I traveled to Hawaii and encountered rain for the first time. Of all days, it had to be the day I went to the sandbar. Also, be careful because the sandbar doesn't appear when the tide is high. The staff was kind and friendly, and the activities they had prepared were great. The food was mostly snacks, and while there were spam musubi, I wished there were more filling options. Ultimately, it really depends on the weather! I was disappointed with the rain. It was far from the white sandy beaches and blue skies I had imagined. I will definitely seek revenge someday!

ハワイに旅行して、初めて雨に遭いました。
よりによって、サンドバーに行く日に遭うとは。
あと、潮位が高いと砂州は現れませんので要注意です。
スタッフは親切でフレンドリー、用意してあったアクティビティも良かったです。
食べ物はスナック中心で、スパムむすびがありましたが他にもお腹が膨れるものがあればいいなと思いました。
何はともあれホント天気次第！雨が恨めしかったです。
イメージしていた白い砂浜、青い空とは程遠いものでした。
いつかリベンジします！

I visited Sandbar on a different tour before, and this was my second time. I checked the tide schedule and chose the morning tour, but the water level was higher than I expected, above waist height, so timing was tricky.

A Japanese female staff member provided thorough interpretation, which helped me understand the explanations in detail. Additionally, they took non-swimmers along with a float, allowing us to see the fish, which made me very happy. I was also pleased that they prepared warm drinks and rice balls for us.

サンドバーは以前は違うツアーで行って、今回が2度目でした。潮の満ち引きを調べて午前のツアーにしましたが、やはり思ってたような浅瀬ではなく腰より高い水位だったので、タイミングは難しいです。
日本人の女性スタッフが丁寧に通訳してくれて、説明事項が詳しく理解できて助かりました。
また、シュノーケルも泳げない人を浮き輪で連れて行ってくれたのでお魚を見ることができ嬉しかったです。
温かい飲み物やおにぎりも用意してくれていて嬉しかったです。

I participated in the Sandbar Angel's Sea snorkeling and sea turtle watching cruise. The atmosphere was nice and it was fun, but when I entered the water for snorkeling, the water temperature was low and "it was cold."

Snorkeling was enjoyable, but I recommend preparing for the cold after getting back on the boat. Our family of three participated, and we all changed in the restroom and wrapped ourselves in thick towels we brought from the hotel.

Even though it's a tropical climate, it felt like winter? Since the water temperature is low, I recommend taking precautions. I was glad I had read experiences beforehand.

The weather was nice, so I thought it was still bearable, but I believe cold weather precautions are necessary when it's cloudy, rainy, or windy.

サンドバー　天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズに参加しました。雰囲気も良く、楽しかったのですが、シュノーケリングで海に入ったのですが、水温が低く「冷たかった」です。
シュノーケリングも楽しかったのですが、船に上がってからの寒さ対策をお勧めします。我が家は３人で参加しましたが、トイレで全員着替えて、ホテルから持参した厚いバスタオルにくるまっていました。
常夏といえど、やはり冬？なのか。水温が低いので対策をお勧めします。
事前に体験談を見て行っていたので、良かったです。
天気が良かったので、これでもまだマシだと思いましたから、天気が曇りだとか雨、風が強い等の時は、寒さ対策が必要だと思いました。

I participated last month. I was very satisfied to see many sea turtles swimming in the very blue ocean. The guide was Japanese and explained everything in Japanese for the Japanese tourists, which was reassuring. I would like to participate again if I have the opportunity to go to Hawaii.

先月参加させていただきました。
とても青い海に泳いでいるウミガメもたくさん見れて大満足です。
ガイドの方も日本人で、日本の観光客には全て日本語で説明してくれるので安心です。
またハワイに行く機会があったら参加したいです。

I was so happy to be able to go to the dream sandbar! Given the time of year, it was unavoidable, but the water level was about waist-high. I participated in late January, and the weather was cloudy with occasional light rain, so it was quite cold! It's best to prepare for the cold. (I went into the sea without wearing a rash guard and put it on after coming out. It was the right choice since it was cold on the return boat in the cloudy weather!)

I also joined a snorkeling trip to see corals and sea turtles, but I panicked because I couldn't touch the bottom and gave up. I later thought I should have borrowed a float. However, for those of us who didn't see any sea turtles, the boat crew searched for them on the way back, and we were able to see a swimming sea turtle!

Also, the spam onigiri I received was quite delicious, and I ate a few others elsewhere, but this one was the best! There were drinks like soda, juice, and warm beverages available. After coming out of the sea, I enjoyed warm cocoa to warm up!

憧れのサンドバーに行くことができ、嬉しかったです！
時期的に仕方ないのですが、水位は腰くらいでした。
1月下旬の参加、曇り時々パラパラ雨の天気だったので、結構寒い！寒さ対策はしっかりとしていった方がいいです。（わたしはラッシュガードを着ずに海に入って、海から出た後に着ました。曇りだと帰りの船上は寒いので、それで正解でした！）
サンゴやウミガメを見に行くシュノーケリングにも参加しましたが、足が着かないことにパニックになってしまい断念。浮き輪を借りればよかったなと後で思いました。
ただ、ウミガメを見れなかった私たちのために、帰りの船で探しながら帰ってくれて、泳いでいるウミガメを見ることができました！
あと、もらったスパムおにぎりが結構おいしくて、他でも何個か食べましたが、ここのが1番おいしかったです！
ドリンクは炭酸やジュース、あったかい飲み物もありました。海から上がった後に、あったかいココアが飲んであたたまりました！

On the last day of the year, three generations participated, from an 8-year-old to someone in their late 60s. We were very satisfied with the wonderful hospitality of the captain and the staff.

My daughter, who can't swim, borrowed a yellow board-like device that allows you to see underwater while snorkeling and had a great time. While the staff entertained my daughter, I was able to enjoy snorkeling as well. The grandparents in their 60s, who were worried about the cold water and swimming, were happy to relax on the boat with a cup of coffee.

I would love to participate again if the opportunity arises. Thank you to all the staff!

年末最終日に、8才から60代後半までの三世代で参加。船長さん、スタッフさんの素晴らしいホスピタリティで大満足でした。

泳げない娘は、シュノーケリング中、海の中がのぞける黄色いボードのような道具を借りて楽しむことに。スタッフさんが娘の相手をしてくれている間、私もシュノーケリングを楽しむことができました。水が冷たく、泳ぎが不安だった60代の祖父母は、船上でコーヒーを飲みながらのんびり過ごせてよかったそうです。

またチャンスがあれば参加したいです。スタッフのみなさま、ありがとうございました。

It was December, so the sea was quite cold, but I had an amazing time! The sandbar was stunning, and the hamburger was delicious! During snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle, which made for a very fulfilling experience! But next time, I think I want to go during a warmer season.

12月でしたので海がまぁまぁ冷たかったですが、めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！
サンドバーは絶景でしたし、ハンバーガーも美味しかった！
シュノーケリングでは、運良くウミガメを見ることも出来てとても充実した時間でした！
でも今度は暖かい時期に行きたいかな。

It seems that the impact of global warming will not cause islands to emerge. I'm glad to hear that you're from Japan. The hamburger was also very delicious.

温暖化？の影響で島が出てくる事はないそうです。日本の方なので助かります。ハンバーガーもとても美味しかったです。

It might have been a timing issue, but the sandy beach was not accessible, and the water level was up to my waist, but I still had a great time. I was able to see sea turtles up close!

タイミングの問題か、砂浜は出ず、水位は腰下までありましたが、楽しめました。
ウミガメが近くで観れました！

I participated with my 76-year-old mother, and we enjoyed activities like snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding in the shallow waters.

When we joined, the water level was about knee-deep, but I think we were able to fully experience the atmosphere of the sandbar.

76歳の母と参加しましたが、
浅瀬でシュノーケリングやSUPなど楽しめました。

参加した時は海の高さは膝下ほどでしたが
サンドバーの雰囲気を充分体感できたと思います。

The scenery at Sandbar was exceptionally beautiful. The barbecue featured authentic hamburgers made with charcoal-grilled patties, which were delicious. During snorkeling, I was fortunate to see a sea turtle up close, which is a rare encounter.

サンドバーの風景、綺麗さは格別でした。
バーベキューは炭火焼きで本格的なハンバーグを使用したハンバーガーだったので、美味しかったです。
シュノーケリングでは、出会うことが稀なウミガメを間近に見ることができて幸運です。

The activities were great but the whole staff is awemazing!

There were staff members who could speak Japanese, which made me feel at ease to participate. It was the rainy season, so it rained on and off, but I had a great time. I didn't see any honu while snorkeling, but since we had some free time left, they took us by boat to a place where we could see honu, and I was able to see them! It was so much fun.

日本語が話せるスタッフさんがいらっしゃり、安心して参加をすることが出来ました。
雨季だったので雨が降ったり止んだりでしたがとても楽しめました。
シュノーケリングではホヌが見られなかったのですが、自由時間が余ったため、船でホヌが見られる場所に連れて行っていただき見ることが出来ました！
とても楽しかったです。

I was set on a tour that stopped at just the Sandbar, my mom insisted we do a tour that went to 2 locations... She was right! The sandbar is awesome and I encourage people to get out and walk around while you're there, play volleyball (if you want) or just enjoy being on land while under about 2 feet of water! Its wild! A Puffer Fish greeted us! She was much bigger than what I thought puffer fish were. We had burgers and drinks and were off to our second location ... the reef!! On our way we saw a bunch of sea turtles! They were HUGE! Some swam right up close to the boat! It was incredible. It was after a mild storm so the water wasn't 100% clear but still fairly clear. There were tons of colorful fish swimming all around us. I took a few mins to swim around the whole reef! Which every time I popped my head up and saw I was further away from the boat was a little scary and exciting! It was such a fantastic adventure day! My mom loved it, my kids were a little afraid at first at the reef but came to love it too! The crew... let me not forget about the crew! They are absolutely amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly,... when my daughter started to cry (9 years old) they knew her name and kept encouraging her! It was the sweetest! My son thought the main guide/lifeguard was the coolest and just wanted to swim where ever he swam (7 years old). The captain on our boat that day was a lady and also super friendly! Highly recommend to all ages and all skill levels! (I had my cell phone with a water protected case - i highly recommend. I purchased mine before the trip from REI, they sold similar ones in the ABC stores in Hawaii.)

We really enjoyed this trip! It was my husband birthday’

Although the weather was bad, the staff were friendly and engaged in conversation, making my time very enjoyable. Additionally, I was able to see wild sea turtles at an incredibly close distance. I think it's a good idea to bring warm clothing for winter in Hawaii, as it can get quite chilly. I did land on the sandbar, but it was too cold for snorkeling, so I waited inside the boat. A few participants seemed to enjoy snorkeling alongside the sea turtles, and I would like to try again in Hawaii during the summer.

悪天候でしたがスタッフの方々が気さくに話しかけていただき、非常に楽しく過ごさせて頂きました。
また、野生のウミガメもこんなに近くで見ることはというような距離でした。
冬のハワイは、結構寒く防寒着は持って行った方が良いと思います。サンドバーには降り立ちましたが、シュノーケルは寒くて船内待機していました。参加された方の数名は、ウミガメと並んでシュノーケルを楽しめたようで、次は夏のハワイで再挑戦したいと思いました。

The sandbar trip was so fun. My husband and I had a great time. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and the boat is clean. The lunch was great and we overall had an amazing time. We would definitely do this again and recommend to anyone either as a couples trip or as a family trip. I think it’s great for all ages.

Last year, I went to a sandbar on another tour, but this one was better. The weather was nice, and I was able to see sea turtles up close. The rice balls were surprisingly delicious. I plan to recommend it to my friends.

去年、他のツアーでサンドバーに行きましたが、今回の方が良かったです。
天気も良くウミガメがすぐそばで見れました。
おにぎりが意外にも美味しかったです。
友達にも勧めようと思います。

The sunset was amazing, but the captain's talk was also fantastic and really lively. It became a wonderful memory, and I'm glad I participated. Also, the purple sweet potato burger was very delicious. Which shop was it from? Thank you very much.

サンセットも最高でしたが
キャプテンのトークも最高でとても盛り上がっていました。
素敵な思い出になり参加してよかったです。
そして、紫芋？？のハンバーガーがとてもおいしかった。
どこのショップのものなのでしょうか？？
ありがとうございました。

I had imagined Sandbar to be a sandy beach like in the pictures, but it was just a shallow area, which was disappointing. Also, the hamburger lunch was small and not very tasty. Until now, all the tours I participated in Hawaii were very satisfying, but this time I was disappointed for the first time.

サンドバーは写真のような砂浜をイメージしていましたが、単なる浅瀬で、がっかりしました。またハンバーガーランチは小さく味もイマイチでした。
今まで参加したハワイのツアーはとても満足のいくものばかりでしたが、今回初めてがっかりしました。

I wasn't sure what to expect but it was such a great time. Captain Z is awesome, Casey was knowledgeable and Jaime was a lot of fun to talk to. We were able to see turtles when snorkelling thanks to them telling us where to look. The water activities were fun and I got to Stand Up Paddleboard for a decent amount of time. We were supplied with plenty of snacks and drinks (hot and cold). Overall it was amazing and I would highly recommend.

Our family of 6 was excited about snorkeling and seeing turtles. My children and husband had never been before, so this was a perfect day with a Nick taking the kids through the water. It was a personal tour of the beautiful reef. My elderly parents preferred staying on the boat, but that was excellent too as Sam filled us in on all the history about the island. I would highly recommend taking the two-hour private charter as the attention to detail and attention to guests is unmatched. They had drinks and water for us.
What are you waiting for? Book your private charter today and experience your ocean snorkel on a level above the rest.

Unfortunately, it was quite cold and rainy, so most people only played a little in the sea at the sandbar.

However, it's natural, and since December is the rainy season in Hawaii, it can't be helped.

During the sea turtle watching, we were able to spot many sea turtles from the boat.

After that, we went snorkeling. There were many fish swimming around the coral reef, and it was a great experience. I hope to visit again in the warmer summer season next time.

生憎の雨模様でかなり寒く、ほとんどの人がサンドバーでは少し海に入って遊ぶだけでした。

ただ、自然のことですし、ハワイは12月が雨季ということで仕方がないですね。

海亀ウォッチングでは、多くの海亀を船上から見つけることができました。

その後、シュノーケリング。珊瑚礁の周りを魚が多く泳いでおり、いい経験になりました。願わくば次は夏のより暖かい季節に訪れたいと思います。

We had a great time, the views were beautiful and the burger lunch was surprisingly delicious!

The staff were very friendly and provided great tips on what to explore around the area.

So much fun. the bbq burgers were good. The 1st stop is not worth it to snorkel, not much to see, just enjoy the sandbar and the volleyball. the 2nd spot was good snorkeling b/c it was at a reef. Don't swim over top of it though. just around it. you can make it all the way around it with plenty of time to spare. It was very fun. The water was a little cold, but not too bad but thats probably because I went the week of Thanksgiving. They give you the gear you need, my suggestion is to fit the mask before you get down to the water. they give you full foot fins to use. The crew was super helpful and really nice. I definitely recommend!!

I'm not sure if it was the timing, but it wasn't as shallow as it looked in the photos; however, it was a beautiful sandbar. It was the first time for my whole family to go snorkeling, but thanks to the guide's clear explanations in Japanese and their company while diving, we were able to see many turtles and fish, creating wonderful memories. I definitely want to participate again next time.

時期的に違うのかわかりませんが、写真で見ていたほどの浅瀬ではありませんでしたが、きれいなサンドバーでした。
家族全員が初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、添乗員のわかりやすい日本語の説明や一緒に潜って頂き、沢山の亀や魚を見れ最高の思い出を作れました。
また、次回も是非参加したいです。

The mountain side was cloudy, and I was worried about the weather, but it was great that the sea was sunny. The meeting place was at a building with a sign for "Ocean Voyage." We handed our tickets to the staff to check in, took a commemorative photo, and then boarded the bus. The photo was taken by a staff member, and after the tour, the photos were presented, and if you liked one, you could purchase it. Therefore, you cannot refuse the photo session, or you won't be able to board the bus.

In addition to the bus driver, a guide explains in English with jokes and music. We took a ferry across Morii Pond and boarded a catamaran to cruise Kaneohe Bay. Once we got offshore, the waves became larger, and the boat rocked up and down. Depending on the situation, the front of the boat can get splashed by waves, so caution is needed, but it was fun. When we stopped the boat's engine on the way back, sea turtles came close. I was lucky to encounter large turtles four times.

山側は曇っていて天候が心配でしたが、海は晴れて良かったです。
集合場所は「Ocean Voyage」の看板がある建物で行われ、スタッフにチケットを渡して受付を済ませ、記念撮影をしてからバスに乗ります。記念撮影は撮影スタッフが行い、ツアー終了後に写真が提示され、気に入ったら購入するシステムです。そのため、撮影を拒む事はできず、バスに乗れません。
バスの運転手の他にガイドがジョークと音楽を交えて英語で説明します。
モリイ池を渡る渡し船とカネオヘ湾をクルーズする双胴船に乗ります。
沖合に出ると波が大きくなり、船は上下に揺れます。船の前は場合によっては波をかぶって濡れるので注意が必要ですが、楽しいです。
帰りに船のエンジンを止めるとウミガメが寄ってきます。
私は4回も大きなカメに遭遇できてラッキーでした。

I was taken care of during the Honolulu Marathon in December. There were staff members who spoke Japanese, so safety measures were well in place. My wife said it was cold when she came out of the ocean. As an older man, I didn't feel that at all, but it might be good to have a larger bath towel and a hoodie, especially for women. I had a wonderful time swimming with sea turtles!

12月ホノルルマラソンの時にお世話になりました。日本語を話せるスタッフがいるので安全対策もしっかりしてました。
家内が海から出ると寒いと。
おっさんの私は全く思いませんでしたが、大きめバスタオルとパーカーあるといいかもしれません、特に女性。
ウミガメとも泳げて素敵な時間を過ごせました！

This was my second time participating. The first time was with my family, and this time I joined with friends.

I had a great time trying scuba diving for the first time and even got to meet a honu (sea turtle). I would like to participate again with my family next time!

２回目の参加でした。１回目は家族で、今回は友達との参加〜

初体験のスキューバーダイビングもできてホヌにも出会うことができ、楽しかったです。今度はまた家族と参加したいです〜

The tide was not low enough to walk, but the sea was very beautiful. The snorkeling was great, and the guide joined us, allowing us to see sea turtles. The water was a bit cold, so we couldn't stay in for too long; we enjoyed warm drinks and snacks on the boat while taking breaks. Next time, I want to participate during the hot summer season.

潮が引いて歩けるという状態では無かったですが海がとても綺麗で
シュノーケリングもガイドさんが一緒に来てくれてウミガメも見ることができました。水が少し冷たかったのであまり長くいるのは寒かったので船で温かい飲み物を飲んだりお菓子を食べたり休みながら遊べました。
今度は真夏の暑い時期に参加したいです。
