良い体験ができましたm(_ _)m
ありがとうございました。
ぜひハワイに行った際は体験してみてください。
おすすめです。
We had a great time ! Well organized and a lot of fun on the sandbar.
Aloha AI,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! 🌟

It was a wonderful experience! This wasn't our first in Captain Bob's Kaneohe sandbar snorkeling adventure and it's always perfect ! My family enjoyed so much the food was great and all the crews were very nice they will assist you in anyway special mentioned to Yukikosan you rock! We can't wait to come back here in Hawaii and do it again with Captain Bob's adventure!
Most of the customers were Asian. I felt it would have been better to do kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding first since there was a wait. I think they were from China, but it seemed like they didn't have the concept of taking turns.
Snorkeling can be enjoyed in just 15 minutes at the designated spot.
Since it was close to high tide, I couldn't walk, but I felt it would have been better to check the timing before going.
お客さんの大半がアジア人でした。カヤックやスタンドパドルは順番待ちがあるため先に行うとよかったと感じました。中国の方だと思いますが、交代という考えがないように感じました。
シュノーケルは決められた場所で行うため、15分もあれば楽しめます。
満潮に近かったため歩くことはできませんでしたが、時間を調べていくとよかったと感じました。
The water temperature was lower than I expected, and I felt cold when I went snorkeling first.
水温が思った以上に低く、シュノーケルを先に行うと寒く感じました。
Aloha A-chan,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for your valuable feedback along with the 5-star rating.
Your specific insights regarding the wait times for kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as the snorkeling, water temperature, and tide timing, are incredibly helpful for future participants.
The experience at the sandbar can vary depending on the tide and weather, so we hope you can join us again at a different time. Once again, we sincerely appreciate your warm review. Our entire team looks forward to your next visit.

Aloha あーちゃん様
このたびはツアーにご参加いただき、また5つ星の高評価と貴重なご感想をお寄せくださり誠にありがとうございます。
カヤックやスタンドアップパドルの順番待ちに関するアドバイスや、シュノーケル・水温・潮のタイミングなど、実際にご体験いただいたからこその具体的なお声は、これから参加されるお客様にとって大変参考になる内容だと感じております。
サンドバーは潮の状態やお天気によっても印象が変わりますので、ぜひまた違った時間帯にも体験していただければ幸いです。改めまして温かいレビューに心より感謝申し上げます。またのご参加をスタッフ一同お待ちしております。

Every aspect of the luau was wonderful. The ambience, the view, the dinner, the singing, and the dancers!
Bring an appetite and your camera
It's a real submarine. Although it was made for tourism, you can see the bottom of the ocean in Waikiki. The air conditioning works well, so it's comfortable, and I was able to see small fish and sharks. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.
本物の潜水艦です。観光用に作られたものではありますが、ワイキキの海の底を見ることができます。エアコンがきちんと効いているので快適だし、小さな魚やシャークをを見ることができました。残念ながらウミガメは見られませんでした。
For those who want to explore from the ocean, you travel by boat to a submarine from the beach, but it was quite rocky. It’s not for a very long time, so you probably won’t need motion sickness medica
海の中から観光したい人向け。ビーチからボートで潜水艦まで移動しますが、けっこう揺れました。それほど長時間ではないので酔い止め薬は要らないかな。
Paddling a canoe and riding the waves! I probably expected to get wet, but I really got splashed. I had a very fun experience getting hit by the waves in Waikiki. It's definitely something you should try!
カヌーを漕いで波に乗る!多分濡れることを想定していたが、本当にバシャバシャかぶりました。ワイキキの波しぶきを前面に受けてとても面白い体験をしました。ぜひ体験すべきです!
Swimsuit, sandals with straps (or barefoot), and a waterproof phone case made of vinyl might be good.
水着、ストラップ付きのサンダル(または裸足)、携帯はビニール?で防水がいいかも。
Dear Atsushi,
Thank you very much for the 5-star rating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We recommend that participants join barefoot. While bringing mobile phones is allowed, they may become a hindrance during paddling. Additionally, we cannot take responsibility if they fall into the seawater or get damaged by it, so we recommend using our photo service. We look forward to your next visit.
Atsushi様:5つ星のレイティング、誠に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。ご参加者には素足でご参加になることをお勧めいたします。携帯の持ち込みは自由ですが、パドルの時に邪魔になる可能性があります。また、海水に落とされたり、海水でダメージがある場合は責任を取れませんので、弊社のフォトサービスをご利用いただくことをお勧めいたします。またのお越しをお待ちしております。
Highlight of the trip. Great crew and great views.
The highlight of the night was the show, the music, dancing, and storytelling were captivating!
The sandbar is absolutely beautiful, crystal-clear water, and amazing mountain views all around.
Aloha Kara,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! 🌟
We’re so glad you enjoyed the beauty of the sandbar, the crystal-clear water, and the stunning mountain views. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another amazing experience!

The 1000ft line gave incredible views! The takeoff and landing were smooth and overall it was a great event!
The boat ride was beautiful with views of Waikiki and Diamond Head and my family had smiles all around.
The crew was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the sharks and ocean life!! A win!
brought my daughter and her high school senior girlfriends and they said this course was just unreal - amazing view!
Getting to be in control of the UTV is a blast! The path and all the sightseeing on the way was one of the best vacay UTV experiences ever!
Kids had such a blast, with a baby in the family we had to skip the ATV but this tour was nothing short of a blast, so much movie history and the ranch does it up on the grounds!!
such a fun experience on the west oahu waters, dolphins are so cute and we got some great turtle sightings!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review!
We're so happy to hear you had a fun experience out on the beautiful West Oʻahu waters. Seeing the dolphins and turtles really does make the day extra special, doesn't it? 🐬🐢
We're glad we got to share those magical moments with you — hope to see you again on your next Hawaiian adventure!
Mahalo! 🌺
food was good for buffet, and the entertainment was so much fun!!
I used the shuttle service to Hanauma Bay. The driver was English-speaking and provided a thorough guide, which made me feel at ease. They also lent me a snorkeling set, so I could go hands-free. It was totally fine even if you're not good at English!
ハナウマ湾のシャトルサービスを利用。英語のドライバーだったけど、丁寧に案内してくれて安心。シュノーケリングセットも貸してくれて、手ぶらでOK。英語が苦手でも全然大丈夫でした!
It's a good idea to prepare drinks in advance. Having some light snacks might also be nice.
飲み物は事前に用意しておくといいです。軽食があってもいいかも。
This time, it might be because we had the place exclusively for our family, but the kindness and thoughtfulness of all the staff really shone through, and it was an activity filled with the desire to create many memories! We started with the banana boat and then moved on to the bumper tube, but after falling into the sea from the banana boat, my 7-year-old got scared and said he didn't want to do the bumper tube. The staff encouraged him, saying, "We won't let you fall, so give it a try!" and he decided to experience it. My son was very satisfied with the experience! Thanks to the playful staff, we had a wonderful time, and what I still remember is the smiles of all the staff! My son has completely warmed up to the staff and is saying he wants to see them again, wondering if they are doing well. They even helped us by driving us to a hotel that wasn't part of our original plan. Additionally, they took good care of the hat that my daughter forgot, and when we went to pick it up later, they greeted us with smiles. I want to see everyone again! Oh, and they took a lot of videos on my smartphone, so we can look back on them. What incredible hospitality!
今回は我が家だけの貸し切りだったのも理由かもしれませんが、スタッフ皆さんの優しさと心配り、沢山思い出を作ってもらいたいという気持ちがとても伝わるアクティビティでした!
バナナボートから始まってバンパーチューブと続きましたが、バナナボートで海に落ちたのをきっかけに7歳が怖がってしまいバンパーチューブをやりたくないと言い始めました。絶対に落とさないからチャレンジしてみな!とスタッフに言われ、体験することに。息子も大満足で体験することができました!遊び心をもったスタッフの方のおかげで、素敵な時間を過ごせ、今も思い出すのはスタッフの皆さんの笑顔です!息子はすっかりスタッフの方になついて、元気にしてるかな、また会いたいと言っています。予定になかった宿泊先のホテルまで送ってくださり、助かりました。そして娘が忘れてしまった帽子もきちんと保管してくださっていて、後日取りに行った際も笑顔で出迎えてくださりました。
また皆さんに会いたいです!
そうそう!スマホでたくさん動画を撮ってくれて見返すことができています。なんというホスピタリティ!
The luggage storage space is a small shelf next to the front desk. I don't think large bags will fit, so keep it to a minimum! You can enjoy taking photos while having your smartphone in a waterproof
荷物を預けるスペースは、フロント横の小さな棚です。大きな荷物は入り切らないと思いますので最小限で!スマホは防水ケースに入れて撮影しながら楽しめます。
It was fun.
The whole family enjoyed it.
Since there were only a few of us, the swaying while waiting was fine.
The kids seemed a bit anxious at first, but once they tried it, they had a great time.
楽しかったです。
家族全員で楽しめました。
少人数なので、待ちの間の波揺れも大丈夫でした。
子供たちも最初は不安そうでしたが、乗ってみたら楽しんでました。
I think there are fewer people at earlier times. Our boat departed at 9:30 with 6 guests, while the 10:00 departure seemed to have more than 10 people.
早い時間のほうが人数少ないように思います。
私たちのボートは9時半出発でゲストは6人、10時出発は10人以上乗っていたように思います。
They took us out on a banana boat and a bumper tube just for the two of us, and we enjoyed both for about 15 minutes each! Before we started, they took our smartphones to capture some photos, which made for some wonderful memories.
バナナボートもバンパーチューブも私たち2人だけのために船を出してくれ、どちらも15分ずつぐらい楽しませてくれました!開始前にスマホを渡して写真撮影もしてくださり、とてもいい思い出になりました。
The bumper tube can be surprisingly intense, so I think it's a good idea to remove waterproof cases that hang around your neck and experience it without them.
バンパーチューブは意外と激しいので、首から下げるタイプの防水ケースなどは外して体験するといいと思います。
My 9-year-old daughter participated. Since it was a surfing experience in shallow waters, I felt more at ease as a parent with her wearing a life jacket. She really practiced surfing and was able to stand on the board properly within an hour. She felt a sense of accomplishment and said it was a really great experience! Additionally, although there was an extra charge, they also filmed a video, and the quality of the final product is good.
9歳の娘が参加しました。遠浅な所で波乗り体験なので、出来ればライフジャケットを着用するのが親としては安心です。本当にサーフィンを練習するので一時間もすればきちんと板の上に立てる様になりまし、子供も達成感とすごーく体験して良かった!との感想でした。また,追加料金ではありますが、動画も撮影してくれて、仕上がりもいいです。
I recommend wearing a life jacket. Also, knowing in advance that it is a shallow water experience can provide some peace of mind.
ライフジャケットの着用を勧めます。あと、遠浅での体験である事は,事前に承知しておくと何となく安心します。
The luau show and the fire show were wonderful. The tattoo experience was also great, and I got a unique flower design. I could choose designs like turtles or tribal patterns for the tattoo. Of course, since it was done with a permanent marker, it faded by the next day.
The food was just okay—neither good nor bad.
I was able to see a beautiful sunset from the venue, and on Friday night, I watched fireworks that were among the best I've ever seen.
ルアウショーも、ファイヤーショーも素敵でした。タトゥー体験も素敵で個性的な花を描いてもらいました。タトゥーは亀とか部族の柄も選べました。もちろん油性マジックなので、次の日には消えました。
食事内容はまあまあです。可もなく不可もなくといった感じ。
会場から素敵な夕日も見れたし、金曜日の夜で花火を見たのですが、人生最高に近い花火でした。
The sea was, of course, beautiful, but this tour was not just about seeing the ocean. The staff really got everyone involved, playing beach volleyball and grilling delicious hamburgers. The service was excellent. Of course, it was in Japanese. I definitely recommend this over just a sightseeing tour.
海はもちろん綺麗だったんですが、このツアーはただ海を見るだけではなくて、スタッフが一緒に盛り上げてくれてビーチバレーをしたり、美味しいハンバーガーを焼いてくれたり、サービス最高でした。もちろん日本語でした。ただ見に行くツアーより断然オススメです。
I was nervous about the first experience, but the crew really got everyone excited, and I had an amazing time. Also, my daughter got seasick and I felt bad for the inconvenience, but they were very considerate until the end, which made me very happy.
初めての体験に、ドキドキしていましたが、クルーの方が盛り上げてくださり、最高に楽しめました。また、娘が船酔いをして、ご迷惑をおかけしたのに、最後まで気遣ってくださり、とても嬉しかったです。
Don't forget to take your motion sickness medication!
酔い止めの服用をお忘れなく!
The Xplore ride was really fun and brought out the kid in me! If you know a little about VR and Mixed Reality, this experience starts off with Mixed Reality with nice fish and marine life around you and some light educational sections on Waikiki and the beaches. The ride does transition into full VR at times with underwater volcanic vents, above ground volcanic eruption, a 360 visual aerial view above the islands (nice!), and an underwater route with all sorts of aquatic creatures around you, known to be local to the islands and some nice coral (this was my favorite part). There is more light educational pieces dispersed in these full on VR parts as well. The movement of the bus really gives you the sense of “traveling” through the VR worlds and even the fish “swimming” through the bus in Mixed Reality was enhanced by the movement. Our host was wonderful and really explained everything well! The driver was very friendly too. The experience can be heard in Japanese or English. Too me, the only negative, though the headsets are of very high quality, was the pass through video of the outside was a bit unfocused when it was too far in the distance (like the ocean views near Diamond Head). Final thoughts are that it is definitely worth it and please consider supporting this business and others that bring the beauty of nature and the immersion of technology and imagination together!
Make sure to show up a bit early!
During my visit to Pearl Harbor National Memorial, I was struck by the powerful sense of history and reflection that filled the site. Walking through the museum exhibits, I learned about the events of December 7, 1941, and saw artifacts, photos, and personal stories that brought the day to life. Taking the boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial was especially moving, as I stood above the sunken battleship and honored the lives lost. The experience was both educational and emotional, offering a deep reminder of the sacrifices made and the importance of peace.
You can book the ticket last minute!
Diving into the deep blue ocean, known as the color of the Earth, allowed me to see fish and sea turtles in their natural state up close, which was a wonderful experience. We spotted dolphins from the boat, but perhaps because we had children with us, we didn't see them underwater. However, on our way back to the harbor, a large group of spinner dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped for us! Minako, our Japanese guide with 14 years of experience, always responded to our concerns with a smile and quickly addressed any issues. She was trusted by the other foreign staff, ensuring that we felt completely supported, making our first serious snorkeling experience very reassuring. Mahalo, thank you!
地球の色と言われる通りの深いブルーの大海に飛び込んで大自然のままの魚やウミガメを間近に見ることが出来、素晴らしい経験でした。イルカは船からは見られたのですが、子連れだったためか海中では見れませんでしたが、ハーバーに戻る途中、沢山のハシナガイルカが船に伴走してジャンプしてくれました!。この道14年と仰る日本人ガイドのみなこさんはお客の困りごとにも常に笑顔で迅速に対応され、他の外人スタッフにも信頼されていてサポートが万全で初めての本気のシュノーケルでも安心でした。
マハロ〜、ありがとうございました!
If you are prone to seasickness, please prepare some anti-nausea medication. Waterproof warm clothing and towels are essential, as it can be quite physically demanding (even on sunny days, it can be a
船酔いする方は酔い止めのご用意を。濡れてもいい防寒着やタオルは必須、結構体力を奪われるのでご注意を(晴天でも26℃くらい)珊瑚保護のためオキシベンゼンフリーの日焼止めしか使えないから現地で必ず調達を。
Aloha! Liz. Thank you for participating in Dolphin University. I'm very sorry you couldn't swim with the dolphins. Thank you for the five stars despite that. I'm glad you encountered two types of dolphins and experienced the colors of the Earth during the tour. Also, thank you for your comments about our Japanese guide, Minako. It will be a great encouragement for her!! Additionally, I greatly appreciate your feedback on motion sickness prevention, cold weather measures, and coral-friendly sunscreen!! Please do come back and visit us again when you're in Hawaii. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! リズさま。イルカ大学に参加していただき、ありがとうございました。イルカと一緒に泳げなかったのはとても残念でした。そんな中での5つ星をありがとうございます。ツアー中に2種類のイルカに出会い、地球の色を体験して頂いたことを嬉しく思います。また、日本語ガイドのみなこに関するコメントもありがとうございます。みなこにとって大きな励みになります!! 加えて、酔い止め対策、寒さ対策、珊瑚に優しい日焼け止めに関するコメントを発信していただき、大変感謝いたします!! ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際には遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
Today, I was able to see dolphins for a short time nearby. It was very enjoyable to spend time thinking about whether we would meet them, whether we could swim together, and so on. The staff also made it fun for us. The Japanese guide was cheerful and energetic, making it a wonderful memory. We also saw turtles, and my child enjoyed sliding down the slide 13 times.
今日は少しの時間にはなってしまいましたが近くでイルカを見れました。
会えるか会えないか、一緒に泳げるか泳げないか等、こんなことを考えながら過ごす時間はとても楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も一緒に楽しませてくれました。日本人ガイドも明るく元気でとても良い思い出になりました。
カメも見れ子供は滑り台を13回滑り楽しんでました。
I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication so you can fully enjoy your experience.
酔い止めを飲んでおいた方がしっかり楽しめていいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you, Mr. Addy, for participating with your family at Dolphin University. We also appreciate the five-star rating and the wonderful photos. Since the dolphins are 100% wild, the types of dolphins and where you can encounter them vary each day. I'm glad you were able to see the dolphins up close, even for a short time! Sliding down the slide 13 times is quite a new record, isn't it? I hope it became a wonderful memory for your family's summer vacation. Thank you for your comments about the Japanese guides and staff as well. Please do come back and visit us with your family when you're in Hawaii again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! アディさま。イルカ大学にご家族で参加していただき、ありがとうございました。五つ星と素敵な写真の提供にも感謝です。100%野生のイルカたちなので、どんなイルカに何処で出会えるかは毎日異なります。少しの時間でも間近でイルカを見ることが出来て良かったです!! 滑り台を13回とは新記録ではないでしょうか!! ご家族の夏休みの素敵な思い出になったら幸いです。日本語ガイドやスタッフに関するコメントもありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはご家族で遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
