Oahu
I used this restaurant for my birthday dinner. I have visited this place many times, and it consistently delivers reliable service and flavors without any variation. They also provide a complimentary photo plate for birthdays. I definitely want to visit again.
自身の誕生日ディナーで利用。この店は何度も利用してますが、変わらぬ間違えのない、お店、 味にブレがありません。
お誕生日だと写真のプレートがサービスされます。又利用したいて思います
This was our family's first time in Hawaii and first time whale watching. The naturalist was very knowledgeable, and the boat had multiple decks for all the passengers to see the surroundings. My kids were very excited to see the whale blowing water and tail slapping. A great experience!
At the end of the day the price come to worth, you get to have welcome show , beautiful view, delicious food, dangerous but tasty drinks, and party at the end of the trip.
Best tip will come early so you don’t missed the welcome show and also get your picture a the end.
All around good evening, it is a bigger luau but that did not take away from how personal the story telling way!
We went with this tour as not many stop inside the Valley! We really wanted this, so tying the tour togehter was a good way!
Easy in easy out, just be aware of rocks if you have weak ankles. The fall was flowing on the day we had planned so all was well!
Super enjoy! The crew are great and friendly.
Staffs are super kind. The sightseeing and activities were super fun! Definitely will come back!
The sliders open alternately. It might be difficult because you have to bring the float up from below.
Juice is included for free, but since it's in the same area as the food, you'll have to wait in line.
スライダーは交互にオープンします。
したから浮き輪を持って上がらないといけないので、そこが大変かもしれません
ジュースは無料でついてくるのですが、ご飯と一緒の場所なので、並びます。
Regarding the meal, you need to show the receipt for your order at the counter next to you. If you think the order is automatically entered, that's a mistake, so please ask to see the receipt.

This was my first time in Hawaii during this season, and I wanted to see whales at least once, so I participated in the tour. Boarding started at 8:15, and first, we took a commemorative photo by group. During the tour, the staff will ask if you'd like to purchase a photo ($26).
Before departure, we helped ourselves to pineapple banana bread and drinks (coffee, tea, water, and other beverages are available for a fee). While we were eating, the naturalist provided explanations about the whales (no explanations in Japanese).
Since it was a large boat, the rocking wasn't too bad, but if you're worried, it's advisable to take motion sickness medication. Shortly after departure, whales appeared, and there was a great cheer from everyone on board! The boat slowly approached the direction of the whales and stayed there for a while. It seems we couldn't get closer than 100 yards.
Although we couldn't see them jumping, we were able to see them spouting water and their pectoral fins and tails multiple times. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also lovely. We returned to Aloha Tower around 11:00.
The women's restroom had about 30 stalls, and there was also a wheelchair-accessible restroom. It seems there are no public restrooms at Aloha Tower, so it's better to take care of that on the boat.
I signed up without transportation and took THE BUS to the location. It took about 30 minutes on bus number 2 from Kuhio Avenue to downtown, and then about a 15-minute walk to Aloha Tower. On the way back, the bus to Ala Moana Center passes by Aloha Tower, so I enjoyed shopping and lunch right after the tour.
この時期のハワイは初めてで、行くなら一度は鯨を見てみたいと思い、参加しました。
8:15に乗船開始し、まずは、グループ毎に記念撮影をし、ツアーの途中で、スタッフの方が購入するか否かを声かけしてくれます。($26)
軽食は、出港前にセルフ形式でパイナップルバナナブレッドと飲み物(コーヒー・紅茶・水・その他の飲み物は有料)を取りに行き、食べている最中にナチュラリストから鯨に関する説明があります。(日本語の説明はなし。)
大型船なので、揺れはそれ程でもありませんが、心配な方は、酔い止めを。
出港後、すぐに鯨が現れ、船内は大歓声!船は、ゆっくり鯨がいる方向へ近づき、しばらく留まってくれます。100ヤード以内には近づくことはできないようです。
ジャンプする姿を見ることはできませんでしたが、潮を吹いたり、胸びれや尾ひれは何度も見ることができました。
海から眺めるワイキキの町並みとダイヤモンドヘッドも良かったです。
11時位にアロハタワーに帰港しました。
トイレは、女性用は、個室が約30弱程あり、車椅子対応のトイレもありました。
アロハタワーには、公衆トイレは無いようなので、船で済ませた方が良いと思います。
今回、送迎なしで申込み、現地まではTHE BUSで行きました。クヒオ通りから2番のバスでダウンタウンまで約30分、そこからアロハタワーまで徒歩で約15分程です。
帰りは、アラモアナセンター行きのバスがアロハタワーを通るため、ツアー参加後にそのままショッピングとランチも楽しみました。
Whales appear suddenly, so be sure to keep your eyes on the sea until you return to port. Even in winter in Hawaii, the sun is strong, so I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen.
鯨は、突然現れるので、帰港するまで海から目をそらさないようにしましょう。
冬のハワイでも陽射しは強いので、日焼け止めは塗っておいた方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching and the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラの観測や船からの景色をお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
This is a plan that includes a large ship, light snacks (pineapple banana cake and coffee or tea), and a re-boarding guarantee in case you miss the experience.
Since it’s a large ship, the restrooms and space are excellent, and you can travel to the ship on a large bus equipped with restrooms, which made me feel secure even though I tend to have a sensitive stomach.
In mid-January, during the off-season and the whale watching season, we were able to encounter the whales in a relatively empty setting on our first trip! We chased a group of three whales and captured footage of a baby whale breaching.
We were able to see them up close. If I had to mention something, it would be that the area behind the Hyatt Regency had many tour buses, making it hard to identify which one was ours. Additionally, juices for kids are available for a fee, and there is no dedicated photographer, so you need to take pictures of the whales yourself. Overall, I was very satisfied!
大型船でいく、軽食(パイナップルバナナケーキとコーヒー紅茶)・見れなかった場合の再乗船保証付きのプランです。
大型船のためトイレもスペースもバッチリ、船までもトイレ付き大型バスで移動でき、お腹を壊しがちな自分でも安心でした。
シーズンオフの1月中旬、ホエールウォッチングのシーズンということで空いた状態で初回に遭遇できました!
3頭組を併走で追いかけ子クジラのブリーチングを撮影。
間近でしっかり見れました。
強いて挙げれば、ハイアットリージェンシー裏はツアーのバスが多くどれが自分のバスかわかりづらく、子供向けのジュースなどは有料、専属カメラマンなどはおらずクジラは自分で撮影する必要がありますが、全体的に満足できました!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. It must have become a lifelong memory for Toshio in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
クジラのジャンプをご観測頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。トシオ様のハワイでの一生の思い出となったことでしょう。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難うございます。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Good boat ride, I guess. Did not see any whales. I realize I can go back, but I'm already back on the mainland.If you want to do this but only have one week, schedule early so you can maybe get back on another ride later in your week. Nearby parking was $24 for three hours, also.
Aloha, and thank you for sharing your review. We are very disappointed to learn that your overall experience was less than exceptional and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and we have shared your review with our General Manager as well as our leadership team as we hope to offer all of our guests an enjoyable experience. Mahalo for sharing the details about areas that we may improve.
I am afraid of water. When our team went snorkeling, I told the captain I wouldn't go. She said, "I take you and you should overcome it." Then she put me on a big noodle and slowly pulled me to the snorkeling place. It's wonderful that I can see some tropical fish and turtles. Thank you, Captain!
Thank you for join our tour. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience! We hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable adventures.
I had always wanted to go whale watching, so when I finally came to Hawaii after five years, I quickly signed up for a tour. Since it’s a natural experience, I thought it would be lucky if I got to see a whale, but I also had the desire to actually encounter one. I spent two hours on deck searching for whales, but the result was just a brief glimpse of a back and a fluke... it was disappointing.
However, right after boarding, I was able to see a huge rainbow over the ocean, and I also got to see the view of Diamond Head that can only be seen from the sea, which was amazing. The banana bread was moist and delicious as well.
If I have the chance again, I would love to participate and hopefully see a whale breach next time.
一度はホエールウォッチングに行ってみたいと思っていたので、5年ぶりにハワイに来ることになり早速申し込みをしました。自然との闘いなのでクジラに出会えればラッキーと思いつつ、でもせっかくなら出会いたいという欲望もあって2時間は甲板でクジラを探しましたが、結果はほんの一瞬だけ背中と腹びれが見えただけ・・・残念でした。
でも乗船してすぐに海にかかる大きな虹を見ることが出来たり、海からしか見られないダイヤモンドヘッドの姿も見ることが出来て最高でした。
バナナブレッドもしっとりとして美味しかったです。
また機会があったら参加して、今度はクジラのジャブを見てみたいです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the morning cruise. Please come again. We hope you encounter many whales next time. All of our staff look forward to welcoming you.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。朝のクルーズをお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。是非またお越し下さい。次回は是非沢山の鯨に出会えれば良いですね。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
Our pick up was punctual, directions were clear and concise. Our driver was friendly, kind, informative, and had a great sense of humor! We were given plenty of time to spend at the memorial on our own at our own pace. I would highly recommend this tour.
You will laugh all night! This was a perfect balance on a historic evening with a light heartness to it!
Good food selection at the buffet, and the boat is big so it is not too choppy on the waters.
Our agent got us these and was easier and we got to avoid the long line at the park!
The boat was large, I wish it was a bit more personal smaller tour, but nonetheless evening was filled with smiles!
Thew crew was so sweet to my kiddos, and the food was really good!
They do not guide you up to hike, but it was pretty self explanatory!
The ranch is so gorgeous, breathtaking! This duo was a wonderful day
Even as a beginner at fishing, the crew helped me, and I had a great time. I caught three fish. The bait was squid, which I put on myself. It was fun.
釣りが初心者でも、クルーが助けてくれて、楽しめた。3匹も釣れた。エサはイカで自分でつける。楽しかった。
It would be good to have a towel to wipe your hands.
手を拭くタオルがあるとよい
Thank you for the wonderful review and beautiful photos of the fish. We are very happy that you enjoyed fishing with us as beginners and were able to catch three fish. We appreciate your suggestion about having towels on hand, and we will keep that in mind for future trips. Your comfort is important to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon for more fishing adventures. Tight lines! 🎣
素晴らしいレビューと美しい魚の写真をありがとうございます。初心者の私たちと一緒に釣りを楽しんで、3匹の魚を釣っていただけてとてもうれしいです。タオルを手元に用意しておくことについてのご提案に感謝し、今後の旅行の参考にさせていただきます。お客様の快適さは私たちにとって重要です。さらなる釣りの冒険のために、また近いうちにお会いできることを楽しみにしています。タイトなライン! 🎣
I had always wanted to see whales at least once in my life! I imagined witnessing their majestic leaps from the ocean and their tail fins sinking like ginkgo leaves. When I had the chance to go to Hawaii in January, I thought this was my opportunity and signed up. I waited on the deck for two hours, filled with excitement and anticipation, but unfortunately, they never appeared. I understand that encounters with nature depend on luck, but it was disappointing. Still, I believe I will see them someday, and I would like to sign up again. The tour was easy to understand and friendly, and the boat was large, which gave me a sense of security.
一生に一度は見たいと思っていたクジラ!海から躍り出る雄姿や、海に沈んでいくイチョウのような尾ビレが見られたらと思っていました。今回Hawaiiに1月に行くことで、これはチャンスと思い申し込みました。ワクワクドキドキしながら、甲板で2時間待ちましたが、とうとう現れてくれませんでした。自然界との遭遇は運もあるとは思っていましたが、残念でした。でも、いつかは見られると信じて、また申し込みをしたいと思います。ツアーは分かりやすく親切で、船も大きくて安心感がありました。
I think whale watching does depend on luck, but it might be better to aim for a time when you're almost guaranteed to see them. Since it's a large boat, I thought there would be less rocking, but for
ホエールウォッチングは運もあるとは思いますが、できれば絶対見られる時期などを狙ったほうがいいのかな。大きな船なので揺れは少ないとは思いましたが、酔う人は酔い止めはマストです。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are sorry that you didn't get to see any whales this time, but we are glad you enjoyed the views from the ship. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to your next visit.
この度は私共のクルーズにお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。今回クジラに会えなかった事が残念ですが、船上からの眺め等お楽しみ頂き嬉しく思っております。是非またお越し下さい。スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
The staff provides various explanations in English throughout the tour. I thought it might have been more enjoyable if I could understand English better. There is no Japanese guide.
ツアーの間中スタッフが色々と英語で説明をしてくれます。英語がもっと理解できたらもっと楽しかったかもと思いました。日本語ガイドはありません。
The staff was very friendly. As soon as we got on the boat, we were able to see what looked like a whale's tail and back. There was music playing on the boat, and the breeze felt nice.
スタッフはとても親切でした。
ボートに乗ると直ぐにクジラのしっぽと背中らしきものをみることができました。ボートの中では音楽が流れていて風が気持ちよかったです。
It finished around 10:30, so I can make good use of the afternoon.
10時半くらいには終わったので午後は有効に使えます。
I had been curious about this restaurant while walking in Waikiki for a while, but I felt it was somehow too upscale and didn't go in. This time, I requested it through Veltra, and I finally fulfilled my wish. Once inside, the food was delicious, and the staff was cheerful and friendly. I should have come in sooner!
このレストランは以前からワイキキを歩く時に気になっていたのですが、何となく敷居が高いような気がして入れませんでした。今回ベルトラさん経由でお願いして、やっと念願叶いました。
入ってみると料理も美味しく、スタッフも陽気で親切でした。もっと早く入ればよかった!
It's reassuring to have Japanese staff at the register.
レジに日本人のスタッフがいて安心です。
This is my second time participating! The first time, the weather was bad and cold, and the sea conditions were terrible, so I honestly couldn't enjoy it much. Because of that, I decided to make a comeback this time, and I was able to participate in the best conditions with clear skies and low tide! Moreover, the local staff remembered me and came to talk to me, which made me very happy! I also got to see a lot of sea turtles, and it was so much fun! Both times, the same driver was there, and I really like him! I want to participate again!
今回2回目の参加です!
1回目は天気が悪く寒くて、海のコンディションも最悪で正直あまり楽しめませんでした。。
それもあり今回リベンジしたら、晴天プラス干潮で最高のコンディションで参加できました!
しかも現地のスタッフさんが覚えていてくれて話しかけてくれたのでとても嬉しかったです!!
ウミガメもたくさん見れてとても楽しかったです!!
2回とも同じ送迎の方でした、とても良い方で好きです!
また参加したいと思います!
I think it’s difficult to find the right timing, but I believe it would be great to go during low tide!
行くタイミング難しいと思うけど、やっぱり干潮を狙って行けたらいいと思います!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour for the second time. I'm really glad to hear that the conditions were excellent this time. I hope for another day of perfect conditions next time. I'm looking forward to that day! Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーに二度目のご参加ありがとうございました。今回はコンディションが最高だったとのことで本当にうれしいです。
次回も最高のコンディションの日になりますように。その日を今から楽しみにお待ちしております。Mahalo!
If it wasn’t for our tour guide, Dave, our adventure would have been very unsatisfactory. There was far far too much driving. The caves were inaccessible for most of us as the rocks were slippery. The stairs were steep, and there weren’t enough hiking sticks to go around. we stopped for quite a bit of time just to have lunch, which to me was very unnecessary. A snack would’ve sufficed. Then we drove, which seemed to be forever to go see the most recent lava flow… Which was quite interesting but somewhat repetitive. Again, if it wasn’t for our tour guide, Dave, his personality, information and enthusiasm It would’ve been a bust. Again far far far too much driving for what we actually could get out and enjoy and see.
Less driving and more interactive stops.
This was my second experience. The first time was in November, and this time in January, so the water level was around waist height and there was no sandy beach, but it was still an amazing experience. The first time was a bit cold, and I felt chilly when I got out of the water, but this time the water temperature was a bit higher, and I was able to enjoy myself comfortably.
We took a boat to the point, and the staff's service was truly wonderful. Their desire to make sure we had fun was clearly felt.
My wife was not good at swimming and said she couldn't do the sea turtle watching, but with the support of the staff, she was able to experience snorkeling for the first time in her life and was very happy. We were also able to see sea turtles clearly.
Additionally, when I mentioned it was my second time, they even gave us a souvenir. I already want to go for a third time. As others have commented, it can be cold depending on the timing, but they provided warm drinks, spam onigiri, miso soup, and snacks for free, which allowed us to enjoy ourselves until the end. Thank you very much.
今回2回目の体験でした。
前回は11月、今回は1月なのでどちらも水位は腰ぐらいで砂浜はありませんでしたが、それでも最高の体験でした。
1回目は少し寒く水から上がると寒く感じましたが、今回は少し水温も高く快適に遊べました。
船でポイントまで行くのですが、スタッフの方の対応が本当に素晴らしい。
楽しませてくれようとする気持ちがヒシヒシと伝わってきます。
妻が泳ぐのが苦手で海亀ウォッチだけは無理と言っていましたが、スタッフの方のサポートで人生初のシュノーケリングまで体験できて非常に喜んでいました。
海亀もしっかり見れました。
また、今回2回目だと伝えるとお土産までくれました。3回目も行きたくなりますね。
他の方のコメントでもありましたが、タイミングによっては寒いですがそれに対する温かい飲み物の用意やスパムおにぎり、味噌汁、お菓子などを無料で用意してくれていて最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
ありがとうございます。
Depending on the timing, it can feel very cold, so it’s a good idea to bring extra towels and something to wear on top, even though it may add a bit of weight to your luggage. They have provided plent
タイミングによっては非常に寒く感じる事もあるので、
少し荷物にはなりますがタオル多めと上に羽織る物は必ず用意しておくといいです。
身体を温める飲食物は十分に用意してくださってます。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour for the second time. We are truly happy to have been able to assist your wife with her first snorkeling experience. We all sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again. A hui hou!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。2度目のご参加本当にありがとうございました。奥様の初シュノーケリングのお手伝いが出来て本当にうれしく思います。
またお会いできる日をスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。 A hui hou!
