Oahu
Our driver was very friendly, and seemed to know a lot of information on the sites we were seeing in Honolulu. Was a very good way to visit the Arizona memorial - would definitely recommend visitors to Honolulu to check out this tour.
Can't say enough. From beginning to end. Easy pickup and drop off from location in Waikiki,
The whole experience from the friendly, accommodating staff. The hot off the grill burgers hit the spot .
Wanted to go s second time before leaving the island, but ran out of time.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Definitely book this one.
Mahalo to the crew
The driver kindly explained about Hanauma in English. They repeatedly mentioned what not to do, so I understood. Before entering Hanauma, they gave us life jackets at the cliff viewpoint. If you have any additional items, it's a good idea to mention them at this time. Once we arrived at Hanauma, we gathered with the same group of guests to pool together $25 for admission. I think it’s a good idea to bring a mat or something to relax on the beach in advance. It was very kind and I had a lot of fun snorkeling.
英語にはなりますがドライバーさんが丁寧にハナウマについて説明してくれます。
やってはいけないことは何度も言うので理解できました。
ハナウマに入る前に崖の展望台でライフジャケットをくれました。他の追加品があればこの時に言いましょう。
そしてハナウマに着いたら同じグループの客で集まって25ドルもまとめ合い、ハナウマに入場します。
ビーチで休むためのシートなどを事前に持っていくといいと思います。
すごく親切で楽しくスノーケリングを楽しめました。
It was a tour where we could casually enjoy the unique nature of Hawaii. My wife has had a bit less stamina since she was in a wheelchair for about ten months a few years ago, but we are grateful for the support from the very energetic staff member, Tomomi! When you come to Hawaii, this kind of nature also helps detox your mind. I highly recommend this! Tomomi, keep up the great work!
ハワイならではの大自然を気軽に楽しめるツアーでした。家内が数年前に車椅子を10ヶ月ほど乗っていた関係で多少体力が少ないのですが、とっても元気なスタッフのトモミさんがサポートしてくれて感謝!ハワイに来たら、こんな大自然が心のデトックスもしてくれます。これもおすすめ!トモミさん、これからも頑張ってね!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are very happy to hear that you were able to enjoy the great outdoors of Hawaii so easily. We also appreciate your kind words about our guide, Tomomi. I will be sure to pass this message on to her. It seems you were able to experience the beauty of Hawaii's nature, and our entire staff is truly grateful! We look forward to your next participation with us!
素敵なご感想をありがとうございます!ハワイの大自然を気軽に楽しんでいただけたとのことで、とても嬉しいです。また、弊社ガイドのトモミへのありがたいお言葉もありがとうございます。トモミにもこのお言葉をお伝えさせていただきます。ハワイの自然の素晴らしさを感じていただけたようで、スタッフ一同感無量です!次回のご参加も、心よりお待ちしております!
Great place, second time I go there. Pretty spot quiet and peaceful with a lot of activities such as jenga, ping pong etc. They also have cool activities.
Highly recommend
It was a great experience! The activities were fun and educational! Great family environment! Wonderful performances, amazing performers, good food and drinks! The best activity and experience on our vacation! You have to go!
My husband and I had a good time on the cruise. The food was good and the show was fun!
You know how you can never quite describe the atmosphere, moments and beauty of something? That was this experience. From a long distance traveler- this was once in a lifetime. Tell everyone you know and bring them with you. 10/10.
The captains were very friendly and kind. There was a wide variety of snacks and drinks, and the spam onigiri was especially great.
I was also glad to catch a glimpse of the sea turtles.
Unfortunately, the snorkeling was quite crowded. Moving in a large group felt like being in a packed train, making it far from an enjoyable snorkeling experience. Other activities were fun, though.
キャプテンたちがとてもフレンドリーで親切でした。
スナック類やドリンクも豊富で、特にスパムおにぎりは最高でした。
ウミガメもちらっと見る事ができて良かったです。
残念なのはシュノーケリングの人口密度。大人数で一斉に移動するため、前後左右ぎっしりでぶつかりながらの移動。満員電車の中のようなシュノーケリングで楽しむというには程遠い感じです。その他のアクティビティは楽しかったです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. We appreciate your feedback and will consider it for improving our future tour offerings. We would be delighted if you could join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to that day.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はツアーにご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございました。
頂きましたご意見は今度のツアー内容の向上に生かせればと考えて思います。
次回ハワイにお越しの際もぜひ天国の海までお超し頂けると嬉しいです。その日を心よりお待ちしております。
I went for the first time this year. When we got on the boat, it was raining, but I was glad that it stopped by the time we arrived at the sandbar. The water was knee-deep in some areas, which made it enjoyable. We could also rent SUPs and had a great time. There was a Japanese-speaking guide who provided support. They took us snorkeling, and we were able to see plenty of turtles. The guide helped us, a couple in our 60s, with snorkeling, and we could just float around. I want to go again next year. I think it would be wonderful if it were sunny. It was already so great even with the rain and clouds, so I'm looking forward to going again next year. There is a website that checks the tide levels at the sandbar, so I recommend looking it up and choosing a day with low tide when making a reservation. It’s a wonderful world where you can experience the ocean in 360 degrees.
今年初めて行きました。
ボートに乗った時は、雨が降っていたけどサンドバーに到着したときは案がやんでよかった。
深さは膝ぐらいのところもあり楽しむことができました。
SUPなども借りることができ良い時間を過ごすことができます。
日本語を話すガイドがおりサポートしてくれます。
シュノーケリングに連れて行ってくれますが、亀が見放題の状態でした。
我々60代の夫婦の手を引いてシュノーケリングをさせてくれ浮かんでいるだけでよい状態でした。
来年も行きたい。快晴だったらどんなにいいだろうと思う。
雨曇りであれだけよかったので来年も行こうと楽しみにしています。
サンドバーの潮位を調べるサイトがあるので、予約するときはぜひ覗いて潮位の低い日を選ぶことをお勧めします。
360度海の中で体験できる素晴らしい世界です。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. We sincerely look forward to seeing you again next year, along with the honu (sea turtles).
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。
ツアーを楽しんで頂けたとお聞きし大変嬉しく思います。また来年お会いできる日をホヌたちとともに心よりお待ちしております。
I would do this again and again, the crew is wonderful and energetic just great people to spend the day with! Volleyball, burgers, snorkeling oh my!
Easy entry process, meet by dance troop and greeted by crew member. Scored a very nice table by the window. Staff were warm and friendly and our first free drink was delivered promptly. Food was good and plentiful and stayed out as long as people kept going up. Show was as expected with all staff taking part. We did the fireworks night which was fab. Only real complaint was with the Sunset, the sun didn't com out to play :).
We enjoyed the evening thank you
We had a great time, our tour guide was very nice and friendly. We recommend the experience, the views are amazing, a lot of Hawaiian history.
I visited Hanauma Bay for the first time in two years. It was early in the morning, but the water wasn't as cold as I expected. The fish swimming around are always the same. This time, there was someone who was visiting Hanauma for the first time, so I made a reservation, but the entrance fee is a bit high, so I think it might be good for a while. The driver was handsome and helped by purchasing the entrance tickets all together. The snorkeling set and life jackets were clean.
2年ぶりのハナウマベイに行ってきました。朝一でしたが、予想より水は冷たくなかったです。泳いでる魚は毎回同じです。今回、初ハナウマの人がいたので申込みしましたが、入場料もかるし、とうぶんいいかなぁと思います。ドライバーさんはイケメンで、入場チケットの購入をまとめて購入してくれて、助かりました。シュノーケルセット、ライフジャケットは綺麗でした。
At the entrance, there were commemorative coins to choose from, which was fun! I didn't bring a towel since it would be extra luggage and I planned to buy one as a souvenir, but I was able to purchase it at the shop as planned, and I still love using the bath towel.
入り口に記念コインがあり数種類選べて楽しかったです♪
タオルが荷物になるのと記念に購入しようと持ち込みませんでしたが、予定通り売店で買えて、バスタオルは今も気に入って使っています。
I was very satisfied with the tour because I was able to swim with dolphins in the beautiful sea. However, I think it's better not to have overly high expectations for the Japanese guide, as they provide only minimal interpretation and assistance.
綺麗な海でイルカと泳ぐ事ができたので、ツアー自体は大満足です。但し、日本語ガイドさんは、最低限の通訳、お世話しかしないので、過度な期待はしない方が良いと思います。
Dear ark0605,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I am very pleased to hear that you were able to swim with dolphins in the beautiful sea on the day of the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations due to a lack of communication from the Japanese guide. We will share this matter with all Japanese guides and strive to ensure that our customers are more satisfied in the future. If you have the opportunity, we would be delighted to have you join Dolphin University again. We look forward to welcoming you back.
ark0605様。この度はイルカ大学にご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー当日は美しい海でイルカと泳ぐことができたとお聞きし、大変嬉しく思っております。しかしながら、日本語ガイドのコミュニケーション不足により、お客様のご期待に添えなかったことを心よりお詫び申し上げます。この件については、日本語ガイド全員に情報を共有し、今後はより一層お客様にご満足いただけるよう努力してまいります。また機会がありましたら、ぜひイルカ大学にご参加頂けますと幸いです。お客様のお越しを心よりお待ちしています。
I thought the male server was wonderful with his passionate service towards the store and his work. A few hours before my visit, I had eaten shaved ice, so I was quite full. I checked with a Japanese staff member if I could take my food home, and they wrapped it beautifully. The next day, I warmed it up at the hotel and enjoyed it deliciously.
テーブル担当の男性がお店や仕事への愛が溢れる接客で素晴らしいと思いました。来店数時間前にシェイブアイスを食べた為、お腹がいっぱいになってしまい持ち帰りできるか日本人スタッフの方に確認したところ綺麗に包んでいただき翌日ホテルで温めて美味しくいただきました。
I made a reservation for a date without checking the tide levels, but it turned out to be just when the tide was coming in, and the water level at the sandbar was around my waist. Last time it was about ankle-deep, so I felt a bit disappointed and reduced my rating by one star.
You can check the tide levels at <https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart>. However, compared to the last time when the weather was mixed with rain, this time there were more sunny intervals, so I felt like I got a bit of a revenge on that front.
The tour I participated in last time had a lot of marine activities, but this time I was mainly looking forward to the BBQ hamburgers. The patties grilled on the BBQ set on the boat were delicious. As for activities, I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling. I was able to choose not to wear a life jacket for snorkeling, which allowed me to enjoy skin diving (the last tour required a life jacket). I also encountered a lot of sea turtles.
A local staff member asked if my wife was a local, but at first, I didn’t understand what was being said, which was a bit amusing.
潮位を確認せずに行ける日程で予約しましたが、結果はちょうど潮が満ちてくる時間帯で、サンドバーでの水位は腰のあたりでした。前回は踝くらいだったので、残念な感じで星一つ減。
潮位は、<https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart> とかで調べられます。
しかし、前回の天気は雨混じりだったのに比べると今回は晴れ間が多かったので、そこはリベンジできたかな。
前回参加したツアーはマリンアクティビティが豊富でしたが、今回のツアーはBBQハンバーガー目当て。船上のBBQセットで焼かれたパテが美味いこと。
アクティビティとしては、ビーチバレーとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングはライフジャケットを付けないのも選択できたので、私としてはスキンダイビングも出来て楽しめました(前回のツアーはライフジャケット必須だった)。ホヌにも沢山遭遇することが出来ましたし。
ロコのスタッフから、私の妻はロコなのかと訊かれたのですが、最初何を言われているのか解らなかったのは御愛嬌。
I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The guide was Japanese, and the entire trip was conducted in Japanese.
The activities included visiting the sandbar, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling, and we were very satisfied with the lunch, which was a charcoal-grilled hamburger.
By the way, alcohol is available for purchase, but soft drinks are free.
I was worried about whether my kids could snorkel since they are small, but they provided equipment for children, and there were no issues at all. The kids had an absolute blast.
One area for improvement would be to create a changing room. I wondered about the lack of a place to change on the way back. A few poorly mannered Japanese individuals were changing in the long line for the restroom stalls.
We had to ride the bus in wet swimsuits, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold. Since there’s no place to change, I think it’s a good idea to bring extra bath towels to cover up on the way back.
Other than that, it was fantastic.
8歳と6歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
ガイドさんは日本人で、道中はオール日本語です。
サンドバー、ホヌ見学、シュノーケリングに加え、お昼ご飯は炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーで大満足のアクティビティでした。
ちなみにアルコールは有料ですが、ソフトドリンクは無料で頂けます。
子供達が小さいのでシュノーケリングが出来るか心配でしたが、子供用の装備も用意されており、全く問題ありませんでした。
子供達はめちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。
一点改善して欲しいところは、更衣室を作って欲しいです。
帰りに着替えれないところはどうなのと思いました。
マナーの悪い日本人が数名、長蛇列のトイレ個室で着替えてました。
濡れた水着でバスに乗るのですが、エアコンが効き過ぎてて寒くなりました。
着替えれないので、帰りに体を覆えるようにバスタオルは多めに持参が良いと思います。
それ以外は最高でした。
It was a fish similar to a flatfish, so I wished we could have changed spots more often with the fish finder. I really think Japanese fishing boats are the best. It's perfect for sightseeing.
カワハギ的な魚だから魚探で見れてもっとポイント変えてほしかったです。やっぱ日本の釣り船が最強と思いました。観光には最高です。
Thank you for your review! We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the fishing experience from a sightseeing perspective. We understand your desire to see fish like the flathead using a fish finder, but our bottom fishing casting techniques are specially designed to increase the chances of catching these unique fish. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you on another adventure!
レビューありがとうございます!釣り体験の観光面もお楽しみいただけたご様子で大変嬉しく思います。カワハギのような魚を魚群探知機で見たいという気持ちはわかりますが、私たちの底釣りのキャストテクニックは、これらのユニークな魚を捕まえる可能性を高めるために特別に設計されています。フィードバックに感謝いたします。また別の冒険でお会いできることを楽しみにしています。
Outstanding a great reminder why peace is the ultimate goal in life
There were some language issues, but the driver was kind. Hanauma Bay was very beautiful and amazing. I want to go again.
若干言葉の問題はありますがドライバーさんも親切でした。ハナウマベイとても綺麗で最高でした。また、行きたいです。
Initially, I only reserved the shuttle, but since I was traveling alone, I joined the tour for peace of mind. It was great that they also took photos for us.
During lunchtime, I shared a sandwich with another solo participant, and we were able to try two different kinds, which made for a fun time. Thank you very much.
当初、シャトルのみを予約していましたが
一人旅なので安心の為にツアーに参加しました。
写真も撮ってくださったので良かったです。
ランチタイムも一人参加の方とご一緒し
サンドイッチをシェアして2種類食べることができ、楽しいひとときでした。
ありがとうございました。

Ok, ok. This was my first luau but still, in my opinion, it was the greatest luau you could attended. From start to finish, period! From the time you get picked up the host in the bus doesn’t shut up. I’m kidding. He is great. He entertains you with a comedian style performance to break the ice on your way to the Luau. Who doesn’t like to be entertained. This is better than sitting in a boring 15 minute/ half hour ride. lol. Then you get neckless beads, amazing. Make sure you’re as hungry as a lion cause there is a lot of FOOD. You will gain 10Lbs easy. Then the best awaits. Many different cultural warrior dances both male and female. But they save the best for last. The warrior fire dance. The begging slowly so you won’t poop your pants with so much fire. Talented warriors swinging fire, AMAZING. And if you are celebrating a b-day or anniversary… man you’re in for a treat. Oh did I mention the also take complimentary pictures . Keeps getting better. I’d tell you more but just book the show and see for yourself self.
It was ok for the most part. I just felt rushed from what supposed to be half of day ended up being a 1/4 of the day. I just wish hours were long didn’t really get to enjoy the island as family.
Private table is not Private at all, you have about 2ft at the most between tables. Service was slow we were told by the server he was covering our area due to another employee not showing up. It took a while to get drinks or water refilled. They don't have condiments available for your meal. It was very warm during dinner and the sun was blinding. Take sunglasses. The top deck was a great area to get some air. There was a large amount of guest and I thought they do a pretty good job handling the amount of people on board but it may be too many for the guest to have a truly great experience
I was picked up from the hotel, and it took about an hour to get to the port, but being on the boat was amazing! The weather was bad, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the delicious hamburgers and the abundance of sea turtles and tropical fish were so incredible that my child hesitated to swim. ✨ The tour guides were friendly, attentive, and all very nice. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I'm glad we booked the tour. I hope we can see the sandbar next time!
ホテルに迎えに来てもらって港までの1時間かかったけど、船の上は最高でした!天気が悪くサンドバー見れなかったけど、美味しいハンバーガーとたくさんのウミガメ、熱帯魚がいっぱいすぎて子供が泳ぐのを躊躇してしまったほど海は素晴らしかったです✨
ツアーガイドの人も気さくで、よく気が付く、良い方ばかりでした
初めてのハワイ旅行だったのですがツアーを組んでよかったねです
次回はサンドバーが見れますように!
The bus pickup time is early.
Once we arrived, we had plenty of time.
The exploration tour allowed us to enjoy unpaved roads.
The guide was kind and made time for us to get out of the car and take photos.
While Honolulu was mainly about the ocean, we also enjoyed the mountains, making it a great experience.
バス送迎の集合時間は早めです。
着いてからは時間に余裕がありました。
探検ツアーは未舗装路が楽しめます。
車を降りて写真撮影タイムを作ってくれたりと、
ガイドさんが親切でした。
ホノルルは海メインでしたが、山も楽しめてよい体験になりました。
This experience was amazing! The waterfall swim was the perfect way to begin the adventure. And then the luau itself was incredible. Much love and respect for the awesome drummers, dancers, fire spinners, and the kindness shown by all. Highly recommend!
We experienced this on the day we arrived in Hawaii.
We participated in a tour that lasted about two and a half hours, and we were the only Japanese people there. We took a boat to the location of the submarine, and on the way, we encountered turtles and dolphins.
We moved to the submarine and began our dive. The underwater scenery was very beautiful and had high visibility, with many sunken ships and planes. The interior was cool and comfortable. There were also bags available on the submarine for anyone who felt unwell.
All the explanations were in English, but I didn't think it was very necessary.
We smoothly handed our Veltra voucher to the receptionist.
ハワイ到着日に体験しました。
2時間半程のツアーに参加し日本人は私達だけでした。
潜水艦の場所まで船で行き、そこまで行くのに亀やイルカに出会うことが出来ました。
潜水艦に移動し、潜水。
海の中はとても綺麗で透明度が高く、沈没船・飛行機など沢山沈んでいました。
室内は涼しく快適でした。
気分が悪くなった人用に袋も潜水艦には完備してありました。
全て英語の説明でしたが、あまり必要ではなかったと思います。
ベルトラのバウチャーを持って受付の人にお渡しスムーズに行けました。
