サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでプライベート時間を満喫<6名まで/英語クルー>

Abundant activities 豊富なアクティビティ

Reviewed by: こゆり

We were able to fully enjoy the ocean activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding at our leisure. During snorkeling with the guide, we had a relaxed and private time, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times. My grandmother didn't go into the water, but she was happy to relax on the boat. Our whole family was very satisfied, and choosing a private cruise was definitely the right decision.

シュノーケル、カヌー、SUPなど自由に使用でき海の遊びを満喫できました。ガイドさんとのシュノーケルでは、ゆったりとプライベートな時間を過ごせ、ウミガメに何度も出会えました。祖母は海に入りませんでしたが、ボートでリラックスして過ごせて喜んでいました。家族みんな大満足で、貸切クルーズを選んで正解でした。

Thank you guys for the amazing time! Would highly recommend this trip. We did see whales, beautiful views of paradise, some crap traps, and the site for the open shark dive. We loved the crew so much, we have now signed up for the shark dive! We can’t wait! The crew were fantastic, captain and skipper both knew and shared a ton of great information about the island. They took their time and were not in a rush. The sunset was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better trip!

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでのプライベート時間<6名まで/日本語クルー>

It was enjoyable for ages 2 to 87! 2歳から87歳まで楽しめました!

Reviewed by: 東北の親父

We participated in a tour with six people, including a 2-year-old child and an 87-year-old grandmother. The guide, who spoke Japanese, and the captain were friendly, and since it was a private tour, they let us decide on the timing for snorkeling and paddleboarding based on our pace. Unfortunately, it was after a full moon, and the tide was high, but the adults could enjoy the water at waist height while the child had fun with a float and life jacket.

The 87-year-old grandmother found the sea water cold, so I requested a wetsuit the day before, and they had it ready for her on the day of the tour, which was a great help! They also prepared floats and paddleboards for us, allowing us to play longer than we would have on a shared boat. We took many photos, and they taught us paddleboarding carefully, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

For snorkeling, the captain pulled the child on a boat, and the guide supported those who couldn't swim, so everyone had fun. We saw many sea turtles and fish, which was amazing. The snorkeling was kept short for the child and grandmother, allowing us to enjoy the sea longer, which is a unique advantage of a private tour.

After coming out of the water, it was cold, but they provided warm tea, and for the children who wanted to keep playing, they pulled them on the back of the boat, making it a perfect tour for families with small children and elderly members. They also prepared plenty of snacks and juice, and the child was thrilled with the apples.

The tour flew by, and we chatted a lot with the guide, creating wonderful memories for the whole family. The spam rice balls were also fantastic. The weather and tide are unpredictable, but it was a wonderful tour overall!

I recommend bringing a light jacket because the bus air conditioning is strong, and since it gets cold after being in the sea, it's a good idea to change clothes in the restroom before getting on the bus.

2歳の子供と87歳のおばあちゃんをつれて6人でツアーに参加しました。
日本語の話せるガイドさんとキャプテンもフレンドリーで貸し切りツアーということでこちらのペースに合わせてシュノーケルとsupなどで遊ぶ時間を相談して決めさせてくれました。
あいにく満月の後で潮が満ちていましたが大人は腰ぐらいの高さで子供は浮き輪とライフジャケットで楽しめました。
87歳のおばあちゃんは海の水が冷たかったので前日にウェットスーツのリクエストを送ったところ当日用意してくださり助かりました!
浮き輪やsupも私達用に用意してもらえて乗合いボートよりも長く遊ぶことができました!
写真もたくさん撮ってもらえてsupも丁寧に教えてもらえたので本当に楽しかったです。
またシュノーケルは子供はボートに乗せてキャプテンが引っ張っていってくれ、泳げない人はガイドさんがサポートしてくれて全員で楽しめてウミガメもたくさん見れて魚も見れたので感動でした。
子どもやおばあちゃんのペースでシュノーケルは短めにしてもらえて長く海で遊べたのも貸し切りツアーならではでした。
海から上がったら寒かったのですが温かいお茶を用意してもらえたり、まだ遊びたい子どもはボートの後ろに乗せて引っ張ってくれたりといたせり尽せりで小さな子ども連れ、高齢者連れには本当におすすめのツアーでした。スナックもジュースもたくさん用意してもらえて子どもはりんごに大喜びでした。
あっという間のツアーでガイドさんともたくさんおしゃべりして家族みんなの素敵な思い出になりました。
スパムおにぎりも最高でした。
天気と潮の満ち引きは運なのでどうすることもできませんがそれを含めて素敵なツアーでした!

バスの冷房が強いので羽織を持ってくことと、帰りは海で冷えて寒いのでバスに乗る前にトイレ等で服を着替えて乗ることをお勧めします!

We got the private boat and did the sandbar tour & I can’t recommend this enough! We played at the sandbar, toured the waters and got to see turtles & manta rays!

Reviewed by: REI

We encountered various fish and a large sea turtle. My mother, who is in her 90s, also challenged herself to snorkel. The guide pulled her along with a float, so she could comfortably enjoy the underwater view, and she was very happy. Perhaps because it wasn't an early morning plan, the water was a bit murky, but it was great to enjoy ourselves without any worries on a comfortable lounge boat, just our family.

いろいろなおさかなや、大きなウミガメに遭えました。
90代の母もシュノーケルにチャレンジ、ガイドさんが浮き輪を引っ張ってくださったので、安心して海の中を眺めることができ、母も喜んでいました。

It was the best! 最っ高でした!

Reviewed by: oluolu

I used a private cruiser.

Captain Masaki was friendly, kind to the children, and very reliable.

I had checked the tide chart in advance, but since it was negative (I thought, maybe the sandbar would be out if we were lucky?), I didn't have high expectations. However, the sandbar appeared beautifully, and everyone was thrilled! It was cold, so I hesitated to get in the water at first, but the captain helped by saying, "I have wetsuits!" which was a great relief. We enjoyed paddleboarding and playing with water guns...

After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, and when the captain said, "Look, there are sea turtles down here," I looked where he pointed and saw a sea turtle. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The children got to ride on a Zayak, which has a transparent bottom for observing underwater, and the captain pulled them along, so our whole family was able to observe the ocean and see the sea turtles, spending a wonderful time together.

It seems not only the adults but also the children had a great time, as they said, "I want to go to the heavenly sea again!"

Thank you for the wonderful time.

I also enjoyed chatting with driver Tim.

プライベートクルーザーを利用させて頂きました。

キャプテンのMASAKIさんも気さくで子供にも優しくて頼もしい方でした。

潮位表を事前に見ていましたが、マイナスになっていたから(運が良ければサンドバーが出てるかも?)とそれほど期待せずに行きましたが、しっかりとサンドバーが現れており、皆大喜び!
寒かったので初めは水に入るのを躊躇していたらキャプテンが「ウエットスーツあるよー」と貸してくれたからかなり助かりました。supしたり水鉄砲で遊んだり…
ひとしきり遊んだ後にシュノーケルをしましたが「ここ、ウミガメいるよー下ー」ってキャプテンの言う先を見るとウミガメがいて、たくさんのウミガメを見ることが出来て感動しました。
子供はZAYAKというソリの底面が透明になっていて水の中が観察できるものに乗せてもらってキャプテンがずっと引っ張ってくれたので、家族全員でそれぞれが海の中を観察してウミガメを見られて素晴らしい時間を過ごせました。
大人だけでなく、子供もすごく楽しかったみたいで「また天国の海に行きたーい!」と言っています。

As expected from a private tour, it seems they were able to keep the equipment for us at the beginning, allowing us to play to our heart's content. I thought there wouldn't be a return transfer, but it was great that they took us back to the hotel. The water level was about waist-high, which is natural and unavoidable, but I would love to go again.

Revisiting with my family who have never been here before. 未踏の家族を連れて再訪

Reviewed by: shofugue

I previously visited during the summer with my coworkers, but my family had never been. After overcoming the long COVID pandemic, I finally brought my family along. It felt like fate that this was the last AM private cruise of 2023, and I was able to greet Captain Bruce before departure. Everyone picked up on even the little things from our prior communications and past experiences, which naturally sparked conversations.

Sitting near the bow of the speedboat can get you very wet. If you have things that you don't want to get wet, make sure to take precautions before and after boarding. I think you'll be dressed for swimming afterward, so feel free to enjoy getting splashed!

Veteran Alan interacted with us at just the right distance, ensuring that we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves as a family. However, we weren't neglected; he discreetly prepared wetsuits for my family when they looked a bit chilly and promptly responded to our small requests. During snorkeling, he helped my younger daughter, who struggles with swimming, by pulling her on a Zayak (a bodyboard with a viewing window), allowing her to enjoy the underwater scenery.

On that day, the current was a bit strong and sand was swirling, but my family was thrilled to encounter a honu resting on the reef. He even took my younger daughter to see another honu that was in shallower water.

Since this is an activity in nature, the weather and sea conditions are a surprise on the day, but we had a different experience compared to summer. Our family was very satisfied with our stay. Thank you!

Additionally, you can change from a shared shuttle to self-arrival at the location. This allows you to freely plan your schedule after the cruise, not just limited to the Waikiki area, so you can continue to enjoy the tranquil Windward side or venture up to the North Shore. For those considering renting a car, I think it's a good option. The yacht harbor parking is first-come, first-served (be careful of no-parking areas), so it's best to arrive with some extra time.

以前職場の人たちと夏季に来ましたが、家族は未踏だったでした。長いコロナ禍を乗り越え、ようやっと家族を連れて来られました。
2023年最後のAMプライベートクルーズだったのも何かの縁、キャプテンブルースさんにも出航前にご挨拶ができました。事前のやりとりや以前のお世話になった話など、ちょっとしたことでも皆さん拾ってくださり、自然と会話も弾みます。

スピードボートは舳先近くに座るととても濡れます。濡れると困るものは、乗船前後にあらかじめ対策しましょう。そのあと海に入る格好になって参加されると思いますので、せっかくなのであとは思う存分飛沫を浴びてください笑。

大ベテランのアランさんは程よい距離感で接してくださり、大体の時間は家族だけで自由気ままに過ごせるように計らってくださいました。とはいえ放置されているのではなく、少し肌寒そうにしていた家族にさり気なくウェットスーツを用意してくださり、こちらのちょっとしたリクエストにもすぐに対応してくださいました。
シュノーケリング時は泳ぎの苦手な次女をザヤック(のぞき窓付きボディボード)に載せて曳いていただき、次女も海中を眺めることができました。

この日は潮の流れが少し強く砂が舞ってましたが、家族も無事リーフにたたずむホヌと出会うことができ、喜んでいました。浅いところにいた別のホヌを見せに次女を連れて行っても下さいました。

自然の中でのアクティビティなので天気、海の様子は当日のお楽しみですが、夏季とはまた違った体験ができました。家族一同が大満足の滞在になりました。ありがとうございました!


なお、乗合送迎から自力での現地集合に変更もできます。クルーズ後の予定をワイキキエリアに限らず自由に立てられるので、のどかなウインドワードを引き続き満喫したり、ノースに足を伸ばしたりできますね。レンタカー派の方はご検討されるとよいと思います。
ヨットハーバーの駐車場は早い者勝ち(駐車禁止エリアもあるので注意)のため、ある程度余裕をもってのご到着がベストです。

There was no sandbar, but サンドバーは無かったけど

Reviewed by: Tommy

It wasn't low tide, so the water level was about waist-high. I think it's a matter of luck when participating. I personally enjoyed the waist-high water more than the knee-high water. I recommend checking the low and high tide times in advance when making a reservation, but you can enjoy the beautiful sea regardless.

Also, since it was a lounge boat plan, we were able to use one SUP in a private setting, which was comfortable. It was a bit cold on the boat due to the strong wind, but they provided windbreakers with hoods for everyone, which was helpful.

I declined snorkeling due to the cold, but the captain was flexible and asked if we should drift a bit or stay here.

引き潮ではなかったため、腰高程度の潮でした。
これは参加時の運だと思います。
私は膝下の潮高より腰高の方が結果的に楽しかったです。
参加日の干潮、満潮を事前に把握した上での予約をお勧めしますが
どちらでも海は綺麗ですから楽しめますね。

また、ラウンジボート利用プランのためSUPを1台
貸切状態で利用できて快適でした。
風が強かったためボートの上の方が寒かったですが
フード付きウィンドウブレーカーを人数分用意してくれていて
助かりました。

シュノーケリングは寒さのため辞退したのですが
キャプテンは臨機応変に、少しボートを流す(走らせる)?
それとも ここに留まる? と聞いてくれました。

Reviewed by: ひでP

I had a wonderful time enjoying elegant sea activities on a luxury boat. Thanks to a lovely female captain from Osaka, my son was also able to enjoy kayaking and snorkeling, and we were both very satisfied. I would love to use their services again when we go to Hawaii.

ラグジュアリーボートに乗ってとても優雅な海のアクティビティを楽しめました。大阪出身の素敵な女性キャプテンのおかげで息子もカヤックやシュノーケリングを楽しめて大満足でした。またハワイへ行くときはお世話になりたいです。

It was a fun time! 楽しい時間でした!

Reviewed by: さーや

I encountered many sea turtles. The weather was nice, but the tide was a bit high (I participated with this understanding in advance), so it didn't go as smoothly as in the photos, but I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling in the clear sea. We were able to take a leisurely break on the boat, and there were drink services, which matched our pace nicely. Above all, the guides were kind and wonderful!

たくさんのウミガメに出会えました。
お天気は良かったのですが潮位が高めで(事前に理解の上で参加)写真のようにはいきませんでしたが、透明な海でサップ、シュノーケリングを楽しめました。
船でゆっくり休憩もできて飲み物などのサービスもあり私達のペースに寄り添っていただいたのがよかったです。何よりガイドの方々が親切で素敵でした!

The sandbar is very beautiful, and you can also meet sea turtles. You can enjoy both snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. We opted for a private boat rental plan, but before COVID, it included lunch, which is no longer the case now.

サンドバーはとても綺麗で、ウミガメにも会えます。シュノーケリングもSUPも楽しめます。ボート貸し切りプランにしましたが、コロナ前はランチ付きだったのが、今はありません。

Thank you very much for using Captain Bruce's private boat charter plan. We are truly grateful to hear that you referred to it as your "favorite tour."
Thank you for sharing your review.
The beauty of the scenery at Kaneohe Bay Sandbar and the relatively high chance of encountering sea turtles are some of the attractions of our tour. We are relieved to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding as well.
Regarding the meals, we have had to revise our offerings since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we currently provide snacks and spam musubi. We offer cold beverages such as juice, soda, and mineral water, as well as hot drinks like coffee, tea, and cocoa. Additionally, you are welcome to bring your preferred food and drinks, including canned alcohol, and you can use the cooler on board.

We will continue to improve our tours to ensure our customers are happy, so please come back again. We sincerely look forward to the day we meet again.

The best memories with my grandparents. 祖父母との最高の思い出

Reviewed by: かなみ

I was able to enjoy the tour with staff members and the captain who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. Both of them were supportive throughout, helping a lot to ensure that my grandmother and my 0-year-old son could have fun.

Thanks to their gentle guidance, my grandmother, who has a chronic illness that makes it difficult for her to move her arms and legs, was able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. She said this experience was her best memory. We also encountered many turtles!

In the end, I forgot to give a tip! I'm thinking of ways to somehow give it to them... that's the only regret I have. I'm sorry for not giving it (cry).

I would love to use your services again! Thank you so much for everything!

日本語が話せるスタッフさんとキャプテンとご一緒することができ、安心してツアーを満喫することができました。
お二人とも終始サポーティブで、おばあちゃんや0歳の息子が楽しめるよう、たくさん手伝っていただきました。
特に、持病から手足が動かしづらいおばあちゃんにも優しくガイドしていただいたお陰様で、おばあちゃんもシュノーケリングやサップなどを楽しむことができました。
おばあちゃんは、この体験が一番の思い出だと言っていました。
カメさんにもたくさん遭遇することができました!

最後、チップをお渡しするのを忘れてしまいました!!
どうにかお渡しする方法がないか考えています、、これだけが心残りです、、。お渡しせずにすみませんでした(泣)

また利用させていただきたいです!
この度は本当にありがとうございました!
