Wow! To start. They picked us up at our hotel to start. Then drive us to Kaneohe sandbar. Next a beautiful short boat ride to two barges loaded with sea toys. Beautiful shallow sandy beaches that are user friendly for small children to seniors. The reef snorkeling is easy, very well guided and watched in smaller groups. We swam with turtles. Captain Danny went out of his way to share local marine knowledge and make sure all got to see turtles. This was our second time- we also sent our daughter and grandchild. They immediately fell in love with the tour and friendly crew. They are like family to us now. We will always come and swim with the turtles only with Captain Bruce's Team.
We have tried others and this family prefers and highly recommends Captain Bruce's based on experience. I am a former diver for the Seattle Aquarium, researcher for Washington State Department of Fisheries, Rescue Diver, Assistant Dive Instructor Advanced Open Water and lastly Alaska Department of Fish and Game. Simply said "Captain Bruce's does it right". I send my grandkids there Thank you Captain Bruce's! We love you!!! My only request is that you start another tour a bit more advanced for experienced snorkelers.
Then sign up this family

Although it wasn't guaranteed that we would see dolphins, we were able to see many of them. The boat was comfortable, and the staff really got everyone excited, making for a very enjoyable day. The early morning gathering was a bit challenging, but it made the day feel longer, which was very fulfilling. I also had the experience of seeing the great nature of the land from the boat, which was an excellent experience. Although the snorkeling time was a bit short, we were able to see a sea turtle and many fish. It was a lot of fun. Thank you!
イルカを見れることが確定ではないのにも関わらず沢山のイルカを見ることができました。船の中も快適でスタッフさんたちが沢山盛り上げてくれたのでとても楽しい一日を過ごすことができました。朝の集合が早かったですがその代わり一日が長く感じることが出来たので充実感に圧倒されました。陸の大自然を船から見ることができる経験も出来たので非常に良い体験をすることができました。シュノーケリングは少し時間は短いもののウミガメを無事見ることもでき、沢山の魚を見れました。非常に楽しかったです。ありがとうございます

Unfortunately, the sandbar was not visible, but we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and the kids were delighted. During this time of year, the water temperature is low, so it was cold. However, it was great to try stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, and once we got on the boat, we could enjoy warm drinks, which helped us warm up!
残念ながら、サンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、シュノーケリングで亀が見れて、子供達は喜んでいました。この時期、水温が低いので、寒かったです。でも、初めてSUPをやったり、船に上がったら温かい飲み物も飲めて、身体も温まり、良かったです!
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We also appreciate you sharing your review and photos!

Good price, good location, fun crew.
Need to provide something more than meet-at-the-bathrooms-of-a-marina for mustering instructions. There were no crew/personnel at said marina bathroom well past the appointed time. The check-in process was haphazard at best, and did not instill a lot of confidence in the crew's ability/professionalism. The shuttle brining additional guests from Honolulu/Waikiki was very late and delayed our departure by more than 30 minutes (of a three hour cruise). This is obviously not the crew's fault and there is nothing they could have done about the traffic; however, the lack of communication to the guests who were there waiting could have (and should have) been much much better.
Once on the boat, the crew proved knowledgable and kind. A fun cruise that is perfectly suited for visitors staying on the west end of the island. There are similarly priced options closer to Honolulu and Waikiki without the hour-plus drive through really bad traffic.

This was our 2nd time doing the Dolphins and You Tour (we did it in 2017). Last time was amazing as we had a very calm day and saw lots of dolphins. This time it was quite rough and we did not get an opportunity to swim in the ocean with them.
We did enjoy our time anchored in the bay, where we snorkeled, kayaked and swam. Lunch was delicious and the crew was terrific.
Even despite not seeing dolphins, it was a lovely day.

It was raining heavily and cold, but I was able to see the honu! The driver who picked us up to the boat and the staff on the boat were very kind. Thanks to someone who could speak Japanese, they provided detailed guidance on points to be careful with small children and played with them in the sea, making it a truly enjoyable time! Even in the rain, we were able to see into the water, and when the honu swam by, we could see it up close! Since my children, aged 3 and 7, can't swim, we rented a special boat. Thanks to the boat, everyone was able to see the honu and was very happy! Drinks and snacks were free, which was a great service for the kids who got a little hungry!
すごーく雨が降り寒かったですが、ホヌに会うことができました!

Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We were truly touched to receive your wonderful feedback about having a great time despite the cold weather due to the rain.

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。

This was my first time participating. It took about an hour to get to the location from the Waikiki area. After taking a short nap with the kids, our excitement grew as we arrived. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when the sun came out, it got really hot. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any particular issues. I think it was less than ten minutes after we set sail, but we quickly arrived at the destination and headed straight to the sandbar. At first, the water felt cold, but we got used to it right away, and the kids were having a blast! After that, we went snorkeling. We saw a turtle right after we set sail, but during snorkeling...

In the morning, the weather was bad, and there was thunder and rain in the distance, but by early afternoon it cleared up, and I was so happy to see dolphins and whales up close. It was quite rocky, so those prone to seasickness should be careful! Snorkeling was fun, but the waterslide was absolutely amazing and gave a fantastic sense of freedom!

During the snorkeling afterward, I encountered sea turtles multiple times and was able to fully enjoy the underwater world of Hawaii.

To enter Hanauma Bay on your own, it seems you have to win the reservation battle that only starts a few days in advance, so if you want to go to Hanauma Bay, I think it's safer to use the provided services. During our visit, we were fortunate with the weather, and since it was mid-March, we were able to venture further out. We were able to see sea turtles and yellowfin tuna, and it was great that we could later share photos. Since you snorkel for nearly an hour, I think it's a good idea to rent a wetsuit. The weather was good, but even so, I was glad to have the wetsuit towards the end.
自力でハナウマ湾に入るには(数日前にしか始まらない)予約争奪戦を勝ち取らなければならないそうなので、ハナウマ湾に行きたいなら無難に利用するのが良いのかなと思いました。我々の時は天候にも恵まれ、3月半ばだったこともあり、沖の方にも出ることができました。無事ウミガメやギンガメアジを見ることもできたし、写真も後ほど共有してもらえたりとありがたかったです。1時間近くシュノーケリングするのでウェットスーツを借りておくのが無難かなぁと思います。天候は良かったですが、それでも最後の方はウェットスーツがあって良かったなと思いました。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers.
Being able to enter easily from the dedicated lane without a reservation scramble is thanks to our certified instructors from Hanauma Bay!
On this day, we were blessed with great weather and sea conditions, and we guided you further out.

Hanauma Bay has surprisingly many shallow areas that can lead to injuries, so wearing a wetsuit is the best option for preventing both cold and injuries.

5:55 meeting time
After about an hour's drive by microbus, we headed to the West Coast.
The temperature was a bit low and there was some wind, so it's advisable to bring something to wear.
The boat also swayed, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are prone to motion sickness.
Although we didn't end up seeing dolphins, we did see whales and sea turtles while snorkeling along the way.
The sea was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay in for too long.
I heard that there’s a plan from Honolulu where you can see dolphins while going to see sea turtles, so I think I'll choose that next time.
The staff, including the Japanese staff, were all very nice, and I had a great time using the service.
5:55集合
1時間ほどマイクロバスで移動し、西海岸へ
やや気温は低めで風もあったため、羽織れるものは持っておいた方が無難。
船も揺れるため、乗り物酔いしやすい人にはおすすめできない。
イルカは結局見ることはできなかったが、途中クジラとシュノーケリングでウミガメは見ることができた。
海が少し寒くあまり長時間は入れなかった。
ホノルル発のウミガメを見に行くプランでもイルカが見れるとのことで、次はそちらにしようと思う。
日本人スタッフはじめ、スタッフがいい人ばかりで楽しく利用できた。
Thank you for participating! Since dolphins are wild animals, there may be times when you won't see them. It was unfortunate, but if you have the opportunity, please come back and try again! Dolphins can also come to Waikiki. While we can't swim with them, you can enjoy watching from the boat.
ご参加ありがとうございます!
イルカは野生の生き物のため会えないこともございます。
残念でしたが、また機会がありましたらぜひチャレンジに来てください!
ワイキキでもイルカが来てくれることもあります。
一緒にスイムはできませんが、船の上からウォッチングを楽しめます。

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!

I was worried about the weather, but it was low tide, sunny, and calm—perfect conditions that were truly beautiful. I was also able to see the honu up close. I was informed that there might not always be staff who speak Japanese, but on my boat, there were two, and I was able to experience everything without any issues.
天候などが心配でしたが、干潮かつ晴天、無風で最高の条件でとても美しかったです。ホヌも間近で見ることができました。必ず日本語が話せるスタッフがいるとは限らないとのことでしたが、私の船には二人もいらっしゃり、何不自由なく体験できました。

The weather was absolutely beautiful, perfect for a day at the beach! I was so happy to see sea turtles both from the boat on the way there and while snorkeling (even though it was a bit far).
It was great to see that there were people who were properly addressing those who were breaking the rules, whether they were part of another tour or individuals. It showed that everyone is committed to preserving the beauty created by nature.
As mentioned in other reviews, it was still a bit chilly when getting in and out of the water during this season, so I recommend bringing a large towel or a cover-up.
天候が非常に良く、天国の海日和でした!!
向かうまでの船からも、シュノーケリング中も(少し遠かったけど)ウミガメを見ることができて幸せでした♫
また、別のツアーなのか個人で来てる人なのかわかりません、ルール違反をしている方を見つけてはきちんと注意等されていたところが、皆様がこの自然の生み出した美しさを保たれていることがわかりよかったです。
他のレビューにもある通り、時期的にまだ海にずっと入っていたり、上がったりすると寒かったのでちゃんと大きめのタオルや羽織を持っていくことをおすすめします。

If you are looking for the best you have found it. Captain Mark handles the boat like a pro. The staff is the best in the world. The trip and experiences are phenomenal. My husband loved the water slide. I had an amazing time snorkeling. Seeing sea turtles, trigger fish and more. Whales were supper cool. The views are breath taking.

The included transportation was excellent. On time and our driver gave us commentary on the scenic drive to the harbor. On the way back he stopped at
Leonard's Barkery and let us get donuts!
The snorkeling at the bay was excellent, we saw lots of fish and saw 3 turtles.
Afterward we had about an hour at the bay to use paddleboards and floaties.
I wish they had kayaks like some of the other companies.
Snacks included granola bars, apples, chips, and musubi.
A little pricey but enjoyable morning.
On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your support!
Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.
Mahalo and Aloha!
