I was worried about not being able to communicate in Japanese, but the tourists were separated into different boats for Japanese and foreign guests. There was one Japanese female crew member on our boat who kindly and patiently explained everything, which made me feel very safe and allowed me to enjoy the experience.
The sandbar had waves about knee-high, making it easy to walk around. The emerald green sea was incredibly beautiful, with very little current, and it felt so nice! I took many photos with the stunning scenery in the background, and I am very grateful for that.
We also got to see sea turtles, and when we moved to a spot with coral, I was able to snorkel while wearing a life jacket and see many beautiful fish, creating wonderful memories. (I can't swim, but with the life jacket and fins, I managed to swim alongside my husband.)
The hamburger lunch and drinks, along with the warm cocoa after snorkeling, were also very delicious. Thank you for the wonderful memories!! ♪♪
日本語通じないか不安でしたが、日本人観光客の船と外国の方で船が別れていて、船には日本人女性のクルーの方が一人いて、なんでも優しく丁寧に教えてくれたので、とても安心して楽しむことができました。
サンドバーは膝くらいの波の高さで安心して歩けました。
エメラルドグリーンの海はとても綺麗で、流れもほとんどなく穏やかでとても気持ちよかったです!
絶景をバックに写真もたくさん撮っていただき、大感謝です。
ウミガメも見れて、珊瑚のある場所へ移動してライフジャケットをつけてのシュノーケルも綺麗な魚をたくさん見ながら泳ぐことができ、とても思い出になりました。(私は泳げないですが、ライフジャケットと足ヒレで旦那と一緒でなんとか泳げました。)
ハンバーガーランチとドリンク、シュノーケル後のあったかいココアもとっても美味しかったです。
素敵な思い出をありがとうございました!!♪♪

Ship was nice but very crowded. Made it hard to see the dance show and fireworks.
5 course meal was tasty and cooked well.
Appetitizers lackluster; cheese, fruit, crackers. All in all, a good experience and value.
Booked several activities through Veltra;
Good experience.

Would highly recommend this package for the sandbar. The personnel are very experienced and friendly. Live music was great.
There were plenty of activities to choose from, and a perfect amount of time to try everything. The boat took us to a quieter area of the sandbar, so we basically had a private area to ourselves.
I'm glad we booked transportation through the package, as parking was full when we arrived.
Would want to go on this again!

Everything about the whole experience was easy and convenient. We booked a party of 8 for a high school boy's trip and had an immeasurable amount of fun.
Booking was super easy and once completed you get a confirmation email and a waiver for everyone to fill out. Instructions were clear and concise and the check-in team members were friendly and accommodating.
Preston was engaging as he broke down the rules and expectations. Kaawa Entertainment, Jesse, and the Ukelele-ist kept us jammin' until we reached the bar. As we sailed away he was cracking jokes about us Cali folks, which was hilarious. The brothers Nohu and mimicked flight attendants by educating us on how to wear our life vests properly. The captains and the rest of the team shared their aloha hospitality with us serving us donuts for breakfast and keeping us hydrated with water and tang.
I will definitely come back and do this again!

This was the best tour I have done while living here on Oahu! We wanted to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. The Crew was so friendly and helpful. I will be recommending this tour to all our future visitors! Additionally, the lunch was bomb!! Cheeseburgers using local beef and fresh vegetables. They are local, they support local and are the true definition of Aloha!

The reception staff included Japanese speakers, which was reassuring.
It's a Hawaiian show that you can enjoy starting from dinner before the show begins.
The food included Hawaiian dishes that we wouldn't typically choose ourselves, and everything was delicious, even the dessert!
The show was enjoyable for all ages, tracing the history of hula as well as famous artists.
My parents are from the perfect generation and used to listen to this music a lot, so I want to take them next time.
受付には日本語対応のスタッフさんもいらっしゃって安心でした。
ショー開始前のディナーから楽しめるハワイショーです。
食事もハワイのお料理など自分たちでは選ばないようなものばかり、

ショーはフラの歴史はもちろん有名アーティストの歴史をたどるような年代に関係なく楽しめるものでした。

The wait from when we were seated until the meal started was quite long, and I ended up having a lot of time on my hands. We were seated at a long table in the order we arrived, so the people sitting next to me were from groups I didn't know at all. While we were waiting, a local person with a ukulele sang songs upon request, but they weren't very good, and it was quite tough to be forced to tip them. However, the food was delicious, and I enjoyed the hula show.
席に座ってからご飯が始まるまでの時間が長く、かなり時間を持て余してしまいました。席は来た順番に長机に向かい合わせで座っていくので両隣はまったく知らないグループになります。待っている間ウクレレをもった現地の方が勝手にリクエストに応じて歌ってくれますがあまり上手でとなく、またチップを強制的に払わされるのが結構しんどかったです。でもご飯はおいしかったですし、フラショーは楽しめました。

It was cloudy on the day, and there was occasional light rain, but we were able to see a bit of the sunset in between. I think if you arrive early at the meeting point and secure a spot on the net in front of the boat, you'll enjoy the view even more. The time spent on the boat was longer than I expected, and we were able to relax quite a bit.

I participated with my husband, daughter, and middle school grandson. The sandbar wasn't at low tide, but it felt safe in the shallow water. I wanted to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) too, so we all enjoyed it as a family. Later, my husband and I watched our daughter and grandson enjoy snorkeling from the boat, and it was so much fun! They were thrilled to see many turtles.
Above all, I was very satisfied with the staff member who spoke Japanese; she explained everything clearly and interestingly. My daughter and grandson both said they want to do it again! Thank you for all your help.
主人と娘と中学生の孫と参加しました。サンドバーは干潮ではなかったけど、浅瀬で安心感がありました。SUPは私もやってみたかったので家族で楽しみました。その後シュノーケルは私と主人は船から娘と孫が楽しんでいるのを見てましたが、とっても楽しかった!亀をたくさん見れたと大喜びでした。

The snorkeling time was relatively long, and I was able to see sea turtles up close, which was very enjoyable. However, it was a bit cold in the evening. The sunset from the cruise was also very beautiful, making it a wonderful memory. The staff took photos for us, and since there is a sale at the end, I think it's a good idea to bring a little cash or a credit card if you want to purchase them.
シュノーケルの時間も比較的長く、ウミガメも間近で見ることができてとても楽しかったです。ただ、夕方のため少し寒かったです。

I think it's completely not worth the 20,000 yen per person, even considering that it's a natural phenomenon and the sand may not appear. It says that meals are included, but even in the morning, there wasn't even coffee, just a sweet donut and some bad juice mixed with water. My daughter and I participated in snorkeling, but the sea wasn't that beautiful, and there were no fish. When I asked the Japanese woman in charge, she bluntly said that there were fish a little further away by the coral, but we were told not to go beyond the coral, so we ended up not seeing many fish and our satisfaction level was zero.
It seemed like you could also do stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking, but once everyone used them, they didn't pass them on to the next person, so I only got to ride for a little bit about 10 minutes before the meeting time. I think they should either set a usage time or increase the number of equipment available. Other newlyweds looked bored floating on the rest boards in the sea, and it was really sad to see.
I will never participate again, and I think anyone considering joining should just pay for a different beach instead of this. I really want my 40,000 yen back!! (laughs)
自然現象だからサンドが現れないのは仕方ないとして、1人約2万円払って行く価値は全くないと思います。
食事付きと記載されていますが、朝なのにコーヒーすらなく甘ったるいドーナツ1つと水で溶かした不味いジュースかお水でした。
娘と2人でシュノーケルの参加でしたが、海もそこまで綺麗ではなく魚もいないし、主催の日本人女性に聞いたら少し離れたサンゴの所に魚がいると無愛想に言われました。
ですが、サンゴより向こうは行かないで下さいって言われたので結局魚はあまり見れず満足度はゼロでした。
その他サップやカヤックが出来るようでしたが、みなさん一度使うと中々次の人にまわさないので、結局集合時間の10分前にちょこっと乗れたくらいです。
使用時間を決めるか、もっと増やすか改善するべきだと思います。
他の新婚さんも海に浮いている休憩するボードにつまらなさそうにしていて、とても可哀想でした。
もう2度と参加しませんし、参加を考えてるみなさんもお金払わなくても普通に別の海に入った方が満足出来ると思います。
ほんと4万円返して欲しい!!笑
We are very sorry to hear that your experience with the KBOS tour did not meet your expectations. The weather and sea conditions, such as water levels, vary daily and are beyond our control, but we hope you were still able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii during the tour. Our tours welcome participants from various countries and cultures. We aim to create an atmosphere where everyone can share their experiences at the sandbar and enjoy activities together without strict time limits, making it easy for guests to interact with the crew. However, it seems that there wasn't enough time for activities during your tour. Regarding meals, we provide sandwiches in the afternoon, while the morning tour includes pastries like donuts or muffins. We need to reconsider how we communicate meal options to make it clearer for our customers, rather than just stating "meal included." We will share your valuable feedback internally and strive to improve our tours. Thank you for your input.
Sincerely,
The KBOS Staff
この度はKBOS ツアーにご参加頂きましたがご期待に沿えない体験となってしまった様で大変残念で申し訳なく思っております。天候や水位など海の状況は日々異なりコントロール出来ませんが、その様なハワイの自然を楽しんで頂ければと思い日々ツアーを催行させて頂いております。また私どものツアーには色々な国、文化の方が参加して下さっております。サンドバーでの体験を共有して頂き、アクティビティにつきましても皆さんで声を掛け合いながら共有し、利用時間等を設けずゆったりと楽しんでもらえるツアーを目指しておりクルーにも声かけやすいような雰囲気作りを目指しているのですが、、アクティビティにあまり時間が取れなかったのですね。お食事につきましては午後はサンドウィッチを提供しておりますが午前のツアーはドーナツもしくはマフィンなどのペースとリーとなっております。”食事付”とだけの記載でなくもっとお客様にわかり易いよう内容を記載するなどもう一度考えなければいけないですね。今回頂きましたご意見は社内で共有させて頂き、一層より良いツアーの催行にむけて努力させて頂く所存です。貴重なご意見を頂きありがとうございました。 KBOS スタッフ一同
