I was told by the travel agency to book the Heaven's Sea tour early, but I completely forgot, and the tour was fully booked. So, I used Veltra.
There were a lot of tour guests on a large bus, just like those I often see in Japan. I thought it might be hard to relax with so many people, but once we got to the sea, I was able to enjoy it all to myself.
Until we reached the port, a cheerful guide provided explanations in English. After that, we took a 10-minute boat ride to the sandbar. First, we walked in the shallow water and played beach volleyball. The guide took photos of us in various poses, which became great memories.
We moved to a spot where we could see turtles and snorkeled around some deeper coral. I was thrilled to swim alongside sea turtles, which I never expected to do. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on a BBQ set on the boat, and they were the best!
天国の海ツアー、早めに予約してくださいね、と旅行会社の方に言われていたのですが、すっかり忘れていて旅行会社でのツアーは満席。
そこで、veltraを利用しました。
日本でもよく見る大型のバス一杯のツアー客でした。
こんなにいたら、のんびりできないのでは…?なんて思いましたが、いざ海にいってみたら、充分独り占めできました。
港に着くまで、陽気なガイドさんが説明をしてくれます(英語)
そこから、船に10分ほどのって、サンドバーへ向かいました。
まずは、浅いところで、歩いたり、ビーチバレーをしました。そこで、ガイドの方に写真を撮っていただいたのですが、何通りものポーズでとっていただき、いい思い出になりました。
亀を見ながら場所を移動し、少し深い珊瑚の周りで、シュノーケルをしました。
海ガメと一緒に泳げるとは思わなかったので、感激しました。
お昼のハンバーガーも、船のうえのBBQセットで焼きたてで、最高でした!

I participated on March 2nd. The weather was clear. After a 40-minute drive from Honolulu, we switched to a boat. By the way, there were 80 participants that day! We split into two boats and first went for a sea turtle watch. We saw about three turtles. Since we were on the boat, we weren't very close. I wasn't expecting much, so it was okay, and then we moved to the sandbar. From a distance, you could see a different color area gradually getting closer! When the boat arrived, I felt a sense of awe, but when I got off... wow!!! I was standing on the water! It was amazing! I took a lot of pictures, but since there were 80 people, we spent quite a bit of time at the sandbar. It was pretty cold standing after getting wet. Then we split into snorkeling and lunch groups, and afterward, we switched. We also played a bit with floaties and kayaks before finishing. On the way back, you can buy photos taken by Captain Bruce for $10.
We arrived at the sandbar around 10 AM, and at that time, the water was about knee-deep. If you check online for the sandbar's low tide, you can find out the tide times for that day. I felt like 10 AM was about twice as deep as at low tide. The height you often see in pictures is indeed around the shin level. I've heard that sometimes you can't access the sandbar at high tide, so it's good to confirm. The day I participated, low tide was at 8 AM, so I wanted to join the early morning tour (which you need to book directly with Captain Bruce)... When I booked the tour in January, it wasn't available, but the early morning tour had somehow returned... and the period was from March 2nd, the day I participated... I regret not checking!
I highly recommend this tour. However, I think it's important to check the tide times thoroughly! Also, it was quite cold, and there were people with purple lips, so I think a waterproof hoodie or something similar is necessary.
3月2日に参加。天候は晴れ。
ホノルルから車に揺られて40分。その後船に乗り換えてます。ちなみにこの日の参加者は80人!2艇に分かれてまずはウミガメウォッチ。3匹くらい見えました。船の上からなのでそんなに近くないです。そんなに期待してなかったしまあまあの感じで、サンドバーに移動。遠くから見も色が違うとこがだんだん近づいてくる!船が着いた時はほーっと感じでしたが、降り立つと…おー!!!海の上に立っている!すげー!って感じでした。写真を撮りまくりましたが、80人もいるので結構な時間サンドバーにいました。体が濡れた後立っていると結構寒いです。そしてシュノーケリングとランチに分かれ、その後交換みたいな感じでした。その後も少し浮き輪やカヤックなどで遊んで終了です。帰りにキャプテンブルース側で撮ってくれた写真を10ドルで買えます。
10時くらいにサンドバーに着きましたが、その時にはひざ上ぐらいの深さでした。ネットでサンドバー干潮で調べるとその日の満潮干潮が分かります。10時は干潮の時の倍くらいの深さだった気がします。よく写真でみるのは確かにすねくらいの高さだな。満潮のときはサンドバーに入れないこともあると聞いたこともあるので、要確認です。
参加した日は8時が干潮でしたので、早朝ツアー(キャプテンブルースで直接申し込み必要)に参加したかった…ツアー申し込んだ時(1月)にはなかったのに、早朝ツアーがいつの間にか復活していた…しかも期間は自分が参加した3月2日から…自分の確認不足、悔やまれる!
このツアーは超おすすめです。ただしっかり満潮干潮を調べたほうがいいと思います!あと結構寒くて唇紫色している人もいたので、濡れてもいいパーカーなど必要だと思います。

A bright, cheerful, and funny Japanese guide came to greet us☆
First, we went to see the turtles♪ From the boat, we spotted many sea turtles, and miraculously, we even saw a manta ray!
It was a bit far away, but we caught a glimpse☆
Next, we headed to the sandbar! The weather wasn't great, so it was a bit chilly, but it still felt nice\(^o^)/
The guide was super enthusiastic and took lots of photos, which was really fun ( ^ω^ )
We then went snorkeling and observed the fish living around the coral♪
Back on the boat, it was sandwich time♪
The boat also had a restroom, which made it comfortable!
I checked the tide levels for the day we were going, and it turned out to be just right, so I think it's a good idea to check in advance♪
明るく元気でジョークのうまい日本語ガイドさんが迎えに来てくれました☆
最初はタートルウォッチ♪
船上からたくさんの海亀を見てると、
奇跡的にマンタが!
ちょっと遠かったですがチラ見できました☆
続いてサンドバー!
天気があまり良くなかったので寒かったですがそれでも気持ちよかった\(^o^)/
ガイドさんがめっちゃノリノリで写真撮ってくれて楽しかったです( ^ω^ )
そのままシュノーケルしてサンゴの周りに住む魚達を観察♪
船に戻ってサンドイッチタイム♪
船にはトイレもついてて快適でした!
念のために行く日の潮位を調べて行きましたが丁度良かったので、事前に調べたほうがいいと思います♪

The guide and staff were fun and cheerful, making the experience enjoyable. However, it was a bit disappointing that the sky was cloudy and the waves were high that day. The sandbar was about knee-deep. There's not much you can do about the weather, though. I purchased some beautiful photos taken with a DSLR camera. If you're looking to save money, I recommend bringing a waterproof camera.
The snorkeling was very safe, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was able to see sea turtles up close. The BBQ lunch was delicious, with a healthy flavor and content that Japanese people tend to prefer.
We participated in snorkeling, which was great, but those who didn't might have found it a bit boring. Families were feeding the turtles and taking photos, while some couples were napping on the boat. Even as a beginner swimmer, I didn't find snorkeling difficult, so I think participating would likely lead to a higher satisfaction level.
ガイドさんをはじめスタッフが楽しく陽気な人柄で楽しませてくれました。ただ、この日は終始曇り空で波が高かったのがちょっと残念でした、、、サンドバーも膝丈くらいまではあったかな。お天気ばかりは仕方がないことですね^^;一眼レフで綺麗に写真を撮っていただけたので購入しました。節約したい方は防水用カメラ持参がオススメです。
シュノーケリングも十分に安全を確保してもらい、堪能できました。ウミガメも間近で見ることができました。BBQランチは、日本人好みのヘルシーな味付けと内容でとてもおいしくいただきました。
私たちはシュノーケリングに参加したのでよかったのですが、参加しなかった方は少し退屈だったのかも。家族連れはカメに餌をあげたり写真を撮って楽しんでいましたが、カップルの中には船で眠っている方もいました。泳ぎは初心者の私でもシュノーケリングは難しく感じなかったので、できれば参加したほうが満足度が高いかなと思います。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Heavenly Ocean Tour. Although the weather wasn't perfect, I'm really glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for sharing various experiences with us. Please come back to visit again! We look forward to seeing you.

The sandbar unfortunately didn't have any sand, but I was able to enjoy myself in water that was about ankle-deep. I was able to see turtles swimming in the sea as well. Snorkeling was my first experience, and I was scared, so I could only do it for a short time, but I was able to see corals and fish. However, in the afternoon, clouds came out and it got cold, so I regretted not bringing more warm clothing. The staff were all friendly and nice people. Next time, I would like to go in spring or summer.
サンドバーは、残念ながら砂は出ていませんでしたが、足のくるぶしぐらいまでの深さで、
楽しく過ごすことができました。カメも普通に海を泳いていて見つけることができました。シュノーケリングは、初体験で怖かったので短時間しかできませんでしたが、サンゴも
魚も見ることができました。ただ午後になって雲が出てきて寒かったので、防寒着をもっと
持っていけばよかったと反省しました。スタッフはみんなフレンドリーでいい人達でした。

Usually, I enjoy a free-spirited trip in Hawaii by renting a car, but this time I found driving a bit cumbersome, so I utilized various plans. This "sandbar tour" was one of them.
We enjoyed the beautiful water and friendly staff (especially the women, who provided attentive service that left a strong impression). We also got to see sea turtles!
There is just one disappointing point. For us in our 60s, January can be a bit chilly! Even the beautiful sea was only bearable for about 15 minutes. I recommend that those visiting during this time prepare for the cold. Other than that, I highly recommend it without any complaints.
普段、ハワイ旅行ではレンタカーを借りて勝手な旅を楽しみましたが
少し運転も億劫になったので、今回はいろいろなプランを利用しました。
この 「サンドバー ツアー」 もその一つ。
綺麗な水、フレンドリーなスタッフ(特に女性が多くてきめ細かい接待
が印象的でした)で、サンドバーとスノーケリングを楽しみました。
海亀も見られましたよ!!
一つだけ、残念な点があります。
それは、60歳代の我々にとってⅠ月は少し寒い !!
せっかくの美しい海も 15分が限度でした。この時期に出向かれる方は
寒さ対策をお薦めします。
それ以外は、文句なく、お薦めです。

The participants were mostly Japanese, and the guide who took us out to sea spoke Japanese, which made the tour worry-free for us since we couldn't speak English.
We were blessed with good weather, enjoying clear skies during this season! Although we couldn't see the sandbar at low tide, the clarity of the seawater was amazing! The interactions with the guide and other participants were also very enjoyable.
From the boat, we were able to spot several sea turtles, and during my first-ever snorkeling experience, I miraculously swam right next to a sea turtle.
Since we went on our honeymoon, it became an unforgettable memory for us!
I would love to participate again next time!

I had a great time with my grandson, my eldest son and his wife.
First, we enjoyed a beach volleyball game at a sandbar with a water depth of about 20 cm. It was a multinational game, and the skill level wasn't too high. After that, we practiced snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling, but I had almost no problems. The only issue was when I tried to breathe while swimming freestyle out of habit, and water came in, making me cough. However, since we practiced in shallow water, I was fine after that.
On our way to the coral reef, we encountered several sea turtles. From the boat, they looked like clumps of seagrass floating in the water, but they were all sea turtles. Occasionally, they would come up for air, and my grandkids were thrilled.
We then arrived at our final destination, the coral reef, which was about 50 meters in diameter. We put on life jackets and fins and enjoyed snorkeling. There were plenty of colorful fish around the coral, and we had a great time exploring the reef. I heard that if you're lucky, you can swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, we couldn't this time. However, we did get to see sea turtles resting on the reef.
Those who were confident swimmers were diving around the boat, and I thought that was a fun way to enjoy it too. My 4-year-old grandson was initially scared and wouldn't swim away from the boat, but when I held his hands and swam together, he had a lot of fun. His impression was, "I saw red and white fish from the surface."
There were also foreign people on the boat, and I became quite friendly with those who enjoyed beach volleyball with us.
We made wonderful family memories.
孫と長男夫妻、妻と一緒に楽しみました。
まず、水深20CM程度のサンドバーで、多国籍のそれほどレベルの高くないビーチバレーを楽み、その後、シュノーケルの練習をしました。シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、問題はほとんどなし。問題があるとすると、クロールで泳いだ時、習慣で息継ぎをしようとしたら、水が入ってきてゲボゲボ。でも、浅いところで練習できたので、それ以降はもう大丈夫でした。
そこから、珊瑚礁に行く途中で複数のウミガメに遭遇。船の上から見ると、海草の束がいくつも浮かんでいるように見えたのですが、それらがみんなウミガメ。時々、顔を上げてのサービスもしてくれ、孫たちは大喜びでした。
そして、最終目的地の珊瑚礁に到着。そこは直径50mほどの珊瑚礁で、ライフジャケットとフィンを付けてシュノーケリング楽しみました。サンゴの周りは色とりどりの魚が一杯で、楽しみながら珊瑚礁を一廻りしました。機会に恵まれると、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐこともできるそうですが、今回は残念ながら一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでした。しかし、珊瑚礁で休んでいるウミガメにはちゃんと出会えました。
泳ぎに自信のある人は、船の周りで潜っていましたが、そんな楽しみ方も良いと思います。
4歳の孫は最初は怖くて船から泳ぎに出られなかったのですが、両手をとって一緒に泳ぐと結構はしゃいでいました。孫の感想は「水面から赤と白の魚が見えたよ」でした。
船の中では外国の人たちとも一緒で、一緒にビーチバレーを楽しんだ人とは、結構仲良くなりました。
家族の良い思い出が残りました。

Since it was close to a new moon, unfortunately, the sandbar had quite a bit of water depth, up to about my knees. I wasn't planning to snorkel, so I intended to keep my upper body dry, but the water depth at the entry point to the sandbar was about chest-high for me at 158 cm. My grandmother, who is shorter, seemed to have a bit of a hard time.
Lunch was wonderfully delicious. Also, the water in the sea was clear, and we were able to see turtles.

December is indeed cold. I think it's a good idea to research various factors like the season and tide to see landscapes like the one in the sandbar photo. The snorkeling after the sandbar was incredibly beautiful. I've been to many places in Southeast Asia, but the snorkeling spots here are really great. Luckily, I encountered a sea turtle swimming right below me twice. However, it can be really cold in December if the weather is bad. There were also some participants in the tour who didn't go into the water.
12月はやはり寒いです。

The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to go snorkeling, plus the lunch was freshly made and delicious! However, the bus ride was extremely cold, and since we left early in the morning, I just wanted to sleep... I couldn't rest on the bus because the guide kept speaking in English, and when I dozed off during the boat ride, I was woken up. The return bus was also unusually cold (even though my body was wet), and I couldn't stand it, so I got off partway. I'm not sure if I would want to participate again...
景色はよくて、シュノーケリングもできたし、昼ごはんもできたてでおいしかったです!
ただ、移動のバスがすんごく寒かったのと、朝早くに出発なのでせめて寝てたいのに。。。バスでも英語でガイドずーっとされて眠れず、ボートで移動している間うとうとしてたら起こされ、帰りのバスも(体が濡れてるのに)異常に寒くて、たえきれなくて途中下車しました。

This time, I went on my first trip to Hawaii. Before reaching the sandbar, I was able to beautifully confirm the presence of the honu (sea turtle) and saw many of them. Thanks to Yuki, one of the cruise staff, who accurately pointed out where the honu were... (laughs) Everyone was a wonderful cruise staff member. I actually had given up on snorkeling because I’m not a good swimmer, but one of the staff encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry! I couldn't do it at first either. You can do it!" That motivated me to give it a try. Because of that, I had a fantastic experience. Thank you. I'm sorry I forgot your name. Also, the captain was cool!!! He was a refreshing handsome guy. Next time I go to Hawaii, I want to participate again. Mahalo.
今回、初のハワイ旅行で行きました☆。.:*・゜サンドバーに行くまでにホヌさんも綺麗に確認出来たし、沢山見る事が出来ました(,,•﹏•,,)クルースタッフの、ゆきさんがホヌのいる場所を的確に言ってくれたおかげでもあるんですが。。。(笑)皆さん素敵なクルースタッフでした。私は、実は金づちでシュノーケリングは、諦めてたんですがスタッフさんの1人がおねーさん大丈夫だよー。私も最初出来なかった。出来るよー!って励ましてくれたのでやってみる気になれました。そのおかげで、素晴らしい体験が出来ました。ありがとう。お名前を忘れてごめんなさい。そして、キャプテンもカッコ良かったです!!!さわやかイケメンさんでした(,,•﹏•,,)次回ハワイへ行った時は、参加したいです。マハロ

It was a tour that was kind to children and created lasting memories. It was cold, so we couldn't go into the sea, but we were able to see sea turtles, and the kids enjoyed the atmosphere and the snacks we received. I just wish the weather had been better... but there's nothing we can do about that.
子供にも優しく、思い出になるツアーでした。寒くて海にも入れなかったけどウミガメも見れたし、子供達は雰囲気といただいたスナックを楽しんでいました。
ただ本当にお天気さえよかったらな…と仕方のないことですが。

It was my daughter's debut in Hawaii. It was a trip just for my daughter and me.
As we were traveling with a toddler, I was very worried about how much we could enjoy it and whether the experience would be worth the price. We were picked up at our hotel in a microbus. We went in light clothing, wearing swimsuits and flip-flops, and brought about $20 in cash and coins. We boarded a small boat at the port.
The Japanese staff, the captain, and the female crew members were all very friendly and attentive to us, especially considering I had a child with me. They talked to my daughter a lot, which I really appreciated.
Right after boarding, we were served drinks, cookies, and bread that had a very American taste (laughs). Soon after we set off, we arrived at a spot to see sea turtles. We were able to see two sea turtles swimming, which was thrilling. I enjoyed the sense of unity on the boat while we were searching for the turtles.
It was the rainy season, and there were storm-like winds, so it wasn't exactly a shining sandbar, but by the time we arrived at the spot, the skies cleared a bit, which was a relief. I think it's a good idea to prepare a waterproof camera or a smartphone in a waterproof case if you want to ask the staff to take photos. I opted for a service where they took pictures with a $60 camera, and I was satisfied with the natural, Hawaii-like photos they captured.
The warm drink service on the boat was nice for our chilled bodies from the sea, as well as the light snack service. Since the meal is really just a light snack, I think it's better not to have high expectations. If you don't expect much, you can be satisfied. We had plenty and ended up feeling full.
My daughter couldn't snorkel, so she stayed on the boat, but she had a great time with other families who weren't snorkeling and the crew, and the waiting time passed quickly. During the wait, we enjoyed throwing food to the fish from the boat and watching them gather. My daughter even said "please!" to the crew as she threw food into the sea, which made her happy.
Although the sandbar itself was somewhat disappointing due to the cold and cloudy weather, the rest of the time was very enjoyable, and it seems to have created wonderful memories for my daughter. She says she wants to ride on the turtle boat in Hawaii again.
I definitely want to book this again when we go in the summer!
娘のハワイデビューでした。娘と母の2人旅です。
幼児のため、どのくらい楽しめるのか、内容は価格相応であるかなどとても心配でした。お迎えは滞在先のホテルに、マイクロバスで。水着にビーサン、タオルと20ドル程度の紙幣と小銭といった軽装で行きました。港で小型の船に乗り込みました。
日本人スタッフさんもキャプテンも、クルーの女性も感じがよく、子連れの私に気を配ってくださったり、娘にたくさん話しかけてくださったりと、とてもありがたい気持ちでした。
乗ってすぐのドリンクやクッキー、パンのサービスはとてもアメリカンな味でした(笑)乗船後すぐ、ウミガメのスポットへ。二匹のウミガメが泳ぐ姿を見ることができ、感激しました。ウミガメを探している時の船の一体感が楽しかったです。
当日は雨季、嵐のような風で、輝くようなサンドバーとは言えませんでしたが、スポットへ着く頃には晴れ間も見えホッとしました。スタッフに写真を頼むには、必ず防水のカメラ、もしくは防水ケースに入れたカメラやスマホ出なくてはいけないので準備していくと良いと思います。私は60ドルの一眼で撮影していただけるサービスを申し込みました。自然な感じでハワイらしい写真を撮っていただけて満足しています。
海で冷えた体に船上の温かいドリンクのサービスや、軽食のサービスは嬉しかったです。食事は本当に軽食ですので期待しないほうが良いと思います。期待しなければ満足できます。たくさんいただいたので満腹になりました。
娘はシュノーケルはできないので船上でお留守番をしていたのですが、シュノーケルをしない他のご家族やクルーのみなさんと過ごす時間が楽しく、留守番の時間もあっという間に過ぎて行きました。待ち時間には船上から魚に餌を投げ、魚が集まる様子を楽しみました。娘も「please!」なんてクルーに話しかけて海に餌を投げて喜んでいました。
寒くて曇っていてサンドバー自体の満足度はそこそこなのですが、それ以外の時間が非常に楽しくて、なによりも娘にとって良い思い出となったようです。またハワイでカメのお船にのりたいと言っています。
また夏に行く時には絶対申し込みたいです!
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
Thank you for choosing this tour for your daughter's debut in Hawaii.
I'm really glad to hear that you liked the turtle boat.
Please do come back to visit us again in the summer! We will be waiting for that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
お嬢様のハワイデビューにこのツアーを選んで頂いてありがとうございました。
カメのお船を気に入って頂いたようで本当に良かったです。
ぜひ!夏もまた遊びにいらしてくださいね。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!

I had planned to walk on the sand, but due to the tide, the sand was underwater during the time I participated, so I couldn't walk on it. However, the scenery was incredibly beautiful, and I got to see many sea turtles, making it a fun tour.
砂の上を歩くつもりで準備していたのですが、潮の満ち引きの加減で、参加した時間帯は砂は海の中にあり、歩くことはできませんでした。しかし、景色はすごくきれいだったし、たくさんのウミガメにも会えたし、楽しいツアーでした。

This tour was just unbelievable! We had so much fun playing beach volleyball on the sandbar, watching turtles, and best of all the snorkeling. Great snorkeling spot to see lots of fishes and beautiful corals. My niece got to see three turtles up close! The crews were really fun to hang out with.

Aloha! Thank you for joining Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea the other day. The sandbar shows various expressions as it is an optional tour in nature. As recommended by Shunpoi, please refer to the tide prediction chart. However, please note that this is just a prediction as it is influenced by various natural conditions. Also, the atmosphere of the sandbar changes depending on the weather that day, so it will be a surprise to see what kind of sandbar you encounter at that time! When you come to Hawaii next time, please come back to experience the sandbar's different expressions. Mahalo!
アロハ!先日はキャプテンブルース天国の海にご参加ありがとうございます。
自然の中でのオプショナルツアーのためサンドバーは様々な表情を見せてくれます。
shunpoi様もお勧め頂いていますように潮の予測表をぜひ参考されてくださいね。
但し様々な自然条件に影響される為にあくまでもこれは予測となります。
またその日のお天気によってもサンドバーの雰囲気は違って来ますので、どんな表情のサンドバーに出会えるかはその日その時間迄の楽しみとなるんですよ〜。
次回ハワイにお越しの際も、また違った表情のサンドバーに出会いにぜひまた遊びに来てくださいね。Mahalo!
