All Reviews for Snorkel Gear Rental & Beach Shuttle

I participated with a friend. Since we didn't have a car, it was very helpful to have a shuttle service by bus.

We went in March, and although it was a bit chilly with strong winds, the blue sea and sandy beach were amazing. It might have been even better if the weather had been nice. ^^;

友人と二人で参加しました。
車に乗らないので、バスで送迎して貰えるのは
とても助かりました。

３月に行き、風が強く少し肌寒かったのですが、
青い海と砂浜は最高でした。
天気がよかったらもっとよかったかも^^；

It’s incredibly soothing. The endless horizon, the white sandy beach, the sound of the waves, the townscape—everything is just perfect. I only had time to visit Kailua Beach, but the guide mentioned that Lanikai has its own unique charm as well. Next time I go, I’d like to make the trip to Lanikai.
Most of the staff are Japanese, but almost all the foreign staff are fluent in Japanese, so you can participate with peace of mind.

とにかく癒されます。どこまでも続く水平線、白い砂浜、波の音、街並み、すべて最高です。カイルアビーチしか時間がなくていけませんでしたが、ラニカイもまた違った良さがあるとガイドが言ってました。次に行くときはラニカイまで足を運んでみたいと思います。
スタッフも日本人スタッフがほとんどですが、外国人スタッフもほぼ全員日本語がペラペラですので、安心して参加できます。

I was planning to relax at Kailua Beach, but the day I signed up for the tour was Independence Day! The beach was packed with people. Well, I managed to enjoy it to some extent, but if you're aiming for a "relaxing" experience, it seems better to avoid Sundays and holidays.

カイルアのビーチでのんびり。。。を予定していたら、ツアー申し込んだ日は建国記念日！ビーチはLocoでイッパイでした。
まぁ、そこそこには楽しめましたけど。。。
「のんびり」を目指すのであれば、日曜・祝日は避けた方がよさそうです。

We participated as a couple and chose this tour because it offers longer free time compared to other tours, along with a good price and lockers. I had been to Kailua once before, but this time I wanted to visit "Boots & Kimo's," famous for its pancakes, and hoped to explore Kailua Town as well.

After arriving in Kailua, I debated whether to bike or walk, and ultimately decided to walk to Boots & Kimo's, which took about 20 minutes. I got pancakes to-go and enjoyed them for breakfast on the beach, and they were incredibly delicious!

Kailua has such beautiful waters! Waikiki is nice too, but coming here feels completely different. On the day we participated, there were many small waves, which didn't seem ideal for boogie boarding, but my husband was able to see a turtle while swimming. You can also rent snorkeling gear, so I think it's good to check the wave conditions before deciding.

After spending about an hour in Kailua, we rented bikes (Kailua Sailboards & Kayaks offers rentals for tour participants at around $11 each) and headed to the neighboring Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach has a milky emerald sea! The beauty of the ocean alone lifts your spirits. The last time I walked to Lanikai Beach, I was exhausted, so I recommend biking instead.

For lunch, we could choose between a boxed lunch or pizza, and I opted for the pizza recommended by the staff. I was surprised at how big it was!

The four hours flew by. With the long free time, we could visit the town and Lanikai, making it a great option for repeat visitors. There are Japanese staff members, and the presence of lockers, restrooms, and changing rooms adds to the overall sense of security, making it a very good experience.

夫婦で参加しましたが、自由時間が他のツアーよりも長い＆価格＆ロッカー付きということでこちらのツアーに決めました。
以前にも１度カイルアにいったことがありましたが、今回はパンケーキが有名な「ブーツアンドキモズ」にも行ってみたくカイルアタウンにもいけたらなと思っていました。

カイルアに到着後自転車か徒歩か悩んだ末、徒歩でブーツアンドキモズへ行ってみましたが、歩いても20分くらいでした。
パンケーキをTOGOしてビーチで朝食にいただきましたがすごく美味しかったです！！

カイルアはとても綺麗な海です！ワイキキもきれいだけど、こちらに来ると、全然ちがうな~と感じました。
参加した日は小さい波が沢山くるような感じで、ブギーボードはあまり適してなかったように感じましたが、旦那さんは普通に泳いでいたら亀をみれたようです。シュノーケルのセットもレンタルもできるので、波の状態を見てきめるのも良いと思います。
１時間ほどカイルアにいてから、レンタル自転車（カイルアセイルボード＆カヤックで、ツアー参加者は１台１１ドルくらいで借りれました）を借りて隣のラニカイビーチに行ってきました。
ラニカイビーチのほうが、ミルキーエメラルド！な海です。海が美しくてそれだけでテンションがあがります↑
ラニカイビーチまで、以前行ったときは歩いたのですがヘトヘトになってしまったので、自転車のほうがおすすめです。

ランチはボックスランチかピザが選べましたが、担当の方がお勧めしてくれたピザをチョイス。すごくおおきくてびっくり！！

あっという間の４時間でした。
フリーな時間が長いのでタウンに行ったりラニカイに行ったりもでき、リピーターさんにもお勧めです。
日本人スタッフもいますし、ロッカーやトイレ、更衣室などもしっかりついているので安心度も高くとても良かったです。

The ocean in Waikiki is very beautiful, but the ocean in Kailua was exceptionally beautiful. However, the current was strong, so instead of swimming in the sea, we spent a relaxing time by the beach in the shade of the trees. The pizza for lunch was delicious! I would love to go back there when I visit Hawaii again.

ワイキキの海も非常にきれいですが
カイルアの海は格別にきれいでした。
ただ潮の流れが早く海で泳ぐというより
木陰などもあるのでのんびり海辺で過ごすという時間でした。
昼食のピザが美味しかったです！
またハワイに行ったら行きたいところです。

The beach was beautiful. Very good for boogie boarding but snorkeling was not happening unless you took a thirty minute walk to get there with all of your equipment. To get to the beach was a five minute walk which was not bad but there was no transportation offered to the family to get to the snorkeling part of the beach. Really this outing was over priced. Carrying four boogie boards, towels, and snorkeling gear with kids is not fun. So we did not to get to go snorkeling here. There should have been a small shuttle offered to get to certain areas of the beach. Who wants to be carrying this equipment back and forth to the beach. The meals offered was good but again we had to wait till just before leaving to eat because the food services are back at the rental facility. All they need to offer is a shuttle and I would not hesitate returning.

Kailua Beach is a beautiful beach with cobalt blue waters and pristine white sands, which has been recognized as the number one beach in the United States. The East Coast of Hawaii is windy, making Kailua a mecca for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

The Kailua Beach Center serves as a hub, and if you get tired of playing in the ocean, you can enjoy shave ice from "Island Snow Hawaii," which is located on the same premises. Kailua is a must-visit spot when you come to Hawaii.

カイルアビーチは、全米ＮＯ１に輝いたことのあるコバルトブルーの海と真っ白な砂浜が綺麗なビーチだ。ハワイイーストコーストは風が強く、ここカイルアもウインドサーフィンやカイトサーフィンのメッカとなっている。
　カイルアビーチセンターが拠点となっており、海遊びに飽きた場合でも同じ敷地内にある「アイランドスノーハワイ」のシェイブアイスを食べたりすることができます。カイルアはハワイに来たら絶対はずせない場所となっています。

I always enjoyed playing at Waikiki Beach, but we decided to try Kailua, which is said to be "the number one beach in the U.S." We went with low expectations. However, as soon as we arrived, I was captivated by the blue of the ocean and was absolutely thrilled. I had heard that it could be windy, but when we went in December, there was hardly any wind and the sea was calm. I even thought, "I want to live here forever." We all decided that we would definitely come to Kailua every year.

いつもワイキキのビーチで満足して遊んでいましたが、「全米ナンバー１のビーチ」というカイルアにいてみようという話になり、あまりに期待しないでいきました。しかし、着いたとたん、その海の青さのとりこになり、もう大感激。風が強いと聞いていましたが、12月にいったのですが、風はほとんどなく穏やかな海でした。「もうずっとここに住みたい」とまで思いました。毎年絶対にカイルアに来ようと家族全員で決めました。

As expected of a beach known as the No. 1 beach, it was truly beautiful. The food was also very local and good! This time, I participated with my son, but if you're bringing small children, Hanauma Bay might be more fun as there are lots of fish to see. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't see any fish in Kailua.

さすがはNo.1ビーチと言われるだけあって、本当に綺麗なビーチでした。食事もローカルっぽくてよかったです♪今回うちは息子と2人での参加だったのですが、小さい子どもさん連れならハナウマ湾の方が魚がいっぱいで楽しいかもしれません。カイルアでは魚が見られなかったのが、ちょっと残念だったかな？

Very fun activity when water is clear and the sun is shining :)

Staff is AWESOME and VERY helpful in getting you what you need and want. Lunch was ok. Choice of 2 different places to choose meal. Would do it again.

I spent a meaningful time from the morning until early afternoon. The weather was somewhat cloudy, so both the water temperature and the wind were a bit chilly.

I participated last October, and I think it's better to bring a long-sleeved jacket when it's cloudy.

There were quite a few waves, and I enjoyed bodyboarding. The staff provided thorough explanations, and lunch was included, so I was very satisfied.

午前中から昼過ぎまでの時間でしたが、有意義に過ごせました。天候は曇り気味だったので、水温・風共に若干冷たかったです。

去年の１０月に参加しましたが、曇っている時は上着の長袖を持っていったほうがいいと思います。

波がけっこうあって、ボディーボードを楽しみました。
スタッフの方の説明もきちんとあったし、昼食もついていたので大満足です。

Great experience. Friendly staff, great for people who like to spend the day exploring and relaxing outdoors. Kailua & Lanikai are great for relaxing on the beach, snorkelling & kayaking and isn't overly crowded. After spending the day at the beach, come back and get sweets & shave ice at the next door eateries and enjoy the ride back to Waikiki.

OK for whom who want active activities.

My friend and I had a great time! We biked from Kailua to Lanikai and did a little snorkeling and then back to Kailua for a little R&R on the beach.Kailua was one of the best beaches we went to, great water and sand.... wish we did the kayaks but I guess it's best to reserve something for next time!

We went as a family. We visit Hawaii every year, but it was our first time in Kailua. I thought, if you just stretch a little, there are such beautiful places. I encourage everyone to definitely check it out.

家族で行きました。ハワイは毎年行きますが、カイルアは、初めてです。少し足を伸ばせば、こんなに綺麗な所があるんだなーと思いました。皆さんも、ぜひ行ってみてください。

We went as a family. The day before, our youngest had a fever of 40 degrees, and we were half resigned to not going, but thanks to seeing a doctor, the fever went down to normal, and we were able to go after all. However, I was surprised by how effective the medicine in America was. Now, getting to the main point, it goes without saying that this is the best view on Oahu. Even my grandfather, who is over 70, ended up doing the boogie board because of the incredible sense of freedom at this private beach. During the day, we took loco moco to the beach and ate together. By the way, there are several options to choose from, but the hamburger set seemed to be the best. Also, for couples, this is probably the perfect place to hide in the shade and talk about love. I also came here on my honeymoon, and I promised myself that when our family grows, I will definitely bring them here. This time, I brought my four children to Kailua.

家族全員で行きました。前日、末っ子が熱を４０度も出してしまい、半分諦めていましたが、医者に掛かったお蔭で平熱まで下がり、何とか行く事が出来ました。しかしアメリカの薬の利き方には驚きました。さて本題ですが、言うまでも無くココはオアフ１番の景観です。７０過ぎの家のジーちゃんまでもが、ブギボーを気付いたらやっていた位の開放感最高のプライベートビーチです。昼は、ロコモコをビーチに持っていって、みんなで食べました。ちなみに、何種類か選べますが、ハンバーガーセットが１番良いようでした。ちなみに、カップルの方は、木陰に隠れて、愛を語るには最高の場所ではないでしょうか～自分も、新婚旅行の時にも来まして、今度家族が増えたら絶対連れてくるぞと心に決めた場所でした。そして今回４人の子供をつれてのカイルアでした。
