**Positive Points**
• There are staff members who speak Japanese.
• The staff are kind and provide attentive service.
→ They frequently checked if we were warm enough and were gentle with the children.
• There is a good selection of drinks and snacks.
→ There are warm beverages like tea and cocoa, as well as juice and water.
Spam rice balls are limited to one per person, but you can eat as many snacks as you like.
• The transfer to the sandbar is done by a small boat with a limited number of people.
→ It depends on the number of participants, but this time everyone was Japanese.
• There are plenty of items like floaties available.
→ There were large floaties and floatie boats that children could enjoy.
There was also a boat with a clear bottom to see underwater, so even small children could enjoy snorkeling.
They also lend wet suits when it's cold.
• The bus driver for the transfers was kind.
→ Although he couldn't speak Japanese, he made an effort to communicate.
**Negative Points**
• The restroom is small and not suitable for changing.
→ There is a restroom at the port, but there is a long line, so those with transfers are likely to be late and return wet.
The day we participated, it was quite cold with light rain and a north wind, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves.
In a previous tour, we departed on a large boat with many people from various countries, and after the explanation, it felt like we were free to do as we pleased! However, this time, since it was a smaller group, it was great that we could quickly confirm anything we didn't understand.
Even in bad weather, the staff made various suggestions to ensure our family could enjoy the experience, which greatly increased our satisfaction.
For those participating in a sandbar tour for the first time, I think it would be reassuring to have Japanese-speaking staff and a small group.
Although the price is higher compared to other tours, it was a tour that made me want to participate again.

参加した日は小雨が降り北風が吹いてかなり寒いという
悪天候の日だったが楽しむことができた。
以前参加したツアーは大きな船で色んな国の方と
大勢で出発するため、説明を聞いたら後はご自由に!
という感じだったが、今回は少人数だったため
分からないことがあればすぐに確認できるのが良かった。
悪天候の中でも私達家族全員が楽しめるように
色々提案してくれたりして満足度は高かった。
初めてサンドバーに参加される方は
日本語スタッフが居て少人数なので
安心して参加できるのでは無いかと思う。
他のツアーに比べて金額は高いけれど

I was able to see several sea turtles swimming while on a cruiser to the sandbar. The guide made it easy to spot them. During snorkeling, I was moved when the guide pointed out sea turtles hiding among the rocks. The Japanese crew was very kind. However, in February, the weather wasn't very good and the wind was strong, so it was cold. I had a rash guard, but the water was cold, and the female participants were shivering in the boat. I think it would have been great if they had wetsuits available for rent.

We were so excited to go swim at the sandbar and are so glad we decided to take a boat. Excursion includes a ride to the sandbar with refreshments, crew-led snorkeling, and free time. Was nervous that I wasn't able to swim too well for the snorkeling portion but Jayson was awesome and floated me & three other people through the deep water. Great experience for folks of all ages and backgrounds!
Mahalo for choosing Captain Bruce and sharing this fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing experience at the sandbar with our captain Jayson and crew, and also you felt comfortable during our tour. We would love to welcome you back on board and have a great time again soon! A hui hou :)

This was my first time participating.
It was a snorkeling experience in the calm coral sea.
I can't swim at all, but I felt safe because I wore a life jacket and the staff guided me by pulling a float.
I was able to see many sea turtles and fish.
On the boat, we were served spam rice balls, snacks, and warm drinks.
Since February is the rainy season, we got caught in the rain on the way back, and it was cold.
I think it's a good idea to bring a hotel beach towel and a cover-up.

Since it was the rainy season in January, unfortunately, there was a bit of rain and strong winds on the day, and the waves affected the visibility while snorkeling. I was able to see some fish! It seems there was a sea turtle during snorkeling, but I was swimming ahead and by the time I turned back, it was gone, so I couldn't see it. It was just bad luck. I thought I could also do stand-up paddleboarding, but due to the strong winds, we couldn't do any activities other than snorkeling, and in the end, it turned into a cruise searching for sea turtles. The handmade spam onigiri was delicious! It was disappointing this time, but I would like to try again next time when it's not the rainy season. ☺︎
一月の雨季の参加だったのもあり、残念ながら当日雨が少しと風が強く、波もあってシュノーケルの時、海の透明度はあまりよくありませんでした。お魚は見る事が出来ました!ウミガメもシュノーケルの時いたみたいですが、私は前を泳いでいて戻っていくうちにいなくなってしまって見る事が出来ず。運ですが。supなどもできるかと思っていたのですが、風が強かったせいかシュノーケル以外のアクティビティは出来ず、最後はウミガメ探しのクルーズになりました。ます!手作りのスパムおにぎりは美味しかったです!今回は残念でしたが、次回は雨季じゃない時にまたトライしたいと思います☺︎

I received some important information before arriving at the sandbar. The captain spoke only in English, but a female staff member kindly explained everything in Japanese, which made me feel very reassured during the experience.
Once we arrived, we enjoyed paddleboarding and floating on inflatable rings, and drinks and light snacks (one Spam per person and some snacks) were available for us to enjoy freely! For those who couldn't snorkel, they could hold onto an inflatable ring, and the staff would pull them to points where we could see fish and even sea turtles. It was a wonderful experience!
Thanks to this, I was able to swim with sea turtles. I had a really great time! Thank you very much!

I traveled to Hawaii and encountered rain for the first time. Of all days, it had to be the day I went to the sandbar. Also, be careful because the sandbar doesn't appear when the tide is high.

I visited Sandbar on a different tour before, and this was my second time. I checked the tide schedule and chose the morning tour, but the water level was higher than I expected, above waist height, so timing was tricky.
A Japanese female staff member provided thorough interpretation, which helped me understand the explanations in detail. Additionally, they took non-swimmers along with a float, allowing us to see the fish, which made me very happy. I was also pleased that they prepared warm drinks and rice balls for us.

I was so happy to be able to go to the dream sandbar! Given the time of year, it was unavoidable, but the water level was about waist-high. I participated in late January, and the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, so it was quite cold! It's best to prepare for the cold. (I went into the sea without wearing a rash guard and put it on after coming out. It was the right choice since it was cold on the return boat in the cloudy weather!)
I also joined a snorkeling trip to see corals and sea turtles, but I panicked because I couldn't touch the bottom and gave up. I later thought I should have borrowed a float. However, for those of us who didn't see any sea turtles, the boat crew searched for them on the way back, and we were able to see a swimming sea turtle!
Also, the spam onigiri I received was quite delicious, and I ate a few others elsewhere, but this one was the best! There were drinks like soda, juice, and warm beverages available. After coming out of the sea, I enjoyed warm cocoa to warm up!
憧れのサンドバーに行くことができ、嬉しかったです!
時期的に仕方ないのですが、水位は腰くらいでした。
1月下旬の参加、曇り時々パラパラ雨の天気だったので、結構寒い!寒さ対策はしっかりとしていった方がいいです。(わたしはラッシュガードを着ずに海に入って、海から出た後に着ました。曇りだと帰りの船上は寒いので、それで正解でした!)
サンゴやウミガメを見に行くシュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、足が着かないことにパニックになってしまい断念。浮き輪を借りればよかったなと後で思いました。
ただ、ウミガメを見れなかった私たちのために、帰りの船で探しながら帰ってくれて、泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができました!
あと、もらったスパムおにぎりが結構おいしくて、他でも何個か食べましたが、ここのが1番おいしかったです!

On the last day of the year, three generations participated, from an 8-year-old to someone in their late 60s. We were very satisfied with the wonderful hospitality of the captain and the staff.
My daughter, who can't swim, borrowed a yellow board-like device that allows you to see underwater while snorkeling and had a great time. While the staff entertained my daughter, I was able to enjoy snorkeling as well. The grandparents in their 60s, who were worried about the cold water and swimming, were happy to relax on the boat with a cup of coffee.
I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you to all the staff!

I participated with my 76-year-old mother, and we enjoyed activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters.
When we joined, the water level was about knee-deep, but I think we were able to fully experience the atmosphere of the sandbar.
76歳の母と参加しましたが、
浅瀬でシュノーケリングやSUPなど楽しめました。
参加した時は海の高さは膝下ほどでしたが
サンドバーの雰囲気を充分体感できたと思います。

There were staff members who could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease to participate. It was the rainy season, so it rained on and off, but I had a great time. I didn't see any honu while snorkeling, but since we had some free time left, they took us by boat to a place where we could see honu, and I was able to see them! It was so much fun.
日本語が話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃり、安心して参加をすることが出来ました。
雨季だったので雨が降ったり止んだりでしたがとても楽しめました。
シュノーケリングではホヌが見られなかったのですが、自由時間が余ったため、船でホヌが見られる場所に連れて行っていただき見ることが出来ました!
とても楽しかったです。

Last year, I went to a sandbar on another tour, but this one was better. The weather was nice, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The rice balls were surprisingly delicious. I plan to recommend it to my friends.
去年、他のツアーでサンドバーに行きましたが、今回の方が良かったです。
天気も良くウミガメがすぐそばで見れました。

I wasn't sure what to expect but it was such a great time. Captain Z is awesome, Casey was knowledgeable and Jaime was a lot of fun to talk to. We were able to see turtles when snorkelling thanks to them telling us where to look. The water activities were fun and I got to Stand Up Paddleboard for a decent amount of time. We were supplied with plenty of snacks and drinks (hot and cold). Overall it was amazing and I would highly recommend.
Aloha, thank you very much for joining our tour and letting us know that you had a great experience with us. Marine life including turtles in Kaneohe Bay are very special for us. We are delighted that you spotted some of them while snorkeling! Thank you so much for giving us a five-stars, we hope to welcome you back aboard soon. A hui hou

Snorkeling with Mickey was so much fun! It was good to see that he was enjoying it as much as we were, even though it’s something he’s done many times. He really knows how to make you feel at ease while in the water, even for first time or lesser experienced swimmers. The activity itself was very cool. We got to see some interesting animals at the ocean floor, such as sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and even some fish. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of signing up for it, and for such a reasonable price too. Surprisingly the photo’s actually turned out quite well too.

The basics were very helpful, however, the limitations with life vests and the lack of actual sea life made it a little less of a good experience. Overall it was received well by the family and was fun enough.

We participated with two friends and two 3-year-olds, making a total of six people.
It was a fun cruise accompanied by cheerful music. Depending on the day, it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand. We were able to see many dolphins, and both adults and children were very excited.
Although it was my first time participating in dolphin watching and snorkeling, my friends, who have been multiple times, said it was a relatively relaxed tour and snorkeling experience. My 3-year-old daughter seemed to enjoy floating while being held and was happily watching the underwater world with the snorkeling mask we brought.
When we participated, it seemed there were no Japanese speakers, but we were treated kindly, which made us feel at ease.
友人夫婦と3歳児2人、合わせて6人で参加しました。
陽気な音楽ともに楽しいクルージングでした。
日によるかもしれませんが、乗り物酔いに弱い方は酔い止めを飲んで参加した方が良いかもしれません。
イルカも沢山見ることが出来き、大人も子供達も大興奮でした。
投稿者はドルフィンウォッチングやシュノーケリングは初参加でしたが、複数回経験のある友人夫婦は比較的のんびりとしたツアーやシュノーケリングだと言っていました。
3歳の娘も抱えられながら気持ちよさそうに浮いたり、持参した水中箱メガネで楽しそうに海中を眺めていました。
私達が参加した時は日本語を話せる方はみえなかったようですが、親切に接して頂けたので安心しました。

I'm not sure if it was the timing, but it wasn't as shallow as it looked in the photos; however, it was a beautiful sandbar. It was the first time for my whole family to go snorkeling, but thanks to the guide's clear explanations in Japanese and their company while diving, we were able to see many turtles and fish, creating wonderful memories. I definitely want to participate again next time.
時期的に違うのかわかりませんが、写真で見ていたほどの浅瀬ではありませんでしたが、きれいなサンドバーでした。
家族全員が初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、添乗員のわかりやすい日本語の説明や一緒に潜って頂き、沢山の亀や魚を見れ最高の思い出を作れました。
また、次回も是非参加したいです。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour. The sandbar's tide varies daily from 0 centimeters to about 1 meter, depending on the time, but we have designed the tour to ensure everyone can enjoy it regardless of the tide height. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful sandbar and your first snorkeling experience. The sandbar shows various expressions depending on the season and time of day, so we hope you will come again! We look forward to seeing you. Mahalo!

I was taken care of during the Honolulu Marathon in December. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so safety measures were well in place. My wife said it was cold when she came out of the ocean. As an older man, I didn't feel that at all, but it might be good to have a larger bath towel and a hoodie, especially for women. I had a wonderful time swimming with sea turtles!
