Oahu
Had so much Fun.. what an amazing Experience. Would Recommend to all my family . A must when you come to Hawaii..
It was one of a kind tour. The Sand bar was very mesmerizing. Great views all around. The volleyball we played was super fun.
Turtle watching was good but not outstanding. We were able to spot a few.
However the highlight was snorkeling. Great location choosen for the activity. Amazing variety of fishes and plantlife was spotted while snorkeling.
I loved the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone in Oahu.
I participated with my child who is almost 2 years old, and we both had a great time. Since my child is still small, we didn't go snorkeling, but just floating in the sea with a life jacket was enough fun. The hamburgers and beer we had on the boat were also excellent. The staff's service was wonderful, and it became a very nice memory.
もうすぐ2歳になる子供と参加しましたが、親子でとても楽しめました。
まだ子供が小さいためシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、ライフジャケットをつけて海に浮いてるだけでも十分楽しめました。また船上で食べたハンバーガーとビールも最高でした。
スタッフの皆さんの対応も素晴らしく、とても良い思い出になりました。
I went there feeling sluggish due to lack of sleep on the first day. The creamy pasta was spicy but had plenty of crab meat and was delicious. I also had some sparkling wine, which lifted my spirits and allowed me to enjoy sightseeing.
初日睡眠不足で怠い中行きました。スパイシーですが蟹肉もたっぷりで美味しいクリームパスタでした。スパークリングワインもいただき気分を上げて観光できた。
I suddenly decided to go to Hawaii, so I made a reservation for the day I would leave Japan. When I went to the sandbar, where the water gets about 10 centimeters deep, I was surprised to see a honu (sea turtle) appear! This was my first honu encounter this time. During the cruise, I saw about 6 to 7 honu. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on the boat and were delicious. The snorkeling spot was filled with colorful fish, and I enjoyed it, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with the honu due to bad timing. The staff were very friendly and helped me enjoy the Hawaiian sea after a long time.
急にハワイに行くことになったので日本を出発する日に予約しました。
サンドバーはひざ下10センチくらいで深くなる境に行った時にちょうどホヌがあらわれてビックリ!今回の初ホヌでした。
クルーズでは6~7のホヌをみられました。
ランチのハンバーガーも船上で焼き立てをいただき美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングのポイントは色とりどりの魚がいて楽しめましたがタイミングが悪くホヌと一緒には泳げませんでした。
スタッフの方もいろいろ声をかけてkudasari久しぶりのハワイの海を楽しめました。
I participated alone, but I could communicate in Japanese, and the staff were always attentive. There were continuous events, so I really had a great time the whole time. The water and juice were all-you-can-drink, and the snacks, including the cheeseburgers, were very delicious. There were also restrooms, and the boat was clean. I would love to go again when I visit Oahu.
一人参加でしたが 日本語ま通じるし スタッフの方々も 常に 気配りして下さり 次々に イベントがあるので 本当にずーっと 楽しかったです。
お水やジュースは 飲み放題だし スナック チーズバーガーま とても 美味しかったです。
トイレもあり 船も綺麗でした。
オアフ島に来たら また 行きたいです。
This was a place I had wanted to visit since I saw it in photos. I participated in this tour and was very satisfied.
There were two boats. One was exclusively for Japanese people, and the other was for people from other countries, as there were many Japanese participants. The main staff were also Japanese (Yuki was wonderful!) and they made the tour lively with their guidance and fun conversations. Even though other staff members weren't fluent in Japanese, they were all very friendly, engaging with everyone and making an effort to enhance the experience. This tour is perfectly fine even if you can't speak English.
The water level at the sandbar was higher than I expected, but the white sandy beach of coral that emerges in the middle of the ocean and the color contrast with the deep sea was something I had never seen before; it was truly beautiful and moving. I sincerely wished I had a camera-equipped drone. I will definitely bring one next time!
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious, with a thick patty. Alcohol was $5 per drink (settled at the end), and soft drinks were unlimited. It was explained that there was a minimum of $20 for purchasing alcohol with a credit card.
As for turtle watching, since they are not domesticated, I think it's a matter of luck. However, I was able to see them several times. Snorkeling takes place in areas where you can't touch the bottom, but with life jackets, ropes to hold onto, and all the necessary fins and masks provided, it felt safe. However, the current can be quite strong, so it might be a bit challenging for those who are not confident swimmers. We swam around areas where the distance from the surface to the coral was close, but it was disappointing to see some people walking on the coral despite being told not to. Since the tour is explained in Japanese, I hope participants will listen carefully and follow the rules to protect the beautiful nature.
When returning to the port or after snorkeling when getting back on the boat, it can get quite cold as the boat moves while you're still wet. Since there isn't much time to change before arriving at the port, I recommend bringing a large bath towel to wrap around yourself.
There is a tip box when you disembark, so it might be good to bring some cash. Tipping is not very familiar to Japanese people, but it's a way to express gratitude for a good time, so I hope you will consider showing your appreciation. Thank you to all the staff!
写真で見たときから「行きたい!」と思っていた場所でした。こちらのツアーに参加して大満足です。
船は2隻。1隻は日本人専用ともう1隻はそれ以外の国の人たちに分けられるぐらいに、日本人が多かったです。メインスタッフの方も日本人で(Yukiさん素敵!)ガイドや楽しいお喋りでツアーを盛り上げてくれました。他のスタッフも日本語が堪能ではなくても、みんなに話しかけてくれたり気を使ってくれたり盛り上げてくれたりと、皆さん素敵な人達でした。英語話せなくても大丈夫なツアーです。
サンドバーの水位は思っていたよりもあったのですが、海のど真ん中に出てくるあの白いサンゴの砂浜と深い海の堺の色合いが、今まで見たことがないもので、本当に綺麗で感動しました。カメラ付きドローンを欲しかったと切実に思いました。次回は必ず!
ランチのBBQハンバーガーも、パティが分厚くて美味しかったです。アルコールは一杯5ドル(最後にまとめて清算)、ソフトドリンクは飲み放題でした。クレジットカードでアルコールを購入する人は、ミニマム20ドルと説明がありました。
カメウォッチングは、飼われている訳ではないので運だと思います。でも、何度か見ることが出来ました。シュノーケリングは、足が付かない場所でするのですが、ライフジャケットを付けたり、ロープにつかまったり、フィンやマスクなども完備なので安心です。ただ、結構流されるので泳ぎに自信がない人は少し大変かもしれません。海面とサンゴまでの距離が近いところの「まわり」を泳ぐのですが、サンゴに立たないでくださいと言われていながらも上を歩いている人がいてとても残念でした。日本語で説明してくれるツアーなので、綺麗な自然を守るためにも、ツアー参加する人たちにはちゃんと説明を聞いてルールを守って欲しいと思いました。
港へ帰る時やシュノーケリングが終わって船へ上がってからは、全身濡れている中船が走るので、結構寒いかと思います。着替える時間もなく港へ到着するので、大判のバスタオルなどを羽織ると良いかと思います。
船を降りる時にチップボックスがあるので、少し現金を持って行くと良いかと思います。日本人にはあまりなじみのないチップですが、良い時間を過ごせた、ありがとうという気持ちなので、ぜひ心遣いを渡して欲しいなと思います。スタッフの皆さん、ありがとうございました!
It was very empty, probably because it was a weekday. We enjoyed the water slides without having to wait in line. I made a reservation for the cabana, but I don't think it's necessary on weekdays. I believe even small children can have plenty of fun.
平日のせいか、非常に空いていました。
ウォータースライダーも並ぶこともなく、楽しめました。ガバナも予約しましたが、平日なら必要ないと思います。小さな子供たちがらいても十分楽しめると思います。
I had a great time playing beach volleyball at Sandbar! There weren't many Japanese people participating, but when I gathered the courage to join in, it was so much fun!
In the morning, the sky was cloudy and the sea wasn't that beautiful, but after the clouds cleared and the sun came out, the sea was unbelievably beautiful and I was moved.
Snorkeling was also amazing, with lots of fish and beautiful coral.
サンドバーでは多国籍バレーをして楽しめました!日本人はなかなか入っていく人が少なかったですが、勇気を出して参加してみるとすごく楽しいです!
午前中は雲がかかっていて海はそこまで綺麗ではなかったのですが、雲がなくなり太陽が出てきた後の海は信じられないくらい綺麗で感動しました。
シュノーケリングもお魚が沢山いて、サンゴもありとても綺麗でした。
My family and I loved spending the day on Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay Sandbar Snorkel Adventure.
Having the chance to practise snorkeling at the sandbar before heading out to the reef was great for the kids and the fish at the reef were plentiful and colourful.
A nice hot chocolate on the way back was a great touch to warm the bellies :)
It was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. The Tantalus package was also a fantastic deal. I highly recommend it.
最高によかったです。おいしく、雰囲気もよいです。タンタラスもセットで非常にお得でした。おすすめいたします。
This is my fourth time. No matter how many times I go, the dinner price, including tips and service charges, offers excellent value for money. I will definitely use it again when I go to Honolulu. I'll also recommend it to everyone.
今回で4回目。
何度行ってもチップ、サービス料込でのこのディナー料金はコスパ抜群です。
またホノルルに行ったときには使わせてもらいましょう。
みなさんにも紹介しておきます。
This was my second time whale watching, and although the number of whales was few, we were still able to see some. Above all, the staff member who generously applied sunscreen was very friendly, constantly asking if I wanted a beer or a refill, which made the experience enjoyable. My friend who came along was also pleased, so I think this is one of the classic tours in Honolulu. I highly recommend it.
ホエールウォッチングは2回目ですが、今回も数は少ないながら鯨を見ることができました。何より日焼け止めをたっぷり塗ったスタッフのおっちゃんがビールは飲むか?ビールのおかわりはどうだ?と、しきりに気を遣ってくれたのがとてもフレンドリーで楽しい気持ちになりました。連れて行った友達も喜んでくれたので、定番のホノルルツアーの1つかと思います。お勧めです。
The staff were very energetic, and although I participated alone, I had a great time. I hesitated to join the snorkeling time because it was a bit cold, but I decided to go for it, and it was the right choice! I was able to capture a sea turtle swimming right below me on camera! It might be good to have marine shoes for snorkeling. It can be a bit painful on your feet if you're barefoot from the sandbar to the snorkeling point.
スタッフさんたちもとても元気で、1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。シュノーケリングタイムはちょっと寒くてやめようか迷いましたが、思いきって参加して正解❗自分の真下を泳ぐ海亀をカメラにおさめることが出来ました❗ シュノーケリングはマリンシューズがあるといいかもしれません。サンドバーからシュノーケリングのポイントまで、裸足だとちょっと足が痛いです。
The guides were great and it was a casual relaxing boat ride with pretty views of Diamond Head and Waikiki. Didn’t get to see much but it was nice to be out on the water.
This was my second time at Sandbar, and the weather was great this time! The water was perfect, and we had so much fun playing beach volleyball together! After that, we went snorkeling at a coral reef while searching for sea turtles! We were able to spot a honu and saw so many fish; I couldn't be more satisfied! The hamburgers for lunch were also very filling and delicious! I definitely want to join again next time :)
サンドバーは2回目でしたか、今回は天気も良く最高でした!!水面は股下からいで、みんなで楽しくビーチバレーもできてめっちゃ楽しかったです!そのあとはウミガメを探しながらシュノーケリングのできるサンゴ礁へ!ホヌも見つけられて、魚もたくさん見れて満足しかないです!ランチのハンバーガーもボリュームたっぷりでとても美味しかったです!また次回も参加したいです:)
The trip was fabulous! The crew is friendly, fun and knowledgeable. They keep you informed, entertained and fed (I liked the burger, chips and fruit). The equipment & boat were in excellent shape.
There isn't a lot of down time which I appreciated (activities/entertainment happening thru out the trip). Tyler was an amazing hula dancer! Make sure you bring cash to tip the crew, they work hard to show us tourists a great time!!
When we initially jumped in the water, we saw dolphins immediately! The second jump we saw more dolphins, a sting ray, and a sea turtle! (And fish, if course). It was amazing.
We didn't rent the wet suit and we were fine (mid April). We took Dramamine because of all the warnings in other reviews, so we had no motion sickness, but neither did anyone else. :)
My only advice would be that guests should be sure to sit under the covered area when the crew is making announcements. We were sitting at the very back of the boat (behind the speaker) and couldn't hear them at all. You'll also get a better view of the dancer.
Also, the slide was not available on our trip, so if that's important to you, you should double check?
I was looking forward to showing the children the whales, but we couldn't see any at all, and it turned into just a regular cruise.
くじらを子供たちに見せてあげられるかと楽しみにしておりましたが、全く見ることができず、単なるクルーズになってしまいました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to observe any whales this time. We hope that if there is another opportunity, your children will be able to enjoy whale watching. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

I participated in a whale watching tour that included breakfast. The boat was larger than I expected, which made for a comfortable experience. I was thrilled to spot a whale spouting water! I was also satisfied to see it raise its tail. I want to go again!
朝食付きのホエールウォッチングに参加しました。
思っていたより大きな船で、ゆったりしました。
肝心のクジラは、潮を上げているところを見つけ、大興奮!
尾びれを上げたところも見れて満足。
又行きたい!
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

The food was very good. You get about 30 mins between the food and show to go to the top and see the sunset. Good spot for pictures. Then you come back down for dessert and a show, the show was okay. After that they have dancing you dont have to participate if you do not want to. You can pay for additional drinks.
You are pretty much just paying for a ride there. It is a very pretty hike, I would make sure to wear shoes with traction as it does get pretty slippery towards the top. Q lot of good picture spots.
The pilot flew the helicopter on top the volcano and turned around it. We were able to see deep inside it. Was a great experience!
Also saw a lot of hot gas from the volcanoes and walked on solidified lava. Great whole-day tour !
From the greeters to the servers to the Chief himself, everyone treated us like we were a part of the family. It felt like a big family reunion.
The food was delicious, and even if you're vegetarian or vegan like me, there are plenty of options! I had a mountain of food on my plate and didn't leave hungry.
The entertainment was my favorite part. Talented hula and warrior dancers performed traditional dances from various regions of Polynesia. So it was both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this luau!
The staff was amazing, but for money, this was just ok for us. We spent 2 hours cruising the ocean looking for whales. We did not see any, but did see some dolphins and a sea turtle. I was under the impression that the boat would be a catamaran, and would have some areas to sit, relax, and watch. But, apparently on certain days, the Disney resort uses that boat and so we took a boat normally used for scuba diving out. There was not much seating that allowed for you to view the ocean and watch for whales, so basically we stood the whole 2 hours on some pretty choppy water. They had some snacks and refreshments which my son enjoyed, but about an hour in he was pretty bored. Again, the staff was awesome, but the experience as a whole I probably would not do again. They did give us a voucher to return for free. We will see.
I didn't have to wait in line for the slides, so I was able to enjoy them multiple times. However, it was disappointing that the lazy river was closed. There was only one food stand open, and that was the longest line I had to wait in.
スライダーは基本並ばなくてよかったので、何度も楽しめました。
ただ、流れるプールがクローズになってたので残念。
食べ物を買うのも1箇所しか開いてなくて、一番並んだ。
I signed up for a course that included lunch. The morning pickup was smooth, and we arrived at the port without any issues. Since my friend's family, who happened to be on the same schedule, signed up separately, I was prepared for the boat to leave without us, but to my surprise, we ended up on the same boat! They gathered a group of Japanese guests on one vessel. Our guide was also Japanese and very kind. The lunch was plentiful, and we were completely full. We were able to see the honu (sea turtles) perfectly from the sandbar, and at the snorkeling point, we fulfilled our dream of swimming with them, which left the kids in awe. I am grateful for the happy time we spent, being able to see the honu right until the very end.
ランチ付きコースに申込みました。朝のピックアップもスムーズで問題なく港に到着しました。たまたま同日程だった友人家族と別々に申込んだので船は離れることを覚悟していましたが何と同じ船に乗ることに(^^)一隻を日本人客で集めていました(^ ^)ガイドさんも日本人でとても親切です。ランチも盛りだくさんで満腹になります。お目当てのホヌ(海ガメ)もサンドバーからバッチリ見れて、シュノーケリングポイントでは一緒に泳ぐ夢が叶い子供達も感動していました(o^^o)最後の最後までホヌも見れて幸せな時間を過ごせたことに感謝しています。
I was able to see the dorsal fin and tail fin for just a moment! It took a lot of patience to catch a glimpse of the whale pod.
背びれや尾びれが本当に一瞬だけ見れました!なかなかのクジラの群れを見ることが出来ず忍耐力が必要でした
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
This time, I went on a three-generation cruise with my children and mother. At the sandbar, we all had a great time playing beach volleyball and swimming. During the snorkeling afterward, my mother, who is in her late sixties, also joined everyone in the sea and had fun. She was moved to see a sea turtle up close. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious as well. However, the best part of this tour was the personality of the guide. Their desire to entertain everyone was evident, and they made sure no one was left behind. It was a truly wonderful guide.
今回子供と母を連れての三世代クルーズでした。
サンドバーではみんなでビーチバレーをしたり泳いだり楽しい時間を
すごせました。
その後のシュノーケリングでも
60歳後半の母も皆と同じに海に入り楽しんでました。
ウミガメを間近で見て感動していました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
ですがこのツアーの最高なところはガイドの方の人柄ですね。
皆を楽しませたいという気持ちが前面に出ていて
誰も置いてきぼりにしない、とてもすばらしいガイドでした。
I participated with my husband, who is prone to seasickness, but I was relieved that he didn't get sick at all. Depending on the season, after snorkeling, wet hair and a wet body can feel a bit cold with even a slight breeze. If possible, it might be better to bring all your underwear and clothes rather than just something to throw over your wet swimsuit. I finished snorkeling early and changed using a towel from the pool in the less crowded area of the boat.
船酔いしやすい主人と2人で参加しましたが、全く酔わなかったので安心しました。
時期的な問題なのか、シュノーケルの後の濡れた髪濡れた体は少し風が当たると寒いです。
出来れば、濡れた水着の上に羽織るものよりも全ての下着、洋服を持参で臨んだ方が良いかも。私はシュノーケルを早めに引きあげて人の少ない船内でプールで使用するタオルを使って着替えました
This was my second time participating in the dolphin tour, and during the last one in summer, I saw many more dolphins! It was also quite cold, as everyone had to rent wetsuits! There were quite a few people who looked uncomfortable because they got seasick.
However, this time we were able to see many honu (turtles) down below. The staff worked hard to keep everyone engaged and excited. It's a fun tour if you don't get seasick, so taking motion sickness medication is a must!
イルカツアーの参加は2回目で前回は夏でしたが、夏の方がたくさんのイルカが見られました!あとは全員の方がウェットスーツを借りていたくらい寒かったです!酔ってしまって終始辛そうな方も結構な人数いました。
ただ今回は下の方でしたがホヌ(亀)がたくさん見ることができました。
スタッフの方はみなさん盛り上げようと頑張っておられました。
酔わなければ楽しめるツアーなので、酔い止めは必須です!!
