I participated with my family of four: my second-grade daughter, my preschool son, my husband, and myself. It rained the entire time we were in Honolulu, but during this angelic sea tour, it was sunny (though there were a few light showers), and we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful sandbar.
The water at the sandbar was about waist-deep for adults, but it was shallow enough for the kids to stand, which made it safe. We played by floating with our inner tubes and snorkeling to peek into the sea. The water was incredibly clear and beautiful.
At one point, we caught a whiff of delicious grilled meat! My son raved that the hamburger and boiled beans for lunch were the best he had ever tasted!
After that, we went on a sea turtle search! We were able to see several sea turtles surfacing for air, and we even encountered a manta ray!
For the final snorkeling around the coral, my daughter and I participated! The wind was strong, and we were swept by the waves, but with some help, we discovered a sea turtle's resting spot and saw octopuses and fish as well.
We were even treated to drinks and snacks, allowing both of our kids to have a great time.
小2の娘と、年少の息子と夫と私の家族4人で参加しました。ホノルル滞在中、ずーっと雨でしたが、この天使の海のツアー中だけは晴れて(多少、小雨の時もあったけど)、綺麗なサンドバーを満喫できました。
サンドバーは、大人の腰くらいまでは水があったのですが、子供も足がつくので安心。浮き輪つけて浮かんだり、海の中をシュノーケルで覗いたりして遊びました。とにかく海の水が透明できれいでした。
途中から、お肉を焼いてるいい匂い〜!!息子はこのお昼ご飯のハンバーガーと煮豆が一番美味しかった!と大絶賛でした。
その後は海亀探し!海亀の息継ぎを何匹も見れて、なんとマンタにまで遭遇できました。
最後の珊瑚の周りのシュノーケルは、娘と私で参加!風が強くて波に流されたりしましたが、助けてもらって、海亀の寝床を発見したり、タコとかお魚も見れました。
飲み物や、お菓子までおもてなししていただき、子供2人とも楽しく過ごすことができました。
Once you get wet, it becomes cold, so having a towel or a hoodie that you can throw on is useful.
一回濡れると寒くなるので、羽織れるタオルやパーカーなどがあると使えます。

I imagined it would be very crowded, but it was actually quite comfortable. If you arrive early in the morning, you can enjoy the breathtaking views all to yourself. It wasn't that far from Waikiki.
とても混んでいると想像していたがとっても快適。朝一で到着すれば絶景独り占め。ワイキキからでしたがそんなに遠くありませんでした。
I recommend checking the area in advance for beginner snorkeling.

Wonderful female captain Hosanna and her crew with tons of experience and warm personalities. We went in November 2025- so many turtles and sealife, great play equipment and knowledgeable crew willing to help ensure our baby girl had a great time, the transportation from Waikiki to the boat launch was clutch! So great all around! And spam masubi and snacks on the boat ride was icing on the cake! Highly recommend 10 out of 10!!
Bring sunscreen and for toddlers a thicker wetsuit makes the experience most enjoyable!
Thank you for joining our tour with your family. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience and appreciate your "10 out of 10" recommendation.

I recently visited Hanauma Bay using a tour from Veltra. Among the many tours available, the fact that they provide free transportation along with snorkeling masks and fins was a great deal and a key factor in my decision to participate.
Additionally, children under 12 and Hawaii residents can enter for free by showing an ID, making it a very accessible spot for families and locals. It's a place that is usually difficult to visit individually, but thanks to the tour, I was able to go there with peace of mind.
The water is mostly shallow, creating an environment where even snorkeling beginners can enjoy themselves without any difficulty. A friend who joined me, who has snorkeling experience in Okinawa's Miyako Island, was constantly amazed, saying, "The fish in Hawaii are just so big and impressive!"
Furthermore, Hanauma Bay has a limit on the number of visitors, so it doesn't feel crowded, and both the underwater scenery and the landscape are beautifully preserved. I was able to fully enjoy nature in a quiet and calm atmosphere, and it truly became an experience that made me think, "I definitely want to visit again."
Overall, I was very satisfied with both the service and the environment of the tour. I highly recommend this spot for creating memories in Hawaii.
このたびベルトラのツアーを利用してハナウマ湾を訪れました。
数あるツアーの中でも、送迎に加えてシュノーケルマスクとフィンが無料で利用できる点が大変お得で、参加の決め手となりました。
また、12歳以下のお子様とハワイ在住者は、IDを提示すれば入場料が無料になるため、家族連れや在住者にとっても非常に利用しやすいスポットだと感じました。普段は個人では訪れにくい場所ですが、ツアーのおかげで安心して向かうことができました。
海は浅瀬が中心で、シュノーケル初心者の方でも無理なく楽しめる環境が整っています。同行した友人(沖縄・宮古島でのシュノーケル経験あり)は、
「ハワイの魚はとにかく大きくて迫力がある!」と、終始感動しておりました。
さらに、ハナウマ湾は人数制限が設けられているため、混雑感がなく、水中も景観もとても美しく保たれています。静かで落ち着いた雰囲気の中で自然を満喫でき、心から「また必ず訪れたい」と思える体験となりました。
全体を通して、サービス内容・環境ともに大変満足度の高いツアーでした。ハワイでの思い出作りに、ぜひおすすめしたいスポットです。

It was easy to get to the departure point since it was just a short distance from Waikiki Beach. The boat was larger than I expected, and I didn't have to worry about seasickness. We were the only Japanese people on board, but I wasn't concerned about my broken English. Above all, it was amazing to see sea turtles and go snorkeling just about 20 minutes from the beach. The coffee and snacks provided on the boat were also delicious. The only downside was that other tour boats came to the same spot, so there were a few noisy groups around.
ワイキキビーチからすぐに出航するので移動が楽でした。船も予想より大きく、船酔いの心配もありません。日本人は私達だけでしたが、カタコトの英語でも心配ありません。何よりビーチから20分位でウミガメを見れてシュノーケリングが出来たのは感動です。船内で貰うコーヒーやスナックも美味しかったです。一つだけ難点は他のツアーの船も同じ場所に来るので、団体で騒がしい船がちらほらいました。

As a couple, it was our first time snorkeling and we were inexperienced with overseas travel, but a Japanese instructor came to pick us up in Waikiki. We were able to have fun conversations in the car, which made us feel at ease. Once we arrived at the location, the instructor patiently taught us everything, starting with how to wear the wetsuits.
We were taken to a spot where we could see sea turtles and had the wonderful experience of swimming alongside them! We also encountered beautiful schools of fish in Hawaii, and it was an amazing experience that we couldn't have had on our own! Additionally, the instructor took photos for us throughout the trip, allowing us to capture these memories perfectly, which we greatly appreciated!
夫婦共に初めてのシュノーケリングかつ不慣れな海外でしたが、日本人インストラクターの方がワイキキまで迎えにきてくださり、車内でも楽しくお話し出来て、安心して臨むことが出来ました。現地についてからはウェットスーツの着用方法から、全て丁寧に教えてくださいます。

To prevent cold and injuries from the water temperature, wearing a wetsuit is recommended! Also, for those who are prone to seasickness, I think taking motion sickness medication is essential.
水温による寒さや怪我を防ぐためにウエットスーツの着用がおすすめです!また波酔いしやすいかたは酔い止め必須だと思います。

The transportation and everything else was taken care of perfectly. It's reassuring that there is always someone who can speak Japanese, and there were plenty of turtles to see, so it felt like we had a turtle tour as well. 🤣
Meals and drinks were included, and there were plenty of activities besides snorkeling, which was great. On the bus ride there, they provided explanations of the tourist spots (in English, but it was simple enough to understand), so I think it's a good idea to go on the first day. ☺︎

Depending on the time of participation, a shuttle bus picks you up at the hotel at 9:30 in the morning, which was just right—not too early. There were participants from various nationalities, but the Japanese guide provided interpretation and was friendly while chatting on the boat, making it very reassuring and enjoyable.
The wetsuits are available for a fee, but wearing a free life jacket is mandatory. I think those who can swim should be fine without a suit. For small children, having a floatation device is comforting. The sea is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom at all, so it might be a bit scary for kids.
On the day we participated, it was somewhat windy, and some people experienced seasickness. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's a good idea to bring some medication.
On the way back, we encountered a pod of spinner dolphins and even saw a baby dolphin. According to the guide, they had worked at Dolphin University for two years and said, "There hasn't been a day when I didn't see them." The dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped, creating a special time with the wild dolphins that excited the children greatly.
参加時期によりますが、朝は9:30にホテルまでシャトルバスが迎えに来てくれ、早すぎずちょうど良かったです。さまざまな国籍の方が参加していましたが、日本人ガイドさんが通訳してくれたり、船の上でも気さくに話しかけてくれたりして、とても安心して楽しめました。
ウェットスーツは有料ですが、無料のライフジャケット着用が必須です。泳げる方はスーツなしでも問題ないと思います。小さなお子さんは浮き輪があると安心。海は足が全くつかない深さなので、子どもにとっては少し怖いかもしれません。
私たちが参加した日はやや風が強く、船酔いしてしまう方もいました。酔いやすい人は酔い止めを持参しておくと安心です。
帰り道ではハシナガイルカの群れに遭遇し、赤ちゃんイルカまで見られました。ガイドさんによると、2年間イルカ大学で働いていて「会えなかった日はない」とのこと。船と並走したりジャンプしたりと、野生のイルカと過ごす特別な時間に子どもも大興奮でした。
- Don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.
- It's great to have a floatation device for small children.
- Wet suits are available for rent on-site for a fee, so only those who need them shoul
・酔いどめを忘れずに。
・小さなお子さんは浮き輪があると◎
・ウェットスーツは有料なので、必要な人だけ現地レンタルでOK。
・予約表に記載時間=出発時間なので遅れないように注意!

For individuals, first, obtaining tickets is difficult. I tried twice at 7 AM when the online application opened, but there were many input fields, and within 10 minutes, it was sold out. I found this tour, which includes transportation and a snorkeling set, and signed up. The $25 entrance fee is not included, but if the tour is available, you can enter Hanauma Bay, so I recommend it. Previously, The Bus used to go close by, but it has now been discontinued, so you would need to rent a car or take a taxi, which means quite a bit of walking. This tour, which takes you to the entrance, is highly recommended. Even with broken English, it was fine.
個人で行くには、まず、チケット入手が難しく、朝7時のネット申し込みと同時に2回トライしたが、入力項目も多く、10分も経たずにsold out。
こちらのツアーを見つけ、送迎つき、シュノーケルセットつきで、申し込んだ。$25の入場料は含まれていないが、ツアーが空いていればハナウマベイにて入場できるので、おすすめ。
以前はザ・バスも近くまで通っていたが、今は廃止となり、レンタカーかタクシーで行かねば、かなり歩くことになるのて、入場口まで連れて行ってくれるこのツアーはおすすめです。

Unfortunately, my older child had a fever, and since the cancellation would result in a full charge, I attended with my younger child, who is in first grade. (I reluctantly gave up the fee for the absent child.) However, I am grateful for the courteous response from the office, which offered to change the date.
I also added bus transportation, but since the meeting point is quite far, I think it would be better for those staying around Waikiki who haven't decided on transportation options to include it. The bus driver was a cheerful and kind Japanese woman!
Regarding the activity, I changed the date and participated in the afternoon, and while I was aware of it, the tide was high that day. When we arrived, the sandbar was gone, and the water was too deep for adults to stand, which scared my younger child, who clung to me and struggled. It was difficult to swim even the short distance of about 10 meters to the floating island where we could canoe, and I thought we might drown. My child, who had become completely intimidated during the move, was also scared of the canoe, and in the end, we managed to return to the boat and spent the entire time on board, which was disappointing.
While I understand this is a matter of personal responsibility, I think it would have been nice if they had differentiated the price a bit, such as lowering it during high tide, to avoid any frustration.
However, other families were enjoying snorkeling, riding banana boats, and seemed to be having a great time. They had plenty of time, and I believe those who are mainly considering activities other than the sandbar would really enjoy it.
What impressed me was the live music performance on the boat; it was pleasant to listen to music while feeling the breeze.
On that day, participants included people from Japan, as well as from China, South Korea, and the mainland United States. The crew consisted of one Japanese person and local staff.
あいにく上の子が熱を出し、キャンセルは全額になるため小1の下の子と2人で参加してきました。(不参加分のお代は泣く泣く諦めました)
ただ日時をずらしてくださるなど、事務所の方は丁寧に対応していただき感謝です。
バス送迎もつけましたが、集合場所までかなり遠いのでワイキキ周辺にお泊りの方はレンタカーなど移動手段が決まっていない方はつけた方がよろしいかと思います。
バスの運転手さんは日本人の女性で明るくて優しい方でした!
アクティビティですが、日時を変更し午後参加になり、分かっては居ましたがその日の午後は満潮。
着いたらサンドバーは無く大人も足がつかない深さで下の子はとても怖がりしがみつき暴れるので、カヌーが出来る浮島まで移動する間の10M位だけでも泳ぐのが困難で溺れるかと思いました。移動ですっかり萎縮した子供はカヌーも怖がり、結局なんとか必死に船上に戻ってずっと船の上で過ごすことになったのは残念でした。
今回のことは自己責任ではありますが、せめて満潮時は値段を下げていただくなど少し差別化をして貰えたらモヤモヤもなかったかなと思います。
ただ他のご家族はシュノーケリングを楽しんでいたり、バナナボートをしたり、各々楽しそうで、時間もたっぷりあり、サンドバー以外のアクティビティをメインに考えていらっしゃる方にはとても楽しめると思います。
感動したのは船上のライブ演奏で、ゆったり音楽を聞きながら風を感じるのは心地よかったです。
その日の参加は、日本の他、中国、韓国、アメリカ本土からの方が参加されていました。クルーの皆さんは日本人の方1名と、現地の方がいらっしゃいました。
If you're considering going, I think it's a good idea to check the tide calendar and other information.
これからご検討の方は満潮カレンダーなどチェックして行くのが良いかと思います。
Aloha Oikos,
Thank you for participating in the KBOS Sandbar Tour. We strive to accommodate those who may feel unwell during the trip by adjusting the schedule as much as possible. We appreciate your feedback regarding the tour fees during high tide, and we will take it into consideration for future improvements.
At KBOS, we offer a variety of activities at the sandbar, including snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and water volleyball. We hope you will enjoy these activities next time.
Mahalo,

I really appreciated the crew and the way they treated us! The day was beautiful - a little overcast, but so beautiful as it always is at the sandbar. The sun came through and allowed us to be dazzled by the colors of the ocean. We saw lots of fish on our snorkel segment, and the majority of the boat played a fun game of volleyball in the water. The food was good, and the boat was spacious enough to allow everyone to see the turtles and to gaze at the beauty of the landscape as we moved through the water. I was lucky to be able to spend this memorable day with my cousin visiting from out of town. This was perfect for one of our big activities! We will never forget this fun experience!
Remember the sunscreen and the sea sickness medication if you get nauseous on boats. :)

Got picked up at the hotel in Waikiki. We were 4. It was a short drive to the sandbar. What an experience. It literally looked like Tahiti. The Hawaiian singers/ukulele players were amazing and the staff was friendly and so accommodating. We enjoyed everything about the day, but the views were to die for. We appreciated the affordable alcoholic beverages that were offered as well as the free fresh donuts. We really enjoyed floating on the barge and kayaking and it was my first time on a paddleboard. What was so cool was that the water there is as calm as the lake.! we would highly recommend this trip!

Thank you very much for your 5-star review with beautiful photos. We are very happy to hear that you all had a fun time with us.

The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to swim with many fish. Above all, I was really happy to encounter a sea turtle! However, when we went further out, the waves were quite strong, and I ended up feeling seasick towards the end. The guides were also very kind and took a lot of photos for us, making it a truly enjoyable experience.
海はとても綺麗でたくさんの魚と泳ぐことができました。
なんといってもウミガメに出会えたことが嬉しかったです!
ただ沖の方まで行くと波がそこそこ強く、酔ってしまい最後の方しんどかったです。
ガイドの方たちもとても親切で写真もたくさん撮っていただけて本当に楽しい体験ができました。
If you are prone to motion sickness, I recommend taking anti-nausea medication.
酔いやすい方は酔い止めをお勧めします。
Thank you for joining the tour. It was great that you got to see the sea turtles. It's especially lucky to see two in the same spot, as that is very rare. I'm truly sorry to hear that you experienced seasickness. Next time, if you take some motion sickness medication beforehand, I believe you'll have a more comfortable swimming experience. We look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much. Mahalo!!
この度はツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございました。ウミガメに会えて良かったですね。しかも同じ場所に2匹いるのはとてもレアですから、特にラッキーでしたね。波酔いしてしまったとの事、こちらは本当にごめんなさいです。次回は事前に酔い止めを飲んでご参加していただければ、もっと快適に泳いでいただけると思います。またお会いできますことをお待ちしております。本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

The weather was slightly cloudy, but fortunately, we were able to see sea turtles! There were also many other fish, making it quite a sight.
There were about 10 participants on the tour that day, but I've heard that on some days, it can be close to 30 people. The morning time also had high visibility, making it easy to see.
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, there were other tour groups, so it was quite crowded. They likely color-coded the participants with life jackets, so I don't think anyone would get lost.
The boat was rocking, but after entering the water, the waves were quite strong, and some of my companions and other tour participants returned to the boat to lie down. The seawater was very salty, making me thirsty. You might feel a bit nauseous, so please manage that with food or medication. Soft drinks and snacks seemed to be free.
After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The breeze was pleasant, and I'm glad I participated!
天気は、若干曇っていましたが、運良くウミガメを見ることができました!
他の魚もたくさんいて見応えがありました。
その日のツアーの参加人数は10人くらいでしたが、話によると、日によっては30人近くになるそうです。午前中という時間も、透明度が高く、みやすかったとのことです。
シュノーケルのポイントに行くと、他のツアーの方々もいるので、人が多いです。おそらくライフジャケットで参加者を色分けしており、迷子にはならないと思います。
船は揺れるのですが、海に入った後の波の揺れがかなり大きく、同行者やツアー参加者の何人かが船に戻り、横になっていました。
海水がとてもしょっぱく、喉が渇きます。
若干気持ち悪くなるかもしれないので、食事や薬などで調節されてください。
ソフトドリンクやスナックはフリーのようです。
シュノーケリング後は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの方までクルージング。風も気持ちよく、参加してよかったです!
A friend who participated with me got seasick. I think it's better to adjust meals right before and take medication.
一緒に参加した友人は、波酔いをしていました。直前の食事の調節や、薬を飲むなどした方が良いと思います。
