It was my first time out at the Kaneohe Sandbar on my fourth trip to Oahu.
I've heard about it before, never had a chance. It was everything I expected and beyond. The crew was very friendly. It has to be the best activity I've ever done in Oahu!!

The water level was higher than I expected, and I couldn't find any sandy beaches, but I was able to enjoy snorkeling as a result.

Also, the rental stand-up paddleboards (SUP) were very popular, so if you don't go early, you'll have to wait a long time.

思ってたより水位が高く、砂浜には出会えませんでしたがその分シュノーケリングが堪能できました。

また、レンタルできるSUPはとても人気だったため、早く行かないと長い時間待つことになります。

This time, I was able to book a cheap flight, so my travel route was a bit unconventional: Narita → Kona → Honolulu. If you arrive in Honolulu in the afternoon, only Roberts Hawaii can assist you. When I landed at the domestic terminal in Honolulu, I quickly found the large Roberts Hawaii counter right in front of baggage claim 11. After informing them of my flight, I took a bus to the international terminal. There, I met up with the group arriving in Honolulu, switched buses, and headed directly to the hotel. I believe Roberts Hawaii is safe since they operate their own buses with their own employees.

今回、飛行機の予約が安かったので、
成田→コナ→ホノルル　という変則的な移動となりました。
ホノルルに午後着だとロバーツハワイさんしか対応してくれません。
ホノルルの国内線ターミナルに降り立つと、
バゲージクレーム11の前にデカデカとロバーツハワイさんのカウンターが
あるのですぐに見つかりました。
その後、どの便で来たか伝えて、
国際線ターミナルにバスで移動。そこでホノルル到着組と合流して
バスに乗り換えてホテルまで直接移動となりました。
ロバーツハワイさんは自社バスと自社従業員が運航しているので
安全だと思います。

This was our first zipline experience and it was so much fun!! Thank you to our amazing team that lead our group. They made it much more memorable . I would definitely recommend veltra for your zipline adventure!

Easy to pre-purchase before the park, they send you the QR and your ready to go!

What a blast, we got a bunch of cool knowledge on all different pieces that make kualoa ranch!!

We had a blast!! Easy book and we liked the longer tour through the farm!

The sunset dinner cruise was quite crowded. Since I had reserved a 5-star experience, there wasn't much of a feeling of congestion when I arrived on the floor, and I was able to enjoy it at a leisurely pace. The meal also progressed slowly, so many people went out to the deck to enjoy themselves along the way. While sipping on a Mai Tai and gazing at the sunset... I realized the sky was filled with stars. Fireworks erupted from Waikiki Beach, and the atmosphere on the boat reached its peak! After that, we returned to port while indulging in jazz. It turned out to be a wonderful day.

サンセットディナークルーズはかなりの混雑ぶり。5スターを予約したのでフロアに着くとそれほど混雑感は無く、ゆっくりと楽しめました。食事もかなりゆっくりと進むので、途中デッキに出て楽しんでいる方も大勢いました。サンセットを眺めながら、マイタイを飲みながら…気付くと満天の星空。ワイキキビーチから花火が上がり船内の盛り上がりも最高潮！その後、JAZZに酔いしれながら帰港。素敵な1日になりました。

It started with a live performance on the boat, followed by bumper tubes and banana boat rides, and then snorkeling, which was full of fun! We even encountered a sea turtle (^^) And finally, we indulged in the live performance once again... I sincerely pray for the reconstruction of Maui.

船上ライブに始まり、バンパーチューブ&バナナボートその後シュノーケリングと楽しさ満載でした！
ウミガメにも遭遇して(^^)
そして最後に再びライブに酔いしれ…
マウイ島の再建を心よりお祈りいたします。

Great food, good entertainment, great view of the fireworks, and ended the cruise with a fun dance party!

During my stay, I had been wanting to ride a catamaran, so I made a reservation for 11 AM two days later. The booking process was smooth. On the day of the trip, the weather was great, and we went further out than I expected. It was really fun to see Diamond Head from an angle I had never seen before, and it felt like I was walking on the beautiful blue ocean. Even the waves we encountered while on board felt refreshing. Most of the participants were from overseas, but everyone was in a relaxed mood, enjoying themselves in their own way. The duration of the trip was just right—not too short, not too long—and I was more than satisfied! I definitely want to go again next time.

滞在中、ずっと乗りたいと思っていたカタマランを思いつき翌々日の11時を予約しました。予約はスムーズに取れました。当日は天気も良く、思った以上に沖へ出ます。ダイヤモンドヘッドを見た事が無い角度から眺め青い海の上を散歩しているような感じでとても楽しかったです。乗船中被る波すらも気持ちいい。海外の方の参加が殆どでしたが、皆さんそれぞれ好きなようにリラックスして楽しむ雰囲気です。時間も短すぎず、長過ぎず丁度よく想像以上に大満足！次回も乗りたいと思います。

This is my fourth time participating.
It's incredibly refreshing!
We often join on the last day of our trip.
We take off our sandals on the beach before boarding, and we go barefoot inside the catamaran.
Depending on the waves, you might get splashed!
Make sure to take precautions against sunburn!
If you're lucky, you might even see a honu (sea turtle).

3.4回目の参加になります。
何しろ気分爽快‼️
私たちはよく旅行最終日に参加します。
ビーチでサンダルを脱いで乗船になり、カタマラン内では裸足です。
波によってはビチャーッ❗なんてことも……
日焼け対策はしっかり！
運が良ければホヌ(海亀)も見れます。

The cabana that I was supposed to have reserved was not actually booked, and it took a considerable amount of time at the reception. It was a waste of time. The driver's attitude was not friendly.

予約したはずのカバナが予約なっておらず受付でかなり時間がかかった。時間のロスでした。運転手の愛想が悪かった。

It was a great experience!
There were no downsides at all!
I got to see beautiful scenery, and it was a wonderful experience.
Thank you very much!

とてもいい体験でした！
悪い点は一つもありません！
良い景色を見れて、良い体験になりました
ありがとうございました！

The lunch was delicious, and the staff was friendly. However, whether the sandbar appears depends on the tide, so it's best to check the tide schedule in advance. Since this can be somewhat predicted, I feel that the tour company should provide some guidance on this. If they don't, it's reasonable to think that the chances of the sandbar appearing are low.

ランチは美味しく、スタッフもフレンドリーです。ただ、サンドバーが現れるかどうかは潮位次第なので、あらかじめ満ち引きを確認された方が良いです。ある程度は予想できる事なのでツアー会社が目安を伝えるべきな気もしますが、それをしないと言うことは、サンドバーが現れるかタイミングは少ないと考えた方が良いでしょう。

It was an amazing experience. We arrive in a boat to a sandbar, the water is clear as crystal and pure. You wan snorkel, play volleyball and tan.
If you have chance you can see turtles as well !

Even though it was summer vacation, we were able to participate in activities smoothly without waiting in line. The wave pool had large inner tubes available for free, which made the kids super excited. It was a lot of fun.

夏休みなのに、順番待ちもスムーズにアクティビティに参加できた。
波のプールも大きな浮き輪が無料貸し出しで子どものテンションが最高だった。
楽しかった。

We booked this cor the sunset and fireworks. Seating was packed and food was okay / ordinary, what you would expect from set menu for hundreds. Staff worked hard, tried to keep things moving. Sunset was almost missed due to service. Noisy entertainment. Fireworks were short and low key, and hard to see with packed walkways. We were some what disappointed overall and regreted not going on a smaller and cheaper vessel.

The trip was fun and the staff were great. They gave great information about everything we were doing and safety was very important to them.

I had 2 teenage granddaughters with me. They tried paddle boarding, snorkeling, and other. I just walked around the sand bar and sat in the floating barge and talked to many others. For me it was very relaxing. And the girls loved it. They met many new friends.

The staff were very cheerful, and it turned into a fun trip! I also signed up for activities, and they were enjoyable! 😊

スタッフの方もとても明るく、楽しい旅になりました！アクティビティも申し込みましたが、たのしかったです(^^)

I was worried it might be scary since I'm not good with roller coasters, but it wasn't scary at all! The scenery and the wind felt great.

ジェットコースター系が苦手なので怖いかなぁと心配していましたが、全く怖くなかったです！
景色と風が気持ちよかったです。

I participated with my 8-year-old son, and he said it was the most fun among all the activities we did. We enjoyed it more than we expected. Thank you very much.

8才の息子と一緒に参加しましたが、
いろんなアクティビティをした中で一番楽しかったと言って喜んでいました。想像以上に楽しめました。ありがとうございました。

Surreal experience seeing the ship WW2 ended on. Having a guide made it very pleasant.

The sandbar was in the ocean, but the weather was great, the scenery was beautiful, and I had a lot of fun! The guide was wonderful, and the hamburger was delicious. As mentioned in everyone's reviews, it's recommended to bring extra towels and a jacket since it can get cold!

サンドバーは海の中だったけど、それでもとても天気も良く景色も良く楽しかったです！ガイドさんも素敵でハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
みなさんの口コミ同様、寒くなるのでタオルや上着は多めに用意するのがおすすめです！

I was saddened by the lack of English explanations due to my limited English skills. Japanese tourists are gradually returning to pre-COVID levels, and I hope they can implement Japanese guided tours at least once a day or at least every other day. The guide was friendly and took photos for us, and it felt great to drive through the beautiful land of Kualoa for two hours. I thought it would be even more enjoyable if I understood the movie explanations. We only passed by the giant fallen tree from Jurassic Park, while other tourists were taking photos, but we just walked by. When I asked the guide at the next stop why we didn't stop there, he said that this tour does not stop at that location. If that's the case, it's misleading to have that photo included in the tour description.

Also, when booking the shuttle tour, it's important to try various start times to find one that suits you, or you will waste a lot of time at Kualoa. We had a 10:30 AM start for the buggy tour, and our pickup in Waikiki was at 8:15 AM. We arrived at Kualoa around 9:15 AM, listened to the Japanese guide, watched a Japanese video, and then hurried to buy souvenirs before the tour started. The lockers were broken (it seems to always be that way), so we had to protect our souvenirs with eco-bags as much as possible and placed them at our feet in the buggy, but the eco-bags ended up covered in dust.

After finishing the buggy tour at 12:30 PM, I bought photos from the vendor and went to the restroom, only to find it was already time for the return bus. I had brought a change of clothes, but there was no time to change, and I returned to the hotel covered in dust. By the way, most men were wearing shorts. Sunglasses were available for rent, and they gave us a neck holder (to wear around the neck and cover the nose).

全て英語の説明で英語力のなさが悲しかったです。
日本人観光客もコロナ前に戻りつつあり、１日に一回、せめて２日に一回、日本語ガイドツアーを実施して欲しいです。
ガイドさんはフレンドリーで写真も撮って下さるし、クアロアの大地を２時間走るのは気持ち良く、映画の説明がわかったらもっと楽しいだろうと思いました。
ジュラシックパークの巨大倒木は近くを通るだけで、観光客が写真を撮っていたのに私達は素通り。
次の停止ポイントで、ガイドさんになぜさっき止まらなかったか聞いたら、このツアーはあそこには止まらない、とのこと。だったら、このツアーにあの写真が載ってるのは間違いです。
あと、送迎ツアーを申し込む時は、開始時間を色々入力してみて自分に合った時間にしないとクアロアでタイムロスが多くなります。私たちは10時30分スタートのバギーでワイキキピックアップは8時15分でした。クアロアに9時15分頃着いて、日本語ガイドさんから話を聞いて、日本語ビデオを見て、その後、開始までの時間に急いでお土産を購入。ロッカーが故障してたので、（どうもいつもそんな感じみたい）お土産を出来る限り持参のエコバッグなどで守って、バギーの足元に置いて出発しましたが、エコバッグはホコリまみれになりました。
12時30分にバギー終了後は、業者さんの写真を買ってトイレに行ったらもう帰りのバスの時間でした。
着替えを持って行ってましたが、着替える時間はなく埃まみれのまま、ホテルに帰りました。
ちなみに男性は半パンの方ばかりです。
サングラスは貸し出しあり、ネックホルダー（首にはめて、鼻まで覆う）プレゼント。

You can experience something that you can only taste here! I participated alone, but since it was a group tour, I had a lot of fun blending in with the others. Every view was breathtaking, and I'm really glad I went!!! It seems there are also buggies and horseback riding, but even this bus was a really interesting and thrilling ride, so definitely give it a try!

絶対にここでしか味わえない体験ができます！
私ひとりで参加しましたが、グループツアーなので
周りの方に紛れてすごく楽しめました。
どこをどう切り取っても絶景ばかりで本当に
行って本当によかったです！！！
バギーや乗馬もあるみたいですが、このバスさえも
すごく面白く迫力のある乗り物だったので
ぜひとも、行ってみてください！

Thank you for allowing me to experience snorkeling despite my lack of confidence in swimming. I was moved by the sea turtles and various fish that I could see up close. Above all, I felt reassured to have staff who spoke Japanese. It's just a shame that the weather wasn't good.

泳ぎに自信がない私をシュノーケル体験させていただきありがとうございました。すぐそばで見れた海亀やさまざまな魚にも感動。何より日本語が話せるスタッフがおられ安心しました
ただお天気が良くなかったのが残念。

This was my third time kayaking, so I didn't take a guide. Before departure, I checked a 10-minute explanation on a tablet. We transported the kayak on a cart for about five minutes to the nearby riverbank, then lifted it off the cart and into the water. This was my first experience in this area, so I was a bit nervous but felt happy when I succeeded. When we reached the beach, a young man asked in English, "It's from a nearby shop, do you need support?" I thought I would be asked for a tip, so I declined with a "No thank you" (he might have been genuinely kind; another young man helped pull the kayak up to the sandy beach when we were leaving).

The uninhabited island seemed to be about 300 meters away, but it was difficult to get on the kayak at the water's edge. We laughed while getting on, even as we tipped over. After that, we paddled right and left, struggling to balance our power, and with the waves, I felt a bit anxious about whether we would be okay. After about ten minutes, we got into a rhythm and arrived at the uninhabited island in about twenty minutes.

After that, we paddled steadily towards the coral reef at Lanikai Beach. We borrowed snorkeling gear, left the kayak on the beach, and went snorkeling. I had put my sunglasses, shoes, and boots in a mesh bag for snorkeling, but since I didn't secure it properly, some of the items floated away. I found a few later, but remember to close the bag tightly. This took about three hours.

After eating, we rented bicycles and went cycling. I had planned to try bodyboarding, but the waves weren't that strong. I paddled quite hard, so I didn't have the energy to think about anything else, which gave me a good sense of fatigue, satisfaction, and accomplishment. The sea and the scenery were very beautiful, and I saw sea turtles swimming.

カヤックは３回目くらいですので、ガイドはつけませんでした。
出発前にタブレットで１０分程度の説明を確認してから出発です。
台車に載せてあるカヤックを、５分くらい近くの川べりまで運んでから、台車からおろして、よいしょと川へ。この辺も初体験なのでちょっとドキドキしながら、できた！とうれしい。浜辺に着くと、お兄さんが「近くのショップのものだが、サポートが必要か？」と英語で聞いてくるので、きっとチップを取られると思い、No thank youとお断り（本当は親切かもしれません。帰るとき別のお兄さんがカヤックを砂浜まで引き上げて助けてくれました。）。
無人島は300mくらい先のようですが、まず波打ち際でカヤックに乗るのが難しい。沈しながら、笑いながら乗船。その後は、右に行ったり、左に行ったり、二人のパワーバランスが揃わず、波もあり、大丈夫なのか？とちょっと不安になりました。１０分くらいすると調子も出てきて、２０分くらいで無人島に到着。
その後は、ラニカイビーチのサンゴ礁を目指してひたすら漕ぐ。シュノーケリングのセットを借りたので、浜辺にカヤックを置いて、シュノーケリング。シュノーケリングを入れる網袋にサングラス、靴、ブーツなどをいれていましたが、口をしっかり留めなかったので、中に入れていたものが流れてしまいました。いくつかはその後見つかりましたが。口をしっかり締めることをお忘れなく。これで３時間くらい。
食後、自転車を借りてサイクリング。ボディーボードをやろうと思っていましたが、それほどの波はありませんでした。
結構必死に漕いだので、他のことを考える余裕もなく、良い疲労感と満足感、そして達成感が得られました。海も景色もとても綺麗でした。ウミガメが泳いでいました。

This is a place I want you to visit when you come to Hawaii.
We chose the buggy.
The price is high, but it's a facility you can only experience here.
There are also bus tours and horseback riding tours.
Next time, I want to participate in a different tour.

ハワイ来たら訪れてもらいたい場所です
私たちは、バギーをチョイス
金額は高いけど、ここでしか体験できない施設なので
ほかにもバスツアーや乗馬ツアーがあり
次回は、違うツアーに参加したいですね
