Thanks to the Japanese guide, I was able to enjoy a safe and fun time. I had the best half day with music in the background. I wished I could stay at the sandbar forever. The foreign guide was also fun and friendly, which was great. It would be nice to have fresh water showers on the boat. The restrooms at the dock were too dirty. There were also no paper towels or trash cans. I think suggesting to use the restroom there while filling out the consent form would help avoid crowding the restroom on the boat.
日本語ガイドさんがいてくださっていたおかげで安全に楽しく過ごせた。音楽をバックに最高の半日を過ごせた。ずっとサンドバーにいたいと思った。外国人のガイドさんも楽しくフレンドリーでよかった。船に真水のシャワーがあればありがたい。船着場のトイレがきたなすぎ。ペイパーもゴミ箱もなかなった。同意書を書いている間にそこのトイレを利用をすすめることで船にのったときのトイレが混まないと思う。
水着で参加し、着替えは持って行ったほうがいい。バスが長いし寒くなる。バナナボートは楽しすぎる!!

I was relieved to have the reception in Japanese before boarding. Although it was said that English would be used after boarding, there were some people who could speak broken Japanese, so it wasn't a problem at all. The explanations for snorkeling and the staff were very enjoyable, and I had a great time.
However, perhaps due to the wind, I felt very cold after getting out of the water and was shivering. I wished they could at least provide warm drinks for a fee.
I was able to change in the only changing room available, which was a relief, but it seemed like the foreign guests were planning to leave in their swimsuits and looked quite cold.
I expected a wide sandy beach, but when we got off the boat, it was a shallow sea, which was a bit different from what I had imagined. However, I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling, and it was fun to ride the boat.
受付、乗船前の日本語でしていただいて安心しました。乗船後は英語と言われていましたが、カタコトの日本語ができる方もいて特に問題ありませんでした。シュノーケルの説明や、カラーの方たちがとても楽しくて、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ただ、風が吹いていたせいか、海から上がって寒くて寒くて、ガタガタ震えていました。
せめてあったかい飲み物くらい有料で良いから置いて欲しかったです。
早めに上がり、ひとつしかない更衣室に入って着替えできたので、助かりましたが、外国の方は水着で帰るつもりなのか、寒そうにしていらっしゃいました。
砂浜が広がっているかと思いきや、船を降りたら浅瀬の海で、ちょっと想像していたのとは違いましたが、シュノーケルで魚もたくさんみれて、ボートに乗ったら楽しかったです。

The Japanese staff provided assistance from the pre-boarding explanation and even accompanied us on the boat, so I had no issues at all. I signed up for the full set with the banana boat and bumper tube, and everything was well organized. After that, I was able to enjoy enough time for SUP, kayaking, and snorkeling.
Since there was only one changing room after the activities, returning to the boat a little earlier than everyone else allowed for a smooth change. There were many comments about the bus being cold, but the driver frequently checked the temperature inside, so those in swimsuits didn't seem cold at all.
I think I will participate again next time!
乗船前の説明から日本語スタッフが対応してくれるし、船にも同乗してくれるので、何も困ることがありませんでした。
バナナボートandバンパーチューブ付きのフルセットで申し込みましたが、段取りも良く、その後にSUPやカヤック、シュノーケリングまで時間内で十分楽しむことが出来ました。
アクティビティ後は更衣室が1つしか無い為、みんなよりちょっとだけ早めに船に戻ることで、スムーズに着替えることができます。
バスが寒いとのコメントが多いですが、ドライバーさんが何度も車内の温度をヒアリングしてくれるので、水着のままの人も決して寒そうでは無かったです。
次回も参加すると思います!
If you're planning to change before heading back, I recommend returning to the ship a bit earlier while checking the remaining time with the staff.
帰りに着替えるなら、スタッフに残り時間確認しながら、ちょいと早めに帰船することをオススメします

- Shuttle service was on time.

- Snorkeling was safe for families with children, and we got to see sea turtles.
- During free activity time, we could freely use the SUP and floaties. We enjoyed SPAM musubi, snacks, juice, and water at that time (it was a style where we could take from the basket).
- We could go to the restroom until departure and on the way back, but it got a bit hectic when it was crowded.

When people hear "sandbar," they might imagine a place where you can walk right across to the land! However, that's not always the case as it depends on the tides. Be sure to check the tide schedule and choose a day with low tide! This time, the shallowest part was about between my ankles and knees, but that was more than enough!
After all, the view is something you can't see anywhere in Japan! And even better, this tour includes delicious freshly grilled patties for hamburgers! You can play at the sandbar, eat hamburgers, watch sea turtles (and sometimes manta rays or dolphins!), and then go snorkeling afterward!
With so much fun packed into this experience, it would be a shame not to participate at least once! This was my third time joining, and I still felt the same excitement!
P.S. I later found out that the guide who explained everything in such a fun and energetic way (and spoke quickly, haha) was a friend of a friend of mine! Thank you!
サンドバー!と聞いてみんながイメージするのは、そのまま歩ける!陸地になってる!!
と言う感じかな!?それは潮の満ち干きなどに影響されるから常にそうなる訳ではない。潮の満ち干きを調べてそれなりに干潮の日を選ぼう!今回は1番浅い所で、足首と膝の間ぐらいだったかな?それでも十分なんです!
だって、見渡す限り日本では見れない景色なんだよ! そして、更に良いのは、このツアーは、美味しい焼きたてパテのハンバーガーが食べれるってこと!サンドバーで遊んで、ハンバーガー食べて、ウミガメウオッチして(マンタも見れる時もあるし、イルカだって!)、そのあとシュノーケルも出来る!
こんなに楽しい事が詰め込まれてるから一度参加してみないともったいない!
私は今回で3回目の参加ですが、相変わらずの楽しさを感じれました!!
p.s 後で知りましたが、今回の説明などすんごく楽しく(早口でw)、元気にガイドして下さった方は、私の友人の友人でした☺️✨
ありがとうございました!
Definitely give it a try at least once! Just keep in mind that the weather in Kaneo isn't always sunny, so it might rain!
とにかく一度参加してみて!
ただ、カネオへは天気が常に快晴ではないので、雨降るかも!?って事だけは知っておいてね!

We participated as a three-generation family. There were explanations in Japanese, which made us feel comfortable joining. There was plenty of time for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, and the waves were calm, so even beginners could enjoy it. Snorkeling equipment was also available for rent, and we were able to see many tropical fish.
3世代で参加したました。日本語での説明もあり安心して参加出来ました。supやカヤックも充分な時間があり、波も穏やかなので初心者でも楽しめました。スノーケリングも貸し出しがあり、熱帯魚もたくさんみれました。
It is advisable to participate after checking the tide forecast.

The sea was murky due to the effects of the wind and tsunami, but I was able to see turtles when they surfaced while I was on the boat or in the water. Even though the water was cloudy while I was swimming and looking for sea turtles, I could see schools of fish, so I think there were many more. The sea is usually much clearer, so I would like to go again next time if the timing works out.
The cruise staff were kind, and since the sea was murky, they offered a complimentary soft drink and suggested an alternative for the sunset cruise.
風と津波の影響により海は濁っていたが船の上や海に入っている時に亀が水面に上がって来た時に見えた。他にもウミガメを探して泳いでいた時に濁ってはいたが魚の群を見ることが出来たので他にも沢山いたんだと思う。普段の海はもっと透き通っているみたいなので次回行く時はタイミングが合えばまた行きたい。
クルーズの人たちは親切で海が濁っていたこともありソフトドリンクの1杯サービスとサンセットクルーズの代替案を提示してくれた。
If there are people who get seasick, it's better for those who are prone to motion sickness to bring anti-nausea medication.

It was a very enjoyable experience. It was my first time experiencing a sandbar. I checked the tide schedule and made a reservation for the tour to match the timing when the water level would be knee-deep. When we set off, the sky was very cloudy, and it started to rain as we began to move, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, although some clouds remained, we could see blue skies. The water level was about knee-deep, which was just right for walking in the water. There were some algae floating around, but it was fun to walk through them. Although it wasn't low tide enough for the sandbar to be completely exposed, it felt nice to walk on the white sand. Additionally, I was able to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). Since it was my first time, I started by sitting down, but because there were hardly any waves and the water was shallow, it was easy to stand up. I didn't go snorkeling, but according to a friend who did, there were sea turtles swimming right next to them, and it was a lot of fun.
とても楽しい体験でした。
初めてのサンドバー体験でした。
潮の干満のチェックをして、膝下の水位になるタイミングに合わせてツアーの予約をしました。
出港する時は凄い曇天で、走り出した時には雨も降ってきたのですが、サンドバーに到着した時には多少雲は残っているものの青空が見えてきました。
水位は膝下くらいで、水の中を歩くのにも適度でした。藻がプカプカ浮かんでいましたが、それをかき分けながら、歩くのも楽しかったです。
サンドバーが完全に露出するほどの干潮ではありませんが、白い砂の上を歩けるのは気も良かったです。
さらに、SUP体験もできました。SUPは初めてだったので、最初は座ってやってみましたが、波がほとんどないのと、浅い海なので立ち上がるのも簡単にできました。
シュノーケリングはやりませんでしたが、体験した友人の話では、ホヌがすぐ脇で泳いでいて、とても楽しかった、とのことでした。
It's a good idea to check the tide schedule before making a reservation. When walking on the sandbar, I think it's easier to walk with marine shoes after enjoying the feeling of the sand barefoot.
潮の干満をチェックしてから予約するのが良いです。
サンドバーを歩く時は、裸足で砂の感触を味わったあとは、マリンシューズ等で歩いたほうが歩きやすいと思います。

From start to finish this was the best part of our trip to Oahu. The staff made everything go so smoothly and were all so sweet and fun. The musicians were amazing and will even take weird song requests from the audience. The sand bar is stunning and was just so magical, the extras like the paddle boards and canoes, snorkeling and volleyball, were the cherry on top. 10000% recommend that you add this to your trip! We also did the bumper boat and although my husband hated it, my 12 year old son had a BLAST!
You can add on the bumper or banana boats while you’re on the sandbar if you are undecided..

Playing in the sea at Angel's Beach. Unfortunately, when I went, the tide was not low, and it was quite deep. However, I enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling. The strong point here is that there are Japanese staff members and many staff who can understand Japanese. Since many of the tour participants are Japanese, I definitely recommend it if that makes you feel more comfortable.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The staff was exceptionally welcoming, and the live music on the boat created a fun and relaxing atmosphere on the way to our destination. The location was beautiful, and our children especially loved the snorkeling and paddle boarding activities.
Although we brought our own snorkeling gear, we were impressed that the tour provides everything you need—snorkeling masks, lifejackets, and more—which makes it incredibly convenient. You really don’t need to haul your own equipment.
This experience was truly the highlight of our trip. We highly recommend it for all ages—for reference, our children are 6 and 7 years old.
Aloha, Cindy
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review!🌞
We’re delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the tour and that the live music, activities. It’s wonderful to know your children had fun snorkeling and paddle boarding — and we’re glad the provided gear made things easy for you. Hearing that this was the highlight of your trip truly means a lot to us.
We can’t wait to welcome you and your family back for another adventure!🌺🌊

I expected seeing some sandbar but it was very deep waters also had to wear safety vest all the time. I was tired, bored and ready to go back.
Maybe more fun team and entertainment especially when tides are high and not much to do
Aloha Mother
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the water was deeper than expected and that you couldn’t enjoy the sandbar this time. Safety is our top priority, so we require life vests at all time. As the tides change throughout the day, we recommend checking tide times before your visit. Your feedback is important, and we hope to welcome you back for a more relaxing visit in the future.

The tour wasn't bad, but I was disappointed because the sandbar was "not what I expected‼️" I thought we would be able to land on a sandy beach, but there was none at all... We only stood in shallow water. Even though I could have tolerated water up to my ankles, it was actually deep enough to submerge me to my chest, so it felt like I was dropped into the sea 😭 I wanted to walk on the sandy beach, and to be more specific, I wanted to sit on the beach and eat a hamburger 💧 Eating a hamburger on a crowded boat... 💧 I can't even remember if it was delicious because I was so concerned about my surroundings.
ツアーは悪くは無いのですが、サンドバーが「思ってたんと違う‼️」とガッカリしました。砂の浜に上陸出来ると思っていたけど、砂の浜は皆無で、、、
浅瀬に立っただけでした。浅瀬といっても足首くらいの水なら我慢出来たけど、胸までゆうに浸かる海の中でしたので、海の中に落とされた感じです😭
砂浜で歩きたかったし、もっと言えば砂浜に座ってハンバーガー食べたかった💧
ぎゅうぎゅうづめの船の上でハンバーガー、、、💧周りが気になって美味しかったのかどうかも思い出せませんー

Since I was planning to head towards Kailua in the afternoon, I didn't arrange for a shuttle and used the city bus instead. I obtained a prepaid card called Holo Card, which is exclusive to city buses, before heading to the location. (At ABC, only one-day passes are sold, so it's better to purchase a rechargeable card at places like Seven-Eleven.) The city bus is used frequently during the trip, so it's preferable to get it on the first day. The bus arrived almost on time, but the air conditioning was strong, so a light jacket is necessary. The bus fare is quite reasonable at a daily maximum of $7.50 compared to other transportation options, making it recommended for those looking to save money. I feel that a taxi would cost around $50 to $60? In Hawaii, prices fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. Route searches can be done easily with Google Maps. I also used an app called DaBus2, but it seemed a bit difficult to use.
At the location, a Japanese guide (a local) provided explanations in Japanese, and although it was somewhat broken, it was understandable. There were a few Japanese tourists as well, so I think it's manageable even if you don't understand everything. You need to bring a copy of the consent form in advance, but even if you forget, they have it prepared there, so you can just head to the location without worry.
The sandbar was deep enough that when an adult (170 cm) stood, the water came up to just above their chest. I think it would be fine if the sun is out, but it can be a bit chilly, so having a rash guard would be reassuring.
During the round trip from He'eia Harbor to the sandbar, there were light snacks (donuts) and drinks (water, orange juice), and the performance by the two male musicians was quite good.
I would definitely like to use this plan again when I visit Hawaii.
午後にカイルア方面へ向かう予定だったため送迎はつけず、市バスを利用した。事前に市バス限定のプリペイド式決済カードのHoloカードを入手し、現地へ向かった。(ABCだと1日乗車券のみの販売だけなので、セブンイレブン等でチャージ式のを購入すると良い)。市バスは旅行中に利用する頻度が高いので、初日に入手が好ましい。バスはほぼ時間通りに到着したが、車内は冷房が効いており羽織るものが必要。バスは1日上限7.5$と他交通機関と比較するとかなり割安なため、節約したい方にはおすすめ。感覚ですがタクシーでも5〜60$くらい?ハワイは需供で料金の変動が激しい印象。経路検索はGoogleマップだけで問題なし。DaBus2というアプリも併用したが、やや使いづらい印象。
現地では日本語ガイド(現地の方)が日本語にて説明して下さり、カタコトではあったが十分理解可能。日本人観光客も何組かおり、分からなくてもなんとかなると思います。事前に同意書のコピーを持参する必要があるが、忘れても向こうで用意してあるので最悪そのまま現地に向かえば大丈夫です。
サンドバーは大人(170cm)が立つと胸から上が水面から出る程度の深さでした。日差しがあれば大丈夫だと思うが、やや肌寒いので、ラッシュガードがあれば安心。
ヘエイア港からサンドバーまでの往復の間、軽食(ドーナツ)、水分(水、オレンジジュース)があり、男性2人組の演奏がかなり良かったです。
またハワイに訪れる際には利用したいと思えるプランでした。

I participated in the sandbar tour that I had been curious about for a while. There was a slight breeze, but the weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the shallow sea was very beautiful. While snorkeling, I was pleasantly surprised when a sea turtle came close to me. Additionally, most of the staff were women who spoke Japanese well (there were also Japanese people), which made me feel at ease with their bright and friendly demeanor. The snacks and drinks provided were also a delightful service.
前から気になっていたサンドバーのツアーに初めて参加しました。
少し風がありましたが天気は良く波も無く、遠浅の海がとてもキレイでした。
シュノーケリングしている時に、いつの間にかウミガメが近くまで来てくれて、ちょっと感激しました。
また、スタッフのほとんどが日本語が上手(日本人もいました)な女性の方々で、明るく親切なので安心感もありました。
お菓子や飲み物も嬉しいサービスでした。
If you haven't been there, you should definitely go at least once. It's a wonderful place when the weather is nice. You can participate in activities or just relax and enjoy drinks on a boat.
行かれたことのない方は、一度は行ってみてください。天気が良ければ最高なところです。
アクティビティに参加しても良し、船で飲物を飲みながらのんびりくつろいでも良いですよ。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour the other day. I'm glad to hear you had a close encounter with the sea turtles. Please come back to see the turtles again. We are looking forward to that day! Mahalo!
アロハ!先日は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。

The shuttle bus was almost full, mostly with Japanese people. There were also Japanese crew members on the boat who provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which made me feel at ease.
When standing on the sandbar, the water was up to my waist. They lend various items like stand-up paddleboards, floaties, and beach balls. First, we played with the equipment, and then we all went snorkeling over the coral reef. There was a note that said you should be able to swim, but I personally can't swim, yet it was fine because I floated with a life jacket. I think those who can swim will be okay with the flotation assistance, but it's at your own risk.
However, it was quite difficult to move forward since there were no fins. I was paddling like a dog, but my husband, who can swim, said, "I can't move at all..."
I was able to see a lot of sea turtles that I wanted to see, and it was so much fun! There were times when they were right in front of me, and since I couldn't move smoothly, I was flustered (laughs).
Including what I saw from the boat, I spotted about five or six turtles! The sea was incredibly beautiful, and even though it was expensive due to the weak yen, I’m really glad I participated.
送迎バスはほぼ満席で日本人がほとんどでした。船のクルーは日本人の人もいて英語と日本語でも案内してくれたので安心できました。
サンドバーの上に立つと腰あたりまで水がありました。sup、浮き輪、ビーチボールなど色んなものを貸してくれます。最初遊具で遊んでその後みんなで珊瑚礁の上をシュノーケリングしに行きます。注意事項に泳げる方とありますが実際私は泳げないのですが、ライフジャケットで浮くので問題ありませんでした。浮く補助があれば泳げる方は大丈夫かと思いますが自己責任で。
ただフィンがないので進むのは結構大変でした。私は犬かきで動き回ってましたが主人は泳げるのに「全然進めない…」と言ってました。
見たかった海亀を沢山見れてすっごく楽しかったです!触れたらいけないのにすぐ目の前にいた時もありスムーズに動けない私はワタワタしました(笑)
船の上から見たのも含めて5、6匹は見れました!
海もめちゃくちゃ綺麗で円安で高かったけど参加して本当に良かったです。
There is no place to change, so it's a good idea to wear your swimsuit and put on a T-shirt or shorts over it that you don't mind getting wet. You can just get on the bus as you are on the way back.
着替える場所はないので水着を着ていって上から濡れても良いTシャツや下を履いていくといいです。帰りのバスはそのまま乗ります。
Aloha! Thank you very much for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. I hear you were able to try snorkeling as well. While we do not provide fins, you can use your own, so please bring them next time. It seems you also encountered some sea turtles. Sometimes they come close on their own, and other times it can be quite challenging to get away from them (laughs)...
Above all, I am very happy that you enjoyed the tour. We look forward to seeing you again when you come back to Hawaii, along with the sea turtles, in this paradise of the sea.
アロハ!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。

何よりもツアーを楽しんで頂けて大変嬉しいです。またハワイにお越しの際にお会いできる日をウミガメとともにこの天国の海にてお待ちしております。

The tsunami stirred up the sand, making the water very murky, but I was able to swim alongside the honu when they surfaced! I saw more than ten of them from the cruise as well. Additionally, due to the murky conditions caused by the tsunami, they even guided us to a free tour that we could join during our stay. Although I couldn't participate this time, the staff's response was excellent, and I would love to join again. They also offered alternative options to participate in a sunset cruise tour besides the honu, showing their flexibility in accommodating us.
津波の影響で砂を舞い上げ、海中はとても濁っていたが、ホヌが顔を出すタイミングで一緒に泳ぐことができた!
クルーズ上からも10匹以上見ることができた。
また、今回は津波の影響で濁っていたこともあり、滞在中に無料で参加できるツアーまで案内してくださった。今回は参加することができなかったが、この件も含めスタッフの対応がとても良く、また参加したいと思いました。
ホヌ以外にも、サンセットクルーズのツアーにも参加可能の代替案を提案してくださり、臨機応変に対応してくださる。
Although there is also the impact of the tsunami, it would be good to have motion sickness medication available since there were some people who were feeling seasick.
津波の影響もあるが、船酔いしている方がいたため、酔い止めがあると良い。

It's better to participate in a swimsuit and bring a change of clothes. The bus ride is long and it gets cold. The banana boat is so much fun!!
