Oahu
Amazing. Crew were outstanding, music onboard was fantastic. Sand bar was absolutely beautiful.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
I enjoyed having options to kayak, snorkel, and use SUP. The best part was riding the banana boat, it was so fun. I loved the staff and musicians and the fact that they were so welcoming. Only thing I wish they had was an underwater camera to rent and buy pictures like other snorkeling tours in Maui. Other than that, my family and I would definitely use this tour again
Mahalo for your review and picture! - Team KBOS
It was an activity that included everything you can do in Hawaii. Snorkeling from the boat was a great experience. The dinner was all-you-can-eat and drink, and it was a good value!
HAWAIIにいるからできることがすべて入ったアクティビティでした。船からのシュノーケリングは良い体験です。夕食も飲み食べ放題、コスバ良し!
The sandbar tour with lunch was fantastic. There was good music, a satisfying lunch before a swim, and nice and clean facilities for changing. The staff were all friendly and always had our safety as a top priority while ensuring we were having fun. I will be referring this tour to everyone I know! Thank you for making this a highlight of our dream vacation! Mahalo!
Mahalo Vince for your kind words! - Team KBOS
The meeting place was easy to find, and traveling by car was comfortable. (Since it was quite a long ride and there were some rough roads, those who are prone to motion sickness might want to have some medication on hand.)
There were about 50 to 60 people on the boat, which was more than I expected. The MC created a lively atmosphere, making it a fun experience. The meal consisted of water, juice, and donuts, which were quite simple, and it was a self-service style. Some participants from other countries brought alcohol and snacks, and there didn't seem to be any restrictions on that, so if you want to enjoy your meal, it might be better to prepare something in advance.
As for the sandbar, it was initially cold due to the weather, and it didn't look very beautiful at first, but I thought it would be a shame not to try canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding, which turned out to be enjoyable. It seems that we were able to observe large fish while snorkeling!
At the end, the sun came out, and I was able to see the scenery I had imagined, which was great. It might just have been the day I experienced, but I thought that perhaps the temperature rises more in the afternoon than in the early morning.
Overall, the staff were friendly and fun, and I had a wonderful experience.
集合場所は分かりやすく車での移動も快適でした。
(かなり長い間乗るのと、険しい道もあったので車酔いをいやすい方は酔い止めがあったほうがいいかもしれません)
船には50人〜60人くらいはいたでしょうか、想像よりも多くの人が乗っていてMCの方の盛り上げもありわいわいとした雰囲気で楽しかったです。
食事は水、ジュース、ドーナツという割と簡素なもので自分で取りに行くスタイルでした。他の国の参加者の方でお酒や軽食を持参している方がおり、特に禁止されている様子もなかったので、食事を楽しみたい方は自分で事前に用意したほうがいいかもしれません。
肝心のサンドバーははじめは天気の関係で寒くそこまで綺麗に見えなかったのですが、
せっかくだと思いカヌーやSUPに乗ってみることができて楽しかったです。シュノーケリングでは大きい魚を観察できたようです!
終わりぎわのタイミングで日がでてきて想像していた景色を見ることができたのでよかったです。体験した日だけなのかもしれませんがもしかしたら朝イチよりお昼からの方が気温も上がっていいのかも?と思いました。
総じてスタッフの方も親切で楽しく、とてもいい経験ができました。
Thank you for participating in the tour and for sharing your photos. We look forward to your next visit.
From all the KBOS staff.
この度はツアーへのご参加、お写真のシェアして頂きありがとうございました。またのご参加お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同
You take an early morning bus to the port, and from there, it takes about 20 minutes by boat to reach the sandbar. Everyone involved was kind and friendly, and I enjoyed the experience from start to finish. There were also people who were fluent in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. If I come back again, I would definitely like to participate once more.
港まで早朝のバスに乗って行き、そこから20分程度船に揺られてサンドバーに到着します。関係の方々どの人も優しくフレンドリーで、終始楽しめました。日本語の堪能な方もおり安心して利用できました。もしまた来られたら次も参加したいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We appreciate your feedback.
We are grateful for your kind words that you enjoyed the tour from start to finish without any worries. We strive daily to provide a service that makes our customers want to participate again, so your message is truly appreciated.

ツアーの始めから最後まで安心してお楽しみいただけたとのお言葉、ありがとうございます。
お客様が、「また参加したい」と思っていただけるサービスを目標に日々努めておりますため、頂きましたメッセージに心からありがたく存じます。
どうぞまたカネオヘサンドバーへお越しください。スタッフ一同お待ちしております。A hui hou
Let me start by saying this is a must do when visiting o’ahu. The views from the sandbar are incredible. I’m 4’10” and I think the water at the sandbar come up to my waistline. It took us about 40 minutes to paddle out to it because I’m not the most athletic. Lol
The kayak tour did include a life jacket. We rented a dry bag and an anchor for $5. And anchor is a must if you want to hang out at the sandbar or snorkel at one of the reefs.
Speaking of reefs, what an experience! I saw plenty of beautiful fish and turtles. “Park” your kayak on the sandy area and do not step on the coral. They are very sensitive. If you park up by the corals, you’ll see plenty of fish and turtles popping in and out.
The staff was friendly and informative. They gave us the best route to be able to go to the sandbar and the reefs. We followed instructions and did exactly as we were told as everyone should.
You’ll have a great time if you follow the rules and respect the ocean and its animals!
Aloha! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this awesome review and feedback! We really appreciate that. First of all I am so happy to hear that our staff treated you well and gave you good info that hopefully contributed to your having a great time. I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the feedback about listening to and following our staff's instructions. Thank you so much for that! I also cannot stress enough how much we appreciate your feedback regarding only being in the sand and never stepping on coral. This is such important info for everybody to be aware of, so I really hope everybody takes the time to read your review specifically. It is really, really good. Stoked to hear that it sounds like you had a great overall experience and that you consider this a 'must do' on O'ahu. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
I made a reservation in Japan before departure without checking the tide table, but luckily, the water was shallow up to my knees, which was great. I wore my reef shoes from the room, and I stayed in them both on the boat and in the water. Additionally, due to my nearsightedness, I borrowed a prescription mask. Whether I could swim or use the snorkel was a different matter. I didn’t know how to hold the snorkel properly, and water kept coming in through the gaps, so I held onto a staff member's float who spoke Japanese, and we moved along together. I got used to it halfway through and was able to look underwater for longer periods. Every time we spotted a sea turtle, the staff member would say, "There’s a turtle," and I was able to see them about 7 or 8 times. Encountering many schools of fish and sea turtles was an emotional experience. My first time snorkeling, meeting sea turtles, and visiting the sandbar was a fun experience that I can't have in Japan. The spam was also very delicious. Thank you very much.
潮見表を調べず、出発前に日本で予約しましたが、運良く、膝くらいで浅く良かったです。リーフシューズを部屋から履いて行き、船内も水中もこのままでした。また、近視のため、度付きのマスクを借りました。泳げるかどうかと、シュノーケルが使えるかどうかは別です。私はシュノーケルの咥え方がわからず、隙間から海水が入るので、日本語を話せるスタッフさんの浮き輪に捕まり、一緒に進みました。途中から慣れて長く水中を覗くことができるようになりました。ウミガメが見える度に、スタッフさんが、「カメさんいるよ」と教えて下さり、7〜8回くらい見ることができました。多くの魚の群れ、ウミガメに出会い、感動の連続。初めてのシュノーケリング、ウミガメとの出会い、サンドバー、日本ではできない楽しい体験でした。スパムもとてもおいしかったです。ありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It seems you struggled a bit with snorkeling at first, but it looks like you were able to breathe smoothly after a while, which is impressive. Please come back to explore this mystical paradise ocean again. We sincerely look forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ! キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。
シュノーケル初挑戦で最初は苦戦されたようですが、途中からはスムーズに息継ぎも出来るようになられたみたいで一気に取得されて凄いです。
ぜひまたこの神秘的な天国の海を覗きに遊びにいらして下さい。その日を心よりお待ちしております。マハロ!
Unbeatable scene of mountains, water and sands.
Perfect snorkeling location.
All types of playing programs for free to choose.
Super nice staff.
Kids-friendly.
Mahalo for the review -Team KBOS
Sorry in advance. Not much of a writer here but we really wanted to share our experience.
Pros:
- The whole team were amazing! They screamed aloha spirit. My personal favorite was the blonde gentleman who spoke Japanese and Korean.
- live band was a hit! Both singers were amazing!
- food was basic but good. It was nicely plated as well which I was NOT expecting. Center piece was a nice touch.
- Really good bang for your buck with all the activities.
Con:
Not really reflective of the crew but the sandbar was not as shallow as I expected. Obviously it depends on the ocean and tides etc.
Mahalo for sharing your experience! - Team KBOS
For this second attempt, I checked the tide chart for the sandbar in Kaneohe and chose the day and time when the tide would be the lowest during my stay to participate in the tour. It was perfect. When we arrived and moored the boat, the water was about calf-deep, and even after the first snorkeling session, which lasted 20 minutes, we returned to find a sandbar with broken coral exposed about 50 meters away. It was practically land (see photo). The quality of the sandbar experience depends on the tour company, but ultimately, the tide conditions are everything. I believe those planning to go should choose tours that operate during low tide, referring to the tide chart as much as possible. However, when walking to the sandbar, beach shoes are essential. The soles of your feet can hurt, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured. Captain Bruce already has established know-how, and there was a Japanese guide on board, making it a comfortable experience for Japanese participants. The spam musubi we had on the boat was very delicious. During snorkeling, we even encountered a honu (sea turtle) (see photo).
One downside is that the information provided in advance by Veltra mentioned that tips of 10% to 20% are not included in the travel cost and advised not to bring valuables. I only brought a single bill for tips, but there were signs on the shuttle bus asking for tips, and there was also a request for tips when we got off the boat after the activity. I found myself in a situation where I hadn't heard about tipping at two different places! I only had one bill! I wish they would stop the tipping practice, which is unfamiliar to Japanese people, and include it in the total cost. It's quite bothersome.
再挑戦の今回は、サンドバーのあるカネオヘの潮見表を調べ、滞在中のツアー催行時間で一番潮の引く日と時間を選んで参加しました。ドンピシャでした。到着時にボートを係留したところで、ふくらはぎ中くらいの深さ、最初に行われるシュノーケリングが20分して終わって帰って来ても、歩いて50mほどのところにある珊瑚が砕けた砂州?が露出していました。まさに陸地でした。(写真参照)。サンドバー観光の質は催行会社もありますが、やはり潮の状態が全てです。行かれる方は、潮見表首っ引きで出来るだけ潮の引いている時に催行されるツアーを選ぶべきだと思います。ただし、砂州?に歩いて行く時はビーチシューズは必須です。足の裏が痛いですし、運が悪ければ怪我をすることがあります。キャプテンブルースはすでにノウハウが確立しており、日本人ガイドも乗っていて、日本人が安心して参加できます。ボート上でいただいたスパムむすびがとても美味しかったです。シュノーケリングでは海中でホヌにも出会えました。(写真参照) 。難点を言えば、事前にベルトラからされた案内に10%〜20%のチップは旅行代金に含まれていませんとあり、貴重品は持ってくるなとありましたので、チップだけお札1枚で持って行きましたが、送迎のバスでも、チップくださいとの掲示がありましたし、活動が終わりボートを降りる時にも、チップくださいの案内がありました。2箇所でチップとは聞いていないよ!お札1枚しかないよ!ということになりました。日本人には馴染みのないチップやめて欲しい。代金に含めておいて欲しいです。面倒くさいですから。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating again in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We sincerely appreciate you sharing your detailed feedback about the tour.
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sandbar in the conditions you hoped for! While we cannot control the tide as it is a natural phenomenon, our experienced staff is always ready to suggest the best ways to enjoy the tour based on the tide and weather conditions, so please feel free to join us anytime with confidence.
I apologize for the lack of explanation regarding tips, and for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will share your feedback internally and use it to improve our services further.
We look forward to welcoming you again on your next visit. Mahalo!

ご希望通りのコンディションでサンドバーをお楽しみ頂けたようでとても嬉しく思います!潮位に関しましては自然のものですのでコントロールはできないのですが、経験豊富なスタッフが潮位や天候に応じてベストな楽しみ方を提案致しておりますので、いつでもご安心してご参加いただければと思います。
チップに関しまして、説明が不足しておりご不便をおかけしてしまって申し訳ございませんでした。いただいたご意見は社内で共有させていただき、更なるサービス向上に向けて役立てていく所存です。
またの機会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。マハロ!
We spent a great afternoon at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar. It was a great ride in out with live music from the best crew!
Mahalo for the review -Team KBOS
Incredible staff that made us feel welcomed and safe. I like the options to participate or just soak in the beautiful scenery going snorkeling or on the sandbar. Food was great also!
I participated in the morning session of a family trip (with elementary and middle school students). It was almost high tide, but at about 1 meter, it was safe for elementary school students to play.
What stood out the most was the cheerful and fun attitude of both the shuttle driver and the guide on the boat. They were quite fluent in Japanese (or rather, most of them were Japanese), so I highly recommend this tour compared to others.
Here are some points summarized by category for your reference!
【Shuttle】The outbound trip took about 45 minutes, and the return trip took about 60 minutes. We were picked up around 9:00 at the bus stop near Trump, making it easy to participate. The same driver took us both ways, and during the return trip, he engaged us with comments about our experiences. (He also provided cheerful guidance in English and broken Japanese along the way.) There was a service for those who wanted to stop at a famous malasada shop (Leonard's) on the way back.
【Boat Transfer】It takes about 10 minutes to arrive, and the waves are calm, so there’s hardly any worry about seasickness. We spotted several sea turtles on the way out (although we could see them multiple times at the sandbar).
【Snorkeling】Everyone wears life jackets and sanitized snorkels, and there were also zayaks (a type of board with a viewing window?) available for children. For adults who cannot swim, one of the guides provides support nearby. There were many fish, but everyone was particularly excited about the sea turtles.
【Activities】After snorkeling, you can enjoy SUP, zayaks, floaties, and photo opportunities at the sandbar. There was about one SUP per group, so everyone had fun (taking turns as a family).
【On the Boat】The boat has a restroom and is quite clean. The minimal rocking of the boat also left a good impression.
【Food and Drink】There are unlimited servings of spam musubi, apples, snacks, nut bars, and juices (only one spam musubi per person). So, you can go without bringing anything.
【Caution】Jellyfish (Portuguese man o' war) were present, and a few people got stung (though everyone had minor injuries). I think long-sleeved rash guards are essential.
家族旅行(小学生+中学生)で午前の部に参加しました。
ほぼ満潮のタイミングでしたが、1m程度なので小学生でも安全に遊べました。
何より素晴らしいのは送迎の運転手、船上のガイドとも明るく楽しい気持ちになりました。日本語もかなり通じやすい(というかほぼ日本人の方も)ので、他のツアーに比べて非常にオススメできます。
以下に観点別のポイントをまとめたのでご参考までに!
【送迎】往路は45分ほど、帰路は60分ほどでの到着でした。トランプ近くのバス停に9:00頃ピックアップだったので無理なく参加できました。また行と帰りは同じ運転手で帰宅時には感想などの声掛けもしてくれます。(道中、英語と片言の日本語で陽気にガイドもしてくれます)。
希望者はマラサダの有名店(レナーズ)に帰路で下車するサービスもありました。
【船移動】10分程度で着く上に波も穏やかなので船酔いの心配は殆どありません。往路ではウミガメを何匹か見つけました(サンドバーで何度も見れますが)
【シュノーケル】全員がライフジャケット、シュノーケル(消毒済み)着用しますが、小児はzayak(除き窓付のビート版?)の貸し出しもありました。大人で泳げない人はガイドの1名が近くでサポートもしてくれます。魚も多いですがやはりウミガメは皆さんテンションがあがっていました。
【アクティビティ】シュノーケル後はサンドバーでSUPやZAYAK、浮き輪、写真撮影などを楽しめます。SUPも1組1台程度はあるので皆さん楽しめてました(家族で交代しながら)
【船上】トイレ付で船自体も結構キレイです。揺れが少ない点も好印象。
【飲食】スパムにぎり、りんご、スナック菓子、ナッツバー、ジュース類が食べ放題です(スパム握りだけ1人1つ)。よって手ぶらで問題なし。
【注意点】くらげ(カツオノエボシ)が流れてくるので、刺されている人が数人いました。(ただし皆さん軽傷)長袖のラッシュガードなどは必須と思います。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you found the tour details easy to understand and appreciated the information shared at each point. Thank you for sharing the precautions as well.
Please be aware that due to ocean activities, jellyfish may appear on certain days. If you happen to get stung, please do not hesitate to inform the ocean staff. We will provide immediate first aid, so please rest assured.
Since you joined this tour as a family trip, we hope that this paradise ocean becomes a cherished page in your children's growth record. We look forward to welcoming the Hosop family back next time, along with the sea turtles. Mahalo!

次回のhosopファミリー様のご参加をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!
The sea was cold enough that a wetsuit was necessary! However, the captain was a funny person and it was enjoyable. Next time, I want to go into the sea on a warm day.
海は寒くてウェットスーツが必要な位でした!しかし!キャプテンが面白い人で楽しかったです。こんどは暖かい日に海にはいりたいです。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the conversation with the captain. Although it was a bit chilly, we hope you will have an even more enjoyable experience next time. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back, Mofuzo.

少し肌寒かったとのことですが、次回は今回以上に楽しんで頂けますように。
Mofuzo様のお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ちしております。
Had the most amazing time! The staff are absolutely wonderful!!!
Mahalo for the review! -Team KBOS
We loved the experience. Such soulful music on the boat followed by snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking. And then chilling on the floating couch. Loved it all.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.
During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.
参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。
ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。
Snorkeling was amazing! A honu was right in front of me! It was an early morning, but I’m glad I was able to make the most of the day.
シュノーケリングは最高でした!
ホヌが目の前に!
朝は早かったけど一日が有効に過ごせて良かったと思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. You encountered a wonderful moment with the honu right in front of you! Please come back to Paradise Ocean again. We will be waiting for you along with the honu. Mahalo!
アロハ! この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして誠にありがとうございました。
シュノーケルでホヌが目の間に!! ナッツ様は本当に素敵な瞬間に遭遇されたんですね。
ぜひまた天国の海に遊びにいらして下さい。その日をホヌとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!
The sea at Hanauma Bay was very beautiful and truly wonderful. Although it was disappointing that the sea turtles didn't come by that day since they are living creatures, I had a great time snorkeling while watching the fish.
The guide was kind and fun, which made me feel comfortable participating. Thank you very much.
ハナウマ湾の海がとてもキレイで、とても素晴らしかったです。
ウミガメは生き物なので、この日はやってきてはくれず、見られなくて残念でしたが、お魚たちを見ながらシュノーケリングできて、とーっても楽しかったです。
ガイドさんも優しく楽しい方だったので、安心して参加することができました。
ありがとうございました。
This is just what I needed. I'm not a great swimmer nor very confident in open water, and this was an excellent way to learn to snorkel. I HIGHLY recommend it! Our guide was Ashton. He was awesome! And the pictures were cool.
When my family and I first got to the dock we were greeted by the friendly boat crew. They were very personable and caring. On the adventure, we made our way to the sandbar and were able to snorkel, paddleboard, canoe, and relax on the water deck. The sandbar was perfect to stand on and was not deep. The reef was beautiful to look at while snorkeling. My family and I paid extra for the intertube and banana boat, this experience was AWESOME!! You were asked what speed you would like the ride. We wore life jackets and we felt very safe even though this was an extreme water activity. The live music was wonderful, while the overall atmosphere was family oriented. This was our favorite excursion!! If you want a day to play in the water and have fun with the family, this is the excursion for you.
Mahalo for your review! We're so glad you and your family enjoyed our tour. -Team KBOS
It was amazing to swim with so many fish. I rented a wetsuit, which I hadn't planned to do initially, but it turned out to be the right decision because the water temperature was lower than I expected, and it protected me from the coral and underwater rocks. I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but the suit provided buoyancy, allowing me to snorkel with ease. Guides Dan and Chieko took us to points where we could see a lot of fish. They also took many photos before, during, and after snorkeling, which I really appreciated. They arranged transportation to the hotel and made the reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, making it easy to participate. Throughout the experience, they were very attentive, allowing me to enjoy the tour comfortably and happily. I would love to join again if I have the opportunity!
たくさんの魚と一緒に泳ぐことができて最高でした。当初借りる予定のなかったウェットスーツをレンタルしましたが、水温が思ったより低かったこととサンゴや水中の岩から身を守れたため、レンタルして正解でした。泳ぎに自信がなかったのですが、スーツ自体に浮力があるので、安心してシュノーケルすることができました。ガイドのダンさんチエコさんが魚のいるポイントまで連れて行ってくれるのでたくさんの魚を見ることができます。シュノーケル前後、シュノーケル中もたくさん写真を撮ってくださり有難かったです。ホテルまでの送迎やハナウマ湾の入場予約もしてくれるので気軽に参加できました。終始、丁寧に対応していただいたので楽しく快適にツアーを楽しむことができました。また機会があれば参加したいです!
I participated on July 20, 2023.
The wind was a bit strong, but the weather was clear, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling at the sandbar and Half Moon Reef.
The sandbar was shallow enough to reach my knees, and I had fun taking photos and practicing snorkeling. The water clarity was amazing.
The BBQ hamburger lunch was incredibly delicious, and as expected, American hamburgers are exceptional.
While snorkeling at Half Moon Reef, I was able to see many beautiful fish around the coral reef.
2023.7.20に参加しました。
風が少し強かったですが天気は快晴で、サンドバーとハーフムーンリーフのシュノケーリングを満喫しました。
サンドバーは膝下が浸かる位の深さで、写真を撮ったり、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして楽しみました。海の透明度が凄かったです。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーランチはパティがめちゃくちゃ美味しかったです。やっぱり、アメリカのハンバーガーは絶品です。
ハーフムーンリーフのシュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の回りをシュノーケリングして、綺麗な魚を沢山見る事ができました。
We finally made it to Hawaii for our honeymoon! ⭐︎ We booked this trip based on my husband's desire to swim with dolphins. We headed out on a boat and spotted dolphins! They were so cute swimming on the surface ^_^ On the day of our activity, the water was a kilometer deep and the waves were high, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the support from the staff, we were able to get into the water. Although we couldn't swim with the dolphins, we now have a goal to come back to Hawaii for a second try! They even set up a slide and diving board from the boat. My husband had the most fun of anyone! It seems the activity was incredibly enjoyable ^_^ We got to swim in the middle of the vast ocean in Hawaii, creating unforgettable memories! Our Japanese guide, Minako, was truly wonderful! She was bright, fun, and made all our fears about the ocean disappear! Thank you so much! ♪
It was really, really fun! Thank you for the wonderful memories! We'll definitely come back!
新婚旅行で念願のハワイに⭐︎
イルカと泳ぎたい!という主人の願望の元、予約させて頂きました。
ボートで向かい、イルカを発見!水面を泳いでいるイルカが可愛かった^_^
参加した当日は水深1キロもあり、波も高く怖かったですが、スタッフの方のサポートもあり、海に入ることが出来ました。
イルカと泳ぐことは叶いませんでしたが、またリベンジしにハワイに行く!という目標が出来ました♪
ボートからの滑り台や飛び込み台をだしてくれて。
主人が誰よりも楽しんでいました!笑
アクティビティーが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったみたいです^_^
ハワイの広い海のど真ん中で泳ぐことが出来て、一生の思い出を目に焼き付けました!
日本人ガイドのミナコさん!
本当に素敵な方!明るくて、楽しくて、海の怖さも吹っ飛ばしてくれました!
ありがとうございました♪
本当に本当に楽しかったです!
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました♪
また行きます!
Thank you for joining us! We are glad you enjoyed the dolphin swim and marine activities, and that you had a great time in the waters of Hawaii! Please come back and visit us again. Mahalo!
ご参加ありがとうございました!
ドルフィンスイムにマリンアクティビティー、ハワイの海を満喫していただけて嬉しいです!
ぜひまた遊びに来てくださいね。
Mahalo
Super. The Crew was fantastic. We saw one tu of fishes. Thé catamaran ride was short but very nice
The shuttle is great
Food is really good
Staff is amazing
We had a great time
They need to add more beach activities
Kayaking etc
I participated in the initial practice for snorkeling because I was anxious about going out to sea the next day. Since it was my first experience with snorkeling, the calm waves made it a great place for beginners. All the instructions were in English. They explained how to put on the gear, how to breathe, and the precautions. After that, we practiced in an area where we couldn't touch the bottom. It was mentioned that there was a locker for valuables, but all participants' belongings were placed in a large box with a lock, which was mostly left open. It's better not to bring valuables.
Since it was the same location as scuba diving, it seemed there were staff members coming and going. There were only park restrooms and an outdoor shower. This time, there were two children and me, along with two Americans in our group. For those who can't swim, the instructor pulls a float, so you can hold on and practice. I highly recommend this for anyone who feels anxious about going straight into the sea.
翌日の海に出てシュノーケリングが不安だったのでの初練習として参加。初体験シュノーケリングなので参加して波が穏やかで、初体験の場所として良かったです。説明は全て英語です。付け方や息の仕方の方法、注意事項を説明その後は足が付かない所でずっと練習、貴重品ロッカーと書いてありましたが、大きな鍵付きの箱の中に参加者全員の荷物を入れる、ほぼ開けっぱなしです。貴重品は持たない方が良いですね。
スキューバダイビングと同じ場所なので入れ違いで誰かスタッフがいるようでした。
公園のトイレと外にシャワーがあるだけです。
今回は子供2人と私、アメリカ人2人のグループでした。泳げない人はインストラクターが浮き具を引いてくれるので捕まって練習してました。
いきなり海に開くのが不安な方にはとてもお勧めです。
The bus picked us up right in front of the hotel, which was very helpful. The inside of the bus was cold, just like "theBUS," so I recommend bringing a jacket!
Since it was an early morning plan, I had a light breakfast at the hotel, but on the boat, they provided drinks, spam onigiri, snacks, and fruits. The hot coffee was really delicious! The couple sitting next to us brought sandwiches, and I thought it would have been nice to enjoy that on the boat instead of at the hotel.
The staff who spoke Japanese kindly explained about the life jackets, how to play, and movies filmed in the area.
I checked the tide online and made a reservation, but the tide level during my session was just about waist-high! It was my first time trying SUP, and since the water was only waist-deep, it was easy to retry after falling, and I had a lot of fun.
While I was playing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, a friendly staff member offered to take my picture and captured me standing on the board! (There was even a moment when I lost my balance and fell, which was funny.)
During snorkeling, I had a great encounter with sea turtles and fish.
After getting out of the water, it was cold, and the young man next to me was shivering a lot. I recommend bringing a jacket, not just a T-shirt, like in the bus! Also, some hotels lend out bath towels, so it might be good to ask about that.
After getting off the boat, I was able to change at a nearby restroom. I had a really enjoyable experience and was very satisfied.
ホテルの前までバスで迎えに来ていただいて、助かります。
車内は「theBUS」同様 寒かったので、
羽織りを持っていくことをオススメします!
早朝プランだったので、ホテルで軽く朝食を食べてきていましたが
船では、ドリンク・スパムおにぎり・スナック・フルーツなどを用意してくれていました。
ホットコーヒーがとても美味しかったです!
同乗していたご夫婦は、サンドイッチなども持参されていて、
船上で気持ちがいいし、ホテルで食べずにそれもアリだったな〜!と思いました。
日本語を話せるスタッフさんが、
救命具のこと、遊び方、周辺で撮影された映画のことなど優しく説明してくれました。
一応潮の満ち引きはネットで調べて予約をしましたが、
私が参加した回は潮の高さはちょうど腰ほどでした!
SUPは初挑戦でしたが、落ちても潮が腰の高さなので
リトライしやすく、とても楽しかったです。
防水ケースにスマホを入れて遊んでいたら、
気さくなスタッフの方が「写真撮りますよ」と声をかけてくださって、
ボードの上に立っている姿を撮影してくれました!(バランス崩して落ちる瞬間も笑)
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメ、魚にバッチリ逢えました。
海から上がったあとは寒くて、隣の青年がめちゃくちゃ震えていました。
Tシャツだけでなく、バス内同様 羽織りの持参がオススメです…!
また、バスタオルを貸し出してくれるホテルもあるので聞いてみると良いかと思います。
船を降りた後、すぐ近くのお手洗いで着替えができました。
とっても楽しい体験ができて満足です。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Seas tour. We also appreciate you sharing your review and photos. As you mentioned, after coming out of the water, your body can be wet, and even in summer, the wind can make you feel cold, so we recommend bringing a larger bath towel or a jacket. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the spam musubi and coffee. We hope you will come back to play in Paradise of the Seas on your next trip to Hawaii. Mahalo!
アロハ! キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。
またレビュー&写真も共有いただきありがとうございます。AAA様がおっしゃる通りで、海から上がった後は体も濡れていますし、夏でも風が吹くことから体が冷えることがありますので、大きめのバスタオルや上着を持参いただくことをおすすめしております。
スパムむすびやコーヒーも楽しんで頂けて嬉しいです。
次回のハワイ旅行もぜひまた天国の海に遊びにいらしていただけましたら幸いです。Mahalo!
Staff were friendly and the musicians were great! Had the best time. Considering you get a boat ride to the sandbar and all of the activities when you get there, this has to be the best bang for your buck anywhere.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
