サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでのプライベート時間<6名まで/日本語クルー>

It was a fun time! 楽しい時間でした!

Reviewed by: さーや

I encountered many sea turtles. The weather was nice, but the tide was a bit high (I participated with this understanding in advance), so it didn't go as smoothly as in the photos, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in the clear sea. We were able to take a leisurely break on the boat, and there were drink services, which matched our pace nicely. Above all, the guides were kind and wonderful!

たくさんのウミガメに出会えました。
お天気は良かったのですが潮位が高めで(事前に理解の上で参加)写真のようにはいきませんでしたが、透明な海でサップ、シュノーケリングを楽しめました。
船でゆっくり休憩もできて飲み物などのサービスもあり私達のペースに寄り添っていただいたのがよかったです。何よりガイドの方々が親切で素敵でした!

We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review despite your busy schedule.

The high encounter rate with sea turtles is one of the great attractions of our sandbar tours.
We aim for our tours to become one of the wonderful memories of your trip to Hawaii, so we are very pleased to hear that you felt we "accompanied you at your own pace."

We are constantly improving to ensure that everyone can enjoy snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding safely, and to provide a comfortable experience during the tour, so please come back again.

Reviewed by: choco

The sandbar is very beautiful, and you can also meet sea turtles. You can enjoy both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. We opted for a private boat rental plan, but before COVID, it included lunch, which is no longer the case now.

Thank you very much for using Captain Bruce's private boat charter plan. We are truly grateful to hear that you referred to it as your "favorite tour."
Thank you for sharing your review.
The beauty of the scenery at Kaneohe Bay Sandbar and the relatively high chance of encountering sea turtles are some of the attractions of our tour. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding as well.
Regarding the meals, we have had to revise our offerings since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we currently provide snacks and spam musubi. We offer cold beverages such as juice, soda, and mineral water, as well as hot drinks like coffee, tea, and cocoa. Additionally, you are welcome to bring your preferred food and drinks, including canned alcohol, and you can use the cooler on board.

We will continue to improve our tours to ensure our customers are happy, so please come back again. We sincerely look forward to the day we meet again.

The best memories with my grandparents. 祖父母との最高の思い出

Reviewed by: かなみ

I was able to enjoy the tour with staff members and the captain who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Both of them were supportive throughout, helping a lot to ensure that my grandmother and my 0-year-old son could have fun.

Thanks to their gentle guidance, my grandmother, who has a chronic illness that makes it difficult for her to move her arms and legs, was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. She said this experience was her best memory. We also encountered many turtles!

In the end, I forgot to give a tip! I'm thinking of ways to somehow give it to them... that's the only regret I have. I'm sorry for not giving it (cry).

I would love to use your services again! Thank you so much for everything!

日本語が話せるスタッフさんとキャプテンとご一緒することができ、安心してツアーを満喫することができました。
お二人とも終始サポーティブで、おばあちゃんや0歳の息子が楽しめるよう、たくさん手伝っていただきました。
特に、持病から手足が動かしづらいおばあちゃんにも優しくガイドしていただいたお陰様で、おばあちゃんもシュノーケリングやサップなどを楽しむことができました。
おばあちゃんは、この体験が一番の思い出だと言っていました。
カメさんにもたくさん遭遇することができました!

最後、チップをお渡しするのを忘れてしまいました!!
どうにかお渡しする方法がないか考えています、、これだけが心残りです、、。お渡しせずにすみませんでした(泣)

また利用させていただきたいです!
この度は本当にありがとうございました!

It was truly the best! 本当に最高でした!

Reviewed by: カオリ

I used a private speedboat. The first half had bad weather and it rained, but thanks to Captain Kekko's consideration, we were able to spend our time comfortably. The weather improved in the second half, and we enjoyed snorkeling, making it a fantastic experience. I would like to use this service again.
P.S. I think choosing the right season is important. The low ratings are mostly in March.

Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable, and it's not uncommon for it to suddenly rain even when it seems sunny during the tour. That's why our staff prays every day, "May the weather be nice!"

The Paradise Ocean offers different scenery depending on the month and the weather, so we would be delighted if you could join us again. Captain and crew are looking forward to seeing you!

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: ますこ

Since we had a large group, mostly consisting of people in their 60s and above, we decided to rent a private boat. It was great to be able to do things at our own pace. The captain was cheerful and charming, which made the experience very enjoyable. Although some members of our group didn't understand any English, it was very helpful that they used simple words. Even though it was a private boat, there were other participants nearby, and having Japanese staff made us feel at ease. The spam onigiri that was provided as a snack was delicious.

大人数で、60代以上が多かったので思い切って貸切ボートにしました。色々とマイペースにできてよかったです。船長さんも明るく可愛いかたでとても楽しめました。英語は少しもわからないメンバーでしたが、簡単な単語を使ってくれてとても助かりました。貸切ボートといっても、アクティビティは他の参加者さんもちかくにいるので、日本人スタッフもいて安心できました。 
スナックで置いてあったスパムおにぎりが美味しかったです。

I was able to fully enjoy the heavenly sea. 天国の海を満喫出来ました

Reviewed by: ジヨーシャマン

I participated in a group boat tour 10 years ago. It was such a great memory that I initially hoped to join a group boat again this time, but it was sold out a week before the tour. Since I really wanted to go, I reserved a private boat. Of course, it was more expensive, but it was worth it.

• Since it was a speedboat, we could get to the location faster than the group boat, and we were able to play for about an extra hour after the group boat had left.
• They prioritized letting us use the stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and other equipment, so we could play as much as we wanted. That feeling of being prioritized was incredible.
• A professional Japanese guide accompanied us, sharing information about the tour, Hawaii, and the pandemic. They played with us beforehand like a member of the family.
• They took care of arrangements for the restroom after landing and monitored our rental car.

Of course, the beauty of the sandbar was amazing, but I’m really glad I chose the private boat.

10年前に団体ボートで参加しました。良い思い出だったので、今回も団体ボートを最初は希望したのですが、ツアー開催の1週間前でSOLDOUT。どうしても行きたかったので貸切ボートを予約しました。もちろん費用は高かったですが、それ以上の価値はありました。
•高速ボートなので、団体ボートよりも早く現地に行けて、帰りも団体ボートが帰ったあとも遊べたので1時間くらいは追加で遊べた気がする。
•SAP、シュノーケル、遊具等優先して使わせてくれるので遊び放題。その優遇感はハンパない。
•日本人のプロのアテンドが付くので、このツアーのことはもちろん、ハワイのこと、パンデミックのこと教えてくれる。家族の一員みたいに事前に一緒に遊んでくれる。
•着岸後のトイレの手配とか、レンタカーの見守りとか、やってくれる。
もちろん、サンドバーの美しさは素晴らしかったですが、貸切ボートにして本当に良かったです。

Incredible Time

Reviewed by: Tom

Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!!

I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so attentive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end.

My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing.

10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.

We experienced a sandbar tour with Captain Bruce on a private boat. The weather forecast predicted bad weather, but it only rained a little, and the sea was beautiful!!

The drinks and spam were delicious! Since we went with three generations, it was great to have a private boat!

Royal Hawaiian Catamaran Private Charter - Waikiki Snorkel Sail

Amazing views and service!! Would definitely do it again

Reviewed by: jumpingjellyfish

We booked a 2 hour sail for a bachelorette. When we got there, they mentioned the 2 hour option didn't allow swimming (the 3 hour did!). However, when they saw that we had come prepared with floaties, they accommodated us to ensure we could go swimming and use what we brought for our 2 hour sail! We never felt pressured to extend our sailing time at all - in the end, we ended up extending it to 3 hours anyways with no regrets at all.

The crew took such great care of us - they made sure our cups were never empty and took all the group photos we wanted, even from multiple angles unprompted! Some of us went diving with the crew members, and they happily pointed out all the sea creatures so we wouldn't miss it! They even took beautiful drone photos and sent them our way afterwards.

It became one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely book again.

Private Kaneohe Sandbar Pontoon Boat Rental with Snorkel & Paddle - Captain Bruce

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: ADu

This private snorkel tour was 100% worth the money. A private pontoon boat with many amenities, including snacks, drinking water, water sport toys and others were all provided. Captain Kokua could not have been friendlier and showed us a lot to see in the area. The sandbar of course was beautiful and a huge highlight of the trip.

Awesome experience!

Reviewed by: Michelle

Took 5 friends out with me to experience the sandbar for the first time! We had such a blast! Yuko was our captain and she was the absolute best! Some snacks and drinks were provided, you can BYOB. Floaties, snorkel gear, and a paddleboard were offered. The sandbar was beautiful! Highly recommend this to anyone!

Captain Jason is the best! ❣ キャプテンJason最高❣

Reviewed by: Noripie

The guidance to the sandbar and snorkeling points was accurate, and we were able to see many sea turtles up close. They taught each of us how to paddleboard very carefully, and even though it was our first experience, we had a lot of fun.

サンドバーやシュノーケリングポイントへの案内も的確でウミガメも近くで沢山観ることが出来ました
SUPも初心者の私達に一人一人とても丁寧に教えてくれて、初体験でしたがとても楽しめました

Haleiwa Turtle Snorkel Cruise - North Shore Ocean Safari [Summer Season Only]

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Yunah

We made a last minute reservation for this morning snorkeling cruise and it was much better than I had expected! I went with my sister and my guide gave us an excellent tour around the north shore with his boat. My guide was wonderful & friendly, and he was kind to offer us water, towels and of course snorkel gears. He took us to a coral reef to snorkel where we saw a bunch of fish and we even saw a turtle at the end of the trip! I would definitely go again!

great time!

Reviewed by: Lacey

My family and I had such a wonderful experience! Captain Chris was awesome, so kind and found us a 14 foot tiger shark. It was so awesome. Then when we went snorkeling, we ran into an eel and lots of fish. It was a great morning and I recommend!
