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>

Beautiful sea and sea turtles. 綺麗な海とウミガメ

Reviewed by: p−j

I went at the timing of the lowest tide during my stay, and it was about waist-deep. The staff mentioned it was shallow, so it might not be possible to see the sandy beach. However, even from a distance, the color of the sea here is completely different, which makes the journey exciting. I was wondering where we would do stand-up paddleboarding, so it was quite understandable.

The edge of this reef is a coral reef (with steep cliffs), and there are many sea turtles there. Everyone swims along with the staff, so it's safe to observe (though it gets a bit congested... (laughs)). Sometimes they come close to the surface for air! (The staff said I was lucky.) Of course, we shouldn't touch them.

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned halfway through, and I couldn't take any pictures of the sea turtles, which was disappointing, but I was able to remember it well, so that was enough for me.

The cheerful and energetic staff, delicious spam onigiri, and fun activities... I had a wonderful experience.

滞在中最も干潮になるタイミングで行きましたが、それで腰ぐらいの深さでした。スタッフさんは浅いよ〜っておっしゃっていたので砂浜が見えることは無いのかもしれません。ただ遠くから見てもここだけ全く海の色が違うので向かう途中からワクワクします。そもそもサップをどこでやるんだろう?と思っていたので、まあ納得でした。
この岩礁の縁は珊瑚礁になっていて(切立った崖)そこにウミガメが沢山います。スタッフさんについて皆並んで泳ぎますので危なげ無く見学できます(ちょっと渋滞しますが…(笑))たまに呼吸で浮かんで近くに来ることも!(ラッキーだよとスタッフさんに言われました)もちろん触っちゃいけません。
今回途中でカメラの調子がおかしくなってウミガメを全く撮る事ができず残念でしたが、記憶にはしっかり残せたので十分です。
明るくて元気なスタッフさん達、美味しいスパムおにぎり、楽しいアクティビティ…素晴らしい経験をさせてもらえました。

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour the other day.

I sincerely apologize for not being able to encounter the sandbar with the beautiful beach that you were looking forward to. I'm also very sorry to hear that your camera was acting up.

Still, I am very pleased to hear that you had a wonderful experience. I believe the sea turtle that came close to you brought some lovely luck.

Thank you very much for the beautiful photos and your review.

I was able to see sea turtles very up close! 海亀がとても近くで見れました!

Reviewed by: みぃ

I chose the day with the lowest tide during my trip to Hawaii and made a reservation, but at the lowest point, the water was up to my knees.

Since it was an early morning course, it was cold! The water felt quite cold until I got used to it.

We headed to the sandbar on two boats, and our boat spent about an hour taking photos and enjoying stand-up paddleboarding freely. The last hour was for snorkeling. We were able to see several sea turtles! They swam very close to us! It was a bit disappointing that the water where we were snorkeling was a little murky, but I was very satisfied because I got to see so many sea turtles. For those who can't swim, the guide provides solid support, so there are no issues.

On the boat, there were self-service rice balls, snacks, and drinks. I was very grateful for the hot drinks.

Most of the participants were Japanese. It became a wonderful memory!

ハワイ旅行の日程の中で1番潮の引いている日にちを選んで予約しましたが
1番浅い時で膝ぐらいまでありました。

早朝のコースだったので寒かったです!
水も慣れるまでは冷たく感じました。

2つのボートでサンドバーへ向かい、私達のボートは
最初に約1時間弱、サンドバーで写真を撮ったりSUPに乗ったりと各々自由に過ごしました。
後半の1時間弱がシュノーケリングでした。
海亀を何匹も見ることができました!すぐ近くで泳いでくれます!
シュノーケリングしていたところの海水は少し濁っていたのが残念でしたが
たくさん海亀を見ることができたので大満足です。
泳げない人はガイドさんがしっかりサポートしてくれるので問題ありません。

ボートにはセルフサービスでおにぎりとスナック、ドリンクがありました。
ホットドリンクがあったのがとてもありがたかったです。

参加者はほとんど日本人でした。

I swam with a honu (sea turtle)!! ホヌと一緒に泳げた!!

Reviewed by: のり

The tour was mostly made up of Japanese people. There were a few crew members who could speak Japanese, and after the English explanation, there was also a Japanese explanation, so even someone like me, who is not good at English, was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Even though I can't float with a life jacket, I was able to participate in snorkeling thanks to the life jackets provided! There was also practice time for those who are not good at swimming, so everyone, including those who said they were not good at swimming, participated. There were many fish, and I was able to swim with the honu, making it an amazing experience.

ツアーは日本人が大半でした。
クルーの人は日本語が話せる方が数名いて、英語の説明のあと、日本語の説明もあったので、英語が苦手なわたしでも安心して楽しむことが出来ました。
カナヅチで浮くことも出来ないわたしでも、ライフジャケットがあったのでシュノーケリングにも参加できました!泳ぎが苦手な人の為に練習時間もあったので、同じく泳ぎが苦手と言っていた方も含めて全員が参加していました。
魚もたくさんいて、ホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができて、最高な体験が出来ました。

For those who are trying snorkeling for the first time, we provide practice time to learn how to wear the mask and other essentials. Of course, since this is a water sport, it's important not to push yourself too hard, but our staff is always nearby, so please feel free to try it out like you did, Nori. I'm really happy to hear that you were able to swim with the honu.

Please come back to visit the honu again. We are looking forward to that day with all our hearts.

The shuttle from the hotel was lively and filled with fun conversations, and we arrived at the port in no time! The weather was great, and the ocean was beautiful! We participated in snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding. During snorkeling, they taught us how to swim, and we were able to see many fish and sea turtles.

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

MUST DO WATER ACTIVITY!!

Reviewed by: Hong

This was the most fun water activity my friends and I did. We did the 9AM excursion so the sun was not fully out and was kind of chilly out there. But you end up warming up in the water. The snorkeling was amazing this was the most fishes that we saw during our whole time in Hawai'i (we've done snorkeling about 3x this trip). We also did the Bumper tube ride. I would only recommend this if you want some adrenaline! Since we did the 9AM, they provided donuts and OJ. I would recommend that you bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks. There is also a convenient store by the dock if you want to pick up food. If you're wondering, they DO have restrooms on the boat and a changing room as well. Bring a set of comfortable clothes to change into (: This is the 1 activity i would do again!

You can meet beautiful seas, fish, and sea turtles. キレイな海、魚、ウミガメに会える

Reviewed by: まゆみ

I participated in a tour at the end of August. We gathered at a hotel in Waikiki around 9 AM and moved by bus. From 11 AM to 1 PM, we enjoyed activities in the ocean. We arrived back at the hotel at 2 PM.

On the boat heading out to sea, we were provided with water and juice. There were also snacks and Spam rice balls, all for free. We went snorkeling and observed the fish in the ocean. The guide pointed out the locations of the fish and coral, and we were able to see beautiful fish. It felt like being in Nemo's world.

Although it was in the morning, the weather was nice, and we were able to stand on the sandbar. I was with my 10-year-old and 6-year-old children, and they were able to stand as well. There were no waves.

You can borrow floaties and stand-up paddleboarding equipment for free. There are also floaties available for children. While we were playing, a sea turtle swam by, and we were able to see it up close.

On the return boat ride, we could enjoy warm coffee, tea, and cocoa for free. There were also crew members who spoke Japanese, which was reassuring. There is a restroom on the boat as well.

My children were very satisfied.

Although the price seemed high, considering the high cost of living in Hawaii, I think the cost performance is good for participating in this tour at this price.

This far exceeded my expectations. The staff was great and it was a really fun experience. There were tons of fish around for the snorkeling and the kayaks and stand up paddle boards were fun to use.

It is necessary to check the tide level. 潮位の確認が必要。

Reviewed by: りえ

The day we participated, the depth was just enough for adults to stand. Depending on the tide, it can be completely different from the photos, so it's better to check before signing up. It was also a windy day in late September, and the water temperature was low, so the kids got cold and quickly wanted to get out, which was unfortunate. (There were even babies who enjoyed it for over an hour.)

All the staff were very friendly, and it was reassuring that the Japanese-speaking staff provided thorough explanations. It was almost full, and there wasn't a place to sit, but they kindly asked us to move, which was a great help.

If you're going to snorkel, it seems better to have marine shoes. I bumped my foot against the coral reef (which you shouldn't touch) and got injured.

私たちが参加した日は、大人がやっと足がつく深さでした。潮位によっては、写真と全く異なるので、調べてから申し込んだ方が良いです。また9月下旬の風の強い日で、水温も低く子供達は寒がりすぐに出てしまい残念でした。(1時間以上楽しんでいた赤ちゃんもいました)
スタッフの皆さんは、全員感じが良く、日本語スタッフの方が丁寧に説明してくださるので安心です。ほぼ満席で座る場所がなかったのですが、移動をお願いしてくださり大変助かりました。
シュノーケルをするなら、マリンシューズがあった方が良さそうです。珊瑚礁に足をぶつけてしまい(触ってはいけません)怪我をしてしまいました。

Thank you for participating in the KBOS tour. How is your injury now? I hope you are feeling better. I am very sorry that the weather and tide did not meet your expectations on the day of the tour.

Reviewed by: De Ocampo Family

This is the second time going to Captain Bob’s Kaneohe Sandbar excursion. We went with friends last year and had such an amazing experience. We definitely had to take the kids to experience it. Kids had an amazing time playing volleyball and snorkeling around the reef. We even saw some turtles. Burgers were delish! The crew were professional and caring. While snorkeling my daughter was stung by two jellyfishes and the crew were so attentive to her. Major props to them. Definitely a 5 star!

We were lucky to see so many turtles on the sail out to the reef and then magically we saw one while snorkeling. I will never forget that experience!

Snorkeling and SUP experience in a beautiful sea. きれいな海でシュノーケリングとSUP体験

Reviewed by: onechan

I participated in a snow boat tour due to the children's wish to swim in the beautiful sea. Although I wasn't very enthusiastic since I'm not good at swimming, I was thrilled to be able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling. The children, who have strong core and leg muscles, were able to stand up on the SUP right away, but I, having passed my sixtieth birthday and with weakened legs, couldn't stand until the end, which was quite frustrating. However, before I knew it, I was completely absorbed in playing until the very last moment. The spam sushi made by the staff was delicious when I got a little hungry.

きれいな海で泳ぎたいという子どもたちの希望でスノーバーツアーに参加しました。泳ぎの得意でない私は乗り気ではありませんでしたが、行ってみるとシュノーケリングではウミガメと泳ぐことができて大興奮。SUPは体幹があって足腰がしっかりしている子どもたちはすぐに立つことができたのに還暦を過ぎて足腰が弱った私は最後まで立つことができず、大変悔しい思いをしましたが、気がつけば時間ギリギリまで夢中で遊んでしまいました。小腹が減った時に食べたスタッフさんお手製のスパム握りがおいしかったです。

Focusing on a comparison with a certain tour. 某ツアーとの比較を中心に

Reviewed by: Yui

The sea was beautiful, the staff was cheerful and kind, there was live music, and the activities were a lot of fun!

This time, I participated in two consecutive tours to different sandbars, so I will compare based on my experiences.
- Boat size (this tour had a larger boat. The restroom was also fairly decent. Since there were many passengers, the atmosphere may vary depending on the participants. When we joined, there were relatively many families and three generations participating, which created a friendly vibe.)
- Activities (if you want to try banana boating or bumper tubing, this is the tour for you. Both snorkeling and SUP were enjoyable on either tour.)
- Live music (when we participated in this tour, the songs were mainly famous ones from Japan and Disney.)
- Provided snacks (the donuts here were American-sized and sweet.)
- Boat docking location (it was a bit far from the shallowest part of the sandbar. Due to tidal conditions, there were places where children around 120 cm tall could not touch the bottom at all... although life jackets were provided, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not good at swimming.)
- Japanese guide (it may vary by day, but on the days we participated, the guides provided detailed explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring.)
- Changing clothes, etc. (I think it's better to prepare something to wear over your swimsuit and plan to get on the bus as is. There are restrooms at the port, but they are limited, and the women's restroom has a long line. It is recommended to keep wearing aqua shoes. If you want to take videos or photos, don't forget a waterproof phone case!)

海は美しく、スタッフも陽気で親切、ライブ演奏もあり、アクティビティも大変楽しかったです!

今回2日連続でサンドバーが目的地の異なるツアーに参加したので、体験した範囲で比較してみます。
・ボートのサイズ(こちらのツアーの方が大きかったです。お手洗いもそれなりにしっかりしたものがあります。乗船人数が多いので、参加者によって雰囲気が左右されると思います。私たちが参加したときは親子連れや三世代参加が比較的多く和やかでした)
・アクティビティ(バナナボート、バンパーチューブにトライしたい場合はこちら。シュノーケリングやSUPはどちらでも楽しめました)
・ライブ演奏(私たちがこちらのツアーに参加したときは、日本でも有名な曲やディズニー中心でした)
・提供される軽食(こちらのドーナツはアメリカンなサイズと甘さでした)
・ボートの係留場所(サンドバーの一番の浅瀬からは少し離れた場所でした。潮位の条件もあって身長120㎝程の子供は全く足が着かない場所もあり…ライフジャケット着用ですが、泳ぐのが苦手な子にはややハードルが高いかもしれません)
・日本人ガイド(日によると思いますが、どちらのツアーも参加した日は日本語で細々とした点まで説明してくださって安心感がありました)
・着替えなど(どちらも水着の上に羽織れるものを用意して、そのままバスに乗る前提でいたほうがいいと思います。港にお手洗いがありますが、数が少なく女子トイレは長蛇の列になります。足もとはアクアシューズを履きっぱなしにするのがおすすめです。動画や写真を撮りたい方は防水スマホケースをお忘れなく!)

It might have been good. よかったかも

Reviewed by: ハムスター

I experienced two types of snorkeling tours with my wife, one at Hanauma Bay and the other at Sandbar, but the Sandbar tour was somewhat disappointing. The reason is that the water clarity is inferior compared to Hanauma Bay, and there were hardly any fish, which was unfortunate. Additionally, unlike the guide at Hanauma Bay, you have to take your own photos and videos, which brings the risk of losing or damaging your smartphone and adds extra hassle. On the positive side, it is easy to encounter sea turtles, and there are activities other than snorkeling, which was a nice aspect.

私は妻とシュノーケリングツアーを2種類それぞれハナウマ湾とサンドバーを体験させていただきましたがこちらのサンドバーツアーはいまいちでした。
理由としては海の透明感がハナウマ湾に比べ劣っている事や魚が全然居ないので残念です。
また、ハナウマ湾のガイドと違い写真や動画はご自身で撮らないといけないのでスマホの紛失や故障のリスクもつきまとったり手間がかかる点も残念ポイントです。
良い点としては海亀に会いやすい事やシュノーケリング以外の遊びがあるのでそれは良いポイントでした。

A lifetime of memories 一生の思い出

Reviewed by: はるな

Thank you for a truly wonderful time! The driver's explanations during the trip were clear in Japanese, and the vehicle was cool and comfortable. Once we arrived, I just took care of the restroom (they even pointed out the cleaner one) and off we went!

On the way to the points in a larger boat, we saw turtles and were shown a spot where the sea looks heart-shaped! The water's clarity was amazing, and the staff's teamwork in providing explanations in both English and Japanese, sticking to the schedule, and their overall hospitality was outstanding. The snorkeling was taught kindly to me, who struggles with swimming, and I was able to participate successfully, and guess what! I even got to swim with turtles! Thank you so much.

At one point, someone dropped their GoPro, and the staff worked hard to dive and search for it (which they later found), and they took photos for us on the boat. Everything was just perfect. If I were richer, I would have loved to give even more tips!!! I look forward to doing this again.

本当に素敵な時間をありがとうございました!行き帰りの運転手さんの説明も途中日本語で分かりやすく、移動車の中も涼しくて快適。着いたらおトイレだけ済ませて(これも綺麗な方のトイレを教えていただいた)レッツゴー!
大きめのボートでポイントに行く途中、亀が見れて、ハート形に海の中が見えるスポットも教えてもらいました!
水の透明度は素晴らしく、またスタッフの方々の連携プレーで英語、日本語での説明、スケジュール通りの進行、ホスピタリティ全てが素晴らしかったです。シュノーケリングは泳ぎの苦手な私に優しく教えてくださり、無事参加することができ、なんと!亀と泳ぐことも出来ました!本当にありがとうございました。
途中goproを落とした方がいて、その方のために一生懸命スタッフの方が潜って探されていたり(のちに見つかった)、ボート上で写真を撮ってくれたりなど、本当にどれをとっても最高でした。私がもっとリッチならもっともっとチップを渡したかったです!!!またよろしくお願いします。

Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for your review. We are delighted to hear that you were comfortable from the pick-up to the end of the tour. Although you mentioned you are not a strong swimmer, it brought a smile to my face to read that you were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The title of your message, "A Lifetime Memory," resonates deeply with me.

We hope you will come back again. We are sincerely looking forward to your return. A hui hou.

The sandbar is a must-see!
The snorkeling isn't in very clear water, so it's a bit difficult to see the fish.

シュノーケリングは、あまり透明度が高いところではないので、少しお魚が見にくいです。

Snorkeling is the best! シュノーケリングが最高

Reviewed by: はせのよめ

We arrived at the sandbar in about 15 minutes by boat. The seawater is a bit cold. While enjoying the transparent sea, we leisurely played for about 45 minutes with SUP (one per group), snorkeling, and floaties. During that time, we had snacks like drinks, Spam rolls (one per person), and chips on the boat, and we were able to enjoy cola, which we hesitated to buy due to the weak yen.

They took us to the snorkeling point, where we could see plenty of fish up close. Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but it was beautiful and fun. There was a woman who spoke Japanese, so we had no trouble communicating. We went in the afternoon, but we were able to return around 4 PM, which allows for some evening fun around Waikiki, making it worthwhile whether you go in the morning or afternoon.

船で15分ほどでサンドバーへ到着。
少し海水は冷たいです。
透き通る海に感動しながらSUP(1組にひとつ)シュノーケル、浮き輪などのんびり45分ほど遊びます。その間船ではドリンクやスパム巻き(1人ひとつ)ポテチ等のスナックが食べられ、円安で躊躇していたコーラなど堪能できました。
シュノーケルポイントまで連れて行ってくれ、手に触れるほどに魚がたくさん見れます。亀は残念ながら見れませんでしたが、綺麗で楽しいです。
日本語の話せる女性がおり、困ることはありません。午後の部で行きましたが4時ころには帰れるので夜もワイキキ周辺で遊べて時間的にも午前でも午後でも有意義で良いと思います。

Sandbar Snorkeling Cruise サンドバー(砂州)シュノーケルクルーズ

Reviewed by: KEI

I participated thinking I could land on a sandbar and enjoy snorkeling in the shallow waters, as mentioned in the guidebook and tour advertisement.

However, on the day of my visit, the sandbar was underwater, at a depth of 1.2 meters, likely due to high tide. I wore a life jacket and enjoyed snorkeling, but unfortunately, I didn't encounter any fish.

I would have appreciated it if the tour advertisement had mentioned that the sandbar might not be visible depending on the tides. I recommend that those planning to participate check the high tide times in advance before signing up.

ガイドブックやツアー募集にあるようなサンドバー(砂州)に、上陸して浅瀬でシュノーケリングを楽しめるかと思い参加致しました。

参加日は満ち潮だったのか、サンドバーは海の下、水深1.2m下にありました。
ライフジャケット着用しシュノーケリングは楽しみましたが、魚には遭遇出来ず残念に終わりました。

ツアー募集に潮の満ち引きによっては、サンドバーが海面に出ていない状況になる事がある旨記載して頂きたかったです。
これから参加される方は、事前に満潮時間を確認の上申込される事をお勧めします。

The best option 最高のオプション

Reviewed by: Coo

We booked a plan with a banana boat and a paddle tube for the family. It was an exhilarating experience in the thrilling waters of Hawaii, almost feeling like we were going to be thrown off. We could enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and SUP as we pleased.

The guide spoke fluent Japanese, so there were no issues. A light lunch was provided before swimming, which was just the right amount. We enjoyed live music on the boat, and there was a bottle to put tips in on the way back, which seemed optional.

Since it wasn't during a high tide, we could stand, but the water still reached up to our necks. Floating while gazing at the beautiful sea, fish, and the towering mountains felt uniquely Hawaiian. Even if it rained, it was just a passing shower. It gets cold when you come out of the water, so a jacket is essential. Having a waterproof phone case would have made it even better.

家族でパンパーチューブ、バナナボート付きのプランを申し込み。振り落とされそうなくらいスリル満点ハワイの海を体験。シュノーケリングにカヤック、SUPどれも好きなように楽しめます。
ガイドの方は流暢に日本語を話すので問題ありません。軽いランチも泳ぐ前には適量です。
船上ライブを聴きながら盛り上がり帰りに瓶があるのでチップを入れます。任意の様です。
大潮ではなかったので足はついても首まで海水がありました。きれいな海と魚、高山の山々を眺めながら浮かぶ気分はハワイならではと思います。雨が降っても通り雨。海から上がると寒いので上着は必須です。防水携帯ケースを持ってればもっと最高でした。

The ocean in Hawaii is the best!! ハワイの海は最高!!

Reviewed by: たくや

The water was about waist-deep, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful sea. The ocean at Waikiki is also lovely, with waves and a lively crowd, but the sea at the sandbar was quiet, calm, and refreshing, with only tour participants around, making it truly wonderful!

The staff took many photos for us, and we enjoyed playing beach volleyball and having a hamburger lunch. After lunch, we went to see sea turtles and snorkeled around the coral reefs, enjoying plenty of activities. Many people brought waterproof bags to use their smartphones underwater, which is recommended for taking underwater photos. However, there was a girl who lost her credit card and room key because her bag was open, and her smartphone got submerged (it seemed to be waterproof), so please be careful.

水深は腰くらいあったけと、とても美しい海を堪能しました。ワイキキの海もきれいで波があり人もにぎわっていますが、サンドバーの海はツアーの人しかいなくて静かで穏やかで爽快な素敵な海でとても素晴らしかったです!!
写真もスタッフの方がたくさん撮ってくださったり、ビーチバレーを楽しんだり、ハンバーガーランチを楽しんだり。ランチの後も、ウミガメを見に行ったり、サンゴ礁周りをシュノーケリングしたり、たくさんアクティビティを楽しめました。水中でスマホを使える防水袋を持ってきている方がたくさんおられ、水中写真が撮れてお勧めです。ただ袋が空いて、クレジットカードとルームカードキーを無くされ、スマホが水没された女の子がいたので(防水仕様で大丈夫だったようです)、要注意してください。

Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

Do it!

Reviewed by: Raoury

Absolutely give it a go, had an amazing time. Compared to the outrageously expensive chartered cruises you can take to the sand bar this is by far the best way to do it. Just paddle out and take everything at your own pace. We ended up floating around with several turtles whilst on the sand bar and had an amazing four hours. Definitely the way to do it if you can handle the 40-minute paddle out there.

Aloha Raoury! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave such an awesome review! We agree that kayaking is the way to experience the sandbar if you're up for that paddle! That is great feedback and we really appreciate it. Stoked to hear you had an awesome sandbar kayaking experience with us. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!

This is my child's favorite tour, so we use it every time we go to Hawaii (about the 6th time?). This time, there were no restroom breaks or turtle watching on the way there. Maybe that meant we had more time to play? It was our first time going on a Saturday, so that might be why.

Overall, we enjoyed it as usual! (*^^*)

子供がお気に入りのツアーなので、ハワイに行くたびに利用させて頂いてます、(6回目くらい?)
