All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

When we went, the wind was strong and it was really cold (laughs), but we got to see sea turtles and the sandbar was beautiful, so we had a great time! I bought a waterproof camera for snorkeling, but the visibility was lower than I expected, so I couldn't take nice photos (´･ω･`). Even with just a morning plan, we enjoyed it a lot!

私達が行ったときは、風が強くめちゃくちゃ寒かったですが（笑）ウミガメも見れたし、サンドバーも綺麗だったし楽しかったです！
シュノーケルは、防水カメラを買って挑んだものの予想より透明度が低く、綺麗な写真は撮れませんでした(´･ω･`) 午前のみのプランでも全然楽しめました！

The weather wasn't great, but overall it was just okay. If you want to go snorkeling, it's much better to go to Hanauma Bay on your own; you'll see a lot more fish and can swim at your own pace. The BBQ was just an over-the-top hamburger meal. The staff was friendly, though.

天気に恵まれなかったのもありますが、全体的に微妙。
シュノーケリングをしたいのならハナウマ・ベイに自分で行ったほうが全然魚も見れるし、自分のペースで泳げます。
BBQっていうのもoverなハンバーガー食です。
スタッフは好感持てました。

I went snorkeling to see sea turtles, but there were too many people, so I couldn't move forward very well, and before I knew it, it was time to return to the boat. What a shame.

うみがめを見るためにスノーケルだったのですが、人が多すぎたため、なかなか前に進むことができず、気づいたころにはボートに戻る時間でした。
残念。

I participated in the early morning plan with a friend. The guide was a local Japanese woman who was lively and fun. However, the water was cold, and I was surprised as soon as I got in. The sandbar was about knee-deep at its shallowest point. The sea had a beautiful gradient of blue! When I got out of the water, I was shivering from the cold (laughs), although my friend and the others around didn't seem to be as affected. On the boat, the foreign male staff and the female guide took photos and were very considerate, which made me happy. The light snack was something like a ham and cheese sandwich. It was cold, so I wished I could have something warm, but it couldn't be helped. Next time, I want to go during a warmer season at low tide!

友人と2人で早朝プランに参加しました。
ガイドさんは現地の日本人の女性でノリが良く楽しかったです。
ただ水は冷たかったです。入った瞬間びっくりでした。サンドバーは一番浅いところで膝下くらいだったと思います。海はキレイな青のグラデーションでした！
海から上がったら私は寒すぎて震えていました（笑）友人や周りの方はそこまでではなさそうでしたが…。
船の中では外人の男性スタッフや女性ガイドさんが写真を撮ってくれたり色々気遣ってくれて嬉しかったです。
軽食はハムチーズサンドのようなものでした。寒かったので温かいものが食べたかったですが仕方がないですね。
今度は暖かい時期で干潮の時に行きたいです！

I went there for the sandbar. It was very beautiful and about knee-deep. I had plenty of time and was able to enjoy it slowly. I was able to see turtles in the distance. Snorkeling was fun, but it was cold. It was helpful to have warm drinks available.

サンドバー目当てで行きました。
とてもキレイでした。膝くらいの高さでした。
時間も十分にあり、ゆっくり楽しめました。
カメも遠くの方でみることができました。
シュノーケルも楽しかったですが、寒かったです。
暖かい飲み物もあり助かりました。

The sandbar was deeper than I expected, but the color of the ocean was beautiful, allowing me to fully enjoy the essence of Hawaii. The guide took some photos, and they turned out great, making for wonderful memories. There weren't many fish while snorkeling, but I had a lot of fun being in the water. I don't think individuals would be able to reach the deeper parts of the ocean by boat, so I recommend making good use of the tour.

サンドバーは思っていたより水の深さがありましたが、海の色はとても綺麗で、ハワイらしさを満喫することができました。
ガイドの方が写真を撮ってくださりそれが最高の写り具合で、とても良い思い出になりました。
シュノーケリングはあまり魚がいなかったですが、海に入れたことが楽しかったです。
個人だと船で海の中までくることはないと思うので、ツアーをうまく活用することをおすすめします。

When I stood on the sandbar, it was very beautiful! However, unfortunately, it seems that the sea was unusually rough since the day before, and the water was murky, making it hard to see the turtles. The snorkeling was also cloudy, so I couldn't see many fish. (;^_^A

サンドバーに立ったときは、とてもキレイでした！
でも残念ながら、前日から珍しく海が荒れたらしく、水が濁っててカメもなかなか見えず、シュノーケルも濁ってて魚があまり見えませんでした(;^_^A

The weather was bad and it was raining, but I was very satisfied to see sea turtles and fish. However, due to the weather, it was extremely cold, and everyone was shivering. The crew was very kind, providing warm coffee and cocoa, and they took a lot of photos for us. I would like to go again when the weather is nice.

天気が悪く雨が降っていたのですが、ウミガメも魚も見れて大満足でした。
ただ、天候のせいもあって、めちゃくちゃ寒く、みんなガタガタ震えていました。
クルーの人達が暖かいコーヒーやココアを入れてくれたり、とても親切で、写真もたくさん撮ってくれました。天気の良い時にまた行きたいです。

The sandbar needs no introduction. It was just too beautiful! We were lucky to see sea turtles, and we enjoyed snorkeling as well. Above all, the burgers made by the captain were exquisite! The seasoning was perfect, and I want to go back just to have another burger.

If you're planning to get off at the sandbar to take photos, it's best to have waterproof gear (like covers or underwater-friendly items) to avoid any worries! Also, if you want to change clothes on the way back, you can do so in the boat's restroom, so I recommend bringing a change of clothes. For those who don’t bring a change, a bath towel borrowed from a hotel is essential (you can use it to sit on the bus seats).

The staff are also entertaining, so I highly recommend it.

サンドバーはもう説明不要かと思います。もう綺麗過ぎました！
ウミガメもタイミング良く見れましたし、シュノーケリングも楽しめました。
そして何よりもキャプテンが作ってくれるハンバーガーが絶品でした！
塩加減も絶妙でハンバーガーを食べにまた行きたい位です。

あとは、サンドバーに降りて写真などを撮るのであれば
防水対策(カバーや水中対応の物)した物があれば心配無し！
また、服装は帰りに着替えたい人は船のトイレでも着替え可能ですので
持参をお勧めします。着替えを持って行かない方は
ホテルなどで貸してもらえるバスタオルは必須です。(バスの座席に座る際に敷きます)

スタッフの方も面白いので、お勧めです。

My group contained four total myself, husband, sister and her husband. We loved it! I had difficulties in the beginning but was able to get the hang of it after a little while. I wasn't able to go to the total depth due to my ears, but still it was worth it for me. We saw coral reefs and lots a fish. Turtles were in the area just not seen by our group. On the way to our snuba location we were able to see a few whales breech the surface. The crew on the boat were great and the lunch was delicious. They offered Pork, Chicken sandwiches, fresh fruit and chips. It was rough seas and the boat ride was smooth sailing. Overall rating is 4.5 stars. Whish we could see more whales and see dolphins.

It was a beautiful sandbar. With my husband's guidance, I practiced snorkeling at about knee-deep water, and it was perfect. I was able to see the fish and coral beautifully, and I’m satisfied that I mastered snorkeling. Unfortunately, it became cloudy in the afternoon, and the sea looked dark and chilly. I just wished for the sun to come out. My husband was a bit disappointed because he thought the BBQ would have ribs to bite into. I thought the burger was delicious. It was a great memory for our anniversary trip after 30 years, enjoying the sea in Hawaii.

綺麗な砂洲でした。膝位で主人の指導でシュノーケリングの練習にばっちりでした。魚なや珊瑚が綺麗に見られシュノーケリングをマスター出来私自身満足しています。午後から雲が多く肌寒く海が暗く残念でした。太陽出てと願うばかり。主人がBBQはリブとかかぶりつけると思っていたので少し残念だと。私はバーガーおいしかった。30年ぶりの旧婚旅行　ハワイの海で楽しめていい思い出になりました。

The sandbar appears on the surface due to the tides, and it seems that it can only be accessed at night on the day of the full moon. The sea was beautiful, and I walked as far as I could while taking photos. On the way to the snorkeling point, I saw many sea turtles and made a wish. After entering the water for snorkeling, I spotted a sea turtle in a coral nook! We locked eyes and swam together. I was told not to touch them, so I didn't, but the sea turtle swam so close that I could almost reach out! It was truly moving! This was my first experience like this. Just thinking about it brings back such a happy feeling.

サンドバーが表層に現れるのは月の満ち引きとかで当日なら夜でないとダメらしかったけど、海はきれいで、どこまでも歩いていけて写真をとりました。シュノーケルのポイントにいくまでに沢山の海亀を見て、願い事をしました。シュノーケルで海に入ってしばらくしたら珊瑚の窪みに海亀が！目が合い、見つめあって海亀と一緒に泳ぎました。触ったらダメと言われてたので触らなかったけど、本当に近く　触れるところを海亀が泳いで！感動！！こんな体験は始めてです。思い出すと幸せな気分がよみがえります。

I researched optional tours online in Japan beforehand! Choosing the major Veltra tour was definitely the right decision! There were Japanese staff members, so I think Japanese people can enjoy it without any trouble! The BBQ hamburger for lunch was delicious too! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a turtle that was over a meter long up close! The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I highly recommend this reasonably priced tour!

事前に日本でネットでオプショナルツアーについてリサーチしました！
やはりメジャーなveltraのツアーにして正解でした！
日本人のスタッフもいて、日本人も困ることなく十分に楽しめると思います！
ランチのＢＢＱハンバーガーも美味かったですよ！
シュノーケリングでは運良く１メートル以上あるカメを間近に見ることができました！サンドバーはめちゃくちゃきれいで、リーズナブルなツアーでオススメします！

I participated with the intention of visiting the sandbar, but it seems that landing on the beach is only possible at limited times. That was a bit disappointing, but I was happy to see many sea turtles while snorkeling. The hamburger was also delicious.

サンドバー目当てで参加しましたが、砂浜に上陸できるのは、限られた時だけなのですね。
そこは少し残念でしたが、ウミガメがたくさん見られて、シュノーケリングしながらも見られて嬉しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。

I have visited Hawaii several times, but this was the most beautiful ocean I have ever seen. The water was about knee-deep that day, but it sparkled beautifully in the sunlight. I encountered many sea turtles, which made me feel so happy. The staff were also fun, and it became a wonderful memory.

ハワイには何度か訪れていますが、こんなに美しい海は初めてです。この日は膝くらいの深さでしたが、とにかく太陽の日差しでキラキラ輝き美しかったです。海亀にもたくさん遭遇して、幸せな気分になりました。スタッフの皆さんも楽しくて良い思い出になりました。

Since we came all the way to Hawaii, my daughter (6 years old) and I participated in the activity together. To be honest, my daughter was a bit scared of the ocean and was feeling anxious, but thanks to the kind and attentive staff, we were able to fully enjoy the experience. By the end, she had completely warmed up to it.

Turtles appeared multiple times, coming right up close to the boat and poking their heads out. Even small children could see them with the naked eye. We were even lucky enough to see a manta ray, which made my daughter very excited! At the sandbar, the water was waist-deep when moving from the boat, which was a bit deep and made her scared, but we were able to see crabs and fish, and by the end, she was practicing putting her face in the water with a snorkel on.

When we got back a little early, the staff happened to be feeding the fish, and my daughter got to participate, which was a great experience for her.

Just a note for those bringing small children... The air conditioning on the bus is quite strong both going and returning. Especially on the way back, since there’s no place to change, depending on the age, I think it’s better to have them change quickly. For the trip there, I had my daughter wear a dress over her swimsuit, but just in case, I brought an extra set of underwear, so on the way back, I had her change out of her swimsuit and wear the dress with her underwear. I also wrapped her in a larger towel that I brought as a blanket. As expected, she fell into a deep sleep, so I was relieved that I didn’t have to worry about her catching a cold!

せっかくハワイに来たのだから、と娘（6歳）と二人で参加しました。実を言うと、海が少し怖い娘は、内心ビクビクしていましたが、現地のスタッフの方々の優しく、細やかなお心づかいのおかげで満喫できました。最後はすっかりなついていました。
カメは何度も姿を現し、船のすぐ近くまできて頭をだしてくれます。小さなか子でも肉眼で確認できました。珍しくマンタまで見れて娘はおおはしゃぎ！サンドバーでは船から移動するときは水深が腰まであり、少し深いので怖がりましたが、蟹や魚も見れて、最後にはシュノーケルをつけて顔を海につける練習までしていました。
少し早めにあがると、たまたまスタッフの方が魚に餌付けしており、娘もさせていただき、よい経験になりました。
ひとつだけ小さなお子さんをお連れの方へ…行も帰りもバスの冷房はしっかりかかっております。特に帰りは着替える場所がないので、年齢にもよりますが、ぱっと着替えさせてあげたほうがいいと思います。娘には行きはワンピース＋水着の恰好でいかせましたが、念のため、と下着をもっていったので、帰りは水着をぬがし、ワンピース＋下着で帰らせました。そして1枚多めにもっていった大きめのバスタオルを毛布がわりに包み込みました。案の定、爆睡したので風邪をひく心配をひとつ削れましたよ～～

This is definitely an activity you must do when staying in Hawaii for the first time. If you don't go, you'll be missing out. Unfortunately, I experienced bad weather partway through, but the guide was very friendly, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I highly recommend everyone to go!

とりあえず、ハワイに初めて滞在したら必ず行かなきゃいけないアクティビティです。
行かない方は損です。
私はあいにく途中から悪天候でしたが、ガイドさんも凄く気さくな方で、素晴らしい経験になりました。
皆様是非行かれてください

We participated in a tour for our honeymoon! Our impression is that we are very satisfied! The staff were friendly and we had a really fun time! The hamburgers we ate on the boat were exceptional! When I asked the staff to take pictures with my phone, they took many photos from various angles and poses, and we were able to keep a lot of beautiful pictures! It became an unforgettable memory for both of us! Thank you very much!

ハネムーンでツアーに参加させていただきました！感想はとても満足です(^^)/スタッフのみなさんもフランクでとても楽しい時間でした～！船の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別ですね♪♪
スタッフさんに携帯で写メを頼んだら色んな角度やポーズで何枚も撮っていただき綺麗な写真が沢山残せました～！夫婦共に忘れられない思い出になりました！ありがとうございました！

I was looking forward to the sandbar, but the weather was cloudy and there was strong wind, making the sea very cold. It would be a good idea to bring extra beach towels for when you come out of the water. There were many participants, and we could choose between a boat with only Japanese people or a mixed boat with foreigners! We chose to ride with the foreigners, so we were able to enjoy English conversation with the family sitting next to us. It was great that we could also see the sea turtles.

楽しみにしていたサンドバーですが、天候は曇りで強風の為海は非常に寒かったです。
海から上がってきた時のバスタオルなども多めに用意しておいた方が良さそうです。
参加者が多く日本人だけの船と外国人と混合の船が選べました！私達は外国人の方々と乗る船を選んだ為、隣に座った御家族と英会話も楽しみながら乗ることが出来ました。
ホヌも見ることが出来たので良かったです。

In October, the seawater in Hawaii was indeed cold, and it was windy and chilly, but we were able to see sea turtles, which made the family very happy.

１０月のハワイの海水は、さずがにつめいたく、風があり寒かったが、ウミガメを見れて、家族が喜んでいました。

I applied for the sandbar tour knowing that the tide conditions weren't great. The weather was bad, so it was just a shallow area. I could only see the sea turtles' heads popping up for air from a distance, and I couldn't tell if they were turtles or something else. The snorkeling was also disappointing due to the cloudy sky, which affected visibility. Since time was limited, I couldn't enjoy it. This time, there were two boats, but because there were many Japanese participants, we were forced to separate into groups of Japanese and others, which created a situation where only Japanese people were present, and that was unfortunate.

サンドバーは、潮目もあまり良くないのは承知で申し込みました。
天気が悪かったので、ただの浅瀬でした。
ウミガメは、遠くから、息継ぎで頭が出るのが見える程度。カメなのか何なのか分かりませんでした。
シュノーケリングも、曇り空だったので、透明度も悪くイマイチ。時間も限られていたので、楽しめませんでした。
今回、ボート２艘でしたが、日本人参加者が多かったこともあり、強制的に、日本人とその他の国で分けられ、日本人しかいない状況を作られたのも残念でした。

I went in February, but it seemed that the air conditioning on the bus from the meeting point to the port couldn't be turned off, so it was really cold. A jacket is a must!! It's definitely better to use the restroom before you go.

We departed from the port by boat. First up was turtle watching! There were more than I expected. I think it was about 15 minutes, and we saw around 10 turtles!

Then we arrived at the sandbar. It was beautiful, as expected!! Everyone got off to the beach and took photos freely. The staff were great and took lots of pictures for us. Since it was cold in February, a rash guard or similar jacket is necessary!

Next was snorkeling. I thought I wouldn't like using a snorkel set that others had used, but it was clean as it had been soaked in chlorinated water! After listening to the staff's explanation, we all set off together. There were a lot of participants, so you had to be careful not to bump into the person in front of you. If you moved slowly, you might bump into the person behind you. But we saw beautiful fish! After one round, snorkeling was over.

When we returned to the boat, each person was rinsed with fresh water to easily wash off the saltwater. Then sandwiches and juice were served. They were quite tasty.

And then we got back on the cold bus to return, and that was the end!

Overall, it was a satisfying experience.

2月に行きましたが、集合場所から港までのバスの冷房が止められないらしく、とっても寒かったです。上着は必須です！！行く前には絶対にトイレに行っておいた方が良いです。
港から船で出発。まずはウミガメウォッチング！思った以上にいます。15分程度だったと思いますが、10匹くらいは見れました！
そして、サンドバーに到着。やっぱりきれい！！それぞれ砂浜に降りて、自由に写真を撮ったり。良いスタッフさんでバシバシ写真撮ってくれます。2月だと寒いので、ラッシュガードなどの上着が必要です！
次にシュノーケリング。人が使ったシュノーケルセットは嫌だと思っていましたが、塩素の入った水に漬けられていてきれいでした！スタッフさんの説明を聞いて、みんなで出発。参加者がたくさんいて、気をつけないと前の人にぶつかる。とろとろしてると後ろの人にぶつかる。でも、きれいな魚見れましたよ！1往復したらシュノーケリング終了。
船に戻ると、一人ひとり真水を頭からかけてくれて塩水を簡単にすすげます。それからサンドイッチとジュースが出されます。普通においしかったです。
で、また寒いバスに乗って帰って終了！
とにかく、満足いくものでした。

The long-awaited sandbar! It was really beautiful, although it was disappointing that the water was up to my knees at high tide and I couldn't see the sandy beach. The guide was also a fun person, which made it enjoyable.

The light snack was a simple sandwich made with ham and cheese in bread.

I made some wonderful memories.

念願のサンドバー！
満潮で膝くらいまで水があって砂浜がみれなかったのが残念でしたが本当に綺麗でした。ガイドさんも面白いかたで楽しかったです。
軽食はサンドイッチで食パンにハムとチーズがはさんである簡易なものでした。

楽しい思い出ができました。

The wind was strong and there were waves, so it was tough, but the scenery was beautiful and I enjoyed it, and I also learned about kayaking. The pizza for lunch was delicious, and the departure and arrival were on time. I would like to participate again if I have the chance.

風が強く、波もあったので大変でしたが、景色が綺麗で楽しめましたし、カヤックについての勉強にもなりました。
お昼のピザも美味しかったし、発着も時間通りで、また機会があれば参加したいです。

This was my first time participating.
It was very beautiful and moving!
The hamburger for lunch was also delicious.
However, it was quite cold due to the strong wind, so a jacket is a must.

If I have the chance, I definitely want to go again!
Thank you for taking so many photos!

今回初めて参加しました。
とても綺麗で感動しました！
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
ただ、風が強かったので、結構寒かったです。上着は必須です。

また、機会があれば絶対行きたいです！
写真もいっぱい撮ってくださりありがとうございます！

I was very satisfied to see both. The shaking was less than I expected, and it felt nice. My two- and four-year-old daughters were also excited. All the guides spoke English. Breakfast included muffins, and lunch consisted of sandwiches. The air conditioning on the shuttle bus from the hotel was strong, so it's a good idea to sunbathe on the boat to dry off while returning in your swimsuit. By the way, I requested a date change over the phone the day before due to our circumstances, and they kindly agreed.

両方見られて大満足でした。思ったほど揺れは少なく気持ち良かったです。二歳四歳の娘達もはしゃいでいました。ガイドはみな英語でした。朝ごはんはマフィンなど、ランチはサンドイッチなどでした。ホテルからの送迎バス内が冷房強く、水着のまま帰るので船上で日光浴して乾かしておくと◎。ちなみに、前日にこちらの都合で電話で日にち変更をお願いしましたが、快諾していただけました。

I was in Hawaii in the second half of January. I had booked this tour as my main highlight, but unfortunately, the weather was bad only that morning during my stay. The water was cold, but I managed to take photos in the shallow areas. It was so much fun snorkeling while chasing the cute tropical fish. The burgers grilled right in front of me were juicy and very delicious, and the cocoa after coming out of the sea was perfect for my chilled body. I definitely want to try again when the weather is sunny.

1月後半のハワイでした。一番の楽しみでこのツアーを予約してたのですが、滞在中この日の午前中だけお天気が悪くてちょっと残念・・。水も冷たかったですが、なんとか浅いところで写真を撮れました。可愛い熱帯魚たちを追いかけるようにシュノーケリングしたのがとても楽しかったです。目の前で焼いてくれるハンバーガーはジューシーでとても美味しかったし、海からあがったときのココアは冷えた体には最高でした。今度は晴れてるときにぜひリベンジしたいな。

We had a great time! We had everything explained to us very well numerous times. Very nice sand bar. Snorkeling was great! We were able to see many sea turtles. Great lunch. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

In February, it's winter in Hawaii, so it gets a bit chilly when the wind blows, and I brought a hoodie with me. Since I went in the morning, maybe because of the tide, the seawater was up to my thighs, and it was quite windy, so it was cold. But it was incredibly beautiful! I encountered both sea turtles and manta rays. The sandwich was delicious! I want to go again!

２月はハワイも冬なのですこし風が吹くと肌寒く、パーカーを持って行きました。
午前に行ったから？潮の引き具合で、海水が腿の付け根くらいまであって、風も結構強かったので寒かったです～
けど、すご～く綺麗でした！
ウミガメにもマンタにも遭遇出来ましたよ
サンドイッチが美味しかったです！
また行きたいな～～

Saw everything and had a FABULOUS tour bus driver that explained everything to us as we went and we learned so much about Hawaii and the entire area.... thoroughly enjoyed it!
