I participated with my son (4th grade) and daughter (1st grade). The weather forecast the day before predicted thunderstorms, and it was cloudy in the morning with rain during the bus ride, but it cleared up when we got on the boat, allowing us to enjoy the blue sky at the sandbar.
It was quite cold on the boat due to the wind, and since we went straight into the sea, the kids were pretty cold even though it was sunny. I think it's a good idea to bring extra bath towels and cover-ups.
There were areas where the beach was exposed, but they were far from where the boat was docked, so we didn't go there and instead took photos and did some stand-up paddleboarding (SUP). The water level was about up to an adult's calves. The kids quickly got the hang of SUP and had a lot of fun.
During snorkeling, they lent us a ZAYAK for my daughter, who can't swim, and she was thrilled to see fish and sea turtles. It seemed that the ZAYAK was only available for children.
I was surprised to see sea turtles up close, even more than I expected. I couldn't take good underwater photos with my smartphone in a waterproof case, so I want to prepare an underwater camera for next time.
We were also able to see many sea turtles from the boat on the way there and back. The staff who spoke Japanese were very friendly and made it enjoyable. I would like to participate in this tour again when I go to Hawaii.
息子(小4)と娘(小1)と一緒に参加しました。
前日の天気予報が雷雨で、朝も曇り、バス移動中も雨が降っていましたが、船に乗るときには晴れてきて、青空のサンドバーを満喫できました。
船上は風が当たるので結構寒く、そのまま海に入るので、晴れていても子供たちはかなり寒がっていました。バスタオルや羽織りものは多めに用意した方がいいと思います。
砂浜が出ている場所もありましたが、船の停泊箇所から離れていたのでそこまで行かずに写真を撮ったり、SUPしたりしました。大人のふくらはぎくらいの水位でした。初めてのSUPは子供達もすぐに立てて楽しめました。
シュノーケリングの際、泳げない娘のためにZAYAKを貸して頂けて、娘も魚やウミガメを見ることができて喜んでしました。ZAYAKの貸出は子供のみの様でした。
ウミガメを想像以上に間近で見ることができて驚きました。防水ケースにいれたスマホでは水中でうまく撮影できなかったので、次は水中カメラを用意して参加したいです。
行き帰りの船からもウミガメを沢山見ることができました。日本語を話せるスタッフの方がとても気さくで楽しかったです。
またハワイに行ったときにはこのツアーに参加したいです。

After taking a shuttle bus from Waikiki for about 50 minutes, we arrived at Kualoa Ranch. Once everyone got off the bus, there was an announcement saying, "If you would like to hear the explanation in Japanese, please follow the Japanese staff." While we were sitting with the rest of the group, others were being called by name and receiving their tickets and schedules, but we were not called... In the end, our tickets were with the Japanese staff, and there was a bit of a delay there. It would have been clearer if they had said, "Those with Japanese names, please go over there."
Thanks to our cheerful driver guide, we enjoyed visiting filming locations from Jurassic World and LOST, but just before the afternoon Ocean Voyage Tour, there was a sudden downpour! Everyone else had ponchos and umbrellas ready, but we were left unprotected and got completely soaked from head to toe. There was a poncho vending machine at the meeting point... I should have bought one without hesitation. Well, it's a good memory now.
ワイキキから送迎バスに乗って約50分ほどでクアロアランチに到着。全員バスから降りたところで、「事前説明を日本語で聞きたい人は日本人スタッフについて行って下さい」と案内があり、そのままその他大勢と一緒に座っていたところ、他の人はどんどん名前を呼ばれ、チケットとスケジュール表をもらっているのに呼ばれず・・・結局私たちのチケットは日本人スタッフさんが持って行っていて、そこで少し手間取りました。「日本の名前の人はあちらへ」と言ってもらったほうがわかりやすかったです。
明るいドライバーガイドさんのお陰でジュラシック・ワールド、LOSTなどの撮影場所を楽しく見学、まではよかったのですが、午後オーシャンボヤージツアー直前に突然の大雨!!皆さんポンチョや傘などを用意されていましたが、私たちだけ無防備で頭から足まで全身びしょ濡れになりました。集合場所にポンチョ自販機があったのに・・・迷わず買っておくべきでした。ま、いまではいい思い出です。

This experience became the most memorable one in Hawaii. The sandbar made me feel like I was in another world, and seeing the sea turtles was amazing. The hamburgers we had on the boat were the best.
Snorkeling is safe even for those who are not good swimmers. I was considering skipping it before going, but in the end, I joined in, and my parents, who are over 60, also participated. My elementary school-aged children went snorkeling for the first time, and they enjoyed it so much that they wanted me to buy them masks, which I did that day, and they even wore them to swim in the hotel pool.
I brought my 1-year-old baby, and I wish I had taken an umbrella. Even with sunscreen, you can still get quite sunburned. I think it's better for those with small children to have some kind of sun protection. The staff were friendly and great at chatting.
ハワイの中でこの体験が1番記憶に残る体験になりました。
サンドバーは異世界に来た気分になり、ウミガメも観れて、船上で食べるハンバーガーは最高でした。
シュノーケリングは、泳ぎが苦手な人でも安心してできます。私も行く前は辞めとこうかと思っていましたが、結果私も入り60才を超えてる父母も入りました。小学生の子どもたちも初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、よっぽど楽しかったのかマスクを買って欲しいということで、その日に買いホテルのプールでもマスクをつけて泳いでました。
1才の赤ちゃんを連れて行ったのですが、日傘を持って行けば良かったと思いました。
日焼け止めを塗って行ってもかなり焼けます。
小さいお子様連れの方は何か対策があった方がいいと思います。

It's helpful that there is a plan with transportation included. So, it's better to wear a cover-up over your swimsuit before going. The voucher mentions that you need to download and bring a consent form, but it will be provided on-site, so you don't need to bring it.
On the boat ride to the location, they will perform and sing for you.
You can enjoy snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking!
For snorkeling, you can go near the coral reefs and observe the fish! The water is clear, so you can see well! I thought there would only be small fish, but there were also large fish and eels. However, be really careful as there are stones and coral fragments on the bottom, and the coral is spiky, which can easily cut your feet.
You can also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but there are limited numbers available, so you can't go until someone returns one. I wish they had a few more stand-up paddleboards available.
By the way, there are light snacks (only donuts), but I didn't have an appetite before playing, and when I went to get some afterward, they were all gone. It's a shame they didn't prepare enough.
Also, the bus drivers for the outbound and return trips are the same, so it's a good idea to remember their faces! (laughs)
送迎付きプランがあるのが助かります。
なので、水着に上着を着てから行った方が良いです
バウチャーには同意書をダウンロードして持って来てって書いてますが、現地で渡されるので持って行かなくても良いです。
船で現地まで行く道中、演奏しながら歌を歌ってくれます。
シュノーケリング、サップ、カヤックが楽しめます!
シュノーケリングはサンゴ礁の近くに行って、魚を観察できます!
海が澄んでいるので良く見えます!小魚だけかなと思っていたら、大きな魚やウツボのような魚もいました。
ただし、石?やサンゴの破片?などが落ちている上に、サンゴもトゲトゲしているので足を切りやすいのでマジで注意です。
サップやカサックも出来ますが、台数に限りがあるので、誰かが返すまで乗れません・・。特にサップはもう少し用意して欲しいです。
また、軽食(ドーナツのみ)があるのですが、遊ぶ前は食欲無かったので、遊び終えた後に取りに行ったらもう無くなってました。十分な数を用意してないのが残念でした。
ちなみに行きと帰りのバスは運転手の顔が一緒なので、顔は覚えておいた方がいいです!(笑)
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We always prepare donuts for the number of participants plus a little extra, but we ask everyone to take one at the beginning, and if there are any leftovers, we give them to those who would like to have more.

The pickup at the hotel was painless. The trip there was good. When we arrived we were greeted and they made sure we knew where to do, and answered all of our silly questions. The people at the ranch were awesome. Racheal our tour driver was awesome. She was funny, entertaining, and she knew all kind of fun movie location info. We watched 50 First Dates when we got back to the hotel and got to see a lot of the locations used. We did the bus tour and the cruise with the buffet. The food was great, and they honestly didn't care how much you ate. They had cookies and lemon bars for a quick dessert. Their on site restaurant had amazing looking burgers, will need to try if we ever go back. We also tried to the local chocolate bars with coffee beans and the banana bread. It was a bit pricey but we devoured all of it. The ride back to hotel was comfortable. Using Veltra was an awesome way to do the trip, to have nothing to worry about except where to show up, was excellent. We even used them to book our Luao after our trip because of how well they took care of us.

I would like to first start off make sure you leave with plenty of time! We unfortunately got stuck in traffic. And I was so upset thinking we would lose our trip. I ran to see if there was any hope and I received a call from the pleasant captain Sandy asking if we were still joining them. She was sooo nice and eased me letting me know they are still there no problem. We got on and they were so nice to us. I was so embarrassed and flustered we were so late and they were just soooo nice to us. Honestly I wouldn’t have blamed them if they were annoyed but they weren’t (or at least didn’t show it). The whole ride was smooth, the music was amazing and the activities were so fun. I truly believe the service makes an experience and they totally made ours!! It was so fun! Also pro tip bring some adult beverages to relax even more :) maholo to the crew for an amazing time!

We traveled to the dock by large bus and after hearing some simple instructions from the Japanese staff, we boarded the boat. The boat has changing rooms, but it's more comfortable to wear your swimsuit. We arrived at the sandbar in about 30-40 minutes. Since we had also reserved the banana boat activity, we started with that. The banana boat ride itself lasts about 5 minutes. The boat was relatively stable, so I wasn't thrown off. After that, we spent about 2 hours kayaking, paddleboarding, and playing with a ball. Due to the rain from the previous day, the sea was murky, so there was no snorkeling. After finishing, we relaxed on the way back while enjoying live music and snacking on donuts. One thing to note is that the air conditioning on the return bus was too strong, making it cold for our half-dry bodies, so I recommend bringing a jacket or an extra towel. Overall, I had a great time.
大型バスで船着場まで移動し、日本人スタッフの方から簡単な注意事項等を聞いた後、船に乗り込みました。船には更衣室がありますが、水着は着て行った方が楽です。30-40分でサンドバーに到着しました。バナナボードのアクティビティも予約していたので、バナナボートからスタートしました。バナナボード自体の所要時間は5分くらいです。ボートが比較的安定しているので、振り落とされませんでした。その後は、2時間くらいカヤックやsupやボール遊びをして過ごしました。この日は前日の雨の影響で海が濁っていた為、シュノーケリングはありませんでした。終了後は、軽食のドーナッツを食べつつ生演奏を聴きながらゆったりと戻りました。注意点としては、帰りのバスが冷房効きすぎて半乾きの身体には寒いので、上着や予備のバスタオル等を持っていくことをオススメします。
総じて、楽しめました。

I had a great time watching sea turtles in the beautiful ocean. It was also nice to be able to do stand-up paddleboarding. Depending on the season, it might be cold when you come out of the water while still wet, so it's necessary to bring something to wear. Other than the spam rice balls, there were plenty of snacks and drinks available for unlimited refills, which was more than enough.

Last time it rained and it was a bit unsatisfying, but this time I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery under a blue sky. Even though it was sunny, it was cold, so I was glad I brought two beach towels. I think many people participate hoping to see the sandbar, but it seems you can only see it during a very low tide. (The tide level was -0.5, but the water was up to my knees.) You can see plenty of turtles and fish while snorkeling, so it's a lot of fun. They provide snorkeling gear, but there are no fins. The crew was kind and friendly, and it was clear they wanted to make sure everyone had a good time. This is definitely an activity I want to participate in again. I hope the exchange rate improves or that the prices become more affordable.

We recommend to bring water shoes if you want to snorkel…or in general, they come in handy! And don’t forget sunscreen! Also another tip is if you plan to use an Uber/Lyft as transportation that you pre book prior for pick-up especially! Because we were told that people sometimes waited hours to be picked up from that location. We pre-booked and waited probably 15mins.

The boat and crew were great. The snorkeling, not so much. Make sure you check the tide before you book! It's a sand bar and reef, so if the tide is out it will be too shallow to snorkel. We lost an hour of our two hours snorkel time waiting for the tide to come in, and when it did, it was still too shallow to snorkel over the reefs. And with all the ppl walking around stirring up the bottom, it was too murkey to see much anyway. Pretty mush a loss.
But did I mention the crew? Great music, helpful crew saved the day

I go to Hawaii at least once a year but never knew about the sandbar until a year ago when friends took us out on their fishing boat. It was such a cool experience that this time I decided to book this excursion and it was the best experience ever! The boat they took us out on was big and clean with toilets. They had refreshments, doughnuts and a really good musician that played for us on the way out and back. Once we got to the sandbar, they had floating barge, kayaks, paddle boards and snorkeling all set up and ready to go in waist deep water all around. It was perfect for my 6 year old. There was a staff member to help us at each station and they were really attentive and helpful. I've been telling everyone that a trip to Oahu is not complete unless they experience this.

I participated in the afternoon, and the weather was cloudy. I rented equipment because I wanted to experience snorkeling. The wind was strong, and I almost got swept outside the buoy, but the staff member quickly came to help and provided support, which was reassuring. While snorkeling, many fish were swimming around the coral reefs, making it feel like an aquarium. After getting cold, I returned to the boat for a light lunch with sandwiches. The staff's live ukulele and guitar performance was very good and added to the fun atmosphere. There were more foreign guests (Mexican, Spanish, and others) than Japanese guests on board, creating a lively ambiance. If the weather had been a bit sunnier and the wind calmer, I might have enjoyed it even more. It might also be good to check the low tide times before going.
午後からの参加で天気は曇り。SAPを体験したくてレンタル。風が強くてブイの外まで流されそうになったが、スタッフのお兄さんがすぐにHELPに来てくれてサポートしてくれるので安心でした。シュノーケリングでは多くの魚がサンゴ礁の周りを泳いでいて水族館のよう。体が冷えた後は船内に戻り、サンドイッチで軽くランチ。スタッフのウクレレ&ギターの生演奏がとても上手で、盛り上げてくれました。船内は日本人客より外国人客(メキシカン、スパニッシュ、others)の方が多く、とても賑やかな雰囲気でした。もう少し晴天と風が緩やかであれば、もっと楽しめたかも。あと干潮時を調べていくと良いかも。
Thank you very much for participating in the tour. We also appreciate you sharing your review and photos. From all of us at KBOS.

We enjoyed 15 minutes of live music on the boat and spent 2 hours playing in the shallow area. The captain and other staff were all cheerful and fun, and the live music added to the great atmosphere. Although the weather was cloudy, the water wasn't cold, and we had plenty of activities to enjoy. It seemed difficult to get there on our own, so we opted for the shuttle service to the hotel.
生演奏付きの船で15分、遠浅のエリアで2時間遊びました。
キャプテンやその他のスタッフがみんな陽気で楽しく、生演奏も雰囲気が良かったです。
お天気が曇りだったのですが、水も冷たくなくたっぷりアクティビティを楽しめました。
自力で行くのは難しそうだったので、ホテルまでの送迎をオプションで付けました。
We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for participating. From all of us at KBOS.

We took a small boat to the snorkeling point, where we were guided and given various explanations along the way.
It's important to be careful not to hit the coral. I was pointed out a few times.
The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to enjoy a relaxing time underwater while taking in the scenery.
I was glad I brought my own snorkeling gear, but if you don't have your own, you will have to use the rental equipment. Since it's something that goes in your mouth, I thought it was better to bring my own.
小型船で、シュノーケルポイントまで向かい、ポイントまで案内してもらいながらいろいろ説明をしてもらいました。
サンゴに当たらないように注意が必要です。何回か指摘を食らいました。
海はとてもきれいで景色を楽しみながらゆっくりした時間を海の中で過ごせました。
シュノーケルグッズを自前で持って行ったので良かったですが、もっていかないと貸し出しのものになります。口に入れるものなので、持っていった良いと思いました。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful ocean. For safety, we ensure that snorkeling equipment is disinfected after use, but you are welcome to bring your own as well. We hope to see you again to be rejuvenated by the beautiful waters of Hawaii. A Hui Hou!

I don’t usually leave reviews unless it’s a really terrible experience OR an AWESOME ONE! Let me just start by saying my group & I did this on Thursday and we booked to go back on Saturday!!! That’s how amazing the crew and the experience was! Worth every penny.
We had an 8 yr old and she was able to enjoy the water too it’s deff kid friendly.
You can take your cooler with beer, drinks and snacks. The water is crystal clear and only like 3-4 ft tall. Take cash to tip the crew and live band, they’re ALL so awesome!!
Big Mahalo! for joining our tour and your great review. - Team KBOS

I love Jurassic Park and have always wanted to visit this place. It all started when the theme song began to play on the bus! It was an English tour, but I always choose English tours no matter the country, and I really enjoy the friendly atmosphere with the other international guests. The guide was also proactive in taking photos, which made me, as a solo tour participant, very happy!
This tour is a must for both movie lovers and nature enthusiasts when visiting Hawaii.
ジュラシックパーク大好きでずっと行ってみたかった場所へ
バスの中であのテーマソングが流れ始めた所からスタート!!
英語ツアーでしたが、私はどこの国でも英語ツアーにしていて周りの外人さん達の和気あいあいな雰囲気が大好きです。
ガイドさんも率先して撮影して頂き、1人ツアー参加の私には本当に嬉しかったです!
大自然と撮影地、映画好きの方にも自然好きの方にもハワイへ来たら是非参加して欲しいツアーでした。

The SUP was enjoyable for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and parents alike! We were thrilled to see sea turtles while snorkeling. The staff were all very friendly. It was a good decision to bring a waterproof case for my smartphone!
サップは、中学生も高校生も親も楽しめました!シュノーケリングではウミガメを見られてテンションが上がりました。
スタッフもみんな親切でした。
スマホの防水ケースを持って行って正解でしたー。
Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour with your family. It was wonderful to see the sea turtles come so close to you. I'm sure they brought happiness to your family. We look forward to welcoming you all back to Paradise Ocean again. We will be waiting for that day along with the sea turtles. Mahalo!

とっても近くまでウミガメがきてくれたのですね。きっとご家族に幸せを運んでくれて来たことだと思います。
また皆様ご一緒に天国の海にお越しください。その日をウミガメとともにお待ちしております。マハロ!

This is my third time participating. I'm not a strong swimmer, but with goggles and a life jacket, I won't sink. The guide is very attentive, so there's little chance of getting lost or getting into dangerous situations. There were families with small babies, but the guide was very helpful, even carrying them, ensuring everyone could enjoy safely. The weather was calm, and I was able to see sea turtles clearly, creating wonderful memories. You can return in your swimsuit, but it's better to bring a change of clothes as you might get cold. There is a small restroom, so I went up a bit early and changed inside while it was still empty. There were spam rice balls, snacks, juice, and warm drinks, allowing us to take breaks and enjoy without pressure. I would like to participate again next time. Thank you very much.
今回で3回目の参加です。泳ぎは得意ではありませんが、ゴーグルとライフジャケットがあるので、まず沈むことはありません。ガイドさんがしっかりとガードしてくれているので、はぐれたり危険なことに巻き込まれることはまずないです。小さな赤ちゃん連れのご家族もいましたが、ガイドさんが抱っこするなど協力的で全員が安全に楽しめるよう素晴らしい働きぶりでした。天候も穏やか、ウミガメもしっかり見ることができ素晴らしい思い出となりました。水着のままでも帰れますが、体が冷えるので替えは持参した方がいいです。狭いですがトイレが1つありますので、私は少し先に上がりすいているうちに中で着替えました。スパムのおにぎり、スナック菓子、ジュースに温かい飲み物もあり無理せず休憩を入れながら楽しむことができます。また次回も参加したいです。ありがとうございました。
Aloha! This is Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. Thank you so much for joining us for the third time. We truly appreciate the information from our repeat customers. Please come and visit us again when you come to Hawaii. We sincerely look forward to the day we can see both of your smiles again.

Even though I was overseas, time seemed to move on as usual here. Before getting on the boat at Kaneohe Bay, we encountered a heavy rainstorm, and I thought the trip might be canceled. However, we went ahead despite the rain. My umbrella, which was meant to be a sunshade, ended up being used mainly as a rain umbrella. It was so cold that I felt the chill was more overwhelming than the rain season itself.
It was really fun to have the tour guide take pictures of us at the movie filming locations!
海外なのに、此処はあえて時間通りに進んだ
カネオヘ湾のボートに乗る前に、凄い雨にあったので、中止?かと思いきや、雨の中、決行
日傘兼用なのに、主に雨傘となり雨季なのだ〜と思ったくらいかえって寒さの方が勝った位でした
映画撮影ポイントもツアーガイドさんにも写真を撮ってもらい本当にたのしかったで〜す
