The water was cold, so we couldn't play for long, but we had a great time snorkeling and seeing lots of fish, as well as enjoying stand-up paddleboarding.
水が冷たくてのんびり長くあそべませんでしたが、シュノーケリングで沢山の魚を見たり、サップを楽しんだり楽しかったです。

On the day I arrived in Honolulu, the weather was bad and cold the next day, and I ended up catching a cold. I thought it would be impossible to go into the ocean in such cold weather, so I immediately contacted the tour company. However, they told me that since it was just three days prior, there would be a 100% cancellation fee. Reluctantly, I went anyway, but it was very cold, and I ended up just waiting inside the boat for my companions. Many other people also didn't go into the ocean because of the cold, so I really think this tour should be avoided depending on the season. No matter the reason, having a 100% cancellation fee three days before is quite harsh.
今回ホノルル到着日、翌日とお天気悪く寒くて風邪をひいてしまいました。
これでは寒い中海に入るのは無理と思い、直ぐにツアー会社に連絡をしましたが、丁度3日前でキャンセル料が100%かかると言われ、仕方なく無理して行きましたが、とても寒くやはり船の中で連れを待っているだけで終わってしまいました。
他にもたくさんの人が寒くて海には入っていなかったので、
このツアーは時期によってはやめた方がいいとつくづく思いました。
どんな理由でも、キャンセル料が3日前で100%と言うのもかなりきついです。
It’s better to avoid it depending on the season.
時期によってはやめた方がいい。
Aloha Julie,
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that you were unable to fully enjoy the tour due to the cold weather. We remember receiving your call when you expressed your concerns about the cold and wished to cancel. It was unfortunate that we had to inform you that cancellations due to weather conditions are difficult to accommodate, and we regret that we could not meet your expectations.
Our tours take place in natural environments, so we cannot completely control the changes in weather. We hope you understand that we apply our standard cancellation policy uniformly for management purposes. We will take your valuable feedback into account as we strive to improve our services in the future.
Thank you once again for your candid comments.

I participated with my 85-year-old mother and daughter, making it a three-generation family outing. The seawater at the sandbar was unexpectedly cold, and my mother decided to wait on the boat instead of going in. However, thanks to the very attentive staff's support, she was able to enter the water, and we had a wonderful experience riding on a SUP together.
Surrounded by magnificent scenery, we spent meaningful time in the crystal-clear sea, and I am very satisfied with the experience. It has become a great memory for us. There was also a live performance on the boat heading to the sandbar, and listening to music while enjoying the breathtaking views was the best feeling.
One issue I encountered was that I wished the meeting point had been indicated with a map in the email. The email stated that the meeting point was Kalakaua Avenue, but in reality, it was Paoakalani Avenue. When the bus didn’t arrive on time, I tried to check the email for confirmation, but I couldn’t access it without logging in. Since I was in a hurry, it took me a while to find my ID and password, which was quite troublesome. I managed to call and get assistance, so I was able to catch the bus, but I was a bit late and ended up inconveniencing those who were already on board.
85歳の母と娘と3世代家族で参加しました。サンドバーの海水が予想外に冷たく、母は海に入ることを諦め船で待っていましたが、とても親身なスタッフのサポートのおかげで海に入ることができ、娘とSUPに乗ったりと素晴らしい体験ができました。
壮大な景色に包まれ、透き通る海の中で有意義な時間を過ごすことができとても満足しています。とても良い思い出になりました。
サンドバーに向かうまでの船の中でもライブパフォーマンスがあり音楽を聴きながら絶景を見れ最高な気分でした。
一つ困ったことと言えば、待ち合わせ場所をメール内で地図等で示して欲しかったです。送られてきたメールには待ち合わせ場所はKalakaua Avenueと書かれていましたが、実際はパオアカラニ アベニューでした。時間になってもバスが来なかったので送られて来ていたメールで確認しようとしたら、ログインしないと確認できず、急いでいたのでIDやパスワードを調べるのに時間かかって大変困りました。電話をかけ対応していただけたので何とかバスに乗れましたが、少し遅れてしまい既にバスに乗車していた方々に迷惑をかけてしまいました。

We had such an amazing experience on our Kaneohe Sandbar tour. The crew from start to finish was friendly and comforting. They made us feel right at home. Loved being able to purchase snacks and drinks on board. The snorkel experience was so intimate and way different than any other that I’ve done in Hawaii. We got one on one tips and knowledge on the sea life we were witnessing. The sandwich was delicious.

Despite the declaration of a state of emergency and the bad weather, the event went ahead. I inquired via email the day before, and I was very grateful for the prompt response in Japanese.
Due to the rain and wind, and the low water temperature, we got out of the sea after an hour. After that, we enjoyed a pleasant time with live music. The staff were very polite, and we had a great time.
It was a pity that we couldn't see the color of the sea well under the blue sky, but they circled the bay on the way back, so we were able to fully appreciate the atmosphere. Although it was cold and windy, there were many fish in the water, and I was glad to have participated. Thank you very much! 😊
緊急事態宣言が出された中、悪天候でしたが催行されました。前日にメールで問い合わせさせていただきましたが、すぐに日本語でお返事をくださったので大変助かりました。
雨風の中、水温も低かったので1時間で海からあがりました。そのあとは生演奏の音楽の中、心地よく過ごしました。
スタッフの方はとても丁寧で楽しく過ごせました。
青空の下で海の色がよく見えなかったのが残念でしたが、引き上げるときに湾を周回して戻ってくれたので雰囲気は十分に感じ取れました。
雨風が強く肌寒かったですが、水の中はたくさんの魚がいて、参加できて良かったと思いました。

The Japanese staff were very accommodating and provided excellent service. Even though the rain and wind were strong, the boat did not sway much. I think it's a good idea to bring long-sleeved shirts

Weather was bad - cold and windy, not something controllable. (Although given such wind and low temperature , it might have been ethical for the tour to cancel itself.) But 1) the bus had all of the boat waiting after the trip for about 30 minutes, 2) there wasn’t a sufficient wind shelter for everyone, meaning old ppl and babies were exposed to cold wind. The lunch was also meh - bbq is an overstatement for hamburger patties and buns. Crew was friendly.
Save money and go to a nice beach.

There are staff members who speak Japanese, and they provided donuts, juice, and water, so it was no problem even if I missed breakfast.

The weather wasn't great, but the waves were calm, so we were able to enjoy various activities. Other activities, like interacting with turtles at the deep sea or the venue, can be quite challenging for children, but turtles also came to the sandbar, and the experience of seeing them up close in the shallow water was fantastic. I highly recommend it for families with kids. The staff who spoke Japanese (local people?) were very kind.

**[Positive Aspects]**
During the transfer, the driver kindly introduced us to recommended restaurants along the way. He was very friendly and left a good impression.
We were able to see sea turtles. We took photos from the boat and also saw them swimming nearby while snorkeling.
It was great to take commemorative photos while doing activities like stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
**[Negative Aspects]**
The time when you can see sandbars like those shown in guidebooks and on websites is quite limited. Although we were there during a relatively low tide, the sand was completely submerged, and the water level was above an adult's waist.
This is due to weather conditions, so there's not much that can be done, but on the day we participated, there were strong winds, and the current was quite fast. The SUP was being swept away, so it didn't feel like a leisurely activity, and we ended up exhausting ourselves.
Again, this is due to the weather, but because it had rained right before and there were strong winds during the activity, the sea didn't look very clear. (We didn't see many fish while snorkeling.)
Additionally, there were participants who were confused when they were told on-site that you cannot participate in snorkeling if you can't swim. I think it would be good to include this information in the participation guidelines.
**[Varies by Person]**
As mentioned by another reviewer, the Japanese-speaking staff used casual language throughout. While some may appreciate having someone who can communicate in Japanese during an activity abroad, others might find this somewhat rude. I think this depends on how individuals perceive the quality of service relative to the price paid.
Since the staff cannot judge how well someone can swim, I understand that self-assessment is necessary, but I think it would be helpful to have some criteria or steps to determine participation eligibility in shallow areas. Some people might feel like they were treated coldly or dismissed.
【良かった】
送迎の際にはドライバーの方が道中にあるおすすめレストランなど紹介してくれました。とても親切な方で好印象でした。
ウミガメを見ることができました。船上から写真を撮ることも、シュノーケリング中に近くを泳いでいるところを見ることもできました。
SUPなどしながら記念撮影できたのはよかったです。
【悪かった】
ガイドブックやサイトHPに掲載されている写真ようなサンドバーがみられる時期はかなり限られています。比較的干潮に近い時間帯でしたが砂は全く見えず、水位は大人の腰より上でした。
これは天候によるものなのでどうしようもないですが、自分たちが参加した日は強風で、潮の流れがかなり早かったです。SUPもどんどん流されてしまうので、優雅に遊ぶという感じではなく、体力を消耗しました。
これも天候によるので仕方ないですが、直前まで雨が降っていたことと、アクティビティの時間帯に強風が吹いていたため、海はあまりきれいに見えませんでした。(シュノーケリングはあまり魚を見つけられませんでした。)
また、平泳ぎができないとシュノーケリングには参加できない。ということを現場で伝えられて戸惑っている方がいました。参加時の注意事項に記載してもよいかと思いました。
【人による】
別の方も口コミで書かれていましたが、日本語スタッフの方は終始タメ口でした。
海外で参加するアクティビティにもかかわらず、日本語でコミュニケーションをとることが可能な方がいてくれるのでありがたい。ととらえる方もいると思いますし、応対がやや失礼に感じると思う方もいると思います。これは払った料金とサービスの質を各位がどうとらえるかによるかと思います。
どの程度泳げるのかはスタッフでは判断できないので自己判断というのは分からなくもないですが、目安となる基準や、浅瀬で参加可否を判断してもらうためのステップとかはあってもいいのではないかと思いました。人によっては冷たく突き放されたように感じてしまうかと思いました。

This was my third time participating, and depending on the timing and the people going, the condition of the sandbar varied, which made it enjoyable. I was able to see a lot of sea turtles 🐢. During our free time, I had fun doing stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The snacks, spam musubi, and drinks on the boat were plentiful. It was a tour that went by in the blink of an eye. The female staff were all lively and wonderful.
3度目の参加 行く人時期時間によりサンドバーの状態違い楽しめた
海亀🐢たくさん見れた
自由時間 SUPもできて楽しかった
船でのスパムむすび スナック 飲物充実 あっという間のツアーでした
スタッフ女性で皆さんイキイキ素敵でした
Check the weather. It might be better to avoid strong winds and rain.
天候確認 風きついや雨はやめた方がいいかも
Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Reef Tour for the third time. I'm truly happy that you were able to enjoy the different expressions of the sandbar on each visit, as the scenery changes from season to season and day to day. I look forward to the day we can meet again!

I’ve been on various snorkeling tour options before, but this one was quite disappointing for the price. There was no thorough explanation, just “do as you like.” The cold weather was unavoidable, but everyone felt cold on the boat. In the end, they managed to serve us tea, but it was too late; many were already shivering. I wish they would consider the situation a bit more at those moments.
今まで色々のシュノーケルのオプションツアー行ったけど結構値段の割には残念
好きなようにって全然丁寧な説明なしで
寒かったのは天候で仕方なかったけど船の中でみんな寒いって感じで最後なんとかお茶出してくれたけど遅い結構みんな震えてたもう少しその時その時考えてほしい
It might be a good idea to compare various tours before making a decision!
色々ツアーを比べて決めたほうがいいかなぁ!
Aloha Paniracchi,
Thank you for participating in the tour and for your valuable feedback.
We sincerely apologize for the cold conditions on the boat due to the weather, as well as the delay in providing tea. We take your comment about wanting us to be more considerate in the moment to heart, and we will work on improving the speed of our situational judgment and attention to detail. Additionally, we are very sorry for any anxiety caused by insufficient explanations. Moving forward, we will strive to provide more thorough and reassuring guidance that matches the price.
Thank you very much for your valuable input.
Mahalo,

この度はツアーへのご参加、ならびに貴重なフィードバックをいただきありがとうございます。
当日は天候の影響もあり、船上で大変寒い思いをさせてしまったこと、またお茶のご提供が遅くなりましたこと、深くお詫び申し上げます。お客様の「もう少しその時々で考えてほしい」というお言葉を真摯に受け止め、状況判断のスピードと配慮の細やかさを改善してまいります。
また、説明不足によりご不安な思いをさせてしまい、大変申し訳ございませんでした。今後は価格に見合う、より丁寧で安心感のあるガイダンスを心がけてまいります。
貴重なお声をいただき、誠にありがとうございました。
Mahalo、

I absolutely loved the Hawaiian singers on this tour. It was the highlight of my tour and my whole trip. Lived the Guava jelly song.
Aloha Guava jelly,

The staff was very kind, and they were friendly and funny, which made for a great experience. My 6-year-old child also participated and had a lot of fun. I would like to request their services again when I come next time.
とても親切な対応、優しくて面白いスタッフさん達でとても良い体験ができました。6歳の子供も参加して楽しんでました。また今度も来た時はお願いしたいです。
I think it would be a good idea to add the banana boat as an option. It looked like a lot of fun.
バナナボートをオプションで追加した方がいいと思います。とても楽しそうでした。

The couple enjoyed canoeing together, and even the wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling in the sea! The tour participants helped each other with getting on and off the canoe and stand-up paddleboarding, creating a lively atmosphere that transcended national borders.
夫婦でカヌーに乗ったり、泳げない妻もシュノーケリングで海を満喫!ツアー者同士でカヌーやサップの乗り降り等で助け合いながら、国を超えて大いに盛り上がりました。

I had made a reservation for two people, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I participated alone. I was nervous, but the captain and the staff were very kind, and I had a great time even by myself!
It was such a valuable experience to see sea turtles up close like that! There was also a staff member who provided Japanese interpretation, which made me feel very at ease! Everyone was kind, and it was a lot of fun!
2名で予約していましたが
急遽1名での、参加で緊張しましたが
キャプテンとスタッフさんが良くしていただか、一人でもとっても楽しめました!!
あんなにも、近くで海かめを見ることができるなんてとても貴重な経験ができました!
日本語通訳してくださるスタッフさんも、いてとても安心です!
みなさま優しくたのしかったです!
I didn't bring a GoPro or anything like that, so it's definitely necessary!
ゴープロなど持っていってなかったので絶対に、必要です!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. We are truly happy to hear that you had a wonderful time. Next time, please come along with those who couldn't join this time. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles.

We participated as a family. Since my family isn't very good at English, we were a bit anxious about going out to sea, but my fourth-grade son had a blast and we were able to create wonderful memories. There were staff members who spoke Japanese perfectly, which made us feel at ease. It has become a place we want to visit again. Thank you!
家族で参加しました
英語が得意ではない家族だったので、海に出る事が少し不安でしたが、
小学4年生の息子も思いっきり楽しめて、最高の思い出が作れました。
日本語バッチリのスタッフさんもいて安心できました。
また訪れたい場所になりました。
アリガト〜
