When I went to the harbor, there was a large cruise ship docked, and just seeing it made my heart race with excitement. I opted for a simple whale watching plan, but the breakfast buffet also looked delicious.

For the first hour, we couldn't see any whales or even dolphins. The upper deck felt quite shaky, and since we couldn't see any whales, the kids started to feel seasick and were complaining about wanting to go back because they were scared of the rocking (I think motion sickness medication is a must).

I thought we might not see anything today, so I went down to the first-floor deck and relaxed in a chair. Suddenly, we spotted a mother and calf whale off Waikiki Beach! For about 30 minutes, we were able to watch them spout water and leap dramatically out of the water with their tails.

The kids, who had been grumbling, were suddenly thrilled and seemed very satisfied with the cruise. Winter in Hawaii can often be cold for pools and beaches, so I really recommend whale watching!

港に行くと大きなクルーズ船が停泊していて、それを見ただけでも心躍る気分でした。
シンプルなホエールウオッチングだけのプランにしたのですが、朝食ブュッフェも美味しそうでした。
始めの1時間ほどはクジラどころかイルカも見えず。屋上デッキは結構揺れが感じられ、クジラも見えないし子供たちは船酔いしてきたかも…とか、揺れるの怖いから帰りたい…とかグズグズでした（酔い止め薬は必須かと思います）
こちらも今日は見えないのかもと1階デッキまで降りて椅子に座りながらのんびりと過ごしていたら、ワイキキビーチ沖で親子のクジラ発見！30分ほどの時間ゆっくりと何度も潮吹きや尾びれをダイナミックに水上に跳ね上がる姿を見ることができました。
グズグズしていた子供たちも一気に大興奮で大満足のクルーズになったようです。
冬のハワイはプールやビーチも寒い時が多いのでホエールウオッチングは本当にオススメです！

I really liked how this whale watch cruise kept you entertained the whole time. Unfortunately we didn't spot too many whales on the day I went, but the cruise experience itself was still really nice. The lunch buffet was good and fresh. Then they offered activities to do while on board, like hula lessons, lei making, and ukulele lessons, which makes this the perfect cruise for families with little ones. These activities weren't just for kids though, many of the adults were participating too. It was great to be able to roam around the entire boat and getting to see the whales from the top deck, which is a lot higher than any of the other whale watch cruises!

When I got onto the boat the weather didn't seem so nice and I thought it was going to be gloomy but as the boat departed the weather started to clear up and it was blue skies! The view from the boat was amazing. The island looked so beautiful from a far. I've been living here my whole life and I never realized how beautiful it was. The food they provided on the boat was very delicious. If I wasn't so full I would have definitely gone back for more. Sadly, I was not lucky enough to have spotted any whales, however, I did get to see spout a couple of times. Even though I wasn't lucky enough to spot any whales I was still very entertained. The music and activities they provided on the boat was so much fun. I got out of my comfort zone to participate in hula dancing. I was super embarrassed but I still had a lot of fun. I would definitely want to go back again and bring my family on this tour.

It was great. The dancing was awesome and the food was great. One of the best Luau's I've been to.

It was great. Saw lots of whales and got lots of pictures. Awesome ship as well.

It was great. Saw lots of fish and a sea turtle. Was hoping to see a Whale, but they were gone on the day we went.

It was great. The show was great and so was the food.

This is my second time at Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Pacific. No matter how many times I go, I always want to return to this paradise. This time, the depth of the ocean was high, and the water's clarity was lacking, which was a bit disappointing. However, I believe I can't miss Paradise of the Pacific on my next trip to Hawaii.

これで2回目の、キャプテン・ブルース　天国の海です。
何度行っても，また行きたいなと思う天国の海です。
今回は、海の深さが高く、海水の透明感が無かったので少し残念でしたが、
次回のハワイ旅行も、天国の海は外せないと思います。

I participated with my 3-year-old and 5-year-old children. The staff were very attentive, and we all had a great time! However, swimming with the dolphins was still a bit difficult for the kids, so we watched from the boat. Even for adults, it can be tough if you're not used to swimming. If you're confident in your swimming skills, it's amazing to see the dolphins swimming around up close multiple times!

There are also plenty of fun activities like slides, kayaking, cheeseburgers, and hula dancing! One suggestion would be to have smaller gear sizes available for the kids.

3歳と5歳の子供を連れての参加でした。
ずっと面倒見の良い方ばかりでみんなで楽しむことができました！！ただ、イルカと一緒に泳ぐのは子供達にはまだ難しかったです。船上で見ていました。
大人でも泳がなければならないので慣れていないとキツイです。泳ぎに自信があれば間近でイルカが何度も泳ぎ回るので最高です^ ^
それ以外にも滑り台やカヤック、チーズバーガーにフラダンスと楽しむポイントはたくさんです！！
注文としては子供達のギアのサイズももう少し小さい物を用意してほしいです。

From the pickup location, we took a bus to board at Honolulu Harbor, where the captain welcomed us. If you look up a little, you can see other cruise ships and planes in the sky (these are passenger planes from Honolulu Airport). As we departed the resort, we headed towards Waikiki while passing container ships, resort ships, and Coast Guard vessels. Just this alone gives you a feeling of being on a sightseeing cruise.

From here, we went to a point where whales are known to be, waiting for them to surface for air. I didn't know this myself, but whales don't stay at the surface all the time, and they don't go to various places just to be found. We went out to the side of the boat and searched for whales. But don't worry! When a whale appears, they announce it over the loudspeaker in a clockwise direction. It's okay if you're not good at English. People will quickly move to the right or left. Once a whale dives, it won't surface for more than 20 minutes, so even if you see one, you might not see it multiple times. I was lucky enough to see them twice this time. However, there is a law called the 100-yard rule (keeping a distance of over 100 yards from the whales), so you can't see them up close. When I saw them the second time, one happened to surface right next to the boat, making it look huge. (In this case, the rule is to turn off the engine to avoid harming the whale.) You won't necessarily see them every time. It's best to book on a sunny day according to Hawaii's weather forecast.

ピィクアップ場所から バスでホノルルハーバーに乗船時に 船長が出迎えくれ顔を少し上げれば 他のクルーズ船 空には飛行機(ホノルル空港旅客機です)と 正に
ザ リゾート 出港すると コンテナ船 リゾート船 コートガードの船見ながら ワイキキ沖を目指します。これだけでも遊覧船気分です。ここからクジラのいるポイントに行き クジラが息継ぎで 海面に現れるをまちます。私自身知らなかったのですが クジラはずっと海面居るわけではなく クジラを追い求めて色々な場所に 行くわけでは ありません。船の側舷に出て ひたすら クジラを探します。でも 心配しないでください。クジラが現れると時計回りの方向を館内放送してくれます。英語が苦手でも大丈夫です。人が一気に右や左に移動します。１度潜ると20分以上 浮上しないため クジラに会えても 何回も見られ訳ではありません。私は今回 2回会えました。ただ 法律で １００ヤードルールがあるらしく(クジラとの距離を100ヤード以上離す)間近で見られ訳ではありません。２回目合えた時 たまたま 船の直ぐ側に浮上したため 大きく見えました。(この場合 クジラを傷つけないようにエンジンを切るのがルールらしい) 毎回 必ず見られる訳ではありません。ハワイの天気予報晴れの日に予約必要です。

It was a wonderful show! I had the buffet in a separate tent before the show started, and there were many delicious options. There was also a small hula show inside the tent.

It started to rain during the show, but there was a cover to keep us dry, so I wasn't worried at all. After the meal, we moved to a different location for the hula show.

After several performances, Elvis Presley made an appearance! Although I'm not from that generation, I think he must have looked just like him. The older audience members around me were cheering, and when he came down to the audience to shake hands with everyone, some people were even in tears.

After a few more performances, it was time for Michael Jackson. He also resembled the original quite well. Not just in appearance and voice, but also in performance, it must have taken a tremendous amount of effort.

I got to see the moonwalk too! I could only take still photos, so the pictures turned out a bit confusing, but it was truly amazing, and I highly recommend seeing it in person!

素晴らしいショーでした！
ビュッフェはショーが始まる前に別のテントで食べたのですが、種類も多く美味しかったです。テントの中でも小さなフラショーがありました。
途中で雨が降ってきたのですが、濡れないよう雨避けがされますので心配いりませんでしたよ。
食後、場所を移っていよいよフラショーです。
いくつかの演目の後、エルヴィス・プレスリーが登場！
世代ではないのですが、きっとそっくりだったんだと思います。周りで見ていた年配の方の歓声が上がっていましたし、客席に降りて一人ひとりと握手をしてくれた時には涙ぐんでいる方もいるほどでした。
その後またいくつか演目を挟み、今度はマイケル・ジャクソンです。こちらもよく似ていました。姿形や声のみならずパフォーマンスまで、となると、大変な努力だろうと思います。
ムーンウォークも見られました！撮影は静止画のみで動画が撮れなかったため、なんだかワケの分からない写真になっていますが…実際は本当に素晴らしかったので是非現地でご覧いただきたいと思います！

It was popular, and although the reservation was only for drinks and photos, it was amazing.
We were seated on the second floor, but the view was very good.
I was lucky to get photos and autographs as well.

人気があり、ドリンクと写真撮影のみの予約となりましたが、最高でした。
2階席でしたが、とても見やすかったです。
写真撮影やサインももらえて、ラッキーでした。

As we boarded the boat and set off, we spotted dolphins swimming in the distance. I was excitedly wondering if we would see a whale next! I gazed out at the sea, but it took a while for one to appear. While enjoying a different view of the streets of Waikiki and Diamond Head, we floated on the water... and then, could it be a whale?! I noticed a splash of water rising up. And finally, a whale jumped high out of the water!!

I want to see it again!

船に乗り少しすると遠くの方でイルカが泳いでるのを発見。
次はクジラか⁉︎とワクワクしながら海を眺めましたが、なかなか現れてくれませんでした。
ワイキキの街並みやダイヤモンドヘッドを別の角度から見たりしながら、海の上をプカプカ…
とその時、クジラ⁉︎水しぶきが上がっているのを発見しました。
そしてついにクジラの大ジャンプ‼︎

もう一回見たいですね〜

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.

The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.

Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.

The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.

The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

We were greeted on arrival with some traditional Hawaiian Lei's and a photo with two of the show stars. We had a free drink on arrival and then sat down to get ready for the show. The people on the table were chatty and friendly. We were lucky to be the first table up for the buffet which was incredible, so much choice of food! The show started and was absolutely amazing, ending with a fire show! The rooftop view whilst the sun was going down was perfect and typical Hawaiian paradise. Absolutely loved it!

It’s been over ten years since I last visited with my older child, and this is my second time. Last time, there were quite a few people and long lines, but this time it felt a bit deserted with fewer visitors. Since there were fewer people, we were able to enjoy unlimited rides. Food and drinks, as well as bringing in floaties, are prohibited. However, they somehow allowed us to bring in unopened water. We had a great day, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back again...

上の子をつれて１０年以上前に行って以来２回目です。
前回はかなり人も多く並びましたが、今回は人も少なくさびれてる？という印象でした。
人が少ないので乗り放題楽しめました。
飲み物食べ物、浮き輪持ち込み禁止です。未開封の水はどうにか許してくれました。
１日楽しめましたが、再来はないかなぁ・・・

It was very empty, so I was able to ride the slides without waiting in line. The wave pool was surprisingly large compared to Japan, but it was a lot of fun. The kids' pool was also well-equipped.

とても空いていたのでスライダーも並ばずにスイスイ乗れました。波のプールは日本と違ってかなり波が大きくてビックリしましたが、すごく楽しかったです。キッズ用のプールも充実していました。

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

The weather was really nice, and I got quite sunburned while waiting. While riding, the breeze was pleasant, and I was able to enjoy it without worrying about the heat. There was background music that added to the atmosphere, and it was great to see Diamond Head up close.

天気がすごくよく、待ち時間でかなり日焼けしました。乗ってる間は風が心地よく暑さを気にせず楽しめました。BGMもあって雰囲気がよかったし、ダイアモンドヘッドも間近で見れて良かったです。

I had never been to Hawaii during whale watching season before, and this was my first attempt at whale watching. I boarded the boat with high expectations, but unfortunately, I wasn't able to see any whales... tears. The morning boat ride was pleasant with the sea breeze, but it's still disappointing not to see anything. We were returning home the next day, so we didn't use it, but I heard that if you don't see any whales, you can receive a free boarding ticket. (Transportation to the boat is separate.) I thought it was nice that they have such care in place.

これまでクジラが見られる時期にハワイにきたことがなく、ホエールウォッチング初挑戦でした。期待を膨らませて船に乗りましたが、残念ながらクジラを見ることはできませんでした…涙
早朝の船で海風も心地よかったのですがやっぱり見れないと残念ですよね。
私達は翌日帰国だったので使いませんでしたが、見れなかった場合は無料乗船券を貰えるそうです。（船までの送迎は別途必要）そういったケアがあるところはいいなと思いました。

The instructor's explanation about the precautions to protect the coral reefs was very clear, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea. The food was delicious, and the cleanliness was impressive. I truly felt that Captain Bruce lived up to its reputation. I think I will choose Captain Bruce again next time I go.

さんご礁を守るための注意点等、インストラクターの説明がとても分かりやすく、美しい海を楽しめました。
食事も美味しく、清潔感もありました。
流石、キャプテンブルースと思いました。次に行くときも、キャプテンブルースを選ぶと思います。

I had the option to have photos taken, and I was able to get some wonderful pictures. While the posed shots were great, I really loved the casual shots of me just walking on the sandbar; they captured a natural moment that I cherish. I didn't know the purpose of the wetsuit, so I went snorkeling without one and got really cold. I wish they had explained the purpose of the wetsuit beforehand.

オプションで写真撮影をしてもらったので素敵な写真が残せました。ポージング写真はもちろん良いのですが、ほんの数枚あったただサンドバーを歩いているだけの何気ないショットが、自然体でとてもお気に入りの写真になりました。ウエットスーツの用途を知らなかったので着ないでシュノーケリングをしたら震える程寒くなりました。ウエットスーツの用途についても事前に説明してくれれば良いのにと思いました。

Very convenient and pleasant cruise. Transportation was easy, staff was friendly, food was tasty, entertainment was entertaining. Very good date for a couple. Would reccomend to anyone looking for something to do for an evening.

Although the weather forecast predicted rain, there were moments when the blue sky peeked through the clouds. I took a walk along the sandbar, which was about knee to waist deep. Despite the current, there were surprisingly many schools of fish, and snorkeling was great. Of course, I also got to see turtles. With the captain's special permission, I was able to try stand-up paddleboarding, and I had a blast! The lunch was delicious too. I would love to go back on a nice day.

雨予報のだったのに、時折青空も覗く曇り空。
膝から腰ぐらいまでの深さのサンドバーの海を散歩して、流れはあったものの意外と魚の群れが多く、シュノーケリングも良かったです。もちろんカメも見れました。
キャプテンの特別許可でサップボードも体験させてもらい、メッチャはしゃいじゃいました(^O^)／
ランチも美味しかったです。
天気の良い日にまた行ってみたいです(^^)v

I had a hard time figuring out the meeting place, and even when it was time, there was no sign, so I was wandering around the harbor. I was happy about the all-you-can-drink beer, but the cruise distance was too close to Oahu, and there were no whales around here, as expected. It felt a bit overpriced.

集合場所が分からず、時間になっても表示もなくハーバーの周りを右往左往して大変でした。
ビール飲み放題は嬉しかったが、クルーズする距離がオアフに近くこの辺りではクジラはいないでしょという距離で、案の定現れませんでした。ちょっと高い料金に感じました。

The place was not crowded, and I had fun, but I wanted more information about the bodyboard registration and instructions. Even though it was an all-inclusive plan, the explanations were lacking.

I really wanted to ride the Mega Phone slide, but for some reason, it wasn't operating, and there was no explanation for that. Is this the American style? The intermediary company, Veltra, should provide an explanation.

The shuttle bus was way too cold! Even in January, the air conditioning was on. Hawaii is not always summer-like.

The lunch was delicious.

人も空いてて楽しめましたが、
ボディボードの受付とか説明とかもっとしてほしかった。 全部付きプランなのに
説明不足です。

1番滑りたかった
メガフォンのスライダーは何故か運行してなくて
その説明もなし。
それがアメリカンスタイルなのか
仲介業者のベルトラさんは説明すべきです。

送迎のバスは寒すぎまーす！
1月なのにクーラーついてましたw
ハワイは常夏ではないです。


昼ランチはおいしかったです。

Aloha!

We had an amazing flight enjoying overwhelming views of the island, amongst others the North Shore, beaches, mountains, volcanos, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and a waterfall. Our very experienced pilot Miguel explained everything in detail and provided a lot of insight.

This was a once-in-a-liftetime experience, which we do not want to miss, and the highlight of our O'ahu holidays.

Mahalo!

The crew was amazing and so was the tour. We honestly wanted to pay to do it again. The sandbar was so awesome and snorkeling was so much fun. It was the best experience we had on the island. The hamburger were great and hit the spot. Thanks again to our wonderful crew. It is a memory my whole family will cherish forever

I can't say enough about how amazing this crew is and how much fun we had!  The boat is so nice with two different net lounge seating areas at the front with seating space inside the cabin as well. We saw so many dolphins and the crew made everyone feel very comfortable snorkeling. They were also great with pointing out all of the different marine life that they found so we even got to see a couple of sea turtles! I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking for a nice day out on the West side!

I participated for the first time on my honeymoon. At the buffet before the show, I enjoyed Hawaiian cuisine while listening to ukulele performances and singing. The show was more impressive than I had imagined, truly a fusion of rock and hula dance. The venue was quite lively, and I was entertained throughout. After it ended, I was able to take commemorative photos with the cast, making wonderful memories fitting for a honeymoon. I'm really glad I participated!

新婚旅行で初めて参加させていただきました。
ショーの前のビュッフェでは、ウクレレの演奏と歌を聴きながらハワイアン料理のビュッフェがいただけました。ショーは、想像以上に本格的で圧巻でした。まさにロックとフラダンスの融合です。会場もかなり盛り上がっており、終始楽しませていただけました。終わってからはキャストの方との記念撮影もでき、新婚旅行にふさわしい素敵な思い出作りが出来たので参加して本当に良かったです！
