Oahu
I was glad to see a large giant trevally and colorful fish gathering around the artificial reef. I also got to see a honu (sea turtle) at the end!
大きなギンガメアジをはじめ、カラフルな魚が人工漁礁で群れている姿を見ることが出来て良かったです。最後にホヌも見れました!
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your review. We are thrilled to hear that you explored over 100 feet underwater with us! We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!レビューを共有していただきありがとうございます。あなたが私たちと一緒に海の下で100フィート以上を探索したのを聞いて喜んでいます!あなたの親切な言葉に感謝し、すぐに再びあなたを歓迎することを楽しみにしています。マハロ!
Cheiko san was a wonderful tour guide for a first time snorkeler. She was experienced, frhendly and professional! It was wonderful to follow her and explore underwater world. Even though the weather was a bit windy and waves were high, we could still enjoy safe snorkeling with her.
Participants need to bring some extra cash for equipment rental, entrance fee and others.
Thank you, you did great! Hope we see you again. Chieko.
Billy, our guide, was fluent in Japanese, had a great sense of humor with dad jokes, and was a fun and cheerful person. He taught us about various plants on the way to Manoa Falls. The lunch was also delicious.
ガイドのビリーさんは、日本語が堪能で、オヤジギャグも出るし、楽しくて愉快な方でした。
マノアの滝までに、いろいろな植物を教えてもらいました。ランチも美味しかったです。
It was a fun time since it was an electric bike, so it wasn't tiring at all. However, I think it would be better if there were more detailed explanations on the site regarding the application process and that the return bus to Waikiki is different from the bus going there, including the time schedule.
電動自転車なので全然しんどくなく、楽しい時間でしたが、ただ日本の説明等がない為もう少し申し込み時の事や帰りのバスは行きのバスと違い時間帯でワイキキ行きのバスに乗るなどの詳しい説明をサイトの方からしてあったらもっと良くなると思う
I often encounter both unpleasant and good things, as well as strange occurrences in my daily life, and I was able to showcase that ability. I got to see everything, including the honu, whale spouts, and rainbows, which I hear can sometimes be elusive. The crew was very friendly, and I even got to take the helm.
普段から身の周りに嫌なことからいい事、奇怪な事までエンカウント(遭遇)してしまう私ですが、その能力を発揮してしまいました
ホヌや、ホエールの潮、虹、出会えないこともあるらしいのが、全部見れました
クルーも気さくな方ばっかりで舵もきらせてもらえました
About three days ago, the first tour was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour. They picked us up by bus, and from there we moved to the sandbar by boat. I didn’t feel seasick at all, and it was really pleasant arriving at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the water level was up to my waist, but it was very beautiful. We strolled around, took photos, and relaxed at a leisurely pace. There was plenty of time.
After that, we had a hamburger lunch! It was delicious, with freshly grilled patties. You could add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and more as you liked. Then we went sea turtle watching. I think we saw about ten turtles. They swam gracefully and occasionally popped their heads up for air. After that, snorkeling at a stunning spot! We visited several snorkeling points, and there were many fish. It was the first time I saw a sea turtle. A few groups spotted them, and since I wasn’t wearing a flotation jacket, I dove down a bit and saw them up close. It was amazing to swim alongside the turtles. (Of course, I think I was lucky…)
Snorkeling was also very enjoyable. The plan, which included the sandbar, lunch, sea turtles, and snorkeling, was very satisfying. Our guide, Yuki, was also a lot of fun and shared some movie filming stories, which made it enjoyable. I will definitely join this tour again next time. I highly recommend it!
*Put your belongings in a vinyl bag. Wear marine (water) shoes and bring extra towels from the hotel. Keep your phone around your neck. If possible, sitting on the outer side of the front deck allows for better views of the turtles. Make sure to apply sunscreen well. Drinks are included, so you don’t need too many, but having one for the trip or when you want to drink right away is necessary. Don’t forget to prepare a tip; around $20 to $25 per person is ideal. After the tour, we returned to the hotel by 4 PM, and then we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping.
3日くらい前一番初めのツアーが空いていなかったので、
このツアーに申し込み。バスで迎えに来てくれて、そこから船で移動
まったく、船酔いすることもなく、すごく、気持ちよくサンドバー到着。
あいにく腰下まで水位がありましたが、すごくきれい。
ぶらぶら歩いたり写真を撮ったりまったり、ゆっくり。十分な時間でした。
その後、ハンバーガーランチ!こちらも美味しい。ハンバーグも焼き立て。
トマト、オニオン、レタスなどもお好きに挟んで。という感じ。
その後、ウミガメウオッチング。
10匹は見えたと思います。優雅に泳いでたまに顔を水面に出してくれました。
その後シュノーケリングも最高にきれいなポイント!
いくつかシュノーケルポイントは行きましたが、魚も多く
ウミガメが見えたのは初めて。
数組の方が発見して、私は浮きのジャケットを着ていなかったので、少し潜ったら大きく見えました。さらに、カメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来て最高でした。
(もちろん、ラッキーだったと思いますが…)
シュノーケリングも十分楽しめます。サンドバー・ランチ・ウミガメ・シュノーケルと大満足のプランでした。案内してくださったYUKIさんもとても、
楽しい方で映画の撮影の紹介などもあり、楽しめました。
次に行くときもこのツアーに絶対参加します。お勧めです
※荷物はビニール素材のバックに入れて。靴はマリン(ウォーター)シューズ・タオルはホテルレンタル多めに。携帯は首にかけて。可能なら、前のデッキの外側に座れるとそのまま、カメがうまく見えます。日焼け止めはしっかり塗って。ドリンクはついているので、そんなにいらないが1本くらいは移動やすぐ飲みたいときに必要。チップを準備するのを忘れないで。一人、20ドルから25ドルくらいが理想です。
終了後も16時にホテルに戻りその後、十分にお買い物楽しめます。
Taking a taxi can be expensive and sometimes hard to catch, so this option is definitely more reliable. However, there are many customers and it visits a lot of hotels, so it does take time.
タクシーですと、高いしなかなか乗れないこともあるので、これでしたら確実です。ただお客さんは多いし、たくさんのホテルを回るので、時間はかかりますね。
It took about an hour and a half from Waikiki, but it was a very peaceful and relaxing ranch. The horseback riding options for preschoolers are limited, but this plan is very fulfilling. We were able to leisurely stroll through the vast grounds and even had designated photo time at various points. Along the way, we learned a lot about Hawaiian plants, how to care for horses, and how to give commands. At the end, we gave a thank-you carrot, brushed the horse, and took photos, making for a total experience of about 1 hour and 30 minutes. They kindly answered all of my daughter's many questions, and she fell in love with horseback riding. It felt like a personal English lesson while riding, which was a great deal. The entrance to the ranch is a bit tricky, but it was truly a wonderful place. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend it!
ワイキキから1時間半位かかりましたが、とてものどかでのんびり出来る牧場でした。未就学児でもできる乗馬は限られていますがこちらのプランはとても充実しています。広大な敷地をのんびり散策しながらポイントで止まって写真TIMEまで配慮してもらえました。道中ハワイの植物の事や、馬のお世話の仕方、指示の出し方等など深いお話が聞けました。最後にありがとうのニンジンをあげてブラッシング、写真撮影で終わりですが、トータル1:30は体験できました。娘の数々の質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ乗馬が大好きになりました。
乗馬をしながら英語の個人レッスンの様でとてもお得に感じてしまいました。
牧場に入る所が少しややこしいですが本当に素敵な場所でした。
お時間に余裕がある方は是非!!
Before leaving Japan, the weather forecast for the scheduled day predicted a 60% chance of rain. I called the organizing company two days prior, and they assured me that the event had never been canceled and that they had raincoats and ponchos prepared, so it would be fine. On the day itself, it did rain a little, but it wasn't significant, and I didn't mind much; my windbreaker was sufficient. By the second half of the day, it even cleared up.
The course was changed to the Lyon Arboretum instead of the Manoa Falls area, which was under construction. It was fun not only to learn about the plants but also to have unexpected experiences like picking and cracking open kukui nuts to eat.
日本を発つ前から予定日の天気予報は雨60%。2日前には主催会社に電話もしましたが、今まで中止になったことはなく、合羽やポンチョを用意しているから大丈夫との返事。当日は少し降りましたが大した雨ではなく、あまり気にもならず、着ていったウインドブレーカーで十分。後半は晴れてもきました。
コースはマノアの滝方面が工事で行けない代わりのライオン植物園でしたが、植物の説明だけでなく、ククイの実を拾って割って食べるなど、思いがけない体験もして楽しかったです。
It was a clear day, and both the sea and the mountains were beautiful. The shallowest area had water up to my knees, but it was surprisingly clear, like a different world.
I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't do the breaststroke, but I was able to move just by using my hands, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming up close.
The blueberry or chocolate muffins we received right after boarding, as well as the lunch, were delicious.
If I had to mention something, the driver was late compared to the meeting time, and he was distributing the schedule by wetting each piece of paper. Also, the changing area on the way to Kailua was in a public restroom with limited stalls, and since locals were using it too, it made us a bit rushed. However, at Būkimō, it was not crowded, and I was able to eat pancakes right away.
I also think it would be helpful if the tour included tips. I definitely want to join again during low tide next time.
当日は快晴で海だけでなく山もとても綺麗でした。一番浅い場所で膝ぐらいの水位でしたが、驚くほど透明で別世界の景色です。
シュノーケリングは、平泳ぎの足が出来ず心配でしたが、手をかくだけで進み、海亀の泳ぐ姿を間近でみれてテンションが上がりました。
乗船してすぐ頂くブルーベリーorチョコのマフィンもランチも美味しかったです。
強いて言うなら、行きのドライバーさんが集合時間より遅れて来たこと、車内で配るスケジュールを1枚ずつ唾を付けて配っていたこと、カイルアへ行く途中の着替えがどこかのトイレで個数も少なく、地元の方も使うので譲っていたら時間が…となり焦ったぐらいです。ブーキモは空いててすぐパンケーキを食べれました。
あと、ツアーがチップ込みだと助かるな〜と思います。次回は干潮の時にぜひ参加します。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sunny sandbar and Kailua. We also appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement, which we will share with our staff to enhance our services. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
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。晴天のサンドバー、そしてカイルアを満喫いただいたようでとても嬉しく思います。また改善点のご指摘もいただきありがとうございます。さらなるサービス向上のためにスタッフと共有させていただきます。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。
This was my first time in Hawaii, so I made a reservation based on information I found online. The communication regarding transportation was polite, and I received updates about the meeting location and time changes from the hotel. Women must wear rash guards, which also protect against the wind when boarding. For men, it's all about determination.
During our visit, we were comfortably picked up by a large tour bus. We stopped to use the restroom at the boat departure location. Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese people and the other more international. Personally, I preferred the international boat, but my family wanted to be on the one with mostly Japanese passengers. The energetic and thorough explanations from the staff really boosted our spirits.
At the sandbar, we borrowed goggles and snorkels to enter the water. It's essential to have a waterproof case for your smartphone, even if it's a cheap one from a dollar store. The water level was about waist to thigh deep, allowing us to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and play volleyball. It might be fun to bring a ball that doesn't get blown away easily.
For turtle watching, we moved from the sandbar and observed from the boat. We saw many turtles, which was exciting, but it was a bit difficult to take photos due to the distance.
Lunch consisted of hamburgers on the boat. If you line up early, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Since the portions are light, those with big appetites might want to bring something extra.
The captain's guitar performance was also a nice touch. For snorkeling around the coral, in addition to the snorkel, we borrowed life jackets and fins. If the staff can share some bread, you can feed the fish, which is sure to be a thrilling experience. You can swim around the coral and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends.
The weather was decent. Some members got stung by jellyfish, including my daughter, but we received medication and it was no problem. Please note that you cannot flush toilet paper on the boat. It's important to be considerate and keep it clean for everyone, but it might be tough for those who are very particular about cleanliness.
On the return bus, plastic covers were set on the seats. Even if you can't change clothes, there's no need to worry. (Remember to bring some cash to leave a tip when disembarking.)
Instead of worrying about "the weather not being perfect," "the jellyfish," or "the restroom situation," it's better to focus on enjoying what you can. If you can have a good time, the staff's spirits will lift too, making the experience even more enjoyable.
初ハワイなので、ネット情報を参考にして申し込みました。
送迎の連絡は丁寧で、迎えの場所及び時間の変更連絡はホテルにいただけました。女性はラッシュガードが必須。乗船時の風からも守ってくれます。男は気合です。
私たちの時は大きな観光バスでのお迎えにて快適に移動。ボート出航場所でトイレを済ませます。ボート乗船は参加人数が多く2隻に分乗。日本人ばかりのボートとインターナショナルなボートに分かれました。個人的にはインターナショナルが良かったのですが、家族の希望で日本人ばかりの船に。元気で丁寧な説明をいただき気分も盛り上がりました。
サンドバーでは、水中眼鏡とシュノーケルを借りて入水します。スマホは必ず100均のでいいので防水ケースに。腰~太ももくらいまで水位がありましたが、歩いたり、景色を楽しんだり、バレーを楽しんだり。風に飛ばされにくいボールなんかを持っていくと面白いかも。
ウミガメウォッチは、サンドバーから移動してボート上からウォッチします。たくさんのウミガメを見て盛り上がりますが、やや距離があるので写真におさめるのは困難です。
ランチは、船上でハンバーガーでした。早めに並ぶとゆっくり食べられます。軽めなので、大食漢の方は何か持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
船長(?)のギターの弾き語りもいい感じです。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングは、シュノーケルの他に、ライフジャケットとフィンを借りて入水します。もし、スタッフの方からパンを分けてもらえれば、魚への餌やりができます。魚の勢いに驚くこと必至。シュノーケリングでサンゴの周りを一周できます。きれいなサンゴを仲間と一緒に楽しめます。
お天気はまずまず。クラゲに刺されるメンバーもいて、娘もその被害に合いましたが薬をいただき問題なし。船上のトイレは紙を流すことができません。お互いのためにきれいに使う意識も大事ですが、潔癖症の方は厳しいかも。
帰りのバスの席にはビニールがセットされています。着替えることができなくても心配ありません。(下船時に気持ちをチップとして残すので、お金を忘れないように)
「天気がピーカンじゃない」とか「クラゲが~」とか「トイレが~」とか考えるよりも、楽しめることを楽しんだ者勝ちです。楽しそうに過ごせたら、スタッフの気持ちも上がって、もっと楽しく過ごせるかも。
This tour is highly recommended. Starting with the pick-up from the hotel to the check-in.
Our pilot was great. She had a lot of interesting information during the sightseeing flight.
It is important to buy the protective case for the mobile phone. A good investment.
**[Actual Experience Review]**
In Japan, you can't drive without a license, but it seems that in Hawaii, that's not necessary, so I ended up driving unexpectedly! There was a verbal explanation of the controls before we started, but since it was my first experience, there were moments when I couldn't make the turns in time and ended up throwing some people into the sea... However, the feeling of cutting through the wind was incredibly pleasant, and I was very satisfied!
**[What I Liked About This Tour]**
They took a considerable number of photos and videos for us. (There was a GoPro set up in front of the jet ski at the shop.) I don't remember how much we paid for it, but we didn't have cash on us, so after returning to the hotel, we arranged for online payment over the phone.
**[Advice for Future Participants]**
The splashes are intense, so even if you don't fall into the sea, you will definitely get wet. Also, both the driver and passengers need goggles, as the splashes make it hard to see ahead. I'm really glad I brought my goggles...
【実際に体験した感想】
日本では免許がないと運転させてくれませんが、ハワイでは必要ないようで
急きょ私が運転することになりました!
運転前に口頭での操作説明はありましたが、やはり初めての経験なので
カーブのタイミングで曲がりきれず海に放り出されている人も・・・
風を切る感覚がとても気持ち良くて私的には大満足でした!
【このツアーで気に入ったところ】
かなりの枚数の写真と動画を撮ってくださってました。
(水上バイクの前にお店設置のゴープロがありました。)
いくらで購入したのか覚えてませんが、私たちは現金を持ち合わせてなく
ホテルに帰ってから電話のやり取りでネット決済?していただきました。
【これから参加する人へのアドバイス】
水しぶきが激しいため海に落ちることはなくても確実に濡れます。
そして、運転者・同乗者ともにゴーグルがないと水しぶきで前が見えません。
ゴーグル持って行ってて本当によかった・・・
ありがとう!
Thank you!
Among the two female staff members at the reception, one spoke Japanese. The two male staff members who joined us on the boat only spoke English, but they were very energetic throughout the trip, using gestures to keep us entertained, so it was fine even if we didn't understand English.
On the day of the activity, there was a downpour in the morning, and the weather wasn't great. We went parasailing despite the boat rocking heavily. I regretted not taking motion sickness medication, thinking I would be fine since I had never felt seasick before...
While we were flying, it was okay, but when other groups were parasailing, the boat was rocking violently the whole time, which was the toughest part.
There were a total of five groups of customers, including us: three Japanese couples, one young foreign couple, and one elderly couple. One Japanese man was in a groggy state from start to finish, which was unfortunate...
The view of Hawaii's cityscape and Diamond Head from above while parasailing was amazing!!! This part was truly enjoyable!!
During the flight, the staff took photos for us. About 50 photos were saved to a memory card for $30. However, we were informed about this just before taking off, which felt a bit sudden.
"Photos for $30! What do you want to do?!"
"Y-yes!"
"YEAH! GO!"
...something like that. It would be better to decide in advance whether to say YES or NO. The purchased photos turned out very beautiful, and I was glad I bought them!
Parasailing was incredibly fun! However, I should not have overestimated my physical condition and should have taken motion sickness medication. Otherwise, like me, you might end up spending the afternoon sleeping in the hotel...
受付スタッフの女性2人のうち、1人は日本語の話せる方でした。
一緒に船に乗る男性スタッフ2人は英語オンリーでしたが、終始テンションが高くて(笑)身振り手振りで楽しませてくれたので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫でした。
当日は朝からスコールがあり、天気はイマイチ。沖に出て船が大きく揺れる中でパラセーリングを強行。
乗り物酔いをしたことなかったため、自分は大丈夫と思って酔い止めを飲んでいなかった事を後悔…
飛んでる最中は大丈夫でしたが、他のグループがパラセーリングをしている時はずーっと激しく揺れているのでそれが一番辛かったです。
お客さんは私たち含めて日本人カップル3組、外国人の若いカップル1組、老夫婦1組の計5組。
日本人の男性1人が最初から最後までグロッキー状態で可哀想でした…
パラセーリング中の、上から眺めるハワイの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドは最高!!!この時間は本当に楽しかったです!!
飛んでる最中はスタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれます。
約50枚をメモリーカードに入れて$30。
ただ、飛ぶ直前にその案内をされるので、今それ聞くの?って感じでした(笑)
「写真$30で買えるよ!どうする?!」
「い、いえーす!」
「YEAH!GO!」
…みたいな(笑)
あらかじめYESかNOか決めておいた方が良さそう。購入した写真はとても綺麗で、買ってよかったです!
パラセーリング凄く楽しかったです!
でも自分の体調を過信せず、素直に酔い止めを飲むべき。
でないと、私のようにその日の午後はホテルで寝て過ごすことになってしまいます…(笑)
We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.
The sandbar and snorkeling were both amazing. I think it can be enjoyed in any scenario, whether you're with a partner, colleagues, or family. I was moved to see sea turtles up close!
サンドバー、シュノーケリング共に最高でした。カップル、同僚、家族、どのパターンでも楽しめると思います。海カメを間近で見れて感動しました!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We aim to provide a tour that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and situations, so we are delighted to hear your kind words. We look forward to welcoming you back again.
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。どの年代、シチュエーションでも楽しんでいただけるツアーを目指しておりますので、お言葉嬉しく思います。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。
I used this service for a solo trip. I was a bit anxious because my arrival was delayed by 7 to 8 minutes, but I arrived at the airport safely, and the driver was cheerful and kind, which was great! I would like to use this service again next time.
今回一人旅で利用しました。到着が7~8分遅れ少し不安でしたが
無事空港まで到着し、運転手さんがにこやかで親切な方で良かったです!
次回も利用したいと思います。
We participated as a couple, and even without speaking any English, we had no problem enjoying ourselves! The staff, including the transportation team, were very friendly! For those who are a bit anxious, here are some recommendations:
1. If you're worried about the language barrier! The Google Translate app is very useful.
2. If you're concerned about getting seasick! I recommend BONINE (motion sickness medication), which is sold at ABC Store!
夫婦で参加しましたが、
英語全く喋れなくても
問題なく楽しめましたよ!
送迎の方も含め、とても気さくな方々
でした!
心配症な方へ、以下オススメですが
①それでも言葉の壁が心配な方!
グーグル翻訳のアプリ便利です
②船酔いしないか心配な方!
ABC ストアでも売っている
BONINE(酔い止め薬)がオススメ!
It was great to be dropped off at Ala Moana and make good use of the time until hotel check-in. However, I did think that taking a taxi might have been better when we had to wait quite a while at the airport for departure.
アラモアナで一旦降ろしてもらい、ホテルのチェックインまで時間を有効活用できたのはとても良かったです。
ただ空港で出発を結構待たされた時はやはりタクシーが良かったかなとも思いました。
I had a great time.
It was a one-hour electric-assist mountain bike tour, and the hour flew by.
The explanations were in English, but even if you don't understand English, you can get the gist from the video visuals.
Since it's electric, you can ride smoothly and it's really enjoyable.
However, the trails are steep, and because of the fast pace, it does require some stamina.
Aside from the biking, the waiting time after arriving at Kualoa Ranch and after the activity was quite long.
There is a souvenir shop, but we finished looking around sooner than expected, so we ended up napping on a bench.
I wish we could have used our time more effectively.
とても楽しかったです。
1時間コースの電動アシスト付きマウンテンバイクツアーでしたが、あっという間の1時間でした。
説明も英語ですが、英語が分からなくてもビデオの映像見ながらの説明なので何となくわかります。
電動だから爽快に走れるし気持ちいいです。
でも険しい道なこと、進んでいくスピードが速いから体力は使います。
自転車以外はクアロア牧場に到着してからと、アクティビティが終わってからの待ち時間がとても長かったです。
お土産のショップはありますが、案外すぐに見終わってしまうので、私たちはベンチで昼寝をしていました。
もっと時間を上手に使えたらよかったと思います。
Several acquaintances have had bicycle accidents in Hawaii, so I suspected that the front and rear brakes might be reversed compared to Japan, and I was right. In Japan, the right lever is for the front brake and the left lever is for the rear brake, but in Hawaii, it's the opposite. The key is to be very aware of that and to apply both brakes simultaneously.
However, the activity was fantastic! Next time, I want to try horseback riding!
知り合いが複数、ハワイで自転車転倒事故起こしているため、もしかしたら前輪後輪ブレーキが日本と逆ではないかと予想していたら、図星でした。日本では右→前輪、左→後輪ですが、ハワイは逆でした。ポイントはそこを強く意識しながら両方同時にブレーキ掛けることです。
でも、アクティビティは最高でした!こんどは乗馬にチャレンジしたいです!
I had a great time.
Billy and the driver explained many flowers and trees, and I was able to see Hawaiian culture.
It was very interesting.
The lunch was also delicious.
With Billy and the team from Nature & You, I would love to enjoy a tour around Hawaii next time.
とっても楽しかったです。
ビリーさんとドライバーさんの2人で
たくさんの花や木を説明してくれて、ハワイの文化も見れました。
とっても面白かったです。
お弁当も美味しかったです。
ネイチャー&ユーのビリーさん達のコンビで、次回はハワイ一周などを楽しみたいです。
The last time I have been to Pearl Harbor was when I was in 6th grade. During that time I had only visited the USS Missouri and the Arizona Memorial. This time around I got to visit the two plus the Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. It was an amazing experience to get to learn about the history of what had happened at Pearl Harbor and to get to see what life was like for sailors living on a boat. I definitely do not think I could survive life as a sailor and I have a whole new respect for the sailors who are out at sea for a long duration of time to protect our country. I do suggest that if you go on this tour on a sunny day, I would wear light clothes and bring sunglasses because it can get hot real fast and it is very bright. Inside the bus is very cold though so I would bring a jacket as well.
You read the description of the tour first and now you want to make sure it's worth it.... Sandbar, volleyball, basic but tasty lunch (charcoal grill), turtle and manta spotting, and then snorkeling a coral reef. Is this something you want to do, surrounded by natural beauty?
Stop reading reviews and book the trip.
We did this tour on a rainy, windy day in 2018 and loved it! We came back and did it again in December 2019 and had a warm, sunny day and lucked out with really good visibility. The coral reef is just that; when you're underwater the live corals extend much beyond what you can see. It's not just a single live colony every once in a while like Hanauma. Where one huge colony/color/texture ends, others begin. That's what I wanted to see and this tour lets you get plenty of time in the water. The crew is always enthusiastic about the experience, has lots of fun themselves, and is highly attentive to passengers. We'll absolutely be back for a 3rd time.
Mahalo Captain Bob's crew!
I traveled to participate in the Honolulu Marathon. Previously, I had to go to the hotel, where I might not be able to communicate in Japanese at the front desk, leave my suitcase, and then head to the convention center, which was quite a waste of time and stressful. This time, I decided to stop by the lounge at Ala Moana Center from the airport. At the lounge, I could communicate in Japanese while leaving my suitcase, and it was less than a 10-minute walk to the Hawaii Convention Center to pick up my race number. It was very efficient and worked out great.
ホノルルマラソンに参加するための旅行でしたが
これまでは、1度ホテルまで行って、日本語が通じないかもしれないホテルのフロントで、
スーツケースを預かってもらって、コンベンションセンターへって結構、時間のムダだし、
ストレスがあったので、今回は、この空港から、アラモアナセンターのラウンジに立ち寄りにしてみました。
ラウンジでスーツケースを預かってもらうのも日本語が通じるし、
ゼッケンを受け取りにハワイコンベンションセンターへは徒歩で10分足らず。
時間が効率的に使えてとってもよかったです。
I was glad that they accommodated last-minute reservations. We went to the airport via two hotels. The driver was very efficient, so it was very smooth, but since it was almost full, it took about an hour from the hotel to the airport. They asked each of us about our flights and dropped us off nearby, which was great. It was very helpful for us, as we didn't have cash, that we could pay by credit card in advance, including the tip. Thank you!
直前の予約にも対応しており、よかったです。
2ヶ所ほどのホテルを経由して、空港に行きました。運転手さんがテキパキしてたので、とてもスムーズでしたが、ほぼ満員での利用でしたのでホテルから空港まで1時間ほどかかりました。各自、利用する航空機を聞いて下さり、近くで下ろして下さるのでよかったです。
チップ込みでクレジット払いを事前にできますので、手持ちがなかった私たちにはとても助かりました。ありがとうございました!
On the day of the tour, the weather and temperature were unusually pleasant for the rainy season, surprising even the guide, and it wasn't cold at all when we entered the sea. The staff were friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. The water was shallow, reaching just below my waist, but I was able to see a variety of colorful tropical fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. Since I can swim, I would have liked to take off my life jacket and wear fins to dive a bit (though it might not have been safe). Overall, it was an amazing experience.
ツアー当日は、ガイドさんも驚くほどの雨期としては異例の天気と温度で、海に入っても全く寒くありませんでした。スタッフの方たちも気さくで大いに盛り上げてくれました。水深は浅いところで股下位でしたが、シュノーケリングでは色とりどりの熱帯魚やウミガメを見ることが出来ました。私は泳げるので出来たらライフジャケットを脱いでフィンをつけて潜ってみたかったです。
(安全面を考えると無理でしょうが)
とにかく最高の体験でした。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We were fortunate to have good weather! For your safety, we kindly ask that you always wear a life jacket. We apologize for any inconvenience. All of our staff 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。天候に恵まれて良かったです!ライフジャケットはお客様の安全上、必ず着用していただくようにお願いしております。申し訳ありません。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。
I really appreciated that they offered early morning transportation since I had an early flight. Perhaps because it was so early, I was the only passenger. Despite the bad weather, they arrived on time, and the driver was friendly and engaged with me, making the journey enjoyable even though I don't speak English well! Thank you for the smooth ride to the airport!
朝早いフライトでしたので早朝の送迎に対応しているのは本当に助かりました。
早朝だったからか私1人での乗車でした。
悪天候でしたが時間通りに来て下さり、
英語が話せない私にもドライバーさんは気さくに話しかけてくれ道中楽しかったです!
スムーズに空港まで送って下さりありがとうございます!
It was quite difficult to find a place that accepted last-minute reservations, but I was satisfied because the bus arrived at the meeting point on time without any confusion on the day.
直前に予約を取れるところが、なかなか無かったのですが 当日に混乱する事もなく時間通りに集合場所にバスも来たので満足でした。
The weather wasn't very good, and the water was a bit high and cold, but I had a great time! The snorkeling was beautiful, and I was satisfied to see fish and even a sea turtle! The hamburger was also very delicious. The staff were all wonderful, and I would like to participate again on a sunny day when I go back to Hawaii.
天気があまり良くなかった日で、水が高めで寒かったですが、、充分楽しめました!!
シュノーケリングも綺麗に魚が見え、ウミガメも見れたので満足です!
ハンバーガーもとっても美味しかったです☆
スタッフの方もみんな良い方でまたハワイに行く際は天気のいい日に参加したいと思います♡
