Oahu
The sea was very beautiful, and it was wonderful to see so many fish swimming. Also, the coral was very large, and I was breathless at the sight I saw for the first time.
The BBQ was quite affected by the heavy rain, but the hamburgers were very delicious, and I was able to enjoy it even in the downpour.
海がとても綺麗で、魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが素敵でした。また、珊瑚がとても大きくて初めて見る光景に息を呑みました。
雨がかなりひどかったBBQでしたが、ハンバーガーがとても美味しく、大雨でも楽しめました。
At first, the boat was rocking a lot, and I got seasick, but once we entered the sea, we were able to see wild dolphins and sea turtles, which became a very valuable experience.
Whether you actually encounter them depends on luck, but we were lucky to meet them.
最初は船の揺れがひどく、酔ってしまいましたが、
海に入ってからは、野生のイルカ、ウミガメを見ることができて、とても貴重な経験になりました。
実際に出会えるかは運次第のところもありますが、
自分たちは出会えてラッキーでした。
I had reserved a shuttle service, but after waiting 5 minutes past the scheduled arrival time, I called to confirm and was told they were on their way and to wait. After waiting for another 10 minutes without any sign of them, I informed the staff at the hotel where we were staying, and they made several calls, but in the end, we waited for 40 minutes without the shuttle arriving, so we took a taxi instead. (The taxi fare was refunded.) Once we arrived at the destination, everything went smoothly, and the kids enjoyed themselves. I've heard about shuttle troubles happening abroad, but it was my first experience, so I felt a bit disappointed.
送迎を予約していましたが到着予定時間5分を過ぎても来ないので、電話で確認したところ向かってるから待っててと言われました。
その後10分程待ちましたが、やはり来ないので僕らが宿泊してるホテルのスタッフにも伝え、何度か電話してもらいましたが結局40分待っても来なかった為、タクシーで向かいました。(タクシー代は返金対応しました。)
現地到着後は、特に問題なく子供達も楽しんでいました。
送迎トラブルは海外ではよく聞きますが、はじめてだったので少し残念な気持ちになりましたね。
Our tour guide and bus driver were both very knowledgeable and were easy to understand. We were given ample time at each stop to be able to see sights and take pictures. Lunch was very tasty. This is definitely one tour that I would recommend to friends and family.
Hi Lucinda,
THANKS! for your 5 star review:) Everyone at Oahu Nature Tours is very grateful.
All the Best,
Michael
When we arrived at the port, it was rainy, which was a bit disappointing, but as we went out to sea, the skies cleared up. The sandbar walk and encounters with sea turtles were a lot of fun. Snorkeling was also a valuable experience.
港に着いた時は雨模様で、少しがっかりだったが、沖合いに出るにつれ晴れ間が。サンドバーウォークや海ガメとの出会いはとても楽しかった。シュノーケルも貴重な体験でした。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Seas Tour. Thank you very much for participating. I hope you were surprised by the rainy start, but I'm glad it cleared up along the way! The weather in Hawaii is truly unpredictable. 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。雨スタートでびっくりされたかと思いますが、途中で晴れて良かったです!!本当にハワイの天気は読めませんね。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。
We participated with two adults and three children in late April. The shuttle bus had strong air conditioning, so long sleeves are a must! The pool was spacious and the wave pool was great! Plus, we could slide down the slides as much as we wanted! The children's pool wasn't just a shallow pool, so they had fun too.
4月下旬に大人2人子供3人で参加しました。送迎バスは少し冷房が強く長袖は必須です!プールは空いていて大きな波のプールも悠々と!それにスライダーも滑り放題!子供のプールもただの浅瀬のプールではなかったから楽しめました。
Since it was the last season in April, I expected it, but unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales. Perhaps feeling sorry for us, we were able to see the spout of a whale during our stopover, although it was quite far away.
4月の参加でシーズン最後だったので、予想はしてましたが、残念なからくじらを見ることはできませんでした。
そんな私たちを哀れに思ったのか、寄港する途中でくじらの潮吹いたところだけ見せてくれました。かなり遠かったけど。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

In Japan, you can let out your screams without holding back, and it's the best! It's a park where both small children and adults can have fun, and there are staff members everywhere, so you can feel safe both in the park and in the water.
日本では、出しては、いけないギャー の声も隠さず出せて 最高〜!でも小さい子供から大人まで楽しめるparkで至る所で監視員がいるので park内や水の中でも安心。
You will travel to the submarine by a larger ferry from the pier and board the submarine that has surfaced. The journey to the submarine feels like a cruise with a view of Diamond Head. The boat may sway a bit, so those prone to seasickness should be cautious.
Inside the submarine, there is a decent amount of space, and we were able to enjoy observing the underwater fish and sea turtles. As we navigate between the reefs, you can see many fish. Fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles.
It was a very enjoyable tour.
潜水艦までは桟橋から大き目のフェリーで移動し,浮上してきた潜水艦に搭乗します.
潜水艦までの移動もダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながらクルージングといった雰囲気です.少々船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方は注意してください.
潜水艦内はそこそこ余裕もあり,楽しく水中の魚やウミガメを観察することができました.
漁礁の間を縫うように進むため,たくさんの魚をみることができます.
運よく自分たちはウミガメを見ることができました.
非常に楽しいツアーでした.
I had a wonderful time with the lovely guide and staff! I was a bit anxious since I had a child with me, but the sandbar was shallow enough for my 2-year-old to enjoy, and we even got to see sea turtles, which was so exciting! The guide was very considerate, and we were in a great mood the whole time! I was also happy that they actively took photos for us!
Snorkeling was a bit too early for my 2-year-old, so we took turns enjoying it. The food was delicious, and having unlimited drinks was great too.
素敵なガイドさんとスタッフさんで楽しい時間を過ごせました(^^)子供づれだったので不安でしたが、サンドバーは浅瀬で2歳児でも楽しめて海亀も見れて大興奮♫ガイドさんが気遣ってくださり、終始ご機嫌でした!写真も積極的に撮ってくださり嬉しかったです!
シュノーケリングは流石に2歳には早かったので代わり番こに楽しみました。
ご飯も美味しくドリンク飲み放題なのもいいですね。
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.
Every part of the itinerary was truly wonderful, but what stood out the most was the hospitality of the staff! While I was playing at the sandbar, I dropped my glasses and was in trouble, but all the staff helped me look for them, and miraculously, they were found! Jamie, in particular, willingly took part in the search and was a great help!! Thank you for the lovely tour! The lunch we had on the boat was also very delicious.
すべての行程が本当に素晴らしかったのですが、特に素晴らしかったのが、スタッフの方々のホスピタリティー!
サンドバーで遊んでいるときに、メガネを落としてしまって、困っていたところに、スタッフ全員で探してもらい、奇跡的に見つかりました!特にジェイミーは快く捜索をかって出てくれて、本当に助かりました!!
素敵なツアーをありがとうございます!
船の上で頂いたランチもとても美味しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. First of all, I'm glad that the lost item was found! I believe that the service spirit and hospitality of our staff, including Jamie, are one of the charms of our company. We are honored that you seemed satisfied. 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。まずは落とし物が見つかってよかったです!!ジェイミーをはじめ、スタッフのお客様へのサービス精神とホスピタリティは、弊社の魅力の一つだと思っております。ご満足いただけたようで、光栄です。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。
We had a great driver, he was awesome, very friendly, really informative and very punctual . Was a great service and made our life easy getting to Diamond Head and back to our Hotel
You can see airplanes sunk deep on the ocean floor, making it truly an adventure. If you're lucky, you might also spot a large sea turtle swimming gracefully next to the submarine. Before diving in the submarine, you'll travel by boat, and I think the views from there are also very nice. If you mainly want to enjoy the fish, consider choosing a different tour, such as snorkeling.
深く海底に沈んでいる飛行機なども見れてまさにアドベンチャー。運が良ければ大きなウミガメが潜水艦の横を悠々と泳ぐ姿も見れます。潜水艦で潜る前に船で移動しますが、そこからの景色もとても良いと思います。なお、お魚をメインで楽しみたい方は、シュノーケルなど別なツアーにしましょう。
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。
I was moved by my first experience at the sandbar! It was also my first time seeing a beautiful heart-shaped sandbar! I was able to meet many honu (sea turtles)!
サンドバーは初体験で感動しました~
綺麗なハート形のサンドバーも初でした~
たくさんのホヌに会うことが出来ました❗
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm glad you got to see the heart reef. Happiness will come your way! We all 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。ハートリーフもご覧に頂いたのですね。幸せが訪れますよ〜。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。
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。
It’s a very good tour around the mountain with kids. A few movie filming site is a bonus! Highly recommended!
The guide was kind, and I was able to interact closely with the sea turtles, plus the food was delicious! Be careful of sunburn, so make sure to apply sunscreen and dress appropriately. I got really excited and ended up being loud, but it seems that the sea turtles don't come close to loud noises. The best way to get close is to quietly observe them when you find them!
The guide was so genuine that I didn't mind giving a tip at all!
ガイドさんも優しいし、ウミガメと至近距離で触れ合えたし、ご飯も美味しい!
日焼けは結構しますので、しっかり塗って着込んで対策を。
テンション高くて大声が出てしまいますが、ウミガメさんはうるさい音には近づいてこないみたいです。見つけたらそっと見守りするのが1番近づけるポイントです!
ガイドさんがとても良心的なので、チップ渡すのは嫌にならないほど良かったです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We appreciate your feedback on the tips for getting close to the sea turtles. They can be quite aloof, but if you observe them without fussing over them, they will come closer! We're also honored to hear that you enjoyed the experience so much that you didn't mind giving a tip. 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。ウミガメに近づけるポイントの伝授、ありがとうございます。カメさんはなかなかのツンデレなので、チヤホヤせずに見守ると寄って来てくれるんですよね!そして、チップを渡すのがいやにならないほど良かったとのお言葉。とても光栄です。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 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。
It's not a very difficult trail course. In my opinion, it consumes about one-third of the energy compared to Diamond Head or Makapu'u Trail. The guide was also entertaining and explained about the plants. Since it's mostly shaded, I recommend it for those who are tired of the Hawaiian sun. It's a good idea to bring insect repellent spray!
そんなに辛くないトレイルコースです。
私の感覚では、ダイアモンドヘッドやマカプウトレイルの1/3ぐらいの体力消費だと思います。
ガイドさんも面白く、植物について説明してくれました。
ほぼオール木陰なので、ハワイの日差しに疲れた方にお勧めです。
虫除けスプレーを持って行った方が良いですよ~
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 :)
The band performance and stage were only on the second floor, and you couldn't access them from the deck. If there hadn't been fireworks, this tour would have offered nothing besides the cruise for this price. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sorry.
バンド演奏やステージも2階のみでデッキから降りても入れない状態でした。
これで花火がなかったらクルーズ以外なにもないツアーでこの値段、個人的にはお勧めしません。ごめんなさい。
I thought we could definitely go by ourselves, but while climbing, it was great to learn about the names of plants and hear stories about birds.
Finally, having lunch in Kapiolani Park was nice and open.
I heard that there hadn't been much water in the waterfall for the past two weeks, but when we went, thanks to some rain a little earlier, there was water flowing. We were lucky.
きっと自分達だけでも行けるのだと思いましたが、登っていく間に、植物の名前を教えてもらえたり、鳥の話をしてもらえたり、とってもよかったです。
最後にカピオラニ公園でのランチもオープンな感じでよかったです。
ここ2週間くらい滝の水がほとんどなかったそうですが、私たちが行った時は、少し前の雨のおかげで、水が流れていました。ラッキーでした。
I had a great time without feeling any anxiety, thanks to the dynamic lady who picked us up, the "cute" mom with a Kansai dialect, and the reliable captain! ❣️
送迎のダイナミックのご婦人、関西弁の「かわいい」ママ、頼りになる船長など、まったく不安を感じることなく楽しめましたよ❣️
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. The first photo of the sandbar is wonderful!! The colors are incredibly beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
