Oahu
Hubby and I came to Hawaii for our 30th anniversary. Perfect way to spend our Friday night. Views were awesome as was the crew. Enjoyed the food as well.
My family and I went to this tour for the very first and we had fun with our experience. We were able to visit one of this historical sites in Hawaii but also our tour guide named Cody was a very jolly person and entertained us while we are on the bus. I would recommend this tour to my other families and friends as well. :)
I had an amazing time!
I really recommend it (ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)੭✧
I want to go again (♡´ ˘ `♡)
Next time, I hope it's sunny (∩´∀`∩)
めちゃめちゃ楽しかった!
ほんとオススメです(ˊo̶̶̷ᴗo̶̶̷`)੭✧
またいきたーい(♡´ ˘ `♡)
次は晴れてるときに(∩´∀`∩)
Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
Thank you for sharing that nice photo with your happy aura shining through!
Please come back and visit us again! I hope the weather will be wonderful on that day.
アロハ!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した。
背中からハッピーオーラがにじみ出てるナイスなお写真アップありがとうございます。
ぜひ!また遊びに来て下さいね。その日はう〜んと良いお天気になりますように。
Such a great day out on the boat with the friendly staff. The cocktails were thoroughly enjoyed and the views were incredible. Amazing!
Thanks Ryan and Dave !!
The weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine, but it was very beautiful. The water was up to my waist, and I was truly moved by the scenery that can only be seen in Hawaii! The staff were all friendly, and the cheeseburger was delicious. It was a bit cold on the way back, but I had a great time. Thank you very much.
曇り時々晴れの天気ですがとても綺麗でした。
海面は腰位までありましたが、やはりハワイでないとみられない景色に感動です!!
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーでチーズバーガーも美味しかった。
帰りはちょっと寒かったけどとても楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。
This is my eighth trip to Hawaii, but this was my first time using this service. I signed up thinking it would be a light sailing experience, but it was even more enjoyable than I imagined. First, we went out to sea with the engine, and after turning it off, we raised the yacht's canopy and sailed using only the wind. It was surprisingly fast and refreshing. The original cocktail made by the staff was also quite delicious. My colleague who joined me was thrilled, and it has become a tour we will definitely repeat. If I go again next year, I would love to participate.
ハワイ旅行は8回目ですが、今回初めて利用させてもらいました。軽いセーリング気分で申し込んだのですが、想像以上に楽しめました。まずエンジン駆動で沖まで出て、エンジンを切ったあとヨットの幌を上げて風のみで航行するのですが、思った以上にスピード感もあり、爽快です。スタッフさんが作ってくれたオリジナルカクテルも中々おいしかったです。一緒に参加した同僚も感激しており、リピート確定ツアーになりました。また来年行くことがあれば、ぜひ参加したいと思います。
We had a great time at the cultural center and love all the upgrades they have done. Our last visit was 6 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the most amazing host ever had just returned 6 months ago, we all remembered her from our first visit. I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong). The show was amazing as well... I definitely recommend the full guided tour for a full day of fun rain or shine.
Mahalo for your feedback, Aloha oe!
I boarded the ship alone while my wife saw me off (laughs). The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was incredibly beautiful and moving. I want to go again soon!
一人で乗船、家内は見送り(笑)海から眺めるワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドは大変美しく感動しました。また直ぐにでも乗りたいです‼
The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.
Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.
After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)
The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。
それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。
濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です!(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)
ボートの上で食べるハンバーガーは美味しかったです!
I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.
But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.
Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.
添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。
そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。
まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit and that you were able to enjoy watching the sea turtles.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar that you mentioned, as indicated on the tour page, please understand that due to the tides, there may be times when the sand beach is not visible. However, we can imagine that you were disappointed not to see the sandbar with the sand exposed above the water as you had hoped.
Additionally, please note that you will need to move through the water from the boat's docking position to the sandbar, so we kindly ask that you wear a swimsuit in advance.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日は天気もよく、ウミガメをご鑑賞いただけたようで嬉しく思います。
ご指摘いただいておりますサンドバーの水位につきましては、ツアーページ上でご案内させていただいております通り、潮の満ち引きの関係上、砂浜が見えない場合もございますことご理解いただけますと幸いです。しかしながら、ご期待のそった水面から砂地がでているサンドバーをご覧いただくことができず、残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
また、船の停泊位置からサンドバーまでは水の中を移動していただきますので、事前に水着の着用をお願いしておりますことご了承ください。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

I signed up because it wasn't too early in the morning.
I was disappointed that I could only see the sea turtles for a moment.
Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was fun.
The hamburger was delicious.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation.
I wanted to know that it's easier to swim using fins rather than treading water in deeper areas, and that you should get back on the boat facing backward.
The water was about thigh-deep, but I was satisfied to have gone to the sandbar.
朝が早すぎないので申込しました。
海ガメが一瞬しか見れなかったのが残念でした。
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルをしたのが初めてだったので、説明は丁寧にしてもらいたかったです。
深い所では立泳ぎより足ヒレを使って泳いでた方が楽とか船に上がる時は後ろ向きからとか説明して欲しかったです。
太股くらいまで水がありましたが、サンドバーに行けて満足でした。
Waikiki Beach, hotel pickup departure, next stop Hanauma Bay "The view of the bay from above is amazing!" Then to Moanalua Gardens "It was a breathtaking experience in nature, famous for the tree from the song 'What Tree is This?'" We visited Waimanalo Shopping Center and Dole Plantation "The pineapple soft serve was delicious." We went in the order of Haleiwa and arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM "It was a fantastic bus drive around half of Oahu Island, enjoying the stunning views for about three hours, the best way to learn about Oahu!"
After arriving, we had lunch, and there were various cultural experiences available in the park, all fresh and enjoyable. Canoe show "We watched many Hawaiian dances." Dinner "Steak, fruits, and dessert were delicious." The night show, “‘Ha’ Breath of Life,” which boasts the largest scale in Hawaii, featured over 100 staff performing passionately for nearly two hours. It showcased the growth of a life born on the island into a fine young man who would govern the island and protect its people, presented through songs and dances! The fire dance show in the second half was a powerful light show that you absolutely cannot see anywhere else. It was the best!
Spending time in the park until 9:30 PM, I felt like I truly experienced Hawaii and became one with the locals! It was a fulfilling tour. Thank you to all the cast members; I was moved to tears and deeply grateful.
Since I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide during the bus drive, even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy the show smoothly and with even more intensity. Thank you to our wonderful guide; I will come back again!
ワイキキビ-チ、ホテルお迎え出発、次がハナウマ湾「上空から見る湾の景色最高!」、モアナルアガ-デン「この木なんの木♪でおなじみの大自然を満喫圧巻でした」ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ド-ルプランテ-ション「パイナップルソフトが美味しかったです」ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターに到着「約3時間からの絶景を見ながらのオハフ島約半周,ワイキキの反対側までバスドライブでしたオアフ島を知るには最高です!」
到着後は、ランチ、園内では様々な民族の体験ができどれもが新鮮で楽しむことができました。カヌーショー「沢山のハワイの踊りを観覧」 デイナー「ステーキ,果物,デザート,美味しかったです」ハワイ最大規模を誇る“‘ハァ’ブレス・オブ・ライフ”ナイトショー「100人以上のスタッフが2時間近くに渡り熱演、島で生れた一つの命が格闘の渦中立派な青年へと成長、軈て島を治め島民を守って行く姿を舞台で、歌や踊りで披露!特に後半のファイヤーダンスショーは他では絶対に見られない迫力のライトショー」最高でした!。
夜9時半まで園内で過ごした自分は、これこそ誇れるハワイなり!と島民に成りきった思いでの大満喫出来たツアーでした♡キャストの皆さん有難う、涙と感激有難う御座いました♡。
夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でバスドライブ中ストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずともスムーズに一層迫力を受け楽しむことができました。素敵なガイドさん有難う、又お邪魔しまーす♡。
Thank you, goodbye!
Mahalo, Aloha oe!
The explanation was very clear, and I was able to participate enjoyably. It's essential to have wet gear when the weather isn't good, so I was glad that it was provided. I was also moved by the sea turtles, pufferfish, and rays.
とてもわかりやすい説明で楽しく参加できました。天気が良くないときはウェット必須ですね、準備されていたのでよかったです。ウミガメやフグ、エイなど感動もありました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed encountering various marine life in Paradise Ocean. Please come back and visit us again! We look forward to seeing you!
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した。
天国の海で様々な生物との出会いを楽しんで頂けたようで良かったです。また是非遊びに来て下さいね。お待ちしてます!
The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable. However, the weather was not great; it was overcast, and the sea water was cold, which was completely different from the blue sky I had imagined, so I was very disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.
ピックアップは時間通り、バスの運転も問題なく、ガイドさんはとても面白く、好感が持て良かった。
ただ、お天気が今一で、ドンヨリしていて、海の水は冷たくて、想像していた青い空晴れ渡る空のもととは全然違うものだったので、とても残念だった。時期にもよるのかなぁ?と思いますが、その辺も書いて頂けると参考に出来ると思いました。
Two people in their 60s, two in their 30s, an 18-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 2-year-old participated. The crew and the hamburgers on board were very delicious, which was great, but they mentioned that the sandbar area is close to the mountains and there aren't many sunny days. It was very cold. When getting off the boat to the sandbar, you have to go into the water up to about your waist. My 18-year-old eldest son and my husband had fun participating in the sandbar activities, but they did not join the snorkeling. About half of the participants did not join. Those who did were shivering. If you bring plenty of warm clothing and think about staying warm, you can enjoy it. I thought it would be the same as the sandbars in Okinawa, so I only prepared for heatstroke. It was the complete opposite.
60代2人30代2人18歳7歳2歳で参加。乗務員さんや、船上のハンバーガーはとっても美味しくて良かったですが、サンドバー付近は、山間の近くにあって、なかなか晴れる日がないとの事。とっても寒いです。船からサンドバーに降りるときは、へそ下ぐらいまで海に入らないとだめです。18歳の長男と旦那は楽しく、サンドバーバレーに参加してましたが、シュノーケリングは,不参加。半分ぐらいの方不参加でした。入った人は、がくがく震えてました。着替えなどたくさん持って防寒を考えていくと入れます。私は、沖縄のサンドバーと同じだと思っていたので、熱中症対策ばかりで。真逆でした。
This is my second time participating.
The contrast between the sky, the sea, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
I was able to see many sea turtles as well.
2回目の参加です。
とにかく、空と海と周囲の景色とのコントラストが綺麗です。
ウミガメとも沢山会えました。
of all my snorkelling experiences in Hawaii over the past 5 years,
I would say this was the best to date. Turtles are surrounding you
And actually come up from underneath you so you have to kick
Away so as not to invade their space. Crew was very informative and friendly.
Chose the 9 am option so as to have lunch buffet after a morning of snorkelling.
Ben our driver was great. Thoroughly enjoyed his narration as we traveled. Very informative. Long day but very very worth it!!
Had a great time! Really fun people and a really funny and exciting show. Had a great time and delicious food and so many exciting activities and souvenirs. Everyone there is pleasant and it's worth the deals they have online!!
I have been to a number of Luau's on Oahu and this one is by far the best, mostly due to the brilliant 'Chief' who will keep you laughing throughout the evening. The food is excellent, the Hawaiian dancing is magical, the fire dance is spectacular, the whole evening is just total enjoyment from beginning to end. A show not to be missed.
We had a bit of anxiety as adults, but we were able to enjoy ourselves without any issues! With the day pass and shuttle plan, I was worried about lunch, but for just under $10, there were hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza. We ordered the hamburger combo, and it was delicious! I'm glad we didn't choose a plan that included lunch. We'll definitely come back when we visit Hawaii again!
大人二人にちょっと不安がありましたが全く問題なく遊べました☆
1日パスと送迎のプランでお昼が心配でしたが10$弱でハンバーガーやホットドッグ、ピザがあり私達はハンバーガーのコンボを注文。美味しい~♪昼食が付くプランにしなくて良かったと思いました(^^)
ハワイに来たらまた来ます♪
This was the most organized event I have ever been to. The staff was amazing and didn't miss a step. Honestly, with as many people they take care of and coming from all over the world, the staff was exceptional. Even the language barrier wasn't a problem. The food was excellent and the presentation was over the top. I would recommend this to anyone and will probably do this again.
We went on our honeymoon, and it became a very enjoyable memory. The captain kept the atmosphere lively throughout the shuttle bus ride, and we had a great time playing volleyball in the shallow waters and enjoying handmade hamburgers from the crew.
Snorkeling at the coral reef allowed us to swim closely with sea turtles and interact with colorful fish.
However, the weather was bad that day, and the strong winds made it quite cold, which was disappointing as we couldn't see many sea turtles.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back!
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
送迎バスよりキャプテンが終始盛り上げてくれ、浅瀬でのバレーボールやクルーの方の手作りハンバーガーなど、楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。
珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは、ウミガメと間近で泳げたり、色とりどりの魚達と触れ合うことができました。
ただ、当日の天気が悪く風も強かったため、ウミガメがあまり見れず、何よりも寒かったのが残念でした…。
またハワイに行く機会があったら、是非もう一度行きたいです!
I was a bit worried because there were reviews saying the meeting place was hard to find, but it was right there as soon as I went down the east corridor of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort towards the beach. Once we reached the point in the ocean, we put on life jackets and snorkels and went underwater. We saw many black fish, and occasionally some white and colorful fish, and I was even able to see a sea turtle come up for air. Although there were no fins, I had a great time.
After everyone caught their breath, we went sailing. The weather was nice, the wind felt good, and the view was great. Snacks and drinks were provided. My wife had a bit of a tough time with seasickness, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.
集合場所がわかりにくいという口コミがあったので少し不安でしたが、Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resortの東側の通路を海に向かっていってビーチに出たところにすぐありました。沖に出てポイントに着いたらライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて海中へ。たくさんの黒い魚と、ときどき白やカラフルな魚が見え、また一度ウミガメが息継ぎに上がってきたのを見ることができました。フィンはありませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
みんなが一息ついたらセーリング。天気もよく風も気持ちよく、眺めもよかったです。スナックやドリンクが出ました。妻は船酔いで少し大変でしたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むなどの対策をした方がよいかもしれません。
I was excited to see the morning whales and set out. It was drizzling a bit, but I boarded the ship. First, we had a morning brunch (buffet), which felt a little lacking. When we arrived along the coast of Diamond Head, I got my camera ready and waited. However, unfortunately, the boat returned. They said they would give us a free ticket to try again during the period, but I can't stay in Hawaii that long. I'll try again next year!
朝鯨がみれるとワクワクでかけました
小雨ぱらついていましたがいざ乗船
最初にモーニングランチ(バイキング)少し物足りない感じ
ダイアモンドヘッド沿岸に到着いざカメラを構え待機
でもあられず(; ;)ホロホロ船は戻りました
期間中の再挑戦無料チケットをくばりますといわれましたが
そんなにハワイにいれない
来年再度挑戦(*^o^*)
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise.
We are very sorry that you were unable to observe any whales this time.
We look forward to seeing you again next season!
Regarding your comments about the meal, I will translate them into English and forward them to the manager in charge to help improve future cruises.
Thank you for your valuable feedback.

It's a very enjoyable plan if you're with someone. However, I've heard that the sand mountain only appears 2-3 days a year. But the freshly grilled hamburgers were delicious, and it became a great memory.
連れと一緒ならとても楽しいプランです。
ただ、ほんとに砂山が出現は年に2-3日とのこと。
でもハンバーガー焼きたてでおいしいし良い思い出になりました。
In Hawaii, you might wonder about the pool, but there are attractions like slides that you can't find in Japan, and they were so much fun! I tried them about twice each, haha! I think it's great for those who love attractions!
Also, I took a 30-minute nap on a lounge chair in front of the wave pool, which felt wonderful and made me feel like I was relaxing on the beach. I believe everyone—friends, couples, and families—can enjoy it!
Additionally, the atmosphere and the color of the pool felt different from Japan, giving me a sense of being in a resort, which was very pleasant! Even though it was Golden Week, it wasn't crowded like in Japan, and the wait time was only about five minutes, so everything went smoothly.
Above all, the lifeguards were kind and greeted us with lovely smiles, making it a very comfortable experience. The warmth and smiles of the people in Hawaii are truly wonderful!
The only downside was that some attractions were not operational. I heard there are similar pools in other countries, so if I get the chance, I would definitely like to visit them!
ハワイで、プール?と思うかも知れませんが、日本にはないアトラクションのようなスライダーがあり、とても楽しかったです!だいたい、2回ずつほどチャレンジしました笑!アトラクションが好きな方にはすごくよいと思います!
また、波のプールの前にあるシートで30分ほど、お昼寝をしたのも大変気持ちよく、ビーチでゆっくりしている気分でした。
友達、カップル、家族みんな楽しめると思います!
また、雰囲気やプールの色でしょうか、日本とは違い、リゾートに来たかのような感じでとても気持ちが良かったです!
また、ゴールデンウィークでしたが、日本のように混み合っているわけではなく、並ぶ時間も5分程度と長い待ち時間がないので、スムーズで良かったです。
なにより、監視のお兄さんお姉さんも優しくとても素敵な笑顔であいさつしてくれたりととても心地よく、楽しむことができました!やっぱりハワイの方はあったかくて、笑顔が素敵ですね!
残念だったのは、いくつか動いていないアトラクションがいくつかありました。
他の国にも同じ系列?のプールがあるようでしたので、機会があれば、ぜひ行ってみたいです!
Aloha Nayumi,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will include it in our internal report.
Currently, on days with no congestion, we are rotating attractions and only have English signs, so we will place Japanese signs as well.
We look forward to your next visit.
アロハ Nayumi様、
貴重なご意見ありがとうございました。社内の報告看板にださせて頂きます。
只今、混雑がない日はアトラクションをローテイションさせて頂き英語のサインしかございませんので、日本語のサインをおかせて頂きます。
又のお越しをお待ち申し上げます。
Me & my mom had a blast on this dinner cruise. The staff, entertainment & food was superior. We would recommend this delightful activity to anyone coming to Waikiki. We would definitely do this again ourselves! This was a highlight & great memory of our Hawaiian vacation!
thank u so much. captain & staff. so nice & fun.
everything was good except bad weather (windy rain).
For little kids would only do it once in a lifetime. Luau was really good though
Mahalo for your feedback, Aloha oe!
