スタッフさんは親切でエンターテイナーですね。
最後まで楽しく過ごせました。
お天気も良く、シュノーケルの時スタッフさんが"前見て"と言うので見たら目の前に大きなホヌが、、
また参加したいと思います。

From the beginning the crew made us feel completely comfortable. The trip out to the sandbar was relaxing yet exciting at the same time as we looked back upon the shoreline admiring the greenery that the island presented. The sandbar was just breathtaking!!! It was so amazing to think that we were standing in the ocean on a beach....crazy! The cruise around afterwards presented not only some sea turtles, but two large schools of manta rays feeding on the surface.
Overall trip was completely enjoyable and we plan on bringing all of our friends and family when they visit!!!!
On a side note, parking is extremely difficult in/on the marina, so just park on the side of the highway (everyone does) and it's just a short walk to the boat.
Make this one of your excursions when you visit!!!!!

The team at Captain Bruce were very nice and accommodating and made it an overall really nice experience. This sandbar cruise was me and my boyfriend's favorite activity that we did during our visit. I liked that there was an option for transportation, so that made it easy to get to and from the destination without having to worry about directions and parking. Our driver was friendly as well and pointed out different local sights in different languages so that everyone could understand as well. There were many different groups of people and the crew made it comfortable for everybody to feel included. They provided drinks and snacks, and on the boat ride to the sandbar they gave some educational facts about the area and we saw turtles and other wildlife as well. When we got the the sandbar, there were plenty of paddleboards and floaties for us to use and we had more than enough time to enjoy the water. We got lots of pictures, had fun in the water and the views were great. I could tell that the others also had a fun time snorkeling too. On the way back, our driver even stopped for us to get some dessert as well. This would be an enjoyable experience for anybody, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family as well.
Thank you so much for this amazing review. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usually gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

I truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and deference of PCK Nautical's crew shown to me and my family member on the occasion of my mother's sea burial. The service was simple and respectful. The captain chose a beautiful quiet spot where I dispersed my mother's ashes followed by rose petals, plumeria and the orchids unstrung from our lei. I thank Min and the crew of PCK Nautical for helping fulfill my mother's last wishes to return to her island.
The Hondo is comfortable and mid-sized with many onboard spots from which to view the ocean and Diamond Head. We felt safe under the care of the captian and crew.

晴れていれば最高だったと思います。曇っていて寒かった。プログラムとスタッフはとても良かった。ハンバーガーも美味しかったし、スタッフも親切でした。サンドバーでバレーボールをして、シュノーケルでは今までで一番大きいホヌに会えて興奮しました。次回機会があれば、またこちらのクルーズを利用したいと思います。

The activity exceeded our expectations!
The crew did a get job explaining the rules, what to expect, and why. I felt safe and they included everybody and were interactive, very friendly and personable. This was my first time snorkeling, so I was a little nervous, but they put me at ease. It was truly amazing —-we got to see the giant sea turtles!!!
I also saw at least seven or eight different fish along the reef. And I even was swimming with beautiful school of fish below me!
I like the fact that they introduced us at the sandbar and let us get warmed up to snorkeling, and we had a game of volleyball before we went to the reef. They grilled hamburgers and had barbecued beans, and it was a delicious lunch!
all in all it was a great day, and a memory I will always cherish. I highly recommend this activity and tour to anybody going to Hawaii.

This was a perfect activity for our little family! It started to rain in the middle, but we still had a great time! Ended up with a beautiful rainbow! I would definitely recommend!
We are so happy the drizzles brought out a beautiful rainbow! Mahalo for sharing your review!

The boat ride was an amazing experience:) I didn’t know the only way to experience the Napali coast was by boat or helicopter. The views were magical and we got to take a lot of pictures of the sea cliffs up close. The whole experience had a magical few to it. We were able to snorkel and see turtles and many different types of fish. I was nervous about snorkeling but it turned out fine as long as you wear a yellow belt and don’t get caught in the current. I was able to take a bunch of pictures of the coastline, I also felt a spiritual energy. The guides were very informative about the Hawaiian spiritual practices and the different types of burials that were preformed in that region. I think you define get your money’s worth by going on this cruise. Each view is spectacular and picturesque. Also the lunch provided was flavorful and the chips were the best.

The staffs are very nice and professional. I booked the snorkeling + transportation package.
The driver Kaplan is so nice, he will introduce many hidden gem restaurants in Honolulu, and I tried the Yakitori restaurant right away after I finished the tour, the food is so good! Thanks to Kaplan.
For snorkeling, the staff will guide you when you are snorkeling all the time, for them safety is the priority. Also, they will provide some rice balls, energy bars, snacks, hot coffee, and fruits in the boat. You can always go by boat when you are tired.
Strongly recommendended!
Thank you so much for your kind words and sharing your experience with the Capt. Bruce tour. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!

Let's start with the boat - Fabulous & modern, a vessel to be admired. The captain and crew - freaking amazing, patient, kind, informative, went above and beyond. Took us right out to the sea turtles. It was a perfect day with perfect hosts and an experience we will never forget.

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Wir haben Delfine gesehen, durften die Kulisse der Napali Coast geniessen, waren Schnorcheln, sind in eine Höhle und unter einem Wasserfall durchgefahren. Die Gegend ist einfach traumhaft, der Ausblick auf die grünen Klippen, die Farben vom Wasser, die Abgeschiedenheit. Da könnte man locker den ganzen Tag verbringen.
Danke an die Crew von Kapitän Rob, das wir so etwas erleben nri

楽しかったので後悔はありませんが、全体を通して期待以上ではなかったなぁというのが正直な感想です。
■天候・時期・気温
4月上旬の晴れの日でしたが、風がとんでもなく強くて寒かったです。あごひものない帽子はとんでいく、ハンバーガーは野菜が吹き飛ばされるので甲板で食べるのは諦めたほどです。
ビキニの方もいましたが、日差しは日本の真夏以上に強いので、泳ぐときも長袖ラッシュガード長丈のレギンスが無難かなぁと思います。
また水からあがったあとは上から羽織れる長袖や毛布代わりになる大きなバスタオルは必須でした。とにかく寒いです。
■サンドバーについて
潮見表で干潮であることを確認して参加しました。
しかしくるぶしまでは水あったので、やはり島というよりは浅瀬ですね。
船は太もも丈くらいの水深に止まるので、みんな冷た~い!といいながら上陸していました。
浅瀬は日で暖められて温泉っぽくなっている部分もありますが、後が寒いのであまり泳ぐ方はいませんでした。
スタッフさんが設置してくれるビーチバレーはそこそこ盛り上がっていましたが、やはり風で流されるのでやりにくそうでした。日本人は参加していなかったかも。
クアロアなど雄大な山や風景を背に写真を撮れるのでそれは開放的で良かったです。ちなみに当たり前ですが海風が激しいのでウユニ塩湖のような空が写る水面は全く期待できません。
サンドバーは珊瑚がくだけてできた洲で、珊瑚のかけらがたくさん落ちており眺めるのは楽しいですが、裸足で歩くのは痛いです(現地のスタッフさんはバリバリ裸足でしたが真似はできませんでした(^-^;))。
アクセサリーを落とす人が多いと案内があったので、そもそも身につけないほうがよいでしょう。
水中カメラを持っていきましたが、サンドバーに関しては防水カバーにいれたスマホで十分間に合ったなと感じました。
個人的には石垣島の幻の島ツアーの方が国内だけど似た雰囲気でちゃんと“島”だし寒くなかったので、そちらの方が好きでした。
■船上からのウミガメウォッチング
珊瑚礁の浅瀬で息継ぎをするウミガメを船上から眺められます。結構な数が見られ、船のすぐ近くにも来てくれてスマホでも十分写真が取れました。
カプッと口をあけて息継ぎするウミガメはかわいかったです。
■船上BBQ
船の上で焼いたハンバーガーを食べることができます。しっかり焼かれたハンバーグはカリッと香ばしくておいしかったです。サイドメニューに煮豆や果物などもありました。小さいサイズのチップスも2種類用意してあり(Doritosとレイズでした)一袋はお土産に持ち帰りました。ありがたかったです。
ただ、前述の通り風が強くて甲板では食べるのはハードモードでした。
■シュノーケリング
珊瑚礁の塊の周りの浅瀬でシュノーケリングです。
ライフジャケット、足ヒレ、フロート(棒状の浮き)の
3種類を個人の技量にあわせて選べます。泳ぎに自信のない方は3種類ある方が安心でしょう。
私は寒さ対策的な意味でもライフジャケット必須だと感じました。
珊瑚礁に船が固定されると甲板の真ん中に海への階段が降ろされるので、降りたら即海です。自信のある方は別の場所から飛び込んでもいいと案内がありましたが誰もチャレンジはしていませんでした笑
入ってしまえば案外寒さには慣れましたが、長く水に浸かっている手足がかじかんでくる感覚がありやはり寒かったです。
珊瑚礁の隙間にウミガメが隠れていることがあるとのことでしたが、この日は残念ながら出会えませんでした。熱帯魚はそれなりにいましたがちょっと物足りなかったです。
ちなみにBBQの時のバンズを残しておくか、あまりがあれば少しもらってくると熱帯魚が食べに来るのでおすすめです。
装備を着用して順番に海におりるまでそれなりの時間がかかるためシュノーケリングの時間が少し短かったのも物足りない要因のひとつだったかなと思います。狭いエリアに人が密集するので泳ぎにくさも感じました。
シュノーケリング後に暖かいコーヒーや紅茶を出してもらえてありがたかったです。
■その他全体
送迎バスは現地の方のようで、名簿の名前を呼ばれる以外は日本語の説明はありません。
船上では日本語のスタッフさんがついてくれて、しっかりと説明をしてくれるので安心でした。最初に英語の人は甲板に、日本語の人は船内に、といったように場所移動をアナウンスしてくれるので遠すぎて聞き取れないといったこともないので安心です。
映画のロケ地などの説明もしてくださって楽しかったです。
BBQも含め、スタッフの方のサービスレベルはかなり高いと思います。

娘と二人で参加!
日本人のスタッフさんが、説明等をしてくれたので安心でした。写真も沢山撮って頂きました!ランチも美味しいハンバーガーを頂きました。
ウミガメも見れましたし、サンドバーもとても綺麗!
スノーケリングは、10歳の娘が初体験でしたが、全く問題なく、初めてのスノーケリングで沢山の魚を見れて、感動していました!
一つ残念なのは、かなり風が強くて寒さを感じました。
参加される時は、念のため、タオルや上着は、もう一枚プラスでも良いかもしれません。

We had an enjoyable day out. The weather wasn’t very favourable but the team still did an outstanding job. Lunch was cooked fresh and was very nice. We didn’t snorkel but looks like all had a great time.
The only thing I would change is we had 2 boats tied together and it made for a lot of flippers in the water, looked very crowded around the reef. I’m saying that, the team always kept their eyes on the job and communicated together at all times.
Great job done by all.

サンドバーも曇り時々シャワーであまりきれい見えず、寒くて雨模様。スノーケリングも少し濁りがあり余り魚に会えなかった。6日目が悪天候、少し残念ですがクルーの方は、一生懸命楽しませてくれました。
