Oahu
I was looking forward to my long-awaited trip to Hawaii, but it was cloudy and rainy from the morning, which made the water murky and hard to see. The submarine experience was good, but it was disappointing.
久しぶりのハワイで、楽しみにしていましたが、朝から雨で曇っていたせいか、水中が濁っていてよく見えなかった。潜水艦は良かったですが残念です。
The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.
I had doubt initially and I am glad I did it. It’s easy to book through this site. I booked it a day before the tour and luckily to find a time that was good for my family. The guide has great sense of humor. If you love Hollywood movies and TV shows, it’s a must see. You can also learn a lot about the ranch history. My family enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
La prise en charge, l’accueil, le circuit tout était très bien. Le chauffeur nous donnait des renseignements intéressants. Nous avons passé un excellent moment. Seule petit bémol le bus n’était pas très confortable et j’ai quelques petites douleurs au dos. J’ai aussi acheté la photo bien que j’ai trouvé le prix exorbitant. En tout état de cause je conseille cette activité.
This was a great experience. The bus came to hotel exactly the time that was indicated. The location was fantastic, sea was calm.
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
We're happy to know you had great time in Kaneohe Sandbar tour.
Mahalo for the compliments. Please come back again. Mahalo!
It is a lot of fun, but make sure you apply sunscreen to every inch of your body to avoid sunburn . Sunburn can be extremely uncomfortable
We had a great time snorkeling. We saw many fishes, and 3 turtles!

My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!
Fun! The cheeseburger was the best.
kind of crowded when everyone is snorkeling
But overall it’s a great activity!
The show was overall good, especially the fire dance at the end. And the chief is quite talented because he needs to run the show, tell jokes and play drums.
Anyway,
This luau is inside the water park, and we use the restroom inside the water park which is a 5 minutes away from the luau place. Before the sun goes down, it’s very hot and sweaty. And we don’t have much space while seating. The experience was not pleasant.
Also, after everyone takes a picture and ready to seat down, they give u a cup of mai tai and takes one of the drink tickets. Don’t take that Mai Tai drink right away, just go to the bar section for the drinks.
And there are one thing I can’t figure it out, before the buffet starts, they showed us a roast pig and said this is gonna be one of the main course tonight. And everyone go line up for the buffet, the only dish pork-related is the pull pork which has nothing to do with the roast pig for sure. And they didn’t cut the roast pig in front of everyone. It looks like the roast pig is one of the actor for the luau.
For the price we are paying, we expect more.
I think it's better to choose a tour that is as close to low tide as possible when making a reservation. The depth of the sandbar is about waist-deep, and the beautiful shallow waters seen in the promotional photos continue for a long stretch. While we can't choose the weather, I believe that without strong sunlight, the contrast in photos won't be as striking. It was cloudy in the morning for us, but as we headed out to sea, the clouds cleared, and the sun came out, giving us the best experience. Of course, we also enjoyed snorkeling with sea turtles. I brought my prescription underwater goggles and wore a life jacket, allowing me to swim in the shallow waters of about 2 to 3 meters and see the sea turtles. It truly became a wonderful memory for our family of four. Thank you very much.
予約時になるべく干潮の時間帯に近いツアーを選択したほうが良いと思います。サンドバーの深さが腰程度となり広告写真で見られる美しい浅瀬がずーっと続きます。また天候は選べませんが太陽光線がしっかりないと写真のようなコントラストにならないと思います。私たちは朝曇っていたのですが沖に出ていくタイミングで雲が無くなり太陽が顔を出し最高の経験をさせてもらいました。もちろんシュノーケリングでウミガメも堪能しました。私は水泳用の度付きの水中眼鏡を持参しライフジャケット着用で水深2,3mの浅瀬を泳ぎながらウミガメを見ることが出来ました。本当に家族4人で良い思い出となりました。ありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed encounters with sea turtles and the snorkeling experience.

なんとか太陽が顔を出してくれて良い日になって良かったです。
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。
One of the best things I’ve ever done. The captain and her mate were exceptional! They talked us through our fears, educated us about the sharks, and we got to see sharks- loaaads of sharks! Right there. I’m all their beauty. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking about it - just do it. Nothing to fear. All safe and just an experience of a lifetime!
I was worried about seasickness, but the time passed quickly and we arrived in no time.
I was moved to see several sea turtles along the way!
The sandbar was even more beautiful than I imagined!
I am very satisfied.
Thank you!
船酔いの心配をしていましたが、時間も短くあっという間に着きました。
ポイントに着くまでの間にウミガメに何匹か会えて感動的でした!!
サンドバーも想像以上の美しさでした!
大満足です。
ありがとうございました!

Amazing place incredible views.
Organized, punctual, beautiful
We were the only Japanese participants, but it was reassuring to have Japanese staff. We were able to see dolphins right after snorkeling. During our free time, we also got to experience paddle boarding and a slide. We were able to see sea turtles up close as well.
日本人の参加者は私達だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいて安心しました。
シュノーケリングで潜ってからすぐにイルカに会えました。
自由時間にはパドルボートや、滑り台も体験できました。
ウミガメも近くで見れました。
Aloha!
Thank you for the photos of the paddle boat.
The activities after snorkeling were also a fun time.
It was a day loved by dolphins and sea turtles. While there are many English-speaking customers now, our staff is also happy to see customers from Japan enjoying the waters of Hawaii!
Aloha!
パドルボートの写真ありがとうございます。
シュノーケルの後のアクティビティーも楽しい時間です。
イルカや海ガメに愛された日、今は英語のお客様が多いですが、日本からのお客様、ハワイの海を楽しんでいただてスタッフも嬉しいです!
Kalani was our driver Very knowledgeable and friendly. Pearl Harbor was awesome. Only draw back was the movie is not working. I had seen before but husband had not. City tour was very informative. Highly recommend this tour
Mr. Susumu, our guide, was amazing. He was well-informed about both the local area and Japan, and he guided us while engaging in fun conversations. The tour was enjoyable in a relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. The lunch at Tantalus Lookout was also fantastic.
ガイドのススムさん、最高でした。
現地のことも日本のこともよく知っていて、
楽しいトークを交えながらガイドしてくれました。
終始和やかな雰囲気でツアーを楽しめました。
タンタラスの丘でのランチも最高でした。
Vicky our tour guide was awesome, knowledgable and managed to ensure we had an amazing time visiting different areas and also rearranging stops if other activities were unavailable due to weather . Coming from England meant I have to put faith in other peoples reviews of the circle island tours and 100% no regrets. Loves every minute
The Captain was Knowledgeable, the views were outstanding. The Sashimi II was very accomodating, Great fun for all ages. We didn't catch anything, but we made some great memories!
LOVED our experience. Everything was amazing! Due to no rainfall/drought the waterfall wasn’t flowing but the views were still Beautiful!
I checked the tide times, but the best times were late at night or early in the morning, which didn't match the tour schedule, so I was worried about how much I would enjoy it. However, I was able to see sea turtles and many fish, which made me very satisfied. The spam sushi we had on the boat was surprisingly delicious. The sea was beautiful, and I'm really glad I participated.
満ち引きの時間帯を見たけど、ベストな時間帯が夜中や朝方でツアーの時間帯に合わず、参加してどれくらい楽しめるか心配でしたが、海亀は見れたくさんの魚も見れて満足です。船で食べたスパム握りがことの他美味しかったです。海が綺麗で、ほんとに参加して良かったです。

The weather was nice, we played beach volleyball at the sandbar, and we saw many sea turtles. Snorkeling was great too, as we saw a lot of fish, and the hamburgers were delicious. The staff was friendly, and we had a great time.
お天気も良く、サンドバーでビーチバレーし、ウミガメにもたくさん会えました。シュノーケリングもたくさん魚が見れてよかったですし、ハンバーガーも美味しかった、スタッフさんもフレンドリーで楽しかったです。
It was amazing to swim in such a beautiful sea. The hamburger for lunch was delicious, and the kids were happy too.
とてもきれいな海で思いっきり泳げて最高でした。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくて、子どもも喜んでました。
I have participated in sandbar tours several times before, but this tour was the most enjoyable so far because, in addition to snorkeling, there were various activities available such as stand-up paddleboarding, balls, and large floaties, which kept things fun and engaging. The staff were also bright and accommodating, making an effort to entertain us. However, one point to note is that all the explanations were in English only, so if the key points could have been communicated in Japanese as well, it would have made those who are not proficient in English feel more at ease.
今までサンドバーツアーには何回か参加したことがありますが、今回のツアーはシュノーケリング以外にも、サップボードやボール、大きな浮き輪等色々な遊び遠具が用意されていて、飽きずに楽しめ、今までで一番楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も楽しませてくれようと明るく対応してくれました。
ただ一点、説明が全て英語のみでしたので、ポイントだけでも日本語で伝えていただけたら、英語が得意でない人も、より安心できたと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.

We had the very best time. I was a little nervous about the price but I would do it all over again.
Glad you had an opportunity to enjoy our Island with us!
The pre-show activities ? None of those happened.
I was really looking forward to experience their culture but NO. When we got there, we were welcomed (speech and all that) then lined up for food and drinks then the show started.
I paid for a VIP royal package expecting my experience will be smooth… The only distinction between VIP and non VIP is the table arrangement and priority line for food but doesn’t apply if you wanna get drinks… which was very inconvenient.
Bottom line, I didn’t get my money’s worth.
Hope this helps.
I found out that I needed permission to hike Diamond Head, so I decided to join the Manoa Falls tour instead. I wasn't expecting much, but our guide Hiro was kind and provided detailed explanations. I was able to soak in a lot of negative ions, and it turned out to be a fun tour.
ダイアモンドヘッド登山が事前に許可を貰わないといけないことがわかり、急遽マノア滝ツアーに参加することにしました。あまり期待をしてなかったのですが、ガイドのHiroさんが親切で、細かく説明して下さったし、マイナスイオンも沢山浴びることができて、楽しいツアーでした。
The entire experience was wonderful, especially the captain and crew. The food and drinks were great as well. My only complaint is that I wish our time at the sandbar was longer! We spent a good while at the snorkeling reef, but I wish our time at the sandbar was equal in length. 10/10 recommend!!
Beginning with our pickup, through drop off, our trip was fantastic. Our tour guide was the best. Our first stop was to see city sights and he allowed us time for pictures along with him taking our group pictures. The battleship was fascinating and of course Pearl Harbour was very touching. Great tour.
So fun!! Loved all the workers who gave us history on Hawaii, from ferry driver to island workers who took us on canoe and glass bottom boat. Loved the sandbar canoe the best!! Definitely recommend visiting the beach
