Oahu
We had a really nice time. Saw some sea turtles and some fish. Unfortunately it was windy and a boat of scuba divers scared off the fish and turtles or should I say made it hard to keep up with them. The crew was completely awesome. The sail to the other side of Diamond Head was amazing. We had a really good time.
We were on our honeymoon and had a really great time. I would give it 4.5 stars but that wasn't an option so they got 5 because it was better than 4. Food was good and entertainment was excellent. Pictures and drinks were pricey but I guess that's expected.
I couldn't see sea turtles on the tour, but I was very satisfied to see many here. If you can swim, please consider renting or bringing your own fins. It seems to be a diving spot, and if you can dive to about 5 to 6 meters, you can see a variety of colorful fish. The area near the surface is full of black fish, so if you're confident in your swimming, give it a try. The staff was friendly, which was great.
海亀を見るツアーで見れなかったのですが、こちらで、いっぱい見れて大満足です。泳げる方は、是非フィンをレンタルもしくは、持参して下さい。ダイビングスポットらしく、5〜6m潜れれば、色とりどりの魚が見れます。海面付近は黒い魚だらけなので、泳ぎに自信のある人はチャレンジしてみて下さい。スタッフもフレンドリーな感じで良かったです。
I participated in the afternoon BBQ lunch. Since it wasn't originally a condition to see the sandbar, I accepted that and joined the tour. The tide was about knee-deep, but I was able to see beautiful scenery! I was also glad to see sea turtles, pufferfish, and striped jack. The staff were very cheerful, making it a fun tour! Next time, I want to join when the sandbar is visible! By the way, the food was delicious too.
午後のBBQランチ付き参加しました。
元々サンドバーが見れる条件ではなかったので、そこは納得してツアーに参加しました。
だいたい膝下くらいの潮位でしたが、綺麗な景色が見れました!
ウミガメやフグ、シマアジも見ることができてよかったです。
スタッフさんも凄く明るくて楽しいツアーになりました!
次回は、サンドバーが見えるタイミングを狙って参加したいです!!
ちなみに、ご飯も美味しかったです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and encountered many sea creatures, as well as the meals. Please come back and visit us again. We look forward to seeing you!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへご参加ありがとうございました。
美しい景色やたくさんの海の生き物たちとの遭遇はもちろんのことお食事も楽しんでいただけたようで本当に良かったです。
ぜひ!また遊びにいらしてくださいね。お待ちしてます。
We participated as a family of four, and while the food was delicious, I felt it was a bit expensive for the content of the dishes. Also, the venue was hard to find, and it took a while to reach the elevator! The show was in the front row, so it was powerful and truly impressive. I still enjoy watching the video. My grandchild was thrilled to have their favorite turtle tattooed on their arm. We had a wonderful night in Hawaii!
家族4人で参加しましたが、美味しかったのですが あのお料理の内容だと、少し高いように思いました。又会場がわかりにくくエレベーターに着くまで時間がかかりました!
ショーは最前列だったので 迫力があって素晴らしく感激しました。
いまでもビデオを見て楽しんでいます。孫が腕に大好きな亀のタッーを書いてもらい
大喜びでした。ハワイのステキな夜を過ごさせて頂きました!!
Unfortunately our scheduled Friday night cruise was cancelled due to rough conditions. The staff were fantastic to reschedule a daytime cruise for us on Sunday since we were leaving the next Thursday. The boat crew were very friendly, informative, safe and competent. We managed to see some green sea turtles and view the island scenery from the water. We were able to capture some wonderful photos to remind us of our visit to Oahu.
This was one of the best things we did in our short stay in Hawaii. The crew were helpful and kept us feeling safe the whole time. We got very close to a lot of turtles. We highly recommend as we want to go back again & again!
I participated with my husband and our 8-year-old daughter, and we had a great time. It felt so wonderful to walk in the middle of the ocean! The Japanese tour guide took photos in various ways and provided detailed instructions, which was very helpful. I wasn't expecting much from the hamburger, but it was authentic and delicious! The service was great, especially with warm drinks provided for our cold bodies!
The only thing that left me a bit unsatisfied was that I wanted to enjoy the scenery on the way to the sandbar, but there were too many explanations, and I couldn't fully appreciate the views. I understand that it's important, though. Also, since it was crowded, when I went to get lunch last, there were no salads or fruits left, and I wish they had reserved enough for everyone. It was especially disappointing since it was so tasty.
It was really fun! I would love to use this service again!
旦那、私、8歳娘で参加しましたが、とても楽しめました。海の真ん中を歩けるなんてとっても幸せな気分でした!
日本人のツアーのお姉さんが写真をいろんな形で、とってくださったり細かい指示を出してくれて助かります。
ハンバガーも期待していなかったら本格的で美味!
寒くなった体に温かい飲み物が出たりとサービスも良い!
大満足にしなかったのは、
サンドバーに着く間の景色も楽しみたかったが、説明が多く景色を堪能できなかった。大事なのはわかるんだけどね。
あとは、混んでいたからランチを最後に取りに行ったら、サラダもフルーツもなくなっていて、そこは人数分確保しておいてもらいたかったなー。美味だったから余計にね。
本当楽しかった!また利用したいです!
The tour was great. Luch was awesome! The highlight would have to be the vollyball game everyone in our group had a blast!
I participated last year as well, and it was so much fun that I joined again this year. The staff members are really fun people, the cruise is enjoyable, and the sandbar is incredibly beautiful! This time, sea turtles came very close, and I was able to see many of their adorable appearances. While snorkeling, I was able to swim alongside the sea turtles. It was another very enjoyable tour this year. I want to join again next year! 😊
去年も参加したのですが、とても楽しかったので今年もまた参加しました。
スタッフのみなさんはとっても楽しい人たちで、クルーズも楽しいし、
なんといってもサンドバーはすっごいきれいです!
今回はウミガメがすごく近くまで来てくれてたくさん可愛い姿が見れました。
シュノーケルをしてたときも、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことができました。
今年もとても楽しいツアーでした。
また来年も参加したいなぁ^^
I always wanted to check out the Turtle Canyon, and, on this particular trip, I was able to. My only complaint was that it was on the western edge of Waikiki Beach, which was somewhat inconvenient. In a perfect world, it would have been placed in the center of Waikiki's hotel row. I boarded the catamaran and was greeted by a very friendly and personable crew. Once on board, the staff gave us a safety briefing, then explained the protocol for snorkeling the area. Once we arrived at our destination, the captain dropped anchor and the group was off. It was not long before someone spotted some turtles. All of us watched in awe as we observed their underwater universe. We were in the water quite a while before the captain signaled us to come aboard. Then, we were treated to a magnificent sailing past Diamond Head and around Waikiki Beach. Between the snorkeling (an excellent exercise for me), the turtles and the sail, it was a perfect afternoon for me. I was back in time to go with my friend for evening entertainment. This is one of the top three activities you must do before you leave Hawaii. It is truly a magical day!
I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.
Thank you, Jay the guide, Captain, and Justin the staff. ❤ Mahalo
I really appreciate all your help this time!
The dolphin tour starting with Hawaiian rituals and how to interact with marine life was a great learning experience.
ガイドのジェイ、キャプテン、スタッフのジャスティン。ありがとう❤Maharo
このたびは、大変お世話になりました❗
ハワイの神事から始まるイルカツアー。海の生物との接し方。とても良い勉強になりました。
Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the tides, but... it was heartwarming to see what seemed to be the sea turtle we had helped before swimming around the boat. We were able to enjoy a side of Hawaii beyond just Waikiki.
潮の干満の関係で残念ながらサンドバーは見られませんでしたが…
以前助けられたウミガメらしく、船の周りを泳いでいるのを見ると何だかいじらしく思えました。ワイキキだけでないハワイを楽しむことができました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad you were able to see a sea turtle. While there's a high chance of encountering them, there are days when you can only see them from a distance. Wishing you lots of luck, Minachan!
アロハ〜!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。
ウミガメに会えたんですね。かなりの確率で会えるとはいえ、たま〜にですが遠目でしか会えない日もあるんですよ。
minachanに幸運がたくさん届きますように!
The Angel's Sea was great! On the day we went, it seemed to be close to high tide, so the sandy area wasn't exposed (the water level was about waist-deep at its lowest). But with the beautiful sea and blue sky... the staff helped us with taking photos, which was nice.
I'm really not good at swimming, but I managed with snorkeling (my husband was able to swim, which helped). If needed, it would be better to bring a floatation device or something similar.
I hope to visit again if there's another opportunity.
天使の海、良かったです!
私たちが行った日は、満潮に近かったようで、砂場は出ていませんでした。(海の高さは、低くても腰くらいだった)
でも、綺麗な海に、青い空…写真撮影もスタッフさんが手助けしてくださり、良かったです。
私はすごく泳ぎが苦手ですが、
シュノーケルも何とかなりました。(旦那さんが泳げたから助かりました)
必要であれば、浮き輪など持参した方が良いでしょう。
また機会があればよろしくお願いいたします。
As soon as we came upstairs to the luau, we were promptly met by the luau staff and directed to our table. On the way there, the dancers greeted us with leis and we received welcome Mai Tais. They have regular and virgin Mai Tais, which were good! Our drinks were never empty and the buffet line went smooth. Try the salad, chicken, and the poi - an excellent combination! The best dessert was the haupia and I also tried some bread pudding - both were very tasty. The show started with the MC singing a beautiful rendition of an American melody in Hawaiian verse. The dancers were excellent and the whole show is well worth seeing if you are in Waikiki.
I found the cruise to be very enjoyable. The skipper Clarey was awesome amd very friendly. All in all very good.
We went snorkeling as a family for the first time in Hawaii. Since the boat departs right in front of the hotel, you can easily enjoy it without having to go all the way to the North Shore. What surprised me was seeing a group of sea turtles swimming right in front of us. Even without snorkeling, the exhilarating feeling of sailing with the wind filling the sails was refreshing.
ハワイでは初めて家族でシュノーケリングしました。出船がホテルの目の前からなのでノースショアなどわざわざ行かなくてもお手軽に楽しめます。驚いたのは、ウミガメが目の前を群れなして泳ぐ姿が観れたこと。シュノーケリングしなくても帆に風をいっぱいに受けての疾走は爽快でした。
From pick up to drop off....it was the greatest adventure I ever experienced. Very professional and informative tour. Our pilot Julie was very impressive with her communication skills and presented the arial tour beautifully! Great job Julie....it was a memorable experience!
I thought about going to the pool when I came to Hawaii, but it turned out to be a great decision! There are various types of slides, and I was even unsure which one to try first. As adults, we had a blast! Since I went with a friend, we sometimes shared a four-person float on the slides, but that was also a lot of fun.
ハワイに来てプール?と思いましたが、行ってみて大正解でした!色々な種類のスライダーがありどれから行こうか悩んでしまうくらいです。いい大人が大はしゃぎしてしまいました。私は友人と2人で行ったので、4人乗りの浮き輪を使うスライダーの場合、あいのりになることありましたが、それもまた楽しかったです。
Aloha Nyantaro,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
Aloha にゃん太郎様、
ご貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。
The staff for the bus transfer didn't speak much Japanese, but as long as you can somewhat understand, you'll know when you're being called, so it's OK. The boat staff included Japanese staff, which was reassuring.
We enjoyed snorkeling and turtle watching, and if you time your visit to the sandbar correctly, you can experience the sandy beach in the water. When we went in early October 2016, the water was up to our knees, which was a bit disappointing, but we were glad to practice snorkeling in the beautiful sea and shallow waters!
バスでの送迎は少し日本語が通じないスタッフですが、なんとなくヒヤリングが出来れば呼ばれたりするのは分かるのでOK。船のスタッフは日本人スタッフもいるので安心でした。
シュノーケリングやタートルウォッチングも楽しめ、サンドバーは時期をしっかり見極めて行けば海の中の砂浜も体験できそうです。私達が行った2016年10月頭は膝まで水があり少し残念でしたが、綺麗な海のと浅瀬でのシュノーケリング練習が出来て良かったです!
I participated during a company trip. For those who know Presley, it must be irresistible! I also enjoyed it since Michael Jackson and Celine Dion are from my generation. The dining area is on the first floor, with one drink included (cocktail show) on the second floor, and the show only is at the back of the second floor. Even with a last-minute entry, I was in the second row from the front on the second floor. If you enter early, the front row would be... I think it would be fun. Note: The air conditioning is effective, so it's better to have something to wear.
社員旅行で滞在中に参加させて頂きました。プレスリーを知ってる年代の人にはたまらないでしょう♪マイケルジャクソン、セリーヌデイオンは僕も世代なので楽しめました。食事付きは1F、1ドリンク付(カクテルショー)は2F、ショーのみは2F後方になります。時間ギリギリでの入場でも2F前から2列目でした。早く入場すれば1列目は・・・楽しいと思います。注・エアコン効いてますので羽織るものあるとベターです。
Thank you very much for your visit. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
ご来場いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どもも大変嬉しく思っております。ハワイにいらした時には、またご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
I participated with three friends. I had heard that it was cold to go into the sea at this time of year, but the water was really cold! At the sandbar, even though the water was shallow, we were still submerged up to our knees. But the water was very clear! During the sea turtle watching, there were many sea turtles, but I couldn't get a good photo. While snorkeling, I unexpectedly saw a sea turtle up close! I was very satisfied!
友人3人で参加。この時期に海に入るのは寒いと聞いていたけど水は冷たかった‼サンドバーでは水が浅くても膝下まで浸かってる状態です。でも水がとてもきれいでした‼海亀ウォッチングでは海亀たくさんいたけどちゃんとした写真はとれず。シュノーケルしてたらまさかの海亀がいて至近距離で見ることができました!大満足です\(^_^)/
It was the most exciting experience in my life. Everything was awesome - the sand bar, sea turtles, friendly staff, yummy hamburgers, above all, snorkeling in the sea. I will definitely do it again.
There were more people than I expected, and there was hardly any time for snorkeling at the sandbar, so it felt rushed. That's a bit disappointing. However, the sea was beautiful, and I was able to see turtles well, so that was a positive aspect.
思ったより人数が多く、サンドバーでのシュノーケルは、ほとんど時間がなく、慌ただしかったです。
ちょっと残念。
ただ、海は綺麗でしたし、カメも良く見れましたので、その点は良かったかなと。
I had heard that the water level at Sandbar varies with the tides, so I went without too many expectations. Indeed, the water was up to my waist, but I had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball. The sea was much clearer than in Waikiki, and I'm glad I went. I'm also grateful for the excellent service from the reservation staff.
サンドバーは潮の満ち引きにより、海水の高さが違うとは聞いていましたので、あまり期待はせずに行きました。
確かに腰のあたりまで海水はありましたが、ビーチバレーなどもできて楽しかったです。
ワイキキよりもはるかに海もきれいで、いってよかったです。
予約の担当者もとてもいい対応をしてくれて感謝しています。
I went with my grandmother and family, and the staff who spoke Japanese were very attentive, so my grandmother was able to enjoy herself without worry. The BBQ (hamburger) that was grilled on the boat was surprisingly delicious. It was amazing to see sea turtles up close. The only downside was that the sandbar had water up to our waists, so it wasn't really an island. There was no place to change on-site, so I spread a bath towel on the bus seat to avoid getting it wet on the way back, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold.
おばあちゃんと家族で行ったのですが、日本語のできるスタッフさんがすごく面倒似てくれるのでおばあちゃんでも安心して楽しめました。船上で焼いてもらったBBQ(ハンバーグ)がとても美味しくて意外でした。ウミガメも近くで見れて最高です。残念だったのはサンドバーが腰ぐらい水があり島になっていないところです。現地で着替えるところはないので、帰りのバスのシートが濡れないようにバスタオルを引いてました、エアコンが効きすぎて寒かったです。
I have always dreamed of swimming with dolphins, so even though I was alone, I signed up!
The bus had the logo of Dolphins and You, making it easy to find. Once on the bus, I filled out a consent form on the iPad (in Japanese). We departed for the ocean to the west, about an hour from Waikiki. The bus was very clean and had a TV where we watched safety guides. They really make good use of travel time!
When we arrived at the port, there was a restroom break. There is also a restroom on the boat, but it's only for emergencies, so I recommend going beforehand. After receiving a wetsuit (USD 10.00), fins, and a snorkel mask, we boarded the boat! I was worried because it was windy that day, but the blue sky and blue ocean were so beautiful! Once we set off, I completely forgot about the wind and was super excited.
First, we searched for dolphins. The captain looked for them with his eyes. Once we spotted a pod of dolphins, we quickly got ready and jumped into the sea from the boat! I can swim, but since it was my first time snorkeling, I hesitated a bit... However, I felt safe with a life jacket on and the crew accompanying me. When I opened my eyes underwater, I saw the dorsal fins of the dolphins on the surface! And when I looked down, there was a pod of dolphins swimming gracefully beneath me!! I was so moved (*'▽').
Next, we set off for the second snorkeling spot, which was a paradise with sea turtles and tropical fish! It was amazing enough to swim with dolphins, but getting to swim with sea turtles too was just incredible~☆ Perhaps it was a backup plan in case we couldn't see dolphins. There, we enjoyed a boat slide and snorkeling. The sea turtles come up to the surface to breathe, so it’s important not to be directly in front of them, and the crew was strict about this for those who accidentally got too close. It’s impressive that this tour is eco-friendly and emphasizes nature conservation.
Eating burgers for lunch under the sun was the best! You could also choose your favorite mini chips. On the boat, the crew performed hula dances and let us go out on the captain's deck, providing great entertainment! Even as a solo traveler, they welcomed me as part of the 'ohana, which was reassuring. On the way back, they played the photos and videos taken that day, allowing us to relive the memories (they are also available for purchase).
I definitely want to do this again! The feeling of becoming one with the ocean is something everyone should try!
ずっと、イルカと泳ぐのが夢だったので、ひとりだったのですが申し込んじゃいました!
バスはDolphins and youとロゴが書いてあって簡単に見つかりました。バスに乗ったら、すぐにipadに書いてある同意書(日本語記載)を記入します。ワイキキから1時間くらいの西の海に出発します。
バスはとてもきれいで、TVつきでSafetyガイドなどを見ます。移動の時間も無駄にしないところがさすがですね!
港についたらトイレ休憩があります。ボートにもトイレはありますが緊急時のみ利用ということなので、あらかじめいっていくことをおすすめします。
ウェットスーツ(USD10.00)、フィン、シュノーケルマスクをもらったらボート乗船!
当日は風が強くて心配していましたが、ハワイならではの青い空、青い海!!
出発したら風のことなんて忘れてテンションあがりまくりでした。
まずは目的のいるか探し。キャプテンが肉眼で探します。いるかの群れをみつけたら、
急いで支度してボートから海へジャンプ!私は泳げるのですが、それでもはじめてのシュノーケリングだったのですこし尻込みしました。。。でも、ライフジャケットもつけていますし、クルーの人が一緒にきてくれるので安心しました。
そして海の中で目をあけると、水面にいるかの背びれが!そして、反対側を見ると自分のしたに
いるかの群れがすいすい泳いでいました!!顔を必死に水につけて凝視!
感動しました(*'▽')
次は第二のシュノーケリングスポットへ再出発。そこには、なんとウミガメと熱帯業のパラダイス!!イルカだけでも感動なのに、ウミガメとも泳がせてくれるなんて、素晴らしすぎる~☆
きっと、イルカが見れないときのための保険なのかもしれませんね。
そこでは、ボート滑り台とシュノーケリングをしました。
ウミガメは水面にあがって息継ぎをするので、真正面にいてはいけないらしく、クルーはたまたまいてしまったひとには厳しく注意していました。エコフレンドリーということで自然保護の照明をもらっているツアーならではで、さすがですね。
ランチのバーガーも太陽の下で食べるのは最高!ミニチップスも好きなものを選べます。
船上では、クルーがフラダンスをしたり、キャプテンデッキに出させてくれたり、
エンターテイメントが充実!ひとりでもオハナといって、受け入れてくれて心強かった~。
帰りのバスではその日とった写真やビデオを流してくれて余韻にひたれました。(購入も可能らしいです)
またリピートしたいです!海と一体化する感覚、皆様もぜひお試しあれ!
Arriving in Hawaii and immediately watching a show was a great experience. The thrill of seeing it live boosted my spirits and helped me overcome jet lag. I was also excited to shake hands with Elvis.
ハワイ到着早々のショウ鑑賞。生の醍醐味でテンションもあがり時差ぼけを解消してもらいました。エルビスとの握手も興奮しました。
Thank you very much for attending. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back when you visit Hawaii again.
ご来場いただきまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どもも大変嬉しく思っております。ハワイにいらした時には、またご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
After arriving in Hawaii, I found this site while searching for tours.
I thought I had chosen a day pass with transportation included, but when I arrived at the pickup location, I discovered that I had actually selected a tour without transportation.
While I admit I should have looked more closely, the way it was presented made it seem like transportation was included, which was very confusing.
In the end, I took the local city bus, which cost $2.50 one way from Waikiki.
Once there, the entrance ticket was $49 with a $10 off-season discount. I was able to borrow life jackets and floats for free, so there was really no point in signing up for the tour.
In fact, the tour we took by transferring on the city bus was more enjoyable.
The theme park itself was cold, but I had fun.
I hope the site improves its presentation to be clearer.
ハワイ到着後にツアー検索していたら、こちらのサイトに辿り着きました。
送迎付きの1日パスを選んだつもりが、
送迎集合場所に着いてから、
まさかの送迎なしのツアーを選んだことが発覚。
良く見なかった自分が悪いのもありますが、
あたかも送迎付きかのような表記がしてあり、
非常にわかり辛かったと思います。
結局、現地の市バスを乗り継いで行きましたが、ワイキキから片道2ドル50セントで行けました。
現地について、入場券もオフシーズンなのか10ドル割引で49ドル。
ライフジャケットや浮輪も無料で借りられ、
ツアーに申し込んだ意味が全くなかったです。
逆に自分たちで市バスを乗り継いで行ったツアーの方が楽しかったです。
テーマパーク自体は寒かったですが、
楽しめました。
サイトの表記をもっとわかりやすいように改善して欲しいと思います。
Aloha,
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
アロハ、
