We have been on many snorkel cruises and this one was hands down the best. Tyson and the crew treat you just like family. You matter when you are on this excursion and they do everything they can to ensure that you are not only safe but are having the best time while catering to your needs. They even took pictures of us while on the sandbar — they asked us, we did not make the request. ;) We highly recommend them and if we are ever in Hawai’i again would spend another day with them! Just book it, you will not regret it!!

The weather was great and it was the best experience.
We started with time for SUP and floaties, followed by snorkeling.
There were two boats, so it seems there was a reverse pattern depending on the boat.
We had plenty of time, so we could enjoy ourselves at a leisurely pace.
I was a bit anxious about snorkeling since I'm not a strong swimmer, but the staff provided assistance for those who were nervous, which made me feel secure.
It was fun to see sea turtles as well.
It was a bit chilly when we got out of the water, so I recommend bringing a bath towel.
天候もよく最高でした。
最初にSUPや浮き輪などの時間があり、その後シュノーケリングでした。
2つの船があったので船によってその逆パターンがあったようです。
時間もじっくりとっていたのでゆっくり遊ぶことができました。
シュノーケリングは私は泳ぎが苦手なので不安でしたが不安な人向けにスタッフの方の補助などもあり安心してできました。
ウミガメも見ることができて楽しかったです。
海から上がった時は少し寒かったのでバスタオルを持っていくことをおすすめします。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
I am truly glad to hear that you were able to take a break from your busy daily life and enjoy some relaxing time in this paradise ocean.

This was my third time participating. It was a snorkeling experience in the calm sea with coral. I'm in my seventies and don't swim very well, but I felt safe because I wore a life jacket and the staff guided me by pulling a float. I was able to see many sea turtles and colorful tropical fish. On the boat, you can enjoy spam onigiri, snacks, and warm drinks. I think it's a good idea to bring a change of clothes and a cover-up since you might get cold.
今回で三回目の参加です。
珊瑚の穏やかな海のシュノーケリングでした。七十代の高齢者であまり泳げませんが、ライフジャケットを付けスタッフさんが浮きを引っ張って誘導してくれたので安心でした。ホヌや彩の熱帯魚が沢山見れました。ボートではスパムおにぎりやスナック菓子温かい飲み物がいただけます。ビーチタオルと体が冷えるので着替えと羽織りは持って行った方がいいと思います。

I finally went to the heavenly sea! It truly felt like paradise, with crystal clear waters. While snorkeling, I was able to see many fish and several sea turtles hiding in the coral reefs. I was also thrilled to spot sharks from the boat. The bilingual staff provided explanations in both Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It was the most beautiful beach I've visited in Hawaii so far. I was surprised when a sea turtle swam right up to me! The staff were all kind and friendly, and I really appreciated their help. Thank you very much. I definitely want to go again someday! ❤️
念願の天国の海に行ってきました♪
本当に天国みたいで、透明で透き通る海でした。スノーケリングでは、たくさんのお魚に珊瑚礁に隠れてる海亀を何匹もみることができました。またボートからサメも目撃して大興奮。バイリンガルのスタッフさんが、日本語と英語で両方説明をしてくれるので安心です。今までに行ったハワイのビーチの中で、一番きれいでした。しかも海亀がすぐそこに泳いできてくれて、びっくりしました‼️スタッフの方は、みなさん優しくフレンドリーで、いろいろお世話になりました。ありがとうございました。いつかまたぜひ行きたいです❤️

I have been to Hawaii more than ten times, but until now, I had never been to the sandbar due to bad timing. This time, the timing was perfect for my schedule. Although the sandbar didn't appear, the water was about knee-deep, and the weather was great, making it a fantastic experience. Captain Jason, along with the cheerful Ryan and the friendly Japanese staff member Izumi, made the tour lively and enjoyable.
ハワイには10回以上来ていますが、これまではタイミングが悪く、サンドバーには行ったことがありませんでした。今回はスケジュール的にバッチリのタイミングで、砂浜は現れませんでしたが膝くらいの水深でお天気にも恵まれて最高の体験でした。キャプテンのジェイソンをはじめ陽気なライアンと日本人のイズミさんの賑やかなスタッフがフレンドリーで楽しくツアーを盛り上げてくれました。

Second Trip
We chose to start a bit slowly in the morning.
We will be picked up near the Sheraton Waikiki, at Aloha Landing. (The same location for the return trip)
This tour has over 10 Japanese tourists participating, and the bus driver was very friendly.
Along the way, he introduced us to famous restaurants in Hawaii.
During the actual tour, the three crew members were very cheerful and treated us Japanese tourists kindly.
(Since there were many Japanese tourists, they engaged us by speaking some Japanese words.)
Additionally, there was a female interpreter on board who translated in Japanese, so I was able to understand the English I couldn't catch without worry.
We were able to see sea turtles, and at the sandbar, we took photos and did stand-up paddleboarding, which was very satisfying.
I definitely recommend participating in this tour!
*Please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly, even on your back. I probably got sunburned while snorkeling.

This is an unforgettable experience for turtle lovers! I was lucky enough to encounter about six sea turtles, both big and small (@_@). Although it was snorkeling, I never expected to get this close to them. There were also various activities to enjoy at the sandbar, and even as a beginner, I had a great time with stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)\(^^)/. On the boat, there were plenty of free soft drinks and snacks. Each person gets one, and the Spam musubi, a Hawaiian classic, was delicious. The guide was fluent in Japanese, and I was particularly impressed by the talkative half-Japanese woman (^^;). If I have the chance, I would love to participate again. I hear the morning is the best time to go.

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful blue sea!
We gathered at the port and spent about three hours together, during which we not only saw the sandbar but also enjoyed snorkeling and a stand-up paddleboarding experience. On our way back to the port, we had a lovely cruise over the beautiful sea. In just these three hours, we were able to have such amazing experiences, and my whole family was very satisfied. The macadamia-flavored coffee and spam rice balls we enjoyed on the boat were also very delicious! This trip was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to Yuka and all the staff, we created wonderful memories.

This tour is undoubtedly the best must-do experience, as the title suggests!
We have experienced various tours in different countries, but this was exceptionally wonderful.
First, I want to express my gratitude to Captain Robin. I can't thank him enough. I truly feel lucky to have been on his boat!
The weather on the day was a bit cloudy, which wasn't ideal, but there were so many amazing highlights.
- From the captain and the crew, we felt a warm response and consideration, always wanting the tour participants to have a great time.
- There was attentive support from a crew member who spoke Japanese, which provided a sense of security.
- During snorkeling time, I was terrified and couldn't swim in the deep sea where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but they always offered very kind encouragement and support (I think it's good to let them know in advance if you're not a strong swimmer).
- The experience of swimming up close with sea turtles will remain a lifelong memory.
- I'm not sure if there are restrictions on the number of boats, but it wasn't crowded with boats and people like typical tourist spots, allowing us to fully enjoy nature.
- Not only were there cute and sacred sea turtles, but there were also large and beautiful fish, creating a spectacular scene. Everyone was swimming very relaxed and at ease. We even saw an eel!
I could go on about the many points that made me extremely satisfied, but overall, it was just amazing! I gave a generous tip when disembarking to express my gratitude, but my appreciation for the crew, who provided such a fun and moving experience, has not faded. Even now, after returning home, I feel like sending an additional tip! (laughs)
Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride on Captain Robin's boat again! Thank you so much!!
タイトル通り、間違いなく最高の必須ツアーです!
私達はこれまでも様々な国でツアーを経験してきましたが、格別にに素晴らしい経験となりました。
まずお伝えしたいのは、キャプテンのRobinさんの素晴らしさ。彼には感謝してもしきれません。
Robinさんの船に乗ることができたのは、本当にラッキーだったと思います!
当日の天気は少し曇りで最高とはいきませんでしたが、以下のような素晴らしいポイントがたくさんありました。
・キャプテンをはじめクルーの皆さんからは、常にツアー参加者に心から楽しんでもらいたいという温かな対応や気遣いを感じられました
・日本語ができるクルーによる親身なフォローがあり、安心感があります。
・シュノーケリングタイムでは、足が全くつかない深い海では恐怖で泳げなくなってしまう私に、常に非常に優しい声がけとサポートをしてくれました(泳ぎが苦手な方は予め伝えておくと良いと思います)。
・ウミガメと間近で一緒に泳ぐことができた経験、一生思い出に残るものとなりました。
・船数の規制があるのかはわかりませんが、観光地でありがちの、あちこち船だらけ人だらけ、ということもなく、存分に自然を満喫することができます。
・可愛いく神聖なウミガメ達だけでなく、大きくてキレイな魚達もいて壮観です。みんな非常にリラックスしてゆったり泳いでいます。ウツボもみれました!
まだまだ大満足ポイントを挙げたいところですが、とにかく最高でした!
下船時に感謝の気持ちを込めて多めにチップを渡しましたが、終始楽しく感動的な経験をさせてくれたクルーの皆さんへの感謝の気持ちは未だ冷めやらずです。帰国後の今でも追加でチップを送金させてもらいたいレベルです!笑
今度ハワイに行く時も、必ずまたキャプテンのRobinさんの船に乗りにいきます!
本当にありがとうございました!!

I visited Hawaii for the first time for my wedding and honeymoon. It was a very refreshing and wonderful experience.
This time, I went to the meeting place by rental car. On the day of the tour, I happened to check my email and found a message from the tour company saying, "There will be a canoe race tomorrow, and there may not be parking available. If you need a shuttle bus, please come to ○○ Hotel around 9:10 AM. If you are coming by car and the parking is full, please park at ○○ and walk over."
I noticed this at 9 AM, but fortunately, it was at the hotel next door, so I greeted my parents and hurried over. However, I received another email saying, "The shuttle is fully booked." In the end, we went by rental car (laughs).
The reason was that there were overlapping events on the weekend. I realized that I should definitely check my emails, as you never know what might happen (laughs).
During the trip, I planned to use Wi-Fi and LINE, so I had disabled the international calling feature. Perhaps they had tried to call me the day before (^^;).
When we arrived at the location, luckily there was one parking spot available at the boat harbor, and we were able to park the car safely.
After parking, I wasn't sure where the reception was, but when I asked a police officer at the entrance of the port in English, he kindly walked with me to show me the way, saying, "It's at the very back under the blue roof" (^^).
At the reception area, there were many people, and I couldn't find the check-in for my tour. While my husband and I were looking around, a woman in a blue shirt called out my name, so we were able to check in successfully (^^).
During the tour, important explanations were given separately to the Japanese group and the English-speaking group, with explanations provided in each language.
Regarding our belongings, the boat we boarded was divided into two levels. On the first floor, there were baskets under the seats where we could store our bags. On the second floor, we could access our items by opening the seat lids, so there was no worry about dropping anything into the sea.
While everyone was swimming, there were always one or two Japanese staff members or local staff on board to provide free drinks. It was reassuring to know they were there when we returned from the sea♪
I had some concerns about the amount of belongings and the size of our bags, but it turned out to be very reassuring. However, just in case something fell into the sea, it might be better not to take the original passport (laughs).
At the sandbar, the tide hadn't completely gone out, so there was seawater up to my knees, but the scenery was still amazing! There were staff members who were great at taking photos, and they took many pictures for us♪
From the sandbar, we could see the mountains of Kualoa, which was lovely ❤️.
The tour schedule on the website mentioned a 30-40 minute free time, but we actually had an hour, which allowed us to relax.
After practicing snorkeling and taking photos, when we returned to the boat and looked out from the second floor, we saw overseas tourists having a great time playing beach volleyball (laughs).
There was one double float, so there were couples leisurely floating around. We enjoyed sipping free drinks on the boat and had a wonderful time♡ The burgers we had on board were also incredibly delicious♫.
After that, we all moved by boat to go snorkeling. There were many small, cute fish around the coral! I was having so much fun filming in 4K on my smartphone that I could have watched them forever♡
Next, we moved to another location for turtle watching. Since we were split into two groups on the boat, when turtles were spotted on the other side, I was too lazy to move (laughs) as it felt a bit dangerous with the crowd.
But I was glad we were able to spot turtles on our side too!
When I later uploaded the videos I took, the turtles' faces were quite clear in the footage♪
The day before, we had to give up
結婚式+新婚旅行を兼ねて、初めてハワイを訪れました。
とても新鮮で素晴らしい経験ができました
今回はレンタカーで集合場所に行きました。
当日たまたま、それとなくメールを見たら
ツアー会社からメールが来ていて
『明日カヌーのレースがあり、駐車場に空きがない可能性があります。シャトルバスの送迎が必要な場合、○○ホテルに9時10分ごろ来てください。車でおこしの場合は満車の場合、○○に止めて歩いてお越し下さい』と、ありました。
9時に気づいたのですが、幸い隣のホテルだったため
両親に挨拶して急いで向かったところ
もう一つメールが来ていて
「シャトルが予約で満席になってしまいました」とあり
結局、レンタカーで向かいました(笑)
理由は土日でイベントが重なってしまったからでした。
何かあるか分からないので
ちゃんとメールは見るべきだなと思いました(笑
今回、旅行中は全てWi−Fi利用、LINE利用のつもりでいたので
国際通話の機能を無効化していました。
もしかしたら、前日に電話をくれていたのかも(^^;)
現地に向かうと、幸いボートハーバーで1つ空きがあり
無事に車も止める事ができました♩
駐車した後、どこが受付かわからなかったのですが
港の入口にいた警察官に英語で聞いたところ
「一番奥の青い屋根のところだよ」と
見えるところまで一緒に歩いて教えてくれました(^^)
受付場所には色んな人たちがいて
自分の参加するツアーの受付が分からず
主人と見渡していると
青いシャツを着た女性が名前を呼んでくれたので
無事に受付する事ができました(^^)
ツアー中、大事な説明が入る時は
日本人グループと、英語を話す人グループに分けられ
それぞれの言語で説明をしてくれました。
また荷物に関してですが
私たちが乗った船は1階と2階に分かれていて
1階は座席の下にカゴが置いてあったので
荷物はそこに置いておく事ができました。
2階は、座席の蓋を開けての出し入れだったので
海に物が落ちる心配もありませんでした。
みんなで泳ぎに出てる時なんかは
フリードリンクがいつでも提供できるように
日本人スタッフ、現地スタッフの人たち誰か1、2人が
必ず船内にいてくれました。
海から戻ると安心感もありました♪
持ち物の量やカバンの大きさ、置き場所に不安はありましたが
とっても安心しました。
でも万が一 海に落とすと怖いので
パスポート原本は持って行かない方がいいかも(笑)
サンドバーは
潮が完全に引いておらず膝下まで海水はありましたが
それでも素晴らしい景色でした!
写真を撮るのが上手なスタッフさんもいて
たくさん写真を撮っていただきました♪
サンドバーからはクアロアの山々も見えて
素敵でした❤️
サイト申込時のツアースケジュールには
30−40分のフリーとありましたが
私たちの時は1時間もあって、ゆっくり過ごす事ができました。
シュノーケリングの練習をしたり、写真を撮ったりしたあと
船内に戻り2階から景色を見ていると
海外観光客の方たちはとっても楽しそうに
ビーチバレーをしていらっしゃいましたw
1つだけ2人乗りの浮き輪があったので
ゆったり浮かんでるカップルもいました。
船内でゆっくりフリードリンクを飲んだり
素敵な時間を過ごせたとおもます♡
船上で食べるバーガーもめっちゃ美味しかったです♫
その後はみんなで船で移動して
シュノーケリングをしました。
サンゴの周りには
小さくて可愛らしいお魚が沢山いました!
スマホの4Kで撮ってて楽しくて
いつまででも見ていられそうでした♡
その後はタートルウォッチングのために
また場所を移動しました。
船内で二手に分かれていたので
反対側で見つかった時は
移動が面倒臭くて動きませんでしたw
(人も偏ってて危ない気もしましたし)
でも自分たちが居たサイドでも
無事に見つけられて良かったです!
撮った動画を後でアップしてみると
かなりハッキリと顔が見えていました♪
前日にスコールに当たり
海亀がいるビーチに行くのを断念していたので
無事見れて満足です✨✨✨
港に戻る時も海亀見れて嬉しかった♡
帰りに船の中で
色んな映画の撮影現場である事も教えてもらいました♪
結構 濃密な経験ができた日だったと思います♡

There are explanations in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not good at English can feel at ease. The free bus shuttle service also adds to the value.
(The departure times may vary depending on the season) but the first departure is early in the morning, and the tour returns just before noon, allowing you to make effective use of your time! (You won't just end up with a one-day tour.)
On the boat, drinks, chips, rice balls, and warm coffee and tea are provided, so even if you get cold, you can warm up comfortably.
I think we snorkeled for about an hour, and I was able to see sea turtles around five times. Not only could we view them from the boat, but we also got to see them up close while snorkeling. There were multiple instructors to support us during snorkeling, so even those who can't swim can feel secure. Additionally, there was someone who got stung by a jellyfish during the tour, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the instructors coordinated and provided treatment.
英語、日本語の両方で説明があるので、英語が苦手な方でも安心。
無料のバス送迎があるのもお得感があります。
(時期にもより出発時間が異なりますが)1便の方は朝早く、ツアーが終わって戻ってくるのがお昼前なので、時間を有効に使えます!(1日ツアーで終わってしまう、ということはありません。)
船にはドリンク、チップス、スパむすび、あったかいコーヒーや紅茶も用意されているので体が冷えてもほっこり温まることができます。
シュノーケリングは約1時間くらいしたと思いますが、ウミガメが5回くらい見ることができました。
船の上から眺めるだけでなく、シュノーケリングで目の前で見ることができました。
インストラクターが複数名ついてシュノーケリングをフォローしてくれるので、泳げない方でも安心です。
また、ツアー時にクラゲに刺されてしまった方がいましたが、インストラクターの方の連携、処置が早く良い意味でびっくりしました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.
I am truly happy to hear that you encountered many sea turtles, which are believed to bring happiness.
The tour you participated in is limited to the summer season. As you recommended, being able to make good use of your time after the tour is a great point, but I also recommend the early morning time as the ocean conditions are often better then. Occasionally, manta rays may also appear.
We would be delighted if you could join us again the next time you come to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to that day. 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してありがとうございました。
幸せを運ぶと信じられているウミガメにたくさん遭遇出来たとのことで本当に嬉しく思います。
今回ご参加頂いたツアーは夏季限定となっております。お勧め頂いたようにツアー終了後のお時間を有効活用できるのもお勧めポイントですが、早朝のお時間のほうが海のコンディションも良いことも多くお勧めです。まれにですがマンタも現れることも。
また次回ハワイにお越しの際もぜひ天国の海にお越しいただけると嬉しいです。その日を心よりお待ちしております。マハロ!

Everything from the snorkeling practice to the sea turtle watching and snorkeling around the coral was amazing. The burgers for lunch were also incredibly delicious! There was a Japanese interpreter, so I was able to enjoy it without any worries! I got to see sea turtles multiple times, and the coral was beautiful, but the fish swimming around were also really stunning! I would love to go again if I have the chance!
シュノーケリングの練習からウミガメウォッチングからサンゴの周りのシュノーケリング全て最高でした。
また昼食のバーガーも最高に美味しかったです‼️
日本語の通訳さんもおられたので安心して楽しめました‼️
ウミガメが何回もみれてサンゴも綺麗かったですが周りを泳いでる魚も凄く綺麗でした‼️
機会があればまた行きたいと思います‼️

Participated in the PM session. Hotel pickup at 11:00.
I was hungry... feeling anxious...
Surprisingly, snacks and juice were free, and we got one spam onigiri each.
That was great!
Even though I've participated many times, I wish I had watched the tide come in and out.
The tide was close to high... I want to go during low tide next time.
I was able to walk with the turtles while paddleboarding and snorkeling.

First, to mention the positives, there were a lot of sea turtles during snorkeling, and I was able to take many photos and see them, so I was satisfied with that.
On the downside, I didn't think the sandbar was beautiful at all. The sandbar at Barasu Island in Okinawa (an island made of coral remains in the middle of the sea) was much more impressive. After all, the sea in Okinawa is much prettier.
Also, due to the weak yen, it felt very expensive for what it was...
まず、良かった点からいえば、シュノーケリング時にウミガメがたくさんいて、たくさん写真が撮れたり、見れたのでそこは満足。
がっかりだった点は、サンドバーが全然キレイとは思えなかった。沖縄のバラス島(サンゴの死骸でできた海の中心にある、サンドバーのような島)の方が何倍も感動した。やっぱり海は沖縄のほうがキレイ。
円安のせいもあり、すごーく高かったわりには、、、という感じ。

I participated with my son (4th grade) and daughter (1st grade). The weather forecast the day before predicted thunderstorms, and it was cloudy in the morning with rain during the bus ride, but it cleared up when we got on the boat, allowing us to enjoy the blue sky at the sandbar.
It was quite cold on the boat due to the wind, and since we went straight into the sea, the kids were pretty cold even though it was sunny. I think it's a good idea to bring extra bath towels and cover-ups.
There were areas where the beach was exposed, but they were far from where the boat was docked, so we didn't go there and instead took photos and did some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The water level was about up to an adult's calves. The kids quickly got the hang of SUP and had a lot of fun.
During snorkeling, they lent us a ZAYAK for my daughter, who can't swim, and she was thrilled to see fish and sea turtles. It seemed that the ZAYAK was only available for children.
I was surprised to see sea turtles up close, even more than I expected. I couldn't take good underwater photos with my smartphone in a waterproof case, so I want to prepare an underwater camera for next time.
We were also able to see many sea turtles from the boat on the way there and back. The staff who spoke Japanese were very friendly and made it enjoyable. I would like to participate in this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
息子(小4)と娘(小1)と一緒に参加しました。
前日の天気予報が雷雨で、朝も曇り、バス移動中も雨が降っていましたが、船に乗るときには晴れてきて、青空のサンドバーを満喫できました。
船上は風が当たるので結構寒く、そのまま海に入るので、晴れていても子供たちはかなり寒がっていました。バスタオルや羽織りものは多めに用意した方がいいと思います。
砂浜が出ている場所もありましたが、船の停泊箇所から離れていたのでそこまで行かずに写真を撮ったり、SUPしたりしました。大人のふくらはぎくらいの水位でした。初めてのSUPは子供達もすぐに立てて楽しめました。
シュノーケリングの際、泳げない娘のためにZAYAKを貸して頂けて、娘も魚やウミガメを見ることができて喜んでしました。ZAYAKの貸出は子供のみの様でした。
ウミガメを想像以上に間近で見ることができて驚きました。防水ケースにいれたスマホでは水中でうまく撮影できなかったので、次は水中カメラを用意して参加したいです。
行き帰りの船からもウミガメを沢山見ることができました。日本語を話せるスタッフの方がとても気さくで楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったときにはこのツアーに参加したいです。

This experience became the most memorable one in Hawaii. The sandbar made me feel like I was in another world, and seeing the sea turtles was amazing. The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best.
Snorkeling is safe even for those who are not good swimmers. I was considering skipping it before going, but in the end, I joined in, and my parents, who are over 60, also participated. My elementary school-aged children went snorkeling for the first time, and they enjoyed it so much that they wanted me to buy them masks, which I did that day, and they even wore them to swim in the hotel pool.
I brought my 1-year-old baby, and I wish I had taken an umbrella. Even with sunscreen, you can still get quite sunburned. I think it's better for those with small children to have some kind of sun protection. The staff were friendly and great at chatting.
ハワイの中でこの体験が1番記憶に残る体験になりました。
サンドバーは異世界に来た気分になり、ウミガメも観れて、船上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
シュノーケリングは、泳ぎが苦手な人でも安心してできます。私も行く前は辞めとこうかと思っていましたが、結果私も入り60才を超えてる父母も入りました。小学生の子どもたちも初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、よっぽど楽しかったのかマスクを買って欲しいということで、その日に買いホテルのプールでもマスクをつけて泳いでました。
1才の赤ちゃんを連れて行ったのですが、日傘を持って行けば良かったと思いました。
日焼け止めを塗って行ってもかなり焼けます。
小さいお子様連れの方は何か対策があった方がいいと思います。
スタッフの方も気さくでお話し上手でした。
