On the day of the event, it was nearly full, and there were many tourists with us. We took a bus to the port and boarded the boat, but it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there, and the explanations were mostly in English. Since we didn't understand English, we could only guess what they were saying based on the atmosphere. I was a bit anxious, but somehow it turned out okay (laughs). During snorkeling, we were able to see quite a few sea turtles, and I was really happy to see a sea turtle come up to the surface right next to us. The other activities were also quite enjoyable. On the way back, since we wanted to go somewhere other than the hotel, we were kindly accommodated with our request to disband at a different location, which we appreciated.
参加当日は満席に近い状態で沢山の観光客の方が一緒でした。
港までバスで移動し、船に乗り込んだのですが、日本人の方は私たちくらいのようでほとんど日本語はなく英語での説明だったので、英語がわからない自分たちは雰囲気でこう言ってるのかな?としかわかりませんでした。
少し不安もありましたが、何とか!?大丈夫でした(笑)
シュノーケリングの際は結構、ウミガメを見れたし、しかも海面まであがってくるウミガメを真横で見れたのですごく嬉しかったです。
他のアクティビティもそれなりに楽しかったです。
帰りはホテルではなく、他の場所に行きたかったので現地で解散させていただいたりとこちらの要望に親切に対応して頂いたの有り難かったです。

I really enjoyed the friendly people whoever was leading the tour and also the live music, it was fabulous! But I would have to say , they didn’t do good for the safety part… I got injured from the snorkeling because it was my first time ever, I definitely lacked of knowledge about how to snorkel safely, and no one was giving instructions about how to stay safe in the ocean. I got injured from accidentally hitting the coral, I never know the coral can be that close to people (I never had ocean experience). I also was not the only person that was injured, another strong man, he was attacked by jellyfish. Hopefully they can do better for the safety instructions.
We are very sorry to hear that you got injured from coral. Your feedback has been shared with our crews and we will make effort to keep everyone safe. Mahlo! - Team KBOS

First of all, all the participants were Japanese! After heading out to sea from the port by boat, you can go snorkeling from the sandbar. While snorkeling, you can swim with many fish while viewing coral. It's a matter of luck, but a sea turtle appeared right in front of me, and I was able to swim with it! I highly recommend it!
まず、参加者は全員日本人でした!
ボートで港から沖に出たあと、サンドバーから出てシュノーケリングができます

Our experience with Captain Robin, Kay, and Sydney was absolutely amazing! Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise is a must! My husband and I loved everything about the experience…friendly, knowledgeable, hands on staff who truly gave each of the participants support and care. This was my first time to snorkel and Captain Robin stayed by my side until I was ready to snorkel without any assistance. There was time to paddle-board and float. It was a wonderful experience and exceeded our expectations.

I had a truly valuable experience! The instructor was very kind and guided us with safety in mind. Although the water was cold since we started at 5 AM, I had reserved a wetsuit in advance, so I was fine during the long snorkeling session. On the day of participation, there was little wind, and I was able to see four sea turtles up close! Additionally, I was able to see many marine creatures that can only be found in Hanauma Bay, which was truly moving.
If I were to mention one point of caution, those with weak vestibular systems may be more prone to seasickness. I recommend taking a strong anti-nausea medication beforehand! I personally have a weak constitution and took Dramamine before participating, but I still experienced significant seasickness.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you very much to the instructors!
とても貴重な体験ができました!
インストラクターさんはとても優しく、安全に配慮しながら案内をしてくださいました。
朝5時からの参加で水は冷たかったのですが、スイムスーツを事前に予約し、お借りしたので、長時間のシュノーケリングでも大丈夫でした。
参加日当日は風が少なく、ウミガメを4匹も間近で見ることができました!その他にも、ハナウマ湾でしか見ることのできない海の生物をたくさん見ることができて、本当に感動しました。
1点のみ注意点を挙げるとするならば、三半規管の弱い方は波酔いの可能性が高いです。強めの酔い止めをあらかじめ飲んでおくことをオススメします!!私は元々弱い方で、トラベ◯ミンを飲んでから参加しましたがガッツリ波酔いしました。
総合的には一生の思い出に残る経験ができました。インストラクターの方々、本当にありがとうございました。

It was a very enjoyable and fulfilling tour! The staff, who are fluent in both English and Japanese, provided thorough guidance. I recommend checking the dates and times for low tide before making a reservation. (As for the weather on the day, we can only leave it to luck...) On the day of the activities, you can freely choose from options like SUP, inflatable rings, and snorkeling, so I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. If you're going to Waikiki, definitely go for it! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I was a bit unsure about swimming since it was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to learn without any problems. There was a large moray eel, and the underwater world was a wonderful experience. I was so moved and swam with enthusiasm, and just when I started to feel a bit tired, the tour wrapped up nicely. I think even those without much stamina can enjoy it. The guide was kind and relaxed, not pushing us to be overly energetic, which made for a pleasant experience. Thank you very much.
初めてのシュノーケリングで、泳ぎもそんなに自信ない感じでしたが、問題なく習得できました。大きなウツボもいて、初めての海の中の世界は素晴らしい体験でした。感動して夢中で泳いで、少し疲れてきたかな?と気づいたころに丁度一周がおわり、そんなに体力ない方でも楽しめると思います。ガイドさんも、無理にテンション上げさせる感じでなく、親切でリラックスした感じの方で気持ちよく過ごせました。ありがとうございました。

Having been to a few islands and done various activities, the Kaneohe Sandbar was a unique experience. Standing in the bay very far from shore, being able to look at the windward coast while SUP'ing and snorkeling and generally hanging out was so memorable. On top of that, the guides were so great and friendly, the donut and tang tasty treats and music from live performers was an unreal touch.
This was a great way to get exposure to a bunch of activities without exhausting yourself getting out to the sandbar on a rented kayak. Being able to BYOB and not worry about how that will affect your trip back to the dock was a super bonus!
NOTE: the snorkeling on the sandbar is super limited since the water is only waist-deep. Great for beginners and kiddos, but if you want a more snorkel focused tour, search around for that.

The morning tour on 11/3 couldn't have been better. The small deli/store has adult beverages, some limited hot items and small snacks but they do serve food. The pancakes where delicious but the egg spam and cheese breakfast sando was perfect. When we returned as the afternoon tour was starting the deli/store switched over to more lunch items like fried chicken which looked pretty good.
The tour was great! The crew was on point and the entertainment brought it to another level. Couple bathrooms and they served donuts, juice and water to start. The activities were a highlight. It's my first time out at the sandbar and just hanging in the water was the best. I'm 6ft and it was up to my neck at its highest, atleast where I ventured to. The dock was a good place to get some time off the water if not in the boat. Kayaking and sup were awesome. Snorkeling is a must do with Brudahh guy! The whole crew was a blast. The ke'aloha singers are worth the price alone.
Bring a cooler with whatever snacks/picnic food/drinks and adult beverages. Grab a towel and some sunscreen and you're going to have a great time! But forsure I'll be back!
Sidenote: we got there at 8am for our checkin at 845 and parking was sparse. I'm not sure where everyone else ended up but it didn't seem like a huge inconvenience wherever they parked. Just don't park where you aren't supposed to like the 2hr spots and the boat trailer spots.

There were several activity companies for the sandbar, so I carefully chose this one. The key points were the long duration of the stay and the appealing hamburger lunch on the boat. The weather was great, and my excitement was high from the start. The female guide was very experienced, and it was nice that the group was divided into Japanese and English speakers. She took a lot of photos, and since we could practice snorkeling at the sandbar, my friends who were trying it for the first time seemed to enjoy it without any confusion. Everything was perfect until the end, and I can only say that I was glad to participate.
This trip to Hawaii only had this water activity planned, so it became a wonderful memory.

In the early morning, there are courses available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, and I chose the morning to head to "Kaneohe"! The ocean was even more beautiful than I imagined, and there was plenty of time to play and enjoy the sea. The guide informed us that there’s a high chance of encountering "honu" (sea turtles), and while looking at the surface of the water, everyone suddenly pointed at the sea (laughs). This time, I participated with my family, and we returned feeling warm and happy. I was a bit concerned about the restroom situation, but overall, it was a lot of fun!

The snorkeling lasted just under an hour, but it was quite exhausting. For me, it was the right amount of time. I was also able to enjoy seeing the sea turtles. The hamburger for lunch was delicious. With unlimited soft drinks, I didn't have to worry about hydration. A larger towel is definitely a must.
シュノーケルは1時間弱でしたがかなり体力消耗しました 私的には適量な時間でした
ウミガメにもあえて満喫できました
ランチのハンバーガーも美味しくいただきました
ソフトドリンクが飲み放題なので水分補給は心配なし
大きめのタオルは必須ですね

The pick-up and drop-off times were on schedule. The crew mostly spoke English and had little understanding of Japanese, but they were cheerful and provided very good service. I was unable to see any dolphins.
送迎の時間などは定刻通りでした。クルーの皆さんはほぼ英語で日本語はほとんど通じませんでしたが、にこやかでとても良い対応をしてもらいました。
イルカを見ることは出来ませんでした。

The water temperature was a bit low and it was cold, but I was glad to encounter a sea turtle. It was my first time snorkeling, and my 10-year-old son was also happy.
There are several staff members who speak Japanese, and they provide explanations in Japanese as well. About 80% of the tourists are Japanese.
There are no changing rooms, so we went in our swimsuits and wiped off our wet bodies before getting on the bus for the return trip. Some people were changing in the restroom, but there are only three stalls, so it gets crowded. It might be tough for those who are not good with the cold.
水温がやや低く、寒かったですが、ウミガメとも遭遇できて良かったです。初めてのシュノーケリングでしたが、10歳の息子も喜んでいました。
スタッフには、日本語を話せる人が数名居て、説明は日本語でもしてくれますし、8割は日本人観光客です。
着替える場所は無いので、水着着用で行き、帰りは濡れた体を拭いてそのままバスに乗りました。トイレで着替えている方も居ましたが、3つしか無いので混みます。寒いのが苦手な人にはつらいかもしれません。
Aloha!

I wanted to go to Kailua Beach, but I participated in a tour due to concerns about the time it would take to get there and the unfamiliar transportation. The pickup service to a nearby hotel was very helpful. The driver spoke in English, but I felt reassured as many of the other participants were Japanese. Additionally, there was a Japanese female staff member who provided explanations in Japanese beforehand, which was great! (I think it's important to note that she may not always be available.) The other staff members were locals, but they could speak some simple Japanese and told us about the fish and sea turtles, which was fun as they spoke to us in Kansai dialect. Even with the basic plan, there were three options: SUP, snorkeling, and boards, and rotating among them turned out to be just the right amount of time, so I was satisfied.
カイルアビーチに行きたかったのですが、移動に時間がかかってしまうことや慣れない交通機関が不安だったりことからツアーに参加しました。近くのホテルまで送迎がありとても助かりました。運転手は英語で話していましたが、他の参加者は日本人が多かったので安心しました。また、1人日本の女性スタッフがいて、事前に日本語で説明してくれたのが良かったです!(常にいるとは限らないと思うので注意が必要です)他のスタッフさんは現地の方々ばかりでしたが、簡単な日本語は話せて、魚や海亀がいると教えてくれたり、関西弁で話しかけてくれて楽しかったです。基本のプランでもsup.シュノーケリング.ボードと3種類あり、交代交代で使うと意外と時間も丁度良かったので、満足できました。
We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much for participating. From all of us at KBOS.
ツアー楽しんで頂けた様で大変嬉しく思います。ご参加頂き誠にありがとうございました。KBOS スタッフ一同

Since it was early in the morning, the weather was clear, and the water was beautiful, I was able to see various types of fish. Four years ago, I encountered sea turtles and seals in the same spot, but unfortunately, I didn't see them this time.
However, the couple who guided us were great; the husband spoke Japanese well and pointed out interesting fish, saying things like, "Look, there's ●●!" which made it really enjoyable. At one point, when some participants got tired, the wife went back to the shore with them, and when I got too caught up in taking photos and was left behind, they noticed and helped me catch up. Their consideration for everyone to have a good time was very much appreciated.
During the car ride to and from the location, they shared a lot of information, which was really fun.
I tried to take photos with my Google Pixel 7 Pro in a waterproof case, but about 80% of them turned out blurry, so I regretted not bringing my GoPro. However, the guide uploaded some photos to Facebook, which I was able to download for free! I felt grateful to have beautiful photos capturing the scenes I experienced.
朝イチだったこともあり、晴れていて海の中もきれいで色んな種類の魚に会えました。4年前には同じ場所でウミガメやアザラシにも会えたのですが、今回は会えずでしたが・・。
でも、ご夫婦でガイドをされていて、旦那さんも日本語が上手で、面白い魚がいると「●●がいるよー」と声をかけてくれてとっても楽しめました。途中で疲れた方は奥様と一緒に先に岸に戻って・・といったことや、撮影に夢中になってみんなに置いてかれている私を見つけて引っ張って行ってくれたりと、参加者みんなが楽しめるような気遣いもとっても感じました。
行き帰りの車の中でもいろんな情報を教えてくれて、とっても楽しかったです。
Google Pixel 7Proを防水スマホケースに入れて撮影を試みましたが、8割がたピンボケしていたのでやっぱりGoPro持っていけばよかったと思いました。ただ、ガイドさんが撮影した写真をいくつかFacebookに上げてくれているので、それをDLさせていただきました(無料です)!自分がみた光景をきれいな写真に残せている気分でありがたかったです。

Aloha! Thank you for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea Tour. We sincerely appreciate your participation.
It seems that on the day you joined us, there were fewer guests from Japan, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. However, I am relieved to hear that you enjoyed the tour. I am truly happy to know that you were able to see the sea turtles.
When you come back to Hawaii, please visit this sandbar again to meet the sea turtles. We look forward to that day with all our hearts.
アロハ! キャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーです。 この度はツアーにお越しいただきましてありがとうございました。
ご参加頂きました日はたまたま日本からのお客様が少なかったようで、ご不便をおかけしたようで大変申し訳ございませんでした。
それでもこのツアーを楽しんで頂けたとお聞きし安心いたしました。ウミガメとも会えたとのことで本当に嬉しく思います。
またハワイにお越しの際はウミガメ達に会いにこのサンドバーにお越しください。その日を心よりお待ちしております。
