The sandbar was not as white as I had imagined, and the water was up to my waist. It seems that this depends on the time of year, and to experience the condition I envisioned, I would need to plan my visit accordingly.
Still, the feeling of walking in the middle of the ocean was quite strange.
After getting wet, it gets pretty cold on the boat, so a change of clothes or something to cover up is essential! (I felt quite cold myself.)
The hamburger I had on the boat was delicious!
サンドバーは、想像していたよりは白くなく、腰上ぐらいまで海水がありました。
これは行く時期に依るらしく、想像する状態を体験するためには、時間時期を決め打ちでいかないと行けないとのことでした。
それでも、海のど真ん中を歩いている感覚は、なんだか不思議でした。
濡れた後、ボートに乗ると結構寒いので、着替えか羽織るものは必須です!(自分は結構寒い思いをしました)
ボートの上で食べるハンバーガーは美味しかったです!

I just want to say that it didn't turn out like the attached photo. I didn't bring a swimsuit this time because I didn't want to wear one. I thought it would be fine to just wear shorts since I was only going to step onto the sand.
But then I heard that the sandy area only appears during new moons or full moons. When I actually went, the beautiful white sand was under the gorgeous blue sea. The water was about knee-deep. However, to get down, I had to wade into the water up to my chest and then walk to that spot, which ended up meaning I had to view it from the boat... Not bringing a swimsuit was a mistake, but I never expected that the time when it looks like the promotional images would only be during a very limited period.
Well, aside from that, the weather was nice, and I got to see a lot of sea turtles, so it was good overall. Yeah, I guess I don't need to make a choice next time.
添付の写真のようにはいかないということだけ言っておきます。
水着になるのが嫌だったので、今回は水着は持って行かなかったわけです。
サンドの上に降り立つだけなので、ハーフパンツでいいかなと。
そしたら、砂地が出るのは新月とか満月とか、そういう時だけっていうじゃないですか。
実際行ってみたら、きれいな白い砂地はキレイなブルーな海の下。
膝の高さくらいまで海があったかな。
ただ、降りる際には一度海に胸くらいまで入って、その場所まで歩いて行かないといけなくて、
結果船から眺めるハメに・・・。
水着を持ってこなかったのも失敗だったんですが、まさかプロモーション画像のような時期は、
ほんの一部の時期だけなんて。
まぁそれを除けば、天気もよかったし、ウミガメもたくさん見れたし、良かったかな。
うん、もう次はチョイスしなくてヨシ。

I signed up because it wasn't too early in the morning.
I was disappointed that I could only see the sea turtles for a moment.
Playing beach volleyball at the sandbar was fun.
The hamburger was delicious.
Since it was my first time snorkeling, I would have appreciated a more detailed explanation.
I wanted to know that it's easier to swim using fins rather than treading water in deeper areas, and that you should get back on the boat facing backward.
The water was about thigh-deep, but I was satisfied to have gone to the sandbar.
朝が早すぎないので申込しました。
海ガメが一瞬しか見れなかったのが残念でした。
サンドバーでのビーチバレーが楽しかったです。
ハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
シュノーケルをしたのが初めてだったので、説明は丁寧にしてもらいたかったです。
深い所では立泳ぎより足ヒレを使って泳いでた方が楽とか船に上がる時は後ろ向きからとか説明して欲しかったです。
太股くらいまで水がありましたが、サンドバーに行けて満足でした。

The pickup was on time, the bus driving was problem-free, and the guide was very entertaining and likable. However, the weather was not great; it was overcast, and the sea water was cold, which was completely different from the blue sky I had imagined, so I was very disappointed. I wonder if it depends on the season? I think it would be helpful if you could include that information as well.
ピックアップは時間通り、バスの運転も問題なく、ガイドさんはとても面白く、好感が持て良かった。
ただ、お天気が今一で、ドンヨリしていて、海の水は冷たくて、想像していた青い空晴れ渡る空のもととは全然違うものだったので、とても残念だった。時期にもよるのかなぁ?と思いますが、その辺も書いて頂けると参考に出来ると思いました。

Two people in their 60s, two in their 30s, an 18-year-old, a 7-year-old, and a 2-year-old participated. The crew and the hamburgers on board were very delicious, which was great, but they mentioned that the sandbar area is close to the mountains and there aren't many sunny days. It was very cold. When getting off the boat to the sandbar, you have to go into the water up to about your waist. My 18-year-old eldest son and my husband had fun participating in the sandbar activities, but they did not join the snorkeling. About half of the participants did not join. Those who did were shivering. If you bring plenty of warm clothing and think about staying warm, you can enjoy it. I thought it would be the same as the sandbars in Okinawa, so I only prepared for heatstroke. It was the complete opposite.
60代2人30代2人18歳7歳2歳で参加。乗務員さんや、船上のハンバーガーはとっても美味しくて良かったですが、サンドバー付近は、山間の近くにあって、なかなか晴れる日がないとの事。とっても寒いです。船からサンドバーに降りるときは、へそ下ぐらいまで海に入らないとだめです。18歳の長男と旦那は楽しく、サンドバーバレーに参加してましたが、シュノーケリングは,不参加。半分ぐらいの方不参加でした。入った人は、がくがく震えてました。着替えなどたくさん持って防寒を考えていくと入れます。私は、沖縄のサンドバーと同じだと思っていたので、熱中症対策ばかりで。真逆でした。

We went on our honeymoon, and it became a very enjoyable memory. The captain kept the atmosphere lively throughout the shuttle bus ride, and we had a great time playing volleyball in the shallow waters and enjoying handmade hamburgers from the crew.
Snorkeling at the coral reef allowed us to swim closely with sea turtles and interact with colorful fish.
However, the weather was bad that day, and the strong winds made it quite cold, which was disappointing as we couldn't see many sea turtles.
If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I definitely want to go back!
新婚旅行で行ったのですが、とても楽しい思い出になりました。
送迎バスよりキャプテンが終始盛り上げてくれ、浅瀬でのバレーボールやクルーの方の手作りハンバーガーなど、楽しいひとときを過ごさせていただきました。
珊瑚礁でのシュノーケリングは、ウミガメと間近で泳げたり、色とりどりの魚達と触れ合うことができました。
ただ、当日の天気が悪く風も強かったため、ウミガメがあまり見れず、何よりも寒かったのが残念でした…。
またハワイに行く機会があったら、是非もう一度行きたいです!

I went in April, and it was cold. It feels even colder with the wind, so wearing a wetsuit makes it more enjoyable. Be careful with rash guards, as they can make you feel even colder when the wind blows. The water is clear, and there are fish and turtles, so I think girls and children would like it. If you have a waterproof camera, you can take pictures. Non-waterproof cameras are not allowed because they could get damaged.
4月に行きましたが寒いです。風があると尚更寒いのでウェット来たほうが楽しめます。ラッシュガードは風が吹くと余計寒いので注意が必要です。水が綺麗で魚や亀がいますので女の子や子供は好きと思います。
カメラは防水なら撮って貰えます。非防水は壊す危険があるとかで撮ってもらえません。

I wish I had changed in the restroom before getting on.

Although the weather was unfortunately cloudy throughout the day and not sunny, the beauty of the sandbar's sea was highlighted when blue skies and light occasionally peeked through the clouds.
Since it wasn't low tide, the white sandy beach didn't rise above the water's surface, but we still enjoyed the stunning emerald green sea.
While snorkeling, we swam with many fish and encountered four sea turtles. There were even turtles swimming right next to us, which really got us excited when they came close!
The BBQ on the boat featured hamburgers, which were very delicious. The staff prepared them on the spot, adding cheese and other toppings, and they provided the service in a fun and engaging manner, making it enjoyable.
If I had one complaint, it would be that the guide staff during the transfer made some belittling jokes about Japanese people, which was off-putting. However, the other staff members were very friendly and great.
終始曇り空であいにくの天気で晴天というわけではなかったが、時々雲の切れ間からの青空と光が差し込むと、サンドバーの海の綺麗さが引き立って綺麗でした。
干潮ではなかったので、白い砂浜が水面に上がることはなかったが、エメラルドグリーンの海の綺麗さだけでも十分楽しめました。
シュノーケリングでは、たくさんのお魚と一緒に泳げ、ウミガメにも4匹遭遇できました。
人間のすぐ横で泳ぐ亀もいて近くに来た時はテンション上がりまくり!
船上でのBBQはハンバーガー。とっても美味しかったです。
スタッフがその場でチーズ等具材を挟んで提供してくれるのですが、事務的でなく遊びを交えて提供してくれ、楽しませてくれました。
1つ不満をあげるとすると、送迎の際のガイドスタッフが日本人を小馬鹿にしたジョークで蔑んでる感じを受け気を悪くしました。

I participated in the afternoon tour. I was a bit worried about the weather as it was slightly cloudy that day, but once the boat set sail, the sun came out, and I was able to see the beautiful sandbar. The malasadas served on the boat were freshly made, still warm, and fluffy.
We landed on the sandbar! The water was at calf height due to the low tide, and we played by lying down and jumping, while the staff captured the moments with a camera. Before the sea turtles appeared, a little squid also made a guest appearance (laughs), receiving cheers of "So cute!!" from the young women (laughs).
Then we went snorkeling at the coral reef. Guided by the staff, we snorkeled while observing the coral reef. We were also able to see the sea turtles that came to visit us. Lunch was served buffet style, with a variety of options including meat, salad, fruit, bread, and rice. I didn't eat much, but everyone else went back for seconds multiple times.
There are various things to keep in mind when participating, but the staff kindly explains everything. Even those who are snorkeling for the first time have practice time, so it's all good! (Those who can't swim can rest on the boat.) Also, if you book through VELTRA, you can rent prescription masks, so those with poor eyesight can enjoy snorkeling without worry.
If you have a waterproof camera like I do, you can enjoy the tour even more, but even if you don't, you can purchase a waterproof "disposable camera" on the boat, and the staff will also take photos of the participants, so there's no need to worry. The staff were unique, and I’m really glad I participated. This time, I joined with a colleague, but if I have the chance to travel to Hawaii again, I would like to bring my whole family along.
午後のツアーで参加いたしました。当日の天候は少し曇りで心配していましたが
船が出航すると晴れ間も現れ、美しいサンドバーを拝見することができました。
船内で振る舞われるマラサダは出来たてでまだ温かくてフワッフワです。
サンドバーに上陸!海面は引き潮でふくらはぎの高さで、寝そべって遊んだり、
ジャンプして滞空する瞬間をスタッフの方がカメラで撮影してくださいました。
ウミガメ登場の前に、小さなイカちゃんもゲストで登場(笑)
若い女性の「キャーカワイイ!!」という歓声を浴びていました(笑)
そして珊瑚礁のシュノーケリングです。スタッフの先導で珊瑚礁を見ながらシュノーケリング。
遊びに来てくれたウミガメも見ることができました。
昼食はビュッフェスタイルでお肉からサラダ、フルーツ、パン、ごはんなど様々なものが

参加の際、色々と注意しなければならないことがありますが、スタッフの方が親切に説明してくれます。
シュノーケリングが初めての方でも練習時間があるので大丈夫です!

The weather was great, and the sea was really beautiful (^^)♪ Since it was a morning trip, we arrived at the sandbar just in time for low tide, and in some places, the seawater had completely receded. During snorkeling, a sea turtle came up to the surface for air right in front of me, and I was able to swim a little with it! We had plenty of time, so even though we were running late, we weren't rushed at all and could swim leisurely and enjoy ourselves. However, the sandbar had rocky areas that were quite painful, so it would have been nice to have rental reef shoes. *It's hard to justify buying them just for this (^^;

I understand that the weather can be unpredictable, so I'll write this with that in mind. Please keep that in consideration as you read.
At the sea turtle observation point, we were guided with a typical foreigner’s vibe. You can take it as fun or annoying.
At the sandbar location, we were dropped off in water that reached our waists, and we had to walk through water that came up to our ankles. It was very cold since the sun wasn't out. In the distance, there were other tours, and I could see the sandbar that I really wanted to see. I thought, why not just go there? But I suspect there are territorial boundaries in place. However, for us participants who paid a lot of money and have limited time, that doesn’t matter. If the sandbar was visible, I wish they had mentioned it.
From start to finish, it felt like a tour that was just taking advantage of Japanese people. That said, this might be something that can be said globally...
天候に左右されるのは承知の上で書きます。
読者側もそれを踏まえてお読み下さい。
ウミガメ観測地点では、適当な外人特有のノリで誘導されます。面白いととるか、ウザいととるか。
サンドバー地点では、今回は水面が腰まであるところで降ろされ、水面がくるぶしのところまで歩かされました。
太陽が出てなかったので非常に寒かったです。
遠方には違うツアーなのか、いかにも見たかったサンドバーが散見されました。
それならばそこまで行けば良いのでは?と思うのですが、おそらく縄張りがあるのではと思います。
しかし、高いお金を払って滞在時間が限られている我々参加者にとっては、そんなの知ったことではありません。
サンドバーが見えているのであれば言ってほしかったです。
最初から最後まで、日本人をカモにしているとしか思えないツアーでした。

Thank you very much for participating in our tour. However, we sincerely apologize for not being able to provide a service that meets your expectations.
Hawaii is warm throughout the year, but we understand that on the day of your tour, the sun was not out, which may have made the water feel cold and caused some participants to feel chilly. We hope you understand that we strive to bring the tour as close as possible to the best locations by boat, with the intention of ensuring everyone enjoys the experience.
Regarding the sandbar, please note that the location where boats can dock is determined by the tour company, and the water levels change daily, which can affect visibility. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

I had an amazing time! Luckily, I was able to see a sea turtle right in front of me, which was so moving! I had heard that sometimes you can see them and sometimes you can't, so I was very satisfied to see one! I participated in the afternoon tour, and the food on the boat was incredibly delicious, and I ate a lot! The meat, in particular, was really tasty! I didn't go snorkeling; I just kept eating! The ocean was, as expected, like paradise, and it felt much cleaner than Waikiki Beach!
すごく楽しかったです!運良く、目の前で海ガメが見れて感動しました☆海ガメは見れる時と見れない時があると聞いていたのですが、見れて大満足でした!午後のツアーに参加しましたが、船の中でのお食事がすごく美味しくて沢山食べました!特にお肉がすごく美味しかったです!シュノーケリングには行かずに、ずっと食べてました!海も、さすが天国の海というだけあって、ワイキキのビーチよりもすごく綺麗に感じました!
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. It was amazing to get up close with the sea turtles! I'm really glad you enjoyed the meal as well. Please come back and visit us when you're in Hawaii again. We look forward to that day with the sea turtles. Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加ありがとうございます。
ウミガメ大接近!!ですね。お食事も楽しんで頂いて本当に良かったです。またハワイにお越しの際はぜひ遊びに来て下さいね。
その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!

I participated in a plan that included lunch. At the sandbar, the guide started a volleyball game, so I was able to have fun with others. It was cold after getting out of the water from snorkeling, so it was a good decision to bring a change of clothes. Those who got on the bus in their swimsuits looked quite cold. On the boat, they also served warm drinks.
ランチ付きプランに参加しました。サンドバーではガイドの方がバレーを始めてくれたので、他の方とも楽しく過ごせました。シュノーケルは海から上がってからが寒かったので、着替えを持って行って正解でした。水着のままバスに乗られていた方たちはかなり寒そうでした。船では温かい飲み物も出してくれました。

Snorkeling is definitely better at the front! If you want to see the clear, beautiful sea, you absolutely have to go at the front because the back is murky!
シュノーケリングは先発が絶対とく‼︎
後方は水が濁ってしまってるから澄んだ綺麗な海をみたいなら絶対先発‼︎‼︎

The bus on the way there was so cold that I was freezing (~_~;) It made my stomach hurt... The return trip was a bit better, but the ride there was really too cold and it was terrible.
行きのバスの中が寒くて凍えてた(~_~;)お腹痛くなるやつ…帰りはまだマシやったけど行きは本当に寒すぎてやばかった

The weather wasn't very good in the morning... it was cold (~_~;) But I was glad I could see a beautiful rainbow‼︎ A wrap is definitely a must-have.
朝から天気があまり良くなかったから…寒かった(~_~;)でも、虹も綺麗にみれたからよかった‼︎やっぱり羽織るものは必需品です。

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are delighted to hear that the weather was nice on the day of your visit and that you were able to enjoy watching the sea turtles.
Regarding the water level at the sandbar that you mentioned, as indicated on the tour page, please understand that due to the tides, there may be times when the sand beach is not visible. However, we can imagine that you were disappointed not to see the sandbar with the sand exposed above the water as you had hoped.
Additionally, please note that you will need to move through the water from the boat's docking position to the sandbar, so we kindly ask that you wear a swimsuit in advance.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback despite your busy schedule.

この度は、ツアーにご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。
当日は天気もよく、ウミガメをご鑑賞いただけたようで嬉しく思います。
ご指摘いただいておりますサンドバーの水位につきましては、ツアーページ上でご案内させていただいております通り、潮の満ち引きの関係上、砂浜が見えない場合もございますことご理解いただけますと幸いです。しかしながら、ご期待のそった水面から砂地がでているサンドバーをご覧いただくことができず、残念なお気持ちだったかと察します。
また、船の停泊位置からサンドバーまでは水の中を移動していただきますので、事前に水着の着用をお願いしておりますことご了承ください。
お忙しい中、貴重なご投稿を賜りまして、誠にありがとうございました。
