I was picked up by bus and moved to Senba, where everyone cheerfully explained everything in Japanese, from the precautions for boarding the boat to the overall flow. I had an incredibly fun time, got to see turtles, and it became the best memory!!! This time I came for my honeymoon, but I would like to use this service again when our family grows!!
バスで迎えにきてもらい、船場まで移動し、船乗る時の注意点から、全体の流れまで日本語で皆んな明るく説明してくれ、めちゃくちゃ楽しく過ごせて、カメも見れて、最高の思い出になりました!!!
今回はハネムーンできましたが、今度は家族が増えた際に、また利用させてもらいたいです!!

Our time at sand bar was amazing, it started with the crew and the musicians.
they made us comfortable and answered all our questions.
We had booked the banana boat and bumper package and it was exhilarating.

This is one of our favorite things my wife and I were able to do in Hawaii. We made a mistake while making our order, but they were very accommodating and helped us out. The captain and crew were extremely nice and helped set the tone for a good expedition. Quite a few families with kids went along, as well. The captain took time to spend with a young boy, giving him a treat that you could tell made the boy’s day. The trip gives you a great view of the bay, only improved by very a hospitable captain and crew. And we saw lots of turtles! We really appreciated the experience.

I have been visiting Hawaii for over twenty years, and I thought I should participate in a sandbar experience at least once. In November, the sandbar is not visible at all (to be precise, you can only see a slight difference in color indicating shallow or deep water from the boat). The water level reaches up to my neck at 162 cm tall. The shallow period, where the water is only ankle-deep, is said to be in the summer.
Additionally, due to somewhat cloudy weather and strong winds, it was quite cold, and it didn't feel enjoyable. *The shuttle vehicle is refrigerator-level cold, so a jacket is essential.* The snorkeling was quite ordinary... there was no mention of sea turtles. I highly recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay instead.
The areas for activities like snorkeling, SUP, and kayaking are limited (not very wide), so you end up turning back shortly after you start paddling. The trip from the port is quick, with Hawaiian music playing for 2-3 songs on the way there, and on the return trip, it turned into a lively dance party for foreigners.
In terms of facilities and services, there are two women's restrooms and one men's restroom on board. There are unlimited donuts (two types), water, lemonade, tea bags, and hot water available. The donuts are delicious. There were two kind staff members who spoke a little Japanese (Kansai dialect). This staff member goes around the tables explaining things for Japanese participants.
I recommend participating during the summer season, but overall, considering the price, it felt like a 360-degree beach experience.
ハワイに通い続けて二十数年、一度くらいサンドバーに行っておこうと思い参加しました。
11月のこの時季、砂州は全く見えません。(正しくは、船から見て浅いか深いかの色の違い程度)
水位は私の身長162cmだと首くらいまであります。
足首程度の浅い時期は夏だそうです。
また、多少天気(雲多め)のせいもありましたが、風も強くてとにかく寒く楽しむって感じではありませんでした。
※送迎の車内は冷蔵庫レベルなので、上着が必須です。
シュノーケリングもごく普通...ウミガメなんて話にも出てきません。
ハナウマ湾でシュノーケリングする方が、圧倒的におすすめです。
シュノーケリング含めSUPやカヤックも遊べる範囲が限られている(それほど広くない)ので、漕いだらすぐに折り返すって感じです。
港からはあっという間なので、往路はハワイアンミュージック2~3曲で到着、復路はノリのいい外国人向けのダンスパーティー場と化しました。
設備やサービスとして、船内にはトイレは女性用×2、男性用×1あります。
ドーナツ(2種類)と水、レモネード、ティーバッグ+お湯が食べ放題、飲み放題です。
ドーナツは美味しいです。
少しですが日本語(関西弁)を話す親切なスタッフが2人居ました。
説明などは、このスタッフが日本人向けにテーブルを回り説明してくれます。
参加するならサマーシーズンおすすめしますが、全体的にはお値段を考えると360度のビーチってレベルでした。

This was my second time participating. I felt reassured because there were staff members who could communicate in Japanese. I was worried about food and hydration since lunch wasn't provided, but there were light snacks like sweets and warm cocoa available, so I didn't feel particularly hungry even though it took until the afternoon.
There were many free rental options available, and even with the tide coming in, I was able to have a lot of fun with the inflatable rings and kayaks. For snorkeling, there is a rental set available. If you're concerned about hygiene, I think it's a good idea to bring your own gear.
Even for those who are not confident swimmers, the staff had inflatable rings that you could hold onto while swimming, so I think you can participate with peace of mind.
It can be cold on the water and on the bus ride back, so I recommend definitely bringing a long-sleeved rash guard and a change of clothes. Also, if you have an underwater camera, you can capture memories of turtles while snorkeling, so bringing one would be great for preserving your travel memories.
I had an absolutely amazing time. I'm very satisfied!!
2回目の参加。
日本語対応のスタッフさんもいたため安心して参加することが出来ました。
昼食等は着いてなかったので、水分や食事が心配でしたが、お菓子などの軽食や暖かいココア等が準備されていたため、昼過ぎまでかかりますが特に空腹等は気にならなかったです。
無料で借りれるオプションがたくさんあったたも、潮が満ちていても浮き輪やカヤック等でたくさん遊べました。
シュノーケルでは、貸出のセットがあります。感染面が気になる方は各自用意するといいと思います。
泳ぎが苦手な方でもスタッフさんが浮き輪をもっていてそれに掴む方で泳ぐことも出来るので安心して参加できると思いました。
海の上や帰りのバスは寒いので長袖のラッシュガードや着替えは必ず持っていった方がいいと思います。また、水中カメラ等あるとシュノーケルの際に亀などもとれるためある方はもってくると旅の思い出を写真に残すことができると思います。
最高に楽しかったです。大満足です!!

The week before was said to be cold, but the day I participated had great weather, perfect for activities! The emerald green clarity of the sea was incredible, and depending on the day, the tide was different, so the sandbar was not knee-deep but waist-deep. However, the calm sea allowed for marine activities, and during snorkeling, I was lucky enough to see many fish and a sea turtle near the coral reef, which was amazing. The participants were from various countries, and although the explanations were in English, Jamie, a half-Japanese sister, was fluent in Japanese and helped by providing explanations in Japanese. The half-day tour was so much fun and went by in a flash! I definitely want to participate in this tour again! There were free snacks provided, including drinks, snacks, and fruit. The hotel pick-up was also on time.
前の週は寒かったそうですが、自分の参加したい日は天候が良くて、絶好のアクティビティ日和でした!海のエメラルドグリーンの透明度が半端なくて、その日によって潮の満ち潮が違うので、サンドバーはひざ丈ではなく、腰の高さはありました。でも静かな海と、マリンアクティビティができて、シュノーケリングでは、珊瑚礁近くに沢山の魚と、海ガメをラッキーにもみることが出来て、最高でした。参加者は色んな国の人達で、英語の説明ですが、ハーフのお姉さんジェイミーが、日本語がペラペラなので、説明も日本語でしてくれて助かりました。とても楽しく半日のツアーがあっという間でした!また是非参加してみたいツアーです!!軽食が無料で付いていてドリンクと、スナックと果物と食べられました。ホテル送迎も時間通りでした。

The live musicians were awesome and got the crowd pumped and excited. The lifeguards were also great in explaning how to do things such as kayak, snokleing, as well as the banana boat and bumper float. The views while in the water, amazing. So BEAUTIFUL! Definetly must go to Kaneohe Sandbar.

I participated in a tour with Captain Bruce. Half of the participants were Japanese, and there were both a Japanese guide and an English guide, providing thorough explanations without any difficulties. Although it was low tide and the water level was about waist-deep, unfortunately, we couldn't see the beach. However, the weather was nice, and during the final snorkeling session, we encountered a honu! It was a very satisfying tour.

It was a full moon and low tide, which should have been about 1 ft, but when I got there, the water level was up to an adult's waist. It turns out that achieving a perfect low tide with white sand is quite miraculous.
The ocean in Hawaii in November was colder than I expected, and Japanese tourists quickly got back on the boat. It seemed like Westerners stayed in the water a bit longer since they tend to have lower body temperatures.
When we arrived, it was gloomy due to the rain, but about 20 minutes after reaching the heavenly sea, the sun came out. You really can't know what Hawaii's ocean is like until you experience it.
There is a staff member who speaks Japanese, so it's okay if you don't understand English. As others have mentioned, on the way back, they stop by the famous malasada food truck "Leonard's." While there's a long line at the store on the Waikiki side, you don't have to wait here, which is great!
満月で干潮、1ftのはずだったけれど、現地に行ってみたら大人の腰の高さの水位。
やはり、白砂の上がる完璧な干潮は、かなり奇跡に近いことが分かる。
11月のハワイの海は思ったより寒く、日本人観光客は早々にボートに上がってきました。欧米人は体温が低いので、わりと長く海に入っていたように思います。
現地に着いた時は、雨でどよーんとしていたが、天国の海に着いて20分程したら晴れ間が。ハワイの海は行ってみたいと分からないものです。
クルースタッフには、日本語を話すお姉さんがいるので、英語が分からなくても大丈夫。他の人も書いていましたが、帰りにマラサダの名店「レナーズ」のフードトラックに寄ってくれます。ワイキキ側の店舗では買うのに行列ですが、ここは並ばなくて良いので◎。

I was waiting near the lobby of the designated hotel for the morning gathering, but it seems I was at the wrong location (it was actually next to the lobby, in the parking space on Kaiulani Avenue), so I kept everyone waiting a bit.
On the way to Sandbar, the driver introduced various shops visible from the car window. It seems that malasadas were recommended, and we were able to stop by Leonard's food truck on the way back to purchase some.
Upon arrival, a representative from Captain Bruce's provided a thorough explanation, and there was someone who spoke Japanese as well.
We moved to the boat, and while we were required to take off our shoes, we were allowed to keep our reef shoes on.
The boat had snacks, juice, and warm drinks available, and everyone was free to eat and drink as they pleased.
Everyone started snorkeling at the same time. Since there were many people, those at the front were kicked or bumped into. There is a designated swimming area, but I recommend keeping a good distance from others within that area. The sea was very beautiful, and I was able to see sea turtles several times!
After swimming for a while, I accidentally swallowed a lot of seawater and started to feel a bit unwell. A woman from Captain Bruce's came over to check on me, and I was able to rest on a float, which was a great help. When we returned to the boat, it was really cold. I think it would be good to have a jacket that can get wet and a few larger towels. There are warm drinks available, but you'll want to go to the restroom... By the way, there is one shared restroom on the boat. I didn't use it myself (laughs).
After that, I lightly experienced stand-up paddleboarding, but towards the end, it was so cold that I was huddled on the boat (laughs).
The sea was very beautiful, and snorkeling was fun. The only disappointment was that we couldn't walk on the beach due to high tide.
朝集合の際、指定ホテルのロビー近くで待っていましたが、場所が違ったようで(実際はロビー横、カイウラニアベニューの駐車スペース)少し待たせてしまいました。
サンドバーへ向かう途中、運転手の方が車窓から見える色んなお店を紹介してくれました。マラサダがオススメのようで帰りにレナーズのワゴン車(キッチンカー?)に寄ってくれて購入できました。
到着するとキャプテンブルースの方が一通りの説明をしてくれて、日本語を話せる方もいました。
船に移動し、靴は脱ぐことになっていましたがリーフシューズは履いたままでOKでした。
船にはお菓子やジュース、温かい飲み物が置いてあり、みんな自由に食べたり飲んだりしていました。
シュノーケルから全員スタート。
一斉にスタートしたので人数が多く、始めの方は前の人に蹴られたりひました。泳げるエリアが決まっていますが、その中でもうまく距離を取ることをおすすめします。笑
海がとても綺麗で何度かウミガメを見ることもできました!
しばらく泳いだ後、たくさん海水を飲んでしまい少し気分が悪くなってしまったときに、キャプテンブルースの女性が声をかけてくれ、浮き輪に乗せてもらい休憩することごでき助かりました。
その後船に戻るととにかく寒かったです。持ち物にある濡れてもいい上着、あと大き目のタオルは何枚かあると良いと思いました。温かい飲み物もありますがトイレに行きたくなってしまうので…。
ちなみに船には共有トイレが1つあります。自分は使用しませんでした(笑
その後軽くサップも体験しましたが、最後の方は寒くてずっと船でうずくまっていました(笑)
海はとても綺麗でした。シュノーケルも楽しかったです。
残念だったのは満潮で砂浜を歩けなかったことくらいです。

It was a particularly windy day, and perhaps because it was somewhat cloudy, the water was cold, and everyone was getting in with blue lips. The water was about adult chest height, making it quite difficult for a 5-year-old to move around without assistance. It may not have been suitable for small children. There were other kids present, but they all seemed to be in a bad mood after getting in the water. The babies were crying loudly. Since it was quite cold after entering the water, I recommend bringing a long-sleeved change of clothes.
However, the guides were all friendly and kindly explained things in broken Japanese. I think it would have been enjoyable if the weather had been nice and there hadn't been any wind.
ちょうど風が強い日で、曇り気味だったせいか、水が冷たくてみなさん唇真っ青になりながら水に入っていました。大人の胸くらいまで水深で、5歳児にとっては補助なしでは水の中を移動するのもやっとでした。小さい子ども向けのアクティビティではなかったかもしれません。他にもお子さんがいらっしゃいましたが、どの子も入水後は機嫌が悪そうでした。ましてや赤ちゃんなんてギャン泣きしてました。入水後かなり寒かったので長袖の着替えを持っていくことをお勧めします。
でも、ガイドさんたちはみんなフレンドリーで日本語もカタコトながら親切に説明してくれました。天気が良くて、風さえなければ楽しかったと思います。

There’s no point in going out to sea just to see nothing but water.
The text should clearly state that the beach is not visible during the travel time. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have made the reservation.
ただ船で行く海の中www
砂浜も見えないただの海で行く意味なし。
もっとわかりやすく本文に、行く時間に砂浜が見えないことを記載するべき。それがわかっていたら予約してない。

This was our family’s first ever experience, snorkeling. We did not use the transportation, but drove ourselves. Parking was easy. The check-in process was smooth and on time. The crew was friendly, professional, and extremely entertaining. Sandbar volleyball was a lot of fun and lunch was delicious. We saw so many sea turtles on our way to the reef. We are beginners and the reef size was perfect for us to go all the way around and see lots of fish and turtles. This was a wonderful experience for our first trip to Hawaii and we would definitely recommend.
