This is my third time at Sandbar, and it's the first time the weather has been bad and cold. There's a world of difference between good and bad weather, but the staff were very attentive, and I was able to see turtles while snorkeling, so it was a decent tour overall.
サンドバー三回目で天気が悪く寒いのは初めてです。天気が良いのと悪いのでは天と地の差が有りますがスタッフが色々気を使ってくれシュノーケルでは亀も見れたのでまずまずのツァーでした。

I was very satisfied with the transportation, crew, and tour content. The crew was polite and helped us when we were in trouble. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to take lots of photos and practice snorkeling. The boat hardly rocked, and I didn't feel seasick.
The handmade hamburger for lunch was delicious! The only regret I have is that my shoulders got really sunburned, possibly because the sunscreen was too thin (laughs). This is a tour I would like to join again when I go to Hawaii!
送迎、乗組員、ツアー内容ともに大満足です。
乗組員も丁寧で、困っていると助けてくれたり、
サンドバーでの時間もたっぷりあり、写真をたくさんとったり、シュノーケルの練習をしたりできました。
船もほとんど揺れず、酔いはありませんでした。
お昼のハンバーガーが手作りで、お肉が美味しかったです‼
日焼け止めが薄かったのか、肩がめちゃくちゃ焼けたことだけが後悔です(笑)
またハワイにいったら参加したいツアーです‼

This is a recommended plan for first-time visitors to Hawaii.
The sandbar can be seen or not depending on the tide, but since it's shallow, even small children were playing there.
We moved to snorkel around the coral reef, and it was fun to see so many fish.
It's also nice that you can stop by points where you can see sea turtles during the移動中.
初めてハワイに来た人はオススメのプランです。
サンドバーは潮のみちひきで見れたり見れなかったりしますが、浅瀬になっているので小さい子供も遊んでいました。
移動して珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケルしたのですが魚がいっぱい見れて楽しいです。
移動中にウミガメが見れるポイントに寄って見たり出来るのもいいです^ ^

The Japanese staff were very helpful, and their explanations were really easy to understand. They even made jokes, which added some laughter to the tour, and I was very satisfied! However, the sandbar was submerged due to high tide, which was different from what I had imagined. It's a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing that can be done about it, but I was a little disappointed about that... Still, I had a great time! Next time, I want to join the tour when the tide is low!

On a day when the wind was blowing strongly, I felt anxious, but the staff member said, "It's not impossible to go out to sea, but the river is calmer. Which would you like to choose?" I chose the river for safety. It was great to have a relaxing SUP experience while feeling connected to nature on the river. After returning from the river, they told me, "We have a little time left, so if you want to try the sea, you can!" I decided to give it a shot. The waves and wind were indeed strong, and no matter how hard I paddled, I couldn't reach the target island, but I had fun trying.
風が強めに吹く日にあたってしまい不安だったところ、スタッフさんが「海に出れなくはないけど、川のほうが穏やか。どっちに行きたい?」と選択させてくれました。
安全をとり川を選択。自然を感じながらのんびりSUP体験ができて川のSUPも良かったです。
川から戻ってきた後、「少し時間があるから、海にTRYしたければできるよ!」と言ってもらい、思い切ってTRY。やはり波と風が強く、漕いでも漕いでも前に進まず目標の島までは辿り着けませんでしたが、TRYすることができて楽しかったです。

I participated in the two-hour course. The location is fantastic. We passed through hills with a view of the sea and headed to the filming location of Jurassic Park. A refreshing breeze flowed through, making it the best horseback riding experience amidst wonderful scenery. However, there was no shuttle service, so getting to the ranch by bus was a bit challenging. The one-hour course includes a shuttle, but it doesn't go to the filming location and is shorter in duration, so I thought it might be lacking. I wish there had been a shuttle service for the two-hour course.
2時間コースに参加しました。ロケーションは、最高です。海の見える丘を通り抜け、ジュラシックパークのロケ地へ進みます。さわやかな風が通り抜け、素晴らしい景色の中で最高の乗馬体験でした。
ただ、送迎付きがなかったので牧場までバスで行くのは少し大変でした。1時間コースは送迎がありますが、ロケ地には行けず、時間も短いので、物足らないかなと思い二時間コースにしたのですが、送迎付きがあるとよかったと思いました。

It was a four-wheeler buggy experience. Since it was March, the sunlight wasn't too strong, and even though it was just a one-hour course, my whole family was very satisfied. My daughter was driving for the first time, and I had heard there would be some pre-training, but when it started, it felt like we were just thrown into the real thing (laughs). The casualness of it was really nice.
The Japanese staff, who had a comedic style similar to Okamura, had excellent banter, and the buggy explanation video was filled with American jokes, making it a fun experience. If I ever go to Hawaii again, I would definitely want to try this again.

Maybe I was expecting too much. Since we went on a large bus and a big boat, there were a lot of people, and we had to line up for snorkeling, which made it difficult to move and we kept bumping into others. It was also disappointing that there weren't many fish; there were more at Waikiki Beach, haha. Snorkeling was hard because I didn't have fins, so it was tough to get around. Next time, I want to choose a different optional tour with a smaller group.
期待しすぎていたのかな。
大型バス、大型の船で行くので人が多くて、シュノーケリングも列で並んで進まないといけないし、人にぶつかるし、あまり魚がいないのも残念だった。ワイキキビーチの方が魚いた笑
シュノーケリングは足ヒレがないからなかなか進みずらかった。
今度は少人数での別のオプショナルツアーにしたいと思う。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for not being able to provide the service that met your expectations.
Although it was a mixed tour, I apologize that your experience in the beautiful waters of Hawaii was ruined due to the waiting time. I confirmed with the operating company regarding the rental of snorkeling fins. They mentioned that snorkeling equipment, including fins, is always available on the boat, but since many customers do not use fins, they are only lent out upon request. I understand that there may be customers who are not aware of the rental fins, so I have made sure to advise the operating company to provide clear information about the rental equipment.
We take your feedback seriously and will work together with the operating company to further improve our services in the future.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback during your busy time.

Entire family had a wonderful experience. The crew was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Plenty of time to enjoy the Kaneohe Bay sandbar and snorkel around the coral reef. Saw sea turtles and hand fed fish at the reef. They spent time teaching people who had never snorkeled before. And they provided all sizes of equipment from kids to oversize adults. Simple lunch of cheeseburgers with all the fixings, chips, bbq beans and fruit was plenty. Price was as reasonable as any other tourist activity on the island but a lot more fun.

A 2-hour horseback riding course! I had an initial riding license, so I was thrilled to ride. The magnificent, expansive scenery that you can't experience in Japan, the pleasant breeze, and the polite guidance in English made the moments walking along the coastline truly wonderful and moving.
In the last 30 minutes, my lack of training made my thighs hurt, possibly because I wore clothes that rubbed against me. So, everyone, please be careful when participating.

I chose this plan because I had children with me, but there were so many people that it took a long time to get into the water, to board the boat, and for the snorkeling instructions. In total, we spent about 15 minutes actually in the water.
We snorkeled just a little off the sandbar, forming a long line with a large group, which made it difficult to move freely. The visibility underwater wasn't great, possibly due to the clouds, and because there were so many people, we quickly received an announcement to return to the boat, which ended the experience in about 5 minutes.
Since I usually do skin diving, I felt that this was not really at the level of snorkeling.
The point where we saw a turtle had good visibility and looked interesting, but we could only see it from the boat.
With a large number of participants and many people who seemed unfamiliar with the sea, those who usually enter the water themselves might find the waiting time too long and unsatisfying.
The boat was clean, large, and comfortable. There were also several types of drinks available during the trip.
子供がいたのでこのプランにしましたが、人数が多くて海に入るまでに
時間がかかり、船に上がるのにも時間がかかり、シュノーケルの説明にも
時間がかかりと、実際海に入っている時間はトータル15分くらいでした。
シュノーケルはサンドバーからほんの少しそれたところへ、大人数で列を
なして進み、自由に動けないのと曇りのせいか海中の透明度もよくなく、
また人数が多いせいか、すぐに船にもどってくださーいというアナウンスが
あり、5分程度で終わりました。
普段スキンダイビングをしているため、こちらはシュノーケルとはいえない
レベルの内容でした。
途中亀を見たポイントは透明度も高くて面白そうでしたが、これは船から見るのみ。
ツアー人数も多く、海に慣れていない人も多い様だったので
普段自分で海に入る人には、待機時間が長すぎて物足りないかもしれません。

The day of participation had nice weather with no wind, making for great conditions. The staff girl who was waiting for us on the beach supported me, and when I got on the board and went a little ahead to where the guide was, he said, "Stand up and look!" I stood up hesitantly, but as soon as I started paddling, I lost my balance and fell off (laughs). I managed to get back on the board, but it was tough for me, an aunt who doesn't usually exercise, so I decided to paddle while sitting down from then on! (Sitting is quite stable.)
My son, who participated with me (21 years old), easily stood up and paddled without any trouble, while the guide adjusted his pace to accommodate my slower speed as we headed toward the uninhabited island.
They had prepared water for us, and the guide took care of my smartphone, so I enjoyed the scenery and took breaks while capturing photos. The guide also accompanied my son and taught him how to ride the waves, and he was thrilled to be able to ride the waves pretty well, saying that paddling while surfing was exhilarating and a lot of fun.
After that, we strolled around the island and returned to the beach, but it was unusually windy, and my arms were sore from the effort (laughs).
As for points I was concerned about beforehand:
- We could choose from two restaurants for lunch, but since the pizza place opens at 11 AM, it would be tough for those starting at 11:30.
- There were about four changing rooms separated by curtains, so changing was okay.
- The showers were outside, so they were just for rinsing off sand.
- The lockers were large enough for changing clothes and valuables and had locks.
- The guide prepared water for us on the beach.
- They transported the boards on a cart back and forth to the beach.
- We had about two hours of free time, so we borrowed bikes and could go to Boots Kimora for pancakes to-go in about an hour round trip.
Sunscreen is a must. I was careless because it wasn't scorching hot, but it was tough when I got home. Next time, I want to leisurely enjoy renting a board in front of the hotel.
参加日はお天気で風もなくいいコンディションだったそうです。
ビーチで待っててくれたスタッフの女の子がサポートしてくれてボードに座り少し先で待っててくれるガイドさんの所まで行くと「立って見て~」と言われ、恐る恐る立っては見ましたが、パドルでこぐなりバランス崩して落ちました(笑)
何とかボードに乗りましたが、普段運動してないおばちゃんにはキツかったので、その後は座ってこぐ事にしました!(座ると結構安定してます)
一緒に参加した息子(21)はあっさり立って簡単にこいでましたが、ガイドさんが遅い私に合わせてくれてゆっくり無人島に向かいました。
お水を用意してくれていて、スマホもガイドさんが預かってくれてたので、私は景色を楽しんだり休憩しながら撮影する事にしましたが、ガイドさんが息子に付き合ってくれて波乗りの仕方を教えてくれたりして、そこそこ波に乗れるようになり、パドルでのサーフィンがスピード感があってめっちゃ楽しいと喜んでました。
その後島を散歩してビーチに帰りますが、珍しく向かい風だったらしく腕も筋肉痛でしたw
事前に気になっていた点として
○2店舗から選べる昼食付きでしたが、ピザは11時オープンの為11時半スタート組は厳しい。
○更衣室はカーテンで仕切られた所が4つ位あったので着替えOK
○シャワーは外にあるので砂を流す程度
○ロッカーは鍵付きで着替えや貴重品が入る大きさでした
○ビーチにはガイドさんがお水を用意してくれます
○ビーチまでの往復台車にボードを乗せて運びます
○自由時間が2時間位あったので自転車を借りてブーツキモアのパンケーキをto goなら往復1時間位で可能。
日焼け対策必須です。ジリジリする暑さがなかったので油断してましたが、帰ってから大変でした^^;
今度はホテル前にあったレンタルボードでのんびり楽しみたいと思います。

また是非、弊社のツアー(ガイドなしもございますので)にご参加をお待ち致しております。

The tour was well-organized, and having a Japanese guide made me feel very reassured. We arrived at the sandbar about an hour after low tide, so the water was knee-deep, but instead, we were able to borrow snorkeling gear on-site and practice snorkeling before the main event. After that, we boarded the boat and moved to the snorkeling spot (the reef) to enjoy the actual snorkeling, but the time went by so quickly that I wished we could have stayed longer. Some lucky people were able to swim with sea turtles at both the sandbar and the snorkeling spot. Since the bus ride back was cold, I recommend changing clothes in the restroom (there are no changing rooms).
きちんとしたツアーで、かつ日本人のガイドさんもいたので、とても安心感がありました。
サンドバーは干潮から一時間後に到着したため、膝下ほどの潮の高さでしたが、代わりにその場でシュノーケリング道具を借りて、本番の前にシュノーケリングの練習ができました。
その後、船に乗りシュノーケリングスポット(リーフ)に移動して、本番のシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、シュノーケリング時間があっという間で、もっといたかったです。
運が良い人は、サンドバーとシュノーケリングスポットと両方でウミガメと一緒に泳げたそうです。
帰りのバスが寒いので、トイレで着替えることをおすすめします(更衣室はありません)

Dear Egusa,
Thank you for your visit and your comments.
Kailua often has strong winds, making challenges at sea quite difficult, but the challenges at sea are wonderful.
Please consider taking on challenges at sea again when you visit Hawaii.
We sincerely look forward to your next visit.
