All Reviews for Family & Accessible Travel

I made a VIP reservation and was told I would have the front row seats, but from the photos, it looked like a table seat, and in reality, there were no table seats, just regular seats. If there are changes, I think it should be clearly stated. Moreover, the price difference between VIP and regular reservations is significant, yet the regular seats are just one row behind the VIP ones.

It's really unfair to book based on the photos.

VIPで予約し、一番前の席とのことだったが、写真で見た限り、テーブル席なのに実際はテーブル席などなく、普通の席だった。変更があるならそう書くべきだと思う。しかも、vipと普通の予約で値段が大きく違うのに普通でも席はvipの一つ後ろなだけ。

こちらは写真を見て予約するのに酷すぎる

Great crew! Love how you can byob! Beautiful water and activities. Only wish it would be a bit longer. If you have booked a activity (tubing or banana boat) expect to lose about 30 mins for a 3-4 minute ride. Other than that all was great

We had a great time at the sandbar! The staff was friendly, professional and explained all the safety rules to ensure we all had a nice time. We enjoyed the live music to and from our destination. Our family was able to snorkel and use the kayaks and paddle boards. What a nice afternoon enjoying the sandbar in Kaneohe Bay!!

My wife and I had a great time with Captain and crew. Enjoyed the bay, sandbar, watching sea turtles, and meeting new friends from around the country.

Great burgers and cold drinks were perfect to make this excursion a must book experience on your island vacation.

First of all, the staff is amazing. So fun, nice and helpful in all ways. Make sure to go during low tide though. We ended up going during high tide and wasn't able to touch the floor. Other than that, everything was great!

It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.

The condition of the sandbar depends on the day. I would like recommendations for the schedule and timing, but I need to do my own research, so I would appreciate advice when making a reservation.
The scenery is very beautiful! I was able to see sea turtles while snorkeling, and the underwater views were also lovely.
I really enjoyed paddleboarding as well!

サンドバーの状態はその日次第。日程や時間はおすすめを教えてほしいが、自分で調べないといけないので、そのあたりはアドバイスが予約時にほしい。
景色がとてもよい！シュノーケリングでウミガメもみれて、海のなかの景色もきれいでよかった
SUPも楽しめてとてもよかった！

I book this for me and 3 other people. We absolutely loved everything! The boat ride was really comfortable and they did their best to keep parties separated for COVID safety. We added the banana boat to our day and it was a little scary but so fun! I was having a tough time getting on the board but the staff was super helpful and reassured all of us. I wish we got to ride the boat more than once or later in the day, but it was still fun.

Overall, the trip was great and the staff provided so much to do!

We went on a Friday for the fireworks. Everything from the food entertainment show and service was over and beyond. Would highly recommend! The sunset was absolutely beautiful.

On the day of the sandbar, unfortunately, we left Waikiki with a feeling of disappointment due to the bad weather, but that feeling was blown away once we got on the boat (*´-`).
I believe there were two boats in total, one filled with Japanese people and the other with foreigners, each departing separately.
The crew member Yukiko was very cheerful and funny, teaching us various things. On the boat ride to the snorkeling area, we followed the directions and were able to see a honu and a manta ray.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see them underwater, but I was very excited to see so many fish.
It was a tour that made me want to participate again next time.

5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。

I had always wanted to experience the "Kaneohe Sandbar," and I finally made it happen at the age of 70. I felt a bit anxious from the time I booked the tour until just before participating, but I remembered the "Dolphin Swimming Tour" I took a few years ago on the Big Island and thought, "It'll be fine! Let's go!!"

The advice from the snorkeling guide was great, and I enjoyed swimming slowly with the honu (sea turtles). After that, I challenged myself to stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters. It was a meaningful half-day.

一度は体現したいと思っていた”カネオヘ・サンドバー”、70歳になって実現しました。ツアー予約から参加直前までは一抹の不安がありましたが、数年前にハワイ島で参加した”イルカとスイミングツアー”のことを思い出し、大丈夫！レツゴー！！
シュノーケリングガイドのスタッフのアドバイスがグッドで、ホヌさんなどとゆっくりスイミング・・その後は、浅瀬でサップに挑戦・・
有意義な半日でした。

You can ride horses while enjoying the beautiful sea of the North Shore! The instructions are in English, but I think you can figure out how to ride. I took my 9-year-old child, and they had a great time. They also took a lot of pictures, which made for wonderful memories!

North shoreのきれいな海を見ながら馬に乗れます！
英語のみの案内ですが乗り方などはなんとなくわかると思います。
9歳の子どもを連れて行きましたが、とても楽しんでいました。
写真もたくさん撮ってくれていい思い出になりました！

Unfortunately, it was cloudy with occasional rain on the day of the tour, but it was still a highly satisfying experience. Even before reaching our destination, we could see sea turtles from the boat, and we enjoyed the cruise with delicious snacks (Mochiko Chicken was the best) in hand. Despite the clouds, the refreshing view of the sea and sky made the activities enjoyable. Since it was early September, the water was a bit cold at first, but it gradually warmed up. The snorkeling was deeper than I expected, but even with the murky water, we could see plenty of sea turtles and tropical fish up close, which was a lot of fun!

We had a one-year-old child with us, and everyone was welcoming and kind. During our free time, we could easily move between the covered area of the boat and the sea without worrying about disturbing others while taking care of baby food and diaper changes. There were also free rentals of floaties and underwater viewing boards, and my son seemed to have a great time.

The explanations were in English, but they also provided additional explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. Just be cautious about the order of stops for the return bus, as it was different from the outbound trip, so you might miss your stop.

当日は残念ながら曇り時々雨でしたが、それでもかなり満足度は高いツアーでした。目的地到達前からウミガメが船上から見え、付いてきた美味しい軽食(モチコチキン最高)を片手にクルーズを楽しめました。曇っていても見渡す限りの海と空の爽快感でアクティビティも充実。9月早朝だったので最初は水がやや冷ためでしたが徐々に温かく。シュノーケリングは思ったより深いところでしたが水が濁っていてもウミガメも熱帯魚も触れる距離で沢山見えて楽しかった！
一歳の子供がいましたが、皆さん歓迎ムードで可愛がってくださり、自由時間中は屋根付きの船内と海を自由に行き来出来るので周囲に気を使う必要なく離乳食やオムツ替え等できました。浮輪や水中の見える浮板？の無料貸し出しもあり、息子もはしゃいで楽しそうでした。
説明は英語ですが日本語の説明も別途追加してくれて安心。ただ最後の送りのバスの停車順序が行きとバラバラで、降り逃しにご注意を。

You should definitely go on a sunny day! It was unusually rainy on the day I went, and I thought it would have been really amazing if it had been clear. It didn't seem like we could see any turtles or anything like that.

絶対晴れの日に行くべきです！当日は珍しく雨が降ってしまったので、これで腫れていたら本当に最高だろうなと思いました。亀などは見れるような感じではありませんでした。

It had been three years since my last trip to Hawaii. Since I was going, I was really looking forward to the sandbar tour that I booked in advance. During the shuttle bus ride, they introduced us to recommended classic local foods along the way. We transferred to a boat to head to the sandbar. The weather was beautifully sunny, and it felt amazing to snorkel and play with floaties and on the boat. We even got to see sea turtles, and my parents, who were snorkeling for the first time, were well supported even though they couldn't swim. They really enjoyed feeding the fish as well. Although there was no meal provided, there were snacks, apples, and drinks available. The staff explained everything in both English and Japanese, and they were friendly, even taking photos for us. It was a wonderful tour. I brought a bath towel, a change of clothes, a wrap towel, a hoodie, and spam onigiri, so I was comfortable on the return bus without getting cold. They were very kind to stop by Leonard's as well. The sea was like paradise; it was truly a beautiful place.

3年ぶりのハワイ。
せっかく行くならとサンドバー ツアーを早めに予約しとっても楽しみにしていました。
送り迎えのバスではオススメの定番グルメを道中案内してくれます。船に乗換えサンドバー へ。見事に晴天でシュノーケリングや浮き輪やボートで遊んで本当に気持ちよかったです。ウミガメにも逢えて、シュノーケリング初の両親も、泳げなくてもフォローしてくれ、お魚さんへ餌やりも出来とっても楽しんでいました。食事なしですが、スナックやりんご、ドリンクがありました。スタッフの皆さんは英語と日本語で丁寧に説明してくれ、フレンドリーで写真も撮ってくれたり、とっても良いツアーでした。バスタオル、着替え、羽織れるタオル、パーカー、スパムおにぎりを持って行ったので帰りのバスも冷えることなく過ごせました。レナーズにも立ち寄りしてくれたり、とっても親切でした。天国の海、本当に素敵なところでした。

We had a BLAST! Very friendly crew & good music.

I originally planned to go with a buggy, but since the reservations were full, I joined this tour instead. I was worried because it was my first time on an electric bike, but I got used to it quickly, so it wasn't a problem. We rode on mountain roads, and the power of the electric bike was amazing; I think even people who don't usually exercise would be fine. The scenery was beautiful, and we were blessed with good weather, which made it the best experience.

元々バギーにする予定でしたが予約がいっぱいだったのでこちらのツアーに参加しました。
初めての電動バイクだったので心配でしたがすぐに慣れたので問題なかったです。
山道を走りますが電動バイクのパワーはすごく普段運動しない人でも大丈夫だと思います。
景色もよく天気にも恵まれたのもあり最高でした。

The sea was beautiful and very pleasant. The waves were rough, and I got seasick. If you're not good with boats, you might want to be careful.

海も綺麗で非常に気持ちよかったです。
波が荒くて船酔いしてしまいました。
船が苦手な方は気をつけた方がいいかもしれません。

I changed my initial reservation and received a confirmation email and voucher, but on the day of the service, the shuttle did not arrive even after 10 minutes. After waiting for 15 minutes, I had the hotel staff call for me. After about 30 minutes of conversation, they finally arranged for it. In the end, the shuttle arrived an hour late. I was able to check in and make my flight, but I will think twice about using this service in the future.

当初の予約を変更し、確認のメールもバウチャーも届いていたのですが、当日は10分経っても来ず、15分待ってホテルの人に電話してもらいました。30分ほど話してもらってやっと手配してもらえることになりました。結局1時間遅れでシャトルバスが来ました。チェックイン、フライトには間に合いましたが、今後の利用は少し考えてしまいます。

The airport desk was also prominent, and the participants' names were written and posted, so it was easy to identify. The bus arrived quickly, and we were able to go to the hotel without any waiting time.

空港のデスクも目立ってて、参加者の名前が書いて貼ってあったのですぐにわかりました。バスもすぐに来て待ち時間なくホテルへ行くことができました。

Our visit to Kualoa Ranch was fabulous. We did a ziplining tour and it was incredible! We had never ziplined before but our guides explained it all and made us feel very safe.
The scenery was amazing, zipping over trees and terrain. You get a nice tour of some movie locations - such as Juraasic Park - on the way to and from the ziplines.
I highly recommend this adventure!

It was an awesome ebike tour. Our tour guide (young lady) was excellent.
5 star tour.
The intermediate tour was not different but it was fun, which is what we expect on vacation.

Amazing tour. So much fun. The people who work there are so friendly and fun. Definitely want to go back.

I was a bit suspicious of the overwhelmingly positive reviews, but it was truly amazing. The weather was clear on the day, and the sea looked even more beautiful. There were about equal numbers of Japanese and English speakers on board. With a Japanese guide present, those who don't understand English can feel at ease. At the sandbar, they set up a beach volleyball court, which everyone enjoyed regardless of nationality. The BBQ hamburger for lunch had freshly grilled patties that were very juicy. After that, we saw many sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, and I even had the chance to swim with a manta ray while snorkeling. (It's said that encountering sea turtles and manta rays on the coral reef is quite rare.) Overall, I was very satisfied. However, please make sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly, even on the backs of your knees. You will regret it otherwise.

最高レビューばかりで若干サクラを疑ってましたが本当に最高でした。
当日は快晴で、海が一層綺麗でした。
日本人と英語スピーカーと乗船は半々くらいでした。
日本人のガイドさんもいたため、英語がわからない方でも安心です。
サンドバーではビーチバレーコートを設置してくれ、国籍とわずで楽しめました。
お昼のBBQハンバーガーは焼きたてのパテがとてもジューシーでした。
その後海亀ウォッチは沢山の海亀が見れ、
シュノーケリングでは偶然マンタと泳ぐこともできました。(珊瑚礁での海亀やマンタとの遭遇かなりレアだそうです)
全てを通して大満足です。
ただし日焼け止めは膝裏までしっかり塗ってください。痛い目を見ます。

I rode my bike through the spacious grounds, and it felt great! I took a lot of photos at filming locations like Jurassic Park and stunning viewpoints. Hawaii has not only beautiful beaches but also magnificent mountains and nature!

広い敷地を自転車で駆け抜け、とても気持ち良かったです！
ジュラシックパーク等映画の撮影場所や絶景スポットでたくさん写真を撮りました。
ハワイは海だけでなく、山の大自然も素晴らしいです！

This is my third time parasailing, with the first time in Hawaii and the second time in Guam. The parasailing in Hawaii was great, but the experience in Guam was very disappointing. Parasailing in Hawaii is definitely the best.

3回目のパラセイリングですが、1回目がハワイ島で2回目がグアムでした。
1回目のハワイ島でのパラセイリングが良くて、グアムで乗りましたが非常にショボくてがっかりしました。
やっぱりHawaiiでのパラセイリングは最高です。

From pick up point to going home, the tour was incredible.
On arrival there was time to look at the other attractions such as the farmer's market, the petting zoo (get to pat a tortoise?)

I would say our guide had to be really good, if not, it is hard to appreciate locations (especially they are just views, really). Our tour guide would make up 85% of the tour.

This tour is recommended if you are a movie/TV fan.

We arrived early so the receptionist said they could fit us in sooner than our appointment so we agreed. It was fine at first once we got on the boat but my excitement started to fade once he started fitting me for my harness. I am a plus size female but the harness “fitted” to me was way too big. It won’t be apparent until we’re in the air, unfortunately. I did the experience with my mom since we came to Hawaii for her 55th birthday. Once in the air, it was very obvious my harness was way too big. If I didn’t hold on for dear life, I would’ve probably fallen back. I didn’t feel safe or secure. The whole experience caused me undue stress & anxiety especially since we were at 1000 feet. The guys on the boat were nice, no complaints about them except for the fact they dipped the other participants 3 or 4 times while they only dipped us once in the ocean. When we docked, I told the receptionist & she dismissed my concern. Not happy with the harness sizing; the one dip in the ocean AND how my concern was handled. I wouldn’t recommend this company. Go with another company!

So fun! This is one of my favorite boats. I liked that it had a covered cabin area for those who wanted to get out of the sun for a bit. The start time mid-morning was great to have a bit of a sleep-in. We headed out to Turtle Canyon, about 5-10 minutes sail from the shoreline. The snorkel gear and fins were good quality and we saw TONS of turtles!! After snorkeling for about an hour, the crew sailed the Waikiki coastline to Diamond Head and we had lunch while we sailed. This one also comes with 2 drinks. The boat was pretty spacious so we had room to move around. Overall, great experiences & great crew!!

100ft underwater. We saw turtles, fish, sunken ships, and sunken planes! Visibility on the day we went was crystal clear and we took tons of photos. I went with my good friend and she brought her 4-year-old. He absolutely loved it!! One thing though, the shuttle boat from shore to the submarine drop zone can be really windy. I packed a jacket which the kiddo was glad that I need since it got a little breezy. Once we were in the submarine, it's fully air-conditioned so I'd have a light jacket if you get cold easily.
