Oahu
Not the best experience, very rushed,choppy water, cloudy because of all the sand in the waterI didn't see anything underwater snorkeling ,saw a few turtles swimming on top of water.as far as the drinks part.. you got about 15 mins to chug your 3 free drinks on the way back because you can't drink and snorkel? Probably a bad combo to sell .Probably won't do this one again Crew was well informed and nice but could put more effort in the experience.
Don't sell a booze snorkel cruise,when it's a bad combo
I kept jumping back and forth with scuba diving vs snorkeling. I’m glad I chose snorkeling! our instructor was Rida, he made the experience great with his cheesey jokes and his knowledge of the sea life. He was also very kind and understanding to those who were very afraid of deep water and using the snorkel for the first time.
I received a short message the day before the activity, and the pickup location was easy to understand. They arrived on time, which was reassuring. The driver was very polite, and the entry process was smooth. The kids really enjoyed snorkeling in the beautiful sea, and the three hours went by in no time.
アクティビティ前日にショートメールが届いて、迎えのピックアップ場所分かりやすく、時間通りに来てくれて、安心しました。ドライバーさんもとても丁寧で、入場までもスムーズでした。素晴らしい海でシュノーケルを子供たちもとても楽しめて、あっという間の3時間でした。
I reserved rental wear in advance, but the swimsuit was unnecessary. The sea in early April was a bit cold.
レンタルウェアを事前に予約しましたが、水着があれぼ不要でした。時期的に4月の早朝の海は少し寒かったです。
You can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and snorkeling at the sandy beach in the shallow waters offshore. The strong winds made SUP quite challenging, but I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It's no problem even for those who are new to snorkeling. There are staff members who speak Japanese, which was reassuring. The scenery and the ocean are beautiful, offering a different kind of experience compared to other beaches.
沖にある浅瀬の砂浜でSUPやシュノーケリングを楽しむことができます。風が強かったのでSUPは難易度が高かったですが、シュノーケリングではウミガメを見ることができました。シュノーケリング初めての方でも問題なしです。日本語の話せるスタッフの方がいらっしゃるので安心でした。景色も海も綺麗で、他のビーチとは違った楽しみ方ができます。
Snorkeling requires quite a bit of physical stamina, so those who are not good swimmers can rest on the boat. I cut my leg on the coral reef, but the staff quickly disinfected it for me.
シュノーケリングはかなり体力を使うので、泳ぎが苦手な人は船で休んでおくこともできます。
サンゴ礁で脚を切ってしまいましたが、スタッフの方がすぐに消毒してくれました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

This was an amazing ride. All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and bent over backwards to ensure everyone had a great time. The trip was perfect. You got sandbar time, turtle time and snorkeling.
Sunscreen and money for drinks.
What a great way to spend an afternoon! The company offers plenty of activities for you to stay active if you want out on the sandbar, or you can just chill out and lounge in the sandbar living room. The lunch was awesome! The staff was very friendly and professional. The 2 man band had amazing talent! I truly enjoyed the experience. It was very relaxing and fun. Thank you for the memories and joy!
Aloha Smita,
Thank you for the 5 stars review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed our sandbar tour. We hope to see you again soon!

To enter Hanauma Bay as soon as it opened, the morning pickup was a bit earlier. I was lucky to catch the sunrise at a nearby coastline while adjusting my schedule before entering!
This was my third visit to Hanauma Bay. The weather was perfect, but the ocean at 7 AM was still quite cold as the water temperature hadn't warmed up yet. Still, the view was absolutely stunning! I was very satisfied to see so many fish.
ハナウマの開園と同時に入場する為、朝のピックアップは少し早めでした。
入場前に時間調整で近くの海岸線で日の出も見れてラッキー!
ハナウマ湾に来るのは3回目
お天気は最高でしたが、やはり朝7時の海は、みだ水温が上がらず冷たかったです(^^;
それでも、やはり絶景!魚達も沢山見れて大満足でした。
In the morning, Hanauma Bay tends to have lower temperatures and water temperatures, so it might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved cover-up.
午前中のハナウマ湾は気温、水温ともに低めなので、長袖の羽織るものはあった方が良いかも。
The sea was beautiful, the guide was kind, and there were light snacks, making it a great tour. I was satisfied to see sea turtles while snorkeling.
海もきれいでガイドさんも優しく、軽食もあり大変良いツアーでした
シュノーケリングでウミガメも見ることができて満足です
I participated in late April, and it was really cold. The sea is chilly. For those who get cold easily, I think it's good to have a thicker rash guard and a long-sleeve shirt to wear after swimming. T
4月下旬の参加でしたが、とにかく寒い
海が冷たいです
寒がりの方は厚めのラッシュガード、海水浴後に着られる長袖があると良いと思います
船に温かい飲み物があるので飲み物は持参しなくて大丈夫です

I’m so happy I booked this excursion. The staff were super friendly and interactive with everyone. The music was great! And the location was just breathtaking. The water was warm, crystal clear and safe to swim and do other activities.
This excursion was so worth it!!!

We did everything they offered, tube ride, banana boat turtle watching, snorkeling, SUP boarding, kayaking, throwing the football. We loved this and will definitely do it on our next trip. They even have a big floating living room. And the snorkeling was really good- saw all kinds of fish. Loved this trip.
Aloha Amanda,
Thank you for your 5-star rating. We are happy that you enjoyed our tour very much.

The sandbar itself is a must-go! Staff with KBSO were so friendly and professional, and the tour was well organized. We really enjoyed the snorkeling and water play in the clear shallow water 😊
Aloha Amy,
Thank you for your 5-star rating. We are happy that you enjoyed our tour very much.

We participated as a couple. It was amazing to be able to stand in the middle of the ocean, just a short distance from the port to the sandbar. The afternoon snorkeling was wonderful as we could enjoy the corals and many fish. The guides and staff who spoke Japanese were cheerful and made the experience enjoyable.
夫婦で参加させていただきました。サンドバーまで港からすぐで海の真ん中に立ってられるのが不思議でした。午後のシュノーケルでもサンゴやたくさんの魚を観賞できて素晴らしかったです。日本語でのガイドさんやスタッフの方々も明るく楽しめました。
After getting out of the bus or water, it gets cold, so be sure not to forget to bring something to wear or a large towel.
バスや水から上がった後は冷えるので必ず羽織るものや大きめのタオルを忘れないように。
All the years I've been coming to Oahu, I've never done anything like this excursion! Best money spent on a family outing. It was majestic! The live music was beautiful, the lunch was outstanding! The crew and captain were so friendly and really made you feel included and very welcome, like a trip out with old friends. I cannot say enough about how special and memorable this trip was. Core memories built! Thanks you so so much Kbos! Special shout out to Braddah From our hometown of Vallejo Ca.! Do yourself a favor and just go!
Go early, get some food from the little store at the Harbor it's ono, drink lots of water!
Aloha Akawaiilani81,

I was very excited because I couldn't imagine what the place would be like when heading there by boat. Once we arrived, I was able to fully enjoy SAP and snorkeling. I even got to see baby sea turtles.
船で向かう時には、どんな場所かイメージできていなかったのでとてもワクワクしました。
着いてからはSAPやシュノーケリングを存分に楽しむことができました。海亀の子供も見ることができました
It's a good idea to bring your phone, even if you have to put it in a Ziploc bag, as it looks great in photos.
写真映えするので、ジップロックなどに入れてでも携帯を持っていくと良い
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the Heavenly Ocean, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

The boat ride to the sand bar was amazing , you get to view the beautiful bay of Kaneohe . The staff was amazing , they knew exactly how to welcome first timers , the food was so delicious, I’m not a hamburger dude but this hamburger was so delicious, it was served with my favorite pork and beans , great meal to hold you off through the tour .
Trip could be longer m don’t think anybody will complain
I was anxious about everything being in English, but the return time and meeting place were clear, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. I was lucky to see seals swimming in the bay as well.
オール英語で不安でしたが、帰りの時間と集合場所が明確で安心して楽しめました。アザラシも湾内に泳いできてラッキーでした。
The wind was strong, and in April, it felt a bit chilly at the beach. A long-sleeve hoodie is helpful to have.
風も強めで、4月はビーチで肌寒く感じました。長袖パーカーがあると役に立ちます。
I found that the water wasn't as clear as I had hoped. The sandy beach wasn't as beautiful as I expected either. I want to visit the sandbar I went to two years ago again!
泳いでみて思ったほど透明度は良くなかった。砂浜も思ったほど綺麗ではなかった。一昨年行ったサンドバーにもう一度行ってみたいです!
You might want to lower your expectations for Honu.
ホヌは期待しない方が良いのでは⁈
The water on the west side is super clear, we really enjoyed this snorkel tour away from Waikiki!
Thank you very much for joining Dolphins and You tour and your kind words!
We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the crystal-clear waters on the west side — it really is a special spot away from the crowds of Waikiki.
Hope to see you again on your next Hawaii adventure! 🌺
Mahalo!
Minnesota family. We do not like the food but good customer service
Good
I participated with my daughter. The staff members were very kind, and we were able to enjoy the experience comfortably. I especially want to thank Minako. We were able to see many dolphins, which created wonderful memories. Captain Shanti was also fantastic.
娘と2人で参加しました。スタッフの方々がとても親切で気持ちよく参加できました。特にミナコさんに感謝です。念願のイルカもたくさん見られていい思い出が出来ました。キャプテンのシャンティさんも素敵でした。
Aloha! Thank you, Pochi, for participating with your family at Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five-star rating. It sounds like you encountered many dolphins! Meeting dolphins in the great nature of West Oahu is truly the best, isn't it? I hope it became an unforgettable page in your trip to Hawaii with your daughter. Thank you for your comments about Minako and Shanti as well! Please come back to visit us again when you're in Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! ポチ様。イルカ大学にご家族で参加していただき、ありがとうございます。また五つ星評価にも感謝いたします。たくさんのイルカに出会えたのですね! 西オアフの大自然のなかでのイルカとの出会いは最高ですよね。娘さまとのハワイ旅行での忘れられない1ページになったら幸いです。ミナコやシャンティに関するコメントもありがとうございます!!ぜひ、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはまた遊びに来てくださいね。またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
I participated on December 28. I really wanted to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, and I heard that local tours are smooth and good because currently, access is strictly limited for environmental protection. It was indeed strict to enter the bay, and there was a long line of cars waiting. The guide seemed to be familiar with the local staff, which made things very smooth for us. All participants borrowed wetsuits. Since there are quite a few rocky areas, I thought it would be dangerous to just wear swimsuits. Please be careful. The guide, who was a couple, provided us with solid instruction on the basic techniques. Even I, who had a fear of water, quickly got used to it and enjoyed myself.
12月28日に参加しました。ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングを是非したかったのと、現在、環境保護のために、人の出入りが厳しく制限されているということで、現地ツアーがスムーズで良いと聞いたからです。本当に湾に入るのは厳しく、順番待ちの車がズラーッと並んでいました。ガイドさんは現地の係員さんと顔馴染みのようで、こちらはとてもスムーズだったように思います。ウエットスーツは参加者全員借りていました。割と岩場があるので、水着だけでは怪我してしまうと思いました。お気をつけください。ガイドさんはご夫婦で私達を案内してくれて、基本的テクニックをしっかり教えてもらえました。水に恐怖感があった私も、すぐ慣れて楽しめました。
It's definitely better to rent a wetsuit.
ウエットスーツは必ず借りたほうが良いです。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Snorkeling can feel the most challenging during the first time, but you'll get better as you get used to it. I believe you'll find it much easier on your second try, so please consider joining us again when you come back to Hawaii. We'll be waiting for you anytime. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにご参加いただき、ありがとうございました。ツアーを楽しんでいただけて、本当に良かったです。シュノーケリングは1回目が一番難しく感じますが、慣れればだんだんと上手になります。2回目はもっと楽にできると思いますので、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。いつでもお待ちしております。Mahalo!!
I was scheduled to participate in Dolphin Middle School, but it was suddenly canceled due to high waves. I transferred to Turtle University. From the boat, I could see Diamond Head and the city of Honolulu very well. I also got to meet a lot of turtles!
イルカ中学参加予定でしたが、波が高く急遽中止に。カメ大学に編入しました。ボートからはダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの街がよく見えました。カメさんにも沢山会えました!
If you are prone to seasickness, it's better to have some motion sickness medication!
船酔いしやすい方は酔い止めがあったほうがいいです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for accepting the sudden transfer to Waikiki Turtle University due to the cancellation of Dolphin Middle School. I also appreciate the sharing of the wonderful photos. The view of Diamond Head and the streets of Honolulu from the ocean is truly beautiful! I'm glad to hear that you were able to encounter many sea turtles in such a special place. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the motion sickness medication. Please do join our tours again when you visit Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to your next participation. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! DDloverさま。イルカ中学のキャンセルにより、急なワイキキカメ大学への編入を受け入れてくださり、誠にありがとうございました。素敵な写真の共有にも感謝です。海の上から見るダイヤモンドヘッドやホノルルの街並みはとても綺麗ですよね!! そんな特別な場所で沢山のウミガメに出会うことができた、とお聞きし嬉しく思います。また、酔い止めに関するコメントにも感謝いたします。ぜひ、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはまた弊社のツアーに入学してくださいね。またのご参加を心よりお待ちしております。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
The girls were wonderful. They were kind and helpful. We not only swam with amazing dolphins but snorkeled in a wonderful coral reef with sea turtles. I would highly recommend this tout
The guides were amazing, we say dolphins on our way to the snorkeling. Snorkles with turtles and so many fish and on the way back saw humpback whales.
The most incredible experience and best snorkeling I have done
The Angel's Sea was amazing. The scenery was beautiful, and the water was so clear that I could see fish swimming with the naked eye. I saw many turtles on the way to the sandbar, and during snorkeling, I encountered a turtle that came out from the rocks and was able to swim close to it, which was truly moving! The lunch with hamburgers grilled on the boat was incredibly delicious, and the kids were thrilled. The staff was friendly, and I had such a great time that I definitely want to go again!
天使の海は最高でした
景色はもちろん、海の透明度も高くて裸眼でお魚が泳いでる姿が見れるくらい綺麗でした。
亀はサンドバーに向かう時に沢山見れて、シュノーケリングの時も岩場から出てきた亀に遭遇し近くを一緒に泳ぐことが出来て感動しました♪
船上で焼いてくれたハンバーグを挟んで食べるランチは最高に美味しくて子ども達も大喜びでした。
スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとても楽しくまた是非行きたいと思いました!!
I saw reviews saying that the hamburger with grilled hamburger steak on the ship is the best, so I opted for the lunch option, and it truly was the best!
船上で焼くハンバーグを挟んで食べるハンバーガーが最高との口コミを見てランチ付きにしましたが、本当に最高でした!
Dan from Blue Hawaii Divers was absolutely 💯 amazing. Very knowledgeable, thorough and caring. Great husband and wife duo. 5 star
Thanks guys, you did awesome. Hope we see you again.
Dan was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and we saw so many fish.
Thanks Tiffany, hope we see you guys again.
If you are staying in Waikiki. I highly recommend these guys. They were fantastic. We saw many turtles and fish. An absolute high light of our trip here in Hawaii. Thanks to the crew!
Book! Just book!
The weather wasn't very good, but I was really happy to see many sea turtles. The staff were also very kind. I would like to participate again next time.
天気はあまり良くなかったですが、ウミガメをたくさん見れてとても良かったです。
スタッフの方もとても親切でした。
また次回参加したいと思いました。
