Oahu
Larger ATV the whole famliy can fit in! We loved the grounds of Kualoa Ranch
Me and my husband who are a bit older felt like this was perfect for us to get to see the water as a diver would!
Aloha Kara! Mahalo for your excellent review! It was a pleasure to have you aboard for a deep sea dive, and we're happy to hear you had a great experience! We pride ourselves on giving our guests the best experience each time they dive with us. Thank you very much for joining us and for sharing your kind words. We hope to see you again soon for another underwater adventure!
You will learn sooo much about the history of Hawaii and all the slands that surround it!
Porbably could have seen a bit more if I had more time.
Kinda felt lke the tour wasn't as great without Arizona.
We had an outstanding experience! The captain and co-captain were friendly and professional. We arrived at the cage and returned to our destination safely. We were fortunate to see a few sharks. I thought I might get seasick but to my surprise I did not. I think it was because my grandson and I ate a bland meal beforehand and do not drink coffee. Unfortunately, two of the passengers did get sick and went palu in the cage! Auwe! Overall a great experience and we'd do it again.
Driver/ Tour Guide was great. Knew his route and the points of interest.
Cannot say the excursion was what we expected. We did not get to see the Arizona even though we saw it in 2017, because the lines were too long. we were not told when we booked the excursion that the docks would be in repair. Apparently its omnly about the money. No service involved. We were told the Military was running the ticket sales. So, we booked this several months in advance and were told the tickets were purchased the day before. Great service. Again all about money with no delivery.
The Honolulu part was fine.
Would not recommend unless you are going to be upfront with the customer.
The dinner and show were a great way to spend time in Hawaii, and I would do this one again! The food was tasty, plentiful, and offered more of a variety of choices than some of the other luaus I’ve attended on the island. Be sure to come hungry! I was thrilled that I could enjoy a welcome mai tai since they had a nonalcoholic option. I thought I was going to have to miss out, but they had me covered, and it didn’t taste like it was only pineapple juice. After the delicious dinner and fun fellowship with other guests, it was time for the show. The transition from the dining area to the show venue was smooth. The staff was so helpful. Shout out to Sheena!
Some of the performers in the show had also attended to us at the luau. It was awesome to see them in their element on stage. They were professional in both settings, and so talented on stage. I felt like I was watching friends perform. I knew the show was about Hawaii over time, but I was pleasantly surprised when “Elvis” came on stage and you also had to bolt me to my seat when “Michael Jackson” appeared. Both performers were believable! The fire dancer was lit! (Pun intended) and the energetic dancers and singers were top notch. Be sure to come with a camera to take lots of pictures with the flash off, of course! You will not be disappointed!
It seems to be a popular activity, and even with a reservation made two weeks in advance, I couldn't get a morning start and had to book for after 1 PM. On the way to the location from the meeting point, there was heavy rain. By the time we arrived, it was just light rain. Luckily, the rain stopped before we departed.
Around lunchtime, there was a long line for ordering food, and I was worried about making it in time for my scheduled participation. It was the right decision to line up quickly after arriving. Before departure, we received a briefing and had our licenses checked. A Japanese driver's license is acceptable; an international driver's license is not necessary.
Finally, we set off. I had to chase after the car in front of me on the bumpy road, gripping the steering wheel tightly, which was tiring. I didn't feel much of a sense of exhilaration. At a rest stop along the way, there was an explanation related to movie shooting scenes, but I had only seen Jurassic Park and was completely lost.
It could have been a hassle if it had rained, but since the rain had stopped, there was little mud splatter and hardly any dirt. The leader at the front and the cheerful woman at the back were both very experienced. They talked a lot, but their fast pace made it hard to understand—about one-third of what they said. By the way, I have a TOEIC score of over 800.
The return bus time was predetermined, and we had to wait for about two hours. There were no souvenirs I wanted, so I just waited. It seemed that many people had come by car. I overheard a participant in the horseback riding course say, "I didn't think it would be this much fun" (in Japanese), which made me slightly regret not choosing that option.
人気があるアクティビティのようで、2週間前の予約でも午前スタートは取れず、午後13時過ぎの予約に。
集合場所から現地に向かう途中に激しい雨。到着時は小雨程度。出発時は雨が上がりラッキー。
お昼前後は昼食注文の長蛇の列で参加時刻に間に合うか、気を揉んだ。到着後、速やかに並ぶのが正解。
出発前に事前説明を受け、免許証の確認。日本の免許証でOK。国際免許証は不要。
いざ出発。前の車に後れないようにでこぼこ道を懸命に追いかける。ハンドルを目一杯握るので疲れる。爽快感はさほど感じなかった。
途中の休憩スポットで映画の撮影シーンと絡めた説明があるが、ジュラシックパーク以外は観ておらず、チンプンカンプン。
雨が降っていたら大変だったかも。雨が上がっていたので、泥ハネ少なく殆ど汚れなし。
先頭のリーダーと最後を見守るのは経験十分な陽気な女性二人。沢山喋ってくれるが早口で理解度1/3。因みに当方はTOEIC800以上。
帰りのバス時刻は予め指定されており、待つこと2時間ほど。欲しい土産物もなくただ待つのみ。乗用車で来た人が多いようです。
乗馬コース参加者が、「こんなに楽しいとは思わなかった」(日本語)と言っているのを小耳にはさんだので、「そちらにするんだった」とやや後悔。
I participated in the morning session. The sea was emerald green and very beautiful! I was surprised at how deep and cold it was at first. I tried kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and it was really fun. Although I couldn't see the sandy beach due to timing, I had a great time overall.
午前中の部に参加しました。
海はエメラルドグリーンでとても綺麗でした!思ったよりも深くて冷たくて最初驚きました。カヤックやSUP?を初めてしましたが、とても面白かったです。サンドバーとはいえ、時間的に砂浜の箇所は見れませんでしたが、満喫できました。
The live music was really good, everyone was super friendly and everything was very organized and clean.
It was great to see people from various countries gathered together, and we had quite a bit of freedom on the boat! I regret not getting in the water during the sailing, as it felt a bit embarrassing. The sunset was absolutely stunning! There was nice music playing, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. Coincidentally, it was a full moon, and after the sun set, the full moon rose beautifully, which was incredibly picturesque! This was an experience that is hard to come by in Japan. Even after it got dark, we could see the beautiful lights of Hawaii, and I enjoyed every moment! Since the guide spoke English, I didn't fully understand the content, but it wasn't a problem since we were just on the boat.
多国籍の人たちが集まっていたのも良かったですし船の中では割と自由でした!セーリング途中で海に入れるところ、何となく気恥ずかしくて入らなかったのが心残りです。夕日も最っっっ高にキレイでした!いい音楽も流れていて気持ちよかったです。たまたま満月とゆうこともあり、夕日が落ちたあと満月がキレイに浮かび上がってこれも最高に美しかったです!なかなか日本では体験出来ないことでした。暗くなってからもハワイのキレイな光が見れてどの瞬間も楽しめました!英語のガイドだったので話の内容はよくわかりませんでしたが船に乗っているだけなので問題ありませんでした。
Excellent customer service
Great sites
Prompt pick up
Hello Anna,
Thank you so much for your review. It was fun taking you around the Island. Enjoy your journey here in Hawaii.

The guys who led our sunset were great. They supported everyone with warm vibes and clear communication on how to act on the vessel. Swim time and the sunset were truly mesmerizing moments, we even a honu in the near distance! I enjoyed the mix of talking and also providing space for us all to just be with nature and the evening. It was our captains first trip, and he did great too (I think Alonsio!). My parents were celebrating they 37th anniversary and they cheered up the whole group over it, which made them feel so seen and heard : ) Mahalo nui loa. Highly recommend.
They also provide snorkeling, and they offer free mini floaties suitable for 2-year-old children. There are staff members who understand Japanese, which is reassuring.
The kids were very satisfied! Light snacks are included, and there are restrooms on the boat. The weather and everything else was perfect. I would love to participate again when I come to Hawaii with friends next time!
シュノーケリングも付いてるし、浮き輪も子供2歳の子が乗れるミニ浮き輪も無料で貸してくれるし、日本語分かるスタッフもちゃんと居てくれてるので安心。
子供たちも凄く満足していました❗軽食も☕付いてるし、⛴️にはトイレも付いています、天気も何もかも最高でした。また次回友達とハワイに来たら参加したいです
Thank you very much for choosing the Captain Bruce's Paradise Sea Tour from among the many optional tours available. We are very pleased to hear that the children were satisfied as well. We all look forward to the day we can meet again.
この度は数あるオプショナルツアーの中よりキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーをお選び頂き誠にありがとうございます。
お子様達にも満足して頂けたとの事、大変うれしく存じます。
またお会いできる日をスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
We enjoyed our horseback ride on the beach. The scenery was beautiful, the ride easy. It wasn't 2 hours as advertised, closer to 1 hour 40 minutes, but still a nice ride. They make you wear helmets which I wish was optional because I didn't feel they were necessary since we only walked the horses and the horses were very gentle. It would have been nice if we could have run the horses, but with beginner riders on the trip I understand that that was not an option and they let you know it's walking only. Our guide Ella was very friendly. Overall we were pleased with the ride.
Captain and her team was awesome! Loved the experience, it’s mainly luck if you wanna see a lot of marine life but the experience itself was so cool! We went with a total of 14 people in my group
Elvis and Michael may still be famous in America, but in Japan, they might be considered nostalgic. Even as someone over sixty who loves Western music, I don't really know what Elvis sounds like when he's singing live, so I thought it might be a bit much for younger people. I believe that traditional hula dancing is more representative of Hawaii.
Even though I was in the front row, only a few people in the middle got to shake hands with the singer playing Elvis. When we were leaving, he quickly avoided us when we got close. Why is that?
プレスリーもマイケルも、アメリカではまだ有名なのかもしれないけど、日本だともう懐メロの範疇かな。洋楽大好きな還暦過ぎの私でも、プレスリーなどリアルに歌っているのを知らないので、若い人にはちょっと無理かなと思いました。伝統的なフラダンスだけの方がハワイらしくて良いと思いました。
最前列なのに、プレスリー役の歌手には真ん中の数人のみ握手してもらえず。帰りのお見送りでも、近づくとさっと逃げられました。どうして?
The weather was great, and it was the best sailing experience. I was able to take a lot of wonderful photos. However, mineral water was not provided.
お天気にも恵まれサイコーのセーリングでした。
ステキな写真もたくさん撮れました。。ただ、ミネラルウォーターは配られませんでしたよ
All around great experience.
Had musicians on the boat that really put on a show on the way to and from the the water activities.
Great host that truly made the experience better.
Bumper tubes was fun, our driver definitely gave us a run for our money !
Worth every penny
The crew makes it a fun experience. Fun and the views are espectacular! I highly recommend pink
I applied with excitement to enjoy the movie filming location. Following the misty mountains was a wonderful experience that captivated me with nature and horses.
映画の撮影現場を楽しみに申込みました。霧深い山々を辿るのは自然と馬に魅せられる素晴らしい体験でした。
We had a wonderful sunset cruise. A very low-key and relaxing way to view the sunset and beautiful landscape. Captain and family are friendly and kind and make the experience even more enjoyable.
This is great way to see all the sites at Pearl Harbor in a cost effective and easy way. No problems going between each site. Thank you so much .
It was my first time doing SUP, but they taught me very carefully how to hold the board and paddle. They praised me a lot and encouraged me. Once I was able to do a little, they taught me the next thing, so I was able to improve without feeling pressured. It's a shame that the videos and photos are $50 per person, as I would have purchased just the photos if they had sold them separately.
初めてのSUPでしたが、ボードやパドルの持ち方からとても丁寧に教えてくれました。
いっぱい褒めてのばしてくれます。少し出来るようになるとつぎの事を教えてくれるので無理なく上達できます。
動画と写真は1人50ドルで高いので、写真だけでも販売してくれたら購入出来たのに残念です。

I had a great time paddleboarding at the sandbar, and I was able to see a large turtle while snorkeling. The visibility was a bit poor, though.
サンドバーではサップしたりして楽しかった、シュノーケリングでは大きなカメを見ることができた。少し透明度が悪かった。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very happy to hear that you had a great time and encountered sea turtles. The sandbar is a truly mystical spot that shows different expressions depending on the day and time, so we will continue to strive as a team to ensure that everyone can enjoy the beautiful sandbar, regardless of the weather or tide levels. We 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。
ウミガメに出会えて、楽しくツアーに参加していただけたとのことでとても嬉しく思います。
サンドバーはその日その時間によって違う表情を見せてくれるとても神秘的なスポットですので、天候や潮位に関わらず皆様に美しいサンドバーを満喫していただけるようこれからもスタッフ一同努力を重ねてまいります。
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 experienced this three years ago and had so much fun that I decided to try it again. There were no single-person buggies available, only the six-person ones, but I still enjoyed the long journey with the beautiful scenery and thrills. The staff seemed to be making an effort to entertain us. As expected, there were few Japanese people, so a certain level of language skills was necessary! I relied on Pocketalk. I would love to go again if single-person buggies are available again.
3年前に体験して凄く楽しかったので再びチャレンジ 1人用のバギーはなくて6人乗りのみでしたが、それでも長い長い道のりで景色やスリルが楽しめました。スタッフさんも楽しませようと頑張っている感じでした さすがに日本人は少なくある程度の語学力が必要でした!私はポケトークのお世話になりました。 又1人用バギーが再開されたら行きたいですね
We had a blast. The crew was amazing, the drinks were flowing, and the music made it so fun. This was the best way to start our vacation! Would definitely do it again.
First, want to acknowledge our awesome tour guide. His name was Garfield. This guy was full of information and his instructions were spot on. I have so much to say about this day. To me it was a little overwhelming all that we saw in such a short time. Between the Bowfin submarine tour, it's museum, the USS Arizona Memorial was spectacular and awe inspiring. The aviation museum was my favorite since I am an aviation buff. All the planes in various states of repair and some that were riddled with bullet holes was incredible. The Battleship Missouri was quite a sight to see. I wish I returned to spend more time to explore. This day was full of sights and emotion. Worth the price of admission for sure. Thank you again Garfield.
Well, we didn't start off on time due to an unavoidable traffic issue. Once Juicy showed up the trip began and he kept us rolling in the aisles with funny stories and excellent information about the sights. Did I mention that Juicy made up for arriving late? Each stop was awesome and he went out of his way to make it just that much more special. The lunch was some yet delicious. I feel bad because I actually forgot his real name. The only name we got familiar with was Juicy. What a sweet and funny man. I really connected with him. Glad we took this tour.
