Oahu
In early August, I participated with three family members and three friends, totaling six people. The pickup was smooth, and we arrived at the local port in just under an hour. It seemed to be a popular tour, with participants being a mix of Japanese and international guests. There were two boats available, one for Japanese speakers and one for international guests; we chose the international option. After about 15 minutes of departure, we arrived at "Heaven."
Since it was right after a high tide, the sandy beach wasn't visible, but the view was absolutely stunning—something you wouldn't see in Japan, and our excitement was at its peak. My 12-year-old child was snorkeling for the first time, and with a life vest on, they comfortably explored the beautiful underwater scenery. The boat was clean, and we enjoyed lunch in a tropical atmosphere, which was the perfect time to relax.
After lunch, we moved to a turtle watching point for photos, and the return trip was smooth and without any issues. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time!
On the boat, there was a nice breeze, making it comfortable, but be careful as you might get sunburned without realizing it, so make sure to take sun protection. Also, bringing a 500ml plastic bottle filled with tap water is a great idea to rinse off some seawater and feel refreshed!
8月上旬、家族3名と友人ファミリー3名の6名で参加、ピックアップも問題なく1時間弱で現地港に到着。
人気のツアーらしく参加者は、日本+多国籍の半々構成でした。船は2隻で日本語船と多国籍船お好きな方に乗船(多国籍選択)、出港して15分で「天国」到着^^
大潮の直後で砂浜は出ていませんでしたが、まさに絶景、日本ではありえない光景が広がって、テンション最高潮。
子供(12)がシュノーケリング初めてでしたが、ライフベスト装着で快適にきれいな水中を散策していました。
船上もきれいで、トロピカルな雰囲気の中でランチをいただきボーーっとした最高の時間が流れます。
ランチ後はカメポイントに移動し、ウオッチング(写真)、帰りもスムーズで問題なく終了しました。
スタッフの皆さん、最高のひと時をありがとう~
船上は風があって快適で、気付かないうちに日焼けしますので、日焼け対策は万全に、後、500mlのペットボトルに水道水を入れて持っていくと、軽く海水を流せてすっきりですよ
The water was a bit cold, but as the sun rose, the colors became beautiful and it warmed up, and on top of that, we got to see a rainbow, which was amazing. The explanation about snorkeling was thorough, and even the companions who had felt scared on other tours were able to relax and enjoy themselves. They said they wanted to do more of this kind of thing.
The breakfast was delicious, and I was happy that they shared leftover snacks by putting them in a zip bag for everyone.
水は少々つめたかったけど、太陽が昇るとともに色もきれいにそして、あたたかくなってきて、おまけに虹も見れて最高でした。
シュノーケルについての説明もていねいで、他のツアーで恐怖感を覚えていた同行者も安心して楽しんでいました。
こんなんやったらもっとしたいそうです。
朝食もおいしく、食べ残ったお菓子などをジップバックに入れてみなさんにわけてくださり、うれしかったです。
They came to pick us up in the morning, and we arrived in just under an hour.
There are many staff members who speak Japanese well, so it’s very reassuring.
It’s quite popular, with many locals also attending.
We participated in the deluxe plan, which includes unlimited juice and a buffet-style meal centered around meat, along with salads and fruits. It's quite delicious.
The only money needed is for the locker fee:
Large $12 + $5
Small $7 + $5
(The $5 is a deposit that is returned upon presenting the key and receipt.)
There are many attractions, so the day goes by in no time.
You can have a very enjoyable day. I've been here twice, and I want to go again the next time I come to Hawaii.
朝迎えに来ていただいて

アトラクションも数多くありますので
一日があっという間に終わります。
とても楽しく一日が過ごせます。
2回来ましたが次回ハワイに来たときも
また行きたいと思います。
The sandbar unfortunately wasn't visible above the water, but we were able to take great photos with the beautiful scenery in the background. The sea turtles were a bit disappointing. Snorkeling around the coral was fun. The lunch prepared by the captain was also delicious.
サンドバーは、あいにく水面から出ていなかったが、美しい景色をバックに良い写真が撮れました。ウミガメは少し期待はずれでした。珊瑚の周りのシュノーケリングは、楽しかったですね。キャプテンが調理するランチも美味しかったです。
I participated in a tour for the first time, and it was absolutely wonderful. Everything was as beautiful as paradise, and the staff were all very cheerful people, which made it truly enjoyable. The white sand of the sandbar, the cuteness of the sea turtles, and the beautiful fish while snorkeling among the corals created unforgettable memories for the kids as well. Also, the hamburgers on the boat were delicious! An uncle next to us played the guitar and sang, making it a truly dreamy time. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
初めてツアーに参加しましたが、非常に素晴らしかったです。
すべてが天国のようにきれいで、またStaffの皆さんも非常に愉快な方々ばかりで、本当に楽しみました。
Sandbarの白い砂、ウミガメの可愛らしさ、珊瑚でのシュノーケリングの美しい魚たち。子供たちにとってもどれも忘れらない思い出になりました。
それから、船上のハンバーガーのおいしかったこと!横でおじさんがギターの弾き語りをしてくれて、本当に夢のような時間でした。
素晴らしい思い出をありがとう!
Sail and snorkel trip was great. Thanks to the all-girl crew and everyone at Captain Bob's. Special thanks to Jenner for his bus trip narration and musical cruise entertainment.
Only poor note was the ride home. Bus trip back to Waikiki was a nightmare. Traffic was horrible and Vince is way too polite to be a city bus driver.
The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.
It was the tour I was looking forward to the most in Hawaii. It was just as I expected, very good!! The guide was mostly Japanese, which gave me a sense of security. The sandbar was wonderful, but the snorkeling, which was my first time, was also very good. The final turtle watching was satisfying as I was able to see many turtles. If I have the opportunity to go again, I definitely want to go.
ハワイで一番楽しみにしていたツアーでした。
期待通り、とてもよかったです!!
ガイドさんはほとんど日本人だったので、安心感がありました。サンドバーも素晴らしかったけど、初めてのシュノーケリングもとても良かったです。
最後のウミガメウオッチングも、たくさんのウミガメを見ることができ、とても満足のいくツアーでした。
また行く機会があれば是非行きたいです。
The weather was not great on the day of the tour, but miraculously, it cleared up when we arrived at the sandbar. The gradient from the sandbar to the deep sea was beautiful, and I was very satisfied with it. We also saw nearly ten sea turtles. I didn't realize there were so many of them!
Overall, it was a satisfying tour, but I wish the pickup time had been 20 to 30 minutes earlier so that we could have had a bit more time for snorkeling. That way, we would have been able to catch the low tide and see the sandbar more clearly from the water's surface.
当日は天気がイマイチでしたが、サンドバーに着くと奇跡的に晴れました。サンドバーから海の深い所へのグラデーションが美しくとても満足のいくものでした。ウミガメも10匹近く見れました。あんなにいっぱいいるものなんですねー。
全体的には満足のいくツアーでしたが、ピックアップの時間をもう20~30分速めてもらって、シュノーケリングの時間をもう少し取ってもらいたいなと思いました。
そうすれば干潮の時間にも間に合って水面から出たサンドバーも見やすくなると思います。
Thank you for enjoying the sandbar. The tides vary from day to day, so it may not always be possible to enjoy the sandbar that is above the water's surface, but there are shallow areas where you can walk in the middle of the ocean, allowing you to experience something extraordinary. We look forward to your next visit.
サンドバーをお楽しみいただき有難うございます。潮の満ち引きは日によっても異なるため必ずしも水面からでたサンドバーをお楽しみいただくことはできませんが、海の真ん中で散歩できる浅瀬が広がりますので、非日常的な体験をお楽しみいただければと思いご案内いたしております。またのご利用お待ちしております。
We participated the day after we arrived in Hawaii. At first, the kids (12 and 9 years old) were hesitant, but in the end, they played until just before the gathering time. Anyway, we laughed, shouted, and had an amazing time. Everyone agreed that we want to come back.
ハワイに着いた翌日に参加しました。
最初、消極的だった子供たち(12歳、9歳)も最後は集合時間ぎりぎりまで遊んでいました。
とにかく、笑って、叫んで、ものすごく楽しかったです。
また来たいね。って全員一致の意見でした。
The sliders were really fun, and even adults enjoyed them thoroughly. However, the stay was short, so it was difficult to experience everything. Be prepared for long lines during meal times.
本当にスライダーが楽しくて、大人でも十分に楽しめました。ただ、滞在時間が短いのでなかなか全部をまわることはできません。食事時には長蛇の列を覚悟。
Damien was a great tour guide giving excellent information throughout the entire tour. The greatest part of the trip is the "Grand Canyon" of the islands. Although somewhat expensive (airfare I guess), my wife and I really enjoyed the day.
Especially liked the driver who also guided us through to the shows and where we were could get to when they were starting. She gave us a mini tour on the way to the cultural center which was very interesting. She was fun, joyful, and looked out for us.
I'm from NZ and am intending on bringing some 11-12yr olds back next year. I found it very moving and am sure everyone who attends will also be the same. I hope that when I do bring my students back that they will also appreciate and understand the impact it has had on everyone involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The weather was favorable, and we were able to see many sea turtles. The snacks were delicious, and I was satisfied. The sandbar had a wonderful contrast with the sea and was very beautiful. Next time, I would like to visit during a lower tide.
天候にも恵まれウミガメも数多く見ることができました。軽食も美味しく満足。サンドバーも海のコントラストが素晴らしく綺麗でした。今度はもっと引き潮の時に訪れたいと思います。
We were blessed with good weather and encountered about seven sea turtles. The guide mentioned that days like this are truly rare. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch and had a blissful time.
天候にも恵まれ海がめも7匹ぐらい遭遇し、ガイドさんもこんな日は本当にめずらしいとの事。昼食も美味しく頂き至福の時を過ごせました。
Overall a relaxing sail and a great time was had by my wife and i.
Never snorkeled before, but that was no problem....the boat was really impressively clean and well cared for. SOme tours can be kind of slack about cleanliness (bathrooms, facilities, etc..) but not this one...everything was immaculate. Staff was great. Always "on it" as far as service goes, and we had just a really great day. I could go on this tour several times and still enjoy it just as much, if not more, than the first time. Great staff. GReat day.
There are various types of slides, from scary ones to kid-friendly ones, so we were able to play for half a day without getting bored. By the time it was time to pick up, I felt like we could have stayed for another two hours! I plan to go again!
怖いものからキッズ向けのものまでいろいろなスライダー系があって飽きずに半日遊べました。ピックアップの時間になり、あと2時間くらいはあってもいいと思えるほどでした。またいく予定です!
We all had an amazing day snorkeling. the crew were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. The reef was brilliant and we would definitely have gone back for a second visit if we had time on this trip.
brilliant for all the family.
I participated in the afternoon session.
We boarded a yacht from the harbor and enjoyed a pleasant breeze while taking in the wonderful scenery during a brief cruise.
I spotted two turtles basking in the sun.
On this day, the sandbar didn't emerge from the water, but it was shallow enough to knee height, allowing us to enjoy the mystery of it.
The weather was nice, but there was quite a bit of wind, so the water felt warmer, almost like being in a hot spring.
While snorkeling, a turtle appeared right in front of me and swam towards me as I was getting my camera ready, which was a bit scary, but I was able to play with the turtle after snorkeling.
I had already enjoyed so much up to this point, but the lunch was absolutely delicious.
The staff asked, "Would you like to eat on the yacht's deck?" and my husband and I took over the space for ourselves (laughs).
Shopping usually takes center stage in Hawaii, but participating in this tour created the best memories and made me think that next time, I definitely want to go out to sea on a yacht again!
午後の部に参加してきました。
港からヨットに乗り、気持ちの良い風を浴びながら、素晴らしい景色を眺めながら、しばしのクルージング。
甲羅干しをしているカメを2匹発見しました。
この日のサンドバーは海面から顔を出すことはありませんでしたが、膝ぐらいの浅さだったので十分神秘を味わえました。
天気は良かったですが、風が結構あったので、水の中の方が温かく、温泉に来ているようでした。
シュノーケリングでは目の前にカメが現れ、カメラを構えていた自分の方に向かってきたので怖かったですが、シュノーケリング後もカメと遊ぶことができました。
ここまでも十分楽しみましたが、なんといってもランチが最高においしかったです。
スタッフの方が「ヨットのデッキで食べますか?」と言ってくれ、夫婦2人で占領させていただきました(笑)
いつもハワイはショッピング中心になりますが、このツアーに参加して、次回も必ずヨットで沖に出よう!と思わしてくれる最高の思い出になりました!!!
Great experience for the entire family. Absolutley, worth spending the day. Very inspiring and sobering at the same time.
I was planning to relax at Kailua Beach, but the day I signed up for the tour was Independence Day! The beach was packed with people. Well, I managed to enjoy it to some extent, but if you're aiming for a "relaxing" experience, it seems better to avoid Sundays and holidays.
カイルアのビーチでのんびり。。。を予定していたら、ツアー申し込んだ日は建国記念日!ビーチはLocoでイッパイでした。
まぁ、そこそこには楽しめましたけど。。。
「のんびり」を目指すのであれば、日曜・祝日は避けた方がよさそうです。
Our experience with Captain Bob's Snorkel Cruise was awesome. The staff was laidback and friendly and made our experience great. They played volleyball on the sandbar with us, cooked us an awesome burger and gave great tips and help to make our snorkle experience the best. Could have done with a little less of Jenner's singing, since he seems to like to "ham it up" a bit too much.
I look forward to my next trip to Oahu so I can do this tour again.
My friends and I had come to Hawaii for Spring Break, and they had literally spent the entire time just sitting on the beach drinking and getting tans. That was cool for about a day or two then I was done! I wanted to DO SOMETHIN!
I heard about this water park and it seemed like something that would be fun to mix it up and get goin!
And It was. It was cool, and fun, and a great change of pace from how bored I was! I liked the fast rides and slides....the little number thing that helped you pick them was cool cuz I chose all the fast and hard ones! yeah!
I say go to this park for sure. Cool.
After staying in Waikiki for the week, my kids were climbing the walls and my wife and I were ready for a change and just needed to get out and spend a day away from the hotel. This was a perfect choice. The free transport from the hotel also really helped to justify the costs for me as the wallet-holder!
The ride there wasn't too long, just under an hour, and when we got there, the kids went nuts! It was go go go all day, and when they got home to the hotel that night, they went straight to bed! I swear, I wanted to go back the next day just for that reason alone! It was a great day and I highly recommend the park, especially for families.
This was the second time we've done the Starlight Luau. We liked it the first time and we weren't disappointed the second time around. The biggest plus is the food; it is varied and delicious. The performers are pretty good as well. The one negative is the setup; the tables are packed so everyone is crammed together like sardines. A little more elbow room would make this a 5 star review. We've been to other luau's that you need to take a 40 minute bus ride to get repeatedly bitten by bugs on the beach; this one has better food and far more convenience.
This was the third time we've taken Captain Bob's and for the third time, we had a great time. This has become a "must do" activity for us on every trip. The crew is friendly and helpful - Jenner and Kelly stood out for us - and the lunch was very good. The sandbar is my favorite part of the activity. As long as Captain Bob keeps sailing, we'll continue to climb aboard!
I previously participated in a morning tour with my husband in March. At that time, it was cold and the sky was overcast, and the seawater was so cold that we had to give up on snorkeling! However, we got some great photos at the beautiful sandbar!
This time, I joined an afternoon tour with friends! We were able to enjoy snorkeling, but due to the tides, the sandbar seemed to be underwater?? We couldn't see the beach that appeared in the sea. What a shame.
We were able to see sea turtles multiple times and even swam with them!
以前3月に主人と午前のツアー参加した経験ありです。その時は寒く空もどんより・・余りに海水が冷たくシュノーケル断念!しかし、美しいサンドバーと記念写真はバッチリ!
今回は友達と午後のツアー参加!シュノーケルは楽しめましたが、潮の満ち干きの関係?あれっ?サンドバーが海中??海に現れる砂浜は対面出来ず。残念。
海がめさんは何回も見れたし一緒に海中で泳げましたよ!
The water slide was a lot of fun. My 2-year-old loved the kids' slide and went down it dozens of times. My 10-year-old daughter was very happy with the thrilling slides that aren't available in Japan. However, it seemed like it was just the start of summer vacation, and even though we went on a Friday, it was quite crowded, and we had to wait over 40 minutes for some rides. Because of that, we didn't have enough time (><). I would like to go again when it's less crowded. Also, even if you choose a plan without a float, you can borrow one. Everyone was using them freely on-site, and there was nothing written on the wristbands to check.
ウォータースライダーがとても楽しかったです。
2歳の子は、子供用の滑り台が気に入り何十回も滑っていました。10歳の娘は日本にはない迫力のあるスライダーにとても喜びました。しかしちょうど夏休みに入っていたようで、金曜日に行きましたが結構混んでいて40分以上並んだものもありました。。。ですので、時間が全然足りませんでした(><)もう少し、混んでいない時にまた行きたいです。あと浮き輪はついていないプランでも借りられます。現地では、みんなが勝手に使っていました。チェックするところも、リストバンドにも何も書かれていなかったです。
Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!
Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!
Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!
