This is my third time participating in this tour. I have joined tours from other companies, but the Angel's Sea from All Hawaii Cruise is the most fun. This is what an American hamburger is all about! Thanks to the fun staff, my excitement starts from the welcome bus, and the lunch hamburger is incredibly delicious!
このツアー参加は3度目です。他社のツアーにも参加したことがありますが、オールハワイクルーズの天使の海が一番楽しいです。これぞアメリカンハンバーガーですね!楽しいスタッフの方のおかげで、お迎えのバス内からテンション上がりますし、なんてったってランチのハンバーガーがピカ一美味い!

This is my second time participating. Last time, I only swam a little because it was my first time snorkeling, but this time I swam around the coral reef. As a result, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I wanted to be taken to the Dragon Palace, but instead of the angelic sea, I felt like I was heading to the real paradise. (Considering my age...) For lunch, the beautiful young captain grilled hamburgers, which were very delicious. Playing volleyball at the sandbar was also fun. Next time, if I have the opportunity, I would like to take photos with the sea turtles again.
今回で、2回目の参加です。
前回はシュノーケリングは、初めてなので少ししか泳ぎませんでしたが、今回は2回目なので、サンゴ礁近の周りを泳ぎました。その結果、海亀と一緒に泳ぐことができました。このまま竜宮城へ連れて行ってもらいたかったのですが、天使の海でなく、本当の天国のへ海に逝ってしまいそうでした。(年齢もそれなりですが・・・)昼食は、美人の若い船長自らの、焼いたハンバーガーでとてもおいしかったです。サンドバーでの、バレーボールも楽しかったです。
次回、機会があったらまた、海亀と一緒に写真を撮りたいです。

The guide was great, and the sandbar was waist-deep, which made me wonder how planning a sandbar visit during this time of year would be. Unfortunately, I could only see the sea turtles from a distance, which was really disappointing. However, the hamburger for lunch was delicious. On the other hand, the drinks were a letdown.
調子のいいガイドさんとサンドバーが腰まで浸かりこの時期にサンドバーを計画するのはどうなのかな?と思いました。また、ウミガメも遠くからしか見えず全く残念。ただ、ランチのハンバーガーは美味しかった。でも、飲み物は残念でした。

I couldn't be active due to seasickness, but when I started to feel a little better, I swam with dolphins! It was simply the best! The sight of so many dolphins swimming was truly breathtaking! It's something I've only seen on TV. Additionally, there were many sea turtles that day! It's a regret that I couldn't swim with the sea turtles because my seasickness worsened. The staff were friendly and fun, making it an enjoyable experience, aside from the seasickness. Watching the sunrise at the beginning of the tour was also amazing! I would love to join this tour again!
船酔いでアクティブにできなかったですが、船酔いの具合がちょっと調子が良くなった時にイルカと泳ぎました!
最高の一言です!!
たくさんのイルカが泳いでる姿はまさに圧巻!
テレビでしか見た事ない光景です。
それにこの日はウミガメさん達もたくさんいました!
船酔い悪化してウミガメさんと泳ぐ事ができなかったのが心残りです。
スタッフさん達も気さくで楽しい方々で満喫できました。船酔い以外は。笑
ツアー序盤の朝日を見るのも最高でした!
また参加したいツアーです!

I was able to see dolphins and sea turtles up close! It was so moving!! The flow of the tour is generally set, but it's not strict, so they were flexible enough to allow us to dive twice to see the dolphins, and even prioritized seeing the sea turtles over paddle boarding when time was running out. I was very satisfied! Also, the people on the boat were very friendly, and we were able to enjoy ourselves while heading to our destination. However, the boat sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is a must!!
イルカもウミガメもとても近くで見ることが出来ました!
感動!!
ツアーの流れは大まかには決まっていますが、絶対ではないので、イルカを見るために2回潜ることが出来るようにしていただけたり、時間がなくなってもウミガメを見ることを優先して、パドルバードはしないなど、臨機応変に対応していただけるので、とても満足しました!
また、船に乗っている方達もとても気さくで、乗っている間も楽しみながら目的地まで行く事ができました。
ただ、船がとても揺れるので酔い止めは必需品です!!

I was able to see sea turtles. I was told by the foreign staff that I needed to be able to swim breaststroke, but the Japanese staff provided a float, allowing me to enjoy myself. The sea was somewhat murky, so I would recommend other beaches for those who really want to see clear water.
ウミガメを見ることができました。
平泳ぎが出来ないとダメと外人スタッフから

I participated in a monitor tour!
Since I was staying at Hilton Village, the pickup was at 5:30 AM from the bus stop at Ilikai Hotel! I was a bit anxious because it was dark outside for such an early gathering, but there were many people at the meeting point, so I didn't need to worry. We took an hour-long bus ride to the location where the boat was. During that time, Julie shared a lot of information about Hawaii to keep us entertained! From dolphin ecology to the history of Oahu and recommended spots... it was definitely worth listening to! Julie was very passionate about her work, and it was clear she wanted us to have a great time. Even though it was our first meeting, she welcomed us warmly like a friend, which made it easy to feel comfortable.
The ocean in October is said to be very cold, and I initially planned not to rent a wetsuit, but it was the right decision to take Julie's recommendation! The ocean in October is really cold!! And within just five minutes of the boat ride, we encountered a pod of dolphins…!! I never expected to meet them so quickly! I hurriedly jumped in, and while swimming with the unfamiliar fins, I heard the signal, "Look down!!" When I looked down, there were so many dolphins!! The dolphins swimming right below me came so close that I could almost reach out and touch them! I never thought I would see them up close like this, but I truly experienced what it feels like to swim with dolphins (*^^*).
I also enjoyed canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding without feeling rushed. The boat staff and the photographer were all very friendly!! They took lots of photos for us (*^^*). There are many dolphin tours available, but if you want to spend a fun day with everyone as a group, I definitely recommend enrolling in Dolphin University!
モニターツアーで参加させて頂きました!
ヒルトンビレッジに宿泊だったのでイリカイホテルのバス停朝5時半のピックアップでした!
朝早くの集合で外は真っ暗で不安でしたが、集合場所には沢山の人が集まっていてそんな心配は要りませんでした。
バスに乗ってから1時間かけてボートがある場所まで移動します。その間退屈しないようにジュリさんが沢山ハワイについてお話してくださいました!イルカの生態話やオアフ島の歴史にお勧めのスポットまで…この話だけでも聞く価値アリです!
ジュリさんはとても仕事熱が強く、私達を楽しませようとしてくれてるのが伝わりました。初めて会うのに、友達のような暖かい感じで迎えてくれたので、とても馴染みやすかったです。
10月の海はとても寒いらしく、ウェットスーツは借りないつもりでしたが、ジュリさんのお勧めで借りて正解でした!10月の海はとても寒いです!!
そしてボートを走らせ5分もしないうちにイルカの群れが…!!まさかこんなに早く出会えるなんて‼慌てて飛び込み、慣れないフィンを使って泳いでいると、『下ミテー!!』という合図が!!
真下をみると沢山のイルカが!!そして真下を泳いでいたイルカ達は手を伸ばせば届くくらいの近さまで来てくれました‼まさかここまで近くで見れるとは思っていませんでしたが、本当にイルカと一緒に泳ぐ気分を味わえました(*^^*)
カヌーやSUPも時間に急かされる事なくゆっくり楽しめました。
ボートのスタッフさん、カメラマンさん、皆さんとてもフレンドリーです‼
写真もどんどん撮ってくれました(*^^*)
イルカツアーは沢山ありますが、皆と一団になって楽しい1日を過ごしたい方は是非イルカ大学の入学をお勧めします!

The tour was ok. There are a number of things that this group could do to make this a better, more rounded tour. The tour could have picked us up earlier to get us over to Kaneohe and in the water sooner. As it was the tour/adventure felt forced/rushed instead of being a relaxing experience. He equipment provided could have been of a better quality. Perhaps more time snorkeling for what is billed as a snorkelling adventure would have been better. The crew on the boat were good and tried to make things enjoyable for everyone.

The explanation bus provided clear information for those who are new to dolphins and snorkeling.
I was able to see dolphins very closely several times, which was incredibly moving. However, I was disappointed that I couldn't see any turtles, as I believe we were supposed to. It might have been because we had a hard time spotting the dolphins at first. Also, perhaps due to the location, there weren't many fish around.
You can rent a wetsuit for $10 per person, which is advisable since there are many jellyfish. The wetsuit is shorter than shorts, so if you're concerned, it's better to bring something that covers your legs.
During our free time, I was very satisfied with the amount of time we could spend on stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. The hamburgers and pineapples for lunch were also very sweet and delicious.
The staff members were very kind, and I had a wonderful time. Thank you! I would like to participate in other activities the next time I visit Hawaii.
イルカやシュノーケルに関して初めてのかたでもわかりやすいようにせつめいバスでしてくれていました。
イルカはすごく近くで数回見る事が出来てとても感動しました。
ただ、カメも本来は見ることができるはずでしたが、最初イルカを中々見れなかったせいか
カメが見れなかったのは残念でした。
あとは、場所柄なのかほとんど魚はいませんでした。
ウェットスーツを1人10ドルでレンタルできるのでクラゲも多いしかりたほうがいいです。
下が半ズボンより短い長さなので不安でしたら自分で足が隠れるものをもっていったほうがいいです。
自由時間にはSUPとカヤックも満足するくらい行う事が出来てとても満足しました。
お昼ご飯のハンバーガーやパイナップルもとっても甘くておいしかったです。

We were picked up by a large bus decorated with dolphins right from the start of the day, which really got us excited! The staff inside the bus were energetic and provided clear and entertaining explanations, and before we knew it, we arrived at the boarding location. Once on board, we were lucky enough to encounter dolphins right away and had a great view of wild dolphins! It was a bit unfortunate that the water was murky, but everyone enjoyed snorkeling and paddleboarding, spending their time as they pleased. I wasn't feeling well and rested on the boat, but even then, the staff kindly checked on me, and I am very grateful for that. Afterward, we had a lot of fun with hamburgers, snacks, hula dancing, and more, creating wonderful memories (●´ω`●). I highly recommend this for honeymooners (♡ˊvˋ♡)!

This was my second time participating. When I woke up in the morning… it was raining! I hoped it would stop soon, and after about an hour and a half on the bus, we arrived at the boat dock. On the boat, I first enjoyed Leonard's "Malasada" and chatted with the staff while heading to the sandbar… Unfortunately, the rain didn't stop, but we were welcomed by sea turtles and pufferfish. We walked (or maybe strolled?) in the water up to our thighs and took lots of photos… Then, it was finally time for snorkeling. After receiving instructions on how to snorkel, we formed a line with the other participants and explored underwater. Despite the rain, we were lucky to see many fish. After that, it was lunchtime! Taking advantage of the staff's words, "You can have as many servings as you want!", I enjoyed delicious kalbi and fruits until I was full. At the end, when they asked, "Are there any repeaters?", I raised my hand and received a cute bag with Captain Bruce's logo. It was a fun and delicious tour, and I even got a souvenir, so I highly recommend this option. I definitely want to try it for a third time, and I hope for good weather. Thank you to Captain and the staff for their kindness.
2度目の参加です。朝起きると…なんと雨降り! すぐに上がってくれると期待しながら、バスに1時間半ほど揺られて船乗り場に到着です。 船上でまずレナーズの”マラサダ”をいただき、スタッフさんのおしゃべりを楽しみながらサンドバーへ… 残念ながら雨は止みませんでしたが、ウミガメさんとフグの歓迎を受けました。 太ももくらいまでの海を散歩(?)したり、写真をいっぱい撮ってもらったり… そして、いよいよシュノーケルです。シュノーケルの仕方の説明を受け、参加者で列を作って海の中を探検しました。 雨にもかかわらず、たくさんのお魚さんたちを見ることができラッキーでした。 その後、ランチタイム! 「何度でもお変りしていいよ!」のスタッフさんの言葉に甘え、おいしいカルビやフルーツなどお腹いっぱいいただきました。 最後に「リピーターさんはいますか?」と聞かれたので、手を挙げるとキャプテンブルースのロゴ入りのかわいいバッグをいただきました。 楽しくて、美味しいツァーの上、お土産までいただき、ほんとにお勧めのオプションです。 是非3度目も挑戦したいですが、天候に恵まれるといいなと思います。 キャプテンはじめ、スタッフさん、親切にしていただきありがとうございました。

I was looking forward to the blue sky and blue sea, but...
I was really disappointed by the terrible weather.
The rain and the extreme cold even made me feel unwell...
Later, when I was talking to a local taxi driver, he sympathized with me, saying it was unfortunate to go during a time of heavy rain that happens once every ten years.
Well, it was disappointing, but since it's nature, there's nothing we can do about it.
However, the staff must have been cold too, yet they worked hard to cheer us up by getting into the sea with bright smiles.
This time, the weather was the worst, but the tour itself was really great, and if I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to try again.
After all, it's a wonderful opportunity to experience such amazing nature.
This time I give it two stars, but if the weather had been good, it would have been five stars.
青い空、青い海を期待しての参加だったのに・・・
最悪の天気でガッカリでした。
雨と、あまりの寒さに体調までくずし・・・
後日、地元のタクシーの運転手と話しをしていたところ、10年に一度の大雨みたいな時に行くなんて残念だったね、と同情されました。
まあ、残念ではありましたが、これも自然相手なので仕方がないな、と思うしかありませんね。
しかしスタッフの人達も寒かったはずなのに、一緒に海に入り明るい笑顔で盛り上げてくれるなど一生懸命に頑張っておられました。
今回は、天気の都合で最悪でしたが、ツアー事態は大変良く、またハワイに行く機会が有りましたら、絶対再チャレンジしたいと思います。

I participated on October 16. I understand that the visibility in the water was not as good as I had expected and that there weren't many fish, which I attribute to the season and weather. However, during the underwater photography session, I had a very painful experience because I had to force my family of four together, and my hands and feet got caught in the scooter. Furthermore, despite paying $75 for the photos and videos, I am very disappointed that they have not yet been sent to me.
10月16日に参加させて頂きました。海中の透明度が思っていた程でなく魚達もそれほど多くはなかった事は、時期や天気に依るものと納得しています。が、水中撮影の時、家族4人を無理矢理寄せ集めた為に、手や足がスクーターに挟まれて非常に痛い思いをしました。更に、$75-も支払い写真&動画を購入したにも拘らず、未だに送られてこないのは非常に残念でなりません。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide you with satisfactory service.
As mentioned in a separate email, we have received reports that when operating the underwater scooter according to the instructor's instructions, hands and feet should not extend outside the scooter, thus preventing them from getting caught in other scooters. However, upon reviewing past tour experiences and photos, we found that some customers were operating the scooter with their hands and feet extended outside. To prevent this from happening again, we have requested the operating company to review their explanation of the correct way to ride the underwater scooter. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of explanation from the operating company.
Regarding the photos you purchased, as mentioned in a separate email, we have already sent them to the specified email address. Please check.
We take your feedback seriously and will work with the operating company to further improve our services in the future. Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

Had a great time on this excursion. Staff is fun and friendly. BBQ food was good. Got to see lots of turtles, had the privilege to snorkel with one. It was amazing. Saw lots of fish on the reef. Would recommend

This was my second time participating. Unfortunately, there were strong winds and passing rain this time, and I was worried about whether I could enjoy it, but I was able to have fun just like last time. The kind and enjoyable explanations in Japanese also made for a great time. The promised turtles had increased to two, which was delightful. The only disappointment was that there wasn't a low tide sufficient to expose the sandy area again, so I want to thoroughly research the low tide periods and plan my trip for next time.
2回目の参加でした。今回はあいにく強風と通り雨で、楽しめるのか心配しましたが、前回と変わらず楽しむことができました。親切で楽しい日本語での説明も楽しい時間でした。お約束の亀も二匹になっていて、楽しみました。残念なのは、今回も砂地が表れる程の干潮でなく、次回は干潮時期をしっかり調べて旅行を計画したい。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for joining us for the second time on the Paradise Ocean Tour. The condition of the sandbar is a natural phenomenon, so we won't know until that day and time... We hope you encounter an even more beautiful sandbar next time! We look forward to your participation.
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
2度目の天国の海ツアーご参加ありがとうございます。サンドバーの状態は自然現象なのでその日その時間になってみないと判らないのですが。。。次回はもっと美しいサンドバーに遭遇して頂けますように!ご参加お待ちしてますね。

As growing up on Kaneohe Bay, it was fun to come back and have this adventure. The crew was great and very virtuous.

Everyone, from a 6-year-old child to a man over 60, had a great time! Luckily, we also encountered a pod of dolphins and sea turtles, which was amazing!!
6歳の子供から60歳すぎのおじさんまで、みんな楽しめました!運がいいことに、イルカの群れとウミガメにも出会えて、最高でした!!

I participated with my elderly parents. I chose this tour from many available ocean tours because I wanted to show my parents, who had never interacted with wild dolphins, and I also wanted to swim with them.
It was also important whether the boat had a toilet. However, I thought it would be nice to have one, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.
First of all, I felt that you need to be physically fit. Using fins for the first time took a lot of energy. I had to work hard to swim and catch even a small chance to see the dolphins. The dolphins swam away quickly before I could even get used to snorkeling, and I was surprised at how fast the first encounter happened!
It reminded me of my time in sports club activities. It was such a feeling that when we finally saw the dolphins together, I was truly moved.
I thought I would invite my parents to experience the underwater world, but I felt a bit guilty thinking that if I struggled, they would too. However, it seemed they enjoyed themselves on the boat. They were excitedly saying things like, "There were dolphins with their babies!" and "I think I saw flying fish!" It made me happy to see my parents acting like children.
For snorkeling, I recommend the waters on the opposite side of Oahu Island rather than this side, so I wouldn't recommend this tour for that. However, if you have a strong desire to swim with dolphins, I hope you will build up your stamina and participate!
This tour was filled with the warm feelings of the staff who wanted everyone to see the dolphins. Thank you for having a dedicated photographer who captured wonderful memories of the trip. The price might be high, but I want to say thank you for creating lasting memories for me, as I felt this might be the last trip with my parents.
Thank you for taking such beautiful photos! My father and mother's best smiles were captured there!
年老いた両親とともに参加しました。野生のイルカに触れ合ったことのない両親に見せてあげたいという気持ちと、私が一緒に泳いでみたいという理由から数多くある海のツアーから選びました。
また船にトイレを備え付けているかも重要な点でした。しかし、これはあればなおよしぐらいな気持ちでよいかなと思います。
まず、体力ないと無理だと感じました。フィンを使うのが初めてだとまずそれに体力使いました。またほんの少しのチャンスに食らいつくために懸命に顔をつけて泳ぎます。スノーケルをつけて泳ぐのもならないままあっというイルカは泳ぎ去ってしまい最初のアタックはあっという間でびっくりしました笑
運動部の部活を思い出しました。そんな感じでしたのでみんなでイルカを見れたときにはほんとうに感動しました。
自分が体験して両親もできたら海の中は誘おうと思ってましたが、自分もこんな感じなのに無理だなと思い申し訳無い気持ちも起こりましたが、船の上ではそれはそれで楽しめていたようです。イルカが親子でいたよ!トビウオもいたみたいよ!などと子供のようにはしゃぐ親の姿が嬉しかったです。
シュノーケルするにはこちら側の海ではなくオワフ島の反対側の海がオススメなのでこのツアーはオススメしませんが、イルカと一緒に泳ぐぞ!って気持ちが強い方は是非体力つけて参加してほしいなと思います^^
皆んなにイルカを見せてあげたいって思うスタッフさんの暖かい気持ちが詰まったツアーでした。専属にカメラマンさんがいて旅の良い思い出も残してくれてありがとうございます。値段は高いかもしれませんが、もう両親とはこられない最後の旅となる気持ちの高かった私には残るものを作ってくれてありがとうと言いたいです。
写真綺麗にとってくださりありがとうございました!父や母の最高の笑顔がそこにありました!
ALOHA!! Thank you for participating in Dolphin Middle School this time! I hope the tour you attended with your parents became a wonderful memory. I would love for everyone to look back on those memories together with the photos. MAHALO!!
ALOHA!! この度はイルカ中学にご参加頂きありがとうございました! ご両親と一緒にご参加いただいたツアー、素敵な思い出になったのであれば幸いです。皆様でお写真と一緒に思い出を振り返っていただければと思います。MAHALO!!

This was my first time in Hawaii, and it was also my first experience using Veltra, but everything went smoothly, including the transfers! I think we saw about ten sea turtles. Additionally, we were lucky enough to spot a monk seal! It was a bit far away, so we could only see its head, but the staff was quite excited about it, too.
It rained a little, which allowed us to see a beautiful big rainbow, and I was very satisfied! I had researched the tide beforehand, but it was deeper than I expected, so we didn't walk on the sand.
It had been a while since I went snorkeling, and the waves were rough due to the strong winds over the past few days, but the staff guided us, and we were able to enjoy it safely. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!
今回初ハワイで、ベルトラも初めての利用でしたが、送迎等も問題なく楽しめました!
ウミガメウォッチングは10匹くらい見れたかもしれません。また、運良くモンクシールも顔を出してくれました!遠目だったので頭しか見えなかったですが、スタッフの方もかなり興奮されてました笑
雨もちょっと降ったため、大きな虹も見れ、大満足です!
潮位に関しては、事前に調べたものの、思ったより深くて砂場を歩くまではいきませんでした。
シュノーケルも久々で、また連日の強風で波も荒かったですが、スタッフが誘導してくださり安全に楽しめました。
また機会があれば参加したいです。

Our group of four "seniors" wanted to experience this unique water activity during our visit to Oahu. The underwater scooter adventure exceeded our expectations. The entire team from Bob's was very helpful to all of us onboard. They did a great job of communicating to not only those of us from the U.S. but were able to converse with the customers who were from Japan and needed communications in their native language.
We had been given appropriate safety briefings before heading out to the dive site. The outdoor temperature in mid October was in the mid 80s so not uncomfortable. The water temperature was a reasonable 75+ but we adapted to it as soon as we got into the water on the scooters.
The divers gave us appropriate underwater instructions to get us going and to set up the underwater photos for each person. We did have unusual trade winds that caused some bouncing and rolling in the boat but once in the water on the scooter or when snorkeling, it was mitigated. The water was clear and we had a variety of fish that swarmed around us as they were feeding on the food that the divers attached to the scooters. A unique feeling to have all of these colorful fish surrounding you in their environment.
We also had the opportunity to see a number of sea turtles both under water and coming to the surface. It would have been great to have had more time actually underwater but we only could accommodate 2 - 3 people underwater at one time. It probably would have been more enjoyable from the customer perspective with a few less onboard the boat.
Our group did take the opportunity to do some snorkeling after we completed our time on the underwater scooters. All in all a great time to remember and yes we did buy the photos especially for the video that was offered as well.
We have not been able to access our photos yet as we are still on vacation and will need to do so when we get home. Hopefully, they will be as delightful to watch as what we experienced

Thank you for participating in the tour.
We appreciate your kind words.
Next time, please make sure to prepare for seasickness (such as bringing motion sickness medication) and come swim with the sea turtles.
We would also love for you to share this experience with your friends in Japan.
We sincerely look forward to the day we can meet again.
Mahalo!

素敵なお言葉ありがとうございます。
是非次回は船酔い対策(酔い止めなど)をして、ウミガメさん達とも泳ぎにいらしてください。
また、日本のお友達にもぜひ教えてあげていただければと思います。
また会える日を心よりおまちしております。
