It is often featured in guidebooks, and I had always wanted to visit it when I went to Hawaii. There were some waves, but I was able to see the clear ocean. There were also several sea turtles popping their heads out of the water, which was adorable. Walking in the ocean felt really nice. There was nothing but the sea around, and the scenery was wonderful. The food was delicious, and I felt safe snorkeling for the first time with the guides watching over us. I'm really glad I participated. It was so much fun!
ガイドブックによく掲載されていて、ハワイに行ったら絶対行きたいと思っていました。
少し波がありましたが、透き通った海を見ることができました。ウミガメも何匹も海から顔を出していたのでかわいかったです。
海の中を歩く感じですごく気持ちよかったです。周りには海しかなく、景色もすばらしかったです☆
料理もおいしかったし、初めてのシュノーケリングはガイドさんたちにしっかり見守られながらだったので安心してできました。
参加して本当によかったです。すごく楽しかったです♪

Initially, I was scheduled to board on the second day of my stay, but unfortunately, the second and third days were booked for a private group, so I boarded two days before my return. I had checked the weather forecast for the latter half of my stay and found that the weather was not looking good, so it wasn't a cloudless sunset as predicted, but with some clouds, I was able to enjoy the changing colors of the clouds.
Most of the passengers were foreigners (I was also a foreigner in Hawaii!), primarily Americans, with only one other Japanese couple on board. Although Japanese was not spoken, I didn't feel inconvenienced during the approximately one-and-a-half-hour cruise while listening to Hawaiian music.
Since it was a catamaran, I expected less rocking, but unfortunately, the wind was strong and the waves were high, so it rocked quite a bit. My wife is not fond of boats, but she took motion sickness medication, so she was fine. The kids were thrilled.
I have also been on the Hilton's submarine, so there wasn't anything new for me to see from the boat looking at Waikiki, but those who are boarding for the first time will likely enjoy it.
Two drink tickets were distributed for alcohol, allowing for beer or champagne. Junk food and teriyaki chicken were served, but since this is a cocktail cruise, don't expect much in terms of food. If you get a good sunset, it will be fantastic!
当初は、滞在2日目に乗船予定でしたが、あいにく団体貸切に2日目、3日目がとられてしまい帰国2日前に乗船しました。天気予報で滞在後半、天気が芳しくないことを調べていたので、予報通り雲の無いサンセットではありませんでしたが、そこそこ雲があると雲の色の変化も楽しめます。
ほとんどが外人(私もHAWAIIでは外人!!)アメリカ人で日本人はもう1カップルのみでした。
日本語は通じませんが、Hawaiiannを聞きながら約1時間半のクルーズには不便を感じませんでした。
双胴船なので揺れが少ないはずでしたが、あいにく風が強く波も高かったので、結構揺れました。妻は船が苦手でしたが酔い止めb薬を飲んでいたので大丈夫でした。
子供は大喜びでした。
小生は、ヒルトンのサブマリンも乗船しているので、船から見るWAIKIKIに目新しさはありませんでしたが、初めて乗られる方はには喜ばれるでしょう。
アルコールは2杯までただのチケットが配られ、ビールやシャンパンが飲めます。ジャンクフードとチキンの照り焼き風が出ましたが、カクテルクルーズなので料理は期待しないでください。
良いサンセットにあたるとサイコーでしょう!!

This was my eighth trip to Hawaii, but it was my first experience at the sandbar. The knee-deep water in the middle of the ocean was very mysterious, and the contrast between the sand and the sea was beautiful. When we went, it was not the season for the sand to be exposed, but I would like to visit again during low tide. I thought the staff was friendly and their service was good, but I wish they would refrain from smoking at the sandbar. Even though there are no legal restrictions, I wonder why anyone would smoke in such a beautiful natural place. There were even comments encouraging smoking among participants, and I saw people walking around the sandbar with cigarettes in their mouths. It was uncomfortable on the water.
ハワイは8回目でしたがサンドバーは初体験でした。
海の真ん中で膝下の水位はとても不思議で砂と海のコントラストがとてもきれいでした。
私たちが行ったときは砂浜は出ない時期でしたが今度は干潮の時に行ってみたいです。
スタッフの方はフレンドリーで対応等は良かったと思いますが
サンドバーでわざわざタバコを吸うのはやめてほしいです。
法律での規制がないとはいえ、なぜあのような自然の綺麗な場所で喫煙するのか?です・・・参加者にも喫煙をあおる発言をしていて実際咥え煙草でサンドバーを歩いてる人もいました。
海の上で不快でした。

My husband, 7 month old son, and I had a great experience with this activity during snorkeling and snuba. We got lucky, and one of the guest/crew members watched our son (who mostly slept) so we had the opportunity to both go together for the snorkeling and snuba. The catamaran we took was a great ship. The crew was very accommodating, nice, funny, and took care of everyone, including a woman who lost her camera in the water, and when my hubby got a little overwhelmed in the beginning during snuba. The food was okay, but definitely helped after a good amount of time time in the water. I would defintely do it again. The great crew actually made a huge difference too!

Due to my schedule, I couldn't participate for long and joined the morning session. I only caught a glimpse of the sea turtles from the boat, but I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! When getting off the boat, the water was up to my stomach, and in the shallow areas, it was up to my knees. I'm so glad I bought a waterproof camera!
The weather was a bit gloomy during the cruise, with some light rain, but we were able to see a rainbow, and by the time we arrived, it was sunny! It must be even more sparkling and beautiful on a clear day.
Since I was at the back during snorkeling, the visibility was poor, but I really wanted to go to the sandbar, so I was happy about that. The early finish allowed me to spend the afternoon meaningfully. The warm tea and sandwiches served on the way back were delicious!
I hope I can take my time a bit more next time.
スケジュールの関係であまりゆっくりのには参加できず、午前の部に参加しました。
海亀は船上からちらっと見る程度でしたがサンドバーの綺麗さに感動☆ボートから下りるときはおなかくらい、浅いところでもひざ上まで浸かりました。張り切って防水のカメラを買ってよかった~♪
天気も、クルーズ中はどんよりとしてパラパラ振ったりしましたが虹も見れたし到着するころには晴れたし☆快晴だともっときらきらして綺麗なんでしょうね。
シュノーケルは後ろの方だったので濁ってあまり見れませんでしたが、サンドバーは絶対行きたいとこだったのでよかったです。早めに終わるので午後からも有意義に過ごせました。

We went on a morning tour as a couple. We took three large buses to the port. I think almost everyone was Japanese.
Upon arriving at the port, we split into three groups and took a boat to our destination. I believe we were on the boat for about 20 to 30 minutes. Along the way, we had a brief sea turtle watching experience, but we could only catch a glimpse.
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we started with photo sessions. In deeper areas, the water was about waist-deep, while in shallower areas, it was around knee-deep. We asked a Japanese female guide named Yukiko to take various photos for us. It seemed like other participants were taking photos among themselves. However, if you ask the guide, she will give you pose instructions and take several shots, so I think it's better to ask her! Just be aware that there might be a wait, so it's best to stay close to the guide once you get into the water! (laughs)
After that, we went snorkeling. Life jackets were available for those who wanted them, but I didn't wear one. We went surprisingly deep, and it felt like it was about 5 to 10 meters deep. We followed the guide while making a rough line, stopping occasionally. We swam in areas where our feet couldn't touch the bottom. They also provided long floatation devices, but if you can't swim well, it's better to wear a life jacket! My husband regretted not wearing one since he isn't a strong swimmer. The floatation device is meant for two people, but in reality, it sinks when two people use it (laughs).
Swimming near the guide at the front allows for a surprisingly long snorkeling experience, which can be tiring, but we got to see coral up close and even spotted some fish, making it a very valuable experience. If you're at the back of the line, it might be murky due to the people ahead swimming, so I recommend being towards the front. My husband and I led the way and thoroughly enjoyed it♪
Afterward, warm tea and sandwiches were distributed, which was very helpful since we were a bit hungry♪
午前のツアーに夫婦で行ってきました。
大型バス3台で港へ。
ほぼ全員日本人だったように思います。
港に着いて3つグループに別れて船で目的の場所まで行きました。
時間は20~30分くらい乗っていたように思います。
途中に海ガメウォッチングだったのですが、ほんとーにチラッと見える程度でした。
サンドバーに着いて、まずは写真撮影。
深いところでは腰くらい、浅いところは膝くらいでした。
ガイドさんで日本人女性のユキコさんにお願いして、色々撮って頂きました。
他の方は、参加者同士で撮り合っていたようです。
ですが、ガイドさんに頼むとポーズの指示をしてくれ、
数枚撮ってくれ、とても上手なので頼んだ方がいいと思います!
ただ順番待ちが発生するので、なるべく海入ったらガイドさんの近くにいた方がいいですよ!!(笑)
そのあとはシュノーケリング。
救命胴衣は希望の方だけ着る流れで、私は着なかったです。
案外深いところまで行くのですが、たぶん5m~10mくらいあったように感じます。
途中止まったりしながら、ざっくりとした列を作りながらガイドさんについていく感じです。
終始足が着かないところを泳ぎます。
水に浮く細長いやつも貸してくれるのですが、泳げない方は救命胴衣を着た方がいいです!
夫がそんなに泳げないのに着なくて後悔してました。
細長いやつは2人で1つ、実際は2人で使うと沈みます(笑)
ガイドさん近く、先頭で泳ぐと案外長くシュノーケリングするので疲れますが、
サンゴを近くで見れ、魚も少し見れて、とても貴重な体験が出来ました。
列の後方にいると先に行った人が泳いだせいか濁って見にくいので、先頭を行くくらいがお勧めです。
私たち夫婦は先頭切って泳いで、堪能しました♪
終わった後は温かいお茶とサンドイッチが配られ、小腹が空いていたのでとても助かりました♪

At knee-deep water level, even children could walk easily. However, I thought the beach was a continuous stretch of pure white sand, so I walked barefoot, but there were rocks and stones in some places, making it painful and difficult to walk. Most participants walked barefoot, but I think it's better to wear marine shoes or something similar.
It got cold, and my daughter started to fuss. When we took photos one group at a time, it was tough because she would fuss if we didn't take the picture. But it was beautiful and wonderful.
Sea turtles were swimming gracefully as well. I definitely want to go again!
膝下の海面水位で、子供も難なく歩けました。ただ、真っ白な砂浜が続いていると思い、裸足で歩きましたが、所々に岩や石氏があるので、痛くて歩くのが大変なところもありました。
参加者のほとんどが裸足で歩いていましたが、マリンシューズなど履いたほうが良いと思います。
寒いと途中から、娘が愚図り始め、1組づつ写真を撮った際、撮らないと愚図って大変でした。でも、綺麗で素でした。
海亀さんも優雅に泳いでいました。また、ぜひ行きたいです!

The view from the sandbar was very beautiful. I was told to practice snorkeling there, but not many people were doing it. We had a lot of fun playing beach volleyball with the participants. Although not everyone joined, about 15 people were playing. The lunch afterward was delicious, with freshly grilled meat. I wasn't a fan of the sweet bean stew.
I went snorkeling a little further from the sandbar, but there weren't many fish, so I got out quickly. It seemed like we had quite a bit of time (around an hour), and someone said, "Are we getting out already? There's still 30 minutes left." Then, I was splashed with water from a bucket over my head, which seemed to be a substitute for a shower.
I thought the Japanese staff member could have used a bit more polite language, as they were speaking casually to everyone.
サンドバーでの景色はとてもきれいでした。
そこでシュノーケルの練習をするといわれましたが、
あまりみなさんやってなかったです。

結構長い時間(1時間ぐらい~)時間があったらしく「もうあがるの~あと30分もあるのに。」と言われました。

Initially, I had signed up for a morning tour, but the day before, I received a call from the tour company saying there was a problem with the boat for the morning tour and that it was unlikely to happen, so they asked me to switch to the afternoon tour.
I really wanted to visit the sandbar, so I decided to join the afternoon tour. When I arrived at the meeting point, the boat from the morning tour was just returning.
Wasn't the morning tour supposed to be canceled?
I'm not sure if there was a communication issue between the operating company and the tour company, but if it was overbooked, I would have appreciated an explanation.
The sandbar itself was very beautiful and spacious, so it was disappointing.
最初は午前中のツアーに申し込んでいたのですが、前日にツアー会社から電話がかかってきて、午前のツアーの船にトラブルがあって午前のツアーが出来そうにないので、昼間のツアーに変更して欲しい、と言われました。
サンドバーには是非行ってみたかったので、昼のツアーに参加することにして時間に集合場所に行ってみると、午前のツアーの船が戻ってくるところでした。
午前のツアー、できないんじゃなかったの??

I wanted to visit the heavenly sea since it was mentioned in the guidebook, so I participated. We were a senior group, but everyone around us was young. I felt a bit out of place, but the staff members spoke to us, which made me feel more at ease. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law participated in scuba diving. The staff mentioned that there have been a lot of accidents recently, so since I can't move forward while floating, I refrained and played around the boat. After receiving an explanation, the participants were led by the staff in a line towards the coral reef. Although the sandbar didn't appear, it felt nice to float on the borrowed floatation device in the shallow water. A friendly sea turtle even swam by gently. It's a joy that you can't experience on the sandy beach.
天国の海はガイドブックにも載っていたので一度行ってみたいと参加。私たちはシニアグループでしたが、回りは若い方ばかり。ちょっと気おくれしましたが、スタッフの方が声をかけてくれたので気が楽になりました。スキューバは義兄と義姉が参加。最近一番事故が多いとスタッフさんに言われたので、浮いても前に進めない私は遠慮して船の周りで遊んでました。参加者は説明を受けたあと、スタッフさんに先導されて1列にサンゴ礁の方に進んで行ってました。サンドバーは現れませんでしたが、足がつくところで貸してくださった浮ボートでふわふわと浮いていると気持ちがいいです。近くによくなついたウメがめもふんわり通ってくれたりして。砂浜では味わえない楽しさですね。

The weather was favorable, and the experience was very fulfilling. The tide was about 50 centimeters, just as forecasted. When the sun shines, the photos turn out really beautiful. It will make for great stories to share later. Please be careful not to drop your camera while walking along the beach.
I heard that the pickup bus had an accident before arriving at the meeting point, causing a delay of about an hour. I was worried that the time at the sandbar would be shortened, but fortunately, there was no traffic, so everything was well adjusted. Despite the emergency, the tour guide sincerely attended to the participants.
On the way back, you will be riding the bus in your wet swimsuit. It might feel a bit uncomfortable, but I think it's best to approach the tour with that fact already in mind. The morning tour starts early, but I found it very good because it allows you to make effective use of the afternoon. After returning, I took a shower and went to Eggs 'n Things. It was just before closing time, and it was nice that it wasn't crowded.
お天気にも恵まれ、とても充実した内容でした。篠の満ち引きは50センチ程度、予報通りでした。
日が差した時に写真を撮ると、本当にきれいに取れます。土産話ネタになりますよ。なお、カメラを持って海を歩くことになります。落とさないように気を付けてくださいね。
迎えのバスが集合場所に来る前に事故にあったとのことで、1時間程度遅れての出発。「サンドバー現地での滞在時間が短くなるのでは?」と心配しておりましたが、渋滞がなかったためうまく調整されました。非常事態にもかかわらず、ツアーガイドさんが参加者への対応を真摯にしてくださいました。
帰りのバスでは水にぬれた水着のままバスに乗ります。ちょっと抵抗がありますが、そこはあらかじめおり込み済みの事実としてツアーに臨むとよいのではないかと思います。
午前のツアーは朝が早いけど、午後を有効に使えるのでとても良いと思いました。帰ってから、シャワーを浴びて、エッグスンシングスへ。時間的にも閉店間際、空いていて良かったです。

However, the staff's talks and performances were so unique that the cold didn't bother us at all. The freshly grilled hamburgers were also fantastic. I'm glad I participated.

I checked the low tide times in advance and went there. As expected, the scenery was absolutely wonderful. The first spot I stepped into had water up to my knees, but the shallowest area was only about ankle-deep. At first, we took our time walking and took group photos. After that, only those who wanted to went snorkeling. It was my first time snorkeling, but it was easy to do. I think anyone who can swim will be fine. I was truly amazed to encounter beautiful fish and even sea turtles. We also enjoyed some light snacks at the end, making it a very satisfying tour. If you're going to Hawaii, this is definitely a place you should visit at least once!
事前に干潮時間を調べて行きました。期待通り、とても素晴らしい景色で、最初足を着けたところは膝ぐらい水位があったものの、一番浅いところは足首くらいの水位でした。最初は、ゆっくり歩きながら皆で記念撮影。その後は希望者だけで、シュノーケリング。初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、簡単に出来ました。泳げる方なら大丈夫だと思います。綺麗なお魚と海亀にまで遭遇できて本当に神秘的でした。最後に軽食もいただけて、大満足のツアーでした。ハワイに行くなら一度は是非訪れてもらいたい場所です!

I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medication beforehand, but the boat was large and the waves were calm, so I might not have needed it. I think it's a good idea to apply sunscreen thoroughly.

I participated in a tour with lunch on September 26 (local time). The guide on the shuttle bus spoke English, and we had a fun (though a bit noisy) time until we arrived at the port. From the port to the sandbar, our guide "Miho" kept us entertained with her enjoyable microphone performance until we returned. "Yuki" took some great photos of us (like making heart shapes with our hands and holding hands, as well as shots from behind). I heard there are days when you can't see sea turtles, but that day we were able to see 6 or 7, which was amazing. We enjoyed a paradise-like experience with lunch (freshly grilled hamburgers) and beer at the sandbar. After a break, we moved to the snorkeling spot, and snorkeling among the coral reefs was truly breathtaking. It was my first time going to Hawaii with my wife after 21 years of marriage, and it was the best experience. We went on this trip to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and the arrival of our first grandchild (by the way, I'm still only 44). I want to go back many more times. Next time, I want to bring my son, daughter, and all my grandchildren. Thank you for the precious experience and memories.

The tour we participated in during our family's trip to Hawaii in September was the "All Hawaii Cruise: Angel's Sea." The heavenly sea, famous in Hawaii, was a place I had always wanted to visit! I was particularly looking forward to it during this trip.
However, on the day of the tour, I was expecting a beautiful view at the sandbar where the sand completely emerges in the middle of the ocean, but unfortunately, the weather was not favorable that day. As a result, we could only get off the boat when the water receded to knee height, and it was very cold due to the bad weather, but there was nothing we could do about it!
At the snorkeling point, we were able to swim with many fish. Since there are many deep areas where you can't touch the bottom, it's better for those who are not confident in swimming to borrow a life jacket.
During the cruising, we saw sea turtles, and the hamburgers we had on the boat were delicious, as they grilled the meat over charcoal.
Be careful about the weather when going to the heavenly sea!
私たち家族が9月に行ったハワイで参加したツアーが、

そのため膝あたりまでしか水が引かない時に降りたのと、天気も悪くとても寒かったですが、それはもうしょうがないと思うしかありません!
シュノーケリングのポイントではたくさんの魚たちと泳ぐことが出来ました。
海の中は足がつかない深い地点が多いので、泳ぎが不安な方は救命道具を貸してもらったほうが良いです。

I went on a sandbar tour. This tour was filled with Japanese people. There were about 30 participants on the day I joined. The staff seemed quite experienced.
I heard that it’s also used for gravure photo shoots, and the color of the sea is beautiful, an emerald hue. However, since we all walked together on the sandbar, it felt like there wasn’t much of a private atmosphere. That was a bit disappointing.
Overall, the sea is very beautiful, so it's nice, but I think it may not be suitable for those who want a sense of privacy. (For reference)

グラビア撮影でも使われているとのことで、海の色もエメラルド色できれいです。ただ、サンドバーを歩くのですが、皆でぞろぞろ歩いていくのでプライベート感はあまりないような気がしました。それが、少し残念。
総合的には、海もとても綺麗なのでいいですがプライベート感が欲しい方にはあまり向いていないかなと思いました。(参考までに)

The sea was really beautiful, but the snorkeling was a bit lacking... I wish I could have seen some prettier tropical fish. I was a little disappointed given my expectations, but I was excited to see a sea turtle. The light snacks were quite delicious and filling. I think the staff was the most accommodating. In particular, Ryo, who is Japanese, was very kind and great. I would like to participate again.
海はすごくきれいでしたがシュノーケリングはいまいちかな・・・もう少しきれいな熱帯魚とかみれたら良かったかな・・・。期待してた分少しがっかりでしたがウミガメが見れてテンションあがりました。
軽食はかなりおいしくて食べごたえのあるものでした。
スタッフは一番対応が良かったように思います。
とくに日本人のりょうさんはすごく優しくて良かったです。
また参加したいです。

I participated in the Angel's Sea Sandbar Cruise. The sea was incredibly beautiful! Due to the tides, it wasn't the perfect sandy beach you often see in photos, but the water was about knee-deep, and sitting in it felt like enjoying a half-body bath. It felt luxurious to be able to sit in the sea and look out at the ocean in 360 degrees, even though we were offshore.
Above all, the warm and delicious hamburger after playing in the sea was exceptional! Also, after snorkeling, they provided hot drinks to warm us up, and the sweet hot chocolate was the best. The only downside was that the time spent seeing the sea turtles was shorter than I expected.
天使の海サンドバークルーズに参加しました。
海はとってもキレイでした!潮の関係で、よく写真にあるような完全な砂浜にはなっていなかったけど、深さはひざ下くらいで、すわってもお風呂で半身浴してるみたいに気持ちよかったです。沖にいるのに海の中で座って360度まわりの海を見渡せるなんて贅沢な感じがしました。
何よりも、海ではしゃいだ後の温かいおいしいハンバーガーは格別でした☆☆ また、シュノーケルの後には冷えた体を暖めてくれるホットドリンクも用意してくれて、甘いホットチョコレートは最高でした。
ウミガメを見る時間が思ったより短かったのだけが残念でした。

I was really looking forward to Heaven's Sea.
Perhaps because there were so many participants, we were divided into several groups on boats to get to Heaven's Sea, but for some reason, we had to wait a really long time. It seemed like there were too few boats available, and the wait to get on a returning boat was just too long, which took away the excitement.
Moreover, the wind was really strong, and since we had to stand the whole time, it was cold.
As for Heaven's Sea itself, it was fairly beautiful, but I didn't feel that much excitement about it. The water wasn't particularly clear, and there weren't a lot of fish.
The only good thing was that there were sea turtles near the pier, and we got to see them up close!
I think it would be better to check the tide schedule before participating.
すごく楽しみにしてた天国の海。
参加人数が多かったのか、ボートで何組にか分かれて、天国の海まで行くのですが、なぜだかとーっても待たされた。
確保してるボートが少ないのか、岸に帰ってくるボートに乗れるまでの時間が長すぎて、わくわく度がなくなってしまった。
しかも風がすごく吹いていて立ちっぱなしだから、寒いし。
肝心の天国の海は、まあまあ綺麗でした。そこまでの感動はなかったなあ。
海が澄んでいるわけでもないし、お魚がいっぱいいるわけでもないし。
唯一良かったのは、桟橋の付近にウミガメが棲みついていて、間近で見れたこと!
潮の満ち引きをチェックして参加するのが、良いと思われます。

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

The sandbar is affected by the tides, so when I actually went there, the water reached up to my thighs, and I couldn't enjoy the beautiful sandy beach like in the photos. However, looking around, I could see the distant Kualoa Ranch and the endless blue ocean. It felt nice to be surrounded by nature, which was a refreshing change from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. The malasada and the lunch I had on the boat were also delicious.
サンドバーは潮の満ち引きの関係があるので実際に行った時は
太ももまで海につかる感じだったので写真のようなきれいな
砂浜にはあえませんでしたが、周りを見渡すと遠くにはクアロア牧場、見渡す限り一面ブルーの海。自然に囲まれているなぁ。とワイキキの賑やかさとは一味違い良かったです。マラサダも
船で食べたランチも美味しかったです。

It started to rain as soon as we got on the bus from the hotel, and I was feeling a bit defeated because I really wanted to see the beautiful ocean sandbar... However, by the time we boarded the boat, a little blue sky started to appear, and after about 10 minutes, we arrived at the sandbar. As we stepped off, the sun came out, revealing the white sandbar! The beautiful scenery I had seen in books was right in front of me. Interestingly, this place was not known in Japan until about two years ago, and it has been used for filming movies and music videos. Although it felt a bit chilly due to the wind, I was glad to see the sea turtles swimming and that the weather cleared up.
ホテル迎えからバスに乗ったくらいから雨が降りだし、どうしても綺麗な海のサンドバーを見たかったのでツイテナイ・・・と諦めモードでした。。。船に乗る頃には少し青空が見えてきて、10分ほどしてサンドバーに着いて下り立つと太陽が射し白いサンドバーが表れてきました!本で見たあの綺麗な景色が目の前にそのまんまです。何とこの場所は2年くらい前まで日本では知られていなかったそうで、映画やPVの撮影にも使われたそうです。。風があったので肌寒く感じましたが、ウミガメの泳ぎも見れ晴れてくれたので良かったです。
