Oahu
I make a reservation every time I come to Hawaii. Especially while waiting for the sunset, enjoying my favorite sparkling wine, Hawaiian beer, and cocktails is the best.
ハワイに来る度に予約してます
特にサンセットを待ちながらゆっくり好きなスパークリング、ハワイビール、カクテル三昧は最高です
The Japanese guide provided a thorough explanation, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. I was also satisfied with the many photos taken. It seems that the snorkeling route changes depending on the tides, so those planning to go in the future might want to research it in advance.
日本語ガイドさんが丁寧に説明してくださったので終始安心でした。写真もたくさんとってくださって満足しました。潮の満ち引きによってシュノーケルのルートが変わるそうなので、これから行く方は事前に調べておくのもいいかもしれません。
Great hosts and were really great about making sure that we could all see sea turtles :)
Mahalo for joining us. Please come again.
Breathing taking experience. The view of O'ahu Island was one to never forget. I couldn't believe how beautiful the view was. This is a MUST activity!
Unbelievable view of the island from where we were. Amazing experience to say the least.
Mahalo for your review! - Team KBOS
An amazing experience and the staff (Dom and Bill) were outstanding! Super funny and great guides. I would recommend them highly.
We enjoyed our half-day experience. As tourists, the Secret Island experience was nice because it satisfied my desire to do kayaking and paddle boarding. The beach was nice for young kids because they had supplies to build sand-castles, however that is the most of what my young children really enjoyed. In retrospect, most of the activities there would be best for older children and teenagers to really enjoy. For families with younger children, it may be best to buy some sand toys and head to a local beach.
The staffs are very nice and professional. I booked the snorkeling + transportation package.
The driver Kaplan is so nice, he will introduce many hidden gem restaurants in Honolulu, and I tried the Yakitori restaurant right away after I finished the tour, the food is so good! Thanks to Kaplan.
For snorkeling, the staff will guide you when you are snorkeling all the time, for them safety is the priority. Also, they will provide some rice balls, energy bars, snacks, hot coffee, and fruits in the boat. You can always go by boat when you are tired.
Strongly recommendended!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your experience with the Capt. Bruce tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!
Let's start with the boat - Fabulous & modern, a vessel to be admired. The captain and crew - freaking amazing, patient, kind, informative, went above and beyond. Took us right out to the sea turtles. It was a perfect day with perfect hosts and an experience we will never forget.
What disappointed me with this trip was the last minute change of pick up to another location due to an event but after careful observation, that said event does not affect the area where we were at because a lot of other tour companies are picking their guests in front of our hotel. Despite my plea, it wasn't attended to. The staff and Manager were stern not to accommodate a simple request.
There were various courses to choose from, and I made the right decision by choosing the buggy course! I was a bit worried because there was no Japanese-speaking staff, but there were staff members who were used to dealing with tourists, so I was able to complete the tour without any issues! The price is a bit high, but it was fun!
色々なコースがあり悩みましたが、バギーのコースにして大正解でした!
日本語対応の方がいなくて少し悩みましたが、観光客への対応は慣れているスタッフさんもいてなんとかツアーを無事終えることができました!
お値段は少し張りますが、たのしかったです!
From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.
The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.
The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.
Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.
In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!
Mahalo for your great review!
If you're pressed with time and wants to see all of OAHU'S best, this is the best tour amongst all available in the market. It is understandable if you can't spend to much a time in each place but substantial enough for sightseeing and snapping photos. I love the Shrimp lunch I had at Kualoa's Ranch.
Riding the horse was challenging at times, but it was fun. The instructor was kind, and there was nothing I didn't understand. The scenery was just beautiful, and the horses were adorable.
The sunlight was strong, and there were times when tall grass and branches could hit you, so I recommend wearing long sleeves. Also, if you can't use your card for the dedicated lockers, you'll need to use cash, so it's a good idea to have $5 on hand.
馬に乗るのは難しいところもあったけど、楽しかった。
インストラクターの人は親切だったし、わからないことはなかった。
景色がとにかく良くて、馬も可愛かった。
日差しも強く、背の高い草や枝が当たることもあるので、長袖の着用をおすすめします。
また、専用のロッカーは手持ちのカードが使えない場合、紙幣を入れることになるので5ドルは手持ちがあった方が安心です
There were few customers, and the wait time wasn't too long, but there were less than half of the available slides, which was unsatisfactory.
Still, I think it was good that the kids were having fun on the available slides.
Since meals weren't included, I ordered lunch from the concession stand, but the fries were salty and the hot dog was average. I understood that food at places like this tends to be expensive, but the quality was low. Moreover, even though I ordered five items and paid for them, one item didn't arrive. Normally, when paying by credit card, I would expect a receipt, but since they took the receipt when I picked up the food, I couldn't report that one item was missing.
I think the facility itself is a fun place to spend time, but if they are going to charge high prices, they should improve the quality of their staff a little more.
お客様は少なく待ち時間もさほどなかったのですが、空いているスライダーが半分以下で満足のいくものではなかったです。
それでも子ども達は空いているスライダーで楽しそうにしていたので良かったと思います。
食事がついていなかったので、売店で昼食を頼みましたがポテトはしょっぱくホットドックも普通で、こういう場所の食事なので高いのは分かっていましたが、クオリティーは低いです。しかも5つ頼んで料金も支払ったのに1つ来ませんでした。クレジット払いで普通は控えがあると思いますが、食事を受け取る際に控えを持っていかれた為レシートが手元になく頼んだものが1つ来ていないと言うことも出来ませんでした。
施設自体は楽しく過ごせる所だと思いますが、高い料金をとるならもう少しだけでもスタッフのクオリティーをあげた方がいいと思います。
This is my several visits to Oahu, but I was able to be picked up and dropped off according to the traffic conditions, which made it stress-free. Thank you very much.
何度目かのオアフ島ですが、多分交通状態に合わせて送迎して頂き、ストレスなく送迎して頂きました、
有難う御座います
It seems that the hotel shuttle was probably mistaken, as I waited for about 10 minutes at the hotel early in the morning with no one around. It was disappointing that there was no announcement.
次のホテルの送迎は多分間違えたらしく早朝誰も居ないホテルで10分ぐらい待ってました。何もアナウンスも無く残念です
It was unfortunately a cloudy day.
The water was warmer.
I think the limited time and location for snorkeling is for safety reasons, but I wish I could have enjoyed it a bit more.
I was able to see a large turtle resting among the coral.
I want to visit this place again on a sunny day.
あいにくの曇り空でした。
水中の方が温かかったです。
スノーケリングの時間場所が限られてるのは安全の為だとは思いますが、もうすこし楽しみたかったです。
珊瑚の中で休憩している大きな亀さんも眺める事ができました。
次は晴天の時に行きたい場所です。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heaven on Earth Tour. Despite the unfortunate cloudy weather, it was very lucky to encounter a large turtle. They say that meeting a turtle brings happy events, right? We hope that your next visit to Heaven on Earth will be blessed with clear skies! We look forward to your next participation.
この度はキャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。あいにくの曇り空のなかでも大きな亀さんに出会えたのはとってもラッキーでしたね。亀さんと出会えるとハッピーな出来事をやってくるとか? ぜひ今度の天国の海は晴天に恵まれますように!次回のご参加お待ちしております。
The long-awaited parasailing was enjoyable, and the journey to the point was fun as well. I also felt that the airtime was longer than expected. However, while they took photos for us, the quality felt a bit rushed considering the high price for the photo service. Additionally, there was a strong push for tips, which was a bit off-putting.
念願のパラセーリングは、ポイントにつくまでの道のりも楽しかったですし、対空時間も思いのほか長かったと思います。ただ、写真撮影もしてもらいましたが、写真撮影代が高かった割に全体的にやっつけ感は否めず、、、チップアピールはしっかりされたので、ちょっと引いてしまいました。
The crew was very knowledgeable and friendly! Lunch was delicious. Fun to meet other people from all over.
We participated as a couple. The transportation, local guide, and snorkeling instructions were all provided in careful Japanese, which was very helpful. It was difficult to get there since you can't take the trolley from Waikiki, and the bus requires transfers, so I was quite anxious about it, but this tour with a guide completely alleviated those concerns. The drive included information about Hawaii, and upon arrival, the guide was always ahead of us to provide guidance. Both of us were very satisfied. Thank you very much.
夫婦で参加しました。送迎から現地ガイド、シュノーケリングのご指導やポイントなど、丁寧に日本語で教えて下さり、助かりました。
ワイキキからトロリーでは行けないし、バスは乗り換えが必要だし、とにかく行きにくいし不安でしたが、ガイドさん付のこのツアーで完全にその不安は解消しました。
道中もハワイ情報交えながらのドライブ感覚、到着後も常に先回りしてもらって案内。夫婦とも大変満足しました。ありがとうございました。
The crew was very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about Hawaiian culture from them.
The pickup to the hotel was punctual, which is often not the case overseas where timing can be more approximate. When we arrived at the airport, they stopped right in front of the check-in counter for our airline, making it very smooth!
ホテルへのお迎え、海外では時間がアバウトなケースが多いものですが定刻通りに来てくれました。
空港に着いた時も利用する航空会社の受付のドンピシャ手前で停めて頂きスムーズでした!
The Chief was so funny and endearing.
The dancers were fabulous as were the fire dancers.
Es war ein sehr interessanter Tag.
Alles war gut organisiert.
Mit dem Audioguides konnte man alle Informationen bekommen.
Leider war die Gepäckabgabe sehr teuer, 2 Rucksäcke kosten 20 $, wir dachten nicht dafür noch extra zahlen zu müssen.
I'm a repeat visitor, and perhaps because there were few Japanese people, I had trouble with the explanations in English. However, there was a staff member who understood Japanese, which was a great help. I was sad that I couldn't see the honu like before, but I was treated kindly.
リピーターですが日本人が少ないせいか説明が英語で困っていたら
日本語のわかるスタッフがいて助かりました
以前よりホヌには会えないのが寂しかったけど
親切にしてもらいました
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We hope you will come back to Paradise Ocean this summer, just like last year. We hope to see the honu this time!!
アロハ!千枝姐さん様
キャプテンブルース・天国の海ツアーへご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。
昨年の夏に引き続き今年の夏もまた天国の海に遊びにいらして下さい。今度こそホヌたちと会えますように!!
The sea felt great and I was excited. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales, but that's okay. I enjoyed it as if I were on a cruise.
海が気持ちよく行きはワクワク
残念ながらクジラは会えませんでしたが仕方ないですね。
クルージングをしたつもりで楽しみました
The staff was awesome! We had a wonderful time at the sandbar. Highly recommended! I would suggest booking the morning excursion. Worked for us wonderfully! The bad was so fun. Played all the songs requested.
Mahalo for the review! - Team KBOS
I was taken care of for both the airport to hotel and hotel to airport transfers. The driver was talking while driving, but unfortunately, I couldn't understand anything due to my limited English skills, which was frustrating. Of course, I was aware that the driver was an English speaker, so I was prepared for that.
空港からホテル、ホテルから空港、往復ともお世話になりました。
ドライバーさんが何かをしゃべりながら運転していましたが、残念ながら私の英語力では全く理解できず、悔しい思いをしました。
もちろん英語スピーカーのドライバーさんだということは承知の上なので、覚悟はしていましたが。
While there may be various opinions, I highly recommend visiting Kualoa Ranch at least once. You’ll get used to driving the buggy in about five minutes. It’s amazing to enjoy such great nature just about an hour from downtown Honolulu.
The instructors speak entirely in English, and while I didn’t understand everything 100%, they provide detailed and enjoyable explanations about Hawaii’s history and legends.
There are warnings regarding dirt, but in reality, it wasn’t that bothersome. The smell of the helmet was a bit noticeable, but aside from that, given the opportunity to enjoy nature and interact with animals, some dirt and smell are somewhat unavoidable.
Overall, I think it was a very good experience.
色々と賛否もあると思いますが、クアロア牧場は一度は行くことをお勧めいたします。
バギーの運転も5分で慣れます。
ホノルル市内から1時間程度でここまで大自然を満喫できるのは最高です。
インストラクターの方はすべて英語で、私も100%理解はできておりませんが、
ハワイの歴史や言い伝えなどかなり詳しく丁寧に(楽しく)説明してくれます。
汚れに等に関しても注意勧告はありますが、実際はそれほど汚れは気になりませんでした。
若干ヘルメットの匂いが少し気になった程度です(笑)
ただ、大自然を満喫し、動物たちと触れ合う以上、汚れや匂いはある程度仕方のないことです。
トータルで考慮して、とても良い経験だったと思います。
