Oahu
Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was great, the views were breathtaking and the entertainment was fun! The pictures were a delight and our neighbors at the next table were nice. Overall, a great experience.
It's December, so it can't be helped. There are no Japanese staff, but it’s not a problem. It's a permanent two-tap setup, and it's an activity that beer lovers will be satisfied with.
12月ですし、仕方ありません。
日本語スタッフは居ませんが、困ることはなし。
2タップ常設の、ビール好きにも、満足のいく
アクティビティです。
I went on a tour with my three elementary school children, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun experience for the whole family. The kids were initially scared of snorkeling, but once they got used to it, they really enjoyed it.
小学生の子供3人連れでしたが、ガイドの方達はとても親切で家族共々楽しいツアーでした。
シュノーケルは子供達は最初怖がってましたが、慣れたら楽しんでいました。
Excellent performances and Hospitality by the Chief and Family! Loved the excitement and enthusiasm! Buffet was delicious. Souvenirs and photo options were so affordable. Will be bringing my Family back again soon! ALOHA CHIEF AND CREW!!
Tons of fun! Mahalo to the crew for making this evening filled with fun!
Loved this evening on the water, with the sunset, and delicious food!
Definitely a splendid evening, whats better than being on the beautiful Waikiki waters
The ocean is incredibly beautiful! I was able to see sea turtles! They also kindly teach you how to snorkel and use the boat!
There are people who speak Japanese, so you won't have to proceed without understanding the explanations, and it was also great that they provided transportation to Waikiki.
海がすごい綺麗です!ウミガメに会うことも出来ました!シュノーケリングや、ボート?のやり方も丁寧に教えてくださいます!
日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃるので、説明が分からないまま進むこともないし、ワイキキまで送迎があるのも有り難かったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are glad you were able to see the sea turtles! We are also pleased that you enjoyed activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. Please join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

ウミガメに会うことができて良かったです!またスノーケリングの他にもSUPなどで楽しんで頂けて嬉しく思います。
またハワイにお越しの際は是非ツアーにご参加くださいませ。スタッフ一同お待ちしております。
I participated in light clothing. I set out thinking it would be an easy hiking course, but due to the bad weather the day before, we had to navigate through a fallen bamboo grove along the way.
Before reaching the waterfall, there were steep slopes that made me sweat a lot, but the sense of accomplishment was 100%.
On the way back, we had lunch, which was delicious and felt like a reward. I was very satisfied.
The view from Tantalus Lookout on the way back was also great, making it the best course overall.
軽装で参加いたしました。手軽なハイキングコースと思いつつ出発しましたが、前日荒天だったとのことで途中倒れかけた竹藪の中を進みました
滝に到着するまでは、きつい坂道もあり汗でびっしょりになりましたが
達成感は100%でした
帰りにはランチをいただきましたが、これがまた美味しくて ご褒美のようで
大満足でした。
帰途タンタラスの丘からの眺めも良くて コースとしては最高でした
Timely pick up and drop off with friendly and knowledgable guide/driver.
I participated because I wanted to see sea turtles.
On the day of the tour, the sky was cloudy, and the sea wasn't very clear, but I was able to see sea turtles both from the boat and while snorkeling!
There were no Japanese-speaking staff on our boat, but there was a staff member who understood a little Japanese, so I felt somewhat at ease participating.
During the drive to and from the location, the driver was very friendly and engaging, so I didn't get bored!
It was a very enjoyable tour.
If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.
ウミガメに会いたくて参加しました。
当日は曇り空で、海はあまり綺麗に見えづらかったのですが、船の上からもシュノーケリング中もウミガメに会うことができました!
私たちの乗る船には、日本語スタッフの方はおられませんでしたが、日本語が少し通じるスタッフの方がおられたので、ある程度安心して参加をすることができました。
行き帰りの車では、運転手の方がとても楽しくお話をしてくださり、退屈しませんでした!
とても楽しいツアーになりました。
また機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour.
It seems that the sky was unfortunately cloudy, but we are glad that you were able to encounter the honu!
We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
あいにく曇り空の様だったみたいですが、なんとかホヌと遭遇できて嬉しく思います!
またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
It was a valuable experience to see the underwater world in Hawaii. However, I couldn't find any information about "Japanese narration available for download." Once seated, there was no opportunity to ask questions to the staff. In reality, there were no staff members available to answer questions, and at both the boat before boarding the submarine and at the meeting point, there was no situation where I could inquire about the "Japanese narration available for download." There were also no Japanese brochures. This was very disappointing.
ハワイの海中を見ることができ貴重な体験でした。
ただ、『日本語ナレーションダウンロード可能』はどこへやら?
座席につくと係の人に質問できる状況ではなかったです。実際には質問できるような係の人はいないし、潜水艦に乗る前の船でも、集合場所でも『日本語ナレーションダウンロード可能』の質問ができるような状況ではありませんでした。日本語パンフレットもありませんでした。これが非常に残念でした。
Thank you for using VELTRA.
We are glad to hear that you had a valuable experience.
However, we apologize for not being able to provide information regarding the Japanese narration, which may have caused you some anxiety on the day of the tour.
We received notice from the local operating company that the Japanese service has changed, and we updated the tour page recently.
To avoid similar inconveniences in the future, we will work closely with the local team to ensure better service.
Thank you for your understanding.

VELTRAをご利用くださりありがとうございます。
貴重な体験ができたようで、嬉しく思います。
しかしながら、日本語ナレーションにつきましてご案内できておらず、当日不安なお気持ちにさせてしまいましたことお詫び申し上げます。
現地催行会社より日本語サービスが変更になっているとの連絡を受け、先日ツアーページを更新しました。
今後同様のご迷惑をおかけしないためにも、現地とのコミュニケーションを密にとって、より良いサービスが提供できるよう努めてまいります。
何卒よろしくお願いします。

We did the Jungle expedition, movie sets and agriculture tours. The guides at the ranch were great. The ranch itself is beautiful. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Polynesian culture, what’s grown on the ranch and got to try a few foods while on the agriculture tour. I took a star off because the bus driver was kind of a jerk. He complained about the other driver and belittled us for not laughing at his jokes or wanting to interact with his aggressive attempt at a side show on the way to the ranch. One lady did attempt to interact with him by asking a question and he got angry with her. No one attempted to engage with him after that. On the ride back to Waikiki he didn’t speak and hurried people off at their stops.
I was picked up by bus and moved to Senba, where everyone cheerfully explained everything in Japanese, from the precautions for boarding the boat to the overall flow. I had an incredibly fun time, got to see turtles, and it became the best memory!!! This time I came for my honeymoon, but I would like to use this service again when our family grows!!
バスで迎えにきてもらい、船場まで移動し、船乗る時の注意点から、全体の流れまで日本語で皆んな明るく説明してくれ、めちゃくちゃ楽しく過ごせて、カメも見れて、最高の思い出になりました!!!
今回はハネムーンできましたが、今度は家族が増えた際に、また利用させてもらいたいです!!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We appreciate you joining us during your precious honeymoon. We are delighted to hear that it became a wonderful memory! We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on another occasion.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はツアーへのご参加、誠にありがとうございました。
貴重なハネムーンのお時間の中参加頂きありがとうございます。素敵な思い出になったと聞いて嬉しく思います!
またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
The powerful dances of the men, the delicate and gentle dances of the women, and the authentic fire dance were overwhelming; it was a great experience. The food was also delicious.
様々な迫力ある男性の舞、可憐で優しげな女性の踊り、本格的な火踊りには圧倒される、良い体験だった。食事も美味しかった。
After racing along the dirt paths of the jungle while explaining the surroundings and enjoying the vast scenery, it was a bit disappointing to feel increasingly deflated during the movie set tour and the visit to the farmer's living area. If we were going to explore similar spaces, it might have been better to have different experiences like horseback riding or cycling. I wish there had been clearer explanations of the activities during the booking phase.
ジャングルの土道を説明しながら疾駆し、広大な景色を満喫した後、映画撮影現場ツアー、農家の生活域への訪問と続いて、どんどん気持ち的に萎えてしまう様だったのが少々残念。同じ様な空間を回るのであれば、乗馬とかサイクリングとかの別形態の体験をした方が良かったかも知れないと、もう少し体験内容の事前説明を募集段階で判るようにしてあったらと思う。
Thank you very much for your kind assistance the day before yesterday, Kanako! I appreciate your enthusiastic explanations during the tour! I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.
KANAKOさん一昨日は大変お世話になりました!
ツアー中の熱心なご説明有難うございました!
明日も宜しくお願い致します。
I couldn't see it, but I felt the beautiful sea and the pleasant sea breeze, so I guess it was good!
見ることはできなかったけど、綺麗な海と潮風を気持ち良く感じることはできたので良かったかなと言う感じ!
This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.
I have traveled to Hawaii about 20 times, including long stays, and this is my first visit in four years. I considered taking a bus or renting a car to get to Manoa, but since it was my first time in the area and I wanted to learn about the local plants, I decided to join this tour.
On the day of the tour, there were about four groups of Japanese participants and around four to five groups from English-speaking countries (the mainland, Australia, Italy). Our tour guide, Kanako, attended to everyone using both English and Japanese. I imagine she must have been quite tired from speaking both languages the whole time, but she was always smiling and considerate of everyone, truly a wonderful person.
Kanako's friendly approach made the bus ride and our exploration enjoyable, regardless of nationality. I participated alone, but I had the chance to chat, take photos, and exchange contact information with a woman who was also traveling solo from the mainland, which gave me a sense of the overseas travel experience I had missed. Thank you!
When we left Waikiki, the weather was quite overcast, and I wondered what it would be like in Manoa, but fortunately, it didn't rain during our exploration. We enjoyed the great outdoors while being careful of our footing. Along the way, we heard various stories, and I realized that the information shared during the tour was something I wouldn't have easily obtained on my own, making my decision to join the tour the right one.
After our exploration, we were served sandwiches from Andy's, a three-generation establishment in Manoa, along with water at Tantalus National Park. (The sandwiches here are incredibly filling; I was full after just half and took the rest home. The taste was excellent too, with a delightful sweetness in the bread!) Since it had rained, we ate together under a pavilion. Normally, we could have enjoyed our meal on the grass, further immersing ourselves in nature. After eating, we moved to a spot where we could see Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the airport for photos. Initially, clouds obscured our view of Diamond Head, but the weather changed suddenly, and by the end, we could see a bit of blue sky. I thought it was a miracle.
I usually participate in tours that are exclusively in Japanese, so I found this mixed tour to be a wonderful opportunity to communicate with people from overseas. I believe travel companies should actively promote mixed tours.
At the end, we all hugged goodbye. Although it was a short time, it was a very meaningful experience during my brief stay in Hawaii.
Thank you so much, Kanako! See you again!
ハワイへはロングステイもしたり20回程度は渡航しています。そして4年ぶりのハワイです。マノアへはバスやレンタカーを使っていくことも考えましたが初めての土地とそれから現地の植物等の情報も知りたかったのでこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は日本人(日本語)のグループが4組程度,英語グループ(メインランドやオーストラリア,イタリア)からの参加が4組~5組程度でツアーガイドのKANAKOさんが英語と日本語両方を使って参加者の方々をアテンドしてくださいました。
英語と日本語でずっと話していたのでいつもよりきっと疲れたと思いますがいつもニコニコしていてずっとみんなを気遣っていて本当に素晴らしい方です。
KANAKOさんの対応がフレンドリーでバスの中や現地での散策が国籍問わず一体となって楽しく移動できました。私はひとりで参加しましたが本土からひとりで参加していた女性の方と一緒にお話しして写真を撮ったりメアドを交換したりと久しぶりに海外旅行にきた感触を得ることができました。ありがとうございます。
当日はワイキキを出たときはかなりどんより曇っていてマノアではどうなることかと思いましたが,散策途中は雨は降らず足元に気を付けながら大自然を満喫してきました。途中でいろいろなエピソード等も伺いやはり自分ひとりではなかなか得られない情報だったと思いツアー参加は正解でした。
散策終わるとマノアで3世代続くアンディーズのサンドウィッチとお水がタンタラス国立公園で渡されました。(ここのサンドウィッチはものすごくボリューミーで私は半分だけでお腹いっぱいになり持ち帰りました。そして味も最高。パン生地に甘味があって美味しい!!と思いました)
雨の後だったので東屋のようなところでみんなで食べました。いつもなら芝の上等で自然をさらに満喫しながら食べられたと思います。食後は公園内のダイヤモンドヘッド~ワイキキ~空港までが見渡せる場所へ移動し写真撮影しました。写真撮影の最初は雲がかかってしまっていてダイヤモンドヘッドも見えない状況だったのですが途中から天気が急変して最後はすこしだけ青空が見えました。奇跡だと思います。
私は普段日本語(日本人)だけのツアーを当たり前のように参加します。今回このように混在したツアーは海外に来て海外の方とコミュニケーションをとるすばらしい機会だと思いました。積極的に旅行会社も混在ツアーをアピールしてよいのではないかと思います。
最後はみんなお別れする時はハグしてお別れしました。とても短い時間でしたが短いハワイ滞在の中でとても有意義な時間となりました。
KANAKOさんほんとにありがとうございました♡またね!!
Loved everything about it!
Crew is super chill and personable. Burgers were good - came with chips and a drink.
We had plenty of time to explore the sand bar and snorkel. Crew was comforting, the whole experience was super chill.
The sea is beautiful! During snorkeling, the guide constantly informed us about the locations of sea turtles, allowing us to see them clearly, which was moving! They also introduced activities like stand-up paddleboarding, making it accessible even for beginners! I had a great time and would love to participate again!
とにかく海がきれい!シュノーケリングは添乗員さんの案内のもと、ウミガメのいる場所とかも常に教えてくれるので、しっかり見ることができ、感動しました!サップ?みたいなアクティビティも教えてくれたりするので、初心者でもできました!楽しい時間を過ごせたので、また参加したいと思いました!

I have always wanted to meet a sea turtle, so I signed up.
I arrived at the sandbar without any seasickness and was able to enjoy SUP and snorkeling!
Thank you very much!
ずっとウミガメに会いたくて申し込みました。
特に船酔いもなくサンドバーに到着し、
SUPやシュノーケルを楽しむことができました!
ありがとうございました!

We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was well worth the price. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the memorial on a tight time schedule.
I have attended this luau on more than one occasion. The food is good, the entertainment is great. Wonderful fire show!
It was amazing,We had the best tour guide, he was very nice, informative and knowledgeable with history kept it interesting throughout our 90 min tour . definitely worth making this a must do on your trip to HI,
It was an English narration, but I was able to get a Japanese pamphlet. It seems that the pamphlet was visually easier for the children to understand. It was great to see two sea turtles swimming.
英語ナレーションだけど、日本語パンフレットをもらえた
こどもにはパンフレットの方が視覚的にわかりやすかったようです。
ウミガメが2匹いて、泳いでいるところを見られたのがよかった。
This was my second time participating. I felt reassured because there were staff members who could communicate in Japanese. I was worried about food and hydration since lunch wasn't provided, but there were light snacks like sweets and warm cocoa available, so I didn't feel particularly hungry even though it took until the afternoon.
There were many free rental options available, and even with the tide coming in, I was able to have a lot of fun with the inflatable rings and kayaks. For snorkeling, there is a rental set available. If you're concerned about hygiene, I think it's a good idea to bring your own gear.
Even for those who are not confident swimmers, the staff had inflatable rings that you could hold onto while swimming, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.
It can be cold on the water and on the bus ride back, so I recommend definitely bringing a long-sleeved rash guard and a change of clothes. Also, if you have an underwater camera, you can capture memories of turtles while snorkeling, so bringing one would be great for preserving your travel memories.
I had an absolutely amazing time. I'm very satisfied!!
2回目の参加。
日本語対応のスタッフさんもいたため安心して参加することが出来ました。
昼食等は着いてなかったので、水分や食事が心配でしたが、お菓子などの軽食や暖かいココア等が準備されていたため、昼過ぎまでかかりますが特に空腹等は気にならなかったです。
無料で借りれるオプションがたくさんあったたも、潮が満ちていても浮き輪やカヤック等でたくさん遊べました。
シュノーケルでは、貸出のセットがあります。感染面が気になる方は各自用意するといいと思います。
泳ぎが苦手な方でもスタッフさんが浮き輪をもっていてそれに掴む方で泳ぐことも出来るので安心して参加できると思いました。
海の上や帰りのバスは寒いので長袖のラッシュガードや着替えは必ず持っていった方がいいと思います。また、水中カメラ等あるとシュノーケルの際に亀などもとれるためある方はもってくると旅の思い出を写真に残すことができると思います。
最高に楽しかったです。大満足です!!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour for the second time. We are glad you enjoyed not only snorkeling but also the fun with floaties. Your valuable feedback and experiences will be taken into account for our future operations. We sincerely look forward to your participation in the third tour next time!

We had such a great time! The captain and his helpers are so friendly they truly make you feel like you're part of their family, great boat with great food would recommend 10/10.
