I had been wanting to go for a long time, but this time I finally decided to participate. The reason I hadn't joined before was probably due to cost... I had been settling for cheaper Kailua Beach tours instead. However, after going this time, I was convinced that the price was worth it. The ocean was beautiful, and I saw several sea turtles; it truly was the best location. Our guide, Yukiko, was a fun and wonderful person, and I had an enjoyable half-day. Since I didn't go snorkeling, the half-day course was sufficient for me, but I recommend the lunch-inclusive course for those who want to fully enjoy snorkeling.
以前から行きたいとは思っていましたが今回思い切って参加しました。なぜ今まで参加しなかったかと言うと費用の問題かな・・・もっとお安いカイルアビーチツアーなどでお茶を濁していたと言うことです。然し今回行って見てこのお値段でも納得がいきました。海も綺麗だし海がめも何匹も見れたしやはり最高のロケーションでした。ガイドのゆきこさんも楽しい素敵な方でしたし楽しい半日を過ごせました。一緒に参加した私もシュノーケリングをしなかったため半日コースで十分でしたがシュノーケリングを存分に楽しみたい方はランチ付きのコースをお勧めします。

We participated with our family of four, including a 1.5-year-old child. The water was shallow, only up to our ankles, but the deep blue sea and white sandy beach created a striking contrast, allowing us to fully experience the wonders of nature. While the adults were captivated by the beautiful scenery, the children seemed to really enjoy snorkeling.
小1・5の子どもと家族4人で参加しました。
砂浜にはならず1番浅くてくるぶしほどでしたが、濃いブルーと白砂の海、色の違いがクッキリで、自然の不思議を十分に体感できました。
大人は美しい景色に見とれていましたが、子どもたちはシュノーケリングがとっても楽しかったようです。

I participated in the afternoon on the day of arrival on a JAL flight that landed in the morning. We went from in front of the Hilton Hotel to near Diamond Head and came back, enjoying the view of the ocean and the pleasant sea breeze, which made me really feel like I was in Hawaii. My excitement was high from the very first day.
I've heard that surprisingly many people come to Hawaii and don't even touch the ocean because they're busy shopping. That's why I recommend experiencing it during your free time on the first day.

At the end of August, my parents, my husband and I, and our two children (a fourth grader and a kindergartner) were taken care of. My kindergartner daughter is not good with water and cannot swim at all, but a kind Japanese staff member encouraged her gently, and she seemed to get motivated. She put on a mask and peeked into the sea for just a moment. She said the coral reef looked creepy and quickly came back up, but after a break, she wanted to go back in again. While I was in the water, the staff helped tie her hair and put on her mask, and she made another attempt.
They were very considerate of the children, and I think we were able to relax.
For lunch, we went to the neighboring boat to get our food, and they also offered us more fruit, which the kids happily ate. We even encountered a sea turtle, and we enjoyed a delicious hamburger lunch.
We had a very enjoyable time. Thank you very much.
8月末に、両親、私達夫婦、小4、年長の6人でお世話になりました。
年長の娘は水が苦手で、まったく泳げないのですが、日本人スタッフのお姉さんが優しく声を掛けてくださり、その気になったようで、マスクをつけて一瞬だけ海をのぞいてみました。珊瑚礁が気持ち悪いなどと言って、すぐにあがりましたが、それでも休憩後また入りたいというので、海に入っている私に代わり、髪を結わいてくださりマスク装着なども手伝って頂き、再挑戦しました。
子供にとても気を使って頂き、リラックスできたと思います。
ランチは隣の船に取りに行くのですが、果物のおかわりなども声を掛けて頂き、子供達は喜んで食べていました。ウミガメにも出会えましたし、ハンバーガーのランチも美味しく頂きました。
とても楽しい時間を過ごせました。
ありがとうございました。

It has already been a year, but when we went, the water depth was up to our knees even in the shallow areas. Still, I was very impressed by the beauty of the sea. We were also able to see many sea turtles, and while snorkeling, a sea turtle bumped into me! It was a friendly sea turtle, and it was such a precious experience.

I participated in the morning plan on Saturday the 25th. I chose this plan because I wanted to go shopping in the afternoon, and I enjoyed it more than enough! On this day, I encountered a manta ray, and there were very few people, so looking at the photos, it feels like we had the sandbar all to ourselves! Above all, the warmth and kindness of the staff helped create the best memories. My best friend and I participated together, and we both get seasick easily, but thanks to Yukiko from the staff, we had no worries about seasickness at all, and it turned out to be the best day!
I will definitely participate again when I go to Hawaii!!!

I participated in the first tour of the morning, wondering what kind of place it would be as I boarded the boat and saw the sandy beach with knee-deep seawater. The energetic young lady's explanations were great, and I thought, "Are they contracted with the tour? Are they promoting it?" because so many sea turtles appeared, causing cheers all around! We walked and swam... A cool, dark-skinned young man also paid attention to safety, which made me, a first-time snorkeler, feel at ease. The warm tea and sandwiches, riding the bus back while still wet, is that the Hawaiian way? By the way, one of the young ladies who participated brought a "cross that absorbs moisture... bought at a sports store," and I thought, "That makes sense!"

The sandbar is likely more enjoyable on low tide, but it seems you can still have a decent time even when the land isn't exposed. When I went, there was just enough of a path left when we arrived, but by the time we left, the land was gone.
On the day I participated, there were about 100 people, but the area to play in is large, so it wasn't too bothersome. You won't have the ocean all to yourself, though.
The staff were kind, which was nice, but I wish they would refrain from smoking on the sandbar.
The turtles and snorkeling were pretty average; the main attraction is the sandbar.
I think it's enjoyable for elderly people and families as well.
サンドバーは、干潮の日のほうが楽しめるでしょうが、陸地が出ていない日でもそこそこ楽しめそうです。私の行ったときはついたときにギリギリ一本道が残っていて、帰る頃には陸地はなくなっていました。
私の参加した日は100人ぐらい人がいましたが、遊べる範囲は広いのでそんなに気にはなりませんでした。海を独り占め、って感じにはなりませんが。
スタッフの方は親切でよかったですが、サンドバーで煙草を吸うのだけはやめてほしかったです。
カメやシュノーケルはまあ普通、メインはサンドバーでしょう。
お年寄りや家族連れでも楽しめると思います。

I was looking forward to the sandbar. After getting on the boat and listening to various instructions and explanations, we headed to the sandbar... It seemed to be a bit high tide, so the water was quite deep and initially cold, but we took some photos around the waist-deep area, and now that I'm back, I look at those pictures with nostalgia. During snorkeling, I was able to see many fish, as well as pufferfish and rays. The BBQ lunch was very delicious. The staff were all kind, and I made some wonderful memories.

Ko Olina is a gorgeous area, very picturesque with manicured grounds and on the early morning tour it's just lovely to drive through here with the sun shining. First thing I was really impressed with was the Catamaran, it's very large and luxurious, I couldn't wait to get aboard! They make you take your shoes off before boarding and they store them for you until you return, you can tell this keeps the vessel from wear and tear... it was lovely inside.
Seeing the Dolphins was amazing - they do get close, the boat wasn't moving and they would come quite close to us, we didn't have to follow them. A few were jumping out of the water less than 100 yards away, such a great experience.
The staff were polite, knowledgeable and helpful - they would offer to grab you a drink - you didn't have to ask, which was really nice for a change.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but I hesitated about the sandbar because I heard it can be heavily influenced by the weather. However, I always thought I should try it someday, so I decided to give it a shot. I wanted to make sure I could walk on the sandbar, so I chose a day when the tide would be close to zero during low tide. After that, it was up to the weather, but on the day of the trip, we were blessed with clear skies and encountered stunning views. The staff even said, "Today is super lucky!" The contrast between the white sandbar and the deep blue water was striking and beautiful. Walking in the middle of the ocean felt truly surreal. The staff acted as our photographer, giving us poses to strike, and we were able to take wonderful family photos.
After that, it was snorkeling time, and my husband and daughter participated. I took some time to explore the sandbar before returning to the boat to watch the snorkeling. It seemed quite deep, but they had a lot of fun seeing many fish. They mentioned that they would have liked a bit more time. The morning tour has a shorter duration, so that's understandable. We enjoyed our sandwiches and drinks leisurely, and there was no wasted time, which made us very satisfied. The staff were always energetic and kept the atmosphere lively. They promptly pointed out where the sea turtles were, so we were able to see quite a few. Everything was packed into a short amount of time, and both my husband and daughter were extremely happy. They even thanked me, saying, "Thanks, Mom!" I definitely want to participate again next time.
ハワイには何度も行っていますが、サンドバーは天候にかなり左右される…と聞いていたので躊躇していました。でも、いつかは…と思っていたので初挑戦。天候は仕方ないとしてもサンドバーはしっかり歩きたいと思い、干潮時の潮位が0に近い時間帯に当たる日を選びました。後は天候次第でしたが、当日は本当に晴天で、素晴らしい景色に出合えました。スタッフの方も今日は超ラッキーですよ~と!白いサンドバーから深いブルーへのコントラストもはっきりとしていて見事でした。海の真ん中を歩いてるのは本当に不思議な気分。スタッフの方がカメラマンをして下さり、ポーズも指示して頂いて、素敵な家族写真が撮れました。その後シュノーケリングタイムで、主人と娘が参加。私はしばしサンドバーを散策?して船に戻り、シュノーケリングを見学。かなり深かったようですが、魚もたくさん見られて楽しかったそうです。本人たちは、もう少し時間が長くてもいいかなぁと。午前中のコースはツアー自体の時間が短いので仕方ありませんね。サンドウィッチと飲み物をゆっくり頂いて、無駄な時間がなく、とても満足でした。スタッフの方は常に元気で盛り上げてくれました。海がめのいる場所も即座に教えて下さるので、結構見る事が出来ました。短い時間の中で凝縮されていて、主人も娘も大満足。ママありがとう~と感謝されてしまいました。次回もまた是非参加したいと思います。

This is our second time participating as a family, and we had a great time. At the sandbar, the timing of low tide doesn't always align perfectly, so the water level can reach up to our knees. Standing there and looking around gives you a strange feeling as if you're in the middle of the ocean. If you have small children, not being able to snorkel might reduce the fun a bit. Turtles can be seen everywhere. I wish it were a bit cheaper for the kids...
今回家族で2回目の参加ですがとても楽しめました。
サンドバーではなかなかうまいタイミングで干潮にならないのでひざぐらいまでは海面があります。
あそこにたって周りを見渡すと海の真中にいるので不思議な感じになります。
小さいお子さんがいるとシュノーケルができないと楽しさが半減するかもしれません。

We participated in a tour with lunch as a family. The air conditioning in the car was quite strong. We were divided into a cruiser and a smaller boat, and we were on the smaller boat. While it may not have been as stylish, it was nice to be surrounded by families with small children, creating a homely atmosphere.
We saw plenty of sea turtles, and at the sandbar, the staff helped with taking photos and even got everyone involved in beach volleyball. The snorkeling lasted about 30 to 40 minutes, and they constantly reminded us from the boat to be careful as "the coral can cut your feet."
The BBQ hamburger for lunch was exceptionally delicious, and we appreciated the prompt drink service as soon as we boarded, as well as the warm drinks after snorkeling (it was quite windy and cold that day).
While it does depend on the weather, I think it's worth going at least once.

行きの車中はクーラーがかなりきいてました。
船はクルザーと小さめのボートに分かれて乗りましたが私たちは小さめの船でした。かっこよさでは劣りますが家族連ればかりで小さなお子さんたちもいてアットホームな感じでこちらで良かったと思いました。
ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、サンドバーではスタッフの方が撮影に協力してくれたりビーチバレーをして盛り上げてくれました。シュノーケリングは30~40分ほどあり「珊瑚の上は足が切れるので気をつけてくださ~い」と常に船上から声かけしてくれてました。

The sandbar that forms in the ocean was indeed beautiful. When the boat arrived at the sandbar, we first had a photo session, and the staff were very cooperative in taking pictures. This lasted about 20 minutes.
After that, we went snorkeling, but this time was less than five minutes. My child's mask didn't fit well, and I was a bit late to start, so we ended up finishing in just 2-3 minutes! This was far too short. I've done a lot of snorkeling before, but I've never experienced such a brief session.
To make matters worse, on the way back, the staff jokingly mentioned that tips would be appreciated. From my perspective, I thought we had already paid for the experience, including tips.
One reason for the short snorkeling time might be the delay with the pickup vehicle. In fact, the pickup car didn't arrive until about 15 minutes after the scheduled time. I wondered if someone was running late. Just as I was thinking of calling, the car arrived, but no one was inside. It seemed like it was just delayed. After about five minutes of riding, we were made to switch to another bus, which was eerily quiet. As I walked down the aisle to find an open seat at the back, someone said, "How long are you going to make us wait?!"
We had been waiting for 10 minutes before the scheduled time, yet it felt like we were the ones who were late. Now that I think about it, the bus was parked far away when we switched, which seemed like an attempt to hide the fact that they were late.
The ocean was mystical and beautiful, but honestly, I cannot recommend this experience. I'm sorry.
海の中にできる島サンドバー。確かに美しかったです。
ボートがサンドバーに到着すると、まず撮影タイム。スタッフの方も撮影に協力してくれます。そんな時間が20分ほど。
そしてそのあとシュノーケル。この時間なんと5分足らず。
子供のマスクがうまく調節できず、ちょっと出遅れた私は、2~3分で終了!!これはあまりにもひどすぎました。今までシュノーケルを散々してきましたが、こんな短時間は初めてです。
おまけに帰りは、スタッフが冗談ぽくではありますが、チップをいただければなんて。こちらから言わせれば、チップも込みで参加費払ってるんではっと思いました。
なんでこんなにシュノーケルが短いのか、原因の一つは送迎の車のせいかも??
実はお迎えの車、集合時間15分ぐらいすぎてもお迎えの車が来なかったんです。どこかで遅刻した人がいるのかな~。電話しようかな~とその時、車が来たのですが誰も乗っておらず。ただ単に遅れたたけのようです。5分ほど乗ったあと、別のバスに乗り換えさせられたのですが、そのなかはシーンとしており、一番後ろの開いている席に行こうとバスの通路を歩いていたら、「いつまでまたせんだよ」と言われ!!!
私たちは、集合時間の10分前から待っていたのに私たちが遅刻した雰囲気。そういえば乗り換える時も、バスから離れたところに止め。今考えると遅刻したのを隠すため?と思うような行動でした。
海は神秘的で美しかったですが、正直お勧めできません。
ごめんなさい。

We sincerely apologize for the lack of communication that may have prevented you from fully enjoying the tour.
1. Regarding the delay of the shuttle van
We apologize for the long wait due to traffic congestion on the day of your tour. We appreciate your understanding that delays in the arrival of the shuttle can occur due to traffic.

Unfortunately, it rained all day, it was cold, and the sandbar didn't appear, so I felt like I just did some snorkeling and went back. Due to my lack of experience, I rated it three stars. However, there was one interesting staff member who worked hard to keep things lively, so I didn't get bored on the boat. I can imagine it would have been fun if it had been sunny, warm, and the sandbar had appeared.
不運な事に終日雨が降っており、寒く、サンドバーも現れず、
シュノーケルだけやって帰ったという感じでしたので、
体験不足により評価不能という事で星三つにしてます。
ただ、面白いスタッフが一人いて、一生懸命盛り上げてくれたおかげでボートの中で飽きる事はありませんでした。
晴れてて、暖かく、サンドバーが現れていたら楽しかったんだろうなぁ、とは想像します。

I was worried about whether I would be able to see the beautiful sandbar due to the cloudy weather, but by the time we arrived at the sandbar, the weather had cleared up! The sensation of stepping barefoot on the mysterious beach that appeared in the middle of the ocean was amazing! This tour focuses on experiencing the sandbar, so getting to that location is a priority. It was fun to see sea turtles and take photos along the way, but if I had to say something, I think the meals could be a bit more substantial. For example, having lunch on the sandbar would be great... (there may be regulations, though...), having just one sandwich on the boat feels a bit lacking. I'm looking forward to it!
あいにくの曇りの天候できれいなサンドバーに会えるか心配でしたが,サンドバーに到着するころには天候も回復!海のど真ん中に現れた不思議な砂浜を素足で踏みしめる感覚は最高でした!このツアーはサンドバーを体験することがメインなのでその場所に行くことを重視しています.途中ウミガメを見たり写真撮影は楽しかったですが,しいて言えば食事がもう少し充実していると良いと思います.例えばサンドバーの上でランチとか・・(規制があるのかもしれませんが・・),船上でサンドイッチ1枚はちょっとさびしいです.期待しています!

Staff was excellent!! Todd, Larry and ALL staff were extremely helpful & courteous. Highly recommend doing the Snuba, well worth the extra $. Larry got my wife and daughter-in-law underwater in a short time. Both were very hesitant at first and I had asked that they only try. The whole gig was GREAT!
