The food was delicious, and I wanted to eat more. I also enjoyed the flower lei class. I would like to participate again.
食事がおいしく、もっとたくさん食べたかったです。
フラワーレイの教室も楽しめました。
また参加したいです。

予約課
We came to Hawai to celebrate my father's 70th birthday, and one of his must-do lists was the whale watching cruise.
We arrived at the harbor and the stuffs were very friendly and happy to assist us. The check in (as well as the reservation though the Veltra) was smooth and easy.
They offered us free non alcoholic beverages and snacks(fruits, chips and etc) at the bar on the cruise.
Once we left the harbor, the stuffs toughly us about the whales we were about to see. They were super friendly, and we learned a lot about the whales from them from this cruise which was awesome.
It was less than a 2 hr cruise with lots of focusing trying to find whales!! We saw at least 10 whales actions like a humpback breaching and tail-slapping!!
We all enjoyed it!
It was ok at best. There were three crue members in this activity and beverage(Approx. five kinds of Juice) and Snacks(Chips, Cookies, Apples, and Oranges) were provided. All crue members are friendly and helpful. Clean Deck and Interior.
You hope for the whale shooting out of the water with the earth shaking splash....keep hoping. Animals are unpredictable. We did see them blow air up it, but it was very far away and nothing like the pictures! I think it is all about the "right" timing to see something like "the" picture scene. Not worth the money in my opinion. Although all crues are friendly and helpful, obviously there is nothing they can do about the whales.
Our Pearl Harbor Deluxe Motorcoach shuttle tour was one of our favourite experiences on our hawaii holiday. We were welcomed by a friendly and humerous tour guide who made our tour fun and very informative. We started our information session on the Arizona memorial which included a screening of a video clip looking back into the era of the invasion of the japanese into pearl harbor and the demolage that was to take place. We learnt that on that fatal day the Japanese bombed that no one at pearl harbour that day were aware of the Japanese planes nearing and were not prepared for the carnage that was to follow. We then took the ferry over to the Arizona memorial where we got to look upon the sunken Arizona battleship and pay respect to all those who deceased on that ship. We then caught the ferry back and then took a bus over to the U.S.S Missouri ship where a tour guide explained the importance of the ships past etc. where the japanese signed the treaty with the u.s. to end the war and its use in three wars. We were then able to explore the ship by ourselves and see where the soldiers once bunked, ate, and took to everyday duties on the ship. We then bought a few items from the gift shop and met our motorcoach tour guide back at the coach to continue on to see the sights of Punch Bowl cemetary and Honolulu. Our tour guide continued to show us important sights and buildings around honolulu.
We got to see the beauty of the honolulu landscape which include tropical and international plant life and amazing architecture. We were then taken back to our hotel where we were dropped right outside and thanked our amazing tour guide for a great day had.
The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to go snorkeling, plus the lunch was freshly made and delicious! However, the bus ride was extremely cold, and since we left early in the morning, I just wanted to sleep... I couldn't rest on the bus because the guide kept speaking in English, and when I dozed off during the boat ride, I was woken up. The return bus was also unusually cold (even though my body was wet), and I couldn't stand it, so I got off partway. I'm not sure if I would want to participate again...
景色はよくて、シュノーケリングもできたし、昼ごはんもできたてでおいしかったです!
ただ、移動のバスがすんごく寒かったのと、朝早くに出発なのでせめて寝てたいのに。。。バスでも英語でガイドずーっとされて眠れず、ボートで移動している間うとうとしてたら起こされ、帰りのバスも(体が濡れてるのに)異常に寒くて、たえきれなくて途中下車しました。
ちょっとまた参加したいとは思えないかも・・・
We participated as a couple with our one-year-old child. We saw something that looked like a whale, but it was quite far away and just barely visible. According to the staff, there was a big whale breach yesterday, so it seems like you need a bit of luck to see that. If we had seen it, we would have been very satisfied, but since we didn't, I gave it three stars. Overall, it felt like a tour that’s okay to do just once. It was nice that there was one Japanese staff member as well.
1才の子供連れで夫婦で参加しました。鯨らしきものは見えましたが、結構遠くちょっと見えるくらいでした。スタッフが言うには昨日は鯨が大きく跳ねたらしく、それを見るには運が必要なのかなーっていう感じです。それが見れたら大満足だったんですけど、見えなかったので星三つにしました。まぁ一回参加すればいいかなって感じのツアーでした。スタッフの感じは日本人も一人いてよかったです。
Got to see 2 sightings of whales. Was able to get pictures both times.
The staff were all high-energy and friendly! There were so many handsome guys, which made it worth participating just for that. (laughs) On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and it took a while to find the dolphins, but I was moved to be able to swim with them. However, since we had to jump off the boat into the open sea, it was a bit tough for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer.
スタッフの方がハイテンションで元気よく良い人ばかりでした!
イケメンばかりで、それだけでも参加した価値あり。笑
当日は海が荒れていてイルカを探すのに時間がかかったけど、無事イルカと泳げて感動しました。
でも沖に出て船から飛び込むので、泳げなに自分には少しきついツアーでした。
Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Please join us again on your next visit to Hawaii.
ツアーへのご参加ありがとうございます。
楽しんでいただけたようで何よりです。
次回ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはツアーにまたご参加くださいませ。
If I could give this cruise more than five starts I would!! This Whale watching cruise was the highlight of my visit to Oahu! The crew Josh, Julia and Jacob were outstanding! The perfect hosts! We witnessed several whale sightings and the crew was very informative about the whales, answering every and all of the guests questions. The catamaran we sailed on was very well kept and we felt safe on our ride out into the Ocean, we traveled at low speeds making the ride very pleasurable. I recommend this tour above any whale watching tour in Oahu, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again to Josh, Julia and Jacob you all were amazing!!!
Walking in the middle of the ocean was such a wonderfully mysterious experience, and I was very satisfied. I was able to snorkel in the best spot and saw sea turtles, beautiful corals, and lots of fish! I also had a great breakfast on the boat.
Since I participated in January, it was a bit cold. A rash guard is a must!
海の真ん中を歩けるなんて、とても不思議な素敵な体験ができ、大満足です。
シュノーケルもベストな場所でさせてもらい、ウミガメも綺麗なサンゴもたくさんのお魚も見れました!
船の上で朝食もたくさん食べれましたよ〜♡
1月に参加したので、ちょっと寒かったです。ラッシュガードは必須です!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the tour the other day. Those are such beautiful photos! Depending on the season and the day, the sandbar shows various expressions. Please come back to visit us again. We look forward to seeing you!
アロハ!先日はツアーにご参加頂いてありがとうございます。
と〜っても綺麗なお写真ですね〜。
季節によって日によってサンドバーは様々な表情を見せてくれます。
また遊びに来てくださいね。お待ちしてます!
We had a great time, a truly awesome experience! The tour itself is a truly educationaland an emotional place, and the memorial is just absolutely beautiful. It had always been a goal to be able to make it to the Pearl Harbor Memorial, and I was finally able to make it thanks to this tour! We had a splendid tour guide, which made things even better. Patrick, our tour guide was great, informative, and friendly! I will definitely be doing this trip again up my return to Honolulu, Hawaii with my family, and hopefully we have Patrick or another great tour guide like him. I enjoyed all of the lovely sites to see. It was a gorgeous tour, I definitely recommend this trip to all my family and friends, actually in general I recommend this tour to any and everyone. :)
I participated with a light-hearted desire to see hula dancing, but I enjoyed it even more than I had imagined! Since I arrived early, I was able to enjoy the powerful performance from the front row. The buffet was delicious as well. I was happy that the lei greeting used real orchids. I felt that the photos taken for commemorative purposes were a bit expensive, but overall it was a great experience!
フラダンスを見たいという軽い気持ちで参加しましたが想像してた以上に楽しめました!はやめにいったので最前列で大迫力のパフォーマンスを楽しめました。ビュッフェも美味しかったです。レイグリーティングも本物の蘭の花を使っておりうれしかったです。記念撮影した写真は少し高いなと感じましたが総じてよかったです!
I didn't have time to go to Lahaina to see the whales, so I was a bit unsure if I would be able to see them in Waikiki while participating in the Navatek cruise. However, I felt reassured by the onboard lunch and the explanations about the whales, as well as the guidance from our tour guide, who had been an English teacher in Fukui Prefecture. So, did we see any whales? Yes, we saw a lot!
ラハイナまでクジラを(ホエール)見にいく時間が無く、ワイキキで見れるのか
少し疑問にしながらのナバテック号の参加でしたが。船内のランチタイムや鯨の説明
福井県で英語の教師をしていたガイドさんの案内などで安心して参加出来ました。それで
鯨は見れたのか??、沢山見れました。
WE had the perfect night. The luau was everything we dream it would be. The Chief and his staff were wonderful! Totally worth it!!
A must see experience for anyone visiting Oahu!
The Polynesian Cultural Center is an Awesome and Amazing Experience!!
Highly recommend to pay the extra for the Super Ambassador Package, We had reserved front row seats for every show and never had to wait in line, it’s well worth it.
The whole day was Fantastic! And the best part of this awesome experience was the “Breath of Life" Night Show after dinner was amazing!!
I would Love to come back...
Great and beautiful beach to experience on Oahu for snorkeling but the thirty minute walk to get to the good snorkeling part was unexpected, there should have been a shuttle offered.
We had a wonderful time, very entertaining! Would recommend to others.
This time, I went on my first trip to Hawaii. Before reaching the sandbar, I was able to beautifully confirm the presence of the honu (sea turtle) and saw many of them. Thanks to Yuki, one of the cruise staff, who accurately pointed out where the honu were... (laughs) Everyone was a wonderful cruise staff member. I actually had given up on snorkeling because I’m not a good swimmer, but one of the staff encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry! I couldn't do it at first either. You can do it!" That motivated me to give it a try. Because of that, I had a fantastic experience. Thank you. I'm sorry I forgot your name. Also, the captain was cool!!! He was a refreshing handsome guy. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to participate again. Mahalo.
今回、初のハワイ旅行で行きました☆。.:*・゜サンドバーに行くまでにホヌさんも綺麗に確認出来たし、沢山見る事が出来ました(,,•﹏•,,)クルースタッフの、ゆきさんがホヌのいる場所を的確に言ってくれたおかげでもあるんですが。。。(笑)皆さん素敵なクルースタッフでした。私は、実は金づちでシュノーケリングは、諦めてたんですがスタッフさんの1人がおねーさん大丈夫だよー。私も最初出来なかった。出来るよー!って励ましてくれたのでやってみる気になれました。そのおかげで、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。ありがとう。お名前を忘れてごめんなさい。そして、キャプテンもカッコ良かったです!!!さわやかイケメンさんでした(,,•﹏•,,)次回ハワイへ行った時は、参加したいです。マハロ
this was a great surprise for my mum....getting to see the whales out in the ocean was such a surprise. the breakfast buffet was amazing and the scrambled eggs are amazing. we saw dolphins as well...and the cruise was so smooth. this will definitely be a memory that myself as well as my mum and kids will never forget
Had a great tine. They we able to accommodate us last minute. The guides were great and helpful. Saw a lot of turtles and they even took the time to take us to a group of dolphins that swam around and under our catamaran it was a highlight of our vacation
It was exactly as I imagined seeing the whales. I was able to see them spouting water, diving with their backs showing, and their tails. The boat was anchored at the whale watching point, so the kids got a bit bored along the way. Since it was just a little extra to add breakfast when ordering a juice, I thought it might be nice to book the breakfast plan next time.
想像通りのクジラの見え方でした。潮を吹いているところ(潮のみ)、背中から潜って尾ひれが見えるところ、を見られました。クジラのいるポイントで船が泊まっているので、子供は途中で飽きてしまいました。ジュース単品代金にちょっと追加するだけで朝食付きとなったので、次回は朝食付きプランで申し込んでもいいかなと思いました。
Thank you very much for boarding with us. We, the staff, sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you visit Hawaii.
この度はご乗船、誠にありがとうございます。また、ハワイにお越しの際にはご乗船頂けます様、スタッフ一同、心よりお待ち申し上げます。
It was a tour that was kind to children and created lasting memories. It was cold, so we couldn't go into the sea, but we were able to see sea turtles, and the kids enjoyed the atmosphere and the snacks we received. I just wish the weather had been better... but there's nothing we can do about that.
子供にも優しく、思い出になるツアーでした。寒くて海にも入れなかったけどウミガメも見れたし、子供達は雰囲気といただいたスナックを楽しんでいました。
ただ本当にお天気さえよかったらな…と仕方のないことですが。
it was a great day, the boat was really nice, we sat up the front with our legs dangling off the boat. we had two snorkel spots, both great, the water was a little murky but still saw a lot of pretty fish and some turtles. good equipment, nice friendly staff. the lunch was good. I have also been snorkelling at Waikiki but this was far superior. good eqipment, great day, highly recommend.
Thank you for the review! We're glad you had a great time and can appreciate the high quality equipment we provide for your snorkel tour. Hopefully we see you again, until then, we hope you enjoy Hawaii and Aloha! Your friends at Ko Olina Ocean Adventures
They prepared us by saying its early in the season you may not see anything, we did - a group of whales which we followed around. We didn't see a full breach but you can't have it all! Its exciting, you will be some distance from the whales but there's still a thrill when you catch sight of them. Good value. I'm glad we just did the tour and not the buffet - not sure I would bother with that.
We went on Christmas Day and paid extra for better seating. We still had to wait in a really long line to get checked in. Food was good and the show was fun. I would recommend getting there earlier than what they tell you.
It was great that there were few people, so we could ride the slides without waiting. My impression is that it was smaller than I expected.
人が少なくスライダー等も待たずに乗れ良かったです。
期待していたよりは狭いな~というのが印象です。
My friend and I really wanted to see the filming location of Jurassic Park so we signed up for this tour to the least visited island in Hawaii. We were very impressed with the scenery. Everything was also very organized and arranged very professionally (no lateness). What made the tour really stand out though, was our tour guide Juan who told us many stories which gave us a greater understanding into life on the island. We loved the tour a lot. The only drawback was we had to wake up really early but I guess that can't be helped considering we did a day tour from O'ahu.
It was my daughter's debut in Hawaii. It was a trip just for my daughter and me.
As we were traveling with a toddler, I was very worried about how much we could enjoy it and whether the experience would be worth the price. We were picked up at our hotel in a microbus. We went in light clothing, wearing swimsuits and flip-flops, and brought about $20 in cash and coins. We boarded a small boat at the port.
The Japanese staff, the captain, and the female crew members were all very friendly and attentive to us, especially considering I had a child with me. They talked to my daughter a lot, which I really appreciated.
Right after boarding, we were served drinks, cookies, and bread that had a very American taste (laughs). Soon after we set off, we arrived at a spot to see sea turtles. We were able to see two sea turtles swimming, which was thrilling. I enjoyed the sense of unity on the boat while we were searching for the turtles.
It was the rainy season, and there were storm-like winds, so it wasn't exactly a shining sandbar, but by the time we arrived at the spot, the skies cleared a bit, which was a relief. I think it's a good idea to prepare a waterproof camera or a smartphone in a waterproof case if you want to ask the staff to take photos. I opted for a service where they took pictures with a $60 camera, and I was satisfied with the natural, Hawaii-like photos they captured.
The warm drink service on the boat was nice for our chilled bodies from the sea, as well as the light snack service. Since the meal is really just a light snack, I think it's better not to have high expectations. If you don't expect much, you can be satisfied. We had plenty and ended up feeling full.
My daughter couldn't snorkel, so she stayed on the boat, but she had a great time with other families who weren't snorkeling and the crew, and the waiting time passed quickly. During the wait, we enjoyed throwing food to the fish from the boat and watching them gather. My daughter even said "please!" to the crew as she threw food into the sea, which made her happy.
Although the sandbar itself was somewhat disappointing due to the cold and cloudy weather, the rest of the time was very enjoyable, and it seems to have created wonderful memories for my daughter. She says she wants to ride on the turtle boat in Hawaii again.
I definitely want to book this again when we go in the summer!
娘のハワイデビューでした。娘と母の2人旅です。
幼児のため、どのくらい楽しめるのか、内容は価格相応であるかなどとても心配でした。お迎えは滞在先のホテルに、マイクロバスで。水着にビーサン、タオルと20ドル程度の紙幣と小銭といった軽装で行きました。港で小型の船に乗り込みました。
日本人スタッフさんもキャプテンも、クルーの女性も感じがよく、子連れの私に気を配ってくださったり、娘にたくさん話しかけてくださったりと、とてもありがたい気持ちでした。
乗ってすぐのドリンクやクッキー、パンのサービスはとてもアメリカンな味でした(笑)乗船後すぐ、ウミガメのスポットへ。二匹のウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができ、感激しました。ウミガメを探している時の船の一体感が楽しかったです。
当日は雨季、嵐のような風で、輝くようなサンドバーとは言えませんでしたが、スポットへ着く頃には晴れ間も見えホッとしました。スタッフに写真を頼むには、必ず防水のカメラ、もしくは防水ケースに入れたカメラやスマホ出なくてはいけないので準備していくと良いと思います。私は60ドルの一眼で撮影していただけるサービスを申し込みました。自然な感じでハワイらしい写真を撮っていただけて満足しています。
海で冷えた体に船上の温かいドリンクのサービスや、軽食のサービスは嬉しかったです。食事は本当に軽食ですので期待しないほうが良いと思います。期待しなければ満足できます。たくさんいただいたので満腹になりました。
娘はシュノーケルはできないので船上でお留守番をしていたのですが、シュノーケルをしない他のご家族やクルーのみなさんと過ごす時間が楽しく、留守番の時間もあっという間に過ぎて行きました。待ち時間には船上から魚に餌を投げ、魚が集まる様子を楽しみました。娘も「please!」なんてクルーに話しかけて海に餌を投げて喜んでいました。
寒くて曇っていてサンドバー自体の満足度はそこそこなのですが、それ以外の時間が非常に楽しくて、なによりも娘にとって良い思い出となったようです。またハワイでカメのお船にのりたいと言っています。
また夏に行く時には絶対申し込みたいです!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for choosing this tour for your daughter's debut in Hawaii.
I'm really glad to hear that you liked the turtle boat.
Please do come back to visit us again in the summer! We will be waiting for 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です。
お嬢様のハワイデビューにこのツアーを選んで頂いてありがとうございました。
カメのお船を気に入って頂いたようで本当に良かったです。
ぜひ!夏もまた遊びにいらしてくださいね。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!
I was hoping to see the whales swimming, but it seems it was still too early for that season, and all I could see was the tail of a whale swimming in the distance. I understand it's nature, so there's not much I can do about it, but I really wished I could have seen them up close.
くじらの泳ぐ姿を見られるのかな~と思っていましたが、時期的にまだ早かったらしく、遠くで泳いでいたくじらの尻尾だけしか見れませんでした。
生き物相手なので仕方がないかなと思いましたが、もっと近くで見てみたかったな~。
I was prepared to walk on the sand, but due to the tide, the sand was underwater during the time I participated, so I couldn't walk on it. However, the scenery was incredibly beautiful, and I got to see many sea turtles, making it a fun tour.
砂の上を歩くつもりで準備していたのですが、潮の満ち引きの加減で、参加した時間帯は砂は海の中にあり、歩くことはできませんでした。しかし、景色はすごくきれいだったし、たくさんのウミガメにも会えたし、楽しいツアーでした。
