I had a great time. However, due to the nearby mountains, we encountered unstable weather, and the trade winds were strong, making it too cold after being in the water. On the return bus, I had to wipe my body and lay a wet towel on the seat, and the air conditioning was too strong, making me feel very cold. Even though I couldn't change, I should have brought a towel jacket or socks to keep my ankles warm.
It seems better to check the shallow times before deciding on the sandbar. We encountered a day where the water was about ankle-deep, but the staff mentioned that it’s rare for it to become completely island-like.
As a side note, the staff were cheerful and kindly took photos for us, which was very helpful. I recommend it. Mahalo!
とても楽しめました。
ただ、山が近い事もありお天気が不安定な日に当たってしまい、貿易風も強く海に浸かった後が寒過ぎました。
帰りのバスでは身体を拭いて濡れたタオルを座席に敷いて帰らざるを得ないところに来て、エアコンが効き過ぎ身体が冷えまくりました。
着替えられなくとも、タオル地の上着や足首を温められる様に、靴下などを持ち込むべきでした。
サンドバー自体は、浅い時間を調べてから決めた方が良い様です。
私たちはくるぶし程度の場所もある様な日に当たりましたが、全くの島状態になる事は珍しいのだとスタッフの方も話してられました。
ついでの様になってしまいましたが、スタッフのみなさんもにこやかで、気さくに写真も撮ってくれたり助かりました。
おすすめです。mahalo!

Overall, I had an enriching American-style tour experience. As soon as we arrived at the sandbar, we went snorkeling and saw the fish underwater. My husband, who experienced snorkeling for the first time, was thrilled by the colorful fish! After getting down to the sandbar, we played volleyball with a net that was set up. Chasing the ball, passing it, and applauding nice plays created an unexpected sense of camaraderie. The BBQ lunch we had when we got hungry was incredibly delicious. The staff were kind and cheerful, and there were staff members who understood Japanese, which made for a fun and truly memorable experience.
とにかく、アメリカ的で充実したツアーが体験できました。サンドバーに着くなり、シュノーケリングで海中の魚を見ました。色とりどりの魚の姿に、初めてシュノーケリングを体験した夫は大喜び! サンドバーに降りた後、張られたネットでバレーボールをしました。ボールを追いかけてパスしたり、ナイスプレーに拍手したり、思わぬ連帯感を感じました。お腹がすいて食べたBBQランチはすご~い美味しかった~。スタッフが親切で明るくて、日本語が分かるスタッフもいたので、楽しくてすごくいい思い出ができました。

The boat crew for the parasailing consisted of two people. The captain appeared very trustworthy, and I felt comfortable entrusting the operation of the boat to him. On the other hand, the staff who helped us with the parachute was cheerful and took us up to 150 meters above the sea in a fun way.
It was amazing.
However, there was a mention of some cash in the explanation, so don't forget to tip the boat captain and staff, as well as the tip when paying for the SD card that had the photos taken during the parasailing.

The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.
Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.
After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)
The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。
それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。
濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です!(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)

I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.
But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.
Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.
添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。
そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。
まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。

I signed up because it wasn't too early in the morning.
I was disappointed that I could only see the sea turtles for a moment.
Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was fun.
The hamburger was delicious.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation.
I wanted to know that it's easier to swim using fins rather than treading water in deeper areas, and that you should get back on the boat facing backward.
The water was about thigh-deep, but I was satisfied to have gone to the sandbar.
朝が早すぎないので申込しました。
海ガメが一瞬しか見れなかったのが残念でした。
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルをしたのが初めてだったので、説明は丁寧にしてもらいたかったです。
深い所では立泳ぎより足ヒレを使って泳いでた方が楽とか船に上がる時は後ろ向きからとか説明して欲しかったです。
太股くらいまで水がありましたが、サンドバーに行けて満足でした。

I was a bit concerned that the pickup was about 15 minutes late, but the parasailing experience itself was very enjoyable. The process was quick, and it didn't take long to get suited up and take off.

The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable.

I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.

Two people in their 60s, two in their 30s, an 18-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 2-year-old participated. The crew and the hamburgers on board were very delicious, which was great, but they mentioned that the sandbar area is close to the mountains and there aren't many sunny days. It was very cold. When getting off the boat to the sandbar, you have to go into the water up to about your waist. My 18-year-old eldest son and my husband had fun participating in the sandbar activities, but they did not join the snorkeling. About half of the participants did not join. Those who did were shivering. If you bring plenty of warm clothing and think about staying warm, you can enjoy it. I thought it would be the same as the sandbars in Okinawa, so I only prepared for heatstroke. It was the complete opposite.
60代2人30代2人18歳7歳2歳で参加。乗務員さんや、船上のハンバーガーはとっても美味しくて良かったですが、サンドバー付近は、山間の近くにあって、なかなか晴れる日がないとの事。とっても寒いです。船からサンドバーに降りるときは、へそ下ぐらいまで海に入らないとだめです。18歳の長男と旦那は楽しく、サンドバーバレーに参加してましたが、シュノーケリングは,不参加。半分ぐらいの方不参加でした。入った人は、がくがく震えてました。着替えなどたくさん持って防寒を考えていくと入れます。私は、沖縄のサンドバーと同じだと思っていたので、熱中症対策ばかりで。真逆でした。

I participated in three activities: a movie location tour for about 1.5 hours, a jungle tour for about 1.5 hours, and a cruise. While I thought the jungle tour was somewhat lacking in the jungle experience, we did climb Triangle Mountain by jeep during the movie location tour, and at the end, we walked up a mountain path of about 10 meters. We could stop the car along the way to enjoy the scenery, but the view after the hike was truly beautiful. Since it was cloudy that day, I felt it was better to do the cruise for about 1.5 hours instead of spending three hours playing at Secret Island. We left Kualoa Ranch at 2:30 PM and were back at the hotel by 4 PM. Although it was an early morning, I think it was a recommended tour.
映画ロケ地めぐり約1.5時間、ジャングルツアー約1.5時間、クルーズの3種類に参加しました。ジャングルツアーはジャングルとは言えずそこそこかな〜とは思いますが、映画ロケ地めぐりで見た三角山にジープで登り、最後は10m位の山道を徒歩で登りました。途中でも車を止めて景色を見れますが、ブチハイキングの後に見た景色はとても美しかったです。当日は曇っていたのでシークレットアイランドで遊ぶ3時間よりクルーズ約1.5時間にしてよかったと思いました。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit and that you were able to enjoy watching the sea turtles.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar that you mentioned, as indicated on the tour page, please understand that due to the tides, there may be times when the sand beach is not visible. However, we can imagine that you were disappointed not to see the sandbar with the sand exposed above the water as you had hoped.
Additionally, please note that you will need to move through the water from the boat's docking position to the sandbar, so we kindly ask that you wear a swimsuit in advance.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.
