The weather was nice, and the wind was fairly strong, allowing us to enjoy stable sailing. We created great memories as a family of three. The promised Japan was also very pleasant. The boat ride to and from was quite rocky, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. There was an incident where a young woman from a Chinese group vomited on a white person sitting next to her. The boat stopped, and the victim jumped into the sea to wash off the mess.
天気もよく、風もそこそこ強く、安定したセイリングを楽しみました。家族3人で、いい想い出ができました。お約束のジャパンも気持ち良かったです。行き帰りの船はかなり揺れるので、酔い止め薬をおすすめします。中国陣グループの若い女性が、となりに座っていた白人にゲロをぶちまけるというハプニングがありました。船を止めて、被害者は海にとびこみ汚れを洗い流していました。

Seeing Hawaii from the sky was exceptional!
Before the experience, I was a bit scared, but once I actually flew, it was not scary at all. In fact, it was so pleasant that I wanted to keep flying forever. A girl who looked about five years old was also flying without any fear.
The boat sways quite a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, taking motion sickness medication is a must!
You can choose between the wet course and the dry course, but I definitely recommend the wet course.
There are no showers around, but the waters of Hawaii don't leave you feeling sticky or gross, so I was fine going shopping afterward without a shower.
The staff were very kind, and I had a great time. This is an activity I highly recommend.
空から見るハワイは格別でした!
体験前は少し怖かったのですが、実際に飛んでみると全く怖くなく、
むしろ心地よく、ずっと飛んでいたいくらいでした。
5歳くらい?の女の子もまったく怖がらずに飛んでいました。
ボートがかなり揺れるので、酔いやすい人は酔い止め必須です!
ビシャビシャコースとドライコースが選べますが、
ビシャビシャコースが断然お勧めです。
辺りにシャワーはありませんが、
ハワイの海はベタベタ気持ち悪くならず、
体験後にシャワーなしで買い物に行ったりしても(私は)平気でした。
スタッフの方がとても親切で、とても楽しく過ごせました。
とてもお勧めのアクティビティです。

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! Captain Jeff was helpful, fun & informative, the snacks were tasty and the boat was clean and in great condition. Do this tour!! You won’t regret it! It was the highlight of our trip and the best excursion I have ever done in Hawaii! My husband enjoyed it so much he wanted to do it again but we couldn’t book during the rest of our stay because they were sold out!.

This time, we chose the heavenly sea for the end of our trip. Since we wanted a private experience, we opted for the lounge port. It was pure bliss to enjoy such an amazing view with just our family, without worrying about other people. The captain was handsome, and it seems my daughters had a great time for a different reason. I definitely want to go for a private experience again next time.
今回は旅の最後に天国の海を選びました。どうせなら貸し切りと思い今回ラウンジポートを選びました。ゆっくり人を気にせずあんな最高の景色を家族だけで楽しめて幸せの絶頂でした。キャプテンがイケメンで娘達は興奮して違う意味で楽しかったみたいです。又次も貸し切りで行きたいと思います。

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。
早朝のプランではなかったためか、水が少し濁っていましたが、快適なラウンジボートで、家族だけで気兼ねなく楽しめたのが良かったです。

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.

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。
素敵な時間をありがとうございました。

Thank you very much for using the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour and private charter! I will pass on your warm compliments to Captain Masaki and Driver Tim.

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.

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。

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

後半は天気も良くなり、シュノーケリングも楽しめましたし、最高の体験をすることができました。
また利用したいと思います。

Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable, and it's not uncommon for it to suddenly rain even when it seems sunny during the tour. That's why our staff prays every day, "May the weather be nice!"
The Paradise Ocean offers different scenery depending on the month and the weather, so we would be delighted if you could join us again. Captain and crew are looking forward to seeing you!
Mahalo!

ハワイの天候は変わりやすく、ツアー中も晴れていたと思ったら突然雨が降り出すこともありますね。なので毎日スタッフ一同”天気になあれ~”とお祈りしております。
月によって、天気によって異なる風景を見せてくれる天国の海ですので、またぜひご参加いただけましたら幸いです。キャプテン&クルーもお待ちしております!
Mahalo!

Since we had a large group, mostly consisting of people in their 60s and above, we decided to rent a private boat. It was great to be able to do things at our own pace. The captain was cheerful and charming, which made the experience very enjoyable. Although some members of our group didn't understand any English, it was very helpful that they used simple words. Even though it was a private boat, there were other participants nearby, and having Japanese staff made us feel at ease. The spam onigiri that was provided as a snack was delicious.
大人数で、60代以上が多かったので思い切って貸切ボートにしました。色々とマイペースにできてよかったです。船長さんも明るく可愛いかたでとても楽しめました。英語は少しもわからないメンバーでしたが、簡単な単語を使ってくれてとても助かりました。貸切ボートといっても、アクティビティは他の参加者さんもちかくにいるので、日本人スタッフもいて安心できました。
スナックで置いてあったスパムおにぎりが美味しかったです。

It was so much fun to see wild sea turtles and fish up close! I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but the instructor was kind and taught me everything step by step, making it a very enjoyable memory!
野生のウミガメやお魚達を間近で見れたのがとても楽しかったです!
初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが、インストラクターの方が優しく1から丁寧に教えてくださったので、とても楽しい思い出になりました!
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your first snorkeling experience.

I participated in a group boat tour 10 years ago. It was such a great memory that I initially hoped to join a group boat again this time, but it was sold out a week before the tour. Since I really wanted to go, I reserved a private boat. Of course, it was more expensive, but it was worth it.
• Since it was a speedboat, we could get to the location faster than the group boat, and we were able to play for about an extra hour after the group boat had left.
• They prioritized letting us use the stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and other equipment, so we could play as much as we wanted. That feeling of being prioritized was incredible.
• A professional Japanese guide accompanied us, sharing information about the tour, Hawaii, and the pandemic. They played with us beforehand like a member of the family.
• They took care of arrangements for the restroom after landing and monitored our rental car.
Of course, the beauty of the sandbar was amazing, but I’m really glad I chose the private boat.
10年前に団体ボートで参加しました。良い思い出だったので、今回も団体ボートを最初は希望したのですが、ツアー開催の1週間前でSOLDOUT。どうしても行きたかったので貸切ボートを予約しました。もちろん費用は高かったですが、それ以上の価値はありました。
•高速ボートなので、団体ボートよりも早く現地に行けて、帰りも団体ボートが帰ったあとも遊べたので1時間くらいは追加で遊べた気がする。
•SAP、シュノーケル、遊具等優先して使わせてくれるので遊び放題。その優遇感はハンパない。
•日本人のプロのアテンドが付くので、このツアーのことはもちろん、ハワイのこと、パンデミックのこと教えてくれる。家族の一員みたいに事前に一緒に遊んでくれる。
•着岸後のトイレの手配とか、レンタカーの見守りとか、やってくれる。
もちろん、サンドバーの美しさは素晴らしかったですが、貸切ボートにして本当に良かったです。

We rented a private speedboat. First, my apologies for most likely misspelling your name, Kaikoa or Keoke? Again, my apologies but me, my hubby and his mom had the best experience and truly enjoyed the day just talking with you about Hawaii and seeing all the wonderful wildlife when snorkeling. We also wanted to say thank you for being so kind and hospitable and putting up with our 20 questions about Hawaii life and thank you so much for sharing! Sending good vibes and hope you and your family are prosperous and happy. A thousand times Mahalo!

Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!!
I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so attentive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end.
My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing.
10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.
On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your feedback and loving support! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.
A Hui Hou!

We experienced a sandbar tour with Captain Bruce on a private boat. The weather forecast predicted bad weather, but it only rained a little, and the sea was beautiful!!
The captain was friendly and cool, and we had a great time snorkeling and seeing sea turtles! They provided special gear for our child who can't swim, so the whole family enjoyed it together.
The drinks and spam were delicious! Since we went with three generations, it was great to have a private boat!
I was unsure about participating in the tour, but I'm really glad we did!

If you're looking to go parasailing near Honolulu, this is the place to choose. It's conveniently close to Ala Moana Center, and the height is amazing! You can fly with Diamond Head in the background! It's best to add the photo option! The staff is super friendly. If you ask for "Meni Water," it makes it even more fun!
Definitely!

Loved this trip! Kaneohe sandbar is one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Our captain was friendly and gave us a bit of history of the area on the boat ride to the sandbar. We loved the private option, just the Captain & 6 of us total. It was great to have our own space. We brought some floats and had a relaxing afternoon.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your experience with the Capt. Bruce tour.
We're very pleased to hear whole family had a great time on the turtle watching & snorkeling tour.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
