Oahu
Absolutely AWESOME!!! The staff where very friendly with a great sense of humor. They knew what they were doing. Always checking in with every person on board to see if they needed anything. We saw tons of dolphins. The SNUBA was fantastic!! We saw so many fish and 2 turtles!! The food and drinks were great as well!!! Will do this again when we come back!!
I made a reservation in advance and met the staff on-site on the day, so I was anxious until I got there, but I was able to meet the person in charge without any issues. The best part was being able to enter an hour earlier than regular guests, which allowed us to ride the slides before they got crowded. Once it started getting busy, some slides had a 30-minute wait, so that extra hour was invaluable.
Each slide has its own unique features and they are all a lot of fun. It's perfect for kids. I definitely want to go again when I come back to Hawaii. However, waiting for each slide without any shade was tough as my skin was getting burned...
事前予約をして当日現地で合流だったので、行くまでは不安でしたが無事に現地で担当者の方と合流できました。何よりよかったのが一般のお客さんより1時間早く入れるので一般開放の前に混んでしまうスライダーにじゃんじゃん乗ることができたことです。実際混んできてからは30分待つ必要があるスライダーが並ばないでいけるこの1時間は貴重です。
それぞれスライダーは特徴があり楽しいものばかり。子供には最高です。またハワイに来る際には是非行きたいと思います。
ただ、日陰もない中で各スライダーを待つのはじりじりと肌が焼かれてつらかったです。。。
I have been to Hawaii many times, but the chief's talk in this show was very interesting, and I would like to participate again.
ハワイには何回も来ていますが、このショーのチーフのトークがたいへん面白くてまた参加したいと思いました。
As the name "Heavenly Sea" suggests, the ocean was incredibly beautiful and moving. At the sandbar, the staff took many photos for us, which created wonderful memories. The hamburger we had on the boat was also very delicious. I had heard it would be cold, so bringing a bath towel was the right choice. I would like to use this service again next time.
天国の海と言うだけあって、海がとってもきれいで感動。
サンドバ-ではスタッフの方がたくさん写真を撮ってくださり、思い出が出来て良かった。
船で食べたハンバ-ガ-もとてもおいしかった。
寒いと聞いていたので、バスタオルを持って行って正解だった。
また次回も利用したい。
When I saw "popular," I thought, really?! and felt a bit anxious, but it was really great. The bus ride to and from was cold. There were participants other than Japanese people who seemed to be talking about how cold it was in English, but they only slightly reduced the air flow, and it was still cold. So, warm clothing is necessary.
The sea was truly beautiful, and the kids had a blast! We were very satisfied with the family photos taken. I wish we could have spent more time there. For lunch, we had hamburgers, but the portion was satisfying. The boat also had a restroom, which was reassuring! I didn't experience any seasickness.
After that, we went sea turtle watching. We were able to see several come up for air. Then we moved to a snorkeling spot. We saw a lot of fish and were very satisfied! Both my 6-year-old and 14-year-old enjoyed it. Although we participated at the end of July, it was cold when we got out of the water. At first, I felt the price was a bit high, but my family was very satisfied with our participation. 😊
”人気”と書かれると、ホントに?!と不安に思っていましたが、とても良かったです。
行き帰りのバスは寒かったです。日本人以外の参加の人がいて英語で寒いと会話していたようですが、風量を若干下げてくれてたぐらいで、それでも寒かった。なので、防寒着は必要です。
海は本当にキレイで、子供も大はじゃぎ!
家族写真もうまく撮っていただき大満足。時間的にはもっとゆっくりしたかったなぁ~
お昼は、ハンバーガーだけど、お腹は満足出来る量でした。
船には、トイレもあるので、安心!船酔いも無かったです。
その後は、ウミガメウォッチング。息継ぎに上がってくるのを何匹か見れました。
また移動し、シュノーケリング出来るスポットへ。
魚がいっぱい見れて、大満足!子供6歳、14歳も楽しんでました。
7月末の参加でしたが、海から出ると寒かったです。
最初は、料金的には高い気もしましたが、我が家は参加してとても満足でした(^^)/
Last time, my child was 2 years old and seemed to have no memory of it, and since they were still small, it was difficult to participate in the wild dolphin tour, so we joined.
The price is high... The photo cost also went up by 5 dollars compared to last time... I bought it anyway.
However, my child enjoyed it, so that was good.
After interacting with the dolphins, there wasn't much else to see; it felt like it was just about the dolphins.
The meals were also expensive, and the locals brought their own food.
If the goal is to interact with dolphins, I think it's a good tour.
前回は子供が2歳で、記憶がないようだったのと、まだ小さく野生イルカツアーの参加が難しかったので、参加しました。
値段は高いです…。写真も前回より5ドル上がってました…。買いましたが。
しかし、子供は楽しんでいたので良かったです。
イルカと触れ合った後は、あまり見るものもなく、イルカだけという感じでした。
食事も高くて、地元の人は持参してました。
イルカと触れ合うことが目的なら、いいツアーだと思います。
You can interact with dolphins, and the children seemed to have a great time. Since each person has their own time to interact with the dolphins, the overall waiting time can be a bit long, which is a slight downside. The transportation included a shuttle, so I was fast asleep on the bus... I think this kind of travel is convenient.
It might depend on the season, but the water was a bit cold. There were people who got out of the pool early.
As I mentioned in the photos, you can also see a dolphin show. However, since it's in English, I couldn't really understand what they were saying.
The show itself is better in Japan.
イルカと触れあうことができ、子どもも楽しそうでした。
1人ひとりがイルカと触れあう時間があるために、トータルでの待ち時間が長いのが少し難点でしょうか。
送迎付きだったので、バスの中は熟睡・・・。
こういう移動も楽だと思います。
時期によるかもしれませんが、水が少し冷たかったです。先にプールから上がっている人もいました。
写真にも載せましたが、イルカショーも見られます。
が、当然英語なので、何を言っているのかはよくわからず。
ショー自体は日本の方がよいですね。
The lecture began in the car heading to the ship, and the children seemed somewhat intimidated by the stern instructor. The crowded car was silent. The strict guidance from the instructor continued on board the ship as well. I wonder if they learned not to underestimate the sea.
船へ向かう車内から講義が始まり、厳しい口調の教官に対して子供たちはやや萎縮気味に。満員の車内はシーンとしていました。船内でも教官の厳しい指導が続きました。海をなめてはいけないという教育にはなったかな。
Since I was accompanied by an elderly person and a child, I booked a submarine tour where we could enjoy the underwater scenery without getting wet.
We took a boat from the beach out to sea and approached the submarine to board it. Although the sea was a bit murky due to the storm, we were still able to fully enjoy the underwater views. It seemed that the scenery was better on the left side than on the right side of the submarine. Additionally, while you can listen to explanations in Japanese through headphones inside the submarine, having some understanding of English allows you to enjoy the real-time commentary even more.
老人とコドモが同行していたので、水に濡れることなく海中景色が楽しめる、潜水艦ツアーを申し込みました。
浜辺からボートで沖に出て、沖にいる潜水艦に近づいて乗り込みます。
嵐の後だったので、多少、海が濁っていたようですが、それでも充分に海中の景色を堪能できました。
潜水艦では、右側よりも左側のほうが、景色は良かったようです。
なお、潜水艦内ではヘッドフォンで日本語の説明を聞くことができますが、多少でも英語が分かったほうが、リアルタイムの説明を聞けるので、より楽しめます。
I could only see the whale's fins and tail, but the deep blue, beautiful sea was stunning! Also, there were so many people that when the whale appeared, everyone crowded to that side, so I couldn't take many photos of the whale!
クジラは手や尾しか見れなかったのですが、真っ青で綺麗な海がとてもきれいでした!
また、人数がとても多くてクジラが現れるとそっち側に皆が寄るのでクジラの写真はあまり撮れなかったです!
Thank you for boarding with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度は、ご乗船ありがとうございます。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂ける事を、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
When you think of Hawaii, you usually think of the beach, but the pool here is a big hit with the kids. The height restrictions are strictly enforced, so if you're bringing small children, there might be pools they can't play in, which could be disappointing.
Unlike Americans, we don't drink soft drinks in large quantities, so I think a plan without soft drinks is sufficient. Also, all the maps on-site are in English, so it's a good idea to print out a map from a Japanese website in advance. If you want to play until closing time, please make sure to reserve a taxi for your return, as there are no taxis available on the street.
ハワイと言えば本来はビーチですが、ここのプールは、コドモ達は大満足。
身長制限はキビしくチェックされてるので、小さいチビ連れの場合、遊べないプールがあって、ガッカリするかも。
米国人と違って、そんなにソフトドリンクをガブ飲みしないので、ソフトドリンク無しのプランで充分だと思います。
また、現地での地図はすべて英語表記なので、事前に日本語のサイトで地図を印刷しておいたほうが良いでしょう。
閉園ギリギリまで遊び倒したいなら、帰りはタクシーを予約しておいてください。
流しのタクシーは居ません。
With 10 adults, 6 toddlers, and 2 infants participating, I thought it would be impossible for everyone to board the boat, but we all managed to get on together, and it became a wonderful memory! The staff were all very nice, providing us with photos and tea, and their attentiveness was excellent. Since it was a short time, I was worried about whether we could enjoy it, but the plan allowed participation even for those with babies and those who didn't want to snorkel, so the whole family was able to have a great time! Plus, since we finished in the morning, we could move on to the next plan, making it a very satisfying day!
大人10名、幼児6名、乳児2名の参加で船の同乗は無理かと思ったけど、みんなで一緒に乗れ、とてもいい思い出になりました!
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方ばかりで、写真やお茶を運んでくれたりで、気配りもとても良かったです。短い時間だったので、楽しめるか心配だったけど、赤ちゃん連れにもシュノーケリングしない人がいても無理なく参加出来るプランで、家族みんなが存分に楽しむ事が出来ました!そして、午前中には、終わるので、次のプランも動け、大満足な日となりました!
I was torn between the Star of Honolulu and the Navatek, but choosing the Navatek based on experiences was the right decision. The morning tour doesn't include a meal, but since the goal was to see whales, it actually worked out well (lunch is after disembarking, back in Waikiki). We set sail almost at the same time as the Star, but even after the Star returned to port about 30 minutes after reaching the viewpoint, we continued to search for whales. The vessel is specifically designed for whale watching, making it very easy to see, and I highly recommend it.
スターオブホノルル号かこちらかで悩んだのですが、体験談などをもとにナバテック号を選んだのは正解でした。午前のツアーで食事もついていませんが、クジラを見るのが目的なのでむしろ良かったとも言えます(ランチは下船後、ワイキキに戻って)。スター号とほぼ同時に出航しましたが、スター号がビューポイント到着から30分くらいで帰港していった後も、クジラを求めて動いてくれました。船体もホエールウオッチング専用にできているのでとても見やすくおすすめです。
I went for the first time this time, and it was more fun than I expected.
We went to a wave pool for the bodyboard lesson, and it was quite hard and authentic!
The kids were initially tossed around by waves taller than they were, but gradually got used to it, and by the end, they were able to ride the waves skillfully.
今回初めて行きましたが、予想以上に楽しかったです。
ホディボードレッスンで波の出るプールに行きましたが、これが結構ハードで本格的!!
子供たちも最初は自分の背丈より高い波に翻弄されていましたが、徐々に慣れて最後は上手に波乗りができるようになっていました。
I was able to see the whales! However, they were too far away, just barely... I was hoping for splashes like in the photos, so I was a bit disappointed.
くじらは見れました!
しかし、遠すぎて、かろうじて・・・でした。
写真のような波しぶきを期待しちゃったので、
ちょっと残念でした。
Thank you very much for joining us on the Star of Honolulu. Whales can be active on certain days, and there are times when they jump close by. We hope you have the chance to experience that on your next visit! All of our staff are looking forward to seeing you again.

この度はスターオブホノルル号にご参加頂き、誠に有難うございました。
クジラは日によってアクティブな時もあり、近くでもジャンプしてくれる日もあります。
またの機会にそんなチャンスもあると良いですね!
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
予約課
Last time, my child was small and a bit scared, but this time we had a fantastic experience with the dolphin kiss and were very satisfied. There are many hands-on experiences here, but you can also spend a leisurely day just watching.
前回は子供が小さくて少しビビッてたのですが、今回はドルフィンのキスに大はしゃぎで大満足の体験ができました。ここは体験型が多いですが、見るだけでも一日ゆっくりできますよ。
The weather on the day was great, and I had an amazing time in the best conditions. I was especially lucky to see manta rays. The staff were very friendly and kind, and I was extremely satisfied. I definitely want to participate again!
当日は天気にも恵まれ、最高のコンディションの中楽しんできました。特にマンタが見れて超ラッキーでした。スタッフの方々もとてもフレンドリー&親切で大変満足しました。是非また参加したいと思います!
We had a GREAT time! Loved the volleyball on the sandbar, bbq on the boat and cruising across the bay watching the turtles. Snorkeling on the reef was awesome. The crew was awesome. Would do this again in a heartbeat!
I had wanted to visit the sandbar. However, it was unfortunately rainy, and the water depth at the shallowest point was only about knee-deep for men. This was disappointing, as it was due to weather conditions. Despite this, the staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere, making the experience enjoyable. The snorkeling was in relatively deeper water, but it was safe since we wore life jackets. We were also able to see the honu (sea turtles).
行ってみたかったサンドバー。
しかし生憎の雨、そして最も浅いところの水深も男性の膝下くらいでした。
こればかりは気象条件によるので、残念でした。
そんな中でもスタッフの方々が明るく盛り上げていただき、楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケリングは比較的深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着て泳ぎますので安心です。ホヌも見ることが出来ました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The weather conditions may not have been perfect, but I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour despite that. Activities in nature show different faces each day. Please come back to visit us again to experience a different side of the sandbar next time!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。気象条件はパーフェクトではなかったようですがそんななかでツアーを楽しんで頂けて本当に良かったです。
大自然の中でのアクティビティの為その日その日によっていろんな表情を見せてくれます。次回はまた違った表情のサンドバーに出会いに遊びにいらしてくださいね。
I intended to participate using Early Bird, but it was disappointing that the participation date only allowed for regular hours, which really limited the time. There were many enjoyable attractions, and I was satisfied! However, even though the park isn't that large, it took a lot of time to move around. The wave pool was "too crowded" and "the waves were too strong," making it difficult for the kids, and the adults were struggling too. There were too few free floaties. I was looking forward to "Shaka," but it wasn't as intense as "Manta" in Guam. I have listed some complaints, but it is still a place I would like to visit again.
アーリーバードを利用して参加するつもりが、参加日は通常営業しか対応してなかったため時間が本当に短かったのが一番の残念。アトラクションは楽しいものが多くて満足!でもそんなに広くない園内なのに移動にすごく時間がかかります。波のプールは「人多すぎ」「波がきつすぎ」で子供たちは溺れかけて大人も必死でした。無料の浮き輪が少なすぎます。「シャカ」を楽しみにしてましたが、グアムの「マンタ」ほどキツクなかったです。不満が並びましたが、でもまた訪れたい場所ではあります。
The whole experience was great. Nice bus. Good guide. The actual park was very patriotic and humbling. Informative. Well done. Our kids enjoyed it.
I chose the movie village tour and cruise. I was worried because I had a one-and-a-half-year-old child with me, but we had a great time. It was also nice that lunch was included. The movie village tour was excellent, and the guide was very good.
映画村ツアーとクルーズを選択しました。1歳半の子供を連れていったので、心配しましたが、とても楽しむことができました。ランチもついていたのでとてもよかったです。
映画村ツアーもガイドさんがとてもよかったです。
My childern, ages 16 and 21, and I had the best time on the Sunset Cruise! It was one the top highlights of our vacation in Hawaii! The crew members were awesome! They took care of all of our needs. They took many pictures of me and my children and a couple of "selfies"! They were so much fun!! Everyone on the cruise seemed to be having a blast! The even caught a huge mahi mahi while fishing! We saw a beautiful rainbow and a little of another one to make a double rainbow! We had so much fun, we didn't want it to end! Thanks for a fantastic time!!
The sea was beautiful, anyway!
I saw a sea turtle from a distance.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I enjoyed seeing the coral too!
It was great that I could first challenge myself in the shallow waters!
The staff were so cheerful! It was reassuring that the Japanese staff provided clear explanations.
The handmade hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
The freshly grilled patty was juicy!
とにかく海が綺麗でした!
遠目でしたが、海ガメも見れました。
初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、珊瑚も見れて楽しめました(*^^*)
浅瀬でまずチャレンジできたのがよかった!
スタッフの方がとにかく陽気!日本人のスタッフがきちんと説明してくれて安心でした。
船で食べた手作りハンバーガーが美味しかったです!
焼きたてのパテがジューシーでした!
Nice bay and nice service for a fair preis. Thank you
The plan to play with dolphins was fantastic. I was worried about the water being cold after reading some comments, but it wasn't cold at all for the 11 AM plan! Plus, we got to touch the dolphins multiple times, and they seemed to enjoy it; they really like humans. After getting out of the water, we took a quick shower and then watched the show, so our swimsuits dried quickly. There was even a child around 2 years old who participated while being held. There are explanations in Japanese as well.
We wandered around the park from around 9 AM, participated in the event at 11 AM, watched the show at noon, and then took a break with some ice cream... before we knew it, it was time to head home. Of course, you get dirty from being in the pool, but a quick shower is all you need. There are changing rooms, but I think it's best to come dressed as if you're at the beach.
イルカと戯れるプラン。腰までの入水、コメントを見て水が冷たそうだと心配していたのですが…11時からのプランだったら全然寒くない!!しかもイルカに何度も何度も触ることもできて、イルカもそれを楽しんでいる、人間が好きみたい^^水から上がると、シャワー浴びてすぐにショーを見れば水着もすぐに乾くw2歳くらいの子供も抱っこされて参加してましたよ。日本語の説明もあります。
9時ごろからパーク内をうろうろ→11時イベントに参加→12時ショーを見て→アイスでも食べて休憩…としているうちに帰る時間になりました。
もちろんプールに入るので汚れます、シャワーをササッと浴びるだけです。更衣室はありますが、海辺にいるくらいのつもりの恰好で来るのがいいかと思います。
It was a bit cold since it was the sea in January, but I got to see a sea turtle, and the location was amazing!
The barbecue lunch was delicious, and I was very satisfied!
1月の海だったので少し寒かったのですが、
ウミガメにも会えたし最高のロケーションでした♪
バーベキューのお昼ご飯も美味しかったし大満足でした(^_-)-☆
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour.
We're glad you got to meet the Honu, which is said to bring happiness. Please come back to Paradise of the Sea when you visit Hawaii again.
We look forward to welcoming you, along with the sea turtles, Rie!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
幸せを運んでくると呼ばれるHonuに会えてよかったですね。またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ天国の海に遊びに来てくださいね。
Rie様のお越しをウミガメとともにお待ちしてます。
Wow, what a wonderful crew, boat and view.
These guys are serious about safety in a humorous way. The crew was attentive and hard working while making the experience fun for all.
We saw spinner dolphins. Then moved on to snorkeling with fish and turtles. The fins, snorkels and masks were great. They had sizes to fit everyone. Lunch and mai-tai's were wonderful as well. We were additionally impressed that they cared about the ocean environment.
Highly recommend these guys! Thanks for the great memories!
My boyfriend and i really had fun snorkeling thou it's our first time doing it don't even know how to swim still we loved it..Staffs did a well done execellent job..We got to see lovely sea turtles & snorkel in d' ocean by d' reef (seen a lot of fishes) & a panoramic amazingly beautiful view of d' island..will definitely recommend this activities for everyone whose visiting Oahu..Enjoy!
It was bloody amazing. So worth the money. Do it, you won't regret it.
