All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

I've lived here for a few years and have really wanted to experience the sand bar. Overall the crew and boat were excellent.! It was crowded and frustrating with tourists not understanding English and basic instructions like "Do Not Stand Or Touch the Reef." Sad~ and makes me wish it was a more eco friendly tour.

It was my first time kayaking, and I was very satisfied as I was able to enjoy it for nearly three hours. The lunch was delicious, and there were places to take breaks, allowing us to have a great time until the evening.

初のカヤックでしたが、3時間近く丸々楽しむことができて大満足でした。お昼も美味しくて、休憩する場所もあり夕方までガッツリ楽しめました。

As it is called the "Sea of Angels," the ocean was incredibly beautiful. I was engrossed in snorkeling and playing with the fish, and searching for sea turtles, while enjoying a delicious hamburger for lunch! The BBQ cooked by the beautiful captain with a nice body was delicious. Seeing the beautiful sea, feeling the refreshing breeze, and swaying with the waves was so pleasant, fulfilling all my senses. It was a very fun day that brought me back to my childhood.

天使の海と言われるだけあって、とても綺麗な海でした。
シュノーケルで魚と戯れ、ウミガメさがしに夢中になり、お昼は美味しいハンバーガー‼︎
ナイスバディで美人の船長さんの焼くBBQ美味しかったです。
綺麗な海を見て、爽やかな風を感じ、波に揺られて気持ちよく、五感が満たされました。
とても楽しく子供心に戻った1日でした。

As a 30yr kamaaina , originally from Scotland, I took a visiting Scot on this voyage.. WHAT a joy!
Knowing the sandbar, the snorkeling and turtle viewing areas as a local...I was SO impressed how this professional bunch put on a safe and VERY authentic trip for all to enjoy the best of a windward bay on Oahu.
I can't imagine how anyone could be disappointed going on such a fun, relaxing, water adventure.
Kudos to the local staff who ALL did an exemplary job.

It was an activity to enjoy the scenery rather than the ride, as we ran at a leisurely pace. At first, I was really worried about whether I could handle two hours in the scorching heat, but while running, the wind made it cool and I was fine. I was disappointed that I couldn't film videos while riding.

ゆっくりしたペースで走るので、乗物を楽しむのではなく、景色を楽しむアクティビティでした。
最初とっても暑くて、炎天下2時間大丈夫かなと心配になりましたが、走行中は風を受けて涼しく大丈夫でした。乗りながらのビデオ撮影が出来なかったのが残念でした。

This beach is dog-friendly. You can see well-trained, smart dogs happily playing with their owners. My beloved dog also rode a bodyboard and surfed the waves. Bob's pizza is really delicious! It's even better to take it to go and eat it at the beach!

わんこOKのbeachです。躾された賢いわんこが楽しげに飼い主さんと遊ぶ光景がみられます。我が愛犬もbodyboardに乗って波乗りわんこ。してきました(〃∇〃) ボブさんのピザは本当に美味しいです！‘to go’してbeachで食べると尚さいこーっ

We took a large bus to the dock, and from there, we transferred to a boat to set off. It's an efficient way to experience everything, so it might be great for those who are short on time or want to pack in a lot of activities. We had imagined we would be able to snorkel a bit more leisurely, so that was a bit disappointing. If snorkeling is your main goal, it might be better to choose a different tour. However, if your aim is to visit the sandbar, this could be a good option.

大型バスに乗って船着き場まで移動、そこから船に乗り換えて出発。
効率よく体験ができるので、時間のない方や色んなものを詰め込んでみたい方にはいいいかも。
私たちは、もうすこしゆっくりシュノーケリングができるかと想像していたので、その点はが残念でした。シュノーケリングを目的に参加するなら別のツアーがいいかもしれません。
サンドバーの見学が目的なら、いいかも。

Although the perfect Shirahama didn't appear, I had a great time playing with a beach ball, taking photos, and enjoying myself. I was also very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming.

完全な白浜は現れませんでしたが、ビーチボールをひたり、写真を撮ったり、楽しく過ごせました。
ウミガメの泳ぐ姿もたくさん見られて大満足です。

It was a tour called "Surrounded by Nature," but it was disappointing to see the road and passing cars from the horseback riding course.

”大自然に囲まれながら”と言うツアーでしたが、乗馬コースから道路と走行中の車が見えるのが、残念でした。

On the day of the trip, we faced headwinds while heading to the uninhabited island, and we paddled desperately. The uninhabited island is a sanctuary for birds, and we walked around it to explore, but I went in flip-flops; I think marine boots would be easier for walking if possible. On the way back, there was no wind, and we made good progress. In the end, we had to pull the kayaks back ourselves, which I think would be tough for just the girls. There are three types of lunch to choose from, and I recommend the sandwich.

当日は無人島へ向かう行は向かい風で、必死に漕ぎました。無人島は鳥の聖地で一周歩いて見学しますが、私はビーサンで行ったのですけれども、できればマリンブーツの方が歩きやすいと思います。帰りは風もなく順調に進みました。最後にカヤックを自分達で引いて帰らなければいけなかったのでこれも女子同士だと大変だと思います。３種類の選べるランチがついていますが、私はサンドイッチがお勧めです。

Riding a four-wheeler through the magnificent nature while enjoying the scenery was very fun and moving. As a note, sunglasses, a mask, and clothes that can get dirty are essential. I wish there had been a bit more time to practice driving skills at the beginning.

雄大な自然の中を景色も楽しめて四輪バギーで颯爽と走るのはとても楽しくて、感動でしました。注意点としては、サングラス、マスク、汚れてもいい服が必須です。
もう少し最初に運転技術を練習する時間があればと思います。

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately, the water level was higher due to the rain, and the visibility was a bit poor. Still, the sea was very beautiful, and the guide was interesting, and the staff were friendly, so I enjoyed it! If the weather had been good, it would have been truly amazing!

Also, I brought my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children, but I regretted not bringing small floaties for them. (It's dangerous if you don't hold them securely to prevent them from drifting away.) There were life jackets for kids, but they were too big for my 1-year-old, so I had to hold him, and my 3-year-old was cold, so we couldn't stay in the water for long. It was a bit challenging to hold both of them.

期待して行ったのですが、残念なことに雨が降った後のため水かさも増していたのと、透明度が少し悪かったです。ただ、それでもとてもキレイな海だったし、ガイドさんも面白くスタッフさんたちも感じが良かったので、楽しめました！
天気が良ければ本当に最高だったのに！
あと、1歳と3歳の子供を連れて行ったのですが、小さな子供用の浮き輪が無いため、持参していけば良かったと後悔してます。(流されないために、しっかり押さえておかないと危ないですが)
ライフジャケットも子供用はありましたが、1歳児には大きくつけられないので、抱っこしたままで、3歳も寒かったため、ずっと海に入って居られず、2人抱っこして居たので、少し大変でした。

Had great experience kayaking and snorkeling in the beautiful bay! Great guides with little stories about the historical background (and super supportive in care you're not fully comfortable).
The tour doesn't make a stop at the famous "sand bar", so not recommended to those who wish to do some photo shooting there.

I chose the 2-hour horseback riding course, which takes you to movie filming locations! I was really moved by the vast land! I'm so glad I participated because I got to experience nature that you can't find in Japan. The horses were gentle and very cute. However, I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't choose other activities with the 2-hour horseback riding course. But I wonder if the 1-hour ride doesn't go to the movie locations? Walking through that vast land on horseback was a precious experience. I'm glad I chose the 2-hour option!! I plan to participate again next year! ♫

乗馬２時間コースを選択
映画のロケ地を巡るコース！
広大な大地にとても感動しました！
日本では絶対に味わえない大自然に触れることができて本当に参加して良かったです。
お馬さんも優しくてとっても可愛いです。
ただ、乗馬２時間コースだと他のアクティビティを選択できなかったのでそれが少し残念でした。
ですが１時間の乗馬だと映画のロケ地までは行かないのかな？と思います。
あの広大な大地を乗馬で歩けたのは貴重な体験です。２時間選んで良かったです！！
来年もまた参加しようと思います♫

A wonderful trip with great views and the sandbar is spectacular. The crew were great, and Jenner was especially great and super friendly and entertaining. Our captain was also friendly and took some great pictures of us on the boat. Highly recommended and will do again when in Honolulu.

Due to the traffic from the parade, my name wasn't called at the meeting time, which made me a bit anxious. However, everything turned out fine. Since this is also a meeting point for various tours, I think the guides should be more mindful when calling names. The cruise guide was cheerful and had interesting stories. The hamburger was surprisingly delicious! There are also restrooms, so no worries there. We visited several spots where we could see sea turtles, and I was able to see them about twice, but it was just for a moment, so I had to really focus. The sea is beautiful and shallow. When moving from the boat to the sandbar, it gets a bit deep, but you can borrow life jackets, so there’s no need to worry, even for children. They also take you to deeper spots for snorkeling. On the way back, you'll be getting on the bus while still wet, so it's better to prepare a simple change of clothes or bring extra towels. I'm glad I participated.

パレードによる渋滞のためか、集合時間になってもなかなか名前が呼ばれず、ドキドキしました。が、大丈夫でした。ただ、各種ツアーの集合場所でもあるので、ガイドの方が名前を呼ぶのは意識された方がよいかと思います。クルーズガイドの方は明るく話が面白かったです。ハンバーガーもビックリおいしかった！トイレもあり、心配ありません。ウミガメが見えるスポットを複数回ってくれるので、2回ほど見ることができました、が一瞬だったりするので、目を凝らして見ました。海はきれいで遠浅です。船からサンドバーに移動する際、少し深いですが、ライフジャケットを借りられるので、子供でも心配ありませんでした。シュノーケリングに深い場所にも連れて行ってくれます。帰りは濡れたままバスに乗るので、簡単な着替えかタオル多めに用意した方がベターです。参加してよかったです。

I had a very enjoyable day! First of all, the guide was incredibly fun! She was bright and attentive to her surroundings. On the day of the tour, instead of boarding a boat with only Japanese people, we took an international boat. As a result, it was a smaller group, which I think was great. The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious, and we were able to see many sea turtles.

とても楽しい1日を過ごせました！
まずガイドのお姉さんが最高に楽しい！明るくて周りをしっかり見てくれている方でした。
当日、日本人だけの船には乗らず、インターナショナルな船に乗船。結果、少人数になり良かったと思います。お昼のBBQもとても美味しかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。

Love the crew! They made it so much fun! Thank you so much for this memorable experience! We cannot wait to come back next year!!!

This was our first time ziplining and it was awesome. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back!

The guide also took photos and really made it fun! The only disappointing thing was that since it was advertised as a barbecue, I was expecting a lot of meat and vegetables, but what came out were hamburgers. >_<

ガイドさんも写真を撮ってくれたら盛り上げてくれたりとっても楽しかったです！！
ただ１つ残念だったのは、バーベキューと書いていたので沢山のお肉や野菜を期待していたのですが出て来たのはハンバーガーでした>_<

We took our 10-month-old baby along for the adventure. They provided life jackets for babies, which made us feel safe while boarding. I thought we could sit the baby on the sand, but unfortunately, the water depth at the sandbar was about 120 cm, so we ended up putting the baby in a float. I guess that's just luck at that moment...

The sea turtle watching was great; we were able to see many sea turtles, which was satisfying. The guide was energetic and very kind in taking care of the baby, which we really appreciated.

０歳１０ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れで挑みました。赤ちゃん用のライフジャケットも用意されており、安心して乗船できました。ベビーを砂に座らせることができるのではないかと思っていたのですが、残念ながら、サンドバーの水深が１２０cmくらいあり、浮き輪に入れて浮かべる感じになりました。こればかりはその時の運ですね・・。
ウミガメウォッチングはたくさんのウミガメを見ることができて、満足です。ガイドのお姉さんが元気でベビーに対するケアも親切にしてくださって、ありがたかったです。

The sand at Blue was very beautiful, and it was a great experience. I was able to see sea turtles as well. Although it was advertised as a BBQ, they actually served hamburgers. However, they were delicious, so it was fine.

サンドブルーがとてもきれいでいい体験になりました。ウミガメもしっかり見れました。BBQとあるけど実際はハンバーガーの提供。でも美味しかったのでよいです。

If you only do one thing here do the premier movie tour.. The afternoon cruise was a nice way to finish the visit

It was a beautiful trip! Captain Bob's group is phenomenal! Kanehone bay sandbar is spectacular: it is a sandy "language" in the middle of the sea, and although it is true that there is only sand, it is amazing the excitement of swimming, playing volleyball and snorkeling! Great BBQ. Thanks for everything.

We participated as a family of three. The sea was beautiful, and we played volleyball on the water, which was a fun first experience. Luckily, we also got to see sea turtles, which was great. I was impressed by the staff's kind and attentive service. Oh, and the hamburgers for lunch were delicious too. I would love to participate again if I have the chance.

家族3人で参加しました。海は綺麗で、海の上でバレーボールをしましたが初めての経験で楽しかったです。運良く海亀も見られて良かったです。
また、スタッフの方々の親切でしっかりした対応には感心しました。あっお昼食のハンバーガーも美味かったですよ。機会が有ればまた参加したいと思います。

When we arrived at the sandbar, it started to rain, and we couldn't see the sandbar in its original form. However, compared to the surrounding sea, the color was clearly different and very beautiful.

サンドバーに着くと雨が降り出し、本来のサンドバーの姿を見ることが出来ませんでした。ただ、周りの海と比べて、明らかに色が異なりすごく綺麗でした。

First time to the islands for my fiancee and I, and we weren't sure on what to do. So many different activities and excursions to choose from, it's like how do you know which one to do???
Well, we are sure glad we chose this one!!! So much fun in every aspect!! The scenery is amazing in itself so it was hard to complain. But the tour was awesome, we loved hanging out at the sandbar, having a few drinks, taking great pictures, and playing volleyball. Oh and the lunch....seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had!! Then snorkeling on the reef was so much fun!! Got to see so much marine life and also the sea turtles!! But most of all what made the tour truly amazing, was the awesome staff! They made us feel so welcome!! They were super friendly, truly knowledgeable, and all around good people.
If their is one thing I took away from this tour is that, the staff/people make it truly wonderful. This tour is a MUST is you're going to Oahu.

It rained a little the day before, so the water was a bit murky, but the sea was beautiful! The tide was almost high, with water up to chest height, but it felt great! It's reassuring that someone speaks Japanese to guide us! I want to participate again!

前日に少し雨が降って、少し濁っていましたが、海は綺麗でした♡
ほぼ満潮で胸の高さくらいまで水がありましたが、気持ちよかったです！
日本語の方が案内してくださるので安心です！！
また参加したいです(๑'◡͐'๑)

The wind was strong, and I struggled to paddle the kayak, but I was helped along the way! The scenery was beautiful, and I definitely want to come back. The instructor, Leo, was a lot of fun and made for great memories! Thank you!

風が強くてカヤックを漕ぐのに悪戦苦闘しましたが、途中運んで下さって助かりました！！そして景色がとても綺麗で、絶対また来たいと思いました。インストラクターのLEOさん、凄く楽しくて良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございます。

Traveled with my daughter and we both had an amazing day at the sand bar. Crew was great. We saw lots of sea turtles which I really loved.
