All Reviews for Recommended for Kids 0-2

The group was divided into Japanese and English, which was reassuring. It's also good for families with children. The weather was really nice, but the water temperature in December might be cold; you can get in, but it's chilly when you come out. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious! We were able to see a sea turtle up close while snorkeling, and it was a great experience for my child. Thank you!

日本語と英語でグループが分かれていて説明などは安心
子連れにもGOOD
天気はすごく良かったが12月の水温は冷たいかな、入れないことないが出てから寒い。ランチのハンバーガーがとても美味しかった!シュノーケル中に至近距離でウミガメも見えて子供と良い体験ができました、ありがとうございました。

Our family of four enjoyed day out with Capt Bob Sandbar tour. Recommend wearing swim rash guard to help retain body heat.

I went snorkeling in a coral reef where sea turtles come and go. A sea turtle appeared right in front of me from a hole in the reef, and I was able to swim together with it for a little while. It was an emotional experience.

ウミガメが出入りする珊瑚礁でシノーケリングをしました。珊瑚礁の穴からウミガメが目の前に出て来て少しの間一緒に泳ぐ事が出来ました。感動しました。

I thought I could take photos like in a guidebook, but the sandbar was underwater! It seems that it's rare for it to be in a guidebook-like condition. However, I had a great time with activities like volleyball, snorkeling, sea turtle watching, and a hamburger lunch on the boat!

ガイドブックのような写真が撮れるかと思っていましたが、サンドバーは海の中でした！
ガイドブックのような状態になるのは、稀らしいです。でもバレーボールやシュノーケリング、ウミガメウオッチ、船上ハンバガーランチなど、大変楽しむ事が出来ました！

I was informed about the tide conditions in advance and chose the best time to participate. There was also an explanation in Japanese, so I had no worries. On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly, but the warm drinks were very appreciated. I was moved to see many more turtles than I expected. SUP was also fun.

事前に潮の具合を教えてもらい、ベストな時間を選んで参加しました。
日本語の説明もあり、不安はありませんでした。
当日は、少し寒い気温でしたが、温かい飲み物がとてもありがたかったです。
予想よりたくさんの亀に会えて、感動でした。
SUPも楽しかったです。

I thought the sandbar was land. However, it is still the sea in shallow waters. You can't go in with your clothes on. You can see sea turtles from a distance. Also, the snorkeling experience is not in a place where you can stand, so it might be tough if you can't swim at all. There are no other stops, but the staff was friendly, and it was an enjoyable tour.

サンドバーは陸地かと思いこんでいました。
が、浅瀬であくまで海です。洋服のままでは行けません。ウミガメは遠目にわかるくらいです。またシュノーケリング体験も足がつく場所ではないので、泳ぎがゼロですと厳しいかもしれません。他にどこに立ち寄るわけでもなく、スタッフの方もフレンドリーで楽しいツアーでした。

I've done this tour year ago And I loved sandbar and had good memories with this tour .
So I brought my friend's couple to do this one. We did snorkeling and watched turtles and a lot of fishs! After that we enjoyed fun things including paddle , tube !
Chrystal and all ladies who help with us, team members all kind and professional!
Highly recommend

The water level was slightly lower than expected, about 1 foot, and the children were having a great time. The weather was nice, and the scenery was beautiful, with the shallow areas appearing whitish. I appreciated the encouragement and support provided to help the children play happily. The water temperature was warmer than I had anticipated, which was a relief. I was also guided to a spot that looked like a heart at the end, where I was able to take some great photos.

1ftと予想より少し少ないくらいの水位で、子どもが楽しんでいました。天気もよく景色もよく、浅いところが白っぽく見えました。子どもが楽しく遊べるよう声掛けやサポートしていただけて、助かりました。
水温が思っていたより暖かくて助かりました。
ハートに見えるところを最後に案内していただけて、いい写真が撮れました。

I went on a tour with my three elementary school children, and the guides were very kind, making it a fun experience for the whole family. The kids were initially scared of snorkeling, but once they got used to it, they really enjoyed it.

小学生の子供３人連れでしたが、ガイドの方達はとても親切で家族共々楽しいツアーでした。
シュノーケルは子供達は最初怖がってましたが、慣れたら楽しんでいました。

The ocean is incredibly beautiful! I was able to see sea turtles! They also kindly teach you how to snorkel and use the boat!

There are people who speak Japanese, so you won't have to proceed without understanding the explanations, and it was also great that they provided transportation to Waikiki.

海がすごい綺麗です！ウミガメに会うことも出来ました！シュノーケリングや、ボート？のやり方も丁寧に教えてくださいます！

日本語を話してくださる方がいらっしゃるので、説明が分からないまま進むこともないし、ワイキキまで送迎があるのも有り難かったです。

I participated because I wanted to see sea turtles.
On the day of the tour, the sky was cloudy, and the sea wasn't very clear, but I was able to see sea turtles both from the boat and while snorkeling!
There were no Japanese-speaking staff on our boat, but there was a staff member who understood a little Japanese, so I felt somewhat at ease participating.
During the drive to and from the location, the driver was very friendly and engaging, so I didn't get bored!
It was a very enjoyable tour.
If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to participate again.

ウミガメに会いたくて参加しました。
当日は曇り空で、海はあまり綺麗に見えづらかったのですが、船の上からもシュノーケリング中もウミガメに会うことができました！
私たちの乗る船には、日本語スタッフの方はおられませんでしたが、日本語が少し通じるスタッフの方がおられたので、ある程度安心して参加をすることができました。
行き帰りの車では、運転手の方がとても楽しくお話をしてくださり、退屈しませんでした！
とても楽しいツアーになりました。
また機会があれば、ぜひ参加したいです。

I was picked up by bus and moved to Senba, where everyone cheerfully explained everything in Japanese, from the precautions for boarding the boat to the overall flow. I had an incredibly fun time, got to see turtles, and it became the best memory!!! This time I came for my honeymoon, but I would like to use this service again when our family grows!!

バスで迎えにきてもらい、船場まで移動し、船乗る時の注意点から、全体の流れまで日本語で皆んな明るく説明してくれ、めちゃくちゃ楽しく過ごせて、カメも見れて、最高の思い出になりました！！！
今回はハネムーンできましたが、今度は家族が増えた際に、また利用させてもらいたいです！！

This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.

Loved everything about it!
Crew is super chill and personable. Burgers were good - came with chips and a drink.
We had plenty of time to explore the sand bar and snorkel. Crew was comforting, the whole experience was super chill.

The sea is beautiful! During snorkeling, the guide constantly informed us about the locations of sea turtles, allowing us to see them clearly, which was moving! They also introduced activities like stand-up paddleboarding, making it accessible even for beginners! I had a great time and would love to participate again!

とにかく海がきれい！シュノーケリングは添乗員さんの案内のもと、ウミガメのいる場所とかも常に教えてくれるので、しっかり見ることができ、感動しました！サップ？みたいなアクティビティも教えてくれたりするので、初心者でもできました！楽しい時間を過ごせたので、また参加したいと思いました！

I have always wanted to meet a sea turtle, so I signed up.
I arrived at the sandbar without any seasickness and was able to enjoy SUP and snorkeling!
Thank you very much!

ずっとウミガメに会いたくて申し込みました。
特に船酔いもなくサンドバーに到着し、
SUPやシュノーケルを楽しむことができました！
ありがとうございました！

I really got to see sea turtles in Hawaii! The staff were very friendly and provided guidance in Japanese with great care!

本当にハワイでウミガメに会えました！
スタッフの皆さんもとってもフレンドリーで日本語での案内も丁寧にしてくれました！

This was my second time participating. I felt reassured because there were staff members who could communicate in Japanese. I was worried about food and hydration since lunch wasn't provided, but there were light snacks like sweets and warm cocoa available, so I didn't feel particularly hungry even though it took until the afternoon.

There were many free rental options available, and even with the tide coming in, I was able to have a lot of fun with the inflatable rings and kayaks. For snorkeling, there is a rental set available. If you're concerned about hygiene, I think it's a good idea to bring your own gear.

Even for those who are not confident swimmers, the staff had inflatable rings that you could hold onto while swimming, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.

It can be cold on the water and on the bus ride back, so I recommend definitely bringing a long-sleeved rash guard and a change of clothes. Also, if you have an underwater camera, you can capture memories of turtles while snorkeling, so bringing one would be great for preserving your travel memories.

I had an absolutely amazing time. I'm very satisfied!!

2回目の参加。
日本語対応のスタッフさんもいたため安心して参加することが出来ました。
昼食等は着いてなかったので、水分や食事が心配でしたが、お菓子などの軽食や暖かいココア等が準備されていたため、昼過ぎまでかかりますが特に空腹等は気にならなかったです。
無料で借りれるオプションがたくさんあったたも、潮が満ちていても浮き輪やカヤック等でたくさん遊べました。
シュノーケルでは、貸出のセットがあります。感染面が気になる方は各自用意するといいと思います。
泳ぎが苦手な方でもスタッフさんが浮き輪をもっていてそれに掴む方で泳ぐことも出来るので安心して参加できると思いました。

海の上や帰りのバスは寒いので長袖のラッシュガードや着替えは必ず持っていった方がいいと思います。また、水中カメラ等あるとシュノーケルの際に亀などもとれるためある方はもってくると旅の思い出を写真に残すことができると思います。
最高に楽しかったです。大満足です！！

We had such a great time! The captain and his helpers are so friendly they truly make you feel like you're part of their family, great boat with great food would recommend 10/10.

Excellent crew. Trained, attentive, patient with all participants. Useful tips and talented cook.
My super -day 11/21/2022

The week before was said to be cold, but the day I participated had great weather, perfect for activities! The emerald green clarity of the sea was incredible, and depending on the day, the tide was different, so the sandbar was not knee-deep but waist-deep. However, the calm sea allowed for marine activities, and during snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see many fish and a sea turtle near the coral reef, which was amazing. The participants were from various countries, and although the explanations were in English, Jamie, a half-Japanese sister, was fluent in Japanese and helped by providing explanations in Japanese. The half-day tour was so much fun and went by in a flash! I definitely want to participate in this tour again! There were free snacks provided, including drinks, snacks, and fruit. The hotel pick-up was also on time.

前の週は寒かったそうですが、自分の参加したい日は天候が良くて、絶好のアクティビティ日和でした！海のエメラルドグリーンの透明度が半端なくて、その日によって潮の満ち潮が違うので、サンドバーはひざ丈ではなく、腰の高さはありました。でも静かな海と、マリンアクティビティができて、シュノーケリングでは、珊瑚礁近くに沢山の魚と、海ガメをラッキーにもみることが出来て、最高でした。参加者は色んな国の人達で、英語の説明ですが、ハーフのお姉さんジェイミーが、日本語がペラペラなので、説明も日本語でしてくれて助かりました。とても楽しく半日のツアーがあっという間でした！また是非参加してみたいツアーです！！軽食が無料で付いていてドリンクと、スナックと果物と食べられました。ホテル送迎も時間通りでした。

Great tour! My husband and I really enjoyed it. He doesn’t typically get i to the water from any boat but he did at the sandbar. I loved the snorkel part for myself. The food was great and good selection of alcoholic drink options. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!!!

I participated in a tour with Captain Bruce. Half of the participants were Japanese, and there were both a Japanese guide and an English guide, providing thorough explanations without any difficulties. Although it was low tide and the water level was about waist-deep, unfortunately, we couldn't see the beach. However, the weather was nice, and during the final snorkeling session, we encountered a honu! It was a very satisfying tour.

キャプテンブルースさんのツアーに参加しました。
半分は日本の方々で、日本語ガイドさんと英語のガイドさんがおり特に不自由なく、丁寧な説明がありました。
干潮の時間帯ではありましたが、腰くらいの水位で残念ながら砂浜は見れませんでしたが、天気も良く、最後のシュノーケリングではホヌと遭遇!
とても満足できるツアーでした。

It became a great memory! However, the sandbar was mostly underwater, so that was a bit disappointing since it was just nature.

いい思い出になりました！
ただサンドバーがほとんど海だったので
そこだけが自然相手なので仕方ないですが
残念でした(꒦ິ⌑꒦ີ)

A fabulous experience from beginning to end! Our Captain Crystal was knowledgeable, fun, professional and made the excursion one of our biggest highlights of our vacation! Thank you Crystal!!!

It was a full moon and low tide, which should have been about 1 ft, but when I got there, the water level was up to an adult's waist. It turns out that achieving a perfect low tide with white sand is quite miraculous.

The ocean in Hawaii in November was colder than I expected, and Japanese tourists quickly got back on the boat. It seemed like Westerners stayed in the water a bit longer since they tend to have lower body temperatures.

When we arrived, it was gloomy due to the rain, but about 20 minutes after reaching the heavenly sea, the sun came out. You really can't know what Hawaii's ocean is like until you experience it.

There is a staff member who speaks Japanese, so it's okay if you don't understand English. As others have mentioned, on the way back, they stop by the famous malasada food truck "Leonard's." While there's a long line at the store on the Waikiki side, you don't have to wait here, which is great!

満月で干潮、１ｆｔのはずだったけれど、現地に行ってみたら大人の腰の高さの水位。
やはり、白砂の上がる完璧な干潮は、かなり奇跡に近いことが分かる。
11月のハワイの海は思ったより寒く、日本人観光客は早々にボートに上がってきました。欧米人は体温が低いので、わりと長く海に入っていたように思います。
現地に着いた時は、雨でどよーんとしていたが、天国の海に着いて20分程したら晴れ間が。ハワイの海は行ってみたいと分からないものです。
クルースタッフには、日本語を話すお姉さんがいるので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫。他の人も書いていましたが、帰りにマラサダの名店「レナーズ」のフードトラックに寄ってくれます。ワイキキ側の店舗では買うのに行列ですが、ここは並ばなくて良いので◎。

I was waiting near the lobby of the designated hotel for the morning gathering, but it seems I was at the wrong location (it was actually next to the lobby, in the parking space on Kaiulani Avenue), so I kept everyone waiting a bit.

On the way to Sandbar, the driver introduced various shops visible from the car window. It seems that malasadas were recommended, and we were able to stop by Leonard's food truck on the way back to purchase some.

Upon arrival, a representative from Captain Bruce's provided a thorough explanation, and there was someone who spoke Japanese as well.

We moved to the boat, and while we were required to take off our shoes, we were allowed to keep our reef shoes on.

The boat had snacks, juice, and warm drinks available, and everyone was free to eat and drink as they pleased.

Everyone started snorkeling at the same time. Since there were many people, those at the front were kicked or bumped into. There is a designated swimming area, but I recommend keeping a good distance from others within that area. The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles several times!

After swimming for a while, I accidentally swallowed a lot of seawater and started to feel a bit unwell. A woman from Captain Bruce's came over to check on me, and I was able to rest on a float, which was a great help. When we returned to the boat, it was really cold. I think it would be good to have a jacket that can get wet and a few larger towels. There are warm drinks available, but you'll want to go to the restroom... By the way, there is one shared restroom on the boat. I didn't use it myself (laughs).

After that, I lightly experienced stand-up paddleboarding, but towards the end, it was so cold that I was huddled on the boat (laughs).

The sea was very beautiful, and snorkeling was fun. The only disappointment was that we couldn't walk on the beach due to high tide.

朝集合の際、指定ホテルのロビー近くで待っていましたが、場所が違ったようで(実際はロビー横、カイウラニアベニューの駐車スペース)少し待たせてしまいました。
サンドバーへ向かう途中、運転手の方が車窓から見える色んなお店を紹介してくれました。マラサダがオススメのようで帰りにレナーズのワゴン車(キッチンカー？)に寄ってくれて購入できました。

到着するとキャプテンブルースの方が一通りの説明をしてくれて、日本語を話せる方もいました。
船に移動し、靴は脱ぐことになっていましたがリーフシューズは履いたままでOKでした。

船にはお菓子やジュース、温かい飲み物が置いてあり、みんな自由に食べたり飲んだりしていました。

シュノーケルから全員スタート。
一斉にスタートしたので人数が多く、始めの方は前の人に蹴られたりひました。泳げるエリアが決まっていますが、その中でもうまく距離を取ることをおすすめします。笑
海がとても綺麗で何度かウミガメを見ることもできました！
しばらく泳いだ後、たくさん海水を飲んでしまい少し気分が悪くなってしまったときに、キャプテンブルースの女性が声をかけてくれ、浮き輪に乗せてもらい休憩することごでき助かりました。
その後船に戻るととにかく寒かったです。持ち物にある濡れてもいい上着、あと大き目のタオルは何枚かあると良いと思いました。温かい飲み物もありますがトイレに行きたくなってしまうので…。
ちなみに船には共有トイレが1つあります。自分は使用しませんでした(笑

その後軽くサップも体験しましたが、最後の方は寒くてずっと船でうずくまっていました(笑)

海はとても綺麗でした。シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
残念だったのは満潮で砂浜を歩けなかったことくらいです。

Staff was awesome. Boat was comfortabe and accommodating. There were eight of us and we had a great time. Plenty of snacks and food.

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.

The staff was humorous and made the trip enjoyable. During snorkeling, they let us know when there were turtles, and we encountered several! During the free time afterward, we were able to rent boards and floats, allowing everyone to freely enjoy the beautiful sea!

ユーモアのあるスタッフが対応してくれて移動も楽しかったです。
シュノーケルでは亀がいたら教えてくれて何匹も遭遇できました！
その後の自由時間ではボードを借りたり浮き輪を借りたりで各々自由に綺麗な海を満喫できました！
