Oahu
We participated as a group of four. At first, we preferred canoeing, but the initial part was free time. The kayak was difficult to paddle against the headwind on the way out, but it was fast on the return with the tailwind. Tomo's explanation on the uninhabited island was very good. Thank you very much.
4人で参加しました。最初カヌーがよかったのですが、最初がフリータイムでした。カヤックが向かい風で行きはなかなか進みませんでしたが、帰りは追い風で早かったです。無人島でのトモさんの説明がとてもよかったです。ありがとうございました。
Snorkeling in Hawaii for the first time.
With excitement and nervousness, as I entered the water, it felt like a different world.
There were big fish and colorful tropical fish!
When I fed them bread for bait, I was surrounded by many fish.
It's a memory I'll cherish for a lifetime.
初めてのハワイにシュノーケリング。
ドキドキとワクワクの中で、
海に入るとそこは別世界。
大きいお魚や色とりどりの熱帯魚!
餌用のパンを与えると、
沢山の魚に囲まれていました。
一生の思い出です。
I was disappointed when I requested arrangements from a travel agency at the last minute and was told it was too late. Fortunately, a friend introduced me to Veltra, and I managed to book a tour just in time. When I arrived at the destination, I went to the meeting point near the hotel. While waiting nervously among many tour participants, I spotted a bus with a sign for "Angel's Sea." After confirming the name, we headed to the boat dock. We boarded the boat and arrived at the sandy beach, where I snorkeled with many other Japanese tourists. After swimming for an hour, we went cruising to see turtles and encountered many of them. Finally, I put on fins and a life jacket to snorkel around the coral with children aged 6, 10, and 12. We were able to see tropical fish. The hamburgers they grilled for us at the barbecue were incredibly satisfying and delicious. I had a wonderful time and would love to go again.
旅行ギリで旅行会社へ手配依頼をするともう遅すぎると断られ、残念におもっていると知り合いからベルトラの紹介をお受け申し込み滑り込みセーフ。現地では、ホテル近くの集合場所へ行きました。沢山のツアー集客場でドキドキしながらまっているとバスに天使の海の看板を発見。名前を確認しいざ船乗り場へ。船に乗りサンドビーチに到着。沢山の日本人と一緒スノーケリング。1時間泳ぎ亀を見にクルージング 沢山の亀達に遭遇できました。最後は、足ヒレやライフジャケットと着込んで6歳、10歳、12歳の子供たちとサンゴ周辺のスノーケリングを体験。熱帯の魚達を見ることができました。バーベキューで焼いてくれたハンバーガーも肉圧がすごく食べごたえ十分。楽しいひと時を過ごせました。また、行きたい
This excursion was one to definitely be remembered! A fun day is in store from the moment you leave the marina. The crew is full of fun people that are always making sure their guests are having a great time. The sandbar stop was fun filled with Hawaiian volleyball with the crew and other guests onboard. The lunch that was served before the reef snorkel was also great. At the private reef we saw a monk seal and also a ton of turtles and fish. We would love to do this trip again!
You should definitely sign up for this tour! The ocean is beautiful, and the tour content is very satisfying. There were families with children, so it's enjoyable for everyone.
このツアーは絶対申し込んだ方がいいです!
海はきれいだし、ツアー内容も大満足です。子供連れもいたので家族で楽しめます
The guide on the way to Angel's Sea was really entertaining. He seemed like a local character and was good at playing the guitar (singing "bye-bye WAIKIKI♪ bye-bye ABC MART♪"). It was a playful jab at the fact that you can't walk around Waikiki without running into an ABC Mart, but there were none on this tour. The BBQ lunch consisted of hamburgers, fries, and pink grapefruit juice on the boat. The taste was decent. Whether Angel's Sea is beautiful depends on the weather. During the sea turtle watch, we were taken to a spot with a high sighting rate, and we actually saw some! I think the cost performance is better than going on our own!
天使の海の道中のおっちゃん(ガイドさん)が面白かったです。名物おじさんのようで、ギターも上手でした(「bye-bye WAIKIKI~♪bye-bye ABC MART~♪」)(笑:ワイキキにワイキキでは歩けばABCマートにあたる、でしたが、このツアー野行く先には一つもないことを揶揄したもの)BBQランチは、船上でのハンバーガーとポテトとピンクグレープフルーツジュースでした。味はそこそこ。天使の海がきれいかどうかはお天気次第です。ウミガメウオッチでは、出没率が高いとこ炉に連れて行ってもらえ、実際、見られました!自分たちで行くより、コスパは高いと思われます◎!
A ladder was lowered from the boat, and we walked towards the sandbar. On the day of the tour, the water level was up to my waist even in shallow areas, so I carried my child into the sea. Since it was my child's first time at the ocean, they were a bit confused at first, but after a while, they started to enjoy it. The boat was anchored near the sandbar, so we could take breaks whenever we liked.
I’m sorry to say that the light snack sandwiches were not tasty, and I ended up leaving them. The bread tasted a bit sour. My friend who came with me also left theirs.
船からハシゴが下りて、歩いてサンドバーに向かいます。ツアーに参加した日は、浅いところでも腰くらいまで水位があったため、子供は抱っこして海に入りました。子供は初めての海だったため、最初は戸惑っていましたが、しばらくすると楽しんでいました。船はサンドバーの近くに停泊してくれているので、休憩などは好きなタイミングで行えました。
軽食のサンドイッチは申し訳ないですが、美味しくなくて残してしまいました。なんだかパンが酸っぱかったです。一緒に行った友人も残していました。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very pleased to hear that you and your child enjoyed the tour.
Regarding the sandwiches you mentioned for lunch, we have confirmed with the operating company that the sandwich bread is purchased fresh every morning from a bakery specifically for the tour. We apologize on behalf of the operating company for not meeting your expectations for the lunch provided.
Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us.

We had an amazing time and got to see a rare monk seal while having lunch in the boat. Crew was extremely friendly and even shared some great tips on places to visit.
I thought I wouldn't be able to communicate in Japanese when I joined the tour, but it turned out that the guide was a Japanese American, so they kindly provided explanations in Japanese! Since there are many Japanese people in Hawaii, it was refreshing to be on a tour with fewer Japanese participants.
I had my 1.5-year-old child with me, and they were thrilled to see the dolphins. I thought I would have to take turns snorkeling with my husband, but surprisingly, we were able to swim with our child in water deeper than 10 meters. (My husband isn't a strong swimmer, so I went in with them, haha.)
It's recommended to bring a life jacket since even small children can join in. The waves can be high, so if you're not a strong swimmer, it might be better not to go in with small children.
日本語が通じないと思ってツアーに参加したら、なんとガイドの方が日系アメリカ人ということで、日本語での説明も丁寧にして下さいました!ハワイにいると日本人が多いので、日本人が少ないツアーだったのも新鮮でした。
子供が1歳6ヶ月同伴でしたが、イルカに大はしゃぎ。シュノーケリングは夫と交代でやらないといけないと思っていたのですが、なんと水深10メートル以上のところで、子供と泳がせてもらいました。(夫は泳ぐのが苦手なので、私が一緒に入りました笑)
小さいお子様でも一緒に入れるので、ライフジャケットは持って行っておくのがオススメです!波が高いので、泳ぐのが苦手という方は、小さいお子様とは一緒に入らない方がよいかもしれません。
Since I booked with a slightly higher fee as an advanced rider, I might have expected more, but it felt like there was no difference from the beginner course, as we only did a little bit of cantering about twice.
上級者ということで、すこし上乗せの金額を払って予約したのだけど、2回くらい少しだけ駈歩しただけで、初心者コースと変わりなかったかも。
On the day, it wasn't the time when the sandy beach was elevated, but we were able to enjoy ourselves thoroughly. The photos taken from above the water looked very atmospheric. The way the island was reflected was also very nice. I wish it had been a bit sunnier, but it wasn't too hot, and I was very satisfied.
当日は砂浜が浮き上がっている時間帯ではありませんでいたが、十分に楽しむことができました。海の水の上から、自分たちを移した写真が大変雰囲気良く映ってくれました。島を爆気にした映り方も大変雰囲気が良かったものでした。できればもう少し晴れていてほしかったですが、暑くも無く、大変満足です。
The weather was bad, but the sea was beautiful! We were able to see sea turtles, and even beginners could enjoy snorkeling. The driver was cheerful and could speak a little Japanese, which was great. (I gave a tip to the driver.)
天気は悪かったのですが、海は綺麗でした!
ウミガメも見ることができ、初心者でもシュノーケリングも楽しむことができました。
運転手の方も陽気な方で日本語も少しできるのでよかったです。
(運転手の方へチップは渡しました)
I couldn't meet the dolphins, but I had a great time. Since I had been learning hula dancing, I was really happy that they danced hula on the boat. It was also nice that they kept the atmosphere lively while we were searching for dolphins, allowing us to enjoy our time on board. After coming out of the water, some people were shivering in the wind, so I was glad I borrowed a wetsuit, but it was a bit tight, and it became uncomfortable after spending a long time on the boat. I regretted not getting a larger size. I wonder if someone brought bananas on board? I'll try again next time.
イルカに会えなかったけれども…
楽しめました。
私は、フラダンスを習っていた事もあり、船上でフラダンスを踊ってくれたのは、嬉しかったです。
イルカにを探している間、船上で楽しい時間を過ごせるよう、盛り上げてくれたのも良かったです。
海から上がり、濡れた身体で風を受けると、寒く震えている方もいましたのでウエットスーツを借りて良かったですが…少しキツかったので、長い時間船上で過ごしていると苦しかったです。もうひとサイズあげてもらえば良かったと…少し後悔。
誰か、船上にバナナを持ち込んでいたのかしら?
次回も、チャレンジして見ます。
The weather was nice, and I was looking forward to it, but for some reason, I couldn't see any dolphins. The staff seemed a bit disappointed too. However, all the staff were very kind, and since they spoke Japanese, I was able to participate in the tour with peace of mind.
I will try again next time! Thank you!
お天気も良く、期待していましたが、なぜかイルカにあえませんでした。
スタッフの方も少しがっかりしてたようです。
でも、スタッフの方は、みんなやさしく、日本語も通じたので
安心してツアーに参加できました。
次回またチャレンジします!
ありがとうございました
I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide Justin was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate. It was fun, interesting and I enjoyed all the stops we went to, especially sunset beach. I highly recommend this tour.
I have joined the Captain Bob snorkel since the first time I went to Hawaii. It was so consistent every time. And this time we have a group of 11 people going and everyone has a good time even though the sandbar water level is a little bit high but the whole crew working on the boat are so sincere which makes a big difference on the atmosphere of the activity. Excellent
Loved the trip, went back again 2 days later. Will do it again next time we visit the islands!
I was the only one participating alone, surrounded by couples and families. I felt a bit lonely on the shuttle bus, but once I boarded, the staff greeted me, and my worries were dispelled! I was able to see dolphins and turtles safely! Additionally, I was able to see a monk seal, which is a rare sight. I'm grateful for the staff's thoughtfulness!
一人での参加は他におらず、周りはカップルとファミリーばかりでした。行き送迎バスで少し孤独を感じていましたが、いざ乗船するとスタッフの方々に声を掛けていただき、心配は払拭されました!無事、イルカ、カメにも会えました!それに滅多に見れないモンクシールも観ることができました。
スタッフの心配りに感謝です!
I challenged myself to swim with wild dolphins, but due to the cloudy weather, I only saw one far away. It was murky and hard to see, but I was glad to have encountered it. I did see a pod, but it was disappointing that I couldn't see them up close. I'm glad I had the unique experience of eating hamburgers and dancing.
野生のイルカと泳げるというので挑戦しましたが、曇りというのもあり一匹だけ遠くに見えました。濁っていてわかりにくかったですが、会えてよかったです。群れには会えたのですが近くで見れなかったのは残念でした。ハンバーガーを食べたり踊ったりなかなか出来ない体験が出来て良かったです。
It was my first experience at the sandbar. It was a bit cloudy, which was disappointing, but I was happy to be able to stand on the sandbar. I had fun eating sandwiches and taking pictures. I was able to take a lot of photos.
サンドバー初体験でした。少し曇っていたのが残念ですが、サンドバーに立てたことが嬉しかったです。サンドイッチ食べたり、写真取ってもらったり楽しかったー。写真もたくさん撮れました。
We enjoyed it so much, we came back 2 days later and enjoyed it again. We highly suggest it for anyone that visits the island. The Sandbar is a true hidden gem!
I participated with my 8-year-old son. We spotted a sea turtle swimming alongside the boat, and my son was overjoyed. Watching him sing a song to the turtle made me smile, and I truly felt that it was worth coming here. My son also said he wants to come back to see it again.
息子8歳と参加しました。船の横を並行して泳ぐウミガメを発見して、息子は、大はしゃぎ
でした。ウミガメを見ながらカメに向かってカメさんの歌を唄っている息子を見て
微笑ましくなり、来て良かったとつくづく実感しました。息子も又、逢いに来たいと
言ってました。
The phrase "Angel's Sea" is truly fitting! The scenery was just as beautiful as the name suggests.
The weather and tide play a significant role on the day of your visit. It was great to have a morning with water levels around calf height.
Searching for sea turtles is exhilarating! The boat is impressive, so it was fine to bring a non-waterproof camera.
The guide really pumped up the excitement, so I definitely want to go again!
天使の海とはよく言ったものだ!名前に負けない景色が楽しめました。
当日は天気と潮が関係します。ふくらはぎくらいの水位となる朝が良かったです。
海ガメ探しはテンション上がります!
船は立派なので防水でないカメラを持っていっても大丈夫でした。
ガイドさんが盛り上げてくれるのでまた行きたいです!
This is the second time I've taken this tour and it is a wonderful experience. However, be warned this is NOT a non-smoking tour which we only discovered this second time.
I enjoyed turtle watching, beach volleyball, and other activities that I don't usually get to do. The weather was a bit disappointing, but I had a great time playing and felt like a child again. The sound of the experienced old man's guitar was also fantastic!
亀のウォッチング、そして、ビーチバレーと普段できない遊びを楽しませていただきました。
天気は多少残念でしたが、童心に帰って楽しく遊ばせていただきました。
老練のおじさんのギター片手のサウンドも最高でした!!
I was able to see wild dolphins swimming in a pod for the first time. I also got to see sea turtles up close in the water... it was moving. The hamburger for lunch was delicious too!
The group I joined consisted entirely of Japanese customers. Perhaps because of that, a Japanese female crew member was there from the pickup, which made me feel at ease. I participated at the end of June, and since it was quite windy, I followed the advice of the Japanese female crew member and borrowed a wetsuit over my rash guard. As a result, the water temperature was comfortable, and I didn't feel too cold while on the boat.
By the way, it might be good to have a chamois towel (which you can use to wipe off most of the moisture and can be reused if you wring it out towards the sea) and a dry beach towel (to use as much as possible without getting wet, draping it over your back) with you. The air conditioning on the return bus is strong too...
初めて野生のイルカが群れをなして泳ぐところを見ることができました。ウミガメも海の中で、至近距離で見ることができ・・・感動。
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!
私が参加したグループは日本人のお客さんばかりでした。それもあってか?日本人女性のクルーがピックアップの時点からいてくださっていて、安心でした。
参加したのは6月末ですが、風が強かったこともあり、日本人女性クルーのアドバイスに従ってラッシュガードの上からさらにウェットスーツを借りて着ました。結果、海の水温もそれで心地よく、船上に上がっている時もあまり寒くありませんでした。
ちなみに、セームタオル一本(これで主な水分を拭き取る。海に向かって絞れればまた使えるので便利)と、乾いたビーチタオル(なるべく最後まで濡らさず背中にかけたりして使う)があると良いかもしれません。
帰りのバスも、冷房が強いですので・・・。
Beautiful location and no crowds. We loved having kayaks and paddleboards to use leisurely.
It was better than we had expected.
I had a great time playing volleyball at the sandbar and seeing sea turtles! The snorkeling was a bit different from what I imagined, maybe because it rained the day before?! The staff member was very energetic and friendly, and she took a lot of wonderful photos for us, which was great! The hamburger we had on the boat was very delicious! There are various tours available, but I'm glad I chose this one!!
サンドバーでバレーボールをしたり、
ウミガメを見たり、とてもたのしかったです!
シュノーケルは、想像とはちょっと違いましたが、
、前日に雨が降ったからかな?!
スタッフのお姉さんはとてもパワフルで、親しみやすく、素敵な写真をたくさん撮っていただいたり、よかったです!
船の上で食べたハンバーガーがとてもおいしかったです!
色んなツアー?がありますが、こちらのツアーにしてよかったです!!
I'm really glad I participated in this tour. I chose the plan with a Japanese-speaking guide, who was very kind, and kayaking was fun, with beautiful seas that were just amazing.
I had free time in the morning and kayaking in the afternoon. During the free time, I quickly rented a bike and headed to Lanikai Beach. It took about 10 minutes by bike from the kayak rental base, so I enjoyed cycling there. As expected, it was definitely much cleaner and clearer than Waikiki, with fine sand that made me think, "This is what a Hawaiian beach is all about!"
In the afternoon, after learning the basics of kayaking, I took the kayak out to sea. While the round trip might be challenging, kayaking was so much fun. Paddling to a deserted island with my wife was a great experience. We were also lucky enough to see seabirds and a sea turtle with the guide's explanations on the deserted island!
Since my wife wanted to go to Lanikai Beach (the "Heavenly Sea"), it was great that we could include it in this tour, making it a win-win situation.
Also, the pizza for lunch was delicious.
このツアーは参加して本当に良かったです。私が参加したのは日本語ガイド付きのプランでしたが、その方も親切でしたし、カヤックも楽しくて、海も綺麗で最高でした。
私は午前中が自由時間、午後がカヤックでした。午前の自由時間では、すぐに自転車を借りてラニカイビーチに向かいました。カヤックを借りる拠点から自転車で10分程度だったため、楽しくサイクリングしながら着きました。例に漏れずワイキキよりも断然綺麗で透き通ったビーチで、砂もサラサラで、これぞハワイのビーチ!と思わせる場所でした。
午後のカヤックも一通り操作を教えてもらったら、カヤックを連れて海へ。確かに往復のカヤック移動は大変かもしれませんが、それ以上にカヤックが楽しかったです。無人島まで奥さんと一緒に漕いだのは良い経験になりました。また無人島でもガイドさんの説明付きで、運が良かったのか海鳥?やウミガメも見れました!
奥さんが、「ラニカイビーチ(天国の海)」に行きたい!と言っていたので、このツアーで組み込めたので、一石二鳥でした。
あと、お昼ごはんはピザが美味しかったです。
Dear hk1226,
Thank you for your visit and your comments. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. It sounds like you were very lucky to see both turtles and seabirds during the kayaking tour. We all sincerely look forward to your next visit. Thank you very much.

I tried snorkeling for the first time at a sandbar known as the "Angel Sea." I'm not a great swimmer, and I felt nervous when the staff said, "Just think of it as training!" But I put on the snorkel and set off. The corals and fish I saw for the first time were so beautiful... and just as I was getting used to it, it was over. I had a bit of anxiety, but wearing a life jacket helped me float, and the staff was watching over us, so I'm glad I participated.
天使の海と謳われるサンドバーでのシュノーケリングに初挑戦しました
私はあまり泳げないし、スタッフの 訓練だと思ってください!の声に緊張してシュノーケルをつけていざ出発
初めて見る珊瑚と魚達…わー綺麗…と慣れてきた頃にお終いでした
少し不安もありましたが、ライフジャケットを着用すれば浮くしスタッフが見守ってくれてるので参加して良かったです
