I participated in the morning plan on Saturday the 25th. I chose this plan because I wanted to go shopping in the afternoon, and I enjoyed it more than enough! On this day, I encountered a manta ray, and there were very few people, so looking at the photos, it feels like we had the sandbar all to ourselves! Above all, the warmth and kindness of the staff helped create the best memories. My best friend and I participated together, and we both get seasick easily, but thanks to Yukiko from the staff, we had no worries about seasickness at all, and it turned out to be the best day!
I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!!!
25日の土曜日の午前中のプランに参加させていただきました。
午後から買い物に行きたかったのでこのプランにしましたが、十分すぎるほど楽しめました!
この日はマンタにも出会え、人も少なくて、写真を見ると、まるでサンドバーを独り占めしているみたい!
そして何よりスタッフの皆様の温かさと親切さに、最高の思い出を作ることができました。
親友と2人での参加で、船酔いがひどい2人でしたが、スタッフのゆきこさんのおかげで、心配していた船酔いも全くなく、最高の日になりました☆
またハワイに行ったときは必ず参加します!!!

I participated in the first tour of the morning, wondering what kind of place it would be as I boarded the boat and saw the sandy beach with knee-deep seawater. The energetic young lady's explanations were great, and I thought, "Are they contracted with the tour? Are they promoting it?" because so many sea turtles appeared, causing cheers all around! We walked and swam... A cool, dark-skinned young man also paid attention to safety, which made me, a first-time snorkeler, feel at ease. The warm tea and sandwiches, riding the bus back while still wet, is that the Hawaiian way? By the way, one of the young ladies who participated brought a "cross that absorbs moisture... bought at a sports store," and I thought, "That makes sense!"

I participated with my 11-year-old daughter and my 68-year-old mother. We had a great time; it was different from the four-wheeler experience we had before.
I had heard that the staff's response was poor, but they were very nice (they didn't speak Japanese), incredibly polite, kind, and attentive to safety.
We were able to fully enjoy the great outdoors, and it was a lot of fun.

The sandbar is likely more enjoyable on low tide, but it seems you can still have a decent time even when the land isn't exposed. When I went, there was just enough of a path left when we arrived, but by the time we left, the land was gone.
On the day I participated, there were about 100 people, but the area to play in is large, so it wasn't too bothersome. You won't have the ocean all to yourself, though.
The staff were kind, which was nice, but I wish they would refrain from smoking on the sandbar.
The turtles and snorkeling were pretty average; the main attraction is the sandbar.
I think it's enjoyable for elderly people and families as well.
サンドバーは、干潮の日のほうが楽しめるでしょうが、陸地が出ていない日でもそこそこ楽しめそうです。私の行ったときはついたときにギリギリ一本道が残っていて、帰る頃には陸地はなくなっていました。
私の参加した日は100人ぐらい人がいましたが、遊べる範囲は広いのでそんなに気にはなりませんでした。海を独り占め、って感じにはなりませんが。
スタッフの方は親切でよかったですが、サンドバーで煙草を吸うのだけはやめてほしかったです。
カメやシュノーケルはまあ普通、メインはサンドバーでしょう。
お年寄りや家族連れでも楽しめると思います。
Thank you for participating in the Angel's Sea Secret Sandbar Cruise. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time at the sandbar!
Regarding smoking, while smoking is prohibited on the boat, there are currently no legal restrictions on smoking at the sandbar. However, we will share your feedback with our staff to ensure we consider our customers' comfort in the future. Thank you for sharing your experience! We look forward to welcoming you again.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but I hesitated about the sandbar because I heard it can be heavily influenced by the weather. However, I always thought I should try it someday, so I decided to give it a shot. I wanted to make sure I could walk on the sandbar, so I chose a day when the tide would be close to zero during low tide. After that, it was up to the weather, but on the day of the trip, we were blessed with clear skies and encountered stunning views. The staff even said, "Today is super lucky!" The contrast between the white sandbar and the deep blue water was striking and beautiful. Walking in the middle of the ocean felt truly surreal. The staff acted as our photographer, giving us poses to strike, and we were able to take wonderful family photos.
After that, it was snorkeling time, and my husband and daughter participated. I took some time to explore the sandbar before returning to the boat to watch the snorkeling. It seemed quite deep, but they had a lot of fun seeing many fish. They mentioned that they would have liked a bit more time. The morning tour has a shorter duration, so that's understandable. We enjoyed our sandwiches and drinks leisurely, and there was no wasted time, which made us very satisfied. The staff were always energetic and kept the atmosphere lively. They promptly pointed out where the sea turtles were, so we were able to see quite a few. Everything was packed into a short amount of time, and both my husband and daughter were extremely happy. They even thanked me, saying, "Thanks, Mom!" I definitely want to participate again next time.
ハワイには何度も行っていますが、サンドバーは天候にかなり左右される…と聞いていたので躊躇していました。でも、いつかは…と思っていたので初挑戦。天候は仕方ないとしてもサンドバーはしっかり歩きたいと思い、干潮時の潮位が0に近い時間帯に当たる日を選びました。後は天候次第でしたが、当日は本当に晴天で、素晴らしい景色に出合えました。スタッフの方も今日は超ラッキーですよ~と!白いサンドバーから深いブルーへのコントラストもはっきりとしていて見事でした。海の真ん中を歩いてるのは本当に不思議な気分。スタッフの方がカメラマンをして下さり、ポーズも指示して頂いて、素敵な家族写真が撮れました。その後シュノーケリングタイムで、主人と娘が参加。私はしばしサンドバーを散策?して船に戻り、シュノーケリングを見学。かなり深かったようですが、魚もたくさん見られて楽しかったそうです。本人たちは、もう少し時間が長くてもいいかなぁと。午前中のコースはツアー自体の時間が短いので仕方ありませんね。サンドウィッチと飲み物をゆっくり頂いて、無駄な時間がなく、とても満足でした。スタッフの方は常に元気で盛り上げてくれました。海がめのいる場所も即座に教えて下さるので、結構見る事が出来ました。短い時間の中で凝縮されていて、主人も娘も大満足。ママありがとう~と感謝されてしまいました。次回もまた是非参加したいと思います。

This is our second time participating as a family, and we had a great time. At the sandbar, the timing of low tide doesn't always align perfectly, so the water level can reach up to our knees. Standing there and looking around gives you a strange feeling as if you're in the middle of the ocean. If you have small children, not being able to snorkel might reduce the fun a bit. Turtles can be seen everywhere. I wish it were a bit cheaper for the kids...
今回家族で2回目の参加ですがとても楽しめました。
サンドバーではなかなかうまいタイミングで干潮にならないのでひざぐらいまでは海面があります。
あそこにたって周りを見渡すと海の真中にいるので不思議な感じになります。
小さいお子さんがいるとシュノーケルができないと楽しさが半減するかもしれません。
亀はいたるところで見れます。子どもがもう少し安いをいいのですが・・・。

We participated in a tour with lunch as a family. The air conditioning in the car was quite strong. We were divided into a cruiser and a smaller boat, and we were on the smaller boat. While it may not have been as stylish, it was nice to be surrounded by families with small children, creating a homely atmosphere.
We saw plenty of sea turtles, and at the sandbar, the staff helped with taking photos and even got everyone involved in beach volleyball. The snorkeling lasted about 30 to 40 minutes, and they constantly reminded us from the boat to be careful as "the coral can cut your feet."
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was exceptionally delicious, and we appreciated the prompt drink service as soon as we boarded, as well as the warm drinks after snorkeling (it was quite windy and cold that day).
While it does depend on the weather, I think it's worth going at least once.

行きの車中はクーラーがかなりきいてました。
船はクルザーと小さめのボートに分かれて乗りましたが私たちは小さめの船でした。かっこよさでは劣りますが家族連ればかりで小さなお子さんたちもいてアットホームな感じでこちらで良かったと思いました。
ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、サンドバーではスタッフの方が撮影に協力してくれたりビーチバレーをして盛り上げてくれました。シュノーケリングは30~40分ほどあり「珊瑚の上は足が切れるので気をつけてくださ~い」と常に船上から声かけしてくれてました。
ランチのBBQハンバーガーは絶妙に美味しく乗船してすぐにドリンクのサービスやシュノーケリング後の温かいドリンク(この日は風が強く寒かった)の心遣いも嬉しかったです。

The sandbar that forms in the ocean was indeed beautiful. When the boat arrived at the sandbar, we first had a photo session, and the staff were very cooperative in taking pictures. This lasted about 20 minutes.
After that, we went snorkeling, but this time was less than five minutes. My child's mask didn't fit well, and I was a bit late to start, so we ended up finishing in just 2-3 minutes! This was far too short. I've done a lot of snorkeling before, but I've never experienced such a brief session.
To make matters worse, on the way back, the staff jokingly mentioned that tips would be appreciated. From my perspective, I thought we had already paid for the experience, including tips.
One reason for the short snorkeling time might be the delay with the pickup vehicle. In fact, the pickup car didn't arrive until about 15 minutes after the scheduled time. I wondered if someone was running late. Just as I was thinking of calling, the car arrived, but no one was inside. It seemed like it was just delayed. After about five minutes of riding, we were made to switch to another bus, which was eerily quiet. As I walked down the aisle to find an open seat at the back, someone said, "How long are you going to make us wait?!"
We had been waiting for 10 minutes before the scheduled time, yet it felt like we were the ones who were late. Now that I think about it, the bus was parked far away when we switched, which seemed like an attempt to hide the fact that they were late.
The ocean was mystical and beautiful, but honestly, I cannot recommend this experience. I'm sorry.
海の中にできる島サンドバー。確かに美しかったです。
ボートがサンドバーに到着すると、まず撮影タイム。スタッフの方も撮影に協力してくれます。そんな時間が20分ほど。
そしてそのあとシュノーケル。この時間なんと5分足らず。
子供のマスクがうまく調節できず、ちょっと出遅れた私は、2~3分で終了!!これはあまりにもひどすぎました。今までシュノーケルを散々してきましたが、こんな短時間は初めてです。
おまけに帰りは、スタッフが冗談ぽくではありますが、チップをいただければなんて。こちらから言わせれば、チップも込みで参加費払ってるんではっと思いました。
なんでこんなにシュノーケルが短いのか、原因の一つは送迎の車のせいかも??
実はお迎えの車、集合時間15分ぐらいすぎてもお迎えの車が来なかったんです。どこかで遅刻した人がいるのかな~。電話しようかな~とその時、車が来たのですが誰も乗っておらず。ただ単に遅れたたけのようです。5分ほど乗ったあと、別のバスに乗り換えさせられたのですが、そのなかはシーンとしており、一番後ろの開いている席に行こうとバスの通路を歩いていたら、「いつまでまたせんだよ」と言われ!!!
私たちは、集合時間の10分前から待っていたのに私たちが遅刻した雰囲気。そういえば乗り換える時も、バスから離れたところに止め。今考えると遅刻したのを隠すため?と思うような行動でした。
海は神秘的で美しかったですが、正直お勧めできません。
ごめんなさい。
Thank you for your patronage.
We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication that may have prevented you from fully enjoying the tour.
1. Regarding the delay of the shuttle van
We apologize for the long wait due to traffic congestion on the day of your tour. We appreciate your understanding that delays in the arrival of the shuttle can occur due to traffic.

4. Regarding tips
If tips are not listed under "what's included" on the tour page or voucher, please note that tips are not included in the tour price. We kindly ask that you pay approximately 10-15% based on your satisfaction at the location.

I participated with my husband. It was my first time, but the staff were very kind and taught us well, which made me feel at ease. It seems that the plan was to practice in a nearby river first and then head to the beach once we got used to it, but unfortunately, on the day we participated, we couldn't go to the beautiful beach in Kailua due to strong winds. However, the river was fun, and we had a course where we went upstream and then came back down. While enjoying the scenery around us, the staff provided guided explanations, making it feel like an adventure, and it was really enjoyable. I would like to participate again.

I was worried about whether I would be able to see the beautiful sandbar due to the cloudy weather, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had cleared up! The sensation of stepping barefoot on the mysterious beach that appeared in the middle of the ocean was amazing! This tour focuses on experiencing the sandbar, so getting to that location is a priority. It was fun to see sea turtles and take photos along the way, but if I had to say something, I think the meals could be a bit more substantial. For example, having lunch on the sandbar would be great... (there may be regulations, though...), having just one sandwich on the boat feels a bit lacking. I'm looking forward to it!
あいにくの曇りの天候できれいなサンドバーに会えるか心配でしたが,サンドバーに到着するころには天候も回復!海のど真ん中に現れた不思議な砂浜を素足で踏みしめる感覚は最高でした!このツアーはサンドバーを体験することがメインなのでその場所に行くことを重視しています.途中ウミガメを見たり写真撮影は楽しかったですが,しいて言えば食事がもう少し充実していると良いと思います.例えばサンドバーの上でランチとか・・(規制があるのかもしれませんが・・),船上でサンドイッチ1枚はちょっとさびしいです.期待しています!
Thank you for enjoying your time at the sandbar! The early morning plan you participated in only includes sandwiches, but our recommended afternoon plan features a barbecue lunch.

It felt a bit chilly, perhaps due to the overcast sky, and we only walked or waded in the shallow water. It would have been nice to have more time to swim, but we only circled around the boat for a short while. I heard there were sea turtles in the distance, but I couldn't see them. It's a shame because the staff were friendly and left a good impression.

I previously went to Kailua by bus, and with the waiting time and transfers, it took about two hours from Waikiki. The tour shuttle bus arrived in about 30 minutes from the hotel, which I thought was a significant advantage for making effective use of time.
It was a guided kayak tour, so I had to go on my own after watching a video, but I couldn't remember everything perfectly since I needed to pay attention to both the visuals and subtitles. However, when I later asked the staff about things I didn't understand, they kindly explained everything, which made me feel at ease before setting off.
Carrying the kayak to the water was quite challenging for two women and took some time, but we managed. The launch site for kayaking was designated, and the staff helped us out.
We kayaked to the nearest uninhabited island, landed, and surprisingly stayed longer than expected because there were birds and great views. We even encountered a turtle along the way, and we completed the round trip to the uninhabited island without capsizing. For lunch, we could choose from several places, and I picked pizza, which I heard was popular among locals, and it was a satisfying meal.
After that, I really wanted to go to Lanikai Beach, so I rented a bike for $10 and got there in less than an hour, hurriedly took some photos, and dipped my feet in the ocean before heading back. The cycling route was fantastic, allowing me to enjoy the sea and greenery.
Although I didn't use them, I was pleased that snorkeling gear and mats were available for free, and bike rentals were half price. Overall, it was a tour that my friends and I were very satisfied with.
カイルアには、以前、自力でバスで行きましたが、待ち時間や乗継入れると、ワイキキから2時間くらいかかりました。
ツアーの送迎バスでは、ホテルから30分程で到着し、時間を有効に使えるのは大きなメリットだと思いました。
ガイドなしのカヤックツアーだったので、ビデオをみて自力で行くのですが、映像も字幕もみないとなので、完璧には覚えられませんでした。後から、スタッフの方にわからないことを聞くと親切に教えてくれたので、安心して出発することができました。
カヤックを水辺まで運ぶのが女2人だとなかなか大変で時間もかかりましたが、どうにかなりました。海でのカヤックの発着場所が決まっていて、スタッフの方が助けてくれました。
カヤックで、一番近い無人島までいき上陸、鳥がいたり、眺めがよかったりで意外と長居しました。途中亀に遭遇することもできて、転覆することなく無人島の往復でカヤックは終了しました。お昼は何店舗からか選べて、地元でも評判だと聞きピザを選び、満足なランチでした。
その後、どうしてもラニカイビーチに行きたかったので、10ドルで自転車を借り、1時間足らずで行ってあわただしく写真撮って少し海につかって帰ってきました。サイクリングコースも海や緑を感じられて最高でした。
使う機会はありませんでしたが、シュノーケルやゴザなど無料で借りられるのはうれしく、レンタサイクルも半額でした。
友達ともども大満足のツアーでした。

It was a memorable sea-kayaking trip. Just be aware of one small detail: the bathroom/restroom facility is suitable only for temporary bath & cloth change. Very much likely you have to come back for a real full bath at your hotel. Aside from this, every else (which counts towards 99% of the trip) is great !!

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited the sandbar I had always dreamed of.
On the way there, the guide's stories (in English) were interesting, so I wasn't bored on the bus, and the boat ride was fun too. We participated as a family, and my 4-year-old son was quite active, which caused some trouble for the staff and other participants, but everyone was very kind to us. I am grateful for that.
The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy and cold, and the tide was high, so I couldn't fully enjoy the charm of the sandbar. Since it's a natural activity, it is definitely affected by the weather... On the way back, we even saw sea turtles from the boat. The tour itself had delicious lunch, and I was very satisfied.
I hope to participate again when the weather is nice.

ファミリーでの参加、しかも4歳の息子が一緒で、全然大人しくしていなかったので、スタッフの方やほかの参加者の方々に大変ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さんにとても良くしていただきました。
感謝しています。
残念だったのは天気がいまいちだったことです。
雨がぱらついて寒かったり、潮が満ち気味だったりで、サンドバーの魅力を堪能することができませんでした。やはり自然のアクティビティなので、どうしても天候に左右されてしまいますよね…
帰りがけに、船の上からもウミガメが見れました。
ツアー自体はランチも美味しかったし、大変満足です。
今度は天気のいい時に、また参加できたらいいなあと思います。

I think the difference lies in where companies can stand out since what you can see is the same across the board.
The good things were that they arrived almost on time, the service was good, and the explanations on the boat were well done.
What was disappointing was that the talks weren't very entertaining, and the biggest letdown was that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling. It might have been unavoidable due to the large number of participants.
However, to come back without seeing a single fish was really disappointing. The sandbar was beautiful, and they actively took photos, which was nice, but I wanted to see the fish. It was very disappointing that they didn't guide us to the spots where we could actually see them and just proceeded mechanically.
見れるものはどの会社でも同じだからどこで差をつけるかだと思います。
よかったことは、ほぼ時間通りに迎えがきたこと、対応はよかったこと、船での説明がよかったこと。
残念だったのは、あまりトークが面白くなかったこと、一番大きかったのはスノーケルで魚が全然見えなかったこと。参加人数が多かったので仕方のないことだったかもしれません。
しかし、魚一匹も見れずに、帰ってきてくださーいって。。非常に残念です。
サンドバーは綺麗だったし、写真も積極的に撮ってくれたりしてよかったですが、お魚さんみたかったのに、ちゃんと見えるポイントも案内せず、事を機械的にすすめていたことが非常に残念でした。
Thank you for using our services.
We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the sandbar. Please understand that the number and types of fish you can see may vary from day to day, as they are wild creatures.
However, we will take your feedback into consideration and work with the tour operator to ensure that we can provide a more satisfying experience for all participants.
We look forward to serving you again.

It had been years since I played at the beach, so I was initially anxious, but thanks to our guides Mark and Yasu, I had a wonderful experience (even though I got really sunburned…). Thank you!
After arriving in Kailua, I felt like we wasted over an hour waiting for the kayak after the briefing. There wasn't enough time to visit Kailua Town, and since we had to meet at 11:30 but the pizza place opened at 11, I had to settle for a mediocre loco moco... (After kayaking, we changed and left right away, so there was no time for lunch.)
However, the content, scenery, and staff were all excellent, so next time I want to choose a course where we can take our time. Mark mentioned he would email photos to those who wanted them, so I'm looking forward to that.
海で遊ぶのは何年ぶり(?)だったので初めは不安でしたが、ガイドのマーク、ヤスさんのおかげで楽しい体験ができました。(ものすごく焼けましたが…)ありがとう!
カイルア到着後、説明を受けてからカヤックに乗るまでの間が1時間以上あって時間がもったいない気がしました。カイルアタウンに行くには時間が足りないし、11時半集合なのにピザ屋さんは11時OPENのためあきらめていまいちなロコモコを食べざるを得なかったり…(カヤックに乗った後は着替えてすぐ出発だったのでお昼を食べる時間はありません。)
でも内容、景色、スタッフは最高なので、次回はもっとゆっくりできるコースを選びたいと思います。
希望者にはマークさんが写真をメールで送ってくれるといっていたので楽しみに待っています。

I had been to Kailua before, but I chose this tour because I wanted to try sea kayaking.
First, there was someone who was late for the pickup time (they were a foreigner...), so we seemed to arrive a bit late and started in quite a rush. (There was no time even to go to the restroom...)
This tour seems to be affected by the wind on the day, but fortunately, it wasn't too windy, and it took about 25 minutes to reach the island 1 kilometer away. (According to the instructor, it was a great performance.) I don't have great athletic skills, so I was a bit anxious, but surprisingly, I was okay.
Paddling together was fun, and it ended so quickly that I wished we could have paddled a bit more. The weather was nice, and we could even see Molokai Island.
During the free time after lunch, I borrowed a bodyboard and headed to the beach. I heard from the instructor that Kailua is beautiful in the afternoon, and the sea was truly a stunning blue.
I highly recommend it.
カイルアは行ったことがあったのですが、シーカヤックに
挑戦してみたくて選んだツアーでした。
まず、ピックアップ時間に遅刻する方(外国の方でしたが…)がいたため、
ちょっと遅れて到着したようで、かなりせかされる感じで慌ただしくスタート。
(トイレ行く間もなく…)
このツアーは、その日の風によって左右されるようですが、
幸いそれほど強風でなく、1キロ先の島まで25分ほどでした。
(インストラクターさんいわく、上出来らしいです。)
私は運動神経は良い方ではないので、ちょっと不安だったんですが、意外と大丈夫でした。
二人でこぐのも楽しくて、もう少し漕ぎたかったなあ~と
いうくらい、あっという間に終わりました。
天気も良かったので、モロカイ島も見えたり。
ランチ後のフリータイムでは、ボディボードを借りて海辺へ。
カイルアは午後からが美しいと、インストラクターさんに
聞いたのですが、本当に真っ青な海がきれいでした。
おすすめです。

I signed up for the early morning plan. I was finally able to go to the sandbar that I had always wanted to visit with my husband and my 2-year-old daughter. The weather in Waikiki during pickup was sunny! I thought this was going to be the best tour, but as we headed towards Kaneohe, thick clouds quickly covered the sky. My mood dropped, but our energetic guide Yukiko cheered me up, reminding me that such days happen. We boarded the boat and set off on the cruise. We took photos with Chinaman's Hat and the Ko'olau Mountains in the background, and we were able to spot many sea turtles at the turtle spot. Just as Yukiko announced, "We're almost at the sandbar!" I suddenly noticed that the thick clouds had disappeared, and it was completely sunny with the sparkling sandbar in sight. I was so excited that I was jumping around more than my child (laughs).
Since it was close to low tide, the water was only about ankle-deep, which was perfect for my child to splash around and play. We were able to spend an unforgettable time as a family. The local staff were friendly and great, and even though it was a 2-hour cruise, it was very fulfilling. We returned to Waikiki in time for my daughter's nap, so I think this plan is highly recommended for families with small children! I wasn't able to take good photos when it was sunny, so I plan to join again next time I go to Hawaii for a little revenge (laughs)!
早朝プランに申し込みました。2歳の娘と主人と3人でずっと行きたかった念願のサンドバーに行くことができました。
ピックアップしていただいたワイキキは晴天!これは最高のツアーになるな、と思っていたのもつかの-間バスでカネオヘに向かう山に入る間にみるみる厚い雲に覆われていきました。すっかり気分は落ち込んだのですが、元気印のようなガイドのユキコさんから元気をもらってそんな日もあるかと気を取り直してボートに乗り込みいざクルーズへ。チャイナマンズハットやコオラウ山脈をバックに写真撮影をしてもらい、ウミガメスポットでたくさんのウミガメを発見できました。もうすぐサンドバーでーす!のユキコさんの案内でふと見ると厚い雲はどこへやら、すっかり晴天になりキラキラ輝くサンドバーがあるではありませんか。感激して子供以上にはしゃいでしまいました(笑)
干潮に近い時間だったので水深も足首くらいだったのでちょうど子供がぱしゃぱしゃ遊ぶことができ、家族で忘れられない時間を過ごすことができました。
ローカルのスタッフもフレンドリーでいい感じで、2時間のクルーズでしたがとっても充実していました。お昼にはワイキキに戻れるので娘のお昼寝にも間に合ったし小さい子供連れにもおすすめできるプランだと思います!
晴れているときの写真がうまく撮れなかったのでリベンジもかねて(笑)また次ハワイに行く時も絶対参加します!!
