Sunday morning cruise. The captain and all the crew were women.

I participated because I wanted to see the Hotel Okura, Sapporo, and Diamond Head from the sea.

Just a little way out, the color of the ocean changed to ocean blue, and I enjoyed a wonderful cruise.

It was mentioned that only soft drinks would be available, but alcoholic beverages were also served on board.

It's easier to complete the waiver and health check online in advance to avoid any hassle.

日曜日の午前のクルーズ。キャプテン、クルーすべて女性でした。

ホノルルのホテル　オークラ 札幌、ダイヤモンドヘッドなどを海から眺めたうと思い、参加しました。

少し沖に出るだけで、海の色がオーシャンブルーに変わり、素敵なクルーズを楽しめました。

ソフトドリンクだけと案内がありましたが、船上ではアルコール飲料も提供されてましたよ。

事前の免責同意書、ヘルスチェックはWebで済ませておく方が、面倒がありません。

It was amazing. 最高でした。

Reviewed by: Five

You take an early morning bus to the port, and from there, it takes about 20 minutes by boat to reach the sandbar. Everyone involved was kind and friendly, and I enjoyed the experience from start to finish. There were also people who were fluent in Japanese, which made me feel at ease. If I come back again, I would definitely like to participate once more.

港まで早朝のバスに乗って行き、そこから20分程度船に揺られてサンドバーに到着します。関係の方々どの人も優しくフレンドリーで、終始楽しめました。日本語の堪能な方もおり安心して利用できました。もしまた来られたら次も参加したいと思います。

I appreciate the help as I couldn't manage to hold the snorkel properly. シュノーケルをうまく咥えられず、お世話になりました。

Reviewed by: ケイタ

I made a reservation in Japan before departure without checking the tide table, but luckily, the water was shallow up to my knees, which was great. I wore my reef shoes from the room, and I stayed in them both on the boat and in the water. Additionally, due to my nearsightedness, I borrowed a prescription mask. Whether I could swim or use the snorkel was a different matter. I didn’t know how to hold the snorkel properly, and water kept coming in through the gaps, so I held onto a staff member's float who spoke Japanese, and we moved along together. I got used to it halfway through and was able to look underwater for longer periods. Every time we spotted a sea turtle, the staff member would say, "There’s a turtle," and I was able to see them about 7 or 8 times. Encountering many schools of fish and sea turtles was an emotional experience. My first time snorkeling, meeting sea turtles, and visiting the sandbar was a fun experience that I can't have in Japan. The spam was also very delicious. Thank you very much.

潮見表を調べず、出発前に日本で予約しましたが、運良く、膝くらいで浅く良かったです。リーフシューズを部屋から履いて行き、船内も水中もこのままでした。また、近視のため、度付きのマスクを借りました。泳げるかどうかと、シュノーケルが使えるかどうかは別です。私はシュノーケルの咥え方がわからず、隙間から海水が入るので、日本語を話せるスタッフさんの浮き輪に捕まり、一緒に進みました。途中から慣れて長く水中を覗くことができるようになりました。ウミガメが見える度に、スタッフさんが、「カメさんいるよ」と教えて下さり、7〜8回くらい見ることができました。多くの魚の群れ、ウミガメに出会い、感動の連続。初めてのシュノーケリング、ウミガメとの出会い、サンドバー、日本ではできない楽しい体験でした。スパムもとてもおいしかったです。ありがとうございました。

I was able to encounter low tide on my second attempt. 再挑戦で干潮に出会えました。

Reviewed by: oggie

For this second attempt, I checked the tide chart for the sandbar in Kaneohe and chose the day and time when the tide would be the lowest during my stay to participate in the tour. It was perfect. When we arrived and moored the boat, the water was about calf-deep, and even after the first snorkeling session, which lasted 20 minutes, we returned to find a sandbar with broken coral exposed about 50 meters away. It was practically land (see photo). The quality of the sandbar experience depends on the tour company, but ultimately, the tide conditions are everything. I believe those planning to go should choose tours that operate during low tide, referring to the tide chart as much as possible. However, when walking to the sandbar, beach shoes are essential. The soles of your feet can hurt, and if you're unlucky, you might get injured. Captain Bruce already has established know-how, and there was a Japanese guide on board, making it a comfortable experience for Japanese participants. The spam musubi we had on the boat was very delicious. During snorkeling, we even encountered a honu (sea turtle) (see photo).

One downside is that the information provided in advance by Veltra mentioned that tips of 10% to 20% are not included in the travel cost and advised not to bring valuables. I only brought a single bill for tips, but there were signs on the shuttle bus asking for tips, and there was also a request for tips when we got off the boat after the activity. I found myself in a situation where I hadn't heard about tipping at two different places! I only had one bill! I wish they would stop the tipping practice, which is unfamiliar to Japanese people, and include it in the total cost. It's quite bothersome.

再挑戦の今回は、サンドバーのあるカネオヘの潮見表を調べ、滞在中のツアー催行時間で一番潮の引く日と時間を選んで参加しました。ドンピシャでした。到着時にボートを係留したところで、ふくらはぎ中くらいの深さ、最初に行われるシュノーケリングが20分して終わって帰って来ても、歩いて50mほどのところにある珊瑚が砕けた砂州？が露出していました。まさに陸地でした。(写真参照)。サンドバー観光の質は催行会社もありますが、やはり潮の状態が全てです。行かれる方は、潮見表首っ引きで出来るだけ潮の引いている時に催行されるツアーを選ぶべきだと思います。ただし、砂州？に歩いて行く時はビーチシューズは必須です。足の裏が痛いですし、運が悪ければ怪我をすることがあります。キャプテンブルースはすでにノウハウが確立しており、日本人ガイドも乗っていて、日本人が安心して参加できます。ボート上でいただいたスパムむすびがとても美味しかったです。シュノーケリングでは海中でホヌにも出会えました。(写真参照) 。難点を言えば、事前にベルトラからされた案内に10%〜20%のチップは旅行代金に含まれていませんとあり、貴重品は持ってくるなとありましたので、チップだけお札1枚で持って行きましたが、送迎のバスでも、チップくださいとの掲示がありましたし、活動が終わりボートを降りる時にも、チップくださいの案内がありました。2箇所でチップとは聞いていないよ！お札1枚しかないよ！ということになりました。日本人には馴染みのないチップやめて欲しい。代金に含めておいて欲しいです。面倒くさいですから。

Kaneohe Sandbar (Morning Session) カネオヘサンドバー（午前の部）

Reviewed by: hosop

I participated in the morning session of a family trip (with elementary and middle school students). It was almost high tide, but at about 1 meter, it was safe for elementary school students to play.

What stood out the most was the cheerful and fun attitude of both the shuttle driver and the guide on the boat. They were quite fluent in Japanese (or rather, most of them were Japanese), so I highly recommend this tour compared to others.

Here are some points summarized by category for your reference!

【Shuttle】The outbound trip took about 45 minutes, and the return trip took about 60 minutes. We were picked up around 9:00 at the bus stop near Trump, making it easy to participate. The same driver took us both ways, and during the return trip, he engaged us with comments about our experiences. (He also provided cheerful guidance in English and broken Japanese along the way.) There was a service for those who wanted to stop at a famous malasada shop (Leonard's) on the way back.

【Boat Transfer】It takes about 10 minutes to arrive, and the waves are calm, so there’s hardly any worry about seasickness. We spotted several sea turtles on the way out (although we could see them multiple times at the sandbar).

【Snorkeling】Everyone wears life jackets and sanitized snorkels, and there were also zayaks (a type of board with a viewing window?) available for children. For adults who cannot swim, one of the guides provides support nearby. There were many fish, but everyone was particularly excited about the sea turtles.

【Activities】After snorkeling, you can enjoy SUP, zayaks, floaties, and photo opportunities at the sandbar. There was about one SUP per group, so everyone had fun (taking turns as a family).

【On the Boat】The boat has a restroom and is quite clean. The minimal rocking of the boat also left a good impression.

【Food and Drink】There are unlimited servings of spam musubi, apples, snacks, nut bars, and juices (only one spam musubi per person). So, you can go without bringing anything.

【Caution】Jellyfish (Portuguese man o' war) were present, and a few people got stung (though everyone had minor injuries). I think long-sleeved rash guards are essential.

家族旅行（小学生＋中学生）で午前の部に参加しました。
ほぼ満潮のタイミングでしたが、1m程度なので小学生でも安全に遊べました。

何より素晴らしいのは送迎の運転手、船上のガイドとも明るく楽しい気持ちになりました。日本語もかなり通じやすい（というかほぼ日本人の方も）ので、他のツアーに比べて非常にオススメできます。

以下に観点別のポイントをまとめたのでご参考までに！

【送迎】往路は45分ほど、帰路は60分ほどでの到着でした。トランプ近くのバス停に9:00頃ピックアップだったので無理なく参加できました。また行と帰りは同じ運転手で帰宅時には感想などの声掛けもしてくれます。（道中、英語と片言の日本語で陽気にガイドもしてくれます）。
希望者はマラサダの有名店（レナーズ）に帰路で下車するサービスもありました。

【船移動】10分程度で着く上に波も穏やかなので船酔いの心配は殆どありません。往路ではウミガメを何匹か見つけました（サンドバーで何度も見れますが）

【シュノーケル】全員がライフジャケット、シュノーケル（消毒済み）着用しますが、小児はzayak（除き窓付のビート版？）の貸し出しもありました。大人で泳げない人はガイドの1名が近くでサポートもしてくれます。魚も多いですがやはりウミガメは皆さんテンションがあがっていました。

【アクティビティ】シュノーケル後はサンドバーでSUPやZAYAK、浮き輪、写真撮影などを楽しめます。SUPも1組1台程度はあるので皆さん楽しめてました（家族で交代しながら）

【船上】トイレ付で船自体も結構キレイです。揺れが少ない点も好印象。

【飲食】スパムにぎり、りんご、スナック菓子、ナッツバー、ジュース類が食べ放題です（スパム握りだけ1人1つ）。よって手ぶらで問題なし。

【注意点】くらげ（カツオノエボシ）が流れてくるので、刺されている人が数人いました。（ただし皆さん軽傷）長袖のラッシュガードなどは必須と思います。

Beware of jellyfish. クラゲに注意

Reviewed by: モモモ

More than one-third of the participants were stung by jellyfish. It should be possible to take precautions such as wearing rash guards in advance. The sea is beautiful, but there weren't many fish, and it was murky, so we left early. For those who have experienced snorkeling in Okinawa, this may feel lacking.

During peak times, more than 60 people participate, so the boat can get very crowded during meal times and when entering the water.

参加者の3分の1以上がクラゲに刺されました。事前にラッシュガードの着用など徹底できるはずです。海は綺麗ですが、魚はあまりおらず、濁っていたので早々に引き上げました。沖縄方面を経験している方には物足りないシュノーケリングです。

ピーク時だと60人以上が参加するため、食事時や入水時など船上は大混雑です。

I had a great time!! とっても楽しかったです！！

Reviewed by: AAA

The bus picked us up right in front of the hotel, which was very helpful. The inside of the bus was cold, just like "theBUS," so I recommend bringing a jacket!

Since it was an early morning plan, I had a light breakfast at the hotel, but on the boat, they provided drinks, spam onigiri, snacks, and fruits. The hot coffee was really delicious! The couple sitting next to us brought sandwiches, and I thought it would have been nice to enjoy that on the boat instead of at the hotel.

The staff who spoke Japanese kindly explained about the life jackets, how to play, and movies filmed in the area.

I checked the tide online and made a reservation, but the tide level during my session was just about waist-high! It was my first time trying SUP, and since the water was only waist-deep, it was easy to retry after falling, and I had a lot of fun.

While I was playing with my smartphone in a waterproof case, a friendly staff member offered to take my picture and captured me standing on the board! (There was even a moment when I lost my balance and fell, which was funny.)

During snorkeling, I had a great encounter with sea turtles and fish.

After getting out of the water, it was cold, and the young man next to me was shivering a lot. I recommend bringing a jacket, not just a T-shirt, like in the bus! Also, some hotels lend out bath towels, so it might be good to ask about that.

After getting off the boat, I was able to change at a nearby restroom. I had a really enjoyable experience and was very satisfied.

ホテルの前までバスで迎えに来ていただいて、助かります。
車内は「theBUS」同様 寒かったので、
羽織りを持っていくことをオススメします！

早朝プランだったので、ホテルで軽く朝食を食べてきていましたが
船では、ドリンク・スパムおにぎり・スナック・フルーツなどを用意してくれていました。

同乗していたご夫婦は、サンドイッチなども持参されていて、
船上で気持ちがいいし、ホテルで食べずにそれもアリだったな〜！と思いました。

日本語を話せるスタッフさんが、
救命具のこと、遊び方、周辺で撮影された映画のことなど優しく説明してくれました。

一応潮の満ち引きはネットで調べて予約をしましたが、
私が参加した回は潮の高さはちょうど腰ほどでした！
SUPは初挑戦でしたが、落ちても潮が腰の高さなので
リトライしやすく、とても楽しかったです。

防水ケースにスマホを入れて遊んでいたら、
気さくなスタッフの方が「写真撮りますよ」と声をかけてくださって、
ボードの上に立っている姿を撮影してくれました！(バランス崩して落ちる瞬間も笑)

シュノーケリングでは、ウミガメ、魚にバッチリ逢えました。

海から上がったあとは寒くて、隣の青年がめちゃくちゃ震えていました。
Tシャツだけでなく、バス内同様 羽織りの持参がオススメです…！
また、バスタオルを貸し出してくれるホテルもあるので聞いてみると良いかと思います。

船を降りた後、すぐ近くのお手洗いで着替えができました。
とっても楽しい体験ができて満足です。

The highlight of this trip for me was definitely the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, but I was still able to enjoy myself thoroughly.
While snorkeling, you can take underwater photos with your iPhone using a waterproof case. I even managed to capture a photo of a sea turtle.
Depending on the weather, it can get quite cold, so I recommend bringing a bath towel. As for other essentials, just cash for tips, your iPhone, and a waterproof case should be enough. I also brought a change of clothes, but there isn't a designated place to change, so we ended up wrapping ourselves in bath towels on the way back.
They also provide some light snacks, spam musubi, and soft drinks, so I think a light breakfast will suffice.
There was also a Japanese guide who was very kind and helpful.
I definitely think you won't regret participating!!!

今回の旅行で1番楽しみにしていたのが、このサンドバーでした。天気は残念ながら雨でしたが、十分楽しむことができました。
シュノーケリング中、防水ケースを使えば自分のiPhoneで水中の写真も撮れます。ウミガメの写真も撮れました。

ちょっとしたスナック菓子、スパムむすび、ソフトドリンクも準備していただけるので朝ご飯は軽く済ませるくらいで平気だと思います。

The sunset view was beautiful and the crew was nice, but when I booked a cocktail cruise, I wasn’t expecting a boat full of children. There was a group of over 30 that had around 15 children with them and they took up all of the seating. One spilled a sticky drink down my husband’s leg. I love children, but like I said, I wasn’t expecting it due to the advertisement of this being a cocktail cruise. I will read more carefully before I book a similar cruise in the future.

I checked the low tide in Hawaii and participated in a tour at the time it was at its lowest during my stay. The tide goes out around 8:30, so I was picked up at 5:45. After picking up other participants in the city, we arrived at the sea before 8:00.

After boarding, we headed to the sandbar. The captain provided explanations in English, which were quite fast and hard to understand, but a female staff member explained in Japanese for the Japanese participants.

At the sandbar, we spent the first 45 minutes playing in the water on stand-up paddleboards. The water depth that day was about 20 cm. After that, we put on well-floated life jackets and went snorkeling along the coral reef. There weren't many brightly colored fish, but a turtle came close, although we were told not to touch it.

We returned to Waikiki before noon, allowing us to enjoy more activities like meals and the pool for half a day. On the boat, there was one spam onigiri, chips, and drinks available.

良い OK

Reviewed by: OZM

There are a lot of amazing reviews, but I didn't find it to be that great.

Reason 1: "The boat is too small, and there isn't enough space to change or sit." Since this is a quite profitable tour, I wish they would use a bigger and more functional boat. Even when it starts to rain, if there are many customers, there isn't enough space for everyone to get under the roof.

Reason 2: "They don't lend wetsuits." Since we swim in quite deep water, I think they should provide wetsuits for safety. However, as mentioned earlier, the boat is small and there are no showers. Improvements are needed for both the boat itself and safety management.

The hamburger was similar to Mos Burger. It was tasty, but it felt pretty average.

The bus, like others have mentioned in their reviews, was cold. It would be nice if we could take our time changing on the boat, but the boat's restroom is cramped, making it difficult to change. There are no showers on the boat either.

The time we could swim was not very long. We saw turtles, but there weren't many fish. The sandbar wasn't as heavenly as one might expect, and it wasn't that stunningly beautiful.

Reason 3: The timing is too late. If they departed earlier, I think there would be more fish, but we arrive at the sandbar close to noon, so I believe the timing is too late. By the time we start snorkeling, the sea has already begun to get murky. It would be better to leave around 7 AM.

The guide (?), a Japanese woman, was very kind, but she was in a bikini from start to finish, which made me wonder, "Why?" The foreign female staff member was also in a thong bikini. She has a great figure, but I don't think it's necessary to be in a bikini the whole time (especially on the boat). Is the bikini style part of the service? That must be tough.

ものすごくよい口コミが多いですが、それほどでもなかったです。

その理由1 「船が小さすぎて着替える場所も座る場所も十分ではない」ということ。かなり儲かっているツアーなので、もっとでかくて機能的な船にしてほしい。
雨が降ってきても、客が多いと全員が屋根の下に入れるスペースもない。

理由2「ウェットスーツは貸してくれない」
結構水深の深いところで泳ぐので、安全のためにもウェットスーツを貸してくれるべきだと思う。
だけど、前述のとおり船は小さいし、シャワーもついてない。船自体と安全管理について
の改善が必要。

ハンバーガーは、モスバーガーみたいでした。おいしかったけど、これもふつうかなという感じ。

バスは、他の人の口コミと同じように、寒い。なので、船でゆっくり着替えたりできると良いのですが、船のトイレは狭いので、着替えにくかった。船にはシャワーもついてない。

泳いでられる時間もそんなに長くない。亀はみれたけど、魚もそんなにいなかった。サンドバーも天国といえるほどではなく、そんなに感動的なほどきれいでもない。

その3　時間帯が遅すぎる。
もっと早い時間帯に出発すれば、魚もいるんじゃないかと思うけど、正午近くにサンドバーに着くので、これも時間設定が遅すぎると思う。シュノーケリングするころには、既に海はにごりはじめている。
７時とか出発にすれば良いんじゃないか。

ガイドさん（？）は、日本人の女性がとても親切でしたが、最初から最後までビキニで、「なんでかな？」と思いました。スタッフの外国人の女性もひもパンでした。スタイル良いけど、ずっとビキニでいる必要はないのでは・・・（特に船上）。ビキニスタイルもサービスの一環なのかな？　大変ですね。

I saw a sea turtle! ウミガメが見られました！

Reviewed by: mocaron

The weather was unfortunately cloudy, but I was able to fully enjoy ocean activities like snorkeling, floating with a ring, and stand-up paddleboarding! During snorkeling, the captain pointed out a sea turtle hiding and sleeping among the rocks, and I was moved to see the turtle up close.
This was my mistake, but I didn't check the time for when the sandbar would appear, so I couldn't walk on the beach. Next time, I want to make sure to check the low tide time before participating!
Also, the staff's service was wonderful!! The spam onigiri and coffee they prepared were delicious!
However, we departed with two boats, one exclusively for Japanese guests and the other for non-Japanese guests. Personally, I believe that spending time with people from various countries is one of the great pleasures of traveling abroad, so it was disappointing that all the passengers were Japanese. That said, I think some passengers felt reassured to be among all Japanese guests, and on the Japanese boat, there was a staff member who was very fluent in Japanese, creating a comfortable environment for many! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

天気はあいにくの曇りでしたが、シュノーケリング、浮き輪、SUPで海のアクティビティを満喫できました！また、シュノーケリングではキャプテンの方がウミガメが岩間に隠れて寝ているところを教えてくださり、間近でウミガメを見られて感動しました。

ただ、2隻の船で出発したのですが、片方が日本人のお客さんオンリー、もう片方は日本人以外のお客さんといった形で振り分けられており、個人的には様々な国の方々と同じ空間で過ごせることも海外旅行の大きな醍醐味だと思っているため、乗客が全員日本人の方だったのは残念でした。とはいえ、乗客が全員日本人で安心した方もいると思いますし、日本人号には日本語が大変流暢なスタッフさんがおり、多くの方にとって安心できる環境だったとも思います！素敵な体験をありがとうございました！

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Great Snorkeling Trip!

Reviewed by: Marina

We had such a great time on this snorkeling trip! It was very planned, the crew was polite, accommodating and very friendly and the lunch was delicious. Our whole experience was incredibly enjoyable. Word of advice to the future participants- listen carefully to the instructions before snorkeling and you’ll see a lot under the water. We saw many fish and a turtle. It was amazing!

The hamburger I had for lunch was amazing! I wasn't expecting much, but it was overwhelmingly better than the burgers around here!

A valuable experience 貴重な体験

Reviewed by: Maa

There were Japanese staff members, and I was able to hear the explanations in Japanese beforehand, which made me feel at ease throughout the experience. The sea was beautiful, just like in the photos. I would love to participate again if I have the chance!

A precious experience to encounter a honu (sea turtle). ホヌに出会える貴重な体験

Reviewed by: かめさん

I went snorkeling to see fish, and I was able to swim with a considerable number of honu (sea turtles)! The crew spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy the activity with peace of mind! One thing I felt was that changing clothes, which was optional, is actually a must. (It's cold to return on an air-conditioned bus in a swimsuit.)

魚をみるためのシュノーケリング目的で行ったのですが、かなりの数のホヌと一緒に泳ぐことができました！
クルーの方も日本語が通じたので安心してアクティビティを楽しめました！
ひとつ感じたことは、持ち物で任意だった着替えは必須です。(水着で冷房のきいたバスで帰るのは寒いです)

The guidance was polite. 😊 案内が丁寧でした＾＾

Reviewed by: りーさん

Thank you for the enjoyable tour. Everyone was very friendly and it felt great. I had a child with me, and they were very considerate, which was a big help. Thank you very much. However, I was a bit disappointed that the weather was cloudy and cold, and the tide wasn't fully out.

この度は楽しいツアーありがとうございました。
色んな方に気さくに話されており凄くいい感じの方でした。子どもが居たのですが凄く気にもかけて下さり助かりました。ありがとうございました。
ただ天気が曇りで寒かったのと潮が引き切っておらずだったところが残念に思いました。

First time in Hawaii, first activity. 初ハワイ初アクティビティに

Reviewed by: かこりん

I'm glad we chose this for our family's first activity in Hawaii! ☺️ First, we listened intently to the explanations in English, and then we received a little bit of explanation in Japanese, which helped us get used to the English. We were also lucky to encounter sea turtles three times, which was amazing.

家族3人とも初ハワイ初アクティビティにこちらをチョイスして良かったです☺️
まずは英語での説明を必死にきき、そのあと日本語で解説してもらえ少しずつ英語に耳慣れ
ウミガメにも3度出会え最高でした。

A precious experience in a beautiful sea. 綺麗な海で貴重な体験

Reviewed by: ころちゃんの姉

I was able to enjoy everything, including the ocean, coral, fish, and the honu (sea turtle). The staff's English was very fast, making it difficult for me to understand since I'm not very good at it, but they provided support in Japanese, which was very helpful. Additionally, they kindly guided us, and thanks to them, my parents were able to enjoy themselves and come back happy.

The duration of the stay was shorter compared to other tours, but it was just right since I was with my elderly parents. I definitely want to visit this place again when I go to Hawaii!

海も、サンゴも、魚も、ホヌもすべて楽しく体験することができました。
スタッフさんの英語はめちゃ早くて、あまり得意でない私には聞き取りが困難でしたが、日本語でのフォローもしてくれて、とても助かりました。
また、親切にガイドしてくれて、おかげで父母も楽しんで帰ることができました。

滞在時間がほかのツアーに比べて短めでしたが、高齢の父母を連れてでしたので、ちょうど良かったです。
ぜひ、ハワイに行った際には再度訪れたい場所です！！

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkeling Tour & BBQ Lunch with Waikiki Pickup

Really enjoyable excursion

Reviewed by: Bob

If you really want to have a fun day, then this tour is for you. And, family friendly! I've done it the last 2 years and am going to book again for next year. The crew: Captain Cheyenne, and crew members Julia, Yuki, Yukiko and Cody are the best. Very friendly, and GREAT personalities.
Walking on this sandbar is an experience. And they even set up a water volleyball game. The water is perfect and the bluest I've ever seen.
After the sandbar, they fire up the grill for a nice hamburger/cheeseburger lunch with all the fixins. And they have meatless burgers also.
After lunch there is snorkeling. Due to recent knee replacement surgery I was unable to participate last year, but was able to and had a great time this year.
After snorkeling, you go turtle watching. There were plenty, and some of them are HUGE.
My one big recommendation: Bring reef friendly sunscreen because the sun will fool you. It was a bit overcast this year,, but the sun still managed to get me.

You can enjoy it without hesitation, even with children! 子連れでも気兼ねなく楽しめる！

Reviewed by: acyane

I participated with my 0-year-old child. Since there were many participants, we took two buses and two boats, dividing into a Japanese-speaking team and an English-speaking team for the boat ride. Everyone was very kind to the children, making it easy for us to join with kids! If the child wears a float, they can stand on the sandbar, and although snorkeling is in deeper water, as long as we ensure the waves don't hit the child's face, we were able to enjoy it without any issues! The staff attended to us in Japanese, making it easy to ask questions, and above all, the location was amazing. I'm really glad I participated!!!

0歳の子どもと一緒に参加しました
参加人数も多かったのでバスも船も2台で行きましたが、日本語チームと英語が話せるチームに分かれて船に乗りました
皆さん子どもを可愛がってくれて子連れでも気兼ねなく参加できました！子どもは浮き輪を付けていけばサンドバーは足が着くし、シュノーケリングは深い海ですが子どもの顔に波が当たらないようにすれば問題なく楽しむことができました！
日本語でアテンドしてくれるのでわからないことは聞きやすいですし何よりロケーション最高でほんとに参加して良かったです！！！
