend this tour. Was able to see many fishes, got yummy drinks, and was a fun time overall.
Fun trip, good crew. Snorkeling was a bit crowded and water not as clear as expected.
Meeting wild dolphins is truly moving! I was able to encounter spinner dolphins. I recommend wearing a swimsuit from the hotel and putting a T-shirt over it.
やっぱ野生のイルカに会えると感動しますね!
スピナードルフィンに出会うことができました。
ホテルから水着着用して、うえからTシャツ着ることをおすすめします。
There are two types of courses: an early morning departure and a midday departure. With the early morning departure, the water level is about knee-deep, while with the midday departure, it rises to just above the knees. They have plenty of inflatable toys and equipment available, so you can enjoy yourself without any worries. The staff follows very strict safety standards, so I think you can feel safe bringing children along to play.
早朝の出発か、昼発の2タイプコースがありました。
早朝出発だと、水位がひざ下まで、昼発だと水位がひざうえぐらいまであがるようです。
浮き輪などの遊具もたくさん用意してくれているので、気軽に楽しめます。
すんごい安全基準の厳しいスタッフさんなので、こども連れでも安心して遊べるとおもいますよ。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We prioritize safety to ensure that everyone in your family, including your children, can enjoy the tour! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at the sandbar.
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。お子様をはじめ、ご家族全員でお楽しみいただけるよう、安全第一でツアーを運航しております!サンドバーでの時間を楽しんでいただけたようで良かったです
We had a great time! I wouldn't recommend paddling out to the sandbar if you have younger kids with you. It was a great place to snorkel and staff was incredibly helpful! Equipment in good shape!
Aloha Ann! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure, and for taking the time to leave such a positive and helpful review! That's really good feedback, and we really appreciate that very much! Hope to see you again soon!
I love staffs. They are so nice and took good care of us. They even help you take a photo. Worth it!
Turtles were amazing, Mai tais delish, and the crew was awesome!
I had an amazing time with the Captain Bob crew! The sandbar was absolutely beautiful and views overall were incredible. Lunch was provided and actually very tasty! The crew was fun and added to the experience. I would definitely recommend!
This was hands down the best highlight our my trip!!! The staff Captain Iggy, Mike, Paul and Yuki were super sweet, accommodating, and helpful! I will definitely do it again! I recommend doing this 10 out of 10!
We participated as a family of five, with the youngest being five years old. It was quite hard with diving in and out of the sea... It would be fine for just adults, but it can be tiring with small children. We finally got to see the dolphins at the end, and the excitement when we saw them was immense. We also had a little time for snorkeling, which was fun. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and from the boat, we saw many sea turtles and dolphins, but we couldn't swim together with many of them... I want to try again next time. It's definitely worth participating!
家族5人で参加しました。1番下は5歳。
結構ハードに海にダイブしたり上がったりと…大人だけなら良いですが小さな子連れだと疲れます。肝心のイルカは最後にやっと見れました。見れた時の感動は大きかったです。少しだけシュノーケリングの時間もあり楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでも海亀さん見れて船の上からは何度も海亀さん見れて、船の上からは沢山イルカ見れましたが一緒に沢山はさほど泳げませんでした…また次回トライしたいです。参加する価値はあります‼︎
Thank you for participating! The situation with the wild dolphins varies each time, so please come back for another new experience. I look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo
ご参加ありがとうございました!
野生のイルカの状況は毎回違いますので、是非また新たな体験にいらしてくださいね。
またお会いできるのを楽しみにしています!
Mahalo
It was my first time snorkling and I had so much fun. the sandbar is definitely a place to go for. Also, getting to watch the turtles swimming was amazing!
My "good" vs "outstanding" rating is 100% dependent on the time of the year. So I had actually done this trip before but in July which I loved. I ended up spending my bday alone during the day so decided I wanted to come back out to the sandbar. Well nothing had changed from the last time, same good food, same great crew, great snorkeling. Not sure if it matters but when I went in July the water was knee deep, when I went in October it was up to my chest. Now I'm only 5ft tall so wasn't gonna drown but it was just different. It was also a little more windy so I'm just gonna chalk it up to a new "season". Still had a great experience but I will more than likely make my sandbar trips in the summer vs the "fall". Still a great friendly crew so don't forget to bring cash to tip them at the end!
Had a blast. Turtles swam up right next to you a long with school of fish
I booked this cruise for myself and my family. My son was 11 at the time and about 4 feet tall. I only say this so it makes sense. Well we got there later than we wanted to (we live on island and drove ourselves). Couldn't find parking and the crew let us know where we could park because the little store next to the boats is actually closed for good so that worked out! So yes if you are driving yourself get there early so you aren't freaking out too lol. We got on and they took us to the sandbar where they set up a volleyball net for us and we all got off where the water was down to our knees. So my child wasn't in any danger of drowning. The meal was the most basic hamburger bbq thing you can probably imagine so don't think you are getting some 5 course meal. It def hit the spot and I did not mind it at all. They offered some beer choices and wine as well as non-alcoholic drinks. The alcohol was not free. Not a big deal at all and didn't expect it to be. They took card and cash :) After a little bit of being out there we went out to a reef and were given gear to go snorkeling. It was beautiful. We were also pointed out things such as Gilligan's island at some point. Lastly we saw turtles and the crew had music playing through the trip. They were very nice. Don't bring too much stuff with you tho because when it was at 100% capacity you had to really squish. Towel, water, sunscreen and your own alcohol is what you should probably bring lol. Overall great July experience, great crew and perfect for taking your visiting family and friends from the mainland. Don't forger to bring cash to leave tips at the end of the trip!
We had such a great time. The instructors are amazing and patient. This is the snorkeling trip you want to go on.
I love this it was amazing everybody should visit this when they are in Hawaii
The crew were amazing! They not only showed us where to find all the turtles while we snorkeled (saw about 5/6 different turtles surfacing a million times right next to us), they followed a pod of dolphins for a while so we could get a good view and watch them in their element. We drove around the water for a bit before going back as well so you can snack and drink after snorkeling. The weather was amazing and we were the only boat out there (did the 8AM tour) for majority of the time so had all the ocean to ourselves! Some people didn’t/couldn’t snorkel but they hanged out on the Net of the Catamaran with their drinks and still had a great time napping and drinking lol.
