All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

We participated as a family of five with children aged 7, 4, and 2. The weather was nice on the day of the event, the sea was calm, and we were able to see sea turtles, making it a very enjoyable experience. The boat was filled only with Japanese participants, and there were also Japanese female staff members, so the children felt comfortable. With around 20 participants, it was easy to interact with nearby families and couples, and at the sandbar, even small children could play leisurely while holding hands with their parents. Only my 7-year-old and I tried snorkeling. There were long floats that allowed us to view the underwater scenery side by side, making it surprisingly easy to see coral reefs and small fish. For lunch, the staff grilled hamburgers on the boat, and we could enjoy our meal while leisurely taking in the scenery. It was a fun tour. For reference, the meeting place was not our accommodation, so I was a bit worried about whether we were in the right spot until the pickup arrived. The bus was shared, and I was concerned that nearly 90% of the passengers were American, wondering if there were no other Japanese participants, but I felt relieved when we met up at the dock. Additionally, my wife mentioned that the staff shared interesting stories on the microphone during the bus ride, but since it was all in English, it was boring if you didn't understand. I thought it would be nice to have books or toys for the children to keep them entertained during the bus ride.

７才、４才、２才の５人家族で参加しました。当日は天候も良く海も荒れず、ウミガメも鑑賞でき大変楽しく参加できました。船も日本人参加者のみで乗船でき日本人の女性スタッフもいましたので子供たちも懐いていました。船も参加人数がごちゃごちゃしない２０人程度でしたので程よく近くの家族連れやカップルと交流ができ、サンドバーでは小さい子供も親と手を繋いでのんびり遊べます。シュノーケリングは７才の子と私だけ挑戦しました。２人で並んで水中を鑑賞できる長い浮きなどもあり案外簡単にサンゴ礁や小魚を鑑賞できました。お昼はスタッフが船上でハンバーガーを焼いてくれて船でのんびりと景色を見ながら食べれます。楽しいツアーでした。参考までに集合場所が私たちは宿泊先ではなかったので少々迎えがくるまでここでいいのか心配でした。バスも乗り合いで米国人が９割近く乗車してて日本人はいないのかと心配になりましたが船着き場で合流できたので安心しました。あとバスの中で妻曰くおもしろい話をスタッフがマイクで話していたそうですが、終始英語なので解らないと退屈です。バスの乗車中、本など子供がひまを紛らわせるおもちゃなどあるといいかなと思いました。

This time, there were only my husband and me on the guided tour. My husband has kayaking experience, but I was a beginner. The guide kindly taught me how to get into the kayak and how to use the paddle. With a spirited "Let's get to it!" we walked for about three minutes with our gear, and in front of us was the beautiful blue ocean of Kailua, welcoming us with a sea turtle! It was so cute popping its head out of the water. However, there was no time to be amazed as I nervously got into the kayak and set off into the open sea. We paddled hard, following the guide towards an uninhabited island about 300-400 meters away. Despite the headwind, as we paddled, another sea turtle swam nearby! In a moment of surprise, we forgot to paddle and exclaimed, "Wow!!!" After a brief moment of excitement, I quickly returned to focus, being careful not to hit the turtle with my paddle, and we paddled for another 20 minutes before safely arriving at the island. The guide explained in detail why this island was formed, the habits of migratory birds, and that it is a protected area. Along the way, we found a pair of migratory birds in a hole and discovered crab shells, all while having a great time walking around the island. After that, we expressed our desire to go snorkeling at Lanikai, and the guide happily agreed, so we got back into the kayak. Paddling from the island to Lanikai Beach was challenging as we had to paddle at a right angle to the waves to avoid being swept onto the sandy beach. Fortunately, we encountered another sea turtle along the way. This time it was a baby turtle, small and adorable! We couldn't believe how lucky we were to see so many turtles as we made our way to "Heavenly Sea." Lanikai has many coral reefs, making it a perfect spot for snorkeling! We enjoyed snorkeling with the guide, greeted by small fish, large fish, and colorful fish, which made all the paddling fatigue disappear. Although I’m not very good at swimming and couldn’t go far, the guide was thrilled, saying, "Look at this big fish (about a meter long)!" After about 15 minutes of snorkeling, we took pictures together and had a blast! The two-hour tour went by in a flash, and we kayaked back to Kailua, where we said goodbye to the guide. After that, we had lunch at a pizza place and enjoyed some free time. Of course, we returned to Kailua Beach afterward!

今回、ガイドさん付きのツアーは私達夫婦一組だけ。夫はカヤック経験者だけど、私は初。そんな私のためにカヤックの乗り方、パドルの使い方を丁寧に教えてくれました。『実践あるのみダネ~♪』と意気揚々と道具を持ち、海へと歩くこと3分ほど。目の前にはカイルアの青い青い海が広がっていて、海ガメさんがお出迎え♪顔を水面から出したりしててカワイイ~。が、、、感動する暇もさほどなく、おっかなびっくりカヤックに乗っていざ大海原へ。。300~400m離れた無人島を目指してひたすらガイドさんについて漕ぐ、漕ぐ、漕ぐ。。向かい風にも負けず漕いでいると、ゆらゆらと別の海ガメさんが近くを泳いでる!!まさかの遭遇に、漕ぐのを一瞬忘れ二人で『おぉ~~~っっ!!!』と大騒ぎ!!感動も束の間、ふと我に返りパドルを亀さんにぶつけないように気をつけながら再び漕ぐこと20分。島に無事に到着♪なぜこの島が出来たのかとか、渡り鳥の習性、保護地区であることを詳しく教えてくれました。途中、穴の中に渡り鳥のツガイを見つけたり、カニの抜け殻を見つけたり、大騒ぎしながら一周歩きました。その後、ラニカイへ渡ってシュノーケルをしたい、という私達の希望をガイドさんは快く引き受けてくれて、再びカヤックへ。島からラニカイビーチまでは波に対して直角に漕ぐので、砂浜に流されないようにするのが大変だった･･。嬉しいことに、その途中でも海ガメさんに遭遇。今度は子ガメで、小さくて可愛かったぁ~(*^^*)こんなに会えるなんて思ってもみなかっただけに、ラッキーなことこの上ないね、と話しながら『天国の海』へ。ラニカイはサンゴ礁がたくさんあって、シュノーケルには絶好の場所！ガイドさんと一緒にシュノーケルを楽しみました。小さな魚や大きな魚、色とりどりの魚たちが出迎えてくれてさっきまで漕ぎまくった疲れも吹っ飛びましたね。泳ぎがあまり得意ではなく、遠くまでは行けなかったけどガイドさんは『こ~んな大きな魚（1メートルくらい）がイタヨ！』と大喜びでした☆
15分ほどシュノーケルを楽しみ、写真を3人で撮り合い、大騒ぎしてとても楽しかった~!!!!2時間のﾂｱｰｶﾞｲﾄﾞもあっという間で、再びカヤックでカイルアへ向かい、Shopへ戻ってガイドさんとはお別れ･･･。その後はピザ屋さんでのランチとフリータイム。ランチ後はもちろん再びカイルアビーチに戻りましたが♪キレ

We participated as a family of five (two adults and three children).

I was worried about whether my elementary school-aged child could go snorkeling, but the staff provided excellent support, allowing my daughter to see dolphins up close! On that day, we were also lucky enough to see a whale jumping, and the staff was quite excited about it. After that, we changed locations for snorkeling in a spot with high visibility. We encountered not only many fish but also sea turtles and sharks, making it an absolutely amazing time!

Dancing on the boat, delicious cheeseburgers, hula dance lessons... it was truly a satisfying tour!

This became our family's top memory from our trip to Hawaii!

家族５名（大人２・子供３）で参加しました。

小学生の子供がいてシュノーケリング出来るか不安でしたが、スタッフの方が丁寧にサポートしてくれたので、娘もイルカを間近に見る事が出来ました♪
またその日はラッキーな事に、クジラがジャンプしている姿を見る事も出来、スタッフの方も興奮気味☆☆☆
その後ポイントを変え、透明度の高い場所でのシュノーケリング。
たくさんの魚たちだけでなく海がめやサメとも出会え、本当にサイコーの時間を過ごせました！！

船上でのダンス、美味しいチーズバーガー、フラダンスのレッスン・・・とにかく大満足のツアーです！！

我が家のHAWAII旅行１番の思い出になりました！！

I had a great time encountering sea turtles! The hamburgers were delicious, and the staff was very polite and pleasant. However, my third-grade son seemed a bit scared of snorkeling.

ウミガメにも出逢えて楽しかったです！ハンバーガーも美味しく、スタッフはとても丁寧で気持ち良かったです。ただ小学3年生の息子はシュノーケリングが少し怖かったようです。

WOW! From the moment we arrived at the pier (we drove as we had a toddler with us) Jenner was playful and set a great mood. Everyone was excited for a day on the water, even though the weather didn't look too great. The Sandbar was fantastic, it's a unique experience being in the middle of the ocean, walking around. My husband had NEVER snorkeled before and found it hard to put the experience into words; he saw fish he'd only ever seen in documentaries and he was fascinated by the colours and the way they would swim around him... he's now officially addicted. Lunch was really good; well organised, quick and tasty. Our little one kinda freaked out on the boat and the staff were great with cheering him up. Jenner played his guitar while we ate and I've never felt more relaxed and like I was "in Hawaii". We saw turtles, the coral reef we moved to after the sand bar was unbelievable - the marine life is abundant and a hot cocoa at the end of a day snorkeling in cooler water was a perfect e

I had friends visiting the islands, and they wanted to do something a bit different, and 'off the beaten path' so I decided to take them Ocean Kayaking over in Kailua! We headed out, a bit late, and got there and the staff at Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks were amazing and friendly, telling us all the best insider tips for kayaking out there! We got out into the ocean, and it was extremely windy and choppy, but it was so much fun heading out to Flat Island and then over to the beach for a bit of relaxing snorkeling and sunbathing. Thanks again to the great staff at Kailua Sailboards for all their help with everything kayak and ocean related, my friends and I had a blast braving the elements and spending the day out on the water!

My dream of standing on a sandbar during my trip to Hawaii came true, and it was amazing. When I walked on the sandbar, the water was about ankle-deep, but standing there, I could see a beautiful panoramic view of the blue ocean, which felt wonderful. The staff kindly offered to take photos, saying, "Let’s take some pictures," and they captured various angles for us.

For snorkeling, I was provided with a life jacket, snorkel, and aqua pole (a cylindrical float), and I got ready. Since it was my first time snorkeling, they taught me how to use the equipment, and I swam. When I swam to the area with coral, I could see many small fish swimming around. I think it would be better to practice snorkeling beforehand so that you can swim further and enjoy it more. Those who were just in swimsuits looked a bit cold, but I wasn’t cold because I wore a short-sleeve T-shirt over my swimsuit.

The staff explained everything in Japanese, which made it easy to understand and reassuring. On the way, we also saw three large sea turtles swimming. It was a fun cruise tour, and I would love to go again.

ハワイ旅行でサンドバーの上に立つ夢がかない最高でした。サンドバーの上を歩くと水が足首くらいまであったけれどその上に立ち一面パノラマできれいな青い海が見えてとても気持ち良かったです。スタッフの方は「写真を撮りましょう。」と親切に声をかけて下さりいろいろな方向を向いた写真を撮って下さいました。
　
シュノーケリングでは、ライフジャケット、シュノーケル、アクアポール（円筒形ビート板）を貸してもらい身支度しました。スノーケリングは初めてでしたので使い方を教えてもらい泳ぎました。サンゴのある所まで泳いで行くと小魚がたくさん泳いでいるのが見えました。シュノーケリングは事前に練習して行く方が遠くまで泳げて楽しめると思いました。水着だけの人は少し寒そうでしたが私は、水着の上に半袖Ｔシャツを着ていたので寒くなかったです。

スタッフの方が日本語で話して説明して下さったのでよくわかり安心できました。また、行く途中に３びき大きなウミガメが泳いでいるのを見ました。楽しいクルーズツアーでした。また、行ってみたいです

Since it was March, it was a bit chilly. I recommend participating in this tour during warmer times. The water was cold, and we walked towards the sandbar while enduring it a little. If you’re not good with the cold, definitely bring a rash guard! When I participated, there was no beach, and I was about 20 centimeters submerged in water at the sandbar. So, if you’re aiming for a complete beach experience, it might be better to check the timing. As for snorkeling, I thought we would be doing it in shallow areas, but it was actually quite deep, which might be tough for first-timers, children, or those who aren’t strong swimmers. My mother, who was with me, said she was scared and watched from the board. However, while we were on the boat, we saw a manta ray and a sea turtle, which was very exciting! I heard that on lucky days, you can see both!

時期が３月という事もあり肌寒かったです。こちらのツアーは温かい時期に参加される事をオススメします。水も冷たく、少し我慢しながらサンドバーめがけてあるいていきました。寒いのが苦手な方はぜひラッシュガードを！私が参加したときは、砂浜はでてこず、サンドバーでも２０センチ位水につかっていました。なので、完全な砂浜を目的にしている方は時期を確認されていてからの方が良いかもしれませんね。シュノーケリングは、浅い所でやるのかと思いきや、結構深い所だったので、初めてシュノーケリングする方や子供さんや泳ぎが不得意という方には厳しいかもしれません。同行した母は、怖いといってボードで見ていました。でも、ボートで走っている途中では、マンタとウミガメが見れ、とても感激しました！運が良い日は両方見られるらしいですよ！

This is my fourth time participating. This time I joined alone. No matter how many times I participate, this tour is the best. The staff's service is excellent, and I can enjoy myself throughout. Swimming with wild dolphins, seeing sea turtles, eating hamburgers, and dancing the hula. It's very luxurious.

4回目の参加です。今回は1人で参加しました。何度参加してもこのツアーは最高です。スタッフの方の対応がとてもよく、終始楽しむことができます。野生のイルカと泳ぎ、海ガメを見て、ハンバーガー食べてフラダンスを踊る。とても贅沢です。

I joined the tour hoping to swim with dolphins, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable. The waves were high, and it rained occasionally, making it quite cold.

Fortunately, when we reached the dolphin point, we spotted a pod of wild dolphins, and cheers erupted on the boat. As we entered the water and approached the dolphins, they swiftly swam past us. The dolphins were so fast, and it was just a fleeting moment, but it was exhilarating! After confirming that everyone had seen the dolphins, we got back on the boat, and once again, we chased after them. The captain offered, "Shall we go in again?" but due to the cold, no one was eager to raise their hands.

After enjoying delicious cheeseburgers made by the captain, we went snorkeling. We spotted whales in the distance a few times during our journey, but unfortunately, I could only see their spouts.

Because of the high waves, we snorkeled at a point inside the breakwater near the port, but the water was cold and murky due to the rain, so we couldn't enjoy it fully. However, we did manage to see several types of fish, sea urchins, and a large school of slender fish that looked like saury.

After getting off the boat, we had a hula dance lesson at a park near the port. While staff member Yuka asked on the bus, "Shall we cancel because of the rain?" miraculously, the sky suddenly cleared. We wrapped pareos around our waists, adorned our heads and wrists with leis, and had a fun lesson under the guidance of the hula teacher. The music was played by a ukulele player who resembled Hiro from Yasuda Circus. There was also an explanation of hula tools, allowing us to experience Hawaiian culture.

The staff on today's tour were fantastic. Yuka, our caretaker, was charming and kind, with great attention to detail. Captain John was very generous, putting three lucky cheeseburgers on our plates. The two local boys were also a lot of fun. DJ Kekoa resembled Taka from Taka and Toshi, full of mischief, and was skilled at playing the ukulele and singing. The tall and young Patrick was an excellent dancer.

I would love to go back and meet them and the dolphins again on a sunny day.

For those participating, I recommend taking motion sickness medication.

イルカと泳げることを期待して参加したツアーですが、天候に恵まれず、波は高く、雨が時々降って寒かったです。

幸い、イルカポイントに達すると野生のイルカの群れを発見、船内に歓声があがりました。
海に入ってイルカの群れに近づくと、海中をイルカの群れがサーッと横切って行きました。
イルカのスピードが速くて、ほんの一瞬のことでしたが、感激！
全員がイルカを見られたことを確認して船に上がり、再び、船はイルカを追いかけました。
船長の「もう一度入る？」というオファーがありましたが、寒さのため、誰も積極的に手を上げません。

船長が作ったおいしいチーズバーガーをいただいた後はシュノーケリング。
寄港途中に何度かクジラが遠くに見えたようですが、残念ながら、私は潮吹きしか確認できませんでした。

波が高かったので、港近くの防波堤の内側のポイントでシュノーケルしましたが、水が冷たかったし、雨の影響で水が濁っていて十分に楽しめませんでした。
でも、何種類かの魚やウニ、サヨリみたいな細い魚の大群は確認できました。

船から降りた後、港そばの公園でフラダンス講習。
「雨なのでやめますか？」とバスの中でスタッフのゆかさんが問いかけている間に、不思議なことに突如青空に。
パレオを腰に巻き、頭と手首にレイをつけ、フラの先生の指導で楽しいレッスンです。
演奏は安田サーカスのヒロ君似のウクレレ。
フラの道具の説明もあり、ハワイアン・カルチャーにふれることができました。

今日のツアー、スタッフがとってもよかったです。
お世話係のゆかさんはとってもチャーミングでやさしく、気配り十分。
船長ジョンさんはチーズバーガーに当たりを3つ入れてくれるなどサービス精神たっぷり。
二人のロコボーイも楽しいです。
DJケコアはタカアンドトシのタカ似で、茶目っ気たっぷりでウクレレや歌も上手。
長身で若いパトリックはダンスがとっても上手。

天気のいい時にまた再び彼らとイルカに会いに行きたいです。

参加されるみなさん、酔い止め薬の服用をお勧めします。

The weather was cloudy, but walking on the sandbar felt great on my feet. I would like to go again on a sunny day to see the scenery and the sea turtles. *It would be nice if there was a discount for those who participated on a bad weather day for their next visit.

天候は曇りでしたが、サンドバーを歩いたら足の裏が気持ちよかった。
晴天の日に景色とウミガメを見にもう一度行きたいです。
＊天気の悪い日に参加した人が、次回参加の場合は割引があったらいいのではないでしょうか。

It was a very rare and enjoyable experience to be able to walk on the sandy beach in the middle of the ocean! Snorkeling was also amazing!

海の中央に砂浜があってそこで歩けるなんてとても貴重な体験で楽しかったです♪シュノーケルもできて最高でした！

The weather was great, and I was able to see plenty of turtles and beautiful fish, which was really wonderful. The Japanese-speaking guide was also very accommodating, making for a pleasant tour. This time, I participated with my wife, but next time I would like to join with a larger group.

天候にも恵まれ、亀やきれいな魚もいっぱい見ることができすごく良かったです。日本語を話すガイドさんの対応も良く気持ちがよいツアーでした。今回は妻とふたりで参加しましたが、次回は大勢で参加してみたいです。

For the first snorkel outting of our trip, this was a great way to get the ball rolling. Other than the long drive to get to the boat launch everything was smooth sailing. The crew was great and fun to travel with and were very knowledgable on the sites we visited. The trip to the sand bar was a treat. Only regret is we would love to have stayed at the reef longer.

This time, I participated with ten friends, and the boat to Sandbar was separated for international guests and Japanese guests. The staff's service after boarding the boat was excellent. The hamburgers for lunch were, as expected in America, hearty and delicious. It's an attraction that can be enjoyed by groups, couples, and families alike. I will participate again!

今回は友人１０名で参加したのですが、サンンドバーに行くまでの船もインターナショナルと日本人で別れていたり、船に乗ってからのスタッフの対応は最高によかったです。昼食のハンバーガーもさすがアメリカ肉ボリューミーで美味しかったですね。グループでもカップルでもファミリーでも楽しめるアトラクションです。また参加しま~す。

I wanted to visit the beautiful sandbar I saw on TV, so I decided to join this tour. The weather on the day was cloudy with occasional light rain. They picked us up at the hotel. The driver was a local, but there was always a Japanese staff member to support us, so even those new to traveling abroad can participate with peace of mind.

After about an hour on the bus, we boarded the boat, and the crew was introduced. Yukki, the Japanese staff member, entertained us with her lively talk. First, we encountered about ten sea turtles. They occasionally peeked their faces above the water, and I quickly made a wish.

Then we headed to the main sandbar. It was a strange feeling to see a shallow area appear in the middle of the ocean, clearly different in color from the surrounding sea. The temperature that day wasn't very high, and it took quite a bit of courage to get into the water. However, according to the staff, the water temperature was still on the warmer side. After taking photos at the sandbar and enjoying the scenery, we were supposed to go snorkeling. However, due to the cold, we decided to pass.

I was very grateful to participate at a reasonable price as a monitor this time. Unfortunately, the weather was a downside. I think if it had been sunnier, we could have seen the beautiful scenery like what we saw on TV. Also, Hawaii was cooler than I expected... I think it's better to bring about two bath towels since changing into swimsuits inside the boat can be difficult. If I have the opportunity again, I would like to participate.

テレビで見た美しいサンドバーに一度は行きたい！と思い、参加しました。
当日の天候は曇り時々霧雨でした。ホテルまでピックアップ。ドライバーさんは現地の方でしたが、日本人スタッフが常にフォローしてくれるので、海外始めての方でも安心して参加できます。

バスに揺られること約一時間。船に乗り込み、クルーの紹介。日本人スタッフ、ゆきさんのテンポいいトークで楽しませてくれました。まずは、ウミガメ。10匹くらいに会えました。時々顔を水面に覗かせてくれて、すかさず願いごとをしました。

そして、メインのサンドバーへ。海の真ん中に浅瀬が現れて、不思議な感覚でした。周りの海の色と明らかに違いました。その日の気温はあまり高くなく、水中に入るのにはかなり勇気が入りました。でも、スタッフいわく、それでも水温は高い方とのことでした。サンドバーで写真を撮ったり、景色を眺めた後はスノーケリング。しかし、あまりの寒さに私たちはパスしました。

今回はモニターで、リーズナブルに参加させてもらえたのはとてもありがたかったです。残念だったのが天気。もっと晴れていれば、テレビで見たような美しい景色が見れたのだと思います。また、予想以上にハワイは涼しかった。。。厚めのパーカー、そして船内で水着を着替えるのは難しいのでバスタオルは2枚程度持参した方がいいと思いました。また機会があれば、参加したいと思います。

I participated in the activity mentioned in the title.

We set off early in the morning while it was still dark. Despite getting caught in a bit of traffic, we arrived at the location in about an hour. The weather was nice, but it was quite windy. Due to the tides, the sandbar was submerged... and the seawater was cold... Depending on the weather, it might be tough for the elderly and small children. However, there was a family with a five-month-old baby participating in this tour, so if the weather is good and there’s no wind, it would be perfect.

The female Japanese guide was fun and made an effort to engage with each tour participant, which made her a very likable guide. As for the locals... if they are dealing with Japanese people, their attitude can be a bit arrogant, but I guess that can’t be helped?

When it comes to snorkeling, once you're in the water, you don't feel the cold! However, I wished I had fins. Why couldn't we wear them? Is it to avoid damaging the coral reefs? If that's the case, I suppose it can't be helped.

It got a bit long, but overall, thanks to the efforts of the Japanese-speaking guide, it was above average. It really depends on the weather. However, looking at it from a different perspective, it was an enjoyable tour. The seawater was cold for us, but we had fun!

と、タイトルのアクティビティに参加をさせていただきました。

早朝、まだ薄暗い中出発。
少々渋滞にはまりながらも、１時間ほどで現地に到着。
お天気はよかったのですが、風が強かったです。
潮の満ち干きの関係上、サンドバーは海の中・・・海水が冷たかった。。。
天気によっては、ご年配、小さなお子様にはきついかな？
でも、今回のツアーには生後５ヶ月の赤ちゃんも、家族で参加していたので、天気がよく風もなければ最高ですね。

女性の日本語ガイドさん、楽しくて、ツアー客を楽しませようと、一人一人に声をかけていて、とても好感のもてるガイドさんでした。現地のかたがたは。。。。日本人を相手にするのであれば、ちょっと態度が横柄というか、しょうがないのかな？

シュノーケリング、海の中に入ってしまえば、寒さは感じない！でも、足ひれが欲しかった。なぜ、つけられないのでしょう？珊瑚礁を壊さないため？なら仕方がなのかな？

ちょっと長くなりましたが、総合的には、日本語ガイドのお姉さんががんばったおかげで、中の上。天気しだいです。でも、見方を変えれば、楽しめるツアーでした。我々は海水が冷たかったけど、楽しみましたよ！

Thank you for the other day. I think it was a valuable experience.

I had a great time. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious too! I was able to see a lot of fish while snorkeling.

It was a bit cold, but since you have to walk to the sandbar, it might be tough for families and elderly participants.

There is also a Japanese guide, so you can participate with peace of mind!

I recommend bringing a change of clothes for the return trip.

先日はありがとうございました。貴重な体験ができたと思います。

楽しかったです。お昼のハンバーガーもこれまたおいしんです！シュノーケリングでたくさん魚も見れました。

寒かったのもありますが、サンドバーも結局歩くしかないので、ファミリーや年配者連れには厳しいかなと思います。

日本人ガイドさんもいらっしゃるので安心して参加できますよ！

帰りの着替える服を持参されるのをオススメします。

I've visited Hawaii several times, but this was my first time participating in this activity. I was really looking forward to it, but unfortunately, we were hit by heavy rain and strong winds on the day, so we couldn't enjoy snorkeling. It was very disappointing since I had high expectations... I will definitely try again! I want to believe that it's a sign to come back (laughs).

However, thanks to the rain, I was able to see a double rainbow, which was very moving. The staff's guidance was also entertaining, so I highly recommend that everyone give it a try!

ハワイは何度か訪れていますが、このアクティビティの参加は初めてでした。とても楽しみにしていたのですが、当日は生憎の大雨に強風に見舞われ、シュノーケリングを楽しむことができませんでした。期待大だっただけに非常に残念でした…。またリベンジします！きっと、また来いってことだと思いたいです（笑）
ただ、雨のおかげか（～!）ダブルレインボーを見ることができてとても感激でした。スタッフの方のガイドも面白かったので、みなさんも是非参加されてみてはいかがでしょうか。

I signed up because it was supposed to be a Japanese-speaking guide, but the guide who picked me up at the hotel hardly spoke any Japanese. The bus was shared with other English-speaking guests, and for about 50 minutes from the hotel to the boat, I was left feeling like an afterthought as I listened to conversations in English while the Japanese speakers were treated as secondary.

The activity itself was good, as there were Japanese staff on the boat who provided clear explanations.

日本語ガイドということだったので申し込みましたが、ホテルに迎えに来たガイドはほとんど日本語を話さず、バスは英語圏の他のお客さんと一緒で、ホテルから船に乗るまでの間約50分の間、英語の分かる人と話をしており、英語のわからない日本人はおまけのような扱いをされているような感じで気分がよくありませんでした。
アクティビティ自体は日本人スタッフも船に居てよく説明していただきました。

We went on our honeymoon. Unfortunately, the weather was not great, and it rained on the way there. However, while we were at the sandbar, the sun miraculously came out, and we were able to see a wonderful view. ☆ After that, we were able to see some turtles and rays. At the last snorkeling spot, it rained, and we couldn't see well underwater... If it had been sunny, I think we would have seen amazing corals and colorful fish.

ハネムーンで行ってきました。
あいにくの天気で、行く途中雨が降ったりしました。
が、サンドバーにいる時は奇跡的に太陽が出てきて、素晴らしい景色を見ることができました☆
そのあと、カメやエイにも少し会えました。
最後のシュノーケルのポイントでは、雨が降って海の中がよく見えませんでした。。。
晴れていたら、素晴らしい珊瑚と色とりどりの魚達に会えたと思います。

There was no pickup, but The Bus was sufficient. For us, who practice equestrianism in Japan, this ranch was the best and made us so happy. It felt like being a cowboy. The staff were friendly (American).
On the way back, I think it would be great to get off at Kahuku and enjoy shrimp, corn, and more!

ピックアップは無いけれどThe Bus で充分行けました。日本で馬術している私達にとって、これ程嬉しい牧場は最高でした。カーボーイ気分です。スタッフも親切（アメリカン）。
帰りはカフクで降りてシュリンプ、コーンなど召し上がったら良いと思うわ！！

I participated in a monitor tour.

The weather was great on the day, and I was able to enjoy the heavenly sea with a wonderful feeling! I was able to see sea turtles, and although I was a beginner at snorkeling, I felt safe swimming because I was wearing a life jacket.

I definitely want to recommend this to my friends!

モニターツアーで参加しました。

当日は天気も良く、とてもいい気持ちで天国の海を楽しむことができました！
ウミガメも見ることができ、またシュノ―ケリングも初心者でしたがライフジャケットを着用していたので安心して泳ぐことができました。

友人にもぜひオススメしたいです！

I participated with two friends in mid-January. We were picked up at the hotel around 9 AM.

While on the bus, we received explanations in both Japanese and English as we headed to the port. It takes about 40 to 50 minutes to get to the port.

We headed to the sandbar on a cruiser, and the waves were calm, so I didn't experience any seasickness, which I was worried about. On the day we participated, the water was about ankle to knee-deep. Since it was January, it can be a bit chilly when the sun isn't out, so I think having a long-sleeve hoodie would be a good idea. The water was very clear and beautiful. Although it was cloudy, we took photos when the sun was out, and all the pictures turned out beautifully. The staff were also very kind and took photos for us, which we appreciated.

For those with flexible schedules, I recommend checking the tide schedule online in advance and choosing a day to participate accordingly.

Being able to stand in the middle of the ocean is a rare experience. This activity is recommended for both first-time visitors to Hawaii and repeat visitors.

1月中旬に友達二人で参加しました。
9時頃ホテルに迎えに来ていただきました。

バスの中で日本語と英語の説明を受けながら港へ向かいます。港までは40~50分程かかります。

クルーザーでサンドバーへ向かいますが、波は穏やかで心配していた船酔いも大丈夫でした。
私たちが参加した日は、足首から膝下くらいの深さでした。
1月ということもあり、太陽が出ていないと肌寒く、長袖のパーカーなどがあるといいと思います。
海の透明度が高く、とても綺麗です。
曇っていたのですが、太陽が出ている時に撮影をしたので出来上がった写真はどれも綺麗でした。
スタッフの方々も快く撮影して下さってありがたかったです。

日程等に余裕のある方は、事前にインターネットで潮の満ち引きを調査して参加される日を選ばれることをおすすめします。

海の真ん中に立てるというのは貴重な体験です。ハワイが初めての方にもリピーターの方にもおすすめのアクティビティです。

The wind was strong, and kayaking was more challenging than I expected, but it wasn't as tough as club activities.

The ocean was truly beautiful, and I even encountered a sea turtle while swimming along the way.

Our guide was an American who spoke Japanese, and he was full of humor, making it a fun experience.

風が強く、カヤックは思ったより大変でしたが、部活ほどではありません。

海が、本当に美しく、途中泳いでいるウミガメにも出会いました。

ガイドさんは、日本語を話すアメリカ人で、ユーモアたっぷりで楽しめました。

It's hard to believe that I actually had the experience of standing on the sea. I couldn't believe that I was standing on a sandbar surrounded by the ocean in every direction.

I wasn't confident in my swimming abilities, but the female staff member kindly supported me. I was able to see sea turtles, and above all, the captain's homemade hamburger lunch was the best.

海の上に立つなんて考えられない体験が実際にできます。
３６０度周囲は海に囲まれている中に中州に立っている自分がしばらく信じられなかったです。

泳ぎに自信がなかったのですが、スタッフの女性が優しくフォローしてくださいました。
ウミガメも見ることができたし、何よりもキャプテンお手製のハンバーガーランチは最高でした。

I participated in this monitor tour with my mother.

The pickup was on time. However, I was surprised by the condition of the shuttle bus. During the journey, the driver provided some explanations in Japanese, but most of the explanations were in English.

We arrived at the port in just under an hour. First, we went to the sandbar.

The expansive sandbar was breathtaking, and the sense of unity with the sky created an indescribably wonderful view. Since it was low tide, the water level was about ankle-deep. We had plenty of time at the sandbar to walk around, play beach volleyball, and practice snorkeling.

After that, we enjoyed delicious hamburgers.

Next, we searched for sea turtles from the boat. We were able to see a few, but it was brief, so it might be difficult to see the turtles fully...

Finally, we went snorkeling at the coral reef. Since it's in deep water, I think those who are worried should use a life jacket and a float. The crew will attract fish, so I believe you'll see a lot.

I think this tour is recommended if the weather is good. There is a Japanese staff member on the crew, so it's okay if you don't speak English. The boat didn't sway much either.

I participated with my mother, who is nearly 70, and she said the scenery was beautiful. I think this is a tour that people of all ages can enjoy.

今回モニタ−ツア−で母と参加しました。


時間通りのピックアップ。
しかし送迎バスを見てボロさに驚いてしまいました。
道中、運転手さんが少し日本語で説明してくれますが英語での説明がほとんどになります。


一時間弱で港に到着。まずはサンドバ−へ。


一面に広がるサンドバ−は圧巻で、空との一体感が何とも言えず素晴らしい景色でした。
ちょうど干潮の時間だったので水位は足首ほどでした。
サンドバ−での時間は沢山あり、散歩・ビ−チバレ−・シュノ-ケルの練習などが出来ます。


その後美味しいハンバ-ガ-を楽しみました。


次は船上から海亀を探しました。
何匹か見る事が出来ましたが、一瞬なので海亀全体を見る事は難しいかも…


最後は珊瑚礁でのシュノ-ケリング。
足が付かない所なので、心配な方はライフジャケット＋浮き棒を使用したらいいかと思います。
クル−が魚を呼び寄せてくれるので沢山見られると思います。


このツア−は天気がよければお薦めのツア−だと思います。
クル−に日本人の方がいますので､英語が出来なくても大丈夫です。
船の揺れもあまりありませんでした。


70歳近くの母と参加しましたが、景色がよくよかったと言っておりました。
老若男女楽しめるツア−だと思います。

The sandbar used in many music videos! I imagined it just like that, but unfortunately, it was cloudy... However, the ocean was very beautiful. I also saw sea turtles on the way there and back!

あゆやたくさんのPVで使われているサンドバー！！
あのままを想像して行きましたが、あいにくの曇り…
しかし、海はとても綺麗でした。
行き、帰りに海ガメも見れました！

I participated in a monitor tour with my wife. The seawater was up to our ankles, and the sandbar didn't fully appear, which was a bit disappointing, but the "beach" that emerged in the water was fantastic. Along the way, we encountered a sea turtle, and snorkeling near the coral reef allowed us to see many fish, which was great. This was a tour I would like to join again when I visit Hawaii.

モニターツアーで妻と参加しました。海水が足首まであり、サンドバーは完全に現れず少し残念でしたが、海の中に出現した「砂浜」は最高でした。途中、ウミガメとも遭遇でき、サンゴ礁近くでのシュノーケリングは、たくさんの魚を見ることができ、よかったです。ハワイを訪れた際は、また参加したいツアーでした。

This was my first time participating. I used it for my honeymoon. The sandbar was beautiful, and there was plenty of free time, so it was really great. The lunch on the boat, where they grilled meat, was very delicious.

The snorkeling was a bit cold, but I was able to see a lot of fish. After getting out of the water, they also prepared warm drinks, and the staff's service was excellent.

I highly recommend it.

初参加です。新婚旅行で利用しました。サンドバーも綺麗で、自由な時間もたっぷりあったのでとてもよかったです。ランチも船上でお肉を焼いてくれてとてもおいしかったです。
シュノーケルは水が少し冷たかったですが、たくさんの魚を見ることができました。海から上がったあとは、温かい飲み物も用意してくれてスタッフの対応も◎です。
おすすめです。
