I participated in the first morning flight at 9:00. There was no wind, and the water surface was calm. Is the ocean in Waikiki really this beautiful? The color of the sea changes as you go further. I was able to see turtles while snorkeling—three of them, large, medium, and small. The sailing after snorkeling was also refreshing! I participate every time, and each time brings a different sense of wonder.
9:00発の朝一便で参加しました
風が無く水面も穏やか。ワイキキってこんなに海きれいだったけ?な程進むごとに海の色が変わります。スノーケルも亀ちゃんと見れます。大中小の3匹見れました。スノーケル後のセイリングも気持ちいい!!毎回参加してますが毎回違った感動があります

My friend and I are first time travellers to Hawaii and we absolutely loved this experience! In the first 10 minutes, we saw a pod of dolphins and were allowed to get in the water with them. After that we continually found some more. The snorkelling was amazing as well, saw a sea turtle in the first 5 minutes of getting in the ocean. The team was friendly, informative and enthusiastic. We had an awesome time.

I participated in the sandbar activities for the first time. Due to the timing, the tide was high, and the area of the sandbar was smaller than I expected, which was a bit disappointing. However, I enjoyed activities like sea kayaking and snorkeling, and the staff were cheerful and really helped to create a fun atmosphere. I think it would be better to clarify the barbecue lunch, as it can be misleading; perhaps it should be called a BBQ hamburger lunch instead. Of course, it was delicious!
サンドバーのアクティビティに初めて参加しました。時間帯の関係で潮位が高くてサンドバー
の面積が思ったより狭かったのが残念でしたがシーバレー・・?やシュノーケリングも充分
楽しめたし、スタッフも明るく盛り上げてくれたので良かったと思います。ただ、バーベキュー
ランチというのは勘違いするので、BBQハンバーガーランチにしたほうがいいんじゃないかな。
もちろん美味しかったですよ!

This time, I participated with my two children, my husband, and my mother-in-law, making a total of five people. I was a bit worried about my mother-in-law, who is over 70, but she had a great time. The water at the sandbar was shallow enough to reach our ankles, so we could walk around. The scenery was incredibly beautiful, and the kids enjoyed playing beach volleyball. We even saw a sea turtle swimming close by while snorkeling. The staff were very accommodating, and it was truly a fun day. I would love to participate again!
今回は子供二人と主人と私と主人の義母の5人で参加しました。
義母は70歳を過ぎているので参加するのが少し不安でしたがとても楽しく参加でき、サンドバーでも水がくるぶし位だったので歩く事が出来ました。
景色もとーっても綺麗で子供達もビーチバレーなどして楽しんでいました。
シュノーケルでも海がめが近くで泳いでいるのが見れました。

I participated with my 11-year-old son.
My boat had a mix of Japanese and Western guests, but it made me feel very American.
The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, provided detailed explanations, which made me feel at ease.
The snorkeling experience was amazing; we saw many tropical fish and even sea turtles! The sandbar was also wonderful! The hamburgers for lunch were very delicious.
As others have mentioned, it's a good idea to bring towels and jackets for the return bus ride.

We jumped into the Pacific Ocean from the boat to go snorkeling in search of dolphins, so children who can't snorkel won't be able to participate. Since they charge from the age of 2, I thought we would be able to see something, but my husband stayed on the boat to take care of the kids, and in the end, I was the only one who got to go into the water. I also read in a magazine that unlike other tours, this one is divided into two hours like a university class, and I thought we would get to see sea turtles properly. However, it wasn't actually divided that way, and we could only do marine activities near the point where we could see the sea turtles, so we only had 30-40 minutes to do both and couldn't manage to do everything. Additionally, they sell photos at the end, but charging USD 60 for just the data and USD 65 for a USB is too expensive. I don't even know how much of us is in the photos, and I wish they would offer a more reasonable price.
太平洋に船から”どぼん”と入ってシュノーケルでイルカを探しに行くので、シュノーケルのできない子は無理です。2歳からお金をしっかり取られるので見れるのかと思いましたが、うちはパパが子供の面倒を見るのに船に残り、結局、海に入って見れたのは私一人でした。また、雑誌で読んだのですが、他のツアーと違い、1時間目、2時間目と別れて大学の授業風になっており、ウミガメをしっかり見れるのかと思いましたが、実際にはそんな風に分かれておらず、ウミガメを見るポイントの近くでマリンアクティビティをできるとのことで両方やるには30-40分しかないので両方できませんでした。。。また、最後に写真を販売するのですがデータのみでUSD60ドル、USB付きでUSD65は高すぎと思います、自分たちがどのくらい映っているのかもわからず、もう少し良心的な値段にしてほしいです。

This might have been the most fun part of my trip to Hawaii (^ - ^)/
We were picked up from the hotel and got on the bus around 9:20, arriving at the port around 10:10. The road was flat and easy. If we had driven, we might have arrived even faster.
After a while, we boarded the boat to the sandbar. We arrived in about 30 minutes and spent about an hour exploring and playing. The boat hardly rocked at all. The sandbar felt like a larger version of Hatenohama in Kume Island, Okinawa. There were no fish at the sandbar.
After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch and moved to see sea turtles while heading to the coral reef with fish. This took about 10 to 20 minutes, I guess? We were able to see several sea turtles.
Once we reached the coral reef, we snorkeled around there. We saw sea turtles again. We played for about an hour before heading back to the port.
今回のハワイ旅行で一番楽しかったかも(^-^)/
ホテルからのピックアップでいき、9時20分くらいにバスにのり10時10分くらいに港につきました。道も平坦で楽でした。車で行けばもっと早くついたかも。
それから、しばらくして船にのりサンドバーへ。30分くらいで着いて、1時間くらい散策して遊び。船はほとんど揺れません。サンドバーは、沖縄久米島のはての浜の大きい版という感じです。サンドバーには魚はいません。
その後、チーズバーガーを昼食にとり、ウミガメを見に移動しつつ、魚のいる珊瑚礁に。これは10~20分くらい移動でしょうか?ウミガメは数匹見ることができました。
珊瑚礁についたら、その回りをシュノーケリングで遊びます。ここでもウミガメを見ました。1時間くらい遊んで港へ。

Initially, I had hoped to book the 10:30 tour, but since I couldn't secure a reservation, I changed it to the morning and was glad to get a spot! The meeting time wasn't too early, and our meeting place, since we were staying at Trump, was the Sheraton.
We took a bus and then boarded a ferry to search for sea turtles first. The excitement when we spotted them in the beautiful sea was indescribable.
After that, we swam while snorkeling over the coral reef. Everyone wore life jackets, so even at a depth of 10 meters, it was not scary at all. The joy of swimming while seeing the coral and fish was truly a first for me and became an unforgettable memory.
The sandbar was almost at low tide, and it was really strange how far it was from the shore. I would love to participate again when I visit someday.
Breakfast was a sandwich, and the cheese was melted and really delicious.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!
最初は10時半のツアーに希望を入れていたのですが予約が取れず、朝に変更したら予約が取れて良かったです!
集合時間もそんなに早くなくて、トランプに宿泊の私たちの集合場所はシェラトンになりました。
バスに揺られ、その後フェリーに乗ってまずウミガメを探します。
綺麗な海の中から見つけられた時の感激ったらありません。
その後は珊瑚礁の上をシュノケーリングで泳ぎました。
みんなライフジャケットを着て泳ぐので、水深10メートルでも全然怖くありません。
珊瑚礁や魚を見ながら泳ぐ楽しさは本当に初めてで、忘れ難い思い出になりました。
サンドバーもほぼ干潮で、岸からかなり離れているのに本当に不思議でした。
またいつかまた訪れたときには、また参加したいです。
朝食はサンドウィッチでしたが、チーズもとろけていて本当においしかったです。

We participated as a family of five: two adults and three children, including an infant. My wife and the infant stayed on the boat to watch while the rest of us went into the sea. Our accommodation was at Aulani, a Disney Resort. We participated on July 26.
It took about 20 minutes by car from Aulani to the port.
There were no changing rooms at the port, just a dirty public restroom. I was glad we wore our swimsuits beforehand.
There were about 30 participants, all Japanese. The staff included a Japanese host, while the others were locals. The boat felt quite old.
Once we left the port and headed out to sea, we started to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which really got us excited.
The boat continued to the point where the dolphins were. I learned that the way to see the dolphins was to first spot them from the boat, then maneuver the boat ahead of where the dolphins were swimming. When the captain shouted "GO! GO! GO!", everyone quickly jumped into the sea to see the dolphins swimming.
While I was okay with it, my 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter could only swim about 10 meters, so jumping into the sea from the boat was quite scary for them. I had to more or less push them in, and honestly, it seemed very frightening for them.
Additionally, during our first encounter with the dolphins, my daughter needed to use the restroom, which caused us to miss the timing to jump in. It’s better to take care of that beforehand.
Fortunately, we were able to jump in during the second dolphin encounter and saw dolphins swimming underwater, but it seemed that some other participants missed out.
After that, we had cheeseburgers on the boat for a break and headed to the sea turtle encounter point. Unfortunately, there were no sea turtles, but we had a lot of fun kayaking together with the kids.
Finally, we all danced a Hawaiian dance on the boat before returning to the port.
It was quite hard both mentally and physically, but we were able to see dolphins, and the kids said they had a great time. I think it was a wonderful experience. At the end, the kids received small dolphin plush toys as gifts, and they were really happy about that.
夫婦+子供2人+乳児1人の5人家族で参加。
妻と乳児は海には入らず船の上で見学。
滞在先はディズニーアウラニ。
参加日は7/26。
アウラニから港までは車で20分程度でした。
港には更衣室等はなく、汚い公衆トイレがあるだけ。事前に水着を着用しておいてよかったです。
参加者は30名くらいで全員日本人でした。スタッフは司会進行(?)の方が日本人で、他は現地の方。船はわりと古い感じ。
港を出て沖に出ると、野生のイルカやウミガメがちらほら見えてきて、気分が盛り上がってきます。
そのまま船は進んでイルカがいるポイントへ。
その時知りましたが、イルカを見る方法というのは、
まず船の上からイルカを目視で見つけて、
イルカが泳ぐ先へ船で先回りし、
船長が「GO!GO!GO!」と叫んだら
みんなで大急ぎで海に飛び込み、
イルカが泳ぐ姿を見る、
というものでした。
自分はいいとして、9歳の息子と7歳の娘はまだ10mくらいしか泳げないので、船の上から海に飛び込む、というのはかなり怖かったと思います。半分放り込むような形で飛び込ませたのですが、正直かなり怖かったみたいです。
あと娘が1回目のイルカ遭遇時、大きい方を催してトイレに行き、そのせいで飛び込むタイミングを逸してしまいました。トイレは事前に済ませておいたほうがいいです。
幸い我々は2回目のイルカ遭遇時に飛び込んで、海中を泳ぐイルカを見ることができましたが、他の参加者さんは見られなかった人もいたようです。
その後船上でチーズバーガーを食べて休憩し、ウミガメ遭遇ポイントへ。
残念ながらウミガメはいませんでしたが、子供たちと一緒にダブルカヤックでたのしくあそばせてもらいました。
最後に船上でみんなでハワイアンダンスを踊って港に戻りました。
精神的にも肉体的にもけっこうハードでしたが、イルカに会うことができて、子供たちはすごく楽しかったと言ってました。いい経験になったと思います。
最後に子供たちへのプレゼントで小さいイルカのぬいぐるみをもらってましたが、それもすごく喜んでました。
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!

When we arrived at a port-like place after a bus ride from the hotel meeting point, we were greeted by a lively Japanese lady! We boarded the boat and chose our seats. My friend and I wore swimsuits, T-shirts, shorts, and rash guards, holding beach towels in our hands. After a brief explanation, we encountered a turtle. Then we took some photos and headed to the sandbar!
When we reached our destination, we had to walk down the stairs to the sea, but to our surprise, the waves were up to our chests, so we ended up soaking our T-shirts right from the start, haha! After a short walk, we arrived at the sandbar.
1. Those who can't swim stay at the sandbar.
2. After enjoying the sandbar, we split into those who would go snorkeling.
The sea, sky, and sandbar were so beautiful that it was breathtaking! I can't even count how many photos I took.
When it was time to return, everyone got back on the boat, and while climbing the stairs, the Japanese guide playfully said, "Let's splash!" and we all got drenched, haha! We were completely soaked, but it felt great! If you don't want to get wet, you can simply let them know, and you can avoid it. After that, we had a light snack and got back on the bus!
The air conditioning on the bus was quite cold, so it's best to prepare for the chill.
I had a fulfilling time!

Good time was had by all. If you don't have good sea legs, the captain may allow you to snorkel around the boat weather permitting. Be prepared to wait for others to have their turn, but you can see the fish whilst waiting as they are used to come up for feeding. The team were friendly and well organised (expect to tip at the end), good activity, although it doesn't top scuba diving.

They really went out of their way to ensure that we had a fantastic time! And, the food was amazing! Maybe it's about eating on the boat after swimming, but regardless, it was really good!
This cruise also gives us ample time to really explore the area... it goes to sandbar, a place where green turtles gather, and finally an hour of snorkeling by the reef. They were all amazing experiences, and I would say that it is a MUST for anyone traveling to Hawaii!
Thank you, Captain Bob and his crew!

I was very anxious because I can't swim. I couldn't enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before because I can't swim. However, snorkeling in water that was deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom allowed me to float and see beautiful fish, making it a life-changing experience. It's okay even if you can't swim. I think you can have a wonderful experience. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

"It wasn't the oldest company that boasts 'we dock at the shallowest spot!' but it was more than enough!
That said, if you go on an afternoon trip without checking the tide times, you might be a bit dissatisfied, so I think it's better to check the best dates and times within your schedule before making a reservation.
The buses for the round trip are a mix of nationalities, but there are two boats, one with English and the other with Japanese. The man guiding us on the bus spoke only in English, but he spoke very slowly and clearly, so even I, who can't hold a conversation, understood about half of it! On the boat, a Japanese guide provided all the explanations, which was reassuring.
Personally, what I regretted was that after coming up from snorkeling, they rinse you off with fresh water, but even though I was trying to keep my hair dry, the moment I stepped up the stairs, I got drenched from head to toe. It felt nice though..."
「一番浅いところに着岸します!」がウリの老舗さんでは

とはいえ、満潮・干潮調べずに午後便とかで行ってしまったら

It didn't matter at all!!
Before going, I wondered if Captain Bruce would be good... but in the end, the boat docked right next to us, and the destination was nature!
As the name "Sand Bar" suggests, the land stretches wide and flat, so there's no way you can't land.
(There may be times when there’s no land due to high tide, but I think that applies to any tour.)
Anyway, I'm so glad I went on this tour!
The sea was simply beautiful!!
We were blessed with great weather and saw a wonderful gradient!
It felt like I could walk forever.
And no matter how far I went, I wasn't stopped or called back; it was an incredibly free tour, and I was very satisfied!
The crew was also wonderful,
with a perfect Japanese-speaking lady who taught us about the mainland U.S. and a handsome captain with excellent photo services!
After asking the captain for tips on how to meet sea turtles and going snorkeling, I was able to swim alone with a large elder turtle covered in moss!!
I occasionally see turtles while diving, but I've never seen one that big before!! It was so moving!!
Thank you, Captain!
I would love to participate again if I have the chance! ✨
関係ありませんでした!!
私自身、行く前はキャプテンブルースが良いのかな…と思ったりもしましたが、
結局船はすぐ隣に付きましたし、目的地は自然!
サンド「バー」というだけあって、棒状に横に広ーく陸地が続いているので、
上陸できない…なんてこともないです。
(満潮で陸地がないことはありますが、それはどこのツアーでも同条件になると思います)
とにかく、このツアーで行ってよかった!
ひたすらに、美しい海!!
天気にも恵まれ素晴らしいグラデーションを見られました!
どこまででも歩いていけそうです。
そして、どこまで行っても止められたり呼び戻されたりもしない、
すごーく自由なツアーで私は大満足でした!
クルーもとっても素敵で、
アメリカ本土のことも教えてくださる日本語カンペキなお姉さんと、
写真サービスが素晴らしいイケメンキャプテン!
キャプテンにウミガメに会えるコツを聞いてからシュノーケリングに臨んだら、
甲羅が苔だらけの大きな長老カメと二人っきりで泳ぐことができました!!
ダイビングなどでもカメには時折会いますが、
後にも先にもあんなに大きいカメは初めて見ました!!感動!!
キャプテン、ありがとう!
また機会があれば参加したいです!✨

This is my fourth time at Heaven's Ocean, and it was the best weather I've experienced so far, which made it a lot of fun!
I participated with four family members and four colleagues, and we were able to see several sea turtles. During snorkeling, the turtles came very close to us, and the weather was great with the clearest water I've seen in years. Even my colleagues who were there for the first time said it was amazing.
The lunch burgers were delicious, and I definitely want to participate again next year!
天国の海は4回目ですが今迄で最高の天気で楽しかったです(^^)
家族4人と同僚4人で参加しましたが海亀は何匹も見れたりシュノーケルではすぐ真下近くまで海亀が近づいて来たり、天気も良く海の透明度もここ数年では最高だったので、初めての同僚も最高と言っていました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく是非来年も参加したいです(^^)

I got stuck in an unbelievable traffic jam on the way, spending several hours on the bus. However! The hospitality of our guide, who was determined to entertain us, was amazing!! They talked non-stop, and all their stories were incredibly interesting!! Normally, traffic jams are just exhausting, but I didn't get bored at all; instead, it turned into a great time where I could hear various stories.
That said, when I looked out at the sea from the long bus ride, I happened to see a whale spouting! What a lucky surprise!
On the boat, there was a wild singer who usually performs at luxury hotels, and a cute lady, around elementary school age, who was there just for this spring break, showing us adorable hula dances (her mother is a hula dancer, by the way!). It was a lot of fun! For lunch, the lady even drew a face with ketchup on my hamburger^^
Also, from what I could see, there was a handsome guy on board who seemed to be the best-looking in Hawaii, and a mermaid female photographer was accompanying us. The staff was so diverse, and I really enjoyed it!!
The highlight was the dolphin-calling "Mamma"! There's a superstition that if she boards, you'll get to see dolphins, and sure enough, within just 10 minutes of departure, we hit a pod of dolphins!! We quickly changed and jumped into the sea! The friendly group of dolphins played with the dead branches on the ocean floor, showing us their antics over and over again.
The dolphins we encountered were a type called spinner dolphins, which aren't found in Japan, and they even did spin jumps right in front of us! I was so moved by their acrobatics, it was like a dolphin show! I will never forget that sight, and I remember it every time I visit an aquarium!
When I looked up, I saw many dorsal fins jumping, and when I looked down into the water, I could hear the playful sounds of the dolphins. It was the best experience!
Even after we got out of the water, a pod of dozens of dolphins swam around the boat continuously.
It was such a great tour that I recommended it to my friends after returning home^^
Thank you so much, guide Su-san! I will definitely rely on you again when I go back to Hawaii✨
行きが信じられないほどの渋滞にはまり、数時間バスに籠りきりになってしまいました。
しかし!とにかくガイドの方の「楽しませよう!」というホスピタリティがすごかった!!
ずーっと休むことなく喋ってくださり、またそのお話がどれもとっても面白かったです!!
普通はしんどいだけの渋滞ですが、
飽きることはもちろんなく、むしろ色々なお話が聞けてよかったと思う時間になりました。
とはいえ長旅だったバスの中から海を見やると、
たまたまですが潮を吹くクジラが見えました!ラッキー!
船上では、普段ラグジュアリーホテルで演奏しているというワイルドな歌い手さんと、
春休みのためこの時期だけいるという小学生くらいのCuteなLadyが
とっても可愛いフラダンスを見せてくれ(お母様がフラダンサーなのだそう!)
大いに盛り上がりました!
ランチのハンバーガーはLadyがケチャップで顔を描いてくれましたよ^^
また、私が見る限りハワイ随一のイケメンさんが乗船していたり、
マーメイドの女性カメラマンが同行していたり、
とにかくスタッフさんがバラエティに富んでいて、とっても楽しめました!!
極め付けはイルカを呼ぶマンマ!
この方が乗ってくれるとイルカに会えるというジンクスがあるそうなのですが、
出港なんと10分足らずでイルカの群れにヒット!!
急いで着替えて海にドボン!
とっても人懐こい群れで、海底の枯れ枝を手や口に引っ掛けて遊んでいる様を
何度も何度も私たちに見せてくれました。
会えたのは日本にはいないスピナードルフィンという種類のイルカなのだそうですが、
目の前でスピンジャンプまでしてくれました!
イルカショー並みの回転に感動〜!
あの光景は忘れませんし、水族館に行くたび思い出します!
顔を上げればたくさんの背びれにジャンプ、
水中に顔を下げれば遊び、鳴いているイルカの声。
最高でした!
海から上がった後もずっと数十頭の群れが、船の周りをぐるぐる泳いでくれていましたよ。
とっても良いツアーだったので、
帰国してから友人にもオススメしました^^
ガイドのすーさん、本当に本当にありがとうございました!!!
またハワイに行く際はお世話になります✨
Thank you for participating. We're glad you enjoyed it. We look forward to your next participation!
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。お楽しみ頂けて何よりです。またのご参加をお待ちしております!

Taking the shuttle was the only way to go. They had all the gear we needed
However the long line to get in ate up a lot of our time. then the mandatory movie was really way to long and a lot of unnecessary info in it.
We had a great time it was the highlight of my trip.

It was good. Beautiful. The light meal buffet is all-you-can-eat. I wish I had known more about the snorkeling participants before joining, and I wanted to know what activities were available.
良かったです。綺麗。軽食ビュッフェは食べ放題。もっと、シュノーケリングの対象者を、参加前に知っていたかったし、できる事も知っていたかった。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad you enjoyed the beautiful sea. We arrange the snorkeling experience with life jackets so that even beginners can have fun. Depending on the day's sea conditions and your swimming level, we offer various ways to enjoy the experience. Please come back and visit us again! Mahalo.
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂いてありがとうございます。
美しい海を楽しんで頂けて良かったです。シュノーケルはライフジャケットを着用して頂き、初心者の方でも楽しんで頂けるようにアレンジしてます。その日の海のコンディションやお客様の泳ぎのレベルで色々な楽しみ方をご用意してます。ぜひまた遊びにいらして下さいね!マハロ。

I finally got to visit the sandbar that I had wanted to go to for a long time. The Japanese guide was very friendly and fun, and we were able to take family photos in various poses at the sandbar, which became a wonderful memory! It was also great for my second grader to practice snorkeling in the shallow waters around the sandbar. We even got to see a large sea turtle, making it the best day ever!
ずっと行きたかったサンドバーに、ついに行くことが、できました。日本人ガイドの方も、とても気さくで楽しくて、サンドバーでは、色々なポーズの家族写真を撮って頂けて、とても良い記念になりました!
2年生の子供にとっては、サンドバー辺りの浅瀬でシュノーケルの練習ができたのも、よかったです。大きな海亀にも会え、最高の1日が過ごせました!

Thank you for participating. We apologize for not being able to meet your expectations.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We will share your feedback with all our staff. Thank you for your comments.
ご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。ご希望に沿えず申し訳ございませんでした。野生の動物ですので、イルカとカメ、同じ場所でシュノーケルをする時もあれば別の場所のときもございます。そちらはご了承下さい。また頂いたご意見はスタッフ全員にシェアさせて頂きます。ご意見ありがとうございました。
