All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

My wife and I went on a Thursday and had a wonderful time. There were two boats, one for English speaking people and one for Japanese speaking. When we got to the sandbar they tied the boats together and we explored the sandbar. My wife and I practiced or snorkeling skills and checked out our equipment, walked around the sandbar, and then played water volleyball. To my surprise, not many people wanted to play so my wife and I joined in. Our team consisted of us and 3 from the Japanese boat while the other team was 2 of the guides and 3 Japanese people. We may not have spoken the same language but it did remind me that laughter is a language we all share and speak. When we got back on the boat, we enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise and were serenaded by one of the guides. We then went looking for turtles on the way to reef (we saw 3). The reef was amazing and we saw a turtle and tons of fish. After snorkeling for about 30 minutes, it was time to head back. Our final treat was seeing the original Gilligan's Island on the way back to port. We have lasting memories and it was a great time.

I participated in a tour that included lunch. The water was quite deep, reaching up to my chest. People who joined in the morning said it wasn't that deep. There was a Japanese guide, so I felt reassured since I could communicate in Japanese. It gets really sunny, so sunscreen is a must. There is a toilet on the boat, but it was dirty, so I didn't want to use it. The wind was strong, and during lunch, plates and cups almost flew away, so most people ate inside. The hamburger for lunch was just average. The sea was beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles.

ランチ付の便で参加しました。
結構水深が深くて、胸までありました。
朝に参加した人はそんなに深くなかったと言っていました。
日本人のガイドの人がいたので、日本語が通じるし、安心です。
すごくやけるので、日焼け止めは必須です。
船の中にトイレはありますが、汚いので行きたくはなかったです。
風が強くて、ランチのときにお皿やコップが飛びそうになり、ほとんどの人は中で食べていました。
ランチのハンバーガーは普通かなって感じです。
海はキレイで海亀も見れました。

Although the weather on the day wasn't very good, I was able to see sea turtles and snorkeling was fun. The staff were kind and their conversations were entertaining! One point to note is that since you have to walk to the bus, if the weather is bad, I think it's a good idea to bring a folding umbrella and a long-sleeved jacket for changing.

当日天候はあまり良くなかったものの海ガメを見る事も出来たしシュノーケリングも楽しかったです。
スタッフの方々も優しくトークも面白かったです！
注意点は、バスまで歩くため天候が悪い場合、折り畳みガサと着替えに長袖の上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。

I was looking forward to walking on the sandbar, but it seems that sandbars are very rare.
I wouldn't recommend it for those who don't want to swim.
If the water had been knee-deep, I could have gone into the sea, but it was above my waist.
I was deceived by the photos and the promotional text.

砂州の上を歩くのをお楽しみにしていましたが、砂州が現れることはごく稀だそうです。
泳ぐ気が無い人にはお勧めしません。
水が膝下ぐらいだったら海にはいれたのですが、腰以上でした。
写真とうたい文句にだまされました。

The weather was unfortunately cloudy. The water level at the sandbar was about up to my waist, but I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays, making it a fun tour!

お天気はあいにくの曇。。 サンドバーはもも位までの水位でしたがウミガメ、マンタも見れて、楽しいツアーでした♪

Crew was fun and very encouraging to all that were new to snorkelling I was travelling on my own and I felt a part of the whole group. Loved seeing the turtles

Water was choppy so it made it difficult to ride. Some tips and spills. Will definitely need some upper body strength.

Of everything we did seeing the Arizona & USS Missouri was our favorite. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and courteous. We learned so much history and was just at awe to get to see Pearl Harbor!

Great adventure! Loved the crew, the sandbar, the BBQ and the snorkel. Highly recommend for families.

Jenner was awesome really made the adventure fun!!

I heard that the sandbar, which looks like something out of a magazine, can only be seen twice a month, so I was hopeful. However, when I went, it just felt like a shallow area, so it wasn't really enjoyable as a sandbar experience. Still, I think it's a spot worth visiting for some conversation starters when in Hawaii!

Later, during snorkeling, I got to see a big turtle and tropical fish, which was definitely much more fun. Haha! There were also Japanese staff members, so the conversations were enjoyable too!

サンドバーは雑誌に載ってるような感じになるのは月に２回しか見られないとのことだったので、運を信じましたが、行った日はただの浅瀬のような感じだったので、サンドバーを楽しむという感じではありませんでしたが、ハワイに行ったら話題作りのためにも行ったほうがいいスポットだと思います！
その後のシュノーケルで大きな亀と熱帯魚が見れたので、そっちの方が断然楽しかったです。笑
日本人のスタッフもいるので、トークも楽しくよかったです！

It was a bit cloudy on the day, but the way the guide took photos was perfect and really boosted my spirits. I was also glad to see sea turtles.

当日は曇り気味でしたが、案内してくれたお姉さんの写真の撮り方がバッチリでテンションあがりました。ウミガメも見ることができて、良かったです。

I have participated in other dolphin tours, but I felt that this tour was expensive and I should have chosen one of the more affordable options considering the content.

We bought a USB as a memento of our honeymoon, but there were really very few photos taken of us. The pictures taken from our seats on the boat mostly showed the boat's walls and the background scenery was lacking. Other groups had photos of themselves swimming in the ocean, but we didn't have any of those, which was really disappointing when we got back. Given that they said they wanted to take many photos of those who purchased the USB, I thought the number and quality of the photos were quite lacking. Moreover, the USB was expensive.

Even while swimming, we were told not to follow the cameraman, even though we were just swimming straight. It made me feel really uncomfortable, even though that wasn't our intention. When we were sitting on the edge of the boat, they were attentive to us, but they weren't paying attention to other groups of girls. They also guided us to indoor seats without mentioning that we could fit more people on the deck (those seats didn't allow us to see the surrounding scenery and were hot, making it hard to feel like we were on a cruise). I wish they had been a bit more considerate of everyone. Even though the Japanese guides might have been trying to be nice by saying things like "The sea is beautiful!" or "You seem a bit down," from our perspective, it felt a bit insensitive and lacking in consideration.

However, the crew that joined us locally was cheerful and considerate, which made it a lot of fun. The dolphins swam right next to us and below us, which was magical. We could hear their calls, and it was moving.

So, I think there are people who will enjoy this tour and those who won't. Especially since it was our honeymoon. We didn't have any photos underwater that we were looking forward to as mementos, nor any fun photos taken from the deck. Haha. I also felt that the guide's attitude was not very favorable, and while we did get to swim with the dolphins, I think I will use another tour next time.

他のイルカツアーに参加した事もありますが、このツアーは価格も高いし、内容も含めて他のもっと価格を抑えたツアーを選べばよかったと思いました。
新婚旅行の記念にusbを買ったけど、私たちを撮ってくれた写真は本当に少なく、船の座った席で撮った写真はバックの景色も船の壁ばかりで、他のグループは海で泳いでる写真もあったのに、私たちのものはなく帰ってきてみて、スゴくがっかりしました。
usb購入した人を多く撮りたいと言っていただけに、あまりにもな写真の数と内容だなと思いました。しかも、usb高い。
泳いでるときも、まっすぐ泳いでいただけなのにカメラマンの人についてこないでと言われて、そのつもりもないのにすごく気分が悪かった。
船の縁に座っていたときも私たちには注意していたのに、他の女の子のグループには注意していなかったり、もっとつめれば座れるデッキの席も何も言わず屋内の席に誘導したり（その席は周りの景色も見えないし暑く、クルーズしてる気分には到底なれない）、もう少し全員に配慮してくれればいいのになと思いました。また、屋内の席にいるのに海が綺麗だよーとか元気ないねーとか日本語ガイドさん達も気を利かせていっていたのかもしれないけど、
こっちの立場からすれば、ちょっと無神経で言葉にも配慮がないのかなと感じてしまいました。
しかし、現地合流のクルーは陽気で気を使ってくれたりと、とても楽しかったです。
イルカもすぐ横や下を泳いでいて幻想的。鳴き声も聞こえて感動しました。

なので、このツアーに合う人と合わない人がいると思います。
新婚旅行だったので尚更。記念に楽しみにしていた海の中での写真も無く、デッキから撮った楽しそうな写真もなく。笑
何となくガイドさんの態度も好感が持てず、イルカと泳げたからまあいっかというくらいで、
次回は他のツアーを利用すると思います。

Wonderful experience. Disappointed that we didn't get to go on memorial due to maintenance but overall loved it. Bus driver should get a raise. My favorite part of whole week there was listening to her talk about the culture and her family. Loved it.

The tour was excellent! Our driver Michael was very knowledgeable and pointed out plenty of landmarks. Adequate time was allotted for each part of the tour. Highly recommended!!

If you're going to Oahu, you definitely want to visit the sandbar! There were various tour companies, but I made a reservation here after seeing the good reviews. I read in the reviews that the bus could be cold, so I wore a long-sleeve hoodie, and it was just right! The sea was about knee-deep since I checked the interference time for that day. It seems it wasn't the time of year when you could see the sand, but I was very satisfied with this! However, it was a bit windy, so the sandbar might be a little chilly for the ladies. After that, I got to eat a hamburger, and it was so delicious! They grilled the patty for you, and you could add your favorite toppings to make your burger! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but it was tasty! I also got to see sea turtles during the watching session and took some great photos! The tour guide was super funny, and it turned out to be more than I expected! During the last snorkeling session, we moved to a spot with deeper coral. They explained everything carefully, and even though I’m quite scared, I was able to swim with the beautiful fish in the sea. After getting out of the water early, there was a lovely warm drink service, which was great! I was able to chat and bond with the other participants, and I'm really glad I joined! The tour guide was fun and a great person! Mahalo! It was a bit cold, but definitely worth swimming!

オアフ島に行くならサンドバーに行きたい！と思い、いろんなツアー会社がありましたが、口コミが良いのを見てこちらで予約しました。口コミにバスの中が寒いと書いてあったので、長袖のパーカーを羽織っていきましたが、ちょうど良かったです！海はその日の干渉時間を調べて行ったので、膝下くらい。砂が見えるところまではいかない時期だったらしいので、これで大満足♡でも風がありちょっとサンドバーは女子には寒いかも？そのあとハンバーガーを食べさせてもらったのですが、それが美味しすぎ！ハンバーグを焼いてくれていて、好きな具を挟んでハンバーガーに！正直期待していなかったのですが、美味しかった！ウミガメウォッチングでもばっちし見れて写真も撮れました！添乗員の方がすっごく面白くて思っていた以上のツアーになりました！最後のシュノーケリングでは、少し深い珊瑚のある所へ移動します。丁寧に説明もしてくださり、すごく怖がりの私も海の素敵な魚とたくさん泳ぐことができました。
早めに海から上がると嬉しい暖かいドリンクサービスがありました♡
他の参加者の方とも仲良くお話出来て、本当に参加して良かった！添乗員の方がみんな楽しく良い人でした！mahalo！
少し寒いですが、泳ぐ価値あり！

When we departed, the weather was bad and very cold, but we were able to see sea turtles from the boat. By the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had improved, and we enjoyed beautiful scenery. Since the weather in Hawaii can change quickly, it's good to have a light jacket. Although it was a short tour, we had ample time for snorkeling and taking photos, and we were able to return to the hotel for lunch, making effective use of our time. The staff were very high-energy, which made it enjoyable.

出発のときは天気が悪くてとても寒かったですが、ウミガメを船の上から見れて、サンドバーに着く頃は天気も回復し、きれいな景色を堪能できました。ハワイは天気が変わりやすいので羽織ものがあるといいですね。短いツアーですがシュノーケリングの時間、写真撮影の時間をしっかり取ってもらえた上にランチタイムにはホテルに帰ってこられたので時間を有効活用できました。スタッフの方がとてもハイテンションで楽しめました。

There were two boats, one for Japanese speakers and one for English speakers. Since there were many Japanese participants, we boarded the English-speaking boat. The sea was very clear and beautiful. We could see swimming sea turtles from the boat, and we encountered a sea turtle while snorkeling and were able to swim together. It was much larger than I had imagined from the boat. The sandbar also had water at knee height, so we enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately, there were many Korean tourists on the English-speaking boat who did not understand English, leading to several instances of poor etiquette, such as standing on the coral while snorkeling. If there are many Koreans on board, it might be better to provide the rules in Korean as well.

船２隻で日本語と英語の分かれ、参加日は日本人が多かったので、私たちは英語の船に乗り込みました。海はとてもクリアで綺麗でした。船からも泳ぐウミガメが見れましたが、シュノーケルのときにウミガメに遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができました。船から見て想像していたよりもとても大きかったです。サンドバーも膝下位の水位だったので、堪能できました。残念なことは、韓国人の観光客も多く、英語の船に乗っていましたが、英語を理解できていなかったので、シュノーケルの際に珊瑚の上に立ったりとマナー違反が多数ありました。韓国人も多く乗船するのならば、韓国語でルール等を記載したほうが良いのでは？

I checked the low tide times in advance and made a reservation. The weather was bad, but the water was really at about ankle height. I was able to see sea turtles up close, and I could go snorkeling as well. The staff were all nice people, and it was a lot of fun.

事前に干潮時間を調べて予約しました。
天気は悪かったけど、本当に海がくるぶしぐらいのとこになっていました。
ウミガメも間直で見られたし、シュノーケリングもできたし、スタッフはみんな良い人で楽しかったです。

The guide's talk and service were great, and I was very satisfied with the abundant content. The freshly made hamburger and the warm hot chocolate were both delicious and a nice treat for my chilled body. But above all, swimming with the turtles was the best!

ガイドさんのトークもサービスも良かったし、盛りだくさんの内容で大満足でした。焼きたてのハンバーガーも、冷えた身体に嬉しい温かいホットチョコレートも、美味しかったです。でもなんといってもカメと泳げた事がサイコーでした。

The sandbar is a place where a white beach appears due to the ebb and flow of the tide, so it's important to check the low and high tides in advance. On the day I participated, I chose a perfect day after checking beforehand, and the water was only up to my ankles, making it very beautiful. According to a friend who had been there before, the water was up to their waist, and they couldn't see the typical white beach at all. Therefore, it's crucial to research the timing in advance. The tour itself was enjoyable, as there was a guide who spoke Japanese and shared various stories.

サンドバーは潮の満ち引きにより白浜が出現する場所なので、事前に干潮満潮を調べる事が重要です。
私が参加した日は、事前に調べておいてばっちりな日を選んだので、足首の辺りまで海水があるくらいでとてもキレイでした。以前に行った事がある友人の話を聞くと、腰の辺りまで海水があり、よく見るような白浜は全然見れなかったようです。なので、時期を事前に調べる事が重要だとおまいました。
ツアー自体は、日本語が話せるガイドさんもいて色んなはなしもしてくれたのでとても楽しめました。

I attended alone because my daughter is pregnant. The weather was cloudy, and unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandbar as shown in the photos, but we enjoyed snorkeling and had a great time. I recommend bringing something to wear because it gets cold when you get back on the boat.

娘が妊娠中のため、一人で参加させていただきました。
天気が曇りで、残念ながら写真のようなサンドバーは見れませんでしたが、シュノーケリングをしたり、楽しみました。
船に上がった際はさむくなるので、羽織るものを持っていくことをお勧めします。

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful. The white sand stretched on endlessly, and the water was only knee-deep, making it very comfortable. Initially, it felt like we could do anything, like banana boating or beach volleyball, but in the end, only a few people played beach volleyball. The hamburgers for lunch were freshly grilled on the spot, so they were delicious. We moved on to the next spot, but I wasn't able to see any sea turtles. Instead, I saw other beautiful tropical fish. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit unstable, and the water was slightly murky, which made me too scared to dive.

サンドバーはすごく綺麗でした。
白い砂がずーっと続いていて海水も膝ぐらいしかなくとても快適でした。最初の説明ではバナナボートやビーチバレー何でもどうぞという感じでしたが結果ビーチバレーを一部の方だけでしていました。
お昼のハンバーガーはその場で焼いて作ってくれましたので美味しかったです。
次のポイントに行きましたが私はウミガメは見れませんでした。その代わり他の熱帯魚のような綺麗な魚が見れました。ちょっと天候も安定してなかったせいか海も少しにごっていて潜るのが怖くて潜れなかったのが、残念です。

I practiced snorkeling and took photos at the sandbar, ate a hamburger, and went turtle watching, then snorkeled around the coral. There were many turtles at my feet! It was fun!

サンドバーでシュノーケルの練習や写真撮影などし、ハンバーガー食べてウミガメウォッチングした後サンゴの周りでシュノーケル^_^
足元にウミガメが沢山いました！
楽しかったです！

The activity was well worth the price as my nephew is a history buff an enjoyed the tour.. There was just one problem, two of the elevators were down on the USS Missouri and my nephew was on crutches and he could not cover the whole ship. My nephew still happy and enjoyed the tour guides knowledge.

I was worried about the bad weather at departure, but when we arrived at the sandbar, the weather was refreshing! The water was up to my waist, but I was very satisfied with the beautiful sea. If I could wish for anything, it would be for a longer snorkeling time.

出発時天気が悪く心配でしたが、サンドバーへ着けば清々しい天気に！
海面は腰位までありましたが、綺麗な海に大満足です。
欲を言えばもう少しシュノーケルの時間が長ければ良かったです。

It's a popular tour, so both the bus and the boat were crowded. I think this tour works because Japanese people are polite and don't complain. (≧∇≦) The snorkeling time is a bit short. The sandbar has no living creatures, so we just enjoyed the sky and the sea and took photos. We had water up to our waists during high tide. I wish the price for the high tide tour was lower. The description is tricky, as it seems to imply that both breakfast and BBQ are included, depending on the departure time. We did see sea turtles, and the hamburgers were big, but the snorkeling was geared towards beginners, which was disappointing. ~_~; I would like to see a tour that properly introduces marine life.

人気のツアーなので、バスも船も混み混みで、行儀よく不満を言わない日本人だから成立するツアーかな。（≧∇≦）
シュノーケル時間は短めです。サンドバーは生き物がいないので、空と海を味わいお写真だけ。私達は満潮時で腰まで水が有りました。満潮時のツアーは料金を下げて欲しいです。出発時間によって朝食かBBQなのが、両方付いているみたいな表記がトリッキーです。海亀さんも見られましたし、ハンバーガーも大きいですが、シュノーケルは初心者向けでがっかり。~_~;
しっかり海の生物と楽しむツアーの紹介が欲しいところです。

We participated as a family of four. It was fully booked. Unfortunately, the area with white sand was submerged in the water, making it feel like we were at a sandbar, but the colors of the sky and sea were beautiful, and we were able to see sea turtles quite closely. The burgers, which were grilled to perfection, were very delicious.

家族4人で参加しました。定員いっぱいでした。あいにく白い砂のところは海面につかっていて
ここがサンドバーなのかという感じでしたが、空と海の色は美しく、ウミガメにも結構そばで
あえました。じっくりやいてくれたバーガーはとてもおいしいものでした。

Although we were past the departure time, we waited for about 20 minutes. The sandbar was beautiful enough to see from a distance, but it was deeper than I had imagined, with a depth of about 100 cm. Also, the water temperature was surprisingly low. The sea turtle watching was a bit far away, and I was unlucky. During snorkeling, I got stung by a jellyfish and had to give up halfway; I wanted to enjoy it a bit more. There were others who got stung as well. I'm not sure if it was because of that or if the captain just liked me, but I was lucky to be allowed to steer the boat on the way back. The view from the prime seat was great.

出発時間を過ぎているのに、20分くらいは待たされた。サンドバーは遠目から見てもわかるほど綺麗だったが、想像していたよりも深く、水深100cmくらいはあった。あと水温が意外と低い。ウミガメウォッチングはちょっと遠くて、運が悪かった。シュノーケリングではクラゲに刺されて途中で断念し、もう少し楽しみたかった。他にも刺されている人がいた。そのこともあってなのか、船長に気に入られたからなのかは不明だが、帰りに操縦をさせて貰えたのはラッキーだった。特等席からの景色は良かった。

We participated as a family of five. It was very enjoyable and became the best memory. The only downside was that the sandbar was not visible above the water and was submerged.

家族5人で参加しました。
とても楽しく最高の思い出になりました。
ちょっと残念なのはサンドバーが海上に見えず水中に沈んでいたことです。
