The sandbar didn't appear due to the tide, but I had a great time playing in the sea with paddleboarding in the shallow waters. During snorkeling, I saw various fish around the coral reefs and even encountered a sea turtle. The water clarity was disappointing, but that might have been due to the weather, which was rainy and then clear. The staff were all very friendly, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which was really helpful as they kindly explained things in Japanese after the English instructions. Anyway, I was really happy to enjoy the sea activities even at this age.

潮の加減でサンドバーは現れなかったけど、浅瀬でのパドルボードを使っての海遊びなど、すごく楽しめました。
シュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の周りでは色々な魚たちが見えたし、海ガメにも会えました。
海の透明度は期待外れでしたが…。雨が降ったりやんだりの天候だったせいかも…。
スタッフは皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたし、日本語の話せるスタッフもいて、英語での説明をもう一度日本語で丁寧に説明してくれてとても助かりました。
とにかく、この年になっても海遊びが楽しめたこと、嬉しかったです。

The weather was great and I had an amazing time. The friendliness of the crew was very pleasant. I would like to use this service again next time.

お天気も良く最高に楽しかったです。クルーの皆さんのフレンドリーさが心地よい。次回も利用したいと思います。

I had made a reservation for another day, but after checking the weather forecast and seeing it was going to rain, I contacted them to switch to a morning tour that was available online, and they responded immediately. The day we went wasn't sunny either, so I think it would be perfect if the weather is nice. However, I was satisfied because I was able to enjoy stand-up paddleboarding and even saw sea turtles while snorkeling.

別日で予約をしていましたが天気予報を確認後、雨だったので急遽その日の午前中のツアーがネット空いていたので連絡したら直ぐに対応して頂きました。
行った日も晴天では無かったのでお天気が良いと最高だと思います。
しかし…supも楽しめてシュノーケリングでウミガメにも会えたので満足出来ました。

We had an amazing time. The crew was awesome, the views were amazing and the food was good too!!!

It was an amazing experience! The clarity of the ocean was wonderful, and the snorkeling was the best. I can't swim, but the captain kindly taught me how to wear a life jacket and put on the mask and snorkel. I held onto the rescue tube, and the captain pulled me along. Plus, while feeding the fish, many of them swam alongside us. I even encountered sea turtles and seals! I felt like Ariel!

You can also rent a SUP. There were floaties available for kids. There was someone on the crew who spoke Japanese, and they provided transportation to and from the hotel, so I had no issues at all. I want to go again!

最高な体験でした！海の透明度も素晴らしく最高なシュノーケリングでした。私は泳げないのですがライフジャケットを着て、マスク・シュノーケルを付けて、、と、キャプテンが丁寧に教えてくれました。レスキューチューブに捕まり、それをキャプテンが引っ張ってくれて、、おまけに餌を撒きながら泳ぐのでたくさんの魚たちが一緒に泳いでくれます。ウミガメにもアザラシにも会いました‼︎アリエルになった気分でした‼︎
SUPも借りれます。子供用に浮き輪もありました。クルーに日本語ができる方がいたり、ホテルまで送迎があったりと困ることがありませんでした。また行きたいです‼︎

The captain kindly spoke slowly, even though the guests did not understand each other's languages. Since it was a private boat, we were able to spend a fulfilling time together, ultimately becoming closer.

キャプテン、ゲストお互いの言語が分からなくても親切にゆっくりとお話ししてくださりました。
プライベートボートということもあり最終的には距離も近くなれたほど充実した時間を過ごせました。

We participated as a family, and we were the only Japanese people there. When I conveyed that I wasn't very good at English in broken phrases, the captain said, "No problem." Anyway, all four crew members worked hard, were attentive to the guests, and were very friendly, which felt great. The sky, which was cloudy in the morning, cleared up, and we were able to see dolphins, sea turtles, and a family of sea lions.

For snorkeling, they provided life jackets, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. However, after swimming, it gets very cold when the sea breeze hits you, so I think it's better to bring a towel (and a jacket) with you.

It became a wonderful memory.

家族で参加しましたが、日本人は私達だけ。あんまり英語が得意じゃないと、カタコトで伝えると、船長さんは、ノープロブレムと言ってくれました。とにかく4人のクルーがみんなよく働くし、お客さんのことも気にかけてくれて愛想がよく、気持ちがよかったです。朝は曇っていた空も晴れてきて、イルカやウミガメ、オットセイの親子も見られました。
シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを貸してくれるので安心して楽しめました。ただ泳いだあとは、海風に当たるととても寒いので、しっかりタオルを(上着も)持っていったほうがいいと思います。
いい思い出になりました。

1st the weather cooperated.

2nd the crew was great, super friendly, knowledgeable of history of the area old and current.
Professional attitude and service, felt safe and comfortable the entire trip.

3rd we saw a lot of sea turtles from the boat and saw one underwater next to the coral reef snorkeling.

A lots of fish on the reef. Warm fresh water rinse and warm beverages after 90 minute snorkeling period.

Lastly the boat was Captained very well and the mooring was pretty cool to watch. We highly recommend.

Thank you for a great day.

The ride to the port was on time and smooth
We got funny & enthusiasm tour guides
It started to get so fun as soon as we got on the boat
All the activities were fantastic. We enjoyed every moment on the cruise so time went by very fast.
The staffs made this trip amazing I believed, so thankyou so much for the great day on the bay.

This is one of the most memorable experiences that we've during our recent trip! The staff as so accommodating from the very beginning of our cruise to the end. We were in such a beautiful location to relax and just have fun and really appreciate Hawaii. There were many snacks, water and other drinks that came with our package. Another great thing is that we could bring our own alcoholic beverages. We saw at least 3 turtles and other beautiful fishes in the ocean. The lift vests were comfortable and we were guided by the staff while swimming out during snorkeling. We would do this again!

Perfect for non-swimmers. We had so much fun snorkeling and trying the SUP. Thanks Captain Bruce Team!

This was fantastic, more than we expected! Great food, drink, music, crew!
Never had so much fun! The entire trip was outstanding. The sunset was amazing! The sailing out of this world. Everyone was enjoying themselves immensly. We even saw a dolphin swimming along side us. Perfect night. I'd recommend this highly, 10+
Next time we are back in Oahu, we will definitely do this again!

Thanks again for an amazing, awesome time.

I used a plan that included transportation from the hotel in Waikiki to the site. The bus driver was kind and introduced us to good shops for souvenirs and delicious local restaurants along the way. The explanations were in English, but he mixed in a little Japanese, so I could somewhat understand the content.

During snorkeling, I was able to see swimming sea turtles multiple times, and they were very cute. I also saw many colorful fish.

I could use the SUP for free, and I was able to stand on the board and paddle. On the boat, soft drinks and snacks are provided for free, so I never had to worry about being thirsty.

ワイキキ内ホテルから現地までの送迎付きプランを利用しました。
バスのドライバーは親切で、道中、土産を購入するのにお得な店や現地の美味しいレストランの紹介をしてくれました。英語での説明ですが、少しだけ日本語を混ぜて説明してくれるので、何となく内容は伝わりました。
シュノーケルでは、泳いでいるウミガメを何度も見ることができ、とてもかわいかった。色鮮やかな魚もたくさん見ることができました。
ＳＵＰを無料で使用することができて、ボードの上に立ってこげるようになりました。
船内では、ソフトドリンクとお菓子が無料で提供されますので、喉が渇いて困るということはありません。

Fabulous scenery, excellent staff. We went Friday morning 10/28. We played with paddleboards, and floating on the sandbar. The crew than walked us out to coral water with Google, and lifevests for safety. We saw many beautiful fish and found about 3-12"turtles mostly resting in the coral reefs. It was excellent time. Highly recommend.

We had a great time with a wonderful crew of ladies! You all run a tight ship. Well organized, fun and relaxing time. Would have been fun to have a “I survived a Portuguese Man of War sting” shirt for the lady that ran into the little guy. Mahalo!

Highly recommend this tour. The crew was awesome! The sandbar was one of the coolest places ever. Beach volleyball was so much fun and the food was great. Snorkeling at the coral reef was good! We saw several turtles during the turtle watch time. The crew was very experienced Totally awesome experience! You won’t want to miss this one!

This was a very enjoyable excursion, the staff were very attentive and wanted everyone to have a great experience.

The Captin Bruce Cruise and swimming experience was amazing. All of the boat crew members had great attitudes and made this a very memorable day. The crew was always right there to help all family's feel very important and helped in make a everlasting memory for all ages.

This was my family's first trip out on the Ocean. The crew helped us find the best places to see all underwater sea life fish and coral. We got to get right up to all the Turtles as they were resting in there natural environment or help us all swimming around to make these memories of a life time. I would love to be able to come back so I can make reservations with this same group.

Captain gave my son a memorable experience as he got to sit behind the wheel. We felt safe the entire time and appreciate the great conversation with staff!

What an amazing adventure! The crew was so nice! The boat ride was amazing and the snorkeling was just out of this world! Best day of my entire trip.
The barbecue was perfect. And playing volleyball in the middle of the ocean was just unreal! Thanks again for the memorable experience

I participated with my 6-year-old child. We were able to see sea turtles and fully enjoyed snorkeling. The staff were kind to my child, and even though it was our first time in Hawaii as a parent and child, we had a great time.

6歳の子と2人で参加しました。ウミガメも見れたし、シュノーケルも満喫できました。スタッフの方も子供に親切で、親子2人で初めてのハワイでしたが楽しめました。

I participated in a sandbar tour that I had wanted to go on for a long time with four friends from university. Since there was a Japanese guide, we didn't have any particular difficulties and had a great time. We had plenty of time to enjoy taking lots of photos both at the sandbar and while snorkeling, and we also saw many sea turtles from the boat! I highly recommend this tour!

ずっと行きたかったサンドバーのツアーに、大学生の友達4人で参加しました。日本人のガイドさんがいたので、特に困ることもなく、楽しく過ごせました。サンドバーでもシュノーケリングでも、写真をたくさん撮って満喫するだけの時間は十分ありましたし、船の上からウミガメもたくさん見れました！とてもおすすめのツアーです！

The sandbar felt better during low tide.

The sea wasn't very clear, possibly due to the rain the day before.

Despite that, I think it was great to encounter a sea turtle.

サンドバーは
もう少し干潮が良かった感じです。

海は前の日に雨が降ったせいか
若干透明度が良くなかったです。

その中でもウミガメに出会えた事は
良かったと思います。

OMG!!! The best experience I ever had. Everyone was so friendly and helpful

First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.
Advice,

My two friends and I had an amazing time. The crew was amazing, friendly, informative, interactive, talked a lot with the participants, very engaging and informative about the wildlife. We’ll do it again for sure! Time flew, it was over before we knew it! ... snorkeling was great, paddle boarding exceptional, and just relaxing on the giant blue floating mat was the best! Will definitely do again!

Overall worth it, the only thing is that the snorkeling site was nothing exciting and you could barely see turtles or any fish. The best part was the volleyball match.

We participated as a couple. We took a shuttle bus to the port and transferred to a boat to the sandbar. The scenery was truly breathtaking. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding. During snorkeling, we were able to see fish playing around the corals and even spotted a sea turtle up close, which was moving. On the boat while it was anchored, there were plenty of snacks, apples, and drinks, so we didn't have to worry about getting hungry. The staff were all very friendly, which made the tour even more enjoyable. However, this tour had mostly Japanese participants (there were also people from Taiwan and Korea), but the explanations about how to spend time in the sea and safety instructions were only in English. After the English explanation, they asked those who didn't understand to raise their hands, and a Japanese staff member provided explanations in Japanese as a service. On another optional tour, they always provided explanations in Japanese along with the English ones, so that was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was really fun to experience a different side of Hawaii than Honolulu. I definitely recommend participating when you go to Hawaii.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。
送迎バスで港に行き、船に乗り換えサンドバーへ。
まさに絶景でした。
天候にも恵まれシュノーケリング、ボードを楽しみました。
シュノーケリングではサンゴと戯れる魚、そしてウミガメを近くで見ることもでき、感動しました。
係留中の船内にはスナック菓子やりんご、ドリンクがたくさんあり、小腹が空いても安心でした。
スタッフの皆さんもとてもフレンドリーで、よりツアーを楽しめました。
ただ、今回のツアーはほとんどが日本人(台湾・韓国の方もいらっしゃいました)だったのですが、海での過ごし方や注意事項の説明は英語のみでした。
英語説明終了後、「はい、わからなかった人。(船に)残って」と挙手をさせて、日系人スタッフからサービスのように日本語での説明がありました。
別のオプショナルツアーでは、英語説明と一緒に必ず日本語で説明してくれたので、その点だけは残念でした。
総合的にはホノルルとは違ったハワイが味わえ、本当に楽しかったです。
ハワイに行った時は是非参加していただきたいと思います。

I used this service for my honeymoon in late September. We quickly arrived at the sandbar by boat from the port. During the boat ride, the staff provided explanations. The main language was English, but they also kindly explained in Japanese, which made me feel very reassured. (There were probably about three Japanese couples participating.)

I checked the tide levels before making the reservation, but fortunately, the sky was clear, and the water depth at the sandbar was just right. First, we put on life jackets and swam in relatively deep, beautiful coral reefs. We were able to see sleeping sea turtles, the staff attracted fish for us, and we even got to touch starfish. My wife, who can't swim, was able to enjoy herself without worry. The sea was, of course, beautiful.

After returning to the shallow area, we were able to take wonderful pictures with stunning views. When we got back to the boat, they had coffee, juice, snacks, and apples prepared, so we could take a break if we got tired. The staff were all smiling and supported us in having a great time. It became a lifelong memory. I definitely want to participate again when I come back to Hawaii!!!

Thank you, everyone! One piece of advice: the round-trip bus has very strong air conditioning, so it might be good to have something to wear over your shoulders!

9月下旬に新婚旅行で利用いたしました。
港からサンドバーへはボートであっという間に着きました。ボートで向かってる間にスタッフさんから説明があります。基本は英語ですが、日本語での説明も丁寧にしてくださいましたので、とても安心できました。(おそらく日本人の方は3組くらい参加していました)
一応潮の満ち引きは予約前に確認はしましたが、幸い空は快晴で、サンドバーの水深もちょうど良かったです。
まず、ライフジャケットを付けて、比較的最新の深いサンゴ礁を泳ぎました。眠っているウミガメを見れたり、スタッフさんが魚を寄せてくれたり、ヒトデを触らせてくれたりもしました。泳げない妻でも安心して楽しめました。海はもちろん綺麗です。
浅瀬に戻ってからは、SAPで素晴らしい景色とたくさん写真を撮ることができました。
ボートに戻るとコーヒーやジュース、スナック菓子、林檎など用意してくれているので、疲れたら休憩することが出来ます。
スタッフさんも皆さんニコニコで、こちらが楽しむことをサポートしてくれます。
一生の思い出になりました。またハワイに来たら是非とも参加したいです！！！
皆さんありがとうございました！！
一つアドバイスですが、往復のバスはエアコンがめちゃめちゃ効いてるので、羽織るものはあった方がいいかも！

Really friendly staff and fun! Loved all activities…specially snorkeling!!
