Oahu
Both the half-day tour and the Polynesian Cultural Center were enjoyable and packed with activities (^_^)v. The night show was wonderful, and the final fire performance was amazing. The guide was great, and I had a full day of fun. Considering the differences in dinner options, the seating for the show, and the backstage tour, I think it was worth it to go deluxe.
半日観光とポリネシア文化センターどちらも楽しく盛りだくさん(^_^)v
ナイトショーも素敵でした。最後のファイヤーパフォーマンスは凄かったです。
ガイドの方も良かったですし、一日たっぷり楽しめました。
夕食内容の違いとショーの席の場所、バックヤード見学を含めるとデラックスにしてよかったと思いました。
There were two boats, and the Japanese people gathered on one and boarded it. This made me feel quite secure participating in the tour. It was raining and the weather was bad, so the inside of the boat got a bit wet from the sideways rain and strong winds, making it very cold. It's better to bring an extra jacket or towel! There are no changing rooms, so you'll need to change in the restroom, so it's best to wear just your swimsuit that you can easily take off on the way there. ★ Even though the weather was bad, the sandbar looked beautiful. We were able to see several sea turtles! For lunch, the female captain cheerfully grilled hamburgers and served them fresh in sandwiches. ★ They were very delicious. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish!
On the way back, we couldn't all fit on one bus and had to wait quite a while for the next one, which made me worry about being late for the next tour I had booked. I wish they had better arrangements for the return transportation. By the way, you ride the bus back in your swimsuit, so the air conditioning makes it cold. Let's bring an extra towel!
船が2隻あり、日本人は1隻に集められ乗りました。なので、結構安心してツアーに参加することができました。雨が降っていて天気が悪かったので船の中は横雨と強風で多少濡れてとても寒かったです。羽織やタオルを余計に持って行ったほうがいいですよ!!更衣室がないので、トイレで着替える感じなので、行きは直ぐ脱ぐだけの水着着用で行ったほうがベストです★天気は悪いでしたが、サンドバーも綺麗にみえました。ウミガメも何匹も見ることができました!お昼のランチのハンバーガーも女性のキャプテン(船長さん)が陽気に楽しそうにハンバーグを焼いていて、焼きたてをサンドしてくれます★とてもおいしかったです。シュノーケルも魚が沢山いてとても楽しかったです!!
帰りのバス1台に乗りきれず、次が来る迄、結構待たされ次の予約していたツアーに間に合わないかもということがあったので、帰りの送迎までしっかりしてほしかったです。ちなみに帰りのバスは水着のまま乗るので、クーラーがきいてて寒いです。タオルを余計に持って行きましょう!!
As soon as I walked on to the Spirit of Aloha boat, I knew it was going to be a good time. It wasn't too full, and it allowed for more room and comfort on the ride. Captain Dustin gave us a run down of the tour, and gave us free reign of the boat (less the Captain's chair of course). Masa helped us with our gear and Brad swam out to the snorkel spot with us. Yes, Brad knows where the turtles are. We saw tons of turtles, all with big personalities that were bigger than there shells. We twice got to see a turtle swim up to the surface! I never expected to see such humongous turtles. I named one of them Soldier because he was missing one flipper and the shell was pretty damaged, but he swam quite happily. I saw a pair of turtles even hold fins like buddies. It was too cute. The water was perfect and it was a beautiful day. We got back on the boat and Brad helped us with lunch. I highly recommend this snorkel cruise!
Very wonderful experience. Took full advantage of the different villages. Timeline makes it so you don't have to wait long between performances. Employees gladly and excitably answer questions. Wonderful event for families.
I was moved when a sea turtle came by while I was snorkeling and I was able to swim close to it. The time I participated was such that I could barely keep my head above water, which was quite different from the sandbars I often see in photos, so I was a bit disappointed. I think it's better to check the timing before participating.
As for lunch, to be honest, it might not be very filling, so you may feel a bit unsatisfied. Overall, I don't have any major complaints, but I feel that the price is a bit high for this level of satisfaction.
シュノーケリング中にウミガメがやってきて近くで一緒に泳ぐことができ、感動しました(^^)
私が参加した時間は海で首がぎりぎり出せるくらいで、よく写真で見るサンドバーとはだいぶ違っていて残念でした。時間を調べてから参加された方がよろしいかと思います。
昼食ですが、正直あまりボリュームがないので物足りないかもしれません。全体的に、これといって不満はありませんが、この満足度でこの値段はちょっと高いような気もします。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
It was truly lucky to swim with the sea turtles, which are said to bring happiness.
The sandbar shows various expressions depending on the day and time.
We hope you will visit again next time you come to Hawaii and experience a different side of the sandbar. We look forward to welcoming you, Ohana! Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
幸せを運んでくれると言われるウミガメと一緒に泳げて本当にラッキーでしたね。
サンドバーはその日その時間によって様々な表情を見せてくれます。
ぜひ次回ハワイにお越しの際はまた違った表情のサンドバーに出会いいらしてくださいね。おはな様のお越しを楽しみにお待ちしてます。Mahalo!
It was a fantastic experience! We loved every minute of it! Snorkeling with turtles was amazing! Would definitely recommend! Great tour and fun activity
Tour operator was of a high standard and very professional.The various areas of the Pearl Harbour area were well organised. Especially the USS Missouri tour and artifacts. The Pearl Harbour audio self tour was well organised too, however insufficient time was allowed to seriously view all stations of the tour. The Arizona Memorial pre film of the events was very real and looked at from all sides. The actual memorial was moving and somber. again a little more time would have been benifical. The tour concluded with a drive through the Punchbowl Cemetry. The only disappointing part of the day was the poor and very limited options for food and drinks. As the tour was a full day it would have been more enjoyable if a larger range of foodstuff was available. Finally the tour could have been more enjoyable with an extra hour at the Pearl Harbour and Aviation Muesum. Well done to our tour operators driver. A memorable day.
Great show we really enjoyed every minute of it. We would love to see it again the next time we vacation.
I have participated in the Sandbar tour several times, but Captain Bruce's tour is definitely the best. The malasadas were delicious too. A sea turtle even came close to us, which was a delightful surprise. Honu is the best! I will definitely repeat this next time.
サンドバーのツアーには、何度か参加しましたが
キャプテン・ブルースのツアーが、やっぱり一番です。
マラサダも美味しかったです。
ウミガメも向こうから近づいてきて、嬉しいサプライズもありました
ホヌ最高! 次も、絶対リピします。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
"Captain Bruce's tour is definitely the best," says Takuzou, and with that message, our staff is all fired up for the busy summer ahead!
Please come back when you visit Hawaii! We’ll be waiting 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。
”キャプテン・ブルースのツアーが、やっぱり一番” たくぞう様のそのメッセージで忙しい夏に向けてスタッフ一同気合いはいりまくりです!
ハワイにお越しの際はリピしてくださいね〜!! 海がめとともにおまちしてま〜す!!Mahalo!
Driver polite, punctual. Memorial moving experience. Unfortunate stops are no longer allowed at Punchbowl Cemetery.
Amidst the busy weather of sunny, cloudy, and rainy spells throughout the morning, I participated in the morning plan.
We were picked up by a shared bus in front of each hotel. Our hotel received an early pickup, and I almost ended up being late because I was relaxing in the room, thinking it was just Hawaiian time (sweat).
We switched to a boat at the harbor. On that day, there were two boats, the Blue Boat and the Green Boat. The guide on the Blue Boat was a Japanese woman named Izumi. The captain and all the staff were women, creating a vibrant atmosphere. All the customers were Japanese, mostly couples and families, and everyone was calm and composed, which was nice (I’m not good with noisy environments…).
With a welcome drink and mini croissants or donuts, we felt relaxed both mentally and physically.
During the turtle watching, the current was too strong, and we couldn’t see any turtles. What a shame...
We quickly shifted our mood and moved to the sandbar. The sandbar was about knee-deep due to the tides, but it was truly amazing to be standing in the ocean while being out at sea. The scenery was wonderful and felt great. The water was surprisingly cold, but that’s just nature, so there’s nothing to be done about it.
If you ask the staff, they will take plenty of photos for you. However, be careful as cameras without waterproof features cannot be taken off the boat. It seems you can pay $45 for individual DVD shooting, so if it’s a honeymoon trip, I think it would be a good idea to request that.
Then came our main goal: snorkeling! While there weren’t colorful fish like in Okinawa, friendly turtles came and swam with us one after another. When I spotted a turtle napping among the reef, I felt like diving down even though I was wearing a snorkel. Sometimes, they almost bumped into me, and I thought, “Whoa!” (since touching them incurs a fine), it was truly a dreamy moment. I wished I could stay in the water forever.
After that, we got back on the boat for a light snack time. There were croissant sandwiches, salads, fruits, chocolates, cookies, and various drinks. The croissant sandwich was incredibly delicious. They said, “You can have as many as you want!” When it started to rain and I was cold and shivering, a hot coffee was the best thing ever.
When we returned to the hotel, it was still around 2 PM, so we could either go shopping or relax in Waikiki. Since we had a short stay, it was the right choice to use the morning plan effectively.
If I get the chance, I would definitely participate again. I want to see the shallow waters up to my ankles and the clear blue sea!
朝から晴れたり曇ったり雨降ったりの忙しい天気の中、午前プランに参加しました。
乗合バスで各ホテル前からピックアップ。我々のホテルには約束の時間より早めのお迎えでした。どうせハワイ時間だろうと部屋でのんびりしててうっかり遅れるところでした(汗)。
ハーバーで船に乗り換え。この日はブルー船とグリーン船の二隻でした。こちらのブルー船のガイドは日本人のイズミさん。キャプテンもスタッフも全員女性で華やかでした。お客さんは全員日本人でカップルやファミリーが多く、みなさん大人しく落ち着いてて良い感じ。(騒がしいのが苦手なので…。)
ウエルカムドリンクとミニクロワッサンorドーナッツで、気持ちも体もリラックス~。
カメさんウォッチングでは、潮の流れが速すぎてカメさんに会えませんでした。
残念。。。
気持ちを切り替え早々にサンドバーへ移動。サンドバーは潮の関係でひざ下位まであったけど、沖にいるのに海の中に立ててるなんて本当に不思議。景色も素晴らしく気持ちい~い。思いのほか水が冷たかったけど、それは自然のものですもの。しょうがないですね。
写真もスタッフに頼むとジャンジャン写してくださいます。ただ、防水機能のないカメラは船から持って出れないのでそこんとこ注意ですね。45ドル払うと個別にDVD用の撮影もして下さるようなので、新婚旅行とかだったらお願いした方が良いと思います。
それから、私達の一番の目的だったシュノーケリング!沖縄の海のようなカラフルなお魚達はいなかったけど、人懐っこいカメさん達が入れ替わり立ち代わり一緒に泳いでくれましたよ。リーフにまぎれて昼寝してるカメさんとか見つけると、シュノーケルつけてるのに潜ってしまいたくなったり。時にはあちらからぶつかりそうになって「おっと!」って感じになったりして(触ると罰金だもんね)、それはそれは夢のようなひとときでした。ずーっと水の中にいたかったなぁ。
その後は船に上がって軽食タイム。クロワッサンサンドやサラダ、フルーツやチョコやクッキー、ドリンクもいろいろありました。クロワッサンサンド、めっちゃおいしかったー。「おかわり自由よ!」とのことでした。雨が降ってきて濡れた体で寒くて凍えそうな中、ホットコーヒーが最高にうれしかったです。
ホテルに帰りついてもまだ14時くらいだったので、その後ショッピングに行くもよし、ワイキキでのんびりするもよし。滞在日数が少ない私達、一日が有効に使えるので午前プランで正解でした。
機会があったらぜひリベンジ参加します。足首までの浅さ&快晴の海を見てみたい~!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day and for uploading such a detailed participation report.
While nature is something that humans cannot control, I’m really glad to hear that you were able to enjoy the tour despite that.
I’m looking forward to your revenge participation, Namo! Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
先日はツアーにご参加頂き、また詳細な参加リポートをアップして頂き本当にありがとうございます。
自然だけは人間にはコントロールできませんが、その中でもしっかりとツアーを楽しんで頂けたようで本当に良かったです。
namo様のリベンジ参加今から楽しみにお待ちしてます!!Mahalo!
The sandy beach was very beautiful.
The content was, well, I guess it was like this?
The staff were all nice people. 😊
サンドビーチはとってもきれいでした。
内容も、まあこんな感じなのかな?という感じです。
スタッフはみんな良い人たちでした^^
We had a wonderful fun time. We would love to do it again. I was not overly impressed with the food at the Polynesian Cultural Center though.
I was very satisfied.
The sandbar was disappointing as it was only knee-deep and didn't reach the land.
I was able to see many sea turtles and forgot to make a wish while watching them.
The snorkeling was beautiful with tropical fish gathering around.
I also enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch.
However, the sunburn afterward was quite severe...
For those who are going, make sure to take thorough sun protection measures.
I would definitely like to participate again if I have the opportunity next time.
大満足です。
サンドバーは、膝下ぐらいで陸にはなっておらず残念でした。
海亀はたくさん見ることができました、願い事を忘れてみていました。
シュノーケリングは、熱帯魚等が集まって綺麗でした。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしくいただきました。
ただ、その後の日焼けが凄く大変でしたが・・・
これから行かれる方は、日焼け止め対策は万全にしましょう。
次回も機会があればぜひ参加したいと思います。
I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, but I had been hesitant due to concerns about the taste and portion sizes, especially with many Westerners dining there. However, it turned out to be just right. Since it was the recommended course from VELTRA, it was perfect for seniors. The service was in Japanese, and they also recommended some delicious wines.
以前から気になっていたレストランでしたが、欧米の人が多く味と量が心配で敬遠してましたが,丁度よかったです。VELTRAのおすすめコースでしたのでシニアにはぴったりでした。日本語でサービスで、ワインもおいしいものを勧めてくれました。
I participated in mid-December 2013. Since Heaven's Beach was fully booked, I chose this one, and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere was great, the hamburgers were delicious, and I had a wonderful time. The staff were all bright and friendly, and the captain was delightful.
I checked the low tide times and made a reservation, but due to the timing, the sandbar was shallow and the water was up to my ankles, so I couldn't see the beach. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done about it.
I encountered many turtles from the boat, and after getting excited, I went snorkeling. There were fewer fish than I expected, but I still got to see turtles while snorkeling.
I definitely recommend participating and enjoying it to the fullest!
2013年12月中旬に参加しました。
天国の海が満席だったため、こちらにしましたが、とても雰囲気は良いし、ハンバーガーは美味しいし、参加して良かったと思います。スタッフはみな明るくフレンドリーで、キャプテンも愉快。楽しい時間を過ごせました。
干潮の時刻を調べて予約しましたが、時期が悪かったため、サンドバーは浅くてもくるぶしまで水があり、砂浜を見ることはできませんでした。仕方がないですが、それが残念。
船上からたくさんのカメに出会え、テンションのあがったところで、シュノーケル。期待していたよりはお魚は少なかったですが、シュノーケルでもカメと出会えました。
是非参加して、存分に楽しんでください。
You can enjoy it all day long, from children to adults, without getting bored. There are height measurement stations in various places to check if you can ride the attractions. I will visit again.
子供から大人まで一日いても飽きないほど楽しめます。
アトラクションに乗れるかどうかは身長計が各所にありますよ。
またリピします。
It was a really wonderful place. The snorkeling spot was also very beautiful. The staff were all kind, and the Japanese-speaking guide was easy to talk to, which made me feel very comfortable. The guitar-playing uncle also made it lively and fun. I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance. It became a very good memory. Thank you very much.
凄く素敵な場所でした。そしてシュノーケルの場所もとれもきれいでした。スタッフの方々も皆親切で、日本語ガイドのお姉さんも、気軽に話せる人でとても安心出来ました。ギターのおじさんも盛り上げてくれて楽しかったです。また、次も行けたら是非参加したいです。とても良い思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。
I couldn't see the sand, but the ocean was really beautiful. The captain was funny and entertaining! Since we wore life jackets while snorkeling, we could enjoy even the deeper areas with peace of mind. My husband, who isn't very good at swimming, also enjoyed peeking into the water the whole time. The weather was great, and the scenery was perfect. It got a bit chilly at the end, so it was a good idea to bring a hoodie.
砂は見えませんでしたが、海がとってもキレイでした。キャプテンがひょうきんで面白いです!シュノーケルはライフジャケットを着用するので、少し深いところも安心して楽しめます。泳ぎがそこまで得意ではない主人も、ずっと海の中を覗いて楽しんでました。お天気がよくて、景色もバッチリでした。最後少し寒かったので、パーカーを持っていて正解でした。
Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour.
In this tour, we start with a thorough practice on how to wear the snorkeling mask, especially for beginners. For safety, everyone will also be required to wear a life jacket.
Even if it's your first time or if you're a little unsure about swimming, I believe you can enjoy the beautiful heavenly ocean just like the husbands of our honeymooners.
We hope you'll come back to explore the beautiful underwater world of Hawaii. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。ツアーにご参加ありがとうございました。
このツアーのシュノーケリングは初心者の方の為にマスクの付け方からし〜っかり練習をしてスタートします。
また安全のため皆様にライフジャケットも着用して頂きます。
初めての方もちょっぴり泳ぎに自信がない方もハネムナー様のご主人様のように安心して美しい天国の海を楽しんで頂けると思います。
またぜひハワイの美しい海の世界を覗きにいらしてくださいね。Mahalo!
I was able to see five sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, and I felt lucky to see a rare one, even though they were a bit far away. After enjoying beach volleyball and taking photos at the sandbar, as soon as we returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling, a sea turtle approached us. Did it come closer on its own? It got so close that I could touch it, but the crew informed us that we shouldn't touch the sea turtles as they are protected. I was thrilled by the close encounter.
During snorkeling, we swam back and forth along the boundary of the coral reef and the ocean floor for about 30 minutes, and I was able to see many beautiful fish. I was also excited to see a sea turtle resting among the coral. After finishing snorkeling and getting closer to the boat, three more sea turtles came within touching distance, so I hurriedly dove in and was able to see them right in front of me. The sea turtles didn't seem afraid of people; it felt like they were coming to see us.
One person on the same boat got bitten on the foot by a sea turtle. It was a small wound, but the crew quickly took care of it, which was great. Before we got off at the sandbar, we were warned that if a sea turtle approached, we should not wave our fingers, as it might mistake them for food and bite. At that time, I thought it was just a funny joke from the humorous crew, but it turned out to be a real situation. The crew was very funny, and I hope to join the same crew's tour again. Thank you for a wonderful time!
ウミガメウオッチングでは5匹見ることが出来ましたが離れているため、珍しいウミガメ見ることが出来たラッキー。まあこんなもんかなと思いました。サンドバーでのビーチバレーや写真撮影で楽しんだ後、シュノーケリングの準備のためボートに戻ったとたんウミガメの接近、ウミガメの方から近づいてきた?。数センチの距離でタッチ出来るので触ろうとしましたがクルーからウミガメは保護されているため触っちゃだめとのこと。あまりにも近距離での遭遇に感激。シュノーケリングでは珊瑚礁と海底の境界に沿って往復30分程度でしたがきれいな魚をたくさん見ることが出来、珊瑚礁の中でウミガメがやすんでいるところも見ることが出来て感激でした。シュノーケリングが終わりボートまで近づいたらたらまたウミガメがタッチ出来る距離まで3匹近づいて来たので慌てて潜り目の前で見ることが出来ました。ウミガメは人を怖がらない、ウミガメが人を見に来た?・・・そんな感じ。同じボートに乗った人がウミガメに足をかまれました。小さな傷でしたがクルーがすぐ手当てしてくれよかったです。サンドバーに降りる前、ウミガメが近づいて来たら、指を出して振るとウミガメがえさと勘違してかまれるとの注意がありましたがそのときはひょうきんなクルーの話で冗談と思いましたがまさかの事態。クルーの方もとてもユーモラスでまた同じクルーのツアーに参加できたらと思います。楽しい時をありがとうございました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you for joining the tour.
It seems like you got to see a lot of sea turtles! The turtles really seem to know about this tour and show up almost every day (laughs).
They come quite close, but please remember that it's against conservation laws to touch them. Enjoy from a distance!
If you come back to Hawaii, please feel free to visit us again. We, along with the sea turtles, are looking forward to your return, Yoshi. Mahalo.
アロハ!キャプテンブルースてんごくの海ツアーです。ツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございました。
ウミガメにたくさん会えたようですね〜!! ウミガメ達はほんとこのツアーの事を知っているのかほぼ毎日出勤してきてくれます(笑)
カメたちがぐ〜んて近づいて来たりしますが、自然保護法で触ってはいけません。距離を取りつつ楽しんで下さいね。
またハワイにお越しの際は是非遊びにいらしてください。Yoshi様のお越しをウミガメとともにお待ちしてま〜す。マハロ。
I felt like I blended into the wonderful scenery. The snorkeling, which I didn't have high expectations for, was really great. I chose the morning-only option, but I wanted to do more snorkeling even past lunchtime.
すばらしい景色に自分が溶け込みました。あまり期待していなっかったシュノーケリングがとてもよかったです。午前だけのオプションにしたけど、お昼をまたいでもっとシュノーケリングがしたかったです。
I used this tour for my honeymoon. I chose this plan for the morning, thinking we would relax in the afternoon. There were several staff members, and two of them understood Japanese, so even though my English is poor, we were able to enjoy the tour until the end without worry. One of the two was a Japanese woman.
I knew it was natural, but I only saw the sea turtles' heads coming up for air far away a few times. They were too far to capture in photos... I regret not being able to see them up close. From other reviews, it seems some people were able to see them at a distance where they could almost touch them, while others saw nothing at all, so it really depends on luck when it comes to the turtles. I’ll just think of myself as lucky for having seen them at all. The little heads that popped up from the surface were cute, though!
Breakfast consisted of sandwiches and taco chips. It felt more like a light snack than a full breakfast. The timing for eating was just after snorkeling, right before we were about to leave, so it was a perfect moment when we were a bit hungry.
One thing to note is that the stay at the sandbar was only 40 minutes, which is quite short. This time includes the sandbar stay, photo taking, snorkeling preparation, snorkeling explanation, and snorkeling itself, so everything felt rushed. We only snorkeled for a few minutes before heading back. I think this tour is great for those who are okay with just a brief experience at the sandbar and snorkeling, especially if they have plans in the afternoon. However, those who want to enjoy snorkeling more might find it insufficient.
On the way back, you will return in your swimsuit! There is no time or facility to change. You’ll get on the bus before your swimsuit dries. You can sit on the bus while still wet, but the air conditioning is on, and it takes about 40 minutes to get to the hotel, so I was freezing and almost got a stomachache. I immediately took a warm shower when I got back to the hotel. I recommend being prepared to change quickly and taking measures against the cold, even without bath towels or changing rooms.
ハネムーンで利用しました。
午前中のプランで、午後はゆっくりしようと思いこのツアーを選択しました。
スタッフは数名いて、内2人は日本語が理解できる方でしたので、英語がさっぱりな私たちでも安心してツアーを最後まで楽しむことができました。
2りのうち1人は日本人女性の方でした。
自然のものなのでわかっていましたが、うみがめは遥か遠くの方で息継ぎをしに頭が海面から出てるのが数回見れただけでした。
遠すぎて写真に収めることができず・・・近くで見れなかったのが心残りです。
他の方のクチコミを見ると本当に触れるか触れないかの距離で見れた方もいらっしゃる一方、全然見れなかったという方もいらっしゃるみたいなので、うみがめについては完全に運ですね。
私も見れただけでも幸運だと思うようにします^^
ちょこっと海面から出た頭は可愛かったですよ 笑
朝食はサンドイッチとタコスチップス?でした。朝食というよりは軽食という感じです。
食べるタイミングはシュノーケルの後、帰る間際でしたので、ちょっと小腹が空いたなという丁度よいタイミングだったと思います。
注意することとしては、サンドバー滞在時間が40分と少ないこと。
サンドバー滞在+写真撮影+シュノーケル準備+シュノーケル説明+シュノーケル 全部含めての40分なので、全てが大急ぎでした。
シュノーケルも数分したらすぐに引き返す感じでした。
サンドバーもシュノーケルもさわり程度でいい方+午後から予定がある方には、もってこいのツアーだと思います。
ただ、シュノーケルを沢山楽しみたい方は物足りないと思います。
帰りは水着のまま帰ることになります!
着替える時間や施設はありません。水着が乾く前にバスに乗ることになります。
バスは濡れたままでも座ってOKですが、バスの中はクーラーも効いてますし、ホテルまで40分ほどありますので、寒くて寒くて私はお腹壊す直前でした。
ホテルに帰って即行シャワーで暖をとりました。
バスタオルや更衣室がなくてもサッ着替えれる準備、冷え対策などしていくことをおすすめします。
It's a really big attraction! It seems there are many celebrities around, and the pool is on a scale that's unimaginable in Japan. Families should be careful not to get lost!
とにかく大きいアトラクションです^^
芸能人も多く見えているらしく、日本ではありえないくらいの規模のプールです。
家族連れなどは迷子にならないように~
On December 30, 2013, I participated with my family of six. Whether or not we encounter whales is purely a matter of luck, so there's nothing we can do about that. What we saw were the distant spouts and the tail of a whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't have an experience that we could truly say was "seeing a whale." The weather was nice, so I comforted myself by thinking of it as a cruise. Since it was early in the morning, we opted for a breakfast plan, but given the price, I didn't have high expectations, and it turned out as expected. There was quite a bit of time before we reached the whale watching point, so it might be nice to have a light snack and drink some coffee while passing the time. There weren't too many people, so we didn't have issues seeing the whales, but it would have been great if we had encountered them. What a shame.
2013/12/30に家族6名で参加しました。くじらに巡り合えるかどうか、こればかりは運ですので仕方ありませんが、見えたのは遠~くのくじらの潮吹きとくじらの尾びれでした。
残念ながら”くじらを見た”と言える体験はできませんでした。お天気はよかったので、クルーズをしたと思って自分をなぐさめました。朝早かったので、朝食つきプランにしましたが、まあこの値段ですし期待はしていませんでしたが予想どおり。くじらのポイントまではけっこう時間があったので、軽く食べてコーヒーでも飲みながら時間をつぶすにはいいのではないでしょうか。人が多すぎてクジラがみえないとかそういうことはなかったので、くじらにさえ出会えていればよかったですね。残念。
Thank you for choosing our cruise. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you aboard again.
この度は私どものクルーズをご利用頂き、ありがとうございます。またのご乗船を心よりお待ち申し上げます。
Husband and daughter loved this trip. It was the highlight of our vacation. This is our 2nd catamaran trip from this harbor but first time with this company. Staff was top notch: knowledgeable about dolphin conservation, friendly, professional. Exceptional all around. My daughter snorkeled with a staff member and he swam to the bottom to get her a shell, cleaned it properly and gave it to her. Husband loved the bar. Only gripe: a lower price should be charged for all under 21 yrs old since they don't get alcohol like the adults do but pay the same price.
Was looked after from the moment we walked on board bus with great commentary. Got to see and feel the great islands. When visiting Oahu would recommend highly as a must see.
I checked the tide chart online in advance and participated in the afternoon course. I thought I would see some sand, but even in the shallowest areas, the water was up to my knees.
Since it’s an area with not-so-great weather, it was quite cold. I was really happy for the warm tea service.
The staff were attentive, the lunch was delicious, and I was moved by how close I could swim with the turtles and rays!
Even for someone like me who can't swim, they lent me a life vest, so I was completely fine. My 5-year-old son was also able to join because the staff took care of him while he was on the boat.
The snorkeling and DVD purchase are optional, but I definitely think it's worth doing!
The DVD shoot made me feel like a model, as they took lots of photos in various poses, and I felt it was worth more than the price.
If you bring an underwater camera, the staff will take pictures during snorkeling as well.
We brought reef shoes just in case, but it felt better to go barefoot, so we ended up not using them.
I was worried about seasickness, but that wasn't a problem at all.
It was such a fun course that I want to participate again on my next trip to Hawaii.
The only concern is the weather and how to deal with the cold!
事前に干潮グラフをネットで調べて、午後のコースに参加しました。
砂が見えるかと思ったけど、1番浅い所でも膝くらいまで水がありました。
天気があまり良くない地域ということもあり、かなり寒かったです。
暖かいお茶のサービスが嬉しかったです。
スタッフの方達はサービスが行き届いていて ランチも美味しかったし、何よりカメやエイがあんなに近くで一緒に泳げると思わず、感動しました!
シュノーケルは、泳げない私でもベストを貸してくれるので全く大丈夫でしたし、5歳の息子もボートに乗せてくれてスタッフの方がみていてくれたので、一緒に参加することができました。
シュノーケルとDVD購入は、希望者だけですが、絶対やった方がいいと思います!
DVD撮影は、まるでモデルになったかのように色々なポーズでたくさん写真を撮ってくれて、値段以上の価値があると思いました。
水中カメラは、事前に用意して行くと シュノーケルの時にもスタッフさんが撮ってくれたりします。
リーフシューズも私達は一応用意をして行きましたが、裸足の方が気持ち良く 結局使いませんでした。
心配した船酔いも、問題ありませんでした。
とっても楽しいコースだったので、次のハワイ旅行でもまた参加したいです。
問題は、天気と寒さ対策かなぁ!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour.
I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour to the fullest. Thank you for sharing those wonderful photos as well.
I see you also had a DVD made. Thank you! Yes, the DVD is one of the recommendations for this tour.
Some people might feel shy about taking photos at first, but with the beautiful and vast nature and the skill of the photographer, you can capture amazing smiles in stunning photos.
Yuka, I wonder if watching the DVD makes you want to return to Hawaii again? Please come visit us again! Mahalo!
アロハ〜!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
ツアーを思い切り楽しんで頂けたようで本当に良かったです。また素敵なお写真のアップありがとうございました。
DVDも作成して頂いたんですね。ありがとうございます。そうなんです!DVDもこのツアーのお勧めの一つです。
写真撮影なんて。。。って最初は恥ずかしがられる方もあの美しく広大な大自然とカメラマンの腕でのびのびととびきりの笑顔の素敵なお写真が撮影できますよ。
ゆか様DVDをご覧になってまたハワイに戻って来たくなっていらっしゃるかな〜? また遊びにいらしてくださいね!マハロ!
I participated in this tour with a friend for the second time in Kaneohe.
The weather was great, and the tide at the sandbar was perfect, just above the ankles! The staff were cheerful, and there was one person from Japan, which made me feel at ease.
If I visit Hawaii again, I would definitely want to use this tour company again.
カネオヘは初めての友人と2回目の私の2人で参加させていただきました。
天気も良く、潮位もサンドバーではくるぶし上と絶好のコンディションでした!
スタッフの方も明るく、日本の方も1人いてくださって安心して参加できました。
次回ハワイが訪れることがあればまた利用したいと思えるツアー会社さんでした。
Highly recommend! I've been to Hawaii multiple times and this was my first time on this dinner cruise. The views of Waikiki from the boat are a must. The show was great and so was the food.
I participated alone, but the crew was all very kind, and I had a great time. The beauty of the ocean was, of course, stunning, and it was an incredible experience to see a turtle swimming right in front of me while snorkeling. I definitely want to participate again.
ひとりで参加しましたが、クルーがみんな優しくてとても楽しめました。海の綺麗さはもちろん、シュノーケリングで目の前から亀が泳いできたことはとてつもない素晴らしい体験で感動しました。また是非参加したいです。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you for joining the tour.
We occasionally receive inquiries like, "Can I participate alone?" Yes, it's perfectly fine!
I believe you will enjoy the tour just like Kelly did.
The photos of the honu are really nice! Please come back to visit us again. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。ツアーへのご参加ありがとうございました。
”一人での参加なんですか参加できますか?”ってお問い合わせを時々頂きます。大丈夫ですよ〜!!
