Oahu
Loved it! We saw turtles, dolphins, tons of fish and the wide open sea!
We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!
朝イチからイルカのペイントがされた大きなバスでお迎えにきていただきテンションがあがります♪車内もテンションの高いスタッフさんが面白くわかりやすく説明してくださりあっという間に乗船場所へ着きました。乗船すると運良くすぐにイルカに出会うことができ、バッチリ野生のイルカを見ることができました!!少し海が濁っていたのが残念ですが、その後も皆さんシュノーケルをしたりSUPをしたりと思い思いの時間を過ごすことができました。私わ体調が悪くなり船の上で休んでいましたが、その時もスタッフさんが優しく声をかけてくれてとても感謝しています。その後ハンバーガーやお菓子、フラダンス等内容盛りだくさんでとてもいい思い出ができました(●´ω`●)ハネムーンの皆さん(♡ˊvˋ♡)おすすめです♪
Aloha Shoko,
Congratulations on your graduation from the prestigious Dolphin University! We are all very pleased to hear from your comments that you enjoyed your experience.
We look forward to the next opportunity to meet you again. Once again, thank you very much!!
Dolphin Office, Noriko
Aloha ショウコ様

また機会がございましたら次回お会いできる日を楽しみにしております。
改めまして、この度はありがとうございました!!

This is a “must do” activity. You can spend an entire day, or just a few hours. We ended up spending about 6:00 hours and loved every bit. Go early, as the crowds are not bad in the mornings before 9:00.
There were no Japanese people other than us, but the atmosphere was enjoyable with families, couples, and people from various countries. The price included two free drinks, but we were told that there was no charge for the third drink, making it all-you-can-drink. Just make sure not to forget to give a tip to the staff instead of paying the bill. The sunset was wonderful, and I thought the night view after sunset was worth a million dollars.
日本人は我々以外居なかったが、家族連れやカップル、いろんな国からの人達で楽しい雰囲気だった。
代金には2フリードリンクでしたが、3杯目からも代金は要らないと言われ、飲み放題でした。
ただ代金の支払いの代わりにスタッフにチイップを渡すのは忘れないように。
サンセットは素晴らしく、日没後の夜景も100万ドルの価値があると思いました。
Lovely hike! The water and hiking stick as well as the bug spray that was provided, was greatly appreciated.
This was my second time participating. When I woke up in the morning… it was raining! I hoped it would stop soon, and after about an hour and a half on the bus, we arrived at the boat dock. On the boat, I first enjoyed Leonard's "Malasada" and chatted with the staff while heading to the sandbar… Unfortunately, the rain didn't stop, but we were welcomed by sea turtles and pufferfish. We walked (or maybe strolled?) in the water up to our thighs and took lots of photos… Then, it was finally time for snorkeling. After receiving instructions on how to snorkel, we formed a line with the other participants and explored underwater. Despite the rain, we were lucky to see many fish. After that, it was lunchtime! Taking advantage of the staff's words, "You can have as many servings as you want!", I enjoyed delicious kalbi and fruits until I was full. At the end, when they asked, "Are there any repeaters?", I raised my hand and received a cute bag with Captain Bruce's logo. It was a fun and delicious tour, and I even got a souvenir, so I highly recommend this option. I definitely want to try it for a third time, and I hope for good weather. Thank you to Captain and the staff for their kindness.
2度目の参加です。朝起きると…なんと雨降り! すぐに上がってくれると期待しながら、バスに1時間半ほど揺られて船乗り場に到着です。 船上でまずレナーズの”マラサダ”をいただき、スタッフさんのおしゃべりを楽しみながらサンドバーへ… 残念ながら雨は止みませんでしたが、ウミガメさんとフグの歓迎を受けました。 太ももくらいまでの海を散歩(?)したり、写真をいっぱい撮ってもらったり… そして、いよいよシュノーケルです。シュノーケルの仕方の説明を受け、参加者で列を作って海の中を探検しました。 雨にもかかわらず、たくさんのお魚さんたちを見ることができラッキーでした。 その後、ランチタイム! 「何度でもお変りしていいよ!」のスタッフさんの言葉に甘え、おいしいカルビやフルーツなどお腹いっぱいいただきました。 最後に「リピーターさんはいますか?」と聞かれたので、手を挙げるとキャプテンブルースのロゴ入りのかわいいバッグをいただきました。 楽しくて、美味しいツァーの上、お土産までいただき、ほんとにお勧めのオプションです。 是非3度目も挑戦したいですが、天候に恵まれるといいなと思います。 キャプテンはじめ、スタッフさん、親切にしていただきありがとうございました。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you very much for enjoying Paradise Ocean for the second time the other day.
I sincerely apologize for the weather not being great this time. We hope that for your third visit, you will be able to enjoy it under the beautiful Hawaiian blue sky.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
先日は2度目の天国の海を楽しんで頂いて本当にありがとうございます。
今回はお天気が今一歩で本当にスミマセン。ぜひ!!3度目は美しいハワイの青空のもとで楽しんで頂けますように。
I was looking forward to the blue sky and blue sea, but...
I was really disappointed by the terrible weather.
The rain and the extreme cold even made me feel unwell...
Later, when I was talking to a local taxi driver, he sympathized with me, saying it was unfortunate to go during a time of heavy rain that happens once every ten years.
Well, it was disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it.
However, the staff must have been cold too, yet they worked hard to cheer us up by getting into the sea with bright smiles.
This time, the weather was the worst, but the tour itself was really great, and if I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try again.
After all, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience such amazing nature.
This time I give it two stars, but if the weather had been good, it would have been five stars.
青い空、青い海を期待しての参加だったのに・・・
最悪の天気でガッカリでした。
雨と、あまりの寒さに体調までくずし・・・
後日、地元のタクシーの運転手と話しをしていたところ、10年に一度の大雨みたいな時に行くなんて残念だったね、と同情されました。
まあ、残念ではありましたが、これも自然相手なので仕方がないな、と思うしかありませんね。
しかしスタッフの人達も寒かったはずなのに、一緒に海に入り明るい笑顔で盛り上げてくれるなど一生懸命に頑張っておられました。
今回は、天気の都合で最悪でしたが、ツアー事態は大変良く、またハワイに行く機会が有りましたら、絶対再チャレンジしたいと思います。
なんと言ってもすばらしい自然に触れられるのですからね。
今回は星2つですが、天気さえよければ5つ星です。
The food was only ok. Service was very good. show was great! We had some wind which made some waves, so the boat was rocking a bit. Our server came around to ask if anyone was feeling seasick. Thankfully, no one in our group was.
I wasn’t expecting much since it wasn’t a tour. The driver did drive by past places that have significance to President Obama. Beautiful waterfall! No need for a guide.
It was extremely crowded, but we were able to enjoy the slides to the fullest and had delicious food. After getting full, we experienced bodyboarding.
I'm satisfied!
めちゃくちゃ混んでて、回らないわけでもなく
思い切りスライダーなど楽しめて、美味しいご飯
でお腹いっぱいになったところで、ボディボード体験^_^
満足です
It was cold and there were a lot of downpours during this season. Despite not being able to bring in food and drinks, the meals were terrible. Just like in America.
時期的にスコールが多く、寒かったです。
飲食持ち込み出来ないわりには食事が最悪。さすがアメリカです。
Had a great time on this excursion. Staff is fun and friendly. BBQ food was good. Got to see lots of turtles, had the privilege to snorkel with one. It was amazing. Saw lots of fish on the reef. Would recommend
This was my second time participating. Unfortunately, there were strong winds and passing rain this time, and I was worried about whether I could enjoy it, but I was able to have fun just like last time. The kind and enjoyable explanations in Japanese also made for a great time. The promised turtles had increased to two, which was delightful. The only disappointment was that there wasn't a low tide sufficient to expose the sandy area again, so I want to thoroughly research the low tide periods and plan my trip for next time.
2回目の参加でした。今回はあいにく強風と通り雨で、楽しめるのか心配しましたが、前回と変わらず楽しむことができました。親切で楽しい日本語での説明も楽しい時間でした。お約束の亀も二匹になっていて、楽しみました。残念なのは、今回も砂地が表れる程の干潮でなく、次回は干潮時期をしっかり調べて旅行を計画したい。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for joining us for the second time on the Paradise Ocean Tour. The condition of the sandbar is a natural phenomenon, so we won't know until that day and time... We hope you encounter an even more beautiful sandbar next time! We look forward to your participation.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
2度目の天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございます。サンドバーの状態は自然現象なのでその日その時間になってみないと判らないのですが。。。次回はもっと美しいサンドバーに遭遇して頂けますように!ご参加お待ちしてますね。
I had a great time with well-trained, intelligent dolphins. The local instructor taught us in an easy-to-understand mix of English and Japanese, making it enjoyable.
よく訓練された賢いイルカと楽しい時間が過ごせました。インストラクターの現地の方もわかりやすい英語に日本語も混ぜて楽しく教えてくれました。
I drove to the parking lot of Aloha Tower Marketplace and searched around the marketplace, but I couldn't find anything that looked like a ticket center. Be aware that Pier 6, where the cruise departs, is located a bit further away. The rundown marketplace had sparse crowds, and even after asking a few people, no one knew where Pier 6 was. Although it was written that Atlantis Adventures could assist in Japanese, they only spoke English, which was a bit concerning. So, just to be safe, I asked an older gentleman managing the port, and finally arrived at Pier 6, where there was a large parking lot next to it. It would have been better if they had guided me here from the start.
As for the cruise itself, it was on a small boat, so there was a bit of rocking. The entertainment was simple, featuring a live performance and one hula dancer, but it was enough to enjoy the sunset and the night view of Honolulu. The meal portions were also appropriate. The boat has three levels: the first floor has tables for dining, the second floor has sofas for a more relaxed atmosphere, and the stage is also on the second floor. The third floor is partially covered with a roof over the deck, so it depends on the weather.
I think the cost is reasonable.
レンタカーでアロハタワー・マーケットプレイスの駐車場に行き、マーケットプレイス内を探し回りましたが、チケットセンターらしきものはなく、出航するピア6は少し離れた場所にあるので注意。さびれたマーケットプレイスには人がまばらで何人かに聞いてもピア6の場所は分からず、日本語で対応可能と書いてあったアトランティス アドベンチャーズ は英語しか話せず心許なかったので、念のため港の管理のおじさんに聞いてやっとピア6に到着すると、横に大きな駐車場。最初からここを案内してくれれば良いものを。
クルーズ自体は、小さな船なので少し揺れが大きく、エンターテイメントも簡易な生演奏とフラガール一人とささやかですが、サンセットやホノルルの夜景が楽しめるので十分でしょう。食事も適量です。船は三層で1階はテーブルで食事、2階はソファもあってゆったりくつろぐ感じ、ステージも2階です。3階は半分がデッキに屋根を付けたものなので、天候によるでしょう。
コスト的にはリーズナブルだと思います。
As growing up on Kaneohe Bay, it was fun to come back and have this adventure. The crew was great and very virtuous.
This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first experience using Veltra, but everything went smoothly, including the transfers! I think we saw about ten sea turtles. Additionally, we were lucky enough to spot a monk seal! It was a bit far away, so we could only see its head, but the staff was quite excited about it, too.
It rained a little, which allowed us to see a beautiful big rainbow, and I was very satisfied! I had researched the tide beforehand, but it was deeper than I expected, so we didn't walk on the sand.
It had been a while since I went snorkeling, and the waves were rough due to the strong winds over the past few days, but the staff guided us, and we were able to enjoy it safely. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
今回初ハワイで、ベルトラも初めての利用でしたが、送迎等も問題なく楽しめました!
ウミガメウォッチングは10匹くらい見れたかもしれません。また、運良くモンクシールも顔を出してくれました!遠目だったので頭しか見えなかったですが、スタッフの方もかなり興奮されてました笑
雨もちょっと降ったため、大きな虹も見れ、大満足です!
潮位に関しては、事前に調べたものの、思ったより深くて砂場を歩くまではいきませんでした。
シュノーケルも久々で、また連日の強風で波も荒かったですが、スタッフが誘導してくださり安全に楽しめました。
また機会があれば参加したいです。
The experience of being on a submarine was good, but the waiting time was long, and I wished that photo opportunities were limited to those who wanted them.
The explanations were played in Japanese through headphones, but the live English voice was loud and overlapping, making it difficult to hear.
I didn't see many fish, and the colors weren't vivid. I understood well the importance of environmental protection.
潜水艦に乗れる経験は よかったが、待ち時間が長くて 写真撮影は、希望者だけにして欲しかった。
説明が日本語でヘッドホンから流れるけれど生の英語の声が大きくて重なり 聞き取りづらかった。
魚があまり見られなく、色も鮮明でなかった。環境保護の大切さは良くわかった、
We went on our honeymoon. During the car ride, we received a fun and easy-to-understand explanation about dolphins. Perhaps we were well-prepared, as many dolphins welcomed us right away. Once we got in the water, I found myself completely absorbed with the dolphins, feeling joyful and happy! It was the best!
It was so much fun to see dolphins jumping right in front of me, and I encountered generous dolphins with a great sense of service. I also got to see turtles nearby, which made me feel relaxed. It was nice to take things slowly. The colorful fish were also very cute.
The photos became wonderful memories. I truly felt fulfilled in many ways (the hamburger was delicious), thank you very much.
ハネムーンでいきました。車中で、イルカさんについての楽しくわかりやすい説明をうけました。準備バッチリだったのか、すぐにたくさんのイルカさんが迎えてくれました。入水し、気づけば無我夢中でイルカさんに、アロハ~楽しい!幸せな気持ち!最高!
目の前で水面でクルッとジャンプしてくれたり、サービス精神の旺盛な気前のいいイルカさんに出会えて楽しかったです。亀さんも近くに見れて、ゆったりとした気持ちに。ゆっくりでいいんだぁなぁ~色とりどりのお魚さんもとってもかわいらしかったです。
写真もいい思い出になりました。ほんとにいろんな意味でお腹いっぱいになり(ハンバーガーおいしかったよ)、ありがとうございました。
Aloha Yoshi and Tomo!!
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We also appreciate you taking the time during your valuable honeymoon to join us. We hope the dolphin power has brought you even more happiness!!
There are manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next visit.
Mahalo!!

It was written that there would be a "BBQ on board," but in reality, it was just one cheeseburger and potato chips. It also mentioned "free eco bags with logo!" but there were no gifts.
The activity itself was good as we were able to see dolphins. The dolphins were small, specifically the spinner dolphins. We went to see them while they were sleeping, so we didn't get to see them coming close or swimming around as we had imagined.
「船上BBQ付き」と書いてあるましたが実際にはチーズバーガー1つとポテトチップスでした。また「ロゴ付きエコバックプレゼント!」と書いてありましたがプレゼントはありませんでした。
アクティビティ自体はイルカも見れて良かったです。イルカはハシナガイルカという小型のイルカ。寝ているところを見に行ったので、想像していたような近寄ってきたり泳ぎ回ったりという姿は見られませんでした。
I participated with the image of being able to walk on the sandbar, but in reality, the sandbar was not visible, and I was submerged in seawater up to my waist. I wish there had been a bit more time to stay and for snorkeling.
サンドバーの上を歩けるイメージで参加しましたが、実際はサンドバーは顔を出さず、腰近くまで海水に浸かっていました。もう少し滞在時間やシュノーケルの時間があったらいいなと思いました。
First of all, motion sickness medication is a must!
The sea was incredibly beautiful and clear.
The sunken ships and airplanes were mysterious,
and there were lots of small fish! Of course, there were big fish too!
And above all, the guide was very humorous and made it fun.
At the end, a dolphin swam by briefly.
I wish I could have seen it a little closer.
まず酔い止めは必須!
めちゃめちゃ海がキレイで透き通っていました。
人工的に沈めた船や飛行機が神秘的で
小さい魚たちがいっぱいいました!もちろん大きい魚たちも!
そしてなんといっても案内役の方がとてもユーモアがあって楽しかったです。
最後にちらりとイルカが泳いでいました。
もうちょっと近くで見れたら良かったなー。
Aloha! Thank you very much for boarding the Atlantis Submarine and for sharing your feedback. We are all very pleased to hear that you encountered many fish and dolphins during your underwater exploration. We also appreciate your kind words about our guides. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again. Mahalo!
アロハ!この度はアトランティス潜水艦にご乗船、そしてご感想をいただき誠にありがとうございます。海中探検でたくさんの魚やイルカに出会えたと伺い私たちスタッフ一同大変嬉しく思います。また、弊社の案内係をお褒めいただきありがとうございます。またのご乗船をお待ち致しております。マハロ!
I was worried about not being able to speak English at all, but the staff provided detailed explanations in Japanese beforehand. Once it started, the trainer could speak a little Japanese and taught us how to touch the dolphins in Japanese. I think the experience lasted just under an hour. The dolphins were smart and really cute. (*´∀`*)
英語が全く話せなくてどうなるだろうかと思っていたら、詳しい説明は事前に日本語のスタッフの方がしてくださいました。
始まってからはトレーナーの方もちょっとだけ日本語が喋れるということで、日本語でイルカの触り方を教えてくださいました。体験時間は一時間弱ほどだったかと思います。イルカが賢くて本当に可愛かったです。(*´∀`*)
Although it was disappointing that the sandbar didn't appear due to the rainy weather and it not being low tide, the staff were very kind, and I had a great time.
天候が雨模様でしかも引き潮の時期ではなかったそうで、サンドバーが現れなかったのは残念でしたが、スタッフの皆さんが大変親切で、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
The guide, Yuki, was very enjoyable and left a good impression. However, the seawater came up to my chest, which was a bit different from what I expected (but that's nature, so it can't be helped). I think snorkeling is a waste of time, so it's not necessary. I read in a review that "the bus is cold," so I brought extra towels, but it was still cold. Doesn't the company see reviews like this? Please consider the temperature of the bus for future guests!!
ガイドのユキさんは とても楽しく良い印象でした。が、胸のあたりまで
海水が来たので、ちょっと思っていたのと違いました。(自然のことなので仕方ない)
シュノーケリングは時間がもったいないので
しなくていいと思います。この口コミで、「バスが寒い」と書いてあったので
タオルを多めに持っていきましたが、それでも寒かったです。会社の方は、この
ような口コミを見ないのでしょうか?今後の方のためにバスの温度を考えてください!!
Dining while cruising and enjoying the sunset, the night view of Waikiki, and even watching fireworks was a truly luxurious experience. However, the fireworks from Hilton lasted only about five minutes, so if you're imagining the quality of a Japanese fireworks festival, you might find it a bit lacking. Please keep that in mind when attending the fireworks every Friday! ^^
クルーズで食事を取りながらサンセット、ワイキキの夜景、さらに花火を見たりするのはとても贅沢な時間を過ごせられました。ただヒルトンからの花火は5分程度だったので、日本の花火大会のようなクオリティを想像していると物足りなさが出てしまうため、毎週金曜日の花火はそのつもりで参加されてくださいね^^
I had a wonderful time being able to touch a dolphin for the first time and swim with them! I highly recommend this program! However, the Sea Life Park itself is not very large (you can walk around it in about an hour), so after playing with the dolphins, I found myself with some extra time. Also, while playing with the dolphins, you can't take photos with your smartphone, so you'll need to purchase the photos and data taken by the photographer later (for two people, it's 75 dollars for four photos each).
イルカに初めて触ることや一緒に泳いだりすることができて素敵な時間を過ごすことが出来ました^^オススメのプログラムです!
ただシーライフパーク自体はそこまで広くない場所(1時間もあれば一周できます)なので、イルカと遊んだあとは少し時間を弄んじゃいました。
またイルカと遊んでる時はスマホ等の撮影が出来ないので、カメラマンに撮ってもらった写真とデータを後で購入(2人の場合、各4枚で75ドル)する形となります。
This was our second time on this cruise. The staff is great and the scenery is gorgeous! Highly recommend,
At high tide, the water was up to my waist, but I was still able to enjoy the feeling of being on the sea. During snorkeling, there were so many people that I was more aware of them than the fish (laughs). Nevertheless, the friendly staff's support allowed me to have a wonderful time. It can be surprisingly tiring, so I recommend the morning package.
満潮で、腰まで浸かる高さでしたがそれでも海の上にいる感覚を味わえました。
シュノーケリングでは人が密集しすぎて魚より人に意識がいきました(笑)
それでも気さくなスタッフの対応とフォローで幸せなひと時を過ごす事ができました。
意外と疲れるので午前パックがおススメです。
We participated as a couple.
To put it simply, while there are tickets that include BBQ and unlimited drinks, the standard admission ticket with transportation was sufficient.
There are food options like hot dogs and hamburgers (around $9.89), as well as popcorn ($4).
We shared a large drink, which seemed to be about a liter in size, for $3.
I cannot recommend the BBQ plan at all. It takes up time, and while it says there are wakeboarding lessons, you just get handed a wakeboard and flail around in a wavy pool. They don’t actually teach you, so please be aware of that.
The pool lockers can be opened and closed multiple times, which is very convenient. I think the large size was around $20. The dimensions are about 300×450×300 mm, which is enough to fit a regular-sized backpack with some extra space. I recommend getting a large locker; the small size is really tiny and can only fit something like a handbag.
The pool was a lot of fun!
There are many attractions that go fast, so children in elementary school (lower grades) can enjoy them, but younger kids may not be able to ride many attractions due to height restrictions. Families should take note.
I hope this review helps everyone.
夫婦2人で参加しました。
結果から言うとBBQ付きとかドリンク飲み放題とかありますが、普通に入場券+送迎だけのチケットで十分でした。
食べ物はホットドックとかハンバーガーもあります(9.89ドル)し、ポップコーン(4ドル)なんかもあります。
ドリンクはリットルはありそうな大きさのlargeサイズ(3ドル)を2人で分けました。
BBQのプランは全くオススメ出来ません。時間を取られますし、ウェイクボードのレッスンと書いてますがただウェイクボードを渡されて波のあるプールでバタバタするだけです。教えてくれませんのでお間違いのないようにしてください。
プールのロッカーは何度も開け閉めできるので大変便利。大きいサイズで20ドル程度だったと思います。大きさは300×450×300ぐらいです。普通の大きさのリュックが1つ入れて余裕があるくらい。大きいサイズのロッカーをオススメします。小さいサイズは本当に小さいです。ハンドバックぐらいしか入りません。
プールはとっても楽しかったです!
スピードが出るアトラクションが多いので小学生低学年以上だと楽しめますが、それ以下だと身長制限で乗れないアトラクションが多くなります。ご家族はご注意を。
この口コミが皆さんの助けになることを祈ります。
