All Reviews for Windward East Oahu

After practicing snorkeling at the sandbar, playing beach volleyball, and enjoying a delicious lunch, we searched for sea turtles from the boat. Snorkeling in the vast coral reef was enjoyable even for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer! Also, the guide (a young woman) had an incredible way of taking photos!

サンドバーでのシュノーケリング練習やビーチバレー、美味しいランチの後には船上からのウミガメ探し。広大なサンゴ礁でシュノーケリング。泳ぎが苦手な私にも充分に楽しめました‼︎また、軽快な喋りのガイドさん(若い女性でした)の写真の撮り方が神がかってました‼︎

Best part of our vacation in Oahu! The guide was amazing and the views are spectacular!! Definitely a must!

Excellent adventure, accomodating and friendly staffs.

Thanks to the whole crew for showing us a good time as well as our visiting guests! We look forward to doing it again! Mahalo & Cheers!

It was a bit chilly, and the sea wasn't as shallow as I imagined, but I was able to have a great time playing in the shallow waters.

Instead of eating in the water, I had a hamburger inside the moving boat due to the strong winds. Additionally, the care and hospitality of the local staff were very impressive. The hot cocoa service after coming out of the sea and the guitar performance were excellent services.

I was able to see sea turtles properly, and feeding the fish allowed me to see them up close, which was interesting.

If the sea had been a bit warmer and there was no wind, it would have been a five-star experience!

やや寒い時期で海もそんなに浅くはなかったので、想像と違う部分がありましたが、
遠浅の海でしっかり遊べました。

海の中で食べるというより、風が強く移動の船の中でハンバーガーを食べました。
また、添乗員の現地スタッフの方々の気遣い、ホスピタリティはとても良く感じられました。
海から上がった後のホットココアサービスやギター演奏などは、とてもよいサービスでした。
ウミガメはちゃんと見られたし、魚の餌付けにより魚を間近で見られたのも、
面白かったです。

もう少し海が暖かくて、風がなければ、星５ですね～

My son and his wife participated in a tour for the first time in Hawaii. As for us parents, it was our second time joining. Once again, we were very satisfied. I'm glad we invited our son and his wife. We plan to join this tour again next year as a group of four. The sandbar was amazing!

息子夫婦は、初めてハワイであり、初めてのツアー参加でした。親夫婦は、二度目の参加。今回も、大満足でした。息子夫婦を誘って良かったと思っている。来年も四人でこのツアーに参加するつもりである。サンドバーは、素晴らしー！

This was my second time in Hawaii, and I visited Lanikai Beach for the first time! The ocean was incredibly beautiful and the clarity was amazing. I also climbed to the Pillbox, and although it was very tiring, I was able to enjoy the best views! I had plenty of time, so I was able to go into the city as well, and it was a lot of fun!

ハワイ二回目で初めてラニカイビーチに行きました！海はとても綺麗で透明度がやばかったです。
それにピルボックスに登り、とても疲れましたが最高の景色を堪能できました！
時間もたっぷりあったので市内にも行けて、とても楽しかったです！

I participated in this trip because I wanted to take my 5-year-old daughter to Kailua, where we went for our honeymoon! I was nervous until the pickup, but we safely boarded and headed to Kailua. There were changing rooms and lockers for valuables, so it was安心 for families with children. The staff were all friendly and kind. My daughter really warmed up and kept talking to Mieko (is that the right name?). I’m sorry for interrupting your work!

We headed to the beach at 9:30 and were able to relax until 3 PM with a lunch break in between. It was quite windy that day, which made things a bit challenging, but we had a really great time.

Next time, when my daughter can ride a bike, I’d like to go to Kailua Town.

Thank you to all the staff!

以前新婚旅行で行ったカアルアに、5歳の娘を連れて行きたくて参加させていただきました！
ピックアップまではドキドキしていましたが、無事に乗車しカアルアへ。
更衣室も、貴重品用のロッカーもあり、子連れでも安心です。
スタッフのみなさんもフレンドリー&親切でした。娘もすっかり打ち解けてしまい、みえこさん(名前あってます？)にずっと話しかけていました。お仕事のお邪魔してすいませんでした！

９時半にビーチへ向かい、ランチを挟んで３時までのんびり過ごすことができました。
当日はとても風が強くて少し大変でしたが、本当に楽しかったです。

次回は娘が自転車に乗れるようになったら、カイルアタウンに行きたいと思います。

スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました！

We participated during our honeymoon. Since neither of us speaks much English, having a Japanese guide was very helpful. Also, it was nice that the local staff spoke clearly, possibly because many Japanese people were participating.

As for the content, we were able to see turtles, beautiful corals, and colorful fish, which made us very satisfied.

However, it was unfortunate that the weather on the day was very cold due to strong winds and rain.

ハネムーン中に参加しました。
２人とも英語がほとんど出来ないので、日本語ガイドが付いているのは、大変助かりました。
また、多くの日本人が参加しているのもあってか、現地スタッフも分かり易く話してくれて良かったです。

内容としては、亀を見ることも出来ましたし、綺麗なサンゴ、色とりどりの魚達を見ることが出来大変満足しました。

ただ、当日の天気が風が強くて、雨も降ったりなど、非常に寒かったのが残念でした。

I participated in the morning session. I was picked up at the hotel. Most of the participants were honeymoon couples. Upon arriving at the port and heading to the sandbar by boat, we went turtle watching. There were so many sea turtles that I couldn't believe it!

After arriving at the sandbar, we took photos and went snorkeling. The sea was truly beautiful and mesmerizing. However, it was a bit cold since it was in the morning.

Afterward, we enjoyed sandwiches and snacks made by the tour guide on the boat. The light meal after coming out of the water tasted delicious. We arrived back at the hotel around 11:30. I was able to use my time meaningfully!

朝の部に参加しました。ホテルまで迎えにきてもらいました。参加者のほとんどがハネムーンのカップルでした。港に着いて船でサンドバーへ向かう途中、ウミガメウォッチング。こんなにたくさんいるのか！というほどたくさんのウミガメが見えました！
サンドバーに到着し、写真撮影やシュノーケリングをしました。海が本当に綺麗でうっとりしました。
ただ午前だったので少し寒かったです。
その後は船上で添乗員さんの作ってくれたサンドイッチとスナックをいただきました。海からあがったあとの軽食は美味しく感じました。
ホテルに着いたのは１１時半頃。有意義に時間が使えました！

The sandbar had beautiful weather, and I was able to take stunning photos. The snorkeling was satisfying with plenty of fish. I swam for the entire time, so much so that my legs hurt the next day; I was completely absorbed in it.

サンドバーは、お天気に恵まれ綺麗な写真がとれました。
シュノーケルは、魚が沢山いて満足。
時間いっぱい泳いだので、次の日は足が痛んだほど、夢中になれました。

Was a great tour. Guide was very knowledgeable and was very entertaining. Well worth the money. Definitely recommend.

This time, I signed up for a short course that included a light meal (sandwich and tea). I was excited from before arriving at the port, guided by the cheerful and energetic staff. They even helped us look for cute sea turtles while cruising... During the sandbar snorkeling, many staff members were there to watch over us properly... The ocean is truly beautiful. It might be a bit pricey since it's a place you can't visit on your own. The sandbar is natural, so depending on the time, it can be deep (laughs). However, it was a fun and reassuring tour that offered a different kind of enjoyment compared to Waikiki. Thank you very much.

今回は軽食付（サンドイッチと紅茶）の短いコースを申し込みました。
元気のいい明るいスタッフに案内されて港到着前からわくわくです。
クルーズしながらかわいいウミガメも探してくれて・・・
サンドバー・シュノーケリング時も多くのスタッフがきちんと見守ってくれて・・・
やっぱり海が美しいです。
個人で行けない場所なので少しお値段は高めかもしれません。
サンドバーは自然のものなので時間帯によっては深いです（笑）
でもワイキキとは違う楽しみ方が出来る安心の楽しいツアーでした。
ありがとうございました。

If it were possible to give more than 5 stars I would. The day from start to finish was well organized and ten times more fun than we expected! The zipline tour guides (Charlie, Krys and W) were FANTASTIC! They were fun, full of knowledge and went out of their way to help someone who was struggling with the hikes. The landscape was breathtaking and the lunch was yummy. Can't say enough about Kualoa Ranch and their staff.

Two years ago, I had a disappointing experience due to the worst weather when I participated. This time, I made sure to check the low tide. Now, all I needed was good weather!

When I left Japan, there was a rain forecast for Kaneohe, so I hesitated to cancel, but I decided to go for it and headed to Hawaii without canceling. By the time I arrived in Hawaii, the weather in Kaneohe had cleared up! I thought maybe this could turn out well as I boarded the bus and set off.

The water level was higher than I expected, but I was blessed with clear skies and was able to have my revenge. Since it was my second time, I didn't snorkel and just took a lot of photos. The water was so clear that I was able to see several sea turtles, and I was able to make my wishes. I highly recommend going when the water level is low.

2年前に参加した際に、最悪の天気で残念な思いをしました。今回もしっかりと干潮を調べていきました。あとは天気だけ！！
日本を出発する際に、カネオヘは雨予報だったのでキャンセルしようか迷いましたが、一か八かキャンセルせずにハワイへ出発。ハワイに着いた時にはカネオヘの天気が晴れになっていました！もしかしてこれは期待できるかもしれないと思いながらバスに乗り込み出発。
思っていたよりも水位は高かったけど、晴天に恵まれてリベンジが出来ましたー。2回目だったのでシュノーケルはせずに、写真ばっかり撮っていました。
水がキレイなのでウミガメちゃんも何頭も見ることができて、しっかり願い事をすることもできました。水位が低い時には是非オススメです。

It was very beautiful!! I was satisfied because I could see many sea turtles. However, surprisingly, it was deep until we reached the sandbar... I think it depends on the season, but some women were submerged up to their chests. In the photos, it looks like it's only knee-deep, so be careful as there were people who couldn't enter because they weren't wearing swimsuits.

とってもきれいでした！！海亀もたくさん見れたので満足です。
ただ、以外とサンドバーにたどり着くまでが深いです。。。時期にもよるのだと思いますが女性の方は胸のあたりまで浸かりました。
写真だと膝くらいなので水着を着てなくて入れない方もいたので注意ですね。

After arriving by bus from Waikiki, we set off on a boat! Our energetic Japanese guide provided a humorous sightseeing tour, and we reached the heavenly sea! At high tide, the water was up to our waists, and the contrast between the blue sea, the Ko'olau mountain range, and the emerald green sandbar was stunning. After enjoying the sandbar for about an hour, it was lunch time! The freshly grilled hamburgers from the boat's BBQ were delicious!

Next, we went on a turtle watching adventure while listening to the captain play the ukulele and sing! Luckily, a big turtle greeted us right in front of the boat. After that, we went snorkeling over a large coral reef! Before snorkeling, our Japanese guide carefully explained important safety precautions in an easy-to-understand manner, which made us feel very secure. Finally, we donned our fins, masks, and life jackets and entered the water! The clear sea was filled with many fish and corals, allowing us to enjoy a unique snorkeling experience. Other guests were able to swim with the turtles, which was enviable! Additionally, the local staff kept a close eye on safety, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worry. It was a thoroughly satisfying tour!

ワイキキからバスで到着後、ボートで出発！日本人の元気なガイドさんから冗談交えての観光ガイドもしてもらいながら天国の海へ到着！満潮で腰までつかるほどで、青い海とクアロア山脈とサンドバーのエメラルドグリーンのコントラストが最高でした。１時間ほどサンドバーを堪能した後はランチtime！ボートのBBQで焼きあがった出来たてのハンバーガーはとても美味しかった！
お次は船長のウクレレと生歌を聴きながらホヌウォッチングへ！運よくビッグなホヌがボートの前で迎えてくれました。その後は大きなサンゴの沖合でシュノケーリング！シュノケーリングの前には日本人ガイドさんから安全に関わる大切な諸注意を分かりやすく丁寧に説明してくれてとても安心しました。いざ、足ヒレ、マスク、ライフジャケットを着用して着水！透明な海の中にはたくさんの魚とサンゴがいて沖合ならではのシュノケーリングを楽しむことができました。他のお客さんはホヌと泳ぐことができたそうです。羨ましい！また、現地スタッフの方々も安全面に目を光らせていて安心して楽しむことができました。大満足なtourでした！

Had a great time the first time, I did it again. I did the same thing, got bicycle and rode to the end of Lanikai beach to find that spot I first saw, a secluded beach to myself. However this year was high tide and didn't have the beach, but still enjoyed to peace and quiet though. From there, I traveled all the back to Kailua, and kept on going north until it was time to go back. Then choose Bobs pizza, cannot go wrong. Will I go back and do this again; for sure!!
Thumbs up again on the great customer service, accommodating their customers, the reason of being in business. You can expand your business by start selling seminars on how to conduct great ethical business practices.

Captain bobs snorkel tour was a lot of fun. You get taken out to a shallow water area at first, to play around with volleyball, taking water photos, and then they give you a barbecue lunch. Then we're taken into shallow waters further out, but along the way we are looking for large turtle citing a. We saw many large turtles. When we stopped again we were let into the shallow waters(3-4ft) to swim with small fish, and snorkel with a breather pipe, to see live coral, and small fish. The whole time a performer was singing, and playing ukelele on top the ship, a really fun time. I would recommend capt bobs for a fun afternoon!!

After about 15 minutes on the boat, we reached the point where we could see sea turtles. You can only catch a glimpse of them when they come up for air, so it goes by quickly, but it’s quite exciting when you do see them.

After that, we went to the Angel's Sea. The view of the transparent emerald green sea, white sandy beach, blue sky, and white clouds spread out before us was breathtaking! I really felt it was worth going.

After eating a hamburger, we went to the coral reef for snorkeling. Perhaps because the wind was strong, the water clarity wasn't that great that day.

船に乗って１５分くらいして、ウミガメが見れるポイントへ。
息継ぎをする瞬間しか見れないので、あっという間ですが、見れたときは結構嬉しいです。
その後に天使の海。透明なエメラルドグリーンの海、白い砂浜、青い空、白い雲が一面に広がっている景色は圧巻です！本当に行って良かったと思いました。
で、ハンバーガーを食べた後にサンゴ礁に行ってシュノーケリング。
風が強かったせいか、この日は海の透明度はそこまで良くなかったです。

I participated in a two-hour course with my two nephews! Riding while being blown by the refreshing breeze in the mountains, valleys, and by the sea felt amazing! I was moved by the grandeur that you can’t experience in Japan. The horses were smart and already knew the course so well that they sometimes stopped to eat grass, but if you call out "NO! DON'T!" they lift their heads right away. They are all gentle horses suitable for beginners, so it's reassuring. It might be a bit lacking for those who have experience riding. However, one challenging part was the anxiety of getting there… Since there was no shuttle service, I had to figure out how to take Bus 55 from Waikiki to Ala Moana to Kamehameha Highway, which took about an hour and a half to get to Kualoa Ranch. I think the nervous excitement leading up to that was a good memory in a way! I'm really glad I chose this experience.

甥っ子2人を引き連れて２時間コースに参加！
山に谷に海に 爽やかな風に吹かれながら 乗馬が出来るのは とても気持ちが 良かったです！ 日本では、絶対に味わえない 壮大さに感動しました。 お馬さんも賢くて もはや 人が操らなくても コースを熟知してて、時々草を食べることもありますが すぐに NO! DONT！ と声をかければ顔を上げてくれます。初心者向けの優しいお馬さんばかりなので安心です。 乗馬体験のある人には少し物足りないかもです。 ただ、ひとつ 大変だったのは到着するまでの不安… 送迎なしのブランだったので、自力で調べワイキキ アラモアナからザ バス５５番に乗ってカメハメハハイウェイー行き クアロアランチまで、約1時間半かけて行きました。 それまでのハラハラドキドキもある意味 いい思い出かな？と思ってます♪
このブランを選んで本当に良かったです。

Everyone was friendly! The sandbar was the best part. Family friendly and fun for anyone! The only bad was that we didn't see anything while snorkeling and the coral reefs were rough.

Our guide Justin was great,couldn't have had a more informative person. His personality made the tour,along with the way he helped everyone special needs

I went with the first reservation of the day. I drove there with a rental car, and the location was very easy to find. There wasn't anyone at the reception who spoke Japanese, but showing the voucher was no problem at all. We waited until our scheduled time. You can buy drinks and snacks, and there are plenty of chairs for resting.

They ask you to store your belongings in a locker (it costs $5, and you get back $3 or $2 later), so if you keep your items to just a camera that you can hang around your neck and a wallet, you won't spend unnecessary money.

The horses are very calm, and I think people from children to relatively older adults can enjoy it. It's a leisurely walk that might make your inner thighs a little sore after an hour, but it's quite safe.

We had to wait for about 20 to 30 minutes until everyone was on a horse, so I ended up getting quite sunburned. Also, my clothes became very horse-smelling, so please wear clothes that you don't mind getting that way.

朝一番の予約で行きました。レンタカーで行きましたが、場所はとても分かりやすく、受付に日本語を話せる方はいませんでしたが、バウチャーを見せれば全く問題なし。時間まで待機。飲み物や軽食を買えるし、休憩だけでも椅子もたくさんあります。
ロッカーに荷物を預けるように言われるので（５ドルで後で３ドル？２ドル？戻ります）荷物は首からかけられるカメラやお財布程度にしておけば無駄にお金はかからないです。
馬はとてもとおとなしく、お子様から比較的ご年配の方まで楽しめると思います。１時間でちょっと内モモが痛いかな？というくらいの散歩程度で安心です。
全員馬に乗るまでひたすら２０～３０分待機、その後出発でしたのでかなり日に焼けてしまいました。後、服がとても馬臭くなりましたのでそうなっても良い服で行ってくださいネ。

We chose to rent a car and meet at the location because we wanted to drive around to other places. The scenery was undoubtedly exquisite, and it made me feel very happy. The tour itself ended early (around 10:30), so we could make good use of the remaining time. We drove around Makapu'u Point, and the color of the ocean was truly beautiful, another breathtaking view.

The tour price was a bit on the higher side (which is understandable in Hawaii), and the light snack was really just a light snack, which made me chuckle. However, I definitely think you should experience that stunning view at least once. Thank you for the enjoyable tour!

私たちは、他のところもドライブして回りたかったので、レンタカーを借りて現地集合を選択しました。景色は、間違いなく、もう絶品です。とっても幸せな気持ちになれました。ツアー自体も早く終わるので（10：30過ぎくらいには現地で解散）、後の時間も有効に使えます。マカプウ岬の方をドライブして回りましたが、海の色が本当に美しくこれまた絶景でした。
すこし、ツアー代金が高め（ハワイだから仕方ないですね）なのと、軽食が本当に軽食なのでつい笑ってしまいましたが、是非、一度はあの絶景に包まれてみてくださいって思います。
楽しいツアーをありがとうございました。

Due to my schedule, I couldn't go during low tide. If the tide had been out, I might have been more impressed. Also, it was raining. This is something you wouldn't know unless you go.

スケジュールの都合で、干潮の時間に行けませんでした。潮が引いていたら、もっと感動したかも。
あとは、雨が降っていました。これは行ってみないと分からないですが。

The meeting place had changed, and even at the pickup time, no one showed up, so I waited for about an hour. I started to feel anxious, but once the tour actually began, the Japanese guide provided a thorough and attentive experience. They took a lot of photos for us, and we had a great time. We were able to watch many turtles, and the sandbar was beautiful.

集合場所が変わってたこともあり、ピックアップ時間になっても全く来ず、1時間くらい待ちました。不安になりましたけど、ツアーが実際始まったら日本人ガイドの方がしっかりガイドして下さりました。写真もたくさん撮ってくださり、楽しめました。亀もたくさんウォッチング出来ましたし、サンドバーも綺麗でした。

砂州は海面下にありましたが、この美しい場所に失望することはありません。亀や魚と一緒に泳ぎ、明るい日差しを楽しむことができます。スタッフは皆温かく親切です。この場所をお見逃しなく。

The sandbar was well beneath the sea level, but you never be disappointed for this beautiful place. You can swim with turtles and fishes and have a brightest sunshine.
Staff are all warm and kind. Don't miss this place.

There was a mix-up with the pickup on the way, which led to me having to call the tour company and wait for about an hour, but I was eventually picked up and taken to Kailua. As an apology for the mix-up, they provided a free bike rental, and the staff were very kind and attentive, which was great.

In previous Kailua tours, I couldn't store my luggage, but with this plan, I was able to use a locker, so I didn't have to carry valuables to the beach, and I could leave my change of clothes, which was super convenient. Thanks to the rental bikes, I was able to visit Lanikai Beach and enjoy snorkeling. In the afternoon, I also had a great time shopping in Kailua Town. It was truly a fun day. I would like to sign up for this tour again the next time I go to Kailua. Thank you!

行きのお迎えの手違いでツアー会社に電話したり小1時間待つというハプニングがありましたが無事にピックアップしてもらいカイルアに。
手違いのお詫びに自転車を無料レンタルして頂いたりスタッフの方も親切に対応してくれてとてもちゃんとフォローしてくれたので良かったです。
今までのカイルアツアーだと手荷物を預けたりできなかったのですがこちらのプランだとロッカーに荷物預けられたので貴重品を海に持ち歩かなくてよいし着替えも置いとけるのですごい便利でした。
レンタル自転車のおかげでラニカイビーチも行くことができてシュノーケリングを堪能することができました。そして午後からはカイルアタウンでショッピングも満喫してホントに楽しい1日でした。次回、またカイルア行く際にもこのツアーを申し込みたいと思います。
ありがとうございました。

I went four years ago, and it was fun and beautiful! So I participated for the second time. It was just a morning tour, but I was able to spend the afternoon leisurely, making it a meaningful experience, so I highly recommend it. The energy of the female attendant was fantastic, which made it even more enjoyable! (We also took photos at the end!) I want to participate again the next time I go to Hawaii!

4年前にも行ったのですが、楽しかった＆美しかった！ので2回目の参加をしてきました。
午前中だけのツアーでしたが、午後がゆっくり使えるので有意義に過ごす事ができたのでおすすめです。
アテンドの女性の方のノリが最高でより楽しかったです！（最後に写真も撮って頂きました！）
次にハワイに行った時もまた参加したいです！
