サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

With my mother in her 70s 70代の母と

Reviewed by: きょん

It was a very cloudy day, but we were lucky that the sun only shone when we arrived at the sandbar! My mother, in her 70s, didn't have a swimsuit, but she waded into the water up to her thighs wearing her shorts and a sun-protective hoodie, excitedly exclaiming, "I haven't been in the ocean in decades!" (laughs) After returning to the boat, she changed in the restroom to avoid getting cold.

It was a bit disappointing that the tour didn't include stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), as my mother had expressed interest in trying it, but it was just the right tour for us since we weren't planning to get in the water. The staff, who were fluent in Japanese, were attentive throughout and shared various stories about Hawaii, which was also very enjoyable. They have a wealth of experience related to the tour and are properly qualified.

Next time, I plan to try snorkeling and SUP at the emerald green sandbar with this company on a sunny day!

どん曇りの一日でしたが、サンドバーに着いた時にだけ日差しが差し込み、とてもラッキーでした!
70代の母も、水着が無いなりに手持ちのショートパンツと日除けパーカーで股まで着水し、「数十年ぶりに海に入ったわ!」と興奮しておりました(笑)船に戻った後は、体を冷やさないようトイレで着替えておりました。

母が「SUPしてみたい」と言っていたので含まれていなかった点は残念でしたが、海に浸かるつもりの無かった私たちにはちょうど良いツアーでした。
日本語が堪能なスタッフさんは終始皆さんに気配りくださり、ハワイの色々なお話を聞けたことも大変良かったです^^ツアーに関する経験も豊富で、資格もきっちり備えていらっしゃるそうです。

次はまたこちらの会社さんで、晴れたエメラルドグリーンのサンドバーで、シュノーケルとSUPに挑戦してみようと思います!

Reviewed by: こうちゃん

My wife and I, along with our daughter and her husband and our grandchild, participated in the event. We checked the tide schedule in advance and joined, but it wasn't as low tide as we expected. As a result, our grandchild stayed with us on the boat. However, our daughter and her husband enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking. Additionally, during snorkeling, we were able to admire various fish along with the coral reefs. We are grateful for the kind assistance from the staff.

私たち老夫婦は、娘夫婦と孫と参加しました。事前に干潮の日時を調べて参加しましたが、思ったほどの干潮ではありませんでした。よって、孫は船内に私たちと待機でした。しかし、娘夫婦はSUPやカヤックを堪能しました。また、スノーケリングでは、サンゴ礁とともに様々な魚を鑑賞することができました。スタッフの皆さんの優しいご対応に感謝します。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

Amazing adventure!!

Reviewed by: Jaykay

We loved everything about the this tour. We went in the morning, and the water was almost waist deep but it didn’t bother us. We got to see many fish by snorkeling, did standup paddle boarding, kayaking, and listened to the amazing musicians perform onboard. The crew were very kind, helpful and entertaining. They made it extra fun. My husband and I had a great time and would gladly do it again, only with KBOS. Highly recommend going with this crew.

The guide was wonderful. ガイドさんが素晴らしかった

Reviewed by: M &M

I wasn't confident in my swimming skills, but since we wore life jackets, there were no problems, and the guides were always watching over us. The guides also spoke a little Japanese. We brought waterproof cases for our smartphones and filmed scenes of us swimming with the fish. We left our belongings on the chairs inside the boat. There was always someone watching over us inside the boat, and I heard there are security cameras as well.

I was able to see sea turtles from the boat twice! It felt strange to be away from land yet in shallow water. It was truly amazing.

I'm grateful to the guides as well. At the end, I gave a tip to the person who was always singing for us. Thank you very much! 😊

泳ぎに自信が無かったですが、ライフガードを着用するので問題ないですし、常にガイドさんが見張ってくれます。そのガイドさんたちも日本語を少し喋ってくれます。私たちはスマホ用防水ケースを持っていき、魚と泳ぐシーンを動画で撮影しました。荷物は、船内の椅子に置いてました。船内は常に誰かが見張ってくれますし、防犯カメラもあるそうです。
ウミガメは船内から2度見ることができました!陸から離れているのに浅瀬という不思議な感覚になりました。ほんとに最高でした。

The lunch was a bit unsatisfying. ランチが少し物足りない

Reviewed by: Gusu

The fish population was denser than at Hanauma Bay, and I even encountered a sea turtle while paddleboarding. The songs on the boat were wonderful!

For lunch, it was just a piece of ham and a piece of cheese sandwiched between two slices of bread, which left me thinking, "Really... is this lunch?" If they had made it a bit more luxurious, it would have balanced out the overall experience, but this part felt too cost-cutting and might lower the impression of the whole trip.

ハナウマベイよりは魚影が濃く、サップ中にウミガメにも会えました。
船上の歌も素敵でした!

ランチはパンにハム1枚とチーズ1枚挟んだだけの物で、「えぇ、、これがランチ?」と言う印象。もう少しだけ豪華にすれば総合的にバランスが取れるのに、ここだけコスト抑え過ぎてて全体の印象が落ちてしまいそうです。

Reviewed by: K.K

It was a tour on a day with a bit of strong wind, but I had a great time!

I got to see sea turtles, and the tour captain and staff were all very kind, which made me very satisfied! On this tour, there were two staff members who spoke Japanese, and they carefully explained the safety instructions on the boat, how to play at the sandbar, and how to snorkel! (They provided explanations in Japanese after the English ones.)

I was able to see sea turtles while at the sandbar and during snorkeling, so it was a very valuable experience!

The bus driver who took us to the port was also a friendly and nice person!

I had a wonderful experience until the end, and it was really fun!

Memories typical of Hawaii ハワイらしい思い出

Reviewed by: ともさん

I participated in this activity during my honeymoon trip to Hawaii, hoping to have a Hawaiian experience. The weather had been bad until the day before, but on the day of the activity, the weather cleared up, and we were able to proceed without any issues.

The crew members were locals, but they spoke Japanese fluently, so there were no communication problems at all. They encouraged us to take lots of photos, which made for great memories.

I would love to participate again the next time I visit Hawaii!

Cancellation fee... キャンセル料が、、

Reviewed by: ジュリ

On the day I arrived in Honolulu, the weather was bad and cold the next day, and I ended up catching a cold. I thought it would be impossible to go into the ocean in such cold weather, so I immediately contacted the tour company. However, they told me that since it was just three days prior, there would be a 100% cancellation fee. Reluctantly, I went anyway, but it was very cold, and I ended up just waiting inside the boat for my companions. Many other people also didn't go into the ocean because of the cold, so I really think this tour should be avoided depending on the season. No matter the reason, having a 100% cancellation fee three days before is quite harsh.

今回ホノルル到着日、翌日とお天気悪く寒くて風邪をひいてしまいました。
これでは寒い中海に入るのは無理と思い、直ぐにツアー会社に連絡をしましたが、丁度3日前でキャンセル料が100%かかると言われ、仕方なく無理して行きましたが、とても寒くやはり船の中で連れを待っているだけで終わってしまいました。
他にもたくさんの人が寒くて海には入っていなかったので、
このツアーは時期によってはやめた方がいいとつくづく思いました。
どんな理由でも、キャンセル料が3日前で100%と言うのもかなりきついです。

Aloha Julie,

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear that you were unable to fully enjoy the tour due to the cold weather. We remember receiving your call when you expressed your concerns about the cold and wished to cancel. It was unfortunate that we had to inform you that cancellations due to weather conditions are difficult to accommodate, and we regret that we could not meet your expectations.

Our tours take place in natural environments, so we cannot completely control the changes in weather. We hope you understand that we apply our standard cancellation policy uniformly for management purposes. We will take your valuable feedback into account as we strive to improve our services in the future.

Thank you once again for your candid comments.

弊社のツアーは自然環境の中で行われるため、天候の変化は完全にコントロールすることができません。 また管理上、規定のキャンセルポリシーを一律で適用させていただいておりますことを ご理解いただけますと幸いです。
貴重なご意見は今後のサービス向上のために大切に活かしてまいります。

Wonderful scenery and experience. 素晴らしい景色と体験

Reviewed by: Tiko

I participated with my 85-year-old mother and daughter, making it a three-generation family outing. The seawater at the sandbar was unexpectedly cold, and my mother decided to wait on the boat instead of going in. However, thanks to the very attentive staff's support, she was able to enter the water, and we had a wonderful experience riding on a SUP together.

Surrounded by magnificent scenery, we spent meaningful time in the crystal-clear sea, and I am very satisfied with the experience. It has become a great memory for us. There was also a live performance on the boat heading to the sandbar, and listening to music while enjoying the breathtaking views was the best feeling.

One issue I encountered was that I wished the meeting point had been indicated with a map in the email. The email stated that the meeting point was Kalakaua Avenue, but in reality, it was Paoakalani Avenue. When the bus didn’t arrive on time, I tried to check the email for confirmation, but I couldn’t access it without logging in. Since I was in a hurry, it took me a while to find my ID and password, which was quite troublesome. I managed to call and get assistance, so I was able to catch the bus, but I was a bit late and ended up inconveniencing those who were already on board.

85歳の母と娘と3世代家族で参加しました。サンドバーの海水が予想外に冷たく、母は海に入ることを諦め船で待っていましたが、とても親身なスタッフのサポートのおかげで海に入ることができ、娘とSUPに乗ったりと素晴らしい体験ができました。
壮大な景色に包まれ、透き通る海の中で有意義な時間を過ごすことができとても満足しています。とても良い思い出になりました。
サンドバーに向かうまでの船の中でもライブパフォーマンスがあり音楽を聴きながら絶景を見れ最高な気分でした。

一つ困ったことと言えば、待ち合わせ場所をメール内で地図等で示して欲しかったです。送られてきたメールには待ち合わせ場所はKalakaua Avenueと書かれていましたが、実際はパオアカラニ アベニューでした。時間になってもバスが来なかったので送られて来ていたメールで確認しようとしたら、ログインしないと確認できず、急いでいたのでIDやパスワードを調べるのに時間かかって大変困りました。電話をかけ対応していただけたので何とかバスに乗れましたが、少し遅れてしまい既にバスに乗車していた方々に迷惑をかけてしまいました。

We had such an amazing experience on our Kaneohe Sandbar tour. The crew from start to finish was friendly and comforting. They made us feel right at home.

Reviewed by: 60’s

Despite the declaration of a state of emergency and the bad weather, the event went ahead. I inquired via email the day before, and I was very grateful for the prompt response in Japanese.

Due to the rain and wind, and the low water temperature, we got out of the sea after an hour. After that, we enjoyed a pleasant time with live music. The staff were very polite, and we had a great time.

It was a pity that we couldn't see the color of the sea well under the blue sky, but they circled the bay on the way back, so we were able to fully appreciate the atmosphere. Although it was cold and windy, there were many fish in the water, and I was glad to have participated. Thank you very much! 😊

緊急事態宣言が出された中、悪天候でしたが催行されました。前日にメールで問い合わせさせていただきましたが、すぐに日本語でお返事をくださったので大変助かりました。

雨風の中、水温も低かったので1時間で海からあがりました。そのあとは生演奏の音楽の中、心地よく過ごしました。

Shelter sucks

Reviewed by: Hansol

Weather was bad - cold and windy, not something controllable. (Although given such wind and low temperature , it might have been ethical for the tour to cancel itself.) But 1) the bus had all of the boat waiting after the trip for about 30 minutes, 2) there wasn’t a sufficient wind shelter for everyone, meaning old ppl and babies were exposed to cold wind. The lunch was also meh - bbq is an overstatement for hamburger patties and buns. Crew was friendly.

There are plenty of activities. アクテビィティ盛りだくさん

Reviewed by: もつ

I only did snorkeling and banana boating, but I was very satisfied! Most of the participants were Japanese, but there was a staff member who spoke Japanese well, so there were no communication issues! The live music was lovely, and the luxurious shuttle bus was a comfortable and pleasantly surprising point.

シュノーケリングとバナナボートしかやりませんでしたがとても満足でした!
参加者も日本人ばかりでしたが、日本語上手なスタッフさんがいて意思疎通に困る事はありませんでした!ライブミュージックも素敵でしたし、送り迎えのバスが豪華なのが快適で地味に嬉しいポイントでした。

Kaneohe Sandbar Tour with Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Live Hawaiian Music - Kaneohe Bay Ocean Sports

The music was great and the turtle we saw was it !!

Reviewed by: Japanese Hispanic

We weren’t impressed at all about the voyage you take to the sandbar . We literally just went backwards in the boat for 100 yards and we were there. The pictures make it seem as you travel a ways to a destination …. The music was awesome and so was the light skin Hawaiian 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽……. The crew was nice but for our party of 6 , we all agreed it was lame .

The weather and the sea are both in a good mood. お天気も海もご機嫌

Reviewed by: のべっち

The weather was great, making for an incredibly fun activity. I also tried stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), and the waves were calm, so I was able to stand up and paddle right away. Being pulled at high speed on the bumper tube and banana boat had me laughing more than ever this year. I was also very satisfied to see sea turtles up close.

There are staff members who speak Japanese, and they provided donuts, juice, and water, so it was no problem even if I missed breakfast.

天気にも恵まれて最高に楽しいアクティビティとなりました。SUPにも挑戦しましたが、波も穏やかなのですぐに立って漕げるようになりました。
バンパーチューブとバナナボートで高速で引っ張って貰い今年一番笑いが止まりませんでした。
ウミガメも近距離で見れて大満足。

日本語を話せるスタッフもいますし、ドーナツとジュース、水も提供してくれるので朝ごはん間に合わなくても大丈夫でした

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも!<午前・午後/日本語クルー>

The turtle is close!!! カメが近い!!!

Reviewed by: poyo

The weather wasn't great, but the waves were calm, so we were able to enjoy various activities. Other activities, like interacting with turtles at the deep sea or the venue, can be quite challenging for children, but turtles also came to the sandbar, and the experience of seeing them up close in the shallow water was fantastic. I highly recommend it for families with kids. The staff who spoke Japanese (local people?) were very kind.

天気に恵まれなかったのですが、波が穏やかでしたので諸々楽しめました。他のアクティビティは深い海の底や会場でカメと触れ合うため子供には大変ですが、サンドバーにもカメがやってきてくれて、浅瀬でカメを間近に見れる体験は最高でした。子連れにこそおススメです。日本語を話せるスタッフさん(現地の方?)がとても親切でした。

Encounter with sea turtles in the paradise of the sea! 天国の海で海亀遭遇!

Reviewed by: たよに

Satomi and her group had an amazing time, and the live music on the boat was wonderful! It was a bit cold, but we could do as much snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking as we wanted! The fish were so big that it was a little intimidating. Seeing the black, fast sea turtles in person was like being in heaven.

サトミさん御一行が最高に楽しくて、船の生演奏も素敵!少し寒かったけど、シュノーケリングのサップもカヤックもやり放題!魚はデカすぎてちょっとビビります。黒くて早い海亀も生で見れて天国でした。

Not bad

The tour wasn't bad, but it wasn't as fantastic as I had hoped for. "Lunch" was a simple sandwich and a pack of chips that left us hungry. The sandbar was beautiful but snorkeling was underwhelming.

Aloha Bunny,

Thank you very much for choosing our tour and for taking the time to share your honest feedback.

We apologize that the lunch provided did not meet your expectations. We aim to provide a convenient meal to keep the energy up, but we understand that a sandwich and chips may feel light after a morning of activity. Your comments regarding the portion size and variety are very helpful, and we will certainly review our catering options with our team.

Regarding the snorkeling, the marine conditions can vary day to day, but we are sorry to hear it felt underwhelming during your visit. We will use your feedback to look into how we can better guide our guests to the best viewing areas.

We value your patronage and hope to have the chance to welcome you back in the future for an experience that truly exceeds your expectations.

You won't regret it!

Reviewed by: Chloe

The captain and staffs are amazing. They take good care of us and make sure we are safe while having fun. The boat provided spam musubi, chips, cookies, granola bars and drinks. We had fun playing SUP on the sandbar and the water is so clear. The snokeling is the most fun part of the tour. We were able to see sea turtle that swim by us so close. Highly recommended to join if you are coming to Hawaii.
