You can enjoy a luxurious experience of listening to stylish music while sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the ocean! Since we were the only Japanese people there, we were able to fully savor the trendy atmosphere from abroad! Although the staff didn't seem to speak Japanese, they were all very kind and attentive, checking in on drink refills, so even those who aren't confident in their English can have a great time!

I thought it was very enjoyable and a great experience, but it was shorter than the promised time, and I was disappointed that we were instructed to get off without any warning, as the next group was boarding immediately. It felt like it ended abruptly.
とても楽しくて体験できて良かったと思いますが、提示の時間より短くて、予告もなく降りるように指示され直ぐに次のグループが乗り込む感じだったのが残念でした。急に呆気なく終わった感じでした。
Outrigger canoe surfing allows you to ride the waves three times. Depending on the condition of the waves, the duration is about 20 minutes at the shortest. Next time, I recommend a one-hour "canoe charter."

The granddaughters thoroughly enjoyed the shows featuring Hawaiian dance, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and more! The reason is that Elvis appears in the animated movie Lilo & Stitch, which is currently very popular among kids, and many of his songs are featured in the film. So, the 6-year-old and 3-year-old granddaughters were overjoyed to see an Elvis impersonator right in front of them. Of course, the hula dance was also wonderful! This event was great! Thank you very much.
ハワイアンダンス、プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン等々のショーを堪能して、孫娘2人は、大満足でした!
その理由は、今、ちびっ子の間で、大人気のリロ&ステッチのアニメ映画の中に、プレスリーが出ているし、プレスリーの歌う曲が映画の中にいっぱいでているんです。だから、6才と3才の孫たちは、そのプレスリーのそっくりさんが目の前に出てきて、大喜びでした。
勿論、フラダンスも素晴らしかったですよ!本企画、良かったです!ありがとうございました。

Skydiving was something I had always wanted to try. As soon as my trip to Hawaii was confirmed, I signed up right away. I chose the 8 AM slot because I read in a review that "if the previous flight is delayed, it can get late in the afternoon." I gathered at 6:40 AM. I had checked the meeting place a few days prior and arrived 15 minutes early. The bus arrived about five minutes later. It has the "GO JUMP" logo, so it's easy to spot.
There were 11 people on the bus, including five Japanese. After getting off the bus, we entered the waiver on an iPad. We consulted with each other and managed to complete it without any issues. We paired up with an instructor, and about four pairs at a time boarded the Cessna.
It seemed like there was only one Cessna, so the second group boarded after the first group came down. I was in the third group because I was slow with the iPad input. It took about an hour and a half from getting off the bus to boarding the Cessna.
The time spent on the Cessna was the most nerve-wracking. Once you jump out, the breathtaking views of the ocean and mountains completely erase any fear. The moment the parachute opens, you go up a bit, which makes you go "wow," but after that, you float down gently. Occasionally, the instructor would maneuver and spin us around, which was both scary and fun.
On the way back, my friend picked me up in a rental car, so I was able to get a shot of my landing. In the end, being in the third group turned out to be a good thing.
一度はしてみたかったスカイダイビング。ハワイ行きが決まってすぐに申し込みました。
「午後は前の便がおすと遅くなることもある」と体験談にあったので、8時便に。6時40分集合でした。集合場所は数日前に下見をしておき、15分前に到着。その5分後にバスも来ました。「GO JUNMP」のロゴが書いてあるので、すぐに分かります。
バスには日本人5名を含む11名が乗車。バスを降りてiPadで免責同意書を入力します。日本人同士で相談しあって、無事に入力。
インストラクターと2人1組で4組ずつくらいがセスナに乗ります。
セスナは1台のようで、1番目の組が降りてきてから2番目の組が乗り込む感じです。私はiPadの入力が遅かったので3組目。
バスを降りてから、セスナに乗るまで1時間半くらいかかりました。
セスナに乗ってる時間が一番緊張します。セスナから飛び降りてしまえば、海と山の景色の素晴らしさで恐怖心は全くないです。
パラシュートを開く瞬間が一度上に上がるので、「うわっ」と思いますが、その後は、ふわふわと降りていきます。
時折、インストラクターが操作してクルクル回ってくれて、怖楽しかったです。
帰りはレンタカーで友人が迎えに来てくれていたので、ちょうど、降りてくるのを撮影してもらえました。結果的に3組目で良かったです。
There was a Japanese person at the reception. Payment for fuel is $15 (card accepted), and a cash tip for the instructor is required when finished. I paid $20.

I visited Kualoa Ranch for the first time. I was satisfied with the two-hour horseback riding experience and the ample time spent there. However, I had a lot of concerns. First, there were no Japanese-speaking staff, and I wasn't quite sure how to use the locked lockers, so I ended up leaving my things in a regular storage area. Fortunately, I was wearing a jacket with zippered pockets, so I could at least keep my wallet safe. I was anxious because all the safety instructions for riding were in English, but the horses were well-behaved and not scary at all. I wish there had been signs and videos in Japanese. Well, it's my fault for not understanding English...
I was looking forward to seeing the movie filming locations, but there were none at all, and I just walked along the mountain paths. It's disappointing.

Playing in the sea at Angel's Beach. Unfortunately, when I went, the tide was not low, and it was quite deep. However, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The strong point here is that there are Japanese staff members and many staff who can understand Japanese. Since many of the tour participants are Japanese, I definitely recommend it if that makes you feel more comfortable.

The voucher issued states that the check-in location is "Hilton Hawaiian Village - Mid-Pacific Conference Center Rooftop." I heard that seating is on a first-come, first-served basis, so I planned to arrive early and wait on the rooftop for a good seat. However, even after the scheduled time, no reception staff or anyone else showed up, and the local contact number was unreachable as the business hours had ended. In the end, I just had to go down to the venue and check in directly after the scheduled time. Unfortunately, I ended up at the back of the line and couldn't get a good seat, which was very disappointing. The luau show itself was good.

On July 19th, during our trip to Hawaii, my family and I (a party of 12) attended the Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula. Unfortunately, it was one of the most disappointing experiences of our trip.
From the start, the event felt more like a tourist trap than a cultural celebration. The performers wore plastic grass skirts and danced on astroturf, which cheapened the experience and made it feel like a stylized imitation rather than a tribute to Hawaiian tradition.
The buffet was just as underwhelming. The meats were dry and chewy, and several of us left our meals half-eaten. We all ended up searching for food elsewhere after the show.
When purchasing tickets, we noted that they included premier seating for the show—something we specifically chose so the younger members of our group could engage and see the performance clearly. However, we were seated near the back with no explanation. The seating appeared entirely random, and there was no effort to honor the premier designation.
The show itself was bizarre. It was supposedly a journey through Hawaiian music and culture, but the execution was confusing. While we expected an Elvis tribute, it felt like a full concert with song after song. Then came a Michael Jackson impersonator performing Thriller and several other full-length songs. We learned during the show that he once performed at Aloha Stadium, but the connection felt forced and irrelevant. A few of us dozed off, while others sat in disbelief trying to make sense of it.
The performance dragged on far too long. With a tighter runtime and focus on authentic Hawaiian culture, it could have been enjoyable. The fire dancer was the highlight, but came too late to redeem the evening.
Overall, this luau was inauthentic, overpriced, and not worth it. We wouldn’t recommend it.

The tour wasn't bad, but I was disappointed because the sandbar was "not what I expected‼️" I thought we would be able to land on a sandy beach, but there was none at all... We only stood in shallow water. Even though I could have tolerated water up to my ankles, it was actually deep enough to submerge me to my chest, so it felt like I was dropped into the sea 😭 I wanted to walk on the sandy beach, and to be more specific, I wanted to sit on the beach and eat a hamburger 💧 Eating a hamburger on a crowded boat... 💧 I can't even remember if it was delicious because I was so concerned about my surroundings.

Since I was planning to head towards Kailua in the afternoon, I didn't arrange for a shuttle and used the city bus instead. I obtained a prepaid card called Holo Card, which is exclusive to city buses, before heading to the location. (At ABC, only one-day passes are sold, so it's better to purchase a rechargeable card at places like Seven-Eleven.) The city bus is used frequently during the trip, so it's preferable to get it on the first day. The bus arrived almost on time, but the air conditioning was strong, so a light jacket is necessary. The bus fare is quite reasonable at a daily maximum of $7.50 compared to other transportation options, making it recommended for those looking to save money. I feel that a taxi would cost around $50 to $60? In Hawaii, prices fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. Route searches can be done easily with Google Maps. I also used an app called DaBus2, but it seemed a bit difficult to use.
At the location, a Japanese guide (a local) provided explanations in Japanese, and although it was somewhat broken, it was understandable. There were a few Japanese tourists as well, so I think it's manageable even if you don't understand everything. You need to bring a copy of the consent form in advance, but even if you forget, they have it prepared there, so you can just head to the location without worry.
The sandbar was deep enough that when an adult (170 cm) stood, the water came up to just above their chest. I think it would be fine if the sun is out, but it can be a bit chilly, so having a rash guard would be reassuring.
During the round trip from He'eia Harbor to the sandbar, there were light snacks (donuts) and drinks (water, orange juice), and the performance by the two male musicians was quite good.
I would definitely like to use this plan again when I visit Hawaii.
午後にカイルア方面へ向かう予定だったため送迎はつけず、市バスを利用した。事前に市バス限定のプリペイド式決済カードのHoloカードを入手し、現地へ向かった。(ABCだと1日乗車券のみの販売だけなので、セブンイレブン等でチャージ式のを購入すると良い)。市バスは旅行中に利用する頻度が高いので、初日に入手が好ましい。バスはほぼ時間通りに到着したが、車内は冷房が効いており羽織るものが必要。バスは1日上限7.5$と他交通機関と比較するとかなり割安なため、節約したい方にはおすすめ。感覚ですがタクシーでも5〜60$くらい?ハワイは需供で料金の変動が激しい印象。経路検索はGoogleマップだけで問題なし。DaBus2というアプリも併用したが、やや使いづらい印象。
現地では日本語ガイド(現地の方)が日本語にて説明して下さり、カタコトではあったが十分理解可能。日本人観光客も何組かおり、分からなくてもなんとかなると思います。事前に同意書のコピーを持参する必要があるが、忘れても向こうで用意してあるので最悪そのまま現地に向かえば大丈夫です。
サンドバーは大人(170cm)が立つと胸から上が水面から出る程度の深さでした。日差しがあれば大丈夫だと思うが、やや肌寒いので、ラッシュガードがあれば安心。
ヘエイア港からサンドバーまでの往復の間、軽食(ドーナツ)、水分(水、オレンジジュース)があり、男性2人組の演奏がかなり良かったです。

I participated in the sandbar tour that I had been curious about for a while. There was a slight breeze, but the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the shallow sea was very beautiful. While snorkeling, I was pleasantly surprised when a sea turtle came close to me.

シュノーケリングしている時に、いつの間にかウミガメが近くまで来てくれて、ちょっと感激しました。
また、スタッフのほとんどが日本語が上手(日本人もいました)な女性の方々で、明るく親切なので安心感もありました。
お菓子や飲み物も嬉しいサービスでした。
If you haven't been there, you should definitely go at least once. It's a wonderful place when the weather is nice. You can participate in activities or just relax and enjoy drinks on a boat.
行かれたことのない方は、一度は行ってみてください。天気が良ければ最高なところです。
アクティビティに参加しても良し、船で飲物を飲みながらのんびりくつろいでも良いですよ。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad to hear you had a close encounter with the sea turtles. Please come back to see the turtles again. We are looking forward to that day! Mahalo!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございました。
ウミガメとも近距離で遭遇できたようでよかったですね。ぜひまたウミガメたちに会いにお越しください。
その日を今から楽しみにお待ちしております。マハロ!

I had an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations. I was simply overwhelmed by the majestic nature, and it was definitely worth the experience. The staff who guided us were all very fun (I think it would be even more enjoyable if you understand English). Driving the buggy through the great outdoors was also fun, and the two hours flew by. It takes about an hour from Waikiki, so having transportation included is definitely more convenient.
期待をはるかに超える最高の経験ができました。雄大な自然にただ圧倒されるばかり、体験する価値ありです。引率してくれるスタッフも非常に楽しい方ばかり(英語が分かると相当楽しいと思います)。大自然を走るバギーの運転も楽しくあっという間の2時間です。ワイキキから小一時間ほどかかるので、送迎付きの方が何かと楽です。
You will get covered in dust. If you go in white clothing, you will regret it. After the start, there won't be a place to get water for two hours straight. It's better to either buy water at the Visit
砂埃まみれになります。白い服装で行くと後悔することになります。
スタートした後は2時間ずっと給水できる場所がありません。Visitor Centerで購入するか、水筒を持っていくかした方が良いです。

The shuttle bus was almost full, mostly with Japanese people. There were also Japanese crew members on the boat who provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
When standing on the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. They lend various items like stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and beach balls. First, we played with the equipment, and then we all went snorkeling over the coral reef. There was a note that said you should be able to swim, but I personally can't swim, yet it was fine because I floated with a life jacket. I think those who can swim will be okay with the flotation assistance, but it's at your own risk.
However, it was quite difficult to move forward since there were no fins. I was paddling like a dog, but my husband, who can swim, said, "I can't move at all..."
I was able to see a lot of sea turtles that I wanted to see, and it was so much fun! There were times when they were right in front of me, and since I couldn't move smoothly, I was flustered (laughs).
Including what I saw from the boat, I spotted about five or six turtles! The sea was incredibly beautiful, and even though it was expensive due to the weak yen, I’m really glad I participated.
送迎バスはほぼ満席で日本人がほとんどでした。船のクルーは日本人の人もいて英語と日本語でも案内してくれたので安心できました。
サンドバーの上に立つと腰あたりまで水がありました。sup、浮き輪、ビーチボールなど色んなものを貸してくれます。最初遊具で遊んでその後みんなで珊瑚礁の上をシュノーケリングしに行きます。注意事項に泳げる方とありますが実際私は泳げないのですが、ライフジャケットで浮くので問題ありませんでした。浮く補助があれば泳げる方は大丈夫かと思いますが自己責任で。
ただフィンがないので進むのは結構大変でした。私は犬かきで動き回ってましたが主人は泳げるのに「全然進めない…」と言ってました。
見たかった海亀を沢山見れてすっごく楽しかったです!触れたらいけないのにすぐ目の前にいた時もありスムーズに動けない私はワタワタしました(笑)
船の上から見たのも含めて5、6匹は見れました!
海もめちゃくちゃ綺麗で円安で高かったけど参加して本当に良かったです。
There is no place to change, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit and put on a T-shirt or shorts over it that you don't mind getting wet. You can just get on the bus as you are on the way back.
着替える場所はないので水着を着ていって上から濡れても良いTシャツや下を履いていくといいです。帰りのバスはそのまま乗ります。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I hear you were able to try snorkeling as well. While we do not provide fins, you can use your own, so please bring them next time. It seems you also encountered some sea turtles. Sometimes they come close on their own, and other times it can be quite challenging to get away from them (laughs)...
Above all, I am very happy that you enjoyed the tour. We look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii, along with the sea turtles, in this paradise of the sea.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございました。
シュノーケルもトライして頂けたとのことですね。フィンのご用意はないのですが、ご自身のものをご持参頂いての使用できますので次回はぜひご持参いただければと思います。ウミガメたちとも遭遇できたそうですね。彼らは勝手に寄ってきてくれる時もあり、逃げるのに大変な時も(笑)ございますが。。。
何よりもツアーを楽しんで頂けて大変嬉しいです。またハワイにお越しの際にお会いできる日をウミガメとともにこの天国の海にてお待ちしております。

The tsunami stirred up the sand, making the water very murky, but I was able to swim alongside the honu when they surfaced! I saw more than ten of them from the cruise as well. Additionally, due to the murky conditions caused by the tsunami, they even guided us to a free tour that we could join during our stay. Although I couldn't participate this time, the staff's response was excellent, and I would love to join again. They also offered alternative options to participate in a sunset cruise tour besides the honu, showing their flexibility in accommodating us.
津波の影響で砂を舞い上げ、海中はとても濁っていたが、ホヌが顔を出すタイミングで一緒に泳ぐことができた!
クルーズ上からも10匹以上見ることができた。
また、今回は津波の影響で濁っていたこともあり、滞在中に無料で参加できるツアーまで案内してくださった。今回は参加することができなかったが、この件も含めスタッフの対応がとても良く、また参加したいと思いました。
ホヌ以外にも、サンセットクルーズのツアーにも参加可能の代替案を提案してくださり、臨機応変に対応してくださる。
Although there is also the impact of the tsunami, it would be good to have motion sickness medication available since there were some people who were feeling seasick.
津波の影響もあるが、船酔いしている方がいたため、酔い止めがあると良い。

The staff who can speak Japanese will mainly be in charge. At the sandbar, you can have fun with activities like stand-up paddleboarding and taking photos, and you can also return to the boat to enjoy juice, snacks, fruits, and spam onigiri. In the second half, we went snorkeling in deeper waters, where we were able to see sea turtles and many fish! It's one of the recommended activities!
日本語を話せるスタッフの方がメインで担当してくれます。
サンドバーではSUP等で遊んだり写真を撮ったりしながら、途中船に戻ってジュースやお菓子、フルーツ、スパムおにぎりを食べることもできます。
後半は深場でシュノーケリングでしたが、ウミガメやたくさんの魚達に会えるとこができました!
おすすめのアクティビティの1つですよ!
I recommend checking the tide charts for Hawaii and making a reservation!
ハワイのタイドグラフを確認して予約することをおすすめします!
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!
