Last year, I used "The Bus" to get to Kailua on my own. Initially, I had planned to include a visit to Lanikai Beach, but things started to go awry when I had to wait for a "bicycle rental." I ended up getting lost and wasted quite a bit of time. As a result, I had to give up on Lanikai Beach. My town exploration was also unsatisfactory, so I returned to Waikiki... Then the tragedy continued, as I was stuck for over an hour on the way back to Waikiki due to unclear bus operations. I returned to Ala Moana Shopping Center completely exhausted.
Reflecting on that experience, I signed up for this tour. Without worrying about transportation, I was able to rent a bicycle for just $10, which allowed easy access to Kailua Beach and, of course, Lanikai Beach. I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and clear ocean.
Not only the beach but also the lunch pizza was very delicious, and there were proper changing facilities, so I could enjoy exploring the town with peace of mind. However, after the initial briefing from the staff upon arrival, the tour had a style where you are “free” in a good way, but “left to your own devices” in a bad way. If you don’t check the places you want to visit in advance, time can slip away quickly.
I highly recommend this tour for those who find using "The Bus" or renting a car cumbersome like I do. If you participate, renting a bicycle and heading from Lanikai Beach to town is the best option! There are many unique shopping options in town that you won't find in Waikiki or Kahala, which I also recommend!
One disappointing aspect was that the pickup location for the voucher issued upon completing the tour reservation was incorrect. I had arrived early at a location across the street from my hotel, but it turned out that the bus was picking up at my hotel, which caused delays for other participants. Of course, the driver and staff from the tour company apologized, but since I provided an emergency contact at the time of booking, I would have appreciated a prior notification regarding this issue.
昨年、自力で「The Bus」を利用して行ったカイルア。当初は、ラニカイビーチまで含めた観光を予定していましたが、「自転車レンタル」の空き待ちあたりから、雲行きが怪しくなり、道に迷ったりして相当な時間をロス。結果、ラニカイビーチは断念。タウン散策も消化不良にワイキキに戻ることに・・・。そして悲劇(?!)は続き、ワイキキまでの復路で、バスの運行状況が良くわからず、カイルアで1時間以上も足止め。へとへとになってアラモアナSCまで戻ってくるというものでした。
という前回を反省し、申し込みをした今ツアー。
往復の“足”の心配もなく、1人10ドルで自転車もレンタルできたため、カイルアビーチは勿論、ラニカイビーチにも簡単にアクセスができ、青い空と透明な海・・・と素晴らしい景色を満喫することできました。
ビーチだけでなく、ランチもピザがとても美味しく、着替えの場所もちゃんと確保されているので、安心してタウン散策も楽しむことができました。ただ、現地到着後、スタッフからの一通りの説明の後は、いい意味で“自由に”そして、悪い意味で“放っておかれる”スタイルのツアーですので、事前に行きたい所をチェックしてツアーに臨まないと、あっという間に時間が過ぎてしまう感じでした。
私のように「The Bus」の利用やレンタカーが面倒と考える方に、ぜひお勧めしたいツアーです。そして参加されるなら、自転車をレンタルして、ラニカイビーチからタウンまで繰り出すのがベスト!タウンでの買い物もワイキキやカハラでは無いような物も沢山ありお勧めです!
ただ一つ残念だったのは、ツアー予約完了時に発行されたバウチャーのピックアップ場所が、間違えていたこと。宿泊ホテルの通りをはさんだ場所に早めにスタンバイしていたのに、結局、宿泊ホテルにバスは迎えに来ていたようで、他の参加者の方々をお待たせする形になってしまいました。勿論、運転手やツアー催行会社のスタッフの方からの謝罪はありましたが、予約時には緊急連絡先を記載しておりますので、その旨事前にご連絡をいただければと思いました。

This time, I participated in a honeymoon trip. The pickup was supposed to be in front of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani, but I got anxious when the car didn't arrive even after the meeting time had passed. After that, I spotted someone calling out "Kailua," and when I said my name, it turned out to be the tour guide. Following the guide, I was relieved to find the bus parked near the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
After getting on the bus, we arrived at the Kailua Beach Center after about an hour. Once we got off the bus, we were first guided in English, and I was confused about what was happening. Following the guide, I ended up in a room where we had to sign a consent form, but everyone around me was a foreigner, and I felt very anxious because I couldn't understand anything. After I mentioned that I was Japanese, I was taken to a different room where there were other Japanese people, and it seemed like I had gone to the wrong room. The Japanese people were on the same bus and had been guided ahead of me, so I would have appreciated it if they had confirmed everything until the end.
After the explanation, I rented a bicycle and went for a stroll around the town of Kailua. Since I hadn't had breakfast yet, I planned to eat pancakes at Boots & Kimo's, but it turned out to be closed! I should have checked before going. I gave up on the pancakes and had an acai bowl in the area instead. The center of Kailua is full of shops like gift stores and supermarkets, making it perfect for wandering around. I walked around for about two hours, and then for lunch, I chose pizza since the tour included meal vouchers. The pizza was hearty, and I was satisfied!
After that, we went to Kailua and Lanikai Beach, where we went snorkeling and relaxed. The ocean is beautiful! Compared to Waikiki Beach, there were fewer people, which was nice.
This was a one-day tour, but I was glad that I could stroll around the town of Kailua by bicycle and swim at the beautiful beach, making efficient use of my time.
今回は新婚旅行で参加しました。送迎付きで集合場所はシュラトンプリンセスカイウラニ前でしたが、集合時間過ぎても車は来なく焦りました。その後、カイルアと呼びながらこちらに来る方を見つけ、名前を言うと、ツアーのガイドさんでした。ガイドさんについていくとバスは、ハイアット・リージェンシーホテルのほうに停まっており、安心しました。
そしてバスに乗り1時間ぐらいして、カイルアのビーチセンターに着きました。バスを降りたら、まず英語で案内され、何がなんだか分からずガイドさんについていくと、同意書を書く部屋でも周りは外国人だけで英語で案内され、さっぱり分からず大変不安に思いました。その後、日本人だということを伝えると、別な部屋に案内され、そこには日本人の方もいて、部屋を間違いたみたいでした。日本人の方もバスも一緒に乗っていて、先に案内されていた感じみたいだったので、最後まで確認をしていただきかったです。
説明後、自転車を借りて、カイルアの街に散歩しに行きました。朝食はまだだったので、ブーツ&キモズのパンケーキを食べようと思い、行ったら定休日!行く前に確認しておけば良かったです。パンケーキは諦めて、その周辺でアサイーボウルを食べました。カイルアの中心地は、雑貨屋やスーパーなど、お店がいっぱいあるので、ぶらぶらするには最適でした。2時間ぐらい歩きまわり、その後、昼食で、ツアーに食事券がついていたのでピザを選びました。ピザはボリュームがあって、満足しました!
その後は、カイルア、ラニカイビーチにいき、シュノーケリングをして、ゆっくり過ごしました。とにかく海は綺麗です!ワイキキビーチと比べると人も少ないので、良かったです。
今回は1日コースでしたが、カイルアの街に自転車で散歩して、綺麗なビーチでも泳ぐことができ、時間を効率よく使うことができるツアーで良かったです。

Before I got to Oahu i was wondering what to do for my short trip. It was my fist trip to Hawaii and i had no idea where to start. But booking a snorkel session with them was a good choice. They picked us up at Waikiki, and the pick up location just happened to be across the street of our hotel. Made a call to our hotel to remind us the day before our session. Even though I never done snorkel before it was easy to learn. As long as you can swim you can snorkel, just remember to keep your breathing tube above water. Kailua beach had clear water and lots of fish, and it's one of the reason I got hooked to snorkeling. We were going to do it again but our trip was too short, but if we had time we would.
This is a honest review from someone who visited to those that are still hesitating. BOOK IT. Your won't regret.
PS: remember to put on sunscreen, water base resist would be best.

After exploring the sandbar, I was able to swim with the honu (sea turtles). I was very satisfied to see many honu and rays.
The return boat can be cold, so I think it's a good idea to bring a jacket.
サンドバー散策後はホヌさんと泳ぐ事出来ました。
ホヌ、エイ沢山見れて大満足です。
帰りの船は寒いので、上着を持って行った方がいいと思います。

You can visit Kailua Beach on a tour even without a car. I definitely recommend renting a bicycle. I first headed to Lanikai Beach by bike, then picked up pancakes to-go from Boots & Kimo's in Kailua Town, had lunch with my lunch ticket, and finally went to Kailua Beach in that order. Lanikai Beach is amazing! It was the most beautiful beach I've ever seen. It's also interesting to ride through the upscale residential areas along the way. For lunch, I had spare ribs, which were hearty and delicious. Boots & Kimo's was decent, but I thought it might not have been worth the time to go there. Since time was limited, I hardly had any time at Kailua Beach. If you want to focus on the beach, I recommend skipping Kailua Town and planning to go to Lanikai Beach in the morning, pick up lunch to-go, and then relax at Kailua Beach in the afternoon. Also, there was a handsome half-Japanese staff member who looked like Ryo Nishikido at the shop! Haha.
車がなくてもツアーでカイルアビーチに行くことができます。
自転車は絶対レンタルした方がいいと思います。
私は最初に自転車でラニカイビーチへ向かい、その後カイルアタウンのブーツ&キモズでパンケーキをテイクアウトし、昼食チケットで昼食を取り、最後にカイルアビーチという順で回りました。
ラニカイビーチは最高です!今まで見たビーチの中で一番綺麗でした。サイクリングの途中で高級住宅街を通るのでそれを見て回るのも面白いです。
昼食はスペアリブを食べましたがボリュームもあって美味しかったです。
ブーツ&キモズはそこそこ美味しかったけど、時間を割いてまで行く必要はなかったかも?と思いました。時間が限られているので、カイルアビーチでの時間がほとんど取れなかったです。
ビーチ中心に回りたいならカイルアタウンを省略して午前中ラニカイビーチ→昼食をテイクアウト→午後はカイルアビーチでまったり、というプランがオススメです。
あとショップに錦戸亮似のイケメンハーフ店員さんがいました!笑

I joined the snorkeling tour because I wanted to snorkel in a beautiful location. They picked me up near the hotel, which was convenient. After picking up various groups, the air conditioning on the way was too cold, but we arrived safely (laughs).
There was a changing room at the office, and a Japanese staff member gave us an explanation before we dispersed. I was given a paper wristband with a colored tag indicating the meeting time and course, but that part turned white while the rest got sunburned, so be careful (laughs).
After changing, we walked for about 7 minutes to reach the beach. The scenery was lovely. I could only see sand underwater (sweat), and since I didn't have an anti-fog solution for my goggles, they started to fog up (sweat). The sea in early March was still cold around 10 AM.
After enjoying it for about an hour, we returned for lunch. I received something like a lunch ticket, so I had rice dishes, pizza, and I think something else (sweat). I chose Bob's pizza. The one with just salami was crisp and gooey, and it was very delicious (happy). I want to eat it again!
After that, I went to the Whole Foods Market I was aiming for, which was about a 20-minute walk. The organic John Masters Organics shampoo was inexpensive, and BURT'S BEES lip balm was cheap for two. There was also affordable honey from a small bear. There were many other interesting shops, but unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, so I returned to the meeting place.
景色の綺麗なところでシュノーケリングしたくて参加しました。
ホテルの近くまでピックアップにきてくれて楽でした。
それからいろんなグループをピックアップして、道中のエアコンが寒すぎましたが無事到着(笑)
事務所に更衣室があって日本人のスタッフの方から説明があり、そのあと解散。腕に集合時間、コース別の色の付いた紙製のリストバンドを巻いてもらったのですが、そこだけ白くなって他が日に焼けてしまったのでご注意(笑)。
着替えてから歩いて7分程でビーチに到着。素敵な景色です。
海の中は砂しか見れませんでしたが(汗)
そして曇り取りがゴーグルにしていないのでくもってきて(汗)
3月初めの海は朝10時位でしたがまだ冷たいですね。
一時間位堪能したあと、ランチしに戻りました。
ランチ券みたいなのをいただいたので、ご飯系とピザと、あとなんかあったような(汗)
ボブさんのピザにしました。
ボブスペシャルよりサラミのみのほうが、カリっトロっとしてとても美味しかったです(幸)また食べたいな
そのあとはお目当のwhole foods marketに行きました。
歩いて20分程。
オーガニックのジョンマスターオーガニクスのシャンプーがお安かったり、BURT'S BEESのリップも二本で安かったり、小さいクマのハチミツもお安かったです。
他にも色々面白そうなお店がありましたが、残念ながら時間がなかったので集合場所に戻りました。

It was a slightly windy day, but the weather was nice and the sea was very beautiful. I was moved when I stood on the sandbar, and I was completely satisfied with the endless blue sea and blue sky. The sand only appears for a limited time on certain days, and when I went, the water was about knee to waist deep, but I could still see the white sand and feel the soft sandy areas in places. The burgers for lunch were delicious, and both the captain and the crew were friendly, making it a truly enjoyable experience. I definitely want to go again.
少し風の強い日でしたが、天気は良く海がとても綺麗でした。
サンドバーに立てたときは感動しましたし、見渡す限り青い海と青い空で大満足でした。
砂が顔を出すのは本当に限られた日の限られた時間だけのため、私が行ったときは膝から腰あたりまでの深さがありましたが、それでも白い砂が見え、所々に柔らかい砂地を感じることができました。
お昼のバーガーも美味しかったですし、船長も船員さんも気さくで本当に楽しかったです。
ぜひまた行きたいと思います。

In the morning, the shuttle bus arrived at the hotel a little late, and we reached the town of Kailua in about an hour. When we arrived, a staff member who spoke Japanese kindly explained everything to us. There were a few small lockers and restrooms nearby. At the beach, we saw many people surfing, cycling, and running. That day, the wind was strong, so we decided not to go into the water. Since we could borrow bicycles for free, we took some and headed into town. We visited a poke shop that the staff recommended as delicious, and we also had sandwiches and pizza. The pizza is quite large, so I think you'll get very full. We were able to buy souvenirs in a shopping area. Unlike in Japan, the bicycles require you to brake with the pedals instead of the handlebars, so we practiced a bit in the parking lot at first. When we went out onto the road, there were bike lanes, but since I wasn't used to it, I think it's better to ride slowly. Cars don't necessarily yield like they do in Japan. Although it was a bit daunting, I think I enjoyed it overall, especially since I wouldn't have gone to Kailua without this tour.
朝少し時間に遅れて送迎バスがホテルに到着し一時間ほどでカイルアの街に到着しました。ついたら日本語の話せるスタッフが丁寧に説明してくれました。周りには少し小さなロッカーがあったりお手洗いなどがありました。海に足を運ぶとサーフィンをしているひとやサイクリング、ランニングをしている人が多く見受けられました。その日は風が強く海を入るのを断念し、無料で自転車を借りられるということなので借りて街に出ました。スタッフがおいしいと勧めていたポキのお店に行ったり、サンドウィッチ、ピザを食べました。ピザはかなり大きいのでかなりお腹いっぱいになると思います。商店街みたいなところでお土産も買えました。自転は日本みたいにブレーキがハンドルではなくペダルを後ろにこがなくてはならないので最初は駐車場で少し練習をしました。車道に出るときには自転車専用の道があるのですが慣れていないのでゆっくり走ったほうがいいと思います。日本みたいに車がよけてくれるわけではないので。放り出されるのですが、このツアーがなければカイルアに行くことはなかったとおもうのでそれなりに楽しめたと思います。

It was the rainy season in Hawaii, but on this day, the north wind was particularly strong, and it was really cold. It would have been nice to have wetsuits available; being on an open boat while wet in that cold was quite tough.

It was my first time in Hawaii. I think Waikiki Beach generally gives a strong impression of Hawaii's ocean, but Kailua Beach was amazing! Our hotel didn't have a shuttle, so we went to a nearby hotel and got a ride from there. It was only a two-minute walk to that hotel. Since the hotels are clustered together, it's not a problem if your hotel doesn't have a shuttle! We were able to depart almost on time. It took about 40 minutes to get to Kailua Beach. It was about a five-minute walk from the shop to Kailua Beach. The changing rooms and lockers were secure, and the restrooms were clean. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, and everyone was friendly. You can rent snorkeling gear and bodyboards. By around 9:40, we were already at Kailua Beach and enjoyed our time there. Since it was early in the morning, there weren't many people, and there were a lot of locals, so we could interact with them. For lunch, we had pizza. It was right next to the shop, and we were very satisfied with the drink and large pizza. After lunch, we rented a bicycle for $10 at the shop and went shopping at Whole Foods and Kailua's downtown, and we also visited Lanikai Beach. The staff at the shop gave us a map and explained how to get around in detail. You can reach anywhere in about 15 minutes by bike!! With about five hours of free time, you can do quite a lot! Even if you don't know anything, there are many Japanese people, and the staff at the shop will teach you various things. I felt very secure! It was a lot of fun, and I was able to relax and shop, so I was very satisfied.
初めてのハワイでした。やはりワイキキビーチは一般的にハワイの海っていう印象が強いと思いますがカイルアビーチ最高でした!私達が泊まったホテルには送迎がなかったので近くのホテルまで行き車に乗せて頂きました。そのホテルまでも徒歩2分圏内。ホテル密集してるので自分が泊まるホテルに送迎がなくても余裕ですよ!ほぼ時間通りに出発できました。40分くらいかけてカイルアビーチに行きました。ショップからカイルアビーチまでは徒歩5分くらい。更衣室もロッカーも安心だしトイレも普通に綺麗。スタッフの方も日本語できる人いるしみんな気さくな方でした。シュノーケルとかボディボードは借りれます。9:40くらいにはもうカイルアビーチに行きゆっくりすごしました。朝早かったのであまり人はいなくて地元の方も多くその方たちと交流もできました。ランチはピザにしました。ショップのすぐ隣だし、ドリンクと大きいピザ付きで大満足。ランチの後、ショップで自転車を1台10ドルで借りてフォールフーズとかカイルアのダウンタウン行って買い物したり、ルニカイビーチにも行きました。地図もショップの方がくれて、行き方も丁寧に教えてくれます。自転車で15分くらいでどこでもいけますよ!!5時間くらい自由時間なので結構いろんなことができます!全然なにも知らなくても日本人多いしショップの方も色々教えてくれるし。とても安心できました!とても楽しくてゆっくりもできてお買い物もでき大満足です。

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。

I chose this tour because of the great reviews! This was my first time in Hawaii, and I participated to create memories the day after my wedding! The reservation process was smooth, as I made the booking from my smartphone in Japan and received quick replies and guidance! On the day of the tour, I was picked up at 8:55 at a hotel next to my accommodation, and the bus arrived at 9:05, calling out names! The bus was already quite full, with guests from places other than Japan. The bus drives pretty fast, so if you’re prone to motion sickness, it’s a good idea to have some medication!
We arrived at a shop just before Kailua Beach in about 30 minutes from Waikiki. There, a cheerful Japanese guide explained the tour and how to use the shops in detail, dividing us into groups. They were very efficient, which was great! After that, we rented bicycles for an additional $10 each and cycled to the town of Kailua! Walking can take quite a while, and you might not have enough time to go to the beach, so I recommend biking!
Once we arrived in Kailua, we first ordered takeout at Boots & Kimo's, gave our names, and received a receipt. Then we went shopping at the nearby Whole Foods Market! We filled up on salad bar items and returned to Boots & Kimo's just in time to pick up our order. After that, we biked back to the beach, where we used the lunch tickets we received earlier to order plate lunches and pizza from the shop, and rented bodyboards and beach mats to head to Kailua Beach!
We walked to Kailua Beach from the shop. There was shade, so we spread out our mats for lunch! After enjoying some swimming, when we started to get bored, we returned to the shop, borrowed snorkels, and biked to Lanikai Beach! When we dove in, we were amazed to see fish near the rocks!
On the way back, I fell into a deep sleep on the bus. We arrived at the hotel by 3 PM, and then I went shopping in Waikiki, making for a fulfilling day! The rental and explanations were all in Japanese, so it was a very reassuring tour! I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to go to Kailua!
口コミがよかったので、こちらのツアーを選びました!今回のハワイは初めてで、挙式をした次の日に思い出づくりとして、参加させていただきました!予約は、日本からスマホでの申し込みで、すぐに返信が来たり、案内が来たりとスムーズな対応でした!当日は、8:55に宿泊ホテル隣のホテルにてピックアップで、バスは9:05に到着して名前を呼んでくれました!バスには既沢山の人が乗っており、日本以外のお客さんもいました。バスは結構、飛ばすので酔いやすい方は酔い止めがあるといいです!ワイキキから、30分くらいでカイルアビーチ手前のショップに到着。そこから、日本人の明るい方がひたすらツアーや、ショップの使い方などツアーごとに別れて、丁寧に説明してくれました。テキパキとされていて良かったです!その後、私たちは自転車をこちらでプラス10ドルずつ払いレンタルして、カイルアの街までサイクリング!徒歩だと、意外と距離がありビーチ行く時間が無くなるので自転車がオススメです!カイルアの街に到着して、まずブーツ&キモズにてテイクアウトを注文して、名前を伝えレシートを貰い、その後近くにあるホールフーズマーケットでお買い物!サラダバーなど詰め込んで、またブーツ&キモズに戻ると丁度出来上がっており、受け取って終了。また自転車でビーチに戻って、最初に配られたランチチケットでショップにある、プレートランチとピザを注文して、ボディボードとビーチマットを借りいざカイルアビーチへ!
カイルアビーチへは、ショップから徒歩で移動。木陰があり、そこへマットを広げてランチタイム!その後は、海水浴を楽しんで飽きてきた頃にまた、ショップへ戻り、スノーケルを借りて自転車でラニカイビーチへ!すぐそこを潜ると岩に魚がいて、感動しました!
帰りはバスの中で爆睡。
15時にはホテルに到着したので、それからまたワイキキでショッピングしたりと、充実した1日になりました!
レンタルも、説明も全て日本語なのでとても安心できるツアーです!カイルアへ行きたい方はオススメです!

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。
