I actually wanted to go to Hanauma Bay and Sea Life Park, but it was good that I had enough time for just Hanauma Bay. I was a bit worried at first since there was only an English guide, but it wasn't much of a problem. Thank you very much.

Fun activities at the beautiful sand bar. Plenty of kayaks and snorkling gears to borrow.
The staffs were very attentive to each participant's need and made sure of the safety throughout the tour.

I was filled with anxiety on my first overseas trip, but there were people who spoke Japanese, so I had no problems at all.
I had a great time on the banana boat and bumper tube, teetering on the edge of falling off! Both activities required wearing life jackets, which made me feel safe.
During snorkeling, I also wore a life jacket and just swam on the surface, but at the snorkeling spot, I was thrilled to see two sea turtles and lots of small fish welcoming me! While touching the sea turtles is not allowed, you can get close enough to take pictures with your smartphone! Just be cautious of seasickness as the boat sways constantly. Also, it was just us, but after we finished, I was so cold that my body was shaking, so if you're worried, it's best to prepare a jacket or a bath towel to keep warm.
There was about a 30 to 40-minute wait from the pickup to the start, and after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, there was a little over an hour before snorkeling, so you can grab a meal at nearby restaurants during that time.
For changing clothes, there was something like a changing room for one person, and there were two lockable restrooms where you could change. However, I just dried off with a towel without changing, and no one said anything while providing transportation.
Tips are given to different drivers for each boat, so after finishing the banana boat and bumper tube, you give a tip to that driver, and after snorkeling, you give a tip to the snorkeling guide.
初の海外旅行で不安だらけでしたが、
日本語を話せる方もおり、何も問題ありませんでした。

水面を泳ぐだけでしたが、ポイントではウミガメが2匹
とたくさんの小魚が出迎えてくれ大興奮!
ウミガメは触るのはNGですが、近づくのは大丈夫なので
スマホでも撮影できます!
常に波に揺られるので船酔いには注意です
あと、私たちだけでしたが、終わった後に体が震えるほど冷えたので、もし不安な方は暖を取れるよう上着やバスタオルをしっかり準備した方がいいです。
送迎後から開始までに30~40分程、
バナナボート、バンパーチューブ終了からシュノーケリングまで1時間と少し時間があり、近くに飲食店もあるのでご飯はそのタイミングで済ませられます。
着替えは、1人分なら更衣室のようなものがあったのと、
鍵のかかるトイレが2つあるのでそこで着替えられますが、私は着替えずにタオルで拭いただけの濡れた状態でも特に何も言われず送迎してくださりました。
チップはボートごとに運転手が違うので、

I stayed at a hotel near Kuhio Beach. I changed into my swimsuit at the hotel and took The Bus to get there. There were no particular landmarks at the meeting point, but staff appeared as the time approached. The staff spoke only English. It was a good decision to come in my swimsuit instead of changing there. The meeting point was in front of the restroom, but it was unavailable. There was a restroom on the yacht.
I took motion sickness medication based on other people's reviews, and none of my family of six experienced seasickness. The yacht, with its pink sails against the blue sky, was very beautiful. There were two staff members, who might have been brothers. They were cheerful and very kind. I was a bit anxious about not understanding English, but I felt at ease.
Since I can't swim, I borrowed a life jacket. During snorkeling, we were guided to a spot where we could see sea turtles. There is a rule that you must not approach within one meter, and if you accidentally get too close, you will be stopped. There were many beautiful fish, and I could have watched them forever. After snorkeling, before heading back to the port, we went a little east, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
クヒオビーチのホテルに宿泊。あらかじめホテルで水着に着替えてザ・バスで移動。
待ち合わせ場所には特に目印がなく、時間が近づくとスタッフが現れました。スタッフは英語オンリー。
更衣室やなく水着を着てきて正解。
トイレの前が待ち合わせ場所でしたが使えませんでした。ヨットにはトイレがあります。
他の方の口コミを参考に酔い止めを飲んで参加。家族6人全員、船酔いすることはありませんでした。
ヨットはピンクの帆が青い空に映えてとても素敵。スタッフは2人で、兄弟?だったのかも。
明るくとても親切。英語が分からず不安もありましたが、安心して過ごせました。
私は泳げないのでライフジャケットを借りました。
シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメのいるポイントまで案内してもらえました。1メートル以内に近づいてはいけないルールがあり、うっかり近づきすぎると制止されます。魚もたくさんいてとても綺麗で、ずっと見ていたいくらいでした。シュノーケリングが終わった後は、港に戻る前に少し東に走らせてくれて、美しい景色も堪能できました。
There is no shower, and you will need to air dry. Since you can't get on the bus while wet, I dried off a bit and put on a T-shirt or a resort dress before getting on the bus. It's also better to use
シャワーはなく自然乾燥です。濡れたままではバスにも乗れないのである程度乾かして上からTシャツやリゾートワンピースを着てバスに乗りました。トイレも済ませたから参加したほうが安心です。

The live music was fun while traveling on the boat to The Sandbar and the donuts were fresh and good. The tubing was an absolute blast! The banana boat was not as fun as the tubing and my wife fell off although we did see sea turtles while on the banana boat. We would definitely do the tubing again. The snorkeling was fun with lots of fish swimming right in front of my face and a coral reef below you while you float on your stomach. The board you can stand on or kneel on and paddle was interesting and challenging. They also had kayaks but everybody wanted to use the boards. Playing volleyball with multiple people out in the water was fun and they also had other toys like footballs and water guns but nobody really used them. Just swimming in the middle of the ocean while standing on the sandbar was a blast. The sandwiches on the way home we're also fresh and good. The only thing that could make this better was if the boat did not have a roof so we can feel the breeze and fresh air while traveling out to The Sandbar. Overall I would definitely recommend this and do it again!

I participated in the second tour. The weather was amazing, the guide was fantastic, and it was a very enjoyable time. After we arrived at the point, we started playing in the water, but during lunch, the tide was high, so even at a shallow point, I, being 153 cm tall, could barely touch the bottom. It's definitely important to check the tides. After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, but about half of the group stayed on the boat.
2便に参加しました。お天気サイコー、ガイドさんもサイコーで、とても楽しいひとときでした。ポイントについた後、水遊び開始ですが、お昼は満潮近く水位が高かったので、浅瀬のポイントでも153cmの私でやっと足がつくかつかないか、でした。やっぱり潮の満ち引きは要チェックです。しばし遊んだ後シュノーケリングでしたが、半分くらいの方は船上に残っていました。
After it's over, there aren't many places to change. Since there are only three public restrooms, after finishing, I have to wrap myself in a towel while still wet and get into the car.
終わった後、着替える場所があまりありません。公衆トイレは3部屋のみのなので終わった後は濡れたままタオルで包んで車に乗り込みます。

I participated in this tour for the first time in seven years. This time, I snorkeled for the first time, and I was so moved that I regretted not doing it before. I was lucky enough to encounter many fish and even saw sea turtles multiple times, which I thought would be a rare occurrence. After getting out of the water, it gets chilly, so I recommend bringing extra beach towels. There were also warm drinks available, which was very helpful. Above all, I was so happy to see our guide, Jamie, again! I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

We utilized the afternoon plan for a family of four, including our elementary school-aged son and daughter. We drove to the meeting point with a rental car, and from there, it took about 20 minutes by boat. On the boat, we enjoyed lunch (croissant sandwiches, etc.) and drinks while taking in the scenery. After finishing our meal, we arrived offshore shortly after.
When I went, the water depth was just enough for an adult like me to stand a little, rather than being at a sandbar.
Once offshore, we enjoyed kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding, which thrilled the kids. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish even as a beginner when diving in areas with coral. Additionally, there were about 4-5 staff members nearby at all times, so I felt comfortable letting the little ones play.
We also reserved a banana boat as an option, but due to some waves that day, we switched to a banana boat. The kids enjoyed the thrill of being towed at a decent speed, and we were amazed when a large sea turtle came right next to the boat. It was much bigger than the sea turtles we saw in Haleiwa Bay, and when I asked the staff, they mentioned that this area has few predators, allowing them to grow larger.
The tour lasted just under four hours, from around 12 PM to 4 PM, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, making it a reassuring experience for those who are not confident in English.
I participated in the afternoon session with about 20 people in six groups. I noticed that there were significantly more participants in the morning session, likely more than double. If it’s less crowded, I think you can enjoy the activities for a longer time, so the impression may vary depending on how busy it is.
小学生の息子・娘を含む家族4人で午後プランを利用しました。
集合場所まではレンタカーで行き、そこから船で約20分、船中はランチ(クロワッサンサンド等)や飲み物がついているのでそれを食べながら風景を楽しみ、食べ終わって少しすると沖に到着。
ちなみに私が行った時はサンドバーではなく、大人の自分が水中で少し足がつくかな、くらいの水深でした。
沖ではカヤックやSUPが楽しめ子供たちも大喜び。スノーケリングでは珊瑚がある場所で潜ると素人の私でもたくさんの魚を見ることができました。
またスタッフが4-5名は随時近くに居てくれるので、多少小さな子がいても安心して遊ばせることができると思いました。
また、オプションでバンパーボートを予約したのですが、この日は波が少しあったので当日バナナボートに変更、そこそこのスピードで牽引され子供たちもスリルを楽しんだほか、大きなウミガメがボートのすぐ横まで寄ってきて感動しました。
ハレイワ湾で見たウミガメよりもだいぶ大きく、スタッフに聞いたところこの辺りは外敵が少ないため、大きく成長できるんだとか。
12時過ぎから16時ころまで4時間弱、楽しむことができるツアーで、参加中も日本語が話せるスタッフもいたので、英語が得意でない方にも安心して参加できるツアーだと思います。
私が参加したのは午後で6組で20名ちょっとくらいが参加、当日の午前のツアーで下船された方は非常に多く倍以上は参加者がいたのではと思います。空いているとアクティビティも楽しめる時間が長くなると思うので、混み具合で多少印象は変わるかもしれません。
It might be a good idea to have a long-sleeved layer, as it can get chilly on the round-trip boat ride depending on the day. I think the tour itself can be enjoyed safely, even with elementary school-
往復の船中は日によっては冷える場合があるかもしれないので、長袖の羽織るものが1枚あるとよいかもしれません。
ツアー自体は小学生くらいのお子さんが一緒でも安心して楽しむことができると思います。

It was great that it was sunny this year after two consecutive years of cloudy weather. When it's sunny, the water is beautiful and I could see the turtles well. Unfortunately, the white sandy beach didn't appear, but I was happy to find Jamie, who took care of us last year, on the neighboring boat! This year, I was moved to see a large turtle, about the size of three adults, swimming gracefully up close! Anyway, the crew members teach us various things in Japanese, so there's nothing to worry about. It gets cold after coming out of the sea, so it's a good idea to wrap yourself in a towel you brought from the hotel. Thank you, Izumi!

We had an amazing catamaran experience in Waikiki! The service and attention from the crew were excellent, making us feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout the trip. The catamaran was practically brand new and very comfortable.
We went snorkeling at an incredible spot where we saw so many turtles—it was absolutely unforgettable! When we mentioned my wife was from Puerto Rico, they immediately played music from there, which made the experience even more fun and personal.

There wasn't a single person who could speak Japanese, and all the participants were from overseas, but everyone was very kind and it was a lot of fun! You can also return to the boat at your own timing!
日本語が話せる人が1人もいなく、参加者も海外の方のみでしたが、とても親切で楽しかったです!

We went out about 30 minutes offshore to search for dolphins. The boat was a speedboat, which might be a bit confusing for those who have participated in snorkeling in places like the Okinawa islands. The snorkeling gear and life jackets were basic, so if you have your own, it's better to bring them along.
The staff were friendly, and there wasn't a photographer as mentioned in the reviews, which made for a fun experience. The Japanese staff were kind and took good care of the children! I wanted to buy some photos, but the original tour price was already quite high. I thought it would be better if the photo cost was included in the tour price, so we could board with peace of mind.
It seems that there were fewer Japanese participants, and there were many English-speaking guests, which allowed us to enjoy the overseas experience.
However, I would like to see improvements in the pickup process. A Japanese staff member came to confirm at 5:30 AM before the driver arrived, and we waited for 40 minutes. It seems there were some issues with the driver, and some Japanese guests were unable to join the tour.
I think it was a good tour since we saw dolphins three times.
I don't think all hotels have the same 5:30 AM pickup, so I would appreciate adjustments to the timing and more reliable pickups.
港から30分ほどの沖合までイルカを探しに行きます。ボードもスピードボードで、沖縄離島などでシュノーケル参加した方などは戸惑われるかと。
シュノーケルもライフジャケットも簡易的なものです。持ってる方は、自分の物を持って行った方が良いです。
スタッフの方はノリが良く、口コミにあったようなカメラマンさんは居なくて楽しく過ごせました。日本人のスタッフさんは、子ども達にも優しく面倒見てくださいました!写真買いたかったけど、元のツアー代もまあまあするし、高いなあと。それならいっそツアー代金に組み込んでくれたら安心して乗り込めるのにとも思いました。
かなり日本人の方の参加は少なくなっているようで英語圏の方が多く、それはそれで海外を楽しむことができました。
ただ、、、ピックアップの仕方は改良求めます。先に日本人スタッフの方が5時半に確認に来られてからドライバーさんが来ますが、40分待ちました。ドライバーさんのミス?でピックアップしてもらえず、ツアーに参加できなかった日本人の方もいるようです。
3回イルカにも会えたしいいツアーだと思います。
どのホテルも同じ5時半ピックアップはないと思うので、時間の調整や確実なピックアップをお願いしたいです。
Aloha! Thank you for participating with your family at Dolphin Middle School. I'm glad to hear that you encountered dolphins three times on the day of the tour. However, I sincerely apologize for the long wait during the morning pickup, which may have caused you anxiety. We have shared your experience internally and are working on improvements to ensure more reliable pickups. Also, thank you for your valuable feedback regarding the photo package. Please do come back and visit us with your family when you're in Hawaii again. Mahalo nui and a hui hou!
アロハ! らららさま。イルカ中学にご家族で参加していただき、ありがとうございました。ツアー当日にはイルカと3回出会えたとお聞きし嬉しく思います。しかしながら、朝のピックアップ時に長い時間をお待たせし、不安な思いをさせてしまい大変申し訳ございませんでした。当日のことは社内にて共有し、より確実なピックアップをすべく改善しております。また、フォトパッケージに関する貴重なご意見もありがとうございます。ぜひまた、ハワイにいらっしゃる際にはご家族で遊びに来てください。Mahalo nui and a hui hou!

We continued from last year. This time, we checked the tide conditions and made a reservation, so the water was very shallow and the weather was nice, making it really beautiful. There were many children, so I couldn't be pulled along for snorkeling like last year, but we were able to see a lot of fish, and afterwards, we had a great time playing at SAP. I think I will participate again next year.
昨年に引き続き行ってまいりました。今回も潮の状態を確認し予約したため、水深がとても浅く、天候もよかったためすごくきれいでした。子どもが多く昨年のように手を引っ張ってもらってシュノーケリングというわけにはいきませんでしたが、魚が多く見れ、またその後もSAPで楽しく遊べ良かったです。また、来年も参加すると思います。
It would be even better if you participate after checking the state of the tides.
潮の満ち引きの状態を確認したうえで参加されるとなお良いです。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour again this year. We are very grateful for the five-star rating. Also, thank you so much for sharing photos with our crew. Please come back and visit us again next year. A hui hou!

It's a bit expensive, but you should choose the PM course. The AM course can be cold if it's not sunny. When it's cloudy or rainy, the water visibility is low and it feels cold. The snorkeling equipment is old and there isn't enough, so I recommend buying some at ABC Store before going.
多少高いがPMコースにするべき。AMコースは晴れていないと寒い。
曇りや雨だと、水の透明度も低く冷たく感じる。シュノーケル機材も古く数も足りないので、ABCストアで買って行くのをお勧めする。
If you're going, the afternoon course is a safe choice.
行くなら、午後コースご無難です。
Aloha Plassey,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour and for sharing your feedback. We sincerely regret that we were unable to meet your expectations.
Weather, water levels, and water clarity can vary significantly from day to day. While there are days when it is sunny in the afternoon, this is not always the case, and we appreciate your understanding that it is subject to the day's weather conditions. For those who are concerned, we recommend checking the weather forecast for the Kaneohe Bay area in advance.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the snorkeling equipment. We will use your feedback as a reference for improvements to ensure a more comfortable experience.
Once again, we sincerely thank you for your participation and honest feedback. We will continue to take your comments to heart and strive to provide a better experience.

このたびはツアーにご参加いただき、また、ご感想をお寄せいただき誠にありがとうございます。
ご期待に沿えなかった点がありましたこと、大変心苦しく思っております。
天候や水位、そして水の透明度は日によって大きく変わります。午後は晴れる日もございますが、必ずしもそうとは限らず、その日の気象条件に左右される点をご理解いただけますと幸いです。気になる方には、事前にカネオヘベイ周辺の天気予報をご確認いただくことをおすすめいたします。
また、シュノーケル機材についてのご意見もありがとうございます。より快適にご参加いただけるよう、改善の参考にさせていただきます。
改めまして、ご参加と率直なフィードバックに心より感謝申し上げます。今後もいただいたお声を真摯に受け止め、より良い体験をご提供できるよう努めてまいります。

Last time, I participated in a different sandbar tour with Veltra around the same time, but it was so deep that my daughter, who is nearly 140 cm tall, couldn't touch the bottom, and it was cold, so we wanted to try again. It was really great!! We saw a lot of fish and were able to do many marine sports, which was the best. Even my 9-year-old daughter, who can't swim at all, had no problems with snorkeling for the first time. The banana boat was also fantastic. I would love to participate again. If I had to say something, I wish there were a few more drinks available...
前回、同じ時期にベルトラの別のサンドバーツアーに参加しましたが、140センチ近くある娘の足が付かないほど深くて、かつ寒くて今回リベンジ。凄く良かったです!!魚もたくさん見れて、マリンスポーツもたくさん出来て最高でした。全く泳げないシュノーケリングも初体験の9才の娘でも問題ありませんでした。バナナボートも最高でした。また参加したいです。強いて言うなら、もうちょっとドリンク類置いて欲しかったな、、、
The snacks are paid and there are few varieties. It might be a good idea to bring something. It's better to wear marine shoes or something similar when entering the sea.
お菓子は有料で種類も少ないです。何か持っていくといいかも。マリンシューズか何か履いて海に入った方がいいです。
Aloha Kuruton-san,
Thank you for the five-star rating.
We sincerely appreciate your family's participation this time. We are very happy to hear your words that it was "very good," especially as a revenge from your previous experience. It brings us great joy to know that your daughter was able to enjoy snorkeling and the banana boat safely for the first time.
Thank you also for your feedback regarding drinks and snacks. We will take your comments about the variety of drinks into consideration for the future. We provide free donuts during the morning tour, and for those who need more, we also sell snacks. We will consider your suggestions for the types of snacks as well.
Once again, thank you for your warm review and five-star rating. We hope you and your family will come back to visit us again. We look forward to the day we can meet again.

改めまして、温かいレビューと5つ星評価をいただきありがとうございました。ぜひまたご家族で遊びにいらしてください。再びお会いできる日を心より楽しみにしております。
