Oahu
This is my eighth trip to Hawaii, but this was my first time using this service. I signed up thinking it would be a light sailing experience, but it was even more enjoyable than I imagined. First, we went out to sea with the engine, and after turning it off, we raised the yacht's canopy and sailed using only the wind. It was surprisingly fast and refreshing. The original cocktail made by the staff was also quite delicious. My colleague who joined me was thrilled, and it has become a tour we will definitely repeat. If I go again next year, I would love to participate.
ハワイ旅行は8回目ですが、今回初めて利用させてもらいました。軽いセーリング気分で申し込んだのですが、想像以上に楽しめました。まずエンジン駆動で沖まで出て、エンジンを切ったあとヨットの幌を上げて風のみで航行するのですが、思った以上にスピード感もあり、爽快です。スタッフさんが作ってくれたオリジナルカクテルも中々おいしかったです。一緒に参加した同僚も感激しており、リピート確定ツアーになりました。また来年行くことがあれば、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.
Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.
After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)
The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。
それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。
濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です!(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)
ボートの上で食べるハンバーガーは美味しかったです!
I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.
But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.
Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.
添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。
そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。
まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit and that you were able to enjoy watching the sea turtles.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar that you mentioned, as indicated on the tour page, please understand that due to the tides, there may be times when the sand beach is not visible. However, we can imagine that you were disappointed not to see the sandbar with the sand exposed above the water as you had hoped.
Additionally, please note that you will need to move through the water from the boat's docking position to the sandbar, so we kindly ask that you wear a swimsuit in advance.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日は天気もよく、ウミガメをご鑑賞いただけたようで嬉しく思います。
ご指摘いただいておりますサンドバーの水位につきましては、ツアーページ上でご案内させていただいております通り、潮の満ち引きの関係上、砂浜が見えない場合もございますことご理解いただけますと幸いです。しかしながら、ご期待のそった水面から砂地がでているサンドバーをご覧いただくことができず、残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
また、船の停泊位置からサンドバーまでは水の中を移動していただきますので、事前に水着の着用をお願いしておりますことご了承ください。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

I signed up because it wasn't too early in the morning.
I was disappointed that I could only see the sea turtles for a moment.
Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was fun.
The hamburger was delicious.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation.
I wanted to know that it's easier to swim using fins rather than treading water in deeper areas, and that you should get back on the boat facing backward.
The water was about thigh-deep, but I was satisfied to have gone to the sandbar.
朝が早すぎないので申込しました。
海ガメが一瞬しか見れなかったのが残念でした。
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルをしたのが初めてだったので、説明は丁寧にしてもらいたかったです。
深い所では立泳ぎより足ヒレを使って泳いでた方が楽とか船に上がる時は後ろ向きからとか説明して欲しかったです。
太股くらいまで水がありましたが、サンドバーに行けて満足でした。
The explanation was very clear, and I was able to participate enjoyably. It's essential to have wet gear when the weather isn't good, so I was glad that it was provided. I was also moved by the sea turtles, pufferfish, and rays.
とてもわかりやすい説明で楽しく参加できました。天気が良くないときはウェット必須ですね、準備されていたのでよかったです。ウミガメやフグ、エイなど感動もありました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed encountering various marine life in Paradise Ocean. Please come back and visit us again! We look forward to seeing you!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
天国の海で様々な生物との出会いを楽しんで頂けたようで良かったです。また是非遊びに来て下さいね。お待ちしてます!
He had been to Oahu three times before and never got a lei. You should've seen his eyes light up when he saw his name in big letters being held up by the nice person ! Success! Thank you !
Third time is the charm! Mahalo for the wonderful review!!
The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable. However, the weather was not great; it was overcast, and the sea water was cold, which was completely different from the blue sky I had imagined, so I was very disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.
ピックアップは時間通り、バスの運転も問題なく、ガイドさんはとても面白く、好感が持て良かった。
ただ、お天気が今一で、ドンヨリしていて、海の水は冷たくて、想像していた青い空晴れ渡る空のもととは全然違うものだったので、とても残念だった。時期にもよるのかなぁ?と思いますが、その辺も書いて頂けると参考に出来ると思いました。
Two people in their 60s, two in their 30s, an 18-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 2-year-old participated. The crew and the hamburgers on board were very delicious, which was great, but they mentioned that the sandbar area is close to the mountains and there aren't many sunny days. It was very cold. When getting off the boat to the sandbar, you have to go into the water up to about your waist. My 18-year-old eldest son and my husband had fun participating in the sandbar activities, but they did not join the snorkeling. About half of the participants did not join. Those who did were shivering. If you bring plenty of warm clothing and think about staying warm, you can enjoy it. I thought it would be the same as the sandbars in Okinawa, so I only prepared for heatstroke. It was the complete opposite.
60代2人30代2人18歳7歳2歳で参加。乗務員さんや、船上のハンバーガーはとっても美味しくて良かったですが、サンドバー付近は、山間の近くにあって、なかなか晴れる日がないとの事。とっても寒いです。船からサンドバーに降りるときは、へそ下ぐらいまで海に入らないとだめです。18歳の長男と旦那は楽しく、サンドバーバレーに参加してましたが、シュノーケリングは,不参加。半分ぐらいの方不参加でした。入った人は、がくがく震えてました。着替えなどたくさん持って防寒を考えていくと入れます。私は、沖縄のサンドバーと同じだと思っていたので、熱中症対策ばかりで。真逆でした。
This is my second time participating.
The contrast between the sky, the sea, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
I was able to see many sea turtles as well.
2回目の参加です。
とにかく、空と海と周囲の景色とのコントラストが綺麗です。
ウミガメとも沢山会えました。
Every member of the staff is polite. They're aim is that guest have an exciting, fun, safe time. It is all very entertaining and educational. The Atlantis experience is highly recommended .
I participated in three activities: a movie location tour for about 1.5 hours, a jungle tour for about 1.5 hours, and a cruise. While I thought the jungle tour was somewhat lacking in the jungle experience, we did climb Triangle Mountain by jeep during the movie location tour, and at the end, we walked up a mountain path of about 10 meters. We could stop the car along the way to enjoy the scenery, but the view after the hike was truly beautiful. Since it was cloudy that day, I felt it was better to do the cruise for about 1.5 hours instead of spending three hours playing at Secret Island. We left Kualoa Ranch at 2:30 PM and were back at the hotel by 4 PM. Although it was an early morning, I think it was a recommended tour.
映画ロケ地めぐり約1.5時間、ジャングルツアー約1.5時間、クルーズの3種類に参加しました。ジャングルツアーはジャングルとは言えずそこそこかな〜とは思いますが、映画ロケ地めぐりで見た三角山にジープで登り、最後は10m位の山道を徒歩で登りました。途中でも車を止めて景色を見れますが、ブチハイキングの後に見た景色はとても美しかったです。当日は曇っていたのでシークレットアイランドで遊ぶ3時間よりクルーズ約1.5時間にしてよかったと思いました。
14:30にクアロア牧場を出て、16時にはホテルにいました。朝は早いけどオススメツアーだと思いまさした。
OK. Nothing special. It's as advertised. I would recommend it.
Had a great time! Really fun people and a really funny and exciting show. Had a great time and delicious food and so many exciting activities and souvenirs. Everyone there is pleasant and it's worth the deals they have online!!
I have been to a number of Luau's on Oahu and this one is by far the best, mostly due to the brilliant 'Chief' who will keep you laughing throughout the evening. The food is excellent, the Hawaiian dancing is magical, the fire dance is spectacular, the whole evening is just total enjoyment from beginning to end. A show not to be missed.
We had a bit of anxiety as adults, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues! With the day pass and shuttle plan, I was worried about lunch, but for just under $10, there were hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. We ordered the hamburger combo, and it was delicious! I'm glad we didn't choose a plan that included lunch. We'll definitely come back when we visit Hawaii again!
大人二人にちょっと不安がありましたが全く問題なく遊べました☆
1日パスと送迎のプランでお昼が心配でしたが10$弱でハンバーガーやホットドッグ、ピザがあり私達はハンバーガーのコンボを注文。美味しい~♪昼食が付くプランにしなくて良かったと思いました(^^)
ハワイに来たらまた来ます♪
This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.
We went on our honeymoon, and it became a very enjoyable memory. The captain kept the atmosphere lively throughout the shuttle bus ride, and we had a great time playing volleyball in the shallow waters and enjoying handmade hamburgers from the crew.
Snorkeling at the coral reef allowed us to swim closely with sea turtles and interact with colorful fish.
However, the weather was bad that day, and the strong winds made it quite cold, which was disappointing as we couldn't see many sea turtles.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back!
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
送迎バスよりキャプテンが終始盛り上げてくれ、浅瀬でのバレーボールやクルーの方の手作りハンバーガーなど、楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。
珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは、ウミガメと間近で泳げたり、色とりどりの魚達と触れ合うことができました。
ただ、当日の天気が悪く風も強かったため、ウミガメがあまり見れず、何よりも寒かったのが残念でした…。
またハワイに行く機会があったら、是非もう一度行きたいです!
I was excited to see the morning whales and set out. It was drizzling a bit, but I boarded the ship. First, we had a morning brunch (buffet), which felt a little lacking. When we arrived along the coast of Diamond Head, I got my camera ready and waited. However, unfortunately, the boat returned. They said they would give us a free ticket to try again during the period, but I can't stay in Hawaii that long. I'll try again next year!
朝鯨がみれるとワクワクでかけました
小雨ぱらついていましたがいざ乗船
最初にモーニングランチ(バイキング)少し物足りない感じ
ダイアモンドヘッド沿岸に到着いざカメラを構え待機
でもあられず(; ;)ホロホロ船は戻りました
期間中の再挑戦無料チケットをくばりますといわれましたが
そんなにハワイにいれない
来年再度挑戦(*^o^*)
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to observe any whales this time.
We look forward to seeing you again next season!
Regarding your comments about the meal, I will translate them into English and forward them to the manager in charge to help improve future cruises.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

It's a very enjoyable plan if you're with someone. However, I've heard that the sand mountain only appears 2-3 days a year. But the freshly grilled hamburgers were delicious, and it became a great memory.
連れと一緒ならとても楽しいプランです。
ただ、ほんとに砂山が出現は年に2-3日とのこと。
でもハンバーガー焼きたてでおいしいし良い思い出になりました。
In Hawaii, you might wonder about the pool, but there are attractions like slides that you can't find in Japan, and they were so much fun! I tried them about twice each, haha! I think it's great for those who love attractions!
Also, I took a 30-minute nap on a lounge chair in front of the wave pool, which felt wonderful and made me feel like I was relaxing on the beach. I believe everyone—friends, couples, and families—can enjoy it!
Additionally, the atmosphere and the color of the pool felt different from Japan, giving me a sense of being in a resort, which was very pleasant! Even though it was Golden Week, it wasn't crowded like in Japan, and the wait time was only about five minutes, so everything went smoothly.
Above all, the lifeguards were kind and greeted us with lovely smiles, making it a very comfortable experience. The warmth and smiles of the people in Hawaii are truly wonderful!
The only downside was that some attractions were not operational. I heard there are similar pools in other countries, so if I get the chance, I would definitely like to visit them!
ハワイで、プール?と思うかも知れませんが、日本にはないアトラクションのようなスライダーがあり、とても楽しかったです!だいたい、2回ずつほどチャレンジしました笑!アトラクションが好きな方にはすごくよいと思います!
また、波のプールの前にあるシートで30分ほど、お昼寝をしたのも大変気持ちよく、ビーチでゆっくりしている気分でした。
友達、カップル、家族みんな楽しめると思います!
また、雰囲気やプールの色でしょうか、日本とは違い、リゾートに来たかのような感じでとても気持ちが良かったです!
また、ゴールデンウィークでしたが、日本のように混み合っているわけではなく、並ぶ時間も5分程度と長い待ち時間がないので、スムーズで良かったです。
なにより、監視のお兄さんお姉さんも優しくとても素敵な笑顔であいさつしてくれたりととても心地よく、楽しむことができました!やっぱりハワイの方はあったかくて、笑顔が素敵ですね!
残念だったのは、いくつか動いていないアトラクションがいくつかありました。
他の国にも同じ系列?のプールがあるようでしたので、機会があれば、ぜひ行ってみたいです!
Aloha Nayumi,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will include it in our internal report.
Currently, on days with no congestion, we are rotating attractions and only have English signs, so we will place Japanese signs as well.
We look forward to your next visit.
アロハ Nayumi様、
貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。社内の報告看板にださせて頂きます。
只今、混雑がない日はアトラクションをローテイションさせて頂き英語のサインしかございませんので、日本語のサインをおかせて頂きます。
又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!
Our driver gave us history of the crater and tips about local spots as we traveled through the city. Very friendly. The hike was great. Very senic and not that taxing.
I was really looking forward to this tour because I had heard from a friend who participated that it was great.
On the bus ride from the meeting point to the West Coast, the staff energetically explained the climate of Hawaii and more. They also taught us the differences between mammals and fish in a fun quiz format, and when we encountered dolphins, they explained how to approach them without startling them, which heightened my anticipation even more.
Then, we set sail. When we spotted dolphins, we went closer by boat and swam near them under the guidance of the staff.
There were about 50 dolphins swimming together. We swam just below the surface, so we could see the dolphins swimming above us. I was moved by this first-time experience! And they were wild dolphins. It became an unforgettable moment.
On the way back, we enjoyed cheeseburgers and warm tea on the boat. Eating them while feeling the wind after swimming made them taste even better than usual.
In the end, all the crew members danced hula on the boat to wrap up the tour. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.
友人がこのツアーに参加し、とてもよかったときいていたので、とても楽しみにしていました。
集合場所から西海岸までの行きのバスの中、元気いっぱいにスタッフさんがハワイについての気候等の説明もしてくれました。
その他、哺乳類と魚類の違いをクイズ形式でわかりやすく教えてもらったり、イルカに遭遇した時にイルカが驚かないポイントの説明を受け、 一層期待が湧きました。
そして、出港。イルカを見つけると船で近くまで行き、スタッフさんの誘導でイルカの近くまで泳ぎました。
イルカが50匹ほど群れをつくっていました。イルカの群れよりも海面に近いところを私たちは泳いでいたので、イルカの群れが泳いでいるのを上から見ました。
この初めての体験に感動しました!
しかも野生のイルカです。一生忘れない感動になりました。
帰りの船の中でチーズバーガー、温かいお茶を頂きました。
泳いだ後に船の上で風にあたりながら頂いたので、いつもより格別に美味しかったです。
最後はクルー全員で船の上でフラを踊って終わりました。
とてもいい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
ALOHA!! Thank you very much for participating this time. We are very happy that Dolphin University could contribute to your memories in Hawaii. We hope you will choose Dolphin Middle School and University again when you visit next time. We look forward to having you along with the friends you recommended! MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はご参加頂きありがとうございました。 ハワイでの思い出作りにイルカ大学が貢献でき、とても嬉しく思います。 次回お越しになった際も是非、イルカ中学・大学を選んでいただけたらと思います。 次回はおすすめしてくださったご友人とも一緒に! MAHALO!!
thank u so much. captain & staff. so nice & fun.
everything was good except bad weather (windy rain).
The transportation was smooth, and despite the strong winds, the boat didn't sway much, which was great. However, unfortunately, we weren't able to see any whales.
送迎もスムーズで船も風が強かったにも関わらずあまり揺れることなく良かったです。ただ、残念ながらクジラを見ることが出来きませんでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales this time.
Please come back to search for whales again.

I participated in the tour at the movie village and the secret beach. The movie village was very good, but the secret beach felt like being under a tent due to heavy rain, and when I finally thought the bus would come to pick us up, it took a long time to arrive, leaving me with a negative impression. I understand that the weather was a factor, but what I found disappointing was that I left something on the return bus, and when I inquired about it, I didn't receive proper assistance. They said they would check and get back to me, but I never heard from them. I know it's my fault for leaving something behind overseas, but I felt the response was quite poor. It's disappointing.
ツアー自体は、映画村とシークレットビーチに参加しました。 映画村はとても良かったのですが、シークレットビーチは大雨でほとんどテントの下にいるような感じで、やっと帰れると思ったらなかなかバスが迎えに来なく良い印象がありません。天気の問題もあったのでしょうがないのですが、私が残念だと感じたのが、帰りのバスに忘れ物をしてしまい問い合わせたところまともに対応してもらえず確認して折り返すと言って連絡がなかったこと。
海外で忘れ物をしたこちらが悪いのですが、あまりにも対応が酷いように感じました。残念です。
We apologize that you were unable to enjoy your experience due to the unfortunate weather. Which department did you contact regarding your lost item? We always confirm with the bus company about lost items and will reach out to you. We appreciate your understanding, and if you had contacted us, it would be helpful to know which staff member assisted you for our service improvement.

I was able to see dolphins up close. I had my photo taken, but there were people who had many photos for the same price and others who did not, so it would be nice if that could be improved. I thought the staff were cheerful and kind, which made it enjoyable.
イルカを近くで見ることができました。
写真を撮って頂きましたが、同じ金額で沢山写ってる人と、そうでない人といるし、他の人の写真ばかりのUSBを買っても、ちょっと困りますのでその辺は改善していただきたいと思います。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で親切で楽しめたと思います。
I went in April, and it was cold. It feels even colder with the wind, so wearing a wetsuit makes it more enjoyable. Be careful with rash guards, as they can make you feel even colder when the wind blows. The water is clear, and there are fish and turtles, so I think girls and children would like it. If you have a waterproof camera, you can take pictures. Non-waterproof cameras are not allowed because they could get damaged.
4月に行きましたが寒いです。風があると尚更寒いのでウェット来たほうが楽しめます。ラッシュガードは風が吹くと余計寒いので注意が必要です。水が綺麗で魚や亀がいますので女の子や子供は好きと思います。
カメラは防水なら撮って貰えます。非防水は壊す危険があるとかで撮ってもらえません。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I hope your wife had a great time, and it must have boosted your reputation as a husband! Please come back and visit us again. Mahalo!

It was my first experience in my life, and I was very impressed. The staff's explanations were also very interesting and easy to understand. I thought the beach would be exposed due to the tide, but on May 5th, it was only up to my knees, which was a bit disappointing.
生まれて初めての体験、感激しました。スタッフの説明も大変面白く、解りやすい感じでした。
潮の引き具合で、砂浜が出ていると思ってましたので、5月5日はひざ下ぐらいまでだったので少し残念でした。
It was a very fulfilling tour that lasted only in the morning. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and felt like a different world. Since we could return to Waikiki by lunchtime, we were able to make good use of our time. It's okay to get on the bus in wet clothes, but it was still cold. I wish I had changed in the restroom before getting on.
午前中のみで、とても中身の濃いツアーでした。
サンドバーはとてもキレイで別世界。
お昼にはワイキキに帰れるので時間も有効に使えます。
帰りのバスは濡れた服のままでもオッケーですがやはり寒い。乗る前にトイレで着替えたら良かったなと、思いました。
