Oahu
It seems that various impersonators are performing, and this time it was Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
The charm of hula, the power of the drums, and the fire dance, mixed with nostalgic performances of Elvis and Michael Jackson, created a story-filled stage that made the hour and a half fly by. The show, which involved not just the stage but also the venue, was extremely satisfying.
色々なそっくりさんが出演されるようですが、今回は、エルビスプレスリーとマイケルジャクソンでした。
フラの魅力、太鼓の迫力、ファイヤーダンスに、懐かしのエルビスやマイケルジャクソンをおりまぜ、ストーリーのあるステージは、あっという間の1時間半でした。
ステージだけでなく、会場も巻き込んでのショーは、大満足でした。
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 visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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 was able to enjoy the sunset and night view in Honolulu, and the food was delicious as well. I think the cost performance is good. However, after the meal, it was disappointing that the lounge on the upper floor was crowded and I couldn't find a seat, so I give it four stars.
ホノルルの夕陽と夜景を楽しむことができる上、料理も美味しかったです。
コスパも良いと思います。
ただ食事後、上階ラウンジに人がいっぱいで座ることが出来ず残念でしたので星4つです。
アロハ!ホノルルの輝く夕日と、マジェスティックでの美味しい料理を楽しんでいただけたと聞いて、とても嬉しいです。またお迎えできる機会があることを願っています。マハロ!
Aloha! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed Honolulu's sparkling sunset views and our savory food aboard Majestic. We hope to have the chance to welcome you aboard again soon. Mahalo!
My daughter hoped for the tour.
It didn't show itself very clearly...
Just when I thought I saw it, it was on the other side.
But I did get to see its tail! ☺️
娘希望のツアー。
なかなか綺麗に姿を現してくれず。。。
見せたと思ったら反対側だったり。
でも、尾鰭は見れました☺️
Thank you for the review! I'm very happy to hear that you had a wonderful time with us. I hope we have the opportunity to adventure together again soon! A hui hou (until next time).
レビューのマハロ!あなたは私たちと素晴らしい時間を過ごしたと聞いてとてもうれしいです。もうすぐあなたと一緒に冒険する機会があることを願っています! A hui hou(次回まで)
This tour offers an experience that you absolutely cannot have on your own. The captain searched for wild dolphins, found the spots, and stopped the boat, which I thought was amazing. Dolphins are smart and swim fast, so we desperately chased after them, making it not easy to spot them. However, the excitement of seeing dolphins in the ocean made it all worthwhile. The guide and crew were friendly and kind, which made the experience enjoyable, and I am grateful for that. Our guide, Karen, is from Hawaii, but her Japanese is very good, and you can really feel her love for Hawaii. I thought she was such a lovely person! Thank you so much for this precious experience. MAHALO~♪
個人では、絶対に出来ない体験が出来るツアーです。船長さんが野生のイルカを探しながら、ポイントを見つけて、船を止めてくれて、スゴイなと思いました。イルカも賢いし、泳ぐのも速いから、私達も必死で泳ぎながら追いかけて、イルカを見つけるのは簡単ではなかったけど、その分、海の中でイルカを見れた時の感動は大きかったです。ガイドさんやクルーの方達もフレンドリー&親切で楽しかったし、感謝してます。ガイドのカレンさんはハワイ出身だけど、日本語がとても上手&とてもハワイを愛してるのを感じられて、可愛い人だなぁ〜と思いました。貴重な体験、どうもありがとうございました。MAHALO〜♪
The cruising experience was very enjoyable and beautiful! The food wasn't in a wide variety, but it was tastier than I expected! The view outside was amazing ☺️ However, the air conditioning inside the ship was too cold, and I froze! A jacket is definitely a must!
クルージングはとても楽しく、綺麗でした!
ご飯も種類はたくさんではありませんでしたが、想像よりは美味しくいただけました!
外の景色は最高です☺️
しかし、船内の空調が寒すぎて凍えました!
上着は、必須ですね!
Aloha! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the cruise at the very unique and beautiful location in Waikiki. Thank you for sharing your experience and recommendations. We hope to see you again in the future. Mahalo!
アロハ!ワイキキの非常に個性的で美しい場所でのクルーズを楽しんでいただけたことを嬉しく思います。あなたの経験と推奨事項を共有していただきありがとうございます。将来またご参加ください。マハロ!
If you're in Hawaii, you definitely want to see hula dancing and fire dancing, so I watched them during a VIP course dinner. The location is the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is conveniently within walking distance from the major hotels in Waikiki.
True to its name, the VIP course had a separate entrance, and I was treated like a VIP right from the start! They served a welcome drink along with delicious snacks and fruits. I was pleasantly surprised right away.
I was seated in front of the stage and enjoyed the dinner course, which included lobster and steak... everything was colorful and delicious. Since the dinner was served slowly, it got a bit hectic just before the show started.
And finally, the show began! It started with hula dancing, followed by Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, and fire dancing... everything was amazing! Elvis and Michael even came down from the stage to the audience, which was a great treat! Those who got Elvis's red scarf were lucky!
After the show, the performers from the hula dance, as well as Elvis and Michael, were waiting at the exit for photo opportunities. They were really nice guys and we were able to take great pictures.
This is a show you definitely want to see at least once when you come to Hawaii!!
ハワイに来たなら、フラダンスとファイアーダンスは見ておきたいと思い、
VIPコースディナーにて、観覧しました。
場所はロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター。
ワイキキの主要ホテルから徒歩で行けるのもうれしいですね。
VIPコースの名のとおり、入口も分けられており、いきなりのVIP待遇!
ウェルカムドリンクも出て、おいしいおつまみやフルーツも。
いきなり期待以上でした。
ステージ前の席に案内され、ディナーコースを頂きました。
ロブスター、ステーキ...彩鮮やかで、どれもおいしかったです。
ディナーはゆっくり運ばれてきたため、ショー開始直前は少しどたばたしてしまいました。
そしていよいよショーが開始!
フラダンスから始まり、エルヴィスプレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、ファイアーダンス・・・
どれも最高でした!
エルヴィスやマイケルはステージを降りて客席まで来てくれる大サービス!
エルヴィスの赤いマフラーもらえた方はラッキーです!
ショーが終わった後、先ほどフラダンスした方や、エルヴィス、マイケルが出口で待っており、記念撮影させてくれます。
とてもナイスガイで良い写真を撮らせてもらえました。
ハワイに来たら一度は見ておきたいショーです!!
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 visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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。
This time, I participated with my family!
We chose the all-you-can-drink course with appetizers!
If you like alcohol, I recommend this course!
You can enjoy various drinks like beer, champagne, and cocktails.
The food was delicious too!
I'm glad we chose the fireworks on Friday.
However, the waiting time until the fireworks is a bit long, so it might get boring!
But the cruise was truly a wonderful experience and became the best memory.
Thank you!
今回家族での参加でした!
アピタイザー付き飲み放題のコースにしました!
お酒が好きな方はこのコースはオススメです!
ビール、シャンパン、カクテルなどが色々飲めます^ ^
食事もおいしかったですよ!
金曜日の花火を選択して良かったです(^^)
ただ花火までの待ち時間が少し長いので、退屈するかもしれません!
ですがクルーズは本当に素敵な時間で最高の思い出になりました(^^)
ありがとうございました!
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the food and drinks! We hope you and your family will join us again soon! Mahalo!
アロハ!あなたの経験を共有してくれてありがとう、私たちはあなたが食べ物と飲み物を楽しんでくれてうれしいです!あなたとあなたの家族がすぐに再び参加することを願っています!マハロ!
I participated in my first Hawaii trip five years ago, and it became my best memory, so I joined again without hesitation this time! We were able to see dolphins and turtles again! The staff, especially Shohta who speaks Japanese, were all so much fun, it felt like Disneyland!
However, it seemed like there were more people this time than last. The boat was crowded, and when swimming, there were so many people that it was hard to hear and see the dolphins. More than anything, I felt that the communication with the staff and the sense of unity among participants had decreased. This activity is different from others; I believe that the satisfaction comes more from the staff's interactions and the atmosphere rather than just seeing or playing with the dolphins, so I think having a bit more space would enhance the sense of unity.
It was a bit chilly in December, but it was fine without renting a wetsuit. The water wasn't cold. I felt like more than 10% of the participants got seasick. It seems like there weren't any sick people five years ago...? Maybe it was because of the winter and the high waves? Even if you usually don't get seasick, it might be a good idea to have some motion sickness medication.
5年前の初ハワイでも参加して、1番の思い出になったので今回も迷わず参加しました!今回もイルカもカメも見れました!スタッフさん、特に日本語担当ショウタさんはじめ皆さんとっても楽しくてディズニーランドみたいでした!
ただ、前回より人が多かった気がします。船ギュウギュウだし、泳ぐ時も人が多すぎて声が聞こえづらくてイルカも見づらかったです。何よりスタッフさんとのコミュニケーションや参加者の一体感が少なくなっていたと思います。このアクティビティは他と違って、イルカを見るとか遊ぶとかの目的よりもスタッフの皆さんの対応や雰囲気が満足につながっていると思うので、もう少しゆとりがあった方が一体感も出て良いと思いました。
12月で少し寒い時期でしたが、ウエットスーツレンタル無しでも大丈夫でした。水は冷たくないです。1割以上の方が酔っていた気がします。5年前は酔った人いなかったような…?冬で波が高いとかですかね?普段酔わなくても酔い止めがあった方がいいかもしれません
●Points of Concern
- The bus arrived a little late compared to the scheduled time.
- The information beforehand indicated that staff would be wearing blue shirts, but the staff were wearing green shirts.
- The park was smaller than I had imagined.
●Positive Aspects
- Perhaps due to the time of year, there were few people, and I was able to enjoy most attractions without waiting in line.
- The attraction called Shaka was very interesting.
●気になった点
・バスが集合時間より少し遅れて到着しました。
・事前情報では青色のシャツを着た人がスタッフだということでしたが、緑色のシャツを着た人がスタッフでした。
・想像していたよりもパークが狭かったです。
●良かった点
・時期の関係からなのか、人は少なくほとんどのアトラクションは並ぶことなく乗ることができました。
・シャカというアトラクションがとても面白かったです。
Since it was my first time participating and I was the first to check in, I was able to sit in the front row on the second floor.
We set off in a great atmosphere while listening to Christmas songs!
After arriving, we had an hour of free time, so I was able to take photos at a leisurely pace.
Although there was a bit of a wait, I was able to take a commemorative photo with Santa, which became a wonderful memory.
始めての参加でチェックインが1番だったので2階席の最前に座ることができました。
クリスマスソングを聞きながらとてもいい雰囲気で出発!!
着いてから1時間のフリータイムがあるので、ゆっくり写真が撮れました。
少し並びましたがサンタとの記念撮影も出来て良い思い出になりました。
Three years ago, I participated with my daughter and had a great time, so this time I joined with friends. The staff were very considerate, taking photos for us and accommodating the two who didn't participate in snorkeling by letting them stay on the cruiser. The malasadas and BBQ were also very delicious, and we even had seconds. We were blessed with wonderful weather and had the best time.
3年前に娘と参加してとても楽しかったので、今回は友人と参加しました。
スタッフの方が写真を撮ってくれたり、シュノーケルに参加しなかった二人をクルーザーに乗せてくれたりとても気使って頂き楽しかったです。
マラサダとBBQもとても美味しくお代わりもしました。
とても天気にも恵まれて最高の時間を過ごすことができました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining us this time. And to our returning guests, welcome back! What wonderful photos! It must have been so beautiful that day, as conveyed through the pictures. We all 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。そしてリピーター様、お帰りなさい!素晴らしい写真ですね!当日はさぞ美しかったんだろうなー。っと写真から伝わって来ました。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 participated because of the "second person free" offer. To be honest, I went without much expectation, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food was more than enough, and I was extremely full. The show allowed us to feel the history of Hawaii while featuring performances by Elvis and Michael Jackson—truly a fantastic show from the home of entertainment, America. I felt a bit embarrassed that we essentially paid for one person with the second person free offer. It was a great value. If I have the chance again, I would love to see it, and I immediately recommended it to a friend who is going to Hawaii next month.
It's worth going. A must-see.
Thank you.

[Review]
(Young couple in their early 30s visiting Hawaii for a 4-night, 6-day trip)
Overall, we are very satisfied. We booked a course that included meals. The course meal was served, and after finishing the meal, a show was held. The food itself was delicious, and both of us were pleased. Regarding the show, it included a hula show and fire dance, which we definitely wanted to see during our trip to Hawaii. It was also our first time seeing a tribute show live, and we really enjoyed it, including the quality of the dancing.
[For those who will participate]
I recommend it for those who want to enjoy a Hawaiian show in a limited amount of time.
[感想]
(30代前半夫婦、4泊6日の旅行でハワイを訪問)
全体的に満足です。料理付のコースを予約しました。コース料理が提供され、食事が終わった後にショーが開催される流れです。料理自体も美味しく、夫婦ともに満足しております。ショーにつきまして、ハワイ旅行では一度は見ておきたかったフラショーやファイヤーダンスも確りしたものが組み込まれておりました。モノマネショーも生で観たは初めてであり、ダンスのクオリティーなど含めてとても楽しかったです。
[これから参加される方へ]
限られた時間でハワイのショーを楽しみたい方にはオススメです。
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 visit Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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 think this tour depends on the weather. If the weather is bad, it gets cold. The staff were all kind and funny!
Next time I participate, I want to see sea turtles.
Kailua was very enjoyable, and the timing was just right.
The pancakes at Boots & Kimo's were absolutely delicious!
このツアーは天気次第だと思います
天気悪いと寒いです。
スタッフは皆さん親切で面白かったです!
次に参加したときはウミガメに会いたいです
カイルアはとても楽しかったし
時間も丁度よかったです
ブーツ&キモズのパンケーキ最高に美味しかったです!
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very sorry that it rained, but we are glad to hear that you were pleased with our staff's service. It's also great to know that you enjoyed the Kailua plan. As you pointed out, we will continue to make further efforts to ensure that the tour is not solely dependent on the weather, and that you are satisfied throughout the entire experience with snorkeling, activities, and meals. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit.
アロハ!この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへのご参加誠にありがとうございました。雨が降ってしまい大変残念でしたが、スタッフの対応をお褒めいただき嬉しく思います。またカイルアプランもお楽しみいただけたようで良かったです。ご指摘いただきました通り天候次第のツアーとならないよう、シュノーケリングやアクティビティ、そしてお食事などでツアー全体を通してにご満足いただけますようさらなる努力を重ねてまいります。またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
It was a great time for a sunday night. Lights were beautiful! The crew was very enthusiastic and helpful! The music kept cutting in and out though and the bus got too close to some lower trees a couple times.
Thanks for a great night!
I went at the same time last year, and it was disappointing that the tour was canceled due to a scheduling conflict with an event, so I'm glad I could participate this year.
I encountered many dolphins, and it was a lot of fun.
The crew was bright and wonderful, and I plan to join again.
去年も同じ時期に行き、申し込みした日が何かのイベントと重なるため、このツアーが中止になってしまって残念だったので、今年は参加出来て良かった。
たくさんイルカと遭遇出来て、とても楽しかった。
明るく素敵なクルー達だったし、また参加しようと思います。
It was a cloudy day. The waves were high and it was more thrilling than a roller coaster! Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales, but we did meet a family of dolphins and beautiful sea turtles. I will participate again.
当日は曇り空でした。波が高くてジェットコースターよりスリル満点‼︎残念ながらクジラには出会えませんでしたが、イルカファミリーと美しい海ガメに会えました。又参加します。
My boyfriend and I went to Chiefs Luau and it was such a fun night. We are so happy we chose the Royal Package because we were in the very first row, got 3 complimentary drinks, and were first in line for the buffet. The food was really good, my favorite was the kalua pork and poi. The "chief" was hilarious and very talented. This show had performances/dances of cultures from all over Polynesia so it was really cool to see all of their differences. It was very engaging and family-oriented, the fire-knife performance was my favorite. One thing to note is to bring bug-spray! There were mosquitoes since the luau is located at a waterpark. I would highly recommend Chief's luau to anyone!
This Pearl Harbor tour is the perfect experience for people who want to step back in time and learn about what happened on the day Pearl Harbor was attacked. First, we went to the USS Arizona memorial. We watched a 10 minute introduction video that gave a brief description of the Pearl Harbor Attacks and World War 2 then we took a short boat-ride to the memorial. Then we toured the USS Bowfin submarine with an audio guide and the USS Battleship Missouri with a tour guide. These tours really put things into perspective. I chose a deli sandwich for lunch and it was good. The bus driver Kaleo was great; he was very personable, treated us like family, and made everyone laugh. He made the drive to and from Pearl Harbor very entertaining. Overall, this Complete Pearl Harbor was a very eye-opening and touching experience.
I wanted to see a Hawaiian show, so I decided to participate. In the VIP course, after entering through a separate entrance, we enjoyed a delicious welcome drink and light snacks, followed by a course dinner and then the show. I think the meal was plentiful and luxurious. Also, if you don't know how to shell the lobster, you can ask for help, and they will do it for you. The show allows you to experience the history of Hawaii and its music from the past to the present, even covering songs from Disney's Moana, always keeping the content fresh. The audience was lively, and the performers came close to the seats, making it an engaging experience. One thing to note is that the venue was quite cold, so a jacket is essential.
ハワイアンショーを見たいと思い参加させていただきました。VIPコースでは、通常エントランスとは別入場の後、美味しいウェルカムドリンクと軽食をいただき、コースディナーをいただいた後ショー観覧といった流れとなります。食事は量が多くかつ贅沢な内容になっていると思います。また、ロブスターの剥き方がわからない人はお願いすれば剥いていただけました。ショーにはハワイと音楽の歴史を過去から現在にむかって体感するといった内容になっており、ディズニーのモアナの曲までカバーするという常に最新を意識する内容になっています。観客のノリもよく、また、役者が席の近くまでくるので飽きを感じない内容となっております。1点だけ注意すべきなのは、会場が大変寒く、羽織物必須ということでしょうか・・・
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 come to Hawaii again.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私共も大変嬉しく思っております。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 often encounter both unpleasant and good things, as well as strange occurrences in my daily life, and I was able to showcase that ability. I got to see everything, including the honu, whale spouts, and rainbows, which I hear can sometimes be elusive. The crew was very friendly, and I even got to take the helm.
普段から身の周りに嫌なことからいい事、奇怪な事までエンカウント(遭遇)してしまう私ですが、その能力を発揮してしまいました
ホヌや、ホエールの潮、虹、出会えないこともあるらしいのが、全部見れました
クルーも気さくな方ばっかりで舵もきらせてもらえました
About three days ago, the first tour was fully booked, so I signed up for this tour. They picked us up by bus, and from there we moved to the sandbar by boat. I didn’t feel seasick at all, and it was really pleasant arriving at the sandbar. Unfortunately, the water level was up to my waist, but it was very beautiful. We strolled around, took photos, and relaxed at a leisurely pace. There was plenty of time.
After that, we had a hamburger lunch! It was delicious, with freshly grilled patties. You could add tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and more as you liked. Then we went sea turtle watching. I think we saw about ten turtles. They swam gracefully and occasionally popped their heads up for air. After that, snorkeling at a stunning spot! We visited several snorkeling points, and there were many fish. It was the first time I saw a sea turtle. A few groups spotted them, and since I wasn’t wearing a flotation jacket, I dove down a bit and saw them up close. It was amazing to swim alongside the turtles. (Of course, I think I was lucky…)
Snorkeling was also very enjoyable. The plan, which included the sandbar, lunch, sea turtles, and snorkeling, was very satisfying. Our guide, Yuki, was also a lot of fun and shared some movie filming stories, which made it enjoyable. I will definitely join this tour again next time. I highly recommend it!
*Put your belongings in a vinyl bag. Wear marine (water) shoes and bring extra towels from the hotel. Keep your phone around your neck. If possible, sitting on the outer side of the front deck allows for better views of the turtles. Make sure to apply sunscreen well. Drinks are included, so you don’t need too many, but having one for the trip or when you want to drink right away is necessary. Don’t forget to prepare a tip; around $20 to $25 per person is ideal. After the tour, we returned to the hotel by 4 PM, and then we had plenty of time to enjoy shopping.
3日くらい前一番初めのツアーが空いていなかったので、
このツアーに申し込み。バスで迎えに来てくれて、そこから船で移動
まったく、船酔いすることもなく、すごく、気持ちよくサンドバー到着。
あいにく腰下まで水位がありましたが、すごくきれい。
ぶらぶら歩いたり写真を撮ったりまったり、ゆっくり。十分な時間でした。
その後、ハンバーガーランチ!こちらも美味しい。ハンバーグも焼き立て。
トマト、オニオン、レタスなどもお好きに挟んで。という感じ。
その後、ウミガメウオッチング。
10匹は見えたと思います。優雅に泳いでたまに顔を水面に出してくれました。
その後シュノーケリングも最高にきれいなポイント!
いくつかシュノーケルポイントは行きましたが、魚も多く
ウミガメが見えたのは初めて。
数組の方が発見して、私は浮きのジャケットを着ていなかったので、少し潜ったら大きく見えました。さらに、カメと一緒に泳ぐことも出来て最高でした。
(もちろん、ラッキーだったと思いますが…)
シュノーケリングも十分楽しめます。サンドバー・ランチ・ウミガメ・シュノーケルと大満足のプランでした。案内してくださったYUKIさんもとても、
楽しい方で映画の撮影の紹介などもあり、楽しめました。
次に行くときもこのツアーに絶対参加します。お勧めです
※荷物はビニール素材のバックに入れて。靴はマリン(ウォーター)シューズ・タオルはホテルレンタル多めに。携帯は首にかけて。可能なら、前のデッキの外側に座れるとそのまま、カメがうまく見えます。日焼け止めはしっかり塗って。ドリンクはついているので、そんなにいらないが1本くらいは移動やすぐ飲みたいときに必要。チップを準備するのを忘れないで。一人、20ドルから25ドルくらいが理想です。
終了後も16時にホテルに戻りその後、十分にお買い物楽しめます。
It was a clear day, and both the sea and the mountains were beautiful. The shallowest area had water up to my knees, but it was surprisingly clear, like a different world.
I was worried about snorkeling since I couldn't do the breaststroke, but I was able to move just by using my hands, and I was thrilled to see sea turtles swimming up close.
The blueberry or chocolate muffins we received right after boarding, as well as the lunch, were delicious.
If I had to mention something, the driver was late compared to the meeting time, and he was distributing the schedule by wetting each piece of paper. Also, the changing area on the way to Kailua was in a public restroom with limited stalls, and since locals were using it too, it made us a bit rushed. However, at Būkimō, it was not crowded, and I was able to eat pancakes right away.
I also think it would be helpful if the tour included tips. I definitely want to join again during low tide next time.
当日は快晴で海だけでなく山もとても綺麗でした。一番浅い場所で膝ぐらいの水位でしたが、驚くほど透明で別世界の景色です。
シュノーケリングは、平泳ぎの足が出来ず心配でしたが、手をかくだけで進み、海亀の泳ぐ姿を間近でみれてテンションが上がりました。
乗船してすぐ頂くブルーベリーorチョコのマフィンもランチも美味しかったです。
強いて言うなら、行きのドライバーさんが集合時間より遅れて来たこと、車内で配るスケジュールを1枚ずつ唾を付けて配っていたこと、カイルアへ行く途中の着替えがどこかのトイレで個数も少なく、地元の方も使うので譲っていたら時間が…となり焦ったぐらいです。ブーキモは空いててすぐパンケーキを食べれました。
あと、ツアーがチップ込みだと助かるな〜と思います。次回は干潮の時にぜひ参加します。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the sunny sandbar and Kailua. We also appreciate your feedback on areas for improvement, which we will share with our staff to enhance our services. We 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。晴天のサンドバー、そしてカイルアを満喫いただいたようでとても嬉しく思います。また改善点のご指摘もいただきありがとうございます。さらなるサービス向上のためにスタッフと共有させていただきます。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。
This was my first time in Hawaii, so I made a reservation based on information I found online. The communication regarding transportation was polite, and I received updates about the meeting location and time changes from the hotel. Women must wear rash guards, which also protect against the wind when boarding. For men, it's all about determination.
During our visit, we were comfortably picked up by a large tour bus. We stopped to use the restroom at the boat departure location. Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese people and the other more international. Personally, I preferred the international boat, but my family wanted to be on the one with mostly Japanese passengers. The energetic and thorough explanations from the staff really boosted our spirits.
At the sandbar, we borrowed goggles and snorkels to enter the water. It's essential to have a waterproof case for your smartphone, even if it's a cheap one from a dollar store. The water level was about waist to thigh deep, allowing us to walk around, enjoy the scenery, and play volleyball. It might be fun to bring a ball that doesn't get blown away easily.
For turtle watching, we moved from the sandbar and observed from the boat. We saw many turtles, which was exciting, but it was a bit difficult to take photos due to the distance.
Lunch consisted of hamburgers on the boat. If you line up early, you can enjoy your meal at a leisurely pace. Since the portions are light, those with big appetites might want to bring something extra.
The captain's guitar performance was also a nice touch. For snorkeling around the coral, in addition to the snorkel, we borrowed life jackets and fins. If the staff can share some bread, you can feed the fish, which is sure to be a thrilling experience. You can swim around the coral and enjoy the beautiful scenery with your friends.
The weather was decent. Some members got stung by jellyfish, including my daughter, but we received medication and it was no problem. Please note that you cannot flush toilet paper on the boat. It's important to be considerate and keep it clean for everyone, but it might be tough for those who are very particular about cleanliness.
On the return bus, plastic covers were set on the seats. Even if you can't change clothes, there's no need to worry. (Remember to bring some cash to leave a tip when disembarking.)
Instead of worrying about "the weather not being perfect," "the jellyfish," or "the restroom situation," it's better to focus on enjoying what you can. If you can have a good time, the staff's spirits will lift too, making the experience even more enjoyable.
初ハワイなので、ネット情報を参考にして申し込みました。
送迎の連絡は丁寧で、迎えの場所及び時間の変更連絡はホテルにいただけました。女性はラッシュガードが必須。乗船時の風からも守ってくれます。男は気合です。
私たちの時は大きな観光バスでのお迎えにて快適に移動。ボート出航場所でトイレを済ませます。ボート乗船は参加人数が多く2隻に分乗。日本人ばかりのボートとインターナショナルなボートに分かれました。個人的にはインターナショナルが良かったのですが、家族の希望で日本人ばかりの船に。元気で丁寧な説明をいただき気分も盛り上がりました。
サンドバーでは、水中眼鏡とシュノーケルを借りて入水します。スマホは必ず100均のでいいので防水ケースに。腰~太ももくらいまで水位がありましたが、歩いたり、景色を楽しんだり、バレーを楽しんだり。風に飛ばされにくいボールなんかを持っていくと面白いかも。
ウミガメウォッチは、サンドバーから移動してボート上からウォッチします。たくさんのウミガメを見て盛り上がりますが、やや距離があるので写真におさめるのは困難です。
ランチは、船上でハンバーガーでした。早めに並ぶとゆっくり食べられます。軽めなので、大食漢の方は何か持って行った方がいいかもしれません。
船長(?)のギターの弾き語りもいい感じです。
サンゴの周りのシュノーケリングは、シュノーケルの他に、ライフジャケットとフィンを借りて入水します。もし、スタッフの方からパンを分けてもらえれば、魚への餌やりができます。魚の勢いに驚くこと必至。シュノーケリングでサンゴの周りを一周できます。きれいなサンゴを仲間と一緒に楽しめます。
お天気はまずまず。クラゲに刺されるメンバーもいて、娘もその被害に合いましたが薬をいただき問題なし。船上のトイレは紙を流すことができません。お互いのためにきれいに使う意識も大事ですが、潔癖症の方は厳しいかも。
帰りのバスの席にはビニールがセットされています。着替えることができなくても心配ありません。(下船時に気持ちをチップとして残すので、お金を忘れないように)
「天気がピーカンじゃない」とか「クラゲが~」とか「トイレが~」とか考えるよりも、楽しめることを楽しんだ者勝ちです。楽しそうに過ごせたら、スタッフの気持ちも上がって、もっと楽しく過ごせるかも。
We have been too the Island 6 times and decided to do this excursion. We had an awesome time. Mike was great and all staff very personable. Saw Mante Rays, turtles and lots of colorful fish. Our only complaint was that they should use better beef for the burgers. Over all we highly recommend this tour you will not be disappointed.
The sandbar and snorkeling were both amazing. I think it can be enjoyed in any scenario, whether you're with a partner, colleagues, or family. I was moved to see sea turtles up close!
サンドバー、シュノーケリング共に最高でした。カップル、同僚、家族、どのパターンでも楽しめると思います。海カメを間近で見れて感動しました!

The last time I have been to Pearl Harbor was when I was in 6th grade. During that time I had only visited the USS Missouri and the Arizona Memorial. This time around I got to visit the two plus the Pacific Aviation Museum and the USS Bowfin. It was an amazing experience to get to learn about the history of what had happened at Pearl Harbor and to get to see what life was like for sailors living on a boat. I definitely do not think I could survive life as a sailor and I have a whole new respect for the sailors who are out at sea for a long duration of time to protect our country. I do suggest that if you go on this tour on a sunny day, I would wear light clothes and bring sunglasses because it can get hot real fast and it is very bright. Inside the bus is very cold though so I would bring a jacket as well.
You read the description of the tour first and now you want to make sure it's worth it.... Sandbar, volleyball, basic but tasty lunch (charcoal grill), turtle and manta spotting, and then snorkeling a coral reef. Is this something you want to do, surrounded by natural beauty?
Stop reading reviews and book the trip.
We did this tour on a rainy, windy day in 2018 and loved it! We came back and did it again in December 2019 and had a warm, sunny day and lucked out with really good visibility. The coral reef is just that; when you're underwater the live corals extend much beyond what you can see. It's not just a single live colony every once in a while like Hanauma. Where one huge colony/color/texture ends, others begin. That's what I wanted to see and this tour lets you get plenty of time in the water. The crew is always enthusiastic about the experience, has lots of fun themselves, and is highly attentive to passengers. We'll absolutely be back for a 3rd time.
Mahalo Captain Bob's crew!
On the day of the tour, the weather and temperature were unusually pleasant for the rainy season, surprising even the guide, and it wasn't cold at all when we entered the sea. The staff were friendly and really helped to create a lively atmosphere. The water was shallow, reaching just below my waist, but I was able to see a variety of colorful tropical fish and sea turtles while snorkeling. Since I can swim, I would have liked to take off my life jacket and wear fins to dive a bit (though it might not have been safe). Overall, it was an amazing experience.
ツアー当日は、ガイドさんも驚くほどの雨期としては異例の天気と温度で、海に入っても全く寒くありませんでした。スタッフの方たちも気さくで大いに盛り上げてくれました。水深は浅いところで股下位でしたが、シュノーケリングでは色とりどりの熱帯魚やウミガメを見ることが出来ました。私は泳げるので出来たらライフジャケットを脱いでフィンをつけて潜ってみたかったです。
(安全面を考えると無理でしょうが)
とにかく最高の体験でした。

It was quite difficult to find a place that accepted last-minute reservations, but I was satisfied because the bus arrived at the meeting point on time without any confusion on the day.
直前に予約を取れるところが、なかなか無かったのですが 当日に混乱する事もなく時間通りに集合場所にバスも来たので満足でした。
