I had a really great time!
We were blessed with good weather and were able to see many dolphins! I'm truly happy to have encountered sea turtles as well!
The guide was a bit scary, but explained everything thoroughly!
The boat sways quite a bit, so it's definitely better to take motion sickness medication.
本当に楽しかった!
天気に恵まれて、たくさんのイルカを見ることができました!ウミガメにもあえて本当幸せです!
ガイドさんは少しこわいけどしっかり説明してくれました!
船はかなり揺れるので酔い止めは絶対飲んだ方が良いです。

My husband and I participated, but we were the only Japanese guests among foreign customers. Before boarding the boat, we had our picture taken in front of it. There was no explanation in Japanese, but we could enjoy the view of Waikiki from the boat. It was my first time snorkeling, but the children among the guests were enjoying it without fear (laughs), so I was able to enjoy the atmosphere. The snorkeling spot was deep enough that you couldn't touch the bottom. They provided floatation devices, so I could snorkel safely and enjoyably. It was quite windy and cold on the boat, so I recommend bringing a jacket.
夫と二人で参加したのですが、私たち以外は外国人のお客様でした。
船に乗る前に、船の前で写真をとってもらいまいした。
日本語で説明はありませんが、船からワイキキの景色を楽しむことができます。
シュノーケリングは初めてだったのですが、子供のゲストの方がシュノーケリングを
恐れることなく楽しんでいたので(笑) その場の雰囲気で楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリングをする場所は、足がつかない深さでした。浮き輪のようなグッズを貸してもらえるので、安心して楽しくシュノーケリングを楽しめました。
船上は風がきつく寒かったので、上着を持って行くことをおすすめします。

I tend to get motion sickness, so I took anti-nausea medication on the morning of the trip, but I started feeling sick on the way back and ended up vomiting... The staff advised me that it's better to take the medication starting the night before. Since the boat sways quite a bit, I recommend that those who are prone to motion sickness take it the night before. Although I got seasick, I was moved to be able to swim with wild dolphins!☆
乗り物酔いをしやすいわたしは当日の朝に酔い止め薬を飲みましたが帰りの船上で気分が悪くなり吐いてしまいました・・・

If your looking to see turtles, this is the excursion for you! The staff was professional and entertaining. Lunch was provided, which had not been mentioned when booked but appreciated. The sail following snorkeling was very nice. If your looking to see lots of tropical, colorful fish this is not the excursion for you.

It was a beautiful, sunny, windy day, the waves were choppy and the dolphins were no where in sight but the humpback whales and the green sea turtles made up for it. From the time we boarded the catamaran till the time we were dropped off back to the hotel the crew members were very attentive to our needs. With the choppy waves my daughter got ill but with the good nap on the cushion, located in the bow, she was all refreshed and ready to snorkel.
It was the first time for my children to snorkel but Lawrence took very good care of them on and off the catamaran. The most memorable moment was when they caught a fish and had asked my son reel in the catch. His dream came true that moment! Thank you Ko Olina Ocean Adventures, its crew members and Jacob for making it special day for us. We will be sure to visit you again!

I participated on March 2nd. The weather was clear. After a 40-minute drive from Honolulu, we switched to a boat. By the way, there were 80 participants that day! We split into two boats and first went for a sea turtle watch. We saw about three turtles. Since we were on the boat, we weren't very close. I wasn't expecting much, so it was okay, and then we moved to the sandbar. From a distance, you could see a different color area gradually getting closer! When the boat arrived, I felt a sense of awe, but when I got off... wow!!! I was standing on the water! It was amazing! I took a lot of pictures, but since there were 80 people, we spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar. It was pretty cold standing after getting wet. Then we split into snorkeling and lunch groups, and afterward, we switched. We also played a bit with floaties and kayaks before finishing. On the way back, you can buy photos taken by Captain Bruce for $10.
We arrived at the sandbar around 10 AM, and at that time, the water was about knee-deep. If you check online for the sandbar's low tide, you can find out the tide times for that day. I felt like 10 AM was about twice as deep as at low tide. The height you often see in pictures is indeed around the shin level. I've heard that sometimes you can't access the sandbar at high tide, so it's good to confirm. The day I participated, low tide was at 8 AM, so I wanted to join the early morning tour (which you need to book directly with Captain Bruce)... When I booked the tour in January, it wasn't available, but the early morning tour had somehow returned... and the period was from March 2nd, the day I participated... I regret not checking!
I highly recommend this tour. However, I think it's important to check the tide times thoroughly! Also, it was quite cold, and there were people with purple lips, so I think a waterproof hoodie or something similar is necessary.
3月2日に参加。天候は晴れ。
ホノルルから車に揺られて40分。その後船に乗り換えてます。ちなみにこの日の参加者は80人!2艇に分かれてまずはウミガメウォッチ。3匹くらい見えました。船の上からなのでそんなに近くないです。そんなに期待してなかったしまあまあの感じで、サンドバーに移動。遠くから見も色が違うとこがだんだん近づいてくる!船が着いた時はほーっと感じでしたが、降り立つと…おー!!!海の上に立っている!すげー!って感じでした。写真を撮りまくりましたが、80人もいるので結構な時間サンドバーにいました。体が濡れた後立っていると結構寒いです。そしてシュノーケリングとランチに分かれ、その後交換みたいな感じでした。その後も少し浮き輪やカヤックなどで遊んで終了です。帰りにキャプテンブルース側で撮ってくれた写真を10ドルで買えます。
10時くらいにサンドバーに着きましたが、その時にはひざ上ぐらいの深さでした。ネットでサンドバー干潮で調べるとその日の満潮干潮が分かります。10時は干潮の時の倍くらいの深さだった気がします。よく写真でみるのは確かにすねくらいの高さだな。満潮のときはサンドバーに入れないこともあると聞いたこともあるので、要確認です。
参加した日は8時が干潮でしたので、早朝ツアー(キャプテンブルースで直接申し込み必要)に参加したかった…ツアー申し込んだ時(1月)にはなかったのに、早朝ツアーがいつの間にか復活していた…しかも期間は自分が参加した3月2日から…自分の確認不足、悔やまれる!
このツアーは超おすすめです。ただしっかり満潮干潮を調べたほうがいいと思います!あと結構寒くて唇紫色している人もいたので、濡れてもいいパーカーなど必要だと思います。

A bright, cheerful, and funny Japanese guide came to greet us☆
First, we went to see the turtles♪ From the boat, we spotted many sea turtles, and miraculously, we even saw a manta ray!
It was a bit far away, but we caught a glimpse☆
Next, we headed to the sandbar! The weather wasn't great, so it was a bit chilly, but it still felt nice\(^o^)/
The guide was super enthusiastic and took lots of photos, which was really fun ( ^ω^ )
We then went snorkeling and observed the fish living around the coral♪
Back on the boat, it was sandwich time♪
The boat also had a restroom, which made it comfortable!
I checked the tide levels for the day we were going, and it turned out to be just right, so I think it's a good idea to check in advance♪
明るく元気でジョークのうまい日本語ガイドさんが迎えに来てくれました☆
最初はタートルウォッチ♪
船上からたくさんの海亀を見てると、
奇跡的にマンタが!
ちょっと遠かったですがチラ見できました☆
続いてサンドバー!
天気があまり良くなかったので寒かったですがそれでも気持ちよかった\(^o^)/
ガイドさんがめっちゃノリノリで写真撮ってくれて楽しかったです( ^ω^ )
そのままシュノーケルしてサンゴの周りに住む魚達を観察♪
船に戻ってサンドイッチタイム♪
船にはトイレもついてて快適でした!

I participated alone, but I had so much fun from start to finish. Since it was nature, I thought it would be lucky to see dolphins, but I was amazed to see over 100 of them!!! I also got to see a whale breach and swim with sea turtles.
In the morning, I enjoyed freshly made malasadas from Leonard's, and for lunch, I had a cheeseburger, juice, and snacks, so I never felt hungry♪
Above all, the staff were absolutely fantastic. Sue kept talking to us, which made me feel at ease, and they took great photos of me while I was playing in the ocean. When I thought it was cold, they brought out warm tea, and they promptly collected any trash, so they really took care of everything.
"They say swimming with dolphins is a once-in-a-lifetime dream, right? Today is that day! Since they are wild dolphins, there's no guarantee, but all of us staff want you to fulfill your dreams! You won't get this chance many times in your life!"
It was a precious day during my trip. Their warm words and actions from our perspective were very touching♡
I will definitely participate again! Dolphin University is the best!!!!
一人で参加したのですが、最初から最後までとっても楽しかったです。
自然相手なのでイルカに会えたらラッキーとは思っていましたがまさかの100頭越え!!!
クジラのブリーチも見れて、ウミガメとも泳ぐ事が出来ました。
朝はレナーズの出来たてマラサダを頂き、お昼にはチーズバーガーとジュースとスナックも頂いたので空腹になる事がありませんでした♪
何よりもスタッフの方が最高に良かったです。
スーさんがひたすら話してくれていたので安心感がありましたし、海で遊んでいる自分の写真もイイ感じに撮って頂けます。寒いな~と思った時には温かいお茶を出していただけたり、ゴミもすぐに回収しに来てくれるので至れり尽くせりです。
「イルカと泳ぎたな~って一生に一度は思う夢の事だよね?
今日はまさにその時!野生のイルカだから100%は無いけど、私達スタッフは皆さんに夢を叶えて欲しいと思ってるんだよ~!こんなチャンス一生に何回もないでしょ?」

The guide and staff were fun and cheerful, making the experience enjoyable. However, it was a bit disappointing that the sky was cloudy and the waves were high that day. The sandbar was about knee-deep. There's not much you can do about the weather, though. I purchased some beautiful photos taken with a DSLR camera. If you're looking to save money, I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.
The snorkeling was very safe, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to see sea turtles up close. The BBQ lunch was delicious, with a healthy flavor and content that Japanese people tend to prefer.
We participated in snorkeling, which was great, but those who didn't might have found it a bit boring. Families were feeding the turtles and taking photos, while some couples were napping on the boat. Even as a beginner swimmer, I didn't find snorkeling difficult, so I think participating would likely lead to a higher satisfaction level.
ガイドさんをはじめスタッフが楽しく陽気な人柄で楽しませてくれました。ただ、この日は終始曇り空で波が高かったのがちょっと残念でした、、、サンドバーも膝丈くらいまではあったかな。お天気ばかりは仕方がないことですね^^;一眼レフで綺麗に写真を撮っていただけたので購入しました。節約したい方は防水用カメラ持参がオススメです。
シュノーケリングも十分に安全を確保してもらい、堪能できました。ウミガメも間近で見ることができました。BBQランチは、日本人好みのヘルシーな味付けと内容でとてもおいしくいただきました。
私たちはシュノーケリングに参加したのでよかったのですが、参加しなかった方は少し退屈だったのかも。家族連れはカメに餌をあげたり写真を撮って楽しんでいましたが、カップルの中には船で眠っている方もいました。泳ぎは初心者の私でもシュノーケリングは難しく感じなかったので、できれば参加したほうが満足度が高いかなと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Although the weather wasn't perfect, I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for sharing various experiences with us. Please come back to visit again! We look forward to seeing you.

I participated because I heard there would be dolphins and SUP.
...There were dolphins, but the sea was murky, so I couldn't see them well (tears).
Moreover, SUP was canceled due to the poor sea conditions.
I was fine, but there were many people on their honeymoon, and it was quite unfortunate to see that a significant number of them were getting seasick.
There were also people from Dolphin Junior High nearby, and it seemed that the first discoverer was from Dolphin Junior High, so they were able to enjoy the experience much closer and for a longer time than we could.
イルカとSUPもあるというので参加しました。
・・・がいるにはいましたが、海が濁っていてよく見えない(涙)
おまけに海の状態が悪いからとSUPは中止。

I participated in an activity with friends for my first trip to Hawaii! After checking online reviews, I enrolled in Dolphin University.
Since it was an early morning, it was definitely a good decision to avoid the day after I arrived! On the bus, there were mostly safety instructions, and I was a bit worried if it would really be fun...
But starting from the malasada, I gradually felt more refreshed, and once we got on the boat, my excitement was through the roof!
We even got to see a mother and baby whale, which was truly moving for everyone! After that, we swam with dolphins and even encountered a sea turtle.
You should be cautious about your stamina and seasickness, but I think it's a tour I can recommend!
初ハワイで友達と何かアクティビティーに参加しよう!ということでネットの評判を見てイルカ大学へ入学しました♪
朝はやいので、着いた日の次の日は避けて正解でした!バスの中では注意事項などばかりでほんとに楽しいかなぁ〜って少し不安に…

The sandbar unfortunately didn't have any sand, but I was able to enjoy myself in water that was about ankle-deep. I was able to see turtles swimming in the sea as well. Snorkeling was my first experience, and I was scared, so I could only do it for a short time, but I was able to see corals and fish. However, in the afternoon, clouds came out and it got cold, so I regretted not bringing more warm clothing. The staff were all friendly and nice people. Next time, I would like to go in spring or summer.

We took a catamaran ride as a couple in our 50s. The two handsome crew members didn't speak Japanese, but they were friendly and we managed with their broken English. My wife can't swim, but they provided life jackets and simple floaties, so there were no issues. Above all, the experience of swimming with sea turtles was invaluable. The free hamburgers they provided were also delicious. However, be careful as the meeting point is at the left end of Outrigger Beach facing the sea, and it was hard to find. There were no signs or anything.

Usually, I enjoy a free-spirited trip in Hawaii by renting a car, but this time I found driving a bit cumbersome, so I utilized various plans. This "sandbar tour" was one of them.
We enjoyed the beautiful water and friendly staff (especially the women, who provided attentive service that left a strong impression). We also got to see sea turtles!
There is just one disappointing point. For us in our 60s, January can be a bit chilly! Even the beautiful sea was only bearable for about 15 minutes. I recommend that those visiting during this time prepare for the cold. Other than that, I highly recommend it without any complaints.
普段、ハワイ旅行ではレンタカーを借りて勝手な旅を楽しみましたが
少し運転も億劫になったので、今回はいろいろなプランを利用しました。
この 「サンドバー ツアー」 もその一つ。
綺麗な水、フレンドリーなスタッフ(特に女性が多くてきめ細かい接待
が印象的でした)で、サンドバーとスノーケリングを楽しみました。
海亀も見られましたよ!!
一つだけ、残念な点があります。
それは、60歳代の我々にとってⅠ月は少し寒い !!
せっかくの美しい海も 15分が限度でした。この時期に出向かれる方は
寒さ対策をお薦めします。

We participated as a family of four: a couple with a 12-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl. Since it was February 11, we rented wetsuits for the whole family. We started in shallow water to get a feel for things before moving to deeper areas. I think we swam quite a bit, and since our 7-year-old girl (who has snorkeling experience) was in the care of our guide, Chieko, we felt at ease. We were also able to see turtles. As mentioned, we only needed swimsuits, towels, a change of clothes, and minimal cash, which was not a problem. A camera is not necessary unless it's an underwater camera. We brought our underwater video camera, but the guide's camera took much better pictures. Our remaining cash and mobile phone were safely stored in a sturdy box, which gave us peace of mind. We had a great time, so thank you very much!
夫婦+12歳男の子+7歳女の子の家族4人で参加させていただきました。2月11日でもあり家族全員ウエットスールもレンタルしました。最初浅いところで様子を見ていただき、
深いところへ。けっこう泳いだと思いますが、7歳女の子(シュノーケル経験あり)はガイドさん(チエコさん)にお任せでしたので、安心でした。カメにも会うことができました。ご案内通り、水着とタオル、着替え、最小限の現金さえあれば問題ありませんでした。カメラも水中カメラでないならいりません。うちは水中ビデオカメラを持っていきましたが、ガイドさんのカメラの方が素晴らしい写りです。現金(残り)と携帯電話は頑丈なBOXに入れていただいたので安心でした。とても楽しめたので感謝です。ありがとうございました。

The participants were mostly Japanese, and the guide who took us out to sea spoke Japanese, which made the tour worry-free for us since we couldn't speak English.
We were blessed with good weather, enjoying clear skies during this season! Although we couldn't see the sandbar at low tide, the clarity of the seawater was amazing! The interactions with the guide and other participants were also very enjoyable.
From the boat, we were able to spot several sea turtles, and during my first-ever snorkeling experience, I miraculously swam right next to a sea turtle.
Since we went on our honeymoon, it became an unforgettable memory for us!
I would love to participate again next time!
参加者がほぼ日本人、海に出てからのガイドさんも日本語が通じる方で英語が話せない私たちにとって不安要素が無いツアーでした。
天候にも恵まれ、この時期に晴天!
潮が引いた状態のサンドバーは見られなかったものの、海水の透明感が凄かった!
ガイドさんや参加者とのバレーもとても面白かったです^^
船上からのウミガメウォッチはカメさんを何匹も確認出来、生まれて初めてのシュノーケルでは、奇跡的にウミガメの真横を泳ぐことが出来ました。
新婚旅行で行ったので一生忘れられない思い出になりました♪
また次行く時も参加したいと思います\(^o^)/

I participated with my daughter and wife. The instructor mentioned that there have been days recently when they haven't been able to see dolphins, and many days have been canceled due to bad weather (high waves), but today the weather was nice, which was great.
Indeed, the weather was good on the day of our visit, with a clear blue sky that made the sun feel quite intense on our skin. However, it was still windy and cold, so I received advice to wear a wetsuit, and I had my daughter and wife put them on. I didn't wear one myself, but I brought enough clothing to stay warm, and I made sure to put on a jacket as soon as I got on the boat, so I was fine. In the end, my daughter and wife appreciated that I was easy to spot when we entered the water.
Of course, we were lucky enough to see both dolphins and turtles. We also spotted whales a few times... although I turned around and they were already gone.
In any case, make sure to prepare for the cold when you participate.
娘と妻と3人で参加しました。
インストラクターの方から最近イルカに会えてない日があったり、天気が悪くて(波が高くて)キャンセルになっている日が多いんですけど、今日は天気が良くてよかったですねと言われました。
確かに当日は天気が良くて、日があたっていると肌にジリジリ感じるくらいの青空でしたが、
それでも風が強くて寒いのでウェットスーツを着た方がいいですよとアドバイスをいただいて娘と妻には着用させました。自分は着なかったんですが寒くならない程度に着衣を持っていき、ボートに上がった時はすぐ羽織るようにしたので大丈夫でした。結果的には、海に入ったとき自分を見つけやすくてよかったよと言われ娘と妻には好評でした。
もちろん運よくイルカもカメとも会うことができました。
クジラも数回見ることができましたよ・・・自分は振り向いたらもういなかったですけど。
とにかく寒さ対策をしてご参加を。

These guys provided exactly the service you would expect. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and the gear provided was great. For a trip to Hanamu Bay you couldn't ask for anything else
MAHALO

Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea the other day. The sandbar shows various expressions as it is an optional tour in nature. As recommended by Shunpoi, please refer to the tide prediction chart. However, please note that this is just a prediction as it is influenced by various natural conditions. Also, the atmosphere of the sandbar changes depending on the weather that day, so it will be a surprise to see what kind of sandbar you encounter at that time! When you come to Hawaii next time, please come back to experience the sandbar's different expressions. Mahalo!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海にご参加ありがとうございます。
自然の中でのオプショナルツアーのためサンドバーは様々な表情を見せてくれます。
shunpoi様もお勧め頂いていますように潮の予測表をぜひ参考されてくださいね。
但し様々な自然条件に影響される為にあくまでもこれは予測となります。
またその日のお天気によってもサンドバーの雰囲気は違って来ますので、どんな表情のサンドバーに出会えるかはその日その時間迄の楽しみとなるんですよ〜。
次回ハワイにお越しの際も、また違った表情のサンドバーに出会いにぜひまた遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo!
