The transportation and everything else was taken care of perfectly. It's reassuring that there is always someone who can speak Japanese, and there were plenty of turtles to see, so it felt like we had a turtle tour as well. 🤣
Meals and drinks were included, and there were plenty of activities besides snorkeling, which was great. On the bus ride there, they provided explanations of the tourist spots (in English, but it's simple enough to understand), so I think it's a good idea to go on the first day. ☺︎
送迎から何から何まで至れり尽くせりでした。必ず日本語が話せる人がいるので安心ですし、亀もたくさんみれるので亀ツアーもしたようなもの🤣

The water was about waist-deep, but it was beautiful. It was great to see both sleeping and swimming sea turtles while snorkeling around the coral reefs. On the boat, there were spam rice balls, snacks, coffee, miso soup, and soft drinks, which were a nice treat for my tired body.
腰くらいまで水がありましたが、綺麗でした。シュノーケルでは、珊瑚礁で寝ている海ガメも、泳いでる海ガメもみれてよかったです。

For individuals, first, obtaining tickets is difficult. I tried twice at 7 AM when the online application opened, but there were many input fields, and within 10 minutes, it was sold out. I found this tour, which includes transportation and a snorkeling set, and signed up. The $25 entrance fee is not included, but if the tour is available, you can enter Hanauma Bay, so I recommend it. Previously, The Bus used to go close by, but it has now been discontinued, so you would need to rent a car or take a taxi, which means quite a bit of walking. This tour, which takes you to the entrance, is highly recommended. Even with broken English, it was fine.
個人で行くには、まず、チケット入手が難しく、朝7時のネット申し込みと同時に2回トライしたが、入力項目も多く、10分も経たずにsold out。
こちらのツアーを見つけ、送迎つき、シュノーケルセットつきで、申し込んだ。$25の入場料は含まれていないが、ツアーが空いていればハナウマベイにて入場できるので、おすすめ。
以前はザ・バスも近くまで通っていたが、今は廃止となり、レンタカーかタクシーで行かねば、かなり歩くことになるのて、入場口まで連れて行ってくれるこのツアーはおすすめです。
片言の英語でも、大丈夫でした。
If you have a sunshade, you can spend time comfortably even in strong sunlight. It would be good to have water shoes as well.

Unfortunately, my older child had a fever, and since the cancellation would result in a full charge, I attended with my younger child, who is in first grade. (I reluctantly gave up the fee for the absent child.) However, I am grateful for the courteous response from the office, which offered to change the date.
I also added bus transportation, but since the meeting point is quite far, I think it would be better for those staying around Waikiki who haven't decided on transportation options to include it. The bus driver was a cheerful and kind Japanese woman!
Regarding the activity, I changed the date and participated in the afternoon, and while I was aware of it, the tide was high that day. When we arrived, the sandbar was gone, and the water was too deep for adults to stand, which scared my younger child, who clung to me and struggled. It was difficult to swim even the short distance of about 10 meters to the floating island where we could canoe, and I thought we might drown. My child, who had become completely intimidated during the move, was also scared of the canoe, and in the end, we managed to return to the boat and spent the entire time on board, which was disappointing.
While I understand this is a matter of personal responsibility, I think it would have been nice if they had differentiated the price a bit, such as lowering it during high tide, to avoid any frustration.
However, other families were enjoying snorkeling, riding banana boats, and seemed to be having a great time. They had plenty of time, and I believe those who are mainly considering activities other than the sandbar would really enjoy it.
What impressed me was the live music performance on the boat; it was pleasant to listen to music while feeling the breeze.
On that day, participants included people from Japan, as well as from China, South Korea, and the mainland United States. The crew consisted of one Japanese person and local staff.
あいにく上の子が熱を出し、キャンセルは全額になるため小1の下の子と2人で参加してきました。(不参加分のお代は泣く泣く諦めました)
ただ日時をずらしてくださるなど、事務所の方は丁寧に対応していただき感謝です。
バス送迎もつけましたが、集合場所までかなり遠いのでワイキキ周辺にお泊りの方はレンタカーなど移動手段が決まっていない方はつけた方がよろしいかと思います。
バスの運転手さんは日本人の女性で明るくて優しい方でした!
アクティビティですが、日時を変更し午後参加になり、分かっては居ましたがその日の午後は満潮。
着いたらサンドバーは無く大人も足がつかない深さで下の子はとても怖がりしがみつき暴れるので、カヌーが出来る浮島まで移動する間の10M位だけでも泳ぐのが困難で溺れるかと思いました。移動ですっかり萎縮した子供はカヌーも怖がり、結局なんとか必死に船上に戻ってずっと船の上で過ごすことになったのは残念でした。
今回のことは自己責任ではありますが、せめて満潮時は値段を下げていただくなど少し差別化をして貰えたらモヤモヤもなかったかなと思います。
ただ他のご家族はシュノーケリングを楽しんでいたり、バナナボートをしたり、各々楽しそうで、時間もたっぷりあり、サンドバー以外のアクティビティをメインに考えていらっしゃる方にはとても楽しめると思います。
感動したのは船上のライブ演奏で、ゆったり音楽を聞きながら風を感じるのは心地よかったです。
その日の参加は、日本の他、中国、韓国、アメリカ本土からの方が参加されていました。クルーの皆さんは日本人の方1名と、現地の方がいらっしゃいました。
If you're considering going, I think it's a good idea to check the tide calendar and other information.
これからご検討の方は満潮カレンダーなどチェックして行くのが良いかと思います。

I really appreciated the crew and the way they treated us! The day was beautiful - a little overcast, but so beautiful as it always is at the sandbar. The sun came through and allowed us to be dazzled by the colors of the ocean. We saw lots of fish on our snorkel segment, and the majority of the boat played a fun game of volleyball in the water. The food was good, and the boat was spacious enough to allow everyone to see the turtles and to gaze at the beauty of the landscape as we moved through the water. I was lucky to be able to spend this memorable day with my cousin visiting from out of town. This was perfect for one of our big activities! We will never forget this fun experience!
Remember the sunscreen and the sea sickness medication if you get nauseous on boats. :)

The weather was slightly cloudy, but fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles! There were also many other fish, making it quite a sight.
There were about 10 participants on the tour that day, but I've heard that on some days, it can be close to 30 people. The morning time also had high visibility, making it easy to see.
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, there were other tour groups, so it was quite crowded. They likely color-coded the participants with life jackets, so I don't think anyone would get lost.
The boat was rocking, but after entering the water, the waves were quite strong, and some of my companions and other tour participants returned to the boat to lie down. The seawater was very salty, making me thirsty. You might feel a bit nauseous, so please manage that with food or medication. Soft drinks and snacks seemed to be free.
After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The breeze was pleasant, and I'm glad I participated!

The ocean in Waikiki is beautiful, but this place is on another level! It was a clear emerald green. We did bumper tubing, banana boating, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). We stayed in the water the whole time without returning to the boat. The bumper tubing we did right after arriving was quite challenging, especially for families with kids. It was thrilling! The time felt long enough that I thought we should go back, but I was completely satisfied. We went banana boating with four people. It wasn't as difficult as the bumper tubing, but you could really feel the sea breeze—definitely a classic ocean activity! For snorkeling, you can use your own gear or rent some. We fed the fish and filmed the ocean with a GoPro. The SUP had an instructor, so it was reassuring to know that if you fell, you’d just land in the water! It was a fantastic time enjoying the ocean in Hawaii.
ワイキキの海も綺麗ですが、ここは別格!透き通ったエメラルドグリーンでした。バンパーチューブ、バナナボート、シュノーケリング、サップをやりました。一度も船に戻らず、ずっと海に。着いてすぐにやったバンパーチューブは難易度高め?お子さんを乗せているご家族も。スリル満点!もう戻ってーと思うほど時間も長くて大満足。バナナボートは4人で乗りました。バンパーチューブほどは難易度は高くないですが、潮風を感じられてザ・海のアクティビティ!シュノーケリングは自分のものでも、貸し出しを使用してもOK。えさをもらってゴープロで海を撮影しました。サップはインストラクターもいて、落ちても海なので安心!ハワイの海を大満喫できた時間でした。

It was a mixed taxi, but the air conditioning was extremely strong, so even someone like me who gets hot easily was shivering, so I think a jacket is essential.

This was my first experience snorkeling abroad, so I felt very reassured by having a Japanese guide. Unlike regular beaches, Hanauma Bay offers a unique experience with entry restrictions and mandatory viewing of an educational video upon entry. I encountered sea turtles three times, and I was able to take great photos and videos with the rented camera. The fish in the coral reefs were large and impressive. Although the actual snorkeling lasted about an hour, I think it was just the right amount of exertion for us in our mid-fifties. It was truly enjoyable! Since it was November, I followed the guide's advice and wore a wetsuit, so I didn't feel cold at all. Additionally, I was advised to take motion sickness medication beforehand, which helped me avoid feeling unwell even when the waves were high. I really appreciated the guide's helpful advice.
海外でのシュノーケリングは初体験だったので、日本語ガイド付きという点でとても安心でした。また、普通のビーチと違い、入場制限や入場時の啓発ビデオ視聴が義務付けられているハナウマ湾ならではの体験ができました。ウミガメとの遭遇も3回もあり、レンタルしたカメラでもいい写真や動画を撮ることができました。また、サンゴ礁の魚たちはサイズが大きくて、見ごたえがありました。シュノーケリング自体は正味1時間ですが、50代半ばの私たちにとってはちょうどいい負荷だったと思います。本当に楽しかったです!11月ということで、ガイドさんのアドバイスにしたがいウエットスーツを着用したので寒さも感じませんでしたし、事前に酔い止めを勧められて服用していたので、波が高くても気分が悪くなることもありませんでした。ガイドさんの適切なアドバイスがとてもありがたかったです。

ツアー代金は事前の振り込みですが、当日ガイドさんにお支払いする入場料、レンタル機材代、チップ、などは現金をご用意ください。クレジットカードだと端末がなくて決済ができない場合があります。
Thank you very much for joining the tour. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! It’s not often that you get the chance to see sea turtles three times, so that was great too. If you ever come back to Hawaii, please consider joining the tour again. I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you so much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しくださり、ありがとうございました。とても楽しんでいただけたようで、私もとても嬉しいです!ウミガメに3回も会えるチャンスは滅多に無いですからそれもまた良かったですね。またハワイに来ることがありましたら、是非ツアーにリピートしてくださいね。またお会いできるのをお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo‼︎

The hotel pickup was on time. A friendly driver took us to the location while providing sightseeing information. The weather at Hanauma Bay was perfect. Since the number of visitors is limited, we were able to enjoy snorkeling in a spacious and relaxed environment. The return pickup time was also accurate, allowing us to spend our time efficiently and as planned.
ホテルのピックアップは予定時間通り。フレンドリーなドライバーが観光案内をしながら現地まで送ってくれました。ハナウマ湾の天気は最高でした。
入場者数が制限されているので、ゆったりとしたスペースでシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。
帰りのお迎え時間も正確で、無駄なく予定通りの時間を過ごすことができました。

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.
思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。
I thought it would be good to check the tidal conditions for the time on the day I want to participate.
参加したい日の時間の潮の状況を確認してみたらいいと思いました、
Dear Yuzu,
Thank you for participating in the sandbar tour with KBOS. I'm glad to hear that your family enjoyed the experience. We will consider your feedback about the possibility of changing the donuts to malasadas for future tours.
I am sending you a link with information about the tides. I hope you find it helpful.

Pretty place to go to once maybe twice, tide was up. So you basically are floating or walking on ocean floor

I missed the shuttle bus due to my own oversight, but thanks to the kind guidance of the staff, I was able to meet up at the location by taxi and enjoy a wonderful cruise. (My family was booing me along the way) 😡😡

It was high tide, so we couldn't see the beautiful sandbar, but we were able to enjoy the stunning sea! On the boat, they sang songs and served donuts and drinks, so we never got bored. For activities other than kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, we could swim without life jackets.
満潮の時だったので綺麗なサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、十分に綺麗な海を見ることができました!
船の中では歌を歌ってくれたりドーナツやドリンクもサービスされ、退屈することなく過ごせました。
カヤックやSUP以外のアクティビティであればライフジャケットはなしで泳ぐことができました。
The sea was shallow, so I couldn't dive.
海が浅いので潜ったりすることはできませんでした。
Aloha Masu,
Thank you for participating in the KBOS Sandbar Tour. We also appreciate your 4-star review along with the beautiful photos. Our tour allows you to experience multiple activities in one trip, which has been very well received. Please understand that the sandbar is wide, and the depth changes with the tides.
We look forward to welcoming you back again.
Mahalo,

きれいなお写真と共に4スターのレビューもありがとうございます。
一度のツアーで複数のアクティビティを体験していただけるツアーなので、大変喜ばれています。
サンドバーは広く、潮の満ち引きによって深さが変わってきますので、ご理解をいただけますようお願いいたします。
またのご参加をスタッフ一同お待ちいたしております。

For the Kailua Beach tour, I was advised to go to Lanikai first, and I followed that suggestion. It's about a 2-mile walk from the shop to Lanikai. Walking in the blazing sun with kids was tough. I planned to go to Lanikai in the morning and Kailua in the afternoon, but I barely managed to return from Lanikai and grab lunch.
However, Lanikai's beach was as beautiful as I saw on TV. The natural beach, different from Waikiki, was amazing. Next time, I want to try sea kayaking with my kids.
I will definitely go again!
カイルアビーチのツアーですが、ラニカイに先に行くことを勧められ、その通りに。ショップからラニカイまで片道2マイル位。炎天下を歩くのは、こどもを連れて歩くのは厳しかったです。午前ラニカイ→午後カイルアと予定しましたが、ラニカイから戻ってランチを貰うことで精いっぱい。
でも、ラニカイはテレビで見た通りに砂浜が綺麗。ワイキキとは違う天然ビーチは最高でした。今度は子供と一緒にシーカヤックにも挑戦したい、です。
また行きます‼
Adults can easily reach Lanikai by renting a bicycle. I recommend bicycle rentals.
大人の方は自転車を借りたりするとラニカイまですぐ、です。自転車レンタルお薦め。
Dear K,
Thank you for participating in our tour and for taking the time to write a review. Visiting Lanikai with children can be a bit challenging, but we are glad you made it and were able to see the beautiful beach. Yes! We definitely encourage you to try the kayaking experience next time. We sincerely look forward to your next visit. Thank you very much.

そうですね!是非とも次回はカヤック体験をされてみてください。
