The boat had a Japanese female guide who made the experience enjoyable without any inconveniences! The guide was very humorous and fun, creating a friendly atmosphere. I brought my 4-year-old and 10-year-old children along.
Although it was a regular tide day at the sandbar, my 4-year-old was able to play in the shallow water that was about their waist deep. For lunch, we had hamburgers on the boat, and the kids enjoyed them very much.
For snorkeling, we could swim while wearing life jackets, and my 10-year-old had a great time seeing underwater with the borrowed snorkel. My 4-year-old was also able to swim with the life jacket and a floating device that was lent to us!
I was surprised to see many sea turtles, which I hadn't expected at all! After the activities, it felt a bit chilly, but at just the right time, they served hot chocolate, which the kids absolutely loved and enjoyed drinking.
It seems that this tour was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii for the kids♪ Highly recommended!
船には日本人の女性のガイドの方が乗ってくれており、不自由なく楽しめました!
ガイドの方もとてもユーモアで楽しく、和気あいあいとしていました。
4歳と10歳の子供を連れて行きました。
サンドバーも普通の潮見の日でしたが、4歳児の腹ぐらいの浅瀬で遊べました。
ランチは船上でハンバーガーが食べれて、子供達も美味しく食べれてました。
シュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットを着て泳げるので、10歳は、借りたシュノーケルで水中を見れてとても楽しかった様子。
4歳児も、棒状の浮き具を貸してもらえるので、ライフジャケットと浮き具で泳げました!
あまり期待していなかったウミガメも沢山見れて、びっくり!
アクティビティの後は少し肌寒く感じたのですが、グッドタイミングで、ホットチョコレートを出して下さり、子供達はとーーーっても気に入って、喜んで飲んでいました。
今回のハワイ旅行の中で、子供達は一番楽しかったのが、このツアーだったみたいです♪
とても、オススメ♪

The day after arriving in Hawaii, I chose a course that departed at 9:30 instead of early morning. It was relaxing, so I was able to recover my energy. The scenery and timing were just right.
It had been a while since I went snorkeling, but there were no issues at all. I got to swim around the coral reefs and see beautiful fish, which made for a wonderful time. It was a bit disappointing that it was a little deep due to the tides, but the good weather and the opportunity to interact with foreign travelers made me very satisfied!
ハワイに着いた次の日なので、早朝では無く、9時半出発のコースにしました。ゆったりできたので、体力も回復。景色も時間もちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリングも久々でしたが、何の問題もなく、サンゴ礁をぐるっと一回りしたり、綺麗な魚を見られて素晴らしい時間でした。滿汐等の関係で少し深かったのが残念でしたが、いいお天気だったことや、外国の旅行者とも交流できるので、私は大満足でした!

This is my second time participating. I had a great time when I participated the year before last, so I appreciate it again. This time, I encountered a seal breathing right in front of me, and for a moment, I didn't know what was happening. Chieko told me I was really lucky, and I understood that later. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much. I will participate again when I come to Hawaii.
2回目の参加です。
一昨年、参加させていただいてとても楽しかったので、また、お世話になりました。
今回は、何と、目の前で息を吸っているアザラシに遭遇し、一瞬、何が起こっているのか分からなかったです。チエコさんに、本当にラッキーですよ、と言われて、後から納得した次第です。家族ともども、十分に堪能いたしました。

This was my first time in Hawaii.
I participated with my two sons, aged 9 and 11, making it a family of four.
We were satisfied with both the swimming and lunch.
This tour is popular and fills up quickly, so I recommend making a reservation early if you're considering a trip to Hawaii.
★Departure★
We were picked up under the flagpole at the Ilikai Hotel.
It’s also a pickup spot for Dolphin University and other tours, so it was quite crowded.
The bus arrived about 10 minutes late, but I felt reassured because I had called the contact number provided by Veltra to ask for the bus number.
The pickup location is also a stop for the pink line bus from Ala Moana Shopping Mall (free with a JCB card), so you could arrive by that bus as well.
After a 60-minute bus ride, we arrived at the port.
★Boarding - Sandbar★
We were split into two groups: Japanese and others.
Around 40:15, there were a lot of Japanese people.
Since the boat was the same size, it felt a bit crowded here.
We went with one Japanese person and a cheerful foreign staff member who understood Japanese. Let’s go!!
Drinks were provided along the way.
The lemonade was fantastic!
We arrived at the sandbar in about 30 minutes.
★Sandbar★
Unfortunately, it wasn't an island but rather a shallow area up to our stomachs.
If you really want an island experience, you can choose from three tour times: morning, noon, and afternoon, so check the tide schedule before making a reservation!
Here, we practiced snorkeling.
It was just right for the kids to get accustomed!
With the emerald blue sea and sandy coral, we took photos and enjoyed the clear water.
Beach volleyball was open for everyone to join!
It was a lot of fun.
Snorkels and life jackets are available for rent.
Fins are for the next coral reef.
★Lunch - Turtle Tour★
Lunch consisted of huge burgers!
The meat was freshly grilled on the boat.
The staff came aboard and performed live music with a guitar, and I thought, "Ah, this is a resort."
After finishing our meal, we set off.
We watched turtles while heading to the large coral reef.
On average, we saw one every 2-3 minutes.
I think we saw about 10-15 turtles.
★Snorkeling at the Coral Reef★
We received bread and off we went!
The fish gathered around, and when we offered the bread, they nibbled at it!
And then, a turtle swam right beside us!
I made a wish and swam together for about 30 seconds.
We swam for about 30 minutes, but due to a series of jellyfish stings (the blue ones), we had to cut it short.
(My wife also got stung.)
Those who were stung by jellyfish were treated with warm packs or cream.
The staff here were very attentive and provided great service.
We enjoyed warm drinks on the way back.
★Return★
The bus was 30 minutes late, haha.
But it was nice to have a little break on land.
It seems like taking a direct route from the boat to the bus could lead to motion sickness.
Everyone has their own perspective on this.
★Overall Review★
It was very good!
Next time, I want to achieve "landing" on the sandbar!
はじめてのハワイでした。
9歳と11歳の息子たちと家族4人で参加。
遊泳、ランチいずれも満足でした^ ^
このツアーは人気ですぐに予約で埋まってしまうので
ハワイ行きを検討されている方は早めの予約がおススメです。
★出発★
イリカイホテルの旗ポールの下でピックアップ。
イルカ大学さんやほかのツアーのピックアップ場所でもあるので
ごった返し(汗
10分遅れでバスが到着でしたが
ベルトラから案内あった当日連絡先に電話して

当該ピックアップ場所は、
アラモアナショッピングモールからの

停留所でもあるので、当該バスで乗り付けてもいいですね。
バスで60分揺られて港に到着。
★乗船〜サンドバー★

残念ながら島状にはなっておらず、腹〜胸くらいの浅瀬状態でした。
どうしても島がいいという人は
ツアーは午前、昼、午後の3部から選べるので
潮干狩りのように
どの日どの時間帯が干潮か、調べてから予約しましょう!
ここでシュノーケリング練習。
キッズにはちょうど良い慣らしですね!
エメラルドブルーの海とサンゴの砂で
写真を撮ったり、水の綺麗さを楽しんだり^ ^
全員入り乱れてのビーチバレーは参加したもの勝ち!
楽しくなれます。
シュノーケル、ライフジャケット貸出あります。

スタッフが船の上に上がってギター生演奏で歌ってくれ、
「ああ、リゾートだ」と一言。
食べ終わったら出発。
おおきなサンゴ礁までの間、カメウォッチング。
平均したら2、3分に1回見れたかな。
10〜15匹は見たような。
★サンゴ礁でシュノーケリング★
パンをもらってGo!
魚がめっちゃ集まり、パンを差し出すと
突っついてくれます!
そして、なんとカメがそばにユラり!!

のためそこで切り上げ。
(うちの嫁も被害に)
クラゲに刺された人は、お湯パックであっためたり
クリームを塗ってもらっていました。
ここでもスタッフが手厚く、対応良かったです。
あったかい飲み物を飲みながら帰投。

バスが30分遅れ笑

船→バスのダイレクトだと酔う可能性高そうですね。
ここの考え方は人それぞれということで。

とても良かったです!

まずは、ボートで数分走って、サンドバーを散歩しながら説明を聞いたり写真撮影などをします。
プライベートなので、人の少ない所に連れて行ってもらえるため、写真撮影では他の人が映らない景色をたくさん撮影することができました。そのあと、サンドバーの近くにあるシュノーケリングスポット(ちょうど水深が深くなるところ)に移動して、希望者はシュノーケルをしました。大きな魚がたくさんいました。
お腹がすいてきたので、船上でランチです。同じツアー会社の大人数を乗せる船も催行しており、そこで焼いたカルビやソーセージも頂き、最後は、ウォーターアクティビティーを楽しみました。3時間は長すぎるかと思いきやあっという間に楽しい時間が過ぎ去ってしまいましたが、非常によい思い出になりました。
昼食用のごはんや飲み物は、とっても美味しく満足のいく量があります。お酒を3缶持っていき、氷がたくさん入ったアイスボックスで冷やしてもらいもらえました。
シュノーケルセットは、透明度が高く海の中がくっきり見え、視力が弱くても海の中ではきれいに見えます。
6人いるなら絶対にプライベートボートがおすすめです。
さわやかで優しい日本人女性ガイドさんと、若々しく機転を利かせながらもてなしてくれるキャプテンの2名が、きめ細やかな対応をしてくださいました。写真もたくさん撮影してくださるし、子供のわがままにも応えてくれ(早く次に行きたい、あれがやりたいなど)ました。シュノーケルする前に、シュノーケリングの基本を教えてくださり、ガイドさんは常にライフセーバー用の浮き棒をもってシュノーケルのところまで一緒に来てくださるので、いつでも安心です。本当にどうもありがとうございました!

The scenery was amazing, but at this time of year, there are jellyfish, and about 5 or 6 people got stung. Of course, even on the bus during the transfer, I think it's important to inform people about the dangers more than before, as it can be dangerous! Children got stung more than adults, which is scary!

I have seen sea turtles several times before, but this time I was able to get so close that it felt like I was about to bump into one, and it was very exciting.
It was quite rare for Waikiki, which is usually full of Japanese people, to have no other Japanese participants or staff besides my family, and that atmosphere felt very refreshing.
これまでも何度か海ガメを見たことはありますが、今回はぶつかりそうなくらいに近くまで接近することが出来て、とてもエキサイティングでした。

I had heard that there were few Japanese people on this experience, and there were none besides us during our time. All the announcements were in English, so there were many moments when my husband and I, with our limited English skills, didn't quite understand what was being said. However, as long as you go with the flow of those around you, you'll be fine. They also respond casually to questions, even if you ask in broken English.
Before departure, they showed us a board written in Japanese that included information about drinks, safety on the boat, and tips.
For those with experience, it was okay to take off the life jackets, so we dove in without wearing them (they are mandatory in emergencies and are provided to everyone). They also lent fins for free to everyone. Life jackets and masks were distributed on the boat, and just before entering the water, they applied anti-fog solution to the masks and handed us the fins. However, the fins were a bit large since the sizes were quite general.
The depth of the sea was probably around 10 to 15 meters, and we got to see sea turtles! (There were several of them.) The fish we saw were black and a bit striped, so I wouldn't expect a colorful variety.
When we came up once, there were already people on the boat drinking alcohol. When we tried to go back into the sea, they kindly informed us that we had about five minutes left, saying, "This is the last chance!" (of course, in English).
At the end, there were people enjoying jumping off the boat. It was heartwarming to see everyone cheering and laughing as the kids jumped in.
I thought we would head back right away, but instead, we sailed further before returning, enjoying nearly an hour of sailing. It was quite rocky, so I would recommend taking motion sickness medication. The foreigners seemed to have a strong image, but some were looking quite exhausted. Of course, there were also some strong ones who were drinking heavily!
The payment for drinks was on a self-report basis after returning to the sandy beach. At that time, we put tips in a box, and the captain rang a bell and expressed his gratitude.
There were many small children, so it seems like families can enjoy this as well. The boat also had a restroom.
こちらの体験談で、日本人が少ないと聞いていましたが、私たちの時も日本人は他にいませんでした。
案内も全て英語でしたので、英語力の乏しい私たち夫婦には途中のアナウンスがよく分からない場面も多々ありました笑
でも周りの人たちに合わせていれば大丈夫です。また、拙い英語で質問しても気軽に答えてくれます。
出発前には日本語で書かれたボードを1枚見せてくれました。(飲み物や船上での注意、チップについてなどが書かれていました)
ライフジャケットは、経験のある人は外してもokでしたので、着用せずに潜りました。(緊急時は必須とのことで、全員に配られます)
またフィンも全員無料で貸してくれました。
船上でライフジャケットとマスクが配られ、海に入る直前に、マスクに曇り止めを付けてもらい、フィンを受け取ってGOです。ただ、フィンはサイズがザックリしているので、少し大きかったです。
海の深さは恐らく10〜15m位の所で、ウミガメにも会えました!(しかも何匹もいました)魚は、黒い魚と少しシマシマ模様の魚、という感じです。カラフルな感じは期待できないかと。
途中一度上がると、船では既にお酒を飲んでいる人たちも。再度海に入ろうとすると、丁寧にあと5分くらいで終わりだからラストね!と声をかけてくれました(もちろん英語ですが)
最後は、船からの飛び込みを楽しむ人たちも。子どもが飛び込むのをみんなで、笑いながら応援していて微笑ましかったです。
そのあとすぐ帰るのかと思いきや、もっと奥まで船を進めてから戻るコースで、1時間近くセーリングを楽しめました。結構波に揺られるので、酔い止めは必須かと。外国人の方は勝手に強いイメージでしたが、何人かグッタリしていました。もちろん、がんがんお酒を飲みまくる強者も笑
飲み物の精算は、砂浜に帰ってから船上で申告制でした。その時にboxの中へチップを。入れると船長がベルを鳴らして感謝の言葉を言ってくれていました。
小さい子どもも沢山いたので、家族連れでも楽しめそうです。船にはトイレも付いていました。

This was my second experience at the sandbar. This time, I went with a different tour company. It's called the Angel Sea Tour, but the person calling out at the meeting point wasn't very good at Japanese, so be sure to remember "Captain Bob Tours" as well!
The sandbar itself has territories depending on the tour company, so it's hard to say, but unfortunately, there was still water up to my knees this time. It's understandable given the weather, season, and lunar phases.
The flow was the same as the previous tour with another company: heading from the port to the sandbar → playing at the sandbar → lunch → snorkeling. There were two buses and two boats. One boat was just for Japanese people, while the other had a mix of Japanese and international guests (laughs). There were about 100 people in total.
The Angel Sea Tour offers:
- BBQ lunch that is incredibly delicious! They grill hamburgers on the boat!
- The tour guide is great at getting everyone excited and entertained.
They provide activities like beach volleyball at the sandbar.
- They don’t do annoying things like taking photos and selling them! (laughs)
- I encountered a giant sea turtle while snorkeling!
So, I highly recommend this tour!
サンドバーは2度目の体験。前回とは違うツアー会社でした。天使の海ツアーとなっていますが、集合場所での呼び出しは日本語があまり得意でない方でしたので、「キャプテンボブツアー」とも是非覚えておきましょう!
サンドバー自体はツアー会社によってのテリトリーがあるので、なんともいえないですが、残念ながら今回も膝下くらいまで水がありました。天候や季節、月の満ち欠けの影響があるので仕方ないですね。
流れは前回の他社のツアーとも同じく、港からサンドバーへ向かう→サンドバーで遊ぶ→ランチ→シュノーケリングの構成でした。
バス2台分、船は2隻。1隻は日本人だけ、もう一隻は半分日本人+多国籍軍でした(笑)全体で100名くらいでしょうか。
天使の海ツアーは、
・BBQランチがめちゃくちゃおいしい!船の上でハンバーグ焼いてます!
・添乗員さんが盛り上げ上手!楽しませてくれます
サンドバーではビーチバレーなど用意してくれています
・写真撮影して販売する・・など、うっとおしいことしません!笑
・シュノーケリングで巨大ウミガメに遭遇!
ということで、おすすめツアーです!

I couldn't see many dolphins, but all the staff were bright and fun, making for an enjoyable time. My preschooler was reluctant to snorkel and wanted to stay on the boat, but a staff member picked her up and took her into the water. Although she couldn't snorkel, she had a great time singing while swaying with the waves. I'm very grateful to the staff who tried to entertain the whole family.
イルカはたくさんはみることができませんでしたが、スタッフの皆さんが明るく、楽しい方ばかりで楽しい時間が過ごせました。幼稚園の子供がシュノーケルを嫌がり船に残ろうとしましたが、スタッフのお姉さんが抱きかかえて海に連れて行ってくれました。シュノーケルはできなかったものの、波に揺られながら歌を歌って楽しませてくれて娘もとても楽しく過ごせました。家族全員を楽しませてくれようとしたスタッフさん達に感謝でいっぱいです。

Dear Yuyu, thank you for joining the Blue Hawaii Divers tour. I'm very happy to hear that you and Dan enjoyed the tour!! The sea conditions were great that morning, and we were very lucky to see seals in the water. While they look cute when they're sleeping on the beach, they seem huge and a bit intimidating when seen underwater, but it's quite rare to see them like that. It was also great that you got to meet a turtle at the end of the tour. I hope you both will consider joining us again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

The driver tried to separate our seats, which had two participants. It seemed like they wanted to put their luggage in the front seat? This was our second time, but the lunch was of lower quality compared to last time, and it wasn't BBQ! The biggest disappointment was that we had to snorkel in a line. I think they should advertise it as suitable for beginners. I don't think I'll participate next time.

みたかった亀さんとゆっくり一緒にいることが出来ました。又 写真も撮ってくださって感謝です。自然のスリムなうつぼさんもいて ナポレオンフィッシュもふつうに泳いでいる。。ありがとうございます!

I was able to fully enjoy Kailua Town, Kailua Beach, and Lanikai Beach all at once. It was great that I could bike around. The Bob's Pizza I had with the lunch voucher was also very delicious. I had plenty of time and was very satisfied!
カイルアタウン、カイルアビーチ、ラニカイビーチと一度に全てを満喫できました。自転車を使って行き来できたのもとても良かったです。ランチ券でいただいたボブズピッザもとても美味しかったです(^^)
時間もたっぷりあってとっても満足できました〜
Dear Shiroto,

I was torn between choosing a plan without a guide, but I made the right decision by going with this one! As expected from an expert guide, they were very knowledgeable about Hanauma Bay and showed us the best spots for turtles and fish based on the day's sea conditions. We were able to meet and swim with the turtles, and we encountered schools of different types of fish twice, feeling as if we were swimming inside an aquarium. Thanks to our guide, we were able to enjoy ourselves efficiently and safely, creating the best memories.
Even in summer, being in the water for long periods can surprisingly cool your body down, so I think those who are sensitive to the cold should wear a wetsuit or rash guard to enjoy it even more.
ガイドなしのプランと迷ったのですが、こちらにして大正解でした!さすが達人ガイドさん。ハナウマ湾を熟知していて、その日の海の状況から亀や魚のいそうな場所を案内してくれました。そして亀に会うことができ、一緒に泳ぐことができました。また、違った種類の魚の群れにも2回遭遇し、さながら水族館の水槽の中を泳いでいる気分でした。ガイドさんのおかげで、効率よく安全に楽しむことができ、最高の思い出をつくることができました。
夏でも長時間水に浸かっていると意外に体が冷えるので、寒がりの方はウエットスーツやラッシュガードを着用した方が、より楽しめると思います。

I was really interested in the Angel's Sea experience, so I decided to participate. After checking reviews, magazines, and online information, I learned that the tide is better in the early morning, so I joined the morning session. When I woke up, the weather was clear, and I was excited as I was taken to the boat dock, but the weather started to look a bit suspicious. It didn't seem like it would rain, but there were quite a few clouds. Despite the situation, we boarded the boat and set sail for the spot! The Japanese guide (female) who was with us in the shuttle and on the boat provided very clear explanations and kept everyone entertained with her bright energy.
First, we stopped the boat at a spot where turtles are known to appear for some watching. Although they didn't come right in front of us, we did see quite a few turtles. Everyone was excited and taking photos. Next, we headed to the sandbar. As I mentioned earlier, there were many clouds, so it felt a bit chilly when we arrived at the sandbar! I was disappointed because I had relied on the information for the morning session, but the tide was not very low, only about waist-deep. The water level was lower than expected, around ankle-deep, and without any sunshine, it felt cold and a bit murky. Because of this, the snorkeling experience was less enjoyable.
It seems that the timing might have been off, or perhaps the volcanic activity on the Big Island affected the weather, causing many clouds and a whitish appearance around us. There were mountains where Jurassic World was filmed, and I couldn't help but think how beautiful it would have been if the weather had been clear! I was filled with regret, imagining the stunning scenery like in the experience photos. This time, we had a light meal with sandwiches, which were quite tasty. Drinks like cola, Sprite, tea, and other beverages were available for free.
For those who will participate in the future, I can only say that if you're lucky enough to have clear weather, you will have an amazing time! Locals also mentioned that the early morning is better for the tide, so it might be a good idea to choose the morning session. All we can do is hope for good weather. I hope to join again someday in perfect sunny conditions.
天使の海すごく興味が有り参加しました。口コミ情報や雑誌やネットなどの説明を見て朝早い方が潮引きが良いと知り朝早い時間帯で参加しました。朝起きてかなりの晴天でワクワクしながら船乗りばまで送迎してもらうなかなんだか天気が怪しい感じ。雨は降りそうもないけど雲がかなり多くなってきた。状況が変わらず船に乗りスポットまで出航!送迎車から船の中もずっと一緒に乗っていた日本人(女性)のガイドさんは、とても分かりやすい説明に非常に明るいテンションでみんなを楽しく和ませていました。まず亀の出るスポットで船のエンジンを止めてウォッチング。本当の目の前には現れなかったものの、結構亀が出現しました。みんな興奮して写真を撮っていました。次にサンドバーに向かいました。最初にも言ったように雲が多かったのでちょっと肌寒い感じの中サンドバーに到着!しっかり情報をあてにして朝の参加にしたのに残念。潮引きがあまく腰位迄の深さでした。足首程度の水位の期待が外れて晴れ間がないから寒いし少し濁って見える感じでした。なのでシュノーケルも楽しさが半減でした。時期が悪かったのかハワイ島の噴火の影響で風に流れて雲が多く辺りが白っぽい感じになってしまっているそうです。ジェラシックワールドの撮影された山があったりで、これが晴天だったらどんなに綺麗なんだろう!体験談の写真にのような素晴らしい景色なんだろうと悔やんでしょうがない気持ちでいっぱいでした。今回は軽食付きでサンドイッチを頂きました。普通に美味しかったです。ドリンクはコーラ、スプライト、紅茶、お茶などが飲み放題でした。これから参加する方には運良く晴天でであれば最高な時間を過ごせるよ!としか言えません。現地の方に聞いても朝早い方が潮引きが良いと言っていましたので、朝早い方便を選んだ方が良いかもしれません。天気は願うしかありません。いつかまた最高の晴天で参加したいです。

I found this tour while searching for relaxing activities to join in the afternoon just before my trip. The two-and-a-half-hour tour allowed us to snorkel off the coast of Waikiki, and we could also enjoy the beautiful views of Waikiki while on the boat—it was fantastic! We were able to see sea turtles and tropical fish without having to travel far, which was very moving. I often have so many things I want to do that my schedule becomes hectic, and I thought I might have to give up on snorkeling, but this tour offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ocean. It's also great for families! There were many other foreign participants, so we could all have a fun time together!
午後からゆっくり参加できるアクティビティを旅行直前まで探していた時にみつけたツアーでした。ワイキキ沖でシュノーケリングができ、しかも船に乗りながらゆっくりとワイキキの景色も堪能できる2時間半のツアーは最高でした!時間かけて遠くまで行かなくてもウミガメや熱帯魚も見れてとても感動♪いつもやりたいことが多くて、ハードスケジュールになる為、シュノーケリングを諦めないといけないかなぁと思っていましたがこちらのツアーは充分に海を楽しめる内容です。家族連れの方にも楽しめます!他の外国人の方もたくさん参加されていましたのでみんなでワイワイ楽しく過ごせます!

Zero bad things to say about the whole experience!
First, the bus driver, Rey, was friendly and prompt!
The host, Jenner, was also extremely friendly and funny!
Mike and Tyson, the dudes on the boat, were insanely helpful and welcoming!
If you're staying in Waikiki, I recommend taking their shuttle. There are various location pickups throughout Waikiki, so you can just walk to one.
The tour starts at the sandbar, where you can walk around explore. They also have a volleyball net setup, which is super cool. Next, we are served freshly cooked burgers and snacks on the boat. Then, after lunch, we sail to an area where we can turtle watch. Lastly, we were taken to a nearby reef, where we could snorkel for an hour. They provide all the proper snorkeling gear and life vests, so no need to bring your own.

This was my first trip to Hawaii with my family. The ocean was like paradise, and I was right to check the tide times in advance for this day. Although it wasn't completely like a sandbar, the beautiful sand reflecting on the water was truly a sight that you can't find in Japan. The kids were also impressed, but our time there was limited to taking photos or playing volleyball. The volleyball court was taken over by some very energetic foreigners, and the Japanese boat team was just watching. I felt that if there were more activities to enjoy here, it would create a better experience and more memorable moments. Things like rubber boats, trampolines, water polo, water guns, etc. would really enhance the experience.
But the ocean was beautiful.
I also heard about a BBQ lunch, but it was just a burger, which was disappointing.
私自身、初めてのハワイで家族をつれての旅行でした。天国の海、期待して前もって潮の時間も確認してこの日にして正解でした。完全には中洲みたいな砂浜がでている状態ではありませんでしたが、膝下くらいで綺麗な砂が海面に反射してまさしく日本にはにない綺麗な海でした。子供たちも感動しておりましたが、ココでの時間は写真撮影か、バレーしかありませんでした。バレーボールはハイテンションな外人さんに占領され日本人ボートチームはただソレを見ているだけでした。ココでもっと過ごすに楽しめる物を催してくれたら、差別化がもっと出来るし、思い出も、感動も倍増するのでは・・と感じました。ゴムボート、トランポリン、水球、水鉄砲、エトセトラ・・・
でも海は綺麗でした
あと、BBQランチと聴いていましたがただのバーガーでした
残念でした

Thank you for participating for the second time, Kokko. It was a beautiful day with a low tide, and I came hoping to find turtles at Sandman's Patch, but I ended up encountering a seal. It was really big! I've been seeing them sleeping on the beach more often lately, but it was truly lucky to see one in the water. I'm glad we also got to see turtles towards the end! I look forward to seeing everyone again on the tour when you come back to Hawaii. Thank you so much for repeating your visit. Mahalo!!
kokko様、2回目のご参加ありがとうございます。この日は引き潮で綺麗な日で、サンドマンズパッチへカメを探そうかと思って来たところ、アザラシに遭遇してしまったのです。とっても大きかったですね。ビーチで寝ているのは最近はよく見れるようになりましたが、水の中で見れるのは本当にラッキーでした。最後の方ではカメにも会えてよかったですね!!是非またハワイにお越しの際にはツアーで皆様にお会いできるのを楽しみに待っております。
本当にリピートしていただき、ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
