The weather was somewhat okay with strong winds, cold temperatures, and a mix of sunshine and clouds, but since I checked the low tide times and participated, a wide sandy beach appeared on the sandbar, and it was incredibly beautiful.
A beach emerged in the middle of the sea, surrounded by very clear water, and I was moved by the scenery I had never seen before.
The snorkeling was cold, but I was able to borrow a wetsuit, so I could swim without feeling too cold. I was excited to see many larger fish than I expected.
They provide life jackets, so even if you can't swim, you can still snorkel. My 8-year-old and 5-year-old children participated as well, but when it came to snorkeling, they started to get scared of swimming in water where they couldn't touch the bottom, and I thought they would have to give up. However, the staff kindly prepared a small inflatable boat, allowing the children to clearly see the fish in the water from the boat.
I am very grateful for their kindness. We were able to see about 15 sea turtles, right in front of us. Those who entered the water early were able to swim together with them.
It might be a bit cold at this time of year, but I was able to see the best scenery that you can't see in Japan and had a wonderful time swimming with the fish.
風が強くて寒くて晴れたり曇ったりで、天候はまぁまぁでしたが干潮の時間を調べて参加したためサンドバーの砂浜が広範囲に現れ、最高にきれいでした。
海の真ん中に砂浜が現れ、まわりはとてもきれいな海で見たことのない景色に感動しました
シュノーケルは、寒かったのですがウエットスーツを貸してもらえたので泳ぐときは寒い思いをせずやることができました。
思っていたより大きな魚が沢山見れ興奮しました。
ライフジャケットを貸していただけるので、泳げなくてシュノーケルできます。
8歳と5歳の子供も参加しましたが、シュノーケルになると足の届かない海で泳ぐことを怖がり始め、断念せざるおえないと思っていましたが、スタッフの方が小さいビニールボートを用意してくださって、子供もボートの上から海の中の魚をはっきり見ることができました。
とても親切にしてくださり感謝しています。
海亀も15匹くらい見ることができました。
それも目の前で。
早く海に入った人は、一緒に泳ぐこともできました
今の時期、少し寒いかもしれませんが、日本では見れない最高の景色を見れ、魚と泳ぐことができ楽しい思いをすることができました。

This is the second time we took Capt Bob's cruise, and it was as much fun as the first. The staff is always lots of fun and playful and really care about the customers. They always make sure you have a good time and there is lots to see and do. If you don't want to snorkel, you are welcome to sun bathe on the catamaran, no one forces you to do anything.
The staff answers all questions and it's a very fun afternoon adventure.

I was originally scheduled to participate on February 27, but due to a tsunami warning from the earthquake in Chile, I had to cancel... I ended up being stuck in the hotel during such nice weather, but when I called Alan and the tour company, they were very accommodating and I was able to reschedule for March 1. Thank you very much!
The sea in heaven is truly blue! Emerald! It was so beautiful! However, the wind was really strong, and the captain seemed to be in a good mood, saying, "The wind is strong!" (laughs). Even though I was shivering, I enjoyed the heavenly sea in the area where the tide had receded. The white sand was probably affected by the wind, as there wasn't much, but I will never forget the excitement of standing in the blue sea.
For snorkeling, since the wind was strong and the current was fast, I couldn't swim, so I just watched from the boat, but that alone was satisfying. Next time, I will practice swimming! I was able to see turtles about ten times from the boat. The food was delicious, and the crew was entertaining, so I was very satisfied!
I hope to go again on a really sunny day! Thank you!
本当は2月27日に参加予定だったのですが、チリの大地震による津波警報が出てキャンセルに…
すごくいい天気の中ホテルに監禁状態になってしまい、Alan1さんや、催行会社に電話をしたら、とても良い対応をしてくれて、3月1日に日を変えて参加することが出来ました^^ありがとうございました!

ただ風がすごく強くてキャプテンも「カゼツヨイネー!」とご機嫌?でした笑。震えながらも潮が引いた場所で天国の海を満喫しました^^白い砂は、風の影響かな?あんまりなかったですが、青い海の中に立てた瞬間の感動は忘れられません。
シュノーケリングは風も強く潮の流れが早いということで、泳げない私は船から見ていましたが、それだけでも満足できました^^次は泳ぎの練習をしていくぞ!!船の上からも亀さんを10回ぐらい見ることができました^^ご飯もおいしかったし、クルーの皆さんもおもしろかったし、満足です!

We went as a family of eight. It was really cold on the day of our visit, and most people rented wetsuits. I was looking forward to snorkeling, but unfortunately, the weather made the waves too strong, which was difficult for beginners, so I couldn't do it. Later, when I asked another tour guide, they told me that the sandbar isn't a place for snorkeling. When I did it in Guam before, there were no waves and no coral, so I could just float around, but it seemed like you had to swim here, which was disappointing.
However, my 81-year-old grandmother had never been in the ocean until this year, and she enjoyed her first experience while wearing a wetsuit. The sandbar had quite a low tide, so all eight of us held hands and jumped together, making it a really fun family trip.
家族8人で行きました。
当日はとっても寒くて、ほとんどの人がウエットスーツを借りてました。私はシュノーケリングを楽しみにしてたのですが、あいにくの天候で波の流れが早く初心者には難しくて出来ませんでした。あとでほかのツアーのガイドさんに聞いたら、サンドバーではシュノーケリングやるところじゃないよ~って言われました。前にグアムでやったときは全然波のないサンゴなどもないところで囲いをつけてやったので、ぷかぷか浮いてるだけだったので私でも出来ましたが、ここでは泳げないとダメみたいで残念でした。
でも、81歳のおばあちゃんはこの年まで海に入ったことがなかったそうで、ウエットスーツ着ながら初体験を楽しんでいました。
サンドバーは潮がけっこう引いてたので、8人全員で手をつないでジャンプしてとっても楽しい家族旅行になりました。

On our first trip to Hawaii, we found a plan that allowed us to enjoy the beautiful ocean, snorkeling, and sea turtles. On the day we participated, there was a Japanese guide who was very friendly. The crew was also cheerful, making for an exciting sailing experience.
The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, even more so than in photos, and playing volleyball there was the best. Although we didn't speak any English, it was true that "expressions speak louder than words."
There seem to be mixed opinions about the lunch, but the freshly grilled patties in burgers on the boat were fantastic for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was still very appealing, even though it was a bit cold.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this activity in terms of price, staff, and content. We were even generous with the tips (laughs). Thank you very much!

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first experience at a sandbar. Even though it's offshore, the sand made from crushed coral allows you to stand. It's surprising that not only can you stand, but it feels like just the tips of your feet are in the water. Standing in the middle of the ocean is astonishing. I think you may have seen it in TV commercials. Experiencing it in person was incredibly moving. I had fun playing beach volleyball with foreign staff and guests near the sandbar. Since I was the only Japanese participant, I hope more shy Japanese people will join in. We spent 45 minutes on the sandbar. While moving by boat to the snorkeling spot, I saw many green sea turtles coming up to the surface to breathe. It's reassuring that the staff swims with you during snorkeling. A lot of fish came to the bait, making for a fun time. It seems that even first-time snorkelers can enjoy it.
ハワイは何十回も行っていますが、サンドバーへ行ったのは初めての体験でした。サンゴが波で砕けてできた砂が積って居るのは沖合なのに足が立ちます。足が立つどころか足の先だけが海中にある感じで驚きます。海のど真ん中に立っているのは驚きです。テレビのCMとかで見たことあると思います。実際に体験するとそれはスゴイ感動モノでした。サンドバーのそばで外国人スタッフの人と海外からのお客さんと一緒にビーチバレーをして楽しみました。日本人はわたし一人だけの参加だったので、引っ込み思案な日本の人たちも参加してほしいなあと思いました。サンドバーでは45分間上陸していました。シュノーケルする場所へ船で移動してるときは、ミドリウミガメが水面にいっぱい顔を出して息継ぎしている姿がドンドン見れました。シュノーケルの時にはスタッフも一緒に泳いでいるので安心です。餌に魚がイッパイ寄ってきて楽しい時間でした。シュノーケル初体験者も楽しめるようですよ。

I participated in the sandbar for the first time. It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the Waikiki hotel to the Kaneohe pier. After getting off the bus, I transferred to a boat to go. The foreign male staff on the bus shared interesting stories, so I wasn't bored. While on the boat to the sandbar, the staff sang songs for us. There were many foreign participants, but there were also Japanese female staff who provided explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. When we boarded the boat and saw Chinaman's Hat, we arrived at the sandbar. This time, the water depth was about 20 centimeters. It was fun to play volleyball in the middle of the ocean. For those who were snorkeling for the first time, they allowed practice there. After that, we returned to the boat for lunch. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious. Drinks were also free and unlimited. After that, we moved by boat to another snorkeling spot. During the transfer, we were able to see many turtles, which was enjoyable. When snorkeling, feeding the fish attracted a lot of them, and I was able to swim happily over the coral.
サンドバーに初めて参加しました。
ワイキキホテルからバスでカネオヘの桟橋まで30分ぐらいで到着します。バスを降りて桟橋から船に乗り換えて行きました。バスの中でも外国人男性のスタッフが面白い話をしてくれて退屈しません。船でサンドバーに行く間もスタッフが歌を歌ってくれます。外国人の参加が多いですが日本人女性のスタッフもいますから日本語説明してくれますので安心です。船に乗ってチャイナマンズハットが見えてくるとサンドバーに到着しました。今回は20センチくらいの水深でした。
海の真ん中でバレーボールをしたりと手も楽しいです。

It's not like the shallow waters in Japan; in the morning, due to the tides, the sand doesn't show, so you definitely have to walk in the areas where the tide has gone out.
I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the BBQ was delicious—I'll definitely go again!

I researched the data and it was perfectly low tide, so I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour. The staff created a fun atmosphere, and I ended up having a great time. The BBQ lunch was unexpectedly delicious, and I even encountered sea turtles while snorkeling.
At Sandwalk, we had plenty of time, and the staff took photos of all the participants and uploaded them to the website, so I was able to see them right after returning home, which helped me recall the enjoyable time we had. It not only reminded me of our experience but also of the other participants, making it even more memorable.
If I could wish for something, I would like the snorkeling time to be longer. While I understand the importance of the explanations, I felt they were a bit lengthy. They are necessary for beginners, but not for those who are more experienced. Perhaps grouping participants according to their skill levels would be a good idea.
Also, one of the photos taken is sold, but I was disappointed because I thought it would be a larger size, not the standard size. Honestly, $10 is quite expensive for that, especially since the backing is very plain.
Overall, I really enjoyed the content and felt it was worth participating in.

欲を言えば、シュノーケルの時間をもっと長く取れると良いなと思います。大切だとは思いますが、説明時間が長いと思いました。初心者には必要ですが、慣れている方には不要ですから。
力量に合わせてグループ分けしてはどうでしょうか。
また、撮ってくれた写真1枚は販売されますが、普通サイズではなく一回り大きなサイズだと思っていたのでがっかりしました。
あれで$10は正直高いです。台紙も全く色気なしですから。

I circled around Oahu, and the sandbar was the most beautiful and left the biggest impression on me. There were about 20 participants, and among them, there were 7 Japanese, including us, and there was also a Japanese staff member, which made me feel very secure.
Standing in the shallow waters in the middle of the ocean was a surreal sight, and enjoying beer and BBQ while looking at the scenery of the sea transitioning from transparent to a light turquoise blue was pure happiness. We also played beach volleyball with a net set up, and I was able to have fun interacting with foreign participants despite the language barrier.
Photos taken from any angle and of any person turned out beautifully. Moreover, it wasn't just that; we also had opportunities for sea turtle watching and snorkeling, making it an absolutely perfect tour. I highly recommend it!

Hawaii is not just Oahu. Indeed, the Big Island is different. The sheer size and wonder of its natural beauty left me in awe. Seeing the flow of lava with my own eyes overwhelmed me with the differences compared to Japanese volcanoes. This is a sight that you can only understand by seeing it; the scale is indescribable. The schedule of leaving at 5 AM and returning at 8 PM was certainly tough. However, upon arriving at Kona Airport and making my way back from Hilo Airport, I truly felt the vastness and simplicity of the Big Island, and I sensed that I would choose to stay on the Big Island for my next trip. It was disappointing that the lava flow had stopped, but I look forward to the next time.

I participated at the end of January.
The time spent on the boat was shorter than I expected, and although I took motion sickness medication just in case, I didn't really need it.
The sandbar was shallow, about 10 centimeters below my knees. Surrounded by the ocean in all directions, the view was absolutely stunning and I was moved!
There were about five groups of Japanese people, but more than half were foreigners. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese and were very kind, reaching out to us. I don't understand English, but the foreign staff's vibe was really fun and enjoyable.
I was excited to see sea turtles swimming and took photos of them.
After that, we moved to the snorkeling spot, but I felt the water temperature was low, so I enjoyed sunbathing on the boat while watching. That was also pleasant and enjoyable.
I think anyone who hasn't experienced a sandbar before would have a great time!
If I go again, I would like to visit in the summer and try snorkeling again.

Since my mother is over 60, I was a bit worried about whether she would enjoy it among the younger participants, but thanks to the fun guidance from the staff and the stunning beauty of the ocean, those worries disappeared. We had a great time. My mother, who can't swim, stayed on the boat during the snorkeling time, but she was able to enjoy the beautiful sea without getting seasick. I was truly glad that we didn't switch to a cheaper company after hearing that Captain Bruce's boat is the only one that can land on the sandbar. Thank you very much!

We participated as a family of four, consisting of a senior couple and two daughters. The activity included transportation, and when we got off the bus that picked us up at the meeting point, we were greeted by a captain with a stern face. However, his eloquence drew us in and made us laugh, making the approximately 45-minute ride to the dock feel short.
Upon arriving at the sandbar on our private boat, I was amazed to discover such a place in the middle of the spacious Kaneohe Bay… it felt like a miracle of nature. With waves breaking on the distant reef and the green mountains and islands surrounding the bay, there’s no other place where you can relax like this.
Previously, I always went to Hanauma Bay for its coral sea, but the coral I saw while snorkeling here was all alive. The variety of colorful fish and coral is incredible, and I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera. We also saw many HONU (turtles), so there’s no doubt you’ll have a great time.
Unfortunately, when we participated, it was during a full moon, and the water depth was about 10-15 cm. If you want to fully enjoy the white sandbar, it seems best to check the tide and go around the middle of the new moon and full moon. I also appreciated the captain's singing (he was referred to as the general)… it was a delightful experience.

As soon as we set off by boat, the view of the Ko'olau mountain range from the sea is truly majestic, just as it has been featured in movies and dramas. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and exceeded my expectations. There were areas shallow enough to reach my ankles. Sitting there felt a bit like being in a hot spring... There was also a Japanese guide, so even if you don't understand English, you can feel at ease, and I was very satisfied. At the sandbar, we could play volleyball and practice snorkeling for about an hour, and just relax. You can also enjoy drinks (for a fee). The hamburger for lunch was delicious. During this season, it can get a bit chilly when it's cloudy, so we Japanese wore long-sleeved parkas and covered ourselves with beach towels. We were able to warm up with hot drinks. I felt a bit disappointed that the snorkeling might have been clearer if the sun had been out. However, as a beginner, I felt safe jumping in because there were life jackets available. They throw food into the water while you're swimming, so you can see plenty of fish. I was able to see a turtle floating on the surface of the water from the boat. It was so cute. Thank you for a very enjoyable and healing experience.
ボートで出発してすぐに海からみるコオラウ山脈は映画やドラマの舞台となっているだけあって、荘厳な姿が目に焼き付きます。サンドバーはとてもきれいで想像以上でした。足首くらい浅いところもありました。座っていると若干温泉気分に。。。日本人のガイドさんもいて英語がわからなくても安心、大満足です。サンドバーでは小一時間くらいバレーボールやシュノーケルの練習、ゆっくりすることができます。お酒も(有料ですが)楽しめます。ランチのハンバーガーもおいしかったです。この季節は曇ると少し寒いので日本人の私たちは長袖のパーカやビーチタオルをかぶっていました。暖かい飲み物が頂けたので暖まりました。シュノーケルも日がでていたらもう少しきれいだったのかなと少し残念です。ただ初心者の私でもライフジャケットがあったので安心して飛び込むことができました。泳いでいるところに餌をなげてくれるので、たくさん魚もみられます。亀は船から海面に浮いているところをみることができました。可愛かったです。とても楽しく癒される体験をありがとうございました。

It was difficult to expect to see a sandbar like the ones in guidebooks, so I tried to keep my expectations low when participating.
However, perhaps due to the good conditions on the day, a very long sandbar formed, and it felt like I could walk out into the middle of the ocean, which was an impressive sight.
Additionally, there was a Japanese guide, which made me feel very comfortable participating in the tour.
The stay on the sandbar was about an hour, but I think everyone could fully enjoy their time taking photos, playing beach volleyball, lying down and gazing at the sky, and snorkeling.
At that time, the Japanese guide also came down from the boat and took many photos for us, which I really appreciated.
Afterward, we ate hamburgers that were grilled on the boat and did some sea turtle watching from the boat. Since we were watching from the boat, we could only see the turtles' heads popping up, which was a bit disappointing for me as I wanted to swim with them.
But luckily, five manta rays came close to the boat, and we were able to see them.
Finally, we went snorkeling around a coral reef that was about the size of a football field.
I have a scuba diving license and have seen coral reefs several times, but this was the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It spread out like a flower garden just a few dozen centimeters below the surface.
I also went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before, but the coral there seemed mostly dead, and I could hardly see any coral, just black rocks, although I did spot some fish that were larger than those in the true reef. Here, the coral was truly wonderful, and there were many fish, but there weren't many large ones. It probably depends on personal preference; I definitely preferred this one.
After snorkeling, there was no place to change until we returned to the hotel, so we took the bus back in our swimsuits. I think women who are sensitive to the cold should definitely bring something like a hoodie for warmth. Alternatively, I thought it would be best to change on the boat using a towel that forms a circle. It was really cold.
Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii.
なかなか、ガイドブックで見るようなサンドバーが出ている状態で見るのは難しいのではないかとあまり期待をしないように自分を抑えて参加をしました。
しかし、実際は当日のコンディションもよかったせいか、とても長いサンドバーができて、どこまでも海の真ん中を歩いていけそうな感じで、感動的な光景を見ることができました。
あと、ちゃんと日本人のガイドさんも1人いらっしゃったので、とても安心してツアーに参加できました。
サンドバーの滞在時間は1時間ほどでが、写真を撮ったり、ビーチバレーをしたり、寝転んで空を眺めたり、シュノーケリングをしたりとそれぞれの時間を十分満喫できると思います。
このとき。日本人ガイドさんも船から下りてきてくれて写真を沢山とってくれました。とても有難かったです。
その後、船で焼いてくれたハンバーガーを食べて、船の上から海亀ウォッチングをしました。船の上からのウォッチングだったので、ちょこんと出す頭を見れるだけなので亀と一緒に泳ぎたかった私的にはちょっと残念でした。
でも運よくマンタが5匹が船のすぐそばまで寄ってきて見ることができました。
最後に、フットボールコート1面くらいある珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケリングをしました。
私は、スキューバーダイビングのライセンスがあるので、何度が珊瑚礁を見たことありますが、私が今まで見た中で一番美しかったです。水面から数十センチのところにお花畑のように一面に広がっていました。
ハナウマ湾でも前日シュノーケリングをしたのですが、そちらの珊瑚礁はほとんど死んでいるのかあまり珊瑚がみれず、黒い岩ばかりでしたが、真タイより大きいような魚がポツポツ見れました。こちらは珊瑚礁がホントに素晴らしく魚も沢山いますが、大型の魚はあまりいませんでした。どちらが良いかは好みですかね。私は、断然こちらの方が好きです。
シュノーケリング後はホテルに帰るまで着替えの場所はないので、水着のままバスに乗りホテルまで帰ります。寒さに弱い女性の方は、パーカーとか寒さ対策できるもの必ず持っていった方が良いと思います。
又は、輪になっているタオルのようなもので船の上で着替がえるのが1番良いと思いました。ホント寒かったです。
全体的に大満足なツアーでした。
またハワイに行った時はぜひ参加したいです。

I visited Sandbar for the first time, and the sandy beach in the ocean was a mysterious and beautiful sight! Additionally, I got to see sea turtles up close and went snorkeling near the coral to see various fish. It was a packed tour, and I would love to participate again!
初めてサンドバーに行きましたが、海の中にある砂浜のは不思議&きれいな景色でした!また、ウミガメを間近で見たり、サンゴのそばでさまざまな魚を見るシュノーケリングをしたりと盛りだくさんなツアーで、また参加したいと思いました!

I imagined a pristine white sandbar when I joined, but the timing of low tide and the tour didn't match, so it felt more like a shallow sea. It might be better to check the timing of the tour and low tide before participating. I would like to join again for a revenge trip. The BBQ for lunch was very delicious!
真っ白な砂浜サンドバーをイメージして参加しましたが、干潮の時間とツアーの時間合わず、浅瀬の海という感じでした。
ツアーの時間と干潮の時間が合う時期を調べて、参加されたほうが良いかもしれませんね。
リベンジでまた参加したいと思います。
お昼のBBQは、とてもおいしかったですよ!

I had seen the ocean in Hawaii a few times, but I was truly moved to discover such a calm and beautiful place. When I got on the bus, most of the people around me were foreigners, and the explanations from the captain were all in English, which left me feeling confused, thinking, "What should I do? I can't understand!" However, there were Japanese staff members present, and they made sure that Japanese guests were seated together and provided explanations, which made me feel at ease.
The weather was a bit bad and cold, but I was able to play beach volleyball and had a great time. The hamburger for lunch was even more delicious than I expected, and the fact that they grilled the meat on the boat like a BBQ made it even tastier.
At the turtle spot, I was able to see turtles coming up for air and swimming around. There was plenty of time for snorkeling, and I could take photos with an underwater camera, which created wonderful memories.
I think I had a fun time thanks to the cheerful and kind staff, as well as the diverse group of guests from various countries participating together.
ハワイの海は何度か見ていましたが、こんなに穏やかで綺麗な場所があるなんて本当に感動しました。
バスに乗った時はまわりがほぼ外国の方でキャプテンらしき人の説明もすべて英語で『どうしよ~理解できない!』と戸惑ったけれど、きちんと日本人スタッフの方がいて船も日本人はかためて乗せて、説明もしてもらえたので安心しました。
ちょっとお天気が悪く寒かったけど、ビーチバレーもできて思いっきり楽しめました。
ランチのハンバーガーは期待以上に美味しくて、お肉を船の上でBBQなみに焼いてくれてたのが美味しさ倍増でした。
ウミガメスポットでは息継ぎにあがってくるカメや泳いでるかめを見ることができました。
シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって、水中カメラで撮影する事も出来たのですごくいい思い出です。
スタッフが明るくて親切だったのと、いろんな国のお客さんが一緒に参加していた事で楽しい時間を過ごせたと思います。

I had heard from a friend who participated in October that it was cold and their lips turned purple, so I brought long sleeves along with a towel.
On the day of the event, there were a few clouds, but the weather was good with sunshine, and it was quite warm when the sun was out, so the water temperature didn't seem too low. However, during lunch, everyone was shivering while eating.
On the way to the sandbar, we saw several sea turtles. At the sandbar, we took commemorative photos and those who wanted to snorkel did so, but it was difficult for my 5-year-old to snorkel, so I thought one of us parents would stay on the boat with them. Just then, they brought a float with windows, and the captain helped the child onto the float and led the way, allowing the child to see fish through the float's window, which made them very happy.
As for the BBQ, I thought we would be grilling ourselves, but the food was already cooked and laid out, so it felt more like a buffet. The kalbi meat was very delicious. I was also happy to enjoy freshly made Leonard's malasadas. They let us take home any leftover food, which I thought was very good service.
My child was very excited and it was quite a handful, but the staff and other participants were all kind and interacted with the kids, so my child seemed to have a lot of fun and said they wanted to go again.
I chose the afternoon session for the BBQ, but even with a 12 PM pickup, we couldn't make good use of the morning, so I would like to participate in the morning session next time.
10月に参加した友人から、寒くて唇が紫になったと聞いていたので、タオルの他に長袖も持参して参加しました。
当日は若干雲が出ましたが、天気が良く日差しもあり、日の出ている時は暑いくらいだったので、水温もそんなに低くなかったようです。
とはいえ、ランチの時には皆ふるえながら食べていました。
サンドバーに向かう途中、ウミガメも数匹見られました。
サンドバーでは記念撮影をしてから希望者のみシュノーケルをしましたが、5歳児にシュノーケルは難しかったので、諦めて父母どちらかが一緒に船上で待っていようかな?と思っていたら、窓のついたフロートを持ってきてくださり、キャプテンが子供を乗せてフロートを引きながら先導してくれたので、子供もフロートの窓から魚を見ることができ、大喜びしていました。
BBQはその名の通り自分達で焼くのかな?と思っていたら、もう調理済みで並んでいたので、バフェって感じでしたが、カルビ肉はとても美味しかったです。
また、揚げたてのレナーズのマラサダもいただけて嬉しかったです。
残った料理等は適当に分けて持ち帰らせてくれたし、とても良いサービスだと思いました。
子供が大はしゃぎで大変でしたが、スタッフも他の参加者の方も皆親切で、子供を相手してくれたので、子供はとても楽しかったようで、また行きたいと言っていました。
BBQ目当てで午後の部にしましたが、12時ピックアップでも午前は有効に使えなかったので、次回は午前の部に参加してみたいと思いました。

To be honest, I was filled with anxiety about participating with my family. My child is 5 years old and can't swim, and my wife has been to Hawaii 10 times but has never been here, so I was wondering what it would be like. However, when we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. I had done some research beforehand and learned that the tide would be lower in the afternoon, so I apologize for changing our time from morning to afternoon, but I think it was a good decision. In the shallow areas, there was hardly 10 inches of water. It truly is a heavenly sea. There is no deception. You can immerse yourself in the happiness of experiencing nature's mysteries. I believe that during a full moon, the tide completely recedes. With global warming being a concern, I’m really glad I participated to show my child this beauty. I deeply reflect on how there can be such beautiful places on Earth. World leaders should experience this. Thank you very much. I was thrilled to learn that without this tour, we wouldn't be able to get the boat this close. My child was overjoyed and thoroughly enjoyed the heavenly sea. If possible, I sincerely hope that global warming stops and that my daughter can have the same experience again when she turns 20. Thank you very much to everyone on the tour.
正直言いまして、ファミリーでの参加に不安いっぱいでした。子供は5歳で泳げないし、妻は10回ハワイに来たけど来たことがないと言うし、どんなとこだろうと思ってましたが
、来てみたらあっと驚きました。事前に調べさせていただいて、潮の干渉時間で午後の方が引いていると分かって申し訳ないのですが、午前から午後に変更させていただいて、よかったと思いますが、浅いとこで10?もありませんでした。まさに天国の海です。偽りはありません。自然の神秘と体験できる幸せに浸れます。満月時とかだと完全に潮が引くと思います。地球温暖化が騒がれて、子供に見せたくて参加して本当に良かったです。地球にこんなに美しいところがあるのかとしみじみ思います。各国首脳は体験するべきです。ほんとうにありがとうございました。ここのツアーじゃないとこんなに近くまで船を着けられないと伺って幸せが倍増しました。子供は大喜びで天国の海を満喫しておりました。できれば地球温暖化がストップして娘が20歳になって再び同じ体験ができることを節に願います。ツアーの皆さまほんとうにありがとうございました。

Loved the sand bar, and the Captain was kind of eccentric. Took us to turtle reef, then snorkeling. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend this adventure.

I was amazed by the white world as far as the eye could see. Hawaii is famous for surfing, so I was impressed to find such a tranquil sea. The scenery was so fantastical that I felt like I was in a commercial. The hamburger patty for lunch was grilled by the staff on the boat!!! It was not only delicious but also quite filling, which made me satisfied. The fact that non-alcoholic drinks were unlimited felt like a great deal. We snorkeled a little away from the sandbar, and I was moved to hear that the coral reef was alive. This spot had many fish, and the coral was beautiful. I swam with fins, which made it easy to move and felt great. We then changed locations to see sea turtles. My digital camera ran out of battery halfway through, so I had to use a disposable underwater camera. As the guide said, the turtles come up for air, which is quite cute!!! I was worried about whether I could capture that adorable moment, but I managed to take photos of the swimming turtles. I also saw turtles on the beach during a different tour, but since they weren't moving, it was a bit disappointing. I was excited to see swimming turtles up close for the first time.
Also, since there were many non-Japanese tourists, I really felt like I was abroad. The explanations were given in both Japanese and English. Perhaps because I received the explanation in Japanese first, I felt like I could understand the English explanation as well. That aspect was refreshing, and I had an incredibly satisfying experience. I think this tour is enjoyable for everyone, from children to the elderly!
見渡す限り、白い世界で驚きました。
ハワイはサーフィンとかが有名なので、こんなにも静かな海があるのかと感動しました。
本当に自分がCMに出演してるんじゃないかと思えるくらい幻想的な光景に酔ってしまいました。
昼食で食べるハンバーガーのハンバーグも、ボートの上でスタッフがグリルしてました!!!匂いだけじゃなく食べても美味でそこそこボリュームもあり満足。ノンアルコールドリンクなら飲み放題ってとこもお得な感じがしました。サンドバーから少し動いたところでシュノーケルをするのですが、珊瑚礁が生きているときいて感動しました。こちらのポイントは魚も多く、珊瑚礁も美しかったです。フィンを付けて泳いだので、結構進むし気持ちよかったです。またポイントを変えて、ウミガメも見に行きました。デジカメの電池が途中でなくなってしまったので、使い捨ての水中カメラでの撮影となりました。ガイドさんの言うとおり、カメは息継ぎで顔を上げるんです。ちょっと可愛いです!!!その愛らしい瞬間を写せたかどうか心配でしたが、泳いでるカメを写真に残すことができてました。違うツアーで、浜辺にいるカメも見学しましたが、動きがないので微妙でした。今回初めて泳いでいるカメを間近で見ることができたので興奮しました。
あと、ツアー客は日本人じゃない方が多かったせいか、海外に来てるって実感がありました。説明も日本語と英語と分けて行われます。最初に日本語で説明を受けているせいか、英語の説明も理解出来るような気になれました。そんなところも新鮮で良い体験が出来たと超満足しています。お子さんからお年寄りまで、誰でも楽しめるツアーだと思います♪

I participated with my 6-year-old son.
We could see the sea turtles swimming perfectly.
We were able to borrow a snorkeling set for kids, so we had a great time exploring underwater.
The hamburgers grilled on the boat were incredibly delicious.
My little one went back for seconds and was called a glutton.

This is my third time in Hawaii, but it was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. I heard it was featured in a TV commercial, and the water was truly clear with a wonderful view. I thought it was sand, but I learned that it was coral that had been eroded, which explains the high transparency.
At first, I practiced snorkeling, and when we moved to the coral reef, I was able to dive in smoothly. However, the water was a bit cold. At the coral reef, I was able to see a lot of fish. The day before, I went on a different tour to see sea turtles on the beach. Naturally, they were not moving, and I was happy to see them up close, but the sea turtles I saw at the sandbar were swimming, which was exciting in a way! The way the turtles surfaced was very impressive, and I was satisfied with the photos I took.
The cheeseburger for lunch was also very delicious, and since the non-alcoholic drinks were all-you-can-drink, I felt it was a good deal. There were really many guests who were not Japanese, which made me feel like I was abroad. I had a great experience chatting in broken English and enjoying the atmosphere.
ハワイは3度目ですがサンドバーのツアーには初めて参加しました。
テレビCMにも使用されたと説明がありましたが、本当に水が透明で素晴らしい光景でした。
砂だと思っていましたが珊瑚が削られて出現したと聞き、そのおかげで透明度が高いのかと納得です。
最初、シュノーケルの練習をしたこともあり、珊瑚礁の方に移動した際も、すんなり臨めました。ただ、ちょっと水が冷たかったです。珊瑚礁の方は魚もたくさん見ることが出来ました。
前日に違うツアーで浜辺にいる海カメを見に行きました。
当然のことながら動きがなく、近くで見れたのは嬉しかったのですが、サンドバーで見た海カメは泳いでいるので、或る意味興奮しました!!!カメが水面に顔を出す仕草がとても印象的で、写真も上手く撮れて満足です。
ランチのチーズバーガーもとても美味しくて、ノンアルコールドリンクは飲み放題だったため、お得に感じました。
本当に日本人以外のお客さんも多く、海外にきているという気分も味わえ、片言の英語で会話をしたりなど、よい体験が出来ました。
