This excursion was unmatched! The water was pristine, the crew had the best vibes, they all want you to have a good time & we did! Unforgettable!

This was my third time at Sandbar, and I was finally able to participate on a day that truly felt like "this is Sandbar!"

As soon as my Hawaii trip dates were set, I checked the tide levels and made a reservation for a day that coincided with the low tide, which only happens a few times a year.

Thank you to the friendly staff. I was able to enjoy skin diving, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and other marine sports in excellent conditions with the blue sea and white sandy shallows.

If you go to Hawaii, you absolutely must experience this amazing adventure!

サンドバー3回目にして、まさしく
これがサンドバー！という日に参加できました

ハワイ旅行の日程が決まった時点で潮位を調べてそれが年に数回という干潮にあたる日に合わせて予約をさせていただきました。

気さくなスタッフの方々ありがとうございました。
青い海、浅瀬の白い砂という好コンディションの中でスキンダイビング、SAP、カヤック…マリンスポーツを堪能できました。

ハワイに行った際は是非是非この感動を体験しない手はありません！

The boat ride was awesome. The island was beautiful. The food good. For the price point for this trip $312 a person I felt they hounded for tips and extra money for pictures. It was off putting. My family of 4 was $1248 that should be enough for the excursion. Captain pushed the issue and wanted to give staff Venmo accounts. Ugh. I am not cheap and planned for Hawaii expenses but the hounding was over the top.

I was able to fully enjoy the great outdoors at Kualoa Ranch while off-roading. It was a lot of fun driving while taking in the scenery. The guide was also great, taking photos and being considerate by talking to us in English.

However, the dust was quite intense, and I ended up covered in sand, so I would appreciate it if that could be mentioned in the tour's precautions. After the tour, I changed into a fresh outfit.

クアロアランチの大自然をオフロード走行で満喫できました。景色を見ながら運転できてとてもたのしかったです。ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたり、英語ですが気遣って話しかけてくれてとても良かったです。
ただ、砂埃がすごくて全身砂まみれになるので、その旨をツアーの注意事項に書いて頂ければと思います。
終わったら全身着替えました。

Great dinner cruise! treated us so well! We were treated courteously by the entire crew. The food was served well spaced out and was VERY good! Both of my sons had the steak and the commented it was cooked exactly how they liked it. I had the shrimp with a delicious sauce on it- WOW! The sunset views were spectacular. The Captain also did a great job with steering us out to smooth waters and I diid not feel seasick at all! I highly recommend for anyone!

The environment, dancing/entertainment and food was out of this world. The music was soothing and on point. The fire dancer, wow, you just have to see for yourself! We had a very large group,17 to be exact, they easily accommodated us and everything ran smoothly. Our waiter, Bula or “B”, had great energy and made our experience 1000 times more enjoyable! Would highly recommend this dinner.

Was a great experience, beautiful and fun! Would recommend

The Pearl Harbor Guided Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri tour was so moving. The Arizona Memorial was very humbling to know how many lives were given up for the freedom we enjoy today. The Battleship Missouri was amazing, knowing all the history that transpired on it. The tour underneath with all the memorabilia brought us right back to the days that the letter were written, the bed that were slept in, the uniforms that were worn and so much more. It was so educational and inspirational!

It was a fun tour riding buggies through the grounds of Kualoa Ranch. I think it's the best tour within Kualoa Ranch. A guide accompanies you, but all explanations at the points are in English, so for Japanese people who are not good at English, you might just have to feel the atmosphere.

The dust is quite intense, and your clothes and bags will get pretty dirty, so you need to be careful about what you wear and bring. Also, be careful when putting on the goggles after attaching them to the helmet, as it can get your face dirty.

クアロアランチの敷地内をバギーで駆け抜ける楽しいツアーでした。クアロアランチ内の行動範囲は、一番のツアーだと思います。ガイドが付きますが、ポイントでの説明は全て英語なので英語が得意でない日本人には、雰囲気で感じ取るしかないかな。
砂埃がすごく、洋服やバックはかなり汚れますので、着ていく服と持ち物には十分に注意が必要です。また、ゴーグルをヘルメットに付けた後に装着すると顔が汚れますので十分に注意してください。

I participated in June 2023. The pick-up from the hotel during my stay was convenient, and if you choose an activity with lunch included, the morning schedule isn't too early, which I recommend.

After about an hour's drive by bus, we arrived at Kaneohe Bay for boarding. There are restrooms at the dock, but it can get crowded with participants. Don't worry, there are also restrooms on the boat.

When boarding, there were separate boats for Japanese guests and guests from other countries, so the boat I boarded was filled with Japanese tourists. The guide spoke only Japanese, so there were no issues.

The sandy beach of the heavenly sea is more like a shallow area, with the water reaching up to my waist. We also had time to practice snorkeling.

As for the lunch, the hamburgers were freshly grilled on the boat, and the meat was quite delicious, which made me very satisfied.

After lunch, we moved by boat while watching the honu (sea turtles) and snorkeled for about an hour at a snorkeling spot before returning to the port and taking the bus back. I think we arrived at the hotel around 4 PM.

I was able to see the honu from the boat, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any while snorkeling.

Overall, it was a very satisfying experience. Just be careful about sunburn.

2023年6月に参加しました。滞在中のホテルからのピックアップで、昼食付きアクティビティであれば朝もそこまで早くないのでおすすめです。
バスで1時間ほど走ったらカネオヘ湾に到着、乗船となります。船着き場にはトイレもありますが、参加客で混雑します。船の中にもトイレはありますのでご安心を。
乗船の際は、日本人客の船と、それ以外の国の客とに分かれて船が用意されているので、乗った船はすべて日本人観光客でした。ガイドも全て日本語でしたので問題ございません。
天国の海の砂浜は、砂浜というか浅瀬になっており、腰まで海水が届きます。シュノーケリングの練習時間も兼ねておりました。
昼食のハンバーガーですが、船内でお肉が焼かれた出来たてのもので、肉もかなり美味しく満足できました。
昼食後に船で移動して、移動しながらホヌをウォッチングしつつ、シュノーケリングスポットで1時間ほどシュノーケリング、帰港、バスで送迎となります。ホテル到着は16時ぐらいだったと思います。
ホヌは船から見れましたが、シュノーケリング中は残念ながら会えませんでした。
全体を通してかなり満足のいくものでした。ただ日焼けにはご注意を。

The sandbar activity was a very enjoyable and unique experience. The boat ride over is short (15 min.) with great music and a decent sandwich lunch. We did the SUP and snorkeled. Lots of fish to see. Plenty of time to do all the activities. The tide was high, about 4 feet but still so much fun. Made it better for snorkeling. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

This experience is definitely worth it. The staff and crew are so lovely, fun, and energetic, they brighten up your day as you head out to the sandbar. Their experience and overall "good vibes" makes the trip so enjoyable as you get to experience an amazing time out in the sandbar with music, activities, food, and community. Do it!

The tour included a Japanese guide, but most participants were from overseas, so the explanations were primarily in English, with occasional translations in Japanese. If you asked questions, they would respond in Japanese. During the trekking, the group gradually spread out at their own pace, so I hardly listened to the explanations in the second half, but I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent nature and the fresh air around me. I never thought I would go out of my way to experience such impressive nature in Japan, so I'm glad I participated in this tour! For those interested in the Manoa Falls tour, I hope you can enjoy the great outdoors without worrying too much about language or history.

日本語ガイドさん付きでしたが、参加者の方は海外の方が多く基本的には英語、日本語でもちょくちょく解説してくれる感じでした。
質問したら日本語で教えてくれますし、トレッキング中はだんだん団体の間隔がそれぞれのペースで空いてくるので、後半はほとんど解説を聞いてなかったんですが、目の前に広がる大自然と肌に感じる澄んだ空気で全然楽しめました^ ^
日本でなかなかここまで立派な自然をわざわざ感じに行こうとは思わなかったので、参加して良かったツアーです！
マノアの滝ツアーが気になる方は言葉とか歴史とかはあまり気にせず、とにかく大自然をいっぱい堪能してほしいなと思いました^ ^

I went parasailing for the first time‼️
I want to praise myself for being able to do something like this at over 60 years old!
The scenery was amazing‼️ The sense of freedom‼️
I felt motivated to work hard again starting tomorrow.

初めてパラセーリングをしました‼️
６０歳をすぎてこんな事が出来る自分を褒めてやりたいです！
素晴らしい風景‼️解放感‼️
また明日から元気に頑張ろうと思いました。

This luau was wonderful! Dinner was great, the service was well executed and we learned so much about the Polynesian culture. The show was awesome! Very talented performers who made it so much fun for everyone in attendance! This is a definite yes!!

The directions listed on the voucher did not include guidance from the Haleiwa area, which led to some confusion as I thought I should turn on Einos Rd. I was also flustered because Google Maps provided incorrect directions. When coming from Haleiwa, you should pass Einos Rd, continue for a while, and then turn right at the sign after passing the church on your right. Unfortunately, we encountered rain several times along the way, but the zipline experience itself was very enjoyable, and the staff were friendly. Even though we didn't understand English well, we had a great time.

バウチャーに記載のdirectionはハレイワ方面からの案内は記載されておらずイーノスRdで曲がるものと思い道に迷いました。Google mapでも誤った指示がされたので焦りました。ハレイワから行く際はイーノスRdをパスして暫く教会を右手に通り越して看板を右折です。残念ながら途中で何回か雨に降られましたがジップライン自体は大変さ楽しかったです、スタッフも気さくで英語が分からない自分達も充分に楽しめました。

We participated as a couple in mid-June. Since neither of us speaks any English, we were worried about how it would go, but upon arrival, the check-in guidance and the reception for each activity had a separate announcement saying, "For Japanese speakers, please go this way," so we were able to use the services with peace of mind. The four-wheeler was an automatic vehicle, so we could drive it just like a car in Japan. One thing to note is that while driving, mud and water from the car in front can splash onto you. I think it's better not to wear your favorite white T-shirt.

6月中旬に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
英語が全く話せない2人なので大丈夫かと心配していましたが到着後のチェックインの案内や各アクティビティの受付は『日本語の方はこちらへ〜』と別で案内をしてくれたので安心して利用できました。
四輪バギーはAT車なので日本の車と同じように運転できました。注意点として運転中前の車の泥水がはねてきます。お気に入りの白Tシャツなどは着て行かない方がいいと思います。

I enjoyed it more than I had imagined. The course was varied, allowing for different ways to have fun. The lunch was fresh and delicious, with both meat and vegetables. The tour led by Mr. KOA was especially enjoyable.

想像していたより、楽しめた。コースがバラエティに飛んでいて、いろいろな楽しみ方が出来る。ランチはお肉も野菜も新鮮で美味しかった。特にガイドMr.KOAさんのツアーは楽しかった

Thank you very much for staying with my wife, who is not good at swimming, until the end. Thanks to you, we were able to see many different kinds of fish, and it became the best experience and memory for us. If we have another opportunity, we will definitely sign up again. Please take care of yourself, and we look forward to your continued support.

泳ぎが苦手な妻に最後まで付いてくださって、本当ににありがとうございました。おかげさまで、たくさんの種類のお魚を見ることが出来て、私達にとって最高の体験、思い出になりました。また機会がありましたら必ず申込みさせていただきます。お体に気をつけてこれからも引き続き宜しくおねがい致します。

Our service people were wonderful. They took care of us and were very kind. Also, the food and drinks were incredible. And the dancing, music, and story telling was all very good. All around, excellent.

As we crossed the mountain, it was raining in the valley, and I hoped that once we got over the mountain, it would clear up, but above the sea, there were clouds, clouds, and more clouds.

The moment we got off the shuttle and arrived at the dock, a downpour hit us ☔️. It stopped quickly, but it started raining again while we were on the boat..☔️. However, when we arrived at the sandbar, the rain stopped, and we all went snorkeling in the cloudy weather. We were able to see lots of fish and turtles! ☺️

It got a bit chilly, so we all got out of the water and enjoyed the rice balls, snacks, and drinks that were prepared on the boat during our break.

While we were resting, the sun peeked out ☀️!! In no time, the deep blue sea turned into an emerald color! I was lucky to see such a beautiful sea! After that, everyone enjoyed activities like stand-up paddleboarding and playing with floaties.

One slight disappointment was that we had to wear life jackets while snorkeling, which meant we couldn't dive down. However, since there were many corals, I think it was a necessary precaution to keep us floating and not touching the bottom. Also, since we were all snorkeling together, there were quite a few bumps and kicks throughout the experience, which was amusing. I recommend keeping some distance from each other while enjoying the activity!

The boat also provided warm drinks, so even though it was cold, it was surprisingly comfortable, and above all, I had a great time!

山を越えるので山の中は雨が降っていて、山を越えればと思いましたが海の上は雲、雲、雲。
そして送迎車を降りて船着場に着いた瞬間スコール☔️
すぐ止みましたが、船で移動中また雨が..☔️
でもサンドバーに着くと雨が止んでくれたので曇りの中みんなでシュノーケリング
魚や亀がたくさん見れました☺️！

寒くなってみんなでシュノーケリングから上がり、船で用意されたおにぎりやお菓子、飲み物を食べ飲みして休憩。


休憩していると晴れ間が☀️！！
あっという間に濃い青の海がエメラルドカラーに！
運が良かったのか、とても綺麗な海が見れてよかったです！
そのあとは各自SUPや浮き輪遊びなどで楽しめました。


ちょっと残念だったのはライフジャケットを着てのシュノーケリングなので潜れないことですかね。ただサンゴも多いので浮かせて足をつかせないようになどの配慮もあると思うのでそこは仕方ないと思いました。それから全員でシュノーケリングするので終始人にぶつかる、蹴られるが多かったです笑
各自で感覚を空けながら楽しむことをお勧めします笑


船では暖かい飲み物も用意してくれてるので寒くても案外平気ですし、なによりすごく楽しめてよかったです！

The two male crew members raising the sail were very cool, and with a happy song, we headed out to sea. The splashes of the waves were magnificent, the wind was pleasant, and I was moved by the majestic view of Diamond Head from the ocean. It was the best option for me. I will definitely ride again next time!

帆を揚げる2人の男性クルーがとてもcoolで、
ハッピーな曲とともに沖へ
波しぶきがとても豪快で、風も心地よく、
そして、沖から眺める雄大なダイヤモンドヘッドに感動
私にとって最高のオプションでした
次回も絶対乗ります‼️

This was a great hike with our guide Jennifer. She adjusted it to match my kids’ level of interest. She was well prepared with all the supplies including backpacks, snacks, rain gear and jackets. On our visit we got sun and rain and sun and rain. My kids’ were tired so we cut our hike short but it was just enough to have great introduction to the park, and the plants and history around it.

After enjoying a buffet-style dinner, you'll be watching a show, so the time commitment will be longer. It’s better not to schedule anything else afterward. There is a roof, but since the dining is outdoors, there is no air conditioning. You can enjoy the lively atmosphere while watching hula dancing during the meal. I recommend this for your first trip to Hawaii.

ビュッフェ形式の夕食を楽しんだ後にショーを観るので拘束時間が長くなります。
次の予定は入れない方が良いでしょう。
屋根はありますが野外での食事なので空調はありません。
食事中もフラダンスも観れるので賑やかに楽しめます。
初めてのハワイ旅行でオススメします。

The passport to pearl harbor was an excellent experience for the price. You can see the many museums and learn about the event's history. I recommend this to anyone interested in WWII.

During the shuttle ride, a foreign guest made an effort to have a conversation in both English and Japanese, but the majority of the time was spent speaking in English, which made it a bit awkward. Since I participated with the expectation of Japanese support, I felt that multilingual sharing should be avoided as much as possible. Other than that, I had a great time!

送迎の車の中で外国の方が相乗りした際に英語と日本語両方で一生懸命交互に会話してくれたのですが、やはり英語で話す時間が圧倒的に多く気まずい時間でしたので日本語対応で参加している以上、多国語の相乗りは出来る限り避けて頂きたいと感じました。それ以外は大変楽しめました！

I had a great time horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch on Oahu, so I decided to try it again this time. Kualoa is quite touristy, and I felt comfortable using their services even though I don't understand English, but there was no one who spoke Japanese here, which made me a bit anxious and dizzy on the horse. However, the staff were enthusiastic and warm, so I was able to get through safely.

The horses are smart, so I mostly just had to sit there, but going downhill was a bit scary, and I tensed up, resulting in knee pain by the end. During the ride, we were told to put our water and phones in a special bag for safety. Also, since the wind was chilly, it was necessary to wear something over our clothes. I participated in a windbreaker, long pants, and sneakers.

It seemed that wearing a helmet was at my own risk, but I borrowed one. Hats can get blown away by the wind, startling both me and the horse, so wearing a helmet was the right choice. This time, I couldn't fully enjoy the magnificent scenery due to my nervousness and not understanding the instructions, but I definitely want to participate again. The photos taken by the staff along the way were wonderful and became great memories.

オアフ島のクアロア牧場での乗馬が楽しかったので今回挑戦しました。
クアロアは観光化されていて英語がわからなくても安心して利用できましたが、こちらは日本語が話せる方はいなかったので不安のあまり馬の上でくらくらしました。しかしスタッフの方が熱心で温かくフォローしてくださったのでなんとか安全に過ごすことができました。
馬が賢いのでほとんど乗っているだけで大丈夫でしたが、下りは少し怖くて力が入り、終了時は膝が痛かったです。
乗馬時は危険防止のため、水と携帯は専用のバッグにいれるように言われました。また、風がつめたいので、羽織るものも必要です。ウインドブレーカーに長ズボン、スニーカーで参加しました。
ヘルメットは自己責任らしかったでが、私はお借りしました。帽子は風で飛ばされて自分も馬もおどろくので、ヘルメットで正解でした。今回は説明がわからず、緊張したため雄大な景色を堪能できませんでしたが、もう一度ぜひ参加したいです。途中でスタッフの方が撮ってくださった写真は素晴らしく、とてもよい思い出になりました。

This time, I participated in my first trip to Hawaii with a Diamond Premier seat. With priority entry, I was able to sit right next to the stage, and it was an impressive show filled with the spirit of Hawaii! The food was also available to us first, and both the taste and portion size were great. However, everything from the entrance announcement was in English, so I couldn't understand the MC's jokes, which was a bit disappointing. It was a moment that made me realize the necessity of English conversation at my age. If the budget allows, I think it's better to participate with a Diamond Premier seat. Regular seats enter after the Diamond seats, and since the seating is further back, you can't feel the dynamism of the show.

今回は、初めてのハワイ旅行で、ダイヤモンドプレミアシートで参加させてもらいました。
優先入場で、席もステージの横で見ることができて、迫力があって、ハワイ感満載のショーでした！
料理も優先的に取ることができて、味もボリュームも問題ありませんでした。
ただ、入場案内から全て英語なので、MCのトークで笑いが起きても、理解出来ずで少し残念でした。英会話の必要性を、この年で感じた1シーンです。
予算が許すならば、ダイヤモンドプレミアで参加された方がいいと思います。レギュラーシートは入場がダイヤモンドシートのあとで、食事を取るのももあと、座席も後方なので、ショーのダイナミックさを感じることが出来ないです。

Our family of 4 had an amazing time watching the sunset and stargazing with Yoshi! It’s a very special experience that we all enjoyed and won’t soon forget. Yoshi did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable and adapting to the high altitudes well. He showed us many stars and constellations and provided a lot of details about the island and vegetation. We would definitely recommend this tour!

This is the 2nd year in a row my family and I have booked this snorkel cruise. We loved it each time. We loved being in the middle of the ocean snorkeling and being on the sand bar. We felt safe each time and had a lot of fun. The staff was wonderful and the food was great as well. Anytime we come to Oahu, Captain Bobs is our go to!
