Oahu
As a 30yr kamaaina , originally from Scotland, I took a visiting Scot on this voyage.. WHAT a joy!
Knowing the sandbar, the snorkeling and turtle viewing areas as a local...I was SO impressed how this professional bunch put on a safe and VERY authentic trip for all to enjoy the best of a windward bay on Oahu.
I can't imagine how anyone could be disappointed going on such a fun, relaxing, water adventure.
Kudos to the local staff who ALL did an exemplary job.
This was my second time on the Sunset Dinner Cruise, and it was great again. Unfortunately, the sunset was hidden by clouds, but the night view of the Waikiki hotel district from the ocean side was very beautiful. The last-minute reservation went smoothly, and there were no issues at all. I think it's a recommended tour.
サンセットディナークルーズは二度目でしたが
今回も良かったです。残念ながら夕日は雲に隠れて見えなかったけど海側から見るワイキキのホテル街の夜景はとても綺麗でした。急遽の予約でしたが送迎もスムーズでなんの問題もありませんでした。オススメのツアーだと思います。
We took our son to the show for his birthday and truly enjoyed every minute. I would recommend this show over any of the other Luaus we have been too. The staff was very entertaining and actually seemed to enjoy themselves. We will go again if we get a chance to return to Oahu.
The pool itself was nice, but the lunch barbecue had a limited menu for the price, and the taste was mediocre. Additionally, the meal time was strict and short.
Since outside drinks are not allowed, it might be necessary, but I think you should buy what you like for lunch at the shop.
プール自体はよかったですが、ランチのバーベキューが値段の割にメニューが少なく、味もイマイチでした。
また、食事時間も厳密で、短かったです。
飲み物は持ち込みできないので、必要かもしれませんが、ランチは売店で好きなものを購入するべきだと思います。
Sea Life Park was a lot of fun. There was plenty of time before the scheduled activities and after they ended, so I was initially worried I might get bored, but I was able to enjoy myself thoroughly.
However, I was dissatisfied with the pickup time. The shuttle bus arrived about an hour late from the scheduled time, without any prior notice. Since it was early in the morning, the contact number was also unavailable, and I was just left waiting.
I have no complaints about the activities themselves, but I am very dissatisfied with the transportation leading up to them.
シーライフパーク、とても楽しかったです。
対象のアクティビティーまでの時間、また終わってからの集合時間までの時間に余裕があり、当初、暇になるんじゃないかと心配でしたが、十分楽しむことができました。
しかし、ピックアップ時間に不満ありでした。
予定時刻から1時間ほど大幅に遅れて送迎バスがきました。
何の連絡も無しにです。
早朝であったことから、問い合わせ先も時間外でしたし、ただただ待っている状況。
アクティビティー事態に不満はありませんが、それまでの送迎に大いに不満ありです。
The large-sized submarine allowed us to see the seabed clearly without feeling cramped, and we even spotted a turtle in the corner of a sunken ship.
Additionally, there were various fish that we could see vividly, which also impressed my wife.
大きいサイズの潜水艦圧迫感が無く鮮明に海底が見えて沈没船の隅に亀も見れました
又、魚も色々といて鮮明に見れて妻も感動しました。
When we arrived, it was just after high tide and the water was up to our waists, but we had a great time! The ocean was beautiful! Amazing!! Just that alone lifted our spirits. The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy, but it didn't rain.
A turtle, which seemed to be used to the tour guides (like an old friend from childhood), was swimming gently near the boat. We were told not to touch it, shout, or chase it! If we followed these rules, it gradually came closer to us. It was big! So cute!! Everyone was captivated, haha.
It made everyone so happy♪ We didn't go snorkeling; instead, we borrowed some floaties and just floated around, having a blast! It was so much fun! Floaties are the best! The food was delicious too! Kalbi♪
After getting out of the water, it got chilly, so having a warm drink was nice. The coffee was great! This was my second time participating, and I definitely want to come again☆
着いた頃は満潮から少し経った頃で水は腰上でしたが、充分楽しかったです!
海綺麗!最高!!これだけでテンション上がります。
お天気は晴れたり曇ったりでしたが雨は降らずでした。
ツアーのお姉さんに慣れた亀さん(小さい頃からのお友達みたい)が船の近くをユラユラ泳いでます。
触らず、大声出さず、追いかけない!
これを守ればだんだん近寄ってきてくれます。
大きい!可愛い!!
みんな夢中でした 笑
みんな幸せになれますね♪
私達は、シュノーケリングはせず、浮き輪を借りてプカプカユラユラ遊んでました!
最高に楽しい!浮き輪最高!
ご飯も美味しかった!カルビ♪
海から上がると冷えるので温かい飲み物も嬉しかったです。
コーヒー美味しかった!
今回2回目の参加でしたが、また是非来たいと思います☆
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. The turtles are so cute, aren't they? You got some great photos, didn't you? 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。亀さん可愛いですよね!!写真もバッチリ取れたじゃないですか!!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。
When I entered the sea and looked in the direction the instructor indicated, I could really see four or five dolphins swimming! Furthermore, as a special treat, we changed locations and entered the sea again, where we were able to see nearly ten dolphins, including a small baby dolphin!! Other activities and events on the boat were also a lot of fun!! Thanks to the motion sickness band I purchased on the bus ride there, I was able to enjoy the experience without any seasickness at all!!
海に入ってインストラクターの指示する方向を見ると、本当にイルカが4,5頭泳いでいるのが見えました!さらに、今回は特別に、ということでポイントを変えて再度海に入ると、今度は小さな子どもイルカを含む10頭近くのイルカを見ることができました!!その他のアクティビティや船上でのイベント等もとても楽しかったです!!行きのバスで購入した酔い止めバンドのおかげで、まったく船酔いもせず楽しむことができました!!
I was able to see dolphins about three times! I was so moved to see a baby dolphin too!
While snorkeling, I was also able to see a sea turtle up close, which was very satisfying. The hamburgers we had on the boat were also really delicious! ( ˆoˆ )/
It would have been even better if there were fewer people, haha.
イルカ3回位見れました!赤ちゃんも見れて感動!
シュノーケリング中にウミガメもじっくり至近距離でみることができて満足です。船で食べられるハンバーガーもとってもおいしかったです( ˆoˆ )/
人が少なければもっと最高だったな笑
Aloha!!
Thank you for participating in the prestigious Dolphin University tour. We are all very pleased that you were able to experience something that is hard to come by in Japan. There are also manta tours available on the Big Island that you won't find on Oahu, so we look forward to your next participation.
Mahalo!!

Aloha!! 様
この度は名門イルカ大学のツアーにご参加頂き、ありがとうございました。
日本では中々経験できない体験をして頂けて、スタッフ一同嬉しい限りです。
ハワイ島にはオアフ島にはないマンタツアーなどもございますので、またのご参加を心待ちにしております。
Mahalo!!

GREAT time!!!! Staff was wonderful and did a great job of ensuring we had a good time!!!
If we had the time, we’d do it again!!!
We took a large bus to the dock, and from there, we transferred to a boat to set off. It's an efficient way to experience everything, so it might be great for those who are short on time or want to pack in a lot of activities. We had imagined we would be able to snorkel a bit more leisurely, so that was a bit disappointing. If snorkeling is your main goal, it might be better to choose a different tour. However, if your aim is to visit the sandbar, this could be a good option.
大型バスに乗って船着き場まで移動、そこから船に乗り換えて出発。
効率よく体験ができるので、時間のない方や色んなものを詰め込んでみたい方にはいいいかも。
私たちは、もうすこしゆっくりシュノーケリングができるかと想像していたので、その点はが残念でした。シュノーケリングを目的に参加するなら別のツアーがいいかもしれません。
サンドバーの見学が目的なら、いいかも。
Although the perfect Shirahama didn't appear, I had a great time playing with a beach ball, taking photos, and enjoying myself. I was also very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming.
完全な白浜は現れませんでしたが、ビーチボールをひたり、写真を撮ったり、楽しく過ごせました。
ウミガメの泳ぐ姿もたくさん見られて大満足です。
During my last trip to Hawaii, the weather was bad, and I couldn't participate in any activities. This time, I finally got to go on a dolphin tour! There was an announcement that dolphins were present, but we had a hard time getting in the water, which made me nervous. However, I was able to see many dolphins from the boat. Once we got in the water, I was able to see a pod of about ten dolphins! I'm very satisfied.
前回のハワイ渡航では、天気が悪くアクティビティに参加出来ませんでした。
今回、念願叶ってのイルカツアー!
イルカは居ますとのアナウンスでしたが、中々入水出来ず、ドキドキしましたが、船の上からはたくさん見ることができました。
入水してからも、10頭ほどの群れを見ることが出来ましたよ(^-^)満足です。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University this time! We are glad that you were able to see the dolphins. We look forward to your next participation. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました!今回こそイルカを見ていただくことが出来て幸いです。またのご参加をお待ちしております、MAHALO!!
It was a nice dinner cruise. Entertainer was beautiful. Just wish we had air conditioning, it was hot.
The crew were sensational with everyone.. it really made the day.. captain found us lots of dolphins and the conditions were awesome.. highly recommended well worth the money.. great day
Mahalo! We're so glad that you enjoyed your time with us, thank you for the kind words!
It was a wonderful experience.
The beautiful sea and blue sky made for very fortunate weather.
Participating in the afternoon allowed for a relaxed schedule, making it a perfect plan for the day after arrival.
Although the water level was a bit high, so I couldn't experience the "white sandy beach floating off Kaneohe Bay," it was still worth it. This scenery was breathtaking.
I was also able to see sea turtles up close (two of them), which was very satisfying.
The staff were very entertaining, making it a fun tour.
Next time, I would like to join the morning plan.
とても素敵な経験でした。
綺麗な海に青い空、とても恵まれた天気だったと思います。
午後からの参加は時間的にも余裕があり、到着翌日にはちょうど良いプランでした。
ちょっと水位が高かったので「カネオヘ湾沖に浮かぶ白い砂浜」は経験できませんでしたが
それを差し引いても良かったです。この景色は感動的です。
ウミガメを近くで見ることも出来(しかも2頭)こちらも大満足。
スタッフの方も大変面白くて楽しいツアーでした。
次回は午前のプランに参加してみたいですね。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The beauty of this scenery is truly indescribable, isn't it? No matter how many times you go, it never gets old! 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。この景色は何とも言えない美しさですよね。何度行っても飽きません!!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。
My wife and child participated. The interaction time with the dolphins was longer than I expected, and both of them were very satisfied. I would like to participate again!
子供と妻が参加しました。
思ってた以上に、イルカとの触れ合い時間が長く、
二人とも大満足でした。
また、参加したいと思います!!
I was hoping there would be a bit more road, but it was so beautiful that I was moved! I was surprised that the turtles came close enough to touch. The staff were all cheerful, which made it a fun and wonderful experience✨ However, there were too few paddleboards, so I didn't get a turn... I wanted to do it... lol
I would love to use this service again when I come back to Hawaii!
もう少し道が出来るのかと期待していましたが
全然綺麗だったので感動でした!
まさかの亀も触れるくらいの距離まで来てくれて
スタッフさんも明るい方ばかりで楽しく最高でした✨
ただ、サップの数が少なく回ってこなかった。。
したかった。。。笑
またHawaiiに来た時にも利用したいです
Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. I'm really sorry that you couldn't experience SUP!
アロハ〜!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
SUP体験出来なくて本当にごめんなさいっ
My Lei greeter was absolutely wonderful. Very kind and knowledgeable. My shuttle was running late & she stayed with me until it arrived.
This was my 17th time to Hawaii and in previous years I used a previous Lei Greeting Company & an elderly man was my Lei greeter. He was so rude I had to change companies. I'm very pleased with this company and I highly recommend them. I recommend them to all my friends who visit Oahu.
Aloha Cynthia!
We are very pleased to have your positive review! I remember your situation from before, and it was very odd because our only elderly man is such a wonder and does not know anything but Aloha. Regardless, your greeter, Jhannadette, is always such a fun woman to work with. Her "spunk" is what makes airport greetings in Honolulu such fun, and I am glad you were able to experience it this time around. We hope to have the opportunity again to serve you in the future!
Mahalo!

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the water level was higher due to the rain, and the visibility was a bit poor. Still, the sea was very beautiful, and the guide was interesting, and the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it! If the weather had been good, it would have been truly amazing!
Also, I brought my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, but I regretted not bringing small floaties for them. (It's dangerous if you don't hold them securely to prevent them from drifting away.) There were life jackets for kids, but they were too big for my 1-year-old, so I had to hold him, and my 3-year-old was cold, so we couldn't stay in the water for long. It was a bit challenging to hold both of them.
期待して行ったのですが、残念なことに雨が降った後のため水かさも増していたのと、透明度が少し悪かったです。ただ、それでもとてもキレイな海だったし、ガイドさんも面白くスタッフさんたちも感じが良かったので、楽しめました!
天気が良ければ本当に最高だったのに!
あと、1歳と3歳の子供を連れて行ったのですが、小さな子供用の浮き輪が無いため、持参していけば良かったと後悔してます。(流されないために、しっかり押さえておかないと危ないですが)
ライフジャケットも子供用はありましたが、1歳児には大きくつけられないので、抱っこしたままで、3歳も寒かったため、ずっと海に入って居られず、2人抱っこして居たので、少し大変でした。
It depends on the day, but the boat swayed quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking anti-nausea medication is a must! There were only two groups of Japanese participants, but it was helpful that they provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones. We were able to see a lot of dolphins from the boat, and they were adorable as they jumped and swam parallel to the boat. Surprisingly, we even saw whales despite the season! The water was clear, and we swam with many fish, losing track of time. The meals were served buffet-style, but the food didn't meet my expectations. On the way back, there isn't much time to change, so I think it's best to wear clothes that are easy to change into. Overall, I am satisfied!
日によるでしょうが船が結構揺れたため酔いやすい方は酔い止め必須です!
参加者で日本人は二組だけでしたが、英語の後に日本語でも説明してくれたので助かりました。
イルカは船の上からですがたくさん見られて満足!!ジャンプしたり船と平行して泳いだり可愛かったです。なんとこの日はこの時期にも関わらずクジラも見えました。
海も透き通っていてたくさんの魚と時間を忘れるほど泳ぎました。
食事はブッフェ形式でしたが食事に関しては期待するほどの物は出てきませんでした。
帰りは着替える間もないので、ササッと着替えられる服で行くのが良いと思います。
総合的に満足です!
Beautiful lei and a great way to be welcomed to Hawaii. The lady was lovely and gave us some information and took our picture. Recommended and will use services again.
Aloha Linda, thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience. The greeter will be so happy to hear about it and we are all very honored to have met you that morning! We hope to see you again some day soon! Mahalo!
Beautiful lei and a great way to be welcomed to Hawaii. The lady was lovely and gave us some information and took our picture. Recommended and will use services again.
Aloha Linda!
Thank you for that wonderful review! It was such a thrill because your greeter, Mary, made the lei for you and Steve to perfection! We hope we can serve you again on your next Hawaiian expedition!
Mahalo!

A wonderful trip with great views and the sandbar is spectacular. The crew were great, and Jenner was especially great and super friendly and entertaining. Our captain was also friendly and took some great pictures of us on the boat. Highly recommended and will do again when in Honolulu.
A really great evening with a wonderful sunset and great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Crew were excellent and fun. Would definitely recommend and will be doing again when in Honolulu
I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles properly. The staff's enthusiasm was also wonderful. I'm glad I participated.
イルカ、海ガメにちゃんと会えました。
スタッフの盛り上げも素晴らしいかったですよ
参加して良かったです。
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin University! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the entire tour! We look forward to your next visit. MAHALO♪
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただきありがとうございました!ツアー全体を通じてお楽しみ頂けたようで何よりです!またのご参加をお待ちしております、MAHALO♪
Due to the traffic from the parade, my name wasn't called at the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. However, everything turned out fine. Since this is also a meeting point for various tours, I think the guides should be more mindful when calling names. The cruise guide was cheerful and had interesting stories. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious! There are also restrooms, so no worries there. We visited several spots where we could see sea turtles, and I was able to see them about twice, but it was just for a moment, so I had to really focus. The sea is beautiful and shallow. When moving from the boat to the sandbar, it gets a bit deep, but you can borrow life jackets, so there’s no need to worry, even for children. They also take you to deeper spots for snorkeling. On the way back, you'll be getting on the bus while still wet, so it's better to prepare a simple change of clothes or bring extra towels. I'm glad I participated.
パレードによる渋滞のためか、集合時間になってもなかなか名前が呼ばれず、ドキドキしました。が、大丈夫でした。ただ、各種ツアーの集合場所でもあるので、ガイドの方が名前を呼ぶのは意識された方がよいかと思います。クルーズガイドの方は明るく話が面白かったです。ハンバーガーもビックリおいしかった!トイレもあり、心配ありません。ウミガメが見えるスポットを複数回ってくれるので、2回ほど見ることができました、が一瞬だったりするので、目を凝らして見ました。海はきれいで遠浅です。船からサンドバーに移動する際、少し深いですが、ライフジャケットを借りられるので、子供でも心配ありませんでした。シュノーケリングに深い場所にも連れて行ってくれます。帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、簡単な着替えかタオル多めに用意した方がベターです。参加してよかったです。
Don't miss the helicopter tour, its something you will never forget
I was able to see a lot of dolphins! The staff were all friendly and nice. I could see turtles while snorkeling, but not many fish.
たくさんのイルカが見れました!
スタッフの方もみんな気さくで良い方ばかりでした
シュノーケリングは亀は見れるのですが、あまり魚は見れなかったです
I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.
とても楽しい1日を過ごせました!
まずガイドのお姉さんが最高に楽しい!明るくて周りをしっかり見てくれている方でした。
当日、日本人だけの船には乗らず、インターナショナルな船に乗船。結果、少人数になり良かったと思います。お昼のBBQもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。
