Let's join this tour with an open mind, haha!
First, the staff arrived about 20 minutes late from the meeting time! Well, since the other participants didn't complain, I'll take it as a good sign.
Also, once we got on the boat, there was a long explanation, but it was all in English! (By the way, the email we received right before also came in English, so I used a translation app to understand the content.)
Anyway, after listening to the explanation, we dove in! We saw so many turtles, it was amazing!
On the way back, we even encountered dolphins. It would have been perfect if I understood English, but I still had a great time!
このツアーはおおらかな気持ちで参加しましょう笑
まず、集合時間から20分ぐらい遅れでスタッフさん登場!まぁ他の参加者の方も文句は言ってなかったので良しとします
あと、船に乗ってから説明が長々とありましたが、全部英語!(ちなみに直前に来る案内メールも英語なので翻訳アプリで訳して内容理解しました)
まぁなんとなく説明も聞いてからのダイブ!
亀はこれでもかっ!ってぐらいに会えました。
あと、帰りの船でイルカにも遭遇
英語さえわかれば最高!じゃなくても楽しめました!

The staff members cheerfully dispel any worries with their smiles and conversations, creating a fun atmosphere. I was able to see the honu (sea turtles) as well, and I was especially moved by the beauty of the white sand and blue sea. There's no need to hold back, even if you're older; it's enjoyable!

The ship is comfy, they also provide drinks.
Snorkeling spot is great, saw sea turtles and of course a lot of fishes.
We were very lucky to see 4 spots of dolphins swimming just around us and jumping and spinning.
Great crew, very friendly and helpful.
We brought 2 babies (18 months) with us, they also had a great time, could tell from their face :)
Attending a private tour allowed us to set out immediately for the dolphins when spotted them. Will def. choose to do private tour again next time.

It was my sixth-grade daughter's second time snorkeling in her life, but perhaps because of her bad experience during her first time, I had to somewhat forcefully encourage her to participate. However, from the moment we were picked up, the staff were kind and taught us patiently, which allowed her to enjoy it with peace of mind. She said it was the most fun she had during this trip! It has become my favorite memory as well. Thank you very much!
小学6年生の娘にとって人生で二度目のシュノーケリングでしたが、初めて体験した時のイメージが悪かったせいか、嫌がる娘を半ば強引に誘っての参加でした。
しかし、送迎の時から優しく、丁寧に教えて頂き、安心して楽しむことができたようで、今回の旅行の中で一番楽しかったと言ってくれました!私にとっても一番の思い出です。本当にありがとうございました

We participated as a family with a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old. The transportation was provided by a small bus with a Japanese-speaking driver to our hotel. It took about 30 minutes to the port, and then we arrived at the destination in about 15 minutes by a small ferry. The captain was very kind, stopping when we spotted sea turtles or when a guest's hat fell into the sea.
I had imagined the location to be a sandy beach, but it was a shallow area about 100 cm deep, so the 6-year-old needed a float. For water activities, there were floats, a small boat with windows to observe the seabed, and paddleboards. After playing for about an hour, those who wanted to went snorkeling.
Snorkeling is generally recommended for those who can swim on their own, but you can also hold onto the instructor's board for assistance. The instructions were provided on the boat with Japanese interpretation. Since putting on the mask can be a bit tricky, it might be smoother if you research it in advance. The 12-year-old accidentally swallowed some seawater and felt a bit sick later.
Under the sea, we could clearly see fish, corals, and sea turtles. Onboard, snacks, canned drinks, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were freely available. Bringing your own food was also allowed. After playing in the sea, it can get a bit chilly, so it's advisable to bring a bath towel or a jacket. Don't forget to bring tips as well.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
12歳、6歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。 送迎はホテルまで小さなバスで日本語堪能な方がしてくださいました。
港まで30分ほど、港から小型フェリーで現地まで15分ほどで現地到着でした。 船長は海面にウミガメが見えるときや、お客の帽子が海に落下した時に止まってくださったり大変親切な方でした。
現地は砂浜をイメージしていたのですが、100cmほどの深さの浅瀬で6歳の子は浮き輪が必要でした。
海遊びは浮き輪、海底が観察できる窓つきの小さなボート、パドルボードがあります。1時間ほど遊んだ後、希望者はシュノーケリングに行きました。
シュノーケリングは基本的に自身で泳げる方が推奨ですが、インストラクターのボードにつかまってつれてっていただくこともできます。
説明は船上で日本語通訳付きでしてくださいます。マスクの付け方がちょっと難しいので事前に調べておいた方がスムーズかもしれません。12歳の子は海水をちょっと飲んでしまい、後で気持ち悪くなっていました。
海の中は魚たち、サンゴ、ウミガメがばっちり見えましたよ。
船内はスナック、缶ジュース、コーヒー、紅茶、ホットチョコレートなど自由にいただけます。持ちこみも可です。
海で遊んだ後は少々寒いので、バスタオルや上着は持っていった方が良いでしょう。
チップも忘れずに持っていきましょう。
全体にすばらしい体験でした。

The driver who picked us up introduced us to the shops along the way, so we arrived at our destination in no time. The staff at Captain Bruce's were very kind and cheerful, and they provided support in Japanese. They explained all the dangerous parts of the marine activities in Japanese, which made us feel safe while having fun. There was also a staff member who explained things in a charming Kansai dialect, which was delightful. We were able to swim with turtles, and the view of the mountains from the sea was incredibly beautiful. It was a precious sight.
On the boat, there were hot drinks, canned juices, snacks, fruits, and spam rice balls. The rice balls and Swissmiss after swimming were very delicious. There are no changing rooms, so getting into the air-conditioned shuttle with wet swimsuits can be quite chilly. It was necessary to bring a few larger towels to use as blankets. It was that cold. It's better not to bring valuables, but since tips are not included, it was necessary to prepare cash for the tip boxes on the boat and in the shuttle.
送迎のドライバーさんは、道沿いにあるお店の紹介をしながら運転してくれるので、現地にはあっという間に着きました。キャプテンブルースの方々はとても親切で明るく、日本語のサポートもあり、マリンアクティビティの危険な所も全て日本語で説明してくれたので、安心して遊ぶことができました。謎に関西弁で説明するスタッフさんがいて癒されました。カメと泳ぐことも出来、海から見る山々がとても綺麗でした。貴重な景色です。
船内ではホットドリンクや缶ジュース、スナック・フルーツ・スパムおにぎりがあり、泳いだ後のおにぎりとSwissmissはとても美味しかったです。更衣室がないので、濡れたままの水着でエアコンの効いた送迎車に乗るのは体が冷えます。大きめタオルを何枚か持って行ってブランケット代わりにする必要がありました。そのくらい寒いです。貴重品は持参しない方が良いですが、チップが含まれていないので、船内にあるチップボックスと、送迎車内にあるチップボックスに入れるお札は準備が必要でした。

I participated alone, but I had a great time.
The two instructors, Dan and Chieko, were very polite and kind, and they took good care of us, so I was able to join without any anxiety. I was very satisfied because we got to snorkel for a full hour at great spots. The tour was conducted entirely in Japanese, so even those who can't speak English at all can feel at ease.
When I went ten years ago, there was no need to make a reservation for Hanauma Bay, so I went there by TheBus on my own. However, I heard that making a reservation is very difficult now, and I was half resigned to that. But I really wanted to see that beautiful ocean, and even though I thought it might be a bit expensive, I’m glad I went. I'm considering asking for this again the next time I come to Hawaii.
Thank you very much.
1人で参加しましたがとても楽しめました。
インストラクターのお2人ダンさん、ちえこさんもとても丁寧で優しくて気にかけてくれたので全く不安なく参加できましたし、良いスポットを1時間たっぷりシュノーケリングで回れたので大満足でした。ツアーは終始日本語なので英語が全くできない人でも安心です。
10年前に行った時はハナウマ湾への予約の必要がなかったので自分でTheBusで行ってましたが、今は予約を取るのがとても大変と聞いて半分諦めてました。でもどうしてもあの綺麗な海に行きたくてちょっと高いかなと思ったけどやっぱり行って良かったです。また次にハワイに来た時もお願いしようかなと思っています。

It was different from the snorkeling I had imagined; we swam continuously for about 60 minutes. They guided us to good spots, and we were able to take underwater photos. Since it's a tour where you need both hands free at all times, it's better to avoid taking your smartphone. You shouldn't bring it. We even saw a sea turtle along the way, which was beyond my expectations.
I felt that the maximum of 5 people in a small group was in reference to the number of participants per instructor, but I don't think there were any issues with that.
想像していたシュノーケリングとは違い、60分程度泳ぎっぱなしでした。
良いポイントへ導いてくれて、水中写真も撮れました。
常に両手が使える状態でなければ厳しいツアーなので、スマホでの撮影は避けた方が良いです。持っていくべきではありません。
途中ウミガメも見られて、想像以上です。
最大5名の少人数…は、インストラクター1名あたりの人数だと感じましたが、特に不具合は無いと思います。

The weather was disappointing. The staff was kind, but it was a bit unsettling to be on the bus for nearly 30 minutes without any staff who understood Japanese. Lastly, the request for a $20 tip seems a bit high. With the yen's depreciation, the tour fees are already high, making it tough.

The waves were high enough for surfing, and the water was murky, so I couldn't see a single fish. It was cold due to the strong wind, making it tough to stay on the beach.
I spent about 13,000 yen on the tour and entrance fee to go snorkeling, so I wish they would allow cancellations or not operate on days with such poor conditions. I was really disappointed.
サーフィンできるほど波が高くて、海の中は白く濁っていて一匹も魚が見れませんでした。風が強いので寒くてビーチにもいるのもきつかったです。

On the day of the event, it was nearly full, and there were many tourists with us. We took a bus to the port and boarded the boat, but it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there, and the explanations were mostly in English. Since we didn't understand English, we could only guess what they were saying based on the atmosphere. I was a bit anxious, but somehow it turned out okay (laughs). During snorkeling, we were able to see quite a few sea turtles, and I was really happy to see a sea turtle come up to the surface right next to us. The other activities were also quite enjoyable. On the way back, since we wanted to go somewhere other than the hotel, we were kindly accommodated with our request to disband at a different location, which we appreciated.

I had a truly valuable experience! The instructor was very kind and guided us with safety in mind. Although the water was cold since we started at 5 AM, I had reserved a wetsuit in advance, so I was fine during the long snorkeling session. On the day of participation, there was little wind, and I was able to see four sea turtles up close! Additionally, I was able to see many marine creatures that can only be found in Hanauma Bay, which was truly moving.
If I were to mention one point of caution, those with weak vestibular systems may be more prone to seasickness. I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication beforehand! I personally have a weak constitution and took Dramamine before participating, but I still experienced significant seasickness.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you very much to the instructors!
とても貴重な体験ができました!
インストラクターさんはとても優しく、安全に配慮しながら案内をしてくださいました。
朝5時からの参加で水は冷たかったのですが、スイムスーツを事前に予約し、お借りしたので、長時間のシュノーケリングでも大丈夫でした。
参加日当日は風が少なく、ウミガメを4匹も間近で見ることができました!その他にも、ハナウマ湾でしか見ることのできない海の生物をたくさん見ることができて、本当に感動しました。
1点のみ注意点を挙げるとするならば、三半規管の弱い方は波酔いの可能性が高いです。強めの酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをオススメします!!私は元々弱い方で、トラベ◯ミンを飲んでから参加しましたがガッツリ波酔いしました。
総合的には一生の思い出に残る経験ができました。インストラクターの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

On the day of the activities, you can freely choose from options like SUP, inflatable rings, and snorkeling, so I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it.

There was a large moray eel, and the underwater world was a wonderful experience. I was so moved and swam with enthusiasm, and just when I started to feel a bit tired, the tour wrapped up nicely. I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. The guide was kind and relaxed, not pushing us to be overly energetic, which made for a pleasant experience. Thank you very much.
初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎもそんなに自信ない感じでしたが、問題なく習得できました。大きなウツボもいて、初めての海の中の世界は素晴らしい体験でした。感動して夢中で泳いで、少し疲れてきたかな?と気づいたころに丁度一周がおわり、そんなに体力ない方でも楽しめると思います。ガイドさんも、無理にテンション上げさせる感じでなく、親切でリラックスした感じの方で気持ちよく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

The snorkeling was murky, possibly because the sea was shallow, and I couldn't see any fish except where the staff was scattering food. The coral was completely white, and I could hardly see anything. After snorkeling, I got to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and the staff taught me how to ride it, which was a lot of fun.
シュノーケリングは海が浅瀬のためか濁っていて、スタッフが餌を撒いているところ以外魚も見えず、珊瑚は真っ白でほとんど何も見えなかったです。
シュノーケリングの後supが使えて初めての経験でスタッフが乗り方を教えてくれ、とても楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's tour.
We sincerely apologize for the low visibility during snorkeling, which did not meet your expectations. We are grateful for the two-star rating despite not being able to fulfill your wishes.
We are always striving to improve with our staff to ensure that every customer has a memorable experience, and we would be delighted if you could join us again on your next opportunity. We look forward to the day when you can experience a different sandbar tour.
Thank you for your valuable time and feedback.

Instructor Dan pulled me along, even though I'm not a good swimmer. I felt very safe and was able to go far out, and I got to see sea turtles up close. Since it was a small group, I could take my time watching the sea turtles, and it was the first time I felt so relaxed while snorkeling. It truly was the best memory!
インストラクターのDANさんが
カナヅチの私を引っ張ってくれ
とても安心して遠くまで行くことが出来、
海ガメもしっかり見れました。

あんなに安心してシュノーケル出来たのは
初めてです。
本当に最高の思い出です!

When I arrived at the ferry boarding area, I thought, "Huh? It's just a regular sea," but as we went out to the open water on the ferry, it was truly a heavenly sea. It was shallow enough to stand even that far out, and the water was clear—such a new experience!
フェリー乗る場所に着いた時は、え?普通の海じゃんと思ったが、フェリーで沖まで行くとそこにはまさしく天国の海が。
あんな沖なのに立てるぐらいの浅さで水も透明、新体験でした!

Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. The Paradise of the Sea, which suddenly spreads about 15 minutes offshore from the harbor, is such a mysterious place. It is a special area protected by the barrier reef, so the waves are calm, allowing for safe enjoyment of activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. This mystical place changes its appearance every day depending on the time of day, tides, and weather, so we invite you to come back and experience a different atmosphere of the Paradise of the Sea on another occasion. Mahalo!
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。港から15分ほどの沖合に突然広がる天国の海、とても不思議な場所ですよね。バリアリーフに守られている湾内ですので波も穏やかでシュノーケリングやSUPなども安全に楽しめる特別なエリアです。時間帯や潮の満ち引き、天候によって毎日表情を変える神秘的な場所ですので、またの機会に違った雰囲気の天国の海を体験しにお越しくださいませ。Mahalo!

The highlight of this trip was the snorkeling tour at Heaven's Sea, and we were fortunate with the weather, making it a lot of fun. Although there was only one stand-up paddleboard for the group, everyone took turns and enjoyed it thoroughly. The snorkeling was amazing; we could see turtles clearly and even swim alongside them, which was thrilling. The guide was also entertaining, making this tour highly recommended.
今回の旅行の1番の楽しみの天国の海シュノーケリングツアー、天候にも恵まれとても楽しかったです。サップは、グループにひとつということでしたが、参加者の皆さんで順番に使い満喫できました。シュノーケリングは、亀もバッチリ見え一緒に泳ぐことができ感激でした。ガイドさんも面白くおすすめのツアーです。
Aloha!

It was a day with a few clouds. The captain and crew were very accommodating, and they communicated in English with smiles, which eased my worries and made it feel like we understood each other. The visibility underwater was poor, so I couldn't see much. After getting back on the boat, the cold was incredibly intense, so I recommend that participants bring a dry T-shirt or a dry jacket.
少し雲がある日でした。
キャプテン クルーの対応は とても
良くて 英語での対応でも 笑顔で 対応してくれるので 不安はなく なんとなく通じました。
水中の 透明度が悪くて あまり

船に上がってからな 寒さは 半端なく寒かったので 参加される方は 乾いたTシャツか乾いた上着を 持って行かれる事を お勧め致します

Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We truly appreciate your kind words about the captain and crew's service. The clarity of the snorkeling can be affected by the weather conditions from the previous day, so we would be delighted if you could try snorkeling in clearer waters on your next opportunity. It often feels a bit chilly after coming out of the water, so I think it would be reassuring to bring a dry jacket as you recommended. We sincerely look forward to your next visit to Hawaii and hope you will join us again. Mahalo!

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。キャプテン・クルーの対応をお褒めいただき誠にありがとうございます。シュノーケリングの透明度は前の日の天候等によって左右されることがありますので、ぜひまたの機会に透明度の高い海中でのシュノーケリングをお試しいただけたら嬉しく思います。海から上がった後は肌寒く感じることが多いですので、お勧めいただいた様に乾いた上着をお持ちいただければ安心かと思います。次回ハワイにお越しの際にまたご参加いただけますことを心よりお待ち申し上げております。Mahalo!

This is my second time participating after five years. My daughter said she wanted to shop in Kailua and at Kailua Beach, so I signed up. However, after just a little over an hour, she said, "I'm not really in the mood for the beach today..." So we moved to Kailua Town earlier, which gave us about four hours of shopping time. We leisurely explored Target, Whole Foods, Longs Drugs, Down to Earth, and had a fulfilling time. I've been to various beaches in Hawaii, but Kailua Beach is always pleasant no matter when I visit.
5年振り2回目の参加です。
カイルアビーチとカイルアでのお買い物をしたい!と娘が言うので申し込みましたが、なんと娘がたった1時間ちょっとで「今日はあんまりビーチの気分じゃないや…」と言い出し、カイルアタウンへの移動を早めて頂き、およそ四時間のショッピングタイムになりました。
ターゲット、ホールフーズ、ロングスドラッグス、ダウントゥーアース等をノンビリ見て周り、充実した時間となりました。
ハワイのビーチは、あちこち行っていますが、カイルアビーチはいつ来ても心地よいです。
Dear k50,
Thank you very much for participating in our tour. Kailua offers a relaxed atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, allowing you to enjoy both the beach and the town at your leisure. We hope you had a wonderful time.
When you visit Hawaii again, please come and see us. Our staff is looking forward to welcoming you back.
Thank you.

You were able to see the honu (sea turtles) properly! The honu, believed to bring good luck, surely came to deliver many gifts.

Please come back to visit us again. We will be waiting for that day along with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
