Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
My husband praises Chieko's ability to take care of my health despite my lack of sleep.
This was my third time participating, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind each time.
Thank you very much. I definitely want to participate again.
寝不足の私の体調にも気配りして下さり、チエコさんの能力を夫は賞賛しております。
今回で3回目の参加でしたが、毎回安心してスノーケリングが楽しめました。
ありがとうございました。
又必ず参加したいと思います。
The spam onigiri on the boat was delicious, and I was happy to try various snacks! There was plenty of free time, and I had a great time. During snorkeling, many fish came close, and I was able to take lots of great photos☆ I even saw three sea turtles, which was so lucky! Everyone leading the tour was kind, and it was a lot of fun. I want to go again!!
船ではスパムおにぎりおいしかったし、お菓子も色々食べれてうれしかった!
自由時間もたくさんあって、楽しめたし、シュノーケリングも魚たくさんよってきてくれて、いい写真がたくさん撮れました☆
ウミガメも3匹見れたし運よすぎ!
引率のかたみんなやさしくてとても楽しかったですまたいきたい!!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm really happy to hear that you had such a fun and delicious time in Paradise of the Sea. And three sea turtles!!! You were really lucky!!! By the way, the photos of the turtles are just too cute. Please come back to Paradise of the Sea again. I wonder if the turtles will be awake next time??? I'm looking forward to it. Mahalo!
アロハ! この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
天国の海をとっても楽しく美味しく過ごして頂けて本当に嬉しいです。そしてウミガメ3匹!!! 本当に運よすぎです!!!
それにしてもこのカメさんのお写真可愛すぎます。
またぜひ天国の海に遊びに来てくださいね。その時はこのカメさん起きているかなあ???
楽しみにお待ちしております。マハロ!
Great for all ages! My kids said it was the best day ever. They’re 4 & 6. Was able to kayak, SUP and snorkel. Also chilled inside the boat with live music. Everyone was so friendly and helpful showing their Aloha. Would recommend to anyone going to Oahu. Totally worth the price!
Mahalo for your review! We're so glad your family had a great time. -Team KBOS
I was able to see dolphins from a distance. It was my first time, and I had a lot of fun. However, it was more intense than I expected, and many Japanese women seemed to get seasick or looked uncomfortable. Since I had experienced snorkeling for the first time beforehand, I managed to keep up, but it might have been scary if it had been my first time. Also, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication. Even after getting back on land, I still felt a bit wobbly. Still, I'm glad I had the experience!
イルカを遠くでしたが見ることが出来ました。初めてでしたが、楽しかったです。ただ、思っていたより激しいので、日本人の女性たちは酔ってしまったり、きつそうな人が多かったです。事前に初めてのシュノーケリングを体験していたので、なんとかついていけましたが、初めてだったら怖かったかもしれません。あと酔い止めは飲んだ方がいいかもです。陸に上がった後もゆらゆらしてました。それでも体験できてよかったです!
Thank you for joining us!
We appreciate your advice on taking motion sickness medication, as there may be waves even in areas without wind.
Like Nunu, practicing snorkeling before the actual day will help you enjoy it even more!
ご参加ありがとうございました!
風はなくても波がある場所を通ることもございますので、酔い止めのアドバイスありがとうございます。
ぬぬーさんのように、シュノーケルも本番前に練習しておくと、より当日楽しんでいただけると思います!
I loved the sandbar! The service was outstanding!!! from the guy with the flower in his hat going over the rules and dancing. To the lifeguard that helped us attract fish while snorkeling. Most importantly, I am very happy with the service that was provided by the guy with the sun screen across with nose that gave us kayak and prattle boarding lessons. They all made me and my family comfortable and super welcomed!
Mahalo for your kind words! - Team KBOS
This trip was amazing! Dan was patient with my daughter and I not being swimmers and got us comfortable in the water. We had the best time seeing all the beautiful fish and are excited for the next chance we can snorkel! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! Photo taken by Dan!
Thank you guys, you did. Awesome! Hope we see you again. Dan.
The experience was great. The crew and the live music were great. We love all of the availability of the water sports- paddle boats, kayaks, snorkeling, lounging on the barge. The lunch was served right away so we were on a full stomach and it gave a chance for any late strivers to come on board.
Overall just a beautiful experience. The crew was super friendly, and super helpful with first time paddle boarders, snorkeling, and Kayak-ing people . The floating deck was awesome! I have been on a few other afternoon water excursions, by far this was the best one! Croissant sandwich was tasty and brought my own drinks! My kids are teenagers and they Also had a blast with all the activities ! This Trip was perfect for the entire family.. you won’t regret it.
Mahalo for sharing your experience with us - Team KBOS
Everything was great. We saw turtles and enjoyed the reef. It was a little difficult to eat lunch on the boat as there were not really any good seats for it. But the burgers were delicious.
It was the tour I was looking forward to the most, and the weather was great, making it the best day ever!! It felt like heaven, and I was so happy!! Snorkeling and swimming with the fish was a wonderful experience!
一番楽しみにしてたツアーで天気もよくて最高な一日でした!!天国って感じで幸せでした!!
シュノーケリングで魚とも泳げていい経験でした!
The parking lot was quite crowded, but it was understandable since it was the earliest optional tour in the morning. In the past, you could go freely, but now there are strict regulations regarding reservations and waiting times. However, it was very smooth since we could go through the tour company. After watching the orienteering video and stepping outside, we saw a rainbow. The guide during snorkeling was also very good, and we were able to see various fish. It would be quite difficult to go individually, so I highly recommend this tour.
駐車場は結構混んでいましたでも 朝が1番早いオプショナルツアーでしたが納得でした 昔はフリーで行けたのに今は予約やら順番待ちやら規制がとても厳しい でもツアー会社の枠で行けるのでとてもスムーズでした オリエンテーリングのビデオを見て外へ出たら虹が出ていました シュノーケリング時ガイドもとても良く色々な魚を見ることが出来ました 個人で行こうとすると大変なのでとてもお勧めのツアーです
My family had so much fun turtle snorkeling. My son got scared going in the middle of the ocean but the staff had him on his board and took him around to see the turtles and taught him so many fun facts. We had a special treat of having dolphins swim alongside the boat. Would recommend this to anyone thinking of snorkeling with turtles.
We are so happy to hear your son was able to enjoy the experience with the family! Mahalo for trusting us to host your tour!
On the day of the visit, there was a sandbar, so we could walk. However, because the tide was low, the paddle boat was too shallow and got stuck, making it difficult to ride. Snorkeling was great as we were able to see two turtles. It was allowed to bring in beer, so we brought two bottles and chilled them. It seemed that people from Taiwan brought a case of six. Enjoying beer while snacking was the best!
当日はサンドバーが出ていて歩けました 逆に潮が引いていたためパドルボートが浅すぎて引っかかって上手く乗れなかった シュノーケリングは亀が2匹も見れて良かったです ビール持ち込みOKとなっていたので2本持っていって冷やしていただきました 台湾からの人は6本ケースで持ってきていたようです スナックを食べながらのビール最高でした
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We were delighted to have you meet the sandbar and the honu (sea turtle) that you could almost see but not quite. And enjoying a beer in the ocean! I'm glad to hear that you were able to fully enjoy the paradise of the sea. Please join us again, bringing your own beer. We look forward to that day.
(Note: Alcohol is allowed, but for safety reasons, only cans are permitted. There may also be days when alcohol cannot be brought.)
アロハ! この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
逢えそうで逢えないお顔をだしてくれたサンドバーとホヌさんセットでご対面。そして海でのビール。
思い切り天国の海を楽しんで頂けたようで嬉しいです。またぜひビール持参でご参加ください。その日をお待ちしております。
(お知らせ:アルコールの持ち込みは可となっておりますが、安全上缶のみとさせていただいております。またアルコールが持ち込めないお日にちもあります。)
My wife can't swim, but the staff member Jenny warmly supported us until the end. Mahalo! I want to go to the sandbar again!
妻が泳げないのに、スタッフのジェニーがあたたかく最後まで、サポートしてくれました。マハロ!
また、サンドバーに行きたい!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. When I told Jenny about your review, she was very happy. Please, do come back to Paradise of the Sea on your next trip to Hawaii. We look forward to seeing you!
アロハ! この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ahbo様のレビューをジェニーに伝えたらとっても喜んでました。
ぜひ!!またぜひ次回のハワイ旅行も天国の海にお越しください。お待ちしております。
We had super time snorkeling at Huanama Bay.
Dan is excellent trainer, very helpful and supportive. He made sure we had a great time. Took lot of pictures and shared with us. This will be life time memories.
I will advise who wants to do snorkeling do it with Dan. Blue Divers
Thank you guys, I'm glad you enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
Most of the participants were from overseas, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, and they kindly taught us various things. I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It's essential to change clothes as your body gets cold.
参加者は海外の方がほとんどでしたが、日本語を日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、色々親切に教えて頂きました。
安心して楽しめました。体が冷えるので着替えはマストです。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同
Our family had an amazing time!! The crew was super friendly and fun!! The captain was great and the grill master the burgers were amazing!! Tyson was great answering our questions about the area.
Julia was funny and very informative about the area.
The drive over to the marina was absolutely amazing the view was incredible. I’ve never snorkeled before but felt super safe we saw sea turtles and all kinds of fish!! Would highly recommend this outing ️☀️ it was one of the highlights of our trip.
We thought it was really cool that some of our favorite movies were filmed around the area also.
Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean and 50 frost dates. Great memories were made for me and my kids thanks until next time Oahu. Mahalo
It was cold - the boat ride and the water condition once we arrived. The visibility of the water was very poor. We didn't see any fish. It was just an unpleasant experience. We did this tour with another company many years ago and it was very nice. I understand weather conditions are outside the tour company's control but they can warn customers when they know it's bad and provide options to cancel the tour.
Mahalo for joining our tour and sharing your review. We're sorry to hear that the weather was not great and you had a disappointing experience snorkeling on the day of your tour. We hope your Hawaii vacation will still be a memory to remember to make you want to come back and visit us again.
This was a great day after wedding activity. We made this an optional activity for our friends and family the day after our wedding ceremony. The live music and stories on board were even better than we expected and they knew and played our first dance song! the views and experience are really special. We had done a smaller catamaran experience before but halfway through the wedding party for that wedding were all getting seasick (partially from hangovers but the rocking didn't help). This boat is large enough you don't feel a thing and it's in the bay with calmer waters. I highly recommend!
Mahalo for your review and nice picture! - Team KBOS
I was able to enjoy various activities freely within the time limit. There were few Japanese customers and staff, but there were staff members who could speak Japanese, so it wasn't a problem. However, I felt that the free time was quite long.
いろんなアクティビティを時間内に自由に遊ぶことができました。日本人のお客さん、スタッフは少なかったですが、日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので問題なかったです。ただ自由時間が結構長かったかなという印象です。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your photos. From all of us at KBOS.
この度はツアーへのご参加、お写真シェアして頂きありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
First timers here! Crew is VERY organized and well experienced! From the moment we checked in t thru departing the crew handled customers with so much respect. .
Live band with GREAT, the funnies were actually funny and the activities were super fun! So happy to have experienced those with my family.
Would definitely pick this company again if I return to vacation in Hawaii.
Mahalo for sharing your experience and the picture! We look forward to seeing you again. - Team KBOS
I couldn't make a reservation until the last minute, but they were very kind and responded quickly. It was great since I wouldn't have been able to go on my own!
The waves were huge due to high tide, and I got swept away by the waves several times. Although the water wasn't clear, thanks to the high tide, I was able to see sea turtles!
I also saw a lot of fish, which was nice.
Since the water can be cold, those who are sensitive to the cold might want to wear a wetsuit.
予約開始ははギリギリでないとできなかったのですが、早めに対応して下さりとても親切でした。個人ではなかなか行けないので良かったです!
満ち潮のときだったのですごい波で、何度も波に流されました。透き通った海ではなかったのですが、満ち潮のおかげでウミガメが見れました!
魚もたくさん見れてよかっです。
体温を奪われるので、寒がりの方はウエットスーツがある方がいいかもです。
My family of 9 had a great time. Price was amazing, staff was great. Fun boat ride with 3 kids 14y. Water was so clear was able to see several turtles and so many fish. I would recommend this to anyone.
We are so happy to hear the whole family enjoyed their time with us! Mahalo for joining us!
The staff spoke Japanese and were very kind, which made for a wonderful experience. I got to see sea turtles in the beautiful ocean, and it was the best experience. I would love to participate again.
スタッフが日本語話せてとても親切な人でとても楽しめました。
綺麗な海でウミガメにも会えましたし、最高の体験が出来ました。また参加したいです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are so happy to receive such a wonderful review of "the best experience." Our entire staff will do our best to ensure that when we meet you again, you will enjoy it just as much, if not more. Mahalo!!
アロハ! この度はキャプテンブルース 天国の海ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
”最高の体験”なんてとっても嬉しいレビュー。ひろちょ様にまたお会いできる日にも同じ、いえそれ以上に楽しんで頂けるようスタッフ一同頑張ります。マハロ!!
I like this activity a lot because the team is nice. They play music and sing songs which makes the vibe very enjoyable. Activities included snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, and beach volley.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
This was a super fun activity. Staff members were super friendly and very responsible, making sure everyone was safe at all times while on the boat and in the water! Family saw lots of fishes and couple of turtles! The ride was a fun one and you get a great view of Waikiki. Mahalo to the team!
Mahalo for joining us!
Emi and Natsue, the Japanese staff, were very kind and provided thorough explanations. The tour included a round-trip shuttle, lunch, and bicycles (for those who can't ride, there is also a bus to Kailua Town) for a full five hours. The rental of mats and bodyboards was also good. I think this is perfect for those who want to relax on the beach but also want to shop and see Lanikai Beach. It was also appreciated by Japanese guests that there were changing rooms and lockers. I will use this service again. Thank you!
日本語スタッフのえみさんとなつえさん。
とても親切で説明も丁寧でした。(all日本語です)
ツアー内容も往復シャトルとランチと自転車(乗れない人はカイルアタウンへのバスもあり)でたっぷり5時間。ゴザやボディーボードの貸出もgood。
ビーチでのんびりしたいけど、買い物もしたい!ラニカイビーチも見たい!という人にはぴったりだと思います。
更衣室やロッカーがあるのも日本人にはありがたかったです。
また利用します。ありがとうございましたー!
Dear Yakko,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed Kailua so much. Please do come and visit us again. We look forward to seeing you.

My family and I really enjoyed the sandbar tour. We did AM tour without lunch. Donuts and beverages were provided. I enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, the live music, and friendliness of the crew. I recommend the sandbar tour and would do it again.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
It was great to travel by boat while listening to live music; it really added to the experience. Although we didn't go to a sandbar, the sea was beautiful, and we saw plenty of fish swimming around. Even as a beginner, I was taught carefully, and there were no dangerous spots at all. I could feel that all the staff were eager to make it enjoyable for everyone. However, I was disappointed that while the Japanese staff were very friendly to foreigners, they didn't seem as welcoming to Japanese guests.
生演奏を聴きながらの、船での移動盛り上がってとても良かったです。
サンドバーにはならなかったのですが、海も綺麗で魚が泳ぐところを沢山見れました。初心者でも丁寧に教えて頂き、危ないところは、ひとつもなかったです。スタッフのみんなも楽しませようという姿勢が感じられました。ただ、日本人のスタッフが外人には凄く良いのに対して、日本人にはあまり感じよくなかったので、がっかりしました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour with peace of mind, but we sincerely apologize for any discomfort caused by our staff's attitude. We will share your feedback with our team and use it to improve our services further. Thank you for your valuable comments. From all the KBOS staff.
