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。

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.

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!

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!

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!

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。

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.

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。

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.

Since I went in January, there was a perfect photo opportunity when the sun came out! At this time, we could practice snorkeling, but it was cold, so I quickly returned to the boat.

The beauty of Kaneohe Bay was astonishing; we could see coral and tropical fish right at the harbor where the boats were docked. Once we boarded the boat and headed out to sea, we spotted sea turtles (honu) here and there. The water at the sandbar was about knee-deep, but the location was truly as wonderful as advertised. During snorkeling, we encountered a school of fish swimming among the corals just three seconds after diving in—absolutely amazing.
Surrounded by a rich ecosystem, beautiful sea, friendly and cheerful staff, and picturesque views in every direction, it became a memorable experience for us. Our whole family was very satisfied.
I don't think there’s much worry about seasickness due to the boat's structure and the calm sea, and the activities were enjoyable for everyone, from kids to grandma. If you have the chance, I highly recommend it.
3世代家族旅行の折に7:30ピックアップの早朝プランに参加です。家族みんなでのオアフ滞在は4度目だったのですが、天国の海サンドバーへは初めてで一同ワクワク感たっぷりで臨みました。
驚くのはカネオヘ湾の綺麗な事、船の係留されている港でいきなり珊瑚や熱帯魚が見られ。いざ船に乗って沖に出ると、あちらこちらでウミガメ(ホヌ)を確認。サンドバーは膝下位の水位でしたが、看板に偽りなしの素晴らしいロケーション。その後のシュノーケルでは、潜って3秒で珊瑚の間を泳ぐ魚の群れに遭遇で言う事なし。
豊かな生態系と美しい海、親切で陽気なスタッフ、どこを向いても絵になる素敵な景色に囲まれ、心に残る体験となりました。我が家のみんな大満足です。
船の構造と穏やかな海で船酔いの心配もそうないと思いますし、体力的にも子どもからバアちゃんまで各々に合わせて楽しめる内容で問題なし。機会あれば、ぜひお勧めです。

The beauty of the sandbar was stunning, and encountering a sea turtle was moving. The snorkeling experience and the relaxed pace of the itinerary felt very much like Hawaii, and it was physically easy as well.
This experience is highly dependent on the weather, so I think the evaluation may change accordingly, but it would be excellent if it's sunny.
In any case, I liked that the itinerary was slow-paced.
The ocean is relatively cold during New Year's, so I think it's better to bring long sleeves.
サンドバーの美しさをみて、ウミガメに遭遇して感動、シュノーケル体験とゆったりとした時間の行程なのでハワイらしいですし、体力的にも楽です。
この体験は天候に非常に左右されるので、それによって評価は変わるかと思いますが、晴れたら非常によいでしょう。
とにかく行程がゆっくりしていたので、気に入りました。
お正月の海は比較的冷たいですので、長袖は持参された方がいいと思います。

While driving in Kailua, I saw people kayaking towards an island, and I just had to try it myself, so I quickly returned to the hotel and signed up for a guided tour.
My 9-year-old son and my 70-year-old father, along with the whole family, enjoyed it. While paddling towards the island, the staff kept a watchful eye on us, which made us feel safe. The beauty of the ocean goes without saying, and once we landed on the island, they provided explanations about nature in Japanese, which was very informative.
For lunch, we chose pizza, and it was incredibly delicious, which surprised us. The slices were large, so I was worried about whether we could finish them, but they were so tasty that our whole family devoured them.
I'm really glad I participated since it's an experience you can't easily have in Japan! This is an activity I want to repeat.
カイルアをドライブしていてカヤックで島に向っていく様子をみかけたので、どうしてもやりたくなって、早速ホテルに帰ってガイド付きのコースを申し込みました。
9歳の息子も70歳の父も家族全員で楽しめました。島にむかって漕いでいる間はスタッフが目をくばってくれるので、安心です。海の美しさは言わずもがな、島に上陸してからも自然についての説明を日本語で行ってくれるのでとってもためになりました。
ランチで私達はピザを選びましたが、このピザのおいしさがとんでもなくおいしく、びっくり。スライスが大きいので食べれるか心配でしたが、あまりのおいしさに家族みんなぺろりでした。
日本ではなかなか経験できないので参加して本当によかった!リピートしたいアクティビティです。

This was an excellent half-day experience. We went out on a large, spacious catamaran with a crew of 4, and in the course of 2 guided snorkling drops we had multiple sightings of dolphin, saw a giant turtle moving along the sea floor and another (or possibly the same one) pausing to breathe at the surface, and encountered countless colorful (and near-fearless) fish. We saw coral, too, with coral arches (our guide dived down and swam under one) and a "coral garden" area.
After the second dive we were given hot BBQ sandwiches and mixed fruit, with a choice of chicken or pork sandwhiches. There was plenty of room for everyone to find a spot in the sun (when it shone), and cabin shelter when we felt chilly.
The crew were friendly, safety-conscious, and proactive in large and small ways. Everyone was encouraged to wear a lifejacket for the first snorkel drop, and there were 2 crew members in the water with us, one as a guide and one to stay with the first-timers (he brought a surfboar

The location is great, and the horse training is very well done, so the horses are calm and you can enjoy trail riding with peace of mind.
At first, we did a 90-minute family trail ride at a walk. Other beginner families also participated, and we were able to enjoy it safely and happily.
Next, we went for a canter and encountered many horses and cows while they were grazing. Advanced riders can also enjoy this experience.
There are no vending machines here, so I think it's better to bring your own drinks.
It was a ranch where you can experience the authentic atmosphere of an American farm. It was nice and simple since it hasn't been commercialized as a tourist spot.
ロケーションも良く、また馬の調教もとても良くできていて、馬もおとなしいので安心して外乗できます。
初めはファミリーで常足外乗90分しました。他の初心者のファミリーも参加しましたが安全に楽しくできました。
続いてキャンター外乗しましたが、放牧中のたくさんの馬や牛と出会いました。上級者の方も楽しめます。
ここは自販機が無いので飲料を持参するほうが良いと思います。
アメリカの素の牧場の雰囲気を味わえるRANCHでした。観光地化されていない分、素朴で良かったです。

At the first spot, we couldn't see many dolphins, but when we moved to the second spot and got into the water, a surprising large group swam right in front of us. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was also delicious.
始めのポイントではイルカをあまり見ることが出来なかったが二回目のポイントに移動してもらい海に入るとびっくりするくらい大群が目の前を泳いでくれた。 船の上で食べたチーズバーガーもおいしかったです

Thank you for enjoying the sandbar. Although Hawaii experiences its rainy season from December to March, which typically results in more overcast skies and a higher chance of rain, I regret to hear that the day you participated was cloudy. I hope that your next visit will be under clear skies.
We will take your feedback into consideration and strive to provide even better service in the future.
We look forward to your next visit.
サンドバーをお楽しみいただき有難うございます。
ハワイは12月~3月までが雨季にあたるため、通常よりも曇ったり雨が降る確立が高くなっているとはいえ、ご参加いただいた当日は曇り空だったとのこと、残念に思っております。次回お越しいただく際は、晴天になるといいですね。
また、お客様からいただいたご意見を考慮のうえ、今後よりよいサービスが提供ができるよう努めさせていただきます。
