Oahu
It was truly amazing! ♡
The weather, the waves… everything was perfect!
I even encountered a large group of dolphins…
and got to swim with sea turtles…
And above all, the crew I went with was just fantastic!
It was only half a day, but it was a tour packed with the essence of Hawaii!
With ukulele and hula dancing…
Ah, it was just so much fun!!! Aloha~
本当に最高でした♡!
この日は天気も波も…全てが最高!
イルカの大群にも出逢えたし…
ウミガメとも泳げたし…
そして何より一緒に行けたクルーが
最高すぎました!
時間にすると1日の半分なんですけど
ハワイが凝縮されたツアーでした!
ウクレレにフラダンスに…
あ〜もお楽しすぎました!!!アロハ〜
It was a fabulous your. Larry was very informational and funny. He was very prompt and you can tell he loves his job.
Pearl Harbor is truly amazing. we must admit as Aussies, my family knew only the basics about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, After our day at Pearl Harbor we learnt and appreciated so much more.
Our tour from the moment of pick up to return was exceptional. Larry our coach driver was a wonderful guide. He was very informative on our tour of the city. Our adult & teenage kids were very impressed to see the High School that Bruno Mars went to. The drive through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific was both moving and respectful. Driving past Hawaii State Capitol and understanding the architecture as well as Iolani Palace and Kawaiaha'o Church and stopping at the Supreme Court were a highlight. Upon arrival at Pearl Harbor, Larry explained everything clearly and we completely understood all requirements.
Visiting the Arizona Memorial was a truly moving experience, both an honour and privilege. Upon return, we headed to the bus to take us to Ford Island to step aboard the Mighty Mo (Missouri). Exploring the USS Missouri was great. While there were free guided tours available, we chose to explore on our own and had so much fun, while still learning all about this amazing vessel. To stand at the very location where the Instrument of Surrender to end World War II took place was remarkable and a moment to reflect.
We didn't get to see all of Pearl Harbor, but what we did see was amazing and we will be back on the Full Tour to see the rest and pay our respects again.
It was very educational and entertaining. We especially enjoyed the Sumoa, New Zealand, and Tahitian cultures. The water parade of cultures was also excellent. It was exztremely hot the day we went. The only disappointing thing was the Island Buffet. The selections were limited. We expected more of a Hawaiian menu. It was mash potatoes, pork, beef, a very tasteless fish. There were no vegetables excepct for the salad bar which was limited in itself. The only fruit was pineapple and papaya. The ice cream machine ran out and it took them so long to get it operating that people just gave up.
Hi,
I had such an amazing time on their cruise!! First of all, the staff were all amazing. They were funny, welcoming, and most importantly, love their job! They really went out of their way to ensure that we had a fantastic time! And, the food was amazing! Maybe it's about eating on the boat after swimming, but regardless, it was really good!
This cruise also gives us ample time to really explore the area... it goes to sandbar, a place where green turtles gather, and finally an hour of snorkeling by the reef. They were all amazing experiences, and I would say that it is a MUST for anyone traveling to Hawaii!
Thank you, Captain Bob and his crew!

I think the sandbar is affected by the weather, but this time the weather was pretty good. We were able to see sea turtles and took a lot of photos. The provided meal was delicious, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The guide was entertaining, and everyone was able to spend time with smiles on their faces.
サンドバーは天気に左右されると思いますが、今回はまあまあな天気で良かったです。ウミガメも見ることができましたし、写真もたくさん撮れました。用意された食事も美味しかったし、とても素敵な体験になりました。ガイドの方がおもしろくてみんな笑顔でずっと過ごせました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the tour the other day. I am most happy that you were able to spend the time with a smile. May many lucky experiences come your way, just like the lucky sea turtles and all the smiles!
アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。
ずっと笑顔で過ごせて頂けた事が何よりも嬉しいです。幸運のウミガメとたくさんの笑顔でたくさんのLuckyがやました様に訪れますように!
Since it was lunchtime, I thought the depth would be about knee-high, and although there was only a small amount of sand, it was definitely there! I think it's best to check the timing, and also, since it can get murky, I believe not splashing around will help you take nicer photos!
お昼だったので、深さは膝くらいなのかなとおもったら、砂もほんの一部だったですがしっかり出てました!
ベストなタイミングを調べて、さらに、濁ってしまうので、バチャバチャしないほうがキレイに写真が撮れると思います!
I have been to Hawaii over 30 times, but I always travel individually. This time, since my daughter came along, I participated in a tour for the first time. It was great that there was a Japanese guide, so my daughter could enjoy herself comfortably.
ハワイには30回以上来ていますが、いつも個人旅行。今回は娘も一緒ということで初めてツアーに参加。日本語ガイドもいて娘も安心して楽しめよかったです。
I was very anxious because I can't swim. I couldn't enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before because I can't swim. However, snorkeling in water that was deep enough that I couldn't touch the bottom allowed me to float and see beautiful fish, making it a life-changing experience. It's okay even if you can't swim. I think you can have a wonderful experience. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.
私は、泳げないのでとても不安でした。前日ハナウマ湾でのシュノーケルも泳げないため楽しむことができませんでした。でも、足のつかないほどの深さでのシュノーケルは、うくことができ、綺麗な魚も見ることが出来人生観が変わるほどの体験をすることが出来ました。泳げない人でも大丈夫。素晴らしい経験が出来ると思います。機会があれば、また是非参加したいです。
We had a wonderful time snorkeling. The crew was super friendly and the boat ride was awesome. We had plenty of time to snorkel around and enjoy and ocean. Enjoyed a lot!!
"It wasn't the oldest company that boasts 'we dock at the shallowest spot!' but it was more than enough!
That said, if you go on an afternoon trip without checking the tide times, you might be a bit dissatisfied, so I think it's better to check the best dates and times within your schedule before making a reservation.
The buses for the round trip are a mix of nationalities, but there are two boats, one with English and the other with Japanese. The man guiding us on the bus spoke only in English, but he spoke very slowly and clearly, so even I, who can't hold a conversation, understood about half of it! On the boat, a Japanese guide provided all the explanations, which was reassuring.
Personally, what I regretted was that after coming up from snorkeling, they rinse you off with fresh water, but even though I was trying to keep my hair dry, the moment I stepped up the stairs, I got drenched from head to toe. It felt nice though..."
「一番浅いところに着岸します!」がウリの老舗さんでは
ありませんでしたが、十分でした!
とはいえ、満潮・干潮調べずに午後便とかで行ってしまったら
ちょっと不満だったでしょうから、
ちゃんと日程の中でベストな日時をチェックして申込みをされたほうが良いと思います。
行き帰りのバスは多国籍混載ですが、
船は2つで、片方が英語・片方が日本語と分かれていました。
バスでの案内をしてくれるおじさんはすべて英語ですが、
すごーくゆっくり、わかりやすい英語を話してくれるので、
会話のできない私でも半分くらいはわかりました!
船では日本人ガイドさんがすべての説明をしてくれるので安心です。
個人的に「しまったー」だったのが、
シュノーケルからあがった後、真水をかけてくれるんですが
髪の毛ぬらさないようにしてたのに
階段からあがった瞬間頭から「ざばー」でした。
気持ちよかったですけどね・・・
It didn't matter at all!!
Before going, I wondered if Captain Bruce would be good... but in the end, the boat docked right next to us, and the destination was nature!
As the name "Sand Bar" suggests, the land stretches wide and flat, so there's no way you can't land.
(There may be times when there’s no land due to high tide, but I think that applies to any tour.)
Anyway, I'm so glad I went on this tour!
The sea was simply beautiful!!
We were blessed with great weather and saw a wonderful gradient!
It felt like I could walk forever.
And no matter how far I went, I wasn't stopped or called back; it was an incredibly free tour, and I was very satisfied!
The crew was also wonderful,
with a perfect Japanese-speaking lady who taught us about the mainland U.S. and a handsome captain with excellent photo services!
After asking the captain for tips on how to meet sea turtles and going snorkeling, I was able to swim alone with a large elder turtle covered in moss!!
I occasionally see turtles while diving, but I've never seen one that big before!! It was so moving!!
Thank you, Captain!
I would love to participate again if I have the chance! ✨
関係ありませんでした!!
私自身、行く前はキャプテンブルースが良いのかな…と思ったりもしましたが、
結局船はすぐ隣に付きましたし、目的地は自然!
サンド「バー」というだけあって、棒状に横に広ーく陸地が続いているので、
上陸できない…なんてこともないです。
(満潮で陸地がないことはありますが、それはどこのツアーでも同条件になると思います)
とにかく、このツアーで行ってよかった!
ひたすらに、美しい海!!
天気にも恵まれ素晴らしいグラデーションを見られました!
どこまででも歩いていけそうです。
そして、どこまで行っても止められたり呼び戻されたりもしない、
すごーく自由なツアーで私は大満足でした!
クルーもとっても素敵で、
アメリカ本土のことも教えてくださる日本語カンペキなお姉さんと、
写真サービスが素晴らしいイケメンキャプテン!
キャプテンにウミガメに会えるコツを聞いてからシュノーケリングに臨んだら、
甲羅が苔だらけの大きな長老カメと二人っきりで泳ぐことができました!!
ダイビングなどでもカメには時折会いますが、
後にも先にもあんなに大きいカメは初めて見ました!!感動!!
キャプテン、ありがとう!
また機会があれば参加したいです!✨
This is my fourth time at Heaven's Ocean, and it was the best weather I've experienced so far, which made it a lot of fun!
I participated with four family members and four colleagues, and we were able to see several sea turtles. During snorkeling, the turtles came very close to us, and the weather was great with the clearest water I've seen in years. Even my colleagues who were there for the first time said it was amazing.
The lunch burgers were delicious, and I definitely want to participate again next year!
天国の海は4回目ですが今迄で最高の天気で楽しかったです(^^)
家族4人と同僚4人で参加しましたが海亀は何匹も見れたりシュノーケルではすぐ真下近くまで海亀が近づいて来たり、天気も良く海の透明度もここ数年では最高だったので、初めての同僚も最高と言っていました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しく是非来年も参加したいです(^^)
We participated with a group of eight, consisting of four family members and four colleagues. Since our group doesn't eat much, we opted for the free drink course, and it turned out to be a great choice; we had a lot of fun.
Even though it was Sunday, we hardly had to wait and were able to ride all the slides.
The thrill rides were impressive, just like you'd expect from an international venue, and we really enjoyed them (^^).
My colleagues also said it was amazing, so we definitely hope to come back next year (^^)n.
家族4人と同僚4人の8人で参加しました。
ご飯はそんなに食べないメンバーなのでフリードリンクのコースにしましたが、感想は大当たりで楽しかったです。
日曜でしたが、待ち時間もほとんど無く全てのスライダーに乗れました。
絶叫系もさすが海外っていう感じで規模も大きく楽しかったです(^^)
同僚も最高って言っていたので是非来年もお願いします(^^)n
It's a very large and impressive ship! After departing, we enjoyed exploring the interior and lounging on the rooftop summer beds. Once things settled down, we were able to see two whales!! It was a bit disappointing that they were a little far away (we couldn't get too close due to regulations), but from then on, we cruised while watching the whales spouting water. Gradually, the initial excitement faded, and it felt less special. Looking back, I realize how luxurious it was.
Additionally, you can enjoy views of Diamond Head and other sights from the sea, making it a simple yet enjoyable cruise. When we boarded, there was smoke billowing from a volcano behind Diamond Head, and fighter jets were flying low and loud, which felt a bit like a Disneyland attraction (laughs).
The whales were too far away for good photos.
Also, the interior of the ship clearly had separate floors for Japanese and foreign guests (possibly due to the language of the announcements), but we were directed to the foreign guest floor. Everything was announced in English, but the foreign guest floor was less crowded and had a nice international travel vibe, which I really enjoyed!
とっても大きく立派な船です!
出港からしばらく、館内を散策したり屋上のサマーベッドに寝そべったりして楽しみましたが、
ひととおり落ち着いた頃、2頭のクジラに会えました!!
ちょっと遠目(規定であまり近寄れないとのこと)だったのが残念でしたが、
以降はずーっとクジラの吹く潮を見ながらのクルージングになりました。
だんだん当初のキャーキャー感もなくなり、もはや珍しくもない雰囲気。
今思えば、とっても贅沢だったなーと感じています。
また、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど洋上から眺められるので、
単純にクルージングとしても楽しめます。
私たちが乗船した際は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの奥の火山?から煙がもくもく出ており、
戦闘機が低く爆音でたくさん飛んでいたので、
なんだかディズニーランドのアトラクションのようなでした(笑)
クジラはとにかく遠目なのでよい写真は撮れません。
また、船内は日本人と外国人で明確にフロアが分かれている(アナウンス言語の問題かもしれません)のですが、
私たちは外国人フロアの案内でした。
本当に全て英語アナウンスですが、
外国人フロアの方が空いていましたし海外旅行感があって、
私はとっても楽しめました!
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the whale spouts and the views from the boat. On some days, there are active whales that show dynamic jumps, so we hope you will consider coming back to Hawaii to see the whales again. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you.

この度はご乗船誠にありがとうございます。
クジラの潮吹きや船上からの景色などお楽しみ頂けましたこと、嬉しく思います。日によってはアクティブなクジラがいて、ダイナミックなジャンプなど見せてくれることもありますので、またハワイにお越しの際はクジラを見にいらしてはいかがでしょうか。
スタッフ一同お待ちいたしております。

Taking the shuttle was the only way to go. They had all the gear we needed
However the long line to get in ate up a lot of our time. then the mandatory movie was really way to long and a lot of unnecessary info in it.
We had a great time it was the highlight of my trip.
We took the Pearl Harbour tour yesterday and pick up was on time from a point close by to our hotel. The coach was clean and comfortable and our driver Larry was nice providing us with information about hawaii culture and history. The stop at Pearl Harbor was for a suffiecient amount of time and our entrance tickets and boat shuttle to the USS Memorial was included in the package. I wish we had covered more of the old town tour (part of the package)as we just drove past Hawaii state Capitol, china town, punchbowl cemetery and only stopped at the lolani palace and king's statute for pics. Our pick up was at 6:35am and we reached the Pearl Harbor at 8:40am (we did the city tour earlier as we had time in hand) and we were dropped back to hotel at around 12:30pm (the drop off would be later had we done the battleship tour at Pearl Harbor). I would recommend this tour to travelers.
The two women in their forties were very satisfied with the delicious champagne they enjoyed in the green room (^-^). While savoring pinchos, they had a blissful time when, surprisingly, Presley came to visit, and they took a commemorative photo, making their luxurious time fly by!(^^)!
Next, they were guided backstage. The explanations were in English, but they spoke slowly, making it easy to understand. They explained the stage equipment and props, and they even took a commemorative photo wearing part of the costumes used in the hula—what a great experience!
The meal included lobster, steak, and salmon, and the portions were ample (^u^). They didn't have high expectations for the taste, but everything was delicious☆ They finished the wine they had reserved in advance, and the women in their forties were soon overcome by sleepiness, but the show started right away (*^_^*). Sitting in the center of the front row, they were mesmerized by the performances of Presley, Gaga, and Michael. The hula and fire dance were also wonderful, and they were captivated. After the show, there was a photo opportunity with the stars and cast, and of course, they lined up for a snapshot★
It was a fun time in Hawaii! Several colleagues are traveling to Hawaii this summer, so I recommended this tour to them.
グリーンルームで頂いたシャンパンのおいしさにアラフォー女子二人は大満足(^-^)ピンチョスを頂きながら至福の時を過ごしていると、な・ん・と・プレスリーが訪問してくれ記念写真を撮り贅沢な時間はあっという間に終了!(^^)!
次は舞台裏を案内していただきました。説明は英語ですがゆっくり言ってくれるのでわかりやすかったです。舞台装置の説明や道具を説明してくれ、フラで使用する衣装の一部をつけて記念写真を撮ったり、いい体験でした!
食事はロブスター、ステーキ、サーモンなどボリュームは十分(^u^)味は期待していなかったけど、すべておいしかったです☆事前に予約したワインも飲み干し出来上がったアラフォーは睡魔に襲われましたがすぐにショーが始まりました(*^_^*)最前列の真ん中でプレスリー、ガガ、マイケルのパフォーマンスにうっとり。フラやファイヤーダンスも素敵で見入ってました。ショーが終わるとスターやキャストとの写真撮影があり勿論列にならんでパチリ★
ハワイでの楽しい時間となりました!今年の夏休みはハワイ旅行をする同僚が数人いるのでこのツアーをおすすめしました。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased that you enjoyed the experience in the Green Room! We sincerely look forward to your visit again when you come to Hawaii.
Aloha,
Reservations Team.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。グリーン・ルームの体験をお楽しみ頂いて、大変嬉しく思います!
また、ハワイにお越しの際には、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。

It was good. Beautiful. The light meal buffet is all-you-can-eat. I wish I had known more about the snorkeling participants before joining, and I wanted to know what activities were available.
良かったです。綺麗。軽食ビュッフェは食べ放題。もっと、シュノーケリングの対象者を、参加前に知っていたかったし、できる事も知っていたかった。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad you enjoyed the beautiful sea. We arrange the snorkeling experience with life jackets so that even beginners can have fun. Depending on the day's sea conditions and your swimming level, we offer various ways to enjoy the experience. Please come back and visit us again! Mahalo.
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頂いてありがとうございます。
美しい海を楽しんで頂けて良かったです。シュノーケルはライフジャケットを着用して頂き、初心者の方でも楽しんで頂けるようにアレンジしてます。その日の海のコンディションやお客様の泳ぎのレベルで色々な楽しみ方をご用意してます。ぜひまた遊びにいらして下さいね!マハロ。
Overall tour was great. Early pickup was good because the city tour was comfortable with a couple picture stops. We arrived at memorial early enough to walk around a bit before the Arizona tour. Arizona was already sold out at 9:00, so glad we got tickets online in advance. Ferry runs every 15 minutes, so it's a quick walk through, but we missed the first ferry back, and caught the next. Had more time to tour the Missouri, and was able to walk throughout after the very informative guided portion. There are places here to grab a burger or hot dog if you like, and a snack store back at the Pearl Harbor memorial. After the Missouri, we had more time to tour the memorial before our pickup time. I would definitely recommend this tour.
I finally got to visit the sandbar that I had wanted to go to for a long time. The Japanese guide was very friendly and fun, and we were able to take family photos in various poses at the sandbar, which became a wonderful memory! It was also great for my second grader to practice snorkeling in the shallow waters around the sandbar. We even got to see a large sea turtle, making it the best day ever!
ずっと行きたかったサンドバーに、ついに行くことが、できました。日本人ガイドの方も、とても気さくで楽しくて、サンドバーでは、色々なポーズの家族写真を撮って頂けて、とても良い記念になりました!
2年生の子供にとっては、サンドバー辺りの浅瀬でシュノーケルの練習ができたのも、よかったです。大きな海亀にも会え、最高の1日が過ごせました!
I was very satisfied with the beautiful sea.
I was able to see dolphins, but I couldn't swim with them.
I also encountered sea turtles and was happy to see them swimming.
It ended in the blink of an eye!
とても綺麗な海で大満足。
イルカを見ることは出来ました。
一緒には泳げませんでした。
海亀にも出会えて、泳ぐ姿を見ることが出来て
幸せでした。
あっという間に終わりました!
We had a fantastic time...beautiful scenery and great guides (Jake and McCuddy (spelling?)). Swam with the fish and a bunch of turtles and got great pics. Too bad my husband and I got sick after the snorkeling adventure. It had nothing to do with them, I guess we're just not cut out for boating, but they guides were great and took it all in stride. We did our best to still enjoy the ride back. Thanks for a great morning!
I was satisfied with everything: the scenery, the crew's service, the hamburgers, and the safety measures during snorkeling. I was also happy to see several turtles coming up for air. My first time in Hawaii has become a wonderful memory.
景色・船員のサービス・ハンバーガ・シュノーケルの際の安全対策等、全てに満足でした。息継ぎをしに来たカメを何匹も見れたことも嬉しい。初めてのハワイ 良い思い出となりました。
The show was amazing would definitely go again. My 8 year old wanted to go back again the next night! Great family experience!
The children (a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, and a 3-year-old) were able to enjoy themselves thoroughly. The snorkeling guide was very kind, and it seems the kids had a great time as well.
子供(小学生4年と2年、3歳)で十分楽しむことができました。シュノーケルもガイドの方が親切に接してくれて、子供たちも楽しめたようです。
Super Ambassador was the way to go! Loved everything about it, even the little rain shower
In July, I participated in a turtle watching cruise tour that included lunch. In the morning, we relaxed at a sandbar, had lunch, watched the turtles, and then went snorkeling. There were people who spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy a fun time without worry.
However, there was no place to change, so I felt like I had to get on the bus while still wet. It might be a good idea to bring extra towels and be careful not to catch a cold on the bus.
7月にウミガメウォッチングクルーズランチ付のツアーに参加しました。
午前中は、サンドバーでのんびりし、ランチを挟んでウミガメを見て、その後シュノーケリングをしました。日本語を話せる人もいたし、安心して楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、着替える場所がないため、帰りのバスは濡れたまま乗る感じでした。
多めにタオルをもって、バスの中で風邪をひかないよう気を付けたほうがいいかもしれません。
- It's close to the stage, but since it's just one table away, it's not that different.
- You can receive a lei made of fresh flowers.
- You can go get your food early during the meal.
So, honestly, a regular seat is perfectly fine. The food is the same. The show was absolutely wonderful.
I received a message that the meeting time is at 5 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM and the show starts around 6 or 7 PM, so I think it would be better to arrive a bit later to avoid the line at the entrance.
ーステージに近い、でもテーブル1個分なのでそんなに違わない
ー生の花のレイがもらえる
ー食事のとき早めに取りに行ける
なので、正直普通の席で問題ありません。食事も同じ。
ショーはとっても素晴らしかったです。
集合時間17時と連絡ありますが、開場が17時でショーは18時、19時くらいから始まるので
ちょっとずらしてきたほうが入口の行列に並ばなくてすむとおもいます。
We participated as a couple. We were impressed by the service spirit of the three crew members. Their conversations included exquisite wit, and their hospitality was on par with that of the Japanese. With about 20 customers, I believe everyone was satisfied.
夫婦で参加。3人いたクルーのサービス精神に感動。絶妙なウイットを盛り込んだ会話、おもてなしの心も日本人顔負け。20人ほどのお客様、誰もが満足したと思う。
