Oahu
The tour guide on the drive out was great, very friendly. Gear worked well and was clean. We got chairs and an umbrella which was really nice since we were there a while. I didn’t love the actual bay, however. The snorkeling was only okay and we didn’t see nearly as many types of fish as I would have expected for a place boosting great snorkeling. I have been to better. The reef was also super shallow so hard to navigate around the sections safely without touching the coral. It also was very sandy so the view wasn’t clear. Overall I would not pick this activity again just since the snorkeling wasn’t great. However, the driver and equipment was great so I didn’t want to knock their rating down just because the experience wasn’t amazing.
Been wanting to do this for years
Got to see history in real life and see where all those men lived and worked
Photos of signing of surrender and military men of the past.
Even where a kamakize pilot flew into the ship and photos
Great adventure
Will recommend to my friends and family
It seems to be a lesser-known facility for Japanese tourists, and while it's a bit away from Waikiki Beach, it was a very fulfilling museum. It compactly summarized not only the history of Hawaii but also the history of the volcanoes in the state, making it very educational for museum lovers. I wanted to see the planetarium show "The Hawaiian Sky Tonight," but it was only screened in the morning, so I couldn't catch it. I would like to go again.
日本人観光客にはマイナーな施設のようであり、ワイキキビーチから少し離れていますが、とても充実したミュージアムでした。ハワイの歴史だけでなくハワイ州の火山の歴史についてもコンパクトにまとめられており、ミュージアム好きには大変勉強になりました。プラネタリウムの「The Hawaiian Sky Tonight」も観たかったのですが、午前中のみの上映で観れませんでした。また行きたいです。
Thank you for visiting the Bishop Museum! We also appreciate your warm comments. We apologize for not being able to provide the program you hoped to see at the planetarium. However, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both the main exhibit hall and the Science Adventure Center. Please do stop by again when you visit Hawaii! We look forward to seeing you! ALOHA!
ビショップミュージアムへのご来館、ありがとうございました!またこちらへの温かいコメントも頂きましたこと、御礼申し上げます。プラネタリウムはご希望のプログラムをご覧頂けず、申し訳ございませんでした。しかしメインの展示館とサイエンス館、両方の展示をお楽しみ頂けたようで私共も嬉しい限りです。またハワイにお越しの際は是非お立ち寄り下さい!お待ちしております!ALOHA!
My wife, who can't swim, was pulled along on a board during snorkeling, and we received various instructions, allowing us to see the underwater world (we even saw turtles).
シュノーケリングの時に泳げない妻を
ボードで引っ張ってくれて色々と指導も
してくれたので海中(亀も見れました)も
見る事ができました。
Thank you very much for the five-star comment! We are very pleased to hear that your wife enjoyed the sandbar and snorkeling. Please do come back again on your next opportunity. All of our staff are looking forward to the day we can meet again.
5星コメント、誠にありがとうございます!奥様もサンドバー、シュノーケリングを満喫できた様で大変嬉しく思います。
またの機会には是非、遊びに来てくださいませ。再会できる日をスタッフ一同楽しみにお待ちしております。
My husband and I did the half-day tour which included; the movie set tour on Kualoa Ranch and the boat ride. I thought we were actually going to stay at secret Beach for a little bit, but we did not. The movie tour was made, especially memorable by our awesome tour guide. She was hilarious and made the whole experience that much better. It’s an absolutely beautiful place and we enjoyed learning about the working ranch, and the Hawaiian culture. The buffet lunch in between both tours was also very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour.
It was a great way to start the day. The ship was huge and comfortable. The multiple levels of the boat allowed different viewing experiences. We saw many whales. A bit far from the whales, but you don't want to scare the whales!
The staff was very knowledgeable and we learned a few new things about the whale.
Recommend it!
I participated in a whale watching tour for the first time. I was surprised by how big the boat was! There were a lot of customers as well. Since it’s a natural occurrence, the whales didn’t show up easily. Just when we were about to give up and head back to the dock, my eldest son shouted loudly, and when I looked over, a whale was just about to jump, which was very moving! It was really just a moment, so I couldn’t take any pictures. But seeing it up close became a wonderful memory. I definitely recommend participating at least once!
初めてホエールウォッチングのツアーに参加しました。
とても大きな船で、びっくりしました!!
お客さんもいっぱいでした。
自然のものなので、なかなか現れず。。諦めて帰ろうと船着場に向かっているときに長男が大声を出したので、そちらを見たらクジラがちょうどJUMPするところでとても感動しました!!
ほんと一瞬だったので、写真はとれず。でも間近で見れてとてもよい思い出になりました。
ぜひ一度参加して見てください。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to observe the whales jumping. 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。
クジラのジャンプをご観測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。
We went as a family with our 4-year-old daughter. Since we included transportation to and from the hotel, we felt安心 (at ease) during our trip. We were able to see whales three times. The view from the sea was also very beautiful, so we were glad we participated.
4歳娘を連れて家族で行きました。
ホテルまでの送迎も付けたので行き帰りも安心でした。
クジラも3回見られました。
海からの景色もとても綺麗なので、参加して良かったです。
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.

Loved the hole experience and the captain made it even better he went above and beyond to make this day great! He was very helpful the hole time very funny and explained everything very well.
Aloha , thank you so much for choosing our tour and thank you for your 5 star superb review! Sounds like you had a really great time with our staff. Happy to hear that you got to enjoy the beautiful Kaneohe bay . Come back and visit us again . Mahalo !!
Loved the tour guides. The water was abnormally choppy on my trip, I wish I had taken Dramamine. The snacks were well suited for the tour. The boat is great and overall really cool. I brought a 4 and 1 year old. We saw at least 4 sea turtles and they showed us star fish. I will go again.
Had a great time the crew was so friendly and helped to take pictures and even played volleyball with the group. The boat was very nice as well lots of seating and a restroom on it. Lunch was good burgers were tasty overall the only down fall was no cold water after the first like 15 min. So I would suggest bringing and insulated bottle thats filled. Would for sure recommend and do it again!
We participated as a couple in March, and the weather was great!
However, the seawater was a bit cold, so I wish we had a jacket to wear when we got out!
3月に夫婦で参加しましたが、天候もよく最高でした!
ただ、海水はやや冷たかったので、上がった際に着れるような上着が1枚あればと思います!
Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Reef Tour. The photos of Heart Reef turned out beautifully. The sandbar shows different faces depending on the season, so if you have another opportunity, please come and visit us again.
この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへご参加頂きましてありがとうございます。ハートリーフのお写真もとても良く撮れていて素敵ですね。季節によって違う顔をみせてくれるサンドバー、またの機会がございましたら是非遊びに来てくださいませ。
We had a wonderful time everyone and everything made our time special love it
First of all, the waiter who attended us was very attentive and had just the right amount of brightness without being pushy. The dinner was delicious, and many people of all ages seemed to be quite full. When the fireworks started, everyone moved to the side to watch, and the boat tilted noticeably. But apparently, that's okay. The live performance was wonderful, and the MC singer was good too! For those on the Five Star, you go up to the fourth floor, but there was a smoking area outside on the same floor, which was appreciated by smokers who feel a bit out of place. Also... the inside of the boat is cold!!! Perhaps because Westerners tend to have a higher body temperature than Japanese people... if you're attending in a sleeveless, thin dress, it might get really chilly, so please be careful.
まず、ついてくれたウエイターの方はよく気がつくし、しつこくないくらいの明るさで丁度良かったです。
ディナーも美味しく老若男女割とお腹いっぱいになっていた方が多かったです。
花火が始まると皆さま一斉に花火側へ移動されるので、分かりやすいくらい船が傾いてました。笑
が、大丈夫だそうです。
生演奏も素敵でしたしMCの歌い手の方もgoodでした!
ファイブスターの方は四階へ上がりますが同フロアの外に喫煙所がありました。
肩身の狭い喫煙者には有り難かったです。
後…船内は寒いです!!!
欧米の方々は、日本人より体温が高めだからか…
ノースリ薄手のワンピで参加となると、めちゃくちゃ冷えるかもなのでお気を付けてください。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful time on our cruise. We hope to see you again soon. 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。
私共のクルーズで楽しい時間をお過ごし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 the second time that we Visit the range every time we do a different tour and they always exceeded our expectation. Our tour guy was awesome and every time we learn more history about the island. I definitely recommend
This was an awesome way to see, hear and taste the Hawaiian culture! The activities were informative, enjoyable and engaging!
Great activity for a family, group of friends or even a classroom!
I participated with my six-year-old daughter. The guide was entirely in English, but before the tour, a Japanese coordinator explained everything thoroughly, so I had no worries about joining. The bus arrived right on time, which was reassuring.
During the tour, I felt like I enjoyed it more than my daughter, but there were some light hiking activities along the way, which made it an active and enjoyable experience. I thought that once my daughter is a bit older, I would like to participate in horseback riding and movie tours as well.
Both the outbound and return buses were clean and spacious, which was a great help. My child did not get motion sickness at all. There are no restrooms on the bus, so make sure to take care of that beforehand.
六歳の娘と参加しました。全て英語のガイドでしたが、ツアーに参加する前に日本人のコーディネーターさんが丁寧に説明してくれて、参加に不安はありませんでした。バスも時間丁度に来てくれ、安心しました。
ツアー自体は、娘より私のほうが楽しんでいる感はありましたが、途中で軽い山登りなどもあり、アクティブに楽しめました。もう少し娘が大きくなったら、乗馬や映画ツアーなどにも参加したいなぁと思いました。
行きも帰りもバスがきれいでゆったりしていたのが助かりました。子供も特に酔うことはありませんでした。トイレは車内にないので、しっかり済ませておきましょう。
This was by far the best cruise excursion I have ever participated in, and I’ve done quite a few on Oahu.
Pickup was well organized and on time. The ride out to the boat was pleasant.
The crew in itself felt like family. They were the nicest people, very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Captain even jumped in the water with the kids and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Bbq lunch was great.
We saw manta rays and turtles that came right up to the boat,it was a really wonderful day and I can’t tell them thank you enough.
I will absolutely book this again next time we visit.
If you're considering this cruise I highly recommend you book it. The day we went out the weather wasn't the greatest however, the crew more than made up for that. They are fun, engaging and knowledgable. We had a blast the entire day. Lunch was really good and we had a very enjoyable time!
If you want to take a break from the walking, shopping, and hotel hustle and bustle around Waikiki I suggest a sunset dinner cruise on the Star of Honolulu.
The five star experience on the top deck Nova Room is a relaxing evening filled with well-made bar drinks, superior cuisine, piano and mood music, and sparkling views of coastal O'ahu.
The Nova Room experience is a step above the normal pricing for the cruise, but is a good value for all you receive.
I especially enjoyed the time to talk and relax with my wife, to enjoy the coastal scenery, and to savor the various courses of the dinner as described in the promotional materials.
The service was excellent throughout the evening and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the Nova Room experience on the forth deck of the Star of Honolulu.
I had a great time getting soaked at the front of the boat in the ocean. It was so much fun! Also, the movie location tour was great because I got to see various places.
オーシャンで船の先に捕まり波を受けてずぶ濡れになって楽しみました。最高に楽しかったです。あと映画ロケ地巡りツアーはいろいろ見れてよかったです。
Had an amazing time with Captain Bruce on the Kaneohe sand bar cruise! From the get-go, Jeff, Josiah, and Karen were super kind and welcoming, making sure everyone on board felt at ease. They had snacks and drinks ready for us, which was a nice touch.
One of the highlights for me was definitely swimming with the turtles. It’s not every day you get to do that! And I’ve got to give a special shoutout to Karen. She was a real star, especially with my mom who's a bit uneasy in the water. Karen made sure she felt safe and enjoyed her snorkeling experience. Plus, the way she helped us retrieve my dad's forgotten sunglasses turned into a hilarious moment we all shared.
This trip is a must-do for families looking for a fun and memorable day out on the water. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with them. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!
Aloha Joseph, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce for your family trip, and for sharing this review! We appreciate your recognition of Jeff, Josiah, and Karen. Their attentiveness and welcoming demeanor are hallmarks of our exceptional crew, and we are grateful for their dedication to ensuring every guest feels comfortable and enjoys their time on the water. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone, especially Karen!
Again, thank you so much for recommending our tour.
We look forward to welcoming you back aboard for another exceptional adventure in the future. A hui hou
We boarded a boat and landed on the sandbar. It was a strange sensation to be in the middle of the ocean yet find sand beneath us. It was a bit chilly during this time.
船に乗って、サンドバーに上陸。
海のど真ん中なのに、サンドがある不思議な感覚を味わえました。この時期は少し寒かった。
Thank you for choosing the Captain Bruce's Paradise Sea Tour from among the many optional tours available. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to experience the mysterious and captivating beauty of the sandbar. All of our staff look forward to your next participation!
この度は数あるオプショナルツアーの中よりキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーをお選び頂きましてありがとうございました。サンドバーの不思議でとても魅力的な姿を体験して頂けたようで大変嬉しく思います。スタッフ一同、またのご参加をお待ちしております!
Great 1st impression in Hawaii! It was so welcoming!! Friendly, helped us get where we needed to go for rental car.
Aloha Brenda! Thank you for your review of Jenna! She is one of our newest staff members, and she brings up the sweetest vibes. We are glad she was able to assist you to where you needed to go, and we hope you had a wonderful stay on the island~ Mahalo Nui Loa!
We participated as a couple over the age of 60. Since we were there, we decided to go to the top floor. We dressed in a way that didn't require us to touch the code. By the window, there were couples from various countries who seemed to be newlyweds, immersed in their own world, while the center seats were mostly families enjoying their meals, the scenery, and jazz. During the Memorial Day event, there was a sense of unity in celebration, but everyone enjoyed themselves at their own pace at their respective tables. Of course, we also had a leisurely and relaxed time.
The entrance to the stern was close, and it was great to see the fireworks as well as the hotel buildings on both sides. After the fireworks, when I held the door to keep it from closing like a doorman, everyone thanked me. Even a Japanese person said thank you, and we all laughed together as we realized we were fellow passengers. The food was delicious, and the portions were just right. My wife was also satisfied and very happy. Unfortunately, there was no welcome from the captain. I hope for improvement in that area. This year, I would like to try a different deck.
還暦を過ぎた夫婦2人で参加しました。折角ならと最上階へ。コードに触れない程度の服装で参加しました。窓際は新婚さんと思しき各国のカップルさんが、自分達の世界に浸り、センター席はファミリーが多く思い思いに食事、風景、ジャズを楽しんでいました。メモリアルデーイベントでは、お祝いで一体感となりましたが、各自のテーブルごとそれぞれのペースで楽しんでいました。勿論我々ものんびり、ゆったりの時間でした。
船尾への出入り口が近く、花火は勿論、ホテル群が左右に見渡せ良かったです。
花火の後、ドアマンの如くドアが閉まるのを抑えていたら、皆さんにサンキュウと言われました。日本人の方にも言われ、乗客の一人ですとお互い大笑いでした。
料理は美味しく、量も丁度良かったです。妻も満足し、大変喜んでいました。
残念ながら、船長出迎えは有りませんでした。改善を望みます。
今年は別のデッキにトライしたいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise as a couple. We are very pleased to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy your time with us. We appreciate your kind words about the meals and the fireworks on Friday. We hope to see you again soon. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
この度は私共のクルーズにご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。
私共のクルーズでリラックスしたお時間をお過ごし頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。お食事や金曜日の花火も気に入っていただき有難うございます。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。
Family had great time..had a little rain but it rains every day here in Honolulu and didn’t stop anything and had a rainbow after..would definitely recommend this Luau…
Loved the tour and was fun to see where all the movies were shot! Our guide was amazing! Would highly recommend going with your family! We only did the movie tour but there are a lot of other tours that seemed great!
While my child was playing alone, a local child came over and played together with them a lot! Although some areas closed due to the strong wind, the slides and kids' area were well-equipped, and there were about three staff members in each area, which made me feel safe.
子どもが1人で遊んでいたら、現地の子が声をかけてくれて、たくさん一緒に遊んでくれました!
風が強くて、途中からクローズしてしまった所もありましたが、滑り台もキッズエリアも充実していて、監視員さんが1エリアに3人くらいいて安心です。
We enjoyed the cruise very much very enjoyable nice weather
It was a cool experience. We seen all kinds of fish, turtles, starfish and a shark. Definitely worth the experience the crew was great and knowledgeable. I would definitely go again
