サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

I saw a lot of honu (sea turtles)! ホヌ(ウミガメ)たくさん見れた!

Reviewed by: ちゃーまん

I went in January this year as well, but I thought, "Is this really a sandbar?" because the water was so deep that I couldn't see any honu (sea turtles). So, I decided to make a comeback in July, which is the recommended season. I checked the tide graph and participated with high expectations, but I was a bit disappointed upon arrival... The water level was somewhat shallower than in January, but it was still up to my waist, and I couldn't see any sandy beach at all. Nevertheless, the staff really got everyone excited, and I had a decent time. At first, I borrowed a SUP and played around.

In the second half, we formed a line with the participants for snorkeling. And there they were! Sea turtles! So many of them!! My excitement skyrocketed! It was more than just fun; I was a little moved!

On the boat, they provided spam onigiri (one per person), snacks, hot coffee, cocoa, and juice, so you can eat and drink while moving. The staff were all very cheerful and fun people. I'm glad I participated! It can get quite cold during the shuttle bus and boat rides, so it might be better to have long sleeves...

今年の1月にも行ったのですが、ここがサンドバー?って思うほど水深がありホヌも見れなかったので、おすすめシーズンの7月にリベンジしました。
タイドグラフも確認し、期待しながらの参加でしたが、到着時はちょっとがっかり...多少は1月よりは浅かったですが、それでも腰ぐらいまでは潮位があり砂浜は全く見れませんでした。それでもスタッフの方たちが、色々盛り上げてくれてて、まぁまぁ楽しめました。最初はSUPを借りて遊んでいました。
後半は参加者で列をつくってシュノーケリング。いるんですね!ウミガメって!たくさん!!テンション爆上がりでした!楽しかったを超えて、少し感動しました!
船内では、スパムおにぎり(ひとり1つ)、スナック、ホットコーヒー、ココア、ジュースなど置いてあるので、移動中など飲食できます。
スタッフの方も皆さんとても明るく、楽しい方たちでした。参加して良かったです!
送迎バスや船移動中は結構寒いので、長袖はあったほうが良いかも...

3-Hour Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Morning Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical

It was OK -- crowded

Reviewed by: Scuba Steve Sr.

I've been on many catamaran snorkel trips on different Hawaiian islands over the years, this one was just OK compared to the others. The things that brought the experience down a bit for my family were the number of people on the boat, it was very crowded, the way food was handled (you're paying handsomely for some chips and a pretty bland sandwich -- they ask you what you want when you sign up for the boat but on the boat it's a free-for-all, so you might end up with something you didn't want or pay for), and lastly (and again) the number of people on the boat. The first 15 minutes of snorkeling was just spent trying to get away from everyone else so you didn't get kicked in the face or torpedoed by some mid-westerner trying to play aquaman by diving under the water and surfacing right into your abdomen. So yeah, it was OK -- wouldn't do it again for the price though.

I was able to see sea turtles up close! The cost performance is unbeatable! 海亀が間近で見れました!コスパ最強♪

Reviewed by: かものはし

We participated as a couple, and although we don't speak much English, it wasn't a problem at all. The reservation confirmation emails were all in English, but with Google Translate, we were able to understand the meeting location perfectly. We took the bus from our hotel in Waikiki to the nearest stop and walked about five minutes to the port. (By the way, a local Japanese person informed us that Google Maps provides the most accurate bus schedules and stop locations, and they were right—it was very convenient.)

The boat is named Moana, and there is a tour sign in front of the boat, making it easy to find. However, as others have mentioned, we had to wait about 20 minutes from the meeting time, which made us a bit anxious. (Most participants arrived more than 15 minutes late. Is it just Japanese people who are punctual? Haha.)

Once the tour started, the explanations were only in English, but I understood that we shouldn't go to the back of the boat, we should keep a certain distance if turtles approach, and when the staff called out "Moana," we should board the boat. I could only understand these points, but it wasn't a problem at all.

We were able to see many turtles up close! There were also five or six other tour boats in the same area, with dozens of people entering the water, so it was a bit challenging to swim without bumping into others. However, there were plenty of turtles to see, and it was adorable to watch them come up to the surface for air. We also saw several types of fish.

Just keep in mind that it wasn't the colorful small fish swarming around the coral that you might typically imagine with snorkeling; it was primarily a turtle-focused tour, so it's best to go with that understanding.

Similar tours with Japanese-speaking staff seem to cost around $120, but if the content is not significantly different, I think this tour is a great deal.

Overall, we were very satisfied!

夫婦で参加し、英語はほぼできませんがほとんど問題ありませんでした。
予約連絡メールもすべて英語ですが、Google翻訳でしっかり集合場所も分かるので、ワイキキのホテルからザバスで最寄りまで行き、港を5分ほど歩いて到着しました。(ちなみに、ザバスの時刻表やバス停の場所はGoogleの経路検索が一番正確だと現地の日本人に教えていただき、その通りですごく便利でした。)
モアナという名前の船で、船の前にツアーの看板も出てるのでわかりやすいです。
ただ、他の方も書いているように集合時間から20分ほど待たされたので少々不安にはなりました。(そもそも参加者もほとんど15分以上遅れてきました。時間守るのは日本人ぐらいなんでしょうか?笑)

ツアーが始まってからも英語のみの説明ですが、船の後ろには行かないこと、亀が近づいてきても一定の距離を取ること、スタッフが「モアナー」と呼び込みかけたら船に上がること、ぐらいしか理解できなかったですが何ら問題なかったです。

実際に亀を間近でたくさん見れました!
他のツアーの船も5,6隻同じ同じ場所でそれぞれ数十人が海に入るので人にぶつからないように泳ぐのが少し大変ですが、何匹も亀がいるのでしっかり見ることができました。海面に息継ぎに上がってくるのが可愛かったです。
他にも数種類のお魚も見ることができました。

ただ、よくシュノーケルでイメージする色とりどりの小魚が珊瑚に群がるような感じではないので、あくまで亀主体のツアーという理解で行かれた方が良いです。

日本語スタッフがいる類似ツアーは120ドルするようですが、もしも内容にあまり差がないようならとてもお得だと思いました。

全体的には満足です!

Waikiki Guided Beach Snorkeling Tour for Beginners with FREE Photos & Videos

Fun, great for beginners!

Reviewed by: AJ Travels

Cons: Location wasn’t too clear, better signage in the future would be great.

Buoyant donut was too small for the amount or people, so lots of bumping and kicking, including from the trainer. A bigger float donut would be perfect.

Water was murky, but not much can be done about that. Maybe a heads up from the diver if they have an indication of the water condition before hand would help.

Pros: Diver was great in making sure that we got to see a few fish. He also dove down to grab some of the water life and we got a chance to hold them in our hands.

We brought our own snorkel and mouth piece, and diver was very helpful in making sure it was secure to their masks.

Diver was very knowledgeable and got us checked out with our photos and videos in hand very quickly.

Definitely recommend this for super beginners!

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Great tour

Reviewed by: Allie

We did an afternoon tour of the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and loved it. The water was chest deep in some spots and above our heads in other spots. I believe it was high tide. The sandbar is gorgeous and was a must see for us. What made this great was the helpful and friendly demeanor of the staff along with the live music. They had a lifeguard in the snorkeling area which made us feel safe. There was plenty of gear to borrow and things to do: snorkeling, volleyball, kayak, SUPs, footballs to throw around, and swimming. We are so glad we did this tour and would do it again.

This time, we chose the heavenly sea for the end of our trip. Since we wanted a private experience, we opted for the lounge port. It was pure bliss to enjoy such an amazing view with just our family, without worrying about other people. The captain was handsome, and it seems my daughters had a great time for a different reason. I definitely want to go for a private experience again next time.

今回は旅の最後に天国の海を選びました。どうせなら貸し切りと思い今回ラウンジポートを選びました。ゆっくり人を気にせずあんな最高の景色を家族だけで楽しめて幸せの絶頂でした。キャプテンがイケメンで娘達は興奮して違う意味で楽しかったみたいです。又次も貸し切りで行きたいと思います。

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾 シュノーケリングツアー <英語ガイド/食事付き>

Keaau Bay, Hawaii Island - Snorkeling Tour ハワイ島ケアラケク湾 シュノーケリングツアー

Reviewed by: バドミントン

I visited two places. The first beach didn't have many fish and the water was cold, so it might be fine to just go to one place. The second spot, Kealakekua Bay, had both coral and fish, which was great. The food was good too. The water temperature was higher here, so I think it would have been difficult if it were the other way around.

2か所行きました。最初の海はあまり魚がいなくて、水が冷たかったので、1か所だけでもいいかもしれません。2か所目ケアラケクア湾は珊瑚も魚もいて良かったです。料理も良かったです。水の温度もこっちの方が高かったので、逆だったら無理だと思います

Although the weather was cloudy with occasional rain and the tide was somewhat high (around 1 meter at the sandbar), I believe it was not the best climatic condition. However, thanks to the cheerful and warm-hearted staff, the captain's performance, and the adorable marine creatures we encountered, we added a wonderful page to our memories of our first trip to Hawaii!

I participated with my wife and our children, aged 4 and 8, and our whole family was able to enjoy the activities with peace of mind from our respective positions.

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Sandbar Tour

Reviewed by: Tony

This was probably the best tour we went on during our trip. The snorkeling was arguably better than Hanauma Bay. There were less fish, but the corals were in way better shape and the water was a lot calmer. I probably spent most of my time just snorkeling. The kayaks and paddle boards were alright. There isn’t much to do on them so I didn’t really spend much of my time on those. I saw mostly a parent and their kids riding the kayaks. There is a platform in the middle that you can hang out in. The food was good, but I suggest bringing extra snacks as I got a little hungry after hanging out at the sandbar. For drinks they only served beer and hard seltzers, but they gave you the option to bring your own if you’re into that. We were there during high tide so there wasn’t much to stand on, but you can still get your feet on the sand in some parts. We opted for the banana boat and bumper tube and this probably was my favorite part. Banana boat was okay, but the bumper tube ride was insane. I got the opportunity to ride solo on one of the runs and I asked them to give me the crazy ride, and man did they deliver. BIG shoutout to the guy towing the tube. The staff was awesome and super accommodating. They let everyone have fun while keeping it safe. Definitely the best experience out of all the other ones we did in Oahu (cruise, Kualoa ranch, hanauma bay, shark swimming). Would recommend and is a 100% must do in my opinion.

ハワイ島 ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー 滑り台や飛び込み台完備の船で行く!<午前・午後/英語ガイド/食事付>by フェアウィンド号

It was so much fun! とにかく楽しかったです!

Reviewed by: まーさん

We participated as a family of three, including our third-grade daughter. Since we were staying in the Waikoloa area, we drove to the meeting point in a rental car. It was quite a distance (about 40 to 50 minutes), but we enjoyed the drive. Along the way, we spotted some wild goats, which delighted our child.

The boat was quite rocky, but it seemed that no one was seasick. However, for those who are worried about seasickness, I recommend taking some medication beforehand. There were only two other Japanese families besides us among the participants, with the rest being Korean and Westerners. The staff only spoke English, but they provided a written notice in Japanese, so as long as you can speak a little English, it shouldn't be a problem.

The boat had two slides, which our daughter was really looking forward to, but we were surprised when we arrived! The slide's starting point was on the second floor of the boat, and the end of the slide was about three meters above the water surface, so it felt like you were almost falling into the sea. I was too scared to try it myself.

You can also dive or jump off the boat, which can be done from both the second and first floors. Snorkels and fins are available for rent, as well as life jackets or something like floaties. Since it was our daughter's first time snorkeling, she initially borrowed a bodyboard with a bottom window. As she got used to the water, she expressed a desire to try snorkeling on her own, so we rented a tube float, a child-sized snorkel, and fins, and enjoyed snorkeling together.

There was also a small child, about two years old, enjoying the sea on a board, so I think people of a wide range of ages can enjoy this activity. On the way back, snacks were provided. The snacks included taro chips and cut pineapple, and drinks included water, but for those who wanted, soft drinks could be purchased for one dollar, and alcoholic drinks were also available for a price I can't remember.

小3娘と夫婦の家族3人で参加しました。
私たちはワイコロアエリアに宿泊していたので、集合場所まではレンタカーで向かいました。
集合場所まではかなりの距離(40〜50分ほど)がありましたが、それもドライブと思い楽しみました。途中、野生のヤギを見かけたりして、子供は喜んでいました。
船は結構揺れますが、船酔いしている人はいなかった様です。ただ、船酔いが心配な方は酔い止めを飲んだ方がいいと思います。
参加者は日本人は私たちの他に2組ほど。あとは、韓国系の方や欧米系の方々でした。スタッフは英語しか通じません。でも、日本語で書かれた注意書きを貸してくれるので、専門的な英語は分からなくても多少の英語が話せれば問題ないです。
2台のすべり台が付いている船ということで、娘はとても楽しみにしていましたが、着いてびっくり!なんと、船の2階部分がすべり台の乗り場になっていて、すべり台の終わりがなんと海面からおよそ3メートルほども上なので、ほぼ海面に落ちるという感じです。
さすがに、怖くて私もできませんでした。
あとは、船からダイブというかジャンプしたりもできます。これは、船の2階からでもできるし、1階からもできます。
シュノーケルとフィンは貸し出してくれます。ライフジャケットか浮き輪のようなものも貸してくれます。娘は初めてのシュノーケルだったので、はじめは底窓付きのボディーボードのようなものを借りました。海に慣れてくると、自分でもシュノーケルをやってみたいと言い出したので、チューブ浮き輪と子供用シュノーケルとフィンを借りて、一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。
2歳くらいの小さな子もボードで海を楽しんでいましたので、幅広い年齢の方が楽しめると思います。
帰りにスナックが出されます。スナックはタロ芋チップスとカットパイナップル、飲み物は水が含まれますが、希望者は1ドルでソフトドリンク、値段は忘れましたがアルコールドリンクも買えます。

I was able to try SUP, which I had always wanted to do, and I saw many fish while snorkeling (although I didn't get to see any sea turtles…). For snacks, there were donuts, and the soft drinks available were water, orange juice, and hot water. There is a changing room on the boat, so it's better to bring a change of clothes. You will end up freezing on the air-conditioned bus ride back.
It seems that you need to go with a different tour company to visit the so-called sandbar (a beach surrounded by the sea). The area we played in was shallow enough to stand, but it was a bit deeper in some spots.

とにかく綺麗な海で感動しました。ワイキキの主要ポイントへの送迎があり、船には日本人のガイドさんも乗っていたので説明も十分にしていただき安心して楽しめました。ずっとやってみたかったSUPもできたし、シュノーケリングではたくさんの魚が見れました。(ウミガメには会えませんでした…)軽食にはドーナツ、ソフトドリンクは水、オレンジジュース、お湯がありました。船の中に更衣室があるので着替えを持っていったほうがいいです。凍えながら冷房の効いたバスで帰ることになります。
いわゆるサンドバー(海に囲まれた砂浜)は別のツアー会社じゃないといけないみたいです。我々が遊んだ海は足がつくけどちょっと深めのところでした。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the SUP and snorkeling. The location we took you to was a sandbar, which appears during low tide, so the visibility and water depth can vary depending on the tide. Unfortunately, it seems that the water level was a bit deep on the day of your visit. Next time, please be sure to check the tide chart before joining us. Best regards from all the KBOS staff.

この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。SUPやスノーケルを楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思っております。当社のツアーがお連れしたところもサンドバーなのですが、サンドバーは引き潮の時に現れますので潮位によって現れる時と水深が深い日もあります。当日は残念ながら少し水位が深かったようですね、、次回は是非事前にタイドグラフ(潮見表)をチェックしてご参加してみてください。KBOS スタッフ一同

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Great way to start your morning off with a fun excursion!!

Reviewed by: Marie

This is probably one of the best excursions we’ve done in Hawaii as it includes snorkeling, paddle boarding and canoes all in one price. At an additional charge we added tubing and banana boat for children and they loved it. We did the morning excursion and that includes donuts and punch which is a sugar overload, I would suggest bringing breakfast/snacks. We all had a great time

Reviewed by: ねむ

Not only on the boat, but I was also able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. It was cloudy and the sea was cold that day, but I was able to enjoy it, and it became a wonderful memory.

船上だけでなくシュノーケリングの時にもうウミガメを見ることができました。
当日は曇っていて海は寒かったですが、楽しむことができ、とても良い思い出になりました。

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ バナナボートなど選べるプラン 海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック アルコール購入可 <午前・午後/日本語クルー>

The staff's service was excellent! スタッフさんたちの対応が最高でした!

Reviewed by: FF

Just before getting on the banana boat, the children were scared of falling into the sea, but the staff noticed this and drove at just the right speed (fast enough, but without sudden turns or creating waves). By the end of the banana boat ride, the children were all smiles and very happy.

During snorkeling, another staff member casually chatted with the children, who were nervous about their first snorkeling experience, using a friendly Kansai dialect (they were a local). This helped ease their tension.

Thanks to this, we were able to create wonderful memories for the whole family.

バナナボートに乗る直前で、こどもたちが海に落ちることを怖がってしまったのですが、それを察知したスタッフさんが、ちょうど良い加減の運転(スピードはそこそこあるものの、急に曲がったり波を立てるような運転はしない)をしてくれて、バナナボートが終わるころにはこどもたちは笑顔で大喜びでした。
シュノーケリング時には、はじめてのシュノーケリングに緊張しているこどもたちに対して、別のスタッフさんが気さくに(関西弁でw 現地の方ですがww)話しかけてくれて、緊張をといてくれました。
おかげで、家族全員にとって楽しい思い出にすることができました。

Hawaii Manta Ray Sunset & Night Time Snorkel Experience from Kona - Iruka

So much fun and extremely memorable! Definitely a bucket list item for the Big Island!

Reviewed by: Rose B

This was my first time snorkeling with manta rays, so I was a little apprehensive. But the crew members were reassuring and had a "chill" attitude that put me at ease. They also explanined everything very well. Also, expect that you might not see manta rays right away. I think it took almost a half hour before they appeared in our area of the bay. But overall, this was so much fun as seeing these otherworldly creatures up close was amazing!
