Oahu
We were blessed with great weather on the day of our trip, and we encountered many dolphins right after setting sail! I was also very satisfied to see a turtle. While snorkeling, those who wished could also experience sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, so it's recommended for those who want to try a little bit of marine sports without having to sign up specifically for them. A photographer accompanied us, so we could purchase photo data, allowing us to capture memories even without a waterproof camera. It was a very enjoyable time in a friendly atmosphere!
当日はお天気にも恵まれ、
出航してすぐにたくさんのイルカに出会えました!
ホヌにも会えて大満足♡
シュノーケルをしながら、
希望者はシーカヤックやSAPも体験できるので、
わざわざマリンスポーツとして申し込みをしなくても、ちょっとした体験をしてみたい方にもオススメです。
カメラマンさんが同行しているので、写真のデータも購入出来、防水カメラを持っていなくても、思い出が残せます。
和気あいあいとした雰囲気で、とても楽しい時間でした✩
ALOHA! Dear fianceri,

The helicopter ride was amazing! Absolutely unbelievable and breathtaking. The motorcoach bus tour was a bit longer than we expected it to be plus you can only see so much volcanic rock in one sitting before you feel like you've seen it all. But the views were unforgettable. The guides for both the helicopter and bus tour were informative, knowledgeable and made the trip fun. I highly recommend it!!
The experience was enjoyable, but the Sea Life Park plan was more reasonably priced locally. My request for the lowest price guarantee was denied.
体験は楽しいですが、シーライフパークのプランは現地のほうが良心的でした。最低価格保証を申請しても却下されてしまいました。
I was very satisfied with the transportation, crew, and tour content. The crew was polite and helped us when we were in trouble. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to take lots of photos and practice snorkeling. The boat hardly rocked, and I didn't feel seasick.
The handmade hamburger for lunch was delicious! The only regret I have is that my shoulders got really sunburned, possibly because the sunscreen was too thin (laughs). This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!
送迎、乗組員、ツアー内容ともに大満足です。
乗組員も丁寧で、困っていると助けてくれたり、
サンドバーでの時間もたっぷりあり、写真をたくさんとったり、シュノーケルの練習をしたりできました。
船もほとんど揺れず、酔いはありませんでした。
お昼のハンバーガーが手作りで、お肉が美味しかったです‼
日焼け止めが薄かったのか、肩がめちゃくちゃ焼けたことだけが後悔です(笑)
またハワイにいったら参加したいツアーです‼
The sandbar, as seen in photos, is only accessible during low tide, so I checked the dates and times when it goes below 0m on the website and participated accordingly. Since low tide was around 8:00 AM, the sandbar was not visible when I arrived. It was cloudy, which reduced the beauty of the sea, but it gradually cleared up, and by the time we left the sandbar, it looked beautiful. I didn't participate in snorkeling, so I borrowed a float and a surfboard to have some fun. For those who didn't participate in snorkeling, we were taken on a small boat to see sea turtles. The ride felt like being on a speedboat and was very enjoyable.
写真で見るようなサンドバーは干潮時のみのため、サイトで干潮時に0m以下になる日にちと時間を調べて参加しました。干潮時間はAM 8:00頃のため到着するとサンドバーは出ていませんでした。曇りだっため、海の綺麗さは半減していましたが、途中から少しづつ晴れてサンドバーを離れる頃には綺麗に見えました。シュノーケリングに参加にしなかったため、浮き輪やサーフボードを借りて遊びました。シュノーケリングに参加しなかった人限定で、小型ボートでウミガメを見に連れて行って貰えました。道中はスピードボートに乗ってるようでとても楽しかったです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It was a bit cloudy, wasn't it? Please come back to visit us again. I hope the sun will be shining bright next time!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
ちょっぴり曇り空だったんですね。またぜひ遊びにいらして下さい。その時はお日様全開☀になりますように!
This is a place I always visit when I come to Hawaii. The appeal is that you can ride the slides without having to wait in line like you do in Japan. When I visited after a long time, I found that the locker system had changed. It had switched to a system where you specify the locker number and make a payment through a machine. I couldn't operate it well and gave up for a moment. To my surprise, the credit payment had already gone through, and I received a paper for the completed locker operation from a family that was next in line. If it weren't for their kindness, I would have only made the payment. On the way back, I also struggled to press the button to end the locker usage.
ハワイに来ると必ず行く場所です。
日本のようにほぼ並ばずスライダーに乗れることが魅力です。
久しぶりに訪れるとロッカーのシステムが
変わっていました。
機械でロッカーの番号を指定して支払いをするシステムに変わっていました。
うまく操作できず諦めて一旦操作を辞めました。
まさかのクレジット決済が完了していたため
次に並んでいた家族から操作完了済み指定ロッカーの紙を頂きました。
親切な方がいなければ、支払のみするところでした。帰りもロッカーの使用終了ボタンが押せず苦労しました。
This was a great way to actually *SEE* Oahu. Our tour guide Alex was and excellent driver and guide. We loved it.
I didn't have high expectations, so it was about what I expected. It was written that there would be almost no waiting time, but I ended up waiting for an hour for some things. It started late and ended early. However, the kids seemed satisfied.
期待はしていなかったのでそんなもんです。
待ち時間がほとんどないと書いてありましたが、1時間待たされたものもありました。始まるのも遅く、終わるのも早い。でも子供は満足していたようです。
I didn't have high expectations, so it was about what I expected. It's not as impressive as Nagashima Spa Land. I guess it's better than doing nothing.
大きな期待はしていなかったので、そんなもんです。ナガシマスパーランドよりはたいしたことないです。何もしないよりはましかなと。
This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.
The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.
We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.
It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.
初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。
サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。
移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。
移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^
I joined the tour because it was advertised as a Japanese-language tour, but the guide's Japanese was quite poor.
Also, depending on your seat, you might not be able to see the fish. It seems that the other side had colorful fish, but on the side I was sitting, I could only see a few horse mackerel and black fish.
Additionally, it was a plan that promised a diving certificate, but I ended up receiving nothing, and the treatment was the same as the regular plan.
I felt quite disappointed given my expectations, so I won't be participating again.
10時は日本語のツアーと書いてあったので参加しましたが、ガイドの日本語がかなり酷いです。
また、席側によって魚が見れない場合があります。
反対側はカラフルな魚がみれていたみたいですが、私が座った側はアジや黒い魚がちょこっと見れただけでした。
また、潜水証明書が貰えるプランでしたが何も貰う事なく終わり、扱いも通常のプランと同じでした。
期待していた分かなり残念な気持ちになったので、もう参加する事は無いです。
I had a great time and the hours flew by. I almost wanted to stay until 4 PM. I felt it was a shame that the water slides were down and the wait times were long.
とても楽しくて時間がすぐに過ぎました。16時ギリギリまでいたかったくらいです。
ウォータースライダーが止まっていたり待ち時間が長かったりしたのがもったいなかったと思います。
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to encounter any whales. Since it was towards the end of the season, I think it's understandable.
Also, the large boat swayed quite a bit. I think motion sickness medication is definitely needed.
Next time, I hope to visit Hawaii during a better season and try again! For those who love boats, just being on board can be quite enjoyable, and since it's a half-day course, you can make good use of your time, so I recommend it!
残念ながら、クジラに出会うことができませんでした。シーズン最後ぐらいだったのでしようがないかなと思っています。
あと、大型の船ですが、結構ゆれました。酔い止めは結構必要かなと思います。
今度はもう少しよいシーズンにハワイに行けれた、また再度チャレンジをしたいと思います!
船が好きな人は、乗ってるだけでも結構楽しめますし、半日コースなので時間も有効活用できますので、おすすめです!
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to observe any whales this time. Please do come back and try again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

I went on a Saturday in late March. The bus arrived 30 minutes late, but they delayed the departure time for the return bus by 15 minutes, which I appreciated. It was unfortunate that the water slide was closed for about half the day. As a result, we had to wait around 30 minutes for the slides that were open. The cabana is expensive, but I think it's worth it since it can serve as a changing room and comes with a float. A dedicated staff member also brings lunch for you. The time spent there felt very short, so I think it's best to have a light lunch. Compared to Japan's Summerland and the Toshimaen pool, it was less crowded, making it a good tour for families with small children.
3月下旬の土曜日に行ってきました。行きはバスの現地到着が30分遅れましたか帰りのバスの出発時間を15分遅らせてくれて、誠意を感じました。ウォータースライダーは 半分位 一日中クローズだったのは残念でした。結果、オープンしているスライダーが混んで30分くらい待ちました。カバナは高いですが、更衣室代わりになるのと、浮き輪が付いてくるので、よいと思います。昼食も専属の係の人が買ってきてくれます。 滞在時間はとても短く感じるので、昼食は軽く済ませるのが正解だと思いましした。 日本のサマーランド、としまえんのプールよりは空いているので、小さいお子様がいる家族にはよいツアーだと思います。
This is my second time and I will still recommend it to my friends.
Saw the dolphins up close and it was fun.
Very safe and effortless.
There were various attractions, many of which are not found in Japan, and the day flew by! It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't bring in food and drinks, but other than that, I was very satisfied!
いろいろなアトラクションがありましたが、日本にないのもたくさんあって、1日があっという間でした!
飲食を持って入ることができないのが微妙でしたが、それ以外は大満足でした!
My 11-year-old grandson unexpectedly had fun playing volleyball in the sea. We started on the boat, but there was a beautiful shallow area in the ocean! Just seeing that made us exclaim in excitement, and then we could get down and play volleyball too! The staff were very attentive, providing thorough explanations and ensuring safety.
11才の孫が、思いがけなく海水に入りながらバレーボール出来、楽しかったと言ってました。船でスタートしたのに、海に綺麗な浅瀬が❗それだけでわぁーっと声が出たのに、降りられバレーボールまで❗説明も丁寧、そして安全面でも気をかけているスタッフの方々の対応も良かったです
We went with our spouse and our children, aged 7 and 5. The charter bus for pickup arrived on time. We went around to each designated location in a pickup format, but there was no wasted time, and we efficiently got on the highway. Before we knew it, we arrived while a local explanation DVD was playing inside the bus.
夫婦と子供・7歳と5歳、で行ってきました(^^)お迎えのチャーターバスは時間通りに来ました(^_^)各指定場所にピックアップ形式で周りますが、無駄なロスもなく効率良く高速に乗り車内にて現地の説明DVDが流れるなか、気付けば到着です(●´ω`●)
As soon as I arrived, it was raining, and I felt a bit chilly and anxious, but the staff were very kind, which made me feel at ease. I also found several turtles, making it a very fulfilling day.
着いたとたんに雨で、肌寒く不安でしたが、スタッフの方も、とても親切で安心して過ごせました。
亀も何匹もみつけて、とても充実した1日でした。
It was a beautifully sunny day, and the sea was incredibly clear—perfect for snorkeling! A great day for a tour!!!
We excitedly set off on the boat with the cheerful crew and the cool female captain!
I made sure to check the low tide times, so we were able to enjoy the shallow waters perfectly.
Around the shallow area, there was a sudden drop-off, and we all put on our life jackets and snorkeling masks to head out to the drop-off. Beyond the drop-off, the sea was really deep. But with life jackets on and the crew always keeping an eye on us, I felt safe.
Actually, when I went to the Maldives for my honeymoon, I was scared of the drop-off and regretted not going further. But here, I was able to get my revenge!!
Under the sea, it was a world of colorful fish!!!! In the clear, beautiful water with vibrant fish, it truly felt like paradise.
We went on the morning tour, but we could only enjoy breakfast (a light snack) around lunchtime (laughs).
The participation fee is a bit pricey, but both my child and I were very satisfied. The crew was incredibly cheerful and attentive, and they were kind to my child as well. My older child tends to get motion sickness, but they were fine!
I'm glad I participated.
その日はきれいに晴れた日で海もとてもきれいでまさにシュノーケリング日和!
ツアー日和!!!
陽気なクルーの皆さんとかっこいい女性キャプテンの船で張り切って出発!!
しっかり干潮の時間も調べて行ったので、ばっちり浅瀬が楽しめました。
浅瀬の周りは突然深くなるドロップオフがあり、ライフジャケットとシュノーケリングマスクを
つけてドロップオフの先へみんなで行きます。
ドロップオフの先は本当に深い海。でもライフジャケットもあるし、クルーの皆さんが常に以上がないか気を配ってくれているので安心です。
実は新婚旅行でモルディブへ行った時、ドロップオフの先が怖くて底から先へ進めずに
帰国してきたことを若干後悔していたのですが、ここでリベンジを果たすことができました!!
海の中はまあ~~~色とりどりの魚の世界!!!!
透き通ったきれいな海に鮮やかな魚、まさに天国の海です。
午前出発の部で行きましたが、朝食(軽食)が楽しめるのはほぼお昼の時間です(笑)
参加費が少し値が張りますが、私も子供もとても大満足でした。
クルーの皆さんもとにかく明るくてとっても気が利くし、子供にも親切にしていただけました。
上の子が乗り物酔いしやすいのですが、大丈夫でした!
参加してよかったです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It seems you enjoyed the tour with great weather. I'm glad to hear that your snorkeling revenge was a success! Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo!

Everything we hoped for and more. Check-in was fast and easy; they even have presc. Goggles. The staff (Capt Jenn and the two Nikki's) were helpful and provided excellent customer service. We saw dolphins, whales, and sea turtles.
Must do when in Oahu.
I had seen some reviews mentioning that sightings were not guaranteed, and since I made a last-minute reservation for April 4th, I was prepared for that possibility. However, quite early on, the captain announced, "We have spotted a whale at 3 o'clock!" There were about five or six directions given, and we could see the spouts! According to the naturalist's announcement, the whale was about 45 meters away from the boat. While we didn't see any flashy features like the tail fin, it has left me looking forward to next time.
I opted for no breakfast, but since those with and without meals are on the same floor, I think it's fine to skip it if you don't mind looking over at others. I believe breakfast only takes about 15 minutes, so it wasn't a big deal to go without it.
ここでの口コミで見えなかった…という声があり、また4/4というシーズンギリギリの予約だったため見られないことも想定していましたが、割と早い段階で「3時の方向に鯨を発見しました」と船長のアナウンス!!5.6回は方向の指示が出て、潮吹きが見えました!ナチュラリストの方のアナウンスによると45m位船から離れた位置に見えました。尾びれなどのハデな見え方はなかったですが、次回への期待にします。
朝食なしにしましたが、食事ありとなしの人が同じフロアなので、横目で見るのが平気であればなしで良いと思います。朝食を食べる時間は15分程度だと思いますのでまぁなくても良かったかなという感じです
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased that you participated the day before our final day of the season on April 5th and were able to observe whales. On certain days, you can witness the magnificent sight of whales jumping, so please come back to search for such whales again. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.

The Japanese staff were very helpful, and their explanations were really easy to understand. They even made jokes, which added some laughter to the tour, and I was very satisfied! However, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, which was different from what I had imagined. It's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it, but I was a little disappointed about that... Still, I had a great time! Next time, I want to join the tour when the tide is low!
日本人のスタッフさんもいて、説明もすごく分かりやすかった。ジョークとかも言いながらで笑いもありツアーは大満足です!
ただサンドバーが潮が満ちてて、イメージと違った。自然現象のだから仕方ないことだけど、そこだけちょっと残念だったな、、、
でもすごく楽しかったです(^^)今度は潮が満ちてない時を狙ってツアーに参加したいです(*´꒳`*)
This was a pleasant day, unfortunately the boat really didn't go far from the marina. The only fish we saw were bated by the crew. No whale or dolphin sightings. They fed us lunch at the end of the day nearly 3 a bit hard for kids and adults consuming alcohol. Nothing really bad however not a remarkable day considering the price.
We went as a family of five with our first grader, our kindergartner, and our one-year-old daughter.
Our kindergartner was really looking forward to this program because he loves animals. Before we left, I was a bit worried that he might get scared when he saw the dolphins up close or become shy, but not at all! He enjoyed it thoroughly without being scared, staying at just the right distance (he might have been nervous if he had to get into the pool).
I heard that some kids his age who participated in the same program were scared, and those kids only got to feed the dolphins three times. However, the little ones who were really excited got to feed them more than usual as a special treat.
My first grader joined a program where he could interact with the dolphins in the pool, but he found that the program for younger kids was much more satisfying! I definitely recommend that one!

I was really glad to be able to see the deep blue, incredibly beautiful sea. It was truly stunning. However, I couldn't see anything else at all. It was frustrating not to receive a reboarding ticket for when I couldn't see anything, regardless of whether I could go or not; it felt like the promises weren't being kept. Since one of my family members gets seasick, we opted for no meals, but the seating was mixed up between those who had meals and those who didn't. My little child was looking enviously at the people around us who were eating, and I felt a bit disheartened. I wish they could have at least separated the seating a little within the area...
深い青のすごくきれいな海に出られたことは良かったです。本当に綺麗でした。ひたすらそれだけで全く何も見れませんでしたが。見られなかった際の再乗船チケットもらえず、行ける行けないは別にして約束事を守ってもらえないのは不快です。船酔いしてしまう家族がいるので食事無しにしましたが、食事ありなしの人たちの席がごちゃ混ぜで、すぐ周りで食べている人たちをウチの小さい子供が羨ましそうに見ていて、あ~ぁと思いました。何となくフロアの中でも席を分けてくれればいいのに・・・
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time.
We do provide re-boarding tickets for those who do not see whales, which can be obtained on board or at the check-in office. We sincerely apologize that this information was not clearly communicated to you.
Regarding your comments about the seating, we will share your feedback internally and use it to improve future cruises.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.

So entertaining and full of interesting facts about the Polynesians and their surrounding cultures.
The dancing and singing was beautiful and the food was amazing.
The Chief was hilarious and really made our anniversary night extra special and gave me flowers!
If you're gonna go, spend the extra money and see the entire thing! We got to see everything, including our beloved USS Missouri!
We had a nice time on this cruise. Great way to see fireworks
The experience was so much more than we expected. Loved the humor of the bus guide, the staff at the luau and the Chief. Could not have asked for more fun under the stars with a beautiful scenic backdrop.
