Oahu
I could clearly see that the staff is committed to safe operations. If you're going to board, it might be better to choose a time in Japanese. I think discussions about fish names and history are better in Japanese than in English. It was interesting to see sea turtles, rays, and sharks under the sunken ship. Unlike an aquarium, you can truly enjoy the depth of the ocean.
安全運行をスタッフが心がけているのが良くわかりました。
搭乗するなら、日本語の時間帯が良いかも。魚の名前や歴史の話など英語よりも日本語がいいと思います。
ウミガメやエイ、沈没船の下にいる鮫など面白かったです。
水族館と違い、奥行きのある海の中が堪能できます。
We encountered a pod of dolphins as soon as we set out to sea, and we were also able to see sea turtles. The dancing on the boat and the captain's hamburgers were delicious. I really enjoyed the hula lesson too!
海に出てすぐにイルカの群れに出会えたし、ウミガメも見ることが出来ました。
船上でのダンスや、船長のハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
フラレッスンもとても楽しめました!
The pool was not good. I had heard that we would be using blue shirts as a marker, but it was an aloha shirt instead. The trip took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get there, and on the way back, even though we had enough people, the driver said one person was still missing, so we had to wait quite a bit and ended up departing 40 minutes late.
Most importantly, despite the plan including a BBQ for lunch, the bento was not something that Japanese people could eat comfortably. For our family of four, it was a terrible experience. The pool was in a state of being reserved for local surfers for hours, and we couldn't get in. That should be something the staff pays attention to.
Unless improvements are made, I cannot recommend this to friends who are going to Hawaii.
プールはダメでした。そもそも青いシャツを目印にと聞いていましたがアロハシャツだったし、行きは1時間40分帰りは人数がそろってるにも関わらずもう一人来てないと運転手さんが言い、かなり待って集合時間より40分遅れの出発でした。何よりも昼食BBQ込みのプランにも関わらず弁当で日本人はとても食べれるような中身ではありませんでした。
私たち家族4人にとっては散々な一のプールは地元のサーファーの何時間もの貸切状態で私たちは入れませんでした。あれは係員が注意すべきです。
改善がない限りハワイに行く友人とかにはお勧めは出来ません。
I had been many dinner cruises in Chicago, Portland and New Orleans, But this was the best one !!! so far.
First time & confused couples must try this !!
I think it might have been because it was November, but the weather was cloudy and, simply put, very cold. I participated in snorkeling while shivering, but the sea was murky and not beautiful at all. The water level was about waist-high, and there was certainly no sandbar.
Also, we formed a pretty tight group while snorkeling, so it was common to get kicked by others' fins...
I was honestly disappointed because I was expecting the images to reflect a different experience.
I think it's better for those participating to consider the timing of their visit.
11月ということもあったかとは思いますが、お天気も曇りでとにかく寒かったの一言です。
シュノーケリングも震えながら参加しましたが、海も濁っていてきれいとは言えませんでした。水位は腰上くらいで、サンドバーはもちろんありません。
また、集団でかなり固まった状態で列をなしてシュノーケリングをするので他人のバタ足がぶつかることもしばしば…
画像の感じを期待していたので正直がっかりでした。
参加される方は時期を考えて参加されたほうがよいかと思います。
There are many water slides that you won't find in Japan, and it's not just fun for kids—adults can enjoy it even more! It was a great water park. The recommended slides are "Island Racer" and "Shaka."
Since our hotel (Hilton Hawaiian Village) was the first pick-up, we ended up riding for about an hour just for the shuttle to other hotels, which was a bit tiring. (However, we were the first to get dropped off on the way back, so maybe it was fair?)
After the pick-ups at each hotel, we arrived at Wet 'n' Wild in less than an hour! The park was not crowded, possibly because it was a weekday. We arrived right at opening time at 10:30, so we were able to enjoy the morning with almost no wait time after storing our belongings in a locker. However, as others have mentioned, there are some slides that aren't operating in 30-minute intervals (which is a bit vague), so it's better to go with that in mind to enjoy it more. Also, I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen thoroughly.
I was worried about what to do with my valuables and belongings, but the locker I rented (large) was spacious enough, which was reassuring. The staff at the reception spoke Japanese.
I had so much fun that I experienced muscle pain the next day (for some reason in my arms), so I recommend going if you want to play hard during the latter part of your trip.
日本では見たことのないウォータースライダーがたくさんあり、子供だけではなく、むしろ大人こそ楽しい!?ウォーターパークでした。
お勧めスライダーは「アイランドレーサー」と「シャカ」です。
私達の宿泊していたホテル(ヒルトン・ハワイアン・ビレッジ)へのピックアップが一番だったため、その後各ホテルへの送迎だけで1時間程乗っており、少々疲れました。(しかし帰りは一番最初の降車だったため、まぁ平等なのかも?)
各ホテルへのピックアップが終わると、1時間足らずでウェット・アンド・ワイルドへ到着!
平日だったからかパークは空いていました。ちょうど開園時間の10時半に到着したため、荷物をロッカーに預けて、午前中はほぼ待ち時間なしで遊ぶことが出来ました。
ただ他の人も書いている通り、30分区切り(若干アバウト)でやっていないスライダーがあるので、そういうものだと思って行ったほうが楽しめると思います笑 あとは、日焼け止めはバッチリしていったほうがいいと思います。
貴重品や、持ってきたものをどうすればいいか不安でしたが、借りたロッカー(大)は十分な大きさで安心しました。受付は日本語が話せる方でした。
楽しみすぎて翌日からの筋肉痛がキツかったので(何故か上腕)、おもいっきり遊びたい人は、旅後半にいくことをオススメします。
Excellent service. Made the start of trip great. Would recommend this to anyone wanting some special treatment.
Very nice - punctual - good driving trip for us passengers. It was a fine experience including reasonable pricing with snorkeling rental.
I joined because I wanted to see a beautiful ocean, and I was truly able to see a wonderful blue sea! I was moved by the ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the white sandy beach, which was a bit disappointing, but the ocean was still beautiful, and we had an amazing time!
Our tour guide, Yusuke, was very cheerful and funny, making for a fun memory. I honestly wasn't very interested in snorkeling, but after participating, I was amazed that I could see so many corals and fish! I seemed to struggle a bit with snorkeling and almost drowned a few times, but Yusuke provided thorough instructions and kept an eye on me, so I felt safe swimming!
Thanks to the beautiful ocean and the fun tour guides, I was able to create wonderful memories! Thank you so much! I love you, Yusuke!
とにかく綺麗な海がみたいと参加しましたが本当に水色の素敵な海が見られました!見渡す限り広がる海に感動でした!残念ながら白い砂浜を見られなかったのでさみしいですがそれでも十分綺麗な海でめちゃくちゃ騒ぎました!
添乗員のゆーすけさん、とっても明るく面白い方で楽しい思い出になりました。
シュノーケリングは正直あまり興味なかったですが参加してみてまさかあんなにサンゴと魚をたくさんみることができるとは思わなかったので感動でした!ただシュノーケリングは苦手だったみたいで何度かおぼれそうになりましたが…しっかりレクチャーもしてくれて見守っていてくれたので安心して泳げました!
あんなに綺麗な海と楽しい添乗員さんたちのおかげで素敵な思い出がつくれました!
本当にありがとうございました!
ゆーすけさん大好き!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad you had a wonderful time in the beautiful sea. Please come back and visit us again!
P.S. Yusuke, who was in charge, was extremely happy. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
美しい海で楽しい時間を過ごせて頂けて本当に良かったです。またぜひ!遊びにいらしてくださいね。
追伸:担当させて頂いたゆーすけ、めちゃくちゃ喜んでました。Mahao!
We participated as a couple. The sandbar was about knee-deep, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, and we had a great time. The staff members were cheerful and fun, making us smile multiple times. The food was delicious, so I would rate it 120 out of 100. I would like to participate again.
夫婦で参加させていただきました。
サンドバーは膝下くらいでしたが、海もすごくきれいですごく楽しめました。
またスタッフの皆さんも明るく楽しく何回も笑顔にさせてくれました。
食事も美味しかったので120点の内容でした。
次も参加したいと思います。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
120 points!! Thank you very much.
From now on, all of our staff will be waiting for your smiles at the Heavenly Ocean. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
120点!!ありがとうございます。
これからもスタッフ一同天国の海で皆様の笑顔をお待ちしております。マハロ!
I participated in a heavenly sea tour with my colleagues on a company trip. The sea was incredibly beautiful and crystal clear! It was truly a sandbar♪ There were plenty of great shots! While on the boat, we also got to do some turtle watching, and the turtles were swimming around the boat. They were so cute(^-^) During snorkeling, I floated around and enjoyed seeing the turtles and coral, and I had a wonderful time\(^-^)/
会社の旅行で同僚と天国の海ツアーに参加しました。すごくキレイな海で、透き通ってました!まさにサンドバー♪ベストショットもいっぱい!ボートに乗りながらウミガメウォッチングもできて、ウミガメがボートの周りを行ったり来たり。可愛かったです(^-^)シュノーケリングではプカプカ浮きながら、ウミガメや珊瑚が見れて、たっぷり堪能いたしました\(^-^)/
Aloha! Thank you for enjoying the ocean after a long time on this Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I understand you came on a company trip this time. Please come back and visit us again when you next come to Hawaii. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo~!!
アロハ!久しぶりの海をこのキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーで楽しんでいただいてありがとうございます。
今回は会社の旅行でお越し頂いたとのことですね。次回ハワイにお超しになる際にはぜひまた遊びにいらしてくださいね。
その日をウミガメとともに楽しみにお待ちしてます。Mahalo~!!
I signed up for this for my wife’s parents, who love the ocean. As soon as we returned to the accommodation, they exclaimed, "It was absolutely amazing!!" On that day, they couldn’t see the sandbar and the water level was only up to their knees, but it seems they thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling with colorful fish and sea turtles. I heard that some elderly participants didn’t go into the water but were able to ride on a canoe-like boat to watch the fish and sea turtles. The breakfast also seemed to be delicious.
海の好きな嫁のご両親のために申し込みました。宿に戻ってくるなり「ものすごく良かった!!」と大喜びでした。この日はサンドバーは見られずひざ下位までの水位だったそうですが色とりどりの魚やウミガメとたわむれシュノーケリングを満喫したようです。ご高齢の方も参加されていて海には入らずカヌーのようなボートに乗せてもらって魚やウミガメウォッチングを見ていられたと聞きました。朝食も美味しかったようです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour.
It was a gift for your parents, wasn't it? I'm really glad that both of them enjoyed it.
Please come back to visit with your family again next time. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
ご両親様へのプレゼントだったんですね。お二人に喜んで頂けて本当に良かったです。
今度またご家族で遊びにいらしてください。Mahalo!
Purchased leis in advance of our trip to Honolulu. The representative met us at the gate with a clearly legible sign, two beautiful leis, and was very kind and professional. Highly recommend !
We arranged for a lei greeting at Honolulu airport - unfortunately, our flight from San Francisco was canceled. In the rush to get onto the next flight (which was within an hour of our cancelation) we forgot to inform Veltra about our flight change. When we landed in Honolulu (around 11 pm) we left a voice mail at their office - the next day they called me and then delivered 3 beautiful and fresh orchid leis (nicely packaged) to our hotel. They went above and beyond to help start a GREAT vacation. Thank you!
It was unexpectedly rainy.
I went during the dry season, but I was surprised by the bad weather and the cold.
Especially during snorkeling, there were people shivering from the cold.
If it had been sunny, the scenery would have been beautiful and it would have been amazing.
I would like to try again next time.
まさかの雨でした。
乾季に行ったのですがまさか天気が悪く寒かったです。
特にシュノーケリングは寒くがたがた震えている人もいました。
晴れていればとても景色もよく最高だったでしょう。
次回またチャレンジしたいと思います。
The weather was great, and we were able to meet dolphins without any issues! Since we were on the ocean, I think towels and light outerwear are necessary. It was warm for November, but many people ended up borrowing wetsuits. Also, if you're bringing a change of clothes, I recommend something that's easy to put on and take off.
お天気にも恵まれ、無事にイルカにも会うこともできました!やはり海の上なので、タオルや羽織モノは必要だと思います。11月にしては暖かかったですが、急遽ウェットスーツを借りている人も多かったです。あと。着替えを持って行くならば脱ぎ着が楽なものがオススメです。
I used to think, "Why go to a pool in Hawaii when there's an ocean?" but after watching a Japanese celebrity visit this facility on a program introducing Hawaii, I wanted to go. Finally, I was able to go this time. They picked us up at the hotel on time, and we set off by bus!!
From the opening at 10:30 AM until closing at 3:30 PM, my husband and I, both in our 40s, screamed our hearts out. Perhaps because it was the end of November, the park was not crowded, and we could enjoy everything without waiting. It was great to let out loud screams and have a blast! However, it seemed like only Japanese people were screaming, while the Caucasians were more subdued... (>_<)
There are plenty of pools for children, so I think even small kids can have a great time. Renting a locker costs $15, but you get $5 back when you return the key. I signed up for a tour without meals, so I had to pay for food separately, but you can get pizza, hot dogs, and hamburgers inside the park for about $10.
Food and drinks other than water are not allowed, and there is a bag check before entering the park.
The Shaka and Tornado rides were terrifying at first, but once I tried them, they were incredibly fun!! However, it seems I was tense, and I felt pain all over my body the next day and the day after.
You won't understand how fun it is unless you go. I highly recommend it for families with children and couples—definitely visit at least once!
海があるのにハワイでプール?と思っていましたが、ハワイを紹介する番組で日本のタレントがこの施設を訪れているのを観て、行きたいと思いました。念願かなってこの度、行くことが出来ました。時間通りにホテルまで迎えに来て貰い、バスで出発!!
10時半開園から15時半の閉園まで40代の夫婦二人で絶叫して参りました。
11月末だったせいか園内も空いていて、どれも待たずに出来ました。久し振りに大声を出して大騒ぎ!!とりあえず、どれも楽しいです。でも、絶叫しているのは、日本人ばかりで白人は、大人しめ・・・・(>_<)
お子さんのプールも沢山あるので、小さいお子さんでも十分に楽しめると思います。
ロッカーを借りるのに、15ドル掛かりますが、帰りにカギを返却すると5ドル戻って来ます。私は、食事のないツアーに申し込んだので食事は別料金で自腹でしたが、大体10ドル程でピザや、ホットドック・ハンバーガーが園内で食べられます。
お水以外の飲食物は、持ち込み禁止で入園する前に荷物検査があります。
シャカやトルネードは、最初、やるまでは恐怖でしたが、やって見ると最高に面白い!!
でも、体に力が入っていたみたいで翌日も翌々日も身体のあっちこっちが痛いです。
とにかく行って見ないと面白さは、わかりません。お子様連れの方もカップルの方も是非、一度は訪れて見て下さい~。
This sunset dinner and snorkel sail was excellent! The catamaran was very spacious with plenty of space to walk around and two spacious clean bathrooms. The staff was incredibly friendly and the photographer was exceptional! The food for dinner was also very good! After being in Hawaii for four days already and snorkeling each day, I am so glad I took with snorkel tour since it was by far the best snorkeling with beautiful reefs and sea life, and the photographer came into the water and took underwater photos of us! A jump drive with all the photos cost $40 and was well worth it! Of note do take some motion sickness medicine, you are on a boat! Overall I would highly recommend this trip to any one who wants to see great corral and beautiful sea life!
I was moved to swim with the dolphins!! The staff were kind and it was great. Su-san was funny, beautiful, and a wonderful person.
イルカと泳げて感動しました!!スタッフさん親切で良かったです。すーさん面白くて綺麗で素敵な方でした。
I signed up for this tour because my mother said she didn't want to wear a swimsuit. I had thought I would see beautiful fish the whole time while diving, so I was disappointed that I could only see them at certain points. The colors were also dull. My family was happy, but I felt disappointed. I rated it as average, balancing my family's satisfaction with my dissatisfaction. There may not be anyone who wants to participate based on my experience, but for those who don't understand English or families with small children, I recommend joining the tour with a Japanese guide.
母が水着を着たくないと言っていたので、水着を着なくていいこのツアーに申し込みました。
潜っている間中、ずっと綺麗な魚が見られると思っていたので、ポイントごとにしか見られなくて残念でした。色も地味でした。家族は喜んでいましたが、私は残念に思いました。
評価は家族の満足と私の不満を平均して普通にしました。
私の体験談で参加したいと思われる方はいらっしゃらないかもしれませんが、英語がわからない方、小さいお子様がいるご家族の方は日本語ガイドの会の乗船をお勧めいたします。
The sandbar was great with the sea turtles, but the weather was cloudy and very cold (>_<)
However, the ocean was really beautiful, which was nice.
サンドバーはウミガメはすごくよかったですが、天気が曇りでとても寒かったです(>_<)
でも海はすごくきれいでよかったです。
On time pick up and drop off, great friendly driver(Patrick) well done, very organised trip great value. Recommended.
The sea was more beautiful than I imagined. I was moved to find such a beautiful place in the middle of the ocean. I also got to see sea turtles for the first time, and it was the best place ever. The hamburgers were delicious, and the staff were really great to us; I had so much fun♡ I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
海は想像以上に綺麗。
海の真ん中にあんなに綺麗な
場所があるなんて感動でした。
海亀も初めてみれて、最高の場所でした。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、スタッフさん達にもすごく良くして頂いて、本当楽しかった♡
また機会があれば参加したいです。
The weather was nice on the day, and fortunately, we were able to see a pod of dolphins not too far from the beach.
The instructor and photographer skillfully got close to the dolphins, so I recommend staying close to the instructor as much as possible.
当日は天気も良く、運よく?ビーチからそれほど離れていない
場所でイルカの群れを見ることができました♪
インストラクター、カメラマンは上手くイルカの近くに行くの
で、できるだけインストラクターと一緒に行動することをオス
スメします。
I included it in the original tour for the children's honeymoon. Since it departs in the afternoon, you can enjoy a leisurely brunch in the morning. A while ago, Hanauma was popular, but now it's a hot tour! The beautiful sea is breathtaking! It's also a meaningful use of time.
子供の新婚旅行のオリジナルツアーに組み込みました。
午後出発なので朝はゆっくりとブランチができます。
一昔前はハナウマ人気でしたが、今アツイツアーですね^^
きれいな海に感動もの!時間的にも有意義です
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. Congratulations on your marriage!! I'm really glad you were able to enjoy this beautiful sea and nature as part of your precious honeymoon memories. Please come back for this tour with everyone again. We look forward to seeing you. Mahalo!
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頂いてありがとうございます。
ご結婚おめでとうございます!!
大切な新婚旅行の想い出にこの美しい海と自然を楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。
また皆様でこのツアーにお越し下さい。お待ちしております。Mahalo!
This was our first luau and we weren't disappointed.
The food was so-so.... but the entertainment was first class.
The chief was funny and the dancers were excellent
You can have a rare experience of interacting directly with dolphins. At first, I wasn't particularly interested, but I participated because my wife wanted to join. Honestly, I felt the price was high, but the experience was worth it. I was able to kiss, touch, and swim with the dolphins. The pool was located a bit away from the facility. Participants are not allowed to take photos, but spectators (for a fee) can take pictures. Since the shooting will be from a bit of a distance, I think a DSLR with a telephoto lens is necessary. By the way, the Royal Dolphin Swim takes place in the pool where the dolphin show is held, and I thought I would try that next.
イルカと直接触れ合える貴重な体験ができます。
最初は特に興味が無く、妻が一緒に参加したいということで参加しました。
正直、料金は高いと感じていましたが、十分に納得できる内容でした。
イルカとキス、触る、泳ぐことができました。
プールは施設から少し離れたところでした。
参加者による撮影はできませんが、見学者(料金必要)による撮影は可能です。
少し遠い場所からの撮影となるので、望遠レンズを付けた一眼レフが必要かと思います。
ちなみに、ロイヤルドルフィンスイムは施設内のイルカショーをするプールで行われており、次はこちらを体験しようと思いました。
Many people seemed to get seasick, but it was incredibly fun! I would love to request this again when I go to Hawaii! ♪
船酔い・海酔いになった人も多々いたようですが、
最高にたのしかったです!
またハワイに行ったときはお願いしたいです♪
The sandbar was more beautiful than I imagined! It's a place I want to visit again. The weather wasn't very good, so snorkeling was a bit disappointing, but I got to see sea turtles, and I'm very satisfied!
サンドバーは想像以上にきれいでした!もう一度行きたいと思えるような場所です。
天気があまり良くなかったのでシュノーケリングは少し残念でしたが、ウミガメも見れたし、大満足です!
I participated in somewhat gloomy weather, but luckily I was able to see the sandbar. I also took some really nice photos. I think it would be amazing if the weather were good.
かなりどんよりした天気の中参加しましたが、運よくサンドバーを見ることができました。
とても素敵な写真も撮れました。天気が良ければ最高だと思います。
