Oahu
Departure at 11:00 is great. If you take the first flight, you might end up boarding the boat sleep-deprived, which can make you more prone to seasickness. So, for those who are sensitive, I recommend the second departure to get a good sleep, enjoy breakfast slowly, take some motion sickness medication, and then head to the boat! Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the activities on the boat without getting seasick.
All the staff were cheerful, and I felt just as relaxed as I did with the dolphins! In Japan, every day is about worrying if you have to conform to certain expectations, but participating in this tour reminded me of the importance of living authentically. I got to see many dolphins and colorful fish, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian sea without getting bored, thanks to activities like SUP and the slide on the boat! Mahalo!
11時出発、すごくいいです。1便だと、睡眠不足で船に乗ることになるので、酔いやすい方は2便の出発にして、よく寝て、朝食をゆっくり食べて、酔い止め飲んで船へ!お陰様で、酔うことなく船でのアクティビティを全力で楽しむことができました。
スタッフは全員愉快で、イルカと同じくらい癒されました!日本だと◯◯でなければならないと人に気をつかう毎日ですが、このツアーに参加して自分らしく生きることの大切さを思い出した気がしました。たくさんのイルカ、カラフルな魚にも会えて、SUPや船についてるスベリ台など、飽きずにハワイの海を全身に感じることができました!mahalo!
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University.
We appreciate you sharing your wonderful feedback!
Please join us again when you visit Hawaii.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I participated in the afternoon session. The sandbar had water up to my knees even in shallow areas. Still, I was able to take many wonderful photos! The staff members all spoke Japanese and were very proactive in taking pictures and showing great consideration. Also, the lunch was delicious! It was so good that I went back for seconds! Snorkeling was a lot of fun, with sea turtles coming very close and plenty of fish to see!! If you have a GoPro, you can capture the fish and sea turtles underwater, so I definitely recommend bringing one if you have it! It would also be great to have a float. I participated in November, and while it was a warm day, the water was still a bit cold... I recommend bringing a thick hoodie ('ω').
I definitely want to participate again (〃ω〃)ノ
午後の部に参加させていただきました。
サンドバーは、浅いところでも水が膝上くらいでした。
それでも、素敵な写真がたくさん取れました!
スタッフさんが日本語が話せる方ばっかりで積極的に写真を撮ってくださったり、気配りも素晴らしかったです。
そして、ランチが美味しかったです!
美味しくて、おかわりをしちゃうくらいでした!
シュノーケリングも、ウミガメがとっても近くて魚もいっぱい見れてとても楽しかったです!!
Go Proがあれば、水の中のお魚やウミガメも撮れるので、ある方は絶対持って行った方が良いです!浮きがあればなお良いと思います。
11月の参加で、暖かい日でしたが、それでも水の中が少し寒かった…。厚手のパーカーを持っていくことをお勧めします('ω')
またぜひ、参加したいと思います(〃ω〃)ノ
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We also appreciate you sharing the beautiful photos. If they are this beautiful in the pictures, I can only imagine how much more stunning it was on the day of the tour. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。美しい写真のシェアもありがとうございます。写真でこれだけ美しいのだから、当日はもーっと美しかったんだろうな。と、想像しちゃいました。 またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
We had a great experience with the shuttle to Hanauma Bay. The driver was very polite and helpful. The van was comfortable and the timing was perfect. The company representative I talked to on the phone was very helpful and gave me excellent advice on where to park our car while we were on the excursion. I would highly recommend this experience. Well worth the price!
I participated in the Dolphin Encounter! The first time I touched a dolphin, it was smooth and lively, and I was so excited! They also took wonderful photos, which became great memories. After interacting with the dolphins, we had the freedom to explore the park! We watched dolphin and sea lion shows and had some food. We received a $10 coupon for each person, which we used for lunch. Since it was just my husband and me, we had plenty of time until the bus back, but I think it would be great for families as well!
ドルフィンエンカウンターで参加しました♪
初めて触ったイルカは、ツルツルでピチピチでテンションがあがりました!素敵な写真も撮っていただき思い出になりました(^^)
イルカとふれあったあとは、園内を自由に散策!イルカやアシカのショーを見たり、ご飯を食べたり。10ドルのクーポン券を人数分もらえたので、ランチの際利用しました。
私達は夫婦だけだったので帰りのバスまでかなり時間に余裕がありましたが、ご家族連れには時間もたっぷりあっていいのではないでしょうか(^^)
It’s an experiential luau that families with small children and couples can all enjoy, and my family had a fantastic time! Before the show started, there were activities like fire-starting and making headbands using banana leaves, which kept the audience engaged. They celebrated guests who were there for special occasions on stage, danced with the audience, and above all, the chief's stories were very entertaining, making us laugh from the bottom of our stomachs multiple times! The food and Mai Tai cocktails were also very delicious.
The final fire knife dance was impressive! My 2-year-old son watched intently without blinking!
Definitely experience Chief's Luau! The chief and the crew will surely entertain you!!!
小さいお子様連れの家族、カップル、全ての方が楽しめる体験型ルアウで、私達家族もめいいっぱい楽しませていただきました!ショーが始まる前に火起こしやバナナリーフを使用したヘッドバンド作り体験等があり、観客を飽きさせないような構成になっています。記念日で来ている観客をステージでお祝いしたり、観客とのダンス、また、何よりもチーフの話がとても面白く、途中何度もお腹の底から笑わせていただきました!食事やマイタイカクテルもとても美味しかったです。
最後のファイヤーナイフダンスは見応えありです!私の2歳になる息子も瞬きせずにしっかりと観ていました!
チーフスルアウ、是非、体験して下さい!チーフとクルーがきっと楽しませてくれます!!!
Coral has settled on the sunken aircraft and ship right in front of me, and colorful fish are swarming around, allowing me to truly enjoy the natural food chain.
目の前に沈んだ航空機や船に珊瑚が住み付き、色とりどりの魚が群れていて自然の食物連鎖がリアルに楽しめました。
Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed exploring the marine life in Hawaii. We're happy you had a fun time adventuring with us. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you!
レビューのマハロ!ハワイの海洋生物を探索する時間を楽しんでくださったことを嬉しく思います。私たちと一緒に冒険して楽しい時間を過ごしてくれてうれしいです。またすぐにご参加ください。マハロ!
Excellent experience!!
Very beautiful place and our family really enjoy!!
A vast land that served as the filming location for various movies like Jurassic Park. I realized my dream of visiting here someday. It includes three types of experiences and meals, allowing us to enjoy nature in three different vehicles. I think it's a tour that you can't find in Japan.
Along the way, the guide spoke and played music that made us feel like we were in the world of Jurassic Park, and everyone on the ride got excited and cheered loudly. I'm glad I experienced it. Next, I want to try horseback riding too!
ジェラシックパークなどなどの様々な映画のロケ地となった広大な土地。いつか行ってみたいと思っていた事が実現しました。3種類の体験と食事付き、3種類の車での自然を体験してみて
日本には無いツアーだと思います。
途中、同行したガイドの方がまさにジェラシックパークの映画の世界に居るような曲と喋り方で、乗ってるみんなで興奮して大声で歓声を上げました。体験して良かったです。次は乗馬も体験したいです!
I had a wonderful time interacting with the dolphins in the pool. I was so glad I came. The dolphins were incredibly cute!
However, they took photos and created an album regardless of whether you wanted to buy them or not, making it hard to refuse, and I ended up making an expensive purchase. One of the photos was free, but you can find that anywhere.
イルカと一緒にプールで触れ合えてとっても楽しい時間をすごせました。来てよかったと感激しました。イルカ、凄く可愛いかった!
ただ、写真を撮ってくれて買う買わないに関係なくアルバムのようにされていて雰囲気的に断れず高い買い物をしてしまいました。
その中の1枚は無料でしたが、、何処でもありますけどね。
Whenever I go to Hawaii, I usually spend my time at the beach and shopping, so this time I wanted to try something more active and joined a tour. However, the waiting time between each tour was boring, especially with kids. There wasn't really anywhere to pass the time...
I think the tour content would be enjoyable for movie fans (those who know a lot about it). I only knew a little (and just some parts), so I started to find the tour tiring and wanted to go home by lunchtime, haha. The bumpy ride on the jungle tour was more intense than I imagined; it felt like a serious version of Star Tours at Tokyo Disneyland, haha. I was so busy trying to keep the kids in check that I couldn't really enjoy the scenery. But since I had wanted to go at least once, I’m glad I got to understand the content.
Since the time commitment is long, I think for those who are just a little interested, it would be sufficient to just stop by with a rental car. The ocean view from Kualoa Ranch was really beautiful and different from Waikiki Beach. I heard you can see whales in the winter, so I’d like to come back during that time. Sorry for digressing!
いつもハワイに行くとビーチ・お買い物だったので今回はアクティブにすごしてみたいと思い参加しました。
一つ一つのツアーの間の待ち時間が子供もいたので退屈でした。
時間潰せるようなところも特になかったので・・・。
ツアーの内容は、映画ファン(詳しい方)は楽しいんだと思います。
私は、少し知ってる(しかも一部)程度なので
途中からツアーがしんどくなりお昼時点で既に帰りたかったです 笑
ジャングルツアーの車の揺れが想像以上で東京ディズニーランドの
スターツアーズの本気揺れてるバージョンでした 笑
子供を抑えておくのに必死でそんなに景色も楽しめずでした。
でも一度行ってみたかったので内容がわかったよかったです。
拘束時間が長いので、少し見たいって方は、レンタカーで少し寄る程度で
充分かと思います。クアロア牧場から見える海はワイキキビーチとは違って
すごく綺麗でしたよ。くじらが冬に見えるそうなのでその時期にまた来たいです、話逸れましたが。
This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!! Quyana - Mahalo - thank you.
At the pool in Japan, large slides often require a fee or have long lines, making it difficult to ride them. However, I was able to enjoy riding multiple times without any hassle.
It seems that floaties are available at each pool for anyone to use, but it started to get a bit crowded in the afternoon, and I couldn't get a floatie to float along the lazy river (laughs). I didn't see anyone bringing their own floaties, but if you really want to use one, it might be a good idea to bring your own.
Also, I heard that the BBQ lunch was all-you-can-eat, but perhaps due to the low number of participants, it wasn't a buffet style. Instead, we were given lunch boxes. The amount was more than enough and it was delicious, so I was totally fine with it, but my partner, who wanted to eat a lot of meat, seemed a bit disappointed.
Lastly, the round-trip bus can get quite cold, so I think it would be good to bring something to wear over your clothes!
日本でのプールだと、大きなスライダーは有料だったり、行列が出来てなかなか乗れなかったりますが、サクサク何度も乗れるのでとても楽しめました。
浮き輪は各プールの所に置いてあり、好きに使っていいみたいなのですが、昼からは少し混み始め、流れるプールで浮き輪をゲットできずに流れられませんでした(笑)かと言って自前の浮き輪を持ってきてる人は見ませんでしたが、絶対に浮き輪を使いたい!という人は持っていった方がいいかもしれません。
あとBBQランチ食べ放題とのことでしたが、参加人数が少なかったのかビュッフェ形式ではなく、ランチパックに入ったお弁当みたいなものを渡されました。十分すぎる量だったし美味しかったので私は全然良かったのですが、肉ばかり食べたい!!と言っていた彼は少し残念そうでした。
あと往復のバスがかなり寒いので、羽織るものがあればよいと思います!
This was my third time. Each time, I rate it as the most enjoyable activity for my family. The hospitality of the guides is excellent. The hamburgers on the boat are delicious too. Don't forget the $5 for beer. We always see sea turtles, but this time we were able to see a manta ray. Everyone was thrilled. I will work hard again to return to the sandbar soon.
これで、3度目でした。毎回家族で一番楽しかったアクティビティと評価しています。とにかく、ガイドの方々のホスピタリティがいいです。船の上のハンバーガーもうまいです。ビール代5ドルも忘れずに。毎回海がめは見れるのですが、今回はマンタ様を拝見できました。一同感激でした。早くサンドバーに
戻る為、またお仕事頑張ります。
It was a very peaceful tour, and I think there’s a chance to encounter whales, but I was satisfied to see them clearly! The food was also very delicious. If I had to say something, I wish I had known in advance how far we would be from the whales, as it felt a bit too far.
とても穏やかなツアーで鯨に出会える確率もあるとは思いますが、しっかりと鯨を見させて頂けて満足!料理もとても美味しくて良かった
しいて言うなら、鯨に近づける距離は事前に解っていたらなーって ちょいと遠過ぎる気がした
Thank you very much for participating in the whale watching tour. We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cruise. Your feedback will be helpful for our future improvements. Thank you once again.
この度は鯨ウォチングに参加していただきありがとうございました。クルーズを楽しんでいただけたようで、心よりうれしく感じております。ご意見は、今後の改善に役立たせて頂きます。本当にありがとうございました。
I saw dolphins a few times. It might be a luxury, but this is my evaluation of the tour.
First, make sure to arrive early when boarding the boat. The staff will ask you to fill in from the back, but those who know will sit in the front.
Sitting in the front makes it easier to secure a spot near the staff who are aware of where the dolphins are, as people in the front will jump into the sea first.
Also, it’s inconvenient if there’s no basket for your belongings under you, so try to sit where there is a basket.
You will inevitably have to swim close to the staff. Other guests may kick you or push you aside, but keep moving forward without giving up.
After seeing the dolphins, the staff will say, “Those who haven’t seen a dolphin yet, please come to the front,” but those who are at a distance where they can’t see the dolphins at that point cannot move forward.
This is because those who have seen the dolphins do not give up their spots.
The staff warns not to touch the dolphins beforehand, but even when someone tried to touch them, they didn’t seem to pay much attention.
It’s possible that the group I participated in had a lot of people, and that’s why there were such guests.
At the very least, I felt that it was an unfair tour where some people could see many dolphins while others could not, even though we all paid the same amount.
I don’t think the number of people who can board the boat is the same as the number of people who can enjoy the tour.
It’s dangerous to be kicked by fins, and I think it would have been better to sign up for an experience where you can swim with dolphins at an aquarium instead of insisting on wild dolphins.
イルカは数回、見えました。
贅沢かもしれませんが、それでもツアーとしては
この評価です。
まず、船に乗る際は早めに行きましょう。
スタッフに奥から詰めるように言われますが
分かっている人は手前に座ります。
手前に座っている人から海に飛び込むため
イルカの場所を把握しているスタッフさんの
近くの場所を確保しやすいからです。
また、自分の下に荷物のかごがないと不便なので
下にかごがある場所に座りましょう。
スタッフさんの近くまで泳ぐのは必至で泳ぎます。
他のお客さんに蹴られますし、手で押しのけられますが負けずに進みましょう。
イルカを見た後スタッフの方が
「一度もイルカを見ていない人は前に」といいますが
その時点でイルカが見えない距離にいる人は
前に行けません。
イルカを見た人が前を譲らないからです。
イルカには触らないようにとスタッフの方が事前に注意していますが
触ろうとした人がいても、特に注意をしていませんでした。
私が参加した回が人数が多く、たまたまそういうお客さんだった
可能性もありますが、
すくなくとも、同じお金を払い同じ回に参加したとしても
たくさん見れる人と見れない人がいる不公平なツアーだと感じました。
船に乗れる人数とツアーを楽しめる人数は同じではないと思います。
フィンのついた足で蹴られるので危ないですし
別に野生のイルカにこだわらなくても
水族館のイルカと泳げるものに申し込んだ方がよかったと思っています。
We had the most wonderful morning! The boat was clean and the staff was excellent. We even saw dolphins! We will definitely be taking this tour again!
The sunset is beautiful. If you want to feel the essence of Hawaii, I recommend this. The food is generally delicious, and there is a good variety. The cruise lasts about two hours, so the kids might get a little bored, but I think it's a good value for adults to enjoy at a leisurely pace.
夕陽がきれい。ハワイらしさをまず感じるなら、おススメです。料理も普通に美味しく、品揃えもあります。
クルーズ時間が2時間くらいありますので、子供が少し飽きてきますが、大人がゆっくり楽しむにはコスパ良いと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you enjoyed your time with us. Please join us for another cruise soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!あなたの経験を共有してくれてありがとう、私たちと一緒にあなたの時間を楽しんでくれてうれしいです。すぐに別のクルーズにご参加ください。マハロ!
It was great.
The jungle tour was especially good.
It had a cool feeling.
I want you to experience it.
If you go after watching the movie,
the enjoyment doubles.
良かったなー。
ジャングルツアーが
特に良い。
ひんやりとした感じ。
体験してほしい。
映画を見てから行くと
良さが倍増。
What an experience!! Great food, entertainment and I think we got the best server!! Darian was amazing! Would do it again!
This is my third Luau that I have been to so far and this one is by far my favorite! The crew is so nice and attentive and I loved how Chief Sielu is so family oriented. He made several points to bring guests on stage and include them in the show and they even had a special moment for two children through the Make A Wish Foundation that were there which was so sweet!
You are entertained all night long whether it's by the dancing, the Chief's jokes or the amazing fire dancers. I would also highly recommend the Royal package, we had great seats up front and were one of the first in line for the buffet.
The weather was nice, and walking in the great outdoors was very pleasant and enjoyable. The main trekking course was under construction, so we took a different route, but it was fun to have the guide explain many plants to us.
お天気も良く大自然の中を歩いてとても気持ちよく楽しかったです。メインのトレッキングコースは、工事中で、違うルートだったのですが、たくさんの植物をガイドさんに説明してもらい楽しかったです。
It was my first time participating in a tour, and I had a great time! The staff were all cheerful, and even though I didn't participate in snorkeling, there were various free floats and equipment available, which was fun! The food was delicious, and I got to see sea turtles, so it was a very satisfying tour!
初めてのツアー参加でしたが、楽しく参加させてもらいました!スタッフは皆さん明るくシュノーケルは参加しませんでしたが、無料の浮輪や道具が色々あり楽しかったです!ご飯も美味しく海ガメも見れて大満足のツアーでした!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour. The photos of the sandbar are absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing them. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。ツアーを楽しんでいただいたようで嬉しく思います。サンドバーの写真もとーっても綺麗ですね!!!シェアして頂きありがとうございます。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
it was a whole day tour. the guide was fantastic and gave us a good history lesson all the way up . he was very good with is instructions and timings and gave us ample time to look around
great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable .
I used the service on November 14, 2019. When the bus arrived in front of the hotel, the driver called out my name, so I was able to board without any confusion. There was no place to change into swimsuits, so I wore mine both to and from the location. After arriving, we headed to the sandbar by boat. There were sales of motion sickness medication and sunscreen on the boat, but I think it's better for those who are prone to seasickness to bring their own. Once we arrived at the sandbar, we had some time to take commemorative photos individually, and then we split into groups for snorkeling and non-snorkeling activities. Snorkeling was only for those who could swim, as it required swimming 20 minutes in deep water. For those not snorkeling, one kayak and four stand-up paddleboards were available, and we could play while being taught how to use them. I didn't go snorkeling, but I was able to see a sea turtle while playing. The turtle came quite close, but touching or chasing it is prohibited. Lunch was a buffet with bone-in short ribs, fruits, and unlimited drinks. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, which was reassuring. Captain Bruce seems to cooperate with Japanese television filming as well.
2019年11月14日に利用しました。バスはホテル前につくと運転手さんから名前を呼んでくれたので迷わず乗ることができました。水着は着替えるところがないので行きも帰りも着たままでした。現地に着いてからはボートでサンドバーへ向かいました。ボートの中で酔い止めや日焼け止めの販売はありましたが、酔いやすい方は用意して行った方がいいと思います。サンドバーではまず着いて記念撮影を各自で撮る時間があり、その後シュノーケリングをする人としない人に分かれて行動しました。シュノーケリングは片道20分足のつかない海を泳がなくてはいけないため泳げる人のみの参加でした。シュノーケリングをやらない人はカヤック一台とサップ四台が用意してありやり方を教えてもらいながら遊ぶことができました。私はシュノーケリングにはいかなかったのですが、遊んでいる時にウミガメをみることができました。かなり近くまでカメさんが来てくれますが触ることや追いかけることは禁止されています。お昼ご飯はバイキングで骨付きカルビやフルーツ、ドリンクも飲み放題でした。日本語対応スタッフもいるので安心でした。キャプテンブルースは日本のテレビ撮影などにも協力しているようです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We appreciate your detailed schedule report. I'm glad to hear you got to see the turtles! As you mentioned, our company also assists with various television and magazine shoots. "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation" has been here as well! We would be happy if more people in Japan and around the world could learn about the charm of the sandbar. We all look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。詳細なスケジュールのレポートありがとうございます。亀さんにも会えたとのこと、良かったです!おっしゃる通り、弊社は様々な番組のテレビ撮影や雑誌の撮影などもお手伝いさせていただいております。有吉の夏休みも来たことあるんですよ!サンドバーの魅力をもっと日本の皆さん、世界の皆さんに知ってもらえると嬉しいです。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I was torn between taking the shuttle bus or renting a car, but since I could sleep on the bus and we arrived before the park opened, I wasn't worried about losing time. The air conditioning on the bus was fine as long as I closed the vents. Considering the risk of driving while tired, the shuttle bus was definitely the better choice.
It was quite empty, probably because it was a weekday in November. We hardly had to wait, with a maximum of three people ahead of us. The time spent climbing to the starting point with a large float was overwhelmingly longer than waiting in line.
We were fine with just three bottles of water that we brought, and since we had a proper breakfast and had lunch a bit later, there was no wait at the concession stand.
I was worried about what to do with my camera on the attractions, but it was fine to bring cameras, phones, and even wear flip-flops and straw hats while riding.
I felt it was more relaxed compared to amusement parks in North America, but it was great. I had an amazing time. I highly recommend the bodyboarding for an additional fee; it's a lot of fun and there were hardly any crowds.
送迎バスにするかレンタカーか迷いましたが、バスで寝れますし開園前に着いたので時間のロスも気になりませんでした。バスの冷房も送風口を閉めれば問題なかったです。疲れた体で車を運転するリスクを考えると断然送迎バスが良いです。
11月の平日だからなのか空いてました。ほぼ並びません。最大3人待ちでした。並ぶことよりも大きな浮き輪を持ってスタート地点まで登ってる時間の方が圧倒的に長いです。
飲み物は3人で持ち込みの水3本で大丈夫でしたし、朝ごはんをちゃんと食べて行き昼食をやや遅めにしたので、売店も待ち無しでした。
アトラクションでカメラとかどうするのか心配してましたが、カメラOK、携帯OK、ビーサン(流れる・・)、麦わら帽子はそのままで乗れました。
北米の遊園地と比べるとゆるいなぁと感じましたが、よかったです。
最高に楽しめました。追加料金のボディボードがとても楽しい(空いてます)のでおすすめです。
This was the tour I was looking forward to the most on this trip. It takes about an hour by bus from the hotel in Waikiki to the boat dock. I was really worried about seasickness, but I was perfectly fine with motion sickness pills and a wristband. The sandbar was truly beautiful and worth the visit! I took a lot of photos during the sandbar walk. The snorkeling was done in a place where you can't touch the bottom, so it's limited to those who can swim. I saw a lot of fish, and there were also many sea turtles, which made for a valuable experience. I wasn't expecting much from the food on the boat, but the barbecue was really delicious! The guide was also a wonderful person.
この旅で1番楽しみにしていたツアーでした。
ワイキキのホテルからバスで1時間程でボート乗り場に着きます。
船酔いがとても心配でしたが、酔い止めと酔い止め防止バンドで完璧に防げました。
サンドバーは本当に綺麗で行く価値ありです!
サンドバーウォークでたくさん写真を撮りました。
シュノーケリングは足のつかない場所でやるので、泳げる方限定です。魚もたくさん見れましたが、海亀もたくさんいて貴重な体験ができました。
船でのご飯は期待していなかったのですが、バーベキューもとても美味しかったです^_^
ガイドのお姉さんも素敵な方でした。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are very happy that you were looking forward to our tour and enjoyed your time with us. To fully enjoy the tour, it's important for those who are prone to seasickness to take precautions against it! We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。弊社のツアーを楽しみにしていてくださり、そして楽しんで帰っていただいたこと、とっても嬉しく思います。ツアーを100%楽しむために、酔いやすいお客様は船酔い対策大事ですよね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
It was so much fun!
We are both in our sixties; my husband has good athletic ability, but he can't swim. Therefore, playing in the ocean is not a priority for us.
I, who have poor athletic ability, can swim. Somehow, we made it to the sea.
It was a great decision to try stand-up paddleboarding and canoeing in the beautiful ocean! My husband seemed to enjoy it too, and next time we want to try snorkeling as well!
The staff was friendly, which was great.
とにかく楽しかった!
還暦の私達、運動神経はよい夫ですが、泳げません。必然で海で遊ぶ事の優先順位は低い。
運動神経が悪い私は、泳げます。なんとか海へ。
綺麗な海でサップにカヌー体験、大正解!夫も楽しかったみたいです次回はシュノーケルも!
スタッフがフレンドリーでよかったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We have received many positive comments from our customers about our staff, including the boat crew, who provided friendly and attentive service. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience. All of our staff sincerely look forward to welcoming you back again.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。写真のスタッフはじめ、ボートスタッフのサービスは、フレンドリーで丁寧!とたくさんのお客様からお声を頂き、弊社のツアーに魅力の一つとなっております。お楽しみいただいたようで嬉しく思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The weather was cloudy, but the sea was beautiful and we were able to see turtles. The guide was also kind, and we were able to take a lot of photos. It was great.
天気はくもりでしたが、海がきれいで亀もみることができました。ガイドの方も親切で写真をたくさん撮ることができました。よかったです。
We were picked up from a hotel near Waikiki and took about an hour by bus to the boat dock, from where we boarded the boat and headed to the sandbar!
For lunch, we were served hamburgers and drinks on the boat! They were very delicious!
There were also two restrooms on the boat.
The boat didn't sway too much, but if you're worried, it might be a good idea to take motion sickness medication before participating.
We joined the sandbar tour in the morning, avoiding high tide, and the water was still up to our thighs! The timing of high tide varies by season, so it might be good to check that before deciding on the tour time.
You can leave your belongings on the boat while taking photos and snorkeling at the sandbar. It was my first time snorkeling, but the staff taught us, and after a few tries, I got the hang of it! We moved the boat a little and, wearing safety jackets, we saw coral reefs and fish at a depth of about 10 meters. At first, I was a bit scared, but I was able to see the beautiful underwater scenery.
While swimming, I was lucky enough to encounter a sea turtle, which was a rare experience.
We could also see many sea turtles from the boat and managed to capture some great photos.
On the way back, you can change clothes at a restroom near the boat dock, but I didn't have time (the men's restroom had no line, but the women's restroom had a queue), so I wore my clothes over my swimsuit on the way back. I had a bath towel, but since I got wet, I laid down a few smaller towels on the bus. I recommend bringing a few larger towels to prevent the bus seats from getting wet.
The guide and the captain were very friendly and cheerful! I really had a great time!
ワイキキ周辺のホテルからピックアップして、1時間程かけて船乗り場までバスで移動し、そこから船にのり、サンドバーへ向かいました!
昼食は船の中でハンバーガーとドリンクが出ました!とても美味しかったです!
トイレも2つ船の中についていました。
船はそんなに揺れなかったですが、心配な方は酔い止めの薬を飲んでから参加されるといいかもしれません★
サンドバーは満潮の時間帯をずらして午前中に参加しました(^^)それでも太腿くらいまでありました!
時期によって満潮の時間帯が異なるので調べてからツアー参加時間を決めても良いかもしれません
(^-^)
船の中に荷物は置いてサンドバーで写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングをします。
初シュノーケリングでしたが、スタッフが教えてくださり、何度かやったら習得できました★
サンドバーから少し船で移動し、海底10メートルほどのあるところで安全ジャケットを着用し
サンゴ礁や魚を見ます。
最初は少し怖かったのですが、とても綺麗な海底の景色をみることができました。
泳いでいる際にもウミガメに遭遇することができ、貴重な体験でした。
船からもウミガメをたくさん見ることができ、写真にもしっかりおさめることができました。
帰りは船乗り場近くのトイレで着替えることもできますが、私は時間がなく(男子トイレは並んでいませんでしたが、女子トイレは行列でした)水着の上が服を着て帰りました。
私はバスタオルを持っていましたが身体を拭いて濡れてしまったため、小さめのタオルを何枚か敷いてバスに乗りました。
バスの座席が濡れるのを防ぐため大きめのタオル
をいくつか持参されることをオススメします★
ガイドさんや船長さんがとても気さくで明るい方々でした!本当に楽しかったです^_^
The welcoming and the explanations after boarding were handled by a refreshing, handsome Japanese staff member, which made me feel at ease and enjoy the experience. It had been 20 years since I last swam, but thanks to the life jacket and the fins for my feet, I felt no anxiety. I was moved to encounter a large group of dolphins on both occasions. When I heard, "Look down at the sea! Dolphins!" and put my face in the water, I saw dozens of them swimming so close that I could almost touch them. We took plenty of photos with our phones in waterproof covers, and the videos of the dolphins turned out beautifully. Snorkeling was also amazing; I encountered sea turtles and got to experience the slide and stand-up paddleboarding, which was the best. The taro cheese burger was delicious too. When I made the reservation, I thought the price was a bit high, but considering it included the life jacket, snorkeling gear, a hamburger, and drinks, and especially the crew who made it fun, it was a very satisfying tour.
お迎え、乗船後の説明などずっと日本人の爽やかイケメンが担当してくれたので安心して楽しめました。
20年ぶりのスイミングでしたがライフジャケットと足に着けるフィンのお陰で不安に感じることなく、2回ともイルカの大群に出会えて感動しました。
「海側下見て!イルカ!」との声で海に顔をつけると、
本当に手に触れそうな近距離で何十頭が泳いでいきましたよ。
写真は自分達で防水カバーに入れた携帯でバシバシ撮って十分でしたし、イルカの動画も綺麗に撮れました。シュノーケリングも海亀に出会え、滑り台、スタンディングパドルも体験できて最高でした。
タロ芋チーズバーガーも美味しかったですよ。
予約する時はちょっと値段が高いかなぁと思いましたが、ライフジャケット、シュノーケリングセット込みでハンバーガー飲み物付き、何よりクルーが楽しませてくれてとても満足できたツアーでした。
