All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

I didn't encounter any dolphins, but there's a guarantee, so it's good.

イルカには遭遇しなかつたけどギャランティが有るのでGOOD

On the left side, just past the Polynesian Cultural Center, there is a sprawling ranch. It feels more like Arizona than Hawaii, with mostly white people around. There happened to be families with small children gathered there since school was out, but most were just doing short horseback riding experiences. We set off under the guidance of Amanda, who moved here from New York about a year and a half ago. The exhilaration of galloping through the hills and forests is something hard to experience in Japan. I quit the Crane Riding Club out of frustration and have been riding at the Aso Dream Land Club for about three years, but that place has a lot of hills. Here, the flat terrain makes for the best galloping. Our 30-minute private lunch included a gigantic sandwich, juice, water, a mountain of fruit, and a box of macadamia chocolates, which was way too much to finish. I took the chocolates as a souvenir. I was a bit worried about not speaking English. If you're a beginner, they won't let you ride on a course that includes galloping. It's self-reported, but you'll need to sign a waiver, so you're responsible in case of an accident.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターを過ぎてまもなくの左側に牧場の敷地が広がっている。白人ばかりで、ハワイというよりアリゾナあたりの感じ。たまたま学校が休みで小さな子供連れの家族が群れていたが、ほとんどは短い体験乗馬。NYから1.5年前にやってきたAmandaの案内でいざ出発。丘陵を林を思いっきり駆け抜ける爽快さは日本では味わいにくい。クレイン乗馬クラブを欲求不満でやめ、阿蘇夢大地のクラブで3年ほど乗っているが、あそこは坂が多い。当地は敷地が平坦ゆえ駈足が最高。30分の僕らだけのランチには、特大のサンドイッチ、ジュース、水、山盛りフルーツ、マカデミアチョコ1箱がついていて、到底食べきれない。チョコはおみやげにもらいました。英語ができないとちょっと心配。乗馬未経験者なら駈足なしのコースじゃないと受けてくれません。自己申告だけど免責書類にサインしますから、事故があっても自己責任ね。

Fun staff

It was a memorable sea-kayaking trip. Just be aware of one small detail: the bathroom/restroom facility is suitable only for temporary bath & cloth change. Very much likely you have to come back for a real full bath at your hotel. Aside from this, every else (which counts towards 99% of the trip) is great !!

We attended this tour with our 3 children. Our driver was Garfield and he was the most informative driver we experienced on our whole trip...he gave us a running commentary on everything we were passing on our way to Pearl Harbour and he had a great sense of humour. He was so punctual with time and always ensured everyone knew what was going on all the time. I would rate this tour as the best one we went on while in Hawaii, I can't speak more highly of it. Our 9 year old left the day completely educated and informed about Pearl Habour. It was also great to go onboard the USS Missouri and see what life was like at sea and understand where the signing for the end of the war occurred. Overall we were extremely pleased with the tour.

This was my sixth trip to Hawaii, and I finally visited the sandbar I had always dreamed of.

On the way there, the guide's stories (in English) were interesting, so I wasn't bored on the bus, and the boat ride was fun too. We participated as a family, and my 4-year-old son was quite active, which caused some trouble for the staff and other participants, but everyone was very kind to us. I am grateful for that.

The only downside was that the weather wasn't great. It was a bit rainy and cold, and the tide was high, so I couldn't fully enjoy the charm of the sandbar. Since it's a natural activity, it is definitely affected by the weather... On the way back, we even saw sea turtles from the boat. The tour itself had delicious lunch, and I was very satisfied.

I hope to participate again when the weather is nice.

ハワイ６回目にして、初めてあこがれのサンドバーに行きました。

向かう途中のバスの中でも（英語でしたが）ガイドさんの話が面白くて退屈しませんでしたし、船も楽しかったです。
ファミリーでの参加、しかも４歳の息子が一緒で、全然大人しくしていなかったので、スタッフの方やほかの参加者の方々に大変ご迷惑をおかけしましたが、皆さんにとても良くしていただきました。
感謝しています。

残念だったのは天気がいまいちだったことです。
雨がぱらついて寒かったり、潮が満ち気味だったりで、サンドバーの魅力を堪能することができませんでした。やはり自然のアクティビティなので、どうしても天候に左右されてしまいますよね…
帰りがけに、船の上からもウミガメが見れました。
ツアー自体はランチも美味しかったし、大変満足です。

今度は天気のいい時に、また参加できたらいいなあと思います。

this place was great,,,everyone should see this

I think the difference lies in where companies can stand out since what you can see is the same across the board.

The good things were that they arrived almost on time, the service was good, and the explanations on the boat were well done.

What was disappointing was that the talks weren't very entertaining, and the biggest letdown was that I couldn't see any fish while snorkeling. It might have been unavoidable due to the large number of participants.

However, to come back without seeing a single fish was really disappointing. The sandbar was beautiful, and they actively took photos, which was nice, but I wanted to see the fish. It was very disappointing that they didn't guide us to the spots where we could actually see them and just proceeded mechanically.

見れるものはどの会社でも同じだからどこで差をつけるかだと思います。
よかったことは、ほぼ時間通りに迎えがきたこと、対応はよかったこと、船での説明がよかったこと。
残念だったのは、あまりトークが面白くなかったこと、一番大きかったのはスノーケルで魚が全然見えなかったこと。参加人数が多かったので仕方のないことだったかもしれません。
しかし、魚一匹も見れずに、帰ってきてくださーいって。。非常に残念です。
サンドバーは綺麗だったし、写真も積極的に撮ってくれたりしてよかったですが、お魚さんみたかったのに、ちゃんと見えるポイントも案内せず、事を機械的にすすめていたことが非常に残念でした。

It had been years since I played at the beach, so I was initially anxious, but thanks to our guides Mark and Yasu, I had a wonderful experience (even though I got really sunburned…). Thank you!

After arriving in Kailua, I felt like we wasted over an hour waiting for the kayak after the briefing. There wasn't enough time to visit Kailua Town, and since we had to meet at 11:30 but the pizza place opened at 11, I had to settle for a mediocre loco moco... (After kayaking, we changed and left right away, so there was no time for lunch.)

However, the content, scenery, and staff were all excellent, so next time I want to choose a course where we can take our time. Mark mentioned he would email photos to those who wanted them, so I'm looking forward to that.

海で遊ぶのは何年ぶり（？）だったので初めは不安でしたが、ガイドのマーク、ヤスさんのおかげで楽しい体験ができました。(ものすごく焼けましたが…)ありがとう！
カイルア到着後、説明を受けてからカヤックに乗るまでの間が１時間以上あって時間がもったいない気がしました。カイルアタウンに行くには時間が足りないし、１１時半集合なのにピザ屋さんは１１時OPENのためあきらめていまいちなロコモコを食べざるを得なかったり…（カヤックに乗った後は着替えてすぐ出発だったのでお昼を食べる時間はありません。）
でも内容、景色、スタッフは最高なので、次回はもっとゆっくりできるコースを選びたいと思います。
希望者にはマークさんが写真をメールで送ってくれるといっていたので楽しみに待っています。

I had been to Kailua before, but I chose this tour because I wanted to try sea kayaking.

First, there was someone who was late for the pickup time (they were a foreigner...), so we seemed to arrive a bit late and started in quite a rush. (There was no time even to go to the restroom...)

This tour seems to be affected by the wind on the day, but fortunately, it wasn't too windy, and it took about 25 minutes to reach the island 1 kilometer away. (According to the instructor, it was a great performance.) I don't have great athletic skills, so I was a bit anxious, but surprisingly, I was okay.

Paddling together was fun, and it ended so quickly that I wished we could have paddled a bit more. The weather was nice, and we could even see Molokai Island.

During the free time after lunch, I borrowed a bodyboard and headed to the beach. I heard from the instructor that Kailua is beautiful in the afternoon, and the sea was truly a stunning blue.

I highly recommend it.

カイルアは行ったことがあったのですが、シーカヤックに
挑戦してみたくて選んだツアーでした。

まず、ピックアップ時間に遅刻する方(外国の方でしたが…）がいたため、
ちょっと遅れて到着したようで、かなりせかされる感じで慌ただしくスタート。
（トイレ行く間もなく…）

このツアーは、その日の風によって左右されるようですが、
幸いそれほど強風でなく、1キロ先の島まで25分ほどでした。
（インストラクターさんいわく、上出来らしいです。）
私は運動神経は良い方ではないので、ちょっと不安だったんですが、意外と大丈夫でした。

二人でこぐのも楽しくて、もう少し漕ぎたかったなあ~と
いうくらい、あっという間に終わりました。
天気も良かったので、モロカイ島も見えたり。

ランチ後のフリータイムでは、ボディボードを借りて海辺へ。
カイルアは午後からが美しいと、インストラクターさんに
聞いたのですが、本当に真っ青な海がきれいでした。

おすすめです。

I signed up for the early morning plan. I was finally able to go to the sandbar that I had always wanted to visit with my husband and my 2-year-old daughter. The weather in Waikiki during pickup was sunny! I thought this was going to be the best tour, but as we headed towards Kaneohe, thick clouds quickly covered the sky. My mood dropped, but our energetic guide Yukiko cheered me up, reminding me that such days happen. We boarded the boat and set off on the cruise. We took photos with Chinaman's Hat and the Ko'olau Mountains in the background, and we were able to spot many sea turtles at the turtle spot. Just as Yukiko announced, "We're almost at the sandbar!" I suddenly noticed that the thick clouds had disappeared, and it was completely sunny with the sparkling sandbar in sight. I was so excited that I was jumping around more than my child (laughs).

Since it was close to low tide, the water was only about ankle-deep, which was perfect for my child to splash around and play. We were able to spend an unforgettable time as a family. The local staff were friendly and great, and even though it was a 2-hour cruise, it was very fulfilling. We returned to Waikiki in time for my daughter's nap, so I think this plan is highly recommended for families with small children! I wasn't able to take good photos when it was sunny, so I plan to join again next time I go to Hawaii for a little revenge (laughs)!

早朝プランに申し込みました。2歳の娘と主人と3人でずっと行きたかった念願のサンドバーに行くことができました。
ピックアップしていただいたワイキキは晴天！これは最高のツアーになるな、と思っていたのもつかの-間バスでカネオヘに向かう山に入る間にみるみる厚い雲に覆われていきました。すっかり気分は落ち込んだのですが、元気印のようなガイドのユキコさんから元気をもらってそんな日もあるかと気を取り直してボートに乗り込みいざクルーズへ。チャイナマンズハットやコオラウ山脈をバックに写真撮影をしてもらい、ウミガメスポットでたくさんのウミガメを発見できました。もうすぐサンドバーでーす！のユキコさんの案内でふと見ると厚い雲はどこへやら、すっかり晴天になりキラキラ輝くサンドバーがあるではありませんか。感激して子供以上にはしゃいでしまいました（笑)
干潮に近い時間だったので水深も足首くらいだったのでちょうど子供がぱしゃぱしゃ遊ぶことができ、家族で忘れられない時間を過ごすことができました。
ローカルのスタッフもフレンドリーでいい感じで、2時間のクルーズでしたがとっても充実していました。お昼にはワイキキに戻れるので娘のお昼寝にも間に合ったし小さい子供連れにもおすすめできるプランだと思います！
晴れているときの写真がうまく撮れなかったのでリベンジもかねて（笑)また次ハワイに行く時も絶対参加します！！

I love snorkeling. The scenery is beautiful, so I recommend going at least once.

シュノーケル大好きです。景色が綺麗なので、1度は行ってみることお勧めです。

I chose to participate on the day with the lowest tide during my stay. The timing was close to low tide for this tour, so I joined. On this day, there were two buses filled with only Japanese participants. However, the staff handled everything efficiently, so the movement was smooth.

After everyone saw the honu (sea turtles), we headed to the sandbar. The wind was strong, and the water was cold!! Everyone was shivering. But I was so happy to see the sandbar, which I had been looking forward to the most since before the trip.

It was my first experience with snorkeling, but the staff's explanations were easy to understand, so I could see well underwater! However, I realized that you can't snorkel if you can't swim... Still, I was satisfied to have experienced it a little.

After getting back on the boat, I enjoyed the sandwiches and tea that were prepared. Since I was cold, the food was a welcome treat!

On the day I participated, most of the attendees were couples, but there were also families and groups of friends who seemed to be having a great time.

　滞在中でいちばん干潮になる日を選んで参加しました。時間帯が、こちらのツアーが干潮時に近かったので参加しました。　この日は日本人だけでバス2台でした。でもスタッフの方が手際よく対応されていたので移動などはスムーズでした。
　みんなでホヌ（ウミガメ）を見たあとはサンドバーへ。風が強く、海の中は寒かった！！みんな震えてました。でも旅行前から一番楽しみにしていたサンドバーが見れてうれしかったです。
　私はシュノーケル初体験でしたが、スタッフの方の説明がわかりやすかったので、ちゃんと海の中が見えました！でも泳げないとシュノーケルってできないんですね…。それでも少し体験できて満足です。
船にあがった後は、準備されているサンドイッチと紅茶をいただきました。身体が冷えていたので、食べ物うれしい！
　私が参加した日は参加者はほぼカップルでしたが、家族連れの方や友達同士で参加の方も楽しそうでした★

We left the hotel at 5:40 AM on the day of our return flight, which was tough, but I was thrilled to see many dolphins and sea turtles up close in the beautiful ocean, which lifted my spirits. I took motion sickness pills, so I didn't feel nauseous at all. However, there was someone who felt sick and ended up vomiting. On the bus, they were selling bracelets that stimulate pressure points to prevent motion sickness for about $20 each. They kindly emailed us two group photos as a complimentary service, and other photos were available for purchase on DVD for an additional fee.

The seawater was cold, and when it was cloudy, the wind was chilly, so it's better to rent a wetsuit. They also lend out blankets, but there are only a few, so it's a good idea to bring a larger towel for warmth.

All the staff were bright, cheerful, and kind. Besides the male hula dance and singing, I was able to do hula dancing myself, which was satisfying. For lunch, we had a cheeseburger, a slice of pineapple, and taro chips, along with some tea. The taro chips were unique and interesting. It would be nice if they offered a vegetarian burger like other companies do.

There is a restroom on the boat, but it would be even better if there were a shower as well. We arrived at the hotel just before 1 PM, and since check-out was at 12 PM, I had to change and wipe down in the hotel restroom without being able to shower before returning to Japan. Due to scheduling, I could only book this tour on the last day, so it couldn't be helped. However, I was very satisfied to encounter a large pod of dolphins and swim close to them. I've participated in dolphin watching cruises in the Maldives, but now just seeing them from the boat isn't enough for me (laughs). I want to go to Hawaii again and swim with the dolphins! 😊

早朝5時40分ホテル出発で、帰国日に予約したのでハードでしたが、綺麗な海で沢山のイルカとウミガメを近くで見られて感激し、元気になりました。
酔い止めを飲んでたので、全然酔いませんでした。
気持ち悪くなり吐いてしまった人がいました。
バスの中で、たしか1本20ドルで酔わなくなるツボを刺激するブレスレットを販売してました。集合写真を2枚サービスでメールで送信してくれて、その他の写真はDVDで別料金で販売してました。
海水は冷たく、曇ってると風が冷たいので、ウェットスーツは借りた方が良いです。毛布も貸してくれますが数が少ないので、防寒用に大きめのタオル等も持っていくと良いですね。

スタッフさんは全員明るく陽気で親切でした。
男性フラのダンスと歌の他に自分でフラダンスも出来たし、満足です。
ランチは、チーズバーガーとパイナップル1切れとタロイモチップスで、お茶もくれました。タロイモチップスは珍しいので面白かったです。他社のように、ベジタリアン用のハンバーガーもあると良いな。
トイレは船についてるけど、シャワーも付いてれば尚良いですね。ホテルに着いたのが13時ちょっと前で、ホテルのチェックアウトが12時だったので、シャワーを浴びれないままホテルのトイレで着替えて体を拭いて、日本に帰国しました。。
日程の都合で、最終日のこのツアーしか申し込めなかったので、仕方ないんですけどね。
だけど、すぐにイルカの沢山の群れと遭遇して、近くで泳ぐことが出来て、大満足でした。
モルディブでイルカウォッチングクルーズは参加したことありますが、もう船の上から見るだけじゃ満足できなくなりました(笑)
またハワイに行って、イルカと泳ぎたいです＾＾

From March 17 to March 21, I went to Hawaii with my family. We booked a tour to swim with dolphins as the main event!

Even though the weather wasn't very good on the day, we were able to swim with the dolphins (they weren't exactly within arm's reach, though...) and we got to see rays up close. Most importantly, the photographer was very dedicated and tried his best to take us close to the dolphins, which we really appreciated.

On top of that, even though I mistakenly mixed up the dates due to the time difference between Japan and the local time and showed up a day late, they kindly allowed me to participate. It was truly a great tour!

　　　
　3/17~3/21まで家族でHAWAIIに行きました。
　メインイベントとしてイルカと泳ぐツア−を予約！

　当日お天気はあまり良くなかったのに、しっかりイルカと
　泳げたし（手の届くほど近くといいうワケではなかったけ　　れど…）エイも近くで見れたし、何よりカメラマンさんが
　一生縣命イルカの側に連れて行ってくれようとしてくれて
　有難かったです。

　おまけに、日本時間と現地時間を間違えて参加日を一日間違　えてたにも関わらず、快く参加させてもらえ
　ほんと　良いツア−でした！

　　

　

Thanks to the very friendly staff, I was able to enjoy myself despite the unfortunate weather.

However, it was a bit disappointing as it was somewhat different from the image of a sandy beach. It is quite affected by the weather and the tides, so I might need to try a few times.

If I have the chance again, I would like to go back.

とても楽しいスタッフさんのおかげで、あいにくの天気でしたが、なんとか楽しむことができました。

ただ、サンドビーチのイメージとはちょっと違っていたのが残念でした。
天候と海の満ち引きの時間にかなり影響されるので、何度かチャレンジしないとかもしれません。

また機会があれば、行きたいです。

My daughter wanted to go snorkeling on her graduation trip with five friends, so we signed up. After returning home, her feedback was that everything was fantastic. The activities at the sandbar, the time management, and the meals were all plentiful and delicious. The captain who cooked for us was also a wonderful person, and the staff seemed very kind. They even got to see sea turtles, which was truly moving! Overall, we were extremely satisfied, and we would love to participate again the next time we visit Hawaii.

娘が友達5人での卒業旅行でシュノーケリングがしたいというので申し込みしました。帰国後の感想は、すべてに於いて最高のようでした。サンドバーでのアクティビティ、時間配分、食事もボリュウム満点でとても美味しく、調理してくれたキャプテンも素敵な方・・スタッフも親切だったようです。ウミガメにも本当に会えて感動！とにかく大満足で次回渡ハするときはまた参加したいですね。

Great trip. Enjoyed the catamaran trip to the sandbar followed by snorkeling and volleyball in the water; the burgers were great and snorkeling later with the turtles and fish was awesome! Highly recommended for anyone!

Upon arriving at the shop with lockers, we received an explanation and headed to Kailua Beach. After that, we had lunch and kayaking, so we only had about an hour to play at the beach. Kailua Beach is very beautiful, and the breeze felt nice.

As for kayaking, to be honest, it was tough for me as someone who is not athletic and has a bit of a flabby body, but I somehow managed to reach the uninhabited island in last place. This led to a bit of a quarrel between us, which brought down the mood, but we were encouraged by the instructor's energetic and reliable presence, and we ended up having a great time. On the uninhabited island, the instructor shared stories about birds and mythology, which was enjoyable.

For those going with a partner who may not have much stamina, please lead them without getting angry. That's the secret to having fun!

ロッカーのあるショップに到着すると説明をうけてカイルアビーチへ。その後ランチとカヤックがあるので、ビーチで遊べるのは実質1時間くらいでした。
カイルアビーチはとってもきれいで、風がきもちよかったです。
さてカヤックですが、運動音痴でブヨブヨバディの私には正直しんどかったですが、最下位でなんとか無人島に到着。そのことで夫婦喧嘩になりテンションがさがってしまったのですが、インストラクターの元気で頼りがいのある逞しい姿に後押しされ楽しく過ごせました。無人島ではインストラクターの方が鳥や神話の話をしてくれて楽しかったです。
体力のないパートナーと行かれる方は、怒らずにリードしてあげて下さいね。それが楽しむ秘訣ですよ。

I participated with my husband and our 4-year-old and 0-year-old children.

I had many worries about bringing a baby, but I was truly moved by the beauty of the ocean. The water was cold, and we returned to the boat once, but since we had come all this way and the sky and sea were so beautiful, I thought it would be a waste to just watch from the boat. So, I held the baby and went into the water, which was waist-deep. However, in the shallows, it was only knee-deep.

I had heard that we couldn't use a stroller, so my husband and I took turns holding the baby. Fortunately, the baby didn't cry, which was a relief.

The BBQ burgers on the boat were delicious. While enjoying the beautiful ocean view, we ate hamburgers and listened to a lot of Hawaiian music, making it a relaxing day.

We couldn't go snorkeling, but we were able to see a turtle popping its head out of the water from the boat.

Since the boat was full, I thought it was a bit cramped for us with all our luggage.

旦那さんと4歳と0歳の子供を連れて参加しました

赤ちゃん連れで心配な事もたくさんありましたが本当に海のキレイさに感動しました。海が冷たくて一度船に戻りましたが、せっかく来たしこんなに空と海がキレイなのに、船からみてるのはもったいないと思い赤ちゃんを抱っこして腰までの深さの海に入りました。でも浅瀬へ行くと膝ぐらいの深さでした

ベビーカーは使えないと聞いてたのでずっと旦那さんと赤ちゃんを交代で抱っこしてました
幸い泣き叫ぶこともなくてよかったです

船上でのBBQバーガーは美味しかったです
キレイな海を眺めながらハンバーガーを食べてたくさんのハワイアンミュージックを歌ってもらいのんびりした一日となりました

シュノーケルはできませんでしたが、船からカメが顔を出してる所を見ることができました

船内は満席だったため荷物の多い私達には少し狭かったかなと思いました

As I saw in the movie, the sandbar where it suddenly becomes shallow was a very mysterious and wonderful place. The clarity of the seawater was indeed high, but it was a bit disappointing that it was cloudy that day. I hope to go on a sunny day next time. However, I was able to see many turtles and fish, and the staff's service was great, so I was very satisfied. I definitely look forward to visiting again!

映画で見たとおり、そこだけ急に浅瀬になっているサンドバーは、とても不思議で素敵な場所でした。
海水の透明度もさすがに高かったのですが、当日は曇り空だったので、それだけはちょっと残念でした。次回は晴れの日に行きたいなと思います。でも、亀もお魚もたくさん見れたし、スタッフの応対も良かったので大満足です。
また、是非宜しくお願いします！！

I wanted to join the recommended plan, but due to scheduling conflicts with other tours, I participated in the early morning plan.

The Japanese guide (a woman) kept the atmosphere lively with jokes and provided clear instructions at the sea turtle viewing points. I was able to see many more sea turtles than I had expected, and I even spotted baby turtles.

After the sea turtle viewing, we moved to the sandbar. The weather was nice, but the seawater was cold... (though it was fine once I got used to it). The scenery was just as beautiful as I had seen in photos!

After that, we went snorkeling, but contrary to my expectations, the visibility wasn't very good, and I felt like I hardly saw any fish. Additionally, the water was quite deep, and the current seemed relatively fast, so I recommend that those who are not experienced with snorkeling definitely use the floatation devices provided by the staff. (As a beginner, I found it tough without one.)

Overall, I think the tour is enjoyable, with all the staff being friendly and cheerful.

おすすめプランに参加したかったのですが、
他のツアーとの時間の兼ね合いで早朝プランへ参加しました。

日本人ガイドの方（女性）がジョークも交えつつ
盛り上げてくれ、ウミガメ観賞ポイントでは
ポイントをきちんと教えてくれました。
予想していた以上にウミガメが沢山見られ、
更には子ガメも発見できました。

ウミガメ観賞後はサンドバーへ移動。
天気は良かったのですが、海水は冷たかった・・・
（慣れてしまえば平気ですが）
写真で見ていたのと同じ風景ですごく綺麗でした！

そのあと、シュノーケリングをしましたが、
こちらは予想に反してあまり透明度が無く、
魚もほとんど見られなかったように感じます。
しかも水深は結構深く、流れも比較的早いように思うので、
シュノーケリングに不慣れな方は、スタッフが貸してくれる浮き棒？を必ず使うことをお勧めします。
（私は初心者だったのでこれがないときつかったです）

全体的にはスタッフの方も全員フレンドリーで明るく、
楽しく過ごせるツアーだと思います。

This activity was a great experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had a safe and fun experience. I would do this activity again! After our trip we were allowed to use either snorkle gear or bicycles until out tour bus picked us up. Staff is very polite and attentive!

It was disappointing that the sandbar wasn't fully exposed since we participated close to high tide. However, the water level was about knee-deep, so we had fun playing volleyball with other participants.

The subsequent turtle watching from the boat and snorkeling at the coral reef were also great. Even without scuba diving, we were able to interact with tropical fish.

満潮に近い時間帯での参加だったのでサンドバーが完全には露出していなかったのが残念です。でも、水位は膝下くらいなので、アクティビティ参加者同士で、バレーボールをして楽しめました。
その後の船上からのウミガメ観賞やサンゴ礁でのシュノーケリングも良かったです。スキューバダイビングをせずとも熱帯魚と戯れることができました。

I wanted to forget the daily hustle and bustle, so I joined the tour alone and relaxed.

As we headed out to the sea by boat, a beautiful sandy beach suddenly appeared, which felt quite magical.

I checked the low tide times in advance, so everything went according to plan! I was able to see the sandbar.

Depending on the time, the sandbar may not be fully visible, so I definitely recommend checking the low tide times before participating.

Several sea turtles showed up, and I was able to take great photos!!

Since I was the only one participating alone, the staff were very attentive, and thanks to them, I had a wonderful time.

日頃の喧騒を忘れたくて
のんびり、ひとりで参加しました。

沖まで船で向うと、きれいな砂浜が突然姿を現す
不思議な感覚でした。

前もって干潮の時間を調べて参加したので、
予定どおり!～ｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰを見ることができました。

時間によってはｻﾝﾄﾞﾊﾞｰが完全に出ないこともあるので、
絶対に干潮の時間を調べて参加することをおすすめします。

海ガメも何匹も姿を見せてくれて、
バッチリ写真が取れました!!

私だけひとり参加だったためか、ｽﾀｯﾌの方がすごく気遣ってくれて、
おかげですごく楽しめました。

There was a strong current flowing sideways from the starting point to the remote island, which made it tough.

出発点から離島まで横に流れがあり、きつかった。

It seems that the weather around the sandbar can be unstable. When I participated, it was sunny and about 28 degrees in Waikiki, but Kaneohe Bay was cloudy with some rain. However, I was able to see the sandbar, so it was still a lot of fun.
Advice for those participating:
It's better to prepare for the cold!!
(Check the weather in Kaneohe Bay on the day, not Waikiki.)
If you have long-sleeved swimwear for surfing, and a jacket and something like sweatpants to wear after getting out of the water, you won't feel cold. (The guide was wearing a windbreaker...)
If the weather is clear, it's the best. The burgers for lunch are delicious!

サンドバーのあたりは、天候が不安定みたいです。
参加した時も、ワイキキは、晴天２８度くらいだったけど、カネオヘ湾は、曇って雨もパラついていました。でも、サンドバーはみれたので、やっぱり楽しかったです。
参加される方へのアドバイス：
寒さ対策あったほうがいいです！！
（ワイキキではなく、当日のカネオヘ湾の天気チェックしてください。）
サーフィン用などの、長袖水着とか、海から上がったあと、上着と、下にはくジャージの様な物もあれば、寒くないです。（ガイドさんは、ウインドブレーカーきてました・・）　
天気晴れたら、最高です。お昼のバーガーおいしいです~！　

I participated in the early morning plan, and although my stay was only about two hours, I was very satisfied. It was a lucky day as the sandbar was completely exposed due to low tide! I also got to see a rainbow and even a sea turtle, which was amazing! If you're going to the beach, I recommend this place over Hanauma Bay! However, there might be fewer types of fish for snorkeling. The staff were also very friendly, making it fun and taking photos for us.

早朝プランに参加させていただき、滞在時間は2時間ほどですがとても満足できました。
参加当日は引き潮で完全にサンドバーが現れているラッキーな日でした！
虹も見れて、ウミガメもちょっとだけど見れて最高！！
海に行くならハナウマ湾よりこっちがオススメです！ただ、
シュノーケルの魚は種類が少ないかも…。
スタッフの皆さんも楽しく盛り上げてくれたり、写真撮ってくれたりとても親切でした。

I imagined a ranch like a grassland, but it turned out to be a wilder course with a bit of a mountain path. At the top, I could see the ocean, making it a fun experience. The horses taken care of by the cowgirls were well-trained, and I felt completely at ease riding them. The duration was just right, and I definitely want to come back.

草原のような牧場をイメージしていましたが、ちょっとした山道を登っていく思ったよりワイルドなコースで、頂上では海も見え、楽しい経験となりました。
カウガールたちの世話している馬たちは、よく調教されていて乗っていて全然不安を感じません。
時間の長さもちょうど良く、ぜひまた来たいと思います。

The weather was unfortunately not great that day, and I was wondering how it would turn out, but by the time we boarded the boat, the rain had stopped. It wasn't perfectly sunny, but the weather was decent!

We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandbar. The Japanese guide was a really cheerful lady. It was a bit windy, so it was slightly cold, but the scenery was beautiful and we had a great time. I was moved to see so many sea turtles. The hamburger lunch with patties grilled on the boat's deck was especially delicious!!!

この日はあいにくの天気でどうなるかと思いましたが船に乗るころには雨もやみ、快晴とまでは行きませんでしたがまずまずの天気でした！

船に乗り込みサンドバーへ到着。
日本人ガイドさんもすごくのりのいいお姉さんで＾＾
少し風が強かったので若干寒かったですがとてもきれいで楽しめました。
ウミガメもたくさん見れて感動しました。
特に船のデッキ、グリルで焼いてくれたパティをはさんだハンバーガーランチはとてもおいしかったです！！！
