Oahu
If you sit in the front, there are snorkeling sets and life jackets available, so many people come back to return wet items after use, and even if you put your belongings in the chair, seawater will splash and get them wet. Be sure to check the tide levels. When I was there, the shallow areas were about ankle-deep, and the sandy beach was not visible above ground. When we returned to the port, the afternoon group had arrived, but I think it had become normally deep by the time we left.
前方に座る場合は、シュノーケルセットやライフジャケットがあるので、使用後濡れたものを返却しにくる人多数で、椅子の中に荷物を入れていても、海水が飛んでくるので濡れます。潮の引き具合は必ず調査して下さい。私の時は浅い所がくるぶしくらい、砂浜は地上には現れていませんでした。港へ帰ると午後便の方々が来ていまさしたが、行く頃には普通に深くなっていたと思います。
It was cloudy, so the sea was a bit murky, but I really enjoyed the sandbar! It was totally fine even for snorkeling beginners! I want to participate again, and I hope it will be sunny next time! If the tide isn't too high, I would like to walk on the island. However, seeing the sea turtles and manta rays was a great memory.
曇ってたから海も少し濁ってましたが、サンドバー満喫!シュノーケリング初心者でも全然おっけー!!でした。次も参加したいなと思うので、次こそ晴れてるといいな!潮も満ちすぎてなかったら、島を歩きたいです。でもウミガメとマンタがみれたのは、いい思い出です。
This was my second time at the sandbar, and it felt like a heavenly beach with a white sandy path in the middle of the blue sea, with water depth up to my shins. I encountered sea turtles at the snorkeling spot, and above all, the hamburgers eaten on the boat after the activities in the sea were incredibly delicious! They are more memorable than any gourmet burger listed in guidebooks. I recommend checking the tide schedule before making a reservation.
2度目のサンドバーでしたが、青い海の真ん中に白い砂の道、水深はスネぐらいでまずまずの天国の海感でした。
シュノーケリングスポットでは海亀にも遭遇したし、なにより海でのアクティビティ後に船の上で食べるハンバーガーはなんて美味しいのでしょう! ガイドブックに載っているどのグルメバーガーより想い出に残ります。
潮の満ち引きを調べての申し込みをお勧めします。
Saw many turtles of all sizes. There were 101 people registered for this trip when I went and 2 boats. Even though there were 101 people, the view + experience overlapped everything.
Negative part: Bathroom was very unclean so I did not use the restroom at all during the trip.
Tip: Bring hand sanitizer since it is 50 people to a boat with 1 bathroom that is questionable..
Overall: A must see.
The water level was high, but the weather was nice, the sea was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my first snorkeling experience. After coming out of the sea, they had prepared warm drinks, which was a nice touch for my chilled body. Also, the hamburgers eaten on the water were exceptional, and I definitely want to join again when I go to Hawaii. I hope to see even more beautiful scenery next time! ^^
水面は高かったけど、天気もよく、海もきれいで、初シュノーケリングもとても楽しめました。
海からあがったら温かい飲み物を準備してくれていて、冷えた体にはうれしかったです。
また、海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別でハワイに行く際にはぜひまた参加したいです。
そのときはもっときれいな景色が見れるといいな^^
If you're going to Hawaii, you definitely want to see the emerald-colored sea! I joined four friends to experience this. As expected in Hawaii, not only did we see the emerald color, but we also enjoyed various shades of blue in the ocean, which was very satisfying. Although I couldn't swim with the sea turtles as I had hoped, I did get to meet some gracefully swimming sea turtles. We had time to snorkel and had fun swimming with various fish besides the sea turtles. The meal was delicious, especially the hamburgers that we made ourselves with our favorite ingredients, and there were also fruits available. If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would love to spend some relaxing time at the sandbar.
ハワイに行くなら、エメラルド色の海が見たい!そこで遊びたい!と4人の友だちと参加しました。さすがにハワイです。エメラルド色だけでなく、いろいろと違った色の”青い海”を見ることができ、大満足です。期待していた、ウミガメと一緒に泳ぐことはできませんでしたが、悠々と泳いできいるウミガメに会うことはできました。シュノーケルをして遊ぶ時間があり、ウミガメ以外の魚たちとは一緒に泳ぐことができ、楽しかったです。食事は、自分で好きな食材をはさんで作るハンバーガーは美味しかったし、フルーツもありました。また、ハワイに行く機会があれば、是非、サンドバーでゆっくり過ごしたいです。
I saw it in a guidebook and thought, "What is this? It's beautiful! Is there really a place like this?" I was so excited to join the tour! The guide was fluent in Japanese, funny, and I was completely satisfied!
Finally, we arrived at the sandbar! It was just too beautiful! I couldn't help but shout, "It's so pretty!"
If I go to Hawaii again, I will definitely visit again!
ガイドブックでみて、なにこれー、綺麗、ほんとにこんなとこがあるのー?見てみたい!!と思い、わくわくどきどきでツアーに参加♩
ガイドさんは日本語ペラペラだし面白いし大満足!
いざ、サンドバー!ほんと綺麗すぎる!絶対さけんでしまう、きれーって笑
ハワイ行ったら絶対また行く!
My wife and I loved the ATV tour at Kualoa Ranch. Our tour guide "Tina" was great and very knowledgeable and friendly. For us it was really getting to see the natural beauty of Hawaii. We chose the 2 hour ATV trip and it was well worth it. The views were incredible and something we will never forget.
I was able to swim with sea turtles by chance and see coral fish. The sea was also clear and very beautiful! The barbecue hamburgers were also very delicious! Thank you very much! (^ ^)
ウミガメと偶然にも泳げたり、珊瑚の魚をみたり
海も透明でとっても綺麗でした!バーベキューのハンバーガーもとても美味しいかったです!
ありがとうございました(^ ^)
At first, there was a lecture in the room under the guide's instruction. I was worried as a beginner, but the sea was beautiful, and I was satisfied to be able to go to the island across. On the way back, I managed to stand up. It was fun. The guide was great too.
最初、ガイドの指導で部屋でレクチャー。初心者で心配したが、海がきれいで、向かいの島まで行けて満足。帰りはなんとか立てるまでに。楽しかった。ガイドも良かった。
I was really looking forward to my first trip to Hawaii. Even for those who can't swim, it was enjoyable and incredibly beautiful. I believe this is a tour that everyone should participate in at least once. The staff were very accommodating, and it truly became a wonderful memory.
初めてのハワイで、1番楽しみにしておりました。
泳げない人でも楽しめ、とにかく綺麗でした。絶対に1度は参加するべきツアーだと思います。
スタッフの方の対応もよく、本当によい思い出になりました。
we spend really good time and experienced very lucky things. Thank you for your hospitality and great time!!!
The sandbar had water up to my waist due to the rising tide, but it felt great to float around with a borrowed life jacket. When I asked for photos, they took a variety of shots, and I was very satisfied. During snorkeling, I encountered many fish and even a sea turtle. The hamburger was delicious, and the guide was kind, so I’m glad I participated.
サンドバーは潮が上がっていて腰位まで水がありましたが、ライフジャケットを借りてプカプカ浮いているととても気持ちが良かったです。
写真をお願いすると色々な構図で撮ってもらえて大満足。
シュノーケリングでは沢山の魚とウミガメにも会えました。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったしガイドの方も親切だったので参加して良かったです。
Such a fun experience!!! Jenner was our guide when we got picked up by the bus and he was a great guide all throughout. Antonio our captain was also friendly and just the whole experience was amazing all very friendly and try their best to welcome and guide you.
I visited Sandbar for the first time this time, and it was beautiful. I've been to quite a few beautiful beaches in the Philippines, but Sandbar was fresh and beautiful in a different way. I would love to go again when I visit Hawaii. The staff were friendly and nice as well. During the final sea turtle watch snorkeling, a sea turtle was swimming right below us. I got so caught up in it with my child. It was truly moving.
今回初めてサンドバーに行きましたがきれいでした。きれいな海はフィリピンでかなり行ってましたが、サンドバーは別な意味で新鮮できれいなところでした。またハワイに行ったら行きたいですね。スタッフも気さくでよかったです。最後のウミガメウオッチのシュノーケリングではウミガメが真下を泳いでいました。子供と一緒に夢中になっておっかけてしまいました。本当に感動しました。
We were able to land on the sandbar and see turtles. Although we were the only family with children, we felt a bit anxious, but they made arrangements for us to sit on the boat and took care of our kids for a short time during snorkeling, allowing us to enjoy snorkeling as a couple. I'm glad we participated.
サンドバーにも上陸できたし、亀も見れました。
子供連れが私達家族だけで少し不安でしたが、船上でも座れるように配慮してくださったり、シュノーケルの間、わずかな時間ですが子供をあやして見守っていてくださり、夫婦でシュノーケルを楽しむことができました。
参加して良かったです。
The instructor was very energetic and made it a lot of fun! It was unfortunate that the temperature was low and it rained the whole time, but I was super excited to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling! I was also able to watch it swim, and the barbecue for lunch was delicious♡ I want to try again on a nice day!!
インストラクターの方がテンション高くて、たくさん楽しませてくれました!
気温が低くて、ずっと雨が降っていたのが残念だったけど、シュノーケルのときに海ガメを生で見る事が出来て大興奮!泳いでる様子もウォッチングできて、おひるのバーベキューも美味しかったです♡
天気の良い日にリベンジしたい!!
This is a tour where you can experience the much-talked-about sandbar. The itinerary includes hotel → port → turtle watching → sandbar → snorkeling → lunch.
Even though I can't swim at all, I was able to fully enjoy the benefits of the life jacket on this tour. After swimming for a while, we had a simple meal on the boat, and the sandwiches were surprisingly delicious.
While snorkeling with tropical fish, kicking your legs is strictly prohibited. Not only does it stir up sand and make visibility poor, but it also cruelly kicks up the people behind you. If you don't move using just your hands, you might end up like me, with bruises on your face and injuries from your nails. For those participating, please make sure not to kick your legs!
各所で噂のサンドバー体験ができるツアーです。
ホテル→港→ウミガメウォッチ→サンドバー→シュノーケル→ランチといった流れのツアーになります。
まったく泳げない私ではありましたが、ライフジャケットの恩恵を存分に味わえるツアーでした。
ひとしきり泳いだ後の、船上での簡単な食事、サンドウィッチが食べれますが、非常に美味しく感じられました。
熱帯魚と泳ぐシュノーケルですが、バタ足は厳禁です。
砂塵が舞い見えなくなるどころか、後ろの人を無情にも蹴り上げまくります。
手だけで進まないと、私のように顔に青タンや爪による負傷者が続出します。
参加される方は、是非ともバタ足だけはしないようにしましょう。
I decided to try this popular optional tour. A sea turtle was right in front of me, and I was able to swim with it, which was a very memorable experience. The hamburger for lunch was also juicy and delicious.
人気のオプションツアーだったので頼んでみました。ウミガメがすぐ目の前にいて一緒に泳ぐことができとても思い出に残りました。ランチのハンバーガーも肉がジューシィーで美味しかったです。
I enjoyed riding a buggy at Kualoa Ranch and fully experiencing the great outdoors! We stopped at key points for photo opportunities, and it was truly fun. Even beginners can safely enjoy this experience!
クアロア牧場にでバギーにのり大自然を満喫!!
要所要所でとまり、写真撮影もできて、本当に楽しかったです★初心者の方でも、安全に体験できますよ
This was a great beach day at Kailua Beach! We were picked up by mini van right at our hotel and taken to a small plaza containing the water sports store sponsoring the activity. The people in the store were pleasant and showed us the lockers and gave us our vouchers for the included lunch. Also included was the use of boogie boards and beach chairs. The beach is a short walk from the plaza so keep in mind that you will need to carry things with you. Towels not included so be sure to bring your own! The beach itself is gorgeous and clean with that beautiful blue iridescent water! We set up shop under a tree and were happy there all day. There are facilities at the beach. While the food places were open at 10:00 AM, we chose to wait until 12:30 to eat. We opted for the pizza and drink. The pizza was the closest to true NY style we had in Hawaii...we were very impressed! It says one slice however the slice is actually a quarter of a very large pie and they cut it in two for you so it is two good sized slices! At the end of the day we headed back to the store and turned in our beach things we had borrowed and browsed the gift shop. A great day!
Thank you for your feedback, Mrs. D! We are so happy that you took advantage of our different options and had a great beach day here in Kailua. Mahalo!
The weather was unfortunate, but the crew really lifted our spirits, and we had a great time despite the bad weather! I would love to participate again.
あいにくの天気でしたが、クルーのみなさんが盛り上げてくださり、天気が悪くてもかなり楽しめました!また参加したいです。
It was a unique experience to be standing in the sea with almost all sand visible. Snorkeling was also amazing; it felt great to be swimming alongside the fish.
ほぼ砂が見えている状態だったので、海の中で立っているという非日常的体験が良かった。
シュノーケルも、魚と一緒に泳いでいる気分が最高だった。
The sandbar was very beautiful! Even though I was in the middle of the ocean, standing on the sand felt strange. I was able to see several sea turtles. Regarding snorkeling, the water was a bit murky, but it was nice to see the fish swimming. The breakfast sandwich was delicious.
サンドバーがとても綺麗でした!海の真ん中にいるのに、砂の上に立っていて、不思議な気持ちになりました。ウミガメも何匹も見ることができました。シュノーケルに関して、少し海は濁っていましたが、魚が泳いでいるのを見ることができ良かったです。朝食のサンドイッチ美味しかったです。
The weather was a mix of sunny and cloudy... Our first trip to Hawaii! Leaving our eldest and second daughter in Japan, it was a trip for just the four of us: Dad, Mom, our eldest son, and our youngest daughter.
Being a sporty family, we first got hooked on beach volleyball, and while Dad took photos, there was a flurry of high-fives between us! The hamburgers for lunch were delicious—though we tried to recreate them at home and were disappointed that they didn't taste the same.
Seeing sea turtles up close had our high school senior son and middle school junior daughter in a frenzy! This two-shot at the beach was also refreshing!
Dad and Mom are determined to live long lives! We definitely want to go back again. Nature is amazing. The only downside was that the round-trip bus took way too long to arrive.
天気は晴れたり曇ったり・・・初めてのハワイ!長女・次女を日本に残し、パパ・ママ・長男・三女の4人旅。
スポーツ一家はビーチバレーにまずはまり、パパさんが写真を撮る中、親子でハイタッチの嵐!
お昼のハンバーガーも美味しかった~(家に帰ってチャレンジしたけど、同じ味にはならずガッカリ)
ウミガメを目の前にして高校3年長男と中学3年三女も大騒ぎ!海でのこのツーショットも新鮮!
パパとママも長生きするぞ!
また、絶対行きたいと思っています。自然って凄い。
ただ、往復のバスがあまりにも来なくて、それだけが難点でした。
I considered a 1.5 or 2-hour course but ultimately participated in the 1-hour course, and I had a great time walking through the grasslands with the mountains in the background, climbing and descending the mountain trails. I think there were mostly Japanese participants, and we walked in a line as a group of about 20 horses. Some horses started eating grass or strayed from the line, but each time, the staff would call out in Japanese, saying things like "Pull the reins!" Additionally, two staff members at the front and back would come to give instructions to the horses, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy the horseback riding. The staff were friendly and it was a very pleasant experience.
1.5か2時間コースも検討し結局1時間コースに参加しましたが、山道を登ったり下ったり山をバックに草原を歩いたりで十分楽しめました。ほぼ日本人だったと思いますが20頭くらいのグループで一列に並んで歩いて行くのですが、馬によっては草を食べ始めたり列を外れたりするのですが、そのたびに「綱を引いて~」等と日本語で声かけしてくれました。また前後の2人のスタッフが馬に指示を出しに来てくれたりで安心して乗馬を楽しめました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーでとても良かったです。
On this day, there were many clouds, and they were reflected on the water's surface, but I was still able to observe a lot of sea turtles. The sandbar is not completely dry land, but it feels very strange to think that there is a shallow area about ankle-deep offshore. The mountains of Kualoa Ranch visible from the sandbar were very beautiful and left me in awe.
この日は雲が多くて水面に雲が映っていましたが、それでもウミガメをたくさん観察できました。
サンドバーは完全な陸地ではありませんが、沖に足首くらいの浅瀬があると思うととても不思議な感じです。サンドバーから見えるクアロア牧場の山がとても綺麗で感激しました。
We boarded a large bus at the Sheraton Waikiki bus center and set off. As expected from a popular tour, the bus was nearly full. It was a comfortable ride towards Kaneohe. Since it was early in the morning, I thought I would try to sleep, but I found myself captivated by the beautiful scenery outside the window until we arrived. We then boarded a nearly motionless boat from the port and set off. On the way to the sandbar, we enjoyed some sea turtle watching. The turtles peeked their heads out from the beautiful emerald green sea, and each time, there were cheers of excitement.
Upon arriving at the sandbar, we took a stroll towards it with our cameras in hand. Everyone enjoyed taking photos, and after a while, we returned to the boat to drop off our cameras and put on our snorkeling gear to head back to the sandbar. We had a great time snorkeling there.
After encountering many fish, we returned to the boat, where delicious sandwiches and drinks were waiting for us. The boat smoothly made its way to Kaneohe Bay.
I truly had a wonderful time in the beautiful sea. Thank you very much.
シェラトンワイキキのバスセンターで大型バスにのり、出発。さすが人気ツアー、ほぼ満席でした。カネオヘにむかい快適なバスの時間。朝早かったので、寝ようっと思っていましたが、窓からみえる素敵な景色に見入っているうちに到着。港から揺れのほぼない船にのり出発。サンドバーに到着するまでに、海亀ウォッチング。キレイなエメラルドグリーンの海からぽこぽこといたるところから顔を覗かせる海亀たち。その度に歓声があがりました。
サンドバーに到着すると、カメラ片手にサンドバーに向けお散歩。おのおの撮影をたのしみ一旦カメラを船におきにかえり、シュノーケルを付けて、もう一度サンドバーに。そこからシュノーケリング楽しみました。
たくさんのお魚に出会い、満足して船に帰ると、美味しいサンドイッチと飲み物が用意されていました。船は揺れることなくカネオヘBAYへ。
ほんとに、綺麗な海で素敵な時間をすごさせていただきました。ありがとうございました。
The week I went to Hawaii, there was a Hawaiian storm, and the weather was very unstable. However, miraculously, the day at the heavenly beach was sunny, and I was able to enjoy the beautiful sea! The staff were all very interesting and kind, and I had a great time. Beach volleyball was fun, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious ♥ I was very satisfied with the optional tour where I also got to see sea turtles!
私がハワイへ行った週は、
ちょうどハワイアンストームがきていて、
とても天気が不安定でしたが、
天国の海の日は奇跡的に晴れて、
とてもキレイな海を味わうことができました!
スタッフの方もとてもおもしろく良い方ばかりで、
楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ビーチバレーも楽しかったし、船上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかった♥
ウミガメも見れて大満足のオプショナルツアーでした!
We went as a family of four, including two elementary school children.
The water level at the sandbar was just below waist height. Honestly, I was quite disappointed because I had imagined the sand would be more exposed. That said, the weather was nice, and the clear water and white sand were beautiful.
After returning home, I did some research and found that various conditions are needed for the sand to be exposed, so it seems to depend on luck and timing. I feel there should be a bit more communication that it’s not guaranteed the sand will be visible!
The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers made with patties grilled on the boat. It might be clearer to call it a BBQ hamburger. There was quite a line, so it took a long time, but that’s understandable. We were able to see 2-3 sea turtles during the sea turtle watch, and the kids were satisfied. It was unfortunate that it started to drizzle during snorkeling, and the water became dim. After getting out of the water, it was so cold that I recommend bringing a change of clothes.
Since the rain intensified, I wonder if we returned to the dock early... We were unsure which bus to take and whether any buses were even coming. There was no one to explain, so we had to ask all the drivers. In the end, we had to wait about 20 minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive. It was quite comical to see everyone wandering around in the light rain without umbrellas. I think everyone would feel more at ease if they could come to pick us up with a bit more time to spare. Therefore, I give it ★★★.
小学生の子供2人を含めた家族4人で行きました。
サンドバーの海面は腰よりちょっと下くらいでした。
砂が顔を出しているイメージだったのでかなりガッカリしたのが正直な感想です。
とはいえ、お天気も良かったので透き通る海面と白い砂は綺麗でした。
帰国してからいろいろ調べましたが砂が顔を出すのはいろいろな条件が必要な様で
まさに運とタイミングみたいですね。
必ず砂面が見えるとは限らない!ということをもう少しアナウンスがあっても良いと感じてます。
BBQランチは船上で焼いたハンバーグを使ったハンバーガーでした。
BBQハンバーガーと書いた方がわかりやすいのでは。
行列になっていたのでかなり時間がかかりましたがこれは仕方ないですね。
海ガメウオッチは2~3頭見ることが出来子供たちも満足していました。
シュノーケリングの頃から小雨が降り出し、海面も薄暗くなってしまったのは残念でした。
海から上がった後は震える程寒く、着替えを持参することをお勧めします。
雨も激しくなってきたので早めに岸壁に戻ったのでしょうか…。
どのバスに乗るのか…そもそもバスが来ているのか…
説明してくれる人も居らず、全てのドライバーさんに聞いて周りました。
結局は迎えのバスが来るまで20分ほど時間がありました。
誰も傘を持っていない中、戸外で小雨に濡れながら全員が右往左往している姿はまさに滑稽でした。
余裕をもってお迎えに来てもらえると皆安心出来ると思います。
よって、★三つです。
