Oahu
The organizers, both men and women, were very kind, and the entire experience was satisfying. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, but I discovered new things about Hawaii.
主催者側の方達も男性、女性共とても親切で終始満足できる内容でした。
ハワイ旅行は5回目ですが新しいハワイの発見でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. It was a pleasure to discover a new side of Hawaii! It makes you think, "Wow, there’s this kind of Hawaii too!" We 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。新しいハワイの発見!嬉しいです。こんなハワイもあるんだなーって思いますよね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
It was disappointing because of the cloudy sky. If the weather had been nice, it would have been a point boost, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was too strong. I had read in reviews that there would be towels on the seats of the return bus, but there weren't any. I thought it might be necessary to announce that large bath towels are essential.
曇り空で残念でした。天気が良ければポイントアップだつたのですが残念。こればかりはどうしようもないですが。あと送迎バスの冷房が効き過ぎでした。帰りのバスの座席にタオルがひいてある、と口コミがあったのねすが、ありませんでした。大きなバスタオルは必須とアナウンスすべきかな、と思いました。
It seems that it rained in the morning, so unfortunately the sandbar was about waist-deep. However, I was able to see sea turtles clearly from the cruise, and snorkeling was also fun! There was a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease.
朝に雨が降っていたみたいで残念ながらサンドバーは腰あたりの深さでした。
でもクルーズからしっかりウミガメ見ることができたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです!!
ガイドさんも日本人の方もいて安心でした。
日本人のガイドのかたもいて、英語が苦手でも楽しく過ごせました。
サンドバーはとても美しく、バレーボールをみんなでやり、とても良い思い出ができました。
We had 2 adults and an 8 year old. Everyone loved it - the snorkelling was brilliant .... loads of fish and the water was so clear.
It was great having the other activities available also. The staff on the boat were friendly and helpful too. Great experience.
You can have an amazing time even with small children! The sea was beautiful, truly a paradise. On the day of the tour, we met at the location specified by Veltra, which was accurately shown on Google Maps! It's no surprise that this tour is so popular. They also provide inflatable rings and stand-up paddleboards, which made it so much fun! If you want to take lots of photos, don't forget your waterproof gear. I wanted to capture some sea turtles, but unfortunately, all the footage I got was video... My daughter was super excited, shouting "Turtle, turtle!" so that was the best part!
Since we had our child with us, we didn't go snorkeling, but I hope to try snorkeling once my daughter learns how to swim.
The lunch on the boat, especially the malasadas, was really delicious!
小さな子連れでもめちゃくちゃ楽しめる!
そして、海が綺麗、まさに天国の海でした。
当日はレンタカーで現地集合(ベルトラから案内されていた集合先はGoogle マップで正確に出ました!)
こんなに人気なのも納得のツアーでした。
浮き輪やSUPも貸してもらえるし、楽しい楽しい!
写真をたくさん撮りたい方は防水グッズ忘れずに。
海亀も掲載したいのですが、撮ったのが全部動画だったため残念。。。
娘は「亀さん、亀さん」と大興奮で、楽しんでくれいたようなので何より!
子連れだったのでシュノーケルは行きませんでしたが、娘が泳げるようになったらシュノーケルしたいなー
船上のランチ、マラサダはとっても美味しかったですよ!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are delighted to have been able to help you create memories with your beloved family. We hope that next time you can join us for snorkeling with your children! All of our staff 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。大切なご家族との思い出作りをお手伝いできたこと、嬉しく思います。次回は是非、お子様とシュノーケルに参加できるといいですね!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I waited quite a while at the pier after getting off the bus. Most of the people were part of a Japanese group, and I was a bit anxious about whether I was waiting in the right place. The boat that had left earlier returned, and we waited for it to be cleaned. So, I think I waited for about an hour in total. The sandbar was beautiful, and the hamburger was amazing. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles while watching them, which was very moving. However, I still can't forget the moment when a sea turtle collided with the boat just as we were about to go snorkeling... The shock was significant given how moved I was. The snorkeling was enjoyable, even though the waves were high. There was no problem going in a swimsuit, but having a change of clothes would make the return bus ride more comfortable. There is storage under the seats on the boat. If I come again, I would like to participate on a nice weather day and check the tide as well.
バスから降りた船乗り場でかなり待ちました。日本人団体がほとんどでしたが、ここで待っているのがあっているのか不安になりながら待っていました。先に出ていた船が戻ってきて、清掃するのを待っていました。なので全部で1時間ほど待った気がします。サンドバーは綺麗でした。ハンバーガーも最高でした。海亀のウォッチングもたくさん見れました。とても感動しました。ただ、シュノーケリングに行くという時に海亀1匹と船が衝突をしたのが今でも忘れられません…。感動していた分心への衝撃が大きかったです。シュノーケリングは波が高かったですが楽しめました。水着でいって問題はなかったですが、着替えがある方が帰りのバスは落ち着くと思います。船の座席の下に荷物入れはあります。また来ることがあれば、天候の良い日に、そして潮の満ち引きも確認して、参加したいです。
I made a reservation from Japan and participated in the trip on the fifth day of my Hawaii vacation. I was relieved that the bus driver was also Japanese. However, as we got closer to the location, the weather became increasingly ominous, and by the time we arrived at the sandbar, it was pouring rain... The rain continued until just before we were about to leave, and by the time we finally saw some clear skies, it was already time to go... I was a bit happy to see a rainbow at the end. I wasn't confident about snorkeling, but when I tried it, I surprisingly enjoyed it! I even spotted a few sea turtles!! The food was delicious!
日本から予約して、ハワイ旅行5日目に参加しました。バスの運転手さんも日本の方で安心しました。ただ、天気が現地に近くなる程雲行き怪しくなり、サンドバーに着く頃には土砂降りに…そして、帰る間際まで雨が降り続き晴れ間が見えた頃には帰る時間に…最後は虹が見えたのは少し嬉しかったです。シュノーケリングは自信がなかったのですが、挑戦してみたら意外にも楽しめました!ウミガメもちらほら見えました!!
ご飯は、美味しくいただけました!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. Although the weather was quite unfortunate, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling, turtle watching, and the meal. We all sincerely look forward to welcoming you again on a sunny day at the sandbar.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。お天気はとても残念でしたが、シュノーケリング、ウミガメウォッチングやお食事ををお楽しみいただけたようで、嬉しく思います。またの機会にぜひ晴天のサンドバー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 an experience with professional hospitality. When I jumped off the large boat, I was excited to see dolphins and turtles swimming nearby and along the seabed. For snacks, we were served juicy beef patties in hamburgers, pineapple, snacks, and lemonade. I usually don't get seasick, but I felt a bit uneasy, so I didn't eat and took it back with me (there were some people who got sick). There was also a photographer on site who took pictures for us, which were available for purchase. I was a little anxious about snorkeling for the first time, but I had no worries and enjoyed it. I'm glad I participated and I recommend it.
プロのおもてなしをうけた体験でした 大きい船から飛び降りるとイルカも亀も近くや海底を泳ぐのが見えて興奮しました 肉肉しいパテのハンバーガーとパイナップルとスナック菓子、レモネードが軽食で出ました いつも酔わないのですが なんか 嫌な感じがしたので食べずに持ち帰りました(酔っていた人もいました)カメラマンも常駐していたので撮ってくれます 売ってます 初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが 何も心配はなく楽しめました 参加して良かったです おススメします
The attention and hospitality from the captain and crew were outstanding! They spoke Japanese, and their explanations were both interesting and easy to understand, allowing us to participate with peace of mind. The crew offered to take our pictures, which made us very happy since we were traveling as a couple. We were able to see sea turtles multiple times. My friend, who couldn't participate in snorkeling, was offered alternatives like stand-up paddleboarding and a short cruise, making it a very satisfying tour for both of us. Even during the farewell, they waved goodbye, and on the bus ride back, we heard others saying, "The hospitality is just amazing." I'm really glad we participated.
キャプテン、クルー皆さんの気配り、おもてなしが最高でした!日本語okで、説明も面白くわかりやすく、安心して参加できました。クルーの皆さんが「写真を撮ってあげる!」と声をかけてくださり、二人旅行だった私たちはとても嬉しかったです。ウミガメも何度も見られました。一緒に参加した友人は、シュノーケリングに参加できませんでしたがその代わりにSUPや短時間クルーズに声をかけていただき、お互いに大満足のツアーでした。お見送りも最後まで、手を振って、帰りのバスでは周りの皆さんからも「おもてなしが素晴らしすぎる」と声が聞こえてきました。本当に参加してよかったです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are delighted to hear that you were satisfied with our staff's service and hospitality. We 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。スタッフのサービス、おもてなしに満足していただけたようで嬉しく思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This is my second time participating, and since the last tour was in the early morning, there were fewer people, and I felt like I could see the sea turtles and fish up close. This time, I could see the sea turtles from a distance, but they didn't come close. It's a shame that the early morning tours are only available until mid-September.
2回目の参加なのですが、前回早朝のツアーだったので人数も少なく、ウミガメも魚も近くで見れた気がします。今回はウミガメは遠くから見えましたが近くまでは来ませんでした。早朝のツアーが9月半ばまでしかないのが残念でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I see that you joined us for the early morning sunrise tour last time! Thank you. The sunrise tour is conducted to coincide with the sunrise, so it is only available during the summer months. However, we have plans available throughout the day, including morning tours, a Kailua stopover plan, and an afternoon BBQ tour, so we would be very happy if you could experience another tour on your next visit. All of our staff sincerely look forward to welcoming you back.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。前回は早朝のサンライズツアーにご参加いただいたのですね!ありがとうございます。サンライズツアーは日の出のお時間に合わせて催行しているので夏季限定となっておりますが、モーニングツアー、カイルア立ち寄りプラン、そして午後出発のBBQツアーなど1日を通してサンドバーをお楽しみいただけるようにプランをご用意しておりますので、またの機会に是非別のツアーも体験頂けましたらとても嬉しく思います。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I participated in late November.
I think there are seasonal issues, but the waves were strong and the current was fast, causing many people to get seasick.
I saw that the boat is new and large, which supposedly makes it less shaky, but don't get your hopes up. The boat rocked, and after going into the rough sea with waves and strong currents two or three times, it really drained my energy and made me more prone to seasickness! For those participating, if you determine that the current is strong, I think it's better to just float and look down rather than trying to swim. Even if you're confident in your swimming skills, it's not just about that. Please be careful not to overestimate your abilities.
I was able to see dolphins both on the boat and in the water, but that's purely a matter of luck. I've seen promotional photos where many dolphins come close, but you shouldn't expect that. I think many people only catch a glimpse of them from a distance.
If you're just looking to see dolphins, there are other places where you can see and interact with them. You can also go snorkeling in beautiful, calm waters elsewhere. Unless you really want to see wild dolphins, I wouldn't particularly recommend this experience.
11月下旬に参加。
時期的な問題もあると思うが波があり潮の流れも早く、
多くの方が船酔いしていました。
船が新しく大きいから揺れにくいというのを見たけど
期待してはいけません。
船上で揺れた上、波があり潮がキツイ海に2度、3度入るとかなりの体力を消耗し、酔いやすくなります!
参加される方は、潮がキツイと判断したらただ浮いて下を見て浮いてるくらいに留めておいた方がいいかと思います。
泳ぎには自信があってもそういう問題ではないのだなと感じました。とにかく過信しないようにして下さい。
船上でも海中でもイルカを見れましたがこればかりは運です。プロモーションで多くのイルカが近くに寄ってきている写真を見ますがこれは期待してはいけません。かなり遠くで一瞬見れただけという人も多いと思います。
イルカだけなら他にも見れますし、触れ合える場所もあります。綺麗で穏やかな海でシュノーケリングも他で出来ます。
野生のイルカをとにかく見たい!という方以外には特にオススメするものでもないかなあ
This is a great, fun tour for groups and solo travelers alike. The staff is super friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make sure your experience is top notch. The diver propulsion vehicles are an extra bonus that no other tour operator offers that set apart Trident Adventures from others. Will definitely do again upon my next visit to Oahu.
So glad you had an awesome time! Thanks for joining us and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Oahu.
I was worried about getting seasick since I get motion sickness on airplanes, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I didn't feel sick at all! The captain's driving was amazing! During snorkeling, I saw a lot of fish, and a sea turtle even rushed towards us. I was told not to touch it, but it came over to me, so I couldn't help it, haha. The BBQ meat during the meal was very delicious. It's a shame I couldn't eat much because I was worried about seasickness. The staff's conversations were entertaining, and they even took a two-shot photo with us, making it a very fulfilling tour.
飛行機でも酔う程なので、船酔いが心配でしたが、酔い止めをのんだら全く船酔いしませんでした!船長さんの運転が素晴らしい!!シュノーケリングでは、魚もたくさん見れたし、海ガメがこちらに突進してきてきました。触ってはいけないと言われてたけど、海ガメから触りに来たから仕方ない笑 食事ではBBQのお肉がとても美味しかったです。船酔いが心配だったのであまり食べられなかったのが残念。スタッフの皆さんのトークが面白いし、ツーショット写メも撮ってくれてとても充実したツアーでした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Kaneohe Bay is relatively calm, so it is said that seasickness is less common compared to cruises in Waikiki. However, some guests may still experience it, so we are glad to hear that you took precautions against seasickness and were able to enjoy the tour until the end! 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 カネオヘ湾は比較的波も穏やかなので、ワイキキなどのクルーズと比べては船酔いは少ないとされております。が、それでも寄ってしまうお客様もいらっしゃいますので、船酔い対策をしてきていただき、最後までツアーを楽しんでいただけたようで、良かったです!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
Excursion was made online but had to be changed by email to the next day after the planned event. It all happened seamlessly! Thank you. We will use you again!
We made online reservations for the next day to Hanauma Bay snorkeling but had to change the reservation day and time and within a few short hours they change was made through email and the trip and driver were very nice!
I was able to see a lot of fish, and it became my favorite memory from my trip to Hawaii! I’m not good at swimming, and it was my husband’s first time snorkeling, but thanks to Chieko's careful support while I was swimming, I was able to swim with peace of mind. I didn’t have an underwater camera, but Dan took many photos and kindly provided them through Facebook, which was a great help. Chieko and Dan were very cheerful, and the atmosphere during the tour was always pleasant and fun. Thank you so much!
たくさんのお魚が見れて、ハワイ旅行で1番楽しい思い出になりました!
私は泳ぐのが苦手で、夫はシュノーケリング初めてだったのですが、ちえこさんが泳いでいる間もずっと丁寧にサポートしてくださったおかげで、安心して泳ぎ切ることができました。
水中カメラを持っていなかったのですが、代わりにダンさんがたくさんの写真を撮ってFacebook通じて提供してくださるので大変助かります。
ちえこさんとダンさんがとても明るく、ツアー中ずっと和やかな雰囲気で楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。
Dear Sada, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I am truly happy and honored to hear that it became your most enjoyable memory of your trip to Hawaii! We will continue to strive to ensure that first-time customers have a great experience, so we hope you will consider repeating your visit the next time you come to Hawaii. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
sada様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
ハワイ旅行で1番の楽しい思い出になっただなんて、私もDANも本当に嬉しく大変光栄に思います!!
これからも初めてのお客様に楽しんでいただける様に頑張りますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはリピートしていただければと思います。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
I was helped when they called me at the hotel 30 minutes before the meeting time. Also, the Japanese guide, Karen, and the other staff were very energetic, and I was able to participate without getting seasick.
The boat was new and had a slide, which made it really fun. I felt a thrill when sliding down the slide, haha.
I was able to see dolphins three times. The final dance by the staff was very uplifting, and it was so much fun to dance along with them.
At the end, they even put stickers on my favorite parts of my body. ^_^
集合時間30分前にホテルに電話をくれたので助かりました。また、日本人ガイドのカレンさんや他のスタッフの方もとても元気で船酔いもせず参加できました。
船も新らしくて滑り台も付いていたのでとっても楽しかったです。滑り台から滑るときはドキドキしました笑笑
いるかも3回見ることができました。スタッフろ方最後の踊りはとってもまた元気が出る踊りで一緒に踊れてとっても楽しかったです。
最後に体の好きなところに、シールも貼ってくれました^_^
The staff were very good at getting everyone excited and were great at talking. On the bus to the coast and when we first boarded the boat, they talked about various things like the spinner dolphins we were going to see that day, Hawaii, and snorkeling. I was particularly anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but they answered any questions I had.
Dolphins are spotted visually rather than using radar, so everyone looked out at the sea together, fostering a sense of unity among all the passengers.
Not only did we see spinner dolphins, but we also spotted wild bottlenose dolphins, and there were many large sea turtles swimming around.
The ocean was incredibly beautiful, and I thought, "This is definitely Hawaii."
スタッフさんはとても盛り上げ方が上手で話し上手でした。
海岸まで行くバスの中や、船に乗り込んだ最初は、この日見に行くハシナガイルカのこと、ハワイのこと、シュノーケルのことなどいろいろ話してくださいます。
特にシュノーケルが初めてで不安はありましたが、聞けば何でも答えてくれました。
イルカはレーダーなどではなく、目視で見つけるため、全員で一緒に海を眺めたりして、乗っているみんなの一致団結力も芽生えます。
ハシナガイルカだけではなく、野生のバンドウイルカも見ることができたり、大きなウミガメもたくさん泳いでいました。
海はとっても綺麗で、さすがハワイだなーと思いました。
ALOHA!
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School.
We appreciate you sharing your wonderful feedback.

This is my third time, and I was able to see sea turtles. I think there’s no better tour than this, so I definitely recommend participating. I suggest making an early reservation.
3回目ですが、ウミガメにあえました。こんなに良ツアーは
ないから絶対参加した方がいいと思います
早めの予約をお薦めします
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time, and welcome back!! We are truly honored by your kind words about our tour! We and all the staff are sincerely looking forward to your fourth visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。そしておかえりなさい!!弊社のツアーにそこまでのありがたいお言葉、大変光栄です!4回目のお越しもスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
This was my second time at Sandbar. I had previously known about Captain Bruce's tours but had avoided them due to the cost. This time, I booked it at the request of my companion, and I received services that exceeded the price. The food on the boat was delicious, and the number of people on the tour was not too large. The staff was kind, and I had a great time.
サンドバーは2度目でした。以前も、キャプテンブルースのツアーは知っていましたが、料金面で避けておりました。
今回は、同行者の希望でこちらを予約しましたが、料金以上のサービスを受けられました。
船上の食事も美味しかったですし、ツアーの人数も多すぎず、スタッフも親切で楽しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Our team is dedicated to providing services and hospitality that exceed the amount you paid. We are delighted to hear that you were satisfied!! We 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。弊社では、お客様にお支払いいただいた金額以上のサービス、ホスピタリティーを提供させていただくべく、スタッフ一同、日々努力を重ねております。ご満足いただけたようで嬉しく思います!!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I participated five years ago, and although it was tough, it became a wonderful memory, so I joined again this time, but I was disappointed.
The meeting time was set for 5:55 AM, but the staff arrived more than 30 minutes late. During that time, a staff member from Dolphin University came, but without saying a word to the anxious middle school participants, they only took attendance for the university participants and left. The staff who arrived late, including someone who claimed to be the president, only said, "I'm sorry for the trouble," without explaining why they were late. They repeatedly mentioned how hectic it was, but that doesn't concern the participants. I believe they should at least properly explain the circumstances behind the delay.
We set out to sea about 30 minutes late, but in the end, we only saw dolphins for a few seconds. Later, several staff members told us, "The dolphins were far away today." I understand that luck plays a role, but I couldn't help but think that if there hadn't been a delay, we might have seen more.
Five years ago, we entered the sea multiple times to see dolphins, but this time we only saw them for a few seconds before moving to a shallower area to snorkel at a spot with coral. Honestly, there are other places with prettier coral than here, and I felt that it wasn't necessary to do this in Hawaii.
During snorkeling, I was told beforehand that it was okay to remove flotation devices, but since no one had taken them off, I asked a woman who seemed to be the captain for confirmation. Without looking up from her phone, she said, "If you can swim, then," which felt a bit rude.
I also purchased photos, and while we were able to take turns on the boat, the only photos taken while swimming were group photos. I was diving to see turtles while snorkeling, but there were no pictures of me or my friend in the water, so I would have appreciated more consideration for capturing moments in the sea.
I understand that the situation with the dolphins depends on luck, but this time, I was disappointed with the staff's response in various aspects.
5年前にも参加し、ハードだったけどすごくいい思い出になったので再度参加しましたが、今回はガッカリしました。
05:55という早朝の集合時間でしたが、スタッフが来たのは30分以上過ぎてから。途中イルカ大学のスタッフが来ましたが、不安な顔をしている中学の参加者に一声もかけずに、大学参加者の点呼だけ取って行ってしまいました。
遅れてきたスタッフも学長だという方も「トラブルでバタバタしてすいませんでした」と言うだけで、なぜ遅れたのか理由も説明されませんでした。バタバタして大変だったと何度も言われましたが、大変だったのは参加者側には関係ないことです。なぜ遅れたかの事情の説明くらいはきちんとするべきだと思います。
30分ほど出航が遅れた状態で海に出ましたが、結局イルカが見れたのは数秒だけ。後から複数のスタッフに「今日はイルカが遠くに行ってた」と言われました。運に左右されるのは理解してますが、遅れなければもっと見れたかもしれないんじゃ?と思わざるを得ませんでした。
5年前は何度か場所を変えてイルカを見に海に入りましたが、今回は数秒見てイルカは終了、浅めの場所へ移動してサンゴがあるところでシュノーケルになりました。正直ここよりサンゴが綺麗な海は他にあるし、わざわざハワイでしなくてもいいなあという感想でした。
シュノーケルの際、事前に浮具を外してもいいと言われていましたが、誰も外していなかったので確認のために船長?の女性に声をかけた際、顔も上げずに携帯を見ながら「泳げるならね」と言われたのもちょっと感じが悪かったです。
また写真を購入しましたが、船上では順番に撮っていただけましたが、泳いでいる最中の写真は集合写真のみ。シュノーケルでカメを見に潜ったりしてましたが、私と友人の海での写真は一枚もなかったので、海でも満遍なく撮影するよう配慮していただきたかったです。
イルカの状況が運次第なのは納得していますが、今回はいろんな面でスタッフの方々の対応が残念でした。
Thank you for participating in Dolphin Junior High. I apologize for the lack of sincerity in the staff's response on the day of the event. Thank you for your valuable feedback.
この度はイルカ中学へのご参加ありがとうございました。
当日のスタッフの対応について、誠意が欠けておりましたこと申し訳御座いません。
貴重なご意見をありがとうございます。
I thought snorkeling would be about swimming close to dolphins, but what I actually saw was dolphins swimming quickly below. After the snorkeling ended and we got back on the boat, I was lucky enough to see a large group of dolphins up close, and I thought it would have been great to snorkel with them at that moment! I heard that this was still considered lucky.
However, since it’s nature, I had to convince myself that it can’t be helped. The dolphin snorkeling was a bit disappointing in that sense, but unexpectedly, I also got to see turtles while snorkeling and tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, which was really fun. The staff were great too! The weather was beautiful, and it was a really enjoyable experience.
Since it’s nature, I guess luck with the weather plays a role, and while it was different from my image of dolphin snorkeling, I had a great time.
シュノーケリングでイルカ、思ってたのは近くでイルカと泳ぐという感じだったけど、実際見れたのは、下の方を早いスピードで泳ぐイルカを見る、というものでした。
シュノーケリングが終わり船に上がってからの方が、運良く近くでイルカの群れを大量に見るという感じで、この時にイルカと一緒にシュノーケリングできたらいいなぁと思いました!これでも運が良いらしいです。
でも、自然が相手だからしょうがないかな、と自分を納得させ。
イルカシュノーケリングはそういう意味で期待外れだったけど、まさかのシュノーケリングで亀も見れたし、はじめてSUPをしてみたりと、とても面白かったです。スタッフの方もいい感じでした!晴天ですごく良かった、面白かったです。
やっぱり自然相手なので、天気など運も関係するのでしょう、イルカシュノーケリングのイメージとは違ったけどとても楽しめました。
Great experience but wish it was with better weather. High tide and very choppy waters made visibility difficult. Still a good opportunity!
The early morning pickup was surprisingly ahead of schedule! It wasn't Hawaiian time! (laughs)
It took about an hour to reach the harbor. We had to wait on the boat for a while before encountering dolphins. However, we eventually came across a pod of dolphins!
When jumping into the water, you need to go with momentum; otherwise, it might be scary for those who aren't used to diving or snorkeling. We changed locations a few times and dove three times in total. It was quite intense (of course, it's okay to stay on the boat if you get tired).
Unfortunately, we didn't see many dolphins underwater, but after getting back on the boat, we encountered a pod of nearly 100 dolphins! After dolphin watching, we moved to a snorkeling point where we saw turtles and played with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
It was quite a packed experience, and the crew was cheerful, making the time fly by. I would love to participate again.
Oh, the eco-bag that serves as a substitute for a graduation certificate can be picked up at the Waikiki office (2nd floor of Waikiki Shopping Plaza) after returning to Waikiki. Surprisingly, it comes in handy for shopping in Japan, so I recommend getting it! (laughs)
1早朝のお迎えでしたが時間よりも早くバスが迎えにきました。ハワイアンタイムではないことに驚き!笑
1時間ほどで船着場へ。
参加した会は中々イルカに出会えず暫く船上で待機をしました。が、無事イルカの群れに遭遇!
海に飛び込むときは勢いで行かないとダイビングやシュノーケルに慣れていない人は怖いかも…
何箇所か場所を変えて計3回ダイブしました。
結構ハードです(勿論疲れたら船の上に残っていてもOK)
残念ながら水中ではあまりイルカの姿を見られなかったのですが船に上がった後に100頭近くの群れに出会えました!
イルカウォッチの後はシュノーケルポイントへ移動して亀を見たりSUPをしたりして遊びました。
かなり盛り沢山でクルーの皆さんも明るくあっという間に時間が過ぎていきました。
また参加したいです。
あ、卒業証書替わりのエコバッグはワイキキに帰った後ワイキキのオフィス(ワイキキショッピングプラザ2F)へ貰いに行くパターンでした。
これが意外と日本で買い物をする時に使えるので貰っておくのがオススメです笑

We had a great time. Despite Neptune whipping sand up into the water making the clarity poor the crew made up for it and ensured we had a great time. We still saw green sea turtles both below and above the water. We had a great time just sailing the Cat when it was clear that snorkeling conditions weren't great.
I finally got to see a sea turtle! I was so happy to see it up close, and the guide was bright, fun, and amazing! I was also thrilled that I could do stand-up paddleboarding.
念願のウミガメに会えました!
近くで見ることが出来て嬉しかったし
ガイドさんが明るく楽しく最高でした!
サップが出来た事も嬉しかったです
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. It was great to meet the turtles!! Happiness is on its way! 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。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。 亀さんに会えて良かったです!!幸せがやってきますよ!またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I was thrilled to see dolphins so clearly! I didn't expect to see them up close, so it was truly moving. The slide activity was incredibly fun!
イルカがばっちり見れて最高でした!
こんなに近くで見れると思ってなかったので感動でした。
アクティビティの滑り台が最高に楽しかったです!
Departure at 11:00 is great. If you take the first flight, you might end up boarding the boat sleep-deprived, which can make you more prone to seasickness. So, for those who are sensitive, I recommend the second departure to get a good sleep, enjoy breakfast slowly, take some motion sickness medication, and then head to the boat! Thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the activities on the boat without getting seasick.
All the staff were cheerful, and I felt just as relaxed as I did with the dolphins! In Japan, every day is about worrying if you have to conform to certain expectations, but participating in this tour reminded me of the importance of living authentically. I got to see many dolphins and colorful fish, and I was able to fully experience the Hawaiian sea without getting bored, thanks to activities like SUP and the slide on the boat! Mahalo!
11時出発、すごくいいです。1便だと、睡眠不足で船に乗ることになるので、酔いやすい方は2便の出発にして、よく寝て、朝食をゆっくり食べて、酔い止め飲んで船へ!お陰様で、酔うことなく船でのアクティビティを全力で楽しむことができました。
スタッフは全員愉快で、イルカと同じくらい癒されました!日本だと◯◯でなければならないと人に気をつかう毎日ですが、このツアーに参加して自分らしく生きることの大切さを思い出した気がしました。たくさんのイルカ、カラフルな魚にも会えて、SUPや船についてるスベリ台など、飽きずにハワイの海を全身に感じることができました!mahalo!
ALOHA!

I participated in the afternoon session. The sandbar had water up to my knees even in shallow areas. Still, I was able to take many wonderful photos! The staff members all spoke Japanese and were very proactive in taking pictures and showing great consideration. Also, the lunch was delicious! It was so good that I went back for seconds! Snorkeling was a lot of fun, with sea turtles coming very close and plenty of fish to see!! If you have a GoPro, you can capture the fish and sea turtles underwater, so I definitely recommend bringing one if you have it! It would also be great to have a float. I participated in November, and while it was a warm day, the water was still a bit cold... I recommend bringing a thick hoodie ('ω').
I definitely want to participate again (〃ω〃)ノ
午後の部に参加させていただきました。
サンドバーは、浅いところでも水が膝上くらいでした。
それでも、素敵な写真がたくさん取れました!
スタッフさんが日本語が話せる方ばっかりで積極的に写真を撮ってくださったり、気配りも素晴らしかったです。
そして、ランチが美味しかったです!
美味しくて、おかわりをしちゃうくらいでした!
シュノーケリングも、ウミガメがとっても近くて魚もいっぱい見れてとても楽しかったです!!
Go Proがあれば、水の中のお魚やウミガメも撮れるので、ある方は絶対持って行った方が良いです!浮きがあればなお良いと思います。
11月の参加で、暖かい日でしたが、それでも水の中が少し寒かった…。厚手のパーカーを持っていくことをお勧めします('ω')
またぜひ、参加したいと思います(〃ω〃)ノ
