Hanauma Bay Self-Guided Snorkel Tour & Gear Rental with Hotel Transportation

A Relaxing Float in a Volcanic Cone

Reviewed by: Raya

Worst part was getting up for a 5:50am shuttle pick-up. But it was well worth it. Our shuttle was full and there were more instructions at the top of the Bay, where gear rental was distributed and we were placed into manageable groups for the ticket office. But the organizers knew what they were doing, kept track of everyone, despite confusing looks on some of our faces (mine!). Plenty of room at the beach; clean basic facilities. Information booth was staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful guides. I noticed a long line at the locker & gear rental. In the past 10 years of 4 snorkeling trips (I'm obviously not avid), Hanauma Bay comes in 3rd as far as plentiful ocean life.* Maybe because of climate change, 10 years ago was the last of the best of snorkeling? Glad I went though. I was going to skip it because of the tourism. But the agencies in charge struck the best balance possible for an endangered reef and we humans who want to pay our respects to Kanaloa and Pele, for the beautiful gifts they bestowed.

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 long-awaited paradise of the sea! 念願の天国の海！

Reviewed by: えみ

I was moved by the incredibly beautiful blue sea!
We gathered at the port and spent about three hours together, during which we not only saw the sandbar but also enjoyed snorkeling and a stand-up paddleboarding experience. On our way back to the port, we had a lovely cruise over the beautiful sea. In just these three hours, we were able to have such amazing experiences, and my whole family was very satisfied. The macadamia-flavored coffee and spam rice balls we enjoyed on the boat were also very delicious! This trip was a celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to Yuka and all the staff, we created wonderful memories.
Thank you so much!

綺麗すぎるブルーの海に感動しました！
港に集合してから解散まで3時間ほどでしたが、サンドバーを見られるだけでなく、シュノーケリングやSAP体験、そして港に戻る時には綺麗な海の上を案内していただきクルージングも楽しめました。この3時間という時間の中でこれほどの体験をする事ができ、家族みんな大満足でした。船の上でごちそうになったマカダミア風味の珈琲やスパムのおむすびも大変美味しかったです！結婚30年の記念の旅行でしたが、ゆかさんはじめスタッフの皆様のおかげで素晴らしい思い出が出来ました。
本当にありがとうございました！

「ロック・ア・フラ」ポリネシアンとロックを融合！有名キャストも楽しめるワイキキ最大のハワイアンショー＜ロイヤル・ハワイアン・ショッピングセンター内＞

The food was great, the show was great, and I had an absolutely wonderful time. 食事良し、ショー良しで、最高に楽しい時間を過ごせました

Reviewed by: やさしいママ

Previously, I had only watched the show and enjoyed it, so this time I chose the VIP course with a meal included. The buffet-style meal was abundant and delicious, leaving me very satisfied. The desserts were also plentiful, with ice cream, cake, and fruits... especially the papaya was delicious. After the meal, we moved to the show venue, and since it was the VIP course, we were able to watch from a great seat, second row from the front in the center. I was thrilled to see the Hawaiian dance, as well as performances by impersonators of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson up close. I had the most enjoyable time during my stay in Hawaii.

以前、ショーだけを観たことがあり、楽しかったので、今回は食事付きのＶＩＰコースを選びました。
ビュッフェ形式の食事で、料理の種類も豊富で美味しかったので、大満足できました。
デザートも充実していて、アイス、ケーキ、フルーツ……特にパパイヤが美味しかった。
食事のあとは、ショーの会場に移動しますが、ＶＩＰコースだったので、中央の前から2番目のよい席から観ることができました。
ハワイアンの踊り、エルビス・プレスリー、マイケル・ジャクソンのそっくりさんの本人さながらのパフォーマンスを間近に観られテンションが上がりました。
ハワイ滞在中で、最高に楽しい時間を過ごせました。

クアロア・ランチ　四輪バギー体験（2時間または3時間） 映画ロケ地と絶景の中を駆け抜ける爽快アクティビティ！1台最大6名まで乗車可能＜送迎付きプランあり＞

It was amazing!!! 最高でした！！！

Reviewed by: えりぶ

The tour participants were from many countries, and it was so popular that I wondered if a single large bus could even accommodate everyone.

Since the tour would be canceled in case of rain, I was worried about the weather, but by the time we arrived at the location, it had cleared up.

The buggy experience was conducted in English, but they played a video in Japanese explaining how to operate the buggy, so I had no worries about driving. Even if something irregular happened, they kindly and clearly explained everything in English, so there was nothing to worry about. I have always been a fan of the Jurassic series, and I was truly moved to see the setting in person. It made me think again about how amazing the Earth is and how grand nature can be... It was a buggy tour that made me feel grateful to be here. I was simply overwhelmed by the magnificent scenery and couldn't take my eyes off it.

We stopped at various points, where they provided explanations of the scenery and time for photo opportunities, which was really great. (I couldn't understand most of the English explanations, though, haha.)

It might be an exaggeration, but if you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend seeing the scenery here at least once!!

(If I could be a little selfish, I wish we could have visited more filming locations from Jurassic Park...)

ツアー参加者は各国の人大勢で、大きなバス1台でもギリ乗り切れないんじゃないかくらいの人気だった。

雨が降ると中止になるツアーの為、天候悪化も心配していたが、無事現地に到着する頃には晴れてくれた。

バギー体験はもちろん英語のやりとりだが、バギーの乗り方の説明は日本語のビデオを流してくれた為、運転等の心配は全くなく、何かイレギュラーが発生しても英語で優しく分かりやすく教えてくれたので、何も心配はいらなかった。
私は元々ジュラシックシリーズのファンで、生でその舞台を見ることができて本当に感激だった。地球はすごいな、自然は壮大だな・・・と改めて思わせてるそんなバギーツアーだった。ここに来れて良かったと心底思えた。
ただただ壮大な景色に圧倒され、ずっと見惚れていた。
ポイントごとに停車して、景色の説明や写真撮影タイムが設けられていてすごくよかった。(英語の説明はほぼ理解できなかったけど笑)

でも大袈裟かもしれないけど、ハワイに行かれるなら、是非ここの景色は一度見てみてほしい！！

(ただ少しワガママを言うのであれば、もう少し、ジェラシックパークの撮影地を巡ってほしかったなぁ・・・)

I experienced my first sunset cruise in Hawaii. The waves were calm, and I could see the cityscape of Waikiki, Diamond Head, Kahala, and even Coco Head in the distance from the sea. The Mai Tais were all-you-can-drink and delicious! Unfortunately, we couldn't see a beautiful sunset because it was cloudy, but we were lucky to see a beautiful rainbow along the way. After getting off the boat, there was a shower nearby where I could wash my feet, and I was able to go straight to dinner. I definitely want to participate again next time I go.

Reviewed by: ジャパニーズトラトラ

My wife and I participated together. First of all, the staff were very kind, and even though my English wasn't great, they managed to help me. The driving distance was much longer than I expected, and my wife and I took turns driving. Along the way, there were three locations where the staff provided detailed explanations in English, and they spoke slowly, so I was able to understand somewhat. In the last ten minutes, it started pouring rain, and we got completely soaked, but it was the best memory from our seven-night stay in Hawaii. I would like to stop by again next time I go.

妻と二人で参加しました。
先ずは、スタッフの方々がとても親切で、英語がうまく話せなくても何とか対応できました。
走行距離が思ってたよりもかなり長く妻と交代交代運転できました。
途中、３箇所でスタッフからの丁寧な説明があり、英語だったなど、ゆっくり話してくれたので、なんとなく理解できました。
最後の１０分、大雨になりずぶ濡れになりましたが、５泊７泊のハワイ在中で、一番の思い出です。
今度行く時も、また立ち寄りたいです。

Amazing! 最高！

Reviewed by: yamakawa

The Japanese guide provided commentary about Hawaii during the transfer, making it enjoyable from start to finish without any dull moments!

However, there are no breaks, so it might require some stamina...
(Of course, the guide will suggest going to the beach together if it gets too tough, and you can take a break from there.)

If you're not confident in your English or have concerns, I absolutely recommend this plan!

日本人ガイドの方が、送迎中もハワイのガイドをしてくださり、
飽きることなく、最初から最後まで楽しかったです！

ただ休憩とかはないので、体力はいるかも、、。

Reviewed by: トヨトヨ社長

I participated alone. This show is spectacular and definitely worth attending. We gathered near hotels in Waikiki and took a large bus to the Polynesian Cultural Center, which took about an hour. The meal before the show had a wide variety and was good, but I thought the portion of steak was a bit small. I reserved seats quite close to the stage, and many performers showcased traditional dances one after another, energizing the venue. The fire dance, in particular, where they weaved through flames multiple times, was moving. The show had plenty of time, and you could feel the performers' dedication. The arrangements for the return bus and the timing until departure were also precise. The price and content are very well balanced.

ひとりで参加しました　このショーは圧巻です　参加する価値大です　ワイキキ内のホテル近辺に集合し送迎の大型バスでポリネシアカルチャーセンターまで移動 約1時間くらいでしょうか　ショーの前の食事は種類も多く良かったのですが　ステーキの量は少なかった思います　ショーはかなり前の方の席を予約しました　ステージ上で多くの出演者が次々に伝統の踊りを披露し会場を盛り上げてました　特に火の中を何度もかいくぐるファイアーダンスは感動ものでした　ショーの時間も十分あり出演者の本気度が伝わってきます　帰りのバスの手配や出発までの時間も正確です　　料金と内容はとてもバランスが良いです

Very cool experience. Saw lots of fish and turtles. The view at the island was nice as well. Only thing I was not happy about was the life guard told us to remove the flippers while the tide pulling us away. Mad it pretty hard to swim to the boat.

Reviewed by: twins

This tour is undoubtedly the best must-do experience, as the title suggests!

We have experienced various tours in different countries, but this was exceptionally wonderful.

First, I want to express my gratitude to Captain Robin. I can't thank him enough. I truly feel lucky to have been on his boat!

The weather on the day was a bit cloudy, which wasn't ideal, but there were so many amazing highlights.

- From the captain and the crew, we felt a warm response and consideration, always wanting the tour participants to have a great time.

- There was attentive support from a crew member who spoke Japanese, which provided a sense of security.

- During snorkeling time, I was terrified and couldn't swim in the deep sea where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but they always offered very kind encouragement and support (I think it's good to let them know in advance if you're not a strong swimmer).

- The experience of swimming up close with sea turtles will remain a lifelong memory.

- I'm not sure if there are restrictions on the number of boats, but it wasn't crowded with boats and people like typical tourist spots, allowing us to fully enjoy nature.

- Not only were there cute and sacred sea turtles, but there were also large and beautiful fish, creating a spectacular scene. Everyone was swimming very relaxed and at ease. We even saw an eel!

I could go on about the many points that made me extremely satisfied, but overall, it was just amazing! I gave a generous tip when disembarking to express my gratitude, but my appreciation for the crew, who provided such a fun and moving experience, has not faded. Even now, after returning home, I feel like sending an additional tip! (laughs)

Next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely ride on Captain Robin's boat again! Thank you so much!!

タイトル通り、間違いなく最高の必須ツアーです！

私達はこれまでも様々な国でツアーを経験してきましたが、格別にに素晴らしい経験となりました。

まずお伝えしたいのは、キャプテンのRobinさんの素晴らしさ。彼には感謝してもしきれません。
Robinさんの船に乗ることができたのは、本当にラッキーだったと思います！

当日の天気は少し曇りで最高とはいきませんでしたが、以下のような素晴らしいポイントがたくさんありました。

・キャプテンをはじめクルーの皆さんからは、常にツアー参加者に心から楽しんでもらいたいという温かな対応や気遣いを感じられました

・日本語ができるクルーによる親身なフォローがあり、安心感があります。

・シュノーケリングタイムでは、足が全くつかない深い海では恐怖で泳げなくなってしまう私に、常に非常に優しい声がけとサポートをしてくれました（泳ぎが苦手な方は予め伝えておくと良いと思います）。

・ウミガメと間近で一緒に泳ぐことができた経験、一生思い出に残るものとなりました。

・船数の規制があるのかはわかりませんが、観光地でありがちの、あちこち船だらけ人だらけ、ということもなく、存分に自然を満喫することができます。

・可愛いく神聖なウミガメ達だけでなく、大きくてキレイな魚達もいて壮観です。みんな非常にリラックスしてゆったり泳いでいます。ウツボもみれました！

まだまだ大満足ポイントを挙げたいところですが、とにかく最高でした！
下船時に感謝の気持ちを込めて多めにチップを渡しましたが、終始楽しく感動的な経験をさせてくれたクルーの皆さんへの感謝の気持ちは未だ冷めやらずです。帰国後の今でも追加でチップを送金させてもらいたいレベルです！笑

今度ハワイに行く時も、必ずまたキャプテンのRobinさんの船に乗りにいきます！
本当にありがとうございました！！

I participated alone, and this tour is definitely worth joining. It's about a 2-hour tour, but you can see a variety of fish and turtles up close through the glass, and the time passes so quickly because the content is so rich. From the dock, you board a boat and then switch to a submarine in the middle of the sea, which was an exciting experience climbing in and out of the submarine via a ladder. I had prepared a Japanese audio guide in advance, but I was too busy observing the mysterious underwater scenery in front of me to listen. Many participants were families, and the children were delighted. You can have a great time even if you participate alone.

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

It was a very satisfying tour! ⭐️ とっても満足できるツアーでした⭐️

Reviewed by: MN

I visited Hawaii for the first time for my wedding and honeymoon. It was a very refreshing and wonderful experience.

This time, I went to the meeting place by rental car. On the day of the tour, I happened to check my email and found a message from the tour company saying, "There will be a canoe race tomorrow, and there may not be parking available. If you need a shuttle bus, please come to ○○ Hotel around 9:10 AM. If you are coming by car and the parking is full, please park at ○○ and walk over."

I noticed this at 9 AM, but fortunately, it was at the hotel next door, so I greeted my parents and hurried over. However, I received another email saying, "The shuttle is fully booked." In the end, we went by rental car (laughs).

The reason was that there were overlapping events on the weekend. I realized that I should definitely check my emails, as you never know what might happen (laughs).

During the trip, I planned to use Wi-Fi and LINE, so I had disabled the international calling feature. Perhaps they had tried to call me the day before (＾＾；).

When we arrived at the location, luckily there was one parking spot available at the boat harbor, and we were able to park the car safely.

After parking, I wasn't sure where the reception was, but when I asked a police officer at the entrance of the port in English, he kindly walked with me to show me the way, saying, "It's at the very back under the blue roof" (＾＾).

At the reception area, there were many people, and I couldn't find the check-in for my tour. While my husband and I were looking around, a woman in a blue shirt called out my name, so we were able to check in successfully (＾＾).

During the tour, important explanations were given separately to the Japanese group and the English-speaking group, with explanations provided in each language.

Regarding our belongings, the boat we boarded was divided into two levels. On the first floor, there were baskets under the seats where we could store our bags. On the second floor, we could access our items by opening the seat lids, so there was no worry about dropping anything into the sea.

While everyone was swimming, there were always one or two Japanese staff members or local staff on board to provide free drinks. It was reassuring to know they were there when we returned from the sea♪

I had some concerns about the amount of belongings and the size of our bags, but it turned out to be very reassuring. However, just in case something fell into the sea, it might be better not to take the original passport (laughs).

At the sandbar, the tide hadn't completely gone out, so there was seawater up to my knees, but the scenery was still amazing! There were staff members who were great at taking photos, and they took many pictures for us♪

From the sandbar, we could see the mountains of Kualoa, which was lovely ❤️.

The tour schedule on the website mentioned a 30-40 minute free time, but we actually had an hour, which allowed us to relax.

After practicing snorkeling and taking photos, when we returned to the boat and looked out from the second floor, we saw overseas tourists having a great time playing beach volleyball (laughs).

There was one double float, so there were couples leisurely floating around. We enjoyed sipping free drinks on the boat and had a wonderful time♡ The burgers we had on board were also incredibly delicious♫.

After that, we all moved by boat to go snorkeling. There were many small, cute fish around the coral! I was having so much fun filming in 4K on my smartphone that I could have watched them forever♡

Next, we moved to another location for turtle watching. Since we were split into two groups on the boat, when turtles were spotted on the other side, I was too lazy to move (laughs) as it felt a bit dangerous with the crowd.

But I was glad we were able to spot turtles on our side too!

When I later uploaded the videos I took, the turtles' faces were quite clear in the footage♪

The day before, we had to give up

結婚式＋新婚旅行を兼ねて、初めてハワイを訪れました。
とても新鮮で素晴らしい経験ができました


今回はレンタカーで集合場所に行きました。
当日たまたま、それとなくメールを見たら
ツアー会社からメールが来ていて

『明日カヌーのレースがあり、駐車場に空きがない可能性があります。シャトルバスの送迎が必要な場合、○○ホテルに9時10分ごろ来てください。車でおこしの場合は満車の場合、○○に止めて歩いてお越し下さい』と、ありました。


9時に気づいたのですが、幸い隣のホテルだったため
両親に挨拶して急いで向かったところ
もう一つメールが来ていて
「シャトルが予約で満席になってしまいました」とあり
結局、レンタカーで向かいました（笑）


理由は土日でイベントが重なってしまったからでした。
何かあるか分からないので
ちゃんとメールは見るべきだなと思いました（笑

今回、旅行中は全てWi−Fi利用、LINE利用のつもりでいたので
国際通話の機能を無効化していました。
もしかしたら、前日に電話をくれていたのかも(＾＾；)


現地に向かうと、幸いボートハーバーで1つ空きがあり
無事に車も止める事ができました♩


駐車した後、どこが受付かわからなかったのですが
港の入口にいた警察官に英語で聞いたところ
「一番奥の青い屋根のところだよ」と
見えるところまで一緒に歩いて教えてくれました（＾＾）



受付場所には色んな人たちがいて
自分の参加するツアーの受付が分からず
主人と見渡していると
青いシャツを着た女性が名前を呼んでくれたので
無事に受付する事ができました（＾＾）


ツアー中、大事な説明が入る時は
日本人グループと、英語を話す人グループに分けられ
それぞれの言語で説明をしてくれました。


また荷物に関してですが
私たちが乗った船は１階と２階に分かれていて

１階は座席の下にカゴが置いてあったので
荷物はそこに置いておく事ができました。

2階は、座席の蓋を開けての出し入れだったので
海に物が落ちる心配もありませんでした。


みんなで泳ぎに出てる時なんかは
フリードリンクがいつでも提供できるように
日本人スタッフ、現地スタッフの人たち誰か1、2人が
必ず船内にいてくれました。
海から戻ると安心感もありました♪

持ち物の量やカバンの大きさ、置き場所に不安はありましたが
とっても安心しました。
でも万が一　海に落とすと怖いので
パスポート原本は持って行かない方がいいかも（笑）


サンドバーは
潮が完全に引いておらず膝下まで海水はありましたが
それでも素晴らしい景色でした！
写真を撮るのが上手なスタッフさんもいて
たくさん写真を撮っていただきました♪

サンドバーからはクアロアの山々も見えて
素敵でした❤️


サイト申込時のツアースケジュールには
30−40分のフリーとありましたが
私たちの時は1時間もあって、ゆっくり過ごす事ができました。

シュノーケリングの練習をしたり、写真を撮ったりしたあと
船内に戻り2階から景色を見ていると
海外観光客の方たちはとっても楽しそうに
ビーチバレーをしていらっしゃいましたw

1つだけ2人乗りの浮き輪があったので
ゆったり浮かんでるカップルもいました。

船内でゆっくりフリードリンクを飲んだり
素敵な時間を過ごせたとおもます♡
船上で食べるバーガーもめっちゃ美味しかったです♫


その後はみんなで船で移動して
シュノーケリングをしました。

サンゴの周りには
小さくて可愛らしいお魚が沢山いました！
スマホの4Kで撮ってて楽しくて
いつまででも見ていられそうでした♡


その後はタートルウォッチングのために
また場所を移動しました。
船内で二手に分かれていたので
反対側で見つかった時は
移動が面倒臭くて動きませんでしたw
（人も偏ってて危ない気もしましたし）

でも自分たちが居たサイドでも
無事に見つけられて良かったです！

撮った動画を後でアップしてみると
かなりハッキリと顔が見えていました♪


前日にスコールに当たり
海亀がいるビーチに行くのを断念していたので
無事見れて満足です✨✨✨


港に戻る時も海亀見れて嬉しかった♡

帰りに船の中で
色んな映画の撮影現場である事も教えてもらいました♪


結構　濃密な経験ができた日だったと思います♡

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＞

If you want to see sea turtles, this tour is for you! ウミガメを見たいならこのツアー！

Reviewed by: Piyons

There are explanations in both English and Japanese, so even those who are not good at English can feel at ease. The free bus shuttle service also adds to the value.

(The departure times may vary depending on the season) but the first departure is early in the morning, and the tour returns just before noon, allowing you to make effective use of your time! (You won't just end up with a one-day tour.)

On the boat, drinks, chips, rice balls, and warm coffee and tea are provided, so even if you get cold, you can warm up comfortably.

I think we snorkeled for about an hour, and I was able to see sea turtles around five times. Not only could we view them from the boat, but we also got to see them up close while snorkeling. There were multiple instructors to support us during snorkeling, so even those who can't swim can feel secure. Additionally, there was someone who got stung by a jellyfish during the tour, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the instructors coordinated and provided treatment.

英語、日本語の両方で説明があるので、英語が苦手な方でも安心。
無料のバス送迎があるのもお得感があります。

（時期にもより出発時間が異なりますが）1便の方は朝早く、ツアーが終わって戻ってくるのがお昼前なので、時間を有効に使えます！（1日ツアーで終わってしまう、ということはありません。）

船にはドリンク、チップス、スパむすび、あったかいコーヒーや紅茶も用意されているので体が冷えてもほっこり温まることができます。

シュノーケリングは約1時間くらいしたと思いますが、ウミガメが5回くらい見ることができました。
船の上から眺めるだけでなく、シュノーケリングで目の前で見ることができました。
インストラクターが複数名ついてシュノーケリングをフォローしてくれるので、泳げない方でも安心です。
また、ツアー時にクラゲに刺されてしまった方がいましたが、インストラクターの方の連携、処置が早く良い意味でびっくりしました。

Waikiki Luau with All-You-Can-Eat Buffet Dinner, Fire Dance & Rock-A-Hula Show

Great Time, Great Show!

Reviewed by: Star

Good time overall! We enjoyed the dinner and show package.
Upon arrival we assumed we would be provided with the traditional lais (flower garlands) so didn't bring/wear our own, but we were told that is an additional cost...a little disappointed to come to a luau type event and not see everyone in hawaiian lais/ flowers.

The welcome drink provided was nice and there were a variety of food options available at the buffet.
We enjoyed the dancing and show during dinner... it made it more personable.
It would be great if there was more spacing at the table between guests (you're seated at a large rectangular table with other attendees) and if glasses were provided for bottles ordered (we received disposable plastic cups with the champagne we ordered)
The theatre show was overall great. It was nice to see music through time.
Wonderful singers, especially the host Chardonnay. The Chief fire dance was definitely my favorite part of the evening. You can see the work that goes into this production...it was a highlight of our trip and provided us with great memories for our hawaiian vacation! Mahalo!

クアロア・ランチ　四輪バギー体験（2時間または3時間） 映画ロケ地と絶景の中を駆け抜ける爽快アクティビティ！1台最大6名まで乗車可能＜送迎付きプランあり＞

Dusty memories are also good memories. ホコリ塗れも良い思い出

Reviewed by: やぶし

I didn't expect to get covered in an incredible amount of dust while riding the four-wheeler, but it turned out to be a great memory. It was fun to explore the beautiful views at Kualoa Ranch. I was a bit disappointed that there was only an English guide available.

四輪バギーで、半端ない程のホコリ塗れになるとは思ってもおりませんでしたが、それはそれで良い思い出になりました。
クアロアランチの景色の良い所を回るので、楽しかったです。
英語ガイドしかなかったのが、ちょっと残念でした。

クアロア・ランチ　カネオヘ湾カタマランクルーズ・オーシャンボヤージ＆古代養魚池（フィッシュポンド）巡りツアー＜90分＞

I was able to see sea turtles. ウミガメにも会えました

Reviewed by: hisaox

I was worried because it was drizzling lightly, but as we headed out to Kaneohe Bay, the weather cleared up, and it turned into a refreshing cruise. There was a sudden change with some intense ups and downs along the way, but it felt like a bit of a show. The only disappointment was that there were large clouds hanging over the mountains, which prevented us from seeing the full view of Kualoa Ranch.

小雨がパラパラとしていて心配しましたが、カネオヘ湾へ出ていくと晴れてきて、爽快なクルーズでした。途中で急にアップダウンが激しい状況になりましたが、ちょっとした演出のようでした。山側には大きな雲が垂れ込んでいて、クアロアランチ全景を眺めることが出来なかったのが唯一残念です。

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

Must do

Reviewed by: Sand O

An exciting adventure for all ages, lots of different activities and skill levels. I was happy to walk on the sand bar and relax on the floating platform while my young adult company enjoyed kayaking, volleyball, SUP and snorkeling. The crew was fantastic and even off the boat you could still enjoy the live music/tunes. Bring your own snacks so you won’t be hungry or buy from the mini store on the dock. We bought a bunch of breakfast items and they were delicious. I would absolutely book this again on our next visit… MAHALO

Waikiki to North Shore Haleiwa Shuttle - Round Trip Shared Ride Service with Free Time to Explore

Poor, better go in public bus or Uber

Reviewed by: Ignacio

We got no value but a bus greeting us to the town, you can do it in every other way and cheaper, including 3usd public bus. It even doesn't get you to the beach, so you will have to take de public bus to get to the beach either way
