We booked a morning tour.
We went with high expectations, but it was a bit different from what we saw in books and on TV, with shallow areas that were knee-deep!
It seems that what we see in books and on TV is only during the best conditions, and this can only be left to chance. So if you lower your expectations a bit, you're sure to be incredibly moved.
Since it was our first time, we were quite excited, but next time I hope to see some sandy areas! (*^^*)
Even if there aren't any sandy areas, the contrast of that ocean is truly wonderful!
When you think of Hawaii, I would definitely rank it in my top three for nice views!
Also, the crew leader, Mike, was incredibly kind, and being able to have pleasant conversations with him was one of the reasons we had such a great experience.
It really became a wonderful memory! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

僕らは午前中のツアーを申し込みました。
二人で期待に胸膨らませ行きましたけど、本やテレビで見たのと少し違うく浅いとこでも膝ぐらいありました！
やはり本やテレビで見せられるのは最高に条件の整っている時で、これは運任せとしか言えません。だから少し期待度を下げて行くとものすごく感動すること間違いなしです。
僕らは初めてだったものだからかなり興奮しましたが、次回行った時は是非砂地が見られるといいな〜って(*^^*)
例え砂地が出てなくたって、あの海のコントラストは本当に素晴らしいものです☆
ハワイと言えば？？で僕ならTOP３に入れたいぐらいのナイスビューでした！
そしてクルーのリーダー？！のマイクがもの凄く優しく、気持ちよく会話できたのも理由の一つです。
本当にいい思い出になりました〜☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

My first time in Hawaii!! Sailing is a must!
I chose the Waikiki Rigger Catamaran from various options.
The sea breeze cutting through the wind felt amazing, and I was very satisfied with the views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the boat.
Seeing turtles and dolphins up close was truly moving! (^^)!

I also love the photos taken before boarding! They make a great memory.

I even recommended it to complete strangers! (^^)!
If I ever go to Hawaii again, I will definitely participate!

初めてのハワイ！！セーリングは外せない！
いろんなオプションの中から選んだワイキキリガー・カタマラン号
風を切って走る海風はとても気持ちよく
船上から見えるワイキキビーチやダイヤモンドヘッドの景色にも大満足ですが
まじかで見るカメやイルカには感動しました!(^^)!

乗船前に撮ってもらった写真も気に入ってます！！いい記念になります。

全く知らない人にも勧めてしまいました!(^^)!
またハワイに行くことがあったら、絶対参加します！

By chance, I was able to see a rainbow, a sea turtle, and everything. The sandbar was as beautiful as I expected, with very clear water. Although the snorkeling was brief, I saw a lot of fish. However, in terms of clarity, the waters around Kerama Islands in Okinawa are much clearer. Since it's a sandbar, there’s likely a lot of sand, and with many people snorkeling at once, the sand gets stirred up, so the visibility underwater isn't very good. However, I participated mainly to see the scenery of the sandbar, so I was quite satisfied. (By the way, the sandwich was just bread with cheese and ham, and I wasn't expecting much, but it was a bit disappointing.) Also, I didn't feel seasick at all. Perhaps because it was calm in the inland sea, the boat didn't rock much.

偶然にも虹、えい、ウミガメすべてが見れました。サンドバーも期待通りとてもきれいな海でした。シュノーケリングは短い時間ではありましたが、魚もたくさんみれました。ただ、透明度に関しては沖縄の慶良間島のほうがずっと透明です。サンドバーなだけあって砂が多いのだろうし、大勢で一度にシュノーケリングするので砂が舞い上がるのか、海の中の透明度はあまりよくないです。ただ、シュノーケリングよりサンドバーの景色を見たくて参加したので、十分満足です。（ちなみにサンドイッチはパンにチーズとハムがはさんであるものがでただけで、期待してはいませんでしたが、うーん・・・という感じでした。）それから、船酔いは全然しません。内海で静かだからかあまり船はゆれません。

The guide who picked us up in the morning spoke suspicious Japanese. Inside the car, he explained everything in English without any warnings, and we arrived at the destination. Also, this guide disappeared halfway through the return bus ride. Well, putting that guide aside, at the local boat, we were properly attended to in Japanese. What was wonderful was that we had about an hour of sandbar, turtle watching, and snorkeling, so even my wife, who can't swim, had a great time snorkeling with a life jacket and a float. For lunch, we had hamburgers, which were very delicious—I wanted a second helping. Additionally, the crew here was very cheerful and greeted us with a loud "Aloha!" which lifted our spirits. The guide who picked us up in the morning played the guitar and sang during lunchtime, but it seemed like that was his job... (not really necessary?). In particular, the boats for Japanese and foreigners were separated, but the foreigners were smoking at the sandbar and had poor manners, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it was very good.

朝迎えに来たガイドさんが、あやしい日本語でした。車内では、英語で全部説明？してるし、何の注意点もなく、現地へ到着しました。またこのガイドは、帰りのバスでは、途中で降りて消えてしまいました。まぁ、そのガイドはさておき、現地の船では日本語できちんと対応してもらいました。すばらしいのは、サンドバーとカメウォッチ、さらにはシュノーケルが１Ｈぐらいあったので、泳げない嫁でも、ライフジャケットと浮棒？でとても楽しくシュノーケルをしていました。ランチは、ハンバーグでしたがとてもおいしく、おかわりがほしいくらいでした。また、ここのクルーはとても陽気でアローーーーーーーハァーのあいさつで気分を楽しくしてくれました。朝迎えに来たガイドは、ランチタイムに、ギターを弾いて歌っていましたが、結局それが仕事みたいでした・・・（あまり必要ない人？？）とくに、日本人と外人さんの船が分かれていたのですが、外人さんは、サンドバーでもたばこを吸っていたり、マナーが悪いので、気分が少し嫌になりました。全体的にはとても良かったです

Snorkeling - Great to swim with the turtles, however no fish to really see. Provided with snorkel but not fins. maybe worth brining if you want to try and swim deeper and get to the turtles quickly before they return to the bottom. Probably saw 20-25 Turtles.
Sailing - Very cool - Fast & Fun. Saw Dolphins, Flying fish

It rained early in the morning, and it was a bit chilly, but the weather gradually improved, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful sandbar! Since I was barefoot, my feet hurt a bit on the sandbar, but I was able to enjoy it as part of the natural experience. While snorkeling, I was able to see sea turtles, corals, and various creatures living among the corals up close. My family seemed to be fine, but I got cold while snorkeling and felt chilly; however, the warm tea and mushroom soup really warmed me up. I thought I would like to visit the sandbar again at a different time in a different season if I get the chance.

早朝に雨が降り、少し肌寒い中でしたが徐々に天気も良くなりキレイなサンドバーを楽しむことが出来ました！裸足だったのでサンドバーは足が痛いところもありましたが、それも自然、と満喫できました。シュノーケリングではウミガメやサンゴ、サンゴに済む色々な生物も間近に見ることができました。家族は大丈夫だったようですが、私はシュノーケリングで体が冷えてしまって寒い思いをしましたが温かいお茶とマッシュルームのスープが体にしみました。
また機会があったら違う季節の違う時間にサンドバーに行ってみたいなと思いました。

I participated in early September. First of all, I want to thank the staff for their cheerful service. I had a very enjoyable time. I was able to see turtles up close, and it was a great tour with no complaints at all. I definitely recommend it over budget tour companies.

9月上旬に参加させていただきました。スタッフの皆さまの明るい対応にまず感謝。非常に楽しく過ごせました。亀も間近に見れましたし、全く文句なしのいいツアーでした。激安ツアー会社より、絶対お勧めです。

Fantastic day out. Tour guide Catherine was v informative and friendly. Thoroughly recommend!

I was able to see both dolphins and sea turtles, and as a bonus, I also saw a pair of spotted eagle rays, which is unique to Hawaii. It was a great experience. Thank you very much, and I plan to use your services again on my next trip to Hawaii.

イルカもウミガメもみれたし、おまけにスパイイーグル（黒に白い斑点模様のでかいエイ）のぺアーも見れました、ハワイならではですかね、いい体験ができました。ありがとうございました、次回渡ハワイの時もまた利用させてもらおうと思ってます。

I participated as a VIP, and I highly recommend the VIP course for this tour. The show while enjoying wine was quite impressive. I will recommend it to my friends.

VIPで参加しました、このツアーはVIPコースがおすすめですね、ワインを飲みながらのショーはなかなかの迫力でした。
友達にもすすめます。

I saw a similar show in Guam before, but this one had even more amazing dancing! The level of the dancers was incredible!
Before the show, there were entertainment acts where they drew pictures like tattoos with magic, and the kids enjoyed it too.
If I go to Hawaii, I want to go every time!

前にグアムでも同じ様なショーを見ましたが、こちらの方がよりダンスが凄かったです！ダンサーのレベルが半端ない！
ショーの前の余興では、マジックでタトゥーのように絵を書いてくれたりして、子供も楽しんでいました。
ハワイに行ったら、毎回でも行きたいです！

I participated on September 4th. From the moment I got on the shuttle, Beat was already giving off a fun vibe. The staff were very friendly, and I had a great time surrounded by the blue sky, blue sea, and stunning scenery that looked like a painting.

During snorkeling, I was happy to see many sea turtles. The mushroom soup was comforting for my chilled body.

The only disappointment was the DVD I signed up for, thinking it would be a family-only shoot with a professional photographer. After taking a few initial shots, when I tried to take off what I was wearing, the guide said it would be confusing, so I kept my rash guard on. However, the finished DVD only included the same shots taken by the photographer at the same location as the guide's initial photos... I was told they would chase and capture various moments, but it was disappointing that the background and everything else remained unchanged.

Other than that, I had a lot of fun, so I give it four stars.

９月４日に参加しました。もう送迎車のビートさんからすでに楽しいオーラが出てました。
スタッフの皆さんとても感じがよく、青い空、青い海、絵にかいたような素晴らしい景色の中楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
シュノーケリングではたくさんの海亀に会えてハッピーでした。冷えた体にきのこスープもしみました。
ただ一つ残念だったのは家族だけでプロカメラマンに撮影してもらえると聞いて申し込んだDVDです。
最初何枚か撮影した後に着ているものを脱ごうとしたらガイドさんにわからなくなるからと言われラッシュガードをずっと着ていましたが出来上がったDVDは最初にガイドさんが撮ってくれた同じ場所でカメラマンが撮ったものだけ・・・
追いかけて色々とってくれるからと聞いていたのに背景も何も変わらず残念でした。
それ以外はとっても楽しかったので星４つで。

We set sail from the port and first went turtle watching. The weather was clear and the wind was calm, so we were able to see several turtles, and we even happened to spot a manta ray! We spent about 40 minutes on the sandbar, doing 20 minutes each for photo taking and snorkeling. We finished everything in the morning, but I think it was a very fulfilling activity.

船で港から出港してまずは亀のウォッチングをしました。
この日はよく晴れていて風も穏やかだったので亀を何匹も見ることができて、たまたまマンタも見られました‼
サンドバーの上陸時間は40分程度で、写真撮影とシュノーケリングを20分ずつやりました。午前中に全て終わりましたがとても内容の濃いアクティビティだったと思います。

We weren't blessed with good weather, so we didn't encounter the beautiful sandbar we had imagined... However, our guide was very kind and took a lot of photos, which made it enjoyable! We were also taken to a really large coral reef, but I want to come back and try again when the weather is nice.

天気に恵まれず、想像していた美しいサンドバーには出会えませんでした…でも、ガイドの方が非常にやさしく、写真もたくさん撮ってくれて楽しかったです！すごく大きなサンゴ礁にも連れて行ってもらったけど、次は天気のいい時にリベンジしたいです。

wonderful tour had the greatest guide was able to see everything and had alot of good laughs was well worth having a tour guide

It was very hot, and waiting until the gathering was quite tough. I wish I could have waited in the shade. However, once the boat set sail, the pleasant breeze felt great. The beer we had offshore was delicious. I was satisfied. The view of Waikiki from the sea was also quite something.

とても暑く集合までの待ちがたいへんでした。日陰で待ちたかったかな？でも、船が出港してからはここちよい風で気持ちがよかったです。沖合で飲むビールのおいしかったこと。満足です。海から見るワイキキのまちもなかなかのものでしたよ。

The seat in the very front and center was great. The tribute artist's live performance was very enjoyable. I wish I could have seen some artists from the 60s. I would have liked to see more variety of artists.

一番前の真ん中の良い席で、大変良かったです。そっくりさんのライブとても楽しかったです。60年代のアーチストも見たかったかな？いろいろなアーチストをもっとやってほしかったです。

The staff were very kind! The lunch we had on the boat was delicious. Above all, the sea was beautiful, and I was really moved to see sea turtles swimming nearby! The snorkeling was conducted safely, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. Thank you very much!

スタッフの方がとても親切でした‼船の上で食べるランチも美味しかったです。
何より海がキレイで、ウミガメさんも普通に近くを泳いでたいて、とても感動しました‼シュノーケルも安全を確保して実施するので、安心して楽しめました‼ありがどうございました‼

The food was horrible and the show was okay. We did not make it in time to do any of the activities offered. My parents were there all day and enjoyed the activities more than the dinner and show.

Snorkeling was my first experience with too many people lined up for it. When I initially canceled, the refund process was slow, and even after contacting them, it took a week to get a response, which left me feeling distrustful.

シュノーケリングは人数が多すぎて列になってのシュノーケリング
初めてでした。
いったんキャンセルしたさいも返金手続きが遅くご連絡しても1週間連絡遅れ不信感いだきました。

How many Tokyo Domes is that? It might be true, but it didn't feel that spacious. Considering the price, it felt about right.

東京ドーム○個分？　確かにそうかもしれないが、そんなだだっ広い感じはしなかった。値段からいえば、まあそんなとこかなって感じ。

I experienced snorkeling for the first time at Sandbar. The weather in Waikiki was cloudy, but it was incredibly sunny at the location. It truly felt like a paradise. When I got off the boat, the coral reef made it a bit painful to walk barefoot, so I recommend wearing reef shoes. We were able to see sea turtles up close, and the kids were thrilled. The food was also very delicious. The staff was kind and it was a lot of fun. I would love to participate again with my family. I highly recommend it!

初めてサンドバ―にて、シュノ―ケリングを体験しました。ワイキキでは天気が曇っていましたが、現地はすごい晴天でした。本当に天国の海という言葉がぴったりな所でした。船からおりてみると、サンゴ礁でできているので、素足だと少し痛かったです。リ―フシュ―ズを履くことをおすすめです。ウミガメも、近くで見れて子供達も、大喜びでした。食事もとっても美味しくてよかったです。スタッフの方も親切で楽しかっタです。また家族で参加したいです。是非、超お勧めです。

The sandbar was about knee-deep, but since I had researched it in advance, it was no problem! I had a great time playing balance games on the board and splashing water with the staff.

The snacks were delicious and satisfying!

During snorkeling, a turtle swam right past me! I was surprised by how close it was. I was hesitant about snorkeling because I'm scared of the ocean, but I held onto my friend and set off. Along the way, I was able to grab onto a rescue float that the staff had, which made me feel safe and allowed me to enjoy it.

I definitely want to participate again!

サンドバーは膝下くらいの深さでしたが、事前に調べていたので問題なし！
スタッフの方と、ボードでバランスゲームしたり水のかけあいをしたりとても楽しく過ごすことができました。

軽食も美味しくて満足！！

シュノーケリングでは亀が真横を通り抜ける！
あまりの近さにびっくりしました。
海が怖いのでシュノーケリング迷いましたが、友達に掴まって出発。
途中で、スタッフの方が持っていた救助用？の浮きグッズにも捕まらせてもらって安心して楽しむことが出来ました。

また是非参加したいです！！

I was able to see sea turtles, and the sandbar was really beautiful (*^^*). The waves were higher than I imagined, but it can't be helped. If you're particular about that, it might be a good idea to check the timing for those conditions!

ウミガメも見れたし、サンドバーも
すごく綺麗でした(*^^*)
ただ想像より波が高かったけど、しょーがないですね。
こだわる人はその辺りの時間も調べるといいかも！

Experience was awesome both for fiancé and I as well as son.

There were many types of slides, but not all of them were operational. Depending on the time, some were available while others were not, and I didn't quite understand the system. The wave pool was also not always available, and after a long wait, we could only play for a short time after a group using bodyboards had priority. The food stall was quite crowded as well, and we had to wait a long time for the teriyaki burger to be ready. In the end, I even forgot to receive the bacon I ordered, which was frustrating.

The only saving grace was that my 8-year-old son enjoyed himself the entire time we were there, creating good memories for him. He especially loved the kids' slide and went down it over and over again with joy.

For those planning to visit, please note that the ground at the facility gets very hot, and my elderly father burned his toes. Beach sandals are essential for walking. Also, I think choosing a plan that includes bodyboarding in the wave pool would be much more enjoyable. The staff were mostly young and unfriendly, so just keep that in mind when participating in the tour. Additionally, even though we were supposed to enter an hour early, we had to wait over 30 minutes before the children's pool was available, which was unacceptable. It would have been better if there had been prior explanations.

スライダーの種類は多かったのに、全て稼働している訳ではなく、時間によって利用出来たり出来なかったり、システムが良く分かりませんでした。波の出るプールも常時利用出来る訳ではなく、かなり待たされた挙句、ボディボードの集団が優先的に利用した後に、短い時間でしか遊べませんでした。売店もかなりの混み具合で、ここでも照り焼きバーガーが出るまでにかなり待たされ、挙句の果てにオーダーしたベーコンをもらい忘れる羽目になり、散々でした。
唯一の救いは8歳の息子が、施設に入ってから退園するまでずっと楽しんでいたので、子供には良い思い出になったことです。特に、子供用のスライダーは大のお気に入りで、何回も何回も滑って喜んでいました。
これから利用される方に注意点として、施設の地面はかなりの熱さで同行した高齢の父は足の指をやけどしました。歩く時にはビーチサンダルが不可欠です。それから、波の出るプールはボディーボードを利用したプランを選んだ方が全然楽しめると思いました。施設のスタッフは若い人が多く、無愛想なのでそんなもんだと思ってツアーに参加して下さい。また、1時間早く入園出来たはずなのに、子供用のプールが利用出来るまでに30分以上待たされたのは、納得いきませんでした。事前の説明があればよかったのですが。

I used this service with my elderly parents and my family of three. We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, but I couldn't understand the guide's fast-paced explanations, and I would like to request a bit more consideration for the users. It may be routine work for them, but I hope for a more professional approach.

During snorkeling, we were able to see many fish, but the time was short and it ended in no time. I was also expecting a sandbar as advertised, but there was surprisingly a lot of water, which was a bit disappointing.

高齢の両親と家族3人で利用しました。マンタとウミガメには会えましたが、ガイドの早口な説明は何を言っているのか理解できず、もう少し利用者に配慮をお願いしたいと思いました。彼らにはルーチンワークなのでしょうがないのかもしれませんが、プロフェッショナルな対応を望みます。
シュノーケリングでは沢山の魚を見ることが出来ましたが、時間が短くあっという間に終わってしまいました。
また、広告にあるようなサンドバーを期待していましたが、以外と水が多くて少しがっかりしました。

This was an amazing sunset dinner cruise for my girlfriend and I. We had attended this cruise as a birthday gift to her, and it felt like we were on a honeymoon. This cruise is meant for couples because it is amazingly breathtaking with the view of Diamond Head crater, the deep blue ocean, and the beautiful shores of Waikiki. Then to top it all off with a sunset upon our west coast beaches.

We had a wonderful time here. Our driver and escort provided lively Hawaiian music,taught us about sacred Hawaiian land, historic places where movies were filmed, and a list of Hawaiian vocabulary. As we got there we were greeted by employees while checking in. We saw every village and participated in some activities. We learned how to dance hula and play the ukulele. We also got to see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Luau portion was the best! I have never been satisfied with an endless luau buffet.Food was great but I have only one suggestion which is make sure you don't eat too much because you still need to attend the show HA The Breath of Life. The show was awesome with historic facts of how children were raised with the sense of Ohana in Hawaii. After watching this show my girlfriend and I are aware of how and what life means to the Hawaiians.Ultimately if you are planning on visiting Oahu and was interested in this activity, then don't hesitate to book it!

We participated as a couple with our 9-year-old daughter. We arrived at the venue around 9 AM and stayed until about 3 PM. Initially, I was worried about whether we could enjoy ourselves for six hours, but there were so many attractions, each with slightly different ways to enjoy them, that both our daughter and the adults had plenty of fun. The only downside was that the Shaka was closed. We chose the standard plan, which did not include meals or free drinks, but it was not a problem; in fact, this plan is cheaper, and I would recommend the standard plan. There are height restrictions for some attractions, so I would particularly recommend it for kids around the third grade.

夫婦、娘９歳と参加しました。
９時頃に現地到着、１５時頃まで園内にいました。
当初は６時間も遊べるものかと心配しましたが、アトラクションの数が多く、それぞれ楽しみ方が少しづつ異なるため、娘はもちろん大人も十分に楽しめました。
唯一、シャカがクローズされていたのは残念。
食事・フリードリンク共に無しのスタンダードプランでしたが、特に問題ありませんでしたというか、こちらのプランの方が安いですし、スタンダードプランがお勧めです。
アトラクションにより、身長制限がありますので、小３くらいからが、特にお勧めですかね。
