Oahu
It was my first sandbar tour, and I was glad that there was always someone who spoke Japanese from pick-up to drop-off. The sandbar had a higher tide than I expected, but it was very beautiful!
The staff members were all really nice! Even though I was waiting on the boat and not snorkeling, they were considerate and I was able to wait for about 30 minutes without getting bored.
It seems that the snorkeling was a bit murky due to sand swirling around.
The sea turtles were friendly and came to visit multiple times. They didn't run away even when I got close; they just swam around me.
I didn't have high expectations for lunch, but it was really delicious! Everything was tasty, and I went back for seconds! (laughs)
初めてのサンドバーツアーでしたが、
送迎〜解散まで日本語が話せる方が常にいらして良かったです。
サンドバーは思っていたより潮位が高かったですが、とってもキレイでした!
スタッフの方々がとにかく良い人ばかり!
シュノーケリングをしないため船で待つ私にも
気を使ってくださり、30分ほどありましたが退屈することなく待てました。
シュノーケリングは砂などが舞い
水が濁ってみにくかったみたいです。
ウミガメはなついていて
何度も来てくれました。
近づいても逃げたりせず、人の周りをくるくるするくらい。
ランチはあまり期待していなかったのですが
とっても美味しかったです!
どれも美味しくておかわりしました!笑
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are glad to hear that you felt comfortable on board. We believe that communication with our staff, who have a deep knowledge of Hawaii, is one of the key points that enhances your enjoyment of our tour, so we are pleased that you were satisfied. We all look forward to welcoming you 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。船上でも、安心して過ごして頂いたようで良かったです。ハワイを良く知っているスタッフとのコミュニケーションも、弊社のツアーを楽しんでいただけるポイントの一つだと思っておりますので、満足して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。
The walk on the sandbar lasted about an hour. There was a sandbank offshore, and the scenery was very beautiful. After that, we explored for sea turtles, and we were able to see them three times! It seems that if you make a wish, it will come true. Then we had BBQ hamburgers, which were quite tasty. Finally, we went snorkeling. We circled around the coral reef, but I was really tired afterward. As noted in the tour guidelines, be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and clothing. It gets really cold after entering the water, and the wind is chilly. It’s a good idea to bring warm clothing. I want to go again next year.
サンドバーの散歩は1時間くらいありました。沖合いに砂洲があり景色がとても良かったです。その後ウミガメを散策、なんと3度も見ることができました。お願い事すると叶うらしい。(?)。そしてBBQハンバーガー。普通に美味しかったです。最後にシュノーケリング。さんご礁の周りをぐるっと一周しましたが、さすがに疲れました。ツアーの注意点にもありますが、帽子、日焼け止め、服。特に海に入った後はすごく寒いです。風が冷たいです。厚手の服を持っていったらよいです。来年もまた行きたいです。
My 9-year-old daughter participated in the experience. It was raining from the morning, and since she was attending alone, I had some concerns about how it would go until it started. However, once it began, she seemed to enjoy the experience. The story about the turtles was explained in English, but it was easy to understand, as they occasionally included Japanese words and used photos and models, so she seemed to grasp most of it.
Although she participated alone, there were Japanese children in the same group, so she quickly warmed up to them and chatted happily. She was able to interact with the dolphins much more than she had expected, and she looked very satisfied.
9才の娘が体験。
雨も朝から降っていて、一人で参加の為、どんな風になるのか始まるまで、不安も少しありましたが、始まると楽しそうに体験出来ていました。カメのお話も英語での説明ですが、分かりやすく時々日本語単語を交えて、写真や模型なども使ってくれて、だいたいは理解していたようです。
一人で参加でしたが、同じグループには日本の子どもたちがいたこともあり、すぐに打ち解けて仲良く話したり、イルカとも思っていたよりたくさん触れ合えて子どもは大満足の様子でした。
There were almost only Japanese people. It ruined the feeling of being on an overseas trip.
Attractions open at staggered times, causing crowds to concentrate on specific attractions, resulting in long wait times.
Food is not allowed to be brought in. Despite this, there was only one person taking orders at the food court, leading to long lines.
Even though it was a wave pool, there were no waves for more than half the time.
There was no one at the ticket purchase location for the FlowRider all day. When I asked other staff, they explained that it could be handled at the food court. Ultimately, I was able to buy the ticket at the food court, but without English skills, it would be difficult to get there, so the FlowRider was empty. It was too unhelpful.
ほぼ日本人しかいない。海外旅行の気分が台無しになる。
アトラクションが時間差でオープンするため、特定のアトラクションに人が集中し、その結果、長時間待たされる。
食べ物が持ち込めない。その割に園内のフードコートは注文受付が1人しかいなく、これまた長蛇の列ができる。
波のでるプールなのに、半分以上の時間、波が無かった。
フローライダーのチケット購入場所に終日、人が居なかった。他のスタッフに聞いたところフードコート?で対応すると説明される。結果的にフードコートでチケットは買えたが、英語力がないとここまでたどり着けないため、フローライダーはガラガラだった。不親切すぎ。
Dear Takeshi,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.
We will utilize your comments to improve our operations moving forward.
Thank you once again.
Aloha Takeshi 様、
大変貴重なご意見を頂きましてこころより感謝をいたします。又ご迷惑をお掛けしました事真に申し訳ございませんでした。
お客様のコメントを利用させた頂きこの先の運営に役立ててまいります。
有難うございました。
As soon as we set off, we spotted a pod of dolphins, which made me think we were off to a good start. However, after that, we didn't see anything and it ended there. Given the high expectations, it was disappointing not to see any whales, and the experience ended up being boring. Additionally, since we didn't see any whales, we were given tickets that could be used during the season starting the next day, but I felt there were high hurdles, such as the fact that the tickets were only valid until January of the following year and that reservations could only be made by phone (likely in English), with no option for online booking. I think it would be better if there were options like receiving a gift (such as a whale plush toy) or a re-ticket if nothing is seen.
出発早々、イルカの群れが見えて、幸先良いかと思いましたが、その後、何も見えず、終了しました。期待が高かった分、クジラが見えなかったため、つまらなく終わりました。また、クジラが見えなかったため、翌日からシーズン内で利用できるチケットをもらいましたが、翌日から年1月までであること、電話(おそらく英語)での予約のみでwebでの予約が出来ないなどハードルが高いと感じました。見れない場合、プレゼント(例えばクジラのぬいぐるみなど)か再チケットかを選べるなどあると良いと思います。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We also appreciate your valuable feedback. We would like to work on improvements as a team to address the issues you've raised. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I was supposed to go see whales, but ended up only seeing dolphins?! When I asked others, it seems that whales are rarely seen at this time of year. It's a total rip-off, and I want my money back!!
クジラを見に行ったはずが、イルカを見ただけで終わり⁉️他の人に聞いたところ、今の時期は、めったにクジラは見られないらしい。ぼったくりも甚だしいし、お金を返してほしい‼️
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are also disappointed that we were unable to observe any whales this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on board during the next whale season when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。また、今回は鯨の観測が出来なかった事は、私共も残念に思っております。次回鯨のシーズンにハワイへお越しの際には、再乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
The weather was wonderful, making it a perfect day. I was torn between a dinner cruise and a luau show, but choosing the luau show was definitely the right decision. There were families present, so I felt comfortable enjoying it! The dynamic fire show and the beautiful hula were both fantastic. I even got to participate in the show with the dancers... The buffet-style meal, where you can choose what you like, was also great. Everyone who participated was very happy, and I was extremely satisfied!
お天気にも恵まれ、最高の日になりました。
ディナークルーズかルアウショーか迷いましたが
ルアウッショーを選んで大正解でした。
家族連れの方もいたので安心して楽しめました!
ダイナミックなファイアーショー、
しっとりとしたフラもあり、とても素敵でした。
ダンサーさんに連れられてショーにも参加したり。。。
食事もブッフェでお好みで選べるのも良いです。
参加者全員がとても喜んでくれて超満足です!
Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear you had a wonderful time at the luau, and we are looking forward to seeing you again.
We gathered quite early, and after boarding, we had to wait for over 30 minutes, which was tough with kids. However, we were happy to see a large group of dolphins right after we set sail, although we didn't spot any whales. I really appreciated how hard the captain worked to take us around and how the crew was considerate towards the children; it felt very thoughtful. After disembarking, the return journey was smooth, but I thought it would have been nice to have a little time for shopping.
随分早めの集合なのか、乗船してからぼんやり待つ時間30分以上でした。子連れには辛いですが、、出航してすぐにイルカの大群が見れてハッピーでしたが鯨みえず。
でも船長さんがかなり頑張ってあちこち飛ばしてくれたり船員の方が子供に気遣いしてくれているのはすごくわかり良心的だと思いました。
降りてからはさくさく帰路なんですがちょいとショッピングの時間が取れてもよいかもと思いました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます
This was a three-generation trip with ages ranging from 6 to 69 years old. We boarded a catamaran and were very satisfied! The scenery was amazing, and we even saw sea turtles. There were restrooms available (though we didn't use them), which made us feel secure during the ride. Along the way, those in swimsuits could swim in the sea. ^_^
下は6歳〜年長者は69歳の3世代の旅。
カタマラン乗船し、とっても満足しました!
景色は最高、ウミガメも見れました。
お手洗いもあり(使用してませんが)、安心して乗れました。
途中、水着の方は海で泳ぐごとができます^_^
I thought it would be lucky if I could see a whale, but about an hour after boarding, I encountered a mother and baby whale! I even got to see them jump, and they came quite close, which was incredibly exciting.
I also had the opportunity to experience cultural activities like making leis and playing the ukulele, and I was able to participate in two or three of them as time allowed!
クジラが見れたらラッキーだな、くらいの気持ちでいましたが乗船から一時間くらいでくじらの親子に会えました!ジャンプもみられ、かなり近くにクジラがきてくれて大興奮でした。
カルチャー体験もレイ作りやウクレレ、フラ時間の許す限り2個3個と体験させてもらえました!
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船頂きまして、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、ご乗船頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!
My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.
Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.
The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!
Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.
Thumbs up!
The entire family had a great time feeding the fish and spotting sea turtles.
This was our second time on the cruise, as my child really enjoyed it the first time. The waves are bigger in winter, which might make it more fun with the rocking motion. For those who prefer a calm cruise, summer is recommended. Since you're out on the sea, you can get quite sunburned. I recommend taking extra precautions against sunburn, even more than when you're at the beach. We also saw turtles and dolphins, which excited both the adults and the kids.
以前乗船し、子供が気に入っていたので、2回目の乗船でした。
波が大きい冬場の方が揺れがあって楽しいかもしれません。
穏やかなクルーズを希望する方は夏場がオススメです。
海の上なので、かなり日焼けします。日焼けしたくない方は、ビーチに居る時以上にしっかり日焼け対策をすることをお勧めします。
亀やイルカも見られて、大人も子供も大興奮でした。
Starting from Waikiki Beach, it's convenient if you're staying in Waikiki. You don't need to wake up particularly early.
When I participated in the dolphin tour, the meeting time was early in the morning, which was tough, and the dolphins just zipped by, so it didn't feel like swimming with them. In contrast, the sea turtles swam leisurely close by, which was very soothing. There were also plenty of fish swimming around.
I can't swim in deep water where my feet don't touch the bottom, but they provide something like a life vest, so I just float along.
I went with elementary and preschool children, and although we repeated the experience, they seemed scared of jumping into the sea, so we quickly retreated from snorkeling. Still, the experience of cutting through the wind off Waikiki on the catamaran was priceless.
出発がワイキキビーチなので、ワイキキ滞在であれば便利です。特別早起きする必要もないし。
イルカツアーに参加した時は集合時間が早朝で辛かったし、イルカはビュンビュン通過してしまうのでいっしょに泳ぐという感じではありませんでした。その点、ウミガメさんはゆったりと間近で泳いでくれて癒し度が高い。魚もいっぱい泳いでました。
私は足のつかない深さのところは泳げませんが、救命ベスト(?)のようなのをつけるのでぷかーっと浮きます。
小学生と幼稚園の子供と行きましたが、リピートですが、海にドボンが怖いようで、シュノーケリングは早々に退散。それでもカタマラン号でワイキキ沖の風を切る体験はプライスレスかと。
The meeting point at the hotel is about a 30-minute ride to the boat. When I participated in dolphin watching last time, we traveled quite far, so I wondered if we could see whales in such a city area. However, we spotted one about 30 minutes after departure! Since it was a larger boat, we couldn't get too close, but thanks to the crew's patience in spotting them, we were able to see a mother and baby whale quite closely in the second half of the trip.
The weather was nice, and even when we couldn't see any whales, the views of Honolulu were so beautiful that I didn't get bored. However, the waves were quite high, and there were moments when the boat rocked a lot, so I think anyone prone to motion sickness should definitely take medication. (I was fine, so I had a great time throughout!) The buffet-style sandwiches were also delicious.
When we returned to the hotel after getting off the boat, the bus was waiting in a different location. (By the way, in the morning, we were told to take the bus with the number one sign for the return trip.) Since the sign was held in a place not visible from the boat dock, we couldn't see it, so I thought it would be better if the boarding and alighting locations were the same. (I apologize if this was explained in English!)
集合場所のホテルから船までは30分程度。
前回イルカウォッチングに参加した際は、かなり遠くまで走ったので、こんな街中?で鯨が見れるのかな…と思いましたが、出航して30分程度で発見!
大きめの船の為なかなか近付く事は出来ませんでしたが、クルーの方が根気よく見定めてくれたおかげで、後半かなり近くで親子クジラの姿を見る事が出来ました。
天気も良く、クジラが見えない間もホノルルの景色がとても美しくて飽きませんでしたが、結構波が高くて大きく揺れる事があったので、乗り物酔いしやすい方は薬必須だと思います。(私は平気なので、終始とても楽しかったです!)
バイキング方式でのサンドイッチも美味しかったです。
船を降りてホテルに戻るとき、バスが離れた場所で待機されていたのですが(そういえば朝、帰りは1番の札を掲げたバスに乗って下さいねと言われた)、船乗り場から見えない場所で札を掲げられても私達は分からないので…、それなら乗降場所は同じようにされた方が良いのでは?と思いました。(英語で説明されていたなら、すみません!)
アロハ、レビューとVELTRAを通じてアトランティスホエールウォッチクルーズツアーをご予約いただきありがとうございます。マジェスティック号でのホエールウォッチクルーズを楽しんでいただけたと聞いて嬉しいです。
ご意見をいただき感謝し、またお会いできることを楽しみにしています。マハロ!
Aloha, thank you for your review and for booking an Atlantis Whale Watch Cruise tour through VELTRA. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your whale watch cruise aboard the Majestic.
We appreciate your feedback and hope you can join us again soon. Mahalo!
My child was able to ride something that they couldn't due to height restrictions last time, so we enjoyed it even more this time. You can have fun all day! I will definitely go again when I visit Hawaii.
子供が前回身長制限で乗れなかったものが、乗れるようになったので前回よりも満喫できました。一日中楽しめます!
ハワイに行った時はまた行きます。
It's a natural occurrence, so there's nothing that can be done, but I couldn't meet the dolphins on this day... There was a large turtle, though. The staff were bright and friendly. I'm really, really disappointed. I think it would be nice if they could consider a partial refund if we can't meet the dolphins. It's not about the money, but about the feelings.
自然のことだからしょうがないけど、この日はイルカさんには出会えませんでした…。
大きな亀さんはいました。スタッフの方は、明るく親切です。
本当に本当に残念。イルカと会えなければ少し返金、とか考えて貰えるといいかと思います。お金の問題ではなく、気持ちの問題で。
I chose a plan with transportation and brought water with me. Juice can be purchased on-site.
It's better to bring a change of clothes! Since the return trip is by regular bus, it would be difficult to stay wet. The air conditioning is also effective.
Unlike in Japan, there were thrilling slides, so adults could enjoy themselves too.
Additionally, it wasn't crowded, and there was almost no waiting time.
Waiting for just under 30 minutes to enter was tough in the strong sunlight.
Since I had read experiences beforehand, I was able to leave my valuables on a bench without worry.
Most of the visitors were Japanese or locals.
There were pictures of items like hamburgers, so even if you can't speak English, you can manage when ordering.
送迎ありのプランにし、水を持っていきました。ジュースは現地で購入です。
着替えを持参した方がいいです!
帰りも普通のバスの為、濡れたままは難しいと思います。クーラーも効いています。
日本のとは違って、スリル感満載のスライダーがあったりしたので、大人も楽しめました。
また、混んでなく、待ち時間はほぼなし。
入園するまでに30分弱待ったのが、日差しが強い中で大変でした。
事前に体験談を見ていたので、貴重品はほぼ持たずに、ベンチに荷物を置いていても大丈夫でした。
日本人、現地の人?が大半です。
ハンバーガーなどは写真があったりしたので、注文時も英語が話せなくても何とかなりました。
We arrived at the sandbar a little past the time of the lowest tide, so we didn't see the magnificent sandbar we had envisioned. However, we were able to have fun playing in the beautiful shallow waters offshore, even with the deep sea being a bit scary for the kids. During our subsequent sea turtle search, we were thrilled to encounter many sea turtles. Furthermore, during the snorkeling, although the visibility was low, the friendly and fun staff helped create a relaxed atmosphere, making it an enjoyable optional tour for all the participants.
サンドバーに到着した時間は、最も潮が引く時間帯を少し過ぎていたようで、描いていたような見事なサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、美しい沖の浅瀬で、まだ深い海が怖い子供とも楽しく遊ぶ事ができました。その後に行ったウミガメ探しでは、沢山のウミガメに出会うことが出来て感動でした。さらにその後のシュノーケリングでは、透明度は低かったのですが、親切かつ楽しいスタッフの方々の盛り上げもあり、沢山いた参加者もリラックスして楽しめるオプショナルツアーでした。
The staff's response is good. It's reassuring that they can communicate in Japanese. I think it's a valuable experience to be able to see sea turtles up close.
スタッフの対応は良い。日本語も通じる為安心できる。ウミガメを近くで見れるため貴重な体験ができると思う。
Aloha! I had a miraculous encounter with the honu, which is said to bring good luck. Please come visit again!
アロハ!幸運を運んでくると言われているホヌと奇跡的なご対面。
ぜひまた遊びにきてくださいね。
It was a pleasant cruise with great weather. Everyone on the deck was thrilled when a mother and baby whale spouted together! On the way back, a pod of dolphins appeared and put on an impressive spin show. The breakfast buffet was delicious, and I think it was enjoyable as a cruise even if we hadn't seen any whales.
天気もよく気持ちよいクルーズでした。クジラの親子がそろって潮吹きしたのでデッキのみんなは大興奮!
帰路にはイルカの群れが現れ、派手なスピンを見せてくれました。
朝食バイキングもおいしく、たとえクジラが見られなかったとしてもクルーズとして楽しめる内容だと思いました。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time on a beautiful day. Please come again; all of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.
Star of Honolulu
この度は私共のクルーズにご参加頂き誠に有難うございました。
お天気の良い日のご参加でお楽しみ頂けました様で大変嬉しく思います。
是非またお越しください
スタッフ一同お待ち申し上げております。
スターオブホノルル
Our driver was prompt and very friendly. The hike itself was not as touristy as Diamond Head and very beautiful.
It was a windy day in early March, so it was cold and I stayed inside the boat the whole time (laughs), but once the sun came out and I got in the sea, it was fine! (laughs) I was thrilled to see a sea turtle right beneath my feet while snorkeling! The instructor was very kind and took a lot of photos, which made for great memories! ♫
3月上旬で風の強い日だったので寒くて船の中にずっと居ました(笑)が、日が出れば暖かく海に一回入ってしまえばへっちゃらでした!(笑)
シュノーケリングでウミガメが足下に居て感動しました!インストラクターの方が親切にたくさん写真撮って頂いて良い思い出になりました♫
I participated with my 5-year-old child. The weather was great, making it a perfect day. The sandbar was exactly as I imagined it would be for my child, and it was truly moving. It was so beautiful.
After playing, we were hungry for some delicious hamburgers! The staff were very kind, their smiles warm, and they made us feel very welcome.
The sea turtle watching was thrilling, as we saw everything from adult turtles to baby turtles! My child kept saying how glad they were to be here, and I felt it was a great decision to book this tour.
Then came snorkeling! My daughter was worried since it was her first time, but the staff's explanations were easy to understand. We first practiced how to use the snorkeling gear in the shallow sandbar. Finally, we ventured into the deeper sea where we could see coral and fish. We put on life jackets and gave my child a float like a pole. I was nervous too. The staff kindly supported my daughter, who was unfamiliar with it!
Both my daughter and I relaxed and entered the world of coral and fish. After a break on the boat, my daughter expressed her desire to go back into the sea. During our second dive, we encountered a sea turtle. It was so cute, and the sight of us swimming together is still vividly etched in my memory. My daughter was so excited, saying it was adorable!
We truly spent a wonderful dream-like time. This was all thanks to the staff's detailed care. Thank you very much! I highly recommend this experience!
5歳の子供と2人で参加しました。お天気も良く最高な日でした。
サンドバーは子どもの喜ぶ様子が予想でき、まさに感動そのもの。とっても美しかったです。
遊んでお腹空いたところで、美味しいハンバーガー‼️
スタッフの方々がとっても親切で笑顔があたたかく、とっても感じよかったです。
そして、ウミガメウオッチングは、大人の亀から子亀まで見れて大興奮‼️子供がここにきてよかったーと何度も言って、このツアーを申し込んでよかったと思いました。
そして、シュノーケル!娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、とっても心配してましたが、スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすかったです。まずは、浅いサンドバーでシュノーケルの扱い方を練習。いよいよ、珊瑚、お魚の見える深い海です。ライフジャケット着て、ポールのような浮輪を子供にもたせました。私も緊張です。慣れない娘をスタッフの方々が優しくサポート‼️
私も娘も緊張がほぐれ、珊瑚とお魚の世界へと、、、
途中船に戻って、休憩して、海に行きたいと娘から言いました。2回目に潜った時はウミガメに遭遇。とっても可愛く、一緒に泳いだ光景は今もしっかり目に焼き付いています。娘も可愛かったね〜と大興奮‼️
本当に本当に素晴らしい夢の時間を過ごせめした。これもスタッフの細かいケアあってのお陰です。本当にありがとうございました。
是非是非‼️おススメですよ。
The weather, which had been a concern, cleared up and we had a pleasant start! YUKIKO's Japanese guide was friendly and made us feel comfortable.
There were many participants, so we had two boats: one with an English guide and the other with a Japanese guide. About 15 people went on the English tour, but since there were requests, we smoothly divided the groups.
We had an hour of free time at the sandbar, which allowed everyone to relax and enjoy themselves, and I was very satisfied. The freshly grilled hamburgers for lunch were delicious, but there was a big delay, possibly due to the large number of participants. It was disappointing to wait for about 20 minutes.
We looked for turtles from the boat and were able to see several, and we even spotted a manta ray in the distance, which was great. Finally, we went snorkeling around the coral reef, where we encountered a turtle underwater! It was a very satisfying time.
A note of caution: even though it was sunny, the water temperature is low during this season, so it can be cold when you come out of the water! It's essential to have a towel or something to wear over your swimsuit!
心配された天候も晴れて気持ちよくスタート!YUKIKOさんの日本語ガイドは気さくで気持ちよかったです。
参加者が多く、船は2艘になり1艘は英語ガイドもう1艘が日本語ガイドでした。15名程は英語ツアーに行っていましたが、希望もあったのでスムーズに班分けしました。
サンドバーでの自由時間は1hもあるためそれぞれゆっくりと過ごすことができて大満足。
昼食の焼き立てハンバーガーは美味しいのですが、参加者が多かったためか大渋滞。20分程立って待たされたのは残念。
カメ探しは船上からでしたが、何匹も見れたし、遠目にマンタも1枚見ることができて良かった。
最後にサンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリングしましたが、そこでも海中でカメと遭遇!大満足の時間でした~
注意事項は晴れていてもこの時期は水温が低いので水中から出ると寒い!タオルや水着の上から羽織れるものは必携です!
It was drizzling a bit, and the scenery I was hoping for in the photos was only somewhat beautiful, so I give it four stars. My expectations were quite high. However, I was very happy to see three sea turtles while snorkeling.
The lunch on the boat was delicious, with kalbi that had a flavor suited for Japanese tastes, and my family loved it. Since we were getting a bit tired of the meals, everyone was very pleased.
I participated in the Kailua tour. It was a fulfilling day with pancakes, shopping, and safe transportation included! Thank you, Frankie!
雨がパラパラ、少し曇っていて期待していた写真のような綺麗な景色は、少しだけだったので星4つ。期待値がかなり高かった為。シュノーケルでウミガメを三匹見れたのでとても良かった。
船上のランチも、カルビが美味しく日本人向けの味付けの食事で家族にも大好評。食事に飽きてきていた頃だったので、皆とっても喜んでいました。
カイルアツアーに参加。パンケーキに、買い物に、安心安全の送迎つき、充実した一日でした‼️フランキーありがとう
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. It's unfortunate that the weather wasn't sunny. Still, thank you for giving us a ☆4 rating. Our commitment to food is one of our prides. We are constantly experimenting to ensure our Japanese customers are satisfied, so we are glad to hear that you were pleased. Next time, we hope for a sunny day! All of our staff are sincerely looking forward to your revenge tour.
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。お天気が晴天ではなかったとのこと、残念です。それでも☆4つもいただき、ありがとうございます。お食事へのこだわりは、弊社の自慢の一つです。日本人のお客様に満足して頂けるように、日々試行錯誤しておりますので、ご満足いただけたようで、嬉しく思います。次回は、是非晴れた日に!!リベンジツアーをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
We participated with 12 people, including my 3-year-old grandchild, and the excitement was palpable as the sea turtles swam around the boat, allowing the elementary school kids to see them up close. There were also 3 to 4 turtles around the coral reef. At 70 years old, it was my first time swimming with sea turtles. I heard this year has the best gradient. We were blessed with great weather, and it was a very enjoyable time that passed in the blink of an eye. Thank you to all the staff.
孫を連れての12名での参加でしたが、3歳の孫をはじめ小学生たちは海亀が
船の周りを泳いだり、まじかで見ることが出来て大興奮でした。サンゴ礁の周りにも3~4匹いました。70歳の私も初めて海亀と泳ぎました。今年一番のグラデーションとの事。お天気にも恵まれとあっという間のとても楽しい時間でした。スタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour with your family. We hope you come back to visit us again. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご家族でご参加いただいてありがとうございました。
ぜひまた遊びにいらしてくださいね。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。
It's always fun to come here! There are various types of slides that the kids love, and we visit every time we come to Hawaii. I'm sure we'll come again when we visit Hawaii next time.
何度来ても楽しいです!
色々な種類のスライダーがあって、子どもたちは大好きで、ハワイに来るたびに来ています。
きっとまたハワイに来た時は来ると思います。
We had a precious experience together as a parent and child. We really enjoyed seeing the sea turtles, many dolphins, and manta rays, with great weather and calm waves. The staff were all kind, and they spoke Japanese, so we could participate without any worries. Thank you to everyone, especially Miu. I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii.
貴重な体験を親子でできました。
海ガメ親子、たくさんのイルカ、マンタ等、お天気も良く波もなく本当に楽しめました。スタッフのみなさんも親切で日本語も通じるし何の心配もなく参加できました。ミユーさん始めスタッフの皆さんありがとうございました。またハワイに行ったら是非参加したいです。
