We experienced this with our family of four, including an elementary school student and a middle school student! The sea was beautiful, and we saw fish and turtles swimming around! We enjoyed various activities like stand-up paddleboarding. The kids are definitely saying they want to go again!

小学生と中学生の家族４人で体験しました！海も綺麗で魚や亀が普通に泳いでます！サップなど色々楽しめました。子供達はまた絶対行きたいと行ってます！

The crew was kind, and the activities and snorkeling were fulfilling, so I want to go again! I was very satisfied with the tour as I got to see many turtles! There’s no need to worry about not being able to speak Japanese.

クルーも優しくアクティビティやシュノーケリングも充実していてまた行きたいです！
亀もたくさん見れて大満足のツアーでした！
日本語が通じない心配もないです

We visited in November again, just like last year, but this year we faced terrible weather with strong waves and cold temperatures, which made it quite challenging. However, my two elementary school-aged sons remembered last year's experience and chatted a lot with the crew! This year, it seems that the honu (sea turtles) came very close to us often! I didn't snorkel with my face in the water, but while playing and taking photos in the shallow area, they came right up close to me!

At SAP, the rain and wind were strong, and my son said, "This year is tough!" (laughs) Still, we had a valuable experience, enjoyed warm drinks and chatted on the boat, and even ate spam musubi, which was fun! Our family promised the ladies that we would come back next year!

昨年と同じ11月の利用でしたが、今年はみごとに悪天候で、波もすごいし寒いしハードでしたが、小学生の息子2人は昨年のことも覚えているのでクルーの方とたくさんお喋り！
今年はホヌがとても近くまで来てくれることが多いそう！私も顔をつけてまでのシュノーケルはしないのですが、足がつくところで写真を撮りながら遊んでいたら、体のすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれました！
SAPは雨と風が強くて息子も「今年は難しい！」と言ってました（笑）
それでも、貴重な体験をして、船では温かい飲み物を飲んでおしゃべりしたり、スパムおにぎりも食べて楽しかったです！
お姉さんたちと、来年も来るからと約束をした我が家でした！

Captain Nick and crew showed us a great time on our fourth consecutive annual November sunset cruise. Each one is a little different vibe. Sunday appears to be the best day for a more peaceful vibe. Great interaction with Captain and crew. The food is OK (catered boxes) but we started scheduling a post-cruise restaurant dinner last year at nearby Fresco and enjoyed that again this year. We plan to take this cruise every year!

I missed the shuttle bus due to my own oversight, but thanks to the kind guidance of the staff, I was able to meet up at the location by taxi and enjoy a wonderful cruise. (My family was booing me along the way) 😡😡

自分の確認不足で迎えのバスに乗り遅れましたが、スタッフさんの親切な案内で、タクシーで現地合流無事楽しいクルーズを楽しみました。(途中家族からはブーイング)😡😡

I thought a relaxing tour at Kualoa Ranch would be nice, so I chose this option. You can experience the magnificent nature of Hawaii. Next, I think an ATV tour would be good as well.

クアロア・ランチのツアーの中でのんびりツアーも良いかなと思い、これを選択。ハワイの壮大な自然を感じる事が出来ます。次はバギーも良いかと思っております。

This time we were blessed with great weather and had fun playing at a very beautiful sandbar. The staff were friendly and enjoyable, and the lunch hamburger was delicious!

I would like to participate again when I visit Hawaii.

Thank you very much.

今回はお天気に恵まれ、とても綺麗なサンドバーで遊べました。
スタッフの皆さんもフレンドリーで楽しく
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しかったです!

またハワイを訪れた際は参加したいと思いました。

ありがとうございました。

My child drank a lot of seawater during their first snorkeling experience and kept saying it was cold, but thanks to their favorite miso soup, they were able to finish the tour feeling happy. The staff were very polite and kind, making our time there very comfortable.

子どもが初めてのシュノーケルで、大量に海水を飲んでしまい、寒い寒いと言っていましたが、子どもの大好きなお味噌汁があったおかげで、最後まで楽しい気持ちでツアーを終える事でき
またスタッフの方々がとても丁寧で優しく接してくださり、とても快適に過ごせました。

The sandbar trip was amazing. Really friendly crew made us feel like Ohana, and provided everything we could ask for. Even though it rained while we were there, our guide found a great place to snorkel and helped the less experienced folks acclimate to their gear. Great experience. We'll do it again and hope for sun!

From our pick up in Waikiki to drop off our trip was wonderful!
The team on the catamaran was friendly , knowledgeable & fun.
We will definitely book again next time we are back .

It started to rain after we got on the boat, and even though it cleared up, the view wasn't very beautiful. I felt like the time went by shorter than I expected. The staff were kind, which was nice.

船に乗ってから雨が降ってきてしまって晴れたけどあまり綺麗に見えなかった。。
思ったより時間が短く感じた。
スタッフの方は優しくてよかった。

At the snorkeling spot provided, there are always turtles, and you can capture photos of them. The coral itself isn't very beautiful, but encountering turtles is a rare experience in Japan, making it worthwhile. You can also enjoy stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), but this time the water depth wasn't suitable for a sandbar, so it might be necessary to choose the right season.

付属のシュノーケリング場所には必ず亀がいて写真に納めることが出来ます。
サンゴ自体は綺麗ではないけど亀に出会えるのは日本ではなかなか無いので良い経験です。
SUPも楽しめますが、今回はサンドバーとは言えない深さの水深でしたので時期を選ぶ必要はあるかもです。

I made a reservation for a day I could go, so I wasn't quite sure where the sandbar was since the sea was quite deep, but the scenery was dreamily beautiful, and I was very satisfied to see sea turtles! Even if you get tired from swimming, you can take a break on the boat, and you have quite a bit of freedom to enjoy your time on-site. There were light snacks provided, which gave it a picnic-like excitement. Since the food was available at any time, we ate when we came back to the boat for a break. The driver who picked us up also gave us a tour of the area while driving, making the journey enjoyable! I want to go again!

行ける日にちに予約したのでけっこう海が深くてどこがサンドバーなのかよくわかりませんでしたが夢のように美しい景色が広がっており、ウミガメも見れたので大満足です！
泳ぎ疲れても船で休憩したり、現地では割と自由に過ごせます。
軽食がついており、ピクニックのようなウキウキ感がありました。
いつでも食べられるようになってるので私たちは休憩に船に上がって来た時に食べました。
送迎のドライバーさんも周辺を案内しながら送ってくれるので道中も楽しく過ごせました！
また行きたいです！

The sandbar was very beautiful, and I was lucky enough to encounter a turtle. Those who had booked the same time as us were split into two boats, and we enjoyed snorkeling and free time at different times.

After receiving an explanation about snorkeling, my mother asked, "Is it okay for me to go since I can swim?" and was told firmly, "We can't know if you can swim or not. You have to decide for yourself." This made her anxious, and she decided not to go. Since this trip was meant to be a way to show appreciation to my mother, seeing her sad face after being spoken to so coldly made me really sad.

Everyone else went snorkeling, so while we were waiting, a staff member from another boat came over and said that if she could swim, she could join the snorkeling group. They also offered paddleboards and floaties, but all of that was from the other boat. There was no encouragement from the staff on my boat for those who weren't going snorkeling at that time.

I understand that they need to be strict to prevent accidents and that they can't take responsibility, but I wish I could have experienced it with the staff from the other boat who communicated in a kinder way. It was disappointing.

サンドバーはとても綺麗で運よくカメに出会うことができました。
同じ時間に船を予約してい方が二つの船に別れており、
時間を変えてシュノーケリングとフリー時間を楽しむ形でした。

シュノーケリングの説明を受けた後に、「泳げるから行っても大丈夫かな？」と母が質問したところ「あなたが泳げるかどうかは私たちにはわからないから。自分で決めて。」と強く言われ、不安になってやめました。親孝行で行った旅行だったので冷たく言われ悲しそうな顔をする母を見てすごく悲しくなりました。

私たち以外はみんな行っていたので時間を潰していると別の船のスタッフの方が話しかけてくれて、泳げるなら泳げる人の捕まっていけばシュノーケリングも大丈夫だよ。と案内してくれました。暇そうにしているとサップや浮き輪も案内してくれましたが、全部別の船の方。私が乗った船の方からはシュノーケリングに行っていない人へその時これしてていいよ〜など声掛けはありませんでした。

もちろん事故に遭わないために強くいうことや責任をが取れないことも承知していますが、これなら優しく伝えてくれる別の船の方で体験したかったなと思い残念でした。

They were so friendly and very engaging you didn’t feel rushed or pressured! It was so relaxing and the guides did a great job pointing out cool animals on the reef we probably would have missed! Definitely worth it!

If you’re worried about this being overly commercialized, crowded, or having a crew that is just going through the motions…you’d be pleasantry wrong! This is a must do.

I looked at various reviews and checked the tide before going. I had a lot of fun paddleboarding and snorkeling. Izumi-san (a Japanese person) explained everything, so it's totally fine even if you don't understand English. About 70% of the participants were Japanese. Since it's a place you can only reach by boat, the price might be reasonable, but since the playtime is only about two hours, it would be nice if it were a bit longer. There was also a simple toilet available.

It was my first time snorkeling, but the water was murky, and there were only black fish that looked like carp. I heard there were sea turtles, but I didn't see any. Some people say it's really beautiful, but I think it's better not to have high expectations.

I only took cash for tips as valuables, but I forgot the bus tip (1 dollar), so it's better to bring both the crew tip and the bus tip.

On the way back, since you return in your swimsuit, it's good to wear something over it.

Having a waterproof case for your smartphone is convenient, but the screen reflects and is hard to see, so the images I took were pretty unclear. At one point, it overheated and I got a warning about high temperatures, so I couldn't use it for a while.

I thought the bus would take me right to the hotel, but the area is large, and the bus stop is hard to find, so it's necessary to check in advance. There’s a waiting area for various tour bus stops, so if you’re not waiting there, they might not find you, so please be careful.

口コミを色々見て、
潮位を調べて行きました。
サップしたりシュノーケリングしたり
とても楽しかった。イズミさん？（日本人）が説明してくれるので、英語わからなくても全然大丈夫です。参加してたのも70%が日本人でした。船でしか行けない場所なので、妥当な金額かもしれないけど、遊ぶのは2時間くらいなので、もう少し長くてもいいかな〜
簡易トイレみたいなのも付いてましたよ。

シュノーケリングは、初めてでしたが、
海の中は、濁っていて、黒いフナ？みたいな魚しかいません笑
海ガメもいたみたいですが
わたしは見れませんでした。
すごくキレイと口コミしてる人もいますが
そこは、期待しない方がいいでしょう。

貴重品は、チップの現金しか持って行きませんでしたが、バスのチップ（1ドル）忘れてたので、クルーのチップ➕バスのチップだけ持った方がいいです。

帰りは、水着のまま帰るので、その上から
着られる服で行くのが、いいです。

スマホは、防水ケースがあると便利ですが

I was very relieved to have someone who spoke Japanese on the boat. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and I was surprised. The water was shallow enough to my thighs, so I could play without worry. After putting on a life jacket, I swam in a spot that was about 10 meters deep. I was glad to see several sea turtles.

日本語を話せる方が船にいらっしゃったので、とても安心でした。海がとても綺麗でびっくりしました。太ももくらいの水深だったので安心して遊べました。ライフジャケットを着た後は、水深10メートルくらいの場所を泳ぎました。ウミガメを何匹もみれて良かったです。

Thanks to Jamie, our savior who understands English, we were able to fully enjoy stand-up paddleboarding and snorkeling! Especially, when he asked my 14-year-old daughter if she could swim, and she replied that she wasn't very good at it, he made sure to assign a staff member to help her. She was so happy to see a turtle! On the way back, when she felt seasick, he brought her ginger ale, and after drinking it, she felt completely better, which became a great memory as well! Thank you so much!

英語がわからないわたし達の救世主、ジェイミーさんのお陰でsupやシュノーケリングを存分に楽しめました！
特に14歳の娘に対して、泳げる？と聞いてくれ、あまり得意でないと答えるとちゃんとスタッフさんをつけてくれ、娘もカメが見えた！と大喜び。帰り船酔いした時も、ジンジャーエールがいいよ！と持ってきてくれ、それを飲んだらスッカリ良くなったようでそれもいい思い出になりました！本当にありがとうございました！

There are actually sea turtles swimming nearby. An experience that you can't have in Japan is right here. The crew is also very friendly.

実際に近くにウミガメが泳いでいます。日本では出来ない経験が身近にやって来ます。クルーも大変親切です。

We thoroughly enjoyed this entire experience. The ship and crew was outstanding and the ability to do 'off shore' sandbar stopover with BBQ lunch and snorkeling was terrific. Although we had a rental car, we opted to take advantage of their transportation (a bus) and that was a real plus with door-to-door service. And although the bus was filled to capacity, on arrival they broke into two groups with two sailing vessels but stayed in tandem. The ships were in top shape and the onboard restrooms clean and stocked.

The sandbar experience was wonderful permitting amazing photos with Oahu mountains in the background. The crew was outgoing, mixing with the guests and ensuring all was safe and fun. The BBQ was ample and tasty, and the included and optional drinks wide ranging. The tour allowed plenty of time for all phases including the snorkeling...never feeling rushed with lots of time for exploration along the reef. The fish were plentiful and the coral in good condition. The crew was environmentally conscientious and took extra care in entering and existing the ship while snorkeling (with an onboard fresh water rinse afterwards). Their snorkel gear appeared new with ample numbers of swim jackets.

I highly recommend booking Captain Bob's...you won't regret it.

There were Japanese staff members, so I felt安心してツアーに参加できました! I was wondering if I would get to see sea turtles, and I was happy to encounter them not only while moving on the boat but also during snorkeling.

日本人のスタッフもいるので、安心してツアーに参加できました！
ウミガメも出会えるかなどうかなと思っていたらボートでの移動中だけでなくシュノーケルのときにも出会えて良かったです。

The staff were kind and funny!! I thought I would like to go again. It was a very good experience! The sea turtles were cute too!

スタッフのみなさんがやさしく、おもしろかったです！！また行ってみたいとおもいました。
とても良い経験でした！
海亀もかわいかったです！

Thanks to Jamie and the staff's thoughtful care, I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. It was a strange feeling to be right in the middle of the ocean. They showed us the corals and fish underwater, and even picked up a pink sea cucumber from the ocean for us to see. The SUP after scuba diving was also fun. Additionally, I was lucky enough to spot a honu five times. Their little heads popping up for air were incredibly cute. I'm grateful to the staff for providing such a wonderful experience.

ジェイミーさんはじめスタッフのみなさの心遣いで安心して楽しめました。
海のど真ん中にたてるのは不思議な感覚です。
海中の珊瑚や魚を見せていただき、ピンク色のシー キューカンバを海中から拾って見せて下さいました。スキューバの後のSUPも楽しかったです。
また、幸運にもホヌを5回も見かけました。
呼吸の為か、ポコッと頭をだすのが最高に可愛いかったです。
素敵な体験をさせていただきスタッフの皆さんに感謝です。

Hi

We had an incredible experience. Your crew was excellent. Can’t wait to go on another charter.

thanks

I participated in the second tour. The weather was amazing, the guide was fantastic, and it was a very enjoyable time. After we arrived at the point, we started playing in the water, but during lunch, the tide was high, so even at a shallow point, I, being 153 cm tall, could barely touch the bottom. It's definitely important to check the tides. After playing for a while, we went snorkeling, but about half of the group stayed on the boat.

2便に参加しました。お天気サイコー、ガイドさんもサイコーで、とても楽しいひとときでした。ポイントについた後、水遊び開始ですが、お昼は満潮近く水位が高かったので、浅瀬のポイントでも153cmの私でやっと足がつくかつかないか、でした。やっぱり潮の満ち引きは要チェックです。しばし遊んだ後シュノーケリングでしたが、半分くらいの方は船上に残っていました。

Every time I experience it, I'm moved. This time, the sleeping honu (sea turtle) woke up and swam right within reach below me. The water was a bit murky, but it was fun!

何度体験しても感動です。
今回は寝ていたホヌちゃんが起きて真下の手が届く距離に泳いできてくれました。
水は少し濁っていたけど楽しかったです〜。

I participated in this tour for the first time in seven years. This time, I snorkeled for the first time, and I was so moved that I regretted not doing it before. I was lucky enough to encounter many fish and even saw sea turtles multiple times, which I thought would be a rare occurrence. After getting out of the water, it gets chilly, so I recommend bringing extra beach towels. There were also warm drinks available, which was very helpful. Above all, I was so happy to see our guide, Jamie, again! I definitely want to participate again when I come to Hawaii.

7年ぶりにこのツアーに参加しました。今回初めてシュノーケルをしたのですが、今までしなかったことを後悔するくらい感動しました。たくさんの魚たち、会えたらラッキーだなと思っていたウミガメにも何回も遭遇することができました。海から上がったあとは冷えるので多めにビーチタオルを持ってくると良いと思います。温かい飲み物もあったのでとても助かりました。何よりガイドのジェイミーさんとまたお会いできたことが嬉しかったです！ハワイに来る時は絶対に参加したいです

the staff are so nice and helpful,the views are beautiful

It was great that it was sunny this year after two consecutive years of cloudy weather. When it's sunny, the water is beautiful and I could see the turtles well. Unfortunately, the white sandy beach didn't appear, but I was happy to find Jamie, who took care of us last year, on the neighboring boat! This year, I was moved to see a large turtle, about the size of three adults, swimming gracefully up close! Anyway, the crew members teach us various things in Japanese, so there's nothing to worry about. It gets cold after coming out of the sea, so it's a good idea to wrap yourself in a towel you brought from the hotel. Thank you, Izumi!

2年連続曇りだったので、今年は晴れて良かった。やっぱり晴れていると水も綺麗で亀さん達も良く見えた。残念ながら白い砂浜は出現しなかったけど、去年お世話になったジェイミーも隣の船で発見して嬉しかった！今年は大人3人分くらいの大きな亀が優雅に泳いでて間近で見れて感動！とにかくクルーの方が日本語で細かく色々な事を教えてくれるので何も困らない。海から上がったら寒いのでホテルから持参したタオルを巻いて凌ぐといいね。イズミありがとう！
