Mommy daughter trip was the best. This trip is perfect for kids. Plenty of excitement and they move at their own pace. She loved swimming at the Sandbar and watching the sea turtles. We took photos and slashed around. The best was the snorkeling. It was easy for her to learn with practice at the Sandbar. The hot chocolate and Funyuns chips were delicious. Highly recommend for kids of all ages.

We participated as a family. During snorkeling, we were able to see the coral reefs and fish up close. We also rode kayaks together as a family, and although it was optional, we got to experience the banana boat, which made the kids very happy. We created wonderful memories as a family and would like to participate again next time.
家族で参加させて貰いました。
シュノーケリングではまじかで珊瑚礁と魚を見ることができ、家族で一緒にカヤックに乗ったり、オプションですが、バナナボートも体験することができ、子供達も大喜び。家族での良い思い出ができ、次回も参加したいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that it became a wonderful memory for your family. All of us at the staff look forward to the day we can meet again at the sandbar. From all the KBOS staff.

We were the only Asian participants.
You will receive an email asking for signatures regarding participation in advance, so make sure to fill it out for all participants. We attended as a pair, but I forgot to fill out one person's information, so we had to do it on the day of the event.
Also, at the meeting point, it seems that another tour group gathers at the same time, so it's safer to confirm that you are in the right group. (At first, we went to where people were gathering, and since our names weren't called, we confirmed and found out it was a different tour.)
It was okay not to speak English. I couldn't catch most of what was said because it was fast, but the staff were cheerful and kind, so it worked out.
Sunscreen is available on the ship, so it's fine if you forget it. You shouldn't expect much from breakfast. The cookies were very delicious.
The service was good, but the sea wasn't as beautiful as I expected, so I give it 4 stars.
アジア系の参加者は、私達だけでした。
事前に参加についてのサインを求めるメールが来るので、参加者全員分を書きましょう。
2人で参加しましたが、1人分書き忘れてしまったため、当日書くことになりました。
また、集合場所では、別のツアーも同時に集まっているようなので、間違いないか確認した方が無難です。(最初、人が集まっているところに行き、名前が呼ばれなかったので確認したところ、別のツアーでした)
英語は、話せなくても大丈夫でした。
早くて何言っているかほとんど聞き取れませんでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが明るく、優しいので、何とかなります。
日焼け止めは船内にあるので、最悪忘れても大丈夫です。
朝食はあまり期待しない方が良いでしょう。

I participated with my 7-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but the boat didn't sway much, and since it was only about a 15-minute ride, there was no problem at all.
The sandbar had knee-deep seawater, which was disappointing, but the snorkeling was the best! We enjoyed it even more than Hanauma. It was great to see many sea turtles, from large ones to small baby turtles. We all talked about how we wish we had more time for snorkeling...
7歳の子供を連れて参加しました。船酔いを心配しましたが、船が大きく揺れる事もなく、また片道15分ほどであったので全く問題ありませんでした。
サンドバーは膝丈程の海水があり残念でしたが、何よりシュノーケルが最高でした!ハナウマよりも満喫しました。大きなウミガメから、小さい子供のウミガメまで沢山見られた事がとても良かったです。シュノーケルの時間がもっとあったら良いのに…と家族全員で話しています。

It's better not to expect shallow waters.
There were plenty of activities, so it was fun. The staff provided explanations in Japanese, live performances, and meals, which made the experience very fulfilling.
The seating is assigned, and you leave your belongings in that space when going to the sea. In case of theft, there are surveillance cameras. If you're concerned, it's better to secure your belongings with a lock.
One slight disappointment was that I rode the banana boat with my spouse, and since we were together, we couldn't take a photo. When I asked if we could at least get a photo at the moment we boarded, they declined. I thought it would have been better not to do it if we couldn't capture the memory.
I forgot my sunglasses on the return bus, and when I contacted the support center, they delivered them to my hotel. They also provided assistance in Japanese.
浅瀬になることを期待しないほうがいいです。
アクティブティが沢山あったので楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も日本語の説明や、生の演奏、食事もあったのでとても充実はしました。
席は決まっていて、荷物はそのスペースに置いて海に行きます。
万が一、盗まれた場合は監視カメラがあるそうです。不安な方は荷物に鍵を付けた方がいいです。
少し残念なのが、バナナボートに乗ったんですが。夫婦で乗ってしまったら撮れないので、乗る瞬間だけでも、写真頼めないですかと言ったら、断られました。写真に残らないなら、やらなければ良かったと思いました。
帰りのバスにサングラスを忘れて、サポートセンターに問い合わせたら、ホテルまで届けにきてくれました。こちらも日本語対応ありました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations with the banana boat photos. The tide levels change daily, and there is a link on our site where you can check the tide information, so please aim to join us on a day with shallow waters next time. We look forward to seeing you!

I participated in a snorkeling tour. It started with being picked up at the hotel, and everything went smoothly, allowing me to enjoy snorkeling at Hanauma Bay comfortably.
There were about 10 participants, and having two guides who spoke Japanese made me feel at ease.
The view at Hanauma Bay was amazing. Compared to the coral reefs in Japan (like Okinawa), the fish swimming there were larger and more dynamic.

very disappointed! $140 is way too much. We also paid extra $20 for lunch - and only got a sandwich with 2 pieces of pineapple - I mean this is a SNACK not a Lunch actually..
We were also only allowed to kayak in a certain tiny room. So we basically drove in circles and could not explor the beautiful sandbar - wow. So It would be cheaper if we had rent the kayak by our own!!
Too expensive - would rather pay the half of the price or less, but definitely not more!

It was really cold. I couldn't stay in the sea for even five minutes. The wind was strong, and the weather wasn't good.
I heard from relatives in Kaneohe that summer weather has a cycle, and during our time, there were just a few days with a lot of wind, clouds, and showers.
It seems that the sandbar is not often visible; we couldn't see it at all this time. The water was up to my chest, and the waves were strong. When I got on the free kayak, I was swept away immediately, and it was scary.
If possible, I would like to make a reservation while checking the weather on-site.
The crew members were very kind and warm. My mother had a hard time with seasickness, but we are grateful for their heartfelt support.

Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform
Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

I love dolphins and was thinking about them all the time, but I found out just before my trip to Hawaii that I could see manta rays, and I really wanted to see them! So, I made a reservation.
My father has difficulty seeing, and since it was at night, I was very worried. However, thanks to the person who corresponded with me via email beforehand and especially the support from Tamae on the day of the tour, my family, including my father, had an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.
From the moment I peered into the water, manta rays came to us in droves, and I was so excited! I was mesmerized by their graceful swimming. After the tour ended, our family couldn't stop talking about the manta rays.
I also can't forget the sunset we saw from the boat and the magical sky when I turned around while watching the manta rays.
There were many worries, but they provided solid support, so I hope those who are anxious will definitely consider joining.
I'm sure a wonderful experience awaits you!!!♡
イルカが大好きでイルカのことばかり考えていましたが笑、マンタが見られることをハワイ渡航の直前に知り、ぜひ見たい!!!!と思い、予約しました。

That said my 18 and 13 year olds grew tried of it (sigh ) and chose to jump from the different levels of the boat into the water. (The highest level really is quite high!) The excursion was long enough for them to get tires of that and go back out for more snorkeling! The guides were great too. They provided some history behind what we were seeing ranging from the local traditions to the arrival of Captain Cook.

It is located just a short boat ride from the port. The activity is divided into two parts: we first enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in shallow waters, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. I had imagined a sandy beach during low tide, but since we went during high tide, we paddled in shallow waters that were about knee-deep for adults. We let the little ones ride on a small boat float (as shown in the posted photos) and pulled them around for fun. However, the snorkeling part goes quite deep, so while we wore life jackets, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not accustomed to snorkeling. In the end, we put the kids on a ZAYAK, but it didn't provide the stability we expected. Nevertheless, there is a good chance of seeing sea turtles. It would have been better if they had provided a more stable see-through boat float for the kids. Also, the water temperature in the morning is a bit on the cooler side.
港から船ですぐに着くところにあります。2部構成ではじめは浅瀬をSUPで楽しみ、後半はシュノーケリングでした。干潮時の砂浜を想像していましたが、満潮時に行ったので、大人の膝上程度の浅瀬でSUPをしました。小さい子は小さいボートフロート(投稿写真)に乗せて、引っ張りまわして遊びました。しかしながら、後半のシュノーケリングの方は、かなり深いところまで行きますので、ライフジャケットをつけていますが、シュノーケリングに慣れていない子供には少しレベルが高いかと思います。結局、子供をZAYAKに乗せましたが、こちらも思ったようには安定せず。しかしながら、ウミガメが結構な確率で見られます。
子供用にもう少し安定感のあるシースルーボートフロート等を貸してくれたらもっと良かったかもしれません。あと、午前中の便は少し海水温が低めです。

This was my first time participating in seven years, and this time I brought my children aged 2, 5, and 9. The parasol we rented couldn't be used due to strong winds. Well, that was the same as seven years ago.
I really wanted my 9-year-old son to succeed at snorkeling, but he got scared and gave up.
I think the shuttle service was around $45 seven years ago, but now the price is almost double.
Overall, I felt it wasn't suitable for families with small children, but since this is our family's situation, I will give it 4 stars.

Most of the crew was nice and friendly. When we signed up for this tour, the two activities my group and I were looking forward to were the Banana Boat and BUmper Tube. However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.

This boating adventure was a fun day for our 3 generational family of 15 people ages 8 to 70. The crew was friendly and very helpful, and even had a table reserved for us so that we could all sit together on the way out to the sandbar. The music was exceptional with professional musicians...ukulele and singing. The boat is big and holds a lot of people comfortably. When we got to the sandbar, we were a bit disappointed that they required everyone to wear a life jacket, and there was no deep water snorkeling. I have been out to this area a few years earlier with a different company that took us to a beautiful snorkel area that I had hyped up to my family, so it was a disappointment that his was not the same place. That is the only reason it is not the highest rating. But we soon got over it, and enjoyed a shallow snorkel, and found that the life jackets worked quite well for the shallow water adventure. The snorkel disappointment was made up for by the kayaks, sups, and volleyball play on the sandbar. The weather cooperated that day, and everyone had a blast. We would do it again, although not it was not really a snorkel boat. Many thanks to the staff and crew for all of their efforts.
