I was really looking forward to the Heaven's Sea Tour and participated in it.
I chose the afternoon tour, but the water level was high, reaching chest level in some areas, so I couldn't take my camera into the sea, which was a bit disappointing.
It was early October, and it was a bit cloudy, so the water temperature was low. I wanted to go snorkeling, but unfortunately, I couldn't...
The BBQ meat was delicious.
This tour might be better in the morning.
天国の海ツアーは、とても楽しみにして参加しました。
午後からのツアーを選択しましたが、水位が上がっていて多いところで胸位まであり、カメラを持って海へ入る事ができず、少し残念でした。
10月初めでしたが、少し曇っていたこともあり、水温が低く、シュノーケルもしたかったのですが残念しました。。。
BBQのお肉は美味しかったです。
このツアーは午前がおススメなのかもしれません。

My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!

The sandbar was knee-deep in shallow areas, but it was very beautiful, and my two-year-old son was delighted to go into the sea. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made it a very memorable activity for my son.
サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらいの高さでしたが、とてもキレイで2歳の息子も喜んで海に入っておりました。
海がめも見ることができ、息子にはとても思い出深いアクティビティになったようです。

This is my second time! Two years ago, when I visited for my daughter's wedding in Hawaii, we chose a beach close to heaven as a family and relatives' memory. The beautiful cobalt blue sea, sea turtles, and coral reefs from that time are etched in my mind as precious memories. The DVD that captures those memories never gets boring, no matter how many times I watch it.
This time, it was a trip just for my wife and me. We quickly made a net reservation for the heavenly... and participated in the afternoon session on October 12. I also joined the snorkeling, which I couldn't do last time due to an injury on my eyelid, and enjoyed the coral reefs and beautiful schools of fish, as well as a delicious BBQ. The staff's response was also very pleasant!
I travel to Hawaii every year, and I would like to walk on the sandbar again next year.
今年で二度目!
一昨年、娘のハワイ結婚式で訪れたとき、家族・親族の思い出として、天国に近い海を選択し、あの時のコバルトブルーの美しい海・海ガメ・サンゴ焦は、とても貴重な思い出として瞼に焼き付いております。その思い出を凝縮したDVDは
何度見ても飽きません。
今回は、家内と二人旅でしたが、天国の・・・は早々とnet予約し、10/12の午後の部に参加、前回は瞼の上の怪我
で出来なかったシュノーケリングにも参加し、サンゴ焦・綺麗な魚群を堪能し、BBQも美味しく戴きました。
スタッフの対応も気持ち良かったですよ!
毎年ハワイ旅行しており、来年も又サンドバーを歩いてみたいと思ってます。

Honestly, I can't swim and I'm not good with the ocean (water). I thought, "I don't want to go," even before participating. However, as I got on the boat and moved forward, I was greeted with views I had never seen before. I didn't even have the time to raise my camera...
When we arrived at the sandbar, we went into the water. The water was deep enough to reach around the waist of a man in some places, and shallow enough to reach the knees in others. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. I've never seen anything like this! Even though I was scared, I wanted to get in the water! Even though I can't swim, the guides (a Japanese woman and a local woman) were watching over us closely.
We snorkeled right there, and in the deeper areas, we could see corals and fish. Since I can't swim, I snorkeled just before it got too deep.
If you're going to Oahu, Waikiki is a nice place, but I definitely recommend going to the sandbar at least once.
正直、泳げないし、海(水)が苦手。
参加する前から「行きたくない」と思っていました。
しかし、船に乗り、先に進むにつれて、
見た事の無い景色がドンドン目に入って来ました。
カメラを構える余裕もなく・・・
サンドバーに着き、水の中へ。
水深は深い所で男性の腰辺り。浅い所で膝辺り。
水は底が目で確認できるほど。
こんなの見た事ない!怖くても水に入りたい!
泳げなくても、しっかりとガイドの方(日本人のお姉さん&現地のお姉さん)が見ていてくれる。
その場でシュノーケルをするのですが、少し水深のある所で、サンゴ、魚などを見る事が出来ます。
泳げない私は深くなる手前でシュノーケルしました。
オワフ島へ行くのなら、ワイキキもいい所ですが、
一度はサンドバーに行く事をお勧めします。

I went on a summer limited Sunrise Tour! Exploring the beautiful sandbar and experiencing the sunrise in Hawaii is a rare opportunity, and since the plan has you returning in the morning (even though it's before dawn), I think it's a great way to make the most of your day! In our case, we had a schedule to leave Hawaii that afternoon, so we decided on it right away★ After returning to the hotel, we were quite rushed though.. lol
On the day of the tour, it seems there were very few waves, one of the calmest days of the year, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness, but it was quite cold~《>_<》A large bath towel provided by the hotel is a must. The snorkeling, which I was looking forward to, was unfortunately a bit disappointing due to low underwater visibility. There were some fish, but not many. By the way, it's fine for those who can't swim since life jackets are provided. However, as expected, if you want to go deeper on your own, you can't dive. lol
After that, we all searched for sea turtles from the boat, and they popped their heads up quite a bit and swam very close, which was really fun.
The views of the mountains at Kualoa Ranch were wonderful, but it was a bit cold for the season, and the snorkeling experience was somewhat disappointing. The staff were very friendly, and they took photos for us, plus the warm breakfast was delicious☆
夏限定!サンライズツアーに行ってきました!
綺麗なサンドバー散策もハワイでのサンライズもめったにできない経験だし、朝イチ(と言っても明け方前です)の集合から午前中には帰ってくるプランなので、1日を有意義に使えると思います!私達の場合は特にその日のお昼にハワイを発つスケジュールだったので即決でした★ ホテル帰着後かなり焦ることになりましたが・・w
当日は波が1年でも1,2を争うくらい無い日だったらしく、船酔いの心配は無かったのですが、いかんせん寒かった~《>_<》ホテルで貸し出してくれる大きなバスタオル必須です。
期待のシュノーケルは、意外と水中の透明度が低くて残念でした。魚もいるにはいるんですが多くないかな。 ちなみにライフジャケット着用のため、泳げない人でも大丈夫です。一方当然ですが深いところへ自主的に行こうと思っても潜れませんでしたw
その後、船上よりみんなで海亀を探しますが、ぽこぽこ海面へ顔を出してくれるし、すごく近くを泳いだりするのでとても面白かったです。
クアロア牧場の山々も望め、景色はすばらしかったのですが、時期的に寒かったのとシュノーケリングが少し残念な感じでした。
スタッフはとても親切で写真も撮ってもらえるし、温かい朝食はおいしく頂けました☆

It was truly a place overflowing with nature and nothing else. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and a bit chilly on the day we visited, and the tide wasn't low, but we were able to see turtles swimming along the way, and the staff were kind. Thank you, Hana.
I was looking forward to snorkeling, but I heard it was in a very deep area, so as someone who can't swim, I immediately gave up. (laughs)
Since lunch was included, I enjoyed that instead. The guava juice was refreshing and I recommend it. There was also grilled meat, chicken, salad, and fruit, all of which were delicious.
We had lunch on the boat, and a fish came up to the boat asking for food, which was really cute.
I went on September 30, and I was surprised to find that the weather in Hawaii can change quickly. I had the image of it being sunny all the time, but it rained quite a bit, and we even saw a rainbow. Thank you!

I participated on September 17. I had confirmed from reviews before my departure that even at low tide, the water would be about ankle-deep, but during this time of year, as shown in the photos, the sand was not exposed, and even at the lowest tide, it was about 5 centimeters above my ankles. However, the scenery of the surrounding area, which had nothing else, was absolutely stunning. Additionally, during the snorkeling afterward, I was satisfied to find a honu (turtle). (On the way back to shore, the staff suggested we look for honu first and took us through a spot where they are often seen, allowing us to see about five honu swimming in the sea.)
9月17日に参加しました。出発前から口コミ等で潮が引いても足首ぐらいというのは確認していましたが、やっぱり今の時期は写真のように砂は顔を出さず、一番引いているところでも足首の5センチぐらい上でした。でも、周りの何もないところの景色のよさは最高でした。また、その後のシュノーケリングでもホヌ(かめ)を見つけることができ満足でした。(岸に戻る時もスタッフの人がホヌ見てから帰りましょうと、よく出るスポットを通ってくれたので海に泳ぐホヌを5匹ぐらい見ることができました。)

We participated as a family. Since our children are small, we planned to skip snorkeling from the beginning, but we were very satisfied.
During the morning session, the water level was so high that the children couldn't reach it on their own, but it was still a very strange experience to be standing in the middle of the ocean.
Unfortunately, the weather wasn't very good, but as the guide explained, we were amazed by the change in the color of the sea from cloudy to sunny.
Also, seeing many sea turtles popping their heads up was a sight we had never seen before, and the kids were thrilled.
Although there wasn't a BBQ during the morning session, the meal provided was more than enough, and we were very satisfied.
The staff also made a great impression by working hard to ensure that participants had a good time.
Overall, we have no complaints.

Encountering sea turtles was a bit mysterious. As I quietly watched the surface of the sea, I saw turtles lifting their heads here and there. They were incredibly cute.
However, it was a little disappointing that, as I had known from the start, it was during a time when the tide was not completely out, so I couldn't see the sandbar like in the photos. Also, when I went snorkeling to the outer side of the reef, it seemed like there were fewer fish than I expected.
But the staff were very enjoyable and lively, which made for a satisfying experience.
ウミガメとの遭遇。少しミステリアスでした。静かに海面を見ているとあちらこちらから頭を持ち上げるウミガメ。何ともかわいらしかったです。

The dreamlike sandbar was amazing. Three years ago, I participated in a tour filled with activities in Kaneohe Bay. I heard there was a sandbar very close by, but I couldn't imagine it at all. When I actually went there, I realized it was very close to the previous location. I understood that the sandbar is right in the middle of the ocean.
The highlight of such tours is the personality of the staff. Everyone was so natural, blending into the Hawaiian atmosphere, which made it really enjoyable and allowed me to participate in a relaxed manner.

It was the most difficult activity to book in Hawaii. There are several sandbar plans offered by multiple companies, so I recommend making reservations early. At the sandbar, I enjoyed taking photos and snorkeling, but the plan I chose felt a bit short (about 30 minutes, I think), and the kids seemed to want to play a little longer.
I thought it would be good to plan accordingly, enjoying marine sports like snorkeling at Hanauma Bay and participating at the sandbar mainly for taking photos at this uniquely beautiful spot. The staff were friendly, and there were Japanese speakers, so I felt completely at ease without any language barriers.
It required careful consideration on how to spend the limited days in Hawaii, whether to enjoy the beautiful scenery or prioritize the kids' fun. I felt I could have planned a bit better. However, I think I was able to take many great photos. I say "think" because I used a film camera instead of a digital one. At the sandbar, I recommend using a disposable waterproof camera instead of a digital one, as there's no worry about it getting submerged.
ハワイのアクティビティでもっとも予約が困難なものでした。
Alan1さんの中でもいくつものサンドバープランが複数の催行会社から企画されているのでこれは早めの予約をお勧めします。
サンドバーでは、写真撮影やシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、私の選択したプランは、時間が短く(実感としては30分くらいかなあ)、子供たちは、もう少し長く遊びたかったようです。
ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングなどのマリンスポーツを楽しんで、サンドバーはこの世界的にも珍しいポイントとして写真に残すなどの目的で参加するなど、使い分けて計画したらよいかと思いました。
スタッフの方は親切で、日本人もいましたので、言葉の面で不自由なことは一切なく安心して楽しめました。
ハワイでの限られた日数をどのように過ごすか、きれいな景色を楽しむのか、子供たちの楽しみを優先するのか、十分な検討が必要でした。ちょっと検討不足でした。
でも、たくさんよい写真が取れたと思います。思いますというのはデジカメではなく、フィルムカメラで撮影したためです。
サンドバーでは、デジカメよりも使い捨ての防水カメラの方が水没させる心配もないのでお勧めします。

Quick and easy burgers, some fruit, sodas, etc. And of course, the snorkeling was beautiful! I would recommend it to anyone, of any age. If you can't swim, or haven't snorkeled, don't worry! They provide easy instructions to learn how to snorkel quickly, and they have both noodles and lifevests if you can't swim! You may even luck out and sight some sea turtles on your way to the reef!!! If you're considering this activity, go for it! You'll love it!

Walking in the middle of the ocean is a rare experience. The guide was supposed to be "English only," but on the day I participated, there was a Japanese guide on board after we got on the boat. Even though it was "English only," since the tour mainly involves getting on a bus, transferring to a boat, and entering the ocean, I think it's not too concerning even if you're not confident in your English skills.
It seemed that the sandbar was an island in the morning, but by the time we arrived, the tide was only up to our ankles. For those who are particular about landing on the island, it might be a good idea to check the tide levels before going. I recommend searching for tide level websites using keywords like "Oahu tide."
At the sandbar, you can enjoy activities like playing volleyball or practicing snorkeling at your leisure. My husband, who can't swim, seemed to gain confidence practicing snorkeling there. While we were having fun, the staff called out to each group, saying, "I'll take your picture!"
At the sea turtle point, dozens of turtles showed their faces. The cheeseburger we had on the boat was the best. Next time, I definitely want to participate again, aiming for low tide.
海の真ん中を散歩するなんてことは、なかなか体験できません。

「英語のみ」でも、バスに乗って船に乗り換えて海に入るだけなんですから、英語に自信がなくともさほど心配がないツアーの内容ではないかと思います。
サンドバーは午前中は島になっていたようでしたが、私たちが到着した頃は足首位の潮位でした。島への上陸にこだわる方は、潮位を調べてから行くと良いのではないか、と思います。「oahu tide」などのキーワードで潮位を調べるサイトを検索すると良いと思います。
サンドバーではバレーボールやシュノーケリングの練習など、好きに過ごすことが出来ます。
泳げない主人はここでシュノーケリングの練習をして自信をつけたようです。
遊んでいるときに、スタッフさんが「写真をとってあげるよ~」とそれぞれのグループに声を掛けていました。
海ガメポイントでは、何十匹ものカメが顔を見せてくれました。
船上で食べるチーズバーガーは最高です。
今度は干潮の時間帯を狙ってぜひまた参加したいです。

I participated in the afternoon tour. The tide was high, and it was quite a challenge to walk on the sandbar. The barbecue lunch was delicious. They provided us with wetsuits, so I wasn't cold, but those who weren't wearing them looked chilly.
午後のツアーに参加しました。潮が満ちて、サンドバーを歩くのもアップアップでした。バーベキュウランチは、美味しかったです。ウエットスーツを貸していただいたので寒くありませんでしたが、着ていない人は寒そうでした。

I participated on the morning of July 14th. A stunning sandbar appeared in the midst of a deep blue sky, pure white clouds, and the ever-changing blue ocean! It was a beautiful scene unlike anything I had ever seen before, making me question whether it was a dream or reality. It was a miraculous landscape created over many years. I was thrilled to see the honu (sea turtles) up close and had an amazing time. The malasadas were also very delicious.
7/14午前に参加しました。真っ青な空、真っ白な雲と変化するたくさんの青の海の中にサンドバーが見事に出現!!今まで自分が見たことのない、夢なのか現実なのかわからないような美しい景色が広がりました。長い年月の中から生み出された奇跡の風景です。ホヌもまじかに見ることができて大感激の時間を過ごしました。マラサダもとてもおいしかったです。

I initially booked this event for my ten- and seven-year-old grandkids. However, it turned out to be a terrific day for all three generations. The friendly crew of the Barefoot I made us feel welcome from the time we arrived at the dock. It was a very windy day, but, the catamaran was steady. The energetic, enthusiastic and entertaining crew covered the basics of snorkeling and equipment during our ten-minute cruise to the submerged sandbar in the middle of beautiful Kaneohe Bay. The sandbar stop was the perfect opportunity for first time snorkelers to practice in a comfortable environment and the waist-deep volleyball was a real hoot! The crew grilled our burgers and served lunch at the sandbar. Much to our surprise and delight our cruise director, Jenner, serenaded us with voice and guitar while we ate. During the ten minute sail to the snorkel site we saw a dozen or so green sea turtles. The beautiful coral reef was in a very isolated area in crystal clear waters. The area was teem
