I was a bit disappointed because the weather was bad.
They sell items like motion sickness pills and shoes if needed.
There is an explanation when purchasing, but it can come off as trying to make you buy something.
I was told that I could download photos later, but only one is free.
The rest will incur a fee.
I thought that with the explanation on board, I could download all my favorite photos for free.
I gave the tip to the captain when we disembarked.
I don't want to carry cash, so I would prefer a price that includes the tip.
I would like the tip requirement (percentage of the tour cost) to be clearly stated in the tour details.

天気が悪かったので少しがっかりでした。
酔い止めとかシューズとか必要な場合は販売してもらえます。
販売に際して説明があるのですが買わそうとしている様にも取れます。
写真を後日ダウンロードできるとの事でしたが、
無料なのは1枚だけです。
あとは料金が発生します。
船上での説明の仕方だと好きな写真を全部無料でダウンロード
できると思ってました。
チップは船を降りる際にキャプテンに渡しました。
現金は持っていきたくないのでチップ込み料金にしてほしい。
チップ必要（ツアー代何％）とツアー詳細にわかりやすく明記してほしい。

This tour was really awesome! The staff was extremely helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They had so many children on the tour I was on and they handled everything very safely and professionally. This tour doesn't guarantee dolphin sightings but they found them very quickly and easily and were very diligent to be sure everyone had a chance to see them. The Dolphins were in groups of 3-5 and I saw them at least 5 times. It was excellent.
The reef they brought us to was awesome! tons of fish and I saw at least 4 turtles.
I would highly recommend this tour. There are many that just to dolphin sightings, not swimming. Or they only allow 2-4 people in at once so youre not in the water the whole time, but they took everyone at once and kept a tight knit group and had recommendations on how to not scare the dolphins away. It was great. I didn't do any of the water sports because the snorkeling was so good but others looked to be having fun.
Great staff!
Great dolphins!
Great snorkel spot!
Great entertainment on the way back!
Very safe but also flexible.
Check it out for sure. Best day in Hawaii.

WE CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN. THE STAFF WAS AMAZING, EASY TO WORK WITH, PATIENT, FUN, EXCITING, AND EXPERIENCED. I HAVE 2 11YR OLDS AND IT WAS THEIR FIRST TIME. THEY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE HELP OF THE CREW. WE WILL DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN.

This trip exceeded my expectations. We swam with dolphins several times. One pod consisted of 16 dolphins. And we probably saw 50 green sea turtles. Outstanding! The crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. I was saying good bye to my pictures as my camera sank into the coral below. Then Paul dove at least 25 feet underwater to retrieve it. Who could have expected this amount of attention? . As a bonus, he made his pictures available for everyone on board. Thank you, thank you!

There was a morning call, and there was a guide who spoke Japanese, so I felt at ease. The staff were all fun people, and the dancing was great. It was a wonderful experience. I got to see dolphins and swim with tropical fish. Since it was my first time snorkeling, I think I could have enjoyed it even more if I had been more accustomed to it. To make it a good memory, taking motion sickness medication is essential. There were a few people who got sick and looked like they were struggling.

モーニングコールもあり、日本語の出来るガイドさんもいたので安心♡
スタッフの皆さんも楽しい人たちでダンスもよかった。いい体験になりました。イルカも見れて熱帯魚とも泳げました♡
シュノーケル初体験だったので慣れていればさらに満喫出来たなぁって思います。よい思い出にするために酔い止めは必須。酔った人が何人かいて、しんどそうでしたよ。

I wasn't very good at swimming, but I was able to enter the ocean with a kickboard. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't see the dolphins underwater, but I want to take advantage of the scholarship program to try again. I had a lot of fun playing with sea turtles and tropical fish. The current in the ocean was strong, making it difficult to swim. The wind was also strong and it got cold, so I highly recommend borrowing a wetsuit (it's only $10). You can also buy the photo data for $50, so I recommend seeing and enjoying it with your own eyes.

泳ぎが苦手な私でしたが、ビート板を貸してもらって海に入ることができました。イルカを水中で確認することができなくてちょっと残念でしたが、（いたのに確認できなかったことが残念）奨学金制度を利用してリベンジしたいです。ウミガメやトロピカルフィッシュとはたくさん遊べました。海の流れが速く、泳ぐのが大変。風も強く体も冷えるので参加する人は是非ウエットスーツを借りてください。（10ドルで安いですよ）写真のデーターも50ドルで買えるので、自分の目でしっかり見て楽しむのがお薦めです。

I took my 3-year-old daughter on our first trip to Hawaii. With a small child, there are limits to what you can do, so I pondered various activities in Hawaii, but this tour was completely suitable for little kids (3 years old) and was incredibly enjoyable!

I checked the tide times for Kaneohe in advance and chose a tour date during the lowest water level of our stay in Hawaii. However, whether the weather would be good was up to luck... We were really fortunate, as it was sunny from the morning, and the water level was just about knee-high, so we had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and made the experience fun, and they were very kind to my daughter as well. She looked like she was having a great time, and I was so happy to see that. The buffet on the boat was delicious too!

We also got to see sea turtles, and I was surprised at how close they came to us. While the weather can be a matter of luck, I highly recommend that those who will participate check the tide times in advance before signing up!

３歳の娘を連れて、初めてのハワイ。
小さな子供連れだと出来ることも限られていますので、ハワイでやることを色々と悩みましたが、このツアーは小さな子供（３歳）でも全然ＯＫで、とっても楽しめる内容でした！

事前にカネオヘの満潮と干潮を調べて、ハワイ滞在中で最も水位が低い時間帯のツアーの日程を選びました。
でも、天候が良いかどうかは運次第…。
私達は本当に運が良く、朝から晴れて、水位もくるぶしくらいの高さだったので、本当に楽しめました。
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく楽しく盛り上げて下さり、娘にもとても優しくしてくれました。
娘も本当に楽しそうにしていて、その姿を見られて嬉しかったです。
ボートでのビュッフェも美味しかったですよ♪

ウミガメにも会うことが出来、しかもとっても近くまで来てくれて驚きました。
天候については運の部分もありますが、これから参加される方にはぜひ満潮と干潮の時間を事前に調べてから申し込むことをオススメします♪

The scenery was very beautiful, and the guide was very helpful, but the snorkeling was quite disappointing. I was aware that the waters in Hawaii are not very clear, but it felt like a complete beginner course. There weren't even fins provided.

景色はとても綺麗だし、ガイドさんもとてもよくしてくれましたが、シュノーケリングだけがとても残念でした。
ハワイの海が綺麗でないことは承知でしたが、
超初心者コースといった感じ。
フィンすらありませんでした。

We did the snorkeling tour with Chieko and Dan and it was amazing. Their help and information was appreciated. My boyfriend was terrified of sinking and Dan explained it thoroughly which gave him the confidence he needed to do it. We saw sooo many out of this world fish it was like an acquarium, and even a turtle! We had plenty of time to explore the entire bay and you go plenty deep to see some amazing marine life. It was a once in a lifetime experience so thankyou Blue Hawaii Divers!

Amazing perfect couldn't of been better. No volleyball tho :(

Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!

あいにくのお天気のため、気温が予想より低く、船上は風もあり少し寒く感じました。
ビーチタオル必須ですね、小さめのタオルだったのが後悔（笑）
ツアースタッフの皆さんは、暖まれるようにビーチバレーをしてくださったり
声かけで盛り上げてくださいました。
船上で食べるハンバーガーは格別！
タイトルがBBQとなってるのは、パテなどを焼くからなんでしょうかね？
午後からフリーになるので、とても１日を有効に使えました！

I’ve been on several shark dives in the past - almost all without cages. This experience was right up there with all the rest.
Without a cage you really get to understand that, unlike Shark Week hype, sharks are not out to get us.
You share the ocean and appreciate them as they go about their own business. We had up to 17 sharks in the vicinity on the my second trip, including Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads. A couple would cruise by closer, but most seemed content to keep their distance.
The team made both dives very informative as well as enjoyable. Their cameraman ensures that you’ll have pictures to share with family and friends. I used my GoPro, but still got the pictures they took as well.
If I’m ever back on Oahu, I’ll book a couple more outings with them.

The tour was better than we had anticipated. We went with a 20 month old toddler, sea was calm.
The bus that picked us from the hotel was clean and the bus ride was relaxing.
The atmosphere was friendly, tour guides were fun and professional. Food was excellent, they catered for my spouse who has special dietary needs.
Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely go back to Sandbar with Captain Bob's sandbar adventure

I had been interested for a while, but this time I decided to participate for the first time. To prepare, I researched the dates and times when the sandbar would be fully exposed and booked a morning tour. The weather was a bit cloudy, but as scheduled, the sandbar was completely revealed and it was breathtaking. After that, I enjoyed snorkeling and water sports. The food was also very delicious, and the guide's stories were very entertaining. I definitely want to participate again next time.

以前から興味はあったのですが、今回初めて参加することにしました。
そのためにサンドバーが、完全に表れる日にちと時間を調べて、午前中のツアーを予約して参加しました。天気は少し曇り気味でしたが、予定通りに
サンドバーは完全に水が引いていて圧巻でした。後はシュノーケリングやマリンスポーツを楽しみました。食事も大変おいしく、ガイドさんの話もとても面白かったです。次回もぜひ参加したいと思います。

From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

We were traveling with a 2-year-old, but my mother watched him on the boat, and my husband and I participated in snorkeling together. It started off a bit gloomy with rain in Waikiki early in the morning, but we arrived after about an hour to beautiful weather! Luckily, we were able to see a sea turtle even before boarding the boat. Shortly after departure, we encountered dolphins and hurried into the water! I felt a bit rushed as we jumped into the sea one after another, and I wondered if it might be a bit hard for snorkeling beginners. However, there are guides available for those who are anxious, so it’s reassuring. I was confident in my snorkeling skills, but I ended up more tired than I expected. We only had one snorkeling session with the dolphins, but on the way back to the boat, they swam close to us again, so we had two opportunities to swim with them, which was satisfying. After returning to the boat and moving to another location, we encountered a large group of dolphins, but since it was a spot with many sharks, we watched from the boat. It was great to experience both! We saw a lot of dolphin jumps too! After that, we went snorkeling with sea turtles. We moved to the turtle point and saw them shortly after swimming, which was also satisfying. There were five of them! I knew we shouldn’t touch them, but they came so close that I was desperately trying to avoid bumping into them. The freshly made hamburgers prepared on the boat were also very delicious! After arriving at the port, we even saw a ray! After getting off the boat, we saw sea turtles again at the spot we visited on the way there. Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish! I definitely want to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

2歳の子連れでしたが船上では母に見てもらい、シュノーケルには夫婦での参加です☆朝早くワイキキは雨で憂鬱なスタートでしたが1時間程で到着し、着いたらとてもいい天気でした！運良く船に乗る前からウミガメを見ることができました(^ ^)出発後もすぐにイルカに遭遇して急いで海に入りました！！次々と海にジャンプして入るので少し焦りましたが(^-^;シュノーケル初心者には少しハードなのかな？と思いましたが、不安な方はガイドさんが付いてくれますので安心です☆シュノーケルには慣れていて自身があったのですが、思っていたより疲れました(°_°)イルカとのシュノーケルは一回でしたが、船に戻る途中にもう一度近くを泳いでくれたので一緒に泳ぐ？機会は2回あり満足でした☆船に戻り移動してまたイルカの大群に遭遇しましたが、サメが多い場所とのことで船からのウォッチングになりましたが、どちらも体験できたので良かったです(^ ^)イルカのジャンプもたくさん見れました！その後はウミガメとシュノーケルです。移動してウミガメのポイントへ。少し泳いですぐに見れたのでこれも満足です(^ ^)5匹いました！触ってはいけないのは承知ですが、びっくりするほど近づいてくるので当たらないように逆に遠ざかるのに必死な程でした(^-^;船で作ってくれる出来立てのハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです☆港に着いてからは何と！エイまで見れました!!!!船から降りて、行きに見た場所でまたウミガメも見れました☆もう何から何まで最高な体験になりました！またハワイに行くときには絶対に参加したいです(^ ^)☆

Before going to Hawaii, I was concerned about the weather, but it didn't rain and was cloudy instead. It was low tide, and the sandbar appeared beautifully, which was breathtaking. My friend, who was excited to see the honu (sea turtles), was thrilled to spot them popping their heads out of the water and surfacing for air while snorkeling among the corals. It was really great to see that. The crew on the boat was very friendly and provided explanations in Japanese, making me want to go again.

The food was delicious. We walked through the water to reach the sandbar, but the sandbar itself has corals, so it can be painful to walk on it barefoot. I recommend bringing marine shoes if you have them. You can buy them locally, but we went barefoot. The staff were also walking around barefoot. While the tide was coming in, the boat rocked a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication would be wise. I usually don't get seasick, and I felt I didn't need any medication. I highly recommend the sandbar.

ハワイ行く前に予約して天候が気になりましたが、雨は降らず曇りでした。
ちょうど引き潮の時でサンドバーが綺麗に出現していて感動でした。一緒に行った友達もホヌを見るのが楽しみで、サンドバーに向かっている途中でも海面から頭を出すところやシュノーケリングでサンゴに隠れている所とか呼吸のため海面に上っていく姿見れてすごく良かったです。船の乗組員も日本語で説明してくれたり超フレンドリーな方ばかりでまた行きたいと思うほどです。
食事も美味しかったです。サンドバーまでは海の中を歩いて行きましたが、サンドバー自体がサンゴのため海面から出ると裸足だと痛いです、マリンシューズ持ってる方は持って行った方がいいかと思います。持っていなくても現地で買えますが私たちは裸足で行きました。スタッフさんも裸足でスタスタ歩いていました。海が満ちてきている途中は船が揺れて、車酔いされる方は酔い止めは必要かと思います。私は普段酔わないですが酔い止めはいらなかった感じでした。サンドバーお薦めです。

This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.

たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに･･･‼でも船上ＢＢＱハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。

It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.

天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう！スタッフもgood

Playing volleyball in the ocean was so much fun!! Even though we couldn't communicate, we enjoyed ourselves. Also, swimming with the turtles was a great experience.

海の中でやったバレーが楽しすぎた！！言葉通じなくても楽しめました。 あと、亀と泳げた感じも良かったです。

It was cloudy on the day, but the staff member, 19-year-old Joan, was very friendly and took great care of my 12-year-old child, making it a lot of fun. I participated in the afternoon plan, and both the staff and the food were excellent.

当日曇りでしたが、スタッフのジョアン１９歳がとても人懐こくて１２歳の子供の相手をしてくれてとても楽しめました。
　午後のプランで参加しましたが、スタッフも食事も最高でした。

I think it's a tour that is influenced by the tides. It was my first time participating, but I was able to land on the sandbar successfully. Maybe it's because I've been behaving well lately—haha! I was also able to see the honu (sea turtle) properly. When it was time to return to the port, the guide waved goodbye and came to greet us!

We practiced snorkeling in the shallow waters, and the guide stayed with us, constantly checking in to see if we were okay, which was reassuring. The meal we had on the boat was super delicious. I especially loved the chili beans. I definitely want to participate again!

潮の満ち引きで左右されるツアーだと思います。初めての参加でしたが、しっかりサンドバーに上陸出来ました。日頃の行いが良いからかなぁー笑
ホヌちゃんにもしっかり会う事ができました。また、港に蛙時間になったら、武具さんがバイバーイって、ご挨拶に来てくれました！！
浅瀬で、シュノーケリングの練習もするし、一緒に着いてきてくれて、また大丈夫？って、常に声をかけてくれるので安心でした。
船で頂いた食事も、超～美味しかったです。
特にチリビーンズがお気に入りです。
是非、また参加したいでーす。

I would recommend this adventure our photographer was amazing he got a school of dolphins too.There was an octopus right with my husband and the photographer there and turtles.Lots of beautiful fish.

Excellent crew made sure everyone was comfortable and also made sure everyone got to snorkel with the turtles.
Had a great time especially for the price it was a great value

Chartered bus and boat with meals included. They also lend you masks and fins, so you don't have to worry about arranging those yourself. The meals are sufficient considering the location, and the prices are attractive compared to other companies. This tour is one of the few that allows snorkeling near the coral reefs and accepts children. Unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather, so I will participate again. Next time, I will dive in without a life jacket from the start!

バスと船のチャーターおまけに食事付き。マスクとフィンも貸してくれますので、自分で手配する煩わしさを考えると言うこと無しでしょう。
食事も場所を考えると充分ですし、価格も他社比較でも魅力的です。
サンゴ礁付近でスノーケリングができて、子供の参加を受け付けてくれるのはこのツアーくらいでは？
残念ながら天候に恵まれなかったので、また参加します。次回は最初からライフジャケット無しで潜りまくります！

Swimming with turtles and sailing with dolphins was amazing! It felt like a great deal for the price. I participated in the morning session, and there were hardly any Japanese people, so it was a deep American tour.

カメと一緒に泳げ、イルカと一緒にセーリング出来て最高でした！
値段の割にかなりお得感があります。
午前中の時間帯に参加したのですが、日本人がほとんどいなくてディープなアメリカンなツアーでした

It was pouring rain on the way there, which was disappointing, but by the time we arrived, the rain had stopped. I felt reassured to see several staff members who spoke fluent Japanese. We rented bicycles from Kailua Adventure. Although the waves were high and we couldn't enjoy snorkeling, we had a great time shopping and cycling. Since we had a long stay, we were able to enjoy a variety of activities.

向かう時は土砂降りで、残念な気持ちでしたが、到着したら雨が上がっていました。スタッフさんに日本語ペラペラな方が数人みえて　安心でした。レンタサイクルもカイルア・アドベンチャーさんでお借りしました。波が高くてシュノーケリングは楽しめなかったけど、ショッピングやサイクリングを満喫しました。滞在時間が長いからいろいろ楽しめますよ

Would definitely recommend this activity to do it was amazing the crew were fantastic
