サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでのプライベート時間<6名まで/日本語クルー>

It was enjoyable for ages 2 to 87! 2歳から87歳まで楽しめました!

Reviewed by: 東北の親父

We participated in a tour with six people, including a 2-year-old child and an 87-year-old grandmother. The guide, who spoke Japanese, and the captain were friendly, and since it was a private tour, they let us decide on the timing for snorkeling and paddleboarding based on our pace. Unfortunately, it was after a full moon, and the tide was high, but the adults could enjoy the water at waist height while the child had fun with a float and life jacket.

The 87-year-old grandmother found the sea water cold, so I requested a wetsuit the day before, and they had it ready for her on the day of the tour, which was a great help! They also prepared floats and paddleboards for us, allowing us to play longer than we would have on a shared boat. We took many photos, and they taught us paddleboarding carefully, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

For snorkeling, the captain pulled the child on a boat, and the guide supported those who couldn't swim, so everyone had fun. We saw many sea turtles and fish, which was amazing. The snorkeling was kept short for the child and grandmother, allowing us to enjoy the sea longer, which is a unique advantage of a private tour.

After coming out of the water, it was cold, but they provided warm tea, and for the children who wanted to keep playing, they pulled them on the back of the boat, making it a perfect tour for families with small children and elderly members. They also prepared plenty of snacks and juice, and the child was thrilled with the apples.

The tour flew by, and we chatted a lot with the guide, creating wonderful memories for the whole family. The spam rice balls were also fantastic. The weather and tide are unpredictable, but it was a wonderful tour overall!

I recommend bringing a light jacket because the bus air conditioning is strong, and since it gets cold after being in the sea, it's a good idea to change clothes in the restroom before getting on the bus.

2歳の子供と87歳のおばあちゃんをつれて6人でツアーに参加しました。
日本語の話せるガイドさんとキャプテンもフレンドリーで貸し切りツアーということでこちらのペースに合わせてシュノーケルとsupなどで遊ぶ時間を相談して決めさせてくれました。
あいにく満月の後で潮が満ちていましたが大人は腰ぐらいの高さで子供は浮き輪とライフジャケットで楽しめました。
87歳のおばあちゃんは海の水が冷たかったので前日にウェットスーツのリクエストを送ったところ当日用意してくださり助かりました!
浮き輪やsupも私達用に用意してもらえて乗合いボートよりも長く遊ぶことができました!
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてsupも丁寧に教えてもらえたので本当に楽しかったです。
またシュノーケルは子供はボートに乗せてキャプテンが引っ張っていってくれ、泳げない人はガイドさんがサポートしてくれて全員で楽しめてウミガメもたくさん見れて魚も見れたので感動でした。
子どもやおばあちゃんのペースでシュノーケルは短めにしてもらえて長く海で遊べたのも貸し切りツアーならではでした。
海から上がったら寒かったのですが温かいお茶を用意してもらえたり、まだ遊びたい子どもはボートの後ろに乗せて引っ張ってくれたりといたせり尽せりで小さな子ども連れ、高齢者連れには本当におすすめのツアーでした。スナックもジュースもたくさん用意してもらえて子どもはりんごに大喜びでした。
あっという間のツアーでガイドさんともたくさんおしゃべりして家族みんなの素敵な思い出になりました。
スパムおにぎりも最高でした。
天気と潮の満ち引きは運なのでどうすることもできませんがそれを含めて素敵なツアーでした!

バスの冷房が強いので羽織を持ってくことと、帰りは海で冷えて寒いのでバスに乗る前にトイレ等で服を着替えて乗ることをお勧めします!

Private Honolulu Sunset Cruise - Oahu Boat Rental by Pau Hana Yacht Charters

The best sunset experience!

Reviewed by: S. Engelhardt

When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.

Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.

Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.

When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!

Extremely satisfied with the private cruise. 大満足のプライベートクルーズ

Reviewed by: なぁちゃん

We chartered a boat for a family trip with three generations, totaling nine people. We booked the two-hour course, which turned out to be just the right amount of time to relax and enjoy meals on board. However, if you plan to have a longer meal on the boat, a longer course might be better.

We brought takeout food and drinks with us, but there were plenty of utensils provided, and it was helpful that cold drinking water was available. There was also a cooler on board, so we could keep our drinks and fruits chilled. There were two restrooms available, and we were able to bring a stroller on board as well. Although we didn't use it, there was also a microwave (or oven?!) available.

From the boat, you can see Waikiki and Diamond Head. The time spent lying outside while enjoying the panoramic view was absolutely the best!

The boat arrived at the dock about 15 minutes before the departure time. Since there isn't a waiting area like a terminal near the dock, it might be better not to arrive too early.

親子3世代9名の家族旅行でチャーターしました。
2時間コースで申し込みましたが、船上でのんびりしたり食事をすることができ、丁度良い時間でした。
ただ、船上での食事を長めにとる場合は、もう少し長いコースの方がよいかもしれません。
テイクアウトした食事や飲み物を持参して乗り込みましたが、カトラリー類は十分用意されていましたし、冷たい飲料水の提供もあり助かりました。
クーラーボックスも設置されているので、飲み物やフルーツなどは冷やしておくこともできます。
トイレは2か所ありました。
ベビーカーも積み込むことができました。
使用してはいませんが、電子レンジ(オーブン?!)もありました。

船上からはワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができます。
特に屋外で寝転がりながらパノラマビューを見ながら過ごす時間は最高でした!

船は出発時刻の15分くらい前に桟橋にやってきました。
桟橋付近にはターミナルのような待つ場所がないので、あまり早めに行かない方がいいかもしれません。

Magical sandbar tour

We got the private boat and did the sandbar tour & I can’t recommend this enough! We played at the sandbar, toured the waters and got to see turtles & manta rays! Captain Jeff was helpful, fun & informative, the snacks were tasty and the boat was clean and in great condition. Do this tour!! You won’t regret it!

Is it really heaven? 本当に天国かと

Reviewed by: ヤルナ

This time, we chose the heavenly sea for the end of our trip. Since we wanted a private experience, we opted for the lounge port. It was pure bliss to enjoy such an amazing view with just our family, without worrying about other people. The captain was handsome, and it seems my daughters had a great time for a different reason. I definitely want to go for a private experience again next time.

今回は旅の最後に天国の海を選びました。どうせなら貸し切りと思い今回ラウンジポートを選びました。ゆっくり人を気にせずあんな最高の景色を家族だけで楽しめて幸せの絶頂でした。キャプテンがイケメンで娘達は興奮して違う意味で楽しかったみたいです。又次も貸し切りで行きたいと思います。

I had a great time! 楽しめました!

Reviewed by: REI

We encountered various fish and a large sea turtle. My mother, who is in her 90s, also challenged herself to snorkel. The guide pulled her along with a float, so she could comfortably enjoy the underwater view, and she was very happy. Perhaps because it wasn't an early morning plan, the water was a bit murky, but it was great to enjoy ourselves without any worries on a comfortable lounge boat, just our family.

いろいろなおさかなや、大きなウミガメに遭えました。
90代の母もシュノーケルにチャレンジ、ガイドさんが浮き輪を引っ張ってくださったので、安心して海の中を眺めることができ、母も喜んでいました。
早朝のプランではなかったためか、水が少し濁っていましたが、快適なラウンジボートで、家族だけで気兼ねなく楽しめたのが良かったです。

Absolutely thrilled!! 大感激‼︎

Reviewed by: 流れ星

On the last day of our trip, I was moved to tears by a wonderful show that was perfect for concluding our journey. I recommend paying a little extra for seats closer to the front! Although it was quite pricey, it was worth every penny. My mother, who is in her mid-70s, was also deeply impressed.

With the ocean and Diamond Head as a backdrop, the show was based on history and was so moving that even those who aren't fluent in English could appreciate it. The singing and dancing were incredible and truly touched my heart.

The food was plentiful and delicious, but unfortunately, we couldn't finish it all since we don't eat much. The drink tickets included three drinks plus coffee, but we couldn't use all of our drink tickets. Overall, I was very satisfied.

Last year, I learned that there was a luau show at the Royal Hawaiian, and I participated for the first time. I was happy to hear my parents, who have seen various luau shows, say that it was great. I definitely want to repeat this experience when I stay in Waikiki. This time, we entered in time for dinner, but I am also interested in events that teach about Hawaiian culture. Unfortunately, the host of the show speaks in English, so I think there might be parts that are lacking for Japanese guests. I would appreciate any improvement suggestions from Beltora.

昨年、ロイヤルハワイアンでルアウショーをやっている事を知って、初めて参加してきました。
色々なルアウショーを見た両親も良かったと言ってくれて嬉しい旅になりました。
ぜひ、ワイキキに泊まった時にはリピートしたいと思います。
今回は食事が始まる時間に合わせて入場しましたが、ハワイ文化を知るイベントにも興味があります。
残念ながら、ショーの司会の方は英語でお話しされるので、日本人には物足らない部分も
あると思います。

It was the best! 最っ高でした!

Reviewed by: oluolu

I used a private cruiser.

Captain Masaki was friendly, kind to the children, and very reliable.

I had checked the tide chart in advance, but since it was negative (I thought, maybe the sandbar would be out if we were lucky?), I didn't have high expectations. However, the sandbar appeared beautifully, and everyone was thrilled! It was cold, so I hesitated to get in the water at first, but the captain helped by saying, "I have wetsuits!" which was a great relief. We enjoyed paddleboarding and playing with water guns...

After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, and when the captain said, "Look, there are sea turtles down here," I looked where he pointed and saw a sea turtle. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The children got to ride on a Zayak, which has a transparent bottom for observing underwater, and the captain pulled them along, so our whole family was able to observe the ocean and see the sea turtles, spending a wonderful time together.

It seems not only the adults but also the children had a great time, as they said, "I want to go to the heavenly sea again!"

Thank you for the wonderful time.

I also enjoyed chatting with driver Tim.

プライベートクルーザーを利用させて頂きました。

キャプテンのMASAKIさんも気さくで子供にも優しくて頼もしい方でした。

潮位表を事前に見ていましたが、マイナスになっていたから(運が良ければサンドバーが出てるかも?)とそれほど期待せずに行きましたが、しっかりとサンドバーが現れており、皆大喜び!
寒かったので初めは水に入るのを躊躇していたらキャプテンが「ウエットスーツあるよー」と貸してくれたからかなり助かりました。supしたり水鉄砲で遊んだり…
ひとしきり遊んだ後にシュノーケルをしましたが「ここ、ウミガメいるよー下ー」ってキャプテンの言う先を見るとウミガメがいて、たくさんのウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。
子供はZAYAKというソリの底面が透明になっていて水の中が観察できるものに乗せてもらってキャプテンがずっと引っ張ってくれたので、家族全員でそれぞれが海の中を観察してウミガメを見られて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
大人だけでなく、子供もすごく楽しかったみたいで「また天国の海に行きたーい!」と言っています。

It was the best luau! 最高のルアウでした!

Reviewed by: ちぃちぃ

If you're looking to see a hula show, I had my mind set on the Aha Aina at the Royal Hawaiian. Of course, I signed up for the front row seating plan. Since the price difference between regular and front row seats is minimal, I recommend going for the front row.

The show itself was simply amazing! With mesmerizing dances, comedic performances, passionate dances, and powerful fire dances, there was never a dull moment—it flew by in no time.

The dinner included an appetizer, a main course, and a generous dessert platter, so much that I couldn't finish it all. As expected from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, everything was delicious. The ticket also included three drink vouchers, so I thoroughly enjoyed Mai Tais, Blue Hawaiis, and Piña Coladas.

フラのショーを見るなら、ロイアルハワイアンのアハ アイナと決めていました。もちろん、前列席確約プランで申し込み。普通席と前列席との価格差が少ないので、前列確約をおすすめします。
ショー自体は、素晴らしいの一言でした!うっとりするダンスやコミカルなお芝居、情熱的なダンスや力強いファイヤーダンス等々、飽きる暇もなく、あっという間でした。
ディナーは、前菜とメインにデザートの盛り合わせとボリュームたっぷりで、食べきれないほど。さすが、ロイヤルハワイアンホテル、どれも美味しかったです。ドリンクも3杯分のチケットが付いていたので、マイタイ、ブルーハワイ、ピニャコラーダなど十分楽しめました。

It was the best! 最高でした!

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした!
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高!パーティーも最高!クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました!

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます!ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです!

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました!
スタッフさん1名は少し日本語を話してくれます❤︎

Relaxed のんびり

Reviewed by: どらえ

As expected from a private tour, it seems they were able to keep the equipment for us at the beginning, allowing us to play to our heart's content. I thought there wouldn't be a return transfer, but it was great that they took us back to the hotel. The water level was about waist-high, which is natural and unavoidable, but I would love to go again.

さすがプライベートツアー、遊具も最初にキープさせていただいたそうで思いっきり遊べたそうです。
帰りの送迎がついていないと思っていたのですが、ちゃんとホテルに送って頂けて助かりました。
水位が腰ぐらいまであったのでそれは自然なので仕方がないですが、また行きたいです。

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for joining our private tour the other day. We are very happy to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the recommended private tour. Also, thank you for sharing the photos of your rare encounter with the manta rays. It was truly unfortunate that the water level was a bit high. We hope that next time you can enjoy a different view of the sandbar. A Hui Hou!

It was a senior trip with three friends, and we were blessed with great weather; the sunset and location were perfect. I was able to listen to Hawaiian music live for the first time in a while, and I had a wonderful time enjoying the elegant dance and meal. Recently, it seems like luau shows have been focusing mainly on hula and fire dancing, so I was really happy to hear Hawaiian songs live. If I get the chance again, I plan to visit.

友人3人のシニア旅でしたが、天気にも恵まれて、夕陽もロケーションも最高でした。
久々にハワイアンを生歌で聞く事ができ、優美な舞と食事に満足した時間を過ごせました。
最近のルアウ・ショーはフラ&ファイヤーダンスだけに重きをおいている感じがしていたので、ライブでのハワイアン・ソングは嬉しかったです。
またチャンスがあれば、訪れようと思います。

Revisiting with my family who have never been here before. 未踏の家族を連れて再訪

Reviewed by: shofugue

I previously visited during the summer with my coworkers, but my family had never been. After overcoming the long COVID pandemic, I finally brought my family along. It felt like fate that this was the last AM private cruise of 2023, and I was able to greet Captain Bruce before departure. Everyone picked up on even the little things from our prior communications and past experiences, which naturally sparked conversations.

Sitting near the bow of the speedboat can get you very wet. If you have things that you don't want to get wet, make sure to take precautions before and after boarding. I think you'll be dressed for swimming afterward, so feel free to enjoy getting splashed!

Veteran Alan interacted with us at just the right distance, ensuring that we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves as a family. However, we weren't neglected; he discreetly prepared wetsuits for my family when they looked a bit chilly and promptly responded to our small requests. During snorkeling, he helped my younger daughter, who struggles with swimming, by pulling her on a Zayak (a bodyboard with a viewing window), allowing her to enjoy the underwater scenery.

On that day, the current was a bit strong and sand was swirling, but my family was thrilled to encounter a honu resting on the reef. He even took my younger daughter to see another honu that was in shallower water.

Since this is an activity in nature, the weather and sea conditions are a surprise on the day, but we had a different experience compared to summer. Our family was very satisfied with our stay. Thank you!

Additionally, you can change from a shared shuttle to self-arrival at the location. This allows you to freely plan your schedule after the cruise, not just limited to the Waikiki area, so you can continue to enjoy the tranquil Windward side or venture up to the North Shore. For those considering renting a car, I think it's a good option. The yacht harbor parking is first-come, first-served (be careful of no-parking areas), so it's best to arrive with some extra time.

以前職場の人たちと夏季に来ましたが、家族は未踏だったでした。長いコロナ禍を乗り越え、ようやっと家族を連れて来られました。
2023年最後のAMプライベートクルーズだったのも何かの縁、キャプテンブルースさんにも出航前にご挨拶ができました。事前のやりとりや以前のお世話になった話など、ちょっとしたことでも皆さん拾ってくださり、自然と会話も弾みます。

スピードボートは舳先近くに座るととても濡れます。濡れると困るものは、乗船前後にあらかじめ対策しましょう。そのあと海に入る格好になって参加されると思いますので、せっかくなのであとは思う存分飛沫を浴びてください笑。

大ベテランのアランさんは程よい距離感で接してくださり、大体の時間は家族だけで自由気ままに過ごせるように計らってくださいました。とはいえ放置されているのではなく、少し肌寒そうにしていた家族にさり気なくウェットスーツを用意してくださり、こちらのちょっとしたリクエストにもすぐに対応してくださいました。
シュノーケリング時は泳ぎの苦手な次女をザヤック(のぞき窓付きボディボード)に載せて曳いていただき、次女も海中を眺めることができました。

この日は潮の流れが少し強く砂が舞ってましたが、家族も無事リーフにたたずむホヌと出会うことができ、喜んでいました。浅いところにいた別のホヌを見せに次女を連れて行っても下さいました。

自然の中でのアクティビティなので天気、海の様子は当日のお楽しみですが、夏季とはまた違った体験ができました。家族一同が大満足の滞在になりました。ありがとうございました!


なお、乗合送迎から自力での現地集合に変更もできます。クルーズ後の予定をワイキキエリアに限らず自由に立てられるので、のどかなウインドワードを引き続き満喫したり、ノースに足を伸ばしたりできますね。レンタカー派の方はご検討されるとよいと思います。
ヨットハーバーの駐車場は早い者勝ち(駐車禁止エリアもあるので注意)のため、ある程度余裕をもってのご到着がベストです。

  • ボート後方の飛沫の眺め

  • 用具の置かれたフロートは大きく位置もそんなに変わらないので、目印がわりに

There was no sandbar, but サンドバーは無かったけど

Reviewed by: Tommy

It wasn't low tide, so the water level was about waist-high. I think it's a matter of luck when participating. I personally enjoyed the waist-high water more than the knee-high water. I recommend checking the low and high tide times in advance when making a reservation, but you can enjoy the beautiful sea regardless.

Also, since it was a lounge boat plan, we were able to use one SUP in a private setting, which was comfortable. It was a bit cold on the boat due to the strong wind, but they provided windbreakers with hoods for everyone, which was helpful.

I declined snorkeling due to the cold, but the captain was flexible and asked if we should drift a bit or stay here.

引き潮ではなかったため、腰高程度の潮でした。
これは参加時の運だと思います。
私は膝下の潮高より腰高の方が結果的に楽しかったです。
参加日の干潮、満潮を事前に把握した上での予約をお勧めしますが
どちらでも海は綺麗ですから楽しめますね。

また、ラウンジボート利用プランのためSUPを1台
貸切状態で利用できて快適でした。
風が強かったためボートの上の方が寒かったですが
フード付きウィンドウブレーカーを人数分用意してくれていて
助かりました。

シュノーケリングは寒さのため辞退したのですが
キャプテンは臨機応変に、少しボートを流す(走らせる)?
それとも ここに留まる? と聞いてくれました。
