The weather was great, the beautiful sea was visible, and I was able to swim, so it was GOOD. The staff also helped create a fun atmosphere. The BBQ was delicious.
However, if I participate next time, I would like to request the following improvements.
For the program that involves walking down to the beach, please provide marine shoes. A friend cut their foot. (After that, we couldn't enjoy free sightseeing or sports.) I believe entering the sea barefoot is unsafe. I participated with marine shoes (I was the only one).
During snorkeling, there were no fins available for rent. Without fins, it's difficult to move as desired, so it wasn't enjoyable. Also, since everyone was wearing life jackets, we couldn't dive and were just floating.
If these two points could be improved, I would like to participate again next time. Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles.
P.S. Everyone participating was very nice. Thank you. Thank you to the staff.
天気に恵まれ、美しい海が見れ、泳げましたので、GOODでした。スタッフさんも、雰囲気を盛り上げてくれて楽しめました。BBQもおいしかったです。
但し 次回参加するとしたら、次の改善をお願いします。
歩いて、ビーチに下りるプログラムでは、マリンシューズの用意をお願いします。友人が足を切りました。(以降自由な観光、スポーツが出来ませんでした)基本的に素足で海に入ることは、安全上NGと考えています。自分はマリンシューズを持って参加しました。(唯一私のみ)
スノーケリングの時、足ひれの貸し出しがありませんでした。足ひれがないと、思うように進みませんので楽しめません。且全員ライフジャケット着用なので、もぐりが出来なく、ただ浮かんでいる状態です。
2点改善していただければ、次回も参加したいと思います。
海がめは、残念ながら見れませんでした。
追伸 参加されている方は、皆さんとても良い感じの方でした。ありがとうございました。
スタッフさんありがとうございました。

The weather was nice, and the heavenly sea was very beautiful. The staff was also very fun and attentive. The sandbar had water up to about my knees, but it was really beautiful, and the good weather was a plus. I saw about four turtles. During snorkeling, the first time there were too many people, so I couldn't see well, but those who wanted to could go a second time, and since there were few participants, I was able to enjoy it quite freely. There were fewer fish, but it was enjoyable. The BBQ was just delicious.
天気も良く、天国の海はとってもきれいでした。
スタッフもとても楽しく、すごく気遣ってくれる方たちでした。
サンドバーは膝下くらいまで水がある程度でしたが、本当にきれいでしたし、天気も良くて良かったです。亀も4頭くらい見れました。
シュノーケリングでは1回目は人が多くてあまりよく見れませんでしたが、希望者は2回目に行けて、希望者が少なかったので、割と自由に楽しめました。魚は少なめですが、楽しめます。
BBQは普通においしかったです。

I participated with my 4-year-old and 1-year-old! We got to see sea turtles, and although the water was a bit deep, we were able to go in and even made a DVD (^-^). This became the most fun memory of our trip to Hawaii!
Even though my kids couldn't go snorkeling, they were satisfied watching the pufferfish and stingrays that gathered around the boat! The BBQ was delicious, and my daughter, who usually dislikes meat, was devouring it!
My shy and timid daughter seems to have the best memories from this experience (^^). Joe?! He was really funny and high-energy♪ I saw him later in Waikiki and tried to call out to him, but he didn't notice me... (T▽T). He was running towards someone else (laughs). I absolutely want to participate again!
4歳1歳の子供と一緒に参加させてもらいました!
海がめも見れたし少し深かったですが海にも入れDVDを作ってもらいました(^-^)
今回のハワイで1番楽しい思い出になりました!
子供はシュノーケリングはできないものの船に集まってきたフグとエイを見れ満足してました!BBQもおいしくって肉キライの娘がお肉をバクバク食べてました!
人見知りでビビリの娘も1番思い出に残ってるようです(^^)

It was a very fulfilling experience! The staff were incredibly kind, cheerful, and attentive. The BBQ was delicious, and seeing the sea turtles made it the best day ever! I was also glad to finally try Leonard's malasadas. My husband, who joined me, had a great time and is already excited to participate in this tour again when we go to Hawaii next time! The only downside was that we didn't see many fish while snorkeling, but they taught us how to snorkel carefully, so I felt safe diving in! Thank you for everything!

I was half excited and half anxious about whether I could really go snorkeling, but the staff were so nice that I felt at ease. Moreover, they were very kind to the children, and it seems they had a great time. It was a valuable experience.
As for the barbecue, my expectations were a bit too high, so it was somewhat disappointing, but I was glad to have something warm to eat. However, it was cramped, making it difficult to go for seconds or leave. It can't be helped...
Thank you very much.
My child sends their regards to Norio.
楽しみ半分、私にも本当にシュノーケリングできるのか不安半分でしたが、なんといってもスタッフがいい人で安心してできました。しかも、子供に対しても非常にやさしくて大変楽しめたようです。貴重な経験でした。
バーベキューは、あまりに期待が大きすぎていまいちでしたが、暖かいものが食べれてよかったです。ただ、狭くておかわりにいったり、帰ったりが大変でした。仕方ありませんが・・・

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first visit to this particular place. As I had heard, it was truly wonderful.
(Good points)
1. The unique location is truly remarkable. Surrounded by beautiful seas and the mountains of Hawaii, with white sand, it was really a mysterious and lovely place.
2. I appreciated how the female staff genuinely cared about making everyone enjoy their time. After all, it's the experiences we create that become memories, so in that sense, it was very good.
3. The lunch in the afternoon was not just a typical tour add-on; it was well-prepared and delicious.
4. Three rays approached the boat asking for food. It was my first time seeing rays up close, and I was thrilled.
(Not-so-good points)
1. The public restroom at the port was a bit... even men would want to hold it in. Since there are no other options, the likelihood of needing to use it is high, so I wonder if something can be done about that.
2. The weather on the day I visited wasn't great, and the sky was quite cloudy. As a result, the sea was also cloudy (reflecting the sky), which diminished the excitement. During snorkeling, it was disappointing that visibility wasn't very good.
3. Similarly, since the weather was not ideal, the women were particularly shivering when they got out of the water. It would be best to prepare bath towels or windbreakers as much as possible.
4. I don't think anyone would compare it to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, but compared to that, there weren't as many fish (during my visit). So, for those who know about it, don't have such expectations...
5. Even though it's called white sand, there are slightly pebbly areas, so it's not completely sandy.
Those who only skim through the not-so-good points might lose their motivation to go, but these are just minor issues. I think it was worth going. Just to be clear.
ハワイは何度も来ていますが今回初めて行きました。聞いていたとおりとても素晴らしいところでした。
(良かったところ)
1.何といっても珍しいそのロケーション。綺麗な海、ハワイの山々に囲まれ、白い砂、本当に不思議な、素敵な所でした。
2.スタッフの女性が本当にみんなを楽しませようと気遣いがうれしかったし、良かったです。所詮人間って場所は当然として、その時の体験で想い出を作っていくと思うのでそういう意味でもとても良かったです。
3.午後のランチは、良くありがちなツァーのおまけレベルではなくきちんとしていて美味しかったですよ。
4.エイがボートに近寄ってエサをねだっていました(3匹)。エイを近くで見たのは初めてだったので感激しました。
(良くなかったところ)
1.港の公衆トイレがちょっと・・・で、男でさえ我慢したくなる程でした。他にないため利用する機会確率が高いのでこれはどうにかならないものかと。
2.行った日の天気があまり良くなくて空は曇りがちでした。そのため海も(空を映すので)曇っていて、感激が半減という感じでした。スノーケリングの時もあまり深いところまで見えにくく残念でした。天候はどうにもならないですが、晴れた時との違いがとても大きいと感じました。
3.同じく、天気がいまいちだったので水から上がった時、特に女性陣が震えていました。できるだけバスタオルか風よけ上着等を準備しておいた方が良いです。
4.オーストラリアのグレートバリアリーフと比べる方はいないかと思いますが、それと比べたら魚はそんなに多くいませんでした(私の時)。なので、それを知っている人はそんな期待はしないように・・・。
5.白い砂といっても微妙に小石はあるので完全な砂ではないですよ~。
良くなかったところだけつまみ読みした方は行く気を失せてしまうかもしれませんが、これは”あえて言うなら・・・”というレベルです。私は行って良かったと思っています。念のため。

The sandbar and the ocean were truly beautiful. I was moved to see the colors of the ocean change for the first time. I also got to see many honu (turtles), and they were adorable. The water level at the sandbar was up to my waist (and the water temperature was cold), so walking was a bit challenging, but it's not every day you get to walk in such a beautiful ocean, so I enjoyed it. The snorkeling was great too; I saw a lot of fish. The BBQ lunch had plenty of delicious meat cooked right on the spot. It was just as good as Yummy Korean BBQ. The staff were all wonderful people. I will definitely participate again next time!
サンドバー・海、本当にキレイだった。海の色が変わるところを始めてみたので感動しました。ホヌさん(カメ)もたくさん見れて可愛かった。サンドバーは、腰くらいまで潮位があったので(水温も冷たくて)歩くのが大変でしたが、あんなにキレイな海を歩くことはそんなに出来ることじゃないので、楽しめました。シュノーケリングも魚をたくさん見られて良かったです。ランチのBBQは、その場で焼いてくれたお肉がたくさんあって美味しかった。ヤミーコリアンBBQに負けないくらいです。スタッフの方もみんな良い人ばかりです。次回も必ず参加します!

The weather was somewhat okay with strong winds, cold temperatures, and a mix of sunshine and clouds, but since I checked the low tide times and participated, a wide sandy beach appeared on the sandbar, and it was incredibly beautiful.
A beach emerged in the middle of the sea, surrounded by very clear water, and I was moved by the scenery I had never seen before.
The snorkeling was cold, but I was able to borrow a wetsuit, so I could swim without feeling too cold. I was excited to see many larger fish than I expected.
They provide life jackets, so even if you can't swim, you can still snorkel. My 8-year-old and 5-year-old children participated as well, but when it came to snorkeling, they started to get scared of swimming in water where they couldn't touch the bottom, and I thought they would have to give up. However, the staff kindly prepared a small inflatable boat, allowing the children to clearly see the fish in the water from the boat.
I am very grateful for their kindness. We were able to see about 15 sea turtles, right in front of us. Those who entered the water early were able to swim together with them.
It might be a bit cold at this time of year, but I was able to see the best scenery that you can't see in Japan and had a wonderful time swimming with the fish.
風が強くて寒くて晴れたり曇ったりで、天候はまぁまぁでしたが干潮の時間を調べて参加したためサンドバーの砂浜が広範囲に現れ、最高にきれいでした。
海の真ん中に砂浜が現れ、まわりはとてもきれいな海で見たことのない景色に感動しました
シュノーケルは、寒かったのですがウエットスーツを貸してもらえたので泳ぐときは寒い思いをせずやることができました。
思っていたより大きな魚が沢山見れ興奮しました。
ライフジャケットを貸していただけるので、泳げなくてシュノーケルできます。
8歳と5歳の子供も参加しましたが、シュノーケルになると足の届かない海で泳ぐことを怖がり始め、断念せざるおえないと思っていましたが、スタッフの方が小さいビニールボートを用意してくださって、子供もボートの上から海の中の魚をはっきり見ることができました。
とても親切にしてくださり感謝しています。
海亀も15匹くらい見ることができました。
それも目の前で。
早く海に入った人は、一緒に泳ぐこともできました
今の時期、少し寒いかもしれませんが、日本では見れない最高の景色を見れ、魚と泳ぐことができ楽しい思いをすることができました。

I was originally scheduled to participate on February 27, but due to a tsunami warning from the earthquake in Chile, I had to cancel... I ended up being stuck in the hotel during such nice weather, but when I called Alan and the tour company, they were very accommodating and I was able to reschedule for March 1. Thank you very much!
The sea in heaven is truly blue! Emerald! It was so beautiful! However, the wind was really strong, and the captain seemed to be in a good mood, saying, "The wind is strong!" (laughs). Even though I was shivering, I enjoyed the heavenly sea in the area where the tide had receded. The white sand was probably affected by the wind, as there wasn't much, but I will never forget the excitement of standing in the blue sea.
For snorkeling, since the wind was strong and the current was fast, I couldn't swim, so I just watched from the boat, but that alone was satisfying. Next time, I will practice swimming! I was able to see turtles about ten times from the boat. The food was delicious, and the crew was entertaining, so I was very satisfied!
I hope to go again on a really sunny day! Thank you!
本当は2月27日に参加予定だったのですが、チリの大地震による津波警報が出てキャンセルに…
すごくいい天気の中ホテルに監禁状態になってしまい、Alan1さんや、催行会社に電話をしたら、とても良い対応をしてくれて、3月1日に日を変えて参加することが出来ました^^ありがとうございました!

We went as a family of eight. It was really cold on the day of our visit, and most people rented wetsuits. I was looking forward to snorkeling, but unfortunately, the weather made the waves too strong, which was difficult for beginners, so I couldn't do it. Later, when I asked another tour guide, they told me that the sandbar isn't a place for snorkeling. When I did it in Guam before, there were no waves and no coral, so I could just float around, but it seemed like you had to swim here, which was disappointing.
However, my 81-year-old grandmother had never been in the ocean until this year, and she enjoyed her first experience while wearing a wetsuit. The sandbar had quite a low tide, so all eight of us held hands and jumped together, making it a really fun family trip.
家族8人で行きました。
当日はとっても寒くて、ほとんどの人がウエットスーツを借りてました。私はシュノーケリングを楽しみにしてたのですが、あいにくの天候で波の流れが早く初心者には難しくて出来ませんでした。あとでほかのツアーのガイドさんに聞いたら、サンドバーではシュノーケリングやるところじゃないよ~って言われました。前にグアムでやったときは全然波のないサンゴなどもないところで囲いをつけてやったので、ぷかぷか浮いてるだけだったので私でも出来ましたが、ここでは泳げないとダメみたいで残念でした。
でも、81歳のおばあちゃんはこの年まで海に入ったことがなかったそうで、ウエットスーツ着ながら初体験を楽しんでいました。
サンドバーは潮がけっこう引いてたので、8人全員で手をつないでジャンプしてとっても楽しい家族旅行になりました。

On our first trip to Hawaii, we found a plan that allowed us to enjoy the beautiful ocean, snorkeling, and sea turtles. On the day we participated, there was a Japanese guide who was very friendly. The crew was also cheerful, making for an exciting sailing experience.
The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, even more so than in photos, and playing volleyball there was the best. Although we didn't speak any English, it was true that "expressions speak louder than words."
There seem to be mixed opinions about the lunch, but the freshly grilled patties in burgers on the boat were fantastic for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was still very appealing, even though it was a bit cold.
Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this activity in terms of price, staff, and content. We were even generous with the tips (laughs). Thank you very much!

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first experience at a sandbar. Even though it's offshore, the sand made from crushed coral allows you to stand. It's surprising that not only can you stand, but it feels like just the tips of your feet are in the water. Standing in the middle of the ocean is astonishing. I think you may have seen it in TV commercials. Experiencing it in person was incredibly moving. I had fun playing beach volleyball with foreign staff and guests near the sandbar. Since I was the only Japanese participant, I hope more shy Japanese people will join in. We spent 45 minutes on the sandbar. While moving by boat to the snorkeling spot, I saw many green sea turtles coming up to the surface to breathe. It's reassuring that the staff swims with you during snorkeling. A lot of fish came to the bait, making for a fun time. It seems that even first-time snorkelers can enjoy it.
ハワイは何十回も行っていますが、サンドバーへ行ったのは初めての体験でした。サンゴが波で砕けてできた砂が積って居るのは沖合なのに足が立ちます。足が立つどころか足の先だけが海中にある感じで驚きます。海のど真ん中に立っているのは驚きです。テレビのCMとかで見たことあると思います。実際に体験するとそれはスゴイ感動モノでした。サンドバーのそばで外国人スタッフの人と海外からのお客さんと一緒にビーチバレーをして楽しみました。日本人はわたし一人だけの参加だったので、引っ込み思案な日本の人たちも参加してほしいなあと思いました。サンドバーでは45分間上陸していました。シュノーケルする場所へ船で移動してるときは、ミドリウミガメが水面にいっぱい顔を出して息継ぎしている姿がドンドン見れました。シュノーケルの時にはスタッフも一緒に泳いでいるので安心です。餌に魚がイッパイ寄ってきて楽しい時間でした。シュノーケル初体験者も楽しめるようですよ。

I participated in the sandbar for the first time. It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the Waikiki hotel to the Kaneohe pier. After getting off the bus, I transferred to a boat to go. The foreign male staff on the bus shared interesting stories, so I wasn't bored. While on the boat to the sandbar, the staff sang songs for us. There were many foreign participants, but there were also Japanese female staff who provided explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. When we boarded the boat and saw Chinaman's Hat, we arrived at the sandbar. This time, the water depth was about 20 centimeters. It was fun to play volleyball in the middle of the ocean. For those who were snorkeling for the first time, they allowed practice there. After that, we returned to the boat for lunch. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious. Drinks were also free and unlimited. After that, we moved by boat to another snorkeling spot. During the transfer, we were able to see many turtles, which was enjoyable. When snorkeling, feeding the fish attracted a lot of them, and I was able to swim happily over the coral.
サンドバーに初めて参加しました。
ワイキキホテルからバスでカネオヘの桟橋まで30分ぐらいで到着します。バスを降りて桟橋から船に乗り換えて行きました。バスの中でも外国人男性のスタッフが面白い話をしてくれて退屈しません。船でサンドバーに行く間もスタッフが歌を歌ってくれます。外国人の参加が多いですが日本人女性のスタッフもいますから日本語説明してくれますので安心です。船に乗ってチャイナマンズハットが見えてくるとサンドバーに到着しました。今回は20センチくらいの水深でした。

It's not like the shallow waters in Japan; in the morning, due to the tides, the sand doesn't show, so you definitely have to walk in the areas where the tide has gone out.
I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the BBQ was delicious—I'll definitely go again!

I researched the data and it was perfectly low tide, so I participated in the afternoon BBQ tour. The staff created a fun atmosphere, and I ended up having a great time. The BBQ lunch was unexpectedly delicious, and I even encountered sea turtles while snorkeling.
At Sandwalk, we had plenty of time, and the staff took photos of all the participants and uploaded them to the website, so I was able to see them right after returning home, which helped me recall the enjoyable time we had. It not only reminded me of our experience but also of the other participants, making it even more memorable.
If I could wish for something, I would like the snorkeling time to be longer. While I understand the importance of the explanations, I felt they were a bit lengthy. They are necessary for beginners, but not for those who are more experienced. Perhaps grouping participants according to their skill levels would be a good idea.
Also, one of the photos taken is sold, but I was disappointed because I thought it would be a larger size, not the standard size. Honestly, $10 is quite expensive for that, especially since the backing is very plain.
Overall, I really enjoyed the content and felt it was worth participating in.
データを調べてバッチリ干潮時だったので、午後のBBQツアーに参加しました。スタッフの方の楽しい雰囲気作りにいつの間にか乗せられてとても楽しむことができました。予想以上に美味しかったBBQランチ、シュノーケルでは海亀とも出会えました。

欲を言えば、シュノーケルの時間をもっと長く取れると良いなと思います。大切だとは思いますが、説明時間が長いと思いました。初心者には必要ですが、慣れている方には不要ですから。
力量に合わせてグループ分けしてはどうでしょうか。
また、撮ってくれた写真1枚は販売されますが、普通サイズではなく一回り大きなサイズだと思っていたのでがっかりしました。

I circled around Oahu, and the sandbar was the most beautiful and left the biggest impression on me. There were about 20 participants, and among them, there were 7 Japanese, including us, and there was also a Japanese staff member, which made me feel very secure.
Standing in the shallow waters in the middle of the ocean was a surreal sight, and enjoying beer and BBQ while looking at the scenery of the sea transitioning from transparent to a light turquoise blue was pure happiness. We also played beach volleyball with a net set up, and I was able to have fun interacting with foreign participants despite the language barrier.
Photos taken from any angle and of any person turned out beautifully. Moreover, it wasn't just that; we also had opportunities for sea turtle watching and snorkeling, making it an absolutely perfect tour. I highly recommend it!

Hawaii is not just Oahu. Indeed, the Big Island is different. The sheer size and wonder of its natural beauty left me in awe. Seeing the flow of lava with my own eyes overwhelmed me with the differences compared to Japanese volcanoes. This is a sight that you can only understand by seeing it; the scale is indescribable. The schedule of leaving at 5 AM and returning at 8 PM was certainly tough. However, upon arriving at Kona Airport and making my way back from Hilo Airport, I truly felt the vastness and simplicity of the Big Island, and I sensed that I would choose to stay on the Big Island for my next trip. It was disappointing that the lava flow had stopped, but I look forward to the next time.

確かに朝5時出発で午後8時帰着のスケジュールは大変でした。
しかし、コナの空港に着き、ぐるっと回ってヒロの空港からの帰路でしたが、ハワイ島の大きさと素朴さを実感し、次回からの旅行にハワイ島での滞在を選択させる予感を覚えました。
溶岩の流れが止まっていて残念でしたが、次回に期待したいです。

I participated at the end of January.
The time spent on the boat was shorter than I expected, and although I took motion sickness medication just in case, I didn't really need it.
The sandbar was shallow, about 10 centimeters below my knees. Surrounded by the ocean in all directions, the view was absolutely stunning and I was moved!
There were about five groups of Japanese people, but more than half were foreigners. There were also staff members who spoke Japanese and were very kind, reaching out to us. I don't understand English, but the foreign staff's vibe was really fun and enjoyable.
I was excited to see sea turtles swimming and took photos of them.
After that, we moved to the snorkeling spot, but I felt the water temperature was low, so I enjoyed sunbathing on the boat while watching. That was also pleasant and enjoyable.
I think anyone who hasn't experienced a sandbar before would have a great time!
If I go again, I would like to visit in the summer and try snorkeling again.
1月の終わりに参加しました。
ボートに乗っている時間も思っていたよりも短くて
念の為酔い止めを飲みましたが、必要なかったなと思いました。
サンドバーは浅いところでひざ下10センチ位でした。
360度海に囲まれて景色はとても最高で感動しました!
日本人5組程で半数以上は外人の方ばかりでしたが、
日本語の話せるスタッフの方もいてとても優しく
声をかけてくれました。
英語は分からないですが、外人のスタッフの方のノリが
とてもおもしろくて楽しめました。
海亀が泳いでいる姿も見れ、興奮して写真とりました。
その後、シュノーケルスポットへ移動しましたが
私は水温が低く感じてボートの上で日光浴をしながら
見ていましたが、それはそれで気持ちよくて楽しめました。
まだサンドバーを経験したことの無い人なら楽しめると思います!
次回行くならば、夏に行ってシュノーケルをリベンジしたいです。

I participated with my mother on our first overseas trip together. Since my mother is over 60, I was a bit worried about whether she would enjoy it among the younger participants, but thanks to the fun guidance from the staff and the stunning beauty of the ocean, those worries disappeared. We had a great time. My mother, who can't swim, stayed on the boat during the snorkeling time, but she was able to enjoy the beautiful sea without getting seasick. I was truly glad that we didn't switch to a cheaper company after hearing that Captain Bruce's boat is the only one that can land on the sandbar. Thank you very much!
初海外の母と二人で親子参加しました。
還暦を過ぎた母ですし、若い人たちの参加の中で楽しめなかったらどうしよう~~と、少し不安でしたが、スタッフの方の楽しい案内や、あまりの海の綺麗さにそんな不安はどこへやら・・・。
とっても楽しかったです。
泳げない母は、シュノーケルの時間はずっと船の上でしたが、それでも船酔いすることなく、綺麗な海を堪能できたようでした。
キャプテンブルースの船が、唯一サンドバーに上陸できると聞いて、破格の値段の会社に乗り換えずによかった~~と心から思いました。
本当にありがとうございました!

We participated as a family of four, consisting of a senior couple and two daughters. The activity included transportation, and when we got off the bus that picked us up at the meeting point, we were greeted by a captain with a stern face. However, his eloquence drew us in and made us laugh, making the approximately 45-minute ride to the dock feel short.
Upon arriving at the sandbar on our private boat, I was amazed to discover such a place in the middle of the spacious Kaneohe Bay… it felt like a miracle of nature. With waves breaking on the distant reef and the green mountains and islands surrounding the bay, there’s no other place where you can relax like this.
Previously, I always went to Hanauma Bay for its coral sea, but the coral I saw while snorkeling here was all alive. The variety of colorful fish and coral is incredible, and I highly recommend bringing a waterproof camera. We also saw many HONU (turtles), so there’s no doubt you’ll have a great time.
Unfortunately, when we participated, it was during a full moon, and the water depth was about 10-15 cm. If you want to fully enjoy the white sandbar, it seems best to check the tide and go around the middle of the new moon and full moon. I also appreciated the captain's singing (he was referred to as the general)… it was a delightful experience.
シニアの夫婦と娘2人の家族4人での参加です。
送迎付のアクティビティ、集合場所に迎えに来てくれたバスから降り立ったのは、厳つい顔のキャプテン?。
でもその饒舌なこと、話に引き込まれたり笑わせられたりで、船着き場までの約45分が短く感じられました。
そして、専用ボートで到着したサンドバー。
広々としたカネオヘ湾の真ん中に、こんな場所があるなんて…大自然の奇跡です。
遠くにリーフでくだける波、湾を囲む緑の山々と島、こんなにのんびりとできる場所は、他には無いのでは。
今まで珊瑚の海ということで、ハナウマ湾へ行くのが常でしたが、シュノーケルで見た珊瑚は、全てが生きている珊瑚。
様々な色の魚と珊瑚、絶対に防水のカメラを持って行くことをお勧めします。
HONU(亀)も数多く見ることができ、楽しめること間違いなしです。
ただ残念なことに、参加したときは満月の時期、10~15cmほどの水深でした。
ホワイトサンドバーを十分に楽しみたいときは、潮の満ち引きの確認を、新月と満月のちょうど真ん中が良いようです。
キャプテン(ジェネラルと言われていた)の歌にも…感謝です。楽しませていただきました。

As soon as we set off by boat, the view of the Ko'olau mountain range from the sea is truly majestic, just as it has been featured in movies and dramas. The sandbar was incredibly beautiful and exceeded my expectations. There were areas shallow enough to reach my ankles. Sitting there felt a bit like being in a hot spring... There was also a Japanese guide, so even if you don't understand English, you can feel at ease, and I was very satisfied. At the sandbar, we could play volleyball and practice snorkeling for about an hour, and just relax. You can also enjoy drinks (for a fee). The hamburger for lunch was delicious. During this season, it can get a bit chilly when it's cloudy, so we Japanese wore long-sleeved parkas and covered ourselves with beach towels. We were able to warm up with hot drinks. I felt a bit disappointed that the snorkeling might have been clearer if the sun had been out. However, as a beginner, I felt safe jumping in because there were life jackets available. They throw food into the water while you're swimming, so you can see plenty of fish. I was able to see a turtle floating on the surface of the water from the boat. It was so cute. Thank you for a very enjoyable and healing experience.
ボートで出発してすぐに海からみるコオラウ山脈は映画やドラマの舞台となっているだけあって、荘厳な姿が目に焼き付きます。サンドバーはとてもきれいで想像以上でした。足首くらい浅いところもありました。座っていると若干温泉気分に。。。日本人のガイドさんもいて英語がわからなくても安心、大満足です。サンドバーでは小一時間くらいバレーボールやシュノーケルの練習、ゆっくりすることができます。お酒も(有料ですが)楽しめます。ランチのハンバーガーもおいしかったです。この季節は曇ると少し寒いので日本人の私たちは長袖のパーカやビーチタオルをかぶっていました。暖かい飲み物が頂けたので暖まりました。シュノーケルも日がでていたらもう少しきれいだったのかなと少し残念です。ただ初心者の私でもライフジャケットがあったので安心して飛び込むことができました。泳いでいるところに餌をなげてくれるので、たくさん魚もみられます。亀は船から海面に浮いているところをみることができました。可愛かったです。とても楽しく癒される体験をありがとうございました。

It was difficult to expect to see a sandbar like the ones in guidebooks, so I tried to keep my expectations low when participating.
However, perhaps due to the good conditions on the day, a very long sandbar formed, and it felt like I could walk out into the middle of the ocean, which was an impressive sight.
Additionally, there was a Japanese guide, which made me feel very comfortable participating in the tour.
The stay on the sandbar was about an hour, but I think everyone could fully enjoy their time taking photos, playing beach volleyball, lying down and gazing at the sky, and snorkeling.
At that time, the Japanese guide also came down from the boat and took many photos for us, which I really appreciated.
Afterward, we ate hamburgers that were grilled on the boat and did some sea turtle watching from the boat. Since we were watching from the boat, we could only see the turtles' heads popping up, which was a bit disappointing for me as I wanted to swim with them.
But luckily, five manta rays came close to the boat, and we were able to see them.
Finally, we went snorkeling around a coral reef that was about the size of a football field.
I have a scuba diving license and have seen coral reefs several times, but this was the most beautiful one I have ever seen. It spread out like a flower garden just a few dozen centimeters below the surface.
I also went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay the day before, but the coral there seemed mostly dead, and I could hardly see any coral, just black rocks, although I did spot some fish that were larger than those in the true reef. Here, the coral was truly wonderful, and there were many fish, but there weren't many large ones. It probably depends on personal preference; I definitely preferred this one.
After snorkeling, there was no place to change until we returned to the hotel, so we took the bus back in our swimsuits. I think women who are sensitive to the cold should definitely bring something like a hoodie for warmth. Alternatively, I thought it would be best to change on the boat using a towel that forms a circle. It was really cold.
Overall, it was a very satisfying tour. I would love to participate again when I visit Hawaii.
なかなか、ガイドブックで見るようなサンドバーが出ている状態で見るのは難しいのではないかとあまり期待をしないように自分を抑えて参加をしました。
しかし、実際は当日のコンディションもよかったせいか、とても長いサンドバーができて、どこまでも海の真ん中を歩いていけそうな感じで、感動的な光景を見ることができました。
あと、ちゃんと日本人のガイドさんも1人いらっしゃったので、とても安心してツアーに参加できました。
サンドバーの滞在時間は1時間ほどでが、写真を撮ったり、ビーチバレーをしたり、寝転んで空を眺めたり、シュノーケリングをしたりとそれぞれの時間を十分満喫できると思います。
このとき。日本人ガイドさんも船から下りてきてくれて写真を沢山とってくれました。とても有難かったです。
その後、船で焼いてくれたハンバーガーを食べて、船の上から海亀ウォッチングをしました。船の上からのウォッチングだったので、ちょこんと出す頭を見れるだけなので亀と一緒に泳ぎたかった私的にはちょっと残念でした。
でも運よくマンタが5匹が船のすぐそばまで寄ってきて見ることができました。
最後に、フットボールコート1面くらいある珊瑚礁の周りをシュノーケリングをしました。
私は、スキューバーダイビングのライセンスがあるので、何度が珊瑚礁を見たことありますが、私が今まで見た中で一番美しかったです。水面から数十センチのところにお花畑のように一面に広がっていました。
ハナウマ湾でも前日シュノーケリングをしたのですが、そちらの珊瑚礁はほとんど死んでいるのかあまり珊瑚がみれず、黒い岩ばかりでしたが、真タイより大きいような魚がポツポツ見れました。こちらは珊瑚礁がホントに素晴らしく魚も沢山いますが、大型の魚はあまりいませんでした。どちらが良いかは好みですかね。私は、断然こちらの方が好きです。
シュノーケリング後はホテルに帰るまで着替えの場所はないので、水着のままバスに乗りホテルまで帰ります。寒さに弱い女性の方は、パーカーとか寒さ対策できるもの必ず持っていった方が良いと思います。
又は、輪になっているタオルのようなもので船の上で着替がえるのが1番良いと思いました。ホント寒かったです。
全体的に大満足なツアーでした。
またハワイに行った時はぜひ参加したいです。

I visited Sandbar for the first time, and the sandy beach in the ocean was a mysterious and beautiful sight! Additionally, I got to see sea turtles up close and went snorkeling near the coral to see various fish. It was a packed tour, and I would love to participate again!
初めてサンドバーに行きましたが、海の中にある砂浜のは不思議&きれいな景色でした!また、ウミガメを間近で見たり、サンゴのそばでさまざまな魚を見るシュノーケリングをしたりと盛りだくさんなツアーで、また参加したいと思いました!

I imagined a pristine white sandbar when I joined, but the timing of low tide and the tour didn't match, so it felt more like a shallow sea. It might be better to check the timing of the tour and low tide before participating. I would like to join again for a revenge trip. The BBQ for lunch was very delicious!
真っ白な砂浜サンドバーをイメージして参加しましたが、干潮の時間とツアーの時間合わず、浅瀬の海という感じでした。
ツアーの時間と干潮の時間が合う時期を調べて、参加されたほうが良いかもしれませんね。
リベンジでまた参加したいと思います。
お昼のBBQは、とてもおいしかったですよ!

I had seen the ocean in Hawaii a few times, but I was truly moved to discover such a calm and beautiful place. When I got on the bus, most of the people around me were foreigners, and the explanations from the captain were all in English, which left me feeling confused, thinking, "What should I do? I can't understand!" However, there were Japanese staff members present, and they made sure that Japanese guests were seated together and provided explanations, which made me feel at ease.
The weather was a bit bad and cold, but I was able to play beach volleyball and had a great time. The hamburger for lunch was even more delicious than I expected, and the fact that they grilled the meat on the boat like a BBQ made it even tastier.
At the turtle spot, I was able to see turtles coming up for air and swimming around. There was plenty of time for snorkeling, and I could take photos with an underwater camera, which created wonderful memories.
I think I had a fun time thanks to the cheerful and kind staff, as well as the diverse group of guests from various countries participating together.
ハワイの海は何度か見ていましたが、こんなに穏やかで綺麗な場所があるなんて本当に感動しました。
バスに乗った時はまわりがほぼ外国の方でキャプテンらしき人の説明もすべて英語で『どうしよ~理解できない!』と戸惑ったけれど、きちんと日本人スタッフの方がいて船も日本人はかためて乗せて、説明もしてもらえたので安心しました。
ちょっとお天気が悪く寒かったけど、ビーチバレーもできて思いっきり楽しめました。
ランチのハンバーガーは期待以上に美味しくて、お肉を船の上でBBQなみに焼いてくれてたのが美味しさ倍増でした。
ウミガメスポットでは息継ぎにあがってくるカメや泳いでるかめを見ることができました。
シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって、水中カメラで撮影する事も出来たのですごくいい思い出です。
スタッフが明るくて親切だったのと、いろんな国のお客さんが一緒に参加していた事で楽しい時間を過ごせたと思います。
