I was imagining a sandbar like in the picture, but due to the tides, the sandbar didn't appear, and I was in water up to my waist. However, the scenery was beautiful. I also saw a sea turtle, just a little bit. The lunch was delicious, with a hamburger made from freshly grilled meat right there.
写真のようなサンドバーを想像していたら、潮の満ち引きの関係でサンドバーは現れず腰まで水につかる感じでした。でも景色はキレイです。ウミガメも、ちょっとだけみれました。ランチはその場で焼いてくれたお肉でハンバーガ―が美味しかったです。

I was most looking forward to my trip to Hawaii.
It was disappointing that the sky was cloudy, but the sandbar was magical and beautiful.
The hamburger I had on the boat was incredibly delicious!
ハワイ旅行で一番楽しみにしていました。
空は曇っていたのが残念でしたが、サンドバーは幻想的で綺麗でした。
船の上で頂くハンバーガーはすごく美味しかったです!

I participated in this tour for my honeymoon. It was my first time going on a sandbar tour, and I was impressed by the beautiful gradient of the sea! The weather was great, and I was satisfied with all the photos I took.
Snorkeling was also fun, as I saw a lot of fish. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any sea turtles, although some people did spot them. Personally, I found the hamburger for lunch to be very delicious.
新婚旅行で参加しました。サンドバーのツアーに行くのは初めてでしたが、海のグラデーションがとてもきれいで感激しました!天気も良く、写真もたくさんとれて満足しました^ ^
シュノーケリングもたくさん魚が見れて楽しかったです。残念ながら海ガメは見ることはできませんでした(^_^;)見つけてる方もいましたが。
個人的には、昼食のハンバーガーがとても美味しかったです^ ^

I arrived about an hour after low tide, but the water depth was around 20 centimeters, and there were no sandy areas visible as shown in the photos. As mentioned in other reviews, it seems that the area where boats can dock is determined by the company, and larger boats were parked in the areas where the sand was visible. Still, the scenery was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles, which was really fun. I almost didn't have enough time!
干潮から1時間後くらいに到着しましたが、水深は20センチくらいで写真のように砂地が見えているところはありませんでした。
他の方の口コミにもありましたが、会社によって船を泊められるエリアが決まっているようで、砂地が見えているエリアには大きな船が泊まっていました。
それでも景色はきれいでしたし、ウミガメも見れて本当に楽しかったです。時間が足りないくらいでした!

It was our first time in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and our first time snorkeling as well. I was surprised at how many people participated compared to other activities, but we took a bus to the boat harbor, where we boarded the boat and were entertained by the high-energy crew from that point on.
While cruising towards the sandbar, we looked for sea turtles and managed to catch a glimpse of them a few times. However, since it was just a fleeting moment, I think those who want to fully enjoy sea turtles should consider participating in a tour that focuses on them, like those on the North Shore.
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we took a lot of photos first, and then put on our snorkeling masks and moved to a deeper area to enjoy snorkeling. It had been a while since I swam, but thanks to the life jacket, I was able to focus on and enjoy snorkeling without any worries. There were various types of fish, and even as a first-time snorkeler, I had a great time. If I could wish for anything, it would have been nice to have a bit more time to enjoy snorkeling.
I believe that snorkeling will definitely be an essential activity for our next trip to Hawaii.
ハネムーンでお互い初のハワイで、初のシュノーケリングでした。
他のアクティビティに比べて、想像以上に多くの人達が参加されていたのに最初驚きましたが、ボートハーバーにバスで向かい、そこでボートに乗り、その段階からテンションの高いクルーの方たちに楽しませてもらえました。
サンドバーに向かう間にウミガメを探しながらのクルージングでしたが、何度か一瞬見かけるウミガメを見ることが出来ました。(但し、あくまでも一瞬だったので、ウミガメを十分に堪能されたい方は、このアクティビティではなく、ノースショアの観光のコースなどでウミガメを見ることが出来そうなものに参加されたほうが良いと思います。)
サンドバーに到着したら、そこでまずはひとしきり写真を撮り、その後シュノーケルのマスクなどを付けて、深い場所に移動しシュノーケリングを楽しみました。
随分と水泳も久々でしたが、ライフジャケットのおかげで全く心配なくシュノーケリングに集中して楽しめました。
色々な種類のお魚さんが居て、初めてのシュノーケリングでも十分楽しめました。
欲を言えばもうちょっとシュノーケリングを楽しむ時間があったら良かったなぁと思いました。
次回ハワイに行ったらシュノーケリングはまず欠かせないアクティビティになったと思います。

The sandbar only appears during low tide, and when I went, it was high tide, with the water up to my waist. However, during the sunny moments, both the sea and the scenery were amazing. It rained partway through, and the water got murky, so snorkeling was... But I would love to participate again when it's sunny!
サンドバーは干潮の時間にしか砂浜が現れず、私が行った時には満潮で、水面は腰のあたりまでありました。それでも晴れていた時間帯は海も景色も最高でした。途中に雨が降り、水が濁ったのでシュノーケルは・・。だったのですが、晴れているときにもう一度参加したいです!

We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and it was our first time trying horseback riding. I had always wanted to try riding, but I was hesitant to jump into multiple activities for several hours, so I booked just a one-hour horseback riding course.
One of my biggest concerns for this honeymoon was that we chose a course at Kualoa Ranch, which is quite far from Waikiki, and it didn't include transportation, so I wasn't sure how to get there. For those in the same situation, here are some tips:
1. Take the number 55 bus, which runs once an hour from Ala Moana Center. (You can check the bus schedule using the DaBus app.)
2. Get off at KAMEHAMEHA HWY + OPP KUALOA RANCH. (There are several bus stops with KUALOA in the name, so be careful not to get off at the wrong one.)
3. Right in front of you as you get off is the entrance to Kualoa Ranch.
For the return trip, there is a bus stop on the opposite side of the road, so I recommend taking the bus back to Ala Moana Center. It took just a little over an hour by bus from Ala Moana Center.
Finally, when it was time for horseback riding, the horses were prepared for the women first. As my wife got on her horse and waited, her horse was already a bit restless. When I got on my horse next to hers, it seemed that our horses didn't get along and started to fight, which scared my wife and almost made her want to quit. However, after changing her horse, we were able to set off.
After that, both my horse and my wife's horse calmed down, and we enjoyed an hour of riding. (My wife was too nervous to fully enjoy the scenery, though...) Just as I was getting comfortable with riding, the hour was up, and I wished there had been a 90-minute option available.
Kualoa Ranch itself is a beautiful and pleasant place, so I would like to try other activities there next time.
ハネムーンでお互い初めてハワイに行き、初めての乗馬に挑戦でした。
乗馬は1度してみたかったけど、あんまりガッツリ何時間も、いくつものアクティビティにいきなり挑戦するのは気が引けたので、とりあえず乗馬だけ1時間のコースを予約していきました。
実は今回のハネムーンで一番気がかりだったことがこのクアロア牧場で、ワイキキから結構遠い所にあるのに、送迎が付いていないコースを選択したため、そもそもどう行っていいか分かりませんでした。
同じ方は結構居るようなので、参考までに記載しますと、
1.アラモアナ・センターから1時間に1本ペースで出ている55番バスに乗ります。
(バスの時間はDaBusのアプリなどで調べると良いです)
2.KAMEHAMEHA HWY+OPP KUALOA RANCH で降ります。
(手前にKUALOAと付くバス停が何個かあるのでお間違えなく)
3.降りてすぐ目の前にクアロア牧場の入口があります。
帰りも反対車線の所にバス停があるので、そこから乗ってアラモアナ・センターまで帰るのが良いと思います。(バスでアラモアナ・センターから1時間ちょっとでした)
いよいよ乗馬となってまずは、女性から先にお馬さんが用意されて案内されていきました。
嫁さんの馬も用意されて乗っかり待っていると、その状態から既にお馬さんが少し暴れていて、私もお馬さんに乗り隣に着いたら、今度は私の馬と嫁さんの馬の相性が合わないらしく喧嘩しだしてしまい、嫁さんが怖がりリタイアしかけましたが、嫁さんのお馬さんを変更してもらいどうにか出発できました。
その後私のお馬さんも嫁さんのお馬さんもおとなしく1時間の乗馬を楽しむことが出来ました。
(嫁さんは緊張しすぎて景色を楽しむまではいけなかったようですが。。。)
私も乗馬に十分慣れてきたところで1時間の乗馬が終わってしまったので、出来たら90分とかのコースがあったらよかったです。
このクアロア牧場自体がとても綺麗な場所で気持ち良い場所だったので、今度は乗馬以外のものもトライしてみたいと思います。

I booked the one-hour course due to time constraints and a question about whether I would be driving the buggy for two hours.
Driving the buggy might require some getting used to at first, but I don't think it's particularly difficult. Instead of using a throttle, you push a lever located where the throttle is, which acts as the accelerator. Those who are used to motorcycles might feel a bit of discomfort. However, you'll get used to it quickly. I was told we would have a trial run at first, but before I knew it, I was on the main course. This means that very few people probably drop out or are forced to drop out.
If you wear your own sunglasses or regular glasses, it seems you don't need to wear the provided sunglasses. Since we are driving off-road, as long as your eyes are protected, that should be sufficient.
We drive through winding off-road paths and cross streams, going through places like the ones shown in the photos. If you have the time, you can enjoy the scenery while driving. However, since the basic premise is to maintain the formation, if you focus too much on that, you might miss some sights. It would be nice to have some extra driving comfort.
The reason I deducted one star is that compared to the two-hour course, there are fewer places to stop. This is obvious, but (laughs). We just passed by places like the dinosaur footprints and spots that seemed to be used in Top Gun. I had some prior information, so I was able to see those, but my friend who came with me seemed to miss them and looked a bit disappointed.
If you have the stamina and time, and are also interested in the movie world, the two-hour course might be recommended. I wasn't that familiar with it, so I enjoyed the one-hour course.
It's reassuring that the guide is Japanese.
1時間コースと2時間コースがあったので、時間の都合上と、
2時間もバギーを運転するの?という疑問があったので、
1時間コースで予約しました。
バギーの運転は最初はコツがいるかもしれませんが、
特に難しいものではないと思います。
スロットルではなく、スロットルのところについているレバーを押すとアクセルという感じです。バイクとかで慣れている人は少し違和感があるかもしれないですね。
でも、すぐ慣れます。最初お試しで走るって言われたんですが、
気付けば本コースに入ってたようです。
つまりは基本ドロップアウトする人・させられる人はほとんどいないんでしょうね。
自前のサングラスや普通のメガネをしていれば、
用意されたサングラスはしなくていいようです。
とりあえず、オフロードを走るので、目が保護されてればいいようなので。
オフロードをくねくね走り、小川も超えて、
写真にもあるようなところを走ります。余裕があれば景色を十分堪能しながら走れます。
ただ、基本隊列を乱さず走ることが前提なので、そこに意識集中していると、
見逃すこともあるかも。運転に余裕があるといいですよね。
ただ、星を一つ減らしたのは、
2時間コースとくらべて、立ち寄れる場所が少ないこと。
当たり前ですが(笑)
途中恐竜の足あとのところや、トップガン?で使われたようなとことか?
完全に横を通り過ぎただけです。
自分はある程度事前情報があったので、それを見れたのですが、
一緒に来ていた友人は気づかずスルーしたみたいで、少し残念そうでした。
体力と時間があって、映画の世界にも興味が深いようなら、
2時間コースがおすすめかもしれないですね。
俺はそこまで詳しくなかったので、1時間で楽しめました。
ガイドも日本人の方が案内してくれるので、安心です。

I borrowed a bike and rode south to the farthest part of the beach. It was secluded from everyone which made time more enjoyable. Less noise, more ocean. I snorkeled most of the day and relaxed. Again, very enjoyable.
However, the business and its employees is different story. They were wonderful, helpful, attentive, whatever other synonym out there that reflects on how a business should be.

I have been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in a sandbar tour. It was a morning-only tour, but I didn't feel that the time was too short. In fact, it was great to have a focused experience and make good use of the afternoon. The guide was entertaining, and the crew members were very kind.
The sandbar itself appeared up to my ankles, so I was very satisfied with that. I was able to take some great photos. The snorkeling gear was in good condition, and the life jacket was easy to use. I also brought a rash guard and a beach towel for warmth.
If I had known how good this was, I would have experienced a sandbar tour much earlier. I definitely want to participate again next time.

This was my first time participating in the tour. I checked the weather and tide conditions in advance to choose the date, but I was too optimistic. On the day, it was cloudy and quite cold for mid-May! For those deciding on a date in the future, it's definitely better to check the forecast specifically for Kaneohe, as the weather can be quite different from Honolulu.
To be strict, I think the tour organizers should limit the dates to sunny days and when the sandbar is accessible (knee-deep) to ensure higher satisfaction. As it stands now, the photos and reality are too different, and I believe participants may feel dissatisfied. Even if it's difficult to limit the dates, it would be good to include photos from cloudy days and provide clearer information about what to expect on days with bad weather.
● Customer Service
Everyone was very good. They were friendly and approachable.
● Sandbar
It doesn't look beautiful when it's cloudy, and it appears murky. It's also cold even in May.
● Snorkeling
It was cold, but once I got used to it, it was fun.
● Food
We had hamburgers, fries, stewed beans, pineapple, and drinks. The taste was just okay. The lemonade I chose honestly wasn't very good! I thought the hot drink after coming out of the sea was a very nice service!
● Restrooms
There were two on the boat.
That's all. Thank you.
今回初めてツアーに参加させて頂きました。天気と潮の満ち干きは事前に調べて日を選んだのですが、甘かったです。当日、曇りで5月半ばでしたが寒かった!
これから日取りを決める方は、予報は必ずカネオヘで調べたほうがいいです。ホノルルとカネオヘでは随分と天気が違うからです。
厳しく言うなら、ツアー企画側も、天気が晴れの日とサンドバーが出る時期(膝より下)で日取りを限定すると、高い満足度になるのではないでしょうか。今のままでは写真と現実が違いすぎて参加されたお客様は不満だと思います。
日の限定は難しくても、曇りの日の写真を載せておく、もう少し、天候の悪い日の事を詳しくわかりやすく書いておくと良いかなと思います。
●接客
みなさんとてもよかったです。フレンドリーで、気さくな方ばかりでした。
●サンドバー
曇りだと綺麗に見えないし、濁って見えます。また5月頃でも寒いです。
●スノーケル
寒かったですが、慣れると楽しかったです。
●食事
ハンバーガー、ポテト、お豆の煮込んだもの、パイナップルとドリンクでした。味はまあまあでした。チョイスしたレモネードは正直あまり美味しくなかったです!海から上がった後のホットドリンクはとても良いサービスだと思いました!
●トイレ 船に二カ所ついていました。
以上です。ありがとうございました。

I participated in this tour seeking snorkeling and beautiful seas.
The shuttle bus is quite cold, so a jacket is a must. Having a Japanese crew made me feel at ease.
First, we had free time at the sandbar. There was optional beach volleyball, and I enjoyed playing volleyball with people from various countries whom I had just met. Those who couldn't join in could just take photos, so there might be some extra time.
During lunchtime, we had cheese burgers made with grilled meat by the crew on the boat (while docked). Enjoying lunch while listening to the crew's casual guitar and singing created a uniquely Hawaiian atmosphere!
I almost got seasick during the sea turtle watching.
For snorkeling, they took care to ensure that even beginners would be fine. They provided plenty of time, and those who were satisfied could wait on the boat. It was quite cold from this point on, so I think having a T-shirt or long sleeves that you don't mind getting wet would be good.
シュノーケリングと綺麗な海を求めて参加しました。
送迎バスはかなり寒いので上着必須です。
日本語クルーが付いてくれ、安心できます。
まずサンドバーでフリータイム。自由参加のビーチバレーがあり、多国籍・初対面の方々とバレーボールを楽しみました。自分から参加できない方は写真を撮るだけなので時間が余りそうです。
ランチタイムは船(停泊中)の上でクルーの焼いたお肉のチーズバーガー。クルーの気ままなギター&歌を聴きながらのランチはハワイならでは!という雰囲気で楽しめます。
海ガメウォッチングが一番船酔いしかけました。
シュノーケリングは、初心者でも大丈夫なように配慮してくれてます。時間はたっぷり取ってくれており、途中で満足した方は船で待機もできます。

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。

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.

Our first scheduled tour was cancelled last minute for unknown reasons, but luckily we were able to reschedule for later in our vacation.
Anyways, it was pretty fun. The jeep was closed-topped and air conditioned; fairly comfortable.
Tour guide was great; laid back and flexible.
We didn't really spend much time at the Dole plantation. We didn't go to a coffee plantation, but did stop at a macadamia shop. We didn't stop at Byodo temple. We skipped lunch, but did stop at a fruit stand. We stopped at several scenic points of interest, but as expected, a lot of the time was spent getting from place to place. We did do a small hike, which I guess I might have missed that in the description as I was unprepared..bring shoes!
Decent tour if you prefer a small group (we were paired with one other couple).

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。
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.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日は天気もよく、ウミガメをご鑑賞いただけたようで嬉しく思います。
ご指摘いただいておりますサンドバーの水位につきましては、ツアーページ上でご案内させていただいております通り、潮の満ち引きの関係上、砂浜が見えない場合もございますことご理解いただけますと幸いです。しかしながら、ご期待のそった水面から砂地がでているサンドバーをご覧いただくことができず、残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
また、船の停泊位置からサンドバーまでは水の中を移動していただきますので、事前に水着の着用をお願いしておりますことご了承ください。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。

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。

The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable. However, the weather was not great; it was overcast, and the sea water was cold, which was completely different from the blue sky I had imagined, so I was very disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.
ピックアップは時間通り、バスの運転も問題なく、ガイドさんはとても面白く、好感が持て良かった。
ただ、お天気が今一で、ドンヨリしていて、海の水は冷たくて、想像していた青い空晴れ渡る空のもととは全然違うものだったので、とても残念だった。時期にもよるのかなぁ?と思いますが、その辺も書いて頂けると参考に出来ると思いました。

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。

This is my second time participating.
The contrast between the sky, the sea, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
I was able to see many sea turtles as well.
2回目の参加です。
とにかく、空と海と周囲の景色とのコントラストが綺麗です。
ウミガメとも沢山会えました。

We went on our honeymoon, and it became a very enjoyable memory. The captain kept the atmosphere lively throughout the shuttle bus ride, and we had a great time playing volleyball in the shallow waters and enjoying handmade hamburgers from the crew.
Snorkeling at the coral reef allowed us to swim closely with sea turtles and interact with colorful fish.
However, the weather was bad that day, and the strong winds made it quite cold, which was disappointing as we couldn't see many sea turtles.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back!
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
送迎バスよりキャプテンが終始盛り上げてくれ、浅瀬でのバレーボールやクルーの方の手作りハンバーガーなど、楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。
珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは、ウミガメと間近で泳げたり、色とりどりの魚達と触れ合うことができました。
ただ、当日の天気が悪く風も強かったため、ウミガメがあまり見れず、何よりも寒かったのが残念でした…。
またハワイに行く機会があったら、是非もう一度行きたいです!

It's a very enjoyable plan if you're with someone. However, I've heard that the sand mountain only appears 2-3 days a year. But the freshly grilled hamburgers were delicious, and it became a great memory.
連れと一緒ならとても楽しいプランです。
ただ、ほんとに砂山が出現は年に2-3日とのこと。
でもハンバーガー焼きたてでおいしいし良い思い出になりました。

I used the 2-hour horseback riding course. The route was varied, with views of the ocean and passing through filming locations of Jurassic Park, so I was satisfied with the horseback riding itself. The weather is a matter of luck, but it was disappointing that the weather was rainy.
乗馬2時間コースを利用しました。海も見えジュラシックパークの撮影地も通る変化にとんだコースで乗馬自体には満足でした。天気は運次第でしょうがないのだが、天気が雨交じりだったことだけが残念です。
