Oahu
(1) When I arrived around 11 o'clock, the water level was up to my waist due to the tides. It's not sandy like in the pictures, so those who want to stay dry should be careful.
(2) I swam near the coral reef where I could see fish up close while snorkeling. I took off my glasses and injured my knee on the shallow coral reef. Those with poor eyesight should be careful.
⑴ 私が到着した11時頃は潮の関係で腰まで水位がありました。写真のような砂地ではありませんので濡れたくない人はご注意ください。
⑵ シュノーケリングで魚が身近に見える珊瑚礁付近を泳ぎました。メガネを外していたので浅瀬の珊瑚礁で膝を怪我しました。目の悪い方、ご注意ください。
We participated as a couple. Thanks to Chieko and Dan, we had a wonderful time. Swimming over the coral reef, there were fish right in front of us, and it felt like we were swimming together. The explanation for snorkeling was easy to understand, so we could swim with peace of mind. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any sea turtles, but we were pleasantly surprised to meet two seals. Thank you very much.
夫婦で参加しました。チエコさんとダンさんのおかげで、とっても楽しく過ごせました。サンゴ礁の上を泳ぐと魚が目の前にいて、一緒に泳いでいる気分です。シュノーケルの説明も分かりやすく安心して泳げました。残念ながらウミガメには会えませんでしたが、2頭のアザラシに会えて嬉しいびっくりでした。ありがとうございました。
Thank you for joining the tour with your spouse. The best time to see fish in Hanauma Bay is when you can swim over the coral reefs, making it feel like you're swimming inside an aquarium. Recently, Hawaiian monk seals have been spotted more often than sea turtles. And on this day, you were lucky to see two of them! Please be sure to join us again when you come back to Hawaii. I will do my best to ensure you see sea turtles next time. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度は御夫婦でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。ハナウマ湾は珊瑚礁の上を泳げる時が一番お魚が見れますので、本当に水族館の中を泳いでいる様ですね。最近はウミガメよりもハワイアンモンクシール(アザラシ)の方がよく見れるんですよ。しかもこの日は2頭なんて、良かったですね。是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにリピートしてくださいね。その時はウミガメが見れる様に頑張ります。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
While following Chieko and Dan, looking at many fish one after another, I realized that I had swum quite a distance without even noticing. Although we usually feel our lack of stamina, thanks to the friendly and kind nature of the two of them, who held our hands along the way, we were able to enjoy ourselves and feel safe until the end. I'm really glad we chose this course. Thank you very much.
たくさんのお魚を、次から次へと見ながら、ちえこさん、ダンさんについて行くうちに、いつのまにかたくさんの距離を泳げていました。
体力のなさを日頃から痛感している私たちでしたが、途中から手を繋いでくださったり、気さくで優しいお2人のおかげで、最後まで楽しく安心して過ごせました。
このコースを選んで本当に良かったと思います。
ありがとうございました。
Dear Hiko, thank you for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. It's great that even beginners can enjoy a leisurely fish-watching experience as long as they get accustomed to breathing. If you find swimming challenging or feel tired, our instructors are here to assist you, so please join us again when you come back to Hawaii. Let's swim together again!! Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
hiko様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございます。初めての方でも呼吸に慣れていただければ、どなたでもゆっくりお魚ウォッチングを楽しんでいただけるのがシュノーケリングの良い所ですね。泳ぎが苦手な方やお疲れかなと思った時は私たちインストラクターがお手伝いいたしますので、またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーにお越しくださいね。また一緒に泳ぎましょう!!本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
In the morning, I was worried that my children might get seasick, so I gave them some candy for motion sickness. However, as soon as the boat set off, there was no time to feel sick, and we got to see dolphins and sea turtles. My one-year-old son was also having fun on the boat, pointing and saying "Ah, ah." My elementary school daughter got super excited when she swam and saw a huge group of dolphins in the direction the instructor was pointing! Even my dad, who isn't a great swimmer, and my grandmother, who is over 70, all enjoyed it together.
I definitely want to go again the next time we visit Hawaii. It was really fun!
朝は早く、子供が酔わないか心配だったので、飴の酔い止めを舐めさせました。
でも船が出て酔う暇もなく、イルカや、ウミガメに会えました。
1歳の息子も船の上から「あ、あ、」と指を差しながら楽しんでいました。
小学生の娘は泳いでインストラクターの指す方向を向くとイルカの大群を見て大興奮!!
泳ぎの苦手なパパも、70過ぎのばあばもみんなで楽しめました。
次にハワイに行くときも絶対に行こうと思っています。本当に楽しかったー
Please come and visit with your family again!
Mahalo
また家族皆様で遊びに来て下さいね!

I had wanted to go for a long time, and this time my wish came true. The weather wasn't very good, but even in the shallowest areas, the water depth was up to my knees. I should have checked the tide times a bit more and planned my schedule accordingly. After that, I went to Maui, and the ocean there was definitely much more beautiful. I got to see turtles!
ずっと行きたかったのですが、今回念願叶い参加しました。天気もあまりよくなかったこともありますが、一番浅いところでもひざ下までの水深で、もう少し満ち引きの時間を調べて日程を決めればよかったです。
その後Mauiに行きましたが、海は断然そちらの方が綺麗でした。
亀には会えました!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We were glad to meet the turtles! 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。カメに会えてよかったです! 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。
I have signed up for dolphin tours in various places, but this was my first time with Dolphin Junior High. The weather was great, perfect for a day at sea! The bus was large and impressive, and the boat was quite nice as well. Since it involves nature, the schedule was fluid, and I understand that they were trying their best, but it felt a bit chaotic at times. The photographer's work was inconsistent, so I decided not to purchase any photos.
イルカツアーは色々なところに申し込み毎回行っていますが、イルカ中学は初めてでした。
お天気良く最高の海日和!バスは大きく立派、船もなかなかです。内容的には自然相手なので流動的で、必死なのはわかりますが…ちょっとばたついてました。カメラマンさんは撮影にムラがあるので購入しませんでした。
Thank you for your feedback. I will take it into consideration for the future.
ご意見ありがとうございます。
今後の参考にさせて頂きます。
I joined because I wanted to meet sea turtles. The weather wasn't great, but the captain grilled the BBQ patties, which were thick and delicious. It was my first experience playing beach volleyball, and everyone from different countries cooperated, making it much more fun than I expected.
ウミガメに会いたくて参加しましたお天気がイマイチでしたが、BBQのパテは船長さんが焼いてくれ、分厚くて美味しかったですビーチバレー初体験でしたが、多国籍のみんなが協力して思った以上にメチャ楽しかったです
It might have been because of the rain, but I felt like, "Where's the sandbar???" There was no white sandy beach anywhere, the sea was murky, and the scenery was the worst.
However, the crew members were very cheerful and kind, which made for a fun time!
雨だったせいもあるけど、サンドバーどこ????って感じで、白い砂浜なんてどこにもなく、海はにごり、景色は最悪でした。
でもクルーのみなさんはとても陽気で優しくておかげで楽しい時間になりました!
It seems that a sandy beach forms in the middle of the sea due to the tides, but when I participated, the water was already up to my waist, so I couldn't walk on the beach.
I went snorkeling to see turtles and fish in deeper areas, but I gave up halfway. I was thinking, "Oh, I wanted to see them..." when the staff called a turtle over (was it their pet? lol), and I was able to swim with the turtle in shallower water! So, don't worry if you can't snorkel... it's not a big deal!
After that, we played on stand-up paddleboards and had a BBQ lunch on the boat! The food was really delicious!! The staff were bright and funny people! I wish I had given them a tip (;^_^A.
満ち引きによって海の真ん中に砂浜ができるみたいなのですが、私が参加したときはもう腰くらいまで海水があって砂浜を歩くことはできませんでした。
シュノーケルで深いところまで行ってカメや魚を見るのですが、私は途中までいって断念。あーあ、見たかったなー・・・と思っていたらスタッフさんがカメを呼んでくれて(スタッフさんのペット?笑)浅いところでもカメと泳ぐことができました!
ですからシュノーケルできないし・・・と残念に思わなくて大丈夫です!
そのあとはスタンドアップボードで遊んだり、船の上でBBQランチ!
料理がとてもおいしかったです!!
スタッフさんも明るくて面白い方でした!チップ渡せばよかった(;^_^A
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for joining us. The turtles are such important companions that they almost feel like they work for our company, entertaining our guests! They are 100% wild, though. I’m really glad you were able to swim with the turtles! 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。カメさんは、ペットと言いますか、むしろ弊社で働いているんじゃないか!!と思うくらい、お客様を楽しませてくれる大事な仲間です。100%野生なんですけどね。カメさんと泳ぐことが出来て本当によかったです! 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。
The moment I got on the bus early in the morning while still feeling sleepy, Michael (the photographer) was so high-energy that it shook off my drowsiness. Listening to our guide Natsumi's explanations made the travel time fly by.
The crew on the boat was also lively and cheerful, and at first, I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but by the time we were heading back, I was completely hooked. The staff was dedicated to finding dolphins, and we had two dolphin dives where I got to swim with many dolphins right beneath me.
This tour was incredibly fun. Every time our eyes met, the staff would engage with us. Especially Michael, who, despite being a photographer, really energized everyone. I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was a refreshing and immensely satisfying experience. I definitely want to participate again.
朝早くまだ眠い中バスに乗った瞬間、マイコー(フォトグラファー)のハイテンションに眠気もさめガイドのナツミさんの説明を聞きながらあっという間の移動時間でした。
船のクルーたちも皆元気で明るくテンション高く、最初はついていけないかな?とちょっと不安もありましたが、帰るころにはすっかりはまってました。
イルカ探しにスタッフが一生懸命で、イルカダイブも2回あり自分の真下にたくさんのイルカを見ながら泳げました。
このツアーは最高に楽しませてくれます。目が合うたびにスタッフが声をかけてくれます。
特にマイコーはフォトグラファーなのにとにかく皆を元気にしてくれます。
ハワイは何度も行ってますが、久しぶりに楽しく大大大満足でした。
是非又参加したいです。
The dolphin tour is full of energy thanks to the natural power of Hawaii! Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo.
イルカツアーはハワイの自然パワーもありみんな元気一杯です!
また遊びに来てくださいね。
Mahalo
My family had a great time. Thanks Riley and your team for an outstanding customer service, very well organized and awesome hospitality.
We participated as a family of three because we wanted to see the sandbar. Since two of us can't swim, we were looking for a tour that would be easy for non-swimmers to join, and we found this one.
The Angel Sea was very beautiful! Perhaps due to the timing, the sandbar wasn't visible, but the water's clarity was incredible! We learned how to use the snorkeling gear and had a fun experience in a safe area. We also got to see sea turtles from the boat and throw bread to the fish, which was a unique experience. The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーが見たくて家族3人で参加しました。3人のうち2人が泳げないので、そういう人も気軽に参加できるツアーを探してたところこちらのツアーを見つけ、今回参加してみました。
天使の海はとても綺麗でした!時間帯のせいか中洲は現れてなかったのですが、海の透明度が半端なかったです!そこでシュノーケリングの使い方を習い、安全な場所で楽しく体験出来ました。また、船から海ガメを見ることができたり、魚にパンを投げたり今までにない体験が出来ました。船の中で食べたハンバーガーは美味しかった!
Loved the volleyball game- perfect fun for my teenage boys! We saw lots of turtles and a Ray! Enjoyed the excursion!!! Thanks to you- a happy crew
In Hawaii, the weather unexpectedly turned bad, and it was raining, making it difficult to find a pod of dolphins. However, thanks to the captain's perseverance, we were able to find a pod of wild dolphins, and the kids were overjoyed.
ハワイでは珍しく天気が悪くなってしまい、雨が降る中、なかなか群れが見つけられずにいましたが、船長さんが諦めずに探してくれたおかげで野生のイルカの群れを見つけることができ、子供も大喜びでした。
Since they are wild animals, it can be difficult to encounter them, but I'm glad we were able to meet.
野生の生き物なのでなかなか会えないこともございますが、出会うことができてよかったです。
Yuki, the Japanese staff member, accompanied us and provided various explanations. It was clear that the other staff members were also attentive to safety. The hamburgers we had for lunch were delicious. Since we went out on a sunny day, it seemed that members who used sun visors also got sunburned on their heads. Don't forget hats and sunscreen!
We had a valuable experience encountering sea turtles and swimming around the coral reefs while snorkeling. It's understandable that there are repeat visitors.
日本人スタッフユキさんが同乗、色々説明していただき、また他のスタッフも安全に配慮している様子がうかがえました。お昼のハンバーガーが美味しかったです。晴天日に出かけたので、サンバイザー使用のメンバーは頭も日焼けしたようです。帽子、日焼け止めなど忘れずに!
うみがめとの遭遇、シュノーケルでサンゴ礁の周りを泳いだり、と貴重な体験をしました。リピーターの方がいらっしゃるのも納得です
The staff members were very good! It was reassuring because everything was easy to understand in Japanese. The malasadas and lunch we had on the boat were even more delicious than we expected.
スタッフの方々がとても良い!日本語でわかりやすいので安心でした。船の上で食べるマラサダとランチが期待以上に美味しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We appreciate your warm words to our staff. We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
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。スタッフへの暖かいお言葉、ありがとうございます。 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。
Waking up early was worth it! When we participated, we quickly got to see dolphins, and it seemed like we were close to the snorkeling spot, so we could stay in the water for a long time. We also got to see sea turtles! Since there were a lot of people, I thought some might find it a bit hard to see the dolphins and turtles when everyone gathered around. The staff were all cheerful, and we had a great time (^_^) The ocean was very beautiful too!
There were also slides from the SUP and the boat, and they played the ukulele for us, finishing with a group hula dance, which was a lot of fun. We had a very fulfilling time! For those who are not good at swimming, I think they provide something like a floatation device, so that should be reassuring.
It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki to the ocean, so I thought it would be wise to take motion sickness medication. For lunch, we had cheeseburgers this time! They also prepared snacks, juice, and water!
早起きした甲斐がありました!
私たちが参加した時はイルカにもすぐ会えて、シュノーケリングスポットの近くだったようなので長い間海にいることができました。ウミガメにも会えました!人数が多いのでイルカや亀がいると全員が集まってくるので少し見づらい方も中にはいるかなと思いました。スタッフの皆さんも陽気な方ばかりで楽しく過ごすことが出来ました(^_^)海もとても綺麗でした!
SUPや船から滑り台もあり、ウクレレも弾いてくれて最後は全員でフラダンス笑。とても充実した時間を過ごすことができました!泳ぐのが苦手な方は浮くことのできる棒のようなものを渡してくれるはずなので安心かなと思います。
ワイキキから海までバスの時間が1時間?位あったので酔い止め飲んでた方が安心だなと思いました。
お昼ご飯は今回はチーズバーガーでした!スナックとジュース、お水も準備してくれてます!
Thank you for participating! I'm curious about your thoughts on the "bouncy sea."
ご参加ありがとうございました!
”とぅるんとぅるんな海”の感想が気になります。
The sandbar was more beautiful than I expected, and I was moved. Kailua Beach was also breathtaking. The Lanikai Pillbox was steeper than I anticipated and quite challenging.
サンドバーが予想以上に綺麗で感動しました。
カイルアビーチも絶景でした。
ラニカイピルボックスが予想以上に急斜面で
大変でした。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We appreciate you sharing your photos enjoying the sandbar and Kailua. The pictures from the Pillbox are also very beautiful! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.
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。サンドバー、カイルアを満喫した写真のシェアありがとうございます。ピルボックスからの写真もとても綺麗ですね!! 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 went snorkeling for the first time. To be honest, I'm not a good swimmer and I was scared of not being able to touch the ground, but since I came all the way to Hawaii, I thought I should give it a try at least once. The ocean was so beautiful, and it was a lot of fun swimming while looking at the underwater scenery. I didn't see any dolphins on the first try, and on the second try, I was too tired and just watched from the boat.
For lunch, they give you a hamburger, and you can add tomatoes, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard while sitting down, so you don't have to worry. The hamburgers and snacks were delicious, and the view was stunning—it was the best! Many people got seasick, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance if you're worried about that.
初めてシュノーケリングをしました。
実は泳ぐのが苦手で地に足が着かないのも怖くて嫌だったのですが、せっかくハワイに来たので1回くらい…と思って参加しました。
海がとても綺麗で、海の中を見ながら泳げてとても楽しかったです。
1回目ではイルカが見れず、2回目は体力がなくて船の上から見ました(^^;
お昼のハンバーガーは貰ってからトマトやレタス、ケチャップやマスタードをつけてくれるので座ってて大丈夫です。
ハンバーガーもスナックも美味しいし景色も綺麗で最高でした!
船酔いする方が多かったので、心配な方は事前に酔い止めを飲むのを強くオススメします。
The staff and guides were all kind, and they took wonderful photos for us. I was a bit anxious about when to give a tip, but they helped by indicating the right timing. I'm glad I went snorkeling.
スタッフ、ガイドさんたちがみなさん親切でステキな写真も撮っていただけました。どのタイミングでチップを渡すのかわからずソワソワしていたのですが、むこうからタイミングを示していただけたので助かりました。シュノーケリングやってよかったです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We appreciate your thoughtful tip. We are glad to hear that you were satisfied with our staff's service. 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。チップのお心遣いありがとうございました。スタッフのサービスに満足して頂けたようで、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。
There were dolphins, and I jumped in. They quickly swam away, and I hoped for a chance to try again, but that was it. I didn't even get lunch on the bus ride back, so I was really hungry.
イルカがいて飛び込みました。
すぐに泳ぎ去り、再チャレンジを期待しましたが、おしまいでした。
ランチが帰りのバスまでもらえなくて、腹ペコでした。
The weather was great! The hamburgers were delicious! It's just a shame that I couldn't see many sea turtles.
天気も良くて最高でした!
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
ただウミガメがあまりみれなかったのが残念でした
I had a great time with my close friends at the beautiful sea, playing with sea turtles and enjoying snorkeling! The barbecue was incredibly delicious, and the staff were so much fun; it was the best! I was so happy to laugh so much on a magical carpet floating on the sea. I want to go again! Hawaii is amazing. This tour was awesome!
仲の良い仲間と綺麗な海、ウミガメと戯れ、シュノーケリングも楽しみました!!
バーベキューもめちゃくちゃ美味しくて、スタッフの皆さんが楽しくて最高でした!!海に浮かぶ魔法のじゅうたん一枚であんなに笑えるとはすごく笑って幸せでした。
また行きたいです!!
ハワイサイコー
このツアーサイコー
でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The magic carpet may seem plain at first glance, but it's really fun!! We're glad you understood that joy!! 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。一見地味に見える魔法のじゅうたんですが、面白いんですよね!!あの楽しさを分かって頂けて嬉しいです!!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。
At first I thought this would not be enough time but we were able to spend as much or little time as needed on whatever we wanted to do. The crew were helpful in training us beginners on SUP. I recommend this for advanced or beginners of all ages.
The weather was nice, there weren't too many people, the guide was fun, and we got to see dolphins. The baby spinner dolphins jumped and spun a lot, and I definitely want to participate again.
天気も良く、人数も多過ぎず、ガイドさんも楽しく、盛り上がってイルカが見れました。 ベビースピナーが沢山ジャンプスピンを見せてくれて、また是非参加したいと思いました。
Please come back to see the baby dolphin grow up! We are looking forward to your visit!
赤ちゃんイルカが大きくなったのをまた見に来てくださいね。
お待ちしています!
The sea was blue, the mountains were beautiful, and there were many dolphins and sea turtles... It was an incredibly wonderful experience. The staff were all fun people, and I had a great time. Since it was an early morning tour, I had plenty of time in the afternoon, which was very nice. Next, I want to enroll in Manta University on the Big Island.
海が青く、綺麗な山々、たくさんのイルカとウミガメ…
信じられないくらい素敵な体験でした。
スタッフも皆さん楽しい方々で、いい時間を過ごせました。
朝早くからのツアーだったので、昼からもたっぷり時間があり、とても良かったです。
次はハワイ島でマンタ大学に入学したいです。
Thank you for participating. We look forward to seeing you next time at Manta University on the Big Island!
ごさんかありがとうございました。
次回はぜひハワイ島のマンタ大学でおまちしています!
My clients had nothing but good things to say about this experience!
What an awesome experience I got to share with my son for his 18th birthday. The guide's, Dan and his wife were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely worth the money. I would highly recommend.
Thank you Chris, you guys did great. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.
The Sandbar was breathtaking. We took so many beautiful pics to remember our tour. I would definitely go back with people that haven’t been there just to take more pics. You can play volleyball at the Sandbar and practice snorkeling before the deep sea snorkeling afterwards. Staff was the friendliest and made it a memorable experience. Go, you won’t regret going.
Beautiful and a lot of fun!! The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. I loved seeing the sea turtles and feeding the fish on the snorkeling part of the excursion. Sandbar volleyball was fun! I LOVED this excursion!!
