Oahu
It was a very safe. We had a really good time! We got some really good pictures! The crew was very knowledgeable about the sharks & their environment! We was concerned about it being safe. We read review & safety records. These Guys stood up to there reputation. They were very professional!
I was looking forward to Sandbar, but at the time close to high tide, the sand wasn't exposed, and it was just a shallow area with splashing. Since it was shallow, there were no fish at all. Well, I did choose to depart a bit later in the morning.
In the afternoon snorkeling, we swam around the coral reef, but the fish were just average to sparse. The water clarity was low, but the coral was magnificent.
The cruise guide, Yumiko, was very enjoyable and considerate, and the hamburger for lunch was delicious, creating a very nice atmosphere.
サンドバー、楽しみにしていましたが、満潮に近い時刻で砂は浮き出ておらず、単なる浅瀬のぱちゃぱちゃでした。浅瀬なので魚も全くおらず。まぁ、午前中ゆっくりめの出発を選んだのは私ですが。
午後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の回りを泳ぎますが、魚影はごくふつうから少なめ。水の透明度は低め。サンゴはみごとでしたが。
クルーズのガイド、ゆみこさんはとても楽しく、気を遣ってくれて、ランチのハンバーガーはおいしくて、雰囲気はとてもよかった。
The meeting place was easy to find, and the driver was very courteous, making the ride very comfortable. When we arrived at the port, a Japanese person explained everything, which made me feel very relieved. It was also reassuring that others could communicate in Japanese.
集合場所も分かりやすく、運転手さんも丁寧に送迎してくれてとても乗り心地良かったです。
港に着くと日本人が説明してくれてとても安心しました。他の人も日本語対応が出来てとても安心です。

I participated with four friends. Three of them are not very good at snorkeling, but they enjoyed it nonetheless.
I joined the sandbar tour about eight years ago, but this time there was no sandy area in sight at all. Being 160 cm tall, the water level was almost up to my waist. It might have been high tide, but it felt just like a regular sea.
Still, I was able to see a lot of sea turtles, which I was very satisfied with. I also felt that it would have been better if there had been an explanation of the snorkeling masks and other equipment on the boat rather than after entering the water.
友人4人で参加しました。3人はシュノーケリングが得意ではありませんが、それなりに満喫しておりました。
サンドバーは8年ほど前に参加してますが、今回は砂地が全くなく見当たらず、160㎝の背の高さの私は、ほぼ腰あたりまで水面が来ていました。満潮だったかもしれませんが、それにしても普通の海としか感じませんでした。
それでも、沢山のウミカメを見ることができました。その点はとても満足しました。
また、海に入ってからではなく、船上で、シュノーケリングマスク等の説明があったらよかったなと感じました。

An awesome way to see some of the beautiful Hawaii! Friendly staff. A great experience.
The Toa Luau was a great first luau for our family (30 to 60 year olds). Waimea Valley itself is beautiful; definitely come at least 2 hours early to be able to walk to the waterfall and enjoy the scenery. The pre-luau activities like weaving grass head bands, husking coconuts etc were fun. The show itself was fantastic too - they performed authentic ceremonies and dances from different Polynesian islands. The host was hilarious! Only slight downside was the food was only mediocre. We are all vegetarian and our main entree was bland quinoa; but we were happy there was even a vegetarian option (you have to request ahead of time though). Overall this luau is definitely worth it and we will recommend it to all of our family and friends!!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are glad you had fun at the luau although it looks like we need to work on our menu. When you come back to do the luau please let us know beforehand so we could make preparations for you to have a better meal. We hope to see you soon!
The staff the cruize alcohol everything is amazing we did it twice ! The only thing was it was so nice i would have take 30min more !!!
Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything, but the local captain was full of humor, making it a fun memory. There were no safety issues either.
あいにく何も釣れませんでしたが、
現地人の船長がユーモアたっぷりで
楽しい思い出になりました。
安全性も問題ありませんでした。
The trip to Diamond Head in the morning and Manoa Falls in the afternoon left plenty of time to do a round-trip and have time for a snack or rest. Bring water and your camera.
They plan on widening the path to Manoa Falls making it two-way. Can be very slippery and muddy, especially when it rains, which is most of the time. You'll see bare feet, flip-flops, nice sneakers, etc. Good walking shoes recommended. Enjoy the beautiful paintings of the Kings and Queens of Hawaii in the Manoa Falls visitors center.
I have been interested in the boat that departs from the Sheraton, my regular accommodation, for a long time. I can't believe I can book it here! From what I've read about the experience, there are not many Japanese people on board. That was certainly true. There were only a few Japanese passengers during my trip. I couldn't understand the captain's talk, but I enjoyed chatting with a lady from New Zealand who sat next to me.
Also, I quickly changed the Mai Tai they handed out right after boarding to juice (since I can't have alcohol). The background music and the feeling of the wind were wonderful, and since we went quite far out, it was a graceful and lovely time. I even managed to communicate with the boys in a spot where the waves were quite rough, all with smiles (^^). I'm really glad I experienced this. I will definitely book it again next time!
以前から、定宿のシェラトン前から出ている船に興味がありました。それがこちらで予約できるなんて!
体験談を読むと日本人は少ないとのこと。確かに。
わたしの乗船も数えるほどの日本人でした。キャプテンのお話も理解できなかったけど、隣に座ったNZからのご婦人とお話をしたり楽しかったです。
あと乗船してすぐ配られたマイタイをすぐジュースにチェンジしてもらいました(アルコールがダメなので)。
BGMといい、感じる風といい、かなり沖まで出たので優雅で素敵な時間でした。
波しぶきが激しい場所にいた男子とも笑顔でなんとなく意思疎通(^^)
本当に体験して良かったです。
次回も必ず予約して乗ります!
We had 6 people in our party and we had a blast! We caught 2 awesome waves and even saw a turtle swimming with us!! The crew were both very friendly and made this a memory to last forever!
I was given motion sickness medication, and there was a restroom on the boat. It was great to see dolphins swimming right below us and schools of them passing in front of us. However, it was confusing to be dropped off at a snorkeling spot where there was nothing to see, and the photographer was unnaturally energetic, which was a bit annoying. I think a more assertive approach might create good memories for couples. Overall, it was nice to see the dolphins.
酔い止めを渡され、船内にトイレもありました。イルカが真下を泳いでいたり、目の前を通る群れを見れてよかったです。ただ、シュノーケルのスポットは何もいないのに降ろされて意味不明だったのと、カメラマンが常に不自然な程テンションが高くめんどくさかったです。多少強引な方が、カップルさんとかは良い思い出になると思います。内容的にはイルカが見れてよかったです。
This time there was no champagne. I was a bit disappointed.
今回はシャンパンが無かったですね。
少し残念でした。???????????????????????????????????
Everything was amazing! First of all, Mr. Gaito's guidance was very thorough, which made me feel secure participating in the tour. The BBQ hamburger was also juicy and incredibly delicious! Above all, I was able to fully enjoy the ocean in Hawaii! At the sandbar, I took photos right in the middle of the sea and admired the beautiful water. During the sea turtle watching, although they were a bit far away, I encountered two sea turtles. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside a sea turtle! If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely love to participate once more!
全てが最高でした!
まず、ガイトさんの案内が非常に丁寧で安心してツアーに参加することが出来ました。BBQハンバーガーも肉汁が溢れてとても美味しかったです!
そして何よりハワイの海を満喫出来ました!サンドバーでは海のど真ん中で写真を撮ったり、綺麗な海を眺めたり。ウミガメウォッチングでは少し遠目ではありましたが、ウミガメ2匹と遭遇。シュノーケリングでは何とウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことが出来ました!
またハワイに行く機会があれば是非もう一度参加したいです!
I was able to see many dolphins and swim with them! I also saw sea turtles! I will participate again if I have the chance!
沢山のイルカが見れ一緒に、泳ぐことができました!
海亀も見れた〜!!
また機会があれば参加します!
Encountering wild dolphins and turtles in the great outdoors was a wonderful treasure! We, the staff, look forward to your next participation.
大自然の野生のイルカ、亀に出会えた体験は大きな宝物ですね!
またの参加をスタッフ一同、是非お待ちしております。
I was worried about the language barrier, but there were no problems at all. The explanations before the flight were easy to understand, and I had a great time! I also took a lot of photos, so it was enjoyable even after returning home. Thank you very much!
言葉の心配ありましたが全く問題なく、飛ぶ前の説明もわかりやすて凄く楽しめました!写真も沢山撮って頂いてたので帰ってからも2度美味しい。ありがとうございました
This tour was amazing. The crew were all super friendly and knowledgeable. The turtles were incredibly close and simply beautiful. Highly recommend this experience!
The garlic shrimp at Cameron's, recommended by our guide in Haleiwa, was delicious. It was a shame that our stay in Haleiwa was only about an hour due to horseback riding being scheduled afterward, leaving us no time to explore. It seems our time in Haleiwa was shortened because of expected traffic on that weekend.
The horseback riding at Turtle Bay by the sea was very nice. The horse I rode was a bit of a glutton and kept trying to eat grass during the ride, so I had to scold him multiple times to get back on course, which left my arms sore. It turned into a fun memory! Next time, I think I’ll want to explore Haleiwa more leisurely, so I might plan horseback riding for another day.
ハレイワではガイドさんのおススメキャメロンのガーリックシュリンプ美味しかったです。
乗馬がその後の予定だったのでハレイワでの滞在が1時間程で散策する時間が無かったのが残念です。その日は週末のせいか渋滞が予想されたのでハレイワ滞在時間が短縮された様です。
乗馬はタートルベイの海辺でとても良かったです。私が乗った馬は食いしん坊で乗馬中に何度も草を食べに行ってしまい何度も馬を叱ってコースに戻るようにしたので腕が筋肉痛になりまた。笑笑〜楽しい思い出になりました。
次回はゆっくりハレイワを散策したいので乗馬は別の日にしよーかなぁ〜と思ってます。
Unlike the hot daytime, the cool breeze while swaying on the boat made the sunset and the night view of Waikiki incredibly beautiful. I was a bit nervous since there were hardly any Japanese people and everything was in English, but Captain DJ took care of us and spoke to us in broken Japanese. I thought there might not be a sunset cruise for just female friends, but it was incredibly pleasant, and I'm glad I went. It might have been better that it wasn't aimed at Japanese tourists, as it allowed me to really immerse myself in the travel experience.
By the way, the pickup service is only available from limited locations, so I recommend negotiating to be picked up only for the return trip.
暑い昼間と違って涼しい風が吹く中、船に揺られて海の上から見る夕陽とワイキキの夜景がとっても綺麗でした。日本人がほとんどいないし、英語のみの対応なので大丈夫かなと緊張してましたが、キャプテンDJがわたしたちを気にかけて片言の日本語で話しかけてくれました。女友達同士でサンセットクルーズもないかなーと思いつつ参加しましたが、最高に気持ちよく、行って良かったです。かえって日本人向けじゃなくて、旅気分に浸れて良かったかも。
ちなみにピックアップサービスは限られた場所のみなので、帰りだけ乗せてもらうように交渉するのがおすすめです。
Dear aquaaqua,
Thank you for using our services. We are glad to hear that you were satisfied. We look forward to seeing you again when you come to Hawaii. Please come to swim next time!

When I arrived at the meeting place on the reserved day, I was informed that only two groups were there and that we couldn't go out due to high waves. It was rescheduled for the next day. I wish they had contacted me in advance; it felt like a waste of the time I had prepared, so I gave it four stars.
The next day, more than six groups participated, and we set sail. The yacht was beautiful. The captain spoke a little Japanese and was considerate towards us; he was a kind person. The weather was great, and it felt wonderful and beautiful.
Although it was stated that only soft drinks would be provided, they served canned beer and wine, and there were fewer options for soft drinks.
予約した日に待ち合わせ場所に行くと、2組だけで今日は波が高いから行けないとの事。翌日に変更された。
できれば事前に連絡くれたら良かったのにと、色々と切り上げて、準備した時間が無駄になったので星4個に。
翌日は6組以上が参加して出航。綺麗なヨットだった。キャプテンは少し日本語が出来て、私達にも気を使ってくれて、優しい人だった。とてもいい天気で気持ちよかったし、綺麗だった。
ソフトドリンクと書いてあったが、缶ビールやワインなどアルコールが提供されて、ソフトドリンクの方が種類が少なかった。
Dear Hanatsu,
Thank you for participating in the Sunset Sailing. We apologize for the last-minute change to the following day due to weather conditions, and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused you. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience the next day.
We will work on enhancing our selection of soft drinks in the future. (It seems that the alcoholic beverages were personal items belonging to other guests.)
When you come back to Hawaii, please be sure to visit the captain.

この度はサンセットセーリングにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
天候の都合で急遽翌日に振り替えとなり、貴重なお時間を無駄にしてしまい、申し訳ございませんでした。
翌日は楽しめて頂けたようでよかったです。
今後、ソフトドリンクをもっと充実するようにいたします。(どうやら、アルコール類は他のお客様の私物だったようです。)
また、ハワイに来られる際は、是非キャプテンに会いに来てください。

I participated with my daughter. The staff members were very kind and fun people. We were able to go to places we couldn't reach on our own and met many turtles, even swimming with them! It was a wonderful tour. However... I am very prone to seasickness, and I forgot to bring motion sickness medication to the hotel (tears), so I wasted half of the tour (free time) unable to do anything. I am really disappointed about that. I truly think the tour itself, including the staff, was absolutely amazing! I plan to take revenge next time (^o^)/
娘と二人で参加しました。スタッフの皆さんがとても親切で楽しい方々でした。自力では行けない場所に行け沢山の亀さんにも会え、一緒に泳ぐ事が出来る!とても素晴らしいツアーでした。ただ…私がとても波酔い船酔いしやすいのに、ホテルに酔い止め薬を忘れて(涙)ツアー半分(自由時間)を何も出来ない状態で無駄にしてしまいました。その事が残念でなりません。ツアーは自体はスタッフの方々含め本当に本当に最高だと思います!次回またリベンジするつもりです(^o^)/
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. I hope you were okay after getting seasick! Please come back for a revenge tour! 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。船酔いしてしまったのですね!大丈夫でしたでしょうか?是非リベンジにいらしてくださいね!!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。
At this time of year, you can't see the sunset from Waikiki Beach, so I signed up for this plan. Sailing while drinking a Mai Tai felt great.
この時期 ワイキキビーチからはサンセットが見られないので こちらのプランに申し込みました。
マオタイを飲みながらのセーリングは
良い気分でした。
The sandbar was beautiful even without the sand. It seems to depend on the weather, so it really is a matter of luck. The staff were very accommodating, and they took photos for us. The hamburgers grilled on the boat were delicious, and I enjoyed snorkeling for the first time without any worries. We scattered bread for the fish, so we got to see a lot of tropical fish, which made for a happy time.
サンドバーは砂が出ていなくても色が綺麗でした。お天気によるそうなので、これは本当に運です。
スタッフの対応がとても良くて、写真も撮ってもらいました。
船で焼いてくれるハンバーガーも美味しかったし、生まれて初めての
シュノーケリングも何も心配なく楽しめました。餌のパンを撒くので
とてもたくさんの熱帯魚に会えて、幸せな時間でした。
It was a fireworks day, so we went sailing late in the evening. We enjoyed unlimited drinks while taking in the beautiful sunset views, stunning night scenery, and fireworks.
花火の日だったので、遅い時間のセーリングでした。夕暮れの景色から、美しい夜景、花火までお酒飲み放題で楽しむことができました。
Personnel were friendly and helpful. Truly enjoyed interacting with them. They made the experience feel safe, and yet exciting. Our group ranged from eleven to sixty-two and everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks so much!
Very entertaining crew, worth the money! Would definitely recommend.
It was one of the most amazing times my family has had. The atv ride to the top was fun and then all the lines had the most beautiful views. Joey Riley, and Reese where great guides they were very informed about the ranch we were on and made all of us comfortable enough to go upside down but be end of the day. Would definitely do again.
The Manu Kai crew was so friendly and helpful! We had a great time!
The site mentioned it was about 1.5 feet, but in reality, the depth where we got off the boat was 130 cm, and in shallow areas, it was around 80 cm. The weather was nice, so the scenery was beautiful!
We were able to see sea turtles about three times, and the kids were thrilled.
The snorkeling experience was as expected, but since it was our first time, I felt reassured by the staff's safety-first attitude.
For those who didn't participate in snorkeling, we had some playtime with the equipment, and thanks to the small number of kids, my child (5 years old, who can float but can't swim) was able to snorkel near the boat. One of the staff members spoke Japanese, and everyone was friendly, making it a fun experience.
I managed without marine shoes, but since Waikiki Beach has quite a few painful stones, I thought it would have been better to buy them for the entire stay in Hawaii.
サイトでは1.5feetくらいでしたが、実際はボートから降りた地点で130cm、浅いところで80cm程度でした。天気が良かったこともあり充分景色はきれいでした!
ウミガメも3回くらい見れて子供は大喜びでした。
シュノーケルはこんなもんかといった感じでしたが、初めてやるぶんにはスタッフの方が安全第一の姿勢だったので安心できました。
シュノーケル不参加組は道具を出して頂いてお遊びタイムでしたが、子供が少なかったおかげか、うちの子(5歳、プールに浮かべるが泳げない)はボートの近くでシュノーケルをさせていただいたようです。
スタッフの方は日本語ができる方が1名はおり、皆さんフレンドリーで楽しく過ごせました。
マリンシューズは無くても何とかなりましたが、ワイキキビーチも結構石が痛いのでハワイ滞在全体を通して買えば良かったと思いました。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are glad to hear that your children enjoyed it as well. We all 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。お子様も楽しんで頂けたようで、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。
We participated as a family of three, including my 5-year-old daughter who is 105 cm tall and weighs 15 kg. We chose the highest ride available.
My daughter tends to be a bit afraid of heights; she wanted to ride the Ferris wheel but was nervous and needed to be carried. She also gets scared when she sees the ground while going down the stairs, so I was worried she might cry during the ride, but she was fine.
She had a serious expression the whole time we were flying, but after we got off, she said, "Let's go again!" so it seems she enjoyed it. The boat ride felt like a roller coaster, and she had fun with that too. Normally, she doesn't get car sick, but she did feel nauseous on the plane, so we quickly bought some motion sickness medicine at ABC Store before going.
Overall, it felt like an extremely scenic swing. I think anyone who can handle the swinging rides at amusement parks will be fine!
5歳105cm15kgの娘を含む親子3人で参加しました。高度は一番高いものを選びました。
娘は高所恐怖症気味で、観覧車は乗りたがるけどダッコちゃんだったり、階段も降りるときに階下が見えると怖がったりと、そろそも泣かずに乗ってくれるか不安でしたが大丈夫でした。
飛んでいる最中は終始真顔でしたが、降りたあと「もう一回!」と言ってたので楽しかったようです。
ボートでの移動もジェットコースターみたいで楽しんでいました。普段、車酔いなどはしませんが飛行機で酔ってしまったので、急遽ABCストアで購入した酔い止め飲んでいきました。
感覚としては、超・景色のよいブランコという感じでした。遊園地の吊り下げブランコ風のアトラクションが乗れる方は大丈夫だと思います!
