All Reviews for Lunch & Breakfast Experiences

I have never been to such a wonderful place before. Being in the middle of the ocean felt very surreal. I was satisfied to enjoy it with my son. I wish we had more time for snorkeling. We were able to see even more tropical fish than at Hanauma Bay. It was a lot of fun! It became a great memory. The staff was friendly too! Next time, I want to join a wild dolphin tour.

今まで、こんな素敵な場所に行った事がありません。海の中にあって、とても不思議な気分でした。息子と2人で楽しむ事が出来て、満足しています。スノーケリングの時間がもっとあれば良かったなぁ、と思います。熱帯魚はハナウマベイに行くよりも、もっと見る事が出来ました。楽しかったです！良い思い出になりました。スタッフの方もフレンドリーでした！今度は野生のイルカツアーに参加したいです。

It was a wonderful experience. I have been to Hawaii many times, but this tour was truly a pleasant walking experience in the ocean!

とても素敵な体験でした。
ハワイには何度も来ていますが、今回のツアーは本当に気持ちのよい海の中の歩行体験です！！

This time, my 74-year-old mother joined us on the dolphin tour. At the snorkeling point, we were able to see sea turtles up close. There were also plenty of fish. There were two Japanese staff members on board who provided thorough explanations and kind assistance, allowing us to have a very enjoyable time. The lunch was delicious as well. On the way back to the port, we encountered dolphins! The dolphins chased the boat and seemed to be playing while swimming, which was very cute. If given the opportunity, I would definitely like to join this tour again.

今回は７４歳の母も一緒にイルカツアーに参加しました。シュノーケリングポイントではウミガメをとても近くで見ることができました。さかなもいっぱいいました。スタッフも日本人の方が２名乗船しており、丁寧な説明と親切な対応をしていただき、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。ランチもおいしかったです。帰港途中でイルカにも遭遇！イルカがボートを追いかけてきて、遊びながら泳いでいる様で、とてもかわいかったです。機会があれば、是非、また参加したいツアーです。

On this day, there were many participants, and three boats set out. After the boats departed, we first went to see sea turtles in the offshore waters, and if we were lucky, we might encounter manta rays. After that, we headed to the sandbar, but since I didn't plan to go snorkeling and just wanted to walk on the sandbar, I didn't bring my swimsuit, so I got wet up to my thighs during the 10 to 20 meters to the sandbar. It dries quickly, so it might not be necessary, but it's better to bring a swimsuit. After arriving at the sandbar, those who want to snorkel will do so in the outer sea, but it's also fine to stay on the sandbar. The morning tour is short, so even if you walk on the sandbar for a little while, it goes by quickly, and I recommend that. The scenery was amazing.

この日は参加者が多く船が3船でていました。　船が出発して、沖合の海でウミガメをまず見に行きますが、運が良ければマンタと出会えるそうです。その後、サンドバーに向かいますが、シュノーケリングをするつもりもなく、ただサンドバーを歩きたかったので水着は持って行きませんでしたのでサンドバーまでの10~20ｍの距離は股下まで濡れました。すぐ乾くので無くてもいいかも知れませんが、水着は持っていったほうがいいですね、サンドバーに到着後、シュノーケリングをする人はサンドバーの外側の海でやりますが、サンドバーに残っていてもOKです　午前のツアーは短いのでサンドバーを時間ない歩いてもアッと言うまなので私はそちらをお勧めします。　景色は最高でした。

It was a tour that ended in the morning, and I thought that 30 minutes on the sandbar might not be enough time. However, other morning tours were fully booked, so I reluctantly (I apologize for that) chose this tour.

But in the end, it turned out to be a very satisfying experience! The staff were very kind, and they proactively offered to take photos for us.

At the time of booking, I didn't think there would be any time for snorkeling, but after taking a lot of pictures at the sandbar, we were able to experience a little bit of it.

I wasn't timing it exactly, but it felt like we had more than 30 minutes. I recommend this tour as you can schedule other activities in the afternoon! ☆

午前中で終わるツアーで、サントバーに上陸できるのが３０分ほどということで、時間足りないんじゃないかなー？と思いましたが、他の朝のツアーがもう予約いっぱいで、仕方なく（失礼ですみません）こちらのツアーにしました。
でも、結果大変満足なツアーになりました！
スタッフの方々はとても親切で、写真も自ら声をかけていただき率先して撮ってくださいました。

予約の段階ではとてもシュノーケルする時間なんてないと思っていましたが、サンドバーでたくさん写真を撮った後でも、少し体験することができました。

実際時間を計っていた訳ではないのですが、体感的には３０分より多かった気がします。
午後には他の予定を入れることができるしお勧めです☆

This was my first experience with sea kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. At one point, I lost my balance and capsized, but our guide, Jordan, helped me get back on track quickly, and I was able to enjoy myself. The view on the uninhabited island was so beautiful that I wished I had brought my camera (they lend you waterproof bags). I definitely plan to bring it next time. Kailua Beach is really pleasant, and during the free time in the first half of the tour, it might be nice to lay out a rental mat and just relax. By the way, the teriyaki chicken in the lunch plate was also delicious.

今回シーカヤック初挑戦でしたが、大変楽しかったです。途中、バランスを崩して横転してしまいましたが、ガイドのジョーダン君にすぐに立て直してもらい、楽しく過ごせました。無人島では景色が良かったのでカメラを持ってくれば良かったと思いました(防水の荷物入れを貸してくれます)。次回は必ず持っていこうと思います。カイルアのビーチは本当に気持ちよく、ツアー前半の自由時間はレンタルのゴザを敷いてぼーっとするのも気持ち良いかもしれません。余談ですが、お昼のプレートランチのテリヤキチキンも美味しかったです。

I participated with two elementary school boys. The sandbar was about calf-deep, but it was still beautiful... I was thrilled to encounter three sea turtles during snorkeling! I was also very lucky to see a manta ray! It was a fantastic tour. However, it can be cold after coming out of the water, so even in summer, a jacket might be necessary.

小学生の男の子二人と参加しました。サンドバーはふくらはぎ程度でしたが、やっぱりきれい。。。そのあとのシュノーケリングでウミガメ３匹と出会え感激！でした。マンタの姿も見れ、非常にラッキー！なツアーでした。でも海上がりは寒いので、夏でも上着（はおりもの）は必要かも。

Our family had a wonderful day on this tour. We were blessed to have Cousin Pete as our tour guide. Cousin Pete was born and bred in Hawaii. Heis so well read and knowledgeable sharing above and beyond what we expected. Fantastic

I really wanted to participate in the "Sandbar Tour" since I'm going to Hawaii. However, due to a misunderstanding of the date on my part, I ended up canceling on the actual day... Still, they were kind enough to consider rescheduling for the next day. Since it's a popular tour, I didn't expect much, but to my luck, a spot opened up and I was able to join. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you very much.

I always trust Alan1.net for overseas optional tours. The tour was truly beautiful and became my best memory in Hawaii right before my return date, allowing me to take amazing photos. I saw many sea turtles and even happened to spot a manta ray. The mystical beauty of the sandbar was incredible. Above all, the seawater was warm, and my wife was able to swim as well. The local tour company, led by Yukiko, was energetic, polite, and very good.

I highly recommend this tour!!

ハワイに行くからにはどうしても参加したかった「サンドバーツアー」。
しかし、当方の日付勘違いで事実上の当日ドタキャン…。
それでも翌日に振替を検討して頂けることに。人気ツアーなのでダメもとですが
期待して待っていたら、運よく空が出て参加出来ることになりました。
ご迷惑をおかけしました。本当にありがとうございました。
海外オプショナルツアーは毎回Alan1.netさんなので本当に信頼できます。

ツアーは本当に綺麗で帰国日の前日にハワイ1番の思い出になり、最高の写真が
撮れました。ウミガメもたくさん、マンタも偶然見ることができました。
サンドバーの神秘的な美しさ。何より海水が温かく、妻も泳ぐことができました。
現地のツアー会社もＹＵＫＩＫＯさんを中心に元気で丁寧でとても良かったです。

本当におススメのツアーです！！

I highly recommend this activity!! We did the one for lunch but should have don the whole day! My husband loved it, we paid the extra $$$ for Snuba because we love snuba! The food was delicious also!

The weather was great, and it became a wonderful memory.
Pulling the kayak from the shop to the sea might be tough for girls, but it's all part of the experience♪
The sea was even more beautiful than I imagined.
I was able to see sea turtles twice while kayaking (*^^*)
The snorkeling wasn't that great, but I was happy to have a choice for lunch. It was delicious.
Since we had some time, we went cycling around the town after lunch.
The timing was just right, and it was a great tour.

天気にも恵まれとてもいい思い出になりました。
店からカヤックを海まで引っ張っていくのは、女子にはきついかもだけど、
それも経験ということで♪
海は想像以上にきれいでした。
海ガメにもにカヤックで、二回見れました(*^^*)
シュノーケルはあんまり…でしたが、ランチは選べて
よかったです。おいしかった。
時間があったので、ランチ後にレンタサイクルで
街を散策しにいきました。
時間もちょうどよく、いいツアーでした。

The weather was nice, and the sea was very calm and beautiful.

Due to the tides, the sandbar had water up to about my ankles at its shallowest, which was a bit disappointing, but it was very beautiful, and the staff took a lot of pictures for us, creating wonderful memories.

Because there were so many people snorkeling, it was more crowded with people than fish, which was a little disappointing.

Overall, I thought the staff were very fun and it was a great experience.

天候もよくとても穏やかな海できれいでした。

サンドバーは潮の関係で、一番浅くても足首ぐらいまでは水があったので少し残念でしたがとてもきれいで、スタッフの方が沢山写真を撮ってくれたりしてとてもいい思い出になりました。

シュノーケリングは人数が多い為、魚よりも人ばかりで、芋荒い状態になりました。
それだけは少し残念でした。

その他、スタッフの方もとても楽しくてとてもよかったと思います。

I had a really fun day.
The weather was also great.
I was lucky to see a pair of large manta rays.
I also saw many sea turtles.
I'm grateful for the wonderful memories.

本当に楽しい一日を過ごせました。
天候にも恵まれ^_−☆
大きなマンタのツガイも見る事が出来て
ラッキーでした。海亀も沢山 見れました。
良い思い出に感謝です。

The long-awaited sandbar was amazing. The weather was perfect, and when we landed on the island from the boat, the water was only up to my knees— the island was completely visible. It seems I was able to participate at a great time. The staff was attentive to every detail, and I had a wonderful day.

念願のサンドバー感動でした。
天候も最高で、島にボートから上陸する時は
膝したまでしか お水が無く〜
島もすっぽり浮き出てました。良い時期に参加出来た
みたいです。スタッフさん達も細かな対応が出来てて
楽しい一日を過ごせました。

Our group of 17 took the afternoon sail. The crew wants to have as much fun as their guests so they do their best to create a memorable experience. One meal, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and complete snorkel gear is included in the cost.

There are two locations where swimming among sea turtles is likely. For $5 you can get a quart size of fish food and it is suggested to feed the fish at the last location. Divers don't mind diving to the bottom and up close to the marine life with your waterproof camera to get some amazing shots - just ask them. A photographer comes along to capture all the beautiful moments both on board and underwater. A dvd of 500+ photos of your trip for $65 is worth it.

Served during the last snorkling location, our family style lunch of kalua pork and teriyaki chicken sliders with all the trimmings was plentiful and satisfying. Alocholic drinks are $4.

Great first-time deep sea snorkling experience. Would definitely go again with these guys! Mahalo!

The tour guide was the most personable, knowledgable tour guides I have ever had. She took the time to explain where we were, what was special about it and answered any and all questions. Would definitely use their services again!

After the morning pickup, we traveled to Kaneohe with a somewhat suspicious tour guide. On the bus ride, we listened to his light-hearted talk (in English) filled with jokes, and soon we arrived at Kaneohe Bay. The ratio of Japanese to foreign tourists was about half and half. Those who don't understand English might feel quite anxious here (laughs).

At Kaneohe Bay, there were two boats, one for foreign tourists and one for Japanese tourists. On the Japanese boat, a beautiful Japanese lady (who seemed captivated by Hawaii and decided not to return to Japan) guided us in Japanese.

The sandbar has varying water depths depending on the time of day, so I think it's best to go during the times when the water is shallower. Additionally, one of my companions was quite prone to seasickness, but as explained, the waves in Kaneohe Bay are always calm, and we were able to finish the trip without much seasickness! Let's shout "Aloha!" loudly on the boat!

朝のピックアップ後、怪しげなオッチャンのツアコンとともにカネオヘまで移動。
往路のバスではその怪しげなオッチャンのジョークを交えた軽快なトーク（英語）を聞きながら
ほどなくカネオヘ湾に到着しました。
日本人と外国人の割合は半々ぐらいでしたね。
英語がわからない人は多分ここでめっちゃ不安になります（笑）
が、カネオヘ湾では２つ船があって、外国人輸送船と日本人輸送船に分かれ、
日本人輸送船では美人な日本人お姉さん（ハワイに魅せられ日本に帰らなくなった感じ）が
日本語で案内してくれました。

サンドバーは、時間帯によって浅瀬の水深が違うので、水深が浅い時間帯を狙って
行くのがいいと思います。
また、同行者がかなり船酔いしやすいタイプだったのですが、
カネオヘ湾は説明のとおり常に波は穏やかで、ほとんど船酔いもせずに終えることができました！
船上では、大きな声でアローハーと叫びましょう！

The sea was beautiful and wonderful. I was glad to see sea turtles as well. Time flew by, and I wish I could have relaxed a bit longer.

海が綺麗で素敵でした。ウミガメも見れて良かったです。あっという間に時間が過ぎたので、もう少しのんびりしたかったです。

I like it, it is amazing
You should try it
You well like it also

The sea was truly beautiful. It wasn't very shallow, so when we got off the boat, the water was up to my thighs, and my 70-year-old mother said she was scared to go into the sea. However, one of the staff members said, "Since you came all this way, let's go to the sandbar," and he actually carried my mother there. It was so moving! Thank you very much.
The hamburgers for lunch were also delicious, as they grilled the patties on the boat.
We were able to see several sea turtles, and snorkeling was a lot of fun. There were staff members who were fluent in Japanese, so I had no worries at all.

本当に海が綺麗でした。　そんなに引いてなかったので、船から降りた時は太ももくらいまで水につかりながら、サンドバーまで歩く状態のため、70歳の母は怖がって海に入らないと言ってましたが、スタッフのお兄さんが、「せっかく来たんだからサンドバーまで行きましょう」と、なんと母をおぶって連れて行ってくれました。感動です！！　ありがとうございました。
昼食のハンバーガーも、船でパテを焼いてて、とってもおいしかったです。
海ガメも何匹も見ることができたし、シュノーケリングもとても楽しかったです。日本語堪能のスタッフがいるので、不安は全くありませんでした。

We participated in a tour from 8 to around 10 with a one-and-a-half-year-old child, and all the staff were wonderful and kind, making it a very enjoyable experience. There is a bit of distance from the boat to the sandbar, so I think it would have been helpful to have a suggestion to bring floaties for small children who can't swim (we brought our own, so it wasn't a problem, but I think having rentals available would be good). The snacks weren't very tasty, so if they were that limited, it might be better to just offer drinks and increase the variety. If the price were a bit lower, I would definitely want to participate again.

1歳半の子連れで8時から10時頃のツアーに参加しましたが、スタッフが皆さん素晴らしく優しい方たちで、とても楽しめました。船からサンドバーまでは少し距離があるので、泳げない小さな子連れには浮き輪を持ってくるような案内があっても良かったと思います（うちは持っていっていたので問題なかったですが、貸し出しがあってもいいかと思います）
スナックはあまり美味しくなかったので、あれくらいだったらドリンクだけにしてもっと種類を増やす方がいいかと。その分もう少し安ければ、また参加したいと思います。

My wife and I participated together. The guide was very skilled in Japanese and was very considerate. However, it was disappointing that we had to carry the kayak from the shop to the beach (about 10 minutes), which was quite tiring.

妻と二人で参加しました。日本語上手なガイドさんで、とても気を遣っていただきました。ただ、カヤックをショップからビーチまで（約10分位）運んでいただけないので、かなり疲れたのが残念でした。

I participated in October 2011. I apologize for the old story. I was anxious about bringing my five-year-old twins, but thanks to Yuka (I wonder if she’s still there), everything was completely fine. The kids got so comfortable that they flew over to me while I was already in the sea. Having twins was no obstacle at all, and I’m very grateful.

2011年10月に参加しました。古い話でスミマセンが。
双子の五歳児連れで不安がありましたが、ユカさん（今もいるかな)
のおかげでまったく大丈夫。子供たちもなついて安心するあまり、
先に海に入ってた私のところに空中を飛んできました。
双子連れが全く障害にならず、感謝感謝。

I've been to Oahu about ten times, and since I lived there for a few months during a short language study program, I thought there wouldn't be any places I didn't know. But there were! (◎o◎；）Well, it's been about seven years since my last visit... There are sandbars in various places, so I wasn't expecting much, but it's still Hawaii! I'm super excited! The local crew is cheerful, and they took lots of photos. We quickly went snorkeling, saw some fish, ate sandwiches, and wrapped it up quickly. I guess I would get bored after about 30 minutes! In the afternoon, we could fit in other activities too, so it's a groundbreaking tour (＾－＾). However, while searching for sea turtles, I was excited until I saw two or three, but after that, I just swayed on the boat and relaxed...

オアフ島は、10回は来ていて
短期の語学留学で数カ月住んでいたのもあって
知らない場所もないかなぁと思ったら
あった！(◎o◎；）
まぁ最後に来たのも7年前くらいだし・・・
砂州は色んな所にあるので期待もしていなかったが
やっぱりハワイですな！
テンション上がりまくりまクリスティ～♪
現地のクルーの人達も明るいし
写真もバンバン撮ってくれて、さくっとシュノーケリングして
魚見て、サンドイッチ食って、さくっと終了～
まぁ、きっと30分もいたら飽きるっしょ！
午後は、他のアクティビティーも入れられるし
画期的なツアーですな（＾－＾）
ただ、ウミガメ探しは２，３匹見るまではテンション上がっていましたが
その後は、船にユラユラゆられ
マッタリしていた・・・

The sea didn't seem very beautiful, perhaps because it was cloudy. The bottom of the boat is designed as a toilet that directly flushes into the sea, right? There was something floating on the surface of the water that looked like a piece of wood, and when I tried to grab it and throw it far away, it turned out to be feces. Moreover, there were two spots floating around.

曇っていたせいか、海はあまりきれいに感じなかったです。船の底がトイレになって海に直接流すようになってるんですよね？海の表面になにか木切れのようなものが浮いていて、つかんで遠くに投げようとしたらそれはうんちでした。しかも２箇所にぷかぷか浮いていました。

I participated with a senior colleague from work. The staff were very friendly, and there was music playing on the boat, creating a fun atmosphere. I was expecting a BBQ on board, but it was just simple hamburgers, which was a bit disappointing. However, they were very delicious! Everyone had the chance to see dolphins and sea turtles, as we were able to enter the water twice at the designated points. The hula dancing was physically demanding, but I enjoyed the whole day. I think it would be a lot of fun to participate with a large group of friends.

会社の先輩と参加しました。
スタッフの方々がとても気さくで船上でも音楽がかかっていたりと、
楽しい雰囲気でした。
船上ではBBQと聞き、期待していましたが簡単なハンバーガーだったのが少し残念でした。とても美味しかったですが！
イルカと海亀は全員がみれるようにポイント地点では２回海に入ることができました。
体力的にフラダンスがキツかったですが一日中満喫できました。
大人数の友達と参加するととても楽しいと思いました。

I gave an ok/average rating because this was an expensive excursion and the snorkeling was not up to par. The staff was incredible---- friendly, fun and courteous, but this seemed to be a boat ride geared toward hanging out and drinking on the boat rather than seeing awesome fish, coral reefs, etc. We had 2 snorkel stops and fish/turtles were average. But the crew made sure we saw dolphins from the boat, which was cool.

As far as snorkeling, it was nothing too interesting especially because my husband and I have done amazing snorkeling in Maui and Bora Bora. If you want to drink and relax for an afternoon, this is a top choice. But, a little too expensive for what you get if you are really into snorkeling and seeing different kinds of underwater life.

First, when I was looking at the tour, I was a little hesitant to go for this as the fare is not casual to take my parents, my 3-year-old son, husband, and me. In the end, I am really proud of myself for deciding to join the tour.

It was just breathtaking: blue sky, emerald ocean, and white sand.

There were no openings for the morning tour, so I ended up on the afternoon one. The sandbar was exposed, so I was really lucky! It was fun walking in the beautiful sea and snorkeling. The hamburger was delicious.

早朝のツアーに空きかないとのことで、午後までの部になってしまいました。
サンドバーは浮き出ていてため、本当に運がよかったです！
キレイな海で歩いたり、シュノーケリングしたり楽しかったです。
ハンバーガー、おいしかったです。

The staff, including Umi-san, explained everything clearly, and we were able to see sea turtles and manta rays!

They let us enjoy snorkeling right up until the last moment, and even though it was only in the morning, I was very satisfied. ╰(*´︶`*)╯

スタッフの海ｻﾝ他が分かりやすく説明してくれて
海亀やマンタを見る事が出来ました♪

シュノーケルも時間ｷﾞﾘｷﾞﾘまで楽しませてくれて
午前のみとは言え、満足できました╰(*´︶`*)╯
