I was told by a friend that I should go to Sandbar, so I found it on Veltra and made a reservation. Choosing this was the right decision! The scenery I saw online unfolded right in front of me, and I was extremely excited! They also offer rentals for scuba diving and stand-up paddleboarding, which made it a lot of fun. The staff were all very attentive, and I think it's a highly satisfying tour!

友人にサンドバーは行ったほうがいい！と言われたのでベルトラで見つけてこちらを予約しました。こちらにして正解でした！ネットでみる景色が目の前に広がって大興奮でした！スキューバやスタンドアップパドルの貸出もありかなり楽しめます。スタッフさんもとても気の利く方ばかりでとても満足できるツアーだと思います！

● Tour Feedback
The guide, despite being young, had over 10 years of experience, which was reassuring.
Unfortunately, both the air and water temperatures were not high, so it was a bit cold; some people might find it good to have a wetsuit.
When walking towards the sandbar, there are some corals, so having reef shoes would be better, but it's manageable without them.
It was great that we could practice before starting snorkeling and make decisions afterward (snorkeling or playing around the boat).
I played around the boat with my wife (^ - ^;
We were able to see sea turtles up close!!
There were turtles that were used to people, coming close to us and surfacing right in front of us to breathe, showing a lot of personality!
Since the low tide time is already set, I recommend checking in advance if you really want to see the sandbar.
The tides are a natural occurrence...
It would be good to have an underwater camera; rentals are available, but I think it was around 6,000 yen.
We also had a hearty lunch!

●ツアーの感想
ガイドさんが若いながらも歴10年以上とベテランで安心でした。
残念ながら気温、水温共に高くなく、寒かったので、ある人はウェットスーツがあると良いかも。
サンドバーに向かって歩くときに若干、珊瑚があるのでリーフシューズはあるとより良いかも。
無くても平気ですが…
シュノーケルを始める前に事前に練習と、それを経ての意思決定(シュノーケリング、船の周りで遊ぶ)が出来たので良かったです。
私は妻と共に船の周りで遊びました(^-^;
海亀が本当に間近で見れました！！
人に慣れた亀がおり、自ら近寄って来てくれて、目の前で海面から顔出し呼吸するなどサービス精神旺盛でした♪
干潮の時間は既に決まっているので、どうしてもサンドバー観たい方は事前にチェックをおすすめします。
潮の干満は自然の事なので…
水中で撮れるカメラがあると良いですね、レンタルも出来ますが、6,000円くらいだった気がします。
ランチもガッツリ食べれましたよ～

I participated with my 89-year-old mother. She was hesitant about walking in the sea because of the boat's rocking, but we were very satisfied with our experience! We even got to use an old swimsuit that we had never worn before and made it to the shallow waters. It was a bit chilly, but the wetsuit we borrowed kept us warm.

Large turtles and fish came close to the boat, and it felt like we were in a dragon palace! On top of that, we really appreciated the thoughtful addition of the boat cruise. Thank you so much!

89歳の母を連れての参加でした。船が揺れるのでは、海の中で歩くのはとか、躊躇していましたが参加して大満足！一度も着た事のない昔の水着も活躍、浅瀬まで行けました。肌寒いくらいでしたが、貸していただいた初ウエットスーツで大丈夫でした。
大きな亀や魚が船の近くに来て、竜宮城みたいと！オマケにボートクルーズまで気を使って頂き、本当に有難うございました。

The place I wanted to visit the most in Hawaii this time!! Since the selected locations were only in the Waikiki area, I stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel and walked nearby ^ - ^ I was told it would be called in both Japanese and English, but it was all in English ^ - ^
The local guide was Japanese and very cheerful and wonderful (^^) I was able to see honu (sea turtles) and it was amazing!! I also saw manta rays!!
When getting off the boat to the sandbar, it was a bit deep (about waist-deep for me at 160 cm), which surprised me, but as you go towards the center, it becomes about calf-deep! If you ask the crew or captain for photos, they take great pictures for you! They can even take you on board w
The weather was nice and it was very beautiful!!

今回のハワイでは一番行きたかったところ！！ピックされる場所が、ワイキキエリアだけだったため、アラモアナ ホテルに宿泊した私は近くまで歩きました^ - ^日本語と英語で呼ばれるってことだったけど、全部英語でした^ - ^
現地のガイドの方は日本人の方で、すごく明るくて素敵な方でした(^^)ホヌも見ることができて最高！！マンタも見れました！！
船からサンドバーに降りる時、少し深くて（160センチの私で腰くらい）びっくりしたけど、中心に行くと、ふくらはぎくらいの深さになります！クルーやキャプテンに写真を頼むと、いい感じに写真撮ってくれます！のせられますw
お天気も良くとっても綺麗でした！！

Unfortunately, it started cloudy and then it rained, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset... Since I arrived on the same day, I didn't eat much during the day, which made me regret having just a light snack. However, I drank a lot and managed to enjoy myself to some extent.

残念ながら曇りから始まり、雨が降ってしまったのでサンセットは見れず残念な結果に…
到着日に行ったので昼間にあまり食事をしないで行ってしまったので、軽食にしてしまったことが悔やまれました。でも、たくさん飲んでそれなりに楽しめました

The sea turtle watching was a lot of fun, with the staff providing great support! I was lucky to see a manta ray, which only appears occasionally! They also informed us about what we could and couldn't do at the sandbar, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without any danger. There were light snacks and drinks provided, making it a fulfilling tour for the price.

ウミガメウォッチングではスタッフさんがしっかりフォローしてくださりとても楽しい時間でした！
たまにしか現れないマンタにも会えてラッキーでした！
サンドバーでもやっていいことダメなことを教えて下さり、危険もなく楽しみました。
軽食やドリンクも用意されてて価格の割には充実したツアーでした。

Hmm... The pre-release buzz was too good, so my expectations might have been raised. It felt very average. The tour guide was a bit intimidating.

うーん。。。前評判が良すぎで期待値が上がってたかも。
とても普通な感じでした。
ツアーガイドの方がちょっと威圧的でした。

Well organised and friendly tour - plenty of time at both the sandbar and the snorkel location. Lunch was great, snorkel equipment provided, highly recommend doing this activity.

I checked the low tide times and made a morning reservation, so the beach was perfectly exposed, and I had a wonderful experience.

During snorkeling, I saw about three sea turtles! They were mostly hiding behind the coral, but when I was playing near the boat, a turtle swam right up to me! It was so close that I was surprised.

The guide was very kind and made an effort to ensure everyone had a good time.

It was a bit chilly before we set off because it was raining. I was really freezing during snorkeling...

Also, I was able to borrow a SUP during my free time, and that was really fun!

干潮時間を調べて午前の予約をしたので
バッチリ砂浜が出てきていてとてもいい経験ができました。

そしてシュノーケル中海亀も3匹ほどいました！！
サンゴに隠れてお尻ばっかり見ていたのですが
船の近くで遊んでいると、
スイスイ近くまで泳いでくる海亀にも出会えました！
あまりにも近すぎてびっくり。

ガイドさんもとても親切な方でみんなが楽しめるように工夫してくださってたと思います^ ^

出発前は雨が降っていたので
少し寒かったです。
シュノーケル中は本当に凍えました、、

あと、自由な時間にSUPを貸してもらえて
これが本当に楽しかったです！

Being in the middle of the beautiful sea feels amazing! Swimming with sea turtles and fish has become the best memory! Thank you very much.

綺麗な海の真ん中にいる気分は、最高です。！
海亀や魚達と一緒に泳げたのは、最高の思い出になりました！ありがとうございました。

We were lucky to enjoy the sandbar at low tide (^ - ^). The weather was initially predicted to be rainy, but we were able to see some sunshine and fully enjoy the beautiful sea. The snorkeling was reassuring with thorough explanations, and the barbecue on the boat was delicious. It was great that a turtle came to visit us too! ☆

ちょうど運良く干潮でサンドバー楽しめました(^-^)
天気も始めは雨と言われていましたが晴れ間も見られてとてもきれいな海を満喫できました。
シュノーケリングも丁寧な説明で安心して参加できました。船上バーベキューも美味しかったです。
亀も来てくれて、良かったです☆

The tour was exciting, and the progress was smooth, making it enjoyable without getting bored! It was a bit cloudy due to the volcanic eruption, but I was satisfied. However, the hamburger for lunch was cold, so I would have preferred to eat it while it was warm.

ツアーの盛り上げ方、進行がスムーズで飽きずに楽しめました！噴火の影響で少し曇ってましたが、満足できました。
ただ、お昼のハンバーガーは冷めていたので
あったかいうちに食べたかったです

It was a cloudy day, but the food was delicious, and I got to encounter sandbars and sea turtles. I was able to take some wonderful photos! I think it's a good idea to check the tide times for that day before going!

雲の多い天気でしたが
ご飯は美味しいかったし
サンドバーやウミガメにも出逢えて
素敵な写真が撮れました！
その日の
潮の時間をしっかり調べて行くのが良いと思います！

I participated with my wife and our son who just turned four. My wife was worried because there were reviews mentioning that the boat sways, and she tends to get seasick, but we had no problems and enjoyed ourselves completely. However, I think it really depends on the weather and wave conditions, so it might be good to plan while checking the weather forecast. The weather was nice, so we were able to fully enjoy the sunset. There were also some older participants who approached us and spoke to us in simple English, which made for very good memories.

妻と4歳になったばかりの息子と参加。
揺れるという口コミがあり、船酔いしやすい妻は心配していましたが、私達は全く問題なく楽しめました。ただしやはり天候や波の状況によると思うので、天気予報を見ながら計画されるのが良いかと思います。
天気も良かったのでサンセットも十分に満喫できました。年配の参加者も散見され、簡単な英語で話しかけて頂けたりととても良い思い出となりました。

You can see the sea turtles clearly. When you arrive at the sandbar, the sea turtles come close and stay with you the whole time. You can see the sea turtles up close. The BBQ lunch is also very delicious. I highly recommend it.

うみがめがしっかり見えます。サンドバーに到着すると、うみがめがよってきて、滞在している間ずっといてくれます。まじかでウミガメを見れますよ。BBQランチもとてもおいしいです。おすすめです。

It was beautifully clear, and the sea was very transparent, with the shallowest area being about calf-deep. The staff member was Japanese and kindly explained the precautions. There was snorkeling equipment available, but I didn't use it because the water was cold. However, I was able to enjoy paddleboarding and other equipment that was available for rent. I was surprised when a friendly turtle came very close to the boat.

きれいに晴れて、海がとても透き通っており、1番浅いところでふくらはぎほど水位がありました。
スタッフさんが日本の方で、親切に注意事項を説明してくれました。
シュノーケルもありましたが、水が冷たくてやりませんでしたが、パドルボートなどの遊具を貸し出して貰えたので楽しむことができました。
仲良しだというカメが船のすぐ近くまで寄ってきてくれたのには驚きました。

Continuing from last year!
This year too! I’ve definitely decided to go!
I was so happy to meet Jamie and I also got to see Kame-chan!!

It was really fun!
I’ll go again!

The food is incredibly delicious!

去年に引き続き！
今年も！絶対行くと決めてー
ジェイミーに出会えて嬉しいかったし
亀ちゃんにも！会えた！！

ほんまに楽しかったー！
また
行きます！

ご飯がめちゃくちゃ上手い！

I was a bit disappointed because the weather was bad.
They sell items like motion sickness pills and shoes if needed.
There is an explanation when purchasing, but it can come off as trying to make you buy something.
I was told that I could download photos later, but only one is free.
The rest will incur a fee.
I thought that with the explanation on board, I could download all my favorite photos for free.
I gave the tip to the captain when we disembarked.
I don't want to carry cash, so I would prefer a price that includes the tip.
I would like the tip requirement (percentage of the tour cost) to be clearly stated in the tour details.

天気が悪かったので少しがっかりでした。
酔い止めとかシューズとか必要な場合は販売してもらえます。
販売に際して説明があるのですが買わそうとしている様にも取れます。
写真を後日ダウンロードできるとの事でしたが、
無料なのは1枚だけです。
あとは料金が発生します。
船上での説明の仕方だと好きな写真を全部無料でダウンロード
できると思ってました。
チップは船を降りる際にキャプテンに渡しました。
現金は持っていきたくないのでチップ込み料金にしてほしい。
チップ必要（ツアー代何％）とツアー詳細にわかりやすく明記してほしい。

I took my 3-year-old daughter on our first trip to Hawaii. With a small child, there are limits to what you can do, so I pondered various activities in Hawaii, but this tour was completely suitable for little kids (3 years old) and was incredibly enjoyable!

I checked the tide times for Kaneohe in advance and chose a tour date during the lowest water level of our stay in Hawaii. However, whether the weather would be good was up to luck... We were really fortunate, as it was sunny from the morning, and the water level was just about knee-high, so we had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly, cheerful, and made the experience fun, and they were very kind to my daughter as well. She looked like she was having a great time, and I was so happy to see that. The buffet on the boat was delicious too!

We also got to see sea turtles, and I was surprised at how close they came to us. While the weather can be a matter of luck, I highly recommend that those who will participate check the tide times in advance before signing up!

３歳の娘を連れて、初めてのハワイ。
小さな子供連れだと出来ることも限られていますので、ハワイでやることを色々と悩みましたが、このツアーは小さな子供（３歳）でも全然ＯＫで、とっても楽しめる内容でした！

事前にカネオヘの満潮と干潮を調べて、ハワイ滞在中で最も水位が低い時間帯のツアーの日程を選びました。
でも、天候が良いかどうかは運次第…。
私達は本当に運が良く、朝から晴れて、水位もくるぶしくらいの高さだったので、本当に楽しめました。
スタッフさんたちもとても気さくで明るく楽しく盛り上げて下さり、娘にもとても優しくしてくれました。
娘も本当に楽しそうにしていて、その姿を見られて嬉しかったです。
ボートでのビュッフェも美味しかったですよ♪

ウミガメにも会うことが出来、しかもとっても近くまで来てくれて驚きました。
天候については運の部分もありますが、これから参加される方にはぜひ満潮と干潮の時間を事前に調べてから申し込むことをオススメします♪

The scenery was very beautiful, and the guide was very helpful, but the snorkeling was quite disappointing. I was aware that the waters in Hawaii are not very clear, but it felt like a complete beginner course. There weren't even fins provided.

景色はとても綺麗だし、ガイドさんもとてもよくしてくれましたが、シュノーケリングだけがとても残念でした。
ハワイの海が綺麗でないことは承知でしたが、
超初心者コースといった感じ。
フィンすらありませんでした。

Amazing perfect couldn't of been better. No volleyball tho :(

Unfortunately, due to the weather, the temperature was lower than expected, and it felt a bit cold on the boat with the wind. A beach towel is a must; I regretted bringing a smaller towel (laughs). The tour staff kept us warm by organizing beach volleyball and encouraging us with their cheers. The hamburgers eaten on the boat were exceptional! I wonder if the title "BBQ" is because they grill the patties and such? Since we had free time in the afternoon, I was able to make the most of the day!

あいにくのお天気のため、気温が予想より低く、船上は風もあり少し寒く感じました。
ビーチタオル必須ですね、小さめのタオルだったのが後悔（笑）
ツアースタッフの皆さんは、暖まれるようにビーチバレーをしてくださったり
声かけで盛り上げてくださいました。
船上で食べるハンバーガーは格別！
タイトルがBBQとなってるのは、パテなどを焼くからなんでしょうかね？
午後からフリーになるので、とても１日を有効に使えました！

The tour was better than we had anticipated. We went with a 20 month old toddler, sea was calm.
The bus that picked us from the hotel was clean and the bus ride was relaxing.
The atmosphere was friendly, tour guides were fun and professional. Food was excellent, they catered for my spouse who has special dietary needs.
Overall the experience was amazing and will definitely go back to Sandbar with Captain Bob's sandbar adventure

I participated on the first day of my arrival in Hawaii, and the weather was nice and pleasant. The kids were also happy, so I'm glad I joined.

ハワイ到着初日に参加しましたが、天気もよく気持ちよかった。
子供たちも喜んでいたので、参加してよかったです。

I had been interested for a while, but this time I decided to participate for the first time. To prepare, I researched the dates and times when the sandbar would be fully exposed and booked a morning tour. The weather was a bit cloudy, but as scheduled, the sandbar was completely revealed and it was breathtaking. After that, I enjoyed snorkeling and water sports. The food was also very delicious, and the guide's stories were very entertaining. I definitely want to participate again next time.

以前から興味はあったのですが、今回初めて参加することにしました。
そのためにサンドバーが、完全に表れる日にちと時間を調べて、午前中のツアーを予約して参加しました。天気は少し曇り気味でしたが、予定通りに
サンドバーは完全に水が引いていて圧巻でした。後はシュノーケリングやマリンスポーツを楽しみました。食事も大変おいしく、ガイドさんの話もとても面白かったです。次回もぜひ参加したいと思います。

Before going to Hawaii, I was concerned about the weather, but it didn't rain and was cloudy instead. It was low tide, and the sandbar appeared beautifully, which was breathtaking. My friend, who was excited to see the honu (sea turtles), was thrilled to spot them popping their heads out of the water and surfacing for air while snorkeling among the corals. It was really great to see that. The crew on the boat was very friendly and provided explanations in Japanese, making me want to go again.

The food was delicious. We walked through the water to reach the sandbar, but the sandbar itself has corals, so it can be painful to walk on it barefoot. I recommend bringing marine shoes if you have them. You can buy them locally, but we went barefoot. The staff were also walking around barefoot. While the tide was coming in, the boat rocked a bit, so if you're prone to motion sickness, I think taking motion sickness medication would be wise. I usually don't get seasick, and I felt I didn't need any medication. I highly recommend the sandbar.

ハワイ行く前に予約して天候が気になりましたが、雨は降らず曇りでした。
ちょうど引き潮の時でサンドバーが綺麗に出現していて感動でした。一緒に行った友達もホヌを見るのが楽しみで、サンドバーに向かっている途中でも海面から頭を出すところやシュノーケリングでサンゴに隠れている所とか呼吸のため海面に上っていく姿見れてすごく良かったです。船の乗組員も日本語で説明してくれたり超フレンドリーな方ばかりでまた行きたいと思うほどです。
食事も美味しかったです。サンドバーまでは海の中を歩いて行きましたが、サンドバー自体がサンゴのため海面から出ると裸足だと痛いです、マリンシューズ持ってる方は持って行った方がいいかと思います。持っていなくても現地で買えますが私たちは裸足で行きました。スタッフさんも裸足でスタスタ歩いていました。海が満ちてきている途中は船が揺れて、車酔いされる方は酔い止めは必要かと思います。私は普段酔わないですが酔い止めはいらなかった感じでした。サンドバーお薦めです。

This year, Oahu in Hawaii was unusually cold due to abnormal weather, making it difficult to enjoy ocean activities. It's a shame! Although it was very cold, I thoroughly enjoyed snorkeling in the deep sea near the coral reefs and watching the fish. If the weather had been better, it would have been perfect! However, the BBQ hamburgers on the boat were very delicious, and my grandchildren said the same. Next time, I want to experience it on the Big Island.

たまたま、今年のハワイオアフ島は異常気象で寒くて精一杯 海遊びが楽しめない状況でした。残念‼ただ大変寒かったですが、サンゴ礁付近の深い海に行ってのシュノ-ケルは魚ウォチングを十分楽しめました。天気さえ良かったら最高だったのに･･･‼でも船上ＢＢＱハンバ-ガはとっても美味しかった、孫たちも言ってたよ。今度はハワイ島で体験したいと思います。

It was a cold day with bad weather, but I was able to see sea turtles, and I was satisfied with the many fish I saw while snorkeling. However, since the sandbar depends on the tide timing, it's better to focus mainly on snorkeling! The staff was good too.

天候が悪く、寒い一日でしたが、海ガメも見れたし、シュノーケリングでは魚が沢山見れて満足です。ただ、サンドバーは潮位のタイミングもあるので、シュノーケリングメインで考えた方がいいでしょう！スタッフもgood

Playing volleyball in the ocean was so much fun!! Even though we couldn't communicate, we enjoyed ourselves. Also, swimming with the turtles was a great experience.

海の中でやったバレーが楽しすぎた！！言葉通じなくても楽しめました。 あと、亀と泳げた感じも良かったです。

It was cloudy on the day, but the staff member, 19-year-old Joan, was very friendly and took great care of my 12-year-old child, making it a lot of fun. I participated in the afternoon plan, and both the staff and the food were excellent.

当日曇りでしたが、スタッフのジョアン１９歳がとても人懐こくて１２歳の子供の相手をしてくれてとても楽しめました。
　午後のプランで参加しましたが、スタッフも食事も最高でした。
