I participated in early May. On that day, Waikiki was sunny, but Kaneohe was cloudy with occasional rain. Perhaps because the weather wasn't good, it was very cold both on the boat and in the water. Everyone wrapped their jackets and towels around themselves to somehow endure the cold, wind, and rain; it felt like a training session. There were no seats available that could shield us from the rain and wind, so I was standing the whole time on the boat, which was tiring. It was disappointing that the price didn't match the experience...
5月上旬に参加しました。当日、ワイキキは快晴でしたが、カネオヘは曇り時々雨でした。天気が良くなかったからか、船上も水中もとっても寒かったです。全員持参した上着やタオルを体中に巻いてなんとか寒さと風と雨をしのぎ、まるで修行のような時間でした。雨&風を防げる座れる席がなかったため、船に乗っている間中、ずっと立ちっぱなしで疲れました。値段と割が合わなくて残念でした…。

After the wedding went off without a hitch, we spent the next day at the sandbar, having safely delivered our family and guests to the airport. However, despite the clear weather the day before, it rained on and off that day, and the temperature was low, so we ended up shivering as we entered the sandbar. Still, since it was the day after such a significant event, it became a nice memory for us to relax and enjoy together.
結婚式が無事に終わり、家族や参列者を無事に空港まで送り届けた翌日の二人の時間をサンドバーで過ごしました。
しかしながら、前日までの晴天もこの日は雨が降ったり止んだりで気温が低く、折角のサンドバーもブルブル震えながら入る事になりました、、、
それでも無事に終わった一大イベントの翌日なので、二人でゆっくり楽しめた事はいい思い出になりました。

I participated in the afternoon session. The weather was very nice, and since the instructor was Japanese, I felt reassured. About 60 people boarded the same boat at once. Most of them were newlyweds or couples.
The sandbar was about knee-deep, but it was incredibly beautiful and I was moved. If you ask the instructor, they will take wonderful photos for you. The meal afterward was hearty and very delicious!
When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, everyone jumped in and started swimming. Many people gave up because it was cold, but the water was warm and there were plenty of fish, so I recommend swimming.
At that time, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle that was either sleeping or just staying still, and I was able to see it up close!
午後の部に参加しました。
お天気がとても良く、インストラクターの方も日本の方なので安心でした。
60人くらいが一気に同じ船に乗ります。

On the day I participated, due to the tides, the water was at least knee-deep at its shallowest, so I couldn't see the sandbar. However, I was able to see many beautiful fish while snorkeling, and the hamburger for lunch was really delicious.

Positive aspects: The cheerful local guide in the blue T-shirt made a great impression, and during lunch, he played the guitar and sang beautifully. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish around.
Negative aspects: The boat was very cold, and people around me were shivering while eating. The snorkeling gear was reused, and although it was soaked in disinfectant, many of them were still dirty with foundation and other residues. It would be impossible for someone who is sensitive about cleanliness. Additionally, the water in the two simple toilets on the boat did not flow at all, which was the most troublesome issue.
良かった点・・・青いTシャツを着た陽気な現地ガイドのおじさんはとても印象が良く、お昼ご飯の時もずっとギターの弾き語りをしてくれ、歌もとても上手でした。シュノーケリングも魚が沢山いて、とても楽しかったです。
残念だった点・・何しろ船上が寒い。周りの人も震えながらご飯を食べていた。スノーケルが使い回しの物なので、消毒液に浸かってはいるが、ファンデーションとかがべったり付いたままの不潔な物が多い。神経質な人にはまず到底無理。あと船に二つある簡素なトイレの水が一切流れず、それが一番困った。

I participated in the morning tour on May 30th. After being picked up from the hotel around 7:00 AM, we rode the bus for about 40 minutes to the harbor. Once we arrived, we took a restroom break and boarded the boat. There were about 20 to 30 passengers on the boat, and I think they were all Japanese. The local guide, a young woman, provided explanations in Japanese.
As we enjoyed the view of the mountains often used for movie shoots from the boat, we headed to the sea turtle spot in Kaneohe Bay. The guide mentioned that "the wind was calm and the sea was clear," and indeed, the water was transparent, allowing us to see the coral reefs and sea turtles beautifully. Many sea turtles appeared!
After watching the sea turtles, we finally headed to the sandbar. On that day, the tide was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar exposed (the sandbar appears on specific days and times, and it's said to be rare, happening only two or three times a week). However, it was quite a strange feeling to have shallow water up to my shins in the middle of the ocean, and the scenery was beautiful and moving!
After taking plenty of photos at the sandbar, we returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling at the edge of the sandbar (where it gets deeper). The coral reefs and fish were beautiful, but with about 60 people snorkeling from two boats, it was fine going out, but on the way back, I almost collided with incoming people, and trying to avoid them made it hard to stay on course. The latter part was not really about enjoying the coral reefs. *sigh*
After snorkeling, we were served ham and cheese sandwiches and tea on the boat as we returned to the harbor. (While on the boat, there were about six types of soft drinks, including cola, available for free. If you ask the guide, she will refill your cup.) When we got off the boat, there was a request for tips, so I put some in the can provided on the boat.
I think we returned to the hotel around 11 AM.
There isn't a place or timing to change, so I think it's essential to wear clothes that are okay to get wet over your swimsuit and to bring a few towels. Also, as it got closer to noon, the sun became stronger, and I got quite sunburned, so sun protection is a must. It was a short tour, but it was a great experience that you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I went! (*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)
5/30の朝のツアーに参加しました。
AM7:00過ぎにホテルピックアップで40分くらいバスに揺られてハーバーへ。
着いたらトイレ休憩してボートに乗りました。ボートには2~30人のお客さんが乗って(日本人しか居なかったと思います)出発。
ボートの上で日本人の現地ガイドのお姉さんが日本語で説明をしてくれました。
ボートから映画の撮影に良く使われる山並みを眺めながら、カネオヘ湾の海亀スポットへ。この日は「風が弱く海が澄んでいる」とガイドのお姉さんが言っていましたが、本当に海が透明で珊瑚礁と海亀が凄く綺麗に見れました。海亀はいっぱい現れましたよ。
海亀ウォッチングの後はいよいよサンドバーへ。この日は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが陸になっている状態は見れませんでした(サンドバーは陸が現れる日と時間が決まっていて、なかなかお目にかかれません。そんな日は週に2.3日らしいです)でも海の真ん中に足のスネくらいまでの浅瀬があること自体凄く不思議な感じがして、景色も綺麗で感動しました!
サンドバーでひとしきり写真を撮ったら、ボートに戻って準備してサンドバーの端(深くなっていくところ)をシュノーケルしました。珊瑚礁と魚が綺麗でしたが、30人のボート2台分で約60人くらいが一気にシュノーケルするので、行きはいいんですが折り返し地点から折り返そうとすると、向かってくる人とぶつかりそうになったり、人を避けようとするとコースから外れそうになったりして、後半は珊瑚礁どころじゃなかったです。苦笑
シュノーケルが終わるとボートでハムとチーズのサンドイッチとお茶が配られて食べながら帰港しました。(ボートに乗っている間、コーラなど6種類くらい?のソフトドリンクが飲み放題でした。お姉さんにお願いすればコップについでもらえます)
ボートを降りる時にチップのお願いがあったのでボートに設置の缶にチップを入れて降りました。
バスに乗って、ホテルに帰って来たのはAM11時台だったと思います。
着替える場所、タイミングは無いので濡れたままの水着の上に来ても大丈夫な服と、タオル数枚は必須だと思います。あと昼に近づくにつれ日差しが強くなってきてかなり焼けたので日焼け対策も必須だと思います。短い時間のツアーでしたが、なかなか出来ない体験が出来るツアーなので行ってよかったです(*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)

I participated with my wife and mother. Unfortunately, the weather was cloudy with occasional rain, which dampened our spirits a bit, but thanks to the staff's enthusiasm, we had a great time. First, the sea turtles were quite elusive, but finally, one appeared in the distance, and everyone was excited! We checked the tide schedule for the sandbar and arrived just as the tide was low enough to expose it to our ankles, allowing us to take photos in various poses. We walked about 100 meters from the boat to the sandbar, and since the water depth near the boat was about 80 cm, it seemed difficult for my 88-year-old mother to disembark and walk, so we decided to have her wait on the boat. My wife and I headed to the sandbar, but when we looked back towards the boat, we saw my mother being helped by two staff members as they brought her over. Thanks to them, my mother safely arrived at the sandbar and was very happy. I was moved by the kindness, thoughtfulness, and consideration of the staff. The sea, scenery, and the tour itself were wonderful, but the staff who supported it were also amazing.
家内と母親と3名で参加しました。当日はあいにく曇り、時々雨という天気で、気分も曇りがちでしたが、スタッフの方々の盛り上げで楽しいひと時を過ごすことが出来ました。まず海がめ、
なかなか現れませんでしたが、やっと一匹遠くに現れ、みんな大騒ぎ!でした。サンドバーは一番潮が引く時間を調べて参加したので、予定通り足首位いまで潮が引き、思い思いのポーズで写真を撮り合いました。船からサンドバーまで約100m位歩き、また下船するあたりの水深は80cm位あるので、88歳のの母親には下船し歩くのは無理そうでしたので、船で待ってもらう事し、家内と二人でサンドバーに向かいましたが、我々がサンドバー近くで船の方向を見ると、母親がスタッフ二人にに両脇を抱えられてこちらに向かってくるのが分かりました。お陰様で母親もサンドバーに無事到着し大変喜びでした。スタッフの方々の優しさ、思いやり、そして気配りに感動しました、海も風景も企画も素晴らしいツアーですが、それを支えるスタッフの皆さんも素晴らしい方々です。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are truly glad that your entire family was able to enjoy the sandbar. It's great to hear that a sea turtle also showed up! We all look forward to welcoming you back again.

It was a day with cloudy skies and occasional rain when I visited (during Golden Week in 2015), but fortunately, it hardly rained at all, and the weak sunlight occasionally broke through, making the color of the sea shine beautifully.
When a sea turtle popped its head up from the boat, it truly made my heart flutter! Just seeing the turtle (which is called "honu" in Hawaiian) is so soothing! For a while after returning home, just thinking about the honu brought me peace of mind.
I really want to go see the honu again! I highly recommend this tour where you can see such turtles! I hope to join the sandbar tour again next time when the weather is nice. I was also able to snorkel with peace of mind.
Everyone, please consider joining this tour!
私が行ったときは曇り時々雨、、というのが気になった日(2015年のGW)でしたが、幸いほとんど雨も降ることなく、弱い日差しが時々入り込み、そのときは海の色が輝いてとてもきれいでした。
そしてウミガメさんが船上から顔を出してくれた時は、本当に心トキメキものでした!!
カメ(ハワイ語ではホヌというんですって)って、ただ見るだけで癒されるんですね~!
帰国後しばらくは、ホヌ様のことを考えているだけで、心ホッとしたものです。。

I love Hawaii and its people, so I don't want to write anything negative, but it was just too terrible...
- We gathered early in the morning at the Sheraton meeting point. However, even when it was time to gather, there was no sign of the guide or bus. After waiting for nearly 20 minutes, and seeing that others with the same voucher were also anxious, I called the number on the voucher. The response was normal (in English), and the bus arrived shortly after.
- The person who came out was a dark-skinned man (somewhat homeless-looking). He didn't say a word about the delay and led us into the vehicle without any friendliness.
- Well, we tried to shake it off and after a few minutes on the bus, we arrived at the port. I was excited, but there was no sign of any boat arriving. The guide didn't even say "just wait a moment," and was off to the side smoking a cigarette. He really didn't say anything at all.
- After waiting another 20 minutes, two boats finally arrived, and I thought we could finally board! However, the preparations were slow. Just when I thought we were ready to board, they said, "Americans, Canadians, and Australians, please go to this boat!" and we were directed to board first. After that, a few groups of Japanese people were called to the same boat. Once they all boarded, they said, "The remaining Japanese, come over here!" (in a joking manner, all in English) and directed us to a different boat. While I didn't feel much difference in the facilities or crowding on the boats, I experienced a sense of racial discrimination for the first time in Hawaii. After being made to wait for so long, to receive that kind of treatment without even an apology was quite unpleasant. It wasn't that one boat was entirely in English and they separated people based on language ability; both were guided in Japanese.
- The subsequent service was fairly normal and somewhat friendly, and the experience in the beautiful sea was enjoyable.
- However, considering the poor service, I cannot recommend this place. I think it would be better to choose another tour company if there is one available.
- Also, according to Hawaii state law, life jackets are mandatory, and everyone was wearing them on the dolphin tour the day before, but on this tour, they said, "If you're confident, it's okay not to wear one!" Is safety management okay?
- That's all. I often use Veltra, but the operators they recommend are honestly really bad.
ハワイとハワイの人達は好きなのでなるべく悪いことは書きたくないものの、あまりにも酷かったので。。
・シェラトンの集合場所に朝早く集合。しかし、集合時間になってもそれらしいガイド&バスは全然現れず。。20分近く待って、同じバウチャーを持ってる他の人たちも不安そうだったので、バウチャーの電話番号に電話。対応は普通(英語)で、すぐバスが現れました。
・出てきたのは黒く焼けたおじさん(やや浮浪者風)。遅れたことに対して一言もなく、無愛想に車内に案内される。
・まあ、気を取り直してバスで数十分。港に到着。いよいよかーと思って待ってたものの、それらしき船が到着する雰囲気無し。ガイドのおっさんは、「ちょっとまっててね」すら言わず、はじっこでタバコ吸ってる。本当に何も話さない。
・また20分ほど待つと、船が2隻到着し、やっと乗れるー!と思ったものの、準備はモタモタ。乗船準備が整ったと思ったら、「アメリカ人、カナダ人
オーストラリア人はこっちの船へどうぞ!」と、先に誘導された。その後で、名前を呼ばれた日本人数組が同じ船に。
そして、その人達が全員乗船し終わったら、「残りの日本人はみんなこっちだー!」(おどけ気味、全部英語)と案内され、別の船に。
船の設備や、混み具合で差があった感じはしなかったけれども、人種差別的な雰囲気をハワイで初めて感じとりました。かなり待たされたのに、お待たせしましたもなく、その対応かよ!とかなり不快に感じました。別に片方の船が全部英語だから、話せる人と話せない人で分けた、とかでもなく、どちらも日本語でガイドしてました。
・その後の対応は別に普通、そこそこフレンドリーな感じではあったし、天国の海自体は楽しかった。
・だけど、対応の悪さを考えると、ここはオススメしません。別のツアー会社があるならそちらの方がいいと思います。
・あと、ハワイの州法で、ライフジャケットが義務付けられてると前日のイルカツアーで言ってて、そのツアーでは皆しっかりつけてたけど、このツアーでは「自信ある人は無くても大丈夫!」と言ってました。安全管理平気なの?
・以上です。ベルトラさんはよく利用させてもらってるけど、斡旋先の業者ははっきりいって本当にダメです。

The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold. I thought I would be able to swim with the sea turtles during the sea turtle watching, but we could only see them from the boat. It seems we can't touch the sea turtles. But they were cute! We also saw manta rays! There were many Japanese people, and it was quite crowded during snorkeling, making it difficult to swim as other people's feet kept bumping into me. The fish were very beautiful. Since it was an early morning plan, we were in a hurry, but I think the timing was just right as staying too long would have been tiring. There were many couples and some families as well. It became a great memory!

I participated in the early morning tour. The weather was nice, and the sandbar was very beautiful, which made it enjoyable. When walking from the boat to the sandbar, I was submerged in water up to my waist. The water was cold, so it took some determination to get in, but once I got used to it, it was fine. There was a little time for snorkeling, and although it was my first time and I didn't quite know what I was doing, I managed. However, the time was short, and it might have been better just to observe.

This was a tour I hurriedly booked at the last minute, knowing that it was something I couldn't do on my own. I wasn't sure whether to choose the morning or afternoon option, but I went with the afternoon tour, which included various activities.
After getting on the pickup bus from the hotel and arriving at the port, I saw two boats returning from the morning tour, both completely full! At that moment, I realized that this tour should be done in the morning. Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day. I comforted myself by thinking that it wouldn't have made a difference if we had gone in the morning. There was only one boat for the afternoon tour.
First, we headed to the sandbar. While it was indeed shallow, the sandy beach shown in the photos was nowhere to be seen. I learned that this beach appears twice a day due to the tides, but it doesn't mean it's visible all the time. The guide mentioned it appears during a full moon, and when I asked when that was, I found out it was today! I regretted not booking the morning tour... At around 10 AM, the tide was low, and the beach was visible. By the time we arrived, it was already past noon, and unfortunately, the water was only knee-deep at its shallowest.
To lift our spirits, the crew invited us to play beach volleyball. While we played for about 40 minutes, they were grilling hamburgers on the boat, which they called a barbecue. However, this turned out to be a mistake. We should have quickly returned to the boat to grab our hamburgers. By the time we got back, there was already a long line. Since the toppings were self-serve, it took a lot of time. The boat was already moving to the next snorkeling spot.
While others were finishing their meals, it took us over 30 minutes to finally get our food. I thought there would be enough for everyone, but to my dismay, there were no toppings left (crying). When I asked the Japanese guide, "Is there really none left?" he simply replied, "No, there isn't." Looking sad, the man grilling the hamburgers gave me another patty! However, just as I finally started eating, we arrived at the next snorkeling spot.
On the way, we passed a spot where sea turtles were supposed to be, but since we were waiting for our hamburgers, we couldn't see anything...
The snorkeling time was relatively ample, and we enjoyed it. However, there were too many people... We were warned not to go anywhere else and just circle around the large coral.
At the end, there was a request for tips, but I didn't feel inclined to give anything to the Japanese guide. Instead, I gave a tip to another staff member who had been very helpful. As we were returning from snorkeling, the sun occasionally peeked through the clouds, and the weather improved, making it enjoyable.
While I would like to go on this sandbar tour again, I think I would choose a morning tour with snacks or join a different company's tour. I was quite fed up with waiting for the so-called lunch of hamburgers. There was no place to sit, so we had to eat standing up. I definitely recommend sitting outside with the captain, as there is space for bags there, but nowhere else. Also, the Japanese guests were gathered by the captain for a talk, and we had to enter and exit the boat with him.
You definitely shouldn't sit at the back of the boat. It looks like a good spot, but many people go to the captain's seat to take photos (only the Japanese were doing this...), and they use the seating area as a stepping stone, which makes everything muddy.
It's a fun tour, but I wonder if cramming everyone in without any seating is really the best approach. If that's the case, a tour without any food might have been more relaxing (the floor gets muddy with food scraps... haha).
これだけは個人で行けないことを知って出発ぎりぎりになって慌てて申し込んだツアー。
朝便と昼便どっちを選べばよいのか?とよくわからないまま、色々ついてる昼便にしました。
ホテルからのピックアップバスに乗って港へ着くと、ちょうど朝便で2隻お船が帰ってきました。
2隻満タン!やはりこのツアーは朝に行くべきなんだとそのとき悟りました。
この日はあいにく曇り。なので朝行っても同じだよね~と自分たちを慰めて出発。昼便のお船は1隻のみです。
まずはサンドバーへ。確かに遠浅ですが写真にあるような砂浜は見えません。
潮の満ち引きによって現れるといわれるこの砂浜は1日に2回あるそうなのですが、いつでも見れるというわけではないようです。
満月のとき、とガイドさんに言われ、では満月っていつなんですか~?と聞くとなんと今日!え~朝便に申し込めばよかったと後悔・・・
このときは朝10時がちょうど引き潮で砂浜が見えていたのだそうです。
私たちが行ったときは既に正午過ぎ・・残念ながらもっとも浅くてひざ下でした。
気分を盛り上げようと船員さんたちがビーチバレーに誘ってくれます。ここで40分くらい遊んでる間に船ではバーベキューと称するハンバーガーを焼いてくれます。
しかしこれが曲者。遊んでないでさっさと船にあがってハンバーガーを受け取るべきでした。
号令がかかってから船に戻ると既に長蛇の列。中に挟む具はセルフで取るのでと~~っても時間がかかるのです。すでに船は次のシュノーケルスポットに向けて移動中。
どんどん人が食べ終わっているのにありつけるまでに30分以上かかりました。
全員分は用意されてるよね、とのんびり構えていたら、なんと具がありませんでした(泣)
日本人ガイドさんに「もうないんですか?」と聞くと、「はい、ありません」とだけ。
悲しい顔をしているとハンバーガーの肉を焼いているおじさんがもう一切れくれました~♪
しかし、ようやく食べ始めたら船は次のシュノーケルスポットに到着。
この間に、ウミガメのいるスポットを通っていきます。でもハンバーガー待ちで並んでいるので全然見えず・・・・
シュノーケルはわりとたっぷり時間があって堪能できました。でも人が多すぎて・・・大きなサンゴの周りを1周するだけで他のところには行かないよう注意されます。
最後にちゃっかりチップの要求はありましたが、とてもこの日本人ガイドさんに渡す気にはなれませんでした。なので他のよくしてくれたスタッフの方にお渡ししました♪
シュノーケルの時間から帰りがけになると時折陽が差して天気が良くなり楽しめました。
もう一度このサンドバーのツアーに行きたいとは思いますが、やはり午前のスナックつきのツアーにするか、他社さんのツアーに参加すると思います。
それくらい、昼食と称するハンバーガー待ちにはうんざりでした。
座る場所もなく立ち食いなので、席は絶対に船頭の屋外をお勧めします。そこなら荷物を入れる場所がありますが、それ以外はありません。そして日本人は船頭に集められて話をされますし船から海への出入りも船頭となります。
間違っても座ってはいけないのは船尾。一見良さそうですがいろんな人が船長席に行って写真を取るので(そんなことをしているのは日本人だけでしたが・・・)座る場所を踏み台にして登るので荷物も座るところもドロドロにされちゃいます。
楽しいツアーではありますが、座る場所もないくらい詰め込むのはどうかな~と思いました。だとしたら何も食べ物がないツアーの方が気が楽だったかも(足元は食べかすなどでドロドロになるんです・・・笑)

It was an afternoon in May, but it was really cold. It was so cold that my lips turned purple. I could only do a little snorkeling because I couldn't stand the cold. A cover-up is a must.
The sea was certainly beautiful, but it wasn't breathtaking. Maybe I had too high expectations...
Lunch included a hamburger, but it was difficult to eat on the boat because of the strong wind... Snacks flew away. I was glad there wasn't a full lunch.
I did see sea turtles and manta rays, which was somewhat enjoyable, but I feel it wasn't worth the price.
5月の午後でしたが、とにかく寒い。唇が紫になるほど寒いです。寒さに耐えられずシュノーケリングは少ししかできませんでした。羽織るもの必須です。
確かに海は綺麗ですが、感激するほどではありませんでした。期待しすぎたのかなぁ…。
ハンバーガーのランチ付きでしたが、船の上は風が強くて食べにくいのなんの…スナックとか吹っ飛びました。ランチはなくてよかったと思います。
ウミガメもマンタも見れてそれなりに楽しかったのですが、値段の価値はない気がします。

It was drizzling and cold. The sandbar had seawater up to my ankles due to the tides, which was different from what I had imagined. However, the staff were lively and seemed to be having fun playing beach volleyball. The hamburgers grilled by the captain were delicious. The live singing with the guitar was wonderful as well. If only the weather had been better, it would have been perfect. But I was able to see a waterfall that is rarely seen.
小雨が降っていて寒かった
サンドバーも潮の関係で足首まで海水があってイメージとは違ったが
スタッフが盛り上げてくれて楽しそうにビーチバレーをしていた
船長が焼いてくれたハンバガーは美味しかった
ギターでの生歌もステキでした
天気さえ良ければ最高だったと。
でも、めったに見れない滝を見ることが出来ました

I'm satisfied with the landing at Sandbar, but the snorkeling involves swimming in a line over a short distance, which is quite awkward. It felt like being packed in like sardines. However, I think it's fine for those who are new to snorkeling.
サンドバー上陸までは満足ですが、シュノーケルは短い距離を行列で泳ぐのでかなり微妙です。
いも洗い状態でした。 ただ、シュノーケル始めての人でも大丈夫だと思います。

The sandbar was a very mysterious sight and incredibly beautiful! On the way to the sandbar, I also got to see turtles and manta rays♪ I think it's best to check the low tide times on the reservation screen when deciding on the date to join this tour. After all, the sandbar at low tide is the best!
サンドバーはとても不思議な光景でとても綺麗でした!サンドバーに行く途中で亀とマンタにも会えました♪このツアーに参加する時には、予約する際の画面の中にもある干潮の時間を調べてから参加する日にちを決めた方が良いと思います。やっぱり干潮の時のサンドバーが最高です!

In late May, I participated in a girls' trip. The staff were cheerful, and I was able to enjoy playing beach volleyball with the other participants I met for the first time. The sandbar was very beautiful and soothing, but the sea breeze was cold!! I think it depends on the season, but it was tough to stay in wet clothes, so I think it would be good to have a place to change (there isn't a designated changing area, so I quickly changed in the restroom…).
5月下旬、女子旅で参加しました。
スタッフの皆さんも陽気で初対面の参加者さんたちともビーチバレーで楽しむことができました。
サンドバーはとてもキレイで癒されましたが、
海風が寒い!!
時期によると思うけど濡れたままの服装でいるのツラいので着替えがあるとよいと思います(着替えの場所はありませんのでお手洗いでささっと着替えさせていただきました…)。

【Sandbar】
The weather was a bit cloudy and initially cold, but since it was my first time at the ocean after arriving in Hawaii, the sea was beautiful, and I was impressed by the pure white coral.
I did some light snorkeling.
There was plenty of time to take photos.
Those who were energetic played volleyball together.
There was a group that happened to come on a private boat, and their dog was so cute, making for a very happy time.
【BBQ】
It wasn't a BBQ, but the staff grilled hamburgers on the spot, and I had a hamburger. Eating a hamburger over the beautiful sea was exceptional.
You can enjoy plenty of drinks, snacks, and fruits, so I was very satisfied.
【Turtle Watching】
This was the best part.
I saw turtles while snorkeling, but I was allowed to enter the water without a life jacket.
You can see the turtles while floating, but by diving, I was able to get really close!
It was quite moving.
I took several shots with a waterproof camera.
For those going, definitely prepare an underwater camera!!
【サンドバー】
天気は少し雲があり、初めは寒かったですが、ハワイに着いて初の海というのもあり、海はきれいで、真っ白なサンゴには感動しました。
シュノーケリングを軽くしました。
写真を撮る時間も十分にありました。
元気の良い方はみんなでバレーボールをしていました。
たまたまプライベートボートで来ていた団体の犬が可愛すぎてとても幸せな時間でした。
【BBQ】
BBQではなかったですが、スタッフがハンバーグをその場で焼いてくれて、ハンバーガーを食べました。景色の良い海の上で食べるハンバーガーは格別ですよ。
ドリンクも、お菓子も、フルーツもたくさん食べれますのでとても満足できます。
【ウミガメウォッチ】
これが一番良かったです。
シュノーケリングでカメを見るのですが、私はライフジャケットを着ずに海に入らせてもらいました。
浮いた状態でもウミガメを見ることができますが、もぐることで急接近することができました!
かなりの感動です。
水中カメラで何枚もツーショットを撮りました。
行かれる方は、是非水中カメラを用意!!

The Angel Sea was deeper than I expected, with the water level reaching from my waist to just below my chest, but it was such a beautiful sea that I could see the seabed clearly. I saw many sea turtles, and snorkeling was also a lot of fun. It was a fulfilling tour, and I'm glad I participated.
天使の海は思ったより深く、腰の上~胸下くらいまでの水位でしたが、海底が透き通ってみえるほどきれいな海でした。ウミガメもたくさん見られたし、シュノーケルも楽しかったです。充実したツアーで、参加して良かったと思います。

I went on a company trip.
If you're going to Hawaii, I definitely recommend it.
There were Japanese staff members, so I had a great time.
I was able to watch turtles, and I plan to visit again the next time I go to Hawaii.
社員旅行で行きました。
ハワイに行くなら、絶対おすすめです。
日本人のスタッフの方がいらっしゃったので、楽しい時間を過ごせました。
カメもウオッチできましたし、また、ハワイに行く際は、伺おうと思います。
