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!
サンドバーに着くまでに注意事項を聞きました。
キャプテンは完全に英語のみでしたが、女性スタッフが日本語で説明しなおしてくださり、とても安心して体験出来ました
着いたらサップや浮き輪で楽しみ、ドリンクや軽食(スパム1人1つとスナック)はご自由にという感じでした!
シュノーケルではできない人が浮き輪に捕まり、スタッフがひっぱって魚が見えるポイントや海ガメのところまで連れて行ってくださって、とてもいい体験ができました!!
おかげさまで海ガメと泳ぐことが出来ました
本当に楽しかったです!
ありがとうございました!

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. The staff was kind and friendly, and the activities they had prepared were great. The food was mostly snacks, and while there were spam musubi, I wished there were more filling options. Ultimately, it really depends on the weather! I was disappointed with the rain. It was far from the white sandy beaches and blue skies I had imagined. I will definitely seek revenge someday!
ハワイに旅行して、初めて雨に遭いました。
よりによって、サンドバーに行く日に遭うとは。
あと、潮位が高いと砂州は現れませんので要注意です。
スタッフは親切でフレンドリー、用意してあったアクティビティも良かったです。
食べ物はスナック中心で、スパムむすびがありましたが他にもお腹が膨れるものがあればいいなと思いました。
何はともあれホント天気次第!雨が恨めしかったです。
イメージしていた白い砂浜、青い空とは程遠いものでした。
いつかリベンジします!

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.
サンドバーは以前は違うツアーで行って、今回が2度目でした。潮の満ち引きを調べて午前のツアーにしましたが、やはり思ってたような浅瀬ではなく腰より高い水位だったので、タイミングは難しいです。
日本人の女性スタッフが丁寧に通訳してくれて、説明事項が詳しく理解できて助かりました。
また、シュノーケルも泳げない人を浮き輪で連れて行ってくれたのでお魚を見ることができ嬉しかったです。
温かい飲み物やおにぎりも用意してくれていて嬉しかったです。

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!
ドリンクは炭酸やジュース、あったかい飲み物もありました。海から上がった後に、あったかいココアが飲んであたたまりました!
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you very much for participating in the tour this time.
I sincerely apologize for the light rain and the less-than-ideal sea conditions on the day of the tour. Still, I truly appreciate that you enjoyed the "dreamy sandbar." It seems you were able to see the honu as well.
The way you recommended using the rash guard is great. Since it's a tour in the ocean, regardless of the season, you may feel cold after getting out of the water. We recommend bringing a long-sleeved jacket (like a hoodie) when you participate. I'm glad to hear that the food and drinks were to your liking.
Please do come back to play in Paradise of the Sea again. We are looking forward to that day with the sea turtles from the bottom of our hearts.

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!
年末最終日に、8才から60代後半までの三世代で参加。船長さん、スタッフさんの素晴らしいホスピタリティで大満足でした。
泳げない娘は、シュノーケリング中、海の中がのぞける黄色いボードのような道具を借りて楽しむことに。スタッフさんが娘の相手をしてくれている間、私もシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。水が冷たく、泳ぎが不安だった60代の祖父母は、船上でコーヒーを飲みながらのんびり過ごせてよかったそうです。
またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました。

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.

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.

We participated as a family with a 12-year-old and a 6-year-old. The transportation was provided by a small bus with a Japanese-speaking driver to our hotel. It took about 30 minutes to the port, and then we arrived at the destination in about 15 minutes by a small ferry. The captain was very kind, stopping when we spotted sea turtles or when a guest's hat fell into the sea.
I had imagined the location to be a sandy beach, but it was a shallow area about 100 cm deep, so the 6-year-old needed a float. For water activities, there were floats, a small boat with windows to observe the seabed, and paddleboards. After playing for about an hour, those who wanted to went snorkeling.
Snorkeling is generally recommended for those who can swim on their own, but you can also hold onto the instructor's board for assistance. The instructions were provided on the boat with Japanese interpretation. Since putting on the mask can be a bit tricky, it might be smoother if you research it in advance. The 12-year-old accidentally swallowed some seawater and felt a bit sick later.
Under the sea, we could clearly see fish, corals, and sea turtles. Onboard, snacks, canned drinks, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were freely available. Bringing your own food was also allowed. After playing in the sea, it can get a bit chilly, so it's advisable to bring a bath towel or a jacket. Don't forget to bring tips as well.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
12歳、6歳の子供を含む家族で参加しました。 送迎はホテルまで小さなバスで日本語堪能な方がしてくださいました。
港まで30分ほど、港から小型フェリーで現地まで15分ほどで現地到着でした。 船長は海面にウミガメが見えるときや、お客の帽子が海に落下した時に止まってくださったり大変親切な方でした。
現地は砂浜をイメージしていたのですが、100cmほどの深さの浅瀬で6歳の子は浮き輪が必要でした。
海遊びは浮き輪、海底が観察できる窓つきの小さなボート、パドルボードがあります。1時間ほど遊んだ後、希望者はシュノーケリングに行きました。
シュノーケリングは基本的に自身で泳げる方が推奨ですが、インストラクターのボードにつかまってつれてっていただくこともできます。
説明は船上で日本語通訳付きでしてくださいます。マスクの付け方がちょっと難しいので事前に調べておいた方がスムーズかもしれません。12歳の子は海水をちょっと飲んでしまい、後で気持ち悪くなっていました。
海の中は魚たち、サンゴ、ウミガメがばっちり見えましたよ。
船内はスナック、缶ジュース、コーヒー、紅茶、ホットチョコレートなど自由にいただけます。持ちこみも可です。
海で遊んだ後は少々寒いので、バスタオルや上着は持っていった方が良いでしょう。
チップも忘れずに持っていきましょう。
全体にすばらしい体験でした。
Aloha! Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour with your family the other day. I sincerely apologize that the sandbar did not have a strong low tide and that your child drank some seawater. Nevertheless, I truly appreciate your kind words about the wonderful experience. We would be delighted if you could visit the sandbar again, which shows various beautiful expressions. We look forward to that day with all our hearts. A Hui Hou!

それでも素晴らしい体験をおっしゃって頂きましたこと心より感謝しております。

The driver who picked us up introduced us to the shops along the way, so we arrived at our destination in no time. The staff at Captain Bruce's were very kind and cheerful, and they provided support in Japanese. They explained all the dangerous parts of the marine activities in Japanese, which made us feel safe while having fun. There was also a staff member who explained things in a charming Kansai dialect, which was delightful. We were able to swim with turtles, and the view of the mountains from the sea was incredibly beautiful. It was a precious sight.
On the boat, there were hot drinks, canned juices, snacks, fruits, and spam rice balls. The rice balls and Swissmiss after swimming were very delicious. There are no changing rooms, so getting into the air-conditioned shuttle with wet swimsuits can be quite chilly. It was necessary to bring a few larger towels to use as blankets. It was that cold. It's better not to bring valuables, but since tips are not included, it was necessary to prepare cash for the tip boxes on the boat and in the shuttle.
送迎のドライバーさんは、道沿いにあるお店の紹介をしながら運転してくれるので、現地にはあっという間に着きました。キャプテンブルースの方々はとても親切で明るく、日本語のサポートもあり、マリンアクティビティの危険な所も全て日本語で説明してくれたので、安心して遊ぶことができました。謎に関西弁で説明するスタッフさんがいて癒されました。カメと泳ぐことも出来、海から見る山々がとても綺麗でした。貴重な景色です。
船内ではホットドリンクや缶ジュース、スナック・フルーツ・スパムおにぎりがあり、泳いだ後のおにぎりとSwissmissはとても美味しかったです。更衣室がないので、濡れたままの水着でエアコンの効いた送迎車に乗るのは体が冷えます。大きめタオルを何枚か持って行ってブランケット代わりにする必要がありました。そのくらい寒いです。貴重品は持参しない方が良いですが、チップが含まれていないので、船内にあるチップボックスと、送迎車内にあるチップボックスに入れるお札は準備が必要でした。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour.

The weather was disappointing. The staff was kind, but it was a bit unsettling to be on the bus for nearly 30 minutes without any staff who understood Japanese. Lastly, the request for a $20 tip seems a bit high. With the yen's depreciation, the tour fees are already high, making it tough.
天気がいまいちで残念だった。スタッフは親切だったが送迎に関しては日本語がわかる
スタッフがいなく無言のまま30分近くバスに乗せられたのは少し不安だった。
最後にチップを20ドルの要求は少し高いような気がする。円安でツアー料が高くなっているにので
厳しい。

When it's a bit chilly, it can be quite tough... Even in a tropical climate, if it's cloudy or drizzling, the water feels cold. I had to drink coffee while shivering after getting out of the sea. However, the guides were truly wonderful with their thoughtfulness and care; we received free spam onigiri, apples, drinks, and juice—all complimentary. During snorkeling, there were plenty of sea turtles right in front of us, making for a special experience. I definitely recommend going! The weather is just a matter of luck, so there's nothing you can do about it.
まず肌寒い時は基本そうですがなかなか地獄を見ます…
常夏といえど曇りや小雨気味だと普通に水は冷たく感じます。
海から上がった時震えながらコーヒーを飲みました。
しかしガイドさんは皆さん本当に気遣いや心配りが素晴らしく、無料のスパムおにぎりやりんご、飲み物やお水ジュースなど全て無料で頂けました。
シュノーケリングでは目の前に海亀も沢山いて気軽に特別な体験ができます。
是非行ってみてください。
天候はただの運なので、仕方ないです。

On the day of the event, it was nearly full, and there were many tourists with us. We took a bus to the port and boarded the boat, but it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there, and the explanations were mostly in English. Since we didn't understand English, we could only guess what they were saying based on the atmosphere. I was a bit anxious, but somehow it turned out okay (laughs). During snorkeling, we were able to see quite a few sea turtles, and I was really happy to see a sea turtle come up to the surface right next to us. The other activities were also quite enjoyable. On the way back, since we wanted to go somewhere other than the hotel, we were kindly accommodated with our request to disband at a different location, which we appreciated.
参加当日は満席に近い状態で沢山の観光客の方が一緒でした。
港までバスで移動し、船に乗り込んだのですが、日本人の方は私たちくらいのようでほとんど日本語はなく英語での説明だったので、英語がわからない自分たちは雰囲気でこう言ってるのかな?としかわかりませんでした。
少し不安もありましたが、何とか!?大丈夫でした(笑)
シュノーケリングの際は結構、ウミガメを見れたし、しかも海面まであがってくるウミガメを真横で見れたのですごく嬉しかったです。
他のアクティビティもそれなりに楽しかったです。
帰りはホテルではなく、他の場所に行きたかったので現地で解散させていただいたりとこちらの要望に親切に対応して頂いたの有り難かったです。

It seems that on the day you joined us, there were fewer guests from Japan, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. However, I am relieved to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I am truly happy to know that you were able to see the sea turtles.
When you come back to Hawaii, please visit this sandbar again to meet the sea turtles. We look forward to that day with all our hearts.

First of all, all the participants were Japanese! After heading out to sea from the port by boat, you can go snorkeling from the sandbar. While snorkeling, you can swim with many fish while viewing coral. It's a matter of luck, but a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, and I was able to swim with it! I highly recommend it!
まず、参加者は全員日本人でした!
ボートで港から沖に出たあと、サンドバーから出てシュノーケリングができます
シュノーケリングではサンゴを見ながらたくさんの魚と泳げます
これは運が絡むところですが、目の前にウミガメが現れて一緒に泳げました!
オススメです!

Our experience with Captain Robin, Kay, and Sydney was absolutely amazing! Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise is a must! My husband and I loved everything about the experience…friendly, knowledgeable, hands on staff who truly gave each of the participants support and care. This was my first time to snorkel and Captain Robin stayed by my side until I was ready to snorkel without any assistance. There was time to paddle-board and float. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations.
