The staff was friendly, and we enjoyed the activities. However, some people on the same bus were being excessively noisy both on the bus and on the boat, which made us uncomfortable. There are people who want to rest on the shared bus, and it was too loud, making it difficult for us to have conversations. I understand that it might be difficult to address this on the spot, so I would appreciate it if you could raise awareness about this in your guidelines or instructions.
スタッフは親切でアクティビティも楽しめました。ただ、同じバスの方たちがバスの中や船内で度を越えた騒ぎ方をしていて不快な気持ちになりました。乗り合いバスの中は、休みたい人もいますし、騒がし過ぎて、バスや、船内では。私達の会話もほとんどできませんでした。その場での注意は難しいと思いますので、注意事項などで喚起していただけますと幸いです。

I'm not good at marine sports, but I was invited by a friend and participated. We paddled a canoe and were able to go to deep parts of the ocean that we wouldn't have dared to go to on our own. Riding the waves was fun, and the scenery was beautiful—it was the best! The instructor was also good at Japanese, which made me feel at ease!
マリンスポーツは苦手ですが友達に誘われて参加しました。
カヌーをこいで自分たちだけでは怖くて行けない海の深いところまで行けて、波に乗るのも楽しく、景色も綺麗で最高でした!

Dear Wa,
Thank you for participating in the Outrigger Canoe Surfing service at Waikiki Beach! We're glad to hear that you had a great time. The outrigger canoe is very stable, making it accessible for those who may not be able to swim, allowing a wide range of generations to enjoy it. Next time, please consider a one-hour charter to enjoy it even longer. Mahalo!

It was a bit different from the sandbar I had in mind, but my family who accompanied me seemed to enjoy it. I thought the staff's response was very good. I wish the light snack donuts had been malasadas.
思っていたサンドバーとは少し違っていましたが同行していた家族は、それなりに楽しめたようです。スタッフさん達の対応はとても良かったと思いました。軽食のドーナツがマラサダだと良かったなとおもいました。

This tour was amazing. The staff was friendly and so helpful. There was so many things to do, you could snorkel, kayak, paddle-board or play beach volleyball. They even have this area where you can hang out on the water float and just relax in the sun. I will definitely be doing this excursion next year. We took my mom for her birthday and she had an absolute blast. The water was so clear and I got so lucky to see a sea turtle while I was kayaking.

My family and I really enjoyed our trip to Oahu and this excursion! The crew was amazing — super friendly, helpful, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The local Hawaiian music they played on the boat was excellent and really added to the overall vibe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were a blast, and the views out on the bay were absolutely beautiful.
The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is because we didn’t really get to see the sandbar. The water was up to my chest (I’m 5’11”), so it didn’t quite have that “standing on the sandbar” experience we were hoping for. Still, it was a really fun and relaxing trip that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Oahu!

Although the time was short, the speed was quite exhilarating, and the children were pretty scared when we went over the waves, so I think three rounds of surfing was just right.
It was unfortunate that I couldn't take photos with my smartphone during the boarding process because there was paddling involved. Later, I received an email about purchasing photos and videos, but they were all similar pictures where you couldn't see faces, and they were expensive! I was also disappointed that I couldn't purchase just the videos.
時間は短かったですが、スピードがかなり出るのと波を越えて行く時に、子どもたちはかなり怖がったので、計3回の波乗りでちょうど良かったのかなと思います。
乗船時、漕ぐ作業があるので、スマホ撮影できなかったのが残念でした。
あとからメールに、写真・動画の購入のお知らせがきたのですが、同じような写真で顔もわからない写真ばかりでしかも高い!動画のみの購入ができず残念でした。
I recommend arriving early as the check-in location can be difficult to find.

Dear Michi,
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the outrigger canoe surfing.
Regarding your comments on the photo and video service, please note that for safety reasons, our photographers maintain a certain distance while capturing images. Therefore, it may be difficult to guarantee that all photos and videos will clearly show faces. For this reason, we allow you to review the content before purchasing any photos or videos.
We also appreciate your valuable feedback regarding the inability to purchase videos only, and we will take this into consideration for future service improvements. We hope for your understanding.

The tour itself was great - however the instructions were very clear that if you were late you’d be left behind. The guides let people wander in as late as 930 although check in time was 845 and the boat was supposed to leave at 9. Table choice was also not first come first serve - they saved the window seats for people with children so despite our group being one of the first to arrive we were placed in a center table and the people arriving 45 mins late and holding up the whole group got the window seats.
Once on the water the tour was great :) guides were friendly and helpful

I chose the morning plan without checking the tides, so I ended up being submerged in the sea up to my chest and couldn't see the sandbar. If you want to see the sandbar, I think it's better to check the tides beforehand. Once we got to the sandbar, we were able to enjoy activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding freely, which was fun. The staff members who spoke Japanese shared unique stories with us. You can get donuts on the boat heading to the sandbar, but if you plan to get them later, they might run out, so I recommend getting them at the beginning.
潮汐を調べずに午前プランを選択してしまったので、サンドバーは見られずに胸元くらいまで海に浸かっている状態でした。サンドバーを見たい場合は、事前に潮汐を調べてから行ったほうがいいと思います。サンドバーについてからは、シュノーケルやサップなど自由に過ごすことができ、楽しめました。日本語を話してくださるスタッフの方々がユニークにお話してくださいます。サンドバーに向かう船の中でドーナツがもらえますが、後でもらおうと思っていると無くなりますので、初めにもらうといいと思います。
Dear Tuna,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your valuable feedback.
The appearance of the sandbar can change significantly depending on the tides. During low tide, the sandy beach becomes visible, while at high tide, it may be submerged. If you want to ensure a good view of the sandbar, we recommend checking the tides in advance.
On the other hand, we are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding, as well as interacting with our crew in Japanese.

From start to finish, this was one of the best experiences on the island as far as tours go. We got to the parking lot and we asked some locals where to go, and they directed us to the boat, which was at the very end of the dock. When we got in the folks working on the boat were very professional and welcoming. They have live music playing, and that was excellent as well. There was plenty of seating and they had complementary water, a juice, and donuts. They also had snacks for purchase and beer. There was restrooms on the boat and lifejackets. We were given clear instructions as to what activities we could do and for that price it was great. You could kayak you could do stand-up paddleboard you could snorkel or you could pay extra to do the banana boats or the bumper boats, but I think you had to sign up for those prior to going on the trip out. The whole family had fun and we were all able to try everything with the allotted amount of time that we were out on the water. It was a great experience overall, and we recommend it to all the families that visit Oahu.

Fun day out at the sand bar. Water was a little murky but still nice. Short SUP around the area and just hanging out.

I had a great time. The ocean was very beautiful and amazing! In the morning, I jumped off the diving rock (it was quite impressive), enjoyed snorkeling, and had a blast in the water. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding and strolled around Haleiwa a bit. I was able to play a lot throughout the day.
Everything was in English, so it might be difficult if you can't speak it at all, but the staff were very kind.
とても楽しかったです。海がとてもきれいで最高ですね!午前中は飛び込み岩から飛び込んだり(結構すごいですよ)、シュノーケルをして海遊びを満喫し、午後はサップをして少しハレイワの街を散策しました。一日中たっぷり遊べました。
全て英語なので全く話せないと難しいかもしれませんがスタッフの方はとても親切でしたよ。

The crew was friendly, and the tour started promptly on time.
Fun activities at the beautiful sand bar. Plenty of kayaks and snorkling gears to borrow.
The staffs were very attentive to each participant's need and made sure of the safety throughout the tour.
The boat has a nice deck on the back with a lot of scenic views along the route from the pier to the sandbar.

The boat was nice, staff was friendly and the water was beautiful. The DJ kept the party going while the boat was anchored. And I might've fallen in love with Jesse! He was a wonderful addition to the excursion!! A great time was had by these girls from Texas!

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!
Aloha Mike

We utilized the afternoon plan for a family of four, including our elementary school-aged son and daughter. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and from there, it took about 20 minutes by boat. On the boat, we enjoyed lunch (croissant sandwiches, etc.) and drinks while taking in the scenery. After finishing our meal, we arrived offshore shortly after.
When I went, the water depth was just enough for an adult like me to stand a little, rather than being at a sandbar.
Once offshore, we enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which thrilled the kids. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even as a beginner when diving in areas with coral. Additionally, there were about 4-5 staff members nearby at all times, so I felt comfortable letting the little ones play.
We also reserved a banana boat as an option, but due to some waves that day, we switched to a banana boat. The kids enjoyed the thrill of being towed at a decent speed, and we were amazed when a large sea turtle came right next to the boat. It was much bigger than the sea turtles we saw in Haleiwa Bay, and when I asked the staff, they mentioned that this area has few predators, allowing them to grow larger.
The tour lasted just under four hours, from around 12 PM to 4 PM, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, making it a reassuring experience for those who are not confident in English.
I participated in the afternoon session with about 20 people in six groups. I noticed that there were significantly more participants in the morning session, likely more than double. If it’s less crowded, I think you can enjoy the activities for a longer time, so the impression may vary depending on how busy it is.
小学生の息子・娘を含む家族4人で午後プランを利用しました。
集合場所まではレンタカーで行き、そこから船で約20分、船中はランチ(クロワッサンサンド等)や飲み物がついているのでそれを食べながら風景を楽しみ、食べ終わって少しすると沖に到着。
ちなみに私が行った時はサンドバーではなく、大人の自分が水中で少し足がつくかな、くらいの水深でした。
沖ではカヤックやSUPが楽しめ子供たちも大喜び。スノーケリングでは珊瑚がある場所で潜ると素人の私でもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
またスタッフが4-5名は随時近くに居てくれるので、多少小さな子がいても安心して遊ばせることができると思いました。
また、オプションでバンパーボートを予約したのですが、この日は波が少しあったので当日バナナボートに変更、そこそこのスピードで牽引され子供たちもスリルを楽しんだほか、大きなウミガメがボートのすぐ横まで寄ってきて感動しました。
ハレイワ湾で見たウミガメよりもだいぶ大きく、スタッフに聞いたところこの辺りは外敵が少ないため、大きく成長できるんだとか。
12時過ぎから16時ころまで4時間弱、楽しむことができるツアーで、参加中も日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので、英語が得意でない方にも安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。
私が参加したのは午後で6組で20名ちょっとくらいが参加、当日の午前のツアーで下船された方は非常に多く倍以上は参加者がいたのではと思います。空いているとアクティビティも楽しめる時間が長くなると思うので、混み具合で多少印象は変わるかもしれません。
It might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved layer, as it can get chilly on the round-trip boat ride depending on the day. I think the tour itself can be enjoyed safely, even with elementary school-
往復の船中は日によっては冷える場合があるかもしれないので、長袖の羽織るものが1枚あるとよいかもしれません。
ツアー自体は小学生くらいのお子さんが一緒でも安心して楽しむことができると思います。
