Upon going to the sandbar for the first time, I decided to give Captain Bob's Kaneohe Bay a try. So glad I did because I had an amazing time on this cruise. All of the employees were super nice and made sure everyone felt safe & comfortable on the cruise. The sandbar was absolutely stunning! The crew set up a volleyball net which allowed for all of us to have a fun match of beach volleyball at the sandbar. Those that didn't want to participate were able to walk around the sandbar at their leisure. I enjoyed that this cruise was away from all of the other cruises and boats in the area. It was like we had our own secluded little area. The food was delicious and afterwards we cruised over to a reef area to snorkel. Along the way, the captain went slow to make sure we got a chance to see all of the sea turtles floating on the surface of the ocean. We saw so many of them! The area we snorkeled in was amazing. I saw so many different kinds of fish and several sea turtles that literally swim right next to us. I had an amazing time and photos to last a lifetime. If you are thinking about doing a cruise to the sandbar, look no further. Would absolutely go again!

I was able to see a lot of whales!
I participated around the second week of March.
I was really moved to see the spouts and tails multiple times.
On the way back, I encountered a pod of dolphins and was able to see them up close.

I didn't understand any English, but I was able to manage by mimicking others:
- Put shoes in a box before boarding
- Get drinks on the boat
(Since everyone was putting tips in the box, I did too)
- Put tips in the box when getting off

I was quite anxious because I didn't know what time or where the pickup would be, and the people I was with on the way there somehow took an Uber back.
After waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes, the pickup arrived, and I was able to return safely, but I should have confirmed it on the bus going there.

クジラたくさん観れました！
3月の2週目くらいに参加しました。
潮吹きや尾びれが何度もみれて、すごく感動しました。
帰りにはイルカの群れに遭遇して、
近くでみることができました。

英語は全く分かりませんでしたが、
・靴を箱にいれて乗船する
・ドリンクは船の中でもらえる
(みんなは箱にチップいれてたのでいれた)
・降りるとき箱にチップいれる
はみんなの真似してできたので困りませんでした。

帰りのお迎えが何時にどこへ来るか分からず、
行きで一緒だった人たちも何故かウーバーで帰って行ったのでかなり不安になりました。
15~20分くらい待っていたら、迎えが来てくれて無事帰れましたが、行きのバスで確認しておくべきでしたね。

Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I was anxious about driving a rental car, and parking fees at hotels in Hawaii are high, so I opted for a plan that included transportation to the hotel. It took about 40 minutes by car from Waikiki using the freeway, and it was reassuring to have the shuttle service, especially since I could take a nap on the way back from swimming. (It would be helpful if the average tip for drivers could be displayed in advance on Japanese reservation sites, as there are also preparations for cash.)

In the morning, our driver was Jen, who spoke Japanese and kindly gave us advice on how to enjoy the park, which made me feel at ease. Other staff members did not speak Japanese. Most of the customers were Japanese families. For those with children, this water theme park, which is not found in Japan, is definitely worth visiting as kids will surely enjoy it.

The staff members were all well-built, which gave a sense of security, as I thought they might be lifeguards. Fortunately, it wasn't crowded, so the kids were able to try their favorite slides multiple times without waiting in line and had a great time. We were able to secure a spot with an umbrella, bought food, and ate there before playing again; the time flew by.

Attractions and pools required us to be barefoot, so I was sliding around with sandals in hand, but since it wasn't a particularly sunny day, I ended up going barefoot to move around. Perhaps because it wasn't crowded, the attractions were closing alternately at certain times. It was unfortunate that the lazy river was closed for the day. However, the wave pool was fun, with big waves coming in occasionally, making it feel like we were floating in the ocean.

I was too scared of the height to try the Shaka, but my husband and kids said it was fun and went on it multiple times. Other elementary school kids were also trying it repeatedly. The Tornado was incredibly fun, and I even tried it several times. The other slides were also enjoyable as they involved riding on large inflatable rings, which added to the sense of security.

ハワイは初めてだったのでレンタカーでの運転に不安がある上、ハワイはホテルでも駐車場代が高いのでホテルまでの送迎付きプランを申し込みました。
ワイキキからフリーウェイを使って車で40分くらい、泳いだ帰りに寝ることもでき送迎が安心でした。(こういうドライバーさんへのチップの相場を日本人向け予約サイトであらかじめ表示してもらえたら迷わなくてありがたいです。お札の用意とかもあるので。)
朝のお迎えが日本語話せるジェンさんで、とても親切に園内の過ごし方のアドバイスもらえて安心しました。
中のスタッフさんは、ジェンさん以外は日本語話していませんでした。
お客さんのほとんどは日本人ファミリーでした。
お子さんのいる方は日本に無い水のテーマパークで、子どもが喜ぶこと間違いないと思うので行く価値あります。
スタッフさんたちはライフセーバーなのかなと思うような、体格よい人ばかりで安心感ありました。
運良く混んでいなかったので、子どもたちは好きなスライダーを並ぶ時間かからず何回もトライでき満喫していました。
パラソルのある席を場所取りでき、ご飯を買ってそこで食べてまた遊んで時間はあっという間でした。
アトラクションやプール内は裸足にならないといけないので手にサンダルを引っかけて滑っていましたが、日差しがあまり強く無い日だったので途中から裸足になって移動しました。
混んでいなかったためか、アトラクションを一定の時間で交互にCLOSEしていました。流れるプールは1日CLOSEで残念でした。でも波のあるプールは、時々大きな波が来て、海に浮かんでいるみたいで面白かったです。
シャカは私は高さが怖くてトライしませんでしたが、夫も子どもも楽しいと言って何回もやっていました。
他にも小学生くらいの子が何回もトライしていました。
トルネードは最高に面白く、私でも何回もトライしました。
他のスライダーも大きな浮き輪に乗って滑るので安心感があり面白かったです。

The sea was beautiful. I was able to see turtles, but given the price, I'm not sure if it was worth it. I might not go again next time.

海は綺麗でした。
カメも見れましたが、値段が値段なので相応のツアーかは？です。
次回は行かないかな。

This was our 2nd time doing the Dolphins and You Tour (we did it in 2017). Last time was amazing as we had a very calm day and saw lots of dolphins. This time it was quite rough and we did not get an opportunity to swim in the ocean with them.
We did enjoy our time anchored in the bay, where we snorkeled, kayaked and swam. Lunch was delicious and the crew was terrific.
Even despite not seeing dolphins, it was a lovely day.

I enjoyed the attractions, especially the bodyboard included in this plan. There was no shuttle service, so I went by rental car, which was inexpensive. It was nice to stop by the nearby outlet as well.

アトラクション、特にこのプランに付いてるボディボードは楽しめました。
送迎なし、レンタカーで行きましたが安くすみました。
近くのアウトレットにも寄れて良かったです

We considered spending time by the pool in Hawaii, but the attractions were enjoyable for both adults and children. We wanted to keep costs down, so we went without a shuttle and used a rental car, which was not a problem. There were also Japanese staff who were very friendly.

せっかくのハワイでプールも…とも考えましたが
アトラクションは大人も子供も楽しめました。
安くすませたくて、送迎なし、レンタカーで行きましたが問題ありません。
日本人スタッフもいて、親切でした。

It was raining heavily and cold, but I was able to see the honu! The driver who picked us up to the boat and the staff on the boat were very kind. Thanks to someone who could speak Japanese, they provided detailed guidance on points to be careful with small children and played with them in the sea, making it a truly enjoyable time! Even in the rain, we were able to see into the water, and when the honu swam by, we could see it up close! Since my children, aged 3 and 7, can't swim, we rented a special boat. Thanks to the boat, everyone was able to see the honu and was very happy! Drinks and snacks were free, which was a great service for the kids who got a little hungry!

すごーく雨が降り寒かったですが、ホヌに会うことができました！
船までの送迎の運転手の方も、船のスタッフも大変親切な方でした。日本語が話せる方がいてくださったおかげで、小さな子供への注意点なども詳しく案内してくださったり、子供と海で遊んでいただけて本当に楽しい時間でした！雨でも海の中を見ることができ、ホヌが泳いだら姿も身近で確認できました！3歳と7歳の子供は泳げないので、専用のボートを借りました。ボートのおかげでみんなホヌを見ることができて喜んでました！飲み物やスナックはフリーでしたので、小腹が空いた子供達にとっても有難いサービスでした！

We had such a great day!! The crew was fantastic.
We loved going out to the beautiful sandbar and getting to look back at the beautiful island!!
We saw a sea turtle on the snorkel part of the excursion and so many fish!! Thanks for a great day.

We had a wonderful time and the food was yummy! We had a blast and this cruise is totally appropriate for kids and family’s. The staff was amazing and super friendly!!!

Went here last year during the firework show 10/10

This was a great experience. The Captain was very attentive (I didn’t know how to snorkel but he took the time to try and guide me) the staff was super helpful and informative. They provided snacks and coffee. The water was beautiful and we saw lots of turtles. I would highly recommend this tour you will love it.

Amazing!!!! Great tour, including seeing multiple whale contacts.
Weather and boat were awesome, and the crew were amazing, being informative and making sure all the guests were happy and involved.
This was our second year of touring with this catamaran and even though I do not really like the water, it was fun, relaxing, and thrilling all at the same time.

Hopefully will have another one soon! Everything was great!

We had a great time! The dancers, food, and everything was enjoyable!

My 3 teen daughters and I had a great trip. Julia was a fantastic tender and our capain was so helpful all around. The BBQ was enjoyed by all. We made 3 mini stops along the way, first at the sandbar, next at a turtle watching spot and finally snorkeling where we saw 2 turtles and a ton of fish. Highly recommend!!

We had a great day touring Oahu with Travis. We hit many scenic stops and several food stops. This was a fun way to tour the island and learn about the history and culture. I would highly recommend doing this tour.

The volcanic activity has already calmed down, allowing us to see the areas where lava has flowed and solidified. However, gas is still continuously being emitted, and we can observe that extensive volcanic activity is occurring underground from above.

It was both terrifying and moving to see from the helicopter how the lava flowed over a vast area, causing an entire village to disappear.

I received an email the day before asking me to confirm my reservation by phone, but I was participating in another tour, and when I tried to contact them, no one answered the emergency contact number. Even after leaving a message on the voicemail and sending an email, I received no response.

Moreover, despite it being clearly stated that lunch was included, when I asked the guide around noon, I was told that this tour did not include lunch, and I was even laughed at. I found out on the day that the flight times to Hawaii Island and Oahu Island were completely different, which really stressed me out.

I at least wanted lunch to be provided. For some reason, I was taken to a Japanese-owned bakery in a rural town that I had no interest in, and I wondered what the point was of being asked in advance what I wanted to eat.

The guide provided very little explanation about historical events or legends, mostly just talking about the eruptions from a few years ago. I was disappointed as the stories were only what I had already read in the news or guidebooks.

すでに火山活動は落ち着いているので、溶岩が流れて固まった後をみることができ、まだガスは継続して出続けているので、広大な範囲で火山活動が地下で起こっていることも上空から見ることができます。

ものすごく広い範囲に溶岩が流れ、村ひとつが消滅していってしまったことがヘリから見られて、恐ろしくもあり、感動でもありました。

前日にメールが来て、予約確認の連絡を電話するように書かれて来ましたが、別のツアーに参加していて連絡が遅くなると閉まっていて緊急連絡先にさえ誰も出ず。留守番電話にメッセージを残しても、メールで返事をしても向こうからの返信はありませんでした。

しかも「昼食付」としっかり書かれていたのに、１２時頃にガイドに聞くと、このツアーには昼食は付いていないと言われ、かつ、鼻で笑われました。ハワイ島に向かう飛行機の時間も、オアフ島に向かう飛行機の時間も全く違うことが当日に分かり、本当に焦りました。

せめて昼食は出してほしかったです。なぜか全く興味のない田舎町の日本人経営のパン屋に連れていかれましたが、事前に食べたいものを聞かれた意味はなんだったんでしょうか。

ガイドも歴史的なことや伝説はほとんど説明がなく、数年前の噴火の話ばかり。ニュースやガイドブックに載っていた話だけだったのでがっかりでした。

This time, I participated in a limited-capacity monitor show without meals, along with my girlfriend on her first overseas trip. I initially thought there would be many Japanese tourists, but over 80% of the audience was foreign, and the energy was very much in line with international standards, which made it interesting and enjoyable.

The show started with dances and music that touched on Hawaii's history and culture. In the middle, Elvis and Michael joined in, and the show heated up to its peak. As a fan of Elvis and Michael, I certainly enjoyed it, but my girlfriend, who isn't very familiar with Western music, was also thoroughly satisfied and had a great time.

The production and music were wonderful, and overall, it was a very captivating show. Furthermore, the expressions and gestures of the performers conveyed their pride in and love for their culture. It was a valuable experience to understand Hawaii's culture and history and to connect with the charm of the land.

I highly recommend this fantastic show to everyone. Next time, I would like to make a reservation that includes a meal! You will have an amazing night, so definitely consider participating! Mahalo!

今回は食事無しの人数限定のモニターショー初海外旅行の彼女と2人で参加しました。
日本人観光客が多いのかなとの印象でしたが8割以上が外国人の方で盛り上がり方も海外仕様でその点も面白く参加できて良かった。

ショーの内容は前半はハワイの歴史や文化に触れる踊りや音楽からスタート。
中盤からはエルヴィスやマイケルが参加しショーはヒートアップし盛り上がりが最絶頂でした。
私はエルヴィス・マイケルのファンでもちろん楽しむこともできましたが、
洋楽をあまり知らない彼女も十分満足し楽しんでました。

演出や音楽も素晴らしく、全体として非常に魅力的なショーでした。さらに、出演者たちの表情や仕草から、彼らがその文化に誇りを持ち、心から愛していることが伝わってきました。ハワイの文化や歴史を理解することができ、その土地の魅力に触れることができた貴重な体験でした。
全ての方におすすめできる、素晴らしいショーでした。

次回は食事ありで予約してみたいと思います！
最高の一夜を過ごせるのでぜひ参加してみてください！
マハロ！

This was my first time participating. It took about an hour to get to the location from the Waikiki area. After taking a short nap with the kids, our excitement grew as we arrived. The weather was a bit cloudy, but when the sun came out, it got really hot. There were Japanese staff members, so I didn't have any particular issues. I think it was less than ten minutes after we set sail, but we quickly arrived at the destination and headed straight to the sandbar. At first, the water felt cold, but we got used to it right away, and the kids were having a blast! After that, we went snorkeling. We saw a turtle right after we set sail, but during snorkeling...

今回、初めて参加させて頂きました。
ワイキキエリアからは1時間程度で現地に着けました。子供達と一緒に軽い仮眠を取り現地に着くと、テンションは上がって来ました。天気は多少曇ってはいましたが、日が当たると一気に暑くなりました。日本人スタッフもいて、特に困る事はありませんでした。出航して、10分も経っていないと思いますが、あっという間に現地に着き、早速サンドバーへ。最初は冷たいと感じましたがすぐに慣れて、はしゃぐ子供達♪その後シュノーケリングへ。出航直後にもカメさんに会いましたがシュノーケリング中には

I participated with my mother/daughter! In the morning, the weather was bad, and there was thunder and rain in the distance, but by early afternoon it cleared up, and I was so happy to see dolphins and whales up close. It was quite rocky, so those prone to seasickness should be careful! Snorkeling was fun, but the waterslide was absolutely amazing and gave a fantastic sense of freedom! The friendly staff and the Japanese guide made it easy to enjoy the experience until the end. I want to participate again with my friends! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Mahalo!!

母/娘で参加しました！
朝は天候が悪く、遠くの方で雷雨も鳴ってましたが昼過ぎには晴れてきてイルカもクジラも近くで見ることができ、嬉しかったです。かなり揺れたので船酔いする方は注意！シュノーケルも楽しかったですがウォータースライダーが開放感抜群で最高でした！フレンドリーなスタッフの皆さんと日本人のガイドさんもいたので安心して最後まで楽しむことができました。
また友達と参加したいと思います！
心からありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

We participated as a family of ten, including my parents and siblings. Both the guide and staff were very kind, and we had a great time. The weather was nice, and the beautiful sea and sky were amazing! The water temperature was a bit cold, but it was manageable once we got used to it. The sandbar was knee-deep, and we could swim comfortably at the snorkeling point, where we also saw fish in the coral area. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and everything was great. It was a satisfying tour for the whole family.

両親と兄弟家族で10人で参加しました。ガイドもスタッフもとても親切ですごく楽しめました。
天気もよく、きれいな海！空！最高でした！水温は少し冷たいですが、入っているうちに慣れる程度でした。サンドバーの深さは膝ぐらい、シュノーケリングポイントでも気持ちよく泳げて珊瑚のエリアでは魚もみることが出来ました。ランチのハンバーガーもおいしくて何から何までよかったです。家族みんな満足なツアーでした。

We had a great time and felt safe! The coffee was awesome!

My only complaint was that I couldn't see the sunset and the show at the same time. But it was so wonderful and relaxing. The food was great. The entertainment was amazing. The view was breathtaking.

The staff were all incredibly cheerful and kind, making my time there very enjoyable. I wasn't expecting much from the lunch hamburger, but it was surprisingly delicious. There was plenty of free time, and I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling, and I was able to see turtles as well. I'm glad I signed up for the tour! Although rain was forecasted, we miraculously had sunny then cloudy weather, and it wasn't particularly cold, so I had a great day. I would love to sign up for the sandbar tour again.

とにかくスタッフの方達、全員すごく楽しげな親切な人達ばかりでとても楽しく過ごせました。ランチのハンバーガーもそれほど期待していなかったのですが、すっごく美味しくて驚きました。自由時間も十分にありますし、シュノーケリングも十分に楽しめますし、亀もしっかり見れましたし、ツアー申し込んで良かったです！雨の予報でしたが、奇跡的に晴れのち曇りという天気で特に寒い事もなく1日過ごせました。またサンドバーのツアー申し込みたいぐらいです。

It was an affordable price, but with beautiful scenery and lovely boats, I was satisfied because I saw whales twice. Even when I got motion sickness, they responded quickly.

お手頃な値段だけど、綺麗な景色、綺麗なボートで、クジラが2回も見れたので、満足です。乗り物酔いになってしまった時も、素早い対応をしていただきました。

There were no issues with the pickup from the hotel, the guidance to the boarding, or the transfer to the hotel after disembarking.

As for the whales, they would briefly appear at the surface and then dive below for about 15 minutes. Many participants were intently watching the surface of the water, and when a whale did appear, cheers erupted, with everyone shifting their gaze in that direction, repeating this process.

My initial expectation was to see the whales up close while being splashed by seawater, but it turned out to be more of a distant viewing experience. The captain made efforts to capture them on camera, but I felt that approaching this with high expectations carries significant risks.

集合ホテルからのピックアップ、乗船迄の誘導、下船後のホテルへの移動については全く問題ありませんでした。
問題のクジラですが、水面に僅かに姿を現したかと思うと、15分程度海面下に潜ってしまいます。
多数の参加者が目を凝らして海面を注視しているので、現れると歓声が上がり、そちらの方向に全員が視線を移す、と言う繰り返し。
事前のイメージでは、海水を浴びながらクジラを間近で見られる、と言うモノでしたが、かなり遠景でのウォッチングでした。
船長さんも努力下さり、何とかカメラには納められましたが、大きな期待を持って臨むにはリスクが高いと思いました。

The friendliest staff and best boat ride around! Best day ever!!

Food was really yummy, and the entertainment was so fun! A fun date night away from restaurants

Been to PH a few years ago, and this tour was a good tour to get what you want to really see Arizona and Missouri
