Surfing experience 波乗り体験

Reviewed by: まゆはな

I saw a certain idol enjoying this canoe in Hawaii, so I decided to try it out. As a result, riding the waves is so much fun!! Surfing and bodyboarding are difficult, but with this canoe, it's easy to experience. I was able to ride the waves three times.

某アイドルがハワイでこのカヌーを楽しんでいたので、体験してみました。
結果、波に乗るって楽しい！！
サーフィンやボディボードは難しいけど、このカヌーなら手軽に体験可能。

The sandbar experience was amazing. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. They had food for us to feed the fish. I recommend booking the banana boat ride. The live music was so cool. We did snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding. My daughter has not stopped talking about it. It has been her favorite excursion this trip.

Great Experience, Even with a Bump

Reviewed by: Coopers

I’m writing this review to emphasize how great the workers of this cruise are. Great atmosphere, the banana boat was extremely fun, and the driver was a joy. We also got to do some snorkeling, seeing some beautiful fish. My main point of this review is to talk about how amazing the crew was when hit with a massive change. As we were enjoying our time, it got caught short due to a Tsunami warning. Every crew member was fantastic with this, making everyone feel safe and less nervous. It’s a really great time, just pray that you don’t unexpectedly get a tsunami warning!

Banana boat is the best! バナナボートは最高‼️

Reviewed by: misa_n

The crew was very kind, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, which made me feel at ease. The banana boat was thrilling. Additionally, seeing sea turtles up close was amazing. It was my first experience with stand-up paddleboarding. I was able to stand, but with the waves, it was difficult to go in the direction I wanted. The live music was also great. However, it was disappointing that the sandbar was submerged and not visible.

クルーの皆様はとても親切で、日本語を話せるスタッフもいて、安心して過ごせました。
バナナボート迫力満点。さらにウミガメも間近で見られて最高でした。Supは初体験でした。立つまでは出来るのですが、波もあり、思う方向に進むのが大変でした。
ライブミュージックも良かったです。
ただ、サンドバーは水位が高く見れなかったのが、残念でした。

Reviewed by: 子連れハワイ

Unfortunately, when we arrived at Sandbar, the beach was visible, but by the time we received the explanation and got on the canoe that was prepared for us, it was submerged.

You can check the tide schedule on the website, so it's recommended to confirm that before you go, but even without that, you can have a lot of fun.

サンドバーは残念ながら着いた時は浜が見えていたのに、説明受けて、つい手前に用意されていたカヌーに乗ってなんてしてる間に水没。

潮の満ち引きはサイトで調べられるので、確認してから行かれるのがおすすめですが、それ抜きでもとても楽しめます。

Enjoying the sea, marine sports, and music. 海とマリンスポーツと音楽を堪能

Reviewed by: いけまっち

I used this tour company for a family trip (my kids are in 8th and 6th grade). This is my third experience at the sandbar, but I choose this tour company every time. The reasons are that the staff is cheerful and fun, the boat is large and has a roof, you can enjoy light snacks, the live music is exciting, and you can enjoy marine sports. This time, I signed up for the banana boat experience. During the banana boat ride, we spotted a sea turtle, so they stopped the boat for us. They also respond to music requests. Overall, there seems to be a lot of American participants, but there are Japanese staff members guiding us. Other staff members also communicate in broken Japanese. I plan to use this tour again.

家族旅行で利用しました。（子供は中2、小6）
サンドバーは3回目の体験ですが、毎回このツアー会社を選んでいます。
理由は、スタッフが陽気で楽しいこと、船が大きく屋根が付いていること、軽食が楽しめること、音楽生演奏が盛り上がること、マリンスポーツが楽しめることなどです。
今回はバナナボート付きで申し込みました。
バナナボート体験中、途中で海亀を発見したので船を停めてくれました。
音楽はリクエストにも応えてくれます。
全体的にアメリカの参加者が多いイメージですが、日本人スタッフが案内してくれます。他のスタッフも片言の日本語でコミュニケーションしてくれます。
またこのツアーを利用しようと思います。

Recommended for those who want to enjoy music on a boat. 船で音楽を楽しみたい方におすすめ

Reviewed by: みれまま

The staff were all very friendly, but most of the people around were native speakers, and announcements and services were only in English, so those who prefer service in Japanese might find it inconvenient. Inside, there are long benches and long tables, and they guide you according to your group.

The activities were plentiful; my husband enjoyed beach volleyball, and our first-grade child was thrilled to see tropical fish with the floaties and goggles we brought, as well as a life jacket that was available for rent. It seems you can walk in the coral areas, so I think it's essential for children to have beach shoes (that can be worn in the water) to prevent injuries. Adults would also feel more secure having them.

After snorkeling, I spent a relaxing time on a boat with my daughter, enjoying the beautiful sea while riding on a SUP (you don't have to stand). On the way back, everyone was happily dancing to live music, and we were all healed by the aloha music at the end, creating a special memory.

As for snacks, there weren't any meals like sandwiches, and only donuts were provided (which ran out early due to competition), so it's better to bring your own if you think you'll need more. Coffee is made by getting the grounds and adding hot water yourself. Alcohol is available for a fee. There are two toilets, but they don't have automatic flushing, so you have to use the water from the bottle inside the toilet to flush it yourself.

スタッフの方は皆さんとてもフレンドリーでしたが、周りはネイティブの方がほとんどでアナウンスやサービスも英語のみなので日本語でサービスをご希望の方には不便に感じるかもしれません。中は長ベンチと長テーブルの席になっていてグループごとに案内してくれます。

アクティビティは充実しており、夫はビーチバレーを楽しみ、小学校一年生の子供は持参した浮き輪、水中眼鏡と貸し出しがあったライフジャケットでトロピカルなお魚たちを大興奮で見ていました。珊瑚の所は歩けるみたいなので、怪我防止に子供のビーチシューズ(海中で履ける)は必須だと思いました。大人もあった方が安心です。

私はシュノーケリングの後、娘と好きなようにSUPに乗ったり(立たなくていい)綺麗な海を見ながら船でのんびり過ごしました。帰りはライブミュージックでみんな楽しくダンスしていて最後はアロハミュージックに癒されて特別な思い出になりました。

軽食ですが、サンドウィッチなど食事になるものはなく、ドーナツしか用意がなかったので(争奪戦で前半になくなる)足りない人は持参した方が良いです。コーヒーは粉をもらって自分でお湯を入れます。お酒は有料です。
トイレは２つありますが、自動洗浄はなくトイレの中に置いてある水ボトルの水を自分で流します。

Fun day at the sandbar

Reviewed by: Leilani

The whole staff was so friendly and was so helpful for first timers. It was high tide and we did snorkeling first, the kids loved it learning for the first time. I tried paddle boarding and it was hard for me but still fun. The kids did the banana boat and it was fast and my three year old granddaughter had to ride on the boat instead, but she still had a blast. The band played Island music and it was perfect. We were there at the sandbar for three hours and it was exhausting but still fun. We would love to come here again next year.

Water balloon popping 水丸かぶり

Reviewed by: ゴジラーん

The pre-lecture was quite simplified with gestures and such. However, the captain and everyone else on board were all nice guys and very reliable. We went out to sea about three times to catch some waves, and on the second time, we managed to ride a pretty big wave, which was really exciting. It lasted about 25 minutes, but based on the waves we caught, it felt like it could have gone on a bit longer.

事前のレクチャーは、ジェスチャーなどで、かなり簡略化しています。
ただ船長はじめ、一緒に乗ってくれる方々は、みなナイスガイでとても頼もしいです。
波をつかまえに、３回ほど、沖の方へいき、２回目にかなり大きな波に乗れ、かなーり盛り上がりました。
だいたい２５分くらいで、終了でしたが、乗れた波の感じで、時間はもう少し長くなるのかな？って感じです。

Be Aware If You Are On The Shorter Side

Reviewed by: Teri

This was our second time doing this sandbar tour with this company. The staff is always very nice and there are beautiful views. The first trip went really well however, this second trip was not so great.
I am aware of high and low tide times which both times were high tide, but this time the water was over my head and windy with a pretty strong current. I am 5’ 1” and it made it near impossible to do anything at all. I know the staff cannot control ocean levels but just something to keep in mind for shorter people or people with kids. I would have been better off just saving the money and walking out into the regular ocean as far as I could before it got too deep.

It's really cold, so bring a dry towel or something to wear over. とにかく冷えるので乾いたタオルか羽織るものを

Reviewed by: ひーちゃん

The banana boat can accommodate six people in two rows for two families. It was so much fun! You won't get thrown off. Due to the tides, we couldn't reach the sandy beach, but that's understandable. You don't need water shoes at all. Both stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking were enjoyable, and even though we didn't see any turtles, we were happy to see lots of fish. Staying in the water for too long can get chilly, and if you get out while still wet, it gets even colder, so having a dry towel or a dry jacket is necessary. There are cold juices or water on the boat, but you can pay for hot coffee. My daughter and I kept drinking hot water to warm ourselves up. Also, my husband almost caused a commotion when he dropped his phone, which was in a waterproof bag, but the staff found it, and we were really grateful for that. Thank you so much for your help at that time. Next time, I’d like to go when the sandy beach is visible!

バナナボートは2家族の横2列の6人乗り。めっちゃ楽しかったです。振り落とされる事はありません。潮の満ち引きなので仕方ないですが砂浜には出会えませんでした。ウォーターシューズはなくても全然大丈夫。サップもカヤックも楽しかったし、カメには出会えなかったけどたくさんの魚を見られて良かったです。海の中にずっといると冷えるし、上がっても濡れたままだと更に冷えるので、乾いたタオルか乾いた上着が必要です。船上には冷たいジュースか水ですが、お金を払えば暖かいコーヒーがあります。私と娘はお湯をひたすら飲んで身体を温めました。あと、旦那が防水袋に入れたスマホを落としてしまい、大騒ぎになりかけましたが、スタッフが見つけてくれて本当に助かりました。あの時はありがとうございました。次は砂浜が出てる時に行ってみたいですね〜

Beautiful spot, tide wasn't super low (which you can't really control) but the snorkeling was just mediocre, per my friends that did it. We were on the boat most of the time eating cup of noodles, the live music was awesome and one of the guys that took people out for the banana ride was super nice and fun to chat with. The guy handing out goggles was a bit all over the place, I stood in line twice to get my goggles and he kept giving everyone theirs as I just stood there waiting and I almost thought he was doing that on purpose as it happened 2x so I just gave up and said well I guess I'm not snorkeling today. That was a bit disappointing. I think for the price, it wasn't really worth it. There are better tours here on the island.

I also tried the bumper tube as an option, which was more intense and active than I imagined, but I managed to endure it (laughs). I almost felt like I was going to heaven, but since it was something I had longed to do, I was glad I chose the option! I was also surprised by the cleanliness of the ship!

Our honeymoon trip to Hawaii was amazing! There were Japanese staff members who explained everything to us, and other staff spoke Japanese in a friendly manner, making our time enjoyable! We tried stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, and kayaking. Although there were limited numbers for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, people gradually got bored, so it naturally came around to our turn, which was funny. There was also a space for volleyball! The light snack donuts were tastier than I expected! I wish I had brought marine shoes for snorkeling. The shuttle bus was cold.
