I went snorkeling to see sea turtles, but there were too many people, so I couldn't move forward very well, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the boat. What a shame.
うみがめを見るためにスノーケルだったのですが、人が多すぎたため、なかなか前に進むことができず、気づいたころにはボートに戻る時間でした。

I was able to see about 10 whales! It was amazing!
Since they weren't that close, I wish I had brought binoculars.
The ocean and sky were beautiful, and I could see Diamond Head clearly.
I opted for the lunch option, but I wanted to see the whales and stayed on the deck the whole time, plus I had a bit of seasickness, so I couldn't eat at all. Personally, I think it was fine not to have lunch included.
I had a great time!
10頭くらい見れました!感動!
そんなに近くはないので、双眼鏡を持っていけばよかったです。
海も空もきれいでダイヤモンドヘッドもきれいに見えました☆
ランチ付きにしましたがクジラを見たくてずっとデッキにいたのと、軽い船酔いで全く食べられなかったので個人的にはランチ付けなくてよかったです(^^;;
楽しかったです♪

During my last trip to Hawaii, I saw this pool from the highway and wanted to visit, so I participated this time. When I arrived, it seemed a bit run-down. The locker fee is $13, which is on the higher side. I think meals were around $12.13, so that's pretty average. There is a small children's pool, so families might enjoy it.
前回ハワイに行った際に、高速道路からこちらのプールが見えて行きたいと思っており、今回参加しました。

I participated in the early morning plan with a friend. The guide was a local Japanese woman who was lively and fun. However, the water was cold, and I was surprised as soon as I got in. The sandbar was about knee-deep at its shallowest point. The sea had a beautiful gradient of blue! When I got out of the water, I was shivering from the cold (laughs), although my friend and the others around didn't seem to be as affected. On the boat, the foreign male staff and the female guide took photos and were very considerate, which made me happy. The light snack was something like a ham and cheese sandwich. It was cold, so I wished I could have something warm, but it couldn't be helped. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season at low tide!
友人と2人で早朝プランに参加しました。
ガイドさんは現地の日本人の女性でノリが良く楽しかったです。
ただ水は冷たかったです。入った瞬間びっくりでした。サンドバーは一番浅いところで膝下くらいだったと思います。海はキレイな青のグラデーションでした!
海から上がったら私は寒すぎて震えていました(笑)友人や周りの方はそこまでではなさそうでしたが…。
船の中では外人の男性スタッフや女性ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり色々気遣ってくれて嬉しかったです。
軽食はハムチーズサンドのようなものでした。寒かったので温かいものが食べたかったですが仕方がないですね。
今度は暖かい時期で干潮の時に行きたいです!

This tour was conducted in English, so there were mostly Westerners.
I could see the spouting in the distance, and although I couldn't capture it in photos, I did catch a glimpse of the head and tail quite close for a moment.
I lowered my rating a bit because I couldn't take photos, but that's not the fault of the tour.
The staff were also very considerate when my daughter felt unwell.

The sandbar was deeper than I expected, but the color of the ocean was beautiful, allowing me to fully enjoy the essence of Hawaii. The guide took some photos, and they turned out great, making for wonderful memories. There weren't many fish while snorkeling, but I had a lot of fun being in the water. I don't think individuals would be able to reach the deeper parts of the ocean by boat, so I recommend making good use of the tour.

I was hoping to see whales up close, but it felt like I was viewing them from a distance. I was able to see the spouts and tails several times, but I couldn't see the body or size of the whales; they were too far away to see clearly, which was different from what I expected. However, the view from the boat and the comfort inside the ship made it enjoyable, so I had a good time overall. (*^-^*)
近くでくじらを見れるのかなぁと思ってましたが遠くに見る感じでした。何回も潮吹きやしっぽは見れましたがくじらの胴体や大きさは見れず、、遠すぎてあまりよく見えず、思っていたのとは違いました。でも船の上からの景色や船の中も快適でクル-ズしたと思えば楽しかったです(*^-^*)

The sandbar needs no introduction. It was just too beautiful! We were lucky to see sea turtles, and we enjoyed snorkeling as well. Above all, the burgers made by the captain were exquisite! The seasoning was perfect, and I want to go back just to have another burger.
If you're planning to get off at the sandbar to take photos, it's best to have waterproof gear (like covers or underwater-friendly items) to avoid any worries! Also, if you want to change clothes on the way back, you can do so in the boat's restroom, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes. For those who don’t bring a change, a bath towel borrowed from a hotel is essential (you can use it to sit on the bus seats).
The staff are also entertaining, so I highly recommend it.
サンドバーはもう説明不要かと思います。もう綺麗過ぎました!
ウミガメもタイミング良く見れましたし、シュノーケリングも楽しめました。
そして何よりもキャプテンが作ってくれるハンバーガーが絶品でした!
塩加減も絶妙でハンバーガーを食べにまた行きたい位です。
あとは、サンドバーに降りて写真などを撮るのであれば
防水対策(カバーや水中対応の物)した物があれば心配無し!
また、服装は帰りに着替えたい人は船のトイレでも着替え可能ですので
持参をお勧めします。着替えを持って行かない方は
ホテルなどで貸してもらえるバスタオルは必須です。(バスの座席に座る際に敷きます)
スタッフの方も面白いので、お勧めです。

I wasn't able to go to the total depth due to my ears, but still it was worth it for me. We saw coral reefs and lots a fish. Turtles were in the area just not seen by our group. On the way to our snuba location we were able to see a few whales breech the surface. The crew on the boat were great and the lunch was delicious. They offered Pork, Chicken sandwiches, fresh fruit and chips. It was rough seas and the boat ride was smooth sailing. Overall rating is 4.5 stars. Whish we could see more whales and see dolphins.

It was a beautiful sandbar. With my husband's guidance, I practiced snorkeling at about knee-deep water, and it was perfect. I was able to see the fish and coral beautifully, and I’m satisfied that I mastered snorkeling. Unfortunately, it became cloudy in the afternoon, and the sea looked dark and chilly. I just wished for the sun to come out. My husband was a bit disappointed because he thought the BBQ would have ribs to bite into. I thought the burger was delicious. It was a great memory for our anniversary trip after 30 years, enjoying the sea in Hawaii.

The sandbar appears on the surface due to the tides, and it seems that it can only be accessed at night on the day of the full moon. The sea was beautiful, and I walked as far as I could while taking photos. On the way to the snorkeling point, I saw many sea turtles and made a wish. After entering the water for snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in a coral nook! We locked eyes and swam together. I was told not to touch them, so I didn't, but the sea turtle swam so close that I could almost reach out! It was truly moving! This was my first experience like this. Just thinking about it brings back such a happy feeling.
サンドバーが表層に現れるのは月の満ち引きとかで当日なら夜でないとダメらしかったけど、海はきれいで、どこまでも歩いていけて写真をとりました。シュノーケルのポイントにいくまでに沢山の海亀を見て、願い事をしました。シュノーケルで海に入ってしばらくしたら珊瑚の窪みに海亀が!目が合い、見つめあって海亀と一緒に泳ぎました。触ったらダメと言われてたので触らなかったけど、本当に近く 触れるところを海亀が泳いで!感動!!こんな体験は始めてです。思い出すと幸せな気分がよみがえります。

We went on the afternoon cruise on Valentine's Day 2016 that was suppose to leave at 3 p.m. We ended up leaving about 15 minutes late because we had to wait for a van coming from Waikiki with more riders and they were late. We did see whales about 2 miles off the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel. The crew was very friendly and we enjoyed the open bar. It was like a whale watching party on someone's private boat! We had so much fun, that we booked the 5:30 p.m. boat cruise that very same day! Again, the only disappointment was that the boat was suppose to depart at 5:30 p.m., but this time it did not depart until 6:15 p.m. (45 minutes later!) because again, we were waiting on a van that had gone to hotels in Waikiki to pick up more riders and they were late due to traffic. Our boat cruise was cut short by 45 minutes and we only stayed out on the ocean until 7 p.m. so we felt cheated out of ocean time. Again, the crew was friendly but when I pay to spend time on the ocean, I expect and want to spend the entire one and a half hours on the ocean. In the future, I would suggest to the boat company, not to wait for a late van of riders and penalize those who were on time. Or, make sure that your riders get their full time on the ocean by staying out longer if you depart late.

The bus arrived about 30 minutes late in Hawaii time! However, the entrance where the optional tour people from Hyatt gather was filled with Westerners! I was impressed and waited, thinking these people must be going too. We gathered at what is called Paradise Cove and received cards to charge the $12 on-site. The bus only spoke English, but that was interesting in its own way. They told us which bus number to take, and since there were only about five buses, it was hard to make a mistake.
Upon arrival, I got a Mai Tai and entered the park. It seemed like they didn’t need ID, as my face clearly looks like I’m over 50! (laughs) We practiced hula together, climbed palm trees to scatter flowers, and some guests were made to do strange dances like a beach seine. (I felt safe since Japanese people probably wouldn’t be chosen! (laughs)) While doing various activities, the sun set, and when we got our food and drinks and sat down, the show began. It was standard but enough! It was amazing. It took a bit of time to buy drinks, so I didn’t think about drinking too much... (laughs) However, I got full quickly without taking too much food. The taste was decent, about the same as a plate lunch, and it felt sufficient.
I really felt like I was in Hawaii. Looking up at the sky, I was impressed by how beautifully Orion and Canis Major were visible! Of course, the dance and fire dance were also fantastic.

The crew members were cheerful and kind, making it easy to participate with peace of mind. Since breakfast was included, I planned to eat after watching the whales, but when I returned to the boat, they had started clearing away breakfast, so I couldn't eat at my leisure, which was disappointing.

Since we came all the way to Hawaii, my daughter (6 years old) and I participated in the activity together. To be honest, my daughter was a bit scared of the ocean and was feeling anxious, but thanks to the kind and attentive staff, we were able to fully enjoy the experience. By the end, she had completely warmed up to it.
Turtles appeared multiple times, coming right up close to the boat and poking their heads out. Even small children could see them with the naked eye. We were even lucky enough to see a manta ray, which made my daughter very excited! At the sandbar, the water was waist-deep when moving from the boat, which was a bit deep and made her scared, but we were able to see crabs and fish, and by the end, she was practicing putting her face in the water with a snorkel on.
When we got back a little early, the staff happened to be feeding the fish, and my daughter got to participate, which was a great experience for her.
Just a note for those bringing small children... The air conditioning on the bus is quite strong both going and returning. Especially on the way back, since there’s no place to change, depending on the age, I think it’s better to have them change quickly. For the trip there, I had my daughter wear a dress over her swimsuit, but just in case, I brought an extra set of underwear, so on the way back, I had her change out of her swimsuit and wear the dress with her underwear. I also wrapped her in a larger towel that I brought as a blanket. As expected, she fell into a deep sleep, so I was relieved that I didn’t have to worry about her catching a cold!
せっかくハワイに来たのだから、と娘(6歳)と二人で参加しました。実を言うと、海が少し怖い娘は、内心ビクビクしていましたが、現地のスタッフの方々の優しく、細やかなお心づかいのおかげで満喫できました。最後はすっかりなついていました。
カメは何度も姿を現し、船のすぐ近くまできて頭をだしてくれます。小さなか子でも肉眼で確認できました。珍しくマンタまで見れて娘はおおはしゃぎ!サンドバーでは船から移動するときは水深が腰まであり、少し深いので怖がりましたが、蟹や魚も見れて、最後にはシュノーケルをつけて顔を海につける練習までしていました。
少し早めにあがると、たまたまスタッフの方が魚に餌付けしており、娘もさせていただき、よい経験になりました。
ひとつだけ小さなお子さんをお連れの方へ…行も帰りもバスの冷房はしっかりかかっております。特に帰りは着替える場所がないので、年齢にもよりますが、ぱっと着替えさせてあげたほうがいいと思います。娘には行きはワンピース+水着の恰好でいかせましたが、念のため、と下着をもっていったので、帰りは水着をぬがし、ワンピース+下着で帰らせました。そして1枚多めにもっていった大きめのバスタオルを毛布がわりに包み込みました。案の定、爆睡したので風邪をひく心配をひとつ削れましたよ~~
