In March in Hawaii, it is the rainy season, so the morning of the event was cloudy. We set off hoping for a glimpse of sunshine. About ten minutes into the boat ride, we spotted a sandbar where the colors of the ocean changed like a gradient. The water level was just around knee height.
Since we had quite a bit of time, we were able to take plenty of photos, and some people were enjoying beach volleyball. After that, we enjoyed hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff on the boat. They placed the meat and cheese on the buns, and we were free to top them with lettuce, tomatoes, and other vegetables. It was very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied!
Afterward, we moved a bit from the sandbar to go sea turtle watching. Unfortunately, there weren't many turtles, and we could only see a few, but we were able to witness the adorable moment when a sea turtle poked its head out of the water to breathe.
Although the weather was unstable and we couldn't see the scenery we had envisioned, I believe that if it had been sunny, we could have enjoyed beautiful views not only at the sandbar but also while snorkeling.
Despite the disappointing weather, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!
ハワイの3月は雨季ということもあり、参加日の朝は曇りでした。
晴れ間がのぞくことを期待しながら出発。船に乗ること10分ほどでグラデーションのように海の色が変わっているサンドバーが見えてきました。水位は丁度膝の辺り。
時間は割とあるので、存分に写真も撮れますしビーチバレーを楽しんでる方もいました。
その後はスタッフさんが船上で焼いて下さったお肉のハンバーガーを頂きました。バンズにお肉とチーズをのせてくれるので、その上に自分でレタスやトマトなど野菜を自由にトッピングする形でした。とても美味しく大満足!
その後サンドバーから少し移動して海ガメウォッチングを行いました。残念ながらあまりたくさんおらず、少ししか見ることができませんでしたが、海ガメが呼吸をするために海面から頭を出す可愛らしい瞬間を見ることはできました。
今回のツアーは天気が不安定で思い描いていた景色は見られませんでしたが、晴れていればサンドバーに限らずシュノーケリング時にもかなり綺麗な景色を見ることができると思います。
天気は残念でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました!

The staff's response was good, and the tour members were attentive and engaging, which made the children very happy. If I had to say something, both children and adults need a certain level of physical fitness, as there are currents in the open sea.
スタッフの対応が良かった、ツアーメンバーの気配り、盛り上げ方など、子供達も大喜び、あえて言うなら、子供も大人もある程度の体力は求められます、外洋で流れもあります。

In the photos, it looked like the water was at ankle height, but when we actually went, it reached up to our waists. We didn't go snorkeling, so we were a bit bored while everyone else was snorkeling. There was also a pregnant woman who didn't get in the water, so I think she was even more bored. We did get to see a sea turtle!
写真では足首くらいのイメージだったが、実際行くと腰まで海がきていました。私たちはシュノーケリングをしませんでしが、皆んながシュノーケリングをしている間自由行動なので暇です。あと妊婦さんもきていましたが、海にも浸かっていなかったのでもっと暇だったと思います。ウミガメには会えました!

The driver with the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea panel will pick you up at the designated meeting spot. It takes about 50 minutes from Waikiki to the port. The weather was bad that day, with strong winds and cloudy skies, making it a bit chilly to go into the water. I borrowed a wetsuit for snorkeling because it was cold. While swimming near the coral reef, I was able to see a honu three times. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera or a waterproof cover for your smartphone. When I go back to Hawaii, I want to try again on a sunny day.
キャプテンブルース天国の海のパネルを持った運転手さんが指定の待ち合わせ場所でピックアップして下さいます。ワイキキから港までは50分ほど。当日は朝から天気が悪く、強風と曇り空で海に入るのが少し寒かったです。シュノーケリングでは寒いのでウエットスーツを借りました。サンゴ礁近辺を泳いでいると、ホヌに3回も会うことが出来ました。防水カメラまたはスマホの防水カバーの持参をおすすめします。ハワイにまた行くときは天気の良い日にリベンジしたいと思います。

You don't need to be able to swim at all! With the support of the local Japanese instructor, even someone like me who can't swim was able to see and swim with the dolphins properly! I heard that this tour might be discontinued in Hawaii to protect the wild dolphins... However, if this tour is available the next time I go to Hawaii, I definitely want to do it! It was the ultimate healing experience, and I highly recommend it in Hawaii!

Did the same dive with One Ocean last year and was so impressed I had to do this again. This time, the sharks were even more curious as to our presence and came up quite close to us at 4-5 feet distance on some pass bys. Got some incredible 4K video on the footage. Sophie and Kevin were very enthusiastic about their work and Sophie’s passion for researching sharks really shows, giving everyone information about what we saw in he water with specific characteristics and personalities of certain sharks that they frequently see. Thanks again to Sophie and Kevin and see you guys for the 3rd time hopefully soon!

When traveling by boat, the rocking was quite intense. I recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance. Even for those who usually don't get seasick, if you happen to feel unwell, you won't be able to enjoy anything, so it's safer to take it.
As for the dolphins, we were able to see them properly, and there was a large group! Since we were wearing wetsuits and life jackets, we couldn't dive, so we just watched the dolphins swimming below us. It was still an emotional experience.
We saw a small sea turtle as well. I participated in early March, but it was cold after coming up from the sea because we were moving by boat. I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket that you don't mind getting wet.
On days when dolphins are not seen, there may be an extension of time beyond the planned schedule, so it's better to keep your afternoon free.
船で移動する時は、すごく揺れが激しかったです。酔い止めを事前に飲んでおくことを、オススメします。普段酔わない方でも、万が一酔ってしまうと何も楽しめませんので、飲んでおいた方が無難だと思います。
肝心のイルカにも、ちゃんと会えました。しかも大群でした。ウエットスーツとライフジャケットを着ているため、潜れませんので、下の方でイルカが泳いでいるのを、見るという感じです。それでも感動します。
ウミガメは小さかったですが見えました。
3月の早朝に参加しましたが、海から上がったあとは、船で移動するため寒かったです。濡れてもいい上着などを持って行くと良いと思います。
イルカが見れない日は、予定よりも時間を延長する場合があるので、午後一の予定は空けておく方が良いと思います。

Thank you for participating in the tour. I appreciate your precise advice.
Especially during this season, even though it's winter in Hawaii, the water temperature isn't that low, but the boat can be cold after swimming.
The boat's sway varies with the weather, but it's always best to be prepared.
I'm very happy to hear that you encountered a large group of dolphins. The feeling of swimming together in the same ocean is truly mystical and moving!
I'm glad you also got to see the sea turtles. It's said that encountering sea turtles in Hawaii brings happiness.
Please take that happiness back to Japan with you.
In Kona on the Big Island, you can also enjoy Dolphin High School, swimming with manta rays at night, and sports fishing.

I wasn't able to see any dolphins. I participated with the understanding that the chances of seeing them were quite high, so I was quite disappointed. I thought we would be searching with some kind of detector, but it turns out we were looking for them with the naked eye from the boat.
However, I did get to see a sea turtle, and the ocean where we went snorkeling was beautiful.
Since we spent about three hours on the boat, I wouldn't recommend it for people who easily get seasick. In fact, there were quite a few people who ended up feeling sick.
The staff were friendly and helped to create a lively atmosphere, which was a positive aspect.
イルカには会えませんでした。
会える確立がかなり高いという認識で参加したので落胆は大きかったです。
探知機みたいなので探すと思っていましたが、船上から肉眼で探すそうです。
ただ、ウミガメには会えたし、シュノーケリングした海は綺麗でした。
3時間くらい船上で過ごすので酔い易い人にはお勧めしないです。
実際、酔ってダウンしている人が少なからずいました。

Aloha, Aichi Prefecture residents,
Thank you for participating in the tour. We are also disappointed that you couldn't meet Dolphin Sensei. The chances of meeting are about 90%, but depending on the sea conditions, such as water temperature, the day after fireworks, or the presence of sharks, there may be days when we cannot meet. We are glad to hear that you were able to meet Professor Turtle.

I participated in the Angel's Sea Tour on March 15, 2018. It was a cloudy and chilly day, but as we approached the sandbar, the blue sky opened up, and the contrast between the blue of the sky and the white of the sandbar was amazing.
When I got into the sea from the boat, I was surprised by the sudden depth, as the water was up to my shoulders, but it quickly became shallower, allowing me to take photos comfortably. After enjoying some beach volleyball and other activities in the water, we were treated to freshly made BBQ, which was exquisite.
I also saw plenty of sea turtles and made a wish (laughs). Finally, we moved to a spot with coral reefs for snorkeling, where I was able to enjoy the colorful fish. The tour had a good mix of foreigners and Japanese participants, and the explanations provided in a separate area for the Japanese made it easy to enjoy without any worries.
The sandbar is an experience you can only have here, so I highly recommend it to those who haven't seen it yet.
2018年3月15日に天使の海ツアーに参加しました。
雲の多い肌寒い日でしたが、サンドバーに近づくにつれ青空が広がり、空の青さとサンドバーの白さとのコントラストは最高でした。
船から海に入る時はいきなり肩まで海水につかる深さだったので、ちょっとびっくりしましたが、すぐに浅く腰までになりゆっくり写真をとることができました。
海でバレーボール等ををしてゆっくり楽しんだあとは、出来立てのBBQが待っていました。絶品でしたよ。
ウミガメもたくさん見られて、しっかり願い事もしました(笑)
最後はサンゴ礁のある場所に移動してシュノーケリングでしたが、カラフルな魚がいっぱいいて堪能することが出来ました。
外国人と日本人が半分半分くらいのツアーでしたが、日本人向けに別の場所でしっかり説明してもらい安心して楽しめました。
サンドバーはここでしか体験できないので、まだ見ていない人は是非お勧めします。

The divers make sure each participant is safe, feels comfortable, and points out the aquatic life while also allowing independent discovery. While waiting your turn to scooter, we had a wonderful time snorkeling on our own. The waters are clear and beautiful and allow perfect visibility.

I checked the tide in advance and participated in the afternoon course. The sandbar was beautiful, but there wasn't much to do after taking photos. The snorkeling was great because I got to see sea turtles. It was quite cold for this time of year, and I was shivering from the cold. They lend you wetsuits, so it would have been impossible to snorkel without one. My wife couldn't stay underwater for more than ten seconds during the snorkeling practice and gave up. If someone doesn't like the feeling of having that rubber in their mouth, it might be difficult for them. The food was warm and delicious. The kids were going back for seconds.
事前に潮を確認して、午後のコースに参加しました。サンドバーは綺麗でしたが、写真を撮ったら特にすることも無かった。シュノーケリングは海ガメが見れて良かった。この時期にしては、かなり寒いらしく、寒さで震えてた。ウェットスーツを貸してくれるので借りないとシュノーケリングは無理だった。妻は、シュノーケリングの練習で10秒以上潜っていられずシュノーケリングは断念した。あのゴムをくわえる感覚がダメな人は無理かな。ご飯は、暖かく美味しいかった。子供は、おかわりして食べていた。

I participated in the morning plan in mid-February. The day before was rainy and cold all day, but this day was sunny and warm, making it pleasant to enter the sea.
I checked the tide levels using the Kaneohe Bay Tide Chart and aimed to book during the lowest tide of my stay. It was about an hour after the Low Tide of 0.6 feet, but the water level was up to my calves in the shallowest areas.
It was my first experience snorkeling, and it wasn't difficult at all. I was able to see many colorful fish up close, and swimming with the sea turtles was a great experience.

I was able to snorkel without any anxiety because they explained the methods and sea conditions in detail in Japanese. I hadn't reserved a diving suit in advance, but they suggested that it could help prevent cold and injuries, so I borrowed one on the day. Even with the suit on, I got quite cold after about an hour of swimming, so I was really glad I could borrow it. I was moved to see not only a variety of fish but also a sea turtle up close. They picked me up from the hotel and dropped me back off, which made for a comfortable experience. They also shared various information about Hawaii during the car ride, which was helpful. Thank you for the valuable experience!
シュノーケリングの方法や海の状態を日本語でひとつひとつ丁寧に説明してもらえたので、不安なく行うことができました。ダイビングスーツを事前に申込んでいませんでしたが、寒さや怪我を防ぐことができると提案していただき、当日急遽お借りしました。スーツを着ても一時間ほど泳ぐとかなり寒くなったので、借りることができて本当によかったと思いました。たくさんの種類の魚だけでなく、ウミガメを間近で見ることができ、感動しました。ホテルでピックアップしてもらい、帰りもホテルまで送っていただけるので、快適でした。車中でもハワイのことを色々と教えてもらい、参考になりました。貴重な体験をありがとうございました!
Thank you for joining the tour with two women. I am very happy to hear that you were able to enjoy snorkeling without any worries. Even in March, the water temperature is still around 21 to 22 degrees Celsius, so I believe you were comfortable wearing the wetsuits. I'm glad you got to meet the cute turtles at Hanauma. Please do consider repeating the tour when you come back to Hawaii. We are always here to welcome you.
Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は女性二人様でツアーにお越し頂き、ありがとうございます。不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しんでいただけたとの事、とても嬉しく思います。3月になってもまだまだ冬の水温で21度から22度くらいですので、ウェットスーツを借りていただけて快適だったかと思います。ハナウマの可愛いカメにも会えて良かったですね。ぜひハワイにまたお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

I went with a female friend. However, there were only couples and newlyweds around us. (laughs) The scenery was beyond my imagination, it felt like being in a dream. The guide was also entertaining, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were exquisite.
女友達と2人で行きました。
が、周りにはカップルや新婚さんばかりでした。笑
景色は想像以上で夢の中にいるようでした。
ガイドさんも面白く、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも絶品でした。

I participated in the dolphin school. Although I wasn't expecting much since there are times when you can't see the dolphins even if they say you can swim with them, I was thrilled to encounter a dolphin right at the start. It swam right beneath us, and while spinning nearby, it jumped around, which was truly moving.
I was also able to see a large sea turtle up close, almost within reach, and I was very satisfied. The staff were bright and entertaining; at times, it felt a bit strict when we were looking for dolphins, but their desire to show us the dolphins really came through.
Overall, I was extremely tired but had a lot of fun and gained a truly valuable experience. I'm really glad I participated.
イルカ中学に参加しました。イルカと泳げると言っても見れないこともあるからあまり期待はしていなかったのですが、開始早々にイルカとご対面、私たちの真下を泳いでくれて、すぐそばでクルクル回りながらジャンプしてくれて、本当に感動しました。
大きなウミガメとは本当に手が届いてしまうほどの距離で見ることができて、大満足です。
スタッフの皆さんも明るく面白く、イルカ発見の場所では少しスパルタにも感じましたが、私たちにイルカを見せてあげたいと気持ちがとても伝わりました。
全体的に凄く疲れたけど、凄く楽しく、凄く貴重な経験ができて本当に参加して良かったと思っています。
Aloha Chiyo,
Congratulations on your graduation from Dolphin Junior High School!
We are glad you had the chance to meet our friendly Dolphin teachers. There may have been a bit of a tough love approach, but we hope you felt our desire for all students to swim with the Dolphin teachers!
We look forward to the day we can meet you again.
Mahalo,

Aloha chiyoさん
この度は私立イルカ中学ご卒業おめでとうございます!
フレンドリーなイルカ先生達にお会い頂けてよかったです。
少しスパルタな面もあったかもしれませんが、生徒の皆さん全員がイルカ先生と泳いで欲しい!
という私たちの思いを感じて頂けたなら大変嬉しく思います。
是非またchiyoさんにお会いできる日を楽しみにしております。

The weather was perfect, and the sea felt like paradise.
On the way to the sandbar, the guide's explanations built up excitement...
When we finally arrived at the sandbar, it was even more than I imagined, and I was almost moved to tears!
It felt like I was actually walking on the water.
Also, during snorkeling, several turtles came close, and I had the wonderful experience of swimming with them, which made me very satisfied!
At the final BBQ, there were many dishes, including Kona coffee, making it an experience worth more than the price! Great value!!!
I will definitely participate again next time.
Thank you very much.
お天気にも恵まれ、最高の天国の海でした。
サンドバーに行くまでにもガイドの説明でウキウキワクワクが募り。。。
いざサンドバーにつくと想像以上で、涙が出そうに感動しました!
実際に海上を歩いているような気分です。
またシュノーケリングも身近にカメが何匹も寄ってきて
一緒に泳ぐ経験ができ大満足です!
最後のBBQでも品数も多く、コナコーヒーなどもあり
金額以上の体験です!コスパよい!!!
次回も絶対参加します。
ありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Your comment, "It was the best! I will definitely participate again!" brought tears to our eyes with joy. All of our staff (including Honu!) are looking forward to the day we can see your smiling face again.

Great adventure underwater fun. Crew were friendly and efficient . Everything supplied and even if you are not a very competent swimmer you could easily manage this activity as a fully qualified diver is in the water to assist at all times.
Ideal alternative way to get under the water if you are incapable of scuba diving. Would definitely do it again The music on the boat was from the 70's and 80's which made the trip even more enjoyable as it was what I grew up listening too

It was very beautiful. However, you need to check the low tide times carefully. If you have too high expectations, it might be a bit disappointing. The staff were all very good. Their Japanese was excellent. I felt reassured.
とっても綺麗だった。でも、干潮時間はきちんと調べないと。期待過ぎると、ちょっと残念な事になるかも。スタッフの皆さんは、とても良かったです。日本語バッチリ。安心です
Aloha! I’m truly happy that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. The sandbar is a beautiful natural phenomenon created by various prehistoric conditions overlapping. While there is a tide prediction chart, the reality is that you won’t know until you visit on that specific day and time. Please come back to see the sandbar in a different light! Mahalo!
アロハ!ツアーを安心して楽しんで頂けて本当に嬉しいです。
サンドバーは様々な史前条件毛重なり合って織りなす美しい自然現象。潮の予測表はあっての、実際はその日その時間に行ってみないと判りません。
ぜひ!また違った表情のサンドバーに会いに遊びにいらして下さいね。マハロ!

I couldn't see the beautiful sea like in the pictures. It's unavoidable since it depends on the weather. The tour price is quite high, and they also expect a tip, so I wouldn't recommend it.
写真のような綺麗な海は見れず。
天気次第なので仕方ありませんが。
ツアー代もそこそこ高いのにチップもしっかり要求され、おススメしません。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea® tour. We are very sorry to hear that the weather was not favorable on the day of your tour, and you were unable to see the beautiful scenery of the sandbar. Since this is a marine activity, it is inevitably influenced by nature. However, if you have the opportunity to join our tour again, we hope you can enjoy it in good weather next time.
Regarding tips, they are not mandatory; we appreciate any gratuities from customers who are satisfied with the tour. Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. All of our staff sincerely look forward to welcoming you again.

I think it might be the season, but it was very cold with the wind blowing. If the weather is nice, I believe it could be enjoyable.
時期的にそうなのかと思いますが、風が吹いてとても寒かったです。天気がいいタイミングであれば楽しめるのではないかと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the tour the other day. I understand it was "cold." Unfortunately, we cannot control the weather for outdoor tours. I hope you didn't catch a cold. We are fully prepared with warm tea, Kona coffee, wetsuits, and blankets to welcome everyone.
Please! When you come back to Hawaii next time, we look forward to your participation for a rematch!! I hope the weather will be very favorable that day.

”寒かった”とのこですね。 屋外のツアーのため天候だけばどうしても私たちの力ではコントロール出来ず。。風邪など引かれませんでしたか?
こういうの為に暖かいお茶とコナコーヒー、ウェットスーツ、毛布など万全の対策で皆様をお迎えしております。

When I went, it was cloudy, so I was worried about whether I would be able to see dolphins, but I was able to see a pod of dolphins. They were so cute! However, I felt like the water was murky, so I would like to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!
The spot where there were turtles and fish had clear water, and I was very impressed to see the turtles up close.
It was a very satisfying experience since it’s something I don’t usually get to do.
The guide, Julie, was very interesting, and the travel time was enjoyable without being boring.
If you need to rent a wetsuit, it costs $10 per person, so I recommend bringing cash if you are worried about the cold water.
Also, the photos taken by the photographer cost around $50, so it’s good to have a card or cash if you want them.
私が行った時は曇っていたので、イルカが見られるか心配でしたが、イルカの群れを見ることができました。
とても可愛かったです。
しかし、水が濁っていたような気がしたのでまたハワイに行く時にはまた参加したいです!
カメや魚がいたスポットは水が澄んでいて間近でカメが見れてとても感激しました。
普段なかなか体験することができないことだったのでとても満足しました。
ガイドのジュリさんのお話がとても面白く移動時間も飽きることなく楽しかったです。
ウェットスーツを借りる場合には1人10ドル必要なので、海の寒さが心配な方は現金を持っていくことをおすすめします。
またカメラマンさんが撮ってくれた写真は50ドルくらいかかるのでほしい方はカードか現金があるといいです。
Aloha Kappa,
Congratulations on your graduation from Private Dolphin Middle School!
I'm glad to hear that you were able to meet not only Mr. Dolphin but also Professor Turtle. We all look forward to the day we can meet you again.
