This tour is undoubtedly the best must-do experience, as the title suggests!
We have experienced various tours in different countries, but this was exceptionally wonderful.
First, I want to express my gratitude to Captain Robin. I can't thank him enough. I truly feel lucky to have been on his boat!
The weather on the day was a bit cloudy, which wasn't ideal, but there were so many amazing highlights.
- From the captain and the crew, we felt a warm response and consideration, always wanting the tour participants to have a great time.
- There was attentive support from a crew member who spoke Japanese, which provided a sense of security.
- During snorkeling time, I was terrified and couldn't swim in the deep sea where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but they always offered very kind encouragement and support (I think it's good to let them know in advance if you're not a strong swimmer).
- The experience of swimming up close with sea turtles will remain a lifelong memory.
- I'm not sure if there are restrictions on the number of boats, but it wasn't crowded with boats and people like typical tourist spots, allowing us to fully enjoy nature.
- Not only were there cute and sacred sea turtles, but there were also large and beautiful fish, creating a spectacular scene. Everyone was swimming very relaxed and at ease. We even saw an eel!
I could go on about the many points that made me extremely satisfied, but overall, it was just amazing! I gave a generous tip when disembarking to express my gratitude, but my appreciation for the crew, who provided such a fun and moving experience, has not faded. Even now, after returning home, I feel like sending an additional tip! (laughs)
Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride on Captain Robin's boat again! Thank you so much!!
タイトル通り、間違いなく最高の必須ツアーです!
私達はこれまでも様々な国でツアーを経験してきましたが、格別にに素晴らしい経験となりました。
まずお伝えしたいのは、キャプテンのRobinさんの素晴らしさ。彼には感謝してもしきれません。
Robinさんの船に乗ることができたのは、本当にラッキーだったと思います!
当日の天気は少し曇りで最高とはいきませんでしたが、以下のような素晴らしいポイントがたくさんありました。
・キャプテンをはじめクルーの皆さんからは、常にツアー参加者に心から楽しんでもらいたいという温かな対応や気遣いを感じられました
・日本語ができるクルーによる親身なフォローがあり、安心感があります。
・シュノーケリングタイムでは、足が全くつかない深い海では恐怖で泳げなくなってしまう私に、常に非常に優しい声がけとサポートをしてくれました(泳ぎが苦手な方は予め伝えておくと良いと思います)。
・ウミガメと間近で一緒に泳ぐことができた経験、一生思い出に残るものとなりました。
・船数の規制があるのかはわかりませんが、観光地でありがちの、あちこち船だらけ人だらけ、ということもなく、存分に自然を満喫することができます。
・可愛いく神聖なウミガメ達だけでなく、大きくてキレイな魚達もいて壮観です。みんな非常にリラックスしてゆったり泳いでいます。ウツボもみれました!
まだまだ大満足ポイントを挙げたいところですが、とにかく最高でした!
下船時に感謝の気持ちを込めて多めにチップを渡しましたが、終始楽しく感動的な経験をさせてくれたクルーの皆さんへの感謝の気持ちは未だ冷めやらずです。帰国後の今でも追加でチップを送金させてもらいたいレベルです!笑
今度ハワイに行く時も、必ずまたキャプテンのRobinさんの船に乗りにいきます!
本当にありがとうございました!!

There are explanations in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not good at English can feel at ease. The free bus shuttle service also adds to the value.
(The departure times may vary depending on the season) but the first departure is early in the morning, and the tour returns just before noon, allowing you to make effective use of your time! (You won't just end up with a one-day tour.)
On the boat, drinks, chips, rice balls, and warm coffee and tea are provided, so even if you get cold, you can warm up comfortably.
I think we snorkeled for about an hour, and I was able to see sea turtles around five times. Not only could we view them from the boat, but we also got to see them up close while snorkeling. There were multiple instructors to support us during snorkeling, so even those who can't swim can feel secure. Additionally, there was someone who got stung by a jellyfish during the tour, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the instructors coordinated and provided treatment.
英語、日本語の両方で説明があるので、英語が苦手な方でも安心。
無料のバス送迎があるのもお得感があります。
(時期にもより出発時間が異なりますが)1便の方は朝早く、ツアーが終わって戻ってくるのがお昼前なので、時間を有効に使えます!(1日ツアーで終わってしまう、ということはありません。)
船にはドリンク、チップス、スパむすび、あったかいコーヒーや紅茶も用意されているので体が冷えてもほっこり温まることができます。
シュノーケリングは約1時間くらいしたと思いますが、ウミガメが5回くらい見ることができました。
船の上から眺めるだけでなく、シュノーケリングで目の前で見ることができました。
インストラクターが複数名ついてシュノーケリングをフォローしてくれるので、泳げない方でも安心です。
また、ツアー時にクラゲに刺されてしまった方がいましたが、インストラクターの方の連携、処置が早く良い意味でびっくりしました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.
I am truly happy to hear that you encountered many sea turtles, which are believed to bring happiness.
The tour you participated in is limited to the summer season. As you recommended, being able to make good use of your time after the tour is a great point, but I also recommend the early morning time as the ocean conditions are often better then. Occasionally, manta rays may also appear.
We would be delighted if you could join us again the next time you come to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to that day. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。先日はツアーにご参加頂きましてありがとうございました。

今回ご参加頂いたツアーは夏季限定となっております。お勧め頂いたようにツアー終了後のお時間を有効活用できるのもお勧めポイントですが、早朝のお時間のほうが海のコンディションも良いことも多くお勧めです。まれにですがマンタも現れることも。
また次回ハワイにお越しの際もぜひ天国の海にお越しいただけると嬉しいです。その日を心よりお待ちしております。マハロ!

Participated in the PM session. Hotel pickup at 11:00.
I was hungry... feeling anxious...
Surprisingly, snacks and juice were free, and we got one spam onigiri each.
That was great!
Even though I've participated many times, I wish I had watched the tide come in and out.
The tide was close to high... I want to go during low tide next time.
I was able to walk with the turtles while paddleboarding and snorkeling.

First, to mention the positives, there were a lot of sea turtles during snorkeling, and I was able to take many photos and see them, so I was satisfied with that.
On the downside, I didn't think the sandbar was beautiful at all. The sandbar at Barasu Island in Okinawa (an island made of coral remains in the middle of the sea) was much more impressive. After all, the sea in Okinawa is much prettier.
Also, due to the weak yen, it felt very expensive for what it was...
まず、良かった点からいえば、シュノーケリング時にウミガメがたくさんいて、たくさん写真が撮れたり、見れたのでそこは満足。
がっかりだった点は、サンドバーが全然キレイとは思えなかった。沖縄のバラス島(サンゴの死骸でできた海の中心にある、サンドバーのような島)の方が何倍も感動した。やっぱり海は沖縄のほうがキレイ。
円安のせいもあり、すごーく高かったわりには、、、という感じ。

I participated with my son (4th grade) and daughter (1st grade). The weather forecast the day before predicted thunderstorms, and it was cloudy in the morning with rain during the bus ride, but it cleared up when we got on the boat, allowing us to enjoy the blue sky at the sandbar.
It was quite cold on the boat due to the wind, and since we went straight into the sea, the kids were pretty cold even though it was sunny. I think it's a good idea to bring extra bath towels and cover-ups.
There were areas where the beach was exposed, but they were far from where the boat was docked, so we didn't go there and instead took photos and did some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The water level was about up to an adult's calves. The kids quickly got the hang of SUP and had a lot of fun.
During snorkeling, they lent us a ZAYAK for my daughter, who can't swim, and she was thrilled to see fish and sea turtles. It seemed that the ZAYAK was only available for children.
I was surprised to see sea turtles up close, even more than I expected. I couldn't take good underwater photos with my smartphone in a waterproof case, so I want to prepare an underwater camera for next time.
We were also able to see many sea turtles from the boat on the way there and back. The staff who spoke Japanese were very friendly and made it enjoyable. I would like to participate in this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
息子(小4)と娘(小1)と一緒に参加しました。
前日の天気予報が雷雨で、朝も曇り、バス移動中も雨が降っていましたが、船に乗るときには晴れてきて、青空のサンドバーを満喫できました。
船上は風が当たるので結構寒く、そのまま海に入るので、晴れていても子供たちはかなり寒がっていました。バスタオルや羽織りものは多めに用意した方がいいと思います。
砂浜が出ている場所もありましたが、船の停泊箇所から離れていたのでそこまで行かずに写真を撮ったり、SUPしたりしました。大人のふくらはぎくらいの水位でした。初めてのSUPは子供達もすぐに立てて楽しめました。
シュノーケリングの際、泳げない娘のためにZAYAKを貸して頂けて、娘も魚やウミガメを見ることができて喜んでしました。ZAYAKの貸出は子供のみの様でした。
ウミガメを想像以上に間近で見ることができて驚きました。防水ケースにいれたスマホでは水中でうまく撮影できなかったので、次は水中カメラを用意して参加したいです。
行き帰りの船からもウミガメを沢山見ることができました。日本語を話せるスタッフの方がとても気さくで楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったときにはこのツアーに参加したいです。

I was expecting to be sailing since we were aboard a sailboat. I was very disappointed and expressed my interest to sail with the crew (the wind was awesome) they said we could sail back. I brought this up several times and got other passengers excited about it as well. The crew decided we didn't have enough time even though we waited at the snorkel spot long after everyone had come out of the water. We did not get to sail back. Additionally when we were snorkeling I saw a turtle covered in fishing line all tangled up... I pointed this out to the crew and they said "oh well we cant touch them" with complete apathy.
It was quite depressing and the apathetic unenthusiastic crew just made it worse. Seek another sailboat tour. Maybe they will actually sail.

I was prepared for only English-speaking staff, and indeed everything was in English. Additionally, there were no participants who spoke Japanese. There were some unfamiliar English terms in the explanations, but I managed to understand the atmosphere, and by following the others, I was able to get by.
The boat was really cool, and it felt very relaxed, as if we could just hang out anywhere. It was perfect for taking photos.
I have done snorkeling a few times in Japan, but the waves in Hawaii were high, making it difficult to move as I wanted, which was a bit scary. The life jacket that attaches around the waist? Having two, one under the armpits and one around the waist, helped a lot. There were staff members who made sure we didn't remove them and kept a close watch from the boat, so I felt that safety was well taken care of.
I was able to see sea turtles floating on the surface and swimming, which was great.
Since the waves were high and the boat rocked quite a bit, those prone to seasickness should definitely take motion sickness medication. Also, since you might get hungry or feel hot, it would be good to have some snacks and water. They do offer soda and alcohol for a fee.
英語スタッフのみとあったので覚悟して行きましたが、やはり全て英語でした。また、一緒に参加する方も日本語を話せる方はおらずという感じでした。
また説明ではあまり聞いたことのない英語もあったので、雰囲気で理解しましたが周りの方に合わせて動けば何とかなりました。
船はとってもカッコよくて、どこでもいいからゆっくりしてねという感じで自由に過ごせました。写真映えは最高です。
シュノーケリングは日本で何回かやったことがあるのですが、ハワイの海は波が高いので思ったように動けず、少し恐怖もありました。腰につけるライフジャケット?は脇下と腰に2つ付けるとなんとかなりました。外すのは絶対ダメという感じでポイントを知らせてくれる方と船の上からしっかり見ている方といらっしゃったので安全面はしっかりしているのかなという感じでした。
海亀は海面に浮いてきたり、泳ぎながらも見れたのでよかったです。
波が高く、船も結構揺れるので船酔いをする方は酔い止め絶対にいります。あと、お腹が空いたり、暑さもあるので、水分と軽食があってもいいと思います。お金を払えばソーダやお酒は提供してくれます。

The Prius departs from a location next to the Waikiki Hotel, which is easy to find and has relatively good security.
The terms and conditions are in English and can be read via a QR code, but you can easily translate them using a translation function.
There were no Japanese people present, but there are gestures during the explanations, so it works out fine.
I think it's recommended for those who want to experience a non-daily life without Japanese people around.

I had a great time watching sea turtles in the beautiful ocean. It was also nice to be able to do stand-up paddleboarding. Depending on the season, it might be cold when you come out of the water while still wet, so it's necessary to bring something to wear. Other than the spam rice balls, there were plenty of snacks and drinks available for unlimited refills, which was more than enough.

The long-awaited snorkeling at Hanauma Bay was amazing! Although it was rainy in the early morning, by the time we arrived at the site, the rain had stopped, and the sky gradually brightened. By the second half of the snorkeling, we were greeted with beautiful blue skies!
Light was shining through the water, and I was thrilled to see a variety of colorful fish of all sizes! Unfortunately, I couldn't find any turtles, but I was surprised to see a large seal lounging on the beach! I thought it was wonderful that both the fish and the seals were completely unafraid of people. This must be due to the strong spirit of animal protection among the people of Hawaii!
The two guides were also very kind, which made for a reassuring experience. Thank you!

亀は残念ながら探し出せませんでしたが、大きなアザラシがビーチの上にドーンと寝転んでいたのにはびっくり‼️魚もそうですが、アザラシも全く人を警戒していないのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。

Last time it rained and it was a bit unsatisfying, but this time I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery under a blue sky. Even though it was sunny, it was cold, so I was glad I brought two beach towels. I think many people participate hoping to see the sandbar, but it seems you can only see it during a very low tide. (The tide level was -0.5, but the water was up to my knees.) You can see plenty of turtles and fish while snorkeling, so it's a lot of fun. They provide snorkeling gear, but there are no fins. The crew was kind and friendly, and it was clear they wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. This is definitely an activity I want to participate in again. I hope the exchange rate improves or that the prices become more affordable.

Great experience! The crew were amazing and super helpful pointing out the spots were the turtles were. It is a smaller boat which creates a more personal atmosphere, but we still had a lot of room onboard plus we got to sit on the net. Again, big mahalo to the crew! We got to surf a few waves on the boat lol. 10/10 highly recommend.

The shuttle bus driver and the staff who guided us on the boat were very kind, which made us feel very safe. It was wonderful to see not only the sandbar but also many sea turtles. After coming out of the water, some people felt cold, so it's good to be well-prepared with a jacket.
送迎バスの運転手さんや船で案内してくれたスタッフの皆さんとても親切でとても安心出来ました。
サンドバーだけでなく海亀もたくさん見る事が出来て素晴らしかったです。
海から上がったあとは寒くなってた人もいたのでしっかりと上着を用意出来てると良いです。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. I'm really glad you enjoyed the sandbar and the encounter with the sea turtles. As you recommended, since this is a tour in the ocean, please be sure to bring a jacket throughout the year when participating. We hope to see you again at the sandbar on your next visit to Hawaii. Mahalo!

サンドバー、ウミガメとの遭遇も楽しんで頂けまして本当によかったです。
お勧め頂きました通り、海でのツアーですので参加の際は一年を通して上着はぜひ持参されて下さい。
次回ハワイにお越しの際はぜひまたサンドバーに遊びにいらしてください。マハロ!

The sea was very beautiful and I had a great time!
I felt reassured that there were staff members who could speak Japanese!
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I initially put on the goggles incorrectly, but the staff kindly helped me fix it...! Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy it safely!
I saw coral reefs and fish, making it an unforgettable experience!
In May, the seawater was a bit cold, but I got used to it once I started swimming. It became a wonderful memory!
Thank you!
海がとっても綺麗で楽しかったです!
スタッフさんも日本語話せる方が居て安心でした!
シュノーケリングは初めてなのもあり、最初ゴーグルの付け方を間違えていたのですが、スタッフさんが優しく直してくれて助かりました…!おかげで安全に楽しめました!
珊瑚礁も魚も見られて忘れられない経験になりました!
5月なので海水は少し冷たかったですが、泳いでいれば慣れました。とってもいい思い出になりました!
ありがとうございます!

As others have mentioned, the boat arrived more than 10 minutes late for check-in. Even with non-English speakers present, there was no effort to speak slowly or accommodate them; all explanations were given in English.
We did get to see sea turtles, but it seemed like there weren't many that day, as we only encountered a couple of them coming up to the surface a few times.
他の方の書き込み通り、集合時間より10分以上遅れて船の方が出てきてチェックインの開始でした。
そして英語圏ではない人が居ても、ゆっくり話すなど気を使うこともなく、全て英語での説明でした。
海亀は会えましたが、その日はあまり居なかったのか海面に上がってくる子に2、3回会えた感じでした。

We had no trouble even with our limited English skills. We rented an umbrella as an option, but it was difficult to set up due to the strong wind. When we rented on-site, the staff helped us set it up properly. The water at Hanauma Bay was definitely clearer and more beautiful than in Waikiki. Our child was very happy to see many different types of fish.
英語力のない私達でも不自由はありませんでした。オプションでパラソルを借りましたが、風が強く設置が大変でした。現地で借りるとスタッフがしっかりと設置してくれていました。ハナウマの海はワイキキより断然透明で美しかったです。子供はたくさんの種類の魚を見ることができ、とても喜んでいました。
