Oahu
We participated as a family of four. It was fully booked. Unfortunately, the area with white sand was submerged in the water, making it feel like we were at a sandbar, but the colors of the sky and sea were beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles quite closely. The burgers, which were grilled to perfection, were very delicious.
家族4人で参加しました。定員いっぱいでした。あいにく白い砂のところは海面につかっていて
ここがサンドバーなのかという感じでしたが、空と海の色は美しく、ウミガメにも結構そばで
あえました。じっくりやいてくれたバーガーはとてもおいしいものでした。
I participated in this tour, but unfortunately, the weather was not good, and I couldn't fully enjoy the beautiful colors of the sea and sky, which was very disappointing. It started to rain heavily, and it was quite cold on the boat.
The staff included some Japanese people, so I didn't have any trouble. Next time I participate, I would like to have a revenge on a nice day.
今回ツアーに参加させて頂きましたが、生憎の天気で
せっかくの綺麗な海と空の色が満足するように見れず、とても残念でした。
途中から強い雨が降ったりなどで、船上でもとても寒かったです。
スタッフの方々は日本人の方がいたりして、困ることはありませんでした。
次参加する時は、天気の良い日にリベンジしたいです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. We look forward to your return!
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した。
ぜひ!りべんじお待ちしてます。
Although we were past the departure time, we waited for about 20 minutes. The sandbar was beautiful enough to see from a distance, but it was deeper than I had imagined, with a depth of about 100 cm. Also, the water temperature was surprisingly low. The sea turtle watching was a bit far away, and I was unlucky. During snorkeling, I got stung by a jellyfish and had to give up halfway; I wanted to enjoy it a bit more. There were others who got stung as well. I'm not sure if it was because of that or if the captain just liked me, but I was lucky to be allowed to steer the boat on the way back. The view from the prime seat was great.
出発時間を過ぎているのに、20分くらいは待たされた。サンドバーは遠目から見てもわかるほど綺麗だったが、想像していたよりも深く、水深100cmくらいはあった。あと水温が意外と低い。ウミガメウォッチングはちょっと遠くて、運が悪かった。シュノーケリングではクラゲに刺されて途中で断念し、もう少し楽しみたかった。他にも刺されている人がいた。そのこともあってなのか、船長に気に入られたからなのかは不明だが、帰りに操縦をさせて貰えたのはラッキーだった。特等席からの景色は良かった。
We had a fantastic time! I would do this again too. The staff was very professional and made us feel safe and very welcomed.
We participated as a family of five. It was very enjoyable and became the best memory. The only downside was that the sandbar was not visible above the water and was submerged.
家族5人で参加しました。
とても楽しく最高の思い出になりました。
ちょっと残念なのはサンドバーが海上に見えず水中に沈んでいたことです。
The sea in heaven was more beautiful than I imagined. Although there wasn't a sandy beach, it felt great just to walk around, and you can take wonderful photos.
I also recommend snorkeling afterward. It was an amazing experience when I encountered a sea turtle while swimming.
Lastly, when I returned to the boat after swimming, it was quite cold, so I think having a light jacket would be convenient.
天国の海は想像以上にキレイでした。砂浜が出てるわけではなかったけど、歩くだけで気持ちいいし、素敵な写真が撮れます。
またその後のシュノーケリングがオススメです。泳いでるときに海ガメと出会えたときは感動です。
最後泳いだあと船に戻ったときに、けっこう寒かったので、羽織りものがあったほうが便利と思います。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Tomokiyo's post concisely highlights the important points. Mahalo nui loa!!
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した。
ともきよ様の書き込みは重要ポイントを完結にご案内頂いてますね。Mahalo nui loa!!
It took about an hour by bus from Waikiki (I was mostly asleep, so I’m not sure, haha) to arrive. The weather was bad along the way, with downpours like a tropical rainstorm, but it was cloudy when we got there. At least it wasn't raining, but it was quite cool.
Once on board, I sat wherever I liked and we set sail. Along the way, I saw a lot of army training planes, which was amazing! I also caught a glimpse of some sea turtles, which was nice.
When we arrived, the view was breathtaking, just like in the pictures! It was cloudy, which was a bit disappointing, but it was truly beautiful! According to the guide, the tide was the lowest it had been recently, but by the time we got off the boat and headed to the sandbar, the water was already up to my waist, haha.
The snorkeling was beautiful and a lot of fun! One thing I regret is that after swimming, it was cool, so I should have brought a change of clothes or something like a hoodie to throw on. I also brought a Ziploc bag for my phone to take pictures, but I really wish I had prepared a more serious waterproof case.
ワイキキからバスで1時間位?(ほぼ寝ててわからず(笑))で到着。
途中天気も悪くてスコールの様な雨が降ったりしたけど到着したら曇り。
雨が降ってないだけ良かったけど結構涼しかった。
乗船してから好きな席に座って出港。
道中アーミーの飛行訓練の飛行機がたくさん見れてすごかった!あと海がめも少し見れて良かった。
到着したら写真みたいな絶景!曇ってて残念だったけど本当に綺麗だった!!
ガイドさんによると最近で1番潮が引いてるって言われたけど船下りてサンドバー向かう時は
既に腰までつかっちゃう(笑)
あとシュノーケリングも綺麗で楽しかった♪
反省としては泳いだ後は涼しいから着替えかパーカー等の羽織る物をもっと持って行けば良かった。あとは写真撮るために携帯用にジップロック持ってったけど、やっぱりもっと本気の防水ケース用意して行けば良かったって後悔。。。
I was imagining a sandbar like in the picture, but due to the tides, the sandbar didn't appear, and I was in water up to my waist. However, the scenery was beautiful. I also saw a sea turtle, just a little bit. The lunch was delicious, with a hamburger made from freshly grilled meat right there.
写真のようなサンドバーを想像していたら、潮の満ち引きの関係でサンドバーは現れず腰まで水につかる感じでした。でも景色はキレイです。ウミガメも、ちょっとだけみれました。ランチはその場で焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガ―が美味しかったです。
I had almost no experience with snorkeling, but I wanted to see dolphins up close, so I participated alone. Despite my age and the fact that I usually only do desk work, I was a bit worried about my physical fitness, but being optimistic by nature, I joined in on a whim, and it was really great. I felt so moved!! It became the best memory of my trip to Hawaii. I also think that being able to speak Japanese helped me participate with peace of mind. The burger I had on the boat was delicious, and I truly had a wonderful time.
シュノーケリングの経験もほとんど皆無だったけど、イルカを真近に見たくて一人で参加しました。高年齢もさることながら日頃デスクワークしかしていないので 体力的な心配もありましたが楽天的な性格なので、ノリで参加しましたが凄く良かったです。すごい感動を覚えました!!ハワイ旅行の中で一番の思い出になりました。日本語が話せた事も 安心して参加できた事だと
思いました。船上で食べたバーガーも美味しかった、本当に楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
I was most looking forward to my trip to Hawaii.
It was disappointing that the sky was cloudy, but the sandbar was magical and beautiful.
The hamburger I had on the boat was incredibly delicious!
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていました。
空は曇っていたのが残念でしたが、サンドバーは幻想的で綺麗でした。
船の上で頂くハンバーガーはすごく美味しかったです!
Staff was excellent. They tended to all our needs with Aloha service. A must do trip when staying on the island.
We had an amazing time. Would recommend to anyone. Fun for all ages
I heard rumors that it was delicious, so I went to check it out, and it was really tasty. There were many varieties of wine, and it had a great atmosphere!
噂で美味しいと聞いて行って見ましたが本当に美味しかった。
ワインの種類も多くてとてもいい感じでした!
Very unforgettable experience. The food is Good, server is nice.
I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. It was my first time going on a sandbar tour, and I was impressed by the beautiful gradient of the sea! The weather was great, and I was satisfied with all the photos I took.
Snorkeling was also fun, as I saw a lot of fish. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, although some people did spot them. Personally, I found the hamburger for lunch to be very delicious.
新婚旅行で参加しました。サンドバーのツアーに行くのは初めてでしたが、海のグラデーションがとてもきれいで感激しました!天気も良く、写真もたくさんとれて満足しました^ ^
シュノーケリングもたくさん魚が見れて楽しかったです。残念ながら海ガメは見ることはできませんでした(^_^;)見つけてる方もいましたが。
個人的には、昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです^ ^
I participated with ten colleagues. While I slightly regretted not choosing the ranch tour instead of the dolphin cruise, it turned out to be the right choice.
Waking up early was tough, but I took motion sickness medication and wore a seasickness wristband (which I bought on the bus for $20, thinking it would be worth it if I could use it multiple times), and I felt great. The weather was nice, and we encountered dolphins early on. Although they sometimes swim away, they came quite close, allowing us to see them well. After that, we were able to swim near a large turtle, which was an amazing experience.
Before swimming, we sang a song to pray for safety and threw flowers together. The crew's singing and Hawaiian dance were also great, and the hamburgers and chips we had on the boat were delicious. I found the chips at the airport on the way back and bought some as souvenirs.
On the last day, I arranged to meet with one of the crew members, Mai, to experience yoga in the park. I definitely want to go back to Hawaii to see the dolphins again. I highly recommend it!
仕事仲間10人で参加しました。牧場ツアーとドルフィンクルーズのどちらかを選ぶ時に牧場にすれば良かったかなと少々、後悔しながらの参加でしたが、こちらにして正解でした。
朝早いのは辛かったのですが、酔い止め薬も飲み、船酔いのリストバンド(20ドル、何回でも使えるなら良いかと思ってバスで購入)も良かったのか体調もばっちりで、お天気も良く、早い段階でイルカに遭遇でき、逃げてしまう事もあるそうですが、近寄ってくるぐらい近くまできて、しっかり見ることができました。その後、大きな亀さんとも蹴ってしまいそうなぐらい近くで泳ぐ事もでき、本当に良い体験ができました。
泳ぐ前に無事を祈る歌を歌ってお花をみんなで投げたり、クルーの方の歌やハワイアンダンスも良かったし、船の上で食べたハンバーガーもチップスも美味しくて、チップスは帰りに空港で見つけて、お土産に買って帰りました。
クルーの一人のmaiさんとは、最終日にヨガの待ち合わせをして、公園でヨガも体験する事ができました。
また、ハワイに行ったら、イルカに会いに行きたいと思います。本当にお薦めです。
Had a great time. I always enjoy snorkeling here as there are allways lots of fish and warm clear water.
I arrived about an hour after low tide, but the water depth was around 20 centimeters, and there were no sandy areas visible as shown in the photos. As mentioned in other reviews, it seems that the area where boats can dock is determined by the company, and larger boats were parked in the areas where the sand was visible. Still, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really fun. I almost didn't have enough time!
干潮から1時間後くらいに到着しましたが、水深は20センチくらいで写真のように砂地が見えているところはありませんでした。
他の方の口コミにもありましたが、会社によって船を泊められるエリアが決まっているようで、砂地が見えているエリアには大きな船が泊まっていました。
それでも景色はきれいでしたし、ウミガメも見れて本当に楽しかったです。時間が足りないくらいでした!
What a great night. From start to finish. Would recommend this cruise to everyone
I was able to experience almost all the pool attractions, and it was fun! Since there are almost no clocks, I thought having a waterproof watch would be reassuring. Also, make sure to apply plenty of sunscreen, or you'll end up regretting it later... crying. For lunch, it was a BBQ buffet, but there were fewer options than I expected. The all-you-can-drink was really great! I want to go again next time! ★
プールのアトラクションはほとんど体験することができて、楽しかったです!
時計がほぼないので、防水の時計があると安心かなと思いました。
あとは、日焼け止めはたっぷり塗らないと後から悲惨なことになります・・・泣
お昼御飯はBBQビュッフェとのことでしたが、種類も少なく期待とは少し違った感じでした。
ドリンク飲み放題はとてもよかったです!
また次回も行きたいです★
Aloha Kopopo,
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We will make improvements regarding the meal content. Please do come back if you have the opportunity. We look forward to welcoming you.
Aloha こぽぽ様、
貴重なご意見大変にありがとうございました。食事の内容の件に関しては改善させて頂きます。
是非きかいがございましたらお越し下さい。お待ち申し上げます。
1st time riding a helicopter - a great experience. Everyone was professional and welcoming.
Enjoyed the ride immensely.
It was our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and our first time snorkeling as well. I was surprised at how many people participated compared to other activities, but we took a bus to the boat harbor, where we boarded the boat and were entertained by the high-energy crew from that point on.
While cruising towards the sandbar, we looked for sea turtles and managed to catch a glimpse of them a few times. However, since it was just a fleeting moment, I think those who want to fully enjoy sea turtles should consider participating in a tour that focuses on them, like those on the North Shore.
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we took a lot of photos first, and then put on our snorkeling masks and moved to a deeper area to enjoy snorkeling. It had been a while since I swam, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to focus on and enjoy snorkeling without any worries. There were various types of fish, and even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a great time. If I could wish for anything, it would have been nice to have a bit more time to enjoy snorkeling.
I believe that snorkeling will definitely be an essential activity for our next trip to Hawaii.
ハネムーンでお互い初のハワイで、初のシュノーケリングでした。
他のアクティビティに比べて、想像以上に多くの人達が参加されていたのに最初驚きましたが、ボートハーバーにバスで向かい、そこでボートに乗り、その段階からテンションの高いクルーの方たちに楽しませてもらえました。
サンドバーに向かう間にウミガメを探しながらのクルージングでしたが、何度か一瞬見かけるウミガメを見ることが出来ました。(但し、あくまでも一瞬だったので、ウミガメを十分に堪能されたい方は、このアクティビティではなく、ノースショアの観光のコースなどでウミガメを見ることが出来そうなものに参加されたほうが良いと思います。)
サンドバーに到着したら、そこでまずはひとしきり写真を撮り、その後シュノーケルのマスクなどを付けて、深い場所に移動しシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
随分と水泳も久々でしたが、ライフジャケットのおかげで全く心配なくシュノーケリングに集中して楽しめました。
色々な種類のお魚さんが居て、初めてのシュノーケリングでも十分楽しめました。
欲を言えばもうちょっとシュノーケリングを楽しむ時間があったら良かったなぁと思いました。
次回ハワイに行ったらシュノーケリングはまず欠かせないアクティビティになったと思います。
The sandbar only appears during low tide, and when I went, it was high tide, with the water up to my waist. However, during the sunny moments, both the sea and the scenery were amazing. It rained partway through, and the water got murky, so snorkeling was... But I would love to participate again when it's sunny!
サンドバーは干潮の時間にしか砂浜が現れず、私が行った時には満潮で、水面は腰のあたりまでありました。それでも晴れていた時間帯は海も景色も最高でした。途中に雨が降り、水が濁ったのでシュノーケルは・・。だったのですが、晴れているときにもう一度参加したいです!
It was disappointing that it was cloudy, but the sandbar and snorkeling were just as good as I expected. The meals on the boat had a variety of options and were satisfactory. I also got to see a turtle.
曇りだったのが残念でしたが、サンドバーもシュノーケリングも予想どおり良かったです。
船上での食事も、いろいろ種類があって満足水準でした。カメさんも見れました。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. It seems the weather wasn't perfect, but I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. I also heard you got to see a honu (sea turtle). We look forward to your next visit, and hopefully, it will be sunny!!? Mahalo!
アロハ!先日は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。
天候は今一歩だったようですが楽しんで頂けたようで安心しました。ホヌにもあえたとの事。
次回お越しになる際はきっと晴天!!?楽しみにお待ちしております。マハロ!
The luau experience was fantastic. I would definitely recommend everyone that visits Oahu to go to this luau instead of any of the others. It's a little bit out of the way if your staying in the main city but if you're from the mainland a 1 hour drive is nothing. The luau teaches you about the history of the islands and how it became what itime is today. They have shows and activities for each of the stages that they present. I would advise to go as soon as they open to be able to do all the shows and activities. the buffet was okay, but what can you really expect from a buffet. "Ha!, breath of life" show after the dinner buffet is what made this luau worth the money. It's an unforgettable experience that everyone that visits should go to.
Mahalo Denny, Aloha oe!
Shortly after setting sail, we spotted a whale in the distance! After that, we were able to see multiple whales several times, which left us very satisfied. While they didn't jump, we were thrilled to see them emerge from the water's surface.
出航後まもなく、遠くにクジラの姿が見えました!
その後も何度も、複数のクジラの姿を見ることができて大満足でした。
ジャンプはさすがにしなかったですが、大きく水面に現れる姿も見れたりして
感激しました(^-^)
Thank you very much for participating in our whale watch cruise.
This year, the whale watch cruise will start again on December 23!
We hope you will come back to visit us. We hope to see the whales jumping this time!
All of our staff are looking forward to your return.

My husband and I went on this cruise on one of the last days of our vacation. We did not see any whales or dolphins, but we still had a fantastic time! Since we did not see any whales we received a voucher for a free cruise for both of us. The crew was very knowledgeable and energetic. My only wish was that we would have picked to do this cruise earlier in our vacation so we could have used the voucher for the return cruise to hopefully see some whales.
It was a good sailing and snorkeling activity.
It could be better with some more time snorkeling and maybe in different places with more fish variety.
This dinner cruise was excellent. I recommend doing this for everyone. I would definetly do it again.
It was a great time. It got extremely hot. After we asked the waiter to open one of the windows he opened ours which helped a lot other then everyone came to our window to take pictures because it was the only window ope. Food was amazing tho and the service was awesome. I just think they should keep all the windows open. I would recommend this dinner to everyone
