I participated on August 23 when a typhoon was approaching Oahu. I woke up several times during the night, thinking I might receive an email saying the event would be canceled. However, it was confirmed that the event would go ahead, and I decided to participate, knowing that if I canceled on the day, the nearly 90,000 yen for seven people would not be refunded.
Since the sun wasn't out, the sea wasn't beautiful, and both the water and air temperatures were low, everyone was feeling cold. I also participated in snorkeling, but due to the typhoon's effects, I felt scared as I was almost swept away.
After returning, I contacted a company that specializes in sandbar cruises, and they informed me that the Public Safety Bureau had issued a warning, stating that boats should not go out. They mentioned that other companies likely weren't operating either. They said that just rain wouldn't lead to cancellations, but since a hurricane was approaching, that was the reason for the cancellation. I wonder if it was really a good decision to go ahead with the event.
Given the circumstances, I'm relieved that nothing happened. By the way, I heard that those who canceled on the day received a full refund. I regret participating just to avoid losing the 90,000 yen.
オアフに台風が近づいている8月23日に参加しました。中止に当然なるのではとメールが来るかもしれないと何度も夜中に目が覚めました。しかしながら催行するとのこと、7人分の9万近いお金が当日こちらがキャンセルすれば返ってこないと参加しました。
太陽が出ていないので海も綺麗でなく、水温も気温も低くて皆さん寒がっていました。シュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、台風の影響で流されそうになり怖い思いをしました。
帰ってからサンドバー専門のクルーザーの会社に問い合わせたところ、公安局から危険と指示があったので船は出てはいけないということで他の催行会社も全て出ていないだろう、ただの雨ではキャンセルにならないけどハリケーンが近づいていたからいう回答を得ました。催行して良かったのでしょうか。
そんな中でしたので何事もなくてよかったと思います。ちなみに当日キャンセルの方には全額返金したそうです。9万を惜しんで参加しなければ良かったです。

Heavenly Ocean was amazing! It was my first time participating on my 10th trip to Hawaii! I always thought about going, but I hesitated because it seemed boring if the sandbar wasn't out. Finally, I decided to give it a try! I wish I had gone from the start! In the end, the sandbar wasn't out, but the ocean was incredibly beautiful, something I had never seen before... it was wonderful.
To get to Heavenly Ocean, we drove about an hour from Waikiki along mountain roads. Since I tend to get motion sickness in cars and boats, I took some anti-nausea medication before going, so I was totally fine. After that, we boarded the boat to Heavenly Ocean... Within 30 minutes, we could see the sandbar, and there was clearly a different zone with a distinct color and feel to the water!
At Heavenly Ocean, there was about waist-deep water, possibly due to the hurricane that had come the day before, but it was incredibly beautiful and enjoyable! We practiced snorkeling, played beach volleyball, and had fun with a diverse group of people. Couples were taught how to take lovely photos, and they took many beautiful pictures. We were just so impressed by the stunning ocean!
I've been to various oceans before, but I truly felt that it lived up to its name, Heavenly Ocean! While we were playing, the crew grilled meat on a barbecue. I had some concerns about the quality of the meat since it was labeled BBQ, but what we got was a hamburger! We made our own sandwiches with the meat, cheese, and vegetables... there were also beans and chips, and it was delicious.
After that, we went to a spot where we could see turtles. It was very close by, and the sea turtles popped their heads up! Then, we went snorkeling around the coral reef!!! There were colorful fish all around the coral. I was able to see even more colorful fish than when I went diving in Hawaii, and since it was snorkeling, it was easy to participate, which was great!
The Japanese guide was very friendly and kind to everyone, which was really nice!
Actually, I had booked this tour on the day of the hurricane, and it was scheduled to go until the last minute, but at the last moment, it was canceled, and they helped me rebook. Since it's an American company, I guess there are cancellation fees and various things to consider? I think it's better to hold out until the last minute. I learned that the cancellation was due to the rough sea around the coral reef, which made it impossible to see anything! This means it might have been possible to go, so if there are cancellation fees, it might be worth waiting until the last minute. They said that if it was really impossible, they would contact me to cancel and refund my money.
In any case, I was very satisfied to have participated for the first time! I will definitely join again the next time I come to Hawaii!
天国の海最高でした!10回目のハワイ旅行にして初参加でした!
いつも行ってみたいと思いながら、サンドバーが出てないとつまらなそうと、やめていたけど、ついに行ってみることにしました!
最初から行けば良かった!って思いました!
結果的にサンドバーは出てなかったけど、海が初めて見る綺麗さで、、、素晴らしかったです。
天国の海までは、ワイキキから車で1時間くらい山道を走りました。私は元々車や船に酔いやすいので、酔い止めを飲んで行きました。なので全然平気でした。その後、船に乗って天国の海へ、、、。
船は30分も乗らないうちにサンドバーが見えてきて、そこだけあきらかに色も海の感じも違うゾーンが現れました!
天国の海では、前日にハリケーンが来ていた影響もあったのか、腰くらいまで水がありましたが、めっちゃくちゃ綺麗で楽しめました!
次に待っているシュノーケルの練習をしたり、ビーチバレーをしたり、国際色豊かなメンバーで楽しんだり、カップルはステキな写真の撮り方を教えてもらって、綺麗な写真を沢山撮ってました。
私たちは綺麗な海にひたすら感激!
今まで色んな海に行って来ましたが、やはり天国の海というだけあると実感!
そして、天国の海で私たちが遊んでいる間にクルーがバーベキューグリルでお肉を焼いてくれました。
BBQと書いてあったので、お肉の美味しくないのだったらやだなぁなんて内心思ってたのですが、出来上がったのは、ハンバーガー!
自分でパンにお肉とチーズと野菜を挟んで、、、ビーンズとチップスもあって、美味しくいただきました。
その後は、亀が見えるスポットへ。すぐ近くにあって、ウミガメさんがひょこひょこ顔を出してくれました。
そして、サンゴ礁の周りをシュノーケリング !!!
サンゴ礁の周りに色とりどりの魚がいました。
ダイビングでハワイの海に潜った時よりも色とりどりの魚が沢山見ることができて、シュノーケルだったので、簡単に参加できて良かったです!
案内の日本人の方もすごくフレンドリーで誰に対しても優しく、とっても良かったです!
実は、このツアーハリケーンの日に予約していて、ギリギリまで催行予定だったのですが、ギリギリにNGが出て、予約を取り直してもらいました。アメリカの会社なので、キャンセル料とか色々あるんでしょうね?ギリギリまで粘った方がいいかと思います。NGになったのは、サンゴ礁のところが海が荒れて何も見えなくなったからとツアーに参加して教えてもらいました!ということは、出来なくもなかったということかと思いますので、キャンセル料がかかるときはギリギリまで粘っていいかと思います。本当に無理だとキャンセルの連絡が来て、お金も返金してくれるとのことでしたから。
いずれにしても、初参加出来て大満足です!
また、次回ハワイに来るときはまた参加させていただきます!

Despite the heavy rain and calm sea without wind, we proceeded with the tour as planned. We arrived at the sandbar! Although it was cold and we were shivering, we decided to get into the water, but we couldn't stay in for more than five minutes before getting back on the boat. We ended up eating sandwiches in the leaking cabin. Some people went snorkeling, but they said it was too murky to see anything. Well, that makes sense! It was pointless to even go in.
When we finally thought we could go home, the pickup bus didn't arrive, and we had to wait for an hour in an empty parking lot. It was cold, but at least it didn't rain while we were waiting for the bus, which was a small relief.
In summary, while bad weather might be a matter of luck, I thought it was terrible that the tour continued just for the sake of money despite the conditions. Also, the waiting time for the bus felt like pure torture.
If I go again, I hope it will be when there isn't a hurricane!
大雨の中風がなく海は穏やかなので〜と言うことでそのままツアーします
との事でサンドバーまで行き到着!
雨と寒さでブルブル震えるなかせっかくなので
海に入りましたが5分と入ってられず船にあがり、雨漏りする船内でサンドイッチを食べました。シュノーケリングに出かけた方もいましたが濁っていて何も見えないと
そりゃ〜そうでしょう‼︎ 入るだけ無駄ですよ
無事に戻りやっと帰れると思ったら
迎えのバスが来ない、何もない駐車場に1時間も待たされました
寒かったけどバスの待ちは雨が降らなかった事が救いでした
感想 天候が悪いのは運なのかもしれませんが こんな状態でお金のためだけにツアーを中止にせず行うのは酷いなぁと思いました
また、バスの待ち時間は地獄そのものでした
次回もし行くならハリケーンが来ていない時にしたいものです

In April, I participated with my mother. The participants varied widely, including newlywed couples, families with small children, elderly couples, and adult groups.
In the morning, we were picked up next to DFS. We were staying very close to the Sheraton, but it was unfortunate that the Sheraton bus stop could not pick up non-guests.
On the day of the tour, it was sunny to slightly rainy in Waikiki, but it was pouring rain and gray skies at the location. Therefore, we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures at all. However, I thought the tour itself was packed with activities.
1. Everyone walked to the sandbar.
2. Snorkeling was available for those who wanted to participate (snorkel sets and floatation devices were provided for free).
3. Lunch (those who didn't go snorkeling ate first, but the portion was sufficient).
4. Motorboat and SUP were available for those who wanted to try (free).
It's really regrettable about the bad weather. Even in poor weather, we were able to see turtles while snorkeling, and there were reasonably clear waters and colorful fish to enjoy. It was a rocky area where you couldn't touch the bottom, but we could borrow floatation devices, and there were quite a few fish. The lunch was quite varied for being on a boat, and the bone-in meat was particularly delicious.
The staff were kind and entertaining, but there were many items for sale that they recommended, so be cautious. On the other hand, you can buy quite a few things on the boat. If necessary, I recommend bringing marine shoes, rash guards, and an underwater camera (waterproof cover for smartphones) in advance. It's either barefoot or marine shoes on the boat.
The satisfaction level of the tour seems to depend a lot on the weather. Even with the pouring rain, I was somewhat satisfied with the price, so I can imagine I would have been very satisfied if it had been sunny. However, someone who participated on the same day mentioned it was their third time joining, and it had rained every time (laughs).
4月に母と二人で参加。新婚旅行風カップル、小さい子連れファミリー、老年夫婦、大人グループなど参加者層は幅広かったです。
朝はDFS横でピックアップ。シェラトンすぐ近くに宿泊でしたが、シェラトンバス停は宿泊者以外のピックアップができなかったのが残念。
当日はワイキキは晴~小雨。現地はザーザー降り&灰色空。よって、写真みたいな景色は全然見れませんでした。。
でも、ツアー自体は盛りだくさんで良かったと思います。
1、全員で歩いてサンドバー
2、希望者のみシュノーケリング(シュノーケルセット・浮具貸出無料)
3、ランチ(シュノーケル行かなかった人が先に食べてるけど量は十分)
4、希望者のみ、モーターボート・SUP(無料)
ほんとに悪天候が悔やまれます。
悪天候でもシュノーケル中はカメが見れたり、それなりに透明な海やそれなりにカラフルな魚が見れたりして楽しめました。足が付かない岩場でしたが浮具も借りれたし、魚の数も結構いました。ランチも船内にしては種類豊富で、特に骨付き肉が美味しかったです。
スタッフさんは親切で面白いけど、勧められる販売品も多いので注意かな。逆に結構色々船内でも買えます。必要ならば、あらかじめマリンシューズ・ラッシュガード・水中カメラ(スマホ防水カバー)などを持っていくのがおすすめ。船内は裸足かマリンシューズです。
天候でかなり満足度が変わりそうなツアー。ザーザーでもこの値段でもまあ満足なので、晴れてたら大満足なんだろうな。ただ、同じ日に参加した人は3度目の参加だそうで、全部雨だとか(笑)

The timing of the tides didn't align, so the sandbar didn't appear, and we were left with shallow waters about waist-deep.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot over ten turtles, which was a lot of fun!
The staff were bright and kind.
The area around the sandbar tends to get more rain and the temperatures are lower compared to Waikiki, so it felt a bit chilly.
I'm glad I went, but since we were at the edge of the sandbar, next time I would like to choose a tour company that can take us to the central area.
潮の満ち引きのタイミングが合わず、サンドバーは出現せず、腰の高さくらいの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメウォッチングでは、10匹以上見つけることができて楽しかったです♪
スタッフの皆さんは、明るく優しい方達でした♪
サンドバー周辺の地域は雨が降りやすく気温もワイキキに比べると低めなので、少し肌寒い印象でした。
行って良かったですが、サンドバーの端っこのエリアだったので、次回は中心のエリアに行ける催行会社を選んでみたいと思います☆

The pier is near to the sandbar, it won't take too much time to sailing to there. With clean water and beautiful sandbar scenic, we had a very great time there! During lunch time, with awesome hawaii burger, and enjoy the music singing by the crew, it's the biggest pleasure. Seeing so many green sea turtles is an unforgettable experience, snorkeling around the reef also fun.

This tour is more of a picnic on a boat off the coast of Oahu rather than a dolphin-watching tour, so in that sense, it offers entertainment and could be enjoyable for those who are not used to being on the water. If you go in with the mindset that seeing dolphins would be a lucky bonus, you won't be disappointed. It was completely different from the dolphin tours on the Big Island. The staff followed the company's concept of providing entertainment, but at times their individuality came through, which I found a bit immature.
イルカを見るツアーというよりはオアフ島沖を船でピクニックするツアーで、そういう意味ではエンターテイメントもあり海に慣れていない人にとっては楽しいのではないでしょうか。
イルカは見れたらラッキーくらいのつもりでないとがっかりします。
ハワイ島のイルカツアーとは全く別物でした。
スタッフは楽しませようという会社のコンセプトにのっとってそれなりに業務されていましたが所々に個が出ていて幼稚だなぁと思いました。
Thank you for your valuable feedback. I will share your comments with the staff. Additionally, on the west side of Oahu, the encounter rate with dolphins is about 95%, but the situation with the dolphins varies daily. They may swim away quickly or play around for a long time, which can affect the time available for swimming. Since we are dealing with wild dolphins, I appreciate your understanding.
貴重な書き込みありがとうございます。こちらの書き込みはスタッフとシェアさせていただきます。また、オアフ島ウエストサイドでは、イルカの遭遇率は95%ほどですが、毎日イルカの状況が違います。早く泳ぎ去ってしまうこともありますし、長い間回遊して遊んでいることもあり、泳げる時間に差が出てしまいますが、野生のイルカが相手なので、ご理解いただけると幸いです。

I was really excited to see several sea turtles during the sea turtle watching until we reached the sandbar, but the sandbar was deeper than I expected, so I couldn't sit down to take photos.

However, both the sea and the sandbar were very beautiful, and I was satisfied!! Please be careful after coming out of the water, as it can get cold.

I participated in the tour starting at 12:00. The snorkeling lasted about an hour, followed by approximately an hour of cruising before returning. When I joined, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle swimming.
It was great to experience something out of the ordinary while snorkeling slowly in deeper waters and swimming alongside the fish and sea turtles. The water was clearer than I expected, making it enjoyable to swim. For Japanese speakers, a simple one-page notice with precautions was provided.

Above all, the sea was incredibly beautiful. Luckily, I was able to see couple of sea turtles and manta rays, which was amazing! If I could wish for something, since I went with children, I was walking behind everyone in the snorkeling preparation, and I got pushed back by someone who started snorkeling a bit earlier, so I didn't have enough time to enjoy snorkeling slowly. I would have liked to cut down a bit more time relaxing at the sandbar and had a few more minutes to snorkel. The time was too short, and my child was only able to practice floating. The Japanese guide, the boat captain, and all the staff were very kind, and I was able to enjoy the tour!

The sea of Lanikai, also known as the "Heavenly Sea," was incredibly beautiful. The emerald green areas turn into sandbars during low tide, revealing sandy beaches if the timing is right. If you want to see the beach, you need to check the low tide schedule and join a tour accordingly.
After playing at the sandbar, I had a hamburger on the boat. They grilled it right there, and it was very delicious! ✨
During snorkeling, we were given bread to feed the fish, and many colorful fish gathered around, which was a lot of fun! ♪

雨も降り始めるといつもより長く、海の透明度が低かったけど、亀は何匹も確認できました。ランチのハンバーガーはパテが美味しいです。みんなで遊ぶビーチバレーも最高に楽しかったです。娘はビーチ用のカメラで、サンゴの周りにいるたくさんの魚たちを撮れたと喜んでました。評価は天気のことでマイナス1
また参加したいです。

I rented a bicycle and took my snorkeling gear and mat to Lanikai Beach. I had planned to go to Kailua Town in the afternoon, but the highly praised pizza from the reviews was so delicious that I got full and decided to relax at Lanikai Beach for the rest of the afternoon.
自転車をレンタルして
シュノーケルとゴザをもってラニカイビーチへ
午後からカイルアタウンへ行く予定でしたか
口コミで大好評のピザがとても美味しく
お腹いっぱいになったので
午後からもラニカイビーチでゆっくりしました。
Dear Anonymous,
Thank you for participating in our tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed a relaxing day at Lanikai Beach. It sounds like you had a wonderful and extraordinary day.
When you come back to Hawaii, please do visit Kailua and Lanikai again. We look forward to welcoming you.
Thank you very much.

I usually viewed Hanauma Bay from above, but this time I took the shuttle down to go snorkeling. I wondered what kind of fish I would meet. I had a little experience with snorkeling before, but this was my first time with fins. The instructors, Chieko and Dan, taught me how to snorkel very well, so I understood it in my head. Hmm, in practice… It took me a little while to get used to turning around, how to clear the water from my mask, and how to move my fins, but I was encouraged by the fish that kept appearing underwater, and I was able to enjoy snorkeling thoroughly. Towards the end, Dan found a sea turtle. It seemed to be leisurely eating. After its meal, it swam right by me without any fear. I was amazed and thrilled to see a sea turtle so close. I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I teamed up with my husband, but we couldn't swim together very well, and I ended up being guided by Chieko the whole time. Thank you for your help. Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. If I want to go snorkeling again, I will definitely join this tour. Thank you very much.
いつもは上から眺めていたハナウマベイでしたが、今回はシュノーケルをするためにシャトルで降りていきました。 どんな魚たちに会えるかな? 以前少しシュノーケルを体験したことがありましたが、足ヒレをつける本格的なのは初めてです。インストラクターのちえ子さんとダンさんがシュノーケルの仕方を要領よく教えてくださるので、頭ではよく分かりました。 う~ん、実践では… 方向転換の仕方、メガネの中に入った水の抜き方、ヒレの動かし方など慣れるのには少しかかりましたが、次々、水中に現れる魚たちに励まされながら、たっぷりシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。最後の方で、ダンさんがウミガメを見つけてくださいました。のんびりとお食事中のようでした。食後は、私のすぐ近くを、恐れもせず悠々と泳いで行きました。こんなに近くでウミガメが見られるなんて…驚きと感激でした。このツアーに参加してホント良かったです。一緒に参加した夫とバディーを組んだのですが、なかなか一緒に泳ぐことができず、ずっとちえ子さんに手を引いていただくことになりました。お世話になりました。お陰様で、安心してシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。また、シュノーケルをしたくなったら絶対このツアーに参加します。有難うございました。
Thank you for joining the tour with Blue Hawaii Divers. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Your husband did a great job as well. Hanauma Bay has beautiful scenery from above, but when you get in the water, it's like a natural aquarium filled with many fish swimming around. Please consider repeating the tour together again. You are always welcome. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。楽しんでいただけて本当に良かったです。旦那様もお上手に出来ていましたよ。ハナウマ湾は上から見てもとても綺麗な景色ですが、水の中に入るとたくさんの魚たちが泳ぐ天然の水族館なんです。是非またお二人でツアーにリピートしてくださいね。いつでも大歓迎です。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

Fortunately, the weather was great, making it a perfect day. We got to see not only sea turtles but also a rare manta ray, and my daughter, who was experiencing the ocean for the first time, was thrilled.
The staff was fun and kind, so I had no worries at all.
If I had to mention one thing, it would be that there were a lot of participants, and the seating on the boat was very cramped... During lunchtime, even though we received our hamburgers, there was nowhere to sit and eat, which was a bit of a hassle...
If it weren't for the cramped conditions on the boat, I think it would have been the best tour ever!☆
ラッキーなことにとてもお天気が良く、最高の1日になりました。
ウミガメはもちろん、レアなマンタにも会え、海が初めての娘も大喜び。
スタッフさんも楽しく&優しくて、不安は一切ありませんでした。
唯一、言うとしたら、
参加人数が大変多く、船上で座る場所がとても狭かった...
昼食時間はハンバーガーを受け取っても、座って食べる場所がなく、
困りました…
船上での狭さがなければ、最高のツアーだと思います☆

I participated with my mother and younger brother! It was my brother's first time in Hawaii and my mother's first time at the sandbar, but thanks to the fun staff, we had a wonderful time. My elderly mother, who can't swim, was also able to join with peace of mind!
母と弟と三人で参加しました!
弟は初ハワイ 母はサンドバー初でしたが
楽しいスタッフの方々のお陰で素敵な時間となりました。
高齢で泳げない母も安心して参加できました!

It was cloudy and the water level was high, so I couldn't see the scenery like in the guidebook, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, which was enjoyable. The bus ride to and from the location had very strong air conditioning, so it would be better to change into clothes instead of wearing a swimsuit on the way back.
曇りなうえに水位も高く、ガイドブックで見るような景色は見られませんでしたが、ウミガメやマンタを見ることができ、楽しめました。行き帰りのバスはかなり冷房がきついので、帰りは水着ではなく服に着替えたほうがよさそうです。

I imagined the scenery featured in a travel guide magazine when I visited the location, but I was really disappointed because it was nothing like the image I had in mind.
旅行ガイド誌に掲載されている風景を思い浮かべて現地に行ったが、
全然イメージにしていた風景ではなかったのでがっかりしました。
