December is indeed cold. I think it's a good idea to research various factors like the season and tide to see landscapes like the one in the sandbar photo. The snorkeling after the sandbar was incredibly beautiful. I've been to many places in Southeast Asia, but the snorkeling spots here are really great. Luckily, I encountered a sea turtle swimming right below me twice. However, it can be really cold in December if the weather is bad. There were also some participants in the tour who didn't go into the water.
12月はやはり寒いです。
またサンドバーの写真のような風景を見るためには季節や、潮位など色々調べた方がいいと思います。
サンドバー後のシュノーケルは、すごくキレイでした。今まで東南アジア等たくさん行ってきましたが、ここのシュノーケルポイントはすごくいいです。
運よくウミガメも私のすぐ下を泳いでいて2回も遭遇しました。
でも12月で天気が悪いと本当に寒いです。
ツアー参加の方のなかで海に入ってない方もいました。

I highly recommend it! They provided life jackets for children and were very considerate of families with kids. Although it was only half a day, I was extremely satisfied. They also took great photos. As the trip was nearing its end and I was getting tired of the meals, playing in the sea felt refreshing, and the ham and cheese sandwich served on the boat tasted surprisingly delicious.
オススメです!
子供用のライフジャケットも用意してあり、子連れにもちゃんと配慮してくださり、半日でしたが、大満足です。写真もちゃんと撮ってくださいました。
旅行も終盤で、食事にあきていましたが、海であそんで気持ちよく、船上で出された、ハムとチーズだけのサンドイッチがかなり美味しく感じました。

The scenery was beautiful, and I was able to go snorkeling, plus the lunch was freshly made and delicious! However, the bus ride was extremely cold, and since we left early in the morning, I just wanted to sleep... I couldn't rest on the bus because the guide kept speaking in English, and when I dozed off during the boat ride, I was woken up. The return bus was also unusually cold (even though my body was wet), and I couldn't stand it, so I got off partway. I'm not sure if I would want to participate again...
景色はよくて、シュノーケリングもできたし、昼ごはんもできたてでおいしかったです!
ただ、移動のバスがすんごく寒かったのと、朝早くに出発なのでせめて寝てたいのに。。。バスでも英語でガイドずーっとされて眠れず、ボートで移動している間うとうとしてたら起こされ、帰りのバスも(体が濡れてるのに)異常に寒くて、たえきれなくて途中下車しました。

The staff were all high-energy and friendly! There were so many handsome guys, which made it worth participating just for that. (laughs) On the day of the tour, the sea was rough, and it took a while to find the dolphins, but I was moved to be able to swim with them. However, since we had to jump off the boat into the open sea, it was a bit tough for someone like me who isn't a strong swimmer.
スタッフの方がハイテンションで元気よく良い人ばかりでした!

The pickup was loose from the start. Just when I thought I should call after 10 minutes had passed, the ride finally arrived. From a distance, I heard a loud voice calling out, "Hurry up and come here," gesturing with his chin. If I had been short-tempered, there would have been a fight right there. After riding the bus for almost an hour, as soon as we arrived, the Japanese guide spoke so quickly and provided so much information that it was absolutely impossible to understand everything for the rest of the day. The only things I remembered were where and how to exchange for lunch and that our company had four showers. We were handed a special envelope for tips with instructions. The sea kayak guide confidently said, "Even if you capsize, I can right the boat and lift a person weighing 200 kg, so you'll be fine." However, as time passed, despite it being a guided tour, he said, "I'm not going today; only the customers will go." In the end, during the final briefing, the guide decided to join us. It was quite careless. Of course, we had to carry the boats ourselves to the sea. The paved road was fine, but it was quite heavy on the grass and sand. We finally arrived at the beach, and it was a struggle to float the boats and get on. The guide was nowhere to be seen; he was already at the starting point. There was quite a distance from the water's edge to the starting point. Was it our responsibility to get there? Perhaps that fast-paced explanation was for this reason?
In the end, we had to rely on the help of some Americans we didn’t know, and not the guide, to start paddling. Once we finally reached the starting point, it was just a matter of paddling. It didn’t matter whether the guide was there or not. We just had to paddle to avoid capsizing. We safely arrived at the uninhabited island and circled it. The guide explained various things here. On the way back, we paddled again. When we could see the starting point, the guide said, "Paddle over after I reach the shore." I understood that the guide was ahead because the beginning and end were difficult, so I paddled as instructed. Maybe I believed somewhere in my mind that he would help us if we capsized.
And then we capsized. Everything turned upside down, and I couldn’t tell right from left or up from down. But no help came. Right the boat? 200 kg? Those words felt empty.
My expensive shirt and hat, which I had just bought at the store right before the sea kayak tour, were swept away. I was so angry that I stayed in the water for a while until the guide finally came. All I could say was "the worst." I really wanted to say, "Everything about this tour is the worst!" Covered in sand and soaking wet, we carried the heavy boat. The guide had already gone far ahead. When we arrived at the store, I desperately looked for a shower. I couldn’t find the four showers they had boasted about. When I asked, I was pointed to a single outdoor water pipe with four faucets that were not spaced apart, none of which were even waist-high. One of them had a hose attached.
I realized that the high-quality showers often found at beach entrances were the best. The one in front of me couldn’t wash off the sand from my head or face; it could only manage to rinse off the sand from my feet. Despite this situation, the bus that had been so late in the morning was waiting. The fast-talking Japanese guide kept looking at the clock while saying, "No need to hurry," and stood right at the bus entrance. We stuffed our wet belongings in a mess and ran. There was even a 75-year-old grandfather with us... I couldn’t even confirm if we had forgotten anything. I still think that a tip is unnecessary for such a tour, but my family put in a tip above the going rate into the designated box and even handed over Japanese souvenirs, making me tear up at how naive they were.
I never thought I would feel one of the most frustrating experiences of my life in Hawaii. There was nothing about this tour that was satisfacto
ピックアップからしてルーズ。10分過ぎて電話しなければと思ったところに迎えが来た。遠くから大きい声で呼び捨て。あごで「早くこっち来い」。私が短気だったらここで喧嘩だよ。小一時間もバスに乗り、着いた途端、説明ガイドは日本人なのにあまりの早口と大量の説明。あれで今後のすべてを理解しろというのは絶対に無理。昼食を引き換える場所と方法、私たちの会社はシャワーを4つ持っている、ということだけ記憶した。チップは専用封筒を渡され指示された。シーカヤックのガイドは「たとえ転覆しても自分は船を元に戻すことができるし、200kgの体重の人を引き上げて助けるから大丈夫」と安心感100%の言葉。しかし時間が経つと、ガイド付きツアーなのに「今日は自分は行かない」「お客さんだけ行きます」と。結局最終説明ではガイドも行くことに。かなりいい加減である。もちろん海まで自分たちが船を運ぶ。舗装道路はいいけれど、草や砂の上はかなり重たい。やっと海辺に到着し、水際に浮かべ乗り込むのに一苦労。ガイドの姿なんてどこにも見えない。とっととスタート地点にいた。水際からスタート地点までもけっこうな距離がある。スタート地点に行くまでは自己責任なのだろうか?もしかしてあの早口の説明はこのせいだったのか?
結局全然知らないアメリカ人の手を借り、ガイドではなく彼らの力で私たちは漕ぎ出した。やっとスタート地点に着いたら、後はひたすら漕ぐだけ。ガイドなどいようといまいと関係ない。転覆しないように漕ぐだけだ。無事に無人島に着き、島を一周。ガイドはここであれこれ説明してくれた。帰りはまたひたすら漕ぐ。スタート地点が見えガイドは「私が陸に着いてから漕いで来て」と言う。最初と最後は難しいからガイドが先なのだろうと納得し、言われた通りに漕ぎ出した。どこかで「転覆しても助ける」ということばを信じていたのかもしれない。
そして私たちは転覆した。すべてのものが逆さになり、右も左も上も下もわからない。でも助けは来ない。船を元に戻す? 体重200kg? そんなことばが空々しい。
シーカヤック直前にツアーのその店で買ったばかりの高いシャツも帽子も流された。あまりに頭にきてしばらく海から出なかったらやっとガイドはやってきた。「最低」のことばしか出なかった。本当は「このツアーのすべてが最低!」と言いたかった。砂だらけで水浸しのまま重い船を運ぶ。ガイドなんてずっと先を行ってしまった。店に着いたらとにかくシャワーを探した。4つあると自慢していたシャワーがわからない。仕方ないので聞いたら「そこ」と指差された。腰の高さもない外にある一本の水道管に間隔のない蛇口が4つ。その1つにホースがつながっていた。
よくビーチの入口にある、砂を落とすためのシャワーは最高級だと知った。目の前にあるものは頭や顔の砂など落とせない。足の砂落としが精いっぱい。そんな状態なのに、朝はあんなに遅れたバスが待機している。早口日本人ガイドは「急がなくていい」と言いながら時計を何度も見てバスの乗り口にピタッといる。ベチャベチャに濡れたまま荷物をぐちゃぐちゃに突っ込み走る。75才のおじいちゃんもいるのに…。忘れ物がないのかもさえ確認できない。こんなツアー、チップなんて必要ないと今でも思っているが、家族は相場以上のチップを専用ポストに入れ、さらに日本土産まで渡し、どこまでお人良しなのかと涙が出てくる。
人生で一、二番目に腹の立つ思いをハワイでするなんて思わなかった。
このツアーは、どれをとっても満足できるものは何一つない。

Thanks to Yuki, one of the cruise staff, who accurately pointed out where the honu were... (laughs) Everyone was a wonderful cruise staff member. I actually had given up on snorkeling because I’m not a good swimmer, but one of the staff encouraged me, saying, "Don't worry! I couldn't do it at first either. You can do it!" That motivated me to give it a try. Because of that, I had a fantastic experience. Thank you. I'm sorry I forgot your name. Also, the captain was cool!!! He was a refreshing handsome guy.

If you're tired of slow horseback riding in Kualoa, want to gallop like a cowboy from a Western, or simply love Western riding, I believe GUNSTOCK is the perfect ranch for you.
I experienced horseback riding at 1. Kualoa, 2. Koko Crater, 3. Turtle Bay Hilton, and 4. GUNSTOCK, and among them, this one is the best.
2 also offers a great view from a small hill, but it's more British. 3 was a horseback trek along the beach. At 4, during the trek, they were practicing roping calves in the back arena.
Next time, I hope to stay overnight at this ranch for a cowboy experience. (Note: For those who want to experience Western riding in Japan, Eldorado in Chiba is the best.)

4ではトレッキングの途中、奥の馬場で小牛を投げ縄で捕らえる練習をしていました。

I went on the 30th of December. My evaluation is... well, it's hard to say. The sandbar had beautiful scenery and the ocean was stunning, but the lunch BBQ was not what I expected. Instead of a BBQ, it was just a single hamburger. At this price, that's too expensive.
During the trip, it started to rain, and everyone had to run to the bus, which was quite far away. It was unfortunate for those with children. I wish the bus could have come closer.
This tour includes tips, but when we got off the boat, they still asked for tips voluntarily, which made the tour less satisfying overall. However, I was satisfied with the sandbar itself.
年末の30日に行きました。評価は・・ん-なんとも。
サンドバーは景色も海も綺麗ですばらしかったのですが、お昼BBQランチではありません。
予想とは違って、ハンバーガー1個でした。このお値段では高いです。
途中、雨が降ってしまいバスまで皆走って行きましたが、そのバスが遠く子供さん連れの方などお気の毒でした。もっと近くまで来てくれればいいのに。
このツアーはチップも込みなのですが、船を降りるとき任意でチップも要求されあまり満足できないツアーでしたね。サンドバー自体は満足です。

I had been interested in the sandbar for a while and decided to sign up! It was great that there was a pickup near the hotel, but I was confused at first because the person who came to pick me up was a woman, not Captain Bob. After about a 50-minute drive, we arrived at the marina, and it was just a short boat ride from there to the sandbar! Since it’s a bay, there were no waves, and even though I usually get seasick, I was fine this time without any motion sickness medication! We passed by a sea turtle spot on the way to the sandbar and were lucky enough to see sea turtles! I heard that if you're lucky, you can also see a school of manta rays, but we weren't able to encounter them, which was a bit disappointing! Since it was December, I was worried about the cold water, but we were blessed with clear sunny weather and had a great time at the sandbar! I definitely think it's a must-do when you go to Hawaii! Our guide, Yuki, was Japanese, very humorous, and incredibly attentive, which made the experience even better!

The day before, I was worried about whether the event would take place and if we could even go into the water, as a typhoon was passing near Oahu. However, on the day of the event, the weather was clear after the typhoon, and we just needed to check the sea conditions. There were no cancellation notices, so we headed to the meeting point.
The meeting point was the last bus pickup, but the bus was over 15 minutes late, and there was no communication or tour desk, which made me anxious about whether the event would be canceled. Eventually, when I called the tour company, they said, "The bus will arrive in about 5 minutes." When I shared this with others waiting for the same tour, they seemed relieved. (If delays happen frequently, I hope they can review the schedule, and if there are delays, I wish there was a way to communicate that at the tour desk. It's unsettling to just wait in a foreign country.)
I had prepared for the bus ride by dressing warmly, as I had read in reviews that it could be cold, so it wasn't too chilly. After arriving at the port, we boarded the boat and set sail! The boat was comfortable and didn't rock at all.
Onboard, the crew provided explanations (in both English and Japanese), which was reassuring. First, we arrived at the sandbar and enjoyed the shallow waters. The water was colder than I expected, but after a while, it became fun. Given the season and time, the water was about knee-deep, and it felt more like a shallow area in the ocean rather than a sandbar.
The crew set up a beach volleyball net, but the Japanese participants didn't seem to play much. I think it would be more enjoyable if they did. After that, we had a BBQ on the boat. The captain grilled the BBQ, and it was delicious!
Then, the boat took us to a spot where we could see turtles. Luckily, we were able to see many turtles. According to the crew, this area was a filming location for many movies (like Pirates of the Caribbean and Jurassic Park), which might be exciting for movie fans.
Finally, we went to the snorkeling area. We swam close enough to the coral reef that we could almost reach it (but we shouldn't touch it). After that, we returned to the port and took the bus back to the original meeting point.
It was a very satisfying tour. With a Japanese guide available, I think those who are not confident in English can feel at ease.

結局ツアー会社に電話したら「あと5分ほどで到着する」と回答。周りに同じツアーに参加する人にも伝えると安心していたようでした。(遅延が毎回なら時間スケジュールの見直しをしてほしいですし、遅延している場合はツアーデスクなどにその連絡ができるようにしてほしいです。外国でただ待たされるのは心細いです。)
事前にバスの中は寒いと体験談にあったので、厚着して準備していたので、そこまで寒くはなかったです。
港に到着後船に乗船。出航!
船は揺れることもなく、快適でした。
船の上ではクルーによる説明がされ(英語チームと日本語チーム)るので安心です。
まずは、サンドバーに到着し浅瀬で楽しみます。水が思ったより冷たいですが、しばらくすると楽しくなります。季節・時間的にひざ下くらいで、サンドバーというよりは沖の中にある浅瀬という感じでした。
クルーはビーチバレーのネットを用意してくれたのですが日本人はあまり遊んでいませんでした。もっと遊んでも楽しいと思います
その後船の上でBBQ。キャプテンが焼いたBBQをおいしくいただきました!
そして、船はカメの見えるスポットへ。ラッキーにもカメはたくさん見ることができました。
クルーの説明によると、このあたりは多くの映画(パイレーツ・オブ・カリビアン、ジェラシックパーク)のロケがあった場所らしく、映画ファンならうれしいかも。
最後は、シュノーケルエリアへ。珊瑚礁が手がのばせば届きそうなくらい近いところで泳ぎました。(触ってはだめです)
そのあと帰港。バスで元の集合場所へ帰りました。
とても満足のツアーでした。
日本語のガイドもあるので、英語が苦手でも安心だと思います。

I booked a sandbar day tour on this site! The sandbar had water up to my knees, but since everyone loves the sea, we didn't mind and had a great time♡ Beach volleyball too♡ After that, we went turtle watching! I thought it might be difficult, but there were way more than I expected!! Snorkeling and jumping in were fun too! The staff were polite and friendly! I had a 2-year-old with me, but the staff took care of us, and we were able to fully enjoy snorkeling! Thank you☆ I would like to use this service again.
こちらのサイトでサンドバー1日ツアーを申し込みました!
サンドバーはヒザまで海水だったけど、みんな海が好きなので気にしなかったし楽しめた♡
ビーチバレーも♡
その後にウミガメウォッチング!
難しいかなと思ってたら予想以上にたくさんいました!!
シュノーケルも飛び込みも楽しかった!
スタッフも丁寧で気さくな方々でした!
2歳子供連れでしたけど、スタッフが見てくださり、シュノーケル満喫できました!
ありがとうございます☆
また、こちらで利用したいです。

Since it was December, the water was a bit cold when I went in. I saw a sea turtle. For breakfast, I only had a sandwich and taco chips. Considering that, the price was a bit high... Still, I was able to take some beautiful photos with a lovely view, so I’ll give it four stars. Also, I couldn’t see anything while snorkeling. The time was limited as well. I wouldn’t recommend going there for snorkeling purposes.
12月なので、海に入ると若干寒かったです。海がめのみれました。朝食はサンドイッチとタコスチップスのみ。それにしては料金が高めかな…。それでも、素敵な景色と写真が撮れたので、星4つにしておきます。
あと、シュノーケリングは何も見えませんでした。時間もわずか。シュノーケリング目的で行くことはおすすめしません。

I was able to see many sea turtles. However, the weather was unfortunate and it was cold. A hoodie might be essential depending on the situation. It seems that the tide changes depending on the season and time of day. This time, the tide was low up to my knees. The tour guide was lively and pleasant.
神様(ウミガメ)はたくさん見れました。ですが、あいにくの天気で、寒かったです。パーカーは場合によっては必需品でしょう。季節や時間帯によっては潮の引き具合が変わる模様。今回は膝下までの引きでした。ツアコンさんは元気な方で感じ良いです。

It was a beautiful day with great weather and a lovely ocean! There were many high school students, probably on a school trip, having fun playing beach volleyball. We wanted to join in, but... (laughs) However, it was a bit dangerous as we had to dodge the balls around us. My husband actually got hit by one and looked like it hurt^^; But more than that, the ocean was beautiful, we saw turtles while cruising, and snorkeling at the coral reef was wonderful! The BBQ for lunch was also very delicious! It might have been a bit crowded with so many people?? I guess we just happened to be there with the school trip students...
いいお天気で、海も綺麗ですばらしい一日をすごすことが出来ました!!修学旅行中?の高校生もたくさんおり、ビーチバレーをしていて楽しそうでした。私たちも参加したかったですが・・・(笑)でも、ちょっと周囲はボールを避けたりして危なかったですかね?実際主人もボールがあたって痛そうにしてました^^;でも、それ以上に海は綺麗し、クルージング中にカメも見れたし、さんご礁でのシュノケーリングも、ステキでした!お昼のBBQもとっても美味しかったです!!少し人が多いのが大変かな??たまたま修学旅行生と一緒になったのだろうけど・・

Most of the participants were newlyweds and young people, but we older folks had a great time as well. My wife, who is a big fan of the ocean and swimming, was particularly moved, saying, "I swam with a sea turtle!" We will definitely participate again if we have the chance.
新婚さんや若い方の参加者がほとんどでしたが、私たち熟年も十分楽しめました。
特に妻は、海と水泳大好きおばさんなので「ウミガメと一緒に泳いだよ」と感動してました。
また、機会が有れば参加します。
