Oahu
It's all about timing when it comes to seeing whales, so I understand that. However, it was mentioned that if we couldn't see them, we could create a lei or have a ukulele experience, but we didn't do that. That's not fair ( ´∵`) The buffet had a limited selection as well. I feel like I wasted my time...
鯨に会えるのはタイミングなので仕方ないですが、会えない時はレイの作成かウクレレ体験ができると書いてあったのに、してません。
嘘はダメでしょ( ´∵`)
ブュッフェ料理も品数が少ないし。
ムダな時間を使いました…
Thank you for using VELTRA.
However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
Please understand that the creation of leis and the ukulele experience you mentioned are activities conducted by other tour providers, not part of the whale watching you participated in.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

It wasn't sunny, but I was able to see dolphins, and it was fun. If I have the chance, I would like to participate again.
晴天ではありませんでしたが、イルカも見ることができ、
楽しかったです。機会があれば、また参加したいと思います。
I also booked through VELTRA, just like at Sandbar. I was able to enjoy the view of Waikiki from a different perspective while getting splashed by the waves out at sea. There was a nice white wine with a pleasant barrel aroma that I really liked, and I had a luxurious time. Thank you very much!
サンドバーと同じくVELTRAさんでお願いしました。沖で波のしぶきをかぶったり普段見ている方向からのワイキキ前景を眺める事ができました。ワインも結構好みの樽香のする白ワインがあり贅沢な時を過ごすことができました。有難うございました!
We participated as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day, and it was very cold, so we couldn't stay in the sea for long. However, thanks to the staff's fun talks, we were able to have a great time. There was a beach volleyball net set up at the sandbar, and I think it would have been even more enjoyable on a warm day. We did snorkeling near the coral, and since it was shallow, we could see many fish up close. There were also families with small children participating, and the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely, so I recommend this activity for families!
夫婦2人で参加しました。当日は生憎のお天気でとても寒かった為、海にながく入っていることができませんでしたが、スタッフさんの楽しいトークのおかげでワイワイ楽しく過ごすことができました。サンドバーにはビーチバレーのネットが張ってあり、暖かい日であれば更に楽しかっただろうなぁと思います。シュノーケリングは珊瑚の近くで行い、浅かったため近くで沢山の魚をみることができました。小さいお子さんを連れた家族も参加されており、お子さんも安全に楽しめていたので家族で参加されるのもオススメです!
I couldn't see any whales, but I was picked up on time, and if you can't see them, you can receive a re-boarding ticket. However, that depends on whether there are available dates. It's all a matter of luck, so I would like to try again if possible.
クジラみれませんでしたが、時間通りにピックアップいただきましたし、見れない場合は再乗船チケットをもらえます。ただ、日程に空き日があれば、ですが。こればかりは運なので、また可能であれば挑戦したいと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time.
Please do come back and try again.
All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you.

Unfortunately we didn’t see any whales on the cruise (the same cruise the day before saw 8 we heard from another passenger), but they gave us a voucher to return because they guarantee you will see whales. We found the crew to be fun and friendly. We appreciated the drinks and snacks. My kids and I have been boating a lot so the rough seas and rainy weather didn’t bother us, but several passengers were sick. A day on the ocean with beautiful island views, regardless of rain, is still better than a day at work or school!
It's surprisingly small, and the slides are just average. Considering the price, it's not really worth it for a full day of fun compared to Disney-class pricing. To be honest, I probably won't go again. It might be good for small children, preschoolers, and early elementary school kids, but even so, considering the distance from Waikiki, it might be better to just use the hotel pool.
意外と狭く、スライダーも普通レベル。料金から考えるとディズニークラスの料金の割には一日中遊べるかといわれるとそうでもない。
はっきり言ってもう二度と行かないだろう。
小さな子供、未就学児から小学生低学年には良いかもしれないが、それでもワイキキからの距離を考えたらホテルのプールでも良いかもしれない。
Unfortunately, there was wind on the day, and the whales did not appear at sea, which was disappointing. It was good that breakfast was included with the Viking cruise.
当日風があり、残念ながら海上にクジラは現れなかったので、がっかり。バイキングの朝食がついていたので良かった。
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。
Overall an amazing experience I grew up in Hawaii and brought my girlfriend to experience what I had not yet experienced this wonderful catamaran experience!! Loved every aspect of it the boat ride lunch drinks jumping in and swimming with turtles it can’t be beat !!!
This was a great trip for my family! We did not get to see any dolphins but we got to see plenty of schools of fish and two sea turtles. The crew was excellent and made sure each and everyone of the guests had a great experience. Very patient with the kids and made it fun for them. Food was traditional Hawaiian meal and very good, with plenty of extra for seconds. Drinks were good too!
Enjoyed the evening from start to finish - loved the meet and greet, the food was great and the selection unbelievable. The entertainment at the dinner and the participation by those having dinner created a happy and enjoyable experience. Following dinner the meet and photo session with Katie got everyone off to a great start for the show. I am a mad Elvis fan and an Australian who has been to Graceland 5 times, I had photos taken with Elvis after the show and told him that I have seen many Elvis impersonators and he is the best by far. I loved the show and the added input of the Beach Boys who I also love. The added attraction of the films behind the entertainers was fantastic. The backing band also were tops and the Hawaiian dancers right up there with the best.
My personal favorite part of the show - Elvis for sure - he blew me away and the way he moved about the audience during the songs made sure everyone had a great time. Will make sure during our next visit I and my colleagues will attend the show again!
The weather in March was not great, with strong winds and a bit chilly. However, the whales were surprisingly active, much to the guide's amazement, and we were able to see many of them! Although it was a large cruise ship, they made precise turns and got close whenever whales appeared, which was very satisfying! I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering going.
The air conditioning inside the ship and the sea breeze on the deck were cold, so long sleeves were a must.
参加した3月はお天気もイマイチで風も強く、肌寒かったです。
しかし、ガイド?さんもびっくりする程クジラ達は活動的だったようで、たくさんのクジラを見ることができました!
大きなクルーズ船ですが、クジラが出るたび細かく方向転換したり近付いたりして頂き大満足!
迷っている方はおすすめです。
船内のクーラーやデッキの海風は寒く、長袖はマストでした。
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。
A few years ago, I had a lot of fun, so I made a reservation to go again this time. Upon entering the park, I first thought, "Was it this narrow?" Before I knew it, I had finished playing everything, and I was wondering how to kill time until the return bus. The board lessons had almost no instruction, and everyone just rode the waves on their own. As for the all-you-can-drink option, since it's America, I guess it's unavoidable that it was mostly soda; I would have liked water to be included as an option. I feel like I might return if the prices go down or if more attractions are added.
何年か前に遊んで非常に楽しかったので、また行きたくて今回予約しました。
パークに入って、こんなに狭かったっけ?とまず思いました。
あっという間に一通り遊び終えてしまい、帰りのバスまで時間をどうやって潰そうか悩みました。
ボードのレッスンはほとんど指導なしで各自波に勝手にのるだけ。
飲み放題はアメリカだから仕方ないのか炭酸ばかりで水も選択肢に入れて欲しかったです。
値段が安くなるか、アトラクションが増えるならリピートするかなって感じです。
The tide was shallow, and there were many sea turtles, which was wonderful! If the weather had been better, it might have been even more amazing! The guide and the captain were nice people, and I had a great time.
潮も浅く、ウミガメもたくさんいて素晴らしかった!天気が良かったらもっと最高だったかも!!ガイドのお姉さんやキャプテンもいい人でとてもいい時間を過ごせました。
Aloha! I hope Mr. Bacon got to meet a lot of sea turtles. Please come visit again! I hope the weather is wonderful that day.
アロハ!ベーコンさんウミガメにたくさん会えてほかったですね。
ぜひ!また遊びに来て下さい。その日はう〜んとお天気に恵まれますように。
I was a bit anxious after reading reviews that mentioned not seeing whales and people getting seasick. I also had concerns about getting to the meeting point on my own, but I was able to smoothly take the bus from my hotel without any issues. I used the service on March 11.
It was a little cold, but the view of Waikiki from the sea was absolutely wonderful. I thought that even if I didn't see any whales, it would still be nice to go cruising.
Once we got out to sea, I was able to spot whale spouts and tails several times, and I even saw whales jumping and a mother and calf. It was great! I'm really glad I participated.
Also, once on the boat, they take photos of you, which are later sold for $20. I wanted the photos, but the price was too high for me to consider buying (I wish it were at least $5), and I felt bad declining. If you're not planning to buy, it might be better to skip the photos altogether.
クチコミを見たら、クジラが見れなくて残念とか船酔いしてる人がいたとか書いてあり不安でした。
集合場所にも自分で行かないと行けない不安もありましたが、ホテルから路線バスでスムーズに行く事が出来て、問題なし。
3月11日に利用しました。
少し寒かったのですが、海から見るワイキキは凄く素敵で、クジラが見れなくてもクルージングに来たと思えばいいかな。と思ってました。
沖に出るとクジラの潮吹きや尾ひれを何度か確認出来、そしてクジラのジャンプ?や親子を見る事が出来ました。良かった~~♪
参加して良かったと思いました。
あと船内に入ると写真を撮られるのですが、後で20ドルで販売されます。
写真は欲しかったのですが、値段が高くて買う気になれず(せめて5ドルとかにしてほしい)、断るのも申し訳なくなります。
買う気がない方は写真を撮らずにスルーした方がいいかもしれません。
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.

There were plenty of slides, and we ran around and rode them multiple times. Both adults and children had a great time.
Additionally, the FlowRider, which you can participate in for an extra fee, was really fun. Watching others struggle and laughing so hard was enjoyable; it’s amusing how things don’t always go as planned. This is a must-see!
The food and drinks inside are pricey, but the warm food you can eat when you're completely exhausted is delicious. I want to go again!
スライダーが豊富で走り回って何度も乗りました。大人も子供も十分楽しめた。
さらにお金を払って参加できるダ・フローライダーがとっても面白かったです。人のを見ながらお腹を抱えて笑えるほど なかなかうまく思い通りに行かないのがまた楽しい
これは必見ですよ
中の飲食は高いけど疲れ切った時に食べる温かいフードがまたうまい
また行きたいです
The weather was a bit bad and the wind was cold, but the staff were very kind and I was able to enjoy myself! The hamburger we had on the boat was delicious, and I thought it would be great to go again on a nice day. The snorkeling time was just right, and when I dove in, there were lots of fish, and I was able to swim with them, which was a wonderful experience! I wish I could have swum with a sea turtle, but I didn't happen to see one, so I want to try again next time! If I have the opportunity, I definitely want to participate again!☆
少し天気が悪く風が冷たかったですがスタッフの皆様もとても優しくて楽しめることができました!船の上でたべるハンバーガーも美味しくて次は天気が良い日にいけたら最高だな、と思いました^ ^ シュノーケルの時間もちょうど良くて潜ったらいっぱい魚がいて一緒に泳げてとてもいい時間が過ごせました!海ガメと一緒に泳げたら良かったけどたまたま会えなかったので次回また挑戦したいです!また機会がありましたら次回も絶対に参加したいです!☆
I participated in a monitor tour with my child. We entered the park and had the lunch shown in the photo right away before the restaurants got crowded (there were over 20 people in line by after 12:00).
Many of the slides use large, dedicated inflatable rings, which provide an incredible thrill. The tornado slide in the photo is especially amazing and offers a sensation that can't be experienced in Japan, so I highly recommend it.
The coin lockers have buttons with Japanese labels, so you can use them with peace of mind. The showers in the changing rooms only had cold water, but the restrooms, including the makeup area, were spacious, clean, and comfortable.
You can buy ice cream, snacks, and drinks at the shops in the park, so if the restaurants are crowded, it might be a good idea to use these options. It wasn't too crowded, so we were able to relax and enjoy our time. The transportation was smooth and reassuring, so I would like to participate again.
子どもと共にモニターツアーで参加させて頂きました。パーク内の飲食店が混雑する前に入場してすぐに写真のランチを頂きました。(12時過ぎには20人以上並んでいました。)
スライダーは大型の専用浮き輪を使用するものが多く、ものすごい迫力で楽しめます。特に写真にあるトルネードが最高で、日本では味わえない感覚なのでオススメです。
コインロッカーは日本語表記ボタンがあるので、安心して使用出来ます。
更衣室のシャワーは水のみでしたが、化粧室も含めて広くて綺麗で快適でした。
園内の売店でアイスクリームやスナック菓子、ドリンク類が購入出来ますので、飲食店が混んでいたらこちらを利用するのもよいかと思います。
余り混雑していなかったので、のんびり過ごす事が出来ました。送迎もスムーズで安心出来たので、また参加したいです。
The attractions were fantastic, and even adults could feel the thrill! My kids, in second and fifth grade, had a blast, and I ended up with muscle pain the next day (laughs). I had a set of a hamburger and a frankfurter, and it was delicious (*´∀`*). The portion sizes were similar to those in Japan, not American-sized, but the fries were plentiful. It was a satisfying amount!
アトラクションが充実してて、大人でも迫力を感じるものばかりでした!
小2と小5の子供も大はしゃぎで、私は次の日に筋肉痛に襲われるほど(笑)
ハンバーガーとフランクフルトのセットを食べましたが、美味しかったです(*´∀`*)ボリュームは、アメリカンサイズではなく日本と同じくらいのサイズで、添えのポテトのみ多かったです。充分満足できる量でした!
I went whale watching using a wheelchair on a trip with my mother. The staff were very kind and helped us out. We were able to see the whales spouting water and swimming alongside us, and we even saw their tails twice. I was worried we might not see anything, so I was glad my mother enjoyed it.
母との旅行で車椅子を利用してのホェールウォチングでした。スタッフの方々がとても親切でお手伝いしてくださいました。
鯨は潮を吹いていたり、並行して泳いでくれているかんじでみえたり、しっぽまでも2回みれました。
みえないものかなーと思っていたので母にもよろこんでもらえてよかったです。
Loved the dinner and show from start to finish! All of the performers were interactive and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for all ages!
From the bus ride (Bow was a great and informative guide) to the food to the great show that was put on, it was an awesome time. Never a dull moment. The staff went about and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this luau.
In March in Hawaii, it is the rainy season, so the morning of the event was cloudy. We set off hoping for a glimpse of sunshine. About ten minutes into the boat ride, we spotted a sandbar where the colors of the ocean changed like a gradient. The water level was just around knee height.
Since we had quite a bit of time, we were able to take plenty of photos, and some people were enjoying beach volleyball. After that, we enjoyed hamburgers made with meat grilled by the staff on the boat. They placed the meat and cheese on the buns, and we were free to top them with lettuce, tomatoes, and other vegetables. It was very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied!
Afterward, we moved a bit from the sandbar to go sea turtle watching. Unfortunately, there weren't many turtles, and we could only see a few, but we were able to witness the adorable moment when a sea turtle poked its head out of the water to breathe.
Although the weather was unstable and we couldn't see the scenery we had envisioned, I believe that if it had been sunny, we could have enjoyed beautiful views not only at the sandbar but also while snorkeling.
Despite the disappointing weather, I had a very enjoyable time. Thank you!
ハワイの3月は雨季ということもあり、参加日の朝は曇りでした。
晴れ間がのぞくことを期待しながら出発。船に乗ること10分ほどでグラデーションのように海の色が変わっているサンドバーが見えてきました。水位は丁度膝の辺り。
時間は割とあるので、存分に写真も撮れますしビーチバレーを楽しんでる方もいました。
その後はスタッフさんが船上で焼いて下さったお肉のハンバーガーを頂きました。バンズにお肉とチーズをのせてくれるので、その上に自分でレタスやトマトなど野菜を自由にトッピングする形でした。とても美味しく大満足!
その後サンドバーから少し移動して海ガメウォッチングを行いました。残念ながらあまりたくさんおらず、少ししか見ることができませんでしたが、海ガメが呼吸をするために海面から頭を出す可愛らしい瞬間を見ることはできました。
今回のツアーは天気が不安定で思い描いていた景色は見られませんでしたが、晴れていればサンドバーに限らずシュノーケリング時にもかなり綺麗な景色を見ることができると思います。
天気は残念でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました!
I had been wanting to go ever since I saw it on a certain TV program! Since it was a weekday, it was relatively empty, and I was able to experience most attractions without waiting in line. There were not many Japanese people around, so I could enjoy myself without worrying too much about my surroundings! Before joining the tour, I was concerned that the stay would be quite long and that I might get bored, but there were so many different attractions, and it was truly fun—it went by in no time!! If I go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to visit again!
某テレビ番組で拝見してからずっと行きたいと思っていました!
平日ということもあり(?)空いていてアトラクションは殆ど並ばずに体験できました。
日本人も少なくあまり周りを気にせず楽しめて良かったです!
ツアーに参加する前は滞在時間が結構長く時間を持て余さないか心配しましたが、アトラクションの種類も多く、本当に楽しくてあっという間でした!!
次回ハワイに行くことがあれば是非また行きたいと思いました!
In the photos, it looked like the water was at ankle height, but when we actually went, it reached up to our waists. We didn't go snorkeling, so we were a bit bored while everyone else was snorkeling. There was also a pregnant woman who didn't get in the water, so I think she was even more bored. We did get to see a sea turtle!
写真では足首くらいのイメージだったが、実際行くと腰まで海がきていました。私たちはシュノーケリングをしませんでしが、皆んながシュノーケリングをしている間自由行動なので暇です。あと妊婦さんもきていましたが、海にも浸かっていなかったのでもっと暇だったと思います。ウミガメには会えました!
The driver with the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea panel will pick you up at the designated meeting spot. It takes about 50 minutes from Waikiki to the port. The weather was bad that day, with strong winds and cloudy skies, making it a bit chilly to go into the water. I borrowed a wetsuit for snorkeling because it was cold. While swimming near the coral reef, I was able to see a honu three times. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera or a waterproof cover for your smartphone. When I go back to Hawaii, I want to try again on a sunny day.
キャプテンブルース天国の海のパネルを持った運転手さんが指定の待ち合わせ場所でピックアップして下さいます。ワイキキから港までは50分ほど。当日は朝から天気が悪く、強風と曇り空で海に入るのが少し寒かったです。シュノーケリングでは寒いのでウエットスーツを借りました。サンゴ礁近辺を泳いでいると、ホヌに3回も会うことが出来ました。防水カメラまたはスマホの防水カバーの持参をおすすめします。ハワイにまた行くときは天気の良い日にリベンジしたいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. It was great to have your family with us. Please come back and visit us again! We look forward to that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo!!!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございます。ご家族でご参加でしたね。
ぜひ!また皆様で遊びにいらして下さいね。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!!!
Unfortunately, the rain and fog prevented us from having the helicopter tour which is what we were most looking forward to. We had a fantastic tour guide and had a marvelous time at the orchid gardens. But with the weather, and being as this was an outdoor tour, it was disappointing and very wet.
The first day had nice weather and a pleasant cruise, but we didn't see any whales, so we tried again the next day. On that day, we suddenly spotted a spout, and then we were able to see baby whales multiple times while anchored for over an hour. However, the weather was bad, and the wind was very cold.
1日目はいいお天気で気持ちよいクルージングでしたが、クジラはまったく現れず、翌日リベンジしました。そうしたら、翌日はいきなり潮吹きが見えて、それから1時間以上停泊して何度もクジラの赤ちゃんを見ることができました。でも天気は悪くて風がとても寒かったです。
Our tour was fantastic! Weather was gorgeous. We were picked up right on time. Patrick our tour guide/bus driver was very informative and fun. Included a tour of Honolulu with one stop off the bus because we were running ahead of schedule. This was a welcome plus to the trip. Would definitely recommend!!!
In mid-March, there were hardly any whales. I wonder if you might see them depending on luck. It might be nice to think of the cruise as a way to see Diamond Head from the sea! If you can spot a whale, it feels like a bonus!
3月中旬と言う時期的な問題なのか、クジラはほとんどいませんでした。
運次第では観れるのかなとも思います。
クルージングで、ワイキキからダイアモンドヘッドを海から見えると思えば良いのかな!
クジラが見えればお得と思います!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to fully enjoy whale watching this time.
We hope you will have the opportunity to enjoy it next time.
All of our staff look forward to welcoming you again.
