Oahu
Aloha! We are local residents of the island Oahu and have never been fortunate enough to do an activity like this one... until now!
Captain Bob's tour was an adventure full of variety for even the local resident. The sandbar was amazing and a great place to start the activity. We were surprised at the size of the sandbar and even though our tour was a crowded we had ample space to enjoy our own privacy and each others company. There was also volleyball set up in the middle of the ocean for playing and group enjoyment.
We then went to a spot where we saw an abundance of sea turtles. As locals of Hawaii, turtles are no big surprise and are often seen in our waters everywhere. However, when we cruised over the area - they were such an amazing and beautiful sight, that we started to ooh and ahh!
The actual snorkeling was also an experience. The reef that we were brought to was private and well marked and preserved. It was beautiful to swim around the edges and explore. It was the
Even though we went to Hawaii, at the beach, it felt like we were just soaking in the ocean as if we were in a hot spring while holding onto a float... The hotel pool had a "no diving" rule with large floats...
Since we came to this tropical island, we signed up for this tour so that our fifth-grade child could have fun. It's a bit far from Waikiki, but the shuttle service made us feel secure♪ Not only the kids, but the adults also had a great time and enjoyed themselves. When I asked my child, "What is your favorite memory of Hawaii?" the answer was that this tour was the most fun! I want to go again!☆
Even our family members who can't speak any English enjoyed themselves without any issues♪
せっかくハワイに行っても海では
『浮輪につかまってはいるものの、温泉に入ってるかのように海に浸かってるだけ』…。
ホテルのプールは『大きな浮輪・飛び込み禁止』…。
せっかく常夏の島にきたんだから小学5年生の子供がはしゃげるようにとこのツアーに申し込みました。
ワイキキからは遠いけど送迎もあるので安心♪
子供だけでなく大人も十分、はしゃいで楽しめました。
子供に『ハワイの思い出は?』と聞くと、このツアーが一番楽しかった!また行きたい! という答えが返ってきます☆
英語が全く話せない我が家のメンバーでも不自由なく楽しめました♪
I had my first encounter with wild dolphins!
While enjoying the peaceful scenery, I headed to Waianae Harbor on the west side of Oahu! After about five minutes out on the boat in the clear, beautiful sea, we got ready to swim. While changing into a wetsuit (top half) and life jacket with careful instructions, a pod of dolphins appeared!
A group of dolphins was gracefully swimming slowly near the boat! There were about 20 to 30 of them in total. Some dolphins even jumped energetically! Upon closer inspection, I saw baby dolphins jumping too!!!
It seems I was lucky this time, as the pod performed near the boat for over 30 minutes. Those who swam closer could even hear the dolphins' calls♪
After that, we went snorkeling at a place called "Dragon Palace," which is full of sea turtles! A sea turtle came right next to the boat, so I was really glad to see it up close.
The BBQ on the boat after getting tired from all the excitement and the hula performed by the local staff was also great.
Thank you for this precious experience!
初めて野生のイルカに会ってきました!
のどかな風景を眺めつつ、オアフ島西部ワイアナエ・ハーバーへ!透き通っててきれいな海をボートで沖へ5分ほど行ったところで、泳ぐ準備をしました。丁寧な説明を受けながら、ウェットスーツ(上半身)とライフジャケットに着替えていたら、イルカの群れが!
ボートの近くをイルカの群れが優雅にゆ~っくりと泳いでいるんです!合計で20~30頭くらいかな?中には勢いよくジャンプを披露してくれるイルカも!よーく見たら、赤ちゃんイルカも一緒にジャンプ!!!
今回はラッキーだったみたいで、イルカの群れがボート近くで30分以上パフォーマンスを披露してくれてました。近くまで泳いでいった人は、イルカの鳴き声とかも聞こえたんだとか♪
その後、竜宮城と呼ばれるウミガメが沢山いるところでシュノーケリング!ボートすぐ横にウミガメがでてきてくれたので、すごく近くで見れてよかったです。
はしゃぎ疲れた後の船上BBQでの腹ごしらえやロコスタッフによるフラもよかったです。
貴重な体験を有難うございます!
i wanted to do something special for my girlfriend's birthday during our stay in Oahu.... Turns out it was a success!!!!
I booked the 3 star dinner w/ special occasion feature for my girl and I. The food was great! loved the lobster and steak... our waitress Jasmine was great also! It didnt take very long for us to get our plates.... The view of diamond head was amazing... When it was time for sunset, we headed up to the observation deck, WHAT A SIGHT!!!! We took a couple of photos and one of the other guests offered to take a photo op for us.... After seeing the picture she took of us, we realized what that picture could be! "something much more." as in, a Save the Date type of photo..... My girlfriend has an idea of what I was up to to since i mentioned the photo as a save the date type of picture but shes gonna be surprised when I pop the question in the near feature!!!!! THEN she can finally say that we can use this photo for our SAVE THE DATE picture!!!
thanks for the g
Very educational, to see it up close and personal makes you realize the sacrifice that was made for our freedom.
We did the sunset cruise and it was great. We walked to the marina from our hotel (Marriott Beach Club) and were surprised how friendly the staff on board was. They were always offering us drinks and chatting with us. Sitting on the net of the boat was fun and the sunset was romantic. I had champagne and my finance had the cruise's "special" drink which had 3 shots of rum in it. The experience was romantic but a family would enjoy this too. There were a few groups of friend on board that seemed to enjoy themselves. It is a nice end to the day, not too expensive, and very relaxing. Recommended for everyone!!
Captain Bob's was one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was very laid back and extremely helpful (served us beer in the water). One girl even got stung by a jellyfish and the captain carried her all the way back to the boat and immediately rendered first aid. 60 of us total and it was not crowded at all. Burgers were good, people were awesome and the snorkeling was spectacular. Saw a few turtles and other beautiful fish. Volleyball on the sandbar was pretty fun too!! All in all my husband and I really had a great time. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!
Had an amazing time on the Sunset Cruise. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. It was a fantastic setting to propose to my girlfriend!
All the attractions were interesting, but I was surprised by the intensity of the waves in the wave pool; it left the biggest impression on me. The large waves are incomparable to the wave pools I've been to in Japan. If you let your guard down, you might get knocked over by the waves and get hurt.
I also participated in a bodyboarding lesson in this big wave pool. It's fun, but for someone like me, an older woman, or for young children in elementary school, it can be physically demanding. The waves are really big, so it can be a bit dangerous; I saw several people who had fallen over and gotten scrapes.
The barbecue lunch was nothing special, but the fruit was delicious. Considering that the only other lunch options available were expensive hot dogs and hamburgers, I thought, "Well, that's okay."
Food and drinks are not allowed to be brought in, and there was an explanation on the bus that bags would be checked at the entrance, but in the end, my bag went unchecked.
どのアトラクションも面白かったのですが、波がくるプールの波の荒さにびっくり、一番印象に残りました。
日本で行ったことのある波プールとは比較にならない大波です。気を抜いてると波に倒されて怪我しそうです。
この大波のプールでボディーボードレッスンっていうのにも参加しました。楽しいですが、私のようなおばさんや小学校低学年の子供には体力的にきついです。ほんとに大波なのでちょっと危険でもあり、ひっくりかえって擦り傷をつくっている人を何人か見かけました。
バーベキューランチはぱっとしませんが、フルーツはおいしかったです。これ以外に買えるランチが値段の高いホットドッグやハンバーガーしかないことを考えると、ま、いいか、って感じ。
食べ物飲み物は持ち込み禁止で、入り口でバッグをチェックしますってバスの中で説明がありましたが、結局バッグはノーチェックで入れました。
This was our first time to Hawaii and wanted it to make it special. I booked the dinner not knowing what to expect. Come to find out we had a great time. We did the 3 Star dinner with the Lobster and Steak and it didn't disappoint. If you have the money its the best way to go. What really impressed me was the fact that we got caught up watching the view from the outside deck dinner was already served and almost all the guest had finished their meal. Our server Clifford was nice enough to keep our meal in the kitchen and brought it to our table when we sat. The show was great and the audience particpation at the end was fun. They also had a 2 man band playing local island music as we enjoyed our dinner. My wife and I agreed that the next trip(whch we are already planning) will include this cruise again. It's a nice way to see Waikii coastline with Diamond head at the top.
The activity itself is something you must participate in when you come to Hawaii; it's filled with fun that you definitely can't experience in Japan. I would like to request an earlier hotel pickup time to enjoy it even more.
アクティビティーそのものは、ハワイに来れば必ず参加している、絶対日本では味わえない楽しさ満点のものです。もっと楽しみたいので、ホテルピックアップ時刻を早くしてもらいたいと思います。
But hated wearing the "bright yellow floaties". At first, when these were pulled out, I was saying..."oh crap, you've got to be kidding!" But then when we hit the water, I realized it's not such big deal to look like a dork, we all do. The water was amazing until I got hit in the nose by a fellow dork. My snorkling was done at that point. I was greeted by the friendly on board crew and a warm shower. The entire trip was completely worth it. The two above neg's were not a big deal. The crew, the sites, the water, the food, drinks and friendly banter of fellow passengers was great. I highly recommend this cruise. Thank you.
ok this water park was definitely not as advertised as it is undergoing renovations. also, there was no 7-story drop as advertised, there are just some crappy slides in it's place. the park is more directed to kids. not all slides were open, they would alternate opening different one's and the lineups were HUGE as a result. Da Flowrider was a sick ride for anyone wanting a surfing experience, and the simulated wave pool was cool too. The staff were definitely excellent though.
Not recommended for anyone looking for a adrenaline rush from slides!
otherwise, have fun!
Nice but noisy lots of children around.
There is no place like Cptn.Bobs for a good adventure, good time
and good fun at all.
Thank you very very much!!!!!!

For some reason, I had never been to "Sand Island." Until now, I had been avoiding tours that offered a relaxing experience, focusing instead on shopping and other option tours, but this was an eye-opening experience.
なぜか「サンドアイランド」だけは入ったことがありませんでした。これまではショッピングや他のオプションツアーばかりでゆったり時間を過ごすツアーは敬遠していましたが、目からウロコの体験でした。
It was such a wonderful experience that I can still remember the images vividly. The Ko'olau mountain range viewed from the sea was wrapped in deep mystery, contrasting with the sparkling ocean, and it captivated me. While snorkeling, I discovered a sea turtle swimming near the surface in the blue sea! Although it was only for a few seconds, being able to swim alongside it is an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. When we landed on the sandbar, the angle of the light made the sea display different colors, sparkling in 360 degrees. When I asked the guide to take some photos, they captured great shots by changing the background with prompts like, "Jump in this scenery" and "Sit in the water." I ended up with some beautiful pictures. Additionally, I made a reservation two days before departing for Hawaii at 11:00 PM Japan time, and I received a confirmation reply just six hours later, which allowed me to leave for Hawaii with peace of mind. Since it was a plan that allowed us to return to the hotel in the morning, we were able to enjoy the pool and shopping in the afternoon. I checked the tide conditions in advance before applying, so the sandbar was well formed.
今でもその映像が思い出せるほど素敵な経験でした。海から一望するコオラウ山脈は、輝く海とは反対に深い神秘に包まれ引きつけられました。シュノーケリングでは青い海の中、海面近くを泳ぐウミガメを発見!数十秒でしたが一緒に泳ぐことができて忘れられない一生の思いでです。サンドバーへ上陸すると、光りの角度によって海が違う色をなしていて360度キラキラとしていました。ガイドの方にシャッターを御願いすると、「この景色でジャンプ」「海に入って座って」などバックに映る景色を変えながら撮影をしてくれたので、素敵な写真も出来上がりました。また、ハワイへ発つ2日前日本時間の23:00に予約をしたのですが、6時間後には正式に受付け完了の返信が届き、安心してハワイに発つことができました。午前中にホテルへ戻れるプランなので、午後はプールや買い物に行けました。事前に干潮の状態を確認して申込みをしたのでサンドバーはしっかりとできていました。
My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!
The slider here is amazing! I jumped down without thinking, and it was quite an experience. It's guaranteed to be thrilling and exciting. Since the ground below is hot, I recommend bringing flip-flops.
ここのスライダーはすごい!の一言です。何も考えずに飛び降りましたが、もう大変でした。すごい刺激で興奮すること請け合いです。下の地面が暑いのでビーチサンダルを持っていくことをお勧めします。
This time, I went with my family of six.
There were some attractions under construction, which was a bit disappointing, but we had so much fun that we could have stayed all day without getting bored.
In particular, the attractions are more enjoyable with a larger group, as the height differences are more thrilling.
I think it's more fun with a big group than just a couple.
Also, the wave pool was a blast with waves coming one after another, and I ended up with muscle soreness the next day.
I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii.
今回は家族6人で行ってきました。
工事中のアトラクションがあり少し残念でしたが、一日中いても飽きないほど楽しかったです。
特にアトラクションは人数が多いほど、高低差が大きく楽しめます。
カップルよりも大人数での方が楽しめると思います。
あと、波の出るプールは次々来る波がとても楽しく次の日は筋肉痛になっていました。
また、ハワイに行ったときは行きたいです。

We had a great great time!!!
I would recommend this to everyone i know. It was all worth it. My partner and i enjoyed evey minute of it! The food was the bomb! We had 3 star which is a 5-course meal. i even took pictures of the food! Our server Rita was so nice, i always see her smiling and she was very attentive to us! It was so fun!
I will surely go back and this time i'm gonna bring my mom!
I had previously experienced a Cessna flight on the mainland U.S., so I was looking forward to enjoying the beautiful scenery in Hawaii. However, the flight was quite bumpy due to the air currents from the airport near Oahu until we passed over Waikiki. It was a bit chaotic at first, but eventually, we got to see the beautiful ocean, the stunning view of Turtle Bay Resort from above, and the harvest season at Dole Plantation. The guide was easy to understand, making it a very satisfying Cessna flight.
My husband and I did not choose the piloting option, but I believe that those interested in flying would definitely create lasting memories with that choice.
I have visited Hawaii many times, but seeing it from the sky is simply amazing. The crater of Diamond Head is breathtaking.
I highly recommend it.
以前アメリカ本島でセスナ体験はあるので、そのイメージでハワイで綺麗な景色を楽しみにしていきました。
ところが、オアフの空港近辺からワイキキ上空を抜けるまでは気流の関係で揺れる、揺れる、、、きゃーきゃー騒いで最初は余裕のないフライトでしたが、そのうち綺麗な海、真上から見るタートルベイリゾート付近の美しさ、ドールプランテーションの収穫時期等がよく見えて ガイドもわかりやすく、大変満足なセスナフライトになりました。
私と主人は運転操縦付きプランではなかったのですが、操縦に興味あるかたは絶対にそちらのほうが思い出になると思います。
今まで何度もハワイに行ってきましたが上空から見るハワイはすばらしいの一言です。ダイヤモンドヘッドのクレーター部分は圧巻です。
おすすめです。
I used the service recently.
There was no staff interaction at all.
It felt like they just picked us up and that was it.
However, we did see whales, so it became a nice memory.
Thank you very much.
先日利用しました。
スタッフ対応は全く無しです。
お迎えに来て、乗せて終わりな感じでした。
鯨は見えましたので、いい記念になりました。
ありがとうございました。
Thank you for boarding the Star of Honolulu. If the staff who greeted you were local staff, they may have had difficulty communicating with customers as they do not speak much Japanese. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again.
スターオブホノルルです。この度はご乗船有難うございました。
お迎えに行ったスタッフが現地スタッフだった場合、日本語があまり話せない為、
なかなかお客様とのコミュニケーションがとりづらいようです。
またのご乗船お待ちしております。
Great Tour! Our tour guide/bus driver was very informative. Was a wealth of knowledge about the memorial and the city.
Sorry we did not book more tours through Hawaii Activities. Would recommend them to anyone.
We only had one day on Oahu. We were interested in an overview of Pearl Harbor and Oahu. This tour more than fulfilled this objective. Our tour guide was very experienced, enthusiastic, clever, and he treated us like valued customers.
I participated with my husband and our 4-year-old daughter. The weather was terrible—cloudy with occasional rain, and I think the temperature was quite low.
Our child was super excited and having a blast, but the water was cold, and she was shivering the whole time.
There were very few things available for small children (it's really unfortunate that the only warm facility, the SPA, is not accessible when it's cold). The place isn't very large, and there aren't many activities, so it might be more fun at "Hawaiians in Japan" (maybe because I'm familiar with that place locally...!?).
The weather got in the way, but even if we went on a sunny day, I might not be that impressed.
Overall, I felt that the cost was a bit high.
主人・私・娘(4才)で参加しました。
天気は最悪の、曇り(時々雨)、気温もかなり低かったと思います。
子供はテンション上がりまくりの、大はしゃぎでしたが、水も冷たく、終始ブルブル震えていました。
小さな子供が利用できるものが少なく(あったかい唯一の施設、SPAが使えないのは、寒い時ホント可哀想。)そんなに広くなく、あまり豊富な遊びがあるわけではないので、『日本のハワイアンズ』の方が楽しいかも。。。(地元でそちらを知ってしまってるから・・・!?)
天気が邪魔をしてくれましたが、晴れている時に行っても、ワタシはさほど感動はないかも。。。
といぅのを総評して、コストが割高な気もしました。
This was a very nice dinner cruise. It wasn't too long and it delivered on a great sunset.
The food was delicious too. We did the 1 Star package which came with crab legs, steak and mashed potatoes. Everything was better than I had expected it to be. It came with a complimentary Mai Tai which was also very good.
The Hawaiian music was good and the dancers were a lot of fun. My hubby and I got a really nice photo from them too.
I would recommend this to any couple looking for a little romance on their trip to Hawaii.
A great experience -- to see whales, especially baby whales-- was an experience of a lifetime. Thanks for a great day at sea. The music was especially good; and I was able to make my own lei. Thanks for a great time.
Had a wonderful experience! Would do again!
