We made a last minute reservation for this morning snorkeling cruise and it was much better than I had expected! I went with my sister and my guide gave us an excellent tour around the north shore with his boat. My guide was wonderful & friendly, and he was kind to offer us water, towels and of course snorkel gears. He took us to a coral reef to snorkel where we saw a bunch of fish and we even saw a turtle at the end of the trip! I would definitely go again!

My family and I had such a wonderful experience! Captain Chris was awesome, so kind and found us a 14 foot tiger shark. It was so awesome. Then when we went snorkeling, we ran into an eel and lots of fish. It was a great morning and I recommend!

We had so much fun with captain Chris! We first went snorkeling by sharks cove and almost saw an eel. We saw some fish and had a blast. It was nice. Then we went shark sighting and saw a tiger shark! We saw a ton of dolphins and turtles as well. Great experience!

This activity took us past where the famous TV show lost was filmed.since I am a huge fan of that show it was very interesting to see the area which they filmed it. Then we saw quite a few pods of spinning dolphin that was very exciting to my grandchildren as they jumped into the air and spun around over and over again..After watching our guide do free diving we ran into a few eel and that was exciting to see. But the best part was when we went to a special area to see sharks and they were not just any shark it was a big 10 foot Tigershark I had never seen that it was quite a thrill. Our captain and his assistant were both very knowledgeable and very pleasant to be around, soft drinks water was included and we were able to take our very young grandchildren that were only two years old. The little town where the harbor is located is also a bonus. It has lots of little shops and wonderful food places to eat. So after our hour and a half tour we then walked around the town and had a delicious lunch. If you’re staying on the North Shore it’s only about 20 to 25 minutes to get to the harbor where you catch the boat. So all in all it’s a days full activity and something the entire family can do even the little ones. There is a cover on the boat what’s allows you to get in from under the rain, although we had pleasant weather we did not need to escape the weather

We couldn't have found a better way to explore the North Shore! My girlfriend and I went out on an afternoon cruise and had a blast! We saw lots of dolphins and even got to stop by a shark dive spot where we could see sharks from the boat! I have never seen as many different large sea animals in one boat ride, it was incredible! We stopped for a while and snorkeled in Waimea Bay which was amazing. We were able to take a bunch of cool underwater pictures and we even saw a turtle! The captain and crew are the friendliest in the Islands and are very passionate about sharing the culture and history of Hawaii. I really enjoyed this because for me, getting to learn about the places I visit really makes the experience so much more memorable. We can't wait to come back during whale watching season!

まず、実際に体験できたツアー内容から。
ツアー自体は天候にも恵まれ最高でした!貸切ボートという事もありキャプテンも色々なできることの提案をしてくださり我々の思っていた通りのアクティビティを体験する事が出来ました。
サンドバーは満潮の時間に重なっていたため残念ながらよく写真で見るような体験はできませんでしたがあらかじめわかっていたのでそこは我慢、でもそれなりに満喫はできました。
さすがベテランキャプテン、現地の海域を知り尽くしていてオススメのスノーケリングスポットに連れて行っていただき、そこではたくさんのウミガメと今まで体験した事ないくらい間近で泳いだり綺麗なサンゴ中でスノーケリングを小さな子供から年寄りまで家族全員で楽しめたりと最高の内容で終わる事ができました、キャプテンその他のクルーに感謝です!
ただし、この素晴らしい体験は英語でコミュニケーションを取ることに問題なければです!
ここが注意点!ツアーの申し込みでは全てが日本語で問題ないかのように書いてありますが以下僕の体験したトラブルです。
ホテルでのピックアップ時間になっても迎えの車が現れず。。。
頂いた日本語の旅程表見ると迎えがこない場合、直接現地ツアー会社に電話するようにと指示あり、ただし英語で!
数回電話しましたが留守番電話になるので英語にてメッセージを。
しばらくして電話がかかってきてとても親切に対応していただけました。
結局、ツアー会社のミスで我々びピックアップのアレンジができていなかったようでした。
ピックアップの予定時間を1時間過ぎてようやく現地ツアー会社の社長さん自ら迎えにきていただいて、『とても限られた時間内で楽しむためにわざわざ割高でもこのツアーを選んだこと、その後の予定も全部くるってしまたこと』を伝えた際にとても真摯に対応してくださいました。
現地ツアー会社のトラブル対応、ツアーの内容自体には『5つ星』です!!
でもこれはあくまで現地のツアー会社とのやりとり、全て英語での対応のみになるのでもしもVELTRAのうたっている全部日本語での対応を求めるとなるとこのツアーのうたい文句には改善の余地ありです。

まずは、ボートで数分走って、サンドバーを散歩しながら説明を聞いたり写真撮影などをします。
プライベートなので、人の少ない所に連れて行ってもらえるため、写真撮影では他の人が映らない景色をたくさん撮影することができました。そのあと、サンドバーの近くにあるシュノーケリングスポット(ちょうど水深が深くなるところ)に移動して、希望者はシュノーケルをしました。大きな魚がたくさんいました。
お腹がすいてきたので、船上でランチです。同じツアー会社の大人数を乗せる船も催行しており、そこで焼いたカルビやソーセージも頂き、最後は、ウォーターアクティビティーを楽しみました。3時間は長すぎるかと思いきやあっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎ去ってしまいましたが、非常によい思い出になりました。
昼食用のごはんや飲み物は、とっても美味しく満足のいく量があります。お酒を3缶持っていき、氷がたくさん入ったアイスボックスで冷やしてもらいもらえました。
シュノーケルセットは、透明度が高く海の中がくっきり見え、視力が弱くても海の中ではきれいに見えます。
6人いるなら絶対にプライベートボートがおすすめです。
さわやかで優しい日本人女性ガイドさんと、若々しく機転を利かせながらもてなしてくれるキャプテンの2名が、きめ細やかな対応をしてくださいました。写真もたくさん撮影してくださるし、子供のわがままにも応えてくれ(早く次に行きたい、あれがやりたいなど)ました。シュノーケルする前に、シュノーケリングの基本を教えてくださり、ガイドさんは常にライフセーバー用の浮き棒をもってシュノーケルのところまで一緒に来てくださるので、いつでも安心です。本当にどうもありがとうございました!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース貸し切りツアーご参加ありがとうございました。
Yumimin様のレポート、自分のところのツアーなのになんかドキドキワクワクして参加したくなっちゃいました(笑)。
またぜひ遊びにいらして下さいね。マハロ!

We booked the catamaran for our family and friends as a post wedding celebration. Now that I think about it, I’m surprised we all woke up to get on the boat!
Everything about this excursion was perfect! The captain and crew were friendly and swam in the water with us to help spot sea life. We ended up seeing a giant turtle and a lot of fish. I liked that they let us decide whether we wanted to snorkel more or spend more time at the sand bar more. We were allowed to bring our own food/drink (non alcoholic) and they brought us water and some snacks as well. I thought that we’d need more time out on the water as the time frame seemed short but it ended up feeling like just enough time. We had children, ages ranging from 7months to 7years and they had a blast. The only bummer was that the 7month old counted as a seat. But the company explained it was due to coast guard regulations.
I would recommend this experience to anyone!

あいにく潮の満ち引きの関係でサンドバーは浅瀬レベルでしたが、
日程が限られる旅行ですし、事前に教えていただいていたので問題ありません。
シュノーケリングは魚はあまり多いとは言えませんでしたが、これも
ツアーの問題ではなく、ハワイの状況だと思います。
ウミガメにも逢えたので参加者は満足でした。
ツアー会社さんは自社で船を持っているところと、
そうでない所があるようですが、

Our family did the private boat charter when on vacation in Oahu just a couple of weeks ago, after booking from the Internet and just hoping we would get a tour that we would not forget. We were not disappointed at all, not realizing this company catered largely for Japanese tourists we were so impressed with our charter. Our captain was just so friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome and was great fun too. We will certainly be coming back again one day and booking another charter and would highly recommend to anyone that wants to treat themselves to something special and spoil themselves on a captain Bruce charter. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Kind regards, the Hortons from Down Under !
