Oahu
This trip was my second time in Hawaii★ Last year was my first experience in Hawaii, and I was completely captivated by this country, so I came back this year★ I wanted to experience something unique to Hawaii, so I joined this heavenly ocean tour! I had read a lot of reviews before going, so I was filled with anticipation about what a fun tour it would be...♪ But... everything exceeded my expectations (>＿<)
As someone who loves the ocean, this tour provided me with incredibly wonderful and happy moments (：▽；) The staff were all very fun, and the men were incredibly handsome... (>Ｕ<)★ I even got to take pictures with them~~♪ I've seen many oceans in Japan, but nothing compares to the ocean I was taken to on this tour!!
The blue, azure, and deep blue were beyond anything I could imagine in Japan!!!! The contrast of cobalt blue and emerald green was so beautiful that I genuinely felt grateful to be alive, without exaggeration (laughs). At the sandbar, there was really nothing to do... that time itself was pure "healing," and I realized how trivial my worries were... I was able to let go of everything★ It truly was a "power spot"★
I took many photos with the emerald green sea as a backdrop, in places used for filming Jurassic Park and Godzilla♪ It was my first experience with snorkeling, and I discovered the beauty of the underwater world for the first time, which is still vividly etched in my memory. I was thrilled to meet a sea turtle while snorkeling. After getting out of the water, I was able to see sea turtles from the boat multiple times, and that alone made me incredibly happy.
This became my best memory from the four-night, six-day trip!!★ I brought a waterproof digital camera, so I was able to capture plenty of photos underwater and at the sandbar, and I’m very satisfied with that. I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera if you can♪ I will definitely participate again next year (＾３＾)
今回の旅行は私にとってハワイ二度目★
去年ハワイ初体験でもうすっかりこの国に魅了されてしまい今年もやってまいりました★今回はハワイならではのことが体験したくてこの天国の海ツアーに参加しました！行く前から口コミでもたくさん読んでいたのでどんな楽しいツアーなんだろ・・♪と期待に胸をふくらませておりましたが・・・・・
もう、、、すべてが想像以上でした(>＿<)
海大好きな私にとってこのツアーはたまらなく素晴らしい幸せな時間が過ごせました(：▽；)スタッフの皆さまも非常に楽しくまた男性は非常にかっこよく・・(>Ｕ<)★一緒に写真撮ってもらっちゃいました~~♪
日本でたくさんの海をみてきましたがこのツアーで連れてっていただいた海にかなうものはありません！！
日本では考えれないぐらい青い蒼い碧い！！！！
コバルトブルーとエメラルドグリーンのコントラストがとても美しく心底。。大袈裟でなく生きててよかったと思いました(笑)サンドバーでは本当に何もすることがない・・その時間こそが｢癒し｣そのもので色んな自分の悩みがなんてちっぽけなものだったんだろ・・と全部ふっきれました★まさに【パワースポット】です★
ジュラシックパークやゴジラの撮影で使われていた場所をバックにエメラルドグリーンの海とたくさん写真を撮りました♪シュノーケルも初体験だったのですが海の中の美しさ素晴らしさを初めて知り、今でもしっかり目に焼き付いてます。海ガメさんにもシュノーケルのときに会うことができ感動の嵐でした。海からでて船の上からの何度も海ガメさんにあうことができてそれだけですごく幸せでした。
四泊六日の旅行の中で一番の思い出となりました！！★私は防水のデジカメを持って行ったので十分に海の中の写真やサンドバーでの写真を残すことができましてとても満足してるのでできれば防水のカメラを持っていくことをお勧めします♪来年も必ず参加します（＾３＾）

My first time at the Kaneohe Bay sandbar.
I was truly surprised by its beauty, which exceeded my expectations!
On the day of the visit, I was a bit worried about the clouds affecting the view, but when we arrived at the sandbar, it was sunny with a stunning marine blue sea! The contrast between the deep and shallow waters was incredibly beautiful. You won't see a view like this anywhere else.
At the sandbar, we had about an hour of free time to play beach volleyball, practice snorkeling, take photos, and relax. I had my camera with me, and the Japanese staff took many posed commemorative photos for me! I brought a digital camera that can be used underwater, but I recommend using an underwater camera here! You can capture some really great photos.
After that, we enjoyed hamburgers on the boat. These were large and delicious hamburgers. Soft drinks were available in unlimited quantities. Alcohol (beer, wine) is available for an additional charge.
Then we moved away from the sandbar for some sea turtle watching. We could see many sea turtles from the boat. On this day, we were also able to see a manta ray, which is quite rare!
Finally, we went snorkeling in an area with coral. I was truly amazed here!
As soon as I dove in, there was a sea turtle right in front of me! I never expected to encounter a sea turtle so close, and I was really moved. There were many more fish here than at Hanauma Bay, and I was never bored swimming around.
If you're going to Oahu, I think this tour is a must-do at least once. The staff's excellent service was also wonderful. It truly became a fantastic memory.
初めてのカネオヘ湾のサンドバー。
本当に想像以上の綺麗さにびっくりしました！
当日少し雲がかかっていて綺麗に見えるか心配だったのですが、サンドバーに到着した時は晴天で本当にマリンブルーの海！深い海と浅い海の色の変わり目が素晴らしく綺麗です。こんな景色は他では見れません。
サンドバーではビーチバレーをしたりシュノーケル練習、写真撮影などと各自自由時間を一時間ほどとってくれてゆったりできます。私はカメラを持っていたら、日本人スタッフの方が記念撮影をポーズ指定で沢山撮ってくれました♪
私は水中でも使用可能なデジタルカメラを持っていったのですが、ここでは水中カメラお勧めです！本当にいい写真が沢山撮れます。
その後は船上でハンバーガーをいただきました。
これも大きいハンバーガー美味しかったです。
ソフトドリンクは何杯でもいただけます。
お酒（ビール、ワイン）は有料です。
そしてサンドバーから離れて海ガメウォッチング。
沢山海ガメが船上から見ることができます。
この日はなかなか見ることができないマンター？
も見ることができました。
最後に珊瑚のあるところでシュノーケリング。
ここで本当にびっくりすることが！！！！
なんと、潜った瞬間、目の前に海ガメがいたのです！！
まさかこんな目の前で海ガメに遭遇すると思わなかったので本当に感動しました。
お魚はハナウマ湾よりもずっと沢山いて泳いでいて全く飽きませんでした。
オアフ島に行くのであればこのツアーは必ず一度は行った方がいいと思います。
スタッフの対応の良さもとても素晴らしかったです。本当に素敵な思い出になりました。

The guides were all English-speaking, and only when we arrived at the sandbar did a Japanese guide come aboard from another boat to explain how to use the snorkeling equipment and the facilities on the boat in Japanese. Therefore, the overall content was mostly explained in English, but I didn't feel anxious about it. The staff were all very kind, so I didn't experience any particular inconvenience.
There were three destinations: Sandbar → Coral Reef → Sea Turtle Watching.
First, we headed to the sandbar. It was near the area where you can see Chinaman's Hat, and the location was fantastic. I thought the sandbar would be close to the land, but it was actually quite far from the shore, and I was amazed to find a spot where the water was up to my waist. The scenery was so beautiful that I thought if there is a paradise, it must look like this. At the sandbar, you can also play volleyball. Since the water is shallow, it might be a good place for those who are not used to snorkeling to practice. They provide fins and life jackets for snorkeling, so even those who are not good swimmers can feel safe.
When I went snorkeling at the sandbar, I encountered a sea turtle and was able to swim with it, which was another amazing experience. I brought a waterproof camera, so I was able to take great photos. If you don't have one, a disposable camera with waterproof features is also fine, so I recommend bringing one. You can buy one for about $13 at the many ABC Stores in Waikiki.
For lunch, we had hamburgers, which the captain grilled on the stove while we were playing at the sandbar, and they were delicious.
The second snorkeling session took place at a coral reef the size of a soccer field, where we could feed a lot of fish. It was a fun experience to have colorful fish pecking at the food I held.
During the sea turtle watching, we were able to see many sea turtles from the boat and took a lot of photos.
The sandbar is offshore, and it's a place you obviously can't reach by car, so I felt it was definitely worth using when visiting Hawaii.
ガイドの方々はみんな英語で、サンドバーに到着したときのみに日本人のガイドの方が他の船から乗ってきて、日本語で再度シュノーケリングの使い方や船内設備等の説明してくれました。
よって全体的な内容はほぼ英語での説明になりますが、不安になることはありませんでした。
スタッフの方も皆さん親切な方々なので特に不便はしませんでした。
目的地は三か所あり、サンドバー → サンゴ礁 → 海亀ウォッチングとなります。
最初に、サンドバーへ向かいます。
チャイナマンズ・ハットが見える周辺であり、ロケーションは最高でした。
サンドバーということで陸地に近い場所にあるのかなと思っていたのですが、陸まではかなり距離がある場所であり、こんなところに腰くらいまでの水深の場所があるのかと感動し、天国があるならばこんな景色なんじゃないかなと思えるほど素晴らしい景色と体験ができました。
サンドバーではバレーボールをすることもできます。
また、浅いのでサンドバーでシュノーケリングに慣れない方は練習するのもいいかもしれません。
シュノーケリングの際にはフィンやライフジャケット等も貸してもらえるので泳ぎが得意でない方でも安心です。
サンドバーでシュノーケリングをした際、そこで海ガメと遭遇し一緒に泳ぐことができ、またまた感動でした。防水のカメラを持って行っていたのでばっちり写真を撮ることもできました。
持っていない方は防水機能の付いた使い捨てカメラでも構わないので、持っていくことをお勧めします。ワイキキにたくさんあるABCマートで13ドルくらいで購入できます。
昼食はハンバーガーになります、サンドバーで遊んでいる間に船長がコンロで焼いてくれるので、おいしかったです。
2回目のシュノーケリングはサッカー場ほどのサンゴ礁で行います、ここでたくさんの魚に餌付けを行うことができます。自分が持った餌に色とりどりの魚が突っついてくる状態で面白い経験ができました。
海亀ウォッチングはかなりたくさんの海亀を船上から見る事ができ、写真もたくさん取れました。
沖合にあるサンドバーであり、車では当然行けない場所ですし、ハワイに行った際にはかなり利用する価値はあるのではないかと感じました。

Aloha! We are local residents of the island Oahu and have never been fortunate enough to do an activity like this one... until now!
Captain Bob's tour was an adventure full of variety for even the local resident. The sandbar was amazing and a great place to start the activity. We were surprised at the size of the sandbar and even though our tour was a crowded we had ample space to enjoy our own privacy and each others company. There was also volleyball set up in the middle of the ocean for playing and group enjoyment.
We then went to a spot where we saw an abundance of sea turtles. As locals of Hawaii, turtles are no big surprise and are often seen in our waters everywhere. However, when we cruised over the area - they were such an amazing and beautiful sight, that we started to ooh and ahh!
The actual snorkeling was also an experience. The reef that we were brought to was private and well marked and preserved. It was beautiful to swim around the edges and explore. It was the
I participated in late October 2008!
The participants were all newlyweds. I saw it online and imagined a blue sea, but unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day. The water depth was up to my stomach, and we were far from the sandbar.
Also, be careful because the water is quite cold!
2008年10月下旬に参加しました！
参加者は新婚さんばかりでした。
ネットで見て、ブルーの海を想像していたのですが。。
当日は生憎天気が悪く、また水深もお腹のあたりまであり
サンドバーには程遠かったです。
また、かなり水が冷たいので、ご注意を！

This time, I aimed to participate on a low tide day!
...but I mistakenly checked the calendar, and it was almost high tide (;_;).
I set sail feeling a bit disappointed.
But that feeling quickly faded!
The ocean here is completely different from Waikiki Beach.
It's not like the beaches in the North; it really feels like you're taken right into the middle of the sea.
Even at high tide, there are shallow areas where adults can sit and relax.
As our guide Yuko said, it was a sea where you could just "do nothing and zone out."
The snorkeling afterward was fun, and swimming while watching turtles was the best!!
Even those who can't swim can look for them from the boat.
Most of the staff are Japanese, so there's peace of mind in terms of language.
I think people of all ages can enjoy it safely and comfortably.
I participated in the morning session this time, but I definitely want to join the afternoon session next time.
Or if there's a full-day plan, I would definitely go!
今回は干潮日を狙って参加！
…したのに暦のみ間違いでほぼ満潮(;_;)
ちょっと残念な気分のまま出航しました。
でもそんなのすぐ晴れます！
ワイキキビーチとはまるで違う自然の中の海。
ノースのようなビーチとも違い、
本当に海の真ん中に連れて行かれる感じです。
満潮時でもオトナなら座れる程度の浅瀬でぼんやりタイム。
ガイドのゆうこさんが仰っていた通り、
『何にもしないでぼーっとする』ことの出来る海でした。
その後のシュノーケルも楽しかったし、
なんと言っても亀を見ながら泳げるのはサイコー！！
泳げないヒトも船上から見れるよう探してくれます。
スタッフはほとんどが日本人なので、言葉の面も安心。
老若男女問わずみんなで安心して楽しめると思います。
今回は午前の分で参加したけど、
今度は是非午後の分で参加したいです。
もしくは１日プランがあれば、ココなら行きます！

Captain Bob's was one of the highlights of our trip. The crew was very laid back and extremely helpful (served us beer in the water). One girl even got stung by a jellyfish and the captain carried her all the way back to the boat and immediately rendered first aid. 60 of us total and it was not crowded at all. Burgers were good, people were awesome and the snorkeling was spectacular. Saw a few turtles and other beautiful fish. Volleyball on the sandbar was pretty fun too!! All in all my husband and I really had a great time. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!!!!!!
It was the best time we've ever had. The food,the entertainment, the view was excellant.
I participated in a morning plan on September 1st.
Contrary to the clear skies in Waikiki, the area around Kaneohe Bay was unfortunately cloudy. Moreover, the sandbar we were looking forward to visiting had its low tide at just after 6 AM that day, so by the time we arrived, the water level was already up to our knees, and we couldn't stroll on the white sandbar like in the commercials. Therefore, if you really want to walk on the sandbar, I recommend doing some thorough research beforehand.
After returning to the boat and enjoying some light snacks like bread, chips, and fruits, we went snorkeling. A Japanese staff member kindly explained how to use the equipment, so I think even beginners will be fine. Perhaps due to the cloudy weather, the visibility underwater wasn't very clear, but we were still able to see the coral reefs and tropical fish perfectly.
After that, we changed locations for a second snorkeling session. We were supposed to swim with sea turtles, but unfortunately, none appeared (cry). However, we were able to see a sea turtle surfacing for air from the boat at another spot♪
On the way back, you can ride in the shuttle car in your swimsuit, so if you have something to throw on, you won't need to change. However, it can get quite cold on the boat, so it's better to have a jacket. Depending on the weather, I wore a hoodie and wrapped myself in a bath towel. Also, since waves can splash into the boat, it might be a good idea to put your belongings in a waterproof bag. If you want to take photos without worrying about getting wet, a waterproof case for your digital camera is a must☆ They were selling waterproof cameras on the boat too, but I think it was around $25?
While I regret not seeing the sandbar due to the weather, the time spent in the beautiful sea became a great memory. I would love to participate again next time for a revenge trip♪
9月1日に午前発のプランに参加しました。
快晴のワイキキとは裏腹に、カネオヘ湾付近はあいにくの曇り空。しかも楽しみにしていたサンドバーは当日の干潮が午前6時過ぎだったということで、私達が到着した頃には既に膝下くらいまでの水位があり、CMのように白いサンドバーを闊歩･･･という具合にはいきませんでした。なのでどうしてもサンドバーを歩きたい！！という方は事前によく調べていくことをオススメします。
ボートに戻ってパンやチップス、フルーツなどの軽食を頂いた後はシュノーケルです。使い方など日本人のスタッフさんが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初めての方でも大丈夫だと思いますよ☆曇天のせいか水中もあまりクリアではありませんでしたが、それでも珊瑚礁と熱帯魚はバッチリ見ることができました。
その後ポイントを変えて2度目のシュノーケル。ウミガメと泳ぐ~♪･･･ハズが、カメ現れず（泣）。でも、ボートに戻って他のポイントに行き、船上からでしたが水面で息継ぎをするウミガメに会うことができました♪
帰りは水着のまま送迎車に乗せてもらえるので、羽織るものでもあれば着替えは必要ありません。ただ、船上はかなり寒いので上着があった方がいいです。お天気にもよると思いますが、私はパーカーを着て更にバスタオルにくるまってました。あと、波しぶきが船内まで入ってくることもあるので持ち物はビニールバッグなど濡れてもいいバッグに入れて行った方がいいかもしれません。水濡れを気にせず写真を撮りたい方は、デジカメ用の防水ケースもマストです☆船上でも防水カメラ売ってましたが･･･25ドルだったかな？
お天気とサンドバーを見られなかったのが心残りでしたが、綺麗な海でのひと時はいい思い出になりました。次回、リベンジしにまた参加したいです♪

The sandbar had a more beautiful sea than I expected. It was disappointing that I couldn't dive while snorkeling because we had to wear life jackets.
サンドバーですが、予想以上に綺麗な海でした。

It was fun! The sea was surprisingly blue and beautiful.
The BBQ was delicious.
However, after walking on the sand, I went snorkeling right away, so I spent a long time in the water and got quite cold.
I was moved to see many honu swimming.
楽しかった！ びっくりするほど海が青くてきれいでした。
BBQもおいしかったです。
ただ、サンドウォークして、すぐにシュノーケルをしたので、海の中にいる時間が長く、体がかなり冷えました。
ホヌが泳いでいる姿をたくさん見ることができ、感動しました。

I had to cancel last time because I caught a cold, so I went for a revenge trip.
On July 13th, it was sunny in Waikiki, but the ocean in Heaven was cloudy... It was cold, but the staff's support was excellent! I had a great time.
It was my first time snorkeling, but I felt very safe with the staff watching over us. The fish and corals were absolutely amazing! I was moved by the incredible color of the ocean when the sun peeked through!
I want to go again.
前回風邪を引いてキャンセルしてしまったので、リベンジしてきました。
7/13の参加で、ワイキキでは晴天だったのに、天国の海は曇り。。。寒かったですが、スタッフさんの対応もばっちり！とても楽しめました。
シュノーケリングは初挑戦でしたが、スタッフさんが見守ってる中だったのでとても安心できました。そして、魚もサンゴもとてもすばらしかった！
晴れ間が覗いた時の海の色のすごさには感動しました！
また行きたいです。

At the sandbar between the seas, I felt the mystery of nature, it was amazing! For my first time snorkeling, I cautiously ventured from the sandbar to a point where the sea turned a deep blue. I was half scared and half excited, but there were so many fish in the coral reef, it was incredible! Unfortunately, my friend and I couldn't quite grasp the snorkeling techniques and had to give up on going to the deeper part of the sea, but it seemed we practiced a lot at the sandbar. Later, we went to Hanauma Bay for a revenge attempt, and it seems our practice paid off as we were able to see the fish. The staff lady at the sandbar checks if you can snorkel, so it's better not to push yourself too hard.
On that day, there were about 40 participants in the morning session, but in the afternoon when I joined, there were only about 10 people, allowing us to enjoy the scenery comfortably. I also got to taste the much-anticipated malasada, and the BBQ was delicious, it was just the best! Additionally, I brought a waterproof case for my digital camera, which made it so much fun. The photos are filled with my amateurish attempts, but I definitely recommend everyone to bring a waterproof camera. (Photos 5 and 6 are from Hanauma.) There was also a playful and mischievous captain who suddenly showed us a sea cucumber right in front of us, making it a truly enjoyable day.
海と海の間にあるサンドバーで、自然の神秘を感じすごーい？。そして人生初のシュノーケルで、サンドバーから恐る恐る海が濃い青に変わっているポイントへ。怖さとワクワクが半分でしたが、さんご礁にお魚いっぱいですごーい、すごーーい？。残念ながら、私と同行の友人はシュノーケルのコツがつかめず、海が深いポイントへは断念しましたが、サンドバーでずっと練習していた様で、後日ハナウマ湾へリベンジに行ったのですが練習の成果が出てお魚を見る事が出来た様です。サンドバーでスタッフのお姉さんがシュノーケル出来るか見てくれますので余り無理はしない方が良いですね。
この日午前便は４０名程の参加者がいた様ですが、私が参加した午後は１０名程度でゆったり景色を見る事が出来ました。期待のマラサダ？も食し、ＢＢＱも美味しくってもうサイコー★ あと、私はデジカメを防水仕様に出来るｳｫｰﾀｰﾌﾟﾙｰﾌｹｰｽを持っていったのですっごい楽しめました。ど素人ぶりが満載な写真ですが、皆様も是非カメラは防水を持っていかれる事をおススメいたします。（5・6枚目はﾊﾅｳﾏ） イキナリなまこを握って目の前に出してくるおちゃめでいたずらっ子なキャプテンもいて本当に楽しい１日でした。

For some reason, I had never been to "Sand Island." Until now, I had been avoiding tours that offered a relaxing experience, focusing instead on shopping and other option tours, but this was an eye-opening experience.
なぜか「サンドアイランド」だけは入ったことがありませんでした。これまではショッピングや他のオプションツアーばかりでゆったり時間を過ごすツアーは敬遠していましたが、目からウロコの体験でした。

I participated in the afternoon barbecue event. I was immediately given a malasada, and my spirits were high! With the staff's cheers, we began. We took a boat to the sandbar, and upon arrival, it felt like paradise. It was truly Hawaii. We enjoyed the sandbar in a private setting. The BBQ that followed was quite substantial and incredibly delicious. By chance, we joined a tour hosted by a Japanese celebrity and encountered live celebrities. Lucky!! At the sandbar, there was also a professional photographer taking pictures (to be posted on the website), which is recommended for couples. After enjoying the beautiful sea while snorkeling, we returned to the boat and encountered turtles. As we quietly waited for the turtles, we spotted their shells in the waves. We were able to see them three times (three turtles), which was very satisfying. We were blessed with good weather, and it became a wonderful memory.
午後のバーベキュー付に参加しました。いきなりマラサダをもらい気分は上々！！スタッフの掛け声とともに、始まりました。サンドバーまで船で行き、着けばそこは天国。まさにハワイ。貸切状態で、サンドバーを満喫しました。その後のＢＢＱもかなりのボリュームと、かなりのおいしさ。たまたま、日本の芸能人の主催するツアーとも一緒になり、生芸能人にも遭遇。ラッキー！！サンドバーではプロカメラマンによる写真撮影（ＨＰに掲載）もあり、カップルにもお勧め。きれいな海をシューノーケルで廻り、満喫した後は船に戻り、亀との遭遇。静かに亀を待っていると、波間に甲羅が。三度も目撃でき（三カメ）大満足。好天にも恵まれ、とてもよい思い出になりました。

The contrast of the blue sky, emerald green sea, and sandbar was very beautiful, and the sandbar exceeded my expectations. We walked about five minutes through knee-deep water from the boat to the sandbar. I read reviews beforehand and was glad I brought an underwater camera. (They were selling underwater cameras on the boat for $20 for participants who didn't bring one.)
The snorkeling was not enjoyable, possibly due to the previous day's weather, as the water clarity was poor and there were hardly any fish. I was disappointed since I participated with the intention of snorkeling. In this tour, snorkeling is done barefoot without fins.
I think this is a good tour for those who want to enjoy the sandbar.
青い空とエメラルドグリーンの海とサンドバーのコントラストがとてもキレイで、サンドバーは期待以上でした。
船からサンドバーまで膝下ぐらいの水位のある海を５分ぐらい歩きます。事前に口コミを読んで、水中カメラを持参して良かったです。（水中カメラを持参していない参加者向けに、船上で水中カメラを２０ドルで販売していました。）
シュノーケリングは前日の天候の影響もあってか海の透明度が悪く、魚もほとんどいなく楽しめませんでした。
私は、シュノーケリング目的で今回参加したため残念でした。このツアーでのシュノーケリングは、フィンを付けず、素足で行います。
サンドバーを楽しむために参加するには、良いツアーだと思います。

this was a very relaxing and romantic excursion of tranquility.
great food and entertainment. the scenery was awesome and the sunset was glorius. the people who entertained and served were impeccable in quality
It was such a wonderful experience that I can still remember the images vividly. The Ko'olau mountain range viewed from the sea was wrapped in deep mystery, contrasting with the sparkling ocean, and it captivated me. While snorkeling, I discovered a sea turtle swimming near the surface in the blue sea! Although it was only for a few seconds, being able to swim alongside it is an unforgettable memory for a lifetime. When we landed on the sandbar, the angle of the light made the sea display different colors, sparkling in 360 degrees. When I asked the guide to take some photos, they captured great shots by changing the background with prompts like, "Jump in this scenery" and "Sit in the water." I ended up with some beautiful pictures. Additionally, I made a reservation two days before departing for Hawaii at 11:00 PM Japan time, and I received a confirmation reply just six hours later, which allowed me to leave for Hawaii with peace of mind. Since it was a plan that allowed us to return to the hotel in the morning, we were able to enjoy the pool and shopping in the afternoon. I checked the tide conditions in advance before applying, so the sandbar was well formed.
今でもその映像が思い出せるほど素敵な経験でした。海から一望するコオラウ山脈は、輝く海とは反対に深い神秘に包まれ引きつけられました。シュノーケリングでは青い海の中、海面近くを泳ぐウミガメを発見！数十秒でしたが一緒に泳ぐことができて忘れられない一生の思いでです。サンドバーへ上陸すると、光りの角度によって海が違う色をなしていて360度キラキラとしていました。ガイドの方にシャッターを御願いすると、「この景色でジャンプ」「海に入って座って」などバックに映る景色を変えながら撮影をしてくれたので、素敵な写真も出来上がりました。また、ハワイへ発つ２日前日本時間の23:00に予約をしたのですが、6時間後には正式に受付け完了の返信が届き、安心してハワイに発つことができました。午前中にホテルへ戻れるプランなので、午後はプールや買い物に行けました。事前に干潮の状態を確認して申込みをしたのでサンドバーはしっかりとできていました。

It's a beautiful sea. The water reaches up to my ankles, and when the sun shines, it's truly bright white and beautiful. The yacht snacks are delicious, and you can also enjoy snorkeling. I would love to participate with my family again. It became a wonderful memory.

It was our 38th anniversary and we had a great time! The server and the crew were very nice! I would do it again! Thanks so much.
We really enjoyed the activity and the scenery was beautiful. It was great to view the island from a different vantage point. The friendly staff and food was great! It was definitely worth the money.You can be as active or as relaxed as you want to be.The staff was great with the kids.Unfortunately , it rained on our day so it kind of put a damper on things. The staff did their best to make it up to us. I would only recommend to bring extra clothes and a raincoat of some kind just in case.
My trip to Hawaii for six nights and eight days became the best memory ever.
I participated in a morning tour. It was a bit chilly that day, so I wore a T-shirt and a jacket over my swimsuit. There were a lot of participants, and we departed with two boats. I think there were about 20 to 30 people on our boat.
Upon arriving at the sandbar, we got off the boat and into the sea. It was quite cold, so about 30% of the people rented wetsuits. At first, the water was about waist-deep, but it quickly became shallower. The view was amazing! The color of the sea changed into various hues as we reached the sandbar. We had some free time there, and they took two photos of each group, which we could purchase later.
Also, since there’s a risk of getting wet, it’s definitely better to bring a waterproof camera. They sell cameras that can be used underwater for $20. Although I reluctantly bought one, I was really glad I did later on. I recommend purchasing one if you don’t have it; you can take photos of fish and turtles underwater! It’s a must-have!
After that, we returned to the boat and went snorkeling around the sandbar. At this point, everyone had rented wetsuits. While there weren't many beautiful tropical fish, we saw plenty of fish. And surprisingly, we encountered a turtle early on! It seems that seeing turtles near the sandbar is quite rare, and even the staff was surprised.
When we returned to the boat, it was meal time. The food was delicious, and I even went back for seconds. Next, we changed spots to visit the turtle habitat. While snorkeling there, we were able to see two more turtles.
Then we returned to the boat to watch the turtles basking in the sun. We spotted about five or six turtles floating on the surface! It was truly refreshing and amazing to see such large sea turtles swimming freely in the ocean. I was able to take great photos with my underwater camera, and it was the best experience. This is a tour I would want to participate in every time I visit Hawaii.
When boarding the boat, I recommend securing a spot near the front (this is where you get on and off). Also, act quickly. Even if there are turtles around, if you come later, they might already be gone. I think the spot for watching the turtles basking is the best position.
６泊８日でのハワイ旅行で一番最高の思い出になりました。
午前のツアーに参加。当日は肌寒く、水着の上にＴシャツ＋上着を着用。
参加者はとても多く、２台で出発。私たちの船には２０~３０人くらい居たと思います。
サンドバーに到着し、船から海へ。結構寒かったので、３割くらいの人はウェットスーツを借りていました。
最初は海面が腰くらいまででしたが、すぐに浅瀬に。眺めは最高！！海の色が何色にも変わっていきサンドバーに到着という感じです。そこでしばらくフリータイム。写真も１組２枚撮っていただけますが、後で購入する形になります。
また、水に濡れる心配があるため、防水カメラは絶対持って行ったほうがいいです。水中でも撮れるカメラの販売がありますが、２０ドルです。不本意ながらも購入しましたが、後から買ってよかったと心底思いました。持ってない人は購入をおすすめします。水の中で魚やカメさんの撮影ができます！！必需品です！
その後再度船に戻り、サンドバーの周りをシュノーケリング。この時点で皆がウェットスーツを借りていました。
キレイな熱帯魚はほとんどいませんが、魚はたくさん見れました。そしてなんとここで早くもカメさんと遭遇！！サンドバー付近で見れるのはめったにないらしく、スタッフも驚いていました。
船に戻るとお食事タイム。とってもおいしくておかわりまでしてしまいました。次はスポットを変えてカメさんの生息地域へ。シュノーケリングしながらここでさらに２匹見ることができました。
次は船に戻りカメさんの甲羅干しを見に行きます。海面にプカプカ浮いて甲羅干しをしているカメさんを５~６匹発見！！
あんなに大きな海亀が普通に海で泳いでいることが本当にもう新鮮で驚きで感動しっぱなしでした。水中カメラでバッチリ撮ることもでき、最高の体験ができました。ハワイに行ったら毎回参加したいと思うツアーでした。
船に乗るときは先頭付近(ここから乗り降りします)を陣取ることをお勧めします。そしてなんでも早めに行動を。せっかくカメさんが居ても後から来ると既にもういない・・・なんてこともありますので。カメの甲羅干しも一番見れる位置だと思います。

The weather wasn't very good and it was a bit chilly, which was disappointing. However, the guide was very cheerful and it was fun. Also, we encountered a sea turtle, but it was really fast and we couldn't see it. It seems like the people at the front were able to see it... I want to try again. I would love to participate again!
あまり天気が良くなく肌寒かったので残念でした。でもガイドさんがとても陽気で楽しかったです。あと、ウミガメも遭遇したのですが、すごくスピードが速くてみられませんでした。先頭の方にいた人たちはみられたみたいでした。。。再チャレンジしたいなぁ。また、参加したいです！！

My wife and I celebrated my 66th birthday on April 1st on board the Navatek 1. We had a great time and would do it again.
Beautiful boat and very well run. The staff was great and we got to see whales.
Our cruise on the Makani was amazing! The crew was superb and really made us feel like one of the family. Captain Jon was highly skilled, very confident, which made us all feel very safe, which was even more important because we had small children on board. We thank the crew for their service and we will definitely return!
We did the Makani Catamaran breakfast day cruise as a family and it was one of the most relaxing activities we did in Hawaii. The views were beautiful and the crew was extremely accommodating and informative when we had questions. We were there in late December so we were hoping to see whales & turtles but only saw dolphins, but the dolphins were delightful, they were spinner dolphins and they gave us a show and also swam right alongside the catamaran so we were able to see them very close up and get pictures. My kids are 15 & 20 so they also enjoyed it. There was a family with a young child and he seemed to do well, but if you have children that do not like to be somewhat contained for 2 hrs or are prone to getting out of control I would not recommend it for them. This is not a place for toddlers and small children to be running around. I would do this cruise again if we went back and I highly recommend it to others.
