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>

Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so the color of the sea was not very vibrant. 残念ながら曇っていましたので、海の色が今一つでした。

Reviewed by: ヤマチャン

Is this an experience unique to Japan? Or perhaps to the world? It can only be described as wonderful. I've been visiting Hawaii for years, but since I always go in winter, it was too cold for me to feel like getting in the water. However, this time it was a family trip with eight people, including my three grandchildren, so we included it at the children's request. I didn't get in the water, but the other seven came out with beaming smiles, and it was definitely worth bringing them. I bought an underwater camera just for this occasion, but I was so caught up in the fun that I didn't take a single picture. What a shame!

日本ではというか?世界でもここだけ?の経験でしょうか?もう素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。何年もハワイには通っていますが、いつも冬ばかりなので、老人には寒すぎて水に入る気がしませんでしたが、今回は孫三人を含む8人の家族旅行でしたので、子供たちの要望で組み入れました。僕は、水には入らなかったのですが、あとの7人は水から上がってきた顔が満面の笑みで、連れてきたかいがあったというものです。せっかくの水中カメラをこのために買っていったのに、遊ぶのに夢中で、一枚も撮らずじまいでした。残念!

The fish is disappointing. 魚は期待できない

Reviewed by: 熊崎孝之

I was expecting the beauty of the ocean, but while it is cleaner than Waikiki, it wasn't impressive. Upon reflection, there are more fish in rocky areas than in sandbars, so I wouldn't recommend it for those wanting to see fish. It's about a 20-minute bike ride to the city. I went to Target to buy souvenirs, but the chocolate obviously melts. The bike rental is $10. The staff are Japanese, so it's reassuring! The cost performance isn't great; it might be better to go by taxi or rent a car.

海のきれいさを期待していましたが、ワイキキよりはきれいなものの、感動するほどではありません。よく考えてみたら、サンドバーよりは岩場の方が魚がいるわけで、魚を見たい人にはお勧めしません。街へは自転車で20分くらい。お土産を買おうとターゲットに行きましたが、チョコは当然のごとく溶けます。自転車は10ドル。スタッフは日本人なので安心です!コスパは悪め、タクシーかレンタカーで行く方がよいかな。

I was able to see the dolphin swimming very close by, and I'm grateful to all the staff. My 9-year-old child seemed scared during their first snorkeling experience in the open sea and cried out of frustration, but they were moved to see the dolphin from the boat. We want to go again. Thank you!

イルカ先生がすぐ近くを泳いでいるのがみられて、スタッフの皆さんに感謝です。9歳のうちの子は、初めての沖でのシュノーケリングが怖かったみたいで、自分の不甲斐なさに泣いていたけど船の上からイルカ先生をみて感激してました。また行きたいと思いました。ありがとうございました!

That's unfortunate. 残念

Reviewed by: 東北の親父

I had been interested in this for a while, and when I went to Hawaii last time, I couldn't make a reservation, so I decided to try again this time! I was really looking forward to it. However, nature had other plans. During high tide, the sandbar was only up to my knees, and it rained.

The snorkeling was challenging due to the strong currents, but it was a satisfying tour overall. We even saw sea turtles up close, which was thrilling. Given the weather conditions, I will check the tides for my next attempt. The staff was excellent!

以前より気になっておりまして、前回ハワイに行った際は予約が取れずに今回は再チャレンジ!
大変楽しみに行きました。自然には勝てず。満潮でサンドバーはひざ上位まで。そして雨
但しシュノーケリングは潮が強かったですが、満足のいくツアーでした。ウミガメも出現して、身近で見れて感激。この様な天気でしたので、次回は潮を調べて再チャレンジ。

Sea sick

Everyone on the boat was sea sick and was vomiting the whole time. The sub scooter was fun, but there are lots of pressure. If you get claustrophobic or sea sick easily I don't recommend this active. We got to see a lot of fishes. The crew member on the other hand are no really nice.

There are many sandbar tours... サンドバーツアーは数あれど・・・

Reviewed by: Emi

When you come to Oahu, you can't miss the sandbar! There are many sandbar tours, but I recommend the full-day sightseeing tour with sea turtle watching and BBQ! Since you're there, I hope you fully immerse yourself in the tour for the whole day. Unless you time it perfectly with a big tide, it won't be a sandbar, but you'll still have plenty of fun. It's highly recommended! It can get a bit chilly after coming out of the water, so be sure to bring a jacket.

オアフに来たら、サンドバーは外せません!サンドバーツアーは数あれど、ウミガメウオッチングBBQ付き一日観光がおススメです!せっかくですから、一日どっぷりとツアーに漬かってほしいです。よっぽどの大潮タイミングを狙わない限り砂洲ではないですが、十分楽しめます。イチオシです!
海からあがると少し寒いから、上着を一枚持っていってね。

We had a blast!

Reviewed by: Jessie

We saw several amazing turtles and schools of fish. The crew was great - one member stayed by my son in the water until he was comfortable, and then dove down to get cool stuff off the sea floor to show him. The sailing portion was a blast. They let my son drive the boat which will be an awesome memory for him. I would definately do this again.

The sea is beautiful. 海がきれい

Reviewed by: 燃える闘魂

We participated as a family of four. Personally, I think the ocean at Waikiki Beach is not that great, so we joined this tour in search of a beautiful sea. Kailua Beach was also beautiful, but we walked with our daughter to the slightly farther Lanikai Beach. (You can easily make the round trip on foot, not just by bike.) Lanikai Beach felt a bit more beautiful than Kailua Beach, and the location was stunning and impressive. For lunch, we chose pizza. It was very delicious, and even the family members who had a poor appetite enjoyed it.

家族4人で参加しました。ワイキキのビーチの海が個人的にイマイチだと
思っているので、奇麗な海を求めて、このツアーに参加しました。
カイルアビーチも奇麗でしたが、少し離れたラニカイビーチにも娘と歩いて
行きました。(自転車でなくても徒歩で余裕で往復出来ます)
ラニカイビーチは、カイルアビーチより若干奇麗なのかなという感じですが

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>

I encountered a large sea turtle! 大きなウミガメに出会えました!

Reviewed by: としくん

First, we headed to the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day we visited, and it was high tide, which made it feel a bit lacking. I think the view would be amazing on a clear day when a little bit of the beach is exposed above the water.

We played beach volleyball here (the ball was surprisingly heavy) and practiced snorkeling before enjoying hamburgers for lunch.

After that, we moved to a sea turtle spot for snorkeling. We were dropped off in a massive coral area that spanned several dozen meters wide. The entire area was filled with live coral, and there were plenty of fish to see. We even encountered sea turtles! However, I think you need to be careful when chasing the turtles because it suddenly gets deep as you go further out.

While encountering the sea turtles was a highlight, the sandbar, which is another main attraction, was a bit disappointing that day, so I would rate it a 4.

まずはサンドバーへ行きます。
私たちが訪れた日は、生憎の天気で、なおかつ満ち潮だったため、イマイチな感じでした。
カラっと晴れた日に、海上に砂浜が少し出てるぐらいだと、最高の景色になると思います。
ここでビーチバレーしたり(球がやたら重い)、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして、昼食にハンバーガーを頂きます。

その後は、ウミガメスポットに移動してシュノーケリング。
横幅が数10mはある、巨大なサンゴの密集地帯で降ろされました。
一面生きたサンゴで、魚も見応えがあります。
ウミガメにも出会えましたよ!ただ、カメを追いかけて沖の方に行くと、いきなり深くなるので注意が必要だと思います。

ウミガメに出会えたのはポイントが高いですが、もう一つのウリであるサンドバーがこの日はもう一つだったので、評価4で。

Submarine Underwater Scooter Adventure & Turtle Snorkeling Tour from Hawaii Kai

Scooter Adventure

Reviewed by: Gale Moses

It would have been "a once in a lifetime" opportunity in the Pacific ocean in Hawaii. Unfortunately the three of us anxiously awaiting our turn on the underwater scooters became seasick. Had we known the swells of the ocean, from tropical storm Darby, may have affected us negatively, maybe we could have prepared better. Perhaps somewhere in the confirmation the vendor could have mentioned motion sickness and recommended we take or put on something "just in case" we might be affected. My son made it into the scooter gear but came up because bubbles kept getting in his nose, eyes. Others on the boat did have a great time! We won't go again. We will snorkel next time. It just didn't work out for us.

Full of dolphin teachers. イルカ先生だらけ

Reviewed by: みやも

During the ceremony of setting sail on the boat, a pod of 20 to 30 dolphins came to join us, and we were able to swim with them. It's said that it's rare to encounter them this quickly. Lucky!!

It was an emotional first experience for me. I also got to see sea turtles swimming a few times. Since we met the dolphins early on, we had plenty of time left for marine sports, which made me very satisfied. The marine sports equipment is limited, so we took turns. The crew members were all cheerful and kind, making it the best experience. I definitely plan to participate again next time.

船に乗って出航の儀式?をしている最中に2~30頭のイルカの群れが来てくれて、一緒に泳げました。こんなに早くあえるのは滅多にないことらしいです。ラッキー!!
初めての体験で感動しました。ウミガメ教授も何度か泳いでいるのを見れました。早々にイルカ先生と会えたので、マリンスポーツの時間もたっぷり残り、大満足でした。マリンスポーツは機材の数がたくさんはないので、交代制です。クルーのメンバーも明るく親切な人ばかりなので、最高の体験でした。また次も絶対に参加すると思います。

The sandy beach was not visible. It was about knee-deep, I guess. If it gets any deeper, it might be tough for families with small children. The emerald green sandbar was beautiful. The clarity of the water for snorkeling and the lunch were quite disappointing, but the atmosphere was really enjoyable.

2.5-Hour Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Turtle Snorkel Tour with Cocktails from Hilton

Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Linda

This would have been a great snorkel adventure if there weren't so many people on board. It was impossible to view turtles. We were told to stick together and when the crew member who was in the water with us alerted us about a sighting everyone would swim over towards the turtles and you would either get kicked or shoved aside. Finally my granddaughter and I gave up and swam back toward the catamaran and we saw plenty of fish. The lunch was a lot better than the catamaran snorkel sail I took her on last year while she was here visiting. But they had a lot fewer people and we were able to snorkel and see turtles without being run over.

Due to the weather conditions, it couldn't be helped, but it was very cold, and I was submerged in water up to my knees without being able to see the sandy beach, so I couldn't fully enjoy the angelic sea.

Also, even though I waited from early in the morning for the meeting time, they arrived over 30 minutes late without any particular apology. I understand that traffic can cause delays, but I had even called to confirm, so I was a bit disappointed with the response.

天候の関係もあるので仕方がないのですが、すごく寒くてかつ砂浜見えない膝まで水につかっていて、天使の海を満喫することは出来ませんでした。

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>

I had a great time! 楽しめました♪

Reviewed by: ほーちゃん

We participated in a BBQ lunch plan with my husband and our 9-year-old child. We chose this plan because we started the morning leisurely and spent a long time at the sandbar.

At the sandbar, the shallowest area was about knee-deep for adults, and in the deeper parts, we could just barely touch the bottom. The water was clear, the scenery was beautiful, and our child was thrilled. After practicing snorkeling at the sandbar, we had hamburgers, and the staff entertained us during the meal, making it fun even on the boat. We also got to see sea turtles!

The snorkeling in the coral area was breathtaking with the beautiful corals and fish. Our child, who was told not to damage the corals, was so amazed by the water's clarity that they said, "I'm scared I might kick the coral!" (laughs). We got so caught up in it that we ended up feeling quite cold (laughs). After snorkeling, we enjoyed warm drinks. The sea made us feel chilly, and the wind added to the cold. Also, the bus ride to and from the location was cold, so a bath towel and long sleeves are a must.

子供(9歳)と旦那、私の3人で、BBQランチ付きプランに参加しました。
朝ゆっくりめで、サンドバーにいる時間も長かったので、このプランを選択。

サンドバーは、一番浅いところで大人の膝くらい、深いところでぎりぎり足が着くくらいでしたが、水も綺麗で、景色が素晴らしく子供も大喜びでした。
サンドバーでシュノーケルの練習をしたあと、ハンバーガーを食べましたが、ご飯の時もスタッフさん達がいろいろ楽しませてくれて、船の中でも楽しかったです。
海亀にも会えました♪
珊瑚地帯のシュノーケルでは、珊瑚とお魚達がとても美しく感動しました。
珊瑚は傷つけないように!と教えられた子供は、あまりの海の透明度に「珊瑚を蹴りそうで怖い((゚Д゚ll))」と言うほどでした(笑)。
夢中になりすぎて、身体が冷え冷えに(笑)。シュノーケルの後は温かい飲み物をいただきました。
海で身体が冷え+風で寒く感じます。また、行き帰りのバスが寒いので、バスタオル+長袖必須です。

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>

First snorkeling experience at the sandbar. 初めてのシュノーケリング@サンドバー。

Reviewed by: しろ。

I chose the plan with snacks.

Although the morning is a bit early, I can return by lunchtime, so even if I get a little tired, I can rest at the hotel and then go out again or spend my time freely.

I checked the tide schedule in advance and chose the best day during my stay to book. I think the water came up to about my knees to my waist. The feeling of standing over the vast sea with land far away was a rare experience that I don't usually get.

The snorkeling was just the right length for beginners, moving straight while glancing at the coral and turning back at a certain point, making it a very simple course.

You don't need to worry about "breathing" like in swimming, but the water is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom (and touching the coral can cause injury), so if you tend to feel anxious about not being able to grab onto something in an emergency, it's better to stay close to the staff. The staff is attentive and will quickly provide flotation devices to help if anything happens.

It was my first time snorkeling, and although it was brief, seeing the fish swimming with my own eyes was another valuable experience.

Lastly, although it's labeled as a sandwich, it's a simple one with ham and cheese between slices of bread, so don't expect something like the large hamburgers you might find locally.

スナック付きプランを選択しました。
朝は少し早いですが、お昼には帰って来れるので、ちょっと疲れてもホテルで休憩して、また外に出たり自由に過ごせます。

潮の満ち引きは一応事前に調べて、滞在期間中で一番良い日を選んで申し込みました。
膝上~腰下くらいまで水が来ていたと思います。
陸が遠くに見え、広い海の上に立っている感覚は普段得られない貴重な体験でした。

シュノーケリングは初めての人にちょうどよい短さで、珊瑚を横目に見ながらまっすぐに進み、ある地点で折り返す、といった至極単純コースになります。

水泳で言うところの、「息継ぎ」はしなくて良いのですが、足が着かないくらい深い(+珊瑚に触れるとケガする)ので、いざという時どこかにつかまったり出来ないことにすぐ不安を覚える人は、スタッフさんの側に居た方が安心です。
スタッフさんもよく見ているので、何かあったらすぐ浮く道具を寄越して助けてくれます。

シュノーケリングは初めてで、自分の目で魚たちが泳いでいるのを見れるのは、短い間でしたが、これまた貴重な体験でした。

最後に。サンドイッチと書かれていますが、食パンにハムとチーズを挟んだ程度の簡素なものなので、(現地の大きなハンバーガーのようなイメージとか)期待はしないように。

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience

Amazing experience!!!

Reviewed by: Cali

The crew of knowledgable marine biologist/safety made swimming with out a shark cage very do-able! I would absolutely do it again! It was less scary than sky diving!

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>

The Sandbar is worth a visit. サンドバー一見の価値あり

Reviewed by: カズファミリー

The sandbar has clear water and no waves, making it enjoyable for couples and families with children. We were advised to snorkel barefoot (probably because flip-flops would come off), and while swimming over the coral, we got a bit cut on our feet due to the crowded area. I recommend wearing marine shoes if possible. Since this is overseas, it's at your own risk. The round-trip bus to the sandbar can be cold, so I suggest bringing a long-sleeved jacket and a bath towel since you'll be returning wet. You can see fish and turtles up close, which is a lot of fun. The female staff were very cheerful and hardworking, making the experience enjoyable. The local staff were also bright and friendly. I think it's a great place for children, adults, individuals, couples, and families to enjoy.

サンドバーは水もきれいで波もなくカップル、子供連れでも楽しめます。
素足でシュノーケリングをするように言われ(ビーチサンダルだと脱げてしまうからだと思います。)サンゴの上を泳いで私たちは前がつまっていてサンゴで足を少し切ってしまいました。
出来たらマリンシューズの着用をお勧めします。
海外なので自己責任です。
サンドバーまでの往復のバスが寒いので長袖の上着、濡れたまま帰るのでバスタオルをお持ちすることをお勧めします。
魚や亀が身近に見られ楽しめます。スタッフの女性がすごく明るく一生懸命なので大変楽しかったです。
現地人スタッフも明るく良しです。
子供から大人、個人、カップル、家族で楽しめると思います。

I was able to see sea turtles multiple times. ウミガメに何回も会えました

Reviewed by: にょろろ

I have some experience with snorkeling in Hawaii, but this time I wanted to try going to the sandbar that often appears on TV, so I made a reservation. Since there were no morning slots available, I opted for the afternoon, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my waist at my height. In deeper areas, I couldn't touch the bottom, so I had to wear a life jacket, but the sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles quite closely. After that, we moved to a deeper area for snorkeling. Those who didn't want to snorkel stayed on the boat, but it didn't seem like they were bored, as it was interesting to watch. Compared to the tours I've participated in before, snorkeling wasn't the main focus, so I felt a bit unsatisfied, but the staff's explanations were clear, and it was evident that they were attentive to safety. As for food, shortly after boarding the boat, we were served freshly made malasadas, and the barbecue lunch was a buffet with salad, several types of meat, pineapple, rice, and chili beans. The meat and pineapple were especially delicious, and I ate a lot. Overall, the atmosphere was very Hawaiian and lively, and as older participants, we felt a bit out of place, but the guide mentioned that their children were already grown, which made me realize that age doesn't really matter. The boat didn't rock much, so I recommend this for those who want to relax in the sea but also want a bit of activity.

ハワイでシュノーケリングは何回か経験があるのですが、今回はTVによく出ている海の中のサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込みました。午前中はもう予約が空いてなかったので午後にしたのですが、残念ながら満潮で深さは小さい私の身長では腰のあたりまでありました。深い所では足がつかないので救命胴衣を着けながらでしたが、海はとてもきれいでウミガメもかなり間近で見られました。その後深めの所へ移動してシュノーケリングをしました。しない人は船に残っていましたが、そんなに長い時間ではなく見てるのも面白かったみたいで退屈ではなさそうでした。今まで参加してきたツアーに比べるとシュノーケリングはメインではないので少し物足りなかったですが、スタッフの方々の説明はわかりやすく安全にも配慮していることがうかがわれました。食べ物は船に乗ると間もなく出来立てのマラサダが配られていただけるのと、バーベキューランチはサラダ、お肉が数種類、パイナップル、ごはん、チリビーンズなどのブフェで、お肉とパイナップルが特においしくてたくさん食べました。全体的にハワイらしく盛り上げる雰囲気で年齢の少し行っている私たちはちょっと気おくれしていましたが、ガイドさんもお子さんがもう大きいという話だったので、年齢は関係ないんだなと感心しました。船もあまり揺れないので、のんびり海に入りたいけどちょっとアクティブにもしたい、という方にお勧めです。

I think it would have been amazing... but will not know as we were not able to attend. I need to find a phone number to call to request a refund as I paid a lot of money for 6 of us.

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日/水中写真付き>

So much fish!! 魚がいっぱい!!

Reviewed by: ドリー

We participated as a family of three, including my fifth-grade son. It was his first time snorkeling, and he was a bit nervous, but the female guide called the day before to confirm and explained how to use the equipment in a way that was easy for children to understand, so we were able to participate with peace of mind. She held my son's hand while swimming the whole time. There was a line to watch the video before entering the ocean, but we didn't have to wait. The trolley that went back and forth on the slope was also convenient.

On the day, I borrowed a wetsuit and swam, which helped with the temperature difference and prevented sunburn. The last time I swam without a guide, I had a terrible sunburn on my back... Unfortunately, we didn't see any turtles, but the guide worked hard to find them, and we saw more types of fish than when I went individually before, so I was satisfied. My son seemed to have a lot of fun and said it felt like he was inside a fish tank! He was happy and said he wanted to participate again. Thank you very much!

The dining information about Hawaii you provided on the way back was also helpful.

小5の息子も一緒の家族3人で参加しました。子供はシュノーケリングが初めてで少し緊張していましたが、ガイドの女性が前日に確認の電話を入れてくれたり、当日子供にもわかりやすい言葉で道具の使い方を説明してくださったので、安心して参加出来ました。子供とずっと手をつないで泳いでくださいました。海に入る前に見る映像で行列が出来ていましたが、私達は並ぶ必要がなかったです。坂を往復するトロリーも楽でした。
当日急遽ウエットスーツを借りて泳いだのですが、おかげで水温の差も日焼けもなくて良かったです。以前ガイドなしで泳いだ時は、背中の日焼けが大変でしたので‥。残念ながら亀は見れなかったのですが、ガイドの女性が一生懸命探してくれましたし、以前個人で行った時より多い種類の魚が見られましたから、満足です。子供はとても楽しかったらしく、水槽の中に入ったみたいだった!また参加したいと喜んでいました。ありがとうございました♫
帰りに教えていただいたハワイの食事情報もためになりました(^^)

Thank you for participating with your whole family! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed your first snorkeling experience. Hanauma Bay is truly a beautiful ocean where you can swim with a variety of fish. Please come back to see the fish of Hanauma again. I hope to show you the Honu next time. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!

ご家族皆様でのご参加、ありがとうございます!初めてのシュノーケリングをとても楽しんでいただけたようで私も嬉しいです。ハナウマ湾は本当に多くの種類のお魚達と一緒に泳げる綺麗な海です。また是非ハナウマのお魚達に会いに来てくださいね。次回はHonuをお見せできればと思っています。ありがとうございました。Mahalo!!
