Oahu
I finally landed on the sandbar that I've wanted to visit for a long time after seeing it on TV! I participated at the timing when the tide was at its lowest during this trip, but the water only receded to knee level, so I couldn't actually land! However, I had plenty of fun with the free rentals of kayaks, SUPs, and snorkeling gear.
The lunch provided was not exactly satisfying, but since it was a meal on the boat, it felt delicious. This time, I brought my daughter along, and my husband and I were worried that we might disturb other guests, but everyone was warm and welcoming, which was great. On top of that, we were really lucky and happy to see a sea turtle!
前々からテレビ等で観ていて行ってみたかったサンドバーに上陸⁈して来ました。
今回の旅程の中では1番潮が引いたタイミングを選んでの参加でしたが
当方膝下レベルまでしか潮が引いておらず、上陸とはなりませんでした！
しかしながら無料レンタルのカヤック、SUP、シュノーケリングなどなどで
充分楽しめました。
昼食内容は決して満足レベルではありませんが、船上での食事という事で
美味しく感じる事が出来ました。
今回は娘も連れて参加の為、他のお客様に迷惑になってしまうかもと
夫婦で心配していましたが、皆さんにも暖かくお仲間にして頂けて良かったです。
おまけにウミガメも見れて本当にラッキー&ハッピーでした。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed various activities. It's great that you were able to see the turtles! We sincerely look forward to your next visit.

The sandy beach was not visible, and there was water everywhere. However, the crew was kind, the stand-up paddleboarding was fun, the barbecue was delicious, and it was great to see sea turtles! It's best not to have high expectations for just the sandbar! Motion sickness medication is a must.
砂浜はでておらず、ずっと水がある状態でした。でも、クルーは親切、サップは楽しく、バーベキューも美味しく、ウミガメも見れてよかったです！サンドバーのみの期待は、しない方がいいです！酔い止め必須です。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Reef Tour. The scenery at the sandbar changes depending on the day and time, but regardless of natural conditions, our staff works hard to ensure your satisfaction throughout the tour with activities like snorkeling and meals. We are very pleased to receive your kind words. We sincerely look forward to the opportunity for you to experience a different aspect of the sandbar next time.
この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへのご参加誠にありがとうございました。サンドバーはその日その時によりご覧いただける景色が変わってまいりますが、自然条件に関わらずシュノーケリングやアクティビティ、そしてお食事などでツアー全体を通してにご満足いただけるようにスタッフ一同努力いたしておりますので、お褒めの言葉をいただきとても嬉しく思っております。またの機会にぜひ違った表今日のサンドバーを体験していただけますことを心よりお待ち申し上げております。

I participated in January! The staff on the boat were really great! However, it was too cold due to the season. It took a lot of determination to get into the sea. We saw a lot of turtles, and the kids seemed to have a lot of fun. I think we could have enjoyed it even more if the weather had been better!
1月に参加しました！船に乗ってたスタッフさん方はすごいよかった！ただ季節もあって寒すぎました。海に入るのは気合いがいりました。
亀はほんとにたくさん見えて子どもは楽しそうにしてました。季節がよければもっと楽しめたなと思いました！

We rented a cabana, so we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves! The occupancy rate was lower than before, but I think that's to be expected in winter. However, it was great that our family of four could have fun together.
カバナを借りたのでゆっくり楽しめました！！
以前より稼動率がわるかったけど、
冬だから仕方ないと思います。

I was prepared for the possibility that I might not see it, but...
Unfortunately, I ended up on a disappointing day.
Maybe it's just right to think of it as lucky if I do get to see it!?
必ず見られるとは限らないとは覚悟してたけど・・・
そんな残念な日に当たってしまった。
見れたラッキーぐらいがちょうど良いかも！？
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly sorry that the whales did not make an appearance. We understand that travelers are hoping for that one chance, and it can be disheartening when luck doesn't go their way. If you have the opportunity to visit Hawaii again in the winter, we hope you will give it another try.
この度はスターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうございました。クジラが姿を見せず本当に残念です。ご旅行の方々は、ワンチャンスにかけていらっしゃるので、ラッキー・アンラッキー次第になってしまうことは、心苦しく思います。また、冬のハワイにお越しになる機会があれば、再チャレンジ願います。

The weather was clear with not a cloud in sight, and the guide mentioned how lucky we were. Since it was an attraction in the ocean, they kindly explained the precautions, which made me, who had been thinking it would be easy, take things more seriously. I felt a bit anxious, but thanks to their kind guidance, I was able to enjoy it safely. Meeting the sea turtles was the best! I will definitely participate again when I come to Hawaii!
雲一つないお天気で、ガイドさんもラッキーですねとおっしゃってました。海でのアトラクションなので、注意事項も丁寧に教えてくださって、簡単に考えていた私も気を引き締めました。不安も少し出てきましたが、親切に教えてくださって、安全に楽しむ事ができました。ウミガメさんにも会えて最高！ハワイに来たらまた必ず参加します〜

On the first day we arrived, we participated right away and had fun with the kids. We did all seven activities, but by the end, we were quite tired. The instructors were kind and taught us well, so my 9-year-old son was very satisfied and enjoyed himself.
着いた初日にいきなり参加しましたが子供たちと楽しめました。7本すべてをしましたが最後の方は結構疲れました。インストラクターの方たちが優しく教えてくれましたので9歳の息子も十分満足して楽しみました。

The scenery was amazing, and the weather was great—I want to do it again! It was a shame that the seat on the horse was hard, and my leg bones started to hurt. I would be happy if there was a soft cushion available!
景色が最高で気候も良くてまたやりたい！
馬の上に座った時に座るところが固くて足の骨が痛くなったのが残念。柔らかいクッションみたいなのできたらあると嬉しい！

I made a reservation the night before the experience, and everything went smoothly, including the hotel pick-up. On the day of the activity, we were blessed with good weather and calm waves, allowing us to have a great time. We enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, and we were able to see sea turtles up close, which was very satisfying. The half-day schedule was also convenient, especially since there are so many things I want to do in Hawaii. It was nice that it wasn't too physically demanding compared to diving, so I could enjoy it without getting too tired. The staff were friendly and approachable, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and I had a fulfilling time. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance.
現地で体験前日の夜に予約を取りましたが、ホテルの送迎含め問題なく参加して帰ってくることができました。
当日は、天候にも恵まれ波も穏やかで思いきり遊べました。サップやシュノーケリング、そしてウミガメも近くで観られ、大満足でした。半日というスケジュールも、ハワイでやりたい事が沢山あるなかで気軽に参加しやすいとも思います。体力的にも、ダイビングと違いそこまで疲れずに楽しめた事がよかったです。スタッフの方も気軽に話しかけてくれて、雰囲気もよく充実した時間が過ごせました。また、機会があったらぜひ参加したいです。

It was truly a breathtaking view, just as seen in the photos. The weather was also great that day, and everything was very beautiful. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, but snorkeling was a lot of fun!!
写真で見るように、本当に絶景でした。その日は天気にも恵まれて、とてもキレイでした。ウミガメは残念ながら遠くにいるものが見えただけでしたが、シュノーケルも楽しかったです！！
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the breathtaking views. The turtles are wild animals, so they tend to appear when they do, but sometimes they don't come out at all. We hope that next time they will come closer! 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。絶景を楽しんで頂けたとのこと、嬉しく思います。カメさんは野生の動物なので、見られるときはポンポン出て来るのですが、なかなか来てくれないこともあるんですよね。きっと次こそは！！もっと近くに来てくれるように祈ってます！！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。

The crew was amazing. The drink service was good, and although it was difficult to find whales, they worked hard and never gave up, and we finally got to see them. I will invite my friends to join me for the next show, as I will be going to Hawaii again soon.
乗組員が最高だった。
飲み物のサービス、なかなかクジラが見つからなかったが諦めず一生懸命探してくれて、ついに見ることができた。観劇、また、近々ハワイに行くので友達を誘って参加します。

The sea was beautiful and the breeze felt wonderful! During the underwater scooter experience, the instructor was right there with us, so there was no confusion, and we got to see fish up close as well as a sea turtle!
The instructor for the experience didn't speak Japanese, but it wasn't a problem at all. They seemed to understand simple Japanese, so I felt no anxiety.
However, the boat rocked quite a bit, so I think motion sickness medication is a must. I tend to get seasick easily, and I forgot to take my medication, which turned out to be quite a situation, haha. My husband, who usually doesn't get seasick, was also affected quite a bit, so that's the only downside!
海がきれいでとても風が気持ちいかったです！水中スクーターの最中はインストラクターさんが付きっきりなので迷うこともないですし、まじかでお魚も見れてウミガメも見れました！！
体験のインストラクターさんは日本語が通じないけれど、特に問題ありませんでした。簡単な日本語なら解るらしく、不安はなかったです。
ただ、船が結構揺れるので酔い止めは必須だと思います。私は元々酔いやすいのに、酔い止め忘れてえらいことになりました笑
旦那さんも船酔いあんまりしない人なのに結構やられてたので、難点はそこだけですね！！

Chieko is the best! We had the best snorkeling tour.
Thank you Natalie! you guys did great! Chieko.
I think the show itself was enjoyable, so that was good! However, the meal was a bit different from what I had signed up for, which was a little disappointing! I believe crab was supposed to be included... The directions were unclear! I think it could have been prevented with some arrows!
ショー自体は楽しめたので良かったと思います!
食事は申し込んだ時とは少し違いがあったのでちょっとガッカリしました！カニが予定ではあったはずだったのですが…
案内が分かりにくかったです！矢印でも有れば防げたと思います!

This was my second time participating in a dolphin tour in Hawaii. In a word, it was the best! The staff were all friendly, and it was truly a fun tour! I swam with dolphins as far as the eye could see, and there was plenty of time to enjoy activities like boating and snorkeling afterward! The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious.
I'm already excited about joining the turtle university! If you're considering a dolphin tour in Hawaii, I absolutely recommend it!!
ハワイでイルカのツアーに参加するのは今回が2回目でした。一言で言うと、【最高】です！
スタッフが皆フレンドリーで本当に楽しい楽しいツアーでした！
見渡す限りのイルカたちと一緒に泳ぎその後はボートやシュノーケルのアクティビティを堪能する時間も沢山ありました！昼食のチーズバーガーもとても美味しかったです(^^)
時間は亀大学に参加したいと今からワクワクしています⭐︎
ハワイでイルカツアーをするなら、絶対おススメです！！
Thank you for participating!
Hearing that you had a great time is the best encouragement for our staff.
At Turtle University, you can enjoy snorkeling and marine activities while taking in the views of Diamond Head and Waikiki, so please come and experience it!

ご参加ありがとうございます！
楽しかったという言葉がスタッフの何よりの励みです。
カメ大学はダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの風景を一望しながらシュノーケルとマリンアクティビティーを楽しめますのでぜひぜひ体験しにいらしてくださいね。

When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.
For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).
I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.
The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!
港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした（酔い止め薬は必須かと思います）
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見！30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです！
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。

This tour was really good, the tour guides were full of humour and fun stories to tell, the vehicles were comfortable and the tours well done. (Would've like just a -little- more time in some of the places (not a lot, just 2-3 more minutes maybe)).
But I would definitely recommend this full day tour to anyone, there's something for everyone at Kualoa Ranch.
VELTRA deserves praise too, I got a voucher from a friend and had trouble redeeming it, contacted VELTRA on Facebook and was told I had to call to book the tour and they would add my voucher. As I didn't have a working phone available they managed to transform the voucher into points and add them to my VELTRA account. I was then free to use it for this booking. Thank you for making it so easy for me :-)
I got seasick on the boat before boarding the submarine. In the morning, the waves were high and it was very rocky. I think it's essential for those who get seasick to take motion sickness medication. However, I was glad that I was able to see turtles.
潜水艦に乗るまでの船で船酔いしました。
朝は波が高くとても揺れてました。
船酔いする人は酔い止め必須かなとおもいます。
ですが、カメも見ることができ良かったとはおもいます。

I did this tour with my friend who is not from the island. It was her first time on a submarine and she was amazed by how beautiful it was underwater. The boat ride to the submarine was very smooth and because the weather was so nice we decided to sit on the top deck. The view from the deck was amazing. Just as we departed we were able to see a sea turtle swimming next to our boat. The submarine ride itself wasn't so bad we were able to see turtles, sharks, and a lot of fish. It was a bit cold so I do recommend bringing a jacket since you will be underwater for quite some time. My friend and I really enjoyed the tour and we would love to go back and try it again!
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent experience with us, from the shuttle boat ride to the deep-sea exploration. We love hearing from our guests and are thrilled to know you had a fantastic submarine adventure! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback and recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back aboard in the future for another underwater journey! A hui hou (until next time).
I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!
When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.
It was great. The dancing was awesome and the food was great. One of the best Luau's I've been to.
It was great. Saw lots of whales and got lots of pictures. Awesome ship as well.
Aloha! We’re happy to hear you had an awesome whale watch cruise with us! We're glad you enjoyed watching the whales! We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and taking part in the Aloha spirit. We hope you’ll join us again soon! Mahalo!
It was great. Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Was hoping to see a Whale, but they were gone on the day we went.
It was great. The show was great and so was the food.
It was a great experience. Saw lots of fish and a Sea Turtle.
Thanks Rick, glad you had fun! Dan.
It was great. Very informative and professional tour guide. They were filming the movie Jumanji while we were at the falls.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, we will be sure to forward them to your guide... : )))

After checking in at the pickup location, we received a paper with the schedule and order of today's activities, along with colored tape wrapped around our wrists. It seems there were many participants that day, as we took two buses. As we drove along the coast towards the North Shore for about 70 minutes, we could see pastures on the left, and soon we spotted the sign for Kualoa Ranch. In the pastures, there were cows, cows, and more cows, along with a cowboy on horseback, which heightened our excitement.
We were welcomed by staff playing the ukulele in front of the guest center and received explanations about the meeting points for each activity. After that, everyone participated in their chosen course. The meal was a simple buffet, and later the staff informed us that the chicken and pork were raised on the ranch. It seems that popular courses like horseback riding and the ATV tour fill up quickly, so it's best to make reservations early. If the weather isn't good (you'll need a change of clothes if it rains), the value of the experience diminishes a bit.
If you want to visit the filming locations, you need to join the movie set tour to see everything. Reviews mention that you can see some parts from the ATV and horseback riding, but we only caught glimpses. The movie set tour provides thorough explanations, and there are tours available in Japanese as well. At the Jurassic Park filming location, we got off the bus to take photos, and the staff helped take pictures with everyone's smartphones.
One downside is that while the restrooms are large, there are only two of them, so if you don't use them during the free time between tours (which is scheduled for 15 minutes), it can become quite a hassle. Be cautious!

This is my second time at Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific. No matter how many times I go, I always want to return to this paradise. This time, the depth of the ocean was high, and the water's clarity was lacking, which was a bit disappointing. However, I believe I can't miss Paradise of the Pacific on my next trip to Hawaii.
これで2回目の、キャプテン・ブルース 天国の海です。

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. And to our returning guests, welcome back!! January had continuous rain, which may have caused the water clarity to be lower, and that was unfortunate. The weather during the rainy season is unpredictable, isn't it...? Still, we are thrilled to hear that you consider this an essential tour!! We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
