There were three staff members who were fluent in Japanese, so I had no trouble at all, and they were even able to engage in playful banter! I was very satisfied to see sea turtles while snorkeling both last year and this year from the boat! It's better to take two pool towels from the hotel so you won't be cold on the bus ride back. When planning in Japan, it's best to prioritize booking for low tide at the sandbar. I will keep going until I can experience low tide someday!! Book at the heavenly sea! Be careful, as you can't get too close if the names are similar.
日本語の上手なスタッフが3名もいたので何も困らない上に、ノリツッコミまでできる強者スタッフ!
去年も今年も船の中からもシュノーケルしてても海亀が見れて大満足!ホテルのプールタオルは2枚持って行った方が帰りのバスで寒くなくて良い。日本で予定を立てる時にサンドバーの干潮を優先して予約した方が良い。いつか干潮に出会えるまで行き続ける!!天国の海で予約!似てる名前だと近くまで行けないから注意してね。

Disappointed that we were Not at the real sand bar. We were to far away from it and the water level were too high to call it a sandbar. We were expecting to be able to stand at the sand bar.
The lunch provided was a disappointment.
What I really like was the staff, especially the guys helping with the kayaks and boat.

Kualoa Ranch is vast, and you can go horseback riding and tour the filming locations by bus, along with many other tour participants. For those who don't understand English at all, it seemed like they just let the bus driver's explanations go in one ear and out the other. Everything was explained in English. There were also many participants who were not Japanese.
The scenery was very beautiful. The buffet had very few food options, and there were flies, so my nervous child couldn't eat much.
It's best to think of it as completely different from something like Universal Studios.

The probability of sandbars appearing due to rising sea levels and typhoon effects was very low. The water level was up to our waists.
Some people were able to swim with sea turtles while snorkeling, which was a lot of fun.
The hamburgers for lunch were excellent.

Last year, I participated in a snorkeling tour at Hanauma Bay. It was my first time wearing a wetsuit, which was quite challenging, and the waves were high that day, so it wasn't the underwater experience I had hoped for. This time, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket, and the staff's attentiveness was excellent, allowing me to enjoy myself to the fullest. I was also able to encounter sea turtles, which made me very satisfied. I definitely want to participate again next year. Thank you very much.

The sandbar itself is an awesome natural phenomenon, and having a top-notch crew that supports you during your visit is a great benefit! Their boat cruise out to the sandbar provides you with water and a snack, as well as offers a place out of the sun to change or use the restrooms which would otherwise be completely unavailable without them. PLUS, they provide so much equipment to snorkel, kayak, play volleyball, and swim with lifejackets that is all included in the initial price. Definitely recommend the banana boat or tube ride though, as the thrill of being pulled behind a speed boat across this paradise is beautiful and quite fun! Overall, excellent experience that allows you to enjoy a natural phenomenon I've never experienced before.

Since I came to Hawaii, I wanted to fully enjoy the beautiful ocean, and I had a great time. We boarded a medium-sized boat that could hold about 50 people and set off for the sandbar, which took about 30 minutes. Along the way, we were able to see sea turtles and rays, but not as many as I had hoped. I wonder if it was due to the season?
Once we arrived at the sandbar, we were quickly provided with snorkeling gear and enjoyed swimming while looking into the water from the boat, where there was a lookout. Below us were mostly coral reefs, and we could see various colorful fish swimming among them. We spent over an hour in the water, and when we returned to the boat, we were able to eat a hamburger made with grilled meat from a barbecue. I was so hungry that I wanted to eat another one. Drinks were unlimited.
We rented a car to visit Hanauma as a family instead of going on a tour, but since the sandbar was part of a tour, we had pick-up and drop-off from the hotel, and lunch was included. The guide kindly explained everything, so we were able to enjoy it quite a bit.
Since it was a family trip with six people, my grandchildren, who are in middle and high school, were much happier than us older folks. Thank you very much!

I participated with my 7-year-old child. I was worried about seasickness, but the boat didn't sway much, and since it was only about a 15-minute ride, there was no problem at all.
The sandbar had knee-deep seawater, which was disappointing, but the snorkeling was the best! We enjoyed it even more than Hanauma. It was great to see many sea turtles, from large ones to small baby turtles. We all talked about how we wish we had more time for snorkeling...
7歳の子供を連れて参加しました。船酔いを心配しましたが、船が大きく揺れる事もなく、また片道15分ほどであったので全く問題ありませんでした。

It's better not to expect shallow waters.
There were plenty of activities, so it was fun. The staff provided explanations in Japanese, live performances, and meals, which made the experience very fulfilling.
The seating is assigned, and you leave your belongings in that space when going to the sea. In case of theft, there are surveillance cameras. If you're concerned, it's better to secure your belongings with a lock.
One slight disappointment was that I rode the banana boat with my spouse, and since we were together, we couldn't take a photo. When I asked if we could at least get a photo at the moment we boarded, they declined. I thought it would have been better not to do it if we couldn't capture the memory.
I forgot my sunglasses on the return bus, and when I contacted the support center, they delivered them to my hotel. They also provided assistance in Japanese.
浅瀬になることを期待しないほうがいいです。
アクティブティが沢山あったので楽しかったです。
スタッフの方も日本語の説明や、生の演奏、食事もあったのでとても充実はしました。
席は決まっていて、荷物はそのスペースに置いて海に行きます。
万が一、盗まれた場合は監視カメラがあるそうです。不安な方は荷物に鍵を付けた方がいいです。
少し残念なのが、バナナボートに乗ったんですが。夫婦で乗ってしまったら撮れないので、乗る瞬間だけでも、写真頼めないですかと言ったら、断られました。写真に残らないなら、やらなければ良かったと思いました。

It was really cold. I couldn't stay in the sea for even five minutes. The wind was strong, and the weather wasn't good.
I heard from relatives in Kaneohe that summer weather has a cycle, and during our time, there were just a few days with a lot of wind, clouds, and showers.
It seems that the sandbar is not often visible; we couldn't see it at all this time. The water was up to my chest, and the waves were strong. When I got on the free kayak, I was swept away immediately, and it was scary.
If possible, I would like to make a reservation while checking the weather on-site.
The crew members were very kind and warm. My mother had a hard time with seasickness, but we are grateful for their heartfelt support.

Get on a large boat with about 30 to 40 people to enjoy 20 minutes of live music as it takes us to our destination near the sandbar, then get off the boat and swim over to 4 possible activities:
(1) snorkeling
(2) kayaking
(3) paddle boarding
(4) sunbathing on a floating platform
Lunch is a turkey/cheese croissant sandwich with chips and a drink. I had great fun doing both kayaking and paddle boarding but I didn't do snorkeling. Word of advice - swim fast to either paddle board or kayak otherwise you'll have to wait about an hour for one to be available (first come first serve). Ultimately, everyone had a chance to do all activities but whichever one you are most looking forward to doing - hit it first! NOTE: water is deep in most places so even though you are wearing a lifevest, your feet will not touch the ground - it's not dangerous as there's no heavy surf but I don't want non swimmers to be surprised or panic.

It is located just a short boat ride from the port. The activity is divided into two parts: we first enjoyed stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in shallow waters, and in the second half, we went snorkeling. I had imagined a sandy beach during low tide, but since we went during high tide, we paddled in shallow waters that were about knee-deep for adults. We let the little ones ride on a small boat float (as shown in the posted photos) and pulled them around for fun. However, the snorkeling part goes quite deep, so while we wore life jackets, it might be a bit challenging for children who are not accustomed to snorkeling. In the end, we put the kids on a ZAYAK, but it didn't provide the stability we expected. Nevertheless, there is a good chance of seeing sea turtles. It would have been better if they had provided a more stable see-through boat float for the kids. Also, the water temperature in the morning is a bit on the cooler side.
港から船ですぐに着くところにあります。2部構成ではじめは浅瀬をSUPで楽しみ、後半はシュノーケリングでした。干潮時の砂浜を想像していましたが、満潮時に行ったので、大人の膝上程度の浅瀬でSUPをしました。小さい子は小さいボートフロート(投稿写真)に乗せて、引っ張りまわして遊びました。しかしながら、後半のシュノーケリングの方は、かなり深いところまで行きますので、ライフジャケットをつけていますが、シュノーケリングに慣れていない子供には少しレベルが高いかと思います。結局、子供をZAYAKに乗せましたが、こちらも思ったようには安定せず。しかしながら、ウミガメが結構な確率で見られます。
子供用にもう少し安定感のあるシースルーボートフロート等を貸してくれたらもっと良かったかもしれません。あと、午前中の便は少し海水温が低めです。

Most of the crew was nice and friendly. When we signed up for this tour, the two activities my group and I were looking forward to were the Banana Boat and BUmper Tube. However, they ended up being the two activities we least enjoyed. Riders of these two activities are of various ages and the lack of consideration for that was disappointing. The woman that "drove" the boat sped off the from the boarding so fast that are necks jerked back so hard that we were sore the next day. During the ride, we tried to get her attention several timers to slow down because some of us were almost thrown off the boat.

It's not shallow at all! What does "Heavenly Sea" mean? Please let me know in advance♪
全然浅瀬じゃないって!「天国の海」はどういう意味なのか?事前に言っといてくださいね♪

Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We are very sorry to hear that the water level on the day of your participation did not meet your expectations. The tide varies daily due to natural conditions, so there are days when the water is deeper and the sand does not appear. We have included a link to the tide chart on our website, so please check it in advance next time and aim for a day with lower water levels. We look forward to seeing you again.
Best regards,
The KBOS Staff
この度はツアーにご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。ツアーご参加当日の水位はご期待通りでなかった様で大変残念に思っております。潮位は自然条件によって毎日変動しますので水深が深い日もあり砂地が現れないこともあります。潮の満ち引き情報が確認できる(潮見表)のリンクをサイトに載せておりますので次回は是非事前にチェックして水位の低い日を狙ってご参加してみてください。お待ちしております。 KBOS スタッフ一同

I would recommend the sand bar trip to everyone coming to the island, from the minute you step onto the boat,the lovely food,fantastic crew,information and spotting the turtles and rays in the ocean.
My mum as mobility issues and the crew were always on hand to ask and offer help and assistance, Sasha and eggy ( William) I think went up and beyond, especially with photos and handing out snorkels etc.
Both mum and myself said it was the best trip of our holidays.
Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing.
