I had wanted to visit the sandbar. However, it was unfortunately rainy, and the water depth at the shallowest point was only about knee-deep for men. This was disappointing, as it was due to weather conditions. Despite this, the staff were cheerful and helped create a fun atmosphere, making the experience enjoyable. The snorkeling was in relatively deeper water, but it was safe since we wore life jackets. We were also able to see the honu (sea turtles).
行ってみたかったサンドバー。
しかし生憎の雨、そして最も浅いところの水深も男性の膝下くらいでした。
こればかりは気象条件によるので、残念でした。
そんな中でもスタッフの方々が明るく盛り上げていただき、楽しく過ごせました。
シュノーケリングは比較的深いところですが、ライフジャケットを着て泳ぎますので安心です。ホヌも見ることが出来ました。

The sea was beautiful, anyway!
I saw a sea turtle from a distance.
It was my first time snorkeling, and I enjoyed seeing the coral too!
It was great that I could first challenge myself in the shallow waters!
The staff were so cheerful! It was reassuring that the Japanese staff provided clear explanations.
The handmade hamburger we had on the boat was delicious!
The freshly grilled patty was juicy!
とにかく海が綺麗でした!
遠目でしたが、海ガメも見れました。
初めてのシュノーケルでしたが、珊瑚も見れて楽しめました(*^^*)
浅瀬でまずチャレンジできたのがよかった!

It was unfortunately rainy from the morning, but the sun came out just during the sandbar and snorkeling time. We checked the tides and were able to see the best views. The round trip from the port was cold due to the rain, and some people were standing in covered areas. There's nothing we can do about the weather, but it would have been even better if it had been sunny.
朝からあいにくの雨でしたが、サンドバーとシュノーケルの時だけ太陽が現れてくれました(^^)v

The sandbar feels like an ordinary beach in the ocean, so I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be, haha. However, I think it's nice to spend the day relaxing, eating burgers grilled on the boat, watching sea turtles from the boat, and snorkeling.
サンドバーは海の中にある普通の砂浜という感じなので思ったほど感動でもなかったです笑でも、船で焼いてくれたハンバーガーを食べたり、船上からウミガメを見たり、シュノーケリングをしたりと1日のんびり過ごせてよいかと思います。

I was waiting at the changed meeting place the day before the tour, but no shuttle came, and I didn't receive any calls on my registered mobile. I tried calling the tour company several times, but couldn't get through. After 40 minutes, I finally got a call through, and when I explained the situation, they asked if I had been at the meeting place.
They said they would contact me again after confirming, so I waited in my room, but after 30 minutes, I still hadn't heard anything. When I called again, they said the Japanese office opens at 8 AM, which is why they couldn't contact me. At that point, it was already past 8:15 AM.
They mentioned rescheduling for another day or in the afternoon, but due to my travel schedule, I could only reschedule for that afternoon, which meant I would have to switch to a lunch plan that was different from the morning one I had originally chosen. Since I was traveling with an 8-month-old baby, snorkeling wasn't an option, and long hours would be a burden, which is why I had specifically chosen the morning plan.
It was a main option for me, so I decided to switch to the afternoon one, but they said it would just be a direct rescheduling, which frustrated me. When I complained, they said they would cover the costs.
The option I participated in was wonderful, but I felt that my limited time on this expensive trip was wasted on phone calls, I couldn't even have breakfast, and my original afternoon plans were ruined. Moreover, there was no response unless I took action myself. It’s truly sad and frustrating that such memories were left from this trip. I don't think I will use this company again.
I’m sharing this for reference, hoping no one else has to go through a similar experience.
参加前日集合場所の変更があったためそちらで待機していましたが送迎が来ず、登録した携帯に連絡が来ず、ツアー会社の電話にも数回したが繋がらず。40分後にようやく電話が通じ、事情を話すと
もう出てしまった、集合場所にいたのか? との対応。
確認後再度連絡すると言われたため部屋で待ったが30分経っても連絡なし。再度こちらから電話したら日本語のオフィスが8時から開くため連絡できなかったと。その時点で8時15分過ぎでしたが。
他の日、もしくは午後に振り返ると言われたが滞在日程ではその日の午後にしか振替できず朝とは違った昼食付きのプランになってしまった。
生後8ヶ月の赤ちゃん連れだったためシュノーケリングが出来ないし長時間は負担になってしまうからわざわざ朝のプランにしていたのに。
メインにしていたオプションだったので午後のに振り返ることにしたが、そのまま振替にするという対応だったので頭に来て文句を言ったら料金はこちらで負担しますと。
参加したオプションは素晴らしかったのだが、お金をかけて行った旅行の限られた時間を電話のやりとりで無駄にされ、朝食も食べれず、もともとの午後の予定もダメになった。そしてこちらからアクションをかけないと対応もなし。せっかくの旅行にこんな形で思い出が残ってしまったことが本当に悲しく腹立たしい。
もう二度とこの会社は使わないと思う。

I participated in a tour in July during the day. The weather was a bit rainy and somewhat cold, but we had fun playing underwater beach volleyball at the sandbar. After that, we moved to a point where we could see turtles and had hamburgers. We saw about ten turtles from the boat. They come up to the surface for a moment to breathe, so we only saw them briefly. After that, we went snorkeling. There were life jackets available, and there were also things like boogie board poles, so I felt safe doing it. There were a lot more fish underwater than I expected. We were even able to feed them bread, which was very satisfying. Finally, it cleared up, and we were able to see the beautiful sandbar!
7月の昼のツアーに参加しました。天気は雨も少し降っていて若干寒かったのですがサンドバーでは水中のビーチバレーをやって楽しめました。その後はハンバーガーを食べて亀が見えるポイントに移動。10匹ぐらいの亀を船の上から見ました。呼吸をするのに一瞬海面に上がってくるとのこと。なので見えたのも一瞬でした。その後はシュノーケリング。これはライフジャケットもあるしビート板のポールのようなものもあるので安心して出来ました。海中には予想してたよりも色々な魚が大量にいました。パンをあげることも出来て大満足。最後は晴れて綺麗なサンドバーも見ることが出来ました♪

This is my second time participating in this tour. The last time I came, the tide was high and the sandbar didn't appear, but this time I did my research and was able to see the sandbar. There are always sea turtles near the boat (they have names, but I forgot them), and you can definitely see them. They are friendly towards humans, so when you make gestures to feed them, they come close, which is adorable. I might go again just to see the honu! I really recommend this tour!
こちらのツアーに参加するのは2度目です。前回来た時は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが出現しなかったのですが、今回はちゃんと調べて行ったのでサンドバーを見る事ができました^^ボートの近くにはいつも海ガメがいて(名前がついてるんですが忘れました;)絶対見る事ができます。人間になついているので、餌をやる仕草をすると近くまで寄ってくるのが可愛いです^^ホヌ見たさにまた行くかもしれません笑 このツアー、本当にお勧めです!

As the title suggests, the staff was very cheerful and helped create a lively atmosphere, making for a very enjoyable tour. It was initially rainy and cold, but the weather finally cleared up by the time we arrived at the sandbar. It was our honeymoon, and the staff suggested various poses while taking some wonderful photos for us. The hamburgers were delicious as well. The snorkeling was a bit murkier than I expected, possibly because it had been raining.

We participated as a family in a wedding ceremony in Hawaii. It was a tour of the sandbar that I had always dreamed of, but unfortunately, due to high tide, the water was up to my chest. Additionally, it rained on the way there, and it was cloudy at the sandbar, so we couldn't see the beautiful scenery like in the pictures, which was disappointing. I would love to participate again.
The staff were very friendly, and the hamburgers we ate on the boat were delicious. At the sandbar, there were small, beautiful jellyfish, and I was really worried because I heard that getting stung can cause excruciating pain, even for adults. My brother, who is quite tough with pain, got stung, and he said it hurt a lot, so I was glad it wasn't my grandmother or sister (laughs).
While getting stung was unavoidable, the staff's quick response after finding the jellyfish was good. It was disappointing that we didn't see any sea turtles while snorkeling. Also, the air conditioning on the bus ride back was extremely cold, and with wet clothes, I felt like I was really freezing. It was so cold that I thought we didn't need air conditioning since we were already wet, but it was still very cold, which was the most disappointing part.
海外挙式でのハワイで、家族で参加しました。
憧れだったサンドバーのツアーでしたが、残念なことに満潮で胸下まで水がありました。また行きのバスの途中で雨が降っており、サンドバーでも曇りで写真で見るような景色は見れず残念でした。もう一度参加したいです。
スタッフさんはとても親戚で、船の上で食べるハンバーガーも美味しかったです。
サンドバーでは小さい綺麗なくらげがいて、刺されたら大人でも泣くこともある激痛と聞いてとても心配していました。刺されてしまったのが痛みに強い弟でしたが、かなり痛いようで祖母や妹でなくて良かった(笑)と言っておりました。
刺されたのは仕方ないですが、くらげを見つけた後のスタッフさんの対応も早くて良かったです。
シュノーケリング中にウミガメに会えなかったので残念です。
また、帰りのバスがすごーく冷房が効いており、濡れた服では寒くて本当に凍えそうでした。服が濡れているので冷房要らないんじゃ?というくらいなのに普通にしてても寒いくらい冷房が効いていたのが1番残念です。

I participated with my husband and our 5-year-old son.
On the day we attended, there were no sandbars, but there was a shallow area where adults could wade in up to their chests.
What surprised me was how accustomed the sea turtles seemed to people; they would come so close that I could touch them if I didn’t move away. While we were floating and playing, I noticed four or five dorsal fins about two meters away. Since we had gone snorkeling to see dolphins the day before, I rushed over, thinking, "Dolphins!" but the guide warned us, saying, "Shark! Shark! Shark!" It was terrifying to think that a shark larger than a person was so close, but looking back, I feel grateful for the rare experience.
The lunch was seasoned to suit Japanese tastes and was very delicious. My son, who loves rice, eagerly dug into the rice after a few days without it. Also, the salad they served right after we boarded the boat was still warm and incredibly tasty.
I deducted one star because the return bus was cold. There seemed to be no place to change, so we had to ride the bus wet, wrapped in beach towels, back to the hotel. It would have been nice if they could have given us some time to change, even if it was just at a restroom somewhere. Aside from that, it was a tour that I was very satisfied with, deserving of a full five stars.
I had a great time! Thank you very much.
*You need to take off beach sandals and Crocs when boarding the boat, but it seems you could wear aqua shoes. I noticed someone had injured their foot, so if you can, it's better to bring aqua shoes. They were selling them on the boat for $20. Disposable waterproof cameras were also available for $20. They were selling a photo collection taken by a photographer (probably given on a CD-R?), so even though there were no lockers, since everyone participating was Japanese, it’s a good idea to bring some cash with you.*
主人と5歳の息子と参加しました。
参加した日はサンドバーは出ていませんでしたが、大人が海に入って胸まで水がくるくらいまでの浅瀬が続いていました。
驚いたのは、ウミガメが人に馴れているのか、こっちが逃げないと触れるくらい近づいてくるほどでした。子供と漂って遊んでいると、2メートル先くらいに背びれが4つか5つ…。前日、イルカを見るシュノーケリングに参加していたので「イルカだ!!」と近寄っていくと、ガイドさんが「サメ!鮫!サメ!」と言って注意してくれました。人の身長よりも大きいサメがすぐそばにいたかと思うと恐ろしいんですが、今思うと貴重な体験ができたな~と感動しています。
昼食も日本人好みに味付けされていて、とても美味しかったです。
ごはんが好きな息子も、数日ぶりのお米にかぶりついていました。
あと、船に乗ってすぐに出してもらったマサラダもまだ温かくって、すごく美味しかったです。
星マイナス1にしたのは、帰りのバスが寒かった事くらい。
着替える場所が無いのか、濡れたままバスに乗りバスタオルをかぶってホテルまで帰ります。
どこかトイレでもいいので、着替える時間をとってもらえるとありがたかったです。
これを除けは、星満点くらい満足できたツアーでした。
楽しかったです!ありがとうございました。
《ビーチサンダルとクロックス等は船に乗る際に脱がないといけません。でも、アクアシューズなら履いていても良かったみたいです。足を怪我されていた方もいたみたいなので、用意できるならアクアシューズを持参した方が良いですよ。船の上でも20ドルで販売してました。使い捨て防水カメラも20ドルでした。カメラマンが撮ってくれる写真集みたいなの(たぶんCD-Rで渡されるのかな?)も販売されていたので、鍵付の荷物入れはなかったのですが、参加しているのは日本人ばかりだったので、多少のお金は持って行ったほうがいいですよ》

It was my first trip to Hawaii for our honeymoon! I really wanted to see a sandbar like in the pictures, so I checked the tide schedule on the website before going! As a result, it was a great decision! (*^^*) The white sandy beach and blue ocean were beautiful, creating a lifelong memory! I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays as well. I wished I could have snorkeled a bit longer, but since it was a morning-only tour, it couldn't be helped! The staff, including Yukiko, were all very kind! Overall, I would give it a perfect score of 100 points, but I think the satisfaction level can vary greatly depending on the tides and weather!
新婚旅行で初ハワイでした!どうしても写真のようなサンドバーが見たかったのでWebサイトで潮の満ち引きを確認してから行きました!結果、大正解!(*^^*)白い砂浜と青い海がキレイで一生の思い出になりました!海ガメも見れたしマンタも見ることが出来ました。シュノーケルはもう少し長くしたかったけど、午前中だけのツアーだったので仕方ありません!スタッフのyukikoさんはじめ皆さんとても親切でした!私は結果、100点満点ですが潮の満ち引きや天気によって満足度が大きく違ってくるツアーかなと思いました!

It's very beautiful. The water level changes depending on the time of day, so it might be a good idea to check in advance. When I went, the water was about knee-deep, but it was still enjoyable. The hamburger for lunch was also delicious. You can snorkel and swim over the coral. However, the visibility wasn't as good as I expected. You can see sea turtles from the boat.
とても綺麗です。時間帯により水位が変わるので、事前に調べて行った方が良いかも。

We really enjoyed visiting the sandbar and the coral reef--the coral was amazing and there were many tropical fish around, as well as several green turtles for those who got off the boat before everyone else. Turtle sightings around the area where they were supposed to be were somewhat disappointing. We were pleasantly surprised by the grilled cheeseburgers for lunch and unpleasantly surprised by having to pay for beers--for what we paid for the trip, a beer or two for free should have been provided

I checked the low tide in Hawaii before joining this tour. When the sun shines, the white sandbar floats up in the blue sea, and the contrast of blue and white is very beautiful. I saw many honu (sea turtles) and encountered beautiful fish while snorkeling. An extraordinary world unfolded before my eyes, and it was very healing. Joining this tour was definitely the right choice! Even now, I feel healed when I look at the photos of the sandbar.

I participated in the morning tour (*^^*) and saw plenty of sea turtles, plus the view of the sandbar was truly beautiful. However, it was quite cold because it was the rainy season and it rained a lot. But after we arrived at the sandbar, it cleared up.
We also had the opportunity to experience snorkeling. The underwater scenery was really beautiful, but it was a bit disappointing that there were not many fish and they were in deeper areas, making it hard to see them well ( ´△`). I also felt that the time was a bit short. I wish the snorkeling time had been a little longer and that we could have seen more fish.
However, the scenery is very beautiful and the ocean is lovely, so I think it's worth going to the sandbar.
午前中のツアーに参加しました(*^^*)ウミガメはいっぱい見れるし、サンドバーの景色は本当にキレイでしたが、雨季のため雨降ってたのでかなり寒かったです。
でもサンドバーに着いてからは晴れてました。
そしてシュノーケリングを体験させて頂きました海の中は本当にキレイでしたが、魚が少し少なかったのと深いところにいてあまりよく見えなかったのが少し残念でした( ´△`)またちょっと時間が短かったなぁと思いました。シュノーケリングの時間がもう少し長くて魚が見れたら良かったなぁと思いました。
ただ景色はとてもキレイだし海もキレイなのでサンドバーに行く価値はあると思います。

There were two boats, and the Japanese people gathered on one and boarded it. This made me feel quite secure participating in the tour. It was raining and the weather was bad, so the inside of the boat got a bit wet from the sideways rain and strong winds, making it very cold. It's better to bring an extra jacket or towel! There are no changing rooms, so you'll need to change in the restroom, so it's best to wear just your swimsuit that you can easily take off on the way there. ★ Even though the weather was bad, the sandbar looked beautiful. We were able to see several sea turtles! For lunch, the female captain cheerfully grilled hamburgers and served them fresh in sandwiches. ★ They were very delicious. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish!
On the way back, we couldn't all fit on one bus and had to wait quite a while for the next one, which made me worry about being late for the next tour I had booked. I wish they had better arrangements for the return transportation. By the way, you ride the bus back in your swimsuit, so the air conditioning makes it cold. Let's bring an extra towel!
船が2隻あり、日本人は1隻に集められ乗りました。なので、結構安心してツアーに参加することができました。雨が降っていて天気が悪かったので船の中は横雨と強風で多少濡れてとても寒かったです。羽織やタオルを余計に持って行ったほうがいいですよ!!更衣室がないので、トイレで着替える感じなので、行きは直ぐ脱ぐだけの水着着用で行ったほうがベストです★天気は悪いでしたが、サンドバーも綺麗にみえました。ウミガメも何匹も見ることができました!お昼のランチのハンバーガーも女性のキャプテン(船長さん)が陽気に楽しそうにハンバーグを焼いていて、焼きたてをサンドしてくれます★とてもおいしかったです。シュノーケルも魚が沢山いてとても楽しかったです!!
帰りのバス1台に乗りきれず、次が来る迄、結構待たされ次の予約していたツアーに間に合わないかもということがあったので、帰りの送迎までしっかりしてほしかったです。ちなみに帰りのバスは水着のまま乗るので、クーラーがきいてて寒いです。タオルを余計に持って行きましょう!!

I was moved when a sea turtle came by while I was snorkeling and I was able to swim close to it. The time I participated was such that I could barely keep my head above water, which was quite different from the sandbars I often see in photos, so I was a bit disappointed. I think it's better to check the timing before participating.
As for lunch, to be honest, it might not be very filling, so you may feel a bit unsatisfied. Overall, I don't have any major complaints, but I feel that the price is a bit high for this level of satisfaction.
シュノーケリング中にウミガメがやってきて近くで一緒に泳ぐことができ、感動しました(^^)
私が参加した時間は海で首がぎりぎり出せるくらいで、よく写真で見るサンドバーとはだいぶ違っていて残念でした。時間を調べてから参加された方がよろしいかと思います。
昼食ですが、正直あまりボリュームがないので物足りないかもしれません。全体的に、これといって不満はありませんが、この満足度でこの値段はちょっと高いような気もします。
Aloha! This is the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour.
It was truly lucky to swim with the sea turtles, which are said to bring happiness.
The sandbar shows various expressions depending on the day and time.
We hope you will visit again next time you come to Hawaii and experience a different side of the sandbar. We look forward to welcoming you, Ohana! Mahalo!
アロハ!キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。
幸せを運んでくれると言われるウミガメと一緒に泳げて本当にラッキーでしたね。
サンドバーはその日その時間によって様々な表情を見せてくれます。

I have participated in the Sandbar tour several times, but Captain Bruce's tour is definitely the best. The malasadas were delicious too. A sea turtle even came close to us, which was a delightful surprise. Honu is the best! I will definitely repeat this next time.
サンドバーのツアーには、何度か参加しましたが
キャプテン・ブルースのツアーが、やっぱり一番です。
マラサダも美味しかったです。
ウミガメも向こうから近づいてきて、嬉しいサプライズもありました
ホヌ最高! 次も、絶対リピします。

Amidst the busy weather of sunny, cloudy, and rainy spells throughout the morning, I participated in the morning plan.
We were picked up by a shared bus in front of each hotel. Our hotel received an early pickup, and I almost ended up being late because I was relaxing in the room, thinking it was just Hawaiian time (sweat).
We switched to a boat at the harbor. On that day, there were two boats, the Blue Boat and the Green Boat. The guide on the Blue Boat was a Japanese woman named Izumi. The captain and all the staff were women, creating a vibrant atmosphere. All the customers were Japanese, mostly couples and families, and everyone was calm and composed, which was nice (I’m not good with noisy environments…).
With a welcome drink and mini croissants or donuts, we felt relaxed both mentally and physically.
During the turtle watching, the current was too strong, and we couldn’t see any turtles. What a shame...
We quickly shifted our mood and moved to the sandbar. The sandbar was about knee-deep due to the tides, but it was truly amazing to be standing in the ocean while being out at sea. The scenery was wonderful and felt great. The water was surprisingly cold, but that’s just nature, so there’s nothing to be done about it.
If you ask the staff, they will take plenty of photos for you. However, be careful as cameras without waterproof features cannot be taken off the boat. It seems you can pay $45 for individual DVD shooting, so if it’s a honeymoon trip, I think it would be a good idea to request that.
Then came our main goal: snorkeling! While there weren’t colorful fish like in Okinawa, friendly turtles came and swam with us one after another. When I spotted a turtle napping among the reef, I felt like diving down even though I was wearing a snorkel. Sometimes, they almost bumped into me, and I thought, “Whoa!” (since touching them incurs a fine), it was truly a dreamy moment. I wished I could stay in the water forever.
After that, we got back on the boat for a light snack time. There were croissant sandwiches, salads, fruits, chocolates, cookies, and various drinks. The croissant sandwich was incredibly delicious. They said, “You can have as many as you want!” When it started to rain and I was cold and shivering, a hot coffee was the best thing ever.
When we returned to the hotel, it was still around 2 PM, so we could either go shopping or relax in Waikiki. Since we had a short stay, it was the right choice to use the morning plan effectively.
If I get the chance, I would definitely participate again. I want to see the shallow waters up to my ankles and the clear blue sea!
朝から晴れたり曇ったり雨降ったりの忙しい天気の中、午前プランに参加しました。
乗合バスで各ホテル前からピックアップ。我々のホテルには約束の時間より早めのお迎えでした。どうせハワイ時間だろうと部屋でのんびりしててうっかり遅れるところでした(汗)。
ハーバーで船に乗り換え。この日はブルー船とグリーン船の二隻でした。こちらのブルー船のガイドは日本人のイズミさん。キャプテンもスタッフも全員女性で華やかでした。お客さんは全員日本人でカップルやファミリーが多く、みなさん大人しく落ち着いてて良い感じ。(騒がしいのが苦手なので…。)
ウエルカムドリンクとミニクロワッサンorドーナッツで、気持ちも体もリラックス~。
カメさんウォッチングでは、潮の流れが速すぎてカメさんに会えませんでした。
残念。。。
気持ちを切り替え早々にサンドバーへ移動。サンドバーは潮の関係でひざ下位まであったけど、沖にいるのに海の中に立ててるなんて本当に不思議。景色も素晴らしく気持ちい~い。思いのほか水が冷たかったけど、それは自然のものですもの。しょうがないですね。
写真もスタッフに頼むとジャンジャン写してくださいます。ただ、防水機能のないカメラは船から持って出れないのでそこんとこ注意ですね。45ドル払うと個別にDVD用の撮影もして下さるようなので、新婚旅行とかだったらお願いした方が良いと思います。
それから、私達の一番の目的だったシュノーケリング!沖縄の海のようなカラフルなお魚達はいなかったけど、人懐っこいカメさん達が入れ替わり立ち代わり一緒に泳いでくれましたよ。リーフにまぎれて昼寝してるカメさんとか見つけると、シュノーケルつけてるのに潜ってしまいたくなったり。時にはあちらからぶつかりそうになって「おっと!」って感じになったりして(触ると罰金だもんね)、それはそれは夢のようなひとときでした。ずーっと水の中にいたかったなぁ。
その後は船に上がって軽食タイム。クロワッサンサンドやサラダ、フルーツやチョコやクッキー、ドリンクもいろいろありました。クロワッサンサンド、めっちゃおいしかったー。「おかわり自由よ!」とのことでした。雨が降ってきて濡れた体で寒くて凍えそうな中、ホットコーヒーが最高にうれしかったです。
ホテルに帰りついてもまだ14時くらいだったので、その後ショッピングに行くもよし、ワイキキでのんびりするもよし。滞在日数が少ない私達、一日が有効に使えるので午前プランで正解でした。
機会があったらぜひリベンジ参加します。足首までの浅さ&快晴の海を見てみたい~!

I was very satisfied.
The sandbar was disappointing as it was only knee-deep and didn't reach the land.
I was able to see many sea turtles and forgot to make a wish while watching them.
The snorkeling was beautiful with tropical fish gathering around.
I also enjoyed a delicious hamburger for lunch.
However, the sunburn afterward was quite severe...
For those who are going, make sure to take thorough sun protection measures.
I would definitely like to participate again if I have the opportunity next time.
大満足です。
サンドバーは、膝下ぐらいで陸にはなっておらず残念でした。
海亀はたくさん見ることができました、願い事を忘れてみていました。
シュノーケリングは、熱帯魚等が集まって綺麗でした。
お昼のハンバーガーもおいしくいただきました。
ただ、その後の日焼けが凄く大変でしたが・・・
これから行かれる方は、日焼け止め対策は万全にしましょう。
次回も機会があればぜひ参加したいと思います。

I participated in mid-December 2013. Since Heaven's Beach was fully booked, I chose this one, and I'm glad I did. The atmosphere was great, the hamburgers were delicious, and I had a wonderful time. The staff were all bright and friendly, and the captain was delightful.
I checked the low tide times and made a reservation, but due to the timing, the sandbar was shallow and the water was up to my ankles, so I couldn't see the beach. It's unfortunate, but there's nothing that can be done about it.
I encountered many turtles from the boat, and after getting excited, I went snorkeling. There were fewer fish than I expected, but I still got to see turtles while snorkeling.
I definitely recommend participating and enjoying it to the fullest!
2013年12月中旬に参加しました。
天国の海が満席だったため、こちらにしましたが、とても雰囲気は良いし、ハンバーガーは美味しいし、参加して良かったと思います。スタッフはみな明るくフレンドリーで、キャプテンも愉快。楽しい時間を過ごせました。
干潮の時刻を調べて予約しましたが、時期が悪かったため、サンドバーは浅くてもくるぶしまで水があり、砂浜を見ることはできませんでした。仕方がないですが、それが残念。
船上からたくさんのカメに出会え、テンションのあがったところで、シュノーケル。期待していたよりはお魚は少なかったですが、シュノーケルでもカメと出会えました。
是非参加して、存分に楽しんでください。
