Oahu
I've been on 3 trips in the last 2 months with activities scheduled everyday for jet skiing, snowmobiling, fishing, etc. and this was the most fun I have had doing any of them.
My wife is claustrophobic and just couldn't do it, so I took her turn and did it twice. There is a bag of fish food on the front of the scooter, and you squeeze it and wave it around and the fish go nuts literally right in front of you and eat from your hand. I saw 6 different species of colorful fish and a sea turtle so close I could have touched it.
They videotape you doing it and take photos, so you can show your friends who aren't going to understand unless they see it. When they do see it, they all want to do it too. Would definitely do this again.
I didn't expect Hawaii to be this cold in February! It rained occasionally, and due to the tide, the sandbar wasn't exposed, so we were about 20 cm underwater, which was a bit different from the stunning photos you usually see. However, the snorkeling experience was enjoyable, and I appreciated the kind lessons provided. I was also grateful to be able to borrow a wetsuit.
2月のハワイがこんなに寒いとは!
時折雨降るし、サンドバーは潮位の関係で砂地は出ておらず、20cmくらい水に浸かっていて、よく見る映えな写真とはちょっと違う感じでした。
ただ、シュノーケルについては、親切にレッスンもあり楽しめました。ウェットスーツを貸していただけてありがたかったです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for joining us. February is winter in Hawaii, but there are warm days that feel like summer, and unfortunately, there are also cold days when the weather turns bad. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable and hard to read. However, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございました。2月はハワイの冬ですが、夏みたいに暖かい日もあれば、残念ながら天気が崩れると寒いこともあります。ハワイの天気は変わりやすく、なかなかよめないですよね。でもシュノーケルは楽しんでいただけたようで、良かったです。またのお越しをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I was very satisfied because I could ride the slides multiple times with almost no waiting time. There are a variety of slides, so I think you'll be able to find your favorite. The lockers have a PIN code, so you don't have to carry a key like at pools in Japan, and it was very convenient since you could open and close them multiple times. It was a bit disappointing that it rained occasionally and the wind was strong. Also, the shower water was a little cold. For those planning to go by bus, I recommend a plan with transportation included, as the road can be a bit dangerous.
待ち時間ほぼ無しで何度もスライダーに乗ることができ、とても満足することができました。スライダーの種類も豊富で、お気に入りのスライダーを見つけることができると思います。ロッカーは暗証番号付きで、日本のプールの様に鍵を持たなくて済むし、何度も開け閉めができたのでとても便利でした。時々雨が降ったり、風が強かったのが残念でした。あと、シャワーの水が少し冷たかったです。Theバスで行く予定の方は、少し道が危険なので送迎付きのプランをお勧めします。
I was surprised to see whales so close to the coast. I was also happy to see them spouting several times. The ship was large and impressive, and I didn't get seasick.
海岸からあれほど近くに鯨がいるなんて驚きでした。潮吹きも何度も見られて嬉しかったです。
船は大きくて立派で、船酔いもしませんでした。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed whale watching. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

We saw dolphins, turtles, and even a whale, and there was a rainbow too—it was amazing! Since it's cold in February, it's better to spend $10 to rent a wetsuit!
いるか、亀、くじら、虹まで出て最高でした!
2月は寒いのでウェットスーツは10ドル出してでも借りた方が良いです!
Thank you for joining the tour. It was great to see whales, as this is the only time of year we can! We hope to see you again soon. We look forward to your visit.
ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。クジラに会えるのは、この時期だけなので、良かったです!また是非お越しください。お待ちしております。
The president's dog accompanied us on the tour, and it was so cute. In the first half, we alternated between stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling, but I ended up playing with the dog instead of focusing on snorkeling. The dog was a great swimmer, friendly, and very well-behaved! In the second half, we enjoyed underwater scooters. There was no trouble communicating with the instructor using gestures. It might be a good idea to review how to equalize your ears beforehand. For those with claustrophobia, it might be a bit tough, but I had a great time. I was able to see turtles up close, and the fish came to the food in my hands. Photos are $40, videos are $40, and both together are $60. I purchased both as a keepsake.
社長さんのワンコがツアーに同伴してくれてとても可愛かったです。
前半はスタンドアップパドルボートとシュノーケリングを交代でしたのですがシュノーケリングそっちのけでワンコと遊でしまいました
泳ぎも上手で人なくっこくてとても良い子!
後半は水中スクーターを楽しみました。
インストラクターさんとは身振り手振りで意思の疎通にも困ることはありませんでした。
参加の前に耳抜きの仕方だけ予習しておいたほうがいいかもしれません。
閉所恐怖症の方はもしかしたらキツイかもしれませんが私は楽しめました。
亀も近くで見れたし魚も手元の餌に寄ってきてくれました。
写真だけ40ドル、動画だけ40ドル、両方なら60ドルです。
記念に両方購入しました。
Truly excellent. He was extremely informative and I have a deep passion for astronomy. He continuously piqued my interests. He’s very knowledgeable and knows how to run the show well and keep everyone engaged.
Mahalo. Keep reaching for the stars!!
As always, the pickup was on time. We went to several hotels before reaching the airport, but one reservation was a no-show, and the driver went inside the hotel multiple times to check. In the end, we waited for about 15 minutes before heading to the next hotel. Thank you for your hard work, driver.
いつもながら時間通りのお迎え。
空港までにいくつかのホテルを回りますが、1か所予約した方が全く現れず、運転手の方が何度もホテルの中まで確認に行ってました。
結局15分ほど待って次のホテルに向かいました。
運転手さん、お疲れさまでした。
I usually watch the Polynesian show, but this time I chose the show at the Royal Hawaiian Center. I really enjoyed it.
いつもはポリネシアンショーを見てたのですが今回はロイヤル ハワイアンセンターのショーにしました
なかなか楽しめました
Thank you very much for visiting us this time. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you again when you come to Hawaii.
この度はご来場頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。またハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けますよう、スタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げます。
It's a tour that lasts about 2 hours in total. We went as a couple, but ended up with another person who joined us, so there were three of us taking off together. The drivers were two cheerful individuals, and they were entertaining throughout. It was also fun to be splashed with water multiple times. If you have a GoPro that's waterproof, you'll be fine.
全部で2時間くらいのツアーです。カップルで行ったのですが1人別で来ていた方と同じになり3人で飛び立ちました。運転手は愉快な2人で終始面白かったです。何回も水に落とされるのも面白かったです。ゴープロは防水仕様なら大丈夫です。
We went in late February. Since we went as a family, we all wore matching aloha shirts, and the women wore aloha dresses. However, everything from meals to shows was outdoors, so even in Hawaii, it was cold in February. We needed jackets, like hoodies or jumpers.
But from the moment we got on the bus, we practiced clapping and learned about the origins of the words, which made the trip enjoyable. Of course, everything was in English, but the guide worked hard to speak in Japanese and used gestures, so even if we didn't understand much English, we were able to have fun!
私達は2月の下旬に行きました。
家族で行ったので、全員でアロハシャツを揃えて、女性はアロハのワンピースで行きました。が、食事からショーからすべて外だったので、いくらハワイでも2月は寒かったです。上着、普通にパーカーやジャンパーが必要なぐらいでした。
でも行く時からバスの中で手拍子の練習や、言葉の由来などを教えてくれて、楽しみながら行けました。
もちろん全部英語でしたが、ガイドさんが頑張って日本語で話してくれたり、身振り手振りを入れてくれるので、あまり英語が分からなくても楽しめました!
It was the most fun activity I've experienced in Hawaii so far! (Personally) There was one staff member who spoke Japanese and was very friendly. The rest of the staff primarily spoke English, and all explanations were in English, but they communicated well with gestures, so it was not a problem at all! There were lockers and transportation available, which was great! There is a set pickup time, but there was a slight delay (typical overseas timing), but they do come to pick you up, so it's all good! If you're worried, it might be a good idea to call.
今までハワイで経験したアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです!(個人的に)
日本語を話してくれるスタッフさんは1人いてくれてとてもフレンドリーな方でした^_^それ以外の方は基本英語だけで、説明等も全て英語ですがジェスチャー等で教えてくれたりと全く問題ないです!ロッカーや送迎もあり良かったです!お迎え時間は設定されていますが多少遅れもありました(海外タイムですね)けどちゃんと迎えに来てくれるので大丈夫です!心配だったら電話すると良いかもです^_^
It was a bit cold, but I had a great time! I was satisfied that I could do stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling. I would like to participate again when I go to Hawaii.
少し寒かったですがとても楽しかったです!サップやシュノーケリングもでき満足です。またハワイに行った際には参加したいです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for joining us this time. And thank you for your repeat visit!! We are honored. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit.

I participated in early February. Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales and just ended up cruising. I was really hoping to see whales, so it was disappointing. They did issue a free boarding ticket for the next time, but it only covers the boarding, and you have to pay for the trip to the location yourself. Due to scheduling conflicts, I had to give up on it. I think those who are planning to participate should consider their schedule in case they don't see any whales.
2月上旬に参加しました。クジラは見れずただクルーズして終わりました。
クジラを見たい!との思いで参加したので残念でした。
一応、次回乗船無料券の発行がありましたが、これ乗船のみで、現地迄は自腹との事。スケジュールの都合もあるので断念しました。
これから参加の方は見れない時の為の考慮して日程を組んだ方が良いと思います。
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are very sorry that you were unable to enjoy whale watching this time. Please do come again. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you back.

I read in the reviews that it could be far away or hard to see, so I planned the next day as a backup just in case I couldn't see anything. At first, the blowhole was far away, and I couldn't really understand what I was supposed to be looking at, but while I was eating, I saw a whale very close by. When I hurried outside, a mother and calf showed themselves to us. On the way back, I also saw a turtle, which was very lucky. I chose not to use the shuttle service and got off at Kakaako on the high bus and walked, but the breeze felt nice, and I was able to make good use of my time, so it was great.
口コミに遠かったり見られない事も多いと書いてあったので、見られなかった時の為に次の日を予備日として、計画をたてました。
はじめは潮吹きも遠く、言われたところを見てもよくわからなかったのですが、ご飯を食べていたら、すぐ近くにくじらが見えて、急いで外へ出たら親子で姿を見せてくれました。帰りにはカメも見られて、とてもラッキーでした。
送迎なしを選んで、ハイバスのカカアコで降りて歩いていきましたが、風が気持ち良くて時間も有効利用出来たので良かったです。
Aloha! Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you had a great time, and we enjoyed exploring with you. Please join us for another adventure soon. Mahalo!
アロハ!レビューありがとうございます。私たちはあなたが楽しい時間を過ごしてくれてうれしいです、私たちはあなたと一緒に探索を楽しみました。すぐに別の冒険に参加してください。マハロ!
It was a bus pickup at Hilton Grand Vacations. The woman who confirmed the reservation didn't understand any Japanese at all. We managed to grasp the meaning through some words, but those who only understand Japanese seemed confused. For tours with many Japanese reservations, it might be reassuring to have someone who can speak even a little.
Since the pickup time for the tour was a bit late, by the time we arrived at the boarding area, all the spots with a good view outside were taken. However, since it was a bit cold this season, we took seats indoors on the second floor and had lunch before going outside to take a look.
They also make announcements in English when a whale approaches, so you can stick to the glass window and watch (laughs). This time, it was a smaller whale, so we couldn't see it clearly, but we were able to see it nonetheless.
ヒルトングランドバケーションのバス駐車場ピックアップでした。
予約確認の女性は、全く日本語わかりません。
私たちは、単語などでなんとなく意味わかりましたが日本語しかわからない方は、戸惑ってました。日本人の予約が多いツアーは、少しでいいから話せる方だと安心できるかもと思いました。
ツアーの方は、迎えの時間が遅めのため
乗り場に着いた時は、外の眺めのよさそうなとこは全部埋まってました。
でも、この季節は、寒めなので二階の室内で席を取って昼食も食べてから
外に出て見に行っても大丈夫です。
ホエールが近づいたら放送もしてくれるので(英語)
ガラス窓にピタッてくっついて見ても見れます(笑)
今回は、小さめなのではっきり見えませんでしてが一応見ることできました
Thank you for the review! We are very happy to hear that you had a wonderful time with us. We hope to have the opportunity to adventure with you again soon! Until next time!
レビューのマハロ!あなたは私たちと素晴らしい時間を過ごしたと聞いてとてもうれしいです。すぐにあなたと一緒に冒険する機会があることを願っています!ホイホウ(次回まで)!
We went ziplining as a family! My parents had a great time too, and it felt amazing to glide through nature! The instructor took a lot of photos, which made for wonderful memories!
家族でジップラインに行きました!
両親もすごく楽しんでいて、自然の中を通っていくのがすごく気持ちよかったです!
インストラクターの方が写真もたくさん撮ってくれて良い思い出になりました♪
I participated with my 4-year-old and 6-year-old children. I was hoping to see various fish and, if lucky, a sea turtle. On the day of the event, while on the boat heading to Atlantis, we were able to see wild dolphins on the way there and a whale on the way back (the whale was quite far away, but the dolphins were very close).
There was an explanation in Japanese, and we were not too far from Waikiki Beach, where we saw many fish and, finally, the sea turtle. We even spotted a small shark, which made the kids enjoy the experience throughout. The boat was comfortable, but the air conditioning was a bit chilly, so having a light jacket might be a good idea.
4歳、6歳の子供達と参加しました。色々なお魚や運良くウミガメが見れたら嬉しいなぁと思っていましたが、いざ当日参加したらアトランティスに向かう迄の船内で行きに野生のイルカと帰りに鯨を見る事が出来ました。(鯨はだいぶ離れた距離.イルカはかなり至近距離でした)
日本語での説明もありワイキキビーチからそんなに離れていない海底で沢山の魚そして念願のウミガメ、小さいサイズでしたがサメも見る事が出来子供達は終始楽しんでいました。
船内も快適でしたが、やはり海外エアコン?空調?が少し肌寒かったので羽織りがあると良いかもです。
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that you and your children enjoyed your submarine adventure with us! Diving in a real submarine and seeing marine life up close is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we are glad you were able to see such incredible marine creatures! We hope to welcome you and your family again soon. Thank you!
あなたの素晴らしいレビューのためのマハロ!私たちはあなたとあなたの子供が私たちと一緒にあなたの潜水艦の冒険を楽しんだのを聞いてとてもうれしいです!実際の潜水艦でダイビングしながら海洋生物を間近で見るのは、実に一生に一度の経験であることが多く、信じられないほどの海洋生物を見ることができたことを嬉しく思います!私たちはあなたとあなたの家族をすぐに再び歓迎することを望みます。マハロ!
When I inquired during the application process, I was told there would be no Japanese staff on-site, which made me anxious. However, there were Japanese versions of the consent forms available. The driver for the transfer was kind, and although the local staff explained things in English, I managed to get by (laughs). I thought I could just mimic the other participants for how to ride, and I ended up skiing last every time. It became a wonderful memory.
申し込み時に聞いた際、現地には日本語スタッフがいない。。との事で 不安でしたが、同意書等は日本語版の用意がありました。送迎のドライバーさんも優しい方でしたし、現地スタッフの説明は英語でしたが、なんとかなりました(笑)乗り方等は他の参加者の真似をすれば良いと思い、毎回最後に滑りました。良い思い出になりました。
Fantastic cruise!!!
Friendly crew
Good music
Great Cocktails
Fun couple of hours. Good time was had by all and would love to do it again.
Great experience off of the coast of Waikiki. Our crew did a great job of keeping our drinks full the whole cruise. Beautiful views of the coastline and the sunset. Great price for the experience. Would definitely recommend!
I took a deep breath, ducked under water and up into the globe of my personal submarine. There was a small chain link bag of fish food that I was instructed to shake, by hand motions, from the diver that stayed near and guided me around. The fish swarmed around me, bumping my fingers as they eagerly gobbled the food. It was surreal. The trip began with A few of us boarding a large motorized rubber raft that took us to a sandbar. The guide had a dog that was very enthusiastic. At one point it jumped into the water and swam behind the boat, which continued on leaving the dog way behind. At one point it was so far behind it was hard to see it. A real swimmer. We jumped into the water and were instructed how to use the Seabob. It pulled us around the water, which was too shallow to really get the feel of the machine. Low tide was not a good time to do this. It was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it.
A very fun time. A chance to get out in the water and a good price! Great crew that was extremely attentive to each guest. I’d do this again and recommend it!
Since I went to Hawaii in February, I decided to go whale watching, which is something you can only do during this time of year.
I read many reviews saying that people didn't see any whales, so I boarded the boat with a mindset of "Well, it would be nice to see a whale if we do." However, my skeptical expectations were wonderfully betrayed, and I was able to encounter a mother and calf whale multiple times!! Their synchronized swimming was truly moving, and I absolutely recommend it! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience!
It was a valuable tour. Thank you!
ちょうど2月にハワイに行ったので、この時期しか見ることの出来ないホエールウォッチングに行く事にしました。
クジラに会えなかったという口コミもたくさん読みましたので、「まぁクジラが見れたらいいか」みたいな気持ちで船に乗り込みましたが…。
私の半信半疑の期待は見事に裏切られ、何度もクジラの親子に遭遇する事ができました!!
並んで泳ぐ姿は心から感動しましたし、絶対オススメします!
本当に素晴らしい経験をありがとうございました!
価値のあったツアーでした。ありがとうございました!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise.

Seeing wild whales is truly moving, isn't it?
Please come back to see these whales again.
All of our staff are looking forward to your visit.

I was wondering if I wouldn't be able to see it until halfway through, but I was able to watch it towards the end. I'm glad I could see it because they searched for it until the very last minute. I can hardly speak any English, but the staff were kind, and I had a great time.
途中まで見れないかな?と思ったのですが、最後の方に見ることができました。時間ギリギリまで、探してくれたため、見ることができてよかったです。英語がほとんど話せないのですが、スタッフは優しく、楽しめました。
At first, I was nervous and scared, but it wasn't frightening at all, and it felt great. I definitely want others to experience it. I would like to do it again.
最初は緊張してびびってましたが、怖くもなく、気持ちよかったです。是非体験して欲しいです。またやりたいと思います。
We participated as a family. It was our first day at Waikiki Beach, and we were amazed by the beauty of the ocean with the kids. On top of that, we were thrilled to see sea turtles swimming right nearby.
There was an option to take a photo with Diamond Head in the background, which I thought would make a great memory, so I decided to purchase it.
We traveled by boat for about 10 minutes to get to the submarine, and during that time, we were able to see a whale in the distance. The guide spoke in Japanese and entertained us with jokes. Inside the submarine, we were satisfied with the experience as we could see corals, fish, and sea turtles up close.
However, I experienced more motion sickness than I expected. They provide etiquette bags, but I recommend that those who are sensitive take medication beforehand.
家族で参加しました。
ワイキキビーチに初めて行った日だったので、海のキレイさに子どもたちと感動しました。その上、海辺ではウミガメがすぐそこを泳いでいて大興奮でした。
ダイヤモンドヘッドをバックに写真を撮るという観光地特有のオプションがついていましたが、思い出になると思い購入しました。
潜水艦に乗るまで10分ほど船で移動するのですが、その際にクジラの姿も遠くに見ることができました。
ガイドは日本語で、時にジョークもあり楽しませてくれます。潜水艦では、サンゴや魚、ウミガメも間近に見ることができ満足な体験でした。
ただ、思った以上に乗り物酔いします。エチケット袋は用意されていますが、弱い人はお薬を飲んで行くことをおすすめします。
Aloha! Thank you for sharing your review. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed over 100 feet of underwater experience! We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Mahalo!

I participated on my honeymoon. It rained along the way, which brought my mood down, but while my husband and I were doing SUP, a sea turtle came close to us, and we were able to see it up close! Although we couldn't go snorkeling, being able to see the sea turtle and the friendly staff on the boat who talked to us a lot made it a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!
ハネムーンで参加しました。途中雨も降り、テンションが下がってましたが、旦那とSUPをしていたらウミガメが近寄ってきてくれて、間近で見ることができました!シュノーケリングはできなかったですが、ウミガメを見れたことや船の上で担当の人がフレンドリーにたくさん話しかけてくださり、最高の思い出となりました。ありがとうございました!

The participants were multinational. The crew spoke English, but there was no language barrier. They did a great job of keeping the atmosphere lively. There was a wide variety of drinks, and the sunset over Waikiki from the sea was amazing. I would love to go again. However, when you drink, you will need to go to the restroom... Be sure to take care of that before boarding. It seems there is a restroom in the bottom of the boat in case of emergencies. Just let the crew know.
参加者は多国籍でしたね。クルーは英語ですが言葉の壁は有りません。上手に盛り上げてくれます。お酒の種類も豊富で海から見るワイキキの夕暮れもサイコー。また、乗りたいと思いました。
ただ、飲めばトイレに行きたくなるもの…。乗船前には必ず済ませて下さい。緊急時には船底にトイレが有るようです。クルーに声がけを。
I couldn't see the sunset, but I was able to see whales and a full moon. The hospitality of the staff was also wonderful, and it became a great memory.
夕陽は見れなかったけど、クジラや満月が見れました。スタッフの皆さんのホスピタリティも大変すばらしく、良い思い出になりました。
