Oahu
The snorkeling place is good! So many fishes! Turtle view is fine as we are a bit far from those turtles and we can only see their head for a second when they come out of water for air. The sandbar itself is good too, but not sure what to do with it except playing volleyball.
What an amazing experience! You will not regret taking this excursion. People are beyond friendly and helpful and they really make it a pleasant experience. Sandbar was beautiful and snorkeling was really fun. Would do again for sure!
This was an outstanding tour and I learned a lot about the Hawaiian culture from the guide. He was funny and just one of the nicest persons I have met.
Had a great time! Played volleyball on the sandbar for about an hour while the water was about 2.5 feet deep. Had a good hearty lunch with hamburgers, baked beans, pineapple, and a bag of chips. Boat then toured us over an area where sea turtles usually are. We saw well over 2 dozen, some were on the small side and some were massive in size. Boat moved over to the moon shaped reef where we snorkled for about an hour. Saw many tropical fish.
.Wear lots of sunblock and reapply.
Ample parking and easy to find.
First, the crew was amazing! They were so helpful and made sure we were well equipped to enjoy every minute we were on this adventure. I was so excited to see the dolphins- I started hyperventilating a little as I was swimming toward the cree member that was finding the dolphin pods for our group. I didn’t want to cause a fuss or embarrass myself - so I just tried to calm myself and was promptly helped by another crew member who saw me and helped me to relax and calm my breathing so I could continue swimming. After watching the dolphins for several minutes under the water- they started showing off for us and jumping out of the water. It was thrilling. We stayed in the water for 20-30 min it seemed and I was amazed by the beauty of it all. Then we all returned to the boat - and we’re offered snacks and water and we traveled to a reef where we got back into the water and saw many fish and a sea turtle and snorkeled around looking at all the sea life as the captain anchored the boat and crew members inflated a large slide on the boat. The photographers were very attentive- and if you paid for a photo package- they made sure they took every picture possible of you. I’m 51 and I had a blast on the slide along with my daughter who is 19. Finally, when it was time to go- we were offered food again as the crew entertained us with dancing and music all the way back to shore. We returned to our hotel by 1pm (6 hours after the start) WORTH EVERY PENNY!! We crashed the rest of the day having had so much fun! THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!
We couldn’t” be happier with the whole adventure. Relaxing, exciting, entertaining, and educational all in one trip. We were fortunate to have everything we expected. We learned to snorkel. We saw many beautiful fish while in the water, attracting many by using the fish food we bought and scattering it around. While on board we learned a bit about the Catamaran we were on and how it was sailed. The sights were identified and all our questions were answered by the knowledgeable seaman. They offered many fun facts as well along the way. They were alway alert to our needs, assuring that we had fun and stayed safe. When the dolphins appeared, the nature and habits of the creatures were discussed, The differences between the type of dolphin following the boat and other dolphins was made. We were fortunate enough to have a sea turtle come and check us out as well. The people we had on board with us were friendly and polite and enjoyed the trip as well. I heard no complaints from anyone. I would recommend this company for this adventure to anyone who wants to have a fun snorkeling trip with a great crew, and an adventure that is safe and informative.
It was so nice to just jump on the bus and let Frank tell us about the history. He was an amazing tour guide and there was no stress of knowing where to go. He was very professional and kind. He was also very knowledgeable.
The experience on this trip was amazing. We are avid snorkelers and love the ocean and animals so our expectations were high. The crew was friendly, fun, kind, (even when we had to be reminded of the safety rules because we got a bit excited when we saw the dolphins) professional, talented and explained the rules and safety precautions very well. We saw a large pod of dolphins as we swam in the bluest of water, sighted whales, snorkeled with tropical fish and two turtles and cruised down the gorgeous West coast listening to Hawaiian music. Magical. Group tours have there frustrations because of the number of people trying to see things at the same time but as far as group tours go this was one of the best we have done! We appreciated the Aloha we received from all the crew! You will not regret going on this trip! Mahalo to all the crew and Tommy who greeted us on the docks.
Crew was super friendly and nice. Really enjoyed it!
Thank you for being so organized, making the day fun and easy for my kids and giving them great memories! We will return.
In the morning, we were picked up at our hotel and taken by van to pick up other customers for the day. The driver and instructor was a Japanese-Brazilian man who had lived in Japan, so it was nice to chat with him during the ride. There were three of us participating, and one person was able to switch from kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding, which was helpful. Once we got out to sea, the guidance and advice about the current points and areas to be cautious of were accurate, allowing us to feel safe while riding. Carrying the boards and kayaks by ourselves was quite hard, but overall, we had a great time. For lunch, we could choose from the shop within the facility. Last time we had pizza, and this time we had a plate lunch. There was also a shop for marine goods, and during our free time, we could go shopping in Kailua.
朝は滞在のホテルまでピックUPしてもらえ、バンで次々とその日のお客様をピックアップです。
ドライバー兼インストラクターの男性は日本での生活歴のある日系の方でしたので道中も話しながら向かうことが出来たので良かったです。
三人で参加したのですが、一人カヤックからSUPにしていただけたので助かりました。
海に出てからも流れのポイントや注意する場所では声がけとアドバイスも的確で安心して乗れました。
自分でボードやカヤックを運ぶのは結構ハードでしたが、ひっくるめて楽しく過ごせました。
ランチも施設内のショップで選ぶことが出来ます。
前回はピザ、今回はプレートランチ、マリングッズのショップもあり、フリータイムにはカイルアにショッピングも可能です。
It was a gorgeous view of the ranch. Our tour guides Dean and Kayla were very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great experience for our entire family. The lunch was hearty and even filled up our big eaters!! Well done, we will certainly recommend this to travelers.
They accommodated my sudden reservation regarding Hawaii. The sandbar had amazing transparency. The BBQ hamburger I had for lunch was freshly made and very delicious. The boat was also clean and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.
ハワイについてからの急な予約に対応してくださいました。
サンドバーは透明度がすごく最高でした。
ランチでいただいたBBQハンバーガーはできたてで、とてもおいしかったです。
船もきれいで快適でした。
素敵な体験ができました。
Ten of us participated, ranging from my 5-year-old grandchild to 60 years old.
In Japan, where safety is a top priority, my 5-year-old grandchild was probably not allowed to ride a horse alone, but here, they were able to ride by themselves and were very satisfied!
We enjoyed horseback riding at our own levels, just relaxing as a family on the ranch.
Of course, communication was a challenge since Japanese was not spoken, but it was a refreshing experience for the grandchildren, which was great.
5歳の孫から60歳までの10人で参加しました
安全第一の日本ではまず乗馬させてもらえないであろう
5歳の孫も1人で馬に乗り大満足!
のんびり家族だけで牧場内をそれぞれのレベルで
乗馬を楽しむ事が出来ました
ただ、当然ですが日本語は通じませんでしたが
孫たちにとっては新鮮な体験でよっかたです
It was raining from the morning, but miraculously, it cleared up at the sandbar. ☀️ I played volleyball with the staff, and the cold was blown away. The hamburgers for lunch were also hearty and delicious. My child spilled hot cocoa and got burned, but they quickly helped cool it down with ice and even lent us some ointment, which was really helpful. Thanks to the friendly and cheerful staff, we had a wonderful day.
その日は朝から雨だったのですが、サンドバーは奇跡的に晴れ☀️
スタッフの方とバレーボールをし 寒さも吹っ飛びました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーも ボリューミーで
美味しかったです
子供が ホットココアをこぼし、やけどしたのですが
すぐに氷で冷やして下さり 軟膏まで貸してくださって 本当に助かりました。フレンドリーで陽気なスタッフのお陰で楽しい1日が過ごせまた。
Great time, great fun, great crew. Nice boat for this trip and we enjoyed our time on water. Thanks for a great crew, and just a slow down time to enjoy Hawaii. I will do this trip again next time I'm here. Thanks again. Captain Jerry in Texas.
My my what can I say about Captain Bobs?! I have now gone on Captain Bobs Adventure 3 times now!! Everytime I have visited Hawaii, I have taken new friends and family to experience this amazing tour that is fun filled for all ages. The crew is exceptionally welcoming and entertaining and it is just one of the best experiences I've had in Hawaii.
You can either get picked up by their shuttle or drive yourself to the pickup spot and your day goes from about 10:30-3:00pm give or take. They continue the tour rain or shine so if the weather seems kind of gloomy, be sure to take a light rain coat! The first two times I went the weather was nice and sunny, however the last time I went there were scattered showers that were on and off throughout the whole tour. It did get a little chilly but once you're swimming in the water it's not so bad.
My favorite part of Captain Bobs is the Sandbar part where you get to play volleyball, stand in the middle of the ocean, and eat some delicious burgers, beans, and nachos after! You get to see a bunch of sea turtles swimming while on the way to the Snorkeling area and then you get to snorkel among the reef, Since it got kind of chilly after they even gave us hot chocolate/tea!
My recommendations are: bring sunglasses, towel, light rain jacket, water shoes, underwater phone case to take photos, snacks, and most of all, bring your A game to play volleyball!
First of all, if you are thinking about swimming with dolphins, it's better to refrain from participating. You will only be able to see the dolphins swimming on the ocean floor from above, and that lasts just a moment.
To catch that brief glimpse, you will be waiting on the boat for a long time. However, the excitement and sense of achievement when you finally see them is incredible. I was thrilled.
You will be swimming tirelessly to reach the dolphins' location, so it can be tiring. But it's fun. You must have the determination to see the dolphins. Once everyone has seen them, there will be free time with activities like a slide, which is very enjoyable.
By the way, I heard that on the previous day's tour, they weren't able to see any dolphins, so it can depend on luck. Also, it gets cold on the way back, so don't forget to bring a jacket. I think it's a good idea to change out of your swimsuit in the restroom as well.
まずはじめにらイルカと一緒に泳げるとかと思ってる方は、参加をご遠慮したほうが良いです。
イルカが海底で泳いでいる姿を上から眺める程度です。それも一瞬です。
この一瞬を見るためひたすら船の上で待機です。その分、見れたときの感動や達成感はすごかったです。興奮してました。
ただイルカがいる位置までひたすら泳ぐので、疲れます。でも楽しいです。絶対イルカ見てやるという気持ちでひたすら泳がなければなりません。全員が見れたら、スベり台など自由時間となります。とても楽しいです。
ちなみに、前日のツアーではイルカを見ることができなかったと言ってましたので、運にも左右されます。
こちらのツアーも帰りは寒いので上着などは忘れずに。トイレで水着から着替えるのも良いかと思います。
This was my fourth dolphin tour. This time, I participated with my son and his wife. After hearing my stories, they were both eager to go and looking forward to it. The waves were calm, the temperature was pleasantly warm, and we were blessed with great weather, which was completely different from last time. The number of dolphins we encountered was by far the highest this time! The clarity of the water was also the best it has ever been! We saw a lot of fish too! My son and his wife were very satisfied and said they would definitely go again next time. I've participated multiple times, and the staff has always been very nice. The tour bus seems to get more luxurious every time I join (laughs). I definitely want to participate again, no, I will participate!!
今回で4回目のイルカツアーでした。
今回は息子夫婦と3人で参加しました。
私の話を聞いて、二人とも絶対行きたいと、楽しみにしていました。
波も穏やかで、気温も程よく暖かく、前回とは全く違って天気に恵まれました。
イルカと会えた数、今回がダントツで一番でした!
海の透明度も今回が最高でした!魚もたくさん見れました!
息子たちも大満足で、次回も絶対に行くと言っていました。
何回も参加していますが、スタッフの方もとてもいい感じです。
ツアーのバスは参加する度にリッチになっていますね(笑)
またぜひ参加したいと思います、いえ、参加します!!
I was able to see dolphins! It was moving to see them jumping. The hamburger I had as a light snack was also really delicious!
イルカみることができました!飛び跳ねるところもみれて感動でした。また軽食のハンバーガーも本当に美味しかったです!
Thank you for a wonderful day, filled with great family memories! The staff was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area. The food was tasty! We enjoyed all the picturesque views from the sand bar. The snorkeling was safe. I was one of the last passengers in the water and I was still able to spot a great amount of marine life! Overall this activity was a family favorite!
It had been raining since I arrived in Hawaii, but finally, it was sunny on this day! Although the water clarity wasn't great due to the continuous rain until the day before, I really enjoyed the beautiful ocean! I was also happy to encounter a lot of sea turtles.
ハワイきてからはずっと雨でしたが、この日はようやくの晴れ!
前日まで雨が降り続いたことで透明度は高くなかったみたいですが、キレイな海満喫しました!
ウミガメもいっぱい遭遇できて良かったです。
It was mid-March. Since the mornings are early, the sea is still cold and chilly. The boat also sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to consider taking some medication. We were able to see a lot of wild dolphins. I was really happy because I don't think there are many opportunities to see them. Although the mornings are early, the tour ends in the morning, so you can relax and fully enjoy Hawaii in the afternoon.
3月中旬でした。朝が早いのでまだ海は冷たく寒いですね。
船も結構揺れますので酔いやすい人は酔い止め等の対応を考えた方がよいと思います。
野生のイルカはたくさん見れました。なかなか見る機会はないと思うので嬉しかったですね。
朝は早いですが午前中で終わりますので、昼からもゆっくりできてハワイを満喫できます。
Since this was my first trip to Hawaii, I made a reservation for a tour that I thought would be enjoyable. The bus picked me up and dropped me off at the hotel, which was very helpful. The itinerary included a lot of activities like turtle watching, Angel's Sea, and snorkeling, which was great. I was worried about snorkeling since I'm not very fluent in English, but they provided a full set of equipment for us, and being with many other Japanese people made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it. At Angel's Sea, the tour guide took a lot of photos and was a wonderful person with a great sense of service, which made me very satisfied! Also, they grilled hamburgers for lunch on the boat, and it was very delicious. I think families with children can enjoy this as well, as the Japanese tour guide took care of small kids during snorkeling. It was a great experience that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own! I highly recommend this for anyone looking to have a fulfilling day!
初めてハワイに旅行に行くので、楽しめるツアーをと思い予約しました。バスがホテルまで送り迎えしてくれるのでとても助かりました。内容もウミガメウォッチング、天使の海、シュノーケリングと盛り沢山で良かったです。シュノーケリングは英語も堪能ではないので心配しておりましたが、セットをフルでを貸し出してくださり、多くの日本人と一緒なので安心して楽しむことができました。天使の海では添乗員の方がたくさん写真を撮ってくださりサービス精神のあふれる素敵な方でとても満足です!またお昼も船上でハンバーグを焼いて下さりとても美味しかったです。日本人の添乗員の方がシュノーケリングの際に小さな子供の子守をしてくださったりしていたので、お子様のいるご家族でも楽しめると思います。自分ではなかなかできない体験ができ、とても良かったです!充実した一日にしたい方には是非おすすめです!
I thought that seeing sea turtles while watching them would be a matter of luck, but I was so happy to see many of them. While snorkeling near the coral reefs, the sea turtles really swam right by me and underneath me, which was incredibly moving. Although the sea of angels didn't have a blue sky, the clarity was wonderful, and I really felt it was worth coming!
ウミガメウォッチングは見れたらラッキー程度のものかと思っていましたが、沢山見れて嬉しかったです。サンゴ礁付近でのシュノーケリングはウミガメが本当に自分の近くや真下を通っていき、凄く感動しました。天使の海は青空とまではいきませんでしたが素晴らしい透明度で、やっぱりきて良かったと思いました!
The weather was nice and very beautiful! There was a Japanese instructor who really got everyone excited. First, we anchored the boat in shallow water (about knee to waist deep) and had some time to take photos and practice snorkeling. After that, we moved to a larger coral reef area (a spot that was a bit deeper and had a faster current) to snorkel. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles. When diving into the sea, they provide bread as bait. If you hold that, a lot of fish will come close, so it's a great photo opportunity! The day after heavy rain, the water was a bit murky, but it was still very beautiful.
天気が良くとっても綺麗でした!
日本人インストラクターの方がいて、盛り上げてくれます。
まず浅瀬(膝から腰くらいまで)に船をつけてくれ、写真を撮ったりシュノーケルの練習をする時間があります。
その後に移動し、大きいサンゴ礁のところ(若干流れが早く深い場所)に行き、シュノーケルをします。運が良ければ亀と泳げます。
海に潜る際には餌としてパンを渡してくれます。
それを持っているといっぱい魚が寄ってくるので、シャッターチャンスです!
この日は大雨の次の日だったため、少し水が濁っていましたが、それでもとっても綺麗でした。
I had a great time spending it with the fun crew and captain. My partner is not fond of cheese, and when we requested a cheeseless hamburger, they kindly prepared it separately, which we really appreciated. I would love to participate again. We were lucky to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales!
クルーやキャプテン楽しい皆さんと一緒に
過ごせ楽しかったです。
パートナーがチーズ苦手でハンバーガーチーズ抜きを依頼していたら、ちゃーんと個別にしてくまさったり、そんな配慮も嬉しかったです。
また、参加したいです。
イルカに亀にクジラに運よく見れました〜
Every aspect of the snorkel, Sandbar, volleyball, crew was amazing. Highly recommend.
While I was on the boat, the wind was quite cold, but once we reached the sandbar, I was so captivated by the scenery that I forgot about the cold! The water was incredibly clear and beautiful, truly like paradise! It was a famous spot featured on TV and in magazines, so I wanted to experience it at least once, which is why I joined this tour! The guide's stories were really interesting and they were very kind, making the time on the boat a lot of fun! When we arrived at the sandbar, I asked for some photos, and they happily took many for me, even teaching me various poses, which made for wonderful memories! After that, we went turtle watching, and they pointed out where the sea turtles were. I was so moved to see wild sea turtles for the first time. Seeing so many floating turtles was incredibly cute! Afterward, we were served a hamburger lunch, and having lunch on the boat while looking at the sea was the best! It was super delicious!!! I also got to see a lot of fish up close while snorkeling, which felt amazing! It was absolutely fantastic! The weather was a bit chilly, so when I got back on the boat from the sea, it was very cold, but they provided warm drinks, which helped a lot. We got to visit the sandbar, see sea turtles, have lunch on the boat, and snorkel, and the staff were all friendly and kind, making it truly an exceptional tour! I was really happy to have so many experiences on my first trip to Hawaii! I definitely want to join this tour again in the summer or when it's warm! Experiencing the kindness of the people in Hawaii and the beauty of the sea was amazing! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii! If I have friends going to Hawaii, I would definitely want to recommend this tour! I was really happy to participate in such a wonderful tour! Thank you very much! I definitely want to join again!!
船に乗っている時は、風が冷たくて結構寒かったのですが、サンドバーについたら、寒さも忘れるくらい景色に見入ってしまいました!水がすごく透き通っていて、とても綺麗で本当に天国みたいでした!テレビや雑誌などで有名な場所だったので一度は行ってみたくてこのツアーに参加させていただきました!ツアーの方のお話もすごく面白くて、とても優しくて、船に乗っている間もすごく楽しかったです!サンドバーについたときには、お願いをしたら、快く写真をたくさん撮ってくれて、ポーズまで色々教えてくれて、とても素敵な記念になりました!そのあと、ウミガメウォッチングも、ウミガメがいる方向を教えてくれました。はじめて野生のウミガメを見ることが出来てすごく感動しました。プカプカ浮いてるウミガメをたくさん見れてめちゃくちゃ可愛かったです。そのあとは、ハンバーガーのランチを出していただき、海を眺めながら船乗って食べるランチは最高でした!めちゃくちゃ美味しかったです!!!シュノーケルも沢山近くで魚が見れてすごく気持ち良かったです!めちゃくちゃ最高すぎました!気候的にも少し寒かったので、海から船に上がった時はとても寒かったのですが、あったかいドリンクを出してくれて、すごくあったまりました。サンドバーにも行けて、ウミガメも見れて、船の上でランチも食べれて、シュノーケルもできて、スタッフさん達もみんなノリが良くて優しくて本当に至れり尽くせりの最高のツアーでした!はじめてのハワイで、ここまで沢山の体験ができたことは本当に幸せでした!また、是非このツアーで、夏とかあったかいときにまた参加したいなと思いました!!ハワイの方々の優しさと、海の綺麗さに触れられて、最高でした!ハワイ旅行の中でも一番の最高の思い出になりました!周りにハワイに行く友人がいたら、是非紹介したいなと思います!本当に、素敵なツアーに参加できてすごく嬉しかったです!ありがとうございました!また是非参加したいと思います!!
I was worried about the rain when I heard it was the rainy season, but it turned out to be a great experience! There were many participants, and we went with two boats—one was just for Japanese people, and the other had participants from various countries (including Japanese), so even those who are not confident in English can enjoy it. We saw a lot of sea turtles, and the hamburgers were very delicious and amazing!
雨期ときいて雨が心配でしたが、それ以上にいい体験ができたツアーでした!参加者が多く、船2隻でいきましたがひとつは日本人だけ、もう一つは国際的にさまざな国から(日本人もok)の参加者の船でしたので英語が不安な方も楽しめます。ウミガメもたくさんみれましたし、ハンバーガーもとても美味しくて最高でした!
