I wanted to go to the sandbar to take photos and use the afternoon for something else, so I signed up for this tour. It wasn't the best timing, so the water was only knee-deep, but I was glad to get some beautiful pictures. I also got to see a sea turtle! It got very cold when the sun went down, and I was shivering after snorkeling, so I recommend that those who are sensitive to the cold prepare accordingly!
サンドバーに行って写真を撮りたかったのと、午後は別のことに使いたかったのでこちらのツアーに申し込みました。ベストタイミングではなかったので、浅瀬でひざ程度でしたが、綺麗な写真が撮れてよかったです。ウミガメにも会えました!陽が陰るととても寒く、シュノーケル後はガクガクなので、寒がりの方は準備することをおすすめします!

I participated in a morning plan that was not too strenuous since I have a one-year-old daughter. The timing felt just right and I didn’t think it was too short. There was a downpour at one point, but we were blessed with great weather at the sandbar. On the boat, I was comfortable in just a rash guard. The light snacks included simple sandwiches and drinks. We were able to see sea turtles, and my daughter was delighted. The staff was very considerate of the children, which made me feel safe participating! I recommend using a waterproof cover for your phone.
一歳の娘がいたので、あまり無理のない、午前中プランで参加しました。時間はちょうど良く短いとは感じませんでした。途中スコールが降ったりもしましたが、サンドバーではとてもいい天気に恵まれました。船の上はラッシュガード一枚で過ごせました。軽食は簡単なサンドウィッチとドリンクでした。ウミガメも見れ、娘も喜んでいました。スタッフの皆さんが子供にとても配慮してくれて、安心して参加できました!!携帯は水用のカバーをオススメします。

It was a trip to Hawaii with my parents and my three daughters, who are each married. Even my father, who couldn't go into the ocean, was happy to see sea turtles and manta rays. The local staff were very kind, and the lunch burgers were delicious, leaving us very satisfied ❤️

The tides can vary, so there might be some unpredictability, and it seems we hit the highest tide, which felt more like swimming in a shallow area than at a sandbar. It's hard to predict these things, and I felt a bit disappointed. However, the hospitality from the staff, including the explaining lady and the foreign staff members, was exceptional. If the sand had been visible and we had the same staff for this tour, I believe it would have been the best experience in Hawaii. Since we can't control the weather and nature, I recommend that those with a longer travel itinerary check the tides before going.
潮の満ち引きによりあたりはずれがあるのでしょうが一番満潮にあたってしまったようで、サンドバーというよりは浅瀬で泳いだという感じでした。
なかなか予測はできないのでしょうが、残念な気がしました。
ところが説明のお姉さんや外人のスタッフの方のおもてなしは半端ではなく、もし砂も見えてこのツアーの同じスタッフだったら最高のハワイの体験になったと感じました。
天候や自然の事は操作はできないので、ある程度旅行の日程が長い方は潮の満ち引きを調べてから行くのをお勧めします。

Zoe and Natalie were amazing guides. Both were friendly, patient and informative. We loved the kayaking and for me it was my first time snorkeling. We battled sun, wind and a rain storm-very interesting. Lunch at the end was just the icing on the cake. Starving after all our hard work!

This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to try something new, so I joined this tour. The weather was great, and I was able to take some beautiful photos. I also enjoyed snorkeling nearby and had the chance to encounter a turtle, making it an amazing day. Since I went barefoot, it was a bit painful walking on the sand, so next time, I think I'll bring some water sandals.

It was an incredibly beautiful sea, and it was a very precious experience. Both Chieko and Dan provided very careful guidance, so my daughter and wife, who can't swim, enjoyed snorkeling without any anxiety! I signed up after reading the reviews, so it was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles. I brought an underwater camera, and when I looked at the photos later, I was surprised to see so many different kinds of fish! I actually saw them, though (laughs). Since it was a long snorkeling session, I was really thirsty towards the end. We received water after snorkeling, but I think it would be better to distribute it beforehand so we could take a sip or two before heading out. I thought it was just me, but my daughter also said she was so thirsty she thought she might die (of course, she was joking). If I get to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely repeat this tour! I'm also happy that there's a service to download photos from the internet. I'll definitely go again!
メチャメチャ綺麗な海で、とても貴重な体験でした。Chiekoさんも、Danさんもとても丁寧に指導してくれたので、泳げない娘と嫁も不安なくシュノーケリングを楽しみました!クチコミを読んで申し込んだので、ウミガメが見られなかった事だけが残念です。水中で使えるカメラを持って行ったのですが、後で写真を見たら、本当に色々な種類の魚達が写っていて驚きました!実際見ているのですが(笑)。長時間のシュノーケリングだったので、後半は喉が渇いてカラカラになっていました。シュノーケル後にお水を頂きましたが、先に配って頂いて、一口二口飲んでから出発の方が良いと思います。僕だけかと思っていたら、娘も喉がカラカラで死ぬかと思った(勿論冗談ですが)と、言ってました。またハワイに行けたら、このツアーはリピートありです!ネットから写真をダウンロード出来るのも嬉しいサービスです。また行きま~す!
Thank you, Kohe, for participating in the Blue Hawaii Divers tour with your family. At Hanauma Bay, you can observe various types of fish, including large fish, colorful beautiful fish, and schools of fish swimming together. It's truly a fun beach to dive into at any time. Unfortunately, this time we weren't able to show you any turtles, and I apologize for that. Since they are wild creatures, there are times when you can see them and times when you cannot. Please do come back to Hawaii again, and let's go look for turtles! I look forward to seeing you all again. Thank you. Mahalo!!

Even though it's called turtle watching, you only see turtles occasionally floating from the board. I thought we would go to the sandbar at high tide, but the water was up to my chest, which was completely different from what I expected. In the end, snorkeling was included, but there wasn't a single fish, and with a group of 60 people splashing around, you couldn't even see underwater. I later heard that there are no fish in Hawaii in October. So why did they offer snorkeling? It was completely not worth the price. I'm very dissatisfied.
ウミガメウォッチと言ってもボードからウミガメが時々浮いているのを見るだけ。満潮の時にサンドバーに行くのかと思えば、胸のあたりまでで水があり、全く期待と違った。あげくにシュノーケリングが入っていたが
魚一匹おらず、60人もの団体でバシャバシャ泳ぐため海の中すら曇って見えない。後で聞いたら、10月ハワイは魚がいないとのこと。ではなぜシュノーケリングをさせたのか?全く料金に見合わない。とても不満。

The driver wearing a blue T-shirt that said "Captain Bob" was supposed to guide us in both English and Japanese, but in reality, it was a large man in a gray tank top who was very tanned and could hardly speak Japanese (・_・;). However, I was relieved that the guidance on the boat was provided entirely in Japanese by "Yuki-san."
When my son got stung by a jellyfish (?), he kindly helped with cooling treatment and explained how to handle it afterward. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious (⌒∇⌒).
During my first snorkeling experience, I was a bit flustered, but he kept asking from the boat, "Are you okay?" which reassured me (I might have looked like I was drowning, lol). I saw sea turtles several times, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with them. (However, it seemed like others on the opposite side were able to swim with them.)
The sandbar was beautiful, and if I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this place once more.
「’’Captain Bob’’と書かれた青いTシャツを着ているドライバーがツアー名を英語と日本語でご案内します。」と、案内には書かれてましたが、実際にはグレーのタンクトップを着た、めっちゃ日焼けをしてる日本語がほとんど話せない大きな男性でした(・_・;)
しかし、船での案内は「ユキさん」が終始日本語で安心しました。
息子がクラゲ(?)に刺されたときも、心配してくださってクーリングの処置と、その後の対処法を教えてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです(⌒∇⌒)

When I went to Hawaii, I definitely wanted to try snorkeling, so I joined this tour. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by not noticing the time change on the day of the tour, but I was relieved that it didn't affect the start of the tour. It was my first time participating in an overseas activity, and I was anxious, but it was a great help that Dan and Chieko communicated with me in Japanese. The weather was clear that day, and the sea was beautiful; I was able to see many fish underwater. I often had issues with seawater getting in while snorkeling before, but the snorkeling gear provided this time was so high-performance that no seawater came in at all, making it very easy to swim. I was also surprised to see cats and mongooses in Hanauma Bay, and I was able to capture them on camera, which made for a great memory. If I come to Hawaii again, I would like to try scuba diving as well.
ハワイに行ったら是非シュノーケルをやってみたいと思い、こちらのツアーに参加しました。

シュノーケルを行う際は海水が入ってきてしまうことが今までよくありましたが、今回提供してもらったシュノーケルは高性能?なのか海水が全く入ってこず大変泳ぎやすかったです。

Thank you for participating in the snorkeling tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I apologize for rushing you during the pickup.
When the weather is nice, the underwater visibility is bright, and I hope you enjoyed seeing many fish that day. The snorkels we use during the tour are called dry snorkels, designed to prevent seawater from entering through the top part that is above the water's surface, making them very easy to use. To ensure that everyone can experience snorkeling safely and comfortably, we always require the use of snorkeling jackets. This allows swimmers to conserve energy significantly, and most people are able to keep going until the end.
Hassy, please join us again on your next visit to Hawaii. We also offer introductory diving experiences at Hanauma Bay, so if you're interested, I highly recommend trying diving as well. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you. Mahalo!!

This was my second time snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I was once again amazed by the beauty of the ocean and how easily I could see fish and sea urchins. The guide was also very kind; when I asked if we could see turtles, he went out of his way to search for them at the edge. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but I had a great time seeing many fish and sea urchins. I tend to get seasick easily, but after taking some motion sickness medication, I was able to enjoy it without feeling sick. Since the tour ends in the morning, I could schedule other plans in the afternoon and make good use of my time.
The local volunteer staff and the guide expressed disappointment that some people were not following the rule of "not standing on the rocks." Additionally, there were people using shampoo and body soap, which should not be used as it flows directly into the ocean. Even when they were warned, it was too late as it had already flowed away... We really need to follow the rules for the sake of future generations.
ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルは2度目だったのですが、海のきれいさ、魚やウニを簡単に見れることに感動再びです。ガイドさんも親切で、亀は見れますか?と聞いたら、わざわざ端の方まで探しに行ってくださいました。亀は結局いませんでしたが、魚やウニ等たくさん見れてとても楽しかったです。海に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んだら酔うことなく楽しめました。午前中で終わるので、午後に別の予定も入れられて時間を有効に使えます。
現地のボランティアスタッフさんもガイドさんも「岩の上に立たない」というルールを守ってもらえない、と残念そうに話していました。あとシャンプー、ボディソープはそのまま海に流れていくので、使用してはいけないのに使っている方がいました。注意してももう流れてしまうので手遅れとのこと…。後世のためにルールは守らないといけないですね。

For my husband and me, who have pretty much visited all the typical tourist spots, the opportunity to be taken to the uncharted territory of West Oahu caught our attention, so we signed up for this tour.
West Oahu was quite different from the scenery we had seen in other areas of Oahu; it had a strong local flavor and was a very interesting place.
There were no crowds, and we didn't see any Japanese people at all (laughs).
Since there was no need to cross mountains like when going to the North Shore, the views were mostly of the ocean, and I think we could enjoy the drive back and forth without getting bored.
During snorkeling, we saw many beautifully colored fish like those in a guidebook, and we were able to swim alongside a sea turtle that appeared by chance, which was very moving...
The guide is also an underwater photographer, so I think even those who are snorkeling for the first time can feel at ease as they receive careful instruction. (It was also fun in a different way when he dove down to show us a sea urchin!!)
I visit Hawaii twice a year, and next time, I would love to request this guide's private tour to hear more fun stories!
☆ As mentioned in the notes, during snorkeling, you leave everything in the car, so I think it's best not to bring valuables. A little cash for lunch and a towel should be enough. ☆
I hope this is helpful!
典型的な観光地はだいたい行き尽くした私たち夫婦にとって、未踏の地である西オアフに連れて行ってもらえるというのが目にとまり、このツアーを申し込みました。
西オアフは、これまでオアフ島の他の地域で見た景色とは違って、かなりローカル色が強く、とても興味深い場所でした。
人がごった返していることもなく、日本人もまったく見かけません(笑)
ノースショアに行くときのように山を越えることもないので、景色も海が多く、飽きることなくドライブ感覚で行って帰って来られたと思います。
シュノーケリングでは、図鑑で見るような綺麗な色の魚をたくさん見れたり、偶然現れたウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができ、非常に感動的でした。。。
ガイドさんは水中カメラマンもしているので、シュノーケリングが初めての方も丁寧に教えてもらえるので安心できると思います。
(潜ってウニをとって見せてくれたり別の意味でも楽しかったです!!)
年に2回訪れるハワイ、次回は楽しいお話が聞ける、このガイドさんのプライベートツアーをお願いしたいくらいです!
☆注意事項に書かれているとおり、シュノーケリング中は車にすべてを置いて行くので、貴重品は持参しないほうがよいと思います。ランチを購入するための多少の現金とタオルがあれば十分かと☆
参考になれば嬉しいです。
Thank you for your review.
West Oahu really gives you a glimpse of what Hawaii must have been like in the past. Watching the locals, it feels like time starts to slow down...
Snorkeling and ocean activities are our specialty at Hawaii Real Nature Tours. I believe you'll get to see a different side of the ocean, so please come back if you have the chance.

西オアフは昔のハワイってこんなんだったんだろうなーという景色ですよね。ローカルを見ているとなんだが時間までゆっくり流れ始めそうな・・

I participated in October, and while the weather was good, the wind was strong! Because of that, the waves were high and the sea was a bit murky.
After snorkeling, my husband got seasick and couldn't eat much, which was unfortunate. Even for those who usually don't get seasick, it might be safer to take motion sickness medication just in case!
However, we did see turtles, and the sea was beautiful, so I was very satisfied! I want to try again when I come back to Hawaii!
10月の参加でしたが、天気はよかったのですが風が強い!
その為波が高く海が少し濁っていました。

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. It's usually calm in the inland sea, but there are days when the waves can be high. Please come back and visit us again. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへご参加ありがとうございました。
いつもは内海のため穏やかなんですが、時々波が高い日もあるようです。
またぜひ遊びに来て下さいね。マハロ!

Everything ran like clockwork. The pickup from the hotel was on time and everything was ready for us to go when we arrived. As a new Kayaker I found the instructions helpful and really enjoyed the Kayaking. It was not only good fun but has given me the confidence to do a lot more kayaking in the future. As a part of the tour we also did some snorkelling in between kayaking. While snorkelling I saw five turtles and just before going out to snorkel we also saw a sting ray. I had high expectations for this tour and it managed to exceed them!
I must say thank you to Kevin who was our guide who was willing to answer all out questions and guided us around expertly making us feel at home on the water.
The lunch provided was great after having spent so much energy. It really hit the spot!
Aloha,
Sorry my response is a bit late, but I wanted to take the time to respond to this wonderful review of your experience with us. Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you even more for sharing this awesome review. That really means a lot to us. And it means a lot to Kevin too. I speak for him when I say it was a pleasure to have you join us, and I hope to see you again next time. It sounds like the experience you had with us that day is exactly what we strive to give every guest who joins our tours. So it is very encouraging to hear that we hit the mark for you. Thank you again, and please come see us again next time!

We were greeted by a van and taken to the organizer-operated adventure center near Kailua Beach. We rented bicycles as an option and extended our trip to Lanikai Beach, which took about 15 minutes to reach. For lunch, we had a choice and enjoyed beef curry and pizza, which were surprisingly delicious. In the second half, we shopped in Kailua town, about a 10-minute bike ride away. We had four hours, so we were able to take our time. The facility was convenient, with lockers, changing rooms, showers, and restrooms. There were also two Japanese-speaking staff members, so we had no issues. Overall, it was a great tour of the Kailua area.
バンでお出迎え。カイルアビーチ近くの主催者経営のアドベンチャーセンターへ。私達はオプションで自転車を借り、ラニカイビーチまで足を延ばしました。15分程で着きます。ランチはチョイスが出来ビーフカレーとピザを頂きましたが、これが思ったより美味しかった。後半は自転車で10分程のカイルア市街地で買い物しました。時間は4時間ありますので、結構ゆっくり回れました。施設にはロッカー・更衣室・シャワー・トイレもあり便利でした。日本語スタッフも二人いて困る事はありませんでした。カイルア地区ツアーとしては良い内容でした。

The dolphin excursion was amazing. We learned so much about dolphins and enjoyed snorkeling with them. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They even have a photographer taking pictures. This is a must do activity and me and my children can't wait to go back and do it again.
Mahalo for your feedback and we appreciate you joining us. We look forward to your return. :) Lisa

We had an amazing time on this tour. The guides were so helpful and made sure my children learned to snorkel and stayed safe. They made sure we saw a lot of fish and we even saw a sea turtle.
Hi Cory, glad you guys enjoyed and glad we got to see the turtle. Come again. Dan and Chieko.

The tour staff were all friendly, and the coordinator was an exceptionally cheerful and experienced Japanese woman. Her talks were entertaining, approachable, and cute. On the way to the snorkeling point, we saw a lot of manta rays and swimming sea turtles, and thanks to her engaging commentary, the time on the boat was not just a transfer but a really enjoyable experience. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, I was able to swim quickly enough to go for another round, and during the second round, I spotted a sea turtle and was able to swim alongside it, which was truly moving! I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time, but the snacks and hot tea after getting out of the water were perfectly seasoned and at just the right temperature, making them very delicious. I really felt that choosing this tour was a great decision! I highly, highly, highly recommend it!
ツアーのスタッフはみんな気さくで、仕切りのお姉さんはとびきり明るい日本人のベテランさん。トークは面白いし、親しみやすくて可愛い。シュノーケリングポイントに向かっている時、マンタの群れや泳いでいるウミガメをたくさん見かけたし、お姉さんのトークのおかげで、船上が単なる移動ではなくとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ポイントに着いてシュノーケリングする時も、私は泳ぐのが早かったのでもう1周行かせて貰えたし、2周目の時にウミガメを見付けて一緒に泳ぐことが出来たので感動しました‼︎もっと長い時間シュノーケリングしたかったけど、海から上がった後のスナックとホットティーも塩加減やぬるめの温度が絶妙で、とても美味しかったです。今回はこのツアーにして本当に良かったと思いました!超超超オススメです!

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Of course, the sandbar at low tide is wonderful, but the sandbar when it becomes shallow is truly perfect for photography! I'm really glad to hear that Marrissa was able to take beautiful photos. Since this is an outdoor tour, we recommend wearing a long-sleeved jacket throughout the year when you participate. Thank you, everyone!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
もちろん完全に潮が引いた時のサンドバーも素敵ですが、浅瀬になった時のサンドバーは写真撮影には本当にうってつけ!!なんですよ。
Marrissa様も綺麗な写真が撮れたとのことで本当に良かったです。
屋外でのツアーですので、年間を通じてご参加の際は長袖の上着をお勧めしてます。皆様宜しくお願いします。
