I finally got to visit the sandbar that I had wanted to go to for a long time. The Japanese guide was very friendly and fun, and we were able to take family photos in various poses at the sandbar, which became a wonderful memory! It was also great for my second grader to practice snorkeling in the shallow waters around the sandbar. We even got to see a large sea turtle, making it the best day ever!
ずっと行きたかったサンドバーに、ついに行くことが、できました。日本人ガイドの方も、とても気さくで楽しくて、サンドバーでは、色々なポーズの家族写真を撮って頂けて、とても良い記念になりました!
2年生の子供にとっては、サンドバー辺りの浅瀬でシュノーケルの練習ができたのも、よかったです。大きな海亀にも会え、最高の1日が過ごせました!

In July, I participated in a turtle watching cruise tour that included lunch. In the morning, we relaxed at a sandbar, had lunch, watched the turtles, and then went snorkeling. There were people who spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy a fun time without worry.
However, there was no place to change, so I felt like I had to get on the bus while still wet. It might be a good idea to bring extra towels and be careful not to catch a cold on the bus.
7月にウミガメウォッチングクルーズランチ付のツアーに参加しました。
午前中は、サンドバーでのんびりし、ランチを挟んでウミガメを見て、その後シュノーケリングをしました。日本語を話せる人もいたし、安心して楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、着替える場所がないため、帰りのバスは濡れたまま乗る感じでした。
多めにタオルをもって、バスの中で風邪をひかないよう気を付けたほうがいいかもしれません。

This time, I checked the tide schedule in advance and made a reservation.
On the day of the trip, unfortunately, the weather was terrible with heavy rain... We boarded the boat and first went to see the sea turtles. The sandbar we saw on the way to see the sea turtles was very beautiful. We were able to see several sea turtles, which was great.
After that, we headed to the sandbar... Huh?? The part of the sandbar that was above the water was much narrower than what we saw on the way to see the turtles??? While we were looking at the sea turtles, the tide came in over time, and we couldn't see the sandbar as much as we had hoped. On top of that, the weather was unfortunate...
I checked the tide schedule and chose a day with a big tide, but I learned that the timing of low tide is also very important. I hope there will be a day when I can try again.
今回、予め潮順をみて申込みました。
当日は、あいにくのお天気でどしゃぶり・・・
船に乗り、最初にウミガメを見に行きました。
ウミガメを見に行く際に見えたサンドバーは、とても綺麗に見えました。
ウミガメは、何匹も見えてとても良かったです。
その後、サンドバーへ。。。
あれれ??カメを見に行く途中に見えたサンドバーよりもかなり海面に出ている部分が狭くなっている???
ウミガメを先に見に行っている間に、時間の経過とともに潮が満ちてきて思っていたほどのサンドバーを見ることができませんでした。
そのうえあいにくのお天気・・・
潮順を見て、大潮の日を選んで申し込みましたが、やはり干潮の時間もとても大事なことを知りました。
いつかまたリベンジできる日があるといいです。

Sea turtle watching, going down to the sea for photo time, returning to the boat once to put on snorkeling gear, and heading back to the sea again. We had plenty of time and really enjoyed it. I had checked the low tide times on the website, so everything was perfect. When we were leaving, the afternoon tour group was arriving, but the sandy beach had already sunk, so I think it's essential to check the tide schedule before booking! We saw a lot of fish, and my husband was very satisfied. I only used a digital camera on the boat and took photos with my iPhone covered. Many people were without cameras on the water, but the scenery is so beautiful that I think it's worth bringing one. You can't press the shutter underwater, but I was able to capture a lot of fish on video. Tips are not forcibly requested; I think a small amount is fine. We were able to return to the hotel by 11:30, so we made good use of our time. I definitely want to recommend this to my friends!
海亀ウォッチング、海へ降りて写真タイム、1度船へ戻りシュノーケリング装着してもう1度海へ。
時間も十分とっていただいており、満喫できました。
サイトで干潮時間も調べていたのでバッチリでした。
帰る時、午後のツアーの方が来られていましたが、もう砂浜は沈んでしまっていたので、申込前に必ず満ち引きを調べた方がいいと思います!
魚もたくさん見れて、旦那も大満足でした。
デジカメは船上だけにして、iPhoneカバーつけて写真撮影しました。
水上ではカメラ無しの方も多かったですが、本当に景色が綺麗なのでぜひ用意した方がいいと思います。
水中はシャッターが押せませんが、ムービーでたくさん魚を撮影できました☆
チップは無理に要求もされません。気持ち程度で大丈夫だと思います。
しっかり11:30にホテルに戻れたので時間も有効活用できました。
ぜひ友人にもおすすめしたいと思います♪

Since deciding to go to Hawaii in July a year ago, I searched for the day with the lowest tide during my itinerary and made a reservation. The water level dropped to my ankles, and it truly felt like a heavenly sea! I was warmly welcomed by many honu (sea turtles) of all sizes! I even spotted a honu resting among the corals while snorkeling. I also enjoyed paddle surfing and canoeing! The sandwiches for lunch were delicious!
7月にハワイ行きを決めた1年前から、行程内の一番潮位が低い日を探し、予約しました。
くるぶし位まで海面が下がり、ホントに天国の海!

I saw a decent amount of fish while snorkeling, and they were keeping a proper watch, so I had no concerns about safety.

I participated with my 3-year-old son and my mother. I was a bit anxious about joining since my son was with me, but he ended up having a great time. We encountered a few rain showers, but the weather was generally good, and the sandbar was shallow enough to just below our knees, with beautiful water.
Although my son and I didn't participate in snorkeling, we were happy because they lent us a boat while we waited, so we didn't get bored. We were able to see sea turtles several times, but it was hard for my son to spot them, and he said he couldn't see the turtles, which was a bit disappointing.
I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii next time.
3歳の息子と母と参加しました。
息子が一緒だったので参加するまでは不安でしたが、かなり喜んでいました。何回かスコールにはあいましたが、それでも天気は良くサンドバーも膝下で海もきれいでした。
私と息子はシュノーケリングに参加しなかったのですが、待っている間ボートを貸してくれたため喜んでおり暇することもなかったです。
ウミガメは何度か見ることができましたが息子には分かりづらくカメ見えないと言っていたのが残念でした。

This was my second trip to Hawaii. I wanted to visit the sandbar that I couldn't go to last time, so I made a reservation. The sandbar appeared when the tide went out, and I was able to lie down and relax for a while. Since it was the day before Independence Day, we couldn't drink beer on the beach, but it felt great to enjoy a beer from the back of the boat. We also had a full hour of snorkeling, and it was a great experience to encounter a turtle. Although there was some fatigue from the travel and a bit of waiting time, I think it's an activity I would recommend.
ハワイには二度目の旅行。前回立ち寄れなかったサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込み。サンドバーは波の引いた時に砂地が顔を出す感じでしたが、寝そべったり、のんびりと時間を過ごせました。独立記念日の前日で祝日対応となり、海でビールを飲めませんでしたが、船尾の突きだしたところからビールが飲めて、それは気持ち良かったです。シュノーケリングも1時間たっぷりあり、カメにも出会えて良い体験になりました。移動や若干の待ち時間などで疲れは出ますが、オススメのアクティビティだと思います。

Departure from the back of the Hyatt Regency. I was first surprised by the large number of people, as the bus was almost full.
Before boarding, there was a restroom break, and we were instructed that we could use either the onboard or the outside facilities. However, it's wise to board early to secure a seat, and there are several opportunities to gather at the front, so sitting towards the front is best.
The sea turtle watching was from the boat, and personally, I got bored quickly, but there were quite a few sea turtles.
The sandbar, depending on the time of year, didn't have sand exposed above the water's surface, but it was a fascinating space. It was difficult to take good photos.
After enjoying the sandbar, we went snorkeling near the nearby reef. With a large group and no fins, it was hard to move around, and since the time was short, I thought it might be nice to skip snorkeling and relax on the sandbar instead (families with children seemed to do that).
Also, from the boat, we could see filming locations like Jurassic Park, which felt like a little bonus.
ハイアットリージェンリーの裏からの出発。大型バスがほぼ満員という人の多さにまずは驚きました。
乗船前にトイレ休憩があり、船内・船外のどちらでも使って良いと指示されますが、早めに乗船して座席を確保するのが吉で、かつ何度か前方に集合する機会があるので、前方がベストです。
ウミガメウォッチングは船上からで個人的にはすぐに飽きてしまいましたが、結構な数のウミガメがいました。
サンドバーは時間帯的に(時季的に?)砂が水面上に出てはいなかったですが、不思議な空間でした。写真を上手く撮るのが難しかったですね。。
シュノーケリングはサンドバーを楽しんだ後に、近くのリーフ横を回ります。大人数ですし、フィンもなかったので動きづらく、さらに時間も短いので、シュノーケリングはパスしてサンドバーの上でゆっくり過ごすのもアリかなと思いました(子供連れの方はそうされていました)。
また、船上から、ジュラシックパーク等の撮影場所もみることができ、少し得した気分です。

It was a good decision to check the tide levels and make a reservation before departure. I thought there would be more sand, but I was able to enjoy it up to my ankles. However, since it's a sandbar program, it would have been nice if they could have swapped it out for turtle watching.

We participated as a family with our 0-year-old and 2-year-old children. After departing, we first went turtle watching before heading to the sandbar. The sandbar was perfect, and we were really excited! The water was shallow with almost no waves, so the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, which was a bit disappointing.
We were able to fully enjoy the turtles and the sandbar in a short time and returned to the hotel before noon, making it a satisfying tour. The weather is a matter of luck, but I think it would be truly beautiful if it were sunny.
If we can come back to Hawaii, I would like to try again.
For those planning to participate, a waterproof camera is a must. A selfie stick also seemed convenient. Additionally, while you won't need to spend money, tips are separate, so please don't forget to bring some.
0歳、2歳の子供と家族で参加しました。
出港してからまずウミガメウォッチングをしてからサンドバーへ向かいました。
サンドバーもバッチリ出ていて、テンション上がりました!波がほとんどなく浅いので、子供も安心して楽しんでいました。ただ、天気があいにくの曇り空で残念でした。。
短時間でウミガメとサンドバーを満喫して昼前にはホテルに戻れるので、時間も有効に使えて満足のツアーでした。天気は運ですが、晴れてたら本当に綺麗なんだろうなーと思います。
またハワイに来れたらリベンジしたいです。

The weather was unfortunately rainy and then cloudy, but I’m really glad I participated in this tour! Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was surprising because the volleyball was really hard (laughs), but it was so much fun with the crew and all the participants! We had the afternoon plan, and while moving to the snorkeling spot, we were all excited to spot a sea turtle from the boat! During snorkeling, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles twice, which was incredibly moving! After lunch, we had about an hour to snorkel freely around the coral reef, where everyone could swim around the vast coral formations or take a break on the boat. Some participants didn’t get to see a sea turtle, so I think it’s all about luck! This was a tour I would definitely recommend to others, and I was very satisfied!
I highly recommend applying sunscreen, as the difference between the areas where I applied it and where I didn’t is too extreme!

I joined because a friend wanted to go to Sandbar. Since we could return to Waikiki by lunchtime, it seemed like a good use of time, so we chose this course. The Japanese female guide was very cheerful, cool, and kind. The drinks provided included both cold and warm options, which was great for me since I tend to get cold easily.
We were able to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was really fun! However, we encountered a sudden downpour, and the waves became rough, so we had to retreat to the boat early. That was disappointing.
After getting out of the water, we were first offered warm drinks and had sandwiches. They were simple, but I enjoyed them. The saltiness might have been good for fatigue.
Although I had taken a seat on the boat, my jacket got wet from the downpour, so the ride back felt like being in a freezer... It's common in various places in Hawaii, but the air conditioning is really strong! I was concerned about the cold on the bus, so I brought a jacket, but I had to return in a wet swimsuit, and my jacket got wet too, so I thought I would freeze on the way back...
I recommend being well-prepared for cold weather!
サンドバーに行きたい!という友人の希望で参加。
お昼にはワイキキに戻って来れるので、時間も有効に使えそうということで、このコースにしました。
ガイドの日本人女性がとっても明るくてカッコよくて親切でした。提供されるドリンクも、冷たいものと温かいものがあり、冷え性の私には嬉しかったです。
ウミガメも観れたし、シュノーケリングもすごく楽しかった!のですが、途中でスコールに遭ってしまい、波が荒れてきて早々にボートに退散。残念でした。
海から上がると、まず温かいドリンクが提供され、サンドイッチをいただきました。シンプルなものでしたが、美味しくいただきました。塩気が疲れに良かったのかも。
ボートの中に席を取っていたものの、スコールで上着が濡れてしまったため、そこから帰りの道中がまるで冷凍庫の中にいるようでした...
ハワイのあちこちで共通することなのですが、とにかく空調がキツイ!なので、バスの中での寒さを懸念して、ある程度の上着は持っていきましたが、濡れた水着のままで帰らねばならず、スコールで上着も濡れてしまっていたので、帰りは凍えるかと思いました。。。

The description of "heavenly sea" is not an exaggeration! It was truly a mysterious sea. We played beach volleyball and enjoyed freshly grilled burgers on the boat. I was impressed that all the women were both steering the boat and giving instructions. I was also very satisfied to see sea turtles! I want to go again!
天国の海という形容は言い過ぎではありません!ほんとうに不思議な海でした。ビーチバレーをしたり、船でやきたてのバーガーを食べたり。みんな女の人たちが船の操縦もインストラクトも行っていてすごいなあと思いました。ウミガメもばっちり見られて満足でした!また行きたい!

When selecting a tour, please first check the tide levels. You can find the tide chart for Honolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) at this site: http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html. Choose a time when the tide is low (either morning or afternoon). On the day of participation, the tide was 0.5ft according to this site, and the actual sea level was about 30cm.
Initially, I wanted to join a tour from a different company, but it was already fully booked. However, in the end, it turned out to be the right choice for me.
Comparing the two tours, the one I participated in had a slightly later meeting time, allowing for a more relaxed morning (perhaps less time spent picking up from hotels?), and it included about an hour of snorkeling, which was set for approximately 30 minutes longer. Overall, the time allocation was quite leisurely. If you have time and are interested in snorkeling, I recommend this one.
The sandbar was indeed impressive, but perhaps due to having seen many beautiful photos in advance and the overcast weather with strong winds, it was a feeling I had anticipated. On the other hand, the snorkeling experience exceeded my expectations. I was initially hesitant and observed from the boat, but seeing how much fun the other participants were having, I decided to take the plunge and enter the water.
I had participated in hotel-sponsored snorkeling in Okinawa a couple of times, but compared to that, the scale was different. The corals and tropical fish were dynamic! Since we wore life jackets, I didn't feel much fear. I encourage those who are not confident in swimming to give it a try. A wonderful world awaits. Initially, I thought the snorkeling time would feel long, but it passed in no time. So, this tour was indeed the right choice for me.
The voucher included a note about necessary items to bring, such as a camera, towel, and a sense of adventure. It was a perfectly accurate comment. Thank you, VELTRA.
Finally, at the end of the tour, remember to tip before disembarking. It's an American-style system, so don't forget to provide an appropriate tip.
ツアーを選択する時は先ず、潮位を確認してください。このサイトですHonolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) Tide Chart http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html)。
潮位が低い時間帯(午前or午後)を選んでください。参加当日のこのサイトによる潮位は0.5ftで、実際の海面は30cm程度でした。
当初は、異なる会社の方のツアーを希望しましたが既に予約終了。然しながら、結果的には当方の場合、正解でした。
2つのツアーを比較すると、参加したツアーは集合時間が少し遅く朝がゆっくり(ホテルを廻る時間が短い?)、シュノーケリングの時間が約1時間あり、30分程度長めに設定されています。総じて、ゆったりとした時間配分です。時間があり、シュノーケリングに興味がある方にはこちらがお薦め。
サンドバーは、事前に沢山の綺麗な写真を見ていたせいか、天気が曇りがちで風が強かったせいか、確かに感動的でしたが、想定内の感動でした。
一方、シュノーケリングは想像以上の感動でした。泳ぎに自信がなく、当初は、ボートで見学していましたが、参加者が余りに楽しそうなので思い切って海に入ってみました。
沖縄で2回ほどホテル主催のシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、それと比べるとスケール感が違いました。珊瑚も熱帯魚もダイナミック!!
ライフジャケット着用なので、怖さはあまり感じません。泳ぎに自信がない方も是非チャレンジしてください。素晴らしい世界が広がっています。当初、シュノーケリングの時間が長いと思っていましたが、あっという間に。ということで、こちらのツアーの方が当方には正解でした。
バウチャーの案内文に、参加時に必要な持参品として、カメラ、タオル、冒険心・・とありました。正に、的を射たコメントでした。VELTRAさんに感謝です。
最後に、ツアーの最後にチップを入れて下船します。アメリカ式システムなので相応のチップを忘れずに。

The sandbar had water levels up to my waist, but I had fun participating in beach volleyball, even though I wasn't very good at it. It was an amazing experience to encounter a sea turtle while snorkeling.
サンドバーは腰あたりまで水位がありましたが、ビーチバレーも下手ながら楽しく参加させていただきました。シュノーケリングでウミガメに出会えたのは感動でした。
