Very well organized
Good directions
Great music
Had a great time
Will recommend to friends

I love the kid-friendly board, my children can enjoy snorkeling without swimming skill. Such a fun and amazing tour, wanna do it again!

Had a great time onboard this ship as we went over to the sandbar. Super family friendly, music was great, and the staff on board the ship were incredibly helpful. Would recommend for anyone wanting to headout out to the sandbar for a variety of ocean activities!

This experience is such a blessing for our trip. They have professional crews helping us to get familiar with the equipment. They are very friendly and helpful. My family and I had such a great time snorkeling in the ocean. Veltra is also user-friendly and communicative. I would recommend my friends to use them for their vacation in Hawaii.

This tour exceeded all expectations! The crew was outstanding along with the transport accommodations from hotel to the boat. The musicians aboard were nothing short of amazing. You will leave this tour with seeing some of the most beautiful landscape ever. The equipment was top notch along with a great beach experience with snorkeling, kayaks and volleyball. I have been to Hawaii numerous times before and this excursion tops the rest! Mahalo!

This was such a wonderful experience with it being self-guided. Instructions were constructively explained, necessary equipments were provided. Some distance kayaking to the reef, but worth it snorkeling. Stunning sea life. The employee is around, easy to reach. Great to enjoy with loved ones.

As expected, the sea in January is cold, and although it was sunny, there was hardly any direct sunlight, which made it tough. The children were shivering.

When we arrived at the sandbar, it should have been around low tide to high tide, but the water level had already risen, and it wasn't dry land, which was disappointing.

However, we did get to see sea turtles and manta rays. Also, snorkeling was quite tough, and taking care of the kids while doing it was pretty exhausting.

やはり1月の海は寒く、晴れてはいたが直射日光がほぼなかったのでつらかった。子供はくちびるを震わせたりしていた。
サンドバーも到着時には干潮から満潮の間くらいだったはずだがすでに潮位が上がっており、陸地にはなっておらず残念。
ただウミガメやマンタには会えました。
あとシュノーケリングは結構タフで子供をケアしながらの実施はかなり疲れました。

It was a tour in the morning, but because it had rained the day before and there was a little rain on the day itself, the sea was a bit cold and didn't have the beauty of a heavenly sea. However, as it got closer to noon, it started to clear up, and gradually beautiful scenery began to appear.

Also, I was able to see sea turtles and enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding. The tour crew spoke Japanese and were very friendly and easy to talk to, which made it a lot of fun!

Next time I come, I want to see the best scenery!

朝からのツアーでしたが、前日に雨が降っていたことと、当日少し雨が降ったため、海は少し冷たく、天国の海というほどの美しさはありませんでした。
しかし、お昼近くになると晴れ始め、次第に綺麗な景色が見え始めました。

また、ウミガメが見れたことやサップも楽しめたこと、ツアーのクルーの方々は日本語も話せることや、とても気さくで話しやすく良い方々だったこともあり、とても楽しかったです！

次回はきた際には最高の景色を見たいです！

We had an awesome time viewing the Manta Rays. We were able to see the spinner dolphins in the sunset as well. The staff was great and very accommodating. Definitely worth the trip to the big island!

I had been to Angel's Sea once before, but this was my first time on a snorkeling tour. I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and manta rays at Angel's Sea! And having a hamburger for lunch while on the water was the best. The guides explained everything in a way that was easy for Japanese people to understand, so I had no worries and enjoyed myself. Since it wasn't just a boat for Japanese people, I was able to interact with people from other countries, which was also fun (we exchanged snacks we brought with us, laughing together).

This was my first time snorkeling, and I was amazed to see the fish up close! Since it was the ocean, I was a bit worried about being swept away by the current, but there were people nearby, so I felt safe and enjoyed it. It was a bit cold on the boat, so I think a larger and thicker bath towel would be better. Also, it's best to leave all jewelry at the hotel. I found that the area between my chin and neck surprisingly got sunburned, so it's better to apply sunscreen thoroughly. I went on the last day of my stay in Hawaii, and I'm really glad I did. I highly recommend this tour!

以前天使の海は一度行ったことがあったのですが、シュノーケル付きのツアーは初めてでした。天使の海では海亀とマンタが見れて大満足！そしてランチのハンバーガーも海の上で食べると最高ですね。日本人向けに説明をして頂けるので何も不安な点も無く楽しめました。日本人のみの船ということでは無いので他の国の方とも交流ができてそれもまた楽しかったです。(お互い持ってきたスナックを交換こしたり笑)
シュノーケルは初挑戦でしたが、魚が近くで見れて感動しました！！海なので多少潮に流されそうになりますが近くに人がいるので安心して楽しめました。船の上は寒かったりもするのでバスタオルは大きめで厚めの方がいいと思います。あとはジュエリーは全てホテルに置いてくべし。日焼け止めはあごと首の間が意外と焼けたので、念入りに塗った方がいいです。ハワイ滞在の最後の日に行きましたが本当に行って良かったです。おすすめのツアーです。

Night snorkel with manta rays was recommended to me by a coworker who lived on Kona. We booked this for our vacation based on her recommendation. We brought our ‘kids’ ages 30, 16, 13. I think it would be hard for younger kids. In fact, one child I’d say about 6 sat on a float the entire time. Swimming in ocean at night even with a wetsuit (a MUST), a noodle, and holding on to a raft is trying even for an adult. That being said, it was so cool! We were fortunate to see many manta rays! I wish I could’ve taken pictures. It was plenty long enough time. Any longer would’ve been too much. We had perfect weather and the light of the full moon. The crew was awesome and fun. You could tell they loved their job and were friends. Shout out to the girl on our crew named Ryan, who took extra care and patience helping my 30 year old daughter swim back to boat.

All I can say, this group is awesome. We had the sandbar adventure last January 4, 2023. Despite the weather didn’t cooperate, they still made sure that we have a good time. Supposedly it’s a big group, but because it’s raining that day, some parties cancelled their trip while we just want to get over it and don’t want to be back the next day. It turned out to be an awesome adventure for us. My kids still did their banana boat ride and bumpers as well as paddle boarding and snorkeling. And my daughter even had a chance to have duet with my HERO!!! (It’s a long story).
I’m so thankful with them coz my kids really enjoyed this adventure. We all had a good time.

Great experience! Ship staff were so patient. Would highly recommend!

The sandbar was wonderful, but the guide's character and the way they explained everything in a polite and interesting manner in Japanese made for a great memory. My 4-year-old child was able to play safely. The float with the yellow underwater view was a favorite among the kids.

サンドバーの素晴らしさもありますが、ガイドさんのキャラクターや日本語でも丁寧におもしろく説明いただけて、とても良い思い出になりました。
4歳の子供も安心して遊べました。黄色の水中が見える浮き輪？が子どもたちのお気に入りでした。

The amount of dolphins out during our tour made me feel extra lucky! The west side of Oahu is sure gorgeous

From the amazing staff who fulfilled every moment. To seeing whales, turtles, dolphins and many varieties of fish. Diving off the boat into the ocean. A perfect day to end our vacation in paradise Hawaii.

The weather was great, and I had a wonderful time. The hamburgers were also very delicious.

I was able to see sea turtles, and the atmosphere on the boat was nice.

The bus on the way back was delayed, but there was not a single person who was irritated; in fact, the waiting time was enjoyable.

天気にも恵まれ、とても素晴らしい時間でした。
ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

ウミガメも見れたし、船の中の雰囲気も良かったです。

帰りのバスの到着が遅れてしまいましたが、イライラする人などは一人もいなくて、待ち時間も楽しかったくらいです。

The crew is so friendly and willing to work with everyone on the boat. Go out of their way to make you feel comfortable on the water and experience all of the activities they have to offer.

Beautiful scenery all around you and being on the sandbar was so cool. The tube and banana boat rides were a blast and the jet boat operator is a stand up dude

It was a great full day with my family. Captain Raquel and her team were amazing! Saw lots of whales in the morning with Haleakala in the background. Dolphins joined us on the ride back too! The entire team was fun and interacted w/ all of us. We can't recommend it enough!

The group was divided into Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It's also good for families with children. The weather was really nice, but the water temperature in December might be cold; you can get in, but it's chilly when you come out. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious! We were able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling, and it was a great experience for my child. Thank you!

日本語と英語でグループが分かれていて説明などは安心
子連れにもGOOD
天気はすごく良かったが12月の水温は冷たいかな、入れないことないが出てから寒い。ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しかった!シュノーケル中に至近距離でウミガメも見えて子供と良い体験ができました、ありがとうございました。

was a different experience.
Will recommend others to have this one-time experience.
Nice snorkeling and under water view.

Our family of four enjoyed day out with Capt Bob Sandbar tour. Recommend wearing swim rash guard to help retain body heat.

It was stress free and full of fun. Everything was prepared including snorkeling gears, paddles, kayaks, etc. There was even a floating lounge. We saw a lot of tropical fish and coral. Crew members were very nice and enjoyed what they do. Will recommend 100%!

I went snorkeling in a coral reef where sea turtles come and go. A sea turtle appeared right in front of me from a hole in the reef, and I was able to swim together with it for a little while. It was an emotional experience.

ウミガメが出入りする珊瑚礁でシノーケリングをしました。珊瑚礁の穴からウミガメが目の前に出て来て少しの間一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。感動しました。

I thought I could take photos like in a guidebook, but the sandbar was underwater! It seems that it's rare for it to be in a guidebook-like condition. However, I had a great time with activities like volleyball, snorkeling, sea turtle watching, and a hamburger lunch on the boat!

ガイドブックのような写真が撮れるかと思っていましたが、サンドバーは海の中でした！
ガイドブックのような状態になるのは、稀らしいです。でもバレーボールやシュノーケリング、ウミガメウオッチ、船上ハンバガーランチなど、大変楽しむ事が出来ました！

My husband is not a strong swimmer, and Zola was patient and encouraging with him the whole time. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend!

My husband and I both agree this has been our favorite activity while in Hawaii (we’ve done several activities on 3 different islands). There are no words to describe the beauty of the coast!! Cameron & Tony were knowledgeable and very fun!! We saw several whales & spinner dolphins, which took our trip to the next level for us! Snorkeling was cancelled because of rough water, but we didn’t even notice because we were having so much fun!! Thanks Cameron & Tony for an awesome adventure!

I ended up going pelagic diving on Christmas Eve, and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Sharks are my biggest fear, this was my opportunity to face them. It was comforting for me that the crew gets in the water right along side you.They were very down to earth people, and genuinely create an environment where you feel safe. At a few points I started to slightly freak out as the sharks got uncomfortably close and the crew swam right alongside me and reassured me that I’d be fine, and they would keep them away if they came any closer. I was able to tough out the experience and got out of the water exhilarated, shaking, and completely in awe of what had I had experienced. I am left a memory that I will never forget / take for granted. I would 100% do it again , and I recommend this crew to all of my friends.. I wouldn’t chose any other charter!

I was informed about the tide conditions in advance and chose the best time to participate. There was also an explanation in Japanese, so I had no worries. On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly, but the warm drinks were very appreciated. I was moved to see many more turtles than I expected. SUP was also fun.

事前に潮の具合を教えてもらい、ベストな時間を選んで参加しました。
日本語の説明もあり、不安はありませんでした。
当日は、少し寒い気温でしたが、温かい飲み物がとてもありがたかったです。
予想よりたくさんの亀に会えて、感動でした。
SUPも楽しかったです。

Captain Trevor and his crew were outstanding!! The manta rays were incredible and while we were watching them the crew gave us facts about these amazing creatures.
