It was just the two of us participating. I remembered a woman I met in Hawaii who told me that I should definitely visit the sandbar, which led me to decide to join this tour.
It was the right choice!
The scenery during the round trip between the hotel and the port was wonderful, and I was able to see many sea turtles. The sandwiches on the boat were delicious, and I was very satisfied.
I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medication beforehand, but the boat was large and the waves were calm, so I might not have needed it. I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen thoroughly.
友人と二人での参加でした。
以前ハワイで知り合った女性にサンドバーには一度は行ってご覧なさいと言われていた事を思い出しこのツアーへの参加を決めました。
正解でした!
ホテルと港の往復の景色もすばらしかったし、海がめも沢山見ることができたし、船上でのサンドイッチも美味しくて大満足でした。
乗り物酔いしやすい私は酔い止めをのんでおきましたが船も大きく波も静かだったので飲まなくてもよかったかも。
日焼け止めは念入りに付けたほうが良いと思いました

However, a 50-minute delay is a bit much.
I wonder if people in Hawaii are just laid-back.

I participated in a tour with lunch on September 26 (local time). The guide on the shuttle bus spoke English, and we had a fun (though a bit noisy) time until we arrived at the port. From the port to the sandbar, our guide "Miho" kept us entertained with her enjoyable microphone performance until we returned. "Yuki" took some great photos of us (like making heart shapes with our hands and holding hands, as well as shots from behind). I heard there are days when you can't see sea turtles, but that day we were able to see 6 or 7, which was amazing. We enjoyed a paradise-like experience with lunch (freshly grilled hamburgers) and beer at the sandbar. After a break, we moved to the snorkeling spot, and snorkeling among the coral reefs was truly breathtaking. It was my first time going to Hawaii with my wife after 21 years of marriage, and it was the best experience. We went on this trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and the arrival of our first grandchild (by the way, I'm still only 44). I want to go back many more times. Next time, I want to bring my son, daughter, and all my grandchildren. Thank you for the precious experience and memories.
9月26日(現地時間)の昼食付きのツアーに参加しました、送迎バスのなかでは案内人の方が英語でしたが楽しく(少しうるさい)過ごし港に到着、港からサンドバーまでは案内人の「みほ」さんがとても楽しいマイクパフォーマンスで帰るまで楽しませてくれました、「ゆき」さんが撮ってくれる写真(夫婦で手でハートマークや手をつないでや、後ろ姿など)もすごく良かったです、海がめも見れない日があるらしいのですがその日は6、7匹見る事ができ感動、サンドバーで昼食(焼きたてハンバーガー)とビールで楽園気分満喫、休憩後シュノーケリング場所へ移動、珊瑚礁のなかのシュノーケリングは感動の一言でした、結婚して21年で初めて家内と二人でハワイに行きましたが最高でした、今回の旅行は結婚20年記念と初孫ができたお祝いで行きましたが(ちなみにまだ44歳です)、また何回も行きたいです。次回は息子、娘、孫みんな連れて行きたいです、貴重な体験と感動ありがとうございました。

I chose this tour because my stay was longer compared to others. The beach is close, but it takes about 20 minutes on foot to get to Kailua Town, so I think it's better to rent a bike if you're going to Kailua Town. However, if you relax on the beach for about an hour, you might only have time to visit the Kailua Shopping Center and Whole Foods. If you want to enjoy Kailua Town without engaging in sea activities and just take a stroll on the beach, I think it's better to use a bus or other means of transportation instead of an optional tour. This tour is not one that provides recommendations like "especially this is recommended" or "the view from here is great," so it's better to think of it as a tour that includes transportation, coin lockers, mat rentals, and lunch. Kailua Beach was very beautiful.
滞在時間がほかに比べて長かったためこちらのツアーに申し込みました。ビーチまでは近いのですが、カイルアタウンまでは徒歩で20分くらいかかるので、カイルアタウンに行く場合は自転車のレンタルを利用したほうがよいと思います。ただビーチで1時間ほどのんびりしてしまうとカイルアショッピングセンターとホールフーズくらいしか行くことができません。海のアクティビティはせずに、ビーチは散策程度でカイルアタウンを楽しみたいという方はオプショナルツアーではなくバスなどを利用したほうがよいと思います。このツアーは「特にここがおススメ」「ここからの眺めがいい」とか、案内をしてくれるツアーではありませんので、移動手段+コインロッカー+ゴザレンタル+ランチがついたツアーと思ったほうがよいです。カイルアビーチはとてもきれいでした。

Our family did the private boat charter when on vacation in Oahu just a couple of weeks ago, after booking from the Internet and just hoping we would get a tour that we would not forget. We were not disappointed at all, not realizing this company catered largely for Japanese tourists we were so impressed with our charter. Our captain was just so friendly and informative and made us feel very welcome and was great fun too. We will certainly be coming back again one day and booking another charter and would highly recommend to anyone that wants to treat themselves to something special and spoil themselves on a captain Bruce charter. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

There were similar tours available, but I participated because a friend recommended it. I don't think the experience is the same every time due to seasonal variations, so it's a tour I would like to experience multiple times. Next time, I want to join a different tour for comparison.

The tour we participated in during our family's trip to Hawaii in September was the "All Hawaii Cruise: Angel's Sea." The heavenly sea, famous in Hawaii, was a place I had always wanted to visit! I was particularly looking forward to it during this trip.
However, on the day of the tour, I was expecting a beautiful view at the sandbar where the sand completely emerges in the middle of the ocean, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable that day. As a result, we could only get off the boat when the water receded to knee height, and it was very cold due to the bad weather, but there was nothing we could do about it!
At the snorkeling point, we were able to swim with many fish. Since there are many deep areas where you can't touch the bottom, it's better for those who are not confident in swimming to borrow a life jacket.
During the cruising, we saw sea turtles, and the hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious, as they grilled the meat over charcoal.
Be careful about the weather when going to the heavenly sea!
私たち家族が9月に行ったハワイで参加したツアーが、
【オールハワイクルーズ 天使の海】です。
ハワイの海でも有名で一度は行きたいと思っていた天国の海!
念願かなって今回の旅行の中でも特に楽しみにしていました。
しかし、当日は海の真ん中に砂が完全に浮き出るサンドバーで美しい光景を期待していましたが、残念ながらこの日だけ天候に恵まれませんでした。
そのため膝あたりまでしか水が引かない時に降りたのと、天気も悪くとても寒かったですが、それはもうしょうがないと思うしかありません!
シュノーケリングのポイントではたくさんの魚たちと泳ぐことが出来ました。
海の中は足がつかない深い地点が多いので、泳ぎが不安な方は救命道具を貸してもらったほうが良いです。
クルージングはウミガメが見れたし、船で食べたハンバーガーはお肉を炭火で焼いてくれてとっても美味しかったです。
天国の海に行くときは天気に気を付けましょう!

I went on a sandbar tour. This tour was filled with Japanese people. There were about 30 participants on the day I joined. The staff seemed quite experienced.
I heard that it’s also used for gravure photo shoots, and the color of the sea is beautiful, an emerald hue. However, since we all walked together on the sandbar, it felt like there wasn’t much of a private atmosphere. That was a bit disappointing.
Overall, the sea is very beautiful, so it's nice, but I think it may not be suitable for those who want a sense of privacy. (For reference)

I participated in the Angel's Sea Sandbar Cruise. The sea was incredibly beautiful! Due to the tides, it wasn't the perfect sandy beach you often see in photos, but the water was about knee-deep, and sitting in it felt like enjoying a half-body bath. It felt luxurious to be able to sit in the sea and look out at the ocean in 360 degrees, even though we were offshore.
Above all, the warm and delicious hamburger after playing in the sea was exceptional! Also, after snorkeling, they provided hot drinks to warm us up, and the sweet hot chocolate was the best. The only downside was that the time spent seeing the sea turtles was shorter than I expected.

何よりも、海ではしゃいだ後の温かいおいしいハンバーガーは格別でした☆☆ また、シュノーケルの後には冷えた体を暖めてくれるホットドリンクも用意してくれて、甘いホットチョコレートは最高でした。

I was really looking forward to Heaven's Sea.
Perhaps because there were so many participants, we were divided into several groups on boats to get to Heaven's Sea, but for some reason, we had to wait a really long time. It seemed like there were too few boats available, and the wait to get on a returning boat was just too long, which took away the excitement.
Moreover, the wind was really strong, and since we had to stand the whole time, it was cold.
As for Heaven's Sea itself, it was fairly beautiful, but I didn't feel that much excitement about it. The water wasn't particularly clear, and there weren't a lot of fish.
The only good thing was that there were sea turtles near the pier, and we got to see them up close!
I think it would be better to check the tide schedule before participating.
すごく楽しみにしてた天国の海。
参加人数が多かったのか、ボートで何組にか分かれて、天国の海まで行くのですが、なぜだかとーっても待たされた。
確保してるボートが少ないのか、岸に帰ってくるボートに乗れるまでの時間が長すぎて、わくわく度がなくなってしまった。
しかも風がすごく吹いていて立ちっぱなしだから、寒いし。
肝心の天国の海は、まあまあ綺麗でした。そこまでの感動はなかったなあ。
海が澄んでいるわけでもないし、お魚がいっぱいいるわけでもないし。
唯一良かったのは、桟橋の付近にウミガメが棲みついていて、間近で見れたこと!
潮の満ち引きをチェックして参加するのが、良いと思われます。

It seems that the dolphins were a bit nervous because a baby had just been born, so I was able to see them from the boat, but it looks like the people swimming couldn't see them.
My daughter said she was disappointed about not seeing the dolphins, but she was moved when she saw the sea turtles.
That said, the staff were really fun and felt like family!

The tour we participated in was something that my daughters went on about a week ago and were very impressed by. Hearing this, my husband and I eagerly joined, believing without a doubt that we would get to see dolphins. The tour description did mention that since it involves nature, there are rare occasions when you might not see them. However, we didn't see a single dolphin, and only a few fish. I was really disappointed to see such a big difference from what we expected. We did receive a half-price voucher for the next time, but I don't think we'll participate for a while.
That said, the performance of the staff was very good.
私たちが参加したこのツアーは、娘たちが、一週間ほど前に行って、感激したものでした。この話を聞いた私と主人は もう疑いなくイルカに会えるものだと、意気込んでの参加でした。ツアーの説明には、自然が相手の物なので、会えないことも稀にある旨のことは、もちろん書いてありましたが。本当に一頭のイルカとも会えず、魚もほんの少し。その時々で、こんなに違うものか、と、本当にがっかりしました。次回半額券はいただきましたが、しばらくは、参加できないと思います。

The sandbar is affected by the tides, so when I actually went there, the water reached up to my thighs, and I couldn't enjoy the beautiful sandy beach like in the photos. However, looking around, I could see the distant Kualoa Ranch and the endless blue ocean. It felt nice to be surrounded by nature, which was a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. The malasada and the lunch I had on the boat were also delicious.

This was my fifth time swimming with dolphins. This time, I participated in "Private Dolphin Junior High" for the second time. Just like last time, I was able to encounter many pods of dolphins. Moreover, since it was the birthing season, we also met several baby dolphins. Their earnest jumping was very adorable and entertained us.
Additionally, while we were returning to the harbor, six dolphins swam alongside our boat for over five minutes. This was truly the best part. The tour guide was also very pleasant, which made it even better. The food and drinks kept coming, making it a tour filled with happiness.

It started to rain as soon as we got on the bus from the hotel, and I was feeling a bit defeated because I really wanted to see the beautiful ocean sandbar... However, by the time we boarded the boat, a little blue sky started to appear, and after about 10 minutes, we arrived at the sandbar. As we stepped off, the sun came out, revealing the white sandbar! The beautiful scenery I had seen in books was right in front of me. Interestingly, this place was not known in Japan until about two years ago, and it has been used for filming movies and music videos. Although it felt a bit chilly due to the wind, I was glad to see the sea turtles swimming and that the weather cleared up.
ホテル迎えからバスに乗ったくらいから雨が降りだし、どうしても綺麗な海のサンドバーを見たかったのでツイテナイ・・・と諦めモードでした。。。船に乗る頃には少し青空が見えてきて、10分ほどしてサンドバーに着いて下り立つと太陽が射し白いサンドバーが表れてきました!本で見たあの綺麗な景色が目の前にそのまんまです。何とこの場所は2年くらい前まで日本では知られていなかったそうで、映画やPVの撮影にも使われたそうです。。風があったので肌寒く感じましたが、ウミガメの泳ぎも見れ晴れてくれたので良かったです。

I had been wanting to go for a long time, but this time I finally decided to participate. The reason I hadn't joined before was probably due to cost... I had been settling for cheaper Kailua Beach tours instead. However, after going this time, I was convinced that the price was worth it. The ocean was beautiful, and I saw several sea turtles; it truly was the best location. Our guide, Yukiko, was a fun and wonderful person, and I had an enjoyable half-day. Since I didn't go snorkeling, the half-day course was sufficient for me, but I recommend the lunch-inclusive course for those who want to fully enjoy snorkeling.
以前から行きたいとは思っていましたが今回思い切って参加しました。なぜ今まで参加しなかったかと言うと費用の問題かな・・・もっとお安いカイルアビーチツアーなどでお茶を濁していたと言うことです。然し今回行って見てこのお値段でも納得がいきました。海も綺麗だし海がめも何匹も見れたしやはり最高のロケーションでした。ガイドのゆきこさんも楽しい素敵な方でしたし楽しい半日を過ごせました。一緒に参加した私もシュノーケリングをしなかったため半日コースで十分でしたがシュノーケリングを存分に楽しみたい方はランチ付きのコースをお勧めします。

We paid $100 each for four of us expecting to enjoy some unique snorkeling from 9 - 1 pm with lunch provided. The two man crew was friendly, however, we were taken to a beach that we had passed on the drive to the snorkel. We didn't see much of anything and the people on the beach were snorkeling with us. We were provided a sandwich and a beverage on the way back but no cookies or fruit as described in their listing. Also, no sails up either way and we were traveling so fast on the return that we arrived at 12:15 instead of 1 pm. Others on this trip expressed disappointment as well. The consensus of my family was that it was a very expensive boat ride. I wouldn't do this snorkel again and I don't recommend it. Low value for big price. Shark tank adventure was much better from same bay.

At the end of August, my parents, my husband and I, and our two children (a fourth grader and a kindergartner) were taken care of. My kindergartner daughter is not good with water and cannot swim at all, but a kind Japanese staff member encouraged her gently, and she seemed to get motivated. She put on a mask and peeked into the sea for just a moment. She said the coral reef looked creepy and quickly came back up, but after a break, she wanted to go back in again. While I was in the water, the staff helped tie her hair and put on her mask, and she made another attempt.
They were very considerate of the children, and I think we were able to relax.
For lunch, we went to the neighboring boat to get our food, and they also offered us more fruit, which the kids happily ate. We even encountered a sea turtle, and we enjoyed a delicious hamburger lunch.
We had a very enjoyable time. Thank you very much.

There was only one turtle, but a friendly turtle that lives there came close to me. I was surprised to learn that touching it incurs a fine of over $2,500! It was moving to see a sea turtle up close like this! It was large and majestic, matching the beautiful scenery perfectly. The kids were also thrilled! The lunch portion was decent, and I was satisfied. Above all, the sea was beautiful!
1頭だけだったのですが、住みついている人懐こいカメが寄ってきます。触ると2500ドル以上の罰金というので、びっくり!こんなに近くでウミガメを見れたのは感動!大きくて雄大で、きれいな景色にマッチしていました。子供も感激!ランチもそれなりに量もあり、満足でした。何と言っても海がきれい!
