Paddling a canoe and riding the waves! I probably expected to get wet, but I really got splashed. I had a very fun experience getting hit by the waves in Waikiki. It's definitely something you should try!
カヌーを漕いで波に乗る!多分濡れることを想定していたが、本当にバシャバシャかぶりました。ワイキキの波しぶきを前面に受けてとても面白い体験をしました。ぜひ体験すべきです!
水着、ストラップ付きのサンダル(または裸足)、携帯はビニール?で防水がいいかも。
Dear Atsushi,
Thank you very much for the 5-star rating. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience. We recommend that participants join barefoot.

My 9-year-old daughter participated. Since it was a surfing experience in shallow waters, I felt more at ease as a parent with her wearing a life jacket. She really practiced surfing and was able to stand on the board properly within an hour. She felt a sense of accomplishment and said it was a really great experience! Additionally, although there was an extra charge, they also filmed a video, and the quality of the final product is good.

The luau show and the fire show were wonderful. The tattoo experience was also great, and I got a unique flower design. I could choose designs like turtles or tribal patterns for the tattoo. Of course, since it was done with a permanent marker, it faded by the next day.
The food was just okay—neither good nor bad.
I was able to see a beautiful sunset from the venue, and on Friday night, I watched fireworks that were among the best I've ever seen.

The Xplore ride was really fun and brought out the kid in me! If you know a little about VR and Mixed Reality, this experience starts off with Mixed Reality with nice fish and marine life around you and some light educational sections on Waikiki and the beaches. The ride does transition into full VR at times with underwater volcanic vents, above ground volcanic eruption, a 360 visual aerial view above the islands (nice!), and an underwater route with all sorts of aquatic creatures around you, known to be local to the islands and some nice coral (this was my favorite part). There is more light educational pieces dispersed in these full on VR parts as well. The movement of the bus really gives you the sense of “traveling” through the VR worlds and even the fish “swimming” through the bus in Mixed Reality was enhanced by the movement. Our host was wonderful and really explained everything well! The driver was very friendly too. The experience can be heard in Japanese or English. Too me, the only negative, though the headsets are of very high quality, was the pass through video of the outside was a bit unfocused when it was too far in the distance (like the ocean views near Diamond Head). Final thoughts are that it is definitely worth it and please consider supporting this business and others that bring the beauty of nature and the immersion of technology and imagination together!
Make sure to show up a bit early!

During my visit to Pearl Harbor National Memorial, I was struck by the powerful sense of history and reflection that filled the site. Walking through the museum exhibits, I learned about the events of December 7, 1941, and saw artifacts, photos, and personal stories that brought the day to life. Taking the boat ride out to the USS Arizona Memorial was especially moving, as I stood above the sunken battleship and honored the lives lost. The experience was both educational and emotional, offering a deep reminder of the sacrifices made and the importance of peace.

Diving into the deep blue ocean, known as the color of the Earth, allowed me to see fish and sea turtles in their natural state up close, which was a wonderful experience. We spotted dolphins from the boat, but perhaps because we had children with us, we didn't see them underwater. However, on our way back to the harbor, a large group of spinner dolphins swam alongside the boat and jumped for us! Minako, our Japanese guide with 14 years of experience, always responded to our concerns with a smile and quickly addressed any issues. She was trusted by the other foreign staff, ensuring that we felt completely supported, making our first serious snorkeling experience very reassuring. Mahalo, thank you!

We participated as two adults and one child (10 years old). It was an extremely enjoyable tour with a high level of satisfaction! I felt it was an experience that you can't have at the beach.
As for the transportation to the sandbar, we used the hotel shuttle bus. Since we participated in the morning session, the bus meeting time was early at 7:50 AM. The bus had ample seat width, making it spacious and comfortable.
By the way, the bus information is sent via SMS the day before. The message reminds you of the driver, bus details (color and license plate), time, and meeting place. If there are similar tour buses nearby the hotel, you can easily identify yours by checking the license plate. Just let them know your name when boarding.
After arriving at the site, you check in at the front of the boat, but you need to submit a consent form. If you print and sign it in advance, you can just hand it over on-site. Otherwise, it seems you need to fill it out and submit it there.
Once on the boat, you can enjoy juice and donuts while waiting for everyone to board, along with explanations in Japanese. The explanations are in broken Japanese, but you can understand them well enough, so there's no need to worry. On the way to the sandbar, you can listen to a live performance by musicians, which is very exciting and raises the mood. However, children who can't keep up with the rhythm might be surprised. Our child was like that (laughs).
After arriving at the sandbar, everyone puts on life vests and heads out into the sea. You can choose from snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, or kayaking, doing what you want first. There are limited numbers of stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, but if you wait a while, those who get bored will return them to the staff, and they will let you know in Japanese, "You guys are next!" So just talk to the staff and enjoy floating around while you wait. There are also child-sized snorkeling gear available, so it's safe.
Our family doesn't usually swim at all, and before participating, there were concerns from family members about whether the tour would be okay. However, wearing life vests made us feel secure and those worries quickly disappeared. Our child, who can't swim and can't touch the bottom at all, was excited and having fun. At first, adults just need to support them when getting from the boat to the sea, and after that, they should be fine.
The day we participated was cloudy, so it was quite cold at first, and I was worried, "Can we really stay in the sea?" But after a while, it cleared up and got hot. It's best to apply enough sunscreen.
Once it’s sunny, you can play so much that you forget the time! It was the best tour, and I would definitely like to participate again if I have the chance.
大人二人、子供一人(10)で参加しました。
非常~~~~に楽しく、満足度が高いツアーでした!
ビーチでは出来ない体験だと感じました。
サンドバーまでの移動手段ですが、私たちはホテル送迎バスを利用しました。私たちは午前のパートに参加したのでバスの集合時間は7時50分と早め。バスは座席幅に余裕があって、ゆったりとして快適でした。
ちなみに、バスの情報は前日にSMSメッセージが送られてきます。メッセージには、ドライバー、バスの情報(色やナンバープレート)、時間と集合場所がリマインドされます。ホテル近場で似たようなツアーバスが止まっていたら、ナンバープレートを見れば確実に判別できます。名前を伝えて乗り込みましょう。
現地到着後は、船の前で受付をしますが、同意書の提出が必要です。事前に印刷して署名していれば現地で渡すだけです。そうでない場合はその場で書いて提出が必要そうでした。
船内に入った後はジュースやドーナツを頂きながら、日本語での説明などを受けつつ全員の乗船を待ちます。説明は片言の日本語ですが十分意味は理解できますので心配はいりません。サンドバー到着まではミュージシャンのライブを聞けますが、とても迫力があってテンション上がります。もしかすると、ノリについていけない子供はびっくりしてしまうかもしれません。うちの子はそうでした(笑)
サンドバー到着後はライフベストを着用して、皆さんどんどん海に出ていきます。シュノーケルやサップやカヤック、やりたいものからやる感じです。サップやカヤックは数に限りがありますが、しばらく待っていれば飽きた方がスタッフに戻していくので、スタッフに話しかけておけば「あなたたち、次ね!」と日本語で教えてくれます。ぷかぷか浮きながら楽しく待ちましょう。シュノーケルは子供サイズもあるので安心です。
私たちは海水浴すら全くしない一家でして、参加するまでツアー自体について「本当に大丈夫かな?」という家族からの不安の声がでていました。ですが、ライフベストきて安心して浮いていられるのでその懸念はすぐになくなりました。全く足がつかない&泳げないうちの子も意気揚々とはしゃいでました。最初、船から海に降りる所だけ大人がサポートすれば後は大丈夫でしょう。
私たちの参加した日は曇りだったので最初は結構冷たく、「これ、海につかり続けられるの?」と不安でしたがしばらくするとピカっと晴れて暑くなります。日焼け止めは十分にしておいたほうがいいです。
晴れてしまえば時間を忘れるくらい遊べます!ぜひまた、機会があれば参加したいと思う最高のツアーでした。

Aloha Mr. Gio,
Thank you very much for participating in the tour with your entire family. 🌞🌊
We sincerely appreciate your detailed and thoughtful feedback.
I understand that you had some concerns about whether everything would be okay for your first participation, but it was wonderful to read that you enjoyed the experience while floating safely with a life vest, and that your child was excitedly enjoying the ocean. The entire crew is very pleased to hear this. Especially since you mentioned that you usually do not go swimming in the sea, it is a great encouragement for us to know that your family was able to enjoy it comfortably.
Thank you for providing such detailed descriptions, from the shuttle bus information to how to spend time on the boat and the experiences at the location. This will surely serve as reassurance and a helpful reference for future customers considering the tour. Your warm descriptions of the live performance's excitement and the wait for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking brought back memories of that day for us.
It’s lovely to hear that the weather changed from cloudy to sunny, allowing you to enjoy the sandbar's different expressions. Since the sunlight and sea colors vary each day, we hope that next time you can experience the charm under clear skies.
Once again, we sincerely thank you for such a heartwarming review. We look forward to the day we can meet your family again and will continue to strive to provide tours that ensure your satisfaction and peace of mind.
Mahalo,
Team KBOS
Aloha じーお様
このたびはご家族皆さまでツアーにご参加いただき、誠にありがとうございました。🌞🌊
また、大変丁寧で具体的なご感想をお寄せくださり、心より感謝申し上げます。
初めてのご参加にあたり「本当に大丈夫かな?」というご不安を抱えていらっしゃったとのことですが、実際にライフベストで安心して浮かびながら楽しまれたご様子や、お子さまが意気揚々と海を満喫してくださったご様子を拝読し、クルー一同も大変嬉しく思っております。特に普段は海水浴をされないとのことでしたので、そのようなご家族にとっても安心して楽しんでいただけたことは、私たちにとって大きな励みでございます。
また、送迎バスのご案内から船内での過ごし方、現地での体験まで、とても詳しく書いていただきありがとうございます。これからツアーを検討されるお客様にとって、きっと安心材料となり、参考になるレビューになることと思います。ライブ演奏の迫力やサップやカヤックの順番待ちの様子など、実際に体験された方ならではの温かい描写に、私たちも当日の光景を思い浮かべながら拝読いたしました。
当日は曇り空から晴れ間へと変わり、異なる表情のサンドバーを楽しんでいただけたご様子も素敵ですね。日差しや海の色はその日ごとに異なりますので、次回はぜひ快晴の下で、また違った魅力を感じていただければと思います。
改めまして、このような心温まるレビューをいただきましたことに、スタッフ一同心より御礼申し上げます。
またご家族でお会いできます日を楽しみに、これからも安心してご満足いただけるツアーを目指してまいります。
Mahalo,
