Oahu
This tour has so many highlights. I was impressed when we landed on the sandbar (it was really beautiful!), and I was thrilled to spot a sea turtle popping its head up in a spot filled with them. Snorkeling at the coral reef was also amazing, and above all, the burgers grilled on the boat were the best!
見どころがいっぱいのツアーです。サンドバー（本当にきれい！）に上陸した時も感動したし、ウミガメのたくさんいるスポットで、顔を出したウミガメを発見できて感動。サンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも最高だったし、何より船の上で焼いてくれるハンバーガーが最高でした。

The view was breathtaking. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Highly recommended,
I chose the shorter option since I was with my 70-year-old mother, but we had a great time! We saw plenty of sea turtles, and the sandbar was truly beautiful!!! I highly recommend this tour.
70歳の母と一緒だったので短い時間のほうにしましたが、十分に楽しめました！
海亀も沢山見れてサンドバーは本当に綺麗！！！
オススメのツアーです。

It was worth checking the low tide times and making a reservation; it was very beautiful. There was a problem at the meeting place, so my rating is average, but other than that, I was very satisfied.
引き潮時間を確認して予約したかいがあり、とても綺麗でした。集合場所でトラブルがあり評価は普通ですが、それ以外は大満足です。

Since I had only played in the ocean in Hawaii, I was interested in horseback riding this time and tried it for the first time. I participated in a one-hour horseback riding session with a group of about 15 people, mostly Japanese, riding in a line. We watched a safety video, chose our horses one by one, received a brief explanation of how to operate them, and then set off.
Along the way, the horses sometimes stopped to graze or for bathroom breaks. The view of Kualoa Beach and the mountains from the horse was amazing! Since it was a sport, my butt started to hurt towards the end, and I found one hour to be just right.
Since check-in was at 11:15, I had breakfast in Kailua after picking up a rental car in the morning and headed to Kualoa. The roads were easy to navigate, and it felt great to drive along the beach.
I arrived early, but there were dining options and souvenir shops, and I was able to see the horses up close and take photos, so it was good to arrive early. There was also a stray cat that was very cute.
ハワイでは海でしか遊んだ事が無かったので、今回乗馬に興味があり、初めて挑戦しました。
1時間の乗馬に参加し、グループはほぼ日本人で15人くらい1列になって山馬に乗ってを歩いて行きました。安全のビデオを見て、1人ずつ馬を選んでもらい、簡単な操作の説明を受けて出発しました。
途中馬が道草を食ったり、トイレの為に止まる事もあります。馬から見えるクアロアビーチや山の様子は最高でした‼︎
スポーツですので最後の方でお尻が痛くなり、私は1時間で丁度良かったです。
11:15チェックインという事でしたので、朝からレンタカーでカイルアで朝ごはんを食べ、クアロアへ向かいました。道も分かりやすく、ビーチ沿いに走っていくのでとても気持ち良かったです。
早めに着きましたが、食堂やお土産やさんがあり、そして馬を間近で見て写真撮影などが出来るので早めに着いて良かったです。
野良猫？がおりとても可愛らしかったです。

the sandbar was beautiful as well as the views of the mountains from the water. Our boys loved snorkeling and seeing the sea turtles.
This was my second trip to Hawaii. I wanted to visit the sandbar that I couldn't go to last time, so I made a reservation. The sandbar appeared when the tide went out, and I was able to lie down and relax for a while. Since it was the day before Independence Day, we couldn't drink beer on the beach, but it felt great to enjoy a beer from the back of the boat. We also had a full hour of snorkeling, and it was a great experience to encounter a turtle. Although there was some fatigue from the travel and a bit of waiting time, I think it's an activity I would recommend.
ハワイには二度目の旅行。前回立ち寄れなかったサンドバーに行ってみたいと思い、申し込み。サンドバーは波の引いた時に砂地が顔を出す感じでしたが、寝そべったり、のんびりと時間を過ごせました。独立記念日の前日で祝日対応となり、海でビールを飲めませんでしたが、船尾の突きだしたところからビールが飲めて、それは気持ち良かったです。シュノーケリングも1時間たっぷりあり、カメにも出会えて良い体験になりました。移動や若干の待ち時間などで疲れは出ますが、オススメのアクティビティだと思います。

Departure from the back of the Hyatt Regency. I was first surprised by the large number of people, as the bus was almost full.
Before boarding, there was a restroom break, and we were instructed that we could use either the onboard or the outside facilities. However, it's wise to board early to secure a seat, and there are several opportunities to gather at the front, so sitting towards the front is best.
The sea turtle watching was from the boat, and personally, I got bored quickly, but there were quite a few sea turtles.
The sandbar, depending on the time of year, didn't have sand exposed above the water's surface, but it was a fascinating space. It was difficult to take good photos.
After enjoying the sandbar, we went snorkeling near the nearby reef. With a large group and no fins, it was hard to move around, and since the time was short, I thought it might be nice to skip snorkeling and relax on the sandbar instead (families with children seemed to do that).
Also, from the boat, we could see filming locations like Jurassic Park, which felt like a little bonus.
ハイアットリージェンリーの裏からの出発。大型バスがほぼ満員という人の多さにまずは驚きました。
乗船前にトイレ休憩があり、船内・船外のどちらでも使って良いと指示されますが、早めに乗船して座席を確保するのが吉で、かつ何度か前方に集合する機会があるので、前方がベストです。
ウミガメウォッチングは船上からで個人的にはすぐに飽きてしまいましたが、結構な数のウミガメがいました。
サンドバーは時間帯的に（時季的に？）砂が水面上に出てはいなかったですが、不思議な空間でした。写真を上手く撮るのが難しかったですね。。
シュノーケリングはサンドバーを楽しんだ後に、近くのリーフ横を回ります。大人数ですし、フィンもなかったので動きづらく、さらに時間も短いので、シュノーケリングはパスしてサンドバーの上でゆっくり過ごすのもアリかなと思いました（子供連れの方はそうされていました）。
また、船上から、ジュラシックパーク等の撮影場所もみることができ、少し得した気分です。

I participated in 2009 and found it very interesting, so this time I joined with my mother. Our guide, Ken, was very kind, taking photos for us along the way and providing various explanations, which made it a lot of fun.
Since there were only a few people, we were able to swim and take our time taking photos at Flat Island, which was the best.
On the way back, instead of taking the shuttle bus, we rented bicycles and went snorkeling at Kailua Beach. The ocean was so beautiful, it felt like being in paradise.
The staff were truly kind and attentive. I will participate again.
2009年に参加してとても面白かったので、今度は母と参加しました。
ガイドの健さんがとても親切で、途中で写真を撮ってくれたり、色々説明してくれたり、とても楽しめました。
人数も少なかったので、フラットアイランドで泳いだりゆっくり写真を撮ったりできて最高でした。
帰りは送迎のバスに乗らずに自転車を借りてカイルアビーチでシュノーケリング。
海がとてもキレイで天国にいるみたいでした。
スタッフの方達が本当に親切で至れり尽せりでした。
また参加します。

It was a good decision to check the tide levels and make a reservation before departure. I thought there would be more sand, but I was able to enjoy it up to my ankles. However, since it's a sandbar program, it would have been nice if they could have swapped it out for turtle watching.
出発前に潮位を確認して予約したので正解でした
もっと砂が出ているかとも思ったけど踝ぐらいでたのしめました
てもサンドバーのプログラムなんだからタートルウォッチと入れ換えてもらってもよかったなー

Loved it! Great time in a beautiful area of Hawaii! Well trained and friendly staff to help along the way.
Great fun. Boat was great. Staff was great. The excursions were superb. So much fun. Will do it again definitely.
The sandbar is quite far out, yet the water is shallow, creating a mysterious space. The hamburger was delicious. Unfortunately, the snorkeling was disappointing because the water was murky and visibility was not great.
サンドバーはだいぶ沖なのに水深が浅くなっており、不思議な空間でした。ハンバーガーは美味しかったです。シュノーケリングは、水が濁っていてあまり良く見えなかったのが残念でした。

THIS WAS A 3 HR BEACH ADVENTURE WE WENT ON THE GLASS BOTTOM BOAT RIDE AND SAW THE LARGE TURTLE THE GRANDCHILDREN LOVED THE OTHER ACTIVIES ON THE BEACH
MY GRANDCHILDREN WENT HORSEBAACK RIDING AND LOVED IT
We participated as a family with our 0-year-old and 2-year-old children. After departing, we first went turtle watching before heading to the sandbar. The sandbar was perfect, and we were really excited! The water was shallow with almost no waves, so the kids were able to enjoy themselves safely. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy, which was a bit disappointing.
We were able to fully enjoy the turtles and the sandbar in a short time and returned to the hotel before noon, making it a satisfying tour. The weather is a matter of luck, but I think it would be truly beautiful if it were sunny.
If we can come back to Hawaii, I would like to try again.
For those planning to participate, a waterproof camera is a must. A selfie stick also seemed convenient. Additionally, while you won't need to spend money, tips are separate, so please don't forget to bring some.
0歳、2歳の子供と家族で参加しました。
出港してからまずウミガメウォッチングをしてからサンドバーへ向かいました。
サンドバーもバッチリ出ていて、テンション上がりました！波がほとんどなく浅いので、子供も安心して楽しんでいました。ただ、天気があいにくの曇り空で残念でした。。
短時間でウミガメとサンドバーを満喫して昼前にはホテルに戻れるので、時間も有効に使えて満足のツアーでした。天気は運ですが、晴れてたら本当に綺麗なんだろうなーと思います。
またハワイに来れたらリベンジしたいです。
参加予定の方は防水カメラは必須です。自撮り棒も便利そうでした。あと、お金を使うことはないけど、チップは別なので、持って行くのを忘れないようにしてください。

The weather was unfortunately rainy and then cloudy, but I’m really glad I participated in this tour! Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was surprising because the volleyball was really hard (laughs), but it was so much fun with the crew and all the participants! We had the afternoon plan, and while moving to the snorkeling spot, we were all excited to spot a sea turtle from the boat! During snorkeling, we were lucky enough to see sea turtles twice, which was incredibly moving! After lunch, we had about an hour to snorkel freely around the coral reef, where everyone could swim around the vast coral formations or take a break on the boat. Some participants didn’t get to see a sea turtle, so I think it’s all about luck! This was a tour I would definitely recommend to others, and I was very satisfied!
I highly recommend applying sunscreen, as the difference between the areas where I applied it and where I didn’t is too extreme!
お天気は生憎の雨のち曇り的な感じでしたが、それでも参加してほんと良かったなぁ〜（≧∇≦）と思えるツアーでした！サンドバーでのビーチバレーはバレーボールがとっても固くてびっくりしましたが（笑）、クルーのお兄さんたちや参加者みんなでワイワイとってもとっても楽しかったです♪私たちは午後プランだったのですが、シュノーケリングの場所へ移動中船上から海ガメをみんなでキャーキャーいいながら発見できて感激☆シュノーケリング中もなんと2回も海ガメを見ることができて超感動でした♡ランチ後、サンゴ礁の周りを１時間ほど自由にシュノーケリングできるのですが、広範囲のサンゴ礁の群れの周りをみんな自由に泳いだり船上で休憩したりできる感じで、海ガメを見れかったという参加者の方もおられたのでこれはもう運だと思います！ぜひ人にも進めたい大満足のツアーでした(*^^*)
日焼け止め塗った場所と塗らなかった場所の差が激しすぎて、日焼け止めを塗ることをお勧めします！

Sandbar is highly recommended.
It's truly a paradise at sea!
The guide was very fun, and the hamburgers for lunch were grilled right there by the captain, making them incredibly delicious!!
However, I think the color of the sea is greatly influenced by the weather, so keep that in mind.
サンドバーはほんとにおすすめです。
まさに天国の海！
ガイドの方もとっても楽しく、お昼ごはんのハンバーガーもその場でキャプテンが焼いてくれてすごくおいしい！！
ただ、海の色は天気にかなり左右されると思うので、そこを覚悟の上で。

I joined because a friend wanted to go to Sandbar. Since we could return to Waikiki by lunchtime, it seemed like a good use of time, so we chose this course. The Japanese female guide was very cheerful, cool, and kind. The drinks provided included both cold and warm options, which was great for me since I tend to get cold easily.
We were able to see sea turtles, and snorkeling was really fun! However, we encountered a sudden downpour, and the waves became rough, so we had to retreat to the boat early. That was disappointing.
After getting out of the water, we were first offered warm drinks and had sandwiches. They were simple, but I enjoyed them. The saltiness might have been good for fatigue.
Although I had taken a seat on the boat, my jacket got wet from the downpour, so the ride back felt like being in a freezer... It's common in various places in Hawaii, but the air conditioning is really strong! I was concerned about the cold on the bus, so I brought a jacket, but I had to return in a wet swimsuit, and my jacket got wet too, so I thought I would freeze on the way back...
I recommend being well-prepared for cold weather!
サンドバーに行きたい！という友人の希望で参加。
お昼にはワイキキに戻って来れるので、時間も有効に使えそうということで、このコースにしました。
ガイドの日本人女性がとっても明るくてカッコよくて親切でした。提供されるドリンクも、冷たいものと温かいものがあり、冷え性の私には嬉しかったです。
ウミガメも観れたし、シュノーケリングもすごく楽しかった！のですが、途中でスコールに遭ってしまい、波が荒れてきて早々にボートに退散。残念でした。
海から上がると、まず温かいドリンクが提供され、サンドイッチをいただきました。シンプルなものでしたが、美味しくいただきました。塩気が疲れに良かったのかも。
ボートの中に席を取っていたものの、スコールで上着が濡れてしまったため、そこから帰りの道中がまるで冷凍庫の中にいるようでした...
ハワイのあちこちで共通することなのですが、とにかく空調がキツイ！なので、バスの中での寒さを懸念して、ある程度の上着は持っていきましたが、濡れた水着のままで帰らねばならず、スコールで上着も濡れてしまっていたので、帰りは凍えるかと思いました。。。
防寒？対策をしっかりしていくことをお勧めします！

I participated in the tour on June 27. Despite having limited time during my stay, I was able to efficiently enjoy sea turtle watching, sandbar visits, and snorkeling in the morning. It was cool in the morning, and the bus had air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a light jacket. I highly recommend this experience.
6月27日のツアーに参加しました。滞在中の時間が限られたなか午前中でウミガメウォッチ、サンドバー、シュノーケリングを効率的に楽しむことができました。
朝は涼しく、移動のバスはエアコンが効いているので上衣があると良いと思います。体験お薦めです。

We participated as a family of four. It was a very precious experience to see sea turtles up close both from the boat and while snorkeling. The beautiful ocean, like something out of a magazine, is an unforgettable memory. The crew's service was average, but they left a reliable impression. Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour, and my 3-year-old daughter was thrilled. Thank you very much.
家族４人で参加。船上からも、シュノーケリング中にも、ウミガメを間近で見れたのがとても貴重な体験でした。雑誌に出てくるような綺麗な海は忘れられない思い出です。クルーの対応は普通でしたが、不可なく、頼もしい印象でした。全体的には非常に楽しく、３歳の娘も大喜びのツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

My Girlfriend and I went to Hawaii for our vacation and we really wanted to go zip lining. This was definitely one of the highlights to our vacation. It started out with a bus ride to the location of where we were going to zip line. The bus ride there was really great, we drove past some film locations from tv shows and movies. The actually zip lining was even better. The instructors were great and it was very. Watch out for the bug bites though.
The description of "heavenly sea" is not an exaggeration! It was truly a mysterious sea. We played beach volleyball and enjoyed freshly grilled burgers on the boat. I was impressed that all the women were both steering the boat and giving instructions. I was also very satisfied to see sea turtles! I want to go again!
天国の海という形容は言い過ぎではありません！ほんとうに不思議な海でした。ビーチバレーをしたり、船でやきたてのバーガーを食べたり。みんな女の人たちが船の操縦もインストラクトも行っていてすごいなあと思いました。ウミガメもばっちり見られて満足でした！また行きたい！

When selecting a tour, please first check the tide levels. You can find the tide chart for Honolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) at this site: http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html. Choose a time when the tide is low (either morning or afternoon). On the day of participation, the tide was 0.5ft according to this site, and the actual sea level was about 30cm.
Initially, I wanted to join a tour from a different company, but it was already fully booked. However, in the end, it turned out to be the right choice for me.
Comparing the two tours, the one I participated in had a slightly later meeting time, allowing for a more relaxed morning (perhaps less time spent picking up from hotels?), and it included about an hour of snorkeling, which was set for approximately 30 minutes longer. Overall, the time allocation was quite leisurely. If you have time and are interested in snorkeling, I recommend this one.
The sandbar was indeed impressive, but perhaps due to having seen many beautiful photos in advance and the overcast weather with strong winds, it was a feeling I had anticipated. On the other hand, the snorkeling experience exceeded my expectations. I was initially hesitant and observed from the boat, but seeing how much fun the other participants were having, I decided to take the plunge and enter the water.
I had participated in hotel-sponsored snorkeling in Okinawa a couple of times, but compared to that, the scale was different. The corals and tropical fish were dynamic! Since we wore life jackets, I didn't feel much fear. I encourage those who are not confident in swimming to give it a try. A wonderful world awaits. Initially, I thought the snorkeling time would feel long, but it passed in no time. So, this tour was indeed the right choice for me.
The voucher included a note about necessary items to bring, such as a camera, towel, and a sense of adventure. It was a perfectly accurate comment. Thank you, VELTRA.
Finally, at the end of the tour, remember to tip before disembarking. It's an American-style system, so don't forget to provide an appropriate tip.
ツアーを選択する時は先ず、潮位を確認してください。このサイトですHonolulu, Oahu (Hawaii) Tide Chart http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/locations/2602.html）。
潮位が低い時間帯（午前or午後）を選んでください。参加当日のこのサイトによる潮位は0.5ftで、実際の海面は30cm程度でした。
当初は、異なる会社の方のツアーを希望しましたが既に予約終了。然しながら、結果的には当方の場合、正解でした。
２つのツアーを比較すると、参加したツアーは集合時間が少し遅く朝がゆっくり（ホテルを廻る時間が短い？）、シュノーケリングの時間が約１時間あり、３０分程度長めに設定されています。総じて、ゆったりとした時間配分です。時間があり、シュノーケリングに興味がある方にはこちらがお薦め。
サンドバーは、事前に沢山の綺麗な写真を見ていたせいか、天気が曇りがちで風が強かったせいか、確かに感動的でしたが、想定内の感動でした。
一方、シュノーケリングは想像以上の感動でした。泳ぎに自信がなく、当初は、ボートで見学していましたが、参加者が余りに楽しそうなので思い切って海に入ってみました。
沖縄で２回ほどホテル主催のシュノーケリングに参加しましたが、それと比べるとスケール感が違いました。珊瑚も熱帯魚もダイナミック！！
ライフジャケット着用なので、怖さはあまり感じません。泳ぎに自信がない方も是非チャレンジしてください。素晴らしい世界が広がっています。当初、シュノーケリングの時間が長いと思っていましたが、あっという間に。ということで、こちらのツアーの方が当方には正解でした。
バウチャーの案内文に、参加時に必要な持参品として、カメラ、タオル、冒険心・・とありました。正に、的を射たコメントでした。VELTRAさんに感謝です。
最後に、ツアーの最後にチップを入れて下船します。アメリカ式システムなので相応のチップを忘れずに。

It was my first time riding a buggy, and I was really nervous. The instructor must have noticed that I seemed a bit unsure, as they placed me right behind them! There was an accelerator on the right handle that I had to adjust with my thumb, but I couldn't do it at first... I was quite scared (laughs).
However, once I got used to it, it felt amazing! I wanted to go faster, but I couldn't go over 20 kilometers. Still, it's a tour that I think everyone should experience at least once!
バギーに乗ることが初めてでドキドキでした。
私がダメそうなのを見抜いたのか、インストラクターの人は、私を真後ろにつけました！
右ハンドルにアクセルがあり、親指で微調整するのですが、初めは出来ず…ビビっていました(笑)
けど、慣れてきたら気持ちよくてたまりませんでした！もっと飛ばしたい気持ちにもなりましたが、20キロ以上は上がりません…
でも、１度は体験して欲しいツアーです！

The sandbar had water levels up to my waist, but I had fun participating in beach volleyball, even though I wasn't very good at it. It was an amazing experience to encounter a sea turtle while snorkeling.

I participated in a tour with a barbecue lunch on June 22. Thanks to checking the tide schedule, the water level was about 20 cm, which was beautiful. The tour included activities like walking on the sandbar, a sea turtle watching cruise, and snorkeling at the coral reef, all of which were fulfilling, and the barbecue burger for lunch was delicious! It was unfortunate that we were caught in the rain for a bit, but the staff worked hard to keep the tour lively, which left a good impression. I'm glad I participated in this tour!
