I was supposed to be snorkeling at the sandbar by now, but I couldn't get picked up at the designated location. After struggling with the poor response from the tour company, I ended up wasting time and didn't want to inconvenience the other participants who were already there, so I reluctantly decided to forgo the tour.
Until now, I thought I didn't need the phone function on my smartphone as long as I had internet access, but without a public phone and not being a guest at the hotel where the meeting point was, it became an essential function for me.
It was already challenging to make a call without leaving the meeting point the tour company specified, and after waiting for 30 minutes, I had to ask the hotel reception if there was a public phone. Thanks to the kind receptionist, I was able to contact them using the hotel phone.
At that time, I was told to call a taxi using an app, and although I tried to download the app and request a ride, the poor internet connection caused repeated errors. As the meeting time approached, I had to sadly give up.
Even calling to inform them of my cancellation was a struggle, and in the end, I had to rely on the JAL Pack reception to make the call for me to complete the cancellation. For someone like me, who couldn't use the phone and has limited English skills, it was an exhausting two hours.
If the tour company had arranged a taxi when I contacted them, I might have been able to participate. If I could have communicated via LINE, they might have realized my situation sooner and come to pick me up. I have many requests now, but it was a painful lesson for me.
Today was the only day during my stay when the tide allowed me to see the sandbar, and it's unfortunate that I couldn't reschedule for another day. Both the tour company and participants need to consider how to properly handle emergencies.
本当は今頃サンドバーでシュノーケリングをしてたはずなのに、指定場所にピックアップに来てもらえず、ツアー会社に連絡したその後の対応の悪さに苦労した挙句時間を費やし、すでに現地にいる他のツアー参加者に迷惑をかけたくなかったので、仕方なく参加を断念しました。
今までネット環境さえあればスマホの電話機能なんて必要ないと思っていましたが、公衆電話もなく集合場所のホテルの宿泊者でもない私にとっては、必須の機能でした。
ツアー会社の言う集合場所から離れずに電話することがまず難関で、30分待って仕方なくホテルのレセプションで公衆電話があるかどうかを尋ね、親切なレセプショニストのおかげでホテルの電話で連絡させてもらえました。
その時にアプリかなんかでタクシーを呼んで現地まで行ってと言われて、アプリをダウンロードして配車を試みるも、ネット状況が悪くて何度もエラーに。そのうち現地集合時間が迫り、泣く泣く断念することに。
断念するとの電話連絡もひと苦労し、結果JALパックのレセプションに泣きつき、電話をしてもらってキャンセル連絡完了。
電話を使えず、英語も拙い私にとっては、クタクタに疲れた2時間でした。
ツアー会社に連絡した時にタクシーの手配をしてくれれば参加できたかも、LINEで連絡できたらもっと早く気づいてもらえてピックアップに来てもらえたかも。今はいろいろ要望もありますが、私も手痛い勉強になりました。
滞在期間中、唯一サンドバーにお目にかかれる潮位だった今日、他の日にリスケが出来ず残念です。
緊急時の対処がきちんとできるかどうか、ツアー会社も参加者も考えなくてはいけませんね。

I went snorkeling to see fish, and I was able to swim with a considerable number of honu (sea turtles)! The crew spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy the activity with peace of mind! One thing I felt was that changing clothes, which was optional, is actually a must. (It's cold to return on an air-conditioned bus in a swimsuit.)
魚をみるためのシュノーケリング目的で行ったのですが、かなりの数のホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができました!
クルーの方も日本語が通じたので安心してアクティビティを楽しめました!
ひとつ感じたことは、持ち物で任意だった着替えは必須です。(水着で冷房のきいたバスで帰るのは寒いです)
Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Reef snorkeling tour. We are very pleased to hear that you encountered many sea turtles during your snorkeling experience and that you were able to enjoy the activity with peace of mind. When returning from the water to the boat, it can feel a bit chilly, and you may also feel cold in the return shuttle bus, so we recommend that you bring a larger bath towel or a light jacket with you for the tour.
We hope to see you again on our tours, and our staff is looking forward to welcoming you. Mahalo.

I participated with three senior members... I experienced kayaking and SUP for the first time, and I had a great time. The local staff were professionals at creating a relaxed atmosphere, and I never felt uncomfortable; I truly enjoyed being among the young people. While I'm still energetic, I want to challenge myself with many more activities. The return shuttle bus was really cold, so it's essential to have something to wear in addition to a towel.

Loved this Adventure. Large spacious catamaran. Love the live music. Greeted with smiles, donuts, and tang. Can’t swim? Never snorkeled? This is the place to experience these activities. Water level at the sandbar was knee high. Lots of fish to see hiding in the coral. Don’t know what you’re looking at? Ask the knowledgeable crew. Need a bit of excitement - ride the banana boat - that will wake you up! Highly recommend this adventure.

I chose this tour because it offers pick-up from both Kailua Beach and the town. The shop is just a few minutes' walk from Kailua Beach, so I was able to go back and forth twice and enjoy playing at the beach. The water is shallow, the sand is fine and beautiful, and even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer, I felt safe and had a great time in the ocean. The emerald green sea was so beautiful that it took my breath away. I thought I could only rent a beach mat, but I was able to borrow a chair and ended up napping on the sand. The staff who spoke Japanese were always attentive and their consideration was wonderful. I found it a bit confusing when to give tips and how much to give to whom, so it would be helpful if there were some guidelines provided. Next time, I plan to skip the town and go directly to Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach.
カイルアビーチとタウンと両方送迎してもらえるツアーが良くてこちらに決めました。
カイルアビーチまで徒歩数分のショップなので、2回行き来してビーチで遊べました。遠浅で、砂もさらさらで綺麗で、泳ぎが苦手な私でも、海で安心して楽しめました。エメラルドグリーンの海綺麗すぎて感動です。ビーチマットしか借りられないと思ってましたが、チェアが借りれて砂浜で寝てしまいました。日本語話せるスタッフさんがいつも気にかけてくれて、配慮が素敵でした。
チップを渡すタイミング、どれくらい誰に渡すか分からなくて、目安とか書いてて貰えたら助かるなと思いました。次は、タウンは行かずにカイルアビーチとラニカイビーチまで行ってみようと思います。

Hanauma Bay requires a reservation, and it's quite difficult to get there without a rental car. Additionally, there is a video to watch after entering, so it was definitely the right choice for me to join this tour since I only speak Japanese! I didn't see any sea turtles, but I was able to snorkel a lot. By the way, I participated without renting a wetsuit, just wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, but since I also wore a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it safely.
ハナウマ湾は、予約が必要であり、現地へ行くのもレンタカーでないと大変、さらに、入場後のビデオ視聴等もあり、日本語しか話せない私にはこのツアーで行って正解でした!ウミガメは見られなかったですが、たっぷりシュノーケリングすることができました。ちなみに、私はウエットスーツは借りず、上下長袖ラッシュガードで参加しましたが、救命胴衣もつけるので、十分安全に楽しめました。

Hanauma Bay currently requires a reservation to enter, but this tour does not require advance booking, and we were taken there by a guide. The view of Hanauma Bay from above is stunning, and since access is difficult, I was really glad to be taken there on this tour.
I experienced snorkeling separately and rented a wetsuit for $10. The coral might be prettier in Okinawa, but I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and fish. It seems that getting a Hanauma Bay-specific guide's license is currently difficult, so I think being taken there is a rare opportunity. It was great. Thank you very much.
ハナウマベイは今予約がないと入れないですが、このツアーでは事前予約が不要で、ガイドさんに連れて行ってもらいました。(2023.6.29)

シュノーケルは別でウェットスーツを10ドルでつけて体験しました。
サンゴ自体は沖縄の方がきれいかもしれませんが、海ガメや魚が見れてすごく満足しました。

Additionally, they kindly guided us, and thanks to them, my parents were able to enjoy themselves and come back happy.

We took our 2.5 year old toddler on this tour and it was a wonderful experience. What’s great about this tour is that once you’re out at the sandbar you can paddle board, kayak, snorkel, and/or swim, hangout at the floating deck, etc. I’m glad we had these activities because there’s not that much to do at the sandbar otherwise! I had fun paddle boarding and kayaking with my toddler (wearing a life jacket, which they provide). We were done with the activities after a while and my toddler wanted to be back on the “big boat,” which was also fine because the boat is comfortable, provides shade, and has bathrooms and changing rooms. Just remember to bring some drinks and snacks to enjoy after all the exercise!

If you really want to have a fun day, then this tour is for you. And, family friendly! I've done it the last 2 years and am going to book again for next year. The crew: Captain Cheyenne, and crew members Julia, Yuki, Yukiko and Cody are the best. Very friendly, and GREAT personalities.
Walking on this sandbar is an experience. And they even set up a water volleyball game. The water is perfect and the bluest I've ever seen.
After the sandbar, they fire up the grill for a nice hamburger/cheeseburger lunch with all the fixins. And they have meatless burgers also.
After lunch there is snorkeling. Due to recent knee replacement surgery I was unable to participate last year, but was able to and had a great time this year.
After snorkeling, you go turtle watching. There were plenty, and some of them are HUGE.
My one big recommendation: Bring reef friendly sunscreen because the sun will fool you. It was a bit overcast this year,, but the sun still managed to get me.

I participated with my 0-year-old child. Since there were many participants, we took two buses and two boats, dividing into a Japanese-speaking team and an English-speaking team for the boat ride. Everyone was very kind to the children, making it easy for us to join with kids! If the child wears a float, they can stand on the sandbar, and although snorkeling is in deeper water, as long as we ensure the waves don't hit the child's face, we were able to enjoy it without any issues! The staff attended to us in Japanese, making it easy to ask questions, and above all, the location was amazing. I'm really glad I participated!!!

The scenery at Hanauma Bay was different from what I saw over 30 years ago; it has been beautifully maintained, with strict management including entry restrictions and video presentations of the rules. Thanks to this, the underwater environment was very clear, and I was able to see many fish and even a rare eel that is seldom seen, even by guides.
Although it was a super low tide, which meant I couldn't meet a honu, and I struggled with my goggles and taking breaks, resulting in swallowing seawater multiple times, my guide held my hand the whole time, allowing me to fully enjoy snorkeling! Thank you very much for your great support!

Originally, I was scared and not good at going into places where my feet couldn't reach, but I wanted to try it at least once in my life, so I participated. It was deeper and scarier than I had imagined, but thanks to the instructor who kindly spoke to me and held my hand all the way through, my dream came true. Also, it's better to borrow and wear a wetsuit. My companion was bare-chested, but their back turned red, and the shape of the life jacket straps was imprinted on it (laughs).

I participated in the simplest plan (without optional activities or transportation).
On the day of the tour, I took thebus from Ala Moana Shopping Center, leaving a little after 7:00 AM. There wasn't much delay, and we arrived around 8:10 AM. The harbor seems to mainly serve local fishermen. There was a small shop selling alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, and fishing gear.
There is a changing room on the boat, but it can only accommodate one person at a time, so I think it's better to wear your swimsuit underneath.
Fortunately, there was a Japanese staff member on our tour! Additionally, among the foreign staff, there was someone who spoke Japanese fluently. There were also safety instructions written in Japanese, so those who are anxious about English can feel at ease.
Since I was 29 weeks pregnant, I enjoyed a little snorkeling with my husband and then just relaxed on the boat, but others were really enjoying activities like stand-up paddleboarding and beach volleyball.
When participating, I recommend checking the low and high tide times to choose the best tour time! It was a lot of fun!
一番シンプルなプラン(オプションアクティビティなし、送迎なし)で参加しました。
当日はアラモアナショッピングセンターを7時過ぎに出発するthebusで向かい、バスの遅れもそこまでなく、8:10ごろには到着しました。
ハーバーは地元の釣り人などがメインで利用されているようです。アルコール、ソフドリ、軽食、釣具などを販売している小さな売店もありました。
船上に着替える部屋がありますが、1名ずつしか利用できないので、水着を下に着てくるのがベターだと思います。
私たちのツアーでは運良く日本人スタッフがおりました!また、外国人スタッフの中に日本語が達者な方もいました。日本語で書かれた注意文も用意されており、英語に不安がある方も安心です^ ^
妊娠29週で参加したため、旦那とシュノーケリングを少し楽しみ、あとは船上でゆっくりするだけにしましたが、他の方々はSUPやビーチバレーなど、すごくエンジョイしていました^ ^
参加の際は是非干潮・満潮時刻と睨めっこしてツアー時間帯を選ぶと良いと思います!

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by our oversight, which prevented you from participating in our sandbar tour that you were looking forward to. Unfortunately, we were unable to communicate effectively, and with other customers present, we could not return the bus, resulting in your inability to join the tour.
In light of this incident, we are considering how to better assist customers who cannot reach us by phone. While we cannot undo the disappointment this has caused, we have processed a full refund for you.
Once again, we deeply apologize for the sadness we have caused you. We are truly sorry.
この度は弊社のサンドバーツアーを楽しみに来てくださったにも関わらず弊社の不手際でご参加いただくことができず大変申し訳ございませんでした。
うまくご連絡をお取りすることができずまた他のお客様もいらっしゃりバスを戻すこともできず結果としてご参加いただくことができませんでした。
この件を受けて電話がつながらないお客様への対応をどのようにしたらよいか考えてまいる所存です。
このようなことで残念な思いをさせてしまったことを埋めることはできませんが
全額ご返金をさせていただきました。
改めましてお客様に悲しい思いをさせてしまいましたこと心よりお詫び申し上げます。
本当に申し訳ございませんでした。
