This was my first time participating, and I signed up with transportation included. I was informed of the meeting place in advance, but I mistakenly went to the neighboring ABC Store. It would be good to confirm with someone at the hotel front desk who understands Japanese beforehand. The microbus driver was very pleasant (though he didn't speak Japanese).
At the Sandbar reception, I simply stated my name and the number of people, and I was able to pass through smoothly. On the boat, seats were arranged by nationality, which eased my anxiety. There were a total of 8 Japanese participants (4 from my group). The captain spoke a little Japanese and explained the location of the restrooms and the rules of the boat. By chance, when I opened Pokémon GO, he became my friend, which was amusing.
While heading out to sea, we enjoyed Hawaiian music along with donuts and drinks. The singing was lovely, and the donuts were large! (They had three types of coatings: chocolate, sugar, and icing.) Before arriving at the Sandbar, there was an explanation of life jackets in English, and they must be removed for certain activities. Those participating in SUP, snorkeling, kayaking, and banana boat rides will need them. There was a Japanese explanation on how to wear the snorkel. We received bread for the fish, which attracted many of them.
I did SUP and kayaking, but there were limited numbers, so we had to wait a bit until someone finished. Many of the other participants were nice and asked, "Change?"
The highlight of the trip was encountering a honu (sea turtle). Although I couldn't see it underwater while on the SUP, it surfaced to say hello.
After about two hours of fun, we enjoyed hot drinks and warmed up with beach towels we brought from the hotel, and had more donuts. On the return boat ride, we listened to nice Hawaiian music, and it ended in no time.
When we got off the boat, the captain took a photo with us! I was very satisfied with both the service and the experience, so I ended up giving a little extra tip.
Things I was glad I brought:
- Inflatable float (with pump)
- Underwater camera and smartphone case
- Beach towel
- Rash guard
Notes:
- It's easy to injure your feet on the coral.
- If you're not used to snorkeling, breathing can be a bit difficult.
- Sunburn.
- When the tide comes in, the water can reach chest height (morning plan is recommended).
今回初めての参加もあり、送迎ありで申し込み。
集合場所は事前に知らされていたのですが、私の勘違いで隣のABCストアと間違えてしまいました。なので事前にホテルフロントの日本語がわかる方等に確認をすると良いです。
マイクロバスの運転手も感じの良い方でした。(日本語は通じません。)
サンドバーの受付では名前と人数を言ったらすんなり通過。
船では国籍毎に席をまとめられたので不安が軽減しました。日本人参加は計8人(内4人が私のグループ)
船長さんは少し日本語ができる方で、トイレの場所、船のルールを教えてくれます。たまたまポケモンGOを開いていたらフレンドになってくれました笑
沖までで出る間はハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらドーナツとドリンクをいただけます。歌はとても素敵で、ドーナツは大きいです!(チョコ、砂糖、アイシングの3種のコーティング)
サンドバーに着く前に救命胴衣の説明が英語であり、一部のアクティビティでは必ず切る必要があります。SUP、シュノーケリング、カヤック、バナナボートをやる方は必要です。
シュノーケルの装着方法等は日本語の説明がありました。魚用のパンをもらえるので沢山の魚が寄ってきてくれます。
SUPとカヤックをやりましたが、数に限りがあり誰かが終わるまで少し待ちます。他の参加者がいい人が多く「change?」って聞いてくれる人も沢山いました。
そして今回一番良かったのはホヌに出会えたことです。SUP中だったので海中では見ることができませんでしたが、海面に顔を出してくれました。
2時間ほど遊んだあとはホットドリンクを頂きホテルから持ってきたバスタオルで体を温め、またドーナツを頂きました笑
帰りの船の中もいい感じのハワイアンミュージックを聴きながらで、あっという間に終了。
船を降りたら船長さんが一緒に写真を撮ってくれました!
サービスも内容も大満足だったので少し多くチップを渡しちゃいました。
持っていってよかったもの
浮き輪(ポンプ付き)
海中で取れるカメラとスマホケース
バスタオル
ラッシュガード

サンゴで足を怪我しやすい

I had a great time! It was supposed to be a one-hour experience, but I used up enough energy to feel satisfied in about 40 minutes! The instructor was very lively, and I was able to learn quickly. They mentioned that it's best not to bring valuables, but you can store your belongings on the shelf at the reception.

We participated as a group of four. When we arrived at the reception, we were shocked to find that there was no reservation under our name. Upon investigation, we discovered that although we had received a confirmation email, our reservation had somehow been changed the day before, and the day of the event was fully booked. Initially, we were told that we could not participate.
However, they made various adjustments for us and created a private group for just the four of us, resulting in a very enjoyable experience with three instructors dedicated to us. It was our first time zip-lining, but there was no fear, and including the trial run, we enjoyed eight lines so much that we lost track of time.
Please note that the instructions were given in quite fast English. We had someone in our group who was fluent in English, so it wasn't a problem for us, but there are a few points to be aware of:
- Each time, you start by standing on a small platform while the instructor prepares you.
- Do not touch the wire.
- At one point, just before the finish, if you feel like you are about to stop, grab the red rope at the instructor's signal (grabbing it beforehand will activate the brake).
4名で参加しました。受付にいくとまさかの予約がないという状況でした。
調べていただいたら、事前確認メールもきていたのになぜか前日に変更されており、もう当日は予約でいっぱい。最初はもうできないと言われました。
しかしながら、色々と調整してくれて、我々4人だけのグループを組んでくれて、結果インストラクター3名を独占する形でとても楽しい経験ができました。
ジップラインは初めてでしたが、怖さもなくトライアルの1本含めて8本時間が経つのを忘れるぐらい楽しめました。
なお、英語はかなり早く、我々は同伴者に英語が堪能な人がいたので問題なかったですが、いくつか気を付ける点があるのでご注意ください。
・毎回最初に小さい台の上に乗ってインストラクターに準備してもらう
・ワイヤーはさわならい
・途中からですが、ゴール直前で止まりそうになったら、インストラクターの合図で赤いロープをつかむ(その前につかむとブレーキかかってしまう)

Snorkeling was my first experience, but I felt安心 because there were Japanese staff members. We headed to a spot where we could see dolphins by boat and dove into the sea twice, but we couldn't see any dolphins... After changing locations, we finally saw dolphins on the third dive! (And they were so close!!!) I heard that usually, you can see them from the first dive, so maybe our timing was just bad... After that, we moved to a spot with sea turtles and tropical fish, and had some time to play with SUP and slides. The sea was incredibly clear and it was amazing!!! As a side note, I took motion sickness medicine before getting on the boat, but I still felt a bit nauseous... I took some more medicine along the way, so I recommend bringing extra if you're worried about getting sick.
シュノーケリングは初体験でしたが、日本人のスタッフさんが居るので安心です。
イルカの見えるスポットに船で向かい、2度海へダイブしましたがイルカの姿が見えず...
また場所を変えて3度目でしっかりイルカが見れました!(しかも近い!!!)
普段は1回目から見えるそうで、私たちのタイミングが悪かったのかもしれません...。
その後、ウミガメや熱帯魚のいる場所へ移動し、SUPや滑り台などをして遊ぶ時間がありました。
海が凄く透き通ってて最高でした!!!
余談ですが、船に乗る前に、酔い止めを飲みましたが、やっぱり少し酔いました...。
途中で酔い止めを追加して飲んだので、心配な方は多めに持って行くことをオススメします。
Every encounter with the wild animals living in the vast ocean is different, but the excitement when you do meet them is truly special. Thank you for the advice on motion sickness! It's said that taking it once the night before and once again on the morning of the trip works very well, so please give it a try if you can. Mahalo.
大海原を生きる野生の動物たちとの出会いは毎回違いますが、その分出会えた時の感動はひとしおです。
酔い止めのアドバイスもありがとうございます!
前日の夜に一度、当日の朝にもう一度飲む2度のみの方法もよく効くと評判ですのでよろしければ試してみてくださいね。

A few years ago, I experienced ziplining in another part of Hawaii and had so much fun, so this time I joined with my friend and her daughter, making a group of four. There were three lines, and I enjoyed the refreshing feeling; it was great. The two staff members, Kiana and Liz, were very charming and cute, providing clear explanations and prioritizing safety.
There were also four other participants, and it was pleasant to communicate with everyone. The location is just a short distance from Kapolei; it's compact but offers plenty of enjoyment. I definitely want to try six lines next time.

We were about ten people celebrating the wedding of one of the girls living in Hawaii. It was a great memory. The ship didn't sway much, so I wasn't worried about seasickness. Hawaiian beer is well chilled and costs around $4 to $5. You don't need marine shoes since you board barefoot. Be careful of sunburn. The boarding area is between the Sheraton and Halekulani. The girl at the reception doesn't speak Japanese, but she is friendly.
日本人は我々位でしたが、ハワイ在住の女のコたちの一人が結婚するとかで10人位でお祝いにて乗船しておりました。良い思い出です。船は揺れも少なく船酔いは心配ありません。ハワイのビールは4から5ドルでよく冷えてます。乗船時は裸足ですのでマリンシューズは必要ありません。日焼けは注意です。乗り場はシェラトンとハレクラニの間。受け付けの女のコは日本語はNGですがフレンドリー。

We moved out to sea on a small boat with a total of 16 people, divided into 8 groups of 2, and took turns flying.
It swayed quite a bit, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness.
I also recommend bringing a GoPro, as you can capture footage while parasailing!

I had an incredibly fun time. My husband and I are saying that if we can go to Hawaii again, we would love to do it once more. We go out quite a bit offshore, so you can enjoy the feeling of cruising. However, it does get pretty bumpy until then, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication if you're feeling anxious.
The guidance is basically in English, but it's manageable. As others have mentioned, there is a photo sale, but you won't be treated unpleasantly if you politely say no.
