The driver wearing a blue T-shirt that said "Captain Bob" was supposed to guide us in both English and Japanese, but in reality, it was a large man in a gray tank top who was very tanned and could hardly speak Japanese (・_・;). However, I was relieved that the guidance on the boat was provided entirely in Japanese by "Yuki-san."
When my son got stung by a jellyfish (?), he kindly helped with cooling treatment and explained how to handle it afterward. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious (⌒∇⌒).
During my first snorkeling experience, I was a bit flustered, but he kept asking from the boat, "Are you okay?" which reassured me (I might have looked like I was drowning, lol). I saw sea turtles several times, but unfortunately, I couldn't swim with them. (However, it seemed like others on the opposite side were able to swim with them.)
The sandbar was beautiful, and if I ever go to Hawaii again, I would love to visit this place once more.
「’’Captain Bob’’と書かれた青いTシャツを着ているドライバーがツアー名を英語と日本語でご案内します。」と、案内には書かれてましたが、実際にはグレーのタンクトップを着た、めっちゃ日焼けをしてる日本語がほとんど話せない大きな男性でした(・_・;)
しかし、船での案内は「ユキさん」が終始日本語で安心しました。
息子がクラゲ(?)に刺されたときも、心配してくださってクーリングの処置と、その後の対処法を教えてくれました。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです(⌒∇⌒)
初のシュノーケリングで、バタバタしてる私に船の上から「ダイジョーブデスカー?」と声を何度もかけてくださり、安心しました(溺れてるように見えたかもw)
ウミガメは何度も見られたのですが、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐことはできなかったです。
(でも、反対側で泳がれていた方々は一緒に泳げたようです)
サンドバーが綺麗で、またハワイに行くことがあれば、もう一度行ってみたい場所でした。

My wife got stung by a jellyfish, but we were still very satisfied.

I participated in October, and while the weather was good, the wind was strong! Because of that, the waves were high and the sea was a bit murky.
After snorkeling, my husband got seasick and couldn't eat much, which was unfortunate. Even for those who usually don't get seasick, it might be safer to take motion sickness medication just in case!
However, we did see turtles, and the sea was beautiful, so I was very satisfied! I want to try again when I come back to Hawaii!
10月の参加でしたが、天気はよかったのですが風が強い!
その為波が高く海が少し濁っていました。
シュノーケリングをしたあと、旦那が波酔いしてしまい、あまりごはんがたべられなかったのがかわいそうでした。
普段酔わない人でも、一応酔い止めは飲んで置いた方が安全かもしれません!
でも、カメさんもみれましたし、海もきれいで大満足です!

The tour staff were all friendly, and the coordinator was an exceptionally cheerful and experienced Japanese woman. Her talks were entertaining, approachable, and cute. On the way to the snorkeling point, we saw a lot of manta rays and swimming sea turtles, and thanks to her engaging commentary, the time on the boat was not just a transfer but a really enjoyable experience. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, I was able to swim quickly enough to go for another round, and during the second round, I spotted a sea turtle and was able to swim alongside it, which was truly moving! I wished I could have snorkeled for a longer time, but the snacks and hot tea after getting out of the water were perfectly seasoned and at just the right temperature, making them very delicious. I really felt that choosing this tour was a great decision! I highly, highly, highly recommend it!
ツアーのスタッフはみんな気さくで、仕切りのお姉さんはとびきり明るい日本人のベテランさん。トークは面白いし、親しみやすくて可愛い。シュノーケリングポイントに向かっている時、マンタの群れや泳いでいるウミガメをたくさん見かけたし、お姉さんのトークのおかげで、船上が単なる移動ではなくとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。ポイントに着いてシュノーケリングする時も、私は泳ぐのが早かったのでもう1周行かせて貰えたし、2周目の時にウミガメを見付けて一緒に泳ぐことが出来たので感動しました‼︎もっと長い時間シュノーケリングしたかったけど、海から上がった後のスナックとホットティーも塩加減やぬるめの温度が絶妙で、とても美味しかったです。今回はこのツアーにして本当に良かったと思いました!超超超オススメです!

Two years ago, we participated in a sandbar tour for the first time with my family, but due to the bad weather, it was too cold, and I regretted having to borrow a wetsuit and shivering on the boat. I wanted to see the amazing views again, so this time I joined with my daughter. Although the weather wasn't perfect, the scenery was much better than last time, and we were fortunate to encounter a school of manta rays, which is quite rare. I appreciated the timing of this trip. The relaxed atmosphere from the captain and the staff was great for us as repeat visitors.
The BBQ lunch we had on the boat was grilled directly by the captain himself, making for a perfect lunchtime while enjoying the views. It was delicious! After lunch, we went snorkeling and swam with beautiful tropical fish and turtles around the coral reefs.
Thank you to the Japanese staff member, Yukiko. I visit Hawaii every year, and I will definitely join the tour again next year!
2年前のお正月に家族で初めてサンドバーへのツアーに参加しましたが、天気も悪かったせいで、寒すぎてウエットスーツをお借りして、船の中で震えていたことが残念に思えていました。
最高の景色をもう一度見たくて、今回娘と二人で参加しました。
晴天とは言えなったのですが、前回よりも遙かに景色もよく、なかなか見ることのできない、マンタの群れに遭遇するなど、今回のタイミングに感謝でした。船長さんをはじめ、スタッフさんのラフな感じが2度目の私たちにはとてもよかったです。
船の中で食べたBBQランチは、船長さん本人がグリルで直接焼いてくれて、景色を眺めながら最高のランチタイムでした。美味しかったです!
ランチ後のシュノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁の周りにいるきれいな熱帯魚や亀と一緒に泳いだりできました。
スタッフの日本人女性ユキコ?さん、ありがとうございました。

I think there were no issues with the pick-up service. They came to pick us up at the hotel right on time. The weather was bad from the morning, and although it hadn't started raining yet, it was the coldest day in Hawaii. The explanation for snorkeling was longer than expected, and while we listened to it in the water, my husband and I were shivering, but we finally couldn't take it anymore and went back to the boat to drink some warm tea (laughs). The others also looked quite cold. By the time the return bus came to pick us up, it had started to rain quite a bit, which was disappointing, but I think it would be enjoyable if the weather is good. ★
送迎などは何の問題もなかったと思います。きちんと時間どうりにホテルへ迎えに来てくれました。朝から天気が悪く雨までは降っていなかったのですがハワイで一番寒い日でした。シュノーケリングの説明が思った以上に長く、海に浸かったまま話を聞くので主人と二人でぶるぶる震えながら頑張っていましたがとうとう耐え切れず船に戻ってあたたかいお茶をのんでいました(笑)ほかの方たちもかなりさむそうにしていました。帰りのバスが迎えに来る頃にはかなりの雨がふりだし、残念でしたが、天候さえよければ楽しめると思います★

I had been looking forward to this place for a long time. It was sunny, but as soon as we got on the boat, it started to rain... Fortunately, it stopped quickly. What impressed me the most was the service. The staff promptly wiped down the benches that had gotten wet from the rain. I didn't expect that at all since I was in my swimsuit and it was overseas, so I was really happy about it. Also, surprisingly, the boat's restroom was clean!
In addition to seeing sea turtles, we also spotted manta rays (which are said to be rare), and I was very satisfied with the snorkeling experience. The staff were all kind and entertaining. The lunch was delicious too; the captain grilled hamburgers on the boat, which made for great burgers.
The only downside was that the sandbar was a bit deep. But that can change from day to day, so I just had bad luck... I'm thinking about trying again next year. I would like to go with the same tour company as this time.
前々から行きたかった場所でとても楽しみにしていました。晴れていたのですが船に乗って早々雨が…
でもすぐ止んだので良かったです。でもここで良かったのはサービス。雨に濡れたベンチをスタッフの方がきちんと拭いて下さりました。水着だしましてや海外だし全くそんな事期待していなかったのにとても嬉しかったです。また船のお手洗いも意外にもキレイ!!

The sandbars you see on TV only appear when you calculate the tides. If you happen to experience a water depth of around your ankles, I think you’re quite lucky. The world you see on TV might be a bit difficult to experience on a tour, unless you rent a private boat and plan the date and time accordingly. When I went, it was from mid to late September, and the shallowest part was about halfway up my thighs.
Indeed, the water near the sandbar was clear and beautiful. However, it rained, and the overall experience was somewhat lacking.
The hamburgers made on the boat were delicious. The patties were frozen, but they grilled them on a BBQ, so they tasted great.
The issue came after lunch. We moved from the sandbar to an area with lots of coral for snorkeling. They took us to a place where you could say the coral spread over a large area. We were warned not to touch the coral, but depending on the tides, in shallow areas, the coral was about 30 cm below the surface. Can you swim in such places? The coral wasn’t particularly beautiful, and there weren’t many fish, so I didn’t feel the joy of snorkeling at all. Additionally, I was the only one who got stung by jellyfish multiple times on both shoulders and hands, having to endure pain and itching. You could say I was unlucky, but for this kind of experience, it felt overpriced.
テレビで観るようなサンドバーは潮の満ち引きを計算しないと現れません。
偶然にも足首程度の水深を体験出来た方は、かなりラッキーだと思います。
テレビで観るような世界は、ちょっとツアーでは難しいかな?プライベートで借り切って、日にちや時間も計算して行くなら別ですけど。
私が行った時は9月中旬~下旬にかけてでしたが、1番浅い所で太股の中間ぐらいでした。
確かにサンドバー近くは海は透き通っていて、きれいではありました。
しかし、雨は降るし、何とも言えない感じでした。
ただ船の上で作ってくれるハンバーガーは美味しかったです。( ´艸`)パテは冷凍物ですが、BBQ用のコンロ?で焼いてくれるので、美味しかったです。
問題はランチを食べた後。
サンドバーから、珊瑚がたくさんあるところへ移動して、シュノーケリングをします。確かに珊瑚のの岩と言ってもいいぐらい大きい範囲にわたって珊瑚がある場所に連れて行ってくれます。
珊瑚には触らないようにと注意を受けましたが、潮の具合なのか浅いところだと水面から30cmぐらいの所に珊瑚があります。こんな所で泳げますか??
特にキレイ珊瑚でもないし、魚がたくさんいるわけでもなく、シュノーケリングの楽しさが全く感じられませんでした。
そして私だけクラゲにたくさん刺されて両肩、両手と痛みと痒みに耐えなければなりませんでした。
運がなかったと言えばそれまでですが、こんな内容に対しては高いという感じです。

I was expecting a beach that looked like the one in the photos, but after a one-hour bus ride (and a late pickup) and a 20-minute boat ride, I arrived at just a beautiful sea. The water was only waist-deep, so it felt like I paid a lot of money just to soak in a nice sea. The guide was friendly and had a great attitude, so I gave it two stars, but it was still very disappointing.
写真で見たようなビーチの出現を期待していましたが、バスで1時間(しかもピックアップは遅れ)、船で20分ほどの移動で訪れたのはただの綺麗な海、といった感じでした。深さが腰ほどまであったので高いお金を払って綺麗な海に浸かりにいったようなものでした。ガイドの方は気さくでとても感じがよかったので星は2つにしましたが、その分とても残念でした。

The Japanese guide was very attentive and made the experience enjoyable. However, the water level was higher than waist height due to high tide. I recommend going during low tide! It's a good idea to bring a large bath towel and a phone that can be hung around your neck! Also, since changing rooms can get crowded, it's advisable to wear your swimsuit from the start and have an outfit like a dress for quick changes!
日本語のガイドのお姉さんがとても気が利いて楽しめました。ただ、満潮時だったので腰より高い位置に水位がありました。干潮時に行くのがオススメです!大きなバスタオルと携帯を首からかけられるのを持っていくと良いですね!あと着替えが混むので元から水着を着てワンピースなどで早着替えできる格好がおすすめです!

I've always wanted to visit Sandbar♡ I went there on my honeymoon. At the start of the tour, it was rainy and cloudy... just when I was feeling anxious, the sky cleared up!!!! I couldn't contain my excitement at the breathtaking scenery that exceeded my expectations☆彡 For those who will be participating, I highly recommend taking the smaller boat♡ You might get splashed by the waves, but you can enjoy lunch without waiting, and you get to see sea turtles and mantas up close!! The mantas were swimming in a circle, feeding on plankton, which is said to be a rare sight. The turtles even came to greet us while we were scuba diving, and I was so happy to swim with them♡ I also learned that it was a filming location for Jurassic Park and Pirates, which added to the excitement♡ If you visit Hawaii, you definitely should check it out♡
以前から行きたかったサンドバー♡
ハネムーンで行かせていただきました。
ツアー始めは雨で曇り...不安に思っていたところで晴天に!!!!
期待以上の光景に興奮が止まりませんでした☆彡
これから参加される方はぜひちっちゃい方の船に乗ることをおすすめします♡
波しぶきで濡れることはありますが、昼食は待たずに食べられるし、海ガメやマンタを間近で見ることができました!!
マンタは群れで円陣を組んでクルクル回りながらプランクトンを食べていました。なかなか見れない珍しい光景との事です。
カメちゃんはスキューバ中にも会いに来てくれて一緒に泳げて幸せー♡

The weather wasn't very good, the water was cold, and due to the tides, the sandy beach that you see in pictures was completely invisible. However, I was able to have an experience that I normally wouldn't get to have. It was a strange feeling to be standing in the middle of the ocean.
On the way to the sandbar, I was thrilled to see sea turtles and manta rays.
Also, the breakfast sandwich was simple but very delicious.
Even if you don't go snorkeling, you can enjoy playing in the water near the boat without getting soaked, so you can have fun even if you're not confident in your swimming skills.
あまり天気が良くなく、水も冷たく、干満の関係で写真で見るような砂浜もまったく見えない状態でしたが、普段、できないような体験ができました。海の真ん中に立っている不思議な感覚です。

I checked the tide levels when I signed up, so I knew that the sandbar would have water at least up to my knees on certain days, but the snorkeling experience was terrible.
We departed with over 60 people on a large bus, and the number increased even more at the location. With that many people, we were just taken in a line around a designated course and that was it. The snorkeling time was about 5 minutes? It felt more like a swimming lesson for kids. It would have been better not to do it at all.
The guide and crew had a good vibe and took photos and provided services, but the tour program itself was just too awful. I do not recommend it.
申し込む時点で潮位を調べてたので、サンドバーは少なくとも膝上くらいまでは水が出ある日、ということは分かってたけどシュノーケリングがひどかった。
大型バスに60名以上で出発し、現地でさらに人数が増える。その人数で、一列になって決められたコースをぐるっと回らされて終わり。シュノーケリング時間は5分くらい?子どもの水泳訓練か何かですか?という感じ。これならやらない方がマシだった。
ガイドさんやクルーのノリは良いし、写真を撮ったりサービスしてくれるけどツアープログラム自体がひどすぎる。お勧めしません。

I participated in the morning session. I chose a date that would allow me to go to the sandbar around low tide, but the water level was about knee-deep. Moreover, it was the day before a hurricane approached, so the weather wasn't great, but the sea turtles seemed accustomed to people and came to play near the anchored boats, swimming close enough that it felt like they might bump into us. I didn't have high expectations for the food since it was just light snacks, but it was delicious. The snorkeling was enjoyable and at a manageable distance. I don't think it's necessary to buy and bring reef shoes. It's better to assume there are no changing rooms. I also think it's considerate that you can download one group photo for free.
午前の部に参加しました。なるべくサンドバーに行く時間が干潮になるような日付を選びましたが、潮位は膝下ぐらいでした。しかもハリケーン接近の前日でだったのでお天気はいまいちでしたが海亀さんは人に慣れているのか停泊中のボート付近に遊びに来てくれて向こうからぶつかってきそうな所で泳いでくれました。食事も軽食とあったので期待はしていませんでしたが美味しかったです。シュノーケルも無理ない距離で楽しく出来ました。リーフシューズは買って持っていくまでもないと思います。更衣室はないと思った方が良いです。集合写真を1枚だけ無料ダウンロード出来るのも良心的だと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I hope you were able to meet the honu and take home lots of happiness!
Please note that there are no changing rooms or lockers during the tour. Participants should come wearing their swimsuits from their rooms and will return to the hotel in their swimsuits as well. Even if you don't plan to participate in snorkeling, you will need to get into the water when visiting the sandbar, so please make sure to wear clothes that can get wet.

I went to Hawaii to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday. About ten years ago, when we came together, my mother also went into the ocean, but I was wondering if she would this time. To my delight, the beautiful sea encouraged her to join in, and she was very happy. She says she wants to go again while she's still healthy. The guide was also kind and had interesting stories to share.
母の喜寿のお祝いに行ったハワイでした。10年位前に一緒に来た時には母も海に入りましたが、今回はどうかなぁと思っていたところ、あまりのきれいな海に母も一緒に海に入って喜んでいました。元気なうちにもう一度行きたいと言っています。案内の女性の方も親切でお話も面白かったです。

Unfortunately, due to the rain, we couldn't fully enjoy the beautiful emerald blue sea, but we had a great time with the sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling. The BBQ lunch was very delicious. The guide, as well as the captain and crew, were friendly and very kind. I would like to participate again when the weather is nice. (The weather is always a matter of luck on the day...)
あいにくの雨で、美しいエメラルドブルーの海を満喫という訳にはいきませんでしたが、サンドバーとウミガメウォッチング、スノーケルを楽しみました。
BBQランチ、とても美味しかったです。ガイドさんをはじめ、船長やクルーもフレンドリーでとても優しく親切でした。今度は良い天気の時に参加したいです。(天候ばかりは当日の運ですが…)

Due to the approaching hurricane, the waves were high and the visibility was poor. Haha. I was looking forward to turtle watching, but it seems the turtles evacuated as well, so I couldn't see them... Well, it's a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped! The hamburger for lunch was delicious!
ハリケーン接近の為、波が高く透明度も悪かった〜。笑 海ガメウォッチングも楽しみにしてたけどカメも避難したらしく見れず… まあ、自然現象なので、仕方ない!ランチのハンバーガーは、美味しかったー!

We are a couple in our 50s, participating with our 4th-year university daughter. We were unsure about the morning program, but this plan turned out to be the right choice. The sandbar was beautiful, but there weren't many fish while snorkeling, so it felt a bit lacking. However, the snorkeling after moving to the coral reef was absolutely satisfying. We experienced schools of fish and saw a turtle up close in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to thank the man who entertained us on the bus and Yuki, who was very attentive on the boat. My wife and daughter were also very satisfied!
54歳同士の夫婦、大学4年生の娘と3人で参加。午前中のプログラムと迷いましたが、このプランで正解。サンドバーは綺麗でしたが、シュノーケリングしても魚もいないので、こんなものかなぁと。その後の、珊瑚棚に移動してからのシュノーケリングが大満足。魚の群れ入るは、海の中でホヌが至近で見られるは、これまでに無い経験。ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったし、行きのバスを盛り上げてくれたおじさん、船でいろいろと気を使ってくれたユキさん、ありがとうございました。かみさんも娘も大満足でした!

We had a great time and it's definitely worthwhile to check out the Sandbar. The water is just beautiful and great snorkelling too. Lunch was also very decent. We had hamburger and pineapples and tortilla chips on the side. The only thing that bothered us was that the Captain kept on assuming we are Japanese and that we don't speak English (given that there are a lot of Japanese tourists on the boat). He repeatedly tried to communicate with us in very broken Japanese. We look Asian, but we are Canadian and we don't understand Japanese. I always reply him in English but he keeps forgetting that we speak English. Maybe he thinks we all look the same. He loved making conversations in English with Caucasian guests, called out the non-Asian names on his list of guests, and ask them where they were from, whether they were celebrating an occasion, but made no effort to talk to us the same way. The translator, think his name was Freddie, initially assumed we were Japanese too but caught on right away that we are English speakers which was great. Other staff were very nice and helpful. Overall we did have a great time and I would recommend this, only the Captain frustrated us a little.

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. It's usually calm in the inland sea, but there are days when the waves can be high. Please come back and visit us again. Mahalo!
