Kaneohe Bay Kayak & Snorkel Self-Guided Tour [Tour Not Available]

A must do!

Reviewed by: Jonny

This was a really awesome, unique experience. I would recommend kayaking with someone rather than alone especially if you're completely out of shape like I am as I was super sore after but let me tell you that it was COMPLETELY worth it. I did see one turtle and I wasn't even really looking! It took me like 45 minutes to get to the sandbar because I stopped a few times to take it all in. I had trouble getting back on my own because it started to get windy so I called the tour people and they came and picked me up without hesitation and were incredibly sweet about it. I'd come back with another person for sure or when I'm more in shape haha!

Parasailing in Waikiki with Hawaiian Parasail - Diamond Head Views with Triple & Tandem Flights

Amazing

Reviewed by: Paul and Robin

What an amazing adventure. It was both of our first time but the crew was absolutely amazing. Completely explained all the safety instructions and what to do to provide the most breathtaking experience. Get the pictures they are amazing and allows you to concentrate on the experience and not worry about fumbling with a camera. Will definitely take another trip the next time out. Tipping not required but afterwards you want to show your gratitude for the experience they provide. Thank you for everything

サンドバー シュノーケリングクルーズ　バナナボートなど選べるプラン　海に浮かぶラウンジ&船上ライブミュージック　アルコール購入可 ＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

First Sandbar: Heaven's Sea はじめてのサンドバー【天国の海】

Reviewed by: ヨーク

This was my first time participating, and I signed up with transportation included. I was informed of the meeting place in advance, but I mistakenly went to the neighboring ABC Store. It would be good to confirm with someone at the hotel front desk who understands Japanese beforehand. The microbus driver was very pleasant (though he didn't speak Japanese).

At the Sandbar reception, I simply stated my name and the number of people, and I was able to pass through smoothly. On the boat, seats were arranged by nationality, which eased my anxiety. There were a total of 8 Japanese participants (4 from my group). The captain spoke a little Japanese and explained the location of the restrooms and the rules of the boat. By chance, when I opened Pokémon GO, he became my friend, which was amusing.

While heading out to sea, we enjoyed Hawaiian music along with donuts and drinks. The singing was lovely, and the donuts were large! (They had three types of coatings: chocolate, sugar, and icing.) Before arriving at the Sandbar, there was an explanation of life jackets in English, and they must be removed for certain activities. Those participating in SUP, snorkeling, kayaking, and banana boat rides will need them. There was a Japanese explanation on how to wear the snorkel. We received bread for the fish, which attracted many of them.

I did SUP and kayaking, but there were limited numbers, so we had to wait a bit until someone finished. Many of the other participants were nice and asked, "Change?"

The highlight of the trip was encountering a honu (sea turtle). Although I couldn't see it underwater while on the SUP, it surfaced to say hello.

After about two hours of fun, we enjoyed hot drinks and warmed up with beach towels we brought from the hotel, and had more donuts. On the return boat ride, we listened to nice Hawaiian music, and it ended in no time.

When we got off the boat, the captain took a photo with us! I was very satisfied with both the service and the experience, so I ended up giving a little extra tip.

Things I was glad I brought:
- Inflatable float (with pump)
- Underwater camera and smartphone case
- Beach towel
- Rash guard

Notes:
- It's easy to injure your feet on the coral.
- If you're not used to snorkeling, breathing can be a bit difficult.
- Sunburn.
- When the tide comes in, the water can reach chest height (morning plan is recommended).

今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。（日本語は通じません。）
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人（内4人が私のグループ）
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです！（チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング）
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change？」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。

そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。

2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。

船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました！
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。


持っていってよかったもの
浮き輪（ポンプ付き）
海中で取れるカメラとスマホケース
バスタオル
ラッシュガード

注意事項
サンゴで足を怪我しやすい
シュノーケルに慣れていないと呼吸が少し難しい
日焼け
潮が満ちてくると胸の位置まで海水（午前プランおすすめ）

I had a great time! It was supposed to be a one-hour experience, but I used up enough energy to feel satisfied in about 40 minutes! The instructor was very lively, and I was able to learn quickly.

I attended with my wife.
We moved out to sea on a small boat with a total of 16 people, divided into 8 groups of 2, and took turns flying.
It swayed quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.
I also recommend bringing a GoPro, as you can capture footage while parasailing!

I had an incredibly fun time. My husband and I are saying that if we can go to Hawaii again, we would love to do it once more. We go out quite a bit offshore, so you can enjoy the feeling of cruising. However, it does get pretty bumpy until then, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.

The guidance is basically in English, but it's manageable. As others have mentioned, there is a photo sale, but you won't be treated unpleasantly if you politely say no.

めちゃめちゃ楽しかったです。
主人ともまたハワイへ行けたなら、もう一回やりたいねと言っています。
そこそこの沖合にまででますので、クルージング気分も味わえます。
が、そこまでは結構揺れますので、不安な方は酔い止めを服用しておくことをお勧めします。

基本的に英語での案内ですが、なんとかなります。
他の方が書いてらっしゃる通り、写真の販売はありますが、遠慮せずにNOと言っても特に不快な対応をされることはありません。

The tour was fun, but the explanations were difficult to understand. ツアーは楽しかったけれど、説明がわかりにくい

Reviewed by: まんちゃ

The view of Honolulu from Diamond Head and the hotel we stayed at was absolutely wonderful. They say you can enjoy similar scenery in Okinawa, but I highly recommend experiencing it in Hawaii.

The meeting place was easy to find, and we didn't get lost on our way there. Since the instructions mentioned to arrive 30 minutes early, we went ahead and got there early, but ended up waiting about 40 minutes as the previous group was still preparing to board. (Someone from the same group arrived even earlier than us.)

The tour company's service was good, but I thought the information on Veltra was a bit unhelpful. They mentioned that photos would cost $40, so when they asked if we wanted to take them, I declined and didn't take any. The tour company only communicates in English and does not provide support in Japanese.

ダイヤモンドヘッドや宿泊してるホテルなど、ホノルルを一望できてとても素敵でした。
沖縄でもできる、といいますが、ハワイの景観を楽しめるので、おすすめです。

集合場所はわかりやすいです。あまり迷子にならず到着できました。
集合時間が30分前に来るよう記載があったので、早めに行ったら、前のグループの乗船準備中で40分ほど待ちました。（同じグループの別の方は私達より更に早く来ていました。）

催行会社の対応は良かったけれど、veltraの記載が不親切かなと思いました。
写真は40ドルと話していたので、撮る？と聞かれたときにいらないとお伝えし、いただきませんでした。
催行会社は英語のみで、日本語対応はありません。

Reviewed by: グレープフルーツ

On the second day of our arrival, we had an experience. My husband, our 9-year-old daughter, and I were able to participate together for the first time. Until now, we had only been able to ride one or two people at a time, so it was great to ride as a family of three.

The boat was larger than I expected, and we went out to the open sea for the experience. We were with two other groups. The height was also 150 meters, and we were able to see the most amazing views.

One unexpected thing was that while anchored, the boat swayed a bit, and during sailing, it felt more like we were connected rather than being pulled by the boat, so we felt the swaying from the waves and wind, which made me a bit seasick.

However, we had a wonderful experience with stunning views.

到着２日目に体験しました。
夫婦と９歳の娘の三人で一度に体験できました。今までは一人か二人乗りだったので、三人で初めて乗れてよかったです。
思ったよりも大きな船で、沖まで行き体験しました。
ほか二グループと一緒でした。
高さも１５０メートルと高く、最高の景色が見れました。
誤算だったのは、停泊中は船が少し揺れ、ｾｲﾙ中も船に引っ張られるというよりは、繋がっている状態だったので波、風の揺れを感じ、
船酔いしてしまったことです。
でも、素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。

With so much to do on the island, it can be overwhelming to choose the right excursions, especially if you’re only there a few days. This was hands-down the most fun thing we did the ENTIRE trip! The crew and captain were so accommodating and cool. It’s definitely worth the extra cost to do the banana boat or tube ride ;-)
