Oahu
The weather was nice, and sailing on the cobalt blue water was refreshing. We were cruising at about 10 knots, and since it was a catamaran, the ride was stable. I made a reservation in advance in Japan, and the information was accurately conveyed on-site.
天気も良くコバルトブルーの水面を帆走するのは爽快でした。10ノットほどの速度で疾走しますが、双胴船なので安定的な走りでした。日本での事前予約しましたが現地に正確に情報が伝わっていました。
I participated with half expectations, thinking that I might not definitely see dolphins, but I was moved to encounter so many dolphins. I was able to see both dolphins and turtles, and I thoroughly enjoyed the clear sea. I highly recommend this tour.
必ずイルカに会えるというものではないと期待半分で参加しましたが、たくさんのイルカたちに出会えて感動しました。イルカもカメも見られ、透明な海を満喫できました。このツアーはおすすめです。
Aloha, Saki,
Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. We are all very happy that you were able to experience something unique to Hawaii. We look forward to the day we can meet again.

Aloha, Saki様

Great tour, our driver ‘Captain Ron’ was great, very informative and someone who really loves his job! Pick up time was 07:30 so a bit later than other full day tours which we preferred too. Only issue was that we picked some people up from the airport coming from Maui who had missed their flight so had to wait for an hour, but Captain Ron kept us entertained and we still had plenty of time at each place.
Personally I loved the video and the boat trip around the Missouri but my husband loved the Aviation museum. Would definitely recommend this tour and plenty to see and do!
We were there as advised but waited a long time for others who were on their phones and then waited a long time for a shuttle bus to take us to Waikiki,
Parasailing lasts about 5 minutes. The view is amazing.
You will definitely get wet as you are dropped into the sea for photos. It's not scary.
If you're worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication.
I usually don't get seasick, but I felt completely nauseous.
It's fine while you're parasailing, but be careful as you might get seasick when other guests are parasailing.
There will be a camera shoot on the day. You can get around 70 photos for $30, and you'll also receive a 512MB SD card.
パラセーリングは約5分程度。景色最高。
写真撮影のために海に必ず落とされるので濡れる。怖くはない。
船酔いが心配な人は薬を服用した方がよい。
酔わない方だけど完璧に酔った。
パラセーリング中はよいが、ほかの客がパラセーリングしている時は船酔いする可能性があるので注意が必要。
当日カメラ撮影がある。$30で70枚弱撮ってもらえる。SDカード512mbごともらえる。
We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the lei is still looking well after a few days. Our greeter took pictures and it was a nice way to have anyone who visits Hawaii (especially for the first time). I was hoping for a fuller lei and I'm glad I got my friend the deluxe one since it I thought that it would have been fuller but the lei itself was not as full as I thought it would be. I would not be excited to see the less lei.
The greeter herself. was wonderful! She even offered us help with our bags and walked us to the baggage claim.
Aloha Diana! Thank you for taking the time to review your lei greeting! Your greeter, Marlyn, was happy to have assisted you and your friend. She did inform us of your dilemma, but I can confirm the Classic Orchid Lei was made as ordered. Hopefully the next time, we can provide you with the Deluxe Orchid Lei Greeting, or, we can also ship to lei nationwide. Please give us a call, and we will be more than happy to assist you! Have a wonderful vacation to the two of you!

I was picked up at the hotel on time, and after a quick check-in, we took a 10-minute boat ride to the jet ski location. After a brief explanation, I was able to ride at full speed and enjoy jet skiing to my heart's content while screaming with excitement. On the way back, I wanted to keep playing in the ocean, so I was dropped off at Waikiki Beach, which I really appreciated. I definitely want to join this tour again next time.
時間通りにホテルに迎えに来てもらえ、簡単な手続き後 ボートに10分くらい乗って ジェットスキーをする場所へ。
簡単な説明のあと、思う存分 フルスピードで走行し、絶叫を上げながら たっぷり ジェットスキーを楽しむことが出来ました。
帰りもこのまま、海で遊びたかったのでワイキキビーチのところでおろしてもらい、有り難かったです。
また次も是非 このツアーに参加したいと思います。
Thank you!
Mahalo!
In the end, I couldn't see anything at all, neither shadow nor figure. It seems like they tried their best, but... I received a ticket for the next boat ride, but since it was the last day of my trip, I couldn't use it. The boat was fairly large and not crowded, so I could go out on the deck or sit comfortably in a chair. It felt like a drive on the water in pleasant weather.
結局、何も影も姿も、見ることはできませんでした。
頑張ってくれたみたいですが・・。
次回乗船チケットをもらいましたが、旅行最終日だったので、使えませんでした。
船はそこそこ大きくて、満員でもないので、甲板に出たり、ゆったり椅子に座ったり。
気持ちのよい天気の中、船でドライブ、といった感じでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry to hear that you were unable to see any whales on the day of your participation.
If you have the opportunity, please come again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

機会がございましたら是非またお越しください。
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。

Amy was the perfect guide very knowledgeable and interesting so Kim and myself whould definitely recommend this tour
Avery big thank you to amy
I went horseback riding for two hours. The day I made the reservation was rainy, so I decided to go anyway, but with this weather, it would be good if I could ride for an hour. I was advised to consider another day, so I decided to ride on a different day.
I was helped by their efficient service.
Riding for two hours is quite intensive, so if you're not used to riding, you might worry about muscle soreness the next day.
However, I recommend it because you can see breathtaking views of the sea and mountains that you wouldn't normally get to see!
2時間の乗馬をしました。
予約した日は雨だったので行くだけ行ってみましたが、この天気だと1時間乗れれば良い方なので、他の日はどうでしょうかと勧められた為、別日に乗ることにしました。
手際よく対応していただけたので助かりました。
2時間の乗馬は結構みっちり乗るので、普段乗り慣れてない方だと翌日の筋肉痛が心配になるかもしれません。
ただ、海や山の景色については普段見ることが出来ないような絶景を見ることが出来るのでオススメします!
My wife and I, both in our forties, took our very first trip to Hawaii, and on the first night, we attended this show with VIP dinner seating. To sum up my feelings in one word: "a series of moving experiences."
First, the VIP dinner. I’m just an ordinary office worker, and participating in a dinner show from a VIP seat is something I’ve never experienced in Japan. It all started with a warm welcome, including a greeting from a star and a welcome drink, showcasing a touch of elegance. Next, we took our seats for dinner. The combination of lobster and tenderloin steak is something you wouldn’t find in Japan. The taste was also GOOD (I struggled a bit with cracking the unfamiliar lobster shell. There was one wet towel at our seat, but it wasn’t enough. My own wet towel came in handy).
Even from the general seating, you can see the performers' faces clearly. We chose the dinner option due to our anxiety about not knowing where to eat on our first day in Hawaii, but there are plenty of places to eat in the heart of Hawaii, and most have Japanese menus. So, for those who want to enjoy the show at a lower price, I think you can have a great time from the general seating without dinner.
The show was very much in line with America's reputation as an entertainment powerhouse. It mainly consisted of "hula dance," "fire dance," and "superstar" performances. While there are hula shows in Japan, the authentic experience is on another level. I could have watched it forever. The fire dance featured performers spinning sticks engulfed in flames with incredible speed, creating a whirlwind of emotion. And then there was the superstar, Michael Jackson, with his sharp dance moves. I never got to see him live, but this was more than enough to get us excited. I highly recommend this show for people of all ages.
アラフォー夫婦2人で人生初のハワイ旅行、その初日の夜にこのショーのディナーVIP席で参加しました。感想を一言で申せば「感動の連続」です。
先ずはディナー付VIP。私は一般的な会社員。ディナーショーをVIP席で参加など日本では未体験の領域です。スターの出迎え、ウェルカムドリンクなど洒落のきいたおもてなしから始まります。次に席に着いてディナー。ロブスター&テンダロインステーキという日本ではありえないコラボ。味もGOODでした(慣れないロブスターの殻割りに苦戦。濡れおしぼり1枚は席にありましたが、足りない。持参していたMY濡れおしぼりが活躍)
尚、一般席であっても演出者の顔がはっきりわかるくらいの近さです。私達は初のハワイ旅行初日で食事するところが解らないという不安からディナー付を選択しましたが、場所的にハワイの中心地で食べるところは沢山あり、日本語メニューが大多数なのでこのショーを格安で見たい方はディナーなしの一般席でも楽しめると思います。
ショーはエンターテイメント大国アメリカらしいものでした。主には「フラダンス」「ファイアーダンス」「スーパースター」で構成されています。日本でもフラショーはありますが、本場は一味違います。いつまでも見ていたい。ファイアーダンスは炎につつまれた棒を目に止まらぬ早業でくるくると回し、感動の渦でした。そしてスーパースター マイケルジャクソンのキレッキレのダンス、本人のライブには行けませんでしたが、これで十分に盛り上がることができました。老若男女問わずおすすめしたいショーです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The staff were very nice
Sand bar was beautiful but snorkel spot wasn’t clear water
After gathering at the harbor next to the Hilton, we set out to sea at full speed on a boat, and before we knew it, we were equipped and soaring into the sky. We had a 6-year-old child with us, but my wife and I were able to fly together with him. Up to a few meters high, the child was laughing, but as we rapidly ascended, his face stiffened and his voice trembled (laughs). We managed to encourage him (though we were scared too) and enjoyed the beautiful views of Honolulu. They take photos of you in the air, and you can purchase the SD card with those pictures. I think it was around $30. After the tour, they ask for tips. The atmosphere makes it hard to refuse, which raises some concerns. We reached 90 meters, which was quite a height. It became a wonderful memory.
ヒルトン横のハーバーに集合後、全速力のボートで沖に出て、あっという間に装置装着され、あっという間に大空に。
6歳の子連れでしたが、妻と合わせて3人で飛ぶことができました。
数mの高さまでは子供も笑っていましたが、そこから一気に上昇すると顔がこわばり声が震えてきました(笑)
なんとか励ましながら(こちらも怖かったのですが)ホノルルの美しい景色を眺めながら楽しむことができました。
空中の姿を写真に撮っていただけるので、そのSDカードは購入可能です。
確か30ドルだったかな。
ツアー終了後、チップをお願いされます。
断れない雰囲気になるので、それはいかがなものかと。
90mでしたが十分の高さでした。
いい思い出になりました。
The bus arrived five minutes early. It had a type of storage that occupied the left half of the interior for luggage, and this was my first time riding on one like this. The driver had a waist size that made me think he was a sumo wrestler, and he moved so slowly that I ended up having to carry my heavy suitcase inside by myself when returning home.
バスは5分前にやって来た。荷物を車内の左側半分を占める棚に置くタイプで、こんなのに乗ったのは初めて。
運転手は力士かと思うようなウェストサイズであまりに動きが遅く、帰国時に重くなったスーツケースを自分で車内に運び込むハメに。
Enjoyed the dinner buffet, would probably only recommend maybe a start time a little earlier like 3 p.m. This would allow everyone a chance to enjoy to cruise during daylight before the dinner start.
We arrived an hour early, but we could get our transport right away. roberts checks arrival time based on flight number. driver is accomodating, very nice and a safe driver.
It was amazing to participate on a day of clear skies, as if the thunderstorm from the previous day was a lie. The sea was a bit murky due to the rain, but it was no problem for snorkeling at all. I was surprised that it felt a bit cold after getting out of the water, even though it was sunny. On the way back, thanks to the captain's arrangement, we searched for sea turtles in the bay. Luckily, we spotted a mother and her baby! The scenery was also fantastic. Next time, I want to join when the sandbar is exposed by calculating the high and low tides. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was at a comfortable temperature, which was great.
前日のサンダーストームが嘘のような快晴の日に参加できて最高でした
ちょっと海が雨の影響で濁っていましたがシュノーケリングには全く問題なし
海からあがると快晴でもちょっと寒かったのは意外でした
帰路では船長の計らいで湾内でウミガメ捜索ー
ラッキーにも親子?二頭を発見‼️
景色も最高ーでした
次は満潮干潮を計算してサンドバーが露出しているタイミングで参加したいと思いました
あと送迎のバスの冷房が適温でよかったです
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. The clear skies in Hawaii after a thunderstorm or rain are truly beautiful, aren't they? The sandbar is a mysterious space created by the combination of natural conditions. I hope to encounter a different, beautiful sandbar next time. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただいてありがとうございました。
サンダーストームとか雨のあとのハワイの快晴ってほんと〜〜〜に綺麗ですよね!!
サンドバーは自然条件が重なり合っておりなす不思議な空間。また次回は違った表情の美しいサンドバーに出会えますように。マハロ!
I was satisfied to learn about the history and connections through the dances of the Pacific Islands. The fire dance was truly impressive!
太平洋の島々の踊りを通じて、歴史、繋がりを知ることが出来て満足しました。ファイヤーダンスは見応え十分です!
no agent to advise where to go. Had a 45 min wait. Paid for guaranteed express, was transported on a large bus with large groups.
Driver was friendly and helpful.
On the second day in Hawaii, we received a call from the hotel that our plans were canceled due to a storm. We had the option to change our plans for the next day or get a refund, but I really wanted to participate in parasailing, which I was looking forward to the most, so I changed the schedule to the next day. Thank you for your quick response to the sudden change.
The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms, and I was half resigned to it, but the next day, to my surprise, it was clear skies! According to the bus driver, the captain of the boat that day was the number one captain! The weather was perfect! He said we were lucky (^ ^)♩
The tour guides only spoke English, but all five groups were Japanese couples, which made it comfortable. I had a great time chatting with a couple from Kansai, thank you! I hope the photos I took catch their eye (^ν^)☆
The scenery was beautiful, and I felt no fear at all. I even had the leisure to chat and take videos while flying! The driver called us a crazy couple… (laughs) I personally got a bit nauseous even after taking motion sickness medication, so it's essential to take it.
We tipped $20 for the two of us. I mentioned that we would buy the photos in advance, and it was $30 for 70 photos, paid by credit card for $35!
On the way back, we received flower hair clips and juice! Thank you to the cute and cheerful driver for the fun (^ ^)
This time we did 120 meters, but I want to challenge 150 meters next time! Thank you, Veltra, for your prompt response and the staff for creating wonderful memories! Sorry for the long message. (laughs)
ハワイに来て2日目、朝から暴風のため中止の電話がホテルに入りました。
次の日の変更、またはキャンセル返金と選べましたが一番に楽しみにしていたパラセーリングにどうしても参加したく、予定を変更し次の日にしてもらいました。急な変更にも迅速に対応して下さいましたありがとうございます。
天気予報では雷雨、半分なかば諦めていましたが次の日、起きてみてびっくり晴天!!
バスの運転手さんいわく今日の船の運転手さんはナンバーワンキャプテン!天気もパーフェクト!ラッキーだねと言っていました(^ ^)♩
添乗員さん方は英語しか話せませんでしたが5組
全員が日本人で皆さん夫婦で気持ちも楽でした☆関西から来られた方と仲良く話せてとても楽しかったですありがとうございます!写真撮っていたので目に入るといいなー(^ν^)☆
景色もよく、怖いという感覚もゼロ。飛びながら喋ったり、動画を撮る余裕もありました!運転手さんにクレイジーカップルだねと言われましたが…(笑)
あと私自身もですが酔い止めを飲んでも少し酔ったので酔い止め必須です。
チップは2人で20$払いました。写真はあらかじめ買いますと伝えて、70枚で30$、クレジットで払って35$でした!
帰りのバスでお花の髪留めとジュースをもらいました!可愛くておちゃめな運転手さん、楽しませてくれてありがとう(^ ^)
今回は120メートルでしたが次は150に挑戦したいです!!ベルトラさん、迅速な対応とスタッフさん方最高な思い出となりましたありがとうございました!長文すみません。笑
This was a super and well worth it tour. We had the Missouri in Washington state for many years and it was so great to see what a wonderful job Hawaii has done in taking care of this part of history. I learned so much history I didn't know about this war and these ships. The tour driver we had was one of the most knowledgeable ones I'd ever had he told us a lot of info we didn't learn on the tour. Not sure how to spell his name Kaleo I think. I would love to do it again as there was so much to learn.
When I arrived in Hawaii, I wasn't really sure where I was. The transfer was standard. I don't have any particular memories. The ride wasn't very comfortable.
ハワイに着いた時、どこにいるのか良くわからなかったです。
普通の送迎でした。特に思い出はないです。乗り心地はあまり良くなかったです。
I had a good time and the staff was really friendly. The pictures and videos they take of you are cool but a bit on the pricey side, especially because we are from Canada and it’s more expensive than USD. They provided us with chips and water which was ok but I give them a 5 star because of how nice they were. Overall it was fun.
It was great taking this tour with our toddler. It was my second time to make it to Kaneohe SandBar. My first on Captain's Bobs boat. The Crew was great and even though your sharing the tour with everyone else on the boat It didn't feel cramp at all. It was great to share the experience with other guest.
The food was good too. Most of my friends and I went in for seconds for sure.
The Sandbar experience was great too, even though there were jellyfishes on the water the crew was very good about keeping us informed on where to not go so that we can prevent from getting stung by the jellyfishes.
While we were on the tour it rained but that's Hawaii for you. If anything it made the experience that much better:)
I reserved a ticket because it was highly recommended in Sho Aikawa's book, and I thought, really?? But just as my brother said, it was great!! As soon as I entered the store, a lively Elvis greeted us with a pose. The high level of Elvis's singing, MJ's dancing, the beautiful and fun hula, the impressive fire dance, and the excitement when Elvis came down to the audience to drape leis and scarves over us created a fantastic atmosphere; the hour flew by. Just as Sho Aikawa wrote, I enjoyed a wonderful show. I will definitely go again when I come back to Hawaii!
哀川翔さんの本で、熱く推薦されていたので、ほんと??と思いながら予約しましたが、兄貴のいうとおり、よかった!!です。お店にはいるや、ギンギンのエルビスがポーズを決めてお出迎え。エルビスの歌唱力の高さ、MJのダンス、フラの美しく楽しい事、ファイアダンスの見事なこと、また、エルビスが客席に降りてきてレイやスカーフをかけてくれるサービスには歓声があがって、大盛り上がり、1時間はあっという間でした。哀川翔さんの書いている通り、素敵なショーを楽しませていただきました。またハワイに来たら行きます!
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The staff's response was very good, but it was a downside that we had to wait at the individual exit after getting on the bus from the group exit.
スタッフの方々の対応はとても良かったですが、団体出口からバスに乗ってから個人出口の所で待たされたのがマイナスです。
When I went (at the end of October), the day before had rain, so the water quality was a bit murky, and the water level was below waist height, which wasn't the best situation. However, this is just a matter of luck, so I would like to try again. The crew was wonderful and made me feel that way. My 0-year-old (11-month-old) son also seemed to really enjoy himself, even just at the sandbar!
私が行った時(10月終わり)は前日が雨で水質が少々濁り、水位も腰より下ら辺で、本来のベストな状況ではありませんでした。しかしこればかりは時の運ですので、またチャレンジしたいと思います。そう思わせてくれるような素敵なクルーでした。0歳(11ヶ月)の息子もサンドバーだけでしたがとっても楽しんでくれている様子でした♪
The catamaran is so clean and has a bar onboard. The staff is amazing and everyone made us feel comfortable and ready for snorkling.
I was totally surprised to see that there were so many! Although it's early in the morning, the saying "the early bird catches the worm" is definitely true! It's absolutely worth going! This experience can't be had in Japan!
まさかあんないるなんて‼︎っていう感じでした‼︎
朝は早いけど、リアルガチで早起きは三文の徳‼︎
行く価値ありまくり‼︎この体験は日本じゃ出来ませんね‼︎
We participated in the VIP+ Backstage Tour. There were only the two of us on this course! It was a fun and unique experience that gave us a sense of superiority. The delicious cocktails and lobster were amazing! The main dishes—steak, salmon, and truffle potatoes—were all delicious! Unfortunately, since we are not from the Elvis generation, there were many photos of Michael Jackson instead. We enjoyed it from the front row, center seats. The Hawaiian female singer, female dancers, and male dancers were impressive! The dining staff also engaged with us. It felt great. The first photo taken with Elvis was included (which costs 2500 yen if you don't participate in the backstage tour), so it was definitely worth the price.
VIP+バックステージツアーに参加。このコース参加は我々夫婦二人だけ!未体験の初体験で優越感もあって楽しかったです。美味しいカクテル、ロブスター美味しい!メインのステーキ、サーモン、トリュフポテト、全部美味しい!残念ながら、エルビス世代ではないので、やっぱり、マイケル・ジャクソンの写真撮影多数。一番前の中央かぶりつきシートで堪能しました。ハワイアンも女性シンガー、女性ダンサー、男性ダンサー、迫力有り!食事のスタッフも声をかけてくれます。いい感じです。最初にエルビスと撮った写真が含まれていて(バックツアー参加してないと2500円)、価格的には充分な価値有ります。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、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、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
