We participated as a couple. We checked the low tide times in advance and joined the morning plan to match the low tide during our stay. Since this was our first time participating, I'm not sure about other times, but I believe the scenery is definitely beautiful during low tide. While it's precious to see the sandbar completely exposed at the lowest tide, personally, I think the best view is when there's a thin layer of seawater just before and after that.

The snorkeling was a bit chilly, but we were thrilled to get quite close to a sea turtle! (It was a little scary being too close, though...)

The local staff were very lively and fluent in Japanese, which helped create a great atmosphere. They prepared warm soup after snorkeling, and there were towels laid out on each seat in the return bus, showing great attention to detail. This tour is definitely recommended.

夫婦で参加させていただきました。
事前に干潮の時間を調べて、ちょうど滞在期間中の干潮の時間に合わせて午前のプランで参加しました。今回が初めての参加なので他の時間はわかりませんが、やはり干潮の時が綺麗だと思います。最も潮が引いてサンドバーが完全に見えているときも貴重ですが、個人的にはその前後のうっすらと海水が乗っているときの景色がベストだと思います。

シュノーケリングは少し肌寒かったですが、たまたまウミガメとかなり接近することができ大興奮でした!（近すぎると逆に少し恐かったですが…）

現地のスタッフの方も、とてもノリが良く日本語もペラペラで、いい感じに盛り上げてくださいました。
シュノーケリング後に温かいスープを用意してくださったり、帰りのバスでは各座席にタオルが敷いてあったり、とても配慮が行き届いていたと思います。
間違いなくオススメのツアーです。

The weather was sunny with occasional clouds, but there was wind, and it was surprisingly cold. The sandbar had water levels up to my knees. Snorkeling at the coral reef had life jackets available, but it seemed deep and was scary for the children. We were lucky to see a sea turtle while snorkeling.

天気は晴れ時々くもりでしたが、風があり、意外と寒かったです。サンドバーは膝下くらいの水位でした。サンゴ礁にてのシュノーケリングは、ライフジャケットはありましたが、深くて子供には怖かったようです。シュノーケリングではウミガメも見れてラッキーでした。

We spent Christmas in Hawaii and went on this excursion and absolutely loved it!!! The crew was fabulous and we would do this excursion again!!! The sandbar was soooo cool and playing volleyball on it was so fun fun!!!

I participated in a breakfast-only tour.

It rained on and off from the time we departed until we reached Angel's Beach, but we were able to see sea turtles, and by the time we arrived at Angel's Beach, the weather had cleared up, so I am satisfied with the tour content.

For this tour, we traveled to the site with two buses, but one of the pick-up buses took a long time to arrive... In the end, it was about 45 minutes after the first bus left that they finally came to pick us up.

The guide who was with us on the way seemed to leave because they were going to the next tour time, and they said, "Please wait here. If it rains, wait over there (at the public restroom with a roof)!!" which made me feel very anxious.

I never expected to feel so uncomfortable just because the buses were different, even though it was the same tour. It's really disappointing because the content of the tour was very good.

朝食のみのツアーに参加しました。
出港時〜天使の海に行くまでの間雨が降ったりやんだりを
繰り返していたのですが、ウミガメは見ることができましたし、天使の海に着いた頃には晴れていたのでツアーの内容には満足しています。

今回のツアーは２台のバスで現地まで行ったのですが
迎えのバスのうち１台がなかなか来ず。。。
最終的に１台目のバスが出発してから４５分ほどたってやっと迎えに来てくれる・・・といった感じでした。

行きにはいてくださったガイドさんも次の時間帯のツアーにいくからなのか
【ここで待っていてください。雨が降ったらあそこ（屋根のある公衆トイレ）で待っていてください！！】という言葉を残し、行ってしまったのでとても不安な気持ちになりました。

同じツアーなのに
バスが違うだけでこんなに嫌な気持ちなるなんて思いませんでした。
ツアーの内容はとてもよかったので残念でなりません。

A family with five children aged 4 to 14 participated. The weather was favorable, and we had truly wonderful views and experiences. The sea was a bit cold, so the 4-year-old couldn't stay in for too long, but they enjoyed it.

4歳から14歳まで子どもが５人の家族で参加しました。
天候に恵まれ、本当に素晴らしい景色と体験が出来ました。
海は少し寒かったので、4歳の子は余り長い時間入ってられませんでしたが、たのしめました。

The day I participated was clear and the wind was gentle, making it incredibly beautiful! The contrast between the sea and the sky was stunning! I heard there are cloudy days as well, but when it's sunny, the view is breathtaking!! I want to go again!

参加させて頂いた日が快晴で風も穏やかだったのもあり、凄く綺麗でした！
海、空のコントラストが美しかったです！
曇りの時もあるみたいですが、晴れている時は絶景です！！ もう一度行きたいと思いました！！

I joined a morning tour. The guide was interesting and I had a great time, and I saw quite a few sea turtles. In the morning, when we got off the boat, the water was about waist-deep, and we walked a bit to the sandbar. Even so, it was still up to my knees. The sea was very beautiful.

朝出て行くツアーに乗りました。ガイドさんは面白くて楽しめましたし、ウミガメもかなり見えました。朝は船を降りると腰ぐらいまでの深さがあり、少し歩いてサンドバーに。それでも膝上くらいまではありました。海はとても綺麗でした。

The sailing tour was my first experience, and it was incredibly refreshing. Lying on the net and listening to the sound of the waves made me feel like my whole body was being purified. I only nibbled on snacks and selected drinks, but I hardly touched them because I was so absorbed in sailing. If you get tired from shopping, taking this sailing tour could be a great way to refresh yourself, which is a typical way to enjoy Hawaii.

セーリングツアーは初めての体験でしたが超が付くほど気持ちいい。ネットに寝ながら波音を聞いていると全身が浄化されていくような感じがします。
スナックはつまむ程度、ドリンクはセレクトしましたが、セーリングに夢中でほとんど口にしませんでした。
お買い物に疲れたらこのセーリングツアーで気分転換するのもハワイらしい過ごし方かもしれません。

Even in Hawaii, it was cold in December. The half-day course was just right. I recommend it as a trial for those who want to try snorkeling. Since you just swim back and forth while looking at the coral, it was fine even if you’re not very confident in your swimming skills. As others have commented, the sandbar depends on the timing of the tides, so it was a bit disappointing. However, I was happy to see not only sea turtles but also manta rays!

ハワイと言えども、１２月寒かった。半日コースでちょうど良かったです。
シュノーケリング始めてみたい方にはお試しとしてお勧めです。
行列を作りながらサンゴを見て往復するだけなので泳ぎに多少自信がなくても大丈夫でした。
サンドバーは他の方もコメントしている通り、潮の満ち引きのタイミングもあるので残念ながらといった感じでした。
ただし、ウミガメはもちろん、マンタも見られたのでhappy!でした！

The BBQ was even better than I expected. The staff were all fun and entertaining. I was also very satisfied to see the sea turtles up close.

BBQが予想以上においしかった。スタッフはみんな楽しく面白かったです。またウミガメもすごい近くから見ることができ大変満足です。

It was a morning-only early bird tour. The schedule was very fulfilling with no wasted time, and I was very satisfied with the tour. Even just in the morning, the content was rich. The staff were cheerful, fun, and very kind. Thank you for the enjoyable tour.

午前中のみ早朝プランのツアーでした。スケジュールも大変充実してて無駄の時間が無く、
とても満足いくツアーでした。午前中のみでも内容が濃いです。スタッフの皆様は明るく楽しく対応も親切でした。楽しいツアーありがとうございました。

I used the service on December 29. There was no wind, and the sea was calm, making it a perfect day for the tour. It was a wonderful experience with many sea turtles observed, and my small children, aged 3 and 6, were able to play happily. The tour staff's fun talks and thoughtfulness added to the experience.

However, the air conditioning on the bus going there was too cold, and all the tour guests were uncomfortable. I tried to bring it up to the driver, but as soon as I started talking, he had an attitude that suggested I shouldn't say anything more. What a shame! The temperature control on the return bus was good.

１２月２９日に利用しました。風はなく、海も凪、最高のツアー日和でした。多くのウミガメが観察できたこと、３歳と６歳の小さな子供も楽しく遊べたこと、ツアースタッフの楽しいトークと心使いなど素晴らしいツアーでした。
ただ、行きのバスのエアコンが寒すぎ、ツアー客全員困っていたので、運転手に訴えようとしましたが、話を始めた途端、それ以上言うなという態度で受け付けてもらえませんでした。残念！帰りのバスは良好な温度コントロールでした。

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, we wanted to enjoy a lovely sunset, so our family of four decided to take this cruise. We boarded from the pier right in front of the Hilton, and the kids were able to play on the beach during the waiting time, which made it a stress-free experience. When the sun began to set, we left our shoes before boarding and didn't need to bring much else. The boat was relatively large and had restrooms. There were benches in both a sheltered area to avoid the sun and wind, as well as an outdoor area. They offered light snacks, but it was just chips and cookies. That day, it was just us and one other couple from abroad. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset, and we cruised until the city lights came on, but it was really windy and cold!!! I wore a long-sleeve shirt and a windbreaker, but my feet were bare and got chilly... The boat was rocking, and my 2-year-old got seasick and was in a bad mood. It was quite a long time, so I felt sorry for him. I think the atmosphere and facilities are good, so I recommend this for families with small children during warmer seasons!

ハワイ到着日にサンセットで素敵な雰囲気をと思い家族4人で利用しました。ヒルトンの目の前の桟橋から乗船するため、待ち時間も子どもたちは砂浜で遊ぶなどゆったりとストレスありませんでした。陽が傾きかけたころ、乗船前に靴を預けて裸足で乗る以外は特に持ち物は要りません。比較的大きな船でお手洗いもあります。陽射しや風を避ける壁がついたエリアと外のエリアにベンチがあります。軽食とありますがスナック菓子、クッキー程度です。その日は私たちと他外国人のご夫婦1組だけでした。残念ながらサンセットは見えず、その後街がライトアップするまでクルージングするのですが、何せ風もすごいし寒い！！！長袖にウィンドブレーカーを着ていきましたが、足元は裸足だし冷えました・・・。うねりがあって揺れたこともあり、2歳の子どもは船酔いしてしまい、機嫌も悪く、更に結構時間が長いので可哀想なことをしました。雰囲気設備は良いと思うので、小さなお子さんがいる方は暖かい季節をおススメいたします！

I signed up for this tour because I wanted to visit the beautiful ocean in Hawaii for the first time! On the day of the tour, the weather was cloudy with occasional sunshine and rain. Unfortunately, it was cold and windy during the snorkeling, but even so, the ocean was beautiful and I was able to see fish. I think it would have looked even more stunning if it had been sunny the whole time!

初めてのハワイで綺麗な海に行きたいと思い、このツアーに申し込みました！当日は天気が曇り時々晴れ時々雨でした。風が強くあいにく寒い中のシュノーケリングになりましたが、そんな中でも海は綺麗で魚も見れました。ずっと晴れていたら何倍も綺麗に見れたと思います！

Had a blast. Staff were awesome and very friendly. Saw sea turtles and tons of fish and played water volley ball on the sand bar. Would do this again!

Me and my boyfriend had a great time on this sail. The crew was so friendly, made us feel right at home. We like to snorkel every chance we get - and we love when the crew will show us specific cool finds - like sea turtles and dolphins! The food was delicious as well. We like more intimate sails, and there were only about 15 people on our boat, with 4 crew members - PERFECT! Overall just a great tour and exactly what we were looking for. Wish it would have lasted longer! 4 hours on the dot. Thanks again guys.

It was an awesome day for us! Love the crews, the beautiful ocean

I had a valuable experience! The sea turtles were friendly and stayed around the boat the whole time. Since I wasn't good at snorkeling, I was able to borrow a float and have fun. And, the lunch was a buffet style and very enjoyable. I would like to participate again when I go to Oahu.

貴重な体験ができました♪
ウミガメも人懐っこくてずっと船の周りにいてくれました。
シュノーケリングが苦手だったので、浮き輪を借りて遊ぶこともできました。
そしてそして、ランチがバイキング形式でとっても楽しめました。
またオアフ島に行く際には参加したいです。

I had a great time! The ocean was amazing! I wish the weather had been better... but I definitely want to go again! Thank you very much! Also, I received the photo viewing paper on a different date, so we can't see ours on the day. If possible, please let me know!!! (＞＜)

楽しく過ごせました！
海も最高でしたぁー！もっと天気が良かったら...とゎ思いますがまた行きたいです！
ありがとうございました！
あと、写真の閲覧の紙を日にち違いで貰ってたので
当日私達のが見えません。
良かったら教えて下さい！！！(＞＜)

I really enjoyed my time on the captain Bobs tour! I would definitely do it again and would recommend it to all my friends. It's a must do when visiting Hawaii! The company crew was awesome! Very friendly:) can't wait to go back!

There was no sand, but the water was about knee-deep and the weather was sunny, so I was able to take very beautiful photos. I also encountered a sea turtle and the food was delicious. However, since there were only enough paper plates for the number of people, those who want seconds should keep their paper plates.

It's important to note that the rules do not allow staff to take photos with just an iPhone or a camera in a waterproof case, so I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera. When snorkeling to see the coral, the visibility wasn't very high, and many areas of the coral appeared to be dead. I went in December, but since the water was cold, it's a good idea to bring something to wear on the boat.

砂は出ていませんでしたが膝下くらいの水深で天気も晴れていたのでとても美しい写真が撮れました。ウミガメにも出会え料理も美味しかったです。
ただし紙皿が人数分しかないため、お代わりしたい人は紙皿をキープしといたほうがいいです。
iPhone や防水ケースに入れただけのカメラではスタッフの人に写真を撮ってもらうことができないルールなので必ず防水カメラを持っていくことをおすすめします。
シュノーケリングで珊瑚を見るときにそこまで透明度は高くなく、珊瑚も死んでいる箇所が多く見られました。
12月に行ったのですが、水が冷たいため船上で羽織るものを持って行ったほうがいいです。

I was impressed by the incredibly beautiful sea!

I was a bit anxious because my elderly mother was with me, but the staff were kind and we were able to enjoy ourselves. I especially appreciate the help from the staff member "Yuki," who I believe is Japanese. I would like to visit again during the season when the sandy beach appears.

Also, I was disappointed for being late to the meeting time, but I am grateful that the VELTRA staff called the hotel and made new arrangements for us. Thank you very much!

と～っても綺麗な海で感激しました＼(^o^)／

年老いた母が一緒だったので少し不安でしたが、スタッフのみなさんが親切で楽しむことができました。特に日本人（と思います）スタッフの「ｙｕｋｉ」さんお世話になりました。今度は砂浜が現れる季節に行きたいと思います。

また、集合時間に遅れてしまいがっかりしていたところに、VELTRAのスタッフの方がホテルに電話をくださり、新たに手配くださったのにも感謝です。ありがとうございましたm(__)m

Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sandy beach, but the tour was very good! I forgot the name (sorry...), but the Japanese female staff member was cute, funny, and made it enjoyable♪ They also called the fish with food for snorkeling, and my kindergarten-aged daughter was able to have a great time. The water was about waist-deep for her, so I want to try again next time!

残念ながら砂浜はみれませんでしたがツアーはとてもよかったです！名前は忘れてしましましたが(すいません・・）日本人の女性スタッフの方がかわいくておもしろくて楽しめました♪シュノーケルもエサで魚をよんでくれて、幼稚園児の娘でもしっかり楽しむことができました。水面が娘だと腰くらいまであったので、次回またリベンジしたいです！

The guide was very energetic and it was fun! We got to see sea turtles, which was amazing. On the way back, I think it would be good to have an extra hoodie or something since it gets cold! I want to go again at a different time!!!

ガイドさんがテンション高くて楽しかった！海ガメも見れて、最高でした。帰りは、寒いので余分にパーカーとかあるといいかなと思います！また、違う時期に行きたい！！！

The hotel pickup was smooth, and we arrived from the Ala Moana Hotel in about an hour. The staff were all cheerful. The weather was great, and the sandbar was incredibly beautiful. My 81-year-old father managed to walk in water up to his knees. I want to thank the Japanese staff member who held his hand. It was a rare opportunity to enter such a beautiful sea, and he seemed very impressed! The lunch was also good and very delicious. During the free time afterward, everyone enjoyed themselves with canoes, paddleboards, and floating around with inner tubes. Since everyone was treated as beginners for snorkeling and had to line up to practice before diving, it reduced the fun a bit; I wished that those with snorkeling experience could dive freely. However, there were surprisingly many fish, so we still had a good time. The friendly atmosphere of the staff was really nice.

ホテルピックアップもスムーズでアラモアナホテルから約1時間で到着。陽気なスタッフばかり。天気良くサンドバーもすごくキレイで膝上くらいの中、81歳の父もガンバって歩きました。日本人スタッフの方には手をひいて頂きありがとうございました。あんなキレイな海に入ることなんてなかなかないので感激した様子でした！ランチの内容も良くとても美味しかった。そのあとの自由時間はカヌーやパドルボート、浮き輪でプカプカしたりと皆思い思い楽しんでました。シュノーケルは皆初心者扱いで一列になり練習後潜るため楽しさが半減、シュノーケル経験者は自由に潜らせて欲しかった。でも意外に魚も多かったので楽しめた。スタッフ達の気さくな雰囲気がとっても良かった。

Sandbar!!
It was truly a dreamlike view.
A white beach appears alone in the ocean.
There, I played volleyball with cheerful Hawaiians.
After a bit of moving around, I got to see wild sea turtles.
They swam gracefully in the beautiful sea.
For lunch, I had a cheeseburger,
which was delicious because it was grilled on the boat!!
Finally, we toured around the coral.
It was a plan to fully enjoy the sea of Hawaii!!

サンドバー！！
まさに夢のような景色。
沖にぽつんと現れる白浜。
そこで陽気なハワイ人とバレーボール。
少し移動し、野生のウミガメを見学。
きれいな海を優雅に泳ぐ。
昼ごはんは、チーズバーガー
船の上でグリルで焼くからまた旨い！！
最後は珊瑚を周遊。
ハワイの海を全身で満喫するプランでした！！

I didn't see a complete sandbar, but I was able to experience the strange sensation of walking in the ocean. The color of the sea varies with depth, and the contrast was moving just to look at.

It was my first time snorkeling, and I was anxious, but each person checked to make sure we could breathe, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. I think it's a good idea to have a waterproof cover for your camera. I bought one for my iPhone at ABC Store.

The staff were genuinely kind and friendly. I believe the shuttle bus driver was a local, and he worked hard to guide us in Japanese, sharing valuable information about Hawaii. I was healed during this time away from everyday life. Thank you so much!

完全なサンドバーは見られませんでしたが、海の中を歩くという不思議な感覚を体験できました。深さによって海の色が違うので、そのコントラストは見ているだけで感動的でした。
シュノーケリングは初めてで不安でしたが、ひとりひとり、呼吸できているか等確認してくださるので、安心して楽しめました。
カメラは防水カバーを用意した方がいいと思います。私はABCストアでiPhone用を購入しました。

スタッフの方はお世辞抜きに全員優しく、親切でした。送迎バスの運転手は現地の方だったと思いますが、日本語で一生懸命ガイドしてくださり、貴重なハワイ情報を教えてくれました。
日常とかけ離れた時間で癒されました～。本当にありがとうございました！

The barbecue lunch was delicious. Although it wasn't low tide for the sandbar, it was fun to go snorkeling. Snorkeling on the coral reef was unexpectedly... it seems like it would be enjoyable with the fish coming close. I'm sorry for making her feel cold.

ランチのバーべーキューもおいしかったです。サンドバーも干潟になる時間ではありませんでしたが、シュノーケリングできてたのしかったです。サンゴ礁のシュノーケリングは不覚にも…・魚が寄ってきたりして楽しいそうです。彼女には寒い思いをさせてごめんなさい。

Great crew, nice boat, a great ride down Waikiki beach, beautiful views, smooth sail in and out. Pictures everywhere you turn, recommend this to anyone looking to take some really cool pictures. Relax and enjoy the ride.

I had a great time.
I participated in mid-September, and the sandbar was about 15 to 20 cm deep at the shallowest point.
During snorkeling, when the staff threw in some food, a lot of fish came close, and I really enjoyed it.
(I think there were sea turtles, but I missed seeing them.)
The lunch hamburger was surprisingly delicious!

I applied sunscreen before participating, but while I took a 30-minute nap on the boat, I got an incredibly severe sunburn like I had never experienced before. It was painful to walk the next day and afterward, which was tough.
At the end, the staff said, "Since this is an American company, if possible, we would appreciate your feelings..." (for tips), so I dropped a little something into the tip bucket at the boat disembarkation point. However, when I looked at the bucket, there were zero tips from anyone except our group!!!
During the tour, they prepared meals and provided support, and I felt that the staff's personality and service were very pleasant. However, there were some people who hesitated, saying things like, "Is it okay to give just coins?" which personally surprised me.

楽しかったです。
９月半ばに参加、サンドバーは一番浅い場所で水深15〜20cmくらいだったかな？
シュノーケリングはスタッフさんがエサを投下すると、たくさんのお魚さんが間近に来てくれて、とても楽しめました。
(海ガメもいたみたいですが、自分は見逃しました。
)
ランチのハンバーガーが意外にも美味しくて♪(´ε｀ )

日焼け止め塗って参加しましたが、ボートで30分うたた寝してる間に今まで体験したことないくらいの物凄い日焼け(重症)してしまい、翌日以降歩くのも痛くて、大変でした。
最後にスタッフさんが「一応、アメリカの会社なのでできれば、、お気持ちを、、お願いします！」(チップ)と言われたので、ボート降車口に設置されているチップ入れのバケツに少しばかり気持ちを投下しました。が、しかし、バケツを見てみると、うちのグループ以外にチップ投下ゼロ！！！
ツアー中は食事の用意やらサポートやらしていただきましたし、スタッフさんの人柄や対応もとても気持ちの良いものだったと感じたのですが。。
中には「小銭でもいいかな？」なんて言って渋ってる方もいて、個人的には驚きました。
