Oahu
It was my first time, and I was nervous, but I had the best time enjoying the wonderful scenery and the ocean while on the boat. I definitely want to try parasailing again. When I come to Hawaii next time, I will absolutely do it again.
初めてで、ドキドキしましたが、ボートに乗ってる時も素敵な景色と海を満喫出来て最高でした。
パラセイリングも、是非、又やりたいと思いました。
次回ハワイに来たときには、絶対又やります。
I always go every time I visit Hawaii. Usually, it's during the busy summer vacation period. This time, it was a weekday in October. I'm glad it was less crowded. However, because it was less crowded, the attractions only opened at staggered times, and many were closed, so I ended up having to wait in line anyway.
Also, at the bar counter, I usually can buy alcohol without any checks, but this time, they were serving alcohol at the food stalls too. Maybe it's due to their manual, but they asked to see my passport or ID... Who brings their passport just to go to the pool?! Japanese people don’t carry IDs!
ハワイに行く度に必ず行きます。いつもは夏休みの繁忙期。今回は10月の平日。空いてて良かった。がしかし、空いてるが為、アトラクションは時間差にしかオープンしなくて、クローズが多く、結局並ばなくてはいけなかった。
また、バーカウンターでは、いつもはノーチェックでお酒が買えるのに、食べ物売ってるところでお酒も出している。マニュアルのためなのか、パスポートかID見せろって言われて… プールに行くのに、パスポート持っていく人居る⁉️日本人は、IDなんて持ってないっつうの‼️
Depending on the time of day and the effects of high tide, the sandy beach may be visible. When we went, it was completely submerged, with seawater up to our waists.
時間帯によって、満潮等の影響で、砂浜が見えたりらしいです。
我々が行ったときは、全く見えなかった。腰ぐらいまで海水がありました。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. The scenery at Paradise of the Sea and the sandbar may vary depending on the weather, but we will continue to strive to ensure your satisfaction with snorkeling, activities, and meals regardless of natural conditions. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit.
アロハ!この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーへのご参加誠にありがとうございました。天国の海、サンドバーは天候等によってご覧いただける景色が異なることもございますが、自然条件に関わらずシュノーケリングやアクティビティ、そしてお食事などでツアーにご満足いただけますよう努力を重ねてまいります。またの機会にお越しいただけますことをスタッフ一同心よりお待ち申し上げております。
I had to go to Hilton Grand Waikikian, but ended up at Waikiki Grand Hotel. I want to say it was a good thing because I got to see the unfinished FINISH gate of the Honolulu Marathon, but I lost quite a bit of time.
ヒルトングランドワイキキアンに行かないといけないのにワイキキグランドホテルへ
おかげで作りかけのホノルルマラソンのFINISHゲートが見れたのでよかったことにしたいけど、かなり時間をロスしました。
I thought dinner was included, but it turned out to be just a show without dinner, so I couldn't eat. The reservation site is confusing. I wanted to immerse myself in a Hawaiian mood and see the fire dance, so I made a reservation, but it was just a brief appearance at the very end. The performances by Elvis and Michael were long, and I was starting to think I might not get to see the fire dance at all. The dance was erotic and wonderful, but it was too stimulating for families with children.
Anyway, I'm really disappointed. I would have rather spent my money on something else.
夕飯付きだと思ったら夕飯なしのショーだけのタイプで食べられませんでした。予約サイトがわかりにくいです。ハワイアンな気分に浸りたくてファイヤーダンスをみたいと思い予約しましたが、最後の最後で一瞬の登場。それまでのエルビスやマイケルが長くて、もしかしたらファイヤーダンスは見れないのかと思っていたくらい。ダンスもエロティックで、素晴らしいけど子連れには刺激が強過ぎた。
とにかくがっかり。これなら別のことにお金払った。
Thank you very much for attending. We appreciate your valuable feedback. We would like to work on improvements as a team moving forward. We sincerely apologize for any discomfort caused.
この度はご来場頂き、誠に有難うございます。貴重なご意見、有難うございます。今後の課題として、スタッフ全員で改善に取り組みたいと思います。気分を害してしまい、本当に申し訳ございませんでした。
Outstanding Crew- excellent service...beautiful venue...fun packed day
My husband, our 5-year-old child, and I signed up for the 120m parasailing. I thought our child might be scared since it was their first time, but they are good with roller coasters and enjoyed it without any fear, saying they want to do it again! The boat does sway quite a bit, so it might be tough for those who get seasick.
夫、私、5歳の子の3人で120mを申込みました。子どもはパラセーリングが初めてだったので、怖がるかと思いましたが、ジェットコースター等は得意な方なので、全く怖がらずにまた乗りたい!と楽しんでくれました。
船はかなり揺れるので、船酔いする方は厳しいかもしれません。
The guide was fun and friendly, and I thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the sky! The view of Diamond Head and the hotels from up high was exceptional.
ガイドの方も楽しく親切で、空の散歩を満喫しました!
高いところから見る、ダイヤモンドヘッドやホテル群は格別でした。
I have been around catamarans for 30 years and this boat and crew were fantastic!
Thank you so much!! We always appreciate it when a fellow boater enjoys the Makani experience! We look forward to having you aboard again! Happy Sailing! Aloha
This was the highlight of my trip! I loved it, so much fun and the view was amazing! Not for those without a strong stomach though or plenty of seasickness meds on board as the boat ride was a little rough. I think I was one of the only one’s who didn’t have a problem with it! Definitely worth trying especially since you can get hotel pick up and drop off as well as optional pictures which was nice.
This was an amazing experience and totally worth the ticket. I ended up upgrading to a guided tour which was nice in some ways because they helped me navigate the exhibits and get places but I wasn’t able to see everything I wanted to so maybe not for everyone. Overall a great experience though!
LOVED that there was time to go swimming off the boat
It is good to know you loved our boat.
We would like to see you again soon.
Welcome drink (juice or Mai Tai)
→ Buffet-style dinner
→ Enjoy the show
This is basically the flow of the evening.
The prices vary depending on the seats, but you could see the stage from any seat.
The show included hula dancing, singing, audience participation, and a grand finale with fire dancing—there was so much to enjoy!
It was the perfect show to enjoy a night in Hawaii.
After watching the show, you receive a discount voucher for the bar next door at the Hilton, so you can savor a drink while relishing the afterglow of the show... it was just fantastic!
ウェルカムドリンク(ジュースかマイタイ)
→ビュッフェ形式で夕食
→ショーを鑑賞
基本はこんな流れです。
席によって値段が違いますが、どの席からでもステージが見れました。
ショーはフラダンスあり、歌あり、お客さんを引っ張り出しての余興あり、ラストのファイアーダンスまで盛りだくさん!
ハワイの夜を楽しむには最高のショーでした。
ショーを鑑賞した後は、隣のヒルトンにあるバーの割引券がもらえるので、ショーの余韻を感じながら一杯・・・なんて最高なこともできたり。
The guide was cheerful and fun, and the hamburgers were delicious! The water level on the day was about waist-high, but playing beach volleyball was also enjoyable, and it was the best experience. We encountered many sea turtles as well.
I want to participate in this tour again!
ガイドさんが陽気で楽しく、ハンバーガーも美味しかった!当日の水位は腰くらいまでありましたが、ビーチバレーも楽しかったし最高でした。ウミガメにもたくさん出会えました。
また参加したいツアーです!
I made a reservation in Japan, so I was a bit anxious about whether everything would be okay, but it was early and I understood everything right away... everyone was very kind and it was great.
日本で、予約をしたので、大丈夫かと、不安も少しありましたが、時間も早く、すぐにわかりました…とても、親切で良かったです。
The school teacher was very kind and taught us well, and all the staff were nice, creating a great atmosphere!! My wife and I went together, and both of us were able to stand up; it was truly the best school! I would like to go again when I visit Hawaii!
スクールの先生は丁寧に教えてくださり、スタッフの方皆さんいい方でとても雰囲気が良かったです!!
妻と2人で行ったのですが、2人とも立つことが出来て本当最高なスクールでした!
またハワイに行った時には行きたいと思います!
The organizers, both men and women, were very kind, and the entire experience was satisfying. This was my fifth trip to Hawaii, but I discovered new things about Hawaii.
主催者側の方達も男性、女性共とても親切で終始満足できる内容でした。
ハワイ旅行は5回目ですが新しいハワイの発見でした。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. It was a pleasure to discover a new side of Hawaii! It makes you think, "Wow, there’s this kind of Hawaii too!" We 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。新しいハワイの発見!嬉しいです。こんなハワイもあるんだなーって思いますよね!!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。
It was disappointing because of the cloudy sky. If the weather had been nice, it would have been a point boost, but unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about that. Also, the air conditioning on the shuttle bus was too strong. I had read in reviews that there would be towels on the seats of the return bus, but there weren't any. I thought it might be necessary to announce that large bath towels are essential.
曇り空で残念でした。天気が良ければポイントアップだつたのですが残念。こればかりはどうしようもないですが。あと送迎バスの冷房が効き過ぎでした。帰りのバスの座席にタオルがひいてある、と口コミがあったのねすが、ありませんでした。大きなバスタオルは必須とアナウンスすべきかな、と思いました。
I wasn't sure where to meet, so I checked the location in advance. I wanted to see the fireworks, so I'm glad I made an early reservation. The waves I was worried about turned out to be fine, and I was just enchanted by the night view and the fireworks! If I were to see this happiness in a flashback at the end of my life, I would want to savor it once more! I ended up crying. Thank you for the delicious drinks. It can get a bit windy, so having a jacket would be good.
集合場所がわからなく、事前に場所を確認しました。花火を観たくていたので、早目の予約をして良かった。
心配だった波は大丈夫なくらいでした、とにかく夜景と花火にうっとり!人生の最後に走馬灯に見るならこの幸せをもう一度噛みしめたい!と泣いてしまいました。美味しいお酒ありがとうございます。少し風があったらするので、上着が有ると良い。
It seems that it rained in the morning, so unfortunately the sandbar was about waist-deep. However, I was able to see sea turtles clearly from the cruise, and snorkeling was also fun! There was a Japanese guide, which made me feel at ease.
朝に雨が降っていたみたいで残念ながらサンドバーは腰あたりの深さでした。
でもクルーズからしっかりウミガメ見ることができたしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです!!
ガイドさんも日本人の方もいて安心でした。
Good cruise, but will get on a larger cat next time
日本人のガイドのかたもいて、英語が苦手でも楽しく過ごせました。
サンドバーはとても美しく、バレーボールをみんなでやり、とても良い思い出ができました。
We had such a wonderful time and this was such a unique experience. It was actually very windy on the day we went so we got jostled around a lot but it did not affect how much fun we had. This is one of the coolest experiences we’ve ever had as a family. We would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!
We had 2 adults and an 8 year old. Everyone loved it - the snorkelling was brilliant .... loads of fish and the water was so clear.
It was great having the other activities available also. The staff on the boat were friendly and helpful too. Great experience.
There were only 7 of us on a bus built for 12. We were not rushed at the sites and the driver/tour guide paced our group appropriately. Driver was very smart and continually pointed out plants/trees and sites as we drove along. Those who were scheduled for helicopter lost out as the helicopter never took off.
You can have an amazing time even with small children! The sea was beautiful, truly a paradise. On the day of the tour, we met at the location specified by Veltra, which was accurately shown on Google Maps! It's no surprise that this tour is so popular. They also provide inflatable rings and stand-up paddleboards, which made it so much fun! If you want to take lots of photos, don't forget your waterproof gear. I wanted to capture some sea turtles, but unfortunately, all the footage I got was video... My daughter was super excited, shouting "Turtle, turtle!" so that was the best part!
Since we had our child with us, we didn't go snorkeling, but I hope to try snorkeling once my daughter learns how to swim.
The lunch on the boat, especially the malasadas, was really delicious!
小さな子連れでもめちゃくちゃ楽しめる!
そして、海が綺麗、まさに天国の海でした。
当日はレンタカーで現地集合(ベルトラから案内されていた集合先はGoogle マップで正確に出ました!)
こんなに人気なのも納得のツアーでした。
浮き輪やSUPも貸してもらえるし、楽しい楽しい!
写真をたくさん撮りたい方は防水グッズ忘れずに。
海亀も掲載したいのですが、撮ったのが全部動画だったため残念。。。
娘は「亀さん、亀さん」と大興奮で、楽しんでくれいたようなので何より!
子連れだったのでシュノーケルは行きませんでしたが、娘が泳げるようになったらシュノーケルしたいなー
船上のランチ、マラサダはとっても美味しかったですよ!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating this time. We are delighted to have been able to help you create memories with your beloved family. We hope that next time you can join us for snorkeling with your children! All of our staff 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。大切なご家族との思い出作りをお手伝いできたこと、嬉しく思います。次回は是非、お子様とシュノーケルに参加できるといいですね!!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。
Activities chosen centered around my 2.5-year-old daughter
In conclusion, it was an incredibly enjoyable experience!!!
We got to touch dolphins and feed them...
It was a unique experience that we usually can't have, and it seems my child had fun.
The adults who participated together also enjoyed it!
The instructor spoke a little Japanese, which I think made it easier to understand.
Since we booked for two families, it was a great deal to be able to split the photos after the activity, haha. On the other hand, I wanted to film some videos, but once you participate, that's not possible...
Next time, I strongly want to let my child join a longer plan. And for my child to enjoy that, English skills are absolutely necessary. This was a day where I vowed to encourage my child to study English, using this activity as motivation, haha.
2歳半の娘を中心に選んだアクティビティ
結論、非常に満喫の楽しい体験でした!!!
イルカに触ったり、餌をあげたり、、、
普段できない体験ができて、子供も楽しめたようです。
一緒に参加した大人も楽しかった!
インストラクターは少し日本語も話してくれて、わかりやすかったと思います。
1予約2家族で参加したので、参加後の写真を折半して購入できたのはお得でした 笑 逆に、動画を撮ってあげたいなぁ、と思ってたけど参加しちゃうとそれが叶わないのは仕方なし。。。
次回は子供だけでもっと長い時間のプランに参加させてあげたいと強く思いました。 そして、それを子供が楽しむためには英語力が絶対に必要。 このアクティビティを糧に英語勉強にも励んでもらえるように頑張ろうと誓った親父の1日でした 笑
I waited quite a while at the pier after getting off the bus. Most of the people were part of a Japanese group, and I was a bit anxious about whether I was waiting in the right place. The boat that had left earlier returned, and we waited for it to be cleaned. So, I think I waited for about an hour in total. The sandbar was beautiful, and the hamburger was amazing. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles while watching them, which was very moving. However, I still can't forget the moment when a sea turtle collided with the boat just as we were about to go snorkeling... The shock was significant given how moved I was. The snorkeling was enjoyable, even though the waves were high. There was no problem going in a swimsuit, but having a change of clothes would make the return bus ride more comfortable. There is storage under the seats on the boat. If I come again, I would like to participate on a nice weather day and check the tide as well.
バスから降りた船乗り場でかなり待ちました。日本人団体がほとんどでしたが、ここで待っているのがあっているのか不安になりながら待っていました。先に出ていた船が戻ってきて、清掃するのを待っていました。なので全部で1時間ほど待った気がします。サンドバーは綺麗でした。ハンバーガーも最高でした。海亀のウォッチングもたくさん見れました。とても感動しました。ただ、シュノーケリングに行くという時に海亀1匹と船が衝突をしたのが今でも忘れられません…。感動していた分心への衝撃が大きかったです。シュノーケリングは波が高かったですが楽しめました。水着でいって問題はなかったですが、着替えがある方が帰りのバスは落ち着くと思います。船の座席の下に荷物入れはあります。また来ることがあれば、天候の良い日に、そして潮の満ち引きも確認して、参加したいです。
As soon as you exit the group area, there's a staff member in a yellow aloha shirt at the desk on the left, making it very easy to find. The departure was smooth and stress-free. You can leave your luggage at the lounge in Ala Moana and go shopping, so you can head straight to the hotel, have them hold your luggage, and return at check-in time without any hassle, making effective use of your time. However, I didn't know that the lounge doesn't have a changing area or restrooms, so I thought it would have been convenient if there was a simple space to change. I also received a shopping bag, which was handy for my shopping afterward.
団体出口から出てすぐ左のデスクで黄色のアロハシャツのスタッフがいるので、とても簡単に見つけられて良いです。出発もスムーズでノンストレスでした。アラモアナのラウンジで荷物を預けて買い物に行けるのでそのままホテルに直行してホテルに荷物を預かってもらってチェックインの時間に戻るという2度手間にならず、時間が有効活用出来ました。ただ、ラウンジには着替えスペースもトイレも無い事を知らなかったので、簡単な着替え出来そうなスペースがあったら便利だったのになぁと思いました。ショッピングバッグも頂けてその後の買い物に便利でした
I hadn't planned to stop by Ala Moana Shopping Center, so I skipped it, but now that I've chosen this plan, I wish I had gone.
アラモアナショッピングセンターへの立ち寄りは考えてなかったのでスルーしましたが、せっかくこのプランを選んだのだから寄ればよかったなぁと思いました。
