All Reviews for Private Daytime Boat Charters

We came as a group of 9. All of the workers were very accomodating and had great vibes. The live music was also amazing. We enjoyed all the activities and had a blast during our tour. Definitely recommend!

Very good time and price is good for you get. Well organize and having restricted area avoid to be around too many people. Thanks

Such a great time. Though cloudy at times the sandbar was fun. The SUP was fun for my first time and all hosts were gracious and positive. The morning seems like a good time to go since the tide is lower. The live music was such a treat. My friends and I had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again.

I booked the afternoon trip. Departure at 1 PM (lunch will be served at that time), arriving at the sandbar in about 30 minutes. After that, there will be activities until around 3:30 PM. We chose the bumper tube, which was a fun first experience. After that, you can try kayaking, SUP, and more. During snorkeling, you can see many fish swimming around. This time, the sandy beach didn't appear, but we had a great time. It might be even more beautiful than Hanauma Bay, and I think it's nice that it's not crowded.

午後便を予約しました。13時出港（その際に昼食）、30分程度でサンドバー到着。その後15時30分程度まで、アクティビティとなります。私達は、バンパーチューブを選択、初めての経験で面白かったです。その後は、カヤックやSUP等、何でも体験できます。シュノーケリングでは、たくさんの魚達が泳いでいるのを見ることができます。今回は砂浜は現れませんでしたが十分楽しむことができました。ハナウマ湾より綺麗かもしれませんし、混雑していないのが良いと思います。

My husband, 71, and I, 64, went kayaking in the Hawaiian sea for about an hour! With Hawaiian music playing, we headed to the sandbar. The water was deep up to my shoulders, which was a bit scary, but thanks to the wonderful people at the sandbar who took care of us, it became a fun memory. I am grateful.

夫71歳、私64歳が、ハワイの海でⅠ時間程、カヤックをやりました!ハワイアンミュジックが流れる中、サンドバーへ。ただ肩までの深さがあり、少し怖かったのですが、お世話してくださったサンドバーの皆様のおかげで、楽しい思い出となりました。感謝しております。

Everything was Amazing from the staff to the gorgeous view


Definitely need to come back with my family next time


Thank you

Our first time in Hawaii and first time doing something like this. The staff was amazing, kind, and professional. They made us feel safe and made sure we were having a great time. The snacks and refreshments were great as well. My wife and I had an amazing time seeing dolphins, turtles and even flying fish. Thank you for this experience.

My cousin and I had an amazing time. The stuff was awesome; helpful and fun.
This is a very cool location; we went during high tide and have no regrets of selecting that time slot. The weather was warm, the water was calm and clear. We took advantage of all of the activities; we kayaked, paddle boarded and hung out on the floating platform. The live music was the cherry on top. I would definitely recommend booking this specific tour.

I have been to Hawaii more than 20 times with my family, but this time I participated in this tour with a friend. When I was booking in Japan, there were many similar sandbar tours, and after some deliberation, I decided on this one because of the "live music." I was truly moved by the wonderful singing and performance, even more than I expected! It was also helpful that there were staff members who spoke Japanese. The activities were a lot of fun, and I got to experience multiple things! Thank you for the big donuts and juice! I want to participate again!!

個人では行けないサンドバー、ハワイには家族と20回以上は行っていますが今回は友人と2人での滞在だったのでこちらのツァーに参加させて頂きました。
日本で申し込む際、同じ様なサンドバーツァーがたくさんあり迷った末「ライブミュージック付き」が決め手となり申し込みました。
とても素敵な歌声と演奏を聴かせて頂き思った以上に感激しました!
また日本語が話せるスタッフの方もいらっしゃって助かりました。
アクティビティは複数体験できて最高に面白かったです!
大きなドーナツ、ジュースごちそうさまでした＼(^o^)／
また参加したいです!!

We love it! My husband and I get to much fun, amazing music and excellent staff.

We reallly loved ths, as we are not great at snorkeling, it made it easy to swim a long time and there is a great amount of marine life!

We went during our honeymoon and had an amazing time. The whole crew was so nice and helpful. The live music in the boat was so good. And the activities were a lot of fun. Would definitely do it again.

Perfect time my daughter loved it
She enjoyed the banana the bumper she enjoy watching turtles and fishes

What a great excursion with live music to enjoy as we were heading out & returning from the sandbar. The weather eventually co-operated with the sun coming out on the last hour. Highly recommend this company for this excursion.

The sandbar was quite deep!
The music was good.
I didn't enjoy it much because the explanations from the Japanese tour guide were a bit sharp.
I think it would be better if they interacted in a brighter and friendlier manner!

サンドバーはかなり深かったです！
音楽はよかったです。
日本人のツアーガイドの方の説明等刺々しくあまり楽しめませんでした。
もっと明るくフレンドリーに接した方がいいと思います！！

The sandbar is very nice, we arrived at the tour boat with plenty of time and were able to find parking! which was great, but arrive early to be safe, we received a safety briefing and we were on our way!

The boat ride from the dock to the sandbar is short but with entertainment along the way and snacks.

Once you get there there is a place to snorkel and swim around, and a platform to lounge and baste in the sun.

However the day we went tide was high so the water was up to our chests, however not something the tour can control.

We liked it a lot and would do it again.

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.

Our party had a great time. All of the staff was very friendly and ensured we had fun and were safe. The whole experience was amazing.

In the afternoon, the sand wasn't packed down and felt like it was floating in the sea, but I had a great time with various activities! The banana boat was also amazing!

午後の時間帯で、砂はあわられておらず海にぷかぷか浮いている感じでしたが、いろんなアクティビティができて楽しかったです！
バナナボートも最高でした

For my husband and I who were not sure if we were comfortable in deeper water, this snorkel was perfect and shallow with plenty of fish!

We were going back and forth on which boat to go with and we were so happy we chose this one! The staff were amazing. So friendly and informative and helpful. The live music was amazing and made experience that much more special! They had refreshments and donuts complementary. There we was snorkelling, kayaking, paddle boards and a dock to chill at when you arrived. When we were there we looked around at the other boats and they honestly had nothing going on lol. Would definitely recommend going with them for this experience :)

The boat was large, so it didn't sway at all, and we enjoyed drinks, donuts, and live music on board. I had signed up for a tour that was supposed to coincide with low tide, but we couldn't see the sandy beach, and the water depth was about to the chest of an adult. However, with this depth, it's safe even if you fall while snorkeling, and it might be just right for enjoying snorkeling. During snorkeling, you get to feed the fish, so they come right up to you, which is fun!

大きめの船なので全く揺れず、船上で飲み物やドーナツ、生演奏が楽しめました。干潮の時刻に合わせたツアーを申し込んだはずなのですが、砂浜は見えず、大人のみぞおち位の水深がありました。
でも、このくらいの水深だとSAPで転んでも安全だし、シュノーケリングも楽しめて丁度良いかもしれません。シュノーケリングでは餌をもらえるので魚が向こうから寄って来てくれて楽しい！

The weather was nice and I had a great time! However, the morning pickup location was the same as other tour companies, so there were a huge number of people gathered, and with so many shuttle vehicles, it was difficult to find my ride. Also, unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar due to the timing (but that's just a natural phenomenon, so it can't be helped). I was surprised when they said we would ride the bumper tube and banana boat one after the other right after we arrived (before going into the sea), but the bumper tube was thrilling and fun! The staff were all kind, polite, and enjoyable, which made me feel at ease.

天気も良くとっても楽しかったです！
ただ、朝のピックアップ場所が他のツアー会社と同じなので、ものすごい人数が集まり、送迎車もたくさんなのでどれが自分のお迎えの車なのか探すのに苦労しました。
それと、残念ながらサンドバーは時間帯が悪く見られませんでした。(こればっかりは自然現象なので仕方ない)
ついて早々に(海に入る前に)バンパーチューブとバナナボートに立て続けに乗ると言われびっくりしましたが、バンパーチューブはスリル満点で楽しかったです！
スタッフさんもみんな優しく丁寧で楽しい方たちなので安心でした。

The two-hour private rental was amazing, with a fantastic view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean! Swimming while anchored was also very refreshing! I highly recommend it for families and friends!

２時間貸切ですが沖から眺めるワイキキビーチ、ダイヤモンドヘッドは最高でした！
停泊しての海水浴も気持ち良い！
家族や友達の利用はお勧めです！

The pickup location and the bus landmark that was communicated in advance were easy to understand. There were staff members who could speak Japanese, so I didn't have any trouble. I enjoyed multiple activities, and there was a live performance on the boat, which was a lot of fun.

Since it was mentioned in the notes that the boat was cashless, I only brought my card and couldn't pay a tip. All the staff were friendly and provided great service with smiles, so I regret not bringing a little cash.

The temperature setting on the bus was quite low, so it was really cold on the way back. I should have brought an extra bath towel or a light jacket as a precaution.

ピックアップしてくれる場所も、あらかじめ連絡のあったバスの目印も分かりやすかったです。
日本語対応可能なスタッフがいたので、困ることなかったです。
複数アクティビティも楽しめるし、船上では生LIVEもあり、とても楽しかったです。
注意事項に船上はキャッシュレスとあったので、カードのみ持参したため、チップを払うことができませんでした。スタッフ皆さん、笑顔で気持ちのいい対応をしてくれていたので、少しキャッシュを持参すれば良かったと後悔してます。
バスの温度設定がかなり低いため、帰りは本当に寒かったので、バスタオルを1枚余計に持参するとか、薄手の上着を持参する等、対策すればよかったです。

Extremely beautiful, fun and amazing! My mother in law never goes into large bodies of water and she was swimming here the entire time. The first time in years! That should tell you something! Perfect for kids my little sister and niece are both 8 years old and had no problem standing in the water and swimming around. The crew is the best! Beautiful kind hearted people. Overall 10/10

First of all, the meeting place was hard to find! I think that should be improved.
The tour was in August, and while it was fine until we boarded the boat, upon arrival, there was no land in sight, and it was quite deep. My daughter and grandparents couldn't touch the bottom at all and were nearly drowning.
Also, there was hardly any snorkeling. There were no fish at all. The sea was deep and there were waves, so it was dangerous for shorter individuals (laughs).
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding were somewhat enjoyable, but those two activities alone were too much time to fill.
Regarding the day I went, it was quite a disappointing tour.

まず第一に集合場所が分かりづらい！！そこは改善するべきだと思います。
8月のツアーでしたが、船に乗るまでは良かったのですが、現地に到着しても陸地は現れず、かなり深いです。娘や祖父母は全く足がつかず、溺れかけていました。
そしてシュノーケリングも無いようなものです。魚は全くいないです。海も深く波もあるので、小柄な方は命がけでした（笑）
カヤックやサップはそれなりに楽しかったですが、その2つだけで時間を潰すには時間が長すぎます。
私の行った日に関しては、かなりハズレツアーでしたね。

I participated with my fifth-grade son.

I felt reassured because the guide was a Japanese woman. There was also a local staff member who spoke a little Japanese, and they were very kind. You could easily recognize them by their tall stature and distinctive hat.

On the way from the port to the sandbar, we enjoyed drinks and donuts while listening to the relaxed singing of a musician.

Once we arrived at the sandbar, we could do stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling, and the local staff kindly taught us how to use the equipment. I could speak a little English, but even those who couldn't speak it were treated with care through gestures, so there was no need to worry. I think you can also do banana boat rides if you make a reservation, but since my child is small, we didn't do that this time.

On the way to the sandbar, a young boy in elementary school became unwell and collapsed, but the Japanese female staff responded appropriately, and there was also a nurse among the guests, so the boy recovered without any issues.

The staff's response and the activities were excellent!

As advice for those who will participate, I think it's a good idea to prepare a change of clothes, including underwear, because it can get quite cold after coming out of the sea while still in wet swimsuits.

There was a hot water tank (for drinking water) near where we could get drinks, and I was grateful to have warm water to drink since I was feeling cold. (*^_^*)

小学5年生の息子と母で参加しました。

案内役の方が日本人女性だったので不安はありませんでした。現地のスタッフの中に片言で日本語を話してくれる方が居てとても親切でした。背が高く特徴のある帽子を被って居たのですぐに分かると思います。

港からサンドバーまではドリンクとドーナツのサービス、そしてミュージシャンのゆったりした歌声を聴きながらの移動でした。

サンドバーにつくとサップ、カヤック、シュノーケリングが出来るのですが、現地スタッフがとても親切に乗り方などを教えてくれました。私は少し英語を話せましたが、話せない方でも身振り手振りで丁寧に接して下さるので心配ありません。バナナボートも予約を入れれば出来るのだと思いますが、子供が小さいのもあり我が家は今回入れませんでした。

サンドバーに向かう時、小学生の男の子が具合が悪くなり倒れてしまいましたが、その時も日本人女性のスタッフが適切に対応されていて、お客さんの中に看護師さんも居たので男の子も回復し事なきを得ました。

スタッフの対応とアクティビティの内容についてははなまるでしたよ！

これから参加する方へのアドバイスとしては海から上がった後、濡れた水着のままだと結構冷えるので、下着を含めた着替えを1セット用意しておくと安心だと思います。

ドリンクをもらえるところの側にお湯が出るタンク（飲料水用）があって、私は体が冷えてしんどかったので温かいお湯が飲めたのは有り難かったです(*^_^*)

From beginning to end my family and I had a great experience. We kayak, snorkeled and my children played volleyball. We had so much fun would definitely do it again.

This was a great experience! Alot of activities for families to do. You can go snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding or just relax on the sandbar. All the equipment was provided. The staff was super helpful and friendly. We would definitely do this again.
