サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

It's a good idea to check the tide levels and make a reservation. 潮位を確認して予約するのが良いですよ

Reviewed by: kunpu2010

I made a reservation for a date without checking the tide levels, but it turned out to be just when the tide was coming in, and the water level at the sandbar was around my waist. Last time it was about ankle-deep, so I felt a bit disappointed and reduced my rating by one star.

You can check the tide levels at <https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart>. However, compared to the last time when the weather was mixed with rain, this time there were more sunny intervals, so I felt like I got a bit of a revenge on that front.

The tour I participated in last time had a lot of marine activities, but this time I was mainly looking forward to the BBQ hamburgers. The patties grilled on the BBQ set on the boat were delicious. As for activities, I enjoyed beach volleyball and snorkeling. I was able to choose not to wear a life jacket for snorkeling, which allowed me to enjoy skin diving (the last tour required a life jacket). I also encountered a lot of sea turtles.

A local staff member asked if my wife was a local, but at first, I didn’t understand what was being said, which was a bit amusing.

潮位を確認せずに行ける日程で予約しましたが、結果はちょうど潮が満ちてくる時間帯で、サンドバーでの水位は腰のあたりでした。前回は踝くらいだったので、残念な感じで星一つ減。
潮位は、<https://www.usharbors.com/harbor/hawaii/mokuoloe-hi/tides/#monthly-tide-chart> とかで調べられます。
しかし、前回の天気は雨混じりだったのに比べると今回は晴れ間が多かったので、そこはリベンジできたかな。
前回参加したツアーはマリンアクティビティが豊富でしたが、今回のツアーはBBQハンバーガー目当て。船上のBBQセットで焼かれたパテが美味いこと。
アクティビティとしては、ビーチバレーとシュノーケリングを楽しみました。シュノーケリングはライフジャケットを付けないのも選択できたので、私としてはスキンダイビングも出来て楽しめました(前回のツアーはライフジャケット必須だった)。ホヌにも沢山遭遇することが出来ましたし。
ロコのスタッフから、私の妻はロコなのかと訊かれたのですが、最初何を言われているのか解らなかったのは御愛嬌。

サンドバー天使の海 シュノーケリング&ウミガメウォッチクルーズ 船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き!<午前/日本語クルー>

Sandbar, honu, snorkeling, and a barbecue hamburger burger—so much fun! サンドバー、ホヌ、シュノーケリングと炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーと楽しさてんこ盛り

Reviewed by: KO

I participated with my 8-year-old and 6-year-old children. The guide was Japanese, and the entire trip was conducted in Japanese.

The activities included visiting the sandbar, observing sea turtles, and snorkeling, and we were very satisfied with the lunch, which was a charcoal-grilled hamburger.

By the way, alcohol is available for purchase, but soft drinks are free.

I was worried about whether my kids could snorkel since they are small, but they provided equipment for children, and there were no issues at all. The kids had an absolute blast.

One area for improvement would be to create a changing room. I wondered about the lack of a place to change on the way back. A few poorly mannered Japanese individuals were changing in the long line for the restroom stalls.

We had to ride the bus in wet swimsuits, and the air conditioning was too strong, making it cold. Since there’s no place to change, I think it’s a good idea to bring extra bath towels to cover up on the way back.

Other than that, it was fantastic.

8歳と6歳の子供と一緒に参加しました。
ガイドさんは日本人で、道中はオール日本語です。

サンドバー、ホヌ見学、シュノーケリングに加え、お昼ご飯は炭焼きハンバーグのバーガーで大満足のアクティビティでした。

ちなみにアルコールは有料ですが、ソフトドリンクは無料で頂けます。

子供達が小さいのでシュノーケリングが出来るか心配でしたが、子供用の装備も用意されており、全く問題ありませんでした。
子供達はめちゃくちゃ楽しんでいました。

一点改善して欲しいところは、更衣室を作って欲しいです。
帰りに着替えれないところはどうなのと思いました。
マナーの悪い日本人が数名、長蛇列のトイレ個室で着替えてました。

濡れた水着でバスに乗るのですが、エアコンが効き過ぎてて寒くなりました。
着替えれないので、帰りに体を覆えるようにバスタオルは多めに持参が良いと思います。

それ以外は最高でした。

Relaxing at Kailua Beach. カイルアビーチでのんびり

Reviewed by: りょっち

I had seen beautiful scenery of Kailua and Lanikai Beach on various websites and had been determined to visit them on my next trip to Hawaii.

Being able to move around freely at our own pace allowed us to relax in our favorite spots. One of our goals was to hike to the Lanikai Pillbox, but my wife found it too difficult, so we decided to give up halfway. However, we were able to enjoy a leisurely time at Kailua Beach, where they lent us beach chairs and dry bags for free. The pizza we had for lunch at Bob's Pizzeria was also very delicious, and we were completely satisfied.

Next time, I will make sure my wife is fully equipped and we will tackle the Pillbox!

いろんなサイトでカイルア&ラニカイビーチの綺麗な風景を見て次のハワイ旅行では必ず行きたいと思っていました。

自分たちのペースで自由に動き回れるので、お気に入りの場所でまったりと過ごすことができました。
目的の一つだったラニカイのピルボックスは妻が無理ということで、途中で断念しましたが、ビーチチェアやドライバッグも無料で貸してくれてカイルアビーチでのんびりと過ごせました。
ランチで食べたボブ’s ピッツァリアのピザもとても美味しくて大満足でした。

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Crew was great, boat is small, but overall fun experience!

Reviewed by: vetenigma@yahoo.com

We did 2 turtle snorkel's while in Hawaii, this one was not really the crews fault that it was not my favorite as the seas were pretty rough that day.
This would be a much better experience if there wasn't as many people on board.
Surprisingly, there were a lot of tourists with little to no experience with swimming or the ocean. Please if you are not experienced with swimming stay on the boat.
We were able to see a couple of tours and because of the non-experienced children on board, the fish were well "fed".
Bumpy ride and fun wave time on the trampoline! My sister and I loved that part of it!
Overall, pretty good experience, never enough time in the water!
Be prepared, especially on a smaller boat.

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

In front of me are the honu (sea turtles) and fish! 目の前にホヌさん(ウミガメ)と魚たちが!

Reviewed by: こうき

The meeting place was within a hotel in Waikiki, which was very accessible. I joined thinking it would be nice to meet them, but I was incredibly moved to see multiple honu (sea turtles) right in front of me! After snorkeling, during the cruising, I was a bit worried because my family got seasick, but it felt really nice to sail while enjoying the view of the hotels in Waikiki and Diamond Head with the wind in our faces. Also, the captain, crew, and instructor were really cool.

集合場所がワイキキのホテルの中でアクセスがよかったです。
本当に会えたらいいなーぐらいに思って参加したのですが、何匹も、しかも目の前でホヌさん(ウミガメ)に会えて、大感動でした!
シュノーケリング後のクルージングでは、ちょっと家族が船酔いしちゃって心配でしたが、ワイキキのホテル群やダイヤモンドヘッドを見ながら、風を切って航行するのは本当に気持ちよかったです。
あと、キャプテンとクルー、インストラクターがめっちゃかっこよかったです。

I was picked up from the hotel, and it took about an hour to get to the port, but being on the boat was amazing! The weather was bad, so we couldn't see the sandbar, but the delicious hamburgers and the abundance of sea turtles and tropical fish were so incredible that my child hesitated to swim. ✨ The tour guides were friendly, attentive, and all very nice. It was my first trip to Hawaii, and I'm glad we booked the tour. I hope we can see the sandbar next time!

Second Excursion (not to be the last)

Reviewed by: Shanan and Ron

Best time on island when we are here. Highly recommended. The crew is friendly and safety is readily apparent. Shy is a great captain and knows her stuff! The hospitality and food are above reproach. Value throughout the trip and worth every bit. Nothing short of spectacular and the opportunity to see Sea Turtles, fish of different species, and Rays. Best value we have found near the North Shore.

Big shout out to Scott and his team! We just took our first ever snorkel and my wife does not swim well and is afraid of the water. Scott is a very calm and encouraging person, my wife held on to the float and with the life vest had no worries about sinking. Sure the water was murky today, yet we saw fish, and held a starfish, a sea cucumber, and an urchin. Way cool!

Reviewed by: にっしー

The tour was fun, but the high waves in Waikiki and the simple life jackets that resembled airplane life vests seemed difficult for my 7-year-old child for snorkeling. We were able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and it was enjoyable to sail out with the yacht's sails up. It might be fine for children who are strong swimmers and accustomed to snorkeling.

7歳の子供にはワイキキの高い波と、
飛行機の救命胴衣のような簡易ライフジャケットはシュノーケルには難しかったようです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング ベテラン日本語ガイドがご案内する少人数制ツアー 貸切プランあり<半日>

My first time in Hawaii. 初めてのハワイ

Reviewed by: かづ

I was recommended Hanauma Bay as a great spot in Hawaii by a friend, but I learned that reservations are required for entry. Since I can't drive, I was looking for an all-inclusive plan and found this tour.

I had only snorkeled once before, so I was a bit anxious, but the small group and the attentive guidance in Japanese made it a wonderful experience. I was really happy to see sea turtles!

Hanauma Bay has more waves than I expected, so while floating, my body was swaying, and I was glad I took motion sickness medication. (There were others who got seasick as well. I tend to get motion sickness easily, but thanks to the medication, I had no issues at all.)

I heard that it's difficult to reserve entry tickets for Hanauma Bay, so I'm really glad I booked this tour considering that aspect too.

友人からハワイのおすすめの場所としてハナウマ湾を教えてもらいましたが入場に予約が必要とのことで、車も運転できないので全て込み込みのプランを探しておりこのツアーを見つけました。
シュノーケルは一回しか経験がなく少し不安でしたが、日本語で少人数で丁寧に進めてもらい、ウミガメも見ることができて本当に良かったです!
ハナウマ湾は思ったより波があるので、浮いている間に身体が揺れるので酔い止めを服用していってよかったです。(波酔いしてしまっている方もいました。自分もかなり乗り物酔いしやすいですが、薬の服用のおかげで全然問題なかったです)
ハナウマ湾の入場チケットは予約困難らしく、その点も含めてこのツアーを予約してよかったなと思います。

We had a great transportation to and from the boat. The driver was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the area.I loved being able to snorkel, swim and just be on the platform. There was musical entertainment on the boat, which was nice on the way to and on the way back from the sandbar. The crew made everything fun and made sure that everyone was safe. I would do it again, for sure, and maybe next time I will have the courage to try the stand up paddle board.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Very meh

Reviewed by: Des

Not really worth it.
Drinks are not offered until after you get out of the water. Kinda lame. But safety first, I get it. Ticket says 3 beverages. By the time you're out of the water and get a drink from the bar, you have about 15 minutes out on the water before getting back to the beach. I ordered two drinks and didn't have time to finish my second beverage. And you can't take them off the boat with you.
I saw two turtles. Water is not very clear and you are crowded by so many other tours. You are required to wear a life jacket the whole time, so you can't even dive down to take a closer look at the turtles. They're about 30 feet below you. One did surface, so that was cool.

Staff were super unenthusiastic. Yes, you're working. You live here. We're tourist, whatever. But at least smile. It's like none of them have ever traveled before. This is a bucket list adventure for some people. Maybe show some passion. The male guide couldn't project his voice whatsoever and had zero excitement in his voice when going over safety measures. The female guard also struggled with public speaking and wrapped it up with "I tried my best to make sure you all saw a turtle, if you didn't, that's your fault."
The only person on the boat who deserved part of the tip I left was the good looking thor dude. He was at least friendly. Mahalo to you.

Also. They advertise two hammock like seating areas. A couple scored the first one. The other one was occupied with thier equipment. I kindly asked if they could move it over 4 feet so I could sit there and the girl said no. I arrived early just to claim that spot. I was not the only person to ask, either. Maybe don't put the equipment in the most desirable area to sit?

Would not book again.

There weren't as many fish as I had thought. 魚がおもってたほどいなかったです

Reviewed by: 昔の新婚さん

We gathered in front of the hotel early in the morning (5:45 AM) and watched the sunrise until our reservation time for Hanauma Bay (6:30 AM). This activity does not require a reservation for entry to Hanauma Bay, but you need to purchase tickets on-site, and you have to wait in line until it's time. I felt that time was a bit wasted, but I guess that's what you get for a cheap tour. One participant in the same tour kindly purchased tickets for everyone at the counter. Of course, we all lined up together.

If the tour included the ticket price, I suppose there wouldn't be any need to wait in line? I saw some people entering without waiting. Since everything was explained in English, there were some things I didn't understand. I heard there are lockers available, but I think it's better to take valuables to the beach. Someone needs to keep an eye on the bags. The snorkeling gear was cheap, and it was hard to breathe underwater. Some people mentioned it broke halfway through. The driver said if we called, he would help us... in English.

If you want to participate in the tour efficiently and with peace of mind, I think it's better to join a Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour guided by Japanese staff, even if it's a bit more expensive.

朝早くから(5時45分)ホテル前集合で、ハナウマ湾の予約時間(6時30分)まで朝日が昇るのを見てました。
このアクティビティーは、ハナウマ湾入場予約は不要なのだけど、現地でチケット購入しないといけないく、時間になるまでならんで待っていないとダメでした。
その時間がもったいなかったかな?安いツアーだからしょうがないです。
同じツアー参加者の一人が全員分のチケットをまとめて窓口で購入してくれました。もちろん全員同じかたまってならんでました。

チケット代金も入ったツアーならたぶんこの並ぶ ということはないのかな?並ばないで入ってる人もいたので。
全部英語で説明させるのでわからないこともありました。ロッカーあるとのこと、でもビーチに貴重品はもっていった方がいいと思います。誰か一人荷物番が必要です。
シュノーケルも安物か海のなかで息がしづらいです。
途中で切れたという人もいました。電話してくれれば…と、ドライバーはいってました。英語です。
効率よく、安心してツアーに参加したいのであれば、少し高くても日本人スタッフが案内してくれるハナウマ湾シュノーケルに参加した方がいいと思います。

For meals, only before going down to the beach, card payments are accepted. The BIG hot dog was $11, and we were able to share it between two people. The fish is larger and there are many more varieties compared to before the pandemic!

早朝ピックアップで早く到着の為、集合12:30までたっぷり楽しめました。時間通りの対応が、良い!
食事は、海岸に降りる手前のみ、カード飲み対応です。BIG ホットドック、11ドル、二人でシェアできました。コロナ前より、魚が大きくて、種類も沢山!

I participated with a friend in Hawaii for the first time. We had a great time floating on the surfboards and sometimes challenging ourselves with stand-up surfing. I enjoyed my time in Hawaii after four years. Thank you, and I will participate again.

初めてのHawaiiの友人と参加しました。サーフィンボードにぷかぷか乗って、時にはスタンドアップサーフィンに挑戦して楽しい最高の時間が共有出来、四年ぶりのHawaii時間を楽しみました。ありがとうございますまた、参加します。

It looks different from the photos. 写真とは印象が異なる

I participated in weather that was sunny with occasional clouds. Since the weather was relatively nice, I dreamed of seeing the sandbar I had seen in photos, but in reality, the sea was murky with low transparency due to the sand... However, I was able to go snorkeling in an area with lots of sea turtles, and the crew members were very kind. The service of spam onigiri and snacks was also greatly appreciated.

晴れときどき曇のような天気で参加。天気がわりと良かったため、写真で見ていたサンドバーを見れると夢みて参加したのですが、実際には砂で濁って透明度の低い海でした。。。
ただ、ウミガメがいっぱいいるところをシュノーケリングできたり、クルーの方々も非常に優しく、スパムおにぎりやお菓子のサービスなどは非常に有難かったです。

Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I sincerely apologize for the weather not being favorable and for not meeting your expectations. I truly appreciate your kind words about the turtle watching and our services despite the circumstances. I would be delighted if you consider joining us again on your next visit to Hawaii. I hope you encounter beautiful blue skies on that day. Mahalo!

キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きまして本当にありがとうございました。
天候に恵まれなかったようでご満足頂けず大変申し訳ございませんでした。そのような状況のなかタートルウオッチングやサービスをお褒め頂きましたこと心より感謝しております。次回またハワイにお越し頂いた際はぜひまたツアーへのご参加をご検討頂ければ嬉しいです。その日は美しい青空に出会えますように。Mahalo!
