The weather wasn't very good, the water was cold, and due to the tides, the sandy beach that you see in pictures was completely invisible. However, I was able to have an experience that I normally wouldn't get to have. It was a strange feeling to be standing in the middle of the ocean.
On the way to the sandbar, I was thrilled to see sea turtles and manta rays.
Also, the breakfast sandwich was simple but very delicious.
Even if you don't go snorkeling, you can enjoy playing in the water near the boat without getting soaked, so you can have fun even if you're not confident in your swimming skills.
あまり天気が良くなく、水も冷たく、干満の関係で写真で見るような砂浜もまったく見えない状態でしたが、普段、できないような体験ができました。海の真ん中に立っている不思議な感覚です。
サンドバーに着くまでには、ウミガメやマンタが見られ、感激でした。
また、朝食のサンドウィッチもシンプルですが、とてもおいしかったです。
シュノーケリングをしなくても、船の近くでずぶぬれにならずに水遊びができるので、泳ぎに自信がなくても楽しめます。

I checked the tide levels when I signed up, so I knew that the sandbar would have water at least up to my knees on certain days, but the snorkeling experience was terrible.
We departed with over 60 people on a large bus, and the number increased even more at the location. With that many people, we were just taken in a line around a designated course and that was it. The snorkeling time was about 5 minutes? It felt more like a swimming lesson for kids. It would have been better not to do it at all.
The guide and crew had a good vibe and took photos and provided services, but the tour program itself was just too awful. I do not recommend it.
申し込む時点で潮位を調べてたので、サンドバーは少なくとも膝上くらいまでは水が出ある日、ということは分かってたけどシュノーケリングがひどかった。
大型バスに60名以上で出発し、現地でさらに人数が増える。その人数で、一列になって決められたコースをぐるっと回らされて終わり。シュノーケリング時間は5分くらい?子どもの水泳訓練か何かですか?という感じ。これならやらない方がマシだった。
ガイドさんやクルーのノリは良いし、写真を撮ったりサービスしてくれるけどツアープログラム自体がひどすぎる。お勧めしません。

When we went on the cruise for our 25th anniversary, the weather was clear and we felt very welcomed by the friendly crew. We also got offered a free drink at the bar as were the other guests. My wife and I enjoyed the relaxing breeze on the tour accompanied with the warm sun. On the boat, we saw gorgeous views of Diamond Head and Waikiki and also took a lot of pictures. While on the boat, we didn't feel any bumps and the trip was very smooth. When we go to Hawaii again, we'll definitely go on this cruise. I highly recommend this cruise for anybody travelling with friends, family, or as a couple.

The trip was amazing. We went the first week of September so there wasn't much turtles or whales. It wasn't the season yet. It was still extremely fun and enjoyable. I went with my grandma and her or I did not get seasick! I recommend this for anyone who wants to relax at sea with a bit of adventure! Really great for elders and little kids. They have a net you can sit on. They also have a bar you can purchase alcoholic beverages or sodas! You can also buy a sippy cup so you won't spill your drink! Highly recommend and there's a coupon on Groupon! Take everyone!!! I will be coming back with more family members! Definitely coming back in December for the whales!

I participated in the morning session. I chose a date that would allow me to go to the sandbar around low tide, but the water level was about knee-deep. Moreover, it was the day before a hurricane approached, so the weather wasn't great, but the sea turtles seemed accustomed to people and came to play near the anchored boats, swimming close enough that it felt like they might bump into us. I didn't have high expectations for the food since it was just light snacks, but it was delicious. The snorkeling was enjoyable and at a manageable distance. I don't think it's necessary to buy and bring reef shoes. It's better to assume there are no changing rooms. I also think it's considerate that you can download one group photo for free.
午前の部に参加しました。なるべくサンドバーに行く時間が干潮になるような日付を選びましたが、潮位は膝下ぐらいでした。しかもハリケーン接近の前日でだったのでお天気はいまいちでしたが海亀さんは人に慣れているのか停泊中のボート付近に遊びに来てくれて向こうからぶつかってきそうな所で泳いでくれました。食事も軽食とあったので期待はしていませんでしたが美味しかったです。シュノーケルも無理ない距離で楽しく出来ました。リーフシューズは買って持っていくまでもないと思います。更衣室はないと思った方が良いです。集合写真を1枚だけ無料ダウンロード出来るのも良心的だと思います。

I went to Hawaii to celebrate my mother's 77th birthday. About ten years ago, when we came together, my mother also went into the ocean, but I was wondering if she would this time. To my delight, the beautiful sea encouraged her to join in, and she was very happy. She says she wants to go again while she's still healthy. The guide was also kind and had interesting stories to share.

I would highly recommend this boat trip. It was fun and the drinks were surprisingly good. Although it rained, we still had a great time. The weather was warm enough to stay outside on the netting and enjoy the full sensation of sailing. The crew were very nice and attentive to everyone. There were no cheesy banter that I have come to associate with Hawaiian tours of any sort. The catamaran was large, so everyone had a lot of room to move around. It was clean and the head (restroom) was well maintained. Even though it stormed that day, the ride was incredibly smooth and no one got sick. The check in booth was at the entry to the harbor and the line went fast and effortlessly. The only caveat I have for others wishing to do this tour is that you have to have a hard copy ticket or be able to bring it up on your phone. Even though we booked online and they had our names, the lady in the booth needed me to pull the confirmation up on my phone . Unfortunately, this caused us to delay the line , which we hate to do.

I wanted to see the fireworks from the seaside on Friday, so I participated. The ship was fully booked, and the buffet guests and lobster dinner guests were on the same floor. Buffet guests could quickly grab their food and leave, but those having the lobster dinner had to wait for their meals to be served, which took quite a bit of time.
The ship isn't that large, so even without a window seat, there was plenty of opportunity to see the outside scenery, which was nice. I was told that the window seats were fully booked, so I couldn't request one, but I was lucky enough to have a window seat.
When asked if I would go again, I think I would prefer to go to a restaurant at the Hilton to watch the fireworks instead. I think once is enough for me.
海側から金曜日の花火が見たいと思い、参加しました。船内は満席で、ビュッフェの人とロブスターディナーの人が同じフロアでした。
ビュッフェの人は早く取って、食べて出ていけるのですが、ロブスターディナーの人は料理が運ばれてくるのを待つしかなく・・・結構、時間がかかります。
船はそれほど大きくないので、無理して窓側指定しなくても十分、外の景色が見えて、良い感じでした。うちは窓側が満席ですと言われて指定できなかったんですが、運良く窓側の席でした。
次また行くかと言われると、ヒルトンのレストランに行って、花火を見る方がいいかなと思っています。

We experienced schools of fish and saw a turtle up close in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. The hamburgers for lunch were delicious, and I want to thank the man who entertained us on the bus and Yuki, who was very attentive on the boat. My wife and daughter were also very satisfied!

We had a great time and it's definitely worthwhile to check out the Sandbar. The water is just beautiful and great snorkelling too. Lunch was also very decent. We had hamburger and pineapples and tortilla chips on the side. The only thing that bothered us was that the Captain kept on assuming we are Japanese and that we don't speak English (given that there are a lot of Japanese tourists on the boat). He repeatedly tried to communicate with us in very broken Japanese. We look Asian, but we are Canadian and we don't understand Japanese. I always reply him in English but he keeps forgetting that we speak English. Maybe he thinks we all look the same. He loved making conversations in English with Caucasian guests, called out the non-Asian names on his list of guests, and ask them where they were from, whether they were celebrating an occasion, but made no effort to talk to us the same way. The translator, think his name was Freddie, initially assumed we were Japanese too but caught on right away that we are English speakers which was great. Other staff were very nice and helpful. Overall we did have a great time and I would recommend this, only the Captain frustrated us a little.

The sandbar was deeper than I expected, which surprised me! I've heard that the beach appears only during certain times. Snorkeling was so much fun! There wasn't much explanation on how to use the snorkeling gear, so I almost felt like I was going to drown until I got the hang of it (laughs). We saw beautiful corals, fish, and sea turtles. I went with my family and husband, and we all had a great time!

The bus pickup was significantly delayed, which made me worry. Other participants in the same tour were concerned and went to make phone calls, but we missed each other, which was a bit of a downside.
Since it was windy, my family, who tends to get seasick, was a little worried, but it turned out to be no problem at all. Despite the strong winds, the water was surprisingly clear. That's what the lady said. The sea was truly beautiful. At the bar, even though the surrounding water was a deep blue, the spot we were in was only knee-deep, making it a unique experience. The lady took many perfect shots of us.
We only saw the sea turtles briefly, but it was nice to have spotted them. Then came snorkeling time. We went around the coral, but it was a place where even adults couldn't touch the bottom at all. We were given life jackets and floating bars, and off we went! My 7-year-old daughter was super excited, swimming around and shouting, "There are red fish! There are striped ones!"
I was trying to keep up while almost cramping my legs, holding onto the bar. For lunch, we had hamburgers made with freshly grilled patties topped with cheese and plenty of vegetables. It was delicious. The wind was strong, and the lettuce was flying everywhere, but that was part of the fun.
The lady kindly brought a cup of salsa sauce and chips for my daughter, who loved them. Everything was well taken care of, and we had a great time without any seasickness. For the return trip, I think it would be good to prepare to change quickly in the restroom so we wouldn't feel cold on the way back.
We had a wonderful experience. Of course, my daughter's illustrated diary was all about snorkeling.

Is this an experience unique to Japan? Or perhaps to the world? It can only be described as wonderful. I've been visiting Hawaii for years, but since I always go in winter, it was too cold for me to feel like getting in the water. However, this time it was a family trip with eight people, including my three grandchildren, so we included it at the children's request. I didn't get in the water, but the other seven came out with beaming smiles, and it was definitely worth bringing them. I bought an underwater camera just for this occasion, but I was so caught up in the fun that I didn't take a single picture. What a shame!
日本ではというか?世界でもここだけ?の経験でしょうか?もう素晴らしいの一言に尽きます。何年もハワイには通っていますが、いつも冬ばかりなので、老人には寒すぎて水に入る気がしませんでしたが、今回は孫三人を含む8人の家族旅行でしたので、子供たちの要望で組み入れました。僕は、水には入らなかったのですが、あとの7人は水から上がってきた顔が満面の笑みで、連れてきたかいがあったというものです。せっかくの水中カメラをこのために買っていったのに、遊ぶのに夢中で、一枚も撮らずじまいでした。残念!

When you come to Oahu, you can't miss the sandbar! There are many sandbar tours, but I recommend the full-day sightseeing tour with sea turtle watching and BBQ! Since you're there, I hope you fully immerse yourself in the tour for the whole day. Unless you time it perfectly with a big tide, it won't be a sandbar, but you'll still have plenty of fun. It's highly recommended! It can get a bit chilly after coming out of the water, so be sure to bring a jacket.

First, we headed to the sandbar. Unfortunately, the weather was not great on the day we visited, and it was high tide, which made it feel a bit lacking. I think the view would be amazing on a clear day when a little bit of the beach is exposed above the water.
We played beach volleyball here (the ball was surprisingly heavy) and practiced snorkeling before enjoying hamburgers for lunch.
After that, we moved to a sea turtle spot for snorkeling. We were dropped off in a massive coral area that spanned several dozen meters wide. The entire area was filled with live coral, and there were plenty of fish to see. We even encountered sea turtles! However, I think you need to be careful when chasing the turtles because it suddenly gets deep as you go further out.
While encountering the sea turtles was a highlight, the sandbar, which is another main attraction, was a bit disappointing that day, so I would rate it a 4.
まずはサンドバーへ行きます。
私たちが訪れた日は、生憎の天気で、なおかつ満ち潮だったため、イマイチな感じでした。
カラっと晴れた日に、海上に砂浜が少し出てるぐらいだと、最高の景色になると思います。
ここでビーチバレーしたり(球がやたら重い)、シュノーケリングの練習をしたりして、昼食にハンバーガーを頂きます。
その後は、ウミガメスポットに移動してシュノーケリング。
横幅が数10mはある、巨大なサンゴの密集地帯で降ろされました。
一面生きたサンゴで、魚も見応えがあります。
ウミガメにも出会えましたよ!ただ、カメを追いかけて沖の方に行くと、いきなり深くなるので注意が必要だと思います。
ウミガメに出会えたのはポイントが高いですが、もう一つのウリであるサンドバーがこの日はもう一つだったので、評価4で。

The sandy beach was not visible. It was about knee-deep, I guess. If it gets any deeper, it might be tough for families with small children. The emerald green sandbar was beautiful. The clarity of the water for snorkeling and the lunch were quite disappointing, but the atmosphere was really enjoyable.
砂浜は出ていませんでした。膝下くらいでしょうか。
これ以上深くなると、小さな子供連れはキビシイかもしれません。
エメラルドグリーンのサンドバーは美しかった。
シュノーケリングの海の透明度、お昼ご飯はかなりイマイチでしたが、雰囲気は凄く楽しめます。

During pickup, the tour guide did not hold a sign, which caused confusion as I couldn't identify the vehicle. Another company's guide helped me, so I boarded just in time for departure. As usual, we took photos immediately upon arrival and were billed later. Despite being a buffet, the menu was unusually limited. It was difficult to order drinks. It was terrible.
ピックアップの時、ツアー担当者が看板を手に持たず、どの車かわからず困惑。他社のガイドさんが教えてくれたので、出発ぎりぎりに乗車。お決まりの到着すぐに写真撮影し後から請求。ブッフェなのに異常に少ないメニュー。飲み物をオーダーしにくい。ひどかった

Due to the weather conditions, it couldn't be helped, but it was very cold, and I was submerged in water up to my knees without being able to see the sandy beach, so I couldn't fully enjoy the angelic sea.
Also, even though I waited from early in the morning for the meeting time, they arrived over 30 minutes late without any particular apology. I understand that traffic can cause delays, but I had even called to confirm, so I was a bit disappointed with the response.
天候の関係もあるので仕方がないのですが、すごく寒くてかつ砂浜見えない膝まで水につかっていて、天使の海を満喫することは出来ませんでした。
また朝早くから集合時間に待っていたのに、30分以上遅れてこられて特にお詫びもなし。渋滞等で仕方がないと思いますが、こちらは電話までして確認しているのに対応が少し残念でした。

Had a great afternoon with the team. Very friendly and helpful.. informative on the history and pointed out the turtles.

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I hope you were able to meet the honu and take home lots of happiness!
Please note that there are no changing rooms or lockers during the tour. Participants should come wearing their swimsuits from their rooms and will return to the hotel in their swimsuits as well. Even if you don't plan to participate in snorkeling, you will need to get into the water when visiting the sandbar, so please make sure to wear clothes that can get wet.
We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure in Paradise of the Sea. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加頂きありがとうございます。
楽しんで頂けたようで本当に嬉しいです。ホヌ達にも会えてたくさ〜んのHappyをお持ち帰り出来ましたのでは?
ツアーの際更衣室、ロッカーなどはありません。ツアー参加の際はお部屋から水着着用で参加、帰りも水着のままでホテル迄戻って頂く事になります。シュノーケルに参加されない予定でも、サンドバーに行かれる際は海に入って頂かないと行けませんので、必ず濡れても構わない服装でご参加下さいね。
天国の海、再チャレンジお待ちしております。マハロ!
