Our entire family loved this day cruise. The crew on the boat were all very knowledgeable and the sandbar, turtle bay and reef were all some of the coolest sights we saw on Oahu. Hope you get Jenner on your boat, he's the best! He went out snorkeling on the reef with my husband and showed him all kinds of cool stuff!

I participated with my wife and mother. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which dampened our spirits a bit, but thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. First, the sea turtles were quite elusive, but finally, one appeared in the distance, and everyone was excited! We checked the tide schedule for the sandbar and arrived just as the tide was low enough to expose it to our ankles, allowing us to take photos in various poses. We walked about 100 meters from the boat to the sandbar, and since the water depth near the boat was about 80 cm, it seemed difficult for my 88-year-old mother to disembark and walk, so we decided to have her wait on the boat. My wife and I headed to the sandbar, but when we looked back towards the boat, we saw my mother being helped by two staff members as they brought her over. Thanks to them, my mother safely arrived at the sandbar and was very happy. I was moved by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration of the staff. The sea, scenery, and the tour itself were wonderful, but the staff who supported it were also amazing.
家内と母親と3名で参加しました。当日はあいにく曇り、時々雨という天気で、気分も曇りがちでしたが、スタッフの方々の盛り上げで楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。まず海がめ、
なかなか現れませんでしたが、やっと一匹遠くに現れ、みんな大騒ぎ!でした。サンドバーは一番潮が引く時間を調べて参加したので、予定通り足首位いまで潮が引き、思い思いのポーズで写真を撮り合いました。船からサンドバーまで約100m位歩き、また下船するあたりの水深は80cm位あるので、88歳のの母親には下船し歩くのは無理そうでしたので、船で待ってもらう事し、家内と二人でサンドバーに向かいましたが、我々がサンドバー近くで船の方向を見ると、母親がスタッフ二人にに両脇を抱えられてこちらに向かってくるのが分かりました。お陰様で母親もサンドバーに無事到着し大変喜びでした。スタッフの方々の優しさ、思いやり、そして気配りに感動しました、海も風景も企画も素晴らしいツアーですが、それを支えるスタッフの皆さんも素晴らしい方々です。

It was a day with cloudy skies and occasional rain when I visited (during Golden Week in 2015), but fortunately, it hardly rained at all, and the weak sunlight occasionally broke through, making the color of the sea shine beautifully.
When a sea turtle popped its head up from the boat, it truly made my heart flutter! Just seeing the turtle (which is called "honu" in Hawaiian) is so soothing! For a while after returning home, just thinking about the honu brought me peace of mind.
I really want to go see the honu again! I highly recommend this tour where you can see such turtles! I hope to join the sandbar tour again next time when the weather is nice. I was also able to snorkel with peace of mind.
Everyone, please consider joining this tour!
私が行ったときは曇り時々雨、、というのが気になった日(2015年のGW)でしたが、幸いほとんど雨も降ることなく、弱い日差しが時々入り込み、そのときは海の色が輝いてとてもきれいでした。
そしてウミガメさんが船上から顔を出してくれた時は、本当に心トキメキものでした!!
カメ(ハワイ語ではホヌというんですって)って、ただ見るだけで癒されるんですね~!
帰国後しばらくは、ホヌ様のことを考えているだけで、心ホッとしたものです。。
またホヌ様に会いに行きたいなぁ~、って思っています。
そんなカメを見ることができるこちらのツアーお勧めです!
サンドバーは、次回は天気の良い時にまた参加できたらいいな、と思っています。
シュノーケリングも安心してさせていただくことができましたよ。
みなさんぜひこちらのツアーご参加くださいまし!

This time, the weather wasn't great for the heavenly sea. The sandbar didn't appear, but perhaps it was because it was Captain Bruce's tour? I felt very satisfied. The meals served on the boat were more than enough. The staff were also kind, and next time, I definitely want to see the sandbar at low tide. I would like to choose Captain Bruce's tour again for that occasion.
天気に恵まなかった今回の天国の海でした。サンドバーも出なかったけど、キャプテンブルースのツアーだったからか?満足感いっぱいです。船の上で食べる食事にしては十分過ぎる程でした。スタッフの方々も親切で、次回こそは干潮時にサンドバーを必ず見たいなー。その時もキャプテンブルースのツアーにしたいと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. Unfortunately, it seems the weather wasn't on our side...

I love Hawaii and its people, so I don't want to write anything negative, but it was just too terrible...
- We gathered early in the morning at the Sheraton meeting point. However, even when it was time to gather, there was no sign of the guide or bus. After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, and seeing that others with the same voucher were also anxious, I called the number on the voucher. The response was normal (in English), and the bus arrived shortly after.
- The person who came out was a dark-skinned man (somewhat homeless-looking). He didn't say a word about the delay and led us into the vehicle without any friendliness.
- Well, we tried to shake it off and after a few minutes on the bus, we arrived at the port. I was excited, but there was no sign of any boat arriving. The guide didn't even say "just wait a moment," and was off to the side smoking a cigarette. He really didn't say anything at all.
- After waiting another 20 minutes, two boats finally arrived, and I thought we could finally board! However, the preparations were slow. Just when I thought we were ready to board, they said, "Americans, Canadians, and Australians, please go to this boat!" and we were directed to board first. After that, a few groups of Japanese people were called to the same boat. Once they all boarded, they said, "The remaining Japanese, come over here!" (in a joking manner, all in English) and directed us to a different boat. While I didn't feel much difference in the facilities or crowding on the boats, I experienced a sense of racial discrimination for the first time in Hawaii. After being made to wait for so long, to receive that kind of treatment without even an apology was quite unpleasant. It wasn't that one boat was entirely in English and they separated people based on language ability; both were guided in Japanese.
- The subsequent service was fairly normal and somewhat friendly, and the experience in the beautiful sea was enjoyable.
- However, considering the poor service, I cannot recommend this place. I think it would be better to choose another tour company if there is one available.
- Also, according to Hawaii state law, life jackets are mandatory, and everyone was wearing them on the dolphin tour the day before, but on this tour, they said, "If you're confident, it's okay not to wear one!" Is safety management okay?
- That's all. I often use Veltra, but the operators they recommend are honestly really bad.
ハワイとハワイの人達は好きなのでなるべく悪いことは書きたくないものの、あまりにも酷かったので。。
・シェラトンの集合場所に朝早く集合。しかし、集合時間になってもそれらしいガイド&バスは全然現れず。。20分近く待って、同じバウチャーを持ってる他の人たちも不安そうだったので、バウチャーの電話番号に電話。対応は普通(英語)で、すぐバスが現れました。
・出てきたのは黒く焼けたおじさん(やや浮浪者風)。遅れたことに対して一言もなく、無愛想に車内に案内される。
・まあ、気を取り直してバスで数十分。港に到着。いよいよかーと思って待ってたものの、それらしき船が到着する雰囲気無し。ガイドのおっさんは、「ちょっとまっててね」すら言わず、はじっこでタバコ吸ってる。本当に何も話さない。
・また20分ほど待つと、船が2隻到着し、やっと乗れるー!と思ったものの、準備はモタモタ。乗船準備が整ったと思ったら、「アメリカ人、カナダ人
オーストラリア人はこっちの船へどうぞ!」と、先に誘導された。その後で、名前を呼ばれた日本人数組が同じ船に。
そして、その人達が全員乗船し終わったら、「残りの日本人はみんなこっちだー!」(おどけ気味、全部英語)と案内され、別の船に。
船の設備や、混み具合で差があった感じはしなかったけれども、人種差別的な雰囲気をハワイで初めて感じとりました。かなり待たされたのに、お待たせしましたもなく、その対応かよ!とかなり不快に感じました。別に片方の船が全部英語だから、話せる人と話せない人で分けた、とかでもなく、どちらも日本語でガイドしてました。
・その後の対応は別に普通、そこそこフレンドリーな感じではあったし、天国の海自体は楽しかった。
・だけど、対応の悪さを考えると、ここはオススメしません。別のツアー会社があるならそちらの方がいいと思います。
・あと、ハワイの州法で、ライフジャケットが義務付けられてると前日のイルカツアーで言ってて、そのツアーでは皆しっかりつけてたけど、このツアーでは「自信ある人は無くても大丈夫!」と言ってました。安全管理平気なの?
・以上です。ベルトラさんはよく利用させてもらってるけど、斡旋先の業者ははっきりいって本当にダメです。

The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold. I thought I would be able to swim with the sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, but we could only see them from the boat. It seems we can't touch the sea turtles. But they were cute! We also saw manta rays! There were many Japanese people, and it was quite crowded during snorkeling, making it difficult to swim as other people's feet kept bumping into me. The fish were very beautiful. Since it was an early morning plan, we were in a hurry, but I think the timing was just right as staying too long would have been tiring. There were many couples and some families as well. It became a great memory!
水温が少し低くて寒かったです。ウミガメウォッチということでウミガメと一緒に泳げるかと思ったら船の上から見るだけでした。ウミガメには触れないらしいです。でも可愛かったです♪マンタにも会えました!日本人が多くシュノーケリングでは他の人の足が当たるくらい密集してて泳ぎにくかったです。魚はとてもキレイでした。早朝プランなので急ぎ足でしたがあまり長くいると疲れるのでちょうどの時間だと思いました。カップルが多く、家族連れの方もいました。良い思い出になりました!

I participated in the early morning tour. The weather was nice, and the sandbar was very beautiful, which made it enjoyable. When walking from the boat to the sandbar, I was submerged in water up to my waist. The water was cold, so it took some determination to get in, but once I got used to it, it was fine. There was a little time for snorkeling, and although it was my first time and I didn't quite know what I was doing, I managed. However, the time was short, and it might have been better just to observe.
早朝ツアーに参加しました。
天気も良くサンドバーがとてもきれいで楽しめました。
船からサンドバーまで歩く際お尻くらいまで水に浸かりました。水は冷たく入るのに気合がいりますが、慣れれば平気です。
シュノーケリングの時間も少しあり参加しましたが、はじめてで要領がよくわからなくともなんとかなりました。でも時間は短かったし見学でもよかったかも。

This was a tour I hurriedly booked at the last minute, knowing that it was something I couldn't do on my own. I wasn't sure whether to choose the morning or afternoon option, but I went with the afternoon tour, which included various activities.
After getting on the pickup bus from the hotel and arriving at the port, I saw two boats returning from the morning tour, both completely full! At that moment, I realized that this tour should be done in the morning. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day. I comforted myself by thinking that it wouldn't have made a difference if we had gone in the morning. There was only one boat for the afternoon tour.
First, we headed to the sandbar. While it was indeed shallow, the sandy beach shown in the photos was nowhere to be seen. I learned that this beach appears twice a day due to the tides, but it doesn't mean it's visible all the time. The guide mentioned it appears during a full moon, and when I asked when that was, I found out it was today! I regretted not booking the morning tour... At around 10 AM, the tide was low, and the beach was visible. By the time we arrived, it was already past noon, and unfortunately, the water was only knee-deep at its shallowest.
To lift our spirits, the crew invited us to play beach volleyball. While we played for about 40 minutes, they were grilling hamburgers on the boat, which they called a barbecue. However, this turned out to be a mistake. We should have quickly returned to the boat to grab our hamburgers. By the time we got back, there was already a long line. Since the toppings were self-serve, it took a lot of time. The boat was already moving to the next snorkeling spot.
While others were finishing their meals, it took us over 30 minutes to finally get our food. I thought there would be enough for everyone, but to my dismay, there were no toppings left (crying). When I asked the Japanese guide, "Is there really none left?" he simply replied, "No, there isn't." Looking sad, the man grilling the hamburgers gave me another patty! However, just as I finally started eating, we arrived at the next snorkeling spot.
On the way, we passed a spot where sea turtles were supposed to be, but since we were waiting for our hamburgers, we couldn't see anything...
The snorkeling time was relatively ample, and we enjoyed it. However, there were too many people... We were warned not to go anywhere else and just circle around the large coral.
At the end, there was a request for tips, but I didn't feel inclined to give anything to the Japanese guide. Instead, I gave a tip to another staff member who had been very helpful. As we were returning from snorkeling, the sun occasionally peeked through the clouds, and the weather improved, making it enjoyable.
While I would like to go on this sandbar tour again, I think I would choose a morning tour with snacks or join a different company's tour. I was quite fed up with waiting for the so-called lunch of hamburgers. There was no place to sit, so we had to eat standing up. I definitely recommend sitting outside with the captain, as there is space for bags there, but nowhere else. Also, the Japanese guests were gathered by the captain for a talk, and we had to enter and exit the boat with him.
You definitely shouldn't sit at the back of the boat. It looks like a good spot, but many people go to the captain's seat to take photos (only the Japanese were doing this...), and they use the seating area as a stepping stone, which makes everything muddy.
It's a fun tour, but I wonder if cramming everyone in without any seating is really the best approach. If that's the case, a tour without any food might have been more relaxing (the floor gets muddy with food scraps... haha).
これだけは個人で行けないことを知って出発ぎりぎりになって慌てて申し込んだツアー。
朝便と昼便どっちを選べばよいのか?とよくわからないまま、色々ついてる昼便にしました。
ホテルからのピックアップバスに乗って港へ着くと、ちょうど朝便で2隻お船が帰ってきました。
2隻満タン!やはりこのツアーは朝に行くべきなんだとそのとき悟りました。
この日はあいにく曇り。なので朝行っても同じだよね~と自分たちを慰めて出発。昼便のお船は1隻のみです。
まずはサンドバーへ。確かに遠浅ですが写真にあるような砂浜は見えません。
潮の満ち引きによって現れるといわれるこの砂浜は1日に2回あるそうなのですが、いつでも見れるというわけではないようです。
満月のとき、とガイドさんに言われ、では満月っていつなんですか~?と聞くとなんと今日!え~朝便に申し込めばよかったと後悔・・・
このときは朝10時がちょうど引き潮で砂浜が見えていたのだそうです。
私たちが行ったときは既に正午過ぎ・・残念ながらもっとも浅くてひざ下でした。
気分を盛り上げようと船員さんたちがビーチバレーに誘ってくれます。ここで40分くらい遊んでる間に船ではバーベキューと称するハンバーガーを焼いてくれます。
しかしこれが曲者。遊んでないでさっさと船にあがってハンバーガーを受け取るべきでした。
号令がかかってから船に戻ると既に長蛇の列。中に挟む具はセルフで取るのでと~~っても時間がかかるのです。すでに船は次のシュノーケルスポットに向けて移動中。
どんどん人が食べ終わっているのにありつけるまでに30分以上かかりました。
全員分は用意されてるよね、とのんびり構えていたら、なんと具がありませんでした(泣)
日本人ガイドさんに「もうないんですか?」と聞くと、「はい、ありません」とだけ。
悲しい顔をしているとハンバーガーの肉を焼いているおじさんがもう一切れくれました~♪
しかし、ようやく食べ始めたら船は次のシュノーケルスポットに到着。
この間に、ウミガメのいるスポットを通っていきます。でもハンバーガー待ちで並んでいるので全然見えず・・・・
シュノーケルはわりとたっぷり時間があって堪能できました。でも人が多すぎて・・・大きなサンゴの周りを1周するだけで他のところには行かないよう注意されます。
最後にちゃっかりチップの要求はありましたが、とてもこの日本人ガイドさんに渡す気にはなれませんでした。なので他のよくしてくれたスタッフの方にお渡ししました♪
シュノーケルの時間から帰りがけになると時折陽が差して天気が良くなり楽しめました。
もう一度このサンドバーのツアーに行きたいとは思いますが、やはり午前のスナックつきのツアーにするか、他社さんのツアーに参加すると思います。
それくらい、昼食と称するハンバーガー待ちにはうんざりでした。
座る場所もなく立ち食いなので、席は絶対に船頭の屋外をお勧めします。そこなら荷物を入れる場所がありますが、それ以外はありません。そして日本人は船頭に集められて話をされますし船から海への出入りも船頭となります。
間違っても座ってはいけないのは船尾。一見良さそうですがいろんな人が船長席に行って写真を取るので(そんなことをしているのは日本人だけでしたが・・・)座る場所を踏み台にして登るので荷物も座るところもドロドロにされちゃいます。
楽しいツアーではありますが、座る場所もないくらい詰め込むのはどうかな~と思いました。だとしたら何も食べ物がないツアーの方が気が楽だったかも(足元は食べかすなどでドロドロになるんです・・・笑)

It was an afternoon in May, but it was really cold. It was so cold that my lips turned purple. I could only do a little snorkeling because I couldn't stand the cold. A cover-up is a must.
The sea was certainly beautiful, but it wasn't breathtaking. Maybe I had too high expectations...
Lunch included a hamburger, but it was difficult to eat on the boat because of the strong wind... Snacks flew away. I was glad there wasn't a full lunch.
I did see sea turtles and manta rays, which was somewhat enjoyable, but I feel it wasn't worth the price.
5月の午後でしたが、とにかく寒い。唇が紫になるほど寒いです。寒さに耐えられずシュノーケリングは少ししかできませんでした。羽織るもの必須です。
確かに海は綺麗ですが、感激するほどではありませんでした。期待しすぎたのかなぁ…。
ハンバーガーのランチ付きでしたが、船の上は風が強くて食べにくいのなんの…スナックとか吹っ飛びました。ランチはなくてよかったと思います。
ウミガメもマンタも見れてそれなりに楽しかったのですが、値段の価値はない気がします。

If only the weather had been better, it would have been perfect. But I was able to see a waterfall that is rarely seen.

In late May, I participated in a girls' trip. The staff were cheerful, and I was able to enjoy playing beach volleyball with the other participants I met for the first time. The sandbar was very beautiful and soothing, but the sea breeze was cold!! I think it depends on the season, but it was tough to stay in wet clothes, so I think it would be good to have a place to change (there isn't a designated changing area, so I quickly changed in the restroom…).
5月下旬、女子旅で参加しました。

【Sandbar】
The weather was a bit cloudy and initially cold, but since it was my first time at the ocean after arriving in Hawaii, the sea was beautiful, and I was impressed by the pure white coral.
I did some light snorkeling.
There was plenty of time to take photos.
Those who were energetic played volleyball together.
There was a group that happened to come on a private boat, and their dog was so cute, making for a very happy time.
【BBQ】
It wasn't a BBQ, but the staff grilled hamburgers on the spot, and I had a hamburger. Eating a hamburger over the beautiful sea was exceptional.
You can enjoy plenty of drinks, snacks, and fruits, so I was very satisfied.
【Turtle Watching】
This was the best part.
I saw turtles while snorkeling, but I was allowed to enter the water without a life jacket.
You can see the turtles while floating, but by diving, I was able to get really close!
It was quite moving.
I took several shots with a waterproof camera.
For those going, definitely prepare an underwater camera!!
【サンドバー】
天気は少し雲があり、初めは寒かったですが、ハワイに着いて初の海というのもあり、海はきれいで、真っ白なサンゴには感動しました。
シュノーケリングを軽くしました。
写真を撮る時間も十分にありました。
元気の良い方はみんなでバレーボールをしていました。
たまたまプライベートボートで来ていた団体の犬が可愛すぎてとても幸せな時間でした。
【BBQ】
BBQではなかったですが、スタッフがハンバーグをその場で焼いてくれて、ハンバーガーを食べました。景色の良い海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別ですよ。
ドリンクも、お菓子も、フルーツもたくさん食べれますのでとても満足できます。
【ウミガメウォッチ】
これが一番良かったです。
シュノーケリングでカメを見るのですが、私はライフジャケットを着ずに海に入らせてもらいました。
浮いた状態でもウミガメを見ることができますが、もぐることで急接近することができました!
かなりの感動です。
水中カメラで何枚もツーショットを撮りました。
行かれる方は、是非水中カメラを用意!!

I visited the sandbar for the first time. There were plenty of activities like sea turtles, photo opportunities at the sandbar, and snorkeling. Everything was incredibly fun. I highly recommend this tour.
初めてサンドバーに行きました。ウミガメ、サンドバーでの写真撮影、シュノーケルと盛りだくさんです。どれをとっても、凄く楽しかったです。オススメのツアーです。

I was amazed to find such a beautiful place on Earth!
I went to the sandbar, and it was a fun time snorkeling and eating hamburgers at the BBQ!
I'm going to Hawaii again in October for a wedding, and I want to go with all the guests!
地球にこんなキレイなところがあるのかと驚きました!
サンドバーにいき、シュノーケルやBBQでハンバーガー食べて楽しいひとときでした!
10月に結婚式でまたハワイにいくので参列者のみなさんと行きたいです!

I participated with my mother in her 70s.
We checked the low tide times in advance, so we were able to get onto solid ground.
However, we just walked around; we didn't have a picnic.
I think it was because it was a morning tour.
During snack time, we had sandwiches with ham and cheese on bread on the boat.
The nachos were blown away by the wind, which was quite a hassle.
As for snorkeling, we just floated while wearing life jackets and without fins.
I think it might be insufficient for experienced snorkelers, but it could be just right for beginners.
My mother waited on the boat.
We were able to see sea turtles from the boat, so she was satisfied.
70代の母と参加しました。
干潮の時刻を事前に調べていったので、しっかり陸地になっているところに上がれました。
でも、歩いただけです。ピクニックとかはしてません。
午前中のツアーだったからだと思います。
スナックタイムは、パンにハムチーズを挟んだだけのサンドイッチを船上で。
ナチョスが風に飛ばされて大変でした。
シュノーケリングも、ライフジャケットを来て、フィンも付けずに浮いていただけ。
経験者には物足りないと思います。が、初心者にはちょうどいいかも知れません。
母は船で待っていました。
ウミガメも、船上からまあ見られたので、母は満足しておりました。

The sandbar gets really cold when clouds come out. Also, depending on the day, the wind can be strong, so warm clothing is a must. The kids were shivering both in the water and after getting out. I was grateful to have a warm drink.
On this day, the water level at the sandbar was knee-deep. The scenery was breathtaking. There were no fish at the sandbar, so we didn't go snorkeling.
You can play beach volleyball, but we mostly went to take photos. The endless emerald horizon is soothing and allows for an escape from reality.
We moved to another location for turtle watching. We saw many turtles from the boat! We then moved to a snorkeling spot with coral. We encountered a giant turtle that looked to be about a meter long! Although I wished to swim with the turtle, I was a bit intimidated by its size, which was larger than I imagined. The visibility at the snorkeling point was clear near the coral, but you couldn't see into the deeper areas.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent, made with freshly grilled meat.
The price is not cheap, but it's worth a visit at least once.
サンドバーは雲が出てくると
一気に寒くなります。
又、日によっては風も強いので
防寒対策必須です。
子供は水中でも上がってからもブルブル震えてましたよ(ーー;)
暖かい飲み物をいただけて助かりました。
この日サンドバーの水位はひざ位置でした。
景色は絶景。
サンドバーには魚はいないのでシュノーケルはしませんでした。
ビーチバレーをしたりもできますが、
私たちは写真を撮りにいった感じ
となりました。
どこまでも続くエメラルド色の水平線に癒され現実逃避ができます。
場所を移動しながらウミガメウォッチング。
船からも沢山のウミガメが見れました‼︎
シュノーケルは珊瑚のある場所に移動。
シュノーケルで1mはありそうな巨大なウミガメに遭遇しました‼︎
ウミガメと泳ぎたい〜なんて望んではいたものの、想像以上の大きさに少々ビビリました。
シュノーケルポイントの透明度は珊瑚が近い所まで。深いところは見えません。
お昼のハンバーガーは
その場で焼いてくれたお肉を挟んでくれるので絶品です(^_−)−☆
価格は手頃ではないが、
一度は行ってみる価値あり。

I participated with my mother in her 70s. We checked the low tide times before joining, so we were on solid ground. However, unlike photos from other tours, it was just walking. Just taking pictures. Snack time was on the boat, with sandwiches made of bread, ham, and cheese. The nachos were blown away by the wind, which was quite a hassle.
For snorkeling, we just wore life jackets and floated. No fins were used. It lasted about 15 minutes. We scattered some bread and just watched the fish come over. It felt like a brief experience, and I think it's suitable for beginners.
I think it's good for elderly people or those with small children. As for the sea turtles, you might catch a glimpse of one floating up for a moment, but you can't really observe a turtle basking in the sun closely.

シュノーケルも、ライフジャケットを着て、浮いているだけです。フィンもつけません。15分くらいかな。パンを蒔いて、寄ってくる魚を見ただけです。ちょっと体験、て感じで、初めての人向きだと思います。
高齢者とか、小さな子ども連れにはいいと思います。ウミガメは、一瞬浮いてくるのを見つける感じで、甲羅干しをしている亀をじっくり見られるわけではありません。

We were picked up a little late at 7:30 AM. It was a large bus like a sightseeing bus, fully packed with 40 people. After about an hour on the bus, we arrived at the harbor. We split into two boats for boarding, and there were restrooms on the boats.
As we progressed, we enjoyed the view of the bay, looking out at China Man's Hat and a U.S. military base. At one point, when I turned to listen to the guide, I spotted a turtle poking its head out of the water. We saw two turtles in total.
We then headed straight to the sandbar. On the day of our visit, low tide was at 7 AM, and we arrived around 9 AM, so the water level was about 15 cm, and we couldn't see the sandbar like you do in commercials. However, there were shallow areas in the water, so we had some time for photos.
After returning to the boat, we put on life jackets and snorkels for snorkeling time. We swam back and forth about 25 meters along the coral reef. It was a bit difficult to swim because there were so many people. There were plenty of fish, and I wished I could have stayed underwater a little longer.
There was no place to change, so I just put on a jacket and returned to the bus. The bus was cold, so warm clothing was necessary.
朝07時30分少し遅れてピックアップ。観光バスのような大型バス。40人満席。
1時間ほどバスにのり、ハーバー着。船2隻にわかれて乗船。船にはトイレあり。
チャイナマンズハットや米軍基地を見渡す湾をながめながら進む。
途中、ガイドさんの声のほうをみるとカメが海面から顔をだしていた。
2頭見られた。
そのままサンドバーへ。
私たちの訪れた日は、干潮時刻が7時、到着が9時頃だったため、潮位が15cmくらいあり、CMで見るような砂洲は見られず…
でも海の中に浅瀬が浮かんでいたので、写真タイム。
船に戻り救命胴衣とシュノーケルをつけ、シュノーケルタイム。
サンゴ礁に沿って皆で25mほどを往復。人数多いので、やや泳ぎにくい。
魚いっぱいいたのでもう少し潜ってたかった…
着替える場所ないので、そのまま上着羽織ってバスで帰着。
バスは寒いので、防寒必要。

We participated as a three-generation family. The sea was emerald green and truly beautiful. We saw turtles while on the boat and went snorkeling near the coral reefs, which provided us with valuable experiences that we definitely couldn't have had without joining the tour. Also, the hamburgers for lunch were incredibly delicious! I'm really glad we participated. I highly recommend it.
三世代の家族で参加しました。海はエメラルド色で本当にキレイでした。船に乗って亀を見たり、サンゴ礁の近くでのシュノーケリングをしたり、ツアーに参加しないと絶対に体験できない貴重な体験ができました。また、昼食のハンバーガーがめちゃウマでした!参加して本当に良かったです。めっちゃおすすめです。

The sandbar was very beautiful. It was fun to play beach volleyball in the ocean. I was impressed to see fish and turtles while snorkeling. There was a breeze above the sea, and it got cold after swimming, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket and a change of clothes. The freshly made hamburger for lunch was delicious.
サンドバー、とてもきれいでした。ビーチバレーが海の中でできて、楽しかったです。
シュノーケルで、魚と亀が見られて感動しました。海の上は風があり、泳いだ後は寒いので、上着、着替えを持参して行ったらいいと思います。
お昼の出来立てハンバーガー、美味しかったです。

This tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Jenner was an on board comedian who entertained us throughout the trip. The beach volleyball, practice snorkling, bbq lunch, beer, hot chocolate, wonderful staff and turtle watching was all incredible. We also got taken to a beautiful reef full of coral and coloured fish. Highly reccommended to anyone from non swimmers to couples to families with young children. Will definitely come here again.

It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I wanted to go to the sandbar, so I thought about booking an option with HIS, but it was fully booked, so I joined a tour with VELTRA. I was worried about the weather, but the sun came out halfway through, and I was able to see the most beautiful sandbar. I recommend bringing a waterproof camera and a waterproof camera case. Also, it gets cold after you go into the water, so I suggest bringing a thick hoodie or a windbreaker. The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious, and the staff were bright and friendly, so I was very satisfied. I was also able to see sea turtles and had the valuable experience of snorkeling for the first time. If the weather is good, I think anyone would be satisfied.
初めてのハワイ旅行でしたので、サンドバーに行きたくてHISのオプションを予約しようと思いましたが、予約が満席でしたのでVELTRAさんのツアーに参加しました。
天気が心配でしたが、途中から太陽がでて最高に綺麗なサンドバーを見ることができました。
防水カメラや、防水カメラケースを持参することをお勧めします。
また、海に入った後寒くなるので、厚手のパーカーや、ウインドブレーカーを持参することを
オススメします。
船内で食べたハンバーガーもおいしかったですし、スタッフの皆さんも明るくフレンドリーでしたので、大満足です。
ウミガメも見ることができ、また初めてのシュノーケリングもでき貴重な体験ができました。
天気さえよければ、どなたでも満足すると思います。

I love the ocean. I love the sandbar.
Surrounded by a 360-degree emerald green sea under the blue sky, it truly felt like paradise. This is an activity you should definitely participate in when you go to Hawaii! The half-day went by in a flash, and I didn't want to leave. I was also moved when the turtles came right up close. I want to join again!
海大好き。サンドバー大好き。
青い空に360度エメラルドグリーンの海に囲まれたそこはまさに天国。ハワイに行ったら参加すべきアクティビティーです!半日があっという間で帰りたくなかったー。亀もすぐそこまで来て感動しました。また参加したいと思います。

I went to the heavenly sea in early April. The guide's explanations were thorough, and it was a very enjoyable time. From the boat, I could see what looked like a shell, and during snorkeling, a sea turtle came close to me. If you go to Hawaii, it's definitely worth experiencing. ✨
