It was drizzling, but the shuttle bus arrived on time and took us to the departure point. After waiting for about 30 minutes at the port, we set off with two crew members and four fellow passengers.
The boat accelerates and turns at a high speed, shaking like an amusement park ride!
Once we took off, the feeling of floating and the refreshing breeze were delightful, and we had a great view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When returning to the boat, I was surprised by the crew as I was momentarily dropped into the water. (laughs)
It was a highlight of my trip to Hawaii and I had a lot of fun!
Also, after returning to the port, you can purchase an SD card with about 60 images taken by the crew for $30.
小雨が降る中でしたが、定刻に送迎バスが来て出航場所まで移動しました。
港で30分程待った後に、クルー2人、同行客4人と共に出発。
船は猛スピードで加速や旋回をするので、遊園地のアトラクション並みに揺れます!
いざ、飛び立つと、ふわふわとした浮遊感と爽やかな風が気持ちよく、ワイキキビーチとダイアモンドヘッドが一望できました。
船に戻る際、クルーのサプライズで海の中に一瞬落とされました。笑
ハワイ旅行のハイライトとなり、とても楽しかったです!
また、帰港後はクルーが撮影した画像60枚程が入ったSDカードを30ドルで購入出来ます。

This time, we were picked up from Ko Olina, so we arrived at the departure port early. (Last time, we were picked up from Waikiki, so we ended up spending quite a long time in the car.) On the day of the trip, there was a slight delay in departure due to engine trouble, but perhaps that was fortunate? Right after we set off, another tour found dolphins, so we were able to get into the water right away. During my previous participation, the waves were rough, and I could only see the dolphins swimming along the seabed, but this time they were swimming close to the surface, so we could see them within reach. Later, at another spot, we were able to see four sea turtles up close, and one came up to the surface to breathe right in front of my wife, which was very moving. I'm really glad I participated again this time. I would definitely like to join for a third time if the opportunity arises. I am very grateful for the guide's hospitality. (By the way, the malasada service that was available last time was no longer offered.)
今回はコオリナからの送迎だったので、出発する港へも早く到着しました。
(前回はワイキキからだったので、意外と長く車に乗りました)
当日、船のエンジンが不調とのことで少し出発が遅れましたが、それが幸い?
したのか出発してすぐに別のツアーがイルカを見つけていたので、すぐに海に入ることができました。
前回の参加時は波も荒く、イルカも海底を泳いでいる姿を見るくらいでしたが、今回は海面近くを泳いでいたので手の届くようなところで見られました。
その後移動した場所で、ウミガメ4匹も近くで見られ、家内の目の前に呼吸しに上がってきたりしてとても感動しました。今回も参加してとても良かったです。3回目も是非機会があれば参加したいと思いました。ガイドさんのホスピタリティーに大感謝です。
(因みに、前回はあったマラサダサービスはなくなっていました)
Thank you for participating in the tour. I apologize for the delay in departure. I'm glad to hear that you were able to swim close to the dolphins. We look forward to your third participation!

We took a boat to a wonderful sandbar!
It was cloudy, so the photos didn't turn out great, but in reality, the water was clear and beautiful!
The Japanese guide really got everyone excited, took lots of photos, and it became a great memory!
The snorkeling was amazing with beautiful fish swimming around and the coral was stunning!
The BBQ hamburgers we had on the boat were very American and absolutely delicious!
The guide's child was there too, and they were adorable!
They even showed us the location of the turtles using a clock as a reference!

I wanted to see some kind of show when I went to Hawaii, so I attended the Rock-a-Hula show, which also included a buffet. The location was easy to find on the fourth floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, and it was convenient for using the trolley afterward, which was reassuring. We ate at the buffet under the tent on the terrace before moving to the show venue. The meal started with a Mai Tai drink, and they asked whether we wanted it alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The staff guided each table in turn to the buffet. While we were eating, we could enjoy dancing and singing, which heightened the feeling of being in Hawaii. The show had free seating in the second-floor section. Video and flash photography were not allowed, but taking photos was okay. An Elvis impersonator came around, which was a bit challenging for everyone, but it was fun. The dancers changed costumes quickly and performed energetically. If you mainly want to see hula dancing, you might find it a bit different. However, as a show, the dancing was excellent, and I enjoyed it without getting bored until the end, which left me satisfied. After the show, they also took photos and signed autographs in the lobby, providing excellent service.
ハワイに行ったら何らかのショーをみたいと思っていたのでビュッフェもついているロック・ア・フラショーに行ってきました。場所もロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階でわかりやすく、終わった後もトローリーなどの利用に便利な場所なので安心でした。テラスのテントでビュッフェで食べてからショーの会場へ移動します。食事は最初にマイタイのドリンクがでますが、アルコールかノンアルコールか聞いてくれます。係りの方がテーブルごとに順番にビュッフェ台に行くよう案内してくれます。食べいる間も踊りや歌がみられハワイに来た気分が高まりました。ショーは2階席で自由席。動画とフラッシュ使用はNGですが写真撮影はOKでした。エルビスのそっくりさんも全員には難しいですが、まわって来てくれました。ダンスは早着替えで踊りまくり。フラダンスをメインで観たい方はちょっと違うと思われるかもしれません。がショーとしてはダンスも上手で飽きる事無く最後まで楽しめて満足しました。ショーの後もロビーで写真やサインもしてくれてサービス満点です。
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 next visit Hawaii.

This is my youngest son's first trip to Hawaii. He asked to go snorkling. So I thought it would be even more fun to snorkle with turtles. And so we did. We had such an amazing experience, staffs were very nice and helpful. It was fun to see many turtles and fishes. We had so much fun. And at the end of our Hawaii trip, I asked my son, which one was the most memorable one of all the places we went to in Hawaii, and he said snorkling with turtles!!!

I was nervous about snorkeling after a long time, but the lecture in the shallow water made me feel at ease. I had a great experience with a sea turtle swimming right in front of me. The sandbar itself didn't have as low tide as I expected, and it wasn't quite like the pictures, but the weather was nice, and the waves were calm, making it comfortable.
久しぶりのシュノーケルで緊張しましたが、浅瀬でのレクチャーがあり安心しました。ウミガメが目の前を泳いで良い体験できました。サンドバー自体は思ってたより潮がひかず、写真のイメージではなかったけど、お天気も良く波も穏やかで快適でした。

I decided to go skydiving with my friend and booked it here. Waking up early was tough, but the weather was great on the day, and both the instructor and the cameraman had a sense of humor, helping to ease our nerves. The view during the dive was stunning, with beautiful ocean scenery and a clear sight for miles—it was the best time. Watching the video with the friends I shared the Cessna with after the dive was also fun and filled with laughter. It was a truly wonderful experience.

We participated as a couple. The weather was clear on the day, and the views at each sightseeing spot were wonderful. Although there were few fish while snorkeling, a sea turtle appeared right in front of us! It was an emotional moment and became a lovely memory.
What was a bit disappointing was the guide. She was very high-energy, which surprised me (she might have been trying to entertain us, but...). She kept talking continuously, sharing various stories related to Hawaii, which was educational, but she also talked a lot about herself (like where she lived in the past—several countries—and her dislikes), and I found myself thinking, "I don't really care about you..." by the end. There was also a Japanese woman who seemed to live in Honolulu participating, and when she spoke with her, it felt like they were friends. For example, they talked at length about a menu item that is only available at Kentucky Fried Chicken in the U.S., saying, "I want to eat this when I die!" which felt a bit condescending to us who live in Japan and wouldn't know about that.
This woman seemed to be friends with the guide but didn't particularly contribute to the tour, making her role unclear. The guide mentioned several times, "If I'm told to swim, I'll swim anywhere, but I absolutely don't want to climb mountains!" However, there might have been participants who wanted to climb Diamond Head, and I thought she lacked a bit of sensitivity. At the end, she handed out business cards and explained, "Compliments go to VERTRA! Complaints to my email!" which felt a bit too much.
夫婦で参加しました。
当日は快晴で各観光スポットでの景色も素晴らしかったです。シュノーケリングでは魚は少なかったものの、ウミガメが目の前に現れました!感激し、素敵な思い出になりました。
少し残念だったのはガイドさんです。とてもテンションが高いかたで、ちょっと驚きました(楽しませてくれようとしていたのかもしれませんが、・・・)。彼女はずっとしゃべり続けで、いろいろなハワイに関わる話もしてくださり勉強になりましたが、ご自身の話(昔どこどこに済んでいたときに(数カ国ありました)・・とか、わたしはこれはきらい!等)も多く、「別にあなたのことは・・」と後半げんなりしました。また1名、ホノルル在住?の日本人女性が参加していたのですが、彼女と話すときは友人のような感じで、たとえば米ケンタッキーフライドチキンにしかないメニューについて長々と話し「死ぬときはこのメニューを食べる!」など、日本在住の私たちには知りようもない事で少し嫌みを感じました。
この1名参加の女性はガイドと友人みたいですが特にツアーに協力するでもなく立ち位置が不明でした。
ガイドさんは「私は泳げといわれれば何処までも泳ぐけど、山は絶対登りたくない!」と数回仰っていましたが、参加者の中にはダイアモンドヘッドに登るかたもいたかもしれませんし、少しデリカシーに欠けていると思いました。
最後には名刺を配られ、「お褒めコメントはVERTRAへ!クレームは私のメールへ!」と説明しており、あざとさも感じました。
I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable during the tour. This is my first negative review, so it is helpful for me. Receiving feedback like this gives me a good opportunity to reflect on myself, so I appreciate it.
I explained, "Compliments go to VERTRA! Complaints come to my email!" and I felt it was a bit over the top. It was a joke that everyone seemed to enjoy, but I learned that some people might feel differently, so thank you for that.
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed West Oahu!

If you want a typical Hawaiian luau this show is not for you. But if you enjoy music going as far back as the 1930's then this show is highly recommended. Most of the music was done by Elvis and Michael Jackson. The performers were great. The fire dance was great but was very short/limited. The performance was done indoors in a theater with theater seating which was great but again if you want to experience an outdoor luau this show is not for you.
The location of the show is in the heart of Waikiki Beach on the 4th floor of a mall. We drove from Marriott Ko olina Resort which is about 20 miles away and took is about 45 minutes to get to the show. So if you are planning to come from the Ko olina/Aulani Resort area plan to drive for 45-60 minutes. There is ample parking to self-park. The parking is free for the 1st 3 hours with validation. After the show you can walk around in the area for shopping. The check in experience was great and was very fast. All the workers were very helpful and hard working. The food was simple, tasty and healthy, especially the curry fish.
overall my family and I enjoyed this show and would recommend it to others.
My family and I had a great experience and would recommend this show.

Last year, I participated with my daughter and had so much fun that this time I joined with a friend who was visiting Hawaii for the first time. I signed her up as a surprise gift since she is a bit scared, but the fun was so overwhelming that she seemed to forget her fear and was really happy, asking to go to the front of the boat to take pictures. There were not many Japanese people, but the foreigners were lively, dancing and singing, which made it incredibly enjoyable. When we got off the boat, a wave came and soaked us up to our bottoms (^▽^;). I think it's better to have a towel. I would definitely like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.
昨年、娘と参加してとても楽しかったので今回はハワイ初の友人と参加させていただきました。少し怖がりの友人へサプライズプレゼントで申し込みしたのですが、あまりの楽しさに怖さもどこかへ行ってしまったのか自分から船の先頭へ行って写真撮って~と凄く喜んでいました。日本人は少ないですが、外人さん達がノリノリで踊ったり、歌ったりですっごく楽しかったです。

We participated for the first time as a family of three generations: parents, a couple, and children. Although we had reserved Golden Circle seats, it seems we were shown to regular seats. When it was time to eat, we were kept waiting, which made us anxious, so we asked, and it turned out we were not in the Golden Circle seats (the ray was cast over everyone).
In a hurry, we were finally guided to the actual Golden Circle seats, but the buffet had a long line. In the end, we ended up getting our food last, which was very disappointing. It seemed that we were supposed to receive select drink tickets at the beginning, but we were not given those tickets, so our drink orders were also delayed.
I had high hopes for this commemorative trip with my parents, but our enjoyment was halved. The show itself was entirely in English, but we were able to enjoy the atmosphere.
両親、夫婦、子供3世代で初めて参加しました。ゴールデンサークルを予約していたものの、案内されたのは普通の席だったようです。
食事を取る時に、待たされての案内だったので、不安になって聞いてみると、ゴールデンサークルの席ではないとの事。(レイは全員にかけられました。)
慌てて本来のゴールデンサークル席に案内されたものの、ビュッフェは長蛇の列。結局最後の方に食事を取るような形で大変残念でした。
セレクトドリンクのチケットも最初にもらえるようでしたが、そのチケットも渡されていなかったので、ドリンクオーダーも遅くなりました。

Additionally, during the meal, I was able to enjoy ukulele performances and dance close to my seat. After that, we moved to the show venue, and we had seats right in the middle of the second floor! It was very easy to see. The show included rock music, hula, and fire dancing, and I was able to enjoy it all the way to the end without getting bored.

First, we boarded a boat from the dock near Hilton Hawaiian Village and headed offshore, where the views from the boat were excellent. There was a shop on board, so we didn't get bored. At the offshore point, we could see a submarine surfacing. The weather was calm on the day of our participation, and the view from inside the submarine was great. Thanks to our guide, who was fluent in Japanese, we had a wonderful time. While it might not be enough for those who are serious about scuba diving, I think it's a tour that can be enjoyed by everyone else.
まずはヒルトンハワイアンビレッジ近くの乗船場から船に乗り沖合へ行きますが、この船からの眺めが非常に良いです。船内にはショップがあり退屈しません。沖合のポイントでは潜水艦の浮上を見ることができます。参加当日は天気も穏やかで潜水艦内からの眺めも良く、また日本語が流暢なガイドさんのおかげで楽しく過ごせました。本格的にスキューバダイビングをする人には物足りないかもしれませんが、そうでなければ十分楽しめるツアーだと思います。

The driver provided explanations in Japanese throughout the journey to the location. The waiver seemed to be a direct translation from English, which made me a bit uneasy about the explanation, but since I had to sign it to be able to fly, I felt there was no choice.
Once we arrived, we received instructions from the instructor in both English and some Japanese (words), which was manageable. However, the training was not comprehensive; it only covered a few points of caution and explanations of body positions during takeoff, in the air, and landing. I was left wondering if that was really all we needed.
The instructor was very kind, and I felt no anxiety. There was also a handsome instructor! When jumping from the plane, it happens in an instant without any chance to hesitate. After taking off, it seems that the services and flying styles during free fall and parachute descent vary greatly depending on the instructor. I was even allowed to operate the parachute!
There were many Japanese participants, which made it easy to bond with others and was very reassuring. We also booked a photographer, and everyone enjoyed watching the video together, which was a lot of fun!
You can see all of Oahu and truly recognize that the Earth is round! This experience offers unforgettable memories that you can't have in Japan, so I highly recommend participating!
現地までの間ドライバー、ビデオにて終始日本語で説明がありました。誓約書は英語を直訳してあるようで説明に不安がありましたが、やるからにはサインしなくては飛べないので仕方ない感じです。

We participated in the tour on June 24 with five people. Although the pickup was early in the morning, the staff's fun talks and the detailed explanations of the tour were appreciated. Once on the boat, the captain and the friendly crew naturally brought smiles to our faces. We swam with dolphins at the two locations they guided us to, and both times we encountered dolphins, which was an emotional and thrilling moment. We also saw sea turtles several times at the surface. This was my first dolphin tour, but thanks to the enjoyable guidance from the staff, as well as the boat burgers and hula dancing, we had a wonderful time. If I come to Hawaii again, I will definitely join this tour without hesitation. Thank you to everyone at Dolphin & You.
6月24日のツアーに5人で参加しました。朝早いピックアップでしたが、スタッフ皆さんの楽しいトークやツアーの説明には丁寧さも感じました。船に乗船してからもキャプテンをはじめ楽しくて親切なスタッフクルーに笑顔が自然に出ておりました。イルカは二回ほど案内して頂いた場所で泳ぎましたが、二回ともイルカに出逢え感動と感激の瞬間を味合うことが出来ました。海亀も海面上で何回も出逢えました。今回は初めてのイルカツアーでしたが、スタッフ皆さんの楽しい引率や船上バーガー・フラダンスなど、楽しい時間を過ごさせて頂来ました。またハワイに来たら迷わすツアーに参加させて頂きます。ドルフィン&ユーの皆様有難うございました。
Thank you for your happy comments! We look forward to seeing you next time. Please come to meet the dolphins and us!
嬉しいコメントありがとうございます!是非次回もお待ちしています。イルカと私たちに会いに来てください!

When my friends decided to go to the place where the turtles are, I ended up feeling unwell and had to return to the beach. However, the guide handled everything smoothly, and my friend was able to avoid getting sick. I feel really sorry for causing trouble to everyone, but I am truly grateful to the guide. Thank you for the enjoyable time.
友達が亀がいる場所にさあ行くぞ!っとなった時に体調が悪くなってしまい砂浜に戻ることになってしまいましたが、段取りよく対処してくださり友達もリバースを免れました。ただ皆に迷惑をかけてしまって申し訳なさいっぱいですが、ガイドさんについては本当に感謝の気持ちいっぱいです。楽しい時間をありがとうございました。
Chiro, thank you for joining the tour with your friend. The tide was low that day, and the water was clear, so we enjoyed a leisurely fish-watching experience in the shallow waters. The schools of striped surgeonfish were beautiful, weren't they? Recently, turtles haven't been coming into the inside area, so we have to search further out, but your friend got seasick along the way. I'm really sorry for making you swim so much. Next time, please take some motion sickness medication beforehand, and let's go on a turtle search for a rematch! I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
チロさん、この度はお友達とお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。この日は引き潮でお水も綺麗でしたから、浅瀬をずーっとゆっくりお魚ウォッチングな感じでした。シマハギの群れが綺麗でしたね。最近はインサイドには亀が入ってきてくれないので沖まで探しに行くのですが、お友達は途中で波酔いしてしまったんですよね。いっぱい泳がせてしまってゴメンなさい。是非次回は事前に酔い止めを飲んできていただいて、リベンジで亀を探しに行きましょう!!またお会いできるのを楽しみに待っております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

As I cautiously lowered my feet into the transparent sea, they touched the pure white grains of coral, and I found myself in a warm, quiet, and pleasant world. The turtles are not allowed to be touched, but they swam surprisingly close, providing an experience that far surpassed any aquarium visit. The Japanese staff accompanied us, offering explanations, services, and meals without any inconvenience, and they kept us smiling and entertained throughout. I found myself wishing to work here and would love to visit again.
透き通る海におそるおそる足を下ろすと真っ白なサンゴの粒に足が着き、温かく静かで気持ちのいい世界がそこにはありました。
タートルウォッチは自ら触る事は許されませんが、驚くほど近くまで遊泳してくれ、水族館など比較にならないほどの体験をさせてもらいました。
日本人スタッフも同行してくれており、現地での説明やサービス、食事まで何一つ不自由のなく、終始笑顔で楽しませてくれました。ここで働きたいわと思ってしまうような環境でまた利用させてもらいたいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you so much for enjoying the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. Yasu's title, "I underestimated the ocean fun in Hawaii," is truly flattering. I'm really happy to hear you say that. Please come back and visit us again! By the way, we're also looking for staff! (laughs) We look forward to seeing you.
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアー楽しんでいただいて本当にありがとうございます。
Yasu様の「ハワイの海遊び舐めてました」ってタイトル、、、、恐れ入ります。そう言っていただいて本当に嬉しいです。またぜひ遊びにいらしてくださいね。
ちなみにスタッフも募集中です!(笑) お待ちしてます。

I participated this time because I wanted to see sea turtles. It seems that it was a day with waves, and we couldn't meet sea turtles even after going to various points, but the guide took us to different places, and we finally got to see sea turtles and swim close to them! If it weren't for the guide, we wouldn't have been taken to places we wouldn't normally go, and I'm really glad I made this request. We also got to take photos, and those photos could be saved for free, which truly became the best memory! Thank you so much!
今回、ウミガメに会いたくて参加しました。当日は波がある日だったらしく、色々なポイントに行ってもなかなかウミガメに会えなかったのですが、ガイドさんが色々連れて行ってくれて、ついにウミガメに会うことができ、近くで泳ぐことができました!ガイドさんがいなかったら、なかなか行かないとこまで連れていってもらえて、本当に今回お願いしてよかったと思いました。写真も撮ってもらえ、その写真も無料で保存でき、本当に最高の思い出になりました♡本当にありがとうございました♡

By booking this tour, even if you're not a VIP, you can see from the front row on the second floor, which was great! ✨ However, if you want to be in the front row, be careful to line up early after finishing your meal. ⚠
このツアーから予約すると、VIPじゃなくても、2階の最前列で見れるのでよく見れました✨ただ、最前列に行きたければ食事を済ませたら、早く並ばないといけないので注意⚠
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。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。

I participated after reading the reviews! The same Japanese staff guided us from the bus to the snorkeling, which made me feel at ease! They were also knowledgeable about dolphins and took us to a spot where we could see a lot of them, so I was able to swim with the dolphins perfectly!
クチコミを見て、参加しました!バスのガイドから、シュノーケルのガイドまで同じ日本人スタッフの方がやってくださり、安心しました!また、イルカに詳しく、大量に見れるポイントで潜らせてくれたのでバッチリイルカと泳ぐことが出来ました!
Aloha Anonymous,

It was fun. The tide was low, and we were able to see sea turtles. The food was average. You can check the low tide using an American app, so I recommend checking the date and time in advance. Also, if you want to drink beer, I suggest bringing your own.
楽しかったです。ちょうど潮も干潮で、ウミガメも見れました。食べ物は普通。アメリカのアプリで干潮が調べれれますので、日にち・時間は事前にチェックをお勧めします。また、ビールを飲みたい方は持参をお勧めします。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing various information. I look forward to your participation again!
アロハ!いろいろと情報シェアありがとうございます。
ぜひまたご参加の際もよろしくお願いします!!

This time I opted for a private lesson. I had the same coach as last time, and I was able to enjoy a relaxed one-on-one lesson. Luckily, I even got to take a photo with a sea turtle! I couldn't help but buy the image CD as well. Waikiki Beach has gentle waves, so beginners can enjoy stand-up paddleboarding too.
今回はプライベートレッスンにしました。前回と同じコーチで、マンツーマンでのんびりレッスンできました。運良くウミガメともツーショット撮れました!思わず画像CDも買っちゃった。ワイキキビーチは波も穏やかで、初心者でもSAP楽しめますよ。
