The excursion was the perfect way to spend my birthday! It was very well organized from the pick-up all the way at to drop off! The music onboard was so enjoyable and had lots of people singing along!!!!!! At the sandbar there was soooooo much to do!! We tried it all and even learned how to paddle board!! Staff were all amazing and willing to lend a hand and making sure we were all safe!!! This was our favourite thing we did on our whole trip and wished it lasted longer!!!

I felt safe and enjoyed myself as they paid attention to infection prevention. The staff who spoke Japanese provided clear explanations about the dolphins, which made it enjoyable. The experience of feeding the sea turtles was also fun as they came right up close. I definitely want to go again next time.
感染予防にも留意されていて、安心して楽しめました。日本語を話すスタッフがついてくれて、イルカについての説明もわかりやすく、楽しめました。海亀の餌やり体験もすぐ近くまで来てくれて、楽しかったです。また次回もぜひ行きたいです。

We did one of the glass bottom kayak tours while in Oahu and had a great time. Hunter and Ramsey were our guides and were amazing! Our group had some younger children, and the guides made sure everyone had fun and was able to stay together. I would highly recommend this!

This was such a blast! My daughter and I rented a tandem canoe and spent a glorious day around the reef fields. We would come up on a drop off, drop anchor in a shallow area and then just turn on the GoPro and swim down the reef wall with the schools of fish as our guides. Many different species of fish, a few octopus, and sea snakes. We could also hear the “crackling” of the coral (which sounds like Rice Krispies in milk), which was something you can’t appreciate when you’re in large groups of people because of the noise. Amazing experience— would do it again, but be sure and bring your “reef safe” sunscreen.

I was a bit anxious about whether the pickup location was correct since it was also the trolley bus stop and a pickup point for other tours, but I felt reassured when a staff member wearing a T-shirt that said "Angel's Sea" came to greet us.
The boat had a mix of Japanese and other nationalities, but we had a Japanese guide who provided all the explanations in Japanese, which was great. Angel's Sea was incredibly beautiful—like a different world. Standing in the middle of the ocean and being able to walk around was amazing! The weather was nice, and the contrast between the sea, mountains, and sky was stunning. Playing beach volleyball at Angel's Sea was a lot of fun. Later, during the sea turtle watching, we were able to see many sea turtles, and a manta ray even came close to the boat.
The highlight was definitely the last snorkeling session, where I encountered sea turtles and was able to swim with them. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time snorkeling, but the guide at Angel's Sea provided a briefing, and we practiced breathing and swimming, so it was fine. Even a toddler who was crying during practice was amazed by the beautiful coral and fish once we actually went snorkeling. Even if you think you can't do it, I recommend trying to get in the water just to see, as you’ll be wearing a life jacket.
On the way back, there’s time to change on the boat, so bringing a wrap towel for kids allows for changing on the deck. The air conditioning on the bus was very strong, so I think it’s better to change. The hamburger for lunch was the best one I had during this stay, as they grilled the patty right on the boat!

When we got on the tour bus, we had a very talkative guide. Of course, he spoke only in English. He introduced himself as "Captain," so I thought he was both the driver and the boss of the boat, but when I asked for his name again when we got off, it turned out to be "Caplun" (laughs).
Anyway, he introduced us to the restaurant while heading to our destination. According to him, the top recommendation is malasadas, followed by poke bowls, and then loco moco. He kept insisting that malasadas are the best (laughs). He also mentioned that having yakitori with beer is the best, which made me think that no matter the country, older men seem to enjoy the same things. I dozed off a bit and before I knew it, we arrived at our destination.
Since there was no place to change on the boat, we promised to wear our swimsuits underneath and quickly stripped down to head into the sea!
Originally, sandbars appear in areas where the tide goes in and out, but this time, due to high tide, the water was up to our waists. The clarity of the water was absolutely amazing.
While many people were playing and swimming in the shallow areas, the best spots to see marine life were a bit deeper with coral. One gentleman was trying hard to hold onto a float and keep up with us but gave up halfway.
We continued on. While we could see to some extent with our eyes, the sand and possibly plankton made it hard to see beyond about 7 meters.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to see any honu (sea turtles), and feeling a bit down, our Japanese-speaking guide said we still had time to take a break and try again! He mentioned that since the wind was picking up, it would be better to stay a little closer to shore.
We returned to the boat, but by this point, my body was starting to get cold. In fact, it felt warmer in the water, but I was tempted by snacks and returned to the boat.
We were able to enjoy free drinks like coffee, canned juice, apples, and snacks. About the Cheetos, they actually taste a bit different from the ones in Japan. The American version has a stronger cheddar flavor and is saltier, making it quite addictive (laughs).
I was so cold that I wrapped myself in a pool towel while eating (laughs). Once I settled down a bit on the boat, we tried again!
The second time, the water felt colder. I had brought fins, so I was able to swim quite easily, but my wife said she didn't need them, and I think she probably used up a lot of energy...
After swimming back and forth in the coral area a couple of times, someone on the boat shouted, "There it is! A sea turtle!" We dashed over and got our cameras ready! The weather was great, but I couldn't see the display! The water was quite murky, but I pressed the shutter anyway!!!
Both my wife and I were able to see the wild honu clearly. They say the sea god brings good fortune, so I hope something good happens!
Our excitement skyrocketed, and we were instructed to return as we had only five minutes left. After getting back on the boat, we left the sandbar.
Finally, we took a picture of the beautiful scenery.
When we returned to shore, our high-energy guide Caplun handed us a business card for ordering malasadas online (laughs). He really loves them!
Then we headed to Leonard's for the second time on this trip. It was indeed delicious, so we bought more. We were instructed not to eat in the car but outside, so I asked if it was okay to take it home. He passionately insisted, "Hot is the best! Trust me!!" (laughs). When I mentioned that I had already tried the original malasada here the other day, he smiled widely and said, "Well, that's good! OK, OK."
On our way back, it started to rain again, and we saw a rainbow. Is it really this heavy during a downpour?
Then it was time to get off near our hotel. I told Caplun that his introduction was very entertaining and gave him a tip, ending the tour!
Back in our room, I had chocolate, and my wife had custard, sharing a bite each. The order was 1. Original, 2. Cho
ツアーバスに乗ると、なんともよく喋るガイドさん。もちろん英語のみ。キャプテンと言っていたので、運転手兼船のボスかと思っていましたが、帰りの下車時に再度お名前を聞いたら、キャプルンさんでした(笑)
とにかく、レストランの、紹介をしながら目的地へ。
彼いわく1番はマラサダ。2番はポケ丼。3番目がロコモコ。
とにかくマラサダかうまいと何回も推してました(笑)
焼き鳥片手にビールも最高みたいなこと言ってたのでどの国もおっさんの好きなものは一緒なのかと思いつつうたた寝をしていたら目的地へ。
ボートの中では着替える場所がないので下に水着を着てくる約束で、素早く脱ぎ捨ていざ海へ!
もともとサンドバーは潮の満ち引きで砂場が現れる地帯ですが、今回は満潮のため腰までしっかり水が。
透明度は素晴らしくクリアでした。
多くの方が浅瀬で遊んで泳いでるところ、生き物がたくさん見れるポイントはやや深くサンゴがあるところです。
1名オジサマが頑張って浮きに掴んで付いてこられてましたが途中で断念。
私達は続行。目視だとある程度は見えますが、砂埃やプランクトンかな?7m程度先は見えなくなります。
残念ながらホヌ様に会えずしょんぼりしていたら、日本語のできるガイドさんが、まだ時間があるので休憩して再チャレンジしていいよ!
今は風が強くなってきてるから少し開けたほうが良いとのこと。
一度船に戻るんですが、このあたりで身体が、冷えだす。むしろ海に浸かっていたほうが暖かったのですが、お菓子につられて一度帰還。
コーヒー等の飲み物や缶ジュース、りんごにお菓子はフリーで頂けました。
チートスについて、実は日本のとは少し味が違う。アメリカのはチェダーっぽさが強く塩っ気が強めなのでかなり中毒性があります(笑)
私は寒くてプールタオルをかぶって食事(笑)
ボート上で少し体が落ち着いたところで再度チャレンジ!
2回目のほうが海が冷たく感じました。
私はフィンも持参していたため、結構楽に泳げましたが、妻は要らないとのことでしたがおそらくかなり体力を消費したことかと…
そしてサンゴ地帯2往復くらいしたら、ボートからあそこにいるよ!シータートルだ!!と声が!!ダッシュでかけつけカメラを準備!
天気が良くてディスプレイは見えない!
水もかなり濁ってしまっているがとりあえずシャッター!!!
妻も私も肉眼でしっかり野生のホヌ様にお会いできました。成功へ導いてくれるといわれる海の神様。良いことが起きるといいなぁ。
ふたりともテンションが跳ね上がって残り5分だから戻ってと指示を受け、船へ戻ってからサンドバーをあとにします。
最後に良い景色をパシャリ。
岸へ戻ると、またもやハイテンションのキャプルンさん。
マラサダのオンラインオーダーの名刺を渡してくれました(笑)どんだけ好きやねん。
そして今回の旅2回目のレナーズへ。確かに美味しかったのでまた買いました。
車の中では食べないで外で食べてくれと指示が出ていたので、持ち帰りしてもよいか?と聞くと
ホットが一番うまい!トラストミー!!と熱弁(笑)実は先日ここでオリジナルマラサダを食べたから知ってるよというとめっちゃニコニコで、それならいいんだ!OKOKと。
そして帰路に雨がまたもや降り、なんと虹が。
スコールってこんなに降るもんなのか?
そしてホテル周辺で降りる時がきて、キャプルンにイントロダクションがとても面白かったとおつたえしてチップをお渡ししツアー終了!
部屋に戻り私はチョコ、妻はカスタードを食べ一口ずつ分け合いましたが
1.オリジナル 2チョコ 3カスタードの順でした。カスタードは独特な香りがします。
チョコはかなり濃厚で少しビター。シナモンシュガーが使われていました。
英語のみのツアーでしたが日本語ができる方もいたので助かりました!
でも皆さんフランクでとても楽しいツアーでした!次はホヌさんもっと近くでみたいなぁ!!

We chose the sunset cruise. Upon arrival we were a bit concerned about the surf as it was pretty rough for this time of the year. I asked the captain about it, and he said they would have no issue. We left the harbor, and the waves were pretty good size. The boat cut through them with no issues. The boat is a good size, about 35' x 55', and we were able to get up and walk around and take some great pictures. We took our own cocktails, and the crew had an ice chest to store them. The crew was very friendly, and the cruise was very relaxing. it was the best money spent while on our vacation.

I went three years ago, but since I'm not good at swimming, I gave up on snorkeling. The staff at that time seemed to suggest that people who can't swim shouldn't do it. This time, I went with my husband and decided to challenge myself, but it was still a bit scary... At that moment, a staff member encouraged me to hold onto the board. I was able to see fish and even encountered a sea turtle. I was able to get my revenge from three years ago. Thank you very much.

I think more variety of food, the free alcoholic needs more alcohol. The guy who goes around collecting trash missed us not once but twice. We waved at him several times but he still missed us.
Aloha Val, I'm sorry we didn't have enough of a variety of food to your liking. We couldn't serve you a completely authentic Hawaiian food buffet because you probably wouldn't eat it. We had to do more of a local variety of island favorites to have more of a Hawaiian/American buffet. We offer baked fish, grilled boneless chicken, kalua pork(cooked in the imu, or underground oven), and teriyaki beef along with a fruit salad, macaroni salad, pineapple cole slaw, white rice, plus lomi salmon,& poi(a hawaiian staple)....sweet rolls, and couple desserts. Truly that is quite a variety of food. Not sure how much alcohol you expected,...but we have had some feedback about certain drinks being too strong, so I'm surprised. I'm not sure why the guy collecting the trash missed you, but I apologize for him. Thank you so much for your feedback, and hope that you will one day return to our island and our luau again!!

Since we can't speak English, we hoped there would be Japanese staff, and we were pleased to find that there were indeed Japanese staff members. The explanations for activities like snorkeling were provided separately in Japanese and English, which made us feel very comfortable participating.
In particular, Yukiko, the Japanese staff member, was very kind to us. Thank you very much.
We were thrilled to see many turtles from the boat, and during snorkeling, we were lucky enough to encounter a turtle and swim together for a while. The hamburgers for lunch were also very delicious.

I was able to see a lot of sea turtles! The beautiful ocean and comfortable water temperature reminded me of my student days, and I was captivated by the fish, coral reefs, and the turtles. My three daughters, who were experiencing ocean leisure for the first time, initially said they couldn't touch the bottom, but they quickly got used to it and had an amazing time. We got plenty of great photos.
You need to take off your shoes when boarding. It's barefoot inside the boat. The luggage storage is just a case-like area, so it's best not to leave valuables behind. While you're having fun, you can come and go freely even without staff around, so self-management is important. The only money you'll need is for tips; there was also a paid shower, but we didn't have time to change and ended up getting on the shuttle bus in our wet swimsuits. We did put down a towel, but no one said anything about it.
The explanations are in English, but there are staff members who speak Japanese well, which is reassuring.
When the wind blew the float away, the staff went to retrieve it, and during snorkeling, we moved in groups with staff, so it felt safe, and they pointed out the turtle spots. The snacks on the boat were a nice treat during breaks. Although I didn't use it, there was also a restroom on board. Of course, you can use the parking lot restroom before boarding. It was a lot of fun.
ホヌ、たくさん見れましたよ!
きれいな海と水温も心地よく、50代の私も学生の頃を思い出して水中の魚や珊瑚礁、ホヌさんに夢中でした。海レジャー初体験の娘3人も、初めは足がつかない〜って言ってましたが、すぐに慣れてめちゃくちゃ楽しめました。いい写真いっぱいです。
乗船の時に履き物脱ぎます。船の中は裸足です。
荷物置き場は衣裳ケースみたいなものに入れて置くだけなので、貴重品できるだけ置いて行かない方がいいです。遊んでる間、休憩したりとスタッフいなくても出入り自由なので自己管理を。
お金を使うのはチップくらいで有料シャワーもあったようですが、私たちは着替える時間なくて送迎車に濡れたままの水着で乗りました。いちおうタオルひきましたが、特に何も言われないです。
説明は英語ですが、日本語上手なスタッフもいて安心です。
風で浮き輪が流された時も、スタッフが取りにいってくださったり、シュノーケリングもかたまって移動し、スタッフも一緒なので、安心だし、ホヌポイント教えてくれます。
船のお菓子も休憩時にはうれしかったです。
利用してませんが船上にお手洗いもついてましたよ。もちろん、乗船前に駐車場トイレに行けます。
楽しかったです。

The tour guide was wonderful. Our bus driver Jimmy did a fantastic job. They only disappoint was the snorkeling, but then again we are experienced and for beginners it was great.

Honestly, my expectations for this tour was not high. Reviews seemed mixed all around (i.e., Yelp, Google, etc.) and what I "really" wanted was the tour that had all the additional activities, i.e., banana boat, stand-up paddle board, but it was completely booked. However, the experience on this specific tour was sooooo much better that I anticipated. I booked the reservation for 17 (14 adults + 3 children), with most visiting from the East Coast mainland with even quite a handful of locals for which this was their first time to Sandbar, and they were more than accommodating to our large party. At first, I thought the time allocation was too short for each excursion (1. Sandbar (1-hr), 2. Turtle watching (15 min.); 3. Snorkeling (1-hr)), but it was perfect! Any longer and it would have felt drawn out. The lunch tasted better than I expected. Not too little and definitely not too much (otherwise the kids would have vomitted!). So don't be discouraged by it JUST being a BBQ burger -- you'll be pleasantly surprised. Drinks were available on board - non-alcoholic (free) and alcoholic ($5 each) and they had quite a variety so don't worry about being parched! The boat staff was super energetic and had a really cool vibe. They informed you ahead of time of all the do's and don'ts and was always available to answer any and all questions and concerns. And lastly, the Captain really made the trip memorable! He was a lot of fun and you just knew he loved his job. The weather was perfect, so that too, helped to make the day. Overall, it was a very memorable experience and I look forward to recommending this tour package to the rest of our family and friends, local and visiting.

Aloha Shelley! Thank you so much for joining us for a kayak and snorkel adventure! And thank you for taking the time to leave this amazing review and photo. That is really great and we appreciate it very much. Stoked to hear you had this kind of experience kayaking and snorkeling with us and saw so much marine life. Kane'ohe Bay is great for that and I'm glad you had a great experience of it. Also, thank you for the REEF SAFE sunscreen PSA. Very, very important. We are very appreciative of that kind of feedback. Hope to see you again soon! Mahalo!
