I visited Sandbar for the first time this time, and it was beautiful. I've been to quite a few beautiful beaches in the Philippines, but Sandbar was fresh and beautiful in a different way. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii. The staff were friendly and nice as well. During the final sea turtle watch snorkeling, a sea turtle was swimming right below us. I got so caught up in it with my child. It was truly moving.
今回初めてサンドバーに行きましたがきれいでした。きれいな海はフィリピンでかなり行ってましたが、サンドバーは別な意味で新鮮できれいなところでした。またハワイに行ったら行きたいですね。スタッフも気さくでよかったです。最後のウミガメウオッチのシュノーケリングではウミガメが真下を泳いでいました。子供と一緒に夢中になっておっかけてしまいました。本当に感動しました。

We were able to land on the sandbar and see turtles. Although we were the only family with children, we felt a bit anxious, but they made arrangements for us to sit on the boat and took care of our kids for a short time during snorkeling, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling as a couple. I'm glad we participated.
サンドバーにも上陸できたし、亀も見れました。
子供連れが私達家族だけで少し不安でしたが、船上でも座れるように配慮してくださったり、シュノーケルの間、わずかな時間ですが子供をあやして見守っていてくださり、夫婦でシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。

It was unfortunate that the temperature was low and it rained the whole time, but I was super excited to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling! I was also able to watch it swim, and the barbecue for lunch was delicious♡ I want to try again on a nice day!!

This is a tour where you can experience the much-talked-about sandbar. The itinerary includes hotel → port → turtle watching → sandbar → snorkeling → lunch.
Even though I can't swim at all, I was able to fully enjoy the benefits of the life jacket on this tour. After swimming for a while, we had a simple meal on the boat, and the sandwiches were surprisingly delicious.
While snorkeling with tropical fish, kicking your legs is strictly prohibited. Not only does it stir up sand and make visibility poor, but it also cruelly kicks up the people behind you. If you don't move using just your hands, you might end up like me, with bruises on your face and injuries from your nails. For those participating, please make sure not to kick your legs!
各所で噂のサンドバー体験ができるツアーです。
ホテル→港→ウミガメウォッチ→サンドバー→シュノーケル→ランチといった流れのツアーになります。
まったく泳げない私ではありましたが、ライフジャケットの恩恵を存分に味わえるツアーでした。
ひとしきり泳いだ後の、船上での簡単な食事、サンドウィッチが食べれますが、非常に美味しく感じられました。
熱帯魚と泳ぐシュノーケルですが、バタ足は厳禁です。
砂塵が舞い見えなくなるどころか、後ろの人を無情にも蹴り上げまくります。
手だけで進まないと、私のように顔に青タンや爪による負傷者が続出します。
参加される方は、是非ともバタ足だけはしないようにしましょう。

My boyfriend saw some amazing sights while snorkelling and snuba-ing, including a turtle (see photo).

This was a great beach day at Kailua Beach! We were picked up by mini van right at our hotel and taken to a small plaza containing the water sports store sponsoring the activity. The people in the store were pleasant and showed us the lockers and gave us our vouchers for the included lunch. Also included was the use of boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach is a short walk from the plaza so keep in mind that you will need to carry things with you. Towels not included so be sure to bring your own! The beach itself is gorgeous and clean with that beautiful blue iridescent water! We set up shop under a tree and were happy there all day. There are facilities at the beach. While the food places were open at 10:00 AM, we chose to wait until 12:30 to eat. We opted for the pizza and drink. The pizza was the closest to true NY style we had in Hawaii...we were very impressed! It says one slice however the slice is actually a quarter of a very large pie and they cut it in two for you so it is two good sized slices! At the end of the day we headed back to the store and turned in our beach things we had borrowed and browsed the gift shop. A great day!
Thank you for your feedback, Mrs. D! We are so happy that you took advantage of our different options and had a great beach day here in Kailua. Mahalo!

This is a cozy tour guided by the friendly couple, Dan and Chieko. We participated as a group of five, from my 64-year-old mother-in-law down to our 7-year-old son. There was also another family of four, making a total of nine people on the tour. From the moment we were picked up to the time we were dropped off, we felt their constant care and attention. During the main snorkeling activity, the experienced guides ensured that everyone in the group had a great time, and they especially stayed close to my mother-in-law, allowing her to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. Although we didn't encounter any turtles, the hospitality we experienced made this tour feel worth more than the price we paid. I believe that snorkeling can vary depending on the weather and time of day, so you might not see everything you hope for, but I think it's worth participating.
They also manage valuables securely, which is reassuring. As others have mentioned in their experiences, they upload photos taken during the tour to Facebook, so you can get pictures without needing to bring an underwater camera.
Thank you, Dan and Chieko!
ダンさんちえこさんの仲良し夫婦が案内してくれるアットホームなツアーです。
上は64歳の妻の母から下は7歳の息子まで5人で参加しました。他には家族4人で参加しているグループと計9人でのツアーでした。迎えの車の中から帰りの送迎の間まで常に私たちに心遣いをしてくれていることが感じられるツアーでした。メインのシュノーケリングではベテランガイドらしくグループのすべての人たちが楽しめるよう気遣っていただき、特に妻の母にはほぼつきっきりでいてくださり安心してシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。カメに合うことはできませんでしたが、おもてなしの心遣いが感じられることで、値段以上の価値を感じられるツアーです。シュノーケリングは天候や時間帯により見えるものは違うので思ったものが見えない可能性はあると、思いますが参加して損はないと思います。
貴重品管理もしっかりしていて安心できます。他の人も体験談で書いておられる通り現地で撮った写真をfacebookでアップしてくれるので水中カメラを持参しなくても写真を入手できます。

Waking up early was worth it.
I was able to swim with a large pod of wild dolphins and even with false killer whales. The captain was flexible and extended our time by about an hour, and we were also able to do activities like stand-up paddleboarding.
There were many people who got seasick, so I think it's a good idea to take motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.
朝は早いですが、早起きして頑張って行った甲斐がありました。
野生のイルカの大群、そしてオキゴンドウとも泳ぐことが出来ました。
船長さんが臨機応変に移動してくださり、1時間ほど延長しましたが、SUP等もできました。

The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy... Our first trip to Hawaii! Leaving our eldest and second daughter in Japan, it was a trip for just the four of us: Dad, Mom, our eldest son, and our youngest daughter.
Being a sporty family, we first got hooked on beach volleyball, and while Dad took photos, there was a flurry of high-fives between us! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious—though we tried to recreate them at home and were disappointed that they didn't taste the same.
Seeing sea turtles up close had our high school senior son and middle school junior daughter in a frenzy! This two-shot at the beach was also refreshing!
Dad and Mom are determined to live long lives! We definitely want to go back again. Nature is amazing. The only downside was that the round-trip bus took way too long to arrive.

On this day, there were many clouds, and they were reflected on the water's surface, but I was still able to observe a lot of sea turtles. The sandbar is not completely dry land, but it feels very strange to think that there is a shallow area about ankle-deep offshore. The mountains of Kualoa Ranch visible from the sandbar were very beautiful and left me in awe.
この日は雲が多くて水面に雲が映っていましたが、それでもウミガメをたくさん観察できました。
サンドバーは完全な陸地ではありませんが、沖に足首くらいの浅瀬があると思うととても不思議な感じです。サンドバーから見えるクアロア牧場の山がとても綺麗で感激しました。

We boarded a large bus at the Sheraton Waikiki bus center and set off. As expected from a popular tour, the bus was nearly full. It was a comfortable ride towards Kaneohe. Since it was early in the morning, I thought I would try to sleep, but I found myself captivated by the beautiful scenery outside the window until we arrived. We then boarded a nearly motionless boat from the port and set off. On the way to the sandbar, we enjoyed some sea turtle watching. The turtles peeked their heads out from the beautiful emerald green sea, and each time, there were cheers of excitement.
Upon arriving at the sandbar, we took a stroll towards it with our cameras in hand. Everyone enjoyed taking photos, and after a while, we returned to the boat to drop off our cameras and put on our snorkeling gear to head back to the sandbar. We had a great time snorkeling there.
After encountering many fish, we returned to the boat, where delicious sandwiches and drinks were waiting for us. The boat smoothly made its way to Kaneohe Bay.
I truly had a wonderful time in the beautiful sea. Thank you very much.

We went as a family of four, including two elementary school children.
The water level at the sandbar was just below waist height. Honestly, I was quite disappointed because I had imagined the sand would be more exposed. That said, the weather was nice, and the clear water and white sand were beautiful.
After returning home, I did some research and found that various conditions are needed for the sand to be exposed, so it seems to depend on luck and timing. I feel there should be a bit more communication that it’s not guaranteed the sand will be visible!
The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers made with patties grilled on the boat. It might be clearer to call it a BBQ hamburger. There was quite a line, so it took a long time, but that’s understandable. We were able to see 2-3 sea turtles during the sea turtle watch, and the kids were satisfied. It was unfortunate that it started to drizzle during snorkeling, and the water became dim. After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I recommend bringing a change of clothes.
Since the rain intensified, I wonder if we returned to the dock early... We were unsure which bus to take and whether any buses were even coming. There was no one to explain, so we had to ask all the drivers. In the end, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive. It was quite comical to see everyone wandering around in the light rain without umbrellas. I think everyone would feel more at ease if they could come to pick us up with a bit more time to spare. Therefore, I give it ★★★.
小学生の子供2人を含めた家族4人で行きました。
サンドバーの海面は腰よりちょっと下くらいでした。
砂が顔を出しているイメージだったのでかなりガッカリしたのが正直な感想です。
とはいえ、お天気も良かったので透き通る海面と白い砂は綺麗でした。
帰国してからいろいろ調べましたが砂が顔を出すのはいろいろな条件が必要な様で
まさに運とタイミングみたいですね。
必ず砂面が見えるとは限らない!ということをもう少しアナウンスがあっても良いと感じてます。
BBQランチは船上で焼いたハンバーグを使ったハンバーガーでした。
BBQハンバーガーと書いた方がわかりやすいのでは。
行列になっていたのでかなり時間がかかりましたがこれは仕方ないですね。
海ガメウオッチは2~3頭見ることが出来子供たちも満足していました。
シュノーケリングの頃から小雨が降り出し、海面も薄暗くなってしまったのは残念でした。
海から上がった後は震える程寒く、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。
雨も激しくなってきたので早めに岸壁に戻ったのでしょうか…。
どのバスに乗るのか…そもそもバスが来ているのか…
説明してくれる人も居らず、全てのドライバーさんに聞いて周りました。
結局は迎えのバスが来るまで20分ほど時間がありました。
誰も傘を持っていない中、戸外で小雨に濡れながら全員が右往左往している姿はまさに滑稽でした。
余裕をもってお迎えに来てもらえると皆安心出来ると思います。
よって、★三つです。

My long-awaited visit to Hanauma Bay. We were blessed with beautiful weather, and the sunlight streaming into the water made it incredibly clear. There were so many fish swimming around. All that was left was to encounter a honu (sea turtle), but unfortunately, we missed out on that.
From the hotel pickup, everything went smoothly thanks to Chieko-san's assistance. If we had gone on our own, I think we would have struggled with the entry process, watching the pre-entrance video, and taking the tram. Most importantly, the guide adjusted the course based on the participants' conditions. The hour flew by.
Even with my 50-year-old stamina, I managed to last the hour. For my daughter, who has swimming experience (6th grade), it was a piece of cake. However, the father of the American family accompanying us seemed to lack stamina and got out shortly after we started snorkeling.
After we finished, they provided water and snacks, and I was very grateful for their thoughtful attention. The male guide leading us took many photos for us. It’s okay if you don’t have an underwater camera; you can download the photos later, so you can keep those memories.
念願であったハナウマ湾。晴天に恵まれ、光の差し込む海中がとてもきれいでした。魚は、これでもかというほどたくさんいます。あとはホヌとの遭遇です。私たちは、運悪くダメでした。
ホテルのピックアップから、チエコさんのお世話で、段取りよく進みます。個人で行くと、入場のあと、事前のビデオを見たり、トラムに乗ったりと結構手間取っていたと思います。何よりガイドが、参加者の様子を見ながら、コースを決めてくれます。1時間、あっという間でした。
50歳のおじさん(私)の体力でも、1時間なんとかもちました。スイミング経験者である娘(小6)にとっては楽勝です。ただ、同行のアメリカ人家族のお父さんは体力不足のためか、シュノーケル開始後すぐに上がってしまいました。
上がった後は、水やおやつを出してくれて、細やかな気配りに、感謝するばかりです。先導する男性ガイドが、何度も写真を撮ってくれました。水中カメラを持っていなくてもOKです。後日、ダウンロードできるので、思い出が残せます。

We participated as a group of 12 people, including six children (three aged 5 and three elementary school students) and six adults from three families. Our family used this service for the second consecutive year! Due to the large number of participants, we split into two boats: one with mostly Japanese passengers and the other with a mix of foreigners and a few Japanese. Based on the children's request, we boarded the boat with more foreigners. However, there were also Japanese guides, and the announcements were made separately for Japanese and foreigners, with us receiving information in Japanese.
We departed from the hotel at 9:00 AM, and thanks to the good timing of the tides, there were spots at the sandbar where the 5-year-olds could stand, and they had a great time with the floaties. The adults set up a court with poles right there, and we played beach volleyball. During the sea turtle watching, we spotted several turtles, and those who entered the water early encountered a large resting turtle very close to the entry point! It seemed to swim away after some noise, so those who entered later missed it, but those who saw it were lucky. We were able to float and observe the turtle for several minutes right above it! It might be better to prepare for snorkeling early to increase your chances. They also provided free rental vests, fins, and snorkels for the kids, which was convenient.
We brought our own floaties, but there were also several floating tubes available on the boat that we used (the 5-year-old was taken with a floatie, vest, and floating tube to see the sea turtles). During snorkeling, there were areas with a depth of several meters, and since it was all coral, there were no areas where you could stand. The distance from the boat to the coral area where the turtles were was about 10 meters, so as long as the children are not afraid of deep water, they should be fine. There were also many beautiful small fish. I think it would be better to change clothes before getting on the return bus since it can be cold. We brought one rental beach towel for each child from the hotel, which was a good decision. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious! The beer we had on the boat after swimming (additional charge, settled upon disembarking) was also excellent. We used the same tour for two consecutive years, and we were fully satisfied as we could feel the essence of Hawaii!
5-10才までの子ども6人(5才3人小学生3人)、大人6人計3家族12人のグループで参加しました。小生家族は昨年に続き2年連続の利用です!人数が多かったため日本人ばかりの船と、外国人+日本人少しの船に別れ、子どものリクエスト!により外人が多い方に乗船しました。といっても、ガイドは日本人の方もいて、途中案内は日本人外人別々に、我々には日本語で行って頂けました。朝9:00ホテル発でしたが潮のタイミングが良く、サンドバーでは5才の子ども達も立つことが出来るような場所もあり、浮き輪で充分楽しめました。大人はその場でポールを立ててコートを作ってくれたので、ビーチバレーで遊びました。ウミガメウオッチでは何匹かのカメを発見、シュノーケリングでは早くに海に入った人が、エントリーポイントすぐ近くにいたかなりでかいお休み中のカメに遭遇!途中で騒がしかったのか泳いで行ってしまい、後から入った人は見れませんでしたが見れた人はラッキーでした。数分間は休んでいるカメの真上でぷかぷか浮きながら観察できました!早めにシュノーケリングの準備をして入った方がチャンスがあるのかも。子供用のベスト、フィン、シュノーケルも無料で貸して頂けたので便利でした。浮き輪も持参しましたが、浮き輪代わりの浮くチューブは何本も船に用意してありそれも利用しました(5才児は浮き輪+ベスト+浮くチューブで連れて行きウミガメを見せることができました。シュノーケリングの時は水深数メートルのところもある上、サンゴばかりで立つことが出来るエリアはありません。船からサンゴエリア・ウミガメのいたところまで10mほどでしたので、水と深いのが怖くなければ子どもも大丈夫だと思います。きれいな小さな魚もたくさんいました)。帰りのバスは寒いので着替えてから乗車した方が良いと思います。ホテルのプール用のレンタルバスタオルを子どもの分も1人1枚持参しましたが正解でした。昼食のハンバーガーは美味しかったです!泳ぎ終わった後、船の上で飲んだビール(別料金、下船時に精算)も最高でした。2年続けて同じツアーを利用しましたがハワイらしさを感じることができ、充分満足でした!

I participated in the same tour five years ago, but unfortunately, the weather was bad, so I decided to try again this time. This time, we were blessed with good weather and had a wonderful time! The blue sea, the blue sky, and I was able to see about three sea turtles up close multiple times! I'm glad I went for the revenge tour♪ I recommend participating for anyone going to Hawaii!
5年前にも同じツアーに参加したのですが、運悪く天気が悪かったので今回リベンジしました。
今回は天候にも恵まれ楽しい時間を過ごすことができました!
青い海、青い空、海ガメも3頭くらい、何度も身近で見ることができました!
リベンジしてよかったです♪
ハワイに行かれる方は参加することをオススメします!
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Revenge. This time, you were able to encounter the blue sea, blue sky, and even a lucky sea turtle. I'm really glad to hear that. Please come visit us again when you're in Hawaii! Mahalo!

今回は青い海&青い空そして幸運のウミガメにも遭遇出来たんですね。本当に良かったです。

The weather in Kaneohe is very changeable, so it depended on the weather. It would have been more enjoyable if the sunny weather had lasted longer, but it got cold when it was cloudy... However, I was glad to see the clear ocean and the honu (sea turtles).
カネオヘの天気はすごく変わりやすいので天気次第でした。
晴れがずっと続いたらもっと楽しかったんですが、曇ると寒い…
でも、澄んだ海やホヌが見れたので、よかったです。
